Running behind the two, Xiao You immediately saw the height between the Hakamata sisters. Of course, this kind of height does not refer to height, that kind of thing is too obvious, and you can see that Hakamata Hanatsuki is much taller than Hakamata Hinata by looking at it directly. The high and low here refers to the athletic ability of the two.

Hakamata Hinata has always lagged behind Hakamata Kazuki.

Should I really say that I really deserved to be the marathon champion in the fourth grade? However, although Hakamata Katsuki's strength is outstanding, Xiao You still found from Hakamata Kazuki's small actions from time to time that Hakamata Kazuki did not show his true skills, but consciously, or should it be said that he was letting Hakamata Hinata.

"Show me the real thing, little flower."

And Hakamata Kazuki's obvious water release, as her sister, Hakamata Kazuki, who understands her sister's strength, naturally knows it.

"Hinata wants to see the full strength of Xiaohua. It's okay, I'm not going to lose. ”

"But"

"I can understand your concern, but that wouldn't be a real game." While the two were having a conversation, Hasegawa interjected.

yes, it's a game, it's a game with a bet. Realizing this, Hakamata Kazuki nodded and said to the three of them, "I know, I've shown my real skills." After saying this, as Hakamata Kazuki herself said, she sped up her speed and suddenly opened up the distance between her and the three of them.

"Oh~~ It's Xiaohua's way of running~~" Looking at Hakamata Kazuki who was accelerating, Hakamata Hinata didn't care at all that she was thrown farther and farther away by Hakamata Kazuki, but said happily.

Looking at Hakamata Hanatsuki, who was slowly moving away, Xiao You smiled.

The so-called marathon is not about who is fast, but about whose endurance and will are stronger. I don't know if Hakamata Kazuki's speed is her usual rhythm, but is it really good to suddenly change the rhythm of her running? It's not a sprint race. Hinata, who is moving at a constant pace and is not in a hurry, is not without the possibility of victory.

The final destination is on the beach. The women of the women's basketball club did not change into swimsuits again to swim and play in the water, after all, they had played before and had an extra training, plus now the two Hakamata sisters are still competing, and the four of them are not in the mood to play anymore, however, the four of them are not in the mood to play, but it doesn't mean that others are not in the mood, like Huangmei Xing, Yutano Fuyuko, Mirror Black, Usamimi. Kuju Rin didn't want to play and wanted to wait like the four of them, but when he thought of agreeing to his request and coming over with himself to have a day of fun with him, Kuju Rin could only reluctantly give up the idea of waiting and play with the two.

Very leisurely, Misawa Maho drew a finish line with a tree branch on the beach, why it is called the finish line, of course, because above this line, Misawa Maho also specially marked it with the word 'end'.

"Sure enough, let's run together." Compared to the laid-back Misawa Maho, Nagatsuka Saki is a little worried about the two who are in the race.

"Hinata's words must not matter." However, Kashii Ellie is very confident in Hinata.

"Haha Shaji, have you been infected by the disease that Ah Yueai is worried about?" And Misawa Maho also made fun of Nagasuka Saji when he heard this.

"I also believe in Hinata~"

"Well, absolutely no problem."

It seems that everyone in the women's basketball club has a lot of confidence in Hinata.

The camera returns to Xiao You's side, the marathon is still going on, although Hakamata Kazuki is still in the lead, but she can't get rid of Hakamata Hinata either. The two of them have been running for a long time, especially Hinata, who is closest to him, and Xiao You can hear her panting.

However, since this is a game between the two, the two boys who are watching all this behind the two women naturally can't interfere, and what they can do is to silently cheer for Hakamata Hinata.

As time passed, it was getting dusk. The speed of both women had dropped considerably, almost somewhere between jogging and walking. Although Hakamata Kazuki is still in the lead, it is worth noting that the distance between Hakamata Hinata and Hakamata Kazuki is slowly shortening.

The distance between the two is about three positions, following behind the two, Xiao You can clearly hear the rapid panting of the two, it seems that the physical fitness of the two has dropped to a certain extent, and the next thing to look at is perseverance.

"Ah, here we are."

Finally, before sunset, the two finally ran to the finish line. And the moment he ran out of the corner, Xiao You heard the voices of everyone in the women's basketball club.

"Hinata! Come on! ”

"Here and here!! The end is here. ”

"Flower Moon! Come on! ”

"It's coming soon."

Seeing that the finish line was approaching, the two coincidentally chose to use their last bit of strength to make the final sprint! And the distance between the two. It shortened rapidly at this time, too.

Looking at the two people who were making the final sprint, Koyu and Hasegawa Pleiades, who had been behind the two of them, also stopped. Now the two of them no longer need the two of them to escort them, and then, they just need to wait quietly for the results.

"Rush!!"

"Reach the end!!"

After "Sister-sama" crossed the line, Hakamata Kazuki pressed her hands on her knees, her body bent slightly and panting, but she knew the state of her own body, so she was more worried about her sister's situation than herself. So, while panting, Hakamata Kazuki looked at Hakamata Hinata who was kneeling on the beach beside him and panting.

However, Hakamata Kazuki was greeted not by a tired face that seemed to faint at any time that she needed to worry about, but a face that was tired but sober and full of joy.

"Hinata Huhu is so happy that I finally ran with Xiaohua"

"It's hahahu, sister's final sprint, haha, it's very powerful"

"Oh~~Huh~~ was praised by Xiaohua~~"

"Haha, I don't need to worry anymore, sister, sister, it doesn't matter if you're alone."

"Oh~~ Why is it a person? It's not good to be alone, it's good to be with everyone, you have to be with Maho, Zhihua, Saji, Ellie, and Xiaohana to be happy, Hinata is so happy, because I'm not good at running, so I thought that even if I played with Hinata, Xiaohua wouldn't be happy, and I felt sorry for worrying you."

"Where is that kind of thing!!" Hearing Hakamata Hinata's words, Hakamata Kazuki stretched out her hand with some excitement, Hakamata Hinata didn't feel sorry for her, she was sorry for herself! However, the hand she stretched out that wanted to grab Hinata's shoulder and deny Hinata's words was grabbed by Hinata. I was grabbed by a warm, soft, sweaty little hand.

"Hinata, I've become able to run a long way. So, let's have fun together from now on. ”

"Yes!" The corners of his eyes were slightly filled with tears, and he remembered all kinds of hakamata in the past, and Kakamata Kazuki nodded heavily to Hakamata Hinata.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xiao You understood that the matter had been resolved, although Hasegawa's method wasted a lot of time, but ah, as long as the result was good, would it be soon? Don't get too entangled in the process or something.

"Good! Let's go back and take a shower!! Seeing that the matter has been well resolved, Misawa Maho, as the owner, also made such a suggestion to the people who had played for a day in a timely manner, and now it's not early, and it's time to take a comfortable hot bath, have a full meal, and then play for a while and sleep comfortably.

"Maho's bathhouse is a hot spring, right?"

"Really? I'm looking forward to it~"

Looking at the women who were talking and laughing in front of them and walking towards the villa, Xiao You and Hasegawa Pleiades behind everyone glanced at each other and followed.

"That"

At this time, Hakamata Kazuki, who was talking and laughing with Hakamata Hinata, was running towards the two of them from the front.

"I'm sorry for a lot of things."

Hakamata Hanatsuki came to the two of them and said apologetically. It seems that through this incident, Hakamata Kazuki's impression of Koyu and Hasegawa Pleiades has changed.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it."

"Sister, please leave it to you." Very solemnly, Hakamata Huayue bent slightly to the two of them and said earnestly.

Seeing this, Xiao You and Hasegawa Pleiades glanced at each other, Xiao You nodded, and motioned for Hasegawa Pleiades to speak. Comprehending Xiao You's meaning, Hasegawa scratched his cheeks a little embarrassed, and said to Hakamata Kazuki who was standing in front of him: "It may be a little strange for me, it's not okay to blame yourself too much." ”

"Huh?" Hearing Hasegawa's words, Hakamata Kazuki glanced at Hasegawa Pleiades a little strangely.

"If Sister Kazuki feels pain, Sister Hyuga will feel pain too. So"

"Thanks, I see. I want to be able to cheer for my sister from now on. But after hearing this, Kazuki Hakamata understood what Hasegawa wanted to say to her. Nodding, Hakamata Hanatsuki smiled and said this to the two, Xiao You could see that this was her heartfelt words.

It seems that the problem between the two sisters has indeed been solved.

Bowing to the two of them again, Hakamata Kazuki trotted to the side of the congregation women.

"Senior Pleiades, you did a good job this time, although you wasted a lot of time."

"Haha, yes, that's no way, if you just rely on what you say, Sister Huayue won't be convinced, right?"

"Well, too, thank you for your hard work."

"No, I'm nothing, but you, I'm sorry, let you accompany me."

"What's polite, how can you say that the two of us are also coaches of the women's basketball club, as coaches, shouldn't we help our students."

"yes, yes."

Speaking of this, Xiao You and Hasegawa couldn't help but smile at each other. Hasegawa Pleiades is laughing at what Xiao You doesn't know, but Xiao You knows what he is laughing at, that's because Xiao You found that he had a sense of belonging to the women's basketball club, that kind of warmth, like the warm feeling of a big family. This is the feeling that I feel in places other than Guima's house, in addition to everyone in the forest, and it really makes people feel very heartwarming.
