"Sakamoto, come on!"

"Sakamoto-kun, you're the best!"

"Boy, if you can't get the first place back, the old lady will ask you!"

Oops, I said, teacher, it's really okay to openly threaten desperate students on the field like this.

"Akihiko, come on!"

Needless to say, the voice was Akina's, and I turned my head to see a small face flushed from shouting.

This guy is really ......

I couldn't help but sigh inwardly and waved my hand in the direction of the class.

"Boy, is it okay to be so laid-back?"

At this moment, a not very friendly voice came from behind me, and I couldn't help but tilt my head, and then I saw a somewhat unfamiliar head.

"Ah...... You're not the guy behind me last time. ”

"Humph! Don't think you'll be happy this time, I'm completely different from the last time! Wait and eat the dust after me! ”

"Oops, there's this idle nonsense, it's better to speed up."

I smiled, and then suddenly accelerated, and the lap was just a warm-up.

"You guy!"

The loser who was following me saw me speeding up, and shouted unwillingly, but he insisted on keeping up with my speed.

But by this time my attention was no longer on him, but on the figure who was about 50 meters ahead of me.

With streamlined muscles and slender legs, it runs like a cheetah on a hunt, combining strength and beauty. This is the trump card of our school's athletics club, Sato Tree. I was second in the last race, but I was at least 200 meters behind this guy.

And this time, my goal is to surpass him.

But this thing is not easy, although that guy's explosive power is not as good as mine, but the endurance is close to the monster level, so if you want to surpass him, you have to maintain a certain range of gaps in the early stage, and keep the body used to sprint at the end.

Surpassing him in the sprint is my only hope, and I can't think of any other way to beat this guy, because I'm not as good as him.

……

"Whew...... Call...... I knew it would be painful, but it was ......."

On the track, I gasped for breath and stared at the figure almost 100 meters ahead. I knew in advance that I would have to run faster than I was used to if I didn't get too far away, but I hadn't experienced this painful state for a long time.

My legs were numb from fatigue, my head was tingling from lack of oxygen, and my vision was blurry.

But I still have the strength to sprint, and this body can definitely burst out at the last moment if I push it.

As for what will happen after that, let's wait until the time comes to have a headache.

By the way, there was no one behind me anymore, and after following me three laps, Defeat-kun finally couldn't bear to give up and run after me.

In addition, some students have already withdrawn, after all, the long-distance running of the race is not as leisurely as the usual exercise, and this kind of high-paced long-distance running is very demanding on the body.

"Come on! Come on Sakamoto! ”

"Come on, Akihiko!"

……

Once again, the cheers of my classmates reached my ears, but this time I had no energy left to respond to them.

By this point, it was already the seventh lap.

Race, and the last lap and a half.

It's almost time for the final desperate ......

I began to adjust my breathing, then glanced at the back in front of me.

Can it be ...... Catch up with that guy......

That's when ......

"Come on!"

Although the scene was already noisy, the sound was still caught by my ears, it was a familiar, nasty sound.

But this nasty voice is almost the same as the sound of heaven now......

"Brother! Come on! ”

At this time, are you finally willing to call me "brother"?

So, even if it's for this "brother", I want to surpass you!

My eyes suddenly brightened, and my tired body began to surge with new strength out of nowhere, and then I suddenly began to speed up.

There are still 500 meters to go until the end of the race.

Sato, perhaps sensing something, looked back and saw that he smiled lightly as I started the sprint, and although I couldn't see it very clearly from a distance, I was sure that it was definitely a confident smile.

Then, Sato started sprinting too, and although he was not as fast as me, there was a 100-meter gap between us.

But what is 100 meters!

"Ahhh

I let out a low growl and pushed myself to speed up again.

Come on!

There are still 400 meters to go!

Maybe it was because we started sprinting, and the atmosphere in the arena became more enthusiastic, and there were cheering voices everywhere, but this qiē couldn't affect me anymore.

There are still 300 meters to go!

The distance between me and Sato is gradually decreasing, but I have a feeling that if I continue like this, I still won't be able to catch up with that guy.

It has to be faster! I'm going to get faster!

Even though I was commanding myself, my body seemed to be at its limit......

There are still 200 meters!

The class at the finish line has begun to sit still, and although there are teachers to maintain order, some students are already starting to want to rush into the arena.

Then I saw that the familiar figure had dodged the teacher's obstruction and ran to the back of the finish line.

"Brother! Come on! Even if it's for me, you have to surpass that guy! ”

For Asuka...... For my sister!

This sentence echoed in my head, and then ......

"Ahhhh

In the midst of the roar, I forced myself to increase my speed again, and suddenly the distance between me and Sato began to shorten rapidly.

100 meters more!

Catch up with him, definitely catch up with him!

"Come on! Sakamoto! ”

"Rush! I'm about to catch up! ”

"Akihiko! Come on! ”

Amid the shouts of her classmates, Asuka smiled and opened her arms to me.

Another 50 meters!

"I will never admit that I am a sister control!"

At the last minute, I yelled almost out of control, and once again miraculously increased my speed.

And 20 meters more!

"I'm not going to lose!"

Sato also sensed the crisis, and he roared angrily, but he didn't get the speed to increase much.

However, I am still a little way from him.

Another 10 meters!

"Brother! Come on! ”

Asuka's voice reached my ears again, and my body once again gushed with strength.

My sister is calling me "brother"! So that's it! You can't afford to lose! If you lose, you're a guy who's not as good as the kind of creatures that my sister controls!

Definitely going to win! You have to win no matter what!

I completely pushed my limits, and in this moment, all the sounds in my world seemed to disappear, and the scene in front of me seemed to become a slow motion.

I saw Sato completely disappear from my eyes, and then the sensation of something hitting my abdomen reached my senses.

In the last less than five meters, I finally overtook Sato Tree!

After confirming this fact, it was as if all the strength in my body disappeared at once, and my whole body involuntarily fell forward.

Anyway...... Finally, I won......

Then, instead of the hard touch of the ground reaching my senses, I poured into something warm and soft, and the familiar aroma wafted into my nostrils.

It turned out to be ...... Asuka ah......

"Well done, worthy of my brother."

When I looked up, I saw a beautiful suffocating smile on that little face.

"My brother really won the first place for me...... Hehe......"
