The child's schoolbag was hanging in front of him, his hair and clothes were covered with leaves, and his panicked expression was reckless, and he felt a little cute.

The impolite guy embarrassedly asked me who I was, and though it was rude, I told him my name. When my mother was calling me home, he caught up with me and told me his name, Kiyono Kirikawa. It was the first time I met him, so it was a fun encounter.

It turns out that I live so close to him, and I heard my grandmother say that Kiyono would often come to talk to her, but now she just comes more often......

I have the impression that Kiyono basically had no other playmates at that time, and I always saw him alone, and Kiyono with his schoolbag on his back in the sunset came home from school with Shadow, and occasionally jumped up with small steps on the way, which was his self-amusement......

Of course, it was just the beginning, I didn't know Kiyono, I thought I could understand the loneliness of Kiyono, who was two years younger than me, but then I realized that it was actually me who was lonely. The loneliness I felt was nothing more than the illusion of being exposed to the smell of empathy.

But that's too much.,As far as sympathy is concerned.,I'm actually the one who is sick.,Kiritakawa is a clean child.,He's just missing a playmate.。

Therefore, after that, we naturally felt that we wanted to play together, and we never felt awkward and embarrassed, and the two little guesses may be very suitable to describe us at that time. We go to and from school together, we laugh at funny jokes we know, we plant trees together in the spring, we go to the forest in Tsukasa Kakuda to catch insects in the summer, we set up a log cabin in the trees in the winter, we listen to music when we are worried, and we read books together when we are quiet...... Even things that seem inconspicuous now, I guess I was full of joy at the time.

We are happy that you chase me, compare to see who got home first, and occasionally like to tease him who is not good at sports, hoping to see his disobedience in the end into a calm acceptance look, and he spent his childhood without quarrels, only feel warmth, and then I understand, this may be because he has a gentleness that no one has for me, and it is also because of this gentleness that we both value each other, and when we leave each other, we regard the time and memories together as happiness.

......

Time is like the maple forest that changes color, green, orange, red, gray...... Little by little, the details are devoured, and the passage is silent......

……

It was an inconspicuous physical education class that broke the status quo.

There are many things in life that I have not prepared for, they come together, and a little change will cause a circle of expanding ripples, just like the butterfly effect of interpersonal relationships, which can break the original peaceful days at once, inextricably linked, and there is nowhere to hide.

"Come on, Aoko! Come on! You're number one at the end of the lap."

"Come on, Aoko"

"Come on, Summer Palace-san"

Although I can't talk about the love of sports, I don't hate it, and among girls, it's the kind that I'm good at. With many of my classmates cheering for me, I also came up with the idea of running first.

However, it was much later that I realized that all the troubles that followed were the result of a little selfish desire, a little sudden desire to compete. Selfish thoughts became more and more unstoppable after that......

"Huh~"

Towards the finish line, my foot slipped forward, my body lost my center of gravity, and I fell to the ground with the sand rolling on the soles of my shoes.

The rubble broke my knees, and the cheering stopped. My classmates gathered around me, and some of them immediately called the PE teacher, but the teacher was not there. My good friend Kumiko tried to help me up, but there was a lot of blood oozing from my knee, and I couldn't stand up at all.

"Can any of you carry Aoko-san and me to the infirmary?" Kumiko shouted to the boys around her.

For a moment, there was a stunned expression on their faces, and no one said anything. (Maybe it's not that they're not enthusiastic, but they haven't memorized the experience of girls)

"Kumiko is ......"

As I was about to stand up and go to the infirmary, a tall boy squeezed in from outside the crowd and said

"Did something happen?"

Kumiko glanced at it, showed a little surprised expression, and said, "Seiji-san, Aoko-san, she is injured, can you please send Aoko to the infirmary with me?" ”

He looked at me, at my bleeding knee, to be exact. Then he immediately squatted down and said, "Give me my hand to Aoko-san, and I'll carry you to the infirmary"

The boy's name was Saint Si Yuze.

I have almost no intersection with him, I only know that he is very good at sports. Usually there are things that are called 'Xia Gong classmates', but today I suddenly changed my name to the name, which made me a little uncomfortable, and I also had a trace of rejection. However, I am very grateful for his help to me.

Seiji-san and Kumiko took me to the infirmary, after which Seiji-san said something like "Please take a good rest" and "Call a doctor if you have something" and left.

Kumiko stayed with me, she sat down next to my bedside, and after the doctor disinfected my knee and bandaged it, she whispered to me, "Now, what does Aoko think of Seiji-san?" ”

I was a little puzzled and said, "Impressions?" ”

Kumiko nodded, and without thinking, she replied, "Sunshine, helpful, good sports, etc."

"It's all superficial," Kumiko then whispered, "Seiji-san's popularity is quite popular, and it seems that many girls have secretly handed him love letters."

"Well, as you can imagine," I nodded.

"Has Aoko ever considered falling in love?" Kumiko's words caught me off guard and stunned.

Slowly spit out two words: "...... Nope"

It's really not, I didn't think about love before that. It turns out that my peers are starting to think about this, aren't we still young......

"Kumiko, you wouldn't be interesting to Seiji-san, would you?" I asked rhetorically

Kumiko's face turned red suddenly, and she hurriedly said, "How is it possible, I won't fall in love easily"

"Hahaha...... I'm kidding."

Kumiko's appearance at this time is so cute. But I also agree with her words, I won't fall in love easily...

……

I thought that after this incident, I would not have any intersection with the Holy Division......
