"Of course, I would love to compete on the ice rink with players from all over the country and even from all over the world."

In this question, Miki Baiyu didn't need to hesitate and hesitate, and blurted out the hope in his heart.

"But what's the use, now I can't compete with my former opponents at all...... I couldn't even stand on the same stage with them. ”

may be sitting in his arms, very reassuring and warm, like walking into a safe haven, the bitterness and grievances in Miki Baiyu's heart can't stop springing out, and the tears in the corners of his eyes are thick.

】

She really worked hard, but the existence of a leg injury made it impossible for her to train as hard as before.

She really wants to face one difficult move after another like before, overcome and master it through non-stop practice, and finally present it on the stage for the audience to cheer for her.

She had set foot on the top of a mountain and seen an unparalleled view, the most beautiful view in the world...... But she knows better than anyone how difficult the climb can be.

Every contestant has paid unimaginable effort and sweat to stand on the stage at the highest level.

"As long as you want, it works."

Seeing her loneliness and grievances turn into words, Hikaru Kurosawa's left hand gently cocked her fingertips, supported her palm, and pillowed on her thigh.

He could feel that Miki Hakuha's trough of twilight, which was buried by strength and love, broke through the ground.

He could imagine that after Miki Baiyu retired due to injury, in the dead of night, he was secretly sad.

"Uh-huh."

Miki Hakuha felt his movements, looked down at the hand he was holding in the palm of his hand, raised his right hand and wiped his tears, not wanting to cry in front of him.

This was her second date with her senior, and she didn't want to be ruined by this kind of sadness.

In fact, she knows that there are many things in this world, and it is useless to just think about them.

To miss it is to miss it...... She failed to attempt a quadruple jump because she wanted to be completely ahead of her peers, and she was already left with an irreversible old disease.

After a few years of full recuperation, she is indeed back on the ice, but she is no longer able to train as intensely as a pro.

It is precisely because of this that she understands a truth, that is, cherish the present and seize the opportunity.

"Do you want to be on the same stage as players from all over the world, or do you want to stand on the ice and have the audience cheer for you?"

Seeing that she stopped her tears, Hikaru Kurosawa asked again before she could finish her words.

"I think I'll go back someday."

Finding that he hadn't stopped there, Miki Hakuha cheered up, turned his head to look at him, and waved his free right hand with a clenched fist, looking full of energy, indicating that he was fine.

"Okay, I'll help you get back to the ring."

In this regard, Hikaru Kurosawa nodded heavily as if he had made up his mind.

"Help me?"

Miki White Feather looked at him with some confusion.

What does that mean? Wasn't the senior comforting her just now?

"Bai Yu, do you want to practice pairs figure skating with me?"

Facing her puzzled gaze, Hikaru Kurosawa smiled and asked.

“？”

Miki Hakuha's eyes widened, and he tilted his head to look at him, stunned by this proposal.

"Although I massage you and then you soak your feet, you can relax your legs, stay on the ice longer, practice longer. But to be honest, because you've had a leg injury and you've had a few years of gap, it's hard to win the title. ”

Seeing that she hadn't reacted yet, Hikaru Kurosawa simply spread out the words and made it clear.

No matter what kind of field you are, it is very difficult to be the first.

Even if Bai Yu's leg injury can be completely healed, it will be difficult to win the championship again, because she has a gap period of several years, and in such a long time, because she has to recuperate, there is no way to maintain her competitive state.

What's more, there is no way to recover from her leg injury.

"I know."

The cruel truth was broken, Miki Baiyu's expression froze, and he lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

She once fantasized that she would recover from her injury for a few years, come back again, and kill all sides in the game, dominating the whole field.

But in fact, after she was admitted to university, no matter how she practiced, her level was not as good as before.

Although her mother promised her that as long as she was admitted to a good university, she would let her skate again...... But I also decided that her competitive level was absolutely not good, and I was unwilling to serve as her coach.

Now, when she is training, she wants to find out where there is a problem with her movements, which needs to be improved, and she also needs to buy a DSLR to record it.

Without a coach, a gap period, an old injury, let alone winning the championship, it is difficult to even get a good ranking.

"So come with me and I'll help you win."

Hikaru Kurosawa broke through the matter and invited again.

"Senior, the difficulty of winning the championship in pairs figure skating is about the same as that of singles, if not more difficult. Because pairs skating is about tacit understanding and cooperation, you need a good partner. Skaters who have achieved good results in pairs skating have usually practiced together since childhood. ”

Miki Baiyu didn't understand why he came to such a conclusion, and after being stunned, he explained to him.

Seniors don't think it's easy to win the pairs championship?

"I know, but I also know that pairs skating isn't as demanding on a single jump and puts less load on your knees."

Hikaru Kurosawa nodded slightly, naturally understanding this.

"Now that you know, you still ......"

Miki White Feather looked at him, wanting to speak again.

To be honest, she was a little angry, because what the senior said was too underestimating figure skating.

It's just that she couldn't get angry when she saw the senior's handsome face.

He must have a reason for saying that, right?

"Would you like to give it a try? Skate with me in pairs. ”

Hikaru Kurosawa found that she didn't believe it, and instead of arguing with her, he asked.

He knew that his figure skating level in Bai Yu's eyes was not high, after all, his figure skating moves were all taught by her.

However, he has absolute confidence in his skating skills.

With two entry-level skills, ice skating and ballet, he can turn himself into a figure skater in a short period of time if he wants to.

This is still a beginner's situation, and if his skills are upgraded and he reaches the mastery level in both places, he is confident that he will win even the figure skating single world championship.

Because the mastery-level skills are equivalent to the level that a genius can achieve after a lifetime of hard work.

As long as he can get proficient skating skills, he is sure that he will win the championship with Miki Hakuha.

"Okay."

Although Miki Hakuha felt that his proposal was very unrealistic, she thought of the picture of walking on the ice rink with her seniors and participating in the pairs skating competition, and her heart was moved.

Putting aside the slim hope of winning the title, if she practiced pairs skating together, she and her seniors would have more time and opportunities to be together.

And unlike solo skating, because if you want to cooperate tacitly, you have to practice a lot, and there will be a lot of interaction between them.

You know, there will be a lot of physical contact during the tandem skating.

As she imagined, the voice of the system sounded in Kurosawa's ears:

"New mission."

Immediately after, one after another appeared in front of his eyes.

Dating Mission: [Dream Trip with Miki Hakuha]

Objective: [Meet on the ice] [Dance with her on the ice rink, dance moves synchronized to 90%] [Make her feel like the happiest person in the world]

Duration of assignment: one month.

Mission Funds: Entry-level Skating, Entry-Level Ballet (Experience Card)

Rewards: Entry-level Skating, Entry-Level Ballet (Permanent)

"Sure enough, her most desired date location is still on the ice rink."

Seeing the appearance of the mission, Hikaru Kurosawa was a little surprised, and was quickly relieved.

When he made up his mind to spend time with Bai Yu to figure skate, he actually expected that it would most likely trigger the dating task.

To his surprise, the reward was exactly the same as the first date.

But it's normal to think about it, Miki Hakuha's preferences are too clear, that is, figure skating, also known as ice ballet.

Maybe she likes the piano and all sorts of things, but there's absolutely nothing that can surpass figure skating.

If there is anything better in this world than single figure skating for Miki Hakuha, it is only double figure skating.

"Hopefully it will help her win the championship."

After confirming the reward of the task, Hikaru Kurosawa raised his eyes and looked at Miki Hakuha's beautiful face, and he was very moved.

It may be that as a man, he has an instinctive rejection of sissy dance like ballet, and he is not very interested in figure skating.

Even if he went to the ice rink with Miki Hakuha before and spent a good time, he still had the idea of having fun.

But just now when he saw Miki Hakuha's lonely appearance, his mind changed, and he wanted to see her shining again, standing on the ice rink, and making the audience cheer for her.

The world-class arena is not considered for the time being, and she will win the regional championship first, and let her make an official comeback.

"Senior, why did you come up with me to skate in pairs?"

Miki Hakuha noticed that he was looking at him, looked back at his dark and beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but ask.

"Because I want to see you laugh, not cry."

Hikaru Kurosawa held her hand and raised her right hand to help her knead her knees, and his index finger slid lightly at the corner of her eye, and said softly.

“……”

Miki Baiyu felt that his eyes were so gentle, and he said a gentle voice that seemed to melt her bones, and his heartstrings couldn't stop accelerating.

Sure enough, she really likes Kurosawa-senpai.

"The goal [to make her feel like the happiest person in the world] has been accomplished."

"That's too easy, isn't it?"

Hikaru Kurosawa couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the prompt that the task was completed.

When he saw this mission goal just now, he thought that it was quite difficult, and it should be completed on the ice rink.

"Actually, I rarely cry, I'm not a crybaby."

Sitting on his lap and leaning on his side in his arms, Miki Hakuha felt that he was really happy, and his heart was extremely sweet, but he was also a little embarrassed, and whispered.

"I know, so I don't want you to cry anymore."

Hikaru Kurosawa saw her whispering defense, thought it was cute, and touched her head with a smile.

This girl is obviously not much different from Xiao Yuki's height, but it may be that her weight is too light, or it may be because she looks relatively young, she looks like a little girl, and she is cute.

"No more crying."

In the face of such pampering, Miki Baiyu also made up his mind.
