The sound of the soles rubbing against the plastic runway sounded monotonously and repeatedly, like a looping background sound.

Hoshikawa Aoi, who took the last baton, jumped forward like a deer, crossed the finish line like the wind, and then slowly slowed down with plenty of room until he stopped.

"Hoshikawa! Hoshikawa! ”

Someone deliberately imitated a fanatical fan, following her to the finish line in the inner circle of the playground and waving his fist in the air, causing the other three scheduled relay runners to laugh and fall back.

Hoshikawa Aoi gave him a punch.

"That's what I've been rewarded for running the whole time?"

Li Wu protested by holding his flanks.

"We are a relay race, so Li Jun only runs a quarter of the distance with me."

"Well, if only you could be so quick thinking on math exams, we would have fewer study meetings — pain, pain, I mean, so that the time saved can be spent on dates."

The wound that has not completely healed is really painful if Bang Bang takes a few more punches.

"However, Hoshikawa-san is really powerful."

The girl with the text "Athletic Girl" on her head held her knees and gasped slightly.

Even if she is in good physical condition as her name suggests, she will feel a little tired when she runs down, but on the other hand, the other party is not only as fast as a gust of wind, but also does not see fatigue at all after crossing the line.

"With your participation, we will definitely win the first place in this event, this is my judgment as a member of the track and field department."

She praised it violently, but it made Hoshikawa Aoi a little embarrassed.

"Because it's the last stick, I can explode my physical strength without any scruples, thanks to everyone's efforts in front."

"People praise you and accept it, our family Xingchuan is too modest."

Li Jun...... Does the thickness of your skin increase with the severity of your injury? ”

"It sounds very strong, like the ability of some kind of fighting race."

"It's not the combat power that is rising!"

Hoshikawa Aoi suddenly began to regret the previous act of stabbing him under the impetus of impulse, and this person obviously began to take this opportunity to start letting go of himself.

The few people who were listening on the side only regarded the injury or something as a code between the two of them, and the athletic girl who had just praised Aoi Hoshikawa turned her attention to Li Wu, who suddenly interjected: "Classmate Li Wu also signed up for the long-distance running event, why don't you practice by the way?" ”

"Wait until you finish practicing, I'm afraid I'll be lonely if I leave my girlfriend now."

"Who do you say will be lonely!"

Hoshikawa Aoi couldn't bear to chase after him, and Li Wu turned around and ran.

The two kicked up a small amount of smoke on the long circular track, and then gradually left the track and field members in the training camp behind.

The leading boy was stunned to see that he was being surpassed continuously, and his steps couldn't help but slow down, and asked the friends who were running around him: "What is the origin of those two people?" A super runner hidden among the average student? ”

The latter touched his chin quite storyfully and replied in a deep voice: "It seems that being chased by a rampaging girlfriend is just as much as being chased by a ferocious Nile crocodile to stimulate the potential of the human body itself." ”

"Yes, is that so?"

Putting aside the fact that there was an additional method of devil training in the track and field department due to the butterfly effect, Aoi Hoshikawa, who had forgotten his original motive and turned to capture Li Wu, finally caught him when he returned to his original position.

"I won!"

She raised her hands in joy and cheered.

Li Wu decided not to remind her what she was chasing him for.

"Maybe the champion of long-distance running will be in the bag."

Ryoko Aoki jokingly patted the athletic girl's shoulder, she naturally wouldn't be surprised by the excellent physical fitness of these two people, but the latter looked at it with respect: "When I saw the scene just now, I realized that they must have been working on each other's practice to achieve their current results." ”

"No, you don't understand at all."

After gaining the respect and prestige of his classmates for strange reasons, Li Wu watched them practice a few more times, until the sun was falling and it was time for school to disband.

"Back to the activity room? Hikari posted a message in the line group before saying that she and Shiratori-san are also practicing some projects, and there will be no club meeting today. ”

At this point in time, the others are either already home or still doing club activities, and only the footsteps of two people can be heard in the hallway of the school building.

Hoshikawa Aoi, who hadn't changed out of her sportswear yet, put on the jacket of her autumn uniform outside, and instead of honestly tucking her arms into her sleeves, she let them hang down from her shoulders and sway to the rhythm of walking, making people want to reach out and grab this existence like a small tail.

"Let's go for a while, I'm too lazy to go back to the locker room, just change my clothes there and go back."

When you turn into the club building, you can see the vending machine at the staircase on the left-hand side emitting a glimmer of light.

Hoshikawa Aoi stopped, opened the cabinet door, took out a can of steaming peanut milk from it and threw it at Li Wu.

"I'd rather drink carbonated drinks."

"This is healthier, isn't it?"

Saying this, she took herself a can of Coke, and then was snatched away by Li Wu.

"Are you a child?!"

"People with the wrong mouth are more like children, and this is already my trophy!"

Li Wu ripped open the pull ring, smiled like a qualified villain, and drank the cool liquid rich in carbon dioxide.

Hoshikawa glared at him angrily for a moment, then suddenly came up and bit the edge of the can, and took a big sip as well.

"Hey, indirect kissing."

"What are you going to say so far?"

"I'm afraid that someone will react, 'I don't want to drink the same can of drink as you.'"

Someone kicked him in the shin, and Li Wu, who had expected it, flashed over.

Perhaps because the evening practice did not cause much physical burden, but it also gave people the illusion that they had done a lot of things, so at this moment the two of them finally quieted down, leaned on the edge of the vending machine and drank their respective drinks, and then threw the empty cans into the trash.

Autumn is slightly cool, and the evening breeze blows into the corridor on the first floor, lifting the girl's sideburns.

To be honest, Li Wu now has the confidence to call himself an expert in the physiology of half magical girls, for example, he knows that although their physical strength is far beyond ordinary people in their untransformed state, there will be no more specific organs or tissue structures.

Therefore, even Hoshikawa Aoi will secrete fluid from the sweat glands after exercise.

For example, the thin layer of sweat oozing from the neck, and the beads of sweat that have dried up on the calf under the shorts...... The scent of shower gel is mixed with the wind and enters the nose.

"What are you looking at?"

Hoshikawa Aoi lowered her head along the other party's gaze, a little nervous.

"Legs."

Li Wu told the truth.

"Don't look at it!"

"Just look at it, not only look at it, but no one else is allowed to see it."

He made a sad and indignant statement, "Obviously, I just took the initiative to bring it up for me to see, and I didn't just look at it......"

Hoshikawa Aoi covered the guy's mouth to avoid saying anything that would trigger the urge to hit someone.

"It doesn't have to be like this."

She let go of her hand with a complicated expression and sighed, "I know that Li Jun wants to express his determination not to deliberately alienate me, but it's fine as before, there is no need to force yourself to do things that don't look like you." ”

"Who says I'm pushing myself?"

Li Wu Zhengse said, "I warn you, Hoshikawa-san, don't slander others casually. ”

"The way two people get along with each other is not set in stone, and since you have made a request to me, I naturally have the obligation to respond...... And, do you think I hate expressing my desire for you so bluntly? ”

"Could it be that Li Jun is actually a pervert who will be excited by exposing his heart?"

Hoshikawa Aoi took a step back in horror.

"Hmph, I'm actually excited to see the reaction after teasing Hoshikawa...... No, I'm not a pervert at all! ”

In order to take revenge on this girl, Li Wu put his hand on her head and rubbed it violently, kneading the originally smooth long black hair into a shape that was messier than light.

Hoshikawa Aoi chased away the troublemaker and covered his head.

"Really...... Is it your inner thoughts? ”

"It couldn't be truer."

Li Wu assured.

She looked up, as if to confirm the authenticity of the promise.

Then, the girl took a step forward, narrowing the distance between the two to a line.

She held out her fingers and poked them across his body through her clothes.

"To be honest, it's quite weird to be poked around like this by Hoshikawa right now."

"Huh? Heart? ”

"It's closer to the chill in my heart than the heartbeat......"

Aoi Hoshikawa, whose face had cooled, moved her index finger to the location of the wound she had created, gently rubbing the fabric.

"Does it still hurt?"

Unexpectedly, this kind of question, he thought that the other party would be angry because of the nonsense just now.

"Too arrogant, you magical girl, this kind of attack doesn't hurt me at all."

"How do I remember someone with a twitching expression?"

Hoshikawa Aoi, who was a little speechless, withdrew his hand and stood next to Li Wu.

Then, an extra weight is applied to the shoulder.

Hoshikawa Aoi, like Shiratori Mayi, is a tall type, so she only needs to tilt her head slightly to lean on her boyfriend's shoulders.

The straight lead-colored hair dripped down the face, and there was a tingling sensation on the skin around the neck that had been rubbed.

Li Wu's fingers slid into the soft hair, smoothing out the split ends that he had made before.

"Why didn't you get out of the way or defend yourself? Like a fool. ”

"I don't think Hoshikawa is qualified to scold people stupid at all...... Besides, if I confessed to you, it's normal to be stabbed. ”

"You just want to use this method to inspire my guilt, and then achieve ulterior purposes!"

"Huh? Is this how Aoi is evoked a sense of guilt? That's great, my plan was accomplished. ”

Hoshikawa Aoi turned her head fiercely and glared at Li Wu in the stick reading, ripped off his neckline, and bit it on the shoulder.

"Wait a minute, you haven't got your hair cut yet!"

"Li Jun will go with his hair!"

"I'm not allowed to make a fuss about that good-looking long hair!"

"I'll cut it short when I get back."

"Stop, are you Nishio ○ new?!"

Sometimes noisy, sometimes quietly leaning together, until the sky outside the corridor gradually darkened, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the club building.

"Let's go up."

"Hmm."

Although she agreed, she still did not part.

"Someone is coming, and it's not good for us to be stuck here then."

"Just let him wait!"

Hoshikawa Aoi also has a wayward side sometimes.

When Li Wu kept this information in mind, the footsteps gradually approached, and Hoshikawa Aoi moved, probably not really wanting to make a cameo appearance as a road rage.

So, when the figure appeared from the staircase around the corner, it saw the two people who had just separated and were about to give way.

"Ah, it's Li Wu...... Hoshikawa-san, too. ”

Arisa held the badminton racket horizontally, a little overwhelmed, "Didn't you go to practice running?" ”

I didn't expect it to be an acquaintance.

"We're going back to the activity room to change clothes, and so is Arisa?"

Hoshikawa smoothed out her long hair, which was still a little messy, and looked at Arisa, who had obviously just returned from a badminton game.

She didn't change into a tracksuit, but took off her uniform jacket and tied it around her waist, which looked a bit in line with the style of a vigorous high school girl who had been semi-forced to turn into a small talk in the activity room.

"Me too, I want to go back to the activity room after practice."

She replied with a dry smile.

“……”

“……”

Silence.

"Is there nothing wrong with Arisa's side? Although singles badminton is not a cooperative competitive game. ”

Li Wu was a little worried about the other party's social problems.

"Really, it's too much, I can communicate with you a little bit now, if you keep a distance of more than ten meters."

"Electronic communication?"

"It's a face-to-face conversation! And badminton doesn't need teammates, as long as you step on the battlefield alone, and even practice can be practiced alone against the wall! A ...... alone A ...... alone Woo. ”

It's so tragic, it's really sad for those who see it, and weep for those who hear it.

"Shall we go see you play tomorrow?"

Li Wu proposed, and Hoshikawa Aoi nodded noncommittally.

“…… Won't it bother you? Like just now. ”

Arissa's eyes became hollow.

"No, I'm happier with everyone."

Under the assurance of Aoi Hoshikawa, the two agreed to see her tomorrow, and after that, Airisa's mood rose.

When the three of them walked up the stairs together, she sniffled suspiciously, and halfway through, she suddenly turned to look at Li Wu behind her.

"That!"

"What's wrong?"

Li Wu unexpectedly held on to the railing and stopped, and Hoshikawa Aoi also stopped.

The vampire girl's eyes wandered between the two, the confusion on her face growing heavier, and finally her gaze rested on Aoi Hoshikawa's blouse.

"No...... It's nothing, it's just that it really didn't bother you guys just now? ”

"No more!"

"I'm sorry I asked too much, I'm sorry ......"

Arisa smiled and fooled through, hiding her real doubts in her heart.

Why...... Will there be a taste of blood?

The aroma was familiar to her, because it was a unique taste that she had tasted several times.

Moreover, Hoshikawa-san's clothes seem to have the same smell?
