"Didn't expect the checkpoint to be set up in the park."
"Probably just for convenience. This place recently hosted a marathon, and Shuchiin only took over about a quarter of that course."
Shinomiya Kaguya looked toward the row of tables, chairs, and tents already set up ahead.
At that ti, the teachers would be sitting there handing out sports drinks for the students to rehydrate.
The entire marathon course was 42 kiloters long. When Athens defeated Persia, the commanding general, wanting the people back ho to hear the good news as soon as possible, sent a soldier known for his incredible speed to deliver the ssage — that distance was exactly 42 kiloters.
To commorate that event, the Olympic Gas later added a similar category — and that's the origin of the marathon.
Incidentally, that soldier died in the end.
Cause of death: exhaustion.
To commorate a man's death, everyone decided to imitate him by running… This sport really is a kind of performance art.
"No wonder they chose this timing. Probably because the marathon stuff hasn't been fully cleared out yet, so Shuchiin just took over to save the hassle."
As Sakurai Saki spoke, he glanced to the side — during their conversation, Fujiwara Chika had already plopped down on a bench.
They hadn't even been walking for an hour, and she was already this tired. Could she really finish the entire course?
"This ti they said all students are required to participate?"
"Of course not. Anyone who doesn't want to run can ask the teacher for permission. But with those guys' pride, I doubt any of them would actually skip it."
Shinomiya Kaguya recalled the discussion in class.
So of the girls wanted to opt out, but every single guy said he'd take part.
"Such pointless pride. If it were , I'd quit the mont I couldn't keep up."
"Hmph." — Shinomiya Kaguya gave a mocking smile, clearly unconvinced.
A man's mouth — all lies!
"There are things girls can lose in, but guys absolutely can't."
As Sakurai Saki spoke, his eyes briefly flicked toward Shinomiya Kaguya's chest before quickly darting away.
That motion was imdiately caught by Shinomiya Kaguya.
She covered her chest with her hands, angrily saying, "What are you looking at?"
(｡•̀ ⤙ •́ ｡ꐦ) !!!
"Girls don't have it easy in this world either." — he comnted thoughtfully.
At that mont, Shinomiya Kaguya really wanted to punch him, but since there were too many people around, she held herself back.
A few won were gathered nearby, chatting while taking their children out to play during Golden Week.
Their voices were loud enough for both of them to hear.
"Why did that little couple suddenly start arguing?"
"That's what happens when the honeymoon phase ends. Break up, make up again — back when I was in school, I knew a bunch of couples who fell apart during that so-called 'compatibility trial.'"
"Tch, could those two be rookies from so entertainnt agency? Their looks are just absurds."
Hearing her appearance described as "absurd," Shinomiya Kaguya tucked a few loose strands of hair behind her ear and said awkwardly,
"Let's not make ourselves a laughingstock anymore."
(⸝⸝⸝╸▵╺⸝⸝⸝)
Her expression was so adorably bashful that Sakurai Saki couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"What's so funny? Stop laughing!" — Shinomiya Kaguya hurriedly reached out and covered his mouth.
Sakurai Saki didn't respond, rely removed her hand gently, then turned toward Fujiwara Chika and asked,
"Chika, are you done resting?"
Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly rembered that Fujiwara Chika was still right beside them.
'Damn it, I completely slipped into our own little world just now!'
She turned her head toward Fujiwara Chika and found that the girl seed utterly oblivious to the ambiguous exchange between her and Sakurai Saki — Kaguya quietly sighed in relief.
If Secretary Fujiwara were to discover the ambiguous relationship between her and Sakurai, things would get completely out of hand!
"When the stork and the clam fight, the fisherman profits."
I absolutely cannot let myself get dragged into the battlefield between Hayasaka and Secretary Fujiwara...
Shinomiya Kaguya understood very well the principle of "enduring and waiting for the right mont."
Of course, she didn't hide her "secret" interactions with Sakurai Saki — every move she made was known to Hayasaka!
"Could it be that Hayasaka actually has an NTR'ed fetish?"
Otherwise, why would she allow to get this close to Sakurai?
Hmm… it seems I've just realized sothing rather off.
...
At the sa ti.
In Sakurai Saki's rented apartnt.
"Achoo~"
