“Everyone, physical fitness test today, go to the locker room to change into your gym uniforms, get moving now!”
Tōsu Ma-yu tapped on the blackboard, announcing the physical fitness test.
“Kazemura, let’s go together.”
A voice came from beside her.
Yuki-ma Yumi looked towards the source of the sound.
It was a beautiful girl with long red hair.
What was her name again?
Oh, it should be
“Um! Kido, I'm coming!”
Eriri responded, a little flustered.
After all, she had just been sulking at Yuki-ma Yumi, and her puffed-up face looked like she was pouting.
Gathering her things.
Eriri gave Yuki-ma Yumi a ‘hmph’.
It was like a little kitten’s defiance.
Then she ran quickly towards Kido Ikude.
Yuki-ma Yumi watched this scene, thoughtfully.
Eriri made a friend.
“Yuki-ma, you’re looking at her like ‘That kid grew up under my watch,’ it's a strange expression.”
Kato Megumi's lighthearted teasing came from behind.
Yuki-ma Yumi, who was the target of the teasing, couldn’t help but smile.
“Yeah, that kid grew up under my watch, she can finally make friends on her own.”
It would have been strange if Eriri still couldn’t make friends by now.
Yuki-ma Yumi would be very troubled.
He had been guiding Eriri’s social skills since elementary school.
Although it was interrupted for a while during junior high.
But she should be making some progress.
Kato Megumi nodded thoughtfully as she listened to Yuki-ma Yumi.
When she came to her senses.
She saw Yuki-ma Yumi's hand outstretched towards her.
“Let’s go, together.”
Kato Megumi instinctively put her hand on his.
She realized what was happening only after being pulled up.
“What do you mean together? The fitness test is separated by gender, are you planning to sneak into the girls’ locker room to peek, Yuki-ma?”
Yuki-ma Yumi released Kato Megumi's hand after pulling her up, and flicked her forehead lightly.
“What are you rambling about, you should know what I mean.”
Kato Megumi certainly knew what Yuki-ma Yumi meant.
But even Kato, who was like a blooming acacia, had her moments of awkwardness.
The physical fitness test began.
Apart from the usual height, weight, chest measurements, etc.
The rest was physical fitness testing.
“Boys go for sit-ups, girls go for sit-and-reach, then switch, two people in a group, record each other’s scores!”
The physical fitness test teacher announced.
Kato Megumi sat on the mat, feeling troubled.
No one was forming a team with her.
The teacher simply ignored her.
The usual practice is to test yourself and fill in a number on the form that is roughly correct.
No one would really investigate it afterwards.
But...
Kato Megumi waited quietly.
Less than two minutes later, footsteps approached quickly.
“Kato, let’s start, I'll read the numbers for you.”
Yuki-ma Yumi said.
When Kato Megumi heard this, she lowered her body, reaching forward with her arms, more importantly, covering the expression on her face.
Yuki-ma Yumi recorded the data on Kato Megumi’s physical fitness test form.
When Kato Megumi got up, Yuki-ma Yumi handed her his form.
“I’ll quickly finish mine while no one is paying attention, so I can help you stretch later.”
Yuki-ma Yumi said.
Kato Megumi nodded.
Her cheeks were a little flushed, perhaps because of the previous movements.
Taking the physical fitness test form.
Kato Megumi’s gaze unconsciously scanned the data on it.
“So...he's this tall? And the sit-up count...ninety...that’s incredible.”
There was a great deal of admiration in her acacia eyes.
On the other side.
“Where did that guy go?”
Eriri looked towards the boys’ side and couldn’t find him on the mat after a long time.
“Kazemura, what’s wrong?”
Kido Ikude asked curiously.
When asked, Eriri quickly shook her head.
“Nothing, nothing...I just found a lazy exercise dummy!”
She sat on the mat and started the sit-and-reach test.
She wanted to be a dazzling young lady in school.
She couldn’t be like a certain guy, listless and running away from the physical fitness test as soon as it started.
In Eriri’s impression, Yuki-ma Yumi was a sports klutz just like her.
It was normal for him to escape the fitness test.
“You’re talking about Yuki-ma, right, Kazemura?” Kido asked curiously, recording the data.
Eriri nodded.
Kido blinked.
Yuki-ma was a sports klutz?
When she came over, she saw Yuki-ma doing sit-ups, so fast they were a blur.
He didn’t look like he couldn’t exercise at all.
It felt like there was something...subtle between Kazemura and Yuki-ma.
After sit-ups, there were repeated horizontal jumps, standing long jump, handball throws, fifty-meter sprint.
And the physical fitness test disaster, the one thousand meter run for boys and the eight hundred meter run for girls.
Eriri tried her best to achieve good scores.
In Sakura Nation’s schools, it was not just about grades; athletic ability, clubs, etc. were all important criteria for evaluating a person.
Being labeled a sports klutz.
Social interactions would inevitably be filled with teasing.
Eriri went all out for her image in school.
She even exercised during spring break.
Well, it was more like three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.
“Kido, seven point nine three.”
“Kazemura, eight point three zero.”
“Take a break and go to the starting line to wait.”
After running her hardest, Eriri leaned on her knees, gasping for breath.
Her golden twintails swayed back and forth with the rhythm of her breathing.
“You’ve worked hard, Kazemura, want some water?”
Kido Ikude brought two unopened bottles of mineral water.
Eriri was speechless right now, she shook her head slightly to refuse.
She was completely relying on willpower right now.
She felt like if she drank water and rested, she wouldn’t want to move anymore.
After catching her breath.
The two of them walked to the starting line together.
With the whistle blowing, Eriri followed the crowd, lining up in a row, and began to run.
“At least...at least I have to stay with the group...”
Eriri thought to herself.
