While Yuzuru was walking home with Arisa, she said this to him.
Yes, The next day was the day when the boys will have to run 10 kilometers and the girls will have to run 7 kilometers.
And for Yuzuru, it’s also the day of his “competition” with Soichiro and Hijiri.
” Arisa …you seem like you don’t like much?”
“Yeah ….no, it’s not that I hate it.”
When Yuzuru asked, Arisa chuckled.
Some people are good at long-distance running, but you don’t often hear of people who like long-distance running.
Yuzuru doesn’t want to run either if he doesn’t have to.
Arisa felt the same way.
“There’s a difference between running for voluntary exercise and being forced to run for a school event after all…”
“That’s true… At the very least, we should be rewarded for our hard work.”
In addition, on the day of the marathon, the school will be over in half a day.
So it’s kind of a reward.
However…, if you ask whether they want to go out and have fun after running 10 kilometers, it’s a bit complicated.
Instead, one would want to relax and unwind at home.
“… A reward, huh?”
“What’s up?”
Arisa seemed to be thinking about something.
Her cheeks… appeared to be slightly blushed.
“um… tomorrow, after the marathon…”
“Yes.?”
“Is it okay if I drop by your house…?”
“Sure, that’s fine. I don’t have a part-time job tomorrow anyway.”
As for Yuzuru, he would welcome the opportunity to hang out with her.
However…, it can be assumed that his body will indeed be exhausted, so he cannot do anything intense.
“Do you mean like playing a game or something?”
“That’s not really a reward, is it?”
“Well, that’s true.”
That is what Arisa and Yuzuru always do on their days off.
It’s not that they dislike it, in fact, they enjoy it… But whether it motivates them to run long distances of ten kilometers (or seven kilometers) was not entirely certain.
“So what do you want to do?”
“It’s, well…That’s..”
After a few moments of silence, Arisa said in a quiet voice,
“A massage, maybe?”
“…Massage?”
When Yuzuru couldn’t help but ask back… Arisa’s face turned red and she began desperately trying to explain herself.
“Ah, no.., I didn’t mean it in a weird way. You know…, we did it before during the sports festival. It felt pretty good, so…”
“Ah,… that’s right, we did.”
Yuzuru also remembered what happened a while ago.
At that time, …Arisa was very lustrous.
And after remembering many dangerous things, Yuzuru forcibly erased the memory from his mind.
“And of course, I wouldn’t just make Yuzuru-san massage me. I can also… Well, I don’t know if I’m good at it, but I can at least tap your shoulder… How about that?”
“…I see.”
If you were to get a massage somewhere else, you would be charged several thousand yen for an hour.
