Fujii Itsuki quickly turned around to see what happened.
Looking towards the competition venue, I saw that the bamboo sword in Yang Kui Chitose's hand had turned into pieces, and in front of her lay a 1.8-meter-tall boy wearing armor.
Qiansui was a little confused, this was obviously beyond her expectations.
"Hatta-kun! Yata-san!"
"teacher?!"
"Are you okay?"
The students from the kendo club gathered around. The kendo club's instructor, who was also the referee, anxiously pulled off Hatta Takehei's mask and placed his finger on the edge of his nose.
"Fortunately, he was breathing, but he fainted."
After hearing what the instructor said, the students in the Kendo Club surrounding the tall guy breathed a sigh of relief.
Someone looked at Chitose Hinami who was still wearing a helmet:
".what happened?"
"I don't know, I just waved it casually, I didn't expect the senior to be so weak."
"."
The other students in the Kendo Club saw the debris on the ground and fell silent.
".Just a casual wave?" The referee looked over.
"Yeah. Didn't Hatta-senpai hit the face at the beginning? I think this is very impressive. When he hits the face in the second round, I hit him in the face as well."
Is Hatta weak?
Now it wasn't just the students in the Kendo Club who were silent.
Even the referee, and some of his classmates who knew him at school, fell silent.
Later in the afternoon, Fujii Itsuki and Yang Kui Chitose took the same bus back.
"Chitose, what happened this afternoon? This can be considered a safety accident."
"I'm sorry, Brother Tree"
"You should apologize to Sister Muzi. When the principal heard that you knocked someone out, he called the Kendo Club's instructor and Muzi to his office to give them a lecture."
"I... I really didn't expect it. I just held the bamboo sword with both hands and swung it, and then it broke."
Chitose Yangkui kept her head down the whole time.
Chitose would never lie to himself.
She said that, so it must have been her fault.
"Brother Shu, am I not suitable for this kind of exercise that requires strength?"
Fujii Itsuki quickly reached out to comfort her, "It's okay, it's not a big problem. Senior Hatta will wake up in half an hour."
"Oh, then I'll go and say sorry to him later!"
"Don't go. Self-esteem is the most important thing for people who participate in kendo competitions. If the senior knew that he was knocked unconscious by your sword, and you ran over to apologize to him, he would be so angry that he would die."
"Brother Shu, I feel like I'm stronger than before."
"Don't you think about how old you are? You must still be growing."
"I see. Thank you, Brother Shu. How about I withdraw from the kendo competition? This is better. Besides, I only participated for fun anyway."
"Why quit? Didn't you say you've become stronger? Practice more and you'll be able to control your strength better."
“That’s right.”
Chitose Yangkui looked at her hands.
Fujii Itsuki was holding the bus hanging ring and noticed her looking down at her hands. "What's on your mind?"
“Brother Shu, after I recovered from my illness, I seem to have always had great strength.”
"dislike?"
". I don't like it very much. Many classmates think I'm a weirdo after noticing it. Although some people simply praise me for my ability to move things, some people who don't like me will still talk about me behind my back."
Gossip.
This kind of thing is common in society.
Fujii Itsuki placed his hand on Chitose Haruki's shoulder.
"Brother Tree?"
Yang Kui Chitose looked at him. He was facing the car window, against the light of the setting sun.
"Qian Sui, in one's life, no one can be completely free from being disliked. Many times, even if you are kind enough to help others, others will think you are being hypocritical.
"So, why bother about what others say? It's nice to receive praise, but it's also normal to receive opposition. What we need to do is to distinguish some opposing words, absorb the reasonable ones as lessons, and discard the unreasonable ones as idiotic remarks."
"But... But after hearing people gossip about me, I feel that everyone hates me and I still feel unhappy. What should I do?"
Fujii Itsuki laughed, "Chitose, didn't you say yourself that you have people who support you?"
".Wouldn't that make me look vulnerable?"
"It's very fragile, but you have to know that your heart is so sensitive. Some people are very strong and simply ignore what others say and just be themselves.
"Qi Sui, you can admire that kind of person, but you have to understand that it is him, not you. You have to learn to accept yourself and your own fragility. There is nothing wrong with trying to rely on others when you are unhappy. It is actually a channel for you to relieve your emotions. Moreover, maybe the person who supports you is willing to help you?"
“Brother Tree——!”
"Look at you, Chitose. Your eyes are filled with admiration."
"Then, then let's do as Brother Shu said! Should Chitose also try to accept that he is strong, and that this is actually a good thing?"
"Who says it's not?"
Yang Kui Chitose's eyes twinkled, and she hugged him without caring whether there were other people on the bus.
“Brother Tree——!”
"Alright, alright. But now that you're stronger, Chitose, you have to learn to control it, right? Otherwise, you'll hurt someone unintentionally like today."
"Yeah! Brother Shu is right!"
"Also, even if you are strong, you must never hurt the people around you."
"Yeah! Got it!"
".Hmm? Why are you looking at me like that, Chitose?"
"Chitose, Chitose, I just feel that Brother Shu is still as great as before! He can say such philosophical words!"
Fujii Itsuki smiled.
great?
Is it great?
Fujii Itsuki didn't think so. It was just common sense and experience gained as a grown-up.
But perhaps, for Qiansui, for this little girl whom he had been nurturing and raising, this was indeed a kind of greatness that came from an adult?
"I think Chitose can feel that way, but you need to dispel this notion as soon as possible."
"why?"
"Because it would make the relationship between us unequal."
"Isn't it good to worship Brother Tree?"
"Not great, I'm not perfect."
"Brother Shu is perfect in Qiansui's eyes!"
In response to the girl's answer, Fujii Itsuki could only smile.
The two got out of the car, and on the street, the setting sun made their shadows longer and longer.
"That's right! Except..."
"Except what?"
"Brother Shu is a little bit lustful~"
“That’s called manliness.”
"Brother Shu is making excuses for himself. But if Brother Shu shows Chitose a look, Chitose will show Brother Shu a look in return!"
"What are you looking at?"
"That's... That's what Brother Shu wants to see! A girl's... Ahem!"
Yang Kui Qiansui deliberately straightened her back, and asked with a smile like an elf, "Brother Shu is almost thirty years old, you must not have seen it yet!"
". Chitose——"
"Brother Shu, please promise me. Promise me. Let me see it again!"
Fujii Itsuki was full of black lines, "How should we see this?"
"Just put your pants down—"
"no."
Yang Kui Chitose pouted, put her hands behind her back, and kicked the stones on the road, "Brother Shu is too serious!"
"Chitose is about the same."
"Where can I find it?"
"Until now, you have only dared to hold my hand. Even if I showed it to you, you wouldn't dare to do it. You would definitely run away, right?"
"This"
Yang Kui Chitose blushed all of a sudden and held her hands up in embarrassment, "This is a normal relationship, okay!"
"okokokok."
Fujii Itsuki just nodded without refutation.
