Chapter 114 – Different Dreams
@@
What did you hear right now?
Did I hear you right?
“A wish…?”
“Yes. It’s a wish. Getting points from the manager means you did well.”
It was Matsuda himself who said he wanted to engage in sparring, but he put a condition on it.
Are you reflecting properly? I’m full of spirits.
Besides, what’s with that shy expression…
“I’m serious?”
“Or just do it. Shall we prepare right now?”
“Under…”
A spoiled brat who doesn’t seem serious about kendo.
However, it is a wild horse with great potential that shows the ability to become a great master.
Today’s Matsuda looked like this.
Have you ever had a member with such a strong personality?
I’ve never seen him in the academy, not even in middle school or high school.
It seems that there is an error for no reason.
“I try to approach the manager in my own way, but the manager still wears colored glasses.”
At Matsuda’s sudden words, Lenka frowned at her.
“Tinted glasses… I can’t say that your behavior was good, even if I say it well.”
“Did you mention your wish?”
“That’s it, but the violent side he showed Miura…! That’s the biggest Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“I am reflecting.”
“Doesn’t it look like that at all to me?”
“That’s because the person in front of me is the manager.”
“What are you talking about again?”
“You can see that you hate me, and you act like you don’t like what I do. Anyone who comes out like that is bound to be crooked.”
Matsuda’s tone is a little heated.
She looks like she is about to burst what has accumulated.
Thinking that she should keep an eye on her a bit more, she crossed her arms, and Matsuda continued her words.
“We obviously didn’t sew the first button well, did we? It was a little out of sync at the very beginning, but when I bowed while cleaning the school gate to fill the volunteer hours, they encouraged me to do just that in the future. Do you remember?”
“Yeah, I remember.”
“I also remember the day we ran into each other when we went to buy a figure. At that time, the manager even laughed at my joke.”
“Right. I’m also grateful that you gave me a ride home then.”
“But everything went wrong after that, right? The exact time is probably… Sparring with a comrade, after that time.”
After hearing it, it’s clear… Since then, things have started to go awry.
Like a discordant cogwheel.
Of course, it was precarious before then, but it was only after the friendly couples ended that the conflict deepened in earnest.
Hitting the other side of the motive is an act of belittling the opponent.
Lenka She is a martial art called kendo that she loves very much.
She was angry at Matsuda for not respecting this, and after the sparring, she called him and gave him a hard tone of admonition.
Matsuda also showed a disrespectful attitude, refusing to listen.
‘Is it because of pride…?’
Matsuda’s ego is strong. It’s as if high-skilled athletes have their own reference points.
And it was the same for himself.
As for Matsuda, he probably didn’t want to back down from himself who was cold all the time.
She didn’t want to say anything nice to Matsuda, who also messed with her.
As this continued, and watching Matsuda stray from time to time, emotions piled up, and it seemed that this time it exploded.
“Since joining the kendo club, I haven’t had any accidents and have been calm, but the manager always didn’t like me. Because the image of a bully is embedded in it.”
“That’s true, but if you respected your opponent even a little bit in that sparring, it would have been different. If I had apologized on the spot, it wouldn’t have ended like this. And do you remember what you said then?”
“Which one?”
“When your classmate got hit on the sidelines, the director said it wasn’t a grid area. You answered that you know. And when I asked what it was like to hit the side of the screen, what did you say? Didn’t you say it’s not a foul play, and it’s also free sparring? Doesn’t this mean you knew the blow was ill-mannered?”
“I didn’t know it was such an unwritten rule.”
“Was it a misunderstanding?”
“Yes.”
Lenka’s voice rose slightly.
“Then you should have told me beforehand… If you said you didn’t know manners in the first place, you would have told me to be more careful next time and it would have ended well.”
“In the first place? If that’s the case, shouldn’t she first ask the question if she didn’t know in the first place?”
“I answered like that, like I knew, but who would think I didn’t know?”
Aside from the context and arguments over right and wrong, there is no sign that the relationship will improve because of endlessly biting each other’s tail like this, and being stubborn and stubborn.
In this case, someone has to give in or back down.
However, neither Matsuda nor himself had any intention of doing so.
After the goodwill match, when Matsuda heard Chinami sigh, seeing his calm reaction, he briefly wondered if his method was wrong.
It is true that she is getting better under Chinami’s guidance, and it is also true that she viewed Matsuda from a narrow perspective.
As the captain of the kendo club, I think it’s right to take a step back, but…
If that was the case with someone with a strong ego like Matsuda, there was a chance she would become more careless.
To be honest, as a human versus human being, I don’t want to lose this match that has become a battle of pride.
I didn’t care if others thought I was childish.
I really wanted to tame it. That wild horse
So what should I do?
Lenka, who had been suffering from pain in her bones, glared at a certain thought passing through her head.
‘It’s a wish…’
Perhaps through Matsuda’s proposal, this broken relationship could be resolved.
For example, if you set a condition yourself, and if it’s met, you’ll follow your words unconditionally…
Spending 2 hours a day learning things about kendo…
Something like this
Due to Matsuda’s personality, which doesn’t make excuses, he will follow without a word if he loses.
If so, wouldn’t it be possible to guide him in this way?
There is compulsion, but isn’t that the way all wishes are originally made?
As time goes on, Matsuda will also get used to it.
The only worrying thing is that I don’t know what kind of wish Matsuda will make.
I was anxious. Because she mentions a wish out of the blue.
Of course, if I don’t lose, I’m confident that I’ll win, but…
Considering the sharp instincts Matsuda displayed during her sparring with herself, and the fact that her skills have improved through her training, it’s not a bad idea to put her safety gear on.
“Let’s talk about this topic so far and get to the main point. What do you want to wish for?”
“I don’t know.”
“Why do not you know? I don’t think I said it out of anger, but I don’t think I had anything in mind. You’re not going to suggest something just… Strange, are you?”
“Anything strange?”
“…..”
When Lenka, who couldn’t bring herself to speak, shut her mouth tightly, Matsuda burst out with an ahh, and she asked.
“You’re not thinking sexually, are you?”
At that straight-forward question, Lenka’s face turned red.
Seeing her face like that, Matsuda shook her head in amazement.
Lenka, stinging for no reason, answered quickly.
“I-I’ve never even thought of it sexually…! Don’t overlook it…!”
“Then I’m glad. Not like that anyway.”
The serious atmosphere is strangely relieved.
Why? We only had a few conversations?
It’s ridiculous.
Said Lenka, who controlled her emotions by closing and opening her eyes tightly.
“I have to make a condition, too.”
“Condition? What is your wish?”
“Okay. It’s a bet on each other’s wishes. Considering the difference in skill, if you get 1 point and I get 10 points, let’s each grant the wishes we want. A total of 30 editions. When the sparring is over, I’ll just throw away the 1st place in the score I won. What do you think?”
“Ten points?”
“Yes. Don’t you think it’s okay?”
“… The referee? Are you Nanase-senpai?”
“It’s me. I am confident that I can see it accurately as much as I am dealing with you.”
“Yes…? The manager sees…?”
Matsuda opened her mouth slightly.
Lenka let out a dejected laugh, as if she understood his feelings.
“I said it was a map battle, but honestly, I see it as a battle of emotions. Aren’t you ashamed to tell anyone?”
“… Well, that’s right.”
“I promise to judge fairly. If you have any doubts about the judgement, let’s get a new judge then.”
“No, I have no complaints. I do.”
“Great. How about 10:00 tonight?”
“Good.”
The conversation came and went so quickly that it could be called anger.
Anyway, because we wanted each other…
Anyway, why the hell did Matsuda overdo it with Miura?
Weren’t you two close friends?
I knew that Matsuda would take her home too, and I knew that the three of her, including Hanazawa, were close…
What did you quarrel about yesterday?
There wasn’t much to watch the two of them, but if you think about it, Miura has never called Matsuda her friend.
It’s like calling each other by last name… I think the relationship between the two is a bit ambiguous.
Whatever it is, it’s not what’s important.
The first thing to do is to prepare for the Dalian at night.
Dispelling her thoughts, Lenka opened the training room door.
“Shall we go in and train? She originally intended to roll hard, but sparring doesn’t work if the body gets tired, so let’s do it in moderation.”
“Yes.”
**
From the moment I mentioned my wish, I expected that Lenka would bet her.
But she didn’t expect it to be this way.
At least she knew how to compromise. Like a best-of-five, best-of-7 sort of thing.
But I’m going to set the fire back…
It means that you are confident in your skills, but aren’t you worried about me? It’s like Lenka.
Besides, it’s the 30th edition. Considering that the previous match was a best-of-three match, it would take an enormous amount of time.
It’s a very long game, and it’s a game that requires a lot of concentration.
It was a bit out of sync at first, but it worked out the way I wanted it to.
I have to score points somehow.
Confirming that the appointment time was running out, I got up from my seat and put on my coat.
Glancing at Tetsuya, he was only fiddling with his phone.
Since the sparring ended, his talking has definitely decreased, but it’s nice that he’s a little quieter now.
Out of consideration for your despair, I will forgive you for snoring today.
I put my uniform inside my coat and said as I walked past him.
“I am going for a walk.”
“Go again? Have a good trip.”
“Okay.”
After an awkward conversation, I went outside and headed to the training room a little away from the mountain cabin.
The lights are on, but Lenka must have arrived first.
After confirming that there was no one nearby, I opened the door and went in, and found Lenka in a uniform stretching.
Stretching out her long limbs and warming her body, she found me and approached me.
“Change and stretch.”
“Yes.”
“Wait a minute… Before that, I have something to ask you. What is the permissible range of wishes?”
Why are you acting so delicately?
His eyes are bright… It’s unexpected.
“Listen to everything except that sexual thing.”
At the mention of a minor incident in the afternoon, Lenka flinched and cleared her throat.
“…. Great.”
“There is no way to offset a wish with a wish.”
“I agree with that too.”
“Yes. That’s it.”
Lenka said nothing more and focused on warming up her body.
Laughing at her secret picks, I went into the dressing room and started undressing her.
From now on, it is time to solve the accumulated misunderstandings by having fun.
No, it’s right to say that it’s time to germinate the seeds of conspiracies I’ve sown.
You have to show everything
I want to get about 5 points, but since Lenka, who is called a genius, is my opponent, let’s try to get the maximum of 3 points.
