บท 159: Now I'm a girl without feelings!

　　Hearing someone call himself, Shinichi looked away from the sight and looked at the edge of the field.

Furuhashi?

　　He was about to leave the runway and run towards Furuhashi, when Yotsuba's instructions sounded in his ear.

　　"Asada-san, you can't stop no matter what until these eight rounds are over!"

　　So Shinichi kept running, nodding at Furuhashi, pointing a finger with a trembling arm, then drew a circle.

　　Furuhashi understood, and immediately sat down on the ground, putting aside her school bag, placing her hands on her knees, watching him pass.

　　About a minute later, Shinichi slowed down, and Furuhashi was about to stand up, but found that he was ignoring her.

　　It was only then that Furuhashi realized that it was impossible to switch from exercise to stillness immediately after running.

　　The sudden cessation of muscle contraction will cause a large amount of blood to flow to the heart, resulting in palpitations and hypoxia. Therefore, after running it is necessary to do some relaxing exercises to help the body transition to a normal state, as Shinichi is doing now, adjusting your breathing while walking slowly until your heart rate stabilizes.

　　Furuhashi sat back down, and watched him with encouraging eyes.

　　And Shinichi staggered, facing the morning breeze, closed his eyes and experienced an extraordinary feeling of tiredness and freshness.

　　Shuchi'in Academy's field was a standard runway of 400 meters, and he had to run eight laps, which was 3,200 meters. It doesn't matter how long he is, whether he sprints, jogs or walks, for eight laps. After running, today's "warm up" is over.

　　For these eight laps, he ran for about 23 minutes. Not to mention slow, this is already a huge improvement for a weak scholar, and he has also adjusted his running rhythm so that he has the physical strength to face the next trajectory.

　　Since receiving Yotsuba training, Shinichi has pushed his limits.

　　During a physical fitness test, he became anemic before half of four rounds of jogging. His eyes turned black and he crouched on the track for a long time before he could stand up.

　　Under the demon's training in the past few days, after seven rounds of jogging and one lap of sprinting, he can still think of Fermat's last theorem, while walking slowly to regulate his breathing, and his body is still in a residual state.

　　In addition, when he returned home, he performed the "Shame Confrontation Exercise", using embarrassment as an impetus to train his body. Until now, Shinichi can clearly feel that his body is getting more and more energetic, and his mind is getting stronger after training. It's also clearer than usual.

　　Even if tired, it is very refreshing.

　　Voltaire once said that life lies in movement.

　　At this moment, Shinichi felt the heat of life, right above the glistening sweat!

　　It wasn't like Shinichi had never exercised before, but he had never worked out so hard and with such motivation, without reason or awareness, he was still a frail young man with a physical disability.

　　If it weren't for Yotsuba, if it weren't for the embarrassment, Shinichi might have used his schoolwork and official duties as an excuse to continue being a geek.

　　But now, changes are gradually occurring.

　　Persevere, even though Shinichi can't become JOJO, when he was teased by Nino as bean sprouts, he can straighten his back and come back with confidence.

　　—Look, have you ever seen such powerful bean sprouts?

After taking a walk, Shinichi put these messy thoughts aside, and when he looked at Furuhashi, his gaze froze for a few seconds.

Furuhashi is wearing sportswear, and her slender figure with a ponytail, but the mole under her left eye adds beauty, and her smile is warm and light as a warm winter sun.

　　"Thank you for your hard work~"

　　As Shinichi approached, Furuhashi took out a neatly folded towel from her bag, and handed it to him.

　　"This is the payback for ordinary teaching."

　　Shinichi nodded and took a towel to wipe his sweat: "Thank you."

　　"Ah, and black tea with lemon zest."

　　"Thank You."

　　With black lemon tea in one hand and towel in the other, Shinichi sat on the floor, side by side with Furuhashi, watching the scene of the growing vitality on the field.

　　The expressions of the two relaxed involuntarily. The distance between the shoulders was only ten centimeters, but the atmosphere was peaceful and natural without any ambiguity

　　After more than ten seconds like this, sniffing the pleasant scent that was faintly coming from beside him, Shinichi thought.

　　(Wait a minute, isn't this development a little strange)

　　(Why did Furuhashi come here in a tracksuit and bring me a towel and black tea? If it was just a fad, I could hardly believe it, and too far-fetched for rewards, right?)

　　(Is she an elementary school girl who admires the sports club seniors?)

　　Sipping the sweet and refreshing lemon black tea, Shinichi doubted the very natural sight in front of him.

　　And Furuhashi on the other hand...

　　(Ahhhhhhhh, wait a second! Think carefully, isn't that the exact same as an elementary school girl admiring a sports club senior!? Please enjoy a towel and tea, that's not what I meant, Asada-san)

　　Sitting with a flushed face, Furuhashi's gaze was fixed to the front. She sweats constantly even when she doesn't exercise.

　　She also noticed that this scene was actually not natural at all, and it was easy to misunderstand.

　　(This is a chance to help Ricchan, why did I come alone, and somehow changed into a sports uniform?! Which brain circuit is wrong to do this, I'm so stupid...)

　　(Although I don't hate the current atmosphere, it's fine if it lasts a bit longer. However, if Asada-san misunderstands… If Ricchan misunderstands..)

　　Thinking about this, started to wonder if there was something wrong with her EQ and IQ.

　　(And as soon as I realized that Asada-san was right next to me, drinking the drink I provided and using the towel I brought, I felt so embarrassed, oooooo-)

　　She held her head while Shinichi looked at the runway.

　　(What kind of hint is this? No, maybe it's just a simple reply. Seeing how busy I've been recently, with Furuhashi's gentle personality, I'm sure she won't make such caring behavior. If I misunderstand without permission, I'm just indulging Alone.)

　　(If the object is replaced by Ogata... Well, this is just the normal behavior of caring for educators, there's no need for any misunderstanding!)

　　Arriving at this conclusion, Shinichi immediately relaxed. Before the natural mood turned into embarrassment, he turned to look at Furuhashi, and was about to say a few words of saint.

　　(No! Impulsive decisions can't restore the past, so use rational actions to change the future! Stop thinking about it, I'm an emotionless girl now!)

　　Furuhashi raised her head, her gaze shifted to Shinichi, and she tried to maintain a dignified appearance. Thinking about a math problem that had been bothering her for a long time, and was about to ask her a question.

　　The moment the two people faced each other, and their eyes met.

　　"Ahahaha, Asada-san, I'm back~ Are you feeling unwell after running eight laps… Huh?"

　　An excited voice sounded from behind, and the girl with the green hair bow on her head jumped towards Shinichi, before she finished speaking, she looked at Furuhashi suspiciously.

　　"You..."
