"Are you ready? Now for the position..."
A starting point for a hundred meters walk.
I was in the starting position in the crowding start position and listened to the attendant.
Next to me in the first course, in the second, Rio takes a starting position as well.
There was no usual yurliness on its side, and the face of a tough, riddled girl looked forward.
It's so beautiful.
I almost fell in love with the way it looked, and I panicked and turned back.
"Yoo-hoo."
But slightly, Rio's cheeks stained red, and his eyes also seemed slightly shaky.
Were you nervous?
No, maybe it's my fault.
More than that, we have to focus on the upcoming race.
I'm going to concentrate.
"─ Start!
At the same time as the attendant's voice, he kicked the ground.
With an image that focuses the brave man's struggle on his legs, he rushes forcefully, fast, and through the ground.
─ ─ When you are concentrating like this, time flies slowly and even feels half-stopped.
Of course that's an illusion, but in such a subjective sense of time I kick in the ground and go up my own speed.
"Ah! Yabe!?
From behind then on, I heard Rio.
Hmm...?
You got a late start?
Delay is about a comma two seconds long, but rare for a Rio with a good concentration.
Were you thinking of anything extra?
But even so, I'm not going out of hand.
I did everything I could and ran through 100 meters at once.
Slightly behind me, it seemed Rio had scored a goal as well.
And Rio stopped some time after the goal and held his head.
"Ha, ha... Mm-hmm! Oh, brother, you're cheating!
"What is it?"
I don't know what it is, so I ask him back, and Rio comes up to me once and for all, looking up at me with a face dyed bright red on his cheeks.
"Brother, you were looking at me before the start! What the fuck is that!? If you care, you can't. If you thought you couldn't, you'd start at some point! - Oh, shit!"
"Oh, you mean... bad.... No, to be honest, I thought Rio's side was beautiful, and I fell in love... sorry"
"Heh...?
When I lowered my head like that, Rio, whose face turned bright red, sprayed hot air from his head.
Then Rio gets upset and looks at me with some obstinate uplift.
"... Oh, you know, brother... what does that mean...?
"What do you mean...? No, I mean normal."
"Normal means that...... Huh, well, it's my brother, and I can't help it"
……
I don't know what it is, but Rio stunned me.
Forget that.
I get pulled over by Rio and go to the attendant at the goal point to hear the two records.
The attendant gave us a half-drawn laugh and told us how it turned out.
"Mr. Brett, ninety-six a second. Mr. Rio, it's two seconds, 21. They're both amazing...... today's top record one two, that's a dantoz too"
But when I heard that, Rio was so bored.
"Ah, I regret it! Even when I run out of two seconds, I can't!"
But every measurement of the status test is one at a time, and the re-measurement is only when there are mistakes on the measurement side...
Unfortunately, the new official measurements will be off-duty until next year.
"Uh, Rio... I'm really sorry if it was my fault"
"Yeah, it's your brother's fault.... apologize, hold me later. Then I forgive you."
"Oh, okay. That's a hug. But later, where there's no one."
I don't know what it is, but that's what we talked about.
Honestly, I think it's pretty nasty to hold Rio, who has recently suddenly started releasing women's colored incense, but this time it doesn't seem like I'm the one to blame.
Rio has nothing else to say, and I guess he's saying it in the same nori as he did a year ago, so you can't have an evil feeling... I'm not sure I'm honest, but I just have to work hard to make my heart a saint.
By the way, Rio, who took the pledge from me, went to Iris and Mayfa and talked to them about something.
"Off...... Rio, what is it now? Oh, is that what this is about?
"I didn't have to do it from the beginning. Honestly, I'm late for time because of your brother, huh?
"... but the way it's done is rubbing.... you think you can use your brother's weaknesses to satisfy your desires?... I'll imitate you too."
"What!? … then, so am I…"
I felt my eyes glisten as my three godchildren looked at me, and the chills ran on my spine.
Hey, what are those eyes that look at that prey......
By the way, my brother and I were watching Rio walk a hundred meters.
"To... two seconds, so...!? I mean, what's the impossible speed right now..."
"Ah, brother! If that was doping earlier, what about the next one!?
"Uh... that's it. Doping, doping. Double doping."
"Double doping!? I've never heard that before! I don't know what it is, but you look so fucked up!
"Oh, it's so bad. But Johnny, I just remembered some errands. Don't worry about them, we'll just finish the status test."
"What...? Aren't you going to expose their doping, brother?!?
"I want to do that in the mountains, but somehow I don't have time right now. I'm afraid I'm gonna miss it this time."
"Holy crap......! Chip, those guys, what a bad luck...!
Your brother and the little man have just made their way to the next measurement.
Rio and the others who saw it,
"Oh, I ran away..."
"What do we do, Rio? chase?"
"No, it's not okay, is it? Anyway, I don't think I'm going to apologize for getting away with it."
"... the more unfortunate, the more wanting to put up a vanity.... pathetic, but the truth of the world"
That's how I was dropping off my brother and little guy with pity eyes.
Well, it's not like I'm as incapable as I say as a brave man, and those guys...
You and the three of them are just unusual.
I want you to make sure there's no mistake.
─ ─ So although there was such a little trouble, the status tests for me and Rio, Ilis and Mayfa for the four of us went on unconnected afterwards.
In various tests, including repetitive lateral bouncing, gunshot throwing, grip, spine strength, and numerous endurance and magic measurements, my godchildren and I popped up enough records to surprise the surveyor one after another.
And when the photo was taken, the test was successfully completed.
At the end of the day, return to the Guild of the Brave to report the end of the test.
He was then told that the Brave Man card with certification status could be raised by three days later.
Rio and the others, who thought they would see the results soon, raised a little dissatisfaction, but the brave cards wouldn't be raised in an instant from where you saw them.
I took Rio and dined in a somewhat gorgeous restaurant in the city and then returned to the village.
It should be noted that in the middle of the night, I held Rio in my home room as promised.
Honestly, I'm sorry I don't feel so comfortable. I knew I couldn't. So excited.
What I felt when I hugged her was the smell of a girl drifting from her hair and the girl's soft skin, the feeling of her chest being pressed against her.
A year ago, he said it was a comfortable pillow. I was blowing away somewhere.
Such a view of Rio today is completely impossible.
Even to Rio's hug, isn't this a lover's hug? I felt like I shouldn't feel so glossy that I thought, but it seems like my insides didn't have to be noticed by Rio somehow... I think, maybe.
─ And that happened, three days later.
Once again, we headed to the Brave Alliance to receive the Brave Card that we would have been able to.
