Sweat poured down as the scorching summer heat stung Nisha-even though she had used cooling lotion, and her hair was tied in a ponytail style to avoid it.

This afternoon, the running exercise in the city park turned out to be very exhausting. However, her daily exercise was actually off because the coach thought Nisha was entitled to take a rest, she had been training hard enough before competition. But, Nisha seemed a little stubborn because she still felt lacking and wanted to continue practicing, that she thought she had to be a winner.

This afternoon, finally, she brought her feet to run around. Well, she considered it as a warm-up. After an hour, she got tired, so she rested on a park bench momentarily.

"......" In the meantime, Nisha fell silent, while her eyes wandered around until he found a figure of a young boy playing basketball. Seeing that, Nisha remembered something-someone who always played basketball seriously, in some ways slowly reminded as her motivation.

Nisha clenched her fists, and stood up from the park bench. "I can do it!" With the spirit that emerged from her, she stood up again.

But suddenly, energy drink can approached her cheek-sticking and giving an electric shock due to the temperature difference between the two surface that touched each other. "!!" Surprised, Nisha turned around.

Her obs caught the red-haired man

offering her the drink, who else if he was

not Akashi Seijuro. "I saw you around here

since earlier," he said, "there's nothing

wrong taking a break, didn't your coach

say so?"

Nisha was silent, she pursed her lips while glancing away. Was he angry? "But..."

Akashi sighed, "well, I'll sit here." Then he sat on the park bench while looking at the little boy who was playing basketball playfully. "You've done your best, just don't push yourself much."

That words made Nisha in silence-blinked twice, and muttered, 'is he worried?' but Akashi didn't show that expression much. He just drank the same canned drink as her-sipping it slowly. And it sound made the silence between them disappear.

"...is it fine?" Nisha asked.

"everything will be fine," he replied to her, calmly. "Now, my order, you have to accompany me." He patted the empty seat next to him, "if you can't think of taking a break for yourself, then think about accompanying me for a while."

hearing that, reddish thin lines appeared on her cheeks—and there was no comment from her at all except to obey Akashi this time, and enjoy the rest of the afternoon with him.♪
