Daily life in Zongman

Xuesha didn't think this ordinary boy had any talent. If he did, he would be stronger, more mentally active, or more attractive to ghosts. In short, people with talent have always been extraordinary since childhood, but Fujiwara Haru looked very ordinary.

She didn't tell the child that he could practice because she didn't want to give the child hope. It would be too cruel if he saw hope but lost it again.

In the bathroom, Fujiwara Haru called out a light blue panel that only he could see.

He switched to the second scene, practice.

He looked at the prompt above, looked at the unlocked screen, and began to wash off the sweat on his body.

Fujiwara Haru longs for power, very, very much.

However, reason told him that what he should do now is to take good care of himself, take one step at a time, not be impatient, not be impulsive, and not let Miss Yukino worry.

Then, from now on, slowly, slowly, step by step, start moving towards your goal!

------

Yukino Shindong woke up and saw Fujiwara Haru sleeping beside her, and also saw Yukisa sitting next to her.

She supported her dizzy head and sat up, looking at Xuesha: "Thank you..."

Xuesha stood up: "It has nothing to do with me." She pointed at the sleeping Fujiwara Haru: "You adopted a very good child."

Yukino Fuyu smiled faintly: "Really... I think he's great too..."

Xuesha pushed the door open and prepared to leave: "Take good care of yourself. He has left cold medicine and warm water next to you. Remember to take them."

She remembered something and turned around to look at me: "By the way, when you recover, remember to tell me the whole story. I need to understand why you had this accident."

Yukino Shindong's smile turned a little awkward. She thought about her actions last night and felt very ashamed. After all, she graduated with honors. And as a snow girl, she caught a cold because of her own mistakes...

This is simply...

After Yukisa left, Yukino Shindong looked at Fujiwara Haru and found that he was also blinking at her. The two of them were talking in high voices, and Fujiwara Haru, who was a light sleeper, woke up easily.

"Ms. Yukino, are you feeling better? Would you like some more porridge?"

Yukino Shendong didn't say anything. She slowly shrank back into the quilt, and a dull and indistinct mumbling sound came from under the quilt.

Fujiwara Haru didn't hear clearly at first: "What did Miss Yukino say?"

A dull and vague mumbling sound came from under the quilt. Fujiwara Haru could only hear the word "no". The weak Yukino Shindong was unable to express it clearly for the time being, not to mention that there was a layer of quilt between them.

Fujiwara Haru could only confirm further: "Don't you want to drink porridge? Then is there anything Ms. Yukino would like to eat?"

There was no movement under the quilt.

After a while, Xue No Shen Dong poked her head out and pouted: "Ms. Xue No...Ms. Xue No...Ms. Xue No...you shouldn't call me like that just now..."

Fujiwara Haru reacted: "Sister Shendong."

Xue No Shendong's face showed an obviously happy expression. She blinked her eyes and said, "I want to drink porridge, but I still feel a little weak..."

Fujiwara Haru noticed that Yukino Shindong, who had a cold, was like a little child, and coaxed her patiently: "I understand. I'll feed Sister Shindong."

He ran back to the kitchen, brought the warm rice porridge with some side dishes to the bedroom.

First let Sister Shen Dong take the cold medicine, and then guided: "Ah~"

Sister Shendong sat up against the head of the bed and opened her mouth obediently. I put the spoon into her mouth and fed her, hoping that she would recover as soon as possible.

Yukino chewed in the deep winter, feeling happy. She had just thought that catching a cold was terrible, but now she found that it was not so terrible or uncomfortable after all.

After eating, Yukino Fuyu stretched out her hands: "Haru-kun, give me a hug."

Fujiwara Haru put down the empty bowl and was hugged by Yukino Shinfuyu.

She shrunk back into the bed again, this time taking Fujiwara Haru with her: "Thank you, Haru-kun, thank you very much. You must be tired too, let's take a rest together."

She rubbed Fujiwara Haru's face with a smile on her face: "This is a return gift for you rubbing me just now."

She said so, but then she kept rubbing her back gently and humming a soothing lullaby.

Finally, the still exhausted Yukino Shindong fell asleep first.

Looking at her face, Xia closed her eyes and said, "Good afternoon."

Xuesha said: Xueno is very strong in the deep winter.

Fujiwara Haru didn't see it, he only saw her fragility, as well as her gentleness, kindness, attentiveness and consideration.

She's good, she's really good.

In order to prevent the things that frighten her from happening, and also to prevent herself from losing.

Fujiwara Haru's determination is unwavering: he wants to gain strength, enough to protect Yukino Shindong and live a happy life.

34. Interlude: The Difference Between Twelve and Fourteen

The early morning birdsong penetrated the leaves. The boy ran under the trees on the street. A few dewdrops dripped from the branches, fell on his forehead, mixed with sweat, and slid down his face.

Yesterday was April 4th, and Fujiwara Haru received a big cake and a gift on his 7th birthday.

He likes it very much. He likes it very much on this year's birthday.

Reminiscing and running, the temperature gradually became hotter, the spring when all things come back to life passed by as I ran, and the summer heat wave began to sweep the streets.

With sweat soaking his clothes, Fujiwara Haru ran around his home, recalling the time he and Nishimiya Shoko measured their heights not long ago.

He is 141.6cm tall and Nishimiya is 145cm tall. Nishimiya is taller than him, but it doesn't matter. He doesn't care about height.

Study, run, create art, eat, rest, and sleep for a full ten hours.

Fujiwara Haru maintains a good schedule and insists on exercising.

The summer vacation passed quickly, and it was the second semester of the first year of junior high school. At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the woods were shady and the school sports meeting began.

Running on the playground, Fujiwara Haru took the baton handed to him by his classmates and began his final sprint.

He strained his legs, sprinting back to catch up. The wind swept across his face, whipping his hair around him and clinging to his clothes. The shouts of the crowd around the track reached his ears, carried away by the wind.

In the 4×400m relay race, he was the last runner.

After passing one person, surpassing another, and looking at the last person in front of him, Fujiwara Haru closed his eyes briefly.

He steadied his breathing, quickened his pace, opened his eyes and looked forward. He looked forward, ran, and kept running as he watched the front.

He crossed the finish line amid cheers.

The school sports meet is over, the weather is getting colder, and the trees on the street are becoming bare. After a heavy snowfall, they are dressed in pure white.

Snowflakes fell on his head and were blown away by the wind after a moment. Fujiwara Haru was running by the lake. His hair had grown a lot longer and he was a little taller.

He gradually began to like running.

2015 ended on a run.

Fujiwara Haru recorded his height: 145.9cm. He grew 5.9cm taller this year.

Nishimiya Shoko's height: 151cm, she grew 7cm taller in a year.

I calculated that the difference is 5.1cm, which is not a lot. Fujiwara Haru doesn't care about her height, so she didn't take it to heart.

In 2016, we set out again on the run.

New Year's visit, cherry blossom viewing, birthdays, and fireworks displays.

In the blink of an eye, it was August, and Fujiwara Haru spent an ordinary but fulfilling day watching fireworks bloom in the sky.

Go home and measure your height: 149.3cm

Nishimiya Glass Height: 155cm

Calculate it, the difference is 5.7cm.

Fujiwara Haru was silent for a moment, then punched the wall. Damn it! He shouldn't have told her that drinking milk would make her taller! Why is she so hard to pursue?

Today, Fujiwara Haru is also troubled by the height difference between him and his best friend.

Monday, February 2016, 10 was sunny.

Fujiwara Haru, who was taking a lunch break, discovered a new icon on the map.

A door, a small purple door sparkling with starlight, stood at the edge of the town map. On the map was a foggy area, which meant he had never been there.

This was the first time he found a clue in a foggy area that he had never explored. In the past, flashing spots and exclamation marks would only appear in areas that had been explored. There would be no flashing spots and exclamation marks in foggy areas that he had never been to.

Fujiwara Haru was very curious about the meaning of the new icon, so he tried clicking the small door like an exclamation mark, and two prompts popped up.

Special Event: Correction

Time remaining: 32:06:59

Tomorrow's special event? Why did the reminder appear today? Fujiwara Haru noticed something unusual. In the past, the red exclamation mark would only last for 24 hours at most, and there had never been a reminder that lasted more than 24 hours.

Maybe something will happen today?

Fujiwara Haru guessed and decided to go and take a look first. Just like he wanted to know what the red exclamation mark was, he was also curious about what would happen to this small purple star gate.

But I have to go home and prepare.

After school in the afternoon, I told Nishimiya Glass that I would go home early today, and then I trotted back home. After pouring out the books from my schoolbag, I searched for my equipment.

Fujiwara Haru gathered his exploration equipment by rummaging through his home medicine cabinet and utility cabinet, including a flashlight, antibiotics, bottled water, bandages, ropes, and a raincoat.

I put on my schoolbag and came to Sister Shen Dong: "Sister Shen Dong, I'm going to stay outside all day today."

It wasn't dinner time yet, and Yukino Shindong, who was reading on the sofa, looked over and asked curiously, "Do you want to go play with your classmates?"

"It's not like I'm going to have fun. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm going to stay outside all day."

Yukino Shindong thought for a moment, but didn't press the issue. She had always been careful to protect Fujiwara Haru's privacy and never delved into secrets. She simply patted the sofa, motioning for someone to come over.

Fujiwara Haru walked over and was hugged, and then the pendant hanging on her hand was held in Yukino Fuyu's hands.

There was a noticeable sense of air converging, and when Xue No Shen Dong let go of her hand, the ice crystal pendant, her 11th birthday gift, became even brighter and more lustrous.

"Okay, Qingjun, be careful out there. If anything happens, call your sister."

"Well, see you tomorrow, Sister Shendong. I'm going out now~"

Yukino Shindong waved her hand and watched Fujiwara Haru push the door and leave. Then she quickly walked to the window, opened the curtains that were always closed, and looked down.

Watching Fujiwara Haru walking further and further away, she clutched the curtains tightly, unable to help but feel a little worried.

After officially setting off, Fujiwara Haru bought a map at a bookstore. He looked at the pictures on it, compared them with his own map, and looked for the bus to transfer to.

Two years later, he arrived in the suburbs again.

The sky here looks very low, as if it is right on the top of the mountain, and misty clouds are flowing between the mountains.

It was a beautiful scene, and Fujiwara Haru simply praised it: "It's really beautiful."

Following the map, Fujiwara Haru arrived at the suburbs where the purple star gate was located. The star gate disappeared and was replaced by a yellow exclamation mark, which was returning from the suburbs to the suburbs.

It was already dark. After dinner at the hotel, Fujiwara Haru came over, staring at the yellow exclamation mark on the pale blue screen.

He followed them and confirmed that the yellow exclamation mark was two men and one woman. The three of them walked into a hotel. He followed them in and heard the following conversation.

Store manager: "Oh, we only have one room left. Would you like to squeeze in?"

The woman among the three people in front said, "Yes, manager, please prepare three futons for us."

Store manager: "Excuse me, please follow me."

Fujiwara Haru watched the four of them go upstairs and then followed them up. His childlike appearance didn't attract anyone's attention. The owner speculated that he might be a customer's child.

Fujiwara Haru, who was following behind, knew how the three of them addressed each other.

Among the three, the man wearing glasses is called Tsukasa, the older sister is Okudera-senpai, and the last one is the silent man named Taki.

35. The most classic scene

Fujiwara Haru didn't know the three people, and they didn't know Fujiwara Haru either. After watching them enter the house, Fujiwara Haru looked at the remaining time on the map and decided to find a place to sleep for the night.

Because the hotel was full, Fujiwara Haru was unable to book a room, so the kind-hearted owner let him stay on the sofa in the first-floor lobby for one night.

And he kept saying, "It's not good to run away from home." "If you have any difficulties, you can talk to your uncle." "Come and have some cake and Coke?"

After taking some effort to explain to his boss that he had not run away from home, Fujiwara Haru lay down on the sofa in the living room with a quilt covering him. Before he fell asleep, he began to think about what the purple star door meant.

There are now five icons on the map: school, home, flashing spot, exclamation mark, and purple star door.

The icons of school and home are very simple, just marks indicating that this is school and this is home. This is easy to understand for Fujiwara Haru who has been playing the game for two years.
