The girl next door turns into a cat

Chapter 25 Communication, On the Morning Run

Michiyo Tamaki was in front, and Suzuki stood behind, trying to keep up with the girl's footsteps.

Jogging has already started, and the morning air keeps blowing head-on, making it even colder.

"The reason is actually very simple." Tamaki Michiyo jogged while answering the question Suzuki Mori just asked.

While walking up and down, the ponytail swaying behind him caught Suzuki Mamoru's eyes.The girl's hair was tied high and fluttering, revealing her fair neck from time to time, which was very conspicuous.

Suzuki Mamoru couldn't help but glanced twice, and Tamaki Michiyo's voice blew along with the wind.

"The Kendo Club has an assessment. Due to the rules I made myself, if Suzuki wants to join, he can only pass the assessment."

"—But there is no threshold for learning the way of the sword." When talking about the way of the sword, even if he is running now, Yucheng Michiyo's words are indescribably brisk.

"No matter what the purpose is, you can practice swordsmanship."

"I'm also happy to see that more people are willing to practice swordsmanship."

"Therefore, as long as Suzuki-san wants to practice kendo, then this week, I will do my best to bring Suzuki-san into the gate of kendo practice."

"So." Suzuki Mamoru took a breath and interjected, "What does this have to do with running?"

Michiyo Yucheng calmly explained: "Although kendo does not require high physical fitness, Suzuki-san's physical fitness does. Need more exercise."

"." Suzuki Mori remained silent.

After a while, Yucheng Michiyo spoke again, and added: "This is one of the reasons why I invited Suzuki-san to go for a morning jog."

Not long after jogging started, Mamoru Suzuki felt that he was tired.He didn't really want to waste his energy anymore, but after hearing Yucheng Michiyo's words, he still couldn't help asking: "Then there is another reason, the second reason?"

"Yeah." Yucheng Michiyo replied, and then asked, "Suzuki-san, at first, it was because I said, "Even Suzuki-san can keep up." Because I was unwilling to say this, I started to exercise and practice kendo. thought of it, eh? "

"Uh." Suzuki Mamoru made a hesitant voice.

"If Suzuki-san really minds that, then I apologize to you."

Although she was following Michiyo Yucheng and couldn't see her expression, Suzuki Mamoru could also imagine that the girl still looked serious when she said this apology, "It's just—"

There was another twist.

"I still have to say that the best way to avoid being underestimated is to improve yourself."

"."

"That's the second reason."

After the explanation is over, the question of why Michiyo Yucheng suddenly invited him to run in the morning has been answered, and the girl even apologized for what she said unintentionally to him back then.

Although Mamoru Suzuki, who got an apology, was not very happy.

Tamaki Michiyo's character can be said to be quite straightforward.

But he knew it a long time ago, after all, her character image was clearly reflected in his mind.

"Okay, Yucheng classmate, I understand." Suzuki Mamoru responded with some helplessness, "But."

"But what?"

"Where did Yucheng know about it? I mind what Yucheng said back then?"

——"Because I mind the words "even Suzuki-san can keep up" so I plan to practice kendo", he has only talked to Shiroko about this matter
The girl probably forgot about this matter, forgot the dividing line between humans and cats, and even said it out.

Suzuki Mori looked curiously at Tamaki Michiyo's back.He wondered how she would explain the oversight.

The result was silence, nothing but footsteps and his own panting.

After a long time, Yucheng Michiyo's unnatural response sounded: ".It's just that I can see it myself."

Answering so bluntly, this girl is really not good at lying.

"Ah, so that's the case." Suzuki Mamoru still responded very cooperatively, and didn't delve into it further.

Then, after running a few more steps, perhaps realizing that her own response was inappropriate, Michiyo Yucheng began to change the topic.

"Suzuki-san, remember you said that you are going to give the cat a name, right?"

Suzuki Mamoru thought about the sudden topic, followed by: "Yes, there is such a thing."

"how?"

"Uh" Suzuki Mori took a deep breath and said, "I have thought about it."

Tamaki Michiyo waited for his answer.

"Mio." Suzuki Mamoru said

"Mio?" Tamaki Michiyo repeated in a questioning tone.

"Well, "mio" sounds cute, doesn't it?In Chinese characters, it is "氵" plus "zero" "氵". "

Yucheng Michiyo did not comment immediately, but thought for a moment and asked, "Why did you choose this name?"

"."

Suzuki Mori was silent, took another deep breath, and began to look up at the sky.In the blue sky, there are white clouds.

Blue and white, beautiful colors.It's just people who are not straight.

It's like "Mio", a nice name, but it's just because people are not serious when they think of it.

—Never mind how you got it, such a name is really good, right?
"Let's talk about it later." Suzuki Mamoru looked away from the blue and white sky and replied panting.

Michiyo Yucheng glanced back at him, then turned back again.

"Ah."

The girl's breath was still not disturbed at all.

The gap in physical fitness does exist.

The morning run of the two ended up being scattered because of Suzuki Mori's lack of physical strength. Suzuki Mori started to take a walk, and Tamaki Michiyo continued his morning run on his own, out of his field of vision.

By the time Suzuki Mori saw Tamaki Michiyo again, it was already time to go home to rest, have breakfast, and then go to school.

The two still went out at the same time, separated by a distance of more than ten meters, and went to school together.

Only this time, Suzuki watched Michiyo Tamaki from behind, and after thinking about it, he walked up.

"Student Yucheng." He walked with the girl about one meter apart.

"Well, Suzuki-san." Tamaki Michiyo turned to look at him and greeted him as well.

Then he went all the way to school without saying anything.

It seems that there is no difference from before.
