The sound of a heartbeat

On the way to school.

A petite elementary school student with a red backpack on his back, who was waiting for a red light at the intersection, appeared.

Naoki looked at the high school uniform of the same style as hers, looked down more than ten centimeters, and found the breast volume of the high school level from behind, and quickly judged the identity of the other party.

"Ogata, good morning."

Ogata Rizu who was waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, heard the sound and turned to look.

Those eyes are so fierce!

Naoki was surprised.

Those eyes were like seeing a heartless person who abandoned his wife and children, making people sweat and feel guilty!

"Ogata, are you okay?" Naoki asked carefully.

I don't work at your udon noodle restaurant, and I didn't ride a bike with you to deliver udon last night. Is it wrong? Why are you looking at me with such sharp eyes?

"This is Asakawa-san… What's wrong with me?"

Ogata tilted his head.

His voice was as serious and serious as ever, and nothing seemed to go wrong... No wonder!

As she spoke she continued to stare at me with bitter and hateful eyes, clearly something happened!

Naoki distanced himself from Ogata.

Ogata's bitter eyes and hatred looked even more ferocious.

"I was wrong, please forgive me."

Naoki raised his hand, and apologized first. It must be a serious matter for Ogata to show such an expression.

"Why is Asakawa-san apologizing?" Ogata tilted his head with a confused expression on his face.

Why apologize?

Of course, your expression is too oppressive, and if I don't apologize, I always feel uncomfortable with my conscience!

Naoki seriously thought about what heinous thing he did, and after thinking about it, it was still related to sending udon: "I was wrong to let you send udon alone last night, please let me make up for it next time."

"Why is Asakawa-san apologizing?" Ogata pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his eyes seemed to soften slightly, "I'm so grateful for having udon with me during the break... Next time I deliver udon is Friday night, let's deliver together."

I didn't expect you to be so considerate, when I ask you to speak, don't keep looking at me with bitter eyes!

So it doesn't matter if the eyes are so scary and take food?

"Is that the reason why I don't play board games with you?" Naoki thought for a while and thought of another possibility, "I was busy with the midterms recently, and I don't have time to play board games with you. It's my fault… When will you be free to play games together?"

"Can?" Ogata's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, this is the reason.

Naoki heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Of course, you can set the time... The green light is on, let's go."

(Wait... something went wrong.)

(Ogata had completely stopped looking at me, but she was still staring at other people with bitter eyes! An office worker walking across the street was clearly caught by his aura, so she stepped aside on his own initiative!)

(Where exactly is the problem?)

Naoki finally finds the problem when a teenager riding a bicycle passes and Ogata hits him straight away.

"Careful." Naoki reached out his hand and grabbed the back of his neck, bringing back Ogata who had hit the bike, and said, "Are your eyes uncomfortable?"

"Not." Ogata pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, then said, "When I woke up this morning, my father accidentally broke my glasses, so I had to wear spare glasses, the degrees must be deeper, now things are a bit blurry..."

Naoki: "..."

Damn it! Turns out the reason why I feel bitter all the time is simply because your eyes can't see clearly! This kind of thing should have been said before, and I won't be misunderstood for so long!

You didn't say anything, but I actually signed a contract to sell myself, not only to send udon by bicycle, but also to play board games with you, it's very complicated.

"Asakawa-san, are you okay?" Ogata tilted his head, "Why don't you leave suddenly?"

"I'm fine." Naoki covered his chest, "It's just that my heart hurts."

"Why does your heart hurt when you are healthy? Could it be that you are sick?" Ogata said nervously, "Let me listen."

Naoki said wordlessly, "I'm not sick."

"Asakawa-san, don't take it seriously!" Ogata looks serious, "Grandpa neighbor is also hurt. At first he didn't take it seriously, but by the time he finally went to the hospital for a checkup, it had become a very serious heart attack. This kind of disease must be watched out for. "

Hello, the last time I rescued a cat in the park, your neighbor's grandfather fell down the stairs and was paralyzed. Now having a serious heart attack. The risk of being your neighbor is too high, it's comparable to fishing for crabs in Alaska.

"I'm fine..."

Naoki sighed, and his head hurt for a while. Ogata's biggest problem is that she is too serious, and she can't joke around.

I just said that you've learned to empathize, and you can't even hear my jokes in the blink of an eye!

"Wait until I'm done listening."

Ogata walked towards Naoki, pressed his left ear on Naoki's chest. Since she was less than 1.5 meters tall, this move was quite easy and natural, and she didn't even need to bend over.

The smell of shampoo mixed with bath soap wafted into the nose, and there was also a faint smell of udon noodles.

"Your heart is beating faster." Ogata listened.

A girl lay on my chest, No, it should be the ribs that can clearly feel the squeezing sensation of some kind of soft bomb object.

"Heart rate is still getting faster, Asakawa-san is really sick."

Naoki lowered his head and said, "I'm not sick, get up quickly."

A fast heartbeat is not a disease, a disturbance is a symptom of a disease, you take it too seriously!

"Not." Ogata pressed his ear to Naoki's chest, and said earnestly, "I'll listen for a while to gather information."

*click*

The sound of the phone taking the picture rang softly nearby.

Naoki looked up and saw a girl wearing a mask, white coat, and a cell phone in her hand, with the words 'suspicious person' written on her face flashing past the corner.

The next moment.

An incredible voice came from another direction.

"A-Asakawa-san?"

Furuhashi wore a white headband and a school bag on his right shoulder, walking from a distance, and his facial expression was a bit strange, a complex expression of surprise mixed with doubt.

Misunderstanding?

Needless to say, it must have been a misunderstanding.

The girl lies on the boy's chest and listens to the heartbeat, isn't this behavior between lovers?

Ogata's problem is anything but ordinary, she's serious enough to cause hair loss!

Ogata took a half step back and finally left Naoki's chest, "Good morning."

Furuhashi said in a nervous voice, "Ah…Ricchan, good morning."

After a pause, she seemed to be trying to escape: "I have something to do, so I'll go first, I won't bother you two..."
