“No, this isn’t some kind of power show… .”

I appealed to the waiting committee member that I couldn’t do it, but was told that they would give it a try and change it if it didn’t work out.

I grumbled and untied the straps on my ankles that were tightly bound.

If it’s like this, what kind of 3-person, 4-way race is this?

“Hey, I don’t mean anything strange, I’m just asking. Your weight… … .”

“Kya~ Asking a woman’s weight so carelessly is low quality!”

“… … Yes, I got it.”

I asked for no reason and only got a scolding.

While we were untangling our ties and wondering what to do, other teams arrived and began carrying out various missions.

There were some guys heading to the cheering section, wondering if anyone really had to come.

It would have been better if it had been something like that, but they pulled out this mission… .

Well, in the end, I was the one who pulled the paper, so who can I blame? The problem was my hands.

“Then what should we do… . Because I will support your thighs. You touch my shoulder. It’s harder if you’re far away from the body, so try to stay as close to the body as possible.”

No matter how much I do, it seems impossible to carry them from both sides with just my arm strength.

To be precise, I could lift it if I tried, but it seemed difficult to sustain it for a long time.

Even though I’m strong, I don’t do any strength training at the gym.

There would be at least a chance if they leaned on me as much as possible, reducing the weight on their arms and putting the weight on their bodies.

Even if you carry it with your arms, it’s almost like carrying it on your back.

“Well, don’t overdo it. My back hurt.”

Seong Yu-rin was embarrassed and hesitated.

“Try it once and if you don’t think it will work, give up.”

I thought it would be okay since it would be like lifting a bag of rice with one arm if I were to apply the weight to my body.

Because it seems like it has that much power.

It wasn’t an incredibly long way to the finish line.

“Uh, you can’t touch the butt?”

“I understood… .”

It was obvious that if we waited a little longer, we would end up in the bottom half, so I lowered my posture and urged the two.

Hesitantly, I stood up, lifting the two people who were leaning against it.

“Hmphcha.”

“Wow.”

“Kya!”

Hong Yeon-seo and Seong Yu-rin panicked and leaned on each other.

Thanks to this, the center of gravity was shifted a little more toward the body, making the arms more comfortable.

“This is okay.”

Of course, it was heavy, but it was enough to hold on until the finish line.

-Oooh.

As I walked forward, cheers erupted from the audience.

I never thought I would become a zoo monkey at this age… .

My face suddenly became hot.

“Woah, isn’t it heavy? Let’s just do another mission… .”

“… no. It’s light.”

They both kept taking turns asking me if I was okay.

Still, you need to keep these basic manners.

… When carrying only one person, it may sound like a considerate thing to say, but because he is carrying two people, it seems as if he is proud of himself for no reason.

In fact, it could be said that shame is greater than heaviness when it comes to difficult causes.

And it was as if my immune system was sounding an emergency alarm at the contact of a woman’s body.

They were both wearing gym clothes and were almost glued to me, so it was quite dangerous.

Good idea… . Good idea… … .

As I walked silently, I beat the 4-person pentagon team that was walking toward the finish line in front of us.

… Why are there 4 of them? Was the mission ‘add one more person and run’?

Because we reached the mission box quickly, we were able to cross the finish line ahead of two teams that received relatively easy missions.

The other teams were running here and there to complete the mission, so I was faster because I could complete the mission just by carrying two people in place.

“Phew… .”

Although he didn’t show it, he crossed the finish line with a groan and carefully set the two down.

Hong Yeon-seo came down and fluttered her gym clothes.

“No, it’s hot because it’s up high… .”

No, no matter how high it is, how high is it?

Hong Yeon-seo stood far away and took a breath.

“Are you okay?”

Then, Seong Yu-rin came down from the other side and massaged my arm.

“Uh huh. It was more worth doing than I thought.”

“Amazing… . I don’t feel my muscles like that.”

Seong Yu-rin continued massaging her arm as if it were fascinating.

… As a result, I felt a little embarrassed and withdrew my arm.

Only then did Seong Yu-rin realize why I did that and show shame.

As we crossed the finish line, the words “Class C, 1st Place” appeared in large letters on the electronic display board.

* * *

“Wow.”

“Crazy.”

Exclamations of exclamation were heard one after another from around me.

It was worth it, because the sight that unfolded before my eyes was jaw-dropping.

“They look light… .”

“What are you talking about? Are you a pervert?”

“Oh, no, that’s not it… … .”

There were also children who got criticized while analyzing things for no reason.

“Jin is really strong.”

Se-Ah Lee was just as purely amazed as the people around her.

Having known Seo Yi-jin for a long time, Se-ah Lee knew that she was a little different from ordinary people, but this was the first time she had seen her like that.

“value.”

And Lee So-yoon showed an angry attitude, perhaps because she was still feeling disappointed.

Lee Se-ah petted Lee So-yoon as if she were cute.

Lee So-yoon didn’t like being treated like a child, but Lee Se-ah’s touch felt even better.

Like a kitten purring in its mother’s arms, Lee So-yoon enjoyed Lee Se-ah’s touch.

Lee Se-ah, who naturally calmed down the angry Lee So-yoon, looked intently at Seo Yi-jin, who was showing off her strength with shining eyes.

There was a certain desire in those eyes.

Only she knows what was on her mind and what it was.

I returned to where my class was gathered, almost half-baked as a hero.

If it had been a three-person, four-legged race without anything special, it wouldn’t have been this bad, but since the performance was a performance, I was forced to become a celebrity.

I even high-fived people I didn’t normally talk to.

Anyway, we… Wow, thanks to my performance, Class C was able to proudly rank first on the first day of the sports day.

If there are no variables, it will probably remain in that same position tomorrow.

Even if you don’t rank in one or two sports, it won’t be enough to catch up with the scores of your class.

I don’t know if everyone knew this, but the atmosphere in our class was friendly.

This was because the school provided support so that if you won first place in the sports day, you could have a party after class.

The support was so serious that the early morning high school sports day after-party was famous not only at school but also outside the school.

With support from all the clubs on campus, you can enjoy a grand dinner.

After the last game, we gathered together and prepared to go home.

The teacher checked to see if anyone was missing, and when there was no problem, he gathered everyone together and gave a brief bow.

“Teacher, I am so happy to be the homeroom teacher of our C class~ Everyone worked hard today! Let’s go home, rest comfortably, and work hard tomorrow too. Would the class president and vice class president want to help the teacher for a while?”

“See you tomorrow. Teacher~”

“Yesep.”

Leaving behind the children who exchanged greetings and parted ways, I, Lee Se-ah, Lee So-yoon, Hong Yeon-seo, and Seong Yu-rin remained.

“Hmm? Why are there three left? Do you want to go together?“

“Yes. We decided to have dinner together.”

I answered the teacher’s question.

I made a dinner plan while having lunch earlier.

My mother actively promoted it, so everyone said, uh… Although it feels like I’ve fulfilled my promise.

“I see. Don’t worry, I’ll send it to you soon.”

What the teacher asked was simple.

They said that they had to move the icebox from the morning back to the main building and find out how many were missing so that they could be filled again tomorrow according to the number of people, so they left the two of us behind to do that together.

“Ah. Then, I… … .”

“We’ll move it~”

Before I could take a single step, the girls came rushing in and grabbed the icebox one by one.

“Jini, rest. You used a lot of effort earlier.”

“I’m fine.”

“Because we’re okay too.”

So the four children walked away, laughing and talking to each other.

The teacher who was watching the scene smiled happily and spoke to me.

“Jin Lee would be nice, right?”

“Haha… .”

As I laughed awkwardly, the teacher continued.

“I’m jealous~ The teacher only studies… . I didn’t enjoy my youth like you did… … … .”

The teacher, who was smiling happily, suddenly gave off a gloomy aura.

It was such a melancholy that it felt like an optical illusion, as if my once shiny black hair had turned gray.

that… . Hey, are you cheering up? But you’re still young.

I cheered internally, something I couldn’t bring myself to say out loud.

I wouldn’t know if it were me in a past life, or if I said those things as me now… Because something bad can happen.

A high school student telling an adult that he or she is still young is a complete deception… .
