Chapter 108 Suguha’s help in changing clothes
". Give it a try, you mean?"
"I just asked you if you wanted to come over and play."
Mineshiori explained softly: "She said that the venue will still be available for a while, and members of the exchange competition can also use it freely. If you want to give it a try, she can help lend you a clean set of equipment."
"Is there still time?"
Sawayama Haruno suddenly became interested.
Although I felt extremely bored after watching the game today, maybe it will be different in practice?
Who hasn't done anything like swinging a wooden sword around when they were young? The hobby in this area has been almost since childhood.
If it's convenient, Haruno Sawayama really wants to try it.
"It won't cause any trouble, will it?" he asked.
"Probably not, Suguha asked you to come here quickly."
Then, Mine Shiori told Sawayama Haruno on the phone how to come through the passage.
After hanging up the phone, Sawayama Haruno quickly followed the direction she said and found the lounge where Esaki Suguha was.
To be honest, he was a little hesitant before knocking on the door.
Although Mine Shiori said on the phone that this was a separate lounge, it was prepared for girls after all.
If you go in like this, won't others misunderstand you if they see you?
While he was still thinking, the door to the lounge was opened from the inside.
Mine Shiori seemed not to have expected Haruno Sawayama to be standing at the door, and was startled by him as soon as he opened the door.
"Spring, Haruno."
Her face turned a little pale, and her little hands tightened her collar.
"Uh, I was just about to knock on the door."
"It's okay, I'm just too timid." Shiori Feng adjusted her breathing and smiled hard, "Haruno, go in first, I have to return the camera for Suguha."
"Oh, okay"
Sawayama Haruno took the initiative to make way and watched Feng Shiori leave.
He didn't enter the lounge until he couldn't see the back of the petite girl.
The room is not big, but there are surprisingly many things inside. Suguha Esaki, who has taken off his heavy armor, is sitting on a chair not far away with a glass of water.
"You're here."
When Haruno Sawayama came in, she took the initiative to say hello and said, "I borrowed the equipment for you. The set over there is clean."
Haruno Sawayama looked in the direction of her finger. It was a kendo armor for boys.
"The suit next to it belongs to me. I wonder if there is some sweat on it."
Esaki Suguha suddenly said: "Do you want to use that?"
"I can't even put it on."
"Too."
She smiled, took a sip from the water glass, and then asked curiously: "Haruno has never played kendo before, right?"
"I watched the video and saw the activities in the club when I was in high school."
Sawayama Haruno took a few steps forward, touched the armor and said casually: "But this is my first experience."
"It's very interesting."
Esaki Suguha didn't know what she was thinking of, and said with a smile: "Do you want to compete with me?"
".Do you still have physical strength?"
Sawayama Haruno glanced at the other party in surprise.
Esaki Suguha's strength can make up for the gender gap between the two. After all, he is just a beginner, while Esaki Suguha seems to be the type who has been immersed in it for a long time.
But the other party has been sparring intensively for almost an hour just now. Does he still have enough energy left to play with him? "There's a lot more, you can come for another hour."
Facing his doubts, Esaki Suguha said openly: "I didn't take it seriously just now, so my physical strength is still very good."
"Come on, let me teach you how to dress first."
With that said, she put down the water glass, picked up the boy's training uniform and strode forward.
After noticing this scene, Haruno Sawayama suddenly felt bad.
"Wait a minute, do you need to replace this thing too?"
"Of course."
Suguha Ezaki said matter-of-factly: "There are no people who practice kendo who don't wear hakama clothes like this. Besides, if you wear your current clothes and armor, wouldn't it be very troublesome if you sweat later?"
"That's what I said"
Sawayama Haruno opened his mouth.
But before he could finish speaking, Suguha Esaki, who was one step ahead of others, had already come up and grabbed the belt of his waist.
The tall girl's forward movements frightened Haruno Sawayama, and almost out of a conditioned reflex, he firmly grabbed Ezaki Suguha's hand.
"Wait a minute, I can do it myself."
Sawayama Haruno's face looked a little indescribably livid.
"You know how to wear something like this?"
Suguha Esaki glanced down at her little hand that was grabbed by the other party, and said thoughtfully: "The belt of the hakama suit is very complicated to tie. If it is not done properly, it may fall off inside when you step vigorously. "
"I can change it myself by following online tutorials." Haruno Sawayama emphasized.
Esaki Suguha said nothing, but there was a strong sense of distrust in her eyes.
But fortunately, in terms of strength, Haruno Sawayama seems to have the upper hand.
After a moment of stalemate, Esaki Suguha finally made a compromise.
She stuffed the hakama into Haruno Sawayama's arms, then took a few steps back and turned around again.
"Then you can change it yourself first. I'll tie the belt for you later."
".It's not that difficult, right?"
Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but muttered a few words.
However, in order to prevent Esaki Suguha from having another sudden whim, he chose to change clothes quickly after hesitating for a moment.
Fortunately, except for the belt, other parts of the hakama suit are very simple to put on.
After Haruno Sawayama changed all his clothes, Suguha Esaki turned around as if she had a telepathy.
"The belt needs to go around here, wrap it around, and it needs to be wrapped just right, neither tight nor loose."
After seeing Sawayama Haruno really starting to check how to tie the belt on her phone, she still took two steps forward and chose to help.
"Kendo is different from archery. Although the speed of kendo is very fast, large movements are definitely indispensable. If it is too loose and the clothes inside fall off, it will happen when the competition is fierce and you are knocked to the ground. Looks very embarrassing”
"If it is too tight, it will cause the abdomen to be constricted and breathing to be unnatural, and then it will be impossible to enter the state of unity of body and mind, which means that you will not be able to concentrate."
"Really?" Haruno Sawayama turned his head away unnaturally, "It sounds so professional."
Esaki Suguha was very close to him, and the faint fragrance of the girl was blowing towards him all the time.
Just looking down, you can see the other party's extremely white hands moving back and forth on the waist, giving you an inexplicable sense of charm.
But Sawayama Haruno knew very well that this guy really didn't think much about it.
It was purely because I wanted to quickly put on my armor and "play" with her.
Being too straight-tempered can really be a troublesome thing sometimes, Haruno Sawayama thought.
After all, such an appearance can easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings to others.
