Run with ME! (Haiji Kiyose X Reader)

Ouji Conquered Time!

"I'm really going to do my best, so thank you. For all things that mom and dad have done to me. I'll leave this tulip of mine so please take care of it for me. Then, I'll leave first. See you guys next year", I got up and bowed down the last time before walking off from the cemeteries.

"Ouji-senpai, how do you translate this sentence? They have hidden meanings that I can barely understand...", I pointed to a dialogue in the dialogue bubble. He glanced over to the page I opened up in front of him then went back to his own manga.

" 'There have been many chances where I failed to the point I feel like giving up' is what she meant. That part is where the heroine almost lost in her own battle with herself. Fighting yourself is the hardest part in life I suppose", he explained while maintaining his speed on the treadmill. Somehow, I could feel his distant feeling when he said 'fighting yourself'.

"I see... Well, that's true. The hardest enemy is our own self. But, with amazing friends as them, I'm sure you can do it. Ouji-senpai is the best prince I know. You'll definitely conquer the time!", I cheered him on. He had a thoughtful expression but he still nodded at my words. Checking the time on my wristwatch, I bend down to pick up my bag.

"I have to go home now. Practice made my body sore a bit, I have to do a lot of stretching after this...", I stretched out my arm to loose the numbness in my limbs. "Thank you for today. Then, see you later Ouji-senpai", I waved goodbye before leaving his room.

"Oh, you were here (Y/N)?", a voice spoke as I reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Nico-chan Senpai, ahh.. I stopped by to borrow the next volume from Ouji-senpai and got carried away ahaha...", I rubbed the back of my head. I end up spending 30 minutes extra than 5 minutes that I originally planned.

"I see, how's your training?", he asked as he walked into the kitchen. I followed him and stopped by the kitchen's entrance.

"It's fine, just feel a bit sore since I haven't been in the pool for two years so my muscles have to get used to the feelings. Enough about me, congratulations for getting your official time! I haven't congratulated King-san yet, will you pass him my message?", I congratulated him then asked for a favor.

"Thanks, and no problem. I'll tell him later", he smiled after gulping down the water.

"By the way, you guys were really tanned. I was shocked! Guess training really paid off, right?", I cocked an eyebrow with a smirk. Nico-chan laughed.

"You're right, King was also pretty proud of his latest interview. I'm really glad to run with this team. Of course, you too (Y/N)", Nico-chan grinned. I blinked a few times before bursting out in laughter.

"Pfft-! What's with that talk, you might turn to a real old man", I giggled, covering my laugh with one hand.

"Eh- you have to be kidding me!", he gasped with a shock face.

"Then, I'll go first. Don't start aging even more!", I walked off as Nico-chan lost in his thought of being the oldest one. Age is the problem that makes most people worried although we cannot avoid it.

My hand stopped stroking the pencil on the piece of paper as I processed Hana's words. "Are you serious Hana?", my eyebrows scrunched in total shock. Her smile didn't fade instead, become wider.

"Yep, I decided that I want to enroll into Kansei University. Because, (Y/N)-nee and the others are amazing! I want to be part of the team too and keep on supporting them. If I get into Kansei Uni, I can be the real manager!", Hana explained with a wide smile.
