"Raaaah! Wait up! I'm so gonna get you!"
I hear You roaring from behind me.
When that happens...
My body starts to run on its own.
Tap tap tap tap, the light footsteps of my dashing ring out.
I run.
Even though I wasn't planning to.
My body just reacted by irself.
Hehehe.
This is how it always is, huh?
These sudden games of tag with You.
Whether it's on the way home
In the hallways at school
In the courtyard while we're eating lunch
I never get to choose the time or place.
But, always...
"Oh! Found you!! I foud you, Kanan! There's no escape! Lock on, steady as she goes!"
The moment You shouts that,
That's when it begins.
Once You starts running over, I immediately react.
I run without looking back.
You's a fast runner, so when this happens, the starting moments are vital!
For the time being, I have to move my feet at top speed,
and I run.
Once I think I've hit top speed, I turn around for just a little bit, and I see...
You...
she's got a wide smile
and she's happily running along.
"Hold on! I'm so gonna get you!" she says.
But, looking at her face and feet, it's clear she's definitely not running seriously.
Hehehe.
That's when I thought that right now, You and I must be feeling the same way.
When we're running, we share an emotion that's hard to express in words.
And that must be the same thing we feel as Aqours when we're dancing together.
Hey, You, I hope we'll get to run and smile together into the new year, too.
