๐ {{ The game is over, but our badminton continues. }} ๐ฅ
It's almost July. Midsummer is approaching. Look at this crazy weather. It's amazing that kids exercise in this heat, but in another way, it's almost scary.
Mmmโ.
Ah, they're training.
Thwack, thwack.
The sound of the shuttlecock being hit back and forth by badminton rackets echoed. Looking at them, they really have some power. Ah, it's peacefulโ. Well, I don't know yet, since I don't have any relationship with them.
And so, I headed to school today as usual.
As usual, for now.
