The referee blew the whistle, signaling the beginning of the second half. Similar to the first half, Umi quickly marked Arae-san who received the ball from her teammate. “...Hello, sorry to bother you again.” “You’re so persistent.” “Yes, I am a somewhat persistent person.” During the first half, they double-teamed Arae-san, but now, they added a third defender. Since they pulled three people to defend her, the other two members had to deal with four people from Arae-san’s…- 362.1 K • Ongoing
After receiving the ball from Amami-san, Arae-san quickly cut into the enemy line by herself. Amami-san and the other teammates were also moving to support her, but she pretended that they didn’t exist, her eyes were only focused on the net. Seeing this, class 11 took advantage of it and sent both Nakamura-san and Umi to mark her. Umi could match her in terms of speed while Nakamura-san was taller than her. It took two of them to block her, but since she didn’t want to cooperate with the rest…- 362.1 K • Ongoing
- The practice started with a rather unsettling atmosphere. Both games of volleyball and basketball started at the same time and the girls were scattered around both courts. The basketball court had more spectators than the volleyball court though, probably because Amami-san was there. The match would last for two ten minute halves. The official rule for basketball was four quarters of ten minutes each, but if they were to abide by that rule, everyone would be exhausted, which was why they cut the time…

- The next day. An event that showed the difference in atmosphere between class 10 and 11 occurred. It happened during P.E. Since the class match was coming up, the students were supposed to gather according to the event they were going to participate in for a practice match. So the boys went to the field for soccer and softball while the girls stayed inside the gym for volleyball and basketball, or at least that was the plan. “It won’t stop raining…” I muttered to myself while…

- It seemed like the girls in class 2-11 were aware of my existence, Nakamura-san’s attitude proved that. It's just that I didn’t expect to receive this much attention. I assumed that those in the preparatory class would be more mature than the students from regular classes, but the number of eccentric girls here exceeded my expectations, including Nakamura-san. “Um, Nakamura-san? …I don’t think it’s okay for me to be here… I should just leave–” “Hehe don’t worry,…

- Normally, when we (mostly Umi) didn’t have any urgent business to take care of, we would go home together. We would meet up at places that were far away from our classrooms, so before this, I’ve never stepped into Umi’s class. According to her, she got along well with her classmates, the conversation they had back then was proof of this, but she never told me anything specific about her classmates. I knew that she would tell me if she had any problems, but as her boyfriend I was still curious…

- Since Nitori-san and Houjou-san agreed to dig up some information about Arae-san for me, all I needed to do was observe the situation. The next practice was scheduled to be held on Wednesday, the day after tomorrow, same time and place. I felt bad for inconveniencing them, but they said that they got to practice while coaching us, so it was fine. Apparently there were certain days that they couldn’t use the gym at their school and they had to practice on their own during those days. They could do that…

- After I joined in, the real practice could finally begin. Unlike Umi, I was a complete amateur at basketball, so they let me dribble before shooting the ball. “Ah…” “Alright, that’s a miss, Maehara-kun. Another set for you, Umi-chan.” “Fine… Maki, I’m okay, so don’t panic. Just focus.” “Y-yeah… Got it…” I remembered doing this in P.E. If I recall correctly, the trick to lay-ups was to aim at the corner of the inner box of the backboard. I received the ball…

- After that, we immediately contacted Nitori-san and Houjou-san. , they replied. And so it was decided that the training would start at 7pm. Considering that we would do a quite intense exercise, we only had a light meal at Umi’s house before we went to the park where we planned to meet. We had to pay 300 yen to use the park, but in exchange, we could use all the facilities they offered, including and not limited to the basketball ring, futsal field and tennis court. Various sports clubs and even…

- The next week after that small incident happened. Amami-san, who was our class’ representative, drew a lot for the class match. The results were, for softball, pur class 10 would be seeded in the first round. We were thankful for the fact that we would play one match less than the others, but we had to face Nozomu’s class in the same block, so honestly, I didn’t know if our luck was good or rotten. Nozomu’s class, class 4 would most likely win their first match and if that was the case,…
