Volume 1 - CH 62

“───What do you think of Koyomi?”

Lunch break during the tournament.

After the morning matches, class 4 and 7 had successfully made it to the finals. It was the men’s final right after the women’s final. By the way, the 4th class(our class) is in the women’s final.

And Iseda called out to me and we both meet like this.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Fuh, it’s not like you don’t understand what I’m saying right? I’m trying to steal something from you right now. So I thought I would at least confirm your feelings.”

“Will anything change even if I answer that?”

“The result won’t change……..but it might change my mood.”

Iseda showed a fearless smile while saying that.

“…………….To be really honest I don’t know…..”

“Haahhh……That again, huh…….”

“But, it was definitely different to what it was before. Even though I can feel it inside me, I don’t know what emotion this is. It might be love…….perhaps.”

“Ha, haah?”

“Whether I have romantic feelings for Koyomi or not, it doesn’t change the fact that she is important to me. I won’t hand her over to you.”

“You alone………………….cannot be allowed to do that……..I’m way more, worthy……..”

“Eh?”

Iseda whispered something with a dark expression while looking down but I couldn’t really hear it very clearly.

“No, it’s nothing. Try your best.”

After he said that, Iseda went ahead.

I also left that place and went over to the female gymnasium.

Akira and the others were beckoning me to join them.

“You’re lateeeeー”

“Sorry, sorry………”

It looks like the match is about to begin. It looks like our class have a slight lead in the match, with Momoyama and Koyomi being very active in the game.

“Whoa, Shizuku’s done it again!”

“Momoyamaー! Keep it upー!”

“Do your bestー”

I followed in the cheers and supported them too.

As I was doing this, the whistle blew and It seemed to be halftime.

Everyone went to drink their water and wiped their sweats off.

“Ah, Kouyou! Did you come to watch!?”

Koyomi called out to me when she noticed me.

“Nnー, yeah. I just came a while ago.”

“I seeー, then I’m going to earn some points in the second half, so watch properly okay!?”

“Un, good luck.”

As I said that while patting her head, she giggled happily and went back to the court.

“Koyomi! Do your best!”

“Un!”

◇◇◇

“Good work, Koyomi…….”

“Un……”

Koyomi and I are sitting together in a secluded spot behind the gym.

The conclusion is that they lost. It was a sudden comeback.

Koyomi’s condition rose in the game. But, the other side also became more enthusiastic due to that.

When the game was almost over, Koyomi and the others had a 3 point lead.

The ball went to Koyomi. It was at this point that Koyomi’s condition, which had been on the rise, exploded.

She fell down.

After that, the other team took the ball that fell down and made a last minute comeback which resulted in the loss of our class.

“Haah………it’s embarrassingー! To fall at such a crucial moment, it’s going to be a lifelong disgrace~!”

Koyomi hide her bright red face with both of her hands.

“Koyomi, you did your best…….”

“Re, really……….?”

“Un, you did very well……….you looked very attractive you know.”

“Is, is that true?”

“Un. Of course, you are cute too though.”

“Hyah, Ko, Kouyou……….if you say that so suddenly, that’s unfair……….”

Koyomi did actually worked her hardest.

She scored more points than Momoyama in the second half.

The fact that they could come so far was thanks to Koyomi.

There’s no one could complain to Koyomi in this kind of condition.

And, her figure was very charming at the match.

“Then, then……….to console me, can you hug me……..?”

“Yes, yes. No problem.”

As she said that, I hugged Koyomi tightly.

Her body is as slender as ever and soft as usual. I then stroked her head.

“Fuah, Fuawawaa………….”

“Fufu, what is with that voice you’re making.”

“Kouyou is so proactive today…….”

“Koyomi is the one who told me to do this right.” (TLN:I pray for this sugary atmosphere to continue and the thorns in their way to be eradicated.)

“Even so, for Kouyou to hug me like this is rare! This is more aggressive than usualー”

“Fufu, Un. You might be rightー……….”

“Kouyou?”

“Nn?”

“Please avenge me…….”

“Your opponent wasn’t class 7 right.”

“That’s not it!”

“Please cheer for me later.”

“I will! I will give you the world’s best cheer!”

“I see……..Then I will do my best.”

“Un!”

And after that, we separated our body. Koyomi’s face was dyed with redness, she was smiling.

Soon, the warm-ups and such will begin.

I have to get going soon.

“Then, see you later.”

“Un, good luck!”

“Yeah.”

Then, I parted ways with Koyomi and went to the court.

Everyone have already gathered and they have began their warming up sessions.

After completing the exercises, I joined in the passing game.

And so─────

“We will now begin the finals. Line up, both teams.”

Both teams line up in a row to shake hands.

My opponent was, of course, Iseda.

“Shake hands!”

I shook Iseda’s hands.

His face was plastered with a fake smile.

“Please treat me well okay? Kouyou-kun!” (TLN: )

“What a customer service smile you have there.”

As they separated from each other and got into position, the starting whistle was blown loudly.

This is how it ends, but I’m not going to describe the match in detail. I’m just going to chop up the last part.
