“…… It's almost time, are you ready to go to Yoyogi Park? ”

After taking Nao Kosaka to do the old-fashioned routine of washing, praying, and hanging emas in the Meiji Shrine, when he walked out of the shrine, Osono Yoshi saw that it was almost the time agreed with Miho Watanabe, so he talked to the girl next to him.

"—Huh? You don't have to eat lunch...... I'm going to be hungry......"

Kosaka is worried about hunger, but in fact, he is just greedily wanting to prolong some more alone time.

“…… It's okay, just buy a hot dog on the road? ”

Oyuan didn't understand the amorous feelings, but he was worried that he would leave a bad impression if he was late for the first meeting, so he dragged Kosaka's hand and ran in small steps.

"Really, that's how I want to see Miho-chan......"

The girl complained quietly, but the hand that could be held could gradually feel the temperature of the crossing - unlike her, who was usually cold in her hands and feet, Yoko Ozono was always warm like a little sun like her usual personality, so she was always happy to be held like this.

- It's really just because it's warm.

……

……

"Ah, has it arrived?"

When I arrived at the court, it was still about ten minutes early, and there was already a figure on the court practicing shooting - probably because of the weekday afternoon, the court that used to be lively and lively on weekends in the past was actually vacated, as if it was specially reserved for their girls.

"-Hmmm."

It was the time to speak, and it was a hollow blow into the net, which caused Kosaka next to him to shout "so handsome......", but it slightly aroused Oyuan's competitiveness.

“…… No, I've just arrived. ”

Despite the reply, Watanabe's gaze never moved from the dancing basketball - judging from her smile, she really loved it.

"——Yo-chan, kosaka, hello~"

On the bench on the side, a voice suddenly called his name, and Ozono realized that just like he had brought Kosaka with him, Watanabe had also brought his own "group of relatives and friends" - it was Akari Dansheng and Miku Kanemura, who also belonged to the Saitama trio.

“…… Ah, nibu-chan, Kanemura-san...... You're here too. ”

Like Kosaka, Dansheng is the girl on the other side of him at the time of the audition, and he is relatively not so strange; And Mijiu Kanemura's words, because she doesn't live in the dormitory, she doesn't have a chance to talk, and because she always feels a little cold because of her appearance, she always feels that she is not easy to approach......

“…… Call me miku or small sushi......"

The difference in the title really made the girl mind, she nodded and smiled at herself, first introducing herself.

- When I laugh, it's silly and cute, which is quite similar to Kosaka.

Immediately after, the girl's gaze fell on Yosho Ozono is hand holding Kosaka, and her tone was a little subtle.

"-Yo-chan, you have a good relationship with Kosaka...... Sure enough, we've been together all the time? ”

"Ahaha, yes, yes, because it's a neighbor......"

Da Yuanyang was a little embarrassed, he had been in the circle of girls since he was a child, and his mind was a little more detailed, so he naturally smelled a hint of ridicule, so he diverted the topic.

“…… So, I'll warm up first? ”

He let go of Kosaka's hand and moved left and right.

"Sauce, come on......"

The girl next to her clenched her little fists, with a serious expression, like her own support group, seriously refueling.

“…… What? ”

Obviously there were no intimate actions and words, but Kosaka's movements seemed to poke his shyness, making him quickly blush his cheeks. Even he felt that he was a little too suspicious in front of Kanemura and the others.

- With this sense of déjà vu, wouldn't I have to do my best!

……

……

"-You want to go up?"

I have to say that in the face of Watanabe Miho's aggressive attack, he doesn't concentrate on defense, and he may not be able to play, not to mention the skillfulness of dribbling, it can be seen from those few spying steps that "I have practiced basketball for ten years" is not a lie.

- It's a pity that I ran into myself with a natural advantage.

"-Smack."

Just as he was stunned, the girl changed direction and flew past her side—the speed was indeed fast, but not to the point where he couldn't react. It's just that since it's been passed, it's better to let her go.

“…… Hey, you're putting water in again. ”

Miho Watanabe, who scored the first point in the goal, did not have any joy on her face.

"I obviously didn't need it."

"But ......"

Despite Watanabe's words, Hiroshi Osono hadn't decided whether to let the three people in the audience on that side know his and her secrets - after all, the fewer people who knew, the better, okay?

"-Yo-chan! Go for it! ”

In the distance, the voice of Kosaka was heard.

“…… Can nao-chan make such a loud noise......"

Thinking about it in such an unexpected way, he turned his head and saw Nao Kosaka waving his little fist as if no one was around, cheering himself up, and rarely amplified some sounds, a slightly hoarse voice that he had never heard before.

"-It's okay, they're all trustworthy contemporaries."

Miho Watanabe handed the ball back to him, and her eyes smiled into a good-looking curve, revealing a narrow smile that looked like the boys in the class who always liked to make scandals when she was in middle school.

“…… After all, you can't let your kosaka down. ”

“…… What? ”

Dayuan was complaining, but the moment he took the ball, he put on a completely serious offensive posture.

"—If you say that, I must be serious!"

……

……

"-20 to 2!"

Dansheng Akari, who was in charge of scoring on the side, was a little dumbfounded - although Watanabe had told them before he came that it was the foreign sauce that released water on the show at that time, but this was also ...... It's a bit outrageous!

Since Watanabe scored the first goal, Ozono, who has become serious, has not let her score a single goal - not even, not even a decent shot.

"Whew, Whew......"

"-The last ball."

Watanabe Miho gasped, looking at the big garden in front of him, who was only sweating a little, and Yu Yu smiled and chatted with himself, sighing in his heart - what kind of monster is this? It's almost at the same level as the boys' basketball players in my school who occasionally come to spar...... If she had been studying in Tokyo, the prefectural assembly would have had something else to do.

"- Hey! Over there! Come on! ”

At this time in the competition, she was the eldest in the Saitama group, and subconsciously regarded Kanemura and Dansheng not far away as juniors in her school.

"-Miho-chan, come on!!"

Stunned for a moment, the two also chanted very cooperatively.

Kanemura Mijiu shouted like this, while her eyes slightly moved to Nao Kosaka, who was sitting next to him, and sighed softly in her heart-Originally, I still wanted to let Miho-chan kill the majesty of this big garden in the basketball that she is good at. I didn't expect ...... It's such a strong character.

Although Kosaka was embarrassed to work hard from the big lead, but now looking at her silent and the stars flashing in her eyes, Kanemura felt that he was a little farther away from this cute girl.

- Damn! Originally, it was a girl who wanted to have a good relationship...... The temperament is good-looking and good-looking! It's a pity......

She set her eyes on Yoko Ozono, who was dribbling the ball very casually - although she was reluctant to admit it, she ...... It does seem to be quite handsome, right?

"—here it is."

Turning around, Dayuan's wrist flicked slightly, and he easily sent the ball into the basket - although it was the other party who didn't let him let go of the water, he was also a little embarrassed to play the score like this. After all, with the same talent and amount of practice, the gender gap is too big.

“…… 22 to 2. ”

With the background sound of Dansheng's production, the game is over.

"Whew, Whew......"

Osono looked at Miho Watanabe, who was holding her knees and lowering her head, trying to adjust her breathing, and felt a little regret in her heart - could it be that she directly shattered the basketball dream of an athletic girl, right? Why don't you quietly tell her about her gender and make her feel that she has lost less wrongfully......

"Miho-chan, I'm sorry...... However, it doesn't feel good to always release water......"

He tentatively stretched out his hand, a little apprehensive in his heart - after all, no matter how positive a person is, he can't be motivated by being beaten like this in the field he thinks he is good at.

“……”

Sure enough, the girl didn't take his outstretched hand, but stood up on her own. Dayuan also realized that the other party's face was a little pale because of excessive exercise. At the same time, I don't know if it's his delusion, but he always feels that the tip of Watanabe's nose is a little red.

“…… You, you're strong. ”

"Hahaha, over there in Kagoshima, the environment is relatively harsh......"

He tried to ease the awkward atmosphere with a joke, but seeing that the corners of Watanabe's mouth did not rise, it should have had little effect.

"Miho-chan, you don't have to take it to heart...... You may not know, but I've been playing basketball for 12 years, two years more than Miho-chan, so after two years, Miho-chan can ...... like me."

"-Yo-chan."

The train that was running with his mouth full was ruthlessly interrupted by Watanabe, which made Osono very nervous: Won't he really retire on the spot? Then my sin will be great......

In the next second, the hand that he didn't have time to withdraw was held tightly - unlike Kosaka's gentle and gentle holding, Watanabe Miho held it tightly with both hands, but it hurt him......

"Miho-chan ......?"

He looked at the girl in front of him and raised his head, revealing the eyes that were hidden behind his bangs just now because he kept his head down, which was actually the same as the high fighting spirit before the game - rather, a little more enthusiastic. It's just that the eye circles are slightly red, which is always concerning.

“…… Yang-chan, can you help me with special training? ”

“…… Ha? ”

"Basketball training."

Miho Watanabe repeated it again, her gaze unusually firm, so that he couldn't refuse.

"I want basketball to be my real stunt."

“……”

Da Yuanyang scratched his head with one hand with a little distress - is this considered a good one, leading a good idol to a strange place, ......? However, not to mention the fiery eyes, just to say that he was holding the hand tightly and couldn't get out, he could only agree.

"yes, yes."

“…… That, Yo-chan is my teacher. ”

On a clear autumn day, Da Yuanyang inexplicably had an apprentice who was obviously at the same time and a few months older than himself.
