For Some Reason, the School Goddess Likes to Hang Out at My House
Episode 20 Strange... (Rin's Perspective)
― ― A sports festival against class.
My competition is basketball.
I plan to participate in almost every event, but now it's the first round.
All matches are also in tournament format, and with the enthusiasm of the supporters, it is a very important match.
Because if you lose, that's it.
The two days of the sports festival will be free in a way....
That's why it's so exciting.
Well, it seems that there are other priorities for opening shops at cultural festivals.
Anyway.
That's why I can't lose.
I understand, but why?
Today I... can't get what I want.
Everything will be in the back.
Yes, just like now--
"Ahhh! Wakamiya-san took it off again!!"
When my chute comes off the ring, I hear that voice in the gallery.
People around me started to respond and said, "Why?!?!?".
People in the same glass, people in different classes, say, "Why?"," It's unusual ~ ", but my eyes look like they're sparkling and nasty.
... I want you to be a little quiet.
I don't normally care about such noises... but today I hated them so much that it resonated in my head.
Even myself... I know.
I've been pulling my legs for a while.
I know you're about to lose because of me...
Why is it so hot?
As if walking in the desert, you're breathing and thirsty.
The irritability you've never felt before, no matter how many deep breaths you take, doesn't calm you down.
--- The vision is narrow.
--I 'm distracted.
Why would you do that?
Why would you do that?
This has never happened before...!
I received the ball from my classmates and when I dribbled, I was quickly robbed of it.
The chute will be fixed and the difference will open further.
Sports festivals don't take time like regular basketball games.
It is a short time of twenty minutes per game.
That's why catching up in time is getting tougher.
That's why I have to do something...
Showa hasn't come to support you, so you're not feeling well?
No, it's not.
I have no such sweetness.
Of course I want you to support me.
Something I saw in the morning is shaking me.
But I don't want to bother him with his work.
So to me, such upset is the ultimate problem...
My goal-- after the game is over, "I was great!"and report it with a smile... and get compliments.
If you stroke your head and say, "Wow, you did your best," that's all I'm happy with.
That's what I thought, and I put in the mood.
Why can't I do what I always do?
I receive the ball from my allies and push the defense with a dribble.Then we stopped the drill, took a backstep, and then we hit the jump chute.
The other party's defense in a hurry... that way, you won't get a notification.
I am free and have plenty of room.
That's why there's no need to get upset.
But... my chute got hit by a ring.
A cheerful gymnasium is a different way of showing excitement.
On the floor, the ball rolled lonely.
... why?
Why, again?
I can't wipe out my doubts.
Your feet are as heavy as lead, and you may feel uncomfortable with your mind or body.
I was covered in a feeling of resistance running underwater.
"Hey, who is he?"
The noisy gymnasium with that voice gradually turns into something different from cheering.
When I tried to pick up the ball without paying attention, someone picked it up in front of me.
And when he raised his face in a hurry--
"Come on, Rin. It's a ball."
My favorite figure jumps into my sight.
While I was writing my penis, I smiled with a clumsy smile.
"Um, well, thank you..."
Showa's appearance, which I didn't have just now, is what I'm going to say.
I'm glad you came...
But on the other hand —— it feels bitter.
This is what it looks like.
I didn't want to show him.
It's not cool, it's pathetic, it's not like me.
That's what I'm seeing--
So I turned my back as soon as I received the ball.
"Well... I'll go to the game."
"Wait a minute. Forgot something."
"Forgotten something? I had one of those -- Yikes!?"
Looking back with doubt, something cold hits my cheek.
The sudden surprise and screaming brought us closer and closer.
Curious gaze, jealous gaze, stunned gaze... those various eyes stare at me and Showa.
Even though there was a lot of noise just now, this place was quiet as if time had stopped.
Showa casually hides a bag of ice in her hand behind her.
Then, "This response has been soft... hahaha" made my face convulse.
That face and this atmosphere are funny.
"Pu... ahaha..."
And I accidentally laughed.
"Don't laugh... I don't want to"
"I'm laughing. Silence got interesting."
"It's okay... there you go. The game is stopped... it's gone."
Showa put his hand down and urged me to come back.
"Let's have lunch later... Don't be nervous, Rin will be fine."
When Showa says that, he panicks around, lowers his head, and then retreats.
And as soon as I got back behind the gallery, I couldn't see him.
... you don't like to stand out.
Showa really...
Don't be nervous. Rin will be fine. "
His words gently enter my chest, bringing a sense of calm and exhilaration.
--Petchin '!!
The sound of tapping on your cheeks sounds and your surroundings are tingling.
Bullshit words and attitudes in energizing situations.
Did you go all the way out of the rescue tent with the ice in it?
The cold feeling in my cheeks cooled my hot head.
I see...
Showa was right. I was apparently nervous.
Certainly, I've never done anything in sports before.
"... Rin?"
"I was worried, but I'm fine now!My eyes have finally become patchy.My vision is good now.Please don't run around and rest! "
"... yes, that's good."
Kenno-chan stared me in the face, and then she gave me a trick.
"... your head seems cold, right?I went a little too far on my own. "
Yes!
"... hah. Do you really understand?"
"Of course."
When she shrugged her shoulders, she pushed my back and said, "... if you don't fly, you won't make it."
I nod back with a smile.
Looking at the gallery where he disappeared, he seemed to be watching in a critical position from here.
Now I can do my best again.
Well... after this game, we'll have dinner with him.
Then I thanked Showa.
But I'm sure he always says "brokerage.”
"... Rin, the ball"
"Yes!!"
Now I'm going to hit three with the two people in front of me.
As if the play you just played was a lie, the ball drew its own arc and circled the ring.
The classmates who see it, and the people who support it, begin to thrive all at once.
"... Nice shot. You're doing great."
"Of course! I'm going to bang from afar to catch up ~!"
"... hey, hey! If you say that, you'll find out about the operation!"
"It's okay, I don't feel like losing anymore!"
Even though there was a difference, the difference narrowed.
The venue has been further boosted to increase mood.
—— Results.
It was close, but it was a stunning victory!
