I’m Gonna Live with You Not Because My Parents Left Me Their Debt But Because I Like You

Along with the whistle at the end of the first half, the hot air that had accumulated in the lungs was slowly exhaled.Is this the final of the tournament?You gotta be kidding me. Even if they say it's the National Games finals, I believe you.

You don't have time to blink, you shift your eyes.A desperate voice from athletes running their coats vertically and horizontally.The cheers sent to them are "Don't lose, do your best."Me, Shinji, and Otsuki-san also continued to support me with a throat-climbing momentum.

Nice game.Is the first half mutually reinforcing?

"I don't know.Although the difference is not open in terms of score, it may be more advantageous for Yuki's class.Everyone's experienced. "

Different capabilities as a team.That might be a good way to describe it.Even if there were two prominent people named Nikaido of Basketball Ace and Kaede-san of the trump card (Joker), they were inferior to Yuki's class as a team.Rather, what would have happened if they weren't together?

"In the second half, there may be more differences with the experienced.Then our class might be tough..... "

"Don't say that, Sin-kun!You'll be okay if you pity Maple!?That's right, Josie!

Otsuki asks with a crying face.I know how Shinji feels when she looks in trouble.In the first half, we managed to bring each other in, but in the second half, differences in athletes' local abilities, such as skill and physical strength, are reliably influenced.In that case, our class's struggle is imperative.When I looked at the court, I saw that the operation meeting was over or that Nikaido was leaving the venue alone.

I met Maple who took a deep breath.I waved my hand cheerfully with a smile, so I gave it back.At this rate, Mr. Maple (...) is fine.There's still room. Is the problem that way?

"I'm sorry, both of you.I'm going to the bathroom.I'll be back before the game starts!

"Hey, Josie!? I didn't hear the answer!?

Mr. Otsuki, I'll come back and answer your questions.In order for our class to win, we need to send inspiration to the troubled Ace.



Ace was found immediately.Even standing alone behind the gymnasium, Nikaido or Kaede-san will become a picture like a cut photo.

"What are you doing here, Nikaido?Isn't it time to start in the second half?

"--- Yoshizu!? Why are you here?

"After all, I saw Nikaido leave the gym alone.I thought you might be depressed, so I came to encourage you. "

The expression of Nikaido nowadays seemed unusual and sad.I don't think you've given up the game yet, but did you feel the difference in strength as a team in the first half of the offensive?By that time, Ji-chan and I will be strong enemies.

"That's right. Is it correct that it was more than I imagined?I was surprised because I had a very high level of practice as a team.I managed the first half, but the second half might be honest. "

"I don't think so. I can't believe you're whispering."

"... my eyes... you're asking me."Let's have more fun".She has plenty of room to enjoy the game.I don't have it. "

Shit, Nikaido slaps his feet and bites his lips.As a sports player, I know how painful Nikaido is.

I told you to enjoy the game, but that's what you can do because you can afford it.If you can't afford it, the things in front of you are too much.Then how can I afford it?It is when there is confidence supported by the amount of practice and the difference in strength with the opponent.That's why Nikaido regrets it.But I deny it.Because,

"Isn't it because you believe in your team?Everyone else will do their best, even if they can't.So I enjoy confronting respected seniors.That's what I think. "

Fore the Team. What can the team do to win?With that in mind, I think Yuki is coming to the game.That's why they have room and enjoy a serious confrontation with Nikaido.

"I'm too upset by myself, Nikaido.Look around.Mr. Maple is still alive.Everyone else does.I don't think anybody's given up yet, huh?And what if Ace gives up? "

"... Yoshizu"

"Trust your people. Trust Mr. Maple.And trust yourself.If you can't do that... that's right.I believe Nikaido will be fine. Trust me!You mean? "

It is embarrassing of me to say such a dialogue.But if I don't say this much, I can't get the Nikaido back up close to the bottom.I wish my words had that much power.

"... fufu. For Yoshizu's sake... Pupu.That's cool. "

"Hey, don't laugh there.What's next, what's next!You tried to cheer me up!?

"Fufu, I know.Thank you, Yoshizu. You're right, I was so upset.I just wanted to say that it's okay now... one thing, will you please listen to me for yourself?

Selfish is unusual for Nikaido.I don't care what I can do.Unless somebody wants to "live with you."

"Fufu, it's easy.You know, Yoshimizu... just now.Just for now... can you call me "pathetic"?

"... yes?

"Just now! Just call me by my name and say good luck... well... if you tell me... well, I think I'll be able to do my best!

Nikaido puts his hand on his chest and appeals with his face bright red.Without a heart or eyes, you can see a faint glow.It's not the usual prince, it's like a puppy asking you to stroke me.

"I see... just for now, right?Good luck, pity. "

"One more time. Just one more time, please."

"... good luck, pathetic.Don't lose. Good luck. "

Nikaido quietly closed his eyes and listened to my words as if he were biting.Repeated deep breathing twice or three times to calm the mind.

"... yeah. Thank you very much.Thanks to you, I think I can do my best. Instead, it might be the best play I've ever had. "

It's pretty simple.I would like to say that I will support you every time, but it would be helpful if you made this clear.

"Fufu, don't worry.I selfish selfish seldom say so. "

"I still can't feel safe about that!?

"Well, I've been well, so I guess it's time to go back.Just keep an eye on my work, will you?

"I know. I'm counting on you, basketball ace?

"Let me handle it! Yoshizu's support won't be in vain!

Then, there was no sense of sadness in the face of the Nikaido, and it was the usual Nikaido that was full of confidence and sparkling.

"Well... I'll come back, too.We need to support Mr. Maple. "
