Regarding my opening of the harem in the comprehensive world

"Shuu!"

"Hehe, I'll take it!"

Another pass, and if here managed to catch it, the extremely well placed Shuu could just shoot it, but the ball was intercepted by the other hand before it reached Shuu.

"Catch - move - it!"

Due to the lack of manpower in the return, the broken ball failed to make a basket.

"Heh..."

Not having landed firmly on the ground, he looked at Tsubaki Shuu, then shrugged back to his position.

"If you want kami, take advantage of it now, but you won't have that chance when the score is drawn."

"Damn it! That satin dwarf!" , Tsubaki gritted his teeth as he looked at the uncovered back.

"Next time, it won't be a mistake!" Shuu likewise said.

Immediately, the two shouted in unison to Jihana, "Jihana, please keep passing the ball to us later!"

"Well, um. I will." , Jihana nodded hesitantly.

Then, on the second goal, after the ball had been returned to HyeShin Elementary School, Chihuahua, as the point guard, passed the ball to the twins without hesitation this time.

However, even though the twins regrouped and attacked again, they were still not able to seize the opportunity to successfully steal and then score a basket in the same situation as the last one.

"But, damn it!!!"

"This time it was a mistake! Next time, it will definitely not be like that!!! It's just the Slate Valley!"

"Subaru-nii, what the hell...", in the blink of an eye, having lost two balls, Sae finally couldn't sit still and said to Subaru.

Subaru gestured to silence and pointed to the stage, gesturing for Saeki to continue watching.

Saji sat back down and looked at the field worriedly, praying in her heart.

Tsuboi Shuu, you guys have to work hard, it's about our uniforms and... my revenge....

Subaru, who was wearing an expression opposite to Sae's, also had a very different idea from Sae.

Tsubaki, Shuu, and Yami. Do your best. If you win, that's fine. If you lose, this will be an important lesson for you.

Chapter 269 - Subaru's Purpose

"It's mine!"

"What?!"

Once again breaking off the pass between the twins, not having passed the ball to a teammate, even though Tsubaki Shuu had gotten back in time this time, it still looked like she was too weak to face Shuu's attack.

"Damn it, what are you two doing?!" , Yami ran over, complaining somewhat disgruntledly.

"We..."

"They've clearly seen through your passes, don't just pass it to each other look at where the other teammates are too! So far me, Jihana, and Ally-san haven't gotten the ball hey!"

"I, I know..."

"Come on, guys."

Seeming to be able to understand the twins' current mood, Yami instructed and returned to her position.

"Sh, what the heck, it's just a temporary mistake, we'll get the score back later! Come on! Shuu!"

"Well! Let them have their way for a while, they won't be given another chance next!"

Pegasus gets the ball again, and after serving, Chihuahua carries the ball across half court.

After locking eyes with Subaru, who was off the field, and getting the OK, Chihwa passed the ball out.

"Yami!"

"Alright, finally my turn." , Yami caught the ball, and after a few casual dribbles, she just shot it.

The basketball fell into the net in response, and the Huixin Elementary School side got their first goal since the game started.

"Good shot! Yami!"

"Hmph...", Yami flicked her hair. "So what if I can see through Tsubaki and Shuu's passes, it's enough to have me."

"Cut." , didn't tsk. "Aya! You guard her! Don't give her a chance to make a move!"

"Yes, yes!" , the girl known as Aya replied, swapping places with Yami's defenders.

"Che, switched with a taller one."

"Yami!" , Jihana managed to break up a ball and immediately passed it to Yami.

Yami caught the ball and grunted.

"But it's no use!"

"Won't let you get away with it!"

Snap!

As Yami jumped, a taller figure appeared in front of her, and the ball Yami threw changed trajectory for a split second, hitting the ground hard.

"How, how did..."

It was as if Yami was petrified and fixed in place, watching as she managed to break through to the basket with the ball and score.

"...It's not over yet!"

........

The winner, it's already clear....

Subaru wrapped his arms around the field in silence. At his insistence, Jihana's group played the first and second periods consecutively, and after a break in the third period, they took the field again in the final period.

Even though how Saji's group had tied the score in the third quarter, Yanaya had still opened up a large gap with Huishin. And now, in the last few minutes of the game, it was clear that several people's energy couldn't hold up.

"Shuu!"

"Come, come!"

Faced with a pass from Jihana, Shuu reluctantly runs forward and tries to organize the attack again.

"Yami!"

"Well!"

Yami replied, holding out her hand ready to catch the ball.

"Then I'll be glad to!"

A figure appeared in the path of the basketball and managed to block it.

"Damn it." , Yami gritted her teeth and tried to take a step towards not chasing after her.

Compared to the beginning, the gym had been much quieter, everyone could almost see the end of the game, and were wondering why Huixin Elementary School didn't make a personnel move.

The most puzzled were the other members of the girls' basketball club.

After watching the game for a while longer, Manami ran up to Subaru, "Subaru! What are you doing? Let's get on, Tsubaki and the others clearly don't have the stamina!"

"Subaru-chan, if we let our second team play now, we might still have a chance.", Saeki also said. , Saji also said.

"No." , Subaru shook his head. "It's fine just like that, besides, the second team of Yamiya has been resting for a long time, so even if you guys go on hope is very slim."

"I don't understand hey! Subaru! That's weird! Why didn't you let us play in the second quarter! Why didn't Tomohana just pass the ball to Tsubaki Shuu and Masami? Why-"

"Makifan." , Saji tugged at her shirt. "Let me say it."

"Did Subaru-niichan make this arrangement to teach Tsubaki Shuu and Yami, who looked arrogant because of two victories, a lesson with defeat?"

"Saji, you can see that."

"Well, I guessed it roughly from the beginning when Subaru-niichan adjusted his staff."

"Then why don't you stop me, I'll have to give Chihika my full attention if I say so, right?" , Subaru asked curiously.

"Because I think Subaru-niichan is doing the right thing, and most importantly, I believe that Subaru-niichan's approach will get results."

"What what? What are you talking about?" , Manifan asked with a curious face.

"Shut up first, True Sail, and listen to what Subaru-san has to say."

"Oh..."

"Saji's right." , Subaru smiled. "Tsubaki, Shuu, and Yami are indeed overconfident, and this confidence of theirs stems from their initial victory, among which there is also the reason why they were beaten by you, in short, after going through such a painful defeat, the joy of this victory of making the opponent into a miserable defeated side through their own efforts overwhelmed their minds."

"So that's also oh...", Manabu tilted his head and knocked his head with his hand. "I clearly warned the Tsubaki Shuu Satin Dwarfs that they still had a bit of strength, but they didn't seem to care, and then they got snapped - no, so you were planning to lose this match from the start, Subaru?!"

"No, if the three of them can beat Ink Valley we can still win the championship but... well, that's basically it, I'm sorry I didn't tell you beforehand, it doesn't matter if we get second place in a friendly match, our goal is always the national competition, and at that time, when we meet Ink Valley again, we'll be No mercy will be shown."

"But it sure still sucks to lose a friendly match." , Makifumi crossed his arms. "Making that satin dwarf look divine again makes me cringe just thinking about it. Besides, we were already looking forward to the champion's reward say..."

"Well, we'll definitely meet them at Nationals, so rest assured, I'll make sure you succeed in your revenge then."

"That's about right! In the future, we must come up with an even more impressive training program and beat them to the punch at nationals!"

"No problem!"

Actually, there was a more important reason.

Subaru looked at the field and thought silently.

The current girls' basketball club wasn't united, there was still an invisible barrier between the sixth year and fifth year students, and they wouldn't be able to go far in the national tournament in such a state, and they might be brushed off in the first round, which was the last thing Subaru wanted to see, after witnessing the little girls' hard work for a whole year, he didn't want their efforts to be wasted.

So, he left it completely in Tsubaki Shuu and Yami's hands. The remorse, resentment, and anguish of defeat...these emotions, with the comfort of the sixth year, would dissolve the invisible wall between them, and could make the girls' basketball club truly become a whole.

And...Subaru's mouth was agape.

Who said there were no prizes for runners-up?

Chapter 270 - A Match Without Losers

"Beep~! 54 to 32! Ink Valley Girls Academy wins!"

The referee blew his whistle and pronounced the result.

"Me, we lost?" , Tsubaki stared blankly at the scoreboard.

"How did..."

"Hey! Wasn't it just a moment ago that you were pretty godly, and now you're fighting like this, it's lame!" , not having crossed his arms, he mocked the defeated men.

"No! Come to the assembly!"

"Yes!"

Receiving the coach's call, without answering a word, she looked at Tsubaki and Shuu once again and shrugged off with a grunt.

The little girls stood there in frustration, the data on the scoreboard seemed like a loud slap on their face.

Subaru clapped his hands as he walked onto the field, "Well, good job everyone, we lost, but don't be discouraged, we have to find the shortcomings from this game and make up for it, that way we'll be able to beat Inkani at the national competition."

"Subaru-san, I'm sorry...", Jihana said sadly with her head down.

Subaru shook his head and interrupted her, "Jihana, let's start with the tournament wrap-up meeting."

A few minutes later, the women's basketball club reassembled inside the common room, one by one, with their heads distracted like defeated roosters.

"Ahem, I'm going to start by reporting everyone's stats." , Subaru took out a notebook and read it in a dignified manner.

"Sage, 5 shots, 3 goals, 2 assists. True Sail, 8 shots, 4 goals, 3 assists..."

Because the second team had only played one period, each had very few stats, but the hit rate was decent.

Subaru paused for a moment and continued, "Yami, 24 shots, 3 goals, 0 assists.

Tsubaki, 10 shots, 2 goals, 2 assists.

Shuu, 15 shots, 4 goals, 1 assist.

Tomohana, 0 shots, 0 goals, 3 assists.

Ally, 0 shots, 0 goals, 3 assists. Above, that's our match stats. As for the other stats, I have no record."
