Our class was very excited about the sudden basketball match between Kaede and Nikaido. The court was supposed to be split in half so that the boys could play at the same time, but before we knew it, it was changed to a full court game. Was that really okay? 

“Eh, which one are you rooting for, Yuya?”

As usual, I was standing from the edge of the court with Shinji while waiting for the match to begin. As we were watching the two camps forming a circle and proceeding with a strategy meeting, Shinji suddenly asked  me. 

“What do you mean?” 

“I guess there wasn’t any need to ask that.” 

“It has to be Kaede, right? Don’t bother asking.” 

“Haha. Well, that’s true. No matter how much Hitotsuba-san tries, I don’t think she will be able to beat Nikaido, but if her Yuya-kun supports her, there might be a chance.” 

Shinji laughed as he said this. Kaede used to always cheer for me, but I rarely get a chance to cheer for her. I never thought such a day would arrive when I would be cheering for her in gym class. And that too against Nikaido, so I was in a much inferior position. 

“Huh-uh. No, you’re wrong, Yoshi. You’ve misjudged Kaede’s abilities!” 

“Why is Otsuki-san here? Is the match going okay?” 

“That’s a wild question, Yoshi! Do you think I can interfere in a battle between two superhumans!? If you ask me, their confrontation is like Lancelot Albion versus the Guren SEITEN Eight Elements! I’m just an ordinary person, and I’ll only slow them down!” 

[TN: The references used belong to Code Geass.]

He used the name of the mecha as an exquisitely incomprehensible analogy. There was more where that came from. It was like Son Goku versus Vegeta. But that was not important right now. Was Kaede really that great? 

“It’s not just amazing! Yoshi may have never seen her before, but Kaede is very athletic! In last  year’s ball game, no one could stop her until she sprained her foot in the first round!” 

“… Seriously?”

I turned serious! I looked at Kaede standing on the court as I listened to Otsuki shouting excitedly. She was standing in the center of the court, facing Nikaido with a jump ball. Nikaido was slightly taller than her, but was she really– 

Scree—–! 

Mr. Fujimoto, the referee, raised the ball high in the air as he blew his whistle. They both jumped almost simultaneously to reach for the ball floating in the air. It was Kaede who won the air battle. 

From there, Kaede’s team played against Nikaido’s team with flowing pass work and approached the goal. In front of the goal, Kaede received the ball in a perfect position and Nikaido stood in front of her again. 

Even from the outside, I could feel the pressure emanating from Nikaido. Kaede was standing on the three-point line, which was a little too far away for her to shoot. It would be a good idea to dribble in and shoot, but it was not going to be easy and Nikaido wasn’t going to let her do that. 

“—fufu.” 

The corner of Kaede’s mouth lifted slightly. The only one who noticed it was Nikaido, who was  probably confronting her. 

“—ah!?” 

Defying the expectations of the ace of the basketball team, Kaede fired a shot. Drawing a beautiful parabola, the ball went in the ring and quietly shook the net. A cheer echoed through the gym. 

“Hee… you’re really good, Hitotsuba-san.” 

“Fufu. Yuya-kun is watching, you know. I have to show them that I’m cool.” 

“I see… well, in that case, I won’t go easy on you, okay?”

Sparks fly between the two of them. The heat on the outfield was rising. Next to me, Otsuki-san smugly looked at me like she had seen it all before, and Shinji was dumbfounded as if he was impressed. As for me– 

“Kaede… Cool” 

I was admiring Kaede’s three point shot. Eh, what the h**l was that? It was so cool!? The shot from her flowing form was so beautiful that it was a picture in itself. I am regretting that I didn’t have my smartphone in my hand. 

“Yoshi’s eyes are hearts, but… is he okay?” 

“I think it’s best to leave him alone. Besides… I’m sure this has sparked Nikaido-san’s interest, so it’ll be even more exciting?” 

Whose eyes have a heart mark in them? Well, I can’t deny it, so I’ll keep my mouth shut, but I’m  pretty sure Shinji was right about Kaede’s gutsy first strike that sent Nikaido into full-on serious  mode. 

Nikaido carried the ball to the center of the field with a smile on her face, inspiring her teammates. Nikaido’s position was that of a commander. She was supposed to be a forward who could score quickly,  but in this situation, she must have decided that it was better for her to pass the ball around. Besides, it was not that the commander couldn’t participate in the attack. 

“Let’s go… Hitotsuba-san.” 

Nikaido closes the distance between herself and Kaede, dribbling with a rhythmic, relaxed gait. The fearlessly smiling Meiwadai High School basketball team’s ace bared her fangs at Kaede. 

“Kaede!! Go for it!!!”

I’m going to cheer as hard as I can. Hang in there, you’re not gonna lose. Come on! Don’t lose! 

“Eh, Shin-kun. When did you become a spokesperson?” 

“Hey, Aio. You promised not to say anything like that.”

You two, back me up!!
