Episode 21: Tanaka part 1(E/N: Who is this pokemon.)
“Okay, let’s start practicing.”
Our captain, gave command.
Us four men reply, “Aye.”
Today, we’re going to practice for our class match during gym class.
The men’s and women’s basketball teams were practicing in the gymnasium, and the soccer and softball teams were practicing on the field.
Members of the men’s basketball team, besides me, are Takahara, Tanaka, Tanaka, Tana…… Oh, I only remember Tanaka.
However, I know that all of them belong to the basketball team except me.
All of them were taller than me, and they seem to be working out a bit, but they weren’t as powerful as the guys in the army.
First, a brief strategy meeting was held in a corner of the gym.
“Probably only our class and the second class of the third year were the only ones whose team is almost entirely made up of basketball players. If we can beat them, we’ll be the basketball champions.”
“But, coach, there’s that Sawai in class 3-2.”
“That’s right, Ishida. Senior Sawai is dangerous.”
“Oh, Hosoi. He’s big, tall, and above all, good.”
“Don’t worry, Matsuda. We can win!”
…Tanaka’s not here.
I mean,
“Sawai is such a bad guy?”
I had been listening in silence and asked him that question.
The handsome Takahara-kun answered me politely.
“You may not know this because you are not in the basketball team, but Sawai is the ace of our team and has been recommended for sports by the school.”
“Oh…”
It sure looks bad. As I nodded, one of the other members immediately started to approach me in a distant manner.
“So, Kagami, you’re an amateur, don’t drag your feet by sticking out.”
“…Since we’re here, let us have some fun, Matsuda.”
“It’s Ishida.”
Oh, I made a mistake, sorry.
“I’m sure Kagami will play an active role. You’ll get some exercise.”
Takahara. Are you one of the good guys?
By the way, I’ve just found out from our conversation that there’s one anti-member of my team.
That’s Ishida.
Other than that, Tanaka, Takahara and Tanaka don’t seem to dislike me that much.(E/N: Ahahaha the repetition it’s so funny. I would never remove that even if it’s just a mistake.)
However, Takahara’s judgment of right and wrong was very much based on his own standards, he can turn the innocent me as a killer in some cases.
Ishida, who hates me even more, was the best basketball player on our team.
If that’s the case, the ball will naturally come to me, and depending on Ishida’s leadership, he can have his way with me.
Sigh. If I’m going to do this, I want to enjoy it stress-free, but it’s not going well.
After some discussion, we decided to start the actual practice.
A little while ago, the girls had already started practicing basketball on the other half of the gym.
Right now they’re practicing pass-run…, which literally means running and passing.
Akimoto and Cheena were also doing it together, and they were…good.
I know that Akimoto is a bus girl, but it seems that Cheena is also very athletic.
(T/N: A bus girl refers to a female who has qualities or appearance that’s traditionally seen as masculine.
Isn’t it cool for a girl to play basketball?)
This was what I found out yesterday when I watched them practice at the base.
“Hey, Kagami! Stop staring at the girls and let’s get started!”
“I’m here, Hosoi!”(E/N: HAHAHHAHA this is the best chapter until now.)
“It’s Ishida!”
You three look so much alike, I can’t tell who is which…
Anyway, we started practicing too.
We continued practicing layups, face-to-face shots, square passes, and so on, and when we were done, we took a break.
What should I do… As I sat alone on the wall pouring sports drink on my stomach, listening to their talks, I heard,
“Hey, Takahara!”
I heard Akimoto calling Takahara from the other side of the gym.
Apparently, the girls had cut their practice for the day.
I wondered what it was about.
“What’s wrong, Akimoto?”
