Episode 25: The Man of Time
“Yeah ahhhh!!!”
In response to my shout, noise of the b******s echoed out through the hall.
Cheena was also shouting.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen such a blissful face like this from her.
Oh yeah, this is good.
This is just my style.
It’s not about playing basketball, it’s about screaming madly and rampaging like a crazy person.
I don’t care about the rest.
For now, I’m just going to enjoy myself stress-free.
I’m going to play hard as much as I’ve been holding back this time.
“D**n it! What a coincidence! Just go for it!”
Sawai, who had been in a daze, turned red and picked up the ball.
That’s ridiculous. I won’t let him dunk as decided.
Sawai’s good mood from earlier has changed, and he is now clearly pissed off as he dribbles the ball into the air.
But such a frustrated random dribble was like asking for it to be robbed.
I caught up with him immediately and took the ball in an instant.
“Damn it!”
“It wasn’t on purpose I promise! See ya!”
I shove him aside and slam the ball into the ring.
The crowd erupted in cheers.
“Good job, Kagami-kun! You’re shining!”
Akimoto also shouts happily.
“Hey! What’s with that guy! He’s so cocky!”
“Sawai-kun! Kick him away!”
“Ioriiiiiiiii! Good job!”
The cheers and yells of Sawai’s cheering squad was drown by the simple words of the muscle group who was rooting for me, and it (Sawai’s cheering squad) didn’t even reach my ears.
“Hey, Kagami! I told you not to do anything on your own! Concentrate on your defense!”
“Shut up!”
Ishida shouted angrily at me, but I didn’t care.
I decided to ignore him and prepared for the next game.
After that, it was all a mess.
I took the ball, whether it’s an ally or enemy, and attacked the opposing team’s ring recklessly.
Sawai and Ishida were desperately trying to score by themselves.
My teammates on the other side of the field were also unsure of who to pass the ball to.
In the midst of all this, I cut the ball off again and dribbled towards the opposing ring.
I was almost at the shooting range when it happened.
“D**n it! That’s enough!”
Sawai, who was chasing me, grabbed my left arm in a desperate attempt to stop me.
It was an obvious foul play.
But well, It would be foolish to defy someone like me.
Besides, it’s a hundred years too early to try to stop someone by grabbing them like that!
I twisted my arm and moved my body swiftly to escape in the direction I was taking.
It was surprisingly easy, and I was able to break through the obstruction before the referee even noticed.
I went straight to the bottom of the goal and scored with a layup.
“I can’t believe you can’t stop me with a foul move. You’re not very good at basketball, are you?”
“Kagami, you… a*****e!”
Fifteen seconds left. The score was 40-40.
If one is to do so, the game is almost decided.
In such a situation, our teammate was the one who grabs the rebound and holds the ball.
However, he was surrounded by the enemy team and was unable to move.
“Give it to me!”
Ishida is demanding the ball.
But to be honest, his scoring rate is pretty low in this game.
I don’t want to leave it to him when we’re so close to winning.
But then again, I’m not in a position to cut off a pass to Ishida.
I don’t want to lose.
I know it’s a gamble, but I wanted to raise my voice here and get the ball rolling!
“Hey, hey, hey! Give it to me! Give me the ball!”
And his answer is,
“It’s Hosoi, you b*****d!”
At that moment, a ball flew towards me.
I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. But thank you!
“Stop!”
Sawai bumped his body to me and tried to cut off the pass.
But the ball bounced back and I swiftly got the ball.
And then I finished it off with a dunk.
Biiiiiii! (sound of buzzer I guess)
That was the signal to end the game.
It’s 42-40, we’ve won… No, I’ve won.
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
The game was over and I was waiting for the women’s final.
I was sitting on the bench, cooling down my burning body.
“I was so scared. I was afraid that Yori wouldn’t do anything.”
“You’re right. I should have done it from the beginning.”
Cheena wiped away my sweat as I poured myself a glass of sports drink.
There are many people who look at us with jealousy, but they didn’t interfere with me who scored the most in the game.
“I beat him up in front of all these onlookers. Even Sawai can’t touch Cheena now, can he?”
“Yeah, thanks. You were so cool and dazzling….”
Looking straight at my eyes, I blushed at Cheena’s simple and plain remark.
I’m sure the redness is disguised by the fact that we have only finished playing.
However, I am sure that she was relieved.
Even though it was a game that Sawai had come up with on his own, if I had lost, he would have been very insistent on coming after Cheena.
“Hey Kagami. It was a nice fight. It was a mess.”
When I had caught my breath, Hosoi called out to me.
He was the last teammate to pass the ball to me.
“Yeah. Thanks for passing it to me at the end.”
“I should have done this sooner. To be honest, Ishida’s one-man play wasn’t that interesting either.”
Hosoi then pointed behind him with his chin.
There was Ishida sitting on the bench, his head droop down.
He must have heard Hosoi’s voice. He looked up and glared at us with frustration.
“ Anyway, about that cheering squad. I was so surprised and almost tripped.”
“They are… My relatives.”
“Liar.”
We laughed at each other for a moment and then Hosoi went to talk with Takahara and the others.
As if to replace Hosoi, many men and women gathered around me and complimented me verbally.
“That was great! Sawai-senpai looked like he was about to cry wasn’t he?”
“I really don’t like that guy, he deserves it. You were so cool, Kagami-kun!”
They praised me for beating Sawai to the punch.
I’ve never been the hero of the moment like this before.
It was very embarrassing.
It seems that there are a certain number of people who don’t like Sawai, and they agree with my strange behavior.
By the way, I can’t find Sawai, the person in question.
I wonder if he hid somewhere as soon as he was defeated.
But to be honest, it would have been tough for a guy with a sports recommendation to show his true ability.
Maybe he was indulging in womanizing, or maybe he just can’t keep his cool.
Either way, he got what he deserved.
As of now…
“Okay, now it’s Cheena’s turn. I’ll be rooting for you this time, so do your best.”
“Yup. Watch me.”
A/N: Next time, a little bit of Shiori’s point of view
T/N: Will we be seeing a pov of Shiori in the next chapter? Only one answer: please stay tuned to the release of next chapter! No spoilers hehehe???
E/N: Also in the next chapter Soji(mc’s friend) will say something shocking.
