<0001>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Good morning."

<0002> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "...Good morning..."

<0003>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "You look like you're hurting."

<0004> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Every muscle in my body is sore..."

<0005>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Were you practising yesterday?"

<0006> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah..."

<0007>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'm sorry for having all the fun by myself..."

<0008> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nah, your job was to keep Mei-chan entertained. It's fine."

<0009> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Did she have fun?"

<0010>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Oh, yes. It almost felt like we were having more fun that we should've had."

<0011>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "She gives her best regards to \m{B}-kun as well."

<0012> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I see, so she's not here anymore?"

<0013>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Right. She left last evening."

<0014>
// ...I'm sure Sunohara and I were at the school at that time, though.

<0015>
// .........

<0016>
// I guess I shouldn't think about it too much.

<0017>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Good morning."

<0018> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "...Good morning..."

<0019>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "You look like you're hurting."

<0020> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Every muscle in my body is sore..."

<0021> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I don't normally exercise, you see..."

<0022>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Are you okay?"

<0023> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah..."

<0024>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Um, I brought a sandwich today."

<0025>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's not from our store. I made it myself,"

<0026>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "However, I had Mom help me."

<0027>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "After the match is over, let's eat together."

<0028> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Sure..."

<0029> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'm looking forward to it..."

<0030>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "You really look hurt."

<0031> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'm fine..."

<0032>
// Afternoon break.

<0033> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Good morning."

<0034>
// Sunohara finally arrives.

<0035> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Even though you have the most motivation, you also arrive the latest."

<0036> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I have to make sure I have plenty of sleep!"

<0037> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You're oversleeping!"

<0038> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "We're depending on you to not embarrass us, so give it your best!"

<0039>
// As I said that, I lightly slapped his shoulder.

<0040> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "GYAAAAAAAA!!"

<0041> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Whoa...what's with you all of a sudden..."

<0042> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Nothing..."

<0043> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't surprise me like that, okay?"

<0044>
// This time, I slap his arm.

<0045> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "GYAAAAAAAA!!"

<0046> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<0047> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... you got muscular pains?"

<0048> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Yeah, looks like it..."

<0049>
// I slap both of his arms one more time.

<0050> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "GYAAAAAAAA!!"

<0051> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "You trying to kill me?!"

<0052> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."

<0053>
// Nagisa won't be of any use, and my shoulder is damaged.

<0054>
// And, Sunohara is on the verge of death from muscular pain.

<0055> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I guess we'll forfeit..."

<0056> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Forfeit what?"

<0057> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "The match, of course."

<0058> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "You idiot, don't say such a shameful thing!"

<0059> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Remember how hard we worked for this day!"

<0060>
// Poke.

<0061> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "GYAAAAAAAA!!!"

<0062> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "As if you can play like that."

<0063> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Even if I can't, I will."

<0064> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Even if I end up crawling across the ground..."

<0065> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Because that's the Sunohara 3 on 3 Team..."

<0066>
// Don't stick your name on it.

<0067> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "You'll do it, right, \m{A}?"

<0068>
// Can he not put this will-power of his into anything more useful?

<0069>
// But, well...I guess I'm the same way.

<0070> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Fine...I just gotta do it. That's all."

<0071> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Yeah!"

<0072> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Let's go and check on Tomoyo!"

<0073> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ah, that's right."

<0074> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Ow..."

<0075> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You have muscle pains too?"

<0076> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Haha...I guess I hustled too much!"

<0077> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Me too. Even walking is painful."

<0078> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "There's a trick to this."

<0079> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "If you just move the parts of your leg below your knees, it doesn't hurt."

<0080>
// Clack, clack, clack...

<0081>
// His upper body doesn't budge. It was quite a creepy walking technique.

<0082> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Let's see..."

<0083>
// I try it as well.

<0084>
// Clack, clack, clack...

<0085> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Yeah, just like that. Hey, you're good!"

<0086>
// Clack, clack, clack...

<0087>
// Clack, clack, clack, clack, clack~!

<0088> \{Nữ Sinh} ""
// \{Female Student} "Eeeek!"

<0089>
// The two of us continue walking this creepy walking technique as the upper part of our bodies remain still.

<0090>
// When we get to Tomoyo's classroom, we grab a leaving student and tell him to get her.

<0091> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "It's you two."

<0092> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "You're in this, right?"

<0093>
// Sunohara instantly asks.

<0094> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "........."

<0095>
// She thought for a while, and then...

<0096> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Looks like I have to, doesn't it?"

<0097>
// That was her reply.

<0098> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "Hey, Sakagami. Here, I'll go ahead and hand this to you."

<0099>
// A male student that appeared from beside us handed Tomoyo a beaten bag.

<0100> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Right. You have my gratitude."

<0101> \{Nam Sinh} ""
// \{Male Student} "It's real scary if the size doesn't fit, so try not to hurt yourself."

<0102> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Mm."

<0103> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Could that possibly be..."

<0104> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Yeah, shoes."

<0105>
// What she pulled out from the bag was a pair of basketball shoes.

<0106>
// By looking at the size and color, I can tell that it's a female type. It must be an acquaintance of that guy.

<0107> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "And we're only wearing our gym shoes..."

<0108> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "All right, you two."

<0109> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Since I'm in this, I will not tolerate losing."

<0110> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Let's win."

<0111>
// She was a promising helper.

<0112>
// Two hours of class end, and it's after school.

<0113> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I was worried. Thought you might not show up."

<0114> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Well, I did work hard for this day."

<0115> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, let's go eat."

<0116> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Ow..."

<0117> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You have muscle pains too?"

<0118> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Haha...I guess I hustled too much!"

<0119> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Me too. Even walking is painful."

<0120> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "There's a trick to this."

<0121> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "If you just move the parts of your leg below your knees, it doesn't hurt."

<0122>
// Clack, clack, clack...

<0123>
// His upper body doesn't budge. It was quite a creepy walking technique.

<0124> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Let's see..."

<0125>
// I try it as well.

<0126>
// Clack, clack, clack...

<0127> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Yeah, just like that. Hey, you're good!"

<0128>
// Clack, clack, clack...

<0129>
// Clack, clack, clack, clack, clack~!

<0130> \{Nữ Sinh} ""
// \{Female Student} "Eeeek!"

<0131>
// The two of us continue walking this creepy walking technique as the upper part of our bodies remain still.

<0132>
// Two hours of class end, and it's after school.

<0133> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "........."

<0134>
// I meet up with Tomoyo in the hallway.

<0135>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'm sorry for being late."

<0136>
// Nagisa, carrying her bag and bundled handkerchief, came out of her class as well.

<0137> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Well...let's go."

<0138>
// Sunohara leading the way, we start walking.

<0139> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "But, I wonder if she'll be okay..."

<0140>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "We're the ones that asked for her help, so we have to have faith in her!"

<0141> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "But, she didn't even practice..."

<0142> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "She did say she was extremely busy..."

<0143> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I'm getting even more anxious about this..."

<0144>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'm sure it'll be okay."

<0145>
// We open the door to the empty room.

<0146>
// There was Fuuko, intently carving and looking the same as she did two days ago.

<0147> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, Fuuko."

<0148> \{Fuuko} ""
// \{Fuuko} "... huh?"

<0149>
// She raises her head.

<0150> \{Fuuko} ""
// \{Fuuko} "Why is everybody here together?"

<0151> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Ugh...this girl forgot!"

<0152> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Hagh!"

<0153>
// Sunohara presses his knuckles against the left and right side of her forehead.

<0154> \{Fuuko} ""
// \{Fuuko} "Mmmmph! It hurts!"

<0155>
// The team was already falling apart.

<0156>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Sunohara-san, please stop it!"

<0157>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Anybody can forget a thing or two!"

<0158> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "We practiced every day for this day, you know?!"

<0159> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Forgetting about it kind of ruins the effort, don't you think?!"

<0160> \{Fuuko} ""
// \{Fuuko} "Fuuko remembered! We were to play Cricket today!"

<0161> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It's basketball!"

<0162> \{Fuuko} ""
// \{Fuuko} "Whichever is fine. Fuuko was to participate and become known by many people today."

<0163> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "That's right. If you want that to happen, get serious!"

<0164> \{Fuuko} ""
// \{Fuuko} "Yes, if Fuuko is there, it is 1.5 x human power."

<0165> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Another doubtful statement..."

<0166> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Is this really gonna be okay...?"

<0167>
// To meet up with Miyazawa, our helper, we go to the reference room in the old school building.

<0168> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Sup!"

<0169>
// Sunohara opens the door and greets.

<0170> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Welcome."

<0171>
// ... just for a moment, I felt there was someone else.

<0172>
// And it wasn't just one or two people either...

<0173>
// But, only Miyazawa alone stands in the room.

<0174>
// It must be my imagination...

<0175> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Are you ready?"

<0176> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "What?"

<0177> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "For the basketball match."

<0178> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Oh, it is time? Pardon me."

<0179>
// She closes the book she was reading and stands.

<0180> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Any time is fine."

<0181> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Okay. Let's go."

<0182>
// We head to the dormitories to meet up with Misae-san as our backer.

<0183>
// I knock on Misae-san's door.

<0184> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Coming!"

<0185> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "Yes?"

<0186> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Let's play basketball!"

<0187>
// POW!

<0188> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nagisa, tell her."

<0189>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Oh, okay."

<0190>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "The basketball match is about to start."

<0191>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Are you okay with the time?"

<0192> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "Oh, it was today..."

<0193> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "Oh well, I have some work left to do, but I'll just work hard tonight."

<0194>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Excuse us..."

<0195>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Um, please let me help you with it later."

<0196> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "No, it's fine, don't worry about it."

<0197> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "It's my job, after all!"

<0198> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Sloooooow!!!!" 

<0199>
// As we leave into the hallway, Kyou and Nagisa were already waiting.

<0200> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Aren't you two being too sloppy to play against these experts?"

<0201> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, well. You seem pretty excited about this, don't you?"

<0202> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Ha... hah hah... we're gonna win for sure, today's match, that is!"

<0203> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Um, did something happen?"

<0204> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "There's a basketball club member in my class, you see."

<0205> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I see."

<0206> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "He knew that I was a member of this team... what do you think he said?"

<0207> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "What did he say?"

<0208> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "'To team up with such a lowly group, even Fujibayashi has fallen'..."

<0209> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Grrr! It pisses me off!"

<0210> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ahh... a lowly group, huh...?"

<0211> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "I want to turn his despicable smile blood red!!"

<0212> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "\m{B}, is it a foul if I throw the ball into their face?!"

<0213>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Um, please calm down."

<0214> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "If you don't get caught, it's technique."

<0215>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun!"

<0216>
// Nagisa raises a defensive voice against what I said.

<0217>
// But, it does irritate me to be called lowly.

<0218> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "Well, let's go, shall we?"

<0219>
// Kyou boldly smiles as she starts walking.

<0220>
// I also walk up beside her and follow.

<0221>
// A little behind, Nagisa and Sunohara started following along.

<0222> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "... Nagisa-chan... I, I might've picked up the wrong teammate..."

<0223>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It's all right. She's saying such things right now, but when the time comes, she'll be fair..."

<0224> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "If it becomes a free-for-all, can I slip in and throw in my elbow?"

<0225> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "The area under their rib is an effective way to remove their stamina."

<0226> \{Kyou} ""
// \{Kyou} "I see."

<0227> \{Sunohara} ""\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Sunohara} "........." \r\{Nagisa} "........."

<0228>
// Class ends. Sunohara and I walk up to Fujibayashi's seat.

<0229> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "So, are you ready?"

<0230> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Y, yes, I will do my best."

<0231> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, you don't have to overdo it."

<0232> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "N, no, to make sure I'm useful...um...I w-will do my best."

<0233> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It'll be fine, even your fortune-telling said we would win!"

<0234> \{Cô Gái} ""
// \{Girl} "\m{A}-kun, Sunohara-kun."

<0235>
// A girl from behind calls us.

<0236> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Heh? What?"

<0237> \{Cô Gái} ""
// \{Girl} "Do your best."

<0238> \{Cô Gái} ""
// \{Girl} "I'm sure there will be a chance again."

<0239> \{Cô Gái} ""
// \{Girl} "\m{A}-kun shouldn't be discouraged, either."

<0240> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Haha, \m{A}, we're being supported."

<0241> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "We'll have to win for sure!"

<0242> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Um... I feel that it is something other than cheering..."

<0243> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Well, let's go! Let's go!"

<0244>
// There was already a crowd waiting in the building.

<0245>
// Half of the room was the basketball club. The other half that was separated by a net was being used by the volleyball club.

<0246>
// As if the members weren't picked yet, each member was practicing.

<0247>
// ...I've missed this atmosphere.

<0248>
// I was once a part of that group.

<0249>
// But, now...

<0250>
// I look down at my own body.

<0251>
// I'm wearing just the plain school uniform.

<0252>
// To think that I'll be enthusiastically playing basketball is ironic. It's too ridiculous.

<0253>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'm getting very nervous..."

<0254> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You're just watching, you know."

<0255>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I know that."

<0256> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "This is just a game."

<0257>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "But...we're playing against the basketball club. I believe that's amazing."

<0258>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Look at them. Everybody is very good."

<0259>
// She says something that would likely anger the listener.

<0260>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "They are practicing every day like this."

<0261>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "To think that...we that just got together get to play against such people..."

<0262>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "We who walked down different paths..."

<0263>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I wonder, just how deep our friendships have become in this little time."

<0264>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "And if we win..."

<0265>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It would mean that in that little time, our bonds became stronger than the basketball team's."

<0266>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "And if that is so, it would really be amazing..."

<0267>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Although I awkwardly grew up apart from everyone else..."

<0268>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Although I'm always falling behind everybody else..."

<0269>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "To think if we work together, we can accomplish something greater than normal people..."

<0270>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "That's why I'm nervous."

<0271> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ahh...you're right."

<0272>
// I understand exactly what Nagisa wants to say.

// Immediately, the crowd nearby stirs.

<0283>
// They reacted to Yoshino Yuusuke's name.

<0372> \{Sunohara} ""

// Sunohara does a fake, and as the opponent turned his face, he greatly threw the ball towards the basket.

// Is he trying for a three pointer...?

<0382> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "What an amateur..."

<0383>
// The moment I thought that...

<0384>
// Right beside the basket was a person in the air.

<0385> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Alley oop...?!)

<0386>
// Grabbing the ball with both hands...

<0387>
// Boff! \shake{3}

<0388>
// The ball was slammed down the ring.

<0389>
// A little after the ball, her long hair and figure lands.

<0390> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "What do you think? Pretty good for a first, I'm sure."

<0391>
// She passes between the dumbfounded defense as she talks.

<0392>\{Nagisa} ""

<0393>
// No, it's not that kind of skill.

<0394> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Hmm, well, it is your first, after all, so I guess it'll pass."

<0395>
// Sunohara surpressed his feelings of joy and changed it into bitterness.

<0396>
// After witnessing that alley oop, and then being told that it's her 'first', the other team couldn't had to feel uneasy.

<0397>
// In fact, they're still not moving.

<0398> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Then what more do you expect me to do than that?"

<0399> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "First of all, hide your underwear when you're in the air."

<0400>
// Thug!

<0401> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I'm never doing that move again!"

<0402> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I was kidding!...I didn't see it, so jump like crazy!"

<0403> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "That better be the truth..."

<0404>
// One after another, Tomoyo makes her shots and scores.

<0405>
// Before we knew, the entrance to the gym was crowded with people in school uniforms.

<0406> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "The crowd is gathering and it's looking good!"

<0407> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But, the most of them cheering for Tomoyo, is that just my imagination?"

<0408>
// It was so intense, that it felt like there would be a Tomoyo Fanclub by tomorrow.

<0409>\{Đội Trưởng} ""
// \{Team Captain} "Time out! We're changing members!"

<0410>
// The captain's angry voice echoed throughout the building.

<0411> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, I figured we could get this far, but..."

<0412> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "The battle begins now that the main members are against us, huh..."

<0413>
// If every person gets switched with main members, their strength would increase tremendously.

<0414>
// I know they're going to get points in.

<0415>
// An amateur like Sunohara will get intercepted unless a lot of opportunities are used.

<0416>
// So, I can only rely on Tomoyo.

<0417>
// Tomoyo finds an opening and moves. To try to close the opening, the opponent moves as well.

<0418>
// Thanks to that, Sunohara had become open.

<0419>
// Without turning my head, I threw the ball to him.

<0420>
// Bam! \shake{2}

<0421> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Ow!"

<0422>
// It slammed right into Sunohara's face.

<0423> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't get tricked by your own teammate's feints!"

<0424> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Oww... all right, all right, I'll get it from now on."

<0425>
// Checks against Tomoyo were harsh, and her openings are crushed countlessly.

<0426>
// But defensively, both Tomoyo and Sunohara moved quickly, took rebounds, and sometimes even intercept their passes.

<0427>
// Nobody scoring up to this point was rare.

<0428>
// But...

<0429> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Huff... puff..."

<0430>
// As Sunohara's breathing begins to increase, our balance also begins to crumble.

<0431>
// Their passes succeed, and they continuously score.

<0432>
// I look at the score board.

<0433>
// They were just one point away from us.

<0434> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "How much time do we have left?!"

// \{Tomoyo} "Of course."

<0442> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Good, let's score."

<0443>
// I throw the ball to where Tomoyo is running. It reaches her in one bounce. 

<0444>
// It's over if she's surrounded. Immediately, she takes two steps and leaps toward the basket.

<0445>
// Layup.

<0446>
// But, a hand stretches out in front of the ball.

<0447>
// Tomoyo, while in mid-air, switched the ball from her dominant hand to her left hand.

<0448> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (She's good!)

<0449>
// She tosses the ball in front of the basket and lands, still surrounded by defense.

<0450>
// The figure that jumped this time was Sunohara, who was completely free.

<0451> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "All right!"

<0452>
// He grabbed the ball with both hands and...

<0453>
// Thunk!\shake{3}

<0454>
// The ball hits the ground.

<0455>
// Without the ball going in through the ring.

<0456>
// "Daaaahhhh---!" The cheering students all groaned at once.

<0457> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't try to dunk if you can't even reach it!"

// Their layup worked perfectly.

// \{Tomoyo} "........."

<0467> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "I see... I understand how you guys feel."

<0468> \{Tomoyo} ""

<0469> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "If that's the case, tell me sooner. I was serious all by myself..."

<0470> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "No..."

<0471> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "See, I figured the crowd would go wild if we ended the game with a turn-around."

// I should make the last move 

<0482> \{Tomoyo} ""
// \{Tomoyo} "Got it."

<0483> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It'll be nice if it works out that way."

<0484>
// We go onto the court.

<0485>
// If the first pass gets stolen, it's game over.

<0486>
// They know that as well. Their defense is tighter than ever before.

<0487>
// Their formations spin round and around. It's hard on my eyes...

<0488>
// I throw the ball.

<0489>
// It crosses over into Tomoyo's hands.

<0490>
// Before getting surrounded, she throws it back to me.

<0491>
// I dribble to the center.

<0492>
// They were surprised.

<0493>
// It's because I had not gone below the basket until now.

<0494>
// One, two...

<0495>
// ... layup!

<0496>
// A shadow creeps behind me.

<0497>
// As Tomoyo did earlier, I transferred the ball to my left hand in front of me.

<0498>
// Then, believing it's Sunohara behind me, I toss the ball up.

// I turn around to see Sunohara, landing with the ball in his hands.

<0502>
// Then the defense that was on Sunohara tightens.

<0503>
// After a fake, the ball hits the floor.

<0504>
// The ball bounces high.

<0505>
// The one that sprinted and picked up the ball was Tomoyo.

// She shook off the defense on her, and then...

<0507>
// Layup.

<0508>
// The ball circles around the hoop.

<0509>
// Relying on force, the ball rolled off of the orbit... \pand fell onto the court floor.

// Sunohara whispers into my ear.

<0571> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "This is gonna be bad later on..."

<0572> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, Fuuko."

<0573> \{Fuuko} ""
// \{Fuuko} "Yes?"

<0574> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Anyway, just move around. Then, if you get the ball, don't shoot, but pass it."

<0575> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Got it?"

<0576> \{Fuuko} ""
// \{Fuuko} "That's too simple."

<0577> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "You couldn't shoot the ball because it was too heavy, wasn't it?!"

<0578>\{Thành Viên Bóng Rổ} ""
// \{Basketball Player} "Hey, we're gonna start now!"

<0579>
// The opponent threw in the ball.

<0580> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Fuuko, get on that guy!"

<0581> \{Fuuko} ""
// \{Fuuko} "But that person over there is more handsome."

<0582> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't pick by face!"

<0583>
// This is painful to not be able to freely move on my own.

<0584>
// An easy opening was taken and they scored with a layup.

<0585>
// Even if we have the ball, the result is the same.

<0586>
// Even our lucky passes get stolen right away.

<0587> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Are these guys the main players?"

<0588> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "No way."

<0589> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "We're just really bad."

<0590>
// There's already only a minute left.

<0591>
// They have successfully scored 11 times.

<0592>
// But even so, Fuuko alone, chased after the ball until the end.

<0593>
// Even when they taunted her by throwing the ball around in circles, she kept chasing.

<0594> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It's too late, why is she trying so hard?"

<0595>
// Sunohara had already lost the will to play.

<0596> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Time's up!"

<0597>
// Somebody's voice.

<0598>
// Immediately following, the basketball club members were delighted.

<0599>\{Thành Viên} ""
// \{Team Member} "Too easy!"

<0600>\{Thành Viên} ""
// \{Team Member} "That wasn't even a good warm-up routine!"

<0601> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Bull, you guys were trying pretty hard!"

<0602> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Leave it, Sunohara!"

<0603> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "They can say whatever they want, that's the glory of winning."

<0604> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "But that sucks!"

<0605> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But we lost, so just give it up."

<0606>
// The onlookers hurriedly started to leave.

<0607>
// As if kicking away the students, a number of teachers were running this way.

<0608>
// It was probably all of the advisors that take care of this gym.

<0609> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "What is the meaning of this?!"

<0610>
// At the front was the guidance advisor, Oogami.

<0611> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Crap... let's get outta here!"

<0612>
// Sunohara turned opposite of the entrance towards the emergency exit and starts running.

<0613> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Fuuko, you should run as well!"

<0614> \{Fuuko} ""
// \{Fuuko} "Fuuko didn't do anything bad!"

<0615> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You did!"

<0616> \{Fuuko} ""
// \{Fuuko} "Fuuko was naive!"

<0617> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Come on, let's go, hurry!"

<0618>
// Fuuko reluctantly also went away.

<0619>
// I can't be sitting around, either.

<0620> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nagisa, we're going too!"

<0621>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, yes!"

<0622>
// The players take their positions on their sides of the court. We are to initiate the offensive.

<0623>
// Firstly, I tried spinning the ball to Yoshino Yuusuke.

<0624>
// He grabbed the ball firmly in his hands, looked around, and started dribbling the ball.

<0625>
// His smooth actions seem to display his great athletic abilities.

<0626>
// His eyes seem to be asking if he should go for it as he looked at me.

<0627>
// I answered with a nod.

<0628>
// At that point, Yoshino Yuusuke managed to cut through with a single feint, and commenced his rapid offence.

<0629>
// He pushed the opponents away, almost risking a foul, and finally reached under the basket.

<0630>
// With that, he jumped slightly upwards, allowed the ball loose from his hands.

<0631>
// It was a beautiful layup.

<0632>
// Swoosh, the ball passed through the ring.

<0633>
// At the same time, the female spectators started to give a magnificent cheer.

<0634> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Woah... even if it's Yoshino we're talking about here, as a male, anyone would be jealous..."

<0635> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Okay then, it's my turn then!"

<0636> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Yo!"

<0637>
// Sunohara intercepted the opponent's pass swiftly.

<0638> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Heh heh."

<0639>
// ~~~~~Silence~~~~~~~

<0640> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It wouldn't hurt if you guys got a bit excited for me, would it?!"

<0641> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, Sunohara, pass the ball to me!"

<0642> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Tch!"

<0643>
// As I received the ball, I immediately spun it to Yoshino Yuusuke.

<0644>
// The opponents have yet to recover.

<0645>
// It was more than enough for Yoshino Yuusuke's skills to earn all the points.

<0646>
// An interception of the ball, followed by fluid momentum, he goes for the shots and scores.

<0647>
// Before we knew it, the entrance to the gym was crowded with people in school uniforms.

<0648> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "I see we're getting quite a good number of onlookers."

<0649> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But most of them are here just to root for Yoshino Yuusuke."

<0650>
// As if disliking the attention he's getting, Yoshino Yuusuke lowered his head, allowing his forelock hair to hide his face.

<0651>\{Đội Trưởng} ""
// \{Team Captain} "Time out! We're changing members!"

<0652>
// The captain's angry voice echoed throughout the building.

<0653> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, I figured we could get this far, but..."

<0654> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "The battle begins now that the main members are against us, huh..."

<0655>
// If every person gets switched with main members, their strength would increase tremendously.

<0656>
// I know they're going to get points in.

<0657>
// An amateur like Sunohara will get intercepted unless we exploit the opportunities given.

<0658>
// Oh well, I guess we can only rely on Yoshino Yuusuke.

<0659>
// Yoshino Yuusuke moves about attempting to find an opening. The opponents moved accordingly to cover up the optential threats.

<0660>
// Thanks to that, Sunohara had become open.

<0661>
// Without turning my head, I threw the ball to him.

<0662>
// Bam! \shake{2}

<0663> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Ow!"

<0664>
// It slammed right into Sunohara's face.

<0665> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't get tricked by your own teammate's feints!"

<0666> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Oww... okay, okay. I'll get it from now on."

<0667>
// The opponents have begun their vigorous checking of Yoshino Yuusuke.

<0668>
// In reaction, he accidentally pushed an opponent over.

<0669>
// Whistle--!

<0670>
// As a result, a free throw was awarded to the opponents.

<0671>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Sorry 'bout that..."

<0672> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nah, well we're fighting an 'Away' match, it can't be helped..."

<0673>
// It was rather obvious that the referee was biased.

<0674>
// Even so, Yoshino Yuusuke manages to keep getting points, thus maintaining the balance of the game.

<0675>
// Sunohara has rather quick reflexes too, seemingly able to intercept most of the opponent's passes.

<0676>
// But...

<0677> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Huff... puff..."

<0678>
// As Sunohara's breathing begins to increase, our balance also begins to crumble.

<0679>
// Their passes succeed, and they continuously score.

<0680>
// I look at the score board.

<0681>
// They were just one point away from us.

<0682> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "How much time do we have left?!"

<0683>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Thirty seconds left to go."

<0684> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Sunohara, move, only thirty more seconds!"

<0685> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Hehe, I'm fine..."

<0686>
// Wobble, wobble...

<0687> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't wobble your knees."

<0688> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yoshino Yuusuke, are you still able to move?"

<0689>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Yeah."

<0690>
// As he replied, he sweat profusely like a waterfall, contunuously taking deep, panting breaths.

<0691>
// He'd been moving about since the first half, so it's not surprising to see him in such a state.

<0692> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "All right, let's give it our best."

<0693>
// Yoshino Yuusuke darted through their openings, with the ball in one hand.

<0694>
// He neutralises the encircling denfences, followed immediately by a double-step as he jumps towards the ring. 

<0695>
// A strong hand reached out to stop him.

<0696>
// His arms were smacked by it.

<0697> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "FOUL!!!"

<0698>
// Sunohara's yell was ignored.

<0699>
// Even then, Yoshino Yuusuke held onto the ball firmly, and right as he lands, he flung it to Sunohara.

<0700>
// Who was totally unguarded.

<0701> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "All right!!"

<0702>
// Grabbing the ball with both hands, he leapt into the air.

<0703>
// Thunk!\shake{3}

<0704>
// The ball hits the ground.

<0705>
// Without the ball going in through the ring.

<0706>
// "Daaaahhhh---!" The cheering students so brought out in disappointment.

<0707> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't try to dunk if you can't even reach it!"

<0708> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "The one just now just happened to not reach it! Haha!"

<0709> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Because you're trying to look cool, even though you're tired!"

<0710> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Do you realize how important that shot was?!"

<0711> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It's fine if I intercept the next ball right? Yup, yup."

<0712> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You know...!"

<0713>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Hey you two, the opponents are starting their attack."

<0714>
// Swish.

<0715>
// The opponent's layup was nothing short of beautiful.

<0716>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "........."

<0717>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "There's still... some time left, you two..."

<0718> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Don't worry..."

<0719> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "You see, it'd be much cooler if we ended the game in a great counter-attack."

<0720> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "This is a show, right, \m{A}?"

<0721> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well... I guess so."

<0722> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "We don't have any time left. Pass the ball around, we shall end it with this one last shoot."

<0723>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "In such situations, that one shoot is rather difficult..."

<0724>\{Thành Viên Bóng Rổ} ""
// \{Basketball Player} "You guys, hurry up and start!"

<0725> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, we're starting."

<0726> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "All right, you two."

<0727>
// I hold on to their shoulders and give out the final instructions.

<0728>
// I should leave it to Yoshino Yuusuke to make the last move.

<0729>
// I should make the last move. 

<0730>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Understood."

<0731> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It'll be nice if it works out that way."

<0732>
// We go onto the court.

<0733>
// If the first pass gets stolen, it's game over.

<0734>
// They know that as well. Their defense is tighter than ever before.

<0735>
// Their formations spin round and around. It's hard on my eyes...

<0736>
// I throw the ball.

<0737>
// It crosses over into Yoshino Yuusuke's hands.

<0738>
// He was surrounded form the front. Without causing a foul, he passes it right through them to me.

<0739>
// I dribble to the center.

<0740>
// They were surprised.

<0741>
// It's because I had not gone below the basket until now.

<0742>
// One, two...

<0743>
// ... layup!

<0744>
// A shadow creeps behind me.

<0745>
// I transferred the ball to my left hand in front of me.

<0746>
// Then, believing it's Sunohara behind me, I toss the ball up.

<0747> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Here it comes!"

<0748>
// Sunohara's voice.

<0749>
//  I turn around to see Sunohara, landing with the ball in his hands.

<0750>
// Then the defense that was on Sunohara tightens.

<0751>
// After a fake, the ball hits the floor.

<0752>
// The ball bounces high.

<0753>
// The one that sprinted and picked up the ball was Yoshino Yuusuke.

<0754>
// He shook off the defense on her, and then...

<0755>
// Layup.

<0756>
// The ball circles around the hoop.

<0757>
// Relying on force, the ball rolled off of the orbit...\pand fell onto the court floor.

<0758>
// .........

<0759>
// Silence filled the building.

<0760> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Time's up!"

<0761>
// Somebody's voice.
