// April 28th (Monday)
<0001>
// \{Nagisa} "Good morning."
<0002>
// \{\m{B}} "Ah, good morning to you too..."
<0003>
// \{Nagisa} "I'm really sorry for yesterday."
<0004>
// \{\m{B}} "Nah it's okay. Don't worry about it."
<0005>
// \{Nagisa} "Aren't you angry?"
<0006>
// \{\m{B}} "Don't worry. I'm not angry."
<0007>
// \{\m{B}} "But in place of that, do make up for it nicely okay?"
<0008>
// \{Nagisa} "Okay, tomorrow's another holiday after all."
<0009>
// \{\m{B}} "I look forward to it."
<0010>
// \{Nagisa} "Good morning."
<0011>
// \{\m{B}} "Ah, good morning to you too..."
<0012>
// \{Nagisa} "I'm really sorry for yesterday."
<0013>
// \{\m{B}} "Nah, it's okay. Don't worry about it."
<0014>
// \{\m{B}} "I had a lot of fun after all."
<0015>
// \{Nagisa} "Eh..."
<0016>
// \{Nagisa} "I see... So you enjoyed yourself..."
<0017>
// \{Nagisa} "Was my mum very nice?"
<0018>
// I stopped in my tracks as I heard that.
<0019>
// \{\m{B}} "Could it be that... you're jealous?"
<0020>
// \{Nagisa} "Eh?"
<0021>
// \{Nagisa} "I'm not jealous at all. Definitely not."
<0022>
// \{\m{B}} "You're really bad at lying, aren't you."
<0023>
// \{Nagisa} "I'm not lying at all..."
<0024>
// \{\m{B}} "Oh by the way... I like Sanae a lot."
<0025>
// \{Nagisa} "Right..."
<0026>
// \{\m{B}} "But, it's not that sort of relationship right?"
<0027>
// \{\m{B}} "I'm going out with you."
<0028>
// \{\m{B}} "At that, I love you more than anyone else."
<0029>
// \{\m{B}} "More than others by countless times, ten times, hundreds of times."
<0030>
// \{\m{B}} "There's no need to compare."
<0031>
// \{Nagisa} "........."
<0032>
// \{Nagisa} "Thank you."
<0033>
// \{Nagisa} "And, sorry."
<0034>
// \{Nagisa} "I just had to make you say all that... Perhaps I'm giving you a lot of pressure."
<0035>
// \{\m{B}} "No such thing."
<0036>
// \{\m{B}} "Guys get happy when people get jealous over them."
<0037>
// \{\m{B}} "But frankly speaking, I never expected you to ever get jealous."
<0038>
// \{Nagisa} "Erm... That is..."
<0039>
// \{Nagisa} "I thought so too..."
<0040>
// \{Nagisa} "........."
<0041>
// \{Nagisa} "Erm..."
<0042>
// \{\m{B}} "Yes?"
<0043>
// \{Nagisa} "Am I really not being a burden to you?"
<0044>
// \{\m{B}} "That's harsh. You're not being a burden. I told you I was happy about it didn't I?"
<0045>
// \{\m{B}} "That's why, do cheer up."
<0046>
// \{Nagisa} "I understand now... I'm feeling normal now."
<0047>
// \{\m{B}} "Right."
<0048>
// \{Nagisa} "I'm relieved to hear that."
<0049>
// \{Nagisa} "I'm looking forward to it too."
<0050>
// \{\m{B}} "Bye, see you during afternoon break."
<0051>
// \{Nagisa} "Okay."
<0052>
// We parted in front of the classroom.
<0053>
// .........
<0054>
// As afternoon break arrives...
<0055>
// \{Sunohara} "Good morning!"
<0056>
// Sunohara arrived at school.
<0057>
// \{Sunohara} "Well then, today's about looking for a new member yeah?"
<0058>
// \{\m{B}} "Gah..."
<0059>
// \{Sunohara} "We are only left with today aren't we?"
<0060>
// \{\m{B}} "I know that but..."
<0061>
// \{Sunohara} "Come on, let's finish lunch quickly and start on it."
<0062>
// \{Sunohara} "Good morning Nagisa-chan!"
<0063>
// \{Nagisa} "Good morning Sunohara-san."
<0064>
// \{Nagisa} "You're rather pumped up today."
<0065>
// \{Nagisa} "I guess your sister's arrival really helped a lot right?"
<0066>
// \{Sunohara} "Haha.. I see, I heard that Nagisa-chan met her."
<0067>
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, Mei-chan was really a polite and cute person."
<0068>
// \{Sunohara} "Eh, is that so?"
<0069>
// \{\m{B}} "In comparison, your sister is really much more upright."
<0070>
// \{Sunohara} "What are you trying to say?"
<0071>
// \{Nagisa} "We talked a lot."
<0072>
// \{Sunohara} "We quarreled quite a bit."
<0073>
// \{\m{B}} "Did you two sleep together?"
<0074>
// \{Sunohara} "No way."
<0075>
// \{Nagisa} "If only she could stay on for a longer period of time."
<0076>
// \{Sunohara} "She's going back the day after."
<0077>
// \{\m{B}} "Give her to me."
<0078>
// \{Sunohara} "Dream on."
<0079>
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun, you've been making fun of Sunohara since just now."
<0080>
// \{Sunohara} "Ah well, today's our team formation day. Of course we're burning with passion."
<0081>
// \{\m{B}} "Go burn to death."
<0082>
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun, you shouldn't say such things."
<0083>
// \{Nagisa} "Good morning."
<0084>
// \{\m{B}} "Ah, good morning to you too..."
<0085>
// \{Nagisa} "I'm really sorry about yesterday."
<0086>
// \{\m{B}} "Nah it's okay. Don't worry about it."
<0087>
// \{Nagisa} "Right."
<0088>
// \{Nagisa} "Good morning."
<0089>
// \{\m{B}} "Ah, good morning to you too..."
<0090>
// \{Nagisa} "I'm really sorry about yesterday."
<0091>
// \{\m{B}} "Nah it's okay. Don't worry about it."
<0092>
// \{\m{B}} "I had a lot of fun after all."
<0093>
// \{Nagisa} "Good to hear of that."
<0094>
// \{Nagisa} "Because I had fun too."
<0095>
// \{\m{B}} "Bye, see you during afternoon break."
<0096>
// \{Nagisa} "Okay."
<0097>
// We parted in front of the classroom.
<0098>
// .........
<0099>
// As afternoon break arrives...
<0100>
// \{Sunohara} "Good morning!"
<0101>
// Sunohara arrived at school.
<0102>
// \{Sunohara} "Well then, today's about looking for a new member yeah?"
<0103>
// \{\m{B}} "Gah..."
<0104>
// \{Sunohara} "We are only left with today aren't we?"
<0105>
// \{\m{B}} "I know that but..."
<0106>
// \{Sunohara} "Come on, let's finish lunch quickly and start on it."
<0107>
// \{Sunohara} "Good morning Nagisa-chan!"
<0108>
// \{Nagisa} "Good morning Sunohara-san."
<0109>
// \{Nagisa} "You're rather pumped up today."
<0110>
// \{Sunohara} "Ah well, today's our team formation day. Of course we're burning with passion."
<0111>
// \{\m{B}} "Go burn to death."
<0112>
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun, you shouldn't say such things."
<0113>
// \{Sunohara} "By the way, did she cause you guys any problems?"
<0114>
// \{Nagisa} "You mean Mei-chan?"
<0115>
// \{Sunohara} "Yeah."
<0116>
// \{Nagisa} "No, she was really helpful at the shop."
<0117>
// \{Nagisa} "I should be the one feeling bad about it."
<0118>
// \{Sunohara} "Well, if you're talking about that, there's no need to worry about her..."
<0119>
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, she's a very good girl."
<0120>
// \{\m{B}} "Give her to me."
<0121>
// \{Sunohara} "Dream on."
<0122>
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun, don't say weird stuff."
<0123>
// \{Sunohara} "It's okay, it's okay. Come on, let's start eating already."
<0124>
// With Sunohara urging on, we gobbled up our lunch quickly and started looking for a new member.
<0125>
// \{Nagisa} "Where do we go first?"
<0126>
// \{Sunohara} "...dammit, it's already evening."
<0127>
// \{\m{B}} "What are you going to do about the member?"
<0128>
// In the end, we couldn't find anyone up till now."
<0129>
// \{Sunohara} "Can't be helped then, we'll need Nagisa-chan's help."
<0130>
// \{Nagisa} "........."
<0131>
// Nagisa looked at me timidly.
<0132>
// As if asking me whether she's good enough for it.
<0133>
// \{\m{B}} "But with Mei-chan around, you can't really practise can you?"
<0134>
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, that could be a problem..."
<0135>
// \{Nagisa} "I'd like to practise shootouts tomorrow."
<0136>
// \{Sunohara} "You don't have to worry about practising, Nagisa-chan."
<0137>
// \{\m{B}} "What are you...?"
<0138>
// \{Sunohara} "We will be covering for you."
<0139>
// \{\m{B}} "Like I've said many times, it's useless if we have one stationary member!"
<0140>
// \{Sunohara} "I'll move twice as much."
<0141>
// \{\m{B}} "And get exhausted twice as fast?"
<0142>
// \{Sunohara} "True, I don't really have confidence in my stamina, even though I boast about my sport reflexes."
<0143>
// \{\m{B}} "That's because your lungs aren't pink!"
<0144>
// \{Nagisa} "Eh?"
<0145>
// \{Sunohara} "No, it's pinky pink."
<0146>
// \{Nagisa} "Erm... What am I supposed to do?"
<0147>
// Make her practise.
<0148>
// Make her go out with Mei-chan.
<0149>
// \{\m{B}} "Why not you concentrate on practising and let Mei-chan do whatever she please?"
<0150>
// \{\m{B}} "If you practise with us, it'll be okay for us to team up."
<0151>
// \{Nagisa} "I wanted to show her around the town."
<0152>
// \{\m{B}} "Please don't say impossible stuff. If we don't practise, we're gonna lose right?"
<0153>
// \{\m{B}} "Wouldn't you want to win since we're competing?"
<0154>
// \{Nagisa} "Yes..."
<0155>
// \{Nagisa} "...I understand. I'll talk to Mei-chan about it when I go back."
<0156>
// \{Nagisa} "I think I would prefer practising instead."
<0157>
// \{Sunohara} "A-ah, poor thing..."
<0158>
// \{\m{B}} "On a side note, you're the one to blame for agreeing on this match selfishly."
<0159>
// \{Sunohara} "Huh, me?!"
<0160>
// \{Nagisa} "No, it's no one's fault."
<0161>
// \{Nagisa} "This is my intention."
<0162>
// \{Nagisa} "As for Mei-chan, I'm very sorry about it."
<0163>
// \{Sunohara} "It's okay, it's okay, no need to worry about that person."
<0164>
// \{Nagisa} "Oh yes, why dont we let her see Sunohara-san practise?"
<0165>
// \{Sunohara} "Huh?"
<0166>
// \{Nagisa} "I'm sure she's worried about Sunohara."
<0167>
// \{Nagisa} "If she sees you working hard positively, I think she'd feel more relieved."
<0168>
// \{Sunohara} "She can just play around alone and go back."
<0169>
// \{Nagisa} "I don't think so."
<0170>
// \{Nagisa} "In any case, I'll try talking to her."
<0171>
// \{Sunohara} "Hmm, well okay... I'm counting on you."
<0172>
// \{Nagisa} "Right."
<0173>
// \{\m{B}} "Well.. okay then. You go have fun with Mei-chan tomorrow."
<0174>
// \{Nagisa} "Is that okay?"
<0175>
// \{\m{B}} "Perfectly."
<0176>
// I've already given up on winning.
<0177>
// I'll just treat it as a means of killing time and enjoy myself.
<0178>
// I changed to such a mindset.
<0179>
// \{\m{B}} "To make up for it, play hard on the day itself, okay?"
<0180>
// \{Nagisa} "Okay, I'll try my best to shoot."
<0181>
// \{\m{B}} (...so she thinks she'd have the chance to shoot.)
<0182>
// \{\m{B}} (Well, it's okay I guess, I'll let her shoot and see how it goes...)
<0183>
// \{Sunohara} "I look forward to it Nagisa-chan."
<0184>
// \{Nagisa} "Okay."
<0185>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0186>
// \{\m{B}} "There's no one else, can't be helped can it?"
<0187>
// \{Nagisa} "Uh, right..."
<0188>
// \{Nagisa} "I'll try my best."
<0189>
// \{Nagisa} "Then, is there practice tomorrow?"
<0190>
// \{Sunohara} "You don't have to worry about practising, Nagisa-chan."
<0191>
// \{\m{B}} "What are you...?"
<0192>
// \{Sunohara} "We will be covering for you."
<0193>
// \{\m{B}} "Like I've said many times, it's useless if we have one stationary member!"
<0194>
// \{Sunohara} "I'll move twice as much."
<0195>
// \{\m{B}} "And get exhausted twice as fast?"
<0196>
// \{Sunohara} "True, I don't really have confidence in my stamina, even though I boast about my sport reflexes."
<0197>
// \{\m{B}} "That's because your lungs aren't pink!"
<0198>
// \{Nagisa} "Eh?"
<0199>
// \{Sunohara} "No, it's pinky pink."
<0200>
// \{Nagisa} "Erm... I'd like to practise together."
<0201>
// \{Sunohara} "Then the three of us shall practise tomorrow."
<0202>
// \{Nagisa} "Okay!"
<0203>
// Search in the new school building.
<0204>
// Search in the old school building.
<0205>
// Search the second floor.
<0206>
// Search the third floor.
<0207>
// Since we have already searched the second floor of the new school building, we should try somewhere else.
<0208>
// The confident expression, which looked as if it had something to say, faded.
<0209>
// \{Sunohara} "What do we do now?..."
<0210>
// \{\m{B}} "I guess we search elsewhere..."
<0211>
// A familiar face appears.
<0212>
// \{Sunohara} "........."
<0213>
// Sunohara seems to notice and quickly turns around.
<0214>
// \{\m{B}} "I definitely think that's the best support in history we can find."
<0215>
// \{Sunohara} "Haha... I don't think we can recruit such an amateur."
<0216>
// Then why are you running away?
<0217>
// I had wanted to ask that, but come to think of it, we aren't really that close to her after all, it probably would be useless to even beg.
<0218>
// It's a pity, but we have to go search for the next candidate.
<0219>
// A familiar face appeared.
<0220>
// \{Sunohara} "........."
<0221>
// Sunohara seemed to realize too and stopped in his tracks.
<0222>
// \{\m{B}} "I... do think that's the best support in history we can find."
<0223>
// \{Sunohara} "Well... But..."
<0224>
// \{Sunohara} "There'd be communication problems."
<0225>
// \{\m{B}} "If you get kicked as a form of passing, how's that?"
<0226>
// \{Sunohara} "That's the kind of problem I'm talking about!"
<0227>
// \{\m{B}} "If you get kicked, you'll probably 'Whoosh!' through the air and manage a dunk."
<0228>
// \{Sunohara} "No way."
<0229>
// \{Sunohara} "Wait, that was a superbly stupid idea!"
<0230>
// \{Sunohara} "I mean, instead of the ball, \bI\u would be dunked..."
<0231>
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm, that could happen."
<0232>
// \{Nagisa} "Erm... after listening to what you two have said, I am picturing a monstrous character in my mind but..."
<0233>
// \{\m{B}} "Look, it's that person over there."
<0234>
// \{Nagisa} "Huh... which person?"
<0235>
// \{\m{B}} "Sakagami Tomoyo."
<0236>
// \{Nagisa} "Oh you mean Sakagami-san."
<0237>
// \{Nagisa} "I'd really like to talk to her."
<0238>
// \{\m{B}} "Then let's go."
<0239>
// \{\m{B}} "Sakagami Tomoyo. You've greeted her before haven't you?"
<0240>
// \{Nagisa} "Oh you mean Sakagami-san."
<0241>
// \{Nagisa} "I'd like to talk to her again."
<0242>
// \{\m{B}} "Then lets go."
<0243>
// \{Nagisa} "Okay, please do."
<0244>
// \{Sunohara} "Hold it!"
<0245>
// \{Sunohara} "Hold it right there!"
<0246>
// \{\m{B}} "You didn't have to say it twice."
<0247>
// \{Sunohara} "Are we really going to recruit Tomoyo?"
<0248>
// \{Sunohara} "Let's go through this again once more, how's that?"
<0249>
// \{Sunohara} "Just like this, close your eyes... and try imagining."
<0250>
// \{Sunohara} "The scene of the match..."
<0251>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0252>
// \{Sunohara} "How was it?"
<0253>
// \{\m{B}} "Well, it was really enjoyable."
<0254>
// \{Sunohara} "Wouldn't I be the only victim then?!"
<0255>
// \{\m{B}} "Other than you, no one's going to be sacrificed."
<0256>
// \{Sunohara} "Okay then let's talk about the most important point, the match. Will Tomoyo be able to play well?"
<0257>
// \{Sunohara} "Let's close our eyes again... Try simulating the scene..."
<0258>
// \{\m{B}} "Ok..."
<0259>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0260>
// \{\m{B}} "UWAAAAHHH! HA! HA! HA! That was really enjoyable!"
<0261>
// \{Sunohara} "Stop simulating scenes of me getting beaten up!"
<0262>
// \{\m{B}} "Ok fine, I get it."
<0263>
// \{Sunohara} "Do it seriously."
<0264>
// \{\m{B}} "Hmmm, let's see..."
<0265>
// In truth, it doesn't seem like Tomoyo would be omnipotent in sports.
<0266>
// If we were to recruit her anyhow, we might just end up with another immobile player.
<0267>
// But, Sunohara getting beaten up would be a real treat.
<0268>
// \{\m{B}} "UWAAAAH!!!! HA! HA! HA! HA!!"
<0269>
// \{Sunohara} "Why do you always arrive at that conclusion?!"
<0270>
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, calm down. BWAHAHAHAHA!"
<0271>
// \{Sunohara} "I think you should be the one calming down."
<0272>
// \{Sunohara} "Well then, what's the plan?"
<0273>
// It'll work.
<0274>
// Think through it again once more.
<0275>
// \{\m{B}} "It'll work."
<0276>
// I presented my thumb up firmly.
<0277>
// \{Sunohara} "Are you sure...?"
<0278>
// \{Sunohara} "Well can't be helped then... Let's try calling out for Tomoyo."
<0279>
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, if you do it too frivolously, she'll leave for sure."
<0280>
// \{Sunohara} "Yeah... Let's go."
<0281>
// Sunohara mustered up his courage, and slapped his face with his hands simultaneously.
<0282>
// \{\m{B}} "Tomoyo!"
<0283>
// \{Tomoyo} "Hmm...?"
<0284>
// \{Tomoyo} "I see it's \m{A}."
<0285>
// \{Tomoyo} "And the idiot along with..."
<0286>
// \{Tomoyo} "Oh an unfamiliar face."
<0287>
// \{Tomoyo} "Furthermore, a girl..."
<0288>
// \{Furukawa} "Erm, nice to meet you. I am Furukawa Nagisa from third year."
<0289>
// \{Tomoyo} "Ah, I'm Sakagami Tomoyo from second year. Nice to meet you..."
<0290>
// \{Tomoyo} "Well then... What's up today?"
<0291>
// \{\m{B}} "Nagisa, you want to say it?"
<0292>
// I asked Nagisa. In response she nodded deeply and stepped forward.
<0293>
// \{Nagisa} "Erm, Sakagami-san."
<0294>
// \{Tomoyo} "Yes."
<0295>
// \{Nagisa} "We are now going to play basketball."
<0296>
// \{Tomoyo} "With these two?"
<0297>
// \{Nagisa} "I am not playing. I'm something like a manager."
<0298>
// \{Tomoyo} "I see. That's true..."
<0299>
// \{Tomoyo} "If I remember correctly, Furukawa?"
<0300>
// \{Nagisa} "Yes."
<0301>
// \{Nagisa} "Good afternoon Sakagami-san."
<0302>
// \{Tomoyo} "Hmm, good afternoon I guess."
<0303>
// \{Tomoyo} "Well then... What's up today?"
<0304>
// \{\m{B}} "Nagisa, you want to say it?"
<0305>
// I asked Nagisa. In response she nodded deeply and stepped forward.
<0306>
// \{Nagisa} "Erm, Sakagami-san."
<0307>
// \{Tomoyo} "Yes."
<0308>
// \{Nagisa} "We are now going to play basketball."
<0309>
// \{Tomoyo} "...Stop spouting nonsense. What I heard before was that you guys are in Drama Club."
<0310>
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, we were from Drama Club. But there've been quite a bit of stuff going on in Drama Club."
<0311>
// \{Nagisa} "And..."
<0312>
// \{Nagisa} "In the end... Our club didn't get recognized."
<0313>
// \{Tomoyo} "I see... You have my pity."
<0314>
// \{Tomoyo} "Well, it seems you have a new target in mind..."
<0315>
// \{Tomoyo} "But it's really surprising that Basketball is chosen as an alternative of Drama Club."
<0316>
// \{Nagisa} "I am not playing. I am something like a manager."
<0317>
// \{Tomoyo} "I see. That I'd understand..."
<0318>
// \{Nagisa} "But we aren't joining the Basketball team."
<0319>
// \{Tomoyo} "What do you mean?"
<0320>
// \{Nagisa} "We received a challenge against the basketball team and we are working hard now."
<0321>
// \{Nagisa} "Sunohara-san, \m{B}-kun, people who can't really do sports even if they wanted to..."
<0322>
// \{Nagisa} "The two of them created a tiny basketball team in a short time."
<0323>
// \{Nagisa} "But there's only us..."
<0324>
// \{Nagisa} "Just the few of us outcasts... forming a basketball team."
<0325>
// \{Nagisa} "Even though it's small, everyone will work hard... during this period of time till graduation."
<0326>
// \{Nagisa} "Therefore, could you somehow..."
<0327>
// \{Nagisa} "Please watch over us warmly while we do so."
<0328>
// \{Tomoyo} "........."
<0329>
// \{Tomoyo} "...Hmm, I got it."
<0330>
// \{Tomoyo} "You guys work hard."
<0331>
// \{Tomoyo} "Bye."
<0332>
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, thank you very much!"
<0333>
// Tomoyo then left.
<0334>
// I saw her off in a daze.
<0335>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0336>
// \{\m{B}} "What the, WROOOOOOONNNG!"
<0337>
// \{Nagisa} "Huh?"
<0338>
// \{\m{B}} "Why did it end up as a mere report!?"
<0339>
// \{\m{B}} "We were supposed to recruit her!"
<0340>
// \{Nagisa} "Eh? Ah, you're right."
<0341>
// \{\m{B}} "Furthermore, we're not doing this till graduation! It's only up till Wednesday isn't it!"
<0342>
// \{\m{B}} "You added in way too much redundant stuff."
<0343>
// \{Nagisa} "I'm really sorry!"
<0344>
// \{Nagisa} "Sakagami-san~!"
<0345>
// Nagisa took off to chase after Tomoyo.
<0346>
// \{Sunohara} "But, I was rather touched..."
<0347>
// \{Sunohara} "Nagisa-chan actually had all those intentions..."
<0348>
// \{Sunohara} "Let's cherish this 3-on-3 group yeah?"
<0349>
// \{\m{B}} "NEVER!"
<0350>
// \{\m{B}} "Come on, let's go after her."
<0351>
// Come to think of it...
<0352>
// I thought as I ran.
<0353>
// \{\m{B}} (Nagisa's clumsy... but utmost expression, was unexpectedly dramatic...)
<0354>
// \{\m{B}} (In fact, it seems that even Sunohara got mesmerized...)
<0355>
// Tomoyo was standing in front of the message board.
<0356>
// Nagisa was just beside, giving it all to invite her.
<0357>
// We approached and stood beside them while attempting to pick up the conversation.
<0358>
// I'm sure that she'd be a better choice than me and Sunohara at inviting, she looks much more favourable afterall. Thus, I shall leave this in her care.
<0359>
// \{\m{B}} (Go for it Nagisa. You can do it.)
<0360>
// \{Nagisa} "I'd heard from the two of them that Sakagami-san, you have really great sport reflexes."
<0361>
// \{Tomoyo} "........."
<0362>
// \{Nagisa} "You are able to lift up not the ball, but Sunohara-san for dunking..."
<0363>
// \{Nagisa} "That was what Sunohara-san said."
<0364>
// \{\m{B}} (Gah... Nagisa, that invitation would just backfire...)
<0365>
// \{Nagisa} "That's really impressive, it isn't something anyone can do."
<0366>
// \{Tomoyo} "........."
<0367>
// 'Grrr',Tomoyo turned to look at Sunohara.
<0368>
// \{Sunohara} "Ha...."
<0369>
// \{Tomoyo} "Hmmm... Not something anyone can do I see."
<0370>
// \{Tomoyo} "In the first place..."
<0371>
// \{Sunohara} "In the first place?"
<0372>
// \{Tomoyo} "If no one can do it, how do I possibly do it?!"
<0373>
// \{Sunohara} "No, you're almost there."
<0374>
// \{Tomoyo} "Not possible to go all the way to the basket ring!"
<0375>
// \{Sunohara} "So it's just a matter of level!"
<0376>
// \{Nagisa} "........."
<0377>
// \{\m{B}} "This is very commonplace, don't have to worry about it Nagisa."
<0378>
// \{Nagisa} "Sunohara-san looks like he was in pain but, that was a really impressive kick."
<0379>
// \{Nagisa} "Just like what was said."
<0380>
// \{Tomoyo} "If I were to tell you that it's normal, wouldn't you be very shocked?..."
<0381>
// \{Nagisa} "Erm... Please?"
<0382>
// Nagisa bowed her head deeply.
<0383>
// \{Tomoyo} "I thought I'd told you already."
<0384>
// \{Tomoyo} "I am in the midst of working hard to achieve my goals."
<0385>
// \{Tomoyo} "It's very bothersome if you were to bow your head."
<0386>
// \{Tomoyo} I am in the midst of working hard to achieve my goals.
<0387>
// \{Tomoyo} "Look here."
<0388>
// Where Tomoyo was pointing her fingers to... was a notice on the message board.
<0389>
// \{Nagisa} "Eh.. What is this?"
<0390>
// As Nagisa put her face closer, she let off a exclamation of surprise.
<0391>
// \{Nagisa} "Very impressive Sakagami-san! You've been nominated as a student council chairperson candidate!"
<0392>
// \{Tomoyo} "I entered during the election period. That's why it's impossible for me to help."
<0393>
// I did hear of her aiming to be in the student council, but I never expected her to go for chairmanship.
<0394>
// \{Sunohara} "...You say chairperson candidate?"
<0395>
// The ignorant Sunohara replied as he heard it.
<0396>
// \{Tomoyo} "What, you really are just filled with complaints."
<0397>
// \{Sunohara} "No, I'm not complaining..."
<0398>
// \{Sunohara} "But I have some advice."
<0399>
// \{Tomoyo} "...What?"
<0400>
// \{Sunohara} "Our school's basketball team is rather strong. They even got into best 8 within the prefecture last year."
<0401>
// \{Tomoyo} "Yeah, rather strong indeed."
<0402>
// \{Sunohara} "As people who fail to enter any club activities, we are taking on the challenge of that basketball team."
<0403>
// \{Tomoyo} "Uh-huh."
<0404>
// \{Sunohara} "There's no way to win."
<0405>
// \{Tomoyo} "Most probably."
<0406>
// \{Sunohara} "That's why if we win... gossip will surely spread."
<0407>
// \{Sunohara} "As the gossip spreads within the school, your fame will be changed in the twinkling of an eye."
<0408>
// \{Tomoyo} "........."
<0409>
// \{Sunohara} "Oh, that's the candidate for student council chairperson."
<0410>
// \{Sunohara} "Everyone will probably vote for you."
<0411>
// \{Tomoyo} "...I do not wish to gather votes using such a method."
<0412>
// \{Tomoyo} "Isn't that rather dishonest?"
<0413>
// \{\m{B}} "Nope, I don't think it can be considered dishonest. It's a healthy sport after all."
<0414>
// I cut into the conversation.
<0415>
// \{Tomoyo} "I disagree. I've made my point that I will not approve of such an ulterior-motive bearing underhanded method."
<0416>
// \{Sunohara} "This person here has a thick head."
<0417>
// \{Tomoyo} "Sorry but go find someone else."
<0418>
// \{\m{B}} "Then how about you think of it this way?"
<0419>
// Make up for insufficient exercise.
<0420>
// Doing something stupid.
<0421>
// Do us a favour.
<0422>
// \{\m{B}} "You haven't been exercising recently, have you?"
<0423>
// \{Tomoyo} "Well I guess so."
<0424>
// \{\m{B}} "Treat this as a means to make up for insufficient exercise then, how's that?"
<0425>
// \{Tomoyo} "I don't really have to make up for anything."
<0426>
// \{Sunohara} "I see that even if you're slim now, in the end you'll just end up being fat."
<0427>
// \{Tomoyo} "Did you just say something?"
<0428>
// \{Sunohara} "I won't say it a second time."
<0429>
// \{Tomoyo} "That'd be good."
<0430>
// \{Tomoyo} "As we were saying,"
<0431>
// \{Tomoyo} "I'm not worrying about not having enough exercise, let alone feeling any ounce of need to go on diet."
<0432>
// \{Tomoyo} "Is there anything else?"
<0433>
// After all that she said, I guess it can't be helped.
<0434>
// \{\m{B}} "Nope, sorry for taking up your time. It's fine now."
<0435>
// \{Tomoyo} "I'm not really bothered about the few of you taking up my time."
<0436>
// \{Tomoyo} "Just that, it'd have been better if you guys have brought up something more interesting."
<0437>
// \{Nagisa} "I'm very sorry. I'll do that next time."
<0438>
// \{Tomoyo} "No you don't have to apologize. I was telling that to \m{A}."
<0439>
// \{\m{B}} "Okay, I'll do that next time."
<0440>
// \{Tomoyo} "I see, I'll look forward to it."
<0441>
// \{Tomoyo} "Bye then."
<0442>
// \{Nagisa} "Okay, see you next time."
<0443>
// \{Tomoyo} "Right."
<0444>
// Tomoyo left in a gallant manner.
<0445>
// \{Nagisa} "That was a pity."
<0446>
// \{Sunohara} "I'm highly relieved though."
<0447>
// \{\m{B}} "Let's not be discouraged and go find the next prospect."
<0448>
// \{Nagisa} "Okay."
<0449>
// \{\m{B}} "If you were to enter the student council, you won't be able to do stupid stuff again, right?"
<0450>
// \{\m{B}} "Why not do it for the last time?"
<0451>
// \{Tomoyo} "........."
<0452>
// \{Tomoyo} "The Last Reckless Stupidity, something like that?"
<0453>
// \{Tomoyo} "You're right in saying what you guys are doing is stupid."
<0454>
// \{\m{B}} "Yep."
<0455>
// \{Tomoyo} "Who are the members?"
<0456>
// \{\m{B}} "It's a 3-on-3 match, so we'll need three people."
<0457>
// \{\m{B}} "Me, Sunohara and you."
<0458>
// \{Tomoyo} "I see..."
<0459>
// Tomoyo looked hard at me and thought about it for a long time.
<0460>
// I too, looked back at her without averting her gaze, and waited on.
<0461>
// \{Tomoyo} "I'm done with thinking. When's the match?"
<0462>
// \{\m{B}} "The day after."
<0463>
// \{Tomoyo} "Got it. I'll give you my answer by then."
<0464>
// \{\m{B}} "Okay, I'm counting on you."
<0465>
// \{Nagisa} "Ah... Sakagami-san is such a wonderful person."
<0466>
// Nagisa has been in ecstasy from the point she realized Tomoyo is a chairman candidate.
<0467>
// \{Nagisa} "I'm very sure she'll be elected."
<0468>
// \{Nagisa} "If that happens... I'll be an acquaintance of the student council chairperson."
<0469>
// \{Nagisa} "This is something amazing."
<0470>
// \{Nagisa} "Will she still talk to me if she gets elected?"
<0471>
// \{Nagisa} "If she would, I'd be very happy."
<0472>
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, she wouldn't mind, if it's you that is."
<0473>
// \{Sunohara} "If that happens, I'm an acquaintance too..."
<0474>
// \{Sunohara} "Will she still kick me after becoming the chairperson?"
<0475>
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, she wouldn't mind, if it's you that is."
<0476>
// \{Sunohara} "I don't like that!"
<0477>
// \{\m{B}} "Take it as doing us a favour?"
<0478>
// \{Tomoyo} "Do you guys a favour?"
<0479>
// Tomoyo turned to look at Sunohara.
<0480>
// \{Tomoyo} "...I'd never want to get involved though."
<0481>
// \{Nagisa} "Erm, if there's anything we can do, we'll do so."
<0482>
// This time she turned to look at Nagisa.
<0483>
// \{Tomoyo} "........."
<0484>
// She looked at Nagisa quietly.
<0485>
// \{Nagisa} "Ehehe..."
<0486>
// \{Tomoyo} "I appreciate your feelings but I don't want to do anyone a favour."
<0487>
// \{Tomoyo} "In the first place, I don't like the idea of having an in-debt relationship."
<0488>
// \{Tomoyo} "You'll feel bad won't you?"
<0489>
// \{Nagisa} "Well, I guess so..."
<0490>
// \{Tomoyo} "Isn't it. If that's the case, don't say such stuff."
<0491>
// \{Tomoyo} "Let's enjoy a mutual relation instead."
<0492>
// \{Nagisa} "Okay, understood."
<0493>
// Nagisa had already tried her best to persuade.
<0494>
// \{Tomoyo} "Do your best. I'll just be giving you my support."
<0495>
// \{Nagisa} "Thank you very much."
<0496>
// \{Tomoyo} "Well then, bye."
<0497>
// Lastly, she turned to look at me. There's nothing else the matter I guess, I heard her say.
<0498>
// I sighed as I nodded my head.
<0499>
// As soon as she confirms it, she took her leave.
<0500>
// \{Nagisa} "That's a pity."
<0501>
// \{Sunohara} "I feel highly relieved though."
<0502>
// \{\m{B}} "Let's not be discouraged and start on the next prospect."
<0503>
// \{Nagisa} "Right."
<0504>
// It would certainly be enjoyable but...
<0505>
// \{\m{B}} (Come to think of it, our teamwork would probably suck...)
<0506>
// Basketball wouldn't be playable without teamwork.
<0507>
// \{\m{B}} "I see you've decided to let it pass?"
<0508>
// \{Sunohara} "You're finally doing some serious thinking for me..."
<0509>
// \{Sunohara} "I totally agree with your decision."
<0510>
// \{\m{B}} "But I think we should at least greet her or something."
<0511>
// \{Sunohara} "Nooooo!"
<0512>
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, she left."
<0513>
// \{Sunohara} "Phew..."
<0514>
// \{Nagisa} "I wanted to at least talk to her..."
<0515>
// \{\m{B}} "It's not just today, there are plenty of chances next time."
<0516>
// \{Nagisa} "That would be fine I guess..."
<0517>
// Since we've already searched the third floor of the new block, we decided to go elsewhere.
<0518>
// \{\m{B}} "I've got a good prospect in mind."
<0519>
// \{Sunohara} "Who?"
<0520>
// \{\m{B}} "Someone with great sport reflexes who prides herself in throws."
<0521>
// \{Sunohara} "...Could it be someone I know?"
<0522>
// \{\m{B}} "Yep, you certainly know her."
<0523>
// \{Nagisa} "Who might that be?"
<0524>
// \{\m{B}} "The person who was class chairperson when in second year."
<0525>
// \{Sunohara} "If she were to shoot three-pointers, she might just be unexpectedly good at it."
<0526>
// \{\m{B}} "Very probable."
<0527>
// \{Nagisa} "Sounds like someone really promising."
<0528>
// \{Nagisa} "Would she play basketball with us?"
<0529>
// \{\m{B}} "We would require some terms of negotiation...I guess."
<0530>
// \{\m{B}} "Anyway, let's just try talking to her."
<0531>
// \{Kyou} "Okay!"
<0532>
// \{Sunohara} "That was fast!"
<0533>
// \{\m{B}} "You agreed without even giving it any thought, didn't you?"
<0534>
// \{Kyou} "Eh? Why is that so?"
<0535>
// \{Kyou} "I heard you guys asking about basketball, so I replied 'Okay', what's wrong with that?"
<0536>
// \{\m{B}} "No, I mean, normally people would ask for the reasons right?"
<0537>
// \{Kyou} "Oh, hmm okay then, why are you playing basketball?"
<0538>
// \{Sunohara} "Once you've said OK, there's no turning back, clear?"
<0539>
// \{Kyou} "If the basketball you're talking about is the sport whereby you place a ball in the net, and if your reasons aren't outrageously weird, I don't see any problem in it."
<0540>
// \{\m{B}} "It's a normal basketball match but..."
<0541>
// Explain.
<0542>
// This is really troublesome...
<0543>
// \{\m{B}} "Well you see..."
<0544>
// \{Nagisa} "Erm... I'd like to explain myself."
<0545>
// Nagisa stepped forward after being silent since entering the classroom.
<0546>
// \{Kyou} "Nagisa...?"
<0547>
// \{Nagisa} "Yes."
<0548>
// \{Kyou} "Errr... who is this again?"
<0549>
// \{Nagisa} "Nice to meet you. I am Furukawa Nagisa from class B."
<0550>
// \{Nagisa} "Actually, \m{B}-kun and Sunohara-san are having a basketball match for my sake."
<0551>
// \{Kyou} "I see."
<0552>
// \{Nagisa} "For that purpose, we would require one more member..."
<0553>
// \{Nagisa} "Then \m{B}-kun and Sunohara-san told me about you."
<0554>
// \{Nagisa} "About you being really dependable."
<0555>
// \{Kyou} "Eh? Dependable? Ahahaha~, really? These guys actually said that about me?"
<0556>
// \{Nagisa} "Yes."
<0557>
// \{Sunohara} (Did I say that...?)
<0558>
// \{\m{B}} (...Don't overdo the beautification dammit...)
<0559>
// \{Kyou} "Aaaah, I see you guys have finally understood!"
<0560>
// \{Kyou} "I am that important? Hmm, can't be helped then~ If you're that desperate as you say, I guess I just have to accept the invitation then."
<0561>
// \{Sunohara} (Somehow this is pissing me off...)
<0562>
// \{\m{B}} (Endure it! There's no mistake that she'd make a great offensive.)
<0563>
// \{Nagisa} "Thank you very much."
<0564>
// \{Kyou} "It's okay, it's okay. We seem to be equally in some incomprehensible kind of trouble."
<0565>
// \{Kyou} "Ah, Youhei, Youhei."
<0566>
// \{Sunohara} "Yeeeah? W-what's the matter?"
<0567>
// \{Kyou} "I'm feeling rather thirsty, won't you get me some fruit milk?"
<0568>
// \{Sunohara} "Why me?"
<0569>
// \{Kyou} "You need a head count don't you~~?"
<0570>
// \{Sunohara} "Argh! You're the worst! Taking advantage of people in distress!"
<0571>
// \{Nagisa} "Erm... I think it'd be better if I went instead..."
<0572>
// \{Kyou} "Uh-uh, it's okay it's okay."
<0573>
// \{Kyou} "Basketball would require teamwork right?"
<0574>
// \{Kyou} "The basis of a master and servant relationship is similar to that of a servant's ability to pay attention to what the team leader has to say... No wait, there's no need for limbs."
<0575>
// \{Sunohara} "You are just a mere support, why are acting as if you're the leader!?"
<0576>
// \{Sunohara} "And what's with the self-correction of the 'servant' speak with 'limbs'? There's no link at all!"
<0577>
// \{\m{B}} "Sunohara."
<0578>
// \{Sunohara} "Don't try to stop me \m{A}! It'd be unacceptable if I don't state this clearly!"
<0579>
// \{Sunohara} "Basketball relies on teamwork. It is impossible use the oppressive system of a vertically structured society as a method of managing the basketball match!"
<0580>
// \{Sunohara} "Get that? We are of a horizontal relation and it will always be that way!"
<0581>
// \{\m{B}} "I'd like to have coffee milk."
<0582>
// \{Sunohara} "What?! The two of you are of vertical relations!"
<0583>
// \{Kyou} "It's a bit late to say that now..."
<0584>
// \{Sunohara} "The two of you haven't changed since second year!"
<0585>
// As he exclaimed, Sunohara left in a hurry.
<0586>
// You never changed either.
<0587>
// \{Nagisa} "The two of you, speak with identical tones."
<0588>
// \{Kyou} "Only when we're bullying Youhei that is."
<0589>
// \{\m{B}} "Well, do you feel like bullying him during the basketball match?"
<0590>
// \{Kyou} "You mean like a 4-on-2 match?"
<0591>
// \{\m{B}} "No, to be more accurate, it's a 3v2v1 match."
<0592>
// \{Kyou} "It would be even more interesting to have a 5v1 though."
<0593>
// \{\m{B}} "Oh that sounds good."
<0594>
// \{Kyou} "Ahahahahahaha."
<0595>
// \{\m{B}} "Hahahahahahaha."
<0596>
// Now where should I start explaining from...
<0597>
// It's a rather long story after all, explaining it would be troublesome.
<0598>
// \{Kyou} "What, is it such an unspeakable weird form of basketball?"
<0599>
// \{Sunohara} "\m{A} said there's absolutely no need to explain anything to you."
<0600>
// No, I never said such a thing.
<0601>
// \{Sunohara} "She'd already said OK to it didn't she? Then you shouldn't be bothered by such sticky girly details."
<0602>
// \{Sunohara} "She'll most probably laugh and say 'Leave it to me!' like a man."
<0603>
// \{Sunohara} "Or so \m{A} says."
<0604>
// \{\m{B}} "You aren't the least manly though..."
<0605>
// \{Sunohara} "Eh? You don't think so?"
<0606>
// \{\m{B}} "I never thought so."
<0607>
// But, even if one was to think of it that way, no one in his sane mind would voice it out so clearly...
<0608>
// \{Kyou} "........."
<0609>
// *Plop*... Without saying anything, Kyou placed her hands on Sunohara's shoulder.
<0610>
// \{Kyou} "\m{B}... Sorry but I guess I'm not joining the basketball thing."
<0611>
// \{Sunohara} "What! That's so unman.... ARGH~~~!"
<0612>
// Halfway through the conversation... Kyou sunk her fingers into Sunohara's shoulders.
<0613>
// This is bad. If his shoulder gets injured now, we'd have to look for 2 new members.
<0614>
// It's a bitch to look for one more person, let alone two!
<0615>
// \{\m{B}} "Sunohara, run for it!"
<0616>
// \{Sunohara} "O-Oh yeah!"
<0617>
// Shaking off Kyou's hand, he hastily escapes from the classroom.
<0618>
// But.
<0619>
// \{Kyou} "I'll have you dead and kill you again once more!!"
<0620>
// She took her thesaurus out of her bag and did an over-hand throw, hurling it straight at the back of Sunohara's neck.
<0621>
// \size{40} Wham! \shake{1}\size{}
<0622>
// \{Sunohara} "ARRRRGH~~~!!!!"
<0623>
// It was a magnificent bullseye. Sunoahra fell face-down flat on the floor.
<0624>
// \{Kyou} "If you don't want to die, stay still and let me kill you nicely..."
<0625>
// Kyou turned towards the direction of Sunohara after pulling off her finishing blow.
<0626>
// \{Nagisa} "Impressive! It actually hit!"
<0627>
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah... With her powerful ball-controlling skills, it'd certainly have boosted our competency if we had successfully recruited her."
<0628>
// \{Nagisa} "Is it impossible to ask her again?"
<0629>
// \{\m{B}} "Not when Sunohara is part of the team I guess."
<0630>
// \{Nagisa} "I see... That's a pity."
<0631>
// \{\m{B}} "I guess there's no other way. Let's not be discouraged and continue with the search."
<0632>
// \{Nagisa} "Yes."
<0633>
// \{Sunohara} "AAAHHHHH!!!!!"\shake{1}
<0634>
// \{\m{B}} "Kyou if you want to hurt him, at least stop at the point whereby he will still be able to play basketball."
<0635>
// \{Kyou} "Praying for his well-being I see!"
<0636>
// \{Sunohara} "Help, \pGah!\shake{1} \pAAAAHHHHH!"\shake{1}
<0637>
// \{Sunohara} "Pain... I feel pain everywhere..."
<0638>
// \{Nagisa} "Sunohara-san, are you alright?"
<0639>
// \{\m{B}} "Even if his limbs are unharmed, it'd still be a problem if he suffers from brain damage."
<0640>
// \{Sunohara} "I'd be dead if that's the case!"
<0641>
// \{\m{B}} "Well, that's because Kyou went easy on you, considering that you have a basketball match."
<0642>
// \{Sunohara} "Even though she was hitting me with a CHAIR while I was sprawled on the floor...?"
<0643>
// \{\m{B}} "Even though she doesn't look like it, but it seems that she does have some kind points to note. Hahaha."
<0644>
// \{Sunohara} "Actually it's you, who was laughing at me throughout the entire spectacle, that's really scary!"
<0645>
// \{\m{B}} "Well, it's been a common thing during second year wasn't it."
<0646>
// \{Sunohara} "I guess so..."
<0647>
// Haaaah... I lowered my shoulders as I sighed.
<0648>
// \{\m{B}} "But, we've yet to recruit another member..."
<0649>
// \{Sunohara} "Ah! I've got it! I've got a person in mind!"
<0650>
// \{\m{B}} "Who is it?"
<0651>
// \{Sunohara} "What do you think of latent capabilities?"
<0652>
// \{\m{B}} "...huh?"
<0653>
// \{Sunohara} "Cat Robot's elder brother always acts stupid and screws up his work, but the younger sister is always excelling in her tasks isn't it?"
<0654>
// \{Sunohara} "But when the elder brother becomes serious, he can do wonders right?"
<0655>
// \{\m{B}} "I have totally no idea what you're talking about."
<0656>
// \{Sunohara} "It wouldn't be too far fetched to speculate that a younger sister possesses abilities of her elder sister, would it?"
<0657>
// \{\m{B}} "In other words...?"
<0658>
// \{Sunohara} "If Fujibayashi Kyou can do it, there is a possibility of Ryou-chan being able to do the same thing."
<0659>
// \{\m{B}} "...Fujibayashi I see..."
<0660>
// I really can't imagine the scene of that chairperson having quick reflexes and beautiful shots.
<0661>
// just as I was thinking about it, Sunohara put his arm around my neck.
<0662>
// \{Sunohara} (Or would you rather Nagisa-chan participate instead?)
<0663>
// \{\m{B}} (Well... That's...)
<0664>
// \{Sunohara} (\m{A}, think of the probability.)
<0665>
// \{Sunohara} (Would you rather have Nagisa-chan, or Fujibayashi Kyou's younger twin sister?)
<0666>
// \{\m{B}} (.........)
<0667>
// \{\m{B}} "Let's give it a try."
<0668>
// \{Nagisa} "Is it someone from \m{B}-kun's class?"
<0669>
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, there lies our Ultimate Weapon."
<0670>
// \{Sunohara} "Oh, there she is. Fortune-telling again as usual."
<0671>
// Right before where Sunohara was looking at, a group of people was crowding around the table of a girl.
<0672>
// Right in the middle was Fujibayashi.
<0673>
// \{Sunohara} "Alright alriiight, excuse me will you, sorry about that~"
<0674>
// Sunohara cut through the wall of people and approached Fujibayashi.
<0675>
// We followed along behind.
<0676>
// \{Sunohara} "Ryou-chan."
<0677>
// \{Ryou} "Y-yes...?"
<0678>
// She had just finished fortune-telling with some person and gave off a startled look as she was tidying up her cards.
<0679>
// \{Sunohara} "Sorry to bother in the middle of a fortune-telling session, do you have a minute? I have something to discuss."
<0680>
// \{Ryou} "E-erm... If it's about fortune-telling, you'd have to queue up by order... well..."
<0681>
// \{Sunohara} "Ah, no no, nothing to do fortune-telling."
<0682>
// \{Sunohara} "Ah but maybe I should use this as a chance to get some fortune-telling?"
<0683>
// \{Ryou} "...Eh?"
<0684>
// \{Sunohara} "Sorry everyone, some important business here."
<0685>
// After gesturing apologetically to the girls waiting in line to have their fortune told, he turned to face Fujibayashi again.
<0686>
// \{Sunohara} "We have a basketball match against the basketball team the day after."
<0687>
// \{Ryou} "Y-yes."
<0688>
// \{Sunohara} "Won't you predict whether we have any chances of winning?"
<0689>
// \{Ryou} "Against the basketball team... is that right?"
<0690>
// \{Sunohara} "Yeah, I'm counting on you."
<0691>
// \{Ryou} "U-understood."
<0692>
// Fujibayashi started to shuffle her cards, seemingly rather apologetic to the girls in line.
<0693>
// She then spread out the cards in a fan shape, and held them out towards Sunohara.
<0694>
// \{Ryou} "Please pick 4 cards from here."
<0695>
// \{Sunohara} "4 cards eh. Let's see, I shall have this, this... this and this."
<0696>
// \{Ryou} "Alright."
<0697>
// As Sunohara picked out the cards, he lined them on the table in order.
<0698>
// \{Ryou} "3 of Clovers, Ace of Hearts, King and Queen of Diamonds..."
<0699>
// \{Ryou} "...3 of Clovers, the three leaves of the clover refers to the uniting of the might of 3 entities."
<0700>
// \{Ryou} "As for the Ace, it signifies the beginning. Hearts refers the ability to trust."
<0701>
// \{Sunohara} "I see I see, in other words it is the beginning of the gathering of 3 people who are able to trust each other."
<0702>
// \{Ryou} "Yes. As for King of Diamonds, the King signifies the End while the Diamond signifies Unity."
<0703>
// \{Ryou} "Lastly the Queen of Diamonds, the Diamond here is hard, signifying the ability to protect."
<0704>
// \{Sunohara} "Hmm hmmm, in other words, we are able to protect what we want to protect, does that mean we'd win?"
<0705>
// \{Ryou} "Yes."
<0706>
// \{Sunohara} "ALRIGHT-! \m{A}, Nagisa-chan, you heard that! It's a good sign!"
<0707>
// \{Nagisa} "Yes. A happy ending indeed."
<0708>
// \{\m{B}} "...This won't do..."
<0709>
// \{Sunohara} "Eh?"
<0710>
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun?"
<0711>
// \{\m{B}} "Fujibayashi, thanks for the fortune-telling."
<0712>
// \{\m{B}} "That was really a lot of help, yep."
<0713>
// \{\m{B}} "Well then, that's all."
<0714>
// \{Ryou} "Eh...Ah... O-okay."
<0715>
// I grabbed the arms of Nagisa and Sunohara, quickly escaping from the classroom.
<0716>
// \{Sunohara} "What was that about?"
<0717>
// Once we reached the corridor, Sunohara shook off my grasp.
<0718>
// \{Sunohara} "If we were to recruit Ryou-chan in the condition, everything will be OK."
<0719>
// \{Sunohara} "We even got a great sign from the fortune-telling."
<0720>
// \{\m{B}} "It won't do..."
<0721>
// \{Nagisa} "Why won't it do? I would like you to explain."
<0722>
// \{\m{B}} "...Fujibayashi's fortune-telling is totally off..."
<0723>
// \{Nagisa} "It's wrong to have such biasedness."
<0724>
// \{\m{B}}"I'm not being biased, it's really derailed. Really."
<0725>
// \{Nagisa} "But..."
<0726>
// \{\m{B}} "Wouldn't that sum up what would happen if we were to recruit here?"
<0727>
// \{\m{B}} "I'm referring to that fortune-telling we had."
<0728>
// \{Sunohara} "It's just fortune-telling after all right? We don't really have to take it that seriously."
<0729>
// \{\m{B}} "In any case, no means no! We'll go look for someone else!"
<0730>
// A high-spirited Sunohara.
<0731>
// But somehow the "Aaah..." and " That's cute..." sounds that are whispered from around me is causing me unrest.
<0732>
// \{\m{B}} "Just asking by the way, what did the last Queen refer to?"
<0733>
// \{Ryou} "Ah, y-yes, erm... In order to achieve the results, having a female is a requirement."
<0734>
// --A female is required.
<0735>
// Sunohara's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
<0736>
// \{Sunohara} "You're right, your fortune-telling is spot on."
<0737>
// \{Ryou} "Eh?"
<0738>
// \{Sunohara} "A female, in other words to have a Lady Luck."
<0739>
// \{Sunohara} "Ryou-chan, you are hereby the last member in our basketball team."
<0740>
// \{Ryou} "Oh, I see..."
<0741>
// \{Ryou} "........."
<0742>
// \{Ryou} "......"
<0743>
// \{Ryou} "Eh?! M-me?!"
<0744>
// \{Sunohara} "Yep."
<0745>
// \{Ryou} "Eh, erm.. eh? That is, you see... I-I can't really play basketball... well..."
<0746>
// \{Sunohara} "It's alright, I have faith in your latent capabilities for the match."
<0747>
// Sunohara gave a firm thumbs up to a flustered Fujibayashi.
<0748>
// \{Ryou} "B-but... How could you... This is so sudden..."
<0749>
// \{Sunohara} "Hey \m{A}, why don't you beg her too?"
<0750>
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm? Eh.. Ah, you're right I guess."
<0751>
// I beg of you, please be a member of our team.
<0752>
// You don't really have to force yourself or anything you know.
<0753>
// \{\m{B}} "Although this is a sudden short-notice, won't you lend us a helping hand by joining our team?"
<0754>
// \{Nagisa} "I too, would like to ask you of this favour."
<0755>
// \{Ryou} "Eh, erm... But... I think I would probably drag you guys down..."
<0756>
// \{\m{B}} "But it would probably be a better situation than having this person instead."
<0757>
// \{Nagisa} "I'm really sorry, I can't really do sports."
<0758>
// \{Sunohara} "You'll be fine, you're the sister of that Fujibayashi Kyou afterall."
<0759>
// \{Sunohara} "I'm sure the DNA of Fujibayashi will lead us to victory."
<0760>
// \{Ryou} "E-erm... Wouldn't my sister be a better choice then...?"
<0761>
// \{\m{B}} "This idiot said some stupid things to your sister, thus resulting in a refusal."
<0762>
// \{Sunohara} "I guess my stupidity and idiocy is unsalvagable..."
<0763>
// \{\m{B}} "Basically, this match is a problem started by me and this octopus."
<0764>
// \{Nagisa} "Won't you please agree to it?"
<0765>
// Right beside me, Nagisa lowered down her head.
<0766>
// \{Ryou} "Ah... Wah wah... E-even if you were to lower your head..."
<0767>
// \{\m{B}} "...It's a 'no' I guess?"
<0768>
// \{Ryou} "Uu..."
<0769>
// \{Ryou} "H-helpfulness wise, I'm not really confident about myself... But well..."
<0770>
// \{Ryou} "If I'm good enough... Well..., D-do give me a chance to prove myself."
<0771>
// \{Sunohara} "YEAH! It's decided then!"
<0772>
// A high-spirited Sunohara with both his hands in the air.
<0773>
// But, for some reason we're receiving a lot of sorrow-filled looks from around us."
<0774>
// \{\m{B}} "You don't really have to force yourself or anything you know."
<0775>
// \{Sunohara} "\m{A}?!"
<0776>
// \{\m{B}} "If we were to force her to become our member, then it would be meaningless, isn't it."
<0777>
// \{Sunohara} "But she's the sister of Fujibayashi Kyou yeah? She'll most surely become a great fighting force."
<0778>
// \{Ryou} "W-what are you talking about...?"
<0779>
// \{Sunohara} "Ryou-chan, you're made up of the same Fujibayashi DNA."
<0780>
// \{Sunohara} "You'll surely be really helpful to us. Yeah?"
<0781>
// \{Ryou} "Ah... Uuhh... Even if you say that... I..."
<0782>
// \{Nagisa} "Sunohara-san. It's bad to force her."
<0783>
// \{Sunohara} "N-Nagisa-chan, even you..."
<0784>
// \{Nagisa} "Moreover, it's like what Fujibayashi-san's fortune-telling has said."
<0785>
// \{Nagisa} "We need 3 people who trust each other in order to win."
<0786>
// \{Nagisa} "I don't think we would achieve that by forcing it upon someone."
<0787>
// \{Nagisa} "I think it all boils down to respecting the person's personal wishes."
<0788>
// \{Sunohara} "Uuhh... Nnnn..."
<0789>
// \{\m{B}} "Just like that, sorry for spouting weird stuff all of a sudden."
<0790>
// \{Ryou} "Ah...uu...Well..."
<0791>
// \{Ryou} "S-sorry... I'm not really good at sports..."
<0792>
// \{Ryou} "I'm sure that... I'd become more of a burden than help..."
<0793>
// \{Ryou} "I'm really sorry."
<0794>
// \{\m{B}} "Aahh, don't worry about it."
<0795>
// \{Nagisa} "We too, should apologize."
<0796>
// Nagisa and Fujibayashi kept bowing to each other.
<0797>
// If we were to continue searching in the old school block, there wouldn't be enough time I guess...
<0798>
// Search the empty classroom.
<0799>
// Search the Reference Room.
<0800>
// We've already searched the empty classroom before, better look elsewhere.
<0801>
// There isn't enough time to search the empty classroom, better look elsewhere.
<0802>
// \{Nagisa} "The clubrooms?"
<0803>
// \{\m{B}} "No, I meant other empty classrooms."
<0804>
// \{Nagisa} "Would anyone be present?"
<0805>
// \{\m{B}} "Who knows?"
<0806>
// \{Sunohara} "Could you hold on a minute, there's no way an empty classroom can have anyone present right?"
<0807>
// \{Sunohara} "If they are empty classrooms, they will be empty. YOU UNDERSTAND?"
<0808>
// \{\m{B}} "Insufficient time to even look around I see..."
<0809>
// \{\m{B}} "By the way, your English usage is wrong."
<0810>
// Well I did manage to meet a female student before, but that's a rare occurrence.
<0811>
// \{Sunohara} "Let's search in places where they'd be people."
<0812>
// \{\m{B}} "I guess so."
<0813>
// \{\m{B}} "No wait, the room next door."
<0814>
// \{Nagisa} "Is anyone in there?"
<0815>
// \{\m{B}} "Yep, there's someone there..."
<0816>
// \{Sunohara} "What kind of person?"
<0817>
// \{\m{B}} "You've met her before. She even called you a weirdo with a head of impossible colours."
<0818>
// \{Sunohara} "Eh, you mean that little kid, will she even be useful?"
<0819>
// \{\m{B}} "Her actions are nimble... I think."
<0820>
// \{Sunohara} "I see... Speed is more important than arm strength in basketball yeah? Then I think it's okay."
<0821>
// Is he alright? He just accepted it so easily...
<0822>
// \{Sunohara} "What's wrong? Let's go ask her of the favour."
<0823>
// \{\m{B}} "A-ah yeah..."
<0824>
// \{\m{B}} "Then you had better make sure the exit there is tightly shut."
<0825>
// \{Sunohara} "Eh?"
<0826>
// \{\m{B}} "I mentioned that she's nimble right? If we were only on one side, she could escape from the other exit."
<0827>
// \{Sunohara} "Woah, isn't that remarkable."
<0828>
// \{Sunohara} "Okay, leave the back to me."
<0829>
// Sunohara positioned himself at the back door of the empty classroom.
<0830>
// \{\m{B}} "Ok, let's go."
<0831>
// \{Nagisa} "Okay."
<0832>
// Nagisa and I entered from the front door.
<0833>
// As usual, she was carving wood by herself.
<0834>
// \{Nagisa} "Is that a girl?"
<0835>
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."
<0836>
// \{Nagisa} "Good afternoon."
<0837>
// Engrossed in her work, she failed to notice Nagisa's greeting.
<0838>
// \{\m{B}} "Oi you."
<0839>
// I got closer to her and placed my hand on her head.
<0840>
// \{Fuuko} "Eh...?"
<0841>
// \{Fuuko} "Wah!"
<0842>
// \{Fuuko} "Fuuko did no wrong!"
<0843>
// She lowered her head to escape from my hand before standing up from her seat to run away.
<0844>
// She headed for the back door.
<0845>
// The door over there opened up suddenly.
<0846>
// \{Sunohara} "Heh heh... Where do you think you're going, Miss?"
<0847>
// Sunohara stood there while spouting lines similar to that of a villainous character.
<0848>
// \{Sunohara} "Now be good and I won't..."
<0849>
// *Whoosh* *Whoosh*!
<0850>
// \{Sunohara} "WOAH!?"
<0851>
// Slipping through that imminent grasp, Fuuko broke through Sunohara's wall of defense magnificently.
<0852>
// \{\m{B}} "Sunohara, what are you doing!"
<0853>
// \{Sunohara} "I see she's rather good..."
<0854>
// \{\m{B}} "Let's give chase!"
<0855>
// \{Sunohara} "Right!"
<0856>
// We stepped out into the corridor.
<0857>
// \{Sunohara} "Aahhn? Where'd she go?"
<0858>
// \{\m{B}} "Over there."
<0859>
// Fuuko was stretched out against a perpendicular wall directly up ahead.
<0860>
// \{Fuuko} "........."
<0861>
// Her eyes were firmly shut.
<0862>
// \{\m{B}} "Is that some great idea of her's to hide herself?"
<0863>
// \{Sunohara} "The only thing she's hiding is her back, isn't it?"
<0864>
// \{\m{B}} "Pokey."
<0865>
// I sunk my finger into Fuuko's cheeks.
<0866>
// \{Fuuko} "Nnnnnn..."
<0867>
// She endured it with her might.
<0868>
// \{\m{B}} "Huh?"
<0869>
// \{Nagisa} "It's wrong to bully a girl."
<0870>
// \{\m{B}} "But, she thinks she's hiding herself this way."
<0871>
// \{Nagisa} "She wants you to leave her alone, but she's keeping quiet that's all."
<0872>
// \{Nagisa} "Let me talk to her instead."
<0873>
// Nagisa stood in front of her in place of me.
<0874>
// \{Nagisa} "We're not chasing after you anymore, so can't we just talk?"
<0875>
// \{Fuuko} "........."
<0876>
// \{Nagisa} "I am Furukawa Nagisa of third year."
<0877>
// \{Nagisa} "You're from first-year right? Could you tell me your name?"
<0878>
// \{Fuuko} "........."
<0879>
// \{Nagisa} "Are you unwilling to tell me?"
<0880>
// \{Fuuko} "........."
<0881>
// \{Fuuko} "Could it be, you're asking Fuuko?"
<0882>
// \{Nagisa} "Yes. So you're called Fuuko-chan?"
<0883>
// \{Fuuko} "I've been found!"
<0884>
// \{Fuuko} "Even worse, my name has been discovered!"
<0885>
// \{\m{B}} "See, I told you she was attempting to hide herself."
<0886>
// \{Nagisa} "........."
<0887>
// As expected, Nagisa froze on the spot.
<0888>
// \{Fuuko} "Fuuko has done no wrong deeds."
<0889>
// \{Nagisa} "Yes, done nothing."
<0890>
// \{Nagisa} "We've approached you only to ask you some stuff."
<0891>
// \{Fuuko} "And that is?"
<0892>
// \{Nagisa} "Do you want to play basketball with us?"
<0893>
// \{Fuuko} "I don't have time for that."
<0894>
// \{Fuuko} "Even though I look as such, Fuuko is so busy that I'm frowning."
<0895>
// \{Nagisa} "What are you working on?"
<0896>
// \{Fuuko} "Carving."
<0897>
// She handed out the piece of wood in her hands carefully for Nagisa to see.
<0898>
// \{Nagisa} "Is that an Art class assignment?"
<0899>
// \{Fuuko} "Nope."
<0900>
// \{Nagisa} "Then, is that your hobby?"
<0901>
// \{Fuuko} "I like what I'm carving, but I don't like to carve."
<0902>
// \{Fuuko} "But I think I want to work harder."
<0903>
// \{Sunohara} "I don't get her at all..."
<0904>
// An impatient Sunohara butted in.
<0905>
// \{Sunohara} "What are you doing this for?"
<0906>
// \{Nagisa} "Sunohara-san, you're being too harsh with your words."
<0907>
// \{Nagisa} "But I'd like to know too."
<0908>
// \{Nagisa} "Fuuko-chan, would it be okay with you to explain to us?"
<0909>
// \{Fuuko} "Well, I could tell you secretly."
<0910>
// \{Nagisa} "Alright, I shall secretly listen."
<0911>
// Nagisa alone had the answer whispered into her ears.
<0912>
// \{Nagisa} "That is, congratulations."
<0913>
// \{Fuuko} "Not yet."
<0914>
// \{Fuuko} "I'd like you to tell me only then."
<0915>
// \{Nagisa} "Okay. I'll say it now and I'll say it when the time comes."
<0916>
// \{Sunohara} "Well, what is it?"
<0917>
// \{Fuuko} "I do not want to tell the guy with yellow hair."
<0918>
// \{Sunohara} "Why!?"
<0919>
// \{Nagisa} "That's right Fuuko-chan. If you want a celebration, it's better to let more people know about it."
<0920>
// \{Fuuko} "Yes, you're right."
<0921>
// \{Sunohara} "I don't really understand but do you want many people to know about it?"
<0922>
// \{Fuuko} "Yes, I do."
<0923>
// \{Sunohara} "Then wouldn't the coming basketball match be a suitable place to do so?"
<0924>
// \{Sunohara} "If we could beat the basketball team guys at their own game, we'll become famous."
<0925>
// \{Fuuko} "Is that true?"
<0926>
// That's some really big bait she's trying to bite...
<0927>
// Perhaps she thinks that if she became famous, the more people would turn up to celebrate for her sister's wedding.
<0928>
// \{Fuuko} "Will everyone be made known of Fuuko?"
<0929>
// \{Sunohara} "Yeah, you'd become the school idol the next day."
<0930>
// \{Fuuko} "Will I be able to become like Momoi Kaori?"
<0931>
// \{Sunohara} "That comparison is rather weird but..."
<0932>
// \{Sunohara} "But most people will get to learn about you. This I'm very sure of."
<0933>
// \{Fuuko} "Really?"
<0934>
// \{Sunohara} "Yep."
<0935>
// \{Fuuko} "I just have to play basketball?"
<0936>
// \{Sunohara} "But, are you able to do so? If you're not a good enough player, it'd be meaningless."
<0937>
// \{Fuuko} "I'll try my best"
<0938>
// \{Sunohara} "What do you suggest, \m{A}?"
<0939>
// \{Sunohara} "Is this really okay with you?"
<0940>
// Yes.
<0941>
// Reconsider.
<0942>
// \{\m{B}} "She has sufficient mobility, we could put that to good use."
<0943>
// \{Sunohara} "Really?"
<0944>
// \{\m{B}} "Weren't you fooled by her appearance too?"
<0945>
// \{Sunohara} "Well sort of..."
<0946>
// \{Sunohara} "Then it's decided. The match is on the day after. I'll be counting on you."
<0947>
// \{Fuuko} "Okay. Please shoot like a little boat."
<0948>
// \{\m{B}} "That's a weird contrast, yo."
<0949>
// \{Nagisa} "Fuuko-chan, I'm counting on you."
<0950>
// \{Fuuko} "Okay."
<0951>
// ...The answer is obvious if you think through it calmly.
<0952>
// There's no way such a dwarfed, clumsy person would be of any use.
<0953>
// \{\m{B}} "Nah I think not."
<0954>
// \{Sunohara} "I think so too."
<0955>
// \{Fuuko} "These two are really screwed up with their manners."
<0956>
// \{Nagisa} "I agree, how rude."
<0957>
// \{Nagisa} "I'll get mad at them later, Fuuko-chan please don't be angry."
<0958>
// \{Fuuko} "Well, I think I might want to have some juice, I'm getting hungry."
<0959>
// That's some clear-cut response, yo.
<0960>
// \{Nagisa} "Understood, I'll go buy it for you, please don't be angry."
<0961>
// \{Fuuko} "Really?!"
<0962>
// \{Nagisa} "Really. It's my treat."
<0963>
// \{Fuuko} "Then I'd like to have some fruit juice."
<0964>
// \{Nagisa} "Ok understood."
<0965>
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm...."
<0966>
// \{Sunohara} "Man, even if Nagisa-chan were to treat her, it's simply a waste of efforts."
<0967>
// \{Nagisa} "That's not true. We managed to get along well."
<0968>
// I don't know if I can really call this 'getting along well'...
<0969>
// Since we've already searched the reference room, we should do so elsewhere.
<0970>
// \{Sunohara} "So where do we go?"
<0971>
// \{\m{B}} "Reference room."
<0972>
// \{Sunohara} "Talking about the reference room, it's the perfect napping place."
<0973>
// About three years ago, that place used to be where the library was.
<0974>
// I heard from my seniors that the library was too small for a pre-university library, thus being a disgrace.
<0975>
// In response to the students' demands, a library was created on a separate level, and the books that couldn't fit there were safekept in the original room, which became the reference room.
<0976>
// Since it's a place where unpopular books are shoved into, the number of visiting students are little, making it a rather quiet place.
<0977>
// \{\m{B}} (Which explains its silence and ease of sleeping..."
<0978>
// \{Sunohara} "But, are you sure there'd be anyone in there?"
<0979>
// \{\m{B}} "Who knows?"
<0980>
// \{Sunohara} "But, are you sure there'd be anyone in there?"
<0981>
// \{\m{B}} "Probably."
<0982>
// I stood in front of the reference room.
<0983>
// \{Nagisa} "There's a reference room here? I never knew that."
<0984>
// \{\m{B}} "Well, probably because this place doesn't stand out much..."
<0985>
// \{\m{B}} "Let's go."
<0986>
// I opened the door and entered the room.
<0987>
// A single female student was present.
<0988>
// \{Miyazawa} "Welcome. I see you've brought along quite a few people."
<0989>
// \{\m{B}} "Ah, I guess so..."
<0990>
// \{Sunohara} "Wow, there's a girl in such a place..."
<0991>
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun, a friend of yours?"
<0992>
// \{\m{B}} "Not that close a friend though... Well, how should I put it?"
<0993>
// \{Miyazawa} "Nice to meet you. I am Miyazawa."
<0994>
// \{Nagisa} "Nice to meet you, I am Furukawa Nagisa."
<0995>
// They finished with their greetings stiffly.
<0996>
// \{Female Student} "Welcome!"
<0997>
// \{Female Student} "Eh? First-timers?"
<0998>
// ...What? Is this place some sort of shop or something?...
<0999>
// \{Female Student} "Nice to meet you. I am Miyazawa."
<1000>
// She did her greetings stiffly.
<1001>
// \{Sunohara} (Shall we ask this girl?)
<1002>
// Thereafter, Sunohara asked in a soft voice.
<1003>
// Ask.
<1004>
// Don't ask.
<1005>
// \{\m{B}} (Yeah. She's in here alone for some reason, maybe she has budding thoughts of making friends?)
<1006>
// \{Sunohara} (Well, we do treat this place like a bed after all.)
<1007>
// \{Miyazawa} "Erm, is anything wrong?"
<1008>
// \{Sunohara} "Okay, let me explain."
<1009>
// \{Sunohara} "Do you want to play basketball?"
<1010>
// \{\m{B}} "That is so totally not explaining the situation."
<1011>
// \{Sunohara} "I'm explaining now!"
<1012>
// \{Sunohara} "We have a match with the basketball team."
<1013>
// \{Sunohara} "You understand what's a 3-on-3?"
<1014>
// \{Sunohara} "Well, I'm talking about a basketball match that is."
<1015>
// \{Sunohara} "Will you join?"
<1016>
// \{\m{B}} "Wow your explanation totally sucks."
<1017>
// \{Miyazawa} "You're asking me to join?"
<1018>
// \{Sunohara} "That's right. To be stoning here alone, aren't you an outcast like us?"
<1019>
// \{Sunohara} "Since we're fellow outcasts, we'd probably get along well. We could team up nicely I think."
<1020>
// \{Miyazawa} "I see..."
<1021>
// \{Miyazawa} "But for me, basketball isn't really my forte you know?"
<1022>
// \{\m{B}} "Well, you're probably much better off than her."
<1023>
// I put my hand on Nagisa's head as I said that.
<1024>
// \{Nagisa} "Sorry, I'm not really good at basketball..."
<1025>
// \{Miyazawa} "Is that so?"
<1026>
// \{Miyazawa} "If a person like me can be of any help, then I don't really care."
<1027>
// \{Sunohara} "Well, basically the two of us don't have any mobility problems."
<1028>
// \{Sunohara} "Okay, it's decided then."
<1029>
// \{Nagisa} "I'm counting on you then."
<1030>
// \{\m{B}} (Maybe not... To suddenly ask a stranger, not to mention a girl...)
<1031>
// \{\m{B}} (Maybe not... She's rather ordinary after all...)
<1032>
// \{Sunohara} (Yeah, if we're to recruit a female, Misae-san would make a better choice.)
<1033>
// \{\m{B}} (I see, you still have that up your sleeve...)
<1034>
// 'Sorry to bother', I exited to the corridor as I said that.
<1035>
// Look for Misae-san.
<1036>
// That won't do either.
<1037>
// \{\m{B}} "Let's make it Misae-san then."
<1038>
// \{Sunohara} "But, she has huge breasts no?"
<1039>
// \{\m{B}} "Then just what is it you want?"
<1040>
// \{Sunohara} "I was just thinking if she'd be more of a hindrance."
<1041>
// \{\m{B}} "Well, if it's just mere jiggling about, I think it's alright."
<1042>
// \{Sunohara} "Hmmm, well, it works that way too."
<1043>
// \{\m{B}} "It will constantly attract the attention of the opposing team."
<1044>
// \{Sunohara} "Oh, that's true."
<1045>
// \{Sunohara} "As Misae-san's boobs jiggle about, we'd quickly shoot."
<1046>
// \{Sunohara} "Come to think of it, we could call it the 'Jiggly boobs' shooting method."
<1047>
// \{\m{B}} "I've been thinking of it for some time, you have the best tastes."
<1048>
// \{Sunohara} "Heh heh, thank you!"
<1049>
// \{Nagisa} "The two of you are spouting weird nonsense."
<1050>
// \{\m{B}} "In any case, let's do as discussed."
<1051>
// We headed for the back of the school, where the student dormitory is.
<1052>
// \{Nagisa} "This place, is it where you stay, Sunohara-san?... This is the first time I've seen the insides of it."
<1053>
// \{Nagisa} "Is it okay for a female like me to enter?"
<1054>
// \{\m{B}} "It's fine. But not so vice versa."
<1055>
// \{Nagisa} "Vice versa?"
<1056>
// \{\m{B}} "For a guy to sneak into the female dormitory."
<1057>
// \{Sunohara} "The guys from the rugby team always do that."
<1058>
// \{Sunohara} "Thus everyone occasionally gets totally chewed out, it's really troubling."
<1059>
// \{Sunohara} "Well then, Misae-san's room is this way."
<1060>
// Sunohara started to walk from where he stood.
<1061>
// \{Nagisa} "But if we were to get the dormitory manager, wouldn't she be rather busy?"
<1062>
// \{Sunohara} "The person's really hot-blooded. Even with a ton of work to do, she'll probably still agree to it."
<1063>
// \{Nagisa} "I see."
<1064>
// *Thud! Thud!*, we knocked on the door.
<1065>
// \{Voice} "Cooooming."
<1066>
// It was a voice from within. The door swung open immediately and there before us stood Misae-san.
<1067>
// \{Misae} "What's the matter?"
<1068>
// \{Misae} "Oh this is rare. You've brought along a girl."
<1069>
// She noticed Nagisa immediately.
<1070>
// \{Misae} "You really shouldn't be so ignorant to these two guys, it's dangerous."
<1071>
// \{Sunohara} "Don't tarnish our reputation!"
<1072>
// \{Sunohara} "We're not doing anything weird, right Nagisa-chan?"
<1073>
// \{Nagisa} "Y-yes. They've been really kind to me."
<1074>
// \{Misae} "Eh........."
<1075>
// \{Misae} "Could it be that... She's you're girlfriend?"
<1076>
// \{Sunohara} "Heh heh, does it seem that way?"
<1077>
// \{Misae} "Eh, are you for real!? Really!?"
<1078>
// \{Nagisa} "No..."
<1079>
// \{Misae} "Sunohara is able to get such a cute girlfriend!?"
<1080>
// \{Misae} "Uwaah, the world is about to end..."
<1081>
// \{Nagisa} "Erm..."
<1082>
// \{Nagisa} "I am \m{B}-kun's girlfriend!"
<1083>
// Nagisa loudly corrected the mistake as her face flushed red.
<1084>
// I should be the one feeling embarrassed...
<1085>
// \{Misae} "No, I meant... It only appeared that way.."
<1086>
// \{Misae} "Well, that's still a better choice than Sunohara..."
<1087>
// \{Sunohara} "Stop throwing harsh comments around!"
<1088>
// \{Misae} "If you ever get bullied, you could always come here to consult big sister."
<1089>
// \{Misae} "I can discuss anything with you."
<1090>
// \{Nagisa} "Thank you very much."
<1091>
// \{Nagisa} "But \m{B}-kun is very kind, so it's okay."
<1092>
// \{Misae} "........."
<1093>
// Her squinted, doubtful eyes locked on me.
<1094>
// \{\m{B}} "No, even if you were to be doubtful..."
<1095>
// \{Misae} "Well, it's okay..."
<1096>
// \{Misae} "Right, what's the problem? Are you here to show off your cute girlfriend?"
<1097>
// \{Sunohara} "Let's play basketball!"
<1098>
// \{Misae} "No. Bye." \r
<1099>
// \{Sunohara} "........."
<1100>
// \{\m{B}} "It seems that it'd have been better if you stayed mute."
<1101>
// \{Sunohara} "Even though I am the closest person to her!?"
<1102>
// *Gacha*.
<1103>
// \{Misae} "Don't say stuff that will cause misunderstandings."
<1104>
// \{Sunohara} "No I mean, we've been seeing each other around for quite some time."
<1105>
// \{Sunohara} "I wasn't referring to any sort of weird relationship."
<1106>
// \{Misae} "...Even if you are denying it, don't say such hair-raising stuff."
<1107>
// As the door once about to shut again, Sunohara waited for a second before calling out to her again.
<1108>
// \{Misae} "What. You still have anything business with me?"
<1109>
// \{Sunohara} "Let's play basketball!"
<1110>
// *Thud*.
<1111>
// \{\m{B}} "That's why I told you to shut up!"
<1112>
// \{Sunohara} "What's wrong, that would make me look as if I'm not the leader."
<1113>
// \{\m{B}} "No, you were never the leader."
<1114>
// \{Sunohara} "EH~~~!"
<1115>
// \{Sunohara} "I never knew that..."
<1116>
// Ignoring the disappointed Sunohara, I knocked once more.
<1117>
// \{\m{B}} "Misae--, I have something else to discuss."
<1118>
// .........
<1119>
// The door doesn't budge.
<1120>
// \{\m{B}} "It's all your fault..."
<1121>
// \{Sunohara} "Why is it my fault..."
<1122>
// \{\m{B}} "I guess there's no other way..."
<1123>
// \{\m{B}} "Nagisa you go talk to her."
<1124>
// \{Nagisa} "Huh?"
<1125>
// \{\m{B}} "If it's you who's asking, that person won't be able to reject."
<1126>
// \{Nagisa} "Are you sure...?"
<1127>
// \{\m{B}} "Well, just give it a shot."
<1128>
// \{Nagisa} "Alright."
<1129>
// Nagisa turned to face the door and knocked.
<1130>
// \{Nagisa} "Erm, Misae-san?"
<1131>
// She said the name with a tone of unfamiliarity.
<1132>
// \{Nagisa} "I would like to talk to you."
<1133>
// \{Misae} "What, what's up?"
<1134>
// The door opened immediately and a face popped out.
<1135>
// \{\m{B}} "See, I told you."
<1136>
// \{Sunohara} "Let's play basketball!"
<1137>
// *Wham!*\shake{4}
<1138>
// Sunohara was whacked off his feet while standing behind Nagisa.
<1139>
// \{Misae} "What's wrong, got bullied by \m{A}?"
<1140>
// \{Nagisa} "No, \m{B}-kun is kind, he won't bully me."
<1141>
// \{Misae} "Ah, I see..."
<1142>
// \{Nagisa} "Erm, I have something else to talk to you about..."
<1143>
// \{Misae} "Yes?"
<1144>
// \{Nagisa} "I was thinking if we could play basketball together..."
<1145>
// \{Misae} "Eh? Basketball? Me?"
<1146>
// That's exactly what Sunohara has been saying repeatedly since just now.
<1147>
// \{Nagisa} "Yes. We have a match up against the people from the basketball team."
<1148>
// \{Nagisa} "That would require 3 members, but we presently only have 2 members."
<1149>
// \{Nagisa} "That's why I was thinking if we could get Misae-san to join..."
<1150>
// \{Misae} "Basketball I see..."
<1151>
// \{Misae} "Well, not that I dislike it..."
<1152>
// \{Misae} "Who are the other members?"
<1153>
// \{Nagisa} "They are \m{B}-kun and Sunohara-san."
<1154>
// \{Misae} "In other words..."
<1155>
// \{Misae} "The opponents are all guys?"
<1156>
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, yes. That's right."
<1157>
// \{Misae} "So I'm the only female?"
<1158>
// \{Nagisa} "Yes... So I guess it's a no...?"
<1159>
// \{Misae} "To go as far as to take the place of a guy, it's not as if I've got really good reflexes."
<1160>
// \{Misae} "Wouldn't it be better to find someone else?"
<1161>
// \{\m{B}} "We don't have many friends..."
<1162>
// I follow up as much as I can follow.
<1163>
// \{Misae} "That's true... I haven't actually seen you guys mingle around with other guys before."
<1164>
// \{Nagisa} "Erm.. I beg of you."
<1165>
// Nagisa lowered down her head.
<1166>
// \{Misae} "Hold on, please lift up your head, by doing this you're making it hard for me to refuse."
<1167>
// \{\m{B}} "I beg of you Misae-san."
<1168>
// I begged her while I stepped on Sunohara to prevent him from getting up.
<1169>
// \{Misae} "But I'm not really that free of a person, right?"
<1170>
// \{\m{B}} "It won't take long. It'd only last around 20 minutes or so."
<1171>
// \{Misae} "Sigh..."
<1172>
// \{Misae} "Come on, lift up your head."
<1173>
// \{Nagisa} "Er, right..."
<1174>
// \{Nagisa} "So do you agree to joining our team..?"
<1175>
// \{Misae} "There's no other choice isn't it? It's impossible for me to reject..."
<1176>
// \{Nagisa} "Thank you very much!"
<1177>
// \{Misae} "Like I said, stop lowering your head."
<1178>
// \{Misae} "Sigh... What's wrong with me..."
<1179>
// *Thud! Thud!*, Sunohara knocked on Misae-san's room door.
<1180>
// \{Voice} "Coooming~"
<1181>
// It was a voice from within. The door swung open immediately and there before us stood Misae.
<1182>
// \{\m{B}} "Yo"
<1183>
// \{Misae} "What, it's just you guys?"
<1184>
// \{Misae} "Oh, you've brought along your cute girlfriend again."
<1185>
// \{Nagisa} "Good afternoon."
<1186>
// \{Misae} "Good afternoon."
<1187>
// \{Misae} "Yeah, what's the matter?"
<1188>
// Should I give it a pass?... Just what's wrong with me...
<1189>
// 'Sorry for bothering!', I exited to the corridor after leaving that statement.
<1190>
// \{Sunohara} "But, well, we've decided on a member already, that makes me feel relieved."
<1191>
// \{Sunohara} "But, well, we've already roughly decided on the member, that makes me feel relieved."
<1192>
// \{Nagisa} "That's really great."
<1193>
// \{Sunohara} "This allows us to devote ourselves to practising without any reservations for tomorrow."
<1194>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<1195>
// \{Sunohara} "What's wrong? Your face seems stoned."
<1196>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<1197>
// \{Nagisa} "Erm... There is practice tomorrow?"
<1198>
// \{Sunohara} "Of course. It's one day before the match right? How can we possibly play through it?"
<1199>
// \{Sunohara} "Nagisa-chan, don't you think so too?"
<1200>
// \{Nagisa} "Y-yes..."
<1201>
// Nagisa looked at me with an apologetic face.
<1202>
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<1203>
// Practice.
<1204>
// Plan countermeasure.
<1205>
// \{\m{B}} "Right, I get it..."
<1206>
// \{\m{B}} "I just have to practise right?"
<1207>
// There's already no choice but to be serious.
<1208>
// \{Sunohara} "Oh, put more fighting spirit into it okay?"
<1209>
// \{Sunohara} "Okay, from morning to night, let's give it our best!"
<1210>
// \{\m{B}} "You got what you wished for."
<1211>
// \{Sunohara} "What? Was that you crying about something?"
<1212>
// \{\m{B}} "Those are tears of joy."
<1213>
// \{Sunohara} "I see, I see."
<1214>
// \{\m{B}} "Ok I get it..."
<1215>
// \{\m{B}} "Let's do it!"
<1216>
// There's only one way to reply in such a situation.
<1217>
// As for the plan to escape from practice, I'll work on it tomorrow.
<1218>
// \{Sunohara} "Oh, put more fighting spirit into it okay?"
<1219>
// \{Sunohara} "We've come this far working as a team. Wow, sport is really something great!"
<1220>
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun..."
<1221>
// \{Nagisa} "There is practice tomorrow?"
<1222>

<1227>
// Practice.
<1228>
// Plan countermeasure.
<1229>
// \{\m{B}} "Okay I get it..."
<1230>
// \{\m{B}} "I just have do practise right?"
<1231>
