It was a typical day at Seigaku: school was over and the students were either rushing to their club meetings or to team practices. All was calm and quiet until the usual atmosphere was broken up by an extremely loud, familiar voice.
?What do you mean we don?t have practice today, Oishi-senpai?? Momoshiro inquired loudly, causing everyone who was still in the halls to stare, ?Tezuka-buchou never lets us have a day off, never, ever, ever!?
?Actually?? Oishi started to explain, but Momoshiro was already rejoicing for the lack of practice.
Oishi watched hopelessly as Momoshiro wouldn?t stand still long enough for his senpai to explain the situation to the dancing sophomore. At that moment, Kaidou stepped forward and tripped Momoshiro as he skipped pass him.
?Idiot, if you were listening, senpai said we have a meeting for the regulars instead of practice.? Kaidou hissed as Momoshiro tried to regain his balance, ?Then again, you never listen anyways, idiot!?
?What did you say, Viper?? Momoshiro was flamed by Kaidou?s comment, ?And how dare you trip me!?
?Fshuuuu?? Instead of answering, Kaidou choose to ignore Momoshiro and continued to walk behind Oishi toward their common destination.
?I asked you a question!? Momoshiro pushed Kaidou into a nearby wall, and when Kaidou was stable on his feet again, it seemed that the two second-years were going to start another fight, again. But luckily, at that time, they had arrived at the meeting room. Oishi slid open the doors, and one glance from Tezuka alone was enough to silence both second-years in the middle of their shouting contest.
?You?re late.? Tezuka?s greeting was, as always, simple and straight to the point.
?Sorry, Tezuka, so is everyone else here already?? Oishi asked, hoping to give the two second-years time to break up and avoid earning extra laps later.
?Yes, and now we can finally begin.? Tezuka threw one last glare at Momoshiro and walked to the seat between the podium and the window. All other members of the tennis team who were scattered gathered in the middle of the room. Tezuka cleared his throat and began his announcement, ?As you probably already know, the annual competition for club funding is going to be two weeks from now. So it is time that we come up with a plan and start to work on our booth.?
?Annual competition?? Echizen asked, as everyone else was nodding in agreement with their captain, ?For what??
?Oh, that?s right, you weren?t here last year Echizen, but every year, each and every one of the clubs and teams at the Seigaku prepares a booth for the annual festival and the one that generates most revenue and popularity wins.? Oishi explained, ?And the winning club or team would get the largest percent of funding from the school board.?
?I see?? Echizen answered as his interest in the subject was already waning, ?Mada mada dane?? ?We came in second last year, so we?re even more determined to win this year.? Kikumaru jumped around excitedly and looked at the club?s data man, ?So who is our biggest competition this year, Inui??
Inui quickly flipped through his notebook and said, ?According to my data, the only team worthy of our concern would be girl?s baseball team.?
?Girl?s baseball? We have a girl?s baseball team at Seigaku?? Momoshiro was obvious deprived of this little piece of information.
?Fshuuu?you would know if you paid any attention to anyone or anything but yourself!? Kaidou hissed, ?Stupid??
?Why you?? Momoshiro started to get up, but another look from Tezuka seated him again, ?Well, they are probably no competition anyways, we?re the best!?
?Don?t be so sure.? Warned Tezuka, who was somewhat aloof from the conversation from the beginning, ?Always be on guard.?
?Huh?? Momoshiro looked confused, ?Buchou, you?re always so serious?you should seriously loosen up a bit.?
?Tezuka is right, although it may be true that the girl?s baseball team wasn?t the best in the past, but ever since they got their new captain, everything has changed.? Inui was flipping through his data book, again.
?New captain?? Kikumaru asked, ?I didn?t know the girls got a new captain??
?By the name of ,? Fuji answered for Inui, ?You have probably seen her around, she has the most amazing silver hair and bright green eyes.?
?Oh, her?? Kikumaru said as the other members were still trying to figure out who was, ?She doesn?t look so bad, I doubt she could do much to change the baseball team.?
?Don?t be so sure, she?s a tough one, it?s only been weeks since her transfer and she?s already whipping those girls on the baseball team into shape.? Oishi warned, ?I saw her bat once and it took the freshman girls an hour to find the baseball after practice.?
?I guess she?s strong then?? Since only the third-years were allowed in the senior hallways, the two second-years and the freshman were cultivating horrifying images of this new captain of the girl?s baseball team, ?But it takes more than just muscles, so we can still win??
?Well, since the funding is partially decided by the image of the team, as long as our booth looks good and we have record to support our reputation, what could possibly go wrong?? Kawamura asked as Fuji handed him a racquet, ?BURNING~ NO GIRL IS GOING TO BEAT ME! C?MON, I CAN HANDLE ANYTHING!?
Oishi grabbed the racquet away from Kawamura, ?Taka-san, calm down!?
?Huh?? The boy who was running around as if he was on fire returned to his normal, quiet self, ?What happened??
?Anyways, take a moment to think about ideas for the festival.? Tezuka said as he looked out the window to the baseball diamond with one name in his mind, ? huh??
?Hai Buchou!?
Meanwhile, the girl?s baseball team in question was also discussing the upcoming festival during their practice break.
?, have you decided what we?re going to do for the school festival yet?? asked as she stretched out, ?You know that the best display booth would receive the most funding from the school right??
?Of course I do? The girl named answered, ?I am captain after all.?
?So, any ideas yet? The festival is in less than two week!? asked as she gulped down the remainder of her water bottle, ?Anyone??
?Well, I was thinking?maybe a cosplay caf??? suggested quickly, ?I have been taking sewing lessons and I would be more than happy to design and make the costumes.?
?Cosplay caf?? That sounds awesome!? said excitedly, ?We would all dress up and serve tea and desserts to customers and raise money right??
?What do you think ?? asked cautiously, noting the dark look in their captain?s eyes.
?NO WAY!? answered, ?And this decision is nonnegotiable!?
?Awww?why not?? prompted, ?It?s a fantastic idea!?
?Because every member has to be involved and I am NOT wearing a dress!? clarified, ?Not now, not ever!?
?, you?re such a tomboy.? teased, ?You may be good on the baseball field, but you fail your duty as a teenager girl!?
?Huh?? was slightly taken back, ?Fail??
?For a girl whose grades and achievements are most important, you are failing your greatest commitment: being a girl.? was enjoying teasing , ?You still have loads to learn sister.?
?Totally, I mean, it wouldn?t hurt to dress up once in a while.? continued, ?C?mon, how fun would it be to ditch the sweat suit for a nice dress??
?Besides, the caf? is guaranteed to be a success and that means funding for the baseball team and?? trailed off, knowing would do anything for the team.
?Alright I guess?? finally succumbed to her team?s persuasion, ?But NOTHING fluffy or lacey okay??
?HAI!!!? Everyone echo the response as , , and exchanged knowing looks and a common thought, ?This is going to be fun!?
?Now, get back to practice!? commanded as she pondered over the idea of a cosplay caf?. ?A dress? Are they serious? What have I gotten myself into??
Back to the classroom:
?You know Tezuka, I have an idea for the festival booth,? Inui had an evil look in his eyes, ?But I?m not sure if you?re going to go for it.?
?What is it?? Kikumaru asked eagerly, and received a glare from Tezuka in return.
?According to my data, if we run a host club style caf?, we have 99.4% chance of winning the funds,? Inui said simply, ?After all, Seigaku does have a 54% female population.?
?Host club?? Fuji said, ?That?s quite an unexpected idea?but I?m sure you have data to back up this idea??
?Hai? Inui continued to flip through his notebook, ?According to my research, Fuji and Tezuka are really popular among the girls for being all-rounders, Kikumaru is popular for his perkiness, Oishi for his kindness, Kawamura for his randomness, Momoshiro for his energy, Kaidou for his silent nature, and even Echizen have his own little fan club!?
?What about you Inui-senpai?? Echizen asked, slightly annoyed at the mention of his own supposedly fan club, ?What do girls like about you??
?Ah hum?data says that there is a 99.8% chance that girls thinks I?m slightly creepy.? Inui cleared his throat and seemed to be really focused on some mark in his notebook, avoiding looks and stares from all members on the team.
?I could just imagine why?? Momoshiro said rather loudly, ?If I was a girl, I would be so creeped out if all my data is recorded on some notebook by some guy lurking in under the bushes. No privacy at all! Bad luck, Inui-senpai!?
Inui turned red as all the other members laughed at the expense of this poor boy. Laughter ensued until they noticed that Tezuka had a rather odd expression on his face.
?What?s wrong Tezuka?? Fuji asked for the team, being the only one brave enough to ask without the fear of being given extra laps.
?I?what is a host club caf??? Tezuka questioned, with a hint of embarrassment at his own lack of knowledge.
?You don?t know what a host club caf? is?? Kikumaru was amazed, ?You never read manga??
?Eiji!? Oishi stopped Kikumaru from saying that would get everyone in trouble and took the liberty of answering their captain?s question, ?Tezuka, a host club caf? is a place where guys serve female customers. Usually guys would dress up in a theme or just formal wear and girls pay for the company of an individual or a group.?
?Dress up?? Tezuka?s expression wasn?t looking too good.
?Usually, just suit and tie, unless Inui?s data has something more extravagant prepared for us?? Fuji said while the corners of his lips were curling into a smile, ?Oh, this is going to be fun?
?No, suit and tie would be fine.? Inui asserted, ?It is best if it?s black over white dress shirt and not the odd assortment of colors we had when we went on that cruise sometime ago.?
?Oh, that brings back memories? The cruise, the gambling, and other not so happy memories.1
?Okay, so what do you have planned for the theme? We do have to decorate the classroom right?? Momoshiro changed the subject, not wanting to dwell on the memory of narrowing escaping death.
?How about ?Moonlight Fantasy??? Echizen suggested, ?We could hang dark drapery around the room and get some of those star lights, that way, it adds to the authentically of the situation.?
?Oh, that sounds fun!? Kikumaru was already jumping around, again, ?Atmosphere is everything!?
?Alright, let?s go for it, Inui, Kikumaru, Tezuka, and Kawamura, we will go shopping for supplies. Kaidou and Momoshiro, go and get the other members to paint the classroom, I think it?s room 186?? Oishi started to scribble a checklist onto his clipboard.
?Oishi, if I remember correctly, only the regulars are allowed to participate in the festival challenge, right?? Kawamura asked quietly.
?Oh, that?s right, never mind that, Echizen, you will help Kaidou and Momoshiro with the painting,? Oishi correctly his mistake and resumed his planning, ?Everyone else, we?re leaving to go shopping for supplies.?
?Let?s go.? One simple command from Tezuka started the wheels of fortune on her course.
On the other hand, the girls were already dragging boxes of supplies as they made their way down various hallways, looking for the room they were assigned to for the festival.
?, which room are we in again?? asked, rather exhausted from hauling the boxes of supplies around the school.
?It?s room 188, I think it?s right down the hall?? replied, poking her head through each classroom to look for the room number.
?Oh, I found it!? exclaimed excitedly ahead of them, ?It?s the one right next to the stairs!?
The rest of the girls followed the sound of ?s voice and easily found room 188. There was a unanimous sigh of relief when the entire team dropped whatever they were carrying and nursed their aching arms.
?, next time, find the room before we start moving in the supplies!? complained, ?This is a harder workout than our regular practice!?
?Why did you think I wanted you to carry the stuff around in the first place?? grinned, ?Anyways, let?s get started! The paint team, start with taping the edges, everyone else, move the desks out and unload the supplies!?
?Hai?
All the girls got to work, and ever so often bumping into one another due to the limited view from carrying large objects. Seeing was on the other side of the room, , , and moved to an isolated corner and started to discuss the costume designs.
?So , have you come up with the costume designs yet?? asked as she tried to appear busy by inspecting each object that was pulling out of the box.
?Well, I got a few, but I thought it would be the easiest if we went with the classical French maid style?? Said as she took out a few drawings and handed them to .
?Oh, these look good, since the festival is in two weeks, I think you should just start making the costumes now.? Said as she bent over to see the sketches that was holding, ?After all, you do have quite a few sets to make.?
?Shouldn?t I show these sketches first and get them approved?? asked, ?I don?t know if??
?NO!!!? and both shouted at the same time, attracting attention from everyone else in the room. Seeing was looking in their direction with a rather questioned look, the three girls quickly waved and pretended to be busy with the supplies.
?The things is, , would definitely hate them, she hates anything that she cannot wear to play in a game.? quickly explained, ?That?s why, we must not show her the sketches.?
?But we love it and can?t do anything about it if she finds out on the day of the festival.? concluded, ?So, just do what you do best and work on those outfits!?
Before had a chance to answer, they noticed that was calling for a group meeting. The three girls looked at each other and nodded, understanding that the sketches for the outfits would not be revealed to anyone else until the day of the festival.
On the boy?s side, Echizen was standing high on a ladder and busy with painting the top of the door rim. Knowing his stubbornness, he was not willing to complain to anyone that the task was almost impossible for him.
?This is so boring? Echizen thought, ?I could be playing tennis and beating the old man?this is such a waste of time??
Echizen dipped his brush back into the paint and when he reached up to finish covering the surface of the rim, he lost his footing and tumbled down the ladder.
?Watch out!!?
A few seconds later, Echizen found himself on the ground without even the slightest of an injury, ?Huh? I don?t even have a scratch on me??
?Owwww?? Echizen heard a moan from below and realized that he sitting on a girl. He scrambled to his feet and realized that she was the one who broke his fall.
?What happened?? The entire tennis team and the baseball team were outside in the hallway after they heard the crash of the ladder.
?! Are you okay?? The girls rushed to their captain?s side, ?You?re not hurt are you??
?I?m fine, it?s nothing?? struggled to get back to her feet, and turned to Echizen, ?Are you okay??
?Mada mada da?.? Echizen did not finish his usual apathetic response as Momoshiro hit him over the head with a paintbrush.
?Show some respect to your senpai!? And the freshman and the sophomore were off again on one of their staring contests.
Tezuka sighed and broke away from the rest of the tennis team, ?I?m the captain of the boy?s tennis team, Tezuka Kunimitsu and I apologize on behalf of tennis team.?
?It?s okay, there?s no need, we girls are not that delicate.? said , ?I?m , captain of the girl?s baseball team.?
?What are you talking about? That guy landed on top of you!? hissed from behind , ?And since you?re so strict with that sport diet of yours, he probably landed on your bones!?
?You?re going to get us all in trouble!? whispered as the rest of the rest of the baseball team nodded, ? have this heroine complex remember? Just let her save the day wouldn?t you? Or she will give all of us extra laps until the end of the year!?
shot both and a death glare as she brushed off the dust on her clothes. Suddenly, seemed to have realized something as she looked at Tezuka straight in the eye, ?Wait?tennis team, I heard there is prodigy freshman on the team? Echizen something??
?Echizen Ryoma? Tezuka answered as he glanced toward Echizen, who was still in the staring contest with Momoshiro, ?That?s him right there.?
Tezuka waited and noticed that wasn?t responding, he looked back and noticed that her eyes were fixed on him instead. Tezuka stared back and was mesmerized by the color of ?s eyes, ?Such unusual eyes, the color of emerald?
It seemed another staring contests had began and the hallway suddenly became really quiet and everyone was fixed on the staring captains. Finally Fuji said something to break off the awkward moment, ?We should get back to working on our booth, Tezuka.?
Tezuka broke off his gaze and coughed, ?That?s right, we should get back to work.?
seemed to have returned to reality too. As she glanced at her watch, she gasped at the time, ?Oh dear, we?re so behind schedule, let?s go girls!?
The two teams parted and entered their own respective rooms, right next to each other. With the captains entering the rooms last and after another long gaze, both and Tezuka entered their rooms and closed the door.
?Wait, baseball team? Girl?s baseball team? Inui, was she the new captain you were talking about?? Momoshiro suddenly realized after the whole team was in the classroom again.
Inui nodded ?Yes, her silver hair is unmistakable and she said her name was . Plus Tezuka??
Inui purposely left the last sentence unfinished and everyone was staring at Tezuka.
?So Tezuka, what?s between you and?? Before Kikumaru had a chance to finish, he was silenced by a major glare from Tezuka.
?Momoshiro, Inui, Kikumaru, 50 extra laps later.?
?But I didn?t do anything!? Kikumaru complained, ?You didn?t even know what I was going to ask!?
?100 laps.?
?But??
?150 laps.?
Kikumaru was about to speak again, Momoshiro gave him a shove and stopped him from adding any more laps to the already 150.
?This is getting interesting.? Fuji laughed, noting the change in Tezuka?s usual cold complex. ?And it?s getting fun.?
Back in the girl?s room:
?, you?re walking kind of funny.? said as she watched limping slightly across the room.
?It?s nothing.? said simply, ?Don?t worry about it.?
?Something is wrong, let me see your ankle,? walked over and moved ?s ankle slightly as the girl let out a gasp of pain.
?Oh, this looks bad, , you twisted your ankle?? analyzed the red and purple spots on ?s ankle, ?, bring over the first aid kit!?
?No?I?it?s?? tried to get up, but failed miserably.
?When did this happen?? asked, ?We didn?t have practice today.?
?It must have happened when you broke that boy?s fall right?? stated, ?, you must do something about that hero complex of yours.?
?It doesn?t matter, it will heal in a few days. Now where?s the table we wanted to move to the center?? tried to get up again, but was pushed back to the seat.
?No, , you will rest and do no more work? said bossily, ?Here?s the first aide kit, you should tape that ankle.?
?But?there?s still work to be done??
?No buts??
?But I?m captain?? was starting to whine and attempted to use her captain authority but unfortunately, there was a major team mutiny.
?We overrule!? The team said unanimously, ?You, Rest, Now!?
?Okay?? was slightly intimidated by her teammates and decided to back down and supervise the situation, ?Just let me know what I can do okay??
So the rest of the afternoon passed by and only watched as the Cosplay Caf? was coming to life.
?Ouch, this really hurts,? winced as she made her way to the train station, ?Now I wish I haven?t told the girls that I could go home on my own.?
?-san, Are you okay??
turned around and recognized a tall boy with glasses, ?You?re the captain Tezuka of the tennis team??
?That?s right, we met after that accident.? Tezuka noticed the girl was slightly off balance and was leaning against a pillar to support her weight, ?Is there something wrong with your ankle??
?No, it?s nothing, just?? couldn?t stand anymore and she fell to the floor ?Owwww??
?Your ankle must sprained. Let me help you.? Tezuka offered a hand, ?Here??
?No, it?s okay, I can walk?? tried to stand up again, but unfortunately, she failed miserably, again.
?No you can?t, here?? Tezuka offered his hand again and after a moment of hesitation, took it.
?Just put your weight on my arm, that way, you wouldn?t strain that ankle of yours any more.?
?Thank you.? whispered.
The two made their way through the metro station, got on the train and after a few minutes of walking, they arrived at ?s home.
?Thank you Tezuka-san for walking me home.? bowed in thanks, ?It was truly kind of you.?
?-san, you saved Echizen, it?s the least I could do.? Tezuka seemed much more keen to talk than his usual brief nature.
??? A voice came from inside the house, ?Is that you??
?I got to go, I will see you around okay?? turned and made her way slowly toward the entrance. She paused at the door and stared at Tezuka for a few good seconds before saying, ?Good luck with the tennis team.?
The construction of the festival booths continued:
?Tezuka, what?s wrong with your arm? It?s all red.? Oishi asked, concerned, ?You didn?t try using the zero-drop shot did you??
?It?s nothing.?
?No, there?s definitely a new bruise, you know the doctor told you to not put any weight on it!? Oishi was persistent, ?Now, let?s put some bandage around it less you have to undergo another major recovery.?
?Is it because you let that girl lean on you, Tezuka?? Fuji asked quietly from the other side of the room, ?She?s light, but still a tremendous burden on your arm, right??
?What? A girl?? Momoshiro exclaimed, ?As in a person of the opposite gender??
?You idiot, a girl?s a girl, what?s so confusing about that?? Kaidou hissed, ?Stupid!?
?So what happened?? Kikumaru asked, ?A girl??
?The captain of the baseball team, , she injured herself yesterday saving Echizen and Tezuka walked her home.? Inui announced as he flipped through his notebook, ?It was a heartfelt goodbye, so romantic and??
?Inui?? Tezuka said in a rather threatening tone.
?No way, Tezuka-buchou had never shown affection toward anyone? Momoshiro said, ?Everyone knows that, you should see how he treats his fan girls?so cold, it?s like ice.?
?Mind your own business you idiot!? Kaidou hissed.
?This one must be special right, Tezuka?? Fuji hinted and all he got was more silence as everyone was staring at their buchou, until the tension was interrupted by a scream.
?NOOOOO!!!!!?
?What was that?? Kawamura asked, ?Sounds like somebody is hurt!?
?It?s coming from room 188!? Said Kikumaru, ?I have both great hearing and great eyesight!?
?Room 188? Isn?t that the girl?s baseball team?s room?? Oishi asked, ?Let?s go check it out!?
The boys opened the door to the room and were amazed. There was a girl wearing a black dress with a white and pink apron that has a huge bow on the back that was surrounded by the other girls. There seemed to be no sign of an intruder or violence.
?Um?we heard a scream and we came to see if something was wrong.? Oishi asked awkwardly, ?Is everything alright??
?Oh, that was just .? giggled as she pointed to the girl in the dress, ?She?s not used to wearing dresses, heels, or anything feminine.?
?That?s your captain?? Kikumaru asked, slightly amazed, ?The one who is rumored to only wear baggy sweat suits??
The question in his voice was unmistakable for the only clothes anyone had ever seen wear were her team jacket and her school uniform.
?That?s not possible! According to my data, there is 0% chance would ever wear a dress, excluding her school uniform?her wardrobe consists of 4 sets of the school uniform for winter and summer, her team jacket, jersey, and?? Inui was flipping furiously through his notebook as everyone else looked amazed and slightly scared.
?Um?Inui, I think you should put that notebook of yours away? Kawamura said, ?You?re scaring the girls.?
?So what really happened?? Fuji asked, ?That scream sounded rather horrifying.?
?Well, long story short, it?s like this?? started dramatically:
*flashback*
?! Stop escaping! Come over here and try on the outfits made for us!? forcefully grabbed by the arm and dragged her over to a nearby chair, ?Sit!?
?Nooo!!! I don?t want to, it?s so frilly and pink!? tried to escape, but unfortunately for her, all the other members cornered her, ?I am not wearing that!?
?, we could do this the easy way, or the hard way.? said, with rather a mischievous look in her eyes, ?You choose.?
?How about NO WAY!!!? said, ?No way, no way, no way!?
The girls sighed and nodded to each other. Two girls grabbed ?s arm and held her in place. and forcefully zipped into the maid outfit as screamed louder than she ever had.
*end of flashback*
?I see?you guys don?t exactly treat your captain with too much respect.? Fuji commented, ?Imagine if we did that to our captain.?
The members of the tennis club shuddered at the thought and the consequences of them running infinite laps.
?No, no, as long as it?s on the baseball field, we will do whatever buchou tells us to do,? explained, ?but in other fields, such as being a girl, we are much better experts than her.?
?No way! Your captain is great at being a girl, like when she was leaning on Tezuka-buchou the other day and now his arm is all stiff?? Kikumaru volunteered, and as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he had made a giant mistake.
The room went silent as started to blush furiously while avoiding the curious looks her team members were sending her.
?Kikumaru, 500 laps later.? Tezuka spoke up ,?Sorry about the intrusion, we will be getting back to our festival project now.?
Tezuka waved his fellow team members to the door and the team members filed out one by one until the only ones left were Tezuka and Fuji.
?Just one thing, -san, judging from the decoration and the outfit you?re wearing, is there a chance that the baseball team?s festival theme is cosplay caf??? Fuji asked as he was exiting.
?Um, yes, it is.? finally got over her embarrassment and spoke up, ?Why do you ask??
?Well, may the best caf? win,? Said Fuji as he slid the door close, without giving any addition explanation.
?Best caf?? Huh?? thought suddenly collected, ?Wait!?
ran out and stopped in front of the tennis team, ?What do you mean by may the best caf? win? Does that mean you guys are doing a caf? theme too??
?You do catch on fast don?t you -san?? Fuji said, ?Why don?t we let Tezuka explain it to you??
Fuji and rest of the team disappeared into their room and left Tezuka alone with . They may not be able to see anything, but all the members had their ears pressed against the door in hopes of witnessing this unusual moment.
?-san??
?Tezuka-san??
Both captains spoke at the same time, paused and Tezuka continued.
?You do know that the boy?s tennis team and the girl?s baseball team are the top two competitors for the sport funds right??
?Yes, but??
?But??
?I don?t want to compete against you?but still, I have responsibility to my team, so, may the best win?? offered her hand, ?An winner takes all.?
?May the best win.? Tezuka accepted the hand just as ?s ankle gave away again, but luckily, he caught her just in time.
?-san, are you okay??
?I?m fine?? looked into Tezuka?s eyes, ?And please, call me .?
???
took in the moment and she closed her eyes, ?Maybe being a girl isn?t so bad.?
?Maybe not.?
?Tezuka-san??
?Kunimitsu, call me Kunimitsu.?
?Kunimitsu? How about we go somewhere after the festival?? suggested as her voice got softer and softer, ?A show of good sportsmanship??
?I would like that.? Tezuka answered while helping to get back to her feet again, ?Can you stand??
?Yes.? shifted her weight, ?Kunimitsu??
?Huh??
?Please tell you teammates to get away from the door.? said once she reached her full height, ?, , , and you guys too, can?t we have a little privacy??
Both doors slid open and took the honor of answering, ?No, when you?re our captain, your business is the team?s business.?
? and Tezuka, relationship, I need data! Any chance I can follow you guys on your date and record data?? Inui asked as he started scribbling in his notebook again. Nobody answered, Inui looked up and noticed that the hallway was empty and it turned out that everyone else was in the tennis team?s room checking out the decorations. ?Oh well, I hope those two stubborn people find happiness together,? Inui said, ?I wonder how this is going to affect Tezuka?s tennis?data?data?data?
