level 9
正文:A hit withunbelievable power brushed against Housen-kun’s racket.
His ragewas being transformed and brought into the game itself, my ideal form ofsportsmanship.
Thescattering sweat sparkled like gemstones.
“HELL YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!”
SeeingSudou yelling from his very core, I couldn’t help but frolicking in thisvictory.
“We didit! We did it!”
Housen-kun,who we had been playing with, looked frustrated and smashed his racket to theground.
“We wonOnodera! All thanks to you!”
Sudou rantowards me, and I raised my hand for a high-five but was met with air instead.
I wasembraced with both of his hands around me in a hug.
“W-w-wha,,wha-wha!?”
Ahappiness followed by a surge of panic.
But I wasthe only one flustered as Sudou just looked all happy and excited.
He wasstarting to squeeze harder, so I tried to pull out.
“Wai-,ouch, it hurts Sudou-kun!”
He finallynoticed my distress and now he was the only flustered.
“M-mybad!”
We weretrailing due to my injury, but turned that into victory, never giving up untilthe very end.
Ourbeliefs and tenacity beat Housen-kun’s by a mile.
“Congratulations!You won all your events, Sudou-kun.”
“Yeah,thanks a lot Onodera. If not for you, we’d have lost this match for sure.”
“That’snot true. I was probably a hindrance…”
“Couldhave been a fluke, but when you got hurt and I just snapped, I thought we’dlose this. But you were the one to call me back.”
His eyeslooking straight at me felt like they were sucking my in.
“I see, thenwe… are a pretty good combo, right?”
“Ofcourse! Easy to work with and rely on. Yeah, you are the best Onodera. Ah,maybe Suzune was watching me from somewhere too?”
His eyesthat I felt I could watch for eternity withdrew from me and scanned the area aroundthe gymnasium.
“Suzune…right?”
Imuttered. He reacted like a dog at that name and suddenly looked questionablyat me.
“Eh?Where? Where is she!?”
“Ah, ehwell, sorry, looks like it was another person.”
“Shit. Isee, maybe she’s on the field then…”
I hatelosing and that lit the fighting spirit within me ablaze.
Yes, Ihave to admit it.
I’m,interested in Sudou-kun.
I cancatch up and show some results, no matter how far ahead he is.
That’s thesportsmanship that I believe in.
“Let’s eaton our way next time after clubs, okay?”
“Eh? Ah,sure I guess. More importantly, help me look for Suzune. Where are you,Suzune.”
“Hahaha,absolutely not.”
