After the ball game, Hanamichi and his team were heading to the waiting area, catching their breath.
Although they had won the game, Hanamichi’s overly eccentric play had already become the talk of the class, with students passing by giggling and looking at him.
“Oh well～, I’m a star after all, aren’t I?”
Hanamichi puffed out his chest somewhat proudly.
“I don’t think you’re a star, you’re just a show-off.”
Wakita quickly corrected him.
“Well, in a way, it’s just like Hanamichi, isn’t it?”
Fujii nodded his head with a wry smile, and Yasui agreed with a look of dismay on his face.
After exchanging such an amusing conversation, they returned to the waiting area, where Tsumugi was waiting for them.
“Everyone, good work ! !”
With a big smile on her face, Tsumugi welcomed them with open arms.
“Yoo-hoo, the game was great ! I was laughing so hard I couldn’t even cheer !”
Hanamichi’s group, looking a little embarrassed by the atmosphere as if they were being greeted by an idol, walked up to Tsumugi.
“No, no, it’s not like you’re cheering for us, you were just laughing the whole time.”
“Yeah ! It was great ! !”
“You don’t deny it, do you…..?”
Hanamichi shrugs in shock, but looking at Tsumugi’s smile, he doesn’t feel bad.
“Hey, hey, since we’re here, let’s take a picture !”
Tumugi suggested as she took out her phone.
“Oh, that’s a good idea !”
“It’ll be a souvenir !”
Fujii and Yasui agreed, and Wakita nodded in agreement.
“Then, let’s take a picture in the middle of the ground !”
At Tsumugi’s suggestion, Hanamichi and the others looked at each other and said.
“It’s a ball game, so it would be nice to take a picture with the school building in the background !”
Tsumugi takes her phone, sets it to the internal camera, and looks around, thinking about the position of the camera, she looks around her surroundings.
Now, the screen of Tsumugi’s smartphone shows the faces of Hanamichi and the others, including her own.
“Okay, I’m in the middle !”
Hanamichi steps forward with dignity.
“Why are you in the center?”
“Because I’m the main character !”
[ [ [ [Suits yourself !] ] ]
Wakita, Fujii, and Yasui immediately retorted.
“Hahaha ! Well then, everyone line up, say cheese !”
Tsumugi sets the self-timer with his phone inside and waits for the sound of the shutter while she is in the circle.
Shutter—
Under the blue sky, the faces of the five in their uniforms were captured in the photo. Naturally, Hanamichi was making a funny face with deformed eyes and mouth.
“Yup ! Looking good ! Ahaha ! Morita kun’s face is too funny ! ! ”
After checking the image taken by Tsumugi, she was struck by laughter.
“You’re spot on !”
Wakita reflexively slaps Hanamichi on the head.
“Oh, ouch !”
Hanamichi lets out a deliberately dumb voice.
“Hahaha !? Yeah. Fufu. …Okay, I’ll send it to the ‘Comedy 5’ group later as a reminder of today !”
Tsumugi’s laughter begins to subside, and she resumes operating her smartphone.
“Nice !”
“As expected of Mikami, you’re so thorough.”
In the midst of such a friendly atmosphere, Hanamichi suddenly noticed Tsumugi’s figure.
“Hm? Well, Tsumugi, when is your game?”
“Eh? Yeah, I have a match in about.”
Tsumugi stares at Hanamichi’s face.
“Ah !?”
Tsumugi made a face.
“You’ve been cheering all the time, are you ready for your own match?”
“O-oh yeah ! I forgot ! !”
Tsumugi hurriedly put her phone away in her pocket and checked her watch.
“I have a match in about fifteen minutes !”
“Hey, hey, hey, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine ! We still have time!!”
Tumugi is in a hurry, but smiles with a relaxed look on her face.
“Then, let’s go cheer for her too !”
When Hanamichi said this, Tsumugi suddenly stopped moving.
“…..Eh?”
“I said I’m gonna go cheer for you at your game.”
Tsumugi looked surprised at those words for a moment, but then quickly shook her head.
“Y-you can’t ! ! Don’t come to cheer me on ! !”
“Huh? Why not?”
“Because I definitely can’t concentrate on the game ! !”
Tsumugi is in a resolute refusal posture.
“What do you mean?”
“Because, Morita kun, if you come to cheer me on, you’ll definitely come to make me laugh during the game !”
“……”
“Look, just like now ! !”
Tsumugi pointed a finger at Hanamichi as if convinced by his expression.
“No, no, I won’t interfere during the match !”
“I don’t trust you !”
Tsumugi resolutely refused to accept the support.
“Eeh……”
“I wanna be serious during the match ! So, Morita kun, you can’t come to cheer me on ! !”
At Tsumugi’s desperate insistence, Hanamichi chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.
“Then tell me the result when the match is over.”
“Yeah, got it !”
Tsumugi nodded in satisfaction.
“Good luck in the match !”
When Fujii called out to Tsumugi, Tsumugi replied [Thanks !] with a smile.
I’m off then!
Tsumugi waved her hand lightly and headed for the venue.
Hanamichi and the others looked at each other as they watched her back.
“Well, if Mikami is going to say that much, I guess I’ll just keep quiet during the match.”
“I guess so.”
“Well, as expected, we can’t interfere.”
The four of them shook their heads in agreement several times.
Thus, Hanamichi and the others, considering Tsumugi’s request, decided to take a rest at the waiting area, looking forward to the outcome of the match.
