Chapter 44

44

When the bus arrived at the destination, Hasumi and I went to the gate.

At the gate was the prince who had arrived a little earlier; when he saw us, he waved his hand and smiled.

My face cramped a smile and I nodded, while Hasumi had no reaction.

Well that's understandable.

The area surrounding the prince was overflowing with girls.

"Tojo-samaa, come on let's go around togethe~er."

"Come with us to visit around~."

"Sorry. I’ve already plans to go with others."

"Eeh~!"

I don't want to approach…...the more I go near, the more the atmosphere is difficult.

If I were to draw near now and let people know that we'd go around together, I'd be glared at terribly.

The prince's fans were scary.

Without thinking, I hid behind Hasumi's back.

"......the heck are you doing."

"I'm too scared of Tojo-sama's fans……"

"Aah…...I understand your feelings."

It seemed like Hasumi sympathized with me, as he didn't say any more, even when I hid behind him.

The prince somehow soothed his fans and came toward us.

Hiii~! The fans are glaring at mee!!

"Are. Kaguragi-san, why are you hiding in such a place?"

".......it's nothing."

(Editor: Cause your very presence disgusts me. Stand over there please, where you can’t bother me; no, actually, just jump off a cliff so I don’t even have to breathe the same air that once existed in your general vicinity)

Take a guess please.

Your fans are being scary. Don't talk to me or they will hate me!

As I was being frightened by the prince's fans, Miku-sama trotted over.

When Miku came the fans’ glares loosened. As expected of Miku-sama. Even the prince's fans recognized her.

"Sorry for making you wait."

"It can't be helped. Miku-san's bus was the last one to depart; so, it's only natural that you arrived late."

"That's right, Miku. It's not your fault."

The prince and I followed her without a moments delay.

Hasumi too said, 'don't mind it' and lightly patted her shoulder.

At such, Miku-sama smiled back.

And so, the outing with the splendid members began.

"First, let's go to the sports’ facility."

The prince said with a refreshing smile.

It's like Hasumi said. As expected of a childhood friend. You really understand him.

Without having the time to protest, we entered the sports’ facility.

Fine, I'll give up now. I'll give that up and start my field observation instead.

It seems like you can enjoy various sports here.

Tennis, badminton, archery, baseball, and more; a considerable number of sports names are written here.

The prince looked at Hasumi.

"Sousuke, let's do a one-on-one."

"basketball, mh…...occasionally, it's good."

"Okay, then it's settled! What will Miku and Kaguragi-san do?"

"I'll spectate."

"If Rinksan is going to watch then I'll do so too."

"I understand. Then, let's go, Sousuke."

"Yes."

The prince dragged Hasumi to the basketball camp. It seemed like no one was using it right now.

Miku-sama and I decided to sit in the corner to watch.

"I won't lose, Sousuke."

"Yeah, of course."

The two played rock, paper, scissors, and it seemed like it's the prince win.

And it looked like the prince will attack first.

Before the start of the game, they took off their blazers and gave it to us.

And now, standing at the centre of the camp, they faced each other.

The prince dribbled producing a *damdam* sound.

And then, it was just in an instant. The prince surpa.s.sed Hasumi in a moment and did a lay-up shot.

And that surprised Hasumi too.

"First 2 point. Sousuke, shall we do a 10 point game?"

".....fine. Next is my turn."

This time is Hasumi's time to be on the offense.

Hasumi dribbled, and then after checking his feet, he shot on the spot

"N…….!?"

This time it was the prince's turn to be surprised.

Hasumi aimed to shoot a three pointer at the very beginning.

The ball made a beautiful arc, arriving at the basket.

"With this it's 3 points."

"......as expected of Sousuke. Isn't this turning interesting…..!"

And so their high level match unfolded.

Incredible, I'm impressed that they can move like that.

While I was watching these two in admiration, before I noticed it, Miku-sama, who was seated next to me, disappeared.

are? Where did Miku-sama go?

When I looked around me restless, I saw Miku-sama at the storehouse where the b.a.l.l.s were placed, waving at me.

Why are you in such a place?

I went to where Miku-sama was.

Miku-sama, smiling, showed me what she had in her hands and said, "do you want to play this?" In a really cute manner, so I replied, "Yes." with a smile.

The prince and Hasumi's match was over.

The result: the prince had won by a narrow margin. The two of them, who were sweating, looked to be from out of a picture, and came to us.

"My, good work; Subaru, Sousuke."

"Ah. I'm glad I managed to win."

"With just a bit, I would have won……"

"Fufu. It was a good match."

"Truly. It was a really great match!"

I praised the two and smiled.

When those two looked at me, they stiffened as if they wanted to say something.

"Kkaguragi-san…..?"

"You, what are you doing……?"

"I'm only doing hula hoop though?"

"Ah, yeah…..I can see that but, the question is: why are you doing hula hoop?"

"I felt like moving my body a bit."

What was recommended by Miku-sama earlier was Hula hooping. Why such a thing was here is a mystery though.

I suck at sports, but hula hoop is my speciality.

I'm rotating 3 at the same time right now.

I feel like I'd be able to do it with 5 as well…...but I'll refrain.

The prince and Hasumi's eyes hurts.

"Kaguragi-san is truly interesting ne……"

Somehow, I felt like it reverberated in a shocked manner; but, it must be my imagination, right?

Tn: Naoriel -Pffft, so she was…..saying, "it was a great match," while hula hooping? No, while moving 3 at the same time?

Ed: Aeternatrix -Oh, this is Nao, not novel… 3 isn’t that hard.
