CH 54.5

The fifty vs fifty competition is a spectacular sight even with the players lining up in a row.

I don’t know if it’s because we’ve been here all morning or if these girls are just too easily heated, but I can feel a great deal of enthusiasm from the players.

I feel like everyone’s eyes are glaring at their opponents making the other party heat up or is it just my imagination?

Anyway, expectations were high for the spirited players and the audience were even cheering the names of the players.

『On your marks! Three, two, one….』

After a whistle, a hundred women rushed out at once.

Almost all of them ignored the sticks and clashed head-on, creating a huge cloud of dust.

「This is the peak of the decisive battle.」

「I never thought I’d have to go one-on-one with you!」

At the middle of the clash, Mince and Roast are beating up each other while making a big fuss.

「The sticks! Take the sticks!」

「Stop! Calm down! Bring the sticks back here!」

From the standby seats of the red and white team, the sad voices of Chicken and Jiren, who are playing the role of strategists, echoed.

However, no one cared. It became an all-out clash of 50 vs 50.

「Please…..」

Isuka, who was giving instructions in the back, placed the microphone of the loudspeaker device she had taken from Yashimo in front of me.

Perhaps she’s doing it unconsciously but her long tail behind her is reacting too much.

I can sense her uneasiness.

『Okay, no direct attacks, no punching or kicking』

At my words, two hundred eyes all turned toward the broadcasting booth.

「…………」

「…………」

After a moment of silence, the girls faced each other again and….

They began to push each other in a tight four-way formation.

「Uooooooooo!」

「You bastardddddssssss!」

「Push push push push!」

「Push them all to the back!!」

『This is not that kind of game! Compete for the sticks!』

They acted as if no one heard the announcer.

Even in their team’s waiting area, there are those who are shouting, “Stick”, “look down”, etc but they only get ignored.

Even so, the audience was delighted with them ignoring the rules.

「Do it!」

「Mince-oneesan! Win!」

「Roast-anego! Don’t lose!」

I snatched the microphone again and called out to the strategists of each team.

『Er, Chicken, Jiren, I’ll make a special exception and allow you to participate.』

「Uooooop!」

「Ah! Chicken is cunning!」

In the end, the sticks were fought over by the two strategists and Chicken’s red team won because Jiren got caught in the fray and was knocked out.

I wonder if we should have a rehearsal….things like this should be considered.

I’m honestly anxious but let’s move to the next competition.

-0-

『The next competition is a ball toss. You will throw your own set of colored balls into the basket at the top of the poles. The one that will be able to toss more balls on the baskets will win.』

I snatched the microphone again.

『Don’t steal your opponent’s balls, don’t touch your opponents, don’t do anything to the pole, that’s all.』

「Uuiiiiii!!」

「Understood.」

A cheerful reply roared to the ground but, should I believe it?

Amidst my lingering doubts, the ball toss began.

「Throw it in throw it in!」

「It won’t get in!」

「Just throw and throw!」

The white team suddenly gathered to discuss the situation after the competition had continued like that for a while.

What are they planning?

「Gather the balls!」

They all gathered balls together and one of them held a large number of balls.

She then ran toward a player who was standing in position. She stepped on her awaiting hands.

The receiver moved her hands up so as not to kill the momentum and the player with the balls also jumped into the air.

It didn’t look like a dunk but she managed to put the ball directly from a little above the basket.

「Alrightttt!」

「Landing!」

「Aaahhhhh!」

The player, who landed on the ground safely while screaming, immediately began to gather balls.

What a dangerous thing to do….

Perhaps inspired, the opposite team begins to do the same.

The audience goes “Good!”, “Do it!” with excitement.

After that, a few more ideas were used like three people lifting each other shoulder to shoulder or making a human staircase.

Has it become an acrobatic competition?

Next year, I’ll ban this competition itself.

Who do they think will heal them if they get hurt?

After that, the players had to compete in jump rope and horse jumping competitions with great fanfare. As the players and management were all exhausted, there were only two events left to compete in.
