Chapter 15 Part 1
High School Entrance (2) ~Passionate Gaze~
The gymnasium was divided in half, with the basketball team using one half and the volleyball team using the other.
Brought along by the two second-year girls, it was naturally the part occupied by the basketball club that Yuu and Rei were headed for.
Even before going into the gymnasium, they could already hear the sound of balls bouncing on the floor and the voices of the girls who were merrily doing their club activities from outside.
「Everyone will surely be surprised, won’t they?」
「I guess. I want to see the surprised faces of the Senpais~」
As they drew closer to the open entrance at the side of the gymnasium, the two seniors laughed kukuku, seemingly enjoying it very much.
「I think, sporty girls are a little scary.」
Rei, who came along a little behind Yuu, grabbed him by the hem of his jacket.
That gesture of his was also girly, which made Yuu smile wryly.
「It’ll be okay. We’ve specially enrolled at a co-ed school, so everything is an experience.」
「Is, is that so?」
In contrast to Rei, who was unable to hide his anxiety, Yuu was filled with anticipation.
After all, he had been expressly asked to watch the scenes of high school girls working hard at their club activities.
Although in front of Rei, he had told the two that they would only be there for about 10 minutes, it was a heaven-sent opportunity, so he was determined to burn it into his memory and enjoy it as much as possible.
When he took a step into the gymnasium, he found a space that was filled with 100% women.
There was a faint sweet and sour smell of sweat, and Yuu took a deep breath and inhaled it.
Thump-thump-thump, the sound of basketballs bouncing on the floor.
The girls running around nimbly.
「Go, go, go~」 「Pass!」 「It’s free over there!」 「Don’t dawdle around!」
Following the movements on the court, enthusiastic voices echoed.
The players passing the ball quickly.
When one of the players threw a shot upon receiving a pass at the very edge of the free throw line, the ball drew a parabola and was sucked into the net set up at a high place.
On the court, players in purple uniforms, the school’s color, seemed to be playing a practice game, divided by red and yellow numbers.
Acting as referee and those outside the line were members of the club dressed in gym uniforms.
At a quick glance, there seemed to be no less than 30 people.
Like the second-year seniors who brought Yuu and Rei to the gymnasium, there might be other club members who were going around the school grounds to recruit new students, so there might actually be more than that.
There were also a few white and black girls who were a head taller than the rest in the mix.
Quite impactful, isn’t it?
It might be partly because as a whole, there were only tall girls there.
Yuu himself had never had a chance to watch a basketball game before, but now that he was watching the figures of tall girls running around and scrambling for the ball in front of him, he found it surprisingly impactful.
「We have people who wish to observe our club activity with us~!」
「And you know what?! They’re first-year boys!!」
As soon as the two seniors who had led the way shouted, not only the players on the court, who were absorbed in chasing the ball, but also the members of the club in gym uniforms around the court. On top of that, although they did not notice them, even first-year girls in sailor uniforms, who seemed to have come to observe the club activities as well, looked at Yuu and Rei at the same time.
One of the players, who was in a shooting position, wound up stopping in place with her eyes wide open and her mouth hanging open. The ball, which was held up with both hands, fell and rolled off the court.
「No way? Boys? Don’t tell me!」
「W, w, what did you just say?!」
「Moreover… They’re a pair of a super-cool boy and a super-cute boy to boot!」
Murmurs dominated the gymnasium.
Before they knew it, even the members of the volleyball club on the other side of the gymnasium were clinging to the net that divided the gymnasium in the middle and were staring closely at them.
Clap! Clap!
「C’mon! Continue the game!」
The one who managed to reboot first was a girl in uniform wearing the red No. 4 number.
After clapping her hands from the edge of the line to urge her club mates, she came running to Yuu and the others in a mad dash.
She came over in a mad dash, going around the court from the opposite side, but she was not out of breath at all.
As expected of a sporty girl.
「Boys came to observe our club activities? That’s unusual. I welcome you. I’m Shiina, a third-year and the one who has been given the honor to act as the captain.」
「I’m Hirose, a first-year.」
「Err… Same as him, I’m H, Higashino.」
The captain, who identified herself as Shiina, has a face that was clearly above Yuu’s eye level and a ponytail with her forehead sticking out.
She was without a doubt more than 180 cm in height.
Sporting a gallant face, broad shoulders and a sturdy physique, she clearly gave off the vibe of a captain.
Moreover, without moving his eyes much, the twin mounds protruding in front of him naturally came into view.
The uniform of the basketball team consisted of a tank top and shorts.
In the world where Yuu was from, loose-fitting pants that went below the knees were in fashion, but a tight-fitting uniform seemed to have been adopted in this school.
Thanks to this, Yuu was happy that he could clearly see their body lines.
He could wholly see that even the captain in front of him had a great figure.
Yuu thought that Kanako, his male security personnel, might have been like this back when she was a high school student.
Then they observed the club’s activities while receiving explanations about the basketball club from Shiina-senpai.
The two second-years who had brought them along were clearly wanting to stay there with them, but walked out after being defeated by Shiina-senpai’s silent pressure.
He learned anew the severity of the hierarchical relationship in the sports department.
According to her explanation, the Sairyo Academy basketball team made it to the best four or eight in the prefecture in the spring, summer, and fall tournaments last year. They always made it to the later stage, but the wall to the finals was a tall one.
This year, they were aiming to make it to the national tournament, their long-cherished goal, for sure.
He vaguely remembered it as the content was similar to what was said during the club activity information session previously held in the gymnasium, but Yuu listened without saying anything.
Before he knew it, the practice game being held in front of them seemed to have become much more heated, and he could see them dribbling at a very fast pace, competing fiercely for the ball, and throwing superb 3-point shots.
On top of that, the tall black girl made a great leap to drive home a dunk.
「Those guys… Just because there are boys watching, they’re putting in just as much spirits as they do for the real game.」
The captain sported a somewhat exasperated look on her face.
「Th, that’s amazing, isn’t it?」
「Yeah, it’s worth watching.」
Among the ball games, he had the image of basketball being a stylish one, but he now understood that it was an intense sport where their bodies sometimes collided with each other as they scrambled for the ball.
Currently, the player who had just scored another shot jumped and exchanged high-fives with her teammates.
When the game resumed, it might have looked as if they were putting too much spirit into it as they minded the eyes of Yuu and Rei, but right now, they could watch a game that was filled with spirits in a natural manner.
