Chapter 15 Part 3
Yuu was happy to be able to immediately make a new acquaintance in the same grade.
The team Yuu was joining had Shiina and the bright black senior from earlier, making them look very strong.
A senpai who ended up being left out after losing in the rock-paper-scissors blew the whistle to start the game.
Since they used only half of the court, the game started at the center line. The winner would be the team that scored 10 points first or the team with the most points in 10 minutes.
For a while, the pattern where the seniors passed the ball around and then fought for it when it was passed to a first year near the goal continued on.
When the ball was passed to Yuu, for some reason, the opposing team was merrily coming at him to snatch it.
Leaving fellow first-years aside, there was no way he could stand a chance against the seniors.
In particular, the other team had a 190-centimeter tall blonde-haired, blue-eyed player who would put up a screen against him. She was like a wall.
「Fufufu, come on boy?」
「Mmm.」
Planning to pass to his teammate, he immediately looked to his left and right, but unfortunately, they were all marked.
I have to break through here.
Thinking so, Yuu continued to dribble.
Perhaps holding back because the other party was a first-year boy, the white senior did not charge at him strongly, but it didn’t look like she would allow him to get past her easily either.
He feinted once and almost managed to get past her, but she punctually reacted to it. Not only were her hands long, so were her legs.
「I’m free over here! Pass, pass!」
「No need to push yourself!」
There were voices of his teammates calling out to him, but Yuu tried to concentrate on the duel in front of him.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to him. I’m just an amateur and this isn’t a match, so I guess it’s fine even if I don’t go with a frontal attack.
Yuu leaned in closer to her from the front.
「Huh?」
As opposed to snatching the ball, the white senior wound up being dumbfounded by his sudden action.
「Senpai, you are so beautiful! I think I’m going to fall for you!」
「Ah….」
Making use of the opening when she was frozen in place, he got past her through the right side.
When Yuu passed the ball to Youko, who was under the goal, she scored a splendid goal.
As they each returned to their original positions, he was lightly tapped on the shoulder with a pomf by the senior from earlier.
「You mustn’t say something like that, even as a joke. Since I’ll end up taking it seriously.」
Yuu turned and looked at her carefully.
「I wasn’t joking, you know? Those words came from the bottom of my heart.」
As expected, it was embarrassing, so he immediately moved away from her as soon as he said so.
「Oh…」
The white senior wound up being frozen in place right then and there, opening her blue eyes wide and covering her mouth with both hands.
Her cheeks were slightly tinged red.
The mini-game unexpectedly turned out to be a close one, and the points were tied 8-8 with neither side conceding.
Considering the time remaining, the winner would probably be the one who could get one more point.
Yuu, who had tried to do some exercise-worthy exercise for the first time after being reborn, thought.
From reflexes to explosive power, this body seems to have good motoric abilities.
However, there was a problem.
It should have only been a few minutes, but after running around continuously to keep up with everyone else, he felt like he was going to get out of breath.
Haunted by the fact that he had never done any proper exercise until middle school, it seemed that he had an endurance problem.
Thinking back, he remembered that when he was chased by a group of classmate girls on the way home after the graduation ceremony, his speed also soon fell even though he hadn’t run very far.
Looks like, I need to work out a bit.
While I’m at it, I want to build up my muscles, too.
Now that he had been reborn, he would like to try improving his specs.
One more point.
Receiving a pass at the edge of the sideline, Yuu thought that might as well, he would like to score it himself, so he dribbled and raced to the area under the goal.
However, he was blocked by two players in front of him.
In an instant, he tried to get past the side of the first-year girl in gym uniform on the right side, instead of the senpai on the left.
But his legs, fatigued from the unaccustomed exercise, could not keep up.
「Whoa!」
「Kya!」
As his legs got caught, he ended up falling together with her with him being on top of her.
Promptly, Yuu held the head of the opposite party, who was falling on her back, with his left arm to protect it.
Bam!
「Are you okay?!」
Everyone rushed to the two who had fallen due to the charge play.
Yuu was hanging over the girl who had fallen on her back.
Yuu was protecting her head, so it also looked as if they were hugging each other.
「My bad. I tripped. Err, are you okay?」
「Hawawawa… I, I hit my buttocks, but… I-I-I, I’m okay!」
Raising his body, Yuu naturally held out his right hand.
「Huh?」
Taking another look at her, the face of the girl, who sported braided hair and gave off a timid air, was bright red, and she was just looking at Yuu’s hand.
「C’mon, give me your hand. I’ll help you get up.」
「Ah… Yes.」
Holding the girl’s hand as she timidly held it out, Yuu pulled her up.
Maybe she was so shaken that she staggered on her feet, following the momentum of having her hand pulled, her body moved closer to Yuu and her face became very close to his in one go.
「Hyaa! Aaah, I, I’m sorry! I mean… T, thank you.」
「Not at all, it’s me who should be sorry.」
As far as Yuu was concerned, his words and actions stemmed from the common sense of his former world that as the other part was a girl, it would be a bad idea to let her get injured, but she felt guilty that she had ended up getting a boy caught up in a crash, even though the fault was not hers.
「Muu, how enviable.」
「I want to bump into him too.」
「I mean, let him do it with us next time!」
「The game isn’t over yet! And I won’t let you say that’s the end of it, okay?!」
As soon as he thought that was all, a voice could be heard from a distance.
「It’s unfair for you to be with the basketball club all the time! Come over here this time! Since we’ll teach you everything you need to know about it!」
「That’s right, come to the volleyball club!」
Yuu was facing the girl he had ended up knocking down, but he noticed that the surrounding area was abuzz. As more and more passionate gazes were directed at him, he regretted a little, thinking that he had gone and done it now.
At that moment, a high-pitched fweeeet sound echoed through the gymnasium.
「Hey, what are you doing crowding up like that?! Err, I heard that some boys have come to observe, but….」
The one who raised a taut voice after blowing the whistle hanging on her chest as soon as she came into the gymnasium was a woman of about 30 years old, wearing a jersey on top and bottom.
Given her appearance, sporting a tall and firm build as well as very short hair which made her look like a man at a glance, she gave off an impression very much like that of a PE teacher.
Two girls in sailor uniforms came in after her, and when they saw Yuu, they looked at him as if they had found something very intriguing.
