<0762>
// Immediately following, the basketball club members were delighted.

<0763>\{Thành Viên} ""
// \{Team Member} "That was close!"

<0764>\{Thành Viên} ""
// \{Team Member} "I guess that was pretty good for warm-up!"

<0765>\{Thành Viên} ""
// \{Team Member} "It would be funny if they thought we were serious in that game, though!"

<0766> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "You all were extremely serious!"

<0767> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Leave it, Sunohara."

<0768> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "They can say whatever they want, that's the glory of winning."

<0769> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "But that sucks!"

<0770> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But we lost, so just give it up."

<0771>
// The onlookers hurriedly started to leave.

<0772>
// As if kicking away the students, a number of teachers were running this way.

<0773>
// It was probably all of the advisors that take care of this gym.

<0774> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "What is the meaning of this!?"

<0775>
// At the front was the guidance advisor, Oogami.

<0776> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Crap... let's get outta here!"

<0777>
// Sunohara turned away from the entrance and sprinted towards the emergency exit..

<0778> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Thanks helper, even though we lost."

<0779>\{Yoshino} ""
// \{Yoshino} "Yeah, well I should be apologising for not being of any help."

<0780>
// Yoshino Yuusuke ran towards the backdoor too.

<0781>
// I can't be sitting around, either.

<0782> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nagisa, we're going too!"

<0783>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, yes!"

<0784>
// The players take their positions on their sides of the court. We are to initiate the offensive.

<0785>
// Firstly, I tried spinning the ball to Miyazawa.

<0786>
// She grabbed the ball firmly in her hands, looked around, and started dribbling the ball.

<0787>
// She seemed to have quite the style.

<0788>
// Right before she got surrounded, she passed the ball back to me.

<0789>
// Sunohara has somehow managed to dart under the ring and started waving his hands at me.

<0790>
// I quickly passed the ball towards him.

<0791>
// He managed to get hold of the pass but was immediately surrounded by tall defenders.

<0792>
// At this juncture, Miyazawa had actually managed to walk to a superb position 45 degrees right of the ring.

<0793>
// Sunohara quickly spun the ball to her.

<0794>
// Right after she grabbed the ball, Miyazawa did a double-hand shot.

<0795>
// Whoosh! goes the net as the ball beautifully passed throught centre of the ring.

<0796> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Wooooaahhhh!!!"

<0797> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Wow, I didn't know you could do that!"

<0798> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "That seemed out of my capabilities actually."

<0799>
// She laughed humbly.

<0800>
// This time it was the opponent's turn to take the offensive.

<0801>
// Miyazawa was marked instantly.

<0802>
// Sunohara and I were being marked too, thus resulting in a man-to-man formation.

<0803>
// The opponent waited for a difficult opening and passed, but Sunohara intercepted it.

<0804> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Heh, heh, that was easy."

<0805>
// If we keep this up, we might soon be able to break their formation.

<0806>
// Our turn to attack.

<0807>
// The three of us passed the ball about, waiting for a loophole in the opponent's formation.

<0808>
// Miyazawa seemed to have found one and immediately attempted to dribble through.

<0809>
// Even when an opposing player tried to mark her, she turned her back towards him and guarded the ball well.

<0810>
// However, the opponent used this as a chance to tackle her.

<0811>
// Miyazawa was pushed to the ground and the ball bounced out of the court.

<0812> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Miyazawa!"

<0813> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "That was a foul!"

<0814>\{Thành Viên Bóng Rổ} ""
// \{Basketball Player} "Isn't she who tried to charge us?"

<0815>
// With the referee in favour, the basketball player was able to give an excuse.

<0816> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "You asshole!"

<0817>
// Suddenly, the player's body flew off like Miyazawa's and stumbled onto the ground.

<0818>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "How dare you touch our Yuki-nee!"

<0819>
// An unknown guy had entered the court.

<0820>\{Thành Viên Bóng Rổ} ""
// \{Basketball Player} "What was that about, is he one of your comrades?!"

<0821>\{Thành Viên Bóng Rổ} ""
// \{Basketball Player} "You lose the game if you play against the rules!"

<0822>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Wasn't it you who first played foul?!"

<0823> \{Another Man}
// \{Another Man} "What's this? Are you assholes having a fight?"

<0824>
// Yet another guy joined in the argument.

<0825>
// Following behind him was a bunch of guys in stern-looking male school uniforms.

<0826>
// No matter how you look at it, they certainly looked like delinquents from another school.

<0827> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "What's with these guys..."

<0828> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It would seem that... they are acquaintances of Miyazawa..."

<0829> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Ah everyone, I am perfectly fine!"

<0830>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Isn't that a graze on your elbow?!"

<0831>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "YOU ASSHOLES!"

<0832>
// The basketball team started having a scuffle with the acquaintances of Miyazawa.

<0833> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "What the... it seems that this has turned into something big..."

<0834> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Everyone, I'll get angry..."

<0835>
// That was Miyazawa's reprimand.

<0836>\{Người Đàn Ông} ""
// \{Man} "Ugh..."

<0837>
// The bunch of delinquents immediately stopped their actions.

<0838>
// But one of them still knocked down one of the players.

<0839>\{Thành Viên Bóng Rổ} ""
// \{Basketball Player} "Urgh..."

<0840>\{Thành Viên Bóng Rổ} ""
// \{Basketball Player} "You assholes, you lose for playing foul."

<0841> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Hey, hold on a minute!"

<0842>\{Thành Viên Bóng Rổ} ""
// \{Basketball Player} "Look here, our teammate has been injured and can't continue."

<0843>\{Thành Viên Bóng Rổ} ""
// \{Basketball Player} "So, you foul and lose. Go home."

<0844> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Er..."

<0845> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "How can this be~~?"

<0846> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "How may I offer you all an apology?"

<0847>
// Miyazawa kept her head down toward us apologetically thereafter.

<0848> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, I was pissed off too about them not getting penalized, so I'm relieved, actually."

<0849> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "But, we lost..."

<0850> \{Delinquent} 
// \{Delinquent} "So what? It was your fault for getting Yukine involved in the first place!"

<0851> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Heeeee!"

<0852> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Actually, it was I that responsibly accepted their offer, so..."

<0853> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "Everyone, make sure to properly apologize for ruining the match."

<0854>
// The men that were crouched around started to rise.

<0855> \{Miyazawa} ""
// \{Miyazawa} "One, two, three, and!"

<0856> \{Delinquents}
// \{Delinquents} "Sorry to bother you~!"

<0857>
// At Miyazawa's signal, the delinquents lower their heads simultaneously.

<0858>
// It was quite a sight, but...

<0859>
// I want to tell her to choose her friends more carefully...

<0860>
// The players take their positions on their sides of the court. We are to initiate the offensive.

<0861> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Come on, \m{A}!"

<0862>
// I pass the ball to Sunohara.

<0863> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "All right, Misae-san, here it comes!"

<0864> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Special Move...\p Breast Jiggle Shoooooooot!"

<0865> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "Who the hell would do a move like that!!!!!"

<0866>
// Misae-san lunged a devastating drop kick.

<0867>\{Trọng Tài} ""
// \{Referee} "Whistle----! Traveling!"

<0868> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Guahhh, you made me foul!"

<0869> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "Dumbass!"

<0870> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, defence!"

<0871> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Ah, right, right."

<0872>
// Can we actually win with this team...?

<0873>
// But, Misae-san's movements are really good.

<0874>
// They surpass the average male student's.

<0875>
// She is under the basket, ready for the rebound.

<0876> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "All right, the next one goes in!"

<0877>
// I pass the ball to Misae-san.

<0878>
// Even her skill is good. Without gathering opponents, she dribbles toward the basket.

<0879>
// As she reaches an opponent, she throws a quick pass to me.

<0880>
// I throw another quick pass to Sunohara, who quickly had run under the basket.

<0881>
// Sunohara gracefully catches the ball, and quickly between the opponents, performs a lay up shot.

<0882>
// The ball passes through the hoop.

<0883> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "Not bad, Sunohara."

<0884> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "Well, you'd be nothing without your reflexes, though."

<0885>
// That Sunohara steals the ball as an opponent dribbled by.

<0886> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Heh, let's score like crazy!"

<0887>
// The ball is passed to Misae-san.

<0888>
// Once again, she attacks the defense while dribbling.

<0889>
// This time, I run inside.

<0890>
// A pass from Misae-san.

<0891>
// As a one-two, I pass it back to Misae-san.

<0892>
// As they tried to block her by stretching out their hands, she ran through them.

<0893>
// Swish.

<0894> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "Thanks, \m{A}!"

<0895>
// The lay up shot succeeded.

<0896> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Amazing..."

<0897>
// Even Sunohara raises an astonished voice.

<0898> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It wasn't a jiggle, but more like a quake..."

<0899> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Oh, that..."

<0900>
// The other team is still full of bench players.

<0901>
// As we take the rebound, Sunohara and Misae alternatively score.

<0902>
// Before we knew it, the entrance to the gym was crowded with people in school uniforms.

<0903> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Looks like a crowd has started to gather, and it's looking good so far!"

<0904> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Looks like they're mostly here for Misae-san, though..."

<0905> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "MI-SA-E-SAN!!!!"

<0906> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "Yeeeeeees!"

<0907>
// She even replies to the audacious male crowd.

<0908>\{Đội Trưởng} ""
// \{Team Captain} "Time out! We're changing members!"

<0909>
// The captain's angry voice echoed throughout the building.

<0910> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, I figured we could get this far, but..."

<0911> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "The battle begins now that the main members are against us, huh..."

<0912>
// If every person gets switched with main members, their strength would increase tremendously.

<0913>
// I know they're going to get points in.

<0914>
// An amateur like Sunohara will get intercepted unless a lot of oppotunities are used.

<0915>
// Misae-san sees an opening and begins her move. To block the opening, the opponent moves as well.

<0916>
// Thanks to that, Sunohara had become open.

<0917>
// Without turning my head, I threw the ball to him.

<0918>
// Bam!

<0919> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Ow!"

<0920>
// It slammed right into Sunohara's face.

<0921> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't get tricked by your own teammate's feints!"

<0922> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Oww... all right, all right, I'll get it from now on."

<0923>
// Even body checks against Misae-san get harsher.

<0924> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "Hey, you just touched somewhere awkward, didn't you?!"

<0925> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Haah... haah... I want to be an opponent too..."

<0926> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, calm down."

<0927>
// He'll lose to a physical battle under the basket.

<0928>
// Sunohara prepares to intercept a pass before the ball can be brought there.

<0929> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Hah... hah..."

<0930>
// His breathing seemed to become more difficult. He must be near his limit...

<0931> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "The sweat makes her bra see-through... hah... hah..."

<0932> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Oh, that..."

<0933>
// To prevent getting under the basket, we start shooting from farther away.

<0934>
// Naturally, we started scoring less.

<0935>
// An intense defense game continues.

<0936>
// But...

<0937> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Huff... puff..."

<0938>
// As Sunohara's breathing begins to increase, our balance also begins to crumble.

<0939>
// Their passes succeed, and they continuously score.

<0940>
// I look at the score board.

<0941>
// They were just one point away from us.

<0942> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "How much time do we have left?!"

<0943>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Thirty seconds left to go."

<0944> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Sunohara, move, only thirty more seconds!"

<0945> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Hehe, I'm fine..."

<0946>
// Wobble, wobble...

<0947> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't wobble your knees."

<0948> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "How is Misae-san?"

<0949> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "I'm fine!"

<0950>
// Even while saying so, she was breathing heavily.

<0951>
// She's been moving since the beginning. It's only normal.

<0952> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Okay, let's score.

<0953>
// I pass a ball to a space that Misae-san ran to in one bound.

<0954>
// It's a failure if she gets surrounded. She immediately cuts under the basket.

<0955>
// A defender rushes forward to stop her.

<0956>
// They collide, and begin to fall.

<0957> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Aah, let me join you guys too!"

<0958> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hey, that's a foul!"

<0959>
// The referee ignored my shout.

<0960>
// Even so, Misae-san threw the ball before she hit the floor.

<0961>
// Sunohara picked up the ball, being completely open.

<0962> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "All right!"

<0963>
// Grabbing the ball with both hands, he leapt into the air.

<0964>
// Thunk!\shake{3}

<0965>
// The ball hits the ground.

<0966>
// Without the ball going in through the ring.

<0967>
// "Daaaahhhh---!" The cheering students all groaned at once.

<0968> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't try to dunk if you can't even reach it!"

<0969> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "That one just happened not to reach, haha!"

<0970> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Because you're trying to look cool, even though you're tired!"

<0971> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Do you realize how important that shot was?!"

<0972> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It's fine if I intercept the next ball right? Yup, yup."

<0973> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You know...!"

<0974> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "Um, they started attacking, by the way."

<0975>
// Swish.

<0976>
// Their lay up shot was perfect.

<0977> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "........."

<0978> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "Um, I'm sweating like crazy, can I go home now...?"

<0979> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "No..."

<0980> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Come on, I just thought that it would be cooler to end the game with a turn over!"

<0981> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It's part of the plan! Right, \m{A}?"

<0982> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Uh... yeah. That's right."

<0983> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Time is running out. Let's pass the ball around and make one final shot to finish this."

<0984> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "Hah... all right, I'll stay..."

<0985>\{Thành Viên Bóng Rổ} ""
// \{Basketball Player} "You guys, hurry up and start!"

<0986> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah, we're starting."

<0987> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Alright, you two."

<0988>
// I hold on to their shoulders and give out the final instructions.

<0989>
// Misae-san should make the last move

<0990>
// I should make the last move 

<0991> \{Misae} ""
// \{Misae} "Oh well, as you wish."

<0992> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "It'll be nice if it works out that way."

<0993>
// We go onto the court.

<0994>
// If the first pass gets stolen, it's game over.

<0995>
// They know that as well. Their defense is tighter than ever before.

<0996>
// Their formations spin round and around. It's hard on my eyes...

<0997>
// I throw the ball.

<0998>
// It crosses over into Misae-san's hands.

<0999>
// Before getting surrounded, she throws it back to me.

<1000>
// As I catch the ball, I immediately dribble toward the center.

<1001>
// They were surprised.

<1002>
// One, two...

<1003>
// ... layup!

<1004>
// A shadow creeps behind me.

<1005>
// I transferred the ball to my left hand in front of me.

<1006>
// Then, believing it's Sunohara behind me, I toss the ball up.

<1007> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Here it comes!"

<1008>
// Sunohara's voice.

<1009>
//  I turn around to see Sunohara, landing with the ball in his hands.

<1010>
// Then the defense that was on Sunohara tightens.

<1011>
// After a fake, the ball hits the floor.

<1012>
// The ball bounces high.

<1013>
// The one that sprinted and picked up the ball was Misae-san.

<1014>
// She shook off the defense on her, and then...

<1015>
// Layup.

<1016>
// The ball circles around the hoop.

<1017>
// Relying on force, the ball rolled off of the orbit... \pand fell onto the court floor.

<1018>
// .........

<1019>
// Silence filled the building.

<1020> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Time's up!"

<1021>
// Somebody's voice.

<1022>
// Immediately following, the basketball club members were delighted.

<1024>\{Thành Viên} ""
// \{Team Member} "I guess that was pretty good for warm-up!"

<1025>\{Thành Viên} ""

// Sunohara turned opposite of the entrance towards the emergency exit and starts running.

// I couldn't use Sunohara anymore so, there isn't anyone else but Nagisa. Though...

// \{Akio} "........."

<1377>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Fine."

<1378> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Eh? Is this about beating the crap out of me?!"

<1379>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "If you don't want to get beat up, intercept them, even if you die."

<1380> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Eeek, okay!"

<1381>
// We go onto the court.

<1382>
// If the first pass gets stolen, it's game over.

<1383>
// They know that as well. Their defense is tighter than ever before.

<1384>
// I continued to move minutely.

<1385>
// A far pass from pops comes flying.

<1386>
// I firmly grab it with both my hands...

<1387>
// And at once, dribble straight into the center, breaking through.

<1388>
// They were surprised.

<1389>
// Because the ones who had cut through were pops and Sunohara up until now.

<1390>
// One, two...

<1391>
// ... layup!

<1392>
// A shadow creeps behind me.

<1393>
// I transferred the ball to my left hand in front of me.

<1394>
// And then, just liek before, believing in Sunohara behind me, I raise the ball.

<1395> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Here it comes!"

<1396>
// Sunohara's voice.

<1397>
//  I turn around to see Sunohara, landing with the ball in his hands.

<1398>
// Then the defense that was on Sunohara tightens.

<1399>
// After a feint, the ball hits the floor.

<1400>
// The ball bounces high.

<1401>
// The one that sprinted and picked up the ball was pops.

<1402>
// He pushes away from the tight defense around him, and then...

<1403>
// Jump.

<1404>
// The defenders were a second too late, jumping.

<1405>
// Realizing they wouldn't make it... they body slam him.

<1406>
// ... a foul.

<1407>
// Pops' figure in the air messes up, and his arm didn't manage to reach the ring.

<1408>
// Landing down on the ground, pops had to let go of the ball.

<1409>
// The opponents pick it up.

<1410>
// At the same time...

<1411> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "Time's up!"

<1412>
// Somebody's voice.

<1413>
// Immediately following, the basketball club members were delighted.

<1414>\{Thành Viên} ""
// \{Team Member} "That was close!"

<1415>\{Thành Viên} ""
// \{Team Member} "I guess that was pretty good for warm-up!"

<1416>\{Thành Viên} ""
// \{Team Member} "It would be funny if they thought we were serious in that game, though!"

<1417> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "You assholes, you fouled at the end!"

<1418> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Leave it, Sunohara!"

<1419> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "They can say whatever they want, that's the glory of winning."

<1420> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "But that sucks!"

<1421> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But we lost, so just give it up."

<1422>
// The onlookers hurriedly started to leave.

<1423>
// As if kicking away the students, a number of teachers were running this way.

<1424>
// It was probably all of the advisors that take care of this gym.

<1425> \{Giọng Nói} ""
// \{Voice} "What is the meaning of this?!"

<1426>
// At the front was the guidance advisor, Oogami.

<1427> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Crap... let's get outta here!"

<1428>
// Sunohara turned opposite of the entrance towards the emergency exit and starts running.

<1429> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Pops."

<1430>\{Akio} ""
// \{Akio} "Yeah..."

<1431>
// Pops also ran off.

<1432>
// I can't be sitting around, either.

<1433> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nagisa, we'll have to go too. Can you run?"

<1434>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, yes!"

<1435>
// We both ran off, as if I were holding onto the limping Nagisa.

<1436>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "\m{B}-kun..."

<1437>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I'm going to be a burden..."

<1438> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't worry. To begin with, this wasn't a match we were going to win."

<1439>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "No, that's not how this should be..."

<1440>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Can nothing more be done about this...?"

<1441> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm, I guess... what can be done?"

<1442>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Hmm? Can something be done?"

<1443> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Yeah."

<1444> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Just shoot."

<1445>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Eh?"

<1446> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "This match is already over. We can't change that."

<1447> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But, we won't let it end like this."

<1448> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "We'll fight back with your shots."

<1449>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "But, your shots are definitely better, \m{B}-kun."

<1450>
// ... well, that's obvious.

<1451> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But you know, Nagisa, if a guy like me enters, that's normal."

<1452> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "But if someone as uncapable as you manages to score, the opponents will be as shocked as hell."

<1453> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "So, you shoot."

<1454>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "But, I haven't practiced shooting."

<1455> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "That's fine, just watch and learn."

<1456> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Chance and experience have no relationship after all."

<1457> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Let's create a miracle."

<1458>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Umm... I may be bad at ball games but, I'm a little confident in running or jumping."

<1459> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "And?"

<1460>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ah, well..."

<1461>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "It seems like I'm just making an excuse for having really bad reflexes..."*

<1462> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You can tell me later when you feel confident."

<1463> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Right now, let's pray."

<1464>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "O-okay..."

<1465> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It feels like the goddess smiles upon you."

<1466>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "All right then. I'll do my best!"

<1467>
// Sunohara passes the ball over to me.

<1468>
// I have one chance.

<1469>
// Nagisa had not once touched the ball, and right now, she was outside their defense net.

<1470>
// If I pass to Nagisa as she is, she'll at least have one free shot.

<1471>
// There is no second chance.

<1472> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Let's go...)

<1473>
// I go in solo under the basket.

<1474>
// My back pushes against my opponent, sinking into his body.

<1475>
// He also stuck to me, as a second player came to cover.

<1476> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (A quick pass won't make it...!)

<1477>
// Since I was pulled in enough, I throw the ball into the ground.

<1478>
// Jumping beneath the opponents' feet...

<1479>\{Thành Viên Bóng Rổ} ""
// \{Basketball Player} "... eh?"

<1480>
// The ball makes a high arc...

<1481>
// Swish.

<1482>
// Standing at the end of the court was Nagisa, with both her arms stretched out, the ball in her hands.

<1483>
// The place quiets down.

<1484>
// Everyone watched.

<1485>
// Using her whole body, Nagisa pushed the ball into the air.

<1486>
// She did so with all her might.

<1487> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} (Reach...)

<1488>
// I also prayed.

<1489>
// Swish.

<1490>
// It passes through the ring.

<1491>
// Immediately after that... the onlookers scream in joy.

<1492>
// A large roar, as if we had won.

<1493> \{Sunohara} ""
// \{Sunohara} "Woaaahhhh!!"

<1494> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well done, Nagisa!"

<1495>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "I did it, \m{B}-kun!"

<1496> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "You just used up the one chance in your lifetime!"

<1497>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Not at all, I aimed perfectly!"

<1498> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "In that case, that's amazing."

<1499>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Yes!"

<1500>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Having said so, you've corrected your view of me being weak at sports."

<1501>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "Ehehe."

<1502>
// In the midst of that cheer, they called the game.
