By the time I’d more or less broken down the various aspects of basketball, the sky was pitch-black. Though the night-lights were on, visibility became poor if we strayed away from the court a little.

“I... I can’t go on anymore.” Completely drained, Mei flopped onto a bench.

He really gave it his all for someone who doesn’t normally exercise. “You’re going to be sore tomorrow, huh?”

“Natsuki, how are you still so full of energy?”

“Because I exercise. It’s good for you. Working out enriches the world.”

“What? That sounds scary somehow...”

Now that Mei was down for the count, I practiced on my own. I needed to regain my feel for the ball before the competition. I wasn’t good enough to beat the upperclassmen with my current skill level.

I gently dribbled the ball and then took a shot. My fingers were slightly off; the ball hit the hoop and bounced off.

“A little higher?” I muttered, then sighed and ran after it.

I looked up ahead to see someone else pick up the rolling ball. A girl wearing the same school’s uniform as me stepped out of the darkness—it was Motomiya Miori.

“What are you doing in a place like this?” She dribbled the ball, which appeared to stick to her hand, and then spun it on her finger.

“We’re practicing for the ball game competition,” I said.

“I expected that from you, but Shinohara-kun too?”

“He wants to show Funayama-san his cool side.”

“He kinda resembles you. Your motives for working hard are childish.” Miori giggled.

Quiet, you! Though I agree we resemble each other. “What about you? This park isn’t on your way home.”

“Mmm... I was in the mood for a little stroll. And then I spotted you.”

She pretended to be the same as usual, but I was certain it was just a front. Something had clearly happened. I could tell just by the timbre of her voice. But she didn’t say anything, so I hesitated about whether I should bring it up.

“Hey, Natsuki.” Miori stood in the center of the court and passed the ball to me. “I’ll keep you company while you train,” she said, taking a defensive stance.

I got it. If you won’t say anything, then I won’t ask. “One-on-one, first to three points.”
