“Hey, Sora Sora! Big news! The Japanese soccer team beat the Russian team!
“Hooh, that’s great!”
As usual, I was going to let Kazuto’s high-tension words pass me by from right to left… but isn’t that pretty awesome? I was a little curious.
“I heard that these two guys played an active role in everything. Akira Kuromiya, the Iron Fortress. The Heavenly Prince, Kouren Shinomiya.”
“Bufuu!”
I spewed out unintentionally. Because I know those people. I was good friends with them in high school…not so good. Yeah.
I mean, why choose the heavenly prince as a nickname for that guy? (Uwah…seriously?)
I heard they both went pro, but I didn’t think they were on the same team. Still, that’s awesome.
“So that’s the thing? Did Kouren score a lot of points?”
“How did you know? No, it’s true, he scored a goal from half court.”
“I knew it. The rest can be left to Akira… Ah? I’m sure he’s really strong, isn’t he?”
“W-Wait, you! Do you know him?”
“Well… I know him a littl-“
A vibrating sound echoed in my ears, and I looked at my phone, which I had tucked away in my pocket. There, conveniently, was the word “Kouren” displayed.
I… rejected it.
“Eh? Are you sure?”
“Yeah, it was a blocked call, and I’m afraid to take it.”
But the vibrator goes off once more. Depressed, I reject it again.
After that, and after that, he kept calling again and again, and after that, I gave up.
“Sorry, Kazuto, I gotta take this.”
“O-Okay.”
I picked up the phone and put the phone to my ear.
“What is it, Kouren?”
“Finally, stupid Sora! Do you know how many times I called you!?”
What a terrible thing to be cursed about. But, well, it’s my fault for not answering the phone.
“So? What’s up?”
“Did you see the news today? They showed my heroic figure. I’m sure professional soccer players are very popular. It’s always nice to have pretty girls cheering for you.”
I wonder if this guy came to call me to brag. If so, I’ll cut him off immediately.
“So, the thing is, I haven’t seen you in a while.”
For a moment, I feel sick to the point of goosebumps, but if Kouren is going to say something like this, there must be a reason.
“…What are your true intentions?”
“Akira is so bad… he begs me for a one-on-one every day, day after day, until eleven o’clock at night… What’s up with that guy? What’s going on with his stamina? Is he a monster? Please, please! I can’t take care of myself if I keep going like this, so you have to deal with him too!”
“…No… Because that’s it for me. I’m not good enough to be on the same level as the people on the pro team.”
“Stop joking, you bastard! You can’t force me to do everything!”
Because… Hey. It’s Akira, you know? Having to deal with that Soccer-crazed Akira… I don’t want to. I’m busy flirting with Alice right now.
“What’s that? What are you talking about?”
It’s Alice, of course, who popped out of nowhere. She rubbed her cheek against my cheek and casually flirted with me, trying to listen to our conversation. Alice is a formidable girl.
“Well, you see, Kouren is going to hold a small reunion with the members of our high school. But the reality of it is that I’m forced to play soccer with Akira.”
When I explained the situation in simple terms, Alice, who knows him a little, laughed bitterly.
“Y-Yeah… but isn’t it okay if we go? It’s been a while since I’ve seen everyone…and…I quite like… Sora playing soccer…”
Alice’s face turns red with a high pitched sound effect. Okay, it’s decided.
“I’m coming, Kouren. No matter what.”
“Really?! Thanks Sora! I’ll schedule it for mid-August, then! I’ll ask you to make it around that time!”
Thus, it was decided that I would have a reunion with my high school classmates after quite a while.
