- Chapter 190: Bo-taoshi
[TN: Bo-Taoshi is an obscure Japanese sport or game that has some similarities to Capture the Flag. With teams of 150 people, however, Bo-Taoshi is consistently rowdier and more dangerous.]
It was probably the men’s horse fight and the Bo-taoshi that were almost always mentioned as the main event at the athletic festival. Of course, the class competition relay and the jump rope performed at the end were also exciting, but these two were by far the most powerful.
“I have to be careful about my injuries, thinking about the future.”
“That’s right. There is a relay qualifying at the end of the morning, and the final in the afternoon. I can’t get hurt.”
Shinji and I left the class tent and arrived at the waiting area to participate in the upcoming Bo-taoshi. Other than us, Mogi of the baseball club had high athletic ability, and at the same time, many athletic boys were gathering.
The total number of participants in the red and white teams exceeded 60, which was the second largest number of participants after the horse fight.
“If Yuya-kun should be injured, Ichiyo-san and Nikaido-san will both stop functioning at the same time. Please understand?”
“I understand Kaede, but it is the same for Nikaido and Shinji. Because if you get injured, Otsuki-san will stop functioning.”
In that case, there would be no chance of winning the ball game, which was one of the events that could not be left defeated in order for the class to win.
“And if you guys get injured, we non-motivated boys will be criticized by girls, so don’t get hurt!”
Most of the boys in my class, including Mogi, and even the boys in the Beni-gumi, who were on the same team, nodded. It was good to be united.
“Hey, Mogi. I’ve been thinking for a long time, but you have a girlfriend? If so, should I be on this side?”
“Shut up, Yoshizumi! It’s a different story! It’s outrageous to let Meiwadai’s three great beautiful girls sacrifice and even join the expected freshmen! Be careful of your back. Hah!”
It was okay to declare war with tears, but this was exactly the opposite, Mogi. If you do that, Kaede-san would take a frigid gaze. Also, was it Yui-chan, even if it was expected to be a freshman, wasn’t that too good?
“Miyamoto-san has a reputation for being extremely cute in the first grade, Yoshizumi-senpai.”
The one who answered my question was a familiar first grader. Nikaido had mentioned that Yui-chan belonged to the basketball club, and although she was still physically fit, she had good muscles and guts.
“Um … I wonder if you were Yasaka-kun, the one in the same class as Yui-chan?”
“Yes! Yasuhito Yasaka. Thank you again! “
Regardless, I also shook hands after returning. Yasaka-kun was a cute boy rather than a cool boy. I felt something close to Shinji. Well, in the case of Shinji, it was a tiger with a cat’s skin, but in the case of Yasaka-kun, was it an unmistakable puppy?
“I won’t lose to Yoshizumi-senpai. I’ll definitely capture the opponent’s flag!”
I wonder why, even though I should be saying something really cool, I think it was cute. It was like a pet dog trying to catch a frisbee to get compliments from his owner.
“I’m not going to be the only one for my seniors. I’ll show you a cool place here and tell that person ───”
Yasaka-kun begins to mutter and soliloquy while standing down. It was not just the heat that made his cheeks red. Apparently he also had someone who he wanted to show his success. It was unreasonable to ask who that person was.
“Well, let’s do our best to be careful of each other’s injuries. And this is a red and white battle. Let’s do our best together so that the red team can win.”
Yasaka-kun stared at the hand I put out with a face that looked like a crushed worm.
“I feel like I was able to show off the difference between men’s vessels, but … yes, let’s work together and do our best!”
We shook hands again. Even so, Yasaka-kun had a strong grip strength regardless of appearance. I think I was holding it too hard.
*****
I don’t think it was necessary to explain the rules for Bo-taoshi, but let me explain briefly. First, divide the team into a defense group that held a pole and an attack group that would try to bring down the opponent’s pole. With the signal to start the game, the attacking group attacks the opponent, and the one who brings down the opponent’s pole down to an angle of 45 degree first wins.
I, Shinji, and Yasaka-kun, who were light and fast, joined the attack group, and the power type Mogi joined the defense group. Of course, it was the attack group that would stand out, so Mogi complained.
“But, I think it’s cool to see that we’re trying to keep our bodies from being knocked down while we’re having a hard time knocking down the pole. I think it would seem cool for girls as well? In the first place, our efforts are indispensable for us to win. Did you ask? “
With Shinji’s persuasion, Mogi smiled and declared, “Leave it to me! I’ll do my best to win!” He was saved by a simple guy.
“When the signal to start the game sounds, we attackers have to go around the ground halfway first, so reaching before the opponent is an absolute requirement for victory.”
The number of attacking groups was less than 15 for both the red group and the white group.
Among these, what was required of us who were fast was to cut the lead and bring down the pole as soon as possible.
“Our responsibility as the leader is important …”
“That’s right, Yasaka-kun. So I’ll attack in the shortest and fastest way.”
I said to Yasaka-kun beside me, bending and stretching twice and three times at the start line to loosen my body. I was surprised to hear of Yasaka-kun’s 50m sprint time because it was pretty good. He would also participate in the class competition relay, so he was likely to be a vigilant opponent.
“Yuya-kun !! Good luck !!”
“Yoshizumi! I don’t know if I will lose!”
“Shin-kun !! Don’t get hurt!”
Mogi said that the three beautiful girls of Meiwadai were cheering for me, and he felt motivated, but it was conceivable that the hate of the other party would also accumulate. Don’t try to turn hatred into power?
“Yasaka-kun! This is a showcase for men! Good luck!”
Yasaka-kun was being cheered on by Yui-chan. I couldn’t put it in the middle corner.
“… Yoshizumi-senpai, this is a misunderstanding, so I’ll tell you. It’s not Miyamoto-san who I want to be cheered on by.”
“What? Is it different?”
“Yes. Well, no one will tell Yoshizumi-senpai that. It’s about to start, right?”
When Yasaka-kun told me to turn my gaze out of the ground, the athletic festival executor, who was the starter, was just about to get on the table. I exhaled lightly and concentrated.
“About the position … Good ────── “
Pan!
Almost as soon as the dry sound rang on the ground, we rushed towards the enemy.
