The Carnivorous Beast Beauties Are Dying to Devour This Herbivorous Beast Me - 15

Chapter 15: The Match Isn’t Over Yet!

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Take this…!”

“-?!””

“Wait…! I was in your blind spot! Do you have eyes on your back or something?!”

“I told you, I can see heat. I don’t have a blind spot.”

“Nice cut, Miran!”

“Yukiya-san and the class rep might be a bit scary, but not you! Haruku, you’re the only weak point in your team here!”

“Too bad! You’re within my defense zone!”

“UOWH?! How did you even make it to me that fast from there?!”

“Nice block, Chinatsu!”

“Fuh…!”

“Wha-?! With one hand?!”

“Grabbing the ball midair with one hand is a cheat move!!!”

“Nice rebound, Sagisawa-san!”

“UWOOOOOOOHH! ARGH-!”

“Whoa… She knocked Hirotaka out and proceeded with a dunk?!”

“Seira-san, that was really nice, but please try to keep it reasonable, okay?!”

“Hm… I will do my best, but only enough to avoid injuring anyone.”

With their monstrous stamina, speed and strength, Seira-san and Chinatsu kept racking up points after points. Sagisawa-san handled the ball with one hand, giving out passes with extreme precision and Miran was dominating the defense zone with her full range vision. All four of them were wreaking havoc on the court. 

…Do they even need me here? 

As for me, I had only been saying “Nice!” this whole time. Chinatsu was covering up for my lack of physical fitness. She was handling defense for two people while also joining the front line for offense. Despite that, her speed never diminished. The stamina of a wolf was truly immeasurable. 

And of course, the others too… Indeed, when a beastman showed their full potential, they could stand in a completely different realm from normal humans.

　♢♢♢♢

“Umm… And so, with a score of 58 to 14, victory goes to the Beastman Harem Team!”

“Hm~ It’s been a while since I could exercise this much. It feels so refreshing.”

“Indeed. Moving around really makes you sweat a bunch, even in winter.”

“Seira and Chinacchan. You two were running all over the place the most. Here, take these towels.”

“What about you, Sakuraba-san?”

“I don’t sweat much, but in exchange for that, my body temperature can change easily. I need to be careful so as to avoid letting my body temperature fluctuate too much.”

“I see. So that’s the unique trait of a cold-blooded beastman, huh?”

“””……….”””

The difference was plain as day. Seira-san and the other girls were still able to chat leisurely while on the other side, Shuuya and the other boys were utterly exhausted. They were lying sprawled out on the court. It was obvious who had won just from looking at their state. 

As for me? Well, I still had some energy left. Why? Well, it was because Chinatsu and Seira-san had covered for my part. I didn’t need to move around that much. 

“How do I say it… Everyone is really amazing, huh?”

I muttered, still in awe.

“Well, leaving me and Sagisawa-san aside, of course a snow leopard beastman and a wolf beastman could overpower ordinary humans in a game like this.”

Miran said.

“Sagisawa-san was really incredible too, you know? I mean, she was able to grip a basketball with one hand. That’s insane….”

“Actually… My personal record for grip strength is at 150 kilograms.”

“Sagisawa-san, are you a gorilla beastman…?”

“I’m actually a harpy eagle though?”

“Hiii-! I-I’m sorry, Sagisawa-san…”

“Haru, you… You really never learn, huh?”

“A-Anyway! Thanks to everyone, we were able to win the game! Thank you!”

“But the match is not over yet, Onii!”

“Huh…?”

“Yukiya-san and I are still tied in points! The match between me and Yukiya-san is not over yet!”

“…That’s true.”

“You’re still up for another game, Chinatsu?! Seira-san too?! Are you sure?!”

“Of course! Just because she’s beautiful, has a great figure and is totally Onii’s type, that doesn’t mean I’m going to hand Onii that easily!”

“Then let’s settle it with a round of badminton next. I will play with you, little doggie…”

“Wha-?! I’m not a dog! I’m a wolf! Alright, now you’ve done it! I will go all out, even if my opponent is you, Yukiya-san!”

“Hm. I expect no less. Come at me.”

After that, Chinatsu and Seira-san moved to the badminton court. Even though the two of them had been running around so much during the basketball game just a moment ago, they were still brimming with energy. They eagerly moved on with their next match with hardly any break. It made me wonder just how much stamina they really had. 

“Anyway, despite everything going on between them, those two are getting along quite nicely, huh?”

“Well… Chinatsu may seem a bit prickly, but she actually likes it when someone is eager to play with her like that.”

“Seira-chan too. Although her expression doesn’t change much, but she’s actually pretty caring. Sure, she might have sounded a bit condescending when she said,’I will play with you,’ but…”

“…I’m a bit worried that this playful match is going to turn into a real fight between a wolf and a snow leopard.”

“Is that so? But I think they’ll be fine.”

“Really? I mean, dogs and cats tend to not get along, so…”

“Yeah, because…”

^[1]Both of them like Haru, so they won’t do anything that will make him worried or angry.

Miran wanted to say that, but she decided to clamp her mouth shut.

^[2]Seira-chan and Chinacchan haven’t said it themselves yet, so I’m not going to expose them.

“Miran?”

“Hm? It’s nothing. I mean, if they were really going to fight for real, they wouldn’t go out of their way to suggest settling it with badminton instead.”

“Ah, I guess you’re right.”

Chinatsu too. Considering her physical prowess, she probably just wants to have someone she could play with without holding back.

Once that thought came to my mind, I felt strangely relieved. I looked at Chinatsu, who looked really excited to challenge Seira-san. Witnessing this sight brought me a surge of happiness.
