Guzen No Ai/Accidental Love's

Volume 2, Chapter 11: It Shouldn't be Me!, Part 1

The next day, after the Lunar festival, was the very prestigious inter-city final match in the city of Eiyuu, precisely at the Kibou Arena. Naoto who had arrived at the venue of the final match saw his friends who had arrived.

“Naoto!!! Make sure you win!”

His friends who provided that support made Naoto happy, suddenly there was Han with one more person who was beside him. Naoto suddenly went towards Han and asked who the person he was with was.

“Han, who is that person?”

Han who saw Naoto looked puzzled replied in a cheerful tone.

“Oh, he's my cousin's brother. His name is Nagi, and he's in the team we're going to play against.”

“Greetings.”

“Greetings.”

Nagi who saw the two of them started to split towards her team. When Nagi left, Naoto asked Han in a slightly optimistic tone.

“Han, if he is your brother..means one of your family will come?”

“Yes, they'll come out of this. More precisely is 1 large family.”

“Oh, that? Happy you are, my family also came to watch hehehe.”

The two of them were then summoned by his captain to get ready, while all of his friends went to the stands. The late Haruki catches up with Han into the basketball team's locker room.

“Ahh, I'm late!!”

Haruki suddenly hit Han from behind. But Han didn't fall like that. Han who felt that there was a collision behind him suddenly turned back and looked at Haruki. Han was shocked because the person who hit him was Haruki.

“H-Haruki?? Why are you here?”

“M-I'm sorry, I don't know where the audience stands.”

Han who listened to Haruki also pointed towards a special door that could deliver Haruki to the audience stands.

“The audience tribune passed by Haruki. You just walk there and find your own way.”

“O-Oh, thank you.”

When Haruki wanted to go there, Haruki suddenly turned around and called Han. His face was flushed red and he spoke timidly in front of Han.

“M-Win.”

Han who saw that just smiled and replied Haruki in a slow tone.

“Thank you.”

Eventually the two of them split up, and the start of that final match!

Why is this city tournament the most prestigious tournament? Because of this tournament, the winner of this tournament will appear in the national championship.

Han who had arrived in the dressing room had his eyes very focused and a smiling face. Han was very late because of the strategy discussion Mr. Kibe is done. Mr. Kibe who saw Han smiled and that focused gaze did not comment much.

“You're late, but your eyes and face already show you're focused on the game. We will win this game!”

All the players who were in the dressing room started shouting loudly.

The field had been entered by the two teams competing, Han who saw Nagi who was on the bench made him a little insulted, because Han was very excited to compete with Nagi. Han who glanced towards Nagi began to speak in his heart.

“Again, I will force you to play as fast as possible!”

Naoto who saw Han's expression so keenly saw Nagi started asking Han with a relaxed face.

“Han, do you want to play against him? This is not the time you choose your opponent.”

Han did not answer Naoto's words, he was completely focused on the match. On the other hand, Haruki had already joined his classmates who were on the top bench of the stands. Kibou Arena was very crowded at that time because the full stands were filled by both sides of the school who competed on the field and neutral spectators. In a special place there was already the entire Lin family present watching the match, that place was already devoted to them.

Jump ball, Start!

Han who got the ball from the middle of the field started preparing his horses, then Han shot a point from the middle of the field and entered! The audience was suddenly silent, the opposing team was unable to move when it saw Han shooting from such a distance.

“Now we survive, Han!”

Naoto who hit Han's shoulder made Han move backwards to defend. Within 5 minutes, the score had already shown 21-3! The good cooperation between Han and Naoto again made them excel far in the first half. This final match was not felt at first, school goers Nagi started insulting the Han school basketball team for playing very cheating basketball. Due to that verbal friction, the two supporters started making fun of each other.

“CHEATER!!!!”

“35-3, GO HOME!!!”

The first half was ended, and the score in the first half was 35-3. Due to regulation, Han and Naoto were not allowed to play in the second round. But Nagi started playing in the second round, which made Han want to play against him during the first round.

The second half started, already 5 minutes passed Nagi did not have a significant enough impact on his team and the score did not change at all. Naoto started asking Han what was special about Nagi so Han was eager to fight her.

“Han, what makes you want to fight Nagi? How interesting is Nagi in your eyes?”

“In a minute, look at.”

That smiling Han made Naoto shiver. Nagi who was carrying the ball saw her friend being guarded all by Han's team. Nagi started dribbling the ball and he managed to get into the defense of Han's team. When Han's two friends started to help the defense, Nagi turned her body around and did a back pass to her friend who was inside the paint area.

Opportunities were created for Nagi school, the score being 35-5.

Naoto who saw Nagi's action began to creep, and Mr. Kibe submits and puts Han in the field. The very happy Han saw Nagi and threw words at each other.

“Hey, sorry for keeping you waiting.”

“Let's have fun here, Nagi!”

Clearly, Han was superior to Nagi. Within 3 minutes, Han managed to score 7 points and Nagi managed to score 2. The score increases to 42-7, and the time is 1 minute apart.

When Han's friend doesn't manage to get hold of the ball, it's stolen by Nagi. Nagi who was running towards the ring from Han's team started to lay-up. Suddenly, Nagi's friend pushes Nagi until Nagi is hit by a basketball hoop bearing near the floor and

His calf bone broke to 2, Nagi was unable to stand up and grimaced in pain.

“ADUH!!! IT HURTS!!!! PAIN!!!!!!”

When Nagi looked towards her feet, she started screaming hysterically in fear. Han who witnessed the accident suddenly knelt down, his eyes were empty, his mouth opened, and his body trembled. He was very frightened to see the horror game that Nagi's friends had done to his own friend. He then stood up and saw Nagi full of cries, then carried her towards the medics who were carrying the bed.
