Love, Dreams, Friendship

Reasons I Don't Like

Takumi and Keigo talked on the rooftop for almost an hour, and by the time they left the doorway, the time was already 5 o'clock.

"That's bad, Keigo"

"What are you talking about? Your friends."

Takumi said to Keigo, who said something blue that was not suitable for them, "I feel nauseous."

"... Yeah, but thank you."

Keigo replied, "I feel pain," to the master who thanked him again.

"a……"

As he exited the doorway, Keigo noticed the two people in front of him. When Takumi looked back at his eyes, Nao and Atsushi were there. After the executive committee meeting, Nao spoke with the school gate to go home, and Atsuto spoke at a turning point for club activities.

"Natural enemies 1 and 2 are a set"

When Keigo looked at Takumi as if he was making fun of him, Takumi silently stared at them. Due to the distance, the two seem to be unaware of Takumi and Keigo. After a while, Nao and Atsushi exchanged greetings and broke up on their respective paths.

"Can we go"

After confirming the situation, Keigo called Takumi. I also felt that Takumi was in a bad mood, but I thought I wanted to ask him something else that I was more worried about.

"Why do you make natural enemy 1 as your enemy?"

"Who are you?"

Takumi was a little frustrated because his name was deliberately smeared.

"That's Hasumi. You are certified as a natural enemy in the presence of Mr. Mamiya. That's why he's a natural enemy 1."

"... I told you before."

I remember telling Keigo the reason, so Takumi felt annoyed and answered a little.

"But ..."

"what is it"

Takumi looked at Keigo sharply, saying, "Don't listen anymore." Keigo dared to pretend not to notice it and continued speaking.

"I'm still a superficial person with you, but I don't think it's the type of person who makes someone an enemy for the simple reason that" something is crazy ". Maybe not a good person, but it's very bad . Not human.”

Takumi laughs at Keigo's honest assessment of himself. And he made fun of himself.

"That's me."

Keigo listened quietly and vaguely felt that Takumi was hiding something.

"For simple reasons, I make people my enemy of the eye, and I also do nonsense to them."

I thought I couldn't ask anymore about the sad master, so Keigo replied, "So."

"... All right, if you want to force me to be mad ..."

Takumi sighed while thinking about something. And he said:

"That's sneaky .. she"

"It's not fair?"

Keigo asked to know the meaning of those words, but Takumi said nothing more. As expected, Keigo did not want to chase anymore.

There were only two weeks left until the ball game, and every class was busy practicing at recess and after school. The Nao class also gradually strengthened their unity while participating in the exercises when the time was right.

This year's events are football and basketball for boys and volleyball and softball for girls. Regarding basketball and volleyball, there is team A and team B for each class. Some students have an event.

Meanwhile, basketball team B is having problems. Takumi, one of the members, never took part in training. Maybe he has a case in his home room, he has an uncooperative attitude towards the football club. Some students pleaded with Mukai, who was in charge, and Mukai also persuaded Takumi, but it was not very effective.

Meanwhile, the day has come when class 1 group A Nao can practice using gymnasiums and land during their homeroom time. Sure enough, Takumi jumped up and escaped to the roof.

"He really ..."

After confirming that there was no master, Mukai, the teacher, tried to leave the gymnasium to look for him. Then, Atsushi stops Mukai.

"I'm leaving. I'm a member of the executive committee."

Mukai was surprised that Atsuto would make such an offer because he was a member of the executive committee.

"Yes .. but is it okay?"

"Yoshikawa may not like him, and there is no guarantee that he will be brought in, but it's okay to talk. I think the teacher should be watching the class."

Atsushi had a cold face without any particular attention. Mukai is a little worried, but she decides to convince Takumi that Junto, who is not familiar with the class, is trying to do something for the class.

Atsushi answered "yes" and headed to the roof where his master was.

Takumi was lying on a bench on the roof. I could hear the voices of my classmates practicing football and softball on the ground.

"... This is bullshit"

As I muttered, the roof door opened. When I didn't even realize that someone else was missing me, I heard an unexpected voice calling my name.

- Why she ...

With that thought, Takumi remained lying down without answering. Then the man approached us and called his name again. Takumi was a little frustrated, but got up without answering.

"I heard it."

I know that, but Junto's still there.

"... What are you coming for?"

"Let's practice"

"... I can't go"

"Maybe"

Takumi was angry with Atsushi's attitude that answered lightly, as if he had already predicted what he would answer.

"What are you doing stupid?"

"... Did I say something stupid?"

Takumi shook his tongue without answering Junto's question, which he listened to without changing his expression.

"Don't be really mad"

"... I know I hate me, but I don't think that's a reason to practice it. Is it fun to involve unrelated men?"

Takumi laughed as if amazed at Junto who still looks cool and does not flinch with Takumi's words.

"It is better not to start from scratch than to leave it in the middle of the road and cause trouble."

Atsushi did not say anything back to the master words released with some meaning. Takumi smiled wickedly when he saw Junto like that.

"Well, it's just a one-day ball game. Even if I ignore it, for example, I have been practicing all the time, but I missed the actual game."

Takumi continued, while listening to his story without saying anything.

"... This was completely different from the abandonment method of losing everyone's dream and escaping even though they had been at the center of the club's activities for a long time."

When I said that, Takumi felt that Junto's expression had changed for the first time.

"... If you don't want to come to rehearsal or production, you don't have to come."

Atsushi completely succumbs to Takumi's attitude of trying to take the story in a different direction from the ball game society, and gives up a little thrown. Atsushi sighed as he felt his lack of strength, saying that he had stopped Mukai and came to persuade her, but instead he had hardened his feelings. Then he turned his back on Takumi and walked towards the door. Takumi was frustrated by Atsushi's reaction as if he wasn't talking about himself, and spouted words as if shouting.

"You can keep playing baseball well"

Atsushi's movement to reach the doorknob stopped.

"Because of you, I lost an important game and destroyed my seniors' dreams, abandoned my friends who tried so hard to take over the dream, quit the baseball club, weakened the team... I was built by a strong school. It's cowardly to keep playing baseball."

Takumi had a satisfying face to that extent. Atsushi remained silent without turning around. Takumi continued his words to Atsushi who did not say anything back.

"... If those who don't know this story hear it, you're alone."

Takumi told me to make fun of him, embarrass himself.

"So?"

Atsushi, who was silent the entire time by turning his back on Takumi, said a word and always turned to Takumi with a calm face. Atsushi's unmoving demeanor made me feel stupid, and Takumi became annoyed.

"What are you doing! In reality, you shouldn't be miserable alone!"

"I'm not sure what's sad, but .. what Yoshikawa said earlier isn't wrong, and I don't want to hide it. If you want to say it, you can say it."

Atsushi said in a calm tone, and turned his back on Takumi again and tried to leave the roof. Takumi is angry at Junto, which is very cool. I really want to say that it would ruin Atsushi.

"May I tell Mamiya-san?"

"... I don't know why it's limited to Mamiya-san, but it's okay. It was you who decided not to say it, and Mamiya-san who decided what you were thinking when you heard it."

Atsushi leaves the roof, leaving only "ja". Feeling that only he was spinning, Takumi was annoyed and kicked the bench.

"What is it. he!"
