Part One: Suzuna's Plan

Suzuna has always been curious. Her curiosity just recently peaked upon meeting her absolutely shy friend, Sena. The girl with the long brown hair and chocolate-colored eyes, despite being close to Suzuna, has never spoken to her about how she felt about things, or humans even. Specifically, human sub-species called guys, boys, men-whatever you want to call them.

Sure, Sena's face is unquestionably easy to read and it's also quite easy to tell what she is feeling, like how she blushes because she felt bashful at Shin's raw and honest compliments or when her brows meet and the corners of her mouth turn into a frown when she is upset when they were about to lose at a football game.

But what Suzuna is really curious about are Sena's thoughts. Her morbid and honest thoughts about all the men around her. You know, the 'wow, he's hot' or 'eww, he's ugly' levels of honesty about the guys she battled on the football field. Which basically boils down to her being curious about who her friend likes, and who doesn't have a chance.

Suzuna is not an idiot. She could tell that a lot of men likes Sena. She could smell it. And she smirks smugly at the thought, making a list in her head.

Apparently (according to Suzuna), there are four (4) types of men surrounding her cute friend. There are: (1) Sena's genuinely good friends, (2) those who are protective and are almost like an older brother to her, (3) those who admire her for her skills and overall awesomeness, and last but not the least, (4) those who are helplessly in-love with her.

She giggles at the thought. 'Being young is nice, eh?' Wait-she's still quite young herself. What a silly girl.

Anyway, Monta, Mizumachi, Koutarou, Unsui, Ishimaru, Panther, Kisaragi (yes, you are reading correctly), Kuroki, Togano, her idiot brother Natsuhiko, and a few more insignificant bunch belong to the first category, according to her obesrvation. They are close with Sena like how Suzuna is, and treat her like how a friend normally would. Obviously, there were no feelings involved. Respect of personal space is still there, though. Suzuna doesn't know what that is, unfortunately.

Hiruma, Musashi, Kurita, Marco, Gaou, Agon (and again, yes, you are reading correctly), Habashira, and Kid belong to the second category. Some of them, like Kurita, Musashi, and Marco are all outright protective of Sena. They always take care of her like she's their daughter whether circumstances asks for it or not. The others not mentioned are more discreet, protecting Sena from the shadows. They are the scary, mafia-dad/brother types. Especially Hiruma and Agon. Suzuna realized then that Sena's so lucky. To have the top scariest people be protective of her? So damn lucky, she'd say. Just who would dare fight Gaou, or Agon, or Hiruma? The answer is painfully obvious: no one. If Suzuna's sure of anything, it's that Sena won't die by getting ambushed or attacked. She'd die of old age.

The third category includes, and are not limited to the following people: Taka, Manabu, Ootawara, Takami, Banba, Komusubi, Chuubou, Torakichi, Achilles, Heracles, Ikari, Harao, and a whole lot of people. Sena has proved to be one of the fastest and strongest running back in Japan-maybe even the world, and it's already a given that she'd gain admiration and respect from formidable people like the ones mentioned above. Need I say more?

Moving on to the most interesting category, Suzuna notices that almost all of the guys listed here are either aces of the strongest football teams in Japan, or just plainly hot, or cute, or charming or good-looking. Suzuna can't help but squeal excitedly at the thought. There's a harem of hot guys that Sena has and she doesn't even know it! Shin, Yamato, Kakei, Riku, Sakuraba, Akaba, Juumonji, and Ikkyu all belong in this category.

If Suzuna is going to be completely honest, she wants the harem route to happen. If she's going to be at least a decent friend and human being, however, she'd regretfully choose one, that's for sure. The only problem is, she can't choose between Shin, Yamato, Kakei, Akaba, and Sakuraba. Why? They're smokin' hot, she'd tell you. And they're all quite the capable men.

Riku is cute and reliable, and Ikkyu is, too. However, Suzuna worries about their descendants having short legs for eternity. Juumonji is reliable, nice and ruggedly handsome as well, but the other guys are on another level, to her, at least.

Mamori said that she supports Riku, but they both agree that they would support Sena with whoever she chooses, of course. And here's where she got curious about what Sena thinks of them, and began to formulate a plan.

To Be Continued.
