It had only been twenty minutes into the game when the two arrived.
The stadium was packed with people screaming and cheering for their respective teams. It almost seemed like the whole world had gone to watch. Sano and Mizuki were lucky enough to be able to squeeze in and find vacant seats.
"Gah! This is so exciting!" Mizuki enthusiastically said as she sat down and started putting on the two giant hands Sano bought her.
As soon as she got both her hands in, Mizuki stood up without hesitation even before Sano could give her a reply and started yelling.
"Go Osaka high! Go!" she cheered as she flailed her foam-covered hands around.
Sano rolled his eyes and wondered if he should let someone else take her seat since he assumed that she wouldn't be using it until the game ended. He honestly wasn't expecting her to stay still in her seat for the whole duration of the game and this wasn't far from what he had imagined she would do.
Mizuki swung her big hands left and right, not noticing the people she "slapped" with them.
"Hey! Watch it!" a man suddenly shouted, causing Mizuki to turn her head… and hit another guy on the head.
"What the!?" another guy annoyingly said.
Sano, feeling embarrassed for his companion's actions, covered his face with his hand and shook his head.
"God, help me," he said in a low voice.
"Gomen!" Mizuki apologized as she bowed in embarrassment and sat back down. She was too humiliated to look at Sano so she just sat there, as quietly and as still as possible.
A few minutes later, a player from Osaka high scored a goal that got the crowd wild.
Sano could tell that Mizuki was fighting the urge to stand up and go crazy as well. He was right. She was, indeed, telling herself to stay put and behave… until Sano nudged her.
"What are you still sitting down for?" he asked her. "Aren't you supposed to be cheering for Nakatsu?"
Mizuki just sat still, not knowing what exactly he wanted her to do. She, of course, knew that standing up and cheering would mean that she'd get the guys behind her angry again.
Knowing that Mizuki was still in a sulky mood, Sano let out an exaggerated sigh and said, "Look, if you're not gonna do anything other than sit down and sulk, then we might as well leave."
"What!? No way! We can't leave now! Osaka's leading by one point! And besides, we need to find out who'll win," she argued.
"Okay," he said, half amused. "Then why don't you go on ahead and show me how much you really want to stay."
"What!?" she said, then paused, not knowing what else to say. "Fine!" she said as she stood up and started cheering.
Feeling his accomplishment sink in, Sano sighed and let out a visible smile.
