As Always SAKI is Ritz Property

…

Teru POV

This day, the National team final match, really a roller coaster ride. The adrenaline that coursing through our vein because of the up and down of the match still pumping violently. But to think the high will crash in the end.

Well it's not that we couldn't accept the defeat. After all we also lost in semi final. At the very least my team and I already sort of prepared our self, especially since I know our captain match will met her. But still…..

When we enter the venue that had decided our championship fate, to start with the post end greeting game,I really can't think of anything how will I face her, I dread the fact that my mind went blank every time I face her.

After we just crossed the door,We heard the excited voice of the new team champion. "Huffft," Steeling myself, I prepared myself for the intensity of the eyes that will follow me, that eyes!. But nothing, even after we truly enter the room, the dread that I have been preparing my self to face never came, not even a glance.

My eyes, my face, my body that has been for so long always tried to avoid meeting her, unconsciously tried to glance her way. Is not that I am curious about her or anything. Its just that, its all about human reflex, whenever something that follow it suddenly vanish, it will unconsciously tried to find the reason why. Its just human nature you know.

When I see her from the corner of my eyes, she is clinging into that president of hers, so happily and that president of hers proudly pat her head.

"We won Hisa-oneechan,"she said while clinging into her president arm, and cuddling her head into her chest.

"Yup," she answer proudly, not forgetting to pat her head dotingly," You did great Saki. I'm so proud of you"

What? My body froze, did my ear just doing a trick on me. What in the world is that?

Numbly I tried avoiding that unnecessary thing. It will be unbecoming for us to shout at the new team champion. After all we have dignity to protect, we are not such a sore loser, but my mind no matter how hard I tried still wander back to that scene. Well it's because it's human nature you know, reflex reflex.

"Hmm, don't tell me, don't tell me," I wonder, "Ahh, I see, Is she maybe have an inclination into that side?", Well I am an open mind kind of person I can accept all kind of people nature, after all there is a high possibility those nature is what they are born into, or their environment caused them to be. "But, isn't their play is a bit, hmm well ….. you know, bandage and all, or is it their team weird habit again,Penguin, hero manteaus, and now…. head bandage?"

Oh well, thanks for the amusement they have provided me, my mind wander everywhere, I don't even know that post end greeting game already at its end. You can't fault me, it's because lately there is nothing new in the light novel, manga, anime, everything have the common theme isekai, to the point I this bookworm even start to feel bored. Sometime, looking back at classic theme it's a refresh into the mind, he hehe Yuri Onee-sama theme, cough cough. Though probably since they don't go into a a private catholic school or a school for the privilege, calling onee-sama is a bit awkward, he he, that's why she called her president Onee-chan.

Letting my body doing it's job in following my teammate going outside the venue. I feel the unusual presence that should not be here, my mom. It's unusual for her to attend my match, especially since she has work in Norway, just when did she return to Japan, why didn't she call me.

Following the presence into huh? Kiyosumi waiting room, I feel my mom presence the strongest. There in front of their room my mom in all her glory, with her business suit in disarray, like she is in a rush, she stood with my dad? Unbelievable.

Looking closely it look like they are waiting for someone, that person probably, cause I saw my mom hesitate a bit when that person approach her. I don't know why, but probably she sense my presence, suddenly she lifted her head and lift her pointer finger and press it into her lips.

"Huh," I replied dumbfoundedly.

But suddenly I heard that Kiyosumi president said softly like trying to coax a frightened kid, "It's Okay Saki, don't be afraid, this is mom remember",

"Yup Saki, come here," even my dad also trying to coax her. "What the? Are they? hmm hmm! he he probably probably, calm down me", maybe they are already in the stage to meet the parent, that may be, no other reason, so that's probably why mom tried to silent me. Since my turbulent relationship with that person, she doesn't want me to make this even more difficult for that person since probably that person maybe afraid my mom will hate her choice.

It's not that I worry or anything about that person, after all I just wonder why would my mom rushing her from her important business in Norway, just to meet her 15 years old daughter's partner, after all that partner it's not a boy, so it's impossible the cause it's because of something urgent isn't it. Well even when I think about it, my eyes still look into her stomach and her partner, nope nope it's still as flat as the last time I saw them before semi final in the hall way, even when I avoid my gaze at that time, I'm sure of that.

I really don't know anymore, my body still tried to approach them, even when my mind said no. Fortunately Sumire as perspective as ever, seem to know the struggle between my body-instinct and my mind, so she drag me far from there. I'm glad, really glad, but why did my eyes grow hot?

There you have guys, sorry it took so long. Hope after this I can update regularly.
