CHAPTER II: THOUGHTS OF A MANAGERESS
Ayako overhears Yasuda's comment. –Thinking about Ayako again.- She tucks a curl behind her ear and smiles. –Really,now!-
"Really, now?" a voice inside her speaks up. "Is that why you're getting the jitters lately?"
She proceeds to review the team's practice scores. White team-25, Red team-24. Just a point difference.
"With Ryota sweeping the most points for the Red team," she whispers with delight. –For a point guard, he sure is something. He should be the next captain.-
"And you will still be the manageress," the voice pipes up. "The team will be your conjugal property then, so to speak."
She leans back. "Yes," she agrees aloud. "That would be really fun. And special."
"Special what?"
Ayako jumps up to see a sly-looking Kakuta. Obviously, he looks intrigued.
"Nothing. Just the upcoming game, that's all." Ayako about-faces on a still-puzzled Kakuta.
"Time's up. Let's resume the game. Iku so!"
