Gouenji Shuuya's POV
We, Kazemaru and I, finally reached school with me killing him. Although he did stopped talking, he still has that annoying grin plastered on his face.
"Would you stop that?" I asked, not really caring if I sounded annoyed 'cause I am.
"Stop what?" He replied happily.
"That grin you overly gender bent air head." I replied while focusing on our path.
I saw him puff his cheek all girly like and opened his mouth to reply only to be stopped by a group of screaming fangirls.
"Kyaaaa~ " They squealed.
We were going to make a break for it but they were like piranhas who just smelled their next victim. I just grinned at the thought that I could prove to Kazemaru that I'm much of a chic magnet like Fubuki.
"Good Mo-" I got cut off and was thrown aside by the vicious fangirls. I just stood there with my jaw wide open as I looked at Kazemaru being surrounded by female of all ages.
"Kazemaru-kun!"
"Kyaaa! "
"He smells like lavender!"
"I just touched his hair!"
"Kazemaru-kun, marry me!"
I just stood there and listened to all of these comments and more. When they finally left, Kazemaru was standing there with gifts more than he could carry, and a face full of kissmarks except his lips which I assumed was something he struggled protecting.
"Nice look." I teased.
"I don't see fangirls encircling and showering with their love." He shot back while I kept quiet, not knowing how to counter what he said.
"Score 1 for the overly gender bend air head and 0 for the self-proclaimed 'chic magnet' flame brain." He announced happily.
"Shut up." I replied and sprinted to the locker room to get ready for morning practice.
Kazemaru was having difficulties running with all those gifts and trying to hide his embarrassment given by the kissmarks.
Time skip (middle of morning practice)
Morning practice was the usual. 5 laps around the field, individual practice, and helping the other members complete their new hissatsu techniques. It may sound easy, but in reality, it's not. The temperature is high this morning and I'm wet, sweaty wet. We were having our morning break which means practice is nearly over.
"Everyone gather." Coach Kuduo announced.
It's rather weird for him to gather us when practice isn't over yet.
'Maybe he'll announce an early dismissal.' I thought longingly.
He scanned us, making sure everyone was here, except for Hiroto, who apparently skipped morning practice, but was said to have told coach beforehand.
"Starting today, we have a new manager for the team." He announced with a dead serious expression. (which he kind of wear everytime)
Everyone, except our managers (Aki, Natsumi, Haruna, and Fuyuka), seemed to be shocked.
"But coach, we already have 4 managers, I think 4 is enough and apis already a little too many." Endou stated.
"She is given recommendation by someone we cannot ignore. In addition, she will also be a part of the reserve team like Megane." Coach said while gives off a depressing aura.
"She?" Tsunami asked in confusion.
"Yes, she unless you have something agaisnt women playing soccer, I'll make sure to tell Touko and Rika." Couch replied.
"No, I didn't mean it like that. Please don't tell either of them." Tsunami begged envisioning himself getting hit by Touko's The Tower and Rika pummeling him.
"If there no more concerns, let me introduce your new manager." He said as he looked behind him, revealing a woman, wearing an oversize t-shirt, mini-shorts, and sneakers, holding an umbrella in such a way that we couldn't see her face.
She didn't seem to walk all that girl, however, she was emitting a feminine aura. When she was finally in front of us, she closed her umbrella, showing her face. I stood there mesmerized, but for some reason, anger was starting to rush in.
"Hello, I'm [f/n] [l/n] and I'll be your new manager as of today until the end of the year." She said cheerfully, then it hit me.
"YOU!" I screamed in anger while pointing at her. I couldn't care less if the rest of the team thought I lost it, I just needed to let that anger go.
She looked at me innocently with a mischievous smirk.
"Yes, me. You got any problem with that Ice queen." She said mockingly while the rest of the members went 'oooooohhh'
"You did not just call me ice queen." I threateningly said.
"Either you're deaf or a retard 'cause I'm pretty sure I just did." She replied.
"I cannot accept this lame excuse of a female to be a manager, much more a member of the team." I said beggingly.
The coach just looked at her, analyzing her to see if I'm right or wrong. I glared at her while she only looked at me blankly.
"Do you play soccer?" Coach asked as she looked at him seriously.
"I currently have no experience or knowledge in soccer." She replied confidently.
"And you expect to be a manager and a member of the team." I said as I rolled my eyes, wearing my victory smile.
"As a manager, I am to give physical and emotional support for the team, and I am to know the team's match schedules and to research their opponent before the match. I can cook very well, too, just so you know. So far, I don't understand how can I fail at that job." She explained while the other managers just nodded their heads in agreement as I felt my face slowly burning.
"As a member of the team, as far as I can remember, Tobitaka-san was a beginner in soccer when he first joined in. Like me, he had no experience in soccer. He was taught by Coach Hibiki amd was supported by Endou and the rest of the team. I don't understand why I can't become a member of the soccer club when I am in the same position of Tobitaka-san back then. And please, don't give me that bullshit that it's because I'm a girl and you found me unconscious at the park begging for help. In my previous school, I was a part of both the basketball and volleyball team, I occasionally played tennis, I also happemed to be one of the fastest runner in my batch-boys included, and a dancer." She continued while the rest of us was speechless.
I really hate to admit it but she was right.
"Wait, Gouenji-sempai found you unconscious at the park?" Toramaru asked, his face visibly red.
Upon hearing that, everyone else except for coach and [f/n] were blushing.
"Oi! Gouenji, you sly dog." Tsunami said as he tackled me and started messing my hair.
Reader's POV
I'm pissed off. Sure, I didn't come here to keep having cat fights with Gouenji (I actually would rather be really close to him), but that lame tsundare isn't making things easy.
I smirk at Tsunami's comment.
'I don't see anything wrong with flirting with the guys I'm going to manage, but then i have to limit myself to my favorjtes only. Geehee' I thought.
"Wha? Nothing of some sort happened. I just brought him to my dad because he's a doctor and I can't possibly carry her all the way to the hospital. She is heavy." He replied, face still red but now, he has a smug look on his face, thinking he won.
"True but in the end, I end up living with you~ " I said in a flirty way.
"Ehhhhhhhhh?!" Everyone shouted except Gouenji, whose jaw just dropped, and coach who's amused yet he expertly hides it.
Coach Kuduo clapped his hands trying to get the teams attention once more. Everyone looked at the coach, silent but their faces still red (Gouenji's red face was the brightest and definitely the most priceless).
"Uhhmm, [f/n]-san, why is being a dancer advantageous in becoming a soccer player?" Fubuki asked.
'HOLY SHIT! FUBUKI SHIROU! YOU ARE THE SINGLE MOST ANGEL-LIKE BEING I HAVE LAID MY EYES UPON! HOW CAN YOU BE THAT HOT, CUTE , AND INNOCENT LOOKING AT THE SAME TIME?!' I screamed in my head while staring at him directly, trying to not drool jn his presence.
"Being a dancer means I'm quite flexible." I said in starting with an innocent voice, ending in most seductive tone I know while giving him a wink.
I swear I saw him blush before looking away to hide it.
'Don't you fail me now, body. YOU MUST NOT SQUEAL OR FAN GIRL OR DIE.' I yelled at myself.
Coach Kuduo cleared his throat to get our attention once again. He seemed to have felt the need to chaan the subject.
"Maybe you should prove yourself to them, [f/n]." He said while I gave him a small nod and grabbed a soccer ball.
"I don't know how to dribble a soccer ball yet so I'm going to use my hand. Just try to retrieve this ball from me. No pushing, tickling, perverted stuff, or other actions that could be mentioned as cheating or else you'll experience how experienced I am in wrestling, and boxing. Simple enough right?" I explained.
"So how does that involve soccer?" Midorikawa asked.
"If you can't steal this ball using your hands, what more with your feet?" I said while he gave me a determined look.
"1 minute each. Who wants to go first?" I asked. Midorikawa was the first to raise his hand.
"I'm shocked. I could've sworn I thought ice queen there would volunteer first. Anyway, line up so we don't waste time." I commanded.
Kazemaru's POV
I have to say that this chic is really something. One after another the guys would fall in defeat. No one was able to even touch the ball. It's amazing how fluid like her body is, and that amazing ball control with her hands. I'm getting a little dizzy just watching her and my teammates fight for the ball. She was using excellent feints and whenever someone (Kidou and Fudou) would correctly calculate her feints, she would quickly change movement in an instant. She looks like she's performing a beautiful dance that no one could keep up.
Gouenji seemed pissed off about losing yet he seemed to have given her some of his difficult earned respect. I mean who wouldn't?! The girl had defeated most of the members of the team. We were down to the last two members, Fubuki and I. The team purposely put us at the last since we're the fastest members of the team. Fubuki was up next. I could see traces of pink on his cheeks. Her comment back then must have been haunting him.
Fubuki was actually doing an amazing job. Unlike me who focuses on speed, Fubuki was both speed and flexibility. The man can move the way he likes. The two seems to be having a quiet conversation and even exchanges smiles, but for some reason he just stopped and gave up. I looked at him and his face was red.
He walked towards me as he wiped his sweat.
"I'm sorry Kazemaru-kun, but I just can't continue." Fubuki said while giving me a weak smile.
"It's ok, dude. You were actually the closest to actually kept up with her movements. The sun must be getting to you. Your face is so red so do me a favor and go cool yourself." I said with a laugh.
'It's finally my turn.' I thought as I walked towards her.
Fubuki's POV
I walked towards the tree to shade myself from the heat. Sure it's hot, but that's not the real reason why my face is red.
Flashback
[f/n] and I were already battling. She was definitely flexible, that I have to confess. We were already in the 30 second mark when I accidentally brushed my hand on her breast (enough for me to realize what my hand just touched) when I reached out to try and touch the ball. When I realized what just happened, I tried to get near her to apologize, but instead she got close to me.
"That's not fair Fubuki-kun." She said softly and seductively. I froze for a second and was about to apologize when her hand "accidentally" brushed against me. Me as in the me down there.
"Now we're even" She said as she went back to defending the ball.
I just froze or rather, I can't move. I'm a healthy 18 year old male, what do you think happened?!
I quickly surrendered and looked at everyone to see if they noticed what just happened, luckily no one noticed, not even the coach who was talking to his daughter that time.
Kazemaru-kun tried to cheer me up and I did my best so that he wouldn't suspicious.
End of flashback
'I don't think I would last long if she became our manager, but why am I so thrilled?' I thought as I rested my right hand on my chest only to feel the fast beating of my heart.
'She's the first girl to make me feel like this.' I thought but quickly brushed it away, thinking it's probably just because of what happened and because I'm a guy.
I watched Kazemaru-kun as he struggled to get the ball from [f/n] who seemed to be enjoying defeating all of us.
Time skip - End of morning practice
Reader's POV
In the end, no one was able to get the ball from me. Oh and there was the thing with Fubuki-kun that I'm still debating whether or not should I regret what I did.
The coach had finalized that I stay and become a member of the team which I gladly accepted. The boys were going to the locker room and do their guy stuff while the managers were helping with cleaning up.
"Hey [f/n], you did really great today." Aki said with a smile while the rest gave a smild of agreement.
"It's about time someone was able to stood up to those guys." Natsumi added.
"It does seem like we have spoiled them quite a lot. thank you for maintaining the balance." Fuyuka said while picking up the ball in front of her.
"But you know, it's the first time I heard Gouenji-kun talk that much." Haruna said suspiciously.
The rest of the girls eyed me like wolves who just found their prey.
"Spill it sister. What's with you and Gouenji?" Haruna said as she stood next to me, acting like a true reporter looking for the next scoop.
I playfully pushed her away while laughing awkwardly.
"Nothing. I swear. Nothing is going on between me and that ice queen." I announced.
"But do you like anyone in the team?" Fuyuka asked innocently, and the wolf stares are back.
"Don't worry, [f/n]. We managers stick together, no secret gets loose in our sisterhood." Aki explained and with that, I sighed in defeated as I sat on the bench. The rest of the girls quickly sat beside me waiting for my answer.
"Fine. No, there really is nothing going on between me and Gouenji. Yes, I have like some members in the team." I answered while feelung my cheeks heat up.
"Kyaaaa~" The girls squeaked.
"Who?" Haruna eagerly asked.
"It's -"
"Oh and it'd better be not my brother, Kidou Yuuto. The one with the cape and googles" Haruna said in an overly protective tone.
"Don't worry. I won't steal your brother. I actually like Fubuki-kun, Kazemaru-kun, as you guys have guessed, I also like Gouenji-kun, and Kiyama-kun." I confessed.
"Ehh? So you already know the members of the team?" Aki asked.
"Yeah, sorry for not telling you earlier. I'm actually a fan." I replied.
"No, it's ok. So you like Gouenji. Isn't it awkward to like him while living in his place?" Natsumi asked.
"Well, he seriously annoys the daylight out of me so I don't think there'll be any process whatsoever." I answered.
"There's still Fubuki-kun though." Fuyuka added.
"Nope." Haruna said while forming an x using her arms.
"Fubuki Shirou has a natural affect on girls. Girls would swoon at the sight of him, but he's impossible. I don't think the boy even has plans on getting married!" Haruna explained.
"Haruna does have a point. I don't think Fubuki-kun has an intention of dating anyone." Aki said.
"Ahhh... no. It's just a crush guys. I don't plan on dating anyone on my stay here." I quickly said.
As much as I would love to be their girlfriend, I don't want to be selfish. Dating them then dying is not exactly the best love story anyone would want, right?
"Why?" Fuyaka asked.
"Now that you mentioned it, the recommendation letter said that you'll be a part of the team until the end of the year. Are you going somewhere?" Natsumi asked as I stared at the floor.
Even for a short moment here, I already feel sad. I'm already overjoyed. I have a new caring family (let's include Gouenji), and new friends. It's sad realizing that you'll never see them again.
"I have to go overseas. It's something I have planned before." I said with a fake smile.
"That's too bad." Aki said.
"But all the more reason why you should spend your days here the happiest way possible." Fuyaka shared.
"I'd rather not leave anyone behind. I don't do well in long distance relationships." I replied.
"You should try it first. Ichinose and I thought that way first but here we are, still going strong." Aki said happily.
I was shocked. How would I know Aki ended up with Ichinose? But what more is that I realized that these girls will do everything to hook me up with either one of the names I spoke off. I sighed while looking at them with sad eyes.
"This sisterhood promises to not leak information right?" I asked seriously while all of them nodded, staring at me, waiting for my next words.
I sighed once more then told them about the guardian, selling my life, crossing dimensions and reaching here. By the end of my story, they all looked sad.
"I think I understand now. It's a different case." Aki said sadly while Haruna patted her on the shoulder.
"i don't think so. 6 months is a short time. If you came into this world to find happiness, I don't thinking holding back on dating is a way of achieving happiness." Fuyuka said. I swear that this girl would become an awesome philosopher one day.
"True. If you dated someone who was able to make you really happy enough for you to show no regrets of selling your lifetime, then died by the end of the year, we'll tell the guy personally that it was our fault and that at least he was able to become your everything." Natsumi added while the rest of the girls smiled in agreement.
"Fine." I said in defeat.
The rest of the girls started jumping up and down, congratulating each other for being able to convince me.
"But you guys are not hooking me up with anybody. I would like to do it on my own." I stated only to be replied with hugs.
