Here's the long awaited chapter where her name is revealed. Sorry it took a while. [but truth is, I just didn't want to give her a name yet, since I haven't made up my mind on what is her name…. Oh well. I wanted to give her a name that doesn't suit her. Something kinda cute? I dunno… ahahha. I just named her the first ever name I thought before I went to sleep.]
So yeah… Let the chapter begin!
CHAPTER 5- YOROSHIKU ONEGAISHIMASU.
"IT'S POSSIBLE." meganekko said with an ice cold smile.
"*sigh* If you say so…" one member said.
"LISTEN UP PLEASE. BEFORE WE START OUR PRACTICE, I WANT ALL OF YOU TO TIE YOUR SHOELACES TOGETHER." Meganekko announced.
She got confused reaction as a reply. Despite their reactions, they all did just as she said.
After that, their practice begun.
meanwhile inside the stock room
"Uwaa… look there's s tuff toy in here!" Kise reached up the shelf and took the toy. Dust scattered and they all coughed.
"Kise!" Kasamatsu screamed as he kicked Kise.
"But look, it's a little alien stuff toy." Kise said in an adorable way while hugging the toy.
"Oi Kise." Moriyama walked towards Kise.
"Finally, go and scold him too, Moriyama." Kasamatsu said.
"Can I borrow that toy?" Moriyama continued.
"Goddammit! Both of you get serious!" Kasamatsu screamed as he hit the two.
Much more commotion happened and the other members can hear them from the outside.
meanwhile, outside
"OYAA? THEY SEEM TO BE HAVING FUN THERE." Meganekko said. "THEY SHOULDN'T BE CAREFREE"
At the background, the non-regulars [whose shoelaces were tied fell like a domino].
"hmn.. maybe we should put more effort." The girl thought as she saw the members fall.
She felt her cell phone ring and she quickly picked it up.
"Hai?... ahh yes, You'll be there later, right?... Ah….. thanks…... Please tell Auntie to not be worried that much…. Mmm….. Okay. Bye." She said on the phone.
She closed her phone and looked at her watch. "This is getting exciting. I wonder what flavor of ice cream should I get?" she said to herself.
after the special training
"VERY GOOD, EVERYONE. YOU MAY NOT UNTIE YOUR SHOELACES TOGETHER." The girl with the megaphone said. She walked to the stock room and opened the door.
Inside the room were the regulars, who didn't seem to have finished cleaning up. Kise held many stuff toys that he found in the room [he look extremely happy in his chibi form with a pink background with some flowers]. "Maybe I should give one to Kurokocchi." He said to himself.
"LET'S GO. IT'S TIME TO HAVE A SHORT GAME." She said.
they all went out of the room
The non-regulars looked at the manager and asked, "are you sure we can do this?".
"OF COURSE YOU CAN. NOW LET ME PICK THE MEMBERS AND I'D EXPLAIN THE RULES."
The players for the 2 teams line face to face. Regulars vs. non-regulars. But there seems to be a problem…. All the regulars were picked, but surprisingly, for the non-regular team, the newbie players were picked.
"Oi, manager. What is this? Are you still underestimating us?" Kasamatsu asked. "The ones you picked haven't played in games yet. Are you—"
"I KNOW THAT CAPTAIN. I PICKED THEM CAREFULLY. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO DIDN'T HAVE THEIR OWN BASKETBALL STYLES. NEWLY BORN, IF I MAY PUT IT. THEY'RE EASIER TO TRAIN THAN THOSE WHO ALREADY HAD THEIR OWN STYLE." She explained to Kasamatsu. The captain just stayed quiet even though he wanted to say something, he knew that nothing would change her mind anyway.
"WELL THEN, THERE ARE ONLY THREE RULES…. ONE: TO WIN, YOU MUST GET A POINT BEFORE THE OTHER TEAM… TWO: THE REGULARS TEAM WIL BE ON DEFENSE FIRST…. THREE: DON'T HOLD BACK."
"That's it? Just one point?" Kise asked.
"YES, IKEMEN. NOW THEN LET'S START. SHALL WE?"
THE GAME BEGINS
The differences the two teams have are showing. The regulars are way taller than the others. And the ball-handling of the non-regulars aren't good enough.
Despite that, the manager seems to have a confident smile.
"REMEMBER. JUST ONE POINT." The meganekko said using her megaphone.
"The manager is right…" one player from the non-regulars said.
"it's just…." Another player continued.
"ONE POINT!" the player holding the ball screamed.
he makes a quick turn and passed by Moriyama
"He passed by Moriyama?" Kasamatsu thought.
Kasamatsu catches up and locks him
"Their movements…" Kise thought.
the ball is passed to another player
"THEY'RE FAST!" Kasamatsu thought. "THEIR FEET ARE MOVING FAST."
the Kise guards the one holding the ball
the player with ball moves fast but is then double teamed by Kise and Hayakawa
the ball is quickly passed to the player on the other side of the court
the player with ball passed by Moriyama quickly and then blocked by Kise
"THEIR RHYTHM BECAME FASTER" Kise thought again. "but they can't get pass me this time"
the ball is passed again to the other player
the player jumps high and makes a fade away shot which enters the basket
"ONE POINT. THE NON-REGULAR TEAM WINS." Meganekko announced. "TIME: 1 MINUTE AND 13 SECONDS".
All the players looked shocked. Even the winners can't believe they won. The non-regulars cheered and screamed, "YATTA~~~ THE MANAGER WAS RIGHT!"
"Manager! That was amazing! Thanks a lot~" a member said to the manager.
"How did that happen? Their movements were fast. What kind of training did she give them?" Kise said.
"That girl, she is truly scary." Kasamatsu said.
"I WANT TO BUY STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM. 30 OF THEM." Meganekko faced the regulars and gave them a smile.
"That was a quick game, manager." Coach Takeuchi appeared out of nowhere. "I have to admit, that was unexpected."
"Coach?" Kasamatsu said. "When did you get here?"
"I've been here before the game started. I arrived at the time manager told me to." He explained.
"Wait what? You mean, manager, you also knew this would happen?" Kise asked.
"I DID, IKEMEN." She replied.
"Anyway, it's time to go home now. Everyone, you are all dismissed." Coach Takeuchi said. "Manager, tomorrow prepare a new training menu." The meganekko just nodded and said, "Okay coach."
The coach left the gym and the players are all in the locker room dressing up.
after a while
Kise and the others go out of the locker room. "YAA~ This day is tiring!"
"It sure is." Moriyama said in a depressed tone. "A lot of things happened."
"Hello." The meganekko appeared behind them. Everyone was shocked. "Shall we go get ice cream now?"
"WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Kise screamed. "STOP APPEARING OUT OF—"
His sentence was cut off when he realized something. "appearing out of nowhere… blue hair… the tone of her voice…don't tell me she's…"
"CHOTTO! MANAGER!" Kise shouted. "Are you Kuro—"
"Shh.." the manager interrupted. She walked toward Kise and said in a low voice; "Ikemen, it's better to show and not to tell. For now keep it a secret." She then smiled a little.
"Where is your megaphone?" Kasamatsu asked, "Well, it's not like we want you to use it."
"It's in the stock room." She replied. "It was rather heavy so I left it there. I think I might have built up muscle when I carried it. Hora." She then held up her hands and flexed it. "Look at these guns." saying it with a straight face.
"PFFT."
"What's the matter?" she asked.
"Fuhahahhahahhahaha" everyone laughed. [except for Kise who is just staring at her]
they arrived at the convenience store
"They sell great ice cream here." Manager said.
they entered the store and came out with 30 cups of strawberry ice cream
"…29, 30. Yup just right. " the manager said.
"I don't think you can finish that manager." Kise said with an unsure face.
"Anyway, let's go home now. See ya guys~" Moriyama said.
"I'd go home too. See you guy tomorrow" Kamatsu said. The others regulars followed them.
the others then start walking away
"Ikemen, wait." Meganekko grabbed Kise's sleeve. "Don't leave yet."
"huh? Why?" Kise asked.
"Hmn? What's the matter Kise? Aren't you coming with us?" Moriyama asked.
"Ikemen still has business with me. All of you guys can go now." Manager said.
"EH?!" Kise shouted.
"Ahh… I see what's going on here…" Moriyama said.
"Yes, now if you'll excuse us." manager said.
"WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MANAGER?!" Kise shouted again.
"Ahh well, then we'll leave you two alone. Jaa ne" Kasamatsu said.. "Take care of her, Kise".
The other players then leaves.
"CHOTTO MATTE! THAT'S NOT IT— WHAT IS GOING ON?!" Kise looked flustered.
"Calm down, Ikemen." meganekko said.
"CALM DOWN?! HOW COULD I CALM DOWN?!"
She pointed at the other side of the road where a familiar shadow stands.
Kise was surprised as he saw the guy, the person he respects most.
"Yachiyo. Did you buy ice cream again?" the guy said.
"Ice cream is good, ne, Ikemen?" she then faces Kise.
"Hu-wa— KUROKOCCHI?!" Kise stuttered.
"Hmn? What's the matter? Kise-kun?" the Kuroko Tetsuya asked.
The megane girl faced Kise and said; "I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself properly."
"Kuroko Yachiyo desu. I am Tetsuya's cousin. Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu."
