Nozomi Kaminashi sighed and stretched her arms, easing her tight muscles. A quick look around the busy Keijo stadium reminded her of the lively atmosphere that she loved so much—the kind she couldn't find in her dorm room or the university cafeteria.

In the middle of the floating land, she focused on it hard, psyching herself up for the big match. The audience on either side cheered uncontrollably, just as eager as she was.

Nozomi smirked, adjusting her skimpy swimsuit, her eyes scanning the crowd for familiar faces. Among the sea of spectators, she spotted a few of her friends, their hands raised in support, and on the land with her was Sayaka Miyata, her rival and best friend. Sayaka, with her shoulder-length white hair and small breasts, always had a calm demeanor, unlike Nozomi's energetic and lively personality. Yet, when it came to Keijo, they were both fierce competitors.

"Alright, ladies!" The referee's voice boomed over the speaker, silencing the crowd. "Welcome, everyone, to yet another thrilling match of Keijo! Today, we have two of our most formidable players facing off. On the left, a force to be reckoned with, the powerhouse with a ponytail, Nozomi Kaminashi!"

Nozomi grinned and waved at the cheering crowd, her navy blue eyes sparkling with excitement. She loved the adrenaline rush, the thunderous applause, and the electrifying atmosphere. It was her playground, her kingdom. Nozomi reveled in it, her long, dark blue hair swaying in the breeze, tied back with a white ribbon. She turned to look at Sayaka, who stood poised and ready, her blue eyes reflecting the determination that burned within them both.

"On the right, the icy beauty, the strategic judo/keijo player, Sayaka Miyata!" the referee announced, and the crowd cheered in response, their chants echoing through the stadium.

Sayaka bowed slightly, acknowledging the crowd.

Her focus was solely on Nozomi, her gaze never wavering. She knew every move her friend would make, just as Nozomi knew hers. Years of friendship and rivalry had honed their skills, making them equals on the Keijo stage.

The referee continued, "Remember, ladies, no hands, no feet! Butt and breasts only! Let's make this a match to remember!"

Nozomi and Sayaka nodded, their eyes locked. The tension was palpable, the air thick with anticipation. The referee's whistle pierced the silence, signaling the start of the match.

The two launched themselves toward each other, both spinning their bodies and slamming their butts together upon reaching the center of the land.

Sayaka let out a grunt as Nozomi's powerful butt attack took its toll on her, but she quickly retaliated with a Butt Gatling move that pushed Nozomi away.

"Nice one, Miyata!" Nozomi called out, laughing as she recovered.

"You're not pulling any punches today, huh?"

Sayaka smirked, "Why should I? You've been asking for a challenge."

"Well, you've got one," Nozomi retorted, her eyes gleaming with determination as she prepared her next move.

The match continued back and forth, each competitor demonstrating their unique style and skill. Nozomi's powerful and acrobatic moves clashed with Sayaka's strategic and precise ones. The crowd watched in awe, their cheers and chants filling the stadium.

Nozomi and Sayaka's bodies glistened with sweat under the bright stage lights, their breath coming in ragged gasps. Despite the exhaustion, neither showed any signs of backing down.

Nozomi, with a grin, decided to change her strategy. She spun around, her ponytail whipping through the air, and launched herself into a daring flip. Her butt came crashing down towards of getting scared, Sayaka used her special move called W-Acceleration. She pulled up her swimsuit to reduce the pressure on her backside, making it cover less area. This helped relieve the tightness of the swimsuit, and allowed Sayaka to move at super speed.

She darted out of the way just in time, avoiding Nozomi's powerful butt slam. The crowd gasped, then erupted into cheers, impressed by Sayaka's quick thinking.

Nozomi hit the water with a splash, her face breaking the surface with a grin. "Damn, Miyata! You're getting faster!"

Sayaka, still in W-Acceleration mode, rushed towards Nozomi. "You're not the only one who's been training, Nozomi!"

She leaped, her butt aimed at Nozomi's head. Nozomi, however, wasn't taken by did several flips and spins in the air to gather energy, then jumped back and used it for a powerful attack with her backside.

"Butt Cannon!" Nozomi she yelled, her voice echoing across the stadium. The crowd held their breath as Nozomi's powerful attack met Sayaka's. The impact sent shockwaves through the water, creating a massive splash that drenched the front row of spectators. They cheered in delight, wiping the water from their faces.

Sayaka, caught off guard by the sheer force of Nozomi's attack, was thrown backwards. She managed to keep her balance, but only just. "You're getting stronger, Nozomi," she admitted, panting. "I didn't expect such a powerful counterattack."

Nozomi grinned. "I'm full of surprises, Miyata. You know that."

Sayaka nodded, a smirk playing on her lips. "Indeed, you are. But don't think you've won just yet."

Sayaka's voice was filled with determination, her eyes narrowing as she prepared for her next attack.

Nozomi laughed, "Wouldn't dream of it, Miyata. I know you've got more tricks up your sleeve."

The match continued, with Nozomi and Sayaka trading blows, each trying to outdo the other. The crowd was on their feet, their cheers growing louder with each passing moment. The stadium was alive with energy, the air electric with tension.

Suddenly, without warning, the moment their butts made contact again, both Nozomi and Sayaka felt a strange sensation in their rumps. They froze, their eyes widening in surprise.

Nozomi looked at Sayaka, and Sayaka looked back at her, both trying to comprehend what had just happened. The crowd's cheers faded into the background as they focused on the peculiar feeling in their butts.

"Uh, Sayaka... did you feel that too?" Nozomi asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Sayaka nodded, her brows furrowed. "It was like... electricity flowed through your butt and mind..." she commented.

"But how? That's impossible, right?"

Nozomi bit her lip, her mind racing. "I don't know. But I think we should find out."

They both looked around cautiously, ensuring no one else had noticed their strange reaction. The crowd was still cheering, oblivious to the peculiar event that had just occurred.

Nozomi leaned in closer to Sayaka, her voice low. "Meet me at the training facility after the match. We need to talk about this."

Sayaka nodded, her expression serious. "Alright. But let's finish this match first."

"Right! Don't worry. I won't go easy on you just because we've got some weird butt stuff happening." Nozomi winked at Sayaka, trying to lighten the mood.

Sayaka chuckled, "I wouldn't expect anything less from you."

The two friends refocused on the match, their competitive spirits reignited. They launched back into action, their bodies moving with grace and precision. The crowd, unaware of the strange occurrence, was enthralled by the display of skill and athleticism.

Nozomi and Sayaka's match had reached its climax, each of them pushing their limits to outdo the other. The stadium buzzed with excitement, the air thick with anticipation.

"Alright, let's end this, Miyata!" Nozomi called out, her voice resonating across the water. She crouched low, her muscles taut, ready to spring into action.

Sayaka smirked, her eyes gleaming with determination. "You're on, Kaminashi!"

Nozomi launched herself high into the air, her body twisting and turning in a series of acrobatic flips.

The crowd gasped, their eyes following her every move. She was like a ballet dancer, a gymnast, and a warrior all rolled into one, her powerful butt leading the charge.

Sayaka watched, her breath caught in her throat. She knew Nozomi's next move would be a devastating one. She couldn't afford to be caught off guard. With a deep breath, she activated her W-Acceleration, her body blurring as she moved at super speed.

Before their butts could make contact though, something even stranger than before happened. No matter how hard they tried, no matter how much they struggled, their butts wouldn't connect. They grit their teeth and groaned as they strained themselves trying to touch but nothing happened.

"H-Hey...! What's going on...? Why can't I...?" Nozomi asked, speaking through her clenched teeth. "It's like your butt's... repelling mine...! Miyata! Are you...?"

"No. This isn't me. Yours is doing the same to mine. It's like when two magnets with the same pole push away from each other." Sayaka commented. "This is... bizarre. I've never heard of anything like this happening in Keijo."

Nozomi, looked at her friend, her brow furrowed. "Me neither. But we're not gonna stay like this, are we?"

"We won't. Eventually the repelling force will become too strong, and then..." Sayaka began before the unthinkable happened. Their butts, started to jiggle and shake, pushing them apart with an unseen force. Both Nozomi and Sayaka yelped in surprise, their eyes wide with disbelief and began to cry out in alarm as some kind of invisible force was trying to push them both off the land

"What the hell?! Something's pushing me! And my but is tingling and... Wait! My butt! My butt's doing this! My butt's moving on its own!" Nozomi exclaimed, trying to regain control of her body, but to no avail.

Sayaka, equally shocked, struggled to keep herself from falling while realizing the exact same thing.

"My butt... it's... it's almost like it's alive!" she cried out, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Even after a great effort, the force pushing both girls finally managed to knock them both off the land at the same time, splashing into the water below.

The crowd gasped, their cheers falling silent.

On the screen, Sayaka and Nozomi's pictures fell down.

"Sayaka Miyata and Nozomi Kaminashi have fallen into the water at the same time! Loser!" The announcer declared.

"It seems our match has ended in a tie! Ladies and gentlemen, let's give it up for both Nozomi Kaminashi and Sayaka Miyata! What a spectacle they've put on for us today!"

The crowd erupted into cheers once more, their initial shock replaced by excitement and admiration for the unusual finish. Nozomi and Sayaka, however, were too preoccupied with their strange predicament to appreciate the ovation.

They surfaced from the water, gasping for air before swimming over to the edge of the pool. They pulled themselves out partially, their upper bodies resting on the floorwhile their backsides were sticking out of the water.

Nozomi and Sayaka looked at each other, bewilderment etched on their faces. They couldn't believe what had just happened. Their butts themselves had pushed them off the platform, almost like they had minds of their own.

"Miyata. What the hell just happened?" Nozomi asked, still trying to process the surreal events that had unfolded.

Sayaka shook her head, her white hair clinging to her face. "I don't know, Nozomi. I don't..."

"Perhaps we can explain things." A voice from behind them suddenly said.

Nozomi and Sayaka whipped their heads around, their eyes searching for the source of the mysterious voice. To their surprise, when the voice spoke again, Nozomi's partially emerged butt started glowing.

It pulsed with a soft, ethereal light, the same hue as Nozomi's navy blue eyes.

"Hi, I'm Natsume!" The voice, one that was apparently coming from Nozomi's butt, said.

"And I'm Yuzu."

The second voice, which belonged to Sayaka's butt, chimed in. It too glowed softly, matching Sayaka's blue eyes.

Nozomi and Sayaka stared at their respective butts in disbelief, their jaws agape. They were at a loss for words, unable to comprehend the bizarre situation they found themselves in.

"Wait a minute," Nozomi finally managed to say, her voice barely above a whisper. "Are you... are you saying that you two are... alive?"

Natsume, Nozomi's butt, chuckled. "Well, sorta. I mean, you're alive, which means we're alive."

"Think of us as extra souls, ones living inside of your butts." Yuzu explained. "We're connected to you, but we have our own consciousness. We can communicate with you, and sometimes, like today, we can even control your movements."

Nozomi and Sayaka slowly turned away from their butts and towards each other with blank, round eyes, their expressions frozen as they attempted to articulate words. Instead, their mouths hung open, releasing elongated, haunting sounds that filled the silence.

Before long, both of them screamed in shock as loud as they could, and their cries echoed throughout the entire stadium.
