"Good work, everyone. This is the end of the final exam. The only event this semester is the ball game. I'd like to use this HR time to decide the teams. Chairperson, come forward and decide."
Mashima-sensei, our homeroom teacher, instructed us.
In the classroom after the test, some students are smiling, some are in despair, all are happy and sad about how well they did on the test, but all seem to be equally liberated for now. There was an air of relaxation in the air.
Mashima-sensei leaves the students to their own devices when making decisions like this. She only occasionally interferes.
The chairperson of the committee stepped forward, biting her tongue and saying, "Hiya Hiyai!"
With a practiced hand, the chairperson began to write the details of the team formation on the blackboard.
The boys' baseball team was A only.
The girls' volleyball team will have two teams, A and B.
There will be a tournament regardless of grade.
Baseball is a time-consuming game, so there is a special rule that the game ends after five innings. Cold games are also applied. The school wants to play as many games as possible.
In this respect, baseball and soccer, which take more time but can be played by a large number of people, are probably just right.
The ground is large enough to hold two games at the same time. There aren't too many classes, so it'll be over soon.
As for the boys, there is nothing to decide, they are all on the same team.
All they have to do is decide the defensive positions and the order of play.
As I was thinking about this, the chairperson nominated Yamada and asked him to organize the teams.
I see, Yamada is the only one in this class who is on the baseball team. Yamada has been watching the boys' moves during gym class, so he should be able to divide them appropriately.
Anri and I had never been good at group selection.
It reminded us of bad memories from the past. But this time, I don't feel anything that bad.
...... If I can't make it to the baseball game, I can go to the gym where Anri is.
Anri whispered to me.
"...... If I can't make it to the volleyball game, I'll go see you, Makoto."
She was thinking the same thing as me. I nodded my head, feeling a little tickled.
I hope my face doesn't turn red.
So, I went with the flow and thought about the plot for the next post.
And this morning, Saeko-san sent me an email with instructions for proofreading. I haven't checked the attached file yet, but I'll check it as soon as I get home and beat the deadline.
In front of me, Yamada and the others were making a lot of noise.
I casually looked at the blackboard.
It seems that I've been placed as an alternate, as I expected. ......, but it was written in a slightly worrying way.
For some reason, my name was boldly circled, and I was labeled as a back-up.
...... No, I have no baseball experience, okay? Oh, I'll tell Yamada that later. ......
Anri makes a bare voice in the seat next to me.
