Mine (Book 3: Tsurugi Kyousuke x OC Reader)

Chapter 9 "lies"

Minaho's POV

We're now on resting...

"Don't you find it rather strange that he would make amazing facilities like that just for soccer?" I asked

"I estimate the expenses it took to make them to be atleast several hundred million. Definitely not a normal sum of money"manabe kun said

"Well there's no harm, I do wonder why he would go so far, but we've gotten more powerful because of it. Maybe we might even win the championship!" Sakura san said "huh??"

"Huh? The championship?" I asked as Sakura, Matatagi, and Tetsukado nodded

"H-Hold on!

Are you all really thinking about doing this up to the championship?" I asked

"Do yo kotoda?" Tetsukado asked

"Because, there was nothing about winning the championship in our contract" i explained

"Uh!?" They were all startled as they just noticed..

"Now that you mention it, you have a point.

The only condition for us is to participate."

"The contract mentions nothing about the championship." I added

"Which means, if we quit now, we would still be fulfilling our contract.." manabe kun said

"Should I go confirm that?" I asked

"No, there's no need.

Even if I'm not obliged to, I'm staying" tetsukado said

"Uh??" We wondered

"I want to try facing the fierce emotions that are inside of me

And right now, I think that's soccer." Tetsukado said

"Fierce emotions.." sakura trailed "yeah.. maybe you're right!"

"if you all want to stay, then I will too." Matatagi said

"Me too, I guess" kusaka said

"Ibuki, omaiwa?(and you?)" Tetsukado asked

"I'm staying, ofcourse. I don't accpet the way I currently am right now" ibuki said

"I don't understand. What's most important here is getting what we want from our contract, not win the championship" manabe kun said as we looked at each other and looked away angrily at the same time

"What about you, Konoha?" Sakura asked

"I...

---"

"Come on, speak more clearly!" Sakura said

"G-Gomenasai..." morimura apologized

"Morimu---" kusaka was about to call

"Minna!

Your opponent has been decided for the semifinals!

It's Thailand's team, Mach Tiger. They made a complete victory over Qatar's Desert Lion at 5-0!" Aoi announced

"Eh??"

Time skip
Tetsukado's POV
We watched the match

"5-0?

But desert Lion isn't a weak team..."

"Yes. Infact, in the pre-game evalutaion, Desert Lion had a definite overwhelming advantage" aoi said
