The regulars of the Seirin basketball team were all very relieved when the bell went for a lunch break.

Every single one of them was practically falling asleep at their desks, with their bodies sore with muscle aches—the depressing result of playing two straight games in a row. 

The only player of the basketball team that actually managed to stay awake and still remained looking bright-eyed is only the sky-bluenette. 

The Seirin team knew that it is only because Kamiko had the advantage of already being involved in National standard games in middle school, and having the stamina and training to deal with it.

Despite that, the sky-bluenette looked tired as the bell went for a lunch break, as she munched on her medium-sized dumplings and two cups of cantons that Sayou had prepared for her. 

Kagami, who had the seat in front of her, was gobbling down about four or five deluxe-size sandwiches in front of him, much to the astonishment of several of their classmates who stared at him eating.

"You're eating more than usual," Kamiko commented, watching the redhead wash down his meal with his carton of milk.

"I'm surprised that you eat like a guy," Kagami mused, turning to eye the 10 bite-sized dumplings and two cups of cantons sitting on Kamiko's desk.

"I don't really care. I eat and there's no stopping me and the same goes for you, too," she lightly shrugged.

As he was about to bite back, he winced as he realized he pulled on a sore muscle. "Damn, I'm sore all over." He grumbled, rubbing at his shoulders. "I guess playing two matches in a row will do that to you."

"Kagami-kun! Miko-chan!" A familiar voice called out to the two freshmen from outside their classroom door just then. Kamiko turned only to see the coach of their basketball team standing just their door with two cartoon boxes in her arms.

"Good timing! Come with me."

.XxX.

And so, much to Kagami's dismay, he was saddled with the task of carrying a carton box whilst Kamiko was bringing the other, all the way to wherever their coach wanted it. 

With just how heavy that one box was, the redhead groaned, not really wanting to know just what is in the box. Knowing his coach, it's probably training weights or something similar.

He decided to glance at Kamiko, but much to his growing irritation, she was carrying the box like it was nothing at all! 'She must really be a guy then.' Kagami inwardly groaned.

"I'm sore..." Groaning at the weight in his arms, he demanded then. "Are you an ogre? What's even in these boxes? Karadai carries hers as if it was a feather!" He added as he glanced at the sky-bluenette who is strolling with them just as casually.

"You want to make a maiden carry those boxes and you call yourself a man? That's your job," Riko giggled as she took a quick glance at the sky-bluenette, who was just silent. "Oh, she's... a maiden kind of knight. So! She's not any different from a man."

 To that, Kamiko sighed, for once, was unnoticeably irritable at her coach's tease.

"What? I don't see a maiden anywhere," Kagami deadpanned, only to be punched by Riko for his trouble.

"They're DVDs of this year's and last year's games from the clubroom," Riko answered, ignoring his stupidity altogether. "They're for scouting, and the clubroom is so small. We're going to be playing two games in a row against the kings in the semi-finals after all. There's no such thing as over-analyzing. Oh and, Miko-chan, will Kuroko-kun be joining us later?"
