Akira Sendoh

You were the manager of the Ryonan High School team, you helped clean the gym, and at the same time you stored the balls so that they could be used the next day.

Sendoh, on the other hand, was one of the most popular, both at Ryonan High School and outside of it, as many clubs recognized him as someone with genuine skill in basketball.

The thing is, he was also popular with women, so sometimes you'd hear their screams outside the gym or during matches...they were getting on your nerves...not because you liked Sendoh, but they distracted him.

That's a lie, you were distracting him.

Sendoh noticed his manager; to him, you were a fun and beautiful woman, and he was always grateful that you helped the team with cleaning... you were different.

Now you were cleaning, as always.

You would sweep the gym even though it was already night...you still had to put away the balls...

Akira kept training, which seemed strange to you because when you left every other day, he did too, but now he stayed late, shooting hoops, making more than he missed.

When you had put away the balls and finished sweeping, you picked up your bag and slung it over your shoulder.

Sendoh, noticing that you had finished, quickly put away the ball he was using and gathered his things so he could follow you as you left the gym.

He came out with you, and you closed the doors before you could even glance at him.

"It's strange that you're still here, what made you stay so late?"

You said, confused, and he just smiled, shrugging his shoulders.

"Shall I walk you home? It's quite late for you to be walking alone, besides... I can catch the bus later."

He said, nervously scratching the back of his neck.

"Was that what it was for?...I can take the bus, it's not necessary."

You said it under your breath and he followed you when you started walking.

"Then I'll take the bus too, I'll go with you."
