Iโve Been Working My Hardest as Manager of the Girlsโ Track and Field Team, but Ever Since I Retired, the Team Members Have Been Coming at Me Like Crazy!?
โHmmโฆโ
In a school classroom.
I was sitting there alone, racking my brain.
About what Shirotori meant by โpaying me back.โ
โEverything about me, you know.โ
Of course, that probably means exactly what she said.
Or maybe it means something more than that.
In any case, it means that if I want to, I can do whatever I please with Shirotori.
Hmmโฆ
โโฆโฆGlance.โ
I secretly scanned the classroom and saw my female classmates chatting and laughing.
But every single one of them was more ordinary and less attractive than Shiratori.
I donโt mean to put them down.
It just shows how attractive she is.
No, itโs not just Shiratori.
Yukimura and Hayase too.
All three of them are stunning beauties, each in their own way.
At first, it was all about getting into college, and later on, I was so focused on getting us all to the National High School Championships that I didnโt even give their looks a second glance.
No.
I pretended not to notice because I figured someone like me wouldnโt stand a chance with them anyway.
But they all like me.
Those three beauties love me to the point of madness.
That fact is undeniable.
The future is in my hands.
โHmmโฆโ
โMitsuru, whatโs wrong? Youโve been mumbling to yourself for a while now.โ
โOh, Yukimura.โ
Yukimura, whoโs also my classmate, came over to me.
โMitsuru, is something bothering you?โ
โNah, nothing.โ
โLiar. Come on, itโs about Moe, isnโt it?โ
โW-why?โ
โBecause, Mitsuru, youโre always so preoccupied with Moe.โ
โW-well, not really.โ
โYou just donโt realize it. Sure, Moeโs the type you canโt ignore, but trying to monopolize Mitsuru like thatโyouโre such a bad girl.โ
Yukimuraโs expression clouded over slightly.
Hmm, things are looking a bit dicey.
โW-well, I guess part of it is that she had the least track record out of the three of us. Yukimura was already one of the top students in the city to begin with.โ
โHmm, thatโs certainly true. Besides, since club activities are over, thereโs no need to worry about her anymore.โ
โH-haha, youโre right.โ
I donโt think this obvious attempt to butter her up will smooth things over completely, but for now, I have to focus on keeping Yukimura happy.
Weโre classmates, after all, and I wouldnโt stand a chance if she said something weird in class.
โHey, Mitsuru.โ
โW-what is it?โ
โDo you remember our promise?โ
โPromise?โ
โYou know, the one where whoever wins at Uno gets to go on a date with Mitsuru in order.โ
โOh, yeah, I remember.โ
โTomorrow happens to be Saturday, so how about we go out first thing in the morning?โ
โWell, since itโs a promise, I guess. Is there somewhere you want to go?โ
โOf course, Iโd love to go to your room.โ
โW-well, I donโt think that counts as โgoing outโ.โ
โI know that. Weโll save that for last. Since itโs a special occasion, how about we have a fancy breakfast in the morning?โ
โBreakfast? Are there even places that serve that?โ
โYeah. A friend of mine actually runs a cafรฉ. What do you think?โ
โHmm, I guess so.โ
I donโt have a say in the matter anyway.
โThen itโs settled. Also, letโs eat lunch together.โ
โHuh, lunch too?โ
โYeah. Itโs first come, first served with this kind of thing. Itโs a promise, okay?โ
โUh, yeah.โ
After making that promise, Yukimura returned to her seat with a satisfied look.
Basically, as long as I go along with whatever they say, things stay peaceful.
I just want to keep living my days like this, without any trouble.
Yes, without anything happening.
For example.
I hope Hayase, whoโs been staring at me through the window the whole time, doesnโt do anything.
