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!?

As I glanced sideways at Mitsuru, who looked nervous every time our shoulders brushed against each other, I found myself reflecting on the journey weโd taken together so far.
Two springs ago, he suddenly appeared before us.
โIโm going to take you guys to the National High School Championships, no matter what. Iโll make you do anything to make that happen, so be prepared.โ
Iโm pretty sure thatโs how he introduced himself to us.
With his messy hair and sharp gaze, Mitsuruโs appearance was, to put it mildly, far from handsome.
But there was something about his piercing eyes and direct way of speaking that drew people in.
Or rather, I was immediately drawn to him.
Mitsuruโs domineering attitude was exactly my type.
Even though Iโm a girl, people have always told me Iโm tomboyish.
I was called โhandsomeโ more often than โbeautiful.โ
People around me just assumed I was the โgentlemanlyโ type and forced that image on me.
But the truth is, Iโm selfish and short-temperedโthe kind of person who wants to be pampered by someone.
Thatโs why Iโd always looked up to people who were stronger and more masculine than me.
I figured that in front of someone like that, I could finally be my true selfโa selfish girl.
And Mitsuru was exactly that.
We were kind of like two peas in a pod in the way we thought, so our opinions clashed and we were always fighting.
No matter how bossy I sounded, talking like a guy, Mitsuru never backed down.
In fact, heโd say things that made me happyโlike, โSeriously, Yukimura, your tone is so manly, but your voice is so cuteโโwhich just made me feel flustered.
The truth is, on the other end of the phone, my face was bright red the whole time.
Even though Iโd get so worked up when he made a valid point that Iโd snap back at him, every time Mitsuruโs manly voice reached my ears, my heart would race like crazy.
It seems like Mitsuru thinks of me as an equal, or someone he can talk to about anything.
But I donโt need us to be equals.
I want him to keep me on my toes even more.
He can ask me to do the impossible.
He can ask me to do nothing but unreasonable things.
Because I think being treated gently just means heโs being considerate of me.
I want him to just do whatever he wants and be selfish with me.
If he wants money, Iโll go earn it; if housework is a hassle, Iโll gladly be his housekeeper.
Getting dressed, putting on socks, even washing your back in the bathโI want to do it all for you.
Itโs fine if youโre the old-fashioned kind of husband who sits in the kitchen drinking beer without even picking up a pair of chopsticks.
Everything.
I want to do it all for you.
I want to be the only one you can be selfish with.ใ
I want him to say things so outrageous that no one but me could possibly put up with his whims.
If thatโs what Mitsuru wants.
You can do whatever naughty things you want with me.
Wildly.
Yes.
โI really want you to do it wildly.โ
