“! Wh-what is it?” Ange was zoning out while stretching. She had been acting odd since that day. She seemed to have trouble focusing on anything and often zoned out like this. However, he did not remember anything happening in the battle with Black Cat and she had also acted weird for a while after Black Cat’s attack two weeks before, so he decided not to worry too much about it. He had regained his normal life, but the relations.h.i.+ps between the four of them were gradually changing. “Sigh…”
One other person had undergone a change that day, but Mutsuki was unaware of that one. A short distance away, Kurikara Saya was staring intently at the four of them. Sakae noticed. “What is it? The match is gonna start soon, so don’t you need to get ready?” “Oh, right. I’m about to.” Her response was noticeably low in energy. The two of them were the biggest eternal optimists in their cla.s.s, so this bothered Sakae and he tilted his head. “Is something the matter?” Saya paused for a moment before hesitantly opening her mouth. “Tomono-kun…what do you think about h.o.m.os.e.xuality?” Sakae’s vision seemed to blur and his mind briefly went blank, but he finally held his head with a grim look on his face. “Um…is this what they call a fujos.h.i.+? Are you the kind of girl that enjoys imagining her male friends and cla.s.smates as couples?” “Yup.” “Well, as long as it’s all in your head. You’re free to pair up Mutsuki and Satowa if you want. You’re free to get so lost in your delusions you barely get any sleep for days on end if you want. But. Don’t expect me to understand.” “Oh, c’mon! Fujita-kun and Satowa-kun is great! They’re both boys, so it’s simply beautiful!” “You’ve already lost me on that one.” “And in my mind it isn’t Fujita-kun x Satowa-kun, it’s Satowa-kun x Fujita-kun. The order is important, so don’t get it wrong.” “I don’t care. Can you just get to the point?” “…Ange-chan confessed to me.” “What!?” Thanks to this unexpected s.h.i.+ft in the conversation, his mind went blank a second time. “For real?” “For real.” Both of them looked over at the other four. Specifically, at Ange who did not seem to have much energy. “She confessed to me a few days ago. She was mad I had made Fujita-kun and her look like a couple and then she said she likes me better than him.” “W-w-w-w-w-w-wait, wait, wait. Um, are you serious? So Jiyuuni is a l-l-lesbian?” “Definitely. She even attacked me while saying she’s an angel and that I’m actually a cat. She looked so serious too.” “An angel? A cat?” “They’re slang for futanari and uke!” Saya seemed mad he did not know that, but Sakae’s mind went blank a third time because he did not know what futanari meant either. “What do I do~? I love h.o.m.os.e.xuality in my fantasies, but I’m not so sure about it in the real world~” She held her head in her hands and really did seem troubled, but… “But, but. If Ange-chan really does have one of those… Ahhh, ahhh! I just imagined it! I just imagined it!” She seemed somewhat happy. “So how did you respond?” “I didn’t. I was so shocked and sleep-deprived that I fainted. …Oh, right. I think I saw the flames of love just before I pa.s.sed out. They were blue, though.” Talking about it must have only increased her worries because she blushed and somewhat happily turned a heated look Ange’s way. Oblivious, Ange continued her stretches. The volleyball game betrayed most everyone’s expectations. “Ibekusa!” “Angle of incidence and speed are both excellent. …Jiyuuni-san.” “Teyah!” Ange made a perfect spike right into the center of the opposite court. She had been worried about it touching the net, but the whistle did not blow and the score changed to 20-17. In a betrayal of expectations, it was a close match and the teacher team as actually behind a bit. “Yes!! Great combo play!” “All right!” Sakae and Mutsuki had not done anything, but they both jumped for joy. Lucia had beautifully received a powerful spike and Machina had accurately pa.s.sed it along. Mutsuki looked especially delighted and satisfied. As for Ange, their attacker… “Eh heh heh. You can just go for it, Ange-chan. If you think you’re going to miss, I’ll help you out.” “O-okay. Thanks, Saya.” “Eh heh heh heh heh heh.” Ange looked troubled by how Saya creepily followed her around with a smile. Ange had mistakenly questioned the girl a few days before, but she had concluded the girl did not remember since she had said nothing about it. However, she had grown even more attached to Ange since that day. Ange also glanced over at Machina and Lucia. They did not exchange high fives or smiles. They were enemies, after all. But… “Leave the next one to me too.” “Positive.” “Sure, sure. You really are full of yourself.” Lucia would catch the ball, Machina would accurately pa.s.s it along, and Ange would send it back. At least in that series of actions, they were the ultimate combo. They had synchronized their timing while fighting with their lives on the line, so of course they could apply that to mere sports. And while Mutsuki’s team was in top form… “Honestly! How could you miss that one, Katsue-sensei!? You should have had that!” “Kh…” It had fallen right in the center of the court, so the blame fell squarely on the receiver. The angry attacker was Daima-sensei. Receiver Katsue Subaru was frustrated, but there was nothing she could say. The teacher team was doing poorly. The other five were fine, but Katsue-sensei, the setter, was moving poorly. She was the key to their defense, so they could not s.h.i.+ft to offense and could not make use of Daima-sensei’s great height. “Yes! It’s working! Everyone! Let’s kick the Demon G.o.d team’s a.s.s!” Sakae was great at working up excitement, so even the spectators cheered. Daima-sensei’s face stiffened as she was called the Demon G.o.d in front of the entire student body. She glared at Katsue-sensei, telling her to do her job this time, and then returned to her position. However, the setter’s problem was not one of motivation. “Here goes.” Mutsuki, the server, gently sent the ball in from outside the court. It had no speed and its path was straight. The serve was only meant to get inside the enemy court, but… “How did that do?” After finis.h.i.+ng his serve, Mutsuki looked to where the ball was falling. Katsue-sensei happened to be there and their eyes met. “Uuh…” His teacher blushed and looked away. The ball fell right next to her. “Gyaaaaaaaaahhhhh! I can’t believe youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!” Daima shouted because there was no excuse for that one. The other woman could only avert her gaze. But even as she looked down, she kept glancing over to the other team’s court. “Yesss! An ace!” She saw Mutsuki celebrating by high-fiving Sakae and Lucia. “~~” Her mouth relaxed in gentle happiness. “Okay, time for the next one, Ange, Ibekusa-san, Lucia-kun.” Mutsuki seemed to have grown a little c.o.c.ky after scoring that point. He spun the next ball in his fingertips and gave instructions. “Sure, sure.” “Understood.” “Ready when you are♪” Ange shrugged, Machina’s face tensed, and Lucia looked delighted to be ordered around. They were all working together. They were nothing more than perfectly normal teammates. “Doryaaaahhh! Don’t-Call-Me-Demon-G.o.d Attaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!” “Is that all you’ve go-…wah, wah, wah!! That one’s strong! Ibekusa!” “Leave it to me. …Jiyuuni-san.” “Okay.” Then they all raised their voices in unison. “Ready, set, go!”
