Chapter 09 : Back to the Field and Back to New Issues

"I'm so tired,"

After the training I felt that my body, like it needed a deadly poison. I feel that this is the result of my hard work.

I sat down to rest for a while, while watching the other students practice. I also often pay attention to their style of play.

This is one method as a midfielder to know where the player's position is.

"This is a drink for you,"

Instantly I turned my head towards the voice. The one who threw the drink at me was none other than my own manager, Hana.

I can't believe he gave me a drink.

She didn't hesitate in the slightest to give me the drink, after what we had done this afternoon.

I was still hesitant to mention his real name. So I call him by the same calling as the students here.

"Thank you manager,"

"You're welcome, Kamuto,"

After I received the drink from him, she smiled while placing both his hands behind his back.

Before drinking it, I first looked at the type of drink Hana had given me.

'It's a high-energy drink, it's definitely very expensive. I didn't expect that Hannah would give this to me.'

"Please drink Kamuto,"

I just nodded my head and drank it right away.

The drinks I drank were very different from the ones I often drank during training. I could feel it after the water passed through my throat.

It felt like my energy was recharged.

"AHHHHHHH"

I shouted excitedly and was ready to return to training.

A drink from Hannah was helpful.

"There's no need to shout like that Kamuto, look at all the students watching you. Are you not ashamed?"

"Sorry manager. I didn't mean to. Maybe it's because of a drink from you. Therefore, I am very excited that I want to play full-time.

"What are you saying Kamuto?! It was a gift from me for allowing me to call your first name."

The reward for being allowed to call a first name, it is very excessive the manager. Consider it normal because we've been through this for a year together.

I also don't have a problem with it anymore, which is the problem of the students who are here.

It seems like I was also affected by the virus of a sudden scream from Akira.

Shouting like that releases my current fatigue.

"Really a manager? Then I'll give you a gift as well."

The manager's eyes lit up very brightly. Of course he wouldn't refuse a gift from me.

 I'll repay the reward later. But there is an unresolved problem.

I don't know what to give the manager.

Do I have to give the manager a drink as well?

But it seems that she doesn't like a drink.

After all, I don't know his favorite drink.

I'll have Akira ask her girlfriend later, what is Hana's favorite item or food.

"I can't wait for it Kamuto,"

"Then I will continue to train again"

She gave me permission to take part in the training sessions.

All the students were immediately excited when I entered the field.

"Our generals are back!!"

"Hurry up Hashimoto, we need you!!"

I waved my hand towards them.

They seemed to have waited a long time, even though I only rested for five minutes.

When they got there they swarmed me, looking at me with a sharp look.

"For a while, it seems like Hashimoto has a special relationship with the manager,"

"I feel that way too. He was treated specially by the manager. We are so jealous of you Hashimoto!!"

"Ahhhh, I feel like hitting you on the head, Hashimoto."

"Calm down guys, we don't have a special relationship what you say."

"Don't lie Hashimoto!!"

"We see that you are given a different drink than us. It makes us very jealous"

They all protested because Hana treated me so specially. Usually they never protest in the slightest. and moreover Hana's nature changed when she called my first name.

They all admired Hana, with her stern and disciplined nature. Coupled with a sweet smile.

"Tell me honestly Hashimoto,"

"I've said honestly, I DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP TO THE MANAGER!!"

I shouted very loudly, making their faces look astonished. In the end they smiled with satisfaction.

If I hadn't shouted, maybe they wouldn't have believed me with what I said just now.

My voice echoed very loudly, it rang out in Hana's ears.

Hana, who heard my scream, walked towards us.

When she arrived there, she put on an angry expression. Both of his hands were on his waist.

"Why are you shouting like that Kamuto?"

Everyone who heard my first name called by Hana, again became angry. Their temples require such wide veins.

It was as if I was a threat from them.

One of them, pulling the collar of my shirt, had tears in his eyes as if holding back tears.

And he said.

"H-hashimoto, I want to exchange lives with you. I'm very jealous, because the manager mentioned your first name.

After that, someone also strangled my neck from behind.

"You are rude Hashimoto. You betrayed us, and we don't trust you anymore."

"Let it go!! You can kill me like this."

"You all let go of Kamuto, see he's having trouble breathing."

Everyone smiled looking at Hannah.

Then they all followed Hannah's command, finally. I can breathe normally.

But they still looked at me with a sharp gaze.

"Alright, let's just continue the training."

They began to disperse for rehearsals, and left me and Hana.

"Are you alright Kamuto, you look pale."

"I'm fine Hana,"

Their footsteps stopped when I called Hana's first name, their heads like they were in need of smoke.

"Hashimoto!!"

"Why is he always the one who always gets special from the manager!!"

They all shouted very loudly.

I could only sigh for a long time. I already know what will happen to me later.

Before they went towards me again, a baseball boy approached us and said.

"Hello football team, we want this field for training. So, you are expected to get out of the field.

"What are you saying, the baseball team has no right to use our field!!"

"Take care of yourself, we have discussed this with the student council. If you don't believe it, just ask the student council members."

There was no notification from the student council members if this field would be used by the baseball team. We will not give it up for granted.

After all, the Baseball team usually never practices in school. They only practiced in the field near the river not far from the school.

It looks like this is going to be a problem. If the student council does not tell us.

It was seen that there was a boy coming forward, I knew him. He is Ryouji Minamoto, the captain of the baseball team.

"If you want to protest. Please go to the student council room right now, don't waste our time. We want to train so that we can get into the national league."

"It's the same. We want to get into the national league!!"

"The national league you say? Just enter between regions, you have a difficulty, let alone the national league."

The baseball teams laughed at us, but we were confident that the football team could penetrate the national league.
