Chapter 217: Memories of Pequeños Part 11

The teams were having a strong encounter with each other in this game of taking away everyone's bands. The surprise came especially from a duel, that many of the students who were around, did not avoid turning their eyes to see such a spectacular fight between these students, it is noted that they stood out among the others for their ability and desire to emerge victorious.

But more surprised a certain person, since he had never been seen in something like this, in something similar, it is like how calm and kind he always was, that he has a competitive side made even surprise his friends who were also in this fight, if not also his rival, who compared to him and many others, strives for a fixed goal at the time.

『(I knew they were training and preparing for this event, but to be honest, when I saw them, I thought that even if they try so hard, I doubt very much that one of them will manage to beat me, I heard about Albert, who was a nice guy and made innocent jokes...I didn't think he could give me face.....)』

Dani who was the rider of his team, was fighting hard and maybe even more than necessary to beat Albert, at the beginning of the confrontation he had a confident face but he quickly removed it to not minimize his rival, but little by little that face was changing to a worried one and he realized that this guy can surprise too much.

Dani no longer thinking that too much time has passed and that he is spending too much time with this guy, it was enough. There is still more time left and so far he has not taken any other band. But he can't just leave, he's going to finish this duel and put an end to it. Dani gave the order of a plan already prepared before, with his hands he showed the signs and his other companions understood it.

Albert gave the order to his companions to stop and wait to see what happened. They who were going fast and because of the sudden brake, Albert almost fell down. The boy was worried about what his rival could do, in the short time that the game had been going on, Albert was having a great time, but he was having more fun.

Both Rojito and Potter were asking what was going on, that it was time to attack since the rival had remained still, The Dog continued without saying anything, but his legs seemed to suffer an earthquake that would never stop. In there Albert went on to comment to his friends about what was happening.

『We have to wait what they will do, a moment ago I could notice how Dani-san slightly moved his hands, it seems that he gave them the order of something...I think he was preparing a plan, that's why we have to stop and we also have to think what they will do and contradict him.... if not...if not..... this could be the end for us...I want to.... I want to win with all of you』.

Albert was very serious and thinking about what was going on, but his words again were like something out of a manga or fictional story. Also with the dynamism and drama he put into it, his classmates couldn't help but look at him strangely.

『I still can't get used to you talking like that Albert...aren't you at least a little ashamed to say it like that? your last words sound like we're all going to die』.

Rojito turned to his friend telling him the truth and sincere in his words, Albert to this happened to be surprised and scratching his head commenting that he can't help it, that part of him comes out by himself and that even it's already something very much of him, that if he doesn't spend a moment like that, then he wouldn't be the same.

『Maybe we don't dislike it at all, it's something new that we could get used to, and this is personal, but every time I like your words, they are so sincere of yourself that you are not afraid in many occasions to show how you really are or what you like, I like it』.

Potter dedicated a few words to Albert, he is more influenced by this type of comments made by Albert, because believe it or not, Potter is arguably the most sensitive in emotions and feelings, so this type of cases, is the one who most touches his heart. Albert's eyes twinkled slightly at this and he thanked Potter for his sincere comment. But out of how cute all this was, at last the quiet boy that was The Dog, decided to speak up.

『And that that!!!!! Very nice and all, they're really going to make me get sentimental too!!!! But we're in a duel!!!! Don't you see!!!! The enemy is still!!!! It's our time to attack!!!! So let's attack!!!! Don't think it over and do it!!!!』 (gΦ皿Φ)g〃

El Perro seemed to be living it more than our friend Albert, even his look told him that he wanted to jump towards the enemy and see what was going on. Albert was surprised by El Perro and calmly commented that we should wait for them to make the first move. But like a rabid dog, Omar refused Albert's words and wanted to run with all his might. In there would also enter Rojito supporting El Perro that they should attack.

"『It's true Albert, that's how we do things, we attack without thinking before, besides we are bigger in votes, and also ..... I want to show that big girl that we little ones aren't afraid of anything, right Potter?

『Me? I think you're right, I too at some point have to stop being afraid and go on the attack, so let's go!!!!』

Everyone was wanting to go all at once for Dani's team who was still standing still thinking of a plan, these friends were prompting Albert to go all at once to attack. Albert wanted to wait a little longer and organized .... not even they organized a plan, Albert could not contradict the words of his friends, he can not refuse something they want or have to do. Albert shouted without further ado pointing his finger forward.

『AAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Attack like crazy my friends!!!!』

Hearing Albert, as much as El Perro, Rojito and Potter smiling amusingly and as if they were a bull merged with a dog and a pigeon, they were going full speed ahead to take the band from Dani's team. It looked like they weren't going to stop until The Dog of Excitement hit a battle cry that would become iconic of him.

『They're down』

Dani commented before Albert managed to get the band off his forehead, without more well organized and coordinated, Dani's team literally bulldozed Albert's team that they having fallen for Dani's plan, they could no longer do anything. And with a quick hand maneuver. Dani managed to remove the band from Albert's head. Quickly also acted Omar who fell down on the floor, looking with impression and sadness what just happened.

『I'm sorry....it's my fault for saying let's attack at once, I got excited again in a game I didn't think of anything but winning, I'm really sorry friends』 （;』;）○|￣|＿

The Dog felt terrible as he started this attacking thing and even hit his battle cry that later we can hear it again. Albert wanted to comfort his friend by telling him that it wasn't wrong of him to act, that maybe this time it didn't work, but for sure in others it will and that it will be the best option. That he should not be sad anymore and that the important thing is that they had a lot of fun, isn't it?

『Note that you were very excited about this game, I think you wanted to be the rider and when I was the rider, you decided to concentrate all your anger in exerting yourself like never before, running back and forth, it was fun to have been your partner on this occasion Omar-san』

『Anger? I see you noticed it, it was still fun for me, next time I'll try to listen to my other partners, but no one will take away the funniest part of anything』 ヽ(*'∀`)ﾉﾞ

Albert was giving his hand to Omar so that he could stand up as he was still on the ground from regretting his action without any plan behind it. Quickly Omar from how disappointed he was for himself, to make himself feel a little better, decided to also blame his other teammates for agreeing with his idea. We could say that it was his way of taking out the little anger he had left on his teammates and sharing the big mistake.

"I see I was wrong, you can't know everything about someone if you only see them from afar』.

Dani appeared in front of the already defeated friends, quickly Rojito started tapping the Potter to annoy him, the Potter quickly adjusted his glasses while trying to hide his shyness.

『You performed very well, I felt instantly when we were fighting, that you were a novice at this, your movements and everything gave it away, but you quickly adapted and began to improve, you even copied my movements, I wondered how you could be so strong and when I looked more closely I realized, you were strong because of your friends, you started to coordinate without them noticing and that made you one, if you decided to dodge you dodged, if you decided to go right you went right, if you decided to lower your head, you all lowered your heads. It was excellent teamwork, there was no disturbance, if you said anything no one would stop you, so when you decided to come at me, you all only thought of one thing, to take my sash, there was nothing else, that's why you couldn't dodge when you realized it was a feint. Although I almost made a mistake too and grabbed something else, anyway, thanks for giving me this little surprise and making me see things I didn't know』.

With that little speech to our companions, Dani and his group left to continue with the game. Albert upon hearing these words, looked happy but quickly blurted out a mild comment.

『You believe that? I hope, someday it will become real *smiles*』.

The Dog went over to his friend Potter and grabbed him by the neck to hug him, while emphasizing that he was indirectly congratulating him. Potter at this again blushed as he touched his heart while commenting in his mind that this feeling is very beautiful to have. Quickly The Dog removed his hand as he realized that Potter was sweating again like never before and that he also made them thirsty. They alerted Albert to go all together to get some drinks and watch from afar with the other people as the game progressed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are now in the confrontation of Cliston's team and Ishi's team, both were staring at each other while circling each other, also their teammates were nervous of what could happen, Ishi was staring that his eyes were wide open. At that moment Rino whispered in Cliston's ear, it seemed that he was telling him something important. Cliston nodded his head, while Brayan did his best to support the weight of his big guy friend.

『I'm sorry Ishi-san, but let's get this over with, I'm already bored 』

Cliston commented offhandedly with a proud and determined tone of voice, where these were still circling each other without taking their eyes off each other, or at least Ishi is the only one who is doing that.

『(Get it over with? Did you get bored? Are you telling me that you're going to beat me? It's Cliston, he's very dangerous....I must be careful and he even warned me, ha! what an idiot! now I'm prepared in case he acts up, but what does he think? Many times Cliston is very cocky and he says those words, I've seen him before, but not this time, you won't beat me this time, COME I'LL WAIT FOR YOU WITH MY EYES OPEN! !!!!)』 ઈ(@̴̨̊̋̐̃̀̽̽ͅ❦@̴̨̊̋̐̃̀̽̽ͅ)ૐ ʘੂඋ̈ੁʘੂ ⌈ ⚫▂▂⚫ ⌉

Ishi's other companions also put on the same expression as Ishi, they had their eyes wide open because according to them, this way they could see more things and notice it as soon as possible. Cliston didn't look away and even gave the order.

『Let's go』

Without further ado, Cliston's team turned their backs to Ishi and started to retreat to look for another opponent. Ishi became very cold, as if an air passed around him blowing, from the gestures they had they went to having the poker face very marked.

『Eh? Let's go??? What? Hey, did Rino whisper that to Cliston? Come to think of it, these 2 come to think alike on many occasions...eh??EH???¿¿¿¿¿』 ( 'ᾥ' )

As Cliston withdrew, Cliston sighed that it was the best idea, that it was making him very nervous the way Ishi really took this very seriously, where Rino added that it's just a game to have a good time as always, not that this depended on your life. In a quick way Ishi appeared with his team in front of Cliston and the others, saying.

『So that's me!!!!! I take anything seriously!!!! As if my life depended on it!!!!! Even if it were a silly game!!!!!! I'd be able to burst my veins at that instant!!!!!!』

Ishi's neck without further notice his thick veins and that would be about to burst, Ishi would quickly extend his hand to take Cliston's band, but because of the quick action of Brayan and Rino, they jumped backwards dodging Ishi's attack. While they recovered Ishi attacked with everything without wasting a second, the only thing he wanted was to be able to beat these guys because it is a personal matter. For him this is not a simple game.

『When you play a game and you lose, do you think it's a game? If you don't get angry when you lose and you are with the mentality that it's a simple game, you are a shit, that's how things are, I'm sorry to say it, you are a fool, you are nobody, YOU ARE NOT COMPETITIVE!!!!!』

Ishi as if he was a beast and also with the support of his team who were very coordinated, they were putting Cliston's team in trouble, who all they could do was dodge and have to avoid them at all costs, the only thing they wanted was to escape, where Ishi would continue with his words.

『You're not going to get anything!!!! I'm sorry to say it and contradict your way of thinking, but THIS IS NOT A GAME!!! nothing is a game!!! this is the reality, do you think this competition is a simple game?!? that the students are trying hard is a game?!? are you an imbecile?!? or what's wrong with them? like what a game?!? When I lose, it pisses me off, you must have noticed it, right? when I lose a match, a game, it pisses me off, because it is not a game, in this case we are 4 people against 4 people, where is the game? ???? Ask Messi if it's a game, ask Cristiano if it's a game, you don't know what's going on you guys, he kicks the shit out of you, how is it a game??? for me it's not a game, you relaxed shits who have never done anything in your life until now, .... for me it's not a game』.

Ishi without further ado it seems that he couldn't control himself because of what they did before that he ended up blurting out very sincere words from him accompanied with his way of thinking, how aggressive they were all the time, they stopped, Ishi was giving the order and claiming that they keep going forward. But his partner Fuji happened to look at him worriedly telling him that he thinks he went too far with his words. His other companions thought the same as Fuji. Cliston's eyes were undecided, he did not know where to look, and from the calm expression that Rino always has, he changed to a normal face, it is not known if it is a face of doubt, of tranquility, of concern or it is a face of someone ignorant. It is only a normal face.

『Ishi-kun, I guess you're right, in general you want to say that life is not a game, and in a large percentage I think the same as you, it makes sense your words, none of this is a game, because each one lives and struggles to be happy.....But, I like to disguise that reality with the fact that it is a game, I want to have a good time, I want to enjoy what there is, I want to be calm and always relaxed, games are to enjoy isn't it? I am one of those players who prefer to see it in a childish way so to speak, as a little boy who gives enough to be satisfied, without going to the extreme of achieving difficult and extreme challenges, nobody and I hope they do not manage to change my way of thinking, life is difficult, you made it very clear to me, thank you very much for stressing it to me again, maybe I did not achieve much or nothing because I am just a little boy, but when I grow up, I will try hard, and I will make a path so that the people I care about, do not see the dark outside』.

Rino without further ado also gave a speech, a long commentary on what he thinks, we could say that it is the contradictory of what Ishi is, from the normal gesture that Rino had in all his little speech, a face of decision that Rino rarely gets to see was marked. When Ishi heard Rino's words she was in doubt, she started sweating and thinking about what she had just done, then Fuji told Ishi that Rino had lost her mother years ago in a fatal accident. When Ishi heard that he became more depressed, his arms that were up with strength, little by little began to fall, his neck veins also disappeared, and the face with strange gestures that he always has, passed to a more normal one. He remembered again the words of Rino, and knew that he knows many things that he does not, that Rino lived moments much sadder than him. Comparing the loss of a mother, having to take care of his little sisters, and surely struggling on the sly, to him only experimenting with games like these and stomping his cap to get rid of his anger, is a clear difference. Ishi lowered his head depressed.

『I'm sorry for what I said.... especially to you Rhino, sometimes I also talk like I'm a big guy when in reality I haven't done many things, like you said, I'm a little kid, I'm really sorry....』

Without further ado Ishi bowed his head and even thought of getting off his friend and touching his forehead to the ground to apologize, Ishi's friends also did the same and lowered their heads while asking them to please apologize for the things their friend said and if they got to hurt them. Rino waved his hand while smiling calmly to calm down the situation that everything is now resolved. Cliston would also have things to say.

『I already imagined certain things about you Ishi-san, but not so much, the good thing is that you didn't try to put your ideas to us, I think, then we can conclude that there are 2 types of people in the world, those who take life seriously and those who take it as a game, in my case I would like to interject, there are things that are really important even if they are catalogued as a game, in those cases it is necessary to make an effort as if your life depended on it, but in other cases, you just want to have fun, isn't it, Albert? 』

Cliston also dedicated a few words and a little speech, ending by saying Albert's name since he surely had a lot to do with it. At all this Brayan did not speak because he was more focused on not giving in to the weight of his friend, while it seems that another boy who was in the same team wanted to speak, but was not allowed to. Both teams agreed to continue with the game, where there was a strong fight between them, but as Brayan could not take it anymore, his strength ended up falling and with it all his team. Ishi took Cliston's band without much effort and retired while again apologizing for his earlier behavior. But it seems that Ishi has a bad luck that comes and goes, as he was still a little depressed by what happened before and by his words, without realizing it, Fuji commented that he no longer had the band on his head, it seems that another team took it while he was distracted. The boy instead of stomping on his cap, just this once he let out an A.

『Well, we lost, yeah we didn't do much for our team in this game』.

Rino commented while he was lying on the small pile of his team, in there without further ado we heard how Brayan was complaining about being crushed where we all quickly removed ourselves to be able to help our friend, where without us expecting it, we all got a surprise that there was someone underneath Brayan, it was Joshua who was lying on the floor. He was the fourth person in this team and none of them noticed.

"Oh! Were you with us, Han Solo? (゜.゜)

『What's my name...*dies* xd』

It seems that Joshua breathed his last breath and our friends had no choice but to take him to the infirmary to get some rest. As they were passing through the field, Jersey who was running past quickly managed to see Joshua and that he had on him a blue ribbon.

『That boy has the blue ribbon, is he from our classroom??¿¿¿¿ but who the hell is he???¿¿¿¿』

『Don't lose your focus Jersey-chan!!!! This is very difficult!!! 』

Menhera was calling her sister's attention, Yashiro's group was facing against Kanon's team in this game. Kanon was attacking hard and not hesitating her to give her all, accompanied with speed on the part of Konomi and Yushi, arguably the best team in this entire game. Perfect speed and agility accompanied with a rider who knows what he's doing and doesn't hesitate to attack when the time is right.

『Stop running away Yashiro!!!! Weren't you going to face me? ehh??!!!!』

Kanon was heading towards Yashiro who managed to dodge Kanon's attacks only by the help of his teammates who were the only good thing about this team. Again and again and again, Kanon was close to being able to take Yashiro's band, but he was unable to do so because of the fast acting of his teammates, this annoyed Kanon, it was practically the phrase "so close but so far away".

『You stop it!!!! Are you a liar!!!! Yashiro!!!!! You're going to let your little friends do the job of covering for you as usual!!!!! When you plan to show your face!!!! It's always the same, when I'm about to take everything from you, people show up who for no strange reason support you and save you, why do they do it!!!! It hinders me from my goal!!!! It doesn't make sense!!!』

Kanon passed to shouting without further ado while looking furiously at Yashiro, both teams stopped where Kanon stared at Yashiro, but he was doing his best not to clash glances, in there Kanon stressed to look him in the eyes at once, but he received an answer he did not expect.

『It burns you?』

Lys without further ado in a spicy and mocking way went to Kanon, where the latter upon hearing the words of her companion, became even more enraged and again attacked with everything commenting to Yashiro that she likes to always make him angry. While Yashiro continued escaping from Kanon's team, among the group they commented on how he managed to change teams, and also Konomi, since they were originally from the blue team. That's where Lys commented that maybe Yushi had done something, since she was from the yellow team. Somehow she must have incited Kanon and Konomi to join her team in order to face them because that's the way it's always been, Kanon is behind Yashiro, while the boy was still with his eyes open.

『You're wrong Onee-chan』

Yushi without further comment as he appeared beside our team running at the same speed, it seems like he was going to tell the real reasons why this happened and it's simpler than you think.

『The truth is that our team was left with few members and I was alone, I wanted to compete but there was no one to compete with, I was even going to cry..... at that Kanon-nee-chan appeared and offered to help me, we lacked more members where we also grabbed Konomi-nee-chan who was walking alone, we grabbed another student who was there and we could form our yellow team, how did I do Onee-chan』

『That's my little sister!!!! She's so cute that no one is able to not help her!!!!! Yes you came out just like your mother, you are not only going to hypnotize pibards!!!!! But also chamaquitas!!!! I really love you a lot Yushi!!!!』(๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑)

Lys was really overflowing with love towards her little sister, where Yushi was giving a thumbs up as a sign that she is happy. But quickly Menhera commented that maybe what they did is not allowed, that students from one team can not go to another so simply. Kanon looked ominously at Menhera where he gave his reasons why he can do this.

『Why not? If there is no teacher watching then it's allowed, and besides no spectator is also not going to accuse me if I manage to see me, since they are afraid of me, in short, I can do whatever I feel like』.

Kanon showed his hand as if he was taking something, on his face we could see how he enjoyed these little luxuries that he can do, where we were worried, but the pressure was gone when we heard Jersey.

『That's not done!!!!』

"I know it's not done, do you think I'm stupid?----』

『I'm not talking to you!!!! Komi-chi!!! That's not done!!!! sisters should always be together, we really miss you here.....』(☝◞‸◟)☞

Kanon was left confused and even thinks that she was trolled when she noticed that Jersey was addressing her sister Konomi and not her, Jersey kept complaining to her about why she went to another team, so much did the complaint come that Konomi burst out in anger.

『AAAAAA!!!!!! If you don't shut up I'll prick you with the needles I have!!!! I'll make you tins! and tins! tins! here and tins! over there! I'll kill you Tins!!!! You got it, you better not sleep tonight, if you don't want to be full of holes』

At this Jersey quickly got goose bumps and even trembled from head to toe as if it was electricity, she happened to see me and call my name asking for help while crying like a baby. Kanon saw this and wondered if this is what sisters do, though for sure not.

『Well, Konomi, you want to beat them! I want to beat them!!! You Yushi what do you want?』

"I think it would be interesting if I could beat Onee-chan』.

『There it is!!! We all want to beat them!!!! You won't leave here just like that Yashiro, one of the 2 will lose if or if』.

The other team for different reasons but with the same goal, they want to beat us. With this, the tension that was there before was amplified even more, I don't even think I can resist the speed that my teammates will go. My hands were shaking and sweating, my mind was full of conflicts and different ideas that did not lead to anything. The only thing I was thinking about now was wanting to get out of here.

『(This is wrong.....I'm afraid.....of what Kanon might do to me, I don't want to, I don't want to, I know I said I would face Kanon...but....in the end again I step back at the real moment.....no one from my family....neither my father. ...nor my mother.....nor my sister saw the school.....I'm alone....I have no one to trust.....I hate this....if I had known that this would have happened, if I had known that I really didn't get better....I wouldn't have come.....)』

I was with many doubts in my mind that destroyed me more than helped me, I was even about to shed tears and scream, that was mostly what saved me from these attacks, mostly I used it in first grade, now...years have passed.....e grown up a little..... can....can I use that method again?....yo....yo.... if I can get out of here, I will.

I was about to cry loudly, not just for me, my whole body was telling me to cry desperately and for someone to come and help me. My hand was still shaking where I was about to cry out in tears.

『Don't worry Yashi-kun, you are not alone, I promised you that I would always support you if you are about to break down, if what you want is someone to comfort you, please grant me that position again』.

Menhera took my hand, happened to look at me with that childish and beautiful face she has, while encouraging me and smiling for this agony to go away. My hand, which was shaking a lot, slowly calmed down and I calmed down too. Kanon, who saw this, was confused, asking what they were doing. Menhera was stroking Yashiro's head who slightly lowered it, while saying soothing words to him, like breathe calmly, that everything will get better.

『Your parents didn't come, did they? If you need someone to rely on, I already told you years before! You can always rely on me, I'll be for you whenever and wherever you need, I know you got better all this time, I was with you, if you don't trust yourself, I'll trust you, so please Yashiro, don't cry, okay? Don't give him what Kanon』 wants.

After consoling me Menhera, she passed to look angrily and angrily at Kanon, who that girl was with a smile gesture, but seeing that Menhera acted and worked her words, Kanon's smile passed to be empty, to show a normal gesture.

『Here we go again.....I really hate it....please...stop getting in my way....it costs you nothing....if we were at the beginning of everything....I would have already won from before』

Kanon was touching her face as looking like she now wanted to cry, it seems she held back with all this, where without any more words, Kanon got would be taking position that she is going to attack again. Lys commented that let's get ready and stressed that this time don't close your eyes Yashiro.

『This battle is about to end, so I don't want you to close your eyes Yashiro, don't you dare to close them, otherwise I will be very upset, believe me, I'm not very cute when I get upset, just let yourself be carried away by the moment, you will witness something incredible』.

Lys' tone changed to a more serious and annoyed one perhaps, it was very strange to me since I always see Lys as someone fun and always in high spirits, to hear her with that tone of voice, really intimidates a lot. My classmates are already making an effort for a long time, it's my time to do it too, I want one day to stop being the protégé, and be the kind of person, who looks ahead determined.

Kanon was surprised, since Yashiro's look was different, it seems that this time he is serious. Without further ado, before the shout of Lys began this small but brutal fight between two great teams. Kanon was the one who threw himself like a lion towards Yashiro's deer, but this time, instead of the prey, he stood still without being able to do anything before the claws of his predator. He struggled to live!!!!!

Yashiro without more managed to dodge the attack of Kanon, also this because of his companions, Kanon was surprised but quickly returns to attack, but again by the fair, Yashiro managed to dodge the attack of Kanon. You could hear how Yashiro's teammates congratulated him for managing to dodge, they even told him that he moved like a snake, a skeleton snake.

Lys was excited that without further ado our team launched against Kanon and for a moment there was a cross, I failed to take Kanon's band, but I was barely, with that cross we had, I just realized something that was very mostly present.

『These are .... my reflexes....』

The ability of his reflexes, to be faster than others at crucial moments, finally realizes that he has them!!!! Yashiro looked at his hands and went on to remember all those days when it was a vice to play games that demanded a lot from your reflexes, all those sleepless nights and difficult challenges gave him a real life skill.

『I think .... can win』.

Yashiro said lightly where his teammates could listen to him attentively, out of nowhere Yashiro felt nudges on his sword, it was Jersey and Menhera who were patting their friend for that decision he has. Lys was looking at me smilingly where I was thanking her, she just laughed mockingly. For the first time, this is the first time I feel like I can even at something, beat Kanon!!!!
