Escorting the whole club

On my way to the waiting room of the basketball club, I ran into their opponents who were also on their way out.

They all looked gloomy and a few of them had swollen eyes. They probably bawled their eyes out from the frustration of losing that hard. Even though they did their best, it amounted to nothing when the gap between their skills was that huge.

Well, it’s inevitable to feel like that when you know for yourself that you put your all into something and it could only carry you to that point.

I tried to not get in their way, planting myself next to the wall to let them walk past.

Ah. Right. They probably recognized me as the loud idiot from earlier as more than half of them glared at me as though I was a nuisance.

Thankfully, their coach and perhaps, the Captain of the team ushered them forward, leaving me alone.

“I can’t blame, can I?” I wryly smiled as I finished recounting the same event to Satsuki and the entirety of the Basketball Club.
