Chapter -012-

Tak.. Tak.. Tak.. Tak..

The sound of the clock ticking filled the silence that was currently happening in the basketball club meeting room. Where Yuki, who had just said what he wanted to talk to Eita, was silently staring at his senior who was thinking hard across from him.

"Well, I've heard the news. I thought it was just a baseless rumor that won't harm anyone. But it turns out that you're the one who's hurt Yuki-kun here."

Yuki firmly nodded his head.

"Actually, I don't feel wronged. It's just that I feel quite uncomfortable hearing the whispers made by friends in class and other class students when I walk in the corridor or in the canteen. And it also affects Ai-chan and my two sisters who has spread the fact that I am their younger brother."

Eita cleared his throat while looking seriously at the Yuki in front of him. "It really is quite a serious matter to harm other people off the topic of the news."

Again Yuki nodded his head firmly confirming what Eita said.

"But Yuki-kun, why do you want to talk to me about this? Why don't you talk to the captain of the basketball club instead?" Eita asked which made Yuki give him a flat look.

"Of course right now I'm also discussing this with the captain of the Kitsunema club, am I wrong? No, isn't it?"

Laughter escaped from Eita's lips again. "Hahahaha, you're not at all wrong Yuki-kun. I was just wondering, why did you find out that I was the captain of this basketball club."

Yuki lazily rolled his eyes lazily. "Have you forgotten Senpai. When you and I just entered this building, the basketball club members immediately bowed to you."

"Hahaha ah yes you're right! Gosh I forgot that part. Sorry, sorry." Eita said while chuckling amused.

Meanwhile, Yuki only replied with a low sigh.

"Well I will find a way out of this matter and will also discuss this with the student council members. So that these untrue rumors can immediately stop airing and no other party will be harmed from this." Eita said which made Eita silent for a moment in his place then nodded his head slowly.

"If you have trouble talking to the student council, you can tell me and I will ask my brother to take care of this."

Eita quickly nodded his head. "Of course, I also don't want the Kitsunema basketball club's reputation to be tarnished because of the strange rumors currently circulating."

Crit…

Yuki nodded his head back as he got up from his seat.

Eita who saw Yuki who had moved from his seat, also stood up.

"Okay, then I guess I don't have any need here. I'll go home before Ai-chan gets angry and comes looking for me."

A chuckle escaped from Eita's lips again. "Hahaha, looks like that girl is still protective of you."

Yuki only replied to Eita's words with a nod of his head.

After that, now Eita and Yuki walked side by side towards the door of the basketball club meeting room.

"If you have free time, come back here. At least if you don't want to play basketball anymore, you can correct the tactics and style of playing this basketball club so that it changes a bit for the good." Eita said while gently patting Yuki's shoulder.

"Hmm, I'll think about it later." Said the slender Yuki.

Check..

Yuki and Eita, who had just walked through the door of the meeting room, immediately gasped in surprise when they heard the sound of exclamations that boomed inside the indoor basketball court building.

"Eita-kun! How dare you betray me!"

Yuki and Eita also turned their heads to the origin of the call and they both immediately rolled their eyes in surprise when they saw a tall male student with a slightly dark skin color running towards them.

"Eita-senpai! Run fast!" exclaimed Toma who had just come out of the dressing room.

Eita who heard Toma's call without waiting long immediately ran quickly to escape, meanwhile Yuki backed away into the meeting room and locked the door.

"Eita! Don't try to escape you!" Tori exclaimed again who was now running after Eita.

Eita who doesn't know what wrong he has done to Tori, still chooses to run away, until his eyes accidentally meet with Aida and he chooses to run towards Aida.

"Aic-chan! Please save me!" Eita exclaimed, accelerating his run towards Aida.

Aida, whose name was suddenly called by Eita who was running fast, immediately rolled his eyes in surprise.

"Damn it! Why did you have to run towards me senpai!" Aida replied, exclaiming in annoyance. Feeling a little panicked, Aida immediately turned her head left and right looking for something to protect herself.

Aida's eyes immediately found a broom and a floor cleaner. Without waiting long Aida immediately took the two tools when she saw Eita who was getting closer to her.

When Eita was right behind Aida. Aida immediately put up a stance to protect herself and Eita by holding out a broom and floor cleaner in front of her body.

Tori, who was busy chasing Eita with all her strength, immediately rolled her eyes when she saw Eita who was hiding behind Aida who had already held out a broom and floor cleaner as a protective shield.

Tori quickly stopped her running speed when she was in front of Aida.

Aida, who saw Tori running closer to herself, strengthened her grip on the broom and floor cleaner while closing her eyes tightly, anticipating that Tori would hit her and Eita's body.

Ckiitttt..

The sound of squeaking shoes on the basketball court floor echoed in every corner of the indoor basketball court room. Making the members of the basketball club cover their ringing ears.

"Hah.. Hah.. Hah.." Tori, who managed to stop her running speed, breathed a sigh of relief even though her breath was still fast.

Meanwhile, Aida and Eita, who had closed their eyes for a while, opened their eyes again when they didn't feel any impact on their bodies.

Aida and Eita both immediately directed their gazes towards Tori who was already standing in front of them with a ragged breath.

Aida's eyes immediately narrowed, staring intently at Tori.

"Hey you! Didn't anyone tell you not to play catch-up on the indoor basketball court?! What if you're going to hurt your teammates because of what you've done wrong?!"

Eita, who just wanted to advise Tori, lost quickly to Aida, who had scolded her friend first.

Meanwhile, Tori, who was shouted at by Aida, froze on the spot, because this was the first time a woman had shouted at her like this.

"Hurry up and apologize!" Aida exclaimed fiercely with a raised tone of voice that echoed in every corner of the room.

Aida saw that Tori still didn't react, she swung the broomstick towards her other hand, which was no longer holding the floor cleaner.

Whoops!

Whoops!

Whoops!

"Hurry up and apologize right now! Or I'll punish you for two hours of non-stop pullups?!"

group.

With difficulty Tori swallowed his saliva when he saw the expression on Aida's face that was so scary right now.

"Why just keep quiet?! Hurry up mint-hmmpphh

"Shhh, Ai-chan. You can't make a fuss in public." Yuki whispered that had covered Aida's mouth.

Yuki's eyes now turned to Tori who was still standing in front of him and Aida.

Yuki slightly lowered her head to Tori. "Sorry senpai, my friend didn't mean to scold you. I hope you will forgive us."

Aida who heard Yuki apologize to Tori immediately rolled her eyes. He was not happy to see Yuki apologized to Tori. Because clearly Tori is the one at fault.

Tori, who saw Yuki's figure directly in front of her, stiffened in her place with her eyes widening in surprise.

"Y-you! Tetsuya Yuki?!" Tori exclaimed by raising her voice, bringing the attention of all the basketball club members now towards them.

Yuki, whose name was called by Tori and realized that he was now the center of attention of the members of the Kitsunema basketball club, had a small smile on his face, then lowered his head again.

"Greetings everyone. My name is Tetsuya Yuki, a member of the Natsu High School cooking club, nice to meet you."
