Chapter 125 Umi and Nagisa (1)

Today was a holiday and it wouldnt be strange for students from our school to hang out here too. But still, meeting her like this spelled nothing but trouble for us.

Not to mention it was my second time having this kind of encounter here. The first time was with Amami-san and now it was Arae-san. My luck sure was rotten.

H-Hello Arae-san. Did you come here to practice?

Hm? No, why do you care? What Im doing here has nothing to do with you, no?

True Umm Sorry for offending you?

Tch

The moment she saw us, her previously soft facial expression turned into that of a demon.

Back when we were in the classroom, she was still putting in the effort to maintain her image, so she didnt show her hostility clearly like this, but since we werent in the classroom now, she didnt even try to hide it.

Arae-san moved her gaze from Amami-san to us three, who were standing behind her.

Then she snickered out of nowhere.

Ah, I see. I was wondering what you were doing here, so you probably blabbered about me being here to Amami, no, Maehara?

What are you on about? We came here to practice, why would we care about you?

Ah, I see.

I blurted that out to her. I knew that she was trying to single me off, predictable move, but sadly for her such tricks wouldnt work on me.

And of course, my other friends knew better.

Ah now that I think about it, so it was you guys who did that shabby one-on-one game over there. I see, I understand now.

Shabby? Araecchi, are you blind? I havent played basketball for a while, but I know that they are good.

Good for amateurs, thats it. You need to raise your standard more, Nitta, this is why that senpai dumped you, your standard is too low.

Ugh

I heard Nitta-san cursing at her in a low voice.

I asked Nitta-san secretly what was this girls deal and found out that apparently back in middle school, she was playing basketball and her team reached top four in the prefectural tournament. Though she stopped playing ever since. It was understandable that she would look down on Amami-san and Umi since they were never part of a proper basketball team, but that didnt mean she could be rude about it.

Well, practice hard. At least dont drag me down to your level when the match starts Not like Ill do my best on it though, but at least Ill play to the extent that you wont be a total laughingstock to the whole school.

Sure Dont worry about me.

Mkay, then, Im busy. Have fun with that blabbermouth over there.

Blabbermouth? You know Maki-kun isnt someone like that

You dont need to defend him, Amami Oh wait, is it probably, that?

When Amami-san tried to defend me, Arae-san showed her a wicked smile.

What do you mean?

Nothing~ I was just saying random stuffs~ Anyway, you should just act like an idiot like usual, Amami, bye~

Wait, Arae-san, Im not done

Noisy~ This place is too noisy, I cant hear anything~

She ignored Amami-san and went to the three people waiting for her a little further ahead.

I was pissed that she was slandering me for no reason, but I knew that words wont work for trash like this, so I kept my mouth shut so this farce could end quicker.

I glanced at Nitta-san and together with her, stopped Amami-san from chasing her.

Lame-a** b***h.

At that moment, Umi, who had been watching quietly, let out a murmur, no, it was too loud to be a murmur.

I was wondering why she was so quiet all this time, but it seemed like she had been holding her anger back.
