Regarding my opening of the harem in the comprehensive world

"Clang!"

This time, however, Lady Luck wasn't on the side of the women's basketball club, or maybe True Sail was just too nervous. The basketball hit the rim and flew far away.

"What?!" , True Sail watched incredulously as the basketball flew out, every shot was crucial at this critical moment for the almost defenseless group. And just at this critical moment, Zhenfan shot confidently, and just missed.

The men's club grabbed the rebound and sprinted straight to the women's club basket for a fast break. The score was completely wide open, 33-36. unless Chihuahua could make another 2+1 or score two more goals in a row in this mere minute. Otherwise....

"I'm sorry, everyone, I, I...", True Sail's eyes were already filled with tears, apologizing to everyone repeatedly, like a child who made a mistake, bowing his head deeply.

Ji Hua quickly comforted Zhen Fan: "You don't have to blame yourself ah, everyone will have a slip up, it's okay, we just have to work hard to get the score back."

"That's right, it's only 3 points behind, we can get it back." , Sae, who was always strict, also consoled Makifumi, this was a bad time for everyone.

"Cheer up! Don't give up!"

The sound from beside them woke Chihuahua and the others. I saw Coach Subaru expand his hand into a horn shape and shout towards them.

"Fightfight, girls' basketball club!"

Subaru's voice of encouragement infected others as well, and all the spectators who supported the women's basketball club shouted in unison in solidarity.

"Everyone...", Makifumi looked at the scene with a touched smile that gradually blossomed, "Thank you, Subaru! We won't give up!"

"Women's basketball club, come serve!"

The referee was starting to push too.

"Guys, get on it! To protect our precious place!"

Ji Hua held the amulet in her hand and said firmly.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded, also holding the amulet, and said in unison.

"FIGHT!"

Chapter 43 - Elementary school is awesome!

"Go for it! Women's Basketball Club! Come on, come on! Women's basketball club!"

The crowd's shouts hadn't stopped since earlier. There was also less than a minute left on the clock.

Subaru watched the current battle nervously. Was it really still going to be that way? I didn't want to use it myself, but now, I couldn't care less about sportsmanship....

Chihuahua's breathing was beginning to quicken, and in just a few minutes, Chihuahua attacked while trying her best to defend Takenaka, her energy was draining fast.

"Hyuga!"

"Oh~ Chihuahua~~"

Jihana passes the ball to Hyuga then darts around Takenaka and catches Hyuga's return pass again, a fake shakes up the defense in the penalty area, and jumps the instant the defense falls, the basketball is in the net again. The gap between the two sides was only one point, but with just over half a minute left, the ball was in the men's basketball club.

"Hyuga-san, it's now, go defend Takenaka!"

Subaru shouted towards the arena and gave the task of defending the men's basketball club ace, Takenaka, to Hyuga, the least physically active member of the team.

Pretty crazy decision, wasn't it? Subaru thought to himself, and gradually smiled as he watched Hyuga go straight across the halfway line to block Takenaka. It was crazy, but it was well founded!

"Oh~~ not letting you pass~~"

Hyuga bounced over to Takenaka, both hands open and looking at him seriously.

Takenaka: "Hyuga?!!!"

Hyuga's sudden defense also caught Takenaka off guard, and although it was subtle, you could notice Takenaka's face redden slightly if you got close enough. Takenaka gradually slowed down his dribbling, his eyes never moving away from Hyuga since the beginning.

"No, no, no!"

Takenaka shakes his head violently, this is an important moment in the game, one should concentrate! Takenaka was no longer confused and dribbled faster, ready to take the ball straight around Hyuga and bring it across half-court. However, just as Takenaka rounded Hyuga, he was still unable to avoid hitting Hyuga's arm.

"Yah~~~"

Hyuga fell straight backwards to the ground, and seeing Hyuga fall Takenaka also stopped dribbling and looked at Hyuga, who fell to the ground in surprise.

"Beep-! A foul with the ball!"

"HEY?!!!"

Takenaka cried out in shock, looking at the referee and then at Hyuga, wanting to say something but always unable to get the words out of his mouth, and finally just dropping the ball with his head hanging in frustration.

"Nah, Subaru, I don't think that ball from Takenaka just hit Hyuga, right?"

Misao quietly elbowed Subaru and whispered.

Subaru shook his head and said just as quietly, "No, Hyuga-san actually faked the fall."

"Then why..."

Subaru knew that Mihoshi wanted to ask why Takenaka didn't reflect to the judge. Subaru smiled faintly and told Mihoshi about his conversation with Saiki the other day.

"So, it's true that Takenaka has a crush on Hyuga?" , Subaru and Saji were sitting outside the gym, Subaru looked thoughtful.

Saji nodded, "Yes, Haruyo thinks he's hiding it well, but in fact, the whole class knows about Haruyo's little heart for Hyuga, and they're the only two who don't know it yet."

Subaru stroked his chin, "Is that so..."

"Is it possible, Subaru-san, that you want to take advantage of this?"

Subaru smiled, "Just still thinking about it, after all..."

"Subaru-nii-san, you don't think we have the luxury of caring about sportsmanship at this point?"

"I see." , Subaru nodded, "I'll make arrangements when it's absolutely necessary."

Back to the present.

Understanding Subaru's meaning, Mihoshi chimed in, "So, you took advantage of Takenaka's affection for Hyuga?"

"Well, it sounds pretty mean, though..."

"Pah! Snap! Pop!"

Subaru hadn't finished his words when a sudden voice from the stadium interrupted him, and looking over to the source of the voice, Takenaka was standing there with some redness still on his face, cheering himself up like he was going back inside the team.

"Haha, that guy, he's a real trump card too." , Subaru laughed lightly and shook his head, if Takenaka was lost in this until the end of the game, Subaru really looked down on him, now it seemed that an ace was an ace after all, the leader of the team.

Back on the field, the ball was handed over, but now, it was only about 20 seconds. The men's club is well aware that they don't have a chance for the next attack, and the only thing they have to do now is to stop the women's club's last attack. This last shot decided whether or not the women's basketball club would be scrapped and whether or not the men's basketball club would enjoy six days of practice. Everyone subconsciously held their breath, concentrating on this last ball showdown.

As soon as the ball was served, the battle had begun, and the men's basketball club abandoned the rest of the team, leaving two to defend the penalty area and three to cover Chihuahua, who was receiving the ball at the midfield line.

Chihuahua tried to attack a few times, but all of them were blocked back, and it could be said that the three men's defense was practically without any dead ends, and no matter how much Chihua tried to fake moves, it was impossible for her to shake the three men at the same time. On the contrary, under the blockade of the three, it became very difficult for Ji Hua to even pass the ball.

Chihuahua... Subaru looked at Chihuahua who kept trying to attack.

Time was gradually running out, with 10 seconds left.

"It's our victory, gather!"

Takenaka, who was located in the middle of the trio's defense, was smiling proudly, unable to wait to taste the impending victory.

"How is it possible...", Jihana was still looking for a breakthrough.

9........

8........

7........

"How is it possible...", the attack was blocked once again, the blocked line of sight allowing Chihuahua to not see where her teammates were.

6........

5........

"How can you just give up!!!" , Chihuahua shouted, jumped up high and threw the basketball in his hands, which gradually flew towards the basket....

4........

"Leave it to me! Kochihana!"

Everyone was paying attention to the basketball when a voice suddenly rang out.

The basketball was seen falling, held steady by a pair of hands, and a strand of blonde hair was hanging down.

"True Sail?!" , Subaru who was off the field couldn't help but shout out.

It turns out that Chihuahua, who had never thought to shoot from the beginning, what appears to be a broken midcourt line shot is actually a pass to Manabu, who doesn't know when he's in position.

3........

2........

"Give-me-in-go-ah!!!! "

True Sail jumped up and shot, expending what was left, all of his energy, and threw the basketball, with his desire, hard.

1........

"Wh-"

The clock turned to zero, the timer reported the sound, and the basketball was still flying through the air.

"THUD!"

The basketball hit the ground and rolled away to the side.

"Beep - game over, 38-37, girls basketball club wins!"

"Yay!!!"

After the referee's announcement, the scene had completely boiled over, and even those who were cheering for the men's basketball club were infected by the atmosphere and cheered for the women's basketball club's victory.

"Great! We won!"

The little lollies were hugging each other, tears wetting their eyes without realizing it. Even Hyuga had tears in the corners of her eyes, even though she was rubbing against them.

Subaru didn't make a sound, smiling from the side.

The little girls suddenly rushed together and hugged Subaru, who was caught off guard, tightly.

"Thank you! Subaru (brother) (Oni-san)!"

Subaru was stunned at first, then smiled and took turns ruffling the little lorises' hair. Although there seemed to be a murderous sight next to them...but what the heck!

Really, school kids are awesome!

Chapter 44 - Celebration

"Uh - that, to celebrate the women's basketball club's victory today and the protection of their place, cheers!" , Subaru said, standing up and raising the orange juice in his hand.

"Cheers!"

At Subaru's house, the lollies clinked glasses with Subaru, and even though it was just drinks, the lollies seemed much more excited and happy than the drinkers.

"Meowhaha, let go of your stomach and eat! Today I'll let you try the family's secret roast!"

Mihoshi brought out the plate with the roast meat from the kitchen and smiled boldly.

Manami peeked out at the platter of grilled meat and exclaimed, "Wow, where's the grilled meat, Chihuahua, your favorite food is up!"

"Shish shish shish shish what's the roast, what are you talking about, True Sail!" The other lollies laughed at the scene, but only Subaru, who was still in the dark, could not understand why everyone was laughing.

The other loli saw this scene and laughed heartily at each other, only Subaru was still in the dark, not understanding why everyone was suddenly laughing.

"By the way, I really didn't expect that last ball today, I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought you were a crack shot, Jihana."

"Hey? Why do you think so? That ball will definitely be passed to Manabu."

Tomohana looked strange, and the other lorises took it for granted, not understanding for a moment why Subaru said that.

Subaru was also confused, "Why? What makes you so sure that True Sail is there?"

"Even if you ask why...", Jihana and the other members of the group looked at each other for a few moments, and Makifumi continued, "That's all I can say."

"Meowhaha, Subaru, just don't get to the bottom of it." , Mihoshi patted Subaru's shoulder and nodded to herself, "It's a unique telepathic connection between girls, I think I had it when I was younger."

"Huh? When you were young, Miss Mee Sing? Who's so unlucky to be telepathic with you..."

Boom!

Subaru didn't even finish his sentence, and then he was kicked off the couch by Mishinari, who said, "Go to hell!
