>>5709201<span class="mu-g">“…Eh… I saw that’s how they do on TV…”</span> you reply carefully, <span class="mu-g">“The goalkeeper moves… towards…for angles… and stuff…”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Hah?! Why would you do that?!”</span> shouts Watase, <span class="mu-g">“This is a friendly event match! I’m not gonna go all out! I’m almost double everyone’s size and weight!”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“…Well…”</span> you say, but you can’t come up with a proper excuse.
You just wanted to do right by Enatsu. Did you take the match too seriously?
It seems like Watase has been approaching this match quite differently, more like a job.
You and Enatsu more or less treated this game as a proper match.
One you should try to win. In order for Enatsu to show off her abilities as an idol.
<span class="mu-g">“You could’ve ended up in the hospital if we slammed into each other!”</span> shouts Watase as she points an accusing finger, <span class="mu-g">“NEVER do that again.”</span>

Meanwhile on the broadcast…
@Rowboats1293: bro… five?
@YaBoiGhoulman3: FIVE ADS IN A ROW? SERIOUSLY?
@Napgang333: I got adblock, but it’s just a black screen with the words ADS for me…
@yuukioniisan: LET ME IIINNNNNNN!!!
<span class="mu-g">“Sit tight, boys, this isn’t for you to see,”</span> says the cameraman, exhaling through his nose in satisfaction.

<span class="mu-g">“… I just didn’t want you to score a goal…”</span> you say, your eyes cast downward.
<span class="mu-g">“Didn’t you work in HR before this?”</span> says Watase, gesturing wildly in disbelief, <span class="mu-g">“Health comes first! Haven’t you noticed how nobody is sliding or tackling?”</span>
You know for a fact that some of the girls even have other jobs lined up right after this one.
Nobody can afford to get hurt.
A few feet away Daigo Noami grimaces as she sucks in a breath through clenched teeth, then quickly takes distance from the conversation.
Luckily most girls are too far away to overhear most of the conversation, though some are slowly closing in to see what the fuss is about.
<span class="mu-g">“I’m sorry…”</span> you say.
Watase sighs heavily, calming down a bit, <span class="mu-g">“Just… be more careful,”</span> she says, then walks away, clutching her shoulder.
Ah, you got scolded by somebody younger than you again…
The coach acting as referee has been keeping his distance from the discussion, but finally cuts in.
He seems to have his own ideas of when he should get involved.
<span class="mu-g">“Goalkeeper kick,”</span> says the referee, handing you the ball.
