"Excuse me, do you want to buy a little bit of food?" (Hitomi)

This is my school’s playground. It’s an 800 meter circle outside of the basketball court and gymnasium. The outdoor basketball court is at the edge of the school and outer-campus wall and I'm in the corner of the wall next to the basketball court.

The basketball court is the activity center of more than 60% of the boys in school. It is also the place where the flow from the sports clubs is the thickest after disbanding. In order to meet the needs of buyers, I bought some drinks and hard candy from the wholesale market and I also brought two pure black towels.

"There’s mineral water, sports drinks, high-energy chocolates and stuff like that. Would you like to buy something?” (Hitomi)

Looking at him, just from his slow reaction, he’s really is angry and funny.

"Well girl, the prices of these things more expensive than outside the school. You see we are students, can’t you charge the same price? You're such a lovely girl, so you shouldn't be hooking up with a kid in school. Why do you want to do this in the school? ”

I sighed to myself. So far, only three bottles of drink have been sold. Is this because the price is too high?

"No, really, ummm, I just want to have a small profit. If it’s cheap, then don’t say anything else, It will just make me tired.” (Hitomi)

I have to say, this body is really weak. Carrying this suitcase from the school gate, it’s taken me 30 minutes to slowly recover.  I don't really know if this body I have now is me.

Maybe he saw me on the suitcase and I was too miserable to breathe lightly and the last thing I did was sell a bottle of drink and leave. Well, I sold 4 drinks and made $2. I’m tired of being half dead. Electronic products, in the foreseeable future!

There are no star scouts, no campus transformation, no robber, and flat light. Life is like this, hard and tiring.

Lying across the suitcase, feeling the wind on my body. I watch the basketball arc cross the sky.

Wait a minute! Basketball?!

“Guys, let's play basketball! Hey, don't ignore me! I'm strong!” (Hitomi)

The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, as I remembered my talent for basketball is realer high.

The boys on the court turn towards me “Huh? Little sister, are you talking to us?”

"Oh, is a cute girl."

"Girl, you succeeded in getting my attention.”

This is the court closest to me. I couldn’t take note of any distinguishing facial features, because I’m quite blind to recognizing faces. It looks like they should be a high school students, but they’re not going to be seniors.

"A little sister with white hair? I've never seen it, so cute. Little sister, if you like basketball, you can cheer for us off the court. If you play basketball with us and get hurt, I will feel bad.”

"Hey, I’m talking about a one-on-one game, you know!?!" (Hitomi)

I shouted at him, as he sneered at me.

"Girls like you are really appetizing. Would you like to come and talk?" ”

"Well, okay, don't make fun of other people's little sister. Such a sweet girl is rare."

"Shit… the little devils are playing too."

Two of them laughed and saying she’s not appetizing.

"If you don’t believe me, it can be a single game. So, I should be able to prove that I have the strength" (Hitomi)

Pulling the suitcase, I walk in their direction. When I got closer, I realized some important problems.

There are 3 of them and the shortest is 1.5 meters and I’m only 1.2 meters. With this huge height difference, I deserve to be laughed at.

"Hey, can you give me the ball first to let me warm up? I haven't touched one for a long time." (Hitomi)　　

Putting the suitcase under the basket, I went to the basketball court. I hold my head up and look at them, feeling no small amount of pressure.

“What? Sure, I'll give it to you!”

With that, he threw the ball.

He stood on the edge of the court and threw the ball in a hard bounce straight at me. I reflexively step in, lower my center of gravity, with hands centered on my chest to catch the ball, but when I touched the ball I felt a huge pressure.

‘No, this ball is too big!’

The ball pushes my hands into my chest and shifts my center of gravity, which, in turn, knocked me over.

"Hey..."

I fell back heavily on the ground and the ball bounced off somewhere. Biting my lip so I don't groan in pain.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing? She's not bothering you, is she?”

"Hey, don’t come onto the court without being ready to get injured. Don’t lay there like an idiot, just looking at your midget body is pissing me off!"

Being heavily hit, I fell sideways to the ground. The right side of my chest is very painful. I bit my lip and try to stand using my left hand, but it’s futile.

"It hurts... It really hurts..." [What I don’t really know is it’s not so painful, since I’m numb. Oh, damn it! Why can't I stand up?!!] (Hitomi)

A pair of arms picked me up by my armpits and set me down in a place that seemed to be soft and comfortable.

"Aren't you too much? She’s harmless, why do you do this to her? She didn't offended you, did she?”

The voice came from behind me and I was caught within his arms. It might be my imagination, but the pain seems to be weaker, although my mind has yet to slow down.

The guy who passed me the ball didn't say anything and left.

"Little Sister, I’m sorry. My friend is actually very proud. You don’t need to know him. You just sit in my arms and rest. I didn’t think that your body was so weak."

"You don’t need to deal with this kind of thing" (Hitomi)

I turn my head and don't want to say anything more. I just feel his warm embrace. I don’t want to move.

 

"Hey, Big Brother. If you have a little more time, please stay with me for a little bit. I’m a little bit attached." (Hitomi)
