In the end, the celebration lunch ended up peacefully, and although it was strange to invite the players from the team that they defeated yesterday to join the party, all the Tsunemori players accepted this, not even batting their eye at the group of strangers in front of them. Fortunately, even though the schedule was pretty tight–only seven days before the semifinal game started–Akira was still kind enough to give them a day off, or they would have collapsed on the spot if the coach forced them to train more.
A day later, they were back to the school with the new spirit. Not only were they refreshed by the important day off that the coach gave, but the warm greeting from all the residents of the school was also enough to feed their ego for the next twenty years.
"Good job, Yuki-kun! I know you can do it!"
"Riku-sama! Please, marry me!"
"No, he is my husband!"
"Yuki-kun, may I have a photo?"
"Hey, I am first!"
"Don't push around like that! Yuki-kun is mine!"
