Chikasugiru Karera no, Juunanasai no Tooi Kankei [LN] V2 Chapter 1.5

Chapter 1 - After The End Of The Rainy Season

When I went downstairs to get a drink a little later, Yuriko was just coming out the door.

"Oh. You came down?"

"Yeah. I came to get water."

I see, Yuriko said.

"What about you?"

"I was just going to use the toilet. Hey, by the way, do you have any video games? The movie's over."

"I have a soccer game."

"Oh. that's good. Then let's do it with the three of us."

Thinking for a moment, I nodded. While I had been upstairs earlier, I was still curious about what kind of atmosphere and what kind of conversation Yuriko and Izumi were having together after all.

Yuriko said, "Then, please." and rattled open the bathroom door.

I went into the living room. Then, "What's wrong?" Izumi, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa, looked back at me and said,

"Yuriko wants to play soccer with us."

"Oh, I want to play too. Come to think of it, we haven't played since the test was over."

"Now that you mention it, yeah."

I took the game console out from under the TV stand and turned it on. While the game was running, Yuriko came back into the living room and sat down next to Izumi again. I sat down in a dining chair a short distance away from the sofa, put the game in versus mode, and handed the two controllers to Izumi and Yuriko.

"Thank you."

"Thanks."

Yuriko looked fearless and Izumi looked excited as they accepted the controller. I had played this game with Izumi several times since we first played it when my brother came to visit.

So she was able to operate the game without looking at her hand every single time, for now. As for Yuriko, she had often played the same series of games with our teammates when we were in elementary school, so she should be able to play without any problems.

At the team selection screen, Izumi chose Argentina. She liked Argentina because of its "cute white and light blue uniforms." Not knowing anything about soccer tactics or anything like that, Izumi left the formation as the default. Her form of attack consisted of burly dribble penetration using powerful front-line players and shots released at unpredictable times that only an amateur soccer player could predict.

As for Yuriko, she chose Germany. They have always been her favorite national team.

---This girl is serious.

Yuriko was fiddling around with the formation, even down to the distance between the defensive line and the front line. Her eyes were serious.

Izumi's arms are slender as she holds the controller. The difference between them is obvious when they are side by side with Yuriko, who has a brownish tan. I couldn't help but think, "White."

As the game began, Yuriko quickly scored on the first play, breaking down the defense with an exchange of passes between the forwards. The shot roughly hit the net. "Wow, you're good, Mori-san," Izumi said carefreely, while Yuriko gave a small triumphant pose.

A somewhat unrest atmosphere was beginning to emerge.
