Hi, everyone! It looks like you have been surprised right now that the view counts of my series Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts are almost reaching 100,000 view counts when I checked it earlier. It's currently 99,966, which means that only 34 view counts away from reaching that milestone!
Aw, I'm so close to celebrate this, but I'm feeling very confident for me to see that because the last update that I posted, which it was very gleaming and blooming as I did that to dedicate this to Kaori Maeda, the voice actress of Shizuku Ōsaka of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. Of course, not only Shizuku is one of my favorite characters of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, but Kaori is one of my favorite seiyus of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.:) It was so great that I have been interested in anime since I decided to start writing Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts nearly four years ago and now, it's about time that I'm going to elevate this into bigger challenges to come!;) I'm totally surprised that the view counts have been stable for recent weeks and it seems that I'm going to be happy that it will reach 100,000 view counts later tonight, but thank goodness, you're all checking in right because I'm right here to post today's update, which will be focusing on Asami Inagaki, the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Setagaya. It's going to be fantastic if I'll be celebrating that milestone today, but I'll save it in the next update, everyone!;) So, get ready because this is my time to celebrate this milestone for hard work and determination to make everyone blessed and inspired for sure!:)
Before you’ll read this update, this one will be dedicated to three voice actresses: Ayuru Ōhashi, Yurina Uchiyama and Rena Maeda. They have the same birthday as their birthdays are today (April 28). Born in Tokyo, Ayuru is a voice actress and singer that famously known as the voice actress of Eila Ilmatar Juuntiainer (Strike Witches) and Anju Yūki (Love Live!, representing A-RISE). She is also the voice actress of Oryō (Girl und Panzer) and Momo Aoki (High School Fleet). Coming out from Aichi, Yurina is voice actress and singer and the leader of the girl group DIALOGUE+ as she is the voice actress of Haruna Mutsuishi of AiRBLUE and AiRBLUE Flower from CUE! And last but not the least, hailing from Fukuoka, Rena is the voice actress of Riri Higashi (Dropout Idol Fruit Tart), Matsuko Arita (Tari Tari) and Kaori Asakura (YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of this World). Of course, she is not related to Kaori Maeda, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and the voice actress of Shizuku Ōsaka. Kaori’s birthday was last April 25 (Sunday). I hope that those three will continue making progress of their voice acting careers, especially to Yurina as she’s continuing making her way to groom her music career as she is representing DIALGOUE+ with Nene Hieda, Kyōka Moriya, Yūna Ogata, Ayaka Takamura, Saki Miyahara, Mayu Iizuka and Manatsu Murakami. Happy birthday, Ayuru, Yurina and Rena!:) Now, it’s time to cap off the month of April with today’s update as we’re heading back to Setagaya to witness Asami and her friends gathering together at the Inagaki Residence!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES”
CHAPTER 35: “FRIENDS AND ALLIES CELEBRATE A GOOD FRIENDSHIP WITH ASAMI”
Date: May 1, 2010 (Saturday)
This side chapter is focused on Asami Inagaki, the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Setagaya, and her group, the Tamagawa Redhawks, as they’re inviting the close friends of Asami to a gathering at the Inagaki Residence.
At the Inagaki Residence, the close friends of Asami were invited by Asami to a gathering being made possible by her and her fellow groupmates from the Tamagawa Redhawks where this will be their day to celebrate their good friendship with her. They were all gathered up alongside Asami and the members of the Tamagawa Redhawks where they’re going to have their conversation at the living room.
Tamagawa Redhawks: Mika Shimamoto, Toshikazu Oikawa, Takako Ashida, Mariko Sakiyama, Aiko Mizuhara, Toyoko Akasaki, Kaede Katsumata, Fumiya Yamaguchi, Satoshi Hirayama, Michihiko Kitamura, Naruhisa Komiya, Haruki Sakuragawa, Motoyuki Koyama, Saki Yasuoka and Rikako Matsuyama
Close Friends of Asami Inagaki: Mayu Konohata, Chiharu Yuiga, Sanae Arigaki, Iori Honnizumi, Motoichi Wakasa, Yoshihiko Kamiya, Fumihiro Hanazono, Yoshitaka Fukushima, Fumiko Miyamoto, Ruka Yahsiro and Kazunori Itagashi
“I know that you’re all excited for this because today’s a special day for everyone where we’re going to get along with each other in a gathering” said Asami.
“That’s right, Asami-san! To celebrate the good friendship between Asami and her friends, we have invited not only from our group, the Tamagawa Redhawks” said Mika Shimamoto, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School and one of the co-leaders of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“But the selected close friends of Asami to gather round, so that we’ll have a marvelous activity to remember” said Toshikazu Oikawa, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School and the other co-leader of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“So, while my fellow groupmates from the Bravehearts of Setagaya are having their own activity with the friends of their own, we will organize this right here because it’s cozy and peaceful to stay here” said Asami.
“Hopefully, you’re going to get thrilled when we’re getting along with each other” said Maki.
“And make each of us happy to keep the friendship for all of us. Right, guys?” said Toshikazu.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Tamagawa Redhawks and the close friends of Asami.
“Great! As you all know, the Bravehearts of Setagaya had begun speculations about the extended group system, which happened to be rolling in various areas” said Asami.
“Especially in Ōta where a few mainstream groups have formed their own extended groups” said Mika.
“That’s why the extended group system had started to evolve different groups into a super group of friends and allies that supports one braveheart member” said Toshikazu.
“That’s a cool information out there, guys! I never heard about that thing before when some elites have wanted to have a bigger community to work together as a whole” said Mayu Konohata, a first year middle school student from the Seta Middle School and a close friend of Asami.
“It’s so interesting to see those kind of community groups having their time to bless their community with their own representation because this is what they need to make their community being blessed” said Chiharu Yuiga, a first year middle school student from the Seta Middle School and a close friend of Asami.
“Whenever they’re here, they have to show their willpower to prove that they’re ready to shine together for sure” said Sanae Arigaki, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Middle School and a close friend of Asami.
“I agree, girls. Tsuyoshi told me that the extended group system had been existed when there are some groups and partners have decided to team up with one of the members of a braveheart group” said Asami.
“It was first seen in Fukuoka after the Bravehearts of Fukuoka began to extend their organization by partnering with their own allies” said Takako Ashida, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Tamagawa Redhawks. She’s also the cousin of Kōme Ogi through the Ogi-Kitazawa clan.
“They said that this will allow the bravehearts to get blessed with their friends and allies going to support them” said Mariko Sakiyama, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“Which they want to organize future activities with them, so that they’ll be able to bless their community and everyone will be ready to get involved in being part of them” said Aiko Mizuhara, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“Ah, I see. I never imagine that the extended groups have been known for better friendship, thus it’s so nice that a lot of bravehearts have their own followers to be honest” said Mayu.
“They said that they are feeling delighted to have their friends trying to support, which is why they want to get involved in making the community being blessed without losing their hopes and dreams” said Chiharu.
“I say that it’s very important that if you want to build your own base, you have to team up with your friends, so that you’re going to make the moves to get everyone involved in developing a great friendship with them” said Sanae.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Asami and the members of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“So, it’s very challenging that the extended group system had made everyone being ready for a better friendship to make them happy to be with the bravehearts, but there are some facts that they have their own set of friends, based on where they come from and the image color that they have” said Iori Honnizumi, a second year middle school student from the Tamgawa Middle School and a close friend of Asami.
“It’s going to be great that it will be a colorful revolution to witness extended groups being able to run their way to bless the community together. Hopefully, we can have one for sure” said Motoichi Wakasa, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Middle School and a close friend of Asami.
“Yes, I believe that there will be one in Setagaya, Motoichi-san. We weren’t ready to make the difference yet, but we already have some plans in trying to make extended groups for each mainstream group that is part of the Bravehearts of Setagaya” said Asami.
“Starting from our group until the Junior Azure Knights, we have our own settlements to make a blueprint on forming an extended group and one day, we’ll be able to do that once everyone agrees to team up with us” said Mika.
“So, we’re about to show you what the structure of our extended group would be like” said Toshikazu.
“I agree, Toshikazu-san” said Asami with a smile on her face before asking her close friends. “Now, are you going to see this?”
“Yeah!” said the close friends of Asami.
“Then, take a look at this!” said Asami as she and Mika have revealed the structure of the planned extended group of the Tamagawa Redhawks to the close friends of the former. The structure was made in a white cartolina. “If you look at the structure, our extended group will be planned to divide into three groups. Those were the groups that are coming from my close friends, the groups that are from my hometown, but aren’t close to me and the groups that they are not from my hometown.”
“Asami had classified those groups, based on her relationship with different leaders whether they’re close to her or not” said Toyoko Akasaki, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“The close friends of Asami are automatically being part of the first group, which means that they’re actually getting along with Asami for a long time” said Kaede Katsumata, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“However, if a leader of one group isn’t close to Asami, that group will end up being assigned to either those who were from our hometown or those who weren’t. It will depend on where they hometown come from” said Fumiya Yamaguchi, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“There’s no question if their main color is red or not because it’s everyone’s group to get assigned through different groups and so, it will be great that it will be a colorful revolution to witness this” said Satoshi Hirayama, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“I believe that the structure would be fit for everyone to join, based on the relationship between them and Asami, but this would be tricky if some of them haven’t become friends with her yet” said Yoshihiko Kamiya, a second year middle school student from the Fukusawa Middle School and a close friend of Asami.
“However, since we’re in Futako-Tamagawa, there will be some groups that might end up joining the first two because they have their pride to show up” said Fumihiro Hanazono, a first year middle school student from the Seta Middle School and a close friend of Asami.
“That’s right, Fumihiro-san. Some groups will probably end up joining the first two because they were coming from Futako-Tamagawa and they’ll be lucky that they have been closed to Asami at the same time” said Mika.
“Unlike the others that they aren’t friends with her yet where they were just acquaintances or supporters though” said Toshikazu.
“Well, I believe that some groups will be getting more blessings if their leaders have been close to Asami, but it would be better if they’ll have another structure to go with” said Mayu.
“Like by geographical assignment” said Chiharu.
“That would be nice if you’ll have another version of that structure!” said Sanae.
“Yeah, we should have created another idea where we’re going to make another structure to represent through geographical locations, but I think that those who were close to me may deserve to have their own group. I decided to have at least three groups to be made, but I hope that I can re-organize the structure if there will be new members to join my extened group” said Asami.
“Ah, okay. I see what you’re thinking about, Asami-san. I think that we should look at different extended groups from different places before you’ll make some changes in your structure” said Mayu.
“Which means that it would be nice to change the structure into something geographical, based on the location of their groups” said Chiharu.
“Or you might want to merge the first two groups into just one solid group while the other will stayed as it is” said Sanae.
“I guess that I can one of those if I want to, but I’ll have to think about it for now” said Asami.
“Okay, Asami-san” said Mayu, Chiharu and Sanae.
“What about your relatives if they want to join your circle of friends? Would it be better if to have them join?” asked Iori.
“Well, I’m not sure about this, Iori-san, but I’m feeling that my siblings can join because they’re part of my family. This should be great to have a connected family matter to have us helping together” said Asami.
“Ah, I see. I believe that they’ll be going to partner with you because they have their own groups to assemble” said Iori.
“Of course, they have. My older sister Tomoko had formed the Setagaya Camellias, which is composed of her and her schoolmates in her section. Yūta and Yūji have their own groups known as the Azure Camellia and the Futako-Tamagawa Red and Azure Mavericks. On the other hand, my younger sister Yumiko didn’t form her own group because she’s too young to form it, but she was able to support my group” said Asami.
“Those groups are looking forward to support you, Asami-san! You must be determined when it comes to family matters” said Iori.
“Yeah! Any braveheart can allow his or her family can be part of an extended group” said Motoichi.
“That way, they’re going to get involved in blessing them and their group for sure” said Yoshitaka Fukushima, a first year middle school student from the Seta Middle School and a close friend of Asami.
“Well, I hope that they will join, to be honest. You never know that they’re motivated to bless me and my group” said Asami.
“Yeah!” said Iori, Motoichi and Asami.
“Aside from Asami’s siblings, there were other possible names that they’ll join our extended group such as Ayumi Kashiwagi, Wataru Kondō and Miyaka Kawada” said Mika.
“Those guys were also from Futako-Tamagawa, but they’re coming from a different school known as the Futakogaisen Middle School” said Toshikazu. “Studying at that school, Ayumi is a second year middle school student while Wataru and Miyaka are first year students.”
“That school had the same reputation as our school, but of course, their enrollment numbers aren’t much increasing compared to our school” said Takako.
“The students in Futakogaisen are wearing blue blazer and skirt for the girls and blue polo shirt and long pants for the boys” said Mariko.
“They said that they’re good learners that they want to excel in academics, but they also want to become good scholars in the future” said Aiko.
“The demographics of that school is that most of them were coming from urban-based areas in Setagaya incuding our home” said Toyoko.
“Which means that they’re hard working students because they are aiming to be the best and then, enroll to any prestigious high school” said Kaede.
“Wow! That school was so popular with a lot of students have enrolled there!” said Mayu.
“It’s great that there’s another school that had been competing for the best” said Chiharu.
“Which means that it would be interesting if they’ll clash with smarts to see who’s proving better” said Sanae.
“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“Futakogaisen had been considered one of the prestigious schools in Setagaya, but Tamagawa Gakuen had also been prestigious because of good quality of education” said Mika.
“That’s why young people said that a lot of schools that are located between the borders of Setagaya and Ōta were prestigious, which is why everyone had been interested to go there for better quality of education” said Toshikazu.
“So that, one day, they’ll be ready to excel for more in high school” said Fumiya.
“I’m sure that those guys are Futakogaisen have been interested to join our extended group because they know about Asami” said Mayu.
“They have been acquaintances to her since they have known with each other” said Chiharu.
“They might be fans of hers, of course!” said Sanae.
“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“I’m so excited that you have some friends on your side being interested in joining your extended group!” said Fumiko Miyamoto, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Middle School and a close friend of Asami.
“That would be great if we can gather them all for sure!” said Ruka Yahsiro, a second year middle school student from the Seta Middle School and a close friend of Asami.
Asami giggles without losing her cool before speaking to Fumihiro and Ruka. “Well, we can’t do that yet, guys! I was just planning about this. Right, Mika-san and Toshi-san?”
“Yeah!” said Mika and Toshikazu.
“We haven’t started this yet because we’re not a complete team” said Mika.
“However, we have looked at the friends of Asami first before we want to add them up to our list, so that they will get invited to join our extended group” said Toshikazu.
“So, how does the process go?” asked Fumihiro.
“The first thing that we did is that we talked to Asami about her friends that she had been closed to and then, we list the names out here” said Mika.
“Which is why she called them as the ‘trusted ones’ because she had felt delighted to be with them for a long time” said Takako.
“And then, we decided to look on their profile if they have a group or not” said Toshikazu.
“As a result, those groups may end up being part of the first group, which it will be composed of all groups that have been close to Asami” said Mariko.
“If a close friend of Asami doesn’t have a group, he or she may be exempted to be part of the first group because they have their own synchronizationized relationship with her” said Aiko.
“That’s right, Aiko-san. Anyone will be part of the first group, which means that they’ll be appreciated to be part of my circle of friends for sure” said Asami.
“Ah, I see! I think that the groups that they have are deserved to be part of your circle of friends because their leaders have been getting along with you at all” said Fumihiro.
“Their friendship level with you had been doing well” said Ruka.
“Escpecially for us!” said Kazunori Itagashi, a first year middle school student from the Seta Middle School and a close friend of Asami.
“We don’t want to lose you” said Mayu.
“Since we got your back to support us!” said Chiharu.
“Of course, guys! You got my back to make sure that I’ll be blessed by everyone. That’s why it’s going to be better that everyone on my side have to show their compassion to me because they will be glad to get along with me and make their friendship level with me will be growing. I hope that you’re going to be prepared for this once I’ll invite your groups to join my circle of friends. What do you think?” said Asami.
“Yeah, Asami-san!” said the close friends of Asami.
“That means, once her circle of friends will be formed…” said Mika.
“…it’s going to be great that we’re going to organize future activities that will shine our community to make blessings for them” said Toshikazu.
“Yeah, we agree!” said the close friends of Asami.
“On the other hand, we also make plans about the friends of Tomoka in our hometown where we want to have them part of our extended group” said Takako.
“That’s a good one, Takako-san! But who’s Tomoka?” said Sanae.
“Tomoka is the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Ōta, which is led by Subaru Hasegawa. Tomoka was said to be one of the girls that have been part of the Keishin Academy Elementary School girls’ basketball team on their first season” said Takako.
“One thing about Tomoka is that she had the same potential as Asami because they have the same skills that they used to shine” said Mariko.
“That’s why there are some supporters in our hometown have supported Tomoka” said Aiko.
“Which means that aside from those who have supported Asami, there were some guys who wanted to support for someone else” said Fumiya.
“And so, we want to convince the supporters of Tomoka to be part of our circle, so that they will be able to partner with them to organize collaborative activities with Tomoka’s group” said Satoshi.
“Which is the Family of Angels” said Michihiko Kitamura, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“That’s a nice name of that group! I think that they’re angelic because they want to make everyone feel happy to be with them” said Sanae.
“Yes, they were, Sanae-san” said Michihiko.
“I’m not familiar with that group before, but they’re seemed to be blessed for her” said Mayu.
“And they have shown their respect for her because they want to support her career to make sure that she’ll be able to shine her way to become a superstar” said Chiharu.
“Yes, they were. They recently planned to form their own extended group” said Naruhisa Komiya, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“Which means that if happens, we’re going to have a plan to collaborate with them in the future” said Toyoko.
“So that, we’ll be able to work together to bless everyone” said Kaede.
“Ah, that sounds like a big plan to meet up with the other groups in Ōta, guys. I didn’t expect that you want to partner with them” said Mayu.
“Oh, I’m so excited about this! We can do that once everyone settles for a partnership to be made” said Chiharu.
“That way, we’re going to bless everyone in the community” said Sanae.
“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“We all know that Tomoka had blessed everyone in her community, especially to her close friends that she had and of course, I want to do the same thing because as I’m the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Setagaya, I want to make the difference to make sure that everyone on my side will be gratified to bless me. It helps me being a braveheart and I want to continue my basketball career, so that I’ll shine with my moves” said Asami.
“That’s good, Asami-san! I know who you feel motivated to represent your group” said Mayu.
“I’m so proud of you because you’re always shining for your varsity team” said Chiharu.
“It gives me goosebumps when you step up to shine with your moves” said Sanae.
“Hopefully, you’ll be able to make your way to the top if you want to become a superstar” said Motoichi.
“A dream may turn into a reality if you want to have that to happen” said Yoshihiko.
“Of course, Yoshihiko-san! There’s no way I will let them down because I’m here to shine for them! You can count on me if you want to!” said Asami.
“Yeah!” said the close friends of Asami.
“We’re counting on you, Asami-san!” said Mayu.
“You’ll shine your way in no time!” said Chiharu.
“You got it!” said Asami.
“I can’t wait to see what our future would be like when you’re going to create your own circle of friends!” said Mayu.
“It seems that you’re thrilled to make us part of your circle and hopefully, we’ll help you in making the extended group of your group blooming” said Chiharu.
“So that, it’s going to be nice that we’re going to plan future activities to make everyone ready to ready to get involved and contribute” said Sanae.
“Yeah, I agree, girls! Every braveheart had their own ambition to form his or her own circle of friends, so that they’ll work together to form an extended group of one’s group and I believe that we’re ready for this” said Asami.
“That’s right, Asami-san! Not only our Tamagawa Redhawks have been ready for this, but also the other mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Setagaya have been pumped up to form their extended groups as well!” said Mika.
“It’s going to be nice that everyone will work together to bless their community, so that they’ll get blessed with the blessings that they have” said Toshikazu.
“If we want to expect better things to come, then we’ll ready to work together as an extended group. Right, guys?” said Takako.
“Yeah!” said the close friends of Asami.
“There! I knew that your enthusiasm hadn’t been lost!” said Takako.
“That makes us feel happy!” said Mariko.
“Yeah!” said the close friends of Asami.
“By the way, everyone, I still have one thing to discuss before we’re going to have so much fun to do for the rest of the day” said Asami.
“Ah, you still have one thing to discuss?” asked Mayu.
“Seriously?” queried Chiharu.
“Yep! You see, the Red and Fuchsia Sentinel have currently been formed last spring, in which the purpose of this is to maintain the partnership between me and Tomoka. My friends have already mentioned about Tomoka and I know that you want to see her, right?” said Asami.
“Yeah!” said the close friends of Asami.
“So, in order to make that happen, I had some plans to make and of course, we’re going to explain this right now” said Asami as she’s going to explain the plans that will be made soon. “First, we’re going to pay a visit to her hometown, probably by the end of the month.”
“Which will be right after the mid-term examination week” said Mika.
“Oh, I see that point, girls. Exams are going to be stressful for us” said Mayu.
“But we have to get prepared for this and then, the fun will be up next” said Chiharu.
“Yeah, I agree, girls. Also, there were rumors that Tsuyoshi’s team is planning to meet with Subaru’s team to an exhibition match, which means that it’s going to be very interesting that we will be going to Tomoka’s hometown” said Asami.
“That is, if that planned match had to be approved” said Mika.
“Uh… one question. What school of Subaru that he had studied right now?” said Sanae.
“It’s the Nashiba High School, located in Nishina, Ōta” said Toshikazu.
“That school had used to have their basketball program with their top players coming from Kasuragi and Kirihara” said Takako.
“Well, I remember that team. They used to compete in the Interhigh prefectural tournament where they ended up getting out of the tournament after making it to the final 32” said Sanae.
“They must be shining their way to make it to the top” said Iori.
“Yeah, we agree” said Asami, Mika, Toshikazu and Takako.
“Subaru had been part of that team as the new captain, which means that his numbers may be going up if he wants to step up this year” said Takako.
“After what happened last year when their program had been suspended for some reason” said Mariko.
“Oh, that’s terrible” said Mayu.
“I can’t believe that they didn’t compete last year” said Chiharu.
“It’s so hard that a school had to suspend a program if they have issues that have dealt with” said Sanae.
“What happened to them last year?” asked Iori.
“It appears that their deputy manager had been accused of assaulting the daughter of the athletic director, which violates the law” said Mariko.
“Wow. I never expect that one has to happen” said Iori.
“Yes, indeed” said Mariko.
“Recently, he had been pardoned after he served in a juvenile prison in six months and he went into rehabilitation to improve himself” said Aiko.
“Which he requires anger management and theraphy to improve his ways of being himself” said Takako.
“Then, he also ended up getting a part-time job to his former school as a manager of a basketball team” said Toyoko.
“It’s such a shame that this guy had been punished for his actions that he had happened” said Kaede.
“Yeah, we agree” said the close friends of Asami.
“So, you think that Subaru will try his best to lead his team this year?” asked Fumihiro.
“Of course, he would. I read on an Internet article about his team. He said that he wants to prove that his team will make it to the top this year, so that they’ll make it to the Interhigh Nationals” said Fumiya.
“The Interhigh prefectural tournament will start by next month and it’s going to be a long road for him to make that happen” said Satoshi.
“As a result, his team had now been composed of mostly first years and juniors” said Michihiko.
“Which a lot of media said that they’re the youngest team of the year because they have recruited two guys that aren’t born in Tokyo” said Naruhisa.
“Everyone knows that this team will probably become stronger after most juniors have decided to train of their own” said Haruki Sakuragawa, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“We’re not sure if they’re good enough to make it to the Interhigh Nationals, but it depends on what they’ll do when they’ll warm up for the prefectural tournament” said Motoyuki Koyama, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“Ah, I see. I’m sure that Subaru had been motivated to make his team ready for that upcoming tournament” said Fumihiro.
“His team had looked formidable after his program got suspended last year, thanks to the addition of three new members” said Yoshitaka.
“He must be expressive when it comes to his confidence in making his team going to win the Interhigh prefectural tournament” said Motoichi.
“He won’t be ashamed after all!” said Yoshihiko.
“That’s true, Yoshihiko-san! One time when we saw Subaru in a game at the middle school prefectural tournament, he had been on fire when it comes his deadeye range shots outside the three-point line” said Saki Yasuoka, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“He also dazzled his way by putting some playmaking skills into the test” said Rikako Matsuyama, a first year middle school student from the Tamagawa Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“You’ll believe that he’s going to become a superstar because he had been good enough to make his team going for the rally” said Fumiya.
“Just like Tsuyoshi, who had some relentless finishing moves to prove that he’s the better guy” said Toshikazu.
“A lot of people may love them if they want to see some crazy moves, which brings shockwaves in the arena. Hopefully, they’ll be watched out for more” said Mika.
“Yeah, I agree with that, guys! There were a lot of guys who want to bring their A-game to make sure that they’ll be dazzling through the court and I’m going to say that they’ll be ready to go primetime when they reach to the next level” said Fumihiro.
“It’s like everyone going to show their aura and make some moves. This will be their time to go clutch time or rally though its finest” said Mayu.
“Hopefully, both Subaru and Tsuyoshi are going to clash against each other in the Interhigh prefectural tournament because they’re so amazing to show their true formation and they’re going to prove the best there is” said Chiharu.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Asami and the members of the Tamagawa Redhawks.
“I love to see Tsuyoshi doing his way to shine and dazzle for his team, but I also want to see Subaru too because they’re definitely my top players to watch out this year” said Asami.
“Wait a minute, Asami-san. Did you have friends in Ōta?” said Sanae.
“Yep! I have befriended some guys from Ōta including the friends of my cousin Riruka such as Shuto Kitagawa, Chinami Tsurumaki, Noriyo Kawakita and Kenta Hanamura because they’re very generous to show their compassion and it was so nice that I have gotten along with them” said Asami.
“Ah, I see. Where is she studying now?” said Sanae.
“She’s currently studying at the Keishin Academy Middle School as a third year middle school student” said Asami.
“Ah, I knew it!” said Sanae.
“What is it, Sanae-san?” asked Iori.
“How did you know?” asked Ruka.
“Yeah, tell us about it, Sanae-san!” said Fumiko.
“Sure, I would be glad to” said Sanae with a wink on her face as she is going to explain about what she had seen when she visited the Keishin Academy Middle School. “I had visited that school when there’s a school festival taking place last September and I saw the booth of Riruka’s section where their theme is floral.”
“Oh, it’s beautiful! I never seen that before!” said Iori.
“Yeah, you seemed to know about that one!” said Fumiko.
“I can’t believe that you have seen their design!” said Ruka.
“Yep! That’s where I met Riruka and her classmates where they blessed me to stay here for a while. It was so comfortable to stay there. I wish that I can visit a comfortable place like that” said Sanae.
“Yeah, me too, Sanae-san! I wanna go there!” said Iori.
“Of course, I want to be with you!” said Ruka.
“We should go there to see those again!” said Fumiko.
“Well, you’re thrilled to visit their place, girls, but you’ll have to wait and see for this year. There are no words yet about what they’ll be planning, but it’s going to be a surprise” said Sanae.
“Ah, yeah” said Iori.
“I see” said Ruka.
“I get it now” said Fumiko.
“So, is she and Tomoka are on the same school?” asked Iori.
“Yes, of course, Iori-san! Tomoka had justed entered the middle school as a first year while my cousin had entered as a third year. That’s why they have far from each other, but they’re seemed to know with each other” said Asami.
“That’s nice! I really like it!” said Sanae.
“Yeah, me too!” said Iori.
“Good for her! I’m really proud of her because they have gotten with each other all along” said Fumiko.
“I’m so glad that they have known with each other! Hopefully, they’ll become acquaintances for sure!” said Ruka.
“Yes, they became acquaintances, Ruka-san, when they were part of the Dragons of Ōta, but my cousin didn’t tell me about that group because she said that she had her own group, which is the Seven Shocking Dragons” said Asami.
“Oh, I see. That’s good for her” said Ruka.
“Yeah!” said Asami.
“How did you end up knowing Subaru?” asked Fumihiro.
“Well, I saw Subaru when he was wearing the Kirihara uniform and Tsuyoshi said to me that he was his cousin that shines his way like he was. And so, both Subaru and Tsuyoshi have become known with each other because they’re cousins” said Asami.
“Wow! You’re kidding!” exclaimed Fumihiro.
“No way! Both of them!” said Yoshitaka.
“Subaru and Tsuyoshi were cousins?!” shouted Motoichi.
“Yep! They came from their mother’s clan, the Nagatomo clan” said Asami.
“That clan was one of the members of the Pillars of Chōfu” said Mika.
“Which means that they’re seemed to get along with each other through reunions and gatherings in both Setagaya and Ōta” said Toshikazu.
“I see. I’m so surprised that both guys have their own relationship through one’s clan. I never thought that this one was going to be coincidental. Don’t you think?” said Fumihiro.
“You said it, Fumihiro-san. Tsuyoshi was so blessed with his cousins in his hometown” said Motoichi.
“And when he had organized gatherings with his cousins and friends, he’s very determined to see their smiles all the way” said Yoshihiko.
“Since they were part of the Nagatomo clan, their relationship had been growing because they get along with each other occassionally” said Yoshitaka.
“That’s why Subaru was really honored to be Tsuyoshi’s cousin because they have shown their auras that they’re carrying their respective teams to victory” said Kazunori.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Asami, Mika, Toshikazu and Takako.
“That’s why we have some other plans like (1) organizing a tea party with Tomoka and friends” said Asami.
“(2) setting up a camp at their home” said Mika.
“(3) exploing out with them by visiting some busiest places in Setagaya and Ōta” said Toshikazu.
“and (4) visiting the gardens to see the flowers and trees” said Takako.
“Those plans were good for us to get along with them and if we want to make that happen, Tomoka and I should have a meeting about this, so that in the future, we’re going to visit their home and have the partnership being settled. Okay?” said Asami.
“Okay!” said the members of the Tamagawa Redhawks and the close friends of Asami.
“Then, when’s the right time to go there, Asami-san?” asked Mayu.
“Uh… I’m not sure about this, but once Tomoka and I have agreed the terms to form a partnership, I’ll be obliged to invite you all to visit Tomoka’s hometown” said Asami.
“Ah, that’s very nice, Asami-san! I’m expecting to visit that place!” said Mayu.
“It’s going to be a good one to stay there just for a day!” said Chiharu.
“I think that we’re going to be ready to have a visit on that place” said Motoichi.
“So that, we’ll be able to make new friends for sure!” said Yoshihiko.
“I hope so, guys, but we’ll wait and see” said Asami.
“It’s going to be coming soon” said Mika.
“So, don’t be surprised when Asami will be announcing this right away” said Toshikazu.
“Yeah!” said the close friends of Asami.
“I’ll wrap this up because I’m sure that you’re all excited for the gathering. Right?” said Asami.
“Yeah, Asami-san!” said the close friends of Asami.
“Great! Now, let’s have some fun playing basketball together!” said Asami.
“It’s going to be fun to show your moves!” said Mika.
“And hopefully, you’ll be thrilled to be with us!” said Toshikazu.
“Yeah!” said the close friends of Asami.
“Then, let’s go to my personal basketball court and do this together as a circle of friends!” said Asami.
“Yeah!” said the close friends of Asami while Asami and the members of the Tamagawa Redhawks are smiling on their faces to see their enthusiasm never goes down. Asami had been delighted that she had her friends on her side because they are feeling happy to get along with her and supporting her basketball career. As they have contemplated their future, Asami and her friends are ready to form the extended group of the Tamagawa Redhawks, which will be served as a circle of friends of Asami. Hopefully, it’s going to be great that they’ll work together as an extended group, so that they’ll be blessing their community in Setagaya for sure.
