SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES”
CHAPTER 94: “A LUMINOUS ROUNDTABLE CONVERSATION THAT YOU WILL NEVER MISS!”
Date: May 7, 2010 (Friday)
This side story is focused on Amane Kawada, Ami Kawada, Miyaka Tokita, Ryōma Tokita, Kaoru Iwata, Shōtarō Iwata and Sachio Yamakawa as they are paying a visit to the Misawa Resort Hotel to meet with Satsuki Kakizono, the cousins of Miyaka and Ryōma, and Tae Mishōji, the cousins of Kaoru, Shōtarō and Sachio, at the great banquet that celebrated the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka.
At the entrance of the hall in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel, Amane Kawada, Ami Kawada, Miyaka Tokita, Ryōma Tokita, Kaoru Iwata, Shōtarō Iwata and Sachio Yamakawa are registering their names at the guest list while being joined by their friends. Their friends are composed of Miyoshi Akao, Masahisa Fujisawa, Keita Kumazaki, Chidori Nishijima, Seiko Ozaki, Manabu Kawamura, Tomomi Saeki and Fumiya Yano and they have formed their own group known as the Nishina Red Katana.
Nishina Red Katana: Amane Kawada, Ami Kawada, Miyaka Tokita, Ryōma Tokita, Kaoru Iwata, Shōtarō Iwata, Sachio Yamakawa, Miyoshi Akao, Masahisa Fujisawa, Keita Kumazaki, Chidori Nishijima, Seiko Ozaki, Manabu Kawamura, Tomomi Saeki and Fumiya Yano
“Here you go!” said Miyaka Tokita, a third year middle school student from the Nishina Middle School and the cousin of Satsuki Kakizono.
“We listed our names in the guest list!” said Amane Kawada, a first year high school student from the Nashiba High School and the cousin of Aoi Ogiyama.
“Now, we can attend the great banquet!” said Ami Kawada, a second year middle school student from the Nishina High School and the cousin of Aoi Ogiyama. She’s also the younger sister of Amane Kawada.
“Thank you! Please, enjoy your stay at the hall while celebrating the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka!” said Yūki Iwamura.
“Okay!” said Amane Kawada, Ami Kawada, Miyaka Tokita, Ryōma Tokita, Kaoru Iwata, Shōtarō Iwata and Sachio Yamakawa while the members of the Nishina Red Katana give Yūki a smile on their faces without saying a word. Amane and Ami are the cousins of Aoi, Miyaka and Ryōma are the cousins of Satsuki while Kaoru, Shōtarō and Sachio are the cousins of Tae. Kaoru and Sachio are currently high school students while Miyaka, Ryōma and Shōtarō are currently middle school students.
When they entered the hall, they would be amazed to see a lot of guests coming around to relax and enjoy.
“Wow!” said Miyaka.
“It’s so cool!” said Ryōma Tokita, a first year middle school student from the Nishina Middle School and the cousin of Satsuki Kakizono. He’s also the brother of Miyaka Tokita.
“This is awesome!” said Kaoru Iwata, a second year high school student from the Nashiba High School and the cousin of Tae Mishōji.
“I can’t believe that this is magnificent!” said Shōtarō Iwata, a third year middle school student from the Nishina Middle School and the cousin of Tae Mishōji. He’s also the brother of Kaoru Iwata.
“It looked good to see a lot of people having a great night to get along with each other” said Sachio Yamakawa, a first year high school student from the Nashiba High School and the cousin of Tae Mishōji.
“Yes, indeed, Sachio! This event is going to be fantastic that we will stay there for a few hours. What do you think?” said Miyaka.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Nishina Red Katana.
“Now, we can stay here for the rest of the night, so that we’re going to have some thrills to witness!” said Amane.
“It will be amazing that you’re here, so that you’ll be able to make our cousins proud!” said Ami.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Nishina Red Katana.
“Hey, isn’t that the sister of Satsuki, Miyaka?” asked Miyoshi Akao, a third year middle school student from the Nishina Middle School and a member of the Nishina Red Katana.
“I guess so” said Miyaka.
“It has to be her” said Amane.
“She’s with her friends” said Ami.
“Maybe, we should call her” said Masahisa Fujisawa, a third year middle school student from the Nishina Middle School and a member of the Nishina Red Katana.
“Sure!” said Miyaka with a smile on her face while Amane and Ami nod their heads without saying their words.
Miyoshi and Masahisa would shout together in unison. “Yasue-chan!”
Yasue was chatting with Rumi and Yuiko Ōsaka, the cousins of Shizuku Ōsaka, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, in their own table before looking at Miyaka, Miyoshi and Masahisa. “Hey, my cousin is here!”
“I think that we should meet her, Yasue-san” said Yuiko.
“Yeah, good idea!” said Yasue.
“Let’s greet them!” said Rumi.
“Okay!” said Yuiko as she alongside her sister Yuiko and Yasue to approach Miyaka, Ryōma, Kaoru, Shōtarō, Sachio and the members of the Nishina Red Katana.
“Hey, there you are, guys! It’s so nice that you’re all here for the gathering and you’ll be thrilled that you’re not gonna miss this night!” said Yasue.
“Yeah!” said Amane, Ami, Miyaka, Ryōma, Kaoru, Shōtarō, Sachio and the members of the Nishina Red Katana.
“We’re looking forward to visit your cousin Satsuki” said Miyaka.
“Who is our cousin from her maternal side” said Ryōma. Satsuki and Yasue’s mother Ayako Tokita is the sister of Haruhisa Tokita, the father of Miyaka and Ryōma Tokita.
“Well, I would be glad to get you into my sister because she is with her friends from the Luminous Camellia” said Yasue.
“We would be delighted to accompany you to her if you want” said Rumi Ōsaka, a second year high school student from the Nashiba High School and the leader of the Violet Flower. She’s also the cousin of Shizuku Ōsaka, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, and the older sister of Yuiko Ōsaka.
“So that, you will be able to chime in with them” said Yuiko.
“Okay!” said Amane, Ami, Miyaka, Ryōma, Kaoru, Shōtarō, Sachio and the members of the Nishina Red Katana. Yasue, Rumi and Yuiko would accompany them to the table where Kazunari, Banri, Satsuki and Tae have stayed alongside Chieri, Shizuka and their friends.
Luminous Camellia: Kazunari Uehara, Banri Kashii, Satsuki Kakizono, Tae Mishōji, Ayame Shionji, Aoba Wakayama and Misaki Natsukawa
Team Shionji: Marina Kamiya, Chinami Takao, Kaori Takeuchi, Miho Taneda and Haruka Kajio
Team Uehara-Hirokawa: Chieri Uehara, Shizuka Hirokawa, Hayu Nakamura, Miho Yoshikawa, Shiho Takahara, Ruka Aratani, Kotaro Higashide, Fumiaki Toyokawa and Yoshimasa Matsushita
“Onēchan!” shouted Yasue.
“Oh, Yasue! Why are you here?” surprisingly queried Satsuki.
“We want to accompany our cousins Miyaka and Ryōma to you and your friends out there because they want to get along with you for a while” said Yasue.
“It will be amazing that you guys will be able to make a great conversation about what to for tomorrow” said Rumi.
“Because tomorrow will be the last day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Yuiko.
“Okay, that’s good! You see, we have brought some ideas about what to do for tomorrow” said Satsuki.
“Especially that we will be planning to watch the matches of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup in the outdoor basketball courts and the Recreational Center” said Tae.
“We should be ready for those because we’re greatly motivated to make the Fuchsia and Celadon Week even bloomer and harmonious” said Kazunari.
“As we will be closing out this festivity tomorrow night at the beachfront” said Banri.
“It will be very interesting to join with us if you want to make your ideas out there” said Chieri.
“So that, you will be able to get contributed in making this festivity more beautiful and prosperous for sure!” said Shizuka.
“Okay, sure!” said Amane, Ami, Miyaka, Ryōma, Kaoru, Shōtarō, Sachio and the members of the Nishina Red Katana.
“We’ll also be joining with you as well because we also have some bright ideas to take up with!” said Yasue.
“That would be for the big feast where we will have to bring our own foods to eat” said Rumi.
“Which will take place concurrently with the Night from the Fireside Show” said Yuiko.
“Well, be my guests, girls!” said Satsuki.
“You can join with us because you should be more thrilling to have those!” said Tae.
“Okay!” said Yasue, Rumi and Yuiko.
“By the way, is Aoi gonna be here with us?” asked Amane.
“We want to know if she’s with you guys” said Ami.
“Well, as you can see, Aoi won’t be getting along with us for a while because she’s very busy with Subaru and the other members of the Bravehearts of Ōta as they’re having some brainstorming for their plans with the Bravehearts of Fukuoka” said Kazunari.
“Which means that you have to wait for her to finish that before she’ll be having a free time with you” said Banri.
“Oh, that’s a shame” said Amane.
“I’m supposed that she’ll be joining with you, but she went on a different table though” said Ami.
“But you can meet her later on if you want to” said Satsuki.
“Yeah! She’ll be happy to see you that you’re here to celebrate the development of the friendship of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka” said Tae.
“You can do anything to make her comfortable because she’s your cousins. Right?” said Yasue.
“Yeah!” said Amane and Ami.
“Now, let’s have some big conversation to make it shine!” said Kazunari and Banri.
“Yeah!” said Yasue, Rumi, Yuiko and the members of the Luminous Camellia, Team Uehara-Hirokawa and the Nishina Red Katana.
The conversation would begin as they’re going to talk about the anticipating match between the Hasegawa Star and the Ōta Future All-Stars.
“Now, to start things off, earlier, we have discussed about what’s going on in the Ōta Blue Wind Cup, which it’s now down to just 8 teams remaining” said Kazunari.
“So, we explained about what the pre-season would be like and how it had been developed for their season that will start by next month” said Banri.
“Ah, that’s very interesting, guys! We didn’t watch those games though because we’re very busy on our own priorities, but we were fascinated that we saw some of the best players when they’re gathering together during the opening ceremony” said Miyaka.
“They have shown their determination to make sure that they will do their best in shining their way in the court” said Ryōma.
“These guys from Kyushu are considered the strongest compared to the other guys from around the country” said Kaoru.
“And they will do whatever it takes to take up through the skies and show that they’re running it over” said Shōtarō.
“Hopefully, most of them are taking anyone on notice because they’re here to engage themselves in proving who’s the best in the country” said Sachio.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Kazunari and Banri.
“We also discussed about Kazuhiro Hatakenaka” said Kazunari.
“Who is said to be the #1 prospect in his class, despite he’s just 16 years old” said Banri.
“Everyone called him ‘The Blue Phenomenal’ due to his all-around plays that run his own show without hesitation” said Satsuki.
“We saw him earlier when he and his team have taken on Team Hiyama of Tosu, which they have won the game in a blowout” said Tae.
“That Kazuhiro is so unstoppable that he can do a lot of moments to rally for victory for his team” said Ayame.
“Well, I was very surprised when we saw him earlier with Subaru and the other guys and he’s such a great guy who had been able to prove to the others that he’s the alpha dog” said Yasue.
“And he’s looking determined to show that he’s taking care of everything for his team to dominate” said Rumi.
“We never heard about him before, but until he had led his middle school team, the Kashii Gakuen Middle School boys’ basketball team, to a Middle School National Basketball Championship two years ago” said Yuiko.
“Yeah, you’re right about that! Kazuhiro had been phenomenal with his own aura when he stepped up into the court as he had been an amazing player through his dazzling skills and stupendous attributes” said Satsuki.
“Especially when he had posterized some aggressive guys, which is very nasty to do it” said Tae.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Yasue, Rumi and Yuiko.
“That’s why people said that Kazuhiro should be ready to enter professional if he had the desire to play with his own aura because he’s very strong and he had to make sure that he will not let everyone down” said Chieri.
“Right now, he’s aiming to get his attention to the media about trying to improve for his team because he’s more consistent in taking care of the court many times” said Shizuka.
“The more that he had worked hard in rallying for victory, the better that his reputation will be going up” said Hayu.
“Even he’s just 16 years old, he had already developed his career to the next level, making sure that he can do anything to get balling” said Miyu Yoshikawa.
“Also, he’s very expressive to anyone on his side whether he will accept them as rivals or not” said Kotaro.
“Hopefully, he will continue to get transitioned of becoming the best player in the draft class until he’ll graduate in two years” said Fumiaki.
“I never saw a person like him who’s considered phenomenal due to his potential being higher as well as his special moves being off the charts” said Amane.
“I have to say that this guy will be ready to shine his way with his own aura, so that he’ll do whatever it takes to make his moment blooming and harmonious” said Ami.
“Yeah! I’m so excited about him, guys, because Kazuhiro had been very determined in showing his compassion to anyone on his side whether he had faced a challenge from his rivals” said Miyaka.
“He’s definitely a wonder boy who wanted to live up his dream of becoming an NBA player and he’s looking forward to shine his way” said Ryōma.
“We never seen a guy coming from Kyushu whose potential is very strong, but I’m so surprised that he was indeed a phenomenal player” said Kaoru.
“Everyone will believe in him because he has the confidence to show to them that he’s a great prospect without a doubt” said Shōtarō.
“Hopefully, he will be getting a lot of achievements, especially the milestones, which are very important” said Sachio.
“Yes, he will. Kazuhiro told me that he had his own destiny to make it happen if he’s consistent enough to take everyone on notice” said Kazunari.
“He had his own aura to create his own moment and that one will make him very strong” said Banri.
“Sometimes, your promises will be broken, but at the end of the day, you will fulfill it with your hearts” said Ayame.
“Yeah!” said Amane, Ami, Miyaka, Ryōma, Kaoru, Shōtarō and Sachio.
“Speaking of which, guys, there are some news said that Taiga Kagami had just enrolled to a preparatory school in Los Angeles” said Miyoshi.
“Whoa! No way!” said the members of the Camellia and Team Uehara-Hirokawa.
“Are you serious?!” shouted Kazunari.
“I can’t believe it!” exclaimed Banri.
“That’s very interesting!” reacted Satsuki.
“Is it true?” added Tae.
“Yes, of course!” said Miyoshi. “According to the news from NHK, Taiga had just planned to play for a preparatory school in Los Angeles this coming fall once he’s done finishing his year in his current school.”
“He said that he wanted to play against the elites if he wants to make it to the NBA because he had been dazzling to show that he can do it” said Masahisa.
“Being an NBA player is his dream because he wanted to battle against the best of the best in that league, so that he will be able to beat them with his own aura” said Keita Kumazaki, a first year middle school student from the Nishina Middle School and a member of the Nishina Red Katana.
“There a few Japanese basketball players have played college in the States, but Taiga expressed that he wanted to go pro without needing a college team to play with” said Chidori Nishijima, a second year high school student from the Nashiba High School and a member of the Nishina Red Katana.
“As of now, he’s considered a four-star player, according to the scouting sites, and it is expected to enter to the NBA in two years” said Seiko Ozaki, a third year middle school student from the Nishina Middle School and a member of the Nishina Red Katana.
“We’re very surprised about that news because Taiga had been a phenomenal player that he wanted to shine with his own statement” said Manabu Kawamura, a third year middle school student from the Nishina Middle School and a member of the Red Katana.
“Taiga had formerly played in the Seirin High School alongside Tetsuya Kuroko, who is now the captain of the team, and led that team to a Winter Cup title two years ago before leaving during the summer last year to play in the States” said Tomomi Saeki, a first year high school student from the Nashiba High School and a member of the Nishina Red Katana.
“Hopefully, we will watch out for him in the States because he will do whatever it takes to make everyone on notice with his relentless plays” said Fumiya Yano, a first year high school student from the Nashiba High School and a member of the Nishina Red Katana.
“That’s very interesting news out there! This one may be something that a potential superstar can make it to the NBA” said Chieri.
“I’m so excited about him! It looks like he’s about to go transition of becoming a professional basketball player one day” said Shizuka.
“I’m very grateful for that news because we could possibly witness one of our players that will about to create his future” said Hayu.
“He’s definitely gonna be one of the rising stars that will represent Japan once he’s now entering the NBA at any time” said Miho Yoshikawa.
“I’m very fascinated to see him shining with his own aura and he’s not looking back again once he’s on fire” said Kotaro.
“He may be aggressive, but he’s going to become a wonder boy to make it to the NBA very soon” said Fumiaki.
“Yes, indeed! That’s why we looked at that news earlier while we’re having a dinner earlier at the Golden Sun Restaurant” said Miyoshi.
“Taiga was said to be a prospect who had grown up in Los Angeles during his early life before moving back to Tokyo for his transfer to Seirin” said Masahisa.
“The main reason why he returned to the States last year is because he wanted to pursue his career in the NBA” said Keita.
“Which results to Seirin accepting the paper of transfer for Taiga, thus potentially costing their chances of repeating as Winter Cup Champions” said Chidori.
“But they have never gave up as Seirin had retained the title without Taiga, thanks to their late changes in their roster” said Seiko.
“Such as Toshikazu Hojō, Hayato Tokugawa, Kyōsuke Makimoto, Junya Miki and Satoshi Yamamoto” said Manabu.
“This year, they have lost the services of Junpei Hyūga, Shun Izuki, Rinnosuke Mitobe, Shinji Koganei and Satoshi Tsuchida, who were all graduated last year” said Tomomi.
“However, they finally got new guns such as Kōhei Akatsuki, Hiroshi Ushijima, Genji Nishimoto and Yūki Ōikawa” said Fumiya.
“Seirin had been considered the underdogs despite that they have formed that club two years ago, which that school had also been opened at that time” said Amane.
“But they’ll never give up, thanks to the principles of confidence and heart by their manager Riko Aida” said Ami.
“The media is expecting for them to make it to the Interhigh Nationals, despite they’re very young, so do speak” said Miyaka.
“They could potentially not make it if they’re not ready to work together yet” said Ryōma.
“That’s why their new manager Chisato Takiguchi said that her boys will do their best in making it to that tournament as soon as they should synchronize themselves for sure” said Kaoru.
“Hopefully, we will watch out for Seirin as well because they’re very different with their new players through their scouting, but of course, you never know what they’ll be planning” said Shōtarō.
“They’re the sleepers of Tokyo ever since they have won the Winter Cup two years and then, retained it last winter” said Sachio.
“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Luminous Camellia and Team Uehara-Hirokawa.
“It’s so great that Seirin had been a dominant high school basketball team ever since they have done the unimaginable two years ago” said Kazunari.
“They’re very productive when they’re running in transition, so that they will rally their way to victory” said Banri.
“Everyone knows that Seirin had been a young team, but they have been able to prove themselves that they can do whatever it takes to shine themselves” said Satsuki.
“They have always taken everyone on notice and they’re so unstoppable to make themselves stronger without their star” said Tae.
“It’s going to be great that they will continue to dominate themselves now that they were selected alongside some biggest names around the country to compete in a special high school basketball tournament instead of competing in the Interhigh Nationals” said Ayame.
“What do you mean by that?” asked Miyaka.
“Yeah, I’m very curious about this” said Ryōma.
“Some of the biggest names wanted to compete in a special high school basketball tournament that is exclusively available for the preparatory schools, which is why the association had decided to split those from the Interhigh and Winter Cup proper, so that they will be able to form their own tournaments that would be more prestigious to watch” said Kazunari.
“Which means that this will be different for them to make them competing in another level rather than competing against most public and private schools in the country, so that everything will be fair to have separate champions rather than just one” said Banri.
“As a result, that special high school basketball tournament will be much different to the other tournaments because this will make the media more interesting to watch on those, but it will be on another level” said Satsuki.
“Which means that they can finally make progress in making many champions this season, so that they will be able to get recognized for sure” said Tae.
“Oh, I understand about that. I can’t believe that it’s going to be bizarre to have many champions this year because everyone thought that those prestigious schools are so strong and they don’t want to be no part of it” said Miyaka.
“The prestigious schools can have their own potential to produce, so that they will be able to get into them into the biggest universities in the country” said Ryōma.
“Yeah, they will!” said the members of the Luminous Camellia and Team Uehara-Hirokawa.
“Of course, speaking of something prestigious, we’re going to talk about the anticipated exhibition match between the Hasegawa Star and the Ōta Future All-Stars” said Kazunari.
“Which will take place 12 noon at the Recreational Center” said Banri.
“Oh, this will be very interesting!” said Miyoshi.
“I’m very excited about this!” said Masahisa.
“This one would be good to see if our prospects will shine their way this year” said Keita.
“They’re looking forward to run their place against the father of Subaru Hasegawa and his own team” said Chidori.
“Yep! The Ōta Future All-Stars is composed of the best players in Ōta, based on the scouting reports from different trainers and scouts all over this place” said Kazunari.
“They have fielded the best players of our hometown every year and they’re competing against other best players in an exhibition tournament known as the Tokyo Futures Cup, which it takes place every summer” said Banri.
“Last year, most players that are allegedly being revealed as members of the Dragons of Ōta have withdrawn their names in the preliminary roster after what happened last year when Shin Mizusaki had assaulted Tsubasa Sugimoto” said Satsuki.
“However, they have been able to survive the group stage when they won the last match as they have advanced to the quarterfinals, but they would lose to the Minato Future All-Stars in a blowout, 61-118” said Tae.
“But this year, things have been changed when they have revealed their roster, composed of Masanori Takeshita, Kazunori Shigematsu, Hideki Sudō, Shō Tatsuta, Toshiki Anabuki and Noboru Takeuchi, who is also the leader of the Dragons of Ōta” said Ayame.
“Subaru was initially invited to the roster, but he respectfully declined the offer due to personal reasons” said Aoba.
“Which in reality, he’s not interested to play with them because his team Nashiba had been suspended last year” said Misaki.
“Oh, too bad for him. I supposed that he would accept that offer, but he decided not to do though” said Amane.
“He doesn’t want to play with them yet because he hadn’t played a single high school game in a major competition” said Ami.
“He would have shined his way if he accepted that offer in the first place” said Miyaka.
“But of course, Nashiba didn’t enter to the Interhigh prefectural competition last year due to the incident between Shin Mizusaki and Tsubasa Sugimoto earlier at the start of last school year” said Ryōma.
“It will be very weird if he would have accepted that spot, but he had his own decision to make” said Kaoru.
“So, it’s a good decision for him to focus on his own challenges” said Shōtarō.
“Especially that his team will have a long training to make” said Sachio.
“Yeah, that’s true. Subaru told me that he wanted to build his own team that is much different than the Ōta Future All-Stars if he had the desire to do it, but he’s not ready for that yet” said Kazunari.
“He believed that he wanted to put up his own roster that will represent not only for us, but for his father’s former home in Fukuoka” said Banri.
“That’s why we were surprised when we saw Kazuhiro and the other leaders of the braveheart groups in Fukuoka” said Satsuki.
“They have been very strong that they want to shine for themselves” said Tae.
“Of course, Subaru is more of a phenomenal if he matched his potential with Kazuhiro and his friends” said Ayame.
“Everyone knows that Subaru is the Braveheart Sensation” said Aoba.
“Because he had his own aura to take care of through his eyes” said Misaki.
“He’s not giving up no matter what as he’s aiming to be a sensational player for everyone on his side” said Chieri.
“That’s why he will be always determined to make the difference for himself” said Shizuka.
“Yeah!” said Yasue, Rumi, Yuiko and the members of the Nishina Red Katana.
“I’m very uplifted that Subaru can make his own statement if he wanted to form his own team” said Yasue.
“I have to say that he will possibly have a chance to make his own team with his desire because he’s very confident that he will have his own legion to run with” said Rumi.
“Hopefully, he will make sure that he will run with them through their auras” said Yuiko.
“Yes, he would. Subaru said that he had his own connection of friends not only from our hometown, but in Fukuoka as well” said Satsuki.
“Which means that he had the power to create his own team without hesitation because he had to make sure that his team will be running with their blessings” said Tae.
“Oh, yes! I would love to see that, onēchan!” said Yasue.
“It will be amazing that he can have that, so that they will run together in the court” said Rumi.
“They will make sure that they will have a great team chemistry to make” said Yuiko.
“Yeah, we hope so, but we’ll see about that” said Satsuki.
“He will be ready to start something new to show that he’s the Braveheart Sensation” said Tae.
“Yeah!” said Yasue, Rumi and Yuiko.
“Kazunari, if the Ōta Future All-Stars will plan to offer Subaru a spot for next year, do you think that he will accept it?” asked Amane.
“Well, to be honest, I’m not sure if he can do it though because he’s very different to the other best players in Ōta” said Kazunari.
“Which is why he had been very good in making decisions and building his own teams to make sure that it’ll be formidable and strong to represent” said Banri.
“And remember that since he was influenced by other braveheart leaders, he’s already doing something different that he used to, compared to how he did when he was formerly part of the Dragons of Ōta” said Satsuki.
“He might end up teaming up with different braveheart leaders from our neighboring areas such as Setagaya, Meguro and Shinagawa” said Tae.
“That one may be possible if he had a great friendship with them, but it’s going to be a challenge for him because he had met with them before last year” said Yasue.
“So, it’s going to be different to see a formidable and strong braveheart team if things would work out for Subaru and his fellow allies where everyone had agreed to that idea” said Rumi.
“Which means that they’ll be ready to create their own teamwork to show their prowess and strength to make sure that they’re dominating the game for themselves” said Yuiko.
“This could be promising, guys! I’ll be expecting for Subaru to have that as he’s ready to prove the ground to make sure that his team will be taking over the court” said Amane.
“Hopefully, this will be more amazing to see them shining together as soon as they’re ready to build their momentum to shine for sure!” said Ami.
“Yeah!” said Kazunari, Banri, Satsuki, Tae, Yasue, Rumi and Yuiko.
“If I remember correctly, Hideki Sudō and Shō Tatsuta were formerly part of the Nashiba High School boys’ basketball team. Isn’t that right, Ayame?” said Miyaka.
“Yes, they were. They alongside Akinori Matsuzawa have used to run together two years ago when they have reached the fourth round of the Interhigh prefectural tournament” said Ayame.
“It was the best result so far a high school basketball team that doesn’t have any member of the Dragons of Ōta” said Aoba.
“But they have members that are coming from the Ōta Luminous Plum” said Misaki.
“The Ōta Luminous Plum was very responsible in running their own group, especially that they have picked their members to be part of any team that had been competed for a competition” said Marina.
“That group would end up merging with the Pink and Plum, thus the former had been disbanded while the latter had started to expand of their own” said Chinami.
“The legacy of the Undeniable Boys, composed of Hideki, Shō and Akinori, would never be forgotten after achieving themselves for the first time after more than 20 years” said Kaori.
“But hopefully, Subaru and his friends will hopefully gonna bring back Nashiba by running together to make sure that they will never give up no matter what” said Miho Taneda.
“As soon as they will have their blessings through their auras” said Haruka.
“Wow! I’m surprised that those two have been able to make Nashina more of being the underdogs two years ago” said Miyaka.
“They have found their own synchronization to run themselves because they want to rally their way to victory” said Ryōma.
“I like the way they did when I watched them where I was very delighted to see how both Hideki and Shō have done something big” said Kaoru.
“Nashiba would have been dominant if they would have progressed all the way to the final four, but I guess that this is just the beginning of their own run if that school wouldn’t be suspended in the first place” said Shōtarō.
“It will be fantastic to see a team like Nashiba can very unimaginable moments that shock the Japanese high school basketball community in Tokyo” said Sachio.
“Yeah, you’re right about that, guys! However, unlike some schools that have bravehearts, Nashiba had been less popular by any means when it comes to sports, however, they have been able to produce athletes from soccer and volleyball” said Ayame.
“In basketball, they haven’t been progressed in the first years, but they started to make changes by the time their boys’ basketball team had notched their first victory in the Interhigh prefectural tournament in 1999” said Aoba.
“Since then, the Nashiba High School boys’ basketball team started to produce good players before Subaru entered that group, but they haven’t found something big until two years ago” said Misaki.
“Their luck had been shattered last year when the school had to suspend that program for a year due to Shin Mizusaki’s incident, which is why everyone had been worried about their future and so, this brings major changes when some of their players have agreed to play in Keishin for a year before the suspension was finally lifted earlier last month” said Marina.
“Hopefully, we will see something more shocking if Nashiba can able to get past the fourth round this year, thanks to their new players that they have, which means that they’re ready to be on the move. Isn’t that right, guys?” said Chinami.
“Yeah!” said Amane, Ami, Miyaka, Ryōma, Kaoru, Shōtarō, Sachio and the members of the Nishina Red Katana.
“That team had been resilient and formidable in the recent years, but they haven’t done that before because they ended up getting around at least to the fourth round” said Amane.
“However, it’ll be changed since Subaru, Kazunari and Banri, have taken over your team to make sure that you’re here to run the place like they have used to before in Kasuragi and Kirihara” said Ami.
“I’m sure that they’ll be ready to do whatever it takes to make the statement for themselves” said Miyaka.
“They don’t want to give up right now because they’re currently getting on win now mode” said Ryōma.
“Nashiba should have been stronger if they’re not suspended, but I hope that there will be a miracle that may happen at any time” said Kaoru.
“Everything will be changed once they’re stepping in through the court and show that they’re here to take everyone on notice” said Shōtarō.
“When they’re here to shine, they’ll prove themselves that they’re formidable and unstoppable for sure!” said Sachio.
“You got that right, guys!” said Ayame, Aoba and Misaki.
“What about the Hasegawa Star? Can you explain it to us?” asked Miyoshi.
“The Hasegawa Star is an all-star team that is led by the father of Subaru Hasegawa, Ginga Hasegawa” said Chieri.
“He’s formerly a basketball player that played in the prefectural and regional leagues for more than 10 years” said Shizuka.
“He had been friends with his former teammates that had gotten along with in the past and now, he finally decided to form his own team to reunite themselves for just one game” said Hayu.
“They also brought two former teammates of Subaru that are coming from Fukuoka in Masahiko Ōshima and Kyōsuke Yaginuma” said Miho Yoshikawa.
“They have been great players that helped the Ōta Brave Thunder to win their title on the final year of Ginga’s career” said Shiho.
“Despite that they’re sucked at defense, they have been able to lean on shooting from the three-point line without losing their energy” said Ruka.
“It’s like that they have been lighting out all the way” said Kotaro.
“So, they have looked like a young team in the past, but this will make themselves more of a friendly team since Ginga had been leading two former teams in his career” said Fumiaki.
“Hopefully, you will be thrilled to see him in the court again” said Yoshimasa.
“Yeah!” said Yasue, Rumi, Yuiko and the members of the Nishina Red Katana.
“I’ll be surprised that he’s gonna show his moves that he had used to in the past because he wants to play like he’s a young guy again” said Yasue.
“It’s so nice that Ginga had been a great player that he didn’t able to live up his expectations to the top leagues” said Rumi.
“But he had been able to groom his career to win two titles” said Yuiko.
“He’s very talented and strong when he was on his prime where he had shined his way to lead his teams to dominance during his career” said Amane.
“But as years go by, he’s getting different when he was over the peak, but he had already taught some young guys to do what he did, so that they’ll inspire him at all” said Ami.
“I have to say that his team will be ready to get on the move, so that they will show to us that they’re here to run the place” said Miyaka.
“It’s so amazing that he’s finally get ready to go back to the court for the first since his retirement as he’s ready to show how it’s done for all of us” said Ryōma.
“He’s ready to pass the torch to the young guns in our hometown, so that they will be able to inspire him” said Kaoru.
“I will be surprised if he’s going to shock Noboru with his moves that might be nasty, but you never know that he’s a good playmaker” said Shōtarō.
“He had the eyes of his own style to perform and it will be amazing that he’s gonna be looked good again” said Sachio.
“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Luminous Camellia and Team Uehara-Hirokawa.
“It will very exciting to see what that match would be like for tomorrow because you’re all ready to witness all players from both teams facing off against each other in the court” said Kazunari.
“This may be the ‘passing of the torch’ match because it’s about time for the young bloods in our hometown to step up with their auras to see if they’re proving themselves good” said Banri.
“With Ginga ready to come out of retirement for just one exhibition game, this will be more of a homecoming match for him because he’s born in Ōta” said Satsuki.
“And he’s very recognized as a great player and leader” said Tae.
“Hopefully, you’re all prepared for this, guys!” said Ayame.
“Yeah!” said Yasue, Rumi, Yuiko and the members of the Nishina Red Katana.
“Now, the fun part for tomorrow will be the big feast, which will take place at the garden” said Kazunari.
“We have planned some ideas on what to do with that event where we will be bringing some foods and drinks, so that we will be able to eat while enjoying the culminating event” said Banri.
“So far, we already have listed some foods and drinks that we need to bring with me and Tae bringing some chicken soup” said Satsuki.
“Kazunari and Banri will be bringing some torikatsu with special sauce” said Tae.
“While me, Aoba and Misaki will be planning to bring some sushi to make it even interesting for all of us to eat” said Ayame.
“For the five of us, we will be planning to bring some rice balls” said Marina.
“Which will be plenty to cook this up” said Chinami.
“While on the other hand, me and Shizuka will be ready to bring some teriyaki with some special sauces that we made from our school festival last year” said Chieri.
“The special sauces that we made are special to our group” said Shizuka.
“The rest of us will be planning to bring some yakitori, tonkatsu and Ebi tempura” said Hayu.
“I’m also volunteering to bring some fried rice for everyone as well” said Miho Yoshikawa.
“What about you, guys?” asked Kazunari.
“What are you planning to bring for tomorrow’s big feast?” added Banri.
“Well, for the seven of us, we want to bring some katsudon and tendon because those are our favorites” said Miyaka.
“Me and Miyaka were interested in those since our parents have cooked that for dinner” said Ryōma.
“Same goes to us because we always used to eat those during the break” said Amane.
“Yeah, it’s so delicious when you take a bite on those!” said Ami.
“I’m always craving for those foods and so, why not we will bring them and share to everyone? It’s going to be fantastic that we will bring those for the big feast” said Kaoru.
“Yeah, we’re very interested in Japanese foods that are so good to eat and we’ll be lucky if we can bring them for all of us to eat” said Shōtarō.
“Hopefully, we will be able to make everyone feeling delighted to share with our foods once we will bring there, so that they will be able to enjoy eating while celebrating the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Sachio.
“That’s very interesting, guys! I’m very surprised that you want to bring some katsudon and tendon to the big feast because we liked that too!” said Satsuki.
“We loved to eat those when we’re all gathered together last year. So, it will be amazing that you will have those for us to share” said Tae.
“Yes, we are!” said Amane, Ami, Miyaka, Ryōma, Kaoru, Shōtarō and Sachio.
“Hey, I will be in charge for the desserts like anpan and melonpan, onēchan!” said Yasue.
“The two of us will be bringing some okonomiyaki” said Rumi.
“It’s so good and delicious!” said Yuiko.
“Those foods are good to bring, guys! I’m liking that!” said Kazunari.
“It looks like you guys have picked the right foods to choose” said Banri.
“That makes us more craved to eat those” said Ayame.
“It’s so awesome that you will be planning to bring those for tomorrow and hopefully, you will be able to have them for you to share with us” said Aoba.
“The more that you will bring foods out there, the better that we will make this big feast even better with many foods that we can eat” said Misaki.
“Yeah!” said Yasue, Rumi, Yuiko and the members of the Nishina Red Katana.
“It’s going to be great that we will bring those into the big feast, so that we will all be blessed and inspire to eat those” said Miyaka.
“The big feast will be an event that we should not miss because this is the part where everyone will be ready to eat the dinner together” said Ryōma.
“We will be very delighted that we will have a great feast to create with as we will always share some smiles to joys with each other” said Kaoru.
“We should also take some big moments to shine while we’re having that because this is what we do to enjoy this event” said Shōtarō.
“As we’ll prosper together like the way we used to!” said Sachio.
“It’s a great opportunity for all of us to get involved for this big event because this is where we will all share together with some foods that we will bring” said Yasue.
“As these will be the symbol of joy and prosperity to make us feel good” said Rumi.
“It’s going to be a great night for all of us once we’re all set to eat some dinner for the great feast and hopefully, we’ll all be blessed and inspired for sure!” said Yuiko.
“Yeah, you got it!” said Kazunari, Banri, Satsuki and Tae.
“Also, one that I have to remind you is that after the culminating event, we will end the Fuchsia and Celadon Week with some fireworks display through the sky” said Kazunari.
“This one will be more blooming and sparkling because this will finally kick off the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon” said Banri.
“Where everyone is ready to bloom and shine with their auras, so that they will be able to bless and inspire their community” said Satsuki.
“By representing our hometown through our hearts” said Tae.
“It’s so nice that we have done a lot of moments in the Fuchsia and Celadon Week since we have contributed together from the start and hopefully, tomorrow will be the time to close it out and make it more magical” said Ayame.
“Hopefully, you will be ready to get yourself blessed and inspired once the fireworks display will take place” said Chieri.
“And this is the part where the friendship flame will be extinguished to symbolize the end of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Shizuka.
“So, are you ready for this, everyone?” asked Kazunari.
“Yes, we are!” said Yasue, Rumi, Yuiko and the members of the Nishina Red Katana.
“I’m so excited about the fact that the Fuchsia and Celadon Week will come to an end tomorrow!” said Amane.
“Me too! I believe that this will be blooming and harmonious to cap off this event as it’s about time to move on to a new era, which will be full of blessings and inspirations that they’ll show for everyone to shine themselves” said Ami.
