The next day

At gym

Everyone is practicing so hard. Kazumi come close to Mika.

"When are you planning to confess to Nakamura?" Kazumi said

"Wha-!" Mika said

"You have been like him since middle school." Kazumi said

"Kazumi-chan! It's not the time for that! We need to concentrate because the Inter high is soon." Mika said

"You are avoiding the question." Kazumi said

"I'm not!" Mika said

"You are!" Kazumi said

"Geez! I don't know...I still don't have strength for that." Mika said

"You are an idiot! You have to confess before it's too late." Kazumi said

"I know!" Mika said

Koichi is looking at her. Ryunosuke come close to Mika.

"What do you think about them?" Ryunosuke said

"Hmm…they should have a hard practice to make their stamina strong that they won't get tired easily." Mika said

"Nakamura's performance is good?" Ryunosuke said

"He has no problem. He has a good stamina and he didn't get tired easily. Others are improving too." Mika said

"I see…the inter high is soon," Ryunosuke said

"Yes...our going to face first is Kanazawa High school." Mika said

"They are so strong." Kazumi said

"Why did you tell that?" Ryunosuke said

"I overlook their information and I look their play." Kazumi said

"She is right. They are a difficult team. We have to be careful to them. We have a big chance to get lost." Mika said

"I see…that's why you are too strict and coach." Ryunosuke said

"Yes…that's my reason." Mika said

"She is serious now. That kind of person she is. She is being strict if it is soon starts in order to make the team strong." Kazumi said

"I see…" Ryunosuke said

"I have been her assistant for 3 years that's why I knew what kind of person she is and what kind of manager she is." Kazumi said

"She is good." Ryunosuke said

"She is a strict like devil" Kazumi said

Kazumi smiled

After practice

Kazumi saw Takahiro.

"Then! I will go now! Bye! Make sure you will confess to him." Kazumi said

"Eh!? Wai-!" Mika said

"Koizumi-san?" Takahiro said

"Nakamura-kun!?" Mika said

"Where she is?" Takahiro said

"She left." Mika said

"I see... then let's go." Takahiro said

"Yeah" Mika said

While they are walking they saw a big cherry blossom tree.

"Wow it's big!" Mika said

"Yeah" Takahiro said

While they are looking on the cherry blossom the rain suddenly fall.

"Wah-!" Mika shouted

Takahiro hold her hand and they go under the cherry blossom.

"It's cold..." Mika said while rubbing her hands

Takahiro remove his jacket and put it to Mika's shoulder. Mika got surprised.

"How about you? You'll catch cold!" Mika said

"I'm fine. I will be fine." Takahiro said

Mika look away and she is blushing.

While they are waiting the rain stop

"What should I do? I have to confess right now?" Mika said in her mind

"I have to confess." Takahiro said in his mind

They look to each other

"Umm!" Mika and Takahiro said

"Go on" Mika said

"No, go first" Takahiro said

"I...I always...li-!" Mika said

Mika's phone suddenly rang

"I'm sorry!" Mika said

"Go and answer it." Takahiro said

Mika nods

"I thought she is going to confess." Takahiro said

"Yes...ah! Mother!?" Mika said

Takahiro look to Mika

"Yes...I'm fine...don't worry about me." Mika said

Mika is bowing

"Yes...yes...then...I will hang it." Mika said

Mika hang the phone.

"Your mother?" Takahiro said

"Yes... I have to go now." Mika said

"Yeah." Takahiro said

"Then I will go now. See you tomorrow. Please don't catch cold!" Mika said

"You too." Takahiro said

At Mika's room

Mika sat to her bed

"This isn't the right time." Mika said in her mind

She lie down

"What should I do…? If mother didn't call me I have confess and hear his answer. I'm so idiot!" Mika said in her mind

The next day

"Then? What happened yesterday?" Kazumi said

"It didn't go well." Mika said

"What!?" Kazumi said

"While we are walking together we saw a big cherry blossom tree and it suddenly rains. We go under the cherry blossom I was about to confess my mother suddenly calls me. That's why I didn't able to confess." Mika said

"You are idiot!" Kazumi shouted

"I think that is not the right time." Mika said

"I see…" Kazumi said

"Run! Run!" Ryunosuke shouted

"Yes!" Everyone shouted

After a few hours they take a break.
