Maho!
Oh~!
Please let me in.
Please teach me more about how you practise.
Okay...
If you're okay with us teaching you...
That's right.
We came here to practise, so that's more important.
But...
It's probably better to leave her alone for a while.
Let her calm down a bit.
Oh~!
Knowing Maho, she'll be just fine.
Please let us in, too.
We're sorry for making such a big fuss.
Everyone...
That's right.
You're a weak team that has no foundation or experience.
You should be grateful that we're even letting you practise with us.
We're running short of time.
Let's start practice.
I'm sorry.

The Bridge for Five People
Airi!
Okay!
They're surprisingly quick.
Yeah.
They might be at a pretty high level.
What are you talking about?
There's no way those amateurs are that good.
Thank you very much!
Hasegawa-kun.
Look there.
Saki.
At times like these,
it's better for a teammate to go rather than the coach.
Are you still angry?
I'm really pathetic, aren't I?
I should've told them, but I didn't.
I'm a failure of a coach.
It's still not too late.
Didn't you enjoy playing basketball?
Huh?!
Isn't that what the five of us have been doing up until now?
I'm asking you if you found it fun.
Of course it was fun.
Wasn't I the one that asked you to join?
Don't act like it was your idea!
Then why are you skipping practice and spacing out here so angrily?
I'm not angry.
I just wanted to take part in the tournament as the five of us.
I wanted to taste the feeling of winning, just like how we won the tournament and beat the boys' basketball club.
How conceited you are.
Talking like you could've beaten anyone you met in the tournament...
Even though you're way worse than me.
There's no way I'd lose to you, Saki!
Maho-chan's basketball hasn't ended yet.
Of course, having a goal is important.
But for now, they can just play basketball for the sake of it, too.
Now...
To me, coaching is my basketball now.
Senpai...
If I really tried, I could walk.
But it hurts when I jump even a little, and I can't bear the pain.
Injuries sure are troublesome.
I'm sorry for telling you all this.
But even though I can't play basketball, I still love the sport.
I want to face it honestly.
That's right.
When I took up coaching...
I was making my basketball their basketball, too.
Somewhere down the line,
their development became my development, too.
Maho-chan will face basketball in the same way you do, Hasegawa-kun.
Yes.
Ah, there you are, Subarun!
Maho!
Hey, watch me.
I'm having a duel with Saki now.
Give me your best shot.
That's my line.
I won't lose to someone like you, who can't do anything but shoot.
Then, if you steal the ball or protect the ball for 20 seconds in a row, you'll score one point.
First to three points wins.
Is that okay?
Here I go!
Come at me any time!
I'm not done yet!
That's one point to me.
Subaru-san, this is...
Yeah.
A duel, she said.
Oh~!
A duel sounds fun.
Let me play, too!
All right!
Hina, we're both going to steal the ball from Saki this time.
Two against one is unfair.
Hey, you guys should join in, too.
Is it okay?
Of course!
All right, let's split into teams!
They're just...
...having fun.
Right now they're just having fun playing basketball!
It looks like cotton candy.
Can't you think of anything besides food?
It looks like a sheep to me.
A sheep, huh?
That's cute.
Everyone...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for skipping practice.
I was only thinking about myself.
I'm the one who should apologise.
I'm sorry for keeping quiet about the number of people we need for the tournament.
And so...
Subaru-san, in that case, I should apologise too.
Even though I knew, I couldn't bring myself to say it.
It's all fine, Subarun, Mo-kan!
You were thinking about us,
and that's why you stayed quiet about it.
Even if we can't take part in the official match,
our basketball won't change.
Oh~!
We'll be together from now on, too.
We want to get better with the team we have now.
Everyone...
Thank you.
I'll try my best to live up to everyone's expectations.
As long as you continue to love and play basketball,
let's enjoy it from the bottom of our hearts.
Yes!
All right!
Then, let's practise again in the afternoon.
Let's hurry and prepare for lunch.
Yeah.
Let's go!
Seems like it went well.
Yeah.
But it's my turn now.
As a coach, I have to do what I can to protect those girls' basketball right now.

Please!
I will not allow you to play against our regulars.
This is a critical time for preparing our players for the next match.
We won't lose out in passion... or our skills, either!
We will try our best.
I'm sorry, but we don't even have a second to waste.
Onee-chan, would you still refuse if I asked, too?
You should understand.
Winning, and furthering the team's achievements, is everything.
Is that really enjoyable?
Hey, Subaru!
I think winning is important.
But if all you want is to win matches,
you don't have to play basketball; you could do anything.
Isn't it our duty to teach how enjoyable basketball is?
I want to have a match against the Keishin girls.
It seems fun, too.
Also, if this would affect our match,
aren't you admitting that they're actually a strong team?
Understood.
It will be troublesome if we gained a bad reputation...
...because it looked like we rejected the match because we were afraid of losing.
Then...
I accept.
Thank you very much!
Eat up, everyone!
Let's eat!
Please eat a whole lot!
It's delicious!
It's so fluffy inside. It's delicious!
It's true!
It's to be expected.
Manaka-senpai, thank you very much.
No, I didn't do anything.
In fact, I'm sorry for my sister's coldness.
It's hard to believe that you two are siblings.
Onee-chan became like that for me, so...
She said that while I can't play, she would let me enjoy victories by having the team win matches.
Although I appreciate it,
there's no point if everyone's not having fun.
Let's have a good time during the match tomorrow.
Please take care of us, too.
Oh~!
We'll win for sure!
We won't hold back, even for Manaka-chi!
Subarun, let's have a special training session tomorrow!
Okay.
I'll do my best as your coach!
Yes!
I'll get better so Subarun will praise me during the special training tomorrow!
Me too!
I'll try my best, too!
A girl's heart sure is complicated.
That's no-
You want him to try his best as a coach, yet you feel jealous.
It's not what you're thinking!
Just be honest with yourself.
Didn't I say that I'd help you out?
Hina, Hina, look!
It's all bubbly!
I got sunburned.
It's true.
It feels prickly.
There!
Take this!
Me too!
Oh~!
It's hot!
Take this!
Looking at their practice formations,
their defence seems to be thorough.
Now, it's about how we penetrate that defence.
Hasegawa-kun, about the baths: they said you could use them for now.
Are you going?
Yes!
Mist room
Mist sauna?
I was wondering if you'd like to do this to relax before your bath.
But, what am I going to do...?
Maybe I should just go ahead and try that out.
Manaka-senpai, are you inside?
Aoi?!
Why are you here?!
Why can't I open it?
Didn't I say that I'd help you out?
Don't tell me this is what she meant by "help"...
Hey, what do you mean you can't open it...?
The door is locked!
Hey, don't look this way!
I'm not looking!
Don't come close to me!
Aoi-chan?
Geez, Senpai, you're such an idiot!
Huh? It didn't go well?
My sex appeal strategy failed?
I can't get married any more.
I wish that was all just a dream.
Good morning.
I think that was pretty bad,
but it wasn't your fault, so let's both just forget about it.
Okay?
Got it.
Thanks.
As always, you go so fast.
Of course.
In fact, I'm amazed that you managed to keep up.
Of course.
I'm still continuing with my road work.
I see.
You really should join the Nashiba girls' basketball team.
I can't be of help to you?
That's not it.
I'm grateful for all you've done.
But I want you to play your own basketball,
with your true feelings, Aoi.
I already am.
I just need my basketball to reach one person.
I'll be satisfied as long as it reaches that person.
It's my goal to beat him at some point in my life.
Ever since we started playing basketball on that day...
So, I'm already trying my best.
I'm waiting for him to start playing basketball.
Aoi...
Well...
I...
I know.
That person is occupied by his current basketball.
That's why you should let me join in, too.
Oh~!
It went in!
That's amazing, Hinata-chan!
Let's try that one more time.
Oh~!
I'll try my best!
Even if you're holding the ball, don't let down your guard.
Yes!
All right!
We're doing great!
Maho will beat the Chibi-Ribbon team for sure!
Huh?
A match?
Apparently, Sensei decided on it for us.
Even though they don't have any experience in competitive basketball...
Their footwork was pretty good when they were practising.
Huh?!
Those amateurs won't even last a second against us.
Not one second.
And then we'll crush them single-handedly.
That was refreshing!
Saki, do you have a moment?
I think your footwork will be vital to the team.
Can I really play a position like that?
It's because it's you, Saki. That's why you can do it.
I believe you're the most suitable one on the whole team.
I understand.
I'll try my best playing in the same position as Hasegawa-san!
I think the most important thing is to prepare for attacks from the back.
They will most likely move with their captain, Miu-san, as their focus.
I see.
Let's all think about how we should move on the court.
They'll defend a lot more, so let's read the situation and change our movements...
I'm bac-
If Miho-nee saw Hinata-chan, she would be surprised.
She got really good, after all.
Airi, in the future, you might become a jewel in the world of girls' basketball.
Maho, because you're here, everyone stays cheerful.
Saki, thanks for always supporting everyone.
Jump as high as you can tomorrow.
As you always do with your jump shot.
I'll try my best.
Win it, Tomoka.
We're counting on you, Ace.
Let's finish this up quickly.
That's our line!
This is easy.
To think that you challenged us with such half-hearted determination.
It feels like you're just playing around.
Damn it!
Mo-kan!
Here!
Watch out, Chibi-Ribbon!
Who's a Chibi-Ribbon?!
You sucker!
Damn you!
Isn't she getting a bit too hot-headed?
This is bad.
She isn't looking at her surroundings.
Rest
Continue
Keishin
Suzuridani
The first quarter is coming to an end.
Their three-man defence...
If we don't watch out, we'll be crushed by it.
We've got to play our cards before it's too late.
It's a bit early, but I'm going to change Saki to point guard.
Is that okay?
Yes.
I'm fine.
It's up to you, Saki.
Pass the ball to me more.
I'll read the situation and decide.
Saki, pass it over!
Hina!
Oh~!
Airi!
Don't mind!
We'll get the next shot!
Calm yourself down a little.
Yeah...
Saki is really focussed, and good at analysing the situation calmly.
Saki!
Shameless.
And reckless!
Maho!
Shoot!
Now!
All right!
I can also be...
...just like Mo-kan!
Maho-chan, nice shot!
Amazing, Maho!
It's not like it's decided by one goal.
How stupid.
Everyone's movements have become more fluid.
Yeah.
She can judge the opponents' movements very well and think of a counter on the spot.
That way, Tomoka can concentrate on offence,
and it becomes easier to get through their defence.
With this...
Yeah.
They'll win!
