"Training camp?! With a bunch of boys?!"
I sweat dropped heavily at my dad. "Dad, three girls will be with me. So technically, I'm not the only girl there." I said.
"Believe in your own daughter, Okita." My mom said sternly. "Besides, she can handle herself. She's already 14!"
"But Nozomi, with boys!" My dad persuaded. "And she's not wearing her jersey either!"
"She left it in the wash. Besides, she has the jacket on." My mom said, shrugging
While they were ranting about it, I just sat on the couch. I didn't know that even a persistent guy like him could get so mad...
(Earlier)
"Kuroi! We've been at it for two hours already! Give it a rest!"
"Not until I can make a perfect shoot!"
Kuroi kept kicking the ball into the goal while I kept dribbling. Everyone had been really angry or upset during that encounter with Afuro yesterday. Kuroi was really mad. Heck, I was too, but I calmed myself down anyway.
By kicking the wall a couple of times in my room before my cousin Lovino showed up.
It was Kuroi's 27th kick and he already fell to the ground panting. "Kuroi, I told you that you should give it a rest."
"Not a chance! I wanna be ready when we face Zeus and that female idiot!" Kuroi said angrily.
"Act like that and you're gonna get hurt." I muttered.
From the other end of the room, Endou had been repeatedly catching the balls but some of them ended up in the goal or straight into his stomach. Well, it was on maximum level. How else would he get hurt?
After an hour or so, Coach Hibiki and Natsumi had called us over to tell us that all of us were going on a training camp, which basically meant spending the night at school.
"Training camp?" Endou asked.
"Yeah. Spend the night at school and make a meal with the whole team." Coach Hibiki said.
"Spending a night at school will be helpful." My mom pointed out. "I used to do that with my teammates and we won the finals!"
"It's true! Coach Nozomi had won 4 years in a row!" Otonashi exclaimed.
"I've gotten permission for it." Natsumi said.
"Training camp, eh?" Shourinji asked excitedly.
"Now that you mentioned it, we haven't had a training camp before." Shishido said.
"Spending the night at school sounds fun!" Kurimatsu exclaimed.
"Come to think of it, it would be the first time that me and Rena are away from our siblings." Kuroi said.
"Good point. It would be nice to have training camp without Jirou. Don't tell him I said that though." I said.
"Don't worry dear, your brother won't know a word." My mom said, smiling.
"Wait a moment, Coach."
Everyone looked at Endou. He was looking down and clenching his fists.
"This isn't the time to be that relaxed. The match against Zeus is in two days. I have to complete Majin the Hand before that..." He said.
"Endou, I know that Hibiki-san is your coach, but I have a say in this as well." My mom said, giving that declaring tone of hers. "With that practice of yours, completing it would be from close to almost."
