A full-time girlfriend-for-hire job suddenly turns into a reverse harem.
-
International basketball prodigy and full-time girlfriend-for-hire Ymari Seinaru's life was going characteristically well until a series of unexpected encounters makes he...
she was enlightened by her previous senpai, tachibana who she liked to call bakago-chin, that teamwork matters a lot in this sport, as it is played by a team. so she wants to know how each of these players measure up in terms of teamwork.
because if there's one thing she learned from her senpai, it's that teamwork can make up for whatever talent a regular skilled player lacks.
take bakago-chin herself for example.
she wasn't exceptional in any way. she was just skilled.
this analogy has no relation whatsoever to ymari wanting to insult back bakago-chin for calling her a twat a long time ago. nope, not at all.
but the talent she lacked, that ymari had, she made up for with teamwork.
that's what made her and this team a powerhouse.
that's what this sport is built upon.
teamwork.
"you done rating them?" utsui jogged up to ymari, leaving their third year senpais in charge of screening for players.
ymari hummed, finally done rating the 58th player. "yeah."
"everyone's in. we're dividing them into three strings. twenty something on each string." ymari concluded, stacking the papers but leaving one, which had the summary on the table. "let's leave it here."
the brunette nodded as ymari gave her the summary paper. she looked over the names and agreed, with a hum. "alright."
"tell the seniors they can announce the strings now. afterwards, they can dismiss the players. the two of us will go on ahead." she told utsui.
she grabbed her bag and slung it over her shoulder, skirt swiftly lifting up with the wind as she turned. she started walking briskly to the doors of the gym when her phone vibrated in her skirt pocket.
she blinked, pulling it out.
sana-obaasan never emails, texts, or calls her at this time of the day.
heck, her aunt only calls at least once every two weeks to check on her. that's because ukai already was already given informal slash honorary custody of the kid by sana— the woman gave him the authority slash responsibility to sign the papers needed to be signed by guardians. so there wasn't a need for daily check-ins from the woman with ukai already as the supervisor of ymari.
she looked at the screen, eyes narrowing at a few characters she didn't seem to recognize at first glance.
however, when she read it again, her heart skipped a beat.
was it in excitement?
she read it again, her ears tinging red.
was it in elation?
she read the characters typed on the screen, making sure she wasn't going blind.
a small smile flitted upon her lips. she was officially going to be a professional full-time girlfriend for hire.

"sweet, you got your first client?" utsui asked as the two of them walked to ymari's house after being dropped off by the bus at the bus stop.
the two of them went home alone without kenji and terushima because they were both still at club sign-ups.
utsui intended to sleep over to help ymari with her first official girlfriend for hire date tonight. it was apparently a family dinner, and her client was a thirteen year old second year middle school student from a school she doesn't remember.
it was utsui and sakurai who suggested the pay rates for her new profession, as the former said that, "if you keep low-balling your prices, you're gonna end up broke."
the pay was a one thousand yen for a two-hour date.
one hundred yen for a thirty minute phone call.
two thousand yen for an entire day of a relationship— she managed to convince utsui to make it this way. originally, it was five thousand.
and much to her dismay..
fifty thousand yen for a month of dating.
the pay the two athletes— sakurai and utsui) created was definitely good, but having people spend too much for something as trivial as this was still new to her and it set her off.
"yeah, he found the ad sakurai ran, and he paid already." ymari told her. "what should i wear later?"
"depends.." utsui hummed thoughtfully as the two of them finally arrived at ymari's home.
"is it a formal dinner?" she asked as the two of them entered the seinaru estate.
"yeah." ymari nodded as they both went upstairs to her room. "they're eating at a high-end restaurant in uptown sendai."
utsui grinned, clicking her tongue. "alright then, i know what you should wear."
