Chapter 4 - If You’re a Man, No Girls Will Refuse You

"Hello, do you want to join our team?" Misae waved her hands energetically.

The girl was stunned by the enthusiastic Misae. She fidgeted a bit before opening her mouth to answer. "I can't play."

When she heard that high-pitched voice, Misae was stunned speechless. Was this girl a real princess? Her voice was extremely high and feminine. In addition, it was really pleasant to hear.

"There's no problem," Kanae smiled and answered on Misae's behalf. "Misae also can't play basketball too well."

"You don't have to say that outright!"

"It's the truth."

The girl watched the two girls in front of her arguing. They didn't seem like bad students, so she nodded her head in agreement.

"Okay."

Kanae smiled. "Now we have three people. By the way, I'm Kanae and this is Misae."

"I'm Alice."

The three of them formed a group, and the other girls didn't persuade Kanae to join their team anymore. In any case, the teacher was not going to score their performance. There was no need for them to make any trouble.

It was only after they finished selecting the teams did the girls come to the field.

The teacher sighed when he saw that the girls finally finished changing. The boys had already lined up while the girls had just come. He could never understand why the girls would take their sweet time just to change clothes. He ordered them to line up and begin stretching.

While they were stretching, the students would count from one to ten. Each student would get their turn to count loudly. Not long after that, the stretching was over and the teacher ordered them to run around the field.

After the run, they began to form the group because today's lesson was about basketball. They could play the ball freely after the teacher gave them a few instructions.

Misae sighed, "I wish the teacher would not nag at every turn. I'm already tired from his words."

Kanae smiled in response. If it was not because of Misae's wrong posture when dribbling the ball, the teacher would not have nagged at her. However, it seemed that Misae was just not a sports person. She repeatedly made a mistake at every turn.

"Lower your arm! Turn here! Don't sidestep there, or you will crash into your teammate!"

Kanae watched from the sideline as the teacher instructed Misae. It took Misae a long time to finish listening to the instruction.

Even Alice was stunned when she saw Misae being scolded more than her by the teacher. However, it was clear to see that the two of them performed the poorest in sports.

"Finally, the teacher lets me go," Misae complained.

Kanae took the ball from the side. "Let's play a game. The other girls are waiting for us."

"They will surely guard you," Misae smiled bitterly. Among the three of them, only Kanae was able to play the basketball very well.

Alice nodded her head, but Kanae just smiled. When the game started, the first ball went to Kanae and three girls immediately surrounded her. Looking at that situation, she immediately passed the ball to Misae on the side.

Misae dribbled the ball to the ring, but her poor movement allowed the other girls to catch up to her. On her other side, Kanae already caught up, so Misae simply gave the ball to Kanae. With the ball in her hand, Kanae stopped abruptly and shot a three-pointer.

The game proceeded with Kanae scoring most of the points. The opponents were trying hard to guard against Kanae, but they were not completely successful.

Before long, the game ended.

"That's quite a weird way to score a basket," Misae laughed as she nudged Kanae.

"You two are unable to score any points," Kanae remarked. She had created chances repeatedly, but Misae and Alice were unable to use them fully. In the end, their game ended with a draw.

"If it's a game using the full court, it'll definitely be harder for Kanae to dominate the field," Misae remarked.

Alice looked towards the court. "Don't you want to play another game?"

The game with her and Misae restricted Kanae a lot. Without suitable teammates and opponents, there was no way this girl could play to her fullest potential.

Kanae nodded. "I'll play again, what about you two?"

Misae immediately shook her head. "I'm not into sports and my body already feels tired from chasing after the ball just now."

Alice nodded her head in agreement. She too didn't want to chase after the ball anymore after getting enough exercise just now.

Kanae didn't force them and joined a different group to play in the entire court. Not long after the game started, the girls were already cheering loudly.

Snatching the ball from the opponent, Kanae dribbled the ball to the opposite side of the court. Escaping from the opponent's chasing, Kanae speed was faster than her. Leaping up, she scored a point spectacularly. Even from outside the court, Misae could see the beautiful play Kanae showed.

"Kanae is really cool! If only she were a man, there wouldn't be any lack of girls chasing after her."

"Even so, she is really amazing."

"The only flaw about her is her sleeping habit, but she looks really cute when she's sleeping."

The other girls who didn't play were already mesmerized by Kanae's play. Misae could understand them because she too, once had the same feeling. Watching Kanae's beautiful play, it was truly a shame that she was not a man.

Fortunately, Kanae's face was not that of outstanding beauty. If it were really the case, there would be no lack of men chasing after her. Her face was pretty plain and because of her glasses, she looked like the studious type, despite her habit of sleeping in class.

At that moment, Kanae managed to escape from her opponent and scored another beautiful three-pointer shot.

Alice blinked a few times as she watched Kanae play. "She looks different."

"She's more energetic on the court," Misae answered before sighing, "And more handsome."

Hearing that, Alice's lips twitched. Kanae was not a boy. That description definitely didn't match the other party at all.

At that time, the games were finally over with Kanae's group scoring an overwhelming win, and Kanae jogged to Misae. She was surprised to see her best friend look like she was thinking so hard, "Why are you daydreaming?"

Misae looked towards Kanae with a fervent gaze. "If you're a man, no girls will refuse you."

"…"

Misae was then hit by a basketball.
