As I said, it doesn't matter which team wins the match.

It was a friendly game afterall.

When the game was over, I grabbed the towel I brought from my bag earlier.

"Great job, man!"

Akio patted me on the back, I looked Makoto who was busy wiping his glasses, I laughed as I wiped my forehead.

"As expected from the football club, I had a hard time keeping the ball."

"sigh, I should be saying that to you.."

"Yeah, Hugo-dono, you're really saying that when it was your team who won..."

I just laughed it off since I didn't know what to say, I hung the towel on my neck and asked

"Do you guys know where the vending machine is?"

"You didn't bring water?"

"Yeah.."

"It's over there..."

I took my wallet and went ahead.

□ □ □

"shi-"

I hurriedly stopped when I almost uttered a swear.

I held my temples and sighed.

"excuse me"

I head a voice behind, I was so startled I couldn't even exclaim.

I turned around and saw Haruki Hana.

"oh it's you, you can go ahead, Hana"

I moved to the side as I watched her insert coins in the vending machine.

She crouched down and took a bottle of cucumber juice and a sports drink.

Standing up, she unexpectedly walked towards me and held out the sports drink.

"Are you giving it to me?"

"yes"

"..why?"

This was quite nice of her...but I asked anyway, I wasn't sure if she's the same them, but before I came to Japan, the girls that would do me favors always asked for something...

It was fine to repay them, but what some asked for were rather unreasonable.

"Han-senpai can consider it as thanks for earlier at lunch."

"ohh I see, then I'll accept it, thank you"

"It's nothing Han-senpai"

"ah, Hugo is fine, Han seems a little awkward to hear.."

"Then, Hugo-senpai"

"yes?"

"You should bring coins next time, goodbye."

With that she turned away...

I slapped my forehead with my palm, my wallet only contained credit cards and I.D.s.

I didn't bring a single cash, much less a coin...

"yeah...I really should.."

I smiled and opened the cap of the bottle.

I drank some water as I looked at Haruki Hana who walked away.

*pang!!*

"..."

"..."

She's quite the klutz...

I ran towards her and asked as I crouched down.

"Are you injured?"

"Shouldn't senpai ask if I'm okay?"

"I'm sure you aren't"

"..."
