BSS – Vol 3 Prologue

<Sophia’s PoV>

“Ugh… morning already…?” (Sophia)

Waking up to the sound of my phone’s alarm, I slowly opened my eyes.

A week had passed since the match that decided my entry into the club, and today was the day I had been eagerly waiting for—the day I would officially join.

Yet, even so, I couldn’t fully rejoice.

“The day has finally come… but I still don’t know how to act around Kento-kun…” (Sophia)

Yes, even though a week had passed since then, I had awkwardly developed a strained relationship with Kento-kun.

The reason was—there was a rule in the baseball club that prohibited romantic relationships within the club.

“Mou! Mou! Why is it that even though I have more time to spent together with him, things have gotten so complicated? I can’t even talk to him properly!” (Sophia)

I pouted and bumped my head into the pillow, venting my frustration.

If anyone found out that I liked Kento-kun, it would cause trouble for him.

Worse, if Kento-kun ever realized how I felt, he might start avoiding me.

So, I had to make sure neither Kento-kun nor anyone else found out about my feelings. But the problem was, I didn’t know how to do that.

—No, there was one thing I could do to achieve that.

I could treat him coldly and keep my distance, just like before.

But that would undoubtedly make him hate me.

Not to mention, after everything Kento-kun did to help me join the club, it would be like repaying his kindness with betrayal.

No matter how much I wanted to hide my feelings, it wasn’t something that I could forgive myself for doing.

In fact, if I had to go that far, it would be better to just quit the club altogether.

Of course, I had no intention of treating him coldly.

And so, without finding an answer, I arrived at this day.

“Starting today, we’ll be together at practice… but how am I supposed to act in front of everyone…?” (Sophia)

I couldn’t even hold a normal conversation with him at home anymore.

Because of that, I hadn’t gotten my usual daily head pats as a reward recently, and it felt like everything was going wrong one after another.

“If only there was a way to make sure no one misunderstood my feelings, or thought we were dating…” (Sophia)

If such a convenient solution existed, I wouldn’t be struggling like this.

Thanks for reading!

I got a heart attack thinking that she was gonna go back to being cold to MC just to cover up, but thank god she was smart enough to not go that route.

You know, Sophia, there is one solution. It starts with “Onii” and ends with “-chan”. It would be so funny to see everyone react to her calling MC that.

Also, from the looks of the illustrations, new kouhai and senpai characters? Maybe they’re the other managers.

Btw, there is also an extra chapter after the epilogue this time, and the chapter is called “The Moment the School Madonna Found Out About Love”. So, yeah. I kinda got spoiled while reaching the ToC so I’ll spoil you guys too lol.
