Entering the field area, Nathan began to stretch his body while waiting for confirmation to enter and replace a player who was seen injured in his leg.
Nathan's appearance on the field certainly made Kanae and Eimi quite surprised, because only students were allowed to participate in this match.
Not only they were surprised, but other spectators also felt the same because the first time they saw the figure of Nathan was at the University.
Once confirmed, Nathan immediately entered and tried to familiarize himself with other players.
Unexpectedly Nathan only realized that his opponent was Tanaka who a few days ago had a problem with him.
Nathan smiled faintly and nodded towards Tanaka, while Tanaka himself was not pleased with Nathan's presence there.
Nathan's gaze was then diverted to the scoreboard where his team was twenty points behind Tanaka's far superior team.
Instead of feeling like he would lose because there was only ten minutes left, Nathan actually felt happy and as if he was nostalgic about the basketball game he participated in when High School first.
The whistle was immediately sounded by the referee and the match resumed. Nathan who got the ball pass immediately shot towards the ring from the midfield line.
Nathan's shot seamlessly got into the ring and got his team three scores easily. What Nathan did certainly made his team feel good, but not his opponent.
The ball is back on the pass by the opposing side and they start to execute an attacking strategy. Until when an opposing player shoots from outside the ring line, his shot bounces and misses to make the ball is now in teammate Nathan.
A counterattack is attempted and this time Nathan is overshadowed by a two-meter-tall man who appears to be from South America.
Nathan's movements seemed to be in the key and make it difficult to get a bait, but this is certainly not a problem for Nathan.
When he got a pass, Nathan immediately pulled the ball and channeled a pass towards another player who immediately outwitted the man in front of him.
"Learn more often..." Nathan said with a faint smile mocking the big man before him who looked annoyed.
Points were again earned by Nathan's team after a colleague dunked perfectly tore the opponent's ring net.
The points slowly began to balance even Nathan's team score eventually outperformed Tanaka's team by a single point difference.
One minute left and Tanaka who did not want his team to lose finally thought of a devious plan to make Nathan suffered a serious injury, because the presence of the man had made his plan to get the attention of Eimi fail.
Until when Nathan is about to do a dunk trick, Tanaka who keeps in front of him deliberately crashed his own body, because he was very confident after getting a serum injection from a mysterious man the other day.
But the thing that Tanaka did not expect before happened, where he was pushed when he hit Nathan's body so hard that he fell.
As soon as scoring Nathan looked towards Tanaka in wonder, because it had deliberately hit him earlier but ended in failure.
The game finally ended with a score of 68-71 won by Nathan's team, they then got money worth 200 thousand Yen and took pictures together.
After taking a picture Nathan took off his shirt and exchanged with the big man who had previously been his opponent while forgiving.
Seeing Nathan bare-chested made some college students shout even their parents who were watching also shouted. Especially when Nathan soaks his hair with mineral water to cool his head and body that feels hot.
Eimi, who was annoyed by Nathan's behavior as if she had a charm, picked up the towel and gave it to the man.
"Hurry to the dressing room and get dressed properly!" Eimi said angrily as she held out a towel for Nathan.
"I want to take a picture with my friends. Wait for me outside later..." Eimi said before leaving Nathan.
Nathan simply nodded and then headed for the changing room to clean up his sweaty body before dressing as he was.
The man then approached Kanae who seemed to have been waiting for him outside the court where the basketball game before him.
Nathan had not yet spoken, Kanae suddenly pulled his collar and looked at him. "Ara~ Did you like it when the girls and their mothers yelled to cheer you up earlier?"
Gaining a murderous gaze from the woman he thought was calm and gentle, Nathan instantly became nervous. "Te-Of course not. How can you like it when you get a lot of attention from others, right?"
Kanae, who saw Nathan's look, became nervous, then sighed and released the Hoodie Nathan she had drawn.
"Other times can you not seek attention by taking off clothes in public?" Kanae asked while taking her eyes off Nathan.
"Well I understand, don't be angry again..." Nathan replies with a smile and hugs Kanae from behind.
"Then where is Eimi, why isn't she back with you?" Ask Kanae.
"Let's go, he said he wanted to take pictures with his friends and told me to wait for him outside..." Nathan's reply.
*******
On the other hand Tanaka who was in the dressing room with annoyed hit the door shelf near him until destroyed, because he felt he did not accept having to lose again to Nathan.
With overflowing anger, he immediately contacted his friends to carry out a plan that was clearly not a rising thing.
After contacting her friends Tanaka likely came out of the dressing room carrying a bag and walked down the hall.
Unexpectedly the person he was just about to look for turned out to appear and was walking alone while playing a mobile phone.
The person Tanaka was targeting was none other than Eimi, as soon as Tanaka approached directly hit Eimi's neck and immediately made the girl faint.
"Now who can disturb us, Eimi..." Tanaka said with an evil smile and immediately took Eimi who was fainting away.
*******
Nathan and Kanae, who had been waiting for Eimi for half an hour under the hot sun, never found the girl.
Even when asking Eimi's friends, Nathan and Kanae are only told that Eimi left half an hour ago.
Feeling that something was wrong Kanae immediately pulled out her phone and called Eimi's number but did not lift.
Until a message from a foreign number enters Nathan's phone and when opened they can both see Eimi being held captive in an old building.
In the message there is also a sentence saying that Nathan should come there within two hours before it is too late.
Finding a foreign place and not being given an address by the kidnapper will certainly make the search difficult. But not with Nathan, he easily asked Echelon for help tracking numbers.
