Playing house in the anime world

"You two are Momoi Satsuki and Gojo Aiko, right?"

The black-haired boy spoke first.

"I'm Nijimura Shuzo, the current captain of the basketball team. Let me introduce you. This is our coach Platinum."

(Actually, I always thought Captain Nijimura was pretty handsome too, hehe)

Gojo Aiko noticed that he did not introduce the red-haired boy.

If you think about it carefully, he should be a freshman like them, and no one knows why he came here.

Is he here to interview the manager as well?

Aiko Gojo took a look at his height and felt that it was very likely.

After a few words, Aiko Gojo knew why the two of them were treated specially.

To be precise, it was Taoi Satsuki who received special treatment.

Because Aomine Daiki has already gained some fame in the basketball field, as the woman behind Aomine Daiki, Momoi Satsuki has naturally been noticed by the basketball departments of various schools.

As for why Aiko Gojo was also called in... because of her experience of skipping two grades, the school has always been giving her a little special care.

And since she was able to skip two levels, she must be smart. For various considerations, and since they both happened to come together, it was natural to let them come for the interview together.

The first one is naturally Momoi Satsuki. Her ability is unquestionable, and she is very experienced in this area. After all, she has been helping Aomine Daiki participate in various competitions since she was a child.

Aiko Gojo was listening nearby and seemed to understand something.

There is a high probability that Momoi Satsuki will be the manager of the first team, so the captain Nijimura Shuzo and the head coach of the basketball team came to interview her in person.

They should have come here temporarily to interview Taoi Satsuki. They were probably not the ones in charge of the interview here before.

As for the red-haired young master... Gojo Aiko guessed that he should also be a key training target of the basketball team, such as... the next captain, so she also let him participate in such a very important matter as interviewing the manager.

After all, the manager and the vice-captain are the captain's right-hand men.

After listening to Momoi Satsuki's interview for a while, Aiko Gojo lost interest and lowered her head.

Most of the answers were basically the same as the information she had just looked up on the Internet, and a lot of the content was about Aomine Daiki, with the focus being on how she helped Aomine Daiki collect information about his opponents and arrange tactics.

Aiko Gojo is a contestant with zero experience, so I guess they wouldn't deliberately ask her about this during the interview.

However, the basketball club's activities lasted a little longer than she thought. But anyway, there was nothing to do after school except doing homework, so it didn't matter.

School ends around three in the afternoon, and then there is a two-hour long club activity.

Of course, not all clubs have such long activities. Most of them should be about an hour.

Aiko Gojo calculated that she could finish her homework in about half an hour because she was very good at finding time to do her homework.

If she hadn't been looking up information just now, she would have used the half hour of waiting to do her homework.

"Aiko-chan~" Taoi Satsuki sat back next to Gojo Aiko, "It's your turn~"

Gojo Aiko came back to her senses and saw Nijimura Shuzo and Coach Shirogane looking at her.

Oops, I got caught for being distracted...

Although Gojo Aiko thought so in her heart, she stood up very calmly and sat on the interview chair.

Directly opposite her were Shuzo Nijimura and Coach Platinum.

"You've never been in the basketball club before, right?" Nijimura Shuzo went straight to the point.

Isn't there that boring and useless self-introduction segment?

Aiko Gojo silently gave a thumbs up to Shuzo Nijimura.

"No."

"How much do you know about basketball? Do you understand the basic rules of the game?"

"I roughly understand it. Do you want me to recite it again?"

"I'll ask a few questions, and you answer them."

"..."

After asking a few questions, Taoi Satsuki's expression gradually began to show shock.

In just half an hour, she actually memorized all that information?!

And during this half hour, she even took some time to check out the school forum...

Momoi Satsuki was shocked, and her filter of "genius girl" for Gojo Aiko deepened even more.

Genius, this is definitely genius!

Tao Jing Satsuki spent a lot of time memorizing this information!

And a big part of the reason why she could remember it so clearly was because she played many games with Aomine Daiki. After experiencing it directly on the court, she naturally remembered all the rules and regulations of basketball.

Nijimura Shuzo touched his chin, feeling a little embarrassed.

Because he felt that Aiko Gojo could also be the manager of an army.

Although she does not have as much experience as Taoi Satsuki, her professional knowledge is actually better than that of the captain.

After all, even as the captain, he couldn't have a clear grasp of all this information.

It’s simply a human-shaped basketball encyclopedia.

And she is not the type who can only memorize materials. She really understands the materials and can think deeply about them in combination with reality.

Shuzo Nijimura asked Aiko Gojo what she thought about the grading system of the basketball team, a question that could not be answered on the Internet. She was still able to talk about it in conjunction with the current situation of the basketball team of Teiko Junior High School.

What she said made sense, and it was almost the same reason why the basketball team established this system.

Shuzo Nijimura couldn't help but want to ask more in-depth questions to see how Aiko Gojo would answer, but this was just a manager interview and he couldn't ask any more questions. It would be impolite to ask again!

Shuzo Nijimura finally decided to place Aiko Gojo in the second army, but she could promote Aiko Gojo to the first army next year because a year is enough for her to accumulate experience.

Anyway, there is no rule that an army can only have one manager.

Moreover, the second team is actually the substitute of the first team. Although they are not used under normal circumstances, they are also very important. Many players of the first team will first stay in the second team for a period of time. After the coach is familiar with their style and strength, he will decide whether to let them join the first team.

But this year... Nijimura Shuzo glanced at the red-haired boy beside him.

This year may be different. After all, geniuses will always be treated preferentially based on their strength.

After the interview, Aiko Gojo and Satsuki Momoi were both hired on the spot.

“That’s great!” Taoi Satsuki was excited, “Aomine-kun will be in my hands from now on, Aiko-chan! Make sure he eats more vegetables!”

Aiko Gojo was confused. Did the manager have to take care of the team members' meals? But wasn't she the second-tier manager?

Aomine Daiki must be the first army, right?

After all, he has received much attention from the basketball team, so Aomine Daiki must be a very powerful seeded player.

Watching the backs of Gojo Aiko and Momoi Satsuki leaving, Nijimura Shuzo sighed: "This year is really an extremely special year."

He had a feeling that the Teiko Junior High School basketball team would never be at peace in the next three years.
