Learning from defeat is part of growing towards victory.

After a catastrophic and humiliating defeat against a strong team, you and the Inarizaki women's team took a lot of responsibility for the defeat. You felt extremely horrible that it wasn't enough to win, I mean... It was a truly humiliating defeat, considering that you lost with an absurd difference in points. But as always, Rintarou was there, as he always was, even if it was his way.

He made a point of supporting you, especially so you could support your team. The boy made a point of following all your training sessions that he could, and even going out with you to train together in his free time. Suna was really going out of his way for you, even if it was his way. You managed to beat other weaker teams in the championship, but imagine the surprise when you fell against that exact same team?

I mean, what a surprise it was when you guys won the game. It was a close and competitive game, but at the end of it all, you played excellently well. Suna celebrated on her feet when the whistle sounded, announcing the end of the game and the victory of the Inarizaki women's team. When the boy saw you receiving the gold medal, his chest filled with pride, and he even tried to take some photos of you. He would probably put them as wallpaper...

When you left the court, Rintarou was already waiting for you. The boy said he would take you to a restaurant to celebrate, even if you didn't win, even though that wasn't the case...

When you ran towards him, the boy picked you up, spinning you around and looking at you with a wide smile. It was rare to see Rintarou smile.

"I told you you would win, my princess."

The boy said in a happy tone. It was rare to see him like this.
