"After this, we will officially be retired from this team," Kumiko spoke, her eyes went teary once again. She had been preparing herself for a moment like this, but once the moment arrived, the girl couldn't help but feel like crying right then. "Besides Ryukkun, Kuroki-kun, and Makino-kun, all of you will be the backbone of the team next year. I don't have too many requests, but I just hope that you can still take care of each other like this forever."
The three senior members couldn't help but snort, trying to hold back their tears as well.
"Don't worry about the head coach vacancy. I will make sure that whoever takes the role next year will be capable of guiding you to be a better player and a better team. In fact, the person in charge after this will probably be better than me."
This caused a wave of complaints to erupt all over the place.
"No, Senpai! Don't say something like that!"
"Yeah! For us, you are the best coach we could've imagined!"
