Chapter 81
A week before the last day party, Eru is at her gameroom after school, and sees Yuki and Minoru coming.
Yuki: Hey Eru!
Eru: Hey Yuki and Minoru.
Minoru: I see that you are playing with dices.
Eru: Umm, yes.
She stacks them to stand and touch to see it fall.
Yuki sees Rin and Ren playing Kirby.
Rin: Go grab the fire ones.
Ren: I will need them.
Shirou comes in and sees Rin.
Shirou: Hi Rin!
Rin: Hey Shirou!
Shirou: Mind if I join?
Rin: No problem! Me and Ren are co-oping so you can watch for now.
Shirou: Ok.
He walks to them while Eru pokes the dice again to see it fall.
Yuki: Want to play Mortal Kombat or Splatoon?
Minoru: I pick Splatoon.
Yuki: Ok.
Yuki and Minoru left Eru’s desk.
After Eru pokes another sets of dices, she sees her friends hanging out with each other. She feels alone.
Eru stands up and thinks if she wants to hang with them, but she’s in charge of the gameroom.
Eru: I don’t want to be shy.
She walks to Yuki and Minoru.
Eru: Guys.
Minoru: Yes, Eru?
Eru: …May I play one round with you both?
Yuki: Yes! Just pick up the controller. It’s the three of us now!
Eru: Thanks!
They all played games, and after gameroom ended, Eru sees people leaving, and Rin is about to leave.
Rin: Did you have fun playing with Yuki and Minoru?
Eru: Yes.
Rin: Cool. Are you excited for next friday? The party before summer break.
Eru: I do want to join.
Rin: Good! You don’t want to miss anything there! It’s our last summer party in school! I will be with Shirou, Yuki and Minoru are doing something special to each other, and Retasu is going with Takahashi.
Eru: I see.
They both walk out from the room, and walk together.
Rin: Not to be nosy, but do you have someone you love?
Eru: Umm, no. I don’t.
Rin: It’s fine. I’m not judging you.
Eru smiles.
Rin: We got exams first, and I’m gonna spend time studying during the weekend!
Eru: Me to.
Rin: Do you have summer plans coming up?
Eru: I’m going to Kanto Region next week and visit Akihabara.
Rin: I heard they have great stuffs there.
Eru sees her ride from the window, and proceeds to run. Rin sees her running.
Rin: Uhh? Eru?
Eru exited the building, and heads to her ride.
Rin sees her going in.
Rin: She seems excited, I guess.
Next Wednesday during lunch, Yuki and Minoru are having lunch at the top roof.
Minoru: In the party, we will sign our names on a secret wall with many senior couples.
Yuki: Yep! It will be the best party we ever had in this school.
Minoru: Yeah. So who’s in charge of the party since you won’t be the announcer?
Yuki: Two girls. Lia and Kyanna.
Minoru: Oh yeah, they know how to throw a party.
Yuki: I let them to take over so that I will have a bit more time in the party.
Minoru: That’s a good idea.
Yuki: Not only that, but we are gonna do cool things over the summer.
Minoru: Our last summer break was very fun! It was nice spending with you and our friends.
Yuki: Absolutely.
Minoru: Remember we did a reenactment last year when you came to see my drawings and asked me out?
Yuki: That’s what we wanted something like that to happen from two years ago, and we recorded last year to see the possibilites if we met earlier.
Minoru: Yeah. Are we gonna do something special together besides the secret wall?
Yuki: Umm, I’ll think of something before Friday.
Minoru: All right.
Later after school, Minoru walks with Ayano and they left school.
Ayano: I can’t wait for the party! It sounds like a cool event!
Minoru: It is. You will be happy to see cool stuffs our friends are gonna show.
Ayano: Nice! With Yuki around, I bet she always does something very cool there!
Minoru: We know Yuki. She always having a blast.
Ayano: Yep. I think without Team Phase around, nothing can ruin it.
Minoru: The party will enjoy itself than with them around. That’s what Yuki said.
Ayano: Sounds funny!
In the beginning of Friday, Eru wakes up and stops the alarm from her phone.
Eru: (yawns) The party is today.
She gets up and wears her normal outfit.
As soon Eru is by the livingroom, her butler sees her with her normal outfit.
Butler: Eru, are you supposed to wear school uniform?
Eru: I heard you can wear anything on the party this year.
Butler: All right. And are you fine without a dress?
Eru: It’s just an average party.
Butler: It’s a party you will be going as a senior.
Eru’s parents came to the room.
Father: Good morning Eru!
Eru: Hi Mom and Dad.
Mother: Eru, I think you should wear something fancy if the party allows any clothes.
Eru: Umm, okay.
Near the school property, Minoru and Ayano are walking. Minoru is wearing a cheap tuxedo and Ayano wears her normal outfit.
Ayano: I can’t wait to go in!
Minoru: Me to. Is Sakura coming?
Ayano: Yeah. She’s gonna come with Rin.
Minoru: Cool.
As they entered, they see Yuki with Red cocktail with red shorts.
Minoru: Wow! Awesome!
Yuki: Hey Minoru. This is my first dress, and I got it shortly and feels very comfortable, including a red short shorts inside.
Minoru: Cool!
Ayano: Your first dress?
Yuki: I don’t like dresses, but this one is my only exception.
Minoru: I see.
Yuki: And you in your tuxedo, you look very cute with it. It makes you look nice.
Minoru: Thanks, Yuki.
Yuki: Shall we go in?
Minoru: Yeah!
Yuki: You first.
Ayano sees Yuki and Minoru walking. She then sees Rin and Sakura on her left.
Ayano: Hi Rin and Sakura!
Sakura: Ayano!
Rin wears a frilly dress while Sakura wears her normal outfit.
Ayano: Hey Sakura! We are gonna do a lot of great things today!
Sakura: Yep! Let’s run to the back of the school!
Ayano: Okay!
They both ran off. Rin sees then running.
Rin: Wow.
She sees Eru’s car coming in and Eru got off.
Rin: Hey Eru. Nice dress!
Eru: Umm, thanks.
Butler: You can call me when the party is over.
Eru: Okay.
The butler drives and left.
Rin: Eru, remember we had fun on last year’s party?
Eru: Yes.
Rin: It’s a senior, so we gotta do a lot of activities. You should get to show the peers your talents.
Eru: What talents?
Rin: We got arcades hooked up outside, and you are great at video games.
Eru: The arcades from school?
Rin: Yeah.
Eru: That’s good. I would like to play, but I wanna meet friends too.
Rin: Sounds good.
At the back of the school, we see speakers and hear music. Tables and foods and drinks are in the area.
Kyanna and Lia are at the stage.
Kyanna: I got a surprise for Yuki and Minoru. They want to stay longer here than anyone else.
Lia: What is it?
Kyanna: Just something special. I hear they want to sign their love on the secret wall from the rooftop, and since Yuki is really well known and is a good friend of mines, I want to do something that helps out their relationship.
Lia: That’s a good one. What exactly?
Kyanna: I’ll save it until near the end.
Lia: All right. Should I help?
Kyanna: I was gonna ask, so yes.
Lia: Awesome.
They grab their microphones.
Kyanna: Welcome to Fujiwara’s Summer Party! We got many drinks and snacks at the food table!
Lia: And we got a lot of activities here! You guys will enjoy anything in the party!
Yuki talks with her peers.
Yuki: This summer, I plan plenty of adventures to do. It will be fun.
Boy1: Cool! You rock!
Boy2: I like your dress!
Boy3: What about parks?
Yuki: I plan to go to few cities in this country. I want to go to Akihabara and Tokyo Disneyland. I know I will be going to Kyoto later on to visit my family’s temple.
Boy4: Sounds like a lot of cool stuff!
Girl1: Hey boy, are you gonna be with her on those trips?
Minoru: Pretty much some of it. I also have few trips planned already.
Boy1: We got ours planned too.
Rin and Eru went to the food area to get drinks.
Rin: I got my favorite drink.
Eru: Me to.
Rin sees Retasu coming.
Rin: There is Retasu! I’ll be right back in a little bit.
Rin runs to Retasu.
Retasu: Hi Rin!
Rin: Hey Retasu.
Retasu: Did you see Yuki?
Rin: I didn’t see her, but I bet she’s here already. I saw Minoru’s sister.
Retasu: All right.
They both walk and sees Yuki hanging with her fans.
Retasu: I never saw Yuki wore a dress before.
Rin: Although it’s just a very simple red dress. Nothing frilly, and yet, I bet her fans finds her hot.
Retasu: Pretty much.
Rin: I’m gonna ask.
Rin walks to Yuki.
Yuki: Hey Rin.
Rin: Hey Yuki. When did you get that dress?
Yuki: I got it from few weeks ago. It just looks easy and simple, so I got that and red shorts underneath.
Rin: Of course, you would pick something that simple, for your taste.
Yuki: It was easy to get.
Minoru: What do you think of mine?
Rin: Looks pretty cute.
A while later, Retasu sees Takahashi coming.
Retasu: Hi!
Takahashi: Hello, Retasu.
Retasu: Do you want to get a drink with me?
Takahashi: Yes!
Meanwhile, Eru is looking at the arcades.
Rin sees Eru looking at them and walks to her.
Rin: Eru, did they just bring it?
Eru: I saw them bring it. It’s not plugged yet.
Rin: I see. Did you see Shirou? The blue hair guy?
Eru: No.
Rin: Me and Shirou, Yuki and Minoru, Retasu and Takahashi, and few couples are going to the roof to sign love signatures on a secret wall.
Eru: Ok.
Rin: It would take several minutes. I’m sure you would want to find someone to hang with.
Eru: No thanks. I don’t need a boyfriend.
Rin: I meant spending time with someone. It doesn’t have to be romantic. Speaking of it, why aren’t you into romance?
Eru: I don’t want to be in love with someone because relationships is a big work for me, and I feel it’s very complicated. I don’t want to get pressure or any drama. I’m just afraid of what would happen to me or my future.
Rin: Yuki and Minoru and few couples are doing fine.
Eru: I know. I’m not good with romance. I prefer being single. I just want to have friends because I think it’s easier for me.
Rin: Sounds fine. Sorry for asking you that.
Eru: It’s fine. I do love video games.
Rin: There’s that. Go play the arcades while we are up.
Eru: Okay.
A while later, the friends are at the roof.
Kyanna and Leo are at the secret wall, signing their names in a drawn heart.
Kyanna: There we go! We’re there!
Leo: Nice!
Kyanna: Your turn, Yuki!
Yuki: All right.
They left while Yuki and Minoru go to the wall.
Yuki: Here’s a marker for you. You draw better than me.
Minoru: Thanks.
He grabs the marker, draws a heart, puts stick figures of Yuki and Minoru, hugging. He adds action Yuki stick figure and himself as a drawer. They both sign their names inside it.
Yuki: You made it really good.
Minoru: I know. Let me take a pic of it.
He uses his phone and takes a picture of it.
Yuki: Now we get to keep that photo.
Minoru: And I bet this one will be the best one on this wall in our book.
Yuki: Definately!
They walk out.
Rin and Shirou sign theirs.
Shirou: This is neat!
Rin: It does! I love you!
Shirou: Me to.
Retasu and Takahashi gets to sign it.
Retasu: Forever, we will be together.
Takahashi: Yes. I just added musical notes around the heart.
Retasu: I like it.
Yuki and Minoru are at the gym, being empty.
Yuki: Remember two years ago, we were both here when a party was here?
Minoru: Yes. We were both trying to interact, but it didn’t happen. It was our second party.
Yuki: Our first party was from 2014. I attend, but I didn’t see you.
Minoru: I was pretty lonely. I actually didn’t attend. I only had one or two friends. Leon and Oka was a little later when we became friends.
Yuki: Hmm. I know you were under some issues with teachers who were against you back then, but why didn’t you attend your freshmen summer party?
Minoru: I thought many people thought I was weird because the teachers I had was giving me a hard time. My classmates think I was the only weird person in class, and I thought at the time, I wasn’t gonna enjoy the school because I was afraid of getting worse things.
Yuki: Sounds like an interesting story. I know some non popular kids I met are kinda in the same story, and I would like to make them smile.
Minoru: You seem pretty noble because you want to entertain a lot of people. You seem pretty nice as a popular person. What made you be a noble person?
Yuki: I want to spend time with people who enjoys having fun, and I want them to smile with me. I was willing to help them out against bullies and I hear some stories about unpopular people being the butt of everyone’s jokes, even though they may not deserve it.
Minoru: Were you one of them in the past?
Yuki: As of matter of fact, I had people who were against me or my friends. However, I dealt with them myself, and those problems get solved eventually.
Minoru: Cool. Remember you told me back at my aunt’s house that you dreamed that the party from two years ago, that you saw what happened if we met in the party?
Yuki: Yes. Everyone was happy for us. I’m not psychic, but I think the peers would be happy if I announce my love for anybody, like you.
Minoru: I’m glad your fans understand. Again, how are a lot of them respectful to our relationship from the beginning?
Yuki: I helped some of these guys with their problems. I hang with them, and made sure they get the respect. I don’t want to act popular like the bratty ones. I want to work legitimately to meet a lot of kids here.
Minoru: Sounds like that’s a good reason.
Yuki starts to blush.
Yuki: Well…I remember seeing you around prior to the 2015 summer party. I’m glad we made things better for you. You are able to have more friends, and you smile more often here.
Minoru: I am glad you are willing to help me for almost two years. I wouldn’t know what it would be like if I haven’t met you, but I’m glad we did.
Yuki: Yeah. I learned a lot of many things because of you. You seem pretty helpful too.
Minoru starts blushing.
Minoru: Hehe. I…I’m happy that we stayed together.
Yuki: Same here. I do love doing cool things and all, but it’s even greatful with you around.
Minoru: I love to see you do those activities. That’s why I think you’re the coolest girlfriend.
Yuki: And you are the amazing boyfriend.
They both start kissing while holding each other.
After several second kiss, Yuki and Minoru let go of each other.
Yuki: Wow. It brings me joy.
Minoru: Me to. Want to go back to the party?
Yuki: You bet.
They start going back to the party.
Meanwhile, Eru is playing an arcade with Leon.
Oka: Wow. Eru is doing pretty good.
Leon: I didn’t know you had such a great skills.
Eru: Well, thanks.
Leon: I wonder where is Yuki and Minoru.
Oka: Probably they have something to do.
They both see Yuki and Minoru coming.
Yuki: Hey friends.
Some of her fans comes up to her to talk.
Boy1: You’re gonna play some games?
Yuki: Yes. This is a party, so we must have fun!
Yuki walks to Eru.
Yuki: Eru, you want to play against each other in the arcade?
Eru: Umm, yes.
Yuki: Guys! I’m gonna play against Eru Hibika. She’s pretty good at video games.
Boy2: Hello, Eru!
Girl1: You’re from the game room for after school.
Eru: I am the manager.
Minoru: Let’s watch.
Yuki and Eru are playing capcom fighting games.
Yuki: Three characters?
Eru: Yes.
During the game, Yuki beats Eru on the first round, Eru beats Yuki on the second round, and on the third round, Eru beats Yuki.
Eru: Wow!
Yuki: GG. I seem to won a lot, but Eru deeply studies the mechanics.
Kyanna: Cool!
Eru: Thanks, Yuki.
Minoru: The match was amazing.
Yuki: Yeah.
We see montages of Yuki playing along with her friends, including Rin, Retasu, Takahashi, Shirou, Eru, Leon, and Oka. They do several activities in the entire party.
Later, the party is about to be over, and Kyanna and Lia are on the stage. Kyanna turns on the microphone.
Kyanna: We sure are having fun on this party. Sadly, it is almost over, and this is both of our last summer party here.
Lia: We’re seniors, and we want to make sure you guys are having a good time before we leave.
Kyanna: Get some goods on the tables, and say goodbye to your friends before leaving.
Eru walks to Yuki.
Eru: Yuki.
Yuki: Eru?
Eru: I want to say thanks. Our match.
Yuki smiles.
Yuki: No problem. Maybe we can see each other a bit during summer.
Eru: Yeah. I gotta go.
Minoru: Take care.
Eru nods, and ran off.
Minoru: This is the best party we have.
Yuki: So far. Don’t forget a senior year party before our graduation.
Minoru: Yeah. I’m looking forward to it by spring. I am gonna be sad by the time it comes, because I will miss this place.
Yuki: I see your point. It is our last year, so we gotta enjoy every bit of our year as much as we can.
Minoru: You’re right.
Lia walks to them.
Lia: Hey Yuki and Minoru.
Yuki: Hey Lia.
Lia: After everyone leaves from the party, me and Kyanna have something for you both. It’s gonna be by the courtyard, but go when the party is gone.
Minoru: Is it a surprise?
Lia: You bet.
She runs off.
Yuki: I wonder what that is about.
Minoru: We will just have to wait and see.
Later when almost everyone left the party, Ayano and Shirou are left. Ayano talks to Minoru.
Ayano: Minoru, what are you gonna tell me?
Minoru: Me and Yuki got arranged something after the party, and I’m gonna come home later.
Ayano: Oh. All right. See you at home then.
Shirou talks to Yuki:
Yuki:…Don’t forget to have enough watermelon seeds to pop the ballons from far. That’s how to win the ballon game the next time you play it.
Shirou: Sure. I’ll be going to Rin’s place. See you next time.
Yuki: All right. Bye.
Both Yuki and Minoru went to the running courtyard, and sees the table. Kyanna and Lia are there.
Lia: Hey guys!
Minoru: Wait! You both prepared a special date here for us?
Kyanna: Well, we wanted to. It’s a private one. I cooked some foreign food for you both.
Lia: And I set up the table and chairs.
Kyanna: I also got my small portable player here.
Yuki: Nice! Looks good.
Minoru: Thanks, girls.
Kyanna: No problem. You both like anime music?
Yuki: We do.
Kyanna: I’ll just play it here while you both have fun.
Lia: We got cleaning up to do.
Kyanna: Enjoy!
They both left.
Yuki: Wow. I didn’t even think they will arrange our date here, but all I said is to spend time longer.
Minoru: I guess they care about our relationship.
Yuki: You’re right.
They both eat.
Yuki: They taste great.
Minoru: I sometimes eat foreign food.
Yuki: At times, I do.
Minoru: Yes. I think your gym mates are pretty nice to us.
Yuki: They are. I’ve been with them for pretty long.
Minoru: That’s cool.
They continue to talk while having a date.
