Chapter 87
Few days later after Yuki decides to leave her popularity due to complications, she is going to the game room after school.
She opens the door and sees Eru on her desk.
Yuki: Hey, Eru.
Eru: Oh, hey Yuki.
Yuki: I am happy you let me play games here.
Eru: I always allow everyone to play.
Yuki: So did you get new games delivered?
Eru: No. Not yet.
Yuki: Ok.
She starts playing games in the game room.
Leo comes in and sees Yuki.
Leo: Hey Yuki. Is this where you come here now?
Yuki: For after school activity, sometimes, but after the incident, I figured, why not the game room.
Leo: You’re brilliant. I’ve been trying to stop my girlfriend to laugh at you.
Yuki: Few of my friends are trying to do the same to my peers. Only one stopped.
Leo: I see.
He sees Yuki playing fighting games.
Leo: Cool. Want to play against each other?
Yuki: Sure.
They both started playing against each other.
Meanwhile, Team Phase has another meeting at the roof top.
Hiroshi: We sure defeated Yuki this time.
Lila: Now we got a lot of her followers to look after us.
Touko: I’m surprised they see us differently, kind of.
Hiroshi: It looks like we’re getting more audience, but we’re far off from being the most popular kids in school. We gotta have something that will make others think we have something special, and while they do, we can take advantage of each of them.
Kaname: Should we form our own show to expose news around the school like we did to Yuki?
Hiroshi: Something like that, but we gotta look more neutral so they can believe we’re the great ones.
Mizuro: We’re half way done with the senior year, and we gotta have many audience here on our side.
Hiroshi: This is just the beginning.
He starts raising the fist in the air.
Hiroshi: Team Phase! We are gonna be number one!
The rest also starts raising their fists.
Everyone: YES!
Next week, Yuki is in the hallway with Minoru.
Yuki: So, I started going to the game room more often after school, and I switched the performing class with study hall.
Minoru: Why did you give up on performing class?
Yuki: Everyone is still laughing at me that they won’t see my performances. Besides, study hall finishes my homework quicker.
Minoru: I see.
Yuki: Well, I’ve been going to the game room with Eru as a replacement for after school program.
Minoru: At least Eru is pretty nice.
Yuki: Yeah. I saw her making her own game. I think she is making a side scroller game with fairies.
Minoru: That sound like fun.
Yuki: It does.
Later, Yuki went to the closet with Minoru and they finished their lunch.
Minoru: We’re both done with our lunches. I’m gonna go to the classroom. Are you coming?
Yuki: I’ll catch up. I need to look for something.
Minoru: Ok.
He left the closet.
Yuki: Sweet guy.
She locks the door.
Yuki: I gotta watch something online.
She turns off the light, got her phone, and watches a video.
Yuki decides to watch a toddler show, Bear’s Mansion. She is watching it secretly.
Yuki: Here it comes.
She sees the bears singing. They start doing puzzle solving.
Yuki: This never gets old.
She smiles and enjoys the catchy music.
Yuki: Wow. Just like I remembered.
After school, Yuki is smiling while walking home with Minoru.
Minoru: Yuki. Did something great happen?
Yuki: Oh. I honestly feel like I am in a different world. Being a normal student instead of being popular seems like something I wanted to experience.
Minoru: Did you feel like you’re one of us?
Yuki: More so. Besides, I was able to finish homework more sooner so I was able to do my own activities afterwards.
Minoru: Sounds like a relief.
Yuki: Yeah.
They both are at the street and each are going to opposite sides to their homes.
Yuki: I will see you tomorrow.
Minoru: Okay! Bye!
Yuki: Bye!
As they walk, Yuki feels something.
Yuki: (Wait. Part of the reason was I was watching my childhood. I kinda want to talk to him about…I think he will understand.)
As Minoru continues walking, he hears Yuki coming.
Yuki: Minoru! I want to tell you something.
Minoru: Yes?
Yuki: Can you come to my house tomorrow? I got something to share that I have in my room.
Minoru: Oh. Yes. I’ll come.
Yuki: Thanks!
She runs out.
Minoru: What did she get?
The next day, Yuki is reading the book out loud.
Yuki: “The son went undercover and spied on his bully. Turns out his bully isn’t really a macho. He collects stuffed animals.”
Teacher: So what did we learn from that character.
Kaname: Excuse me, but his situation sounds a lot like Yuki, because her panties showed she’s still childish!
Everyone starts laughing at her.
Teacher: Guys! Enough. We can put that incident aw…
He giggles.
Yuki: Not this again.
Teacher: Okay. Umm, Kaname. Outside please.
Kaname: Aww. Well, that was worth the laugh.
She sits outside in the hall.
Later, Yuki and her class are in the gym. Yuki is lifting weights. She is talking to Minoru and Retasu.
Yuki: It’s still annoying that they keep reminding me about the incident. It doesn’t look like it will last short.
Retasu: That’s because they saw you as the tough girl who’s 18 already.
Yuki: You got a point, but not just Team Phase. A couple of others are starting the laughs too.
Minoru: Just barely anyone had changed their minds already. It happened just two weeks ago.
Yuki: Yeah. We only got Rin and Oka back, but that’s it. Also, not being popular actually helped my academic grades.
Minoru: She’s right.
Retasu: Well, you’re becoming the average kid in school. Popularity may be awesome, but you’re right about the hard work and time.
Yuki: Exactly.
Lila is far in the gym, seeing them talking and Lila talks to Kaname.
Lila: We did it. She’s forever humiliated. Two weeks so far.
Kaname: On yeah. Now we got almost the same audience as she used to have.
Lila: Yep. We are closer to having our power to make things believable.
Kaname: Believable and fame.
Lila: That’s what we’ve been waiting for. Let’s play with couple of kids here.
They start playing with their classmates.
After school, Yuki and Minoru left school.
Minoru: So what did you get?
Yuki: It’s not really recent, but I’ll tell you about it when we arrive in my room.
Minoru: All right.
Eventually, both Yuki and Minoru made it to her room.
Minoru sees a couple of video games on her table.
Minoru: Did you get all of them?
Yuki: That’s eight of them. I got it since my birthday.
Minoru: Wow.
He takes a closer look.
Minoru: A couple of them are popular, and all are mature.
Yuki: Yep. That’s the reason why I’m glad I am a legal adult.
Minoru: Did you finish them?
Yuki: I only finished three of them already.
Minoru: So which one are you playing right now?
Yuki: Grand Theft Auto V.
Minoru: Wow. I heard it’s really mature.
Yuki: Yep. It’s like having a life, but you can be the bad guy of the city and wreck everything. Not only that, but killing, stealing, and playing too.
Minoru: That’s what I thought.
Yuki: I think it’s one of my favorite game so far.
Minoru: I see.
He looks around the table.
Minoru: So, is this what you want to show me?
Yuki: Well, I do want to tell you about the new games I brought. It’s not exactly what I wanted to tell you.
Minoru: Oh. What is it.
Yuki sits down next to him.
Yuki: Do you like Bear’s Mansion?
Minoru: Bear’s Mansion? Yes.
Yuki: That’s nice. I wondered if you like it, because I like it too.
Minoru: Oh. You are a fan of it?
Yuki: Yes. I collected some of the toys in the last couple of years.
Minoru: That’s cool.
Yuki opens the cabinet and brings him the toys.
Yuki: Here are all of them that I own.
Minoru: Wow. You must really like the show since you were little.
Yuki: You’re right.
Minoru is having a sense of thought.
Minoru: Wait. Is this your secret?
Yuki: Well…yes. I secretly still like it, but it’s not just that.
She goes around and gets her teddy bear from the display.
Yuki: I know you see this stuffed animal here, but I never told you about him.
Minoru: Wow. It looks cute.
Yuki: Yep. I call it Teddy. We would hang out when I was a kid.
Minoru: I do have something like that in my room.
Yuki: That’s nice. This bear is my first toy I ever got and I wanted to keep it.
Minoru: Sounds sweet.
He has another sense of thought.
Minoru: Is that all your secrets?
Yuki: Look. I know I wanted to be an adult, who likes to play violent video games, owning a cool car, perform even cool activities, and be a modeler. It’s just that, I still have some habits that are deemed childish. They’re mostly a secret.
Minoru: So what they’re assuming is true?
Yuki: As a matter of fact, yes. I know wearing that panties was childish for me to wear at times, but I still have some things with me that I want to keep.
Minoru: Do you like watching toddler’s shows besides Bear’s Mansion?
Yuki: I watch a few of them. Bear’s Mansion is my favorite one, and I was watching it recently. I still like it even as an adult, and I know no one would find that acceptable.
Minoru: Yeah. I get you. I know how it feels like.
Yuki: Well, the pranked that happened two weeks ago was not only embarrassing, but it showed everyone that I have a secret childish side that I don’t want anyone else to see. They don’t expect that on a tough girl who already became an adult.
Minoru: I can see why it’s really rough for you, Yuki.
Yuki: I never lied about wanting to be an adult. It’s just that I don’t want to give up on things that I like when I grow older. I never wanted to be a boring woman.
Minoru: I see your point. I used to keep a secret outside of home. I thought I was the only guy in school who used to collect shoujo magazine and watch some anime that is targeted for girls. I do like one show about mermaids who can sing.
Yuki: Hmm. Did anyone found out you like them?
Minoru: Eventually, yes. They saw my magazine inside the backpack, and told everyone I liked girly shows. They all laugh at me and I didn’t want to come to school again.
Yuki: Wow. Same story.
Minoru: I remembered the whole thing. It took two weeks for everyone to forget.
Yuki: It’s gonna be long for me. I’m sorry that it happened to you.
Minoru: That’s how I feel about you. That’s why I didn’t find the prank funny.
Yuki: Totally. Mine is more embarrassing. I had the same feel that you do. I didn’t want to come to class or gym for the same reason.
Minoru: I could tell.
He looks at the teddy bear and the toys.
Minoru: Wow. Thanks for telling me your secret. I like it.
Yuki: Wait? What do you mean?
Minoru: I really find your secret very interesting. You’re really brave to tell me about your hidden side, and I agree with you. I do like your toys.
Yuki: Thanks Minoru. I trust you the most. That’s why I told you.
Minoru: Well, I am always happy for you. I think you are gonna be a great adult.
Yuki smiles.
Yuki: That’s nice to hear.
She kisses his cheek, and Minoru blushes.
Minoru: Hee…
He looks at the teddy bear.
Minoru: This bear looks sweet. Wait. Does everyone know you like stuffed animals?
Yuki: They do. But if it’s about a teddy bear you kept since you were a toddler, it will be no doubt childish.
Minoru: True.
He stands up.
Minoru: Yuki. What do you think about my story from grade school?
Yuki: Similar story, but I knew you would be into shoujo a bit.
Minoru: Yeah. It’s no longer a secret since I talked to Rin about a few of those shows.
Yuki: Well, that’s no wonder why you both talk in lunch about those shows.
Minoru: Yeah. Also, I don’t think you’re the only one who has that type of secret. I think many people have secrets they’re too embarrassed to share, and it’s mostly similar to your situation.
Yuki: Yeah. If Team Phase do have that type of secrets, they’re hypocrites.
Minoru: We don’t know.
Yuki: Well. We’ll see what is gonna happen later on.
Minoru: Yeah. Can we watch an episode of Bear’s Mansion together?
Yuki smiles.
Yuki: Sure.
They both are watching Bear’s Mansion.
Yuki: This is what I was watching yesterday.
Minoru: Cool.
They hear the bears play music while solving puzzles.
Minoru: I remember they would start out like this a couple of times.
Yuki: It’s really cute.
They continue to watch it.
Few days later, Yuki trains herself in gym class. Jumping around the punching bag and punches it.
Yuki: You won’t be escaping me, bag.
She kicks it.
Minoru and Retasu are near her.
Retasu: I see you decide to use jump and roll to attack.
Yuki: Both of those things give you an advantage to aim quickly and have the opponent less likely to dodge or escape the attack.
Minoru: The punch feels pretty strong when we hear you’re punching it.
Yuki: A strong punch is one powerful move from your hands.
Minoru: Amazing.
Leo and Eru are also in the room.
Leo: Thankfully, the coach lets us train here when everyone else is outside.
Yuki: It’s best that way. Kaname and Lila got their attention.
Eru: Do you watch One Punch Man?
Yuki: Oh yes! That’s one of my shows.
Minoru: Cool. At least the gym doesn’t have that much people.
Leo: Totally.
Yuki: I’m at no loss actually. I still have good reputation on my job and Ryo’s college.
Leo: Ryo’s College?
Yuki: The time when I was suspended.
Leo: Oh yeah. Your job is anime/manga performer.
Yuki: Well, performing the moves when dressing as a character I choose, socialize the people there about their interests, and I’m starting to be a modeler.
Leo: That’s cool.
Yuki looks around.
Yuki: Guys. I want to talk to each of you in the closet for a moment.
Retasu: Why?
Yuki: It’s really important.
Eru: Wouldn’t the coach think we’re missing?
Yuki: They’re doing tennis court, without us. He’s doing the game.
Leo: Okay.
They all went to the gym closet. Minoru closes the door.
Yuki: I know this is really gonna complicated, but I need to tell you guys something.
Minoru: Are you gonna tell them about, the secret?
Yuki: Just hear me out.
She looks at them.
Yuki: Remember everyone’s been asking me if I do have a secret?
Retasu: Yes.
Yuki: Well, you guys saw what happened, and I actually have a secret. I actually wanted to be an adult, but I still have few secretive habits that are seen as childish, and I didn’t want anyone to know. It’s not just the prank, but few other things.
Retasu: So you decide to wore it?
Yuki: I know, it’s childish for me, but I happened to have personal secrets. I bet you guys have them. Minoru, tell them your secret.
Minoru: Okay. As a kid, I collect shoujo magazines and watch some anime that is made for girls. It was a secret when I was in grade school.
Leo: Wow. That is somewhat more common nowadays.
Retasu: It’s no wonder you talk to me and Rin about those shows a couple of times.
Minoru smiles.
Yuki: Retasu. What’s your secret?
Retasu: My secret? Well, I sing. I never sing in public before because I’m too shy to sing at front of everyone.
Leo: Really? I bet you are gonna make a good career out of it.
Retasu: Maybe.
Yuki: Eru. You’re next.
Eru: Hmm… Are you sure you guys won’t think I’m weird if I tell you guys a secret?
Yuki: No way. We’re sharing ours. Bring it.
Eru. Okay…I am in love with Link and Steven Stone. They’re not real.
Retasu: Video game characters.
Minoru: Oh yeah. I had favorite characters I really like.
Retasu: That is common by the way.
Minoru: Tifa.
Yuki: Cloud.
Retasu: Archer.
Leo: Cynthia.
Yuki: Wow. I guess you’re not alone, Eru.
Eru blushed.
Yuki: Well…Leo. You got something?
Leo: Yes. I got pantsed in junior high, and it was a horrible experience.
Yuki: Very similar. That seems why you’re on my side.
Leo: Yeah.
Yuki: Okay. I’ll share mines. Do any of you still own a teddy bear at your house? The one from your childhood.
She eventually sees all of them raise their hands.
Retasu: I have a doll.
Minoru: A deer.
Eru: Teddy bear.
Leo: Me to.
Yuki: Yeah. I still kept mine. Now, who else still likes Bear’s Mansion?
Retasu: Is that a show that is still ongoing?
Yuki: Yes. The bear show for toddlers. I still like it.
Leo: Wow.
Eru smiles.
Minoru: I do.
Retasu: Sadly, I haven’t seen it that much.
Yuki: It’s all right. I am kinda a fan of that show, and those are my secrets.
Leo: I get that you kept all this a secret.
Retasu: Wow. You do like that show.
Yuki: Yeah. I know it doesn’t seem like I would be still into it, but I do. You guys have the right to think of who I am. It’s not common for our age to have those habits, I know.
She sees them look concerned. Eventually, they all smile and starts clapping. Yuki smiles.
Yuki: Well, thanks for understanding me, and understanding each other about our personal secrets.
Leo: No problem. It’s pretty interesting.
Retasu: Now I feel better admitting that I can sing.
Minoru: I told Yuki that she is gonna be a great adult. I believe she could pull of something amazing a couple of times now that she’s an adult.
Yuki: Thanks, Minoru.
Eru: And thanks for making me feel more normal.
Yuki: Actually, more socially acceptable, but yes.
Minoru: Also, since we have some similar secrets, I told Yuki that it’s possible that Team Phase could have their own personal secrets.
Retasu: So right!
Yuki: Well, since we’re thinking about that, I don’t think my reputation is actually over. We gotta think of a plan to win back the audience.
Retasu: Like what?
Yuki: We’ll give ourselves at least a few days to plan all this out.
Minoru: That’s right.
They continue to do gym activities.

Next Chapter: Yuki’s Assembly.
Yuki sets up her assembly in school to win back her audience and won’t be laughed at anymore. She is thinking of having a couple of secrets revealed or something. Is this gonna take an effect on Yuki or a negative effect? Tune in next time!
