Chapter 73
Yuki is practising running at the track and jumping over the signs. She gives herself more effort to run as fast as she can.
She runs back to the starting line to talk to Minoru.
Yuki: I feeling the energy, Minoru!
Minoru: Cool! You’re really showing how fast you can go.
Yuki: Yeah. I’m playing baseball this Friday after school.
Minoru: I knew you would join. I wanna join to the team too, even though I am not the best one. I just want to play with you in the games.
Yuki: Totally. If you feel like you need to, go ahead. It’s good to try. I know you won’t let the team down. We’re a team.
Minoru: Yeah. Thanks, Yuki.
Later, Yuki and Minoru are walking during their break. They are drinking water at the bench.
Minoru: So what is next?
Yuki: Hmm. I’m feeling basketball.
Minoru: Cool.
Yuki sees Leo passing by.
Leo: Hey Yuki.
Yuki: Hey dude. So you’re up for baseball this Friday?
Leo: Yep.
Yuki: That’s great!
Leo: I’ll be at the tennis court.
Yuki: All right.
He leaves.
Later, when school is over, Yuki and Minoru came out by the locker rooms and walk together.
Minoru: This game is Ayano’s first game.
Yuki: Yeah. Looks like we are going to win. We’re playing against another school here.
Minoru: That’s what I heard.
They see Lia and Kyanna at the bench.
Lia: Yuki!
Yuki: Hey guys!
Minoru: I can’t wait until the game.
Kyanna: So are we. Umm, Leo just came here a moment ago. He was talking to me, but can’t finish the sentence and then he says goodbye.
Minoru: Hmm.
Lia: Maybe he’s in a rush.
Yuki: Probably. I’m friends with him, so we’ll see.
The next day at morning, Yuki talks to her fans about the game.
Yuki: The game is gonna be great. We got good team, and we have each on the good spot.
Boy1: Let’s hope we win.
Yuki: We will. Our team here is rocking solid. I ran several miles yesterday with full energy!
Minoru: It is important to be the best of ourselves and get along. That’s important for any team.
Yuki: Yeah.
Boy2: It is our only big game before the summer break.
Girl1: It’s a month away.
A while later, Yuki and Minoru sees Leo sitting at the bench. They talk to him.
Yuki: Hey Leo.
Leo: Hey guys.
Minoru: So, what happened with Kyanna?
Leo: Well, I just…it’s kinda…silly.
Yuki: What’s silly?
Leo: I like her.
Minoru: You have a crush on her?
Leo: I’m kinda afraid to talk to her. I didn’t mean to run off yesterday.
Yuki: Dude, she is not a bad person.
Minoru: She’s pretty nice. We’re friends with her.
Leo: Even that, I want to go out with her or make her happy.
Yuki: Kyanna is single. Also, you and her are in our team for baseball.
Minoru: You shouldn’t be afraid. I know how you feel, but Kyanna doesn’t think anyone is weird.
Yuki: Except Team Phase.
Leo: Well, I think you both really got me relaxed about this. I think I will talk to her.
Minoru: Good. She’s by the main door, talking with her friends.
Leo: All right. I’ll go ahead.
Yuki: Run!
Leo runs out.
Minoru: I think he is gonna have a great time with her.
Yuki: Yep! It’s always best to have you spirits up!
Meanwhile, Hiroshi is hiding at the bush and eavesdrops both of them.
Later during lunch break, Leo went to the table, waiting for Kyanna, and then Hiroshi sits at the table.
Hiroshi: Hello, Leo!
Leo: What are you doing here?! What do you want for me?
Hiroshi: You helped Yuki out to save Rin and also you guys got us in deep trouble. Our team got disband and lost our room.
Leo: You guys did the trouble yourselves.
Hiroshi: I will do something to all of you guys one day.
Leo: I would like to see you try!
Kyanna came and sees Hiroshi at the table.
Kyanna: Get out! I know about you and your friends!
Hiroshi: You didn’t join our team when it was alive!
Kyanna: Yuki told us everything.
Hiroshi: I know. All of us know.
Leo: Go some place else!
Hiroshi stands up.
Hiroshi: We know you guys are excited for the game, but don’t expect to win!
Kyanna: You take that back!
Hiroshi: Don’t forget, Leo! We will be watchin you and Yuki, at all times!
He leaves.
Leo: He just came.
Kyanna: That idiot at least left.
Leo: Yeah. So how do you feel about the game?
Kyanna: Everyone is happy about it. I am in the team.
Leo: Same here.
At the classroom, a lot of the fans talk to her about the game.
Boy1: So how is the game set up?
Yuki: The game starts half an hour after school and not only that we’re playing against another school, but a lot of good teams has formed here.
Minoru: It’s best I just watch. I’m nervous about playing a big game.
Yuki: You don’t have to be a player. You can be one of the managers during the game only.
Minoru: That’s better.
Yuki: By the way, we gathered cheerleaders and sports reviewers to be on our game.
Boy2: Cool!
Girl1: Are you a leader?
Yuki: I’m not the captain. The coach is.
Later after school, Yuki walks out from the building and sees Leo.
Leo: Yuki!
Yuki runs to him.
Yuki: Yes, Leo?
Leo: I got a terrible feeling. Team Phase are watching us!
Yuki: All of us?
Leo: Both of us and your friends too because we bust them few weeks ago.
Yuki: How did this happened?
Leo: Hiroshi came to my table when I was waiting for Kyanna because I asked her to have lunch with me, and Hiroshi told me that he and his crew will be watching us at all times. I told him to get away and so as Kyanna.
Yuki: They like to scare everyone.
Leo: Not just that, but he said not to expect our team to win for the game and I feel like they are gonna sabotage us!
Yuki: I know how good they were on spying.
Leo: I don’t want to embarrass myself because they might play a prank on me or you, or do something worse on the team!
Yuki: We don’t know what they are actually planning, but sounds like it.
Leo: I kinda don’t want to be involved with them, so I don’t know if I want to play.
Yuki: Really?! You must play.
Leo: What about them?
Yuki: You know how hard we all practised on gym class? You really want to leave the team?
Leo: Well…
Yuki: You shouldn’t! No matter how much dirtbags like Team Phase come to ruin the fun, we cannot give up right away! If you quit, all if us are wondering why you left, and we know you’re good at pitching! We need you!
Leo: Yeah, but it’s a big game.
Yuki: Of course, but even though we can speculate that they will ruin our game, we must do what we planned! You should not fear about this, and if you decide to quit, what will Kyanna think about you?
Leo: She likes the team so much.
Yuki: Exactly. My words would be also said by her too. What did she think about the team?
Leo: She thinks we are good players.
Yuki: Yes! So, we are gonna have a good game. All of us!
Leo: You’re right. I was just paranoid.
Yuki: We know how Team Phase are like, and I’ll deal with them tomorrow and show who’s boss.
Leo: Cool.
The next day during lunch, Yuki, Minoru, and Leo are at the front gate outside and sees Team Phase having lunch at the bench.
Yuki: Just watch.
Yuki walks to them.
Yuki: Watching us?
Hiroshi: Yuki, what are you doing here?
Lila: Get out of here!
Yuki: Don’t like the team? Still watching on us?
Hiroshi: We don’t care about the game.
Kaname: FYI, we don’t plan to do something to the team, so go out and have your own lunch.
Hiroshi: We are watching you guys. You screwed us all!
Yuki: Since you are, I have something for you guys.
Yuki gives out a huge burp.
Touko: Hey! We’re having lunch here!
Mizuro: Go be gross somewhere else!
Yuki: All right.
She walks back to Minoru and Leo.
Leo: Wow! They deserve this moment.
Yuki: Totally.
Minoru: Are they planning something?
Yuki: They said they have no interest in sabotaging the team.
Minoru: Most likely the truth.
Yuki: Let’s get back to the classroom for the meals.
They have fun in the classroom during break and talked so much about the game.
At friday after school, Rin and Retasu are wearing cheerleader outfits.
Rin: The new outfit feels soft and smooth.
Retasu: Yep. Just in time for the game.
They see Ayano coming.
Ayano: Hey ladies!
Retasu: Ready for the game?
Ayano: Yes! I’ve practised running more, thanks to Yuki.
Later at the baseball field, the team are at the waiting bench.
All the players grab the gloves and baseball bats.
Yuki: This is gonna be one of our greatest moments in the game!
All: YES!
Minoru: I got some bottles here and towels folded.
The team went to the field and goes in their positions.
Ayano starts first.
A visitor team member pitches the ball to Ayano and she hits it.
Ayano starts running and stops at the second spot.
Ayano: Fujiwara, here I am!
Leo comes up to pitch.
The other team throws the ball to Leo and he hits it. He runs to the first spot while Ayano goes to the third spot.
Leo: I made it.
Lia is at the bench, getting up.
Lia: Watch this!
She comes out to the field and waits for a pitch.
A ball goes to her and she hits it high that she, Leo, and Ayano runs to the main spot and Fujiwara team got three scores.
Minoru: All right!
Yuki: There they go!
The crowds are clapping, and the cheerleaders are cheering.
Rin: Go Fujiwara!
Retasu: You got this!
The team comes back to the bench.
Lia: I bring you guys three points!
Yuki: Cool!
Yuki comes out and waits for a pitch.
A whistle blows and the other team throws a ball and Yuki hits it. She runs to the third spot.
Another teammate comes and misses the ball.
He hits it on the second try, and he went to the first spot while Yuki goes to the main spot.
Yuki: Fourth point!
A while later, Kyanna pitches the ball to another team. The ball is hit and Ayano runs to get the ball. She got it, which leaves the player at the second spot.
Yuki catches the ball and stops another player by the first spot.
Later, Yuki is at the final round, and she hits the ball fast and she is running. By the second spot, she sees the other team catch the ball and tosses it around the third spot, and decides to stop there.
Yuki: Things are heating up. Third spot is risky.
Leo comes out and hits the ball. He runs while the ball is flying to the third spot when Yuki just passed it. Yuki is heading to the main spot and the team threw the ball by there and Yuki slides to the spot half a second before the ball is at the spot.
Yuki: Close call! Still another point.
Minoru sees Leo at the second spot.
Minoru: We have 9-7 now.
Ayano: We’re getting close.
Boy1 comes out and waits for the ball. It comes to him and hits the ball. Leo runs and Boy1 runs to the second spot. The other team got the ball and were aiming to get him while Leo made it.
Leo: Yeah!
Boy1: Way a go!
Team Fujiwara won!
The crowds are cheering and even the teams are.
Minoru: It’s a great game!
Ayano: Yeah!
Kyanna: That was a great game.
Yuki: It is.
Ayano: Have you hit the ball out of court before?
Yuki: Yeah, but at times. I mostly go far in the court. Playing against another school varies by difficulty.
Leo: And we won. It is a bigger game than us playing alone.
Kyanna: Correct!
Later, the crowds are talking to the team and everyone is happy.
Leo is at the bench and Kyanna comes in.
Kyanna: It is a great day today.
Leo: Hehe. It is.
Kyanna: So after we get dressed, want to go out to a park and have some food? As a date?
Leo: Umm, sure. I love to.
Yuki, while being in a crowd, she sees Leo and Kyanna talking. He sees her too.
Yuki decides to give a thumbs up and Leo sees it. He smiles.
The team talks to the other team, saying they had fun competing today.
Minoru: The other team are pretty nice.
Ayano: That’s good.

Next Chapter: Yuki’s Promotion
In her job, Yuki wants to find something more interesting on her job. The cosplayers are acting for a video, and Yuki wants to join in to show that she can do stunts all herself. The boss wants to see how Yuki is capable of doing more activities as a performer. How will this end up? Tune in next time!

Chapter 72
In the courtyard during lunch, Yuki is having food with her fans and Minoru.
One of the fans gives her a spicy sushi.
Boy1: Wanna taste the most spicy sushi?
Yuki: You bet!
Yuki eats it and swallows it.
Boy1: Wow! You didn’t even spit it out or sweat.
Yuki: I ate plenty of spicy food before. They are far from intolerable for me.
Boy2: Wow!
Minoru: You ate hot spicy chips before.
Yuki: Absolutely. Surprisingly, I was able to eat those.
They clap for her.
Later after school, Yuki and Ryo are arm wrestling.
Yuki: I bet I will win this.
Ryo: No way, Yuki.
Yuki: I can feel your strength.
Ryo: Yours too.
Yuki: But not as strong.
Yuki beats Ryo.
Ryo: Ahh?
Yuki: Sweet. Don’t worry. I can see that we’re becoming more competitive.
Ryo: 2/3 on this challenge.
Yuki: Exactly. I don’t always win, but mostly on competitions. You’re almost becoming as strong as I am.
Ryo: Ever compete with Minoru?
Yuki: He’s not a physical type for games, but on video games, we’re nearly on par.
Ryo: I see.
The next day at school during gym class, Yuki plays softball with Rin.
Yuki: Ready?
Rin: Yes.
She pitches the ball to Rin, and she hits it.
Yuki hits it again and Rin misses the shot.
Yuki: Score!
Rin: Not again.
At the end of the game, Yuki win against Rin.
After school, Yuki, Minoru, and Rin walk out from the school.
Rin: This is the third week that I hardly get any shots.
Yuki: Yeah. At least you don’t miss the first few shots of each round.
Rin: I know, but you’re too of a high level for me.
Yuki: Then why you decide to compete against me?
Rin: I’m trying to do better in gym class, and want to be decent at softball.
Yuki: Losing is learning. You gotta find your instincts.
Minoru: Maybe find a more simple activity. You’re good at cheerleading.
Rin: Well, I can’t argue with that, but I want to do better on a few more.
Yuki: For your grade.
Rin: Yes. You’ve been doing challenges lately.
Yuki: Oh yeah. I pretty much do interesting challenges.
Minoru: Remember you challenged Ryo on the sour candy?
Yuki: Super sour, yes. Turns out we tied. We liked those, so we didn’t break on that.
Rin: Exactly.
Rin thinks on her head of how Yuki is made more interesting.
Rin: Yuki, I know some day, I will beat you on a challenge.
Yuki: It’s pretty hard for you to beat me, considering your level.
Rin: No.
Yuki: Umm, how many challenge have you tried? Several times.
Rin: I bet that I will beat you on a challenge one day.
Yuki: And what is exactly your bet?
Rin: I bet that I can stay a character, being a tomboy for the entire day.
Yuki laughs.
Yuki: Hahaha! Rin, are you serious? You’re willing to put that off?
Rin: I can guarantee that I can stay in character.
Minoru: It’s a hard challenge concerning we know about you.
Yuki: Yeah, you don’t even like the stuffs that I do. You’re very girly so it’s pretty hard to see you as a tomboy.
Rin: I can be one for a day to see how Yuki’s life is like.
Yuki: Really?
Minoru: Why do you want to do that?
Rin: To show her that I can nearly be as good as her.
Yuki: It takes skills for physical activities.
Rin: It doesn’t have to be that all that sudden.
Yuki: Okay. I’ll have to judge you on that though.
Rin: That’s fine, and I will plan to see what happens if I win.
Yuki: All right.
Minoru: Saturday is a good day.
Rin: Exactly.
At Friday night, Rin is in her room, having her clothes for the bet. She is texting Yuki in the group chat.
Rin: I am ready.
Yuki: Cool. So, did you plan what happens if you win or lose the challenge?
Rin: Yes, but I won’t reveal it until the end of the day.
Yuki: Why?
Rin: It will be more fun that no one would know so my challenge won’t be affected.
Yuki: I see what you mean. Stop by my place at 10.
Rin: You got it.
Rin puts her phone down and sees herself in the mirror.
Rin: All right. I can do this. Being a tomboy is like seeing how Yuki’s life is like, so I may learn more things. I just have to wear a ponytail and a cap.
In the morning, Rin quickly changes her hair style and changes clothes to simple stripes with black and white and jeans. She takes off her straps and went outside.
Rin: All I gotta act is a typical tomboy.
She went to Yuki’s house and knocks the door hard.
Yuki opens the door.
Yuki: Oh great. You’re ready.
Rin: Yes, Yuki. What do you want to do today?
Yuki: Actually, you should think about what do you want to do, in this moment.
Rin: I wanna play Softball. Let’s go out!
Yuki: The nearest court is most likely in use, so wanna get in before we head there?
Rin: Yes!
A while later, Yuki, Rin, and Ryo are in Yuki’s room.
Yuki shows Rin a video game.
Yuki: I got this game.
Rin: I heard it’s pretty gory.
Yuki: Exactly. Are you able to handle this game?
Rin: Well, it’s a mature rating.
Ryo: I got it and I decide to give it a share.
Yuki: Yep! You demanded hard games, so this is it.
Rin: (mind) It does look pretty violent.
Yuki: I’ll put it on.
Rin: Umm, sure.
In the game, Rin is the only one playing.
The character in the game slices foes with knives.
Rin tries killing them.
Rin: Do they start with many of the foes?
Yuki: They do, but more will come later.
Rin: It’s a bit challenging.
Yuki: Yep.
Later, Minoru came and sees Yuki, Ryo, and Rin at the table.
Minoru: Hey guys.
Rin: Hey Minoru!
Minoru sees her as a different style.
Minoru: It seems that you are taking the challenge more serious.
Rin: That’s right. Today, we are going out and play softball.
Minoru: That’s cool.
Ryo: Is Retasu coming?
Minoru: She told me that she’ll come straight to the field.
Yuki: I saw that message just now.
Ryo: Amazing.
Minoru: So, what did you do so far?
Rin: I played their new game. It’s a mature rating.
Yuki: Slashing Collabs 5.
Minoru: Oh. How did you do on that?
Rin: Decent. Killing the mummy looking creatures and chopping the skeleton’s heads is all I did.
Yuki: Don’t forget you threw boulders at them.
Rin: That too.
Later, they went to the tennis court, getting some softballs and tennis rackets.
Retasu shows up and runs to them.
Retasu: Hey guys.
Rin: Retasu, ready to play?
Retasu: Yes.
Ryo: You and Minoru are playing against Rin.
Yuki: It’s best that to match her level, and you both are a perfect fit.
Retasu: And you’re playing against the two of us?
Rin: Yeah, because I want to take this the hard way for me.
Minoru: Wow. You’re really up for a challenge.
Rin: Yep. Let’s move on.
They are at the court.
Rin: Ready?
Minoru: Yes.
Rin pitches the ball, and Minoru hits it, and then Rin tries to hit it hard, and she hits it, and passes to Retasu, to Rin, to Minoru, and Rin tries to hit hard again, and she tries to hit it with full force, and she successfully hit it directly and Minoru misses it.
Minoru: Hmm.
Rin: Excellent!
Later at the last round, they play and Rin tries to hit the ball hard, but she hits it with light force.
Retasu hits it, and Rin is a little exhausted.
Yuki: Exhausted?
Rin: No. I’ll play this round.
Rin is sweating a little and decide to focus on the ball.
Minoru passes the ball to her, and Rin hits the ball with full force, and Retasu misses the shot.
Retasu: Wow! You really improved a bit.
Minoru: You got 4 goals and we got 6.
Rin: Well, even though I lost, I still have fun playing. I no longer got one or two goals from you both.
Ryo: That’s cool.
Yuki: I think your used to lack the force of hitting the ball and running too.
Rin: Now I realized how better I got today. I still want to play. This time, I’ll play with either Retasu or Minoru, depends who is more good at softball.
Minoru: Well, she plays more than I do.
Retasu: Yeah, I played them with my brothers before.
Yuki: That sounds fun.
Rin plays with Retasu, and Rin did tie with Retasu.
Retasu: Wanna play a round, so that there is no tie?
Rin: Sure.
Retasu passes the ball and Rin runs and hits the ball with medium force.
Retasu hits the ball hard and Rin watches the speed of the ball, and she hits it normally, and then Retasu passes it.
Rin gives another try and hits it hard and Retasu misses.
Rin: Cool! I won!
Retasu: It looks like you had some skills from class.
Rin: Yeah, but I decide to play it as hard as I can. Looks like we’re almost as good. You have more experience.
Retasu: Yeah.
Ryo: So, what are we doing next?
Rin: To Yuki’s house!
As they walk, Rin sees a yard with a plastic pipe that is dirty.
Rin: Guys! Look at that pipe! Wanna see me get through it?
Yuki: Sure.
Minoru: All right.
Rin decides to lean down to the ground and goes inside the pipe, and she sees a lot more dirt there that she expected.
Rin: Umm, it’s all dirty, but I’m not giving up.
Rin tries to wipe away all the dirt with her hands to get through, and she comes out from the other end of the pipe.
Rin comes out with little dirt.
Rin: Tada! I did it!
Retasu: You know it’s dirty inside, right?
Rin: Yeah, but I went through it.
Ryo: Okay.
As they walk, they see a small spider behind Rin’s back, and Yuki grabs it and flings it out.
Minoru: Good. It’s creepy.
Yuki: I know.
At the house at the backyard, Rin tries on Rollerblades.
Rin: So how do I use it?
Yuki: Remember ice skating? I bet you would know about how to skate.
Rin: Sure.
Rin runs around the yard, hoping she doesn’t fail.
Rin: Cool! I’m doing it.
Minoru: It seems like you are starting to do it well.
Rin continues to run around, until she hit the tree branch and falls.
Rin: OW!
Retasu: Rin, are you all right?
Yuki picks her up.
Yuki: You’re all right?
Rin has few tears.
Rin: I’m hurt a little, but I can’t stop myself from crying.
A while later, Retasu checks up Rin and she doesn’t see any pains.
Retasu: You’re all right.
Rin: Cool.
They watch Minoru trying on Rollerblades.
Minoru: So how long did you have this?
Yuki: For a few years, but I had a few ones before that and donated them since the old ones don’t fit my feet anymore.
Minoru: Sounds interesting.
Later, they went to the dining room and have lunch together.
Yuki: The meal looks really good!
Minoru: Yeah!
Rin: So you enjoyed being a tomboy all your life?
Yuki: Well, yes. As a little kid since then, I find myself engaging on boy’s activities. I never find feminine activities fun for me, and so I do a couple of things that I enjoy. I always know that I am a girl, just in my own way.
Retasu: So as a kid, you act like a troublemaker?
Yuki: Oh yes. I pull some funny stuff and do some risk taking to do what I need to do for the class. As a kid, I wanted to be a ninja, and always practice a lot of moves, and I go out and get dirty and come home, smelling like spirit.
Rin: Uhh, okay.
Ryo: You still do.
Yuki: Because I love doing sport activities and geeking out. As a kid, I was the most hyper kid in the family, and running around.
Minoru: Cool.
After they finished lunch, they went outside and do some activities with Rin.
After hanging out for the rest of the day, Yuki and Minoru went to Rin’s house while following her.
They went to her room.
Rin: It was so fun today.
Yuki: You bet. You challenged yourself many times this evening.
Rin: Well, I was a hit and miss on those, but I did not give up.
Minoru: It was a fantastic experience, right?
Rin: I kinda see how those activities are really fun for you, Yuki.
Yuki: You bet. So many experiences for many years, I have.
Rin: And now I smell like spirit.
Minoru covers his nose.
Minoru: So are you gonna shower?
Rin: Yeah. Well, it’s almost night, and I wanna end my challenge right here and you guys tell me the results when I come out.
Yuki: Sure.
Minoru: Love to see what’s next.
Rin went to the bathroom and showers herself.
She comes out from the bathroom with her pyjamas.
Rin: So, what did you guys think about today?
Minoru: We thought you really know how to stay in character. You got good acting.
Yuki: And it shows that you are trying to be a tomboy for the day. Your results are interesting.
Rin: Cool. So looks like I won!
Yuki: Yes, you have.
Minoru: That’s cool.
Rin: It is! Remember what I said what happens if I win?
Yuki: Oh yeah, tell us.
Rin: All right. You have to do it since I won.
Minoru: But first, what happened if you lost?
Rin: If I did, I would’ve have let Yuki pass gas in front of me.
Yuki: I tried not to.
Rin: And sometimes, you do.
Yuki: So what do you want me to do?
Rin: Well, are you up to play a feminine version of yourself? It has to be the entire day, tomorrow!
Yuki: Are you kidding me? I’m not good at playing girly.
Rin: Well, I won, so you have to.
Yuki: Fine, but can it be somewhere else, not in Sapporo? I don’t want anyone else to see me wear frilly dresses.
Rin: Just stop by here in the morning.
Yuki: It better be outside the town, and no photo taking.
The next day, they are at Rin’s house, and they see Yuki dressed with two pink bows in both sides on her hair, a hair extension on her sides, pink frilly dress, white leggings, and high heels. Rin laughs when she sees Yuki dressed this way.
Yuki: It’s not funny. This is totally embarrassing. I don’t even like high heels.
Rin: Well, you have to wear those as part of the bet.
Yuki: I have no idea how you got hair extensions, the ones for my sides.
Minoru: Can you walk well in high heels?
Yuki: Yes, but I can’t run.
Rin: Well, you can’t run in this bet.
Yuki: That’s lame.
Rin: And you better not ruin my dress. I had fun playing my bet yesterday, so you should too.
Yuki: We’ll see.
A while later, Yuki, Minoru, Rin, and Retasu are in Rin’s backyard.
Yuki plays a role of a girly character with a soft voice.
Yuki: Howie. Rin. it’s so good to meet you. Retasu, thanks for coming along. Minoru, you’re such a sweet boyfriend.
Rin: Hehe. Well, today is a sunny day.
Yuki: Yes, Rin.
Yuki picks up the basket from the ground.
Yuki: I’ll go grab something special.
Yuki walks to the garden and looks at the iris flower.
Yuki: These are your favorit righ… (SNEEZE!)
Yuki walks backwards a little and steps on a rock on her right heel. As she is wearing high heels already, her right foot is unbalanced and trips to the ground and drops the basket to the ground. She goes back to her normal voice.
Yuki: I almost twisted my right foot. These heels are bothering me.
Rin: I hope the dress isn’t dirty.
Yuki stands up and Retasu sees that it’s fine.
Retasu: It’s still looking good.
Minoru: I thought you know that flowers are your allergic reaction.
Yuki: I’m trying to play a role, but it’s not working out. I can’t do this.
Yuki takes off the hair extension from her sides and pins out the ribbons too.
Rin: Hey! You’re in a bet.
Yuki: This is just too silly and I can’t even go on without my feet getting squeezed.
Retasu: Different size.
Rin: That’s all I have for the biggest high heels from my closet.
Yuki: Well, I’m sorry, but I can’t continue. I rarely give up, but I can’t think of what the girly character would usually do.
Rin: Fine. Let’s go back to my room.
A while, they talk about the bet. Yuki is already dressed back normally.
Minoru: It seems like Rin’s challenge went a lot great yesterday.
Rin: That’s right.
Yuki: I’m trying to tell you Rin that I don’t always win.
Rin: I know, but you quit. I mean, you did get a hard start, so I understand.
Retasu: Rin, you had fun playing a character yesterday.
Rin: Yeah.
Minoru: Yuki, what also made you quit?
Yuki: Umm, I lack fashion sense, so I wouldn’t know how to play right as a typical girly character.
Rin: I understand. Well, I did have few hard moments yesterday, but it was somehow easy to stay in character.
Minoru: We are really great actors on role playing, it’s just that we can have few weaknesses on what the character shoud be based on the actor’s knowledge. I don’t even know how to be deadpan because I lack sarcasm.
Yuki: You’re right. It is based on a person. So congratulations, Rin. You beat me of who plays the character the best.
Rin: Yeah. I knew you would have a hard time, but we learn about each other, regardless of how long we are friends.
Retasu: Yeah.
Later, Yuki and Minoru went to Yuki’s house at her room, watching a rerun of My Hero Academia with Ryo.
Ryo: So how was it?
Yuki: It only lasted quarter of an hour, and things didn’t work out for me, so I left.
Ryo: Hmm.
Yuki: It was so silly anyway, and I didn’t know how to play girly. All I was thinking about is doing something epic like these guys on the show.
Minoru: Interesting.

Next Chapter: Yuki’s Offer
A classmate, Leo. He has two things happening on him. He has a crush on Kyanna and talks to Yuki about it. She and Minoru tells him about her and how to approach her. Second, he is afraid if Team Phase is watching him. He is concerned about that because of the incident where they got Rin few weeka ago. How will Yuki solve these problems, with or without anyone? Tune in next time!

Chapter 71
After all the trouble that Yuki and her friends have been through, they know all the secrets that Team Phase are really are.
Yuki and her friends all went to the office and talk to the principle.
With proofs about Retasu, showing the evil plans, and seeing the chase when rescuing Rin from the surveillance, the principle decides to close down Team Phase’s club and lose their room for good.
All five of them are getting a long-term suspension for all the trouble that they caused.
At Wednesday morning, Retasu comes to school with her new outfit. She meets her friends in the classroom.
Retasu: I’m finally back! Thanks for getting rid of them!
Minoru: They deserve a long break, in a discipline way.
Rin: I am happy that you got the new uniform.
Takahashi: What about your homework?
Retasu: I’m glad Takigawa-sensei knows which homeworks they ripped, so he give me a pass and handed me recent ones.
Yuki: Sounds great.
They see Eru walking in the hallway.
Minoru: Should we talk to her? She hasn’t talk as much as we do.
Yuki: Sure.
They called Eru and she comes.
Eru: Umm, hi.
Yuki: Hey Eru.
Rin: So what kept you busy?
Eru: Well, just homework, and being a manager for my game club.
Minoru: I see.
Yuki: Are you the only one working there?
Eru: Well, yes.
Rin: Isn’t it all the work that takes you time?
Eru: Well, it’s no big deal, but I can allow help.
Rin: We are pretty much free today after school.
Yuki: Yeah, We should allow ourselves enjoy video games together.
Retasu: I agree. Wouldn’t you be busy to play games as a manager?
Eru: Umm, no. I just play on my Switch at my desk since not a lot of people come to my desk.
Minoru: All right. We should play a game that we all can play together.
Rin: Just don’t pick violent ones or ones that are hard to play. I’m not into those.
Takahashi: I got homework and I want to finish my project.
Retasu: Is it fine if I help you?
Takahashi: Yeah. Are you guys fine?
Rin: It’s no big deal.
Eru: Just do what you believe what’s more important.
Retasu: Sure.
After school, Yuki, Minoru, Rin, Shirou, and Leo came in to the game room.
Yuki: Hey, Eru.
Eru: Umm, hey guys.
Rin: Ready to hang out here?
Eru: I gotta store some of the games to the selves first.
Yuki: I’ll take care of one of the stacks.
Eru: Thanks.
Yuki and Eru put games on the shelf.
They are at the TVs while Eru sits on her desk.
Minoru: Ready?
Yuki: Yes.
Eru: Yes.
They start playing a multiplayer game with two co-op each screen, Yuki and Minoru, Rin and Shirou, and Leo.
Yuki’s character is a ninja and fighter. Minoru’s character is a space shooter, Rin is a magical girl with a staff, Shirou is a sword fighter, Leo is an armed keypuncher, and Eru is a princess alien.
They all are walking in the field, finding treasures.
The flying robots spawned around them.
Minoru: We are at their trap.
Yuki: As always.
Yuki punches them and kicks them. Minoru shoots lasers.
Rin: Now it’s time for thunder!
She shoots thunder on few of the robots from her staff.
They are cleared.
Minoru: That was quick.
Yuki: Let’s see what the crate has.
She opens it and receives four Neon Pearls.
Yuki: Four Neon Pearls!
Shirou: Good. We can all sell those for great amount of money.
Yuki: Totally.
In the real world, Lia came in the game room and sees them playing.
Lia: Hey guys!
Leo: Hey Lia!
Minoru: We’re playing Open Fantasy Life.
Lia: Cool!
Yuki: Have you played it before?
Lia: I wanted to, but I don’t have that much allowance to get the account.
Minoru: Wanna watch?
Lia: Sure.
They continue playing the game.
Shirou: Our next stop is the forest.
Rin: A long road before the next town.
They walk and went in the forest.
Yuki: The sphere leaf mobs comes out from a tree, and they’re in a higher lever than our previous route.
Leo: We’ll see how strong they are.
They walk and encounter the mobs and they fight them.
Minoru shoots lasers to them.
Yuki dodges their attack and decide to kick all of them.
Eru shoots rapid lasers to all of them.
Shirou: Yuki, do the forest also contains moving trees?
Yuki: Only in the hazy forests.
She punches the last mob and finished the fight.
Minoru: Cool.
They play around for half an hour and Lia went to the desk. Eru puts her switch down.
Eru: Yes?
Lia: So do you have any recent Tekken games?
Eru checks on the list.
Eru: Yeah. I’ll hand you it.
She checks on the shelf and gives the game to her.
Lia: Awesome!
Minoru sees her helping out.
Minoru: I’m gonna be off of the game for a while.
Yuki: Ok.
Minoru went to the desk.
Minoru: Eru.
Eru: Yeah?
Minoru: Umm, I was wondering if your club is open for new members.
Eru: Well, I have two openings for the program.
Minoru: Cool. I may want to start joining to help you after school.
Eru: Really?
Minoru: Yeah, I got nothing for after school.
Eru: Sure. I will hand you the forum for this club.
She gets the package and gives it to him.
Minoru: Thanks.
Eru: Just sign it and you can return it here tomorrow.
Minoru: Sure.
Yuki sees him trying to join the club as a member.
Minoru puts the package to his backpack.
He goes back to his seat.
Minoru: I finally joined.
Yuki: Cool. I’m glad you did. It makes us happy.
Minoru smiles.
In the game, they all went to a dungeon. A magical princess appears in the middle, and starts shooting glowing stars on all of them.
Yuki runs and dodges her attacks.
She jumps and punches her.
Minoru shoots her rapidly with lasers.
Shirou hits her with his long sword.
Rin shoots lightning and Leo shoots arrows.
They all run around and the princess shoots multiple orbs at them.
Yuki launches a grenade and throws it with big explosions.
Yuki: That’s gotta be a big hit.
Eru waves her hands to create a supersonic to distract her.
The magical princess got weaker, and Eru has her ray gun on each hands and sends a rainbow beam.
It becomes paralysed.
Yuki: Cool.
She runs and kicks her hard.
The magical princess dissolves into sand.
It has a baggage of treasures.
Yuki: We got a big pack in the middle.
Minoru: It has cool treasures and clothes.
Eru: That is the avatar exchange pack. It’s new.
Rin: Cool!
Leo: So who will swap the avatar?
Yuki: That’s not for me.
Shirou: It’s pretty expensive.
Eru: I might want to collect it. I may swap it to try out.
Shirou: Do you swap avatars frequently?
Rin: Eru’s been trying out to see what’s best for her. She was the flower girl and then a fighter. Now she’s an alien.
Yuki: I’m heading to the a club right now.
Rin: Cool.
Minoru and Leo followed Yuki while Rin ans Shirou followed Eru to a Avatar palace.
Eru came out from the special room and showed Rin and Shirou that she’s now a magical princess.
Rin: You look great!
Shirou: Is that the avatar you like the best?
Eru: Pretty much. I read that it can do physical and special attack, so I can learn common moves that I would use very often.
Rin: Awesome.
Later, they pack up and shut down the games in the game room, and they went outside and sit at the bench. Only Yuki, Minoru, and Eru are there.
Minoru: It was pretty fun.
Eru: It is. So what kept you guys bust last week?
Yuki: We had to deal a lot about Team Phase. It’s a long story.
Minoru: They beat up Retasu and almost got Rin. They’re bad people all along.
Eru: That’s not good.
Minoru: Well, we’re fine now. I decided to join because I wanted to have an after school activity.
Yuki: And that you would have friends to take care your business more.
Eru: That’s nice.
Yuki: What have you been up to, Eru?
Eru: I’ve been learning about programming and AI, so that I can make my own games later on.
Minoru: Cool.
Eru: Thanks. So how are you two been?
Minoru: Me and Yuki are always having fun.
Yuki: We’ve been doing a lot of good plans out for both of us. We went to the game store for amazing game releases.
Eru: That’s cool.
A limo arrive and stopped.
Eru: There’s my ride. I’ll see you guys tomorrow.
Yuki: Have fun!
Minoru: Bye!
Eru left.
Minoru: I think the game room is the only one I find to be interesting to work at.
Yuki: That’s good. After all, the activity fits you. I can pop in at times just like we do sometimes.
Minoru: Yeah. The manga club was good too.
Yuki: Totally! The one at Monday was awesome because we watched My Hero Academia.
Minoru: It was pretty exciting.
They both walk home and had a good day.

Next Chapter: Rin’s bet.
Rin wants to somehow prove that she can beat Yuki on challenges. Most of them, Yuki wins. Rin somehow made Yuki a bet of where they swap their lives and sees who sticks to their role the most. Rin tries to be like Yuki as a challenge as well as vice versa. Which person can stay in character the most? Tune in next time!

Original release: April 6, 2016

It’s the last week of school, and also the exam week. Yuki was standing in the hallway, waiting for Rin to come out from her math class. She sees Minoru coming out and he looks depressed, and he didn’t notice Yuki, and then Rin comes out and meet up with Yuki. They both started walking in the hallway.
Yuki: Rin, what happened to him?
Rin: That teacher was the noisiest one in class when she snapped out.
Yuki: What did she do?
Rin: She went up to him, seeing what he is writing on the exam. She questions him if he knows that is his last chance to not screw up.
Yuki: What? He knows math.
Rin: She means his behavior.
Yuki: And then what happened?
Rin: Minoru told her he wants to focus on his exam to ace the test as he usually does, and she thought he was being rude to her and few of our classmates giggled. He told her that she’s the one embarrassing him and politely ask her to not do that. She got all loud and told him to stop or else, she will give him a zero on his exam and will be escorted to the principal’s office again.
Yuki hits the wall by her anger.
Yuki: Ahh! (hits the wall) She’s got problems!
Ron came up and saw Yuki freaking out.
Ron: Whao! Yuki, what happened? Who’s got problems?
Yuki: Umm, a teacher. She’s just talking how we are not mature enough for her class.
Ron: Wow. I am glad you are hosting a party for the last day of school at the gym this Friday.
Yuki: Yeah, same here. I heard you are a co-host too.
Ron: Isn’t that cool! Both of us hosting a party. I will definitely show up in that party. Keep cool, Yuki!
Yuki: I will.
Ron left and leaves Yuki.
Rin: Light lie about the teacher?
Yuki: I just had to.
Rin: It’s okay. Oh yeah! I heard that Minoru goes to the conversation room for the last few weeks during lunch and he draws characters on his notepad.
Yuki: Really?
Rin: Yep, and I heard him told someone that he will take a visit there in the last day of school and will still attend the party at the gym.
Yuki: Awesome! At least he will attend the party.
Rin: And don’t forget, since the last day of school has very less crowds in the hallways and no one else goes to the conversation room, you have the chance to meet him alone and express yourself.
Yuki: That’s a good advice! Thanks Rin!
She hugs her and squeezes her.
Rin: Yuki! You are squeezing me!
Retasu and Ryo came by and saw them as she let go of Rin.
Retasu: What’s going on?
Yuki: We have something important to tell you.
Rin: Let’s talk upstairs.
Ryo: Sure.
They went to the roof and told Retasu about Minoru.
Retasu: Awesome! But since you are hosting the party with Ron, you need to plan how you are gonna meet Minoru.
Yuki: We have to plan about this in my house. We have a few days left of school. I don’t want to miss my chance to meet him in person.
Ryo: Yeah, we have several minutes before our next class starts.
Rin: True. Let’s go.
The next day, Yuki was at the cafeteria, giving her small gifts and was surrounded with her fans and crowds.
Yuki: You guys are so cool! I am glad to know a lot of you and your gift is appreciated!
Meanwhile, Minoru goes to the conversation room to draw.
Minoru: Okay, I got a newspaper that has Yuki in it. I always feel like drawing her. She’s so amazing!
He gets his notepad and tries to trace her and did several traces while having lunch. He finished some of them.
Minoru: This looks amazing! I draw her pretty well.
He looks at all of his sketches as well as his previous drawings he done from last week and most of them is a sketch of Yuki.
Minoru: She would probably like what I draw.
He then realized that he is shy to talk to her.
Minoru: I am kinda afraid of what she will say. I know Yuki is a good person, but I am afraid of what she and others will think if I admitted my feelings towards her. Maybe if I show her my drawings, she may like it. She’s hosting a party at the last day of school and maybe if I have time, I could show her my drawings of her and she may say:
“Wow Minoru! You are amazing at sketches! When did you start drawing sketches of me?”
He blushed.
Minoru: I gotta be brave like her. I need to talk to her at the party. If I show her these and if I admit my feelings to her, she may be friends with me. I hope it works. I just need to draw a mugshot of her in the last day and I can show it to her on time. I need to be brave enough to talk to Yuki and I need to stop being shy and move on.
He continues eating his lunch and then we move on to the last day of school. It started in the very morning, and it shows Minoru entering the school’s property.
Minoru: This is gonna be a big day. This is my last chance to talk to Yuki.
He went inside the building and then he went to the gym and saw the crowds around the room and Yuki was with her friends.
Yuki: This is my big day today.
Rin: Yeah, and remember that this is your last chance to meet up with him, alone.
Retasu: I know you can do it!
Yuki: I will. Hopefully this goes well.
Ryo: Speaking of him, go turn four o’ clock.
Yuki turns to her right and saw Minoru walking to the table with drinks.
Yuki: Awesome! He will go to that room you mentioned, right?
Rin: That’s what he said to someone.
Yuki: Good. I won’t miss that chance.
Ron came up to Yuki and talked to her.
Ron: Hey Yuki, ready to participate in the announcements?
Yuki: Sure.
She and Ron went to the stage and grab their microphones.
Ron: Attention! Welcome to the last day of school in Fujiwara High.
Yuki: The party is served in the gym only and all of us will have a very fun time here.
Ron: And we have games and foods in the gym and you all are welcome to get foods and drinks and celebrate with us.
Yuki: Also, today is the last chance to meet up with others and sign their yearbooks.
They all clapped to them. Yuki and Ron left the stage and celebrate with the crowds.
Yuki: Rin, so do you know what time he goes to that room?
Rin: Somewhere in the middle of the party, but maybe in an hour.
Yuki: Well, good. Today’s a short day in school and I gotta satisfy the fans for a while.
Retasu: Don’t worry, We’ll keep a watch on him.
Rin: And we will call you when it’s time.
Yuki: Thanks!
She left and hang with some of her fans around the gym.
Rin: So, want to go to the cafeteria? They’re serving tacos and sushi’s there.
Retasu: Sure.
They both left the gym and headed to the cafeteria. Meanwhile, Minoru sees Yuki hanging with her fans and he was watching her.
Minoru: (mind) I gotta find the right time to talk to her.
He sees her walking to the table with juices.
Minoru: (mind) I must be brave.
He walks to Yuki, near her, and tries to speak in a nervous volume.
Minoru: Um, Yuki.
There was crowds walking past him when he tries to speak and talks to Yuki, so she didn’t hear him. Ron even came to Yuki.
Ron: Yuki, we brought one arcade here from the game room.
Guy1: We helped, and we know you can play very well.
Kyanna: We want to see you play.
Yuki: Um, sure. I’ll go ahead.
They all went to the other side of the gym and Minoru was just standing.
Minoru: (mind) She’s a busy person. I hope I can have a chance to get her to notice me.
He then watches Yuki plays Donkey Kong and got a high score and they clapped for her.
Later, it’s almost an hour later. Minoru had fun signing a few yearbooks, and Yuki and her friends are talking to each other with some of her fans. Ron comes by to meet with Yuki again.
Ron: Hey Yuki, they are giving out candies and goodies in. They brought it here.
Yuki: Oh, cool. Rin and Retasu, let’s go check.
Rin: Sure.
They went to the table where two ladies are giving out free candy and goodies.
A little while, Minoru decides to leave the gym and Rin and Retasu saw him left.
Rin: Retasu, want to go check and see where he is going?
Retasu: We should.
They went out and Ron came by Aki and Ren.
Aki: So, how was you and Yuki?
Ron: We just saw her play the arcade and I was there with our crowds.
Ren: You both are very popular here. So has she falling in love with you?
Ron: She didn’t say anything like that.
Ren: This is your last chance until September.
Aki: You may want to ask her out before school’s over.
Ron: I will.
Aki: Didn’t she caught you picking on others?
Ron: She did few weeks ago with a calm talk, but it looks like she got over it after apologizing.
Ren: Then this is your chance. Don’t miss this one!
Ron: We’ll see.
He walks to Yuki and meet her.
Yuki: Um, hi Ron.
Ron: Hello. Yuki, we are gonna start the dance time in a few minutes.
Yuki: I know.
Ron: So you want to dance with me?
Yuki: I don’t really dance. Sorry.
Ron: I see. You know, I already stopped what I was doing wrong.
Yuki: I know, and I’m glad you stopped picking on others. I forgive you.
Ron: Sounds cool. So why don’t you dance?
Yuki: I only dance hardcore like how I jump and flip at gym class.
Ron: You are pretty skilful person.
Yuki: I get that a lot.
Ron: So Yuki, you signed a lot of yearbooks?
Yuki: Yep. We both do.
Ron: Cool.
As for Ryo, Rin, and Retasu, they see him at the cafeteria, getting sushi’s.
Rin: He’s getting morning lunch.
Retasu: Yeah. It looks like he’s just going to take it to the conference room at the second floor.
Rin: Yeah. We better check if he does go there.
At the gym, Ron is still talking to Yuki.
Yuki: I’m too smart for body shaming, so I never worried of how I look, and yet, people find me attractive.
Ron: Wow! That’s rare for someone like you.
Yuki: Well, I always teach my friends the importance of the inside and the outside.
Ron: Cool. I gotta go dance with the others.
Yuki: Okay.
Ron went to the center of the gym and dance with Aki and Ren.
Aki: So what did she say?
Ron: I asked her to dance with me, and she said she only dance hardcore.
Ren: I see. Did you ask her out on a date?
Ron: Oh yeah. I should right now.
He goes back to Yuki.
Yuki: Um Ron, I thought you were gonna dance with your friends.
Ron: I know, but I have something to tell you.
YukI: Okay. What?
Ryo, Rin, and Retasu came in and called Yuki.
Rin: Yuki!
Retasu: Good news!
Yuki: What?
Ron: What is the good news?
Rin: The jackpot is in.
Yuki: Really?
Retasu: Yep. We just saw it.
Ron: What does that mean?
Yuki: I have to take care of something. Rin, would you mind telling him about the jackpot?
She asked her in a sarcastic way.
Rin: Sure!
Yuki and Retasu left the gym.
Ron: What is the jackpot?
Rin: Some staff wants to see her for her special surprise at the office.
Ron: I see.
In the conference room, Minoru finished drawing Yuki in a mugshot form.
Minoru: Cool! This looks very great! I better show this to Yuki. This is my final chance before summer vacation comes up, and I don’t want to miss the party.
He packs up and starts leaving the room and heads straight to the restroom. Yuki and Retasu came to the second floor near the conference room.
Retasu: We saw him go inside. Since there isn’t a much people in the hallway as it usually is, it is safe to see him, alone.
Yuki: This is gonna be great!
They are by the door.
Rin: We took a peak at him, and he was drawing on his notepad.
Yuki: Amazing.
Ryo: Now go inside and meet him.
Yuki: I will!
Yuki opens the door and went inside. She didn’t see him in the room.
Yuki: Where did he go?
Yuki left the room and talk to her.
Yuki: He’s not in this room.
Retasu: But me and Rin saw him went to this room several minutes ago.
Yuki: He must’ve head somewhere.
Retasu: Let’s check in the cafeteria. He may get another sushi.
Yuki: Yeah.
They left. Minoru got out from the restroom and head downstairs to the gym. He was by the door.
Minoru: Okay, I can do this. I gotta ask her to see my drawings and that’s the last thing, unless if she wants to hang out with me.
He went inside the gym and tries to look for Yuki. He couldn’t find her. Meanwhile, Yuki and Retasu looked around the cafeteria and lunch lines and they didn’t see him there. Rin and Ryo came and asked Yuki about Minoru.
Ryo: What happened?
Yuki: He wasn’t in the room when I came.
Rin: We gotta do something.
Yuki: He must be back in the gym.
Retasu: Let’s hurry.
They went back to the gym, and Minoru was trying to pass through the crowds, and Yuki and her friends didn’t see him since he was covered by them due to his short height. He left the gym. Yuki is still searching for him.
Yuki: MI…
Rin covered her mouth.
Rin: You want to let everyone know that you are in love with him and ruin both of your reputations?
Yuki: My bad.
Retasu: You almost did it.
Yuki: I gotta see him.
Ron came by to Yuki.
Ron: Who are you looking for?
Yuki: Ohh, you! That’s right.
Ron: Really?
Yuki: Yeah. I want you to get to know Retasu. You already talked to Rin and Ryo, so Retasu, please talk to him.
Retasu: Okay.
Yuki: I gotta go find my gold coin in the restroom.
Ron: Okay. So Retasu, how long you been friends with her?
Retasu: Since sixth grade.
Minoru was at the game room, looking for her, and checked at the cafeteria, and he didn’t see her there either. Yuki and Rin split up and looked everywhere and so did Minoru. A little while, Retasu and Ryo continues to search for him. They all try to look for each other at the wrong time and wrong places, which caused them to search in classrooms, conference rooms, and even the roof, which is raining. Yuki was at the roof and run around quickly and came back to the stairs indoors.
Yuki: I didn’t see him.
Rin: Let’s go back to the gym. We looked everywhere for about ten minutes.
Ryo: And we checked that room three times.
Retasu: Maybe he finally came back to the gym. Maybe he was at the restroom break or something.
Yuki: You’re right. Let’s go.
They went back and they saw him in the gym.
Rin: Too bad he’s in public.
Yuki: Yeah. Oh well, let’s not give up.
Retasu: That’s our girl!
Ron came and talked to Yuki.
Ron: Yuki, you missed the dancing section and you were absent in the stage when I was an announcing the dance competition.
Yuki: Sorry. Something came up.
Ron: Were you outside?
Yuki: Yeah. I had to take care of something. That’s why I’m a little wet.
Ron: I see. I understand.
Yuki: Well, thanks for understanding.
Minoru saw her and tries to go to Yuki. He was close to get to her, but then the crowds blocked his path and walk last him. He couldn’t go through.
Minoru: I really want to talk to…
His phone vibrated and he checks his phone and he got a call from his parents.
Minoru: Hello?…Oh yeah, I was supposed to visit my appointment at the career center….Right now? (sad) You are by the school?…Okay,  I was just having fun. I’ll come there right now.
He hangs up and looks depressed.
Minoru: (mind) Yuki, I wanted to be brave, and I wished I was brave enough to meet you. Guess I have to wait the whole summer to see you again in September. That’s a long way, but I gotta go.
He left the gym. Rin and Retasu saw him left the gym and called Yuki.
Retasu: Yuki, you better check something out.
Yuki: Okay. Ron, I’ll be right back.
Ron: Uhhh, okay.
They left and Aki and Ren came to Ron.
Ron: Yuki’s been going out and in several times.
Aki: We saw.
Ren: She’s real busy. So had you asked her out yet?
Ron: I tried, but then she goes whenever I was about to ask her that.
Ren: I see. Aki, let’s go check on Yuki.
Aki: Yeah. Something is going on to her.
Ron: Don’t stalk her.
Aki: We’re not. We’re just checking up on her.
Ron: Seriously. I don’t want to get caught.
Aki: You stay so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Ren: Me and Aki will make sure we stay hidden from her.
Aki: Let’s go.
Yuki and her friends saw him heading out to the entrance and he saw his parents outside with a car parked. Yuki and her friends came by the entrance to watch him and he was holding his umbrella.
Minoru: That was early. I wanted to have fun over there for at least an hour more.
Mother: But your appointment is more important.
Minoru: You’re right.
Father: Let’s get in the car.
Yuki sees him going inside, and when he did, Yuki tries to run to the car.
Yuki: Wait!
Ryo, Rin, and Retasu: Yuki!
The car left the parking spot quickly and Yuki was standing in the middle of the front yard outside while it’s raining.
Yuki: Minoru.
Aki and Ren were indoors by the entrance, but hides at the edge of the wall to eavesdrop on them.
Yuki came back to her friends and stomped the rock on the ground and breaks it.
Yuki: NO! I was too late.
Rin: You’re wet.
Retasu: We feel sorry for you.
Yuki: I wish I can meet Minoru so bad. He had to leave for his appointment.
Ryo: We tried the best to get you to meet him.
Yuki: I know. Maybe that’s why he left early from the conference room. I should’ve met him earlier. I didn’t want to break my reputation. I know there are some out there who wants me to pair with Ron, and I have no interest with him. He’s just my acquaintance. If they found out that I am love with Minoru, they may not like us, and they will bully him more and accuse him of breaking this rumor between me and Ron. I was being selfish for being afraid to talk to him in public just to protect me and especially him.
Retasu: We know how much this means to you. We all feel sorry for you.
Ryo: I know you don’t like seeing him getting hurt, but at least you are following your heart to where it belongs.
Yuki: I guess you’re right. Let’s go back inside.
Aki and Ren were eavesdropping, and they stopped recording the conversation from their phones, and went far from the entrance, to pretend they didn’t know what happen.
Yuki came back inside and they saw Aki and Ren walking.
Aki: Yuki, you been missing a few of surprised in the gym.
Ren: And you look so wet! Why did you go out without an umbrella?
Yuki: This is none of your business! I had to take care of something! I’m going back to the gym if that’s what you guys want!
Aki: Whatever.
Yuki and her friends went back inside while Aki and Ren stayed around in the main entrance.
Aki: Such a busy girl.
Ren: That chick has gone through a lot of things.
Aki: So when do we show this recording to Ron?
Ren: When the party is over and when Yuki leaves.
Aki: Ron’s not gonna like what he will hear.
Ren: That’s why we never trust Yuki.
Aki: So much for Ron’s love.
As Yuki heads back to the gym, Ron came up to her.
Ron: Yuki, you’re wet.
Yuki: I had to take care of something, again. Now, I’m free for the rest of the party.
Ron: Good. So, I want to ask you on a date during summer break.
Yuki: Thanks, but I am not ready for a relationship.
Ron: But school’s over. You don’t have homework, exams, or grades to worry about.
Yuki: Yeah, but I have my own personal life to worry about.
Ron: I see.
Yuki: Ron, I want to apologize that I have been missing a few things in the party and that I let you be the announcer alone, and that I got busy for many minutes.
Ron: That’s cool. I understand since you are popular in Fujiwara High.
Yuki: Thanks. Also, promise me that you respect the choices I make for myself on my own. That’s why I was busy.
Ron: It’s fine. I will.
Yuki: Good.
Yuki came to the stage and she holds a microphone. Her fans noticed that she’s wet and they talked.
Yuki: Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a quarter left of the party. Let’s make sure we have as much fan as we have in here before school’s over and when our summer break comes!
They cheered for her and clapped around inside the gym.
Yuki has been playing games, sign several more yearbooks, and hang out with the rest of her fans.
Later, it was the end of the party, and Yuki talked to Ryo.
Yuki: I wasn’t lucky enough to see him.
Ryo: That’s okay, sis. At least you had fun in the party.
Yuki: Yeah.
Ron came up to Yuki again and talk to her.
Ron: Yuki, I hope you have a good summer break.
Yuki: You too. I will.
She and Ryo left with Rin and Retasu.
Ron: I know Yuki will fall in love with me someday.
A minute later, Ron just left the gym and Aki and Ren ran up to him.
Aki: Ron, you should listen to this.
Ren: Yuki is up to something!
Ron: What did she do?
Aki: You will be surprised about this.
Ron grabbed his earphones from his pocket and plugged it to Aki’s phone and she played it. It was a conversation when Yuki was sad that Minoru left early.
(Yuki: . I didn’t want to break my reputation. I know there are some out there who wants me to pair with Ron, and I have no interest with him. He’s just my acquaintance. If they found out that I am love with Minoru, they may not like us, and they will bully him more and accuse him of breaking this rumor between me and Ron. I was being selfish for being afraid to talk to him in public just to protect me and especially him.)
Ron unplugged his earphones off and was shocked about it. He dropped his earphones.
Ron: When was this?
Ren: When Yuki was ‘busy’ for the last time. She was outside the school and saw Minoru left early for his appointment.
Ron: I can’t believe this. YUKI! YOU LIED TO ME! WHAT A TRAITOR! IT’S ALL MINORU’S FAULT! THAT LOSER BRAINWASHED HER! SHE’S SUPPOSED TO BE MY LOVE, NOT HIS! I WILL TAKE HER LOVE BACK TO ME, AND I WON’T PROMISE HER ANYTHING JUST TO GET HER BACK! DARN!!! I HAVE TO WAIT ALL SUMMER JUST TO COME BACK HERE TO TALK TO THIS KID TO LEAVE YUKI ALONE! ARRRGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Later in the same day, Minoru was laying on his bed, feeling sad that he didn’t meet Yuki.
Minoru: Yuki, I’m sorry that I wasn’t as brave enough as I expected. I really wanted to tell you how much I love you, and I want to show you my sketches of you. I just wanted to meet you.
He cries on the pillow.
Minoru: (sob) I gotta wait the whole summer to meet you. That was my last chance.
At Yuki’s house, Yuki lays on her bed, being depressed about Minoru. Her friends and Ryo wanted to talk to her.
Yuki: How can I do this? I wish I could talk to him sooner.
Rin: At least he will come back in the next grade.
Yuki: And you know how long I have to wait until summer is over?
Retasu: Two months and a half.
Yuki: He was so important to me. I can’t believe I have to live like this. I should’ve been more sensitive to him and not care of what other’s think, but then people like Ron may hurt him.
Rin: That’s one negative thing of being the popular person.
Ryo: It’s mostly because some think that he’s weird because of what teachers do to him, but we don’t think of him that way.
Yuki: Yeah. He is the sweetest guy I know, and his interests attracts me. He’s so cute.
Retasu: So, you are gonna think about him the whole summer?
Yuki: That’s my only option as well as waiting until I see him again. Too bad that we don’t know where he lives.
Rin: Yeah.
Retasu: What about online?
Yuki: It isn’t safe since our privacy isn’t handled very well, and I actually want to meet him in person.
Ryo: I see.
Yuki: But don’t worry, I may be sad that I lost my chance to meet him earlier, but we can still have a good summer for the four of us.
Ryo: We will.
They had a great summer vacation for two months and then at the beginning of September, Yuki’s alarm clock triggers and she stops it.
Yuki: Summer’s over. At least the only thing is to meet Minoru this time. (talks faintly)
