- Chapter 165: Let's Play Together!
“All right, boys! We’re going to have fun all day! Are you ready for that!?”
“Sir! Yes! Sir!”
“Private Miyamoto! That’s Ma’am!”
To Otsuki-san’s point, Yui-chan reiterated with a salute. By the way, Kaede, Shinji, and Nikaido just smiled at their enthusiasm. Last night before the Golden Week, which would end tomorrow, I suddenly received this message from Otsuki-san to Kaede.
‘We all want a day of fun!’
After that, it was decided that the five of us plus Yui-chan would play together. The greedy Otsuki-san chose a general entertainment park that had everything from bowling to game center, karaoke and batting center. You could see how serious she was.
“First, let’s split into teams and go bowling! Let’s have an equal number of teammates with rock, paper, scissors!”
“Yes, yes! I want to be on the same team as you, Yuya-kun!”
“Kaede, have you been listening to people? You just said that I’m equal!? It’s times like these that unusual combinations are the way to go!”
Otsuki-san raised her fist and emphasized, but I think that was true. I’d been spending a lot of time with Kaede, so it would be exciting to be in a separate team for a game like this. We can’t keep losing.
“Yuya-kun, please give us some rock! Let’s make rock together and be on the same team!”
“So, Kaede. What are you so proudly proclaiming?”
“That’s right, Kaede-neesan hey! Please lend me Yoshizumi-senpai at least for today!”
“Well said, Yui-chan.”
Otsuki-san shrugged her shoulders and gave the perfectly natural prodding to Kaede, who was brazenly offering an unfair deal, while Yui-chan treated me like a mascot. For some reason Nikaido patted Yui-chan’s head and praised her. I was about to make up my mind that if Kaede was going to do rock, I should go with something other than rock. Just when I was about to make up my mind, an alarm bell rang in my head. Was that really the right choice? Wasn’t this Kaede’s strategy? By declaring in front of everyone that she wanted me to make a rock, wouldn’t she be trying to narrow down my choices to paper or scissors, and then pair me up with her by faking a coincidence?
“… fufu.”
Kaede winked at me and smiled wryly. This was definite. Kaede’s earlier declaration was a bluff (lie). She was probably going to play paper or scissors. Then the only move I should make would be rock. There was no such thing as gubernatorial logic.
“Okay, I’m off… let’s split up!”
Everyone started to play their roles at the same time as Otsuki-san called out. Of course, I made rock. Kaede’s answer was not rock but scissors as expected. And the teams were all decided in the first round.
“Oh! What a coincidence that it was a one-shot deal! It’s a shame you and Shin got separated, but it can’t be helped!”
“Aah… I’m separated from Yuya-kun”
“Mou! Don’t say that! We’re in this together!”
Kaede’s shoulders slumped in disappointment while Otsuki-san smiled and said she had no choice. Otsuki-san also made scissors so they were now on the same team so don’t be so depressed. I tapped Kaede on the shoulder
“I never thought I’d be on the same team as Yoshizumi. It’s nice to meet you.”
“Aah, take good care of him, Nikaido.”
Nikaido, who had become my partner by making rock as well as me, called out to me. I was indeed surprised by this. I wondered why Nikaido played rock. Could it be that she thought I was going to play rock in response to Kaede’s declaration and wanted to stop me from doing so?
“Well, that’s about it. If Yoshizumi and Kaede were on the same team, we’d both collapse from sugar overload. I was just trying to prevent that from happening.”
“I knew it”
You’ve lost the plot, Kaede. If you had simply followed the declaration without trying to play mind games, you would have ended up with an even score. This was the kind of result you get when you play games unnecessarily. I mean, Nikaido, no matter what Kaede and I do, we’re not going to sprinkle sugar on you while you’re bowling?
“There’s no one here who would believe such words, Yuya. Don’t tell me you forgot to ski at the extracurricular camp, okay? Oh, nice to meet you, Miyamoto-san.”
“Ha, yes! It’s nice to meet you, Higure-senpai! What’s this extracurricular camp skiing?”
The two who made par were Shinji and Yui-chan. It was an unexpected combination, but when you see them side by side like this, you realize that they may be more alike than you think. Rather, they seem like siblings?
“… I’ll tell you about it while we’re bowling. I’ll tell you in detail how much Yuya was spoiled by Hitotsuba, so look forward to it.”
“Yes! It’s going to be kind of a sugar dabble and a lot of work, but I’m looking forward to it!”
“I don’t think it’s that fun to talk about. And I’m not taking advantage of Kaede. If anything, it is Kaede who takes advantage of me.”
“It was a tough time… I taught Yuya, a skiing beginner, how to ski… He was scared and shaking while riding the lift… I held his hand.”
Kaede placed her hands on her cheeks, looking enraptured and nostalgic for the memories, wait a minute. I didn’t shake like a newborn fawn when I was riding the lift!? It was true that we held hands, but everything else is fake!
“Mou, Yuya-kun, you’re so embarrassed. Did you forget that you were trembling and wondering what to do?”
“That’s what you’re talking about when you get off!?”
“Both of you. That’s enough flirting for now, let’s get going!”
Otsuki-san, this is a memory swap, not a lovey-dovey thing!? And Kaede, don’t come here smiling and twining your arms around me! This is not our house. There are lots of people watching, it’s embarrassing!
“… Higure-senpai. What do you have to say for yourself?”
“… Yeah. I’m sorry about something, Miyamoto-san.”
