"Hey, wait a minute! I'm not ready yet." I said.
"Who cares? Step on it, or we'll win you."
"Atsushi-kun, you really are bad at playing games."
"Hey! How do u steer this?" I asked, looking at the controls helplessly.
"Just push it upwards and press that button."
"Thanks."
"Hahaha."
"Guys, we still need to go to the bowling alley." Tanaka said, looking at the screen of his phone.
"We're almost done over here."
"Okay."
~~~
"Ha… that was fun." I said as Akatsuki smiled at me.
"Told you so."
"Tsk, looks like some guys came in here before us." A guy with a Mohawk said, looking down at me.
*So tall!*
"Heh…? If it isn't the Team C guys. Shouldn't you guys be jogging around your compound now?"
"Did your coach really let you guys leave?"
"Hahaha, I'm surprised you guys have time to have fun."
"Um, could you guys excuse us, please?" Tanaka asked.
"Escuse you? You should excuse us, you little shit." The Mohawk guy said angrily.
*He looks and sounds like a delinquent.*
"Hey bastard! Don't talk to us that way. Believe it or not, I'll beat you up." Kimishita said, standing before the guy.
"Tsk, you brat." He said, headbutting Kimishita.
"You've gone and done it, you brat!" Kimishita said, grabbing his collar and throwing a punch at him.
"Hey! Kimishita, that's enough!" Tanaka said, trying to separate the fight.
"Come on, show that little brat what you're made of!"
"Hey, cut it out, Anji. We don't have all the time in the world." A guy with a red spiky hair said, pulling him backwards.
"Tsk, you got lucky fucker."
"Hey! Let me at him!" Kimishita shouted.
"Do put your dog on a leash." He said before brushing past us.
"Dammit!" Kimishita said trying to break free.
"Behave Kimishita!" Nakamura shouted.
"Tsk."
"Guys, why don't we go back to the dorm?" Tanaka asked.
"Now? It's too early for that."
"Let's go to the bowling alley!"
"Let's play basketball."
"Let's…"
*Well that was unexpected. Thank goodness they stopped them or things would have gotten messy.* I thought, smiling at them.
In the end, they decided to go to the bowling alley. When we arrived there, we got registered and ready to play.
"Loser gets to buy a drink for the winner." Nakamura said.
"Seems like I'm first." Tanaka said grabbing the bowling ball, he threw it in the lane and it hit a pin.
"Ha hahahaha." Akatsuki laughed.
"Whoa! That's unexpected."
"W-well, it's not like I'm good at everything. " Akaji said throwing the ball again.
"Just two, that's poor man." Watabe said laughing.
"Well, yeah. Looks like I'm still bad at this." Akaji said smiling.
"Kimishita, it's your turn." Nakamura said as Kimishita grabbed a ball violently and threw it down the lane.
"Whoa, that's a freakin' strike."
"Whoa."
"Tch." He said throwing it down again, he hit 8 pins and went ahead to sit.
"Hop." Akatsuki said, jumping down from his seat. "Looks like I'm up." He said, grabbing a ball.
He threw it down the lane and got 6 the first time.
"Well, that was unexpected." He said, throwing it the second time.
"That's a total of 17, a point away from Kimishita." Watabe said, imitating a commentator.
"Whoa, we've got a commentator, too?" Saitō asked.
They all went their rounds, and finally, it was my turn to throw mine.
*It's about time I raise my status, I'll make them shocked by my crazy play style.* I thought, grabbing a ball.
"You can do it, Atsushi." Akatsuki said.
*Hm? This shit is heavy.* I thought trying to hold it steadily.
"Whop."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha." They all laughed as the ball went in without getting a point.
"You went in like you knew what you were doing." Akatsuki said, laughing loudly.
"Shut up." I muttered.
"What do you do to end up that way?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha, I really can't believe someone sucks this bad." Kimishita said, bursting into laughter.
In the end, I didn't hit a single pin and ended up buying a drink for Kimishita.
"You really suck at that Atsu-kun." Akatsuki said.
"Shut it." I said.
"Hey guys, it's almost noon. Let's go grab a bite."
"Yeah, I'm starving."
We left the bowling alley and down to the eatery around the road.
"Today was fun, I tell you." Watabe said.
"Yeah."
"I wish we could have fun like this again."
"Me too."
We ordered our food, talked, laughed, and ate.
"Hey guys, let's go to a bathhouse." Akaji said.
"Huh?"
"Let's go there. That'll be the last place we'll be going today." He said.
"Wait, there's a bathhouse here?" Akatsuki asked.
"Yeah."
"Wait there is? Of course I'm going." Watabe said.
"Let's go, guys." He said, walking forward as we followed behind.
~~~
"Whoa, feels nice." Akatsuki said.
"It's not too different from our dorm." I said.
"Even though it feels so good…" He said, relaxing inside the bath.
"Well, you're right. Feels good to have a hot bath after walking around." I said as he smiled.
"Ha… I've never felt so satisfied." He said.
We put on a kimono after the bath and went to get some drinks.
"Whoa, this massage chair's the best." Watabe said.
"Where's your hair band?" Akatsuki asked as I dried my hair with a towel.
"Oh, looks like I lost it." I said, feeling my hair.
"How careless of you." He said.
"I'll buy another one when we get back." I said.
"Oh, hey guys." Tamura said as she and the other girls walked our way.
"Hey Hinami-chan." Akaji said, smiling.
"I knew I heard familiar voices."
"Looks like we all thought of the same fun things to do." Hayashi said.
"Hey." Sugawara said, walking up at me.
"Looks like you're having fun with the girls now." I said as she nodded.
"I'm surprised you agreed to join the guys." She said.
"You talk like I'm anti-social. I also wanted to take a break from training, you know." I said, looking around.
"More like you were forced into it?" She muttered.
"Is Ueta still in?"
"No, she wasn't feeling well, so she asked us to go without her."
*She wasn't feeling well?* I thought.
"Hmm, okay." I said.
"Guys, let's change and start leaving already." Saitō said.
We got changed and left the bathhouse.
"That really hit the spot." Akatsuki said.
"Mmn." I concurred.
"Glad you liked it." He said, smiling.
"Yeah…"
