Wait, what?

[gomenchai]

Despite all of the crankiness captain gives me, he still wants me to compete in a tournament, rather than some of the senpai who have been in the dojo longer.

He gave me some time to think on it and I'm kind of on the fence. Do I want to do that? My silver craft boss has already given the okay if I decide to go with it.

Obviously, the tournament is in Okinawa and it's in July. So there's time to actually train and everything. But he still wants the decision by Monday so I can start with the new regimen.

Man, this is weird.

Ah, what a shame it's in July, or we could have made a bit of a fun trip of it.


You are very good, Yuujirou, maybe you should actually do it.

[gomenchai]

Were you planning a trip on Golden Week by any chance? I was just thinking it might be time to visit home. It's been a while.

Ya think so? Thanks. I guess I just need a confidence boost or something to make a decision.

[legally_blond]

Yeah, I have to head back home for the week. I went back for New Years, it was nice.

Shall I inflate your ego some more?

[gomenchai]

Maybe we can head back together. Traveling would at least be less boring.

If you have enough material for such a feat.

[legally_blond]

You better book that plane ticket quickly then, Yuujirou. I'll message you my flight details. I'm sure I can even give you a lift back to your place once we get there too.

.... I'm sure some people find your skinny limbs attractive.

[gomenchai]

On it already.

If someone really loves noodles.

I don't see why you're surprised. Don't undersell yourself, Kai-kun, you are ahead of most in both talent and practice.

Let me know if I can assist you with anything in your decision-making process.

[gomenchai]

It's just weird since I'm one of the youngest and the newest recruit. Sure, I am better than most of them, but still.

I might take you up on that. It's kinda hard on my own.

[avant_goya]

And yet I suspect not many of them have been training as long as you have. You might not have been at the same dojo as them for long, but you are likely to be their senior in martial arts.

We can talk over lunch sometime this week, if that works.

[gomenchai]

Gee, you think so highly of me.

Sure.

I think it's nice that your captain things you are good enough to compete in a tournament. You must have something that your senpai don't. I don't know what that would be. I'm not good at martial arts, so I can't speculate. I don't have any training in any discipline other than tennis, but I do know how to fight. I'm not sure that would translate well to a martial art because from what I understand, there is a lot of patience required and I'd much rather just get it over with and continue with my day.

[gomenchai]

Yeah, I suppose. I mean, I admit that I'm the best there is when it comes to tonfa fights. So maybe that.

I didn't know you could fight. That's neat.
