chapter 2
yuushi began telling what had happened.
kintarou reached hyoutei and challenged atobe for a match. atobe should have refused since this was not an official match but he was arrogant. atobe agreed to play against kintarou.
kintarou had two conditions.
if kin chan wins
1. atobe would treat him to food for a week.
2. atobe would apologise to tezuka for injuring him.
atobe was very surprised by the second request.
they played and the score was 4-2. kin chan won . atobe was horrified, not by the prospect that he would have to treat the little redhead. he was annoyed because he would now have to apologise to tezuka. and atobe never apologised to anyone. he was the atobe keigo. but he was also a man who kept his promise.
kin chan then ate a lot. he was hungry after the match. he then bade the hyoutei team goodbye. atobe smirked in the end. he now understood why the little redhead was compared to ryouma.
yuushi,"that's what happened."
everyone was shocked. none of them expected this except for shiraishi. shiraishi knew his kouhai pretty well.
then yukimura told them what had happened at rikkaidai.
kintarou then reached rikkaidai. the rikkaidai regulars were practising. kin chan approached yukimura and whispered something in his ear. yukimura looked startled for a moment. he later smiled. he called sanada and asked sanada to play a match with kintarou.
kintarou won again. the score was 7-3. kintarou had told yukimura why he had come. yukimura had promised kintarou that sanada would apologise to tezuka if he lost. yukimura knew it was time sanada let go off the grudge.
marui really liked kintarou. he offered him some bubble gum. after eating it, kintarou became hungry. he then ate lunch with rikkaiddai regulars. after that he bade them goodbye and went back to his teammates.
tezuka,"that explains it. that's why he was so tired."
after this everyone decided to do a barbeque. tezuka went with shiraishi to wake up kintarou.
kintarou was still sleeping soundly. he was tired. he had really given it his all. he was very happy .
shiraishi woke kintarou. slowly kintarou opened his eyes. as soon as he saw tezuka he hugged him.
tezuka was a little surprised but he hugged him back.
tezuka,"thank you kintarou. but next time don't wear yourself out. you really are too kind."
kintarou,"okay."
kintarou then hugged shirashi who kissed his forehead and said,"i am proud of you kin chan."
kintarou smiled. he was very happy.
the three went out to join the others.
they all had a good time.
