"That's quite the team you got there, Senpai." I say when I notice Daichi was once again watching my every move. "Yes, they're quite the handful. But when they're on the court, there's no stopping us." He says, offering me a kind smile. "I'll take your word for it." I laugh, tapping off my feet to get rid of any excess dust. "You'll be getting to know them pretty well yourself, Kimiko! After all, they're all going to be kissing you." Aima chirps, so I whip to look over at her, my jaw dropping. I drop my water bottle, but Daichi easily reaches out and catches it. "No no no, Aima, that was not part of the agreement!" I hiss, climbing into the room and scrambling over to her. "Hey hey, it's not that bad? They're all cute, and considering their confidence, they're probably good at kissing." Aima laughs, though I grab her by the shoulders and begin shaking her. "That's not the problem, Aima! It's just- I-I'm not experienced like that!" I say, my cheeks burning- of course, I'd practiced on my own fingers, but I'd never actually kissed anyone. "It's not about your kissing skills, it's about theirs! I would do it myself, but I'd probably get too out of hand, and Misaki has a boyfriend!" Aima says, placing her hand on my shoulder.
"Well, I have to dance!" I squeak, though Aima just grins at me. "Girl, that's straight bull. Your dancing needs no work, you should have seen the boys! What did I tell you about those boots? The boys were panting and drooling all over!" Aima says, Daichi clearing his throat, making me jump as I forgot he was there. "The boots really flatter your legs, and your dancing was fantastic. I'll personally make sure that my boys don't step out of line in this competition." Daichi says confidently, handing me my water bottle which I take. "Thank you senpai, I appreciate the sentiment, but that's not really the problem here." I say, wiping my sweaty hands on my jeans. "What is the problem?" Aima asks, so I spare a glance at Daichi before leaning to whisper in her ear. "I've never kissed anyone before, and that's a lot of boys!" I whisper, pulling away as my cheeks burn like they're on fire. "Oh. Ohh! You're so silly Kimiko! This will be a great experience, I promise you! The captain promised that the boys won't step out of line, what could it hurt?" Aima laughs, gently patting my shoulder. "Oh I don't know, my purity!" I hiss, throwing my hands in the air as Daichi coughs, covering his mouth as his cheeks turn pink.
"Suzuki-chan, I will definitely make sure that there is no sex involved in this entire challenge, unless you explicitly say otherwise." Daichi says, clearing his throat and itching the back of his neck. My whole face feels like it's on fire as Aima just grins at me. "You see? Problem solved. It's a senpai's job to take care of their kohai, and we're both going to be looking out for you." Aima says, so I groan and bury my face in my hands. "Okay, hear me out. There will be… 32 kisses, 8 dates, and I'll even toss in all the food and snacks you want for the rest of the year. Even from that one cafe you like!" Aima says, so I slowly take a deep breath, peeking out to glare at her. "And that's a promise?" I grumble, Aima raising her hand as a pledge. "I mean, I can't promise that there won't be retakes, add ons, mess ups or delays, but I can promise I'll make it all up to you! You'll be doing me a major favor, Kimiko!" Aima says, clapping her hands together and giving me puppy eyes. "You aren't really making a good case for yourself." I groan as I roll my eyes, Daichi letting out a laugh. "Oh come on Kimiko! Once in a lifetime opportunity! You might be missing out!" Aima sighs, placing her hands on my arms.
