Chapter 05- clues
Takumi had nothing much to do so he stopped by the GS gas station to hang around for a while. His former manager saw him and asked "Takumi? Don't you have practices today?"
"nope, its been postponed for Ryousuke's...um...ill"
"Takashi Ryousuke, ill? But that's impossible! I served him here when he stopped by for some gas at around 8:30pm"
"huh? Manager, are you sure???" Takumi insisted
"sure as sure...cause White FC=Takahashi Ryousuke"
"did you notice anything strange about him?"
"strange? um...now that you mentioned it, he DID seem unusual...he had this blank stare and was a bit...off....didn't focus too much"
"oh...okay. Thank you, manager" Takumi said. He decided to call Keisuke and tell him about it when someone honked. He turned around and saw Iketani & Kenji hurry to him
"Takumi" Iketani called out
"Sempai, what brings you here?"
"never mind that. I don't know what's going on but we saw a White FC..."
"don't tell me...Takahashi Ryousuke?"
"exactly, and believe it or not, he had a girl beside him"
"what??? Are you sure sempai???"
"yup...positive..." Iketani said
"it looks like he's been doing this since yesterday. I also saw him by a vending machine...like he was waiting for someone..." Kenji added
"What is going on, Takumi?" they all asked Takumi hesitated a bit but then said "okay, since you're not in the team, I'll tell you..." and he told them what Keisuke told him earlier.
"you know what Takumi..." Iketani said after Takumi finished storytelling "I think Ryousuke's lovesick..."
"yeah...I think so too, Sempai" Takumi said
"look, all the clues all lead to signs of lovesickness: blank stare, no focus of mind...then all of a sudden we see him with a girl already."
"yup...I know"
"so what're you going to do now? You MUST save him...for his sake AND reputation" Kenji asked
"um...I think I'll notify Keisuke first, THEN I'll think of something..." Takumi said as he proceeded to the phone booth. He dialed the Takahashi's home phone number then...
"Takahashi Residence, Keisuke speaking" Keisuke said on the other line
"Keisuke? It's me, Takumi. Listen, I have news about your brother...shocking ones..." Takumi replied
"huh? What is it, Takumi?
"well...I THINK that he's...um...lovesick...and—" Takumi was cut off by the sound of something heavy dropping on the floor
"uh...Keisuke? You still there? are you still alive?"
"my Aniki's...lovesick..." Keisuke choked out
"but its ONLY a thought, though I haven't seen it myself, but Iketani and Kenji sempai...and the manager, they all saw him...and according to them, he seemed strange...and when we processed all the data, I came up with that output...there were signs..."
"like what?"
"blank stare, out of focus...stuff like that" Takumi replied
"can't you think of something to cure it?" Keisuke asked
"not at the moment...how about you? Any ideas?"
"I have one, but it'll only help us...we notify the team. That way we can get MORE ideas and even MORE people to do them"
"so we notify them tomorrow, then what?"
"then we make a plan"
"that's really smart of you" Takumi commented
"well, I'm a Takahashi, am I not?" Keisuke bragged but he continued on "hopefully the team doesn't freak out or something...well then...since there's nothing much to say, bye! Thanks for notifying me."
"you NEEDED to be notified...anyway, bye then" Takumi replied then hung up.
