Chapter Thirteen: Episode Seven
The players of the U-17 camp were chatting with each other while they prepare for the next episode.
"You know..." Kirihara started. Everyone looked at him questioningly.
"Is time still moving?" Kirihara asked with a sigh.
The others blankly stared at him and his nonsense question.
"Of course it's moving. If time stops, our movements will freeze as well you know." Marui answered his kouhai.
"Well you know, we might be one of those main characters in a manga where we're the only ones who notice."
The others decided to ignore Kirihara and move on with their lives.
Marui sighed, "You read too much manga, Akaya."
"What made you ask that question anyway, Akaya?" This time it was Yagyuu.
Kirihara hugged his 'Catherine' closer and answered, "Well, we've been here in this audio visual room for like, seven chapters already. Won't the coaches get mad at us or something for slacking off?"
"Well, our practice ended already so it's our free time. The coaches won't mind us slacking off once in a while. We, youths, need our break you know." Marui said and blew a gum after.
"And besides, even if seven chapters passed already, every video is eleven to twelve minutes so for seven videos, only one hour and some minutes passed." Renji said.
Kirihara sighed, "I don't like mathematics. Is an hour a long time?"
"What are you? Kindergarten? Even children know how much is an hour." Marui said, smacking Kirihara on the head.
"That hurts, senpai!"
Title: Whose 'spectacle' is this?
"Oh it started." Kirihara and the other players in his table stopped chatting and looked at the screen.
Inui and Yuushi teaching Hiyoshi about glasses.
Kai and Hirakoba shows up.
"..." The players stared blankly at the screen.
"Why are they in that position?" Momo pointed at the screen and took a glance at the Higa chuu members, specifically Hirakoba and Kai.
Kai just sighed and said, "Just watch."
"Maybe Hirakoba just likes to hug random glasses post like that and Kai just feels like bending all of a sudden." Eiji snickered.
"We do not!" Hirakoba and Kai chorused.
Glasses aren't that simple objects, you know. -Yuushi
You could say glasses represent a part of the personality. You can get a lot of data by surveying various glasses. -Inui
"You can?" Kawamura asked Inui. Inui's glasses shined.
"Seeing Inui-senpai's glasses only makes me think of disgusting juices and what his eyes look like." Momo whispered to Ryoma and Ryoma just nodded.
Eh, is that so? -Hirakoba
Dun understand the slightest. -Kai
Well, if the person himself doesn't wear glasses, it might be a thing they cannot easily understand. -Tezuka
Oh Tezuka -Inui
What the- you really meet people you know today, indeed. -Yuushi
Did you come shopping for glasses as well? -Inui
No, today is maintenance only. -Tezuka
It might be just me, but aren't there a lot of glasses at this shop? -Kai
"Well, duh. They're in a glasses shop right?" Zaizen stared at Kai sympathetically as if implying that he feels sorry that he was born stupid.
"A glasses shop is a weird place to hang out though." Kamio commented.
"Not a place where you bring your girlfriend, you mean." Momo teased.
"Yeah." Kamio agreed then realized what he said and shouted, "What! Leave me alone already Momoshiro!" Momo just snickered.
"Won't his cap fall off being positioned like that though?" Ryoma asked, commenting on Kai's cap and position.
"His cap defies physics." Marui said.
"As if our tennis doesn't defy physics." Shiraishi said with a sweatdrop.
Well of course, being a spectacle shop and all. -Hirakoba
Ah, really? -Kai
"You freaking didn't know you were in a glasses shop?" Momo shouted. Kai just laughed.
Is it okay if I ask a question? -Tezuka
What is it? -Inui
Why are you talking frozen to a spot like that? No matter how much this is a picture drama, that's too unnatural, don't you think? -Tezuka
"That's our Tezuka! He already knows they're in a picture drama!" Eiji said then realized and shouted, "EH? How come you know that you're all in a picture drama?"
Tezuka simply answered saying, "While I was outside the shop, a person wearing a hood covering his face said that they're filming a picture drama inside before I went in."
"Eh? That's so unfair! How come they let you know but didn't let us know?" Kirihara said.
"And who was that person who told you anyway?" Shishido asked, his mind thinking up ways to kill whoever that person is for secretly invading his privacy like the last episode.
Tezuka takes a step.
Please don't move! -Hiyoshi
You're... Hiyoshi? What is this all about? Seems there's a reason behind this. -Tezuka
Yes. The truth is... -Hiyoshi
Flashback~
Aren't you Hyoutei's Hiyoshi? According to my data your eyesight is -0.5 so the probability of you wearing contact lenses is 94 percent and the reason that Hiyoshi is looking for glasses is you lost your glasses you use at home and that's why the probability of buying glasses is 88 percent. However because it's been so long since you've been in a glasses shop and there's so much to choose from, the probability of you not knowing what to pick is 82 percent. -Inui
"Let the guy speak, Inui/Inui-senpai!" Eiji and Momo said at Inui.
"Have pity on the poor author of this story pausing the video and copying the mega ultra long line you said!" Kintarou said then he added, "By the way, the author of this story doesn't own the video~"
Ah, no... -Hiyoshi
If that's the case, I'll just have to give some advice. -Inui
What? I'm in no need of such. -Hiyoshi
To begin with... -Inui
'He's not listening to Hiyoshi at all.' The players watching the video thought at the same time.
Choutaro patted Hiyoshi and cheered him up saying, "It's all okay, Hiyoshi."
Hiyoshi just sighed.
Isn't it Hiyoshi? And even Inui's here. A bit of a surprise. -Yuushi
I came to order a pair of spare glasses, however Hiyoshi begged for me to help him choose. -Inui
No, I don't really... -Hiyoshi
Is that so? If so, I'll help you out as well. -Yuushi
'...I feel sorry for him.' They all thought while staring at Hiyoshi.
Choutaro patted him again on the back but now Kabaji joined him in patting.
"We listen to you Hiyoshi. Don't mind it at all." Choutaro cheered him up. Hiyoshi just sighed.
Oh, as expected of Tokyo's spectacle shop! -Hirakoba
There are heaps of glasses. -Kai
Those sunglasses look cool! -Hirakoba
That's true, so cool! -Kai
Shall we try 'em on? -Hirakoba
Imma try them on first! -Kai
I found 'em first! -Hirakoba
Winners keepers! VIKING HORN! -Kai
"There's another guy here that won't listen." Kenya commented while glancing at Kai.
"Yeah, Hirakoba already mentioned spectacle shop and then he still didn't know they were in one." Momo agreed.
Kite sighed, "You two are such children."
NO WAY! Whatcha thinking using Viking Horn on the stand? -Hirakoba
Sorry, sorry... -Kai
Kite rubbed his temples and a vein pop showing on his head.
"Seriously, what is he thinking doing that? Is he seeing the stand as a tennis ball? But he must be stupid and blind to not see that it wasn't a tennis ball. Won't the owner get angry at all the glasses that fell on the floor? Some glasses might have cracked and they would have to pay for it and it would cause big trouble since Higa chuu are poor..." Shinji mumbled.
Fudomine members sighed.
"Maybe he isn't thinking at all?" Kintarou grinned. Kai vein popped.
"As if you can think. Oh wait, you can't since you don't have a brain." Kai countered.
"What? I do have a brain you know and I use my brain unlike you!" Kintarou countered back.
"A kid who believes that his captain's bandaged arm is filled with poison doesn't use his brain at all, stupid." Kai said.
"Eh? Shiraishi-san's arm doesn't have poison?" Kirihara blinked.
Rikkaidai members and others stared at Kirihara dumbfoundedly.
"Oi, oi Akaya. You fought in a doubles match with Shiraishi right? He removed the bandage right? Now think of what the heck you're asking now?" Marui said.
"People who call others stupid are the stupid ones!" Kintarou continued to argue with Kai.
"Ore-sama orders everyone to shut up!" Atobe said with a vein pop in his head. Everyone miraculously listened and shut up.
DON'T YOU DARE MOVE! -Hiyoshi
What happened? -Yuushi
A contact lens fell. -Hiyoshi
End of Flashback~
"Oooohh! So that's what happened." The players commented finally having their questions answered. Except Kai's stupidity.
I see now, so Hiyoshi's contact lens fell somewhere here in this store. You can't recklessly move around, indeed. If that's the case, it can't be helped. And staying still is good practice as well. -Tezuka
"... That's our Tezuka. Always thinking of practice twenty four hours a day." Eiji whistled.
"What does staying still practice though?" Kintarou asked.
"Why don't you try it later, Kin-chan?" Shiraishi suggested all the while thinking, 'If he does, it would be a moment of peace even for just a while.'
But being in the same position is tiring! -Kai
What are you talking about? This was your fault in the first place. -Yuushi
I do feel really bad for this! -Kai
Anyway, glasses sound a bit pain in the ass. Even Eishiro is always wiping them during practice. -Hirakoba
Wasn't that to make the glasses shinier so he can deceive the opponents? -Kai
Are you an idiot? No wait... with Eishiro, that just might be it. -Hirakoba
SMACK! SMACK!
The players turned to where the sound was coming from and saw Hirakoba and Kai with big bumps on their heads. Definitely caused by Kite.
The players sweatdropped.
That reminds me, I've known you for a long time, Inui. And I have no recollection of you ever removing your glasses even once. -Tezuka
That's basically because I remove them only when I go to sleep. For me, glasses are really a part of my body. -Inui
That's really exaggerated. -Kai
Not really. I feel they're a part of my body as well. I'm Oshitari Yuushi when I'm wearing glasses. -Yuushi
"It's time to remove the glasses, Inui!" Eiji said, climbing onto Inui's back and forcing his glasses out of him.
"Wait! Isn't that bad? He says that his glasses are a part of his body so if you remove them from him, isn't he gonna die?" Kintarou said.
Sweatdrops from various players followed.
"Idiot, he did say he removes them when he sleeps you know." Ryoma said.
Kenya then smirked and he whispered something to Kintarou.
Kintarou then gasped, "EH? He turns into a superhero when he removes his glasses? That's so cool!"
Players blankly stared at Kintarou. Kenya snickered which earned him a smack on the head by Shiraishi.
It was when I was still a small kid. -Yuushi
Flashback~
Hey Yuushi! Look, look! I brought these from my folks, let's play docs! -Kenya
What Kenya, I'm in a good part now. -Yuushi
"WHAT? That's Kenya?" The players shouted.
"The Oshitari cousins are so cute as children." Tomoka and An squealed.
"So what the book says on chapter three was true after all." Ryoma said.
"Yeah, that his hair was bleached. But his hair is kind of blackish though not blue." Momo commented.
"Ahahaha! Who is that? It doesn't look like Kenya at all!" Kintarou laughed. Kenya vein popped.
"It's hard to believe that Yuushi loves video games though. I didn't know that." Gakuto commented.
"Well it already showed last chapter ten episode four that he still plays online games." Hiyoshi said.
That's so elementary school. -Yuushi
But we ARE elementary students! -Kenya
You're right... -Yuushi
"What the heck? You didn't know you were an elementary kid?" Atobe said to Yuushi.
"Yuushi acts too mature for his age." Kenya sighed, "Except for games though. Auntie won't let him buy eroge games."
"What is eroge?" Kintarou, Kirihara, and Ryoma asked.
"Kenya!" Shiraishi shouted as he smacked Kenya on the head once again.
"Just so you know. What Kenya is saying is full of lies. I never wanted an eroge game."
"But didn't you say on your book that you like girls with pretty legs." Momo teased, "Hyaa! Such a pervert."
Yuushi smiled at Momo. The kind of threatening smile that the people in the devil's room usually make. Momo shivered.
"I'll shut up now." Momo said.
What, I don't really look like a doctor. -Yuushi
That's right, Yuushi. Try these on! -Kenya
Eh? I'm super dizzy now! -Yuushi
That's fine! It looks super authentic now! -Kenya
That so? -Yuushi
Yuushi, you look really smart! -Kenya
This is... me? -Yuushi
"No shit. Of course it's you." Momo whispered. Eiji and Ryoma sweatdropped. Is Momo holding a grudge against Yuushi or something?
"Ahn? You never told us this story yet, Oshitari. So it was your cousin's fault that you wear glasses." Atobe said.
The me that I saw wearing glasses within the mirror. I looked so darn cool, so it was then I started wearing glasses from that moment. That moment gave birth to a whole new Oshitari Yuushi. -Yuushi
"He's starting to act like monkey king there." Ryoma commented.
"The self-praising?" Eiji snickered.
Excuse me. Can you clear the path? -Kite
Oh! Eishirou! -Kai
Hirakoba-kun and Kai-kun. -Kite
Kite, always so demanding. Did you come to buy new glasses. -Tezuka
No, I just came to repair the broken glasses. -Kite
Is that so? From that time... -Tezuka
That aside, why are you having a conversation postured like that? No matter if this is a picture drama, that's a little unnatural. -Kite
"EH? Kite-san also knows?" Kirihara said.
"Yeah, I also met the hooded guy telling me that." Kite answered.
"Why didn't we met him?" Hirakoba and Kai asked.
"Maybe because you two are stupid?" Kite answered.
"How is being stupid connected to not meeting the guy?" Hirakoba sweatdropped.
DON'T MOVE! -Hiyoshi
Seems like there's a reason behind this. -Kite
Yes. The truth is... -Hiyoshi
So that's what happened? I apologize for our Kai-kun being a bother. Kai-kun, apologize to everyone. -Kite
I've already apologized numerous times! But that aside... -Kai
What's wrong? -Kite
I wanna go to the toilet... -Kai
Just bear with it! Because it's you who's the origin of this problem. -Kite
But I'm already at my limit! -Kai
Loads of laughter filled the room.
"That call of nature is such a bad timing in that situation." Marui said while laughing. Heck, he almost swallowed his bubble gum from laughing too much.
"Oh shut up already guys! Stop laughing!" Kai said.
But wait! If I use shukuchihou-! I can move in a split moment! -Kai
You mustn't, Kai-kun! -Kite
Crack...
"..." Was the players' reactions.
"He's stupid." Zaizen mercilessly said.
I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! -Kai
It's fine already... -Hiyoshi
By the way, Hiyoshi. Have you decided yet? -Inui
Eh, what? -Hiyoshi
Isn't it clear? How do you like your new glasses? -Yuushi
With functionality and stress durability! -Inui
Or designed fashionable ones? -Yuushi
Now, which is it? -Inui and Yuushi
Neither. I'm getting the basic contacts anyway. -Hiyoshi
All Hyoutei members patted Hiyoshi on the back.
"That's okay, Hiyoshi." They all said to him. Hiyoshi sighed.
"Ahahaha! To think they didn't move out of their spot for nothing." Momo laughed out loud.
"I feel so embarrassed being this guy's captain." Kite said, massaging his temples.
"I already said I was sorry!" Kai said.
"Kai was the origin of the problem and in the end he ended the problem to a bad end." Hirakoba sighed.
"It's because he's stupid!" Kintarou snickered.
"I thought that people who call others stupid are the stupid ones." Zaizen said.
Kintarou blinked.
"NOOO! I'm stupid!" He cried.
"He admitted it." Ryoma blankly said.
"Everyone shut up!" Tomoka and An chorused. The players zipped their mouths in shock.
"Next is the last episode! Kyaaaa! I've been waiting for this moment." Tomoka said crying tears of joy.
"You all better watch this closely! Especially you, Echizen-kun!" An said.
Ryoma blinked. For some reason, he felt a chill running on his spine. He has a bad feeling about this...
