"If I lose, I'll take back all the words I said, what about you?" Shintaro asked.
"If I lose I'll call you master and do anything you want!" Takane put her hand on her chest.
"Let's begin the game..." Shintaro muttered as he turned his head to the screen.
"You don't have to tell me what to do!" Takane grumpily sat down.
"T-Takane! Remember that you need to lose?!" Haruka whispered.
"Shut up! I NEED to win this game!" Takane yelled.
Everyone looked at their screens and soon left the room one by one.
Takane lost while Shintaro won, with a perfect too.
"N-No way...!" Takane looked astonished.
Shintaro got up from his seat and left once the audience left.
"Ah! Wait! You forgot your prize!" Haruka picked up the rare specimen and ran after Shintaro.
"Sorry, my friend can be rude sometimes..." Ayano smiled worriedly as she sat in the seat besides Takane.
Shintaro walked down the hall while listening to someone else's footsteps.
He kept walking and listening to those footsteps that weren't his.
He paused and Haruka ran right into his back by accident.
"By the way..." Shintaro mumbled, he turned his head to Haruka and pointed his finger at him, "WHY ARE YOU STILL FOLLOWING ME?!"
Haruka blinked for a while, "Um, you forgot to take your prize-"
"I don't want the prize!" Shintaro yelled.
Haruka just blinked some more, "But you won-"
"That doesn't mean anything if I won just leave me alone!"
"Haruka!"
Shintaro put his arm by his side again, "What?"
"My name is Haruka, remember, Shintaro!"
"I met you before?" now he's just plain confused.
"You know it's not polite to just forget about your friends!"
"Friends? But this is my first time-!"
"Fujoshi? Someone who likes yaoi?"
"Eh?! It's your first time hearing about yaoi and fujoshis?!" two friends that were girls walked by.
...
"OH! YOU'RE THAT GUY FROM THE TANABATA FESTIVAL! THAT REALLY IGNORANT GUY!" Shintaro pointed his finger at Haruka again.
"That jogs your memory?" Haruka sweated, "And calling me ignorant is a bit mean you know..."
"H-Hold on a minute..." Shintaro turned around.
"How did I forget I met him during my childhood? It's true that we didn't know each other well but how did I forget a member as ignorant as him?! Then again this is a different route than the others..." Shintaro kept mumbling to himself.
"Um, hello? Shintaro?" Haruka asked.
"Did you hear any of that?!" he turned around and glared at Haruka.
"N-No, it sounded like jiberish to me..."
Sometimes it's nice that this guy is ignorant...
"Wait, 'Shintaro'? You're acting all familiar with me, why's that?"
"Well we are friends right?"
Shintaro was a bit dumbfounded but soon enough he smirked.
"Whatever!" Shintaro sighed and raised his fist in the air diagonally.
Haruka looked dumbfound too but he then smiled. He did the same as Shintaro and put his wrist by Shintaro's making their arms look a bit like an 'x'.
"Huh? Did I know this type of handshake before?" Haruka was confused on how he knew to do that.
Shintaro sighed while sweating a bit.
Sometimes it's nice that this guy is ignorant, and sometimes it's a bit frustrating...
"Shintaro!" Kido and Kano ran to Shintaro.
"Let's go home now!" Kano said while tugging at Shintaro's sleeve.
"Okay, let's wait for Ayano outside then," Shintaro said, "You know you don't have to keep tugging at my sleeve since you're not 6 years old anymore, right?" he sweated.
"Actually it became a bit of a habit..." Kano sweated too.
"Can we get some cotton candy on the way outside?" Kido tugged at Shintaro's other sleeve.
"Has it became a habit for you too?" Shintaro started sweating a bit more while Kido nodded.
"Bye, Shintaro, oh and here," Haruka gave the rare specimen to Shintaro anyways.
"Bye, Konoha-" Shintaro realized what he just said and covered his mouth while walking to the entrance with Kido and Kano.
"Er- bye, Haruka."
Ayano walked past Haruka to catch up with the three.
"Konoha?" Haruka questioned.
"Here."
Kenjirou looked up from his book and saw that Shintaro putted down the rare specimen on his desk.
"Oh! It came back!" Kenjirou was of course very happy to see it again.
"D-Dad..."
Kenjirou turned to the door to see Ayano smiling worriedly.
"Did you spend all of the money the principal gave to you for that?"
He looked away with a very guilty smile while sweating a lot.
Ayano sweated.
"So you did..."
