They didn't travel far. They really only just went to the other side of the courts where all the furniture was stacked.
"As the Pet, you must select which pieces of furniture you will take back to your house." Ojii said.
Everyone gasped.
"To make it fair, we will just go down the line and you will each choose one." Said Ojii. "And then we'll start over and do it again until all the furniture is claimed. The amount of turns you get to chose things all depends on your amount of points."
"What exactly are our points?" asked Tachibana.
"Let's see…" Ojii said, looking at the clipboard. "Mizuki from Team One gets to select four pieces of furniture. Saeki from Team Four, Sengoku from Team Five, Eiji from Team Two and Tachibana from Team Three get to select three. Kaidou from Team Six and Atobe from Team Eight get to select two. Renji from Team Seven only gets one."
Everyone waited for more rules.
"Oh yes." Said Ojii. "That's a total of twenty-one pieces of furniture that are to be claimed, but we only stole a total of fourteen pieces of furniture from everyone's houses."
"What's that mean?" asked Mizuki.
"Well, we brought a few extra things just so we could keep our promise." Ojii said. "I will tell you what's up for grabs. We have three couches. Three kitchen tables. Three televisions. Two sets of bunk beds. Two comfy chairs. One big bed. A disco ball, a wading pool, a slide, a potted plant, a radio, a dry-erase board and a beanbag chair."
Ojii paused.
"Mizuki," said Ojii. "You get the first pick."
"Bunk beds." Mizuki said immediately.
"All right." Said Ojii. "Saeki? Second choice."
"The big bed." Saeki said.
"Sengoku?"
"Television!" Sengoku clapped his hands.
"Eiji?"
"Hm…" said Eiji. "This is tough… because my family isn't missing any furniture… maybe I'll go for…how about the wading pool?"
Everyone stared at him, but he nodded in confirmation.
"Okay…" said Ojii. "Tachibana, you're next."
"Well, we have enough beds for everyone…" Tachibana said. "So uh… comfy chair?"
"Okay." Said Ojii. "Kaidou."
"Kitchen table." Kaidou said.
"Atobe and then Renji." Ojii said.
"Bunk beds." Atobe said.
"That was going to be my choice." Renji said.
"Too bad." Said Atobe.
"Well…my family doesn't really need anything." Renji admitted.
Then he turned around and saw Jirou yelling "DISCO BALL! DISCO BALL!"
Renji faced Ojii again.
"We'll take the disco ball." He said finally.
"All right then." Said Ojii. "Now we're back at the beginning of the list. The things that remain are three couches, two kitchen tables, two televisions, one comfy chair, the slide, the potted plant, a dry erase board, a radio and the beanbag chair. Mizuki?"
"Couch." Mizuki said. "There's no way I'm going to be sleeping in the same bed as Fuji Shuusuke again."
"Yeah…" said everyone with utmost sympathy for him.
"Saeki." Said Ojii.
"I'll take a couch too." Saeki said.
"Sengoku now." Said Ojii.
"I'll take another television, please." Said Sengoku.
"Might I inquire as to why?" Ojii questioned.
"No." said Sengoku. "I have my reasons. Back off."
"Fine then." Said Ojii. "Eiji, your turn."
"Oh I don't know!" said Eiji. "We didn't need any of this stuff the first time around! How about… the slide?"
"Looks like you guys are going to be spending some time outdoors." Said Ojii. "How about Tachibana?"
"I pick…" Tachibana said slowly. "Beanbag chair."
"Next up is Kaidou and then Atobe, and keep in mind that these are your last choices so choose wisely." Said Ojii.
Kaidou looked at all the things that were available. "I'll take the potted plant." He said finally.
"How unexpected!" shouted everyone, but they were quiet when Kaidou glared at them.
"I will take the remaining television." Said Atobe.
"JERK!" cried Sengoku. "I wanted that television!"
"You already have two." Said Saeki.
"And you made us be the only team WITHOUT one." Said Mizuki.
"HAHA!" laughed Sengoku. "My mission is complete!"
"All right, the only things we have left are a couch, two kitchen tables, the comfy chair, the dry erase board and the radio." Ojii said. "Mizuki, you have first pick."
"I was GOING to pick a television…" said Mizuki. "But I don't really have that luxury anymore I guess. So I'll take our kitchen table back."
"Saeki? Last choice." Said Ojii.
"Wow, so many to choose from." Said Saeki sarcastically. "I guess I'll take our kitchen table back too then."
"Sengoku, your last pick." Said Ojii. "Between a couch, a dry-erase board, a comfy chair and a radio."
"Dry erase board, then." Said Sengoku.
"Eiji, your turn."
"Radio!" said Eiji with a shrug.
"Tachibana." Said Ojii.
"I literally don't need either of those things." Said Tachibana. "So I'll just take the comfy chair so we can all sit and watch television at the same time without having to have anyone sit on the floor."
"Way to just explain your life story." Said Saeki.
"Be quiet." Said Tachibana. He missed Fudomine.
"Well, Mizuki, since you have one choice left and there's only one option, you'll take the last couch." Said Ojii.
"I don't need another couch." Said Mizuki.
"Too bad." Said Ojii. "You have another couch now."
Ojii then looked around.
"You can head back to your houses." He said. "Your things will be magically taken there when you aren't looking."
"…Okay…" said everyone hesitantly as they went over to rejoin their teams and tell them the good or bad news.
