8. Fuji's Rival
Last Chapter
"You're really is struck with Kumiko-san, neh?" Akaya asked,
"It seems she's the kind that interests me much." Seiichi rather, answered,
"Yukimura-san, Sanada-san, Kirihara-san, I'm inished. Don't worry, it wasn't lacking. Actually, it was rather much." Kumiko replied sheepishly,
while Seiichi was chuckling, "I see. Well then, fancy some ice cream while we wait for your Onii-chan and his friends as well?" he asked,
"Eh? Oh, sure. Let me pay this time. After all, it seems there's much extra money for the three of us for ice cream." Kumiko said with a wink as she dragged Seiichi and Akaya,
End of Recap...
"I'll have chocolate." Sanada said,
"I'll have rocky road!" Akaya said,
"I'll have green tea." Seiichi replied while Kumiko shot an awh-ed stare, "Nani?" Seiichi asked,
"Iee, betsuni. Anou, I'll have Cookies And Cream." Kumiko told the ice cream girl, who prepared the ice creams,
"Kumiko-chan, where do you go to school?" Seiichi asked as they waited for the ice creams,
"Me? Ah, Seigaku." Kumiko replied as the ice cream girl handed their ice creams, "You?"
"The three of us go to Rikkai Dai." Sanada replied,
"Sugoyi! Rikkai Dai! My Onii-chan told me that Rikkai Dai is one of the best schools who played during the Nationals! I've heard your school bagged up the championship title twice! Sugoyi! Although, Rikkai Dai didn't win in the Finals over Seigaku, but still! It was a very good fight according to other people! Too bad, I wasn't in Japan that time." Kumiko said as she sighed,
"I see. I'll try to see if I can see some videos." Seiichi told her,
"Eh? Arigato Yukimura-san." Kumiko thanked him,
"Kumiko-chan, if you won't mind, please do call me Seiichi. After all, I am able to call you by your first name, then why not you as well towards me?" Seiichi asked, while Kumiko thought a bit,
"Now you've said it... It's quite unfair for my part, but I'm more used to it. But anyways, it won't hurt since you allowed me. So, sure!" she agreed with a nod,
"Neh, Kumiko-san, what's your family name?" Akaya asked as they went out the grocery,
"TEZUKA-CHAN! Nya!" Eiji glomped over the girl,
"Eiji-senpai? Eh? Onii-chan, Senpai-tachi, Momo-chan, Kaidoh-san, Echizen, you've made it on time. I'm surprised." Kumiko saw the Seigaku Regulars as she waved at them,
"Eiji-senpai, you're rather squeezing me... Air... Help!" she said as Eiji released her,
"Gomen, Tezuka-chan. nya!" Eiji apologized with a smile,
"Tezuka-chan? Then you're the Seigaku buchou's younger sister?" Akaya asked,
"Hai." Kumiko replied, clueless,
"Yukimura Seiichi, Sanada Genichirou, Kirihara Akaya. It's weird to see you here." Inui recognized,
"Inui-senpai, you know them?" Kumiko asked,
"Hai. Yukimura and Sanada are rather part of the Three Demons of the Rikkai Dai tennis club, and Kirihara is rather known as the Second Year Ace." Inui said, while he adjusted his glasses,
"It's good to see you again, Fuji." Seichii told Fuji with one of his smiles,
"You as well," Fuji told the other,
"Seiichi-kun, you never told me that you knew the Seigaku Regulars and you were part of the Rikkai Dai Team as well! How could you!" Kumiko asked Seiichi who was pouting,
"You never asked in the first place, Kumiko-chan." Seiichi replied with a smile,
'First name basis already?' the Seigaku regulars except for Fuji thought,
"Yukimura, how did you meet my imouto?" Tezuka asked with a rather stoic expression, Seiichi smiled back at him and explained starting with what Akaya did, the accident, up to the part where they bought cabbage and then they had ice cream while waiting for them,
"Iiiee... Data... to..." Inui said as he wrote what Seiichi told them,
"I see... So, you were having practice and Kirihara-san was escaping from laps. Well, the laps shouldn't be too many." Kumiko said, but rather seeing Akaya's face, "Or not?" she added with a questioning voice,
"Around 200 laps." Seiichi replied with a sadistic smile.
'Why does it seem that I keep on meeting sadistic people these days...' Kumiko thought with a smile,
'Wow, times five of the laps we were doing. If not, ten times sometimes.' the Seigaku regulars thought except for Tezuka,
"Hmm. I guess we should return now, especially since Akaya has to do his laps, neh Akaya?" Seiichi gave Akaya a 'do-your-laps-or-you-know-what-will-happen' smile
"Ha-hai Mura-buchou!" Akaya agreed, while the other regulars sweatdropped while Sanada shook his head in disbelief and sighed,
"Well then, see you soon minna. Kumiko-chan." Seiichi said as they left, "See you soon then." Sanada said, "JA!" Akaya said,
"See you soon, Sanada-san! Kirihara-san! Seiichi-kun!" Kumiko told the three as they nodded,
"So, your ingredients, Inui-senpai!" Kumiko told Inui as she gave the plastic to Inui, in which contained all the ingredients, especially, the cabbage which seemed to bring a rival to Fuji, that is.
"NEH! Kumiko-chan! Why are you first name basis already with the Rikkai Dai buchou?" Momo asked,
"Eh? Anou, he told me so, since I also told them to call me Kumiko as well." Kumiko replied, rather, cluelessly, while the others sweatdropped except for Tezuka and Fuji.
"Nani?" she asked as they stared at her with disbelief....
