Reaction of the Bettors


In Class 2-8

When Hikari returned to class, she was surprised to hear Momoshiro requesting her to help him with Math. He was proficient enough to get a perfect score! She cautiously annswered in the affirmative as curiousity took over. Then Momoshiro said, "So are you free today?" He coughed pretentiously, "At 5 or so?"
Then she had a rem acu tetigisti moment. So it had been a dare. I wonder why Fuji-sempai decided to lose. Well, let me kill the grinning idiot's happiness. "Actually no, Momoshiro-kun."
"Nanda?!"
"I have a date. How about tomorrow?"
Momoshiro's eyes got a glazed look and he stuttered, "Er- erm, I guess I'll manage myself Hikari-san."
She chuckled inwardly both at his bewilderment and at his use of the honorific and said, "Fine Momoshiro-kun."
"Ha-hai."


In Class 3-6

"Nya Fujiko, tell me what happened. She refused right? Don't feel bad. You are anyways immune to Inui's juices."
Fuji laughed as he was crushed by Eiji's hug and said, "Always jumping to conclusions Eiji! She didn't refuse."
Eiji's jaw dropped open. "Fujiko you mean you are Hikari-chan's boyfriend! Waah! I'm so happy for you!"
Fuji laughed once more. "Again! No. I'm not Eiji."
"Then?"
"I'll tell it to both you and Momo after practice."
"Nyaa Fujiko! Don't be mean! Tell me already. You don't wantmedie of suspense do you?"
"Maybe I do." Fuji smiled evilly.


After Practice - Locker room

Momoshiro walked up to Fuji sorrowfully, handed him the recording and said, "Here. I lost. I don't know how you did it Fuji-sempai. Best of luck for your date today."
Fuji gaped at the recording and said, "What do you mean?"
Momoshiro said, "I asked her and she said she had a date at 5 today. As to how I got hold of this - well, Ryuuzaki sensei asked me to give Buchou a parcel yesterday and when I went to his house, his mother ushered me into his room. He was in the bathroom, singing. So I recorded it and removed the sound of the water splashing. That's all."
None of this entered Fuji's head. He asked Momoshiro sharply, "She has a date with someone! Who?"
Momoshiro looked puzzled and said, "With you right? I didn't ask her that. You can stop gloating already. I'm going."
Fuji pulled the power player back and said, "I didn't even ask her! I want to forfeit the dare. I don't want to ask her on a date on that pretext. I sincerely want to date her. Take this. I'll go and search for her. Do me a favour. Stay back until Eiji finishes his match and let him know." With that the chestnut haired boy rushed out.
Momoshiro's romantic heart was touched and he started weeping with delight when he realised he was the reason for his beloved sempai's newfound love. When Eiji found him sitting with tears streaming down his face, he began to soothe the spiky haired player only to be reduced to tears himself once he heard what the events that had unfolded. They decided to give Fuji the recording as a token of their encouragement and support. This however did not extend to the Inui Juices.
