That night, aside from Sawamura being warned not to train, everyone else agreed to practice their swings at home.
Sendou searched through his closet alone for something. His usual lifestyle was rather carefree, and he did not particularly like cleaning his room, but his room could still be considered orderly amid the mess.
"Found it! Tomorrow, it'll be your chance to appear alongside your brother! Partner!" Before long, he was speaking to a cardboard box.
"Your first game is next Saturday, right? I'll come watch.
Don't get the wrong idea! I'm going to cheer everyone on! I'm still not over being mad at you!" That night, Fumino contacted Sendou as usual and said she would come watch the game, then gave a forceful explanation as if afraid he would misunderstand.
"Mm-hm! Okay!" (Kid, you just killed the conversation!)
"Then I'm going to take a bath!"
"Mm-hm! Bye!"
Tokyo, a few seconds later!
Smack! Fumino tossed her phone straight onto the bed!
"What did that mean? Is it really that hard for him to talk to me?"
"It's not broken, right?
Thank goodness, it's fine!
Hmph!" Only then did she really go take a bath!
(Women really were troublesome creatures, lol!)
Elsewhere,
"Sure enough, I really don't understand what girls are thinking!
I should go take a bath too!" Sendou stretched, yawned, and said off-key.
And so, the next day arrived.
"Sendou! What period is English today?!" There was only one person who would talk like that.
"What's wrong? What does it have to do with you? Don't you sleep through every subject?"
"Shut up! You do too! Oh, right, how could you possibly remember the schedule?"
"No! There are classes where I don't sleep! And I did remember the schedule properly!"
"Seriously? Then what period is English?"
