Chapter 169: Otsuki-san and Kaede are planning to add more punishment games?
Nikaido had unexpectedly come out to me, but I honestly couldn’t believe it. She was an athletic ace in the basketball team? There could be no way that she would be deadly bad at it, right!?
“It’s not that I’m terrible at it, okay? But I have a fatal lack of taste, or something… Well, you’ll know what I mean when you actually see it.”
Nikaido said with a shrug of her shoulders and a bitter smile. If she said so much, it might be true, but she must be trying to be humble after listening to Otsuki-san and Kaede’s stories.
“Stop it, Yoshizumi. Don’t stare at me with such expectant eyes. I’m really bad at this. I’m a good match for Yui-chan at the most.”
“Again! There’s no way that would happen to Nikaido-senpai, right? You’re joking too hard.”
Yui-chan poked Nikaido in the side with her elbow and teased her. Meanwhile, Otsuki-san and Shinji stood in front of the lane. By the way, the lane was divided into two groups: the group of Otsuki-san, Kaede and Yui-chan, and the group of Shinji, me and Nikaido.
“Akiho-chan! Please do your best! Let’s win this game, for sure!”
“Huhuhuhu. Leave it to me, Kaede!”
Otsuki-san made a V-sign at Kaede. Then I should say something to my friend here. I made eye contact with Nikaido who was sitting next to me. She could feel the words we should be saying as I relayed it with a wink and a crack.
“Shinji! You don’t have to take them all down, you can just bowl a gutter out of nowhere! In fact, I’d appreciate it if you did!”
“That’s right, Higurashi! Relax your shoulders and put it in the gutter!”
“No, no, no. Yuya and Nikaido-san both of you are saying such terrible things. You can just be normal and supportive there, right?”
Shinji looked annoyed at the loud yelling. Good, get angry more, Shinji. The more you get angry, the more you put extra pressure on your shoulders and the more you lose control.
“Aah… Yoshizumi-senpai and Nikaido-senpai are looking really bad”
Yui-chan was a little reluctant, but I didn’t care. If I lose, I’m going to have to buy her lunch afterwards. And I’m curious about Kaede’s enthusiasm. I’m not sure if she was planning on just buying me a drink, but maybe she was planning on adding a punishment game.
“Fufu… I’m going to win this game, and then Yuya-kun will let me eat it. Hehe… I think I’ll have a parfait. I like pancakes, too. Hehe”
Kaede’s disheveled smile said it all. So, if I lose, I’m going to have to give Kaede an ‘ahhh’. If it was just the two of us, it would still be too embarrassing to do it in front of everyone.
“Shinji! Get it off me!! I swear to God, take it off!”
“Shut up, Yuya! If that’s the case, I can’t lose too! I’m so embarrassed to have given Akiho a kiss before in front of everyone”
“Shin, will you give me ‘ahh’? I’d love to”
Otsuki-san approached Shinji with a cat-like voice. It was so bruising. The way she looked up at him and peeked into his face was very bruising. The effect was amazing and Shinji’s face turned red and embarrassed. I’m sure his heart must be beating as fast as it could right now.
“Both of you, hurry up and throw it! I mean, if Akiho and Higurashi do that to you, you won’t be able to take care of yourself!”
“That’s right! It’s enough for Kaede and Yoshizumi-senpai to create a strawberry atmosphere! Or rather, I don’t want more than that!”
Nikaido and Yui-chan were yelling at each other. That’s right, there’s a jam in the back too, so you’d better hurry up and throw it.
“I guess so, too! So long, Shin. I won’t go easy on you from here on out! If you lose, it’s on me, so be prepared!”
“I’ll leave such embarrassing things to Yuya… Huh? But even if I won, wouldn’t it be the same in the end if they showed Yuya and Hitotsuba making out anyway?”
Otsuki held the ball at his chest. I could see from here that he was switched on and focused. Standing slightly left of center. He exhaled quietly and walked out in a relaxed motion, pulling his arms back and using the momentum to wriggle his arms as he threw the ball. The ball went straight to the diagonal, that was to say, to the right, but it turned quickly in front of the pin and hits the leading pin
“Yes! Strikes!”
All the pins fell down with a loud bang. With a perfect strike from the first pitch, Otsuki-san jumped back and exchanged high fives with Kaede-san. If it wasn’t the move that the pros use, how could someone get such a beautiful curve with a ball from a bowling alley?
“The key is to use the snap of your wrist! Or, you can throw with your thumb removed. In that case, it’s better to hold it with both hands. You might hurt your wrist if you don’t get used to it!”
“… What should I do, Yoshizumi? I don’t think I can win. I mean, how can a ball curve so easily?”
Nikaido shuddered with a drawn out expression. In soccer and baseball, if you wanted to curve, all you had to do was rotate, but this was not so easy to do in practice. That was why what Otsuki-san did was amazing.
“More importantly, Shinji… aah, both ends are still there. I can’t even get a spare.”
Shinji came back with his shoulders slumped. In a sense, it was a show-stopping situation, but it was impossible for us amateurs to pop the pin and hit the other pin. In the end, Shinji’s second throw ended up only adding one more pin.
“Well then, I guess it’s our turn! Oh, and if I get a strike, please give me a nudge!”
Kaede gave me a wink that made me feel like a twinkling star. If I say “yes” lightly, Kaede would do as she said, but if I refused, she might be depressed and sad. What was the right answer to this?
“Then I’ll throw first. Please watch me!”
Kaede set up the ball while I was struggling. With a serious look in her eyes, she looked at her target and quietly started walking. Then she threw the ball with beautiful form, and it ran down the lane with a beautiful rotation, bouncing off all the pins.
“I did it! Look at this, Yuya-kun! I got a strike, too! Boo!”
Kaede’s radiant smile and V-sign were very dazzling. You’ve messed with my mind, though.
