Episode 9 – Yeah, in that case it’s okay because you already have permission

“What’s next?”

“Bowling, I guess. We’ve come all the way to Phase One.”

“Okay, let’s go to the reception desk right away.”

Since there was no particular objection, I started to go to the bowling reception with Kano san.

“Come to think of it, I haven’t gone bowling with Kano san since elementary school.”

“As I recall, we went to a neighborhood association event together.”

“That was my first time bowling, and I remember I struggled a lot.”

It was my first time and I didn’t know how to control my power at all. Needless to say, I hit a lot of gutters.

By the way, my brother and Kano san had more sense than me and Suzuno, and they didn’t drop to the gutter at all. Now that I think about it, there was a difference in specs between my brother and me from the time we were children.

With that in mind, we completed the formalities at the reception desk, changed into our special shoes, grabbed the ball, and headed to the lane.

“Ah, that’s right. Just bowling normally is boring, so why don’t we do a challenge?”

“When you compete in bowling, do you feel like you compete for a score?”

“Yeah, so we’ll make it a rule that the winner will ask the loser one request.”

“I don’t have a problem with the game itself, but asking for a favor is a bit……”

I hesitated to nod my head because I had no idea what kind of request Kano san would ask me.

“If Yuito wins, I can set up a special date with Suzuno chan.”

“Eh, really !?”

“But in return, if I win, you’ll have to go out with me tomorrow as you did today.”

“I understand, I’ll do it.”

Lured by the idea of ​​going on a date with Suzuno, I accepted Kano san’s proposal. Even if I lose, Sunday will be ruined, so there shouldn’t be much of a risk. I was ahead of her, so I put my finger in the hole of the ball and threw the ball as hard as I could at the center of the pin. However, the ball went a little to the right, leaving four pins.

On the second throw, I aimed at the left side of the pin, but unfortunately, I could only knock down three pins.

“I guess one pin remained, or maybe it’s because it’s been a while and I’ve been out of the game for a while, but it didn’t go so well.”

“Okay, now it’s my turn.”

Kano san got up from her seat and put her finger in the hole of the ball while listening to my frustrated murmurings. Then she threw the ball with a very beautiful form. The ball rolled straight and hit the center of the pin.

“Oh, it’s all down.”

“Wow, seriously…….:

Kano san was hitting a strike from the very beginning. 

I’m not sure if it’s a fluke or not, but if I keep letting Kano san take the lead, I won’t be able to catch up.

I thought I could close the gap in the score, but to my surprise, Kano san came up with another strike. I was starting to get impatient, but Kano san had a relaxed look on her face.

“……Two strikes in a row, amazing.”

“It’s just pure luck, I haven’t been bowling in a while.”

“W-well, the battle has just begun.”

“Yeah, I’ll be easy”

We continued bowling until we reached the next ten frames and I was completely demoralized.

Even if I land a series of strikes in this frame and Kano san lands a strike on the garter, there is no chance of winning.

“…..Aren’t you too strong?”

“Eh,is that so?”

“I don’t think there are many people who throw most of the balls they throw as strikes and spares.”

Kano san scored an astounding four out of ten frames as strikes, and four frames as spares. She missed only one frame.

It’s not that I’m bad at bowling; in fact, I’m pretty good at it, but it didn’t seem like I could stand up to Kano san at all.

I thought I could beat her at bowling and accepted the match, but I guess I was too naive. Kano san is really good at everything except being extremely tone deaf.

In the end, Kano san won the tenth frame with an overwhelmingly large margin over me by scoring a series of spectacular strikes.

“Let me ask you a favor right away based on the rights of the winner.”

“Well, it’s a promise, after all.”

Kano san said earlier that she would ask me to go out with her tomorrow as well, so she wouldn’t be so unreasonable.

“I’m going to ask you to come along with me on a short overnight trip.”

“…….Eh !?”

“We’re leaving now, so let’s go home for a while so Yuito can get ready for the trip.”

“W-wait a minute. Are you serious?”

“Of course.”

Kano san answered with a big smile, even though I was extremely upset. I take back what I said before, Kano san is about to make a crazy and reckless move.

“…I think it would be a bad idea to stay overnight, although it would be fine for a day trip.”

“Eh, what’s so bad about it?”

“Look, we are a man and a woman of about the same age…”

“I’m like your sister, so there’s nothing wrong with that.”

“My mother would probably object.”

“Oh, I’ve already got her permission then, so don’t worry.”

Kano san refuted me one after another as I tried to stop her somehow. By the way, before I knew it, she had gotten my mother’s permission.

“So, I’m counting on you.”

“……I understand.”

I could only nod my head as Kano san blocked my escape route.
