"heeey!...Guys!...Here!" I heard someone's voice from far away,I quickly turned my head and saw Miyuki waving.
"The food is ready,hurry up before it gets cold" She shouted,then I saw Yuji and Houki glaring at me.
"What wrong with you two?" I asked,pulling way.
"Miyuki was too adorable for a cold hearted person like you!" Houki responded.
"Yeah,you should change yourself...for the good!" Yuji added.
"Change,huh?" I thought"After accepting the arranged marriage thing,I already told myself that I'm not going to cross a line. I know I promised to take care of her,but that's all...A person like me,don't deserve to love!" I whimpered to myself,as we reached the cottage,where Miyuki was located.
"Woaahh!... barbeque!" Houki spoked before rushing to the barbeque grill stand.
"Houki idiot!...don't grab everything!" Yuji complained, before grabbing both of his hand.
"Ryu-kun, here!" Miyuki approached me,handing me a barbeques.
"Ahh,Thanks!" I responded before grabbing one.
I'm eating the barbeque as I sit down in the sand,away from the cottage with Miyuki as we watched the others fighting over the food.
"What happened earlier was a mess!" I spoked, starting a conversation with her.
"So dad told you!...about my nee-chan(big sis) I mean." Miyuki responded.
"Yeah,for a father that must be tough!" I replied,before having bite.
"If that's what's bothering you...don't worry...My dad is a strong person" Miyuki responded with a smile.
"Bothering?...It's not that!...I'm just wondering why you're so comfortable around everyone!" I suddenly asked.
"I don't really know but...I feel very safe with you!" She responded as our eyes meet.
"Really?" I reacted.
"Why?" She replied.
"It's just that,every stranger that I met they always tell me that I'm creepy and scary" I said before avoiding the eye contact.
"It's the first time,someone feels comfortable around me... even the first time we met that night... you're not scared at all!" I added.
"I'm kind of used to it!" She responded.
"Used to it?...just what kind of family do you have?" I thought.
"For time we met..huh?" She whimpered.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"Ahh...nothing!" She responded before standing up,facing me.
"It's just feels like... we've met each other a long time ago!" She stated.
"What a coincidence,I feel it too" I thought.
"Guysss! Let's play...volleeeyball!" Miss Ayano suddenly suggested.
"Good idea, Ayano-sensei" Yuji responded as they stand up along with Houki.
"Are you playing,Ryu?" Houki asked me.
"No way,I don't want to!" I shouted back, shutting them off. But in the end, I ended up joining them.
Miss Ayano and Houki vs Me and Yuji,Miyuki didn't want to join "I'm not sporty"she said.Houki forced me to play in her place instead,and the oldman being a referee.
Miss Ayano was about to take a serve and then he hit the ball with full power. The ball vanished from sight, where did it go?.
"Paaak!" The sound of the ball hitting something,as turn my head in my right side.
I saw Yuji on his knees with a nose bleed.
"Yuji!" Houki shouted.
"Playing against a PE teacher!,this is stupid!..no matter how I looked at it " I whimpered.
"It's okay Ryu-senpai, we're going to win...no we need to win" Yuji said.
Yuji seems motivated and I started wondering what happened.
"Knowing these two, they're definitely betting on something...I wonder..." I whimpered to myself.
"Current score 1:0,in favour of team Ayano" The oldman shouted.
"Alright,it's time for a counterattack... Ryu-senpai!" He shouted before hitting the ball for a serve.
As expected Houki received the ball and miss Ayano went for a spike. I quickly run to block the hit but I ended up loosing footing,and hitting the ground instead.
"That's lame!" Yumi whimpered from the other side.
"The sand will make you loose you footing and make it harder to jump or run...be careful" Miss Ayano explained.
"Current score 2:0 in favour of team Ayano" Aizen-san announced the score.
"Put yourself together... Ryu-senpai... we're falling behind..Aho!(idiot)" Yuji shouted at me.
"Give up!...fools, we're going to win!" Houki shouted from the other side.
Houki seems motivated too,seem like they're really betting into something.
"Alright,here I go!" Yuji stated and was about to hit the ball.
"Wait!..." I said, stopping his actions.
"What... senpai? (senior)" He responded.
"Let me handle this!" I said arrogantly.
"As expected senpai... you're really a reliable person" he started praising me.
"Here we go!" I whimpered before throwing the ball upward and jumped.
I smacked the ball as hard as I could,and the ball went flying as far as it can. All of our attention are on the ball as it landed on the sea water.
"What the hell was that?...is that even a serve?" Yuji shouted as I remained silent,Yumi and Miyuki started laughing at me.
Honestly I actually bad at sports,I envy those who are good at it.
[A few moments later]
Of course we lost, the final score is 15-0. It's disappointing and fun at the same time.
But Yuji is even more disappointed than me,I can even see the tears that he's been holding back in his eyes.
"Sorry for getting your hopes up,Yuji-kun" I spoked.
"You're so mean senpai!,you should've told me..that you're not good at it" he said with teary eyes.
"Is he seriously going to cry?...what are you...a kid?" I whimpered.
"But Houki already know,how bad I am at sports. If their betting into something, then Houki definitely planned me to team up with him so that he can win..." I thought as I watched Houki rejoiced.
"Yuji, the promise!.." Houki shouted before running in the cottage grab some drinks.
"Promise?...I wonder what's happening?" I thought as I turned my head to Yuji to check on him.
"Ryu-senpaaaaai!....do you you know what you've done?" He grumbled,with angry expression.
"Beats me,I have no idea!" I responded.
"So there betting about something, after all" I thought.
"You've got no Idea whot you've done!" He grumbled again.
"Yuji-kun,stop repeating yourself!" I responded as he pulled me away from everyone for privacy.
"That bastard!" He said, heavily panting.
"Bastard?...you mean Houki!" I said.
"He's planning of confessing tonight!" Yuji responded.
"[Shocked face intensifies]"
"Whaaaat?...why you didn't tell me earlier...you idiot!" I responded.
"So that's what's going on" I added "but that unexpected coming from him"
"That idiot... he's going to get turned down!" Yuji responded.
"What have I done?" I thought.
"What should we do, senpai?" Yuji asked.
"Go ahead and pick up the equipment... we're going to make our move" I whimpered.
"Don't tell me... we're going to... assassinate Miss Ayano!?" His weird response.
"Of course not,you idiot!" I shouted.
"We're stopping the confession!" I responded.
"We're going to do the O.U.V" I explained.
"O.U.V?" Yuji asked in confusion.
"Operation Unmotivated Virgin" I explained with a serious look on my face.
