"Yeah, maybe."
"Well, I'm off for now."
"No, wait."
He called out to me before I could move.
Tani-kun said with a strangely stiff smile, "Fukube, will you be participating
in other tournaments as well?"
"...Yeah."
As I nodded, Tani-kun raised his right arm and pointed his finger at me.
"I won't lose to you next time. It's not over since we only drew this time.
We'll settle this!"
...I was at a loss for words.
Together with the silence, I could only give him my usual smile as a reply.
Tani-kun looked quite satisfied as he said, "Good. What will you be
participating tomorrow?"
Without giving it much thought, I replied in a normal manner, "...The
tournament held by The Cooking Club tomorrow, I guess?"
"Okay, then we'll settle this tomorrow! I'm looking forward to this!"
Tani-kun waved his arms and left looking rather excited.
Phew, that sure was a hard to deal with fellow there.
