Everyone had gathered on the couch in the living room buzzing with nerves and excitement.
"Alright everyone, settle down now."
"Let's see the results, Ken-Ken~!"
Miyuki places a hand on Ryo's back.
"It's alright Ryo-Chin, hold on!"
Nayuta sits silently with his arms crossed.
"Alright, let's look at the website."
Kenta turns on the laptop in front of them.
"Aww... and I really wanted them to do well..."
"This competition is pretty brutal..."
"Be sensitive Reon, remember Apple?"
Reon looks down, a little disappointed in himself.
"Wow, FantĂ´me Iris is third?"
"I was hoping they'd do a little better..."
Nayuta taps his finger repeatedly on his arm, trying to steel his nerves.
"Argonavis is second...?"
Kenta chuckles to himself.
Reon and Miyuki high five.
"I can feel my sins decreasing, I am one step closer to returning to my home planet!"
"Congratulations everyone."
Miyuki stands up proudly.
"Time to celebrate! Oi, Kenta-San! Break out the good stuff!"
"You know that most of us can't drink!"
"Don't worry, we have some soda drinks in the fridge. Care to stay around, Nayuta?"
Nayuta gets up and stuffs his hands into his pockets, turning to leave.
"I'm going back to work."
"Don't you want to celebrate, Nayuta?"
"We may have won the battle but we ain't won the war."
"Come on, just one coffee with us won't hurt."
Nayuta pauses for a moment.
He turns around and joins the others.
((Wooooo!!! Our boys got first place! Sorry for not posting this yesterday, my mental health wasn't at its best. But we're here now! Let's celebrate!))
