Chapter 28: It Ain't Stupid if it Works!

♣️♠️♥️♦️

"Edwards-san..."

"Are you okay?"

"What happened to you?"

"You look..."

"Like hell!"

"That's the understatement of the century," Tamara said to her friends as soon as she sat with them for lunch and drinks her martini.

Tamara has not been getting enough sleep ever since she lost all of her cards. She doesn't even bother to report it to the police since it would probably put her in trouble.

She was speeding in the expressway a couple of days ago and didn't wear a helmet that night. If she reported it to the cops, they would probably recognize her and lock her up. Also, she doesn't want her former guardian back in the US to know that she screwed up. It's most likely that they'll travel all the way to the Land of the Rising Sun just to scold her and reprimand her.

Being told what to do and getting a whole lecture about it is one of the things she hates to the core. She's stubborn as hell and prefers to do things her own way.

"That's new. Are you that broke enough to just eat 'that' for lunch?" Mary joked and pointed at Tamara's lunch. She's only eating a bag of potato chips for lunch and not her usual salad and peanut butter and blueberry sandwich.

"I've been missing the US for a while now since I started eating my go-to lunch back then. You want some?" she offered.

"No wonder most of you people are obese," Mary commented and continues eating her food.

"Well then, suit yourself."

The truth is, she really is broke. She lost her wallet and can't do anything about it. She doesn't have any hidden money too and had been living with only leftovers for a couple of days now.

"I forgot to tell you, Edwards-senpai. Yumemi's show with you got viral!" Itsuki mentioned

"Really?!"

"Here! Look!" Itsuki shows her phone to everyone.

On her phone, Tamara's performance of Galactic Mermaid with her guest group is playing. They censored a lot of words due to its lyrics that are full of English profanity.

"That sounds like my father's fucking heart monitor on his deathbed," she laughed. She grabs a huge chunk of potato chips and shoves it into her mouth. Her friends look at her because of her joke. "What?"

"Uh... Tammy-san," Ryota called her. "W-why did you choose to sing a song like that?"

"Well, Yumeko 'did' advised me to sing a song close to my heart, about who I am," Tamara answered. "So I chose that wonderful song from the anime Carole and Tuesday."

"Then I find people who cosplay and sing like the Mermaid Sisters to settle things up!" she added. "Also, I have been thinking about how I can defeat an idol like Yutani when I'm playing against her in her own homecourt..."

"I deduced that her fans will absolutely cheer for her so I think of a plan to use it against her," she explained. "Then an idea pops up in my brilliant mind!"

"The singing grading app can't accurately grade a song if the background is noisy, doesn't it?" she asked and pointed to her left temple.

"Big brain move coming from a genius like me, don't you think? Hm? Hm?" she nagged Mary. She keeps kicking the blonde-haired girl's foot underneath the table.

"More like a stupid move," Mary argued. "You're just two points ahead of her."

"It ain't stupid if it works!" Tamara refuted.
