Furin? Oh right, he mentioned that earlier.
I texted him back to ask what time the fight starts.
Togame: The fight should start by 12:00. You can come over after lunch.
Ruby: Got it! I'll inform my boss that I'll be leaving early today. See you there, and good luck!
Togame: Ah, it's going to be a breeze. I'm way out of that little punk's league. You'll see.
Ruby: Seriously? This is so ridiculous. Why do you guys even need to fight? Grow up.
Togame: Oh, is someone jealous that I'm spending time with others? ;)
Ruby: Knock it off! Don't twist this. See you later. Bye!
Togame: Haha! Later, Darling! ;)
I check the time; it's 10:30 AM. I inform my boss that I'll be leaving early and wait patiently.
A few hours go by, and I'm so engrossed in my work that I completely forget about the fight.
When I finally look at the time again, it's 2:00 PM. Oh shit! I'm late. I quickly wrap up and head to the Shishitoren base.
I park my car a little further away from the abandoned theater and walk toward the building. The sky looks ominous, like it's about to rain.
I push open the glass door, only to find another door ahead of me. I slightly open it, peeking through, I see Togame and his opponent just about to start their fight. Phew, I'm not late. I notice they're exchanging words. I glance at his opponent; his hair color stands out.
Oh gosh! In his monk clothes again? How can he fight wearing that? No way, those wooden sandals too? Sheesh!
I open the door fully, and the crowd is cheering, shouting, and chanting Togame's name. It's pretty loud here, so I cover my ears. The crowd has moved closer to the stage to get a better look at the match, leaving me standing alone at the back. Not wanting to be spotted, I stand in the corner.
I recognize the Furin uniform and see the guys sitting in the front row.
Ah, Choji? Sitting by himself? Where are the others? I spot someone lying flat on the floor. Huh? What's that about? Unsure of what to think, I ignore it.Suddenly, the Furin guy throws the first blow, and Togame charges at him.
I stood frozen, my mouth agape. What is happening? This looks serious.
They fight like maniacs, moving too fast for my eyes to follow.
The next thing I notice, the Furin guy slams Togame on the back.
