"I really appreciate your help, Sakurahime." It was the 3rd day since Shiraishi stopped implementing the 'do whatever you want as long as you win' movement and replaced it with the 'You are free to skip practice, just don't get caught by the Manager' movement. It was also the 3rd day of Chinami joining the team as a manager before deciding to join them officially.  So far, it was working well since the non-regulars were showing better results than last time.  

"No problem, Buchou." Chinami started slapping her other hand lightly with the paper fan, "With this, no one will dare to skip practice again." 

"Where did you get such a thing from anyway? It looks well made..." 

"I made it myself. See the grip here on the handle? This...I can grip it with all my strength and go for the kill." 

"I can see and feel that. You know, I didn't think I would see eyes to eye with you in the end."

"Me neither, I just thought you were some dumbass who actually believe your own arm is poisoned." 

"Hey, you better keep that a secret from Kin-chan." 

"Whatever." 

"Hey, that Chitose has been coming to practice a lot too since we implemented the new plan. I expected him to wander about." 

"Well..." 

Chinami was dragging the bodies of the non-regulars with a large net that fisherman uses when they're out at sea. Chinami was whistling a tune, satisfied with the catch. 

"Chitose-senpai, you're behind that building. You better step out of there yourself before I knock your head off." She heard the sound of his steps from his geta sandals.

"Ah..." Chitose came out with a sheepish look, "How did you know I was back there?" 

"Just a feeling." He will stop wearing the sandals if she were to tell him the truth. For now, she will keep her mouth shut about it so it will be easier for her to find him if he dared to wander off during club activities.

"If I willingly go with you, will you not hit me?" 

"Well, since you're coming willingly, I won't hit you." 

"Good kid, good kid." He found the height difference between them to be rather cute, it felt nice patting her on the head. 

'Chitose-senpai is so brave!' The non-regulars all thought at once. 

"Here, give me hand." Chitose's joke wasn't so funny for Chinami at all. 

"You dare treat me like a dog?!" She slapped Chitose with the paper fan, letting him have a taste of the hit. 

"Ouch! I'm sorry!" 

"I only hit them if they run away from me. If they come willingly, I won't hit them." Chinami found it funny just thinking about that memory from a few days ago. 

Shiraishi forced out a chuckle, unable to understand how she can find that funny. 

"You should head to the courts, I still have to collect the towels from the club room." 

"I'll see you later." He doesn't like her hits but he found her quite nice if you try and make an effort to talk to her.

"Um, Buchou?"

"Yes?" 

"Uh...never mind." 

"...okay." What was that all about? Did she want to ask him something?
