My Listless Twin

5

Kiku met Tanaka at the temple.

"Good morning Tanaka-kun, making a wish?" Kiku said.

Tanaka looked over and not. "I pray for a normal day."

"That's nice, I wish for heavy rain this week."

"Why."

"So someone won't come over."

"I see." The two then went down the step.

"Tanaka, Kiku, morning." Ohta called out the two turned around.

"Morning Ohta." The two said at the same time.

"Praying in the temple, early this morning. You two must be dedicated."

The two nodded "Yeah I guess."

Tanaka went on. "I prayed for an uneventful day, without anyone disrupting my peace . Then I said to the gods, Otherwise, I'll spread had rumors about you to your boss in Izumo."

Kiku nervously chuckle, clearly Tanaka was threating the gods.

"Anyway I have something to ask you two. I can't afford lunch now, so can I borrow some money, I only have 12 yen left."

Did he bride them too?

"I have extra food, don't worry about it Tanaka-kun. " Kiku said.

Tanaka nod, "thanks Kiku. "

The three walked to school still on the topic of Tanaka wish.

"I don't think you need to pray for that, Tanaka, your life is always peaceful." Ohta states.

"Your life can suddenly turn upside-down if you don't stay vigilant. " Tanaka respond. "You can't be too careful."

"What bad thing will happen to you, for example? " Kiku asked.

"Like, suddenly hearing a voice from the sky saying, you are the chosen one."

"I don't think that is going to happen."

"Please make me your apprentice! " A small voice squeak out.

"Or that."

The three pause, and looked at each other as they turned around. No one was there.

"Um, here, I'm here ." The voice said. The three looked down seeing a small girl with bright hazel eyes looking at them in awe. "Tanaka-kun San , please make me your apprentice! " The girl plea.

"No." Tanaka said plainly

"I want to be a mature woman by attending your level of listlessness, Tanaka-kun San ! Please teach me!"

"I have a feeling today will be the all time most tiresome day of my high school life. " He sigh
"Seriously, can you please leave? I don't take apprentice. "

"No worries! I'll endure my training no matter how rigorous. "

Kiku felt like this conversation was like a baseball match, Tanaka threw a soft curve ball while the girl threw a wild pitch.

"Look, I don't need new developments in my life. In other words, I don't want to get involved with new characters. " A strong 4-seam fastball from Tanaka.

"Then,I'll do my best to treat you as an old friend. " This time she threw a knuckleball.

But then again why was Kiku imagining Tanaka playing baseball, if he remember correctly he said that sports take too much energy.

"Miyano. " Ohta said.

'Miyano that's the girl name?' Kiku thought.

"Tanaka actually prayed to the gods today for an uneventful day. Sorry, can you let this go?"

"It's fine Ohta. If it's only for today she can do what she want." Tanaka said.

Kiku smiled. Tanaka can be mature sometime.

"Beside, if I said no she will come back tomorrow, I think it would take more effort to turn her down ."

The girl jump for joy while Tanaka explain the whole idea of listlessness.

Doesn't Tanaka remind you of a cat loving nation? Or is it just Kiku.

Class was distracted by Miyano trying her best to be listless. Kiku sigh, as much as he hate to say this he think that she could give up. With her happy and bubbly personality there is no way she can do a full 360 and become just like Tanaka.
