Choice 2/5 – Hang Out With Peko

Hajime Hinata:

Hi Peko. Are you free today?

Peko Pekoyama:

I was planning on doing some light training today, so I do not mind if you join me or not.

Hajime Hinata:

Light training, eh? That sounds good! I could use some exercise.

Peko Pekoyama:

If you insist. Then let's go.

Hajime Hinata:

Huh? Where?

Peko Pekoyama:

We will go for a short run around the island five times.

Hajime Hinata:

F-Five times?!

Peko Pekoyama:

But of course. Come on. Let's go.

Hajime Hinata:

H-Hey Peko. Would it be okay if we just talked instead?

Peko Pekoyama:

...

I guess that would be okay. I will just catch up tomorrow by running the island 10 or 20 times.

Hajime Hinata:

My God she's determined.

So Peko. What should we talk about?

Peko Pekoyama:

What is it that you would like to talk about?

Hajime Hinata:

Oh, I hadn't actually thought this far.

Uh... how about... swords?

Peko Pekoyama:

You are saying that you are interested in sword fighting?

Hajime Hinata:

Y-Yeah I guess. I've never really had much experience with swords. I haven't even held one before.

Peko Pekoyama:

Then... If you would like, I will allow you to see my bamboo sword.

Hajime Hinata:

W-Wow. Really?

I hadn't really seen a proper bamboo sword up close so I was genuinely interested.

She pulled out her sword and held it in front of me.

Woah... It looks so authentic.

Peko Pekoyama:

But of course. It was carved by hand by my family when I was a very young child.

Hajime Hinata:

When she was really young, eh?

Did your family members do kendo as well?

Peko Pekoyama:

Not... quite. My caretakers provided me with this sword as... a way of protection.

Hajime Hinata:

Huh? Were you in a position in which you needed to protect yourself that badly?

Peko Pekoyama:

No. This sword was not created for me to protect myself. But rather, to protect my...

No... It is not important.

Hajime Hinata:

U-Uh. I understand.

I guess she isn't exactly comfortable with divulging her past. Maybe next time if I talk to her, she'll be more open to me.

Peko Pekoyama:

It is beginning to get late. Perhaps we should return.

Hajime Hinata:

Y-Yeah you're right.

Peko Pekoyama:

Anyways, thank you for spending time with me today. If you would like to, you do not need to hesitate in approaching me again in the future.

Hajime Hinata:

Of course. I'll see you later.

I guess that means that she doesn't mind talking again.
