Akito and Estelle's Summer Wars

chapter 10

Later on, everything was resolved for now and everyone was now watching the baseball game that night.

"Cerise, wake up, it's time for baseball." Forte gently shook his wife awake.

Cherry groaned and slapped the top of his head like he was an alarm clock.

"Cerise, wake up." Forte said.

Cherry turned over, not wanting to deal with him right now.

"Oh, brother." Forte groaned.

'A very chaotic day for Japan to be sure and we're still receiving reports from the various prefectures,' The TV reporters announced. 'Similar problems are reported throughout the world; all caused by the spontaneous generation of accounts and the subsequent system errors that would occur. However, some technology experts remain adamant that the unauthorized use of OZ accounts is technologically impossible. We're pressed to provide anther explanation for OZ's current trouble. It's day ten of this year's Nagano High School Baseball Tournament. A week and a half into the action and we've already seen some players--'

'This going to be intense.' Emi thought to herself.

"Quiet!" Yumi soon yelled out. "We're gonna find out!"

'After an absolute slugfest between Ueda High and Saku Chousei for a slot in tomorrow's finals, a winner finally emerged,' The TV soon announced. 'Congratulations go out to Ueda High!'

"Wahoo!" Emi cheered.

"He allows 30 hits and they win? Amazing!" Yorihiko added.

"You know, when he thinks he's gonna lose, it's written all over his face." Katsuhiko commented.

"Like father, like son." Kunihiko added.

"He sure is an amazing baseball player." Atticus smiled.

"Natsuki, when are your parents getting here?" Mo asked the dark-haired girl.

"Well, Dad's pulling an all-nighter fixing the water pipes and Mom's still in Saitama," Natsuki explained. "She ended up crashing at a business hotel."

"That's nice." Mo smiled.

"Good thing they're okay." Yorihiko added in agreement.

"With what's been going on, it's good to know that their alright." Tony said.

"Y'know, if Granny hadn't called everybody up and raised a little hell, things would've been a lot crazier out there today," Kunihiko commented. "Ain't that right, Granny?"

"Raised a little hell?" Sakae replied. "I don't know what you mean."

"Suuure!" Katsuhiko smirked.

"She sure is tough." Mo said.

"No other grandma's that awesome." Kunihiko replied.

"Best one in Japan!" Katsuhiko added.

"True that." Forte nodded.

Cherry gave him an odd glance for that response.

"Silly boy," Sakae smirked until Kenji and Akito came to see her. "Kenji, Akito, I heard that you two worked especially hard today."

"Huh? Not really, no!" Kenji replied anxiously.

"Maybe a little." Akito smiled sheepishly.

"Natsuki's boyfriend helped out with you, Kito?" Atticus asked.

"He's not her boyfriend!" Shota snapped.

"Apparently they fixed the problem with OZ." Mo said.

"They sure are more advanced than average high school boys." Cherry smirked to her nephew's accomplishment with his new friend.
