9th Star: Who Killed the Circus?

11:00 am Training Studio
"Hiichan, what's your plan for today? We just finished our practice." Nonchan asked. "Hmmmm, nothing much." I replied nonchalantly. "Well, me and the others are going to a newly opened amusement park. We heard that it has its own Circus inside." Nonchan waved the tickets. "We thought all of us should go. Plus your Ke-chan." She added. "Oh, that. I ummmm. I'll call him then." I picked up my phone. I dialed Ke-chan's number. *phone rings* "Hello, Ka-chan?" "Ke-chan, we're going to an amusement park. We would like you to come with us." "Oh, sure, I can go. But is it ok for a guy to be with you?" "Of course Ke-chan, actually, the girls just told me they have tickets already and they want you to come with us." "I'll be there then Ka-chan." "We'll going to wait for you at the entrance. I'll message you the address." Thanks Ka-chan, I'll head out now." Yes! Ke-chan will be going too. I just can't stop smiling after our conversation. I know it's simple and straightforward but going to an amusement park with Ke-chan is exciting. "Monya, you think Hiichan is a little too excited?" "I suppose she is Kae-chan, Shino?" "I think so too. We can't let her have all the fun. Right Non-chan?" "Of course!" I heard the girls' conversation and I feel it's not going to end well. "You girls..... Are you all planning something?" I asked them. "OF COURSE NOTHING." They all say in unison.

......

Going to an amusement with them huh? Well I do want to hangout with them a lot more, so why would I let the chance pass by? *Bzzzt* My phone vibrated. "(✓=w=)✓ check the attachment Ke-chan, I sent pictures of the address and the gate of the amusement park." Hiroka does work fast. "Thanks. I'm on my way." I stand up at a cafe I was hanging out and sent a reply. Guess I'll be on an adventure.

1:00 pm Park Entrance
I already noticed the girls in front of the park but it seems they're actually got surrounded by fans. It's not a whole lot but it still kept them busy. Taking photos with the fans, they haven't noticed me yet. I joined the crowd for the mean time and also took some photos of them. When the crowd was satisfied with their unexpected meet and greet, they peacefully disband. I was left alone in front of the girls. "Eh?! You were there all along?!" The girls said in unison. "I just can't stop myself in joining in. I can't really say that I'm with you all." I replied." It might cause an uproar with the fans if they saw a man getting close with them. I shrugged. "Kyaaaaaah!!! Uwaaaaah!!!" They had a bitter smile but was pumped back into their hype after they heard the screams of the people inside. "Everyone, let's go already!" Nozomi shouted. "Oh!!" We replied.

It was a sunny day but the wind is blowing so it's not that hot. Before they actually went inside the amusement park, they changed their outfit and hair style so at least they won't get recognized easily. But seriously, I think that won't really work. But it was their idea so I'm fine with it. Walking around, I can clearly notice the volume of people inside the park. There's a variety of stalls for food and games in the walk lane and I could notice the lines are quite long for the rides. But those that are a bit scary for everyone has less people lined up. First off, we decided to try out the booth games before the rides. And when I say we'll try the games, the girls would make me play and win the prize they want. "Ke-kun, I want that big teddy bear prize, can you get it for me?" Shino suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me on a ball throwing stall. It has a 9 standing pins stacked like the pyramid. And you have to knock down 3 sets to get the prize. Also, you only have 3 balls, meaning you have to knock all 3 sets with one ball each. "Hey there fella. Wanna try and win for the lady?" The stall attendant asked. I wryly smile but nodded. "Ok then! That's one hundred yen per three balls." The attendant priced. But before I even reached my wallet, Shino zoomed her hand and paid the fee. "I got it Ke-kun." Shino winked. Seriously, what's going on. On the side, I feel a deadly glare. Oh dear. "Here, let's test your skills young man." The attendant challenged. I simply smiled and the attendant stepped aside. I aimed on the first set. "Humph!" I grunted a little as I throw the ball. All saw that the ball flew lower and will miss the target. Everyone seems displeased but that suddenly change. with a loud *tong* the ball hits the stand that has the pins and the whole set fall off the stand. Even the stand toppled. The attendant's face went from a grin into shocked. Even the girls went confused but cheered afterwards. "Yeeeey Ke-kun! Get that bear for me!." Shino is easily the loudest among them. Seeing five cute girls cheering for a guy can get easily noticed. Just a few moment, there's a crowd behind me. 'Seriously, this is just a game.' I thought to myself. "Humph! Hya!" I throw the two other ball consecutively and hit the stands and has the same result as the first one. The whole crowd cheered and the attendant was in total shock. Seeing his reaction, I can tell this game is rigged. I wryly smile. "Hey mister, I believe I won the big bear." I told the attendant. "Heh? Oh!" Finally snapping back to reality, the attendant went and hand me the grand prize. "Thanks!" I turned around and gave the bear to Shino. "Waaaah! You did it!" Suddenly, Shino hugged me but the bear is in between. Seriously, I can really sence a bad aura. "Thanks a lot Ke-kun!" "You're welcome Shino-san." Shino then stepped away and looked at me. "Don't use any honorifics." She pouted. "Uhhhhn, ok Shino." I replied. "More like it!" Shino smiled.
