Friday

6 days have passed from this month. Tama has been learning her lessons from her tutorial teacher very well, her personality is now well positively adjusted and less the same.

She greets Daniel, showing him that she got a high grade in her tests.

Tama: Daniel!... I got high grades in my studies, and improved my handwriting! I finally got to make my mom and dad happy at last!
Daniel: Heh. Good for you, but still you got more to learn than average.
Tama: Come on, cut that grumpy attitude out. I'm not that inexperienced, you know! You kind of reminded me of my dad in the past.
Daniel: Stop it, I ain't someone as that.
Tama: Give me a break... And what's with that old outfit of yours? You should be wearing something new! Come on, let's get going!
Daniel: Hey, don't pull me so hard, I just took a short wash!

They go into a clothing store located in a shopping mall. His family is with him.

Daniel is done dressing up to his new formal outfit. Tama is amazed to see his new attire.

Shop Cashier (Female): We're done, how does he look?
Tama: Thank you, he looks so cool! You look cool in that outfit, Daniel!

Daniel is a bit unflawed, but smiles a little.

Daniel: Heh. Quite cheerful and young at heart. How much it cost, ma'am?
Shop Cashier (Female): 650 pesos.

Daniel gives the payment to the cashier.

Daniel: *sigh* Good grief..
Shop Cashier (Female): Thank you. Have a nice day.
Daniel: We're leaving.
Tama: We still have time before we go home. Come on, let's go to the amusement center arcades!
Daniel: Oh. I almost forgot about that.

They leave the store. Koyuki and Ako are watching them.

Koyuki: Haha, she's doting and getting attached to him.
Ako: *giggle* That's what friendship and relationship does.

In the amusement center, Tama along with Ako and Koyuki are playing the crane prize arcade. Daniel and Johann are seen playing a rail-shooter arcade.

"Time Crisis II"

Johann: Hey, hey, watch it. Red one, red one.
Jendrix: Yo, Daniel. Shoot the guy at the top!

*in-game voice laughing*

Jendrix: That guy! Get him!
Daniel: Shut up... Shut up!

Daniel hits the tuxedo man, but loses his last life.

*in-game scream pain*
*game hit sound*

Game Voice: Continue?
Daniel: Wha--?! No, no... No!

Daniel: Damn it, I hate this overpriced stupid, Son of a *****. Spent my last token..
Johann: Too bad. You just had 4 tokens, at least try to have 10 of them. You beat the game with 10, remember?
Daniel: Yeah, I did that a few times already.

He goes away from the arcade machine to see Tama, seeing her holding a puppy plushie.

Daniel: Hey there, Tama.
Tama: I've won a puppy plushie. Cute, isn't it?
Daniel: Yes. It sure does like you are.
Koyuki: Oh, dear. You're blushing, aren't you? *giggle*
Daniel: No, I ain't. I'm just normal as I was.

His grandparents call him, as it is time to go home. They leave the shopping mall, as they walk outside.

Rodolfo: (Son, it's time to go home.)
Daniel: (Coming.)

...

Daniel: Tama, have you and the others learned how to speak English and Filipino language?
Tama: We were, thanks to Koyuki's guidebooks to speak other language that she brought from the store. I also learned and improve my handwriting in Kitakana, Hiragana, and Nippongo for the full Japanese language.
Daniel: Good. Now that's the way we do it.
Tama: I've learned how to keep myself clear of everything trying to stop me, and make it meaningless.
Daniel: Huh? That's how a soldier does that in the battlefield when it comes to the fighting. Where did you learn that?
Tama: I've been reading some books and magazines with them.
Koyuki: And we watched some action movies with Kano. It was a few days ago.
Daniel: Wow, I never knew about that.
