I think he's okay too. I haven't seen him, though. He dragged us into the toy store to get himself a toy gun, though. Not sure what that's about, considering I told him a bat would be way more useful for defending himself.

A toy gun? Perhaps he just wanted something that would keep the creatures at bay.

Probably, but the projectiles are tiny and those things aren't exactly made for precision. If he wanted something ranged, he would've been better off with a bucket of tennis balls or something. At least those aren't made of something squishy.

Hm...Well, I'm sure he had his reasons. Perhaps a bucket of tennis balls (By the way, what is tennis?) was too bulky to carry?

Ah, probably that. Still. I know he's not big on the whole fighting thing, but seriously... a bat would've been so much more practical.

Anyway! Tennis is a sport! It's usually played between two people, or four people on two teams. Each person has a racket that looks like this:

[He's drawn a picture--lol I'm lazy. XD;]

And they hit a tennis ball back and forth over a net. The ball is bouncy and is about the size of your fist.

Perhaps, but we cannot make the weapons choices for our friends. Yamanami-san preferred an abacus to his actual swords, you know.

Oh~ I see. That sounds rather interesting! Can you play tennis?

Really...? Woah, I think I'd probably be laughed at for suggesting that one in class...

Eh... sort of? I mean, as a detective I need to be versed in a lot of stuff, but I'm not really good at it or anything.

No one ever expects an abacus. It's a lovely weapon. Very sturdy - makes a funny sound when you hit someone in the neck with it though.

Hm~ Think you could show me sometime? Good or bad, I wouldn't know the difference.

I would think so... though you're right. 'Don't move, I have an abacus' isn't exactly a line you hear very often.

Sure, maybe there's some equipment in the activities shed. I could play against a wall so you get the basic idea.

Ingenius, don't you think?

Alright! I'd very much like to see you play sometime~♥ I like learning new games.

You'd probably be good at it! It requires strength and reflexes.

...you'd probably kick my ass at it, actually...

...you think so? But I've never played before. And your reflexes are just as good as mine, you know.

You're waaaay faster than me, admit it!

Perhaps, but speed will not always win a battle.

Well, maybe it's the same with tennis... but from what I've seen, speed and reflexes are everything in that game.

Then you'll definitely have to teach me. I could be champion if I took it back to my time.

If only because no one else will know how to play.
