"I see you've been practicing."
"Yup! My club is going really well."
"I'm glad. Any good talent that you can see?"
"Not yet. Well, there might be this one kid... a freshman. He just joined a few months back."
"Ah, not at the start of the year?"
"Yeah, I think he was afraid. Kimiko-chan says he's no good, but he's shown remarkable improvement in just a short time."
"Ha. Must be practicing a lot too then."
"Certainly. He reminds me a lot of you, actually. I think he's impressed by you, moreso than Touya-san or anyone else."
"Why? Because I'm that much more awesome?"
"You have a bigger ego, that's for sure."
"Hey!"
"I think it's more than that... it's more like, you came from nowhere. You were just a normal kid and shot into the pros in a few years like a rocket."
"Ehehe. I just practiced a lot..."
"Hikaru, if it was just practicing, I'd be a pro by now. Ah..."
"I'm not saying anything."
"You don't have to. I have nothing more."
"Shall we review the game?"
"Yes, please. I'm kind of sad. I have to start studying for the college entrance exams in earnest soon. I won't have time to play as much."
"You're not going to break our Sunday afternoon dates, are you?"
"No, of course not. This is the only time I get to see you some weeks. But the club... Kimiko-chan is going to take over as president next year. So she's starting the duties now so I have more time."
"Akari..."
"I'm going to miss playing every day."
"Well, we'll have to make this most of these few hours then. All right! You started off strong, and your play was really solid until you went for the upper right star. I think that if you had-"
"Wait a moment."
"Hmm?"
"Let's... save the analysis for a little bit later."
"What-? Akari! Wh-what are you doing?"
"I am going to make the most of these few hours in another way, I think."
