And the two boys left.
Once Mika was sure they were gone, he sat down on the ground.
Yuu-chan was lying face down on the ground. He had been hit so hard Mika suddenly feared he might have died, but then–
“… My whole body hurts…” Yuu-chan said. It seemed he was alive after all. Mika smiled and looked at Yuu-chan’s back as he said:
“Jeez, apologize, Yuu-chan.”
Yuu-chan replied without getting up:
“Sorry.”
“I wonder if I can let you get away with a 'sorry’.”
“But they pissed me off.”
“Get pissed at opponents you can actually defeat.”
“Well, you have a point, but…”
Yuu-chan straightened up.
