Practice makes perfect!

Shino's POV

December 23rd. That was the big day. The Yokohama Christmas eSports Tournament

Which meant we had exactly **less than a week to whip this chaotic excuse of a team into shape.

And by "chaotic," I mean **what kind of team has a mom and an idol playing in a high-stakes tournament?!

I made Haru inform his family and in-game wife so they can know it beforehand.

I hope they agree, especially that Marika. I know 500,000 yen isn't worthy for her (because she can earn it in a week), but PLEASE COOPERATE!

After School - Training Begins

Haru and I trudged home after a long day at school, exhausted but ready to jump into practice. We had barely stepped through the door when we saw Shiori and Marika already lounging on the couch.

"You two sure look relaxed," I muttered, dropping my bag.
