Twin Masterpiece (Shiba Tatsuya x COTE world)

Chapter 47: Island Exam 2(II)

Day 4

Tatsuya POV

Just another day at the exam while catching up to Koenji and Nagumo.

Sakayanagi's group already falls behind the 3 of us. Now its just me, Koenji, and Nagumo fighting for first spot.

I've been moving nonstop for the last 4 days. 10 days to go. C'mon, I need to do this.

On my way to the next area, I meet an unexpected guest.

Tatsuya: "Hm?"

Koenji: "How interesting."

Nagumo: "I clearly didn't expect this....."

The 3 top scorers. Me, Nagumo, and Koenji. Meeting at the same spot under the night sky.

Tatsuya: "What a frightening coincidence."

Nagumo: "Now isn't this interesting? the 3 top scorers meeting under the night."

Koenji: "Indeed it is, president kun. Now then, what shall we do? play cards?"

Tatsuya: "Actually, that's not so bad. How about it, senpai? wanna hangout for the night? we spent 4 days nonstop after all."

Nagumo: "Interesting. I'll join in then. How about you, Koenji?"

Koenji: "Fine. I shall grant you my company then."

Tatsuya: "Great."

We then set up our tents, campfire, and begin to grill our foods.

Well, we can say that a truce is happening here.

But...this is kinda awkward....

We just stared blankly at each other.

Tatsuya: "Hey."

Nagumo and Koenji turned to look at me.

Tatsuya: "Wanna play poker?" I said while showing them a deck of card.

Nagumo: "Sure. Koenji?"

Koenji: "Perfectly fine. I'll show Shiba boy who's the real cardmaster right here and now."

Tatsuya: "Not even in your dreams..."

1 hour later....

I ended up winning them all with Nagumo and Koenji switching between 2nd and 3rd place all the time.

Nagumo: "Seriously. Your talent to play cards is frightening."

Koenji: "I hate to admit it but he's literally unbeatable at cards. Well done, Shiba boy."

Tatsuya: "Well thank you. Hearing that from both of you means a lot."

Nagumo: "Care for a swim tomorrow? our scores with Sakayanagi are already far enough. A break for a day would be good don't you think?"

Honestly, when he's not acting like an obsessed enemy he's way better. Too bad he's just that arrogant.

Koenji: "Fine. A little change of pace won't be bad."

Tatsuya: "Sure."

Nagumo: "Then that does it. Tomorrow we're chilling."

Day 5

Kiyotaka POV

I'm currently taking a break from the tasks and doesn't have anything to do. Lina and Nanase are currently missing to I don't know where. But they left their bags with me...

Lina: "We're back!"

Nanase: "Sorry we take too long, Ayanokoji senpai."

Kiyo: "Its fine. So, what are you guys buying?"
