Eri's Daily Studies

| Weekend afternoon ~ Teto's house...

''Oh my! -Ohh my! -Ohhh! . . .Soon, HE will be at our doorstep..... '' Teto uttered wildly.

((Ring and knock))

''Yo! Your pal Gotoh has touched down.'' He loudly stated.

Teto said with relief, ''Hello~ Good to see, you made it. *Deep sighs* Well, are you set for our upcoming plans?''

With spirit, he replied, ''You bet I am. Let's get this fun started.''

| Minutes later - Teto's room...

Game voices shout, ''Cluckobo Raising!!!''

Puzzled, Teto asked, ''Oh -my! Gotoh? Please, could you explain how this game is played?''

Smugly, he replied, ''Here's the down-low! In Cluckobo Raising, we raise these rad birds called Cluckobos. Doing stuff like -naming, feeding, cleaning, and something else_

But don't you worry about it. All will be revealed_ soon___ ''

She replied, ''Reveal -what???''

*Starts*

Gotoh stated, ''My bird will be hot yellow, and his name? 'Natsu' sounds allright. How are things working out for you?''

Captivated, she exclaimed, ''Ahw! The birds, they're so lovely! We cannot handle ITTT! Red! Brown. Pink. What do we do??? AhwWhawh-wh-wha-''

| After that~

Sighing, she said, ''Our bird.. shall be orange. And its name? 'Ai' will be well and good.''1

*Birds hatch healthily*

She timidly thought, 'Owr! Even as Fledglings, they're so charming.'

Gotoh said, ''IT'S suppertime for the birds! By the looks of things, our bird friends` favorite thing is.. carrots?''

Teto exclaimed with wonder, ''C-Carrots?''

| Following the caring scenes~

Excitedly, Gotoh said, ''Ohw-ow boy!, Just look at that! Your cluckobo grew up, much better`er than mine.''

In awe, she asked, ''You think so~''

Gasping, he remarked, ''With our Cluckobo's grown to teen-hood, that means they're ready.''

Teto asked, ''r-rready?''

Gleefully, he blurts, ''Cluckobo Racing.''

🔹 🔹 🔹

Flustered, she replied, ''Racing -w-wai-whaaat?''

He reexplains, ''Here's the run down; When our bird pals turn teens, you can get them to race-the-track. -We can figure out why -the bird crossed the road!''

Anxiously, Teto spouted, ''B-b-but. We've don't know how to race!''

Happily, he affirmed, ''Don't worry. I'll help you change that tune, and soon enough_ You'll be a racer pro, with Gotoh by your side.''

Sparklily, Teto elatedly asked, ''Did you say just now... 'you'll be by our side'?''

| In Teto's mind~dream

(On his white horse, he said with a open palm, ''Teto. I'll always be by your side~'')

(Teto dreamily shouted, ''Please, take us with you!'')

In reality, Gotoh yelled, ''eto! Teto! Yo, -Teto! You doing alright!?''

Dazedly, she uttered, ''uh, hrh? Huh??? *Blinks* What were we-?''

Relaxed, he relayed, ''You pulled a 'Eri' just now. Did you catch her weirdo`ness?''

Shamed, she asked, ''We spaced out? Ahw! Please forget that----''

*Unnatural belly rumbles*

Feeling his stomach, he said, ''Ohw-yea! My belly is `grhangry.''1

Densely, she reacted, ''`Gr^hangry? hAngry-*Grins* hAh!-Hahhah-ah`ah-Hahhah! ahAha!''

| 2ish Minutes after~

Too contently, Teto explained, ''We presumed you might get hungry, so w-we... *reaches in fridge* tried our hands at rice balls.. ''

Amused, Gotoh remarked, ''Say what??! You made rice ball-a-alls??! This, I gotta taste to believe it.''

*Slimly Chomps*

Nervous, she asked, ''How.. is it?''

. . .

Mind-blown, he thought, 'This taste~ I know this taste. From.. that rice-ball home-ec day! *revitalized* Its` that weird flavor, that reminded me of mom!''

Loudly, he stated, ''-I like these balls! *Swallows* Your rice balls, are coollright! *bites again*''

She replied with a gladdened face, ''You do..? We're so relieved.''

Blown back by her happiness, he thought, 'She's... Why does she look so__ cute like that? Uhrm? Pause that thought- Cute? It is me or... has she always looked that pretty?'

Anxiously, she thought, 'Why does he keep gazing back at us, like that? Does he want us to say something~?'

Wildly, he asked himself, 'What's with my face! Out of nowhere, my face feels hot like a oven! What's with--''
