Ichi man yen. Ichi man yen. Wooo! Perfect! What a booty this Christmas. I can't even pinpoint what to buy. Have to focus. Too much demands. I have to pick one. I don't know what I want to shop this Christmas. I'm a little confused.

It would be a bad idea to shop today though. One: most of the malls are closed. Two: if there is a mall open today, it'd be probably crowded. Three: I can wait for tomorrow. Four: As I've mentioned earlier, I have no clear cut what to buy yet. Canvassing would help. I'll ask Kano to go with me. She'd certainly tag along. She also received cash from her aunties and uncles. I guess I'll have to wait for tomorrow. For the meantime, Merry Christmas!

"Tsukino-oneesan, how much did you loot this Christmas?"

"Loot? Come on, Kano, be more sensible. I have Ichi man yen."

"10000 yen you say. Good for you." sounds like a challenge. "I have ni man yen."

"20000 Yen?! Cheater! Pirate! How could you?! It's Christmas! There's still favoritism in our society? I thought it's already extinct."

My leg's throbbing in pain again. I can still walk, but the mild pain is irritating. I can't think straight for so long that I have to raise my leg a little and settle it down to make feel fine again. There's a need for a constant refresh.

It has just been three days. I think It'll gradually go away. If my twinge keeps up, I'll let the others know.

What do I do? Yukino-oneechan is at Maho-san' house for their school project. I need help! Dad can't help because he's working on his proposal paper. Mom can't help because she's sick! Kano has no idea on my project. I'm all alone! I- I don't know anything about Karl Marx and Politics! Politics makes me naseous.

No no no. This is not happening. I have to finish this writeup before tomorrow! I know! Asaba-san! It's not too late to ask for help. Awwww, but it's embarrassing! I can't think of anything. That's it!

"To the telephone!" whoosh.

Totally unforgettable. On my way home, I came across Arima-oniichan after watching my friend's tennis game.

"Tsukino! Over here!" step by step, I slowly approached him. "You're playing tennis again?"

"N... Not really. I was just wanted to try my playing outfit again."

"Oh, I'm sorry. But, if you're going to play, please tell me, so that I could watch the sugoi Tsukino in action. I'm really really looking forward to watch you play. I think it would be amazing don't you think?"

"Mm... you bet!"

Little by litte, I will pull myself together and play again. I'll make sure to make this injury go away as quickly as possible. It's a promise.
