“Are you sure you’re up to this, Jill?” Juni asked me as I stepped to my side of the court, topless and proudly showing off the girls to anyone who cared to look. The one paying the most attention to them was Juni herself. “And by the way, why… why are you…? And why is everyone naked?”
It wasn’t that Juni had just noticed, she just had not had the chance to speak to someone because she was kind of alienated ever since she decided to keep her clothes on.
“Actually, you’re the odd one out here, Juni. We should be asking YOU why you are still wearing your clothes!” I turned it on her.
“That’s a dumb question! Okay, be that way. Let’s start this dumb game,” she was finally pumped up. I needed her that way, but this was going to be mine.
Juni was distracted, I was in great shape and this was not despite my talk with Lady but because of it. I had an extra week of memories of training and practicing against Juni, and I had had the experience to face the impossibly fast and agile Aria. To be honest it was tempting to see if I could defeat Juni without having to resort to mind games… but just to be sure I would use those too if she ever got over 15 or so points ahead of me. Juni looked very uncomfortable in those clothes while the rest of us were having a happy, grand time.
