Another male had joined in the conversation, saying the opposite of what Tanaka had said. He couldn't help but smile, turning towards the man as he nodded. However, the lady didn't take it very well. A dry laugh escaped Tanaka's lips as he watched the young girl walk away. Ah, well, at least he tried. He walked towards Naoki, patting him on the shoulder in a friendly manner. "Well, I suppose it's time for us lowly Yon-dan's to practice, eh?" he cheerfully said as he began to walk towards the dojo.
