In the humble abode of the Nakajimas, there was an unspoken of, long-standing tradition of Sunday being treated with a old-school and distinctly western sensibility. Even despite his own nonreligious stance, Kyotaro Nakajima was still one to respect the day of rest for what it was.

[i][b][color=fff79a]"MESSATSU!"[/color][/b][/i]

[color=a36209]"Oh, that's a load of crap."[/color]

The perfect time for having a day off work and playing some good quality video games, of course!

[color=fff79a]"Oya?"[/color] came the smug, prodding drawl from the blonde seated beside him. [color=fff79a]"[i]Oya Oya Oya[/i]? Do I see it [i]all tied up at 2-2[/i]? Where's all the bravado now, Aniki? Are you possibly i[i]n danger of losing a set to me[/i]?!"[/color]

[color=a36209]"I'm rusty."[/color] growled her legal guardian, responding to her elbow jabs with an increasingly intense glare every time. Uppity little... [color=a36209]"'s just dumb luck and work's been taking all of my practice time."[/color]

Did we say glare? Correction:

[i][color=0072bc]I don't understand how a fully grown adult can pout so petulantly at a video game.[/color]

[color=fff79a]It's a competitive thing! It's just like whenever I get mad about getting passed up in a race![/color][/i]

[color=0072bc][i]Well firstly, you're still a child--[/i][/color]

[color=fff79a][i]I am NOT a kid![/i][/color]

[color=0072bc][i]Yes you are.[/i][/color]

[color=fff79a]"Oho? What was that? Shouldn't you be watching your sodium intake instead of talking, Aniki?!"[/color]

[color=a36209]"[i]I'm not salty because you Raging Demoned me.[/i]"[/color]

[color=fff79a]"I don't believe you~"[/color]

[i][color=0072bc]Even ignoring your legal status as a minor, would an adult rub salt in the wound like this?[/color]

[color=fff79a]Heh, salt. And yeah, they totally would. Watch if he wins, he'll totally reverse it back on me like threefold.[/color]

[color=0072bc]Which goes back to my original point, doesn't it?[/color]

[color=fff79a]Shh, I need to concentrate![/color][/i]

However, instead of concentration, a thought occurred.

[color=fff79a]"Hey, speaking of salt, though."[/color]

[color=a36209]"Yeah?"[/color]

[color=fff79a]"Have you gone shopping this week?"[/color]

[color=a36209]"I though you did that?"[/color]

[color=fff79a]"That was just to grab dinner, not to stock up..."[/color]

Both paused.

...

[color=fff79a]"Craaaaa[/color][color=a36209]aaaaaaap." [/color]

Fifteen minutes later, one energetic girl and her fairy companion were out the door, fighting games forgotten in favor of the search for sustenance.
