I had a lovely birthday on the weekend. It continues to be strange to be celebrating without my family, but I had a very fun night out regardless. Thank you Eishirou and Yuujirou for coming drinking with me, even if it didn't end in the best of ways.

~~I'm keeping the footage of Eishirou at KFC forever.~~

I think my favourite present was the snuggie I got from my sister, to help me stay warm for the end of winter. Maybe one day I'll acclimatise to Tokyo.

I've been needing to get out more, before semester starts again and I have less of a social life. I went to the Sumida Aquarium earlier this week - a lovely date spot, if anyone needed ideas. I've also been frequenting various cake shops around the city.

Just a few weeks of freedom left.

Cake shops!

Happy belated birthday.

They've been quite delicious.

Thank you, Marui-kun.

Have you been to Nicolas House?!

Ah, yes I went back in high school. It's closed now though, isn't it?

THEY CLOSED DOWN? Σ(･口･)

Yes, a bit over a year ago. Did you ever manage to go?

Oh.... that's sad. (☍﹏⁰)｡ I didn't know. I was away. I did go before tho. It was so cute, the whole bunny thing. (T⌓T)

That's always the way. I feel like I miss a lot at home when I'm here.

It was very cute. A nice place for relaxing as well.

Don't you visit often? It is a bit expensive I imagine.

RIGHT? Some cake and dessert shops that you can sit in to eat tend to be a little too much like a posh restaurant. I just want a lot of delicious cake, I don't need a tiny spot of cake with a Jackson Pollock art around it make of sauce that costs 5000en.

My family pays for the plane tickets, so I can visit fairly regularly.

Well, if I'm going to places like that, I'm paying for the experience, not so much the cake. Although they're always very nice as well.

That solves that issue~

They tend to have really good chefs, but I can't afford them. I need more than just a little but of cake. I could buy boxes of cream puffs with that money. Why have you visiting cake shops?

It does help, yes.

It really does depend on what you're going for and what you're in the mood for. Sometimes I want a whole cake delivered, and sometimes I want something beautifully presented and delicious.

I've had an excess of free time. I'm usually so busy with university, I decided I needed a new hobby for the holidays.

What kinda cake do you like? What's your favourite?

Best hobby in my opinion~ I've been in it for maybe 15 years and it never let me down. (b^_^)b

My default go to is strawberry shortcake. But I always try the interesting looking limited edition ones, just in case.

Just have to watch the waist line.

OH! I make a really good one, you can ask Akaya. I'll save you some next time I make it.

Hmmmmmm.... lots of water, tennis and gym. There is always the D word (_　_|||)...

Oh how generous. Do I need to give you something in return?

... I suspect we may be thinking about different words starting with D. Unless you have a particular aversion to sex?

Nope ~ I'm used to just... feeding people. I have two little brothers and very busy parents, so growing up I looked after them, cooking, baking... I like it. Besides, I couldn't possibly eat all the cake I bake.

( p_q) .... NOT THAT D! Diabetes <---

Fair enough. I only recently had to learn how to cook, it's certainly been an experience.

Oh. Well that's slightly more clear. Although you do burn calories from sex.

It has to happen eventually. Don't you like it?

I always day 'D' word meaning diabetes, maybe I should be more careful. It's kinda an exercise too, but not like tennis. You probably burn a lot more with tennis.

Not particularly. I don't really enjoy my own cooking.

Ah... I stopped playing tennis quite a few years ago.

Because it doesn't taste good? It will improve if you keep at it.

Then maybe a lot of cake is not a good idea.... only if you exercise a lot elsewhere~

I just don't enjoy it. I much prefer other people cooking for me.

There are definitely many other types of exercise, Marui-kun. I only played tennis for a few years ago, it wasn't particularly difficult to stop.

I'll keep that in mind (^_-)-☆

I didn't know, I thought you were into it like Kite was.

You could join Keigo and myself in An-chan‘s cooking lessons

Me or Hirakoba?

You are of course welcome as well Marui-kin, but I doubt you require classes.

I'll pass~ It's quite far, otherwise why not, I like cooking.

Well, our team in junior high was originally recruited because we'd all done martial arts since we were children, not for any actual skill or interest in tennis. Eishirou is just... very convincing.

I never knew that! I knew about the martial art, that you all practiced, but I thought you met because of tennis. He must be, if he got you all to play it, it's such a demanding sport.

Not at all, we were specifically scouted by Eishirou. I think he spent a lot of elementary school writing down names of participants at the various tournaments and seeing which of us ended up at Higa.

That being said, to excel at karate, I think it's just as demanding, if not more so, than tennis. Not that it really matters, I'm quite out of practice with both.

And you said he wasn't that hard to figure out.

But yeah, you're right. Any physical sport is demanding if you wan to excel, I suppose. I don't like physical work ( ;¬_¬) so I couldn't dedicate so much if I wasn't really into it.

He isn't hard to figure out. I just haven't really asked him, nor do I really care that much, how he picked us all as good martial artists. Given how much data he has of us though, I wouldn't be surprised.

I suppose, if excelling in a sport is what you want to do...

Which cake shops?

Are you going to judge me on my choices? Or do you want to suggest more and come along?

It's a fun game in which you'll never know until you tell me.

Now that I've had more time with holidays, I've been going into Jiyugaoka. I really enjoyed Patisserie Mont St Clair, that was nice, I'd go back there again

~~Damn. Expensive.~~

Which one has bigger cakes?

(ooc: strikes deleted)

It's not really about the size, it's the quality that's important with cake. And they really are delicious.

Which one is most worth it?

Why all the questions Alphabet-kun?

Determining value, obviously.

Oh, Happy late birthday, Hirakoba-kun. I would have had the best birthday as well if I got to see someone punch Sanders-oji in the face.

..What kind of snuggie?

I have a few cake shops near shinjuku that are really good.

It was certainly an experience.

A blue one. It's doing its job well at keeping me warm during the day.

Oh? Can you send me the addresses, I might go check them out in the holidays remaining.

Would have loved to have been there.

I thought it might have been one of those animal onsies.

Oh no problem. ♥ I'll Dm them you. ;)

Well I know there's plenty of footage of it online if you want to see.

Oh no, just a plain blue one.

Thank you.

I am always happy to accompany you Hirakoba. And you do still owe me those lessons. I have just purchased the latex suit
