Retribution

“Bwahaha. Onoda-kun, you’re going to lose again! Prepare for retribution.” Eri boisterously laughed as soon as I returned to join them playing the game.

“This girl… What retribution are you talking about? Aren’t I the one who hasn’t won a game yet?” I replied as I got the controller from Futaba.

Eri scratched her head and put on a silly smile. “Pfft. You’re right. Sorry, I got distracted. Futaba was too tough an opponent.”

Then, Futaba smugly declared, “You’re just too clumsy, Eri. If we had a bet to fulfill each other’s request, you’d be in debt right now. So, Onoda-kun, go and beat Eri. I’ll cheer for you.”

“Wait. The bet only applies to me?”

“Of course. You want to see us punishing each other?”

Although I appreciate her cheering for me, why can’t I see them give each other an absurd order? That will be hilarious, no? Besides, isn’t that some kind of unwritten rule in gatherings like this?
