So. It's Friday and the prefecturals are upon us. Regulars, we will be announcing the lineup at the end of practice, today. I expect everybody to perform to the best of their ability, and we will remain victorious this year.

I asked and received an answer, but not one that satisfied my curiosity. Who is planning this trip, and when can I expect it to be?

May I ask what the idea of a trip and making me wear mouse ears is about? Somehow I don't think this is something that will be school organized and funded, am I right?

Even with the weather changing and the rainy season coming and going at random, this is hardly an excuse to slack off at practice. If it becomes unsafe to do drills or matches on the outdoor courts, then we will move to the gymnasium. Otherwise, be prepared for all occasions. We will not be canceling practice for any reason. The tournament season is now upon us.

As lovely as Keigo's antics are There will also be no substitution for activities other than tennis during regular practice hours. If some of you wish to plan something additionally on the side, please feel free, but clear it up with Seiichi and I first.

Hn. Feels good to get into the swing of updating once more.

Renji, Seiichi, I am heading back to Kanagawa now. I'll give one of you a call once I've arrived at home. I need to get changed and then I'll be ready to head out.

Thank you for the celebration on Friday, everybody. Once again, practice will resume as per usual now that the festivities have come to a close. I expect top notch performances from this point forward.

Sensei seems disappointed that I've stopped wearing Marui's newspaper hat. I've yet to figure out why she found it so incredibly funny.

...I have a birthday hat made out of newspaper. The clubroom was covered wall to wall with flowers.

I most certainly cannot say that this hasn't been an interesting birthday to say the least, so far.

There is to be no funny business tomorrow. I expect practice to continue on as per usual. A birthday is hardly an excuse to slack. My hat is going to remain on my head.

Hn. For once I'm not too sure what to write here.

For the most part, Akaya is fine. I've yet to learn to what extent his injuries are (damn doctors not willing to divulge the details), but he is at least resting, now. I propose we see him together as a team perhaps this weekend - he needs some time to recuperate first.

It felt like what happened to Seiichi happened all over again. I didn't think I'd have to see another hospital for a long time to come - the atmosphere still brings back memories I'd really rather let rest.

Hn. It seems as though I've had far too busy of a Golden Week - I haven't updated my journal in more than a week, and I'm sure Jackal would deem that strange.

Regardless, it's been enjoyable. For some reason or another, Mother has been happy that I've spent so much time out of the house. Typically I would spend much of Golden Week in the dojo, so I suppose having plans is an improvement in her eyes.

Happy birthday once more, Akutagawa. I assume you enjoyed your party.

My brother has been acting... strange since Saturday night. I'm almost afraid to ask what happened.

May I ask when my hat will be returned to me?
