Daily Life Of A Ponytail Girl

Yūi and Yaruki were running on school grounds trying to catch up to Emiko.

"Hurry up, she can't have gotten too far yet!" Yūi yelled as she ran full speed, her ponytail flowing through the wind.

"Wait. . . Puff. . . I need. . . Time to rest. . ."

Teary-eyed, Yaruki was strutting behind her.

"Your stamina is ridiculously bad, you should really do more physical exercises!"

"I. . . Am a strategist. . . A support character. . . All this physical stuff. . . I am not cut out for this. . ."

(Should I just leave her behind) Yūi thought to herself for a second, but then she took note of something in front of her.

"There she is!"

Standing there was the blond girl named Emiko, alongside two other girls who were each carrying big bags. Emiko was talking to these girls as she noticed the two of them approaching, suddenly looking surprised as she saw them. Yūi pulled out her flashlight and aimed it Emiko, while Yaruki stopped behind her, catching her breath.

"Now we have you, villain!" the ponytail girl exclaimed. "Please hand over the key so we can let our classmates go!"

Emiko took a few seconds to take in the sight, before composing herself.

"I had anticipated you'd eventually find a way to escape, but. . . You escaped way quicker than I expected. . ."

"Crafty people like us can't be defeated that easily," Yūi said smugly.

Emiko made a thinking face for a sec, before nodding while saying something to herself. them, a sinister aura surrounded Emiko and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up into an evil smile.

"Seeing as you two are key players for both your respective classes, there's no way I can just overlook this. Yup, absolutely no way. Seems I'll need to get you two restrained some other way."

Emiko suddenly started giggling.

"She must really enjoy playing the evil mastermind huh. . ." Yūi said to Yaruki.

"Yeah, tell me about it. . ."

Abruptly, the giggling stopped, and Emiko's face returned to a serious expression. "Luckily I accounted for problems like these. Ami! Nosuke!"

As Emiko snapped her fingers, the two girls accompanying her stepped forward.

"So it's finally our turn? Yay!"

"It appears that is the case, yes.~"

The first to speak was a girl with long brown hair, smiling from ear to ear.

"Heya, I am Ami Okasawa! I'm a member of the cooking club, I work part-time as a maid, and baking is a big hobby of mine! What about you? Do you have any hobbies or part-time jobs or clubs you're a part of? I bet we could talk for hours about this sorta stuff! Anyways, nice to meet you!"

"Y- yeah, nice to meet you too. . ?" Yūi replied as she was unsure how to react in their current predicament.

"I feel like I am going to vomit. . . I hate these over-energetic types. . ." Yaruki said as she made no attempt to hide her opinions on the girl.

"Such a meanie head." the girl replied as she stepped back, still smiling brightly. Next to speak was the other girl. Her long white hair and pink eyes combined with her pearl white skin gave her a ghastly appearance.

"A p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to make your acquaintance. You may call me Nosuke Yakosei."

One big feature that stood out with her was her ample c.h.e.s.t, the way she held her arms under her c.h.e.s.t puffed it out more, making them look even bigger than they already were.

". . . Wow, those honkers are huge," Yūi said as she looked in awe.

"Staring like that is inappropriate you know?" The girl said teasingly while smiling.

"Can you please not get infatuated with our opponent here?" Yaruki sighed.

"Can't a girl just admire another girl's c.h.e.s.t for a sec?"

"All I am saying is to know your place and time."

As Yūi and Yaruki bickered with each other, Emiko gave some parting words to her classmates.

"Please keep them busy while I'll search for reinforcements," Emiko said as she turned her back on the situation and walked away.

"Leave it to us!" Ami spoke excitedly as she threw a few air punches towards Yūi.

"So, we gonna play another game or something?" Yūi asked while aiming her flashlight at the two girls.

"Oh? Were you expecting us to settle this with some silly game or anything like that? Sorry to disappoint, but no." Nosuke answered.

The girls put their big bags on the ground and pulled out a few hand-sized objects. Yaruki inspected the objects.

"Are those. . ."

"Yep, water balloons!" Ami yelled excitedly. "One step closer and we'll get you soaking wet!"

Yūi jolted back in shock. "Y- you fiend! You're trying to get our clothes all wet and see-through, aren't you?!"

"Eh?" Ami replied confused, "I was actually thinking that just getting wet and cold would be enough of a scare, but now that you mention it. . ."

"That was the first thing your mind jumped to?" Yaruki asked her temporary teammate in disappointment.

"Modesty is important you know!"

Yaruki let out a sigh before crossing her arms and looking at her opponents.

"Appears it is time for us to get serious. Again, do not hold me back."

"Of course!" Yūi replied as she readied her flashlight.

With those final words, the battle started.
