Even with Ai going easy on you, she still managed to score two goals on you. Right as you were about to enter match point, you felt the familiar buzz of your phone.
“Wow, that was intense. We better mentally prepare for the final round,” you say, working on your excuse to leave.
“Prepare? What do you mean-” You interrupted Ai be
“This is where it’s all on the line, right? The final point? So we gotta make sure we’re at the top of our game.”
“Uh…”
Before Ai could fully see through your bs, you started making your way out. “And to prepare, I gotta go take a lap around the station. Don’tgoanywhere, I’llberightback!”
Ai blinked in confusion. “...What?”
You ran into the clubroom, breathing heavily from running so much right after an intense soccer game.
“So?” you suddenly heard Izumi say. “Did you get your lenscap thingy?”
“My wha-” Then you remembered your excuse. “Oh uh… I lost it.”
That excuse only earned a suspicious and annoyed look from Izumi, but she remained focused on her goals at least. “While you were gone, I used the tripod for some basic shots, but I need some with higher angles. Can you do that at least?”
“Sure.” You couldn’t imagine why she was starting to doubt your reliability now. Izumi handed you the camera so you could help her again.
But by the time you start getting into the flow again, you feel the buzz on your chest again.
“Ah dang it.”
“What?”
“Oh uh… I just remembered where my breast cap is.”
“Excuse me?” Izumi said annoyed.
“Er I mean lenscap!”
“Ugh, just forget about that, you’re…already gone.” As she said, you were already gone.
Once you made it back to Hotaru’s shed, you plugged her back in. She soon powered on and repeated her automated warning before continuing where you left her on. “-estion. Wait, what?”
“What?” you said acting dumb.
“My internal clock says that 20 minutes have passed,” Hotaru said. Dang, you didn’t think of that.
“M-maybe it’s broken?”
“No. If it were, it would be frozen or behind in time. It shouldn’t be able to go forward in time on its own. Plus, my diagnostic log said I shut down.”
“Oh. Uh, I guess that's it, huh?”
“Yeah. But it’s strange.”
“Why? Why’s it strange,” you said, urgently looking for an opening to change the subject.
“Because I would’ve expected you to plug me back in immediately. That is what I was hoping you would help me with the most.” Hotaru’s digital eyes squinted in suspicion.
“Uh…I uh… Okay I admit it.”
Hotaru’s synthetic eyebrow rose.
“I wanted to feel your boobs while they were out.” Hey, it was probably better than the truth.
Hotaru’s metal cheeks suddenly turned red, simulating blushing. Then it immediately turned off as her logical computer of a brain came to a logical conclusion. “Wait, for 20 minutes?” She was clearly more weirded out than embarrassed now.
Now you were the one blushing. “Ah… Hey, where’s the screwdriver?”
“Screwdriver?”
“You know what? Let me go find one real quick.”
“W-wait! There’s one right… here.” You were already gone by the time she picked it up. “Man, why do all organics have such bad eyesight.”
You were disappointed to cut Hotaru’s time short, but you needed to get out of that embarrassing situation fast. At least this meant more time with Ai.
Ai saw you run in exhausted. “There you- woah, are you okay?” she asked, concerned.
“Wha? Yeah, I’m fine. What were we doing?”
“We had one more goal left in our football game.”
“Ah, right. Now I remember.”
Ai wondered how you could’ve forgotten that in less than 20 minutes, but figured as long as you both finished, she’d be happy. However she could still tell you were more tired than you should’ve been. “Are you sure you can still play?”
“Yeah yeah, let’s finish this.”
You both finally finish your game, but Ai seems less into it than before. Not because of anything wrong with her though, she can just so obviously tell you’re not in your head game anymore. Eventually she does score her final goal and win, but it took her longer since she went much more easy on you.
“A-alright, that’s game,” Ai said. You notice how less hyped up she was than expected. “So uhh… wanna take a water break?” she asked.
“A break! Yes, that’s a good idea. But I uh… forgot my water bottle. I’ll go find a water fountain, bye!”
“Wait! But I have …spare. What is going on with her?”
You had no time to hear what she said last, you had other girlfriends to attend to.
“Wow, that was intense. We better mentally prepare for the final round,” you say, working on your excuse to leave.
“Prepare? What do you mean-” You interrupted Ai be
