"Let's go—this isn't our fight anymore," Shuichi called. "On to other rides."
"Why?" Eri glanced at the purple-haired girl still watching them. "You trust her off a few words?"
"It's never that simple!" Yukiko chimed in. "What'd you whisper to her?"
"They were so close—practically kissing!" Reiko pouted, displeased.
"Can't spill her identity. She's no saint, but no sinner either," Shuichi said, striding out. "Catch up or I'll solo this."
"Onii-chan! Wait!" Reiko bolted after him.
Eri and Yukiko exchanged looks, hurrying to follow.
Kogoro lingered on the beauty a beat longer before trailing.
...
Shuichi shelved the soda shop drama; the others, though puzzled, trusted him.
Unhindered, fun ramped up.
Eri and Yukiko's rivalry reignited—roller coasters for who flinched first, bumper cars for who got shoved out.
Matched evenly, morning ended in a draw.
Shuichi and Reiko reveled sibling-style; Kogoro ogled his fill.
"Damn it, I won't lose to bookworm!" Yukiko stomped.
"Dream on—I'd never fold to you!" Eri scoffed.
Kogoro eyed them, then rubbed his gut. "Shuichi, noon—lunch time?"
Before Shuichi could reply, Reiko tugged him toward teacups. "Onii-chan, that first—then eat!"
"Fair," Shuichi mused. "Post-meal spins might hurl."
Teacups maxed at four.
Shuichi paired with Kogoro; girls together.
As they neared, Yukiko taunted: "Bookworm, dare a spin-off? Who taps out first!"
"What's to fear?" Eri snorted.
Spotting trouble, Reiko hopped down. "Onii-chan, Kogoro-niisan—me with you!"
"Easy on it," Shuichi warned the pair. "Lunch awaits."
"If bookworm quits, I stop!" Yukiko tilted her chin.
"In your dreams!" Eri snapped. "Why not you?"
Shuichi sighed at their standoff. "Whatever—our ride, our rules."
Shuichi-Reiko-Kogoro versus Eri-Yukiko.
Strapped in, they gripped the centers, whirling.
The trio? Reiko giggled spins; the men watched.
The duo? Final morning bout—they cranked for victory.
Their cup blurred into frenzy.
"Quit yet, bookworm!"
"You're done, vixen!"
Unyielding, speed escalated—spectators gawked.
"Crazy intense..."
"First time seeing that."
"They walking off?"
...
Reiko buried her face, mortified. "Onii-chan, so embarrassing—pretend we don't know them?"
"They're nuts," Kogoro gaped. "Gonna puke for sure."
"Let 'em," Shuichi shrugged.
Five minutes up, the trio disembarked steady.
The girls? Rising, they crumpled—dizzy, sprawling.
"B-Bookworm! You hit dirt first—your loss!"
"Liar! Vixen—you dropped first!"
"You!"
"You!"
...
Still sniping amid the wreckage, Reiko averted her eyes.
"Kogoro, grab water," Shuichi directed, hauling the pair to a flowerbed bench.
Eri and Yukiko dry-heaved, slumping sporadically.
Morning's breakfast long digested—no mess.
"Tch tch, Eri-neechan, Yukiko-neechan—you pregnant or what?" Reiko teased from afar. "My math teacher's nausea was milder."
"Brat, shut it!" Eri clapped a hand over her mouth, flushed with shame. "Knew it'd suck—should've skipped the fox feud! Urp..."
"Bookworm, forfeiting?" Yukiko pounced.
"Delusional? When did I?" Eri fumed.
"Heh, but you just—urp!" Yukiko choked mid-gloat.
"Enough bickering!" Shuichi snapped. "Told you—moderation! You act like kids?"
"Onii-chan!" Reiko countered. "We grade-schoolers outgrew this pettiness!"
"See? Beneath elementary," Shuichi chided.
Guilty, the girls stayed mum.
"Water's here," Kogoro returned, passing bottles.
"Rinse first," Shuichi coached. "Sip slow—no choking..."

"Come on, this isn't our mess anymore," Shuichi called. "Let's hit other spots."
"Why?" Eri glanced at the purple-haired girl still eyeing them. "You trust her off a few words?"
"Can't be that simple!" Yukiko chimed in. "What'd you whisper to her?"
"They were so close—practically kissing!" Reiko pouted, displeased.
"Can't spill her identity. She's no saint, but no villain either," Shuichi said, strolling out. "Catch up or I'll go solo."
"Onii-chan! Wait!" Reiko dashed after without pause.
Eri and Yukiko exchanged looks, hurrying to follow.
Kogoro lingered on the beauty a beat longer before trailing.
...
Shuichi shelved the soda shop drama; the others, though puzzled, trusted him.
Unfettered, fun ramped up.
Eri and Yukiko reignited their rivalry, dueling at every turn.
Roller coaster: who flinched first?
Bumper cars: who'd ram the other off-track?
Evenly matched, morning ended in a draw.
Shuichi and Reiko reveled sibling-style; Kogoro ogled his fill.
"Damn it, I won't lose to bookworm!" Yukiko stomped, fuming.
"Dream on—I'd never lose to you!" Eri scoffed.
Kogoro eyed them wordlessly, rubbing his stomach. "Shuichi, lunch time?"
Before Shuichi could reply, Reiko tugged him toward teacups. "Onii-chan, that first—then eat."
"Fair enough," Shuichi mused. "Post-lunch spins might end in puke."
At the teacups—four max per ride—Shuichi paired the girls together, joining Kogoro.
As they neared, Yukiko taunted: "Bookworm, dare a spin-off? Who taps out first!"
"Bring it!" Eri snorted.
Reiko, sensing trouble, bolted from her cup: "Onii-chan, Kogoro-niisan—with you guys!"
"Go easy," Shuichi warned the pair. "Lunch awaits."
"If bookworm forfeits, I quit!" Yukiko jutted her chin.
"In your dreams!" Eri snapped. "Why not you?"
Sighing at their standoff, Shuichi shrugged. "Fine, ignore 'em. Our fun."
Shuichi, Reiko, Kogoro one cup; Eri and Yukiko the other.
Seated, they spun the centers.
The trio: Reiko giggled wildly; the men watched amused.
The duo? Morning's finale—they cranked for victory.
Their cup whirled berserk.
"Bookworm, forfeit!"
"You're the one, vixen!"
Unyielding, spins blurred to afterimages.
Onlookers gawked—first laughs turned to shock.
"These girls are insane?"
"Never seen spins like that."
"Can they even walk after?"
...
Reiko hid her face, mortified. "Onii-chan, so embarrassing—pretend we don't know 'em?"
"Are they nuts?" Kogoro gaped. "Gonna hurl for sure."
"Let 'em," Shuichi dismissed.
Five minutes later, the trio disembarked steady.
Eri and Yukiko? Rising, they crumpled—dizzy, collapsing.
"B-Bookworm! You hit dirt first—you lose!"
"Liar! Vixen, you dropped first!"
"You!"
"You!"
...
Still bickering amid the wreckage, Reiko averted her eyes.
"Kogoro, grab water," Shuichi directed, hauling the woozy pair to a flowerbed bench.
Dry-heaving, they swayed despite sitting.
Morning's breakfast digested spared the mess.
"Tee hee, Eri-neechan, Yukiko-neechan—you pregnant or what?" Reiko teased. "My math teacher's morning sickness wasn't this bad."
"Brat, shut it!" Eri clapped a hand over her mouth, flushed with shame. "Knew it'd suck—should've skipped the dumb fox contest! Urp..."
"Bookworm, conceding?" Yukiko pounced.
"Dream on!" Eri snapped. "When did I?"
"Heh, you just—urp!" Yukiko cut off mid-taunt.
"Enough sniping!" Shuichi grumbled. "Told you to ease up! Look at you—kindergarteners?"
"Onii-chan!" Reiko protested. "We elementary kids aren't that childish!"
"Hear that? Worse than kids!"
Guilty, the girls stayed mum under his scolding.
"Water's here," Kogoro returned, handing bottles.
"Rinse first," Shuichi advised from beside. "Sip slow—no choking..."
