An athlete discharge from the hospital

Tatsuki watches Ayumi pick up a pebble and skip it over the lake as she asks the athlete if she has any friends from different nations. "Unless you count GreatForce-san, no." Tatsuki picks up a small pebble as well and threw it to make it skip as well, going slightly farther then Ayumi's. "I did meet others from different nations though during my competitions as an athlete, especially at the Ultimate Athlete Tournament for all the years I competed there."

"The Ultimate Athlete Tournament?" Ayumi felt intrigued as she skipped another pebble across the water. "What were your achievements there?"

"Hm?" Tatsuki raised an eyebrow when Ayumi asked what her accomplishments at the Ultimate Athlete Tournament were and said the word as if Tatsuki never mentioned it before after she skipped another pebble. "Ayumi-san, did you forget? I told you I am last year's champion of the tournament. But other accomplishments were being a frequent Semi-finalist and I have the highest record of returns to the Ultimate Athlete Tournament." Tatsuki says as she also takes another pebble and skips it across the water.

"Oh yes, that's right!" Ayumi said, embarrassed that she forgot. "I guess if you have a record of returns, I guess you must be a crowd favorite."

Tatsuki giggles at the embarrassed Ayumi after she remembered and guessed that Tatsuki was a fan favorite due to her returns. "I am yes, but I kept returning because of just the thought of competing against someone in a challenge, and that I wanted to be the Champion since it was my dream from a young age." Tatsuki explained before taking another pebble and skipping it as well. "But what made me well liked was because of my good sportsmanship. I always play fair and treat my opponent kindly and show them respect, even if I lose I still see the fun in it and congratulate the winner."

"Yeah, that's good. Having good sportsmanship can make you feel good when you lose. And I think I told you already about what my friends and I do to congratulate the winner." She skipped one more pebble before walking on.

Tatsuki watched as Ayumi skipped one more pebble and resumes to walk again. "Yep you did. You treat them to food as a way to congratulate the winner."

Ayumi nodded as she continued, "Some of the people we faced against felt as if this was undeserving. But we insist anyway to show how much we care." She soon found a bench and went to sit down.

Tatsuki giggles at what Ayumi said about her opponents who defeated them think that treating them to food was undeserving but her insisting to show they care. "They would think that. After all they did beat up who was treating them and would feel bad about it. Usually its the other way around but its still good to be a good sport and treat the winners to something." She said as she raises her arms and puts her hands behind her head as she sits down next to Ayumi on the bench.

"Indeed," said Ayumi with a nod. "We even do it to those who lost too. At least, they too would feel like winners in the end now that they would have an ally and someone to lean on." She would relax a little as she felt the breeze coming in and saw the birds feeling "twitter pated". "What a gorgeous day, isn't it?"
