===Record 13: I Knew It Was You===

On the way home one moonless night, you turned toward me in a deserted alley.

“We should go to the Mountain.”

“Huh? Are you saying you want to join the Chancellor’s Officers? You want to be with Senpai that badly?”

“It’s not just about that.”

That’s just a more complicated way of saying yes, dammit. You ignored the exasperation on my face and gave a few satisfied nods. Then you inserted a coin in the vending machine on the side of the road.

“So let’s seal our promise with some drinks.”

Did I not get a say in this? Still, I took the drink and opened the pull tab. You didn’t even say cheers before starting to drink yours and looking me straight in the eye.

“Why not do it? You’ve only beaten Senpai once. You might catch up to him.”

“I couldn’t catch up to him even with Mountain training. I only managed to stop that with a punch because I’d never seen it before.”

But she did have a point.

“How about this? If I get into the Chancellor’s Officers, you have to root for me just once. With all your heart.”

“Okay and if I get in, you have to rescue me just once. Also with all your heart.”

We had a deal. I nodded and drank my drink. But the can was empty.

I quickly checked the can and found it was a moonlight carbonated drink. You laughed.

“You took too long to drink it and it ran away.”

I looked into the sky to find it was full of moonlight now.

'''Author Comment:

I feel like canned drinks show up in my stories a lot too.

Gogo no Kocha went on sale when I was in middle school and buying one on the way home from school was the popular thing to do for a while.

Maybe you could describe that as nostalgic?
