I used the break to help my father and grandfather at their clinic back in Tokyo. It was mostly observation, but still good practice nonetheless. My father is pleased with my progress, but he still wants to know what my specialty will be. I said I would know after this year wraps up as I'm still taking the last bit of introductory courses.

My little sister had a piano recital just after the new year and she did splendid. I knew she would, considering her horoscope was in the top position that day. Afterwards, we went out for dinner at one of her favorite places, Ginza Torishige. It was quite good.

We also went to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens with Takao. My sister thoroughly enjoyed it. She made plans to see it again with a group of her friends. I managed a round of golf with my father and grandfather as well. It will never be as satisfying as basketball, however.

Hey Midorima, I missed your face.

Did you win at golf?

Niou.

No, I did not, but I wasn't expecting to.

Oh good, you still remember me. It feels like ages since we last talked.

Were you thoroughly trounced by your father and grandfather?

It's hard not to forget someone as eccentric as you.

Yes. My grandfather won +4. Father got +7. I received +13. It was an unlucky day for me as I was in the lower half of the day's Oha-Asa ranking.

You're going to make me blush.

Work harder, Midorima.

I will. At basketball.

Do you play other sports too? Or is it just basketball and golf?

Just those two, mainly.

So, your father and grandfather have a clinic together. Are you going to join them when you graduate from university? Keep the business in the family and be the third generation Midorima to take over?

Also, just btw, I'm very good at golf.

That is the plan, yes.

Good for you, Niou.

So you're just going to be a general doctor? Will you diagnose and treat my stomach problems for me?

I feel like I need more praise than that.

My grandfather and father are both internists. They'll be able to treat you better than I will.

Are you as good at golf as you are at tennis?

I want to see if you have magical healing hands like Oshitari.

... How do you know what I'm like at tennis?

That's nice. Practical experience tends to teach you more things than the theory could. Hope you find the specialty that really calls out to you!

Congratulations for your little sister. Do you learn piano as well, Midorima-kun?

You know how to play golf? Interesting how you seem to know all the more unpopular activities, like shogi too. It's such a shame it doesn't get as much attention in our age range.

You will have to find out later on in the future.

I have seen your practice matches at the training camp.

What, you're not prepared to have a go now? Are you that unconfident in your skills?

... What a surprisingly simple answer. I was expecting the worst.

I am leaning in one direction, but I still have some time to decide.

Yes. Piano playing runs in the family. My mother is skilled as well.

Not very well. I would fair better at miniature golf rather than the full game. My interest in such things can be attributed to my grandfather.

Midorima-kun~ Do you want to see Star Wars another time? A bunch of us are planning to go this Saturday. What do you think?

You play golf! Wow, that's so cool!
