At last, the perfect opponent


Uta is not a good loser. He's getting better, though, and at times it is possible to beat him and not send him flying off into hysterics. But you can't gloat, or win repeatedly, or have your first name be Hiroshi. I guess he still has some growing up to do. But with Kizuki Uta doesn't have to worry. He has discovered one of the joys of having a little sister seven years your junior. No matter what the game, or task, or skill, Uta is better. You might think there is no satisfaction in winning when your opponent is a toddler. But Uta would disagree. Winning feels good, no matter what.
