Conversational Japanese; Wednesday, Fourth Period [03/06].
All of her exploits around the vehicles scattered throughout the Astrotorium had, unfortunately, not satiated Yukari's need for speed, but rather had only made it more potent. What did that have to do with the fact that she'd eschewed all the desks in the room to the side and brought in some beanbag chairs and a couple of stations with video games and screens (boy oh boy, did she love the seemingly endless plethora of resources this school had!)? Well, you were about to find out!
"Driving in Japan," she stated, "is not nearly as common as driving here in the United States, especially inside the city, where biking, walking, and public transportation are all pretty popular, but driving is a lot of fun, and I'm personally a big fan of it and try to do it whenever I possibly can back home!"
Despite all the violations and bans and not even having a car and yet somehow always managing to convince her parents to let her borrow theirs!
"So, today," she said, "we're going to learn some words and phrases around driving, some general information about driving in Japan, and, even more importantly, we're going to talk about drifting and words associated with it!"
Because that was definitely going to come up a lot in your every day associations with using Japanese, right?
"Then, finally, we're going to put that knowledge to work by playing racing video games for the rest of the day, so let's make this short and sweet and get to the good stuff!"

"You have to push the buttons to make them go," said Yukari, helpfully.
Look, she was a Japanese teacher, not a video games instructor!

That was, surprising no one, Yukari's favorite part! She had a lead foot and she put it to good use!

Belle was also secretly (or not-so-secretly, depending on how well you knew her) quite competitive and she really wanted to win.
