Now, the time has come for our class to decide...

...who will compete in the sports fest coming up next week.

If you don't have any objections to these nominees, please raise your hand.

I need to do something about Kanako-chan...

Then, next I'd like to decide who will be in the Class Relay.

If any of you would like to be in it, please raise your hand.

No one...

Ladies, please try to contribute a little to our class.

If you're going to say that,

why don't you enter yourself?

ltsue-san...

You're telling me to be in the relay?

It's for the class, right?

If you participate, I will too.

All right.

Then I shall gladly participate.

However, I've never even been in a footrace in all my life,

so I can't give any assurance as to the results.

As they say, the important thing is to participate.

Don't forget you said that.

I wonder if Yoshino-san will be all right...

Never mind that, Yumi-san.

Shouldn't you be worrying about yourself?

What?

I had a feeling you weren't paying attention.

Since you raised your hand without any reservation.

Yumi Fukuzawa

No way...

Yumi Fukuzawa

Yumi Fukuzawa I ended up putting a vote in for myself...

Yumi Fukuzawa

The maidens, who flock to Maria-sama's garden,

pass through the tall gates today yet again with innocent, angelic smiles.

Their pure hearts and bodies are clad in deep-colored uniforms.

So that the pleats of their skirts are not disturbed...

...and so that their white sailor collars are not set aflutter,

it is customary here to walk slowly and with decorum.

The Private Lillian Girls' A cademy, a garden of maidens.

Maria Watches Over Us

Ready, GO

So? What are you going to do, Yumi?

What?

You're thinking that you'd like to do something about Kanako-chan, right?

Yes, well...

Oh? But you're of the thought...

...that there's no need to force a reconciliation, correct?

True, but I want to respect your feelings, too.

You want to reconcile with her, don't you?

Yes.

Then, make your desire for reconciliation clear to her.

If you sincerely convey your desire and it still doesn't work out,

even you can be satisfied with that, right?

Once you've done that...

Once I've done that...?

Come back to me.

I'll be waiting for you with open arms.

Onee-sama...

I love you, Onee-sama!

Oh, Yumi!

Thank you very much for your advice!

I'll go confront her at once!

I didn't mean that you should go right this minute.

I'm sorry for summoning you out here.

You wanted to talk?

I know we can't go back to how we were before.

But I don't want things to just remain as they are.

There's nothing that can be done now.

You utterly shattered my ideal image of the Rosa Chinensis en bouton.

If you hate me, then I'll back off.

But if that's the case, I want you to clearly say so.

So how do you feel? Do you not even want to see my face anymore?

The way you are now,

you're not even worth having such thoughts about.

But...

Would you please just leave me alone now?

You find me that frightening?

Merely unpleasant.

For the Fukuzawa Yumi-sama that I admired...

...was suddenly hijacked by another personality one day.

Hijacked? But...

The Fukuzawa Yumi that vanished was a twin,

who became an astronaut and she's headed for Mars right about now.

Pardon?

Won't you think of it that way, and enter into a new relationship with me?

Please don'tjoke around.

I'm dead serious, though...

Say, to start with, won't you help out with the school festival?

With the Yamayuri Council's play?

Nothing obligates me to do such a thing.

That's like being penalized for losing a game.

All right. Then, let's make it a game with penalties.

If you lose, you come help out.

Pardon?

Let me think... How should we compete?

I know! The sports fest is coming up soon.

Why not compete based on which of our teams win?

That outcome isn't within our individual powers to influence.

We'll both work hard, so that our own team can win.

How about that?

All right.

I'm so glad.

So, if I win, what will you do for me, Yumi-sama?

What?

It would be strange for me to be the only one liable to be penalized.

Then, I'll do one thing. Anything you want me to do.

What? Anything?

Oh, but nothing like asking me to return my rosary to Sachiko-sama,

which would involve a third party, okay?

Also, requests for a million yen or for me to die are...

...things I hope you won't ask for.

You are placing quite a few conditions on it.

But well, thanks to this, I'm now looking forward to the sports fest.

Please excuse me then.

Could it be that I've made an outrageous promise?

The Next Day

What did you do, Yumi-sama?

What?

Is it true that you spoke to Kanako-san after school yesterday?

I did, but...

Is there something wrong with that?

Then, what about that?

For some reason, Kanako-san has...

...suddenly begun practicing for the relay of her own initiative.

So, I thought perhaps something had happened with you.

Hmm, whatever the reason, it's admirable, isn't it?

This is no time to be admiring her.

If the Red Team gets moving, our Green Team will end up dead last.

Dead last?

This year, the Yellow Team is the favorite to win...

...and the buzz is that the Red and Green Teams...

...will be battling for last place.

How could anyone even know that before the competition?

You can generally tell if you look at each team's chief competitors.

You're right.

Yellow and Red seem to have a lot of tough competitors.

So? What happened with Kanako-chan?

I only suggested that we compete in the sports fest.

To see who would win, Red or Green.

Oh, so that's what it was.

You thought that Yumi-san might have made Kanako-san her soeur, didn't you?

Yes, because I didn't think...

...that Kanako-san would put so much effort into it,

just for the sake of winning in the sports fest.

So I thought perhaps Yumi-sama was involved somehow.

But Kanako-chan used to be a devotee of yours, right?

Why would she work so hard to compete against you?

It seems she realized...

...that she had the wrong idea about what kind of person I was.

As in, great love sometimes leads to great hatred?!

What a conceited first-year student!

Yumi-san,

we absolutely must not lose to the Red Team!

Right...

And finally, the Sunday of the sports fest...

Yumi-chan, which should I wear?

Both are fine.

Don't say that. Choose for me.

Then, the green polo shirt.

I'm on the Green Team, after all.

Are you really sure I don't need to wear a suit?

Your father secretly feels a sense of rivalry with Sachiko-sama's father.

What?

He does?

But Sachiko-sama's family won't be there.

What?!

They have a relative's wedding to go to.

l-I see.

It is Sunday.

Lillian Girls'Academy Sports Fest

Yumi-sama, pardon me for stopping you.

That's okay. Is something the matter?

What are you up to, Yumi-sama?

What?

What did you talk about with Kanako-san?

Oh, that.

She seems rather lively and happy for some reason.

Something must have transpired between you and her.

This is no laughing matter!

Sorry.

We made a promise that whoever loses the team competition...

...will grant one request of the other person.

Incidentally, if Kanako-chan loses,

she's going to be helping with the Yamayuri Council's play.

And if you lose?

I haven't asked yet.

What are you, an idiot?!

What do you intend to do if she asks you to make her your soeur?!

I think that's unlikely.

You aren't guaranteed that in any way!

Why are you so magnanimous towards Hosokawa Kanako?!

Oh, honestly!

She's behaving like a baby.

Because she pities herself for the situation she has been placed in.

So you know about her circumstances?

Yes. Her father...

Please don't , Toko-chan.

I have no intention of hearing about this.

Yumi-sama...

If Kanako-chan wants to tell me about it herself, I'll listen,

but I don't think I need to know if I have to hear it from you.

Because that has nothing to do with the bet we made.

But...

I'm sure it's because you're worried about what might happen if I lose,

but what's important here isn't who wins or loses.

Then, what is important?

I just wanted to be involved with Kanako-chan in some way.

At the very least, as long as we're competing and have this bet going,

Kanako-chan will speak to me, you see?

Too nice.

What?

I hate the way that you can be so indulgent, Yumi-sama!

Please excuse me!

Oh, Toko-chan...

Pardon me for being late!

Listen to me, Yumi.

We're going for the win!

Yes!

That's my soeur!

Let's do our best!

Sachiko-sama is awfully fired up today.

I here and now declare the start of the Lillian Girls' Academy Sports Fest!

Must Win Best in Japan Green

It's finally begun.

First up is the first-year students' Ball Rolling, huh?

Get set!

Ready!

Here!

Broadcasting Booth

Broadcasting Booth The sash has been passed to the tennis balls!

Broadcasting Booth

Broadcasting Booth After this comes the basketballs!

After this comes the basketballs!

We're counting on you!

Broadcasting Booth

Broadcasting Booth And then on to the rolling of the large spheres.

Broadcasting Booth

And they will continue the relay in this order.

There! Next! Toko-chan's going to run!

Go for it!

Next up is Noriko-chan.

And next... is Kanako-chan, huh?

Go for it!

They're fast! The Red Team is fast!

Broadcasting Booth

Broadcasting Booth The Red Team has surged past three teams to jump into the lead!

Broadcasting Booth

Amazing...

That's the Red Team's secret weapon.

So, Yumi-san, what's the truth here?

About what?

Are you going to make her your little sister or not?

Like I said...

Yumi, you're up.

Yes, ma'am!

Wow...

"Wow" ?

Onee-sama, you look gallant!

Do you think so?

When they first settled on this outfit, I was not enthusiastic.

But when I saw you wearing it at Hanadera's school festival,

I thought it wasn't bad.

Oh, I wish I could just stare at her forever...

I'm sure you very much hate to be apart from her,

but you'll see her again as soon as the second-year Ball Fleeing is over.

But then, there'll be the third-year Ball Toss and Onee-sama will be gone.

How wonderful for you that you're so close.

You're late!

Entrance Gate

Entrance Gate Here are the competitors!

Entrance Gate

Yoshino-san, is something wrong?

Are you in a bad mood?

Did you see the way Rei-chan was dressed?

What? No, not yet.

Itjust really gets to me!

Sachiko-sama looks so cool in the school uniform, but Rei-chan...

What does she look like?

Carnival gone mad at the canary festival.

Huh?

You can't !

Show me the compassion of a samurai, Yumi-dono.

Please be merciful and do not look upon her in front of me.

A-All right.

Whoa, the Purple Team is playing dirty!

What?

Giving Shimako-san the basket!

Why is that playing dirty?

Don't you see?

Even just to be nice, you couldn't say she's suited to the role.

There's only one reason why she's been given the basket.

Her influence as the Rosa Gigantea.

Her influence?

When you're throwing balls, if you think they might hit Shimako-san,

you'll hesitate for an instant, right?

That's what the Purple Team is counting on.

Oh, I see.

Okay, here we go!

I'm not going to feel bad about going after Shimako-san!

Take that!

The Ball Fleeing turned into a free-for-all.

One!

Two!

Three!

I wonder how we did.

Four!

Please, let us win! Four!

Please, let us win!

Eighty-five!

Eighty-six!

We did it!

We won!

Amazingly,

in a big upset, the favorite to win, the Yellow Team, has come in last!

Being the favorite to win must be tough.

Since you become every team's target.

I wonder if Mami-san knew that and that was why she printed...

...that ranking prediction in the Lillian Ledger.

It's fine for the favorite to have that kind of handicap.

Then, could it be that we came in first,

because none of the other teams thought we were a threat...?

But don't you think the third-years have it easy?

They're retired from active life, after all.

What do you mean?

You know, when you get to be a third-year, you have a lot going on.

A lot?

Like choosing a department for priority enrollment,

college entrance exams, preparing to study abroad,

or looking for a job.

They really have a lot going on.

So with all that, they're exhausted on a day-to-day basis,

so it would be mean not to treat them with a little consideration.

How frustrating! I threw so many!

Why did we come in fifth place?!

That smug look on Rei's face when I saw her on the way back here...

Oh, it infuriates me!

Onee-sama, please stage a comeback in the Centipede Race!

Yes...

Yes! We shall do that!

You've really become Sachiko-sama's protector.

After that, the cheering competition began.

Red Team After that, the cheering competition began.

Red Team

Pink Team Victory Best in Japan

Purple Team Victory

But really, Shimako-san looks so beautiful!

She totally got pressed into service here again.

Shimako-san is an accredited master of Japanese dance,

and the Wisteria Maiden theme is perfect, too, don't you think?

Maybe they did the Wisteria Maiden because they have Shimako-san.

That makes sense.

Yellow

Canary...

Right?

I don't think it's bad.

You can say that only because she's not your big sister.

You think so?

I do think so. Try imagining it.

There is no way I could wear such a thing!

I can't imagine it.

Right?

Must Win Green

Must Win Green And my Onee-sama...

Must Win Green

Oh, Onee-sama! You look so gallant!

Rah!

Rah!

Green! Come on!

Rah! Rah! Green!

Rah! Rah! Green! Rah! Rah! Green!

Rah! Rah! Green! Rah! Rah! Green!

white Yellow Purple Pink

Green Red

We're in last place.

How can this be?!

Onee-sama.

Here.

What is this?

Please hit it without reservation.

This is an instrument that is meant to be struck.

Then, I shall be going to the Flower Dance, so please take this!

Good work. You danced very beautifully.

Thank you very much.

Onee-sama, did you strike the drum to your heart's content?

With the program being dance, I couldn't have struck it even if I'd wanted to.

Oh, right...

When I realized that, I couldn't help but laugh.

And then, it seemed rather ridiculous that I was so irritated.

You're such a wondrous girl.

Um, please do your best in the Centipede Race.

I shall.

And my Onee-sama brilliantly came in 3rd place in the Centipede Race.

Thanks to that, we, the Green Team, were able to get out of last place.

We did it!

Attention please.

If you are participating in the Club Relay,

please gather at the entrance gate immediately.

We're finally getting to the climax of the morning events.

I imagine Itsue-san's Track-and-Field Team is virtually guaranteed the win.

And the Club Relay began.

Next up is Itsue-san.

She's the anchor for the Team Relay, so she better show us a great run.

That's Track-and-Field for you. Itsue-san has beautiful form.

Huh?

Did she just get a little slower?

I wonder if Itsue-san isn't feeling well today.

Lunch Break

Yumi, let's go.

No, please take me.

Um, where is it that I'm supposed to take you?

Where else?!

I give up. I have absolutely no idea.

Are you teasing me?!

N-No, I would never!

You really have no idea?

Pardon me.

Then, you mean, you had no intention of introducing me?

Introduce you? Um, to whom, exactly?

Honestly! Your parents, of course!

Oh.

Do not " oh" me!

Why are you so dense like this?!

All morning, I have...

No, even last night, I had trouble falling asleep.

That is just how much I've been agonizing over it.

And yet...

You had trouble... falling asleep?

Of course!

I worried about being able to greet your parents properly when we met...

...and about whether I would make a good impression on them...

I'd imagine you would be fine, no matter where you went.

Your parents are an exception.

Huh?

I don't want them to dislike me.

Then, I'll take you to them.

But you should know, they're not such impressive parents.

Will I be all right?

Of course!

After all, both my mother and father already love you.

Really?

They may have never met you, but they can tell by looking at me.

They can tell just how important Ogasawara Sachiko-sama is to me.

Oh, I see. I can understand that.

Because my parents always speak of you that way, too.

I've brought my Onee-sama, Ogasawara Sachiko-sama.

Oh...

Hello...

Father! Mother!

A-Are you all right?

Pardon me. I'm Yumi's father.

I'm her mother.

I wish I could go crawl in a hole.

Oh, is that kara-age fried chicken?

They look delicious!

Would you care for some? Please, go right ahead.

Help yourself.

Are you sure? Thank you very much.

I don't know if it'll be to your taste...

This is delicious!

Oh, I'm so glad.

If you would like, please have some of the other items, too.

I feel as though I've pressed you into sharing your food.

But since you have offered so kindly, I'll gratefully accept.

Oh, please, please! Have as much as you like!

They're wonderful people.

Do you think so?

It makes such great sense that they're your parents.

That doesn't seem like much of a compliment.

But it is a compliment.

A bright and cheery family. It seems so normal, it's wonderful.

To call that "normal" is...

Um, Onee-sama, why don't we go dance, too?

What? But...

I'm sure it'll be fun!

My Onee-sama is growing farther and farther away...

Kanako-chan!

What are you doing here?

It's just my turn.

Have you decided what my penalty will be?

Yes, I'll tell you if I win.

What?

Whether you know what it is or not won't affect who wins, will it?

So what does it matter?

Give me a hint.

Is it something I'll be able to do on the spot?

If all the requirements are in place, it can be accomplished immediately.

Requirements, huh?

I wonder what it might be.

And now I get Toko-chan.

Everyone wished to dance with the Rosa Chinensis,

so they all focused on grabbing a spot on the lady's side.

I came too late, so I had no choice but to go to the side with a shortage.

T-True.

Besides, if I'm dancing the same part as Kanako-san,

we could dance for the rest of our lives...

...and I would never have to partner with her.

But it's too bad.

Pardon?

I mean, you joined the folkdance...

...because you wanted to dance with Sachiko-sama, right?

And yet...

Oh...

Well, true.

It was really...

...too bad.

The underclassmen...

...were so happy that they got to dance with you, Onee-sama.

And with you, too.

Now, next up is the Hakama Trouser Race.

As I recall, this event is limited to soeurs, right?

Year 3, Pine Class, Ogasawara Sachiko-san.

Year 2, Pine Class, Fukuzawa Yumi-san.

Year 3, Chrysanthemum Class, Hasekura Rei-san.

Year 2, Pine Class, Shimazu Yoshino-san.

Year 2, Wisteria Class, Todo Shimako-san.

Year 1 , Camellia Class, Nijyo Noriko-san.

Please come to the inside of the tracks immediately.

Pardon us for summoning you.

The sports fest executive committee...

...received numerous requests to have the Yamayuri Council officers...

...be in this year's Hakama Trouser Race...

...and we'd love for you to participate.

I'm on the sports fest executive committee...

...and I haven't heard anything about this.

The ladies are all self-effacing, so we decided to do it this way.

It doesn't seem we can refuse them at this rate.

But I find this coercive method unpleasant.

Even so, as Yumi-chan says,

it'd be impossible for us to return to our seats without doing anything.

Rei and Yoshino-chan are starting.

Oh, yes.

Seeing the two of them running,

I was suddenly reminded of something Yoshino-san had said.

In exchange, I won't let Rei-chan suffer alone.

I've decided to have the operation.

I'm sorry.

I wanted to walk hand-in-hand with you.

What?

I wanted to get healthy and walk shoulder-to-shoulder with you.

I'm happy for you, Yoshino-san.

Come on, we're going to give it our all, too.

P-Pardon me. I'll give it my all!

Get set!

Rei-sama and Yoshino-san were perfectly in synch.

I wonder how we seem to others as soeurs.

Ready!

Green Red

There are four remaining events.

First up is Yumi-san's Borrowers' Race.

Good luck!

How strange...

No matter how far away she is, I can spot her instantly.

Hey, are you listening to me, Yumi-san?

Oh, sorry, sorry.

I'll go wash my face real quick and pull myself together.

Oh, Itsue-san?

Is something the matter?

N-No...

Just rinsing my mouth out.

You know, the field is dusty.

See you.

Oh? Why has she taken off one of her socks?

Ladies and gentlemen in the gallery,

if you happen to have an item that our competitors are looking for,

we ask that you willingly lend it to them.

Does anyone have a paperback book?!

Someone please lend me a pair of glasses!

This is rather exciting, isn't it?

Shimako-san, were you pressed into doing this event, too?

I volunteered.

What did you mean by " too" ?

Oh, no, it's nothing.

What's wrong?

C-Could that be...

My father...

Congratulations!

The designated item was someone in traditional Japanese clothes.

Incidentally, why are you dressed this way today?

I actually came here directly after a memorial service.

My intention was to get a glimpse of my daughter and then go home, but...

My goodness!

They're not alike at all, but I guess that's her father.

Ready!

What?

A man wearing a suit

A man wearing a suit Is that fair?!

Yumi, what's your designated item?!

Tell me!

Um, a su...

Su?

Onee-sama, we can talk later!

Please, sir!

If we're doing this, we may as well win!

So, why are you here in a suit today?

I actually came here directly from the wedding hall.

I was going to go back as soon as I caught sight of my daughter.

A memorial service and a wedding... Well, today is Sunday...

Exit Gate

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Was I able to help?

If so, I'm happy.

There's something about his prim attitude...

It reminds me of someone...

But you really are exactly as I'd heard you described, Yumi-chan.

Huh?

You should come visit sometime.

We'll have a nice long chat.

Um...

Dear Uncle.

Hello there, Toko-chan. Long time no see.

You should come visit once in a while.

Oh, but I do visit your residence every so often.

You're the one who's always busy and away, dear Uncle.

That was harsh.

Toko-chan knows him?

Father...

"Father"...

"Father"... "Father"...

"Father" ?!

Does that mean...

Mm-hm.

He's my father.

Yes, Sachiko's father.

My name is Ogasawara Toru.

Wait, then you didn't pick me because you knew?

Pardon me.

Oh, yes. If you'd like, you can call me " Toru Oji-sama."

You call my wife " Sayako Oba-sama," right?

But what are you doing here?

What about the wedding?

Oh, shoot. I've stayed too long.

The truth is, I pretended to go to the bathroom and snuck out.

What?

Sachiko, not a word about this to your grandfather now.

Because he'll be jealous.

Bye now.

To think I'd end up introducing him like this...

What happened, Itsue-san?

What's going on?

Look at this!

Oh!

Did this happen during the Club Relay?

Yes.

I'm sorry, Yoshino-san.

I'm really sorry.

You're so stupid.

Why didn't you say something sooner?

Ignoring it until it got like this!

When we were selecting the relay race competitors,

I talked to you like I was so high and mighty,

and then to sprain my ankle in the Club Relay after that...

At any rate, someone take Itsue-san to Eiko-sensei at the first aid tent.

We should get a compress on this quickly.

Be harder on me, Yoshino-san!

Get mad at me for being a useless Track-and-Field athlete!

Yes, it would be easier if you'd just blame me!

Then, quit complaining and get your butt over to the first aid tent.

I'm busy.

I have to find a replacement...

...and go through the process of registering the roster change.

On top of which, I have to run myself.

I don't have time to babysit a child throwing a tantrum.

I thought that Yoshino-san was so cool...

That with Yoshino-san, I could handle leading the Yamayuri Council.

Now...

We need someone to run in Itsue-san's place.

If anyone would be willing to volunteer...

But... I suppose that isn't going to happen.

Those of you competing in the Team Relay,

please gather at the entrance gate!

All right.

Since it's an emergency, there's no helping it.

We'll go with Yumi-san.

What?

W-What?!

You can be in shock later. Come on, let's go!

Wait! Yoshino-san, you'll pay for this later!

Entrance Gate

Entrance Gate But to have both the Rosa Foetida en bouton and you running the relay...

Is the Green Team giving up on competing?

I'll have you know, I'm the secret weapon,

so the team kept it hush-hush until the last minute.

I see.

You are the anchor, after all.

At any rate,

for the Red Team, this is most welcome.

Green Red

Green Red It looks like we can get out of last place with this.

I look forward to competing head-to-head.

Competing head-to-head? No way...

Kanako-chan... is the anchor?!

And so the moment of fate was finally upon us.

For the first leg, every team had a fast runner,

including Rei-sama on the Yellow Team.

And next, it was Yoshino-san's turn,

our Green Team's controversial second runner.

This was Yoshino-san's first time really participating in any sort of sports fest.

The Green Team tumbled down the rankings, ending up dead last.

By the fourth runner, the Green Team was running alone in last place.

Meanwhile, the Red Team passed the White Team, sending them to 4th place.

Yumi-sama, it looks like we may win by the skin of our teeth.

Like I said before, we won't know until we've actually run it, okay?

There's no knowing what might happen.

See?

Truly.

Here!

She's coming up behind me.

There's only one person back there.

My fellow teammates are yelling something.

But none of it reaches my ears.

All I can hear is Kanako-chan's footfall.

Right then...

I ran single-mindedly.

Whether or not Kanako-chan passed me...

That no longer mattered.

Sachiko-sama was watching over me.

So I ran with every ounce of my being.

That was all.

Go!

Go for it!

I could see Kanako-chan running.

I thought, "How beautiful."

Now, then... The match...

...is settled, isn't it?

All right.

What do you... want me to do?

Yumi-sama, you really are too nice.

What?

To think, you haven't even lost and you intend to accept the penalty...

Good work, Yumi-san.

And...

Thank you.

But I got passed by Kanako-chan.

None of that now.

What kind of position would that put me in? I got passed by three people.

No position at all, I guess.

How dare you say that, you!

And now, for the results!

The overall winner is...

Still...

The Yellow Team coming in first was no surprise, but...

The Red Team won against the Green Team in the final relay race, and yet...

The Green Team officially managed to not come in last place.

To win when we lost, though...

It feels rather awkward.

Before the relay, our Green Team had a 1 5-point lead on the Red Team.

5th place in the relay was worth 10 points,

so we just barely managed to get away from them.

Even with a 5-point difference, a win is a win.

You're still saying that?

It's just a matter of whether you came in fifth or last, right?

You don't get it.

Even if the Green Team came in second, if the Red Team had won,

I would surely be devastated by the feeling of defeat right now.

What's this? Your definition of winning only applied to the Red Team?

Just in this one instance, that's what it boiled down to.

I had a feeling...

...that maybe Sachiko-sama knew about my bet with Kanako-chan.

But I may be reading too much into it.

About being a helper for the school festival...

Toko-chan is saying she wants to help out, too.

You'll have to work with her, but what do you think?

Could you handle that?

A penalty is meant to be tough, so...

Incidentally, if you had won,

what kind of penalty did you have planned for me?

I lost in the end, so what does it matter?

Tell me!

Come on!

I said, tell me!

No!

l-I'll tell you!

How's that? Still not telling?! l-I'll tell you!

How's that? Still not telling?!

I'll tell you, so please stop!

A photograph.

What?

I wanted a two-shot photograph.

Of you and me.

What? That's all?

We can do that, no problem.

Really?!

However, only on the condition...

...that you work hard as a helper for the school festival.

You're really drawing this out.

Of course.

I am the victor.

You are the defeated.

I still have plenty of time to associate with Kanako-chan,

so I plan to take it nice and slow.

Ready, go!

A shot rang out in my heart, signaling a new start.

You are breathing even now. Anata ga ima mo iki o shite iru

That alone already fills my heart. Sore dake de mou mune wa ippai

Words to express the trembling of my heart... Kokoro no furue arawasu kotoba wa

...are difficult to find, but... umaku sagasenai kedo

Your smile, beautiful melodies. Anata no hohoemi kirei na senritsu

Small flowers that blanket the field in the spring. Haru no nohara ichimen ni hiraku kobana

Gentle sunlight, raindrops of blessing. Yawaraka na hizashi megumi no amatsubu ga

I looked up to the heavens... Furisosogimasu youni

...so that they would pour down on us. ten o miageta

A nation with a rich history.

And the food seems delicious, too.

And their greeting isn't " good day," but " buongiorno," right?

This is my first trip overseas and I'm nervous,

but I'll be in the same group as Yoshino-san and Shimako-san, so I'll be fine.

I hope so, but...

I have a feeling something eventful is going to happen.

It is a eight-day long, seven-night trip, after all.

I'm really going to miss Rei-chan, It is a eight-day long, seven-night trip, after all.

I'm really going to miss Rei-chan,

being away from her for that long!

There are a lot of things I'm worried about,

but with a tight grip on our passports, off we go!
