Give me a break! You're supposed to be the Student Council President! Hulk out some energy!
After all, to actually scrape off our precious holidays. Do you think this event is even of that importance, Miyamura?
I agree, President.
More importantly, it's barbaric to compete in sports!
True enough.
Why don't we try laying down our reasons in front of the school board, or something.
That sounds good.
This is the epitome of war! -This puts forth stain on humankind!
I've had enough of that conversation.
So? Which team are you in, Sengoku?
I think it was Team East?
I see, good to have you in the same team.
Wait, so, you guys are separated?
What? We didn't break up. Want me to beat you up?
No, that's not what I meant! Which side are you both on?
The teams during this school festival aren't grouped by class, but by 2 cardinal directions.
Well, for the meanwhile, let's make sure we don't lose against Toru and Miyamura who are in Team West.
Do your best!
I meant, WE need to do our best! Put in your best efforts!
I guess, I can't skip the activities now unlike in my 1st and 2nd year.
What's wrong? Do you feel ill?
I was practicing the cheer dance steps just a while ago.
Oh, today's the cheer practice for the West Army Team?
Yeah, I don't have good rhythm, though. I can't even remember how to swing.
That's why I need to rehearse more.
I see.
Is that the part of the dance that both teams must do?
You do it this way. Right swing: when the right hand is up, the left hand is on the chest.
Come on, let's do it together.
Roll, point up-side.
That's right, you got it. One more time. 1, 2, 3, 4.
They're both in opposite teams. Just what are they doing?
That's fine. Looks like they're having fun.
I kinda understand where the President is coming from.
I didn't have good memories in school before. I'm not good in taking actions.
You've got good motor skills, though! You should at least join any ball games!
What~?
Don't give me that!
I'm also participating with everything I've got.
Will you cheer me on?
Of course!
Even when we're in different teams?
Even so...
I'll make sure to be there to see you through it.
That sounds good.
Over at my end, we had it in June so it's long over.
What game will you be participating in?
Or will it be the usual: skipping it again?
Well, I haven't decided yet. Ball games, perhaps?
Is that what I think it is? Are you finally motivated to join?
Yeah, surprisingly enough.
The heck!
That would be a first for you, then.
I'm glad. You've finally decided to do so at the very end.
Well...
You gotta show off who you are now to your middle schooler self!

HORIMIYA
Thanks for waiting! I finally got our class' Tournament t-shirts!
Thank you!
This is for Team West!
East Team? Here's yours!
By the way, have you decided which game you're joining?
Nope, not yet.
How about basketball? I'm in it, too.
What? No way! That brings too much attention! Let the athletes join that!
That's way better compared to external competition.
Okay? Let's join together!
Miyamura, you're Team West. You good with medium?
Large fits me better.
Okay, here you go.
I need large too from Team West. Are there any left?
Aren't you a Physical Education committee member? Help me out!
My bad.
How about Hori's?
I got hers for Team East.
She's helping out the Student Council right now. It's fine, I'll bring this over to her.
It's really cold today, ain't it?
Yeah, should've worn a sweater today.
True.
Hori, aren't you feeling cold out here?
It is! You know, we've got our legs bare.
Take this then.
Better than nothing.
Hey, wait---! Mizouchi⁉
Return it when you're done.
Are you done?
God, you startled me!
Not yet, just a bit more.
Whose blazer is that?
Oh, Mizouchi let me borrow it since it was cold out here.
Hey, the black paint is smudged at that side.
This is bad! Can you hand me the white paint?
It's fine. I'll help you do it.
Your t-shirt.
Thanks!
I wonder how the points will go on this tomorow.
I hope we get a good game.
Wouldn't it be better if we paint after the rest is dry?
５, ６, ７, ８…。
Go, go, East!
Cheer, cheer, East!
Go, go, fire up!
Hurrah!
Let's go, let's go!
Ｗ･Ｅ･Ｓ･Ｔ, West Army!
Let's go, West! Let's go, West!
Ｗ･Ｅ･Ｓ･Ｔ, West Army!
Let's go, fire up! Let's go, fire up!
Kono!
Yoshikawa!
You worked so hard! -You too!
You guys did so great!
Really? Thank you for teaching me!
Yay!
You were so cute back there. -Really?
You looked so cool too! -Thank you!
I'm glad things went smoothly. A lot of us were wearing long sleeves.
Have you decided which sports you're playing?
Volleyball. That's all that was left that needed members.
I see. You're finally joining the ball games.
I do need to win against you this year.
Next tournament, calling all 3rd year female participants for table tennis...
Heck, I have to get going.
Yeah, good luck!
Look at this, such a remarkable showdown between Ayasaki and Remi!
Playing for the sake of playing is so boring. Why don't we make a bet?
Huh? What about?
How about I have Miyamura?
Huh?!... Hey, wait! What are you doing!
Set!
I can't win against an amazon like you.
You don't have to play that tough!
Miyamura calls you just as "Kyouko." How about if he calls you "Kyon Kyon"?
What?
Really, you~
Oh? Ayasaki's surprisingly strong!
Hori looks a bit upset.
What?
Hori! Do you best!
What? He's cheering for Hori?
Shouldn't it be Remi?
Hey, hey! Don't you go on cheering for the enemy!
Look! Hori got back at her!
See?!
This is looking good.
I'm sorry, Kyon Kyon.
Seriously, that was so unfair!
I had to or else, I can't win.
Listen up.
Thanks for your hardwork!
I lost, though.
You were in good shape during practice. What happened?
Well, uhh...
A lot happened.
But it was a great catch-up, wasn't it?
It's all thanks to you.
I heard you cheer out loud for me.
Thank you.
This is so nice. I do want to have you after all, Miyamura.
What do you mean?
You know what?
Hey, it's nothing! Let's go! I'm thirsty!
It's fine, you can rest. I'll go buy some for you.
On top of it all, he's so kind. I like how he is.
No way.
You can't have him. I'm not giving him to you.
Stingy!
So? How'd it go?
Looks like she got back her good energy.
There's no person who wouldn't be happy getting cheered on.
Hey, Mizouchi! What game are you playing?
Basketball.
You're from Team East, right?
We're going head to head, then!
Huh?
Hey, what was that about?
Might be because of me.
Seems like he likes Hori.
What? Just how popular is she though?!
Look at that. It got stolen from you.
You think I can still change which ball game to join?
Hey, the game's about to start. Hurry up!
You've come this far, of course, you don't want to lose!
True.
The outcome of this game...
...will be decided through "our basketball".
"Our"?
Yeah, Miyamura's participating too. Right?
Wait, wait, wait!
No way! To get motivated to play all on your own, you are a traitor!
More over, why are you even here, Sengoku?
Oh, it seems like my team didn't have enough members, so they decided to have me join as well.
If you say it with that much joy, it puts us in a tight spot.
Sorry, hide me for a while longer.
I knew you'd be here!
W-Why're you here?!
More like, you stick out so much. Alright, surrender and come with me!
I don't wanna! Don't wanna! Stop it! Help me! Somebody, help!
Will they be okay?
I hope Sengoku doesn't get his bones broken.
Ladies and gentlemen! Are we all ready now?
3rd Year Male players for the 3-on-3 basketball!
Alright, which team do you think will win this tournament?
Ready!
President!
President! Swing the ball back to me!
Alright!
That won't get in the ring!
President, that was traveling!
Do your best!
Stop, no!
You rascal, Sengoku! Don't you run away! Do a dunk! Dunk!
No! That's impossible for him.
Look over there!
Oh? It's Miyamura!
Don't you think he's taking this so seriously?
Miyamura, you're being targeted! Pass it to me!
Hey!
What's going on? This isn't a national game.
You're the cause of it all, actually.
Huh?
That's a battle between men.
Whose blazer is that?
Oh, Mizouchi let me borrow it since it was cold out here.
A little bit more. -Just a 1 point difference.
Time-wise, our next offense is the last shot. If you think you have it, go for it.
Got it. I'll try.
I'm sure they won't do it.
Alright, let's go!
Pass, pass! Hey, Miyamura!
He's really in a tight spot, as expected.
You got it! Miyamura!
Kick their asses!
You both aren't even in the same team!
Yay!
Nice shot!
Did we win?
You're the best!
We did it!
I lost, huh?
Oh?
The girls are taking a group picture so they let me borrow this.
How do I look? I'm mimicking Remi.
You look cute. So cute!
You idiot! Idiot, idiot! Stupid-Mura!
Hori! You look so cute!
You look very cute in it!
You look like you're having fun.
To think that you hated these kinds of stuff the most, right?
I know you still can't figure it out at this point...
But if you wait a little bit longer, you will find someone who will deal with the "you" who is weak...
...which will in turn, let you make friends with a lot of people.
Like, making friends with a slightly weak Student Council President, or even get along with these 2 friends.
You will also get to forge a friendship with a kind-hearted boy and girl.
After that...
There comes along someone who will cry and laugh with you...
Sulk with you, get angry with you...
Someone who will even scold you.
That's why...
[A/N: I'M CRYING! I LOVE THIS SCENE!]
I see.
I'm happy to hear you had fun.
Yes, finally. At the very least, in the end.
If your middle school self would see you right now...
I'm sure he'll be content.
I hope so.
What if I get caught, I'd be in trouble.
You can just put the blame on him.
That's a good idea.
He's all alone so no one would know.
Come on, just leave him.
You better do more next time!
