Len

Listen

You were faster, Rin!

Rin

Listen

No way! Len, you were!

Plushies

Oh no...

MEIKO

Listen

Hm? What's going on? Why are you all gathered here?

Plushie A

Rin and Len were having a footrace, but they finished at the same time...

Plushies

We couldn't tell who actually finished first...

Len

That's why I'm telling you all, Rin definitely finished faster than I did...

Rin

Not true!
Len, you totally beat me by a nose!

MEIKO

That's odd. They're both saying that the other person finished first... Not many people argue for their opponent.

MEIKO

Listen

Well, in any case...
I'll watch, so why don't you two have a remat—

Nene

Listen

Oh. Hi, you guys...

MEIKO

Nene, welcome! Are you here by yourself?

Nene

Listen

Yeah...
I was hoping to go for a run here.

Rin & Len

For a run?

MEIKO

Listen

I see. To increase your stamina...

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Nene

Listen

Yeah, but today's practice went on for longer than I was expecting. It's gotten dark already...

Nene

Listen

So I was hoping that I could do my running here to be on the safe side. Mind if I do for a bit...?

MEIKO

That's fine, of course! We were just about to have a footrace of our own!

Nene

Listen

A footrace?

Rin

Listen

Yup! Nene, let's run it together!

Len

Listen

We'd love to have you!

Nene

Listen

Thanks. I think I'll join you, then.

MEIKO

Listen

Great! As for your course...

MEIKO

You'll start at the teacups, run to the tent over there, turn around and come back. How does that sound?

Nene

Listen

Sounds good.

Rin

I'm not losing this time, Len.

Len

Right back at you!

MEIKO

Listen

Then, on your marks...

MEIKO

Get set... Go!

Plushies

Let's follow them!

Plushies

Yeah!

MEIKO

Listen

What?! You're all going with them?!

MEIKO

I was planning on waiting here, but...
Hehe. In that case, I'll join you all♪

Sound Effect: Play

Nene

Listen

Huff...! Huff...!

Nene

Listen

This is rough... Right after practice too...

Rin

Huff...! Huff...!

Len

Huff...! Huff...!

Sound Effect: Play

MEIKO

Listen

(Hmm... It wasn't meant to be a very long course, but they all look exhausted...)

MEIKO

(Nene's coming here right after practicing, while Rin and Len just did a run a second ago.)

MEIKO

(If any of them start to look like they're in trouble, maybe I should stop the...)

Plushie A

Oofie!!!

MEIKO

Listen

Oh no...!

Sound Effect: Play

MEIKO

You really took a tumble there. Are you okay?

Plushie A

Y-Yeah... I'm... Ow!
My leg... I think it's coming undone...

Plushie A

*Sob*
But I wanna keep running with everyone...

Plushie B

Don't worry! Here, I'll help carry you!
We can run until the end together like this!

Plushie A

Okay! Thanks...!

MEIKO

Listen

Thank goodness...

MEIKO

Huh...?

Nene

Listen

Let's keep going!

Rin

Yeah! Let's go, Len!

Len

Listen

Okay! Plushies, you too!

Plushies

Yeah!

Sound Effect: Play

MEIKO

Yeah!

Rin

Listen

And...!

Nene, Len & MEIKO

Listen

We did it!

Plushie A

Yay! We all finished at the same time!

Nene

Listen

Huff... Huff... We really did it, Rin, Len.

Rin

Yeah! Working together like that was a lot of fun!

Len

Listen

Hehe. We even stopped caring about who actually finished first or whatever.

MEIKO

Listen

Oh, does this mean you two have made up?

Nene

Listen

Thanks for running with me, everyone. I might've given up partway through if you guys weren't there with me.

Rin

Listen

Hehe. I feel the same♪

Len

Me three!

Len

Listen

Thanks for running with us, Plushies!

Nene

Listen

Thanks.

Plushies

You're welcome!

Nene

Listen

Thank you too, MEIKO.
I feel better about myself now after actually finishing that run.

MEIKO

That's wonderful to hear!
Putting on stamina takes a lot of mental strength, so it's important to do it one step at a time!

Nene

Listen

Okay, I'll keep that in mind.

MEIKO

Listen

(I just suggested that footrace off the top of my head, but it all worked out in the end.)

MEIKO

(Must be because I'm always such a good girl♪)

MEIKO

Hehehe.
