Emu
Welcome to the gymnasium's storeroom!
2
Haruka
I just hope we can find everything we need for each event.
3
Haruka
I didn't realize there was a separate storeroom on campus for the gym. I thought the one inside there was the only one.
4
Emu
Oh, this is your first time out here then, Haruka?
5
Haruka
Yes. Did you know about this storeroom?
6
Emu
Yep! I found it when I went exploring after the entrance ceremony!
7
Emu
I tried to get inside but it was locked, so I had to climb up and look through the window.
8
Haruka
Wait, the window...?
You don't mean the one on the roof, do you?
9
Emu
Yeah! But I got into trouble after one of the teachers saw me up there...
10
Emu
So this is the first time I've actually been inside!
11
Haruka
I see...
12
Haruka
(She says that so nonchalantly but that window is about as high as a two-story house.)
13
Emu
Hey, it's open!
Haruka, let's go inside!
14
Haruka
Sure. It's dark, so please watch your step...
15
Emu
Nooo waaay!!!!
16
Haruka
Wh-What happened?!
17
Emu
Look, Haruka! Bamboo poles! This means we can do the bamboo tug-of-war event!
18
Haruka
Is that all? You scared me there...
19
Haruka
I don't think I've ever seen anyone get so excited over bamboo poles before.
20
Emu
Hm? What do you think this is?
21
Haruka
They might be old class flags. It looks like someone spent a lot of time on them too.
22
Emu
You're right!
They've got some really cool designs!
23
Emu
It'd be fun to use in some sort of show! We could hoist them during the climax and...
24
Haruka
A show?
25
Haruka
You mentioned a show during the meeting too. Do you enjoy seeing shows and performances?
26
Emu
Huh? Oh, I forgot to tell you...
27
Emu
I'm a cast member for the Show Stage at Phoenix Wonderland!
28
Emu
We work hard every day to put smiles on the faces of everyone who comes to visit♪
29
Haruka
Smiles on everyone's faces...?
That's a wonderful goal.
30
Emu
Yup! We're always trying to come up with super fun shows! You should come see one sometime, Haruka!
31
Haruka
Hehe, I imagine any show with you in it would be fun. I'll have to make time to visit.
32
Emu
Really?! Awesome!!
33
Emu
Oh wait! We're here to find things for the Sports Festival! Let's keep looking, Haruka!
34
Haruka
Sure. I hope we're able to find what we need for the more interesting events.
A few days later
35
Saki
Um, excuse me! I made a sample announcement flyer for Sports Festival. Could you take a look?
36
Committee Member A
Let's see...
Breaking away from last year's program, this year's Sports Festival will feature events that all students can enjoy together.
37
Committee Member A
Have you come up with a list of which events you'd like us to do?
38
Committee Member A
We'll need to make lists for which students will be competing in each event as well.
39
Saki
Um, well...
40
Emu
Here ya go!
A list of events hot off the press!
41
Saki
E-Emu?!
42
Emu
Hehehe! Haruka and I dug through the storeroom the other day and found all sorts of stuff we can to use♪
43
Emu
We're looking over old guidebooks to arrange an event schedule too!
44
Committee Member A
Arrange...?
45
Emu
Yep! We want to make sure there are events that even the busier students can participate in without needing to practice much!
46
Emu
I'm actually on my way to meet her and work on it right now.
47
Committee Member A
What? But it'll be dark soon. Isn't it a bit late today?
48
Saki
I thought I noticed Haruka staying late the past few days. Is that because you two have been working on the event schedule?
49
Emu
Yup!
50
Committee Member A
I didn't realize...
51
Emu
Hehehe! We're gonna bring you a list of events to the next meeting that'll definitely put smiles on everyone's faces! See you then♪
52
Committee Member A

53
Haruka
Phew... That's the last of them.
54
Emu
Great!
These all look super fun☆
55
Haruka
(We managed to finish the event schedule, but now we need to come up with participant lists.)
56
Haruka
(We need one for each event that combines all the grade levels too. This might get a little complicated...)
57
Haruka
(But we suggested it, so we have to take responsibility and get it done somehow...)
58
Emu
This event's definitely gonna make all the less athletic girls every grade smile! Don't you think so, Haruka?!
59
Haruka
Hehe. Yeah, I think so too.
Let's keep at it.
The next day
60
Saki
Here, Haruka!
This is a list of participants.
61
Haruka
Huh...? Did you put this together, Tenma?
62
Haruka
For every event... This must have been a lot of work.
63
Saki
Oh, I didn't do this all by myself.
The other committee members helped too!
64
Haruka
Wait, really?
I thought they were all too busy...
65
Saki
I think seeing you and Emu work so hard motivated them to help out a little more.
66
Saki
They all even said that they want to see everyone enjoying the Sports Festival too!
67
Haruka
Oh...!
68
Saki
I have a feeling this year's Sports Festival is gonna be a really good one!
69
Haruka
I see. That's wonderful.
70
Emu
Haruka, look! The balls for the ball toss turned out super cute♪
71
Saki
Wow! Pink and blue ones too!
They really are cute!
72
Emu
Hehehe! This'll make things even more fun♪
73
Haruka
Hehe.
74
Emu
Oh, I completely forgot...! I have practice for the three-legged race today!
75
Saki
We're supposed to be teaming up with girls from the higher grades this year, right?
76
Haruka
Yes. I thought it'd be nice for younger students to mingle with the older ones since they usually don't get the chance to...
77
Emu
Gotta go! See you later!
78
Haruka
Okay.
Good luck at practice.
