Haruka

Don't forget about the special scoring system for the bamboo pole tug-of-war.

2

1st Year Committee Member

Okay, got it!

3

Emu

Haruka!
I can't find the bread anywhere!

4

Haruka

You mean for the bread obstacle course? I was told they put them in the refrigerator in the teacher's office.

5

Emu

Oh, thank goodness!
Thanks! I'll go get them!

Haruka

Phew... Looks like things are finally starting to settle down.

7

Haruka

(And it's just the big relay race left to wrap things up. We might just finish today without any incidents.)

8

Classmate

Ow...

Saki

Hey, are you all right? Your leg, it's really swollen. We should get you to the nurse's office!

10

Classmate

But I'm supposed to be in the relay...

11

Haruka

What happened?

12

Ichika

Oh, Kiritani! Well...

13

Haruka

You got hurt during the last race? It looks pretty swollen. You really should have the nurse look at it.

14

Classmate

But I still need to do the relay. If I don't, I'll just be letting everyone down...

15

Haruka

I'm sorry, but I think it would be best to go see the nurse. You don't want to make it any worse.

16

Classmate

But...!

17

Haruka

Don't worry. I'll run in your place.

18

Ichika

Oh, that's right.
You're the substitute, aren't you?

19

Haruka

Yes. I'll go let the referees know about the change. Tenma, will you make sure she gets to the nurse's office?

20

Saki

Of course!

21

Classmate

I'm so sorry...
I know how busy you are...

22

Haruka

It's not a problem.
I'll make sure to do my best.

23

Saki

We'll be cheering you on, Haruka!

24

Haruka

Thanks. I don't plan on losing.

25

Haruka

(I informed them about the switch, so everything should be set. I should practice transferring the baton pass a little more...)

26

Emu

Haruka!

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

27

Emu

I just heard! You're going to be in the relay?

28

Haruka

Yeah. One of the other girls hurt her leg. I'm registered as the substitute, so I'm taking her place...

29

Emu

What?! Is she okay?
I hope she wasn't crying?

30

Haruka

She's fine. A couple of the other girls took her to the nurse's office. I think she just twisted her ankle a little.

31

Emu

Phew, that's a relief...

32

Emu

So that means you're passing the baton to me then!

33

Haruka

Oh, I forgot that you're the runner right after me. That's quite the coincidence.

34

Haruka

To be honest, I'm a little worried about being able to pass you the baton. I haven't done a relay since elementary school.

35

Emu

Don't worry, Haruka!

36

Emu

We've been on the planning committee together this whole time, right?

37

Emu

Think about all the hard work we did!
We're the best pair around here!

38

Emu

So I'm sure our baton pass will be perfect!

39

Haruka

Otori...

40

Emu

We still have a little time left before the relay, so let's practice some!

41

Emu

We have to win and make sure the girl who got hurt will smile too!

42

Haruka

Yes, you're right... Let's win this!

43

Announcer

And they're off!

52

Announcer

The third-year team have taken an early lead, followed by the second years and then the first years.

53

Haruka

(The first years are a little behind, but we can still win if we maintain this pace...)

54

Haruka

(We're already closing the gap between us and the third years. We can do this...!)

55

Announcer

It looks like the second-year team is looking to move up!

56

Announcer

And they've taken the lead! Now, we have the third years in second with the first years right on their heels! This is going to be a nail biter, folks!

57

Haruka

(This might not be as easy as I thought...)

58

Haruka

(I need to gain as much ground on them as possible!)

59

Relay Member

Kiritani, here...!

60

Haruka

Leave it to me!

61

Announcer

The first years' baton is now in the hands of Haruka Kiritani from 1-C!

62

Haruka

(I need to close that gap and get the baton to Emu as fast as possible!)

63

Announcer

Kiritani in lane 1 is on fire! She's passed the third years and is in a dead heat with the second years!

64

Saki

Wow! Go, Haruka!
You're doing awesome!

65

Ichika

You can do it, Kiritani!

66

Haruka

(Everyone is cheering me on!
I can't let them down!)

Haruka

It's all you, Emu!

69

Emu

Yup!

70

Emu

It's time to win!!

71

Announcer

Kiritani brought the first years back into a fight for first place! She passes her baton to Otori just as the second years pass theirs!

72

Announcer

It's all up to the anchors now!
Who will be victorious?!

73

Ichika

She's so fast! She might be faster than everyone on the track and field team...

74

Honami

But Emu's right there with her!

75

Announcer

Emu Otori and Mafuyu Asahina are neck and neck! It's still anybody's race!

76

Mafuyu

Otori...!

77

Miku

<Emu! Emu! C'mon, you can do it!>

78

Miku

<Go! Go! All the way to the finish line!!>

79

Emu

There's no way I'm losing!

80

Mafuyu

...!
