And so, these gentlemen have been selected to join the cheer squad for the Sports Festival.
Rui's Classmate A
Um... Thank you for choosing us!
We'll do everything we can to get the blue team as excited as we can!

Rui's Classmate B
We'll be counting on your support, so let's all give it our best shot!
Teacher
The theme of this year's cheering competition will be the “Three Kingdoms”. I realize that you have a lot of work ahead of you, but I'll be looking forward to seeing it.

(Our school's cheering competition's often touted as a famed tradition, but I wonder what it's really like...)

Male Students
Hey, did your class already decide who's gonna be on the cheer squad?
Male Students
Yeah. Ours are already meeting up, so I've gotta think the other classes are all squared away too. Rumor has it that the red team's super hyped...
Rui
(The Sports Festival, or rather the cheer squads, seem to be all everyone's talking about...)

We're supposed to come up with ideas for the cheering competition, but the thing is... It's pretty freestyle.
Mizuki
I can come up with ideas and stuff...
But if we're serious about winning, we'll probably need to come up with something really original, right?

An
What you did for the wedding that one time was so awesome. That's when we thought you'd be able to help us out with this.
Rui
But my class already chose its members for the cheer squad. Would it be okay for someone like me to...?
An
Oh, we already got the green light for that! Last time, they had a squad member's mom direct everything because she just happened to be a dance teacher.
Mizuki
Which means you don't actually have to participate in the cheering competition to support them.
Rui
(Based on what I've heard, Kamiyama High's cheering competition is supposed to be a show that “captivates the audience”. On top of being very interesting, it's an honor to be a part of that.)
Rui
(I'll need to see the scope of my “stage” and make sure to communicate well with each squad member, who aren't actors by trade. In many ways, this is going to be an intriguing technical test...)
Mizuki
Hm? That face...
Does this mean you're interested but conflicted? You still have your PXL shows to worry about, so...

Mizuki
I know. The next time you're free, you could pop in to introduce yourself to everyone on the cheer squad!
An
Yeah. I'm sure you'll get a better idea of what to do once you get a chance to speak with the captain.
An
Your help is bound to make our performance a great one, so please stop by if you get a chance! We meet every day!
Rui
Yes. I have some time later today, so would you mind showing me where everyone will be meeting?
Rui
(Mizuki being this interested in a school event... I can't help but wonder if something's going on...)

Blue Squad Members
Huh? Kamishiro...?
From the Weirdo Wombo Combo...?

Blue Squad Members
He's the super helper that the captain and the others were talking about...?
Rui
(Also, they weren't expecting me to be brought here so soon... I suppose their reactions are warranted based on my reputation at school.)
An
For those who don't already know Kamishiro... Oh, who am I kidding? Since we're all here, let's go around and introduce ourselves.
???
If you don't mind, I'd like to say something before we start.
Blue Squad Captain
The third-year captain of the blue team's cheer squad. Please, call me “Captain”.
Blue Squad Captain
Yes, I'm well aware of who you are, Kamishiro. Having you on board to help us with our performance will be a huge shot in the arm for us.
Blue Squad Captain
Now, I'd like to get down to nuts and bolts...
Blue Squad Captain
R-Right...
I apologize for getting ahead of myself.

Rui
I must apologize as well...
I'm certainly interested in trying my hand at something new like the cheering competition...

I see...
It would be unfair of us to ask you to dive straight into the deep end.

However, there's something I need you to hear before we discuss any details regarding our performance.

The passion I feel for the Sports Festival!
