But we still have the cheering competition during the second half! We still have a chance, so we've gotta get ourselves ready for that!

The final showdown.
Just like last time, we're going to win by putting on a performance that proves how far beneath me you are.

Blue Squad Captain
Yes, let us wish each other the best of luck...

Hm? What's this...?
Have you already accepted defeat?

No...

Blue Squad Captain
Now... My fellow squad members and I just need to do our best during this performance. They were willing to bet on my passion, so I want to light a fire inside them.
Red Squad Captain
Hah. You talk big, but what's the point in putting on a performance that has no chance of winning?
Red Squad Captain
I'm not losing to that.
You'll soon realize that we've pulled out all the stops for our performance. Now, if you'll excuse me...!

Yeah! Especially when you said, “They were willing to bet on my passion...” That was so cool!
Blue Squad Captain
I-It was?
I'm not sure what to say...

Mizuki
Still, I threw down the gauntlet just now, so we're going to have to put on an incredible performance.
Rui
(But this is the final Sports Festival for those two... I'm sure the captain of the red team's feeling just as passionate...)
Rui
(Tsukasa and the others aren't going to pull any punches. I'm sure they have something spectacular in store for us...)
Rui
For now, I guess I'll just sit back and watch their performance as a member of the audience.

The theme for this year is the “Three Kingdoms”. Our first performance will be by our current leaders, the red team.

Alright, red team, take it away.

I've been wondering why he's been coming home all exhausted lately. This must've been why.)

(Interesting. They seem to be going with something fairly standard, but we'll see how this plays out...)
Toya
Tsukasa's voice must be permeating the entire school... No, probably outside the campus too. He certainly knows how to set the mood.
Rui
(A three-three-seven clapping beat that makes full use of Tsukasa's tremendous voice. It's not a bad idea, but this doesn't seem like anything all that special...)

Toya
The way he's waving the flag is also very beautiful. He's like a horse galloping across a battlefield.

The horse that could cover hundreds of miles in a single day...)

Wow! His voice is amazing...

Tsukasa
Yes, he was reluctant at first, but he gladly accepted after I explained to him that we needed his help and that only he could fill this part for the red team's cheer squad!

Hey, were they always on the cheer squad?

Mizuki
The seats for the blue and green teams are being surrounded by members of the red team! When did that happen?!
Rui
(This must be their way of showing that they're “invading” the blue and green “kingdoms”.)
Rui
I have to commend them for incorporating today's seating arrangement into their performance like this.

Everyone on the red cheer squad, thank you all very much. Next, we have the green team. Please start getting ready for your performance.

Especially all the singing!
It was hard not to feel overwhelmed when they all surrounded us like that.

Yeah...
Tsukasa's booming voice and singing were really amazing too. Inspiring and empowering at the same time, you know?

Rui
Shinonome also did a wonderful job. I couldn't believe how he ran around at the speed he did and managed to catch his breath before singing.
Blue Squad Captain
I agree. The red team's performance was no doubt incredible. It clearly accomplished its goal of “encouraging” the red team.
Blue Squad Captain
However, with that in mind, I believe our performance is nothing to sneeze at, no...?
Rui
Everyone was even willing to practice the idea I decided to include at the last minute.
Rui
Thanks to that, I have a feeling that our performance is something truly special. Which just leaves...
Rui
As it stands, the blue team is in last place... A part of me was worried that we'd be too demoralized to keep competing.
Rui
But that's also why our performance will mean just that much more to our fellow teammates.
