Don't forget about the special scoring system for the bamboo pole tug-of-war.
Okay, got it!
Haruka!
I can't find the bread anywhere!
You mean for the bread obstacle course? I was told they put them in the refrigerator in the teacher's office.
Oh, thank goodness!
Thanks! I'll go get them!
Phew... Looks like things are finally starting to settle down.
(And it's just the big relay race left to wrap things up. We might just finish today without any incidents.)
Ow...
Hey, are you all right? Your leg, it's really swollen. We should get you to the nurse's office!
But I'm supposed to be in the relay...
What happened?
Oh, Kiritani! Well...
You got hurt during the last race? It looks pretty swollen. You really should have the nurse look at it.
But I still need to do the relay. If I don't, I'll just be letting everyone down...
I'm sorry, but I think it would be best to go see the nurse. You don't want to make it any worse.
But...!
Don't worry. I'll run in your place.
Oh, that's right.
You're the substitute, aren't you?
Yes. I'll go let the referees know about the change. Tenma, will you make sure she gets to the nurse's office?
Of course!
I'm so sorry...
I know how busy you are...
It's not a problem.
I'll make sure to do my best.
We'll be cheering you on, Haruka!
Thanks. I don't plan on losing.
(I informed them about the switch, so everything should be set. I should practice transferring the baton pass a little more...)
Haruka!
I just heard! You're going to be in the relay?
Yeah. One of the other girls hurt her leg. I'm registered as the substitute, so I'm taking her place...
What?! Is she okay?
I hope she wasn't crying?
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.
Phew, that's a relief...
So that means you're passing the baton to me then!
Oh, I forgot that you're the runner right after me. That's quite the coincidence.
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.
Don't worry, Haruka!
We've been on the planning committee together this whole time, right?
Think about all the hard work we did!
We're the best pair around here!
So I'm sure our baton pass will be perfect!
Otori...
We still have a little time left before the relay, so let's practice some!
We have to win and make sure the girl who got hurt will smile too!
Yes, you're right... Let's win this!
And now for today's final event, the big relay.
<Oh, it's starting!
Time to cheer Emu on again!>
Mafuyu, you're the anchor in the relay, right?! Good luck!
Thanks. I'll do my best.
Haruka, you got this!!
Good luck, Kiritani!
(Time to win...!)
On your marks... Get set...
And they're off!
The third-year team have taken an early lead, followed by the second years and then the first years.
(The first years are a little behind, but we can still win if we maintain this pace...)
(We're already closing the gap between us and the third years. We can do this...!)
It looks like the second-year team is looking to move up!
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!
(This might not be as easy as I thought...)
(I need to gain as much ground on them as possible!)
Kiritani, here...!
Leave it to me!
The first years' baton is now in the hands of Haruka Kiritani from 1-C!
(I need to close that gap and get the baton to Emu as fast as possible!)
Kiritani in lane 1 is on fire! She's passed the third years and is in a dead heat with the second years!
Wow! Go, Haruka!
You're doing awesome!
You can do it, Kiritani!
(Everyone is cheering me on!
I can't let them down!)
Haruka!
It's all you, Emu!
Yup!
It's time to win!!
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!
It's all up to the anchors now!
Who will be victorious?!
She's so fast! She might be faster than everyone on the track and field team...
But Emu's right there with her!
Emu Otori and Mafuyu Asahina are neck and neck! It's still anybody's race!
Otori...!
<Emu! Emu! C'mon, you can do it!>
<Go! Go! All the way to the finish line!!>
There's no way I'm losing!
...!
And the winner is...
