I'm gonna go warm up for a bit.

Oh, right. You're supposed to be in the scavenger hunt.

Yeah! Break a leg, Red Hare!

Ugh... Will you please...?

Hm...?

Heya, Li'l Bro! What's up?

You getting ready for the scavenger hunt too?

Yeah. Wait, Toya, why are you here?

I just happened to be nearby.

Also, I'm interested in seeing the scavenger hunt.

We were just talking about how he should've asked to be in it.

Yeah, why didn't you?

I was told that I should be in the ball toss based on my height. Apparently, some people have trouble just getting the ball to reach the basket.

Okay...?

(Toya isn't exactly great at ball sports...

But I guess his height does give him an advantage.)

Oh, Akito.

Hm?

I asked Akiyama this question earlier, but what kind of assignment are you hoping to draw?

I'm hoping for towels since everyone's probably got one.

I see.

I guess... As long as it's not a person.

A person?

Yeah. For example, “someone tall”. That means I'd probably have to find someone that's as tall as you.

Wait, you can't just bring yourself?

Nope. Neither you nor anything on your person can be turned in during the hunt.

Also, the rule about having to treat everything as “objects” is pretty lame since it means we have to carry whatever we find.

To be fair, you can pull whatever you find or whoever you choose by hand if you have trouble schlepping it or them.

That's sort of my point. There's a huge gray area but it's up to us to judge what's actually allowed. I don't want to be called out in the end for “breaking the rules”...

I see. It's not just about speed.

Your luck also plays a role in how well you do.

Yup... Which is why I don't want to draw something that involves another person.

Haha. Yeah, I get what you mean.

Unfortunately, Li'l Bro, I think you just jinxed yourself. Remember what happened at the Chocolate Factory?

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, Toya, mind lending me a hand with some stretches?

Yes, of course.

The Kamiyama High School Sports Festival has begun! Our opening event is turning into a heated battle for first place between the red and blue teams!

Alright, first one here...

Oh, Shinonome from the red team's got his assignment! Everyone, can you guess what it says?!

Huh?!

“Someone with a very loud voice.”

(You've gotta be kidding me...!)

Someone!

I need an accessory with a ribbon motif!

...!

Smell you later, Li'l Bro!

Grr...!

Why'd you have to go and do that, Ena...?!

Ugh... Looks like I don't have a choice...

*Sigh*

It's only the first event and I already feel exhausted...

(But I guess it all worked out in the end since I still somehow managed to get first...)

Huh...?!

Hehe. Congratulations...

Hey, what are you taking a picture for?

Also, why are you here?

I left something here and came to get it. This one's to show Mom when I get home.

What? She doesn't have to see that.

Aww, but that scavenger hunt was so fun. I mean, look, my video turned out so well.

<Hah hah hah!

We're cruising past everyone!>

<I know! Please, just be quiet for a bit...!>

What do you think? Outside of me shaking the camera by accident when Mizuki fell, it's pretty good, right?

You had to go and take this too...?

So? I got you basking in the limelight, didn't I? And you're in the cheering competition, right? I'm looking forward to seeing your performance.

Huh? You just came to pick up something, right? Go home already.

Fine, be that way. Anyway, I'll see you later.

Ugh...

Hey, there he is!

Akito, nice job!

We were joking about you being the Red Hare, but you did amazing!

Look, I didn't really have a choice.

Haha! But the red team's in first place thanks to you!

Let's keep this up!

Yeah, we're definitely in it to win it...

Exactly! Let's go, red team!

Yeah!
