Okay, the traditional crafts workshop should be around here somewhere...

This map says there should be a big sign just up ahead. Want me to run ahead to look?

No, stop! We don't want to cause the locals any trouble! This city's a place of taste and elegance. Some kid from who knows where running around is the opposite of those things.

Also, there should be others who chose this workshop. If worst comes to worst and we get lost, we can just try getting ahold of one of them...

I agree with you about the running bit...

But you really never plan ahead, do you?

I know, right? You're the same during matches. That's why the coach and the captain are always giving you an earful.

Wh-What does club have to do with this?! Guys, we're on our school trip! Let's talk about our teacups! Have you guys already decided how you're gonna make yours?

Yes, I have!

I even sketched a design for mine!

A design?

Yes, here...!

It's going to look like a star when seen from above!

...

Why the silence? Has my brilliant design left you all speechless?

Really? We're speechless for the opposite reason.

Tenma, try reading the description of this activity for us again...

Hm? “This activity involves throwing your own teacup using a wheel.” So...

Yeah, a wheel.

How are you gonna turn something that's spinning into a star?

Hah! I will not be foiled so easily!

See? “Our ceramicist will guide you to creating your desired shape.”

I think a star is taking that too far...

I feel bad for the ceramicist...

Let's just make some normal-looking ones.

Yeah...

Hey, check it out.

Mine turned out pretty well.

Yeah, it looks really good!

Mine's sorta starting to look like a flower vase...

I think that makes it unique.

I mean, it definitely looks more like a teacup than what Tenma has.

I heard that...!

Don't take jabs at me while I'm trying to focus... Huh?!

Noooooo!

My teacup! I finally made a neat point, and now I have to start over again!

I must've spun it too fast this time. I should slow it down a bit and be more careful...

Honestly, Tenma, you probably shouldn't be using a wheel at all...

But that would defeat the purpose of this activity! I refuse to surrender!

We'll take the teacups you all made and prepare them to be fired in our kiln. I hope you're all looking forward to seeing how they turn out.

Yes, thank you for having us today!

Thank you!

This really was a wonderful experience.

They said it's going to take two weeks until they're finished, yes?

Yeah, because they have to wait for them to dry before they can be fired. After that, they have to mail them out.

Then, I'll eagerly be awaiting the arrival of the world's one-and-only teacup made by yours truly to see how it turned out!

None of us were expecting you to actually make a star-shaped teacup. The look on that ceramicist's face when you showed them your sketch...

I mean, how are you actually gonna drink out of that?

What?! I have five whole points all to myself!

The nice thing about a round teacup is that you have 360 whole degrees available to you.

Haha! You know logic doesn't work on Tenma!

Oh? You make fun of someone else's work, but what about your own teacups? Did they turn out the way you wanted? Some of you finished very early...

Because it wasn't actually that hard to do it normally.

Anyway, due to someone taking more time than expected to make his teacup, we don't have much time before we need to meet back up with everyone else.

Hm? Is it already time to head back to the inn?

No, we still have time for lunch.

Plus, the workshop was within earshot of the inn.

True. Then, let's grab some lunch and go for a walk around this area as scheduled.

Yeah! Oh, we should see what snacks are available along the way!

For souvenirs?

No, for after we head back to the inn.

Ah, I see. But try not to eat too much. You wouldn't want to spoil your appetite before dinner.

Relax, Mom, I won't!

Hahaha.

Haha!
