| Athletic Meet Committee Member | Next up, we’ll be deciding the participating students and the running order for the class-to-class relay face-off. |
| Please speak up if you’d like to be a candidate, or if you have any person you’d like to recommend for the line-up. |
| Taichi | Me, me! I’d like to join the relay! |
| As for the running order, I’d like to be the anchor, if that’s possible! |
| Athletic Meet Committee Member | Ohh, Nanao-kun as the anchor, huh? |
| Taichi | My record time for short-distance is pretty fast… So I’d like to give it a shot. |
| (My first and foremost goal is to become popular after all… I’ve not lost sight of my goal, so this is just one more step to that very mission…!!) |
| Classmate A | That’s true. Nanao is rather speedy, so why not? |
| Classmate B | Right? I’ll put my vote in. |
| Athletic Meet Committee Member | Looks like everyone’s in accord. It’s settled; Nanao-kun will be in the anchor position. |
| Taichi | Thank youuu! I’ll make sure to give my one-hundred-percent into it! |
| |
| *SCHOOL CHIME* |
| Classmate A | See ya, Nanao! |
| Taichi | See ya! |
| Alright, it’s about time to head home… Huh? |
| Tenma | ….. |
| Taichi | Ten-chan! Heading home? |
| Tenma | O-Oh. Yeah, I am… |
| Taichi | …?? What’re you scoping around the area for? |
| Tenma | Uhh, it’s nothing—— |
| Taichi | …Oh right! Igawa-san said he couldn’t pick you up today, didn’t he? |
| Tenma | !! |
| Taichi | You should’ve said so sooner~ Let’s go home together then! I’ll be your buddy for today. |
| Tenma | … Alright. |
| O-High Student A | …Eek! T-That scared me…! |
| O-High Student B | Woah, why’s he…?! |
| Taichi | Hm? |
| Tenma | What’s going on? The crowd there suddenly went quiet. |
| O-High Student C | No way, why is that person here… This is the second year’s floor, isn’t it… |
| Juza | …. |
| Taichi | Ah! |
| Juza-saaaan! What’s the matter? |
| Juza | Oh… I wasn’t sure what day it was when Tenma wasn’t gonna get picked up after school. So I came here to ask. |
| Tenma | !! |
| Taichi | So you were thinking ‘bout it too, huh! Turns out, that very day is today, so what’re we waiting for? Let’s head home together! |
| Juza | That so. Alright, let’s go then. |
| Taichi | Let’s, let’s! Hehe, it feels a lot more reassuring now that Juza-san’s here too. |
| Tenma | You guys… Thanks. |
| Taichi | Ohh what’s this? Don’t like a stranger to us now~ |
| Juza | You’ve gotta make the most of what you got. |
| |
| Taichi | Hey hey, since the three of us are walking together anyway, we should grab n’ go get some munchies while we’re at it. |
| Tenma | Grab and… Go? |
| Taichi | You know, buying some food, eating there, then eating some more while we walk back home. |
| Tenma | I see… |
| Taichi | I recently found out about this food truck parked near the shopping district and I’ve been craving for their hotdogs there! |
| I think they’ve also got taiyaki too, Juza-san. |
| Juza | —!! I wanna try some. |
| Tenma | …Guess I’ll have to come along then. |
| Taichi | Okay! Now that it’s decided, let’s go, go, go—!! |
