Taichi | Sorry for the wait! |
| The nurse wasn’t there so… For now, here’s the bandages you requested, Ten-chan. |
Tenma | Thanks. Juza-san, give me your foot. |
Juza | Here. |
Tenma | I can only do as much as first aid, so you make sure to have it checked in the infirmary after the relay’s done. |
| Now like this… And there. Does it still hurt? |
Juza | No… Much better now. |
Taichi | You’re amazing, Ten-chan! |
Tenma | I learned it from Muku, actually. |
Juza | From Muku…? |
Tenma | When he was watching our forms, he recommended the manga “Your Goal Line” to me as a reference to learn more about track and field. |
| There was a scene there where someone bandaged over the injury of another. |
| I thought it’d prove useful someday, so I had Muku teach me how to do it. |
| I figured it’d be something I could use for my acting scenes in dramas or on stage. Didn’t think I’d actually do it for the real thing… |
Taichi | That’s impressive, Ten-chan! |
Juza | And ya helped me out thanks to that. |
Tenma | That’s good. Now don’t strain yourself in the next one. |
| If Muku were to hear about this, he’s gonna be downhearted, you know that right? So do this for him too. |
Taichi | You heard him, Juza-san! |
Juza | Yeah. I’m reflecting on my actions. |
Taichi | As long as you got it, all’s good! |
Announcer | The event, the class face-off relay race, is about to begin. The participating members are…. |

Taichi | Red Team won by a landslide! Congrats everyone~! |
Juza | Congrats to us. |
Tenma | Hmph, it was obvious we’d win. |
Taichi | But man, Juza-san was just super ultra-cool at the relay race, wasn’t he!? Watching him got me goosebumps~! |
Tenma | The way you came in clutch at the end and took the lead was intense. |
Juza | You two were pretty fast too. It was real impressive to watch both of ya race head-to-head ‘till the finish line. |
Taichi | Hehe, thanks!! |
Tenma | Say, how’s your foot doing, Juza-san? |
Juza | I had it checked properly after the race. Said that if I let it rest, it shouldn’t be a problem. |
Taichi | Thank god…! That’s a relief to hear. |
| Since you still got that injury, let’s head straight back home. We can save our celebrations for next time! |
Tenma | Sure thing. |
Juza | Celebration, huh… |
| … Ya wanna go for taiyaki to celebrate? You guys had hotdog last time, right. |
Taichi | …!! This is the first time Juza-san spoke up and pitched in an idea for us! |
Tenma | It’s decided then. The three of us will have celebratory taiyaki next time. |
Taichi | Yeah!! |
Juza | … I’ll look forward to it. |
