Sports Festival 3 - Epilogue 1

[nebulancer]

Tsukasa: ......

Yuzuru: You seem upset, Tsukasa-sama.

Tsukasa: Fushimi-senpai... Although he's but an alternate, Leader is nowhere to be seen. At this rate, he won't be here until the end.

I doubt he even realizes he's a member of this club.

Aah, I shouldn't be irritated. I'll eat something sweet and calm down...♪

Chew chew, chew chew.

Yuzuru: I can't recommend eating candy before an event. What will you do if the archery outfit gets dirtied? I'm confiscating that, Tsukasa-sama♪

Tsukasa: Um, could you return them later? Onee-sama made them for me.

Yuzuru: Of course I'll return them after the event's ended. Anzu-san seems to have a penchant for candy-making as well, correct?

Tsukasa: Yes. I knew that she had made candies since some time ago.

When I began consuming almost all of my candy, which was caused by Stress from Leader, Onee-sama made more for me.

She doesn't do so every day, of course.

Today, Onee-sama made a bento and candy in addition. I'm truly grateful to her♪

Unfortunately, I couldn't eat the bento Onee-sama made for me. If I'd known in advance, I would have eaten my fill of it.

Keito: Fushimi, Suou.

Tsukasa: Ah, Hasumi-senpai. You couldn't find Leader after all?

Keito: No. There was talk that someone had seen him, but after searching, I couldn't find him.

It seems he planned to take part in the cheering battle too.

I heard that he went to pick up something he forgot and never returned... He probably got lost.

Tsukasa: It's upsetting how frequently he gets lost. Does that person even know he's a member of the archery club?

Moreover, he doesn't seem to be conscious of his place as the Leader of "Knights," or so I would surmise.

Keito: We won't have any more time left if we search for Tsukinaga any longer. It's a given that he's less seen around than before, after all.

Fortunately, we have enough members. Let's challenge the club relay with our remaining members of the archery club.

Tsukasa: Yes. The club Relay looks to have the Track club as well. I've heard tell that they were doing special training for this day in particular.

They're the fastest, so they're the most formidable. I don't plan to lose, but challenging them without precaution will put us in danger.

Keito: Of course. If we're taking them on, we won't let it end in an unsightly way.

Yuzuru: Hasumi-sama, will we be running with these outfits?

Compared to the Archery club's uniforms, the Track club's uniforms seem overwhelmingly easier to run in.

Keito: There's no helping that we're at a disadvantage. Since the club relay requires that we wear what we usually do during club activities...

In our case, we're wearing the archery outfits and bow for the Archery club.

We might not be able to run as we do usually, but... I'll do everything I can. You two, work hard as well.

Tsukasa: Yes! I'll respond to your expectations!

Yuzuru: I shall run with all my might in line with your expectations♪

Mitsuru: Uu~... Mike-chan-senpai's not here, yanno. Arashi-chan-senpai, have you seen him?

Arashi: Huh, you haven't heard from Mama? His class relied on him for a lot of different things, so he contacted me, saying he couldn't make it here.

So let's work hard in Mama's place♪

Mitsuru: Okay~. It's a shame, but I understand.

Yeah! We're gonna work hard in Mike-chan-senpai's place, and the Track club'll take first place☆

Arashi: Ufufu. Hard-working boys really are the treasures of this world♪

Mitsuru: Don't say that. You work hard too, yanno. I don't want you to mislead by "doing everything in moderation," yanno.

Arashi: Of course I'm not holding back. I'm not going to go at it seriously, but I'm planning to do my best in moderation.

Look, Mitsuru-chan, you're the first one up. Go line up.

I'm the third one running, and the second is Adonis-chan, who's probably going to pull ahead of the others.

I probably won't even need to do it in "moderation," right?
