Man: --Kengo?  What happened?  That face......

Kengo: --I feel irritated!
Kengo: What'll make me feel better!?  Coach!

Man: ......?
Man thinks: He's rather serious.

Kengo thinks: --that was 7 years ago.

~~~~~~~~
Kengo thinks: What my boys' baseball team coach told me-
Kengo thinks: --then get out in front and run your hardest!

Blackboard: Field Day
	 Event list-

Fubuki: What did you just say......?

<crowd noise>

Hikage: Uh-

Fubuki: ......Kengo Kobayashi.

Kengo: --it's fine.  I'll run.
	 I said.

~~~~
Yamato: Huh!?

Chihiro: My.

Yamato: Kengo-kun's participating too--!?

Classmates: Huh--!?
	 All right.
	 Wow

Kengo thinks: ...wh- what.

Tsubame thinks: .........this is-

Flier: A privilege for the winning class!!
	 Specially ordered by the principal!!
	 Used by the pros.
	 Goode-

Tsubame thinks: a Goode Child Trophy--?
Tsubame: .....
Tsubame thinks: ......my class-
	 wants this why?

Narration: (laugh)

Tsubame: Tsubame doesn't understand.

Classmates: Let's do it.
	 2-A fight!!
	 Yeah--

Narration: Himawari High School has come to its Field Day.

~~~~~~~~
Kengo thinks: I'm out of practice--

Label: (Already) Class practice

Fubuki: ............

Girls: <blush>
	 Wow, it's Kengo-kun.  It's Kengo-kun.

Yamato: I'm so happy I can practice with Kengo-kun--
	 <excited screams>
	 te ke te ke

Hikage: To tell the truth it's a relief he volunteered.
	 Convincing him last year in the Class Match was a pain.

Classmate: How nostalgic--
	 Yeah, after that...
Classmate: what else we need for A-gumi's competitive potential is Chihiro-kun's participation...

Chihiro: Will I participate--?  What'll I do--?

Narration: (laugh)

Papers: Trap Events

~~~~
Chihiro: Oh.  This 3 legged race looks like fun.  Let's do it together

Kobayashi-kun.
	 <cackle>

Yamato: That's supposed to be a boy and a girl, right!?
	 Cut it out.  Goodness.

Fubuki: Kengo Kobayashi--
	 Hold up--
Fubuki: About how many events can you be in?

Kengo: ...got me.
	 I'll leave it to you.  You decide Chairman.

Fubuki: Hm?  Then of long and short distance?

Kengo: Of the two, short distance.

Yamato: --huh?

Chihiro: What are you looking at Kobayashi-kun.
	 <tie>

Yamato: Um......
	 <stare>
Yamato thinks: Was it... my imagination?
	 Those two...

~~~~~~~~
Fubuki: How many want in--?

Yamato thinks: I've thought Fubuki-chan and Kengo-kun
	 have been acting different since summer vacation.
Yamato thinks: But it's a subtle change in the atmosphere somewhere.
	 Hmm.
	 Am I thinking too much?  It's not as if they're fighting.  They're acting the same-

Chihiro: Kobayashi-kun, from the inside--

Yamato: Yeah.

Chihiro: I said from the inside.
	 Stupid--

Yamato: .........
Yamato: <howl>

Narration: Hurdle.
Narration: Caught.

Yamato: <gasping scream>

Narration: Crawling under the net.
Narration: ?

~~~~
Yamato: Isn't there...
	 isn't there some event I'm good at...!
	 <snivel, snivel, snivel>

Classmates: It- it's not like that Kobayashi-kun!
	 Cheer up!!

Fubuki: For example, see!

Chihiro: A ball to throw in the ball toss.

Fubuki: Yeah, yeah.

Chihiro: A ball in the ball roll.
	 Or a ball in the spoon race--
	 <laugh>

Yamato thinks: ...not a ball...

Narration: (laugh)

Fubuki: You sadist--

Chihiro: <cackle>

Classmate: How about putting him at the goal when the chairman's running?

Narration: (laugh)

Classmate: That'd work!
	 It'll do!

Fubuki: Wait--

Kengo: --

~~~~~~~~
Yamato thinks: Hm.

Fubuki: Goodness.

Kengo: <running>

Yamato: Kengo-kun's running--
Yamato thinks: --from that time we-
Yamato thinks: started practicing for the field day.

<school chimes>

Classmate: <heart beats>
	 <excitement>

Chihiro: Well then,

~~~~
Chihiro: Let's start on the inside.
	 Ready and...

Classmate: ----
Classmate: <faint>

Chihiro: My

Classmate: I......I can't.  I can't run--!!
	 I'm unworthy--
	 <sob>

Chihiro: Again.

Classmates: Midori you wimp--

Narration: (laugh)
	 <-All failed.

Fubuki: Oh goodness.  You girls are worthless!  You all wanted to pair up with him--
Fubuki: You too, you.  Stop putting out weird pheromones!
	 Goodness.
	 What'll you do if someone gets pregnant!?

Narration: They won't.

Chihiro: Oh my?  What a terrible way to put it--
	 How awful.

~~~~~~~~
Chihiro: But you're fine Fubuki-chan.
	 See, even when I do this kind of thing.

Fubuki: <shriek>
	 I'm not fine.  I feel repulsed!

Classmates: .........
	 ......... hey...... maybe

Fubuki: Hm?

Chihiro: ?

Classmate: It'd be best if the chairman paired with Chihiro-kun?

Fubuki: Wha-
Fubuki: ...t are you saying!?
	 Come on!  You guys.

Classmates: Wow.
	 --that'd be good!!
	 I see!
	 Yeah!?
	 Good idea--

~~~~
Fubuki: Stop-- joking!!
	 If I'm with this guy who knows what'll happen to me......!
	 So you guys plan on sacrificing me huh!?

Hikage: You're worrying too much.

Chihiro: Yeah.
	 <giggle>

Classmates: Shh.
	 There aren't any other girls with a pheromone block.

Chihiro: --if Fubuki-chan feels like it, I can absolutely promise victory.
	 ...by WHATEVER MEANS.

Narration: (laugh)

Fubuki: You probably plan on setting traps for the competition, cheater!
	 It's a field day.  Let's have fair play.

Chihiro: --oh my?  Is that ok.  I mean, you want the Goode Child Trophy, right?

Fubuki: <flinch>

~~~~~~~~
Yamato: Wow.  Is this ok?  Really!?
	 You're incredible
	 Fubuki-chan.
	 The trophy's
	 pretty--

Narration: <-*She's doing her best just to hear these words. (laugh)

Fubuki: Ooh.....!

Classmates: Oh, the chairman's troubled.
	 And she's losing to her desires.
	 Hang in there.
Classmates: Fubuki-chan and Chihiro-kun are [together] in the 3 legged race!?
	 Huh--!?

Kengo: !

Yamato: Why again!?
	 te ke te ke

Girl: Th- that is...
Girl thinks: I can't say that it's for you, Kobayashi-kun.

Fubuki: <depressed>...

Chihiro: Fu-buki-chan.
	 Hey.

~~~~
Chihiro: You have to wear gym shorts the day of.
	 <laugh>

Fubuki: .......... drop dead.

Yamato: <panic, panic>
	 Th- there's trouble Kengo-kun.
	 Ken...
	 Huh?

Kengo: <running>

Yamato: He's gone...
	 running....
Yamato: ? ?
Yamato thinks: It's not like he's not worrying about Fubuki-chan...?

~~~~~~~~
Yamato thinks: Somehow, I have a bad feeling.

Teacher: <blows whistle>--...
	 --Ok boys, over here!
Teacher: It's before the field day, so today for gym we're timing the 100m [dash]--

<crowd noise>

Teacher: 2 at a time in order of your names!

Yamato thinks: Ordered by names...
	 which means I'm, um--
	 I'm 9th so--
Yamato thinks: ...oh!
	 <flinch>

~~~~
Girl: <running>
	 Hey... everyone!  There's trouble!  The boys are running!
	 And...!

Teacher: <whistle>

Fubuki thinks: ......... how surprising.  They're unexpectedly going for it.

Girls: How cool--

Fubuki thinks: <glazed>

Fubuki: Kobayashi-kun.

Teacher: Hey, the girls have volleyball.

Chihiro: Oh, Fubuki-chan.
	 You saw.

Fubuki: Hang in there--
	 Sorry, I forgot to cheer you on--

Yamato: My nose is bleeding.
	 <nose bleed>

Chihiro: How was my manly form.
	 <cackle>
	 Have you upgraded your opinion?

Kengo: --...

Fubuki: What's with that!?  You're stuck on yourself--
	 <yelling>

Chihiro: My, be honest with yourself Fubuki-chan.

Fubuki: Hm--... well,
	 wasn't bad, I guess?

Chihiro: Nice going.
	 <cackle>
	 <tap>

Fubuki: Since when.
	 ...hm!?

~~~~~~~~
Fubuki: Stupid, you're getting carried away!
	 You--
	 just 'cause I can't move-

Chihiro: There, there.

Yamato: Chi- Chihiro-kun.

Chihiro: What are you saying.  Like this our partnership will pair up even better.

Fubuki: <yelling>

Yamato: Hm?
Yamato thinks: Whoops......!

Kengo: <turn>

Yamato thinks: --again......
Yamato thinks: Kengo-kun...?

Chihiro: <tsk, tsk, tsk>
	 --but really, to tell the truth, with this our 3 legged race
	 should be a bit more fun than before, right?
	 <cackle>

Fubuki: <pause>
	 Huh?

~~~~~~~~
Fubuki: Hmm......
	 I see.

Kengo: <pant>
Kengo thinks: That guy-
Kengo thinks: The chairman's that kind of person, so-
Kengo: <pant, pant>
Kengo thinks: even at times like this she won't ask for my help.
Kengo thinks: I... understand that!
	 But, maybe if-
Kengo: <pant>
	 <pant, pant>
Kengo thinks: this isn't me being conceited...

~~~~
Kengo thinks: Since summer vacation
	 let alone putting distance between us--...
Kengo thinks: "She's acting like nothing happened today too."
Kengo thinks: So
	 I too-
Kengo: <pant, pant>
	 <pant, pant>
Kengo thinks: -can only act the same way.
Kengo: --
