That fantastically boring event has finally arrived.

Clothes Design Class is in the Red Team, right?

Still, it’s sure to blow.

I’m not against gym, but a school event is just pushing it.

I wonder if I can talk my way out…

I’m horrible at gym, but I hear the Red & White Cheer-Off is so much fun! I can’t wait!

Cheer-Off?

So all the first-year girls will be participating in group calisthenics.

Then we can choose participants for their preferred events. Any candidates?

Sensei!

Oh, Kouda-san! What’s your event?

Yes, I am nominating myself for the cheer squad.

Huh?

Oh? So Clothes Design students are Reds, huh?

Yuusuke is a Red too. Jiro and I are Whites.

Why only you?

That’s because Visual Arts was split up into Reds and Whites, due to our numbers.

I don’t really care which team I’m in.

I’m just gonna skip the whole thing anyway.

Do what you want. As long as we thin out the least desirable players.

Well, I became a member of the Red Team cheer squad!

What? Cheer squad?

Because you don’t want to be in any actual events?

Except for the group calisthenics.

That’s low!

Snap, the cheer squad! Ain’t even thought of that!

Hey!

I was just chosen as a White cheer squad member!

Huh?

So Interior Design students are Whites?

I was such a great cheerleader last year, they wanted me to do it again!

Though they didn’t have to ask me!

Jiro and I are Whites too!

Really? That’s awesome! I’ll give it my all!

Well, now the White Team’s victory is in the bag.

Oh yeah? Well I’ve got an idea that’ll take you down. You’ll see!

Oh? Can’t wait!

Grrrr!

I will not lose to him!

Now, I want to pick this year’s leader of the cheer squad…

Senpai!

Clothing Design, First Year. Kouda Mikako.

I have a really great idea brewing.

So please make me the leader!

And that’s what I said.

They made me the leader of the cheer squad…

But actually, I don’t have any idea at all.

Mikako!

So I hear you’re the leader of the Red cheer squad.

That sure got out fast!

I heard it from our class’s cheer squad.

They said you were brimming with confidence.

Well, just you wait. I have a fabulous idea just waiting to be seen.

Which means you don’t actually have any idea, do you?

Gulp!

Are you all right by yourself? I can help out, you know.

You’re just trying to probe me!

Huh?

But you are a White, right? Body-ko probably had you do this.

What the heck?! I’m just trying to be nice here!

Hey back off, damned spy!

Fine, do whatever!

Anyway, I gotta get going and think of a super-extraordinary idea.

All right!

Let’s do this!

Mikako! I finished my manuscript today!

Do you want to go out somewhere for dinner?

I don’t have time for that now.

I’ll just microwave some ready-made pilaf later.

If you really want to go, go by yourself.

Oh, and I thought we could finally have a gourmet dinner together.

All right, I’ll just go out for some drinks then.

In order to win against that sexpot…

…I can only do battle with ideas.

Still…

Crap! I can’t think of anything!

I think I’m starting to feel the pain that Mama goes through.

Uh?

Mikako! Tsutomu-kun has come to get you!

Oh crap! How long was I sleeping?!

Tell him to go ahead without me!

Ah, crap!

Like I’m gonna sit through Classics.

…5-6-7-8!

1-2-3-4-5-6 - It’s my way! Got it?

1-2-3-4, 2-2-3-4

3-2-3-4, 4-2-3-4…

Say, Mikako? Did you think of a good idea yet?

Yeah, I thought of something…

Crap, on top of no sleep, my skipping breakfast has caught up to me…

1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4

1-2-3-4

Mikako!

What’s wrong with you?!

Hurry, take her to the infirmary!

Okay!

You…

I’ll take her for you. Here.

Whoa! She’s light as hell!

That witch…

The infirmary…

That’s right, I…

Huh? Yuusuke, why?

I was skipping class when they pawned you off on me, then I took you all the way here.

Thanks a lot.

Eat up.

The school doctor said it happened because you had no sleep or food.

Croquettes! Did you get them just for me?

Only while I was eating lunch.

That’s how all Reds should stick together! I’m so touched!

I was up all night, and then I overslept this morning and skipped breakfast.

You okay doing this by yourself?

Are you gonna help me out?

I am a Red, am I not?

I’ve been waiting for this!

If you’re in, then there’s something I want you to help me out with.

Mikako passed out?!

All right, let’s do this! Together!

All right!

Mikako…

Tsutomu-kun! Found you!

Mariko-senpai!

I need to ask you a favor regarding the cheer squad.

Can you help me out?

Uh-

Sure. I can be of use.

I knew you’d say that! Say, let’s go to my place!

Uh, right.

Been waiting?

Sorry for having you take me home.

It’s cool, all right?

I’ll make you some more omelet rice in return.

Great!

All right, we’re off!

Hey, let’s make those Whites eat our dust!

Yeah!

Laters!

I got the idea when I scanned that magazine.

Oh, this?

Yeah, it might work.

The problem, however, is the pattern.

I want it to be simple but have impact. That’s where you come in.

Hmm?

She’s pretty easy to get along with.

Yeah, but this is more Tsutomu’s specialty.

Nope!

He’s our enemy. He’s also Body-ko’s little spy.

Aren’t you overblowing it?

No, that lack of vigilance only invites defeat.

Nope, she can still be freaky.

And whenever people mentioned “cheerleaders,” the girls would all flinch.

That girl next door of you is pretty cute.

I can go after her, right?

Man, he better not try anything with her.

Hey, are you listening?

Uh, yeah. And then?

So I want you to ask the girls in the cheer squad for me.

Me?

But you’re so popular!

They’d do anything Manbou’s Ken-chan tells them to do, I would think.

Uh-huh…

Come on, let’s go!

Look!

Goal!

15 seconds? What the - you’re not in grade school you know!

I’ll stop if you try to make it a race.

All right.

That Yuusuke sure stayed over late at Mikako’s place.

Laters!

Mikako, what are you doing with him?

I can go after her, right?

And is Yuusuke really into Mikako?

What’s with him?

Go, go, go!

Go for it!

Ah, a new record!

That settles it, you two are the anchors!

You and Yuusuke are now in the relay? Pinheads!

Well he just had to make it a race.

So did you!

With you and Yuusuke now in the Red & White games, it will be an even bigger Cheer-Off!

Right, about that…

You already thought of something?

If I didn’t do it quickly, we wouldn’t have time to prepare.

Way to go!

Hmm, those Whites. We can’t do it here. Let’s go over there.

Oh, this is nice! This is nice too!

As you can see…

I have a really good idea, so gather as many people as you can!

Right!

So what I’m saying is, I implore everyone to make the most of it!

Okay?

I’ll give it my all for Ken-chan!

Hey! Give it your all this year, everyone! Here we go!

Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!

Hurray, hurray Reds!

Hurray, hurray Reds! Hurray, hurray Reds!

Let’s go, let’s go Whites! Fight!

Get ’em, get ’em, Whites!

Whaddaya know? After all that frontin’, the Red’s routine lacks game, yo.

Mm-hmm.

Hurray, hurray, Reds!

Let’s go, let’s go Reds! Let’s go, let’s go Reds!

One-two! One-two! One-two! One-two!

Now for today’s main event, the Red & White Relay!

Finally.

Ready…

Now!

Hurray, hurray, Reds! Hurray, hurray, Reds!

Très bien!

Now!

Win, win, Reds! Win, win, Reds!

We got ’em!

Mikako’s quite a girl. She even bossed around the upperclassmen just to do this.

So, you’re in love with her now?

Maybe.

Why that damn…

Now, don’t get serious like the last time, you hear? You’ll wear me out!

Goddamn him!

Hurray, hurray Reds!

Let’s go, let’s go Whites!

Dammit!

Tsutomu…

Tsutomu-kun, go get him!

Go get him!

Keep it up, Yuusuke-kun!

Run!

Run for it, Yuusuke!

Tsutomu! You can do it, Tsutomu! Take the lead!

Don’t lose! Run, Tsutomu!

Mikako…

Tsutomu!

Tsutomu!

Oww… I’m still stiff from the relay!

You’re just like an old man.

Yeeowch! Don’t do that!

Before I realized it, I was cheering for Tsutomu.

I guess I really am…

I’m all right with going to the fair with you all.

But I still have a bad feeling about this.

It might be because I have to put up with a whole day of

you and Body-ko being all hot and heavy with each other.

Don’t screw with me!

What’s with that scowl, Mikako?

Neighborhood Story.

For Real? A Double Date?

No Flinching Warp!
