Senpai.

If you have time, would you like to get together over Golden Week?

G-get together?

Is he asking me...

To go out on a date!?

On the last day.

If you don't have any other plans, that is.

No, wait! How can he ask me this?

Rin-chan is right over there.

...And Rin-chan doesn't seem to mind at all.

What is happening?

Is this kind of thing normal in athletic clubs?

In that case, I can't freak out about this.

I have to show them that I am a calm, composed senpai.

Senpai?

I-I'm free on the last day.

I don't have plans.

Thank you very much!

I'm so glad you said yes! I can't wait!

Then is one o'clock a good time to meet up?

That's about the time I was thinking.

Do you think Kakuryu-san would join us?

Probably.

Then let's invite him!

Good idea.

We don't get vacations very often, so we were really hoping we could all do something fun together.

Of course. We're getting together "as a club."

Looks like the shogi club is planning to do something.

Last day of Golden Week.

You wanna go, Sakurako?

No.

Oh, okay.

Another day...

A different day during Golden Week...

I want you to be with me.

Whoa, I found one!

No, I didn't.

It turns out they're actually pretty hard to find, huh?

She said she wanted me to be with her...

So I kind of got my hopes up.

You said you wanted it for a bookmark?

Uh-huh.

And you can't use a three-leafed one?

They're practically the same.

They're completely different.

Four-leafed clovers bring good luck.

I don't really believe in all that superstitious stuff.

You just don't understand the heart of a dreamer, Takeru-kun.

But hey, if you say that's what you want, Sakurako, I'll find one if it's the last thing I do.

Uh-huh.

Thank you.

Please, it's no big deal.

Not just for that.

For always hanging out with me.

You know I'm really shy, and I don't have a lot of friends.

So it makes me really happy to have you.

So Takeru-kun...

If it's okay with you, I hope we can be friends forever.

Yeah. I'll be your friend until you say you don't like it anymore.

Yeah.

I found one.

I found a four-leafed clover!

Really!?

See? How do you like that!?

I'm sorry! Are you okay!?

I can't believe you fell.

That's what you get for not believing in lucky four-leafed clovers.

No...

That was super ultra lucky.

I hope it makes a good bookmark.

Yeah!

Takeru-kun.

Hm? What's up?

Oh right. You're not athletic like me.

Get plenty of rest when you get home, okay?

Yeah.

This is not good, Tanaka-san. If we don't hurry, we'll be late.

Let's run.

No. I wouldn't want to trouble Senpai by showing up covered in sweat.

Pardon me.

Urushi!

What are you doing in this neck of the woods?

Oh, you know...

What about you?

We're doing this!

Sweets endurance race?

You eat dessert, get a stamp, eat, get a stamp...

Until you make it to the finish line!

What in the heck?

What indeed?

But why would you...

Because the sweets are there!

Anyway, we're going to eat all the sweets in town before Golden Week is out!

Aren't we!

And this is the first stop!

Care to join us, Urushi?

Today isn't... really...

Er, I mean...

You're on a date!

I am not!

That's why you were checking out your reflection in the window!

How long were you watching me!?

I told you, I'm not!

I thought it was a date, but then it wasn't!

He was asking me if I wanted to get together with the whole shogi club!

I'm sorry it turned out not to be a date.

I'm not upset about it...

I was just a little disappointed.

Senpai!

Sorry to keep you waiting, Senpai.

Okay, but why are you speedwalking?

Is that... for the Sweets Endurance Race?

Oh! You've heard of it?

I have!

I'm on my second run-through!

Well...

We can't let her beat us!

Come on, let the race begin!

See you later, Rin-chan, Ayumu-kun!

Don't worry, Urushi. You look very cute.

Wh-why would Maki say that?

You are very cute, Senpai.

Stop that.

Hey, Ayumu, you're late!

Okay, let's give this a shot.

You set a new record.

Wow.

Wait, is it wow-worthy?

I've never done this before, so I don't know.

Would you like to try it?

Okay, sure.

Uh, umm...

You can do it, Ms. President!

You set a new record, too.

Even your records are cute, Senpai.

I told you to stop that.

So cute.

Behold my magnificent jumping powers!

You call that a jump?

Take that! Full combo ba-dum-bum!

You won't beat me!

Behold my magnificent cadence!

Man, you kids are full of energy.

That's former athletes for you.

Wh-what is this?

They turned shogi pawns into fighter planes!

That's an awfully niche game...

Let's play it, Ayumu!

Yes, Senpai!

We can do this, Senpai.

Go get 'em, Ms. President!

They're coming from the right!

You got this!

Look out!

You're doing great, Senpai.

It's huge!

Alright! They won't beat us!

Well done!

Senpai, you did it!

Amazing!

I knew you could do it!

I used up too much energy.

But we won.

Yeah.

Okay!

That was a pretty good warmup.

Are you ready for the main event?

I call it...

Air Hockey Doubles...

Golden Week Cup!

We can do it, Senpai!

Yeah!

Nice shot, Kakuryu-san!

Loser pays the price. They buy everybody a soda.

Sorry about that, Ayumu.

That's alright. We can turn this around!

Yeah.

Next time... I'm making that shot!

Senpai.

I have a plan.

Oh, come on...

What do you guys think you're doing?

I'll block with both hands.

You focus on offense, Senpai.

Like it's so easy to use both hands.

Amateur thinking.

Uh, forget about if this plan can work.

More importantly, he's so close, it's embarrassing!

Is something the matter?

What do you think!?

We're gonna turn this around in one fell swoop!

Yeah...

Wow. He really is stopping every shot, all by himself.

This feels like I've been put in a compromising position...

What are you guys doing!?

Senpai! Now's our chance!

I'm so sorry. You're getting punished, and it's all my fault.

It's okay. I was happy to be on the same team as you, so I don't mind.

There he goes embarrassing me again...

It's too bad we missed that last shot.

Oh, that? Yeah.

But we wouldn't have even had a chance without your defense.

Looks like I owe you again, Ayumu.

You don't owe me. I did it because I wanted to.

I know. But if there's anything I can do for you, make sure to tell me, okay?

Thank you, Senpai.

Okay! Well, let's go back.

Okay.

Senpai!

It's not too soon to take you up on your offer, is it?

Oh! You thought of something? What?

They're taking forever.

They really are.

Kakuryu-san! Please excuse me!

What the?

Koalas Macho?

They're so good!

And these boxes are so big!

Super Swole Macho Koala?

Some rare Koalas Macho boxes have a Super Swole Macho Koala that's supposed to bring good luck!

Good luck...

Maybe I'll try to get a box, too.

Got nothing else to do.

You want to take pictures together? And that's really the favor you're going to ask for?

Yes.

I want pictures with both of us.

Uh, okay.

What? Are you nervous?

Yes. I've never done this before.

Well, then you don't have to be nervous.

I've done this a few times, so you can just leave it to me!

Okay. It's gonna take the first pic.

R-right!

Heh heh. First pic and I'm already making the promoted pawn sign!

Ack, it's backwards!

Y-yes it is.

Darn it, I messed up! Can he tell I'm nervous, too?

Senpai.

Wh-what?

Thank you for that.

I'm a little less nervous now.

That's exactly what I was going for!

Always on point, Senpai!

Next! Time for the second one!

That's scary!

Is that us as aliens?

No filters! None!

You know...

This is starting to be fun!

I agree!

But wow, you really do always have the exact same look on your face.

The next one's the last one, so let's finish it off with the promoted pawn pose!

Alright.

You're blinking, Ayumu! And it's the last picture!

Come on, Senpai, your eyes are closed, too!

And your promoted pawn sign is backwards again.

Both of ours are.

Huh?

I can't believe we had one picture left.

We let our guard down.

But thank you for doing that.

I'm glad I got to take pictures with you.

Really... Well, good.

I had fun, too.

And I got to see something special.

Wh-what happened here?

Golden Week is the best!

It is fun, isn't it?

Yeah!

Alright, now I'm pumped!

Air Hockey Doubles: Golden Week Cup Round Two! Let's go!

Bring it on!

We're still doing that?

Excuse me, Mikage-san?

Uh, umm...

You can have it.

I just happened to get one, by coincidence.

It's supposed to be good luck.

What if I get lucky again?

Takeru-kun.

What?

A boy just told me he likes me.

He asked me to go out with him.

Wow. So did you give him an answer?

No, not yet.

How could this happen!?

What if, on a whim, Sakurako decides to go out with this guy!?

Lucky, my ass!

But wait... A decent man would want the woman he loves to be happy...

I don't really understand...

What it means to "like" someone.

What does it feel like to like someone?

H-how should I know?

I think... It feels like, it's fun to be with them, and you want to do things for them...

You want to see them happy, and suddenly you realize you're always thinking about them.

And... I guess...

Maybe it's about whether or not your heart starts beating faster when you're with them.

I see...

It makes sense now.

That's enough, right? This is embarrassing.

Yeah.

So... I decided... I'm going to turn that boy down.

Really.

Because I realized.

Realized what?

Takeru-kun.

I like...

That you taught me about liking someone. Thank you.

Sure.

Sakurako, you're looking kind of flushed.

Do you have a fever?

No, I think I'm okay.

Are you sure?

I'm sharing the luck.

Takeru-kun?

It's nothing, I'm fine!
