Hey, watch where you're going!

A bit more to the right!

Ready to lift!

On three... now!

Wow...

We did it.

♪~

~♪

You can't just tell us this the day before.

Please, Inomata, I need your help.

I have something scheduled

It's just 10 minutes. Just start a bit earlier than scheduled.

There was a misprint in the program pamphlet.

So Class 1-B will start at 3:30...

Faculty Office

Please excuse me.

You should've double-checked it.

Wasting everyone's time like this...

All this running around - definitely feels like the day before the festival.

Hey, aren't you going to ask out Kano-san tomorrow?

No way, that's impossible.

She'd never go for someone like me.

Besides, she looks pretty busy.

Yeah, you're right. I'm fine just admiring from afar.

I wish I could be part of their group.

What for?

Hey, Taiki!

Are you ready to see the classroom?

Ready?

You'll be surprised.

Don't tell me you broke something again...

No, that's not it.

Oh wow, it's so cute...

It came out perfectly!

We made it just in time.

Come on, leader, say something!

Um... well...

It looks nice.

What kind of response is that?

Oh, I know! Let's curl each other's hair!

He was just about to give us a proper compliment too.

He didn't have to run away... Ah!

Maybe he couldn't handle looking at it anymore.

I think Inomata is more aware than he's letting on.

Got it.

1 day untill Cultural Festival

Something interesting might happen at the festival.

What? Really?

Isn't it the cultural festival today?

Why are you in your gym clothes?

Since we can't use the gym today...

I thought I'd go for a run.

I'm off!

He could take just one day off...

Chinatsu-senpai!

Taiki-kun.

What brings you here?

Morning practice. Can't use the gym today.

You could take a break today, you know.

Look who's talking.

I'm still pumped from our last match.

Same here.

After seeing that kind of performance, how could I not be motivated?

But at this rate...

I'll never catch up to you.

You should take more breaks, Chinatsu-senpai.

I take plenty of breaks.

No way!

Your mind is always on basketball.

That's not true at all.

So cool...

She really is all about basketball.

Oh right, remember that band we saw practicing?

They're second-years, and...

Yeah?

They're having a live show at 2.

Want to go together?

Eh?

Are you busy then?

No, I'll definitely come!

Great!

Ah, I should get going.

See you at 2 at the venue!

Yes!

Yeah...

The Eimei Festival will now begin.

TL Note: A play on words with ring toss game props and butterfly shape, common at Japanese school festivals.

Here comes my Ultimate Butterfly Ring!

Too bad.

Let me try again!

She looks like she's having fun. I wonder if she's nervous at all.

Maybe she's so nervous she has to act excited.

The play starts at 3:30, right?

If we need to start preparing at 3, we should enjoy ourselves until then.

Right.

I need to make my rounds, but...

What are your plans, Taiki?

Well, I'll visit Shou and the others, then...

See you at 2 at the venue!

Ah- never mind!

Something with Senpai, huh?

Later.

It feels like a dream.

Getting invited to a live show by Chinatsu-senpai...

Hm?

Kishi-kun.

Inomata Taiki! I heard the news!

You beat Yusa-kun!

Oh, that.

Fight me too!

No way... it's the cultural festival.

Then!

Take me to Chinatsu-san's class!

Not happening!

What did you say?

Thanks to you, I couldn't even get her contact info!

That's because you lost!

Well, this is an unusual pair.

Haryuu-senpai and... Karen-san.

Cultural Festival Outfit

The Model Girlfriend

Both Guys

Unsightly Dispute

Why are you two fighting?

Karen-neesan!

This guy won't show me to Class 2-B!

Neesan?

Well, I'm heading there now.

Want to come along?

Really?!

But...

It's quite intense, so be prepared.

Eh?

Cafe

Welcome!

Excuse me...

I'll be right with you.

Chinatsu!

Coming!

Sorry for the wait.

Kishi-kun!

How... how are you still standing?

I'm barely keeping it together myself.

She's way too cute!

These guys are interesting.

Ah, youth...

This came out of nowhere.

She said she wouldn't be a waitress...

I'm happy to see Senpai like this, but...

Still...

Hey there.

Got a boyfriend? Can I get your number?

This isn't that kind of establishment.

Nagisa!

Please don't bother her.

We've got perfect chemistry.

We're like water and fish, the best partners.

We're basically married - just saying "that one" is enough.

Nagisa...

I'm glad someone's there to protect her.

Boyfriend... ah...

No, that person's from the girls' basketball...

After heartbreak, drinking's the answer.

Here, have one.

Are you trying to profit off this?

I knew it all along...

Why are you acting drunk?

No matter how destined our meeting was...

The distance between us was just too great...

Destined?

But look at that radiant smile!

If Chinatsu-san is happy...

That's enough for me.

He handles his drinks well.

I just want to be there when she's happy.

Chi, good work so far.

You made it!

Had to come worship your maid outfit.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'll get some more drinks.

By the way...

Want to see the fashion show at 2?

Let's go together, Chi.

Eh? At 2...

Sorry, I have plans then.

Then how about you guys...

Ah! I need to see my friend!

Excuse me!

He ran?

Wait for me!

Cultural festivals are so much fun.

Chinatsu-senpai's running late...

Ah! Maybe she meant inside by "venue"?

Hi everyone, we're Samoyed.

Wow...

This is incredible! So exciting!

Let's all get fired up together!

There's quite a crowd here...

Was I reading too much into this?

No, I definitely heard her right.

Our first song is...

"Nagisa" (beach)

Even if this turns out to be an illusion...

I wouldn't be surprised.

Sorry I'm late.

I'm late.

My replacement didn't show up...

No...

And now, please listen to...

Let's move up front!

Thank goodness.

It wasn't just a dream.

♪ Always connected through whispered jokes

♪ I believed in our bond

This is my first live show, but it's amazing!

♪ Even when the desert seemed distant

Maybe she can't hear me over the music...

♪ Though it's just a dim sixth-magnitude star

♪ I fell in love with what I imagined

This is so cool!

Yeah!

"Yeah"...?

"Yeah"...

Am I overthinking this?

I keep getting my hopes up, but...

♪ Gentle days are dyed in the sound of waves

♪ Don't wake from this dream, illusion

Thank you!

Next up is "Blues Drive"

Oh, this song!

You like it?

I do, but Karen loves it even more.

She listens to it when she fights with Haryuu-kun.

Chinatsu-senpai, why did you invite me today?

♪ A worn-out strap

She couldn't hear me...

Never mind.

Maybe she just didn't have anyone else to ask.

Karen-san wanted to see the fashion show...

♪ With trembling vocals and a bright red Stratocaster

That's...

Did you say some-

Eh!

♪ The beginning of the dream I drew

What did you just say?

Eh!

Sorry, I can't hear you over the music!

♪ I'm still waiting here today

♪ Memories overflow

♪ The worn-down shoe locker's where

♪ Sunlight touched my blushing face that day

♪ Your picture-perfect smile remained

What's with that? Now I'm really curious.

♪ That moment was surely...

That was amazing!

Live music hits different, doesn't it?

About earlier...

Your class's play starts at 3:30, right?

Yes...

Still pretending not to hear...

I'll get seats right in the middle.

But I'm not even in it.

But you all worked hard during practice, right?

Well then, thanks for coming! See you later!

Yes!

Cultural festivals are the best!

Everything's going perfectly!

Watching a live show with Senpai, just the two of us...

If I ever see my life flash before my eyes...

I'll definitely remember today.

Taiki!

Hey.

Good work.

Wait! I've got free time now!

What are you doing, Nishida-senpai?

I'm a fortune teller, obviously.

Our class is doing a stamp rally,

and I'm in charge of stamps.

You can collect stamps from monsters, clowns, and others.

Get them all for a prize!

Want to give it a try?

Um... no.

I'll read your fortune too.

Can you actually do that?

My grandma's a psychic.

Huh?!

This is terrible!

Very soon...

An incredible trial awaits you!

A trial?

Fortune teller-san!

I found my wallet exactly where you said!

My ex got in touch!

I found my long-lost brother!

Yes, yes, I see, I see.

No, no way.

There's no way he could be that accurate!

"An incredible trial" is too vague anyway.

He must be making it up...

What?!

The prince actor, Minamiyama-san, is in the hospital?

TL Note: SASUKE refers to "Ninja Warrior," a famous obstacle course competition show in Japan. Here it's being recreated as a festival activity.

He was doing SASUKE in Class 3-D,

and after reaching the goal, he fell and hurt his leg...

What do we do about the prince role...

We need a replacement...

At least there aren't many lines.

Is anyone free?

Everyone's out enjoying the festival.

The people here are either performing or working backstage...

Ah... I need to help with the lighting.

Hm? Wait...

Huh?!
