"It's because of you,"

　murmured Barbara, clasping her knees.

"If he had not taken the stick from the Hunting Guild -- and if he had both taken the stick from the Guild-Chief -- they would not have been in last place."

　Barbara's back teeth clink.
　Magda and Loretta called out...

"...that's not true. Barbara is not to blame."
"That's right. You've been too bad with him.
"But! Asi... he can't forgive me!"

　Spit it out and Barbara starts running.
　I wanted to go after him, but I can't do it now.

　There's no one around me now.
　However, everyone on the White team is looking at me in a roundabout way.

　I was silently looking up at the scoreboard showing that I had fallen to the bottom again.
　Jeanette was worried about approaching me, but Ines stopped it.

　No one approaches me.


　The sky was very dark.


"Well... "

　It was the Neferry who uttered an uneasy voice.

"Barbara, can I leave you alone?"

　The words seemed to be directed at me, but I passed without looking back.
　I don't know what you thought when you saw it, but I heard a long sigh from the referee.

"It can't be helped," I'll call you out."

　As the caring Neferry made his way to Barbara, there was a quick raise of hands.
　It's Percy.

"Mr. Neferry, I'll cheer you up."
"Well, but..."
"It's all right, leave it to me," I'm good at making a depressed guy smile. That's why????????"

　The Percy nod rang with a snap.

"When Mr. Barbara gets well, Mr. Neferry doesn't look so anxious, but laugh... I really want him to."

　a determined confession
　It was good for Percy.

"Yes, I see. Well, I hope you'll take good care of me."
"No!"

　Percy's words soften the voice of the referee.
　That alone is a sufficient engine for Percy. Percy ran to Barbara with plenty of spirit.

"You're a good man, Percy,"

　mutter something that makes Percy cry for joy.

"Do you like Barbara by any chance?"

　said Percy, who was about to cry with grief.
　Good for you, Percy. I'm not a very good listener.

　Then Percy stands in front of Barbara, who holds her knees in the corner of the field.

"May I sit next to you?"
"... I don't like it,"
"Don't say so," ... well, I'll interrupt you~"

　Percy sits down next to me with a light laugh at my refusal.
　His impudence is useful at times like this.

"Don't cry, seriously,"
「…………」
"Because you worked so hard".
"...I've been doing my best... I'm in last place.
"What is that?"
"Why... they're fighting to win!"
"Well, well, well,"

　Percy's index finger stops at the tip of Barbara's nose, looking up angrily.

"You're the winner,"
"...what?"

　Outrage and sadness vanished from Barbara's face, either by surprise or by ignorance.
　When Percy sees it, he goes on.

"Why, Medra Rossell? No one knows her name in All Bloom, and the head of the hunting guild who doesn't cry? How can you beat her?"
"So, Arthi lost...!"
"But that Medra Rossell only said to you, "Oh, my God," and gave you a stick that you could have taken for sure? That's an affair, I suppose."

　I don't know what to look like. Barbara is looking for words with such a bewildering expression on her face. My mouth is moving faintly, but I can't speak a word.

"That's why you've won. I made you admit it. Oh, really."
"But at the bottom... at the bottom..."I know him, 'the worst' and 'the bottom' and all the other guys around him say that... so he always wanted to beat anyone and had to win...!"
"That's all right, last place".
"No way! The last place is the last place!"
`It's probably the bottom, but that's why you're not worth it!'

　Barbara stands up angrily and sits down in a fit of venom.
　sit in a pretty girl's seat and stare at Percy with round eyes

"I was amazed to see your fight. I thought it was cool. I was quite impressed. It's hard to do, you know."
"Oh, that sort of thing... like being moved... Huh?
"I think so. It's not cool to make an effort that doesn't lead to results, after all, to fail, to fail in the middle, or to become miserable enough to cry, isn't it Dasse?"

　It's a word that goes straight into the listener's ears, with a whining, perhaps self‐deprecating.

"But there are things that I can't give up even though I know I'm not cool, and I'm sure everyone can't give up, no matter how miserable and pitiful I am, and I don't like it."
"Well... there's one in Arsh,""Dave? For that most important thing, I'm a very cool person who works hard for my bravery even if it's not cool, isn't it?
"...even if it's not cool...is it cool?"
"Of course! You try, you try, you try, you try, you try a few times if you're about to be discouraged... it's only as soon as you finish. It's the very last. It's a long way to go."
"So, so...?"
"Oh, well, really, it makes me cry."
"So, so..."
"But if I finish, that's the end of it, right? I think I. If I finish, I'm sure I won't be able to make as much effort as I am now."
"Can't you work hard if you finish?"
"Isn't it impossible to do all you can?"

　Barbara's face twists with anxiety.
　That look is an expectant look. the only word someone wants to say He's looking forward to it.

"So, isn't it still cool now? It means you can still try to be cool. You still have a chance to make an effort, don't you? That's super lucky, isn't it?"

　Barbara's eyes twinkle.

"Our future has unlimited possibilities, I mean, yes, that's right?

　Stand up straight, brush the dirt off his buttocks, and Percy reaches out to Barbara.

"At least to me, you looked cool before. It looked brilliant."
"Ah, Arsi...?"
"Oh, seriously," I think we look something like each other. Let's keep trying, old sport! Hehe!"

　Barbara's face turns red.
　He looked down impatiently, looked up nervously, and turned away again when he met his eyes.

　and slowly lifted his trembling hand????

"Well, yes... I'll do my best, too." Oh, Shin, Uh..."

　I took Percy by the hand.


　At the moment, the hall was noisy.


　Oh, no...
　No way, Barbara told Percy...?
　Huh?
　It's Percy. Huh?
　...Barbara!?

　Almost everyone in the hall is experiencing a spine-chilling discomfort, a vague obsession that makes it seem like they've seen something a little confused, incredible, and unutterable.
　That kind of atmosphere is spreading all around.

"...Arsh, I've always been told things like, 'You can't do that,' 'You're wrong,' and 'You don't understand'..."

　Barbara, without money, without a job, and with her sister's poor health, was still stuck in such a life.
　Adults who had access to Barbara would have said it in unison. 'Your way of life is wrong'

"But... at the bottom... if not... Arsi, is that all right?"
"I don't care if it's the bottom... you know, it's that." that trying to be no longer the bottom is already the bottom of the bottom?"
"Well... Aashi... ...wasn't at the bottom any more."

　Suddenly drops fell from Barbara's eyes.
　You must have been very concerned. Words like 'bottom' and 'lowest' are used.
　Is that why he spoke in a way that interrupted people, tried to compete with them, and always looked at them as enemies?
　Don't let me say words that I don't want to be told.

　Well, I probably only told him to do more.
　There was Teresa, and his way of thinking was dangerous... well, that was the hardest thing for Barbara.

　Maybe only Percy could unravel this.
　You have to have a super-positive mentality that can justify your worst stalking behavior.

"Well, let's continue to work hard together."
"Yes! Aashi, try harder... and be a better guy... and with you..."

　I started to say, let go of my hand, blushing easily, and half-cry eyes????

"Nothing!"

　--and he ran back to the White team, leaving a line like a wait‐and‐see.
　He immediately clings to Mokoka's back and hides himself by curling his back.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

"Oh, my... oh, my God, oh, oh, oh my God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God.

　Barbara bleeds like a fool.
　It's a little tearful, but it's a happy voice.

"Huh? Wasn't I your best friend?"
"He's a good friend! But he's as great a friend as you are... but he's a little different from you, dear friend... What's this... What's this... What's this? What's this? What'
"If you're going to throw up, I'll ask you over there.
"I won't throw up!? Oh, don't say strange things! What if you don't like me!"

　Barbara clung to Mokoka, who is the only one on whom we can discuss things like that.
I can't believe that the word 'if I don't like it' comes out of his mouth... well, to anyone other than Teresa.

　Oh my gosh, athletic meet!
　No, I wonder if there was a lot of new couples at school whenever there was an athletic meet or a cultural festival.
　I wonder if this ward sports day has even passed down such a bad custom...!

　...Oh, my God, athletic meet. No, seriously.



　--and
　Barbara's first love is relatively good.
　I'll start preparing to fire the traps I've been training.

　Ines and Deborah, Magda and Loretta are leading us around.
　Sophie is the key person.
　One of the many women who are considered to be in my natural position both domestically and internationally.

　It was a bit of a disadvantage, but they offered me the terms of the exchange terms of the exchange.


　Now... Let's get started.


"Sophie????????"Standing alone, I hid my mouth and looked down.
　with great dismay at the bottom of again

`--asked,'

　thrust one's knees to the ground, whispering a whisper that only the rabbits can hear.
　It's all over. It's all over. No matter how hard you try, you can't turn it around.
　with an atmosphere like that all over one's body

"Team leader".

　Sophie speaks to Magda in a commanding voice.

"This is Jiro's blunder."

　denounce me in a clear voice

"As Mr. Jiro told us, we had several sticks to hit the head of the Medra Guild and the hunting guild."

　The White team followed my strategy, holding one stick in each hand and moving to eliminate the free bar.
　in order to knock a hunting guild against a medra

　But if you have two sticks by yourself, that's not the case.
　Simply, if the other person pulls the stick with both hands, it will be easily taken away. No matter how hard you try, there's no way you can resist it if it takes a few people to come.
　They touch two sticks, but they fail to get one, and they are robbed.
　It was the worst strategy with such weaknesses.

"He believed that if the Hunting Guild and the Medra Guild were to crush each other, victory would come in. It's safe to say that I was overconfident."

　I told the White team to do so, and the White team put it into practice.
　The result is a fall to last place, or, no, a fall.
　What a blunder!

"So far, we've been following his bizarre tactics, and you can see the results. Strangely conspicuous, we have never won. Right, team leader?"
"... certainly, Sophie says,"
"But what do you want me to do? I wanted my brother to be good..."
"I'm saying that 'good' isn't good. It's true that Mr. Yashiro has made some achievements so far. But don't they all feel like they've won because of the uncertainty of winning or losing?"

　In a black‐and‐white race like an athletic meet, my trick doesn't work.
　That's where Sophie lashes out.

"It's dangerous to follow his strategy for the rest of the competition. I suggest that you change your staff."

　Not to mention the White team, but the players of the other teams also spoke nothing.
　Silence fell on the ground as it began to dim.


"That's not the case,"


　It was Jeanette who broke the silence.

"Mr. Yashiro's achievements are not for nothing. Clearly, that has only changed in a very happy direction!"

　Oh, Jeanette is kind of mad.
　It's not good!
　I was going to explain it to Jinet.Oh, I see. Didn't he go into detail because he didn't participate in a bar‐pulling game and was excited about preparing dinner?
　Ines, Deborah, hold down Jeanette.

"Mr. Manager, come this way."
"You've got a big misunderstanding.
"It's not a misunderstanding! Mr. Jiro, regardless of his own hardships, and sometimes even hurt, for us... for the people of this city..."

　Yeah, yeah!
　This will make Sophie a complete villain!
　And the strategy is paper!

　Ines and Deborah look up.
with a look like, "This guy seems impossible to shut up."
　Hey, hey, hey! Don't look at me now. I'm sure you'll find out the strategy!
　Natalia and Lucia might not notice that I am telling them to avoid me!

　I can't help it...

"Sophie..."

　Only the Rabbits give the following instructions in a voice that is audible.

"Mr. Manager,"
"What is it?"
"In a good way!"
"...in that sense?"

　Jeanette tilts her head slightly.
　Oh, no, I can't!
　I thought Genet would be able to trick her with this kind of stupid return, but she was definitely that stupid!

"I don't mind if it's in a good way,"

　Are you fooled!?
　Is this girl really okay?
　A girl who doesn't mind putting her out into society!?

　Still, Jeanette still creates an air of indecision.
　throw in secret weapons because there's nothing we can do about it

`...ribeca -- mumbling, mumbling, mumbling, mumbling, mumbling, mumbling, mumbling, mumbling, mumbling,'
`I admit to my knight, too!'

　Libeka jumps at Jeanette under my direction.
　Then, I tell Genet exactly what I say.

"My knight and I form an alliance!"
"That's a great idea!"

　"""Then let's increase the number of people who work hard to become friends,"" says Jeanette, high-fiveing on both hands raised by Libeka."
　Oh, Libeka. Can you bring Jeanette to me?
　And Sophie. Don't stare so hard at Libeka for protecting me. Because it's acting? Because it's only for direction that you look at me as an enemy?
　Ha ha, what a perfectly recognized enemy eyes!

"Yasilo! I and Libeka are on your side."
"Look, Jeanette. Listen to me without speaking."

　I will tell Jeanette who came to me crouching about this strategy.
　After all, I should have explained to him in advance. Sometimes I get so obstinate that I can't help but......... Don't do anything special."Oh... was that the case?"
"Well, that's it,"
"Well, then, if I don't speak ill of Mr. Jiro... ...well... ...and Mr. Jiro... well... well..."
"No, you don't have to do anything. If anything, don't do it. You'll find out in two seconds."

　It's impossible for Jeanette to speak ill of anyone.
　So I'm going to get Libeka here.

"Ribeka, will you help me?"
"Leave it to me!"
"It will come to everyone's mind that your sister's opinion is correct because of your work."
"You see! I'll be glad to have your sister recognized." She's my proud sister!"
`Squeeze!'

　A rabbit was shot in the distance.
　Hey! Don't let me hear you in the distance.
　There are a lot of people I don't know, but I just forget about Estella.

　Now that it's in danger, I'm going to carry out my strategy quickly.

`--Sophie, it's the end,'
"Leave it to me! I'm proud of you!"

　Shouting unnecessary things, Sophie points her finger at me and declares.

"We'll do whatever we want in the next competition.
"Certainly,"

　Like following Sophie, Ines and Deborah, Nikka and Carl gather around Sophie and stand against me.

"If you can't keep sticking to winning, you may want to give up on winning and prioritize having fun."
"There are a lot of people who couldn't compete to score. That's unfair."
"In the first place, only anchovies were so particular about winning!"
"I can't go out with him any more!"

　Magda thinks twice after Sophie's opinion.
　Then, slowly raise your head and speak slowly.

"…can't help it." Everyone's opinion is reasonable. I will participate in the next competition in order to show those who have not been able to play well so far."

　Then Magda just moved her neck and looked at me.

"...this is Magda's decision. Magda will listen if you have any complaints."

　I raised my hands silently at the remark.
　a complete surrender
　I don't meddle in the way I play the game anymore.
　Do the rest for yourself.

　It's a gesture that looks like that.

"Then I'll be in the same league as my sister!"
"Rebecker! I've always thought it'd be nice to be with Rebecca!"

　Rabbit sisters twirl hand in hand.

"Nicka, I'll be in the same group as you".
"Of course," ...and I'd like to be with you, too.
"Well, we'll be in the same group, Carl,"
"That's the senior, isn't it, Mr. Cab?"
"What!? Cab, Maru... Don't disturb me."
"Don't disturb me,"Well! What?"
"Yes. Well, what? If you mess with me, I might put a little bit of strength on your hand on your shoulder, right?"
"Oh, Oni Dazo, our seniors!"

　beetles and stag beetles that inhibit the Icharab of the Swan couple. All right, boys. Show off your worst seniority!

"... Magda is better."
"Of course! The oiras support the magdatane well! Good, goozya, yambold!"
"Well, I'm going to decide on my own... well, I knew what the boss thought from the beginning."
"I support Magda's butt!"
"If you touch it, it's ten years without pay!"
"No, no, no! I'll touch it for a while, absolutely!"
"Gooseuya has been there for twenty years!"
"Isn't it not Jiro's comparison, but rather a beast?"

　Torbeck seems to support Magda's feet.
　...and goozoozoozoozoozoozoozooz Say something to me. Hey. Wasleneikarana...?

"Loretta-chan☆ Please~"
"All right! Then Marsha's feet will be played by Atashi and the Hewitt Sisters!"
"Wow ☆ You look so fast ☆"

　Beyond, a group of Loretta sisters had been completed to carry Marsha.
　Will Marsha be able to participate above? I see.


　Now that you've come to this point, you'll understand that….


　That's it
　The next competition will be the regular sports day.
It's a cavalry battle.

　"""upper"" is important, but ""horse"" is also important, which is responsible for the battle with the enemy."
　Each of them seems to be deciding on the team at will, but in fact, they are the right people.


　With the help of a stick, I was a little too aggressive and it backfired spectacularly.
　As a result, the White team didn't listen to me and decided to do whatever they wanted.
　They're already putting fun before winning.

　"Yasilo, Ome no Seat" is a great strategy to make people think like that!
　Well, I knew this kind of strategy was going to come with Jeanette, but she was out of the question.I mean, I thought Jeanette wouldn't mind what's around her if she was cooking... but she made me worry too much.
　I'm not exonerating him, but I'm not--

"Mr. Jiro, let's be in the same class as me."

　I was going to be with him, but he offered me.
"I'll be by your side,"
　So it's a strategy, and I'm not hated... ...nothing, right? Are you okay? So, what?

"Well, thank you very much,"
"Yes!"

　Jeanette smiles like the sun even after dark.
　Can't you put off cooking?

"Hero".

　Barbara stands in front of me and Jeanette.
　Oh... Come to think of it, I thought he was going to be my daughter-in-law... Don't do that, I'm going to show my hostility to Jeanette here...

"I didn't like you that much when I thought about it,"
"...what?"
"So, I'm sorry," I can't be your daughter-in-law, after all."

　What's this?

"Well, you know... marriage, you know, with a loved one, right? Sounds like you're doing it, isn't it?"
"Oh, my. Well,"
"So you can't do it, but you're a pretty good guy, and I'm sure someone will show up!" Don't be so depressed!"

　I'm being dumped by Barbara!?
　Why?
　I didn't show any favor at all!?
　Rather, I've been giving out a lot of course!

　Why am I being dumped?

"Well, I'd like to team up with a hero if I could, you know, with a hero, and for a time it was a little rumour, wasn't it?"

　It's you! It's you who tried so hard to ignite that groundless rumor and put smoke in the middle of nowhere!
　So, for a while, it's just a short time!

"So, you know, when you're in the same group, you're kind of teased, you know, you're in trouble if you're mistaken." So I can't be in the same group! I'm sorry! Somebody hit me! See you!"

　I was refused even though I didn't ask him.
　I'm being dumped again. Me!?

　What is it?
　I wonder if hitting Percy will do you any harm?"
　It was five seconds before I killed him.

"Barbara, please join me again. and now we'll work together to defeat the enemy!"
"Oh! It's where I want it!"

　So, Barbara is excited to find a partner.

　I'll tell you one thing.
　No, it's two.

　Because I didn't fall in love with you!?
　That's why I'm not frustrated at all!?

　It's just amazing!

"Pah... oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!!"
"Yasilo, Yasilo! I'm scared of your face".

　It's not my face that's scary.
　He's a blind lover who's steeped in delusions.
　Whether you agree or disagree, we'll get hurt. I'm the only one who's badly burned.

"Let's cheer for Barbara's first love".
`Anyhow,'
"Isn't it cool? My first love".
"Did you have your first love?"
"My first love is Sister."

　Come to think of it, did you say that?

"So, is my grandfather next? ○○○○○ He's only older."
"Mr. Yashiro, your mouth was moving like 'fantastic' ... you'll get in trouble, Sister."

　Hmmm. If you don't say it out loud, it won't be recorded in the conversation record.

"I'm not interested in other people's happiness."
"Uh-huh.

　What's with that "again" smile?
　I don't like it.

"So, are you interested in your own happiness?"
"Of course,"

　I'm the kind of person who can cry for misfortune, if I'm happy.
　My happiness comes first. It's only natural.

"I am interested, too. To Jiro's happiness."
"Huh?"
"If possible, I'd like to see Yashiro smiling happily forever and close by."

　for ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.

　Hey, Jeanette.
　That's what I call a proposal in my hometown.

　Well, manzai duo have been together for a long time, and it might be an invitation to make a duo!
　I don't know what you really mean. Nobody knows.
　It's just a waste of money to use your brain for something you don't know. Let's not think about it any more! Yes, let's go!

"Then Jeanette is on horseback,""What!? Why did you suddenly come to that? Oh, well, I saw it in a demonstration, and I thought maybe it's impossible..."
"It's all right," I don't think it's that kind of course.
"I don't feel all right!"

　You ought to be aware of it'
　in the reality that one is having a hard time after one's carelessness

　...you can think a little more and talk a little more. d*mn it!

"Mr. Cometzki".
"Fluffy breasts,"
"Don't call me that, Deborah!"

　Ines and Deborah came and Jeanette plunged into Deborah.
　I guess it's like a manzai duo, Jeanette.

"I heard that the cavalry battle is a team of four."
"We'll serve as the other two."
"Oh, you're a hundred men."
"And I ad-libbed and followed some of the cracks during the previous operation."
"I say it myself, but it was a wonderful skill."
"Yes. Don't say it yourself, that's what it is. Deborah, there's something like that, so be careful."
`It's about time!'
"I suppose you agree with Ines!"
"Okay, okay! It was great, amazing, awesome, you guys were really nice!"
"I'm satisfied."

　this smug head of waiters
　I wonder... more and more idiots are able to do their jobs.

　So, in the big strategy of 'Let's enjoy the rest of the competition to the fullest, no matter what the championship is, we're in last place.' We aim to win the championship.

　First of all, a horse fight!

　Look.


　When the cavalry battle is over, you guys will be taken aback. Hmm... Hmm!



　When the sky turned purple and I couldn't see the faces of people a little further away.
　The bonfire was lit and the ground looked just like a battlefield.


　The performance was also effective, and the players' voltage continued to rise.
