Good work out there today.
Meow. You too.
Hey, listen! The Umenomori Academy's sports festival is coming up pretty soon, right?
So of course they're going to do the inter-class three-legged race, right?
Ah, the one where anyone can participate as long as they're a town resident?
I think they will.
Hurray! I think I'll pair up with Takumi this year.
What?!
Why is Takumi going to pair with you?
Because we're siblings!
There's no rule making that necessary.
So, what are you up to?
Hmm? Ah, I uploaded that thing from a while ago, so I was thinking about showing it to everyone.
That thing?
Oh, that!
The Stray Cats Association's first true activity!
A masterpiece video worthy of commemoration!
Hurry up and show it to us.
I got it already.
Click.
Not bad, not bad!
The response isn't bad, either!
So cute!
Good job, Kiriya.
But, yeah...
When somebody near you becomes famous nationwide via the Internet, it's a strange feeling.
That's her!
Find the origin of this video immediately!
Yes, ma'am!
I've found you, Nozomi.

11 "The Stray Cats are Divided"
Those of you who want to participate in the obstacle course, raise your hand!
President, I want to do it!
Yoshida of the Shogi Club throws his hat in the ring!
Hold it right there!
Here's one! Is that a "hold it right there!" from Suzuma of the Brass Band?
If I remember correctly, aren't we supposed to be deciding on the events at the sports festival?
He enters the ring! Could this be a one-on-one match?!
Most likely.
And? What's wrong? What's wrong?
Are there no more? No more?
Halt!
What's this? Something of the matter, Chise-cchi?
It would appear you're getting fired up from deciding on events...
but you're not fired up enough!
I have an announcement for you!
Using our Academy's website, we will broadcast a video feed of our sports festival to the entire world!
What?
Of course, it will be no mere video feed.
Professional cameramen and editors will be hired.
Costumes will be prepared for every single student.
It will be the most heart-pounding, pumped-up apex of videography!
Just for you.
Brought to you by the Stray Cats Association.
Stray Cats Association
I'm not going to stop you showing off, but don't get us involved in this.
On that day, sixteen cameras and a film crew will catch every delicious scene perfectly.
Stop deciding things all by yourself!
She really did it.
In a single day.
You can't underestimate the Umenomori family's technological prowess.
This is... a sports festival.
No, hold it, Nozomi...
Well? Is everything to your liking?
Umenomori!
Regardless of whether we like it or not...
You've overdone it.
No need to worry.
The cameras I've had set up are all top-of-the-line HD models with 3D support.
No, that's not what we were worrying about.
Of course, only the finest costumes are prepared for those being filmed.
Swish.
Swoosh.
Bloomers?
Why bloomers?
The outfit which has, in reality, been extinct...
I will make a second announcement!
Abolishing the currently used shorts as a gym outfit, the Umenomori Academy female uniform will now be bloomers!
I...
I love bloomers!
Wow, that freaked me out.
The circular form that wraps around the buttocks...
The peculiar feeling of the artificial fabric...
How the hem wraps around the thighs so tightly...
I love it in its entirety.
I could say that I'm in love with them!
Rather, I want to make them part of my diet!
I think I'd like to stop being your friend.
Why you... making all the decisions on your own again.
No cause for concern, a more than sufficient amount of bloomers have been prepared.
That's not it!
There's no way I will ever wear bloomers!
Do you think that there's a way to defy me in this academy?
Why don't I test it for you.
This place is always so fun.
Although...
any more than this and it would be a luxury.
What?!
Like I said, the people in the shopping district were asking if I was going to participate in the inter-class three-legged race, so...
I said I'd be participating with my cute brother!
Why has it become like that?
I think the opinions of both parties are important here!
Exactly! Takumi will be participating with his fiancée: me.
You're at it again...
Oh my, Fumino-chan, do you want to participate with Takumi in the three-legged race, too?
Huh?
W-Well, we are about the same height...
We've known each other for a long time, so we can probably match our breathing together...
But I'm not saying that I want to participate with Takumi, OK?
All right then, Serizawa's out.
Why?!
You just said it yourself!
Takumi is going to be all lovey-dovey with Onee-chan!
He will not!
You're always doing things on your own!
Um, we're still open.
Yeah, it's one-sided!
Nozomi?
What?
Ah, I guess, it's just...
Thanks as always, OK?
That's enough for now.
Ah! Takumi, pet Onee-chan's head too!
No! I'm first!
Stop that, nobody's first!
Thanks for waiting.
Is it good?
No, this is for them.
Sorry, but the plates can only hold so much happiness.
That's why...
What the heck is this?!
[Welcome to Earth's Last Bloomer Paradise!]
What are you thinking?! Are you trying to advertise our academy's humiliation to the entire town?!
Take it down immediately!
That would be impossible.
Why?
It's the sports festival's theme.
I have already obtained the majority of the student body's approval.
Eh?! What's happening?
Life is Bloomers
Good work assembling, my servants.
All hail Bloomania!
This is-
I just told you. The majority have become my followers.
Wait, this fight isn't over just yet!
What a foolish woman.
By this point, do you think the boys will choose gym shorts, which lack any hint of moe?
The answer is "no."
Nobody can deny the power of bloomers!
Well, I'm not sure that...
Do bloomers truly have that much power over the hearts of boys?
Huh?
At this rate...
Hello? Earth to Fumino?
Hold it.
Kanae?
The Fumino I know, regardless of circumstances, has an unshakable soul of intrepidity.
Sorry, Kanae.
I had forgotten something important.
That's right. The moment I lose...
...is the moment my life reaches its end!
Um...?
You waste your breath.
No matter how much you rant, you cannot win against the power of bloomers.
If so, then...
Then, we girls...
Rather than bloomers...
...suggest tights!
Did she say... tights?!
You've brought an excellent point to light, Fumino.
Revealing the lines of the buttocks with their black colour and three-centimetre length...
A captivating item exuding a "sports girl" aura!
Observe! Even within the boys' ranks, it would appear that unrest is stirring!
Hey, you bunch!
Traitors will not be forgiven!
With this, the outcome has become hazy.
Such impertinence!
Speaking of which, Takumi-cchi, which side will you take?
Huh?
Err, um...
Of course, you're on my side, right?!
With you both saying that, I...
Out with it!
Are you not my serf!
More importantly, you know...
Bloomers and tights...
Both are great!
Huh?
It goes without saying that I'm disappointed in that speech.
Read between the lines a little, why don't you!
Anyway, I won't let you do whatever you want with the sports festival.
Say anything you want.
I'll let you know who's the real leader here.
With that, the academy was split into two great factions.
It would be the beginning of the "Bloody Bloomers Incident," the fiercest battle to be recorded in the chronicles of the academy.
Found him! It's Tsuzuki Takumi!
chotto kiite yo chikyuu ga abunai
Listen to me, the entire world's in danger.
This song...!
itsumo no koto sa
Though it's always like that.
ore wa neru
I'm going to sleep.
soko ni tacchi
I touch yonder spot
haato ni kyacchi
and my heart is caught.
nuida buruma wa oiteike
Put down those bloomers you took off and get outta there.
oo oo sankyuu buruma (arigatou)
Oh, oh... Thank you, bloomers! (Thank you!)
oo oo sankyuu buruma
Oh, oh... Thank you, bloomers!
Takumi, it is high time you are initiated into the ranks of the Bloomer Army.
Führer Umenomori awaits you.
mata raishuu
See you next week!
As if I would!
Then I have no choice.
Bloomer Chain!
Tights Meteor Fist!
My precious bloomer chain...!
This must be...
Damned Tights Faction!
daiuke dakedo amari mitsumenaide
They're well accepted but please, don't stare at them too much.
shisen de yaburechaisou
It feels as though they'll tear from your gaze.
atashi no haato mo yaburechaisou
And my poor heart will tear as well.
Exactly when did you get a theme song?
We won't allow the Bloomer Faction to do as they please!
Curse you, Tights Faction!
Bloomers.
Tights.
Bloomers!
Tights!
Takumi-cchi, come with me!
Tights Faction
Headquarters
Wow, that was pretty close!
You really saved me, Class President.
Everyone, the front schoolyard is under our control.
Welcome back, Fumino.
Hey, what's he doing here?
Did he join the Tights Faction?
Ah, no.
It looked as though he was about to get captured and brought to Chise-cchi, so I saved him.
You should have just let him be caught.
What's wrong, Fumino?
It's Takumi-cchi, after all.
It's your slightly precocious childhood friend.
I don't care about people like him.
I'm not going to tell you to join our side.
We're off to recapture the girls' bathroom on the third floor.
Somebody come with me.
OK!
What's with you? We've been childhood friends for so many years.
Understand already.
Oh dear. Seems like she's in a bad mood.
I chose to side with neither faction, and it's probably irritating her.
Take care of one thing and another pops up... must be tough.
About that, well...
There's something that's been bothering me.
Bothering you?
Kiriya, are you sure you don't want to go back?
Well, I don't have particular interest in either bloomers or tights, but not choosing a faction seems...
Hey, you two.
Takumi.
Unharmed, I see.
Somehow.
How?
I asked the class president.
She told me you might be here.
And, recently, it seems like you haven't been feeling well.
I'm not feeling well?
That's what I sensed.
I see.
Do you have something you're worrying about?
There's a cat...
A cat?
Yes. There are three cats.
No, four cats.
But there's only one plate for their meals.
What should I do?
Couldn't you get another plate?
I can't.
There is only one meal, and only one cat can eat it.
What should I do?
What should you do, yeah...
It's OK. Forget it.
Still, if anything happens, just talk to me.
What exactly is Nozomi worrying about?
Excuse me, sir...
Huh?
I apologize, but I sprained my ankle while walking down the corridor.
Goodbye.
Are you going to leave a poor, frail girl behind?!
More importantly, aren't you Umenomori's maid?!
This whole thing sets off major "trap" alarms!
Impressive instincts.
Chest to my back...
Had you let yourself be tricked, you might have had things far more pleasurable done to you.
Seriously?!
Just kidding!
I've been expecting you, Tsuzuki Takumi.
Although not long ago, we were attending class in the same classroom.
But seriously, get these ropes off me!
Or at least do something about this absurdly complicated method of knot-tying!
Takumi. You will work in the Bloomer Faction's highest office...
...no... as my right-hand man.
Don't wanna.
Why?!
And you! Why are you so stubborn about bloomers?
It's because...
It is because Chise-sama is the textbook definition of a childish figure.
By wearing bloomers, she could become the most charming person in the academy.
As proof, observe...
With us...
It lacks the same degree of appeal.
Most regrettable.
Don't stare like some halfwit!
Don't take pictures!
We could not have dreamed that Serizawa-sama would suggest something such as tights.
As she was embarrassed to wear bloomers by herself, we suggested that the entire student body be made to wear them.
Should we fail here, she will be forced to fight in Serizawa's territory, wearing tights.
And in 3D HD over the internet!
Ah, how pitiful milady is!
Stop with the talking!
Put down your skirts!
Yes.
In any case, Takumi is my ally!
We will do the sports festival together!
We will do the three-legged race together, too!
Three-legged race?
Enemy raid! Enemy raid!
zettai ryouiki arimasen
There isn't an absolute territory
atashi-tachi wa supattsu-ha da
All of us together are the Tights Faction
Umenomori, I'll have you return Takumi to us.
I'm saved!
Now, hand Takumi over to me.
No way! I've taken Takumi for myself!
Again with the selfish drivel!
It's already decided!
Takumi is mine.
And why is he yours?
Who decided? At what hour? Minute? Second?
Um...
I decided!
I, Umenomori Chise decided it, so it is the absolute truth!
At least do something about this rope...
You! Who do you think you are?!
Serizawa Fumino! What exactly do you want to do with Takumi?
Huh?
Takumi said he would become family with me!
Not exactly become family, more like...
What do you want to become, Serizawa Fumino!
I...
I want... to...
Takumi... and I...
...are going to be in the three-legged race together!
That's right!
Takumi isn't very good at anything but running away from things, and only I can catch up to him.
So to win in the three-legged race, I've no choice but to team up with him.
I'm not pleased with it, but that's why I need him.
Understood?
I don't.
That's just how it is, so give up on your bloomers and the three-legged race.
You think I'm going to accept that reasoning?!
Pardon, I have a proposal.
Who's that?
Oh my, oh my. It's Tamao-senpai.
You know her?
This is Kujino Tamao-senpai, a third-year student.
She's president of the Light Music Club and all female students look up to her.
Undoubtedly one of the Academy's most valued flowers!
It looks like there are those who don't know me, though.
Sorry.
So? What does a third-year want?
Since people from the town will be here during the sports festival, I don't believe having conflicts like this is a good idea.
So we should determine a location to settle this once and for all.
A location to settle this?
Right. In a week, we'll be having a rehearsal before the sports festival, correct?
Have your match at that time.
Until then, you should avoid any conflicts and focus only on honing your skills.
Do not involve yourself in any factions.
The bloomers versus tights decision will be decided only at the rehearsal.
How about it?
Most interesting.
The winner and loser will be made most clear.
Then it's decided!
Um, yeah! Hey, um... right...
And so the battle was delayed for a week until the moment of the rehearsal.
The pact made at this moment would come to be known as the Light Music Club Pact.
Welcome!
Can I interest you in anything?
Today, I suggest our Pâtisserie's Mont Blanc made by our pâtissier-
Pardon.
Here's my card.

There's something we forgot to say.
What could that be?
The truth is, I am Chise-sama and Takumi-sama and everyone's classmate.
And I happen to be a second-year, one year above them.
Next time, final episode: The Stray Cats Decided.

This will be the end, I assure you.
