The rice is done!
The miso soup is okay, too.
Doesn't it smell nice?
It's gonna taste great!
Hot, hot!
You're supposed to do it after you wet your hands.
Oh~! This apron came in handy again.
Or rather, this is the right way to use them.
That's right.
Subarun was so surprised back then.
Welcome home, darling!
If I remember correctly, it was Saki's idea to welcome Subarun with the swimsuit-apron outfit, right?
I had so much confidence in it...
What was wrong with it?
Even Ice Age, the class president, completely fails in capturing boys' hearts.
I don't want to hear that from someone who can't even make onigiri!
That's got nothing to do with it!
I'm going to call Subarun in.
Subarun!
It's time for lunch.
Growing my determination

I was set up by Miho-nee again...
Training camp?
It's for the school basketball tournament.
Basketball tournament?
Those girls are the representatives for our class, 6-C.
So you want me to help them do some special training at a training camp?
You've got time anyway, right?
Don't just decide that on your own.
Those girls will be disappointed when they hear it's going to be cancelled.
They were so happy when I told them about it during lunch.
As I thought, you can't refuse, right?
You're a devil...
Since I accepted that proposal, I want to help them win.
Subarun!
It's time for lunch!
Sorry for letting you guys handle all the work.
It's fine, it's fine.
It's just onigiri and miso soup anyway.
That's more than enough.
Then let's go, darling.
Let's eat!
Everyone helped make the food.
That onigiri was made by Tomoka.
Tomoka made it?
Um, please go ahead.
Okay, then.
Hina made this.
I made this.
You can eat mine, too.
As expected, this is pretty hard on my stomach...
Mine is a super big onigiri. Service version!
How does it taste?
The amount of stock is just right. It tastes good.
Really?
Did Saki make this?
Yes.
Saki will be a good wife when she grows up.
Everyone will be good wives when they grow up!
Yeah, everyone will!
I think everyone will!
Let's practice in the gym during the afternoon.
Yes!
Train us well, Subaru!
We don't want to lose to Class D, after all.
Class D?
The boys' basketball club is mostly made up of people from Class D.
The tournament is open to both boys and girls, so...
In other words, it'll end up being another match with the boys' basketball club?
That reminds me, weren't you all in the same class as Takenaka from the boys' club?
Yes...
You'll win if you manage to get him to team up with you guys, right?
Ah, well...
Um...
He isn't participating.
Takenaka-kun decided to enter the soccer tournament,
so he won't be playing basketball.
Soccer?
Isn't Takenaka the captain of the boys' basketball team?
Well, that's true, but...
Natsuhi- Takenaka said he wouldn't play basketball with Maho no matter what.
He won't play with Maho?
Why would he say something like that?
Even without him, we can still win!
Since it's a training camp, we can train all the way into the evening!
Oh~!
Hina is the worst at basketball, so I'll try my best!
Let's all try our best together!
Natsuhi!
Why are you here?!
Shut up.
It's got nothing to do with you.
What?!
Hasegawa-san!
What's the matter, Saki?
There's trouble!
Please come immediately!
Hey!
What do you want?!
Isn't that...
...Takenaka?
Why is he here?
You bastard!
Why you!
We have to stop them right now!
Even if you try to stop them, those two won't listen to you at all...
Natsuhi!
I'll settle this once and for all today!
That's my line!
All right, stop right there!
You entered the basketball tournament?
That's right.
Weren't you going to play soccer because you didn't want to play with me?!
The teacher put me into basketball by mistake!
By mistake?
She said that everyone who entered the basketball tournament had to go on a training camp,
so I made a special effort to come down.
Oh~!
I missed...
What's the meaning of this?
Oh, sorry.
I forgot to tell you.
There's one more member taking part in the training camp.
Takenaka Natsuhi.
Over!
You knew Takenaka and Maho weren't on good terms, right?
He couldn't refuse the idea.
I put him in basketball by mistake, but when I asked him if he minded,
he said, "I don't really mind", and, "It's not that I don't want to take part in the training camp."
"Not that I don't want to"?
Aren't he and Maho...
Basically, basketball is a lot more important to him than his conflict with Maho.
I just took advantage of that.
So you tested it out?
You have a nice personality, as usual.
But what are you going to do about Maho?
Well, there's nothing I can do.
You can't?
If I stepped in and told them to stop arguing, I'm sure they would stop straight away.
Isn't that what we want?
I'm telling you, you shouldn't do something like that.
They're no longer so innocent that they'll make up just because they stop arguing.
Wait a second.
I don't mind coaching basketball, but telling me to mediate an argument...
Idiot.
Did you think I would leave those delicate matters to you?
Did you really have to insult me like that?
Oh...
Oh~, Takenaka!
Pass~!
Geez, can you catch the ball properly?
Feh~
Of course I can!
Here.
Yes~!
Nice pass.
What is it?
Since you already made the effort to come down for the camp, why not practise together?
Huh?
I thought you were just being creepy, staying with the girls' basketball club.
So you're actually acting like a coach?
Get caught already, you lolicon bastard.
Subarun!
You should leave that idiot alone!
Shut up, Maho, you idiot!
Try saying that one more time, you bastard!
Calm down, Maho!
What do you mean by "idiot"?!
What happened between you and Maho?
Nothing.
Let me go!
I have nothing to do with her.
If you're so against it, just go home, you idiot!
Shut up, idiot!
Maho's right.
What was that, you bastard?!
Try saying that again!
If you didn't want to take part in the camp and...
People who call people idiots are the real idiots!
...the basketball tournament, you could have just turned it down, right?
Don't misunderstand.
I think it's a lot better having you here.
I'm trying to tell you that's not the case!
Even with Minato, these guys won't be able to beat 6-D without me.
Don't mess with us!
Even without Natsuhi, we'd still win!
Natsuhi...!
Takenaka.
I'm going for a run.
I'll be here until the end of the camp,
but I won't be practising with you guys.
Wait up, Natsuhi!
We're going to choose the regulars for the tournament now.
What?
The winner between you and me will become the regular.
Even if we're not allowed to argue, Subarun can't complain if we settle this through basketball!
Your basketball isn't even worth looking at.
Don't mess with me!
Calm down, Maho.
Wait up!
Oh~, violent pervert.
Come back and settle this, Natsuhi!
Strangely, they've been at odds for a while now.
Ever since that match, Natsuhi has been blatantly ignoring Maho.
If it's because he's frustrated about losing, then it's weird that he's only targeting Maho.
Did you say anything to Takenaka?
I don't know!
I argue with him a lot, so I might say a lot of things, but...
This happens every time!
What did he mean, "Not worth looking at"?!
He's such an idiot!
Saki, you've known both of them for a long time, right?
Could you do something about it?
I've thought about trying to help, but...
We haven't been fighting.
What are you so stubborn about?
If it's something Maho did, I can talk to her about it for you.
Shut up.
Don't get in the way of my practice.
...it turned out like that.
I see.
[Name] Hakamada Hinata
[Birthdate] March 3rd
[Blood Type] O
[Class] Grade 6, Class C
[Height] 131cm
[Chest Size] Second smallest in the club.
[Style] Animal Caretaker
[Grades] She isn't good at numbers and
analysing readings.
You want me to help you?
I want us to think of a strategy to help Takenaka and Maho make up during this training camp.
Of course I want the two of them to make up, but I'm not good at things like this.
I don't think I'd be of much help...
I see.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it.
I just asked you because I felt most comfortable talking to you about this.
Sorry for saying something weird all of a sudden.
I'll go ask Saki again.
I'll do it!
Although I'm not good at it,
if Subaru-san says I'm the best for this job, I can't say no!
Really?
Thank you.
I'm going to try my best!
All right, let's have a strategy meeting right now.
Let's do our best!
Yeah...
Plan A
Geez, the two of you are way too strong!
Yay, we won three times in a row!
This is nothing.
It's going well, right?
I'm surprised you had a game console here.
Miho-nee-
Mihoshi-sensei told me to bring one, you see.
I wasn't so sure about the idea of playing games during a training camp.
But it ended up being surprisingly useful.
Maybe Miho-nee planned for this to happen from the start...
No, I'm over-thinking it.
Tomo, let's change over.
Me?
I can't.
I hardly ever play games, so...
Come and play, Mo-kan.
I won't go easy on you, though.
This feels pretty good.
Huh, is that it?
Did we win?
With that, they've won five times in a row.
On top of that, they never lost.
You lousy...
Isn't it your fault? You super lousy...
You...
...bastard!
Hey, stop that!
Stop it!
Huh?
I'm sorry.
Don't worry.
People get really fired up over video games, so that probably wasn't a good idea.
All right, let's move on to the next plan.
Yes!
Plan B
Um, pass.
Oh~!
Nothing but the five of hearts will work.
Pass.
I pass, too.
Hasegawa-san, do you have any playable cards?
No, I'll pass too.
Who's going to stop it?
Hey, what are you looking at?
Hey, Natsuhi, you're going to stop it, right?
I'm not gonna do that.
You wanna fight?
You bastard...
Could you guys stop it already?
Subaru-san!
Plan C
Yay~!
I cut the carrot.
Okay!
Who's in charge of the onions?
I'm sorry. My eyes sting so much that I'm not getting anywhere.
Why do I have to do something like this?
If you don't want to do it, then don't eat!
First of all, you're just leaving us with a lot of unusable onions by cutting them like that, aren't you?
What did you say?!
You wanna fight?!
You guys shouldn't fight!
Oh~!
This time, it's a vegetable battle.
Geez, I'll go call Hasegawa-san.
It doesn't seem to be going well.
Apparently the two of them got along pretty well in the past.
Saki told me secretly that their relationship worsened after Maho started playing basketball.
So what's irritating Takenaka is the fact that Maho is playing basketball?
The reason might be me.
Maho made the basketball club for me, so...
Tomoka.
Pinch.
It's got nothing to do with that.
This has nothing to do with you.
Their argument is just between the two of them.
Subaru-san...
Tomo!
Hasegawa-san!
I'm sorry!
It was so dark that I didn't realise...
It's okay!
I didn't hear anything. I didn't secretly take a photo with my mobile phone either, so don't worry.
I'm really sorry.
I didn't know that Tomoka and Hasegawa-san had that kind of relationship!
I didn't think that you two had progressed this far...
Hold on!
I don't know what you've misconstrued, but you're thinking out loud.
I got carried away...
I was really surprised just then.
Geez, I was the one who was surprised.
Jyabo~!
The curry was delicious, right?
Yeah~!
It's delicious when everyone makes it.
Hey, Hina, don't splash the water around.
Maho, you know...
It's about Takenaka-kun.
Oh~!
I saw Takenaka and Onii-chan leaving just a while ago.
With Subarun?
They said they were going to the supermarket to buy some juice.
Sorry for making you come along.
It's okay. I had nothing to do anyway.
There really is nothing around the school.
Yeah.
It would be good if there was a convenience store.
Yeah.
Hey, Takenaka.
Why do you dislike the fact that Maho is playing basketball?
You don't know anything, and that's why you can ask something like that.
What don't I know, then?
She'll quit.
Quit?
That's right!
In the end, she will. Even basketball, Maho will just...
No matter what Maho does, she becomes good at it right away.
She was so receptive to basketball; I was quite surprised at the start.
She has a genius's potential.
Be it gymnastics or skipping, she learns faster than anyone else.
I didn't want to lose to her, so I trained frantically so I could do the same things as her.
But by the time I finally managed to do it, she had already lost interest.
And she would say, "Forget that; let's play hide-and-seek!"
After she learns how to do something, she quickly loses interest.
When it was gymnastics and skipping, it was fine.
But if she does the same thing with basketball,
I won't tolerate it.
If she dumps basketball, I won't be able to forgive her anymore.
I'll cut all ties with her before that happens.
Are you trying to say that Maho will lose interest in basketball and quit?
What does she know about basketball, besides how to score a few shots?
She'll definitely say, "Oh, this is all there is to basketball", and quit again!
Maho is that kind of person.
You too-
What is it?
115.
116.
Maho...
Shooting practice?
At this hour?
And by herself?
118!
I remember Tomoka saying something like this.
Even on days when there's no practice, she still does this without exception.
120!
I think Maho isn't just working for herself, but for everyone in the girls' basketball club, too.
121!
She won't quit.
Looks like she finally managed to reach it.
Finally reached it?
Not just playing around, but seriously doing something.
124!
It just happened that there wasn't a girls' basketball club in school, so she got there a little later than you.
I'm going to bed.
Hey, do you still think Maho will quit?
Even though Maho is like that, she can't stand monsters, and she hates dark places the most.
Good night.
130!
