Chapter 25 – Sports Festival 4
The festival is now moving on to the final competition.
The criteria for evaluating the cheer battle, including technical points and excitement, are somewhat unclear.
The first place went to the blue team, who showcased cheerleading.
Following them were the red, white, and yellow team.
Although we had the lowest points, Kanja-sensei came and explained it to me.
“You guys didn’t lose to the other teams in terms of excitement, but you didn’t get the technical points. The blue team was mainly made up of the cheerleading team, who taught the other girls and put on a big performance. They took first place in both technique and excitement. The red team was also second only to the blue group in technique and excitement. The white team was judged to have great technique, but lacked excitement.”
That makes sense.
I mainly led call-and-response chants, stirring up the other teams.
It may have been exciting, but if that’s all it took to get technical points, the other teams wouldn’t be satisfied.
However, due to the cheer battle, the scores were evenly balanced. There is no difference in scores to the point where it would be possible for any of the four teams to win.
“Also, since some students were caught engaging in sabotage, it appears that Ryuoin-san and Toranomon-san are acting as representatives of the student council.”
Maybe that’s why they weren’t participating in the afternoon competition…
“Kanja-sensei, isn’t that unrelated to me?”
“Is that so? Don’t you know the reason why those two acted?”
For my sake?
Hmm, but throughout my memories as Taketo, I’ve never uttered kind words to them.
I kept saying harsh and insulting words to them.
I don’t think I’m someone they would harbor positive feelings towards.
“Who knows, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Yes, but please remember this. Those who surrender to their desires will always face retribution. However, it is not in vain that we risked our lives.”
Sensei seems to be trying to convey something in her own way.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Fufu, you always play dumb. Oh well, I might have misunderstood you a bit as well.”
Kanja-sensei seems satisfied and tries to leave.
“Is Tatemiya one of those students?”
“…No.”
“Is that so?”
“Oh my? That’s surprising. I can’t believe you’re smiling.”
“No, it’s just a feeling.”
It truly is just a feeling.
<Now, let’s move on to the final competition. A relay race competition will be held for each team. Please gather the selected players on the field>
Whether in tears or laughter, it’s time for the final competition.
I will be the anchor and the final runner of the relay race for the yellow team. Next to me, I noticed Tatemiya.
“It’s finally here. I’ll win and settle this. You remember our bet, right?”
“Yeah. If the Red team wins against the Yellow team, Tatemiya Yuushi will go out with Toranomon Akemi. But if I win, you stay away from Toranomon Akemi forever.”
“That’s right!”
“If that’s all there is to it, I won’t gain anything.”
“What!?”
“We’re just competing as anchors.”
Until the relay begins, it is unclear who will receive the baton first.
The anchors of the blue and white teams might run first.
Because Toranomon Akemi and Ryuoin Yukine are running just before the anchor.
They could run first and we might lose.
“Yes, but!”
“So let’s make it a personal contest. If you win this race, I’ll listen to one thing you say. But if you lose, you have to listen to one thing I say.”
“I see!”
“Many boys from the yellow team fell ill. Is that your doing?”
“Huh?! I would never do such a thing! I’m high-spec enough to win without resorting to that kind of thing!”
Yeah. He’s as foolish as I expected.
It’s a mystery how I lost to such an idiot when I was in middle school.
Probably, Taketo just wasn’t interested in him. There were no feelings towards Tatemiya to the extent that it’s not even in my memory.
“However, I have received information that you are on the sports festival committee and are doing something?”
“Guh! Okay, I get it. If I lose, I’ll confess. But I definitely haven’t done anything that would harm anyone.”
“Good. It’s about to start.”
<Now, we will begin the final competition of Tojo Academy Sports Festival, the relay race!>
Bang!
At the command, the first runners began running.
The race continued to be dominated by the red team, but just before the anchor runners, the blue and white teams swiftly closed the gap and overtook.
Then, Nazuna from my team passed the baton to me right after the red team.
The Yellow team is currently in last place.
I can see Tatemiya from the red team in front of me.
As well as the runners from the blue and white team.
And the baton feels a little heavy, but it doesn’t matter.
“Taketo-sama! It’s all up to you!”
Encouraged by Nazuna’s voice and the cheers from the entire field concentrated on the track, I started sprinting.
Tatemiya passed by the white team’s third-year runner and also overtook the blue team.
However, on the last straight line, I caught up with Tatemiya.
“I won’t lose!!! Akemi is my wife!!!”
Tatemiya suddenly screamed and accelerated.
It’s amusing.
There’s nothing as entertaining as competing with someone with all your might.
This is how a fight should be.
It’s interesting because both sides compete, pushing each other to improve.
“Even so…”
I shifted to another gear and lined up back with Tatemiya.
There’s no advantage in position anymore. We’re running side by side.
All that’s left is who crosses the finish line first.
<And the winner is…!!!>
The live commentary echoed throughout the field…
I thrusted my fist into the air.
