“SPOTLIGHT EV: Ouka High - CHAPTER 2"


Athletic Meet Committee Member: Next up, we’ll be deciding the participating students and the running order for the class-to-class relay face-off.
Please speak up if you’d like to be a candidate, or if you have any person you’d like to recommend for the line-up.
Taichi: Me, me! I’d like to join the relay!
As for the running order, I’d like to be the anchor, if that’s possible!
Athletic Meet Committee Member: Ohh, Nanao-kun as the anchor, huh?
Taichi: My record time for short-distance is pretty fast… So I’d like to give it a shot.
(My first and foremost goal is to become popular after all… I’ve not lost sight of my goal, so this is just one more step to that very mission…!!)
Classmate A: That’s true. Nanao is rather speedy, so why not?
Classmate B: Right? I’ll put my vote in.
Athletic Meet Committee Member: Looks like everyone’s in accord. It’s settled; Nanao-kun will be in the anchor position.
Taichi: Thank youuu! I’ll make sure to give my one-hundred-percent into it!

[SCHOOL CHIME]
Classmate A: See ya, Nanao!
Taichi: See ya!
Alright, it’s about time to head home… Huh?
Tenma: …..
Taichi: Ten-chan! Heading home?
Tenma: O-Oh. Yeah, I am…
Taichi: …?? What’re you scoping around the area for?
Tenma: Uhh, it’s nothing——
Taichi: …Oh right! Igawa-san said he couldn’t pick you up today, didn’t he?
Tenma: !!
Taichi: You should’ve said so sooner~ Let’s go home together then! I’ll be your buddy for today.
Tenma: … Alright.
O-High Student A: …Eek! T-That scared me…!
O-High Student B: Woah, why’s he…?!
Taichi: Hm?
Tenma: What’s going on? The crowd there suddenly went quiet.
O-High Student C: No way, why is that person here… This is the second year’s floor, isn’t it…
Juza: ….
Taichi: Ah!
Juza-saaaan! What’s the matter?
Juza: Oh… I wasn’t sure what day it was when Tenma wasn’t gonna get picked up after school. So I came here to ask.


Tenma: !!
Taichi: So you were thinking ‘bout it too, huh! Turns out, that very day is today, so what’re we waiting for? Let’s head home together!
Juza: That so. Alright, let’s go then.
Taichi: Let’s, let’s! Hehe, it feels a lot more reassuring now that Juza-san’s here too.
Tenma: You guys… Thanks.
Taichi: Ohh what’s this? Don’t like a stranger to us now~
Juza: You’ve gotta make the most of what you got.

Taichi: Hey hey, since the three of us are walking together anyway, we should grab n’ go get some munchies while we’re at it.
Tenma: Grab and… Go?
Taichi: You know, buying some food, eating there, then eating some more while we walk back home.
Tenma: I see…
Taichi: I recently found out about this food truck parked near the shopping district and I’ve been craving for their hotdogs there!
I think they’ve also got taiyaki too, Juza-san.
Juza: —!! I wanna try some.
Tenma: …Guess I’ll have to come along then.
Taichi: Okay! Now that it’s decided, let’s go, go, go—!!
