“SPOTLIGHT EV: Ouka High - CHAPTER 4"

Omi: I heard that it’s the athletic meet day for O-High, so I prepared some special bento to give everyone a little pep.
Taichi: Yaaaay!! Thank you, Omi-kun!
Tenma: Thanks for this.
Juza: Thanks.
Izumi: I had hoped to make you guys some curry for your bento instead though…
Taichi: Uhm, weeeell! When it comes to Director-sensei’s curry, that stuff’s best enjoyed here at the dorm, y’know!
Tenma: Curry bento on athletic day is a bit…
Juza: Thank you for the thought, though…
Taichi: We’re lucky it was Omi-kun who cooked for us instead…
Tenma: Hey, it’s about time for us to get going.
Taichi: Looks like Ten-chan so excited for the athletic meet that he can’t stay still at all. Maybe we should get going.
Tenma: I-It’s not like I’m—!!
Juza: Don’t worry, Tenma. I’m excited too.
Tenma: … R-Right. Yeah.
Omi: Good luck, everyone.
Izumi: We’re rooting for you!
Taichi: Hehe, thanks everyone! We’re gonna give it our all!
Juza: Thanks.
Tenma: I’ll be telling you all about my great feats later when we get back.
Taichi: Alright, we’re heading out!
Tenma: Later.

Juza: …?
Izumi: Juza-kun, is something wrong?
Juza: No, it’s nothing… See ya later.

Announcer: The next event, the scavenger hunt race, is about to begin. The participating students are…
Tenma: …
Taichi: Ah! Ten-chan, you’re here!
Does this mean you’re also joining the scavenger hunt race?
Tenma: Yeah, I guess you are too?
Taichi: Uh-huh! Guess we’ve been so focused on training for the relay that we forgot to talk about what other games we were joining in.
Tenma: Seems like it… It doesn’t seem like Juza-san’s in this one, though.
Taichi: Maybe he’s in the other contests instead?
Athletic Meet Committee Member: Ready, get set…. Go!
Tenma: Kh…!
Taichi: Ha…!
Tenma: (My assignment is…)
Taichi: (The thing I gotta grab is…)

Tenma & Taichi: !!
Announcer: Everyone is going all-out searching for their assigned items!
Tenma: Where can I find…
Taichi: Mhm, not here either…!

Juza: ….
Tenma & Taichi: There!!
Juza: !!
Tenma: Huh, Taichi’s here too…?
Taichi: Could say the same to you!?
Juza: What’s the matter…?
Tenma: We’re in the middle of the scavenger hunt race. But less talk now, we gotta go!
Taichi: Pretty please!
Juza: Oh. Sure thing.
[DASHING FOOTSTEPS]
Tenma: …Hm?
Hang on, Juza-san. Did you maybe hurt your foot or something?
Taichi: Wait, really!?
Juza: … It only got twisted a lil’ bit. It’s fine.
Tenma: I knew it. This is no good, you need to see treatment.
Taichi: That’s right! And it’s almost time for the relay race too!
Juza: But aren’cha both in the middle of the scavenger hunt? You don’t need to mind me.
Taichi: You come first, Juza-san!
Tenma: The scavenger hunt contest is an individual competition anyway. It’ll be fine if we explain it to everyone after.
Juza: … Sorry ‘bout this. And thanks.
O High Student A: Nanao? Is something up?
O High Student B: Aren’t you in the middle of a contest right now?
Taichi: Oh hey, great timing! Could you let them know that me and Ten-chan are withdrawing from the contest; We had a bit of an accident here.
O High Student A: Eh, O-Okay, got it!
O High Student B: Sure, we’ll tell them for you!
Tenma: Please and thank you.
… So do you still plan to run in the relay, Juza-san?
Juza: I will. I raised my hand for it, I’m doin’ my anchor position till the end.
Tenma: I see. I don’t want you overdoing it, but since this is your last athletic meet in high school, I do want to give you a helping hand.
Taichi: I feel the same!
It’d probably be better if you don’t move too much right now… I’m gonna go call for the infirmary nurse, so wait right there, ‘kay?
Tenma: … Taichi, if the nurse isn’t there, go borrow some bandages from their stock.
Taichi: You got it!
