“SPOTLIGHT EV: Ouka High - CHAPTER 5"


Taichi: Sorry for the wait!
The nurse wasn’t there so… For now, here’s the bandages you requested, Ten-chan.
Tenma: Thanks. Juza-san, give me your foot.
Juza: Here.
Tenma: I can only do as much as first aid, so you make sure to have it checked in the infirmary after the relay’s done.
Now like this… And there. Does it still hurt?
Juza: No… Much better now.
Taichi: You’re amazing, Ten-chan!
Tenma: I learned it from Muku, actually.
Juza: From Muku…?
Tenma: When he was watching our forms, he recommended the manga “Your Goal Line” to me as a reference to learn more about track and field.
There was a scene there where someone bandaged over the injury of another.
I thought it’d prove useful someday, so I had Muku teach me how to do it.
I figured it’d be something I could use for my acting scenes in dramas or on stage. Didn’t think I’d actually do it for the real thing…
Taichi: That’s impressive, Ten-chan!
Juza: And ya helped me out thanks to that.
Tenma: That’s good. Now don’t strain yourself in the next one.
If Muku were to hear about this, he’s gonna be downhearted, you know that right? So do this for him too.
Taichi: You heard him, Juza-san!
Juza: Yeah. I’m reflecting on my actions.
Taichi: As long as you got it, all’s good!
Announcer: The event, the class face-off relay race, is about to begin. The participating members are….
Taichi: Ah!
Tenma: That’s our cue.
Juza: Right.

Taichi: Hehe, thanks!!
Tenma: Say, how’s your foot doing, Juza-san?

Since you still got that injury, let’s head straight back home. We can save our celebrations for next time!
Tenma: Sure thing.

Taichi: Yeah!!
Juza: … I’ll look forward to it.
