The P.E. class sessions in Yamaboshi High were made up of students from two classes.
Kiriyama Yui's (and Aoki Yoshifumi's) class, class 1A, and Inaba Himeko, Nagase Iori, Yaegashi Taichi's class, class 1C, were in the same session. In other words, all five members of the CRC would be present in the same class. For Yui, this was something to anticipate for. She had always enjoyed sports, combined with that other fact, P.E. became Yui's favourite class.
The first year girl students were having a football game.
The whistle sounded, and the second half of the match began.
This was a game between Team A class 1A and Team B class 1C.
"Yui, catch!"
A teammate passed the ball to Yui.
Yui caught the ball with her right foot, and dribbled the ball forward in a series of agile steps. She charged into the opposing team's territory, the ball stayed close by her foot.
Players from the other team approached her from the front, attempting to flank her.
But they were not members from the football club, their defence were nothing in face of Yui. She breezed through the opponent's field, swiftly dodging any incoming opposing players, and shot!
"Eek!" The goalkeeper squeezed out a weak whimper and ducked aside. The ball entered the keeper-less goal, the impact even shook up the entire gate.
"Yay!"
Yui made a victory gesture with her hands.
"Nice shot, Yui... But, could you not unleash your prowess of passing through five players in a row during P.E. class?"
Yui's good friend Yukina said to her with a complicated look on her face.
Fweet—— Fujishima Maiko, the referee of the game, blew the whistle.
"Goal point! Team A class 1A scores a point, and a special yellow card penalty for Kiriyama-san!"
"Eh? Why? What's a special yellow card penalty?"
"No reason. Until I permit it, Kiriyama-san you are forbidden to enter the opponent team's territory. Please limit your range of activity within your team's half of the field."
"What kind of special rule is that? That's ridiculous! Don't everyone agree?"
Despite Yui's protest, everyone including her teammates showed no hint of objection.
"Yui, if you go all out, the game would be completely one-sided..."
Yui was baffled that Yukina, of all people, told her that.
I've been holding back the first half, so I just wanted to get in the game a little during the second half, that's all there is... Pfft!
However, Yui restrained herself from advancing anyway, and remained a back line support, passing the ball to her teammates. After all, it was only a class, she should cooperate with everyone else.
It was an easy task for Yui, and for that reason, she was free enough to peer at the neighbouring field.
As her eyes followed that certain someone, she quickly realised one thing:
——No one was passing the ball to Iori.
There was nobody guarding her and her teammates seemed to be aware of it too. Yet, no one passed the ball to her. Iori would normally be the most central and enthusiastic figure during the P.E. classes, but now...
It was as though she was being ignored.
Iori's expression was very gloomy. She had been that way lately.
"Yui! Look out!"
Yui responded to her teammate's warning, and saw an opposing player attempting to dribble pass around her. Yui took one, two step, closing on the other player, swiftly stole the ball from her and passed it to her teammate.
"S-Such precise movements in such a short time frame..."
Yukina was murmuring something, but did not seem to be talking to her, so Yui did not give much thought to it.
Yui looked towards the neighbouring field again.
Iori was still unable to join the offence line, but merely wandering at the back of the field.
At that moment...
"Ah!"
Iori was knocked over by one of her own teammate.
The girl responsible (Yui couldn't remember her name, it was Setouchi or something) did not apologize to Iori either; she simply ran straight for the middle field.
Koko 4 00135.jpg
"Was-Was that on purpose...?"
That looked nothing like an accident.
Before the end of the game, Team A class 1A was one point behind. After Yui was permitted to join the offence line, she scored two points and won the game back for her team. The game ended. After cleaning up the field, the class did stretching exercise, and concluded the P.E. class.
Yui wanted to talk to Iori, but since they were on different fields she could not find the right opportunity to do so.
During Yui's observation, Iori only talked to Inaba briefly and did not talk to anyone else. Yui thought Iori would usually be more cheerful and social.
Wait a minute, I thought Taichi's close by? He could at least show up and say hi right? Iori is all by herself, is it really okay?
Though Yui understood that it might be difficult for Taichi, who was rejected, to do so.
"You've been watching Nagase-san the whole time."
Yukina said to Yui, and continued hesitantly:
"Um, I've been hearing that..."
"What?"
"There's been some bad rumours about Nagase-san, something about she was pretending to be sweet, or seducing guys with her looks, and coldly rejecting others and such..."
"Yukina, you aren't going to believe those rumours are you?"
"OK, OK, I get it, stop giving me that scary look! ...From what I heard from you, she's supposed to be a very nice person. But, those who doesn't know her well would easily believe those rum— ...I said stop giving me that look already!"
Who was it? Who was spreading those rumours about Iori?
On the way towards the locker room, Yui finally found a chance to talk to Iori.
"Hey, Iori."
"...What?"
"Uh..."
Ah, Yui did not know what to say.
[ Oh, that girl's got some nice bust. ]
That pig head pervert Aoki who and where the hell is he looking at and besides you are not supposed to judge a girl's cuteness base on breast size actually what the hell I'm busy stop interfering!
"Erm... About our class just now... Mmph!"
Yui clasped her hands on her mouth. She brought up the topic in a flurry. However, for Iori right now, bring it up may not be a good idea.
Should I leave it... No, I mustn't avoid her now—— Yui thought and decided to pursue.
"About our class just now, you don't seem alright."
Although Iori had already been like that lately to begin with.
"...No such thing."
"But no one's been passing the ball to you..."
It wasn't just Iori. The people around her didn't seem alright either.
"...It was just a coincident."
"Really? Did something strange hap—"
[ Stop it, stop talking to me. ]
It was Iori's 'Sentiment Transmission.'
Confusing, chaotic feelings flowed into Yui's mind.
Her legs were frozen.
Iori walked forward and left, but Yui was unable to bring herself to walk by Iori's side.
From those sentiments she received, Yui could tell that something was troubling Iori, yet Yui did not understand what it was.
She had directly received the Iori's feelings, yet Yui was unable to understand her.
She had shared the pain, yet Yui was unable to reach out to her.
This is just too sad... thought Yui, her hand clutching on her chest.
Even in face of finals preparation (in addition to Yui's busy training at the dojo), the CRC members continued to work on their club presentation, namely the map that introduces recommended points of interest around the school.
"A cafe that serves as great dating spot yet not widely known, a Chinese restaurant that serves cheap and huge meals, a shop that sells cute accessories, a salon that's small in scale but provides excellent services... And many more others. Wow, we've actually been visiting all these places. That's amazing!"
Yui was impressed by everybody's work.
"...Though I also see one that is obviously a personal point of interest... such as the gym that often organizes pro-wrestling matches."
Yui muttered quietly, but Taichi immediately reacted to her statement.
"What!? You didn't know that particular gym had once organized one of the most important event in pro-wrestling hist——"
Before Taichi could finish, Inaba talked over him and said:
"These info booklets are coming out quite nicely. If we did some formal editing, we could sell them for money."
"Jeez, Inaba, you don't have to keep on pulling things in that direction you know."
Yui ignored Taichi. Ah, he looked bummed out. Poor Taichi.
"To be honest though, we really shouldn't have made our report data into booklets and then use these booklets as the basis of our oral report. We've been spending way too much time on making these booklets."
Inaba complained.
According to their plan, when the CRC exhibits the map during the presentation event, they would need booklets with detailed and organized information, as well as paper vellum to add to the impact of their oral report on stage.
Now, they had finally reached the stage to work on their paper vellum. Although they only needed to handcraft a simplistic, easy-to-understand map that summarizes the info and location of the points of interest with a design that would leave a good impression, the amount of data they had collected was overwhelming.
In the wide, spacious media classroom, in order to let the back row audience see clearly, the displaying text on the map must be enlarged. Hence, they prepared an exceptional amount of paper vellum (roughly 1 square meter each). And since the judges, who wanted to observe the reaction of the other students, would be sitting in the back, the CRC could not adjust the text size.
Truth to be told, they were somewhat tight on time.
"Is this title text good enough, Inaba-chan?"
Aoki inquired Inaba in club room. The room was noisier and messier than usual.
"Yeah, that will do... Psh, now that you mention it, we're probably stressing too much on the design, it's so much hassle! I really shouldn't have used professional-looking manuals like «Your Complete Guide to Advertisement Design» for references!"
Not only that. Inaba had even picked up books about typography and colour theories. Once got started she would want the best results——very true to Inaba's style indeed. The whole process was tough. Should they finish the proje
