Part 3

Kaedes POV

Wawa Yuuya-kun cheered me up!

As Kaede moved to the starting point, she thought back to Yuuyas words earlier and blushed.

Although she felt that they had become a little closer again after spending the summer vacation playing together, Kaede wanted to get even closer to him.

Hah I wish I were a little taller

That is why Kaede was honestly envious when it was decided that Rin would participate in the three-legged race with Yuuya.

She was confident in her running speed, but there was nothing she could do about that.

No, no, no! Since Yuuya-kun cheered me on, I have to do my best in the scavenger hunt!

As she braced herself once again, Shirases announcement rang out.

The next scavenger hunt will be decided by two things: how easy a subject you can draw and how quickly you can find the item you need to borrow! Are you all ready? Now then

Following Shirases announcement, the event finally gets underway.

Then, all the students started running at once, but Kaede, who was confident in her speed, was the first to reach the platform where the subjects were lined up.

Lets see, if I draw one from here, its!

Kaede takes a sheet of paper without hesitation and opens it on the spot.

And.

Eh?

Kaede froze at the subject written there.

The other students also picked up the subject one after another and started to check it on the spot.

Haaaaaahhh? W-what is the legendary sword?

V-vice principals wig, you say?

Is there such a thing as the Greatest Treasure of Human Connections?

Damn it! A girlfriend, you say You were taking advantage of me being singleeeeeee!

It is truly an agonizing scream.

None of the subjects were straightforward, and they all had everyone scratching their heads.

Oops! All players have not moved from their assigned locations! Ohki-sensei, what do you expect to happen from here?

Yes, well the organizers have tried to make some of them achievable while mixing in some crazy ones but unfortunately, it seems that all of them didnt get the right one

Hmph!

At Shirase-sans signal, Yuti was the first to move and kicked up the countless balls rolling on the ground in one go. Then, in an instant, she retrieved the balls floating in the air and tossed them one after another into the basket.

[Meteor ShowerAthletic Festival Version].

Whoa! After Yuuya just now, Yuti is the next most talked competitor from the middle school division! With her incredible physical ability and throwing technique, she manages to put one ball after another into the basket!

Oh Tenjou is tremendous in PE, but shes amazing too. Im looking forward to seeing her come to the high school. [T/n: PE = Physical Education.]

As expected, the game was Yutis sole domain, with Yuti accurately placing balls into the basket from one end to the other. Incidentally, the number of balls prepared for this ball game was much larger than that of a regular school, and on top of that, the baskets were large and multiple.

Therefore, a very intense game of ball throwing was being played

Eii!

Guhahhh!

Ta-Tanaka! Bwaaah!

Sa-Saitoooooo Gahahh?

Oh, participant Kaori! All the balls are flying in the wrong direction and Its dangerous!

Kaori, a member of the same white group as Yuti, had sent every ball she threw flying in an unbelievable direction. Moreover, whether on purpose or by accident, the balls struck the students of the red group, and one after another, the red groups camp fell.

W-what is this? Kaoris violent throw caused the number of participants in the red group to decrease!

W-wild pitch! [T/n: In baseball, a wild pitch (WP) is charged against a pitcher when his pitch is too high, too short, or too wide of home plate for the catcher to control with ordinary effort, thereby allowing a baserunner, or the batter (on an uncaught third strike), to advance.]

Kaori is shocked by Shirases announcement, but T-this might be called a violent throw

The red group, who managed to survive in front of their fallen comrades, had to avoid the still continuing throws from Kaori as the ball was being thrown in the air.

Ueeeeeee! I-its impossible to throw while avoiding this!

Dont worry! I, the [Ball-Throwing Nobleman], am going to Buhh?

Akiraaaaaa!

I-Im sorry! B-but if I dont throw, the game is!

Kaori apologizes for her poor control but continues to throw it seriously because it was a game.

As a result, the game had turned into yet another competition in which they had to keep avoiding balls of a speed that even I, who was improving my level, would lose sight of.

After the wildly exciting ball game was over, the results were announced.

L-lets see just now, thanks to the efforts of Yuti and Kaori, the red group has a total of fifty balls, and the white group has three hundred balls, so the white group is the winner

Victory.

Ahaha

Yuti mouthed the words in her usual tone, then turned her gaze to me and sent me a V-sign.
