With this, I now declare the commencement of the sports festival. All visitors

The big event after the summer break, the sports festival, was finally underway. Many tents were set up around the grounds, and they were all filled to the brim by the students parents. Since the number of students in the school was quite large, the number of parents was also equally large.

Additionally, there were also people from other schools, the neighborhood, and others whod come to visit the school for a tour, making it very lively.

So hot.

Its boiling out here

Its hell on earth.

In the midst of this bustling and joyful atmosphere, Ryuichi and his usual friends were already feeling defeated by the heat. The competition hadnt even started yet, and they hadnt moved their bodies at all, so it was worrying to imagine what the future held for them.

Here, have a sports drink.

Thanks, Shizuna.

He took the drink from Shizuna, who was standing beside him, and chugged it down with big gulps. Shizuna laughed at his overly vigorous gulping, but perhaps she liked the sight of him doing that too as she stared at him.

But manthey actually ended up coming, huh.

Yup.

Ryuichi took his mouth off the bottle and looked in a certain direction. There, of course, was Shizunas mother, Sakie, but she was also accompanied by Chisa and Satsuki.

I didnt know theyd come too

I didnt know about Chisa-san and Satsuki-san either. They really stand out, dont they?

Of course they do.

It went without saying for Chisa and Satsuki, but Sakie also had a very youthful and vibrant appearance that it was hard to believe that she had a child. She was probably too beautiful a woman in the eyes of the other students fathers who were present here.

Although the same couldnt be said for Sakie and Satsuki, Chisa was wearing a very revealing outfit, so she was gathering many gazes on her.

Ah.

Oh my.

The three of them noticed Ryuichi and Shizuna and waved at them. Makoto and Kaname grinned widely, but the rest of the students snuck glances at them, seemingly wondering what kind of relationship they had with each other, which made Ryuichi uncomfortable.

Well, I guess all we can do is simply think of them like a peanut gallery.

Agreed.

It wasnt like the girls had been trying to deliberately create a fuss, either; they had purely come to see Ryuichi and Shizuna, so they couldnt just act indifferent toward them.

Its nice that Satsuki-san came like this, but it seems shes only got eyes for you, Ryuichi-kun.

Shizuna muttered this with a chuckle. It was only a guess, but hisAkiras

Akiras

A woman who was watching the whole thing unfold blushed when Ryuichi, in a manner that brokered no argument, told Chisa, Come, and a man who was standing next to her, who appeared to be her husband, looked surprised, but Ryuichi did not pay them any heed.

I-Its been really long since Ive run, though!

Were almost there, hang in there.

It was true that Chisa wasnt the type to exercise like this, but despite that, she had an exquisite figure that was the envy of all women in the world, which was a huge deal.

Running made Chisas large, cleavage-revealing breasts sway, which was probably a bit too stimulating for the eyes of high school boys.

Goal! The second-year student Shishido-kun has scored an impressive goal with a beautiful woman in tow!

The student council president, who simultaneously acted as a play-by-play commentator and analyst, was very hyped up as well.

When Ryuichi handed the person in charge the piece of paper with the theme written on it, they tilted their head at him, but they did not ask him about it because it was, in a sense, a private matter. However, Chisa seemed to be curious about what the theme was.

Hey, can I have a look?

Sure, here you go.

When Chisa saw the paper handed to her by the PIC, she froze for a moment and immediately jumped to her feet, looking like she was about to cry.

Ryuichiii!! You thought of me that way? Uwaaaaaaaaah!!

H-Hey

Apparently, hed landed a direct attack on Chisas heart. With Chisa in his arms, Ryuichi carried her back to where she had been and left Chisa in the care of Sakie and Satsuki.

What was the theme?

A person who emotionally supported me.

Ah, thats definitely one for Chisa-san. Although it does vex me a little.

Shizuna giggled, and then it came time for her turn. With the sound of the pistol, Shizuna started running. She read the paper with the theme written on it, then came running straight for Ryuichi.

I feel like I can sorta guess what you got.

Fufu, come on, hurry up!

Holding hands with Shizuna, he started running again after having just run earlier. The theme she got was then read out as per her request, and the committee members mouth revealed the contents of the theme.

The theme is A person you love.

I knew it.In a way, it was just as Ryuichi had imagined. Fundamentally speaking, when a theme like this came up, if one had a lover, they would likely go to them; otherwise, some people would bring their family members with them.

As soon as the theme was read out, there was an annoying whistling noise from Makoto and Kaname, but Ryuichi just glared at them sharply.

Dont glare at us like that.

Ryuichi was certainly not in a bad mood, but Shizuna had an even brighter smile on her face.

Thus, the sports festival had started off on a bit of a turbulent tone, and with Ryuichis participation, there was sure to be more chaos But, well, since Ryuichi was well received by all but a few people, this sports festival would surely be a fun one.
