[Sherwin Riga]

The first search of the Dragons of Ōta continues as the Bravehearts will finally meet the New Camellian Dragons. It’s also going to be a big part that not only the Bravehearts will meet the New Camellian Dragons, but also their allies will be meeting them in the following days. So, this chapter will be focused on the sleepover activity with the Bravehearts and the New Camellian Dragons. Also, you will finally know the secrets of the New Camellian Dragons and the story of how Team Aurora was formed. So, get ready to enjoy their night as here comes Chapter 86 with the title, The Aurora Sleepover. Enjoy reading Chapter 86!:)

While Nashiba celebrated their win against the blue-and-violet Setagaya Izumi, the Bravehearts are very busy with their sleepover with the New Camellian Dragons. The New Camellian Dragons are composed of 23 members from 2 schools (Kasuragi and Shiromidai) and they are the strongest group in the younger batch of the Dragons of Ōta. They are considered to be promising prospects, according to different head coaches from middle school teams because they should have been the next generation of the Dragons of Ōta if the incident between Shin Mizusaki and Tsubasa Sugimoto (daughter of Toshiaki Sugimoto) didn’t happen. The Bravehearts invited the New Camellian Dragons at the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel for their sleepover. Some members of the New Camellian Dragons have remembered the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel while others aren’t. Of course, the New Camellian Dragons are ready to enjoy their night with the Bravehearts as this will be the first step in making a mutual partnership between the two groups. That partnership is planned as soon as they’ll be ready to join the search in finding more members of the Dragons of Ōta in the future.

VOLUME 6: “PRESTIGIOUS AND DETERMINATION”
CHAPTER 86: “THE AURORA SLEEPOVER”​

“While Subaru Hasegawa and his teammates are playing at the Nashiba High School Gymnasium, the Bravehearts are calling the members of the New Camellian Dragons to come at the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel for a sleepover. It seems that we already know five members of that group: Toshihiro Kanzaki, Chinami Itagaki, Ayaka Kutaragi, Momoe Nagashima and Erina Miyagi. I found out that there’s also a chapter of the New Camellian Dragons in Shiromidai Elementary School, led by Teruko Sugiyama. I believe that Teruko is a new classmate of my master, Tomoka Minato.” Mimi narrates the introduction while the Bravehearts are walking on their way to downtown Kamata.

“However, unlike many factions of the Dragons of Ōta, the New Camellian Dragons doesn’t have a member of the Dragons of Ōta that came from the high school level. As a result, the New Camellian Dragons is a faction that was created by a young member of the Dragons of Ōta. Hanako Itō is the leader of the New Camellian Dragons and is one of the former members of the Kasuragi Elementary School girls’ basketball team. She played as a small forward and had an expert in shooting finger roll and pullup jump shot. Hanako has three siblings named Kanako (second year high school student), Atsuhiro (second year middle school student) and Kojō (fifth grade elementary school student). Hanako made a great performance during the semifinal match against Matsuyama before I defeated her in one of the matchups I faced during the Ōta District Tournament.” Asumi narrates about the New Camellian Dragons and its leader Hanako Itō. Asumi is a former member of the Dragons of Ōta.

“Mimi and the Bravehearts have already contacted the members of the New Camellian Dragons earlier after the classes are over. While they did, on the other hand, I talked to Manaka Higuchi, who is the leader of the South Wind. She said that she recognized the New Camellian Dragons because she befriended Yasushi Shionji and Hinata Kiyama. Of course, Manaka said that those two have been associated with the use of stamina and hook shot. I hope that when those two will be coming to the mansion later tonight, you will know their secret. So, that’s why we combine the mission of our group and the Family of Angels and here’s what happened earlier at the Keishin Academy.” Hanako Kotobuki finishes the introduction as she is the leader of Team Aurora.

After the classes are over, the Bravehearts would meet Toshihiro Kanzaki, Chinami Itagaki, Ayaka Kutaragi, Momoe Nagashima and Teruko Sugiyama in the room of section 1-C at the middle school building of the Keishin Academy.

Team Bravehearts: Tomoka Minato, Saki Nagatsuka, Airi Kashii, Hinata Hakamada, Maho Misawa, Mimi Balguerie, Kagetsu Hakamada, Masami Fujii, Tsubaki Takenaka, Hiiragi Takenaka and Natsuhi Takenaka

“You mean, you want to invite us to your sleepover later tonight?” asked Teruko Sugiyama.

“Yeah! Our home has many rooms to stay there and I’ll tell you, Teruko, you’ll make yourself comfortable when you’re visiting this place for the first time!” said Tomoka.

“Okay!” said Teruko.

“Now, everyone, I will ask all of you a question. When is the last time you visited the Misawa Resort Hotel?” said Tomoka.

“Ah, I remember that place before, Tomoka. That’s when my family and I have spent our summer vacation here along with my relatives from my father’s side” said Teruko.

“For me, I went to the mansion last year with my friends when we’re doing a project” said Toshihiro.

“Ah, that’s where we’re looking at the botanical plants at the garden. Okay, I finally remember that, Toshihiro” said Chinami.

“The last time I went there is when our basketball team watched the Hasegawa Cup. The finals between Keishin and Suzuridani was an epic match!” said Erina.

“Yeah, Erina. It’s an honor that you cheer for us when we won the match against Suzuridani. Do you have fun enjoying the afterparty?” said Mimi.

“Of course, Mimi!” said Erina.

“Well, I’m proud of you, Erina! I hope that once the tournament proposed by Megumi and Asumi will be approved by tomorrow, I will invite your team to compete for that event” said Mimi.

“Okay, Mimi! I’m so excited to hear that because we’re finally ready to prepare our season!” said Erina.

“Yeah, Erina! I’m sure that you’ll be able to prepare yourself to compete for the tournament” said Mimi.

“You bet, Mimi!” said Erina.

“Ayaka, do you remember that place?” asked Momoe.

“Well, that’s where you, Tsubasa and I were doing the training for the District Tournament last winter” said Ayaka.

“Oh, yeah. I think you’re right” said Momoe before talking to Tomoka. “We already know that place and we’re expected to visit that place again to go for a sleepover.”

“So, could we invite us?” asked Teruko.

“Well, that’s fine by me. Okay, you’re all invited to come to our mansion later tonight” said Tomoka.

“Yay!” said Toshihiro, Chinami, Ayaka, Momoe and Teruko.

“Thank you so much for accepting invitation! I hope that our group will be able to come to that place later tonight!” said Teruko.

“Well, you can come to our place by six in the evening. I hope that you’ll be here as soon as possible. I’ll make sure that you’ll treat yourself with our friends from Team Aurora and the Family of Angels” said Mimi.

“Team Aurora will be coming to the mansion for the weekend, so that they’ll be arranging the plans for the events of the Family of Angels soon” said Kagetsu.

“Jun and her group are busy organizing the activities alongside the Family of Angels and Team Eromanga. Tomorrow, Masayoshi will be here along with one representative from the Ogi Clan to discuss the future of Jun’s Angels. I don’t know what will happen to them if Masayoshi will decide if he will give Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura their freedom to stay at the mansion or not” said Hinata.

“I hope that Jun and her group are going to respect the decision of Masayoshi. I fear that they might not going to stay with us for a long time because they live separately in Den-en-chōfu” said Saki.

“Yeah, on the other hand, I’m planning to expand the number of permanent residents of the mansion if we’re open to the members who have associated with the Family of Angels like Team Eromanga” said Tsubaki.

“Team Eromanga are currently staying in Shimomaruko, but they can only visit the mansion every weekend. But of course, they have currently doing their new project that focused on basketball” said Hiiragi.

“Whose leader of that group?” asked Toshihiro.

“There are two leaders of Team Eromanga and they are Masamune Izumi and Sagiri Izumi” said Airi.

“Hey, I know Masamune! He writes ‘The Reincarnation of Silverwolf’. That work is so beautiful and Masamune is my favorite author in my life!” said Teruko.

“Oh, I believe that you’re a fan of Izumi’s published works. Aren’t you?” said Hinata.

“Yeah!” said Teruko.

“What a great coincidence, Teruko! Right now, Masamune and Sagiri are collaborating their new published project where the story is a spin-off to the ‘The Reincarnation of Silver’ series” said Maho.

“Well, I hope that we can see that work, so that we can read the first volume soon” said Teruko.

“It’ll be released soon, however, the first preview will be released by either the end of April or the first week of May. Hopefully, Masamune and Sagiri are going to finish at least 3 or 4 chapters by the time it reaches the end of the month” said Saki.

“So, you think they’re doing together?” asked Chinami.

“Yeah, Chinami. They are collaborating with the members of Team Eromanga and Team Groundwinger. When I look at their work a few days ago, it was so magnificent to see the first chapter of their new work” said Masami.

“Ah, I hope that they’ll be ready to publish that work by the time we’re planning to visit this place soon” said Toshihiro.

“Yes, they will, Toshihiro” said Natsuhi.

“So, are you going home for now, Tomoka?” asked Teruko.

“Yeah! We’re going to home, Teruko. I’ll see you later!” said Tomoka.

“See ya, everyone!” said Mimi.

“Okay, we’ll see you later!” said Toshihiro, Chinami, Ayaka, Momoe and Erina as the Bravehearts are leaving the room of section 1-C.

Later, at the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel, the Bravehearts are staying at the living room while they are waiting for Team Hasegawa, Team Aurora and the New Camellian Dragons. The Family of Angels are already staying at the mansion earlier after the Bravehearts entered the mansion first.

“I wonder what they will do for the sleepover tonight, Mimi” said Kagetsu.

“I have an activity that they have to remember. It seems that these New Camellian Dragons are very quick to express because they have special talents that were never been seen before” said Mimi.

“That’s true, Mimi. Before the New Camellian Dragons and the Bravehearts were born, the original Camellian Dragons is established as one of the most dominant groups in Ōta. The group was led by Aoi Kotobuki, the eldest sister of Hanako Kotobuki and currently a second year high school student. Aoi is now studying in Keishin Academy after transferring from Kasuragi Elementary School” said Hinata.

“Yeah, it seems that you found a familiar with one of your friends, Mimi. Hanako had become friends with you for a long time after you moved from Hawaii last year” said Tomoka.

“Well, it’s true that Hanako is one of my best friends when I entered Keishin, despite we’re not in the same section. Hanako came from section 6-E and I believe that she’s very sweet and energetic” said Mimi.

“What about Kazuko and Mizuki?” asked Maho.

“Uh, you mean, Kazuko and Mizuki? Oh, yeah, both of them are my friends from Ginga’s Basketball Camp. Also, Kazuko and Mizuki are set to join the Keishin Academy Elementary School girls’ basketball team after they are improving their skills and attributes” said Mimi.

“Are they going to be with us later tonight?” asked Natsuhi.

“Yeah! Since they’re permanent residents of the mansions, they will be able to join with us for tonight’s sleepover activity” said Airi. Then, Airi askes Mimi where Kazuko and Mizuki going. “But I don’t know where they are doing, Mimi.”

“They are currently having their own training at one of the basketball courts outside” said Mimi.

“I will let you know that starting Monday, it’s club registration week and I believe that you’re ready to give registration forms to the students from the elementary school level” said Tomoka.

“Of course, Tomoka! The club registration week is a one-week activity for the students of Keishin Academy to find their new clubs for this school year and each group of the Bravehearts have their own interests to join their clubs this year” said Mimi.

“While working for the Bravehearts, they will be able to participate the club activities every Friday except for examination week” said Masami.

“While Kazuko and Mizuki are directly joining the team through Ginga’s advice, Himeko and her group are wished to join the team. I can’t believe that Himeko is ready to join the team, Mimi” said Kagetsu.

“Yeah, but she’ll have to join the tryout alongside her groupmates to see their skills and attributes. After the tryout, we’ll be going to determine who will be joining the team. The training will start one week after the tryout” said Mimi.

“It’s going to be a new season for the Bravehearts as soon as we’re preparing ourselves to compete against the tougher and stronger teams in Ōta” said Hiiragi.

“The future of Keishin is in our hands and it’s time for us to step up and groove to lead for the victory!” said Tsubaki.

“It looks like you’re all prepared to see some aspiring players, who are willing to join the team this year. I hope that you’ll be able to acquire some of the stronger ones once the tryout is over” said Saki.

“Yeah!” said Mimi, Tsubaki, Hiiragi, Kagetsu and Masami.

Someone opens the door which the Bravehearts look at the door. It is revealed to be Kazuko and Mizuki, who were just finished their training.

“Hi, everyone!” said Kazuko.

“Hey, Mimi! It seems that you’re excited to meet your friend” said Mizuki.

“That’s correct, Mizuki. I’m so excited that you’re all here to meet a group of promising players who have a great talent with their versatile styles of play” said Mimi.

“Ah, I know them, Mimi! Those people came from the New Camellian Dragons! Hanako knows about that group” said Kazuko.

“Well, what a coincidence that one of our friends, Hanako Kotobuki, had an elder sister who led the original Camellian Dragons” said Mimi.

“The New Camellian Dragons is the second group that uses the name of the ‘Camellian Dragons’ and they have a greater potential to play for top universities in Tokyo” said Saki.

“And to be honest, we have five members who believed to be classmates in our section!” said Airi.

“They are Toshihiro Kanzaki, Chinami Itagaki, Ayaka Kutaragi, Momoe Nagashima and Teruko Sugiyama. The rest of their members are either in middle school or in Kasuragi Elementary School” said Maho.

“So, you finally know that group?” asked Kazuko.

“Yeah!” said Tomoka, Maho, Saki, Airi, Hinata, Kagetsu, Mimi, Tsubaki, Hiriagi, Masami and Natsuhi.

“I hope that they’ll bring their stuff to prepare for our sleepover tonight” said Mizuki.

“Yeah, they like to play card and board games” said Kazuko.

“Well, we’ll see, Kazuko. I believe that it’s almost fifteen minutes before six o’clock” said Mimi.

“They’ll be here on time before the clock strikes six. So, let’s wait for them, everyone” said Kagetsu.

“Yeah!” said Tomoka, Maho, Saki, Airi, Hinata, Kagetsu, Mimi, Tsubaki, Hiriagi, Masami, Natsuhi, Kazuko and Mizuki.

Fifteen minutes later, outside the compound of the Misawa Resort Hotel. The New Camellian Dragons are almost heading to the mansion. They are wearing their respective color clothes and holding their stuff from their bags.

“I can’t believe that this place is awesome!” said Shimako Tagami.

“Yeah! That place is suited for vacation and I heard that the mansion is now permanently owned by one of the daughters of the wealthy Misawas” said Yasushi Shionji.

“Well, if that rumor is true, maybe we might be surprised to see her” said Hinata Kiyama.

“Ah, I hope so, Hinata” said Momoe.

Once the New Camellian Dragons reach the mansion, they stop walking and start thrilling. Kana Kawasumi doesn’t know if the mansion is the venue for the sleepover. “So, is this the place we’re going to stay for a day?”

“Why, of course, Kana! That’s the place we’re going to stay for tonight and tomorrow” said Erina.

“I believe that this place has a lot of rooms with 10 rooms located in the second floor and 12 rooms located in the third floor” said Keisuke Sato.

“I guess you’re right, Keisuke. It looks like that place is resembled to a villa that my family owned in Yokohama” said Akane Takenaga.

“Oh, I get it. Well, I’m sure that this place would be cozier than the boarding house” said Yūto Iwase.

“Yeah, I’m humbled to visit this place, everyone” said Teruko.

“Me too, Teruko!” said Chinami Kasai.

“Hanako-san, do you think you can lead first before we’ll follow you?” asked Ryūichi Ōsugi.

“Oh, sure, Ryūichi-kun. I’ll be glad that you’ll ready to get thrilled when we finally enter this place” said Hanako Itō. Hanako walks alone before the door of the entrance. “I’ll knock the door first.” Hanako manages to knock the door before someone opens the door.

Tomoka opens the door. Tomoka is surprised to see Hanako and the members of the New Camellian Dragons. “Oh, you’re all here! I can’t believe that you’re wearing the group shirt.”

“Yep. This shirt was designed by our own Aya Masamune and Mao Asakura. They are very good in designing Japanese dragons. Both girls have the same month of their birthday” said Hanako.

“My birthday is on October 22” said Aya Masamune.

“And my birthday is on October 7” said Mao Asakura.

“Wow! That’s beautiful!” said Tomoka.

“Indeed, it is, Tomoka! Maybe, I can design a shirt for you if you want” said Aya.

“Thanks, but I have my own set of T-shirts in my closet. I can get one if I have an option to wear it as soon as possible” said Tomoka.

“Okay, Tomoka!” said Aya and Mao.

“Can we enter to this place?” asked Hanako.

“Oh, sure. Please, come in!” said Tomoka.

The New Camellian Dragons enter to the living room of the mansion.

“Amazing!” said Toshihiro.

“It’s beautiful!” said Ayaka.

“I like this place! I remember that place before” said Chinami.

“It feels like this place had a fine selection of furniture” said Shimako.

“That sofa was resembled to the one my parents bought in the large appliance store” said Momoe.

“What do you think? Isn’t comfortable as you said earlier?” asked Tomoka.

“Yeah!” said the New Camellian Dragons.

“Oh, please, sit down” said Tomoka.

The members of the New Camellian Dragons sit down in the sofa and they are so excited to join Mimi and her friends in a sleepover later tonight.

“It’s an honor to welcome us to this place! I love this place and it reminds me that it looked like a large room with fine Japanese plants being placed around the room. Oh, that reminds me, I looked at that place during the afterparty of the Hasegawa Cup” said Hanako.

“Wait a minute, I remember that place too!” said Yūto.

“You’re probably right, Yūto. Hanako, you remember that place too?” said Shimako.

“Oh, yeah, I remember that place, Shimako. That’s where the three of us alongside Toshihiro and Chinami visiting that place and we ate the food together” said Hanako.

“Yeah!” said Yūto and Shimako.

“I saw you and your friends wondering around the hall to view the restaurant. I hope that you can remember the name of our restaurant” said Tomoka.

Hanako thinks first before she knows the name of the place located at the hall of the mansion during the afterparty of the Hasegawa Cup. “You mean, the Little Wing Restaurant?”

The flashback shows Hanako and Yūto sitting alongside Shimako, Toshihiro and Chinami walking to the hall.

“Uh, can I have a table for the five of us?” asked Hanako.

“Of course, ma’am. You may enter to this place” said Masayoshi.

“Okay, thanks!” said Hanako. Hanako, Yūto, Shimako, Toshihiro and Chinami enter to the hall, which is filled with many people waiting for their food.

“This is a magnificent place! I believe that it looked like a ballroom. I can’t believe that they designed the tablecloths for each table!” said Yūto.

“Yeah” said Hanako, Shimako, Toshihiro and Chinami.

Tomoka walks to greet Hanako, Yūto, Shimako, Toshihiro and Chinami a welcome to the Little Wing Restaurant. “Welcome to the Little Wing Restaurant! Please, I will accompany you to your table.”

“Okay!” said Hanako, Yūto, Shimako, Toshihiro and Chinami.

While walking on their way to their table, Hanako looks at Tomoka. “Wow! That girl is so beautiful and her way of speaking is expressing my gratitude. I heard her before, but she’s a member of the Keishin Academy Elementary School girls’ basketball team. What a great girl after I looked at me.”

Later, Hanako, Yūto, Shimako, Toshihiro and Chinami eat their food in their own table. Hanako feels happy after eating her food, which is tonkatsu. “It’s so delicious!”

“See, I told you that their foods are delicious!” said Yūto.

“And these are made from our cook Sakura. Sakura always cook foods for us and she’s always energetic when it comes to her favorite type of food, fish!” said Tomoka.

“Ah, I see! Well, I like it! Thanks, Tomoka!” said Hanako.

“You’re welcome!” said Tomoka, who gives Hanako and her friends a smile.

The flashback ends and Hanako finally remembers their first encounter. “Oh, I can’t believe that you’re the waitress who gives the food to the guests. I finally remember you now.”

“Oh, eh… I believe that you’re one of the guests who came to our restaurant in the afterparty. Well, I’m glad that you visit this place before, Hanako” said Tomoka.

“Yeah!” said Hanako.

“Well, it appears that you’re all here!” said Jun, who joins with her friends from her group Jun’s Angels.

“Jun! It’s so nice to see you!” said Hanako, who walks to meet Jun and the Angels.

“It’s been a while that you are working for the restaurant. I can’t believe that you’re getting with Tomoka” said Hanako.

“Yeah, Hanako. You see, we have an activity after the Hasegawa Cup where we persuade my friends of mine to visit the hall and see the magnificent restaurant that we experiment” said Jun.

“Yeah! Oh, please, come join with us, Jun!” said Hanako.

“Okay!” said Jun.

Part 2 will be on the next post.

“Is that you and your groupmates?” asked Hanako.

“Yeah! We met each other in different places even the Little Wing Orphanage and the Nukui Residence” said Jun.

“Well, I understand” said Hanako.

“So, did you have members of the family?” asked Teruko.

“Uh, the four of us don’t have parents. That’s me, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura. My parents were divorced when I was a sweet and young girl” said Jun.

“My father died after I was born and my mother also died before I enter the Little Wing. I only spent time in the United Kingdom because my mother, Alice Brunell Stevenson, lived there before” said Nozomi.

“My parents died before I was adopted by Master. My mother died when I was three and my father passed away four years ago. I called Jun, Nozomi and Sakura ‘sisters’ because the four of us were orphans. I have a cousin named Shinobu Hirasawa through one of the sisters of my father” said Sora.

“I lived with my paternal grandparents are my parents are divorced. While I was studying in Niida Nishi, I found new interests in baking and fishing” said Sakura.

“That’s why you can call us ‘sisters’!” said Jun.

“My parents Keisuke and Azuki lived together in Shimomaruko while the two of us lived in Den-en-chōfu” said Kyō.

“We usually become the only two of us living in our home, but we occasionally allowed Jun and her friends to stay with us for some time. Right now, we don’t know if Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura will have their freedom to live with us either at our home or at the mansion, but we’ll be ready to talk with Masayoshi” said Kurumi.

“I talked to Masayoshi on my phone earlier and he said that he’s meeting with our relatives if they will be able to stay with him at the Little Wing. If they do, then Masayoshi will try his best to convert from an orphanage to a boarding house, but the orphanage will still be operated under Masayoshi’s circumstances” said Sakura.

“I supposed that it should work if Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura are going to leave the Little Wing, but it will depend on my decision as well. My mother will bring one representative to join with Masayoshi for tomorrow’s meeting. I can’t wait to see what will happen once all things are going to be settled by every one of us!” said Kōme.

“While you enjoyed your stay at the mansion, we have a meeting with our fellow friends from the Family of Angels and hopefully, we’ll be able to agree these things when Masayoshi and the representative from the Ogi clan will be joining with us for the meeting. I’m sure that there will be a surprised idea that Jun came up” said Yuzuha.

“What’s the surprised idea you come up, Jun? Is it an important event for the Little Wing?” asked Teruko.

“Actually, it’s our first anniversary of our band, Lien de Famille. Also, it’s going to be a week-long activity that our group and the Family of Angels will be collaborating and it’s our opportunity to organize these events right after the month of April” said Jun.

“But for now, we’ll reveal everything tomorrow as this is the moment that we have to keep our cherishment, wisdom and smile” said Nozomi.

“Yeah, I hope that you’ll make yourself comfortable when you will be staying here for the sleepover activity later tonight” said Sora.

“Okay!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

“Uh, Kōme, I have a question. Where is the origin of your family?” said Naoki Takayama.

“My family originally lived in the Musashi Province during the Tokugawa period before the abolition of the han system. Then, we decided to stay in Tokyo (formerly Edo) for almost a century before my grandparents decided to move our home to Soryu Island. I had a connection with the Ōshima clan in Setagaya where Yōdai Ōshima lived there” said Kōme.

“I believe that you have connections within the clan, Kōme. Are you the current Shine Priestess of Soryu Island?” said Setsuko Yoshimura.

“Uh, I’m the current Shrine Priestess of Soryu Island after my mother Sayuri abdicated last two years ago. I was appointed the Shrine Priestess of the Soryu Island on my tenth birthday. That is, before Kyō and his friends arrived there for their summer vacation last year. It’s a long story about what happened to both of us after my secrets were revealed to Kyō. I finally mended that problem when I feel confessed to his feelings even Kyō was admitting Jun to impress her” said Kōme.

“So, that’s why you’re feeling motivated when you confessed him. Isn’t right?” said Chinami Kasai.

“Yeah, I found new interests on him because I connected with him through online chat. Although, it wasn’t Yuzuha who admitted that she’s trying to get Kyō and his friends out of the island, but I was responsible for not protecting the wall mural that was wiped out by the storm. Right now, I feel happy to be with Kyō and his friends including Jun. I think it’s better to admit Kyō for his feelings because I wanted to be with him even he’s dating Jun, but I’m okay with his condition” said Kōme.

“Yeah, that’s true. Kōme is known for her illustrations that I impressed because she was very admired when she draws those. I started to feel impressed when Kōme liked my songs, but then, it’s a simple connection between Kōme’s group and our group that creates a unified group known as Jun’s Angels” said Kyō.

“Kōme had a lot of connections with the other members of her clan especially for her cousin Anzu. Anzu’s father is Masahide Ogi and then, Kōme’s father is Kenta Ogi. They aren’t allowed to become the Shrine Priests because only female members can take the position of the Shrine Priestess of her hometown” said Jun.

“It’s an honor that you can call me ‘Kiriyu-sama’ just like Yuzuha and my friends in our group” said Kōme.

“Okay, we got it!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

“Uh, what’s your plan for your band’s anniversary? Did you have something to say special?” asked Chinami Itagaki.

“Actually, we have, but we can’t say that to everyone because it’s not finalized yet” said Jun.

“Yeah, I understand. Anyway, I’m glad that we meet each other for the first time since I loved your songs. I heard one of your songs once and I liked it by the way you sang that with your heart” said Chinami Itagaki.

“Oh, it’s nothing, but our band had true passion of singing with our hearts. That’s what we do! Right, everyone?” said Jun.

“Yeah!” said Nozomi, Sora, Kyō, Sakura, Kurumi, Kōme and Yuzuha.

“Ah, I believe that you’re all fans with Jun and her group. What a coincidence that you’re connected with each other!” said Mimi.

“Well, the Shiromidai chapter of the New Camellian Dragons are loyal fans of Lien de Famille and Dragon≒Nuts! For me and my groupmates, we like their songs, but we aren’t fans of them because we came from the Kasuragi Elementary School. Of course, there’s no difference between the two chapters of our group that have interests of their own” said Hanako.

“We also know that there are many fans of Jun’s Angels in Shimomaruko and Den-en-chōfu, mostly students who were eighteen years and below” said Kana Kawasumi.

“In Kasuragi, a few of our friends from our class had become fans of Jun’s Angels because they love their songs and have interested in owning their music group soon” said Shimako Tagami.

“I hope that you’ll organize the concert on the first week of May, Jun. I want to hear your songs because those are awesome!” said Toshihiro Kanzaki.

“Well, we will do it for all, Toshihiro! Don’t be so surprised that we’ll be going to hold an anniversary concert during the Golden Week. We’re expecting that on May 3, that will be the day that we’re going to hold the concert. Also, we’re planning to finalize those before tomorrow, but I hope that you’ll be able to memorize the lyrics of our songs!” said Jun.

“Ah, okay!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

“Mimi, when the sleepover activity expects to start?” asked Erina Miyagi.

“Uh, we should start after the dinner. We’re still waiting for Subaru and his team to be with us” said Mimi.

Tomoka reads the text message of Subaru from her phone before talking to everyone. “Oh, good news, everyone! Nashiba had won their match against Setagaya Izumi! They have a heroic effort to stop one of the best shooting guards in Tokyo. We will congratulate them with a dinner for tonight!”

“Did you say ‘dinner’?!” said Asumi. Asumi appears after she finished cooking the foods for dinner. “I guess you’re all hungry now, everyone, but we should wait for Subaru and his crew to get along with us and then, we’ll eat our dinner!”

“Yeah!” said the Bravehearts, Jun’s Angels and the New Camellian Dragons.

Later, Subaru and Team Hasegawa would appear at the mansion and are being surprised by the Bravehearts, Jun’s Angels and the New Camellian Dragons. “Surprise!”

“Oh, everyone! You surprised me! I guess you’re all hungry for dinner” said Subaru.

“Yeah!” said Asumi, the Bravehearts, Jun’s Angels and the New Camellian Dragons.

“Well, then, our group bought some food at the Suzuran Shopping Street and we were able to save our money for next week. I’m sure that you’ll like it! Let’s eat!” said Subaru.

“Okay!” said Asumi, the Bravehearts, Jun’s Angels and the New Camellian Dragons.

At the dining room, Subaru, Asumi, the Bravehearts and the members of Team Hasegawa, Jun’s Angels and the New Camellian Dragons would thank the food before they begin to eat. “Thanks for the food!”

Everyone eat their food before they feel happy that the food that Subaru and his friends bought are delicious. Asumi feels delighted after her seatmates are enjoyed eating the grilled fish platter she cooked.

“It’s delicious!” said some of the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

“Yep. It’s true that I made those foods with my own preference. I like rice dishes and grilled fish and with the help of Sakura, I made a perfect platter of chahan and sashimi” said Asumi.

“Well, it makes wonder when I’m possibly going to cook that kind of platter if I want, but I’m okay with the taste of the chahan and sashimi” said Mao Asakura.

“Of course, you can, Mao! I hope that you will be able to cook a platter of your own! It’s your choice” said Asumi.

“Okay!” said Asumi.

“Subaru, these foods are so good! I can’t feel craving anymore because they’re delicious!” said Akane Takenaga.

“Yeah! My friends and I have choices to buy the food for dinner! So, it’s more fun to eat your favorite food! I’m delighted to see you and your friends eat our preferred choices” said Subaru.

“Well, I’m fine with that, Subaru! Anyway, thank you very much, Subaru!” said Akane.

“You’re welcome!” said Subaru.

Once Subaru, Asumi, the Bravehearts and the members of Team Hasegawa, Jun’s Angels and the New Camellian Dragons finish their dinner, the New Camellian Dragons are heading to the third floor to look at the rooms they’ll use for their sleepover activity.

“Mimi, where do you take us to the place we’re going to sleep for tonight?” asked Hanako.

“There are two rooms that we’re reserving for your group. So, I will take you there for you to sleep there. Also, there’s a door switch between the two rooms, Room #9 and Room #11. You can create more space with the two rooms by using the door switch. You will make yourself more comfortable if you want to use the door switch” said Mimi.

“Okay, Mimi! I understand about that. We’ll decide on what to do with the rooms we take” said Hanako.

“I’m glad that you’ll be able to have a wonderful night, everyone!” said Mimi. Mimi stops walking to show the members of the New Camellian Dragons the room they’re going to use. “This is Room #9.” Mimi would open the door of Room #9 before opening another room. “And this is Room #11. Those rooms will be used for the sleepover activity.”

Mimi and the members of the New Camellian Dragons enter Room #9 before Mimi and Hanako walks to the door switch. “One, two, three, push!” Mimi and Hanako pull the door switch together and this would create open space for the two rooms that the New Camellian Dragons are going to occupy.

“There! That’s your place the sleepover activity. I’ll see you later, everyone! Have a great night and make yourself comfortable!” said Mimi, who leaves the room.

“Okay, Mimi! Thank you very much!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

“Alright, team! We should start assigning our members on who should sleep in Room #9 and Room #11” said Hanako.

“Okay!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

Hanako, Chinami I., Erina and Teruko assign the members of the group to sleep in either Room #9 or Room #11. Hanako calls out the members of the New Camellian Dragons-Kasuragi to stay at Room #9 while the members of the New Camellian Dragons-Shiromidai would stand in between the two rooms.

Hanako would announce the room assignment for Room #9. “Room #9 will be occupied by the members of the New Camellian Dragons-Kasuragi. The names are me (Hanako Itō), Toshihiro Kanzaki, Chinami Itagaki, Ayaka Kutaragi, Momoe Nagashima, Shimako Tagami, Yūto Iwase, Erina Miyagi, Akane Takenaga, Keisuke Sato, Yasushi Shionji, Hinata Kiyama and Kana Kawasumi.”

Then, Erina announces the room assignment for Room #11. “On the other hand, Room #11 will be occupied by the New Camellian Dragons-Shiromidai. So, this will be composed of its leader, Teruko Sugiyama, Aya Masamune, Chinami Kasai, Mao Asakura, Yōko Owada, Setsuko Yoshimura, Minami Asagi, Naoki Takayama, Michiya Haketa and Ryūichi Ōsugi. That’s going to be our room assignment for our group before we’ll start the sleepover activity.”

“Okay, team! Let’s play card games first!” said Teruko.

“Okay!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

The members of the New Camellian Dragons start their first activity for their sleepover activity by doing a card game activity. They sit down in the place mattress in between the two rooms before they start the first activity.

Toshihiro, Yūto, Keisuke, Yasushi, Naoki, Michiya and Ryūichi would play card games where they should bet on who has the warmest color. Teruko instructs the members of the New Camellian Dragons about the “Warmest Color” Card Game. “The rule of this activity is that everyone must hold only one card in hand. The one who holds the card that has the warmest color wins the match. In case of tie, there are numbers ‘0’ to ‘15’ and the only way to determine a true winner is to have the highest number in that card. We can’t do that if any player holds the cards that aren’t in the same color even if two or more players have the card that aren’t the warmest color. So, are we all clear with the rules of the game?”

“Yeah!” said Toshihiro, Yūto, Keisuke, Yasushi, Naoki, Michiya and Ryūichi.

“Alright, boys! Are you ready for this activity?” said Teruko.

“Okay!” said Toshihiro, Yūto, Keisuke, Yasushi, Naoki, Michiya and Ryūichi.

“Oh, one more thing, it will be a battle royal style. It means one with the card that is the coldest color will be eliminated from the activity. So, don’t be upset if you have the card with the coldest color. Here is the ranking of the colors: brown is the highest, followed by red, vermillion, orange, amber, yellow, chartreuse, green, teal, blue, violet, purple, magenta and finally, black, which is the lowest. Anyone who has the black card doesn’t mean you’re out automatically. So, watch out on that card!” said Hanako.

“Okay, we got it!” said Toshihiro, Yūto, Keisuke, Yasushi, Naoki, Michiya and Ryūichi.

“Then, let’s start the game!” said Teruko.

“Okay!” said Toshihiro, Yūto, Keisuke, Yasushi, Naoki, Michiya and Ryūichi.

The first round starts with the boys pick their card. Then, they will reveal the card. Keisuke gets the lowest level with the color violet, which means he’s out of the match. Michiya gets the winning card being the warmest color.

The next round comes after Minami Asagi joins the activity. Once again, the boys will pick the card to determine which card is the warmest and so Minami did. At the end, Michiya gets the warmest color while Naoki gets the coldest color.

“You’re out, Naoki!” said Teruko.

Then, the montage shows the members of the New Camellian Dragons compete for the warmest color. Toshihiro has 4 wins, followed by Michiya and Hinata Kiyama, who have 3 wins. Teruko and Hanako didn’t join the activity because they’re the judges of the first activity.

Later, it’s all down to five members remaining: Toshihiro, Michiya, Ayaka, Yūto and Aya Masamune. Aya was out first, picking the card with the coldest color, followed by a tie between Yūto and Michiya.

“Looks like Yūto and Michiya both hold the card that has the coldest color. So, it’s time to determine whose card has the highest number. And Yūto has the highest number with ‘11’ while Michiya has the ‘4’ in the card. So, that means, Michiya is out of the match!” said Teruko.

“Unbelievable! While Ayaka gets the warmest card, Michiya holds the coldest card through a tiebreaker. This results to Ayaka moving up and tie with Toshihiro for the most wins. Now, time to continue the round!” said Hanako.

The next round comes with only three remaining members picking the card. Yūto gets the blue card, Ayaka gets the orange card and Toshihiro gets the brown card.

“And Yūto gets the coldest color. Sorry, but you’re out! Now, we’re down to only two members! Who will survive with the warmest color? We’ll find out!” said Teruko.

Ayaka and Toshihiro are ready to pick the card before Hanako says, “Go!”

As Ayaka and Toshihiro pick the card, Toshihiro gets the orange color and Ayaka gets the yellow card. Teruko finally announces the winner of the match. “Looks like Ayaka gets the coldest color of the card and she’s out of the match! What a way to end the first activity of our sleepover as Toshihiro wins the match! Congratulations, Toshihiro!”

“Thanks, Teruko! I came up with my strategy in getting the warmest color when I picked the right color. Anyway, great game, Ayaka!” said Toshihiro.

“Yeah, Toshihiro. It was a fair fight between the two of us!” said Ayaka.

“Yeah!” said Toshihiro.

“Next time, I will win this time!” said Ayaka.

“Oh, okay, but I will keep it in my mind that I will win another ‘Warmest Color’ match!” said Toshihiro.

“Okay, Toshihiro. I will make my fingers crossed for another match!” said Ayaka.

“You sure will!” said Toshihiro.

“Alright, everyone! Let’s move on to another activity! It’s called ‘Building a Large Blueprint’. All of us must share ideas to create a blueprint in a piece of large paper. Of course, everyone will contribute. So, start getting ideas before drawing your inspiration in a large white paper! Let’s start!” said Shimako.

“Yeah!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

The members of New Camellian Dragons begin to think their ideas before drawing their ideas in a large piece of paper. Thirty minutes later, Mimi arrives to meet the New Camellian Dragons.

“So, how’s it going?” asked Mimi.

“We’re having fun playing card games and then, we’re drawing a large blueprint for another activity for tonight” said Aya Masamune.

“Oh, that’s great! I hope that I want to see the final product of your work once it reaches ten in the evening. So, I’ll wait here until you’re all done!” said Mimi.

“Okay!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

Then, after drawing some designs in a large piece of paper, the New Camellian Dragons finish creating their blueprint at 9:54 in the evening.

“Mimi, it’s done! Take a look!” said Hanako.

Mimi looks at the drawing in the large piece of paper. “Hmmm… Interesting. I believe that you have a great drawing time to design everything in one piece of paper! Well, I share something that you will never experience this before.”

Jun and her group, Jun’s Angels, would arrive as well after Jun opened the door of the Room #9.

“Oh, I like stories, Jun! Looks like they’re ready to hear a story!” said Jun.

“Hey, it looks like they’re doing a group drawing!” said Sakura.

“That’s right, Sakura. We’re making doing a drawing activity that we brought some ideas to inspire” said Hanako.

“All of us have some ideas to draw before putting them all in a large piece of paper” said Teruko.

“Well, good for you, everyone!” said Sora.

“I guess that drawing is a map of your proposed community in the future. Great drawing, everyone!” said Nozomi.

“Thanks, Nozomi!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

“Can you place it into the wall, so that everyone will view it?” asked Kyō.

“Sure, why not!” said Teruko. The members of the New Camellian Dragons agree to put their drawing in the wall.

Yōko Owada and Hinata Kiyama put the large piece of paper into the wall by taping it carefully.

“Everyone! This is what our drawing looks like. We inspired our ideas coming from us!” said Yōko Owada.

“Now, everyone will know their hopes and dreams that they need to keep it as a secret. Right, everyone?” said Hinata Kiyama.

“Yeah, Hinata!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

“Well, you’re all too kind to see the future, Hinata. Speaking of secrets, we will ask you one by one to hear your secrets. I believe that we’re good enough to be brave and bold. Of course, we can’t reveal it to others because it’s just a secret. Right, everyone?” said Mimi

“Yeah!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons and Jun’s Angels.

“Okay! Let’s start! So, what are your secrets?” said Mimi.

The New Camellian Dragons tell their secret to Mimi and Jun’s Angels.

“I always like to play music” said Teruko.

“I always hang around with my younger brother Tōru in the Suzuran Shopping Street every weekend” said Aya Masamune.

“I like to work out at my family gym with my friends” said Chinami Kasai.

“I love the artworks of Shigeki Tamashirō, an illustrator in my family business” said Mao Asakura.

“I love to see the night view at my home” said Yōko Owada.

“I love to listen to pop music” said Setsuko Yoshimura.

“I like any type of yakimono like gyoza and okonomiyaki” said Minami Asagi.

“I like to play video games at my friend’s house” said Naoki Takayama.

“I own a family business by selling shakes” said Michiya Haketa.

“My friends usually invited me to shopping every weekend” said Ryūichi Ōsugi.

“I like to travel around the country like going to Kyoto or Osaka” said Kana Kawasumi.

“I like to draw some Japanese calligraphy lessons through my aunt” said Hinata Kiyama.

“I watch action and fantastical anime with my friends” said Yasushi Shionji.

“I usually played different sports aside from basketball like badminton, handball and shogi” said Keisuke Sato.

“Like Keisuke, I played different sports like beach volleyball, golf and karate” said Akane Takenaga.

“I used to design architectural houses in my hometown where my parents worked in a large building company” said Erina Miyagi.

“My brother Keisuke and I have played card games with either my family members or my friends” said Yūto Iwase.

“I love to buy plush toys that are cute because I’m always bringing those at school” said Shimako Tagami.

“My family owned a garage business and I love to ride a bicycle everyday” said Momoe Nagashima.

“When Tsubasa was in the hospital, I taught her some origami and card designing, so that she won’t miss on her class” said Ayaka Kutaragi.

“I want to spend my family in a vacation in Saitama where most of my maternal family members are living there” said Chinami Itegaki.

“I want to become a basketball superstar and play in the national league” said Toshihiro Kanzaki.

“And for me, I want to own an organization with everyone I met, so that we can go around to enjoy in Ōta” said Hanako Itō.

“I’m so thrilled that you reveal your secrets about your family and your hobbies, but I expect to see more of your secrets once we’re going to have activities that you’ll enjoy. I would be more delighted that you’re going to join with us for some fun!” said Mimi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

“That’s great! Now, shall I tell everyone a story?” said Mimi.

“Okay!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons and Jun’s Angels.

Mimi starts telling her story about the formation of Team Aurora. “Now, after our team lost in the Ōta District Tournament against Suzuridani, my teammates and I were wondering what we do next.”

The flashback starts when Kagetsu and Mimi are sitting together with Tsubaki, Hiiragi and Masami.

“What should we do? Since we lost in the Ōta District Tournament, we can do anything we want. Of course, we should watch the matches at the Nishina Stadium” said Mimi.

“Uh, we want to help you in creating your own group!” said Kagetsu.

“That’s a great idea, Kagetsu! So, how did you come up with that idea?” said Mimi.

“Well, the main reason why we want to help you in forming a new group is because I heard that our senpais have set of friends based on their interests. Of course, Kagetsu joined with Hinata to form the Innocent Charm, Tsubaki and Hiiragi created their own group that share their interests with fellow basketball players, Ken, Shinobu, Sukehiro and Takahiro, and I made a group of my own composed of my fellow friends who loved to visit my restaurant, Sushi Fujii” said Masami.

“That’s why you’re the only one who didn’t form a group of friends” said Tsubaki.

“Yeah! I mean, you’re less expressive and you’re calm just like your classmates in that class” said Hiiragi.

“Yeah, it’s true that I’m less expressive and calm. Okay, then, since I didn’t meet some other friends other than Kagetsu’s group, I haven’t thought how I can do it” said Mimi.

“Uh, what about Kazuko and Mizuki? They are friends of yours during the summer camp. Will you convince them to form a group?” said Masami.

“I think I can do it, Masami. Kazuko and Mizuki are very good in playing basketball, but they never make it to our team because they declined their invitation to join with us” said Mimi.

“Ah, I see. Okay, Mimi, we should do this” said Kagetsu.

“Okay!” said Mimi.

Mimi, Kagetsu, Masami, Tsubaki and Hiiragi walk to the room of section 5-E to meet Kazuko and Mizuki. Mimi continues to narrate the story. “Then, the five of us meet two of my friends from the summer camp, Kazuko Kakimoto and Mizuki Koyama. I convinced them to form a group of our own and they accept it. Later, I had an idea in making a group of friends of mine that are interested in academics and being conveyed with their feelings.”

“Kazuko, who should invite to our group?” asked Mimi.

“Well, I have a friend of mine named Hanako Kotobuki. She’s the president of our class and she’s very passive when it comes to her expressive personality” said Kazuko.

“Okay, then. Let’s convince her to join our group” said Mimi.

“Sure, Mimi!” said Kazuko and Mizuki.

As Hanako is about to leave the room, she is approached by Mimi, Kazuko and Mizuki. “Oh, Kazuko and Mizuki, what are you doing?”

“You see, you had an expressive feeling. Right?” said Kazuko.

“Yeah, I believe that you’re true about my feeling today” said Kazuko.

“Well, what about you should team up with us?” asked Mizuki.

“Oh, I think I would. Well, then, I’m counting in!” said Hanako.

“Good! Then, let’s find some more members to create a group!” said Mimi.

“Okay!” said Kazuko, Mizuki and Hanako.

Mimi continues to narrate the story where Mimi, Kazuko, Mizuki, Hanako, Kagetsu, Masami, Tsubaki and Hiiragi find some members in trying to form Mimi’s own group. “After Hanako joined the group, Hanako’s classmates finally joined my group as well. They are Izumi Masuda, Kurumi Sato, Junichi Miruzawa and Sōichi Aoyama (the youngest brother of Saori Aoyama). Another thing that what happened is that Yoko Shimizu and her friends have accepted their invitation to join my group after Kagetsu and I talked to them in the hallway. Finally, Jūbei Koga and his friends from Manaka’s Boys would join the group with the agreement between me and Manaka. And that’s how my team, Team Aurora, was born.”

The flashback ends after Mimi, Kazuko, Mizuki, Hanako and the members of Team Aurora use their fist-bumps as a sign of forming a new group.

“It’s a big coincidence that my group is compared to the Family of Angels and the Orange and Fuchsia. The Family of Angels was formed last January after the merger between Tomoka’s Shining Camellia and three groups from the Shiromidai Elementary School, composed of Team Gotō-Takao (led by Hitomi Takao), Team Takeda (led by Michiko Takeda) and Jun’s Angels (led by Jun Gotō). The Orange and Fuchsia was formed, originally the students from Keishin Academy, led by Asuna Hayashida and Minami Ogura, before Kurumi’s friends have joined the group after Jun and Kurumi have an agreement with Airi in letting Kurumi’s friends to join the Orange and Fuchsia” said Mimi.

“Ah, I understand about that. Well, that was a nice formation of your group, Mimi. I mean, that group is very passive and very calm like a wind. I have another question to ask. So, how did your group form a merger with your friends from the summer camp?” said Teruko.

“Ah, good question. You see, it happened a week after I met Asumi Hiramatsu in her town’s basketball court. Before the semifinal match between Kasuragi and Matsuyama, we met Asumi outside the stadium where I asked Asumi if my friends from the summer camp would be joining to Team Aurora” said Mimi.

The flashback shows how Ginga’s Pupils is merged with Team Aurora. Mimi asks Asumi if Ginga’s Pupils will be joining Team Aurora. “Asumi, what about if our friends from the summer camp will be joining forces with my group, Team Aurora?”

“Actually, sure, Mimi. I know that they missed us, but I hope they’ll be here in the final between us and the winner of today’s match: either Kasuragi or Matsuyama. The final will be held tomorrow at the Nishina Stadium at three in the afternoon” said Asumi.

“Well, I don’t know if you’ll be facing Matsuyama, which has Rina Akinaga and Hiroe Yamagiwa, because Kasuragi had a great set of versatile and fast-paced players. Maybe, Tsubasa Sugimoto is coming back in action for the first time” said Mimi.

“Uh, I hope so, Mimi” said Asumi.

“Okay, then. Are we in the same page, Asumi?” said Mimi.

“Yep!” said Asumi.

“Then, let’s watch the semifinal match to determine your opponent for tomorrow’s match!” said Mimi.

“Yeah!” said Asumi, much to the delight of the members of Team Aurora.

Mimi continues to narrate as Mimi, Asumi and the members of Team Aurora watch the semifinal match between Kasuragi and Matsuyama. “And with that, Ginga’s Pupils and Team Aurora would join forces to create a big and formidable team that we’re expecting to compete in the Ōta League in the future. Then, the next day, that’s where all members of Ginga’s Pupils including me and Asumi had finally reunite with each other. After Shiromidai defeated Kasuragi in the final, we created a big party for Asumi and the Shiromidai Elementary School girls’ basketball team at the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel.”

Once the flashback ends, Mimi feels like she’s enthusiastic after she and her friends formed her own group of friends, Team Aurora. “At the end of the day, it’s a big opportunity to form a large group of friends from the future captain of the Keishin Academy Elementary School girls’ basketball team. That’s why I’m always motivated with my friends even Hiramatsu-san and Kotobuki-san because they are very interested in standing against the wind when they are facing the view of the sky.”

“So, what’s your plans for Team Aurora, Mimi? I’m expecting to see them” said Hinata Koyama.

“Well, they will be here tomorrow and hopefully, they will be staying in the mansion for the weekend because they’ll be training together with the Innocent Charm. The Innocent Charm, which has three groups, will compete in the Ōmori Invitationals next week. I hope that I can help the Prestigious Charm if I have time to meet them. Kagetsu won’t worry about this because I’m her best friend and I can do it for her friends” said Mimi.

“Well, that reminds me that Yasushi and I have a group of our own. Maybe, we’re expecting to invite them to the mansion to help them for their early preparation for the next week’s tournament” said Hinata Koyama.

“Hmm… That’s a great idea, Hinata! Maybe, we should be able to train the members of the Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm as these groups will be ready to compete for the Ōmori Invitationals” said Mimi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

“Kana, Hinata and I are expected to stay at the mansion if we got our approval by our parents. It depends on their decision, we’ll expect to visit this place again” said Yasushi Shionji.

“I hope that you’re all delighted to meet their friends because they have their own aspirations to take and their expressive ways are not much as passive” said Kana Kawasumi.

“That’s true, Kana. Maybe, this collaboration may be our first activity to make since you have agreed to help Subaru and his friends to call for reviving the Dragons of Ōta. Right, everyone?” said Mimi.

“Yeah!” said the members of Jun’s Angels and the New Camellian Dragons.

“Jun, since you’re planning for the activities in the Golden Week, maybe our group can help that too!” said Shimako.

“You have a group of your own?” asked Jun.

“Yeah, I ‘m so excited that you’re going to organize the activities soon, but of course, we should be able to work together as a team. Right, everyone?” said Shimako.

“Yeah!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons-Kasuragi.

“Jun, if Shimako will be helping you, maybe we can help that because we came from Shiromidai and things are going to be interested to make the activities more interesting!” said Setsuko Yoshimura.

“Sure, Setsuko! I’m glad that we’re going to work on that before Masayoshi and the representative from the Ogi clan will arrive to this place tomorrow!” said Jun.

“Yeah!” said Setsuko and the members of the New Camellian Dragons-Shiromidai.

Asumi opens the door of Room #9 and sits beside Mimi in the place mattress. “Here are your drinks!”

“Thanks, Asumi!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

“It’s delicious!” said Chinami Itagaki.

“Yeah! That makes us refreshed!” said Minami Asagi.

“Me too, Minami! I’m feeling good after listing to Mimi’s story!” said Naoki Takayama.

“I hope that you’ll feel refreshed for tomorrow’s activity before Masayoshi and a representative from the Ogi clan will arrive very soon. How about we should watch some videos of selected matches of the Ōta District Tournament?” said Mimi.

“Yeah!” said Asumi and the members of Jun’s Angels and the New Camellian Dragons.

“Okay! Then, let’s watch together!” said Mimi, who smiles in her face.

“Okay!” said Asumi and the members of Jun’s Angels and the New Camellian Dragons. The New Camellian Dragons have enjoyed their sleepover after shared their new inspirations in building their future brighter. Also, before Masayoshi and a representative from the Ogi clan will be visiting the mansion tomorrow afternoon, Shimako, Yasushi, Hinata, Kana and the members of the New Camellian Dragons-Shiromidai call their friends to visit the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel to train the members of the Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm, who are set to participate at the Ōmori Invitationals. Tomorrow, it’s going to be a big day for Jun and her friends in whether they will stay at the Little Wing Orphanage or at the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel. Hopefully, Jun and her friends will be ready to organize their activities that will be collaborated with the Family of Angels and their associates after the meeting ends.

[Sherwin Riga]

Tonight’s update is a special night for Issei Hyodo as he is celebrating his birthday celebration:) in his original Hyodo Residence in Rokugō, Ōta (the current one is in Kuoh). Issei Hyodo is the main protagonist of High School DxD, holds his Sacred Gear, the Balance Breaker, and he is one of my favorite male anime characters. He will be joining with his friends from his own group, the Burnt Leaf, and his new classmates in the Kikuchiba Academy. It’ll be a one night of celebration for Issei as he is officially turning 18 years old. Also, it’s a coincidence that tomorrow (October 11 [Thursday]) is going to be Subaru Hasegawa’s birthday.:D Of course, both Issei Hyodo and Subaru Hasegawa are voiced by my favorite male voice actor, Yūki Kaji.;) So, it’s time to head to tonight’s update with some thrilling and happy moments here at Issei Hyodo’s birthday bash in his home, the Hyodo Residence.:) Enjoy reading Special Chapter 9!:)

Issei Hyodo has a special day for his life: his birthday. His birthday is today (April 16) and he doesn’t want to miss it, thanks to his ‘wives’ including his ‘main’ wife Rias Gremory. Of course, he’s delighted to invite everyone to the Hyodo Residence (mostly girls) to celebrate his birthday celebration. Issei’s birthday party is full of surprises and everyone knows that Issei Hyodo can enjoy his life with all of his promises to be the Harem King. As the birthday goes on, he would be met by his new friends namely Naoyuki Taneda. Naoyuki Taneda is a leader of the Crimson Flames-Kikuchiba and a Rating Game Beginner. He and the Burnt Leaf invited Naoyuki and his team, the Crimson Flames-Kikuchiba, to a match which would be intrigued by anyone who were invited in the party. Then, the big night comes and Issei was flanked by Rias, his friends from the Burnt Leaf and the Crimson Flames-Kikuchiba, as he finally turns eighteen years old. With his continuous bravery and determination, it’s going to be one big night for Issei to remember his memories as he is ready to step up as the manager of the Kikuchiba Academy High School boys’ basketball team. Issei hopes that his future will be brighter than last year as he is seeking to establish the Occult Research Club in the Kikuchiba Academy and makes his internship with the students of the Kikuchiba Academy successful.

VOLUME 6: “PRESTIGIOUS AND DETERMINATION”
SPECIAL CHAPTER 9: “BLAZE IT UP: ISSEI HYODO’S BIRTHDAY BASH”​

April 16 is Issei Hyodo’s birthday and the Burnt Leaf had to do many things to prepare for Issei’s birthday celebration. After the classes are over, the members of the Burnt Leaf went back to the Hyodo Residence and started their preparations for Issei’s birthday celebration later tonight.

Team Gremory: Rias Gremory, Akeno Himejima and Rossweisse
Team Hyodo: Issei Hyodo, Asia Argento, Koneko Toujou, Yuto Kiba, Xenovia Quarta, Irina Shido, Gasper Bloody, Ravel Phoenix, Kuroka, Elmenhilde Karnstein, Seiichi Matsuda, Eiji Motohama, Aika Kiryuu, Kaori Katase, Minami Murayama and Le Fay Pendragon
Students of Kikuchiba Academy: Kenta Suginami, Hideo Suginami, Reiji Matsutomo, Asami Shimizu and Kozue Murayama

“With these preparations are set, we will make Issei’s birthday celebration something special” said Rias.

“What is special?” asked Asia.

“Well, I believe that Issei is very generous guy with his pure heart and I know that he’s going to start doing his own journey with his team. I hope that his team will face off against dominant high school teams in the country” said Rias.

“Ara, ara, I’m sure that he’s going to be here soon. He’s currently hanging out with Irina and Elmenhilde. I wonder what they are doing” said Akeno.

“Issei had a lot of things to remember when he was in Kuoh, but now, I have a feeling that he wants to explore to meet new friends in the human world” said Asia.

“True, Asia. What else he wants to see aside from his new schoolmates?” said Rias.

“I think he’s focusing on the players of the Kikuchiba Academy High School boys’ basketball team” said Asia.

“Well, they should be here as well, but I’m not sure where they come from. Of course, Issei likes any color he saw including my hair color, crimson” said Rias.

“Usually, Issei had to hang out with many girls, but I believe that he will be coming with his friends from Kikuchiba. As long as it’s a big party, we’ll celebrate his birthday tonight!” said Asia.

“Oh, I hope whom invited to his party” said Akeno.

“Yeah, I agree to what Asia said. As far as the crescent moon rises above the sky later, the birthday party is on” said Rias.

Akeno and Asia smile to Rias before replying to her. “Yeah!”

Outside the Hyodo Residence, in the Rokugō district in Ōta, Issei, Elmenhilde and Irina are busy finding a birthday cake at the bakery shop.

“I remembered the fact that this bakery shop is resembled to the one in Kuoh” said Irina.

“Yeah. It seems that I remember this place a long time ago when I celebrated my thirteenth birthday. I will forget to find that place. Here in Ōta, I’m already preparing this all along” said Issei.

“You can say that again, Issei-kun. The party is about to begin at six. So, we don’t be late on your party” said Elmenhilde, who buys a red velvet birthday cake and gives the money to the owner of the bakery shop.

“Yeah!” said Issei and Irina.

“I’m sure that Rias and the gang have done preparing the set for your birthday. I’m sure that it’s going to be a magnificent night for you!” said Irina, who smiles to Issei with her excitement.

“Yes, they know that I’m very patient and respectful in Kuoh Academy a long time ago, but tonight, this is the night where I will get more fun!” said Issei.

Elmenhilde holds the paper bag that contains the birthday cake. “Okay, Issei, I’m done buying the cake. So, what’s next? Waiting for your classmates to come?”

“Well, actually, yeah. I think we should go to the block right now” said Issei.

“Okay!” said Irina and Elmenhilde.

Issei, Irina and Elmenhilde leave the bakery shop and head to a boarding house in the block. The boarding house is located 400 meters away from the Hyodo Residence. Then, they invite the students of Kikuchiba Academy to visit the Hyodo Residence for Issei’s birthday.

It was 5:46 in the afternoon, fourteen minutes before the party. Issei, Irina, Elmenhilde and many students from the Kikuchiba Academy have arrived at the entrance of the Hyodo Residence. Once the students from the Kikuchiba Academy enter to the Hyodo Residence, Issei, Irina and Elmenhilde stay outside while waiting for the time to enter the Residence.

“What are we gonna do?” asked Issei.

“Rias said that you should stay here before six. The two of will help you to wait for the time to open the door” said Irina.

“As long as you’re ready to get surprised, we’ll cover for you!” said Elmenhilde.

“Okay” said Issei.

Thirteen minutes later, Issei looks at his watch and tells the time to Irina and Elmenhilde. “It’s 5:59 in the evening. One minute left.”

“Alright, Issei, put this into your eyes, so that you’ll never see for a while” said Irina.

“But why am I going to wear this?” asked Issei.

“Issei, it’s a surprise. You don’t want to spoil your party, don’t you?” said Elmenhilde, who gives Issei a frown in her face.

“Oh, sorry” said Issei.

“Okay, put it on” said Elmenhilde. Issei covers his eyes with his white towel. “There. Now, what do you think?”

“Uh… I think I finally did it” said Issei.

“Great. Now, let’s accompany you to the door and then, it’s your turn to open it” said Irina.

“Okay” said Issei. Irina and Elmenhilde accompany Issei to the door of the entrance and they stop by facing the door. Issei thinks his thoughts while he was accompanied by the three girls. “Gee. It’s working. I can’t believe that my birthday party is about to begin. Oh, man. I can’t wait to open that door before my very eyes.”

Irina and Elmenhilde count the number down to one. “7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2…”

Issei gulps before safely opens the door. “Here I come.”

“…1!” Irina and Elmenhilde stop counting and Issei opens the door. Issei, Irina and Elmenhilde walk to the living room. Irina gives the signal to Issei.

“Good. Now, uncover the towel to see” said Irina.

Issei manages to remove the towel and hears a confetto popping. The confetto pops and it was revealed that Rias and her friends are shouting together. “Surprise! Happy birthday, Issei!”

Issei was relieved after seeing Rias, the Burnt Leaf and the guests in the house. Issei smiles to them before saying, “Wow! This is just started!”

“Yep. It’s all about you for being the Greatest Man in the Kuoh Academy and now, you’re living up with your new dreams of becoming the manager of the Kikuchiba Academy High School boys’ basketball team. You are a great guy right now” said Rias.

“Ara, ara, I’m so proud of you that you’re finally turning eighteen” said Akeno.

“Issei-kun, happy birthday!” said Asia.

“Issei-senpai” said Koneko before kneeling calmly. “Happy birthday.”

“Thanks, everyone. I know that you’re giving me some spirit to make this birthday party I ever experience” said Issei.

“That’s not all, Issei. You know that you have ambitions to live up your dreams and since you’re a changed man, I think it’s time to for you to start pushing your dreams to have a brighter future” said Yuto.

“Think about your future, Issei. It’s on to you and you’re going to explore more when you step up in the court as the manager of the Kikuchiba Academy High School boys’ basketball team” said Gasper.

“Eh… well, I supposed I would want to step in, but I will” said Issei.

“Trust your friends with your heart even your enemies. Friends or not, you should respect them” said Kuroka.

“Okay, Kuroka. I’m sure that I’ll be fine to have my friends like you” said Issei.

“Yeah” said Kuroka.

“Issei-kun, when you’re going to start your one-year managerial career in the basketball team, always remember that you have your heart to trust anyone. Whether it is either us or them, it’s your destiny to make it” said Ravel.

“Sure, I will” said Issei.

“Issei-san, there are a lot of discoveries you can experience in Tokyo right after you lived in Kuoh for seventeen years. The difference is that people in the human world are very kind and unique to all. I hope that you won’t hurt them” said Rossweisse.

“Yes, Rossweisse. I hope that I won’t hurt anyone in this world” said Issei.

“That’s the definition of defending the honor for everyone in your life” said Azazel. Azazel walks onto Issei before starting at Issei. “It’s a coincidence that you will face new challenge in this human world. There are a lot of times that you have to accept everything. On the other hand, accepting the honor to manage the basketball team would be a lot of easier to motivate yourself and your new team. I’m sure that you’ll need it for your mind, body and soul.”

“Yes, Azazel-kun. I will try my best to make the basketball team dominate” said Issei.

“Good. Now, everyone, let’s celebrate Issei’s birthday party!” said Azazel.

“Okay!” said Issei, the members of the Burnt Leaf and the guests.

Issei’s birthday party is full of surprises when Issei is surprised to see his friends organizing the birthday party all along. At the living room, the guests are eating their food on the plate.

Issei, Motohama, Matsuda, Murayama, Katase and Aika are sitting together in the sofa. They talk each other about the goals of Issei’s birthday party.

“I guess that you’re reaching the age of 18, Issei-kun. I thought that you’re going to give us some plans for us, but I believe that you left so early” said Motohama.

“Well, I almost forgot about it, but I left in the middle of the conversation. So, I gave Katase some minutes to give you and Matsuda to know what to do for my birthday party” said Issei.

“Are you two satisfied with that?” asked Katase.

“Well, almost” said Matsuda.

“Yeah, certainly” said Motohama.

“There are a lot of things to make this birthday party more surprising because I want to celebrate my birthday with a lot of guests coming to our home” said Issei.

“Yeah, it’s a coincidence that since the guys from the boarding school have given their time to visit this place because they know about you” said Aika Kiryuu.

“Oh, Aika, I’m feeling a great organizer in making my birthday party more fun. I’m sure nobody has ever made that before in Kuoh, but you never know what’s the difference in our home and in the human world” said Issei.

Issei, Motohama, Matsuda, Murayama, Katase and Aika laugh together after Issei finished his sentence.

“Yeah, that’s true, Issei-san” said Murayama.

“I guess that it paid off for our chance to meet more friends out here” said Katase.

“So, what’s next, Issei? Are you going to talk to them one by one?” asked Motohama.

“Well, you never know that I have done on that before, but…” said Issei. Issei would sway his left arm before he is going to finish his sentence “…no way! I’m not going to talk to them until somebody recognized me.”

“Wow, good point, Issei” said Matsuda, who groaned in disbelief. Motohama feels quiet after Issei declined to talk to his guests.

“As far as Monday will be the first day to find new members of the Kikuchiba Academy High School boys’ basketball team, I think I will be trying my best to lure some of the best talents in each class” said Issei.

“Fine, then, how about looking at their attires they’re wearing. I’m sure you love fashionable clothes that are beautiful and cute” said Aika.

“Well, I’ll try” said Issei. Issei, Motohama, Matsuda, Murayama, Katase and Aika stand up to meet the guests at the corner of the living room.

“Hey, it’s Issei! My good man!” said Naoyuki Taneda.

“Well, hello, Naoyuki! What’s up?” said Issei, who gives Naoyuki a fist bump and a bro hug.

“Wow! I can’t believe that it’s happening. I thought that you’re an ‘alien’, but you are from Kurenai. I never see you before when you’re entering to our class” said Naoyuki.

“Yeah, it’s true, Naoyuki” said Issei.

“Oh, by the way, I looked forward to read this” said Naoyuki, who pulls a piece of paper and gives it to Issei.

As Issei gets the piece of paper, Issei reads it before asking Naoyuki. “What is this?”

“It’s the Color Wars. The event will be held in June and it’s going to be a big competition in Kikuchiba where a lot of teams facing each other for the supremacy every year” said Naoyuki.

“What a great competition we participated last year” said Masatsugu Arimoto.

“Yep! It was the best when we won the tug-of-war tournament” said Naoyuki.

“Yeah!” said Masatsugu Arimoto.

“Well, I hope that I will be allowed to coach your team” said Issei.

“You mean the Crimson Flames? Oh, yeah, we need you” said Naoyuki.

“Uh… what did you say?” asked Issei.

“We want you to coach our team. Since you’re already hired as the manager of our school’s boys’ basketball team, maybe you should give it a try to be with us” said Naoyuki.

“Well, I would be surprised if I will be coaching with you” said Issei. Issei then raises his fist before pointing at Naoyuki and Masatsugu. “Okay, I can coach your team, so that we will make the Crimson Flames blaze up!”

“Oh, I know what you’re planning, Issei” said Huang Zhelin, a female exchange student from Chumire.

“Really, girl? Wait, I didn’t know you yet” said Issei.

“Oh, excuse me, you’re right. Okay, my name is Huang Zhelin. I’m a second year high school student, born in Yahima, Chumire” said Huang.

“So, you’re eighteen years old…” said Matsuda.

“…and you’re here to study in Kikuchiba?” asked Motohama.

“You got it!” said Huang.

“Oh! I see” said Motohama and Matsuda, who would stare at Issei, Naoyuki and Masatusgu.

“Issei, what are these two doing? Aren’t those girl lovers?” asked Naoyuki.

Issei laughs at Naoyuki with the smile on his face. “Oh, for crying out loud, those guys are lucky as best friends!”

“Lucky?” asked Naoyuki.

“Best friends?” asked Masatsugu.

“Yep. It’s not complicated to say that my two boys are girl lovers, but they’re trying to trick them with their exotic ego” said Issei.

“Hm… kind of strange men, those two are straight to the point in butt in our conversation” said Masatsugu.

“Hey, you two! That’s not nice to interrupt our conversation” said Naoyuki.

“Uh… I’m sorry, Naoyuki. We didn’t mean to disturb your conversation” said Motohama.

“Yeah, we’re trying to look at that beauty” said Matsuda. Matsuda referred the beauty to Huang Zhelin.

“Okay, whatever you do, don’t stalk at her” said Naoyuki.

“Yes, Naoyuki!” said Motohama and Matsuda. Motohama and Matsuda slink away quietly before Issei asks Naoyuki.

“Uh, is something wrong, Naoyuki-san?” asked Issei.

“N-nothing. Nothing at all, Issei” said Naoyuki.

Issei sighs in relief after Motohama and Matsuda didn’t disturb the conversation badly. “Whew, that was a close one. Okay, Naoyuki. Now, you can continue to talk with me.”

“Sure. Uh, as far as I concerned, what do you want for our team?” said Naoyuki.

“Well, if you ask me, I have to be more cooperate to you and your friends as long as that I’m going to put my ambitions on a high note. You wanna see them?” said Issei.

Masatsugu thinks about the question that Issei said while Naoyuki is sometimes thrilled to participate at the training.

“Are you good enough to book a basketball match right now?” asked Masatsugu.

“Yeah! If you’re ready to make this team blazes up, I got two youngsters joining with me” said Issei.

Reiji Matsutomo and Asami Shimizu arrive beside Issei. They shout together. “And that’s us!”

“Wow! I believe that those two prospects are finally here! Can we hear your names?” said Masatsugu.

“Yeah, tell us, tell us!” said Naoyuki.

“My name is Reiji Matsutomo from section 1-C.”

“And my name is Asami Shimizu from section 1-B.”

“Reiji and Asami. It’s nice to see you that you are friends with Issei” said Naoyuki.

“Yep” said Reiji and Asami.

“Oh, looks like the two prospects are finally here! I believe that you two will expecting to join the Crimson Flames, right?” said Risa Hinode.

“Yeah!” said Reiji and Asami.

“But you have to wait for two months to prepare for the Color Wars because other groups will expect to recruit some good talents out here” said Chitose Arakawa.

“Yeah!” said Reiji and Asami.

“Okay, Naoyuki and Masatsugu. I think it’s a good deal” said Issei.

“Well, then, I will call the members of the Crimson Flames to meet each other outside at your basketball court” said Naoyuki.

“Once we’re all here, we’ll start your birthday match” said Masatsugu.

“Okay!” said Issei. Issei and Naoyuki are calling the members of the Crimson Flames to join with them while Reiji, Asami, Masatsugu, Risa, Chitose and Huang are smiling each other.

Part 2 will be on the next post.

Volume 6: "Prestigious and Determination" | Special Chapter 9: "Blaze it Up: Issei Hyodo's Birthday Bash"

Part 2​

Outside the Hyodo Residence, Issei, Matsuda, Motohama, Murayama, Katase, Aika Kiryuu, Reiji, Asami and the members of the Burnt Leaf and the Crimson Flames have arrived at the basketball court.

Crimson Flames-Kikuchiba: Naoyuki Taneda, Masatsugu Arimoto, Risa Hinode, Chitose Arakawa, Huang Zhelin, Chae Jang-Mi, Eom Keon-Woong, Kirari Umezawa, Sora Tatsumi, Norio Sugimoto, Akane Uesaka, Reina Toshima, Daisuke Takayama, Takezō Nagatomo, Nagisa Hirayama, Hirotaka Ōno, Yoshika Kusaka, Naomori Akinaga and Shigeru Kojima

“So, how’s going to be settled, Issei?” asked Naoyuki.

“I believe that your five boys should be in the court to step up against my own boys in a match where the team reaches 21 points win the match. Got it?” said Issei.

“Sounds like it’s good to me. I’ll accept!” said Naoyuki.

“Now, who are your five boys in your team?” asked Issei.

Eom Keon-Woong (PG), Daisuke Takayama (SG), Shigeru Kojima (PF) and Hirotaka Ōno (C) would step up to join with Naoyuki Taneda.

“This is my players, Eom Keon-woong, Daisuke Takayama, Shigeru Kojima and Hirotaka Ōno. You remember Daisuke, Shigeru and Hirotaka? They’re classmates of yours” said Naoyuki.

“Ah, I see. Okay, then, if that’s your team, right?” said Issei. Naoyuki nods his head without saying a word. “Then, I will introduce you to my own team.”

Reiji Matsutomo (PG), Seiichi Matsuda (PF), Eiji Motohama (C), Kenta Suginami (SG) and Hideo Suginami (SF) appear together, joining with Issei to represent the Burnt Leaf.

“Reiji is not only the guy to step up for me, but the rest are here. We’re representing…” said Issei.

Reiji, Seiichi, Eiji, Kenta and Hideo shout together with Issei. “…the Burnt Leaf!”

The Crimson Flames and the Burnt Leaf would face each other in the basketball court. Issei asks Naoyuki. “Naoyuki, are you ready?”

“I’m ready, Issei!” said Naoyuki.

“Then, let’s play!” said Issei.

Reiji and Naoyuki play the game of rock-paper-scissors to determine who should get the first possession. “Jan-ken-pon!” Naoyuki chooses rock while Reiji chooses paper. Reiji wins the game, allowing the Burnt Leaf to start the game.

Burnt Leaf: Reiji Matsutomo (PG), Kenta Suginami (SG), Hideo Suginami (SF), Seiichi Matsuda (PF), Eiji Motohama (C)
Crimson Flames: Eom Keon-Woong (PG), Daisuke Takayama (SG), Naoyuki Taneda (SF), Shigeru Kojima (PF) and Hirotaka Ōno (C)

Reiji passes the ball to Hideo. Hideo would battle against Naoyuki Taneda.

“This is not good. It’s a disadvantage between the Burnt Leaf and the Crimson Flames” said Elmenhilde.

“Yeah, Naoyuki is a small forward and a defensive specialist. He can pull the jump shots with his own aura and I believe that he’s very good in guarding his opponents in the court” said Yuto.

“I hope that Issei is ready to take the A-game against the Crimson Flames” said Koneko.

“Yeah” said Elmenhilde and Yuto.

Hideo tries his best to perform his moves, but Naoyuki is so strong on defense. Naoyuki would set a trap on Hideo before stealing the ball from the hands of Hideo.

“Oh no! He snatches it!” said Ravel.

Naoyuki passes the ball to Daisuke, Daisuke drives past Kenta and then, Reiji intercepts it.

“Here comes Reiji!” said Asami.

Reiji tries to stop Daisuke from shooting the ball, but Daisuke proves too much for Reiji. Daisuke shoots the ball with the fadeaway jumper, but the ball bounces off from the rim.

“He misses it!” said Matsuda.

“Now’s our chance!” said Motohama.

Matsuda and Motohama battle in, trying to get the rebound. Matsuda would get the rebound and passes the ball to Motohama.

“Thanks, Matsuda!” said Motohama.

Motohama would battle against Hirotaka. Motohama finally uses his speed to drive past Hirotaka before shooting the ball with the windmill dunk. Motohama’s shot is good and gives the Burnt Leaf their first two points. [Burnt Leaf 2, Crimson Flames 0]

“Alright!” said Murayama.

“The perverts start working together!” said Katase.

“Yep. It looks like the boys are about to cool off the Crimson Flames” said Aika Kiryuu.

Naoyuki dribbles the ball and battles against Hideo. Naoyuki drives past Hideo with his speed and then, he would do the same thing to Kenta. Reiji would stop Naoyuki and the two battle each other using their pivots.

When Naoyuki and Reiji reaches the paint, Naoyuki tries to shoot the ball with the layup, but Reiji easily blocks the shot.

“Nice block, Reiji!” said Kenta.

“Way to go, Reiji! Now, I’ll get the ball!” said Hideo. Hideo would manage to get the ball and run through the other side of the court. Hideo passes the ball to Reiji before Reiji drives past Keon-Woong and Daisuke.

“Now, it’s time to blaze it up like Issei said!” said Reiji as he performs the layup. The shot is good, adding another two points for the Burnt Leaf [Burnt Leaf 4, Crimson Flames 0]

Naoyuki pumps up after his team get trailed by four points. The Crimson Flames didn’t score a single point after two minutes. “That’s it! Reiji, I’m going to show you what the real Torch Bearer is all about!”

Naoyuki gets the ball from Keon-Woong and starts using his own acceleration when he is ready to show Reiji what the Torch Bearer is all about. Naoyuki drives past Hideo, which makes the members of the Burnt Leaf surprised.

“What does that move?” asked Motohama.

“I don’t know, Motohama, but he’s now onto you. Stop him!” said Matsuda.

“Okay!” said Motohama. However, Naoyuki drives past Motohama. Motohama sees the red eyes of Naoyuki before witnessing Naoyuki in the paint. Naoyuki shoots the ball with the jump shot. The ball drives to the basket and the Crimson Flames are starting to incinerate the dominance of the Burnt Leaf. [Burnt Leaf 4, Crimson Flames 2]

“Unbelievable! Did you see what Naoyuki did to Motohama?” said Murayama.

“He drives past with his blazing aura” said Katase.

“Yeah, but it looks like he had a special move known as the Arousing Blazer” said Murayama.

“The Arousing Blazer? I think he’s very good in acceleration unlike Reiji. Don’t you think?” said Katase.

“You’re right, Katase. When Naoyuki starts to glow his aura in order to start using that move, his acceleration goes up as he goes faster to drive past any opponent he is facing. Also, when he is shooting the ball with the jump shot, the Arousing Blazer had been activated to make his shots faster than just a normal shot” said Murayama.

“I never thought how Naoyuki performed that move, but his aura is glowing by the time he finally put the shot in the basket” said Katase.

“Yes, indeed” said Murayama.

Reiji looks at Naoyuki, who is defiant when he is performing his special move. “That guy is so strong. No one has ever stopped that guy even he’s not in the varsity. I can feel the intense right here because this is not going to be complicated to watch out, but I’m sure that my boys are coming at him.”

The montage shows the showdown between the Burnt Leaf and the Crimson Flames. Reiji successfully does the fake against Keon-Woong before shooting the ball with the mid-range jump shot. Then, Daisuke passes the ball to Shigeru and Shigeru shoots the ball with the double clutch, adding two more points for the Crimson Flames. Motohama would cool off the defense of the Crimson Flames when he uses his drive to drive past Shigeru before doing the between the legs dunk over Naoyuki.

“Motohama performs the windmill dunk!” said Ravel.

“Looks like the perverts are helping Reiji to score more points” said Gasper.

Koneko smiles shyly after looking at Motohama and Matsuda. “You’re right, Issei. I believe that the two boys are doing the easy way. I won’t be thrilled if they’re not in the same page.”

The score is now 8 to 4 for the Burnt Leaf. Only 13 points left to win the match for the Burnt Leaf and things have been doing well.

Matsuda would run from his defensive area when Shigeru is about to shoot the ball with the jump shot. “It’s not on my house, jerk!” Matsuda successfully blocks Shigeru’s shot before Keon-Woong.

“That guy caught the ball! Stop him!” said Kenta.

“Okay!” said Motohama and Matsuda.

Keon-Woong would shoot the ball with the hook shot, but the shot is missed. Motohama grabs the ball for a rebound and passes the ball to Matsuda.

“Great job, boys! Now, keep it up!” said Issei. Motohama and Matsuda smile to Issei before heading to their court.

Matsuda passes the ball to Hideo, who battles against Naoyuki.

“So, you’re not giving up yet? Okay, then, there’s no time for fun! I’ll show you how it’s done!” said Naoyuki.

“You think so?” asked Reiji.

Hideo would start performing the crossover moves before he is doing the spin move. Hideo uses his pivot while performing the spin move to move away from Naoyuki.

“Darn it! This guy’s fast!” said Naoyuki.

“Ha! Who’s the Running Guy now?” said Hideo. Hideo would shoot the ball with the spin shot, but the shot is missed. Hideo was surprised after the ball bounced off from the backboard. “What the? It didn’t work?!”

Kenta grabs the ball, preventing a tussle with Daisuke, and passes the ball to Motohama.

“Now, that’s what you’re gonna do when you’ll see the light of success!” said Reiji.

Motohama performs the in and out dribble on Shigeru before driving past Shigeru. Motohama shoots the ball with the double clutch, however, Naoyuki blocks the shot.

“Nuh-uh! Not today!” said Naoyuki.

“Damn!” said Matsuda.

“You gotta be kidding me?!” said Issei.

The ball would land on the hands of Daisuke however Daisuke makes a mistake. Daisuke tries to pass the ball to Hirotaka, but Hideo steals the ball. Hideo grabs the ball, but in a few minutes, passes the ball to Reiji.

“Alright! Hideo had a great resiliency in getting the ball back!” said Kuroka.

“He can’t give up now!” said Le Fay.

Reiji would perform the behind the back move before performing the spin move. When Reiji is about shoot the ball, Keon-Woong is about to block Reiji’s shot, but Reiji performs the fake.

“Whoa! Reiji is seemed to be confident with his amazing performance in the last minutes!” said Akeno.

“I believe that this guy had a great strength, allowing him to use advanced moves against his opponents in the court” said Rias.

“I agree, Akeno and Rias. This first year high school students shows no mercy against Naoyuki and his opponents, but he’s not going to be surprised if he sees the eyes of his opponent” said Yuto.

“Right, Yuto. I’m sure that Reiji is going to join the boys’ basketball team” said Rias.

Reiji would battle against Naoyuki where they use their movements in the key before they go to the mid-range area. Reiji would use his drive to drive past Naoyuki before his aura appears to increase the impact of shooting the ball.

“Oh, I can’t believe it! Here comes the Blue Delta!” said Asia.

“It’s Reiji’s signature move with his high shooting accuracy and it’s a variant of a jump stop layup! He can put the ball into the basket with his auras energizing him with his speed!” said Xenovia.

“Yeah! I think we’re about to witness that move!” said Asia.

Reiji releases the ball with the Blue Delta and the ball drives to the basket. This would add two points for the Burnt Leaf. [Burnt Leaf 10, Crimson Flames 4]

The audience in the basketball court are amazed to witness Reiji’s special move. Reiji’s special move is considered sacred because he came from the Minagawa-Matsutomo clan.

Reiji shows his aura on his body and looks like he’s ready to pump up, but he’s worrying about Naoyuki. “Naoyuki-san, you seemed to be cold. Aren’t you?”

“I’m not cold, Reiji, and that move is something intriguing to me. Where the hell did you teach that move?” said Naoyuki.

“I’m a member of the Minagawa-Matsutomo clan and I learned that move to my relative of mine, Hideki Nagaichi. He’s a retired basketball player who had been playing in the local league in Tokyo” said Reiji.

“What makes you special, Reiji? And when did you learned that move?” asked Naoyuki.

“I learned that move right during my first year in middle school where I lead my middle school team to the quarterfinals three times in a row. I always work on this day and night and I want to use that move to show what the best player in Edogawa do in Kikuchiba when I’m going to join the basketball team!” said Reiji.

“I see. Is that what you want to prove me, Reiji?” said Naoyuki.

“Yes, Naoyuki. I’m a fearless member of my clan and I will blaze it up once you feel the wrath of me!” said Reiji.

“Well, then, I’ll challenge you, Reiji! Let’s see who proves best between the two of us! I will not lose this match with the likes of you! You’ll be finished at the end of the match!” said Naoyuki.

“Ah, okay. So, you’re challenging me, huh?” said Reiji.

“Yep. So, do you accept my challenge?” said Naoyuki.

“You bet, Naoyuki!” said Reiji. The members of the Burnt Leaf gasp after hearing what Reiji said. Reiji’s eyes are burning with his own fighting spirit. “No matter what you’re gonna do to prove me out, I’ll defeat you!”

“Okay, bring it on!” said Naoyuki.

“Yeah!” said Reiji.

The showdown between Naoyuki and Reiji starts with Naoyuki prepares to dribble the ball for his team’s possession. Naoyuki battles against Reiji with both auras clashing each other. Naoyuki proves too much for Reiji as he drives past Reiji and perfuming the Arousing Blazer. Naoyuki trims the lead of Reiji to 4 with the score of 10 to 6.

Hideo passes the ball to Motohama and then, Motohama performs the drive as he drives past Shigeru. Motohama passes the ball to Reiji when both switch their places. Reiji shoots the ball with the layup and the shot is good.

Keon-Woong uses the acceleration drive, allowing him to enter to the zone. Keon-Woong would battle against Reiji in the zone and then, they clash each other. Keon-Woong calls for pick and roll where he and Naoyuki try to set a trap on Reiji. Keon-Woong goes for the drive before passing the ball to Naoyuki and Naoyuki performs another shot of Arousing Blazer. Things are now even with Reiji still leads the game by 4.

Reiji gets the ball after Kenta drives past Daisuke. Reiji performs the crossover move and then, the spin move on Keon-Woong before he is about to shoot the ball with the floater. Naoyuki tries to block Reiji’s shot, but Reiji goes for the fake and shoots the ball with the layup.

Reiji calls his team for defense when the Crimson Flames are on offense. Keon-Woong passes the ball to Hirotaka. Hirotaka would be guarded by the two perverts.

“Time’s up, big guy!” said Motohama.

“There’s no way to move!” said Matsuda.

Hirotaka growls before he sees Naoyuki in an open spot. Hirotaka passes the ball to Naoyuki, but Reiji steals the ball by tipping it.

Reiji would run faster and shoot the ball with the Blue Delta. The Burnt Leaf is now led by 8 with the score of 16 to 8. The members of the Burnt Leaf are cheering for Reiji and his teammates.

Naoyuki would drive past Hideo and Kenta before he is going to land a three-point shot. Reiji tries to block the shot, but Naoyuki uses the spin move before releasing the ball for the three-point shot. The ball drives to the basket and the Crimson Flames make its first three-point shot. The score is now 16 to 11.

“Oh, my goodness! Naoyuki is doing a three-point shot!” said Ravel.

“That means, the Crimson Flames are about catch up with our players, trying to score as many points as they can!” said Koneko.

“Yeah, this is not going to be good for our players, but I hope that Reiji and his teammates need to overcome this” said Kuroka.

“I hope so, Kuroka” said Ravel while Koneko nods calmly.

Hideo passes the ball to Reiji, who would be met by Naoyuki. Naoyuki tries to steal the ball when Reiji is holding the ball, however, he fails to do so. Reiji is an expert on fakes and he decides to do the spin move on his opponents, so that his resiliency increases. Reiji would shoot the ball with the jump shot and the ball drives to the basket.

“Reiji needs to win this match for his team by shooting a three-point shot” said Issei.

“Yeah. That would be our hope to make this happen, but I’m worrying about our opponents, the Crimson Flames” said Irina.

“Why?” asked Issei.

“Because look at this” said Irina. Issei looks at the players and gasps when Naoyuki is about to shoot the ball away from the three-point line.

“You gotta be kidding me?! Is he going to perform the long three-point shot?” said Issei.

“I think he will, Issei” said Irina.

Naoyuki shoots the ball with the long three-point shot after stepping back twice and the ball drives to the basket, which cuts the lead of the Burnt Leaf to 4. [Burnt Leaf 18, Crimson Flames 14]

The members of the Crimson Flames are cheering for Naoyuki and his teammates, which worries Issei.

“Come on, boys. Don’t give up! We still have our chance to win the match” said Issei.

Reiji is now holding the ball and is confronted by Keon-Woong and Daisuke.

“Ah, crap!” said Reiji.

“Reiji is being guarded by the two players!” said Elmenhilde.

“Come on, Reiji. You can do it. I hope that you won’t lose your energy” said Irina.

Reiji would step back, emulating it from Naoyuki. Once he is out of the three-point line, he’s going for the spin move against Keon-Woong and Daisuke.

Reiji would battle against Naoyuki in the perimeter where they use their moves from left to right.

“I’m going to stop you now!” said Naoyuki. As Naoyuki tries to steal the ball, Reiji performs the fake. “What?! He just fakes his shot?! You’re kidding?!”

“Checkmate, Naoyuki! It’s all over!” said Reiji. Reiji steps back and goes outside the three-point line. Reiji performs the ankle breaking move, which makes Naoyuki falls to the ground.

The members of the Crimson Flames gasp in horror after seeing their leader, Naoyuki Taneda, stumbled to the ground.

“Did our leader lose balance and stumble to the ground?” asked Huang Zhelin.

“I have no idea what happened to him” said Chitose Arakawa.

“I’ll say that Naoyuki had failed to stop Reiji because Reiji knows how he wants to prove himself to be part of the basketball team. I want to see him wearing in a jersey when he’s stepping into the game” said Risa Hinode.

Reiji shoots the ball with the three-point shot and the ball drives to the basket. The match is over and the Burnt Leaf defeated the Crimson Flames, 21-14.

“Game over! The Burnt Leaf had won the match!” said Yuto.

The members of the Burnt Leaf have celebrated their victory with Issei and Reiji give each other’s high five. They were flanked by their fellow groupmates.

Later, after the match, Issei, Reiji and Naoyuki talk each other while viewing the sky at night. The members of the Burnt Leaf and the Crimson Flames are also enjoyed viewing the night.

“I can’t believe that you are an amazing player! I can’t believe that you beat me fair and square! How long you do that move?” said Naoyuki.

“Well, it’s my own trick aside from being good in good in using jab steps and pump fakes. I always play basketball at night with my colleagues. Right now, I’m happy with my new friends right here!” said Reiji. Reiji and Issei were smiling to Naoyuki.

Naoyuki smiles to Reiji and Issei. “Then, I believe that you have great roots in trying your best to join the boys’ basketball team. You deserve it with your own opportunity. I can’t be mad after the match, but I know that you’re ready to step in to the next level.”

“Actually, it’s a lot of fun to play with you. Right, Issei?” said Reiji.

“Yeah! When I played basketball the first time, I thought that I would lose a match, but I made the right move to shoot the ball. It’s my experience to play basketball in Kuoh before I enter the Occult Research Club. I’m so excited that you played basketball just like me!” said Issei.

“Thanks, Issei. You’re a great guy who had been dating many girls in your peerage” said Naoyuki.

“Don’t mention it, Naoyuki! So, how do you feel after you played?” said Issei.

“I’m originally shocked when I saw Reiji’s moves. It’s just like he’s about to become a basketball superstar in the future” said Naoyuki.

“Oh, basketball superstars are very popular with the use of basketball moves like the dunk and the three-point shot. I’m sure you already have experience in playing basketball since your team had competed last year” said Issei.

“Yeah, I agree. Oh, that reminds me, I want you to get this gift from us” said Naoyuki. Naoyuki and his friends have brought a birthday gift and gave it to Issei.

“Oh, thank you very much, Naoyuki! You’re such a great friend of mine!” said Issei. Issei would unwrap the gift and Issei’s gift is a pendant. “Wow!”

“What do you think? That’s your good luck charm. It’s a pendant” said Naoyuki.

“A pendant! I can’t believe that it’s so charming and adorable!’ said Issei.

“Well, put it on your neck and see how great you are” said Naoyuki.

“Okay!” said Issei as Issei wears the pendant on his neck and likes it. “Oh, goody! It fits on my neck! I can’t believe that this precious gift was so beautiful! Thank you very much for this gift!”

“You’re welcome!” said Naoyuki. “One more thing, are you ready to join our team?”

“You bet, Naoyuki!” said Issei. Issei and Naoyuki hug each other, much to the delight of the members of the Burnt Leaf and the Crimson Flames.

“Issei! It’s time to blow your birthday cake!” said Rias.

“Okay, Rias!” said Issei.

Issei, Rias, the members of the Burnt Leaf and the guests are present at the dining area where all are singing “Happy Birthday” to Issei.

Everyone sings the last line of the song. “Happy birthday to you!”

“Issei, make a wish. It’s your time to say something for us” said Rias.

“Okay” said Issei. Issei closes his eyes before starting to say to his friends. “I wish that I will be a great man with my wife, Rias, and my whole friends around me. I wish that I will be more responsible and be brave to overcome my weaknesses. And lastly, I wish that I will succeed in leading the Kikuchiba Academy High School boys’ basketball team to the championship. That’s all for my wishes and I hope that everything will come true.” Issei finishes saying his wish before blowing the candles.

Everyone shouts together to Issei. “Happy birthday, Issei!” Issei is flanked by Rias and everyone in his side as Issei finally begins his new life.

After this, Issei cuts the piece of the birthday cake and gives it to Rias.

“Thank you, Issei” said Rias.

Then, Issei cuts the pieces of the birthday cake and gives those to his friends from the Occult Research Club and the Kikuchiba Academy. At the living room, the guests are eating the piece of the birthday cake on the plate.

The members of the Burnt Leaf are enjoyed the night with Issei while eating the birthday cake.

“Thank you so much for organizing my birthday party. You’re all good organizers to me” said Issei.

“You said it, Issei. We’re always getting along with you to develop our relationship. It’s always a pleasure to show your gratitude and smile” said Rias.

“Ara, ara, I look at your appearance and you’re so handsome when you’re about to be surprised by us” said Akeno.

“It feels like everyone is happy with your gratitude and I can’t wait to see more surprises someday” said Asia.

“There’s one thing that you have to keep it for yourself is your greatest gift. That’s why I want this gift for you, Issei” said Irina.

“Uh, what’s this?” asked Issei.

“It’s a birthday gift from us, the Occult Research Club” said Koneko.

“And also, the Burnt Leaf” said Hideo Suginami.

Issei smiles to his friends before opening the special gift. The special gift was revealed to be a brand new crimson-colored T-shirt. “Wow! I can’t believe that I never wear that shirt before.”

“That’s right, Issei. It’s your new life to wear this because I modified that shirt, combining the school uniform and a special cloth that is focused on the color, crimson” said Yuto.

“To clarify this, this is all about you. You respect me, you respect my friends and your respect everyone, Issei. You did it for us because you trust each and every one of these people around you. That means, they believe in you” said Koneko.

“The charisma can help you to grow your reputation to become the Harem King. I think you should remember everything from the beginning up to today because I finally admire you” said Rossweisse.

“There will be no more troubles in our family as in your life will live longer with us!” said Gasper.

“When you said that you want to become the Harem King, I believe that you will be ready to reach your new heights after you and Rias are engaged” said Ravel.

“In a few days, you will start being determined and humbled because your time has come to enter the boys’ basketball team as the manager” said Xenovia.

“Helping your team with your charm will increase your relationship with them. Just like my sister Koneko said, you trust them because they believe that you’re brave to defend everyone in our community” said Kuroka.

“I would be delighted if you will be helping us in making more friends in Kikuchiba. That way, the internship will be successful as soon as we’re going to work together” said Le Fay.

“A smile in the face can express your admiration and desire. I believe that you will be more vigilant and more determined when we’re all going together” said Elmenhilde.

“As soon as we’re going to keep the core together, I believe that you will be carefree and calm” said Katase.

“Since you’re eighteen years old, I think you’re ready to take your lustful enjoyment and delightfulness because you’re admired to the girls like me” said Minami Murayama.

“A lot of things you have to remember, Issei. Believe in yourself will give you more blessings and you will have more charms in the future” said Aika Kiryuu.

“If the two of us are ready to join the basketball team, I can’t wait to be thrilled as long as this team likes us” said Motohama.

“If you will be able to work everything just for you, you have to make it with your heart and soul, Issei” said Matsuda.

“I hope that you’ll be able to graduate in Kikuchiba next year and accomplish your internship” said Asami Shimizu.

“Yeah, I agree, Asami. After that, my friends and I are planning to go back to Kurenai once the internship is over. I believe that working at the Kuoh Academy would be the best bet for us to study” said Issei.

“Hmm, good for you and your team. For us, we would be ready to enroll in the college level of the Kikuchiba Academy as long as we’re going to graduate with flying colors” said Kozue Murayama.

“Issei, I hope that you’ll be able to prepare yourselves for the club registration week. Once I go there, I will be the first guy to sign up” said Reiji.

“Hey, Reiji-san! We would rather go first!” said Motohama while pointing at Reiji.

“Yeah! We would never be last in the line as soon as you’re the good guy” said Matsuda.

“Okay, I know that you’re persuading me to be first, but I will think about that” said Reiji.

“Everyone, it’s been an honor to thank you for helping me contemplating my future. As soon as we’re going bring back the ORC together, this time in Kikuchiba, it’s time to move on to our next journey!” said Issei.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Burnt Leaf. It was a magnificent night to celebrate Issei’s birthday and everyone had helped Issei in contemplating his future. It’s also a sign that the Burnt Leaf had encountered many friends since their first day in the Kikuchiba Academy. When the Burnt Leaf will about to re-establish the Occult Research Club during the club registration week of the Kikuchiba Academy, this will be the dawning of a new era for them and hopefully, they will explore some secrets throughout the school year.

UP NEXT: Chapter 87: “The Three Camellias with Two Colors”

This special chapter makes me special about Issei Hyodo because he’s one of my favorite male anime characters that he is more passionate and braver as he wants to be the Harem King. I will be planning to post more chapters focused on the characters of High School DxD in the future as long as I have many things to contemplate. I apologize for the names of the new characters, mostly from the Crimson Flames-Kikuchiba, because I'm new to the use of Chinese and Korean names. I’ll get more into those in the future chapters as the journey of Issei Hyodo and his lovely ladies in the human world continues in the next updates. Now, on the next chapter, a big group will be arriving as they are invited by the Bravehearts to get along with them and the New Camellian Dragons. It will be a prelude before the meeting of the Bravehearts and Jun’s Angels, which will be posted next week. So, I’ll see you on October 14 (Sunday) for the next update!

 

[Sherwin Riga]

From this chapter until Chapter 90, it will be more focused on Jun’s Angels where they will permanently change their home from the Little Wing Orphanage to the Nukui Residence, which is located a few miles away from its original headquarters of Lien de Famille. the Little Wing Orphanage. As this chapter will be the prelude to the meeting, the next update will be an important chapter that Jun and her friends are about to make a bigger announcement to the Bravehearts and the Family of Angels. Now, for tonight’s update, it will be four new groups that are invited by the New Camellian Dragons to enjoy their fun with the Bravehearts and its allies. So, without further ado, here’s the new update of Volume 6 where the Bravehearts are having a busy day with the New Camellian Dragons and their friends at the Misawa Resort Hotel before the Bravehearts and the Family of Angels will have a meeting at the mansion. Enjoy reading Chapter 87!:)

The Bravehearts and the New Camellian Dragons have spent time with their sleepover activity last night. The next day, they would be invited by a bigger group known as the Sagi-ume. The Sagi-ume is a group of students who were friends of Shimako Tagami, Yasushi Shionji and Hinata Kiyama and they were more like a family like the Bravehearts. The three groups that are coming from the Sagi-ume are the Five Arrows of Ume, The Shield of Sagisō and the Unburden Purple Nightingale. The Sagi-ume is led by co-leaders Ruri Shimizu, Mika Okazaki and Taketoshi Sawamatsu. On the other hand, Teruko Sugiyama had formed a group of friends of their own, representing the friends of the New Camellian Dragons-Shiromidai Chapter. The name of the group was the Miracle Two Shiromidai and its leader is Rie Satouchi. They would meet each other at the Recreational Center where the Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm are having a training to prepare for the Ōmori Invitationals. Tomoka and her friends don’t want to waste their time to prepare for the big meeting at the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel where Jun’s Angels will make a big announcement that will make things surprising for the Family of Angels.

VOLUME 6: “PRESTIGIOUS AND DETERMINATION”
CHAPTER 87: “THE THREE CAMELLIAS WITH TWO COLORS”​

“Last time, the New Camellian Dragons were invited for a sleepover at the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel and they have gone a great start by suggesting activities like the card game and the collage drawing. The leaders of the New Camellian Dragons, Hanako Itō and Teruko Sugiyama, have been pleased with the rooms they stayed after the members of the New Camellian Dragons have enjoyed themselves with their smile and peace. The group is expected to finish their stay later in the afternoon because they called their friends to organize a training for the members of Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm, who are confirmed to participate at the Ōmori Invitationals next week.” Tomoka narrates the introduction while the flashback shows the events happened in the previous chapter.

“Now, we’re hopefully going to see new groups that they’re called by the members of the New Camellian Dragons. When I talked to Mimi last night, Mimi said to me that Shimako Tagami, Yasushi Shionji and Hinata Kiyama have created their own groups that are composed of friends mostly from Kasuragi Elementary School. When those groups are going to arrive at the mansion later, we’re going to meet them at the same time. Also, the members of the New Camellian Dragons-Shiromidai have decided to call their friends as well to participate with their fellow schoolmates for today’s activity.” Michiko narrates where she and the Family of Angels are going to meet the friends of the New Camellian Dragons.

“While Shimako Tagami enrolled in Kasuragi Middle School, Yasushi, Hinata and Kana are still staying in Kasuragi Elementary School and I believe that they might follow Shimako next year to reunite each other. Hanako Itō and Yūto Iwase are also enrolled in Kasuragi Middle School to continue their basketball careers by joining the girls’ (Hanako) and boys’ (Yūto) basketball teams, respectively. Hanako and Yūto are close friends because they were together as neighbors. Hopefully, the friends of Hanako and Yūto will be here tomorrow if they will let their friends to visit the mansion for a fun Sunday. But for now, we’re going to focus on the members of the groups that the Family of Angels will meet today. Let’s make sure that we’ll make themselves comfortable and we’ll respect them as well. So, here’s how it happened.” Megumi finishes the introduction as she is the leader of the Family of Angels.

The next day, the members of the New Camellian Dragons are staying at the living room after they woke up together a few hours ago. Later, after they finished cooking, Sakura and Sora arrive shortly to call the members of the New Camellian Dragons to eat. “Everyone! Your breakfast is here!”

New Camellian Dragons-Kasuragi: Hanako Itō, Toshihiro Kanzaki, Chinami Itagaki, Ayaka Kutaragi, Momoe Nagashima, Shimako Tagami, Yūto Iwase, Erina Miyagi, Akane Takenaga, Keisuke Sato, Yasushi Shionji, Hinata Kiyama and Kana Kawasumi
New Camellian Dragons-Shiromidai: Teruko Sugiyama, Aya Masamune, Chinami Kasai, Mao Asakura, Yōko Owada, Setsuko Yoshimura, Minami Asagi, Naoki Takayama, Michiya Haketa and Ryūichi Ōsugi

“Okay!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

At the dining room, the members of the New Camellian Dragons eat their breakfast in one table.

Sakura and Sora look at the members of the New Camellian Dragons before asking them how the breakfast tastes like.

“Hey, everyone! What do you think?” said Sakura.

“Is the breakfast delicious?” asked Sora.

“Yeah!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

“It tastes good, Sora!” said Akane Takenaga.

“Yeah, it tastes delicious!” said Hanako Itō.

“I can’t believe that I tasted this kind of breakfast for the first time! I can’t be craved because I always eating breakfast at home!” said Yūto Iwase.

“I never tasted this type of breakfast before, but I like it!” said Setsuko Yoshimura.

“Wow! This breakfast is so delicious! My mother made this every day before I go to school!” said Yōko Owada.

“I’m sure you made a great breakfast, Sakura! It seems that I’m feeling good with my stomach now!” said Naoki Takayama.

Sakura smiles to the members of the New Camellian Dragons. “I hope that you’re all done with your breakfast after you ate the last bite. I think you’ll all know that I’m good in picking a selection of different foods that you like. I’m also interested in cooking fish because I like to catch a large fish that is prestigious! Do you want to let me cook a large fish?”

“Yeah!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

“It seems that they’re delighted to catch a fish, Sakura! I think they’re impressing you” said Sora.

“Eh, yeah, I guess I should try it, Sora” said Sakura. Sakura would talk to the members of the New Camellian Dragons. “Alright, everyone! I will cook a large fish for you later! For now, I hope that you’ll make sure comfortable at the mansion and have fun staying in this place!”

“Okay!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

“So, where are your friends? Did you invite them to the mansion?” asked Sakura.

“Right now, they’re going to visit the mansion later by eleven” said Shimako Tagami.

“Our group will be coming once their members are given their permission to their parents” said Yasushi Shionji.

“I called my friends earlier and they said that they’re expecting to arrive at the mansion as soon as possible. I’m sure that they’re all ready to help the members of the Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm to train for the Ōmori Invitationals” said Hinata Kiyama.

“It’s not going to be an easy tournament to participate because most of the teams will be coming from Ōmori and its neighboring areas” said Kana Kawasumi.

“Okay, I’m expecting to see them later on. I’m sure the Family of Angels and Team Aurora will be also collaborating with them to make the training more intense just like the Nashiba High School boys’ basketball team did a few weeks ago” said Sora.

“That’s right, Sora! I can’t wait to see how they are going to train the members of the Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm with their talented skills and attributes. Maybe, you can join with them if you like” said Sakura.

“Well, you’re right, Sakura. I think the New Camellian Dragons should be responsible in helping the members of the Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm because they should be more prepared to compete against teams like Ōmori United and Team Mizusaki” said Hanako.

“Okay, Hanako! I think we should all be ready to help them because at the end of the day, they will get more energy, so that they will dominate the tournament to victory” said Sakura.

“Of course, Sakura! So, are we ready for today’s activity?” said Hanako.

“Yeah!” said Sakura, Sora and the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

“Then, let’s go outside and play together before our friends arrive!” said Hanako.

“Okay!” said Sakura, Sora and the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

Tomoka, Mimi, Jun, Sora, Kyō, Sakura, Kōme and the members of the Family of Angels, Team Aurora, New Camellian Dragons would play together at the Basketball Court #1 of the Misawa Resort Hotel. An exhibition match between the Family of Angels and the New Camellian Dragons takes place in that area while Team Aurora is assigned to train the members of the Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm at the Recreational Center.

Family of Angels: Nami Takashirō (PG), Michiko Takeda (SG), Akiko Miyazaki (SF), Kozue Hanabusa (PF), Asami Nakagawa (C)
New Camellian Dragons: Chinami Itagaki (PG), Shimako Tagami (SG), Hanako Itō (SF), Momoe Nagashima (PF), Ayaka Kutaragi (C)

Michiko clashes against Shimako as she uses her combined dribbling moves before she uses the spin move. Michiko passes the ball to Akiko, who drives past Hanako and goes for the jump shot in the paint. Akiko’s shot is good, which gives the Family of Angels their first two points.

Later, both Family of Angels and New Camellian Dragons are battling for the ball while scoring as many points as they can. Tomoka, Megumi and Jun are observing the players of the Family of Angels, who are shining in the game against the New Camellian Dragons.

“Our girls are looking great with their talents getting paid off! Their versatile plays are proved to be completive!” said Tomoka.

“Yeah, that’s true, Tomoka. Michiko had never looked back when she does the hesitation move because Michiko’s Miracle Run is more accurate than the other fast-paced moves which are focused on speed and acceleration. Michiko is the top shooting guard that has a high speed. She can’t miss her shots when she’s always in the corner or in the paint” said Megumi.

“If Michiko does the performance for shooting, Akiko and Kozue are very good in defense. Akiko and Kozue have the capabilities of getting rebounds against different teams. With the high flexibility of Akiko and Kozue, they can go for the rebound in order to get more hustle as a result of their empathetic plans made by Michiko. During the Hasegawa Cup, Akiko and Kazue are very cautious to their opponents even facing with the likes of Mimi and Tsubaki. Akiko could go for the jump shot while Kozue goes for the pull-up jump shot. Their shooting and defense are matched with Michiko’s which allow them to use a possible Complete Synchronization Skill” said Jun.

“That’s why I believe in Michiko ever since she becomes the captain of the Shiromidai Elementary School girls’ basketball team and Michiko is the only friend that I don’t want to lose for her charisma and humbleness” said Tomoka.

“Of course, Tomoka. Michiko doesn’t want to lose you because she’s already doing her own role after you and Michiko were reconciled last month. Did you allow Michiko to visit the mansion every weekend?” said Megumi.

“Yeah. I want Michiko to be with us only for the weekends because she’s very interested in getting along with me when the Family of Angels are going to have a fun activity for the weekends. I’m sure Michiko will be moving to the mansion by summer and I want to expect her potential to be higher” said Tomoka.

“I’m seconding this because the Family of Angels should be more connected to each other even the members of our group live in different areas, mostly in Kamata. I don’t know if me, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura are either going to move our home to the Nukui Residence, stay at the Little Wing or get along with you at the mansion” said Jun.

“Well, Jun, it depends on you and your friends to decide because Masayoshi wants to hear your decision whether you will stay in the mansion or not, but you know what, I’m going to respect with your decision you want to say” said Tomoka.

“Okay, Tomoka. I’m happy to hear your support and hopefully, our group will be permanently staying at this place for a long time!” said Jun.

“Yeah!” said Tomoka.

“I should expect to hear from Team Eromanga because they might end up staying at Shimomaruko, but they will visit to our place by the weekends” said Megumi.

“I agree with that, Megumi” said Tomoka.

“Looks like our team is gaining the advantage in stopping the New Camellian Dragons!” said Jun.

“Wow! It looks like Michiko and Akiko are working together to stop the versality efforts of Chinami, Hanako and Ayaka” said Megumi.

“Oh, yeah! I guess Michiko and Akiko are doing the right way! Great effort, girls!” said Tomoka.

Michiko and Akiko smiles after they perform the one-and-two punch performance. The score is now 19 to 12 with the Family of Angels are leading the match.

Meanwhile, at the Recreational Center, the members of Team Aurora are helping the members of the Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm to improve their skills and attributes. Hinata, Kagetsu, Erika, Naoki and Shun watch their friends training in the basketball court.

Hanako and Asumi instruct the girls of Innocent Charm to perform the shootaround activity where the girls will shoot the ball in different parts of the free-throw line. After most of the girls missed their shots in different directions, Asumi blows her whistle as a wake-up call for the girls of Innocent Charm. The girls of Innocent Charm are determined to fellow Hanako and Asumi’s orders.

“Girls! I want you to shoot the ball as fast as you can!” said Hanako.

“Yeah! I want you to have your energy to power up!” said Asumi.

“Yeah!” said the girls of Innocent Charm.

“Okay, then, let’s restart the activity!” said Hanako.

“Okay!” said the girls of Innocent Charm.

The girls of Innocent Charm start the shootaround activity where they use the speed and acceleration to increase their running before shooting the ball in different directions. Hanako believes the girls of the Innocent Charm are improving their shooting skills after their shots are good.

“That’s it! Very good! Now, keep it up!” said Hanako. Asumi smiles after the girls of Innocent Charm didn’t give up their energy to work on improving their shooting skills. Later, the girls of Innocent Charm use their special talents during the scrimmage between the boys and the girls of the Innocent Charm.

Kira shoots the ball with the Triumphant Majestic Shot in the corner after using the eurostep move. Then, Ryōta drives past Kira and Rei before shooting the ball with the Chromatic Current. Ai performs the no look pass and Misaki gets the ball before dunks the ball.

Yoshistugu and Rei would battle each other where Yoshitsugu performs the behind the back move and passes drive past Rei. Yoshitsugu shoots the ball with the hook shot but was blocked by Misaki. Misaki would use her strength to shoot the ball with the double clutch shot. In response, Kazuya Uehara goes for the alley-oop pass, allowing Ryōta to dunk the ball and shoot.

“Wow! A slamdunk!” said Junichi Morizawa.

“I can’t believe that Ryōta is a machine! He’s a surge shooter with his speed being increased, thanks to his vital training alongside the members of the Winding Current” said Sōichi Aoyama.

“I don’t know what happed to Ryōta a few days ago even he is going home lately about ten or eleven in the evening. I’m surprised that Ryōta is improving his speed since he joined with Natsuhi at the mansion. I believe that both of them may end up reconnecting with each other by performing their action-packed moves in the court” said Jūbei Koga.

“There’s a difference between Ryōta’s interests in his teammates from the elementary school boys’ basketball team and his interests in his own group. Ryōta had been friends with Natsuhi when both of them became teammates during their fifth grade. However, Ryōta lost his position in the starting lineup after Natsuhi becomes the leading guy, which makes Ryōta being jealous of Natsuhi. On the other hand, Ryōta had been friends with Kiyoshi and Wataru when they’re classmates last year. Now, with the formation of the Pink Nobles, Ryōta wants to represent his own team to compete in the Ōmori Invitationals and a possible final matchup between the Pink Nobles and the Innocent Charm may happen if both sides will make it to the final” said Yurika Hashida.

“It’s true that Ryōta is trying his best to take the spot as the best player against Natsuhi when both of them are going to enter the middle school boys’ basketball team. Ryōta won’t lose his motivation, thanks to his own charisma and determination” said Eriko Takao.

“I’m fine with Ryōta’s status in trying to become a member of the Keishin Academy Middle School boys’ basketball team because Ryōta should be more serious with his own goals he takes. Currently, it’s uncertain to hear Ryōta’s answer if he will be ready to join the varsity team because unlike Natsuhi and his companions, Ryōta should try his best in the tryout, which will be held by the end of the month, to show his special talent and skill” said Jun Akiyama.

“Ryōta came from Shinjuku and he’s very motivated to show his pride for Keishin and I’m optimistic to see Ryōta wearing the jersey uniform again if he can make it” said Yoko Shimizu.

“Yeah, I believe that in Keishin Academy Middle School boys’ basketball team, there are reserved team program where players who failed to become official members of the team would undergo that program for them to improve their skills and attributes and hopefully, they can join the varsity team someday” said Masanobu Yamada.

“Kazuko and Mizuki already intended to join the Keishin Academy Elementary School girls’ basketball team due to them being members of Ginga’s Pupils while none of our members have directly joined the boys’ basketball team since Naoki and the boys are excellent and very aspiring players with a lot of talents they have” said Kōsuke Minagawa.

“Yep. There are many shapes that changes everything to come and hopefully, we’ll be able to excel in academics as well as in joining the student council soon” said Kurumi Sato.

“Oh, that reminds me, Erika Satō reminded us about how her administration would be looked like” said Izumi Masuda.

“Well, it appears that the treasurer, the auditor, the public relations officer and the sergeant-at-arms are coming from our class. Their names are Miho Hikasa, Aoi Kayano, Kōji Yamasda and Asami Miyazaki. The other positions are held by fifth graders, but we don’t know who they are” said Sakiko Hasegawa.

“Yeah, I’m sure it’s going to be a big challenge for the Satō administration because like the other current administrations from different schools, the current staff members of the Satō administration are very polite and responsible for their progressive reforms in the school” said Mika Mizushima.

“Since Kazuko and Mizuki are also joining the staff as senior staff members, they will get their opportunities to contribute with the student council as soon as they will do late duties after the training. They are elected as president and vice president of the section 6-E” said Issei Uehara.

“Yeah, it’s true that we’re been loyal to Erika since we voted her as the president of the council. Of course, I decided to join the student council alongside my friends like Mizuki, Mimi, Kagetsu, Naoki, Shun and Rina” said Kazuko.

“Who is Rina?” asked Noriko Toyama.

“That is Rina Sugaya. She’s the current vice president of section 6-D and paired with Kagetsu, who was elected president. Mimi was included in Kagetsu’s ticket, which made her the secretary of the class” said Mizuki.

“Ah, I get it. So, that’s what the section 6-D looked like” said Ryōta Tsujimoto.

“Yep. It’s no different to look at our class officers because we’re very liberal and progressive as we supported the platform that Erika currently ran this year” said Kagetsu.

“And also, we’ve been planning in supporting the ideas of forming an extended group composed of two groups. That’s the Prestigious Charm and Team Aurora. In case you’re wondering, the warmer group have the most elected officials in different sections in the sixth grade. Hikaru Higuchi was invited to join the council as one of the disciplinary committee members because of her expressive and humble personality” said Erika.

“Oh, Hikaru is so cute, just like Sora Fukutomi. I believe that most of your supporters didn’t join the Bravehearts because they didn’t know about us before. On the other hand, The Wisteria Club and the Foul Play Crew usually support you in progressive reforms because they are favored in keeping the tradition of the school activities this year. The club registration week will be coming on Monday and hopefully, our friends will be able to find their new clubs this year” said Hinata.

“Yep! I’m glad that we’re going to start forming an extended group that we’re going to focus on keeping the neutrality between basketball and politics. Also, I informed the Keishin Academy Writers’ League Elementary School Division editor-in-chief Manami Ōguro that she’ll be joining the group, but to kept it as a secret” said Erika.

“That’s great news, Erika! Hopefully, we’re going to help the members to empower themselves for their future!” said Naoki.

“Yeah! That’s my dream plan, Naoki. I can’t lose that because I’m very respectful to everyone” said Erika.

“Erika, I’m so excited that you and your friends will be forming a group that we’ll empower themselves in the future!” said Shun.

“That’s right, Shun! I’m planning to merge the Prestigious and Team Aurora to form an extended group that will be composed of extended friends from the two groups, but we’ll keep our affiliation with the Bravehearts! Also, if the Dragons of Ōta will be revived soon, we want to be neutral because we’re doing our own traditions to make our group more focused on liberal and progressive policies” said Erika.

“Oh, I like that plan, Erika. I hope that you will be able to fulfill your dream plan into reality!” said Hinata.

“I will support your plan until you’re graduating next year. No matter what will happen to the Prestigious Charm, we’ll be ready for the future!” said Kagetsu.

“Thanks, Hinata and Kagetsu! There’s no doubt that we’ll keep our friendship together!” said Erika.

“Yeah!” said Hinata and Kagetsu.

“It looks like both sides are facing neck and neck to determine the winner of this match!” said Shun.

Hinata, Erika, Kagetsu and Shun look at the scoreboard. The score is tied at 30 with both teams score 30 points apiece. Naoki replies to Shun. “Oh, I can’t believe that you’re right, Shun.”

“Here comes Ryōta, girls!” said Miho Hikasa.

Ryōta would drive past Kira before shoots the ball with the double clutch. The ball would drive to the basket and the score is now 32 to 30 for the boys of Innocent Charm. The time is now only 11 seconds remaining.

“He’s on fire! I can’t believe it before our very eyes!” said Chiwa Furukawa.

“Yeah, Ryōta can’t deny losing the match without the last shot!” said Miho Hikasa.

“I hope Ryōta will be joining the middle school boys’ basketball team very soon. If he does, he’s ready to play a few minutes before heading to the top” said Kazumi Togashi.

“I agree with that, Kazumi. It’s not going to be a big difference between him and his teammates because Ryōta is very determined to join the tryout this year whilst Natsuhi is already joining the middle school boys’ basketball team. Natsuhi and Ryōta have been worked together a few days ago and I hope that Ryōta will be able to use his special moves to stop his opponents in the upcoming Ōmori Invitationals” said Asuka Ōshiro.

“Determined to be the best in Ōta, Ryōta is ready to take action soon in the next tournament when our group, the Innocent Charm and the Pink Nobles will be competing next week in the Ōmori Invitationals. Right, girls?” said Aoi Kayano.

“Yeah!” said Chiwa, Miho, Kazumi and Asuka.

Ai battles against Ryōta where both players use their moves before Ai passes the ball to Rei before Rei tries to shoot the ball with the jump shot, but as Yoshitsugu tries to block the shot, Rei performs the combined fake and pass. Kana gets the ball and shoots the ball with the three-point shot. The ball drives to the basket and the scrimmage is over with the girls defeated the boys by a point with the score 33-32.

Meanwhile, back at the Basketball Court #1, the Family of Angels defeated the New Camellian Dragons with the score of 50-49. The members of the Family of Angels and the New Camellian Dragons are exhausted after twenty-four minutes of their match. Then, a group of familiar faces arrive at the entrance of the Basketball Court #1 to meet the Bravehearts, the Family of Angels, Team Aurora and the New Camellian Dragons.

“Wow! You have a great potential with your solid performance against the Kasuragi Five.”

“What a nice match between the two groups with stronger players in the court.”

“I believe that you’re looking good with your performance against Michiko’s team, Hanako. Great match for the both of you!”

Hanako finally recognizes the group leaders of the three groups that are existed in the Kasuragi Elementary School. “Hey, I finally recognize them! These people are your friends!”

“Oh, you’re right, Hanako. I will meet them!” said Shimako. Hanako nods to accept Shimako’s approval before Shimako talks to Yasushi, Hinata Kiyama and Kana. “Let’s go!”

Yasushi, Hinata and Kana nod together before joining with Shimako to meet the leaders of the three groups.

The three groups are known as the Five Arrows of Ume, the Shield of Sagisō and the Unburden Purple Nightingale. The three groups are merged into a unified group known as the Three Camellias with Two Colors. The leader of the Five Arrows of Ume is Ruri Shimizu, the leader of the Shield of Sagisō is Mika Okazaki and the leader of the Unburden Purple Nightingale is Taketoshi Sawamatsu.

“Hi, everyone!” said Shimako.

“It’s so nice to see you that you’re all here!” said Yasushi.

“Well, where are they?” asked Ruri Shimizu.

“I will meet you some friends of ours right here” said Hinata Kiyama.

“Okay!” said Ruri, Mika and Taketoshi.

Shimako, Yasushi, Hinata Kiyama and Kana accompany Ruri, Mika and Taketoshi to their friends from the Family of Angels and the New Camellian Dragons.

Shimako introduces Ruri, Mika and Taketoshi to the Bravehearts and the Family of Angels. “Everyone! I want you to meet our friends of ours. These are Ruri Shimizu, Mika Okazaki and Taketoshi Sawamatsu.”

“Hi, everyone!” said Tomoka.

“Hi!” said Ruri, Mika and Taketoshi.

Part 2 will be on the next post.

Volume 6: "Prestigious and Determination" | Chapter 87: "The Three Camellias with Two Colors"

Part 2​

Yasushi explains the group the unified group, the Three Camellias with Two Colors. “As you can see, these three friends came from the group known as the Three Camellias with Two Colors, also known as Sagi-ume. The group is divided into three factions: the Five Arrows of Ume, led by Ruri Shimizu, the Shield of Sagisō, led by Mika Okazaki and the Unburden Purple Nightingale, led by Taketoshi Sawamatsu.”

“Sagi-ume comes for two words: sagi and ume. Sagi means heron while ume means purple. As a result, Sagi-ume means ‘purple herons’” said Shimako.

“The three groups have been friends with each other because the three of them were friends with the four of us as well as Hanako” said Hinata Kiyama.

“When Ruri announced that she will be transferring to Kasuragi Middle School, Ruri said that she’s planning to merge her group with the two groups that are very closed to her. So, as a result, the Three Camellias with Two Colors was born” said Kana.

“We use the two colors for our group, purple for the Five Arrows of Ume and the Unburden Purple Nightingale and red plum for the Shield of Sagisō. Although orange, the Kasuragi’s official color, was also used as a secondary color of the Shield of Sagisō, Taketoshi and I have decided to allow orange as the tertiary color of our group” said Ruri.

“While Ruri went to Kasuragi Middle School, the two of us are planning to enroll that school next year, so that we can reunite Ruri, but this time in middle school” said Mika.

“Right now, Sagi-ume is set to participate at the Ōmori Invitationals next week where I will be leading the boys’ team and Ruri will be leading the girls’ team” said Taketoshi.

“Oh, I see now. So, that means, your group had confirmed its participation for the Ōmori Invitationals?” said Megumi.

“Yep. It’s going to be our first time to participate at the Ōta League and it’s our opportunity to win the Ōmori Invitationals to qualify for the Ōta League Cup Youth Division next year” said Ruri.

“Where are your members of the group?” asked Michiko.

“They’re now training with your friends of yours. I believe that your friends came from the Bravehearts. Oh, what a coincidence that they’re also going to participate in the upcoming tournament as well!” said Mika.

“Well, the Bravehearts is divided into different groups. The two groups, who are set to participate at the Ōmori Invitationals, are the Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm. The Innocent Charm is a group composed of friends of Hinata Hakamada while the Prestigious Charm is a group composed of friends of Hinata’s sister Kagetsu Hakamada” said Jun.

“Hum, they’re happy to confirm their participation at the Ōmori Invitationals because they want to step up in the court for fun and they want to let their opponents know that they’re innocent and cute. Their symbolization is their wisdom because they give advices to the innocent and prestigious friends in Keishin” said Sora.

“I’m hyped to see that match because the Charms are always ready to show their hearts through their passive motivation and charisma while your group is ready to put their courage and pride as they’re ready to conquer like what Kasuragi did last year” said Kyō.

“Since it’s going to be a big clash between the two groups that it might happen in the tournament soon, I hope that both teams will face each other as they’re want to keep their wisdom and truth” said Mimi.

“Yeah! It’s our motivation that we’re ready to compete in the Ōmori Invitationals and we won’t let our teammates down until we’re reaching the final” said Ruri.

“Well, then, I hope that you’re not going to lose your pressure once it’s time to face either the Innocent Charm or the Prestigious Charm. They aren’t easy to beat, but they’re charismatic to determine themselves” said Sakura.

“I feel motivated about your group’s history, but I hope that you, Mika and Taketoshi will be able to work together in building your group to a brighter future” said Megumi.

“Yeah!” said Ruri, Mika and Taketoshi.

“Hey, Ruri. Now that you finally meet them, I think it’s time to let them want to see your group” said Shimako.

“Okay, Shimako!” said Ruri. Ruri, Mika and Taketoshi leave before Ruri talks to the Family of Angels and the New Camellian Dragons. “Shall we go to the Recreational Center to meet the members of our group?”

“Yeah!” said the members of the Family of Angels and the New Camellian Dragons.

“Okay, let’s go!” said Ruri, who smiles to the members of the Family of Angels and the New Camellian Dragons.

Shimako, Yasushi, Hinata Kiyama, Kana, Ruri, Mika, Taketoshi and the members of the Family of Angels and the New Camellian Dragons would go to the Recreational Center where Ruri, Mika and Taketoshi will about to introduce the Family of Angels and the New Camellian Dragons to the members of Sagi-ume.

The members of Sagi-ume wear their group’s attire. The boys wear red plum-colored shirt and the girls wear purple-colored shirt. The shirt includes the logo of Sagi-ume and the Japanese word of Sagi-ume. The members of Sagi-ume currently train the members of the Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm in separate areas of the basketball court.

“Everyone! Let’s stop the training for a while. I will introduce to you to the friends from the New Camellian Dragons and the Bravehearts!” said Ruri. A group of students arrive shortly to meet the Family of Angels and the New Camellian Dragons.

“Are those friends being members of your group, Ruri-san?” asked Tomoka.

“Yeah, these members are also my friends of mine. Now, introduce to them” said Ruri.

The members of Sagi-ume begin to introduce themselves.

“I’m Saki Miyazaki and I’m one of the vice chairmen of Sagi-ume, representing the Five Arrows of Ume!”

“I’m Banri Sakurai and I’m one of the vice chairmen of Sagi-ume, representing the Shield of Sagisō!”

“I’m Runa Kumada and I’m one of the vice chairmen of Sagi-ume, representing the Unburden Purple Nightingale!”

“I’m Michiko Hiyama and I’m one of the members of the Five Arrows of Ume!”

“I’m Fujio Aijima and I’m one of the members of the Shield of Sagisō!”

“I’m Genjiro Aiuchi and I’m one of the members of the Unburden Purple Nightingale!”

“I’m Naoya Hirao and I’m one of the members of the Five Arrows of Ume!”

“And I’m Sumika Maeyama and I’m one of the members of the Shield of Sagisō!”

“It’s nice to see you all! I’m Tomoka Minato and I’m a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School. I’m leading the Bravehearts alongside Maho, Saki, Airi and Hinata. Here are my friends of mine. They are Mimi Balguerie, Michiko Takeda, Megumi Kadokawa, Jun Gotō, Sora Kaneshiro, Sakura Toriumi, Kyō Nukui and Kōme Ogi.”

“My name is Hanako Itō and I’m the leader of the New Camellian Dragons. We met each other before in the Kasuragi Elementary School and this year, we’re classmates this time in the Kasuragi Middle School. I’m glad that we’re able to grow our progress in our studies and hopefully, we can pick a better high school in Ōta.”

“My name is Toshihiro Kanzaki and here are our members of the New Camellian Dragons: Chinami Itagaki, Ayaka Kutaragi, Momoe Nagashima, Yūto Iwase, Erina Miyagi, Akane Takenaga, Keisuke Sato, Teruko Sugiyama, Aya Masamune, Chinami Kasai, Mao Asakura, Yōko Owada, Setsuko Yoshimura, Minami Asagi, Naoki Takayama, Michiya Haketa and Ryūichi Ōsugi.”

“My name is Megumi Kadokawa and I’m a close friend of Tomoka. I’m also leading the Family of Angels. Our team is composed of five groups: Team Gotō-Takao, Jun’s Angels, Team Takeda, Team Miyazaki and Team Kadokawa. We’re hopefully going to approve my proposal where the invitational tournament will be held on May 1 and 2. So, I’m expected to see the approval of our plan when Masayoshi and the representative from the Ogi clan will be here at the mansion later.”

They would be joined by the friends of the New Camellian Dragons-Shiromidai known as the Miracle Two Shiromidai. It is led by Rie Satouchi, a friend of Teruko Sugiyama and a student of the Niida Nishi Middle School.

Miracle Two Shiromidai: Rie Satouchi, Kurumi Katsumata, Midori Hasegawa, Chiwa Tsuruta, Toshihiro Izuki, Mitsugu Okazaki, Takahiro Akikawa, Tsuneyuki Yanagita, Yūta Kawamae, Nana Momijidani, Ōmi Matsukata, Tomoko Yanagita, Keisuke Takeshita and Yasuki Tamaki

“Oh, that reminds me, we didn’t formally introduce ourselves as well. We are the members of the Miracle Two Shiromidai, a group of students who were friends with the Teruko Sugiyama and her friends from the Shiromidai chapter of the New Camellian Dragons. I’m Rie Satouchi and I’m the leader of this group.”

“Well, I believe that everyone is all here to know our group. We, the Sagi-ume, are preparing ourselves to participate at the Ōmori Invitationals and we’re having time to train with the Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm, who were also going to be participants of the Ōmori Invitationals. That’s why it’s a coincidence that there will be a lot of actions going to set next week” said Saki Miyazaki.

“Yeah!” said the Bravehearts, the Family of Angels, the Innocent Charm, the Prestigious Charm, Team Aurora, the New Camellian Dragons and the Miracle Two Shiromidai.

“If you’re ready to see our talents, you better get ready to watch us as we’re going to have a demonstration of us doing our special talents!” said Banri Sakurai.

“Are you ready to watch us performing our moves?” asked Runa Kamada.

“Yeah!” said the Family of Angels and the New Camellian Dragons.

“Okay, then, let’s start!” said Saki Miyazaki.

A few minutes later, the members of the Innocent Charm, the Prestigious Charm, Team Aurora, the Family of Angels and the New Camellian Dragons are sitting in the crowd to watch the performance of the members of Sagi-ume.

Ruri Shimizu, Mika Okazaki, Saki Miyazaki, Runa Kumada, Michiko Hiyama and Sumika Maeyama are showing their talents in the basketball court.

Ruri Shimizu performs first to do the Thriller Hook Shot. Ruri uses the crossover move and then, the drive as she enters to the corner. Ruri didn’t hesitate herself as she is using her right hand to perform the hook shot.

Mika Okazaki start dribbling the ball and then, performing the between the legs move. Mika would use her drive perform doing her special move, the Arrowhead Clutch. Mika uses her strength while performing the special talent.

Saki Miyazaki performs first the behind the back move before going for the drive to shoot the ball with the special move, the Shooting Star. The Shooting Star is a variant of a three-point shot where her jump should be faster before doing that shot.

Runa Kumada and Michiko Hiyama battle each other where Runa dribbles the ball to the corner. Michiko is now using her pressure to prepare for the attack. As Runa shoots the ball with the layup, Michiko blocks the shot easily. Then, Michiko gets the ball and performs the spin move before shooting the ball with the Nightingale Vision Shot, which the shot is good.

Runa tries again as she is using the spin and drive move before Michiko stops her in trying to find an opening. Runa would perform the dash before doing the up and under, which the shot is good. Runa’s up and under is a special move known as the Rustling Up and Under Succession.

Sumika Maeyama performs first the Grind and Drive Succession where she goes for the spin and drive move before shooting the ball with the finger roll. Once the girls of Sagi-ume finish demonstrating their special talent, the people in the crowd are impressed of their performance.

“Wow! Those moves are wonderful!” said Rie Satouchi.

“It’s more like a slam dunk contest if you know what I mean, Rie-chan” said Nana Momijidani.

“Ah, yeah. I believe that it is” said Rie.

“Those girls are very talented and despite they didn’t become members of the varsity team, they’re believed to be in the same level as the Bravehearts and the New Camellian Dragons” said Kurumi Katsumata.

“I like the special move made by Mika Okazaki. That girl is seemed to be good in double clutch shots in the paint!” said Ōmi Matsukata.

“Mine is Runa’s Rustling Up and Under Succession! It can increase her acceleration and improve her shooting without losing the ball” said Midori Hasegawa.

“It feels like these girls are said to be more competitive in the Ōta League. I can’t wait to see them competing at the Ōmori Invitationals because they have confirmed their participation a few days ago” said Mitsugu Okazaki.

“Ah, I see that confirmation, Mitsugu!” said Nana.

“Me too!” said Rie, Kurumi, Midori, Chiwa Tsuruta, Ōmi and Tomoko Yanagita.

“I’m sure that they’re ready to compete as a unified team since they have their separate journeys before they merge together” said Toshihiro Izuki.

“You got that right, Izuki-kun. I hope that they’ll be able to shine together and win the tournament for their team!” said Rie.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Miracle Two Shiromidai.

“Amazing! Those moves are magnificent!” said Michiko.

“I can’t believe that those girls are compared to the members of the New Camellian Dragons, but they didn’t join the basketball team. They connected with the New Camellian Dragons through Shimako, Yasushi, Hinata and Kana” said Kōme.

“Ruri Shimizu is a great performer in doing the hook shot and she is compared to Kagetsu. I’m glad that Ruri feels motivated without her hesitation needed because Ruri is always energetic and overjoyed when she gets along with her friends in Kasuragi” said Megumi.

“Sagi-ume is a team that they are good in interior defense and perimeter shooting because their members are mostly focused on the mid-range and the post area” said Anzu.

“For the record, they have a stronger willpower to take actions without hesitating themselves” said Jun.

“Yeah, I’m glad that they’re pretty hyped up for the Ōmori Invitationals, but this will be their first time to compete this year. I think they should prepare more before they will step in to the court for their first match” said Akiko Miyazaki.

“I hope that the girls are going to prepare themselves in possibly facing teams like the Pink Nobles, the Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm. I love to see the friends of Hinata and Kagetsu having fun to train together” said Kyō.

“It seems that they’re not complicating themselves since the Pink Nobles have planned to participate at the Ōmori Invitationals, but there will be no friction between those teams when they’re heading to the tournament” said Sakura.

“Hum, to be honest, it’s going to be a real competition between these teams, but of course, you don’t forget with the other teams coming from the Ōmori area” said Sora.

“Oh, I guess you’re right, Sakura. Aside from the Sagi-umi joining the competition, I believe that we’ll find out on who will participate in the tournament as well” said Sakura.

“I’m sure that the intense battle between the Sagi-ume and the Innocent Charm may be more thrilled as long as they might either face each other earlier or in the final. I hope that we can watch the tournament, but we don’t know if we’ll do that. We still have some decisions to do once we’re going to talk to Masayoshi. Right, Sakura, Sora and Kyō?” said Jun.

“Yeah!” said Sakura, Sora, and Kyō.

“I can’t wait to see a possible battle between the Pink Nobles and Sagi-ume in the Ōmori Invitationals. Ryōta needs to prepare himself because aside from competing for the Ōmori Invitationals, he is now ready to join the tryout two weeks from now” said Junichi Kamisaka.

“Yeah, I’m not sure if Natsuhi feels pressured about Ryōta, but we’ll see how both Natsuhi and Ryōta co-exist each other once they’re in the middle school boys’ basketball team. Right, everyone?” said Tomoka.

“Yeah” said Michiko, Kōme, Megumi, Anzu, Jun, Akiko, Kyō, Sakura, Sora and Junichi.

The montage shows the boys of Sagi-ume doing their special talents in the basketball court. Ryōta feels motivated after watching the demonstration.

“I can’t wait to face them if we’re going to be drawn on the easy way or the hard way. I hope that our team will make it to the final of the Ōmori Invitationals. I have a feeling that those guys will be possibly facing us in the further round” said Ryōta.

“I hope that you won’t be pressured by those guys because they’re compared to the boys of Kasuragi” said Kira.

“Yeah! I’m not going to be complicated with them because they’re gonna make us more determined with their true formation. I’m ready to take them out as long as my team would” said Ryōta.

“Okay, but please, don’t do fierce fights in the court” said Misaki.

“Of course, Misaki! I can always count on my team and it’s my destiny to do it!” said Ryōta.

“That’s my boy, Ryōta!” said Kira.

“I hope that you’re ready to feel good to face them in a matter of time!” said Ai.

“There could be only one winner in the Ōmori Invitationals and not only you’re not going to worry that team, but our very own Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm as well!” said Misaki.

“Yeah, that’s true” said Ryōta.

In the second front row, Hanako Itō, Shimako, Yasushi, Hinata Kiyama, Kana, Hinata Hakamada, Kagetsu, Mimi, Kazuko, Mizuki, Hanako Kotobuki, Junichi Morizawa and Asumi are talking in a conversation. Shimako shows the picture of the three groups to Mimi. “Mimi, that’s the original formation of the three groups before the merger.”

“Well, they are different to each other and also, their members are looked alike to each other” said Mimi.

“That’s true, Mimi. It’s been a while that the Five Arrows of Ume, the Shield of Sagisō the Unburden Purple Nightingale have cooperated with each other during school projects and also, the four of us were included to that group” said Hinata Kiyama.

“There’s a difference between the New Camellian Dragons and the Sagi-ume. The New Camellian Dragons is basically a dominant group coming from the Dragons of Ōta while the Sagi-ume is not an affiliated member of the Dragons of Ōta due to the dissolution of the Dragons of Ōta” said Yasushi.

“All friends from the Kasuragi Elementary School are not all members of the Dragons of Ōta. That’s why the Sagi-ume is an independent group compared to the other groups such as the Cerulean Wing, the Spades of Lavender, the Gale Guardians of Kasuragi and the Club of Purple Azaleas” said Kana.

“Oh, I get it. Obviously, the Sagi-ume is a group that is connected with a larger group, led by Shinji Naomoto, a second year high school student from the Kugahara High School” said Hanako Itō.

“So, what’s the name of the group?” asked Hanako Kotobuki.

“The name of the group is the Radiant Azaleas of Ōmori. Shinji Naomoto, who is joined by his partner Akina Ishida, worked hard in creating that group and also, he’s very ambitious when it comes to his well-fashioned leadership. Sagi-ume joined the Radiant Azaleas of Ōmori to cooperate with each other in team building activities in Ōmori” said Hanako Itō.

“You know, one of my friends have planned to merge different groups from our class and Hinata’s class. Her name is Erika Satō. She’s the current President of the Student Council and a liberal progressive leader” said Kagetsu.

“Erika is also a member of the Prestigious Charm and sometimes, she played basketball with her friends like the two of us” said Hinata Hakamada.

“The Prestigious Charm and Team Aurora have partnered with each other once, which is the Foundation Day Bonfire. We did that two months ago where our friends have celebrated the bonfire by bringing foods and drinks as a thanksgiving to everyone” said Hanako Kotobuki.

“Our group has been progressing in academics and each of our members have different interests including basketball. Of course, Team Aurora is planning to collaborate with other groups from different schools like Kamata, Rokugō Nishi and Iriarai Daigo. We already partnered with the Azure Wind, the Winding Current and the Temperate Celadon, but we’re still planning to add new groups in forming an extended group” said Kazuko.

“Oh, I see. So, that means both groups have interests in cohabiting with the other groups either outside or inside the school” said Shimako.

“Yeah!” said Hinata Hakamada, Kagetsu, Mimi, Kazuko, Mizuki, Hanako Kotobuki, Junichi Morizawa and Asumi.

“The Prestigious Charm and Team Aurora have different interests in partnering with other groups and hopefully, we’re planning to invite them to compete at the invitational tournament on May 1 and 2” said Asumi.

“Ah, I think we’re expecting to invite us to compete that event, Asumi” said Hinata Kiyama.

“Yeah!” said Asumi.

“Megumi and Asumi are planning to hold an invitational tournament as part of the proposed festival that is organized by the Family of Angels. While Jun and the Angels are working on building their schedule, other groups like us will be contributing the Family of Angels and hopefully, they’ll finalize the activities before the Ōmori Invitationals” said Hanako Kotobuki.

“Okay, good for you! I hope that we’ll participate at the meeting for some time before the Ōmori Invitationals. We can wait the expected to see what the activities will be for the first week of May” said Kana.

“Yep. I hope that you’ll all be invited to join the activities and have fun with us!” said Mimi.

“Okay!” said Hanako Itō, Shimako, Yasushi, Hinata Kiyama and Kana.

Later, an exhibition match between the Innocent Charm and the Sagi-ume starts right away with the Sagi-ume performs very well and pushing their strong defense into force. The current score is now 18 to 13 with Sagi-ume leading by 5. While the game is ongoing, Tomoka, Michiko, Megumi, Jun, Sora, Sakura, Kyō and Kōme are surprised to see Nozomi, Kurumi and Yuzuha.

“Hey, everyone!” said Nozomi. Kurumi and Yuzuha wave their hands to say hello.

“Oh, Nozomi! You’re here!” said Jun.

“Yep. The three of us brought some fruits for our lunch later at noon” said Nozomi.

“That’s good, Nozomi! So, who will be cooking for lunch?” said Jun.

“The three of us will cook the lunch today!” said Yuzuha.

“Well, I hope that when Masayoshi and the representative from the Ogi clan will be able to see us later” said Kyō.

“Anyway, what time they will be here?” asked Kōme.

“Three in the afternoon” said Nozomi.

“That means, we should be present at the mansion so that we’ll have time to wait for the guests to arrive soon. Also, we’ll also going to decide whether we will stay at the mansion, at the Nukui Residence, our home, and the Little Wing” said Kurumi.

“Well, we didn’t decide that yet, but I’m sure that we’ll decide together” said Jun.

“Okay!” said Nozomi, Kurumi and Yuzuha.

“By the way, what are you watching right now?” asked Yuzuha.

“We’re watching an exhibition match between the Innocent Charm and the Sagi-ume” said Sakura.

“The Innocent Charm is currently rallying the game after being struggled in the first quarter” said Kyō.

“Oh, I see. What’s the score?” said Kurumi.

“The score is now 30 to 28 with the Innocent Charm leading by 2” said Jun.

“Hum, my cousin, Shinobu Hirasawa, is playing in the court for the first time and he gets two assists in the game” said Sora.

“Wow! That’s good for him, Sora! I hope that he will be able to contribute his efforts in helping the Innocent Charm to win the match!” said Nozomi.

“Yeah, he’s always quiet when he goes for the assist” said Sora.

Jun smiles to Sora. “I know that he’s very quick in using his hands while passing, dribbling or shooting the ball.”

“Of course, Jun!” said Sora.

“I feel good for your cousin, Sora. Is your cousin like music?” said Tomoka.

“Oh, yes, he is. He even liked my songs after watching the recent concert of us” said Sora.

“Wow! I can’t believe that Shinobu is very determined to be loyal to you and I’m sure Shinobu doesn’t surprise you any time” said Michiko.

“Hum, he’s not stiff and stern, I’ll tell you” said Sora.

“I wonder what plan will be for the anniversary week, Jun” said Tomoka.

“You see, there’s a proposed concert to be held in the Misawa Resort Hotel” said Jun.

“There’s also a proposed tournament made by me and Asumi” said Megumi.

“The bonfire activity at the Little Wing on the weekend” said Michiko.

“And many more to see in the anniversary week!” said Nozomi.

“Our first meeting between Kyō and the three of us was happened on May 3 and it’s already nearly a year to remember that event” said Jun.

“Hum, Kyō-nii and the three of us are friends together and then, connecting with Saku-ne, Kuru-ne, Kōme-ne and Yuzuha-ne to form Jun’s Angels” said Sora.

“Then, eventually, the Family of Angels was born with the students of Keishin and Shiromidai which creates more happiness and more enjoyment!” said Nozomi.

“It’s going to be a big week for our group and also for the Family of Angels because not all of us have the smiles and joys, we also keep our wisdom and truth” said Kyō.

“The Family of Angels will stay together as one family and hopefully, we’ll continue to do this until a new generation comes” said Sakura.

“We can’t lose our hearts because we’re the Family of Angels! Right, everyone?” said Jun.

“Yeah!” said Tomoka and the members of the Family of Angels.

“Oh, there’s one more thing that we’re going to talk about. The vacation” said Megumi.

“Oh, yeah, I get it. That’s what Subaru said about that before” said Michiko.

“Yeah! We’re been planning on this because we’re expecting to have a short vacation on the nearest holiday. That’s why we should work on that before Masayoshi and the representative from the Ogi clan will arrive soon” said Tomoka.

“Oh, yeah, that’s what we’re trying to join you into a meeting. I think you should call your friends to join with us” said Nozomi.

“Okay!” said Tomoka.

As Tomoka leaves her seat to call Hinata Hakamada, Mimi, Asumi, Kazuko, Mizuki and the members of the Family of Angels to join with the group, Kurumi calls Michiko, Megumi, Jun, Sora, Sakura, Kyō and Kōme to join with her, Nozomi and Yuzuha. “Come on, everyone! We should all go to the mansion!”

“Yeah!” said Michiko, Megumi, Jun, Sora, Sakura, Kyō and Kōme.

“Everyone! We should join them as they’ll be heading to the mansion!” said Tomoka.

“Okay!” said Hinata Hakamada, Mimi, Asumi, Kazuko and Mizuki.

Once the group of Hinata and the group of Tomoka join with Nozomi, Kurumi and Yuzuha, they all walk together. “Let’s go to the mansion!” said Nozomi.

“Okay!” said Tomoka, Michiko, Megumi, Jun, Sora, Sakura, Kyō, Kōme, Kurumi, Yuzuha, Hinata Hakamada, Mimi, Asumi, Kazuko, Mizuki and the members of the Family of Angels.

“I’ll see you later, everyone! There’s an important activity we have to decide” said Tomoka, who waves her hands goodbye to the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

“Okay, Tomoka, I’ll see you later!” said Hanako Itō.

Once Tomoka and her group leave the Recreational Center, so that they will wait for the guests to arrive, the match between the Innocent Charm and the Sagi-ume continues. The montage shows how the players of the Innocent Charm and the Sagi-ume did their roles in the court.

Innocent Charm: Kiyoshi Toshima (PG), Kazuya Uehara (SG), Ryōta Nakamura (SF), Yoshitsugu Kimura (PF) and Koji Nakagaichi (C)
Sagi-ume: Naoya Hirao (PG), Genjiro Aiuchi (SG), Taketoshi Sawamatsu (SF), Banri Sakurai (PF) and Fujio Ajima (C)

One of the highlights of the match is when Ryōta Nakamura performed the Chromatic Current after doing the spin move to drive past Taketoshi Sawamatsu and Genjiro Aiuchi. Also, Banri Sakurai performs the Widening Star-Studded Shot after performing the drive and post dribble combination to drive past Yoshitsugu and Ryōta. The match would end with the Innocent Charm won by a squeaker with the score of 49 to 47.

“What a great and magnificent match for both of you! I believe that both of you are showing your special skills to make an intense finish!” said Hanako Kotobuki.

“Yeah, both of us have been battling for my life and it’s very important that I have the gear to get the job done” said Ryōta.

“Ryōta is a great shooter and he’s always ready to save his team from being behind by us. I’m impressed with his performance and I’m delighted to see him and his teammates to work together as a team” said Taketoshi.

“Wow! I believe that Taketoshi had believed in you with your performance! Ryōta, I’m happy that you did it for us!” said Kira.

“You’re lucky that you did your special talent behind Taketoshi. I like that moment, Ryōta!” said Rei.

“Well, I’m glad that you’ve done it very well. Ryōta, you’re already prepared to join the middle school boys’ basketball team. I hope that you will be able to join the team soon” said Ai.

“Thanks, girls! I’m glad that you cheered me all the time and it gives me goosebumps when I performed skills in the court. Also, I’m feeling motivated to be ready to join the tryout for the basketball team!” said Ryōta.

“I’m so excited that you will be joining the tryout, Ryōta! I feel your enthusiasm and I want you not to pressured too hard” said Kiyoshi.

“Yeah, it seems that you’re electrifying with your special talent and your performance today was astounding!” said Junichi Morizawa.

“Yeah, that’s true that I’m simply electrifying” said Ryōta.

“But you see, Ryōta, I realize that you show your true colors in preparing for the middle school boys’ basketball team. I was shocked when you performed that special move over to your opponents in the paint” said Erika Satō.

“I think you should be ready to make your decision in whether you will team up with us, the Innocent Charm, or you will represent your own team” said Sora Fukutomi.

“What do you think, Sora? Are you in for the challenge?” asked Asuka Ōshiro.

Ryōta looks confident to hear the question from Sora and Asuka. Rei asks Ryōta one more time. “Will you represent us or your own group? It depends on you because the deadline of submitting the names to participate for the Ōmori Invitationals is today. Suzuko is waiting for your decision, so don’t be such in a big hurry, Ryōta.”

After ten seconds of thinking the question, Ryōta finally answers the question. “I will… represent my own team to compete for the Ōmori Invitationals.”

The members of the Innocent Charm, Team Aurora and Sagi-ume gasp as they are shocked to hear Ryōta’s decision. “What?!”

“You gotta be kidding me?!” said Akira Tayama.

“You can’t do that!” said Aoi Kayano.

“You think you gonna do that, Ryōta?!” said Ryōta Inoue.

“That answer makes me shocking, Ryōta! I can’t believe that you’re feeling motivated to challenge us!” said Michiya Toriumi.

“That’s gonna make three teams competing in the Ōmori Invitationals! What the hell are you thinking, Ryōta?!” said Yoko Shimizu.

“Is he feeling pressured for his group?” asked Masanobu Yamada.

“I think he did so, Masanobu” said Kōsuke Minagawa.

“Ryōta, I think they’re reacting to your answer. Why you will represent your own team compete for the Ōmori Invitationals?” said Asami Miyazaki.

Ryōta would finally give his friends a silence before explaining his answer. “You see, I already made up my mind in planning to participate at the Ōmori Invitationals because I want to compete there with my own team. I promised to myself that I will participate at the Ōmori Invitationals, representing my own team because my team, the Pink Nobles, is already prepared to compete with our mind and hustle being fueled up. It’s not gonna be easy to battle anyone, but the important thing is that winning is not always everything to succeed. It’s going to be my chance to represent my own team and win the tournament to qualify for the Ōta League Cup. And my decision is final.”

“So, you’re motivated to represent your own team. I’m okay with that, Ryōta, but there’s nothing special for you to represent your own team because the Sagi-ume will be competing at the Ōmori Invitationals as well!” said Taketoshi.

“Don’t be so surprised to see us in the tournament because the other teams like the Itō-Iwase Group and the Fallen Wave will be competing in the Ōmori Invitationals. Things will get better for all of us and that’s why you better get ready to prepare yourselves next week!” said Ruri.

“That’s right, Ruri. We already know that the New Camellian Dragons are ready to write their new chapter, but we won’t be worrying about them even some of our friends are in middle school this year” said Saki Miyazaki.

“I’m expecting to see both teams competing in the court at the Ōmori Invitationals, Rei and Erika. Let’s fulfill our promise to face each other one way or another!” said Mika.

“Okay, you’re on” said Rei.

“Don’t be pressured out because we’re ready to compete in the Ōmori Invitationals!” said Erika.

“That’s right, Erika. We’ll see about that because we’re prestigious and cute! Right, everyone?” said Miho.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm.

Junichi would meet Ruri and the members of the Sagi-ume as he asks Ruri a favor. “Now that we know each other, Ruri and the team, will you join our group, the Bravehearts, as associates?”

“Yes, we can! We’re ready to join your group as associates!” said Ruri and the members of the Sagi-ume.

“Alright! Looks like this will be the dawning of the new era of the Bravehearts and the New Camellian Dragons as the endless partnership between the two groups will begin!” said Junichi.

“We’ll start working together as long as everyone is ready to have a brighter future!” said Izumi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Sagi-ume.

“For us, we’ll be waiting for our confirmation to participate at the Ōta League as soon as possible!” said Rie.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Miracle Two Shiromidai.

“Good luck to all of you! Things will go intense when we will witness both teams facing each other in the tournament!” said Hanako Kotobuki.

“You bet, Hanako!” said Rei, Ryōta, Sora, Erika, Miho, Naoki, Shun and Asami. The decision of Ryōta Nakamura and the confirmed participation of the Sagi-ume make the Ōmori Invitationals even more challenging as the Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm are looked intense to witness both teams ready to participate at the Ōmori Invitationals. Meanwhile, Tomoka, the Bravehearts and the Family of Angels are ready to meet Masayoshi and the representative from the Ogi clan and hopefully, Jun’s Angels will make their decision whether they will stay at the Little Wing or move out to their new home.

Masayoshi and the representative from the Ogi clan are walking on their way to the Misawa Resort Hotel.

“Is that the place where your little girls living right now?” asked Sakiko Aizawa, the representative from the Ogi clan. Sakiko is the cousin of Anzu and Kōme Ogi through Sae Aizawa, the sister of the father of Kenta Ogi. Sae’s husband, Takuto Aizawa, is Sakiko’s father.

“Yeah, I believe that they are ready to make their decision whether they will stay at the Little Wing or move out to their new home” said Masayoshi.

“Ah, I get it, Masayoshi. Well, I hope that I can meet my cousin” said Sakiko.

“You mean, Kōme? Ah, I see. Well, then, I think it’s time to see how the little girls are doing” said Masayoshi.

“Okay” said Sakiko.

UP NEXT: Chapter 88: “The Angel’s Wish”

So, a quick reminder on this: it’s one week away before Nozomi Momijidani’s birthday, which is on October 21 (Sunday), and I will be planning to post a teaser for my second omake to be released very soon. The second omake is going to be a crossover of Ro-Kyu-Bu!, Tenshi no 3P! and Gochuumon Wa Usagi Desu Ka? I’ll post the details of this omake when it reaches October 21 (Sunday). Now, for the next update, the Bravehearts and the Family of Angels will be joined by Masayoshi Sawatari and a representative from the Ogi clan as Jun and the Angels will make a major announcement for their group. I’ll see you on October 17 (Wednesday) for the next update!

 

[Sherwin Riga]

I’m back, everyone!;) It’s been two weeks since I was last time updating Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts and it’s great that I’m back for tonight’s update! The series is almost reaching the 20,000 view count! I'm so surprised when I see the view count growing when I'm not active in this forum and despite the two-week hiatus, it's safe to say that I will post the new update tonight before the end of the month of October. Tonight’s update was supposedly released almost two weeks ago, October 17, 2018 (Wednesday), however, it was postponed due to some Internet connection problems and eventually, the Internet being upgraded. As a result, it was moved to tonight, October 30, 2018 (Tuesday). Last October 21 (Sunday), it’s the birthday of Nozomi Momijidani. Nozomi Momijidani is a female character from Tenshi no 3P!/Angel’s 3Piece! She is a prestigious and cheerful girl, a member of her band, Lien de Famille, and is voiced by Yurika Endō. Since it’s her belated birthday, her belated birthday special is connected to tonight’s update where Jun’s Angels will make their decision in front of their friends including the Bravehearts. Of course, Nozomi’s name comes for the word Nozomi, which means ‘wish’ in Japanese. That will fit the word ‘wish’ to the title name of tonight’s update. The title name of Chapter 88 is “The Angel’s Wish”. Also, there will be two birthday celebrations this week. Tonight (October 30 [Tuesday]) is Yumi Uchiyama’s birthday and on November 2 (Friday) will be Yūko Ono’s birthday. Yumi Uchiyama is the voice actress of Kaori Minato from Ro-Kyu-Bu! and Yūko Ono is the voice actress of Jun Gotō from Tenshi no 3P!/Angel’s 3Piece! and Hiyo Yukino from Ongaku Shōjo. This week will be a celebration week:) and the next update will be on November 4 (Sunday). Happy birthday, Yumi and Yūko! So, sit back, relax and enjoy reading Chapter 88!:)

When they wish upon a star, they will make their dreams come true someday. Tonight’s update will be an important chapter for the Family of Angels as Jun and the Angels are finally making their decision in whether they will stay at the Little Wing Orphanage or move to another place like the Nukui Residence or the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel. As the Bravehearts and the Family of Angels are ready for the meeting, they will discuss their plans between them to prepare themselves for the Golden Week. Then after the meeting was over, at night, Jun and the Angels are making their wishes while looking at the starts at night in the balcony of the mansion. So, if you’re ready to read tonight’s update, here is Chapter 88 with the title of the chapter, “The Angel’s Wish”.

Jun and her friends, the Angels, are ready to organize the meeting with their friends, the Family of Angels, and the Bravehearts as they will be discussing their plans between them for the Golden Week. Masayoshi Sawatari and Sakiko Aizawa would be welcomed by Jun and the Angels to join the meeting. As the meeting starts, Jun and the Angels have announced that they will finally move out from the Little Wing Orphanage and heading to their new home in the Nukui Residence. However, the Little Wing Orphanage will be inhabited by relatives from different families of the Family of Angels as they will be taking care of the orphans, so that they’ll become independent just like Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura. As the meeting continues, the Family of Angels have discussed their plans for the Golden Week where they will organize their project in collaboration with the Bravehearts and its partners known as the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. These includes the leadership elections, relocation of the headquarters of the Homewrecking Dragons, an upcoming basketball invitational tournament proposed by Asumi Hiramatsu and Megumi Kadokawa and a two-day vacation in Nagoya. After the meeting was over, the night comes with the moon shining in the sky. The New Camellian Dragons and the Sagi-ume would leave the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel after enjoying their fun with the Bravehearts. However, Hanako Itō and Yūto Iwase decide not to leave the mansion as Hinata invites them to stay at the mansion for one more day, so that they will organize an activity tomorrow. In the same night, Jun and the Angels are looking at the view of the sky at the balcony of the mansion where they will make their wish and fulfill their dreams come true. At the end of the day, Jun and her friends are hopefully going to have a successful partnership with the Bravehearts and the Family of Angels as they will be ready to move out from their old home, the Little Wing Orphanage, to their new home in the Nukui Residence.

VOLUME 6: “PRESTIGIOUS AND DETERMINATION”
CHAPTER 88: “THE ANGEL’S WISH”​

“While the Sagi-ume, a group composed of friends of Shimako Tagami, Yasushi Shionji, Hinata Kiyama and Kana Kawasumi, are training the members of the Innocent Charm and the Prestigious Charm, we’re finally waiting to see Masayoshi Sawatari and the representative from the Ogi clan as our meeting will about to begin soon.” Jun narrates the introduction while she and her friends are staying at the mansion.

“It’s about time that we’re ready to make our decision in whether we will stay at the Little Wing Orphanage or move to another place like the Nukui Residence or the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel. We will also be going to show the guests some plans for the future including the vacation that Subaru is planning for a long time and our band’s anniversary concert.” Nozomi narrates while writing the plans in her own notebook as she is smiling to her friends.

“The Family of Angels is ready to organize new activities with the Bravehearts and its associates as based in the school calendar, the Golden Week will be held in two weeks and hopefully, the Bravehearts will accept the schedule of our own week. I believe that our group is ready to show our plans, so that all participants will decide on whether accepting those or not. It’s time to go to our story where it takes place at the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel.” Sora finishes the introduction as she and her friends hope that their plans will be approved by the Bravehearts especially for Masayoshi Sawatari and Sakiko Aizawa, the representative from Ogi clan.

At the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel, the members of the Bravehearts and the Family of Angels are currently waiting for the guests to arrive as they are preparing themselves for the meeting between all parties.

At the Room #1 in the second floor, Subaru, Aoi and Tomoka are thinking about some ideas for the activities during the Golden Week.

“Subaru” said Tomoka.

“Yes, Tomoka. What are you gonna talk about?” said Subaru.

“Well, I remembered about your plans when we’re having a meeting with our friends. One of the things that I have been planning is the vacation you’re planning” said Tomoka.

“Oh, I see. Actually, I don’t know what to do if we’re going to have a vacation during the week of no classes, but I think it’s time for us to think about it” said Subaru.

“You’re right, Subaru. There will be no classes on the following dates: April 29, May 3, 4 and 5. That means, we should be fine if anyone from the Family of Angels will be organizing a vacation” said Aoi.

“Uh, I believe there is one” said Tomoka.

“By who?” asked Aoi and Subaru.

“Jun is planning on that plan” said Tomoka.

“Ah, I see. So, how did you know that?” said Subaru.

“You see, last night, while the New Camellian Dragons are staying at the mansion, I talked to Jun at their room. I asked her if she can propose a vacation during the Golden Week” said Tomoka.

The flashback shows Tomoka and Jun talk about the plans for a vacation to be held during the Golden Week.

“Jun, what do you think if you can organize the vacation for the Bravehearts?” asked Tomoka.

“Oh, that’s a great idea, Tomoka! I love vacations! I want to explore different places just like my parents did. Sadly, without my parents, I won’t be going on a vacation, that is until last year when our group spent our vacation in Soryu Island. That vacation in Soryu Island was one of the most highlighted memories I ever had because we finally know about the connection between Hibiki and Kiriyume” said Jun.

“Well, then, I think we should plan on that with our friends tomorrow, so that they will hear about that plan, Jun. It’s going to be a fun idea to have a vacation during the Golden Week!” said Tomoka.

“Okay, Tomoka!” said Jun. After this, the flashback ends, and this leads to Subaru and Aoi are getting an idea on Jun’s planned vacation.

“Ah, I understand about that, Tomoka. Maybe, we will spend a trip for one to two days and then, we will go back to our home on the second day” said Aoi.

“Yeah, I believe that our planned vacation will be a staycation and we have to agree with the other members of the Bravehearts and the Family of Angels if they want to go on vacation with us” said Subaru.

“Yeah, that’s true, Subaru. The possible location may be in Chūbu, mostly in Aichi. Aichi is the place where Jun’s parents were born there before moving to Tokyo for work” said Tomoka.

“So, we should schedule that vacation for two days. It will be on May 4 and 5, that would be Tuesday and Wednesday. The training will start on May 6. So, we should go back to our home by six in the evening. The trip to Nagoya lasts for five hours. We should be there by one in the afternoon” said Subaru.

“That’s fine with that, Subaru. I guess Jun will give us some details about her planned vacation later on, but I believe that you, Tomoka and Jun should collaborate on this” said Aoi.

“I think you’re right, Aoi. We should plan on that as earlier as we could” said Subaru.

“Yeah, Subaru! There are many vacations to be held in other time, but I hope that the planned vacation will be pushed through” said Tomoka.

“Of course, Tomoka! Anyway, I think we’re expected to see our guests soon. I wonder what they are going to talk about” said Subaru.

“Maybe there’s a proposal regarding the future of the Little Wing. If I remember correctly, Masayoshi is talking with the relatives of the members of Jun’s Angels if they will be taking care of the Little Wing while giving Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura their freedom to live with Kyō and Kurumi” said Tomoka.

“Ah, I remember that line while we’re eating lunch earlier” said Subaru.

“According to Jun, Masayoshi is expected to meet the relatives of the members of Jun’s Angels and it seems that they’re working on finding orphans to live the Little Wing. I can’t wait to see orphans in the Little Wing once Jun and her friends will agree to Masayoshi’s proposal to improve the relationship between him and Jun’s Angels!” said Tomoka.

“Oh, I hope that it might happen, but we’ll see if they could give their relatives some time to work with Masayoshi” said Subaru.

“Yeah!” said Tomoka and Sakura.

Suddenly, someone rings the doorbell at the entrance of the mansion. This prompts Tomoka, Subaru and Aoi thinking that the guests are finally arrived.

“I think there they are, Subaru” said Tomoka.

“I think so, Tomoka” said Subaru. Tomoka, Subaru and Aoi stand up and bring their stuff. “Let’s go down to see who they are.”

“Yeah!” said Tomoka and Aoi, who nod together.

Once Tomoka, Subaru and Aoi leave Room #1, Jun opens the door to see who they are.

The guests are revealed to be Masayoshi and Sakiko Aizawa, the representative from the Ogi clan. Sakiko is the cousin of Anzu and Kōme Ogi through Sae Aizawa, the sister of the father of Kenta Ogi. Sae’s husband, Takuto Aizawa, is Sakiko’s father.

“Master! You have just arrived on time!” said Jun, who is surprised to meet Masayoshi.

“Jun! It’s about time to know your decision and we want to hear it!” said Masayoshi.

“Well, okay. But first, I should call my friends to prepare for the meeting” said Jun.

“Sure, Jun. Hurry up!” said Masayoshi.

As Tomoka, Subaru and Aoi go down to the living room, Jun calls them. “Oh, Tomoka, Subaru and Aoi! You’re here! Master is here along with the representative from the Ogi clan. Come to the living room to meet them.”

“Okay!” said Tomoka, Subaru and Aoi.

Once the Bravehearts and the members of the Family of Angels are sitting in the sofa, Masayoshi and Sakiko are happy to see the members of Jun’s Angels sitting together.

Team Bravehearts: Tomoka Minato, Saki Nagatsuka, Airi Kashii, Hinata Hakamada, Maho Misawa, Mimi Balguerie, Kagetsu Hakamada, Masami Fujii, Tsubaki Takenaka, Hiiragi Takenaka, Kazuko Kakimoto, Mizuki Koyama and Natsuhi Takenaka

Team Eromanga: Masamune Izumi, Sagiri Izumi, Megumi Jinno, Elf Yamada, Tomoe Takasago and Muramasa Senju

Masayoshi introduces the members of the Bravehearts and the Family of Angels to Sakiko Aizawa. “Everyone. This is Sakiko Aizawa. She came from the Soryu Island and being one of the members of the Ogi clan. Her father is a member of the Soryu Island Recreational Organizing Committee Drummers Crew.”

“Hi!” said Sakiko.

“Hi, Sakiko-chan!” said the members of the Bravehearts and the Family of Angels.

Kōme remembers Sakiko as one of the members of the Ogi clan. “It’s nice to meet you again, Sakiko. I believe that you’re finally graduated from college. Wasn’t hard?”

“Not much, Kōme. I was summoned by your mother a few days ago” said Sakiko.

“Really, Sakiko?” asked Kōme.

“Yeah. She said to me that I was assigned to visit Tokyo to meet Masayoshi Sawatari. I arrived in Tokyo last Monday to meet him. The two of us were talking about the plans for the Little Wing Orphanage” said Sakiko.

“Ah, I understand about that, Sakiko. I mean, is there anything concerned about the Little Wing?” said Jun.

“Well, there is a meeting between the relatives of different members of the following families: Gotō, Momijidani, Kaneshiro, Toriumi, Nukui and Ogi. They’re planning to stay at the Little Wing as they want to adopt orphans to take care of them for one or two years before the orphans will end up being adopted by anyone who is desired to take care of them full-time” said Masayoshi.

“That’s good for them, Master. I’m glad that your plan is pushed through once we’re going to have our decision” said Nozomi.

“Hum, it’s been a while that we stayed together at the Little Wing, but right now, we’ve stayed at the mansion for about a month. I’m sure that we’ll be able to move on from being cared by you, Master” said Sora.

“That’s right, Sora. Masayoshi, the four of us are planning to stay with Kyō at the Nukui Residence because we were together with him for a long time. It’s our opportunity to stay together with him as long as Jun, Nozomi and Sora will grow up soon” said Sakura.

“So, that’s why, Master, we decided to move out from the Little Wing Orphanage to get along with Kyō permanently. As a result, we will be permanently staying at the Nukui Residence. But don’t worry, everyone, we’ll be going to the mansion if we have some time to meet with the Family of Angels!” said Jun.

“Hmm… that’s interesting. I think I will accept that decision, Jun” said Masayoshi.

Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Sakura, Kyō and Kurumi smile. Jun says, “That’s great!”

The members of the Bravehearts and the Family of Angels are gladly respected with Jun’s decision.

“Uh, Sakiko, we’re going to move out from our apartment and we will live at the Nukui Residence while staying at the mansion for some time” said Kōme.

“This would make sure that we’re finally going to be connected with Kyō at the Nukui Residence since the two of us have recognized him as a friend” said Yuzuha.

“Okay, good decision, Kōme and Yuzuha. I hope that you will treat him very well when you’re now living him at his home” said Sakiko.

“Okay, Sakiko!” said Kōme and Yuzuha.

“Master, we’re collaborating with the Bravehearts for the activities we’re going to organize in the next two weeks. Our first plan is that the Family of Angels will have a team meeting at the Nukui Residence on April 29 as part of the leadership elections for our group” said Jun.

“So, who are rumored to run for the leadership for the Family of Angels?” asked Masayoshi.

“Actually, I was planning to run for the leadership of the group if Megumi wants to run for the representative of our group in the Board of Students” said Nami Takashirō.

“I’m expected to run for this position as well because I promised myself that someday I can lead the group” said Akiko Miyazaki.

“I should take my consideration of running the leadership because I want to become more involved in planning with the other groups to collaborate on organizing activities in the mansion” said HItōmi Takao.

“I’m proposing my leadership bid if I will get support from my friends and classmates in Kirihara” said Michiko Takeda.

“I think I’m pursuing my leadership if I will accept my nomination to run for the leader of the Family of Angels” said Ayane Shirakawa.

“The boys should give their chance to run for the leadership of the Family of Angels. It’s impossible to have many girls running in the leadership election for our group, but I’m fine if my boys are going to support me in running for the leadership” said Junichi Kamisaka.

“I believe that it’s about time to prepare for the Golden Week and hopefully, I might be elected as the leader of the group” said Masanobu Uehara.

“While our team continuing our project, one of our members from Team Eromanga will expect to run for the leadership of the Family of Angels. I’m considering my brother to run because he’s very proud of his works and he should be expected to lead the Family of Angels. However, I might be running as well if my friends have encouraged me to run for the leader of the group. But hey, we’ll think about those things when we’re reaching to the leadership election” said Sagiri.

“You’re right, Sagiri. Maybe our group needs to find a great leader to help our team growing its team chemistry until they’re fully developed” said Masamune.

“Ah, yeah, it is, Masamune!” said Sagiri.

“I hope that it’s either the two of you may run as leader of the Family of Angels, but if I have an opportunity to run for leadership, maybe it’s gonna be me” said Muramasa.

“Oh, Muramasa, I think it’s going to be depends on our friends to nominate one of us” said Sagiri.

“That way, one group to support one person to another” said Masamune.

“Ah, I get it, Sagiri and Muramasa” said Muramasa.

“Okay, everyone, I’m expecting to be ready for the leadership election because I’m planning to run for the leadership in our group. It’s not going to be complicated, but we’ll see how it develops once it’s either me or anyone will lead the Family of Angels!” said Megumi Kadokawa.

“Things are going to be heated up for the leadership election, Nozomi” said Jun.

“Yeah, I think one of our members will end up running for the leadership and I don’t if it’s you or me, Jun” said Nozomi.

“You’re right, Nozomi. It’ll be depended on who should be running for our group” said Jun.

“I agree, Jun!” said Nozomi, Sora, Kyō, Sakura, Kurumi, Kōme and Yuzuha.

“Uh, Kōme, I heard about your current activities for your own group in Shiromidai. What is the name of the group?” said Sakiko.

“Sakiko, it’s the Homewrecking Dragons. Me and Yuzuha are currently appointed as officers of the group and we’re hoping to start acquiring members, in order to support our platforms this year” said Kōme.

“Our group is planning to relocate the headquarters from Den-en-chōfu to Yaguchi because the mansion is suited for the meeting place of the Homewrecking Dragons. Kōme and I are recently talking with the other officers regarding the relocation. One of the members of the group named Kanako Iguchi proposed the idea of partnering with the Bravehearts and the Family of Angels” said Yuzuha.

“Oh, I believe that you’re planning on this all along” said Masami Nojima.

“Yep!” said Yuzuha.

“Well, this will make a big change for the Family of Angels despite the Homewrecking Dragons didn’t join the Dragons of Ōta” said Anzu Ogi.

“Yeah, it’s true that the Homewrecking Dragons didn’t join the Dragons of Ōta due to Tomoka’s departure from the Shiromidai Elementary School girls’ basketball team. Now, many of our members supporting the plan in integrating the Homewrecking Dragons to the Bravehearts, which include AkItōshi Hyūgo. HItōe Asanuma, Shigeru Hirashita (a member of Team Gotō-Takao) and three officers (me, Shōichi Ōno and Yuzuha Aigae)” said Kōme.

“What do you think, Jun? Kōme is planning to integrate the Homewrecking Dragons to the Bravehearts” said Sakiko.

“Well, there’s a proposal in related to that point, Sakiko” said Jun.

“And what that would be?” asked Sakiko.

“With the relocation of our home from the Little Wing to the Nukui Residence, the Room #12 in the third floor may end up being occupied by two groups, Jun’s Angels and the Homewrecking Dragons” said Jun.

“Ah, I see. I hope that the proposal of yours will be approved once your group will be meeting with the Bravehearts” said Sakiko.

“Yeah! I was expecting to plan on this because I was wondering about whether I will stay at the mansion or at the Nukui Residence. Since I’m a member of the Homewrecking Dragons, I may end up staying at the mansion alongside Yuzuha permanently” said Kōme.

“Hmm… I understand about that, Kiriyume. Hey, how about this? If you can come to our home for once in a week, is it okay to you?” said Kyō.

“Uh… sure, why not, Hibiki. I think it’s the best to stay at the mansion for me to be busy in meeting with the Homewrecking Dragons, but hey, I will always be your back to help you” said Kōme.

“I’m okay with that, Kiriyume, but if we’re not busy with our assignments, we will stay at the mansion at some other time” said Kyō.

“Okay!” said Kōme.

Jun, Nozomi and Sora are feeling delighted after Kyō made a promise to Kōme. Jun smiles and saying, “I guess that we’re going to have new roommates in our room in the mansion if we have more time to meet them.”

“Yeah, Jun!” said Nozomi and Sora.

“I hope that the Homewrecking Dragons will be accepting your proposal, Kōme” said Nozomi.

“Hum, this will increase the number of members of the Family of Angels and they will be allowed to participate at the meetings we will make in the future” said Sora.

“Yeah, it’s going to be our first goal for the Homewrecking Dragons, so that we will collaborate with the Family of Angels for the future activities either the mansion or in Shiromidai” said Kōme.

“Our dreams will come true if our proposal is approved and hopefully, we’ll start bringing new ideas in continuing the legacy of the Homewrecking Dragons” said Yuzuha.

“I believe that you two will start planning on making new activities for the Golden Week because the Bravehearts will about to vote if they will accept your proposals later on” said Kurumi.

“Yeah!” said Kōme and Yuzuha.

The door was opened as Asumi Hiramatsu, Hanako Itō and Yūto Iwase arrive.

“Hey, everyone!” said Asumi.

“Oh, Asumi, Hanako and Yūto! We’re just currently in the middle of the meeting, but you can come with us to join our conversation” said Mimi.

“Okay!” said Asumi, Hanako and Yūto.

“Oh, I think Asumi is very expressive when it comes to attending a meeting like this” said Masayoshi.

“Yep. She’s my classmate from my class and she’s the captain of the Shiromidai Elementary School girls’ basketball team” said Jun.

“It’s an honor to meet you, Masayoshi-san” said Asumi.

“It’s nice to meet you too, Asumi. What are you doing right now?” said Masayoshi.

“Megumi and I will finalize the proposal of organizing an invitational tournament that will be held during the Golden Week” said Asumi.

“Well, then, share your proposal to your friends” said Masayoshi.

“Okay, Masayoshi-san!” said Asumi. Megumi gives Asumi a seat beside her. “Now, our proposal is going to be a collaboration between the Family of Angels and Team Aurora. It will be an invitational tournament to be held on May 1 and 2. The name of the tournament will be the ‘Fuchsia and Celadon Dragons Tournament’. This tournament will be held at the Recreational Center and it is expected to have more than 10 teams to participate in this tournament.”

“Our goal of this tournament is to prepare themselves for the future Ōta League competitions including the Den-en-chōfu Invitationals, which will be held in August. This tournament may possibly be part of the Golden Week activities of the Family of Angels, which will start on April 28 to May 8” said Megumi.

“Not only that we will bring the promising prospects to compete at the event, they will be able to step up in the future major competitions like the ForM Cup and the Ōta District Elementary School Basketball Tournament” said Asumi.

“So, what do you think, Jun? Will you accept our proposal?” asked Megumi.

Jun and her friends whisper about Asumi and Megumi’s proposal before Jun answers Megumi’s question. “I accept your proposal, Megumi. We’ll be adding that event as part of the activities of the Golden Week.”

“Alright!” said Kagetsu, Mimi, Masami, Tsubaki, Hiiragi, Kazuko and Mizuki as they are all excited for the Golden Week.

“I believe that the proposed tournament is finally accepted” said Saki.

“Yeah, I think it’s about time to witness a new foundation between the Family of Angels and Team Aurora” said Airi.

“Oh, I’m delighted to see that happen, Tomoka” said Hinata.

“Yeah, Hinata-chan! It’s going to be the dawning of a new era for the young basketball players to step up in preparing for the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon” said Tomoka.

“I’m so excited to see the Family of Angels getting their ideas in making the Golden Week to be their “own” week to celebrate their happiness and delightfulness” said Maho.

“Yep. I’m so excited for the Golden Week and I can’t wait to see what the Family of Angels going to do for that week” said Subaru.

“I believe that the Golden Week will be a busy week for us and everyone is ready to celebrate the joy and enlightenment of the Family of Angels. We’ll be waiting until the Golden Week as the Family of Angels will still be working on their planned activities to make the Golden Week busier than the spring break” said Aoi.

“By the way, Jun, what are the other activities going to include for the Golden Week?” asked Masayoshi.

“There are many planned activities that we’re going to do for the Golden Week” said Jun.

“The name of the project is known as the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. This activity week will be the week that the Family of Angels will give the friends their smiles of joy and enlightenment. The festivities will start on April 28 and end on May 8” said Nozomi.

“Aside from the two-day vacation that was planned by Subaru and Jun, the leadership assembly and the Fuchsia and Celadon Dragons Tournament, there will be the anniversary concert to be held at the Misawa Resort Hotel, the full moon viewing, the general assembly of the Music Club and the Homewrecking Dragons, the bonfire night and the first preview of Team Eromanga’s novel project. All of those are planned by everyone in the Family of Angels including Team Eromanga” said Sora.

“The leadership assembly will be held in separate venues including the leadership elections of the Bravehearts to be held at the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel. We’re also looking forward to adding new members of the Family of Angels and our possible target will be high school friends of the two of us” said Sakura.

“I have been dealing with my troubles when I was in middle school and I finally mended it when my schoolmates begin to believe in my contributions with Lien de Famille and Dragon≒Nuts. I can’t wait to invite them to join the Family of Angels as fans of our group” said Kyō.

“That’s right, oniichan. I feel motivated to make the Fuchsia and Celadon Week to be more important for the students of Shiromidai Elementary School and I can’t wait to see our friends enjoyed their moments through the activities we make” said Kurumi.

“With the leadership election to be held in two weeks, we’re going to see who will be leading the Bravehearts for the month of May. I expect to see Hanako Kotobuki or Erika Satō to lead the group as they are going to plan their activities for the next month” said Kōme.

“It seems that everyone is agreeing to the activities we make. Let’s make our enjoyment better than ever! Isn’t right, everyone?” said Yuzuha.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Family of Angels.

Masayoshi and Sakiko smile after seeing the smiles of the members of Family of Angels. Masayoshi reacts first to support the activities of the Golden Week. “I can’t believe that you’re all ready for the Golden Week. I think I will support the activities you’ll going to make.”

“Yeah, me too, Masayoshi! I can’t wait to see the festivities of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week and I might be overjoyed to see their pride and willpower of the Family of Angels!” said Yuzuha.

“Wow! I’m glad that you’re supporting us! As a gratitude, we thank you for your compliment and support” said Jun.

“Yeah! Thank you very much!” said the members of the Family of Angels.

“You’re welcome, Jun and the Family of Angels!” said Masayoshi and Sakiko.

“Masayoshi, I hope that the activities that the Family of Angels make will be pushed through before the Golden Week and it’s going to be a fun week to enjoy the smile and joy in our community” said Subaru.

“Well, I guess we’ll see how it develops before you’re going to finalize those before the Golden Week starts. But anyway, thank you for inviting us to this place. I’m appreciated with your support in inviting us to this place and I’m always guiding the girls to get along with their friends. Also, I’m going to have plans for the Little Wing as soon as possible” said Masayoshi.

“Masayoshi, we’re going to miss you so much!” said Jun.

“Yeah! I’m feeling motivated to stay with Kyō at his home, but we’re still going to visit the Little Wing at any time we want” said Nozomi.

“Hum, we’re ready to move out from the Little Wing and hopefully, we’re going to have a big happy family for us” said Sora.

“Masayoshi, thank you for taking care of us. Are going to miss us too?” said Sakura.

“Of course, Sakura! I can visit to your new home whatever I want” said Masayoshi.

“You bet, Master! I mean, Masayoshi. You can always count on us. Right, everyone?” said Kyō.

“Yeah!” said Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Sakura, Kurumi, Kōme and Yuzuha.

Masayoshi and Sakiko stand up and are about to leave the mansion. “Well, then, we’re going to leave now to go back to the Little Wing. I will prepare your stuff for you to move to your new home.”

“Okay, Master!” said Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura.

“I will see you tomorrow, Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura! And you too, Kyō and friends!” said Masayoshi.

“I’ll see you around, Kōme and Yuzuha!” said Sakiko.

“Okay! Goodbye, Masayoshi! Goodbye, Sakiko!” said Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Sakura, Kyō, Kurumi, Kōme and Yuzuha.

“Thanks for coming us to the mansion, Masayoshi and Sakiko!” said Tomoka.

“We’ll see you around!” said Subaru.

“Okay, we will! Goodbye, everyone!” said Masayoshi and Sakiko.

As Masayoshi and Sakiko leave the mansion to go back to the Little Wing Orphanage, Tomoka closes the door and talks to her friends. “Now that the meeting is over, let’s get back to work!”

“Okay!” said the Bravehearts and the members of the Family of Angels.

Part 2 will be on the next post.

“Yep. We’re going spend a night with my friends, Mimi and Asumi” said Hanako Itō.

“Don’t worry, guys, we’re going to leave the mansion tomorrow” said Yūto.

“Okay” said Teruko.

“I hope that you will be able to visit this place again” said Tomoka.

“You bet, Tomoka! No doubt about that!” said Teruko.

“Come back sometime to meet with us!” said Hinata.

“Yeah!” said the members of the New Camellian Dragons.

“Looks like we’re going to leave now, Kagetsu” said Ruri Shimizu.

“Yeah, Ruri. I hope that your group and our group will face each other at the Ōmori Invitationals. Erika and her friends will beat you no matter what the outcome is” said Kagetsu.

“I hope so, Kagetsu. It’s not gonna be easy to battle us, but we’ll see about that” said Ruri.

“Once again, thanks for inviting us to this place, Mimi” said Kana Kawasumi.

“You’re welcome” said Mimi before smiling on her face. “I hope that we will meet each other again if you have time to visit to our place.”

“Okay, Mimi!” said Kana.

“It’s nice meeting you, Bravehearts! We’ll see you around!” said Toshihiro.

“Yeah! See you around!” said Tomoka.

The members of the New Camellian Dragons and the Sagi-ume wave their hands to say goodbye to the Bravehearts. “Bye, everyone!”

“Goodbye, everyone!” said the members of the Bravehearts.

As the members of the New Camellian Dragons and the Sagi-ume leave the mansion, Hanako Itō and Yūto shout together. “We’ll see you on Monday, friends!”

“No doubt about that!” said Toshihiro and Teruko. Hanako and Yūto smile together as the members of the New Camellian Dragons and the Sagi-ume disappear in sight.

As they walk to meet Tomoka and the Bravehearts, Hanako and Yūto are so excited to sleep with Mimi and Asumi.

“I’m so excited to be with you, Mimi!” said Hanako Itō.

“Yeah! I hope that we will spend a night to be with you and your friends at your room later tonight” said Yūto.

“Whoa, whoa, easy now. I hope that you will be able to enjoy our own sleepover tonight” said Mimi.

“Yeah!” said Hanako Itō and Yūto.

“Looks like the two of them are interested to be with you Mimi. Even they aren’t in Keishin Academy, they still grow their relationship with us at the same time” said Tomoka.

“Yeah. They’ll be here until tomorrow afternoon and as a result of Jun’s Angels moving their new home to the Nukui Residence, we will wait for the Homewrecking Dragons to come to us at the same time. The Nukui Residence can’t lose Kyō and Kurumi because Kyō and Kurumi wants to invite their friends to live with them all along” said Mimi.

“How did you know about that, Mimi? I thought they are going to permanently staying at the mansion, but I believe that Kyō and Kurumi have been concerned about their home” said Kagetsu.

“I talked to them last night about their concern” said Mimi.

The flashback shows Mimi talking to Kyō and Kurumi at the room that the New Camellian Dragons stayed.

“What about your home, Kyō? Are you gonna let your home being empty?” asked Mimi.

“No, Mimi. I won’t let my home gone empty because if we will live in this place, maybe no one will live in my home” said Kyō.

“Yeah, my brother is right, Mimi. I can’t think of a nightmare that our home may be messed up with our stuff still being placed on the floor. I have to keep an eye on our stuff and those things can’t be stolen by thieves who are eager to get their valuable stuff” said Kurumi.

“So, that’s what you’re going to decide for tomorrow. You and your group will stay at your home?” said Mimi.

“Yeah, Mimi. I believe that Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura have maintained their independence by taking care of themselves and I want them to stay in our home” said Kyō.

“Also, I want to convince Kōme-chan and Yuzuha-chan to live in our home, so that both bands will stay together in one house. Right, oniichan?” said Kurumi.

“Yes, Kurumi” said Kyō.

“Well, I think I will support that decision, Kyō and Kurumi, but rest assured, you can spend with us anytime you want” said Mimi.

“Okay!” said Kyō and Kurumi.

The flashback ends when Mimi looks at the stars in the sky. “There’s no trouble in the Nukui family because they want Jun and her friends to stayed in their home and that’s their decision.”

“Wow! I believe that you’re right, Mimi. I think I will let my siblings to take care of my home if I will move to the mansion anytime I want” said Hanako Itō.

“Yeah, I would be glad to live in the mansion if I let my parents to live there in the future. If Hanako goes, then I will follow her” said Yūto.

“Well, you have your homes, right?” asked Hinata.

“Yeah” said Hanako Itō and Yūto.

“I believe that you should take care of your homes if you want to stay with your friends for a long time. Is that clear?” said Hinata.

“Yes, we understand” said Hanako Itō and Yūto.

“Okay, then, let’s get back to the mansion” said Mimi.

“Okay!” said the Bravehearts, Hanako Itō and Yūto.

As Tomoka, Hinata, Kagetsu, Mimi, Hanako Itō and Yūto are going back to the mansion, Masami and Airi talk to Asumi and Megumi at the Room #4 in the second floor.

“So, Asumi, since your proposal is accepted, did you have plans to invite anyone to the tournament?” asked Airi.

“Actually, there are some teams in Shiromidai may able to participate. Also, I assumed that Michiko is looking for her friends to compete in that tournament as well” said Asumi.

“Michiko and Akiko told me that in Kirihara, there are many schoolmates who have preferred to play basketball, but others prefer to play other sporting activities in school” said Megumi.

“Well, I expect to see what Michiko and Akiko will do in letting them participate at the Fuchsia and Celadon Dragons Tournament” said Masami.

“Of course, Masami! I’m sure that they will be able to know the tournament first before they will have to decide in participating that event” said Megumi.

“From my observation, there are many teams who have wished to participate in that tournament, mostly in Keishin because I believe that some groups associated with the Pink and Plum are preferred to participate” said Airi.

“Oh, you’re right, Airi. I believe that the Pink and Plum had many groups in middle school and high school divisions, but in elementary school, there are only two groups composed of the group of Erika Satō, known as the Prestigious Charm, and the group of Sayaka Ashihara, known as the Radiant Fuchsia. Those two groups are being popular in the sixth grade and it follows the principles of the Pink and Plum” said Megumi.

“I believe that the Pink and Plum has a stronghold in Ōmori, mostly in Keishin Academy and five other schools in that area. In Den-en-chōfu, there’s none because most groups prefer to use crimson or radiant red as their primary color” said Asumi.

“Ah, I see. Well, I hope that there will be five or more groups set to participate to represent Shiromidai, Asumi. Are you expecting to lead your team to participate as well?” said Airi.

“The Temperate Celadon? Yes, Airi, they will participate in the Fuchsia and Celadon Dragons Tournament. The Azure Wind and the Winding Current are planning to participate in the tournament as well because they’re associated with the ‘wind’” said Asumi.

“We’re looking forward to inviting some teams from Shiromidai and Keishin, but also from other schools they’re expected to compete in that tournament” said Megumi.

“I believe that there will be at least 20 teams will be competing in that tournament, Asumi” said Masami.

“Yep. In my calculation, there might be at least 20 or more teams expected to compete in the Fuchsia and Celadon Dragons Tournament, but it may expect to change when the registration is over” said Asumi.

“The registration will start on April 19 and end on April 26. The draw will be expected to be held at the mansion on April 29. Hopefully, we’ll be able to see the representatives from different teams to determine the draw for the tournament. Since it’s a two-day tournament, we’ll expect to crown the winners of the boys’ and girls’ tournaments” said Megumi.

“I hope that when they are here, we’ll expect to see what the tournament bracket would be looked like” said Airi.

“Of course, Airi! Asumi and I will be ready to organize tournament as part of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week!” said Megumi.

“Well, then, I hope that we will see stronger teams expecting to compete for the Fuchsia and Celadon Tournament once the registration is complete” said Airi.

“Yeah!” said Masami, Asumi and Megumi.

At Room #12 in the third floor, Kōme removes her clothes before Kyō sees her naked.

Kōme screams at Kyō, covering her body with her nightshirt. “Hibiki! Don’t look at me like that! You surprised me!”

“Ah, I’m sorry, Kiriyume! I was about to dress my clothes right here” said Kyō.

“Yeah, I know, Hibiki, but we have to wait the others to finish taking their bath. I’m sure Jun and others are still taking a bath” said Kōme.

“Yeah, I understand. Kiriyume, did you have other clothes to wear aside from the miko you wear after school?” said Kyō.

“Yes, I have, Hibiki. I bought some clothes in a clothing store nearby Shimomaruko and also, I even got a set of plain color shirts that my cousin Anzu gave me a few days ago. Anzu is interested in wearing plain color shirts because she’s always wanted to cool off with those shirts when she lived in Kanagawa as a young girl. I can’t believe that I have to try on one of those once” said Kōme.

“Yeah, you can wear any cloth you want, Kiriyume. Also, I look at your nightshirt. That’s what Jun always wear that every time we’re going to sleep” said Kyō. Kyō would pat on Kōme’s right shoulder. “It will make you comfortable to wear that dress at night.”

“Yeah, I get it, Hibiki. Thanks for your compliment and I believe that I will be staying with you at your home starting tomorrow. Maybe, we should go back to the mansion on Monday. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day to stay at your home” said Kōme.

“Of course, Kiriyume! We should work on our assignments before starting another week to go to school” said Kyō.

“Yeah!” said Kōme.

Kōme is blushing at Kyō while wearing her nightshirt. Once Kōme dresses her nightshirt, Kyō would wear his underwear, then, his white shirt and his blue shorts. Kōme would hold at Kyō’s right hand before looking at Kyō. Kōme smiles after she is feeling comfortable tonight with Kyō.

“Hibiki” said Kōme.

“What is it, Kiriyume?” asked Kyō.

“Come outside. I want to show you something” said Kōme.

“Uh… okay” said Kyō.

Later, Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Sakura, Kurumi and Yuzuha arrive shortly after finish taking their bath but are shocked when they didn’t see Kyō and Kōme.

“My goodness! Kyō and Kōme aren’t here!” said Kurumi.

“I don’t know where they are going, Kurumi. I think they are watching the view outside the mansion” said Jun.

“Well, they should be, Jun” said Kurumi.

“Look, Jun!” said Nozomi. Jun, Sora, Sakura, Kurumi and Yuzuha are seeing at Kyō and Kōme at the balcony of the mansion. “They’re looking at the view of the sky.”

“Ah, I see them! Let’s look at the view in the balcony!” said Sora.

“Yeah!” said Jun, Nozomi, Sakura, Kurumi and Yuzuha.

However, Nozomi trips on Sora and Kurumi in the place mattress, allowing Nozomi, Sora and Kurumi being shown naked.

At the balcony, Kyō and Kōme hear a thud in the room.

“Huh? What’s that, Hibiki?” asked Kōme.

“I think the girls are here!” said Kyō.

“Hey, Hibiki, they just finished taking their bath. What are we gonna do?” said Kōme.

“Eh… I think we have to find out” said Kyō.

Back at the room, Nozomi, Sora and Kurumi sit at the place mattress naked.

“Oh no! Kyō and Kiriyume might see us naked!” said Jun.

“Agh! That hurts, Sora!” said Nozomi.

“Yeah. Somebody will help us getting up” said Sora.

Sakura opens the door of the balcony. “Ah, there you are.”

When Sakura opens the door of the balcony, Kyō and Kōme stare at their friends, appearing to be shocked to see Nozomi, Sora and Kurumi naked. Jun and Yuzuha are not naked, thanks to their bodies covered with towels.

“Eh, why are you staring on us?” asked Sakura.

“I thought you girls are already dressed up” said Kōme.

“Yeah, but, I hear some noises earlier while we’re viewing at the sky” said Kyō.

“So, that’s why you’re not dressed up yet” said Kōme.

“Kyō! Kōme! Come right here!” said Nozomi.

Kyō and Kōme rush to Nozomi, Sora and Kurumi while Jun, Sakura and Yuzuha wear their nightshirts.

Kyō covers Nozomi with her towel. “Thanks for helping me, Kyō. I feel dizzy when I got tripped on Sora and Kurumi” said Nozomi.

“No problem, Nozomi” said Kyō.

“Hey, Nozomi, I felt nothing after we got tripped in the place mat” said Sora.

“Oh, yeah, Sora. Kyō, will you cover with her towel?” said Nozomi.

“Okay!” said Kyō.

“Whew! Thank goodness, Kurumi! You’re unharmed from that fall” said Kōme.

“I’m alright, Kōme. I would be in big trouble if we got all tripped in the place mat” said Kurumi.

“Yeah, I think you should be more careful on that” said Kōme.

“Okay” said Kurumi.

Sora gets up by Nozomi and Kyō before Kōme helps Kurumi to get up. Jun looks at them, smiling. “Ah, goodness! You should be more careful, Nozomi, Sora and Kurumi!”

“Yeah, Jun. The three of us are unhurt” said Nozomi.

“Hum, Kyō-nii and Kōme helped us to get up and sit together in the bed” said Sora.

“We thought that we would have been embarrassed, but we feel relieved after oniichan and Kōme saw us” said Kurumi.

“Well, it looks like you’re all unhurt, but next time, you have to be more careful while covering in the towel” said Jun.

“Okay!” said Nozomi, Sora and Kurumi.

“Hey, everyone! It’s already three days after the new moon. The moon is waxing” said Sakura, who wears her nightshirt.

“Ah, I see, Sakura. It looks like it’s not yet full moon. We should wait on that for two weeks to view a full moon” said Yuzuha.

“Yeah, I believe so, Yuzuha” said Sakura.

“Amazing! I can’t be thrilled without everyone seeing the view of the sky at night!” said Jun.

“Oh, yeah, Jun” said Kyō.

“I think we should see that view again” said Kōme.

Kyō nods, responding, “Yeah.”

“Kyō! We want to see the view of the sky too!” said Nozomi.

“Me too, Kyō-nii. I feel humbled to watch the view at night” said Sora.

“Oniichan, maybe all of us will make a wish, so that one day, all dreams will come true” said Kurumi.

“Oh, yeah, Kurumi. Let’s go out and see the view outside the balcony” said Kyō.

“Okay!” said Nozomi, Sora and Kurumi.

At the balcony of the mansion, the members of Jun’s Angels are finally looking at the view of the night. There are a few stars present in the view.

“Would you look at that view? There are many stars seeing in the night. I think these stars should be remembered they shine bright above the sky” said Jun.

“Yeah, it’s true that the stars can only be viewed at night. I wonder if all of us will make a wish” said Kurumi.

“Great idea, Kurumi. Now, who should go first?” said Kyō.

“I should start first, Kyō” said Yuzuha.

“Okay, you go first, Yuzuha” said Kyō.

“Okay!” said Yuzuha. Yuzuha feels thrilled to make a wish. “I wish that I will be more beautiful like my other friends did.”

“Wow! That’s so amazing, Yuzuha!” said Jun.

“Yeah! It’s my wish that one day I want to be more admired as a grown-up girl” said Yuzuha.

“Yeah, it’s true, Yuzuha. Now, who’s next?” said Sakura.

“I will!” said Kōme.

“Kiriyume, it’s your turn. Look at the star and make a wish” said Kyō.

“Okay!” said Kōme. Kōme takes a deep breath before making her wish. “I wish that I will become a great illustrator for Hibiki and the girls.”

“Wow! You included us, Kōme” said Kurumi.

“Yeah! I want to continue drawing illustrations for Hibiki and the girls, so that they will impress me every time I make a new album cover” said Kōme.

“Good for you, Kiriyume. I hope that you will be able to keep up the good work in drawing new cover albums for us” said Kyō.

“Okay!” said Kōme. Kōme pats on Kurumi’s shoulders. “You’re up, Kurumi.”

“Okay, Kōme!” said Kurumi. Kurumi is pressured to make a wish because she wants to be with her brother’s side. “I wish that I will be gentler to my brother and my brother will always follow my lead.”

“Kurumi-chan, I believe that you’re more determined to be with your brother” said Jun.

“Yeah, Jun. I want to make a wish for me and my brother because I want to take an inspiration from you” said Kurumi.

Jun smiles to Kurumi. “I think you’re awesome and cute.”

“Yeah, I’m glad that you’ll always be respectful to Kyō” said Sora.

“Of course, Sora! I can’t wait to be more thrilled to see my brother being a good guy after all!” said Kurumi.

“Sakura, you’re next” said Nozomi.

“Oh, yeah” said Sakura. Sakura looks at the view of the sky before making her wish. “I wish that I will keep practicing on my fishing skills when Kyō and I will go finishing in the coast.”

“I guess you should be more focused on catching a large fish, Sakura” said Kyō.

“That’s right, Kyō. It’s my long-term plan that I want to get because that’s my favorite type of fish I want to get” said Sakura.

“Sounds like you’re very good in fishing, Sakura. I’m sure that you’ll be able to catch more fish, so that you will make a seafood platter just for me” said Yuzuha.

“Okay, Yuzuha! I will promise to cook a seafood platter for you” said Sakura.

“That’s great!” said Yuzuha.

“We’re down to three more members of the group to make a wish. Let’s start with… how about Sora?” said Kōme.

“Hum, here I come!” said Sora. Sora starts to take a deep breath and after ten seconds, she makes a wish. “I wish that I will not be bored anytime I practice.”

“You should be more careful on that, Sora. I believe that you will be able to get improved with your drumming if you can’t be bored again” said Kurumi.

“Well, I will try my best, Kurumi. Just don’t make me pressured too much” said Sora.

“It’s my turn!” said Nozomi. Nozomi starts making a wish while looking at the sky. “I wish that I will find a responsible guy who wants to inspire himself for his poetry works.”

“I think she’s referring to you, Hibiki” said Kōme, who smiles to Kyō.

“Ah, yeah, you’re right, Kiriyume” said Kyō.

“Wow! I can’t believe that you’re focusing on Kyō, Nozomi” said Jun.

“Yep. Kyō is the guy that I want to inspire for his optimistic personality and all of his poetry works are good enough to make a song. Jun, you should make a wish for you and Kyō” said Nozomi.

“Ah, yeah, Zomi-chan. I can’t let you down because I admire everyone including Kyō…” said Jun. Jun would look at the stars before making a wish. “…but it’s important that I have a wish for every one of us. So, that’s why I wish that everyone will always get along together as one family of angels and also, I wish that I will be more respectful to anyone I met.”

“Jun, I believe that you’re the leader of your group and you should help your friends by giving advice to everyone including us” said Kōme.

“That would make you more admired to be an ambivalent angel” said Kurumi.

“Yeah, that’s what I want to make everyone smile without hesitation. I always thank everyone for your compliments and your admirations because you’re all innocent and courageous” said Jun.

“You’re right, Jun. That’s what our group wants to be in the future because we’re growing together as one family of angels” said Sakura.

“Yeah, Saku-chan. It feels like everybody always bringing smiles to their friends and we should keep doing it like the way we did to Tomoka and other friends around the Bravehearts and the Family of Angels” said Jun.

“Yeah! To have a brighter future, we should be braver and innocent to prepare the unexpected” said Nozomi.

“On the bright side, everyone knows that we’re Jun’s Angels and we shall take actions to make them smile and enjoy” said Yuzuha.

“Hum, the thrill of excitement is the way of gratitude and we can never lose that secret” said Sora.

“Yeah! We should all thank everyone from getting the dreams come true and when the time has come to grow together as one family of angels, we’ll always work together as a team. Right, everyone?” said Jun.

“Yeah!” said the members of Jun’s Angels.

“Jun, it’s so beautiful to view the sky at night because this is what we’re always gonna do if we want to grow together as one family of angels” said Kyō.

“That’s right, Kyō-san! We can’t lose our hearts in our group because we’re together to become ambivalent and innocent. We’ll ready for the future, everyone” said Jun.

“Yeah!” said the members of Jun’s Angels.

“Now, let’s keep our wishes a secret and we’ll celebrate tomorrow at the Nukui Residence!” said Jun.

“Yeah!” said the members of Jun’s Angels. With the decision has been finalized, Jun’s Angels will finally relocate from the Little Wing Orphanage to the Nukui Residence in order to allow Masayoshi Sawatari and his group of friends to find orphans to live in the Little Wing Orphanage. Tomorrow, they will go back to Den-en-chōfu, so that they will move out from the Little Wing Orphanage to go to their new home at the Nukui Residence. Hopefully, Jun’s Angels will hold their celebration there once they finish packing their stuff from their previous homes and move to their new home.

[Sherwin Riga]

TEASER: Preview of Omake #2

As last October 21 (Sunday) was Nozomi Momijidani’s birthday, I made a teaser for the second omake of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts. The second omake is the crossover of Ro-Kyu-Bu!, Tenshi no 3P!, Eromanga Sensei and Gochūmon Wa Usagi Desu Ka? The full version of the second omake will be posted on November 21 (Wednesday). The synopsis of the omake is the Bravehearts meet the staff members of the Ribbon House at the Nagatsuka Restaurant. Saki Nagatsuka, Masami Fujii, Ran Mikazuki, Risa Nagasaki and Mieko Masuda are planning to create a blueprint for the new restaurant that is located near the gate of the Misawa Resort Hotel. This will lead to Cocoa Hoto and her friends trying to help them in creating a blueprint for the new restaurant, which may be opened very soon. So, sit back, relax and enjoy reading the teaser of the second omake!:)

Saki, Masami, the members of the Dazzled Hearts and The Wisteria Club and the staff members of the Rabbit House would go to the compound of the Misawa Resort Hotel where they stop by at the construction area of a new restaurant located near the gate of the Misawa Resort Hotel. The new restaurant would be located beside the Coastwave Restaurant near the gate of the Misawa Resort Hotel.

“So, is that the restaurant you’re owning, Masami?” asked Cocoa.

“Yep. This restaurant will be owned by both Dazzled Hearts and The Wisteria Club. If it’s completed by the end of the year, Saki and I will let my friends working at that place along with Saki’s friends. However, in order to do that, there will be a new group that we’re going to make once my family and Saki’s family will agree to own that place as well” said Masami.

“Wow! That makes me wonder about our place when it was constructed 40 years ago. My grandfather owned the Rabbit House and worked there until he gave his ownership to my father when he is old” said Chino.

“For me, Chino and Rize, it’s perfect to work at our restaurant and we want to make our place more attractive to anyone in our town in Meguro” said Cocoa.

“As you’re saying, you will work there at that place if it’s complete, right?” asked Rize.

Masami nods to Rize. “Yep. That’s where my friends and I will work there.”

“Yeah, but one question, Masami. If you’re going to work at that restaurant, who will work at your restaurant?” said Rize.

“Uh, my sister will work there along with her friends at Sushi Fujii. My father said that without me, my sister will work there as a cook. I will work there at some time to make time working on cooking sushi” said Masami.

“I will be delighted that you should work there one day in the Golden Week. The Golden Week is a holiday break for work and school. I hope that you will be able to make more products for your customers in your business” said Rize.

“Okay!” said Masami.

“What are you planning for that restaurant? Are you gonna make this place a café or a house restaurant?” asked Chiya.

“Well, I don’t know what to say, Chiya-san. Masami and I are planning to make a restaurant that will be served for different kinds of Japanese cuisine. It also includes rice dishes and sushi” said Saki.

“Interesting kind of theme you had, Saki-chan. I think you and your friends must start working on creating a blueprint for your new restaurant. So, what’s gonna be?” said Syaro.

“The proposed restaurant will serve any kind of Japanese cuisine, but the specialty for that will be rice burgers, okonomiyakis and rice dishes. Masami, Risa and Mieko agreed to this because they like rice dishes” said Saki.

“Our proposed restaurant is supposedly a rice dish restaurant, but we want to make something interesting by offering some sushi and rice bowls” said Masami.

“Even we’re planning to do flavored teas that my family owned” said Mieko.

“My family owned a café that offers any kind of coffee drinks available like frappes or iced coffee” said Risa.

“Wow! There are a lot of specialties you have in your restaurant. That’s nice. For that, I believe that the first thing you must think of is that your restaurant should be specialized in your heart. Of course, since you four are having family businesses, then you will brainstorm your ideas on what specialty will the customers want in your restaurant” said Chiya.

“Uh, rice dishes and sushi aren’t different to each other, but platter specials would be fitted to make the customers attracting to that” said Saki.

“Yeah, that’s a great idea, Saki! I mean, our experiment had been worked on when we’re trying to convince our friends to come and eat the Rice Platter Special” said Masami.

“Well, if we’re going to do that in our own restaurant, then the customers will love this!” said Saki.

“Oh, I think you’re right about that, Saki!” said Masami.

“What is your specialty for your restaurant?” asked Syaro.

“We will make platter specials for them to choose any choices they want. Of course, they will know that we serve some delicious food!” said Saki.

“Okay, that would fine with me, Saki. Aside from that, what other specialties will you offer?” said Syaro.

“Oh, what about this? A blend mix of fruit-flavored drinks. My friends have their own fruits available from their homes. Maybe, they will make them to create flavored drinks” said Masami.

“Of course, there’s no sugar needed” said Risa.

“Interesting choice you have, Masami. I like that idea!” said Rize.

“Really? Wow! That’s nice! Thanks, Rize!” said Masami.

“You’re welcome, Masami-san. Our café served flavored drinks including flavored teas in different flavors. Our café not only offer coffee drinks, but anything else like bread, tea and pastry” said Rize.

“Ah, that’s interesting, Rize! I think that our restaurant should be more focused on making flavored drinks that are made from fresh fruits in different areas in the country” said Saki.

“In the Sushi Fujii, we offer iced milk tea for the dessert. That’s our main specialty for desserts aside from sushi dishes” said Masami.

“When you go to any restaurant in the Suzuran Shopping Street, there are a lot of specialties available and if you buy one specialty, you will be impressed with the taste” said Mieko.

“When we’re planning to own a new restaurant, I thought it would be owned by just Masami and Saki, but the two groups, the Dazzled Hearts and The Wisteria Club, have wanted to own it as well to make sure that they will get shares with Saki and Masami. Unlike the Coastwave Restaurant, the new restaurant will be owned by a group of friends from the two groups” said Risa.

“Usually in business, there are rights to own the restaurant and the main priority of owning the restaurant is family. Friends can consider own a restaurant through a consortium” said Mocha.

“Just like the Rabbit House. Takahiro and his daughter Chino were working together at the place” said Aoyama.

“On the other hand, sometimes you can hang out with your friends at your place. They will work with you at your place to cook their food and give those to the customers” said Rin.

“There are many friends I met in Meguro where they go to our place to enjoy their relaxation. If you want to make the restaurant to have many shares, I can invite them” said Cocoa.

“That would be nice, Cocoa-san. I have a feeling that Saki and Masami should agree to own the proposed restaurant and then, their friends, that’s us, will be own the restaurant equally. If there’s an expectation to add another owner to have the rights of the restaurant, it would be partners from both families” said Risa.

“Oh, that’s very nice idea, Risa. I mean, this restaurant shouldn’t be forgotten about the ownership, but we have to work together, right?” said Saki.

“Yeah!” said Risa.

“I’m sure that you will be able to work on building a relationship between the two groups, and then, once it’s settled, you and Masami should assign your friends to different positions you make” said Chino.

“Okay!” said Saki and Masami.

“Since your groups need to form an external group, I believe that you need to create that once you will have many friends to meet and then, work on your goals” said Megu.

“I bet that it would be nice to form a hierarchy when you’re going to assign your friends to different positions in the restaurant” said Maya.

“I agree, Maya. There are a lot of things we must work on including family business. The purpose of creating a restaurant needs to have a proper brainstorming in make these ideas interested. That’s why Saki, Risa, Mieko and I are going to build our strategy to make the restaurant attracted to the residents of the Misawa Resort Hotel and its compound” said Masami.

“Once the restaurant will be completed, we will work together to increase our investment on our family and Masami’s family. The Dazzled Hearts and The Wisteria Club are interested in food and they like to meet and greet friends inside and outside school. As of now, the Dragons of Ōta was in hiatus and everyone in the youth are calling their efforts to revive the group. You see, in business, there are many times that we can negotiate their demands to make them happy. I believe that my group and Masami’s group will form its own external group to build their relationship and reach their goal” said Saki.

“We can’t just leave them of their own. It’s better to work hard, so that they will save their money for their needs. While the families of Ran, Risa and Mieko are rich, most of the members from both Dazzled Hearts and The Wisteria Club have their families spend their middle-sized finance to make sure that they will save their money. It’s safe to say that the two groups will be able to get help from different groups” said Akira.

“That’s why they stay in a condominium just near the Downtown Nishina Fountain Square with their families. For Saki and Masami, they have spent their time with their friends at the Misawa Resort Hotel. On the other hand, Akira and I were staying in the Suzuran Shopping Street separately, however, we decided to visit the condominium if it’s weekend” said Masako.

“So, if we’re going to start working on building a new external group, then we’ll work on it!” said Saki.

“That’s good, Saki-chan! We will be ready to work on building some strategies to make a better restaurant community!” said Cocoa.

“We will support your ideas to make sure that we will create new partnership between all of us!” said Chino.

“A partnership can be more perfect to make your plans for the proposed restaurant would be more interesting!” said Rize.

“Yeah! And if the Dragons of Ōta would be revived soon, then we’ll make partnerships with them, so that we’ll be ahead of creating an external group! They will be partnering with us if they’re agreed to our plans” said Saki.

“That would be better once Subaru and his friends have successfully worked on reviving the Dragons of Ōta!” said Masami.

“Yeah! Hopefully, when we’ll meet each other again, we’ll start working on our plans to build a better restaurant community!” said Chino.

“And then, when the restaurant is officially opened, everyone will be thrilled eat there from appetizers to desserts!” said Cocoa.

“Yeah!” said Rize, Chiya, Syaro, Maya, Megu, Mocha, Aoyama, Rin, Saki, Masami and the members of the Dazzled Hearts and The Wisteria Club.

“Let’s run together in a new restaurant once this restaurant will be completed!” said Saki.

“Yeah!” said Masami, Ran, Risa, Mieko, Akira, Masako and the members of the Dazzled Hearts and The Wisteria Club.

Saki, Masami, the members of the Dazzled Hearts and The Wisteria Club and the staff members of the Rabbit House leave the construction area of the proposed restaurant.

“Saki and Masami, I hope that your plans will be pushed through once you and your friends start planning on building an organization for your restaurant” said Cocoa.

“Okay!” said Saki and Masami.

“We hope to see each other around, Saki and Masami! If you need something for help, then contact us. We’ll be ready to work on your plans!” said Chino.

“Sure, we will!” said Saki and Masami.

“Okay!” said Ran, Risa and Mieko.

“Bye, Saki! Bye, Masami! Bye, everyone!” said Cocoa, Chino, Rize, Chiya, Syaro, Maya, Megu, Mocha, Aoyama and Rin as they are waving their hands goodbye to Saki, Masami and their friends before heading to the left.

Saki, Masami, Ran, Risa, Mieko and the members of the Dazzled Hearts and The Wisteria Club wave their hands goodbye to Cocoa and her friends. “Bye, Cocoa! Bye, Chino! Bye, everyone! We’ll see you around!”

When Cocoa and her friends left, Saki, Masami and their friends are looking at the starts in the sky as it is nighttime.

“Wow! Look at that stars!” said Masami.

“Yep. They’re so shiny and brightly!” said Saki.

“Maybe, if we can wish upon a star, hopefully we will fulfill our dreams come true” said Mieko.

“Yeah, Mieko-san! I guess that we should make a wish” said Masami.

“Sure!” said Saki, Ran, Risa and Mieko.

“I think that we can do one wish together!” said Ran.

“Oh, that’s a great idea!” said Risa.

“Well, let’s give it a try!” said Saki.

Saki, Masami, Ran, Risa and Mieko would make their wish together. “We wish that once the restaurant is completed, everyone will be enjoyed visiting our place and eat there!”

Masami would ask Saki, Ran, Risa and Mieko after making their wish. “Well, what do you think?”

“Ah, that’s very nice, Masami!” said Mieko.

“That’s a good wish!” said Ran.

“It’s good to make a wish with your heart” said Risa.

“Yeah! I hope that we will be able to work together as a team to create new partnership with our friends in Keishin!” said Saki.

“You got it, Saki! Let’s head back home!” said Masami.

“Okay!” said Saki, Ran, Risa, Mieko and the members of the Dazzled Hearts and The Wisteria Club. The proposed restaurant is the ultimate dream for Saki, Masami, the Dazzled Hearts and The Wisteria Charm. They’re planning to create an external group just like the Prestigious Wind Ōta, so that they will start working with Cocoa and her friends. Hopefully, they’ll be ready to run the restaurant once it’s completed soon.

I’m delighted that I have achieved another milestone and I hope that I will achieve another milestone soon. My next goal is to reach 25,000 view counts. So, let’s keep this view count counting!:) Now, for tonight’s update, a new group of friends has been invited by Hinata, Hanako Itō and Yūto Iwase where they will be organizing a bowling activity with the Innocent Charm. They are known as the Verdant Dawn, a team that has great use of speed and acceleration led by Akisada Shimoda, also known as the ‘The Kasuragi Cedar’. Who will prevail in the bowling activity? Is it the Innocent Charm or the Verdant Dawn? We’ll find out as here comes tonight’s update, Chapter 89! Also, it’s two days after Yūko Ōno’s birthday and tonight's update will be dedicated to her. Yūko Ono is one of my favorite voice actresses and is the voice actress of Jun Gotō from Tenshi no 3P!/Angel’s 3Piece! and Hiyo Yukino from Ongaku Shōjo. Happy belated birthday, Yūko and enjoy reading Chapter 89!:)

After completing the search of the members of the New Camellian Dragons, the Bravehearts are now focusing on finding the associates of the New Camellian Dragons. As seven groups were found by the Bravehearts, they were four groups remaining to complete another search. Hinata, Hanako Itō and Yūto Iwase would invite a group of students to a bowling activity with the Innocent Charm at the Recreational Center of the Misawa Resort Hotel. Entering the Verdant Dawn, led by Akisada Shimoda, a former class president in section 6-C in the Kasuragi Elementary School. Akisada Shimoda became friends with Hanako Itō and Yūto Iwase due to their energetic and courageous personalities. Akisada has a special move known as the Verdant Dawn Ignition and his nickname is The Kasuragi Cedar due to his flexibility and vertical compatibility. As both sides will prepare to play bowling, they will be playing with their speed and acceleration. As far as Akisada is ready to roll the ball, he’s ready to take out the Innocent Charm. However, Rei Kanazawa is not worrying about Akisada’s speed and she’s ready to show her strength and help the Innocent Charm to win the match. It would be the battle of speed and acceleration as members from both teams will roll the rolling bowl with the use of their speed and acceleration to knock over the bowling pins at the end of the lane.

VOLUME 6: “PRESTIGIOUS AND DETERMINATION”
CHAPTER 89: “THE VERDANTS AND THE CHARMS”​

“The New Camellian Dragons’ two-day stay is finally over, but we decide to let Hanako Itō and Yūto Iwase stay with us for another night because they want to get along with Mimi and Asumi. When they talked to Mimi and Asumi at Mimi’s room, Hanako and Yūto said that while the Dragons of Ōta was still existed, there are many factions being formed, thanks to the expansion of their membership after its first year. Major factions in the Dragons of Ōta include Subaru Hasegawa’s Luminous Camellia, Noboru Takeuchi’s Newborn Dragons and Ichiei Morisaka’s Blue Flare.” Hinata narrates the introduction while she is talking with the Bravehearts at the living room.

“While the major factions are led by mostly Subaru’s colleagues from Kasuragi Elementary School, other factions are created by later members of the Dragons of Ōta. The New Camellian Dragons was formed before the dissolution of the Dragons of Ōta. Almost all groups have participated at the Lost Summer where the Dragons of Ōta made a one-week reunion during the summer last year. Right now, rumors circulated that the speculation of reviving the Dragons of Ōta increases after Noboru Takeuchi partnered with the head coaches of different high schools in southeastern Tokyo to schedule practice matches, in preparing for the Young Players Cup.” Sora Fukutomi narrates where she reiterates what Hinata said.

“By the way, tomorrow will be the beginning of the club registration week in Keishin Academy. I believe that the Bravehearts are ready to register to their new clubs and while Hinata and her best friends will be joining the middle school girls’ basketball team, Kagetsu and her teammates will be returning to the elementary school girls’ basketball team. But today is Sunday, a fine day that we will not going to worry about. Jun and the Angels will be leaving the mansion for a while as they will be going to relocate their home base from the Little Wing Orphanage to the Nukui Residence. Also, on this day, Hanako and Yūto will be leaving the mansion later in the afternoon. As for our group, the Innocent Charm, we will be joining with our friend Hinata as we’re going to have an activity for today at the mansion. So, here’s what the chapter started.” Rei Kanazawa finishes the introduction as she is the leader of the Innocent Charm.

The next day, Hinata, Rei, Sora Fukutomi, Sora Kaneshiro, Megumi, Hanako Itō and Yūto are organizing the activity for the Innocent Charm at the Recreational Center. That day is also Kira Kakimoto’s birthday and Kira is ready to get her joyful day meaningful.

Innocent Charm: Composed of three teams
Team Kanazawa: Rei Kanazawa, Kazuya Uehara, Yoshitsugu Kimura, Kana Uchida, Ai Ohara, Kira Kakimoto, Misaki Nagaoka, Akari Tanigawa, Kumi Sagami, Akiho Kurimoto, Akira Tayama and Shōjirō Miyashita
Team Fukutomi: Sora Fukutomi, Koji Nakagaichi, Sakura Uehara, Daiki Mitsugi, Ryōta Inoue, Machiko Kogure, Seiichi Abe, Shintarō Ōsumi, Kenta Achiba, Shinobu Hirasawa, Hajime Shimizu and Sayaka Akatsuka
Pink Nobles: Ryōta Nakamura, Kiyoshi Toshima, Akira Shimojō, Wataru Nakai, Mie Furutani, Yumi Nakamura, Hikaru Sakamoto, Ichirō Furukawa, Sakiko Katsuragi, Takaya Noburizato, Yoshimaru Iijima, Eiji Uehara, Tsubasa Horihata and Naohiro Imayoshi
Staff: Yuichi Uchida, Kumi Takamura, Seijirō Hakamada, Suzuko Hakamada and Kuni Hakamada

“Today’s activity will be a bowling game between the Innocent Charm and a team composed of my own. It will be a relay match where each team will take turn of their players once the frame is finished” said Hinata.

“We’re not doing the training for a while because we already have that yesterday. I will confirm that another training will be held on Wednesday, this time to be joined by Mimi, Kōme, Nami, Sakura and Jun. For now, Sora will be here for a while until noon because she will go back to Den-en-chōfu to move her home from the Little Wing Orphanage to the Nukui Residence” said Rei.

“Hum, I will be joining with Hinata and her team for today’s activity. Don’t worry, everyone. I will be back tomorrow because I’m going to be busy for the rest of the day” said Sora.

“Why are you busy today, Sora?” asked Koji Nagakaichi.

“I will go back home to fix my stuff to move out from the Little Wing. I will be going to Kyō-nii’s home alongside Jun, Nozomi and Sakura” said Sora Kaneshiro.

“Sora, I hope that you will celebrate your new home later tonight and I can’t wait to feel your excitement to stay with Kyō since you’re now moving from the Little Wing” said Shinobu Hirasawa.

“Of course, Shinobu. I don’t want to worry about Kyō’s home because if no one lives in that house, maybe there’s a chance that this house is dormant. So, I will feel my excitement to stay with Kyō at his house” said Sora Kaneshiro.

“I’m very happy to hear that news, Sora! Don’t forget that you will be busy with your current assignment” said Hajime Shimizu.

“Yeah, it’s not going to be a rush hour to finish an assignment for a day. I will make sure that I will finish my assignment on time before the deadline reaches tomorrow” said Sora Kaneshiro.

“Hey, Sora, I wonder if we will visit your new home. Could you accept my invitation to visit your new home?” said Kenta Achiba.

“Sure, I can, Kenta” said Sora Kaneshiro.

“What a coincidence that the five of us are connected with Jun’s Angels because we’re fans of yours, Sora” said Shintarō Ōsumi.

“Ah, I can’t believe that you’re delighted to hear our songs. I hope that when the anniversary concert comes, we’ll bring some more melody and rhythm that you’ll never heard before” said Sora Kaneshiro.

“I can’t wait to see your group performing your favorite songs that we always love all the time” said Sayaka Akatsuka.

“Of course, no worries, Sayaka. I’ll try my best to work on composing new songs for the anniversary concert” said Sora Kaneshiro.

“If today’s your moving day, then good luck with your new home, Sora. One day, we will visit to your new home once our master, Hinata, will give us some free time to spend the day” said Akira Tayama.

“You can visit to our new home, Akira. Kyō can’t be afraid of anyone because he knows anything about music. I think you have a bright future with your singing skills along with your friends. I’m sure that you will hear our songs while visiting our new home” said Sora Kaneshiro.

“Okay!” said Kumi Sagami, Akiho Kurimoto, Akira Tayama, Shōijirō Miyashita, Shintarō Ōsumi, Kenta Achiba, Shinobu Hirasawa, Hajime Shimizu and Sayaka Akatsuka.

Yuichi Uchida and Kumi Takamura smile after seeing Shinobu and his friends getting interested in visiting Sora’s new home in Den-en-chōfu.

“Those guys are living together in a neighborhood area in Kamata even they came from different elementary schools. Hajime came from Shiromidai alongside Sayaka and Akira. The rest of the group are coming from the section 6-C and 6-D. Shinobu Hirasawa didn’t join any team prior to his joining to our group” said Yuichi Uchida.

“I believe that you’re right about Shinobu. Shinobu is a cousin of Sora Kaneshiro through his mother. His mother’s name is Satomi Hirasawa. She is said to be resided in Den-en-chōfu alongside her husband, Akito Hirasawa” said Kumi Takamura.

“Akiho Kurimoto came from section 6-C and he’s very close with Ai Ohara and Misaki Nagaoka. Kumi, Shōjirō and Shintarō are common friends with Hinata during their fourth grade and Hinata chose them to replace the members who joined the Pink Nobles” said Yuichi.

“Yuichi, what the name of the group would be?” asked Kumi Takamura.

“I don’t know, Kumi, but I believe that they’re compared to Jun’s Angels. The main difference is that those nine members are fans of Jun’s Angels. Due to their admiration to the songs they hear all day, they should name their group as ‘Haru-Shi’” said Yuichi.

“Haru-Shi? That name is awesome! They should represent the group of students who were mostly involved in music. They’re ready to join the Music Club as soon as they’re officially signing their names in that club” said Seijirō Hakamada.

“Ah, I think you’re correct, Seiji-san” said Kumi Takamura.

“The Music Club should be fitted for them and hopefully, they will have an act to sing when Jun and her group will perform the anniversary concert during the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Yuichi.

“Yeah!” said Seijirō and Kumi Takamura.

“Okay, everyone! Here is the roster of the teams for today’s activity. For the Innocent Charm, they are Kazuya Uehara, Kana Uchida, Koji Nakagaichi, Machiko Kogure, Yumi Nakamura, Hikaru Sakamoto, Ichirō Furukawa and Sakiko Katsuragi” said Suzuko Hakamada.

“On the other hand, our group will be composed of Hinata Hakamada, Rei Kanazawa, Sora Fukutomi, Sora Kaneshiro, Megumi Kadokawa, Hanako Itō, Yūto Iwase, Shinobu Hirasawa and Kumi Sagami” said Kuni Hakamada.

“As what Sore-chan said earlier, she won’t be staying with us for long because she’s going back to her home at the Little Wing Orphanage before heading to her new home at the Nukui Residence” said Hinata.

“That’s right, Hinata. In order to find out how many points accommodated for each team, the five of us will be officiating the match” said Seijirō.

“Now, let the match begins!” said Suzuko.

Meanwhile, at the garden in the Misawa Resort Hotel, a group of students are excited to meet Hanako Itō and Yūto Iwase. The name of the group is ‘Verdant Dawn’ and its leader is none other than former class president of section 6-3 Akisada Shimoda.

Verdant Dawn: Akisada Shimoda, Misaki Shimaki, Masataka Eguchi, Kiyoji Nishimura, Miyabi Fujita, Risa Yatsuzuka, Miyako Kasamatsu, Kuriko Matsuba, Akie Sasaki, Kazusa Mabuchi, Karin Maekawa, Shinjō Okamoto and Rikichi Nakano

“I’m so determined to visit this place, Akisada! I never went there before!” said Kiyoji Nishimura.

“Yeah, me too, Kiyoji! I never seen that place before ever since I was born in Yaguchi” said Akisada Shimoda.

“Well, I visited that place before when Hanako invited me to spend a summer vacation alongside my classmates in my former class” said Misaki Shimaki.

“Yeah, it was a fun place to swim and see the view of the beachfront, but now, I can’t to see how this place goes after I visited this place last summer” said Miyabi Fujita.

“The Misawa Resort Hotel is divided into two parts: the mansion area and the hotel area. The Recreational Center is located at the back of the hotel. While the hotel is visited by a few guests when it comes to non-vacation period, people use the Recreational Center as a venue for training grounds of different programs from different schools in Ōta including the Keishin Academy” said Masataka Eguchi.

“Yeah, I believe that the Recreational Center is suited for local competitions in Ōta where there are many thrills and actions taking place in that area” said Kuruko Matsuba.

“That’s true, everyone. And since we’re going to enter this place, we should look for Hanako and Yūto. I think they’re having an activity there” said Akisada.

“Yeah” said the members of the Verdant Dawn.

Back at the bowling room, the match between Team Hakamada and the Innocent Charm continues with each player had performed their skills in bowling. The montage shows every player doing their styles as they roll the bowling ball with the use of their speed and acceleration. The ball would knock over the bowling pins at the end of the lane and each player will get their score, depends on how they score.

At the end of the match, Team Hakamada won the match, thanks to four straight strikes and a near-sweep in the last frame. Hinata and the members of Team Hakamada drink their water from their water bottle.

Team Hakamada: Hinata Hakamada, Rei Kanazawa, Sora Fukutomi, Sora Kaneshiro, Megumi Kadokawa, Hanako Itō, Yūto Iwase, Shinobu Hirasawa and Kumi Sagami

“Whew! I can’t believe that we won the match!” said Hinata.

“Yeah! It feels like we’re getting a great job in pulling four strikes in a row, thanks to Fukutomi-san, Hanako-san, Shinobu-san and Sora-san” said Rei.

“That’s right, Rei! I’m feeling motivated with the way we performed with the use of speed and acceleration” said Sora Fukutomi.

“Hum, nothing is impossible for us because we’re greatly innocent like the Bravehearts do” said Sora Kaneshiro.

“I’m feeling motivated when I’m about to release the ball from my hands and I believe that our scores are looking great!” said Kumi Sagami.

“Our team made a great effort in scoring large points in the final frame, but thank goodness, we would have a sweep in the final frame when Megumi scores a nine in the third and final score in the final frame” said Hanako Itō.

“I think we should try our best to improve our performance in using our speed when we’re playing in the court. Right, everyone?” said Megumi Kadokawa.

“Yeah!” said Hinata, Rei, Sora Fukutomi, Sora Kaneshiro, Hanako, Yūto, Shinobu and Kumi Sagawa.

“Hey, Hinata, how about another round?” asked Koji.

“Well, our team feels tired right now, but it appears that someone can take our place first before we’re going to have a match between the two of us” said Hinata.

“Oh, I understand, Hinata” said Koji.

“Koji. Is your team tired?” said Hanako.

“Not all our members are tired, Hanako. Maybe the other members of the Innocent Charm should get their chance to compete in another friendly match” said Koji.

“Great idea, Koji! But if you must know, Yūto and I have formed a group with most of our members are good in bowling. They should be here right now” said Hanako.

“Well, who are they?” asked Koji.

“They are the Verdant Dawn of Ōmori” said Yūto.

Once Yūto said the name of his group, the Verdant Dawn appears with Akisada Shimoda entering to the bowling room, followed by his groupmates.

“Hanako! Yūto!” said Akisada.

“Akisada-sama! You’re finally here!” said Hanako.

“It’s so nice that you finally know that place” said Yūto.

“Of course, Yūto-san!” said Akisada.

Megumi appears to meet Akisada. “Wow! I can’t believe that you are friends with Hanako and Yūto. What a coincidence that you’re all here to visit this place!”

“Yep. Me, Hanako and Yūto usually become companions when we’re playing basketball together. I have an older sister, who is currently a third year middle school student in Kasuragi Middle School. She is responsible for letting me play basketball in our own yard in my home” said Akisada.

“Have you entered to this place before?” asked Megumi.

“Not yet, but Hanako and Yūto invited us to have their fun at the Recreational Center” said Akisada.

“It’s true that we’re currently doing an activity for the Innocent Charm” said Hinata.

“Our activity came from Sora Fukutomi, who is an avid bowling fan, because most of the members of the Innocent Charm loved to play bowling aside from doing arts and photography” said Hanako Itō.

“Since you’re all here, I think you will be ready to put your bowling gears as you’re all in for today’s match” said Yūto.

“If you’re ready to play for a bowling match, then you’ll wait for your opponent in this match” said Rei.

“Okay! We’re ready to take our action!” said Akisada and the members of the Verdant Dawn.

Before the second match is about begin, Hinata and the members of Team Hakamada would meet the members of the Innocent Charm to talk about the next match against the Verdant Dawn.

“Okay, listen up! The Verdant Dawn is ready to participate in the next match. That means, we’ll be picking members to compete against the Verdant Dawn” said Hinata.

“For those are already playing in the previous match, you aren’t allowed to be picked for this match. So, it’s open to anyone who can volunteer to represent the Innocent Charm for the next match” said Rei.

“Okay!” said the members of the Innocent Charm.

“Now, a group is composed of 10 members to represent as the opponents of the Verdant Dawn” said Hinata.

“Uh, I have a question, Hinata. Who the hell is the Verdant Dawn?” said Seiichi Abe.

“The Verdant Dawn is a team came from the Kasuragi Elementary School last year. Right now, some of their members have enrolled at the Kasuragi Middle School” said Hinata.

“The Verdant Dawn is focused on speed and acceleration. In case you have wondered, Akisada Shimoda is the leader of the group and is known as the ‘The Kasuragi Cedar’. His vertical is very high, and he can able to dunk the ball with his windmill dunk” said Megumi.

“Akisada’s groupmates are very good in speed and acceleration as well because they have performed both ‘windy’ and ‘brave’ moves. I’m sure you’ll be familiar with them once you’re going to face them in a match” said Shinobu.

“It’s time to determine the members of the ten-man group, who will face the Verdant Dawn in a bowling match” said Sora Kaneshiro.

Hinata puts all papers in a secret box where the names are written in the paper. Hinata and the members of Team Hakamada start the process in finding members to form the ten-man group.

Rei starts reading the names that they are going to join the ten-man group. “First, we have Kazuya Uehara.”

Megumi picks the paper from the secret box to determine the second member of the group. “It’s going to be Mie Furutani will be joining with Kazuya for the next match!”

Yūto would pick the paper form the secret box to determine the third member of the group. “The next person to join is Yoshimaru Iijima.”

Sora Fukutomi picks the paper from the secret box to determine the fourth member of the group. “Okay, so it’s even right now. The next to join is Sakura Uehara.”

Shinobu picks the paper from the secret box before points to Seiichi Abe. “Okay, it will be you, Seiichi Abe. You’ll be joining with the other four to join the group.

“Now, we’re down to only five remaining members to form a group, so that they will participate in the next match” said Hinata.

Hanako Itō picks the paper from the secret box to determine the sixth member of the group. “Okay, the next to join the group will be Kenta Achiba.”

Kenta raises his fists, happily joining the group. “Yes!”

Hinata picks the paper from the secret box to determine the seventh member of the group. “Oh, I guess Ai Ohara will be joining the group!”

“Wow! It seems that it’s time for me to step up for the Innocent Charm!” said Ai Ohara as she leaves her seat to join with her teammates.

Sora Kaneshiro picks the paper from the secret box to determine the eighth member of the group. “Next, we have our birthday girl, Kira Kakimoto.”

“Hey, Kira! You’re now part of our group!” said Ai.

“Ah, I get it! What a great team I can join!” said Kira.

“You’re right about that, Kira” said Mie Furutani.

“I guess it’s time to step in with your bowling gear” said Misaki Nagaoka.

Kira nods to agree with Misaki. “Yep. I’m ready to play bowling for the first time. It feels like I never played that game before, but I hope that I try hard.”

“We’re down to only two members left. Who will be the last two to join the group?” said Rei.

Kumi Sagami picks the paper from the secret box to determine the ninth member of the group. “Oh, I think it will be Misaki Nagaoka!”

Misaki Nagaoka stands up to join with Kira. “I can’t believe that we’re going to become groupmates for today’s match!”

“See, you’re more determined to join the group for the next match. Let’s try our best to win the match!” said Kira.

“Yeah!” said Misaki Nagaoka.

“As this group is about to be completed, there should be a leader who can take care of this group. Now, who’s going to be?” said Hinata. Hinata would pick the paper from the secret box to determine the leader and the final member of the group. “Okay, we have a big winner who can manage this group and that name is… Hajime Shimizu!”

Hajime Shimizu stands up to meet with her teammates who have been called by the members of Team Hakamada.

“Congratulations, Hajime! You’re going to become the leader of our group!” said Kenta Achiba.

“Wow! You’re now the leader of the group! I hope that you can have a better strategy to beat those members from the Verdant Dawn!” said Sakura Uehara.

Everyone else in Hajime’s group had acclaimed Hajime’s position as the leader of the group. Hajime smiles to her teammates. “That’s right, everyone! We can’t lose our hearts because we’re going to build a better strategy to win the match! Isn’t right, team?”

“Yes!” said Kazuya Uehara, Mie Futurani, Yoshimaru Iijima, Sakura Uehara, Seiichi Abe, Kenta Achiba, Ai Ohara, Kira Kakimoto and Misaki Nagaoka.

“Finally, it’s complete! Hopefully, we’re going to take out the Verdant Dawn with our twisted bonds being united as one! Let’s win the match, team!” said Hinata.

“Okay!” said Kazuya Uehara, Mie Futurani, Yoshimaru Iijima, Sakura Uehara, Seiichi Abe, Kenta Achiba, Ai Ohara, Kira Kakimoto, Misaki Nagaoka and Hajime Shimizu. Once the Innocent Charm is ready to battle against the Verdant Dawn, the members of the Verdant Dawn are now pressured and determined as they are ready to battle against the Innocent Charm.

“Mie gets the strike! She’s getting thrilled after seeing that happened!” said Yuichi.

“Yeah! I believe that the Innocent Charm gets an automatic ten-point bonus which will be added from the scores of the next frame!” said Kuni Hakamada.

The members of the Innocent Charm are happy to see a strike in the first frame.

“Great job, Mie! We’re getting a great start right here!” said Hajime.

“Yeah! My speed is getting higher the way I release the ball to the lane” said Mie.

“I hope that the other groupmates will do the same thing” said Ai Ohara.

“Of course, Ai! It will be depended on what the scores would be once all scores are summed up” said Hajime.

“Yeah, I agree with that, Hajime!” said Ai.

“I’m glad that we’re ready to dominate the match, but let’s see if Akie is going to get a strike as well” said Mie.

“Yeah” said Hajime, Ai and Kenta.

It’s Akie’s turn as she is preparing to release the ball and knock down the pins at the end of the lane. Akie didn’t hesitate herself as she manages to knock down all pins at the end of the lane.

“She’s scoring a strike as well!” said Hinata.

“Yeah, I believe that Akie is very adamant for her cautious personality” said Rei.

“It’s not gonna be easy for our team to call for challenge against the Verdant Dawn, but we’ll see if our group members have the upper hand to defeat the Verdies” said Hinata.

“Yeah, hopefully” said Rei while other members of Team Hinata approve by nodding.

Akie is happy to see her groupmates being delighted on her score, but Akie calms down for a bit. “I’m looking at the fact that we’re going to try our best to score many strikes in each frame, but if the Innocent Charm is keeping their admirations up, then we’ll repay them as long as we could.”

“Yeah, you’re right, Akie. I’m sure that this competition ain’t to be easy because we have the guts to defeat them!” said Kiyoji Nishimura.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Verdant Dawn.

The scoreboard shows both teams score a strike, but there’s no score yet for both sides. Seiichi Abe and Kiyoji Nishimura face each other for the second frame.

Seiichi goes first as he tries to go for a strike just like his teammate Mie and he releases the ball with his speed. The ball knocks down all pins and it’s a strike for the Innocent Charm.

“That’s two in a row! The Charm has doubled their scores, thanks to that strike!” said Seijirō.

Seiichi is delighted after his turn where the members of the Innocent Charm are congratulating Seiichi for the strike.

“Nice job, Seiichi! You’ll get a star after the match is over!” said Ai.

“Thanks, Ai! I’m feeling the fact that we’re almost getting 30 points for the first frame if Sakura gets the score of a strike as well!” said Seiichi.

“I guess we’re going to find out, but for now, the Verdies are going for the strike as well” said Ai.

“Well, that guy seems to be confident and I think he’s ready to take a roll” said Kazuya Uehara.

“Yep” said Seiichi.

It’s Kiyoji Nishimura’s to knock down the pins at the end of the lane. Kiyoji uses his acceleration as he releases the ball faster than his teammate Akie and his opponent Seiichi. The ball knocks down all pins and the Verdies are getting their strike.

“Whoohoo! It’s a strike, baby!” said Kiyoji.

The members of the Verdant Dawn give Kiyoji high five.

“I’m glad that you score a strike, Kiyoji. I believe that we’re getting a chance to get 30 points in the first frame if we will keep our chance of getting another strike in the next frame” said Akisada.

“Yeah, I’m totally thrilled when all pins are knocked down by my release. It feels like we’re hopefully going to make Miyako scoring a strike and the score for the first frame will be thirty points” said Kiyoji.

“That’s correct, Kiyoji. Our goal is get thirty points to get a big advantage to defeat our opponents. Also, we’re going to watch out for our opponents’ speed and acceleration” said Akisada.

“Yeah” said Kiyoji.

Meanwhile, in the camp of the Innocent Charm, the members of the Innocent Charm are worried after Kiyoji scored the strike.

“Well, they’re content, believing that they’re going to get thirty points as well. I guess that it’s time for the Ueharas to turn things up and hopefully, we’re going to get 30 points first before the Verdies do” said Hajime.

“Yep. I’m feeling content to be ready, Hajime. The Uehara cousins are ready to take out the Verdies and we’re going to take another strike!” said Sakura Uehara.

“Okay, then, now go get them, Sakura!” said Hajime.

“Good luck, Sakura!” said Yoshimaru Iijima.

“I hope that you’ll get more momentum!” said Kazuya.

Sakura Uehara smiles to the members of the Innocent Charm. “Okay!”

As Sakura Uehara and Miyako Kasamatsu enter to the front of the lane, Sakura will be knocking down the pins first.

“I’m so excited to see Sakura playing ten-pin bowling for the first time!” said Koji Nakagaichi.

“Yep. Sakura is the cousin of our fellow member Kazuya Uehara. Sakura’s father is the brother of Kazuya’s father. They are common to each other and they live together in the same house in Nishina” said Sora Fukutomi.

“I wonder what Sakura will do as she’s ready to release the ball with her quick ball handling” said Koji Nagakaichi.

“I’m sure she’s ready to score another strike and if she does, she will make our team scoring 30 points in the first frame, but I’m worrying about her opponent from the Verdant Dawn” said Sora Fukutomi.

“Yeah, I believe that Sakura should be ready to take out all pins with her speed. I guess she’s very convenient for her attributes of athleticism” said Koji Nagakaichi.

“I believe that she will take care of our team once she’s ready to score a strike” said Sora Fukutomi.

“Yeah” said Koji Nagakaichi.

Sakura Uehara gets the bowling ball before releasing it with her speed. As the ball is rolling down towards the bowling pins, it knocks down all pins. That’s three strikes in a row, also known as the turkey!

“Strike! The Innocent Charm is scoring its third strike!” said Yuichi.

“That’s right, Yuichi! Since the Charm gets three strikes in a row, the score for the first frame now will be 30 points!” said Kumi Takamura.

“Yeah!” said Yuichi.

“Great job, Sakura!” said Kazuya.

“You did what we expected! Three strikes in a row makes the score of the first frame becoming 30 points!” said Kira.

“You rock!” said Seiichi.

“Thanks, everyone! I’m finally getting a momentum to score another strike! That means, we’re getting thirty points!” said Sakura Uehara.

“That’s true, Sakura! Now that our team gets 30 points, we’re getting the lead!” said Kira.

“Yeah, Kira, but we have to watch out for the Verdant Dawn as my opponent is looking forward to responding a strike” said Sakura Uehara.

“Well, I guess she’s ready to take out the pins as well” said Megumi.

“Yeah, Megumi, but I’m sure that my opponent’s speed can’t match my own speed!” said Sakura Uehara.

“I hope she will, Sakura, but here goes your opponent” said Megumi.

“Oh, I’m not gonna pressure things out if she scores a strike” said Sakura Uehara.

“Yeah” said Megumi.

Miyako Kasamatsu takes a deep breath before she is ready to knock down all pins at the end of the lane. Miyako releases the ball and her speed is not like Sakura, but manages to score a strike, which allows the Verdies to score 30 points.

“Wow! The Verdies are getting 30 points as well!” said Kumi Sagawa.

“I guess that it’s worth 30 points after getting three strikes in a row. That’s gonna put the deadlock in the match” said Kenta Achiba.

Miyako Kasamatsu removes her sweat from her forehead. “I’m feeling good, everyone! We’re getting thirty points as well!”

“I think things are gonna be intense for us if we can keep scoring strikes in the following frames in the match” said Akisada.

“Yeah!” said Miyako. Miyako would talk to her teammates. “We better watch out for our opponents as they’re ready to score another strike!”

“Of course, Miyako!” said Shinjō Okamoto.

“They’re not gonna let things easy if they’re keeping the momentum!” said Kuriko Matsuba.

“I believe that it’s better to watch the scoreboard as this battle is getting serious right now” said Masataka.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Verdant Dawn.

“We’re not gonna be complicated, everyone. Let’s make sure that our opponents won’t get another 30 points in the second frame” said Miyako.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Verdant Dawn.

The next round is Kazuya Uehara vs. Masataka Eguchi.

Kazuya releases the ball and the ball knocks down all pins to score 30 points for the second frame. The members of the Innocent Charm are glad to get another 30 points in the match.

“Oh yeah! We score another strike, everyone! Now, it’s summing up to 60 points!” said Kazuya.

“Alright! Looks like we’re increasing our chances of getting another 30 points and now, we’re doing great in scoring another strike!” said Hajime.

“I guess that we’re not losing our sweat once we get the strike every frame. So, let’s get more momentum in the next frame!” said Kazuya.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Innocent Charm.

It’s Masataka Eguchi’s turn to knock down the bowling pins and Masataka does the high acceleration when he releases the ball from his hands. The ball knocks down all pins to score another 30 points.

“You’re awesome, Masataka!” said Kiyoji. Kiyoji and Masataka perform the fist bump gesture together.

“Alright!” said Kiyoji and Masataka once they finish performing the fist bump gesture.

At the end of the fourth round, both teams score 60 points, which is still a tie after the third round.

The next round is going to be Misaki Nagaoka vs. Kuriko Matsuba.

Misaki is able to get another strike for the Innocent Charm to add another 30 points.

“Nice release, Misaki! You rock!” said Kira.

“Oh yeah! We’re gaining more momentum after the strike!” said Ai.

“Thanks, girls! I’m feeling optimistic to keep our momentum for our team and now, we’re pushing further to score another 30 points in our scoresheet!” said Misaki.

“Yeah!” said Kira and Ai.

“Now, it’s the Verdies’ turn to put their hopes of getting another 30 points on the line” said Seijirō.

Kuriko is ready to score thirty points as she releases the ball from her hands and looks at the end of the lane. The ball knocks down all pins and the Verdant Dawn scores another 30 points.

“Oh yeah!” said the members of the Verdant Dawn.

“Give me five, Kuriko!” said Miyako. Kuriko does the high five to Miyako as the Verdant Dawn scores another 30 points.

“I feel motivated right now after we’re looking at the scoreboard” said Kuriko.

“Yeah, we’re tied with our team and our opponent score 90 points each” said Miyako.

“I’m so motivated to see that score, Kuriko and Miyako. Things are going to be more serious once we’re heading to the next frame” said Masataka.

“Yeah. Hopefully, we’re going to keep our momentum to score another strike and we’ll make sure that our opponent’s streak comes to an end” said Miyako.

“Of course, Miyako!” said Kurko and Masataka.

The round begins with Yoshimaru Iijima gets the turn to knock down the bowling pins. On the other hand, Shinjō Okamoto is observing Yoshimaru’s use of speed and acceleration.

“Let’s see if Yoshimaru gets his speed up or down when he releases the ball” said Shinjō.

Yoshimaru releases the ball and his speed is higher just like his teammates. The ball knocks all bowling pins to score the sixth strike for the Innocent Charm.

“Unbelievable! He did the Relentless Handling move. He’s very quick to use his hands faster” said Ryōta.

“Yeah, I guess you’re right, Ryōta. He is very good in holding the ball all the time, even he uses every ball in any ballgame” said Kiyoshi Toshima.

“That’s right, Kiyoshi. Yoshimaru didn’t usually holds the ball all the time, but he’s very observant when it comes to getting mismatches against his opponents in the court” said Akira Shimojō.

“Ah, I get it, Akira. I believe that he’s very good in taking down his opponents while going for the drive or the pass” said Ryōta.

“Yeah!” said Akira.

Shinjō Okamoto gets pumped up as his turn is started. Shinjō releases the ball with his speed of his own before the ball knocks down all bowling pins.

“Looks like they’re not worrying their fate yet” said Yoshimaru.

“I believe you’re right, Yoshimaru. I guess it’s time to for me to turn the tables around” said Kira.

“Yep. You can do it, Kira! I hope that you’ll score another strike” said Yoshimaru.

“Of course not, Yoshimaru! I can take care of that” said Kira.

The next round begins with Kira Kakimoto faces off against Risa Yatsuzuka, a member of the Verdant Dawn.

“I hope that you’ll be able to score another strike for us, Risa! I hope that you’re ready to keep the streak alive” said Shinjō.

“Okay, Shinjō! I’m not pressured to lose and I’m feeling optimistic to play bowling for the first time” said Risa Yatsuzuka.

“Then, go for it!” said Shinjō.

“You bet!” said Risa.

Kira goes first to knock down the bowling pins. Kira’s speed proves to be the highest after the six frames as Kira knocks down all bowling pins to score the seventh strike for the Innocent Charm.

“Awesome! Our score is now a half of 300 points!” said Misaki.

“Your speed is agiler than ever!” said Yoshimaru.

“You’re doing great!” said Rei, who gives Kira a high five.

“Thanks! It looks like the streak is still alive!” said Kira.

“Yeah! We’re down to the three remaining members, Kenta, Ai and me” said Hajime.

“After Kenta’s turn, the crucial part will be next!” said Ai.

“Yeah!” said Kira.

On the other hand, Risa Yatsuzuka feels nervous as her turn is started.

“Don’t be nervous, Risa! I believe in you!” said Kuriko.

“You have to release the ball with your speed to knock down the bowling pins at the end of the lane” said Shinjō.

“Okay! I got it!” said Risa. Risa takes a deep breath before saying, “I can do this. I can do this.” Risa gets the ball before putting her right leg like a pivot. Risa releases the ball and the speed rate of hers is almost the same as Kira. The ball knocks down all pins. “How do I get?”

“You’re awesome! You knock down the bowling pins perfectly!” said Shinjō.

The scoreboard shows both Innocent Charm and Verdant Dawn scoring 150 points.

“I did? I did!” said Risa. Masataka, Kiyoji, Miyabi, Miyako and Kuriko are congratulating Risa for scoring another strike.

“That’s seven strikes in a row, Risa! Now, we still get five more strikes to get a perfect score of 300!” said Masataka.

“I’m happy with the way you did! I like that style, Risa! I’m proud of you!” said Miyako.

“You keep the streak alive, Risa! Like Shinjō said, you’re an awesome girl!” said Miyako.

“I’m very thrilled to see that style and I believe that your speed is way different than mine, but I’m happy after you knock down all pins for the seventh strike” said Miyabi.

“Thanks, Miyako! And thanks, everyone, for supporting me! It’s not complicated that we’re still getting the momentum for our team. We won’t give up, everyone! Let’s make sure that we will win the match! Right, everyone?” said Risa.

“Yes, Risa!” said the members of the Verdant Dawn.

The eighth round between Kenta Achiba and Rikichi Nakano creates a big breakdown between the Innocent Charm and the Verdant Dawn.

Kenta manages to score a strike, despite his speed is not much faster than his groupmates. The Innocent Charm scores 180 points after eight frames.

“Great job, Kenta-chan!” said Seiichi.

“You’re awesome!” said Kazuya.

Seiichi and Kazuya give Kenta high fives before Kenta responds back with a high five to both Seiichi and Kazuya.

Rikichi also managers to score a strike, adding 30 more points to his team’s score. The Verdant Dawn scores 180 points as well after eight frames.

“We’re down to the last two members of both teams. It’s getting crucial right there, Kuni” said Hitomi Hakamada.

“Yeah, Hitomi. I wonder what Ai and Hajime’s strategy would be to take down the Verdant Charm” said Kuni.

“Unlike their opponents, Ai and Hajime have to keep an eye on the center because the center is the only chance to knock down all pins with one hit. I can’t wait to see both of them scoring four more strikes to score a perfect 300” said Hitomi.

“That’s true, Hitomi. Let’s see if Ai manages to get the ninth strike before the final frame” said Kuni.

Yeah!” said Hitomi.

The ninth round is going to be Ai Ohara vs. Misaki Shimaki.

Ai gets more support from her teammates before saying, “I’m ready!” Ai positions herself as she is aiming at the center of the lane. Ai manages to do so, and the ball knocks down all bowling pins for the Innocent Charm’s ninth straight strike.

“Nine strikes in a row! The Innocent Charm can’t lose their momentum because they’re almost reaching a record of ten strikes in a row!” said Seijirō.

“No one can reach that record in a team play at the bowling alley in the Recreational Center. I found out that only one group made eight strikes in a row a few years ago” said Kumi Takamura.

“Yeah, but the Innocent Charm is ready to finish the match with a perfect 300 if they will make three more strikes to add 90 more points in their score sheet” said Seijirō.

“That can’t be stopped, Seijirō! It’s going to be a ride of their lives after the match is over” said Kumi Takamura.

“Yep!” said Seijirō.

The members of the Innocent Charm are overjoyed after Ai scores the strike. The scoreboard shows the Innocent Charm getting 210 points while the Verdant Dawn still has 180 points. Misaki Shimaki steps up for the Verdant Dawn as Misaki tries to keep the momentum alive for her team.

“If she scores the strike, then the tenth frame will be deciding frame to determine who has the most points in the match” said Yuichi.

“I can feel the intensity between two bowlers and we don’t know which team gets the better speed” said Hitomi.

“Yeah, Hitomi. I’m ready to feel the intensity to put the match more challenging” said Yuichi.

“That’s right, Yuichi! The battle is still on and when the tenth and final round is approaching, it’s deciding time!” said Hitomi.

“Yeah!” said Yuichi.

Misaki gets the ball before performs her style. The ball is released from Misaki’s hands and the ball knocks down all pins. The Verdant Dawn gets another strike, which adds 30 more points in the scoresheet, and the score is still tied at 210.

“The Verdies are not giving up!” said Hinata.

“Yeah, I’m not sure when the streaks are gonna end, but I’m feeling intense right here” said Sora Kaneshiro.

“Turning the final round to be a deciding round is going to more complicated for both teams. We don’t know who will win the match, but I bet that the Innocent Charm may end up reigning supreme” said Shinobu.

“I agree with that, Shinobu” said Hinata. Sora also agrees to Shinobu.

“I can’t wait to watch the final round of the match! Who will win the match? It’s going to be the Innocent Charm or the Verdant Dawn?” said Yūto Iwase.

The final round is going to be the deciding round where at the end of the match, there will be a winner, who can walk away with most number of points in their scoresheet. It’s going to be the Innocent Charm’s Hajime Shimizu or the Verdant Dawn’s Akisada Shimoda.

Before the final round begins, Hajime and Akisada face each other with both leaders are focused on their main goal: to score a perfect 300 in the match.

“I hope that your streak will come to an end. One mistake and the perfect opportunity is corroding into dusts” said Akisada.

“Well, there’s no way that we will lose the match. I’m not pressured to lose this match, but my team is going to win!” said Hajime.

“Okay. Bring it on!” said Akisada.

“Okay!” said Hajime.

Hajime would start her turn for the Innocent Charm. Hajime scores the strike with 30 points being added to her team’s score. The members of the Innocent Charm are screaming “Oooh!” and “Aaah!” after Hajime performed her style.

“Ten strikes in a row for the Innocent Charm! Will Hajime continues to gain momentum for her team?” said Hanako Itō.

Hajime goes for the second ball as she releases the ball to knock down all ten bowling pins. The Innocent Charm scores another 30 points, which makes their score being increased to 270.

“She did it again! Only one more strike to go for the Innocent Charm to complete the perfect game!” said Hanako Itō.

“No one has ever scored 300 points in a bowling match and this comes to the final stretch for Hanako to finish the game” said Sora Fukutomi.

“Will she do it to make a perfect score of 300 or will she fall a chance with a few pins still standing in the end of the lane? So, here comes Hajime!” said Kumi Sagami.

Hajime goes for the final ball and releases the ball from her hands. Unfortunately, the ball knocks down 7 pins and the bowling pins #4, #7 and #8 are still standing in the end of the lane.

Hajime gasps after seeing three remaining pins still standing in the end of the lane, much to the horror of the members of the Innocent Charm.

“Oh! She fails to make a complete sweep! That means, the Innocent Charm scores 297 points after ten frames” said Yuichi.

“So, it looks like Akisada is ready to take down the Innocent Charm and trying to make a complete sweep” said Kuni.

“I don’t know if he is going for a perfect 300, but let’s find out if he can make it” said Hitomi.

“But that’s not all, Hitomi. Akisada is ready to aim his perfect target at the center of the ten pins. That’s not gonna be good for the Innocent Charm. Hopefully, he can’t make a perfect 300” said Suzuko.

Akisada goes for the first ball, trying his best to score three straight strikes to complete a perfect game. The ball knocks down all ten pins to add 30 more points to the Verdant Dawn’s score.

“The Verdies get 30 more points to add their score to 240!” said Hinata.

“Hmm… that’s great for him, but I’m feeling worried about what’s going to happen next” said Suzuko.

Akisada goes for the second fall. Unlike Hajime’s failure of getting a perfect score in the final ball, Akisada fails to score a strike as he manages to knock down 9 pins. The score of the Verdant Dawn is now 269 points, which means the Innocent Charm will win the match since the Verdant Dawn fails to score another strike.

“And it looks like Akisada blows his chance of getting another strike!” said Suzuko.

“That means, the Innocent Charm will win the match!” said Rei.

“Yep. The result of the Verdant Charm will be either a 9-point lead or an 8-point lead if he can get the spare or not. Of course, I’m proud to see our group winning the bowling match!” said Hinata.

“Yeah!” said Rei, Sora Fukutomi, Sora Kaneshiro, Megumi, Hanako, Yūto, Shinobu and Kumi Sagawa.

“We’re going to celebrate our win as long as Akisada will finish his turn soon” said Rei.

“Yep” said Hinata.

Akisada finishes his turn by scoring a spare, which totals his team’s score to 289 points.

Yuichi announces the match is over. “Game over! The Innocent Charm wins the match with the score of 297 to 289!”

The members of the Innocent Charm celebrate their win over the Verdant Charm. Hajime smiles after she and her team worked hard in trying to get a perfect game.

“I’m so proud of you, everyone! We won the match!” said Rei.

“Yeah, we would have lost the match if it wasn’t Akisada getting the second strike in the final frame. I’m glad that we won the match with Akisada’s failure of completing another strike in the final frame” said Hajime.

“I’m happy with the result, Hajime and the team! I’m so happy that your team made eleven strikes in a row! If Hajime scores the last strike, we would have a perfect game. I believe that your prefecture is superb!” said Hinata.

“Thanks, Hinata!” said Kazuya Uehara, Mie Futurani, Yoshimaru Iijima, Sakura Uehara, Seiichi Abe, Kenta Achiba, Ai Ohara, Kira Kakimoto, Misaki Nagaoka and Hajime Shimizu.

Akisada and the members of the Verdant Dawn meet the members of the Innocent Charm as they are congratulating their opponents of their victory. Akisada says to the members of the Innocent Charm. “Congratulations! You won the match! We tried hard to defeat you, but I fell in the second try of the final frame when I landed a score of nine points. I’m impressed with all of your performances during the match.”

“Thanks! We’re very determined to win the match and we did very well. Your team did too including you, Akisada” said Hajime.

“Yeah, I believe that your words are true, Hajime. We tried to win the match, but it’s a fun game that I played with you. Of course, I’m very happy to the fact that you made a great effort in trying to complete a perfect game” said Akisada.

“Yeah, Akisada. Nobody gets perfect until you make the perfect opportunity happen the next time you try to do it again. I hope that we can have another bowling match right here” said Hajime.

“Yeah. I’m having a good game with you, Hajime, but the next time we meet, we’ll be going to defeat you!” said Akisada.

“Okay, you bet, Akisada!” said Hajime.

The members of the Innocent Charm and the Verdant Dawn would meet each other outside of the Recreational Center. Hanako and Yūto are expecting to leave the mansion as they promised earlier.

“Thanks for visiting this place, Hinata! It was so fun to stay with you!” said Hanako.

“You’re welcome, Hanako! I hope that we will invite you two to visit our home again” said Hinata.

“Yeah!” said Hanako and Yūto.

“Oh, by the way, Hanako and Yūto, I’m going to ask you one more question. Is the Verdant Dawn set to participate at the Ōmori Invitationals?” said Rei.

“Yeah!” said Hanako and Yūto.

“Our friends are ready to compete at the Ōmori Invitationals. Like the Sagi-ume, the Verdant Dawn is expected to participate at this event. I’m so excited to see my friends ready to compete and hopefully, they’ll be winning the tournament” said Hanako.

“The Verdant Dawn is a team composed of the former students of the Kasuragi Elementary School with most of our members are now in the Kasuragi Middle School. Our team loves to play bowling and hopefully, one of our members will compete in a nationwide bowling tournament soon” said Yūto.

“Well, that’s a great ambition that your team got!” said Kenta.

“Yep. We’re interested to play bowling at any place in our district, but also, we played basketball as well. Just like Hanako said, the Ōmori Invitationals will be our first competition that we’re going to compete next week, and our members are ready to show up with their talents in the court. The two of us will be acting as managers of the team” said Hanako.

“Hopefully, one of your teams will be expected to battle against us in the tournament” said Yūto.

“I hope that your team is ready to compete this year. You will feel intensity in the first tournament that we’re going to enter in the Ōta League” said Akisada.

“Hmm… looks like you’re interested in battling one of our teams to compete in the Ōmori Invitationals. Okay, then, we’re ready to battle you once the bracket will be revealed next week” said Rei.

“Okay, Rei, you’re on! It’s not going to be a serious competition between the two groups, but it’s for our friendly rivalry that we’re going to get” said Hanako.

“Yeah, there’s no doubt that we’re going to be stronger like the New Camellian Dragons did!” said Yūto.

“Well, I’m fine with that. Let’s meet each other in the tournament!” said Rei.

“Okay!” said Hanako and Yūto. Hanako, Yūto and the members of the Verdant Dawn wave their hands goodbye as they are leaving the Misawa Resort Hotel. “We’ll see you around, Hinata and friends!”

“Okay! Bye, Hanako! Bye, Yūto! Bye, everyone! Good luck in the tournament!” said Hinata while she and the members of the Innocent Charm wave their hands goodbye to Hanako, Yūto and the members of the Verdant Dawn.

“Okay, we will!” said Hanako and Yūto. Hanako, Yūto and the members of the Verdant Dawn.

Once Hanako, Yūto and the members of the Verdant Dawn leave the Misawa Resort Hotel, Sora Kaneshiro looks at the time.

“Oh, it’s already one in the afternoon. I think I have to join my friends to leave for a day. I’m going to pack my things from my home at the Little Wing” said Sora Kaneshiro.

“Wait, Sora. I hope that you will make yourself at your new home at the Nukui Residence” said Megumi.

“Yeah, I hope that you’ll feel better to stay with Kyō and Kurumi” said Hinata.

“Thanks, Hinata! Thanks, Megumi! I will be here at my new home once my ‘sisters’ and I are finished packing our stuff to move out from the Little Wing. I’ll see you tomorrow!” said Sora. Sora leaves to follow Jun and her groupmates as Jun’s Angels are going to go back to their respective homes to prepare for their relocation to the Nukui Residence.

“Okay, Sora! We’ll see you tomorrow!” said Hinata, Megumi and the members of the Innocent Charm as they wave their hands to say goodbye to Sora.

“Okay!” said Sora.

Hinata would ask Kira on what the birthday girl will do for afternoon. “Kira, I have to ask you one thing. What are you expecting to celebrate your birthday?”

“Well, my birthday is today and I guess that you should celebrate my birthday today! I will treat you with a lunch!” said Kira.

“Oh, good expectation, Kira! I like that! Everyone, let’s go back to the mansion and celebrate Kira’s birthday!” said Hinata.

“Okay!” said Hinata, Megumi and the members of the Innocent Charm. The Innocent Charm and the Verdant Dawn are having a fun time to play bowling at the Recreational Center of the Misawa Resort Hotel. With the Verdant Dawn joins with the Sagi-ume, Innocent Charm, Pink Nobles and Prestigious Charm, the Ōmori Invitationals is now finally revolving with friendly rivalries between the Bravehearts and the New Camellian Dragons. To make things expected for the Ōmori Invitationals, they will have more training to prepare themselves and hopefully, they will compete each other once the bracket will be revealed soon.

Only three more associated groups of the New Camellian Dragons remaining to complete the first search of the members of the Dragons of Ōta. The original title name of Chapter 89 was ‘A Bowling Activity with the Innocent Charm’, but I changed it to ‘The Verdants and the Charms’, so that this chapter will feature both Verdant Dawn and Innocent Charm. I have to be ready for the next updates of Volume 8 including the interludes. In the next update, Jun’s Angels will be moving their home from the Little Wing Orphanage to the Nukui Residence as they will live together after occasionally meeting with each other for activity and practice. I’ll see you on November 7 (Wednesday) for the next update!

 

[Sherwin Riga]

It’s five days after Yūko Ōno’s birthday and as a fan of Tenshi no 3P!/Angel’s 3Piece!, the month of November is a full of celebrations and I believe that this month should be a happier month for me;) and all readers. Hopefully, you will enjoy the ride in reading new updates of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts! So, enjoy reading tonight’s update Chapter 90!:)

In Chapter 88, Jun’s Angels have confirmed that they will move their home base from the Little Wing Orphanage to the Nukui Residence as Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura will finally stay with Kyō and Kurumi. Also, Kōme and Yuzuha would also be leaving their apartment near the Little Wing Orphanage to move to the Nukui Residence as well. So, tonight’s update is all about their new home at the Nukui Residence where Jun’s Angels will be leaving the Little Wing Orphanage to move to the Nukui Residence, where they will celebrate their new home by throwing a thanksgiving party for themselves. It’s great to say that a new home means a new life for Jun’s Angels as they will make the Nukui Residence their new home for music practice and gathering for their friends within the Bravehearts and their allies. So, if you’re ready to give their joy and peace to celebrate their new home, here comes Chapter 90, with the title, “Moving to the Nukui Residence”! So, sit back, relax and enjoy reading Chapter 90!:)

As they are ready to move to their new home, Jun’s Angels would prepare their stuff, so that they will be leaving their former homes and heading to their new home, the Nukui Residence. The main reason behind this is because Kyō and Kurumi want to get along with Jun and her friends, so that they will make harmonious enjoyment and everlasting smile and peace in their group. It’s perfect to say that the Nukui Residence should be a house of smile and peace because of Kyō’s contribution of helping Lien de Famille and Dragon≒Nuts. After finished packing their things to prepare for their new home, Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Sakura, Kōme and Yuzuha are finally saying goodbye to their former homes before heading to the Nukui Residence. Sakura would the first member of Jun’s Angels to enter the Nukui Residence after she brought some fish by fishing. Kyō, Kurumi and Sakura would be joined by the rest of the members of Jun’s Angels including Masayoshi Sawatari and Sakiko Aizawa. With their food being prepared for their dinner, Jun’s Angels begin their thanksgiving party by eating their food in a traditional way like a family. After eating their dinner, Jun and her friends thank Kyō for letting them stay at the Nukui Residence and they would promise together that they will keep their relationship with Kyō together like a family of angels. Kyō and Kurumi’s parents would arrive at the Nukui Residence and give every member of Jun’s Angels their gifts. It’s a great blessing for everyone in Nukui Residence and hopefully, Kyō, Kurumi, Jun and their friends will stay together as one family of angels.

VOLUME 6: “PRESTIGIOUS AND DETERMINATION”
CHAPTER 90: “MOVING TO THE NUKUI RESIDENCE”​

“The Nukui Residence is once resided by the Nukui family, composed of my father Keisuke Nukui, my mother Azuki Nukui, my sister Kurumi Nukui and myself Kyō Nukui. Our family lived in Den-en-chōfu in the western part of Ōta. Every day, I visited the Little Wing Orphanage to visit my friends Jun Gotō, Nozomi Momijidani, Sora Kaneshiro, Sakura Toriumi and “Master” Masayoshi Sawatari. Also, I frequently stayed with my sister Kurumi if she wants to be with me once I’m done visiting my friends before the sunset. Things have been changed after the decision happened yesterday. Our group, Jun’s Angels, has decided to relocate our home base from the Little Wing Orphanage to the Nukui Residence after Masayoshi had given Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura their freedom to be with me at our home. This would also allow Kiriyume Kōme Ogi and Yuzuha Aigae to leave their apartment and move to our home as well!” Kyō narrates the introduction, showing the background of his family and the flashback of what happened at the meeting between the Bravehearts, Masayoshi and Sakiko Aizawa, the cousin of Kōme Ogi and Anzu Ogi.

“Yeah, it was a good decision for all of us that we’re going to stay together at our home as one family of angels. When Jun announced that she, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura will be leaving the Little Wing and moving their home to our home, I feel happy to respect her decision alongside Kōme-chan and Yuzuha-chan because this was my brother’s plan, trying to save our home from being emptied. That would have a big disaster if Jun had decided to make the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel as our group’s new home, but I’m glad that Jun made the right decision. Before the decision happened, me, my brother, Kōme-chan and Yuzuha-chan have planned about the relocation of the homes for Kōme-chan and Yuzuha-chan. Since Jun and her ‘sisters’ are heading to our home, Kōme-chan and Yuzuha-chan have happily decided to move their home to our home as well!” said Kurumi continues to narrate, explaining how the decision happened about the relocation of the address of Jun’s Angels.

“And so, the day has finally come and we’re about to leave the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel, so that we will prepare ourselves in heading to the Nukui Residence, the new home of Jun’s Angels. I hope that this place will be suitable for meetings in our group and some of our fellow friends in Shiromidai and Niida Nishi. I can’t wait to feel comfortable to visit this place because I had remembered that place a long time ago when I visited that place to make Kyō comfortable as the two of us have helped together in finishing Kyō’s assignment. Well, then, it’s time to leave the mansion as we’re heading back home first before heading to the Nukui Residence, the new home of our angelic group Jun’s Angels! Let’s start our story right here!” Sakura finishes the introduction, smiling after finished her last sentence.

Tomoka, Subaru and Jun’s Angels meet each other outside the entrance of the mansion as Jun’s Angels are about leave the mansion to go back to their homes and ready to head on to the Nukui Residence. Sora was able to catch up with her friends as she finished the activity with the Innocent Charm.

“I believe that you’re all set to go back home, Jun. I hope that you will feel comfortable with your new home” said Tomoka.

“Yeah, Tomoka! It feels like our decision had been made to make sure that the Nukui Residence will be a new place for gatherings in our group and friends whether they came from the Family of Angels, Shiromidai or Niida Nishi” said Jun.

“We’re glad to stay here at this place, but as you can see, Kyō wanted us to stay at his home in order to make a harmonious enjoyment for our group and allowing that place to become the new home of our group” said Nozomi.

“Hum, we visited the Nukui Residence a few times while we’re staying at the Little Wing Orphanage, but it’s finally time to move on to that place being a perfect place to relax and enjoy” said Sora.

“I hope that you’ll make yourself home at that place, Jun, Nozomi and Sora. I expect that your group should be ready for some adjustments before enjoying the night later. We’ll support you because we’re friends with you” said Subaru.

“Okay, Subaru!” said Jun, Nozomi and Sora.

“I would like to thank you for supporting Jun’s decision and it’s complicated that my home should be more harmonious. Just like Nozomi said, my home should be fit for my friends to stay there for them to relax and enjoy. Also, I’ll be waiting for my parents to visit my home later tonight” said Kyō.

“Yeah, Kyō! I can’t wait to see what our parents give us. They know that our friends will be staying in our place and I felt excited to see them in our place for a long time!” said Kurumi.

“We’re no longer getting complicated once we’re moving to the Nukui Residence. Our golden opportunity is to make harmonious enjoyment and everlasting smile and peace in our group” said Sakura.

“Yeah, it’s true that your group is inspired with joy and delightfulness. I hope that you and your friends will visit our place for some time” said Tomoka.

“You bet, Tomoka!” said Kyō, Kurumi and Sakura.

“Hibiki, I’m happy that Yuzuha and I are ready to stay with you for a long time. After all, we’re connected to each other” said Kōme.

“Eh, yeah, Kiriyume. I’m glad that you will be coming to my home before the sunset comes” said Kyō.

“Okay, Kyō!” said Kōme.

“Kyō, the two of us are ready to bring our stuff and move to your home. Let’s play together!” said Yuzuha.

“Uh, okay, Aigae-san” said Kyō.

“By the way, Kyō, while we’re preparing our stuff as we’re going to move on to our home, you promised me that you and your sister will throw a party for all of us” said Jun.

“Sure, Jun! We’ll try our best to have a party for everyone in our group!” said Kyō.

“Yeah, Jun! Trust me, we’ll all be enjoying the night with our food and drinks to be served. Of course, I will invite some of our friends right here!” said Kurumi.

“Wow! That’s great!” said Jun.

“Thank you very much, Kyō and Kurumi!” said Jun, Nozomi and Sora.

“Okay, Kyō and Kurumi, I will be with you to help your preparations to throw a party later tonight! I hope that your parents will be here as well” said Sakura.

“Sure, you can, Sakura. It’s up to you to help us ready to throw a party tonight” said Kyō.

“I’m glad that you will help our plans for tonight’s party. I hope that it’s going to a fun night party that we never forget!” said Kurumi.

“Okay!” said Kyō and Kurumi.

“Jun and the Angels, I have to tell you one more question before you’re all ready to go!” said Tomoka.

“Okay!” said the members of Jun’s Angels.

“When are you expecting to visit the mansion to meet us?” asked Tomoka.

“Uh, we’re allowed to have time to visit with you from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. However, for weekdays, we’ll be thinking about it, Tomoka. Don’t worry, we’ll be organizing with you for the Fuchsia and Celadon Week!” said Jun.

“Okay, Jun! So, shall we visit your place tomorrow?” said Tomoka.

“Sure, Tomoka! You can hang out with us after your class in Keishin! We’ll start planning on the activities for the Fuchsia and Celadon Week!” said Jun.

“We’ll try our best to make a best week once we’re reaching the month of May!” said Nozomi.

“Yeah, the Family of Angels is expected to finalize the plans before it reaches the Golden Week” said Sora.

“It’s going to be a big process to make up some plans for the Fuchsia and Celadon Week, but we hope that we will finalize those things next week” said Kurumi.

“We’re ready to invite everyone to decide on the activities for the Fuchsia and Celadon Week!” said Kōme.

“Yeah! Once it’s done, we’re going to show those to our friends to make sure that they are going to accept all activities that we make” said Yuzuha.

“Also, the proposed trip to Aichi will be depended to the decision of you and your friends” said Kyō.

“Yeah, there are more activities that we’re going to add in our list and we want you to help us” said Sakura.

“Okay, we’ll be deciding on those things tomorrow!” said Tomoka and Subaru.

“Good! Tomoka and Subaru, we’re leaving now! See you tomorrow!” said Jun, who waved her hands to say goodbye to Tomoka and Subaru.

“See ya, everyone!” said Nozomi, Sora, Kyō, Sakura, Kurumi, Kōme and Yuzuha. They also wave their hands to say goodbye to Tomoka and Subaru.

“Okay! Bye, Jun! Bye, everyone!” said Tomoka and Subaru. Once they finish saying goodbye to Tomoka and Subaru, Jun and the Angels are leaving the mansion to go back to their respective homes.

At the downtown Kamata, Jun and the Angels are boarding in a train to Nishi-Shiromi. Then, Jun and the Angels arrive at the downtown Nishi-Shiromi in Den-en-chōfu.

“So, we’re going to part ways for a while, everyone” said Jun.

“Yeah, let’s meet together later at our home” said Kyō.

“Once you’re all done packing your things, I expect everyone to visit our home before the sunset comes” said Kurumi.

“Okay!” said Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Sakura, Kōme and Yuzuha.

Jun and the Angels would part ways to their separate homes as they are going back to their respective homes first.

At the Little Wing Orphanage, Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura arrive home to meet Masayoshi. Then, at their room, Jun, Nozomi and Sora prepare their stuff, getting their clothes and musical materials. The musical instruments can’t be brought to the Nukui Residence because those equipment will be used for concert proposes at the annex of the Little Wing Orphanage.

“I can’t wait to see what Kyō-san and Kurumi-chan bought for the party” said Jun.

“Well, they’re planning to buy some juice as drinks for the party. Kyō also wanted to buy meat to cook some tonkatsu. I like tonkatsu, Jun!” said Nozomi.

“Yeah! I can’t wait to taste those tonkatsu! It feels like I’ll be the first one to taste that!” said Jun.

“Hum, I can’t be bored to eat those food, but let’s save it for tonight, Jun and Nozomi” said Sora.

“Oh, yeah, Sora” said Jun and Nozomi.

“I get it. We’ll expect to visit packing our things before we’re all moved to our new home!” said Jun.

“Okay!” said Nozomi and Sora.

Meanwhile, Sakura and Masayoshi are in their room as Sakura puts all her clothes at her bag.

“Sakura, I have some plans for the future and I don’t know if you’ll come back one day” said Masayoshi.

“Well, I don’t know if I will come back to this place, but me, Jun and my friends are going to plan on what to do after class. Don’t worry, I’ll expect to meet my relatives soon. So, when the relatives going to arrive to this place?” said Sakura.

“Uh, I don’t know if they will be here a few days, but from what I received a text from one of Nozomi’s relatives named Kaoru Momijidani, they will arrive on Tuesday” said Masayoshi.

“Ah, I get it, Masayoshi. I’m heading to the coast to catch fish for tonight’s party” said Sakura.

“Okay, Sakura. Oh, one more thing, I will be going to the Nukui Residence to see how Kyō and Kurumi prepare for your group’s party” said Masayoshi.

“Okay! I’ll be going to the Nukui Residence once I’m done fishing” said Sakura.

“Sure, just make sure to find a big one” said Masayoshi.

“You bet!” said Sakura.

At the apartment, located a few miles away from the Little Wing Orphanage and near the convenience store, Kōme, Yuzuha and Sakiko Aizawa appear together in their room. Sakiko looks at Kōme and Yuzuha, who are getting their clothes and stuff from the closet.

“Kōme and Yuzuha, did you also put your school materials to your bag?” asked Sakiko Aizawa.

“Yeah!” said Kōme and Yuzuha.

“Your assignments? Did you also put those?” asked Sakiko.

“Yeah!” said Kōme and Yuzuha.

“We put them all in one of our bags” said Kōme.

“Those are compiled with our names being appeared in our notebooks and textbooks” said Yuzuha.

“Good. I will ask Masayoshi if Jun and her friends are all prepared too” said Sakiko.

“Okay!” said Kōme and Yuzuha.

While Sakiko calls Masayoshi on her phone, Kōme and Yuzuha sit down in their chairs.

“You know what, Kōme, I think we’re ready to feel the excitement as we’re going to move out from our apartment to the Nukui Residence” said Yuzuha.

“Yeah, Yuzuha. I’m not sure what are we going to do once we’re reaching to the Nukui Residence. Hibiki had a lot of music posters in his room and I can’t wait to touch his musical instrument! It might be so cool to see it!” said Kōme.

“Of course, Kōme! I never touch those musical instruments in his house before, but it appears that his instruments are authentic” said Yuzuha.

“I think so, Yuzuha, but I believe that Hibiki had a lot of connections to poetry and music. I wonder if I would be able to touch Hibiki’s electric guitar” said Kōme.

“Definitely, but you’ll be thrilled if you touch it” said Yuzuha.

“Ah, I get it” said Kōme.

“Uh, girls, Masayoshi said that Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura have done packing their things and they’re now going to buy their food for the party tonight. I expect that you should buy those food too!” said Sakiko.

“Okay, Sakiko! We’ll try out best to buy those food for the party!” said Kōme and Yuzuha.

“That’s good. So, if you don’t mind, why I will join with you for a while?” said Sakiko.

“But why, Sakiko?” asked Kōme.

“So, that I can help you if you need assistance” said Kōme.

“Ah, okay, Sakiko” said Kōme.

“Well, then, let’s buy some food for the party!” said Sakiko.

“Yeah!” said Kōme and Yuzuha.

And with that, Kōme and Yuzuha have left their apartment and brought their stuff as they are heading to their new home, but before that, they will buy some food for the party later tonight. A party for the group is also a dinner for them because it’s almost four in the afternoon and the members of Jun’s Angels have found some food to buy.

A few hours later, the sun is about to set and it’s almost going to be nighttime. At the Nukui Residence, Kyō, Kurumi and Sakura are preparing their food for the party.

“Kyō, these foods are bought from the market and I should cook those for tonight” said Sakura.

“Okay, Sakura. Did you also brought a fish?” said Kyō.

“Why, yes, I do, Kyō. I brought it by fishing. There are four pieces of fish and these can be cooked as well” said Sakura.

“Okay, I think that’s gonna be good enough to make a nabemono, Sakura. I want you to make sure that the nabemono should be served in warm temperature” said Kyō.

“Also, the nabemono should be delicious!” said Kurumi.

“Okay, I got it! I will make sure that our friends will be here soon!” said Sakura.

“Okay!” said Kyō and Kurumi.

Once Sakura goes to the pantry to begin cooking a nabemono, Kyō and Kurumi sit down together in the sofa at the living room.

“Oniichan, where are Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Kōme and Yuzuha? I suppose that they are coming soon, but I believe that they’re buying or something” said Kurumi.

“Don’t worry, Kurumi. I called them earlier and they said that they’re meeting each other at a restaurant in our area. I hope that they will be coming for about a half an hour” said Kyō.

“Well, I think they’re going to buy some more food after they bought meat and fish that were given by Sakura earlier” said Kurumi.

“That’s right, Kurumi. I also wait to see our parents coming home to meet us. For my observation, I think they know about our decision because we don’t want to make our home emptied” said Kyō.

“Well, I say, our decision also made Masayoshi probably succeeded in making an agreement with the relatives of different families like the Gotō family, the Momijidani family, the Kaneshiro family, the Toriumi family and our family, the Nukui family” said Kurumi.

“Ah, I agree with that, Kurumi. As far as I know, we don’t know what to do once our friends are finally here” said Kyō.

“Yeah, good point, oniichan. There are only two rooms available, your room and my room. I allowed Kōme and Yuzuha to stay at my room for practice while you occasionally invited Jun, Nozomi and Sora to stay in your room. But how about this, would it be better to let Kōme and Yuzuha stay in my room while Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura will be staying in your room?” said Kurumi.

“Well, that’s not complicated to say, Kurumi. I’ll accept that to make sure that we’re going to live in our house in peace” said Kyō.

Kurumi smiles happily. “Okay, I like that attitude, oniichan. But I have a problem that I have to think about. To be honest, the Homewrecking Dragons are planning to occupy our room at the mansion. But I don’t know if we’re going to allow it or not. The other thing is that they’re going to share our room at the mansion. What do you think?” said Kurumi.

“From what I observed to that situation, maybe Kōme needs to address that situation because she’s a top official of that club. I mean, if the Homewrecking Dragons will relocate their home to the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel, Kōme and Yuzuha may end up going back to the mansion, but as what the decision was said, all of us will stay at our home” said Kyō.

“Yeah, good point again, oniichan. Maybe they have assistants to take charge of our room. We can only visit the mansion from Friday to Sunday. Since the Fuchsia and Celadon Week will be coming next week, we should all stay at the mansion starting Friday until the end of the festivities” said Kurumi.

“That’s a great idea, Kurumi! Why we can tell that idea to our friends later on, so that we can start organizing the festivities? Also, the leadership election will be held at our home. So, we can’t worry about that as well” said Kyō.

“Okay, I guess that it’s all settled!” said Kurumi.

“I hope that they’re gonna know about this!” said Kyō.

“Yeah!” said Kurumi.

“Oh, I have a feeling that we should invite some more friends to visit our home. Would it be better to invite Tomoka and her team to come to our home for a day?” said Kyō.

“Definitely, Kyō, because they are friends with us!” said Kurumi.

“Yes, they are, Kurumi! I can’t wait to see them visiting our home to explore our place!” said Kyō.

“Yep” said Kurumi.

Sakura appears from the pantry while holding the bowl after finished cooking the nabemono. “Kyō and Kurumi, the nabemono is now cooked and served!”

“Okay! I can’t wait to taste that, Sakura!” said Kyō.

“Yeah, me too! I can taste one piece of tataki from the bowl!” said Kurumi.

“Well, you can taste one, Kyō and Kurumi!” said Sakura.

“Okay, Sakura!” said Kyō and Kurumi. Kyō and Kurumi get the chopsticks to pick one piece of tataki before eating it.

“Oh, it’s so delicious!” said Kyō.

“Amazing! That tastes good!” said Kurumi.

“See, I told you that this nabemono is served in warm temperature! I will put the bowl in the table, so that it will be served later on” said Sakura.

“I feel so excited see our friends coming to our later soon!” said Kyō.

“Yeah! Jun and her friends are hopefully gonna finish buying their food before heading to our home!” said Kurumi.

“That’s right, Kyō and Kurumi! We’ll going to wait for them and then, we’ll start the party!” said Sakura.

“Okay!” said Kyō and Kurumi.

Part 2 will be on the next post.

Part 2​

A few minutes later, Kyō, Kurumi and Sakura are sitting in the sofa at the living room. They are expectedly waiting for Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Kōme and Yuzuha, who are on their way to find the address.

“It’s already 6:34 in the evening, Sakura” said Kyō.

“Yeah, I’m not sure if they are gonna arrive on time” said Sakura.

“The party is about to start at seven and we’re almost time to start the party” said Kurumi.

“That’s true, Kurumi” said Kyō. Kyō would ask Sakura if she is seeing Jun and her friends at the window. “So, are we see them yet?”

“Uh, they’re almost there, Kyō. I believe that they know the address” said Sakura.

“Good. I believe it’s time to start the party very soon. Right, Kyō and Sakura?” said Kurumi.

“Yeah!” said Kyō and Sakura.

Suddenly, someone rings the doorbell at the gate of the Nukui Residence. Kyō, Kurumi and Sakura hear the sound of the doorbell.

“I think there they are” said Kyō.

“Yeah” said Kurumi.

“Then, let’s find out” said Sakura.

“Okay” said Kyō and Kurumi.

Kyō, Kurumi and Sakura go outside and Kyō opens the gate to see if Jun and her friends are here. Kyō would be surprised to see Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Kōme, Yuzuha, Masayoshi and Sakiko.

“Oh, everyone! Looks like you’re finally here!” said Kyō.

“Yeah! Hi, Jun! Hi, Kurumi! Hi, Sakura!” said Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Kōme, Yuzuha, Masayoshi and Sakiko.

“How did you meet together?” asked Sakura.

“We arrived at the restaurant in the nearby Nishi-Shiromi when Kōme, Yuzuha and Sakiko met us. Kōme, Yuzuha and Sakiko were buying the food that will be prepared for dinner tonight” said Jun.

“Yeah, we’re shocked to see Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Masayoshi by the time we’re done buying some food. They’re actually buying their food as well” said Kōme.

“So, that’s why we bought all here for you!” said Nozomi. Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Kōme, Yuzuha, Masayoshi and Sakiko give the bought foods to Kyō, Kurumi and Sakura.

“Thanks, everyone, for buying those foods for the party!” said Kyō.

“Yeah, no doubt about that!” said Masayoshi.

“We’re in a such hurry to find your address, but we finally manage to visit this block” said Jun.

“It seems that you have busy preparing for the dinner tonight and we’re expected to arrive at this block on time after I heard that you’re done preparing the food” said Nozomi.

“Hum, since we’re all completed, we can start the party right now” said Sora.

“Ah, hold on, Sora. To be honest, the party is starting at seven. So, it’s early to celebrate” said Kōme.

“Yeah” said Sora.

“I know! Maybe all of us will put our stuff to the living room before we’re going to start the party” said Yuzuha.

“Well, that’s a great idea, Yuzuha!” said Kyō.

“Why, thank you, Kyō!” said Yuzuha.

“Come on, everyone! Let’s go to the living room before we’re going to start the party!” said Kyō.

“Okay!” said Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Sakura, Kurumi, Kōme, Yuzuha, Masayoshi and Sakiko.

Jun’s Angels, Masayoshi and Sakiko have entered to the living room of the Nukui Residence where Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Kōme and Yuzuha put their stuff at the sofa before everyone meet each other at the dining room.

At the dining room, Jun’s Angels, Masayoshi and Sakiko are standing together to thank the food.

“Everyone! It’s an honor to thank everyone for visiting our home and this is going to be the first time that all of us are finally here. And since this is a thanksgiving party, everyone will give the blessing to the food. So, Jun, I give you the honor to thank the food” said Kyō.

“Okay, Kyō!” said Jun. Jun’s Angels, Masayoshi and Sakiko thank the food altogether. “Thanks for the food!”

“Thanks for the food!” said Nozomi, Sora, Sakura, Kyō, Kurumi, Kōme, Yuzuha, Masayoshi and Sakiko.

“Okay, let’s the food, everyone!” said Nozomi.

“Okay!” said Jun, Sora, Sakura, Kyō, Kurumi, Kōme, Yuzuha, Masayoshi and Sakiko.

Jun’s Angels, Masayoshi and Sakiko begin picking the food from the table and start eating it.

“It’s so delicious!” said Nozomi.

“Amazing! This food tastes good!” said Jun.

“Hum, I like the taste of the nabemono” said Sora.

“Did you cook this?” asked Sakiko.

“Yeah, it’s my first time to cook this kind of dish, Sakiko. I combined the meat and fish I brought to create the nabemono and added more ingredients to make this delicious” said Sakura.

“Ah, I see. I never cooked that kind of dish before, Sakura. One day, I can make that dish, so that my friends will taste it. I hope that they will say that ‘it’s delicious’ or ‘it tastes good’” said Sakiko.

“Well, you can make your own nabemono with your own ingredients you bought either from the market or the grocery store. One day, I will teach you how to make the nabemono” said Sakura.

“Okay!” said Sakiko.

“Wow! I can’t believe that this dish is so good! I can’t wait to eat more!” said Kōme.

“Yep. I think you like soup dishes and one pot cooking, Kiriyume. I hope that you will be more delighted to eat those” said Kyō.

“Yeah, Hibiki! I can’t wait to be thrilled with those foods getting served and I like the way Sakura cooked the nabemono. I wonder if I can make the nabemono of my own, but I’m sure that you will like this once you tasted it with your mouth” said Kōme.

“Yeah, Kōme, I’m sure that there a lot of dishes to be discovered and I believe that your friends from Soryu Island have learnt those kinds of dishes. Did you make a single dish and give it to your townspeople?” said Kurumi.

“Why, yes, I am, Kurumi. It’s a tradition that our townspeople should cook dishes every lunch and dinner. As I’m the shrine priestess, I will try my best to make a dish and give it to my friends even the townspeople in Soryu Island” said Kōme.

“Well, you will feel delighted if you make one, Kiriyume” said Kyō.

“You should learn everything from your heart. Trust me, Kōme, I hope that you will make the best dish that I will ever see” said Kurumi.

“Of course not, Hibiki and Kurumi! I should be more determined to cook any kind of dish, so that I can allow everyone to enjoy eating with their heart” said Kōme.

“Yeah, I agree with that, Kiriyume” said Kyō while Kurumi nods to agree with Kōme as well.

“Jun, this place is more modern and classic. Also, I can’t believe that this place is almost the same as the Little Wing” said Masayoshi.

“Yeah, Masayoshi. You should know that this place is very suited for a family to live there. Most urban areas like Tokyo have housed condominiums and open houses with different styles of architecture” said Jun.

“It’s true that the Nukui Residence has been created in modern style of architecture with two floors and wall designs being placed in every room. Also, the dining room and the pantry are well-classic, and it’s very compared to a small room with only food equipment being placed in any corner” said Nozomi.

“Hum, I’m very happy to stay this place. Jun and Nozomi, I think this place is very cozy and peaceful. I’m humbled to say that because it feels like we’re the only ones who have been admired and cute” said Sora.

“Well, don’t forget about us, Sora!” said Kurumi, who is smiling alongside Kōme and Yuzuha.

“I’m glad that you’re all happy to be humbled and I become more content to see you smiling at the same time” said Kyō.

“Yeah, it’s not complicated to smile to anyone, but to give respect is to give sincere gratitude” said Jun.

“I’m very happy to enjoy this place, Kyō! Maybe this place should be more comfortable with musical instruments and illustrations being placed in one room” said Nozomi.

“The room I refer is your own room, Kyō! You should be grateful and respected as always” said Jun.

“Hum, being a humble person can’t be denied by all of us” said Sora.

“Well, I agree with all of your statements and God never lost its spirit because you girls are very gentle and respectful” said Kyō.

“Ah, I’m happy to hear that, Kyō! I’m feeling overjoyed when you said things like that! I feel thrilled to enjoy staying this place for the first time and I hope that my admiration continues once I developed my relationship with you” said Jun.

“Yeah! I’m so excited to be with you, Kyō! After my stay at the Little Wing, I’m sure that you will always say that I’m awesome and cute!” said Nozomi.

“Everybody knows that you’re a hopeful musician, but you should be more determined to compose another song for us!” said Sora.

“Oh, Kyō, I think Jun, Nozomi and Sora are trying to motivate you since you’re the one who manage the group. I will support you as well. You can call me if you have problems and I will help you” said Masayoshi.

“Okay, Master! I’m thrilled and excited to be with Jun and her group!” said Kyō.

Kurumi smiles and gives Kyō a peace sign. “I’m very happy to let them stay in our place. I think Kōme and Yuzuha are wanted to be admired to you as well.”

When Kyō looks to Kurumi, he feels that his confidence on Kōme and Yuzuha should be added to his mind. Kōme would respond to Kyō. “I think your sister is right. It’s been a while that I met you and Yuzuha also agrees to your sister’s statement. I mean, you’re strong in keeping your relationship with Jun, Nozomi and Sora, but you should no longer be crazy right now because I trust you with my heart. I can feel your determination and I want to be the same as you.”

“I’m also determined because you thought that you’re gonna fell in love with me, but I guess that you’re confessed to me seriously. Of course, I’m just kidding, Kyō! Kōme and I want to express your feelings as long as you’re gonna keep our promise” said Yuzuha.

“What promise, Yuzuha?” asked Kyō.

“You don’t know that you should be more respectful to me and Yuzuha. That’s it. I hope that you will feel passionate to be with me, Hibiki” said Kōme, who smiles to Kyō after finishing her sentence.

“Yeah, you’re right, Kiriyume. Like all other girls, I can’t lose you because you’re very admired and respectful like the other girls I met” said Kyō.

“Well, I’m happy with that statement, Kyō. I hope that the two of us will grow our relationship together” said Kōme.

“Okay, Kiriyume! I will do it!” said Kyō.

“That’s great, Hibiki! I’m so happy to be with you!” said Kōme.

“Well, Kyō, I think I should be close to you as well! I should be more careful with you because I don’t be shy like the way I did before” said Yuzuha.

“See, oniichan, I think Kōme and Yuzuha like you as well! Of course, our group can’t forget about love and respect!” said Kurumi.

“That’s right, Kurumi! I think we’re all connected each other after all!” said Kyō.

“Yeah!” said Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Kurumi, Kōme and Yuzuha.

“Well, Kyō, I’m glad that the girls are trying to continue your relationship with your heart, but to be honest, if I remember correctly, I want to admire you as well” said Sakura.

“Oh, Sakura, I believe that you should be more responsible with your heart. I can support you with your plans as well. Right?” said Kyō.

“Uh, okay, Kyō! I will try my best to be more responsible to you!” said Sakura.

“Atta girl, Sakura! I can’t wait to see your smile in your face!” said Jun.

“Yeah, Jun! I’m feeling determined to be responsible and also, we can’t lose our desire and passion when you express your feelings to someone” said Sakura.

“Of course, that it’s true, Sakura! I can also express my feelings to Kyō no matter what his decision comes when he is about to be more passionate to each of us” said Nozomi.

“It’s better to be thrilled than to be scared. That’s why I always being thrilled to meet Kyō” said Sora.

“Ah, I understand about that, Sora” said Sakura.

“You know what, this is our Angels and we should be more determined like the way the Bravehearts did!” said Jun.

“Yeah!” said Nozomi, Sora, Kyō, Sakura, Kurumi, Kōme and Yuzuha.

“Everyone! I think we should finish eating the food before we’re going to think about anything for the future” said Masayoshi.

“Yeah! Let’s enjoy eating first!” said Sakiko.

“Okay!” said Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Kyō, Sakura, Kurumi, Kōme and Yuzuha.

After finish eating their food, Jun’s Angels, Masayoshi and Sakiko would meet together at the living room.

Kyō and Masayoshi talk to each other while the girls are playing board games in the table.

“So, ask me, Kyō. I’m open to answer any question you want” said Masayoshi.

“Uh, what are your plans with the Little Wing Orphanage after the decision?” asked Kyō.

“Well, I met the relative of different families to bring my first project. The goal is to adopt more orphans and take care of them for much time. I believe that the Little Wing Orphanage should be more active and I want my girls, Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura, to help my project, in order to improve active participation in our community. Some of my colleagues mentioned about bringing the orphans to study in some private schools and that’s what we’re going to plan in the future” said Masayoshi.

“Does that mean Jun, Nozomi and Sora may end up studying in a large middle school next year?” asked Kyō.

“Yeah, Kyō. I believe that my girls should be ready to study in middle school next year. I met my colleagues from the Niida Nishi High School a few days ago and I said to them that maybe, the community of Den-en-chōfu needs help to make orphans more interested to live in that area. Of course, our block has proposed an idea in making the Little Wing being partners because they have created new trends like music and active participation in Church activities” said Masayoshi.

“Ah, I see. I’m sure that your project is worth benefit for the community” said Kyō.

“Yeah, our community is very good in helping people who have developed themselves in making the right decisions. Also, orphans should not worry themselves once we adopt them to the Little Wing. By the end of the day, we will make sure that they will be able to become independent” said Masayoshi.

“Well, I would wait to see the orphans getting cared by the relatives of my friends. As for our group, which is composed of me, Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Sakura, my sister Kurumi, Kiriyume and Yuzuha, we would want to help you developing the Little Wing as long as the orphans should be ready to move on if they’re capable of being independent” said Kyō.

“That is correct, Kyō. Our group is composed of my colleagues and the relatives from different families and our goal is to maintain the relationship between us and the orphans. It really is interesting to take care of orphans just like me” said Masayoshi.

Kyō affirmed Masayoshi after Masayoshi described his own group and the goal of his project. “Your vision should be more focused on adapting new developments in helping orphans to be independent. That’s why you will make them happy and delightful once they’re growing up to be independent.”

“Well, you made it the right way to help our project growing and you could help them too!” said Masayoshi.

“Yeah!” said Kyō.

Then, someone ring the doorbell at the gate of the Nukui Residence.

“Oh, someone is arriving, Kyō. You should see them” said Masayoshi.

“Okay” said Kyō.

Kyō would go outside to open the gate and Kyō is surprised to see his parents, Keisuke and Azuki. “Mom! Dad! I guess you’re finally here!”

“Son, we were going to visit Masayoshi at the Little Wing Orphanage, but we found out that he’s very busy” said Keisuke Nukui.

“Yeah, where is he?” asked Azuki Nukui.

Masayoshi raises his hands to say hello to Kyō’s parents. “I’m right here, Azuki.”

“Oh, thank goodness, you’re finally here!” said Azuki.

“Mom, Dad, come on in. I have a surprise for you” said Kyō.

“Really?” asked Keisuke while Azuki is quiet.

“You’ll see” said Kyō.

Kyō accompanies his parents to Jun and her friends. “Mom, Dad, this is my friends, Jun Gotō, Nozomi Momijidani, Sora Kaneshiro, Sakura Toriumi, Kōme Ogi and Yuzuha Aigae.”

“Hi!” said Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Sakura, Kōme and Yuzuha.

“Hi!” said Keisuke and Azuki.

“Wow! I can’t believe that they’re so beautiful and cute. I wonder if we can have another daughter that looks like one of them” said Keisuke.

“Yeah!” said Azuki.

“Thanks, Keisuke and Azuki! I think you’re admiring me!” said Jun.

“Glad that you make it after you met my relatives” said Nozomi.

“Oh, I believe that it’s true” said Azuki. Nozomi smiles with her amazement after Azuki recognizes Nozomi and her relatives.

Kurumi meets her parents and hugs them. “Mom! Dad! I miss you so much!”

“Oh, my daughter, you’re looked beautiful today!” said Keisuke.

“Actually, it’s my new hairpin I bought from the fashion store” said Kurumi.

“Well, Dad, I’m sure that you’ll be able to remember my friends. Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura came from the Little Wing Orphanage while Kiriyume and Yuzuha came from the Soryu Island” said Kyō.

“Oh, I see. It appears that you’re getting along together. Ah, it reminds me of my relatives working together in a large workplace everyday” said Keisuke.

“You know, it’s our way of making smiles and peace together” said Sora.

“I’m sure that you’ll be more familiar with us because we’re going to live with your son” said Sakura.

“Well, I’m okay with that. Oh, by the way, I have a special gift for the new roommates right here” said Keisuke.

“Ta-da!” said Azuki. Keisuke and Azuki show the gifts for Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Sakura, Kōme and Yuzuha.

“Girls, there are your gifts from my parents!” said Kyō.

“I hope that you will like it!” said Kurumi.

Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Sakura, Kōme and Yuzuha unwrap the gift boxes before revealing the gifts.

“Wow! This is cool!” said Jun as she gets the headphone from the gift box.

“That’s so pretty!” said Nozomi as she gets the pink ribbon from the gift box.

“It’s so cute!” said Sora as she gets the mittens from the gift box.

“That’s so gorgeous!” said Sakura as she gets the ball pens from the gift box.

“It’s so adorable!” said Kōme as she gets the fan from the gift box.

“Ah, I love this one!” said Yuzuha as she gets the tumbler from the gift box.

“What do you say to my parents?” asked Kyō.

“Thank you very much!” said Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Sakura, Kōme and Yuzuha.

“You’re welcome!” said Keisuke and Azuki.

“So, what about the two of us?” asked Kyō.

“Ah, okay. Here are your gifts from us!” said Keisuke.

Kyō and Kurumi get the gifts from their parents before unwrapping the gift boxes.

Kyō reveals his gift and it’s a jacket. “Wow! A jacket!” Kyō wears the jacket to see if it’s fit for him. “Yep. I like it!”

Kurumi reveals her gift and it’s a pair of earrings. “Oh, it’s so beautiful!” Kurumi wears the earrings on her ears and then, feels happy to wear. “I like it!”

“Thank you very much, Mom and Dad!” said Kyō and Kurumi.

“You’re welcome!” said Keisuke and Azuki.

“I’m glad that you gave them all gifts to my friends. I believe that you missed your children” said Masayoshi.

“Yep. We were away from work and we’re planning to buy some gifts for our children and their friends” said Keisuke.

“We treat them to be more admired and prestigious. That’s why I took more time to buy some gifts before finding you. So, I forgot to tell you that my husband is going to give a gift to you” said Azuki while Keisuke shows the gift to Masayoshi.

“And also, give this gift to another guest” said Keisuke.

“Okay!” said Masayoshi as he gets two gifts from Keisuke before giving the gift to Sakiko.

“Oh, thank you, Masayoshi!” said Sakiko.

Masayoshi and Sakiko unwrap the gift boxes and they are surprised to see picture frame holder.

“Wow! That was a fine picture frame holder!” said Masayoshi.

“Yep. You can put a large picture onto that thing, so that you’ll be able to remember that day that you take a large picture as a thanksgiving to your friends right here” said Keisuke.

“It’s so beautiful! Should we keep them?” said Sakiko.

“Of course, Sakiko. You should be careful on that thing because it might be broken if you accidentally step or bump on to someone” said Azuki.

“Okay!” said Sakiko.

“I hope that you’ll be able to use those when you put a picture that you might never forget in your life” said Keisuke.

“Okay!” said Masayoshi and Sakiko.

“Dad, Mom, it’s a great pleasure to thank you for receiving this gift and I can’t wait to use it anytime I want” said Kyō.

“Yeah, me too, Momo and Dad! We’re connected together as one family. Right, oniichan?” said Kurumi.

“Yeah!” said Kyō.

“Oh, it’s so admiring. Well, then, I hope that you two will take care of them as long as they’re going to trust you” said Keisuke.

“As long as you’ll be able to develop their relationship, they will be able to help you any time they want. You can return the favor if they feel happy to help you” said Azuki.

“So, right now, we’re going to talk with Masayoshi and Sakiko about the future plans for all of us. So, if you’ll excuse, we’ll be going outside” said Keisuke.

“In the meantime, enjoy your evening!” said Azuki. Keisuke, Azuki, Masayoshi and Sakiko leave the house of the Nukui Residence to talk each other outside.

Once Kyō closes the door, Kyō looks at his Kurumi and his friends. “Okay, I guess that this night will be remembered as Jun’s Angels is now relocating to a new home.”

“That’s right, Kyō! There’s no place like home and it’s very peaceful to enjoy here!” said Kurumi.

“The harmonious enjoyment is very important for us to live together as one family of Angels!” said Jun.

“Our future has gone brighter with our plans going to be taken in action starting next week and hopefully, we’re ready to help our friends in building the new project, the Fuchsia and Celadon Week, soon!” said Nozomi.

“Hum, one angel can talk to anyone with his or her own heart. We’re always be ready to work together and build our very good friendship between the each of us” said Sora.

“I hope that our night will be remembered because tomorrow, we’re going to start our new life as roommates in the Nukui Residence” said Sakura.

“I will never forget this event to remember and I want to make sure that my friends will be always happy. Also, I hope that I will try my best to draw more illustrations for my friends even in my own club” said Kōme.

“Yeah, Kōme. We should all be ready for school tomorrow and I can’t believe that time is always fast! I believe that our night is a success with the gifts and joys! Right, everyone?” said Yuzuha.

“Yeah!” said Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Kyō, Sakura, Kurumi and Kōme.

“I think it’s time to play a new game of board games. What do you say?” said Kyō.

“I wanna play that game!” said Jun.

“Me too, Kyō!” said Nozomi, Sora and Kurumi.

“I can’t wait to be thrilled to play that game after I played it earlier!” said Yuzuha.

“Hibiki, I’m ready to play that game too!” said Kōme.

Sakura smiles after seeing the girls want to play board games with Kyō. “I can’t believe that they want to play with you!”

“Yeah, exactly! Let’s start the game together!” said Kyō.

“Okay!” said the members of Jun’s Angels. Jun’s Angels’ first day in the Nukui Residence becomes more important for them as they enjoyed staying at that place. Jun and her friends are expected to start their new life at the Nukui Residence and hopefully, their relationship with Kyō and Kurumi will be greatly developed. There’s no harmonious enjoyment without Jun’s Angels at the Nukui Residence, but of course, the most important thing that the members of Jun’s Angels will remember is that the harmonious enjoyment is a gratitude of being angelic, admired, awesome, brave and cute.

[Sherwin Riga]

After a two-week hiatus, I'm rising back once again after I have worked hard to continue the series! While the series is on semi-hiatus, the view count soars high that I have never seen! I guess that tonight's update is going to be a special day. So, enjoy reading tonight's update and I will have an announcement on the next update!

NOTE: This is the longest introduction I ever made before the interlude. I apologize if you're bored to read the intro, but if you want to read the interlude, then feel free to skip the intro. You can also to wish a happy birthday to Kanae Itō as her birthday is tonight (November 26).:)

I’m back, everyone!;) It’s been two weeks since I was last time updating Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts and this has gone déjà vu since another semi-hiatus happened in the past two weeks. Tonight’s update was supposedly released on November 11 (Sunday), but it was moved to tonight, November 26 (Monday) due to some Internet connection changes (from Internet connection problems to a new modem). I apologize for your inconvenience, but hopefully, you’ll be ready to read tonight’s update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts! So, brace yourselves because here comes Interlude 13! Enjoy reading Interlude 13!:)

While the series was in semi-hiatus, there are birthday celebrants everywhere in the month of November and there are five of them. There are three anime characters and two seiyus have celebrated their birthdays after Yūko Ono’s birthday. Now let’s start with the anime characters.

Kanae Itō was born in Nagano and is the voice actress of Aoi Ogiyama from Ro-Kyu-Bu! and Sakura Toriumi from Tenshi no 3P!/Angel's 3Piece! All these birthday seiyus will be dedicated to tonight’s update and also, tonight’s update will be more focused on the Family of Angels as they will welcome new guests at the Nukui Residence. Happy belated birthday, Ryōtarō and happy birthday, Kanae!:D

As Jun and the Angels have moved to their new home in the Nukui Residence, there are more friends that will also be moving to the Nukui Residence and they are the Mizuno sisters and the Isurugi sisters. In Tenshi no 3P!/Angel's 3Piece!, Mizuno and Isurugi are minor characters and they were the classmates of Kyō Nukui and Sakura Toriumi. In tonight’s update, Mizuno and Isurugi will be moving to the Nukui Residence, so that they will get along with the Angels whenever there will be an activity for the group. So, here comes tonight’s update Interlude 13, with the title, “Isurugi and Mizuno at the Nukui Residence”!

When Jun and the Angels are now staying together at the Nukui Residence, the group has planned to invite more friends to stay there to keep their harmonious enjoyment in the Nukui Residence. When someone pressed the doorbell, Sakura opens the door and to her surprise, it was Aimi Isurugi and Miyako Mizuno, along their older sisters, Ayame Isurugi and Miho Mizuno. Sakura and Kyō are surprised to see their classmates because Ayame and Miho have promised themselves to permanently stay with them at the Nukui Residence. Ayame and Miho wants to stay with Sakura, Kyō and Jun’s Angels, so that they’ll develop their relationship between them. Also, the main reason why the Isurugi sisters and the Mizuno sisters are going to stay at the Nukui Residence is because Ayame’s sister Aimi and Miho’s sister Miyako are fans of Lien de Famille, much to the delight of Kyō and Sakura. Kyō and Sakura would introduce the Isurugi sisters and the Mizuno sisters to the members of Jun’s Angels in his room. After that, the Isurugi sisters and the Mizuno sisters want to contribute with Jun’s Angels for the first anniversary concert of Jun’s Angels, which will be held on May 3 during the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. Sakura and Kyō accept their proposal and welcome them as new members of the Family of Angels. Now that the Isurugi sisters and the Mizuno sisters are part of Jun’s Angels and the Family of Angels, Jun’s Angels challenge the Isurugi sisters and the Mizuno sisters in a pillow fight, but with a twist, whoever gets hit by the pillow will be eliminated from the activity and forced to strip naked. The Isurugi sisters and the Mizuno sisters accepts the challenge from Jun’s Angels. In the game of pillow fight, the Isurugi sisters and the Mizuno sisters fight hard, trying to eliminate any member of Jun’s Angels, in the end, Jun’s Angels would be prevailed as winner of the match. It was a good fight for both teams and the Isurugi sisters and the Mizuno sisters were delighted after enjoyed the activity. With the Isurugi sisters and the Mizuno sisters becoming permanent residents of the Nukui Residence, Jun’s Angels are ready to prepare themselves for the Fuchsia and Celadon Week and their group’s first anniversary concert alongside the Family of Angels and their friends.

VOLUME 6: “PRESTIGIOUS AND DETERMINATION”
INTERLUDE 13: “ISURUGI AND MIZUNO AT THE NUKUI RESIDENCE”​

The interlude happened between Chapters 90 & 91 after Jun’s Angels have moved their home from the Little Wing Orphanage to the Nukui Residence.

It was 9:30 in the evening and Jun’s Angels are having time to enjoy at the Nukui Residence. Suddenly, someone presses the doorbell. Sakura would open the gate to find out who guests they are.

Sakura comes to a surprise to reveal the guests. “Oh, you must be Aimi and Miyako! You’re here!”

“Yep!” said Aimi Isurugi and Miyako Mizuno.

“As members of the Family of Angels,” said Aimi.

“…we’re here to stay here!” said Miyako.

“Oh, I see. I also find out that you two have your sisters coming as well!” said Sakura.

“Yep!” said Aimi and Miyako.

“Sakura! We came here to stay at your place just like we promised a few days ago” said Ayame Isurugi, a purple-haired second year high school student from Niida Nishi High School. Ayame is the classmate of Kyō Nukui and Sakura Toriumi.

“It’s been a while that we’re friends together and that’s how the girls did every time!” said Miho Mizuno, a brown-haired second year high school student from Niida Nishi High School. Miho is also the classmate of Kyō Nukui and Sakura Toriumi.

“Yeah! I hope that you’re ready to enjoy the night with us! Come on in!” said Sakura.

Aimi, Ayame, Miyako and Miho would enter the Nukui Residence and sit down in the sofa in the living room.

“Is Kyō staying here?” asked Ayame.

“Yeah, Isurugi. That’s where he and his sister lived here” said Sakura.

Kyō appears from the stairs. “That’s before, Sakura, but now, my home is now the new home of Jun’s Angels!”

“Ah, Kyō! You’re finally here!” said Ayame.

“It’s nice to see you, Kyō-san!” said Miho.

“Hi, Kyō!” said Aimi and Miyako.

“Hi, there, Ayame and Miho! And hello, Aimi and Miyako! Nice to see you here in the sofa” said Kyō.

“Yeah, Kyō. It’s so comfy and relaxing through my body” said Aimi.

“You can feel the air when you sit here in this place” said Miyako.

“It sure is, Aimi and Miyako” said Kyō.

“Kyō-san, I prepared some plums for you. If you want, take it” said Ayame, holding a basket of plums.

“It’s our gift for your group!” said Miho, smiling on her face.

Kyō gets the basket of plums and smiles back to Ayame and Miho. “That was a nice gift. Thank you very much, Ayame and Miho!”

“You’re welcome!” said Kyō.

“So, why your group had relocated your home to this place?” asked Ayame.

“Well, it’s a long story if you ask about how our group had relocated our home from the Little Wing, but it’s not complicated to leave the Little Wing after Masayoshi had given freedom to Jun, Nozomi, Sora and Sakura” said Kyō.

“Where are those three girls?” asked Miho.

“Oh, they are staying at my room. They are chatting each other with Kurumi, Kōme and Yuzuha. Of course, you should know that we’re having a lot of time to get along with them because our group is angelic and cute!” said Kyō.

“Ah, that’s nice, Kyō-san. Well, I have saw that place before, but we want to stay with you since you’re my classmate” said Miho.

“And also, you don’t have to worry about your friends without us!” said Ayame.

“Okay, Isurugi and Mizuno! You can stay with us any time you want. After all, we’re classmates in the same section” said Kyō.

“Yeah!” said Ayame and Miho.

“Wow! Your sisters have been friends with Kyō ever since Kyō had started to compose songs for Lien de Famille, and then Jun’s Angels. Do you love our band’s songs?” said Sakura.

“Yeah!” said Aimi and Miyako.

“My sister had been a fan of your band’s songs” said Miyako.

“My sister said that you have a great singer, a great composer and a great poet!” said Aimi.

“That was a great expression to me, Aimi and Miyako. Thanks, you two!” said Kyō.

“You’re welcome!” said Aimi and Miyako.

“Now, if you want to meet our team, let’s go upstairs” said Kyō.

“Okay!” said Ayame, Aimi, Miho and Miyako.

Ayame, Aimi, Miho and Miyako get their bags from the sofa in the living room to join with Kyō and Sakura, who are waiting for them at the stairs. Kyō, Sakura, Ayame, Aimi, Miho and Miyako would go upstairs and enter the room of Kyō.

At Kyō’s room, Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Kurumi, Kōme and Yuzuha are happy to meet new roommates.

“Ayame, Aimi, Miho and Miyako, this is our group, Jun’s Angels!” said Kyō.

“Our group is composed of two bands, Lien de Famille and Dragon≒Nuts. They have a long history of their rivalry due to Kōme admitted that she is jealous of Kyō because he had been getting along with Lien de Famille instead of Kōme” said Sakura.

“But now, the two groups have merged to create an angelic and beautiful group!” said Kyō.

“Since you remembered the two of us, we reintroduce ourselves once again. I’m Sakura Toriumi. I’m a second year high school student from Niida Nishi High School. I’m the co-manager and a producer of the group.”

“I’m Kyō Nukui. I’m a second year high school student from Niida Nishi High School. I’m the co-manager and a composer of the group.”

“I’m Jun Gotō. I’m a sixth grade student from Shiromidai Elementary School. I’m a vocalist and an electric guitar user, representing Lien de Famille.”

“I’m Nozomi Momijidani. I’m a sixth grade student from Shiromidai Elementary School. I’m a bassist, representing Lien de Famille.”

“I’m Sora Kaneshiro. I’m a sixth grade student from Shiromidai Elementary School. I’m a drummer, representing Lien de Famille.”

“I’m Kurumi Nukui. I’m a sixth grade student from Shiromidai Elementary School. I’m a keyboard pianist, representing Dragon≒Nuts.”

“I’m Yuzuha Aigae. I’m a sixth grade student from Shiromidai Elementary School. I’m a vocalist and a guitarist, representing Dragon≒Nuts.”

“And I’m Kōme Ogi. I’m a sixth grade student from Shiromidai Elementary School. I’m a vocalist and an illustrator, representing Dragon≒Nuts.”

The members of Jun’s Angels would shout together while holding their shoulders. “We want to commit together to be angelic and brave because we’re awesome, beautiful and cute!”

Ayame, Aimi, Miho and Miyako would say ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ before responding to the members of Jun’s Angels.

“This is awesome! You guys are so good to be angelic and brave!” said Aimi.

“I believe that you have been admired when you perform to us long time ago” said Miyako.

“I’m so glad that you have bonded together as a group. I know that your memories have been filled with enjoyment since the first performance of Lien de Famille” said Ayame.

“It’s a harmonious coincidence that both bands have joined forces to end the bickering and the selfishness of the other” said Miho.

“That’s true, everyone. This year, we’re about to celebrate our first anniversary of the original formation of Lien de Famille” said Jun.

“It will be held during the Fuchsia and Celadon Week and that’s why we want to invite everyone to watch our first anniversary concert and sing along with us!” said Nozomi.

“You can count on us if you want to contribute with us for the first anniversary concert this May 3!” said Sora.

“Ah, okay! We want to be part of the concert!” said Miho.

“Yeah!” said Ayame, Aimi and Miyako.

Sakura nods before saying to Ayame, Miho, Aimi and Miyako. “Okay, the four of you, I will let you part of the concert. Of course, you’re now joining our group, Jun’s Angels, and the Family of Angels as well!”

“Yeah, you’re all in for our first anniversary concert!” said Kyō.

Ayame, Miho, Aimi and Miyako are smiling before saying to Jun’s Angels. “Wow! That’s awesome! Thank you very much, Kyō and the Angels!”

“You’re welcome!” said Sakura, Kyō and the Angels.

“Now that we’re now members of Jun’s Angels and the Family of Angels, what do we do now for tonight?” asked Miyako.

“I wanna know if you have something special for us” said Aimi.

“Uh, I wonder if you can join with us for an activity” said Kyō.

“What activity, Kyō?” asked Ayame and Miho.

“It’s going to be our first night and we can do something different” said Kyō.

“For tonight, I will let the four of you to accept this friendly challenge” said Sakura.

“That’s why you have to be ready because the 8 of us have already prepared for tonight’s activity” said Jun.

“Okay, Jun, bring it on!” said Ayame.

The activity would be a big disadvantage for the new roommates due to Jun’s Angels have eight members while Ayame’s team have four members.

“For tonight’s activity, it’s a pillow fight activity. Alright, the rule of the game is the player must throw the pillow onto his or her opponent. If the opponent is hit, he/she is eliminated. At the end of the game, the team, who eliminates all opponents, wins the activity” said Kurumi.

“On the left side, that would be our group, Jun’s Angels” said Jun.

“And on the other side, the four of you, new roommates will team up together” said Kōme.

“Team up…” said Ayame.

“…together?” asked Miho, Aimi and Mizuno.

“Each side will have a barrier to prevent both sides to go near to each other. You must stay in your base and aim at the opponent at any direction you want” said Sakura.

“So, it’s going to be an eight vs. four match-up. Which means, the four of you will have to accept the fate whether you will win or lose in tonight’s activity” said Nozomi.

“I hope that you’re all ready for tonight’s activity” said Kyō.

“Yeah!” said Ayame, Miho, Aimi, Miyako, Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Sakura, Kurumi, Kōme and Yuzuha.

“Wait a second, everyone. There is one more thing. The player, who was eliminated, will be forced to strip naked” said Sora.

“What?!” said Ayame, Miho, Aimi, Miyako, Jun, Nozomi, Sakura, Kyō, Kurumi, Kōme and Yuzuha. They are shocked to hear what Sora said.

“You gotta be kidding me, Sora?!” said Jun.

“I can’t believe that Sora had added some rules to make things lustful!” said Ayame.

“Yeah, you’re right, Isurugi. Sora. Is it complicated?” said Miho.

“No, Mizuno. I always bring up some lustful things to make sure that you’ll express your feelings in the end even you’re going to lose the match with the disadvantage. So, I brought some juice in the table to make sure you’re ready to be refreshed after the game. Now, let’s get started!” said Sora.

“Are we clear with this activity?” asked Kyō.

“Yeah, we’re ready!’ said Ayame, Miho, Aimi, Miyako, Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Sakura, Kurumi, Kōme and Yuzuha.

“Then, let’s start the activity!” said Jun.

The activity starts with the play of rock-paper-scissors to see who gets first to play. Ayame and Jun would face each other. “Jan-ken-pon!” Jun picks paper while Ayame picks rock.

“Our team wins! We’ll be ready to defeat you!” said Jun while Ayame was disappointed.

Jun throws the pillow on their opponent’s base and it hits Miyako. Miyako is eliminated from the activity and is forced to remove her clothes until she is naked.

“Come on, nēchan, you can do it!” said Miyako, who is cheering for her sister, Miho, while covering her body with the blanket.

“Okay, onēsan!” said Miho. Miho throws the pillow on the Angels’ base and it hits Sakura. Sakura is eliminated from the activity.

“Sakura, you have been hit! I guess that we have to eliminate them as long as our stamina is okay” said Jun.

“Yeah, Jun” said Sakura, who removes her clothes before she become naked.

Sora would throw the pillow on their opponent’s base, but it was missed.

“That worth a shot” said Sora before she dodges when Aimi throws the pillow on to Angels’ base.

Another miss by the Angels before Ayame throws the pillow on Nozomi.

“Ah! That Ayame is so strong with her throw was so good!” said Nozomi, who removes her clothes before she is naked.

“It’s okay, Nozomi. I will take of this” said Kyō.

“Okay, Kyō. You can do it!” said Nozomi.

Kyō would throw the pillow on their opponent’s base and it hits Aimi. Aimi would be eliminated from the activity and was forced to strip naked. Miyako strips Aimi naked.

“Our opponents are not giving up, but I believe that our sisters are ready to stop them” said Aimi.

“Yeah, I hope so, Aimi” said Miyako.

“Throw at her!” said Ayame. Miho throws the pillow at Yuzuha. Yuzuha is eliminated from the activity and is forced to strip her clothes naked.

“Don’t worry, Yuzuha. We’ll cover it for you” said Kōme.

“Okay, Kiriyu-sama” said Yuzuha.

Kōme throws the pillow on their opponent’s base, but it was missed.

“Duck, Kōme-chan!” said Kurumi.

Kurumi and Kōme was managed to duck when Ayame throws the pillow at the Angels’ base.

“Are we good?” asked Kurumi.

“Yeah, I’m good. Kurumi, your turn” said Kōme.

“Okay!” said Kurumi. Kurumi throws the pillow on their opponent’s base.

Miho and Ayame would manage to dodge the hit. Miho would try again to throw the pillow on to the Angels’ base. Jun and Sora were able to dodge that.

“Aw, it missed!” said Miho. Jun is about to throw the pillow on to Ayame’s base. “Here comes Jun! Dodge!”

Ayame and Miho were able to dodge the throw before Ayame gets the pillow, preparing to throw the ball.

“Now’s our chance!” said Miho. Ayame throws the pillow on to Kōme and Kōme is out of the activity.

“Kōme-chan! Are you okay?” said Jun.

“I’m fine, Jun. I can’t believe that Ayame is so good in throwing pillows with her speed” said Kōme. Kōme removes her clothes before she finally gets naked. “Now, Jun, you have to watch out on Ayame and Miho. They are very quick in throwing pillows.”

“Okay, Kōme!” said Jun.

“Sora! Ready?” said Kyō. Sora nods before Kyō saying, “Go!” Sora throws the pillow on to the opponents’ base, but Ayame and Miho dodge quickly.

“Darn it! They’re too fast!” said Kyō.

Miho is ready to throw the pillow. “Everyone, duck!” said Jun. Jun, Sora, Kyō and Kurumi have managed to duck from the throw.

Both sides would miss hitting each other where Kyō and Ayame didn’t able to eliminate each other’s members. Then, it’s Kurumi’s turn to throw the ball. Kurumi would throw the pill on to the opponent’s base, but Ayame and Miho dodge that.

“What?! It didn’t hit on them?!” said Kurumi.

“Kurumi! Watch out!” said Kyō.

Kurumi would look at Ayame, who is throwing the ball on to the Angels’ base. Kurumi was able to dodge that throw.

“Wow! Those two girls are so fast!” said Kurumi.

“Yeah, but we have to be careful on those throws” said Kyō.

“Yeah” said Kurumi.

Jun throws the pillow on to Miho and Miho was eliminated from the activity.

Miho would remove her clothes before she is naked. “It’s up to you now, Ayame! Do it for us!”

“Okay, Mizuno!” said Ayame. Ayame would throw the pillow on to Sora. Sora is out of the activity.

“Sora!” said Jun, Kyō and Kurumi.

“Ayame is seemed to be quicker when she throwed the pillow on me. I can still help the three of you to defeat Ayame” said Sora, who removes her nightdress.

“But how?” asked Jun, Kyō and Kurumi.

Sora would look at the opponent’s base while she removes her bra and undergarment before she is completely naked. “Ayame is so quick in dodging the throws. Maybe, we can aim at her on different side.”

“Ah, I get it!” said Kyō.

“Are you sure that we’re going to make it?” asked Jun.

“Yeah, we can make it, Jun” said Kyō.

Jun and Kurumi nods quietly. “Now, do it!”

“Okay, Jun and Kurumi!” said Kyō. Kyō would throw the pillow at Ayame and Ayame is finally out of the activity.

“The Angels have won the match!” said Nozomi.

“That means, they’re going to stay on their clothes for the rest of the night!” said Yuzuha.

Jun, Kyō and Kurumi are exhausted from the activity. Ayame would walk to Jun, Kyō and Kurumi.

“Jun, Kyō and Kurumi, that was a nice game” said Ayame, who is naked with her body being covered with the pillow.

“Yeah, it was fun!” said Kurumi.

“You tried your best, but we still got the advantage against your team” said Kyō.

“I hope that you will feel good right after you finally accepted the fate” said Jun.

“Yeah, it was. But as far as I know, you three are not strip naked. Well, you three are exhausted. Let me undress all of you” said Ayame.

Ayame is about to strip Kyō, Kurumi and Jun when Nozomi and Sora stops Ayame.

“Stop, Ayame. I can take care of this. After all, we’re together. Right?” said Nozomi.

“Yeah, Nozomi” said Jun, Kyō and Kurumi.

Nozomi strips Jun, Kyō and Kurumi naked while Ayame sighs happily.

“At least, I’m looking forward to hanging out with you” said Ayame.

“Yeah, Ayame. It was a great night to be with us” said Kyō.

“You’re now part of our family now!” said Jun.

“You can smile if you express your admiration to us” said Kurumi.

“Okay!” said Ayame.

Ayame, Aimi, Miho, Miyako, Jun, Nozomi, Sora, Sakura, Kyō, Kurumi, Kōme and Yuzuha are drinking their juice in the mattress while they’re all completely naked.

“Ah! I’m feeling good, Ayame!” said Miho.

“Me too, Miho! I couldn’t wait to see what the Angels going to do for the concert” said Ayame.

“Well, there’s still a lot of things for them to line up” said Miho.

“Yeah, I wonder what they are going to do since we’re all here” said Ayame.

“The first anniversary concert is still working on who should perform first” said Sakura.

“We still have a lot of things to bring ideas for the concert. I believe that the people of Shiromidai should step up too” said Kyō.

“Yeah, Kyō! I wanna let you know that since we became friends with you, the two of us will work together to perform a song for our schoolmates in Shiromidai” said Aimi.

“It would be a great time to practice first before we’re going to perform in the stage” said Miyako.

“That’s right, Aimi and Miyako. You should be ready to perform in the concert, but I’m thinking about what the concert chart would be looked like” said Yuzuha.

“Oh, I know! How about the Angels will perform all songs in the concert? In addition, those who are friends of us will perform in the stage when we’re going to have a break” said Sora.

“Sounds like a great idea, Sora!” said Nozomi.

“Yeah, I think that we should give the Family of Angels their time to perform after about three songs” said Kōme.

“You bet, Kōme! That way, we have to make sure that our friends from the Family of Angels should be ready to put their melodies in to perform their song too!” said Nozomi.

“Yeah!” said Ayame, Miho, Aimi, Miyako and the members of Jun’s Angels.

“I agree with that, Nozomi. We’re not only the ones who can perform with their harmonies spread to the audience, but also our friends from the Family of Angels can!” said Jun.

“I hope that we will work hard in performing our songs on time and we won’t cram on assignments and quizzes in the following days” said Kurumi.

“Yeah! Once the concert starts, it’s time for us sing with harmony and melody! Right, everyone?” said Jun.

“Yeah!” said Ayame, Miho, Aimi, Miyako and the members of Jun’s Angels.

“The practice for the concert will be next week and also, we have to help our friends from the Family of Angels to join with us!” said Kyō.

“We’ll expect to be ready for the Fuchsia and Celadon Week and it’s going to be a fun week to enjoy with the activities we’re going to organize very soon!” said Sakura.

“I hope that we can start organizing the Fuchsia and Celadon Week on time, but for now, we’re going to focus on the club registration week” said Jun.

“Yeah, Jun! It’s going to be a long week to find new members in each club and of course, we got the Music Club and the Homewrecking Dragons!” said Nozomi.

“The club registration week will start tomorrow until Friday and hopefully, both clubs will be able to have new members for this year” said Sora.

“I hope that we can work together to have new members for the Music Club and the Homewrecking Dragons and also, we will convince our schoolmates to join the Family of Angels!” said Kurumi.

“It’s expected to begin the expansion of the Family of Angels with our schoolmates and then, we can search for some members of the Dragons of Ōta!” said Kōme.

“Those Dragons are hopefully going to join our group if they want to express their admiration and gratitude to us!” said Yuzuha.

“Yep. I hope that we will help our friends from the Family of Angels to work together as a group to bring the smiles and peace in our community!” said Jun.

“Yeah!” said Ayame, Miho, Aimi, Miyako and the members of Jun’s Angels.

“Ah, I think I’m feeling tired right now. We should sleep together and then, we’re all ready to go for tomorrow. Let’s sleep together now!” said Jun.

“Okay!” said Ayame, Miho, Aimi, Miyako and the members of Jun’s Angels. The Nukui Residence had their number of permanent residents as Ayame, Miho, Aimi and Miyako have been welcomed by Jun’s Angels to stay at the new home of Jun’s Angels. It was a great night for Jun’s Angels after they moved their home from the Little Wing Orphanage. Jun’s Angels are ready to convince the students of Shiromidai Elementary School to join the respective clubs, the Music Club and the Homewrecking Dragons, as the club registration week of Shiromidai Elementary School is about to begin tomorrow.

Jun’s Angels welcomed the Isurugi sisters and the Mizuno sisters to the group! The welcoming of the Isurugi sisters and the Mizuno sisters to Jun’s Angels and the Family of Angels increases the number of permanent residents of the Nukui Residence and the Family of Angels will look forward to expanding their membership once the club registration week starts in separate schools. In the next update, the Bravehearts will participate at the club registration week where they are applying to join their clubs for this school year. Also, an extended group was formed to support the progress of Keishin Academy and to emulate Yumi Kaneda’s agenda that made Shiromidai improving their development and progress. I’ll see you on November 29 (Thursday) for the next update!

NOTE #1: One thing that I have to let you know to prevent confusion on new characters is that Isurugi and Mizuno are Sakura and Kyō’s classmates from middle school and recently high school, but their first names are not mentioned in Tenshi no 3P!/Angel’s 3Piece! Instead, I named their first names of Isurugi and Mizuno to make it complete. While the younger Aimi Isurugi and Miyako Mizuno are sixth graders from Shiromidai and classmates of Jun’s Angels, the elder Ayame Isurugi and Miho Mizuno are second year high school students from Niida Nishi and classmates of Sakura Toriumi and Kyō Nukui.

NOTE #2: Due to a set of delays with the Internet connection changes, causing the series to undergo semi-hiatus, the second omake of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts will be postponed and moved to a later date. It will be announced in the next update for the schedule for the month of December. The next update will be on November 29, 2018 (Thursday) as Chapter 91 will be posted, with the title, “Prestigious Wind Ōta”.

 

[Sherwin Riga]

Tonight’s update will be focused about one of the first external groups that was formed by the Bravehearts and their allies inside and outside the Keishin Academy.

All schools are seen in different frames while Mimi discusses the club registration week.

“There are many teams to join including the basketball club and the prestigious student council. I hope that most of our Bravehearts have joined the clubs on time before their duties start next week. Now, while we’re all busy organizing the booth for our girls’ basketball team, we found some of the names that we’re going to see them next week. The names are Kazuko Kakimoto, Mizuki Koyama, Himeko Katayama, Mizuko Fujisaki, Yuka Suehiro, Chiyako Kayama, Hana Mikimoto, Asuka Yokoi and Kana Hanaoka.” Kagetsu continues the introduction while she and her teammates are preparing the booth for the Keishin Academy Elementary School girls’ basketball team.

While Kazuko and Mizuki are already joining the team as direct participation, Himeko and her group of friends are planning to join the team because they want to help us from capturing the first championship in the Ōta District Elementary School Girls’ Basketball Tournament. That’s their dream and that’s our dream as well. I’m glad that they’ll be here soon. Let’s head to the story as our Bravehearts are very busy in the club registration week at their respective schools. Are you ready to lead the team for the club registration week?” Masami finishes the introduction before telling her friends to be ready for the club registration week.

“Yeah!” said Tomoka, Saki, Airi, Hinata, Maho, Mimi, Kagetsu, Tsubaki and Hiiragi.

“Then, let’s go!” said Masami while the Bravehearts are happily excited for the club registration week.

“Yeah!” said Kyō and Sakura.

“As I’m a fan of Jun and the band, I love their songs and they’re awesome!” said Hiroe.

“Why, thank you, Hiroe. The two of us are managing the band together” said Kyō.

“Yeah, our band had been active for almost a year and we’re going to hold an anniversary concert soon” said Sakura.

“Ah, I see! But wait, what is the name of that band? I don’t know if I remember that band” said Hiroe.

“It’s Lien de Famille” said Kyō.

“Lien de Famille. Oh, I remember that now. Yeah, it’s Lien de Famille” said Hiroe.

“That’s right! Also, we’re also collaborating with the Dragon≒Nuts. So, our group is now known as Jun’s Angels!” said Sakura.

“Ah, okay! I remember those bands right now. But as you can see, you two are very interested with music. Am I right?” said Hiroe.

Once they complete filling up the names in their application forms, Kyō and Sakura give the application forms to Hiroe.

‘It’s all done, Hiroe!” said Sakura.

Hiroe smiles to Kyō and Sakura. “Good! I’ll see you next week for our first week!”

“Okay! We’ll see you next week, Hiroe!” said Kyō.

“See ya!” said Sakura. Kyō and Sakura wave their hands goodbye to Hiroe and walk together.

“I can’t believe that the Music Club like us!” said Sakura.

“Yeah, Sakura! I can’t wait to finally use some musical instruments in their music room! They’re awesome to see!” said Kyō.

“I believe so, Kyō! But we should take a break for lunch. What do you say?” said Sakura.

“I’m in, Sakura!” said Kyō.

Sakura smiles to Kyō while walking between the booths of different clubs. “That’s great!”

Meanwhile, at the Shiromidai Elementary School, the booths of the Music Club, the Homewrecking Dragons, the Shiromidai Elementary School Student Council and the Shiromidai Elementary School girls’ basketball team are shown separately as Jun and her friends including Asumi and Harumi are looking forward for new members of their respective clubs.

At the booth of the Music Club, Nozomi and Sora welcome a sixth grade student as Nozomi gives the student an application form. “Here is the application form to join our Music Club. Just sign up!”

A sixth grade student fills up the names in the application form before returning it to Nozomi.

Nozomi smiles to a sixth grade student before she and Sora look at the application form. “Now, let’s see. Uh… your name is Chiaki Nakano. And you’re coming from section 6-A. Good! Welcome to the Music Club!”

When Nozomi shakes the hands of Chiaki, Chiaki gratefully smiles to Nozomi and Sora. “Thank you, Nozomi! I can’t wait to see you singing in the stage!”

“You bet, Chiaki!” said Nozomi.

“Wow! I can’t believe that you two are well-known members of Lien de Famille! I love your band!” said Chiaki.

“Yeah, I believe that you’re a fan of us” said Nozomi.

“Hum, I hope that you will keep hearing our songs in your headphones. We’re happy to serve you in our club” said Sora.

“Okay!” said Chiaki.

“Well, then, I’ll see you next week for the first week!” said Nozomi.

“Okay!” said Chiaki. Once Chiaki leaves the booth, Nozomi and Sora feel optimistic to have a new member in their club.

Next, in the booth of the Homewrecking Dragons, Kōme and Yuzuha are seeing two students signing their application forms in the table. The names of the two students are Saki Kuriyama and Takahide Itō.

“Here you go!” said Saki Kuriyama and Takahide.

“Thank you!” said Yuzuha.

Kōme reads the application forms before announcing to Saki Kuriyama and Takahide. “Okay, welcome to the club, Saki and Takahide! I’m happy to announce that you two are now members of our Homewrecking Dragons!”

Yuzuha would give the wristbands to Saki Kuriyama and Takahide. “Congratulations, you two! You’re now officially welcomed by our club!”

“Thank you very much!” said Saki Kuriyama and Takahide.

Then, at the booth of the Shiromidai Elementary School Student Council, Jun and Kurumi are sitting together in the chair while Rina Fujisaki and Masakuni Omigawa are giving the flyers to the students.

“Come and join the Student Council!” said Rina Fujisaki.

“If you have problems, we’re going to help you to serve for our school!” said Masakuni Omigawa.

“I can’t believe that it’s working! Everyone is getting attention to join our student council!” said Rina.

“Yeah!” said Masakuni.

Later, an orange-haired fifth grade student arrives shortly and tries to ask one of the members if that booth is for the Student Council. “Is this the booth for the Student Council?”

“Why, yes, it is” said Rina.

“Ah, okay” said the orange-haired fifth grade student.

“Jun, someone is joining the Student Council” said Kurumi.

“Yeah, I believe so, Kurumi. I remember that person when we’re campaigning for the elections last winter” said Jun.

“Ah, Yeah, I remember that right now” said Kurumi.

The orange-haired fifth grade student approach to Jun and Kurumi. Jun talks to the orange-haired fifth grade student. “Hello, welcome to the Student Council! What is your name?”

“Chiyo Esaki. I’m a student from section 5-2.”

Jun remembers Chiyo as one of her supporters during the Student Council elections last winter. “Ah, Chiyo Esaki. What a beautiful name. Oh! By the way, my name is Jun Gotō. I’m the Secretary of the Shiromidai Elementary School Student Council and a member of the Music Club. It’s nice to meet you!”

“Nice to meet you too, Jun!” said Chiyo.

Kurumi smiles to Chiyo before introduces herself. “It’s nice to meet you, Chiyo! I’m Kurumi Nukui. I’m the President of the Shiromidai Elementary School Student Council.”

“Nice to meet you too, Kurumi!” said Chiyo.

Jun is very confident after Chiyo remembered Jun and Kurumi. “Ah, you finally know us, Chiyo! How wonderful you are here! So, what do you want to ask?”

“Uh, can I join the Student Council?” asked Chiyo.

“Why, yes, you can, Chiyo” said Jun as Kurumi gives the application form to Chiyo.

“This is the application form. If you complete this, you will be able to get privileges to join the Student Council” said Kurumi.

“Okay!” said Chiyo. Chiyo would fill the names in her registration before returning it to Kurumi. “There you go!”

“Thank you!” said Kurumi.

“I hope that you will be able to help us growing up development in making Shiromidai more progressive as they could” said Jun.

“Okay, Jun! I’ll see you tomorrow!” said Chiyo as she leaves the booth to stay goodbye to Jun and Kurumi.

“Okay, Chiyo! Bye!” said Jun, who waves her hands goodbye to Chiyo.

“Bye, Chiyo!” said Kurumi, who also waves her hands goodbye to Chiyo.

“Ah, I can’t believe that we’re getting stronger in acquiring new members for this year’s Student Council!” said Jun.

“Yeah! I hope that we’ll be able to improve our school development with the support of reformed visions and new policies that can empower Shiromidai as one of the most growing elementary schools in Ōta” said Kurumi.

“Ah, yeah, I agree with that, Kurumi!” said Jun.

Finally, at the booth of the Shiromidai Elementary School girls’ basketball team, Asumi and Harumi are sitting together in their chairs. Mieko Sugihara also sits beside Asumi.

“With the dominance of Kōsaten-hatsu in the last winter’s student council elections, I believe that Shiromidai had improved the policies in regular and extra-curricular clubs” said Mieko Sugihara.

“Yeah, Coach. That means, everybody will try their best to improve their studies and also, they’ll have new interests in developing their hobbies and making new friends when they finally join to their respective clubs” said Asumi.

“It benefits to make more students active in clubs at any other time, but of course, they should be more careful with their requirements to finish” said Mieko.

“Yeah, definitely, Mieko, the students are ready to develop themselves in making the clubs more frequent at some other time, maybe after class” said Harumi.

“Of course, Harumi!” said Mieko.

Then, two students finish filling their names in their application forms and gives them to Asumi.

“Okay! Looks like you two are done registering the names! Now, let’s take a look” said Asumi. Asumi reads the two application forms before Mieko reads the names of the applicants.

“You must be Suzuka Aoyama and Yasue Hanagata? Am I right?” asked Mieko.

“Yeah!” said Suzuka Aoyama and Yasue Hanagata.

“Okay, here’s what you’re gonna do. I want you to meet up at the tryout next week to see who strong you are when you’re playing basketball. Do you understand?” said Mieko.

“Yes, Ma’am!” said Suzuka and Yasue.

“Good! We’ll announce the date of the tryout on Friday. So, don’t be late on that day!” said Mieko.

“Okay!” said Suzuka and Yasue. After which, Suzuka and Yasue leaves the booth while Mieko feels determined to have new players in the team.

“I’m feeling content to see how they play with their own skills. I’m sure that have special talents if they want to prove themselves to join the basketball team” said Asumi.

“I’m sure that those girls are going to be coming back a few days to know the schedule of the tryout” said Harumi.

“Yep. I believe that they’re very good players who have the guts to play basketball. I hope that they’re ready to be on Friday, so that I will announce the schedule of the tryout. You two, later on, after class is over, I hope that you’ll see more girls if they are interested to play basketball when you’ll be leading the booth in the afternoon” said Mieko.

“Yes, Coach! We got it!” said Asumi and Harumi.

Asumi pulls her phone to call Jun. “Jun, looks like we have new members in our club.”

“That’s great!” said Jun.

“Ah, I believe that the basketball team is getting more interested in bringing the ‘wind’ players because they’re good in keeping their stamina and being capable to perform shots in their court” said Kurumi.

“That’s true, Kurumi. Asumi and Harumi are very good in performing quick and rapid shots as well as their resiliency. I hope that they’ll be able to dominate the district tournament, but right now, it’s gonna be depends on what their Coach do” said Jun.

“Yeah!” said Kurumi.

“Jun! Kurumi! Rina! Masakuni! I think our routine is done. Now, we should go back to our classroom once the bell rings” said Nozomi.

“Okay!” said Jun, Kurumi, Rina and Masakuni. Jun, Kurumi, Rina and Masakuni smile together to Nozomi, Sora, Kōme, Yuzuha, Asumi and Harumi.

At the Keishin Academy, most of the Bravehearts manage to join new clubs while some students have already getting their direct invitations to join their clubs like Tomoka and the girls in the middle school girls’ basketball team and Natushi and the boys in the middle school boys’ basketball team.

At the booth of the Keishin Academy Middle School Basketball Team, Tomoka, Maho, Saki, Airi, Hinata, Natsuhi, Daisuke, Tsutomu, Yoshinori and Akitsugu are looking at Toshihiro Kanzaki, Chinami Itagaki, Ayaka Kutaragi, Momoe Nagashima and Teruko Sugiyama, who were filling their application form.

Team Minato: Tomoka Minato, Saki Nagatsuka, Airi Kashii, Hinata Hakamada, Maho Misawa, Natsuhi Takenaka, Daisuke Kikuchi, Tsutomu Fukada, Yoshinori Toshima and Akitsugu Wakui
New Camellian Dragons: Toshihiro Kanzaki, Chinami Itagaki, Ayaka Kutaragi, Momoe Nagashima and Teruko Sugiyama

“We’re done filling the names in the application form!” said Teruko. Toshihiro, Chinami, Ayaka, Momoe and Teruko finish filling the names in the application form.

“That’s great! Give it to me” said Tomoko Mitani.

“Okay” said Toshihiro, Chinami, Ayaka, Momoe and Teruko as they give the application forms to their respective head coaches Tomoko Mitani, Nami Taniguchi, Tsutomu Konishi and Tōru Okazaki. Tomoko, Nami, Tsutomu and Tōru read the profile of five members of the New Camellian Dragons. After that, Tsutomu affirms the inclusion of the five members of the New Camellian Dragons to join the Keishin Academy Middle School Basketball Team.

“Okay, I accept your application form and you’re all accepted to join the basketball team!” said Tsutomu Konishi.

“Alright!” said Toshihiro, Chinami, Ayaka, Momoe and Teruko.

“Now, while Chinami, Ayaka, Momoe and Teruko are heading to the girls’ basketball team to participate at the tryout alongside Tomoka, Maho, Saki, Airi and Hinata, Toshihiro will join with Natsuhi, Daisuke, Tsutomu, Yoshinori and Akitsugu for the tryout of the boys’ basketball team” said Nami Taniguchi.

“Of course, all members who are directly joining to the team will still participate at the tryout next week. Do you understand?” said Tōru Okazaki.

“Yes, Sir!” said the members of Team Minato and the New Camellian Dragons.

“Good! Now, please come back on Friday as we’re going to schedule the tryouts for both boys’ and girls’ basketball team. It is expected to take place before the Golden Week. So, don’t be late on that day” said Tomoko.

“Yes, Coach! We understand!” said the members of Team Minato and the New Camellian Dragons.

“Good. You can enjoy the rest of the lunch hour because the next class is about to begin in fifteen minutes. Please come on time at your respective buildings before the bell rings. Okay?” said Tsutomu Konishi.

“Yes, Coach!” said the members of Team Minato and the New Camellian Dragons.

The members of Team Minato and the New Camellian Dragons leave the booth of the Keishin Academy Middle School Basketball Team.

“I can’t believe that all of us will be joining the basketball team!” said Teruko.

“Yeah! It seems that we’re all together to join the team and hopefully, we’ll be able to join the main team soon. However, I don’t know if all of us will be joining the team” said Tomoka.

“Well, we should take part of the reserve team system. That way, we would be able to improve our skills and attributes while giving more time to prepare for the next major competition. Since both boys’ and girls’ basketball teams are expected to field at last 15 members of the team, we should all be ready to join the main team as long as we’re good to go” said Saki.

“It means that we will be able to participate at the middle school prefectural tournament this summer” said Airi.

“When that tournament to be held?” asked Chinami.

“It’s either the second or third week of July. That’s where the week break of the Interhigh preliminary event in Tokyo. If we can make it to the main team, we’re all ready to step up in the future” said Maho.

“Oh, our team and your team will work together to dominate the middle school prefectural tournament. Right, everyone?” said Hinata.

“Yeah!” said the members of Team Minato and the New Camellian Dragons.

“It’s going to be a big revolution that the people of Keishin is going to witness at the middle school prefectural tournament” said Toshihiro.

“That’s right, Toshihiro! We have to work together as a team to make sure that we’re going to make it to the main roster before reaching the month of July” said Natsuhi.

“Yeah, it’s not gonna be easy to join the Keishin Academy Middle School Basketball Team, but you have the guts to show your talents in the court. Tomoko and Tsutomu will make us proud if we’re performing very well” said Daisuke.

“Since we’re forming a formidable team, we’ll make sure that it’s our chance to make it history in winning the prefectural tournament, so that we’re going to the Nationals” said Ayaka.

“Yep. I also expect that Mimi and her friends will be joining with us next year, but I believe that when it happens, maybe Teruko and Chinami are going to play more time while Ayaka and Momoe will be going to the reserve team to compete for practice matches before the finalization of the roster is going to be held a week before the prefectural tournament” said Akitsugu.

“There’s no doubt that we will form a Dream Team and it’s our chance to reach up to the stars and win the prefectural tournament” said Yoshinori.

“I believe that with half of the team are either second or third year students, we will come out as a large force in the team. I should be dreaming if that’s going to happen after the tryout” said Tsutomu.

“Yeah, no one will break a formable team and that’s why with the formidable alliance between the Bravehearts and the New Camellian Dragons, we will expect to make it to the top soon” said Momoe.

“That’s right, Momoe. I know that we’re all ready to step up this year even if it’s five or more students coming from our class. If it’s either gonna happen this year or next year, we’ll be ready to dominate together as one team!” said Tomoka.

“Yeah!” said the members of Team Minato and the New Camellian Dragons.

While the members of Team Minato and the New Camellian Dragons are going to join the Keishin Academy Middle School Basketball Team, the Keishin Academy Elementary School Basketball Team is expected to acquire new members of the team that is either coming from the fifth grade or the sixth grade.

Himeko and the members of Team Purple are trying to find the booth of the Keishin Academy Elementary School Basketball Team.

Team Purple: Himeko Katayama, Mizuko Fujisaki, Yuka Suehiro, Chiyako Kayama, Hana Mikimoto, Asuka Yokoi, Kana Hanaoka, Ichiro Hosoya, Sōichi Maeyama, Toshiya Shimura, Masafumi Mitamura and Hisamitsu Tsuchida

“With our friends are heading to their regular clubs, now we’re going to have one more thing to finish our club hunting goal: to join the Keishin Academy Elementary School Basketball Team” said Himeko.

“Yeah!” said the members of Team Purple.

“I can’t wait to see how they’re going to perform with their talented skills and versatile moves in the court” said Ichiro.

“Yeah, Ichiro, we will be ready to step up to play for the basketball team. Just like what Tomoka said, we know how we brave we are if we’re going to succeed. Right, everyone?” said Mizuko.

“Yeah!” said the members of Team Purple.

“Now, we’re going to find that booth. I don’t know if the booth is here…” said Yuka, who tries to find the booth of the Keishin Academy Elementary School Basketball Team. “…or here. Argh! I can’t see that sign!”

“Well, maybe we’re in the wrong place, Yuka. This is the regular club area for the elementary school students. There’s no booth for the basketball team” said Sōichi.

“Yeah, you’re right, Sōichi. Maybe, the extracurricular clubs including sport clubs might be located other side right… here!” said Chiyako. Chiyako points the sign where the area for extracurricular clubs is located on the right side of the regular club area.

“Ah, that’s it! There’s where the basketball club is located in that area!” said Mizuko.

“Good thinking, Chiyako!” said Himeko.

“You’re welcome!” said Chiyako.

“Now, let’s go to that booth over there and sign up for the basketball team!” said Yuka.

“Okay!” said the members of Team Purple.

The members of Team Purple run together to find the booth for the basketball club at the area where the extracurricular clubs are offered. Himeko would finally found the booth that says, “Basketball Team”.

“There it is! The booth for the basketball team!” said Himeko.

The members of Team Purple stop running to see the booth of the Keishin Academy Elementary School Basketball Team. Some are amazed to see the booth where Mimi and her friends are staying there.

“Now, let’s go!” said Himeko.

The members of Team Purple would go near the booth of the Keishin Academy Elementary School Basketball Team where they will meet Mimi and her friends.

Team Balguerie: Mimi Balguerie, Kagetsu Hakamada, Masami Fujii, Tsubaki Takenaka, Hiiragi Takenaka, Kazuko Kakimoto, Mizuki Koyama, Naoki Hatano, Shun Hinouchi, Ken Yamamoto, Shinobu Higashimura, Sukehiro Gotō and Takahiro Sugihara

“Oh, hi, Himeko!” said Mimi.

“Hi, Mimi! It’s nice to see you again!” said Himeko.

“Yeah, it’s nice to see you too! I can’t wait to see you here along with your trustworthy friends right here” said Mimi.

Himeko looks at her friends before talking to Mimi. “Ah, yes, Mimi. We would have been tried if we can’t find that booth in circles, but we’re manage to see that sign.”

“Ah, I get it. It looks like they’re tired. Give them something refreshed, Hii” said Tsubaki.

“Okay!” said Hiiragi. Hiiragi gives Himeko a bottle of water. “Here, Himeko. Drink this.”

“Thanks, Hiiragi!” said Himeko. Himeko drinks the water and feels refreshed after drinking all of it. “Wow! I feel refreshed again!”

“See, I told you that you have to be refreshed and well-prepared. I trust you since our match at the Hasegawa Cup” said Hiiragi.

“Wow! You think that I’m very strong enough to refresh and of course, it’s true that you trust me after we met each other at the Hasegawa Cup” said Himeko.

“Uh, Hiiragi, can we get some water too?” asked Ichiro.

“Okay, then!” said Ichiro.

Later, the rest of the members of Team Purple are refreshed, saying, “Ah!”

“I feel good right now!” said Yuka.

“Yeah, that water tastes good” said Hana Mikimoto.

“I can’t be thirsted again’ said Toshiya Shimura.

“Thanks, Hiiragi!” said the members of Team Purple.

“You’re welcome!” said Hiiragi.

“Now, since you’re all refreshed, I think you’re now allowed to fill up these application forms, so that you will become a bonafide member of the Keishin Academy Elementary School Basketball Team” said Kagetsu.

Shun and Masami give the application forms to every member of Team Purple. After a few minutes, the members of Team Purple finish filling the blanks on their application forms and give it to Mimi.

“Okay, now, since you’re all here, Team Purple, you’re all welcome to the Keishin Academy Elementary School Basketball Team!” said Mimi.

“Our elementary school basketball team had been history in progressing throughout the years and we’re expecting to regain the title this year” said Naoki.

“Last year, the girls’ basketball team of the Keishin Academy Elementary School had been founded by Tomoka Minato, a former member of the Keishin Academy Elementary School girls’ basketball team and now she’s currently joining the Keishin Academy Middle School girls’ basketball team” said Kagetsu.

“It’s been an honor that our basketball program in the elementary school division had been developed right after the formation of the girls’ basketball team” said Shun.

“This year, we’re having a big revolution like the way the other teams did, thanks to the management led by the members of the Pink and Plum. Most of our members are gone prestigious and cute while the rest are being handsome and expressive” said Masami.

“We want to step up to make sure that we’re going to dominate the Ōta District Elementary School Boys’ and Girls’ Basketball Tournament this winter. We’re all brave enough to make our hearts being our friend” said Sukehiro.

“When we say the word ‘willpower’, we want to empower ourselves and hopefully, we’re going to rally with the victory” said Takahiro.

“This year, it’s our chance to win the double with a formidable roster of our boys’ basketball team and girls’ basketball team” said Kazuko.

Mizuki and the members of the Keishin Academy Elementary School girls’ basketball team show their willpower while Mizuki shows the rest of the team. “Our girls’ basketball team is composed of our captain Mimi Balguerie, vice captain Kagetsu Hakamada, Masami Fujii, Tsubaki and Hiiragi Takenaka, Kazuko Kakimoto and me, Mizuki Koyama.”

Shinobu Higashimura and the members of the Keishin Academy Elementary School boys’ basketball team demonstrate their pride while Shinobu shows the rest of the team. “Our boys’ basketball team is composed of our captain Naoki Hatano, vice captain Shun Hinouchi, Sukehiro Gotō, Takahiro Sugihara, Ken Yamamoto and me, Shinobu Higashimura.”

“Our team never loses our willpower. Willpower will make us strong and keeps our capabilities of using your talent in the court. There’s a true challenge for everyone to excel in academics and basketball” said Hiiragi.

“With our cooperation, wisdom willpower being present, the Keishin Academy Elementary School Basketball Team will be braver enough to win games with our own fighting spirit. The spirit of Keishin is the most important thing that we will not gonna lose because we reach for the stars like Tomoka, my brother Natsuhi and our friends did” said Tsubaki.

“Building a great team that has pure heart will make us stronger and we’re ready to reach for the stars this year. When we step up in the court, we know that it’s time to shine and winning is not always everything, it’s a just a virtue of determination” said Ken Yamamoto.

“That’s why we’re ready to empower ourselves, so that we can work together as one Bravehearts! Right, everyone?” said Mimi.

“Yeah!” said the members of Team Balguerie.

“Wow! I believe that you have a bright future in your hands, Mimi. I like your dreams because it’s my dream too!” said Himeko.

“Ah, I see. I hope that all of you are going to be ready to step up because the first training will be held next week, but, we’ll announce the schedule of our first training on Friday. So, get ready to participate in our first training soon” said Mimi.

“Okay!” said the members of Team Purple.

“Right now, we should go back to our class. Let’s meet each other later, Himeko” said Mimi.

“Okay, Mimi!” said Himeko.

The bell rings as the lunch break is over. As Mimi and her friends are about to leave the club fair, Himeko calls Mimi and her friends. “Wait, Mimi!”

Mimi looks at Himeko and her friends. “Oh, Himeko, we don’t have time to go back to class.”

“Yeah, I know…” said Himeko. Himeko makes a deep breath before continuing to talk to Mimi. “…can I ask you something?”

“Okay” said Mimi.

The members of Team Balguerie and Team Purple would walk together to go to the elementary school building. Later, after the class is over, the students of Keishin Academy in the elementary school building start to pack their things, so that they will go to their respective homes.

In the room of section 5-2, at the fourth floor of the elementary school building, the members of Team Purple are talking to each other.

“I believe you’re right about what Mimi said, Himeko. But to be honest, I don’t know who those people from the Pink and Plum are. Can you explain it to me?” said Chiyako.

“Sure, I can, Chiyako. Mimi said that she had been friends with Erika Satō because Erika had the same personality as Mimi. When she talked about what the Pink and Plum is, Mimi observed the members of that group form the day she transferred to Keishin up to the current week” said Himeko.

The flashback shows Mimi talking about the Pink and Plum to Himeko while both teams have entered to the elementary school building. “The Pink and Plum is one of the prestigious groups in Keishin Academy and also, an affiliate of the North Ōta Purple and Punk Club. The Pink and Plum is led by Airi Yamaguchi, the current Vice President of the Keishin Academy High School Student Council. She is one of the moderate liberal leaders in Ōmori and coming from the Yamaguchi-Shibuya clan through her paternal side of her family. As a close friend of the current President Mamiko Sugiyama, Airi had allowed her group to form the original twelve sections to represent her friends as compact and ambitious colleagues throughout her time in Keishin. My friend, Seijirō Hakamada, had been a member of that group and he was actively participating in the activities of the Kirihara Middle School a few years ago. He’s such a nice guy to come out as the Crimson Big Man Maker because he is very fast in taking actions and he always being close to his former friends in Keishin Academy. Airi said that she and her friends want to take liberal art courses when they will reach college soon and that’s her dream. Everyone knows that the Pink and Plum is a group of students who have been idealized in admiring anyone who has a pure heart and an unwavering soul.”

“Wow! That was a long story, Mimi! I believe that you have a lot of connections with them even you have created your group” said Himeko.

“Thanks, Himeko! Kagetsu and I were very close to each other and of course, I frequently attend Kagetsu’s meetings with her friends. Of course, you know how admire and cute they are with something care for their friends. At the end of the day, the two are really alike to each other and we have dreams too to make it reality. I’m sure that you will like it too!” said Mimi.

“Yeah!” said Himeko. The flashback ends, and this would lead to Himeko’s summary of how the Pink and Plum was formed. “The Pink and Plum is large group composed of 24 sections. The official colors are pink, magenta and violet as most of the members are identical to their hair color. They have a large connection with other groups coming from the Keishin Academy. They mostly often participate in liberal art activities and basketball competitions within the Ōmori and Nishina area.”

“Does any member who have sported the kind of hair color?” asked Asuka Yokoi.

“Uh, only one of our members have sported that kind of color, which is Kana Hanaoka. She had a violet-haired color and a very respectful student in her class” said Himeko.

“Well, to be honest, I like my hair color because it feels like I’m very ambivalent to anyone like you” said Kana Hanaoka.

“Yeah, indeed, it is, Kana” said Himeko.

“Uh, also, I believe that in our class, there a few students who sport that kind of hair color. Most likely people who sported their hair either lavender or mauve, they look close to them if they can get along with their deeds” said Ichiro.

“That’s right, Ichiro. I’m sure that this observation seemed to be true because a few of our schoolmates have been interested in drawing illustrations or taking pictures around the school. We don’t know if they can able to take courses that are close to liberal arts when they are going to college soon” said Himeko.

“Also, with the continuous expansion of the Pink and Plum, there are a lot of groups have formed based on their preference like the Pink-Haired Students Club. That’s where Hinata and Kagetsu became members of that group” said Yuka.

“Ah, you’re right about that group, Yuka. I have a feeling that in our section, there are at least four members have joined that group. They are Rieko Nanase, Momoe Fuchigami, Miyū Egawa and Satomi Takahashi” said Sōichi Maeyama.

“Well, they preferred to be active in buying fashion clothes that are matching on their hair color. I believe that they’re all respectful and cute” said Asuka.

“Respectful and cute, indeed, Asuka. They are very generous too!” said Hana.

“So, Himeko, are you sure that we’re all invited to attend the meeting?” asked Toshiya.

“Uh-huh, definitely correct!” said Himeko.

“I believe that the current Student Council President Erika Satō is planning to create an external group that are very common to each other and of course, it’s going to be more compared to the Pink and Plum. Her brother Ichirō Satō is a member of the Pink and Plum-1 and of course, Erika had an idea inspired from her brother’s group. I believe that it’s not going to be a secret group, but a big agreement between the Pink and Plum and her group, the Prestigious Charm” said Kana.

“That’s correct, Kana” said Himeko.

“So, that’s what we’re going to be prepared for that meeting. I hope that the other students will be here” said Toshiya.

“Of course, there are some of the students in Keishin Academy have been very close to Erika and they know what they want to inspire from the Kōsaten-hatsu of the Shiromidai Elementary School” said Hisamitsu Tsuchida.

“To summarize this, Erika is compared to Yumi Kaneda, a student from Tamagawa Middle School, because she had a perfect agenda to progress their school’s development in producing top students in examinations per term” said Ichiro.

“I agree with that, Ichiro” said Himeko.

“Well, I like your observation about Erika Satō” said Mizuko.

“I believe that it’s true to make Keishin more developed and progress with many of Erika’s platforms are modelled from Yumi Kaneda’s own platform” said Yuka.

“Oh, that’s another key related to my analysis. Thanks for adding some information about my analysis” said Ichiro.

“No problem, Ichiro!” said Yuka.

At the door of the room of section 5-B, the members of Team Balguerie arrive to meet the members of Team Purple.

“Hi, Himeko! Looks like you’re waiting for us” said Mimi.

“Yeah! We’re talking about your explanation earlier and I believe we have a lot of connections we collect from your analyses, Mimi” said Himeko.

“Ah, okay, I understand about your observation, but I’m very kind to hear more about those. Right now, let’s take you to the meeting place where my friends are going to attend” said Mimi.

“Okay!” said Himeko.

The members of Team Balguerie and Team Purple would go to the Recreational Center where the meeting will take place in a few minutes.

“Everyone, this way!” said Mimi.

The members of Team Balguerie and Team Purple enter to the conference room.

“Hey, look who’s here! Hi, Kagetsu!” said Erika.

“Hi, Erika! I’m accompanying my friends to this room and hopefully, we’ll start some plans for our new group!” said Kagetsu.

“Okay!” said Erika.

The members of Team Balguerie and Team Purple would sit down in the chair before Kagetsu and Mimi sit down beside her fellow friends.

The students sitting in the table are the following: Kagetsu Hakamada, Mimi Balguerie, Erika Satō (President of KAES Student Council), Naoki Hatano, Hanako Kotobuki, Junichi Morizawa, Fūko Shibasaki, Atsushi Aiba, Haruka Fujimura, Asami Kondo, Minae Kojima, Aimi Tokida, Yoshiyuki Naomoto, Hikari Endō, Manami Ōguro (Keishin Academy Writers’ League Elementary School Division editor-in-chief), Hikaru Higuchi (cousin of Manaka Higuchi), Rina Sugaya (vice president of section 6-D), Hirotaka Okuno, Tomoya Kawauchi, Katusei Manabe and Sachiko Sugai (member of the KAES Student Council).

“Now, with all members are present at the conference room, everyone, let’s start the meeting!” said Erika.

The meeting at the conference room begins where Erika is presiding the meeting.

“In case you’re wondering, why we’re all here in this room. It’s because we’re going to form an extended group composed of mostly my friends from my Prestigious Charm and some members from different regular clubs. We should emulate the idea from Yumi Kaneda where her platforms made Shiromidai improving their development and their enrollment rate is increasing recently” said Erika.

“Also, with the ideas of creating an extended group were also been supported by different groups, we know that we’re ready to make Keishin more progressive with the way the students have their opportunities to step up and make it to the top students list in the exams” said Hikaru Higuchi.

“That’s why, this will be our opportunity to create a new group that will be compared to the Pink and Plum. I don’t know if we’re ready to take the action, but I guess that we’ll be preparing some plans to do once we’ll start forming our own group today” said Atsushi Aiba.

“In one of our plans, we’re hopefully going to have full support to the teams who will be participating at the Ōmori Invitationals this coming Saturday. The Prestigious Charm will be participating alongside the other teams coming from the eastern part of Ōta, mostly in Ōmori, will compete for the championship and one winner will advance to the Ōta League Cup next year” said Minae Kojima.

“On the other hand, we’re planning to partner with different elementary schools to undergo the segregation recycling policy. This policy applies all students to clean their room every Friday afternoon. We should save our Mother Earth if we can get rid of garbage and paper in the thrash and also, we want to have a better environment that the students would want to vision our school being a friendly place” said Hikari Endō.

“Another thing that the Keishin Academy needs to improve is that the sports day festivities will have a new point system to determine the overall champion for each category. Before, we don’t have that system because we only going to determine with the most wins in different events get the trophy. Now, we’ll allow the Sports Department to calculate the results of the events and it will be calculated by the end of the day. There will be three trophies up for grasp and they’ll be going to determine the top three sections to have the most points after the festivities are over” said Fūko Shibasaki.

“The sports day will be held on June 5 and everyone is encouraged to participate at the events where all events are going to be scheduled in three weeks before the sports day, which will be on May 15. The PE teachers will give you some details regarding the sports day and practices are allowed every Saturday” said Tomoya Kawauchi.

“For other things to tackle, we will have a leadership seminar to be held a week after the Golden Week, a bonfire activity to be held in May, a book drive to be held in June and finally, an out-of-town outdoor activity to be held very soon. We will try our best to suggest more ideas, so that they will include them to our school calendar. There are also field trips to be held in the second term, but the school administration will be covering those events in collaboration with the faculty union and the Student Council” said Sachiko Sugai.

“Next up, our group had an opportunity partner with the Pink and Plum and also, the Bravehearts. The idea is that we will collaborate activities with them, in order to allow students in Keishin Academy to step up and participate. Different groups who have been associated with the Pink and Plum are also planning to partner with us, which means that we’re going to agree their plans in order to increase our friendship between us and them” said Rina Sugaya.

“The Keishin Academy Elementary School Student Council is composed of one president, one vice president, one secretary, one treasurer, one auditor, one public relations officer, one sergeant-at-arms, one peace officer and twenty-eight assemblymen. Our group is planning to revise the electoral system with the election process to be scheduled earlier as expected just like the Shiromidai and its neighboring schools did” said Naoki.

“Then, we’re planning to expand the number of assemblymen from twenty-eight to thirty-three due to the increase of enrollees in the last five years. The middle school student council and the high school student council are also planning on that idea whereas the electoral commission will be meeting with the top officials per division to talk about the current proposal once it reaches the early week of the third term. The school elections are held every February and we’re hopefully going to let the electoral commission to accept our proposals” said Junichi Morizawa.

“Once our proposals are pushed through to the electoral commission, we’ll be able to revise the electoral system and to increase the seats of the student assembly from 28 to 33. Also, we’ll expect to make the elections held by the end of February before the final examination week” said Hirotaka Okuno.

“Hopefully, all of our plans will be success because we’re very determined to make Keishin more progressive with many students support our platforms this year” said Hanako Kotobuki.

“If you’re all agree to our plans, raise your hands” said Katusei Manabe. Most of the members from the Prestigious Charm, Team Balguerie and Team Purple agree to the plans made by Erika. “Well, there you have it. We’re ready to step up and reach to the stars as the Keishin Academy Elementary School will continue to progress in their current development with the policies that the administration as well as to improve ourselves in the rankings for the top prestigious elementary schools in Ōta and possibly, in Tokyo.”

“We want to work together as a team and we’re ready to execute our plans together!” said Aimi Tokida.

“It’s our opportunity to empower ourselves and by the end of the school year, we’ll succeed with all accomplishments that we make” said Yoshiyuki Naomoto.

“We’ll adopt our agenda for this year’s Keishin Academy Elementary School Student Council as the ‘Prestigious Keishin Agenda 2011’, composed of all plans and platforms that we will be going to execute this year” said Asami Kondo.

“Like the other student councils in Ōta, we strive for progress and hopefully, we will be ready to create our future for us, the students, and our school, the Keishin Academy” said Manami Ōguro.

“As the sun rises in Keishin, we’re ready to be brave and be prepared as we’re together as…” said Haruka Fujimura.

Kagetsu Hakamada, Mimi Balguerie, Erika Satō, Naoki Hatano, Hanako Kotobuki, Junichi Morizawa, Fūko Shibasaki, Atsushi Aiba, Haruka Fujimura, Asami Kondo, Minae Kojima, Aimi Tokida, Yoshiyuki Naomoto, Hikari Endō, Manami Ōguro, Hikaru Higuchi, Rina Sugaya, Hirotaka Okuno, Tomoya Kawauchi, Katusei Manabe and Sachiko Sugai stand together and shout in unison. “…the Prestigious Wind Ōta!”

The members of the Prestigious Charm, Team Balguerie and Team Purple clap their hands together and the members of the Prestigious Wind Ōta are delighted to see their smiles.

“By the merger of the Prestigious Charm, Team Aurora, Peach Division of Keishin, Red-Pink Voyagers, Pink-Haired Students Club and four other groups of Keishin Academy, we’ll create the extended group that is inspired from the Pink and Plum and we’ll transform our lives to create a brighter future!” said Mimi.

The members of the Prestigious Charm, Team Balguerie and Team Purple clap their hands together once the members of the Prestigious Wind Ōta unveil the logo of the group. The logo of the Prestigious Wind Ōta is a roundel with the four magnolias with the colors of pink, celadon, violet and white, the kanji “名門風大田” in between the four magnolias in the center and the wordmark of the group around the roundel.

“This is just the beginning of our new group, who called as prestigious and ambivalent. We’re ready to create the future and all of you are ready to support our agenda to make Keishin more progressive like the other schools did!” said Kagetsu.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Prestigious Charm, Team Balguerie, Team Purple and Prestigious Wind Ōta.

“Let’s step up together to fulfill our promise together!” said Kagetsu and Mimi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Prestigious Charm, Team Balguerie, Team Purple and Prestigious Wind Ōta, who are all shouting together in unison. The reunion between Team Balguerie and Team Purple is not just only happened, but also the creation of the Prestigious Wind Ōta ushers a new era in the Keishin Academy Elementary School Student Council. Composed of brains, beauty and prestige, the Prestigious Wind Ōta hopes that they will succeed all plans on their agenda to have a brighter future for them. The Bravehearts are actively participated on the first day of the club registration week and hopefully, they will have a brighter future as well.

UP NEXT: Chapter 92: "A Basketball Trace"

With the formation of the Prestigious Wind Ōta, Kagetsu, Mimi and their friends are hopefully going to make everyone in Keishin have brighter future with their opportunities waiting for them and make Keishin more progressive just like in Shiromidai. In the next update, the Kikuchiba Academy High School Boys’ Basketball Team head coach Issei Hyodo had a lot of basketball traces that he had to work on with the basketball team during the first day of the club registration week. I will see you on December 2 (Sunday) for the next update!

TRIVIA: Where did I originate Prestigious Wind Ōta from? The Prestigious Wind Ōta has derived from the three names: Prestigious Charm (a group composed of friends of Kagetsu Hakamada), Winding Aurora (Mimi Balguerie's Complete Synchronization Skill) and Ōta (a former city becomes a special ward in Tokyo). Most of the members of the Prestigious Wind Ōta are resembled to the characters of Ongaku Shoujo. In a coincidence, Kagetsu Hakamada and Eri Kumagai are voiced by Asami Seto. The reason behind the connection between Prestigious Wind Ōta and Ongaku Shoujo is because the Prestigious Wind Ōta will be having a major role in the next volume while one of the members of Ongaku Shoujo (Kotoko Kintoki [CV: Lynn]) will be coaching an all-girls team as her team will participate at the Ōmori Invitationals.

 

[Sherwin Riga]

Tonight’s update is all about Issei Hyodo’s first day of being the manager of the Kikuchiba Academy High School Boys’ Basketball Team. He and his manager, Mr. Shirogane, are trying to recruit young players, so that they will be part of his team. Also, this chapter will witness the return of the Occult Research Club after Rias and her peerage are finally present in the human world together. As the month of December began yesterday, there are three birthday celebrants in the first two days of December, two for anime characters and one for seiyu. Yesterday, it’s the birthday of Sora Kaneshiro, whose birthday is yesterday, December 1. Sora Kaneshiro is a calm and quiet girl, a member of Lien de Famille and is voiced by Aoi Koga. Tonight, it’s the birthdays of Uori Mukae (female character from Ongaku Shoujo) and Inori Minase (seiyu), whose birthdays are on December 2.

At the Kikuchiba Academy, students are trying to join new clubs, so that they will benefit their efforts in excelling their studies. Issei was sitting in the booth of the Kikuchiba Academy High School Boys’ Basketball Team when Asia and her company tell Issei that the Occult Research Club is officially back in business. Issei was surprised to hear the good news and he was happy to see his former club back, this time in his new school. While the good news which made him overjoyed, Issei continues his happy days including his perfect score in Japanese history and his first meeting with the captain of the basketball team, Yoshiaki Tatsumi and Hiroshi Ozato. Then, at home, Issei thinks that his two best friends are going to join the Kikuchiba Academy High School Boys’ Basketball Team, despite their mischievous attempts to peek at the girls in the Kendo Club room when they were together at the Kuoh Academy. However, he says that the two should pay attention him, so that his relationship with them would increase. Then, Issei watches his two best friends Motohama and Matsuda playing with each other in the small basketball court. Once, Motohama and Matsuda are exhausted from playing, Issei shares his first day as the manager of the Kikuchiba Academy High School Boys’ Basketball Team to his two best friends Motohama and Matsuda. Then, as the members of the Burnt Leaf ate their dinner, Asia warns Issei that the latter should keep an eye on Motohama, so that there will be no chaos between the two boys and Matsuda Murayama and Katase, just like what happened when they were together at the Kuoh Academy. After a couple of arguments, Motohama and Matsuda say to Murayama and Katase that the two perverts won’t do crazy things to Murayama and Katase again, much to the relief of their friend Issei. At the end of the day, Issei and his company are hopefully going to revolve things around the Kikuchiba Academy as the Occult Research Club will be ready to do their unfinished business that left off in Kuoh.

VOLUME 6: “PRESTIGIOUS AND DETERMINATION”
CHAPTER 92: “A BASKETBALL TRACE”​

Usually, high schools in Tokyo offered students to join the regular and extracurricular clubs, so that the students will gain their interests in improving their hobbies and skills, especially to excel their field. At the Kikuchiba Academy, most of the clubs are persuading the students to join, in order to benefit their efforts in excelling their studies.

At the booth of the Kikuchiba Academy High School Boys’ Basketball Team, Issei Hyodo and head coach Akihiro Shirogane are sitting together in their chairs. Issei looks at the application forms of different applicants while Akihiro talks to a student.

“I’m glad that those students are gonna be ready for the tryout next week. It feels like we’re getting some potential players if they excel in different categories: offense, defense, athleticism, stamina, mental strength, technique and special ability” said Issei.

“That’s true, Issei. We have eight players returning to the team for this year. Four players came from the third year and the other four players came from the second year. I hope that we’re going to acquire some first year students in order to complete our team’s roster for this season” said Akihiro Shirogane.

“Yep. Look at the names in the application forms. Reiji Matsumoto, Shōji Nagai, Seiichi Matsuda, Eiji Motohama, Naomasa Kibayashi, Norio Oguma, Mototsugu Abe, Takeshi Miura, Kihei Nakamura, Akihito Segawa, Mitsunari Itō and Ryuji Sugimura” said Issei.

“So, you even add two of your friends to take part of the tryout?” asked Akihiro.

“Yeah, I want to let the two know about basketball and l believe that they should be more patient if they will be joining the team” said Issei.

“Ah, I understand about that, Issei. So, when are you going back to class? I expect that it’s almost the end of lunch hour” said Akihiro.

“Oh, my friends will be coming here soon” said Issei.

“Hmm, okay” said Akihiro.

“I’m sure that we’re ready to go back to the building for class and then, when the classes are over, we’ll go back to work” said Issei.

“Okay!” said Akihiro.

Later, the members of the Burnt Leaf arrive at the booth to meet Issei. Issei looks at his friends and smiles to them. “Oh, hi!”

“Hi, Issei!” said Asia.

“Why are you here?” asked Issei.

“I have some good news for you” said Asia.

“What is it?” asked Issei.

“We formally created a new club here in Kikuchiba!” said Asia.

Issei is surprised, speculating that the Occult Research Club is going to be founded in Kikuchiba, but he changes his mind. “Oh, yeah! I can’t believe that you did it!”

“Yeah! We decided to establish a new chapter of the Occult Research Club in Kikuchiba. That’s why you won’t be surprised with Asia’s announcement!” said Irina.

“It’s an honor that the Occult Research Club is finally back in business!” said Yuto.

“Are you happy with the announcement, Issei-kun?” asked Xenovia.

“Uh, yeah, Xenovia. I think we’re ready to bring the devil powers in Kikuchiba. Of course, Kikuchiba is a sister school of Kuoh Academy” said Issei.

“Yep. With the Occult Research Club back in business, we’re going to allow any race to join the club and let’s make an endless enjoyment with us working together. We’re going to start over again from the scratch and hopefully, we’ll be able to bring back our past when Rias and Akeno are in the club” said Xenovia.

“Ah, okay! I see the fact that we’re ready to regroup again, but this is going to be different from last year” said Issei.

“That’s right, Issei. I hope that we will be able to work together in finding new research of different races either in Earth or our planet Kurenai. Right, everyone?” said Asia.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Burnt Leaf.

“So, Issei, would you want to come with us? You promised us that you don’t want to be late on the next class!” said Elmenhilde.

“Okay!” said Issei. Issei leaves the booth and bid farewell to Akihiro Shirogane. “I’ll see you later, Coach!”

“Okay, Issei! Come back here later after your class is over!” said Akihiro.

“Okay! No doubt about it!” said Issei.

Once Issei joins with the members of the Burnt Leaf, Asia happily says, “Let’s go, everyone!”

“Okay!” said Issei and the members of the Burnt Leaf. Issei and the members of the Burnt Leaf walk together to go back to the high school building as they will prepare for the next class.

At the classroom of the section 3-A, Issei, Asia, Irina, Elmenhilde and the students of section 3-A are getting their papers during the Japanese History class.

“Woohoo! I’m getting a perfect score!” said Issei.

“Ah, good for you! I’m glad that you get a perfect score in a seatwork in the Japanese History subject. Of course, I only got a few mistakes in my seatwork” said Elmenhilde.

“I’m sure that you’ll keep up the good work, Issei! You’ll earn a reward later tonight, but don’t tell anyone. It’s a secret” said Asia.

“Ah, okay, Asia” said Issei.

“This Japanese History class is getting me interested in finding evidences about the mixed race between Kurenese and humans known as the Terran Kurenese” said Irina.

“Terran Kurenese? What does that mean, Irina?” asked Issei.

“That race is a mixed race between the Kurenese people and the humans in the planet Earth. Once Kurenai was terraformed and being inhabited by colonizers, they are known as pioneers of the Kurenese people. However, as many years go by, some humans have married a Kurenese through arranged marriage and as a result, this gives the birth of the Terran Kurenese people. Those people are born in Kurenai of Terran descent” said Irina.

“Oh, I get it. So, that’s why you’re tracking on finding some evidence for your internship project” said Issei.

“Yep. I think you should contribute your ideas to know more about the Terran Kurenese people” said Irina.

“Ah, sure, I can, Irina!” said Issei.

“Okay! I can’t wait to start our new project that we’re going to do very soon” said Irina.

“Yeah!” said Issei. Asia and Elmenhilde happily smile to Issei and Irina.

When the classes are over, the members of the Burnt Leaf are leaving the high school building to go back on finding new members of the Occult Research Club and the Kikuchiba Academy High School boys’ basketball team. Issei goes back to the booth of the Kikuchiba Academy High School boys’ basketball team while Asia and the members of the Burnt Leaf would go back to the booth of the Occult Research Club.

At the booth of the Kikuchiba Academy High School boys’ basketball team, Issei and Akihiro are busy reading the application forms when the team captain of the Kikuchiba Academy High School boys’ basketball team Yoshiaki Tatsumi appears to meet both Issei and Akihiro.

“Coach. Issei. I’m back” said Yoshiaki Tatsumi.

“Oh, there you are, Yoshiaki-senpai. How are you today?” said Akihiro.

“I’m fine right now, Coach” said Yoshiaki.

While Akihiro and Yoshiaki talk each other, Issei looks at Yoshiaki, a black-haired shooting guard from the third year class. He came from section 3-B. “So, that’s the captain of the team? Ah, what a man he had arrive.”

After Akihiro and Yoshiaki finish talking each other, Akihiro introduces Issei to Yoshiaki. “Issei Hyodo, this is Yoshiaki Tatsumi, a third year student and the captain of our basketball team. Yoshiaki, this is Issei, the manager.”

Yoshiaki and Issei greet each other by saying hello.

“Hi, Issei-sama” said Yoshiaki.

“Hi!” said Issei.

“So, you’re the Oppai Dragon from that television show! I know that you’re leading the cast for that show” said Yoshiaki.

“That’s right, Captain. I am the star of my own show. I formerly studied at Kuoh Academy and right now, I’m currently doing my internship in order to finish my high school years and to graduate with flying colors” said Issei.

“Uh, that looks good. You’re also wearing the pin of the Kikuchiba Academy High School boys’ basketball team” said Yoshiaki.

“That’s right, Yoshiaki. This pin is officially used by members of our basketball team. Hey, did you have a pin in your uniform?” said Akihiro.

“Uh, yeah, Coach” said Yoshiaki. Yoshiaki shows the pin on the left side of his school uniform. “It’s right here!”

“Ah, that’s beautiful!” said Issei.

“Told ya that I have those in my uniform. I’m a certified top student with high grades in five different subjects and also, being ranked as ‘A’ student” said Yoshiaki.

“Are you compared to Kozue Murayama?” asked Issei.

“Oh, that sweet megane Kozue, well, she’s very nice to anyone, but I can’t wait to defeat her once I’ll take my guts to be the highest scorer in all exams” said Yoshiaki.

“So, you must be competing against her, Captain. Now, you’re already catching up with the other top students in Kikuchiba. I hope that you will be able to get highest scores in all subjects in the exam” said Akihiro.

“Yep! I hope that it will benefit my hopes in going to a large university in Tokyo! I’ll be the first one to make it over Kozue!” said Yoshiaki.


“Of course not, Captain! Sounds like you are more pared to go college, but it’s time for you to compete to become the top student in the entire batch!” said Issei.

“Yeah!” said Yoshiaki.

“Yoshiaki, we already know about the basketball activities this season and we have to unveil it to the members of the team” said Akihiro.

“Ah, we already have the scheduled activities that will happen in a few days right after the club registration week” said Yoshiaki.

“So, what are you planning for this year?” asked Issei.

“Well, Issei, you should remember the dates, so that you will be able to participate on those activities” said Akihiro. Then, Akihiro begins to explain about the plans for the boys’ basketball team.

The first term shows the pictures of the last year’s events featuring the members of the Kikuchiba Academy High School boys’ basketball team.

“During the vacation break, from March 22 to 31, we decided to plan some activities in order to prepare for this school year. In the first term, we have the club registration week to be held this week. Next week, on April 30, it’s going to be the first training for us, but before that, on April 27, the tryouts for the new members will take place right after the class. After the month of April, we will have trainings to be held in the entire month of May before the Interhigh preliminaries to be held in mid-June. This year, there will be two Interhigh tournaments this year. That is, in order to separate the clash between high-profile schools and the other schools who were either labelled as averaged-profile or low-profile.”

The second term shows the pictures of the last year’s events featuring the members of the Kikuchiba Academy High School boys’ basketball team.

“Once the first term ends, on July 21 to August 31, the summer break commences and the Interhigh preliminaries final league will take place a week after the first day of the summer break. During the second term, only the best prefectural teams will compete in the Nationals this September. Tokyo will represent three spots, thanks to the large population. After the Nationals, it will be a month-long break for all high school teams and they’re allowed to participate at the local leagues before the Winter Cup. The Winter Cup prefectural qualifiers will begin by November 7 to December 20. Then, the main proper of the Winter Cup will be held on the day after the winter solstice, usually that is held either on December 22 or 23.”

The third and final term shows the pictures of the last year’s events featuring the members of the Kikuchiba Academy High School boys’ basketball team.

“And finally, the third term starts on January 10 where the school’s intramurals will be held this month. Then, the Ōta League Cup will be held in February to determine the best local basketball team in all Ōta. After which, the graduation ceremony will be held on March 14. For some members who aren’t graduates next year, they will be participating in final exams before the spring break that will start on March 22 and end on April 1.”

When he finished explaining the details of the calendar of activities of the Kikuchiba Academy High School boys’ basketball team, Akihiro explains the summary of the calendar of activities. “We will be ready to start our own season and hopefully, we will win the Interhigh tournament and the Winter Cup. It’s going to be our year since we will invent new trends for every one of us.”

“Well, I believe that we’re going to prepare ourselves in participating at the Interhigh preliminaries and hopefully, we’ll make sure that we’re going to win many games to capture the Interhigh crown and the Winter Cup trophy” said Yoshiaki.

“Yeah! We’re going to start all over again to add some new members into the team and then, we’ll start the training!” said Issei.

“Yeah!” said Yoshiaki and Akihiro.

A lavender-haired male student appears to meet Issei, Coach Akihiro and Yoshiaki.

“Is this the basketball team?” asked the lavender-haired boy.

“Yes, sir. We’re currently looking forward for new members in our team” said Issei.

“New members in our team? Oh, I will join that team!” said the lavender-haired boy.

“So, if you want to join the Kikuchiba Academy High School boys’ basketball team, please sign up in the application form” said Akihiro while Issei gives the application form to the lavender-haired boy.

The lavender-haired boy fills the application form before giving it to Akihiro.

Akihiro reads the name of the lavender-haired boy. “You must be Hiroshi Ozato. You’re a first year high school student. It’s nice that you fill up the application form. Welcome to the team!”

Akihiro shakes hands with Hiroshi Ozato while the latter staying, “Thanks, Coach! Wow! I can’t believe that my dreams will come true if I will be able to show my skills in the court. Someday, I want to become a starter just like my former teammates did!”

“Well, if that’s your dream, then why you will come to the tryout next week on April 27. We’ll be watching you to see how your talent you have” said Issei.

“Okay!” said Hiroshi.

“Uh, Hiroshi, since you’re the thirteenth applicant, you’ll be lucky to join if you have a charm on your neck” said Yoshiaki.

“Uh, well, sure, I have been thinking of this because it seems that this is my opportunity to join the basketball team. I have been waiting for this since I started playing basketball when I was 10” said Hiroshi.

“Well, we’ll be in touch if you’re ready to participate at the tryout next week” said Akihiro.

“Okay!” said Hiroshi. Hiroshi leaves the booth to say goodbye to Akihiro, Issei and Yoshiaki. “I’ll see you next week!”

“Okay!” said Akihiro, Issei and Yoshiaki.

“Well, that was a big success, Coach and Captain! We’re reaching thirteen students who are aiming to join the basketball team!” said Issei.

“Yep, it’s good for us to find some good players with good talents in different categories” said Akihiro.

“I’m sure that we’re going to be lucky for us if we’re possibly going to defeat some large high schools during the Interhigh preliminary event” said Yoshiaki.

“On the bright side, we’ll make sure that our players will be able to increase their credits to different attributes if they are good enough to play hard” said Akihiro.

“Once we’re reaching the month of June, this will be our chance to get the momentum out from being in the first round” said Issei.

“Yeah!” said Akihiro and Yoshiaki.

“Uh, Issei, I believe that your coaching skills are not known yet after you have been hired by our director Seiya Sanada. Coach said that you have greater abilities through your Sacred Gear. I wonder what you will emulate in basketball” said Yoshiaki.

“Well, based on what Ddraig said, my Sacred Gear allows us to use speed and stamina and also, pressure can be applied to defined shooters and gives them their relentless finish” said Issei.

“So, what are you planning in making your own playbook for our Coach?” asked Yoshiaki.

“Uh… I don’t know what my playbook will be but…” said Issei.

“Since you’re the manager, I think you have to give your idea to make a good strategy that I will use in facing against stronger teams in Tokyo” said Akihiro.

“As far as I have to make a research, I would be glad if I can observe your players in the roster first” said Issei.

“Well, you better get yourself a deal, Issei. How about this? Why our team will be invited to visit your home and show us your style of play?” said Yoshiaki.

“Right on, Captain!” said Issei.

“Good. Then, I will be joining with you two because I can observe anyone to find out what the strengths and the weaknesses are. I’m sure that you will show us your strategy” said Akihiro.

“Okay, Coach! I get it!” said Issei.

“That’s great, Issei! We’ll make sure that Kikuchiba will shock the world to win the national championship if we’re going to make it to the final!” said Yoshiaki.

“Yeah!” said Issei and Akihiro.

Part 2 will be on the next post.
