Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts - The Sagu Aoyama Universe Crossover Series

Hi, everyone!:) I just came off busy most of the morning because I was able to get vaccinated for COVID-19, which means that I’ll be able to survive against that virus for sure.;) It was so great that I was able to stay healthy ever since I have mostly stayed at my home starting from last year when the first ECQ had been implemented. Now, I’m feeling good that I might have a chance to go out again if I want to, but I might gonna save it for the future because it would be awesome if I can go out and communicate with anyone as soon as possible. However, I’ll wait until the COVID-19 pandemic is over by probably next year. So, let’s keep fighting against COVID-19 by following the safety guidelines on how to stay safe from that virus, so that you’re all good to be safe!;) Also, one other thing that I’m so happy aside from being vaccinated is that my favorite team, the Atlanta Hawks, have won Game 4 against the Milwaukee Bucks to tie the series at 2 by blowing them out by 22. It was so great that they have dominated the entire game, especially to Lou Williams, Cam Reddish, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Clint Capela (made the Kobe Bryant shot, but left the game with a broken nose), who have performed impressively to rally the Hawks to a victory without Trae Young, who was out with the left ankle sprain that he suffered from Game 3.:) However, during the game, Giannis Antetokounmpo had been injured when he was collided with Clint Capela, who successfully made the lob from Lou Williams, before hurting his left knee.:( He was a beast in the paint to make monster dunks, but now, he’s feeling pain after injuring his knee. As a result, he will be expected to be out for the remainder of the series just like Trae did prior to the game. Hopefully, he will have a speedy recovery on his left knee. So, get well soon, Giannis!:( Now that the series had been tied at 2, this series will be very crucial for both teams as now that Trae and Giannis have both injured, the tables have been turned as they will still be fighting for the ticket to the 2021 NBA Finals and I hope that the Hawks will try their best to win two more games, so that they will make it to 2021 NBA Finals for sure!;) Don’t give up, Hawks! Just believe and keep fighting!:) By the way, for those who haven't read the last update, which was the first appearance of Ichika Kuwahara, Manaka Sawamoto (the cousin of Sana Kushibiki of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka) and their friends, I recommend reading it before or after reading today's update, so that you should be more confident to see what happened to that update. Hopefully, you'll be able catch up with the recent updates of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts because we're now reaching the midway point of the Red Section Series. So, keep updating with the new updates of this series, so that you won't miss out those for sure!;) With that said, I’m going to post a new update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts that this one will be very important because you’re gonna witness the five leading girls of the braveheart groups of Fukuoka. Hopefully, you’re all thrilled with this because you’re gonna explore their secrets on how they have met with each other as well as how they have gotten together when they will bless and inspire their hometown. But before you’re going to read that, it’s time to go to the birthday corner and other important matter before we’ll get into today’s update, so, here we go!:)

Yesterday (June 29) were the birthdays of Karin Asaka of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and Momo Minamoto from RELEASE THE SPYCE. Karin is a third year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School where she had joined the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and formed a sub-group known as DiverDiva with Ai Miyashita (CV: Natsumi Murakami). Karin had been aiming to be a model and her personality is to be passionate and mature, which she was able to have confidence with her body. She is in charge in coordinating clothes and sometimes helping other members to design costumes. In the anime, she is a close friend of Emma Verde (CV: Maria Sashide) as they have helped together alongside the other members to revive their school idol club. Karin had initially been interested in school idols, but didn’t join the school idol club until in the fifth episode when she was invited by Emma, who inspired her by performing her song, “La Bella Patria”, so that Karin will join the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. In the ninth episode, she represented her school idol club in Diver Fes, an annual music festival held in Diver City in Odaiba, as she performs her song “VIVID WORLD”. On the other hand, Momo is a cute and intelligent girl who had been working for Tsukikage to protect her hometown, Sorasaki, from enemies like Moryo. She is also the main protagonist of RELEASE THE SPYCE. Karin is voiced by Miyu Kubota, who’s also a member of i☆Ris, while Momo is voiced by Yukari Anzai. And tomorrow (July 1) will be the birthday of Maho Misawa from Ro-Kyu-Bu! Maho is an energetic and joyful girl as she was very enthusiastic with excitement coming out for her and her friends from the Keishin Academy Elementary School girls' basketball team. She and Saki Nagatsuka (CV. Yōko Hikasa) were close friends since they were little because they were always getting along most of the time, especially when they were in school. Maho is voiced by Yuka Iguchi, whose birthday will be ten days away from now. Yuka's birthday is on July 11. Belated happy birthday, Karin and Momo, and advanced happy birthday, Maho!:) And before you’ll read this update, this one will be dedicated to Yuka Amemiya, Naomi Payton and Hiyori Nitta. Yuka’s birthday is today (June 30) while both Naomi and Hiyori will celebrate their birthdays tomorrow (July 1). These three voice actresses were very young as they have been voicing different characters. Born in Osaka, Yuka is the voice actress of Angelica (representing Sadistic Candy) and Angers (representing Ray) from Lapis Re:Lights and Sheria Nigem from The Misfit of Demon King Academy. Coming out from Saitama, Naomi is a member of Liella!, a school idol group from Love Live! Superstar!!, which will release their anime adaption this coming July, as she is the voice actress of Sumire Heanna, a first year high school student from the Yuigaoka Girls’ High School. And last but not the least, hailing from Tokyo, Hiyori is the voice actress of Ino Sakura (representing Fruit Tart) from Dropout Idol Fruit Tart, Izumi Asagi from Pastel Memories, Mai Sadohara from Märchen Mädchen and Sue from Val × Love. I hope that those three will continue making progress of their voice careers and as for Naomi, she’s ready to make Liella! rising up as she alongside Sayuri Date (seiyu of Kanon Shibuya), Liyuu (seiyu of Keke Tang), Nako Misaki (seiyu of Chisato Arashi) and Nagisa Aoyama (seiyu of Ren Hazuki) will shine together in their first anime appearance this year!;) Happy birthday, Yuka, Naomi and Hiyori!:) Now, it’s time to cap off the month of June by continuing the Passioned Relatives at the Fuchsia and Celadon Week with a brand new update as you’ll witness Tomoka meeting with the five leading girls of the braveheart groups of Fukuoka where this is their time to get with each other. Get ready because you’re going to witness this before your eyes as I’ll explain this right now!:)

In Red Section-Chapter 50, the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka have met each other at the living room in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel where they are going to organize a banquet to celebrate their friendship between the two. Of course, this banquet will be very fantastic to see as this is the big part where they will get along with each other for the rest of the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week at the hall. And so, to cap off the month of June, I’ll be posting another update that you never seen this before as Tomoka will be meeting with the five leading girls of the braveheart groups of Fukuoka, better known as the Five Young Queens of Fukuoka. In case you didn’t know on what’s going on with it, this is going to be the sequel to the first part of Chapter 161 where Tomoka had met Keiko Kakuma (Higashi) at the balcony in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel. Because the second part of it is where they have clashed with each other, I decided that this update will actually be the follow-up of what happened on the rest of the night of the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. I know that this one was not included in the second part, but I want to have that being a special one because this is the part when Tomoka had been surprised to see the other leading girls of the braveheart groups of Fukuoka as they were Yuno Furukawa (Sawara), Satomi Akimoto (Hakata), Sumiko Miyasaka (Nishi) and Maiko Takayama (Minami). You’re going to witness their encounter that you haven’t seen before and hopefully, you’re going to explore their secrets, so that Tomoka will know about their special kind of friendship. So, if you’re ready with this, then you’re in luck because here comes the 52nd side chapter of the Red Section Series with the title, “Entering the Five Beautiful and Cute Girls of Fukuoka”! Enjoy reading the 52nd side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 52: “ENTERING THE FIVE BEAUTIFUL AND CUTE GIRLS OF FUKUOKA

Date: May 7, 2010 (Friday)

This side chapter is focused on the five leading girls of the braveheart groups of Fukuoka as they are getting along with Tomoka at the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel. This takes place right after the general assembly of the Homewrecking Dragons had been concluded.

At the balcony of the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel, Tomoka, Kōme and Keiko are looking at the stars in the night sky that shines bright with the moon.

“What a nice view to see, Tomoka-san! I would love to see those stars shining bright like it’s our time to gleam out!” said Keiko.

“Yeah! My friends and I have used to do that at some time when we don’t have time to do for the rest of the night. Sometimes, we did that when we’re going outside at night. It makes me so delighted that the stars are here to make them bright as they can be” said Tomoka.

“You got it! It was so nice that I want to look at them when it’s nighttime because I used to do that when I’m no longer busy with my schoolwork, which means that I can do whatever I want” said Keiko.

“Well, does your friends like to see the stars in the night sky?” asked Kōme.

“Why, yes, they do. My friends have also looked at the view in their homes, but I also invited them to look at them when we’re staying together in my home. They feel proud of what they have saw because they want to shine like I am” said Keiko.

“Ah, that’s great! I’m feeling proud of them, Keiko! I believe that you and your friends have been shining your way that because not only you’re the first batch of students that formed a braveheart group, but also you have some pride to show up to make sure that you’ll be blessed and inspired” said Kōme.

“Yeah, it’s true that we’re the first to form a braveheart group before the other guys from different wards of my hometown would do the same thing” said Keiko.

“Wait a minute, Keiko-san. Did you say that there are more braveheart groups in your hometown?” queried Tomoka.

“Yes, Tomoka-san, there are four more braveheart groups that have been existed in my hometown. They were the Bravehearts of Hakata, the Bravehearts of Sawara, the Bravehearts of Nishi Fukuoka and the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka. Those groups have been created through the ideas being made by my close friend Kazuhiro” said Keiko.

“Ah, I see! I’m feeling expected that there are more bravehearts in your hometown, Keiko-san! I thought that you’re the only group that have been existed at that time” said Tomoka.

“And from my observation, Fukuoka had a lot of wards, which only two have been omitted: Chuo and Jonan” said Kōme.

“That’s right, girls! There are five braveheart groups based in Fukuoka, which they’re all created in the same year when Kazuhiro and his team have won the Middle School National Basketball Championship. It was the first for a braveheart group to be existed because they have shown their pride and willpower to make sure that they’ll bless the community together. However, Higashi was the actual birthplace of the first braveheart group, which means that my group holds the name ‘Bravehearts of Fukuoka’ because Kazuhiro named it to represent his own friends of bravehearts” said Keiko.

“Okay, I see what’s going on right now. I thought that there’s one braveheart group in Fukuoka, but now I realize that there are more than one” said Kōme.

“It looks like there are many bravehearts being present in your hometown, Keiko-san! I was surprised about the fact that Kazuhiro had credited for this one” said Tomoka.

“Yeah, that’s true, Tomoka-san. As a result, the five groups have been running in Fukuoka starting the events after the Nationals until its present day. You’ll expect a lot of surprises out there since you guys have invited everyone into the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Keiko.

“Of course, we invited the guests to celebrate a new era!” said Tomoka.

“We want to make the community to shine for a better future!” said Kōme.

“Well, I’m sure that you’re going to keep this up until tomorrow night where the closing of the festival will be taking place outside” said Keiko.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Tomoka and Kōme.

Suddenly, Mihoshi calls Tomoka, Kōme and Keiko as she opens the door of Room #12 to tell her. “There’s someone calling for you!”

“Who are those?” asked Tomoka.

“Well, they’re from Fukuoka and they were four of them” said Mihoshi.

“Hey, I think that it’s the other leading girls of the braveheart groups in my hometown” said Keiko.

“You got it right!” said Mihoshi.

“We’ll be going downstairs right now” said Tomoka.

“Okay!” said Mihoshi before leaving the room.

Tomoka would speak Keiko a question. “Are those girls being friends of yours?”

Keiko had smile on her face before speaking to Tomoka. “Yes, they were, Tomoka-san. While Kazuhiro, Takanori, Masanori, Akihisa and Tōru were known as the Royal Flush of Fukuoka, me and my fellow friends from different braveheart groups of Fukuoka have our own group to represent known as the Five Young Queens of Fukuoka.”

“What a nice and beautiful name, Keiko-san! I didn’t know that you and your friends have been getting along with each other!” said Tomoka.

“I would believe that they’re showing their pride and willpower to make sure that they’re going to bless the community just like Tomoka did!” said Kōme.

“You’re exactly right, girls! Now, shall we go down to meet my friends?” said Keiko.

“Okay!” said Tomoka and Kōme as they alongside Keiko have left the Room #12 to go downstairs to the ground floor where Keiko will introduce Tomoka and Keiko to her friends from her hometown.

When the three have reached the living room, Tomoka and Kōme were surprised that the four girls have been sitting in the coach while Keiko smiles to the four girls because they have known with each other.

“Oh, my goodness! They’re all here!” said Kōme.

“There are four of them!” said Tomoka.

“Guess that you’re right about the fact that they’re all here, girls You’ll be thrilled to meet them!” said Keiko.

“Yeah!” said Tomoka and Kōme.

Keiko would “Tomoka-san and Kōme-san, I want you to meet my friends from different braveheart groups of Fukuoka, which I call them the leading girls. They were Yuno Furukawa (Sawara), Satomi Akimoto (Hakata), Sumiko Miyasaka (Nishi) and Maiko Takayama (Minami).”

Tomoka and Kōme would greet the four girls by waving their hands to say ‘hi’ to them. “Hi!”

“Hi!” said Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“These four girls are known being the leading girls of the braveheart groups of Fukuoka just like I am. We have used to meet with each other a few times, especially when an upcoming prefectural tournament comes out” said Keiko.

“That’s right, Keiko-san! Every time when there’s a competition coming to our prefecture, we used to meet with each other for a beautiful encounter” said Yuno Furukawa, the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Sawara.

“Sometimes, we did that before…” said Satomi Akimoto, a first year middle school student from the Aohoshi Gakuen Middle School and the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Hakata.

“…and after the match is over” said Sumiko Miyasaka, a first year middle school student from the Fukushige Sanban Middle School and the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Nishi Fukuoka, composed of the wards of Nishi and Jōnan.

“That’s why the five of us have been special with each other because not only we’re close to our dear braveheart leaders, but we’re very determined to show our pride and willpower for our community to grow their blessings” said Maiko Takayama, a first year middle school student from the Tōka Seigyo Middle School and the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka, composed of the wards of Chuō and Minami.

“Well, I’m being grateful that you have made your community going for blessings to shine. It’s so nice that you have done anything to make sure that the community will be blooming for sure” said Tomoka.

“Yes, we are!” said Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“I believe that you have some good blessings to cherish your friends in your community and I think that you have shown some pride and willpower to make sure that they’ll be comfortable to have their blessings that they need” said Kōme.

“You’re right, girl! The five of us have used to represent our own personality, which Keiko represents compassion, mine represents humility, Satomi represents adaptability, Sumiko represents prosperity and Maiko represents benevolence” said Yuno.

“We were so determined that we want to show our representation to do our best in making our community going to shine” said Satomi.

“And since we’re all coming from Fukuoka, we have our own ways to show some courage for our community to step up because they want to make themselves motivate for them to move forward” said Sumiko.

“Which means that the more we encourage them to step up…” said Maiko.

“…the better that the community will be able to make their dreams come true” said Keiko.

“Ah, that’s very nice!” said Tomoka.

“I like that!” said Kōme.

“I’m really proud of your guys because you have been able to encourage them to motivate by doing great things to get it done” said Tomoka.

“I say that it’s very fantastic that the community had done something big to bless themselves” said Kōme.

“Of course, we are! That’s why we became the first members to show our pride and willpower to represent ourselves as bravehearts, so that we’ll be able to do our best in making the community shine for a brighter future” said Keiko.

“You’ll be motivated to make us blessed and inspired because we’re here to encourage you to step up and shine!” said Satomi.

“Yeah, we will!” said Tomoka and Kōme.

Yuno would speak to Tomoka by asking her a question. “So, by the way, what’s your name?”

Tomoka would say her name and her position. “My name is Tomoka Minato, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School. I’m the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Ōta, led by Subaru Hasegawa.”

“Hey, we recognized Subaru, Tomoka-san!” said Yuno.

“Oh, wow! I was surprised about that, Yuno-san! How did you know?” said Tomoka.

“Well, one time when Subaru was on the locker room of Kazuhiro’s team, in preparing for the quarterfinal match against Shizuno Middle School, we met them” said Yuno.

“He had a strong expression of being the leader because he had done a lot of things in his basketball career” said Satomi.

“Too bad that his team wasn’t able to make it to the Nationals after losing to his rival’s team in the final of the prefectural tournament” said Sumiko.

“Yeah, I had seen his smile whenever he was talking to his friends and he was able to encourage me to step up like he used to” said Tomoka.

“Of course, he was a good athlete, to be honest. However, he wasn’t given up because he still had his pride to represent” said Maiko.

“Yeah, I agree!” said Tomoka.

“So, how’s your braveheart group now, Tomoka-san? Did you done something blissful and inspirable?” asked Yuno.

“Yeah! My friends and I have done a lot of blissful and inspirable things to make our community being full of blessings” said Tomoka.

“And of course, we also organized the Fuchsia and Celadon Week as we’re celebrating a new era known as the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon!” said Kōme.

“We want to expect new things to make sure that we’re ready to create a brighter future for us. That’s why we’re feeling proud of what everyone in Ōta did by having fun with each other and share their moments to remember everything” said Tomoka.

“Ah, that’s very nice, Tomoka-san! I like what you did for your community!” said Yuno.

“Yeah! I’m getting goosebumps that you have found something expectable!” said Satomi.

“It seems that you’re looking confident about the community watching for you” said Sumiko.

“As well as everyone is ready to inspire you with your beautiful ways that made them feel motivated for their future” said Maiko.

“I’m sure that you’ll be able to keep up because you’ll be more like Subaru for sure” said Keiko.

“Of course, I will, girls! I won’t let my braveheart group down! Right?” said Tomoka.

“Yeah!” said Keiko, Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“By the way, Keiko, where are your fellow friends from the Bravehearts of Fukuoka?” asked Kōme.

“Well, they’re with Tomoka’s friends to hang out with each other. After Masako, Natsuko, Junko and Kazuhiro went with Subaru, Aoi and Kazunari, my friends have their time to be with their counterparts” said Keiko.

“Which is like a two-group braveheart connection, Kōme-san. The two of us were here and now, it becomes more” said Tomoka.

“Ah, okay! I feel happy that both Bravehearts of Ōta and Bravehearts of Fukuoka have been developing its friendship since last week. I hope that things will go blooming once they’ll be ready to work together very soon” said Kōme.

“Yeah, we will!” said Tomoka and Keiko.

Tomoka would speak to the leading girls of the braveheart groups of Fukuoka. “Anyway, girls, why are you here?”

“As you can see, we want to have time to get along with Keiko-san because she’s our friend” said Yuno.

“Yeah, we used to get along with each other when five braveheart groups meet with each other in an occasional activity” said Satomi.

“That’s why we finally get our chance to meet her because we finally have time to enjoy the night with her” said Sumiko.

“Ah, I see! Well, I’m with her earlier because we watched the night sky at the balcony” said Tomoka.

“Yeah! It was so beautiful to see the stars bright!” said Keiko.

“Like you guys did when you’re using your auras to make your moves!” said Kōme.

“Ah, yes! The viewing of the moon. We did that a few times” said Maiko.

“Yeah, that moon had been shining all the way to make us feel proud that w’ere bravehearts. Right, girls?” said Yuno.

“Yeah!” said Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“It seems that we’re all shining stars that we want to create our future and it’s very important that we have to use our pride and willpower to make sure that we’re going to dazzle together to bless the community. Isn’t that right, Tomoka-san?” said Keiko.

“Yes, of course, Keiko-san! I’m sure that we’re all bravehearts because we have our own ways to shine and it would be better that we can show our blessings to everyone, so that everyone will be ready to motivate themselves” said Tomoka.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Keiko, Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“So, girls, are you planning to stay for the final day of the festival?” asked Kōme.

“Of course, we are! The quarterfinals of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup will take place at the outdoor basketball courts before the semifinals and finals will take place at the Recreational Center” said Yuno.

“Yeah, only Kazuhiro’s team, the Blue Verdant Fukuoka, and Masanori’s team, the Green Leaf Rustlers, have advanced to the quarterfinals’ said Satomi.

“The rest were out of the tournament as they lose in close games” said Sumiko.

“So far, all games tonight had been ended with at least 15 points or less, which means that the Ōta Blue Wind Cup will be very interesting to see how they’ll prepare themselves for the upcoming Interhigh qualifiers” said Maiko.

“Which will take place by next month” said Keiko.

“Well, next month is going to be a big challenge for everyone including some great prospects out there. I’m sure that things will be getting interesting to see what’s going to happen for tomorrow” said Tomoka.

“Yeah!” said Keiko, Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“Oh, speaking of which, girls, Tomoka and I are going to square off against each other tomorrow morning!” said Keiko.

“Yeah! Keiko had challenged me to a match because she wants to test against me to see who’s better between the two of us!” said Tomoka.

“Ah, that sounds like an interesting match to me!” said Yuno.

“Yeah, Yuno-san. Those two are considered potential to become superstars one day” said Satomi.

“It seems that you two have been close with each other and I hope that one of you will be the best” said Sumiko.

“It’s going to be great to put your gears up for a match to see who the best between the two of you” said Maiko.

“Yep!” said Tomoka and Keiko.

“We have known with each other since last week and it seems that our friendship had been developed” said Keiko.

“Yeah! Not only for that, we were also able to show our pride and willpower to everyone, so that they want to witness us as bravehearts!” said Tomoka.

“That’s very nice for both of you, girls! We want to see that match!” said Yuno.

“Yeah! I’m really hyped to see both of you preparing for a match against each other in the court!” said Satomi.

“Me too! I can’t wait to see your moves out there!” said Sumiko.

“That will make so thrilled to see those!” said Maiko.

“Well then, you’re all invited to come to our match tomorrow, girls!” said Keiko.

“Alright!” said Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“Wow! I can’t believe that your friends are really interested to see the two of you facing off tomorrow! Oh, I would be so thrilled to see that!” said Kōme.

“You’re seemed to be confident about this, Kōme-san! Keiko and I have been showing our beautiful ways to shine for everyone and now, we’re ready to face against each other to see which of us is worthy to prove” said Tomoka.

“Ever since our first encounter, things are getting better between the two of us because we want to make friendship going brighter like Kazuhiro and Subaru did. I bet that you’re ready to see us shine, don’t you?” said Keiko.

“Yeah, of course! I would love to see the two of you facing off in the court! I’m sure that you two are going to do your best tomorrow!” said Kōme.

“Yes, we sure will!” said Tomoka and Keiko while nodding their heads to agree with Kōme.

“Oh, that reminds me, I have to take a picture of all of us were here!” said Keiko.

“Good idea, Keiko-san!” said Tomoka while nodding her face to agree with Keiko’s idea. “Kōme-san, if you don’t mind, will you take a picture of us?”

“Oh, sure, I would be glad to, Tomoka!” said Kōme.

“Here’s my phone, Kōme-san” said Keiko as she gives her phone to Kōme with the camera app being opened.

“Then, what should I do?” asked Kōme.

“Just click the camera button to make a picture of us” said Keiko.

“Oh, okay! I would love to do that!” said Kōme.

“Great!” said Keiko before she and Tomoka would join with Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko in the sofa to do their pose. “Are you all set?”

“Yep! I’m ready!” said Kōme before looking at Keiko’s phone to take a picture of the six girls. Kōme asks the girls to make a smile on the phone, so that she’ll take a picture of them. “Smile, girls!” Tomoka and Keiko smile on their faces before Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko follow suit before Kōme clicks the camera button to capture a picture of the girls.

“Okay, let me see!” said Keiko as Kōme returns the phone to Keiko, who would look at the picture of them in the gallery. Keiko was feeling proud that Kōme did a clean picture of them with their smiles being displayed. “That was stupendous! I’m very proud of you!”

“Thanks, Keiko! I usually take a picture a few times to make sure that I’ll make a nice picture for everyone on my side. I’m feeling confident right now that I have been blessed when I’m taking pictures on them” said Kōme.

“Yes, you are, Kōme-san! I’m feeling blessed that you have some courage to show your friends, especially to your fellow club members, which everyone had been feeling delighted and grateful now. I hope that you’ll be able to make them feel compassionate with your serene smile” said Tomoka.

“Of course, Tomoka! I might be feeling generous now! There’s no way my friends will about to let me down! I’m going to continue showing some courage to everyone, so that I’ll be happy to be with them!” said Kōme.

“Yeah! I’m happy for you! Just keep it up to make them blessed and inspired!” said Tomoka.

“You got it!” said Kōme.

Megumi Kadokawa, Miyuki Matsuzaki and Katsuko Yoda would appear to meet with the girls. “Hey, girls!”

“Ah, Megumi-san!” said Tomoka.

“Miyuki-san and Katsuko-san!” said Keiko.

“Why are you here all of a sudden?” asked Kōme.

“Well, your friends have organized a great banquet at the hall for everyone to celebrate the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka” said Megumi.

“We looked at the organizers cleaning the hall to make way for everyone to enter that place” said Miyuki.

“Ah, that’s great! I can’t believe that it’s all cleaned up!” said Kōme.

“Yep! It’s already 9:30 in the evening and both Bravehearts of Ōta and Bravehearts of Fukuoka will be here to make the banquet started” said Katsuko.

“That’s very nice! I can’t wait to see what’s going to be looked like when we’re about to enter this place!” said Kōme.

“Yep! Hopefully, you can come with us because it’s going to be a great night to end this night before preparing for the big day tomorrow!” said Miyuki.

“Oh, sure, we would be glad to!” said Tomoka.

“You can count on me!” said Kōme.

“Yeah! We want to visit that place!” said Keiko.

“Yeah, don’t forget about us!” said Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“Okay! Just come to the hall and have a great banquet tonight!” said Megumi.

“We’ll wait you at the entrance of the hall!” said Miyuki.

“The banquet will start in a few moments!” said Katsuko.

“Okay, we will!” said Tomoka, Kōme, Keiko, Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko before Megumi, Miyuki and Katsuko leaving to the hall for the banquet.

“Oh, I’m so excited about the banquet, girls! I would be ready to have a great night with your friends out here!” said Yuno.

“I’m feeling uplifted that your friends are ready to make this event blooming before tomorrow” said Satomi.

“It’s going to be great that we’re gathering together like we used to in Fukuoka, but I guess that I’m thrilled that Tomoka will be part of us for one night” said Sumiko.

“One night would be a harmonious night to celebrate for all of us!” said Maiko.

“Hopefully, we’ll have great memories to treasure those by the end of the day!” said Keiko.

“Yeah, I agree, Keiko-san! Everyone’s invited, which means that we’re all set for the banquet” said Tomoka.

“After all, we’ll be ready to shine together for a brighter future!” said Kōme.

“Yeah!” said Keiko, Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“Great! Now, let’s celebrate together with my friends at the hall for the banquet night!” said Tomoka.

“Okay!” said Kōme, Keiko, Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko are they would be joined by Tomoka to leave the living room and head to the hall where the banquet will about to take place. Tomoka had finally become blessed when she met the four leading girls of the braveheart groups of Fukuoka after she had met Keiko last week. The five leading girls of the braveheart groups of Fukuoka have been responsible in making their community in Fukuoka getting brighter with their pride and willpower, which they were very proud of their hometown through representing their own groups. Tomoka had been thrilled when Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko have recognized Subaru, which means that they must be admiring her by making compliments about him. Hopefully, Tomoka will continue to make new friends from other areas outside of her hometown because she’s always making them blessed and inspired with her precious smile.

The Bravehearts of Fukuoka, also known as the Bravehearts of Higashi Fukuoka, had become the first braveheart group to be formed, founded by its leader Kazuhiro Hatakenaka, the Blue Ace of Fukuoka. After that group was formed, there are four more braveheart groups that have been formed a few weeks later, namely the Bravehearts of Hakata, the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka, the Bravehearts of Sawara and the Bravehearts of Nishi Fukuoka. These four bravehart groups would follow the examples of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka because they want to bless and inspire their community with their pride, courage and willpower. As a result, these five have become very close with each other until its present day. And so, I’ll be posting the next profile of the characters of the Red Section Series as this one is very special because it will be the Royal Flush of Fukuoka and the Five Young Queens of Fukuoka, also known as the leading boys and girls of the braveheart groups of Fukuoka.

Now that Tomoka and the five girls from Fukuoka have met with each other, they’ll be ready to enter the hall together, so that they will be attending the banquet that will be organized by both Bravehearts of Ōta and Bravehearts of Fukuoka to celebrate the development of the friendship between the two.

Hi, everyone! I was getting busy earlier in the morning where I watched Game 6 between my favorite team, the Atlanta Hawks, and the Milwaukee Bucks, and unfortunately, the Hawks lost by 11 points, which means that they’re now eliminated from the Eastern Conference Finals.:( It’s so sad that they have lost all hopes after they have fought themselves in trying to force Game 7, but they can’t stop the Bucks though. It was a good season for the Hawks after getting struggled during the mid-season, but thanks to Coach Nate McMillan, the Hawks are finally looking better with their future is bright as Trae Young, Kevin Huerter, DeAndre Hunter, Cam Reddish, John Collins and Onyeka Okongwu alongside Bogdan Bogdanovic and Clint Capela are looking forward to dominate the NBA in the future in they want to get strong next season. I would expect to see them getting better because of their development and potential, but hopefully, they’ll come back stronger for sure!;) So, congratulations to the Milwaukee Bucks for being the 2021 Eastern Conference Champions as they will be facing off against the Phoenix Suns in three days for the 2021 NBA Finals!:) Better luck next season, Hawks! Just keep believing for the True to Atlanta spirit, so that they will rise together one day!;) Now that the series is over, it’s time for me to kick off the month of July as I will post a new update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts to witness something blissful and harmonious, but before that, let’s get into the birthday corner!:)

Last Friday (July 2) was the birthday of Saki Nagatsuka from Ro-Kyu-Bu! Saki is one of the members of the Keishin Academy Elementary School girls’ basketball team and a bespectacled and intelligent girl who loves to speak with her friends in a responsible way and also a cook for her family's business which sells okonomiyaki with her father owning it. She and Maho Misawa (CV: Yuka Iguchi) have been close friends since they were getting with each other when they were little and they continued their friendship when they took part of the Keishin Academy Elementary School girls’ basketball team. Saki is voiced by Yōko Hikasa, whose birthday will be on July 16, which is two weeks away from now. By the way, Yōko is also the voice actress of Sayuri Ogi (Angel’s 3Piece!), Rias Gremory (High School DxD), Tomoe Udagawa (BanG Dream!, representing Afterglow), Maria Cadezavna Eve (Senki Zesshou Symphogear) and Kaoruko Mifune (Love Live! School Idol Festival All Stars, sister of Shioriko Mifune (CV: Moeka Koizumi), a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club). Belated happy birthday, Saki!:) Now, it’s time to witness something grand and big that you’ll never forget as here comes today’s update featuring Tomoka, the Five Young Queens of Fukuoka, the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka!:)

In Red Section-Chapter 52, Tomoka had gotten along with the five leading girls of the braveheart groups of Fukuoka at the balcony in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel. Of course, Keiko was there to meet Tomoka first before introducing her to the four remaining leading girls, composed of Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko. And now, the wait is finally over because you’re all thrilled to witness this wonderful event to cap off the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week!:D So, today’s update will be very special that you’ll never forget as the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka will be organizing a great banquet where they will celebrate the development of their friendship since last week. The great banquet had been planned by Keiko because her bravehart group, the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, had used to organize that in Fukuoka when they have invited the four braveheart groups to a big gathering every summer. And so, this banquet had to take place at the hall in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel where they will get along with each other for the rest of the night. Another thing that you find it very interesting is that the leaders of the two braveheart groups, Subaru Hasegawa (Bravehearts of Ōta) and Kazuhiro Hatakenaka (Bravehearts of Fukuoka), are not present because they were still staying at the Recreational Center for the Ōta Blue Wind Cup. That means, they will later appear in a future side chapter as they are going to join the party as well. So, you’re going to witness the fun and excitement in this banquet and that’s why you’re all part of that as well as readers, of course!;) Now, if you’re ready to get blessed and inspired with Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, then you’re in luck because here comes the 53rd side chapter of the Red Section Series with the title, “A Wonderful Banquet that Will Never Forget!”! Enjoy reading the 53rd side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 53: “A WONDERFUL BANQUET THAT WILL NEVER FORGET!

Date: May 7, 2010 (Friday)

This side chapter is focused on Tomoka and the Five Young Queens of Fukuoka as they are having a great night with their friends as they are attending a banquet at the hall of the Misawa Resort Hotel to celebrate the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka.

At the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel, Tomoka, Kōme, Keiko, Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko are walking through the hallway before they’re stopping by at the entrance of the hall. They found out that the door had been shut.

“That’s strange. The door had been closed” said Keiko.

“I don’t know what’s going on about this, but I think that they don’t want to spoil their moment at all” said Yuno.

“I believe so, Yuno-san. I think that they’re going to surprise us” said Tomoka.

“Maybe” said Yuno.

“But who will open the door?” asked Satomi.

“Well, it’s going to be Tomoka and Keiko” said Sumiko.

Tomoka and Keiko were surprised when Sumiko mentioned them about opening the door to see what’s surprising at the hall. “Me? You want us to open the door?”

“Yep!” said Yuno, Satomi and Maiko.

“Since you two were considered close, then you should open to see what’s surprising out there” said Maiko.

“Ah, okay, we get it now” said Tomoka and Keiko.

“Then, we better get ready for something that will happen right now, girls. Let’s be patient” said Kōme.

“Okay” said Tomoka, Keiko, Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko are nodding their heads in agreement. Tomoka and Keiko would open the door to find out what’s inside in the hall. That’s when the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka have surprised Tomoka.

“Surprise, Tomoka-san!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka.

“Wow! I never know that you guys are all here to surprise me! What is this all about?” said Tomoka.

“My friends from my group and your friends from your group have organized a great banquet to celebrate the development of the friendship between my Bravehearts of Fukuoka and your Bravehearts of Ōta. Isn’t that right, everyone?” said Keiko.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka.

“You did this for me?” queried Tomoka.

“Well, what should I say about this, Tomoka-san? We met together last wekk and so, I really want to motivate you because not only you’re the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Ōta, but you’re my great friend that I’ll never miss!” said Keiko.

“Ah, yeah, I guess that you’re right, Keiko-san. I’m pretty delighted to see this!” said Tomoka.

“Of course, Tomoka! Why don’t you come with us to celebrate?” said Nozomi.

“Yeah! It will be better that we need you to make sure that we’ll have a great time to finish the night with this magnificent event” said Jun.

“Hum, it’s our celebration that will never forget before tomorrow’s the last day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Sora.

“You got it right, Sora-san!” said Tomoka.

“Well, I’m glad that this place was so amazing after all!” said Yuno.

“You said it, Yuno-san. It feels great to see a wonderful place like this!” said Satomi.

“It may look like a function room, but I say that this one would be a great place to relax and enjoy” said Sumiko.

“I’m sure that tonight’s going to be indeed a special night for every one of you guys because I know that you’re all blessed and inspired. Don’t you think?” said Maiko.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka.

“You got it right, Maiko-san!” said Tomoka and Keiko before raising their hands to shout together in unison. “Now, let’s get the party started!”

“Yay!” said Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko, Maiko and the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka as the great banquet had just kicked off in a booming way.

The hall would be filled with harmonious music and blissful vibes as the two braveheart groups are celebrating their friendship through a banquet. Tomoka would speak to Aoi, Jun and Nozomi while drinking a glass of plum-flavored juice.

“I’m so happy that you made this event to end the night right now!” said Tomoka.

“That’s right, Tomoka! Keiko had been an organizer of her group just like how Kazuhiro did for his Blue Verdant Fukuoka. She was always motivated to find good ideas in making an event that would be filled with blessings and memories” said Aoi.

“When she had brought the ideas to us, we all know that she wanted to make our group and her group getting a great time to enjoy because she believes that it will help both sides to become close with each other” said Nozomi.

“So, it’s great to see her smile when she’s organizing an activity just like you, Tomoka-chan! You’re good in making ideas to make us blessed and inspired!” said Jun.

“Yeah, I agree, Jun-san. Keiko and I have been motivated to organize activities in our own ways, so that we’ll be able to make the community getting their attention to shine. I feel grateful to them when I’m organizing an activity for them because they want to make me feel blessed with their blessings, so that I’ll be delighted to see their smiles all the way” said Tomoka.

“Ah, I like the way you treated them nicely since you’re the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Ōta” said Aoi.

“Yeah! I’m very motivated that you’re being blessed and inspired because you’re making them so happy” said Nozomi.

“I hope that things will be going well for you to shine your way, Tomoka-chan! You will be proud for us” said Jun.

“Yeah, I will!” said Tomoka before looking around if there’s something missing. “Oh, by the way, girls, did you see Subaru-san yet?”

“Uh… he’s not here yet, Tomoka. He’s with his friends watching a match at the outdoor basketball court” said Aoi.

“Well, I supposed that he will come with us to celebrate, but I believe that he will come lately” said Tomoka.

“Oh, don’t worry about that, Tomoka-chan! Subaru said that he’ll be coming to us later on” said Jun.

“Really? Are you serious about this?” asked Tomoka.

“Yeah, of course!” said Jun.

“He said that once the first round of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup will be over, he and his friends will be coming back home” said Aoi.

“That way, it’ll be a complete group to celebrate the banquet!” said Nozomi.

“Yeah, I agree, girls! I hope that he will be with us later tonight! I can’t wait to see what he had watched in the tournament!” said Tomoka.

“You bet that right!” said Aoi while Jun and Nozomi smile on their faces.

Keiko shouts at Tomoka as she was trying to invite her to the table. “Tomoka-san! Come join with us! We want to have fun spending the night with you!”

“Okay, Keiko-san! I’ll be right there!” said Tomoka.

“You got it!” said Keiko.

“You know what, Tomoka-chan? I’ll be mindful if I’ll go with you” said Jun.

“Yeah! Count us in!” said Nozomi.

“Sure, Jun-san and Nozomi-san! I’ll take you to meet Keiko’s friends from Fukuoka!” said Tomoka.

“Hooray!” said Jun and Nozomi before thanking Tomoka. “Thank you very much, Tomoka-chan!”

“You are welcome, girls!” said Tomoka before waving her hands to say goodbye to Aoi. “I’ll see you later, Aoi-san! Call me if you need anything!”

“Okay!” said Aoi while seeing Tomoka, Jun and Nozomi going to Table #3, which is occupied by Keiko, Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“I’m so happy you came here right on time, Tomoka-san!” said Yuno.

“It makes me so excited that you’re finally here to join with us!” said Keiko.

“Yep! I’m getting excited to get along with you, girls!” said Tomoka.

“Yeah!” said Keiko, Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“Oh, by the way, if you don’t mind, can you invite both Jun and Nozomi to your table, so that we’ll have a nice and comfortable group to get along with each other” said Tomoka.

“Sure! You’re welcome to come with us, Jun-san and Nozomi-san!” said Keiko.

“Okay!” said Jun and Nozomi as they’re taking their seats in Table #3.

“So, how are you doing, you two?” asked Yuno.

“Yeah, we heard that you two were orphans when you were little” said Satomi.

“Yep! The two of us and Sora were orphans when we were adopted by Masayoshi. He was able to take care of us in the Little Wing” said Jun.

“As we grow up, we finally want to represent our own name by forming Lien de Famille as we want to sing with our harmonious voice to make everyone smile and peace” said Nozomi.

“Wow! I didn’t know that you two were singers!” said Yuno.

“You must be performing like angels!” said Satomi.

“Yes, we are!” said Jun and Nozomi.

“We want to inspire everyone to make sure that they will be able to show their compassion to us, which is why we performed some songs together” said Jun.

“So that, everyone will be able to listen our voices like it’s peaceful and harmonious” said Nozomi.

“Well, I like your way to inspire everyone in the community. It makes everyone getting their blessings coming to their way and it’s great that they have them to shine their way” said Sumiko.

“It was so nice that you have done this to your community and I believe that they have been very confident to show their innocence and courage to you. That way, they’ll be able to believe in themselves that they want to bless them at the same time” said Maiko.

“Of course, we are! Our community will be able to show their innocence and courage, so that they’ll represent themselves as they want to step up to believe and inspire” said Jun.

“It’s like you want to make a wish and of course, you’ll make yourself delighted if your wish had been fulfilled” said Nozomi.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“Are you going to make more expectations to make the community getting their wish being fulfilled?” asked Yuno.

“Well, it depends on they have done something good” said Jun.

“But we always gonna have help for them because they want to be more harmonious and peaceful, so that everything will be just fine” said Nozomi.

“Ah, okay. I see it now” said Yuno.

“Those answers are more blissful. Don’t you think?” said Satomi.

“Yeah, I’m pretty agreed with this, Satomi-san!” said Sumiko.

“Helping everyone in the community is a great way to make them feel blessed and grateful. I know that you have done anything for them just because you have shown some compassion and willpower to them to make sure that they’ll not let them down” said Maiko.

“Just like the braveheart groups in our city. We always want to grow our friendship with our community, so that we want to them to inspire and shine like the way we did” said Yuno.

“Yeah, we agree with that, girls! There’s no way we will lose our pride and willpower because we’ll do our best to make everyone smile and peace!” said Jun.

“It will be grateful that you’ll make us smile because it will cherish you for sure!” said Nozomi.

“Yeah!” said Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“Okay, everyone! I think that Tomoka-san will about to explain something important. Okay?” said Keiko.

“Okay, Keiko-san!” said Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“There you go! Now, Tomoka-san, share it to us!” said Keiko.

“Thanks, Keiko-san!” said Tomoka before she’ll explain something important. “With tomorrow being the last day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week, I think that we will be expecting a lot of new things to shine in our hometown because it makes the community feeling blessed and inspired after we encouraged them to motivate and enjoy to celebrate the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon.”

“The Era of Fuchsia and Celadon becomes a sign that makes the community in Ōta to step up for a brighter future and they’ll be ready to make the difference in trying to make Ōta more motivated with blessings and inspirations that they’ll get” said Jun.

“But that’s not all. Our Bravehearts of Ōta have begun partnering with different braveheart groups such as the Bravehearts of Nagoya and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. We want to make our partnership going brighter as usual, so that we’ll be able to let everyone feel their passion to show their pride, courage and willpower” said Nozomi.

“It’s going to be great that we’ll be ready to work our progress in trying to build a better friendship with our community to make sure that we’ll be ready to shine our way. Are you prepared for this?” said Tomoka.

“Yeah!” said Keiko, Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“It’s great that your hometown had growing with blessings with your way to make them feel better and their confidence won’t go down for sure!” said Keiko.

“I’m so surprised about the way your group did when we took a glimpse earlier and I can’t believe that they have shown their smiles with each other. I’m feeling good for them because they know how to bless for the community” said Yuno.

“Whenever people want to show their pride and willpower, they’ll have to think first before they’ll do expected things to happen. Just like your group, Tomoka-san! I’m really sure that your group had made a lot of activities to make your community getting prepared to enjoy” said Satomi.

“Of course, Satomi-san! Our group had shown some pride, courage and willpower to make sure that we’re ready to make the community growing with blessings to be made” said Tomoka.

“From the day we kicked off the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon until now, it’s getting better and better to see everyone showing their way to bless and inspire for us!” said Jun.

“It’s very beautiful to make the event getting peaceful and harmonious, compared to different festivals that taken place in Ōta because the Fuchsia and Celadon Week is all about creating a brighter future for the community to shine” said Nozomi.

“Well, I agree with your words, Nozomi-san! The future may not be brighter quickly, but they should prepare themselves for better things to come” said Keiko.

“Yeah! I love the way your friends and allies doing their great job to encourage everyone to enjoy themselves!” said Yuno.

“That gives me some goosebumps to see their smiles out there! They don’t want to miss the fun for sure!” said Satomi.

“There are a lot of ways to make the community being full of smiles and joys, so that everyone will be ready to show their pride and willpower to bless them” said Sumiko.

“A lot of groups have done that when they organized activities to make them feeling enjoyed to be with them, which means that they will be able to show their smiles to make sure that they’re feeling satisfied right now” said Maiko.

“Yeah, I agree, girls! The Bravehearts of Ōta had our important goal to make, which is to make our community being full of smiles, blessings and inspirations. It’s typical to say that we have done something big for them because we want them to be motivated to show their compassion for us to be blessed” said Tomoka.

“And it’s going to be great that they’ll finally have their inspiration to go with because they’ll cherish those to show some love for us” said Jun.

“Of course, there will be a lot of inspired people wanting to be like us and it feels great that they will be ready to do anything to inspire us for sure” said Nozomi.

“Well, I hope that your hometown will continue to have blessings with your ideas, girls! You never know that you’ll do a lot of things to make everyone feel happy. We’ll be happy if we can enjoy ourselves to get along with you. Right?” said Keiko.

“Yes, indeed, Keiko-san! I have learned a lot of things from Subaru-san and if he wants to shine his way, I’ll do the same thing. You can do that to show some representation for your group” said Tomoka.

“Yeah, I can do that!” said Keiko.

“What about you, girls?” asked Jun.

“Would you do the same thing to make your group getting blessed and inspired?” asked Nozomi.

“Of course!” said Yuno.

“No doubt about it!” said Satomi.

“We’ll show some colors with pride and willpower” said Sumiko.

“That way, we’re all in to shine!” said Maiko.

“Now, that’s what I’m talking about! Showing some determination to make yourselves motivated!” said Nozomi.

“That means that you’re all sensational now!” said Jun.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“You know, Tomoka-san, the four of us have our own way to bless everyone because it feels great that you have inspired everyone including us” said Yuno.

“Yeah! We would be delighted if we can step up with our own way, so that we will cherish everyone” said Satomi.

“It’s been an honor that we want to make the difference to make sure that everyone will be ready to see us for sure!” said Sumiko.

“Whenever when we’re working together, we’ll do our best to make us earned with compassion” said Maiko.

“Of course, you were, girls! I know that you had done a lot of things to make your community shine with your pride and willpower, but the one thing that you have to remember is to learn the way to bless and inspire everyone. That’s what we do to make everyone feeling motivated for a brighter future” said Tomoka.

“Yeah! We’ll be more delighted to see their smiles because it’s their way to respect us” said Jun.

“Everyone knows that we’ll show our true meaning of friendship and they believe that they’ll be able to inspire us at all. That’s why you have to show some smiles to make sure that you’re feeling grateful to represent your group. That way, they’ll be ready to help you for sure” said Nozomi.

“Yeah, we should do that!” said Yuno.

“Of course!” said Satomi.

“Representing will be great to know our names” said Sumiko.

“That way, we’ll be earned for sure” said Maiko.

“Well, I’m glad that you four have been inspiring her! That makes me so happy for you to make Tomoka proud! I hope that we have some bright ideas to work together with her in the future” said Keiko.

“Yeah, Keiko-san, we agree!” said Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“But most of us will be getting busy with other things like practice and other things to bless the community” said Yuno.

“We might not be able to meet with each other again until prefectural tournament comes July” said Satomi.

“You’re right, girls! We’re all busy with some activities to do and it’s a shame that we can’t get together after the festival” said Keiko.

“But what if we will meet with each other before tournament? That way, we’ll be able to make our time to step up for sure! What do you think?” said Sumiko.

“Now, that’s a great idea, Sumiko-san! The five of us should meet with each other in a few days before tournament starts. That way, we’ll be able to get along with each other by training and preparing for the tournament” said Keiko.

“Yeah!” said Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“It will be awesome that we’re going to train together for days after we get together the first time we meet!” said Maiko.

“That’s going to make us all set for the tournament with a great healthy version of ourselves!” said Yuno.

“Yeah, of course!” said Keiko before asking to Tomoka a question. ‘Well, what about your future to prepare?”

“I believe that my team will prepare to train hard before we’ll compete at the prefectural tournament, but also, I like your ideas that you’re planning, Keiko-san. You and the four will work together all day? That makes me wonder about doing it with the other girls too!” said Tomoka.

“Wait a minute, Tomoka-san. Did you say that you have friends outside of your hometown?” said Yuno.

“Of course! I have met some girls that were leading their teams before making it to the middle school this year like Asami Inagaki (Setagaya), Haruka Onizuka (Shinagawa), Haruka Murakawa (Suginami), Shinako Takanashi (Minato) and Yōko Matsushima (Takanawa). They’re very determined to step up and shine because they’re pretty good at it!” said Tomoka.

“Ah, I see it now, Tomoka-san! I bet that you’re going to have the same plan that Keiko-san planned” said Satomi.

“That way, you and your allies will get stronger this year!” said Yuno.

“Yeah, I would be glad to do that, but I’ll think about it for a while. It’s just part of my future plans with my team to make sure that we’re set for the prefectural tournament. You’ll see what will happen when it’s tournament time” said Tomoka.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko.

“So, Tomoka-san, are you waiting for Subaru-san and Kazuhiro-san? I believe that your friends are waiting for them to complete the banquet” said Keiko.

“Well, they’ll be here very soon, Keiko-san. It’s still 10:00 in the evening and the banquet was getting smoother than I expected” said Tomoka.

“For now, you have to sit back, relax and enjoy the night” said Jun.

“We’ll make sure that they’ll be here in any moment” said Nozomi.

“Okay!” said Keiko.

Tomoka would fill the plum-flavored juice to her glass before giving it to her friends Jun and Nozomi. “Let’s give all what we got to celebrate this big night!”

“Yeah, you got it!” said Keiko.

“Sure!” said Yuno.

“You bet!” said Satomi.

“No doubt about it!” said Sumiko.

“Count on it!” said Maiko.

Tomoka shouts first by giving the toast to her friends. “To a developed friendship for a better future!”

“To a developed friendship for a better future!” said Jun, Nozomi, Keiko, Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko while raising their glass to toast with Tomoka. Then, everyone drinks their plum-flavored juice together.

“Ah! It makes me so relaxed that this night will never forget! Isn’t that right, Tomoka-san?” said Keiko.

“Yes, indeed, Keiko-san. I have been motivated since earlier in the morning to prepare this day and I think that it’s finally happening” said Tomoka.

“Of course, it was a beautiful night to finish the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week with a lot of fantastic and harmonious moments being made” said Jun.

“We’ll never forget all those moments now!” said Nozomi.

“You got it right, Nozomi-san!” said Tomoka.

“Now, let’s get some food at the food stall for a late dinner, so that we can eat together!” said Keiko.

“Okay!” said Tomoka, Jun, Nozomi, Yuno, Satomi, Sumiko and Maiko as they stand up together to get some food from the food stall to eat. It was an imaginable night to witness the great banquet getting started. Tomoka and her friends have shared their moments to make sure their night will be blissful and harmonious. What’s important for them is that the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka will be growing, so that they’ll become close with each other very soon. It’s a great thing that both groups have celebrated their night to end the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week, which means that they’re feeling blessed and inspired with their pride and compassion to be represented with.

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 54: “The Reds and Pinks Bloom Together for One Big Night!”

Everyone is all excited for the great banquet because this wonderful had been started. They’re ready to celebrate the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, which was started six days ago and it continued to grow when they meet with each other again. It’s going to be amazing that this one will be a wonderful night that will never forget because this banquet will be centered for the future updates of the Passioned Relatives at the Fuchsia and Celadon Week where you’ll witness a lot of new characters that you never seen before and hopefully, you’re all ready for this!:D Hopefully, this banquet will be more blooming and more harmonious to witness with the members of both Bravehearts of Ōta and Bravehearts of Fukuoka ready to get along with each other for one night to celebrate with their pride and willpower. The penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week is not over yet as you’re going to see something fantastic and grateful that will make the great banquet a night to remember.:) Now, as I’ll be planning to post new drafts that will take place during that event, which means that you’re gonna see all of those at some point, so that you’ll be ready to bless and inspire them for sure!;) The next update will be introducing you to another new character to appear in the Passioned Relatives at the Fuchsia and Celadon Week because it will be the first appearance of another cousin of Tomoka Minato in Tatsuhisa Minato as he will be appearing to the great banquet to meet with Megumi Kadokawa, Anzu Ogi, Kōme Ogi, Junichi Kamisaka and Miyuki Matsuzaki where they will be getting along with each other to celebrate this event. It’s going to be fantastic to see another new character to make it to the series for the first time, but hopefully, this one will be different because he’s more determined and pride to make his friends feel comfortable with his pure heart. So, get ready to see all of those in the next update!:) I’ll see you on July 7 (Wednesday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

NOTE: By the way, I also decided to put the alternate version of the introduction if the Atlanta Hawks would have tied the series to force Game 7. This one is different compared to the actual one from above because that would have happened if they have been able to beat the Milwaukee Bucks to force Game 7.:D

Hi, everyone! I was getting busy earlier in the morning where I watched Game 6 between my favorite team, the Atlanta Hawks, and the Milwaukee Bucks and of course, the Hawks have forced Game 7 as they rally themselves with the victory to tie the series at 3.:D It was a thrilling match to see because the Hawks aren’t giving up yet and they have to run their place like they used to in Games 1 and 4. I’m feeling grateful that the series isn’t giving up yet and the Hawks have been resilient to make sure that they’ll stave off elimination and have one more game to finish it off as they will be going to Milwaukee once again to battle against the Bucks one last time.:) I’m so excited that this series is coming down the wire and hopefully, I want to see the Hawks crushing the Bucks in Game 7, which it’s going to be great if they continue to dominate themselves with our players, Lou Williams, Kevin Huerter, Bogdan Bogdanovic, John Collins and Clint Capela. Hopefully, they’re finally ready to close out the series with the same energy and this will be their time to advance to the 2021 NBA Finals for the first time since 1961.:) Don’t give up, Hawks! Just believe and keep fighting!;) Now that the thrill is over, it’s time for me to kick off the month of July as I will post a new update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts to witness something blissful and harmonious, but before that, let’s get into the birthday corner!:)

Hi, everyone!:) I have been very confident right now since the Eastern Conference Finals exit of my favorite team, the Atlanta Hawks, at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks, who had lost Game 1 to the Phoenix Suns in the 2021 NBA Finals. It's been a while that I wanted to finally get into writing new drafts after that one because I'm finally getting a chance to make new drafts as soon as I want to continue posting those as long as I could!;) Also, if you're wondering about this month, the month of July is full of celebrations as not only you're gonna celebrate a lot of birthday celebrants (both characters and seiyus), but there will be also some special mentioned celebrations that you're about to witness.:D We already know that the 2020 Summer Olympics will about to begin in two weeks on July 23 (Friday), but this one is going to be special to celebrate for the fans of the works of the author Sagu Aoyama. Last July 1 (Thursday) was the 10th anniversary of the anime adaption of Ro-Kyu-Bu! when they released their first episode of their first season. Now, 10 years later, they will never be forgotten since I have followed that anime lately and I like the characters, especially with some typical harem vibes due to the relationship between Subaru Hasegawa (CV: Yūki Kaji) and the girls, led by Tomoka Minato (CV: Kana Hanazawa). That's why I'm very excited that I want to get more into this because it's been 10 years that this anime had been blooming and harmonious with 2 seasons running (Ro-Kyu-Bu! was aired in 2011 while Ro-Kyu-Bu! SS was aired in 2013).:D I know that this anime had given me some blessings because I like the way the girls did their best to shine for Subaru and they'll always do whatever it takes to represent themselves as 'dearests'. As a result, this month will be a blooming month because that's when I posted the last update where they, as members of the Bravehearts of Ōta, were celebrating the great banquet with the Bravehearts of Fukuoka to celebrate their friendship with them, which this is going to be the kickoff of the 10th anniversary of the anime adaption of Ro-Kyu-Bu! for Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!:) It was so amazing that this previous update is more blessing like how Tomoka and her friends have been friends with their allies on their side and it will be awesome that they have been friends with the other braveheart groups that they have met such as the Bravehearts of Nagoya and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. That's why it will be good enough to show their pride, courage and willpower, so that they will be ready to bless and inspire their community for sure!;) Anyway, if you want to read it back, I recommend reading it if you please, so that you'll be blessed and inspired to see what's going on in that update.:) With the 10th anniversary of the anime adaption of Ro-Kyu-Bu! had already been started, it's time to make Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts going to bloom and shine for more!:) But before that, let's kick off today with the birthday corner because these celebrants will always bloom to celebrate their birthdays, so here we go!;)

Today (July 7) is a double birthday celebration as it is the birthdays of Kōme Ogi (Angel’s 3Piece!), Hanako Yamadaki (Ongaku Shoujo) and Mei Hayasaka (IDOLY PRIDE, representing Hoshimi Production and Tsuki no Tempest/Moon Tempest). Kōme is the Shrine Priestess of the Soryu Island and the illustrator of her friend Kyō Nukui ’s album covers. (By the way, Kyō is voiced by Yūki Inoue.) Kōme’s nickname is Kiriyume due to her position as the Shrine Priestess of the Soryu Island. Kōme had a crush on Kyō when they both chat with each other online, but she didn’t confess to him because Yuzuha Aigae (CV: Yuka Iguchi) had tried to sabotage their relationship by pretending to be Kiriyume to blackmail them. Despite this, Kōme and Kyō have mended their relationship with each other and Kyō gave Kōme another chance by drawing a new album cover for Lien de Famille’s new song “INNOCENT BLUE”. Hanako is a singer and manager of the Music Girls, who gave her a spot to become a member of that group throughout the series. She is a returnee from Vienna, Austria with her musician parents, and she has perfect pitch, which she joins the staff of Ongaku Shoujo to support them because she had known about the brilliance of idols through that idol group. She lives in a share house, used by most members of Ongaku Shoujo and is responsible for adjusting the condition. Hanako is also unaware of her friend Uori Mukae (CV: Yui Ogura), who have known with each other since then. And last but not the least, Mei is a member of Hoshimi Production and Tsuki no Tempest/Moon Tempest. She is a first year high school student from the Hoshimi Private High School and had been personally scouted by Kōhei Makino (CV: Haruki Ishiya) to change the tension between the members. She has a cheerful and friendly personality and while she treats everyone without hesitation, she has the kindness to be considerate and caring. Mei has good motor skills and high performance ability and often plays with stray cats on the roadside. She can also see what is invisible due to her family origin and alongside Kōhei, she can only see Mana Nagase (CV: Sayaka Kanda), who became a ghost after she died in a road accident on her wayto the Venus Grand Prix finals. Kōme Ogi is voiced by Kana Hanazawa while Hanako Yamadaki is voiced by Seria Fukagawa. Happy birthday, Kōme, Hanako and Mei!:) And before you’ll read this update, this one will be dedicated to three voice actresses: Rina Kitagawa, Ruriko Noguchi and Yurina Amami. Rina and Ruriko have celebrated their birthdays yesterday (July 6) while Yurina is currently celebrating her birthday today (July 7). For yesterday’s birthdays, Rina was born in Yokohama, Kanagawa while Ruriko came from Fukuoka, which is also the hometown of Kaori Maeda (seiyu of Shizuku Ōsaka and Yomi Takeda) of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Yume Miyamoto (seiyu of Rikka Takarada and Rei Okada) and Marie Hashimoto (seiyu of Sumire Fujita). Coincidentally, both Rina and Ruriko were part of the cast of Tamayomi as Rina being the voice actress of Ryō Kawasaki and Ruriko being the voice actress of Nozomi Nakamura. Both Ryō and Nozomi are members of the Shin Koshigaya High School Baseball Club. Rina and Ruriko have their own characters that they voiced in different anime releases such as Rina voicing Saya Kogatana from Keijo!!!!!!!! while Ruriko voicing Ilane, a member of BUD VIRGIN LOGIC, from SHOW BY ROCK! And on the other hand, hailing from Kanagawa, Yurina is the voice actress of Kayoko Hayakawa (Asteroid in Love) and Es (Milgram). Yurina is also part of the cast of Love Live! Sunshine!! The School Idol Movie Over the Rainbow as a high school student. I hope that they will continue making progress of their voice acting careers. Belated happy birthday, Rina and Ruriko, and happy birthday, Yurina!:) Speaking of Kōme, she will be joining with her cousin Anzu Ogi, Megumi Kadokawa, Junichi Kamisaka, Miyuki Matsuzaki and a brand new character to appear in the series for today’s update, which means that it will be more of a harmonious and blissful encounter while celebrating the great banquet for the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. So, get ready to witness all because it’s time to continue the celebration of this big night with today’s update!:)

Today’s update will be welcoming you to a brand new character that will about to appear in the Passioned Relatives at the Fuchsia and Celadon Week Arc of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts as this time, it will be another cousin of Tomoka Minato in Tatsuhisa Minato. Of course, he will be introduced by Megumi Kadokawa to Kōme Ogi, Anzu Ogi (the cousin of Kōme), Junichi Kamisaka (another cousin of Tomoka) and Miyuki Matsuzaki while the great banquet had just getting started. You’re going to see the true reason of why the relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta being invited into the Fuchsia and Celadon Week in the first place and you’ll gonna find out who made that plan all along. This update will be very important because you’re gonna get thrilled when you read this as it’s going to be something that you should know about how that idea was planned for the invitees to attend the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. So, if you’re ready to see those, then get ready to make yourself shocked and surprised because here comes the 54th side chapter of the Red Section Series with the title, “The Reds and Pinks Bloom Together for One Big Night!”! Enjoy reading the 54th side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 54: “THE REDS AND PINKS BLOOM TOGETHER FOR ONE BIG NIGHT!

Date: May 7, 2010 (Friday)

This side chapter is focused on Megumi Kadokawa, Anzu Ogi, Kōme Ogi, Junichi Kamisaka, Miyuki Matsuzaki and Tatsuhisa Minato as they are getting along with each other in their table during the great banquet at the hall in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel. Tatsuhisa Minato is the cousin of Tomoka through the Minato clan as Tatsuhisa’s grandfather and Tomoka’s grandfather were siblings.

When the great banquet had been commenced, the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka are feeling relaxed and enjoyed to celebrate their friendship since their first encounter nearly a week ago. Their allies have also enjoyed at the banquet as well, which means that they’ll be grateful to show their pride and willpower for sure. At the Table #1, Megumi, Anzu, Kōme, Junichi and Miyuki are feeling harmonious to see their allies having a great night to enjoy.

“It feels like the banquet had looked to be promising, guys! Everyone had enjoyed themselves to celebrate the friendship between the two braveheart groups” said Megumi.

“Yep. I’m feeling proud of them to see their smiles when they have developed a good friendship between them. It reminds me of how the five braveheart groups in Fukuoka meeting with each other in one occasion where they have to spend their time together. That makes me so happy to see them because it’s their way to express their happiness with one another” said Miyuki.

“Wait. Did you say that there are five braveheart groups have known with each other?” queried Junichi.

“Yep! There are five braveheart groups being existed in Fukuoka, composed of the Bravehearts of Higashi Fukuoka, the Bravehearts of Sawara, the Bravehearts of Hakata, the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka and the Bravehearts of Nishi Fukuoka” said Megumi.

“Ah, I see! I never expect to see that happen!” said Junichi.

“I was surprised that they have their own special friendship with them because they were living in the same city” said Anzu.

“You bet that right!” said Miyuki.

“So, does that mean that the Bravehearts of Fukuoka that Keiko led is actually getting an alternate name?” asked Kōme.

“Of course! The Bravehearts of Fukuoka have always been used to address themselves as they were the first group to form in Fukuoka, but sometimes, other bravehearts in Fukuoka and its neighboring areas have addressed them as Bravehearts of Higashi Fukuoka. That’s why it’s so confusing for the people outside Fukuoka that they address them as Bravehearts of Fukuoka, but they didn’t know that there were more braveheart groups being existed in Fukuoka” said Miyuki.

“I get it now. It looked like some people have addressed the Bravehearts of Fukuoka by saying that name, but they might be unsure if they’re actually them” said Kōme.

“It would be better if they address them as the Bravehearts of Higashi Fukuoka. That way, everyone will finally realize that there are more braveheart groups being existed in Fukuoka” said Anzu.

“I agree. However, since you guys have said the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, then it’s okay for us to address it because only the firsts can address their original name, even if your city had a lot of wards, to be honest” said Miyuki.

“Well, that makes sense, Miyuki-san” said Junichi.

“Yeah, me too. I guess that we will address some braveheart groups that are first to be formed with their original names, so that they’ll be honored for sure” said Megumi.

Miyuki smiles on her face while speaking to Megumi. “I agree with that, Megumi-san.”

“Speaking of which, why Subaru and his guys aren’t here yet?” asked Kōme.

“Yeah, I was so curious about this right now” said Anzu.

“Well, he said that he and his friends will be coming soon once they finished watching the matches of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup” said Megumi.

“I’m worried about the same thing because Kazuhiro and his boys aren’t returning yet, but good thing that Masayo and the rest are there to stay” said Miyuki.

“Hmmm… interesting, guys. But we still have a few hours left to celebrate the night, right?” said Junichi.

“Yes, we are” said Megumi, Anzu, Kōme and Miyuki.

“That’s why it’s going to be great that we’ll do a lot of things to make the Fuchsia and Celadon Week blooming that we expect” said Junichi.

“Yeah, I agree, Junichi-san! In fact, the relatives of the Bravehearts of Ōta have been blessed and inspired to be with us because they want to get their chance to get along with us” said Megumi.

“Oh! I guess that the banquet won’t go wrong after all, Megumi-san. It seems that a lot of relatives in the group are there to make themselves feeling positive and enjoyed” said Miyuki.

“You said it, Miyuki-san! In fact, I’ll introduce you to a cousin of Tomoka” said Megumi.

“Sure, I would be glad to!” said Miyuki.

“Okay!” said Megumi before doing a whistle to call out Tatsuhisa Minato, a first year high school student from the Keishin Academy High School and the youngest child of Shinnosuke and Tokiko Minato. Shinnosuke is the oldest child of Tatsunori Minato, the brother of Tomoka’s grandfather Takuma Minato.

“Hey, Megumi-san! It’s so nice that you call me thorugh the whistle!” said Tatsuhisa Minato, who had sported his hair brown just like Tomoka’s father Shinobu.

“Yep! That’s why I’m calling to introduce you to a friend of mine from Fukuoka” said Megumi.

“That’s neat! I’m glad that you’re going to introduce me to someone that is admired and prestigious just like my friends are” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“Well, you said it!” said Megumi before introducing Tatsuhisa to Miyuki. “Tatsuhisa-san, this is Miyuki Matsuzaki, a friend of Keiko Kakuma and the leader of the Stormred Higabana. She came here with the Bravehearts of Fukuoka for a two-day stay in the mansion.”

Tatsuhisa gives Miyuki a hand to call for a handshake. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miyuki-san! I’m Tatsuhisa Minato, but you can call me ‘Tatsu-san’ for short.”

“Okay, then, nice to meet you too, Tatsu-san” said Miyuki as she shakes hands with Tatsuhisa as a form of greeting. “So, why are you invited to the banquet?”

“Uh… you see, it was my cousin Mako, who invited me to visit the Misawa Resort Hotel, because she proposed an idea to Subaru, which he approved. Her idea is to invite the relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta to the Fuchsia and Celadon Week, so that they’ll feel their moment to enjoy celebrating the new era in Ōta. Of course, Mako is the cousin of Tomoka and she had been thinking about the relatives doing their same thing to have fun because she believes that they deserve to celebrate the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon by showing their pride, courage and willpower. As a result, most of us were here to participate at the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“Ah! I didn’t know that there are a lot of relatives in that group coming out to enjoy the fun in the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. That was very expected to see!” said Miyuki.

“Yeah, you have to give Mako a credit because she was very confident about bringing the relatives to the festival and I believe that this contributes to keep the community bringing more blessings to everyone” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“That’s right, Tatsu-san! Everyone knows the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon is the beginning of a new life for the youth in Ōta and it energizes them to start something new” said Junichi.

“For starters, they want to be inspired by showing their courage and so, we want them to be motivated” said Anzu.

“Which is why my friends have organized the Fuchsia and Celadon Week to kick off a new era in Ōta known as the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon” said Kōme.

“It was an idea to say about something colorful to bring the auras of hope and prosperity into our community because we want to elevate ourselves” said Megumi.

“And to elevate ourselves means that we want to make better hopes and dreams, so that we’ll be able to show some pride and compassion to everyone” said Junichi.

“That’s very nice, guys! I’m really delighted to see your community getting elevated for their hopes and dreams to catch with. I’m sure that everyone will be ready to step up and shine like the other communities used to” said Miyuki.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Megumi, Anzu, Kōme, Junichi and Tatsuhisa.

“By the way, each relative had their own color to represent, which means that they have to show their representation, so that they’ll be recognized through pride and compassion. Although Ōta’s dominant color is debatable, the original dominant color of Ōta is pink” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“Ah, I see that point, Tatsu-san, but when I looked at the guests, they have worn red-colored shirts. Do you think that it’s debatable?” said Miyuki.

“Well, there are times that it considered debatable, but they argued that the dominant color of Ōta must be red, but actually, pink is more dominant, so do speak because there are a lot of sakura trees in the Tamagawadai Park when it’s springtime” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“True, Tatsu-san, but why those people being appeared out here?” asked Miyuki.

“It’s because the Family of Angels and a few representatives including Mako have implemented the Cousin and Color Schedule Guide where we will invite people to the mansion at occasional time” said Megumi.

“For the Fuchsia and Celadon Week, it’s various due to a lot of colors have been seen from the beginning until tonight, but it’s free to do so” said Junichi.

“However, for the following weeks, it will be different because each color had been scheduled, based from the most dominant to the least dominant” said Kōme.

“In our first implementation, we invited the relatives that its main color is red such as Yūjirō Hasegawa, Azusa Kawase, Hideko Misawa, Ryōsuke Sugimura, Yuzu Hirokawa, Motohisa and Manatsu Nishimoto and Kōichirō Tsujimoto. We already know that the Hakamadas have some of their relatives that made red as their main color such as Seijirō Hakamada, Hitomi Hakamada and Kuni Hakamada” said Anzu.

“You will expect to see them doing their great things to give everyone their smiles that they need and so, we were proud of them because they were the relatives of the Bravehearts of Ōta” said Megumi.

“Well, good for them! I really hope that they’ll keep this up to make sure that they’ll do anything to bless the community and the Bravehearts of Ōta” said Miyuki.

“Yeah!” said Megumi, Anzu, Kōme, Junichi and Tatsuhisa.

“So, are you going to keep this plan going?” asked Miyuki.

“Looks like it would be expecting, Miyuki-san” said Megumi.

“But we’ll have to plan on those if we don’t have anything busy” said Anzu.

“However, it depends on the decision of any braveheart to invite their relatives in a different color” said Junichi.

“That way, it will be colorful to make the schedule going to bloom” said Kōme.

“Yeah, I really believe that you’ll make the community even colorful as it should be when the relatives will be coming out to shine for sure” said Miyuki.

Megumi, Anzu, Kōme, Junichi and Tatsuhisa nod their heads to agree with Miyuki while speaking to her. “Yeah, we agree!”

“Anyway, Miyuki-san, what is your favorite color?” asked Tatsuhisa Minato.

“It’s going to be red” said Miyuki.

“Oh, that’s nice! Red is my favorite color too!” said Kōme.

“Really?” asked Miyuki, which Kōme nods her head to agree with her. “Wow! I’m really surprised that your color is red too! I’m so delighted that we wear red-colored clothes!”

“Yeah! This is my red miko that I wore right now. It was so great to wear this like I’m a shrine maiden. That’s why I have to wear my red miko at any occasional time” said Kōme.

“That’s good! I really like that!” said Miyuki.

“Thanks, Miyuki!” said Kōme.

Tatsuhisa would Miyuki another question. “But why red is your favorite color?”

“Well, I want to say that red is my favorite color because it brings me some passion and determination to show and I really like to make myself passionate just like Keiko did. Keiko had always worn red-colored clothes even she had a different hair color in sky blue. I don’t know how she wear any clothes that are colored red rather than sky blue in the first place, but I feel optimisitic to use red for any purposes. Keiko and I have worn red-colored clothes to make ourselves compassionate and it was so great that we did that together since we’re childhood friends in Chihaya. I hope that things will continue to grow our friendship further because it feels great to be close after all” said Miyuki.

“Wow! That was a kind statement that you said to us” said Megumi.

“It makes me so comfortable that red is something passionate” said Kōme.

“I really believe that you’re more motivated to wear any clothes that are red” said Junichi.

“Which makes you feel determined and compassionate” said Anzu.

“I like how the way you and Keiko have worn red-colored clothes, but I think that you must be giving pride for her” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“Yes, I was. Keiko was my childhood friend when we were little and we used to play tag with her other friends. It was really fun to do that, but as we grow up, we continue to grow closer and closer until we form the Stormred Higabana to represent her group of friends. I’m the leader of that group because I always entrusted Keiko to be close friends and I feel generous for her” said Miyuki.

“I see. That group of yours must be representing for her, Miyuki-san. I guess that your representation is to show some compassion. Don’t you think?” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“Yep! You got it!” said Miyuki.

“Well, I’m happy for you! I really like to see your pride for your close firend and that reminds me of Tomoka, to be honest” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“Ah! You’re seemed to close with her, Tatsu-san! How did you recognize her?” said Miyuki.

“You know, we were cousins in the same clan, the Minato clan. I was the youngest child of Shinnosuke and Tokiko Minato. My other siblings have been mature and they have their own path to take with. I was the only child to make friends with the younger ones because I like how they feel to motivate themselves. I also encouraged my friends to help the youth and they made me feel happy to do for it. It was so great that I’m a generous and happy guy to everyone and I always like to be polite with them” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“So, did you join any group to help the community?” asked Miyuki.

“Yes, I have. I had joined the Ōta Red Section where it is composed of the young people that strive for better dreams to show with. All the relatives of the Bravehearts of Ōta like Anzu said were part of that group too because they’re very proud of how they want to represent for Subaru, Tomoka and their group of friends. They usually hang out with them if they want to because they know that they want to see them blessed and inspired” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“Ah! That’s very nice for them! I feel happy to see them bringing their pride to their relatives, which means thar they’re feeling honored for sure!” said Miyuki.

“Yep! You got that right! When Tomoka had encouraged me to come to her gathering one time, I was so deserved to be part of it and I really felt good to enjoy with my relatives out there. For me, Tomoka is carefree and hopeful because she can do whatever she wants” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“Well, your cousin-type relationship was really great that you have been proud of her and it seems that you’re going to continue honoring for her” said Miyuki.

“Yeah, it feels great that Tomoka had been my cousin that I like to show some admiration the most because everyone knows that she’s the dearest” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“A dearest person had to show some pride and compassion to make sure that he/she will be ready to shine” said Junichi.

“You never know that Tomoka will do anything to shine because she’s our friend” said Megumi.

“Yeah, I agree with you, guys! Tomoka is like Keiko and I really am motivated to see what her future would be like. Maybe, she’ll have high hopes to cherish with!” said Miyuki.

“Yep! She had high hopes to bring her pride and courage to everyone because she’s the dearest” said Megumi.

“That’s why it was so great to see her aura that shines bright like a star” said Junichi.

“She’ll always be the star of the Bravehearts of Ōta and she’ll do her best to shine her way” said Anzu.

“It’s nice to see her motivation going well because she’s very admired to everyone” said Kōme.

“Yeah, I agree, guys!” said Miyuki. “Oh, you know, Tatsu-san, I think that everything will be great to see the friendship between Tomoka’s group and Keiko’s group getting developed since they have known with each other. I’m really proud of them because they know that they want to get together for some time.”

“Yeah, me either, Miyuki-san. As a matter of fact, I was wondering about what they will plan next” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“Well, I’m not sure about what they’re planning, Tatsu-san, but I think that they’ll do something big to make sure that they’ll work together as bravehearts” said Miyuki.

“I believe so. I guess that there’s nothing go wrong about this one because they have been desired to be close with each other” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“Yep!” said Miyuki.

“By the way, where are your fellow friends out there? I really think that they might be onto something” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“Uh… they were with the other friends of Tomoka at the other table where they have shared their fun” said Miyuki.

“Oh, I see! I never expect that things are getting warmer for them because they have known with each other at the same time” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“That’s right, Tatsu-san! Megumi and I have been leaders of the groups that were close to the leading girls” said Miyuki.

“And that’s why we’re always coming to support them!” said Megumi.

“That’s very nice for the two of you! I guess that the friendship between the two groups have been developed with another batch of groups that were close with each other! It seems that they want to develop their friendship right away to make sure that they’ll be cherished to enjoy themselves” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Megumi and Miyuki.

“Maybe, one day, we should organize a future activity to make sure that your groups will grow its friendship for sure!” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“That’s a good idea to do that, Tatsu-san, but my friends and I will be ending up getting busy for our duties as supporters of Keiko and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka” said Miyuki.

“Same goes to me and my group because we’re still working on completing the structure of our extended group. That’s why we might not gonna have that acitivity for a while” said Megumi.

“Oh, that’s a shame. I thought that idea is good” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“Well, your idea will be on our lists of plans to do in the future, Tatsu-san” said Junichi.

“Yeah, we’ll be trying to plan on those at some other time because like Miyuki and Megumi said, we’re all gonna be busy for some other acitivties and we’re not on the same home” said Kōme.

“Because Miyuki and her friends are from Fukuoka” said Anzu.

“Okay, I understand about that, guys” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“But don’t worry, Tatsu-san. We’ll have that very soon!” said Miyuki.

“Yeah, I promise you that you won’t gonna regret this!” said Megumi.

“Of course, it will, girls!” said Tatsuhisa Minato.

“It feels so good that everyone had been shining ourselves to make sure that they’ll be able to show their pride and compassion to the community. Hopefully, it will be great to witness a better future in our hands” said Junichi.

“You got that right, Junichi! The two braveheart groups will be ready to make something harmonious as they’re going to enjoy their night that they will never forget” said Kōme.

“I’m sure that the banquet will need more guests to come, but I guess that we’ll have to wait for Subaru, Kazuhiro and the boys to come with us!” said Anzu.

“Yeah!” said Megumi, Miyuki and Tatsuhisa.

“For now, let’s celebrate together!” said Junichi.

“Yeah!” said Megumi, Anzu, Kōme, Miyuki and Tatsuhisa. Tatsuhisa had finally gotten along with Miyuki to have their conversation together and they have seemed to be close of becoming acquintances with each other. Megumi and Junichi believe that the relatives of the Bravehearts of Ōta have been closed to them to make sure that they’ll be blessed and inspired to follow their examples of showing pride and compassion to the community. Whenever there are relatives out there to bless and inspire, they are ready to expect bigger things to the community going to bloom for sure. While waiting for Subaru, Kazuhiro and the boys to return to the mansion, the six will continue to make the banquet going harmonious as it would be because it’s the special night for the two braveheart groups, the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Braveheart of Fukuoka.

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 55: “The Pride and Compassionated Relatives of the Bravehearts of Ōta” [Highlight of the Fourth Anniversary of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts for the Relatives of the Members of the Bravehearts of Ōta that their Main Color is Red]

This one had been very blissful to see Megumi, Kōme, Anzu, Junichi, Tatsuhisa and Miyuki getting along with each other while witnessing the celebration of the development of the friendship between the two braveheart groups, the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. It feels great that they have been common with each other due to their relationship with Tomoka (the first five mentioned above) and Keiko (Mizuki) because they’ll always show their pride, courage and willpower to them as they’re always determined to be with them for sure! Hopefully, they will keep this up because they’re here to represent for their close friends as they will be ready to bless and inspire for everyone.:) Now, the other thing that you didn’t know is that Tatsuhisa was not only the person who got invited into the great banquet, but the other relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta were there as well!:eek: So, the reason why he came to attend the great banquet is because he was invited by Mako Yamauchi, another cousin of Tomoka, of the Ogawa-Murayama Diamonds as this was part of the plan of inviting the relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta all along!:eek: That means, the relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta will be here to attend this big event, which is why I named the title of this side story arc, “Passioned Relatives at the Fuchsia and Celadon Week Arc”, because they have appeared in the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week and that’s why they will be here for the next update!:D The next update will not only be the main highlight of the Passioned Relatives at the Fuchsia and Celadon Week Arc, but it will be for the celebration of the fourth anniversary of my entry to the Anime-Sharing Forum!;) It feels great that I have stayed at the Anime-Sharing Forum community for four years and I know that you’re all excited about this!:D The next update will be featuring all relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta that have appeared in the previous updates where they will be getting with each other as they will also celebrate the great banquet because they have been recognized as closest friends to the Bravehearts of Ōta.

Last July 9 (Friday) was the fourth anniversary of my entrance to Anime-Sharing Forum, which dated back in 2017. I was so confident that I want to be there to post new updates of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts because this series had been for a long time starting with only just the characters of Ro-Kyu-Bu! and Angel’s 3Piece! and now, different anime releases being added including the inclusion of Love Live! School Idol Project series, BanG Dream! and THE IDOLM@STER series. It’s been a while I have been in this forum for four years and I was able to commit myself in being part of that community. I believe that I want to keep this up, even I have been struggled a few times when there are issues such as Internet connection and personal reasons. Of course, I’m always ready to make this celebration going to be more harmonized just like how it did in the first three years. So, hopefully, you’ll be involved to celebrate with me as it’s time to for me to elevate into the next level and shine!:) By the way, that’s not all that you want to be part of it, but it’s almost time for the fourth anniversary of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts, which will be five days from now on July 16 (Friday). I hope that you’re all prepared and so, get ready to see something blooming and gleaming for sure!;) Now, before you’ll read this update, this one will be dedicated to four voice actors: Kiyoko Yasuno, Yuka Iguchi, Risa Taneda and Yoshino Nanjō. Kiyoko’s birthday was last July 9 (Friday), Yuka’s birthday is today (July 11) while both Risa and Yoshino’s birthdays will be tomorrow (July 12). Born in Wakuya, Miyagi, a compassionated and beautiful Kiyono is a singer and voice actress as she is famously voicing for Megumi Katō (Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend?) and Kaname Buccaneer (Macross Delta, also part of the musical unit Walküre). Aside from Megumi and Kaname, she had also voiced different characters such as Natsuki Kimura (THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls), Monika (Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!), Mutsu Amatani (Are You Lost?), Tina Kobayakawa (Wake Up, Girls!, due to her being born in Miyagi), Nana (Death Match to the Parallel World Rhapsody) and Rasuna Sumita (Kakushigoto). Coming out from Tokyo, an energetic and enthusiastic Yuka Iguchi is the voice actress of Maho Misawa (Ro-Kyu-Bu!), Yuzuha Aigae (Angel’s 3Piece!) and Index (A Certain Magical Index). Don’t forget that Yuka is a singer as well!:) Risa, who was also a Tokyo native, is an ambivalent and wisdom-minded voice actress and she had been voicing various characters such as Masami Fujii (Ro-Kyu-Bu!), Xenovia Quarta (High School DxD), Yukina Himeragi (Strike the Blood), Ai Mizuno (ZOMBIE LAND SAGA, representing FranChouChou), Rize Tedeza (Is the Order a Rabbit?). Kotoha Tanaka (THE IDOLM@STER Million Live!) and Yui (Princess Connect! Re:Dive). And last but not the least, hailing from Yaizu, Shizuoka, a delighted and cheerful Yoshino is one of the members of µ’s and had been successful in both voice acting and music careers. She is the voice actress of Eli Ayase (Love Live!, representing µ’s and BiBi), Shirabe Tsukuyumi (Symphogear), Maeve Hoshisato (Hatena Illusion), Yui Saitō (And you thought there is never a girl online?), Kokoro Akechi (Tantei Opera Milky Holmes) and Maaya Awatsuki (A Certain Scientific Railgun). She is also one half of the Japanese pop and trance group, fripSide, alongside Satoshi Yaginuma where she is the duo’s lead singer. Hopefully, they will continue making progress of their voice acting careers, especially to Kiyoko, Yuka and Yoshino as they have been good singers after all!;) Belated happy birthday, Kiyoko, and happy birthday, Yuka, Risa and Yoshino!:) Now that you’re all prepared for today’s update, which is also the first highlight of the fourth anniversary of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts, then let’s get into it as this will be focused on not only the relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta, but witnessing the return of Mako Yamauchi, the cousin of Tomoka Minato, and the debut of the cousin of Subaru Hasegawa in Yūjirō Hasegawa!:)

In the Passioned Relatives at the Fuchsia and Celadon Week Arc, I have introduced a lot of new characters that are composed of the relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta with 10 of 13 chapters (excluding those that aren’t related to that arc) have focused on them. And now, today’s update is going to be very interesting and very special to all as this will mark the return of Mako Yamauchi, a member of the Ogawa-Maruyama Diamonds and the cousin of Tomoka Minato, and the debuts of Yūjirō Hasegawa, the cousin of Subaru Hasegawa, the leader of the Bravehearts of Ōta, and Nana Kakimoto, the cousin of Kira, a member of the Innocent Charm, and Kazuko Kakimoto, a member of the Bravehearts of Ōta. Of course, Yūjirō is also the leader of his own group known as the Ōta Red Section. If you remember in the previous update, Red Section-Red Chapter 54: “The Reds and Pinks Bloom Together for One Big Night!”, it was revealed that Mako had invited the relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta that their main color is red to the Fuchsia and Celadon Week, which means that all relatives including those that their main color is red have been appeared in that festival from the start until tomorrow, which will be its final day!:eek: So, in today’s update, you’re gonna see the relatives getting along with each other and there will be a lot of surprises that you're all about to see when they will talk with each other about how they have been doing earlier. Get ready to see all of those including some blissful moments to remember with them because here comes the 55th side chapter of the Red Section Series with the title, “The Pride and Compassionated Relatives of the Bravehearts of Ōta”! Enjoy reading the 55th side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 55: “THE PRIDE AND COMPASSIONATED RELATIVES OF THE BRAVEHEARTS OF ŌTA

Date: May 7, 2010 (Friday)

This side chapter is focused on the relatives of the Bravehearts of Ōta that their main color is red as they are sharing their moments during the great banquet for the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. They were all part of a big group known as the Ōta Red Section, led by Yūjirō Hasegawa, the cousin of Subaru Hasegawa, the leader of the Bravehearts of Ōta.

The great banquet continues to bring harmonious joys and blissful moments, but there are more surprises to come. The relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta that their main color is red are having fun to share their moments about what happened earlier when they take their first look at the Fuchsia and Celadon Week.

Azusa Kawase, Hideko Misawa, Ryōsuke Sugimura, Yuzu Hirokawa, Seijirō Hakamada, Hitomi Hakamada, Kuni Hakamada, Motohisa Nishimoto, Manatsu Nishimoto and Kōichirō Tsujimoto are sitting together at their own table while they would be joined by Tomoya Shimamoto and the cousins of Mimi from Fukuoka, composed of Reina Ōgami, Ritsuo Ōgami, Haruka Yara, Yoshimasa Yara, Kiyohiro Ashikaga, Natsuhisa Ashikaga, Yuika Takada, Anju Takada and Runo Kawahara.

“I’m getting excited with this, guys! The leader of the Ōta Red Section will be here in a moment!” said Azusa.

“Yep! I’m sure that you all guys are ready to see him because he’s going to be more of a special guest for tonight” said Hideko.

“It will be more exciting and more blooming, I tell you!” said Ryōsuke.

“Yeah!” said the relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta that their main color is red and the cousins of Mimi from Fukuoka.

“It’s so great that we were all invited by Keiko because she was able to invite us just to witness the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka getting better and better” said Yuzu.

“That’s right! Keiko had been a great job in organizing this activity with the help of her friends” said Ritsuo Ōgami, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Kashii Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. He’s also the younger brother of Reina Ōgami, a relative of Mimi Balguerie.

“She said that it’s a sign of continuous partnership between two braveheart groups and it would be awesome to celebrate this altogether” said Natsuhisa.

“Yep! I agree with that! The big thing about this is that Tomoka and Keiko have known with each other since they have the same potential with their skills and techniques are much higher compared to the other girls that are good in those” said Seijirō.

“That’s why they have high hopes in making it to the top if they’ll keep this us” said Hitomi.

“And hopefully, they’ll be able to shine for more to get earned to live up in their dreams” said Kuni.

“Ah, yes. I remember that when Keiko was interviewed last year about the success in her team” said Ritsuo.

“Hey, same thing for me, Ritsuo. She’s so great that she had been shining her career all day” said Natsuhisa.

“Of course, she was, Natsuhisa-san! She believes that she had a perfect opportunity to represent for her hometown and she is very confident that she will be a superstar one day” said Reina.

“I’m sure that she alongside the other girls will make the difference this year because they are now in middle school and they will do whatever it takes to shine for sure” said Kiyohiro.

“Yeah!” said Ritsuo, Natsuhisa, Haruka, Yoshimasa, Yuika, Anju and Runo.

“I agree with your statement, Seijirō-san. Tomoka had been dazzling with her moves because not only she was taught by Subaru” said Motohisa.

“But she was able to change the game of basketball with her terrific shots going in” said Manatsu.

“Whenever I saw her in the court, she was so amazing that she had performed a lot of moves to make sure that she can stand anything against her opponents. That’s why she’s always on the top, despite she was just young” said Kōichirō.

“Yeah, that’s true, Kōichirō-san. My cousin was very determined to make her career something special for her and because of that, she believes that one day, she will be step up and elevate when she will be representing her school at the middle school prefectural basketball tournament” said Azusa.

“It will be so nice that she will do anything to make her career getting brighter just like the other girls, but honest, Tomoka is very special for me” said Hideko.

“Everyone knows that she is the dearest for the Keishin Academy Elementary School girls’ basketball team when that team was formed last year and it would have been awesome if she had done something big in the tournament” said Ryōsuke.

“Exactly! I believe that Tomoka will be ready to show her moment when she’s going to transition it to middle school because not only that she’s a great shooter, but she can do anything to make her teammates contribute” said Yuzu.

“Yes, she can, Yuzu-san. I watched her during the Fuchsia and Celadon Dragons Tournament last week and she had been doing great to perform like that. So, I tell you, she’s aiming to be a superstar one day!” said Seijirō.

“Yeah! Not only for that, she had improved her shooting tendency in different areas due to her unique acceleration that can have a chance to easily make shots” said Hitomi.

“She will make sure that she can do anything to score a lot as soon as she can shine for her team” said Kuni.

“Yeah, we agree, guys!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta that their main color is red.

“Hopefully, we will keep watching out for her because one day, she’ll be more phenomenal just like how Subaru did in his days in middle school” said Seijirō.

“Yeah!” saidt he relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta that their main color is red while the cousins of Mimi from Fukuoka nod their heads in agreement to agree with Seijirō.

Suddenly, a male voice comes out from the entrance, which makes everyone trigger something big who will be the guest for tonight’s banquet. “Hey, guys!”

Yūjirō Hasegawa, the cousin of Subaru Hasegawa would appear to attend the great banquet while being joined by Mako Yamauchi, the cousin of Tomoka Minato and a member of the Ogawa-Maruyama Diamonds, Tomoya Shimamoto, the cousin of Mika Shimamoto, and Nana Kakimoto, the cousin of Kira and Kazuko Kakimoto.

“Thank goodness! Yūjirō-sama is here!” said Azusa.

“The leader of the Ōta Red Section is in the house!” said Hideko.

“Yep! He comes out without losing his cool” said Seijirō.

“That’s right, Seijirō-kun! Sorry to keep you waiting!” said Yūjirō Hasegawa, a third year high school student from the Nashiba High School and the cousin of Subaru Hasegawa. He’s also the leader of the Ōta Red Section.

“We were just entered the mansion before I didn’t find out that there are a lot of people staying in the hallway because there’s something big in the hall” said Nana Kakimoto, a third year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and the cousin of Kazuko Kakimoto.

“Which is why we decided to enter the hall and I can’t believe there’s a grand party out there!” said Tomoya.

“So that, you’re all here to have a great night with each other!” said Mako.

“Yep! We are here to celebrate the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka” said Seijirō.

“Everyone is here because they said to be a special night for both groups and you all know that everyone will be ready to get along with each other with thrills, moments and smiles galore” said Hitomi.

“Hopefully, you’ll be delighted to celebrate with us because Tomoka and her friends have been very confident about how their friendship with the Bravehearts of Fukuoka so special” said Kuni.

“Yeah!” said Tomoya, Yūjirō, Nana and Mako.

“It’s so fantastic to make this night very special because we should share about your moments on celebrating the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Yūjirō.

“Yeah, we should!” said the relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta that their main color is red and the cousins of Mimi from Fukuoka.

“That’s why for tonight, it’s time to make our pride and compassion grow to represent ourselves as we’re very passionate for our relatives of the Bravehearts of Ōta!” said Nana Kakimoto.

“Yeah!” said the relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta that their main color is red and the cousins of Mimi from Fukuoka.

“Please take your seats, so that we will start this conversation together!” said Seijirō.

“That way, we will be compassionate to remember this moment for sure!” said Azusa.

“Okay!” said Tomoya, Yūjirō, Nana and Mako as they take their seats to be with the relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta. Even though Tomoya is not related to the relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta, he is still part of the Ōta Red Section.

“Now, let’s get this show on the road, Tomoya-san!” said Mako.

“You got it, Mako-san!” said Tomoya before asking everyone on who will go first. “Now, who goes first?”

Azusa would go first because she’s always first as in taking the lead just like how Tomoka did. “I’ll go first, Tomoya-san!”

“Okay, that’s a good idea, Azusa-san! You go first!” said Tomoya.

“Sure, I would be glad to!” said Azusa while giving Tomoya a smile as she will go first to share about her moment at the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. “For me, me and my friends have met Tomoka at the entrance of the mansion, but she said that she was so busy with her duties at one of the activities taken place in the hall of the mansion. However, Tomoka was able to let one of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta in Toshiko Horikawa, who was so compassoinate and admired to make the guests feel motivated. I’m very delighted that she’s with me and my friends because I like her personality of being expressive to everyone and if you meet her for yourself, she will give you a smile for sure! That’s why I’m very happy to have a good friend in her and hopefully, I’ll meet her again for sure!”

“Ah, that’s a good one to share, Azusa-san!” said Yūjirō.

“I’m glad that you have met your cousin!” said Tomoya.

“Yep! But unfortunately, she was busy at that time, but I was able to meet her again earlier when I was entering the hall earlier” said Azusa.

The flashback shows with Azusa was greeted by Tomoka at the entrance of the hall.

“Hi, Tomoka-san!” said Azusa.

“Oh, it’s you, Azusa-san! I’m glad that you’re here for the banquet!” said Tomoka.

“Yep! While I’m waiting for the relatives of your friends to arrive, I forgot to tell you that you had an amazing friendship with your friend from Fukuoka” said Azusa.

“You mean, Keiko-san?” asked Tomoka before quickly answers her question. “Ah, yes, of course! Keiko is a good friend of mine and she’s a great player like me!”

“That’s very nice, Tomoka-san! I hope that you will be able to keep your friendship up because she’s a skilled player just like you!” said Azusa.

“Yeah! She’s not only a member of the Kashii Gakuen Middle School girls’ basketball team, but also the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. Isn’t that awesome?” said Tomoka.

“Ah, yeah! I know that you had the same level as her, cousin! It was so great that she was there to be with you just to celebrate your friendship” said Azusa.

“Yeah, I agree! Anyway, I hope that you make yourself comfortable by attending our banquet, Azusa-san. Are you gonna enter to the hall yet?” said Tomoka.

“Not yet, but they’re about to come real soon” said Azusa.

“Oh, good! Then, make yourself comfortable with your friends while attending the banquet” said Tomoka.

“Okay!” said Azusa.

Tomoka would enter to the hall to check around the guests that have attended the great banquet. “I’ll be busy for a while until we’re gonna have a chance to talk with you again.”

“Sure, I will!” said Azusa before the flashback ends as the scene changes to Azusa saying to the members of the Ōta Red Section and the cousins of Mimi from Fukuoka. “She will be here to be with me again if she had some time to anything for a talk, but I’m so excited about this because she will be introducing me to Keiko later on.”

“Oh, good for you, Azusa-san! I hope that you will become friends her!” said Nana Kakimoto.

“She’s very humble and compassionate just like Tomoka and she’s very optimistic to make friends with everyone” said Ritsuo.

“Hopefully, we will have so much fun things to do while Keiko is around with us” said Natsuisa.

“Yeah!” said Azusa.

“Toshiko talked to me earlier about her meeting with you, Azusa-san. She said that you have been excited about meeting with Tomoka, but it didn’t though” said Mako.

“Well, honestly, I want to meet her because I’m very confident that I want to get along with her. That way, we can have some great time to enjoy!” said Azusa.

“Ah, I see. Then, I’m going to ask my cousin about this” said Mako.

“Sure! I know that we have been in common with each other, but I hope that she’ll be ready to see me again” said Azusa.

“Okay, then. We can meet her later on if we have some time to interact with the other guests” said Mako.

“Yeah, you got it, Mako-san!” said Azusa.

“Now, who will go next, Azusa-san?” asked Tomoya.

“I think that I’ll go with Hideko-san” said Azusa.

“Okay, then. It’s your turn to share, Hideko-san” said Tomoya.

“Sure thing!” said Hideko as she’s the next person to share about her moment in the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. “Earlier, I was with my friends to meet with my cousin Maho-san and we have so much to do anything at the central park, especially when we were playing together in the arcade booth. It was so awesome to get prizes out there and I would be able to use those for my collection.”

“Wow! You have a lot of toys out there?!” shouted Reina.

“Yeah! I was able to get those if I win at the arcade booth and I don’t want to disappoint myself because I’m always here to pump out like my cousin used to” said Hideko.

“Ah, I see! I like that, Hideko-san! That was really nice!” said Reina.

“Thanks!” said Hideko.

“I’m sure that you’re the luckiest girl when it comes to getting prizes and I would like to say that your stuff is more like a gem or a charm. That will give you some good luck” said Haruka Yara.

“Of course, I am! I will be more confident to get luckier because that’s what I do to make myself delighted!” said Hideko.

“Yeah, I like your enthusiasm!” said Haruka Yara.

“That would make us feel happy with your personality” said Reina.

“Yeah, I agree, girls!” said Hideko.

“I’m glad that you have done something big at the central park, Hideko-san, because you were able to make your cousin Maho feel motivated when you get along with her. That’s very nice!” said Yūjirō.

“Thanks, Yūjirō-sama! I’m sure that everyone will see me motivated every time I met with them and I hope that I will give a smile in return” said Hideko.

“Yeah, you better keep that cool, girl! I’m very motivated with that because you are part of us” said Nana Kakimoto.

“Sure, I will!” said Hideko.

“I’m glad that you had a wonderful day to groove yourself, Hideko-san!” said Mako.

“Yep! I always want to be cheerful like my cousin because that’s what I do to smile!” said Hideko.

“That’s good! I hope that you can keep that because you’ll be very confident that you’re gonna make them feel happy and delighted for sure!” said Mako.

“Yes, I will, Mako-san!” said Hideko.

“Now, Hideko-san, who will pick someone next to share?” asked Tomoya.

“That would be Ryōsuke” said Hideko.

“Very good pick, then!” said Tomoya while giving Hideko a smile before turning to speak with Ryōsuke. “It’s your turn to shine, Ryōsuke-san!”

“Well, I’m down with that!” said Ryōsuke as he would share his moment on the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. “So, I was partipcating at the Sounds of Bravehearts with my fellow boys from the Crimson7 and I was so praised by a lot of people out there, espcially to my loyal fans out there.”

“Oh, that’s very good! I’m liking that one!” said Natsuhisa.

“You’re seemed to be rocking right now!” said Kiyohiro.

“Thanks, boys! It’s been my honor to make my fans giving some praise and this makes me so good to perform out there” said Ryōsuke.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Natsuhisa and Kiyohiro.

“One thing that I was able to shine is that we were able to make a collaboration with my cousin Saki and her friends and it was paid off!” said Ryōsuke.

“Oh, my goodness! Did you collaborate with her?!” shouted Yuika.

“Are you serious?!” exclaimed Anju.

“Yeah!” said Ryōsuke.

“Wow! That was so cool!” said Yuika.

“I never expect that you did something sparkling out there, but you’re a good singer!” said Anju.

“Thanks, girls! I’m a compassionate singer and I’m very hyped up to make my fans feel good no matter what! I’ll be delighted if I can create my own songs to compose with, although I would make cover songs to make them motivate to see me perform” said Ryōsuke.

“Ah, I see. That’s not bad at all! I’m pretty glad that you had a nice music career” said Yuika.

“Yeah! I’m not gonna lie, but your fans are looked great to follow you” said Anju.

“Hopefully, you’ll be able to get more followers if you want to perform big if you’ll have a chance to shine for more” said Yuika.

“Yeah, I hope. That’s my #1 goal as a singer even I’m still in middle school. Also, me and my friends will also perform some rap songs to hype my fans up” said Ryōsuke.

“That’s a good one, boy! I didn’t know that you had a good boy band out there and you’re one of them! That’s pretty nice!” said Yoshimasa.

“I’ll watch out for you one day because it will make you feel motivated to make your career progress” said Runo.

“Yeah, I hope so, but I’ll be ready to perform just for you at some time” said Ryōsuke.

“Yeah!” said Yoshimasa, Yuika, Anju and Runo.

“Nice one, my boy! I’m always hyped for your songs to perform and it seems that you’re looking good!” said Tomoya.

“Yeah, I’m feeling satisfied with that! Hopefully, you’ll keep up with that, Ryōsuke-san!” said Nana Kakimoto.

“You’ll get yourself earned if you’ll be able to have more followers for sure” said Yūjirō.

“You got it!” said Ryōsuke.

“I’m so surprised that you’re very good in performing songs to the crowd. I never seen that before, but I’m astonished to see that!” said Mako.

“You got that right, Mako-san! I want to make my progress in my music career because it makes feel good to make my loyal fans ready to follow and respect me. That way, I will be very optimistic to give them what they want in return like autographs and selfies” said Ryōsuke.

“You’re a one-of-a-kind singer, Ryōsuke-san. Please, keep it up, so that you’ll be able to shine your way to success!” said Mako.

“Sure, I would be glad to!” said Ryōsuke.

“Now, who will pick to go next, Ryōsuke-san?” asked Tomoya.

“I’ll take Yuzu to be the next one to share” said Ryōsuke.

“Okay!” said Tomoya while giving Ryōsuke a smile before asking Yuzu to share her own moment. “Are you ready for that?”

“Of course, I am!” said Yuzu.

“Okay, then, now share!” said Tomoya.

“Okay!” said Yuzu with a smile on her face as she will take her turn to share about her moment on the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. “My friends and I would eat some mid-afternoon snack at the Pride Burger Express where we have been craved for hamburgers and while on that, Airi and her friends were there to be with us. It was so great that I was able to be with my cousin Airi because we used to get along with each other every weekend before Airi joined the Bravehearts of Ōta. I’m very determined to be with her because it makes me so thrilled to get along with her, so that we’ll be able to have some fun.”

“Nice share, Yuzu-san! I’m glad that you had a chance to get along with your cousin since you were close with each other” said Nana Kakimoto.

“Yeah, I agree, Nana-chan! I’m very expressive to be with my cousin and I’m gonna be delighted that one day, we will be getting with each other alongside our friends, so that we’re going to make some thrills for fun! I like to do fun things and that would make us feel good to seize the day!” said Yuzu.

“Well, you’re typically motivated to see you and your cousin having a great time to enjoy with each other. I’m sure that she’ll always be there to make you happy, which is why I like people who were expressed to be compassionate” said Nana Kakimoto.

“Of course, I am. It’s so nice to have that because I’m not losing my pride and compassion for my family and relatives for sure!” said Yuzu.

“Then, good for you!” said Nana Kakimoto.

“I’m glad that you have been a great time to hang out with your cousin, Yuzu-san!” said Mako.

“Yes, I am, Mako-chan! I’m very satisfied with that because me and Airi-chan have been getting along with each other when it was not related to school and I’m so compassionated to bless her” said Yuzu.

“That’s good! I’m very happy for you to make your cousin proud! I hope that you will be getting better to show your pride and willpower for your cousin” said Mako.

“Of course, I will! Everyone can count on me for this and so, it will be fantastic to show my smile to everyone!” said Yuzu.

“Okay, then, just do whatever you want for your cousin, Yuzu-san! I’ll watching for you!” said Mako.

“Okay!” said Yuzu while giving Mako a smile on her face.

“So, Yuzu-san, who will go next?” asked Tomoya.

“It will be the Hakamadas” said Yuzu.

“Yeah! We’re ready to share something exciting to you all!” said Kuni.

“We made a lot of moments at the Fuchsia and Celadon Week and we never miss those all the time!” said Seijirō.

“So, hopefully, you’ll like this!” said Hitomi.

“Okay!” said the members of the Ōta Red Section and the cousins of Mimi from Fukuoka.

“Then, share it to us!” said Tomoya.

“Sure!” said Seijirō, Hitomi and Kuni as it’s their turn to share about their moments at the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week.

Kuni goes first to share because she’s the youngest. “For me, I was able to volunteer to welcome the guests at the booth area alongside my friends from my group, the Lucky Garnet Pink. Yasue and I were able to make the guests welcome the most because those are my classmates from our class.”

“Wow! That’s very nice! I like the way you welcomed the guests out there earlier!” said Reina.

“Yeah, you’re doing great to make themselves motivate!” said Haruka Yara.

“Thanks, girls! I’m giving them a smile if they are satisfied to get enjoyed at the booth area. Of course, they give me some compassion in return because they’re delighted to have their day more blissful” said Kuni.

“Ah, that’s good! I like that!” said Reina.

“I’m sure that you’ll be able to keep this up for tomorrow because there will be a lot of guests out there for the last day of the festivity!” said Haruka Yara.

“You got it!” said Kuni.

Hitomi is the next person to share about a moment at the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. “I had invited my classmates to have a chance to celebrate with me and Azumi because they found the festival fascinated, which is why they want to have that opportunity to witness the beginning of the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon, which is why I’m so happy to see them celebrate before my very eyes and I also like their smiles too.”

“That’s a nice one! I’m so glad that your classmates have been excited to celebrate the fesitval, which they like it!” said Yuiko.

“I’m feeling good about your classmates out there! They’re pretty pumped up to make sure that they will not forget that moment out there!” said Anju.

“Yeah! You made them feel good that they want to celebrate that festival to make sure that they’ll get earned of sure” said Runo.

“Thanks, guys!” said Hitomi.

And last but not the least, Seijirō would take his turn to share about his moment at the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. “I had watched the games of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup at the Recreational Center with my fellow friends and teammates from my varsity team. We cheered for the Blue Verdant Fukuoka, which they have Kazuhiro Hatakenaka on the team. It was so nice that we have to cheer for the guy that became friends with Subaru for a long time.”

“Oh, I see that we have found some supporters out there!” said Ritsuo.

“Which makes me feel good to see you doing it for our leader” said Natsuhisa.

“Yep! I know that my friend Subaru had been close friends with Kazuhiro and because not only that they have the same level with each other, but they were quickly good enough to represent their teams through heart and soul” said Seijirō.

“Yeah, we agree with that!” said Ritsuo and Natsuhisa.

“They’re both greats because of their potential getting big, but they haven’t faced each other yet though” said Ritsuo.

“Hopefully, they’ll have their chance to face each other this year because it will make bigger expectations for both teams to make it to the top as soon as they’ll have to dominate the prefectual tournaments first” said Natsuhisa.

“Yeah, I hope so, boys, I hope so” said Seijirō.

“You three have been able to contribute for the Fuchsia and Celadon Week, which means that you have been blessed and inspired to make the guests proud” said Mako.

“Yes, we are!” said Kuni, Hitomi and Seijirō.

“It feels great to represent for the Hakamadas like we used to every time” said Kuni.

“We’re always coming out to show our innocence and prestigiousness to make sure that we’re going to make them feel comfortable” said Hitomi.

“Hopefully, by the end of the day, they’ll know that they’ll be here to inspire us for sure!” said Seijirō.

“I agree with your strong words, guys! Just keep it up and keep everyone including us proud!” said Mako.

“Yes, we will!” said Kuni, Hitomi and Seijirō.

“I’m so fascinated to see your moments getting bloomer than I expected!” said Tomoya.

“Yeah, I like that too, Tomoya-san! I’m very impressed of what they have shared for us. I hope that it’s going to be even better once tomorrow will cap off the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Nana Kakimoto.

“Yeah, of course, we will!” said Kuni, Hitomi and Seijirō.

“Hopefully, it will be awesome that we will witness that together because we’re the Ōta Red Section. Right, guys?” said Yūjirō.

“Yes, we agree, Yūjirō-sama!” said the relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta.

“Now, who goes next to share?” asked Tomoya.

“We’ll take that, Tomoya-san!” said Motohisa and Manatsu as they shout together in unison.

“Good thing that you two will be here to share” said Tomoya.

“I hope that you will share something that will make us detemined and motivated” said Nana Kakimoto.

“Sure, we have!” said Motohisa and Manatsu.

“Okay, then, share your moments!” said Tomoya and Nana.

“Okay, we will!” said Manatsu and Motohisa as they will take their turn to share about their moments at the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week.

Manatsu will go first before she’s older than her brother Motohisa. “We have been assigned to inspect the people who have entered to the main lobby of the main hotel and nothing seemed to be suspicious at the start with at least we found an area that is dirty, which we cleaned that up.”

“But just then, a found some guys arguing at the entrance where we decided to take action on that and we believed that one of them was chased by a group of bullies from the Dark Eclipse, but ended up bumped onto another guy. After they addressed the situation, we decided to fix that quickly” said Motohisa.

“Of course, we were relieved when Tsutomu said that the members of the Dark Eclipse have been caught red-handed, thus they have to pay the price for what they have done with” said Manatsu.

“Yeah! No one will see those guys again because they shouldn’t allow berate or bully everyone!” said Motohisa.

“That was a bizarre one, guys” said Reina.

“Yeah, those guys will never bully anyone again after what happened earlier” said Yoshimasa.

“They should have been ashamed of themselves for what they have done to the victims” said Haruka Hara.

“They have found no respect on the victims’ names, which they make them feel bad or worse” said Kiyohiro.

“Yeah, we agree” said Motohisa and Manatsu.

“Well, that’s a nice share that you have, guys, but I have to tell you that it’s true that mistakes have been made” said Tomoya.

“And we will never ever gonna see those nasty incidents in the festival again because they find those disrespectful” said Nana Kakimoto.

“So, hopefully, we will to make peace in the Misawa Resort Hotel and nobody will destroy the beginning of the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon” said Yūjirō.

“Yeah, we hope so, guys” said Motohisa and Manatsu.

“But anyway, if you have found something suspicious, then call us to make things straight” said Yūjirō.

“Sure, we will, Yūjirō-san!” said Motohisa and Manatsu.

“I’m so surprised that you have stopped those meanies out there trying to disrupt the festival, you two. I’m very confident that you want to save the day for yourselves” said Mako.

“Well, it was nothing, but we want to take care of anything. That would be make us fearless, I tell you!” said Motohisa.

“No matter what will happen next, we will settle through our ways to avert the chaos for sure!” said Manatsu.

“Those words are making me feel like getting relieve to have goosebumps for myself, but I believe that you’re going to do anything to save the day. That way, there’s no way the enemies will prevail with their own expression” said Mako.

“Of course, we are!” said Motohsa and Manatsu.

“Hopefully, we’ll be very courageous if we can do it for the Takenakas” said Motohisa.

“That’s why we’re going to keep representing for them, so that we’ll break anything as it gets!” said Manatsu.

“That’s good, guys! I’ll watch out for that!” said Mako.

“Sure, we would be glad to!” said Motohsa and Manatsu.

“So, it’s down to the last three, which will be Kōichirō, Nana and Yūjirō. Now, pick any of those three, Motohisa-san and Manatsu-san” said Tomoya.

“I believe that Kōichirō will go next because he’s gonna share something that is very interesting” said Motohisa.

“Yeah, he had met someone from Fukuoka” said Manatsu.

“Oh, I see! Well, then, take it away, Kōichirō-san!” said Tomoya.

“You got it!” said Kōichirō as this is his turn to share his moment about his moment at the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. “While I was having a dinner with my cousin Masami, I had met a girl from Fukuoka by the name of Yuno Furukawa.”

“Oh, wow! You got to be kidding me!” said Yuika.

“I never seen that girl before, but that name was very interesting” said Anju.

“You met that girl?!” shouted Runo. Kōichirō nods his head in agreement, which makes Runo suspiously observes him by asking him another question. “How did you know that girl?”

“Well, I glad that you ask” said Kōichirō while giving Runo a “ok” hand signal as he’s going to explain who Yuno Furukawa is. “Yuno is the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Sawara and a first year middle school student from the Umehama Gakuen Middle School. She had been known as the Dazzling Peach of Sawara for her serene and expressive personality because she’s very serious to show her determination. Recently, she took part of the girls’ basketball team of that school because she wanted to stay loyal to the school that she studied ever since her first grade and she had liked the environment, which she said that the students from that school are very friendly.”

“Ah, I see! That girl is seemed to be very calm and humble when she had met you” said Yuika.

“With her beautiful voice…” said Anju.

“… and her smile, I guess” said Runo.

“Yep!” said Kōichirō.

“Interesting. I never expect that this girl was special just like our very own Keiko” said Ritsuo.

“Yeah, unlike Keiko, Yuno is very different because she can read the minds of her opponents when she’s observing her opponents as she has the most IQs that she collected throughout her entire career” said Natsuhisa.

“I say that this girl had shown her compassion when she met with the other leading girls in Fukuoka how she did right now” said Reina.

“I’m sure that Yuno is always gentle while you saw her the first time” said Kiyohiro.

“Yes, she is, guys” said Kōichirō.

“So, let me get this straight. This girl that you met is living in the same hometown as us?” queried Yoshimasa.

“Yep!” said Kōichirō while nodding his head in agreement.

“Then, how did met her?” asked Haruka Yara.

“Well, you see, when me, Masami and my friends out there have talked in a conversation about what’s happening in the Ōta Blue Wind Cup, she came to interrupt our conversation quickly, which, she had known as lot of things about Kazuhiro and the other four that would be known as the Royal Flush of Fukuoka, a group of five high schoolers who have changed the game of basketball through their own style of plays” said Kōichirō.

“Oh, I understand now. She should have known all things about that group” said Haruka.

“That sounds like she’s more intelligent than Keiko-san” said Yoshimasa.

Ritsuo shoves Yoshimasa with the elbow while quickly responding him, “That’s not right!”

“Ow! That hurts, Ritsuo-san!” said Yoshimasa.

“Keiko-san had also known about the Royal Flush of Fukuoka, which she recogned them all along” said Ritsuo.

“WHAT?!” surprisingly shouted Mako and the members of the Ōta Red Section.

“No way!” quickly replied Tomoya.

“She knows all of that!?” exclaimed Nana Kakimoto.

“You’re kidding!” said Yūjirō.

“Are you serious?!” shouted Mako.

“Yep! Keiko, alongside Yuno, Satomi Akimoto (Hakata), Sumiko Miyasaka (Nishi) and Maiko Takayama (Minami), had known about the Royal Flush of Fukuoka ever since the five great guys have known with each other for a long time” said Ritsuo.

“When they were little, they have just played with each other in a street court before rising up the ranks as the five became basketball players at the same time” said Natsuhisa.

“Oh, I get it now” said Azusa.

“Okay” said Hideko.

“Sounds like a conection to me” said Ryōsuke.

“Yeah, I agree with that” said Yuzu.

“Me too!” said Kuni.

“Those five are really strong!” said Hitomi.

“And they have their brighter future for sure!” said Seijirō.

“Yes, they are!” said the cousins of Mimi from Fukuoka.

“Oh, that’s very nice!” said Motohisa.

“I guess that they have been in common since they were playing against each other for a long time” said Manatsu.

“I’m surprised with that, but they’re seemed to be aiming themselves of going to the top for sure” said Kōichirō.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the cousins of Mimi from Fukuoka.

“I understand about that secret, but it looked like they’re more talented than I just expected” said Tomoya.

“They have the heart and soul to represent themselves because they’re ready to get in action and shine their way” said Nana Kakimoto.

“I believe that they will be ready to get pro if they will get worthy to get scouted by a lot of trainers” said Yūjirō.

“All they have to do is to develop until they’re all set to take into the next level, whch means we will see a lot of new stars coming out to shine in the future. Don’t you agree?” said Mako.

“Yeah!” said said the cousins of Mimi from Fukuoka.

“That’s why everyone in Fukuoka said that those five are the young gems to become the future faces of Fukuoka basketball” said Ritsuo.

“So, you have to make some respect on them because they’ll do whatever it takes to show their pride for our hometown” said Natsuhisa.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Mako and the members of the Ōta Red Section.

“Well, that sharing was so surprised to me, Kōichirō-san! I never expect that you have met a girl that had a lot of information that she had, but that moment was so good!” said Tomoya.

“It makes me so shocked that you shared about her, which means that I’m thrilled with that!” said Nana Kakimoto.

“Yeah, I’m sure that you’ll be happy that you have met someone’s special and I hope that you’re gonna remember that when you’re going to meet her again” said Yūjirō.

“She’s with the other leading girls, so you can talk to her whatever you want later” said Azusa.

“Sure, I will, guys!” said Kōichirō.

“I’m glad that you had met that girl because in my opinion, she’s more serene, compared to the other girls in Fukuoka” said Mako.

“Yes, she is, Mako-san. If anyone is more ambivalent to show his or her smile, it has to be Yuno. I respect Yuno because she’s so cute and admired and I say that she will be ready to make her smile more important not only for her friends from her braveheart group, but to anyone on her side” said Kōichirō.

“I believe so, Kōichirō-san. Hopefully, you’ll be more comfortable to meet more people from far away cities, so that you’re gonna make them acquaintances” said Mako.

“Okay, I will do that!” said Kōichirō.

“Alright, we’re down to the last two!” said Hideko.

“It’s time to pick either Nana or Yūjirō, Kōichirō-san!” said Ryōsuke.

“Yeah! Who would you choose?” said Yuzu.

“Well, I’m going with Nana because she’s so cute” said Kōichirō.

“Eh?!” shouted Azusa, Hideko, Yuzu, Kuni, Hitomi, Reina, Haruka, Yuika, Anju and Runo while the boys gasped in surprise.

“Well, it’s okay to say that, Kōichirō-san. I’m going to share my moment right now” said Nana Kakimoto.

“Okay, sure!” said Kōichirō.

“Now, share us about your moment, Nana-chan!” said Yuzu.

“You got it!” said Nana Kakimoto before she’ll share about her moment at the penultimate day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. “I was with my fellow friends from the student council when we have stayed at the booth area to take a look at our booth known as the Shiny Rubelite Corner. We have a lot of guests buying some gemstones that are quite cheap than you expected and then, one person named Ichiko Kawauchi had bought a beautiful ruby necklace because she found it beautiful. Ichiko had been interested in ruby, which is her birthstone, and I like the way she talked and smiled because she had been considered beautiful, being one of the beauties in our class.”

“Wow! I never seen that girl before!” said Azusa.

“Yeah, Azusa-san. She must be a top student if you know what I mean” said Hideko.

“She may be cute, but she is determined to make everyone happy” said Ryōsuke.

“That girl had been recognized by everyone on her side because she can do anything that she wants” said Mako.

“Yes, she is” said Nana Kakimoto while smiling on her face.

“So, how’s your booth right now?” asked Yuzu.

“It looked good with about 30 guests visited our booth per day” said Nana Kakimoto.

“Ah, okay! I’m sure that you have a lot of expenses when your customers bought your products” said Yuzu.

“Yeah, I agree, Yuzu-san. We’re gonna open our booth one more time, but hopefully, it will be more of a rush because tomorrow will be the last day and I believe that there will be a lot of people going to buy some jewelries and necklaces. Even the pendants that we have sold out too quickly” said Nana Kakimoto.

“Intertesting. I hope that you’ll have a lot of money for the profit for sure” said Yuzu.

“Yes, of course!” said Nana Kakimoto.

“You know, Nana-san, I think that you can have make tomorrow a discount day, so that the prizes of your products will be cheaper” said Azusa.

“Yeah, that way, the customers will have to pay less if they want to buy those” said Hideko.

“Sure, I would be glad to, girls!” said Nana Kakimoto.

“Alright!” said Azusa and Hideko.

“That sounds good! I will buy one of the products tomorrow. The pendant would be nice to get!” said Azusa.

“I’ll take the ruby bracelet because I find it hot” said Hideko.

“Well, you’re excited for tomorrow, girls! Nana-chan will make sure that you’ll get what you want because discounts will be coming their way” said Yuzu.

“That’s right, Yuzu-san! It will be honor to buy those in a cheaper prize, so that you don’t have to worry about those being expensive anymorez” said Nana Kakimoto.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Azusa and Hideko.

“I like your story about your booth getting a lot of customers, which I might be surprised if you have a lot of fans in your booth” said Ryōsuke.

“The booths will have profit every day when you have attracted the guests to get what they want. Hopefully, you’ll be able to get a lot of money to use for any purposes that you need for one” said Tomoya.

“Well, I can use that for the student council’s logistics committee, which I came from that, and so, we should get at least 25,000 yen by the end of tomorrow, so that we can wrap up with least 500,000 yen that we have from our first day” said Nana Kakimoto.

“That’s very expensive, but that’s pretty nice!” said Tomoya.

“I hope that you will keep this up!” said Ryōsuke.

“You got it!” said Nana Kakimoto.

“I will be happy to see your booth tomorrow because I will be on the watch list to keep an eye on the guests at the Central Park tomorrow” said Mako.

“Oh, that’s good! You can visit my booth any time that you want!” said Nana Kakimoto.

“You got it, Nana-san!” said Mako.

“So, it’s down just one person remaining to share a moment” said Kuni.

“That’s right, onēchan! That means, it’s going to be our leader’s turn to share!” said Hitomi.

“Yūjirō-sama, it’s your turn to take your share!” said Seijirō.

“Yep! I’ll be the last one to share because I always to share last if I would” said Yūjirō.

“Well, you probably get saved for last, but I hope that you’re ready for your share” said Motohisa.

“It will be fantastic to see what you have done earlier” said Manatsu.

“That way, we’ll be able to inspire you for sure!” said Kōichirō.

“Yeah, I agree with you, guys!” said Yūjirō.

“So, what will you share about?” asked Ritsuo.

“I had a boys’ all out activity with my friends at the beachfront where we played some volleyball and we also have met some guests from different cities in Kyushu” said Yūjirō.

“Oh, I see!” said Ritsuo.

“You seem to have acquaintances, boy!” said Natsuhisa.

“Yep! Our boys have been able to make friends with those who haven’t been familiar before and that’s why it was so great that we have played volleyball with them. I like the way they performed when they’re making the moves, which they’re looked like professional players to me” said Yūjirō.

“That’s very nice!” said Ritsuo.

“I like that!” said Natsuhisa.

“Thanks, boys!” said Yūjirō.

“So, who do you recognize when you played volleyball with them?” asked Kōichirō.

Yūjirō would explain about the guys that he recognized when playing volleyball with his friends. “They were Tomokazu Nakamoto, Toshiaki Nizato and Masahiro Osugi from Saga and Tashiaki Maeno, Yoshitaka Miyagawa and Junichi Sawamatsu from Nagasaki. They’re very good in playing volleyball, especially for Masahiro, who is a good spiker, and Tashiaki, who is a good libero. They have some great skills and have potential too. They were acing their plays like they’re about to get into the pros.”

“Oh, wow! Those guys are tough!” said Kōichirō.

“They can do anything to score like they’re about grab their power” said Motohisa.

“I say that they’re looking good to show how it’s done in volleyball. They’re showing their prowess and strength, I tell you!” said Manatsu.

“Yeah, I agree, guys! I like them because they’re very relentess to play with their skills and they even looked formidable like it’s nothing to lose” said Yūjirō.

“You can say that again, Yūjirō-san, because those volleyball athletes in Kyushu are the strongest so far” said Reina.

“Especially, those in Kagoshima and Naha, which they produced some young gems that they used to get trained by volleyball trainers before entering to their varsity teams” said Kiyohiro.

“Other big cities such as Hiroshima, Kobe and Osaka have also produced prdocutive volleyball athletes based on what they need to make themselves stronger” said Haruka Yara.

“Likewise, volleyball is a popular sport in our country alongside baseball, soccer, basketball and swimming” said Yoshimasa.

“Which means that they will be good enough to shine because that’s their goal to make themselves to the next level” said Runo.

“Of course, you’re gonna see some action in volleyball once they’re in the court to step up” said Yuika.

“So that, they’ll be ready to play hard” said Anju.

“Yeah, I agree with that, guys!” said Yūjirō.

“One more thing to ask you, Yūjirō-san. Are you good in volleyball?” asked Seijirō.

“Uh, nope. I’m not a volleyball player” said Yūjirō.

“Aw, that’s a shame” said Seijirō.

“I thought that you’re good” said Hitomi.

“Since you have played with them” said Kuni.

“Well, I have played volleyball, basketball and soccer and even individual sports like badminton and table tennis. I’m feeling good that I have played those because it makes me feel motivated to get sporty all the way” said Yūjirō.

“That’s good for you, Yūjirō-san. I’m glad that you have the skills to prove with” said Seijirō.

“You’re lucky to play more than one sport, which is not a bad deal at all” said Hitomi.

“Hopefully, you’ll be able to get some hustle to play hard because that will give you some flexiblity to play well” said Kuni.

“Yes, of course, Kuni-san! I’ll make sure that I’ll be better to play hard and love the way you have for a great respect. Right, guys?” said Yūjirō.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Ōta Red Section and the cousins of Mimi from Fukuoka.

“Well, that concludes the sharing conversation, guys! I’m sure that it’s going to be a great night that will never forget because we’re so determined to show our pride and compassion for our relatives who were take part of the Bravehearts of Ōta. Aren’t you agree?” said Tomoya.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Ōta Red Section and the cousins of Mimi from Fukuoka.

“Great! Now that’s more I like it!” said Tomoya.

“I hope that you’re all hungry after we have talked a lot about your sharings because we should eat our late dinner together” said Mako.

“You got it right, Mako-san! Now, let’s get into the food stall, so that we can get some food and eat together!” said Nana Kakimoto.

“Yeah!” said the relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta.

“By the way, you’ll be with us too because you’re all cousins of Mimi” said Yūjirō to the cousins of Mimi from Fukuoka.

“Yeah, sure!” said Ritsuo and Natsuhisa while the other cousins of Mimi from Fukuoka have nodded their heads in agreement to agree with Yūjirō.

“Then, let’s go!” said Yūjirō, Nana and Mako.

“Yeah!” said the members of Ōta Red Section and the cousins of Mimi from Fukuoka as they are going to the food stall to get some food and drinks for their late dinner.

The fourth anniversary of my entry to the Anime-Sharing Forum community wouldn’t feel complete without a special profile that I’ll be posting right now. So, to make this one more blooming and harmonious, here is the profile of the Ōta Red Section, composed of the relatives of the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta. This group is a different version of the Bravehearts of Ōta with their main color being red. As a result, they have been identical to their counterparts and they have usually met with them during both summer and winter breaks. This group is led by Yūjirō Hasegawa, the cousin of Subaru Hasegawa, the leader of the Bravehearts of Ōta. One thing that you find it coincidental is that Tomoya Shimamoto, the cousin of Mika Shimamoto, the leader of the Tamagawa Redhawks, is the only member who isn’t a relative to any member of the Bravehearts of Ōta.

Ōta Red Section: Yūjirō Hasegawa, Azusa Kawase, Tatsuhisa Minato, Tomoya Shimamoto, Hideko Misawa, Ryōsuke Sugimura, Yuzu Hirokawa, Seijirō Hakamada, Hitomi Hakamada, Kuni Hakamada, Motohisa Nishimoto, Manatsu Nishimoto, Kōichirō Tsujimoto and Nana Kakimoto

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 56: “RENA BRINGS BACK HER BAND IN THE PAST

Date: May 7, 2010 (Friday)

This side chapter is focused on Rena Ashihara and the Dark Star Nights as they will be reuniting with each other while getting ready to attend the great banquet for the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. Rena was used to be a member of the Dark Star Nights before leaving the group to join the Bravehearts of Ōta.

At the entrance of the mansion, Rena and her friends, composed of Nagako Okazaki, Tokiko Nakashima, Yoshimi Ueno and Maria Yamamoto, are wondering on who will be coming for the great banquet alongside them. Rena had finished calling someone on her phone before speaking to Nagako.

“Rena-chan, is your friend coming her way?” asked Nagako.

“Yes, she will, Nagako-san. She said that she will be here shortly as she find her way of how to get the directions of the Misawa Resort Hotel. There’s nothing you can worry about” said Rena.

“Ah, okay. I believe that she’ll be here with you because you want her to have a great night with your fellow friends from your braveheart group” said Nagako.

“Yes, indeed. She said that she had once visited that place a year ago for a little break, but she forgot about the address though” said Rena.

“Wow. That’s not good” said Tokiko.

“But good thing that you give her the address of this place” said Yoshimi.

“Yeah! I was always taking care of anything that is needed and of course, even I’m on the nastier side, but I begin to compliment everyone” said Rena.

“You’re surely a good girl, Rena-san. It seems that you’re different than your other personality because it made you so determined to show some respect to anyone” saidf Maria.

“Especially that you’re starting to no longer get tense when it comes to friends and rivals” said Nagako.

“Yeah, I agree, girls. My good friend of mine used to say that when I was part of the Dark Star Nights. She said that the most important thing about life is that you should live to the fullest and you should cherish yourself to make you feel satisfied. I know that this advice was complicated at first, but I was able to follow it through my wisdom” said Rena.

“Well, you had a good wisdom in your hearts, Rena-san” said Tokiko.

“Yeah! I like the way you lead for us, even you’re little aggressive if you know what I mean” said Yoshimi.

“Not much, I guess” said Rena.

“I’m very confident about the way you represent for us and I know that one day, you’ll build your circle of friends one day” said Nagako.

“So that, we’re gonna run the place just like the other groups did” said Maria.

“Ah, I’m not sure about that, to be honest, but I think that I can do that if I’m fully prepared to develop new friends and allies on my side” said Rena.

“Okay, that’s fine with me” said Nagako.

“I’m okay with that, Rena-san” said Tokiko.

“I’m sure that you’ll have plans with that one day” said Yoshimi.

“If you’ll be able to become friendlier than being nasty for sure” said Maria.

“Yeah, hopefully, I will have that very soon” said Rena.

“Yeah” said Nagako, Tokiko, Yoshimi and Maria.

Later, a female voice had come out from the entrace of the Misawa Resort Hotel. “Rena-san!” Rena and her friends would turn to see who is coming and it was revealed to be Mayako Miyahara, leader of the Dark Star Nights and a very close friend of Rena. She is also the captain of the Mizunaga Middle School, a middle school located in Nakaikegami. Joining with Mayako are the members of the Dark Star Nights, composed of Himeko Suzumoto, Naomi Ishizu, Hikari Hamano, Haruna Natsuyoshi, Iori Takezono, Shigeko Kawamura, Mutsumi Yamashita, Nagisa Fukagawa and Sanae Shibata.

“Oh, my goodness! You’re finally here, Mayako-san!” said Rena while getting surprised to see her close friend coming to visit the Misawa Resort Hotel.

“Yep! I finally came here, thanks to your help, Rena-san. It’s been a while that we have seen each other since the spring camp” said Mayako.

“Ah, yes! That’s where the red-colored community groups in Ikegami have gathered together to celebrate the beginning of spring. That’s so nice!” said Rena.

“I agree!” said Mayako.

“Anyway, it’s so nice that we see each other again and I was able to join the Bravehearts of Ōta” said Rena.

“WHAT?!” shouted Mayako and the members of the Dark Star Nights while gasping in surprise.

Mayako was surprised about this as she recated to Rena. “Really?! You joined that group?!”

“Yep! I joined that group because I want to be more determined to respect the community, even I started to get better in making friends. While at it, the five of have been close with each other since we were classmates and of course…” said Rena before being joined by her friends as they shout together in uninson. “…we’re all here to unite together as one!”

“That’s very nice, Rena-san! I never expect that you have become friends with them since you want to be friendly than being rough” said Mayako.

“I really like your friends because they have been compassionated to cheer for you and they wanted to inspire you at the same time” said Himeko Suzumoto, a third year middle school student from the Mizunaga Middle School and a member of the Dark Star Nights.

“I’m sure that you five are going to work together to make sure that everything will be peaceful and harmonious for sure!” Naomi Ishizu, a third year middle school student from the Mizunaga Middle School and a member of the Dark Star Nights.

“Yes, we are!” said Rena and her friends.

“I know that I want to start for a real change ever since I was with you before, but it’s going to be nice that I want to be more motivated again after I made new friends in my school” said Rena.

“Oh, good for you! I’m very happy with this, Rena-san!” said Mayako.

“It seems that you started to make youself better rather than getting nasty and rough” said Himeko.

“I hope that you’ll be able to keep this up if you want to be friendlier for more” said Naomi.

“Yeah, I agree, girls! I’ll not let you all down!” said Rena.

“Yeah!” said Mayako and the members of the Dark Star Nights.

“Now that you’re all here, I think that it’s time for us to go to the hall and attend the banquet. What do you say?” said Rena,

“Sure!” said the friends of Rena and the members of the Dark Star Nights.

“Then, let’s go!” said Rena as she, her friends and the members of the Dark Star Nights are entering the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel where they will be going to the hall to attend the great banquet.

At the hall, Rena, her friends and the members of the Dark Star Nights are sitting down in their seats while occupying a table for themselves. They would take their food before eating together. After that, they have a good conversation to talk about.

Mayako asks Rena on how she feels after joining the Bravehearts of Ōta. “Since you had been part of the Bravehearts of Ōta, how did you feel, Rena-san?”

“Well, not bad at all because I started to be kind and courageous to them, even I had been rivals with Maho, the Takenaka twins and Masami. I also want to be respectful to them becuse they have forgave me for what I have done in our match at the district tournament last winter. So, I don’t want to be aggressive ever again” said Rena.

“Ah, that’s good. I believe that your temper had been lowered by the time you joined that group” said Mayako.

“It seems that you’re getting better now from the start and I hope that you’ll be ready contribute for them since they have been sincered to you” said Himeko.

“Yeah, I agree, girls” said Rena while nodding her head in agreement. ‘After you have helped me to be a better girl, I decided to leave your group, so that I want to join the Bravehearts of Ōta. It is a good community group, to be honest, but they’re very prospered enough to bless the community with their own pride and courage. That’s why I want to be friendly with them as soon as they will be gaining the trust on me if I was able to do anything blessed and inspired.”

“I see. Interesting take about that group, Rena-san” said Mayako.

“That group was just formed nearly two months ago and they said that they have currently started to expand through the extended group system” said Himeko.

“Yep! The extended group system was more of a phenomenal group because they want to be more connected to their friends and allies on their side, so that they will be able to work together” said Rena.

“The more they work together as a team…” said Nagako.

“…the better that they will bless and inspire for more” said Tokiko.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Mayako and the members of the Dark Star Nights.

“When I looked about the community groups in Ōta, they’re very good in making their community more brighter than usual” said Mayako.

“And they have always gained the trust on them if they have been able to get the job that is something blessed and inspired” said Himeko.

“Since then, it’s so great to see those getting their opportunity to shine, so that they will be able to get earned for anything” said Naomi.

“Especially when they have some collaborative activities to get the attention on everybody” said Hikari Hamano, a third year middle school student from the Mizunaga Middle School and a member of the Dark Star Nights.

“Of course, it’s so great that the community groups in Ōta have grown themselves to make the community have the brighter future in their hands” said Haruna Natsuyoshi, a second year middle school student from the Mizunaga Middle School and a member of the Dark Star Nights.

“And hopefully, one day, our community will be more peaceful than being chaotic for sure” said Iori Takezono, a second year middle school student from the Mizunaga Middle School and a member of the Dark Star Nights.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Rena and her friends.

“It was so nice that those groups have been prospered through their hopes and dreams to make sure that they will be able to get more trust from them” said Rena.

“It’s so nice that they want to have their opportunity to step up for themselves because that’s what they do to make themselves motivated” said Nagako.

“Of course, they’ll be the ones who will create their future when they grow up” said Tokiko.

“It’s their destiny to make the difference because they always here to step up, so that they will be able to shine their way” said Yoshimi.

“As they’re always there to prosper the community for sure!” said Maria.

“Yeah!” said Mayako and the members of the Dark Star Nights.

“So, what did you do in the Bravehearts of Ōta, Rena? Did you able to prosper anything?” asked Shigeko Kawamura, a second year middle school student from the Mizunaga Middle School and a member of the Dark Star Nights.

“Ah, yes. I was able to contribute for the Fuchsia and Celadon Week where me and my friends have been able to organize a few activities to cater our fellow schoolmates to get indulged and inpsired” said Rena.

“Especially, when we let our friends from our section to participate at the Recreational Games” said Nagako.

“Which all activities are so much fun to play with!” said Tokiko.

“Ah, interesting! I see what you’re doing with that on that day!” said Shigeko.

“Yeah, I participated there with Nagisa and Sanae, so that we want to have our chance to step up for our group” said Mutsumi Yamashita, a first year middle school student from the Mizunaga Middle School and a member of the Dark Star Nights.

“Despite, we’re not good at some of those, we’re still good enough to show our strength and prowess for our group” said Nagisa Fukagawa, a first year middle school student from the Mizunaga Middle School and a member of the Dark Star Nights.

“Which we’re happy with that!” said Sanae Shibata, a first year middle school student from the Mizunaga Middle School and a member of the Dark Star Nights.

“That’s great!” said Rena.

“We saw you on that day when you have participated in that competition, which was so nice to get involved in contributing for your group” said Nagako.

“It was so nice that you have participted in the Recreational Games, which means that you have been able to step up and represent for your group” said Tokiko.

“Well, at least that we tried our best though” said Mutsumi.

“Yeah, there are a lot of competitions out there to choose, but we didn’t get easy to pick on anything that we liked” said Nagisa.

“Except that we’re almost close on winning the dodgeball competition” said Sanae.

“Well, you need to better luck next time if you want to win the competition for yourselves. That way, you’ll have your chance to get earned this time” said Rena.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Mutsumi, Nagisa and Sanae.

“For me, Iori and Shigeko, we took part one of your activities, which you have given us free literature lessons” said Haruna.

“Yeah, we want to be better in that subject, so that we’ll be able to pass the subject in the first term” said Iori.

“It’s a nice activity that we participated and it makes me feel good to get advanced on that subject for sure!” said Shigeko.

“Good for you, girls! I really like it!” said Rena.

“Thanks, Rena-san!” said Haruna, Iori and Shigeko.

“What about you, Mayako-san? Did you have done anything in the Fuchsia and Celadon Week?” asked Rena.

“Uh… yes, of course. I was able to participate at the seminars that were organized by some high school students from the Mizunaga High School. They have sent teachers to be the lecturers and I was able to inspire them” said Mayako.

“Oh, that’s good! I know that you’re almost there in finishing your middle school studies before entering high school next year. It seems that you’re already prepared to move up for sure” said Rena.

“Yeah, I agree. I mean, this is my last year in middle school because next year, I’m going to enter high school, but honestly, I want to stay in Mizunaga because their environment was pretty maginificent and a lot of students have been friendlier than other schools. However, they used to partner with the Suzuridani Girls’ Academy for joint seminars” said Mayako.

“Joint seminars?” queried Rena.

“Yes, Rena-san. The high school students in Mizunaga have been collaborating with the students from the high school division of Suzuridani for different activities, especially when they are organizing summer camps” said Mayako.

“This is the part where we used to enjoy for a better living outside of our school studies, especially when we want to get more on exploring other things such as school counseling and part-time jobs at the faculty office” said Himeko.

“Yeah, they’re very lively and interesting to have those, so that they will be able to get the job on the right place and the right time” said Naomi.

“And also, there’s a chance that they might end up getting scholarships from different universities if they want to be more educated likewise” said Hikari.

“Yeah, that’s true. Did you enjoy those?” said Rena.

“Yes, we are!” said Mayako, Himeko, Naomi and Hikari.

“Good! I hope that you’ll be able to more prepared for high school because it’s going to be tougher than in middle school, but it’s going to be a better life to get used to it” said Rena.

“Yeah” said Mayako, Himeko, Naomi and Hikari.

“We’ll expect more of us if we’re about to get passed in entrance exams, so that we’re gonna be going to high school for sure” said Mayako.

“Okay, good luck with that, Mayako-san!” said Rena.

“Sure, no problem!” said Mayako while Himeko, Naomi and Hikari have smiled on their faces to make Rena get more gratitude from them.

“By the way, Rena-san, what’s next for you?” asked Himeko.

“That’s a good question. You see, with the Fuchsia and Celadon Week will almost come to an end by tomorrow, I will be delighted to get along with my fellow members of the Bravehearts of Ōta because right now, they’re celebrating their friendship banquet with the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, who wil be expecting to stay with us for two more days” said Rena.

“Ah, fascinating. I see that your friends are getting enjoyed with their friends from a faraway city in Fukuoka right now. I mean, are you going to be with them later on?” said Himeko.

“Yes, for sure. I might not be with you girls later on because I need to be with my fellow groupmates from the Bravehearts of Ōta, so that I want to get indulged for myself” said Rena.

“Okay, that sounds good to me, Rena-san. I hope that you’ll be able to make friends with those guys from Fukuoka because as you all know, in our group, we need to be cautious from strangers, but if they find them different more like they’re compassionate, then you can befriend them” said Himeko.

“You have to learn how to make friends that are far away from your home, so that you’ll be able to be friends with them” said Mayako.

“And also, it will be better to have a developed friendship with them as soon as you’ll be able to keep them company for as long as you’ll be able to be close to them for sure” said Naomi.

“It will be fantastic that you’re gonna have new friends with them” said Hikari.

“Well, I’ll try my best though, girls. I mean, I’m somehow glum at the start, but I can overcome whatever I want” said Rena.

“Ah, that’s good! I like your determination, Rena-san!” said Mayako.

“It makes me feel good to see that because you’re a changed girl” said Himeko.

“You’re seemed to be different right now because not only you’re feeling better to get away from your temper, but you’re more determined to make friends now” said Naomi.

“Hopefully, you’ll be more respected when they will gain trust on you” said Hikari.

“Yeah, I will!” said Rena.

“So, what are you gonna do for you to contribute for the Bravehearts of Ōta?” asked Mayako.

“I will be planning to form a group to represent the people who had been friends with me, so that we’ll be able to run together, so that we’ll be able to show our determination and smile to make sure that we’re gonna shine our way for sure. Isn’t that right, girls?” said Rena.

“Yes, Rena-san!” said Nagako, Tokiko, Yoshimi and Maria.

“Ah, that’s a good plan that you have, Rena-san! I know that you have been with us for just a year before you went to your own path of making blessings and inspirations. It’s all about your good hopes to get through with it as soon as you’re ready to step up for your group” said Mayako.

“Yes, I am, Mayako-san. I haven’t planned on this yet, but, hopefully, once I have contributed for the Bravehearts of Ōta, I can start working on that as soon as possible” said Rena.

“Okay, that’s good. I’m sure that you’re gonna have your chance to contribute for your group” said Mayako.

“Yeah, you got this, Rena-san! It’s going to be nice that you need this for you to be blesed and inspired” said Himeko.

“I’m sure that you’re feeling confident about this because that would be amazing to represent your group” said Naomi.

“That way, you can do whatever you want if you get the job done and develop a great friendship with any member from your group” said Hikari.

“Of course, I’m down with that! That’s why I have to be more confident to make sure that I’ll get earned myself to do whatever I want” said Rena.

“Good for you, Rena-san!” said Mayako.

“That’s more I like it!” said Himeko while Naomi and Hikari give Rena a smile.

“I guess that it’s going to be a long night for all of us enjoy this event, but hopefully, one day, we can work together once my new group will be created. Wouldn’t you agree, girls?” said Rena.

“Yeah!” said the friends of Rena and the members of the Dark Star Nights.

“Great! Now, let’s enjoy this night together that we’ll never forget!” said Rena.

“Yeah!” said the friends of Rena and the members of the Dark Star Nights. It was indeed a great night for Rena and the Dark Star Nights as they have finally reunited with each other since nearly two months ago when Rena left the group, so that she can find something to make friends with by joining the Bravehearts of Ōta. Now that she got compliments from her former groupmates including Mayako, Rena is feeling humble and confident to be part of the Bravehearts of Ōta and not only for that, she will be ready to represent her own group if she will able to contribute for the Bravehearts of Ōta one day. Hopefully, Rena is ready to make everyone feel admired and confident, so that she will have her trust gained by them for sure.

Before she had joined the Bravehearts of Ōta, Rena was used to be part of the Dark Star Nights, a girl-only group based in Ikegami, when she was not active with the Suzuridani Girls’ Academy Elementary School basketball team. When she was with that group, she was given some training that was made by Mayako Miyahara, the leader of that group. She had ended up getting confident to score back her serious personality, but a little bit of aggressive when she had battled against her rivals in a pick-up game of basketball. However, despite her nasty and aggressive appearance, Rena had started to become friends with Mayako, thus the latter had accepted her position as the trainer of the former. However, it didn’t last long when she had left the Dark Star Nights without an actual reason as she had ended up becoming a member of the Bravehearts of Ōta. Now that she had been reuniting with her former group, she had vowed to work with them once again, so that they will be able to show how their seriousness can be paid off by not doing any aggressive things to everyone. So, here is the profile of the Dark Star Nights, which is led by Mayako Miyahara, a third year middle school student from the Mizunaga Middle School and the captain of the Mizunaga Middle School girls’ basketball team.

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 57: “Dive, Gleam and Bloom in a Braveheart’s Way” [Highlight of the Fourth Anniversary of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts for the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club]

Rena had remembered her days when she was part of the Dark Star Nights until she left the group to join the Bravehearts of Ōta, despite having a bitter rivalry with Maho, the Takenaka twins and Masami. However, she finally got her confidence back when she was now reuniting with her friend Mayako Miyahara and her fellow groupmates from the Dark Star Nights as they have renewed their partnership between each other, so that they want to shine just like how the mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Ōta did, even though they haven’t become part of it yet.:D All they have to do right now is to maintain their relationship with each other, so that they will have their chance to join the Bravehearts of Ōta, which means that they’re possibly working on merging with Rena’s new group, the Rednight Five, so that they will now become a full group. However, they will have to wait for their time to join if they will develop their friendship first and also, Rena must not be nasty and aggressive again.:) So, it’s going to be amazing to see Rena getting her confidence back to be with her friends from the Dark Star Nights and hopefully, they’ll be ready to work together to shine their community in Ōta for sure!:) With the fourth anniversary of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts will be held in two days remaining, it’s going to be more beautiful and harmonious to celebrate this one and that’s why I have the next update to be posted, which will be on July 18 (Sunday) as the Bravehearts of Minato will be meeting with the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as the former will visit the Ōsaka Residence in a gathering where Shizuku Ōsaka and her Hinako Ōsaka will making an agreement regarding the expansion of the Gleaming Droplet, the extended group of the Aqua and Orange Sparkle, so that they will improve their relationship between each other since they were in the same clan, but they have known with each other as cousins. The Bravehearts of Minato are very close friends with Ayumu Uehara (the cousin of Shinako Takanashi and Azusa Uehara) and Shizuku Ōsaka (the cousin of Hinako Ōsaka), which is why this agreement will be made to ensure that the friendship between the former and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, the school idol group that the latter two being part of, will continue to develop for sure!:) I know that you guys are excited for another NijiGaku update while the anime adaption of Love Live! Superstar!! is currently ongoing, which means that you’re gonna see what they are planning to make the relationship between Shizuku and Hinako developing for more, so that they will call out to gather together and organize future activities in the future. Get ready to gleam and shine with Shizuku and Hinako because this will be more of a special update!;) I’ll see you on July 18 (Sunday) for the third highlight of the fourth anniversary of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

Right now, I’m feeling uplifted that I have made more progress in this series, especially when I had finally expanded the universe of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts, but adding new characters and braveheart groups that appeared in the side story series. I’m so grateful that I have a lot of hard work to make sure that I will be posting those twice a week and so, it’s going to be amazing that this series will continue no matter what until I want to go back on writing Volume 9, which is set to be released by probably next year if the COVID-19 pandemic is over, however, time will tell if everything will be back to normal for the entire world to make progress again.;) I’m currently contemplating about this series on what to do to continue this, but I’ll have them to tell in the near future.:) Now, I hope that you’re all set for today’s update because not only this one is for the fourth anniversary of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts, there a lot of birthday celebrants that we’re going to celebrate!:) And so, for today’s update, it will be dedicated to Yōko Hikasa, Risae Matsuda, Himika Akaneya, Chinami Hashimoto and Shiina Natsukawa.

School Idol Festival All Stars; the sister of Shioriko Mifune (CV: Moeka Koizumi), a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club). She was considered my favorite voice actress when it comes to the genre of fantasy anime (isekai) alongside Yuka Iguchi. Coming out from Takatsuki, Osaka, Risae is the voice actress of Kaoru Mashiko (Katana Maidens ~ Toji no Miko) and Yoshimi (Love Live! Sunshine!!, classmate of Chika Takami (CV: Anju Inami), Yō Watanabe (CV: Shuka Saitō) and Riko Sakurauchi (CV: Rikako Aida)).

Born in Nagano, Chinami is the voice actress of Mitsuki Kanzaki (Recently, My Sister Is Unusual), Ayano Sadatō (The Ryuo’s Work is Never Done!) and Rue/Roo (CHOYOYU! High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even in Another World!) And on the other hand, coming out from Chiba, Shiina is one of the members of TrySail, alongside Sora Amamiya and Momo Asakura. Shiina is the voice actress of Anna Mochizuki (The IDOLM@STER), Akeno Misaki (High School Fleet), Ellenoar “Seira” Seiran (Endro!) and Tsuruno Yui (Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story). Hopefully, those five will continue to make progress of their voice acting careers, especially to Yōko, Himika and Shiina, who have been a great job in making their music careers harmonious with a lot of songs that they have performed. Belated happy birthday, Yōko, Risae, Himika and Chinami, and happy birthday, Shiina!:) Also, July 17 was not only the birthday of Chinami, but that day was also the birthday of Keke Tang of Liella! from Love Live!

If you remember the update, Red Section-Chapter 34, Shizuku had an agreement with her cousin Hinako, who had planned to form her own circle of friends, so that she will include the circle of friends of the former into that circle. This means, Shizuku’s circle of friends (including A・ZU・NA) will be part of Hinako’s circle of friends known as the Gleaming Droplet, which is the name of the extended group of the Aqua and Orange Sparkle. You will see what they are doing in this encounter where both Shizuku and Hinako will be revealing their plans about the structure of the Gleaming Droplet and how it will be looked like.

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 57: “DIVE, GLEAM AND BLOOM IN A BRAVEHEART’S WAY

Date: May 9, 2010 (Sunday)

This side chapter is focused on the Bravehearts of Minato and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as the Nijigasaki High School had invited the Bravehearts of Minato in a gathering at the Ōsaka Residence where Hinako will be unveiling her plans on inviting the friends of her cousin Shizuku to join the Gleaming Droplet, the extended group of the Aqua and Orange Sparkle, through an agreement to both groups.

At the Ōsaka Residence, the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club are waiting for the guests to arrive as they have finished preparing their foods and drinks to be given by the guests. Ayumu, Shizuku and Setsuna are very confident that they are ready to make the guests welcome and comfortable while the rest of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club are so excited on who they will be coming to this place.

Nijigasaki High School Idol Club: Ayumu Uehara, Kasumi Nakasu, Shizuku Ōsaka, Karin Asaka, Ai Miyashita, Kanata Konoe, Setsuna Yūki, Emma Verde, Rina Tennōji and Yu Takasaki

“I’m so excited to see who will be coming Shizuku’s home!” said Kasumi.

“Yeah! I can’t wait to see them because they’re more special just like us!” said Ai.

“And they’re more motivated to bless and inspire everyone” said Karin.

“They’re very determined to make the community even brighter as they have created their future with their own hopes and dreams” said Kanata.

“Just like how we did for our fellow students in our school” said Emma.

“It’s great that they will be with us just for one day” said Rina Tennōji.

“Hopefully, they’re gonna prosper their way with their prowess and determination, making sure that it’s their time to shine” said Yu.

“That’s right, Yu-chan! Our guests are very confident to make everyone start their dreams and they have been doing great to make them blessed and inspired” said Ayumu.

“Yep! I’m very proud of what they are doing, especially that my cousin Hinako-san is making more friends right now after their group was formed” said Shizuku.

“I agree, Shizuku-san. I know that your cousin had been prospered to be friends with her fellow groupmates as she’s very happy with them” said Setsuna.

“Yes, of course, Setsuna-san!” said Shizuku.

“So, Ayumu, who are the guests will be coming?” asked Kasumi.

“It’s going to be the Bravehearts of Minato, Kasumi-chan. My cousins Shinako and Azusa have been part of that group because of their connections” said Ayumu.

“Shinako to Kōji…” said Setsuna.

“…and Azusa to my cousin Hinako” said Shizuku.

“Wow! I can’t believe that your cousins have been part of that group! That’s very nice, Ayumu-chan!” said Emma.

“Thanks, Emma-san! I haven’t revealed that yet until Shizuku told me about this a few weeks ago about the Bravehearts of Minato being formed last March 22” said Ayumu. The Bravehearts of Minato was formed on the first day of spring, which was on March 22, a few weeks after the Bravehearts of Ōta was formed.

“Ah, I see! I didn’t know about that before until I found out about this right now” said Emma.

“Me either because I only heard those from my sister Haruka-chan, saying that they formed that group to symbolize the beginning of their true friendship between them. I know that it was so great to see that coming, but hopefully, they will be planning to partner with us for sure!” said Kanata.

“Yeah, I agree, Kanata-san! It’s so nice that they’re going to visit my home because this is the first time that they’ll be paying a visit to me and everyone in our school idol club” said Shizuku.

“Which is why decided to plan to invite them after Shizuku and Hinako made a call two days ago about the latter’s idea of visiting the former’s home with her fellow friends from that group” said Setsuna.

“How did you do that, Shizuku?” asked Kasumi.

“Well, she contacted me about what to do for the weekend and she said that she wanted to invite her friends to meet me and our school idol club” said Shizuku.

“Ah, okay. I believe that they want to meet us the first time. I’m sure that it’s going to be fantastic that this encounter is going to happen real soon” said Kasumi.

“Yeah!” said Shizuku while giving Kasumi a smile.

“I’m very optimistic that this group will be coming to this place, girls. That Bravehearts of Minato had been formed a month ago and now, they’re more prospered enough with their dreams being made” said Karin.

“It made me so delighted that they’re making their own dreams to keep with and hopefully, those will be fulfilled for sure!” said Ai.

“They’re always determined to make the difference for their community, which is why everyone is ready to do anything to bless and inspire everyone” said Rina Tennōji.

“Yeah, we agree, Rina-san!” said Ayumu, Shizuku and Setsuna.

A few seconds later, a doorbell had been rung, which makes Ayumu, Shizuku and Setsuna getting excited to see who they’re coming to the Ōsaka Residence.

“Oh! Looks like they’re finally here!” said Ayumu.

“Yeah, get ready for this, girls!” said Setsuna.

“You’re about to be surprised to see this!” said Shizuku.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. Shizuku would open the door to see who ring the bell and to her surprise, it was none other than her cousin Hinako Ōsaka and her friends from the Bravehearts of Minato and the Aqua and Orange Sparkle. Joining with them are the three high school friends of Hinako, composed of Sachiko Takashima, Yasue Kataoka and Nene Aizawa.

Others: Sachiko Takashima, Yasue Kataoka and Nene Aizawa


“Hi, Shizuku-san!” said Hinako.

“Hi, Hinako-san! Welcome to my home!” said Shizuku.

“Yeah, it’s so nice that we have reached this place and it’s so nice that I like this comfortable place just like my home” said Hinako.

“Of course, cousin! That’s why today is a big day for us because this is the first time that our Nijigasaki High School Idol Club will be meeting with your group!” said Shizuku.

“Yeah! It’s so nice that you’re all here, which makes so happy to see you all!” said Ayumu.

“I’m pretty sure that you have a great time to get along with us for one day” said Setsuna.

“Yes, we are!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Aqua and Orange Sparkle.

“Please, come inside!” said Shizuku.

“Okay!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Aqua and Orange Sparkle as they finally enter the Ōsaka Residence.

The members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Aqua and Orange Sparkle are fascinated to see the living room being beautiful and more modern.

“Wow!” said Reina.

“Amazing!” said Shinako.

“It’s so beautiful!” said Hinako.

“I like this atmosphere!” said Ruriko.

“I’m totally liking this!” said Yasue.

“I’m so surprised that you had a nice home, Shizuku-san!” said Suzuka.

“I’m very impressed with this because I have visited a lot of places of my friends ever since I was a little boy. This one is indeed a great place to stay for a school idol and a cousin of one of our members in our group” said Kōji.

“Thanks, guys! I hope that you like my home!” said Shizuku.

“It’s very friendly with everyone getting comfortable to stay there” said Ayumu.

“That way, you can feel the great scenery out there before your very eyes” said Setsuna.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Aqua and Orange Sparkle.

“So, Shizuku-san, can we allow to sit down here?” asked Hinako.

“Sure, Hinako-san. You can sit there anywhere you want” said Shizuku.

“Okay!” said Hinako as she and her fellow friends would sit down in the sofa while the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club give them some refreshments.

“Here are some refreshments!” said Setsuna.

“Thanks, Setsuna-san!” said Shinako, Hinako, Ruriko, Yasue and Azusa, which Rina Aonuma questions them.

“You know her?!” shouted Rina Aonuma.

“Yeah! The five of us have known about the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club because we admired them when they made a performance for us. Of course, Hinako was the first to recognize them before each of us did the same thing” said Shinako.

“Shinako’s right, Rina-san. Since I’m the cousin of Shizuku, I got an opportunity to meet them in person when she introduced me to them when they were shopping for new costumes in a clothing shop in Diver City” said Hinako.

“That’s where we started to develop a blooming friendship with them” said Azusa.

“We believe that they have their own dreams to create with and that’s why the five of us have been very close to Ayumu and Shizuku because they’re so cute and beautiful when they performed together” said Ruriko.

“Of course, we became friends with them so quickly, which results to us getting our own special connection with them” said Yasue.

“As we’re all living either near or inside Odaiba” said Shinako.

“Ah, I see that point. Well, I’m glad that you became friends with them, Shinako-san. I didn’t know that this connection was so different compared to how our groups be like” said Rina Aonuma.

“It seems that you girls have been in common with them as a result of that. I’m sure that it will help you to maintain that friendship with them for sure” said Momo.

“Yeah! Just make sure that you’ll always admire them with your impression and heart” said Emiri.

“Yeah, we will, Emiri-san!” said Shinako, Hinako, Ruriko, Yasue and Azusa.

“I’m very excited about this, Ayumu-san! I know that your friend had invited us here, but of course, Hinako is ready to unveil her plan for her circle of friends, which will also be the extended group of her group, the Aqua and Orange Sparkle” said Kōji.

“Yes, it is, Kōji-san! Hinako and Shizuku have their conversation through a call a few days ago about the plans in expanding the extended group of the former as she wanted to integrate with the circle of friends of the latter” said Ayumu.

“Which is why they have a special connection for their friends because not only they have been getting along with each other in occasional events, but their friends would also be involved to be with them” said Setsuna.

“Ah, I see that point, girls! Hinako had been friends with those are coming from the higher level, but of course, she was able to interact with them whenever they have gotten along with each other for leisure activities” said Kōji.

“Not only for that, she had made friends from the students council, but some of them were close to her friends from the Aqua and Orange Sparkle” said Reina.

“Which is why she was very confident to connect with them by creating her own circle of friends that will be composed of the groups that are coming from Toyosu that their main color is aqua” said Motoyuki.

“This could be compared to the other circle of friends that we already have” said Suzuka.

“Since then, she’s ready to connect more by planning to invite some of the friends from her cousin” said Yūjirō.

“Hopefully, that will strengthen the close relationship between Hinako and Shizuku as cousins if the friends of the latter will be agreed to be with them for sure” said Hinata.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Ayumu and Setsuna.

“While Shizuku is busy with something gleaming to prepare with alongside Hinako, we will have a free talk first, so that everyone will be comfortable to make this conversation more blooming” said Ayumu.

“Ah, that’s fine with me, Ayumu-san. I’m okay with that idea what you’re planning” said Kōji.

“Yeah! We can talk everything about the color connections as well as the things about the extended group system” said Reina.

“Hopefully, you’re all ears to listen this!” said Motoyuki.

“Yeah!” said Ayumu, Kasumi, Karin, Ai, Kanata, Setsuna, Emma, Rina and Yu.

Shizuku and Hinako smile to see both groups getting prepared for a free talk before speaking with each other.

“So, Hinako-san, did you have a flow chart that have?” asked Shizuku.

“Yes, of course, Shizuku-san!” said Hinako.

“That’s great! Can you show it to me?” said Shizuku.

“Sure, I would be glad to!” said Hinako as she gives the flow chart of her circle of friends to Shizuku before the latter observes it. After that, Shizuku reacts on what she had seen in the flow chart.

“Wow! That’s amazing! You want to have your close friends coming to your side, aren’t you?” said Shizuku.

“Yep! My circle of friends is going to be composed of my close friends and the groups that are coming from Toyosu and its neighboring areas that their main color is aqua” said Hinako.

“Interesting. I’m sure that it’s your idea to have that, right?” said Shizuku.

“Yes, of course! So, now after we formed that a few days ago, I want to be more connected by merging with your circle of friends. I mean, your close friends out there can join with us if they are interested” said Hinako.

“Well, I would be appreciated to have that, Hinako-san, but in order to have that, maybe you can make another flow chart, so that we can settle that when you’ll be explaining to my fellow club members about your idea” said Shizuku.

“Yeah, sure! It’s going to be fantastic that they will like me idea if I’m going to unveil this” said Hinako.

“You got it!” said Shizuku while giving Hinako a smile on her face. “I’m sure that you’re gonna share this one to everyone later on because you’re my cousin and I will be happy if you’re ready to share everything about your circle of friends.”

“Yeah, I will, Shizuku-san!” said Hinako.

Meanwhile, the members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club are starting their free talk about the current structure of the former as well as the recent devleopments of their extended group system.

“So, guys, what is the current structure of your group right now?” asked Ayumu.

“And then, how does it look like?” asked Setsuna.

“As you can see, we started to expand our group by recruiting new members from different schools as well as some from Odaiba and its neighboring areas. Then, for the side of Hanzōsen, we welcomed a few new members that are connected to both Shinako and Hinako” said Kōji.

“Including Azusa, who is your cousin” said Reina.

“Yeah, Reina-chan! My cousin Azusa had been friends with Hinako since they were working in the student council every club day, but they sometimes get along with each other during breaks. She said to me that Hinako was so compassionate to give her friends a smile that they need because she’s very confident that she want to make the difference like the way her fellow groupmates did. Of course, not only she’s a staffer of that organization, she also took part of the girls’ basketball team” said Ayumu.

“As a result, this is the part where both girls have been very close with each other just like you and Shizuku-san did, Ayumu-san” said Setsuna.

“Yes, of course! It was so nice to make my cousin being close to Hinako-chan, but hopefully, they will be better to develop their friendship for a long time” said Ayumu.

“Yeah!” said Kōji and Reina.

“About the side of Hanzōsen that you’re talking about, Kōji-san, did you find them?” asked Karin.

“Yeah, we were able to recruit them as new members of our group even some don’t have groups that they affiliated with. For example, we invited Takahiro Kitamura, a first year high school student and a friend of Tsuneyasu Takanashi, to join our group as an associate to our group” said Kōji. Tsuneyasu Takanashi is the older brother of Shinako Takanashi and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“He supported our basketball program because he wanted to us running the place that we used to be” said Motoyuki.

“And also, he made a lot of information about the history of our program, especially the players that he met before” said Yūjirō.

“One thing that you should know is that Takahiro is the youngest son of a longtime PE teacher named Taiyō Kitamura” said Junsei.

“Takahiro said that he wanted to become a PE teacher one day when his father retires soon and that’s why he decided to enroll in Hanzōsen to take the sports course and that’s why he became active in the sports committee since middle school” said Reina.

“Ah, that’s so nice! I’m happy that your friend had joined your group” said Karin.

“He knows about everything in your program, which means that he can interact with you whatever you want” said Ai.

“Yeah, of course!” said Kōji, Reina, Motoyuki, Yūjirō, Suzuka, Hinata and Junsei.

“Aside from him, who are more members that joined your group?” asked Karin.

“They were Masaaki Toyama, Kazuhiro Yokoyama, Seiji Taniguchi, Reizō Yoshimura and Mamoru Itagashi” said Kōji.

“They were associates to us because they were coming from Kōji’s own class section” said Reina.

“Sometimes, we invited them to a Casual Friday activity if we find something fascinated” said Suzuka.

“And also, we spend our time eating dinner together with them in Roppongi every Saturday night” said Hinata.

“Oh, that’s good! I’m so happy that they have been part of your group!” said Karin.

“I say that you have been very good in negotiating them to join your group, so that they will be ready to follow the examples of you and your friends of being blessed and inspired” said Ai.

“Yeah, exactly, Karin-san and Ai-san! I’m a good negotiator and a fantastic organizer because that’s what I do to make everyone happy” said Kōji.

“Well, I hope that you can keep this up, Kōji-san, because it’s so great that you have been leading that group since the formation” said Karin.

“Everyone will recognize you not only being the leader of the group, but the ace of your basketball program” said Ai.

“Yeah, you got it!” said Kōji.

“I have one question for you, guys, if you don’t mind” said Ai.

“Sure!” said Kōji, Reina, Motoyuki, Yūjirō, Suzuka, Hinata and Junsei.

“Since you were part of the basketball program, are you also planning to invite the captains to your group?” asked Ai.

“If you have the desire to let them join” said Karin.

“That’s a good question, Ai-san. Uh… for now, we’re not sure about it because we’re still focusing on the current plan” said Kōji.

“But the good thing that we want to see is that Naoya Inuzuka and Satsuki Kanematsu are interested to be associated with us to make sure that they will be able to support our plans” said Reina.

“While Nozomu Sugiyama and Toshimi Yagira have accepted to join the Bravehearts of Minato to act as junior leaders of our group” said Motoyuki.

“In addition to that, Maika Kayama, a relative of Ayumu and a second year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School, had also joined our group as she was interested to contribute with us as well” said Suzuka. Maika Kayama is the younger sister of Mio Kayama.

“It’s so nice that we welcomed new members in our school and hopefully, we’ll be able to keep this up for sure” said Kōji.

“That was a nice job, guys! I’m happy that your group had been expanded with a lot of your schoolmates being interested to be with you because not only they were more respected to you, but they’re very motivated to create their future” said Karin.

“It will be better to give them some love to your group, so that they will be able to develop their friendship with you, so that they’re ready to represent and contribute for your group” said Ai.

“Yeah, they will be ready to be with us to make themselves blessed and inspired and hopefully, they will do whatever they want because it’s their hopes and dreams to be created with” said Kōji.

“I agree with that, Kōji-san!” said Karin.

“I’m happy for you!” said Ai.

“By the way, Kōji-san, what are the colors for each member of your group?” asked Ayumu.

“Well, we have used different colors to represent with. For example, mine is gold, Reina is pink, Motoyuki is brown, Yūjirō is turquoise, Suzuka is purple, Hinata is jade…” said Kōji.

“…Shinako is orange, Rina is red violet, Momo is magenta-like peach, Hinako is aqua, Emiri is teal…” said Reina.

“…Ruriko is violet, Yasue is yellow, Sachie is light green, Ayame is lemon, Yumi is silver…” said Motoyuki.

“…Junsei is garnet, Azusa is red, Moeko is amethyst, Sayaka is spring green and Natsuko is midnight blue” said Suzuka.

“For the other members of our group such as associates and recently-welcomed members, it varied from warm to cold colors, but most of them were redder and orange-like” said Yūjirō.

“It’s so great that we have identified our colors because we have to those for themed attires and sometimes, occasional activities such as school festivals and out of town encounters. Isn’t that right, everyone?” said Hinata.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“Wow! You guys have used all colors that have been identified to what we used!” said Setsuna.

“I like the way you picked those colors because it’s so bright that you used those for your own style to wear as it becomes a rainbow group” said Ayumu.

“I find it fascinated that you used them because it makes you so stylish to choose the right attire to wear to represent on who you are” said Emma.

“You guys are so creative in using those colors for your style of clothing just like how our club members including Kanata-chan used to when we have a performance to shine with” said Kanata.

“I’m so surprised that you choose most of the colors that we used for our club, but I’m happy that you choose that for your style of clothing today” said Kasumi.

“I’m impressed to see those because you’re all thrilled to represent for your group!” said Yu.

“It makes me so gleamed that you have shown your pride to wear those to shine your way” said Rina Tennōji.

“I’m so fascinated that you have used those colors for your style of clothing, which reminds me of how I did in my modeling career before joining the school idol club” said Karin.

“I love your style of clothing that you have today! That makes me so happy to represent your color for sure!” said Ai.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehears of Minato.

“I’m sure that you’ll be able to keep using your colors to represent your colors for pride, so that you’ll be proud of yourself” said Ayumu.

“The colors that you have are brighter and colorful to be honest and hopefully, you can use those to blend for your style of clothing whenever what your activity will be” said Setsuna.

“Yes, I agree with you, girls. That’s why we became more confident to choose our own colors to prefer what style we need for an activity, but we can do anything in many ways like blending those if there’s a special day for someone or choose at least one color, which we call that the monochrome clothing vibe. We’ll make sure that we’ll always wear our own colors in our own way, so that we’ll be proud of ourselves. Right, guys?” said Kōji.

“Yeah, Kōji-sama!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“You make me smile to see you and your group getting motivated with your color that you have right now and I’m very proud of that, of course!” said Ayumu.

“So, one day, when there’s a special day for your group, then show some inspiration to make yourself determined and compassionate to represent your group” said Setsuna.

“Yeah, we will!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“I heard that your group had created the extended group system. So, will you explain it to us?” said Yu.

“Sure, I would be glad to!” said Shinako as she’s going to explain about the extended group system of the Bravehearts of Minato. “For our extended group system, each of us have our own circle of friends to represent with and of course, we want to be more connected with friends and allies, so that we’ll be able to work together to bless and inspire our community with our own prowess and determination.”

“We started with Shinako’s Ribbon Sun, who were more determined to have many friends and allies that they have. Then, it would be followed by the Elegant Diamond, a group of friends of Ruriko, the Yellow Aurora, a group of friends of Yasue, and the Aqua and Orange Sparkle, a group of friends of Hinako” said Azusa.

“Then, other groups including mine, the Amethyst Luna, have their extended gruops in development as they’re trying to make their structure on what their representation would go with” said Moeko.

“We want to shine our way with our representation because this is what we do to make us more motivated to create our future and that’s why we will be ready to organize future activities that will spark everything up in Minato” said Rina Aonuma.

“Everyone will be excited that we’ll show how it’s done in Minato to make sure that they’ll be ready to follow our dreams in bringing peace and prosperity to our community” said Momo.

“Yeah, that’s right, Momo-san. We want to gather everyone to join different extended groups, so that we’re ready to make the difference in bringing brighter ideas to create with, so that we’ll be ready to make them getting their attention to shine with us” said Nanami, who is in place of Hinako, who was busy creating her own flow chart for the integration of Shizuku’s circle of friends to her circle of friends.

“If we want to be more blessed and inspired, then everyone will be invited to join, so that they will get their chance to contribute for us!” said Emiri.

“Yeah, I agree, Emiri-chan! In Bravehearts of Minato, it’s our way to represent pride, prowess and determination because it’s our way to prosper our community like how the other braveheart groups did in Tokyo” said Ruriko.

“The other braveheart groups in Tokyo have been prospered ever since they were able to make their dreams to create, so that they will be able to make their communities blessed and inspired with their own statement” said Yasue.

“It’s so great that a lot of braveheart groups in Tokyo have been motivated to create their future and inspire everyone” said Sachie.

“They follow the three principles of a braveheart group, which are composed of pride, couage and willpower” said Ayame Ichikawa.

“Don’t forget that they also have the prowess to show their smiles to everyone” said Sayaka.

“Which they will be comforted to be with their friends and allies to have their wonderful day to run their place togetherNatsuko.

“That’s why we’re ready to keep expanding our group with the extended group system, so that we’re all here to step up and shine for the better future of our group” said Yumi.

“Ah, that’s so cool! I never imagine that you had a lot of friends and allies that they wanted to follow the examples of being blessed and inspired! I like that!” said Yu.

“I agree, Yu-chan! I’ll be confident that your group will have a lot of circles of frineds to connect with and as soon as they’re ready to cheer for you, then they’ll be ready to show their thrills and smiles to make themselves blessed and inspired” said Ayumu.

“They’re very respectful to you since they want to contribute just like they want to represent for you” said Kasumi.

“Your pride and compassion won’t be forgotten since you were all working in the same page” said Karin.

“Everyone will be happy to gather around to contribute while making new friendships with each other, so that they’ll start their bonds of friendship” said Ai.

“I believe that your group had been doing great to make bigger progress with your friends and allies because you have made them feel admired to make sure that they’re ready to get blessed and inspired with your smiles” said Kanata.

“A lot of people wanted to make their future due to them being prospered and determined to live up with their dreams, so that one day, they’ll be comforted enough to fulfill their dreams” said Setsuna

“Every community group in Minato can do that in many ways to make themselves earned and that’s why they’ll be delighted that they have been blessed and inspired if they have done something big” said Emma.

“With your circle of friends being formed in your group, it’s going to be fantastic that you’ll be confident to make them friends with your friends allies for sure” said Rina Tennōji.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“About the recent development on Hinako’s circle of friends, what does it called?” asked Ayumu.

“It’s called the Gleaming Droplet, which was named after Hinako and I believed that we want to gleam while standing in the coast as we are feeling determined to show who are since we were close friends with each other” said Nanami.

“We want to represent Toyosu with our friends and allies coming out to get along with us for collaborations to shine and believe” said Yurina.

“Aqua and orange are the official colors of the Aqua and Orange Sparkle and that’ why we’re very determined to bring new friends out there to support us” said Ayaka.

“Yeah, and not only for that, we’re gonna spark our way to collaborate with Hinako’s cousins, so that they will be able to get blessed and inspired for themselves too!” said Toyoko.

“Of course, that’s the reason why Hinako wanted to make an agreement with Shizuku about the integration of the circle of friends of the latter to our circle of friends” said Nami.

“That’s right, Nami! Shizuku said to me earlier that her circle of friends, which is composed of her classmates from the international exchange class and her other friends that she got along with when she was in Seiran” said Kasumi.

“Wait a minute. Is she coming from that school before?” questioned Nanami.

“Yes, she was” answered Kasumi. “You see, Shizuku was a student in Seiran when she was in middle school. She got a scholarship that would allow her to stay there for high school, but instead, she ended up transferring to our school because she wanted to inspire for more as she continued her dreams of being an actress.

“That’s why, she became confident that she wanted to do anything to gleam and shine as she wants to fulfill her dreams of becoming an actress when she did everything well in the Drama Club” said Rina Tennōji.

“Ah, I see that point” said the members of the Aqua and Orange Sparkle.

“So, when she was in Seiran, did she made friends with her former schoolmates out there?” asked Sachiko Takashima, a first year high school student from the Hanzōsen High School and a friend of Hinako Ōsaka.

“Yes, she had. She had a lot of friends from that school when she studied there and she was able to cherish them with her smile” said Kasumi.

“They became inspired when they were friends with her at that time before Shizuku transferred to our school, but they will forget about her since their middle school days were over” said Rina Tennōji.

“However, sometimes, she would end up meeting with them for a little reunion as soon as she won’t be busy with the school idol club one day” said Kanata.

“Well, I’m glad that she had remembered anything from her former school because she had her moments that she treasured with when she wore her school uniform in Seiran” said Sachiko.

“One day, when we met her at the Diver City, she was so cute that she was able to give us the smile” said Yasue Kataoka.

“I love the way she smiled because she’s very generous” said Nene.

“We have been respected by her after we met her the first time” said Sachiko.

“Ah, that’s very nice, you three! I’m so happy that you recognized her before!” said Kanata.

“It feels great that you had been blessed by her because she’s admiring everyone” said Ayumu.

“And she always smiles when she got some gratitude from you!” said Setsuna.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Sachiko, Yasue and Nene.

“I’m sure that you’re all familiar with Shizuku-chan, girls, because one thing that you should know is that she becomes very confident when she was with us and that’s why she started to become the lyricist for our school idol club” said Rina Tennōji.

“Yep. She is very good in acting and singing with her harmonious voice, which means that she can make stories that she can build for us” said Kasumi.

“Oh, that’s nice for her!” said Nanami.

“I’m so glad that she had been good in acting and singing!” said Yurina.

“She’s very determined to show her voice for her compassion” said Sachiko.

“I hope that she will be motivated to do anything to shine” said Ryūji Iwami, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Aqua and Orange Sparkle. He is also the cousin of Seijirō Iwami.

“That way, she’ll be happy to make her career going well for sure!” said Masahide Shimatani, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Aqua and Orange Sparkle.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“I believe that your group will be ready to gleam for sure since Hinako and Shizuku were close with each other and it seems that everything will be set once Hinako will unveil something big” said Yu.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Aqua and Orange Sparkle.

“We have been growing a lot of blessings to everyone ever since we started to welcome our new partners to the Gleaming Droplet” said Nanami.

“Especially, when we built some connection not only from Hinako’s, but to most of us as well!” said Yurina.

“Which is the reason why she started with Shizuku because she had always been connected to her due to them living in Toyosu, but a few miles away from each other” said Ayaka.

“Also, she had some plans to partner with some students from the Seiran Middle School to be with them, but she said that she is going to focus on the same year level as her” said Toyoko.

“After that, she will be planning to collaborate with Takahiro Hiraoka, her cousin from her maternal side, because she liked the ambitions of the group of the latter known as the Blue Shower Opal” said Nami.

“We also invited a few friends that we have, so that they want to contribute as well” said Shigeko Morioka, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a member of the Aqua and Orange Sparkle.

“They’ll be more confident to contribute for us because they’re going to motivate themselves no matter what” said Ryūji.

“Hopefully, we’ll be ready to organize future activities to shine not only in Toyosu, but the entire Minato for sure!” said Masahide.

“That’s more of an ambition that you want to have them with your bright ideas, guys!” said Kasumi.

“Those plans are looked promising because you want to bless and inspire the community for more” said Karin.

“It’s great that you have a lot of friends to bless and inspire for you because they want to be like you!” said Ai.

“It’s like they’re ready to gleam with your smiles to make everyone admired for sure! Rina-chan Board: Approve!” said Rina Tennōji.

“I like those plans that you have, guys! I’m super thrilled with this!” said Yu.

“Yeah! That will make everyone so happy to contribute for Hinako-san” said Setsuna.

“Especially that Shizuku-chan will be delighted to contribute with your group because she’s ready to gleam for all of us. Right, girls?” said Ayumu.

“Yeah, we agree, Ayumu-san!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“You said it, Ayumu-san! You’ll be all blessed and inspired when we’re gonna organize something big in the future. So, get ready for those real soon!” said Nanami.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

Part 2

Shizuku and Hinako would finally cal out the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, the Bravehearts of Minato and the Aqua and Orange Sparkle as they are about to announce the good news.

“Everyone! I got some good news!” said Shizuku.

“What’s the good news, Shizuku-san?” asked Nanami.

“Hinako had just finished her flow chart with her bright ideas being included! She will also be planning to collaborate with our school idol club, which means that this is going to be fantastic that we’ll gonna work together!” said Shizuku.

“Wow! I can’t believe that she had done her work! I wonder what kind of flow chart would be like” said Yu.

“Well, I’m thrilled to see that because it’s going to be great if she will be sharing about the activities that she planned including the collaborations” said Ayumu.

“Yeah! I will be motivated if she had those because it will be great to see what activities will be going with as well as how it’s gonna work it out” said Setsuna.

“I would imagine if she will invite the friends of Shizuku to an activity that will be focused on helping everyone” said Ai.

“Especially if she wants to focus on catering the students of Nijigasaki to support for her cousin” said Kasumi.

“That would be fantastic to have that, Kasumi-chan!” said Karin.

“Yeah! That will make the collaboration getting bloomer!” said Emma.

“Kanata-chan will be happy to see that because that will make the friends of Shizuku-chan feeling motivated to get along with Hinako-chan and her friends on her side” said Kanata.

“They’ll be ready to gleam for Shizuku and also, they’ll be thrilled to get involved in making the partnership developed” said Rina Tennōji.

“Yeah, I agree with your reactions, girls. Since I’m part of this school idol club, I’ll be happy to help Hinako to develop a better friendship between my group of friends and the circle of friends of the latter because it will be magnificent to develop our relationship with Hinako as cousins and so, I’ll be read to contribute for her and her friends for sure!” said Shizuku.

“Well, I’m motivated to see that, Shizuku-san! I’m looking forward to it!” said Yu.

“It’ll be great that you and Hinako will have a great relationship to make your friends ready to cheer for you” said Ayumu.

“Hopefully, we’ll be able to get involved with the collaborations that your cousin planned as we’re all here to create new dreams for sure!” said Setsuna.

“Yeah, I agree, Setsuna-san!” said Shizuku. “I’ll be delighted that all of you will be my guests for my collaborative activities with my cousin! That way, you’ll make my cousin very happy that they’ll be contributing for her!”

“Yeah, we will, Shizuku-san!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“Ah, that’s awesome! I like that annoncement, Shizuku-san!” said Nanami.

“I’m so surprised that she had a lot of plans to work with!” said Yurina.

“Yeah! I’m excited about what you’re planning with!” said Ryūji.

“I’m really sure that you’re gonna reveal it!” said Sachiko.

“Yes, of course! I have worked on this because I want our group to be connected with Shizuku’s circle of friends, so that we’ll be welcoming them in bringing new partnerships between each other” said Hinako.

“I agree, Hinako-san! We should explain about your ideas together!” said Nanami.

“Yeah, sure!” said Hinako.

“Well, then, it’s time to present your flow chart to everyone!” said Shizuku.

“You got it!” said Hinako while giving Shizuku a smile on her face. Hinako shows her new flow chart to the members of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. “What do you think, everyone? Is it nice?”

“Yeah, that’s a good one, Hinako-san!” said Yu.

“I like that too!” said Ayumu.

“Me either, Ayumu-san and Yu-san! That was beautiful!” said Setsuna.

“There are a lot of connections out there!” said Emma.

“Including some that are close to you” said Ai.

“That’s a nice sketch, Hinako-san! Rina-chan Board: Approve!” said Rina Tennōji.

“Yep. I have finalized this with a lot of ideas that I have in mind and of course, I want to make my extended group being expanded for more. The reason for this is because as a cousin of Shizuku, I’ll be delighted to let the friends of her being involved for the collaborative activities by our group, so that they will be ready to bless and inspire the community with their heart and determination” said Hinako.

“Magnificent explanation, Hinako! I’m so excited about what you and Shizuku plan for the collaboration between your circle of friends and her circle of friends because it’s going to be blooming to see on how they will work together and how it will get the attention to everyone” said Kasumi.

“I believe that you’re very confident in making your circle of friends getting bigger because allowing Shizuku’s friends to join your circle of friends will make bigger impact on your relationship with Shizuku because she’s your cousin” said Kanata.

“Also, since she’s a member of our school idol club, she will do anything to make you blessed and inspired as you’re ready to motivate for more” said Karin.

Shizuku nods her head to agree with Karin before replying to her. “That’s right, Karin-san. Hinako and I have been very close with each other and we used to meet with each other during the gathering for our clan every year. And now, with Hinako being part of the Bravehearts of Minato, she’s ready to make better dreams to everyone including those from our clan. I’m delighted to see her compassionate personality because being a braveheart is a dream to make people ready for a brighter future and that’s why she is ready to be with her friends on her side, so that she will be comforted to make herself blessed and inspired to represent her hometown.”

“I believe that you’re ready to help your cousin to shine because you’ll always admire her” said Ayumu.

“So that, she will be happy to get along with you at any time she wants” said Setsuna.

“Yeah, I agree!” said Shizuku.

“So, Hinako-san, what did you plan for the expansion of your circle of friends?” asked Kōji.

“Well, I want to include the friends of Shizuku into my circle of friends, which is also the extended group of my group, the Aqua and Orange Sparkle, known as the Gleaming Droplet. I hadn’t met them before because her friends are older than me, but I want to make them friends, so that they’ll be happy to collaborate with me one day” said Hinako.

“I believe that you’re going to make them acquaintances, which you did the same thing to Sachiko and her group of friends” said Kōji.

“Yep!” said Hinako.

“Interesting. I mean, you’re one of my special girls in our Bravehearts of Minato because you’re the cousin of Shizuku and I think that you have a lot of inspirations from her” said Kōji.

“When I looked at your flow chart earlier, I say that you want to invite at least some friends of your cousin to be part of your circle of friends. Is that what you’re planning?” said Reina.

“Yes, indeed” said Hinako.

“That’s great! I know that you have been involved in making friends and helping them to motivate yourselves” said Reina.

“And also, since you have a lot of duties within the student council, you’re very confident to organize future activities like a summer camp or a lecture activity, so that they’ll be motivated for you to shine our school” said Motoyuki.

“It will be fantastic that you can do that on your own if you worked harder in the student council” said Suzuka.

“Uh… not necessary, but to be honest, I’m still a first year middle school student. There are a lot of things to learn before doing those and also, I have to contribute first” said Hinako.

“Well, you’re very good in giving the students some advice to make them motivate” said Shinako.

“You’re very compassionate to every one of us including your friends out there” said Rina Aonuma.

“They know that you’re giving prosperity to the community, which is why we’re always here to support you” said Momo.

“So that, you’ll be blessed and inspired for sure” said Azusa.

“Yeah, I agree, guys! I’ll do anything from the bottom of my heart to make sure that they’ll be happy to support me” said Hinako.

“That’s very nice, Hinako-san!” said Kōji.

“Just make everyone blessed and inspired, so that they will give you something blooming in return” said Shinako.

“Yeah, I will!” said Hinako.

“What’s inside in your flow chart?” asked Junsei.

“That’s a good question, Junsei-san” said Hinako as she’s about to explain about the things that she inserted in the flow chart that she made. “You see, there are a lot of things that I put in my flow chart, but the most important thing of that is going to be welcoming the schoolmates and other friends of Shizuku into my circle of friends” said Hinako.

“So, that’s what you wanted for the expansion of your circle of friends, Hinako-san. I didn’t know that you’re planning something big for your circle of friends because you’re more special than we are” said Junsei.

“Yes, that’s true, Junsei-san. The four of us, me, Shinako, Ruriko and Yasue, plus Azusa have been involved in communicating with those that have been friends with the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club because they are prospered enough to support them to make sure that they’ll shine their way to make themselves thrilled to them” said Hinako.

“As a result, the Ribbon Sun, the Aqua and Orange Sparkle, the Elegant Diamond, the Yellow Aurora and the Bridge of Sakura and Persimmon became the only groups that are allowed to have their extended groups bigger through the linked connection with Ayumu and Shizuku” said Azusa.

“On the other hand, some groups that have been friends with the other members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club would also do the same thing although that the difference is that they aren’t part of the Bravehearts of Minato yet” said Ruriko.

“However, we can associate them through a linked partnership where they will be allowed to have some groups being expanded whether they are close to any member of NijiGaku or allied to” said Yasue.

“That way, it’s a win-win situation for all community groups in Minato that have been closed to NijiGaku” said Shinako.

“Fascinating. I’ll be motivated that we can make partnership with different community groups in Minato, but I’m sure that the linked partnership needs to be pushed through if both sides agreed with each other” said Junsei.

“Yes, of course!” said Shinako, Hinako, Azusa, Ruriko and Yasue.

“The other thing is that the linked partnership can allow some groups to welcome new members. That way, they’ll be very special to represent because they have supported NijiGaku since that group was formed recently” said Suzuka.

“A lot of community groups can make special designated rules for those who have been associated to NijiGaku, especially that some have members that are relatives to any of them” said Motoyuki.

“It’s more like a family member rule where they can make partnership with their relatives, so that they will be able to represent their group whether they were in the same family or coming from a different family, but part of us a little” said Yūjirō.

“It would be looked like a clan system during the feudal period, but since we’re in the contemporary period, any group can make their own extended group whatever they want” said Hinata.

“So that they’ll get earned themselves to represent for any member of NijiGaku” said Junsei.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Shinako, Hinako, Azusa, Ruriko and Yasue.

“What else that you written in your flow chart?” asked Rina Aonuma.

“We have to add a new sub-group of the Gleaming Droplet where this one will be a group of friends of Shizuku and allies, so that they will be able to represent themselves for Shizuku” said Hinako.

“Oh, that’s very nice! I can’t wait that when they’ll be meeting us one day, they’ll be ready to get involved in working in a gleaming way” said Rina Aonuma.

“Yeah! The more friends and allies that you invite them…” said Momo.

“…the better that your extended group will be bloomed to shine for a brighter future!” said Emiri.

“Exactly, girls! That’s why this new sub-group will be more prestigious and I will model it from the extended groups of the three groups that they already have that one” said Hinako.

“Ah, sounds like you have inspired that from the circle of friends of Shinako, Ruriko and Yasue to follow the example of making new friends that are allied to both Ayumu and Shizuku” said Rina Aonuma.

“I’m very motivated that you’ll be making more friends to get along with because they want inspire you” said Momo.

“A lot of people will be motivated to support you and that’s why it will be great that they’ll get earned when you saw them showing some compassion and thrill for you and Shizuku” said Emiri.

“Yep. Hopefully, your groups will start planning with that if you’ll be able to make friends with those that are allied to Ayumu and Shizuku” said Hinako.

“Yeah, we’ll think about it for now” said Rina Aonuma.

“We’re not sure if we’re ready with this” said Momo.

“But we’ll surprise you one day” said Emiri.

“That’s great!” said Hinako.

“In your flow chart, you said that you’ll have to invite some friends from Seiran. What does it mean?” said Sachie.

“Ah, yes. For the students from the Seiran High School that are close to Shizuku, they will be part of the same sub-group that have the friends and allies of Shizuku from the Nijigasaki Academy High School. This means that, they’ll be delighted to get along with them as soon as they will supporting Shizuku when she will have a performance for her school idol club” said Hinako.

“Well, that sounds like it’s a good thing for you to add them into your circle of friends because we all know that Shizuku was a former student in Seiran” said Sachie.

“And even she was no longer a student of that school for high school as she transferred to Nijigasaki, she will still be happy to meet her at some time” said Ayame.

“They will be optimistic to participate in your activities that will be organized by your group and your allies, so that they’ll be able to boost their friendship with Shizuku for sure!” said Yumi.

“You said it, Yumi-san! As soon as Shizuku and I wll be planning to organize future activities, we’ll be ready to gleam together to make our friends thrilled to enjoy” said Hinako.

“Yeah, we agree, Hinako-chan!” said Sachie, Ayame and Yumi.

“I have a question to ask, Hinako-san. Will your other relatives join the Gleaming Droplet as well?” said Moeko.

“Of course, Moeko-san! As a member of the Ōsaka clan, I’ll be happy to invite them as soon as they want to be determined to support me in my basketball career” said Hinako.

“Ah, that’s good! For me, I hope that I can do that for my extended group because we’re planning on that to represent the two wards, Minato and Kōtō” said Moeko.

“Our group, the Amethyst Luna, will be hoping to invite our friends and allies to join our extended group, so that we’ll be able to inspire us to make sure that they will be motivated to follow our dreams” said Sayaka.

“We’ll be expecting to launch it by next week, but hopefully, we’ll do our best to complete our goal and follow the examples of other extended groups that was formed already” said Natsuko.

“Oh, that’s awesome, girls! I’m very happy to hear your plan about your group going to have their own extended group. I’ll watch out for that because I want to see how it’s done and how it will play out for you to work on making future activities that will get the attention to your neighborhood” said Hinako.

“Yeah, we should be very confident to work this out because we’re ready to shine our way to represent Shinonome and its neighboring areas” said Moeko.

“We’ll be prepared to do anything for our group to shine for more and that’s why we’re very confident to make our friends gleam and shine in their way” said Sayaka.

“You’re all prepared for this, guys. So, watch out for us in a few weeks to witness the formation of our extended group!” said Natsuko.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“So, what will happen to the structure of the Gleaming Droplet, Hinako-san, since you will be welcoming the friends and allies of Shizuku?” asked Nanami.

“Do you think that it will affect the rest of it?” asked Yurina.

“Well, it will not affect the other groups, but some of them from the allied group will be transferred to that new sub-group if they are friends with Shizuku” said Hinako.

“Okay, I understand about that. I’ll be very confident that once they’ll be joining our circle of friends, then this will be more of a blooming way to make us thrilled for more” said Nanami.

“I’m pretty confident that the new sub-group will be different from the friend group and the allied group because they’re more of a special group that they want to dive, gleam and bloom to support Shizuku” said Yurina.

“And they’re very interested in making the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club a thrilled school idol group to watch out” said Ayaka.

“That’s why we should be more confident that we will support them for future performance” said Ryūji.

“So that, we’ll always inspire not only your cousin, but to the rest of that school idol group!” said Sachiko.

“Yeah, I agree with that, guys!” said Hinako.

“I hope that you’ll have some plans to keep the expansion coming because once they’re agreed to join the Gleaming Droplet, you’re gonna give them some blessings that they will treasure” said Yasue Kataoka.

“You’re a comfortable member of the Bravehearts of Minato and I hope that you’ll keep working on that to make the Aqua and Orange Sparkle continue to gleam for more” said Nene.

“Yes, indeed, Yasue-san and Nene-san! Hopefully, we’re gonna plan a schedule for our gathering by next weekend, so that it will be a fantastic day to make everything bloom to start working together as one” said Hinako.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Aqua and Orange Sparkle.

“So, Hinako-san, what are the activities that you’ll be planning as part of the integration of the circle of friends of Shizuku into your circle of friends?” asked Ayumu.

“Yes, of course, Ayumu-san. One of my planned activities for the collaboration between the Gleaming Droplet and Shizuku’s circle of friends will be a role play where we’ll pretend to be actors with me and Shizuku being the directors while Kuniko and Sachiko will act as assistants” said Hinako.

“Yep. Since I’m aspired to be an actress one day, I decided to come up with that idea because I want me friends to get involved in acting since they have supported me when I performed for the Drama Club. So, Hinako-san and I will be planning to invite our friends to create our own role play, so that we will try our best to perform well to make sure that everyone will be impressing us for sure” said Shizuku.

“Interesting idea, Shizuku-chan! I would love to see that!” said Ayumu.

“Yeah! I’m sure that you’re very good in acting, Shizuku-chan” said Emma.

“You got this! I’m very confident that you’ll make your friends ready to shine for you” said Setsuna.

“I’m going to be thrilled if you can make it because I motivated you!” said Yu.

“It will be amazing that you’ll be able to give them the role on your role play, so that it will be awesome to see that when you’re all prepared” said Ai.

“Yeah, I hope so, Ai-san. Honestly, I’m trying to be confident in being an actress one day, but being a school idol is very nice for me to gleam with” said Shizuku.

“Well, I agree with your words, Shizuku-san. It seems that you’re looking admired when you were acting on the stage to shine” said Karin.

“Everyone knows that you’re an admired girl who makes everyone cheerful and happy, which makes Kanata-chan inspired you to make sure that you’ll work hard in the Drama Club” said Kanata.

“The Drama Club is your second home, Shizuku. I hope that you’ll make progress in that club while working together in the school idol club” said Kasumi.

“Hopefully, you’ll get earned what you want if you will be able to get a spot on a future play for your club” said Rina Tennōji.

“Yes, I will, girls. I’ll try my best!” said Shizuku while giving her fellow club members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club a smile.

“That’s great! Show your confidence that you’ll be motivated to act!” said Setsuna.

“Hopefully, we’ll be happy to see you performed when we’re watching you!” said Ayumu.

“You got it, Ayumu-san and Setsuna-san!” said Shizuku.

“Aside from the planned role play, Hinako, what else did you plan on?” asked Kasumi.

“There is an outdoor activity in Aomi where we will do some Casual Friday spree where we will be buying some stuff together, so that we’ll be able to use those for fun” said Hinako.

“Oh, I see! I guess that you’re going to look for new products to buy with!” said Kasumi.

“That will make you thrilled to get one!” said Karin.

“Yeah, for sure!” said Hinako.

“That’s a good one, Hinako-chan. I used to buy some clothes for my modelling stuff and it paid me off to wear those. I my look stylish to show who I am and I’m perfectly confident with my body to make myself passionate” said Karin.

“Ah, you must be working as a model, right?” queried Hinako.

“Yeah, of course! I looked sexier when I’m modelling for something gleaming and it made me feel good to represent for my friends on my side” said Karin.

“Well, I’m happy for you, Karin-san. I like the way you worked for because you’re very compassionate just like me and my cousin. I say that you’ll go for it because it will be a great way to represent the school idol club to make them smile” said Hinako.

“I agree, Hinako-chan. All of us will be motivated to get into something gleaming and it’s going to be fantastic to see those because that’s why you can do to make yourself optimistic” said Karin.

“And being optimistic would give yourself some good vibes to make sure that you have a good day to show with” said Kanata.

“I believe that you’ll have those vibes if you cherished your friends and that activity that you’re planning will work out real soon” said Kasumi.

“Yeah, I hope that it will, Kasumi-san” said Hinako.

“What are the other plans that you’ll be organizing with Shizuku and her friends?” asked Ai.

“I also have proposals like watching a movie marathon, playing badminton and riding bicycles on a Saturday morning. These activities would be nice for both sides to develop their friendship” said Hinako.

“Those ideas are good too, Hinako! I’m very excited about those because Shizuku liked to do those when she’s not active in the school idol club” said Ai.

“Yeah! There are other things that she did when she was in home” said Rina Tennōji.

“For example, she likes to take care of her home when she doesn’t do anything, but sometimes, she can make research on movies that was popular in the country” said Emma.

“Especially, she likes to draw on dramas and tokusatsu because that’s what her relatives were good at” said Setsuna.

“Shizuku is very compassionate when she got the heart for acting and that’s why she’ll always step up show her skills in acting, so that she’ll get earned that she contributed for the Drama Club” said Ayumu.

“I believe that you’ll follow her example because she’s your cousin and that will make you feel optimistic to cheer for her” said Yu.

“Yeah, of course! There’s always the heart to inspire and motivate with because I’m always coming out to represent not only my clan, but the Bravehearts of Minato. I’ll make sure that I’ll do anything to bless and inspire everyone!” said Hinako.

“I agree, cousin! Your activities will make me feel good and so, I’ll agree with your plans to make this agreement settled!” said Shizuku.

“Okay!” said Hinako as she shakes her hand with Shizuku to complete the agreement where both circle of friends will be ready to collaborate for future activities whenever both sides will be ready to gleam the community and to develop the relationship between Hinako and Shizuku as cousins.

“Oh! I’m so happy with this, Hinako-san! I’m getting goosebumps to see this!” said Shinako.

“It sounds like your plan will be ready to work on whenever Shizuku and her friends aren’t busy with their stuff” said Azusa.

“We’re looking forward to those, Hinako-chan! Things will be very interesting to see both groups ready to work together” said Ruriko.

“It’s going to be fantastic that you’re going to do anything for her!” said Yasue Ichikawa.

“Yeah! The Gleaming Droplet will be ready to gleam and shine with new allies coming out to represent for me and my friends!” said Hinako.

“That’s very nice with your agreement being settled, Hinako-san!” said Reina.

“It seems that you’re ready to do this because you have the heart to represent for your cousin” said Motoyuki.

“I’m gonna watch out for that because I’ll be motivated to see what you’re doing to make sure that you’ll shine the community” said Kōji.

“Yes, I will, guys! You’ll be ready to gleam out once I’m gonna organize those for sure!” said Hinako.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“Now that you and your cousin have finally settled the agreement to allow the circle of friends of the latter being part of the Gleaming Droplet, everything will be looked good for us because we will have another group of allies to shine with us” said Nanami.

“Yes, it is, Nanami-san. I’m very motivated with this because not only Shizuku will be here to support me, but her friends will be there too. That way, we’ll be working on future activities to make the community in Toyosu shine!” said Hinako.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Aqua and Orange Sparkle.

“Now that our partnership with my cousin had been settled, it’s time to gleam and shine together!” said Hinako.

“You got it, cousin!” said Shizuku while giving Hinako a big smile on her face before speaking to the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, the Bravehearts of Minato and the Aqua and Orange Sparkle. “Now, let’s have a good day together to make ourselves comfortable, everyone!”

“Yeah!” said the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, the Bravehearts of Minato and the Aqua and Orange Sparkle. The connection between Hinako and Shizuku had finally elevated to a different level as the Gleaming Droplet, the extended group of the Aqua and Orange Sparkle, had finally allowed to merge with the circle of friends of Shizuku, so that they will be able to work together for future collaborative activities that will shine their community in Toyosu. Both Hinako and Shizuku have known with each other because they were cousins and now, they’re ready to develop their relationship to make sure that they’ll shine together with their smiles that they will never forget. One day, they will be ready to make the community more gleaming as they’re going to organize future activities for the Gleaming Droplet, so that everyone will be ready to show their heart and determination to make themselves blessed and inspired to support them for sure.

In order to make this special update more complete to make it dazzling and shining, I will be posting the profiles of the Bravehearts of Minato, the tenth braveheart group to be introduced in this series and third in Tokyo, and the Aqua and Orange Sparkle, a friend group composed of the friends of Hinako Ōsaka. The Bravehearts of Minato is a braveheart group that is more of a very special group due to some of their members being very closed to Ayumu Uehara and Shizuku Ōsaka, both members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club with Shinako Takanashi, Azusa Uehara, Mio Kayama and Maika Kayama being the cousins of Ayumu and Hinako Ōsaka being the cousin of Shizuku. This group is led by Kōji Hanagata and their vice leaders are Reina Sakaguchi, Motoyuki Hori and Shinako Takanashi. They have also welcomed their new members that are coming from the fifth grade of the Hanzōsen Elementary School, led by Yuika Shinozaki and Masahide Yajima.

EDIT #1 (7/22/21): I didn't realize that I have to add the male counterparts of Ruriko Hosoda, composed of Toshikazu Aramaki, Kyōhei Okita (cousin of Chiyoko Sonoda (CV: Haruka Shiraishi) of Hōkago Climax Girls from THE IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors), Kazumasa Matsui, Takuma Ishida, Jirō Tsuboi and Naoki Enomoto, should be part of that group as well. As a result, the Others section is now fixed with those six being added.

EDIT #2 (7/25/21): I added Chiaki Takanashi, the cousin of Ayumu Uehara, the leader of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, and Shinako Takanashi, the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Minato, into this list and changed the spelling of the surname of Toshimi Yagira from "Yagura" to "Yagira".

EDIT #3 (8/1/21): I made a minor update in this profile where I fixed the right school of Naoya Inuzuka and Satsuki Kanematsu as they should be studying in the Hanzōsen High School, not the Hanzōsen Middle School, because they are both third year high school students.

EDIT #4 (8/12/21): I added Airi Kurohara, another cousin of Chiyoko Sonoda, into this list.

EDIT #5 (8/29/21): I added Tsuneyasu Takanashi, the cousin of Ayumu Uehara, the leader of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, and the brother of Shinako Takanashi, the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Minato, into this list.

EDIT #6 (6/16/22): After nearly ten months of no changes in this profile, I made a major update where (1) I had changed the birthdates of Nozomu Sugiyama and Toshimi Yagira from 'December 4' and 'June 28' to 'January 5' and 'May 22', respectively to prevent confusion with Naoya Inuzuka and Satsuki Kanematsu, whose birthdays are on December 4 and June 28, and (2) I had added a set of new members of this group, composed of Ayaka Maeki (a friend of Chiyoko Sonoda (CV: Haruka Shiraishi) of Hōkago Climax Girls from THE IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors), Sumika Hasumi (a former Chikusa, Nagoya native that currently lived in Odaiba), Yuina Isayama (the cousin of Shinako Takanashi), Sayumi Tomosaka, Kuni Nakatomi, Mayuko Takaki, the Thrill Section, a group of relatives of the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club that have followed the basketball career of Shinako such as Hiroe Hisano (the cousin of Yu Takasaki (CV: Hinaki Yano)), Ayumi Mizusawa (the cousin of Shizuku Ōsaka (CV: Kaori Maeda)), Namiko Toyonaga (the cousin of Setsuna Yūki (CV: Tomori Kusunoki)) and Sumiko Hirasawa (the cousin of Shioriko Mifune (CV: Moeka Koizumi)), and Seiya and Hiroyasu Hisano (the cousins of Yu Takasaki and Hiroe Hisano).

A Post-Chapter Postscript Message from Shizuku Ōsaka

Hi, everyone! This is Shizuku Ōsaka of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I would like to thank everyone for reading this beautiful update, which me and my cousin Hinako have revealed our agreement to my fellow club members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and the members of the Bravehearts of Minato. Hinako said that she had created her own circle of friends known as the Gleaming Droplet, which will also be the extended group of the Aqua and Orange Sparkle. This new circle of friends will be composed of the close friends of my cousin and the groups that are coming from Toyosu and its neighboring areas that their main color is aqua. She also said that she had invited her close friends in Toyosu to join that circle because they have a great friendship with her as they have supported her in her basketball career. In our agreement, she decided to integrate my circle of friends into the Gleaming Droplet, so that they will be allowed to meet with anyone in the Gleaming Droplet for collaborative activities that will gleam everyone. It makes me feel happy to see my cousin getting more friends to get along with, so that she will make them feel admired and comfortable with her smile. When Hinako joined the Bravehearts of Minato, she had been very close to her friends on her side, especially when she had helped them to accomplish their goals at the same time. I believe that she’s very generous to show her smile and compassion because she knows that she can do anything to make them believe and inspire and she will be more motivated to be with them all along, especially when she invited them to some occasional activities that were organized by the Bravehearts of Minato. That’s why Hinako is always prepared to make friends because she believes that they have groomed her to make sure that she will make progress of her basketball career just like how my friends from the international exchange class did to me where they supported me in my school idol career and I appreciated them with my smile in return. That’s how people believe in themselves because they want to cherish themselves, so that they will able to make themselves thrilled with their friends, especially when they needed them to develop their friendship between them. It feels great that this update was all about the future of my cousin because she is getting ready to shine for the Bravehearts of Minato and I will always promise her to keep her smile while representing that braveheart group for sure! I hope that you enjoyed reading this update as this makes me and the rest of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club feel thrilled because you’re all here to support us to shine for more and hopefully, we will continue to develop our school idol careers because that’s how school idols do to shine. Anyway, my fellow members of A・ZU・NA, Ayumu Uehara and Setsuna Yūki, will be posting their postscript messages that will be related to this update, so you better get ready to see what they will share about as this will be part of a developed friendship between the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and the Bravehearts of Minato. So, get ready for those, so that you’ll be ready to make yourselves thrilled to read this for sure! Until then, I’ll see you next time when we’ll meet each other again in a future update that will feature me and my fellow club members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and keep your smile to make you comfortable, everyone!
- Shizuku Ōsaka (CV. Kaori Maeda)

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 58: “Boys’ Talk at the Banquet” [Highlight of the Fourth Anniversary of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts for the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka]

This update is the eleventh Love Live!-related update and the fourth for the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as I’m still admiring that school idol group due to their recent development including the sub-unit releases of DiverDiva, A・ZU・NA and QU4RTZ and the releases of the original songs from their first season of their anime Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and hopefully, they’ll continue to shine together because that’s what the school idols do to believe and inspire. Hinako’s plan had been revealed as she will be planning to add the circle of friends of her cousin Shizuku to the Gleaming Droplet, which is the extended group of the Aqua and Orange Sparkle. This move will allow the friends of Shizuku, especially to her very closed ones, to meet up with the other members of that circle where they will be ready to organize future activities that will shine everyone in their community in Toyosu. As a result of that, this will continue strengthening the relationship between the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and the Bravehearts of Minato due to the latter have the cousins of Ayumu and Shizuku, which means that they will allow to organize activities that will develop their friendship with each other and it will be fantastic to see them believing and inspiring everyone who wants to make thrills and joys, so that they will make their dreams come true.:) It feels great Hinako will finally make her circle getting expanded because of her relationship with Shizuku being bloomed since they were in the same family, but as cousins. I believe that this one will be more of a beautiful agreement, so that Hinako and Shizuku will be ready to make them gleam, believe and shine, so that they will make them feel admired and comfortable for sure!;) Now, the main thing that I have to do for the post-script messages is that I will divide it into three parts, which I already posted the one for Shizuku. The next one will be for Ayumu, which will be posted on July 21 (Wednesday), while the other one will be for Setsuna, which will be posted on July 25 (Sunday) when I will be posting the special 2020 Summer Olympics update. You’re going to see more secrets about the relationship between the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and the Bravehearts of Minato when both Ayumu and Setsuna will be explaining about how it happened and the other things that made their relationship, so you’ll be thrilled to see those in the next update.:) Speaking of the next update, this one will be all about the leading boys as Subaru and the leading guys of the braveheart groups of Fukuoka will be hanging out each other as they are about to attend the great banquet at the hall in the mansion of the Misawa Resort Hotel. Hopefully, you’re all excited about this because this one will be the fourth highlight of the fourth anniversary of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts as you’re gonna witness the boys chatting with each other throughout the evening while celebrating the development of the mutual friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. Get ready to gleam and smile with them when you’ll be reading this next update for sure!;) I’ll see you on July 21 (Wednesday) for the fourth highlight of the fourth anniversary of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

Hi, everyone!:) I know that it's been a while since I was getting busy earlier that day, but I'm confident that I'm going to post this update today (July 22) despite heavy rainstorms are still raining in my home. Anyway, this update was supposedly posted yesterday (July 21), but it was moved to today (July 22) due to the Internet connection being disconnected by the time I was checking my computer, which it lasted for 6 hours.:( However, I decided not to post it later that night because I don’t want to repeat the situation from last month, which was Red Section-Chapter 45, where I have to post it at 9 in the evening. The other main reason for this is because of a strong typhoon in Japan known as Typhoon In-fa or Typhoon Fabian in the Philippines, which causes the Internet connection in my home to be disconnected for 6 hours.:( Fortunately, it was fixed now.:) While at it, I was able to prepare everything for today’s update, especially the revisions on the profile of the Bravehearts of Minato with new characters being added. Hopefully, you’re ready to see this update right now because there are a lot of celebrations that will be celebrating with.:) Speaking of which, it feels great that the Milwaukee Bucks had finally become the 2021 NBA Champions after defeating the Phoenix Suns in Game 6 for their franchise’s second championship since 1971, the year that they have won their first championship with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson leading that team. Giannis Antetokounmpo had finally fulfilled his dream of becoming an NBA Champion after being drafted by the Bucks 8 years ago. Coming off from his contract extension in the off-season where the Bucks have acquired former New Orleans Pelicans player Jrue Holiday, Giannis had finally proved the league that’s he’s unstoppable with his beast moments getting paid off and led the Bucks to the Top 3 in the Eastern Conference. After beating my favorite team, the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference Finals in 6 games, which Giannis was out for 2 games due to a hyperextended left knee when he collided with Clint Capela, who made the alley-oop dunk before landing him to the floor. Giannis never gave up as he continues to get stronger and resilient by scoring 40+ points in Games 2, 3 and 6 and making three big blocks against the Suns. He closed out Game 6 with 50 points, 12 rebounds, 5 blocks and shot 16/17 from the free throw line. It was so great to see Giannis running the Finals with his team alongside Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday and Bobby Portis Jr. as they are proven to be stronger ever since they have overcome the challenges in both regular season and NBA Playoffs. Giannis had been awarded the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award, becoming the second international player to do so after Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks in 2011. Coincidentally, all Antetokounmpo brothers, Giannis, Thanasis and Kostas, have won one NBA title each with Kostas did first with the Los Angeles Lakers last year and now, Giannis and Thanasis did the same thing earlier when the Bucks won the NBA Finals against the Suns. It’s getting hotter right now in Milwaukee for what they have expected a great season by the Bucks because they’re now the new NBA Champions in the new era of the NBA, which will about to celebrate their 75th anniversary next season. Despite my favorite team didn’t able make it to the NBA Finals, I’m so surprised that this series had been the best so far and I will forget this moment that Giannis had led the Bucks all the way to the NBA Finals and finished their goal in a high note. With the 2020 Summer Olympics is almost approaching, Jrue and Khris, alongside Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns, will be leaving Milwaukee tomorrow to catch up with Team USA, who will be competing in the basketball tournament of that said multisport games. It’s going to be fantastic to see this one if they will be able to shine with Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard and Draymond Green and so, they will do whatever it takes to take the gold medal in Tokyo. So, congratulations to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks! You have always taking the league on notice with the ‘Fear the Deer’ spirit and hopefully, they will continue to get unstoppable for sure!:) Now that the 2020-21 NBA season is finally over, it’s time to celebrate for more as I’ll be posting today’s update that will feature the leaders of different braveheart groups, composed of Subaru Hasegawa (Ōta), Kazuhiro Hatakenaka (Fukuoka), Masanori Yasukawa (Hakata), Tōru Matsushima (Minami), Takahiro Natsukawa (Sawara) and Akihisa Miyazawa (Nishi).:)

As you all know, we’re almost there for the 2020 Summer Olympics that will take place in Tokyo tomorrow, July 23 (Friday), and so, in honor of that upcoming sporting event, I’ll be posting a special update, which will be all about how the community teams in Ōta have been developed when it comes to sports. This one will be very interesting because you’re gonna see how they have participated in amateur and citywide competitions and how they have done in different ways. So, get ready when you’ll be coming back on July 25 (Sunday) because this one is going to be so special!;) Now, let’s focus for now on today’s update that I’m about to post right now, but before you’ll read it, this one will be dedicated to five voice actors: Nozomi Nishida, Iori Saeki, Tomoya Takagi, Aya Uchida and Aina Suzuki. Nozomi, Iori and Tomoya's birthdays are today (July 22) while Aya and Aina's birthdays will be tomorrow (July 23), which is also going to be the day of the opening ceremonies of the 2020 Summer Olympics. One thing that you find it coincidental because today (July 22) is also the birthday of Nico Yazawa, a member of µ’s and BiBi from Love Live!;) Nozomi, Iori, Aya and Aina were all singers while Aya and Aina were also part of the multimedia franchise project series Love Live! School Idol Project.:) Nozomi is a voice actress and singer from Gifu Prefecture and the voice actress of Makina Nakajima (Macross Delta, representing Walküre), Satori Tamaba (Armed Girls Machiavellianism), Tsubasa Arihara (Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine), Kuroha Shirokita (Re:Stage! Dream Days♪, representing Tetrarkhia) and Itsuki Yakumaru (A Certain Scientific Accelerator). Born in Kanagawa, Iori is a voice actress and singer that voiced Maiko Kurashiki (Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine), King Halo (Uma Musume Pretty Derby), Kimie Kamata (Oresuki), Yuyuko Tanaka (Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight, representing Rinmeikan Jogakkou), Vanilla (Nekopara) and Ashley (Lapis Re:LiGHTs, representing LiGHTs). Tomoya is the voice actor from Gunma Prefecture and the voice actor of Itsuhito Sakaki from Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! Coming out from Ōta, Gunma, a sweet and prestigious Aya is a member of µ’s and Printemps from Love Live! as she is the voice actress of Kotori Minami. She had also voiced various characters such as Kaban (Kemono Friends), Yū Aoki (Ms.vampire who lives in my neighborhood), Hatsume Aoba (RELEASE THE SPYCE), Mitsuki Shimoya (The Master of Ragnarök & Blesser of Einherjar), Inori Misuda (Kandagawa JET GIRLS), Rigel (Z/X Code reunion) and Elizabeth S. Altar (Infinite Dendogram). And last but not the least, hailing from Chitose, Hokkaido, an elegant and beautiful Aina is a member of Aqours and Guilty Kiss because she is the voice actress of Mari Ohara in Love Live! Sunshine!! Aina had also voiced various characters from different anime releases including Jashin-chan (Dropkick on My Devil!!), Byakko (RELEASE THE SPYCE), Yamirii (Alice or Alice), Shuri Kijino (Z/X Code reunion) and Kana Hoshisato (Hatena Illusion). I hope that those five will continue making progress of their voice acting careers, especially to both Nozomi and Iori as they have motivated to show their voice when it comes to voice acting and music careers and for also for Aya and Aina because they have worked hard in being part of Love Live! School Idol Project series for a long time!;) Happy birthday, Nozomi, Iori, Tomoya, Aya and Aina!:) For the character birthdays, they are Akeno Himejima of High School DxD (July 21) and Nico Yazawa of Love Live! (July 22). Akeno is a shrine priestess born to a human shrine maiden Shuri Himejima and the fallen angel leader Baraquiel (CV: Tetsu Inada) and the Vice President of the Occult Research Club. She had a power to use a variety of abilities, preferring elemental attacks such as lightning strikes and can transform her costume to that of a shrine priestess, thus assuming her nickname Priestess of Thunder. Upon her graduation, her position Vice President was given to Yūto Kiba (CV: Kenji Nojima). Akeno is voiced by Shizuka Itō, a Tokyo native, who is also the voice actress of Akeno's mother Shuri and Mihoshi Takamura, the aunt of Subaru Hasegawa (CV: Yūki Kaji), from Ro-Kyu-Bu! And on the other hand, Nico is a cute and energetic third high school student from the Otonokizaka Girls' Academy High School and the president of the Idol Research Club, the group that she created. Nico had been close friends with Maki Nishikino (CV: Pile), Eli Ayase (CV: Yoshino Nanjō) and Nozomi Tōjō (CV: Aina Kusuda). Nico acts as the group’s wardrobe supervisor alongside Kotori Minami (CV: Aya Uchida). She had the strongest desire to become an idol out of everyone in µ’s, and had tirelessly worked hard in order to achieve her goal. However, much to her chagrin, she is childlike in appearance and behavior despite her age as she is looked much younger than the rest of the group. Originally, she had formed the Idol Research Club, but all of her club members left one after another because of her high standards. When Honoka Kōsaka (CV: Emi Nitta) and her friends have asked her to have the club as µ’s base of operations, Nico was reluctant at first, doubting how far they are willing to go to become successful idols until she approved of their effort and eventually, joined the group. She has a tendency of acting like a big shot and constantly craves attention, but is deeply caring of the people around her. Of course, unlike the other members of the group, she had an idol persona, and tends to invoke her catchphrase, “Nico Nico Nii” with an accompanying pose. After she graduated, she gave the position to Hanayo Koizumi (CV: Yurika Kubo). She has three younger siblings namely Cocoa, Cocoro and Cotaro and a very good cook. Nico is voiced by Sora Tokui, a Minamibōsō, Chiba native. Belated happy birthday, Akeno, and happy birthday, Nico!:)

Enjoy reading the 58th side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 58: “BOYS’ TALK AT THE BANQUET

Date: May 7, 2010 (Friday)

This side chapter is focused on the leading boys of six braveheart groups, composed of Subaru Hasegawa (Ōta), Kazuhiro Hatakenaka (Higashi Fukuoka), Takahiro Natsukawa (Sawara), Masanori Yasukawa (Hakata), Akihisa Miyazawa (Nishi Fukuoka) and Tōru Matsushima (Minami Fukuoka) are they are having their own night to get along with after the first day of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup had been concluded.

The buzzer had been sounded as Nagasaki’s Team Fujisawa-Narahara have walloped Okinawa City’s Tropic Dragon, 84-69, in the round of 16 of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup to advance to the quarterfinals against Masanori Yasukawa and the Green Leaf Rustlers, which will take place tomorrow. Both players from both teams have shown their respect with each other after the game is over. This was the second game of the first round match of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup at the Recreational Center after the match between Fukuoka’s Blue Verdant Fukuoka and Tosu’s Team Hiyama, which the former won.

“And that’s all she wrote for Team Fujisawa-Narahara of Nagasaki as they defeated the Tropic Dragon of Okinawa City by 15!” said Shigemasa Aoyama, an English literature teacher at the Nashiba High School.

“Yep! They have been an amazing job in making their run in the second half after a lot of lead changes happened in the second quarter” said Mitsuhisa Yagi, a PE teacher at the Keishin Academy High School.

“The star of this game is none other than Daiki Nishizawa, who scored 23 points, 8 assists and 4 steals. He even grabbed 3 rebounds and hadn’t committed turnovers in the game. What a game by him!” said Ryūta Hoshide, a Music teacher at the Tsukuba Gakuen High School. Students and colleagues called Ryūta as Ryūta ‘Bizarre’ Hoshide due to his fascination and impression on something bizarre.

“Yes, indeed! Now, Team Fujisawa-Narahara will be going to the quarterfinals against the Green Leaf Rustlers, who have eased out the Cruise Drizzle of Kanoya earlier, which means that this could be the battle of the shooters between Daiki and Masanori” said Shigemasa.

“I agree with that, Mr. Aoyama. There’s going to be a war between those two guys out there. They’re very highlighted shooters to score a lot and this could be very interesting to witness this match tomorrow” said Mitsuhisa.

“You said it!” said Ryūta.

“So, we’ll see you tomorrow for the quarterfinals of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup as we’re gonna bring you some hyped matches that you’re going to witness!” said Shigemasa.

“Yep! It will be amazing that you’re all here to watch because we’re gonna give you some groove to see your favorite players out there to shine!” said Mitsuhisa.

“And then, we will find out on who will make it to the final four, which will take place at the Recreational Center” said Ryūta.

“Yes, indeed!” said Shigemasa before concluding the game with his sign off call. “Anyway, this is Shigemasa Aoyama, alongside Mitsuhisa Yagi and Ryūta Hoshide, and we will be signing off for now. Good night, everyone!” Mitsuhisa and Ryūta wave their hands to say goodbye to the people who have stayed at the Recreational Center.

As everyone in the Recreational Center are ready to leave, so that they will be ready to watch tomorrow’s games, Subaru and the five leading boys of the braveheart groups of Fukuoka are about to leave as well because they should be ready for the great banquet that was organized by the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka.

“Wow! I can’t wait to see how my friends are doing at the mansion with that celebration going on!” said Subaru.

“Yep! I’m very excited with this because it’s been a while that our group and your group have known with each other since then” said Kazuhiro.

“Yeah, of course! It feels great that we’re gonna celebrate our night at the mansion because this special night will be our night that we will never forget” said Subaru.

“Yes, man, I agree!” said Kazuhiro.

“You two have known with each other since the last time you met in last year’s Winter Cup” said Takahiro Natsukawa, a second year high school student from the Umehama Gakuen High School and the leader of the Bravehearts of Sawara.

“That’s where Kashii Gakuen participated in that tournament before falling to the Tokai University Kōfu High School in the quarterfinals” said Masanori Yasukawa, a second year high school student from the Aohoshi Gakuen High School and the leader of the Bravehearts of Hakata.

“They’re currently the defending champions of the Winter Cup and they have gone strong this time with Tadanori Kanazawa and Naruhisa Okanishi being their top players this year” said Akihisa Miyazawa, a second year high school student from the Fukushige Sanban High School and the leader of the Bravehearts of Nishi Fukuoka.

“I believe that you two will be ready to watch out on them once either the two of you will have a chance to face them” said Tōru Matsushima, a second year high school student from the Tōka Seigyo High School and the leader of the Bravehearts of Minami Fukuoka.

“Well, it’s too early to say that, Tōru-kun. We haven’t sure if we’re ahead of them or not, but they’re very looked good to be honest” said Kazuhiro.

“Especially when they have a stronger force” said Subaru.

“Exactly, boys. Then, we should have our own strategy to beat the Tokai University Kōfu High School one day in the Interhigh Nationals if any of us will make it to that tournament for sure” said Takahiro.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Subaru and Kazuhiro.

“So, I heard about your call earlier with someone from your group that the party is ongoing. What was that?” said Akihisa.

“Oh, it’s the great banquet to celebrate the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. Kazuhiro and his friends have visited this place last week when me and my friends met them the first time” said Subaru.

“Yep. We didn’t know about this until we find out that Subaru had finally formed his group to represent the people of hometown in Ōta. That’s why it’s so great that my group was there to meet with his group” said Kazuhiro.

“Oh, interesting. I see that you’re having a special friendship with Subaru. Well, that’s very nice. You know, it would be great if we can take part of that event because I want to check on my girl Sumiko Miyasaka, who was very busy getting along with the other girls” said Akihisa.

“Yeah, I’m also going to check on that event if I want to relax for a little bit because my team had a match tomorrow” said Masanori.

“That would be a great idea to relax with us for a while, Akihisa-kun. You’re seemed to be prepared for your next match” said Tōru.

“You should prepare everything for your tomorrow, Akihisa-kun” said Takahiro before speaking to Kazuhiro. “And goes to you, Kazuhiro-kun. You had a match as well against a comfortable team from Kagoshima.”

“Yeah, Takahiro-kun. I should be ready for that because my team will be ready to show how stronger we are” said Kazuhiro.

“I’m hoping for a possible tournament final match between your group and Akihisa’s group because it will be an amazing match to see the two of you facing against each other in a different level” said Subaru.

“Yep. We haven’t faced each other in major competitions before, but we battled against each other in friendly matches in our home soil” said Kazuhiro.

“Where Kazuhiro’s team had won all of them, which they are all close ones” said Masanori.

“However, it’s going to be different this time because both Blue Verdant Fukuoka and Green Leaf Hustlers are still in the tournament, but they were separated into different brackets” said Akihisa.

“The Blue Verdant Fukuoka on the left…” said Takahiro.

“…and the Green Leaf Rustlers on the right” said Tōru.

“That’s why this might be our chance for my team and Akihisa’s team to make it to the finals together, so that we’ll be facing off against each other for sure” said Kazuhiro.

“I agree with that, guys, especially to you, Kazuhiro-kun. Hopefully, when this happens tomorrow, this is going to be the best match that we will never forget” said Subaru.

“Yeah!” said Kazuhiro and Akihisa while Takahiro, Masanori and Tōru nod their heads in agreement to agree with Subaru.

“By the way, a lot of our friends from different braveheart groups of Fukuoka have also been present in the mansion, especially Keiko-san and her friends, which means that this night will be the best that we will never forget” said Kazuhiro.

“Exactly, Kazuhiro-kun! Let’s go to the mansion and have a big party to celebrate!” said Subaru.

“Yeah!” said Kazuhiro, Masanori, Takahiro, Akihisa and Tōru.

As the leading boys have made their way to the mansion, they would be surprised that a lot of visitors have stayed in that place, which includes most have stayed at the hall for the great banquet. They would go to the entrance of the hall when Aoi and Masayo greet them.

“Oh, there you are, Subaru! I have been waiting for you since you were busy with your friends out there” said Aoi.

“Yeah, but I’m finally back now after we matched the last game at the Recreational Center. The crowd is going wild that there are a lot of people watching the first day of the tournament, but it feels good to see Kazuhiro’s team made it to the quarterfinals” said Subaru.

“That’s very nice, Subaru! I’m so happy that you came here just in time for the appreciation speech” said Masayo.

“What appreciation speech?” queried Subaru.

“You know, going to appreciate everyone who were present in the banquet” said Aoi.

“Ah, of course! I should be doing that right now” said Subaru.

“Then, you and Kazuhiro will be in the stage for the appreciation speech” said Masayo.

“Oh, okay” said Subaru.

“That’s fine with me” said Kazuhiro.

“But what about us?” asked Masanori while he, Takahiro, Akihisa and Tōru wanted to be in the stage with Subaru and Kazuhiro as well as guests.

“Well, fine. You’re all in” said Aoi.

“Alright!” said Takahiro, Masanori, Akihisa and Tōru.

“Now, get ready, guys, because it’s your night to appreciate everyone!” said Masayo.

“Yeah!” said Subaru, Kazuhiro, Masanori, Takahiro, Akihisa and Tōru as they finally enter the hall with Aoi and Masayo where the great banquet took place.

At the stage, Miyuki Matsuzaki is about to announce something big to everyone. “Everyone! May I have your attention please?” Everyone would be silent as they are about to listen to what Miyuki said. “Sorry to keep you waiting, but the good news is that Subaru and Kazuhiro have just arrived!”

The members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the other guests were surprised that Subaru and Kazuhiro are finally here.

“Are they finally here?!” reacted Tomoka.

“Is it true, Miyuki-san?” queried Keiko.

“Yep! They’re now here to make the appreciation night right here” said Miyuki.

“Ah, that’s good!” said Keiko.

“I hope that they’re gonna give us some moment of appreciation” said Tomoka.

“Yes, they will, Tomoka-san!” said Miyuki before speaking to everyone as she’s going to introduce them to Subaru and Kazuhiro. “Ladies and gentlemen, the moment that you’re all being waiting for! Please welcome, the leaders of the two braveheart groups, Subaru Hasegawa of the Bravehearts of Ōta and Kazuhiro Hatakenaka of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka! Let’s give them a round of applause to those two!”

Everyone would give Subaru and Kazuhiro a round of applause as they witness Subaru and Kazuhiro entering the stage to give them some appreciation for the great banquet.

“Thank you, Miyuki-san! It’s so great that you’re all here because this is the celebration that you’ll never forget!” said Kazuhiro.

“That’s right, Kazuhiro-kun! Tonight, it is a special day to all because you’re all here to celebrate the development of the mutual friendship between my group, the Bravehearts of Ōta, and Kazuhiro’s group, the Bravehearts of Fukuoka!” said Subaru.

“Yes, it is! So, are you all excited about this?” said Kazuhiro.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the guests.

“Yep! Now, as you all know, this is the first time that this event had happened as a late schedule being added due to the recent development of the two braveheart groups, so that it will be amazing to make both groups getting close with each other!” said Subaru.

“I’m sure that this is just the beginning of the mutual friendship between the two braveheart groups, but hopefully, you’re all prepared to make this blooming to make sure that we’re gonna prosper for sure!” said Kazuhiro.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the guests.

“Now, as tonight is a special night for all of us, we’re going to celebrate this until it reaches midnight because tomorrow will be the last day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Subaru.

“Also, it’s going to be awesome to bring this event blooming because every member of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka is present, especially that we have a lot of guests coming out there to celebrate with us” said Kazuhiro.

“So, hopefully, you’ll have a wonderful night to celebrate because tomorrow, we will cap off the Fuchsia and Celadon Week, so that we’re gonna start our era for sure!” said Subaru.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the guests.

“Now, it’s time to do the toast, so that we will continue to signify the mutual friendship between the two groups” said Kazuhiro.

“Stand up, everyone, as we’re going to give everyone a toast” said Subaru. Everyone in the hall would stand up as they will be ready to toast for the mutual friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. They hold the glass of iced tea before Subaru and Kazuhiro will be declaring a toast.

“I would like to give everyone a toast to the mutual friendship between the of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka as we’re ready to elevate this to the next level, so that everyone will continue to bless and inspire our communities to make sure that we’re all prospered to create our future” said Kazuhiro.

“May this mutual friendship last for a long time as we will be ready to make the difference, so that everyone will be all here to bless and inspire with each other. From this very night, we’re all here to rise together as one family of bravehearts as we’ll be ready to make the future getting brighter” said Subaru.

Then, Subaru and Kazuhiro raise their glass of plum-flavored juice as they shout together in unison. “To everyone who had been prospered for a brighter future, we unite as one!”

“We unite as one!” shouted the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the guests while raising their glass of plum-flavored juice.

Everyone including Subaru and Kazuhiro finally shout together to toast together as one family of bravehearts! “For a better future of our community as one family of bravehearts!” After that, everyone would drink their glass of plum-flavored juice to complete the toasting.

“Now, let’s work together for a brighter future, bravehearts!” said Subaru and Kazuhiro.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the guests.

“There you have it, ladies and gentlemen! The toast is now complete as this is the sign of a continuous development of the friendship between the two groups. And now, let’s continue the celebration for a developed friendship between the braveheart groups, everyone!” said Miyuki.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka and the guests as the great banquet becomes more blooming than it expected after Subaru and Kazuhiro have appeared lately, but given the toast to everyone for the continuous devleopment of the two braveheart groups.

At the table that was occupied by the leading boys of the braveheart groups, Subaru and Kazuhiro have been flanked by Masanori, Takahiro, Akihisa and Tōru as they congratulated the two.

“Congratulations, guys!” said Masanori.

“I’m so proud of the two of you!” said Takahiro.

“You guys have given them a wonderful night to make this event possible!” said Akihisa.

“I like what you represent for your groups and it’s so nice to give them what they have for themselves!” said Tōru.

“Thanks, guys!” said Subaru and Kazuhiro.

“It’s so great that my friends made that idea because my group and his group have known with each other since last week where we met with each other during the birthday of Sarasa” said Subaru.

“Yep! That’s where we started to get close with each other, especially when we cheered for Subaru and his friends in the finals of the Fuchsia and Celadon Dragons Tournament” said Kazuhiro.

“Ah, I see! I’m very impressed with both of your groups getting close with each other to make sure that your members have gotten along with each other” said Masanori.

“I’m very happy to see this because not only that you guys have been known with each other so long, but you and your friends will finally have their chance to collaborate with each other” said Takahiro.

“It will be amazing to see the impact how we did in Fukuoka, but this one would be very different, to be honest” said Akihisa.

“And since the distance between the two groups are far away from each other, it will be better to organize some fantastic activities once the summer break starts” said Tōru.

“Yes, it will have, Tōru-kun, but it depends because we still have a lot of activities to get on with” said Kazuhiro.

“The Interhigh prefectural tournament will take place by next month nationwide, which means that every team had their chance to get an opportunity to qualify to the Interhigh Nationals, which will be held in three months” said Subaru.

“Ah, yes! The Interhigh prefectural tournament will be a challenge for all of us to see who’s worthy to enter to the Interhigh Nationals and this one may be all for marbles to see who will be getting into the Winter Cup early” said Masanori.

“You got that right, Masanori-kun” said Kazuhiro before explaining about the format of the Interhigh tournament. The Interhigh tournament is one of the three major tournaments that have taken place in our country to determine the best teams in the country alongside National Sports Meet and the Winter Cup. The Interhigh tournament will have bigger process through the Interhigh qualifiers. The Interhigh qualifiers will be divided into two phases: (1) the preliminary tournaments and (2) the final league. The preliminary tournaments will be divided into regional tournaments to determine the four block winners going to the final league. Each prefecture will organize a prefectural tournament to determine their representative to the prefectural final league. The final league will be held by the middle of July in various capitals where they will compete against each other for the spots to the actual Interhigh. The Tokyo block will have three spots while bigger prefectures will have two spots and the rest including Hokkaido will have one spot only. They will be contested in round-robin tournament to determent the best teams in the region before advancing to the actual tournament, which will be held by August.”

“The actual Interhigh tournament will take place in the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium with non-stop action being played from the first round until the final. Then, the teams that advanced to the finals will guarantee a spot to the Winter Cup automatically. The big goal for this is to overcome every challenge that they will get earned what they want if they proved to be the best team in the country. The defending champions of the Winter Cup, the Tokai University Kōfu High School, will also enter to the prefectural tournament as well and they have to get past a lot of teams to enter to the actual tournament” said Subaru.

“The Winter Cup will be a battle of all teams to determine the representatives for every prefecture to advance to the main tournament, but sometimes, if a year is a memorial anniversary (i.e., 10th, 20th, 30th, etc.), the tournament will be expanded temporarily to at least 60 teams to make the tournament more interesting with a lot of high school teams that have the best players in the country” said Kazuhiro.

“This year’s Winter Cup will be even contested with a lot of popular schools have the top players, especially that they’re considered college-bound, which results to the tournament will be expanded to at least 60 teams, but depends on how many teams will actually compete” said Subaru.

“So, for now, we’re all gonna focus on the Interhigh qualifiers, so that we should all be prepared to battle for the spots to the main tournament” said Kazuhiro.

“Hopefully, some of us will make it to the main tournament and it will be very important to get themselves earned if they are worthy to beat a lot of teams in the qualifiers” said Subaru.

“Yeah, we can do that!” said Masanori.

“It will be awesome that one of us will make it to the actual Interhigh tournament” said Takahiro.

“This is going to be a war between all of us” said Akihisa.

“I’m sure that everything will be heated when the actual games are on the prefectural tournament” said Tōru.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Subaru and Kazuhiro.

“Oh, that reminds me, there’s one secret that you should know” said Masanori.

“What is it?” asked Subaru.

“You see, the five of us have used to form a union to represent the leaders of the braveheart groups in Fukuoka” said Masanori.

“Wow! No way! You formed that group?!” surprisingly said Subaru.

“Yep! We made a special union known as the Northern Kyushu Braveheart Leaders Circle, which is composed of the leaders of the braveheart groups that have been existed in Fukuoka, Saga and Ōita” said Kazuhiro.

“Our goal is to make the communities in Northern Kyushu grow with better friendship and organize future activities that will make everyone bless and inspire” said Masanori.

“This makes everyone feel motivated to get along with each other during the breaks because that’s where everyone used to meet with each other for a big gathering” said Takahiro.

“This circle became the first to form like that until different union groups being created mostly in Kyushu and western parts of our country in Kansai, Chugoku and Shikoku” said Akihisa.

“We haven’t seen those in the other side of our country as there are some union groups being created, but united at all, in general” said Tōru.

“Ah, I see. Well, I have formed that when I was active in the Dragons of Ōta long time ago where I was associated with different leaders from various groups around Ōta. Also, I had become friends with different braveheart groups such as Tsuyoshi Arakawa of the Bravehearts of Setagaya, Akihiro Akasaki of the Bravehearts of Shinagawa, Yukihiro Nakayama of the Bravehearts of Takanawa, Kōji Hanagata of the Bravehearts of Minato, Yutaro Nakayama of the Bravehearts of Kōtō and Kenji Hachisuka of the Bravehearts of Suginami through an unofficial group known as the Tokyo Mirai Bravehearts Circle” said Subaru.

“Oh, wow! I can’t believe that you have one!” said Kazuhiro.

“Damn! You must be friendly to those guys!” said Masanori.

“That makes me surprised to see that coming!” said Takahiro.

“Yeah! I never expect that there’s a union group existed in your hometown” said Akihisa.

“That is more of a bizarre one, I tell you!” said Tōru.

“Yep! We formed that group at that time when we were in middle school during the middle school prefectural basketball tournament two years ago. We wanted to shine ourselves if we want to make it to the Nationals, but we failed after each of us have been eliminated in the prefectural tournament, especially when my team Kirihara lost to Ryuuichi Suga and his team Shizuno” said Subaru.

“Oh, that’s a shame, Subaru-kun” said Kazuhiro.

“I thought that you’re gonna make it” said Masanori.

“But it seems that you didn’t able to do well though” said Takahiro.

“A lot of young guys want to shine in their way, but they can’t able to do anything to earn themselves” said Akihisa.

“It’s ashamed that you and your allies didn’t make the goal perfectly” said Tōru.

“Yeah, we agree. Even though that it’s an unofficial group, we met with each other sometimes, but hopefully, I might gonna meet them again very soon” said Subaru.

“Ah, that’s good. I hope that you’re gonna reunite with them, so that you’ll be able to revive that group to make it an official group” said Kazuhiro.

“I hope so, Kazuhiro-kun. I mean, I’m not sure about whether that group will be back or not, but due to some other priorities to do, most of us aren’t ready to meet with each other yet. Hopefully, I might gonna ask them to come one day to make it settle” said Subaru.

“Then, I hope that it will work out, Subaru-kun” said Masanori.

“Because in our union group, we have to gather together to make everyone getting some blessings and inspirations to make sure that they’re ready to motivate themselves” said Takahiro.

“That’s when a special bond of friendship between each of us had been made” said Akihisa.

“So, hopefully, it will happen for your group because it’ll be amazing that you will be ready to make new things to run with” said Tōru.

“Just like how we used to run in our hometown. Right, guys?” said Kazuhiro.

“Yeah!” said Masanori, Takahiro, Akihisa and Tōru.

“Well, I’ll do it once everyone is not busy at some time” said Subaru.

“Great! I can’t wait to see what you’ll be planning with your allies about that group and then one day, we can run together for sure!” said Kazuhiro.

“Sure, I would be glad to, Kazuhiro-kun! No doubt about it!” said Subaru.

“Yeah!” said Kazuhiro.

“Speaking of which, what’s next for the two of you? You guys have been together since last week and it seemed to be promising right now” said Masanori.

“Well, we don’t know about our future plans, but we’re expecting to wait for Subaru and his friends to come up with the plan” said Kazuhiro.

“Yep. We still get busy for tomorrow because it’s the concluding day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week, however, we may have something surprise real soon” said Subaru.

“Ah, interesting! I’m surprised that you had something for your groups one day” said Masanori.

“I’m sure that it’s going to be something related to prospering the community” said Takahiro.

“Yeah, but my friends right now are starting on a search to find the former members of the Dragons of Ōta, so that they will convince them to support the possible revival of that group” said Subaru.

“Hmmm… I never heard about that group, to be honest, Subaru-kun, but there’s a similar group like that known as the Water Aerial Dragons, a group that used to prosper people in Nishi Fukuoka with their beliefs of wisdom and luck” said Akihisa.

“Oh, I see! I didn’t know that there’s a group that was compared to the Dragons of Ōta” said Subaru.

“Yep. There are some groups in Fukuoka that are associated to the use of dragons as symbols, but they’re much different when it comes to their representation because a lot of them have adapted the expressive nature and they have recruited some young foreigners that have believed in luck” said Akihisa.

“Fukuoka is the largest city in Kyushu and had used to pair up with sister cities from around the world to boost the exchange student program in high school. Also, it became adapted to elementary and middle school, which is only available to some prestigious schools in our hometown” said Tōru.

“That’s why you’ll be surprised to see a lot of groups in Fukuoka being diverse with people believe in luck while others wanting to bless and inspire their community for better change. It seems that the community groups in Fukuoka have been grown well with their mission to make peace and prosperity in the city” said Masanori.

“Hopefully, they will be able to keep this up, so that they will get earned for themselves for sure” said Takahiro.

“Ah, yes, I agree with that, guys. I’m sure that your hometown will be getting prospered for more with everyone helping with each other to create their future. I love to see those when I visited that one summer ago, but hopefully, it’s going to be fantastic to see them again one day” said Subaru.

“Yeah” said Masanori, Takahiro, Akihisa and Tōru.

“Subaru-kun, I think that if you want to inspire those groups from my hometown like how they used to communicate and develop with each other, maybe, we can have that the same thing” said Kazuhiro.

“That’s a good idea, Kazuhiro-kun. I believe that we should observe each of us first on the appearance by hair color or image color, so that we could match the results on who has the same color with each other” said Subaru.

“That’s it! Miyuki had that idea! She said that she can find and match anyone who has the same color with each other!” said Kazuhiro.

“Whoa! What are you saying?” asked Takahiro.

“I mean, one of our allies had observed us when it comes to color matching. That’s why Miyuki made the Color Matching Synchronizer to determine on who have the same color as the others” said Kazuhiro.

“Ah, I get it. There are a lot of colors out there to find and match, but that’s very phenomenal to use that” said Takahiro.

“Yep. We did that before in our hometown and it would better if I can do that for the Bravehearts of Ōta. That way, his future plan will be getting better to expect” said Kazuhiro.

“Kazuhiro-kun, you’re a genius! I have a plan on that because in our group, we’re very determined to make friends with anyone and we will always work together to make sure that they’ll blessed and inspired for us. And with the search for the former members of the Dragons of Ōta continues, I believe that there will be a co-habitation between my group and and your group” said Subaru.

“Yeah, Subaru-kun! That should explain that to everyone to make sure that we’re gonna start working on developing the friendship between our groups” said Kazuhiro.

“Yeah!” said Subaru.

“I think that your plan will be fantastic to make both groups ready to work together!” said Masanori.

“That plan is good for me and that’s going to boost the campaign for Subaru’s hometown” said Takahiro.

“It seems that you have a fantastic plan in your hands, boys” said Akihisa.

“Hopefully, it will work out for your groups, so that it will be amazing to keep that friendship going up” said Tōru.

“Yeah, we will!” said Subaru and Kazuhiro.

“But in order to do that, you should team up with some of your friends to make up that plan, so that one day, you’re going to share that to everyone on what you’re gonna plan on” said Tōru.

“The co-habitation had been one of the activities that a braveheart group do and hopefully, it will be amazing to make that happen very soon” said Masanori.

“Yeah, we agree, Masanori-kun!” said Subaru and Kazuhiro.

“Our friendship had just developed well, but we’ll make sure that everything will be possible to continue developing this” said Kazuhiro.

“So that, we’ll be able to get it done together!” said Subaru.

“That’s the spirit, boys! I hope that you’re gonna prepare for that one day, so that you’ll start working on that for sure” said Takahiro.

“It will be great to develop the friendship between your groups and hopefully, you’ll be blessed and inspired to get the job done” said Akihisa.

“Yeah!” said Subaru and Kazuhiro.

“I think that we should grab some food for late dinner while celebrating this night. It makes me feel hungry right now” said Subaru.

“Good idea, Subaru-kun! Now, let’s get some food from the food stall!” said Kazuhiro.

“Yeah!” said Masanori, Takahiro, Akihisa and Tōru as they alongside Subaru and Kazuhiro stand up to go to the food stall to get some food for late dinner. It’s so amazing to see the six leading boys getting along with each other because they have their night to enjoy, thus their bonds of friendship had been growing just like how the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka did. Hopefully, they will have their time meet with each other, but it may be impossible to do that because the five leading boys of the bravehearts groups of Fukuoka are coming from Fukuoka while Subaru is from Ōta, which their distances are far away from each other. However, one day, they will be ready to meet with each other again at some point if they are confident that they will be together again.

UP NEXT: Updated Profile of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka

I have posted the profile of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka before when I posted Chapter 162 to cap off the first part of Volume 8, which was dated back last February 5, 2020. However, I realized that I should have followed the tradition of the birthday format of a braveheart group, which means that I have to adjust the birthdays of some members of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, so that it would match with their counterparts from the Bravehearts of Ōta. As a result, here is the updated profile of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, also known as the Bravehearts of Higashi Fukuoka, with the birthdates being fixed and some additional information on some of their members in full color version.

EDIT #1 (7/22): I updated the birthdays of Yasuhisa Yoshida, Norimasa Takasago and Akitoshi Saotome, so that they should also be matched with their counterparts from the Bravehearts of Ōta.

EDIT #2 (8/12): I added another member of the Bravehearts of Fukuoka in Kōsuke Takizawa into this list. He is the leader of the Takizawa Hawks, named after my most favorite team in the NBA, the Atlanta Hawks, and a member of the Blue Verdant Fukuoka.

EDIT #3 (9/26): I changed the surname of Kaori Haraguchi from "Haranaka" to "Haraguchi" to prevent confusion with fellow member Rieko Haranaka. Kaori and Reiko are not related with each other due to them being represented by their own schools: the Kashii Gakuen Middle School for Kaori and Matsushima Elementary School for Reiko.

Bravehearts of Fukuoka: Composed of four groups
Blue Verdant Fukuoka: Kazuhiro Hatakenaka, Masayo Hirayama, Naruhisa Yahagi, Kenta Saeki, Natsuko Kurosawa, Junko Tomioka, Seiichi Kitagawa, Fumitaka Uesugi, Masaki Takasago, Arisa Furihata, Genta Tsujimoto and Kōsuke Takizawa

A Special Message from Ayumu Uehara

Hi, everyone! This is Ayumu Uehara of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and you’re all excited for the second part of the postscript message special about the relationship between my school idol group, the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, and the Bravehearts of Minato. If you read the previous update, the Bravehearts of Minato have been very closed to me and Shizuku due to two ways: (1) some of them is a relative of either me or Shizuku and (2) others have been associated to the two of us by living in Odaiba or its neighboring areas. For the first reason, you saw my cousins Shinako Takanashi, Azusa Uehara, Mio Kayama and Maika Kayama as well as Hinako Ōsaka, the cousin of my fellow club member Shizuku Ōsaka, being part of that braveheart group because they have been comfortable to be with their fellow groupmates and they have been very close to them at the same time. Also, Shinako was a close friend of Kōji because he helped her to shine her basketball career as she had very dazzling to show her smile and courage to make herself comfortable to play for a good game. It’s so great for them to be part of the Bravehearts of Minato whether being a relative of me or Shizuku because they are very determined to bloom and gleam with their fellow groupmates as they will make their community shine for sure. On the other hand, the other reason is some of them have been associated to us by living in Odaiba or its neighboring areas. The qualification is that they have lived in any area whether they’re coming from Odaiba or any areas near to it such as Aomi and Toyosu, which is me, Shizuku and Yu Takasaki used to live as neighbors. In other words, some of the members of the Bravehearts of Minato are born or raised in these areas, which means that they’re qualified of joining that group through direct invitation or personal desire. For example, Ruriko and Yasue lived in Daiba while Nanako and Fuyumi lived in Aomi. Shōhei also lived in Aomi, which his home is a few meters away from Ai Miyashita’s home. It was so nice to see those members that have been part of that braveheart group as they are very proud of their hometown that they have the desire to bless and inspire there. Some other members of the Bravehearts of Minato have lived elsewhere other than Odaiba and its neighboring areas, thus they’re not part of a special circle, which my cousin Shinako created to represent those that supported me and Shizuku for our school idol club whether they will cheer or smile for us. At the end of the day, anyone in the Bravehearts of Minato can represent their hometown through pride and harmony as they are ready to bless and inspire there for sure. I hope that you will remember all of this because it feels great that those member of that braveheart group will always there to cheer for their community as they are here to make their future more blooming and more harmonious. Anyway, there is one more postscript message that will be related to the previous update that the author posted as that one will be focused on the circle that I mentioned earlier, which will be all explained by Setsuna Yūki. Hopefully, you’re all hyped on this because this will be more of an explanatory lecture about how my cousins have been friends with Hinako and the other associates in that circle. Anyway, if you’re prepared to see this, then mark that day, July 25 (Sunday), on your calendar, so that you’re ready to witness all of this to know more about that for sure! Until then, I’ll see you next time for another side chapter that will feature me and my fellow club members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and keep making your dreams come true, everyone!

UP NEXT: Supplementary 25: “The Community Groups of Ōta and Sports” [Special 2020 Summer Olympics Update]

The leaders of the six braveheart groups have enjoyed their night to celebrate the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka as they have been in common with each other due to their expressive and ambitious personalities that they wanted to shine their community in making their future getting brighter. They always show their smiles to everyone as they want to lead their braveheart groups, so that they will bless and inspire everyone as long as they will continue developing the friendship with their allies. It’s going to be fantastic that they have shined their braveheart groups because they have the three principles of the bravehearts (pride, courage and willpower) to make them feel happy and uplifted for sure! When Subaru and Kazuhiro have their speech in appreciating their braveheart groups, they have been very exhilarated that everyone is here to celebrate their friendship and thus, they have been harmonious to show their smiles to the leaders. It feels great that the leaders have shown their courageous and bravest ways to make sure that they will always be there to bless and inspire in a braveheart’s way. Hopefully, the boys will continue to lead their braveheart groups, so that they will make them feel happy to develop their friendship as one family of bravehearts.:) Now that the fourth highlight update had been posted, the fourth anniversary of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts had continued to gleam, bloom and shine as I have been posting the highlighted updates, so that these will be more of a special celebration to make the series continues to grow as the worldbuilding of this universe continues to expand once more.

SUPPLMENTARY 25: The Community Groups in Ōta and Sports

THE COMMUNITY GROUPS IN ŌTA AND SPORTS

When Ōta was founded as part of the merger between Ōmori and Kamata, Ōta begin to compete in sports by representing their own teams in different sporting competitions around the city. Ōta is one of the wards that is considered the largest due to its population and they have a lot of community groups being made, which is why they used to get heated confrontations in different competitions not only sports but in academics and arts. However, when it comes to sports, the community groups in Ōta are considered stronger due to their relentless and strong development in training, which they have been successful in different competitions. Nowadays, with the Ōta Sports League was created, it became more competitive for every team to fight, but one day, one of them will be walking away as victors. Sportsmanship is the key to give respect with each other and there will always be winners to get earned with. With the boost of leisure and sports in Ōta, everything had been changed with a lot of teams have clashed against each other to challenge themselves to represent themselves in higher competitions. These local competitions in Ōta were different compared to school sporting competitions because it gives everyone their motivation to represent your team and then, you have to unleash your goal, so that one day, you will end up rallying your team to a championship.

The history of the community groups in Ōta when it comes to sports would trace back to the early 1950s when the first local baseball competition took place in 1955 when nine teams from different districts, composed of Ōmori, Iriarai, Magome, Ikegami, Higashi-Chōfu, Yaguchi, Rokugō, Kamata and Haneda, have competed against each other for the crown, which was won by Ōmori, who had defeated Magome in a very close game. A few years later, soccer and basketball competitions would be held to determine their representatives as well. Sporting competitions at the time during the Showa era is nothing interesting at that moment before Tokyo had decided to organize its first citywide sporting competition known as the Tokyo Friendship Games in 1964 to commemorate their hosting of the 1964 Summer Olympics. Ōta would finally send their representatives to the Games as they are composed of athletes in between 20s and 30s with some of them have been stronger, thanks to their development in the amateur leagues, and they have shown enough to earn themselves. The Tokyo Friendship Games had been held every year during the month of October to celebrate the Sports Day and brought a lot of athletes who have to stepped up in developing themselves to become the greatest.

While the Tokyo Friendship Games was had been held every year, Ōta had also organized the qualifiers to determine their representatives for the Games in different sports, which they have been contested compared to the local competitions due to a lot of famous teams being recognized every year. On the other hand, the youth in Ōta had wanted to get attention to those if they want to get themselves earned for the Tokyo Friendship Games, but it may be tough to accomplish until in the year 1992 when the Planet Ikegami had done the unimaginable to become the youngest soccer team to advance the Tokyo Friendship Games in history. The Planet Ikegami was led by a former soccer wing player in Tatsuya Sugayama and its roster is composed of mostly third year high school students from the Nittai Ebara High School, but a few of them were only just freshmen in college. Planet Ikegami would never be forgotten as one of the historic teams that have made it to the Tokyo Friendship Games as one of the youngest teams in the soccer competitions where they have won only one game, but failed to advance to the knockout tournament.

A few years later in 1994, a group of sporting organizers and businessmen have decided to set up a brand new sporting league known as the Ōta Sports League. The Ōta Sports League is a sporting league that was open to every community team and available to almost all sports except for the individual ones. One of the most prestigious leagues under that is the basketball competition where it features a lot of competitive teams with so many famous players that ended up going to the amateur leagues, but some have ended up in the lower professional leagues at some point. The basketball competition in the Ōta League is considered the best, according to the fans and business people in Ōta, because it gives some hype to the crowd on who will they will cheer on and it had been very popular in Ōta since then. The baseball and soccer competitions were also popular as well, although they almost matched with the basketball competition because the attention was not much bigger compared to that, but they have seen gems that would later make it to the bigger leagues later on.

The basketball competition in the Ōta League had been watched by not only the young audience, but also coming from different groups such as basketball fans and amateur players, because they have seen the hype in those competitions to see who the best basketball team is. They organize invitational tournaments as qualifiers to determine the teams to compete at the Ōta League Cup. Recently, with a few people suggested to add a few tournaments that will take place in southern Ōta such as Haginaka and Tamagawa, things would be getting interesting to see a chance for the expansion of teams in the Ōta League Cup, which means that there will be more teams to compete in the main tournament, so that they will have their chance to shine in hoping to get earned for themselves.

Right before the rise of the Bravehearts of Ōta, there are different teams that have been recognized as teams to beat in the Ōta League and other local competitions such as the teams of the Dragons of Ōta, the Red and Green Storm, the Yoshida Flaming Dragons and the Ikegami Bubble Carp. The teams of the Dragons of Ōta are once the strongest teams when it comes to basketball competitions where its leader Noboru Takeuchi and his friends have made strong performances for three straight years before they finally broke their streak last year due to the disbandment of the Dragons of Ōta and a lot of their members have competed with their own representation. Most popular teams such as have made bigger success in running the league, especially in the Iriarai Invitationals, which is why a lot of different community groups have been afraid of them in the past until last year when they were finally dethroned in the semifinals. Ever since its disbandment, the former teams are still unstoppable as they’re a force to reckon with because they still have stronger plays and unorthodox skills that they never seen before. Right now, with the rumors of their possible revival being circulated around Ōta, it seems that there might be a chance for them to return to the Ōta League to represent for the Dragons of Ōta, but only time will tell if they are ready to take back the group that run for nearly five years as this year may be very different than how they have before in the past three years.

When the Dragons of Ōta was dissolved, several community groups started to rise up where their names have been recognized such as the Luminous Camellia, the Pink and Plum, the Neverwind Four, the Ōtsuka-Yukigaya Shooters Club, the Vermillion Rising Nishina, the Blue Raid Ikegami, the Tamagawa Road Warriors and the Ōmori Blessed Saints as they have been able to shine, so that they have to win sporting competitions as they have proved themselves to be dominant. However, with this year being the rise of the Bravehearts of Ōta, who have recently sent their groups and allies to compete in the Ōmori Invitationals, everything will be more competitive to see a bigger change in sporting competitions in Ōta, which means that things are about to be interesting as everyone in Ōta will watch out for them this year, especially when they have their best and productive players to step up.

The Ōta Sports League had also organized competitions for other sports such as baseball, soccer, badminton, table tennis and volleyball with more than 200 teams competing for the qualifiers before narrowing down to at least 40 teams in the main tournament, so that they will send them to major competitions that took place in different seasons. In soccer, Tamagawa and Chōfu teams have been shining in their way, especially some sleepers from Kamata such as the Kamatahonchō FC and the Kamata Rainbows, which is why they have taken everyone on notice as they are striving for greatness to make themselves earned to win a championship. In baseball, a lot of teams in Ōmori have been able to produce their best players, especially from the Nittai Ebara High School and the Ōmori Gakuen High School. They’re looking forward to have a brighter future to make sure that they’ll be ready to shine for their teams. Overall, teams in Kamata and Ōmori are considered the best in winning competitions in the Ōta Sports League because they have been able to produce good players that they’ll be able to rise themselves into the real game, especially in basketball where Noboru Takeuchi and his fellow friends from the former Dragons of Ōta have been doing great in running their place for three years.

When it comes to youth prefectural competitions in Tokyo, the community teams in Ōta have tried their best to get themselves earned in winning those, but a few teams have been accomplished that feat with the most is in basketball where they represented three teams to youth championships. The first is in 1992 when the Ōta Shinsengumi had defeated the Nakagami Elites of Shibuya in the final by a blowout win, 79-50. The Shinsengumi is led by Takahiro Enomoto and Wataru Matsumoto, who have just become rising stars in college to send them to the All-Japan Youth Basketball Championship. It would be followed by the Hasegawa Star in 1998 where the youngest brother of Ginga Hasegawa in Takuya Hasegawa had shined his way to help his team defeating the Kitazawa Timberwolves, 68-63. Takuya is the uncle of Subaru Hasegawa, the leader of the Bravehearts of Ōta, and is active in basketball as he is currently playing for the Kōtō Starlights in the Tokyo Regional League Division 1. Another team that made that feat recently is in 2006 when the Blue Renegades of Kugahara have defeated the Kobayashi Flames, a team based in Shinagawa, 75-64, thanks to the resilient performance by Kunihisa Takayama, Seishirō Okamoto and Tsunehisa Yanagisawa. On the other hand, at least 1 team had won other sporting competitions in baseball and soccer where in baseball, the Ikegami Jokers won the Tokyo Baseball Cup in 1974, becoming the only team in Ōta to win that competition, while the Planet Ikegami had won two straight titles from 1992 to 1993 while holding the only record for the largest blowout game when they trashed the Adachi Blazers, 15-0, in the first round in 1993. It feels great for them to show their pride and courage for the people of Ōta, so that they will be able to dominate the competition through strength and willpower because they have been doing a great job in making them stronger and better. They will never forget that moment because it’s their time to shine and by the end of the day, they will be blessed and inspired when they have accomplished their goals in winning those competitions.

Meanwhile, women in Ōta have also become big points in making sports their interesting hobby as they have also made themselves earned when they have represented for their hometown. In basketball, only two teams in Ōta have won the women’s tournament of the Tokyo Invitationals Basketball Championship in the Peach and Maroon Slashes (1993) and the Kamata Bloom (2008). The former had defeated the Ōsaki Lady Panthers of Shinagawa, 82-81, in overtime while the latter had defeated the Tatsumi Red Demons of Meguro, 69-62. They also produced volleyball players in Ōta with four teams winning the Tokyo Invitationals Volleyball Championship with the recent one was in 2002 when the Yotsuba Marauders, led by Minori Yotsuba, the cousin of Nana Yotsuba, had defeated the Takanawa Verdants, 2-1. In soccer, they have found 3 teams winning the Tokyo Cup including the Kamata Skylarks, who have led their way to the championship game in 2005 when they beat the Ueno Lady Eagles, 3-1. Like the men’s teams, those women’s team have been doing great as well because they have shown their teamwork to get things with and they have been able to prove themselves that they are good in taking care of the tournament for themselves.

As it entered the new decade in the 2010s, everyone is ready to take the challenge in trying to prove themselves worthy in competing for the championship and they’re ready to show their strength and prowess to shine, so that they will be able to win competitions for sure. They know how to represent for their hometown through their hearts and that’s why they’re feeling confident that they will do their best to make themselves better and have some respect to their opponents. With the beginning of the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon had just begun, the community teams in Ōta are finally ready to show up through their mind and hustle as they’re ready to fight themselves for the bigger competitions that they will be eyeing with. Everyone is looking forward to see a bigger change ever since a lot of new teams have been able to get their attention to the people of Ōta that they’re ready to take over and that’s why they will do whatever it takes to win. By the end of the day, they’re ready to bless themselves in making sure that they are proving like the way it should be.

A Special Message from Setsuna Yūki

Hi, everyone! This is Setsuna Yūki of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and you’re all excited for the third and final part of the postscript message special about the relationship between my school idol group, the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, and the Bravehearts of Minato. As what Ayumu said in the last postscript message, I’m going to explain about a special circle of friends that are composed of Shinako, Hinako and the other members of the Bravehearts of Minato that supported my fellow club members Ayumu and Shizuku of our school idol club. The origin of this is when Shinako and Hinako have become the first members of the Bravehearts of Minato alongside their friends that have been part of the Hanzōsen Elementary School girls’ basketball team before that braveheart group being expanded with new members from one to another. The name of that circle known as the Dream Pink and Aqua Group because they named it after the main colors of Ayumu and Shizuku and their common goal is to develop a good friendship between each other as they want to be close with each other not only as members of the Bravehearts of Minato, but members of that said group. Aside from Shinako, Azusa, Maika and Hinako, who were originally known as the ‘Dream Four’, Ruriko and Yasue have joined that group as well because they were both closed to Shinako and Hinako before being followed by Naoki Sunama, Kōsuke Higashide, Toshikazu Aramaki, Sae Sekine, Nanako Uekusa, Fuyumi Miyagawa, Akihisa Sōma and Shōhei Mizunuma. They have been able to show their determination to become friends with Ayumu and Shizuku as they wanted to be like them in creating their dreams to anyone. Maika’s sister Mio and Chiaki are associates to that circle because they were also close to both Ayumu and Shizuku, but since they’re coming high school, they will act as associates. They also have their own circle to create known as the Rainbow Thrill, composed of students that are very close to Ayumu and Shizuku, especially their relatives. They have the same goal as the Dream Pink and Aqua Group and of course, they want to be motivated in helping their friends and allies to make themselves thrill. Other notable members of that group are Shun Ōsaka, Kumiko Mizusawa and Seijirō Iwami. Those two groups have been more of a friendly group that make everyone thrill with their own ways to make sure that they will develop their friendship with them for sure! Another thing that you find more interesting is that both Dream Pink and Aqua Group and Rainbow Thrill are very allied with different community groups that have supported Ayumu and Shizuku. Groups like the Thrilling Tear, the Gleaming Rose, the Aomi Dream Section and the Daiba Smile have used to partner with them after the Bravehearts of Minato was formed, which means that they have been able to create their bonds of friendship, so that they will be able to bloom, gleam and shine together through their hopes and dreams. There are a lot of special circle groups that have been made in Minato and Kōtō as well as in Shibuya and most of the western Chiba, which means that they are thrilled to make their members very close with each other, so that they will continue developing their friendship with a bloom. I hope that you will remember this because it’s full of thrills and joys to make them delighted and uplifted when the special circle groups are working together through courage and determination. Hopefully, me and my fellow club members will be ready to collaborate with them, so that we will be able to bloom, gleam and shine with them for sure! Until then, I’ll see you next time on a future update that will feature me and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and keep us shine and smile, everyone!

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 59: “The Azuma Boys’ Bash at the Beach”

This special update is more of an abridged summary of how the community groups in Ōta have developed themselves when it comes to sports because I want to make the history of it something informational, so that this one will be very interesting on what happened in the community teams in Ōta in the past. Now that this year is the beginning of the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon, there will a lot of expectations to witness bigger changes to come to the rise of the Bravehearts of Ōta, led by Subaru Hasegawa, a former member of the Dragons of Ōta and now the captain of the Nashiba High School boys’ basketball team. So far, sports in Ōta had been growing ever since a lot of community groups have stepped up to represent for their hometown and that’s why it became the pinnacle of bringing sportsmanship to not only their opponents, but to everyone else who had been cheering for them whether they’re from Ōta or not. Hopefully, it’s going to be fantastic to see everyone gearing up to shine, so that they will make themselves earned to win competitions this year through their blessed hearts and heartened teamwork.:) Now, to be honest, this special update gives me something that I want to honor for the athletes all over the world that are currently competing in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo because they want to play hard to represent their nations and they will have their good game for themselves whether they’re competing in individual or team competitions that have played for. As the 2020 Summer Olympics had been ongoing, it’s going to be fantastic to bring this event something blooming and harmonious and hopefully, they will have a successful Olympics this year, despite the COVID-19 concerns and push for the cancellation by critics. I also hope that the Filipinos will finally get a chance to win the gold medal this year because they will do whatever it takes to show their pride and willpower to represent for us. So, good luck to all athletes all over the world to take the center stage at the 2020 Summer Olympics!:) Before I will wrap this up, I’m going to reveal my plans for a future omake to be written by the end of the year 2021. Get ready because I’ll be explaining this right now!:)

For this year’s planned omake, I was thinking about a boys-focused update where the leaders of the braveheart groups in Tokyo except Subaru Hasegawa, who was very busy at that time when organizing the Fuchsia and Fuchsia and Celadon Week with the Bravehearts of Ōta, because I want to give them something special when they used to get along with each other right before the formation of the braveheart groups in Tokyo. Maybe, I could do a flashback on how they work with each other when they competed in an exhibition tournament in the past. That’s where I want to reveal their secrets on how they have gotten with each other on their first meeting before creating their bonds of friendship. I also want to plan on how they have started their basketball careers when they were little as well as how they have made themselves earned in being the best players in Tokyo Metropolis. The setup of this idea is where they were all playing basketball at the Aomi Urban Sports Park, the current venue for the 3x3 tournaments of basketball at the 2020 Summer Olympics, before they will have their conversation to start with. Although Subaru won’t be there because he’s very busy with his fellow groupmates from the Bravehearts of Ōta, he will be joining through a video call by one of the leaders of the braveheart groups in Tokyo. On top of that, I will also work on their future plans when they will meet each other soon by summer. Hopefully, it’s going to be very fantastic to read when I’m finishing this draft in the future, but for now, this is just a plan to work on very soon.;) I’ll give you an update on this future omake very soon once it reaches the month of December, so that you’re gonna see what’s going on in the progress of this one.:) Now that I have finished explaining this, I’m going to tell you about the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts.

Hi, everyone!:) I just came off busy most of the morning because I recently got the second dose to get myself vaccinated for COVID-19.;) It’s almost a month that I have to get it and I was able to stay healthy prior to it, which means that I might have a chance to go out and visit any place that I want, but I still have to stay in my home to prevent myself getting contacted with the COVID-19. Like I said last month, I’ll save that for the future if I want to get an opportunity to meet and community with my friends very soon. As always, let’s keep fighting against COVID-19 by following the safety guidelines on how to stay safe from that virus, so that you’re all good to be safe!;) Also, it’s been history in the making for our Filipino athletes as last July 26 (Monday), weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz had finally won the Women’s -55 kg event in the weightlifting competition at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, thus ending the quest of searching for its first gold medal in Olympic history for 97 years.:eek: Last five years ago, in Rio de Janeiro, Diaz settled for silver medal in the Women’s -53 kg event, which was won by the dethroned gold medalist Liao Qiuyun of China, and now, she finally got herself earned to win the gold medal after winning two gold medals in 2018 Asian Games in Palembang, Indonesia and 2019 Southeast Asian Games in Clark, Philippines.

Enjoy reading the 59th side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 59: “THE AZUMA BOYS’ BASH AT THE BEACH

Date: May 1, 2010 (Saturday)

This side chapter is focused on Shōjirō Fukuhara as he and his friends are having a Golden Week vacation in a private beach in Numazu with his fellow male classmates in a boys’ all day out break.

The male students of the section 1-7 of the Shimizu Sōgō Middle School are travelling to Numazu to take their all day out vacation for one day in a private beach in Awashima Island. As a result, Shōjirō and his friends won’t be with Shizuku Hidaka and Shimizu Red Sun for a while as they want to take a relaxing break in Numazu with his classmates.

Shōjirō Fujihara and Friends: Shōjirō Fujihara, Gentarō Date, Jirō Ishiyama, Katsunosuke Miyauchi, Rentarō Saitō, Daisuke Esaka and Akihiro Wakai
Other Male Classmates of Shōjirō Fujihara: Mitsugi Tono, Naruyuki Tanaka, Seishirō Kagawa, Ryūhei Ibusuki, Yoshifumi Ōishi, Masayuki Sugiyama, Hiroki Hayashi, Shinzō Takamoto, Riki Muramoto, Shinsuke Aonuma, Naoki Nishikawa and Kotarō Moriya


Shōjirō asks his friends while observing the environment of a private beach. “So, guys, how’s this place?”

“Yeah, it’s good, Shōjirō-san!” said Gentarō Date.

“Now that’s what I called a paradise!” said Jirō Ishiyama.

“The water is fine!” said Katsunosuke Miyauchi.

“And it’s the perfect place to swim!” said Rentarō Saitō.

“Yep! This is going to be best day in our lives, boys, now that we have entered middle school. Don’t you think?” said Shōjirō.

“Yeah!” said the friends of Shōjirō and the other male students of class section 1-7.

“Now, let’s this all day out break started!” said Shōjirō.

“Yeah!” said the friends of Shōjirō and the other male students of class section 1-7 as Shōjirō and his friends would start setting up their foods and drinks while the rest would enjoy playing with the water.

Ten minutes later, Shōjirō would pick up a volleyball from his bag before shouting to his friends. “Let’s play some volleyball right here!”

“Yeah!” said the friends of Shōjirō and the other male students of class section 1-7 as they are ready to play volleyball with Shōjirō. Shōjirō’s favorite sport is volleyball, which means that he started to learn that sport since elementary school.

Shōjirō would divide his friends into separate groups before they’ll play volleyball together. The boys would start enjoy playing volleyball as they have been doing great since they learned the moves in PE class before and some of them have been good enough to play hard.

In one scene, Shōjirō, Gentarō, Jirō, Katsunosuke, Rentarō and Daisuke have faced off against Mitsugi Tono, Naruyuki Tanaka, Seishirō Kagawa, Ryūhei Ibusuki, Yoshifumi Ōishi, Masayuki Sugiyama in a 6-on-6 match after three rounds of 3-on-3 matches in one hour.

This friendly match had been decisive as both teams have gone back and forth with Shōjirō and Ryūhei being good at volleyball because they have learned to play volleyball and they should have been worthy if they will be joining the varsity team, but they declined though.

Shōjirō spiked the ball hard before Ryūhei retaliates it back with a swift. Then, Rentarō and Daisuke exchange their positions before Daisuke hit the ball with both hands. As the ball is about to land on his side, Mitsugi takes the volley to squat it to the other side of the court. Rentarō retaliates it with his own arm as the ball is about to go back to Mitsugi’s, but Yoshifumi takes it back further.

Jirō volleys the ball with his own hands before sending the ball flying to the other side of the court. Naruyuki had to volley it in return, thus the ball would go to the other side of the court. This time, Gentarō takes his ball to squat the ball back to Mitsugi’s. Mitsugi’s team have retaliated with their own defense while Seishirō takes control of the ball with the volley.

Katsunosuke volleys the ball while using his flaexible legs to prevent the ball from hitting the court and once again, the ball goes back to Mitsugi’s. Masayuki jumps high while volleying the ball before Shōjirō takes his turn to squat the ball further. Ryūhei responds it with another volley, but Rentarō spikes the ball hard with his right hand, sending the ball to Mitsugi’s again. When the ball is about to reach at Mitsugi’s, Mitsugi have volleyed the ball with both hands before Daisuke takes it back with another squat.

Things are getting intense between both sides after Daisuke did his move as both Shōjirō’s team and Mitsugi’s team went back and forth with volleys and squats gone everywhere. When Masayuki jumps high to attack the ball with both hands, Shōjirō would spike the ball away real hard before Ryūhei missed the chance of retaliating with it, thus giving the score to Shōjirō’s team.

“Wow! You must be good in that sport, Shōjirō-san! I never thought that you’re very good in attacking the ball with your moves” said Ryūhei Ibusuki, a first year middle school student from the Shimizu Sōgō Middle School.

“Yep. I’m getting stronger with my flexible moves getting better at it” said Shōjirō.

“Oh, okay. I see what you’re doing out there earlier, but I’m going tense too!” said Ryūhei.

“Really?” queried Shōjirō.

“Yep!” said Ryūhei.

“Okay, then, let’s see who gets the last laugh, Ryūhei!” said Shōjirō.

“Sure, I would be glad to!” said Ryūhei while grinning on his face, not much of a creepy smile.

The match continues with both Shōjirō’s team and Mitsugi’s team battle against each other again, but this time, it became heated as expected with only Shōjirō and Ryūhei have the show to get on with. Both Shōjirō and Ryūhei have shown their moves as they have strong IQ to attack the ball to defend their court. It fought hard between them as they share the scores each until Shōjirō’s team starting to rally back.

Shōjirō and his teammates would take command on scoring a lot, putting down the defense of Mitsugi’s team. It wouldn’t last for long when Mitsugi’s team finally scores a point to stave off a possible loss for them. However, it was too late for them as Shōjirō’s team takes the set point in the first set with the score, 15-12.

In the second set, both teams have clashed with each other again, but this time, Ryūhei’s team takes control of the first 4 points, which was quickly ended with Shōjirō’s team getting the first point. Shōjirō’s team continues to get rolling, despite their opponents are lucky enough to defend their court. As the score was still at Mitsugis team, Shōjirō’s team would come up of a big plan to take it back, which it paid off before it was tied at 11.

Mitsugi’s team would take a point with a spike by Ryūhei before Shōjirō’s team grabs two points to regain the lead, but Mitsugi’s team became too much for Shōjirō’s team, thus ending the second set to tie the match. This leads to the deciding set to determine the winner of this match.

As the third set is about to start, Shōjirō talks to his boys, Gentarō, Jirō, Katsunosuke, Rentarō and Daisuke, about what to plan for the third and deciding set.

“Okay, boys! We need to get tight on their defense, so that we can immobolize them. That way, we will be able to attack the ball back further away” said Shōjirō.

“But you said that Ryūhei is very good in attacking the ball, Shōjirō. Do you think that we can fight back?” said Genjirō.

“Yes, we could. We should defend our court, so that we can’t let the ball going to our side, which will cost a point” said Shōjirō.

“Oh, I see. Well, we could definitely need our defense fight it back, so that we will be able to score one, right?” said Gentarō.

“Yep” said Shōjirō.

“We could keep an eye on Ryūhei and his team because they’re pretty good, but we could handle that out if we have performed well in the third set” said Jirō.

“They’re lucky enough to score the point, but we should be more confident to take things further away if we can watch this match” said Katsunosuke.

“Exactly! We’re definitely gonna walk away with the win if we will fight it back to score. Right, guys?” said Shōjirō.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Gentarō, Jirō, Katsunosuke, Rentarō and Daisuke.

“Then, let’s finish this game with a nail-bitting win!” said Shōjirō.

“Yes, man!” said Gentarō, Jirō, Katsunosuke, Rentarō and Daisuke.

The match resumes with the third set getting started. This time, it was Shōjirō and his teammates getting the lead this time, despite the hassles from Ryūhei and his team. They continue to maintain it to defend their court, so that they will continue to keep the lead. However, Ryūhei doesn’t want to give up yet by leading his team to score 5 straight points from 12-5 to 12-10.

“I’m not gonna get easy on you because my team will about to take over this court again!” said Ryūhei.

“Well, you have strongs words to defend for your team, but let’s see if you can get past on me” said Shōjirō.

“Okay, then! Let’s get it on!” said Ryūhei.

“Yeah!” said Shōjirō.

Both teams would go back and forth again as they have been battling against each other for a point. Mitsugi’s team takes one as they’re about to tie the game, but Shōjirō’s team retliates it with their own point. Mitsugi’s team rallies their way to score it back, thus the score is 13-12. Then, there goes the intense part where both teams are on fire again.

Naruyuki volleys the ball with his hands before Gentarō fights it back with his own volley to take the ball back to Mitsugi’s. Seishirō hits the ball with his valley straight to the other side of the court before Katsunosuke gets his spot to volley the ball for Shōjirō’s team. The ball would go back to Mitsugi’s team, but this time, Masayuki volleys the ball quickly. Shōjirō retaliates it before Ryūhei spikes the ball hard so quickly. Daisuke spikes the ball too fast that sends the ball out of bounds, thus the score is now tied at 13.

“Don’t worry, boys! We keep fighting until we will get that win, okay?” said Shōjirō.

“Okay!” said Gentarō, Jirō, Katsunosuke, Rentarō and Daisuke.

Once again, both teams would battle for a point after the tiebreaker, but this time, Shōjirō take the spike hard, but Ryūhei retailiates it. However, Rentarō takes care of the ball with his own volley, thus sending the ball away to the other side of the court. Yoshifumi would spike the ball hard, which the ball is about to hit on Jirō’s face.

“Watch out, Jirō!” shouted Shōjirō as he tries to let Jirō get away from the ball. Jirō would quckly dodge out of his way while the ball hits out of bounds, thus Shōjirō’s team regain the lead once again.

“Wow! Nice dodge out there, Jirō!” said Rentarō.

“You almost kiss our court goodbye!” said Daisuke.

“Uh... I almost freaked out when that guy spiked hard away” said Jirō.

“Well, you should watch out for that, Jirō. You might gonna get hurt” said Genjirō.

“Yeah, I know” said Jirō.

“But it’s okay, boys! We’re gonna win this match right now! Katsunosuke will about to go for the win” said Shōjirō.

“Yeah!” said Gentarō, Jirō, Rentarō and Daisuke. Katsunosuke smiles while holdingh the ball.

“I’ll make sure that this one is for the win, Shōjirō!” said Katsunosuke.

“Yeah, for sure!” said Shōjirō.

Katsunosuke spikes the ball before Masayuki volleys the ball with his own hands. Then, Shōjirō rallies it back and same thing goes to Ryūhei as both guys have worked hard to defend their court at the same time. Rentarō takes his turn to volley the ball and then, Yoshifumi takes it back with the volley.

“I’ll take this!” said Daisuke as he uses both hands to squat the ball, sending back to Mitsugi’s. Jirō was surprised to see Daisuke defending the court for him.

Mitsugi takes the ball with the squat, but this time, Jirō smashes the ball real hard as it’s about to go to out of bounds.

“Fight it back, boys!” shouted Mitsugi to his teammates. Naruyuki was able to save it and sends the ball back to Shōjirō’s. However, it’s not over yet for Shōjirō’s team as Gentarō was able to volley the ball with both hands to make sure that the ball will be going back to Mitsugi’s. Although they’re tired from one play to another, Mitsugi and his teammates can’t give up yet as Seishirō take the ball to volley it out.

Katsunosuke goes the hustle to volley the ball quickly to prevent the ball from hitting to the court.

“Whoa! That was too fast!” said Rentarō.

“It ain’t hard though” said Daisuke.

Masayuki retaliates it with another volley before sending the ball to Shōjirō’s, but Shōjirō shouts while going for the volley. “Not on my watch, boys!”

When Shōjirō volleys the ball back to Mitsugi’s side, Ryūhei spikes the ball hard away to make sure that Shōjirō’s team will miss it and the point will about to go to his team, but Jirō doesn’t want to give up now as he rallys the ball with the hustle.

“What was that?!” shouted Ryūhei.

“They’re defending themselves! Fight it back, boys!” said Mitsugi.

“Okay!” said Naruyuki, Seishirō, Ryūhei, Yoshifumi and Masayuki as they’re about to fight it back with a volley. Yoshifumi takes the ball to volley it out before Rentarō retaliates it in return.

“You want some, then you have one!” said Rentarō while volleying the ball to send it to Mitsugi’s.

Naruyuki returns the favor to volley the ball and once again, the ball will about to go back to Shōjirō’s.

Just then, Daisuke finally prepares this way as he’s going to spike the ball high. “I’ll show you how it’s done!” Daisuke would jump high before using both hands to squat the ball away to send it back to Mitsugi’s. Mitsugi retaliates it, but it sends the ball to out of bounds, giving Shōjirō’s team a match point of the match, which means that they will win the match.

Both teams have congratulated with each other after a close fight against each other.

“Great game, boys!” said Mitsugi.

“Yeah, you too, Mitsugi-san” said Shōjirō.

“You’re a great one, Shōjirō!” said Ryūhei.

“You and your team are so good!” said Naruyuki.

“Of course, boys! We’re a very good team to run the place because we’re good to make it. Right, boys?” said Shōjirō.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Gentarō, Jirō, Katsunosuke, Rentarō and Daisuke.

Akihiro Wakai shouts to everyone as he finished cooking some steak and vegetables. “Lunch is ready!”

“Okay, Akihiro-san! We’re ready to eat!” said Shōjirō.

“Sure!” said Akihiro.

“Okay, boys, let’s have some lunch together!” said Shōjirō.

“Yeah!” said the friends of Shōjirō and the other male students of class section 1-7.

Later, Shōjirō and his friends would eat their lunch together with steak and vegetables being served on the plater. They have been happy to eat their lunch at the beach after playing volleyball. After that, Shōjirō, Genjirō, Jirō, Mitsugi, Naruyuki, Seishirō and Ryūhei are relaxing themselves while looking at their friends playing in the water.

“Ah, that was the best day off that I have ever had, Shōjirō!” said Mitsugi.

“It made me feel good to stay here” said Naruyuki.

“I’m glad that you booked this for us” said Seishirō.

“Which makes us feel joyful to have a vacation with you” said Ryūhei.

“Yeah, I agree, boys. My dad had allowed me to book this because the pricing of this place is a little cheaper, compared to the others and I want to spend a little vacation in Numazu to relax myself” said Shōjirō.

“Oh, I see. I didn’t know that you have a dad that worked hard, so that he can do it for you to grant your wish” said Mitsugi.

“I didn’t know about your dad at first, but he’s blessed, I tell you” said Naruyuki.

“Yes, he was. I’m surprised that he gave me the money that I need, so that I can book this for you all” said Shōjirō.

“Ah, that’s cool, Shōjirō! You’re so proud of your father because he did a great job to make this happen” said Mitsugi.

“I always trust your father because he’s very confident to take care of you and your family for sure” said Naruyuki.

“Yes, he is, boys. I always respect him and he can do anything to make my family feel happy to have him” said Shōjirō.

“Well, good for you!” said Mitsugi.

“I’m happy to see that, Shōjirō!” said Naruyuki.

“I’m sure that you’re very confident about the time when your father introduced me to you the first time we met at your home. I’m so surprised that he’s a good man” said Seishirō.

“Yeah, me either! I’m so lucky to meet him because he had welcomed us to stay with you” said Ryūhei.

“Well, you’re all happy right now that I invited you to our boys all out vacation. You have to thank my father, boys, for his hard work that made me feel good to stay here for a while” said Shōjirō.

“Yeah, we agree! Thank you, Shōjirō!” said Mitsugi, Naruyuki, Seishirō and Ryūhei.

“You’re welcome!” said Shōjirō.

“Anyway, what are your next plans right now, Shōjirō?” asked Mitsugi.

“I heard that you had been working on your friend’s circle of friends” said Naruyuki.

“Yep! Shizuku Hidaka had started to plan on the extended group of her group of friends, the Shimizu Red Sun, and currently, it’s still working on progress” said Shōjirō.

“Ah, interesting! I didn’t know that your friend had planned something big to her circle of friends” said Mitsugi.

“That’s a good one, Shōjirō! I like that!” said Naruyuki.

“Thanks, boys! Me, Shizuku and Runa have been working together on this and hopefully, we’re gonna complete this one very soon” said Shōjirō.

“Oh, that’s good! I’m hoping that I can join that group one day!” said Mitsugi.

“Since we’re classmates in the same class” said Naruyuki.

“Well, it’s not yet complete, guys, but I can invite any one of you to join our circle of friends once it’s complete now” said Shōjirō.

“Ah, okay, We understand” said Mitsugi and Naruyuki.

“Well, we’ll have to wait for your circle of friends to be formed, so that you’ll finally have a chance to invite us” said Mitsugi.

“That way, we’ll be able to contribute for your group while working together to organize future activities for sure” said Naruyuki.

“Yeah, sure. I can invite you to join our circle of friends anytime I want, boys. You’ll be happy that you’ll be part of our family for sure” said Shōjirō.

“Okay, we will!” said Mitsugi, Naruyuki, Seishirō and Ryūhei.

“It’s so nice that all of us are present in this little vacation, guys” said Genjirō.

“At least, no female student coming around to interrupt our lovely vacation” said Jirō.

“Yeah, I agree, guys. I talked to Shizuku and Runa yesterday about the girls in our section and I came up with a plan where they will be staying with them at Shizuku’s home, so that they will be working together in preparing some gifts for the upcoming birthday of my adviser and Science teacher Mr. Tsutomu Murashige, whose birthday will be on May 6 (Thursday)” said Shōjirō.

“Uh... we could do the same thing, Shōjirō, but since we’re all on vacation, I believe that we can do ourselves” said Mitsugi.

“Don’t worry about that, Mitsugi. We leave the birthday presents at Shizuku’s home, so that the girls will wrap those in a jiffy” said Genjirō.

“Yeah! The three of us have already bought some present and same goes to Katsunosuke, Rentarō, Daisuke and Akihiro. Did you have those gifts as well?” said Shōjirō.

“Uh, we don’t have one” said Mitsugi while Naruyuki, Seishirō and Ryūhei shake their heds, saying that they didn’t able to them.

“Our boys didn’t have them either” said Naruyuki.

“Then, we should buy your birthday presents in Numazu later on, so that we can give those to the girls to wrap them up and wait until Thursday for our adviser to see those” said Shōjirō.

“We can help you with that later on once we’re done staying here” said Genjirō.

“That way, you’ll have your chance to buy your own birthday present to our adviser, so that we can wrap those up together” said Jirō.

“Sure, we would be glad to!” said Mitsugi.

“Yeah, let’s do that!” said Naruyuki.

“It will be a pleasure to do that together!” said Seishirō.

“We’ll make sure that we’re not gonna miss that for sure!” said Ryūhei.

“That’s great!” said Shōjirō.

“So, when we should leave the beach?” asked Mitsugi.

“Probably, by 5:00 in the afternoon, so that we should go to any shopping center to buy your gifts to our adviser. Is that okay with you?” said Shōjirō.

“Sure, we can, Shōjirō!” said Mitsugi, Naruyuki, Seishirō and Ryūhei.

“Then, let’s do that together later!” said Shōjirō.

“Okay!” said Mitsugi, Naruyuki, Seishirō and Ryūhei.

“We still have at least three and a half hours left to relax before we’ll leave this place, so that we can go shopping and then, go back home to Shizuoka” said Shōjirō.

“I know that it’s going to be a one-day vacation for all of us, but that one will be not much of an urgent and so, it’s important that we should go outside after that” said Genjirō.

“Shizuku said that those gifts need to be wrapped today, so that we can bring those to our adviser when classes will be resumed on May 6 (Thursday” said Jirō.

“Hmmm... by the way, how old our adviser, guys?” asked Mitsugi.

“I believe that he’s around 40s, I guess” said Shōjirō.

“Same thing I have in mind” said Genjirō.

“Wait a second! He’s going to be 42 years old, guys!” said Jirō.

“Oh, I get it now!” said Shōjirō.

“Yeah, me either. That guy is not much old, to be honest” said Genjirō.

“Yes, he was. His daughter Nanase said that he’s still young on his age, which means that his age is not much special, I think” said Jirō. Nanase Murashige is the daughter of Tsutomu Murashige and a first year high school student from the Shimizu Sōgō High School.

“Interesting. I thought that he was even older than our Geography teacher” said Mitsugi as he referred it to Naruhisa Makinohara, the Geography teacher of the Shimizu Sōgō Middle School.

“He’s almost about mid-40s, but he’s different than our adviser” said Naruyuki.

“I thought that he’s way older than that, but he’s still under anyway” said Seishirō.

“I would be honest if any of our teachers are still young, but no one is in the 50s yet” said Ryūhei.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Shōjirō, Genjirō and Jirō.

“Maybe, our school needs young and hippy guys to teach us rather than old and boring ones because they’re very generous to us when they taught us the lessons that they brought with” said Shōjirō.

“And also, it’ll be better if they want to make us feel motivated that they will giving us some good challenges for us to excel” said Genjirō.

“The more young and hippy teachers learned to make the students understand, the better that the trust between them will be growing for sure” said Jirō.

“Yeah, exactly! I know that we have seen those guys teaching different topics to us, so that we’ll be able to learn everything” said Mitsugi.

“Everyone in the middle school knows that those teachers are the best and professional ones because they’re very smart and intelligent to make the students comfortable to excel” said Naruyuki.

“Most of us are lucky to see that because they respect them with their heart” said Seishirō.

“And by the end of the day, all of us will be passed in flying in colors” said Ryūhei.

“Yeah, of course, Ryūhei!” said Shōjirō, Genjirō and Jirō.

“I wish that we’re ready to give Mr. Murashige a happy birthday, but it’s too early to say that yet” said Shōjirō.

“But he said that he’s not surprised yet to see that, Shōjirō” said Genjirō.

“Maybe, he might be different, compared to the other teachers, I guess” said Jirō.

“I don’t know, Jirō, but we better wait until it’s the right time to tell him with a surprise” said Shōjirō.

“Yeah, for sure” said Genjirō.

“Of course!” said Jirō.

“Actually, according to his daughter Nanase, Mr. Murashige is just his fourth year in service with our school and he hasn’t done anything big yet. Maybe, he needs to get cheered up” said Mitsugi.

“Oh, I get it now. We should do something big if we can surprirse him” said Shōjirō.

“Especially when he wanted to see something surprising, so that he will be impressing us” said Genjirō.

“After all, he’s our adviser in our class” said Jirō.

“Yeah!” said Mitsugi, Naruyuki, Seishirō and Ryūhei.

“You got that right, guys! Then, let’s make sure that we will surprise him no matter what because we’re always believe in him!” said Mitsugi.

“Yeah!” said Shōjirō, Genjirō and Jirō.

“By the way, I don’t know if Nanase will be joining Shizuku’s circle of friends, but do you think if she can do that?” asked Shōjirō.

“Well, I’m not sure about it, Shōjirō. If I remember correctly, she was a member of the Tanikawa Red Clay Tigers, which is led by Rintarō Sasaki” said Mitsugi.

“Rintarō’s group are very interested in joining a bigger group, although that they haven’t joined that yet because they have their issues to deal with” said Naruyuki.

“Especially when they have some heated arguments about what side they’ll be going with” said Seishirō.

“That’s why Rintarō is very quiet, to be honest” said Ryūhei.

“Hmm... I believe so, Ryūhei, but he will change his mind if we can ask him to join the extended group of the Shimizu Red Sun. What do you think?” said Shōjirō.

“Well, he can accept that offer if he became friends with Shizuku, but I’m not about it” said Mitsugi.

“Honestly, Shizuku is said to be more prestigious and determined to have friends and allies on her side, but she should have been meeting with Rintarō, to be honest” said Shōjirō.

“Or Nanase could represent on Rintarō’s behalf, so that she can talk to us for sure” said Genjirō.

“It might be, but I’m gonna ask her first” said Mitsugi.

“Okay” said Shōjirō and Genjirō.

Mitsugi would use his phone to call Nanase, so that he can ask her if he can do a favor to her. At her home, Nanase was finished watching anime when she heard her phone ringing. Nanase picks up her phone before pressing a button to see who called her.

Nanase speaks on her phone. “Hello?”

“Oh, there you are, Nanase! I have been waiting for you because I was in the middle of my thought about joining an extended group” said Mitsugi.

“Well, I would be honest if I can do on behalf, unlike Rintarō, who was so unnerved when it comes to meeting with other people, especially to those from other sections, but I’m okay with that” said Nanase.

“Great! You see, Shōjirō had been working on an extended group of his group, the Shimizu Red Sun, which will be composed of the friends and allies of Shizuku Hidaka. Will you be planning to join that group?” said Mitsugi.

“Ah! I recognize Shizuku, Mitsugi! She’s a member of the Bravehearts of Shizuoka and she had an older sister, Sayaka Hidaaka, who was my classmate” said Nanase.

“WHAT?!” shouted Shōjirō, Genjirō and Jirō.

“I can’t hear you, Nanase, because my classmates are shocked to see that” said Mitsugi.

“That’s okay. They understand about this. That’s why I’ll be happy to make my group invited to her circle of friends. I’ll do that on my behalf, so that Rintarō will not worry about that anymore” said Nanase.

“Oh, that’s good! I’ll tell you what, Nanase. I’ll be inviting you to her circle of friends once their structure is finally complete. That way, you’ll be happy to collaborate with them in the future” said Mitsugi.

“Sure, I would be glad to!” said Nanase before asking Mitsugi a teeny-tiny favor of her own. “Excuse me, could you talk to Shōjirō, so that I can say to him about this?”

“Oh, okay!” said Mitsugi before giving the phone to Shōjirō. “Shōjirō! It’s Nanase, the daughter of our adviser!”

“Okay!” said Shōjirō as he puts the phone on his ear before speaking to it. “Uh, hi, Nanase!”

“Ah, there you are, Shōjirō! I heard about your noise earlier, which you didn’t know that Shizuku was a friend of yours” said Nanase.

“Yeah, I know. I’m the co-leader of the Shimizu Red Sun alongside Runa Kawahara. I’m surprised about what you said that you became friends with Shizuku” said Shōjirō.

“Yep! That’s why I came here to inform you that me and my group will be joining your extended group once it’s complete. Is that okay with you?” said Nanase.

“Yeah, I can accept that, Nanase. We can invite you as soon as it’s ready to go!” said Shōjirō.

“Okay, that’s great! Thank you very much, Shōjirō!” said Nanase.

“You’re welcome” said Shōjirō, who was almost nervous when Nanase told him about her and her group joining the extended group of the Shimizu Red Sun.

“Then, I’ll see you on Thusday during the birthday of my father, Shōjirō! I know that you treated him well because he’s your adviser!” said Nanase.

“Right! Okay, I’ll see you as well, Nanase!” said Shōjirō.

“Great! Bye, Shōjirō!” said Nanase.

“Bye, Nanase!” said Shōjirō while Nanase is going to hang up the phone to end the call when Mitsugi grabs the phone quickly and then, speaks to her.

“Don’t forget about me, Nanase! I’ll see you as well!” said Mitsugi.

“Of course, Mitsugi! See ya!” said Nanase before hanging up her phone to end the call.

“Okay, I would have been upset if she hangs up the phone quickly, but it’s settled now!” said Mitsugi.

“Yep! Now, while me, Shizuku and Runa will continue making some plans to work on our circle of friends, you’ll have to wait until it’s ready to go” said Shōjirō.

“Yeah, of course!” said Mitsugi whle Naruyuki, Seishirō and Ryūhei shout “Yeah!”

“Hopefully, you’re all welcomed to join our circle of friends, so that you’ll be able to make us motivated fo shine for a better future in Shimizu!” said Genjirō.

“It will be fantastic that we’re all here to unite as one!” said Jirō.

“Yeah, we will!” said Mitsugi, Naruyuki, Seishirō and Ryūhei.

“Great! Now, let’s relax for a little before we should be going to downtown to buy some birthday presents for our adviser!” said Shōjirō.

“Yeah!” said Genjirō, Jirō, Mitsugi, Naruyuki, Seishirō and Ryūhei, which Shōjirō give them a smile on his face. Shōjirō had been enjoying their day while taking a nice vacation in Numazu for a while, so that later, they’ll be going to buy some presents for the birthday of their adviser on May 6 (Thursday). The boys have been expressive when they have some fun to relax and enjoy, which means that they’re feeling great to make themselves refreshed again when they’re going back to school once the Golden Week break is over next week. Hopefully, Shōjirō will continue to make his friends feel comfortable to be with him, so that he will develop his friendship with them with his bountiful smile.

UP NEXT: Profile of the Other Male Classmates of Shōjirō Fujihara

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 60: “Follow the Sunshine with Aimi!” [Highlight of the Fourth Anniversary of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts for Aqours]

Shōjirō had been very compassionated to be with his friends from his class as they have been able to enjoy their little vacation in the beachside in Numazu. However, they also believe that they need to relax a little before they will be planning to buy some presents for their adviser’s birthday party on May 6 (Thursday). That’s why they need to relax themselves first before they will go somewhere else to buy some birthday presents for their adviser. Despite this, they have been able to develop their friendship with each other as Shōjirō will continue to make his male classmates very happy to get along with him, which is why he’s known for his charisma and intelligence that made him motivated for sure.:) The reason why I posted this is because I want another all boys-only update after I have posted last week’s update, which featured the leaders of different braveheart groups, composed of Subaru Hasegawa (Ōta), Kazuhiro Hatakenaka (Fukuoka), Masanori Yasukawa (Hakata), Tōru Matsushima (Minami), Takahiro Natsukawa (Sawara) and Akihisa Miyazawa (Nishi). Kazuhiro, Masanori, Tōru, Takahiro and Akihisa have their own group known as the Royal Flush of Fukuoka. The last week’s update is very blooming and inspiring to make the boys developing their friendship, which is why I want this update to be more oriented on the boys showing their not-so-gay friendship as in BTS-like friendship by any means. That’s why Shōjirō and his boys have been very expressive in showing their smile to make sure that they will enjoy getting along with each other for sure.:) Now, we’ll be staying in Numazu for the next update because that one will be focused on Aimi Ishizaka and her friends from the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura as they will organize their activity known as the Kite Making Extravaganza. Of course, they will be joined by the two members of Aqours in Chika Takami and Hanamaru Kunikida. It will be posted on the birthday of Chika Takami, which is on August 1 (Sunday), which means that it’s going to be a birthday special for her and you’re all here to be part of it for sure!:) So, get ready to shine admire with the leader of Aqours as she’s gonna be there to give you a smile on her birthday!;) I’ll see you on August 1 (Sunday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

It’s time to kick off the month of August as I’ll be posting today’s update that will be focused on Aimi Ishizaka, a member of the Bravehearts of Numazu, and the two members of Aqours from Love Live! Sunshine!!, Chika Takami and Hanamaru Kunikida. They will be joined by the friends of Aimi from her group known as the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura where they will be organizing an activity called the Kite Making Extravaganza at the bay near the Mito Sea Paradise in their hometown in Numazu. You’re going to witness them making their kites before letting them fly through the sky, so that they will build their successful activity together! Of course, the reason why I made this update so special to me is because today (August 1) is the birthday of Chika Takami. Chika is an upbeat and respectful second year high school student from the Uranohoshi Girls’ High School in Numazu, Shizuoka and the leader of Aqours as she is very determined that she will shine her group. Her favorite food is mandarin orange, which she had used it as her symbol when representing herself for Aqours. Aside from being part of Aqours, Chika is also a member of CYaRon!, composed of her, Yō Watanabe (CV: Shuka Saitō) and Ruby Kurosawa (CV: Ai Furihata). Chika is voiced by Anju Inami, a Saitama native. That’s why I want to make this update being dedicated to Chika because she is more of a compassionated girl that made Aqours shine as she and her fellow groupmates have performed together for Aqours to make their fans admiring them. She will always make everyone happy to make sure that she will be ready to give them a smile for sure!;) Happy birthday, Chika!:) Now, get ready to shine and admire with Aimi, Chika and Hanamaru as here comes the 60th side chapter of the Red Section Series with the title, “Follow the Sunshine with Aimi!” Enjoy reading the 60th side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 60: “FOLLOW THE SUNSHINE WITH AIMI!

Date: May 2, 2010 (Sunday)

This side chapter is focused on Aimi Ishizaka and the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura as they are having a great day by inviting Chika Takami and Hanamaru Kunikida in a special activity known as the Kite Making Extravaganza where they will make their own kites and take them to the skies to fly. Aimi is a member of the Bravehearts of Numazu and the cousin of Chika Ishizaka.

At the bay near the Mito Sea Paradise, Aimi and her friends from the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura are standing near the war alongside Chika and Hanamaru as they are impressing the waves that splashed through the beach in a sunny afternoon. They will be joined by Kanata Matsuyama, Miyaka Kiuchi and Kiyoshi Azuma.

Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura: Konomi Hagino, Ai Yoshikawa, Kenjirō Kuritsu, Satomi Yada, Makoto Yasuoka, Maiko Aikawa, Yūko Takamatsu, Ritsuko Miyazawa, Tasuku Morikubo, Shūichi Hashimoto, Yukihiro Hattori, Kotaro Ishimura, Reiko Sugano, Fuyumi Ōkuma, Mio Takahara, Mitsuhisa Tada and Hironobu Maruyama

“Wow! Amazing!” said Chika, Hanamaru, Kanata, Miyaka, Kiyoshi and the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura while looking at the view.

“What do you think, guys? Does this place look beautiful?” asked Aimi.

“Yeah!” said Chika, Hanamaru, Kanata, Kiyoshi and the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“It’s so beautiful, Aimi-chan!” said Chika.

“It’s the future, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“Now that’s what I like it!” said Kanata Matsuyama, a third year middle school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Middle School and the older sister of Yumiko Matsuyama, the leader of the Tagata Sunshine.

“I’m admiring this place! That was so cool!” said Miyaka Kiuchi, a third year middle school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Middle School and a friend of Kanata. She’s also the cousin of Hanamaru Kunikida.

“I’m so fascinated to see this!” said Kiyoshi Azuma, a first year high school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra High School and a friend of Kanata.

“This place was awesome! I can’t wait to see the sun shining on us!” said Konomi Hagino, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School and the leader of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“Yean, I agree, Konomi-chan! I’m always motivated to see this view ever since I joined the Bravehearts of Numazu and I’m always ready to hype on something gleaming and shining while facing the sun” said Aimi.

“Well, I’m sure that you love doing this all day, Aimi-chan” said Chika.

“You’re looking bright when you look at the sun while walking on your way home, zura” said Hanamaru.

“You must be delighted when you looked at the view because it was so great that you make your day brighter” said Kanata.

“It makes you feel good that you have motivated yourself since you’re part of the Bravehearts of Numazu” said Kiyoshi.

“Yes, I am! I used to do that after the classes were over before heading back home to see the sun shining above the beach” said Aimi.

“Yeah! We used to look at the sun while it’s shining all day” said Konomi.

“And we were looked brighter when you see them during the afternoon” said Ai Yoshikawa, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School and a member of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“When we started working together as a team, we began gleaming together to look at something fascinating” said Kenjirō Kuritsu, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School and a member of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“Which we allow to make impressions on those” said Satomi Yada, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School and a member of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura, while pointing at the bench near the sand.

“Example of this is when we used to see something fantastic in the beach like people used to gleam the view, we were very ecstatic that they’re here to inspire themselves” said Makoto Yasuoka, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School and a member of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“This has been applied to the other mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Numazu and other community groups in this city because they want to gleam and shine as well!” said Maiko Aikawa, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School and a member of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“That’s why we’re all amazed to see something glorious, so that we can take a look and explore those!” said Yūko Takamatsu, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School and a member of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“It’s very important to us to gleam because we were very lucky that we want to create the future of ourselves, so that everyone will be delighted to inspire us for sure!” said Aimi.

“Of course, I agree, Aimi-chan! That’s what me and Hanamaru-chan used to inspire everyone as members of Aqours because we’re here to make friends with everyone and it will be fantastic to give us the best part of being grateful to them” said Chika.

“We always be there to believe in our future, so that we’ll work together as soon as we’re here to continue making Numazu something special to gleam and inspire, zura” said Hanamaru.

“Yes, that’s true, Chika-chan and Hanamaru-chan! I love the way you performed a lot of songs for us because I’m very admired when you shine for your group! It made me so grateful to inspire you and that’s why I want to do the same thing by making the Bravehearts of Numazu getting ready to shine for more” said Aimi.

“Well, you’re lucky to say that, Aimi-chan, because you have been special to us as a friend” said Chika.

“Yep! Friends can do anything to develop a friendship with one another, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“Exactly!” said Aimi.

“So, I heard that your group will about to start working on creating an extended group. How does it worked out?” said Kanata.

“It’s not finished yet, although I have some plans to work on that with the structure and regarding its members and groups to join. So far, there are 2 groups that have completely formed their extended groups recently” said Aimi. The two groups that Aimi referred to are the Tagata Sunshine and the Kanogawa Bliss.

“Ah, that’s good! Onēchan said to me that the Tagata Sunshine had its extended group known as the Harmony Halo Tagata, a group of friends and allies of Aki where its main color is tangerine. They have been able to make new friends and allies that are coming from Tagata, especially to those that their main color isn’t tangerine. So far, it worked out very well and I would be lucky if I can join your extended group for sure” said Kanata.

“Well, I’ll be happy to invite you to join our extended group, Kanata-chan! As soon as we have completed the process, we’ll be able to start welcoming different groups and my close friends on my side to be part of it. That way, we’ll be ready to work together on organizing future activities for sure!” said Aimi.

“Oh, sure, I would be glad to!” said Kanata.

“It made me feel grate to join with you, Aimi-san! I want to be very motivated when you’ll be creating your own circle of friends that will represent you” said Miyaka.

“That way, we’ll be helping together as one!” said Kiyoshi.

“Yes, of course! You’re welcomed to be part of my circle of friends to make sure that you’re all ready to gleam together!” said Aimi.

‘Yeah, we will, Aimi-san!” said Miyaka and Kiyoshi.

“Anyway, I’m so excited about what you’re gonna plan for today because I see you holding a lot of materials out there” said Miyaka.

“Yep! That’s why we’re going to have a fantastic activity to do today!” said Aimi.

“Yeah!” said Chika, Hanamaru, Kanata, Miyaka, Kiyoshi and the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“This activity will be called the Kite Making Extravaganza where everyone will make a creative kite and use it to fly through the sky. It’s so easy to make this, right?” said Aimi.

“Yes, we could!” said Chika, Hanamaru, Kanata, Kiyoshi and the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“Great! Now, I have these materials that you should get this over with and, we need those to fly later when it’s about 3 in the afternoon. I’m sure that making kites aren’t too hard to get it done, but hopefully, we’ll be able to finish it together!” said Aimi.

“Yeah, for sure, Aimi-chan!” said Chika, Hanamaru, Kanata, Kiyoshi and the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“You know, my fellow groupmates, Hanamaru-chan and I have done that before last summer when we have a vacation in Tokyo. It was so cool that we can do that again!” said Chika.

“Yeah, Chika-chan! It will be amazing that we will have our kites fly just like how we did before! This time, it’s going to be different this time because it will be colorful and magnificent to fly those, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“Yes, indeed, Hanamaru-chan! Our group used to make fantastic art together ever since we learned those from our fourth grade and now, we’re pretty to make those. That’s why I invited you and your friends to be with us for a special day!” said Aimi.

“So that, it will be a great time to make this activity shining!” said Konomi.

“Hopefully, it will be a successful one by the end of the activity” said Ai.

“Yeah, I believe so, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“It’s going to be more fun to make this activity so awesome and shiny!” said Chika.

“I can’t wait to see how it turns out because we love kites!” said Kanata.

“We have seen a lot of kites flying around in the beach and so, we could do the same thing!” said Miyaka.

“Yeah, we’re going to make them fly with some fantastic designs to make!” said Kiyoshi.

“You said it, guys!” said Aimi.

“Now, where we should start making the kites?” asked Kenjirō.

“Well, we could make the kites right here” said Satomi.

“That’s it! We can do that, Satomi-chan!” said Aimi.

“We should stay there to make our kites, so that it will get the job done for sure!” said Konomi.

“Are you agree with that, guys?” asked Aimi.

“Yeah, we will, Aimi-chan!” said Chika, Hanamaru, Kanata, Miyaka, Kiyoshi and the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“Okay, then, let’s make a kite, everyone!” said Aimi.

“Yeah!” said Chika, Hanamaru, Kanata, Kiyoshi and the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura as they alongside Aimi would go to the benches to make their kites there. The montage shows Aimi and her friends starting to make their kites by painting the white kite with different colors, so that it will make it colorful when it flies later on. They have to wait for the kite to dry out before they’ll move on to making designs. After 20 minutes, the colored kites were now dried out before they decided to make creative designs on their kites, so that they will become beautiful and shiny.

Apart from that, they also use the logo of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura to represent their group. The logo is composed of a three-fourths of a tangerine while a group of diagonal lines strike at the middle of that fruit. The middle of the tangerine is more resembled to a spiral from Hanamaru’s own logo for Aqours. Chika had used her own logo on her kite while Hanamaru did the same thing with her own logo. On the other hand, both Kanata and Kiyoshi used the logo of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura because they’re associates to Aimi while Miyaka used two logos, which are the logo of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura and the logo of Hanamaru, the latter is because she’s the cousin of Hanamaru.

After finishing the designs on their kites, they went on to finalize everything on their kites before using those to fly through the sky, which is very optional to do. It took nearly an hour to make a kite for Aimi and her friends, which they finally done it.

“Okay! It’s done, Aimi-chan!” said Chika.

“Me either, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“It’s all finished!” said Konomi, Ai, Kenjirō and Satomi while the rest of the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura have nodded their heads in agreement, saying that they’re done making their kites.

“Our kites are ready to fly!” said Kanata.

“Yeah!” said Miyaka and Kiyoshi.

“Wow! That’s very nice! I have done it on my own! I’m ready to make my kite fly! Don’t you think, guys?” said Aimi while smiling on her face.

“Yes, we can!” said Chika, Hanamaru, Kanata, Miyaka, Kiyoshi and the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“Now, shall we test it out if it’s flying?” asked Aimi.

“Okay!” said Chika, Hanamaru, Kanata, Miyaka, Kiyoshi and the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

Everyone would test their kites if they’re flying through the sky as they have to be away from the kite about 500 meters away, so that the kites will be able to fly. Later, all kites are finally flown while facing the sun, which gives the radiation between them. Everyone is happy to see their kites flying together, which their activity had been paid off.

“It’s working, Aimi-chan!” said Konomi while holding her kite to fly.

“Yeah, me either! It sounds good!” said Ai.

“Ah, that’s great!” said Aimi.

“My kite is so beautiful, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“It made me feel so good that my kite is cooler than that last one!” said Chika.

“You like them?” asked Aimi.

“Yeah!” said Chika and Hanamaru.

“That’s very nice, you two! I’m very fascinated that all of our kites are beautiful to fly! I can use that during the weekend if I want to” said Aimi.

“Well, you could definitely do that with your fellow friends from your braveheart group, Aimi-chan!” said Chika.

“That way, they will be more enjoyed to make their kites and let them fly, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“Ah, of course! I would definitely ask them to do that, girls, because I’m the only member of the Bravehearts of Numazu that is interested in those” said Aimi.

“Yeah! I believe that you will be ready to make your friends ready to gleam and shine with their kites ready to fly because they wanted to have fun if they don’t have anything to do in their school work” said Kanata.

“It usually works during the weekend only if they don’t have any errands to do” said Miyaka.

“So, you better ask them first if they’re interested into kites” said Kiyoshi.

“Sure, I would be glad to!” said Aimi.

“Wow! I like that smile, Aimi-chan! It made so surprised to see that, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“It makes you feel joyful to show your courage for your group. I’m sure that you’re gonna make them feel blessed and inspired for sure!” said Chika.

“Yeah! I’m always coming out to represent my group because I’m always compassionate to anyone on my side who wanted to believe me in making a brighter future on my basketball career” said Aimi.

“Yeah, we agree, Aimi-chan!” said the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“We’re all here to represent the friends of Aimi because we’re always here to believe for a brighter future of her” said Konomi.

“It’s all about the motivation that everyone needs to remember as we’re all here to gleam together as one!” said Ai.

“We inspired the other groups that were part of the Bravehearts of Numazu, which they were very confident to take care of everyone to bless our community with their own representation” said Kenjirō.

“Numazu had been a great city for the bravehearts to make friends like they used to and because of that, everyone is all pumped to make their future getting brighter” said Satomi.

“That’s why in our group, we want to create our moments that we have to treasure with” said Makoto.

“And we can help the community to cheer them up and support for a better change” said Maiko.

“Espcially when they wanted to step up fo us” said Yūko.

“It’s great to make them stand up for them to make us feel good and confident because they wanted to be just like us” said Ritsuko Miyazawa, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School and a member of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“With their smiles and thrills getting their way to make themselves blessed and inspired” said Tasuku Morikubo, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School and a member of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“That’s why it’s going to be fantastic that we’re ready to continue our goal in making our community more brighter to watch out like something that will fascinate you” said Shūichi Hashimoto, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School and a member of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“Or anything will be possible to witness a new hope for our community to shine” said Yukihiro Hattori, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School and a member of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“Hopefully, we’re ready to commit ourselves in making the difference for the better future of our hometown” said Kotaro Ishimura, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School and a member of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“That’s right, Kotaro-san! I’m very respectful to anyone on my side because they’re here to believe and they know how respectful I am as a member of the Bravehearts of Numazu. Hopefully, when my circle of friends will be formed very soon, it’s going to be anyone who can step up for me to support and it will be awesome that I will have more friends for sure!” said Aimi.

“Well, you sound confident about your determination in creating your future, Aimi-chan! What I’m saying this is that you have live up your dreams, so that you’ll be able to get anything what you deserved, especially when you’re representing your braveheart group” said Chika.

“Don’t forget to smile when you’re helping anyone on your side to make sure that they’ll feel happy for you! That way, you’ll be able to give them a good favor in return, zura” said Hanamaru.

“Yeah, of course, I should! Ever since I had joined the Bravehearts of Numazu three months ago, I started to get close to my new friends because they have impressed me with a smile. That makes me feel uplifted and joyful because that group is my second home” said Aimi.

“Yes, it’s indeed that you had a second home after your family and you have to represent them with your pride” said Kanata.

“Your heart is very important to you, Aimi-chan! You have to trust it to make yourself comfortable to anyone” said Miyaka.

“Anyone will be happy to be with you as soon as you’ll be able to build a great relationship between you and your friends for a long time” said Kiyoshi.

“Yeah, I agree with that, guys! I’ll be ready to do anything to make my future getting brighter and I’ll always give them a promise that I’ll be ready to bless and inspire them from the bottom of my heart” said Aimi.

“That’s good, Aimi-chan! I’m loving it!” said Konomi.

“I like that vibe from your heart!” said Ai.

“Oh, it made me so excited that you’re ready to represent the Bravehearts of Numazu!” said Kenjirō.

“I’m thrilled to see this!” said Satomi.

“You’re one of us because you always lead us to a blessed opportunity to make us motivated” said Makoto.

“And it seems that you’re ready to elevate yourself to the next level” said Maiko.

“We’ll support you no matter what! That’s what we do to represent our Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura! Right, guys?” said Yūko.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“I’m happy for you, guys! You made Aimi so proud because of your determination and courage!” said Chika.

“It’s like doing whatever it takes to make her feel motivated to create her future, zura” said Hanamaru.

“I always believe in your determination and courage, guys, because not only Aimi became so exhilarated to create her future...” said Kanata.

“...but you have a great confidence with her at the same time” said Miyaka.

“I’m so proud of you, guys! Just keep believing for a better future to make Aimi so blessed and inspired!” said Kiyoshi.

“Yeah, we will!” said the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“That’s my friends, guys! They’re all here to support me with their hearts and I’m always loving it!” said Aimi.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Chika, Hanamaru, Kanata, Miyaka and Kiyoshi.

“So, should we run together while holding our kites to fly? What do you say?” asked Aimi.

“Yeah!” said Chika, Hanamaru, Kanata, Miyaka, Kiyoshi and the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“Okay, here we go!” said Aimi as she and her friends begin run together while holding their kites, so that the kites will continue to fly through the breeze. They shared their laughter and joy while running around the beach as they have found the development of their school idol-braveheart partnership between each other.

After ten minutes, they finally exhausted from running around the bench and decided to take their break by buying some soda at the vending machine near the bus stop.

“Whew! I’m so glad that it had been paid off!” said Kanata.

“Yeah! I’m feeling great that our kites have been flow very well” said Aimi.

“Yeah!” said Chika, Hanamaru, Kanata, Miyaka, Kiyoshi and the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“It took a few minutes to make them fly with a lot of breezes coming to our way, zura” said Hanamaru.

“We’re almost breezing our bodies when the breeze came into us, but the good thing that it didn’t last long” said Chika.

“I would be wondering if we can do that again, but this time, in a park because there’s a lot of people staying there” said Kanata.

“And this is the perfect spot to make your kites fly” said Miyaka.

“Hopefully, we can do that one day!” said Kiyoshi.

“Yeah, we should! Going to the park will be a great idea that we can use our kites to fly around. I’m very thrilled when I always visited that place” said Aimi.

“Oh, it’ll be a great one to do that if we can enjoy flying our kites for more!” said Konomi.

“That would be awesome to make it better!” said Ai.

“After that, we can have a bountiful picnic to have a relaxing day” said Kenjirō.

“We can’t complete that if we need something to eat and drink” said Satomi.

“Yeah, there are a lot of things that we can buy before we’re all gonna eat in an old-fashioned way” said Makoto.

“A group had to run together to make a great teamwork and we’re always done that all the time” said Maiko.

“Hopefully, we’re very determined to organize some fun activities at the park soon. What do you think?” said Yūko.

“Yeah, we’re definitely gonna have that!” said Kanata.

“Sure, of course!” said Miyaka.

“I’m down with that!” said Kiyoshi.

“Oh, it’s going to be great, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“Yes, we can, Hanamaru-chan!” said Chika.

“Okay, then. We’re gonna schedule that in the near future once my circle of friends will be formed. As soon as we’re all done with the process of creating the structure and the invitations of whoever is interested to join, then we’re all set” said Aimi.

“Hooray!” said Chika, Hanamaru, Kanata, Miyaka, Kiyoshi and the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“Oh, I’m feeling it to have one real soon!” said Kanata.

“Yeah! It makes me so exciting this to make that happen one day!” said Miyaka.

“No doubt about it, girls! Aimi will be ready to anything to make us blessed and inspired!” said Kiyoshi.

“Yeah!” said Kanata and Miyaka.

“I’m very determined that we have done a lot of things for today, guys! It’s a great thing that we worked together as a team” said Konomi.

“I like the way we have this since we’re doing great in any activity” said Ai.

“Yeah, that’s true, Ai-chan! It’s great to say that we’re all a good team for today” said Aimi.

“Yes, indeed!” said Konomi.

“Yeah!” said Ai.

“That’s right!” said Kenjirō.

The rest of the members of the Tangine and Yellow Uchiura have also agreed to Aimi’s statement by nodding their heads.

“I’m very optimistic that every one of us had deserved a great teamwork because we did everything to make this activity successful” said Chika.

“As a matter of fact, we’re all blessed and inspired now, zura” said Hanamaru.

“Yes, it is, Hanamaru-chan! When we had the job done, everyone is deserved to have a good credit because this is what we do to make ourselves happy and thrilled” said Aimi.

“I agree! Working together as a team not only makes everyone getting blessed and inspired, but it developed one’s friendship with one another” said Chika.

“I know that it’s better to say that we have a great friendship between one of us, but I’m definitely delighted that it’s getting better and better, zura” said Hanamaru.

“Yeah!” said Aimi.

“I sense a good partnership out there, guys!” said Kotaro Ishimura, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School and a member of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“I believe that it’s a school idol-braveheart partnership because all of us have worked together as a team” said Reiko Sugano, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School and a member of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“Which it gives a better boost in making a friendship with each other” said Fuyumi Ōkuma, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School and a member of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“I agree, guys! Since Aqours is a special group, composed of school idols like us, we’re allowed to make friends with anyone who wanted to make their dreams in a shining way” said Chika.

“We haven’t done that before until one time when the leader of the Bravehearts of Numazu had arraigned a meeting with us last month where we finally settled a partnership with them, zura” said Hanamaru.

“Of course, no one said that it’s different than just any partnership, but it’s so lucky that we have made that at the same time” said Aimi.

“What about µ’s? Did they have found a partnership with a braveheart group?” asked Shūichi.

“Yes, they were. They have a partnership with at least three groups” said Chika.

“They were the Bravehearts of Chiyoda, the Bravehearts of Bunkyo and the Bravehearts of Shinjuku” said Hanamaru.

“Although none of these guys from those groups have been related to the members of µ’s, those three groups have been connected to them through colors” said Chika.

“Oh, interesting! I never know that they have a type of connection like that” said Shūichi.

“That’s why we have that connection in our hometown” said Yukihiro.

“Yep!” said Chika and Hanamaru.

“Each of us had their own connection with any braveheart member, based on the image color. For example, I have connection with Aki through my image color mikan orange” said Chika.

“While I’m connected with Aimi because of my image color yellow” said Hanamaru.

“Some of them doesn’t have connections with either us or Saint Snow, which means that they aren’t connected with them at the start, but they have found new connections with one of our members” said Chika.

“With the recent addition of their new members, we’ll continue to expect new connections with the Bravehearts of Numazu, so that the school idol-braveheart partnership continues to develop for more, zura” said Hanamaru.

“Ah, okay. We understand now” said Shūichi and Yukihiro.

“Good thing that you had been friends with the close friends of Aimi from the Bravehearts of Numazu” said Shūichi.

“I’m sure you’ll have a lot of collaborative plans to work with them very soon while they’ll continue to welcome their new members” said Yukihiro.

“Yeah, they will” said Chika and Hanamaru.

“I’m feeling motivated to see how your partner going on with the Bravehearts of Numazu” said Fuyumi.

“Especially that you and your fellow groupmates getting along with them” said Mio Takahara, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tagata Gakuen Shizūra Elementary School and a member of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“Yeah, we’re more motivated to make friends with them because we believe their dreams of making their community getting brighter and it would be great that we can work together with them for sure!” said Chika.

“That’s how we do to believe in ourselves to make sure that they’ll inspire us, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“Yeah! I had a lot of confidence to make you two inspire me since we have met with each other the first time! It’s going to be amazing that one day, we’ll gonna work together once my circle of friends will be formed. Isn’t that right, guys?” said Aimi.

“Of course, we agree!” said the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“Oh, one thing to say about this, but I think that this one will be important. As school idols, do you think that you’re gonna perform more?” said Fuyumi.

“Like you’re gonna perform for us when the Bravehearts of Numazu will plan something big real soon. That way, it will be very fantastic to make you show up for us!” said Mio.

“It will be cool to have that one day!” said Ritsuko.

“Yeah, I love your performance since you girls have competed in the Love Live! School Idol Project Competition three months ago” said Tasuku.

“Hopefully, you’re all gonna shine for us!” said Shūichi.

“Well, I would love to have that, guys, because we recognized the Bravehearts of Numazu, which is why we’ll gonna do it for you if they’ll have an amazing plan to plan with” said Chika.

“We talked to Tsunehisa Murayama about this a few days ago and we finally drawn some plans that we’ll be planning to organize as soon as possible, zura” said Hanamaru.

“That’s why we’re very excited to tell you that once it’s good to push through, then you’re all invited to witness this!” said Aimi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

“I’m really hoping for this, Aimi-chan!” said Konomi.

“It’s going to be fantastic that you’re gonna work on that real soon” said Ai.

“Everything will be possible to believe because we’re all confident to shine our way” said Kenjirō.

“I believe that we should be ready to witness if you guys will continue planning on this one day” said Satomi.

“However, we’re all busy with some other priorities to do, especially with the upcoming activities to organize with” said Makoto.

“Which means that we’re gonna have to wait until the right time comes for you to finalize this, so that we’ll gather together like we used to” said Maiko.

“It will be amazing that everyone is here to witness everything, but at the end of the day, we’re all here together as friends!” said Yūko.

“Yeah, we will!” said Aimi, Chika and Hanamaru.

“Tsunehisa had a plan for this, guys, but don’t worry about this because you’ll be surprised to see this once he’s gonna announce this sooner or later” said Aimi.

“Aimi-chan’s right! We have to wait until for him on what to plan next because he’s typically good on those” said Chika.

“So, you better stay tuned for that because you’re all thrilled for this once it’s good to go, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura.

Everyone would continue to stay at the beach for a few minutes before the sun is about to set because it’s almost nighttime. Aimi would give everyone a smile on her face while speaking to them.

“I’m so happy that everyone had been blooming enough to make this day a success!” said Aimi before turning to Chika, Hanamaru, Kanata, Miyaka and Kiyoshi. “Especially to the rest of you! You have been optimistic to be part of our activity today!”

“Yeah! Tt feels good for me to get along with you, Aimi-chan! I love the way you organized an activity like that!” said Chika.

“I’m very thrilled that you had a great activity to make us inspire, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“Kite making is so much fun to do, Aimi-chan!” said Kanata.

“The thrills will never end if we’re gonna have more friends to come around” said Miyaka.

“That way, it’ll be fantastic to work together as a big group” said Kiyoshi.

“I agree, guys!” said Aimi while giving the five a smile on her face. Just then, she looks at her watch to see what time is it. “Oh, good! It’s almost sunset and I believe that we’re all hungry for dinner. What do you think?”

“Yeah, I’m ready for dinner, Aimi-chan!” said Konomi.

“Me too!” said Ai.

“It will be a pleasure to get along with you for dinner!” said Chika.

“I’m excited about this, zura!” said Hanamaru.

“We should be good to have a great dinner together before we’re all parted ways” said Kanata.

“It’ll be a great way to end this day for sure!” said Miyaka.

“Hopefully, we’re all set for dinner, especially to you, Aimi-san, because you always lead to visit a beautiful place to eat for dinner” said Kiyoshi.

“You said it!” said Aimi before calling out here friends to get along with her and leave the beach together. “Now, let’s visit a fascinated restaurant for dinner! Follow the sunshine through the horizon, everyone!”

“Yeah!” said Chika, Hanamaru, Kanata, Miyaka, Kiyoshi and the members of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura, which makes Aimi feel delighted that she had a great day to get along with them. Aimi and her friends have been thrilled that they have worked together in making their creatives kites, so that they would use those to fly through the sky. It was a good sign of them because they made the school idol-braveheart partnership between the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura and the two members of Aqours, Chika and Hanamaru, which means that it was great that they have shined together as a team. Everyone will be excited to get along with Aimi because she always led her way through the horizon and hopefully, they’ll continue to gleam and shine with Aimi because she’s one of the members of the Bravehearts of Numazu and she’ll keep her promise to bless and inspire the community in Numazu with her pride and determination.

As this update is very special to me because it is the birthday of Chika Takami, the leader of Aqours, I will be posting the profile of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura, one of the mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Numazu. This group is composed of the friends of Aimi Ishizaka, a member of the Bravehearts of Numazu, and they have lived together in a dormitory in Uchiura. They have focused on making fun activities, so that they will be more enjoyed in making their day more shining for sure. One thing that you find it coincidental is that they have been friends with both Chika Takami and Hanamaru Kunikida due to the two being friends with Aimi, who admired them on their performance when the two were part of Aqours. The leader of the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura is Konomi Hagino. I also added three more characters into this list, composed of Kanata Matsuyama (the sister of Yumiko Matsuyama), Miyaka Kiuchi (the cousin of Hanamaru Kunikida) and Kiyoshi Azuma.

UP NEXT: Schedule of Updates – Seventh Part of Volume 8.5, Part 2
 
Here is the schedule of the next batch of the future updates of the Red Section Series as this will be composed of the next 10 side chapters of this side series. Of these 10 side chapters, six will be related to the great banquet that celebrated the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka, one will be focused on Yūjirō Hasegawa, the leader of the Ōta Red Section, one will be focused on Riruka Inagaki, the cousin of Asami Inagaki, a member of the Bravehearts of Satagaya, while the rest will be focused on the red-haired characters from the two new braveheart groups: the Bravehearts of Azumino and the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

EDIT #1 (8/4): I made the first major update in this list as I updated the color of Nozomi Yamamoto from "#FFB530" to "#F2DF21" to reflect that color for Rika Jōgasaki of THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls. Rika is the younger sister of Mika Jōgasaki (CV: Haruka Yoshimura).

EDIT #2 (8/8): I made a minor update in this list as I have changed the image color of Setsuna Yūki from "#D42023" to "#DE0716" by mistake. I didn't know that I used the old image color of hers instead of the current one. So, it should be fixed now.;)

A Post-Chapter Postscript Message from Chika Takami

Hi, everyone! This is Chika Takami of Aqours and I would like to thank everyone for reading this update where me and Hanamaru are having fun getting along with Aimi Ishizaka and her friends from the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura in their activity known as the Kite Making Extravaganza. It’s more fun to make a kite with your creative designs because we made this in order to make them fly through the sky. I love to make them fly because they can fly all the way with the breeze, which is why kites are quite popular in coastal cities in Shizuoka, which includes my hometown Numazu. Now, one thing that you didn’t know that me and Hanamaru have been friends with Aimi because Aimi had admired us in one of our performances, which was in the summer edition of the Love Live! School Idol Project Competition. She had been amazed to see us performing like we used to and that’s why she started to inspire us. As a result, we started to work together in collaborating activities after the Bravehearts of Numazu had decided to partner with Aqours right after Kanan, Dia and Mari have rejoined Aqours while getting busy on their studies in college. From this day on, the beautiful partnership between our school idol group and the Bravehearts of Numazu was born. When Aimi was interested to collaborate with me and Hanamaru because she had admired us, she wanted to make us feel delighted to make her friendship with us getting developed. I love to see Aimi organizing an activity like that she wants to shine her way to make her friends including me and Hanamaru thrill! Anyway, I hope that you enjoy reading this update because it feels great the author of this series had posted this on my birthday. He knew that this is the right time to post and I feel happy for that! I’m sure that you’re always like to shine just like me because you’re here to show some smiles to me and so, I’ll be happy to admire you for sure! Until then, I’ll see you next time when we meet with each other again with my fellow groupmates from Aqours and keep admiring and shining with your smile, everyone!
- Chika Takami (CV. Anju Inami)

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 61: “Interacting with the Red Luminous Archer of Azumino”

Aimi’s Kite Making Extravaganza is a great success as she and her fellow friends from her group, the Tangerine and Yellow Uchiura, have been enjoying their day, doing and flying their kites together with Chika and Hanamaru of Aqours. It’s so great that the braveheart-school idol partnership had been paid off because they have worked together through their smiles. Aimi had continued to develop her friendship with Chika and Hanamaru because they have been doing a great job in working together as a team and hopefully, they will continue to keep this up with their smiles for sure!:) I’m so happy that Chika had been motivated to get along with a braveheart like Aimi and I believe that she will keep her smile to anyone on her side, especially to her fellow groupmates from Aqours. She will be ready to shine for Aqours because she is always delighted to make everyone smile!;) Happy birthday, Chika!:) As the Red Section Series continue due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak is still ongoing, I will try my best to keep writing new drafts, so that I will be able to post those into this forum as I’m aiming to make the Red Section Series more entertaining and more shining with new characters and groups as well as returns to witness and so, you’re all thrilled to see for sure!;) The next update will be heading north to the mountainous area of Nagano Prefecture as I’ll will be introducing you to Shina Hanaoka and the Bravehearts of Azumino. Shina will be sharing about her secrets of being the Red Luminous Archer, her nickname being used by her friends, to her fellow groupmates from the Bravehearts of Azumino. You’re going to witness a lot of those secrets when you’ll be reading this next update!:) I’ll see you on August 4 (Wednesday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!
 
Hi, everyone!:) It’s been great for our Filipino athletes as they have accomplished themselves in the recent days of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo after our nation’s first gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz won the Women’s -55 kg event of the weightlifting competition. Three Filipino boxers have been guaranteed of possibly getting medals this year starting with Nesthy Petecio, who ended up losing to Japan’s Sena Irie of Yonago, Tottori in the tournament final of the Women’s featherweight event, thus she ended up going home with the silver medal. Then, Eumir Marcial (Men’s middleweight) and Carlo Paalam (Men’s flyweight) have advanced to the semifinals of their respective events as Marcial had defeated Armenia’s Arman Darchinyan by knockout while Paalam had upset Uzbekistan’s Shakhobidin Zoirov in a 4-0 split decision as the fight had been halted due to both fighters having cuts and injuries while fighting, both in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, they will face tougher opponents with Marcial taking on Ukraine’s Olesandr Khyzhniak while Paalam squaring off against Japan’s Ryomei Tanaka of Tajimi, Gifu, which their games will be held tomorrow at the Ryōgoku Kokugiken. In the other events, Carlos Yulo failed to capture a medal in the final of the Men’s vault category in the Gymnastics competition, which was won by South Korea’s Jea-hwan via a tiebreaker over ROC (Russia)’s Denis Abyazin. Yulo had been tied with ROC (Russia)’s Nikita Nagomyy on total score (14.716 points), but earned the higher placement due to a higher individual vault score (18.466 vs. 14.833). In the Athletics competition, former UST athlete Ernest John ‘EJ’ Obiena failed to capture a medal after three missed attempts in the 5.80 meters, thus ending up making a 5.70 meter finish, good for 11th place while being tied with Germany’s Bo Kanda Lita Baehre. And last but not the least, Juvic Pangunsan had failed to make it to the Top 10 in the Men’s individual event in the golf competition, which was won by United States’ Xander Schuaffele. Currently, female golfers Yuka Saso and Bianca Pagdanganan are competing for the Women’s individual event, which is now started for the first round. As of today, the Philippines (1-1-0) had been tied with Tunisia (1-1-0) for the 44th place in the medal race, which is currently led by China (32-21-16), United States (24-28-21) and the hosts Japan (19-6-11). I’m so happy that the Filipino athletes are doing their best to make sure that they will make themselves earned, which means that they’ll be able to show some pride and respect for the Filipinos including me. They will never forget their moments in Tokyo as they are always there to shine and be recognized by every Filipino in my country.;) Congratulations, Nesthy Petecio, and great performance for the rest of the athletes!:) By the way, I apologize about what happened after I have posted the previous update where my Internet connection had been disconnected for the rest of that night but backed in on the following day, which it's just a trial on my new Wi-Fi for my Internet, so that it will be faster to load pages in the Anime-Sharing Forum. However, I'm not satisfied with the view count because it became an all-time low record in the Red Section series with 182.:eek: This makes me frustrated because I'm rivalled by another user who is writing his own story and it had been rising up ever since his entry to the Anime-Sharing Forum.:( So, if you want to read the previous update, which is focused on Aimi Ishizaka of the Bravehearts of Numazu and Chika Takami and Hanamaru Kunikida of Aqours, I recommend that you should read it before or after reading today's update, so that the series will continue to boost the view counts better than the previous updates. Hopefully, you're all here with me because the Red Section Series will continue to bloom, gleam and shine for more and so, get ready to witness something new in this side story series!:) Now, before moving on to today’s update, it’s time to celebrate some birthday celebrants through the birthday corner to see who celebrated their birthdays from yesterday to tomorrow!:)

Yesterday were the double birthdays of Honoka Kōsaka (representing µ’s and Printemps) from Love Live! School Idol Project and Nagisa Ibuki (representing Hoshimi Production and Tsuki no Tempest) from IDOLY PRIDE. Honoka is an honored and cheerful second year high school student from the Otonokizaka Girls’ High School in Chiyoda, Tokyo and had been motivated to get along with her fellow members of µ’s as she had led that group to save her school from being shut down. Her family worked in a wagashi shop named Homura. She loves singing and has a cheerful and bubbly personality and she never gives up on anything, to the point of usually overexerting herself. She had shown to be lazy and reluctant to do work, but had highly driven when it comes to her school idol activities. Her hobbies include swimming and collecting stickers. She is the leader of µ’s and eventually, become the President of the Otonokizaka Girls’ High School Student Council when Eli Ayase (CV: Yoshino Nanjō) had graduated. On the other hand, Nagisa is a second year high school student from the Hoshimi Private High School and the classmate of Kotono Nagase (CV: Mirai Tachibana). She decided to become an idol because “Kotono seems to have fun talking about it” as she supported her best friend Kotono. She had a gentle and devoted personality, which results to her often supporting people on what they need. She had a cheerful smile to motivate herself, but she also has the side of not hesitating to comment on Kotono. Honoka is voiced by Emi Nitta while Nagisa is voiced by Kokona Natsume. Belated happy birthday, Honoka and Nagisa!:) And before you’ll read this update, this one will be dedicated to Hitomi Nabatame, Satoshi Hino, Akina Hōmoto and Ryō Hirohashi. Both Hitomi and Satoshi have celebrated their birthdays today (August 4) while Akina and Ryō will celebrate their birthdays tomorrow (August 5). Born in Sado, Niigata, Hitomi is well-known voice actress and singer that voiced various characters from different anime releases such as Raynare (High School DxD), Saori Makishima (Oreimo), Saori Bajiina (Eromanga Sensei), Shizuma Hanazono (Strawberry Panic!), Shiina Kazumi (Black Bullet), Akane Kōsaka (Sakeano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend), Bazett Fraga McRemitz (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya), Tsubaki Collbrande (Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?), Saki Satō (Why the Hell are You Here, Teacher!?), Fanatio (Sword Art Online: Alicization) and Akane Kurimiya-Shiina (Free! -Dive to the Future-). Coming out from San Francisco, California, Satoshi Hino better known as Satoshi Robert Kino is the voice actor of Ainz Ooal Gown (Overlord), Yuji Sakai (Shakugan no Shana), Gacuhe Adlai (Black Clover), Daichi Sawamura (Haikyu!!), Kyōjurō Rengoku (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba), Shiage Hamazura (A Certain Scientific Index) and Tamanawa (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU). Hailing from Osaka, Akina is the voice actress and singer that voiced Lanzhu Zong/Ranju Shō from Love Live! School Idol All Stars, representing the Nijigasaki High School Idol Department Club (not to be confused with Ayumu Uehara (CV: Aguri Ōnishi)’s Nijigasaki High School Idol Club). And last but not the least, born in Mitsuke, Niigata, Ryō is the voice actress of Miles “Tails” Prower (Sonic the Hedgehog series), Kyou Fujibayashi (Clannad) and Ako (Ongaku Shoujo). I hope that those four will continue making progress of their voice acting careers, especially to Hitomi and Akina as they have been doing great in their music careers. Happy birthday, Hitomi, Satoshi, Akina and Ryō!:) Now, it’s time to introduce you to not only a new braveheart group, but one of their members into this series as we’re going to the city of Azumino in the mountainous area of Nagano to get along with Shina Hanaoka and the Bravehearts of Azumino!:)

After the last two updates have taken place in Numazu, today’s update will be more exciting to witness because we’re going to visit the mountainous prefecture of Nagano to introduce you to the Bravehearts of Azumino. The Bravehearts of Azumino is a braveheart group based in Azumino, a city that is near Matsumoto. This braveheart group was founded a month ago before the formation of the Bravehearts of Ōta and led by Junpei Suminaga, a second year high school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen High School and the captain of the Toyomisei Gakuen High School men’s basketball team. One of their members is a red-haired girl in Shina Hanaoka, the captain of the Toyomisei Gakuen Elementary School girls’ basketball team, which means that today’s update will not only focus on that braveheart group, but it will be on Shina as she would be interacting with her fellow groupmates where they want to know the secrets of her as the Red Luminous Archer. So, get ready to dive with her and her fellow groupmates because here comes the 61st side chapter of the Red Section Series with the title, “Interacting with the Red Luminous Archer of Azumino”! Enjoy reading the 61st side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 61: “INTERACTING WITH THE RED LUMINOUS ARCHER OF AZUMINO

Date: May 1, 2010 (Saturday)

This side chapter is focused on the Shina Hanaoka and the Bravehearts of Azumino as Shina is interacting with her fellow groupmates as they want to explore the secrets of her being the Red Luminous Archer of Azumino.

In Azumino, Nagano, the Bravehearts of Azumino have bought some food from different stores in Toyoshina as they will do use those for their dinner later on. While Nagisa Ichinose, the manager of the Bravehearts of Azumino, had cooked those while the members of the Bravehearts of Azumino would sit down and relax at the living room of the Suminaga Residence, which is their home as they are having their own stuff to do right before Shina Hanaoka finally finds an idea that would make her fellow groupmates getting their attention on what she’s going to say about her idea.

“Everyone! I believe that I have to share about something important!” said Shina Hanaoka, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“Oh, I want to know what you’re sharing about, Shina-san! I love to explore anything that isn’t known to all of us before!” said Hazuki Matogawa, a first year middle school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino. She’s also the leading girl of that group.

“Yeah, me too! We want to see something fascinating!” said Risako Ōkuma, a first year middle school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“Sure, girls! I mean, I want to share this to everyone because I want to have an opportunity to witness like I have some experiences before I joined this group” said Shina.

“Well, that’s a good idea, Shina-san! I mean, it would be great that you’re gonna share that you didn’t tell us before” said Junpei Suminaga, a second year high school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen High School and the leader of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“Yep. Every one of us had their own unrevealed secrets that wasn’t explored to everyone until it was finally revealed at some point” said Setsuko Ōhashi, a second year high school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen High School and the vice leader of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“We can do that at any time if we don’t have anything busy, but because it’s currently a holiday break as in national holiday observation, we can allow this whatever we want” said Kōki Sugiwara, a second year high school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“Ah, okay! Then, we can do that right now!” said Shina.

“Sure!” said Junpei, Setsuko and Kōki.

“Alright! I can’t wait to see what’s going to share about!” said Hazuki.

“It’s a great thing to we’re going to have one of our members to share!” said Risako.

“Yeah! Of course, she’s the vice captain of the Toyomisai Gakuen Elementary School girls’ basketball team. What would possibly go wrong if she’s not taking her turn to share?” said Takako Aoyama, a first year middle school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“I agree, Takako-chan! Shina had a lot of talents because she’s playing both small forward and power forward, but her natural position is being the power forward. She’s very good in making some hustle plays for us” said Megumi Yoshizawa, a first year middle school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“And she had adapted her own plays just like her siblings and relatives did” said Hisaya Miyazaki, a first year middle school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“Yeah, it’s true that I had a lot of my family members being good in basketball and I’m the only child whose height is way taller than them” said Shina.

“What is your height?” asked Minori Kawakubo, a first year middle school student from the Akashina Shingyo Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“I’m 4’9”, which is five inches taller than Asahi and two inches shorter than Akira Kuribayashi” said Shina.

“That’s right, Shina-chan! You’re a solid defender who can make screens, giving open shots for us” said Asahi Nanasawa, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“As well as your hustle, which makes you feel good to grab the ball for rebound or block someone else’s shot” said Akira Kuribayashi, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“Yeah, of course! I can do anything what I want because I’ll always shine for my team! Isn’t that right, girls?” said Shina.

“Yeah!” said Asahi, Yuka, Suzuka and Akira.

“I’m glad that you had been taller on the same height as mine, but I’m pretty confident that you’re ready to shine some more, Shina-san. You’re too good to handle everything to make yourself getting more through the hustle and I’m sure that you’re gonna get ready to unleash your style of play” said Minori.

“Yeah, of course! I’m hoping that I can do that, Minori-san! At least that I had battled you in the city tournament last winter” said Shina.

“Oh, you got me, Shina-san! But one day, when we’ll meet again, I’m not gonna get easy on you this time when you’re entering the middle school varsity team” said Minori.

“Sure, be my guest, Minori-san!” said Shina.

“Okay!” said Minori.

“I hope that you’re gonna improve your performance, Shina, because not only you have been doing a great job in coming off from the bench last year, but it seems that you have been deserved to get into the starting line-up this year” said Ryōma Akimoto, a first year middle school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“You got that right, Ryōma-san! Our head coach Masahiko Konno had tested not only me and my fellow schoolmates in hoping to get into the line-up and they granted us to start this year. He’s a great defensive head coach that can adjust anything if he finds something bothered with our game. You’ll be surprised if he will be able to make a better playbook for us to rally for the win” said Shina.

“You should always give Coach Konno a credit for his stellar coaching since we’re all doing great last year” said Yuka Hatanaka, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“One day, we will lead our team to a city championship, so that we’ll be able to participate at the prefectural tournament next year” said Suzuka Yamagishi, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“Now, what are you going to share about, Shina?” asked Kazumi Yanagi, a second year high school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“Yeah, I’m excited to see this!” said Shiori Azuki, a second year high school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“Okay, then! I’m going to share about my other persona known as the Red Luminous Archer” said Shina.

“WHAT?!” shouted the members of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“No way!” shouted Hazuki.

“You got to be kidding me!” reacted Risako.

“Seriously!?” exclaimed Ryōma.

“That’s bizarre!” shouted Minori.

“I can’t believe this!” reacted Yū Nishimura, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Akashina Shingyo Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“You’re more of a superhero, don’t you?!” exclaimed Asahi.

“Nope, Asahi-san, but I had been more confident to use that nickname as a call to show my personality of being valiant for my family. Most of my family members have sported their hair red, but not darker, which means that I’m very proud of my hair color because it made me prospered to represent for them” said Shina.

“That’s nice! You’re more of representing the pride and courage for your family” said Hazuki.

“Yeah! I’m very surprised that you’re very optimistic to motivate for them” said Risako.

“We never saw a member of our group who was good in representing his or her own pride, but I’m thrilled that you’re the one” said Kazumi.

“Sounds like you’re different anyone else who wanted to make the difference to make sure that everything will be just fine” said Shiori.

“Yes, I am!” said Shina.

“I say that you’re a one-of-a-kind girl, Shina-san! I’m very confident that you wanted to be blessed and inspired for us because you’re doing great to contribute for your varsity team” said Setsuko.

“It feels great that you had a great nickname that fits your personality of being determined and motivated” said Kōki.

“‘I’m sure that you always bring the smiles to everyone because it’s for your representation of being valiant” said Junpei.

“Yeah, I agree, Junpei-san!” said Shina while giving Junpei a smile on her face. “You see, I started to play basketball when my older brothers have been battling against each other one time in the court. They have been good and athletic to show their skills and that’s why I want to follow their footsteps of becoming a basketball player.” Shina had two older brothers named Shigenori and Shinya. Shigenori is currently a first year high school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen High School while Shinya is a first year middle school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen Middle School.

“So, you had some your brothers playing basketball just like you?” asked Yū.

Shina winks her right eye before replying to Yū. “Yep. My brothers have been excellent athletes because they have been trained hard by their trainer and their uncle Masaya Hanaoka, who was also a former player until he retired early at 31 to start becoming a trainer. As for me, I started to train myself to be a basketball player while I got some help from my brothers, so that I want to become stronger. At that time, my school’s girls’ basketball team are not a bad team to rally with and they have some solid defenders such as Risako, Takako and Megumi. I want to be motivated to join that team and so, I was able to pass the tryouts to make it to the main roster. When I joined that team, I’m surprised that they’re pretty good with their mind and hustle and that’s why I started to get involved with them, so that I will be able to prepare myself for the big game. It did well for me at least I was able to improve my defensive skills and it made me feel good to use those in the game.”

“Oh, that’s a very interesting story, Shina-chan! I didn’t know that you’re a good player with some tremendous hustle to get some before we faced each other” said Yū.

“Yeah! Remember our match-up in the city tournament last winter?” said Ayumi Sasaki, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Akashina Shingyo Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“Yep! That’s where I was able to stop not only the two of you, but also Minori because I was able to able to defend my team as well as cutting down your team’s fast breaks” said Shina. Toyomisei Gakuen and Akaashina Shingyo have faced against each other in the round of 16 in the city tournament last winter, which Toyomisei Gakuen won, 54-47.

“Ah, yes! That one was so good!” said Yū.

“You must be strong when you had to put a stop on us” said Ayumi.

“We were overwhelmed by your strength because we can’t able to overcome you when we were in the court” said Minori.

“Yep! That’s why I’m better to defend against anybody, so that I’ll prove myself that I’m good in defending my court for my team” said Shina.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Minori, Yū and Ayumi.

“So, Shina-san, how did you start nicknaming ‘The Red Luminous Archer’?” asked Masataka Hashiuchi, a second year high school student from the Toyomisei Gakuen High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“That’s a good question, Masataka-san” said Shina as she’s going to explain about how she became ‘The Red Luminous Archer’. “When I was active in the varsity team, I was the only member who hadn’t found a special move that can change the game of basketball. My fellow teammates already have their own special moves because they have been able to know their style of play, which they can use those to gain their moment before creating their own moves. One day, Hisaya had stepped up to see me drinking the water while sitting alone outside the gym.”

“Oh, you remember that one, Shina-chan?” asked Hisaya.

“Yep! That’s when you asked me about the special moves that our head coach said” said Shina.

“Ah, yes! I talked to you outside of the gym and you said that you don’t have a special move, which is why you decided to help me in making one” said Hisaya.

“That’s right! Then, you started to train me by teaching some moves one by one until I realized that I can make cornered threes, which is my other specialty other than perimeter defense” said Shina.

“You got that right!” said Hisaya.

“Interesting take, you two! I didn’t know that you two have known with each other since you were part of the team, but I’m relieved that Hisaya taught Shina how to make a special move” said Masataka.

“I’m very glad that you two have developed with your friendship when you were in the training together” said Kazumi.

“Which makes me feel happy that it worked out” said Shiori.

“Yes, we are!” said Hisaya and Shina.

“I told her to practice making shots before I realized that she’s very good in making cornered shots including three-point shots flying through the basket” said Hisaya.

“And that’s the perfect for me to create my own move known as the Luminous Cornered Three. It is a special move that allows me to take the shot with full acceleration while bringing the aura to drive the ball to the basket” said Shina.

“Ah, I get it now! That special move was very nice! I had seen you working on that during the game” said Kazumi.

“And you’re getting lit with those!” said Shiori.

“Everyone like us had been surprised when you did that in one game in the city tournament” said Masataka.

“Yep! I learned all the way to make this shot to happen and I’m feeling good at it!” said Shina.

“That’s why you’re a 3 and D shooter, Shina!” said Akira.

“You’re doing great to make those moves to light them up!” said Yuka.

“I’m thrilled when we saw you every game! That makes you on fire, coming off from the bench!” said Suzuka.

“Yep! Asahi and I are one-two punch role players when we’re coming off from the bench” said Shina.

“And it had been paid off with our plays going in!” said Asahi.

“That’s so nice, Shina-san! I’m very confident that you learned that to make sure that you’re gonna create your own game” said Yū.

“You sound like going on fire because you dropped those like a meteor” said Ayumi.

“Yeah, I agree, girls! That’s why I’m pretty good in making those shots because that’s how I ended up being ‘The Red Luminous Archer’ where I had to lights out with my cornered threes to make sure that it’s raining in the court” said Shina.

“Wow! I never expect that you named your move because you’re so good in making those in the corner. I love to see that when you were ready to get red hot for us!” said Hazuki.

“Yeah, me too! You’re looking good when you made those shots to score for three” said Risako.

“It made me feel delighted that you have contributed for us, coming off from the bench to step up” said Takako.

“Being a benchwarmer gives you the chance to shine to contribute for a team and it will probably boost your chance to make it to the starting line-up one day” said Megumi.

“Yes, it is! That’s why I felt surprised when Coach Konno had promoted me to become the starting power forward, which I’m finally happy that I earned my spot” said Shina.

“Yeah, same goes to us with Asahi at the point guard…” said Asahi.

“…Akira at the shooting guard…” said Akira.

“…Yuka at the small forward…” said Yuka.

“…and Suzuka at the center” said Suzuka.

“It feels great that the five of us are finally ready to take the stage to rally for the win and hopefully, we’re gonna our place for sure!” said Shina.

“Yeah!” said Asahi, Yuka, Suzuka and Akira.

“I’ll be happy that I can help you improving for more, girls, because you have been doing great that you helped your team to win games last season and now, it’s going to be fantastic that you’re all prepared for this season” said Junpei.

“That’s why you’ll be ready to shine for sure just like we do. Right, girls?” said Hazuki.

“Yeah!” said Risako, Takako, Megumi and Hisaya.

“Sure, guys! We’ll never let you down” said Asahi, Shina, Yuka, Suzuka and Akira.

“You got it!” said Junpei, Hazuki, Risako, Takako, Megumi and Hisaya.

“How it had been reflected to your family when you finally nicknamed yourself ‘The Red Luminous Archer’?” asked Ryōma.

“Uh… it made my family feel delighted to see me shining for Toyomisei Gakuen. I’m very happy that they have cheered for me because I always want to represent them through my heart and that’s why it will be amazing that I will show my pride and determination to them” said Shina.

“Ah, fascinating. I believe that you have built hard to make yourself determined to make the difference and shine your way for your family. I’m very respectful to see that because you’re a good athlete right now” said Ryōma.

“Yes, I agree, Ryōma-san! My brothers have also represented for my family through their own words and it was so nice to see how they’re doing for their teams as well. I would imagine if I will start shining my way to make sure that I’ll be determined to rally my team for the win” said Shina.

“That’s a good one, girl! I really hope that you’re gonna keep this up because you’re dazzling and shining with your moves are lit!” said Ryōma.

“Thanks, Ryōma-san! I’ll make sure that I’ll use my moves to make me shine!” said Shina.

“Okay, good!” said Ryōma.

“Speaking of your family, Shina-san, your brothers are much talented and they have been doing great to make their basketball careers getting brighter. What are they currently doing right now?” said Hazuki.

“Shigenori had been amazing to step up for his team and he’s still a teammate of Ryōma, which is why I was lucky to see him making it to the team. He’ll always be a partner to Ryōma because they have a great friendship with each other and I like it! On the other hand, Shinya is also lucky to make it to the high school varsity team this year. He was surprised that he became the only wing player to join due to the abundance of wing and 3 and D players. He will be coming off from the bench for Junpei, who became the starting small forward this year. I’ll be happy if they will be able to help their teams showing their way to dominate, especially they want to make both Ryōma and Junpei proud” said Shina.

“Ah! They’re playing both small forwards! Sounds like they’re ready to grow their friendship with Ryōma and Junpei for more. That’s very awesome, Shina-san! I’m really expecting to watch out for it because your brothers are having a bright future for their teams and they’ll make sure that they’ll get earned through respect and teamwork” said Hazuki.

“Yeah, I agree with that, Hazuki-san! My brothers are very expressive to make sure that they’ll do anything to make their teams proud!” said Shina.

“Well, I might gonna observe him, Shina-san. That Shinya guy had some potential to step up for my team and when I looked at him in the tryouts, he’s very good, quite good defensive guy, if you know what I mean” said Junpei.

“Oh, you’re gonna scout him, so that he will get deserved to be part of your team?” queried Shina.

“Yes, I do. I’m not here to look at everybody’s strengths and weaknesses with my own eyes, but I have to keep an eye on the new guys like Shinya. I’ll make sure that they will be fully deserve to join our team next season if they will get their effort to step up for us” said Junpei.

“Ah, that’s good! I hope that my brother will be happy to get impressed when he’s gonna shine his way, coming off from the bench” said Shina.

“I hope so, but let’s see if he’s good to be a benchwarmer for our team” said Junpei.

“Okay!” said Shina.

“While your brother is hoping to stay with Junpei’s team if he’s worthy to stay in that team, your other brother had been very closed to me ever since we joined the elementary school boys’ basketball team. I’m very happy that he had helped me a lot, especially when we have overcome our own challenges, especially the assignments and group projects” said Ryōma.

“You’re very respectful to him since you and my brother have been getting together for a long time. I hope that you will continue developing your friendship with my brother because he’s very strong in stepping up for you” said Shina.

“Yes, I will, Shina-san! We’ll continue working together, so that we’ll be able to make ourselves motivated to have a better future for the two of us” said Ryōma.

“Okay, that’s good! That’s more I like it!” said Shina.

“Aside from your siblings, did you have any relatives who were good in basketball?” asked Risako.

Shina nods her head while answering Risako’s question. “Yes, I have. I have my cousins who were also good in that sport such as Masanobu Hanaoka, Miyako Hanaoka and Nanase Hanaoka. They were also good with their hustle and defense being their best and they also made cornered three-point shots just like me. However, another cousin of mine was a four-star prospect in Mitsuo Miyawaki, who is about to graduate next year. He’s a good wing player and was hoarded by a lot of professional basketball trainers as they wanted him to take his talents to the Japanese Basketball League. According to the scouts, he’s considered professional bound because of his terrific performance starting from his sophomore year.”

“Mitsuo Miyawaki” repeatedly said Takako when Shina said about her cousin being a hopeful professional basketball player. Just then, she finally remembers about that guy. “I heard that one in the news where he was participating at the training camps for the JBL.”

“Yep. He’s very good in perimeter defense and lethal three-point shooting. That’s why the scouts are aiming to let him join the JBL once he’ll be graduated from his school next year” said Shina.

“Ah, I see!” said Takako before speaking to Risako by asking her a question. “What do you think?”

“Interesting. I didn’t know that this guy is aiming to become a superstar one day. He’s more resembled to Junpei-sama, but more on being defensive minded” said Risako. Unlike Junpei, who was more focused on offense, Mitsuo is very good in defense, but still making shots of his own.

“Yep. He’s gonna be one of the biggest threats in the league one day once he will reach his prime, but honestly, he might gonna have his chance to develop his career if he goes well” said Shina.

“Well, I hope that he’s gonna end up doing well in his final year in college because that’s his time to make his decision on whether he will go pro or not” said Risako.

“Being entering to the pro is very important to him and so, it will be amazing to see what he will be doing when he finally enters into the different level, I believe” said Takako.

“I hope so, girls. Hopefully, I can see his performance like he used to in the last three years, but he’ll do anything to make his career grooming” said Shina.

“Yeah!” said Risako and Takako.

“According to the top players per class, Mitsuo’s class is very deep in Nagano, which is why some of them have good potential of going to the local league, but only one will make it to the professional level. I would be fantastic if your cousin can finally get a chance to shine for his college team this year” said Megumi.

“Yeah, I agree, Megumi-san. Mitsuo had been able to train hard because of his tenacious skills and he had been unpredictable all the time before changing his mood to some more determined to keep his confidence out there” said Shina.

“I would be excited to see him playing in the JBL because that league is full of professional athletes who were trying to step up to get game. It seems that he’ll get what he deserved if he’ll make it after he’s done in college” said Akira.

“Yes, he was. The JBL had its own system, based on how the reputation of your team would be, and it’s more of a challenge because that’s what the real game in a professional basketball league would be like. It’s all about the excitement and hype that the fans want to see” said Shina.

“I’m sure that this will be his chance to enter that league if he was able to keep his numbers like that. He’s a very tough guy to watch out because everyone knows that he’s gonna bring his A-game to the court and he’s ready to step up no matter what” said Megumi.

“He had a promising young career in high school and college, in my opinion, and he’s gonna get deserved what he wants once he’s leaving college” said Akira.

“Yeah, I hope so, girls” said Shina.

“Nagano is a prefecture with some giants stepping up from high school to professional leagues occasionally, but everyone didn’t know that there are some smaller guys wanted to get into the top league as well. It will be interesting to see those because with the popularity of wing and D players over big men in the local leagues including the city leagues, this could probably change everything when those guys are ready to get rolling” said Asahi.

“Yeah, that’s right, Asahi-san!” said Shina before explaining about what’s the trend in Nagano on who they preferred to watch out between the big men and the smaller guys in basketball. “In Nagano, scouts have been focused on big guys that they wanted to get into the leagues, which was dated back into the 1980s, but currently, the trend had been changed due to the small guys have finally get deserved into the top league. For example, take Yoshitarō Matsushita. He’s currently playing in the JBL 2 with the Chiba Bayhawks after he had been impressive during college. He entered the league four years ago and right now, he’s a stellar guy to step up for the Bayhawks. Everyone will be interesting to see this change once the smaller guys begin to dominate over the big men as people believe that they want to witness something new rather than seeing the past, however, they would still recognize them though until they’ll retire real soon.”

“Ah, that’s a good observation that you have, Shina-san! It’s true that the smaller guys, especially wing players, are getting the better hand over the big men, which means that it could change everything if the JBL will have that. Right now, with the class being deep on the smaller ones, this may be a big change to how they performed well through their own efficacy to make sure that they’ll create their own game to rally for the win” said Setsuko.

“I always believe in your words, Shina-san, but honestly, the bigger leagues will be much tough for the smaller guys unless anyone including your cousin and Junpei may enter to the league strong” said Kōki.

“Exactly! I wouldn’t mind if this trend will continue to happen, but the big thing is that the smaller guys must step up some more if they’re deserved to make it to the professional league with their own prowess” said Shina.

“Yeah, for sure!” said Setsuko and Kōki.

“I’m very confident with what’s going to happen in the future of basketball in Nagano because not only the smaller guys are getting better and better…” said Asahi.

“…but the tides have been changed once a lot of smaller guys will make it to the JBL in the future” said Yuka.

“Nothing will change in the local level, but if it’s for the prefectural level, it might happen real soon” said Suzuka.

“Yeah, I agree!” said Shina.

“Shina-chan, what will you expect for your future since your friends have been with you ever since we formed the Bravehearts of Azumino?” asked Hisaya.

“Well, my friends can bring support for me and my cousins to make sure that they will be able to bless us through our moves and it will be amazing that they’ll organize future activities that will involve my cousins one day” said Shina.

“That one would be very interesting. I would expect that one of your friends will be ready to plan something big, so that it will perfect to groom the careers of you and your relatives” said Hisaya.

“Yes, I have. Kōjirō Furuhata, the leader of the Luminous Cranberry, said that this plan will be pushed through everyone agreed to it. The only issue is that Mitsuo may probably be busy with his career and so, it’s gonna take a while to wait for him if he’ll join with us for our future activity” said Shina.

“Oh, okay. I’m sure that it will be great to see that happen, Shina-chan! Other than that, will your group will have an extended group?” said Hisaya.

“Actually, we also started on that where we held a small meeting with my close friends from my hometown and things are getting developing for us if I’ll make that earlier than later” said Shina.

“That’s nice, Shina-chan! It’s going to be very fantastic to have your circle of friends being formed one day because it will make your friendship with your close friends more developed and you’ll gonna have your chance to step up for our community to shine” said Hisaya.

“I will be happy if you can create it because it will allow you to collaborate with them for future activities, which we’re all interested to see that. Right, everyone?” said Asahi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“Of course, guys! But you know what, I’m going to surprise you once it’s done. Okay?” said Shina.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Azumino.

“I think that an hour is up, everyone! Our dinner is almost ready!” said Setsuko.

“Yeah! It feels great that everyone had known about your secrets, Shina-san!” said Hazuki.

“You’re a very good sharer, which means that we’re happy for you!” said Risako.

“Yeah, I agree!” said Shina.

“Thank you for sharing with your secrets, Shina-san! I hope that you’re gonna have those some more one day when we’re not busy again” said Junpei.

“Sure, I would be glad to, Junpei-san! I’ll share more about anything related to me one day, but for now, I guess that we’re all set to eat our dinner” said Shina.

“You got it!” said Junpei.

Nagisa Ichinose finally calls out the members of the Bravehearts of Azumi as she finished cooking the dinner and prepared them in the dining table. “Dinner’s ready!”

“Oh, that’s good! It’s about time!” said Ryōma.

“Yeah, the dinner is ready!” said Risako.

“I’m feeling delighted to see how it turned out!” said Hazuki.

“Yeah, me too! It made me feel excited to eat some dinner tonight” said Hisaya.

“I’m always ready for those! It’s going to be more fun that we’re all here, so that we can run together, stay together!” said Asahi.

“I agree, Asahi-san! Everyone smiles and motivates because that’s what we for our braveheart group to shine!” said Shina.

“You got that right, Shina-san! Now, let’s go to the dining table and eat some dinner!” said Junpei.

“Okay!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Azumino as they’re ready to eat their dinner together. The members of the Bravehearts of Azumino have finally explored the secrets of Shina Hanaoka as they have known about her personal life including how she had started her basketball career, her nicknamed that she credited for and her family that she represented for. It’s so great that Shina had been motivated to make her basketball bloom and prosper because she’s very talented with her defense and three-point shooting. Hopefully, she will continue to make progress of her basketball career as she’s ready to watch for her team to shine and rally for the win.

UP NEXT: Profile of the Bravehearts of Azumino
 
As another braveheart group had made their first appearance in Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts, here is the profile of the Bravehearts of Azumino, a braveheart group based in Azumino, Nagano. The Bravehearts of Azumino are the eleventh braveheart group to appear in the series and being led by Junpei Suminaga, the captain of the Toyomisei Gakuen High School men’s basketball team. Its members include Hazuki Matagawa (the group’s leading girl), Setsuko Ōhashi (the group’s vice leader), Minori Kawakubo (Hazuki’s rival) and Shina Hanaoka (the featured character for today’s update, Red Section-Chapter 61: “Interacting with the Red Luminous Archer of Azumino”). They have been allied with the Bravehearts of Shizuoka due to Chiharu Miyamae, Bravehearts of Nagano due to Hisako Hashizume and the Bravehearts of Matsumoto due to Moeka Yamakawa. One thing that you find it coincidental is that Azumino is also the hometown of DIALOGUE+’s Kyōka Moriya, the voice actress of Hemo Midori from Dropout Idol Fruit Tart, representing Fruit Tart, and Shiho Kano from CUE!, representing AiRBLUE and AiRBLUE Flower.

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 62: “The Nukui and Toriumi Gang Unite as One!”

Shina had been an admired and compassionated member of the Bravehearts of Azumino because she had an opportunity to shine for her varsity team, the Toyomisei Gakuen Elementary School girls’ basketball team, which is why her friends including those from the Bravehearts of Azumino have called her the ‘Red Luminous Archer’ due to her unprecedented and stupendous shooting to make sure that she can score those through her special moves. It’s going to be nice that Shina had shared her secrets to her fellow groupmates and that’s why she will be very confident to make sure that she will do whatever it takes to have her moment to shine and keep blessing and inspiring her friends on her side through her determination and compassion.:) Now, the reason why I posted this is because I want to have a side chapter that is related to one of the braveheart groups that was existed in Nagano Prefecture, which I decided to go for Azumino rather than the cities of Nagano and Matsumoto. Why Azumino? The answer of this question is because I want that city to have a braveheart group that is considered a friendly braveheart group that had been connected with different braveheart groups such as the Bravehearts of Nagano, the Bravehearts of Matsumoto and the Bravehearts of Shizuoka, but not only for that, Azumino is one of the cities in Nagano that their bravehart group had been compared to the Bravehearts of Ōta because their leader Junpei Suminaga is resembled to Subaru and had an winning attitude to make his team getting dominant in hoping to shock the entire prefecture to win the prefectural tournament one day. Also, Hazuki Matagawa, Shina Hanaoka and Minori Kawakubo are considered great prospects that will about to run wild in Nagano Prefecture one day if they can prove themselves to be good. In a coincidence, Azumino is also the hometown of Kyōka Moriya of DIALOGUE+. That’s why I want this new braveheart group to be more like the Bravehearts of Ōta and it’s going to be fantastic to see how they will play out when they will be meeting with their fellow braveheart groups one day. However, since this update had been focused on Shina Hanaoka, the red-haired girl that is the featured character in today’s update, Red Section-Chapter 61: “Interacting with the Red Luminous Archer of Azumino”, I want to give Shina a chance to feature for this update because her image color is red and it will be amazing to make it count in the Red Section Series.:D Hopefully, I’m going to plan on writing a follow-up to that very soon, but for now, I’ll have that on my to-do list in the future of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts and I hope that I can go back and worn on that one day.;) The next update will be heading back to Tokyo where Kyō, Sakura and their fellow friends from their high school class in the Niida Nishi High School will be meeting with their fellow classmates as they’re going to work out on their plans in developing their partnership while celebrating the development of the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and the Bravehearts of Fukuoka. It will be posted on the last day of the 2020 Summer Olympics, which is on August 8 (Sunday). August 8 (Sunday) is also the character birthdays of Setsuna Yūki (Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, representing Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and A・ZU・NA), Jun Gotō (Angel's 3Piece!, representing Baby's breath/Lien de Famille), Maya Jōga (Is the Order a Rabbit?, representing Petit Rabbit's and Chimame Tai) and Rossweisse (High School DxD), and the seiyu birthdays of Rikako Aida (Love Live! Sunshine!!, a member of Aqours) and Mugihito. So, get ready to give yourself a smile and peace with Kyō, Sakura and their friends because they’re ready to assemble their own squadron for sure!:) I’ll see you on August 8 (Sunday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!
