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

A Special Message from Ai Miyashita

Hi, everyone! This is Ai Miyashita of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I’m here to explain about the connection circle of Ayame Murakami, a member of the Bravehearts of Minato. For those who didn’t know about the connection circle, the connection circle is composed of friend groups and allies that have been closed to any member of the Bravehearts of Minato and how they have developed their relationship with them. Most of us have already shared about the connection circle of different members of the Bravehearts of Minato with the recent being Sachie Ishihara, which was explained by Emma Verde, and it’s my turn to share because this one will be very blooming to see for another braveheart member to have her connection circle being revealed and hopefully, you will love it! Anyway, Ayame had been an uplifted and motivated girl that joined the Bravehearts of Minato and she had always showed her smile to everyone just like me. The main difference between me and Ayame is that Ayame had lime eyes and cream hair, compared to me, which I have orange eyes and blonde hair. However, we’re both common with each other when we gotten along with each other for some fun! She had always become determined to make her day more fantastic and so, she had gotten along with her fellow bravehearts in a heartbeat! For the connection circle of Ayame, she had her own set of friends that she had on her side, which they formed a group called the Miracle Lime, led by Toshikazu Tanigawa. They have gotten along with each other for excitement as well as getting interested in citrus fruits, good for them to blend those for a special juice that sold them to their neighbors. They would also become enthusiasts in watching Japanese drama every night and expressed of using puns from various actors for entertainment purposes. It feels great that their friendship had been developed to ensure that they’re going to get closer with each other after all! You’ll be more amazed when they were getting along with each other because they’re more determined to show their charisma and motivation to make their friendship more blooming. Now, when you talked about the connection with her allies, she would befriend with Chika Masukawa, the leader of the Illuminating Daffodil and a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School, as they have shared their interests of drawing flowers and buying flower pins in accessories shops to put those on their hairs to make themselves more beautiful. They have also used to eat grilled foods and ramen noodles for lunch and sometimes, invited their friends to eat together in DiverCity. I’m very thrilled that Ayame had been blessed to show her compassion to Chika, which is why she was very determined to be with her whenever they go out for something fun and thrilling and so, I’ll keep watching out for them to make sure that they’ll keep developing their friendship for sure! I’m always motivated for Ayame when she’s representing for the Bravehearts of Minato because she’s notably charismatic and energetic to get along with her friends and I’ll never forget her smile that she had as she’ll always stayed compassionated at all times. You’ll be thrilled to see her for more because she’ll be cherished to show her smile just for you! After that, the next connection circle that will be shared is going to be for Yumi Tsurimi, which will be all explained by Kasumi Nakasu, and it will be posted on January 23 (Sunday). I hope that you’ll be hyped to see another connection circle to be revealed when you’ll mark that date to watch out for it because Kasumi will be motivated to explain everything about Yumi’s connection circle, so that you’ll be thrilled to see how they have done to get close with each other for sure! Anyway, I’ll see you next time on a future update that will feature me and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and keep thrilling with joys and smiles to shine, everyone!

Enjoy reading the 107th side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 107: “THE FLAME AND THE THUNDER PLAY AT THE BEACHFRONT

Date: May 8, 2010 (Saturday)

This side story is focused on Hideko Misawa as she and her friends have been playing a game of dodgeball with Mitsuki Izawa and her friends at the beachfront in the Misawa Resort Hotel.

Hideko and her friends are relaxing together at the beachfront in the Misawa Resort Hotel while Mitsuki Izawa and her friends from the Toyohama Thunder are playing some water guns in the ocean.

“What do you think of this, guys?” asked Hideko Misawa, the cousin of Maho Misawa.

“It was so good, Hideko-san!” said Genji Nagata.

“I’m feeling great that the sun is shining today” said Fumitaka Murayama.

“I’m sure that this will be a good day for us because today is going to be the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Keiko Suematsu.

“Yeah, of course! Maho said that the Fuchsia and Celadon Week will come to an end today with the final set of activities to be organized from morning to evening including the culminating event, which will take place right here later tonight” said Hideko.

“I’m sure that it’s going to be fun and exciting to end this festivity, Hideko-san!” said Nene Hayakawa.

“These events will be great the guests to show their smiles while witnessing this, so that they will be ready to start a new era in the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon” said Sayu Miyaji.

“I have to say that the guests have been enjoying themselves since the first day and it’s going to be awesome that they will bless the community when this festivity will come to an end today” said Tatsuhisa Hamada.

“Yeah, I agree with that!” said Hideko.

“So, Hideko-san, what should we do for today?” asked Genji.

“We still have a lot of hours left before the culminating event and it’s already 11:30 in the morning” said Fumitaka.

“I think that I have an idea!” said Hideko.

“Huh?” confused the friends of Hideko as they’re wondering what Hideko planned.

Hideko would unveil the beach ball to her friends. “This ball should be used for dodgeball practice!”

“A beach ball?” surprisingly asked Genji.

“Are you kidding me?!” added Fumitaka.

“No, it isn’t, but we should have a game of dodgeball together before lunch time. Okay?” said Hideko.

“Okay!” said the friends of Hideko.

“Now, let’s play some game of dodgeball!” said Hideko.

“Yeah!” said the friends of Hideko as they alongside Hideko are playing a game of dodgeball with a beach ball.

Meanwhile, Toshikazu and Mitsuki are wondering around while swimming in the beach while Arisa and Miori are relaxing themselves with their tubes.

“What are your searching, Toshikazu?” asked Mitsuki Izawa, the cousin of Maho Misawa.

“I’m trying to find the beach ball that I brought” said Toshikazu Toyohama, the leader of the Toyohama Thunder.

“Well, you have two beach balls that you brought to us” said Mitsuki.

“The one that has yellow and orange stripes on” said Arisa Kitajima.

“Yeah, I guess so” said Toshikazu.

“Hey, I think that the ball was straight to the sandcastle that Hideko’s friends stayed there” said Miori Yagami, a second year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Toyohama Thunder. She’s also the cousin of Hinana Ichikawa of noctchill through her maternal side.

“Then, let’s get them!” said Toshikazu.

“Yeah!” said Mitsuki, Arisa and Miori as they are running through the sandcastle.

When Toshikazu, Mitsuki, Arisa and Miori have reached through the sandcastle, they ended up meeting with Hayao and Hina, the older siblings of Hideko Misawa. They are studying at the Keishin Academy High School where Hayao is a second year high school while Hina is a first year high school student.

“Uh… Hayao-san, will you give us the ball?” asked Toshikazu.

“We need that ball to play some beach volleyball through the water” said Mitsuki.

“Sure! I will give this one to you, guys!” said Hayao Misawa.

“Okay!” said Toshikazu and Mitsuki.

However, a second later, Fumitaka throws the ball while shouting at Hideko and her friends. “Take this!”

The beach ball would try to land on Hideko, but she dodges it through her speed. Unfortunately, the ball would hit at the back of Hayao while the beach ball that Hayao had about to give would destroy a little part of the sandcastle.

“Oops!” surprisingly said Fumitaka as he would approach at Hayao. “I’m sorry, Hayao-kun. I didn’t know that you’re here just you’re trying to give that ball to him.”

Hayao would shout at Fumitaka. “You ruined my sandcastle, you idiot!”

“It’s an accident! I didn’t mean to destroy your creativity, Hayao-kun!” said Fumitaka.

“Yes, you are! My sandcastle is not complete anymore, thanks to you!” said Hayao.

“Well, I’m going to fix it for you” said Fumitaka as he tries to fix the sandcastle, but Hayao slaps Hayao’s hand.

“Don’t you dare touch my sandcastle! I’ll fix it by myself!” said Hayao.

“No, I’m going to help you!” said Fumitaka.

“Are you out of your mind? Can’t you see that you destroyed my sandcastle? I’m going to spray you with my own water gun!” said Hayao.

“Oh, yeah, what about I’m going to steal your water gun and beat at you?” responded Fumitaka.

“Well, then, you’re on!” said Hayao while getting angry at Fumitaka.

“STOP IT, BOYS!” shouted Hideko as she tries to stop the fight between her brother Hayao and Fumitaka.

“Huh?” rattled Hayao and Fumitaka.

“Can’t you two stop bickering?! We’re about to have fun, playing dodgeball with our own beach ball” said Hideko.

“My cousin’s right, boys! You two should stop fighting!” said Mitsuki.

“Fighting isn’t a good way to solve this problem!” said Toshikazu.

“Oh, yeah, you’re right” said Hayao.

“I guess that it’s not good to do that to happen” said Fumitaka.

“I’ll tell you what, boys. Why don’t you two settle a dodgeball battle? One team must have five members and then, assemble your own line-up for that match” said Hideko.

“Sure, I’m counting on that, sister!” said Hayao.

“Yeah, you can on me too!” said Fumitaka.

“Then, in that case, I’m going with you, Hayao-kun!” said Toshikazu.

“No way! You’re going to team up with him?!” shouted Hina Misawa.

“Well, I tried to get the ball, but thanks to Fumitaka-kun, I’m going to make sure that he doesn’t get away from me” said Toshikazu.

“Okay, then. You two should work together and then, that yellow-and-orange-striped beach ball is finally yours, Toshikazu-kun” said Hina.

“Sure, I promise!” said Toshikazu.

“You can count on me because we’re going to teach that guy a lesson” said Hayao.

“Yeah, you’re right, Hayao-kun” said Toshikazu.

A few second later, Hayao and Fumitaka have assembled their roster to play dodgeball. Hayao would be joined by Toshikazu and the three boys from the Toyohama Thunder, composed of Masanori Kitahara, Nobuhiko Konno and Fumio Asagiri, while Fumitaka would be joined by Genji, Tatsuhisa, Takashi and Kenjiro Asano, who is a friend of Hideko Misawa in the library club and a second year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School.

Hideko Misawa and Friends: Hideko Misawa, Genji Nagata, Fumitaka Murayama, Keiko Suematsu, Nene Hayakawa, Sayu Miyaji, Tatsuhisa Hamada, Miharu Hirokawa and Takashi Shimotsuki

Toyahama Thunder: Toshikazu Toyohama, Mitsuki Izawa, Arisa Kitajima, Shinobu Sogabe, Miori Yagami, Masanori Kitahara, Nobuhiko Konno, Fumio Asagiri, Kunihisa Takatani, Hiyori Makino, Sumika Nishitani, Toyoko Kawakami, Takao Suzumoto and Fuyuki Shimura

“The rules are simple. One player must get away from the ball from the player who hold the ball to throw on one’s opponent. If a player who is stepping away from the lane, it would be considered as penalty, but that person will not be out of the game. The team with all players being out of the game will lose this game. So, this will be a best-of-3 series. May the best players win!” said Hideko.

“You can do it, Toshikazu-san!” said Mitsuki.

“Just make sure that you will not get caught by that ball!” said Arisa.

“Use your speed to get away from it!” said Miori.

“Okay!” said Toshikazu while giving his fellow members of the Toyohama Thunder a thumbs-up.

“Just do as what I’m going to say, Toshikazu-kun. I need you to stop those guys” said Hayao.

“Okay, I got it!” said Toshikazu.

“You don’t have to worry about this. Just leave it to me!” said Hayao.

“Yeah!” said Toshikazu, Masanori, Nobuhiko and Fumio. Masanori, Nobuhiko and Fumio were all third year middle school students from the Keishin Academy Middle School.

“Are you sure that you’re gonna do it?” asked Kenjiro Asano.

“Of course, I am, Kenjiro-san! I’ll tell you what. You have to keep an eye on the players, so that we’ll be able to catch them by throwing the ball onto them” said Fumitaka.

“Okay!” said Kenjiro.

“We have to be vigilant if we want to win this game” said Genji.

“Yeah, you got that right, Genji-san! Let’s show to them that we’re good in running this place!” said Fumitaka.

“Yeah!” said Genjiro, Tatsuhisa and Takashi.

“Now, are you ready?” asked Hideko while holding the red-and-yellow-striped beach ball.

“Okay! We’re ready!” said the members of Hayao’s team and Fumitaka’s team.

“While Hideko will be keeping an eye on the players, I will officiate this match” said Nako Yagami, the older sister of Miori Yagami and the cousin of Hinana Ichikawa of noctchill. She’s a first year high school student from the Keishin Academy High School.

“Make sure that you’re are in the position when we’ll start this match” said Hideko.

“Okay!” said the members of Hayao’s team and Fumitaka’s team.

“I wonder who’s gonna be first” said Hina.

“It will be a coin toss to determine who will be playing first” said Mitsuki.

“Heads for Fumitaka and tails for Hayao” said Arisa.

“So, it will depend on who will be going for the first set while the loser will start on the second set” said Miori.

“The team with the two set points wins the series, which means that it’s going to be a challenge for Toshikazu and Hayao to stop Fumitaka through their own strategy” said Kunihisa Takatani, a second year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Toyohama Thunder.

“Yeah, I agree with that, Kunihisa-san! I bet that my brother will be smart enough to show his own moves if he wants to lead his team to victory” said Hina.

“Probably, he will do it, Hina-san” said Mitsuki.

“I’m sure that Toshikazu will show his skills as well, so that he will be good enough to take care of the game for his team” said Arisa.

“Hopefully, they will be able to get away from Fumitaka’s team twice” said Arisa.

“So that, they will be kings of dodgeball” said Kunihisa.

“You’re right about that, guys!” said Hina.

Hideko would play a game of ‘Heads or Tails’ to determine who will be going first. Hideko would reveal the result and it’s ‘tails’, which means that her brother will be starting the game. “Oniichan, you go first!”

“Okay!” said Hayao while he was given a beach ball from Hideko. Then, Hayao shouts at Fumitaka and his teammates. “Get ready because I’m going to show you how it’s done!”

“Come and get it, big guy!” said Fumitaka, referring to Hayao as ‘big guy’ due to him being the brother of Hideko.

Nako would blow her whistle while shouting at the players to start the game of dodgeball. “And… begin!”

Hayao would start throwing the ball onto Fumitaka’s base, but no one got caught. Genji would take the ball before throwing to the other side, which Hayao and his teammates are able to get away from it.

“Take this!” said Masanori Kitahara, a third year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Toyohama Thunder, as he throws the ball to Fumitaka’s base.

Nobody had been caught yet after Masanori’s throw as Fumitaka and his teammates have dodged out of their way. Tatsuhisa gets the ball before throwing at Hayao’s base.

“You’re going down!” said Tatsuhisa Hamada while releasing the beach ball with a throw.

Suddenly, Toshikazu grabs the ball with his acceleration. “Got it!”

“Whoa!” shouted Genji, Fumitaka, Tatsuhisa, Takashi and Kenjiro.

“Take this!” said Toshikazu as he throws the beach ball at Takashi’s arm, thus Takashi is out of the game. Toshikazu shouts at his teammates while being flanked by them. “Alright! We got one!”

“Well, I’m going to take it back like this!” said Fumitaka as he manages to throw the beach ball at Nobuhiko, thus Nobuhiko is out of the game. Fumitaka shouts at Toshikazu and Hayao. “How do you like that, big guy?!”

“There’s no way you will hit the ball on my teammates, Fumitaka-san! Take this!” said Hayao as he throws the beach ball at Genji, thus Genji is out of the game.

“Ow! That hurts!” said Genji while running his arm.

“Now that’s two!” said Hayao while he was given a high five from Toshikazu.

“Watch out, boys!” shouted Masanori as he sees Tatsuhisa throwing the beach ball onto Hayao’s base. Toshikazu and Hayao have been able to get away from that throw, thus they’re safe. Masanori was also enduring himself to make sure that he’s not out of the game.

Fumio would take his turn to throw the ball as he’s releasing from his hand to send it flying to Fumitaka’s base. “Take this!”

Fumitaka, Tatsuhisa and Kenjiro have been able to get away from the beach ball before Kenjiro takes the possession of the beach ball before throwing it. He would eliminate Masanori from the game and now, it’s a three-on-three battle.

“Oh no! Masanori is out!” said Toshikazu.

“We better fight it back!” said Hayao.

“Yeah!” said Toshikazu as he throws the ball onto Fumitaka’s base, but Fumitaka, Tatsuhisa and Genjiro have been able to dodge out of the way. Fumitaka grabs the ball and then, throws onto Hayao’s base. However, Hayao captures the ball with two hands.

“No way! He got that ball!” shouted Fumitaka.

“That guy was so strong!” exclaimed Tatsuhisa.

“We have to get out of here!” said Kenjiro.

Hayao would throw the beach ball onto Tatsuhisa’s back, thus Tatsuhisa is eliminated from the game.

“Nice throw, Hayao-kun!” said Toshikazu.

“Thanks! Now, we have to keep an eye on both Fumitaka and Kenjiro because they’re too quick to throw the balls on us” said Hayao.

“We have to be careful right now, guys. Kenjiro is holding the ball” said Fumio.

“Okay!” said Toshikazu and Hayao.

“Take that!” said Kenjiro while releasing the beach ball from his hand with the throw, but the ball didn’t hit on any member of Hayao’s team.

“Throw that guy away!” said Hayao.

“You got it, Hayao-kun!” said Toshikazu as he manages to throw the ball onto Kenjiro, which means that Kenjiro is out of the game.

“Nice throw, Toshikazu-kun!” said Hayao while giving Toshikazu a high five.

Kenjiro leaves the field while nursing his back. “I’m sorry, Fumitaka-kun. I can’t resist on this.”

“It’s okay. I’m going to do this all by myself” said Fumitaka.

“Okay!” said Kenjiro.

“Now, it’s down to just 1 more for Fumitaka’s team as he’s the only member standing his base while oniichan’s team still have 3 members” said Hideko.

“Yeah, but let’s see if Fumitaka can survive this onslaught” said Nako.

“Of course!” said Hideko.

Fumitaka throws the beach ball onto Hayao’s base, but it didn’t land on any member of Hayao’s team. Fumio would throw the ball in return, but Fumitaka dodges out of the way. It would be back and forth between them, but no one had been hit in four tries.

Just then, when Fumitaka’s throw goes weaker due to fatigue, Toshikazu would capitalize it by hitting him with one last ball to score the first set.

“And the first set is over! Hayao’s team takes Set #1!” declared Nako.

“Alright! Our boys have just scored the first set!” said Hina.

“I can’t believe it! They’re taking care of the advantage against Fumitaka” said Mitsuki.

“Fumitaka had been exhausted from throwing balls, which is why he got caught by Toshikazu” said Arisa.

“Looks like the boys are getting the advantage with the first set belonged to them” said Miori.

“They’re more hustling and grooving, I tell you!” said Kunihisa.

“They can’t be stopped because they’re good to go!” said Shinobu Sogabe, a third year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Toyohama Thunder.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Hina, Mitsuki, Arisa, Miori and Kunihisa.

“Five-minute break!” said Hideko.

The five-minute break would begin as both teams are going to regroup themselves for the strategies to use in the second set.

Keiko, Nene, Sayu and Miharu are looking at Fumitaka and his teammates while observing the results of the first set.

“Our boys can’t able to stop the speed of Toshikazu and Hayao, thus they lost the first set” said Keiko.

“Yeah, Keiko-san. I’m pretty assured that Fumitaka will be trying to make a strategy to respond this because he is looking for a weakness on both Toshikazu and Hayao” said Nene.

“Fumitaka isn’t a great player when it comes to dodgeball unlike both Toshikazu and Hayao, which means that Fumitaka can’t able to catch up with them” said Sayu.

“Unless he can find an opening for him to take it back” said Miharu Hirokawa, the cousin of Yuzu and Shizuka Hirokawa.

“I believe so. I think that Fumitaka must endure himself when he’s trying to stop those two, so that he will be able to score a set and tie this series” said Keiko.

“You think that he’s going to do something different than the first set?” asked Nene.

“Well, if you say so. He will do whatever it takes to get it done and tie this game up” said Keiko.

“Yeah!” said Nene, Sayu and Miharu.

“That will make him feel good again, so that he will let his teammates down for sure!” said Nene.

“Fumitaka will very aggressive when he’s about to unleash his own moves to seize the second set” said Sayu.

“That way, he’s all fired up with his aura getting better” said Miharu.

“Yeah, you’re right about that!” said Keiko before finishing the conversation about what Fumitaka will do on the second set. “It’s going to be a thrilling match to witness if Fumitaka and his friends will be able to have their firepower to show up.”

“Yeah!” said Nene, Sayu and Miharu.

Fumitaka is talking to Genjiro, Tatsuhisa, Takashi and Kenjiro about his strategy for the second set. “We have to attack the ball if we can able to eliminate our opponents with our speed because it’s important to get ourselves back into the game. The more that we eliminate them, the better the chances of winning this game would be increased. So, we should be ready to take it back and tie this series up!”

“Okay!” said Genjiro, Tatsuhisa, Takashi and Kenjiro.

On the other hand, Toshikazu and Hayao are formalizing their strategy on defeating Fumitaka’s team in the second set.

“We have to be tight in trying to get out of the way from the throws of Fumitaka’s team, so that we’ll be able to put them out of the picture” said Toshikazu.

“Fumitaka is seemed to be confident that he’s gonna try to tie it up, but we have to be careful on that because if they’re good enough to eliminate each of us, then we’ll have to fight it back with authority” said Hayao.

“Yeah, for sure!” said Masanori, Nobuhiko and Fumio.

“Now, we should be ready to defend ourselves because it’s going to be one hell of a fight to show it off with and hopefully, we’ll be getting away from it and win this match” said Toshikazu.

“So, let’s show to them that we’re here to dominate this court!” said Hayao.

“Yeah, you’re right about that!” said Masanori.

“Of course!” said Nobuhiko.

“Let’s make it happen!” said Fumio.

The second set would begin with Fumitaka’s team taking the possession of the beach ball. In three tries, nobody had been hit by the beach ball due to their speed and acceleration being fired up. However, Takashi was finally able to eliminate Masanori to score the first blood for Fumitaka’s team.

“Nice one, Takashi-san!” said Fumitaka.

“Thanks! Now, it’s about time to make this set in our hands!” said Takashi.

“Yeah!” said Fumitaka.

A few seconds later, as Hayao throws the ball to Fumitaka’s side, Fumitaka would grab the ball in a speed catch before throwing the beach ball at Fumio to eliminate him from the game.

“Alright! We got two now!” said Fumitaka.

“Yeah! Looks like we’re getting stronger right now!” said Genji.

“Yep!” said Fumitaka.

Then, Nobuhiko manages to eliminate Tatsuhisa from the game when they’re close with each other. Then, Takashi tries to eliminate Nobuhiko, but Nobuhiko was so fast to dodge it out. A few seconds later, Hayao throws the beach ball with the fastest speed and hits Kenjiro, who would be eliminated from the game.

“Now, it’s three-on-three again!” said Toshikazu.

“Yeah, of course! It’s going to be crucial to stop these two, but let’s see if we can make it” said Hayao.

“I believe that we will do it” said Toshikazu.

“No doubt about it, Hayao-kun!” said Nobuhiko.

“Alright, let’s do this!” said Hayao.

“Okay!” said Toshikazu and Nobuhiko.

The game continues with both teams trying to eliminate with each other, but things are getting intense in the second set. A few seconds later, Genji would eliminate Nobuhiko by throwing the beach ball at him like a bullet. It would be followed by Toshikazu getting rid of Genji after Genji made the mistake in stepping through Hayao’s base.

“Alright, Takashi-san! It’s just me and you!” said Fumitaka.

“Yeah, I guess that we have to get away from them if we can tie this up” said Takashi.

“We better do this the hard way, but let’s also keep an eye on our stamina too” said Fumitaka.

“Of course, for sure!” said Takashi.

Takashi would take his turn to throw the beach ball onto Hayao’s base, but both Hayao and Toshikazu have dodged out of the way. Then, Hayao would try to eliminate Takashi by throwing the beach ball with his own speed, but Takashi captures it.

As Takashi tries to eliminate Hayao, Hayao dodges out of the way while shouting at Toshikazu. “Take Takashi out!”

“Okay!” said Toshikazu as he throws the beach ball to Fumitaka’s base, Takashi dodges out of the way. Fumitaka would take the ball quickly before trying to throw on Hayao.

“Take this!” said Fumitaka while releasing the beach ball from his hand, but Hayao escapes through the right. Hayao recovers the beach ball before throwing at Fumitaka, but fails after Fumitaka dodges out of his way.

“Oh, my goodness! Both teams are battling neck and neck!” said Mitsuki.

“Our boys didn’t give up as they don’t want to get eliminated from the game” said Arisa.

“Same goes to Fumitaka and Takashi” said Miori.

“Man, that Fumitaka is not giving up with his own willpower because he’s very resilient to keep his stamina alive” said Kunihisa.

“Yeah, he’s got the skills to make fast-paced moves to show that he’s good at that sport!” said Shinobu.

“I wonder what he’s gonna do now that he can’t able to stop both Hayao and Toshikazu” said Hiyori Makino, a third year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Toyohama Thunder.

“Maybe, he’s trying to find a weakness on those two” said Sumika Nishitani, a second year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Toyohama Thunder. She’s also the relative of Kazuma Aonuma through Kazuya’s mother Tomomi Nishitani.

“Probably, but let’s see if things are going to be different right now” said Hina.

“Yeah” said the members of the Toyohama Thunder.

Fumitaka had dodged out of his way after Hayao’s throw before recovering the ball once again. “Alright, here goes nothing!” Fumitaka would finally throw the beach ball with his own speed, which sends it to Hayao’s base like a speed of light. Toshikazu would be hit by the beach ball, thus he’s finally out of the game for the first time in the game.

“Oh, yes! I finally manage to eliminate Toshikazu! I’m so good that I’m not through with them!” said Fumitaka.

“Yes, you are, Fumitaka-san! I’m glad that you finally made it!” said Takashi.

“Yep! Now, one more to eliminate his team and then, we’re even!” said Fumitaka.

“You got it!” said Takashi.

“Wow! I can’t believe that Fumitaka had hit me hard, Hayao-kun” said Toshikazu.

“Yeah, that guy is not giving up no matter what, but I’m going to deal with this on my own” said Hayao.

“Sure, you would. Just make sure that you’re going to eliminate both of them” said Toshikazu.

“Okay!” said Hayao as he is now taking the possession of the beach ball. He tries to eliminate Takashi, who dodged out of his way before recovering the ball, but he was able to get out of the way when Takashi throws the ball at him. The beach ball would be sent to out of bounds.

“Argh! He’s too fast to get away with it!” said Takashi.

“But not for long as soon as his stamina is about to lose in a matter of seconds” said Fumitaka.

“Yeah, I hope so” said Takashi.

Then, both teams would go back and forth once again, but no one got hit by the beach ball yet. Unfortunately, all three players have started to get exhausted from dodging against each other.

When Takashi tries to eliminate Hayao once again, Hayao captures the ball with his hustle before eliminating Takashi from the game with an easy hit.

“Now, it’s down to just one on both teams!” said Hideko.

“Hayao and Fumitaka are still standing in the court” said Nako.

“Yeah, I’m feeling surprised that he’s not through yet” said Hideko.

“Me either. That Fumitaka is still unstoppable after getting on a cold streak during the first set” said Nako.

“But one of them will remain standing tall at the end of the second set” said Hideko.

“Yeah, you got it! Let’s see how it goes between the two!” said Nako.

“Yep!” said Hideko.

“I’m going for a timeout” said Fumitaka as he uses his hand signal to call for a timeout.

“Okay, you can do so” said Hideko while Nako blows the whistle to pause the game.

Toshikazu was relieved that Hayao is still in the game as the latter returns to the outside for a pep talk. “Wow! I’m still surprised that you’re still in the court, Hayao-kun!”

“Yeah, but Fumitaka isn’t done yet too. I’m still trying to figure it out on how to stop him with only just him” said Hayao while drinking some water in his own bottle.

“Well, you have to keep an eye on him if his stamina is losing, so that you will be able to close out it with the win” said Masanori.

“But you have to watch out on your stamina too because there’s a chance that you might get caught” said Nobuhiko.

“So, you have to be smart enough to defeat Fumitaka as long as you’re still standing in the court” said Fumio.

“Yes, for sure!” said Hayao.

Meanwhile, Genji gives Fumitaka a glass of water. “Here you go.”

“Thanks, Genji-san” said Fumitaka while drinking a glass of water. “Woohoo! I’m feeling refreshed now!”

“Well, you’re still in the game, but I guess that you’re still not through with Hayao-san” said Genji.

“Yeah, I’m getting exhausted from stopping that guy, but this is really tough to beat him even we’re just only the two of us” said Fumitaka.

“Then, fight until the end. You better make a strong shot to eliminate him and force the rubber game” said Tatsuhisa.

“You got this, boy! You should be strong enough to survive this game” said Takashi.

“I believe in you, Fumitaka-san. Do what your willpower can give it you” said Kenjiro.

“Okay! I’m on it!” shouted Fumitaka while powering up with his own aura.

Nako blows the whistle to end the timeout, thus both Hayao and Fumitaka are back in the court for the clash.

“There you go, Fumitaka-san. It’s your turn now” said Hideko.

“Thanks, Hideko-san!” said Fumitaka.

“Then, let’s resume this game!” said Nako while blowing the whistle to resume the second set.

Both Hayao and Fumitaka would trade throws at each other, but they would also dodge out of their way. Later, Fumitaka, despite his stamina had already been losing, finally throws the ball in a quick speed. Hayao tries to capture it, but he was hit through the head, which gives Fumitaka’s team scores the second set and ties the series.

“Whoa! Did you hit Hayao hard?” surprisingly asked Genji.

“I didn’t mean to hit him real hard” said Fumitaka.

“WHAT!?” shouted the friends of Hideko.

“Are you nuts, Fumitaka-kun?! He’s down already!” said Tatsuhisa.

“Oh, shoot!” shouted Fumitaka before running through Hayao, who was able to recover consciousness after being hit by the ball. “Are you okay?”

“I’m alright, Fumitaka-kun” said Hayao while getting some help from Masanori, Nobuhiko and Fumio. “Why are you here?”

“Uh… I’m about to say that I’m sorry on what I did to you earlier when I hit you earlier while me and my friends are playing together” said Fumitaka.

“Well, you did the right thing that you want to apologize to me. Okay, I accept your apology, but I think that the series is not done yet” said Hayao.

“Oh, you’re right! I guess that we should have one final round to see who will take the last set” said Fumitaka.

“Okay, then, you’re on! But this time, I’m not going to get easy on you until you’re going to hit me again” said Hayao.

“Then, it’s set!” said Fumitaka.

“Oh, wow! Fumitaka is not backing himself down like that!” said Keiko.

“Yeah, he’s not going to lose his willpower because he’s ready to do it!” said Nene.

“I can’t believe that he’s feeling determined as he’s ready to defeat Hayao once again!” said Mitsuki.

“Well, my brother doesn’t want to give up the same thing. I mean, both him and Fumitaka are seemed to be on the same level of playing dodgeball” said Hina.

“But don’t forget about Toshikazu!” said Arisa.

“He’s definitely a showstopper to make sure that he’s gonna score for his team!” said Miori.

“Yeah, I agree with that, girls! I was surprised when Fumitaka hit Hayao with that speed throw, but it’s not hurt at all” said Hina.

“Yep! Thankfully that it’s not a severe injury as he was able to recover from losing his consciousness” said Kunihisa.

“He looked like he’s never gonna give up, but man, he’s seemed to be good again” said Shinobu.

“Which means that Hayao is back in the game for the third set” said Hiyori.

“This match is going to be very interesting after the first two sets earlier” said Sumika.

“But the third set will be even better than those because you’re going to see a lot of action out there for both teams” said Toyoko Kawakami, a second year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Toyohama Thunder.

“Yep! I agree with that! Let’s see if Hayao and Toshikazu will try their best to finish Fumitaka once and for all to take the victory for their team because this is going to be awesome!” said Hina.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Toyohama Thunder.

A few minutes later, both teams are taking their ten-minute break to prepare for the final set of the game.

For Fumitaka’s team, Fumitaka is very confident to his teammates as he talks about the strategy for the third and final set.

“Now, we have to keep attacking while we’re trying to eliminate our opponents, also, the most important thing is the speed. We have to careful if we don’t want to get caught. Right, guys?” said Fumitaka.

“Yeah, we should!” said Genta, Tatsuhisa, Takashi and Kenjiro.

“Should we have another defensive formation instead of the usual 3-2 attack because I think that our opponents are going to change their formation as well?” asked Kenjiro.

“Well, if you can say so, Kenjiro-san. I think that we should go with the diamond formation where I will take the lead while you, Genji and Takashi in the middle while Tatsuhisa in the back. Is that okay?” said Fumitaka.

“That’s a good idea, Fumitaka-san!” said Kenjiro.

“I would go for that formation!” said Genji.

“That would be perfect to have a strong offensive formation, but we can still adjust the positions during the game” said Tatsuhisa.

“We should be brave enough to win this no matter what!” said Takashi.

“Yeah, I’m definitely gonna agree with that! This is going to be a big challenge for us to defeat Hayao’s team if we can do this together” said Fumitaka.

“Yeah, you’re right about that!” said Genta, Tatsuhisa, Takashi and Kenjiro.

“Now, let’s finish this match together and walk away with the win!” said Fumitaka.

“Okay!” said Genta, Tatsuhisa, Takashi and Kenjiro.

Meanwhile, Hayao’s team had also got their preparations where Hayao and Toshikazu are encouraging Masanori, Nobuhiko and Fumio to power up in the last set.

“We have to show our firepower, so that we’ll be able to get out of this game and win the deciding set” said Hayao.

“It’s now or never, boys! We have to do it!” said Toshikazu.

“Yeah!” said Masanori, Nobuhiko and Fumio.

“We should do the 2-1-2 formation in this deciding set, so that the person in the middle, which will will be you, Hayao-kun, to easily eliminate our opponents one by one” said Masanori.

“Yeah, you’re a great catcher and hitter, boy! You should be smart to get away from them!” said Nobuhiko.

“That way, we will rally our way to victory!” said Fumio.

“Well, I would give it a try because I should be more prepared on attacking the defense of Fumitaka’s team and I have to be good enough to catch the ball in transition” said Hayao.

“I see. Then, if you want to lead your way to grab the ball, then leave it to us!” said Masanori.

“Yeah! You’re more confident to show your stamina and acceleration to get it done” said Nobuhiko.

“But we have to be careful on their attacks because one mistake, then it’s all over” said Fumio.

“Of course, I agree with that, guys!” said Hayao.

“By the way, Hayao-san, I can catch those guys while you will be giving me and my friends the ball when it’s our turn to attack. But if you’re the one who can throw the ball, then I will pass it you in a heartbeat” said Toshikazu.

“Okay, you got it, my friend!” said Hayao.

“Now, let’s show to our opponents that we’re gonna shine with our own moves!” said Toshikazu.

“Yeah!” said Hayao, Masanori, Nobuhiko and Fumio.

Nako would blow the whistle to end the break before calling both teams to play against each other. “Everyone! The third set will about to begin!”

“Place your positions before the game starts” said Hideko.

“Okay!” said the players of Hayao’s team and Fumitaka’s team.

“Now, let the deciding set begin!” announced Nako as she gives Hayao the ball to start the third and final set of the game.

The montage would show the actions that happened in the third and final set. Hayao throws the ball onto Fumitaka’s base before calling out Toshikazu, Masanori, Nobuhiko and Fumio to prepare for their defense. Hayao’s team had been able to defend their base by dodging out of their way to make sure that Fumitaka’s team can’t eliminate any of their members.

Later, Fumio would finally find an opening as he’s throwing the beach ball at Tatsuhisa to eliminate him from the game. “Take that!”

“That’s one!” said Kunihisa.

“This is getting intense right here!” said Shinobu.

Then, after Kenjiro missed the opportunity to eliminate a member of Hayao’s team in return, Hayao had been able to eliminate Takashi with the swift play.

“It’s now down to just three for Fumitaka’s team!” said Hiyori.

Just then, Fumitaka would eliminate Nobuhiko with his own throw as his team are trying to get it back. However, Toshikazu had been able to fight it back by eliminating Kenjiro from the game, leaving Fumitaka’s team down to just 2.

“Alright! Three down, two to go!” said Toshikazu while he was given a high five by both Hayao and Fumio.

“Now, that’s more I like it!” said Sumika.

“Toshikazu is getting better now!” said Toyoko.

“Looks like they’re about to eliminate two more members of their opponents’ team” said Takao Suzumoto, a third year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Toyohama Thunder.

“They must eliminate them from the game, so that they will be able to walk away with the victory” said Fuyuki Shimura, a second year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Toyohama Thunder.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Kunihisa, Sumika and Toyoko.

“You can do it, boys!” said Hina.

“Finish them off!” said Mitsuki.

“Now, keep it up until it’s over!” said Arisa.

“You got this!” said Miori.

“Okay, we got it!” said Hayao, Toshikazu and Fumio as they’re finally ready to show their firepower with their defense, so that they won’t be able to get eliminated from the game. Hayao, Toshikazu and Fumio would defend themselves by getting out of their way from the throws by Fumitaka’s team.

“Oh, my goodness! Hayao’s team had been showing their stamina to defend themselves!” said Hideko.

“Yeah, Hideko-san! Your brother and his fellow teammates are having a great job in staying away from the throws that their opponents have. I have to say that they will try to get themselves hustling before they’ll attack them with their own throws” said Nako.

“Of course, they were! It’s so nice that oniichan had been resilient when he had dodged out of the way from the throws by his opponents because he would smart enough to defend his base to make sure that they’ll never surrender” said Hideko.

“That’s true, Hideko-san. I believe that they’ll be more formidable to stop Fumitaka and Genji if they’ll be able to find an opening to eliminate them, but this may be crucial right now because both teams are on fire, to say the least” said Nako.

“Well, I would count on that if any of them will be eliminated. Just wait until oniichan or his teammates will manage to eliminate one of the two” said Hideko.

“Yeah, for sure!” said Nako.

Fumio would eliminate Genji by hitting closely on the latter’s back and now, it’s down to just three-on-one.

“Genji’s down!” said Hideko.

“And now, Fumitaka is now the only player standing in his own base” said Nako.

“Can Fumitaka survive this onslaught with a comeback?” asked Hideko.

“I don’t know, but we’ll see about that, Hideko-san” said Nako.

“Yeah” said Hideko.

Fumitaka would speak to Hayao, Toshikazu and Fumio while holding the beach ball. “I’m not done yet, boys! Even I’m still standing for my own team, I’m still gonna eliminate all of you!”

“Then, let’s see if you can stop us!” said Hayao.

“You won’t get away with this!” said Toshikazu.

“Just try until you beat us all!” said Fumio.

“Well, then, take this!” said Fumitaka as he throws the beach ball onto Hayao’s base. The beach ball would about to land onto Toshikazu, but Fumio sacrifices himself by pushing Toshikazu to get out of the way before getting hit by the beach ball through the head.

“Fumio-kun!” shouted Hayao.

“No way! He sacrificed himself for Toshikazu!” said Hina.

“I can’t believe this!” said Mitsuki.

“That sacrifice was so strong!” said Arisa.

“Fumio doesn’t want to let his friend getting hit and instead he was the victim by that throw!” said Miori.

“Sounds like this would make way to just Hayao and Toshikazu on their base while Fumitaka is still their target” said Kunihisa.

“This is going to be tougher for both guys as they’re trying to come up with a plan to eliminate Fumitaka to win that match” said Shinobu.

“Yeah” said Hina, Mitsuki, Arisa, Miori and Kunihisa.

“Are you okay, Fumio-kun?” asked Toshikazu while trying to get Fumio up.

“I’m fine, Toshikazu-kun. It hurt a little” said Fumio.

“You save me from that throw, didn’t you?” responded Toshikazu.

“Yep! I don’t want to lose you to make sure that you’re still in the game. I have to be the victim of my own before you and Hayao will stop that guy” said Fumio.

“Well, then, nice push, but give yourself a rest” said Toshikazu.

“Okay, Toshikazu-kun” said Fumio while he was carried by Masanori and Nobuhiko.

“I think that it’s time to work together again, Toshikazu-kun. It’s just me and you” said Hayao.

“Yeah, you’re right! I’m getting intense out here! We should win this!” said Toshikazu.

“Of course! Now, we better win this game, Toshikazu-kun, by showing our own willpower to put this show over” said Hayao.

“Yep! I’m counting on you!” said Toshikazu.

“You’re on!” said Hayao as he is now ready to throw the ball onto Fumitaka.

The game resumes as both teams would clash against each other once again with Fumitaka trying to eliminate both Hayao and Toshikazu while the latter two are hoping to close it out by eliminating the former once and for all. After a few misses, Fumitaka would throw at Toshikazu with the blurry throw to eliminate him and now, it’s down to just two between Hayao and Fumitaka once again.

“Toshikazu is now out of the game!” said Keiko.

“Which means that it’s just Hayao and Fumitaka in the court for the last showdown” said Nene.

“This is going to be crucial for Fumitaka because he had been coming back after his opponents have eliminated us” said Genji.

“Fumitaka knows that he doesn’t want to give up now as he’s aiming to win this game for sure!” said Tatsuhisa.

“Of course, he would, boys! Fumitaka should be ready to finish Hayao once and for all, so that he will carry your team to victory” said Sayu.

“Yeah!” said Genji, Tatsuhisa, Takashi and Kenjiro.

“I’m surprised that Hayao and Fumitaka are on the court for the last blow” said Mitsuki.

“Yeah, cousin. Oniichan is still relentless even he doesn’t want to lose his willpower because he can do whatever he wants to make sure that he’s gonna seize the day” said Hina.

“Of course, he would. I have to believe in him if he wants to win because he’s gonna do it to make sure that he’s still standing tall for sure!” said Mitsuki.

“You’re right about that!” said Hina.

Nako blows the whistle to resume the play for one final play with both Hayao and Fumitaka are trading throws against each other, but nothing is important at first.

“Come on, Hayao-kun! Just make sure that Fumitaka is starting to lose his stamina and then, go for the kill!” said Toshikazu.

“Okay!” said Hayao.

The game continues, but things turn out to be different when both Hayao and Fumitaka are starting to lose their stamina. They tried to eliminate with each other, but they’re still relentless at all. Then, Fumitaka is starting to lose his balance when he was dodging out of his way from the throw by Hayao.

“Oh no!” shouted Genji.

“He’s losing it!” reacted Tatsuhisa.

“Now, it’s your chance!” said Toshikazu.

“Get him out with one last blow!” said Masanori.

“Okay!” said Hayao.

Fumitaka would throw the ball onto Hayao’s base, but Hayao dodges out of his way. Then, Hayao would fire up with his throw as he releases the beach ball from his hands. Fumitaka tries to get out of his way, but the beach ball hit him through his back.

“Game set! Hayao’s team wins the match!” said Nako while blowing the whistle to end the game.

“Alright! We won, Hayao-kun!” said Toshikazu.

“Great job to finish the game!” said Masanori.

“You’re awesome!” said Nobuhiko.

“That throw was picture perfect!” said Fumio.

“Thanks, guys! I’m feeling great that it’s a good win for all of us. I’m very thrilled that I had finished Fumitaka off with his weakness” said Hayao.

“You sure did, Hayao-kun!” said Toshikazu.

“I’m so happy that you have won the game, oniichan!” said Hina.

“That throw was so stupendous!” said Mitsuki.

“I can’t believe that you’re very relentless and hustling to do that!” said Arisa.

“You’re indeed a great hitter to take care of business all day!” said Miori.

“Thanks, girls! It’s my way to win this game and I’m glad that I can do this all by myself. I will not give up whenever it’s on the line for me and my opponent to see who gets the last laugh. I proved Fumitaka once and for all that I’m still better than him” said Hayao.

“Of course, you are!” said Kunihisa while giving Hayao a high five. “I’m sure that you’re standing tall after the game is over, but I’m happy that you’re taking care of this game.”

“Yeah, I agree!” said Hayao.

Fumitaka would appear to congratulate Hayao. “That was a nice throw to eliminate, Hayao-san.”

“Oh, it’s just nothing, Fumitaka-san, but I’m always done it with my aura to get it done” said Hayao.

“Well, you’re right about that” said Fumitaka while he and Hayao shake hands with each other. “Good game, Hayao-san. You’re the best.”

“Yeah, you too!” said Hayao.

Hideko would appear to meet with Hayao and Fumitaka. “Oh, that’s so sweet, you two! I’m so glad that you two have already learned to respect with each other. I’m happy with that!”

“Thanks, sister!” said Hayao.

“Thanks, Hideko-san!” said Fumitaka.

“Next time, Fumitaka-san, you have to be careful on what you’re hitting when we’re playing dodgeball because sometimes, you might hurt someone” said Hideko.

“Yeah, I will never do it again” said Fumitaka.

“You better not do that, Fumitaka-kun, now that we finished this game” said Hayao.

“Of course not!” said Fumitaka while laughing out with Hayao.

“Well, I’m so proud of you, you two! Now, we should get out of the beachfront and have some lunch break before we’ll look around at the central park” said Hideko.

“Okay!” said Hayao and Fumitaka.

“Now, let’s walk together to pack up our things and take a shower together!” said Hideko.

“Yeah!” said Hayao, Hina, the friends of Hideko and the members of the Toyohama Thunder. Hideko, her friends and the members of the Toyohama Thunder have been getting along with each other at the beachfront with thrills and actions being made to make sure that they will have a fantastic day to enjoy their morning together. For Hideko’s brother Hayao and Fumitaka, they have found their respect with each other and so, they’ll be grateful enough to make friends, not to bicker for worse. Hopefully, Hideko and her friends and allies will continue their day to cap off the Fuchsia and Celadon Week because they’re ready to prosper the community through their willpower and make their future getting brighter for sure.

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 108: “Anju’s Beautiful Day with Her Energetic Friends”

The battle between Fumitaka’s team and Hayao’s team had been intense as they battled against each other back and forth as they split the series in the first two games before Hayao took the final throw on Fumitaka to take the victory for his team. Fumitaka and Hayao, whether they love or hate against each other, have showed their sportsmanship with each other after the game, thus they’ll never gonna fight against each other again after Fumitaka had accidentally hit Hayao at the back with the beachball when he hit it hard. Fumitaka’s resiliency made him feel cooler than expected when he didn’t give up in the second game and tried the same thing in the third game, but he had to concede it when he was finally defeated by one last shot from Hayao. It’s so great that the chaos had been put down after the match is over and everyone had been relieved about this.

Hi, everyone!:) As you all know, I'm not feeling well once again after the cough and running nose have bugged me already recently and it's unfortunate that it's still here, which means that I'm most likely not gonna get a booster shot that makes me immune from the COVID-19 for a while.:( I supposed that this one would be important for me and my family to stay safe from that virus and it seems that I might have gonna wait for the right time to have a booster one day. Also, it'll be a rough week for me because I'm probably busy with new drafts and revisions to prepare for the next set of updates. Hopefully, I'll be able to get the job done as soon as possible.;) Anyway, stay tuned for more updates of this and I hope that I'll be feeling well again once I'll finally get a chance to receive a booster to make me feel good on my body again!:) Now, it's time to head into the birthday corner before moving on to today's update!:)

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 108: “ANJU’S BEAUTIFUL DAY WITH HER ENERGETIC FRIENDS

Date: May 8, 2010 (Saturday)

This side story is focused on Anju Takeshima as she and her classmates are meeting with her former friends from the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta at the game room in the Recreational Center of the Misawa Resort Hotel.

Anju Takeshima and her friends from the Sinister Yellow are at the entrance of the game room in the Recreational Center of the Misawa Resort Hotel. The game room is the same place where Sakuya Matsukawa and her friends and relatives have stayed there. The Sinister Yellow is a group that is composed of Anju, its leader, and her classmates from her section 1-F.

Sinister Yellow: Anju Takeshima, Sukemasa Matsuwaki, Tsuneo Yamazaki, Koharu Miyaguchi, Fumino Ōtsuka, Chihiro Kanamori, Takuma Kobayashi, Sōichirō Ishimoto, Maika Sawamura, Ruka Edano and Ayaka Morimoto

“We have to wait for the other guys to be with us for today” said Anju.

“I wonder who’s gonna be coming to the game room with us” said Sukemasa Matsuwaki, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Sinister Yellow.

“Yeah, I was about to say the same thing, Sukemasa-san” said Tsuneo Yamazaki, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Sinister Yellow.

“Maybe, there are some former allies going to be with us for fun and excitement” said Koharu Miyaguchi, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Sinister Yellow.

“That’s right, Koharu! My former friends from my former group in the Dragons of Ōta are gonna be with us for today because they love to have some fun through playing games and of course, their favorite game is air hockey” said Anju.

“Oh, I love air hockey!” said Fumino Ōtsuka, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Sinister Yellow.

“I would be glad to play that one!” said Chihiro Kanamori, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Sinister Yellow.

“We should play some game of air hockey with them if they want to challenge us” said Takuma Kobayashi, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Sinister Yellow.

“Well, you guys are so excited about this, but they have also been interested in getting free toys in the claw machine” said Anju.

“The claw machine is where you have to get any object from the box and you have to gently make the object to the escape box” said Sukemasa.

“It’s going to be a challenge for you to get that object if you’re smart enough to get it gently” said Tsuneo.

“I think that I would try with that too!” said Fumino.

“Me too! I wanna get a try on that crane!” said Chihiro.

“This is going to be so much fun!” said Takuma.

“See, I told you that they’re ready for anything, Anju-san!” said Koharu.

“Yep! It will be amazing for us to stay there for just an hour before we’ll go somewhere else to enjoy with” said Anju.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Sinister Yellow.

“Oh, here they are!” said Anju as she sees her former friends from the Dragons of Ōta, who have just appeared from the stairway.

“Hi, Anju-san!” said the former friends of Anju from the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta.

“Hi, guys!” said Anju. The former members of the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta are wearing a gradient of yellow and orange shirt with the Japanese word ‘黄’ on the top right of it.

Sixth Batch of the Yellow Group: Sakura Ichinose, Harunobu Kojima, Kōki Ikegami, Wakaba Shiraishi, Kenichi Hoshino, Aika Morihara, Taiyō Tagawa, Yūki Kawaguchi, Tomoko Takanashi, Kazunori Nozaki, Nobumasa Suzuki, Suzuka Terashima, Koichiro Ōhashi, Azusa Ishihara, Tōru Asayama, Fumika Sano and Masao Matsushita

“So, Anju-san, why are we here?” asked Sakura Ichinose, a first year middle school student from the Kōjiya Middle School and the cousin of Yuto Ichinose.

“We also wonder the same thing” said Harunobu Kojima, a first year middle school student from the Kōjiya Middle School.

“Yeah, me too” said Kōki Ikegami, Wakaba Shiraishi and Kenichi Hoshino. They were all first year middle school students, but they were separated from their schools with Kōki coming from the Kamata Middle School and Wakaba and Kenichi coming from the Izumo Middle School.

“We’ll be going to the game room where we will have some fun playing some games that you’re going to enjoy” said Anju.

“Oh, okay, we get it now” said the former members of the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta.

“I hope that this one would be so good to enjoy before we’ll be getting more fun for more later on” said Sakura.

“We should be very confident that we will make a lot of moments to create with today” said Harunobu.

“That way, we will treasure this as memories for sure” said Kōki.

“Yes, indeed! Now, let’s go to the game room, everyone!” said Anju.

“Yeah!” said the friends of Anju and the former members of the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta as they alongside Anju are entering the game room. When they enter the game room, they were surprised to see a lot of gaming machines and arcades running that place. It also includes billiards and air hockey.

“Wow!” shouted Sukemasa.

“Amazing!” exclaimed Tsuneo.

“I never seen this place before!” said Sakura.

“This is huge!” said Harunobu.

“I can’t believe that this is an amazing place to play!” said Kōki.

“It’s more of a paradise!” said Wakaba.

“I have to say that this place is awesome!” said Koharu.

“This is going to be great that we will play some games out here!” said Fumino.

“It will be great enough to see how it’s running with a lot of people visiting this place for fun” said Chihiro.

“Yes, that’s true, Chihiro-san. This is where the guests of the Misawa Resort Hotel have used to visit this place if they are interested to play games for themselves. I had previously visited this place when Maho had invited me to this place last year where we have so much fun playing with various games that we loved the most. That’s why I want you to get some experience on this if you want to have some fun” said Anju.

“Yeah!” said the friends of Anju and the former members of the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta.

“First, we should play some game of ‘Shoot the Basketball’” said Anju.

“Okay! I’m going with that!” said Sukemasa.

“Yeah, count me in!” said Tsuneo.

“Me too!” said Harunobu.

“I can go with that because I’m good with this!” said Kōki.

“This one would be easy!” said Kenichi.

Sukemasa, Tsuneo, Harunobu, Kōki and Kenichi are facing the ‘Shoot the Ball’ arcade stand while Anju would explain the rules of the game.

“The rule of this game is to shoot the ball into the hoop to score a point and it will last for 60 seconds when the buzzer is sounded. The player with the most points being made wins the game. Are you understand?” said Anju.

“Okay, we understand, Anju-san!” said Sukemasa, Tsuneo, Harunobu, Kōki and Kenichi.

“Then, when the buzzer is sounded to start the game, start shooting the ball while the time is running. Just make sure that you don’t want to get exhausted while shooting the ball because you don’t want to waste your stamina too early” said Anju.

“Yeah!” said Sukemasa, Tsuneo, Harunobu, Kōki and Kenichi.

“This is going to be a stiff competition between the five of them” said Sakura.

“Yeah, Sakura-san. Both Harunobu and Kōki are very good in that game, even they have used to do that for extra practice when Anju let them shoot around while preparing for the Yaguchi Invitationals” said Wakaba.

“I agree, Wakaba-san! Those two have been solid enough to shoot their shots without losing their willpower” said Aika Morihara, a first year middle school student from the Ishikawadai Middle School.

“They have been very determined to work hard on those, so that they will be balling like the way it used to be” said Taiyō Tagawa, a first year middle school student from the Yaguchi Middle School.

“It will be amazing for them to see either of the two to get a high score on this challenge” said Yūki Kawaguchi, a first year middle school student from the Yaguchi Middle School.

“If they want to get back at it, then they should be good in shooting at those with their stamina” said Tomoko Takanashi, a first year middle school student from the Hada Middle School. She’s also the cousin of Runo Takanashi, but not the cousin of Shinako Takanashi due to her father Toshio is not related to Shinako’s family.

“So that, they will be able to improve their skills in shooting the balls to make themselves even better” said Kazunori Nozaki, a first year middle school student from the Rokugō Middle School.

“Yeah, I believe so, guys. Let’s see if things are about to be picked up for both of them if they have the guts to score as many points as they can” said Sakura.

“Yeah!” said the former members of the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta.

“Good luck, you two!” said Koharu.

“You can do it!” said Fumino.

“Show them what you got!” said Chihiro.

“You better knock them out with your own acceleration to shoot better” said Takuma.

“Okay, we will!” said Sukemasa and Tsuneo.

“On your mark, get set…” said Anju before blowing her whistle to start the game. “…go!”

Sukemasa, Tsuneo, Harunobu, Kōki and Kenichi would start shooting the balls together to see who has the most points being made in this challenge. The five boys are doing their best to shoot the balls through acceleration, so that they will be able to easily score a point. Harunobu and Kōki would compete for the highest score after successfully scoring more than 10 points in 30 seconds. However, Tsuneo was able to score 10 points when he banked the shot quickly after misses. In the closing seconds, Harunobu was able to score many than Kōki, but Tsuneo makes 6 straight shots to catch up on Harunobu.

Anju blows the whistle to end the challenge. “Time’s up!” The five boys would stop shooting the balls before Anju looks at the scoreboard. “Sukemasa had 7 points, Tsuneo had 17 points, Harunobu had 18 points, Kōki had 14 points and Kenichi had scored 10 points. And the winner of this challenge is Harunobu!”

“That’s almost a win for Tsuneo if he didn’t miss the last shot!” said Koharu.

“Yeah, but Harunobu had been balling out there as always” said Fumino.

“Wow! Harunobu and Kōki have clashed against each other in the first 45 seconds before Tsuneo started to catch up on Harunobu” said Chihiro.

“While Kōki had missed 5 out of the last 7 shots, which he failed to stop Harunobu” said Takuma.

“This challenge is a close game for the three of them” said Sōichirō Ishimoto, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Sinister Yellow.

“But Harunobu would stand tall as the player with the most points made” said Maika Sawamura, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Sinister Yellow.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Sinister Yellow.

Tsuneo would shake hands with Harunobu while speaking to him. “Nice game, Harunobu-san!”

“Yeah, me too!” said Harunobu.

“Hey, nice game too, boys!” said Kōki.

“So, what’s next, Anju-san?” asked Sakura.

“Card game!” said Anju while holding the color cards.

The montage shows the members of the Sinister Yellow facing off against the former members of the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta where they would pick cards and try to stay themselves into the game or they would be out of the game. It would be won by Koharu after eliminating Wakaba with one last move.

The next game would be a game of Dance Dance Revolution where Aika and Tomoko have performed well through their moves like the idols did. Anju, Koharu and Fumino have been dazzling enough to show their moves as well, so that they will be able to beat Aika and Tomoko. At the end, Koharu and Fumika took the victory over Aika and Tomoko.

The kart race would be next as the boys have battled against each other to see if they’re good enough to drive in a virtual race on arcade. Chihiro and Takuma were so good in driving like they’re about to be professionals in the future. This would be the same thing to Kazunori and Nobumasa as they have been doing well in trying to maintain themselves into the line while driving.

“Next up, the claw machine!” said Anju.

“Alright!” said the members of the Sinister Yellow and the former members of the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta as they alongside Anju are going to the crane machine to play the claw machine.

“So, you guys remember this when we have visited an arcade center in Ginza, right?” asked Anju.

“Yeah!” said the former members of the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta.

“As for the rest of you, since this is your first time to play this game, I will show you how it’s done” said Anju.

“Okay!” said the members of the Sinister Yellow.

Anju demonstrates the way of playing the claw machine where she chooses the stuff bear. “All you have to do is to use the controller to choose the object that you want to obtain before you gently careful hold the controller before reaching it to the drop box and there you go!”

“Oh, we get it now, Anju-san” said the members of the Sinister Yellow.

“I guess that this is what you can do that claw machine” said Sukemasa.

“I see it now. I can do that while closing my eyes” said Tsuneo.

“This one could be a piece of cake!” said Koharu.

“I’m going to get a new plush cat for myself!” said Fumino.

“This should be my lucky day!” said Chihiro.

“Let’s get it on!” said Takuma.

“Well, then, step right up and show what you got to get a free toy!” said Anju.

“Okay!” said the members of the Sinister Yellow and the former members of the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta. The order would be a member of the Sinister Yellow, followed by a former member of the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta and then, back to a member of the Sinister Yellow vice versa.

“I’m going to take the panda bear, guys!” said Sukemasa as he’s taking the panda bear from the crane machine. He had to gently careful holding the controller to make sure that the panda will be in the drop box and it’s good to go.

“Nice job, Sukemasa-san! I knew that you’re going to make it!” said Tsuneo.

“You must be smart enough to get that toy” said Koharu.

“Well, this is my first time to do this, guys. You should get used to it too if you want to have a free toy” said Sukemasa.

“Okay!” said Tsuneo and Koharu.

Then, it’s Sakura’s turn to play the claw machine where she manages to get a free stuff doll.

“Oh, isn’t that cute, Sakura-san?” asked Wakaba.

“Yes, she was! I’m very cuter than this toy, but I can keep it for my doll house collection” said Sakura.

“Ah, okay” said Wakaba.

“Wow! I can’t believe that you have your own collection dolls in your home, Sakura-san!” said Yūki.

“I say that you will be more of becoming a fashion designer one day” said Tomoko.

“You will be indulging yourself to have that if you can able to study hard” said Suzuka Terashima, a first year middle school student from the Kōjiya Middle School.

“I hope so, but it’s going to be a challenge for me to get it done” said Sakura.

“Yes, you should, Sakura-san. That’s because you’re a former member of the Dragons of Ōta and you had an ambitious dream to create with. You can make it through your heart” said Wakaba.

“Yeah, of course!” said Sakura.

It’s Tsuneo’s turn to get a free stuff toy and he was able to receive a stuff dog. “Hey, I got this one!”

“Wow! That stuff dog is fluffy!” said Sukemasa.

“That one is so cute!” said Sakura.

“Thanks, guys! I never hold a stuff toy like this in my life!” said Tsuneo.

“Yes, you are! I’m so excited that you will have a toy that you can put it on your collection” said Anju.

“I will have one someday, but I should be grateful enough to get another one” said Tsuneo.

“Yeah!” said Anju, Sukemasa and Sakura.

Then, Harunobu and Koharu have been able to get the stuff cats, but the difference is that their skin colors with Harunobu getting the white cat while Koharu getting the gray cat.

“Those stuff cats are feisty!” said Tsuneo.

“I have to say that they’re so charismatic” said Sukemasa.

“It would be great for you to play it” said Sakura.

“Yeah!” said Harunobu and Koharu.

“This cat is so nice that I can sleep with me at night” said Harunobu.

“Mine has beautiful eyes when you look at it” said Koharu.

“You got yourself earned to have those for yourselves, guys. Nice job!” said Anju.

“Thanks, Anju-san!” said Harunobu and Koharu.

Fumino, Kōki and Wakaba would take their turns separately to get a free toy. Fumino grabs the stuff bear, Kōki grabs the stuff pig and Wakaba grabs the stuff dog.

“Wow! Those toys are so gorgeous!” said Sakura.

“I can’t believe that you got them!” said Harunobu.

“Yes, we are!” said Kōki and Wakaba.

“Mine is a stuff pig where its body is almost big than its head” said Kōki.

“As for me, I got a stuff dog. This toy could be perfect to play with my own dog Coco” said Wakaba.

“Oh, that’s very nice!” said Sakura.

“I’m glad that you have some lucky toys in your hands!” said Harunobu.

“Yeah!” said Kōki and Wakaba.

“That’s a nice toy of yours, Fumino-san!” said Anju.

“Yeah, it’s a stuff bear. This guy is so adorable to play with!” said Fumino.

“Hey, I think that we can play stuff bears with my own stuff bear” said Sukemasa.

“Well, we could definitely do that, but we should play that at some other time” said Fumino.

“It would be great that we can gather these stuff toys to play one day” said Tsuneo.

“That way, it will be awesome enough to have a ‘Animal Crossing’-style role play where we can play our toys if you ask me” said Koharu.

“Yes, we could, Koharu-san, but for right now, we still have a lot of things to prioritize with like studies and group projects” said Fumino.

“Oh, right!” said Sukemasa.

“I guess so” said Tsuneo.

“We should definitely focus on that first, then the fun time will be up next” said Koharu.

“As soon as we’re done on those, then we will play with some toys soon” said Anju.

“Yeah, you’re right about that!” said Fumino.

Later, the other members of the Sinister Yellow and the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta have managed to get their own stuff toys, especially Masao Matsushita, who was able to get a stuff goat.

“Oh, my goodness! That one is so adorable!” said Azusa Ishihara, a first year middle school student from the Hasunuma Middle School.

“You must be crazy when you’re trying to get that one!” said Koichiro Ōhashi, a first year middle school student from the Yaguchi Middle School.

“No, I’m not, Koichiro! This goat could be used for my entry in the mascot making contest of the Haneda Shooters BB, sponsored by FoRM Apparel very soon” said Masao Matsushita, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School.

“Whoa! Wait a minute, Masao. Are you going to participate in that contest?” reacted Tōru Asayama, a first year middle school student from the Yasukata Middle School.

“You’re too young to compete in that contest!” said Fumika Sano, a first year middle school student from the Yasukata Middle School.

“Well, I guess that my father can compete that anyway. I mean, he’s a great designer and illustrator” said Masao.

“Of course, he would, Masao-san. However, maybe, you can use that toy as a model for your group activity that your teacher had assigned to you” said Koichiro.

“It would be a great chance for you to inspire that and make something creative” said Azusa.

“That would be better!” said Masao.

“You finally had an idea that you’re going to take up with” said Tōru.

“It’s going to be great that you will have some plans in working on your activity. Your teacher will be surprised if you have done something big” said Fumika.

“I hope so. I will try my best to find something creative, so that it will be good enough for me to make this activity more magnificent” said Masao.

“Yeah, we agree, Masao-san!” said Koichiro, Azusa, Tōru and Fumika.

“Now, it’s time to head into the final activity before we’ll be taking a break, which will be the air hockey” said Anju.

“Oh, this is what we’re all been waiting for!” said Sakura.

“I can’t wait to play this one!” said Harunobu.

“I would be happy to have a great battle right here!” said Kōki.

“I’m interested on this!” said Wakaba.

“It will be great that we will see who’s good in this sport!” said Kenichi.

“Hopefully, this is going to be so much fun than the other activities earlier” said Aika.

“Yeah, I agree with that, Aika! Now, let’s go to the air hockey stand and play!” said Anju.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Sinister Yellow and the former members of the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta as they alongside Anju are going to the air hockey stand where they’re about to play a game of air hockey.

“So, what are the rules?” asked Sukemasa.

“Two players will play against each other by using their handles to move the puck in different places and the player who puts the puck to the goal line scores a point. The game will end if a team scores 7 points to win” said Anju.

“Ah, okay!” said the members of the Sinister Yellow.

“We get it now, Anju-san” said the former members of the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta.

“Since we’re too many, we’re going to have a game. Each team will have 7 members to square off against each other. As always, the team that reaches 7 points wins the game. For the left side, it will be Sakura, Harunobu, Kōki, Wakaba, Kenichi, Aika and Taiyō while for the right side, I will be teaming up with Sukemasa, Tsuneo, Koharu, Fumino, Chihiro and Takuma” said Anju.

“Alright! Anju-san is going to be with us!” said Sukemasa.

“That’s right, Sukemasa-san! Anju had been good in air hockey because she’s so smart to put the puck to the goal line like the way she used to be” said Tsuneo.

“Also, her cousin Akira Yanagisawa had played amateur ice hockey in the prefectural hockey league” said Koharu.

“Which means that she can emulate the moves that her uncle did” said Fumino.

“Although she’s not interested in that sport, she’s very proud of him that he had played that sport after all” said Chihiro.

“She’s very determined that her cousin will do his best to have a great career in ice hockey because he can dazzle his way to get the goal for sure!” said Takuma.

“Yeah, of course!” said Sukemasa.

“You’re right about my cousin, guys! My cousin had been good enough to shine his ice hockey career and he will not lose his willpower when he’s shining his own team because he’s ready to put the goal to score” said Anju.

“Yeah!” said Sukemasa, Tsuneo, Koharu, Fumino, Chihiro and Takuma.

“Now, let’s score a victory in this exhibition game!” said Anju.

“Yeah!” said Sukemasa, Tsuneo, Koharu, Fumino, Chihiro and Takuma.

“We should work together to win this match against Anju’s team” said Sakura.

“Yeah, we should be good enough to take her team out because we’re good at this!” said Harunobu.

“Hopefully, we’re all set to show some moves and prove that we’re taking care of business” said Kōki.

“Yeah, you got it, Kōki-san!” said Sakura.

“In that case, me, Ruka and Ayaka will be officiating this match, so that we’ll make sure that everything is fair” said Masao.

“We will be grateful if you guys will have a good team against your opponents” said Ruka Edano, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Sinister Yellow.

“That way, there will be no arguments or brawls going to happen in this match because this game room has its own policy of no fighting” said Ayaka Morimoto, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a member of the Sinister Yellow.

“Okay, we will!” said Anju and the members of the Sinister Yellow.

“You guys would do the same thing if you want to make this game a good one” said Masao.

“Of course, we would!” said Sakura, Harunobu, Kōki, Wakaba, Kenichi, Aika and Taiyō.

“We should be more confident to play a good game because it’s part of the game where everyone must respect the game of air hockey” said Sakura.

“It’s going to be nice that we’ll have to make this game more beautiful” said Harunobu.

“Yeah, air hockey should be a good game for everyone to show themselves” said Kōki.

“We should be great for us to have some fun while playing that game” said Wakaba.

“That way, this game would be enjoyable to make our lives easier” said Kenichi.

“Yeah, I agree with that, guys! So, don’t make a fight against your opponents” said Masao.

“Okay!” said Sakura, Harunobu, Kōki, Wakaba, Kenichi, Aika and Taiyō.

“Now, are you ready for this match, guys?” asked Ruka.

“Yeah, we’re ready!” said the members of Anju’s team and Sakura’s team.

“Okay, they’re good!” said Ruka.

“Alright, then, let the game begin!” said Ayaka.

Masao asks Anju and Sakura to play a game of ‘rock-paper-scissors’ to determine on who will be going first. “Now, play a game of ‘rock-paper-scissors’ to see who goes first.”

“Okay!” said Anju and Sakura as they play a game of ‘rock-paper-scissors’ to determine on who will play first. “Rock, paper, scissors… shoot!” Anju had picked scissors while Sakura had picked paper, which means Anju will play first.

“Alright, I got the first play!” said Anju.

“So, Anju will take the first turn of this game!” said Masao.

“Great job, Anju-san!” said Sukemasa.

“Thanks, Sukemasa! Now, let’s get it on!” said Anju.

“Yeah!” said Sukemasa, Tsuneo, Koharu, Fumino, Chihiro and Takuma.

“You may start serving, Anju-san!” said Masao.

“Okay, you got it!” said Anju as she starts playing by moving the puck with her handle. Sakura would respond it by moving the puck gently. Then, Anju and Sakura would battle against each other in trying to get the puck into the goal line. A few seconds later, Anju would quickly push the puck through the right and sends it to the goal to score the first goal of the game.

“Wow! That was a nice start, Anju!” said Koharu.

“That reminds me of your cousin doing that move when he was in high school” said Fumino.

“I agree, Fumino! I used to watch him on his games when he entered into the amateur league a few years ago and I want to remind him by showing my own moves” said Anju.

“Well, you should be proud of him because you had blessed him to have a good ice hockey career” said Koharu.

“He will be great enough to show his moves like he’s going to go for the goal” said Fumino.

“Yes, I will!” said Anju.

“Alright, Anju-san, it’s my turn to take this guy out” said Sukemasa.

“Here’s the handle” said Anju.

“Thanks, Anju-san!” said Sukemasa. “Prepare yourself for a fight, Harunobu-san!”

“You wish!” said Harunobu.

The play continues with both Harunobu and Sukemasa playing against each other to see who is good enough to make the puck going to the goal line. They have been great enough to show their moves, but it was Sukemasa surprising Harunobu when the former takes the advantage og Harunobu’s slow moving on the puck by sending the puck to the goal line easily.

“It’s 2-0 for the Anju’s team!” said Ruka.

“That surprise by Sukemasa is so good!” said Sōichirō.

“He can sneak at somebody with a surprise move!” said Maika.

“Of course, he was! He’s not a good air hockey player, but he got his own tricks to play with!” said Ayaka.

“Well, I have to say that Sukemasa is making tricks when he played air hockey” said Sōichirō.

“He would be smart enough to make sure that he will score for Anju’s team” said Maika.

“Yep! You’re right about that!” said Ruka while Ayaka nods her head to agree with Sōichirō and Maika.

“Great move, Sukemasa! That move was so stunning!” said Anju.

“Yep! I can deal with that if my opponent isn’t doing enough to reach the goal line. I’m very weak at getting into the goal line, but I’m improving though” said Sukemasa.

“Well, good for you!” said Anju.

“It’s my turn to take the puck to the goal line!” said Tsuneo.

“Yeah, go for it, Tsuneo-san!” said Sukemasa.

“You can do it!” said Koharu.

“Just make us proud!” said Fumino.

“I’m on it!” said Tsuneo as he’s taking on Kōki, who is representing for Sakura’s team.

“This should be a piece of cake!” said Kōki.

“Here I come!” said Tsuneo as he moves the puck to resume the game. Both Tsuneo and Kōki are battling against each other where they used to their handles to move the puck, trying to reach it to the goal line to score, but no to avail. A few seconds later, Kōki takes the smart move by pushing the puck through his speed, sending it to the goal line to get the first score for Sakura’s team.

“And Sakura’s team is now getting the first point of the game. The score is now 2-1!” said Masao.

“Great job, Kōki-san!” said Sakura.

“You did it!” said Harunobu.

“Thanks, guys! See, I told you that I can do like that!” said Kōki.

“Of course, you are! You have done that like you did that before when you faced off against your opponent” said Sakura.

“You’re more dazzling, I tell you!” said Harunobu.

“Yep!” said Kōki.

“It’s okay, Tsuneo-san. I can handle this” said Koharu.

“Okay, then” said Tsuneo while giving Koharu the handle.

“Looks like it’s Koharu’s turn to represent for us” said Sukemasa.

“Yep. I wonder what’s going to do when she’ll battle against Wakaba” said Chihiro.

“Well, she said to me that she had learned the basic moves of the air hockey, but we’ll see if she can respond it back” said Anju.

“Ah, okay” said Sukemasa and Chihiro.

The game resumes, but this time, Wabaka starts her turn to move the puck with her handle, which Koharu takes it back. Both girls would battle against each other with their speed and acceleration being used. Then, Wakaba was able to score another point for Sakura’s team by sending the puck away through the left and moving to the goal line.

“Now, it’s tied at 2!” said Masao.

“Sakura’s team is getting the upper hand right now with two straight points!” said Ruka.

“Oh, this is going to be intense between both teams and I’m feeling prepared for this!” said Ayaka.

“Yeah, I know!” said Masao.

“Of course, it is!” said Ruka.

“Nice play, Wakaba-san!” said Yūki.

“You’re good enough to take another point for us!” said Tomoko.

“Yes, I am!” said Wakaba.

“Since we got two goals to score, we will possibly have a chance to take the lead” said Kōki.

“Yep! I say that we got moving after a bad start, but it’s going to take a while to overcome this until we got 7 points” said Wakaba.

“Yeah!” said Kōki.

“Now, who goes next?” asked Sakura.

“My turn!” said Kenichi.

“You’re right, Kenichi-san! Go get them!” said Sakura while Wakaba gives Kenichi the handle.

“Okay!” said Kenichi as he’s ready to take on Fumino. “I’m going to make sure that you don’t have what it takes to beat me!”

“Well, then, I’ll teach you a lesson for your team that you scored two points to tie this game!” said Fumino.

“Let’s see!” said Kenichi while moving the puck with his handle.

“I’ll go with this one!” said Fumino as she fights back by moving the puck with her handle.

“Oh, my goodness! That girl was so fast!” said Masao.

“She’s going for the goal #3!” said Ruka.

“Yeah, I believe so. She’s going to take it back to score for Anju’s team” said Ayaka.

Kenichi and Fumino would move their handles by giving the puck some speed, however, they haven’t reached the goal line yet. Kenichi would move the puck to the goal line, but Fumino blocks it soundly.

“Oh, I see. You want games, then I’ll go with that!” said Kenichi as he tries to move the puck with a speeder rating. However, Fumino fights it back to block Kenichi’s chances to score another goal. Then, Kenichi tries to move the puck with his handle, but misses it as the puck goes all the way to the goal, but he saves it with a smash. Fumino would answer it back by moving the puck with the same amount of Kenichi’s speed and the puck sends to the goal line to score for 3-2 for Anju’s team.

“I got a point!” said Fumino.

“Oh, you got to be kidding me!” reacted Kenichi.

“See, I told you that I’m good at this! I can match your speed with mine, so that I will get an easy score against you!” said Fumino.

“Fine, be that way, but I’m not done yet!” said Kenichi.

“And Anju’s team is now back at 3-2, but can Sakura’s team answer it again to tie this up?” asked Masao.

“Let’s see how things going well in the next play” said Ruka.

The montage shows the next set of plays where things are about to be intense between Anju’s team and Sakura’s team. In the next play, Aika defeated Chihiro to tie the game at 3 apiece and then, Taiyō fended off Takuma with a speed blitz to send the puck to the goal line to take the lead. Then, Anju responded with a point of her own by sending the puck to the goal line while Sakura misses the chance to move the puck quickly. After that, Sukemasa tries to regain the lead, but Harunobu was able to defend his team to score a point, which is now 5-4.

Then, Anju raises her hand as she asks Masao if her team will get a timeout. “Timeout, please?”

“Okay!” said Masao.

Anju and her friends from the Sinister Yellow are having a little talk.

“So, we’re down by at least a point and it seems that Sakura’s team is getting some hustle out there” said Anju.

“Yeah, of course!” said the members of the Sinister Yellow.

“Then, how are we supposed to fight it back?” asked Harunobu.

“Well, my idea is to bring Koharu and Fumino going to battle against Kōki and Wakaba and then, I will decide on who will be going next after them” said Anju.

“Does that mean that you’re going to skip me?” asked Tsuneo.

“Yep. Since you didn’t able to score a point, I will adjust the order, so that we will have a chance to score it back and regain the lead” said Anju.

“Ah, okay” said Tsuneo.

“But why are you picking Koharu? She lost to Wakaba earlier, right?” queried Sukemasa.

“Yeah, I know, but Koharu should be better to battle against Kōki because she had a great speed than Kōki and she can make her moves to stop Kōki to score another one” said Anju.

“Well, then, I hope that it works” said Sukemasa.

“Of course, Harunobu. Just leave it to her!” said Anju.

“Yeah, you heard what Anju said, Sukemasa-san. I’ll have to beat that Kōki if we can tie the game again” said Koharu.

“Okay, then, do it!” said Sukemasa.

“Yes, I will!” said Koharu.

The timeout for Anju’s team is over and Koharu will be facing off against Kōki in the next play.

“Take this!” said Kōki as he takes his turn to move the puck with his handle while Koharu moves it away with her own handle. Both Koharu and Kōki would use their moves to pluck the puck in trying to reach it to the goal line, but no to avail.

When Kōki tries to seize it by creating his speed to move the puck away from Koharu’s goal line to his goal line, Koharu would answer it back with her own speed. “If you want to score in your way, then I’ll answer it back to you!”

Koharu’s speed makes the puck going to the goal line and it drops to it to tie the game at 5.

“And Anju’s team had fought back with another speed blitz!” said Ruka.

“That means, it’s tied up again!” said Ayaka.

“Great job, Ayaka-san!” said Sukemasa.

“That speed blitz was so awesome!” said Tsuneo.

“I never expect that you had a move to do that, but that was so good!” said Fumino.

“Thanks, guys! I’m feeling alright with this because I’m very good in making speed blitzes while I’m playing this” said Koharu.

“Yes, you are, Koharu. You deserve it!” said Anju while giving Koharu a thumbs-up.

“Of course, I am!” said Koharu before giving the handle to Fumino. “Now, score another one for us!”

“Okay, I’m on it!” said Fumino.

“I’m going to take on that girl!” said Wakaba as she’s going to take on Fumino, in trying to answer it back.

“Here we go!” said Masao while seeing Fumino taking her turn to move the puck with her handle. Wakaba would respond it back with her own move, using her handle to push the puck away from the goal line. However, Fumino would use a smart move by pushing the puck quickly to score another point for Anju’s team.

“And once again, Anju’s team had taken the lead!” said Ruka.

“The score is now 6-5!” said Ayaka.

“So, it’s going to be a match point for Anju’s team as they will try to close it out with another point to win this game” said Masao.

“Nice move, Fumino-san!” said Koharu while giving Fumino a high five.

“Thanks, Koharu-san! I did it to copy your moves with my own way” said Fumino.

“Well, you surprise me when you did that move” said Koharu.

“Yep!” said Fumino.

“Since we’re on the lead again, I think that it’s time to pick another member to take the match point” said Tsuneo.

“That’s right, Tsuneo-san, but we will wait on our opponents’ side on who will be picking with” said Anju.

“Yeah!” said Sukemasa, Tsuneo, Koharu, Fumino, Chihiro and Takuma.

Before they know it, Aika would be taking her turn for Sakura’s team. Sukemasa reacts first. “Oh, great! Here comes Aika-san!”

“That means, we need someone who can match against him” said Koharu.

“So that, we will be able to rally our way to victory” said Fumino.

“Yes, that’s my point. So, I will give it to Takuma to stop that girl” said Anju.

“Okay, if you say so” said Takuma as he’s going to battle against Aika for the match point of Anju’s team.

“No way! Are they picking Takuma?” shouted Sōichirō.

“Yeah, Sōichirō-san. Takuma had been defeated by Taiyō earlier, but I hope that he will be alright to defeat Aika and win the match his team” said Maika.

“Ah, this is going to be crucial to stop that girl” said Sōichirō.

“I believe so, but I hope that he will be lucky enough to stop her” said Maika.

“Yeah” said Sōichirō.

“I hope that you will be able to beat that guy and force the rubber match” said Yūki.

“Yeah, Yūki-san. I’ll try my best” said Aika.

“Just don’t lose your acceleration while you’re battling against him” said Tomoko.

“You better make some moves if you want to tie this game up” said Kazunori.

“Think well before you move” said Nobumasa Suzuki, a first year middle school student from the Izumo Middle School.

“That’s what we used while having a practice on air hockey” said Suzuka.

“Okay, I won’t let you down, guys!” said Aika.

“Yes, you will!” said Yūki, Tomoko, Kazunori, Nobumasa and Suzuka.

“Just pay attention to the puck, Aika-san” said Sakura.

“Don’t blow this moment for us” said Harunobu.

“Make sure that you’re on the move” said Kōki.

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

The game resumes with Takuma pushing the puck with his handle before Aika responding back with her own push to allow the puck to move onto the goal line. Then, Takuma had been able to move the puck away from the goal line to push it to his own goal line, but Aika had responded back once again with her own push. It would be a battle of strength between them and it will be great to see who they will take the point.

“Oh, this is very interesting!” said Masao.

“Both Takuma and Aika are battling against each other with their speed and acceleration being used” said Ruka.

“But we don’t know who will be getting the score on that one” said Ayaka.

“Just wait and see until who will get the point, girls” said Masao.

“Yeah!” said Ruka and Ayaka.

“Come on, Takuma-san! You can do it!” said Sukemasa.

“You got that one now!” said Anju.

“Make sure that you will let him slip!” said Sakura.

“Just find a way to score!” said Harunobu.

“Okay!” said Takuma and Aika.

“Take that!” said Aika while pushing the puck away as she tries to reach it to the goal line.

“Oh no, you don’t!” said Takuma as he moves the puck with his own handle through a speed blitz. Aika tries to answer it back, but it was too late as she misses it and sends the puck to the goal line, receiving the match point for Anju’s team, thus the game is over.

“Game over! Anju’s team wins the game!” said Masao. Anju and her friends from the Sinister Yellow have celebrated their victory with the boys giving Takuma some high fives.

“Alright, we did it!” said Anju.

“Oh, yeah! We won!” said Sukemasa.

“Way to go, Takuma-san!” said Tsuneo.

“That speed blitz was so blurry!” said Chihiro.

“Nice finish out there, boy!” said Koharu.

“You’re awesome!” said Fumino.

“You’re looking good right, Takuma-san!” said Sōichirō.

“I’m so glad that you finally nailed the match point for your team!” said Maika.

“You’re doing great right now!” said Ruka.

“I’m so proud of you!” said Ayaka.

“Thanks, guys!” said Takuma. “I knew that you guys have counted on me. It feels so great that I’m a lucky boy now!”

“Yes, you are!” said Aika while giving Takuma a handshake.

“Oh, Aika-san, you’re here!” said Takuma.

“Yep! That was a nice finish that you did and I was stunned when you did that!” said Aika.

“Of course, it is! I can overcome with my way to score, Aika-san” said Takuma.

“Yeah, you’re good at it!” said Aika.

“Yes, I am!” said Takuma.

“Well, that was a great game, Anju-san. I can’t believe that my team had lost the match to your team” said Sakura while giving Anju a handshake.

“Yeah, you too. We’re putting a great show to make it happen, Sakura” said Anju.

“Yes, indeed!” said Sakura.

“All’s well that ends well, guys” said Harunobu.

“Yep! That game of air hockey is so good that we’re showing our auras during that one!” said Sukemasa.

“It made us feel thrilling when we’re playing against each other” said Tsuneo.

“Yeah, for sure! I have to say that this is the best game that we ever battled” said Harunobu.

“It makes us grateful that our smiles have never been lost when we were having a great fight against each other” said Kōki.

“It’s the best, I tell you!” said Wakaba.

“You’re right about that, Wakaba-san! We have so many memories that we will never forget this because this is the best day that we gotten along with each other for just a day!” said Koharu.

“Hopefully, it is going to be amazing that we’re going to make this day more blooming and more harmonious because it’s the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Fumino.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Sukemasa, Tsuneo, Harunobu, Kōki and Wakaba.

“It feels great that we have a great day that we will never forget because it’s indeed the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week” said Sakura.

“Yep! We will make sure that we will indulge ourselves to make sure that we’ll have a great day for all of us. Right, everyone?” said Anju.

“Yeah, we will!” said the members of the Sinister Yellow and the former members of the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta.

“Now, let’s get out of the game room and have some mid-afternoon snack outside!” said Anju.

“Okay!” said the members of the Sinister Yellow and the former members of the Yellow Group of the Dragons of Ōta as they alongside Anju are leaving the game room, so that they will have a mid-afternoon snack at the central park in the Misawa Resort Hotel. Anju and her friends have made so much fun to indulge themselves while having a great playtime with each other including the air hockey, which is considered the best for them. They have always prepared themselves for run because they don’t want to give up their willpower, so that they will be able to get it done through their smiles that they need. It will be amazing for Anju and her friends to show their smiles with each other as they have enjoyed themselves to make sure that they will never forget their moments for themselves.

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 109: “BEYOND THE RAINBOW WITH THE GRACEFUL FRIENDS IN KŌTŌ

Date: May 2, 2010 (Sunday)

This side story is focused on the Bravehearts of Kōtō as they are getting along with their new members at the Bravehearts Room, which is located at the top floor of their homeplace, the Tatsumi Mirai Towers.

In the Tatsumi Mirai Towers, located in Tatsumi, the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō are doing some karaoke singing at the music room where they have performed anime songs and J-pop songs by learning the lyrics. After that, they leave together to go to the Bravehearts Room, the place where all members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō have used to stay there for relaxation.

“Wow! I’m impressed with your performance, Marika-san!” said Kotoko Hachiuma, a first year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. She’s also one of the vice leaders of the Bravehearts of Kōtō alongside Ruka Nagamine and Seiichirō Murakawa.

“You must be dazzling when you’re singing in front of us!” said Emiko Kishida, a first year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“You’re going to be great enough to be a singer one day after you’re done in basketball” said Ruka Nagamine, a second year high school student from the Funahashi High School and one of the three co-vice leaders of the Bravehearts of Kōtō alongside Kotoko and Seiichirō.

“Well, I can have an opportunity to become a singer if I want to, girls, but for right now, I will focus on playing basketball before I will take my ventures on other things in the future” said Marika Fujimi, a first year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Then, you have to live up your expectations if you want to be a superstar just like how we run in our team” said Chiya Takamoto, a first year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“You will be amazing enough to show your pride and willpower to make us proud” said Minami Ishijima, a first year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Yeah, I will! I will do my best if I’ll shine my way through my aura for sure!” said Marika.

“That’s my girl!” said Kotoko.

“Yep! She’s very determined with her desires, Kotoko!” said Ruka.

“I’m very thrilled that you have high hopes aside from basketball!” said Emiko.

“I will be grateful that you’re going to shine your way with your smile, so that you’ll make us happy that we have gotten along with each other” said Chiya.

“Hopefully, you’ll be more determined to represent for us because we’re the Bravehearts of Kōtō” said Minami.

“The group that we always run through our determination” said Koharu Yagami, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Funahashi Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“We will do our best in making our group more blooming and more harmonious with our hopes and dreams that we created with” said Kaguya Sunakawa, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Funahashi Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. She’s also the relative of Shioriko Mifune, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, as Kaguya’s father Kōichirō Sunakawa and Shioriko’s mother Shigeko Mifune are distant cousins due to their respective fathers are brothers.

“So that, we’ll make sure that we’re gonna be blessed…” said Haruyo Aiuchi, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Funahashi Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“…and inspired to bring happiness into our community” said Eriko Haruno, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Funahashi Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“We will be delighted to make our dreams come true if we have been earned and so, this is what we will do to make us blessed and inspired” said Nanako Kiyomoto, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Funahashi Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Yeah, you’re right about that, girls! We’re always coming out to shine like the way we used to be! We’ll do this for ourselves!” said Marika.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Since we’re together today at our homeplace, we should have some fun to make this day shining” said Yutaro Hoshimiya, a first year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“That way, we’ll be great enough to have a wonderful day today” said Masaru Shigeta, a first year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Yeah, of course, boys! Sunday is a special day for us and we should be more confident that we will have our moments to create with” said Kotoko.

“That’s right, Kotoko-san! Every time that we have an activity like this, we will have so much fun to shine ourselves” said Fūko Nishitani, a first year middle school student from the Tōyōchō Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. She’s also a rival of Kotoko Hachiuma.

“This is the part where we will indulge ourselves to make sure that we’re having a great day to enjoy with” said Rika Okumoto, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tōyōchō Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“The more that enjoyed together, the better that we will have our friendship getting better and better” said Maiko Senda, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Tōyōchō Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Yep! I agree with that, girls! Of course, with the expansion of our braveheart group, we will be more blessed and inspired to have new members on our side, so that they will become friends with us at all” said Ruka.

“It’s going to be fantastic that we will have new friends to take part of our group, so that they will be with us to get involved in making our community getting brighter with hopes and dreams” said Kira Fukuhara, a second year high school student from the Funahashi High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“We will work together to shine together with our auras, so that everyone will be thrilled to inspire us for sure!” said Satomi Kikumoto, a second year high school student from the Funahashi High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Right now, it’s going to be awesome that we will have some new members to join with us” said Fumika Tachibana, a third year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Oh, really?!” surprisingly shouted Kotoko.

“Are they gonna be here?” asked Emiko.

“No way! Are you serious?” reacted Marika.

“Yep! They’re coming with us right now alongside Shunichi, Seiichirō and Tatsuo” said Fumika.

“Who’s gonna be, Fumika-san?” asked Chiya.

“Yeah, we wanna know!” said Minami.

“You’ll find out when the bell rings” said Fumika.

A few seconds later, a doorbell had been rung at the door of the Bravehearts Room.

“I’ll get it!” said Ruka as she opens the door to see who they are coming. Just expected, Shunichi, Seiichirō and Tatsuo are all present alongside Minako Shiratori, Kayoko Takano and Sumiko Furutani. Minako, Kayoko and Sumiko are second year middle school students from the Funahashi Middle School and members of the Funahashi Middle School girls’ basketball team.

“Hi, Ruka-san! I brought some new members out here!” said Shunichi Ōikawa, a second year high school student from the Funahashi High School and the leader of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Oh, that’s very nice! Let them in!” said Ruka.

“Okay!” said Shunichi.

Fumika would finally meet Minako, Kayoko and Sumiko as she greets them sweetly. “Well, if isn’t Minako, Kayoko and Sumiko, I’m so glad that you’re here!”

“Yes, we are, Fumika-san!” said Minako, Kayoko and Sumiko.

“We came here because we want to have some fun staying here since we’re now part of the Bravehearts of Kōtō” said Minako Shiratori.

“Kotoko had asked the three of us to join that group” said Kayoko Takano.

“Where we gladly accepted it” said Sumiko Furutani.

“That’s why it will be great that we can get along with each other, so that we’ll be able to develop our friendship with you and your fellow members” said Minako.

“Of course, you can, girls! Please, come in with us!” said Fumika.

“Okay!” said Minako, Kayoko and Sumiko as they remove their footwear while placing their bags at the table that occupied the bags of the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“So, who are those girls?” asked Yutaro.

“I’m glad you ask! Kotoko had invited those three to be part of our group and they accepted it” said Fumika.

“These three girls have been part of my team, the Funahashi Middle School girls’ basketball team. They have been very dazzling enough to show their moves like they’re about to become superstars one day” said Kotoko.

“Ah, I finally get it now!” said Yutaro.

“It’s so nice to see you, girls!” said Emiko while giving the three a smile.

“I’m so happy that you’re all here to be part of our group that will shine our community in Kōtō” said Marika.

“Not only that you girls have been part of the basketball team, but you’re all comfortable to get involved in making our community being full of hopes and dreams to create with” said Chiya.

“I hope that you will be thrilled enough to make us blessed and inspired by starting your own future with us” said Minami.

“Well, I can count on that, girls!” said Minako.

“I’m very interested to make friends with you!” said Kayoko.

“We’ll be delighted to get close with each other because we love to make new friends” said Sumiko.

“Well, then, it’s going to be fantastic that you’re all part of our group and hopefully, we’ll work together like how we used to make blissful hopes and wonderful dreams to everyone” said Kotoko.

“That way, you’ll be able to get blessed and inspired by them” said Ruka.

“Yeah, we will!” said Minako, Kayoko and Sumiko.

“By the way, guys, while we accompanied them, I had brought some pizza if you want” said Seiichirō Murakawa, a second year high school student from the Funahashi High School and one of the three co-vice leaders of the Bravehearts of Kōtō alongside Ruka and Kotoko.

“It’s a vegetarian pizza fresh from the pizza house in Tatsumi” said Tatsuo Egami, a second year high school student from the Funahashi High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. He’s also the cousin of Airi Egami, a member of the Bravehearts of Minato.

“Alright! I want some pizza!” said Yutaro.

“Oh, this is awesome, boys!” said Kotoko.

“Oh, yeah! I’m going to get one!” said Emiko.

The members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō would pick one slice of pizza that was brought by Seiichirō.

Fumika would ask Minako, Kayoko and Sumiko if they want a slice of pizza as well. “Would you like to get a slice of pizza?”

“You bet!” said Minako, Kayoko and Sumiko.

Fumika would give Minako, Kayoko and Sumiko a slice to pizza. “There you go!”

“Thank you very much, Fumika-san!” said Minako, Kayoko and Sumiko before eating their slice of pizza.

“Oh, it’s so delicious!” said Minako.

“I’m liking this flavor!” said Kayoko.

“Yeah, me too!” said Sumiko.

“I’m so glad that Seiichirō had brought this pizza for us, Kotoko-chan!” said Koharu.

“He’s falling in love with that pizza like he had brought some boxes for us” said Fūko.

“Yep! Seiichirō had always being determined that he had liked pizza ever since he was a little kid. It’s so nice that he had been a pizza lover for a long time and he had given us some pizza as a treat whenever our group had been able to accomplish something big” said Kotoko.

“Well, I’m very motivated when we saw him bringing some pizza as he’s always be there to give us like that” said Koharu.

“It will be amazing that he will bring some pizza in different flavors, so that we’re going to take a look at those” said Fūko.

“Of course, we should! When he’s treating for us, you’ll make him happy with a smile” said Kotoko.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Koharu and Fūko.

“Why are those three new members deciding to stay with us, Kira-san?” asked Kaguya.

“I’m glad that you asked!” said Kira before explaining the answer to Kaguya. “You see, they want to spend time with us for their first day of being members of our group.”

“We were surprised about that announcement when Kotoko said that she had her own plan to make our group getting expanded with new members to join” said Satomi.

“I guess so. I’m very glad that Kotoko had been able to welcome new members like those three because she wants them to get involved in making our community ready to shine for the future of Kōtō” said Kaguya.

“We always believe in miracles, but we want to be more determined to making our group running with our auras to show that we’re good in blessing everyone in our hometown” said Haruyo.

“As the expansion of our group is ongoing, we will still look forward to make bigger blessings and inspirations to our community, so that we will make them more motivated to live up with their dreams” said Eriko.

“We’re very confident that we can do this together and hopefully, we’ll do our best to have a strong and healthy relationship with everyone on our side” said Nanako.

“Yeah, we agree with that, girls!” said Kira and Satomi.

“When the three braveheart groups have been formed on the same day” said Kira.

“Composed of the Bravehearts of Minato, the Bravehearts of Takanawa and the Bravehearts of Kōtō” said Satomi.

“We have our own dreams to take care of because we want to shine like how the other braveheart groups did from different places” said Kira.

“Any braveheart group can have their own ambition to take care of and so, it will be great for us to do what they did for their community” said Satomi.

“Yeah, you’re right about that!” said Kaguya while Haruyo, Eriko and Nanako nod their heads in agreement. “I think that we should start making progress of our group, so that we want to be like them by showing some pride and willpower to make us blessed!”

“Most of the braveheart groups have been determined to make the difference for them to bring blessings into their community because they always believe that they want to develop their better friendship with them” said Haruyo.

“So, if we want to be like them, then all we have to do is to step up and rise together through our auras” said Eriko.

“The more that we work together as a braveheart group, the better that we will have our future getting brighter” said Nanako.

“Of course, we will definitely have our future getting brighter because this is what we do to make everyone feeling happy and compassionated” said Kira.

“We have to be united if we want to have a great braveheart group to run with. That way, we’ll be determined to have our blessings in our hands” said Satomi.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Kaguya, Haruyo, Eriko and Nanako.

“Everyone, let’s have some braveheart talk right here!” said Kotoko.

“Our new members will about to share something that you will be surprised with” said Koharu.

“Okay!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō as they would be walking to the living room where they will be sitting together alongside the new members while Shunichi, Kotoko and Emiko are standing together.

Bravehearts of Kōtō: Shunichi Ōikawa, Ruka Nagamine, Seiichirō Murakawa, Tatsuo Egami, Kira Fukuhara, Satomi Kikumoto, Kotoko Hachiuma, Emiko Kishida, Marika Fujimi, Chiya Takamoto, Minami Ishijima, Koharu Yagami, Kaguya Sunakawa, Haruyo Aiuchi, Eriko Haruno, Nanako Kiyomoto, Yutaro Hoshimiya, Masaru Shigeta, Ren Kamada, Itsuki Shibukawa, Masahiro Nakatani, Yuta Suenaga, Hatsuo Matsukata, Fūko Nishitani, Rika Okumoto, Maiko Senda and Fumika Tachibana

“Since we’re all gathered today right here at the Braveheart Room, we want you to have your smiles filling in, so that you’ll be here to bless with us” said Shunichi.

“That’s right, Shunichi-san! It will be awesome that you’re all here to welcome our new members of our group, but not only for that, there will be more surprises to come later on when we will gleam on who will be joining with us, so that you’ll be ready to meet them” said Kotoko.

“Just like how the Bravehearts of Minato and the Bravehearts of Takanawa did by introducing new members in different ways, we will do the same thing” said Emiko.

“So, sit back, relax and enjoy this braveheart talk because you’re all here to bless with us!” said Shunichi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“I wonder who will be the surprise guests going to be” said Minami.

“Well, Kotoko had welcomed some more members to be part of our group” said Marika.

“She said that not only the three new members that were present have joined us, but Runa Takakura, Momo Kamiyama, Natsuko Fukumura and Shiina Kumashiro have also accepted their invitation to join our group” said Chiya.

“That’s interesting! I can’t believe that they’re gonna be here as well! I will be happy if they will be here, especially to that Runa” said Minami.

“Yes, we’re all excited too!” said Marika and Chiya.

“Who’s Runa, girls?” asked Fūko.

“Runa Takakura is a third year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō” said Marika.

“She’s also the cousin of Kanata Konoe, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club” said Chiya.

“The club that we met them before on our last Casual Friday activity” said Minami.

“Oh, I get it. I guess that Runa is something special” said Fūko.

“She must be very charismatic through her desire just like you have” said Rika.

“She may be cute when it comes to her appearance, but she’s more prestigious through her smile” said Maiko.

“Yeah, she was. Runa is a classmate of Kotoko’s sister Kiriko in section 3-C and she is always making scripts for the theater club” said Marika.

“Also, she had her own desire to treat her friends by expressing them through feelings” said Chiya.

“Just like how Kanata did to her fellow club members when she is active in NijiGaku” said Minami.

“Oh, I can’t wait to see her!” said Fūko.

“Yeah, me too!” said Rika.

“It’s going to be great that she will be here with us as well!” said Maiko.

“Don’t get too overexcited about this, girls. We will about to listen to what our new members will be sharing about” said Fumika.

“Ah, okay” said Fūko, Rika and Maiko.

“But don’t worry about that, girls. Runa will be here in a few minutes” said Marika.

“So, we will focus on them before the surprises will come” said Chiya.

“That way, you’ll finally have a chance to see something that will surprise you” said Minami.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Fūko, Rika and Maiko.

“Now, let’s start with Minako because she was actually the first person to apply among the three” said Kotoko.

“Well, I would be glad to share something that is fascinating to make everyone feeling excited for it” said Minako.

“Yes, you should. Now, start sharing about yourself” said Kotoko.

“Okay!” said Minako as she’s going to start sharing to the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō about her personal life. “I had lived in Shinonome with my family, composed of my parents and two siblings, who were older than me. My older brother Kotaro is a second year high school student and he had been aiming to become a graphic designer while my older sister Nagisa is a first year high school student and she wants to work in a production company by being a make-up artist. For me, I want to pursue myself into the business world even I had been playing basketball when I was a little girl. My parents are very determined to their desires because they want to be compassionated in making their lives easier. So, I wanted to be cherished and admired to everyone on her side, especially that I had finally joined this braveheart group. Hopefully, you will always motivate me to make myself thrilled for sure. Right, guys?”

“Yeah, we do!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Wow! I can’t believe that your siblings have been ambitioned with their own dreams that they have!” said Fūko.

“Yeah, you also have your ambitions too!” said Rika.

“Which means that you must be feeling determined that you’re gonna have your dreams come true if you will be earned to pass your goals” said Maiko.

“I hope so. I mean, I wanted to aim myself in trying to get involved in helping everyone in my hometown to make them feel happy. That’s why I want to plan in selling some jewelries that my mother didn’t use for a long time and it would be better that I can have my savings coming through if they like to buy those” said Minako.

“Well, that goal might be your challenge for you to get earned like how we did” said Fūko.

“Fūko-chan’s right. Business is one of the things that people can invest for a good life and if you want to make yourself worthy to live longer, then you can do so” said Rika.

“Since you want to sell the jewelries to your friends, you’ll be obliged to make them feel delighted that they will pay you, depends on the price that you want to go with” said Maiko.

“Yeah, I can make my list on how much the jewelries cost and if they want something cheaper, then I would do that, but if they want not too expensive, I would do that too! So, my mother will give me the range of the price of a jewelry, so that I want to convince them to buy those if they want to make themselves dazzling gorgeous” said Minako.

“Ah, I see! Well, good luck with that, Minako-san! I would be happy if I can pay a visit to buy your jewelries” said Fūko.

“We will be more confident that you will have a great business in your hands” said Rika.

“That way, you will be able to invest your money and you can have many opportunities to use those for your purposes” said Maiko.

“Okay, I will!” said Minako.

“Minako, I have question” said Seiichirō.

“Sure, you can, Seiichirō-kun” said Minako.

“You see, since you’re interested in the business world, what kind of business that you’re going to make?” asked Seiichirō.

“I like to sell some jewelries and bracelets because my mother used to have them when she was in the 20s, but time had been passed when she grew into the 40s. So, I want to convince my friends to sell those for a good price, so that they will be gladly motivated that they will treasure them. It’s not just a thanksgiving, but I want to be confident that they will admire me at all” said Minako.

“That’s interesting, Minako. Have you ever thought about working in a mall?” said Seiichirō.

“Well, yes, I could, but I only stick to personal business, so that I will be happy to make business with my friends on my side. Then, once I have the money, I can use those for my incentives. As soon as I’m studying hard, I will aim to have a scholarship program in Funahashi for high school if I want to stay there” said Minako.

“That’s good. I like your ambitions with your plans out there, Minako. I believe that you can do it because you have been determined that you have friends on your side, so that you will make them comfortable” said Seiichirō.

“Anyone who has a desire to create with will allow you to indulge yourself and you will be more motivated to get along with your friends” said Tatsuo.

“The more that you will be able to have desires, the better your chances to make friends will be greatly increased” said Kira.

“Hopefully, you will be expecting a lot of things to bless and inspire everyone like how we used to” said Satomi.

“Yes, I would, guys. I will be gladly delighted that I will work hard in making my dreams come true and one day, I will become a scholar if I had done a lot with accomplishments that I needed” said Minako.

“Yeah, we will believe in you!” said Seiichirō, Tatsuo, Kira and Satomi.

“Yes, of course!” said Minako.

“I’m very determined that you had your plans to take up with since you have been interested in business and my advice is to think big if you want to bless your community because it’s good for you to motivate yourself and because you’re now part of our group, you can come with us without hesitation” said Kotoko.

“That’s a good advice to me, Kotoko-san. I will follow that, so that I will make myself determined to make everyone comfortable” said Minako.

“Then, I will believe you from now on” said Kotoko.

“Sure, that’s great!” said Minako.

“Now, the next person to share will be Kayoko Takano as she’s going to share her own personal story” said Koharu.

“Thanks, Koharu-san!” said Kayoko as it’s her turn to share to her fellow members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. “So, before I had joined that group, I took part of the Funahashi Middle School girls’ basketball team where I’m currently a bench player. I also started to work out of my own by getting into fitness lessons in Kameido. This is the part where I had to get myself fit and healthy, so that I will be able to energize myself to play hard. That’s what Asumi Yamashita-senpai, the captain of my team, said when she consoled me to improve my skills. She said that in order to improve my stamina and skills, I have to work out five times a week, so that I will be able to endure myself in making my own moves to shine. When I was out of school, I used to help my family by cooking some delicious foods, which I preferred to cook vegetables. That way, I will be happy to eat those for myself.”

“That story is seemed to be good because you’re very determined to have your skills being improved” said Kaguya.

“I say that you’re very enthusiastic in making your body looked fit and healthy” said Haruyo.

“That’s what my brother Kentaro did when he was trying to get away from being obese” said Eriko.

“I’m sure that you’ll be good to go to dazzle with your moves if you want to get earned for your team” said Nanako.

“You’re transitioning to become a superstar in your team, Kayoko-san! I will expect high hopes for you to get stronger this year!” said Fumika.

“Yes, I will, girls” said Kayoko while giving Kaguya, Haruyo, Eriko, Nanako and Fumika a smile on her face. “Aside from that, I was able to walk around the park whenever it’s about sunrise as I want to get confident in becoming a stronger player like I used to in the past. I had been an amazing player in Funahashi since I started my career in elementary school and so, I’ll be trying my best to master my moves, so that I will have my own firepower to show with.”

“I’m very fascinated that you’re getting stronger with your mind and hustle getting better than I was expected” said Ren Kamada, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Funahashi Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“You’re very confident that you’re going to have your own moments to shine when it’s your time to show yourself in the court” said Itsuki Shibukawa, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Funahashi Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Your aura will be looked good since you have been worked out at all and that’s what I want to see you in the court” said Masahiro Nakatani, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Funahashi Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“I hope that you will be showing us some moves that you have if you have the guts to show up with” said Yuta Suenaga, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Funahashi Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“That way, you will be grateful enough to be balling like everyone we used to” said Hatsuo Matsukata, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Funahashi Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Thanks, boys! I had been relentless while I’m doing my own exercise because it helped me motivated myself to make sure that I’ll be shining my way through my aura. My moves will be more dazzling if I had some moves to shine with, which means that the more that I made the beat quickly, the better that I will surprise my opponents for sure!” said Kayoko.

“Well, then, good luck with that if you want to shine for more!” said Ren.

“We’ll be watching you to make sure that you’re going to dazzle yourself” said Itsuki.

“We want to be surprised if you can do your moves to shine with!” said Masahiro.

“It will be awesome that you can do that to make sure that you’re on the move because you’re seemed to be determined in showing how it’s done” said Yuta.

“Maybe, we can battle you one day to see who’s better between you and us” said Hatsuo.

“I’ll do that if I don’t have time to work on my assignments, but for right now, I will keep hustling until I’m good to go!” said Kayoko.

“Okay!” said Ren, Itsuki, Masahiro, Yuta and Hatsuo.

“That’s very great that you have shared about your current progress in your body, Kayoko-chan! I’m pretty sure that you’re ready to show your moves to your opponents, so that you will surprise them. That way, you’ll be dazzling and shining with your moves on the beat” said Koharu.

“Yes, I will, Koharu-san! I have to be very determined if I want to play for my team because I had been entrusted by my teammates, especially that I became teammates with Kotoko and her friends. Hopefully, I’ll get some momentum during the game because you already know that I’m ready to be hustling in the court” said Kayoko.

“Of course, you are, Kayoko-chan! Just keep it up until you’re ready to shine your way” said Koharu.

“You got it!” said Kayoko.

“Last, but not the least, it’s going to be Sumiko Furutani as she’s ready to share her own personal life that she had right now” said Shunichi.

“Yep! Let’s see what she had shared for us” said Ruka.

“Go ahead, Sumiko-san!” said Minako.

“You should smile while you’re sharing to us” said Kayoko.

“Okay!” said Sumiko as she will start explaining about her personal story. “I had been very interested in drawing when I was a little kid. This is the part where I started to drawing on buildings because I’m very interested in sightseeing on a building where I want to take a glimpse on the landscape that I want to look up with. Also, I had been very active in exploring, especially that I had visited shrines, so that I want to take a look at how they have been standing for years. For me, I had an expression of impressing those before I can those for myself. It’s my way of giving some pride in my hometown and I had been charismatic to see something that fascinated me the most because I always like to look around and feel the breeze to make sure that I will have a chance to draw a magnificent art.”

“Wow! I’m so surprised that you’re interested in art, Sumiko-san!” said Emiko.

“You’re focusing on pride and honor of your hometown ever since you had been born here” said Marika.

“It feels nice that you want to be good in impressing some magnificent places” said Chiya.

“I believe that you’re very confident to represent your hometown by creating some art that you want to impress with” said Minami.

“People like to explore and glimpse around, so that you will have your chance to show your pride to draw something good” said Koharu.

“I’m very delighted that you had some good drawings that you showed to your friends because you want them to be inspired just like you have represented for Kotoko’s team” said Kaguya.

“You should be proud that you have been working hard to make your drawings getting dazzler than ever” said Haruyo.

“Your drawings have been inspiring us that you have shown us some pride to represent with” said Eriko.

“Hopefully, you will be more determined to represent for us because you will make us more cherished with your smiles that we want to see” said Nanako.

“Everyone had their own expectations to live up with and it’s so nice that you have build your own dreams because you have glimpsed your way to have a good life with us” said Fumika.

“We’re always believe in miracles, especially that we want to make us more determined in making our future getting brighter. So, you should keep impressing before you will draw something magnificent to make us proud” said Kotoko.

“Yes, I will, girls. I wanted to deliver my expression to represent my hometown because I had been determined to make everyone including my friends feel comfortable and I always have the charisma to show up as I wanted to indulged myself to have a enjoyable day like we did this right now. Of course, anyone who has a great desire can make good moments to remember with and I have followed that all the way, so that you’re all good enough to have your blessings for sure” said Sumiko.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Emiko, Marika, Chiya, Minami, Koharu, Kaguya, Haruyo, Eriko, Nanako and Fumika.

“Yes, indeed, Sumiko-san! If you can impress us with your next drawing, then I will always give you a smile” said Kotoko.

“Of course, Kotoko-san! I will never let you down since I’m now part of your group” said Sumiko.

“Yeah, you got it!” said Kotoko.

“You know, Sumiko, I had been indulging myself to create some desires to everyone on your side. What kind of desire that you used when impressing something for yourself?” said Yutaro.

“I want to have a heartful desire to anyone who wanted to be more determined and charismatic because I had used those when I needed them for help. I want them to inspire, so that they will be able to make the difference in complimenting people that they have their own talents just like me. Of course, I had been more indulged to help the community when they needed me to serve and that’s why I will be more delighted to make desires in our group” said Sumiko.

“So, does that mean that you want to give us some heartful desire?” asked Yutaro.

“Yep!” said Sumiko.

“Well, I would love to have one, but as long as you want to build a better friendship with us” said Yutaro.

“That way, we will be good enough to live up with our dreams” said Masaru.

“Sure, I would be glad to, guys!” said Sumiko as she will give Yutaro and Masaru a heartful desire through words. “You must seek an opportunity to you want to see in the future.”

“Uh… I think that we want to visit the DiverCity Tokyo with my friends” said Yutaro.

“We could take the biggest Ferris wheel to see something beautiful while looking at the panorama” said Masaru.

“That sounds interesting, you two. Okay, then, if you can work hard to show some progress in your studies, then the dream is yours” said Sumiko.

“Oh, okay! I’ll agree with this!” said Yutaro.

“Yeah, me too!” said Masaru.

“That was a nice heartful desire that you give to both Yutaro and Masaru! I didn’t know that you want them to fall under your desire” said Kotoko.

“Ah, it was nothing, but I want to see their eyes if they can make it. I want to see them getting earned if they want to get it done no matter what. My father said that desires can be lasted for a few days, but you must cherish yourself with your own needs. You can make alternative ways to make yourself indulged like the way everyone used to be. You’re always taking care of everything in your group, so that they will be feeling happy to be with you” said Sumiko.

“Yes, I am, Sumiko-san! I had been helping the Bravehearts of Kōtō to make sure that they will be able to show their pride and willpower with each other as they want to work together to give everyone their blessings. That’s why I want to be more involved in helping the community through desires that they want and if they have been able to get earned, I will bless them through my hearts” said Kotoko.

“You sounded more inspirable to me when you said that you want to help the community to have blessings. Well, then, I will do it with my way, so that we’ll make Kōtō more inspirable to grow with their desires” said Sumiko.

“Sure, you will, Sumiko-san! You can do whatever you want as long as you will prosper us with your desire” said Kotoko.

“Yes, I will!” said Sumiko.

“Since you’re now part of the Bravehears of Kōtō, Sumiko-san, I want you to remember that in our group, we used to organize activities to make everyone very happy to bless and inspire us. That’s why we will do our best to make our community being filled with blessings” said Shunichi.

“It will be great that you can take part of our activities, so that they will be able to bless you. That way, you will bless them in return with your smile” said Ruka.

“Yes, of course, guys! It will be awesome that we will work together one day, so that we’ll be going to make everyone feeling thrilled to be with us for sure!” said Sumiko.

“Yeah!” said Shunichi and Ruka.

“I guess that your desires will be turned into something that will thrill everyone, Sumiko-san!” said Minako.

“You’re very determined to show how it’s done and hopefully, you’ll be very compassionated to get along with everyone in our group” said Kayoko.

“Of course, girls! That’s why we will do our best to make everyone thrill their way to bless the community in Kōtō” said Sumiko.

“Yeah, we will, Sumiko-san!” said Minako and Kayoko.

Then, a doorbell had been rung before a female voice that is resembled to Kanata would be heard from the outside of the door. “Shunichi-kun! Ruka-chan! It’s me, Runa-chan!”

“Did you hear that?” asked Ruka.

“That sounds like it’s Runa-san!” said Shunichi.

“Yes, it is, Shunichi” said Ruka.

“Alright, I’ll open the door with Emiko-san” said Kotoko.

“That way, we will let them entered” said Emiko.

“Okay!” said Shunichi and Ruka. Kotoko and Emiko would open the door together and as expected, Runa was there alongside her fellow groupmates Momo Kamiyama, Natsuko Fukumura and Shiina Kumashiro. They would also be joined by Kiriko Hachiuma, the older sister of Kotoko.

“Hi, everyone!” said Runa Takakura, a third year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. She’s also the cousin of Kanata Konoe, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“It’s so nice that you’re all here because we brought some colored shirts” said Kiriko Hachiuma, a third year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. She’s also the older sister of Kotoko Hachiuma and has been resembled to Chiaki Takanashi, a member of the Bravehearts of Minato and the cousin of Shinako Takanashi and Ayumu Uehara, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

“For every member in our group” said Momo Kamiyama, a third year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. She’s also a member of the Funahashi Middle School Student Council, serving as a Chief of Staff to Secretary Maki Kuramoto.

“The design of this shirt is that we have the symbol in the middle with the number on it, depends on your team number or birthday” said Natsuko Fukumura, a third year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. She’s also a friend of Runa Takakura through the Colorful Arrow.

“At the back, you will see your surname and first letter of your first name just like how it had been used in team jerseys” said Shiina Kumashiro, a third year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. She’s also a friend of Runa Takakura through the Colorful Arrow.

“Oh, this is so nice! My color lavender in my shirt is pretty dazzling!” said Kotoko.

“I like the violet color on my shirt!” said Emiko.

“This orange shirt looked so nice that I can wear that comfortably!” said Marika.

“Pink is pretty cute to make it fit to wear!” said Chiya.

“Yellow is my favorite color and I like it!” said Minami.

“The aqua blue symbol is so majestic!” said Shunichi as he’s referring to the three stars in a roundel where the three stars refer to three principles of the Bravehearts of Kōtō, composed of compassion, determination and inspiration.

“The green shirt is so awesome! I can finally feel the breeze while wearing this!” said Ruka.

“I’m so surprised that this maroon shirt wasn’t so bad!” said Seiichirō.

“Me too! My red shirt is like it’s on fire!” said Tatsuo.

“I’m so glad that my shirt has periwinkle color on it!” said Koharu.

“Wow! I can’t believe that my rose shirt is so blooming!” said Kaguya.

“This indigo shirt rocks!” said Haruyo.

“Would you look at that? My celadon shirt is pretty good!” said Eriko.

“Oh, yeah! Mine is pretty as a palette pink!” said Nanako.

“I’m digging this shirt because turquoise is my favorite color!” said Yutaro.

“Well, mine is pretty dazzling with my favorite color mauve!” said Masaru.

“This dark red shirt is pretty blooming! I’ll be happy to wear those!” said Fumika.

“My scarlet shirt is so cute!” said Fūko.

“I’m very impressed with the designers made my cream shirt looking good!” said Rika.

“That’s more I like it! My saffron shirt is the best!” said Maiko.

“I’m so glad that my red violet shirt had my team number on it!” said Kira.

“There goes my shirt! I’m liking the design with all golden yellow anything!” said Satomi.

“Well, did you like your shirt?” asked Kiriko.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“That’s great! I knew that you guys will love this!” said Kiriko.

“It’s all about the representation that we will use with because we’re a group of bravehearts” said Runa.

“You’ll be wearing those when we’ll be organizing some fantastic activities to thrill with” said Momo.

“It will be awesome that we will wear those when representing our braveheart group because we want to be more blessed and inspired” said Natsuko.

“Hopefully, we will be using those as a symbol of compassion, determination and inspiration as we’re all here to run together as one family of bravehearts. Right, everyone?” said Shiina.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“You know, Kiriko-san, I’m so happy that we have these shirts being brought, but not only for that, I was surprised that those who have recently being welcomed to the Bravehearts of Kōtō have stars at the bottom of their number” said Shunichi.

“Oh, those stars are your friends that you wanted them to join our group” said Kiriko.

“Interesting!” said Emiko.

“What’s interesting, Emiko-san?” asked Shunichi.

“I say that Kotoko’s friends have joined our Bravehearts of Kōtō, which is why those stars have represented for her” said Emiko.

“The stars said that they’re more harmonious enough to prosper with their own ways to bless and inspire, but also, they’re very close to Kanata, who had admired them to be prospered with compassion just like her” said Fumika.

“Well, those stars are looked solid to me through its own representation, but I don’t know why” said Shunichi.

“I had my own special circle group that I had created for them just like what Shinako and Hinako of the Bravehearts of Minato did” said Kotoko.

“That’s because those who had been friends with the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club have their own special circle groups, so that they will allow them to join any braveheart group that they want” said Runa.

“In our special circle group, we called the group as the Lavender and Purple Harmony. This is the group where me, onēchan, Chiya and Koharu have our own set of close friends that they want to prosper themselves and be like us” said Kiriko.

“That’s right, nēchan! We have our own group to run with our hopes and dreams and we want to follow like how the special circle groups from Minato did” said Kotoko.

“Ah, that’s very nice! Me and Minami have formed our own special circle group known as the Breeze and Passion where we have become friends with our own allies” said Emiko.

“Mine and Yutaro have formed the Pomegranate Orange Magic” said Marika.

“Where we used to get along with our friends in our hometown in the Minamisuna” said Yutaro.

“On the other hand, me, Manaka Sawamatsu and Naoko Izuki have formed the Red Cat Paradise where we used to get along with each other for charismatic activities that we want to gleam with” said Fumika. Manaka Sawamatsu and Naoko Izuki are both third year middle school students from the Funahashi Middle School and members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Everyone knows that the special circle groups are more formidable to run with, especially that they have recruited them to join any braveheart group” said Chiya.

“It’s so nice for them to show their pride and willpower to create hopes and dreams in our hometown and hopefully, it will keep this up for sure!” said Minami.

“Well, I would be fascinated to see something big in our hometown, thanks to those kinds of groups, because it gave everyone some incentives that they want to get them. We usually team up with Ruka and Seiichirō to represent the Blue Bay Circle where we gathered around with our close friends to have some fantastic activities to run with. I believe that we can organize a special day for the special circle groups to run their own activities to develop a friendship with one to another. Would you live to see that?” said Shunichi.

“That’s a good idea, Shunichi-san! We can organize that once it reaches the summer break, but if we can have that very early, then we’ll decide on that as long as everyone agrees” said Kiriko.

“Yeah, of course, nēchan! Any special circle group can organize their own activities, so that they will be able to make themselves thrilled to have their enjoyable day that they will never forget” said Kotoko.

“It will be great that all special circle groups will be ready to run their place with their smiles and thrills, so that they will be able to bless and inspire everyone for sure!” said Runa.

“Yeah, I agree with that!” said Shunichi.

“We should also focus on the extended group system that had been trending recently” said Ruka.

“Oh, that’s what you guys have talked about that a few days ago” said Momo.

“This is where one braveheart will team up with his/her friends as well as allies on his/her side to work together in shining themselves for brighter future” said Natsuko.

“Currently, there are some extended groups being created in southern part of Tokyo and most of Kanagawa, which means that it will be spread through our hometown in a few days if any group can have their opportunity to create that kind of community group” said Shiina.

“Hopefully, it will happen to witness those, Shiina-san, but of course, me, Chiya and Koharu have finally created our own plans to form our very own circle of friends” said Kotoko.

“We made some progress by meeting with our close friends where we asked them if they’re interested to join with us” said Chiya.

“We should be ready to have those groups being formed once everything is set” said Koharu.

“I’m sure that it will be amazing for all of us to have our own representation because we will finally have our allies on our side to bless with us” said Kaguya.

“It’s going to be awesome that everyone will be here to get along with us through their smiles and thrills” said Haruyo.

“There are a lot of things to make everyone blessed and inspired when they’re forming their extended groups, but I’m so excited about this!” said Eriko.

“I’m so hyped with this because I can’t wait to see how things going to turn around the extended groups in our hometown” said Nanako.

“Of course, it will happen, girls! We have a lot of plans to work on including the blueprints in forming our very own extended groups” said Emiko.

“So, it’s going to be better if you can help your close friends out there to join forces with you” said Marika.

“That way, you’ll have them in your circle of friends in no time!” said Minami.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Kaguya, Haruyo, Eriko and Nanako.

“Just wondering, who’s gonna be first to form its own extended group?” asked Minako.

“That’s a good question. Usually, the first to form will be depended on the color that is dominant in our hometown. For my extended group, me, Ruka and Seiichirō are currently planning to create our very own extended group that will be composed of not only the Blue Bay Circle, but allies from our side in Etchujima” said Shunichi.

“But of course, just like what Kotoko mentioned earlier, she and her friends from the Lavender and Purple Harmony have also started their plans in working their own circle of friends as well” said Ruka.

“As a result, it will be depended on whether it will be us or them to start presenting their own circle of friends” said Seiichirō.

“On top of that, they can formally make their dates on when they’ll officially form their own extended group” said Tatsuo.

“For us, it will be on May 4 (Tuesday) while Kotoko’s circle of friends will be expected to be formed on the day after the former’s tentative date” said Kira.

“So, you should be aware of this if you don’t want to miss those because it will be great that you’re gonna have a lot of friends to get along with you for sure!” said Satomi.

“That’s why the extended groups in Kōtō will be good for us to bless and inspire everyone for more” said Kotoko.

“The more that the extended groups will be formed…” said Chiya.

“…the better that will allow everyone to get involved to make themselves thrilled in a heartbeat” said Koharu.

“I have to say that it’s going to be blooming for all of us to get involved and make everyone more motivated to bless and inspire us” said Minako.

“There are a lot of opportunities to make us blissful and harmonious when we have formed our own circle of friends, but it will be awesome that we will organize future collaborative activities that will shine our community at all” said Kayoko.

“Just like how it did to most cities from the western areas of our country like Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto and Hiroshima, especially to those in Kyushu like Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Kagoshima and Okinawa” said Sumiko.

“Yeah, we agree with that, girls!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Once any of us will start working on our extended groups, we’ll be revealing this you all when it’s the right time to surprise you all” said Shunichi.

“Yeah!” said Minako, Kayoko and Sumiko.

“Speaking of which, are you planning to welcome the fifth graders as well?” asked Ren.

“They have been part of our varsity team” said Itsuki.

“And they’re very talented through consistent skills that they have showed for them to shine” said Masahiro.

“Hopefully, it will be awesome that they will be with us” said Yuta.

“So that, we’ll work with them for extra credit” said Hatsuo.

“Well, I would mind if I will accept their invitation if they want to because that’s how what they did from the Bravehearts of Minato and the Bravehearts of Takanawa a few days ago. Okay, then, I will ask them to come to our place tomorrow. How’s that sound?” said Shunichi.

“Sure, we would be glad to!” said Ren, Itsuki, Masahiro, Yuta and Hatsuo.

“Well, you guys will be happy that those youngbloods will be joining with us to make our group stronger” said Yutaro.

“It will be awesome that you will have some extra effort for your skills to be improved for sure” said Masaru.

“Yeah, of course!” said Ren, Itsuki, Masahiro, Yuta and Hatsuo.

“I’m sure that things are about to be blooming in our braveheart group because not only that we have welcomed new members recently, but it seems that the future is bright for anyone who wanted to be dazzling with their auras” said Fumika.

“Yeah, I agree with that, Fumika-chan! It’s so nice that our braveheart group will be expanding once more because we have found some new bravehearts to join with us. That’s what Kanata-chan reminded me about how the Bravehearts of Minato did when they have welcomed Ayumu’s cousins Azusa, Mio and Maika” said Runa.

“I believe that we’ll be greatly enough for us to shine our way with new members ready to come out to bless and inspire through their smiles” said Kiriko.

“You’re right about that, nēchan! Everything will be good enough to make us prospered now that we have new members ready to come along with us” said Kotoko.

“I’m always happy that we have new members to join our group because it makes us feel thrilled that there’s going to be more fun to make our group being blessed” said Emiko.

“I’m very determined when there are new members joining with us” said Marika.

“Yes, indeed, Marika-chan! Ever since we formed our group last spring, we finally started to work together in making our community being filled with hopes and dreams” said Chiya. The Bravehearts of Kōtō had been formed on March 22 (Monday), the same day that the Bravehearts of Minato and the Bravehearts of Takanawa have been formed, thus the three braveheart groups have their own nickname known as the ‘Dream Braveheart Section’.

“Our blessings have made us feel good that we want to motivate ourselves” said Minami.

“We always make the difference to make sure that our friends will be giving us the blessings that we need” said Koharu.

“It’s going to be fantastic that we will run our group together to make our future getting brighter and of course, we will be happy if we can have the opportunities to make us blessed” said Kaguya.

“The more that everyone gives us the blessings, the better that we will be prospered enough to make our community even blooming and prosperous” said Haruyo.

“Our community will be soon to be prospered with bravehearts in the future once things are getting better with their hopes and dreams being fulfilled” said Eriko.

“If we can work together to keep this up, we’ll be delighted that we will make our community getting harmonious with our hopes and dreams” said Nanako.

“We have to follow the three principles of our group, which are compassion, determination and inspiration. That will make us more energized and motivated to make more friends” said Fūko.

“They know that it’s our time to shine through our auras because we’re here to run the place” said Rika.

“So that, they’ll be giving us the blessings that will make us feeling compassionated” said Maiko.

“Hopefully, we will make our braveheart group more blissful and harmonious to make our community getting motivated with smiles and thrills to show up with” said Kira.

“It will be amazing that we will be doing a lot of activities that will make them feel prepared to get along with us, so that they will have their blessings to treasure with because they’re always coming out to bless and inspire us” said Satomi.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“The future of our community in Kōtō is getting brighter than I’ll be expecting, guys” said Tatsuo.

“Yep. It seems that we’ll be ready to build better hopes and fantastic dreams that we’ll be able to shine together like the other braveheart groups did” said Seiichirō.

“It will be a matter of time that we will make our braveheart group being filled with smiles and thrills, but we’re very determined to engage ourselves by making everyone being blessed and inspired and develop a great friendship with them” said Ruka.

“That’s right, Ruka-san! We should be ready to create our future, so that we’ll make us very confident to have our hopes and dreams being fulfilled for sure!” said Shunichi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Now, let’s shine together as…” said Shunichi before being joined by the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō as they shout together in unison. “…as one family of bravehearts!” The Bravehearts of Kōtō have been prospered with new members that they’re going to join as they have been prospered enough to have more blessings to create with. It’s very amazing for them that they will be ready to have more friends to shine with and so, they’re looking forward to build more friendships with their allies and create better hopes and dreams to everyone. Hopefully, they’ll be ready to work together to make everyone in their community in Kōtō being blissful and harmonious that they have been blessed by the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“Since, it’s 3:30 in the afternoon, I believe that it’s time to go out and play some game of basketball at the rooftop” said Shunichi.

“Yeah, it will be amazing that we’re going to play together for sure!” said Ruka.

“Yeah, we will, guys!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.

“That’s great, everyone! I like that attitude and enthusiasm!” said Chiya.

“You go that right, Chiya-san! Now, let’s go to the rooftop and have some fun!” said Kotoko.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō while showing their pride and willpower to make themselves thrilled with their smiles.

UP NEXT: Profile of the Bravehearts of Kōtō
 
I have posted the profiles of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Bravehearts of Takanawa before as they are part of the Tokyo Bay Trio with the Bravehearts of Kōtō. And now, the Bravehearts of Kōtō will have their own profile as well!:D So, here is the profile of the Bravehearts of Kōtō, a braveheart group that is based in Kōtō and led by Shunichi Ōikawa.

A Special Message from Kasumi Nakasu

Hi, everyone! This is Kasumi Nakasu of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and today is my birthday, which means that you’re gonna see me compassionated and admired to make my day very special! For today, I’m going to share about the connection circle of Yumi Tsurimi, a member of the Bravehearts of Minato. If you read the previous postscript messages about the connection circles of the other members of the Bravehearts of Minato, you’re in luck because Kasumin will be here to share a connection circle of another cute and elegant braveheart just like me in Yumi Tsurimi. Anyway, before I’ll share about it, I’ll be explaining about the connection circle and how does it work out. The connection circle is a special circle group that is exclusively to Minato and its neighboring areas where one member of the Bravehearts of Minato is connected through friend groups and allies that have been made and how they have developed their friendship with them. Anyone can make friends to form a connection circle, so that they’ll shine together with their smiles and thrills, which Kasumin feels happy to see them after all! So, the last time that a connection circle was shared was for Ayame Murakami, which was shared by Ai Miyashita, and now, you’ll be thrilled to see what the connection circle of Yumi would be like as you’re going to take a glimpse on her connection of friends whether in her friend group or not. Yumi had been very determined to show her own willpower when it comes to making friends because she’s very valiant and determined to admire them with her smile. Of course, she had her own set of friends coming from the Gleaming Moon, led by Mikasa Yamane. Of course, Yumi had been great friends with both Mikasa and Hinata Nishikawa due to them being interested in collecting action figures, especially that they like to buy some those in retail stores. They have also become interested in characters that are bold and dazzling while liking the characters that its hair is either violet or grey due to those being its main colors of the Gleaming Moon. They like the characters of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba because they found them fascinated to show their appearance, thus they decided to buy some clothes that inspired that anime. Another thing is that they liked to make berry juices because they’re more delicious and tastier to drink when they have their lunch or dinner. It’s so nice that they have been very close with each other, which means that they have been very determined to get along with each other without losing their motivation in a heartbeat! Now, for her allies on her side, she would become friends with Eri Higashide, a second year high school student from the general course and the leader of the Higashide Nightside, because they have been interested in cats and butterflies, which they’re so beautiful and cute, thus, they decided to adapt those in their homes separately. On the other hand, they have been interested in collecting posters and listening to the music, which they liked to hear some J-pop and anime songs. That would make them feel relaxed and enjoyed if they don’t want to have a boring day to happen. I like their friendship because they have been closer with each other to make sure that they’re going to show their smiles as they want to stay compassionated through their determination. It’s so nice that Yumi had been blessed by her friends on her side, which means that she’ll be ready to bloom and shine with them, so that she’ll be able to give them the thrills to improve their friendship for sure! Now that I have finished sharing about the connection circle of Yumi, there are a few members from the main group that have their own connection circle and so, it will be amazing that you’re going to see more of those to make sure that you’ll be thrilled to witness them! And speaking of who’s coming up next, the next connection circle that will be shown in the next postscript message will be Sayaka Morinaka, which will be shared by Emma Verde and it will be posted on February 6 (Sunday). Get ready to gleam and shine to witness another connection circle coming out to make sure that you’ll never miss this for yourself in the next postscript message that is related to the connection circle of the Bravehearts of Minato! Anyway, it’s so nice that you have made me thrilled with your smile when I had performed just for you and because it’s my birthday, you’re all welcomed to show some motivation to get along with me for the whole day, so that I’ll make you feel happy to be with me for sure! Until then, I’ll see you next time when we’ll meet again in our side chapter that will feature our school idol club and stay positive to make yourself cute and smile, everyone!

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 110: “THE DAZZLING BRAVEHEARTS IN HAKODATE

Date: May 1, 2010 (Saturday)

This side story is focused on the Bravehearts of Hakodate as they are getting meeting with the relatives of Sarah and Leah Kazuno of Saint Snow in Motomachi, Hakodate, the hometown of the Kazuno sisters.

The Bravehearts of Hakodate are walking on their way to visit the home of Reika Kazuno, the cousin of Sarah and Leah Kazuno and a first year high school student from the Seisen Girls’ High School, located in Motomachi, Hakodate.

Bravehearts of Hakodate: Takao Shimokawa, Ayako Katsumoto, Hideki Kasagi, Sōsuke Wada, Hitomi Suzumoto, Setsuko Akizuki, Miori Motoyama, Sachiko Kajiya, Yūna Higashiura, Nichika Kuno, Terumi Hiraishi, Reina Tsujimura, Natsumi Itakura, Moeko Onozawa, Akemi Hanasaki, Suzuko Mibu, Yūki Mizushima, Hayao Fukumoto, Madoka Ōtsuki, Minami Kadoya and Hatsuko Kawajiri

“I’m so excited about this, Takao-san! I didn’t know that she called you about getting invited into her home!” said Miori Motoyama, a first year middle school student from the Kameda Seiran Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“It will be great that we’re going to meet her because she’s a relative of the school idols from Saint Snow” said Sachiko Kajiya, a first year middle school student from the Kameda Seiran Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“Hopefully, we will have a wonderful day to enjoy staying with her and her friends for sure!” said Yūna Higashiura, a first year middle school student from the Kameda Seiran Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“Yeah, you got that right! Reika Kazuno is the cousin of Sarah and Leah Kazuno of Saint Snow. She had recently entered high school this year by enrolling to their former school, the Seisen Girls’ High School” said Takao Shimokawa, a second year high school student from the Kameda Seiran High School and the leader of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“She had been impressed when she saw the performance of Saint Snow because she loved the way they performed to please their fans through their smiles” said Ayako Katsumoto, a second year high school student from the Kameda Seiran High School and the co-vice leader of the Bravehearts of Hakodate alongside Hideki Kasagi.

“Of course, she’s a compassionated girl to inspire her cousins, especially that she gave them some treats when they’re having a gathering for the entire clan” said Hideki Kasagi, a second year high school student from the Kameda Seiran High School and the co-vice leader of the Bravehearts of Hakodate alongside Ayako Katsumoto.

“It’s very amazing for her that she became blessed to them because she had been delighted that she made them very proud, so that they’ll be able to give her some thrills that she wanted to earn with” said Sōsuke Wada, a second year high school student from the Kameda Seiran High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“Meeting with Reika will be great for us that we might end up becoming friends with her” said Hitomi Suzumoto, a second year high school student from the Kameda Seiran High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“If she’s very interested in joining our group” said Setsuko Akizuki, a second year high school student from the Kameda Seiran High School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“Well, probably, she would, but we will find out later if she’s interested to join our group, but right now, we’ll be ready to meet her” said Takao.

“I hope that you’re all excited for this because we’re all here to gleam and shine” said Ayako.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

A few minutes later, the Bravehearts of Hakodate would finally reach the house of Reika Kazuno where Takao would ring the doorbell at the entrance.

A female voice had been heard from the house. “Who is it?”

Takao would shout by saying his name and explaining about his reason to visit Reika’s house. “It’s Takao Shimokawa. I’m the leader of the Bravehearts of Hakodate and I’m with his friends.”

A female voice would reply to Takao. “Oh, okay, I’ll be right here!”

“That girl had the same voice as Sarah” said Miori.

“Yeah, she must be very excited when it comes to visitors” said Sachiko.

“I have to say that she’s generous to welcome visitors in her home” said Yūna.

“Hopefully, she will let us enter to her home, so that we’ll enjoy staying here” said Nichika Kuno, a first year middle school student from the Kameda Seiran Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“Oh, I can’t wait!” said Terumi Hiraishi, a first year middle school student from the Kameda Seiran Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

Just then, a door would be opened and it was revealed to be Reika Kazuno, the cousin of Sarah and Leah Kazuno from Saint Snow. Reika is wearing a purple dress with red ribbon on her hair.

“Welcome, my dear guests!” said Reika Kazuno.

“So, you must be Reika-san, right?” asked Miori.

“Yep! That’s me! I’m a compassionated and determined girl like my cousins Sarah and Leah. I had been blessed by them ever since they became school idols and they never give up!” said Reika.

“Ah, okay! Well, then, it’s a great pleasure to meet you, Reika-san!” said Miori before introducing herself to Reika. “My name is Miori Motoyama, one of the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate. And these are my friends from my group including our very own Takao Shimokawa.”

“Hi, Reika-san!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“Hi, guys! So, are you excited about visiting my home?” said Reika.

“Yes, we are!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“Then, come with me!” said Reika as she invites the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate to visit her home.

When they entered the house of Reika, the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate are fascinated and surprised to see the living room of the house of Reika, which is very resembled to the house of Sarah and Leah, but more of a fun house.

“Wow!” shouted the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“Amazing!” exclaimed Miori.

“This is so cool!” reacted Sachiko.

“I’m very happy to see this place like it’s chilling out here!” said Yūna.

“This is comfortable!” said Nichika.

“I say that your home is so beautiful!” said Terumi.

“Thanks, girls! My home is so cozy and peaceful for me and my family to stay here. When my guests entered my home, they have to be more comfortable to hang out with me and my family. I always believe in them and I might start believing you since you’re all here!” said Reika.

“You’re right about that, Reika-san! I’m very excited about meeting with you because our group had started working on welcoming new members” said Takao.

“We’re currently building new friendships with our new members as well as welcoming new groups that will be part of our hierarchy” said Ayako.

“We want to be like the other braveheart groups that they have currently progressed themselves, so that we’ll be able to make our future getting brighter” said Hideki.

“Well, I’m very interested on because my cousins have used to make friends in Seisen Girls’ before moving their new homes to Numazu” said Reika.

“Oh, this is very interesting” said Miori.

“Can you tell us?” asked Sachiko.

“Okay, I would be glad to!” said Reika as she’s going to explain about the former friends of Sarah and Leah in Hakodate. “You see, when they used to study in Seisen Girls’, Sarah and Leah, through their duo group Saint Snow, have used to have followers, who have been fascinated to see them perform when they tried to qualify to the main competition of the Love Live! One of them is Hanako Sasagawa, who’s currently studying in college. She used to promote Saint Snow by convincing her former classmates to support Saint Snow.”

“I see! I never thought that they have followers they have when they were studying in your school, Reika-san” said Miori.

“It’s so nice that they have been raising their reputation to be best school idols in Hokkaido” said Sachiko.

“Yeah, I agree with that. However, I was concerned about Leah because she always made mistakes when she and Sarah tried to qualify to the spring final of the Love Live!, which is why I’m very worried about her future even she will become a solo idol after Sarah recently graduated last spring. Hopefully, she will be feeling alright to perform alone, but as long as she’ll stick together with her older sister to perform together again” said Reika.

“Well, Leah had been nervous when she tried to step up for Saint Snow” said Yūna.

“She would have shined her way if she wanted to have high hopes of being a school idol” said Nichika.

“That way, she will be doing her best to have a successful career through her heart” said Terumi.

“Yeah, that’s true” said Reika.

“So, Reika-chan, how your cousins treated you?” asked Reina Tsujimura, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Kameda Seiran Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“They used to give me some desserts including cakes. I like black forest cake, which is their favorite” said Reika.

“Oh, that’s nice! I would love to eat that cake!” said Reina.

“Yeah, me too, Reika!” said Natsumi Itakura, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Kameda Seiran Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“I can count on eating that cake!” said Moeko Onozawa, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Kameda Seiran Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“I’m hungry for something delicious, but I would be delighted if I can taste one” said Akemi Hanasaki, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Kameda Seiran Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“I wanna try it!” said Suzuko Mibu, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Kameda Seiran Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“Well, you’re in luck because I have brought some black forest cake just for you!” said Reika.

“Alright!” said Reina, Natsumi, Moeko, Akemi and Suzuko.

“Okay, don’t get overexcited about this, girls, because we still have to listen on her cousins” said Miori.

“So, you have to wait until the time is come for you to eat that delicious cake” said Sachiko.

“But don’t worry, we’ll cover you to make sure that you’ll have your chance to eat those later when we’re going to have a break” said Yūna.

“Okay” said Reina, Natsumi, Moeko, Akemi and Suzuko.

“I believe that you had been delighted that you’re interested on desserts just like them” said Reina.

“It seems that you’re always falling in love to those” said Natsumi.

“Of course, I am! I visited their shop, which is located near four streets away from my home, and I used to order some delicious pastries out there. They used to run that place until they finally decided to move to their new home in Numazu” said Reika.

“Who’s running their shop right now?” asked Moeko.

“It’s my cousin Hiroka, who had also been very close to both Sarah and Leah, and she had used to bake some delicious cakes with her older siblings” said Reika. Hiroka is a third year high school student from the Seisen Girls’ High School and the cousin of Sarah and Leah Kazuno.

“That’s nice for her! I can’t wait for her to make progress while working out there as a part-timer” said Moeko.

“It will be awesome that she will treat us” said Akemi.

“Like your cousins did to you!” said Suzuko.

“Yep!” said Reika.

“About your family, Reika, who’s with you?” asked Yūki Mizushima, a first year middle school student from the Kameda Seiran Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate. Yūki is a male because his name is unisex.

“I had a family, composed of my parents as well as two brothers named Masato and Kiyo. I also had a grandfather, who is very old and still alive, but my grandmother had passed away ten years ago” said Reika.

“That’s a great family of yours, Reika” said Yūki.

“You had been very confident that you had taken care of them with your pure hearts” said Hayao Fukumoto, a first year middle school student from the Kameda Seiran Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate. He’s also the best friend of Yūki Mizushima.

“Yes, it is. I came from the Kazuno clan and I had been very determined to represent them because my family members used to believe through their charisma and that’s what I used to bless them” said Reika.

“You’re more of a good believer, girl!” said Madoka Ōtsuki, a first year middle school student from the Yukawasaki Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate. She’s also the rival of Miori Motoyama.

“I’m so surprised that you’re more of a calm and humble girl to show some blessings to everyone in your clan” said Minami Kadoya, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Yukawasaki Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“Your confidence had been greatly developed that you want them to be prospered, so that they will be giving you some respect that you will have” said Hatsuko Kawajiri, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Yukawasaki Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“Yeah, of course! I’m always charismatic to show some respect to my fellow family members and friends on my side because I want them to be compassionated just like me and since I had followed the way that Sarah and Leah did, I would be very confident that I will be prospering everyone with my smile” said Reika.

“I’m sure that you’re very calm and humble while representing your clan, which I’m very happy for you” said Miori.

“I have to say that you’re generous with your smile” said Sachiko.

“Which means that you’re prospered enough to make your family proud” said Yūna.

“It’s so nice to see you giving your fellow family members a smile, so that they’ll be motivated to bless you” said Nichika.

“Hopefully, you will be able to make everyone blessed on your side including us because we’re very determined to have blessings in our hands” said Terumi.

“Yeah, I agree with that, girls!” said Reika.

“By the way, Reika-san, what is your ambition for now?” asked Hitomi.

“My ambition is to make myself compassionate to give everyone some smiles that they need and also, I want to keep supporting my cousins on their school idol careers because I want to be compassionated to them to make sure that they will make me blessed for sure” said Reika.

“Ah, that’s very interesting! I’m very thrilled that you’re going to keep supporting your cousins’ career as school idols because you want them to shine like their rivals used to” said Hitomi.

“They should be dazzling their way to show that they’re not giving up no matter what!” said Setsuko.

“I’m going to say that they’ll be ready to prove themselves that they’ll have their successful school idol careers” said Hideki.

“That way, they’ll be impressed by their fans on their side for sure” said Sōsuke.

“Yes, they will, guys! That’s why I want to make sure that they’ll shine their way through their auras, so that they’ll make them believe” said Reika.

“Well, it’s going to be a challenge for them because not only that they have found their new journeys in their new home…” said Takao.

“…but they’ll be ready to show their determination and prosperity to make themselves prestigious and admired” said Ayako.

“Hopefully, it will be great that your cousins will be ready to do whatever it takes to show that they’re here to believe everyone” said Takao.

“Of course, they will!” said Reika. “Oh, that reminds me, Sarah told me that with her birthday almost approaching, she had planned to invite us to her birthday party at her new home in Numazu, which means that I have to leave my home by Tuesday, so that I will be visiting her home to celebrate her birthday.”

“Hmmm… that sounds good, Reika-san. I think that you should prepare yourself to meet with her because she’s going to celebrate her birthday at her new home” said Takao.

“Which means that you need a birthday gift for her” said Ayako.

“A gift must be more prestigious and more beautiful” said Hideki.

“Those two things are the characteristics of your cousin Sarah” said Sōsuke.

“So, you should start planning on that if you don’t want to miss her birthday” said Hitomi.

“It will be great that you will make her blessed on her birthday for sure!” said Setsuko.

“Yeah, I will!” said Reika.

Later, a male voice would be heard from the stairs. “Sister!”

“Kiyo-nee, come on down!” said Reika.

“Who are you calling?” asked Takao.

“Oh, I apologize. My younger brother Kiyo had been playing some hide-and-seek in the second floor. I almost got distracted when he tried to find me, but I decided to give in if he wanted me to join that game” said Reika.

“Ah, okay, I see what’s going on with your relatives out there earlier” said Takao.

“I say that you decided to leave the game, so that you will meet us” said Ayako.

“Yep! I’m going to share this to my brothers and relatives that you’re all here for a visit” said Reika.

“Okay!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate before the footsteps would be heard from the stairs as Masato and Kiyo Kazuno have finally arrived alongside the other relatives of Sarah and Leah Kazuno, composed of Kairi Kazuno, Mitsuo Kazuno, Sora Kazuno, Ryōko Kazuno, Hidemi Yanagita, Akihiro Yanagita, Mitsuki Yanagita and Tomoe Moriyama.

“Who are those visitors out there?” asked Masato Kazuno, a second year high school student from the Seisho Gakuen High School and the older brother of Reika Kazuno.

“Yeah, I wonder the same thing” said Kiyo Kazuno, a second year middle school student from the Seisho Gakuen Middle School and the younger brother of Reika Kazuno.

“Guys, these are the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate, led by Takao Shimokawa, a good friend of mine” said Reika.

“Hi!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate while waving their hands to say ‘Hi!’ to the relatives of Sarah and Leah Kazuno.

“Hi!” said the relatives of Sarah and Leah Kazuno.

“So, why are you friends with that guy?” asked Masato.

“I’m glad that you ask!” said Reika as she’s going to about why Takao was there. “You see, Takao and I have known with each other through online chat when he had announced that he will start expanding his group by welcoming new members in different ways. So, he decided to chat with me to talk about his plans and I have agreed to his ideas including a partnership between his group and any supporters of Saint Snow if they want to join that group.”

“Oh, that sounds interesting, sister!” said Masato.

“I’m so surprised when I heard about partnerships between a bigger community group and the supporters of our cousins” said Kiyo.

“I like his idea because it will allow the fanbase of Saint Snow to grow once more” said Kairi Kazuno, a first year college student from the and the cousin of Sarah and Leah Kazuno.

“We would love to see their fanbase getting bigger by making partnerships and collaborations” said Mitsuo Kazuno, a second year high school student from the Hakodate Nishi High School and the cousin of Sarah and Leah Kazuno. He’s also the brother of Kairi Kazuno.

“It will be great that Saint Snow will continue to shine even they’re now living in their new home” said Sora Kazuno, a third year middle school student from the Seisho Gakuen Middle School and the cousin of Sarah and Leah Kazuno. Sora is a male because his name is unisex.

“So that, they will be able to give everyone their blessings to believe” said Ryōko Kazuno, a first year middle school student from the Seisho Gakuen Middle School and the cousin of Sarah and Leah Kazuno.

“That’s right, Ryōko-san! Also, he said that he planned to invite me to join the Bravehearts of Hakodate if I want to have my opportunity to shine with them and help the community to grow with blessings” said Reika.

“Ah, okay. Are you going to join that group?” asked Masato.

“I didn’t say anything yet, but I haven’t decided on that yet” said Reika.

“Well, you should join that group because it will help you to make friends” said Masato.

“And it will be very nice that it will increase the friendship between that group and our clan” said Kiyo.

“Of course, Kiyo-nee! I will be more honest if I will join that group because I want to get involved in helping everyone with smiles and joys with my compassion, so that I will make them believe in their hopes and dreams. That’s why I want to represent for them, not only for Sarah and Leah, but for everyone who wanted to cherish themselves for a better dream to make” said Reika.

“Then, say that your friend out here and affirm it” said Masato.

“You will be happy to have them once you’re now part of that group” said Kiyo.

“Okay” said Reika before speaking to Takao. “You know, Takao-san, I will be thrilled to join your group since we have known with each other for a long time after you recognized Sarah and Leah and so, we’re going to work together to make them proud!”

“That’s great, Reika-san! Welcome to our group!” said Takao.

“You will be motivated to have your blessings for us!” said Ayako.

“Thank you, Takao-san and Ayako-san! It’s a great honor to be part of your group and let’s together with our smiles!” said Reika.

“Yeah, you got it!” said Takao and Ayako.

The cousins of Sarah and Leah are very gratified that Reika had finally joined the Bravehearts of Hakodate, which means that they’ll have their own blessings to create as well. They shout together while cheering for Reika, who had been welcomed to be part of the Bravehearts of Hakodate. “Alright! Congratulations, Reika-san!”

“I’m so happy that she’s gonna be shining with her new friends!” said Kairi.

“Yeah, sister! Reika had been very adamant and determined to show up her aura just like Sarah and Leah did because she had been cared by her friends that she gotten along with and now, she’s finally getting an opportunity to be part of that fantastic group” said Mitsuo.

“We’re very proud of our cousins when they have been dazzling as school idols, but we want to have another member of the Kazuno clan to shine as well” said Sora.

“That’s why Reika will be representing for that group because she had been following the examples of Sarah and Leah of being compassionated and enlightened, which she wanted to do the same thing as them” said Ryōko.

“Yep! That’s true, Ryōko-san! Whenever a member of the Kazuno clan planned a dream, he or she would start making progress by dazzling themselves in their own way” said Hidemi Yanagita, a second year high school student from the Kameda Seiran High School and the cousin of Sarah and Leah Kazuno.

“It’s so nice that we have a relative who had been very determined to represent for a bigger community group that had been founded recently” said Akihiro Yanagita, a third year middle school student from the Kameda Seiran Middle School and the cousin of Sarah and Leah Kazuno. He’s also the younger brother of Hidemi Yanagita.

“I’m very happy about this because now that we have her being a member of that prestigious group, she will finally have bigger opportunities to work with them by developing their friendship and helping the community to convince people that they should shine with their hopes and dreams” said Mitsuki Yanagita, a second year middle school student from the Kameda Seiran Middle School and the cousin of Sarah and Leah Kazuno. She’s also the younger sister of Hidemi Yanagita.

“She’ll make sure that she’s gonna do her best to make herself compassionated and thrilled, so that she’ll be ready to engage herself in building new friends and helping the community to bless them” said Tomoe Moriyama, a second year high school student from the Hakodate Nishi High School and the cousin of Sarah and Leah Kazuno.

“Yeah, I agree with that, guys! It’s so nice that I have finally become part of that group because I want to indulge myself to make new friends and I had been very determined to create my own future with them, so that I will be able to bless them by giving them the smile that I need. My cousins Sarah and Leah said that ‘If you want to be compassionated to have friends on your side, then you have to believe yourself.’ I have been getting along with my friends at school, so that I will be able to give them some blessings to make them dazzled. Now that I had been part of the Bravehearts of Hakodate, I’m ready to engage for more, so that I will be brave and bold enough to bless and shine everyone in Hakodate. Right, guys?” said Reika.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“That’s very nice to have a strong determination for your new group, sister!” said Masato.

“I’m so happy that you’re getting blessed by them!” said Kiyo.

“It seems that your future will be more promising now that you have been joining that group because they will help you to shine your way” said Kairi.

“Everyone in Kazuno clan will be cheering for you to make sure that you’re very determined to represent that group” said Mitsuo.

“The more that you’ll engage yourself in working with your new friends…” said Sora.

“…the better that you will have better hopes and dreams to create with as you’re elevating yourself to be like Sarah and Leah” said Ryōko.

“We’ll make sure that you’ll have a lot of things to dream up with, so that you can invite us all you want” said Hidemi.

“Any dream that you can make will be appreciated for all of us to get involved and thrill the way for a great and wonderful friendship” said Akihiro.

“Plus, you’ll be able to work on your own future like building new groups to shine the community or helping people to make themselves comfortable” said Mituski.

“You can do anything in your new group, so that you’ll be able to have blessings for sure!” said Tomoe.

“Of course, I will, guys! You should keep motivating me because one day, you’re all gonna be thrilled when I’ll be giving you something that you want to see in the future” said Reika.

“Okay!” said the relatives of Sarah and Leah.

“Now, are you ready to have a mid-afternoon snack? My parents have prepared those!” said Reika.

“Yes, we will!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

Later, Reika had accompanied the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate to visit the dining area where they will eat their mid-afternoon snack together. The mid-afternoon snack is composed of black forest cake and blueberry cookies.

“It’s so delicious!” said Miori.

“This black forest cake is the best!” said Sachiko.

“I’m so surprised that these foods are very tasty to eat!” said Yūna.

“The blueberry cookies are freshly baked and it tasted good! Nichika.

“Nothing like a great mid-afternoon snack by eating this cake!” said Terumi.

“Oh, wow! I’m loving these desserts!” said Reina.

“Me too! I’m falling in love on this cake!” said Natsumi.

“I can’t believe that this is so good!” said Moeko.

“I would love to get those for myself!” said Akemi.

“Take it easy, girls! One at the time!” said Suzuko.

“Man, I’m so glad that these snacks are good for everyone, especially that I took a bite on this delicious cookie” said Yūki.

“Yeah, it tasted good, of course!” said Hayao.

“Thank you, Reika-san!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“You’re welcome!” said Reika.

“It’s so nice that these snacks are so good that everyone can share with those!” said Madoka.

“And it would be great that we can build our own recipes for those if we want to have our own specialty” said Minami.

“That way, we’ll be treating those for everyone!” said Hatsuko.

“Well, you can borrow some recipes from my parents if you want to, but I can give you right now” said Reika as she gives the notebook to Moeko while Akemi and Suzuko gleam to see what’s inside.

“Oh! I see that those recipes are really cool!” said Madoka.

“I can’t wait to give it a try!” said Minami.

“That way, it will be amazing that we can run our own business one day” said Hatsuko.

“Sure, you can! I’ll help you with that if you want to bake something fresh and tasty” said Reika.

“Okay!” said Madoka, Minami and Hatsuko.

“I wonder about your next plan after you have joined that group, sister!” said Masato.

“It will be amazing that you will have some ideas to make up with!” said Kiyo.

“I’m glad that you ask!” said Reika as she’s going to explain about her plans as a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate. “First of all, I want to collaborate with the Nishigaki family (Sarah and Leah’s maternal side) and the Kotsuji family (my maternal side) where we’ll be planning to organize a food drive where we’ll be planning to sell sweets and desserts to the community. Of course, I also want to let Takao and his friends getting involved as well.”

“Why, yes, you can, Reika-san! We’re very interested into your idea because most of us have been interested in sweets and desserts” said Takao.

“Just like we have eaten these right now” said Ayako.

“It will be grateful that we will work together with your plan because it will be amazing for the people of Hakodate to thrill themselves with these foods” said Hideki.

“That way, they’ll have a happy life that they have some good food to eat!” said Sōsuke.

“And since Sarah and Leah are very good in making desserts, Reika, you can help us making some delicious cakes and pastries” said Hitomi.

“So that, we’ll be able to master those without making mistakes out here” said Setsuko.

“Of course, I can help you with that! My relatives have been very good in making cakes and pastries, especially Sarah and Leah when they were still living with us. Sarah and Leah have their own sweets shop near to my home and there are good costumers running that place very well. Even they’re moving to Numazu after their affirmation to move forward for a new chapter as school idols, they groomed my parents to keep it up while Hiroka had currently managed that place” said Reika.

“So, what they are planning in their new home in Numazu?” asked Yūki.

“They’re already making desserts at their home, especially that they have new friends on their side as well as their old friends including Akari Fukuhara, a classmate of Leah from Seisen Girls’ High School who also moved her home to Numazu” said Reika.

“Wow! I’m surprised about this, Reika!” said Yūki.

“There might be old friends coming out to follow their journey to make sure that they’ll not give up their friendship with them!” said Hayao.

A female voice would be heard from the kitchen as it was revealed to be Hiroka Kazuno, a second year high school student from the Seisen Girls’ High School and the cousin of Sarah and Leah Kazuno. She would be joined by her older brothers Masaru and Hokuto, who were both college students just like Kairi. “You’re right about that! I had been cooking those sweets when Sarah and Leah have moved to their new homes and I had been working hard to make their shop still running.”

Takao would ask Hiroka if she’s indeed her. “You must be Hiroka-san, right?”

“Yep! We met with each other the last time when we hold a graduation party for Sarah” said Hiroka.

“Oh, yeah! I remember that! Me, Ayako, Hideki, Sōsuke, Hideko and Setsuko have been there to congratulate Sarah on completing her high school studies” said Takao.

“It’s so nice that she had been graduated from high school after three years” said Ayako.

“She’s currently in college right now as a freshman in the culinary course” said Hideki.

“Yes, she was. She said that she had been ambitioned to become a great cake chef because she had been very good in making cakes through her family” said Hiroka.

“That’s why she was given an opportunity to study in Shizuoka Prefecture, so that she will be able to give her focus on her study in culinary arts” said Masaru Kazuno, a fourth year college student from the and the cousin of Sarah and Leah Kazuno. He’s also the oldest brother of Hiroka Kazuno.

“We’re very proud of her when she had been able to get a degree because she had been doing a great job in surviving her studies in high school, especially that she had been great in general subjects” said Hokuto Kazuno, a second year college student from the and the cousin of Sarah and Leah Kazuno. He’s also the second oldest brother of Hiroka Kazuno.

“Yeah, I’m very glad that she had done anything to make herself proud” said Takao.

“She’s so delighted that she had been working hard to make sure that she will have her dreams come true” said Ayako.

“It feels great for her because she’s very determined to overcome the challenges that she had” said Hideki.

“Especially when she and her sister Leah have tried their best to prove themselves when they’re competing at the Love Live! School Idol Project Competition” said Sōsuke.

“But other than that, she’s very blissful that she still have high hopes to take up with” said Hitomi.

“That way, she will do her best to fulfill her dreams through her pure heart” said Setsuko.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Hiroka, Masaru and Hokuto.

“Back to what you’re saying, Reika, I was surprised about the fact that Sarah and Leah have been followed by some of their friends that they want to follow their journey in Numazu” said Yūki.

“It would be awesome that they want to stick together rather than getting split up, so that they will keep their friendship together” said Hayao.

“Yes, they are, guys. Sarah and Leah, when they announced that they’ll be moving their homes to Numazu, said that a few of their friends have wanted to follow them because they want to be motivated in showing their support on them by believing themselves” said Reika.

“Thus, this allows them to be invited to be part of Saint Snow’s new fanbase that had been created in Numazu” said Kairi.

“They were Satomi Kitahara, Kazuyo Muranaka, Sachie Takatsuki, Noriko Aragaki, Akari Fukuhara, Hisayo Mitsui, Hiori Kudō and Sayo Horiguchi” said Hidemi.

“These people have decided to follow them to Numazu as they wanted to keep an eye on them, so that they’ll cheering for them to shine” said Mitsuo.

“As a result, they have never lost their willpower when they wanted to stay loyal to them” said Akihiro.

“Because they wanted to encourage them not to give up their careers after what happened in their last run when they tried to qualify for the spring final of the Love Live!” said Tomoe.

“And so, Saint Snow would be now getting better with a new chapter being made for them” said Hiroka.

“As they’re ready to commit themselves in trying to shine their way by believing themselves” said Masaru.

“Hopefully, it will be great to see them performing again like how they have recently performed their new single right now” said Hokuto as he referred to the song 「Dazzling White Town」, which was performed by Saint Snow, composed of Asami Tano, the voice actress of Sarah Kazuno, and Hinata Satō, the voice actress of Leah Kazuno.

“What about Hanako Sasagawa?” asked Yūki.

“She had decided to stay with us as she already committed her new plan of re-organizing the fanbase of Saint Snow in our hometown” said Reika.

“While keeping up her studies in her new school” said Sora.

“She would be joined by Fumie Kotobuki, Megumi Asakawa and Misako Takeno” said Ryōko.

“They have been supporting Saint Snow ever since its formation and they have been blessed by them, which is why they’re running together to make them proud” said Mitsuki.

“Ah, okay. I’m very relieved that she’s going to stay in our hometown, so that she will try her best to make the first fanbase of Saint Snow getting bigger” said Yūki.

“With new followers trying to believe them through their hearts” said Hayao.

“Yeah, we agree with that!” said Reika and the cousins of Sarah and Leah.

“Well, honestly, we should be prepared to visit their new home in Numazu if we can have a perfect day to make Sarah happy on her birthday” said Masato.

“That way, it will be awesome to show some compassion for her because after all, we’re cousins to her” said Kiyo.

“Yeah, of course! We should all be going to Numazu because this is what the members of Kazuno clan shine and believe!” said Reika.

“Yeah!” said the relatives of Sarah and Leah.

“Now, my next plan is to focus on future school projects that our class will be taking with. You see, our class had been doing progress in their studies, especially me because we have so many ambitious students who wanted to make it to the honor’s list. That’s why it will be amazing for me and my fellow classmates to get it because we want to be more determined to represent our class and hopefully, we’ll be planning to have scholarships for college once we’re done in high school in three years” said Reika.

“I have to say that you and your classmates are getting some progress in your studies, so that you will strive for the honor’s list by the end of the term” said Kairi.

“You’re very confident that you want to get earned just like how Sarah and Leah did before in Seisen Girls’ because you want to have better opportunities to get high grades in your subjects that you have taken” said Mitsuo.

“It will be great that you will have better effort to score for a high grade, which means that you might end up going to the honor’s list if you keep this up” said Sora.

“So, it’s going to be a challenge for you to make that happen as you’re ambitious to be an honor student” said Ryōko.

“Yes, that’s true, guys. Hopefully, I will do my best to get high scores, so that I will be able to make myself worthy to get into the honor’s list” said Reika.

“Well, that’s a good ambition that you have, Reika-san! I never know that you have been doing this since you’re more of prospering your way to get earned like we used to” said Takao.

“Yeah! When we have looked forward to get into the honor’s list, we have a lot of challenges to take up with” said Ayako.

“Especially when it’s examination week to take the tests from one subject to another” said Hideki.

“We should be more determined to get into the honor’s list if we want to make it through our minds, so that we don’t want to disappoint ourselves” said Sōsuke.

“It’s nice that we want to make some progress in our studies, so that we’ll have better chances of getting scholarships if we have done that big time” said Hitomi.

“Hopefully, you’ll get used to it if you want to do the same thing” said Setsuko.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the relatives of Sarah and Leah.

“One thing that I was hoping for is that there will be a potential group project where we’ll be working on a group presentation and if I found that interesting to team up with my new group, then I would ask you guys if you’re interested into this” said Reika.

“Yeah, we would be interested in your future group project, Reika-san!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“Okay, then, you’re welcome to take part of my group project if you want to, guys!” said Reika.

“Alright!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“Oh, I’m so excited about this one!” said Miori.

“Yeah, me too, Miori-san! This could be our chance to get involved with her, so that she will be very comfortable to become friends with her!” said Sachiko.

“Yep! I’m would be happy that we would be taking part of her project!” said Yūna.

“It’s going to be fantastic that we will collaborate with her and her friends, so that we’ll be able to develop our friendship with them” said Nichika.

“I have to say that it will be nice for us to help with them because that’s what the bravehearts do” said Terumi.

“To make sure that they’ll be able make themselves through our blessings” said Reina.

“We always have opportunities to work with anyone who had blissful hearts and fantastic thrills” said Natsumi.

“So that, we’ll be able to make them very happy to be with us like the way we used to” said Moeko.

“Of course, we should be more motivated to do our best in showing some pride and willpower to everyone in our side” said Akemi.

“Especially to you, Reika! You’re more generous to live up with your dreams and we’ll be ready to work together no matter what!” said Suzuko.

“We, as members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate, can take action in helping everyone to make sure that we’ll be able to bless and inspire them” said Madoka.

“It’s our goal to make our community being full of blessings and inspirations because we always show our smiles to everyone that they want to inspire us” said Minami.

“Hopefully, we’ll be happy to give you a smile because this is where everyone likes to thrill and shine!” said Hatsuko.

“Yeah, we agree with that!” said the relatives of Sarah and Leah.

“And of course, since I had already joined your group, then it would be amazing that we will work together to develop our friendship like how my cousins did to Aqours” said Reika.

“Of course, you will, Reika-san! I will be delighted that we can do that since you’re a humble and determined friend and being the cousin of Sarah and Leah” said Takao.

“Which means that you’ll blessed and inspired to be with us” said Ayako.

“This is what we, the Bravehearts of Hakodate, used to make friends with anyone who had wanted to ambition themselves with their dreams” said Hideki.

“They know that they want to be like us just like how you have been interested to helping the community with us” said Sōsuke.

“It will be amazing for us that we will be thrilled to see you working with us, so that you’ll be able to bless us through your smiles” said Hitomi.

“And of course, you’ll be earned if you have done something for us” said Setsuko.

“Yes, I am! I will be very determined to represent your group, so you can count on me!” said Reika.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“By the way, Reika-san, if you don’t mind, what about we can organize a gathering by next week, so that we will invite those guys to your home and celebrate together?” asked Hiroka.

“Oh, that’s what I’m about to talk about!” said Reika.

“About what, Reika-san?” asked Takao.

“You see, my cousins have been planning to throw a gathering for our friends on our side, especially some friends of Sarah and Leah at our home, so that we’ll be able to have some fun getting along with each other for just one day. That’s why I had been wondering about you guys getting invited in our gathering. What do you think?” said Reika.

“Well, we would be interested on that, Reika-san!” said Takao.

“I wanna go there!” said Ayako.

“Yeah, me too!” said Miori.

“That would be awesome to get along with you and your friends on your side!” said Reina.

“It would be so nice that we will have a wonderful day to enjoy with for sure!” said Yūki.

“Of course, you can, guys! Since I’m a member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate, I will be happy to invite you to come along with us, so that you’ll be able to meet my friends that I have on my side and you can chime with them if you want” said Reika.

“So that, we’ll be greatly confident enough to believing everyone” said Hokuto.

“That’s why this gathering would be something that we want to celebrate all along” said Kairi.

“Just like how Sarah and Leah have organized their gatherings every month when they have stayed with us” said Mitsuo.

“So, we want to be more determined to have friends on our side by showing some charisma and determination to make us feel good” said Hidemi.

“That way, you’re all welcomed to bless us with your blessings” said Tomoe.

“Well, in that case, we’ll be ready to have some fun with you!” said Takao.

“Yeah, we will make your gathering more blissful and harmonious that you will never forget!” said Ayako.

“That’s great! Then, you should be ready to come along with us next week, so that we’re going to get along together and develop our friendship for sure!”

“Yeah, we will!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Hakodate.

“The last thing that I’m going to plan for right now as a new member of the Bravehearts of Hakodate is to organize a slumber party by the end of the month where me and my fellow friends from that braveheart group will be hanging out with each other here at night because I want to gleam myself in getting to know with them as well as I want to reveal their secrets on how they have become bravehearts ever since they have formed that group before” said Reika.

“That idea sounds good to me, Reika-san! We used to organize slumber parties a few times with our friends on our side” said Takao.

“Especially when we welcomed our guests from our neighboring braveheart groups that are coming from Hokkaido” said Ayako.

“When we did some slumber parties in Takao’s home, we used to tell some unforgotten secrets and have some plan with games” said Hideki.

“As well as the challenges that everyone had to overcome with” said Sōsuke.

“We have been very determined to make them feel good because they want to show their confidence to us as they want to have their moments with us in indulging ourselves” said Hitomi.

“So that, they’ll be greatly motivated to become friends with us for sure!” said Setsuko

“There’s also other ways to make everyone cherished by doing other things that they like such as visiting some magnificent places in the city” said Miori.

“Or having a walk at the park to relax yourself” said Sachiko.

“You can also indulge yourself by doing some recreational activities to make yourself confident to be with your friends” said Yūna.

“Each of us had their own ways to indulge and cherish one person to another because we have always aspired ourselves in making sure that our friends will not let us down” said Nichika.

“Treating them to be prospered and thrilled will make them feel good to make friends with us” said Terumi.

“Which is what exactly we did to show some pride and willpower” said Reina.

“And make our friends getting their confidence being skyrocket to the top” said Natsumi.

A Special Message from Sarah and Leah Kazuno

Hi, everyone! This is Sarah and Leah Kazuno of Saint Snow and we’ll be talking about the Bravehearts of Hakodate, a braveheart group based in our hometown Hakodate. This will be the first time that we’ll be explaining about a braveheart that is coming from our home prefecture Hokkaido and we hope that you’ll like it! Anyway, the Bravehearts of Hakodate is one of the groups that have been formed in Hokkaido and they have been determined to prosper their community through their dreams, thus, they became committed to serve for the better hopes and dreams of everyone in Hakodate. It was led by Takao Shimokawa, the captain of the Kameda Seiran High School boys’ basketball team. According to his principles, he had been ambitioned of running his own group after he had been inspired by his father Tatsuya and his uncles as they have been helping their community by calling them out to work with them, so that they’ll be able to make themselves earned. It’s so nice that they have been able to make their community more prospered and more harmonious, which the people had been proud of them at all. With Takao calling out his friends on his side, he decided to form his own braveheart group, so that they’ll be able to shine themselves for their community to be blessed and inspired. One of the things that they have assembled as a braveheart group is where they made an overhaul in the Shimokawa Residence by turning it into boarding school-like dormitory where members used to sleep in their own rooms for two to three persons. They also turned one of the rooms, which is an open room for his older brother Touma, into a mini library where a collection of books is available for the members to read for advanced studying. It’s so awesome that they have changed everything to make the members getting their chance to fascinate on those. Their recent activity is their expansion where they decided to welcome new members that have true expectations to represent for their community while fulfilling their promise to make new friends. Our cousin Reika had also joined that group because she wanted to shine everyone with her bright ideas to come up with and she had been interested in making friends with them after they have supported us in trying to make it to the main competition of the Love Live! School Idol Project Competition. We were surprised when we heard about this because it will greatly help her to bring new ideas to the Kazunos if she can organize collaborative activities between both sides and build new friendships to make the Kazunos feeling happy to be with them. We hope that she’s gonna do something fantastic and dazzling to make her new friends ready to get blessed and inspired. It feels great that our cousin had been ready to show her compassion for that braveheart group and so, we’ll keep watching out for her for sure! I hope that you enjoyed reading this update because it will be amazing that you’ll give them some blessings through your pride and willpower, so that they’ll be able to bless for you through their smiles. You’ll always be motivated when you’re going to read an update that is related to either us or the people of Hakodate and so, get ready to see more of us in the future updates to come! Until then, we’ll see you next time when we’ll meet with each other again and believe in yourself, everyone!

“When I talked to her a few days ago, her ambition is to attract new friends when she will be joining our group because she had been very determined to make friends just like how she used to do that with her classmates” said Fumiko Katsumoto, a second year high school student from the Takanawa Seigyo High School and one of the co-vice leaders of the Bravehearts of Takanawa alongside Sōsuke Yoshizawa.

“Both Emi and Yuika are very young and they have shown their auras to prove themselves that they can outlast her opponents with her moves” said Yumiko Satozaki, a third year middle school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“But they also have Chika Matsumiya, Masayo Endō, Sakura Ishigaki and Azumi Nakamura have also joined to be part of your team as well!” said Miwako.

“They’re definitely strong and talented through their own moves” said Chiharu.

“Plus, they have also worked on their way to be like us!” said Yukari.

“That’s why it’s going to be amazing that we’re going to meet them when we’re going to visit Emi’s home for sure!” said Konomi.

“We should be very confident that we’re going to make her blessed and inspired now that she’s part of our group” said Saaya Ōshiro, a first year middle school student from the Kōshi Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“Which means that it will be our opportunity to make a great friendship with her and her friends” said Rumi Kozuki, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Kōshi Gakuen Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“They’re very strong and formidable to show their moves without losing their energy” said Ryōta Moriuchi, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“When you look at them shining with their moves, they know how to finish it off like it’s their time to shine” said Yukio Okamoto, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“They’ll definitely looked good when they’re working out to come out stronger as they’re very intimidating to perform some dazzling moves” said Kenta Maeyama, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“Our team had also been stronger, thanks to the production of these five new members, and so, we’re ready to make our statement through our work and hustle” said Nobuyuki Tadokoro, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“Like how the girls did, we’ll dazzle our way to rally together for victory!” said Kusuo Yaginuma, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“It’s so nice that you’re all excited about meeting with our fellow new members in our group and so, it’ll be awesome if we can let them talk about their stories” said Yukihiro.

“You got that right, Yukihiro! Our new members will have their chance to share their stories, so that they will be able to inspire us” said Fumiko.

“They know that it’s their time to know about themselves as they want to be like us” said Sōsuke.

“Everyone can shine like a braveheart because they’ll be more confident to get involved in making our community’s future getting brighter” said Kazuto.

“It will be amazing that we will let them shine all they want, so that they will be able to get recognized through their names” said Ichika.

“That way, they’ll prosper themselves in making their own dreams to ensure that they’re ready to bless and inspire everyone in the community” said Rina.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“By the way, we’re almost there on heading to Emi’s house” said Yukihiro.

“We’ll be ready to meet her as well as her friends for sure!” said Fumiko.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

A few minutes, the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa have arrived at the Kosugi Residence, the home of Emi Kosugi.

“And here we are!” said Yukihiro.

“This is Emi’s home!” said Fumiko.

“Wow! I can’t believe that it’s a modern house” said Yōko.

“It has a large space out there with gardens and terrace out there” said Miwako.

“Maybe, this could be something resembled to the Imperial Garden” said Chiharu.

“Or it could be an ancestral house if it matches those that Miwako mentioned” said Yukari.

“It would be awesome that we check it out” said Konomi.

“Yeah!” said Yukihiro and Fumiko before the former would ring the doorbell.

A female voice would be heard from the speaker through the left. “Who is it?”

Yukihiro would shout at the speaker, so that the respondent would hear what he said. “It’s me, Yukihiro Nakayama, the leader of the Bravehearts of Takanawa. I’m with my friends from my group.”

The female voice would reply to Yukihiro sweetly. “Oh, okay, then. I’ll be coming right now!” Then, the speaker would go on a beep before the door would be opened by Rin Kosugi, who is the older sister of Emi Kosugi and a third year middle school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Middle School. She’s also a classmate of Yumiko Satozaki.

“Rin-chan!” shouted Yumiko.

“Rin-chan?!” reacted the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“Yep! I didn’t know that you came here, Yumiko-san, with your friends out there, especially to you, Yukihiro-san!” said Rin.

“Yes, of course! I’m here to meet your younger sister Emi” said Yukihiro.

“Who had recently joined our braveheart group since she’s the captain of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School girls’ basketball team” said Fumiko.

“Oh, I get it now! Well, then, you guys are in luck because she and her fellow friends are all present at the living room” said Rin.

“Really?!” shouted the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“Yep! Our family holds a gathering with some guests from my mother’s workplace, which is why we have encouraged our guests, especially you guys have welcomed my sister to be part of your group, to make yourself comfortable and treat with me, my sister and family” said Rin as preferred to her and Emi’s mother Hanako Takimoto, who had worked in a music agency as a PR relations staffer.

“Yeah, we will!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“Now, I’ll let you come in to our home and you’ll have a chance to meet with my sister” said Rin.

“Okay!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa as they have finally entered the house of Emi. When they look inside the house of Emi, everyone had been surprised to see the living room where there are a lot of people being chatting indistinct while some have watched some Japanese drama on television. They would finally see Emi and her friends at the sofa.

“Hey, Emi-san!” said Yukihiro.

“Oh! It’s Yukihiro-san!” said Emi Kosugi, a fifth grade elementary school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and a member of the Bravehearts of Takanawa. She’s also the captain of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School girls’ basketball team.

“Onēchan! The guests are here! Did you recognize them?” said Rin.

“Yes, of course, Rin-chan! These guys are coming from the Bravehearts of Takanawa, the group that I recently joined a few days ago” said Emi.

“Ah, that’s very nice! Well, I’ll be giving the guests some refreshments while you will be with them for a while!” said Rin.

“You got it, Rin-chan!” said Emi before Rin leaves to make some blue iced tea, which is Emi and Rin’s favorite drink.

“So, you guys came here to meet me, right?” asked Emi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“It was Megumi’s idea that she came up with after we welcomed you to join our group” said Yōko.

“That’s true, Yōko-chan! We want to hang out with you and your friends out there, so that we’ll be able to start developing our friendship together” said Megumi.

“It will be great you will be very determined to have us to stay here for just a day” said Haruna.

“Well, I’m very motivated that you’re all here, guys! We can start hanging out with each other right now!” said Emi.

“Sure, we would be glad to!” said Yōko, Megumi and Haruna.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“I’ll introduce to my fellow friends from our batch” said Emi.

“Okay!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa before Emi calls out her friends to meet her fellow bravehearts.

Emi would introduce herself. “For those who don’t know about me, I’ll introduce myself once again. My name is Emi Kosugi. I’m a sixth grade elementary school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and the captain of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School girls’ basketball team.”

The friends of Emi would also introduce themselves one by one.

“I’m Chika Matsumiya, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and a member of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School girls’ basketball team.”

“I’m Masayo Endō, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and a member of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School girls’ basketball team.”

“I’m Sakura Ishigaki, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and a member of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School girls’ basketball team.”

“I’m Azumi Nakamura, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and a member of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School girls’ basketball team.”

“I’m Fumihiro Akiyama, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and the captain of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School boys’ basketball team.”

“I’m Yoshihisa Yamazaki, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and a member of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School boys’ basketball team.”

“I’m Seitarō Hiramoto, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and a member of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School boys’ basketball team.”

“I’m Shōya Fujima, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and a member of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School boys’ basketball team.”

“And I’m Masaya Arimoto, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and a member of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School boys’ basketball team.”

Emi and her friends would shout together in unison. “We’re the new members of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School basketball team!”

“I can’t believe that you guys are indeed new to our former team!” said Miwako.

“They’re pretty strong…” said Chiharu.

“…and talented…” said Yukari.

“…with their potential getting higher!” said Konomi.

“They’re very determined and charismatic to have their careers getting started” said Saaya.

“They could later shine together through their auras” said Rumi.

“So that, they’ll be able to dazzle themselves in showing their big moments to the spotlight” said Asumi.

“Yes, we are!” said Emi, Chika, Masayo, Sakura, Azumi, Fumihiro, Yoshihisa, Seitarō, Shōya and Masaya.

“I’m so happy that you’re all here because it’s so amazing that we will be ready to get along with each other day!” said Yōko.

“Of course, we should be very determined to make yourself comfortable and thrilled” said Megumi.

“As we’ll be giving you the blessings that you will have” said Haruna.

“So that, you’re all welcomed to cherish yourself as part of our family” said Ryōta.

“Yep! This is our first time that we have met with you guys and hopefully, you’re all here to give yourself a ride with us!” said Emi.

“We’re always determined to show our smiles, so that we want to be more determined in making our happiness getting developed for more” said Chika.

“Our goal is to make everyone blessed and inspired with our blessings, so that we’ll be confident enough to have a comfortable friendship with them” said Masayo.

“The more that we worked hard to make friends, the better that we will great for us to make them compassionated” said Sakura.

“It will be great for the ten of us that we want to start our new chapter since we have joined your group because we will be thrilled to work together, so that we will make our community getting brighter with hopes and dreams to be made” said Azumi.

“We’re very fortunate that we want to work with you since we always like to believe in miracles” said Fumihiro.

“We know that it’s our time to engage ourselves in making friends and so, it will be nice that we will finally have our opportunities to bless and inspire everyone on our side” said Yoshihisa.

“As new members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa, we want to make the difference in bringing some blessings to those who wanted to be like us” said Seitarō.

“Which means that we’re going to do our best in making everyone feel comfortable to have their blessings” said Shōya.

“And by the day, we’ll make ourselves earned for sure!” said Masaya.

“You’re right about that, guys! I’m very motivated that you have hopes and dreams to be made for your ambitions to grow well” said Yukihiro.

“We’re very determined as bravehearts because we want to prosper our community through our own ways” said Fumiko.

“Our group had been running very well with our first activities being made last month” said Sōsuke.

“And now, we finally started to work on expanding our group by welcoming new members and creating extended groups” said Kazuto.

“Those things are going to empower us in bringing new friendships and opportunities” said Ichika.

“To make sure that we’re going to bless and inspire them through our pride and willpower” said Rina.

“It will be amazing that you should come with us to work together, so that we’ll be able to develop your friendship with us as soon as you’ll commit yourselves to step up and shine while representing our hometown” said Yumiko.

“Yeah, we will!” said Emi, Chika, Masayo, Sakura, Azumi, Fumihiro, Yoshihisa, Seitarō, Shōya and Masaya.

“So, since you guys are thrilled to make yourself comfortable in becoming part of our group, why don’t you guys have your time to share about yourselves, so that we’ll be able to hear about the that you want to get interested with?” asked Megumi.

“It will be amazing for you guys to get to know about yourselves while having a great day in your gathering” said Haruna.

“You’ll always be ready to get energized no matter what!” said Ryōta.

“Okay!” said Emi, Chika, Masayo, Sakura, Azumi, Fumihiro, Yoshihisa, Seitarō, Shōya and Masaya.

A few seconds later, the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa including Emi and her friends would sit down together at the sofa, so that they’ll start the sharing time.

“Now, tell us about yourself, Emi-chan!” said Megumi.

“Our friends want to know about you!” said Haruna.

“Yeah! We would love to hear your ambitions and goals in your life” said Miwako.

“Hopefully, it’s going to be promising and thrilling!” said Chiharu.

“So that, we’ll be happy to support your plans and make yourself blessed and inspired!” said Yōko.

“Okay, you got it!” said Emi. “When I was a little girl, I want to be in the spotlight because I want to shine my way if I want to show my thrill to make everyone comfortable. My mother is a good worker at a music agency while my father is a vocalist of a local music group. Then, I had two older sisters namely Rin and Miyaka. Rin, a third year middle school student, had been interested in watching anime as well as listening to the music, while Miyaka, a second year middle school student, had been interested in Japanese drama. For me, I want to work with my mother’s workplace by being a manager where I can help my future workers to empower themselves. I had been very interested in music, especially songs performed by idols. My good friend of mine Akina Murowaki, the cousin of Karin Asaka, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, said that everyone has a dream to take up with and it will be amazing if you can do it through your compassionated heart. I would make the difference if I want to shine myself through mind and determination.” Akina Murowaki is a third year middle school student from the Taigawa Middle School and her father had worked in the same place as Emi’s mother. Akina is from the Asaka clan through Akina’s mother being the relative of Karin’s father.

“That sounds ambitious to me, Emi-chan!” said Megumi.

“I’m glad that you wanted to become a manager of a music agency” said Haruna.

“It’s going to be great that you can meet up with your future clients, so that you can motivate them” said Ryōta.

“That way, they will finally be starting to respect you for sure” said Yukio.

“Yes, I am, guys. I had started to make friends ever since I started to study in Takanawa Seigyo and they have been compassionated to respect me because I always like to get along with students who wanted to prosper with their own dreams and I became determined to bless them. It feels great that I want to make myself comfortable, especially that I had been motivated through good vibes” said Emi.

“Well, I have to say that you’re a determined girl that you wanted to ambition yourself to make your friends feel comfortable” said Saaya.

“It will be fantastic that they’ll be supporting your basketball career because Megumi and her friends said that you have showed your skills to make some moves to shine” said Rumi.

“Hopefully, you’ll become a superstar just like most of us!” said Asumi.

“Yeah, for sure!” said Emi.

“What kind of genre that you’re interested with when it comes to music?” asked Aoi.

“Honestly, I like to hear some J-pop music, especially idol songs because I want to motivate myself to believe and inspire. My favorite song is 「Give Me Five! 」 by AKB48 because that song was really fit for my personality of being motivated and uplifted, which is why I started to grow like how the idols have used to. Also, I love to listen to other AKB48 songs when I got bored from other things other than basketball, but it made me relaxed to make sure that I’m having a harmonious day to take up with” said Emi.

“Well, you’re very interested on that group!” said Aoi.

“I have to say that you have been a fan of them!” said Shizuka.

“You should be dazzling your way through your smile just like how they used to please their fans” said Kana.

“Yes, of course, girls! I’m a fan of AKB48 because they’re so adorable and charismatic to have their music careers getting developed and I used to have autographs from selected idols in that group” said Emi.

“Wow! That’s so fantastic!” said Aoi.

“I’m so surprised that you have those!” said Shizuka.

“Maybe, you could be an idol too if you want to” said Kana.

“Uh… not really interested of becoming an idol, but I became passioned to be a basketball player because I want to have a field of dreams that I want to shine with my skills, so that I’ll be able to elevate myself in being a great athlete rather than being an aspired idol. Of course, you can do whatever you want with your own dreams, right?” said Emi.

“Yes, we are!” said Megumi, Haruna, Aoi, Shizuka and Kana.

“Did you a friend that is an idol?” asked Seitarō.

“Yes, I have!” said Emi.

“Ah, okay. Then, who is it?” added Seitarō.

“I became a friend of Karin Asaka because she’s a school idol and model that shined her way with her smile. She’s very comfortable to her friends and rivals as she had been determined to prove herself that she can dazzle her performance when she took part of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. I’m very comfortable to have a friend of her and so, she started to respect me when she liked my ambition of becoming a basketball player” said Emi.

“Wow! I’m so surprised that you had been a friend of one of the members of NijiGaku!” said Seitarō.

“You’re seemed to be recognized now that you became friends with her” said Shōya.

“I have to say that you want to follow the same path that our fellow members did, which means that you’re very thrilled to make friends with that school idol group” said Masaya.

“That’s right, Masaya-san! Some of us have been friends with the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club through their connection on two members of that school idol group” said Yōko.

“Me, Haruna and Yōko became friends with Emma Verde” said Megumi.

“Then, me and Kana have been closed to Ai Miyashita” said Chiharu.

“While me, Shizuka and Asumi getting close to Shioriko Mifune” said Aoi.

“On the other hand, most of our members aren’t friends with NijiGaku, but they used to get along with them occasionally” said Miwako.

“The three braveheart groups, our group, the Bravehearts of Takanawa, the Bravehearts of Minato and the Bravehearts of Kōtō have been very close friends with them, which means that we became so thrilled that we want to develop our friendship with them by supporting them when they’re having a performance as well as doing personal encounters when they’re done with practice” said Haruna.

“That’s why we’re very determined to have them as special friends because we want to inspire them through our own desires that we used to cherish them” said Kana.

“They have been thrilled enough to prosper everyone on our side and so, we’ll be intrigued to get closer to them by meeting with each other occasionally” said Yumiko.

“We’ll make sure that we’re going to keep developing our friendship with them” said Saaya.

“Because they will be here to give us some smiles and thrills that we want” said Rumi.

“So that, we’ll be motivated to shine with them for sure!” said Asumi.

“Yeah!” said Emi, Chika, Masayo, Sakura, Azumi, Fumihiro, Yoshihisa, Seitarō, Shōya and Masaya.

“Being a friend of Karin had allowed me to start making friends with her own friends that she had, especially that I had been connected to Akina. Akina had been interested in managing activities like a clerk and so, she’s so compassionated when she visited my home one time to get along with my big sister Rin. It’s so amazing that you’ll be starstruck when you became friends with idols because you’ll have better opportunity to shine your way and it will benefit you to have your thrills being paid off. You will be amazed when they’ll be coming to motivate you” said Emi.

“Yes, we are, Emi-san!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“Since you had a wonderful dream of becoming a manager of your mother’s workplace in the future, I think that you will be confident to shine your way to make yourself comfortable to have your dreams being fulfilled one day” said Yukihiro.

“You’ll be looking forward to make progress not only in your studies, but in your basketball career” said Fumiko.

“Yeah, you got that right, guys! Karin told me when she made a compliment to me about my ambitions” said Emi.

The flashback would be shown when Karin speaks to Emi with an advice. “You have to follow your heart if you want to dazzle the way you dream with. Everything will be all yours if you got yourself earned through your aura. It’s very important that you will dream big because you had a dream in your hands and so do I. You have to work hard if you want to have a successful career because it will help you to grow your future like the way me and my fellow club members of NijiGaku have used to. That way, you’ll be thrilled enough to shine with your pride and motivation.”

“Well, I’m fascinated that you had given an advice like this, Karin-chan. I’ll try my best if I want to earn myself while representing my team” said Emi.

“That’s my girl! I hope that you will make some progress on your basketball career. I’ll be cheering for you, of course!” said Karin.

“Yeah, you got it!” said Emi.

The flashback ends, which leads to Emi continuing to speak about her way of being motivated on her ambitions. “That’s why I can do whatever I want to dazzle all the way and hopefully, I will be hopefully making myself to shine in the court like a superstar.”

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“You should go for it, Emi-san! It will be nice that you will be able to shine with us!” said Megumi.

“You’re very talented like you used to perform your moves from the tryout a few days ago” said Haruna.

“It will be amazing that you’re going to work hard as you’re aiming to become the next superstar just like how Yōko and Megumi did” said Aoi.

“They’re doing their great job in becoming captains of our team, especially that Megumi is currently leading our team right now” said Shizuka.

“If you want to shine with us, then you should dazzle your way by performing your moves to create your own moment” said Kana.

“Yes, I am, girls! I’ll be prepared when we’re going to work together, so that we’ll be able to rally our way to victory for sure!” said Emi.

“Yeah, we agree, Emi-chan!” said Megumi, Haruna, Aoi, Shizuka and Kana.

“I’m sure that you’ll be ready to start your own progress in hoping to make your team getting better” said Konomi.

“When we first joined the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School girls’ basketball team, we started to take the challenges that we have until we finally have our chance to shine when we finally became starters together” said Yukari.

“We found ourselves into our dominance all the way to the quarterfinals where we faced off against Hanzōsen in a losing effort” said Chiharu. Takanawa Seigyo had advanced to the quarterfinals where they lost to Hanzōsen with the score of 65-74. Hanzōsen would eventually lose to the eventual champions Shiodome Gakuen in the semifinals after Tomomi Fukumoto shooting a game-winning three, 62-64.

“It was the best season for our school as we have been able to exceed expectations to please our head coach Nobuo Akiyama, who had been able to change the playbook that made ourselves formidable while running the game” said Miwako.

“Maybe, you and your teammates will be able to work it out with Megumi and the rest of the team, so that you will be able to create your own firepower to rally” said Yōko.

“Yeah, I’m definitely motivated to make our team getting stronger and hopefully, it’s our time to run it back. Right, girls?” said Emi.

“Yeah!” said Chika, Masayo, Sakura and Azumi.

“That’s good! I will watch out for you when you’re in the court!” said Yōko.

“It’s going to be amazing that you will create your own game just like we used to do that for our team” said Miwako.

“Everyone has a chance to shine in Takanawa Seigyo, so that they’ll be able to show their moves to shine and have the best performance for themselves” said Chiharu.

“The more that you perform well, the better that your team will get some momentum to create with” said Yukari.

“That way, you’ll be shining your way to rally your team to victory for sure!” said Konomi.

“Yeah, I will!” said Emi while giving Yōko and her friends a smile.

“One more question before moving on to the next person, Emi-chan. What is your desire as a member of the Bravehearts of Takanawa?” said Megumi.

“Honestly, I want to give my friends some charisma and willpower if they want to engage themselves in making their own dreams because my friends from my own group, the Illumination Wave, have also wanted to make up their own dreams to prosper with and I became very confident with them, especially to Nanami Kobayashi, my fellow classmate, who had been ambitioned to be a radio talk show host when she’s growing up. I like to make blessings to everyone on my side and I want them to be cherished. So, I will be happy if my friends are ready to inspire me because they know that I had a good dream and they will be grateful to motivate me as always. My other teammates have also done that as well because they’re very confident with their dreams running well” said Emi.

“That’s right, Emi-chan! The four of us have been determined to keep our dreams for ourselves, especially that we wanted to be blessed and inspired” said Chika.

“After we have seen Yōko and her teammates leading their way to the quarterfinals last winter, we finally decided to step up and show that we’re good to rally in our own way” said Masayo.

“We have shown our skills even we faced against each other during the ball tournament earlier this year, which we finally got ourselves the spots to join the varsity team” said Sakura.

“Hopefully, we’ll have to impress our senpais, so that we’ll be able to get earned to be superstars next year once they’ll be graduating next year” said Azumi.

“You’re right about that, Azumi-chan! Since the five of you have been so charismatic to represent our varsity team, then we can start running through training and practice games” said Megumi.

“That will help you improving your skills if you want to be part of us with your pride and willpower” said Haruna.

“We’ll make sure that you girls will do your best to unleash your firepower” said Aoi.

“And prove to us that you have the moment to shine” said Shizuka.

“Just don’t disappoint us, so that we’ll be going to bless you with our blessings” said Kana.

“Yes, we will!” said Emi, Chika, Masayo, Sakura and Azumi.

“I have been very confident ever since I started playing basketball when I was a little girl and from that time until I finally joined your team, I’m very blessed to be part of the Bravehearts of Takanawa and I will promise myself that I will make everyone feel comfortable with my smile and thrill” said Emi.

“You said it, Emi-san! I’m very thrilled that you’re coming to represent for us” said Yukihiro.

“It will be amazing that you’re going to indulge yourself by hanging out with us, so that you’ll have a lot of friends to befriend with” said Fumiko.

“Everyone in our group can bless and inspire through their hearts, so that they’ll be determined to keep their pride, courage and willpower” said Sōsuke.

“Most of us are very determined to show our auras to make sure that we’re gonna make it to get it done when we organized activities” said Kazuto.

“We, as member of the Bravehearts of Takanawa, can do a lot of things to make our community getting grower with blessings that they have” said Ichika.

“Especially that they will have hopes and dreams to create with, so that they’ll shine their way to bless and inspire us” said Rina.

“You will be ready to have your blessings being created once you’re coming out to represent our braveheart group, so that you’ll be able to have better opportunities to have your future getting brighter as it would be” said Yumiko.

“Yes, of course, guys! I’m always prepared to do to represent your group and it will be a great pleasure to work with you, so that we’ll shine our community for sure!” said Emi.

“Now, that’s what I like to see your pride out here, Emi-san!” said Yōko.

“Oh, I’m going to be so excited that you’re here to run with us!” said Miwako.

“I’ll be delighted to see you and your teammates showing some blessings to the friends on your side” said Chiharu.

“That way, they’ll always believe in you” said Yukari.

“Just make them proud if you want to shine with your aura” said Konomi.

“Yes, I will, girls! You can count on me because I’m ready to shine with you!” said Emi.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

Rin would return to give the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa some blue iced tea while being joined by Miyaka Kosugi, the second older sister of Emi, and Akina Murowaki. Miyaka is a first year middle school student from the Takanawa Seigyo Middle School.

“Here you go, guys!” said Rin.

“Some refreshments to make yourself feel better!” said Miyaka Kosugi.

“Enjoy!” said Akina Murowaki, who has a navy blue hair just like Karin, but longer than her. She also wears a star hairpin on her right side of her hair, symbolizing as a member of the Asaka clan.

“Thank you very much, Rin-san!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa before drinking their refreshments together. They would react together after finish drinking the refreshments. “Oh, it’s so good!”

“I’m feeling great right now!” said Yōko.

“This drink was so good!” said Miwako.

“I can feel the aura again!” said Chiharu.

“I have to say that your drink is the best!” said Yukari.

“Which is so nice that I can finally energize myself like a strong girl” said Konomi.

“Yeah, that’s right! Our friends and I have enjoyed ourselves with desires and charisma that we kept through our minds and we always do indulge moments to make sure that they’ll make themselves feel better” said Rin.

“We wanted to be more charismatic to the guests like you because we will be delighted to give you a smile” said Miyaka.

“That would be a great way to express yourself being blessed and inspired” said Akina.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“We want to keep our confidence to make sure that we don’t want to lose them as we have been very determined to make themselves comfortable” said Saaya.

“We’ll be more delighted to motivate ourselves just like we used to when there’s any moment that will happen one at the time” said Rumi.

“So that, we’ll be ready to represent our group through our auras” said Asumi.

“That’s very nice! I hope that you guys have stayed comfortable since you have talked to my little sister and her friends” said Rin.

“We will be great if you can allow us to join your conversation because we want to hear what you’re talking about” said Miyaka.

“We love conversations like this and so, it will be awesome to indulge this as always” said Akina.

“Sure!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“You can come along with us, girls!” said Yukihiro.

“We’re very confident to make conversation like this, so that everyone will be chiming with us to talk anything” said Fumiko.

“We still have a lot of sharing to come out from our new friends” said Yōko.

“So, get ready to hear they’re about to say” said Megumi.

“Okay!” said Rin, Miyaka and Akina.

“Now, it’s time to move on to another person, which will be Fumihiro Akiyama” said Tomio.

“So, share with us about yourself” said Shunichi.

“Sure!” said Fumihiro as he’s going to explain about his personal life. “I started to follow basketball when I was about 4 years old, watching a game of basketball in a crowded place at the Komazawa Gymnasium. Then, I started to learn the moves of my own because I was the only member of the Akiyama family that had been focused on sports, compared to my 4 siblings, who were all interested in entrepreneurship. Then, I became part of the training camp last year that was organized by the Furuhashi Charities and Talents, a non-profit organization that energizes youth for better change. I was so surprised that I was able to get balling like how they have used to and so, I’m very impressed by the trainers from various schools including Naoya Kitagawa, the current head coach of my varsity team. This is the part where I finally started my own career as a member of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School boys’ basketball team. I have seen Ryōta before as he had been a great contributor for the bench and he ended up entrusting me to work on my shots in my first training. I’m so surprised that I had been working on my way to become a great athlete for this team and hopefully, when Mr. Kitagawa-sensei had called me to play, I’ll prove to everyone that I’m here to create my own moment.”

“That’s a nice sharing out there, Fumihiro! I didn’t know that you were born to ball since you have worked hard to be a superstar in the future” said Tomio.

“I’m surprised that you want to be the best for yourself!” said Shunichi.

“I have to say that you’re ambitious to become a great player like us” said Ryōta.

“I like your determination as you wanted to work hard in becoming the best player in the league” said Yukio.

“I believe that you’re different than us because you’re considered efficient and consistent at all” said Kenta.

“It feels great that you are getting prepared to be the best in your class when you’re about to shine your way” said Nobuyuki.

“You’ll always be ready to motivate for us when you’re going to represent our team for sure” said Kusuo.

“Yes, I am, boys! My wish is to make it to the professional league if I’m very good in my basketball career. As soon as I’ll be lighting out all day, I’ll be aiming to be the best player in Minato” said Fumihiro.

“Well, you’re seemed to be confident in trying to become one of the best players in our hometown” said Sōsuke.

“I say that you had a brighter future in your hands, boy” said Kazuto.

“It would be amazing if you can prove the ground that you’re good at your plays” said Yukihiro.

“Yes, I am!” said Fumihiro.

“But I have a question for you. What do you want to challenge in your career?” said Yukihiro.

“I want to deserve myself in becoming a starter one day if I can make 20-10 in my first game” said Fumihiro.

“That one would be difficult to do, Fumihiro” said Sōsuke.

“Yeah, some high schoolers score those if they’re good enough to perform well, I guess” said Kazuto.

“Maybe, you can score at 20+ points in your first game, but you won’t be able to get 10+ rebounds or assists. You should focus on scoring a lot than doing that feat” said Yukihiro.

“Uh… yeah, you’re right, Yukihiro. I think that I can score as many as I want to” said Fumihiro.

“Then, why don’t you have some practice with us one day? That way, you’ll feel better to step up in your possible first game” said Yukihiro.

“Really?” asked Fumihiro.

“Yeah!” said Yukihiro, Sōsuke and Kazuto.

“It will benefit you to make yourself dominant and efficient if you want to be one of the future players in Minato” said Sōsuke.

“You’ll be shining just like us because we used to run our place through our auras” said Kazuto.

“Hopefully, you will be ready to shine your way to make yourself earned” said Yukihiro.

“Of course, I will! You will see me in the court when I’m ready to start my own future in my career” said Fumihiro.

“Yes, you will!” said Fumihiro while Sōsuke and Kazuto nod their head in agreement.

“Now, what is your desire as a member of the Bravehearts of Takanawa?” asked Ryōta.

“I want to let my friends putting some respect on my name because I want to get myself earned in trying to put my career getting harmonious like the way it used to be. Mr. Kitagawa-sensei said that it’s important that if you love the game of basketball, you’ll cherish yourself to have a magnificent career when you’re growing up. That’s what I want to do to energize myself and have fun playing basketball” said Fumihiro.

“That’s interesting to hear!” said Ryōta.

“I have to say that you’re very determined to make yourself charismatic while playing basketball because it will make you indulged to prove that you’re very good at it” said Yukio.

“Young players like us have their own opportunities to show their moves and then, they want to make sure that they’ll be taking care of business to make themselves stronger” said Kenta.

“Since you’re now part of our team” said Kusuo.

“We want our players to shine their way, so that they’ll be able to get earned and recognized through their names. Our head coach said that we want us to be formidable and dominant, so that we’ll be able to play hard and rally ourselves to victory” said Ryōta.

“Hopefully, it will be work you out, so that you’ll be able to perform well and have some great performance to please us” said Yukio.

“Yes, I will!” said Fumihiro.

“I’m very thrilled that you’re about to start your career with Ryōta’s team and it’s going to be fun for you and your friends to work along with Ryōta and the rest of the team!” said Megumi.

“I have to say that the boys’ basketball team will finally get some firepower that they have after getting past through the round of 16 where they lost to the Daiba Gakuen Elementary School boys’ basketball team” said Haruna. Takanawa Seigyo lost to Daiba Gakuen in the round of 16 of the district tournament with the score of 48-56.

“Things are about to get even better for Ryōta’s team because they’re ready to run it back!” said Aoi.

“They know that it’s their time to prove themselves that they’re ready to make some firepower to dominate” said Shizuka.

“So that, you guys will rally your way to victory while being on the move!” said Kana.

“Yeah!” said Ryōta, Yukio, Kenta, Nobuyuki, Kusuo, Fumihiro, Yoshihisa, Seitarō, Shōya and Masaya.

“I’m very impressed about your sharing, Fumihiro-san!” said Miyaka.

“I have to say that you’re getting pumped up to start your own career, so that you’ll be able to make your team dominating like how they have used to last year” said Rin.

“Yeah, I agree, girls!” Fumihiro while giving Emi, Rin, Miyaka and Akina smile on their face. “I’m definitely ready for my career to get started and hopefully, you’re all here to support me no matter what! I’ll be determined to make my future getting brighter, so that I will be happy to have my blessings to be made for sure!”

“You’ll make yourself earned if you will be making it to the top. I promise!” said Konomi.

“Yeah, you’re right about that! Since it’s been an honor to be part of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School boys’ basketball team, then you better believe in me while supporting me on my career in a heartbeat!” said Fumihiro.

“Yes, we will, Fumihiro-san!” said the members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa.

“Now that Fumihiro’s sharing is done, let’s move on to the rest of the new members as we’re going to ask them some quick questions” said Megumi.

“That’s right, Megumi-chan! The rest of the new members of our group will be greatly motivated to answer all questions” said Haruna.

“Hopefully, you’ll be prepared to answer those questions because it will help you to get to know about yourself” said Yōko.

“Yeah!” said Chika, Masayo, Sakura, Azumi, Yoshihisa, Seitarō, Shōya and Masaya.

“Now, then, it’s time to ask you the first question” said Megumi as she’s going to ask the new members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa a question. “What are your ambitions in your life right now?”

A Special Message from Karin Asaka

Hi, everyone! This is Karin Asaka of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I’m here to share about my friends of mine in Minato and Kōtō that have become bravehearts. Before I’ll explain those, I’ll explain why I have been admired by some of my bravehearts who have started to inspire me when I became a school idol. The reason of this is because I had been very confident to have someone being special to me, which they used to share their smiles and give their thrills to me, so that they’ll support me on my school idol career. Of course, I have some from the Bravehearts of Takanawa and the Bravehearts of Kōtō where they have been very determined to get closer to me through rainbow hearts. Now, I’ll divide it into two groups, so that it will be easier know, which bravehearts are coming from. The first group is from the Bravehearts of Takanawa and the other group is the Bravehearts of Kōtō. The first group is composed of Emi Kosugi, Chika Matsumiya, Masayo Endō, Fumihiro Akiyama and Seitarō Hiramoto. They were very young and determined fifth graders from the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School and they have been more admired to show their compassion to me. The first root for this is when Emi’s older sisters Rin and Miyaka have been fans of mine that they liked my modeling career before I became a school idol. They were interested in ecstatic clothes that are fashionable and they have been aiming to work in the media company in the future. I’m fascinated that Emi and her friends have been interested in my school idol career because they liked my futuristic ideas, especially that I taught them to dance like me. Isn’t that awesome that I have taught them? Of course, you’re thrilled to see that! Anyway, the other group is composed of Emiko Kishida, Marika Fujimi and Eriko Haruno, who were members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. They have been working together in making some songs that they composed; thus, they have formed their group known as the E・MA・RI, which is coincidently inspired from A・ZU・NA, but more of using futuristic songs that sparks around to gleam and shine. They ended up getting along with their close friends on their side when they performed together in collaborative acts, especially in teaming up with their best friends Fumie Sakuramiya, Shiori Higashide and Kanako Mizuguchi. It’s so nice that they have been able to dazzle themselves to make sure that they’re going to shine together as future superstars. One time, they even collaborated with me and Ai when we performed the song ‘POWER SPOT!’ together in front of the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. It was a great moment for us to perform together through our smiles because we have been able to shine to make sure that we’ll have a successful performance that made everyone pleased. I’m sure that you’ll like this because we’re more determined to gleam and shine as always. I hope that when those bravehearts will meet with each other, it will be something more fun to bloom, gleam and shine to make me thrilled for sure! Anyway, that would be it for me and of course, get ready to witness another connection circle to be posted by next week (February 6) because my fellow NijiGaku member Emma Verde will be sharing about the connection circle of Sayaka Morinaka. Hopefully, you’re going to gleam on this for yourself, so that you’ll get to know about her side of friends and allies when Emma will be sharing about this! Also, tomorrow (January 31) will be the birthday of the seiyu that voiced me, Miyu Kubota, and of course, you'll be ready to get thrilled when her birthday comes and I'll be happy to see you giving her a 'Happy Birthday' with your smile! 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 shining without letting yourself down to believe, everyone!

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 112: “It’s Sparkling Time with Naoko’s Colorful Friends!”

Emi and her friends have joined the Bravehearts of Takanawa because they were part of the roster of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary School basketball teams, both girls’ and boys’ team, and of course, they have their one common goal to shine with: to develop a friendship with them through brighter ideas and fantastic thrills. It’s so nice that Emi had been very compassionated to show her smile to her friends including new friends from the Bravehearts of Takanawa as she had been very confident that she’ll have a brighter future with them when she’s going to step up and represent for the southern part of Minato. It’ll be fantastic to see Emi ready to shine her way because she’ll be ready to show her smile and shine like her fellow bravehearts did!;) The Bravehearts of Takanawa had been able to grow their blessings with their expansion being made as they’re motivated to shine for more to make sure that they’re going to give the community some thrills that they’ll get. They’ll be ready to create their future because not only that they’re here to cheer for you, but they’ll bloom and prosper them through their rainbow hearts!:) Now that the month of January will about to end tomorrow (January 31) to move onto the month of February, the next update will be heading back to the Misawa Resort Hotel because this time, it will be focused on Naoko Sugisaki and her friends from Team Blue and Yellow where they’ll be hanging out with the classmates of Naoko in a badminton session during the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week. It’s going to be thrilling and energizing to have a badminton-related update for a long time after I had previously done that with the Takenaka twins and their friends from the Foul Play Crew back in 2019, but hopefully, you’re all ready for this to show some smile and energy because there will be a lot of action to witness as Naoko and her friends are ready to show their moves to shine!:) I’ll see you on February 2 (Wednesday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!
 
A Special Announcement from Karin Asaka (CV. Miyu Kubota):

Date: May 8, 2010 (Saturday)

This side story is focused on Naoko Sugisaki as she had invited her friends on her side to get along with the members of Team Blue and Yellow to play badminton at the Recreational Center.

The members of Team Blue and Yellow and the friends of Naoko Sugisaki have walked on their way to the Recreational Center where they’ll be playing badminton at the badminton room near the basketball court that is currently closed due to the ongoing game between the Hasegawa Stars and the Ōta Future All-Stars.

Classmates of Naoko Sugisaki: Sumika Tsuchiya, Toshinori Miyamoto, Kiriko Fukuyama, Shinobu Igarashi, Kyōko Yamashita, Fuyuki Mitsuhashi, Atsuko Sawada, Mamoru Konishi and Rika Hagiwara

“I can’t wait to visit that place, Naoko-san!” said Sumika Tsuchiya, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a classmate of Naoko Sugisaki.

“It will be awesome that we will play some game of badminton right here!” said Toshinori Miyamoto, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a classmate of Naoko Sugisaki.

“I’m so excited to play that game with you, Naoko-chan!” said Kiriko Fukuyama, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a classmate of Naoko Sugisaki.

“Hopefully, we’ll have the best day that we will get on with because the Fuchsia and Celadon Week will come to a close later tonight” said Shinobu Igarashi, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a classmate of Naoko Sugisaki.

“Yeah, that’s right, Shinobu-san! I used to play badminton with my friends when we don’t have anything to finish some school works or sometimes, we want to relax ourselves first” said Naoko Sugisaki.

“We have so much fun playing badminton with each other because it became a hobby for us to get used with” said Kyōsuke Fumizaki.

“It feels great that we became energized when we’re playing that sport, so that we’ll be looked good in using our speed and stamina” said Asumi Ishida.

“Which we’re thrilled to do a lot of things quickly” said Daisuke Kikuchi.

“Especially that we have made so many moves to shine with” said Kanae Hashimoto.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the classmates of Naoko.

“It will be amazing that we want to play with you, so that it will be great for all of us to learn about the basic moves of badminton” said Sumika.

“We should be very thrilled to teach us the moves because you guys are good at it” said Toshinori.

“If we’re good enough to learn those moves, we will finally have a chance to battle you for fun” said Kiriko.

“It will be intense to have a challenge to see who the best player is” said Shinobu.

“Yeah, you said it! So, let’s make sure that we will have a good day to energize before we’ll cap off this day at the central park later tonight” said Naoko.

“Yeah!” said the classmates of Naoko while giving Naoko a smile.

When they have reached to the entrance of the badminton room, they would met by Minako Misawa, the oldest sister of Maho Misawa.

“Guys, the badminton room will be closed early due to the guests are expecting to watch the tournament final of the Ōta Blue Wind Cup later on” said Minako Misawa.

“Okay, we get it now, Minako-san” said the members of Team Blue and Yellow and the classmates of Naoko.

“However, you can still play until it reaches 3:00 in the afternoon, so you better get faster on playing badminton before we’re about to close it down soon” said Misawa.

“Sure, we will!” said the members of Team Blue and Yellow and the classmates of Naoko.

“Just leave it to me, Minako-san! We’ll be staying here until we’ll leave this place for sure!” said Naoko.

“Okay, then, have fun playing at the badminton room!” said Minako while leaving to the counter.

“Thank you very much, Minako-san!” said the members of Team Blue and Yellow and the classmates of Naoko.

“It’s already 1:00 in the afternoon and we have to stay here for 2 hours before we’ll be going elsewhere to have some fun today” said Naoko.

“Yeah, I believe so, Naoko-san. I have been wondering about this because we should go elsewhere, but I want to have a chance to play here” said Sumika.

“Same goes to me, girl. I think that we should practice first before we’ll leave this place” said Toshinori.

“Hopefully, we’re all good in playing badminton, so that we’ll gonna use our moves to shine” said Kiriko.

“It will be awesome that we should do our best in practicing the moves before we’ll have some exhibition matches to finish it off this session” said Shinobu.

“Yeah, you got it, guys! Now, prepare your rackets before it’s time to have some practice!” said Naoko.

“Okay!” said the members of Team Blue and Yellow and the classmates of Naoko as they’re ready to have some practice playing badminton with Naoko to begin their session together.

The first technique in badminton will be the serving, which is used at the start of a play in that sport.

“Now, for the serving, you have to place the shuttlecock above the racket before you start rallying when you’re trying to defend your court. Serving is the most important thing to start making a play in badminton as it will determine that speed that you’re using, so that you’ll be able to rally your way with your techniques” said Naoko.

“So, how does the speed works, Naoko-san?” asked Sumika.

“Yeah, we wonder the same thing” said Toshinori.

“The speed will be based on how you served when you’re serving in the game. If your speed is slow, your opponent will easily take a score whether it’s a fault or not, but if your speed is fast, you will finally start defending your court until the shuttlecock hits out of the playing field. It will be amazing that you’re going to have a point if you manage to make an ace, which has less chance of having that to happen” said Naoko.

“Ah, okay, we understand now” said Sumika and Toshinori.

“Now, I’ll demonstrate you on how it’s gonna work” said Naoko as she asks her classmate to watch her doing the serve. Naoko would go to the server’s lane where she would do the serve by smashing the shuttlecock with her racket with her normal speed and the shuttlecock sends flying to the other side of the court. “You have to find a spot to serve with before you’ll hit it like that. However, you have to be careful when you’re serving the shuttlecock because you will commit a fault if you send it to the out of bounds. So, in order to prevent that to happen, you have to use the normal speed to serve the shuttlecock in a quicker way.”

“Okay, we got it!” said the classmates of Naoko.

“Now, let’s see if you can make it!” said Naoko.

“Okay!” said the classmates of Naoko as they will be practicing their service before doing it in front of Naoko and her friends. Sumika would go first to serve the shuttlecock.

“Here I come!” said Sumika as she smashes the shuttlecock with her racket to send the shuttlecock flying to the other side of the court.

“Great job, Sumika-san! I knew that you can do it!” said Naoko.

“Thanks, Naoko-san! I’m feeling great when I’m doing it! I can start it out with my own speed to work!” said Sumika.

“Yes, you can!” said Naoko.

Next up, it would be Toshinori’s turn to serve the shuttlecock where he was able to hit it moderately without sending it to the outside.

“That one was stupendous!” said Kyōsuke.

“You’re looking right now!” said Asumi.

“Yep! I’m always going for the kill with this one when I’m going to serve the shuttlecock for myself” said Toshinori.

“Yeah!” said Kyōsuke and Asumi.

Kiriko would take her turn to do the serve where she would be able to hit the shuttlecock with her speed, sending the shuttlecock to the other side of the court.

“Wow! That was so beautiful!” said Haruyo Kusaka.

“You’re locking in right now!” said Tarō Matsuba.

“That smash was so strong!” said Saori Minagawa.

“Thanks, guys! I’m pretty good at this, but I will have to be careful in trying to make those shots running like it’s lights out” said Kiriko.

“Yes, you are!” said Haruyo.

“I’m pretty glad that you’re getting better in practicing those” said Tarō.

“Hopefully, it will energize you to serve those for yourself” said Saori.

“Yeah, I will!” said Kiriko.

Shinobu would take his turn to serve the shuttlecock as he was able to manage that through hitting it with his hustle. The shuttlecock would be sent away to the other side of the court.

“That one was so solid!” said Kishō Ogata.

“That’s almost an ace, boy, but you’re good!” said Nagamasa Miwa.

“Well, not really, but I’m very more focused on locking for the ace if I want to work hard as soon as I would” said Shinobu.

“You better keep practicing on that if you want to have a good game” said Kishō.

“Naoko said that it will empower you when you’re playing that sport in a competitive game” said Nagamasa.

“Yeah, I know that because I got this!” said Shinobu.

“Yeah!” said Kishō and Nagamasa.

Then, Kyōko Yamashita, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a classmate of Naoko Sugisaki, would step up to take her turn where she was able to do the serve where she smashes the shuttlecock with her racket, sending it away to the other side of the court. This one was more compared to what Sumika did earlier, but the difference is Kyōko’s speed is better than Sumika.

“That’s a stupendous serve, Kyōko-san!” said Hirono Yamanaka.

“That serve was more thrilling to get an ace like that!” said Miori Misawa, the youngest sister of Maho Misawa.

“Of course, it is, girls! I would be more honest if I can do that during a game, but it’s not gonna be easy when I’m doing this move” said Kyōko.

“Yes, you should. Maybe, you have to keep an eye on where you’re going to aim at because it will be amazing to let it fly with your smart move that you used” said Hirono.

“That’s where my sister Maho did that when she’s finding an opening to take it in for herself” said Miori.

“Okay, I can do that!” said Kyōko.

The next person to show his serve is going to be Fuyuki Mitsuhashi, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a classmate of Naoko Sugisaki, as he’s serving the shuttlecock by smashing it with his racket and sending it flying to the other side of the court.

“You’re amazing, Fuyuki!” said Daisuke.

“I’m so surprised that you did that!” said Tsutomu Fukada.

“That’s more of an ace, I tell you!” said Yoshinori Toshima.

“I have to say that you’re good at this!” said Akitsugu Wakui.

“Yep! I’m aiming to score an ace if I want to shine my moves in playing badminton. I would do that as soon as I want to defend my court myself” said Fuyuki.

“Oh, okay, you can do that all you want, Fuyuki, because you’ll be ready to have your moment to shine later on” said Daisuke.

“Okay, you got it!” said Fuyuki.

After Fuyuki, it would be the turn of Atsuko Sawada, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a classmate of Naoko Sugisaki, as she’s showing her serve to please Naoko by smashing the shuttlecock with her racket to let it fly to the other side of the court.

“You’re doing great in serving that one, Atsuko-san!” said Kanae Hashimoto.

“I have to say that you’re getting more confident to serve like that because you’re looked forward to get work on it” said Kazumi Tanaka.

“It will be awesome if you have to be careful on when you’re attempting to serve” said Yukari Uchida.

“Because if you serve badly, you will end up getting a fault” said Daigo Kichise, the cousin of Akihiro and Satomi Kichise.

“Yeah, I know, but to be honest, I have a lot of confidence to work on my moves because I can show my aura to get it done if I have to keep working until it’s good to go” said Atsuko.

“Then, you have to be smart to find a place to serve and then, go for the point” said Kanae.

“That way, you’ll be able to perform well in a badminton game” said Kazumi.

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

The next person to serve will be Mamoru Konishi, whose speed is very consistent just like Natsuhi, as he was able send the shuttlecock to the other side of the court with his racket, using his own quick play to get it done. Mamoru is a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a classmate of Naoko Sugisaki.

“That’s so cool! I never imagine that this serve was looked like a blitz!” said Karin Toshima.

“I’m surprised that you’re very good in serving that one” said Michio Hatsumi.

“Maybe, you can shine your way with your movement while trying to score a point” said Nobuaki Hara.

“You will be way good enough to step it further just like that” said Taiichi Hironaka, the cousin of Jun Hironaka.

“Of course, I’m good at this and I can work my way to score a point because I’m very consistent to get it done like my friends did” said Mamoru.

“Then, keep doing that until you’re all good to go!” said Karin.

“Maybe, we can battle against each other later on to see how it’s done if you have the guts to beat me” said Michio.

“Well, I’m down with that, boy!” said Mamoru.

Last but not the least, Rika Hagiwara, a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a classmate of Naoko Sugisaki, had been able to perform her serve as she was able to smash the shuttlecock to the other side of the court with her racket.

“You’re doing great, Rika-san!” said Shigetoshi Makara.

“I’m very impressed with your move when you’re doing that serve” said Yasushi Sawano.

“You’re seemed to be confident that you have worked it out to shine” said Aki Uchiyama.

“Yes, I am! I always getting my way to show my moves when it’s my first time playing badminton, but I’m sure that I will be ready to dazzle myself when I’m in the game, so that it’s my time to prove myself that I’m worthy against my opponents” said Rika.

“Well, you’re good at that sport, Rika-san. I would be delighted if you can show some moves to prove yourself that you’re good at it” said Shigetoshi.

“It will be amazing that you’re gonna shine later on” said Yasushi.

“We’ll make sure that you’ll be ready to make yourself dazzling with your moves to get it done” said Aki.

“Yes, I will!” said Rika.

“Well done, guys! Now, let’s move on to another technique!” said Naoko.

“Yeah!” said the members of Team Blue and Yellow and the classmates of Naoko.

The montage would show Naoko and the members of Team Blue and Yellow teaching the classmates of Naoko on how to play badminton with different techniques that they used. They would teach them on how to use forehand grip and backhand grip before doing the next move, which will be back hand move. After that, they would do the return of service, followed by the different kinds of badminton shots like the overhead shots, the net shots, the net lifts, the smash shots and the drive shots. Then, they would be doing the defense block shots where they have to use their rackets to defend by hutting the shuttlecock, which was used in doubles and mixed doubles. It would be followed by the use of footwork in badminton where they will use stances and movements to make themselves quicker to play badminton just like how the badminton athletes did. After which, they would do the practice for about 30 minutes where they will be playing against each other to see if the classmates of Naoko have proved the ground completely.

In one scene, Naoko and Sumika would play against each other in an exhibition game. Sumika had to use the techniques that she learned from Naoko as she tried her best to score points. Things have been looked good for Sumika when she was able to get the upper hand against Naoko, thus she’s very energetic and motivated to get better at badminton after all. Just then, when Naoko smashes the shuttlecock with her racket, Sumika would jump high to perform the smash shot to send the shuttlecock flying to the open field, which Naoko missed her chance of fighting it back as she got stunned to see Sumika doing a move that she never done that before.

“Oh, my goodness! You did that move, Sumika-san?” surprisingly said Naoko.

“Yep! I haven’t done that before doing this move, but I had seen that from one of the athletes in the high school badminton team in Hiroko Furuhashi. She’s so good in doing smash shots whenever she’s standing away from the net and doing that move to make sure that she’s scoring for her team” said Sumika. Hiroko is a second year high school student from the Keishin Academy High School and a member of the Keishin Academy High School girls’ badminton team.

“Well, I was surprised that you have worked on that move because you want to use it after seeing someone from the varsity team” said Naoko.

“Yes, of course! The badminton team had produced a lot of good players that they have because they have found some players that are good in speed and acceleration, especially stamina, which is probably most preferred for them, because they want to be quicker in dazzling their moves to score and they have been consistent to take everyone on notice” said Sumika.

“Oh, that’s very interesting! I never knew that there’s a badminton team existed in our school because my older brother Naruhiko said that they have been doubters when they were new to badminton in their first year, but until they finally showed up in the recent competitions, especially last year when they made it to the knockout tournament of the prefectural badminton tournament after surviving in the eliminations. Right now, they’re very serious about their current season due to the welcoming of their new members and hopefully, they’ll be vying a spot for the Nationals this year” said Naoko.

“I see! I’m so excited about them preparing for their new season this year and I can’t wait to see how they’re going to prepare themselves in trying to keep their dominance just like last year. Maybe, it will be awesome to watch those, so that we’ll be thrilled to see them shine for sure” said Sumika.

“Yeah, of course! It’s going to be nice for all of us to watch out for the badminton team in our school and hopefully, they’ll make themselves earned in making themselves to the Nationals if they’re good and consistent in taking care of their opponents like they used to be. We’re going to be more thrilled to see all of those before our very eyes” said Naoko.

“Yeah, I agree with that!” said Sumika.

“Anyway, it looks like it’s already 2:15 in the afternoon and we still have 45 minutes left before we leave this place” said Naoko.

“Oh, okay. I don’t know what to do for the remaining time in our stay in the badminton center because me and my fellow classmates have already learned the moves, but I wouldn’t mind if we can organize a doubles match, so that we’ll make it more fun to finish it off” said Sumika.

“Hey, that’s a great idea! We can play together against any of our fellow classmates, so that it will be awesome to cap this session for sure” said Naoko.

“Yeah, Naoko-san! Let’s gather everyone to call for the last activity right here” said Sumika.

“Okay, you got it!” said Naoko before shouting at everyone through her commanding voice. “Everyone! Gather up right here!” The members of Team Blue and Yellow and the classmates of Naoko would run together to gather alongside Naoko and Sumika where Naoko will about to speak to them.

“Why are we gathering right here?” asked Toshinori.

“Yeah, what is it?” added Kiriko.

Naoko would start speaking to her friends as she’s explaining about what to do to finish their session. “Now, we only have 45 minutes left to finish this session and there’s one thing that we’re going to do, so that we’ll be leaving this place in a jiffy.”

“What’s going to be?” asked Shinobu.

“We will have an exhibition doubles match between the pair of me and Naoko and another pair that we’re about to pick” said Sumika.

“Oh, that’s very interesting! I’m so surprised that this one will be a great way to finish this session altogether!” said Toshinori.

“Yeah! After the training that you have given us, we’ll be seeing us getting into the real game for ourselves” said Kiriko.

“I have to say that it’s going to be more of a good challenge for us because we want to be more thrilled to play a game of badminton like you guys used to” said Shinobu.

“We’ll be very fantastic to make this match happen as it’s going to be more of testing for a first blood on us” said Kyōko.

“Hopefully, this match will be great to watch because we want to be part of that one for ourselves” said Fuyuki.

“That way, it will be amazing all of us to prove that we’re here to run the place” said Natsuko.

“And show some firepower to get it done like we have learned those from earlier” said Mamoru.

“It’s going to be awesome to take part of it because we’ll be indulged to have some fun for sure!” said Rika.

“Yes, indeed, guys! So, we’ll be picking our opponents while the rest will be assigned in different positions. For my preferred opponent, I’m going with Kyōko” said Naoko.

“And as for me, I’m taking Kiriko to our challenge” said Kiriko.

“Well, it’s about time that we’re going to square off against each other, Sumika-san” said Naoko.

“Yeah, this is going to be a fun match that we will never miss!” said Kyōko.

“You’re right about that, Kyōko-san! This exhibition match will be determined on who will be getting the upper hand between you guys and us” said Naoko.

“So, you better get ready to have your rackets firing up because we’ll be having a challenge for all of us” said Sumika.

“Yeah!” said Kiriko.

“You bet!” said Kyōko.

However, the boys wanted to play some game for themselves as they’re feeling not happy about having an all-girls doubles match.

“But we want to have a game too” said Toshinori.

“Yeah, we want to show our moves to fire up with” said Shinobu.

“It will be awesome to have an all-boys doubles match to make it more fun to play with” said Fuyuki.

“That way, everyone will be witnessing us doing the moves just like you girls did” said Mamoru.

“Should we have that as well, Naoko?” asked Daisuke.

“You think that it’s gonna work?” added Tsutomu.

“Okay, then, if you insist. I will allow that to happen” said Naoko.

“You can have your match too!” said Sumika.

Toshinori, Shinobu, Fuyuki and Mamoru would be very happy to have their request being fulfilled. “Alright!”

“You better prepare your rackets set up because you guys will have a match against each other” said Daisuke.

“It will be great that you’re all fired up and ready to go!” said Tsutomu.

“Hopefully, this will be getting intense with all of you ready to show your moves to impress us” said Kyōsuke.

“That way, you’ll be thrilled enough to have your blessings in your hands to have some motivation to earn with” said Tarō.

“Yeah, we will!” said Toshinori, Shinobu, Fuyuki and Mamoru.

“Then, let’s prepare these anticipated matches being set before it strikes 3!” said Naoko.

“Okay!” said the members of Team Blue and Yellow and the classmates of Naoko as they will be temporarily part ways for the two matches where the girls will stay on Court #1 for the all-girls match while the boys will be going to Court #2 for the all-boys doubles match.

The girls of Team Blue and Yellow as well as Atsuko and Rika are watching Naoko, Sumika, Kiriko and Kyōko preparing themselves for their game. Haruyo, Hirono, Miori and Kanae are the officials of the exhibition match for the girls.

“I’m so surprised that Naoko is going to team up with Sumika in an exhibition match against her classmates!” said Kazumi.

“Sumika had been very confident that she had taught her moves from Naoko and now, she’s trying to prove herself that she’s dazzling her way to score” said Saori.

“I would be more surprised that those two have to work together if they want to win this match” said Asumi.

“Yeah, that’s right, girls! Sumika hadn’t played a game of badminton for a long time, but she was very confident that she’s ready to draw first blood in her first match” said Atsuko.

“We were surprised to see her doing the serve earlier because she’s very thrilled to make that move, but I hope that she’s gonna looked good when she’s about to take her talents against both Kiriko and Kyōko in this match” said Rika.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Asumi, Saori and Kazumi.

“Well, I have to say that Naoko and Sumika are a good pair, but I believe that they’ll stand their way to make sure that they’re going to take care of business to defeat their opponents” said Asumi.

“Hopefully, they’ll work together to win this match, so that it will be good enough for them to make their teamwork being paid off” said Saori.

“Yeah, it would be amazing that they’re going to get their teamwork more efficient as soon as they’ll do their moves together” said Kazumi.

“I hope so, but we’ll see how they’ll work it out” said Atsuko.

“And we’ll be ready to see some action out here” said Rika.

“Yeah!” said Asumi, Saori and Kazumi.

Kanae would announce the exhibition match to begin. “The match between the pair of Naoko and Sumika and the pair of Kiriko and Kyōko will about to begin. This match will be just one set to play and it will last when one of the pairs scores 21 points to win. Are you guys agree?”

“Yeah, we agree!” said Naoko, Sumika, Kiriko and Kyōko.

“Because the session will last until 3:00 in the afternoon, we will try our best to finish this as soon as either one of the pairs will have better transition to score dominantly” said Hirono.

“However, I asked big sister to ask an extension, which she agreed to it, but not only for that, she’ll be watching the match as well” said Miori.

“So, are you ready to play a game of badminton?” said Haruyo.

“Yeah!” said Naoko, Sumika, Kiriko and Kyōko.

“Then, may the best pair win!” said Haruyo.

“Okay!” said Naoko, Sumika, Kiriko and Kyōko.

“Before we’ll start, we’ll be doing a coin toss to see who will go first” said Kanae as she uses a Japanese coin to determine who will play first. “Heads for Naoko and Sumika and tails for Kiriko and Kyōko.” Kanae would toss the coin before catching it in two hands before revealing the outcome.

Naoko, Sumika, Kiriko and Kyōko would look closer to the coin as it was revealed to be heads, which means that Naoko and Sumika will serve first.

“It’s heads” said Naoko.

“That means we’ll go first” said Sumika.

“Yep! You girls go first to serve” said Kanae.

“Okay!” said Naoko and Sumika while Kanae gives Naoko the shuttlecock.

“Now, let the match begin!” said Kanae.

Naoko would serve the shuttlecock to start the game before Kiriko smashes it with her racket to go for the first service. Sumika would fight it back, sending the shuttlecock flying to the other side of the court, which allows Kyōko to respond it back with an overhead shot. They would continue to do their moves until Kyōko goes for the overhead shot that sends the shuttlecock to the other court before Naoko performs the drive shot to return it back to Kiriko’s side. Kiriko tries to fight it back, but she misses it, thus Naoko and Sumika scores their first point in the match.

“And there you go! Naoko grabs the first point of the match!” said Hirono.

“That smash shot was so good!” said Miori.

“It goes faster when she made that move at all” said Kanae.

“Yep! She’s way too good with her speed being paid off” said Haruyo.

“Yeah!” said Miori and Kanae.

“Wow! I like your smash shot, Naoko-san! Maybe, I can use that if I want to find an opening to score” said Sumika.

“Yes, you can, Sumika-san. You have to be smart enough if you want to do the drive shot like I said about that earlier. You should be very stiff when you’re going to use that shot because it will benefit you to score a point” said Naoko.

“Ah, okay. I get it now” said Sumika.

“Now, you have to make sure that you’re in a good position to use that technique, so that you’ll have the time to take a point for sure” said Naoko while smashing the shuttlecock with her racket to resume playing.

“Yeah, of course!” said Sumika before looking at the shuttlecock that is about to reach onto her. “I’ll take care of this!” She uses the overhead shot to fight it back, thus the shuttlecock goes to the other side of the court.

Kyōko uses the drive shot to send the shuttlecock going back to the other side of the court. Naoko responds it back with her own drive shot before Kiriko would to the same thing. Sumika would do the drive shot to send the shuttlecock going back to the other side of the court. Kyōko would smash the shuttlecock with her racket, but it sends flying to the out of bounds, thus Naoko and Sumika score another point.

“Alright! Looks like we’re on the move!” said Sumika.

“Yes, indeed, Sumika-san! I knew that you can do it!” said Naoko.

“Yeah! I’m gonna be more thrilled to play this game if I want to keep this up!” said Sumika.

“It sure is! Now, we have to work together if we can win this match” said Naoko.

“Okay, you got it!” said Sumika.

The montage would show Naoko and Sumika doing their way to work together in trying to defeat the pair of Kiriko and Kyōko. Naoko would perform the drive shot with her speed to send the shuttlecock flying to the other side of the court where Kiriko misses it. Then, Sumika would do the same thing to make sure that she’s not missing it for herself, which she did well. Then, Naoko and Sumika would also use their defense with block shots all the way. One time, when Kiriko performs the smash shot, Sumika blocks it with her racket quickly before Kyōko responds it back in the same way. Then, Naoko blocks it with her racket to make sure that the shuttlecock will send flying to the other side of the court. Kiriko would respond it with another smash shot, but Sumika would block it once again, sending the shuttlecock flying back to the other side of the court. Kyōko tries to fight it back, but she makes her mistake when she sends the shuttlecock flying to the out of bounds, which means that Naoko and Sumika score another point.

“Oh, my goodness! Both Naoko and Sumika have been doing great to use their moves like they dazzle themselves!” said Asumi.

“I’m so surprised that they have worked it out to make themselves dominant in this game” said Saori.

“It seems that they’re taking control of this game because they have been smart to rally themselves” said Kazumi.

“They have found themselves into their own column to maintain their lead” said Aki.

“Yeah, we agree with that, girls!” said Atsuko and Rika.

“We’re very fascinated that Sumika had been doing great to use her moves, so that she can rally her way to score points for her and Naoko” said Atsuko.

“This is the first time that I have ever seen them working together to take control of the match” said Rika.

“Yeah, of course!” said Asumi, Saori, Kazumi and Aki.

“Now all they have to do is to win the match by making it to 21 points” said Asumi.

“If they want to maintain the lead until the very end” said Saori.

“They need to keep synchronizing with their moves because they have been very dominant to take care of their opponents” said Kazumi.

“It will be amazing that they’ll get it done for sure” said Aki.

“Yeah, you’re right about that!” said Atsuko.

“They’ll definitely gonna be great to win this match as soon as they’ll defend their court for themselves” said Rika.

“Yeah!” said Asumi, Saori, Kazumi and Aki.

The match continues as it reaches 2:50 in the afternoon with only 10 minutes left to end the session with the score now 16-10 in favor of the pair of Naoko and Sumika. The pair of Naoko and Sumika would do the combination move where Naoko does the drive shot while Sumika uses the overhead shot to get themselves in transition to score more points. On the other hand, the pair of Kiriko and Kyōko are not giving up as they wanted to run it back by using their own shots to respond quickly and score points.

When the score is now 19-13, it would be Kyōko taking her turn to serve as Kiriko was able to find the opening to smash the shuttlecock to the back of Naoko’s space.

“The two of us aren’t done yet! We still have to fight it back until we’re gonna catch you up again!” said Kyōko.

“You’re going to be sorry once we’re taking care of this for ourselves” said Kiriko.

“Oh, yeah, we’ll see about that!” said Naoko.

“We’ll be fighting back with our own combination moves to shine with!” said Sumika.

“Okay, then… bring it on!” said Kyōko.

“You better not disappoint us!” said Kiriko.

“Yeah!” said Naoko and Sumika.

Kyōko would smash the shuttlecock with her racket as it’s her turn to defend her court.

Sumika shouts at Naoko as she tries to make her move. “Now!”

Naoko would smash the shuttlecock with the drive shot to fight it back before Kiriko performs the drive shot of her own to sends it flying back to the other side of the court.

“Take this!” said Sumika as she performs the overhead shot to bring the shuttlecock going to the other side of the court.

“I’m not done yet!” said Kyōko as she was able to fight it back with her smash shot.

“Oh no, you don’t!” said Naoko as she smashes the shuttlecock with her drive shot that sends it flying to the other side of the court. Kiriko tries to respond it back, but she sends it to the net, thus Naoko and Sumika are getting their 20th point.

“Oh, yeah!” said Asumi.

“They’re almost there in finishing this game out!” said Saori.

“Alright, one more point left for them and it’s all they wrote!” said Atsuko.

“You can do it, Naoko-san and Sumika-san!” said Rika.

“You better not disappoint us!” said Kazumi.

“Just take them out one more time!” said Aki.

“Okay, we got it!” said Naoko and Sumika.

“I guess that it’s about time that we’re going to finish this game once and for all to beat that clock” said Naoko.

“You betcha!” said Sumika.

Haruyo would give the shuttlecock to Naoko while Kanae shouts at everyone, “Match point!”

“Okay, let’s make it happen, Naoko-san!” said Sumika.

“Yeah, of course!” said Naoko while releasing the shuttlecock with her service shot from her racket to sends it flying through normal speed.

“I’ll take this!” said Kiriko as she fights it back with the back shot to sends the shuttlecock flying to the other side of the court.

“Here goes nothing!” said Sumika as she was able to use the drive shot as a response on Kiriko’s move.

“Take that!” said Kyōko as she uses the overhead shot to fight it back from the last move by Sumika.

“This is it!” said Asumi.

“They’re finally getting pumped up with their moves” said Saori.

“I have to say that they’re going to put up a good show and make that match more intense right here” said Kazumi.

“They know that it’s their time to unleash their auras to take their shots right away” said Yukari.

“Naoko and Sumika have been very dominant to control almost the entire game” said Aki.

“It means that they’re going to get it done to make sure that they’re gonna walk away with the win” said Atsuko.

“It will be amazing that they’re gonna prove themselves to dominate the entire game if they’ll be able to take the match point” said Rika.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Asumi, Saori, Kazumi, Yukari and Aki.

Kyōko would smash the shuttlecock with her drive shot as she sends it flying to the other side of the court, but Naoko responses it back with her own drive shot. Kiriko takes the drive shot quickly, which means the shuttlecock is about to enter on to Sumika’s side.

“I’m going for it!” said Sumika as she performs the smash shot to send the shuttlecock going to the other side of the court with her angle. Kyōko tries to get it back, but the shuttlecock lands to the outside, thus Naoko and Sumika get the match point to win the match.

“And that’s a wrap, girls!” said Haruyo.

“The pair of Naoko and Sumika wins the match!” said Kanae.

“Way to go, you two!” said Asumi.

“You two are so awesome!” said Saori.

“Nice win, Naoko-san and Sumika-san!” said Atsuko.

“We’re so proud of you!” said Rika.

“Thanks, girls!” said Naoko and Sumika.

“We’re very good in taking care of business because we’re good enough to dominate this game all by ourselves” said Naoko.

“Our auras have been glowing when we’re doing our moves and we have worked it out until the end” said Sumika.

“Yeah!” said the girls of Team Blue and Yellow, Atsuko and Rika.

Kiriko and Kyōko would appear to congratulate Naoko and Sumika. Kiriko would go first to react on Naoko and Sumika’s victory. “Great game, you two!”

“You two are doing great to beat us!” said Kyōko.

“Yeah, it’s a pleasure to show some sportsmanship between the two of us” said Naoko.

“Nice game as well for the two of you!” said Sumika.

“Thanks, girls!” said Kiriko and Kyōko.

Later, the boys of Team Blue and Yellow and the male classmates of Naoko would arrive to speak with the girls.

“Girls, our game is done with Toshinori and Shinobu defeating Fuyuki and Mamoru” said Daisuke.

“Yeah, the score is 21-16” said Tsutomu.

“Those guys have been dazzling with their moves as they have been able to learn those moves all by themselves” said Yoshinori.

“That’s why they have been so much playing badminton to make themselves comfortable” said Akitsugu.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Toshinori, Shinobu, Fuyuki and Mamoru.

“Our match was very thrilling with the four of us have been doing great to put up a good show” said Toshinori.

“Where the boys have been amazed to see us performing like a real game” said Shinobu.

“It’s so nice that we have performed our moves to make sure that we have shined our way through our auras” said Fuyuki.

“It was a good game for all of us, which means that we’re so happy that we have played together through our smiles” said Mamoru.

“Oh, that’s very nice, boys! I’m so surprised that you have dazzled your way to show your moves like it’s all sparkling with fireworks coming around to bloom!” said Naoko.

“Yes, we are!” said Toshinori, Shinobu, Fuyuki and Mamoru.

“It feels so awesome that we have played badminton to make us feel comfortable in our bodies, so that we’ll do our best to take control of the game for ourselves. It’s nice that we have been dazzling to make sure that we’re on the move and hopefully, we’ll be ready to run the place with our moves to dazzle and shine” said Sumika.

“You’re right about that, Sumika-san! Since we’re all badminton players whether you’re just a beginner or not, it’s important for all of us to work on our moves if we want to dazzle and shine because we want to be more blooming to score, so that we can take care of business to dominate the game. It’s important that you have your heart to remember with when you’re playing badminton because that’s the part where you will be able to have a fair badminton game with your opponents. Are you all guys understand about this?”

“Yes, we understand!” said the members of Team Blue and Yellow and the classmates of Naoko.

“Hopefully, when the next tournament coming up, we should be ready to step up and shine together because we’re all here to make ourselves sparkling and booming for sure!” said Naoko.

“Yeah!” said the members of Team Blue and Yellow and the classmates of Naoko.

Minako would appear to meet with the members of Team Blue and Yellow and the classmates of Naoko as she calls them out. “Guys, we’re closing now. We should be going outside, so that we’re going to plan on what’s next as the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week continues.

“Okay, we got it, Minako-san!” said Naoko while giving Minako a ‘ok’ hand signal before speaking with her friends. “Now, let’s leave this place and take some relaxing break outside!”

“Yeah!” said the members of Team Blue and Yellow and the classmates of Naoko as they alongside Naoko are leaving the badminton room, so that Minako will close that place early due to the upcoming match at the Recreational Center between the Blue Verdant Fukuoka and the Rutile Phoenix. Naoko and her friends have been so much fun playing badminton as they have been able to make their fun more exciting and more interesting to make sure that their happiness will be growing like the way that used to be. It feels great for Naoko and her friends as they always come out not to miss any fun activities that they because they’ll show their smiles while enjoying themselves throughout the day, which means that they’re always thrilled to make their day more booming and more sparkling.

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 113: “The Encounter Between the Two Colors of Compassion”

Naoko and her friends have enjoyed their day in showing their badminton skills, so that they’ll be able to prove themselves that they’re going to shine their way through their auras. It’s great that they have showed their energy and thrill when they’re stepping up to play badminton because not only that they have worked hard in learning those moves, but they’re dazzling themselves like the way they used to be. It’s amazing that they have been able to shine themselves as the members of Team Blue and Yellow have shown their energy and thrill when it comes to physical activities, which means that they’ll do whatever they want for along as they’re ready to sparkle themselves. This would do the same thing for Naoko’s other classmates in class section 1-D as they have been able to work themselves in showing their badminton skills to impress Naoko, which she felt satisfied with it. I hope that they’re going to prepare themselves in having a badminton clash very soon once they’re all good to go with their energy and thrill to make themselves more exciting to watch out for!;) I had previously posted a badminton-related update back in 2019 when it was focused on the Takenaka twins (Tsubaki and Hiiragi) and their friends from the Foul Play Crew and now, this update came out with something different because I want the members of Team Blue and Yellow to have some fun while the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week is ongoing. As a result, I decided to make this update to see how Naoko and her friends showing their badminton skills, so that they’ll shine themselves to be good in that sport just like how they have done that in basketball before back in Volume 3. Hopefully, I’ll be thrilled to do another badminton-related update, so that I’ll make more thrills to make this sport more booming and more sparkling when it comes to individual sports.:) The next update will be focused on Ryōsuke Sugimura, the cousin of Saki Nagatsuka, and his friends from his group Crimson7 as they’re going to meet up with the classmates of Ryōsuke in the House of Crimson where Ryōsuke and his fellow bandmates are going to share about Ryōsuke’s moments and secrets when he had started his music career and how he made his group rising themselves in the Ishikawadai Middle School.

SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES
CHAPTER 113: “THE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN THE TWO COLORS OF COMPASSION

Date: May 8, 2010 (Saturday)

This side story is focused on Ryōsuke Sugimura as he and his friends from his group Crimson7 are meeting with their fellow classmates at the central park in the Misawa Resort Hotel.

Ryōsuke Sugimura and his friends from his group Crimson7 are staying at their booth known as the House of Crimson where they are selling necklaces and bracelets that are sold in a higher price.

Crimson7: Ryōsuke Sugimura, Takashi Yoshikawa, Hidenori Takayama, Chihiro Matsui, Runo Wakai, Tomokazu Kameda and Kenji Suzumoto

“How’s the business doing, brother? Are the customers bought your goods?” asked Hokuto Sugimura, a third year high school student from the Kamata High School and the older brother of Ryōsuke Sugimura.

“Yeah, brother. They love to buy those for a cheaper price. My uncle used to bring those for me to sell those for good profit. Maybe, I can use those to expand our own studio at our home” said Ryōsuke Sugimura, the leader and vocalist of Crimson7.

“Well, I would be happy to have that because I believe that you and your fellow friends out here need to shine like the way it used to. That’s why Tomoe Udagawa told me about this. She said that if you can invest yourself, you will make yourself earned. That’s the reason why she contributed for Afterglow where she was able to admire her fans like the way she was” said Hokuto.

“Oh, yeah, I remember that advice. Well, I would be honest that there are a lot of people wanted to shine by showing their aura to get it done if you want to make them comfortable” said Ryōsuke.

“We used to perform song to make our fans getting comfortable to see us shining our way” said Takashi Yoshikawa, a member of Crimson7.

“Because we want to be like Afterglow, so that we want to be devoted to make our careers growing” said Hidenori Takayama, a member of Crimson7.

“Like the stars shining bright above us” said Chihiro Matsui, a member of Crimson7.

“That’s why we will be ready to work together through our voices” said Runo Wakai, a member of Crismon7.

“So that, we’ll be able to make us famous for everyone in our hometown to bless and inspire us” said Tomokazu Kameda, a member of Crimson7.

“We’re a very young group of boys who wanted to respect everyone with pride and hopefully, we’re greatly confident enough to make us feel good” said Kenji Suzumoto, a member of Crimson7.

“Yeah, I agree with that! I hope that you guys making some progress with your business until the end because after the Fuchsia and Celadon Weel, you’ll have to contemplate on what’s next in your run as a boy group” said Hokuto.

“Of course, we are!” said the members of Crimson7.

“We’ll be more prospered to make our careers growing to make sure that we’re all good to go to bless everyone in our community for sure” said Ryōsuke.

“Yeah, you got that right, brother!” said Hokuto before gleaming to see more customers coming to the House of Crimson. “Now, let’s get this thing going, boys!”

“Yeah!” said the members of Crimson7 as they are starting to chat with the guests by asking them on what they’re buying.

Meanwhile, the classmates of Ryōsuke Sugimura have appeared at the entrance of the booth section where they’re trying to look for Ryōsuke. They’re all third year middle school students from the Ishikawadai Middle School.

Classmates of Ryōsuke Sugimura: Wakana Enoki, Seiya Sumida, Rika Kamiyama, Manabu Ishikawa, Yōko Kajitani, Toshiya Kohinata, Akiko Maeyama, Tsuneharu Yasuoka, Asahi Hayashi and Eisaku Masaoka

“Here it is, guys! This is the booth for the students from Kamata and its neighboring areas” said Wakana Enoki.

“Yep! There are a lot of people staying there to look and buy some stuff” said Seiya Sumida.

“It would be amazing that we will buy some good stuff to keep with, so that we can treasure those” said Rika Kamiyama.

“Yeah! I have to say that we’re going to look for our classmate Ryōsuke, who had been busy buying some precious accessories” said Wakana.

“Of course, we do, Wakana-chan!” said the classmates of Ryōsuke.

“Now, where is that booth?” asked Asahi Hayashi, the cousin of Tomoe Udagawa, a member of Afterglow from BanG Dream!, through Tomoe’s maternal clan, the Hayashi clan.

“Yeah, I had been wondering the same thing” said Eisaku Masaoka.

Manabu Ishikawa points at the sign of the House of Crimson where Ryōsuke and the members of Crimson7 have stayed there. “Maybe, it’s over there.”

“Great thinking, Manabu-san!” said Asahi.

“I knew that we have seen that sign because it’s all crimson on that booth” said Eisaku.

“Yes, indeed, Eisaku-san! Ryōsuke told me that he had run a booth for his loyal fans to buy some accessories that are more golden and more precious” said Wakana.

“They have been charismatic when it comes to selling those, so that they will get some money to use for future activities” said Seiya.

“I wonder what they’re going to use that money” said Yōko Kajitani.

“Uh… he said that he’ll be planning to use those for their upcoming concert, I believe” said Rika.

“Or he will plan something different like a fan convention or an upgrade” said Manabu.

“I don’t know what they’re planning for that, but they said that they’re going to wait until they’ll finally have a plan to go with” said Asahi.

“So, for now, they have to keep their money to treasure with, so that they’re going to plan something big one day” said Eisaku.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the classmates of Ryōsuke.

“I’m so glad that their performance yesterday was off the charts!” said Toshiya Kohinata.

“With a lot of people have been praising them with their voices and rhythm” said Akiko Maeyama.

“I’m sure that they’re going to be ready to perform another one, probably later tonight” said Tsuneharu Yasuoka.

“Definitely gonna happen if they’re ready to shine again like they did yesterday” said Wakana.

“They’re so brave enough to make themselves comfortable in bringing their blessings to everyone” said Seiya.

“So that, they’ll be able to work hard in impressing and admiring their fans for sure!” said Rika.

“Yeah!” said the classmates of Ryōsuke.

“Now, let’s visit Ryōsuke at his booth right away!” said Wakana.

“Okay!” said the classmates of Ryōsuke as they alongside Wakana are happily going to the booth of House of Crimson.

Ryōsuke would be waving his hands to say goodbye to the guests. “Thank you! Come again!”

“Hi, Ryōsuke-san!” said Wakana while the other classmates of Ryōsuke are waving their hands to say ‘hi’ to him.

“Oh, hi, Wakana-san! I’m glad that you’re here!” said Ryōsuke.

“Yep! I had some treat for you!” said Wakana while giving Ryōsuke a paper bag with food on it. “Here you go!”

“Oh, thank you, Wakana-san!” said Ryōsuke before opening the paper bag, which contains a roasted chicken hamburger. “Wow! I like this!”

“Yep! It’s your favorite roasted chicken hamburger that I bought from the Gateway Corner in Suzuran Shopping Street. We did some lunch at that place and I would want to save that food just for you!” said Wakana.

“Well, I’m fine with that, but this one is so delicious!” said Ryōsuke.

“Yep! I hope that you’ll be motivated to have your great day with your fellow band members out there because you’re very comfortable right now with a lot of guests have admired you” said Wakana.

“Your accessories are so cool that we would love to get those as treasures” said Seiya.

“That way, we’ll be able to use those to inspire you” said Rika.

“You’re right about that! It costs about 300 to 600 yen without any charge. So, feel free to buy any of those” said Ryōsuke.

“Okay!” said the classmates of Ryōsuke as they start looking to buy the accessories.

A few minutes later, the classmates of Ryōsuke would pay their money to Ryōsuke. Ryōsuke would give his classmates a smile while thanking them. “Thank you for purchasing some accessories!”

“You’re welcome!” said the classmates of Ryōsuke.

“You know, Ryōsuke-san, I would be happy if you can tell some stories about your favorite moments as a singer” said Wakana.

“Yeah, we wanna know about this!” said Seiya.

“Me too! I want to explore about your moments out there!” said Rika.

“That way, we’ll be happy to indulge you!” said Manabu.

“Okay, then, let’s talk inside the booth!” said Ryōsuke.

“Okay!” said the classmates of Ryōsuke as they would be able to enter the booth while Hokuto, Tomokazu and Kenji would be taking charge of the booth for an hour.

“Now, tell us about your favorite moments!” said Wakana.

“It will be awesome that you’ll talk about anything that is prospered for you” said Seiya.

“Yeah, make us indulged with your moments out there!” said Rika.

“So that, we’ll be more prospered enough to make us closer with you” said Manabu.

“Well, be my guests, guys” said Ryōsuke as he’s going to share about the introduction to his favorite moments as a singer. “When I was first time entering Ishikawadai, I started to make friends in my class where the seven of us, composed of me, Takashi, Hidenori, Chihiro, Runo, Tomokazu and Kenji, have known with each other where we started to talk and laugh like we used to.”

“Then, we finally became friends altogether where our brotherhood had been created” said Takashi.

“It feels great that we have been together since our first day, which leads us working on our boy group that we have” said Hidenori.

“Where we were able to perform our songs together” said Chihiro.

“And we have been blessed by our loyal fans not only in our school, but in our community” said Runo.

Ryōsuke would finally talk about his first favorite moment as a singer. “Of course, my first favorite moment as a singer is when I had performed my first concert during the school festival. It was dated back two years ago where the student council had selected me and my boy group to perform in the culminating day of the school festival. This is the part where I encouraged the students from Ishikawadai to stand up and sing with us. It was the first time that I had been admired by them because they wanted to jam with us, so that they’ll feel better to show their voices while singing with us. The first concert was considered a great show that me and my fellow groupmates became courageous that we have worked hard as we started to shine our way like it’s our first time to perform through our courage. I will never forget that one because it’s so awesome!”

“Yeah, I agree with that, Ryōsuke-kun! I have seen you and your fellow groupmates have performed all the way to shine your fans” said Wakana.

“We were so surprised that you got that spot to perform in front of us during the closing event of the school festival” said Seiya.

“It’s so great we have been delighted to see you performing your songs to make us feel comfortable through your beat” said Rika.

“We’re very thrilled with that, of course!” said Manabu.

“Most of us have been uplifted that you have done it all to make your fans getting bloomed their way” said Yōko.

“Which means that you guys have been recognized for the first time” said Toshiya.

“Yes, we are!” said Ryōsuke, Takashi, Hidenori, Chihiro and Runo.

“It was so nice that we have been earned to perform in front of our schoolmates in Ishikawadai because we want to shine our way to show that we’re good in blessing everyone” said Takashi.

“Our determination had been paid off, so that we will be able to make ourselves comfortable to have our careers skyrocket to the top” said Hidenori.

“Even though we’re still a young boy group, we want to be more charismatic to show our innocence as we will be ready to do our best in shining our community” said Chihiro.

“Everyone in our hometown knows that we wanted to have our careers successful by performing together like the way we used to be” said Runo.

“It was so great that we have worked hard all the time that we’ll be more prestigious to prove that we’re rocking this place for everyone” said Ryōsuke.

“Yeah, we agree!” said the classmates of Ryōsuke.

“So, back when you guys have performed the first time, did you find some thrills to make yourself shining?” asked Akiko.

“Well, of course, we have!” said Ryōsuke.

“Yeah!” said Takashi, Hidenori, Chihiro and Runo.

“At first, we were very shy while trying to perform our first act right in front of the crowd” said Takashi.

“But thankfully, Ryōsuke had been able to get out of that way by performing his first act, which was 「Dance in the Night」, a song from Meiji Tokyo Tenka” said Hidenori. The song 「Dance in the Night」 is performed by KENN and is used as the theme song for the movie Meiji Tokyo Tenka Part 1.

“Then, we performed our next act, which was 「Sakura Message 」, a song from IDOLiSH7” said Chihiro. The song 「Sakura Message 」 is performed by IDOLiSH7, composed of Toshiki Masuda, Yusuke Shirai, Tsubasa Yonaga, KENN, Atsushi Abe, Takuya Eguchi and Kenshō Ono.

“After that, we perform our third and final song, which was 「Renegades」, which was performed by ONE OK ROCK. Ryōsuke said that it’s more of a fight song because we want all of us to be determined and vigilant to make sure that we’ll show some innocence for them to motivate themselves” said Runo.

“Our first concert was so memorable that we started our own career together, which leads to us starting to make cover songs one way to another, especially that we want to focus on rock and metal songs” said Ryōsuke.

“Oh, we remember those performances, Ryōsuke-kun!” said Wakana.

“Yeah, you guys are amazing in performing those songs like that!” said Seiya.

“We’re so inspired that you guys have performed well” said Rika.

“It became prospered to let everyone being blessed for the first time” said Manabu.

“Which means that it became so good that you have your performance being paid off big time!” said Yōko.

“You have been doing great to get it done all along and so, you’re very bright like superstars in the future” said Toshiya.

“Yeah, you’re right about that!” said Ryōsuke, Takashi, Hidenori, Chihiro and Runo.

“You guys have also been delighted when you saw us performing and so, it’s very awesome that you have been part of it because you’re all my classmates. Right, guys?” said Ryōsuke.

“Yes, we are!” said the classmates of Ryōsuke.

“That’s the part that we began our career to the spotlight by performing cover songs and acts with other young singers out there” said Ryōsuke.

“Then, this comes to the second favorite moment of Ryōsuke where last summer, he took his first solo concert during the summer camp in our school. He wanted to indulge himself to please his fans as he began performing solo songs to cherish his fans” said Takashi.

“That’s right, Takashi-kun! I had been thinking about a solo concert because I wanted to express my own way to perform songs through my own voice and I’m very confident that I can do this all by yourself” said Ryōsuke.

“Well, we remembered that day when you’re stepping up in your first solo concert” said Wakana.

“That’s when you’re showing your own voice to sing and make us impressed” said Seiya.

“We’re so excited at the start when we wanted to see you performing your own songs to cherish with” said Rika.

“Then, we’re very delighted that you finally come up to make us proud” said Manabu.

“Yeah, that’s true, guys! I wanted to be more confident in singing solo songs, so that I want to give my fans some courage to see me shine. It’s very fantastic that I have been doing this because I want to take the challenge in trying to impress everyone who wanted to be like me and they’re so motivated that they want to shine for more” said Ryōsuke.

“I have to say that you’re a good singer, Ryōsuke-san!” said Yōko.

“You’re very determined to have your career getting developed” said Toshiya.

“Not only that you had a boy group to step up” said Akiko.

“But you finally have your own recognition to let everyone know your name” said Tsuneharu.

“We’re so happy that you have been dazzling your career like the way young guns have used to shine for themselves” said Asahi.

“You’re very confident to get yourself earned and we’re very happy to see you working on your way to the spotlight as always” said Eisaku.

“Yes, indeed!” said Ryōsuke.

“What did your lesson when you’re having a solo career?” asked Asahi.

“I have to keep my confidence through my heart, so that I will dazzle my way to shine and I want to be more delighted to have fans continuing to inspire me at all. Hopefully, I will keep it up to make my music career getting brighter as it is” said Ryōsuke.

“That’s so marvelous to learn it for yourself, Ryōsuke-kun! My relative Tomoe had done the same thing when she had been shining her music career because she always been earned like the way she used to perform for her group Afterglow. I’m very proud of her when she did that in her performance with Afterglow and so, I became motivated to follow her career like she’s going to shine. You will be indulged just like her” said Asahi.

“Yeah, I agree with that, Asahi-san! I had always tried my best to dazzle my career because I want to show my determination in making myself determined and charismatic to make sure that I will sing through my voice. Of course, it’s been a while that I had begun performing new songs to make myself uplifted and pumped up” said Ryōsuke.

“That’s very nice to hear, Ryōsuke-kun! I hope that you will be able to keep up the good work if you want to be a great singer while representing your hometown” said Asahi.

“That way, you’ll be amazing that you’ll get earned whatever you want” said Eisaku.

“Yeah, of course! I’m gonna do it in my way to shine!” said Ryōsuke.

“Yeah!” said Asahi and Eisaku.

“Well, speaking of which, you had another favorite moment that you’re going to talk about that is almost romantic” said Akiko.

“You said that you had a ‘crush’ on Tomoe, aren’t you?” asked Tsuneharu.

Ryōsuke would be blushed when he heard about his desire of being a ‘crush’ of Tomoe. “Uh… it’s not what you think, Tsuneharu-kun. Tomoe and I were friends, that’s all.”

“Then, what moment that did you have when you’re hanging out with Tomoe?” added Tsuneharu.

“Alright, then” affirmed Ryōsuke as he’s going to share another of his favorite moment. “While summer break is ongoing, me and my fellow groupmates have stopped by to having a shopping spree in Shinjuku where I met Tomoe and her fellow band members from Afterglow.”

“WHAT?! You met her?!” shouted the classmates of Ryōsuke while Asahi is quiet because she’s a relative of Tomoe.

“Keep it down, guys!” said Takashi while asking the classmates of Ryōsuke to be quiet.

“You’re gonna hear it from the other guests out here!” said Hidenori.

“Oh, sorry about that” said Wakana, Seiya, Rika and Manabu while the rest of the classmates of Ryōsuke nod their heads without saying their own word.

“Why are you so quiet, Asahi-san?” asked Takashi.

“Oh, excuse me. I’m the cousin of Tomoe Udagawa and I have known all of this story” said Asahi.

“Ah, I get it now, Asahi-san. I guess that you’re very familiar with this” said Takashi.

“Which means that you’re confident about this then” said Hidenori.

“Yeah, of course!” said Asahi.

“Anyway, just continue saying about that” said Hidenori.

“We’re fine with this” said Takashi.

“Oh, okay” said Ryōsuke as he’ll continue explaining about his first encounter with Tomoe and her fellow band members from Afterglow. “When I met Tomoe, I asked her if she had bought something beautiful, which she said that she bought some costumes for her group’s upcoming performance. She had been very confident that she will be shining with her voice while representing her band because she’s very compassionate to her admired fans that she liked. After which, we went to a restaurant in Wasedachō where we ate our food together. Then, she asked me if I’m a singer, which I said that I’m indeed a singer, representing for the boy band. We shared some conversations including Tomoe’s way of life as a singer, which I was very fascinated to see those. Just then, she started to get interested on being close to me, although it’s different compared to how singers went on a relationship during their early 20s. This is the part where me and Tomoe have gotten along with each other for the first time while the others are on different routes. You all know that we have sported crimson hairs since birth and so, we became close enough to have a good relationship. The only problem for this is that I ended up getting in trouble when I tried to find the directions on her home, which she said that she had lived close by with her fellow bandmates. So, at the end of the day, we exchanged numbers before parting ways. It’s very important that I had been glamoured when I had met her and so, I will be more confident to meet at occasional time.”

“Wow! That story was so long that I was almost shocked that you’re in a relationship with her” said Wakana.

“Yeah, I believe that you had been compassionated that you had met a singer like her, which means that you had found some love out there” said Seiya.

“I’m so surprised that you finally had a friendship with her since she had been more determined to make progress of her music career” said Rika.

“You’re seemed to be confident when you’re hanging out with her, Ryōsuke-kun, because she’s very dazzling just like the other singers did their best in their careers” said Manabu.

“It would be amazing that you will be working out in a partnership with my cousin if you want to have a collaboration project that you’re going to plan with” said Asahi.

“Well, to be honest, we haven’t done that yet, Asahi-san, but she said to me that she’ll give it a try one day as soon as her fellow bandmates will agree on her plans one day” said Ryōsuke.

“Oh, that’s very promising, Ryōsuke-san. I hope that you will finally get a chance to perform with her because she’s really charismatic to perform with someone like you” said Asahi.

“Yeah, of course!” said Ryōsuke.

“By the way, since Afterglow is more on rock genre, you started to compose songs that are related to that one” said Yōko.

“Yep! Aside from performing boy band songs that are more J-pop than K-pop, me and my fellow bandmates made some rock songs, so that we would match with Afterglow’s way of composing songs” said Ryōsuke.

“We became very inspired that we have found a band that has the same characteristics as ours since they’re very determined in showing their smiles to their loyal fans” said Takashi.

“That’s why we were very fortunate to perform rock songs that we covered” said Hidenori.

“Including some borrowed songs from international artists” said Chihiro.

“From that day on, we became looked good in shining our careers because we’re very charismatic and prospered enough to show that we’re giving every fan some blessings that they will never miss” said Runo.

“And at the end of the day, we became expressive to make everyone feel delighted to see us shining our way and hopefully, they’ll continue to bless us in a heartbeat, so that we’ll be able to give them some blessings in return for sure” said Ryōsuke.

“Well, I’m very happy that you had your own heart to keep yourselves with when you’re performing in front of your fans because you guys have been an amazing job in dazzling yourselves with the beat” said Yōko.

“We’re always motivated to see you shining your careers because we want to be more confident to have your careers getting brighter” said Toshiya.

“And we’re very determined that we want to live harmoniously with your songs that you performed for us” said Akiko.

“It’s so nice that we became blessed and inspired that you gave us the music, which means that we’re very happy that you have done anything to bless and inspire everyone including us in our community” said Tsuneharu.

“Hopefully, you’ll continue to keep it up, so that you guys will be able to shine for more without hesitation” said Eisaku.

“Yeah, we agree!” said Ryōsuke, Takashi, Hidenori, Chihiro and Runo.

“I have to say that you guys should be ready to expect more fantastic things to come when you’re hoping to work on your next project” said Wakana.

“Because the next event will be the upcoming Summerfest Battle of the Young Bands Competition, which will take place this coming August” said Seiya.

“This will be your chance to perform big, so that you’ll be able to win some prizes that you’re gonna earn for yourselves” said Rika.

“It will be something that you want to dream with and it’s going to be amazing that you and your bandmates should be ready on this” said Manabu.

“I think that you guys start planning on this if you want to win that competition because it will be a challenge for you to get recognized in front of the entire community and I believe that you got this” said Asahi.

“Of course, we have! I’m always getting some bright ideas to take up, so that we’ll be able to perform together like we’re about to give the fans their inspiration to work up with. We’ll do our best if we want to make it to be the best in that competition. Right, guys?” said Ryōsuke.

“Yeah, we will!” said Takashi, Hidenori, Chihiro and Runo.

“Anyway, my final favorite moment as a singer is when we did a performance last winter during the family gathering of the Nagatsukas” said Ryōsuke.

“Oh! We remember that one, Ryōsuke-kun!” said Takashi.

“That’s where you gave us the hard work in performing a special song to your relatives” said Hidenori.

“Which is the song 「Dream on the street」, performed by DA PUMP” said Chihiro.

“We’re very thrilled to perform that song through our auras, so that we’ll be able to shine together with our smiles” said Runo.

“Yeah, you got that right, guys! Our Christmas performance was majorly a success because we have been dazzling enough to make my relatives feeling uplifted and joyful to see us shining like they have never seen before” said Ryōsuke.

“Of course, it is, Ryōsuke-kun! We worked hard with some practice a few days before the gathering and it’s so good!” said Takashi.

“It took a lot of efforts to perform that song and we’re looked grateful that we have worked it out all along” said Hidenori.

“We will never forget that moment because it’s all about your family that you have prospered ever since birth” said Chihiro.

“You’re being honored that they have groomed you to be the best singer that everyone in our hometown wants to see” said Runo.

“Yep! I had been doing great as a singer and I hope that I will be able to do my best in making my career successful for sure” said Ryōsuke.

“Yeah!” said Takashi, Hidenori, Chihiro and Runo.

“Wow! I didn’t know that you had a moment to make your relatives proud!” said Wakana.

“You have been dazzling with your performance, which was so good!” said Seiya.

“I’m so glad that your relatives have been motivated to see you shine when you’re performing in front of them” said Rika.

“It’s nice that you made them feel good with your voice and I’m going to say that your family will be greatly delighted to see your career getting skyrocket right now even you’re still young to perform” said Manabu,

“If you make them feel good with music, they’ll be happily get relaxed and enjoyed” said Asahi.

“Yeah, I agree with that, Asahi-san! I’m always grateful to do this, so that my family members will be delighted to see me performing like a superstar and I hope that I will be ready to dazzle myself in making my music career flourishing like the way it used to be” said Ryōsuke.

“Well, you’re looked good to perform your songs because you have been determined to make them proud” said Yōko.

“Which means that they’re here to bless and inspire you after all!” said Toshiya.

“It would be amazing that you have a great family that they wanted to groom you to shine ever since you had an ambition to become a singer” said Akiko.

“And now, you’re very confident that you have worked all the way, thanks to your progress of being a singer” said Tsuneharu.

“It’s fantastic that you had a magnificent career because of your hard work and I’m sure that you’ll be ready to shine for more” said Eisaku.

“Yeah, that’s true, guys. I’ll continue to make progress of my career, so that I will be able to make my way to shine as a singer and get earned with my blessings” said Ryōsuke.

“Yeah!” said the classmates of Ryōsuke.

“I hope that you’ll be ready to show your pride and willpower when you’re performing for your Crimson7” said Wakana.

“Because we want to see you shine for more like you have always used to” said Seiya.

“So that, you’ll be able to make your loyal fans feeling uplifted and delighted to believe in you” said Asahi.

“Yes, I will!” said Ryōsuke while giving his classmates an affirming smile.

Just then, Hokuto shouts at Ryōsuke if the latter is done with the conversation as the former is getting exhausted from selling accessories to the guests. “Brother! Are you done with the conversation?”

“Yeah, we just finished our conversation, Hokuto-san!” said Ryōsuke.

“Well, get in here and do your job!” said Hokuto.

“Okay!” said Ryōsuke before speaking to his fellow bandmates and friends. “Guys, let’s go back to the stand to continue selling accessories.”

“Sure!” said the members of Crimson7.

“Okay!” said the classmates of Ryōsuke.

A few seconds later, Ryōsuke and his friends including his classmates are selling accessories to the guests.

“How’s the conversation going?” asked Tomokazu.

“Did you guys love it?” added Kenji.

“Yeah, it feels good!” said the classmates of Ryōsuke.

“We were so delighted that he had shared his moments to us!” said Wakana.

“His secrets are feisty!” said Seiya.

“He’s so confident that he had never lost his memories like that!” said Rika.

“That’s why he’s calm and humble to make his music career getting brighter” said Manabu.

“So that, he will be able to make his fans blooming with blessings that will make him delighted for sure!” said Asahi.

“Yep! You’re right about that! I want to share my moments to my classmates because they know that I had been dazzling my way to remember the memories that I never lost. Of course, it will be amazing for my friends to explore those and so, I’m very delighted that they fascinated me for real” said Ryōsuke.

“Yes, we are!” said the classmates of Ryōsuke.

“Well, I’m very happy for you that your classmates have known about your favorite moments that you didn’t show up before. I would have joined the conversation if I found it very interesting” said Hokuto.

“Eh… not at all, brother, but I’m feeling great that my favorite moments will never be lost no matter what because it makes me feel determined and charismatic to let them know my name, so that they’ll be able to bless me at all” said Ryōsuke.

“Yeah, I agree with that! Hopefully, you’ll be planning on what’s next for your group because I want to see you and your fellow bandmates shine again!” said Hokuto.

“Of course, we got this! There’s nothing more of a beat and dazzle to make our group prospered with our loyal fans on our side. Right, boys?” said Ryōsuke.

“Yeah!” said the members of Crimson7.

“For now, let’s keep working together for our guests to buy some fantastic and precious accessories while celebrating the end of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week!” said Ryōsuke.

“Yeah!” said the members of Crimson7 and the classmates of Ryōsuke. Ryōsuke had been very charismatic and determined that he had so many moments to share with, especially that he made some secret that he had never revealed yet. His friends, especially his bandmates from Crimson7, have been fascinated these moments because it made Ryōsuke motivated to have his music career getting developed ever since he started it on his first year in middle school. Hopefully, he will continue to flourish his music career like he had used to while representing his band Crimson7, so that he will be able to make his loyal fans prospered with blessings that cherished everyone.

I have posted the profile of Ryōsuke Sugimura and his group Crimson7 last year when they have made their first appearance in Red Section-Chapter 42: “Ryōsuke Has to Appreciate Everyone with His Sound of Music”. Of course, there are a lot of fans of Ryōsuke Sugimura and his group Crimson7, mostly coming from their school, the Ishikawadai Middle School. Thus, they have called themselves the ‘Crimson7nites’ as they were not only the fans of Ryōsuke, but also his group.

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 114: “Between the Pride and Happiness of Akari Ōsaki”

Ryōsuke had been a rising star as he had been a great singer ever since he started it in Ishikawadai, which he had created his own boy group Crimson7. He made a lot of moments and secrets that he had when he became a singer, thus, he had become recognized by his schoolmates from the Ishikawadai Middle School when he had gained attention in his school on his first year as a singer. Of course, he became very determined to do his best in making progress of his music career, so that he’ll develop himself to be one of the young singers to watch out for sure!;) His band Crimson7 will be ready to shine their way to make sure that they’re going to rise themselves as one of the biggest names to watch out in Ōta in the future!:) By the way, the title of today’s update refers to the two colors of Crimson7, which are both crimson and reddish pink, which means there’s a coincidence that Asahi Hayashi is the cousin of Tomoe Udagawa, a member of Afterglow, from BanG Dream!, which is why there’s a relationship going on between both Ryōsuke and Tomoe, but it is not to be disclosed as they’re having a private relationship without notifying between both sides before Asahi had known those all along during the conversation earlier. I hope that I’ll have a plan to post a follow-up update to this one, but it’s not proposed yet because there are still a lot of ideas that I have for the other characters.;) So, fingers crossed if I’ll be planning to post that very soon!:) Now, the next update will be going back to the city of Toyama as the Bravehearts of Toyama will return after four months for another update where they’ll be now joined by a new member in Akari Ōsaki, the cousin of Amana and Tenka Ōsaki of Alstroemeria from THE IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors. This is the part where they’ll be throwing a welcome party for Akari as she’ll about to join the Bravehearts of Toyama as part of the development of the friendship between the Ōsakis and the Bravehearts of Toyama. I hope that you’re excited to witness the Bravehearts of Toyama again after they made their first appearance on Halloween last year and so, get ready to witness through happiness and desire to witness them again, but this time, with Akari on their side!:) I’ll see you on February 9 (Wednesday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

LATER TONIGHT: A Special Message from Emma Verde
 
A Special Message from Emma Verde

Hi, everyone! This is Emma Verde of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I’ll be sharing about the connection circle of Sayaka Morinaka, a member of the Bravehearts of Minato. You already known about the connection circles of different members of the Bravehearts of Minato, which also includes Ayame Murakami, shared by Ai Miyashita, and Yumi Tsurimi, shared by Kasumi Nakasu, and of course, this one will be admiring because it’s all about Sachie, a cute and determined girl from Toyosu. Before I’ll explain this, I’ll tell you about how the connection circle would be like, so that you’ll be able to remember those for yourself when my fellow club members will explain about the connection circle of a certain member of the Bravehearts of Minato. So, the connection circle is a special circle group that is exclusively to Minato and its neighboring areas where one member of the Bravehearts of Minato is connected through friend groups and allies that have been made and how they have developed their friendship with them. Since this one will be all about Sayaka, then get ready to bloom yourself when you’ll see something fascinating on her connection circle. Anyway, Sayaka had been living alongside Moeko Higashikuni and Natsuko Tomizawa in a dormitory for girls in Shiba. They have used to get along with each other after they finished their studies in Shushiba and they have also showed their closeness to their friendship due to them being together in the Shushiba Elementary School girls’ basketball team before Moeko moved to middle school. As for her group, the Shower Green, she had been compassionated to them because she had believed in their confidence when they have groomed her to be a braveheart. Of course, its leader Akira Maeshima became closer to Sayaka because she was the first person to impress Sayaka’s performance in a basketball practice. This was one of the reasons why Sayaka ended up joining the Shushiba Elementary School girls’ basketball team, which Moeko had recruited her in search for new players. They ended up getting their own interests to shine with such as taking care of the flowers, visiting pet shops to adopt a rabbit together and cooking some delicious vegetable dishes. It was so nice that Sayaka had been able to get close to them when they have gotten along with each other for fun time, which I’m very happy for her! I can always give her smile all I want because she had been able to make thrills on them with care, which she’ll be more compassionated to make herself delighted and cheerful. On the other hand, she would become friends with Izumi Kashiyama, my schoolmate from the life design course and the leader of the Solstice Dream, due to the fact both of them have loved summer fashion when they have seen some idols wearing in summer clothes, especially that they have praised Karin on her modeling session last summer. Also, they have been interested in making milkshake in different flavors and buying some plush toys that are so adorable and cute. I’m so surprised that Sayaka and Izumi have been getting along with each other when they have hanged out with each other for after school stuff and even occasional activities and so, they have been able to show their smiles and thrills to make sure that they’ll develop their friendship through their rainbow hearts. I’m sure that Sayaka had been admired by her friends on her side and so, she’ll be ready to make yourself comfortable to be with you through her smile for sure! After Sayaka, the next connection circle that our school idol club will be sharing about will be her fellow teammate Natsuko Tomizawa, which will be explained by Karin Asaka and it will be posted on February 23 (Wednesday), which will be two weeks from now. I hope that you’re ready to see another connection circle that will be shared by another member of our school idol club and of course, you have to be prepared to see this when Karin will be sharing about the connection circle of Natsuko as you’ll be ready to gleam your way to see what her connection circle would be like. So, get ready to make yourself comfortable and thrilled to see this connection circle update with your smile that you’ll never miss because this one will be blooming and harmonious to see for sure! I’m feeling blissful with a smile on my face because yesterday (February 5) was my birthday and you have been able to make me feel comfortable to make sure that you’ll never let me down, which I’m very happy for you! I hope that you’ll be more determined and admired to support me on my school idol career, so that I’ll be giving a smile that you’ll make yourself thrilled through the bottom of my heart! So, thank you very much for those who made me compassionated and comforted when you have cheered for me and I hope that you’ll be thrilled enough to have the thrills that you’ll get from me! Until then, I will see you next time when we’ll meet each other again and keep yourself complimented and thrilled through your smile, everyone!
