Shigure
Sigh...
Shigure
(I didn't intend for this, but I ended up becoming the commander-in-chief...)
Riko
Shigure-sama...
An
She's sighing~... I wonder what's wrong...
Koharu
Maybe something happened during the meeting just now...
Koharu
Wait, thinking about it, Shigure-sama... became the commander because others recommended her, right?
Riko
Yes, if the commander-in-chief is defeated, the team loses. It might be inconvenient for Shigure-sama who wants to defeat Towa-senpai and the others, as it would restrict her movement.
Riko
Even so, she accepted the leadership role to meet everyone's expectations. What a magnanimous person...
Shigure
Siiigh...
Koharu
Sh-Shigure-sama!
Shigure
What is it, Koharu?
Koharu
If Shigure-sama is the commander, that means you can decide everything, right?
Koharu
Th-then the red team's victory is certain!
Riko
Victory naturally comes to those under excellent leadership.
An
It's not so much the red team as it is Shigure-sama's grand guard corps~!
Shigure
(...Indeed, being the commander-in-chief is convenient for defeating Towa-senpai and Niizuma, as I can make various decisions)
Shigure
(Plus, if I win against the white team with this title, not only can I show Towa-senpai and the others, but I can also show Mom and Dad my good side?)
Shigure
(For that, I have no choice but to train. If the commander-in-chief is weak, it would be embarrassing!)
Shigure
Well, what's done is done. Shigure will lead the red team to victory!
Koharu
Shigure-sama...!
An
Commander-in-chief, Shigure-sama~! This is the beginning of the red team's triumphant advance~!
Riko
Surely, when the sports festival is over, I will remember this day. As the turning point when the red team defeated the white team.
Shigure
You're all too hasty, you know?
Shigure
Well, but? Let's start training from now on so that can become true?
Shigure
First, what do we need for the cavalry battle? We can't practice without knowing that, can we?
Koharu
That's true... In a cavalry battle, the riders compete to take each other's caps, and the one who takes the opponent's cap wins, right?
Riko
Yes. The teacher said that if a rider's cap is taken or if the horse formation collapses significantly, they should be disbanded on the spot.
An
The team that defeats the opposing team before time runs out, or has more cavalry remaining, wins.
An
...We have a big responsibility!
Koharu
Then we need to train our sense of balance for when we get into a scuffle, right?
An
How about sumo pushing?
Riko
Just sumo pushing might not be enough to train the sense of balance needed for a cavalry battle? I think we should be a bit more creative here.
Shigure
Creative, like what?
Riko
Well, for example...
Riko
For example, how about sumo pushing on a balance beam? You can come anytime, Shigure-sama.
Shigure
Ah... u-unbelievable.
An
We've laid out mats, so it's okay if you fall~! Shigure-sama!
Koharu
Your body isn't wobbling at all... as expected of Shigure-sama! You've already grasped the technique!
Shigure
(Th-this... if I move even a little, I'll definitely lose my balance!?)
Riko
Shigure-sama? ...Ah, could it be you're being considerate of me!? What a kind person...
Riko
But consideration is unnecessary. Come on, Shigure-sama!
Shigure
(It's not that I'm being considerate... Oh, geez!)
Shigure
H-here I go!
Riko
Take this!
Shigure
Wa-wawa, waaah~~!!
An/Koharu
Shigure-sama!!
Shigure
Ouch...
Koharu
You leaned too far forward and lost your balance...
An
Shigure-sama, you were gallant~! Brave~!
Shigure
J-just give me a hand...!
Koharu
For any event, you need basic muscle strength! Shigure-sama, let's do push-ups together! One, two, three!
Shigure
Four... five...
An
You can do it~! Fight! Shigure-sama~!
Shigure
Twenty... twenty... three...
Koharu
Shigure-sama, Shigure-sama~!
Koharu
Are you okay!? Here's some water!
Shigure
gulp gulp gulp, splutter...! gasp, hah... hah...
Riko
M-muscle training is about daily accumulation! This is just the beginning, Shigure-sama!
An
In a cavalry battle, riders try to take each other's caps~! So what's important is explosive power! Rock-paper-scissors with a twist~!
Shigure
(Rock-paper-scissors... this shouldn't be too hard)
Shigure
Hmph, don't cry just because Shigure keeps beating you!
Riko
I've placed a paper rod and a cap in the middle. This makes the conditions equal.
Koharu
You can do it~! Shigure-sama~!
Shigure/An
Rock-paper-scissors!
Koharu
Ah, An won!
Shigure
Ah... the cap.
Shigure
Ugyaah!!
Shigure
pant, wheeze, pant
An
(I completely defeated Shigure-sama~! Wh-what should I do...)
Koharu
Um, Shigure-sama... We...
Shigure
Again, tomorrow... wheeze, at the same time... we'll do this.
Riko
But, Shigure-sama...
Shigure
Since I've decided to do this, I won't quit halfway. Also, Shigure doesn't intend to waste time.
Shigure
So, you all should continue to give it your all like today from tomorrow onwards. Okay?
Riko
Shigure-sama, what a high level of ambition...! I'm deeply impressed!
Koharu
I'm sorry, Shigure-sama. We're doing this training to win together. We shouldn't hold back, right!
An
We'll continue to accompany Shigure-sama's training~! We'll do our best~!
