Yamada to Kase-san ch50: Face Stickers and Kase-san (Part 1)

Let's enjoy wearing matching stickers<3

Kase-senpai...

...

Phew

To think she actually forgot about me...
Two years ago...

In the regional block of my first ever interhigh,
I was completely stiff with nerves.

Doi...
Isn't that Doi Mizuho?

She was amazing back in middle school.

I had been out of shape since entering high school, and had finally gotten a place in a qualifier.
I never used to get nervous before.
Shit!

I gotta make it to the nationals this year...
I gotta.
I gotta.
I gotta!!

bang

Just one of them is running like they've grown wings.
Who is that?

Ah...
Kase...
Kase Tomoka from West High!
I've seen her before!

I wanna talk to her!
Wait.
Now's my only chance!
Wait!

Um!

Ah.
Crap. I called out to her without thinking.

Ah.
Um...
How...

How are you able to run so lightly?

Ah.
Erm...
Crap.
I asked her something stupid.

Sorry. I always get nervous at tournaments,
so I was jealous of you...

chuckle

pat

You look pale.
This your first qualifier?
Ahahaha
Relax! Relax!

No need to be nervous.
You trained a lot in order to come here, right?
Besides, you get to race against fast girls and get good times.
I find tournaments to be pretty fun.

...!

Finding tournaments fun...
I never thought of it like that.
Hearing that

lifted the weight on my shoulders a little.

But I still ended up in 7th place and couldn't go to the nationals.

Kya~ Kya~
That's... quite the line.

Ah!

You're from earlier! The one from Tachibana High...

So, how'd it go?
Ah, not so well.
Kind of a shame...

You're still in your second year, right? There's always next year!

I'm gonna keep doing track, so if you keep running, I'm sure we'll meet again somewhere.
Let's run together when that time comes!

Hnng<3

...
That became
my first clear goal.

I'll definitely get into the same college as her...

Hey, Kase.
Wasn't that Doi Mizuho just now?
Huh? You know her, coach?
Of course I do.

She was amazing in middle school.
They say she could've qualified for the Olympics.
Eh~ For real? Tell me that sooner.
But I heard that now...

she's kinda sluggish...

What are you doing, Kase-senpai!?
You said we were gonna practise for the relay together today!

Tama Park Flower Expo

Wah~ Wah~ Wah~

Ahem~
Attention everyone who's entered this year's flower garden contest!
We had a lot of exhibits this year!

They were all arranged with so much love from their creators,
so it took a while for our judges to decide on a winner!
