Shigure
(Today I got hit repeatedly by An again, and I couldn't beat Riko either. ...Though I can gradually do more push-ups)

Shigure
(Since I'm the commander-in-chief, I need to think about strategies to win against the white team, but... I can't think of anything. Should I consult with Riko tomorrow?)

Shigure
Sigh...

Hatsumi
Why are you sighing? Happiness will escape.

Shigure
Wah! Hatsumi-san!?

Shigure
...It's nothing, I just have things to think about for the sports festival.

Hatsumi
Praying for rain again? Fufu, this time shall I join you in making upside-down teru teru bozu dolls?

Shigure
That's not it! Since Shigure became the commander-in-chief for the cavalry battle, I have to try hard in various ways!

Hatsumi
Shigure is the commander-in-chief for the cavalry battle!? I'm surprised...

Hatsumi
Taking on sports you're not good at proactively is a good thing. Well done, Shigure.

Shigure
H-hey, don't pat my head! Don't treat me like a child!

Shigure
(Come to think of it, Hatsumi-san leads Eden on a daily basis. Maybe I could get some good hints for cavalry battle strategies)

Shigure
Um, Hatsumi-san. If you were to become the commander-in-chief for a cavalry battle, what kind of strategy would you come up with?

Hatsumi
I see, so your school conducts it in that manner. Well...

Hatsumi
If there's one thing I can say... I wouldn't give the opponent time to prepare mentally.

Shigure
Eh?

Shigure/An
Rock-paper-scissors!

An
Ugyaah!!

Shigure
Hmph, your reaction is slow!

Riko
Your push-up count has increased, and you can now win at sumo pushing against me. You're steadily growing, Shigure-sama!

Shigure
Well, Shigure knew that I could do it if I tried? If anything, it took too long to get this good?

An
W-what a talented person... Shigure-sama is terrifying!

Shigure
Well, I've become fairly capable with training. Next is the strategy aspect.

Riko
Yes, as Shigure-sama mentioned before. Striking first... it's a good strategy that takes advantage of being in a group.

Shigure
If Riko says so, I'm reassured. Did you all do what I said this morning?

Koharu
Yes! Shigure-sama! During lunch break, I informed everyone in the cavalry!

An
Everyone said they would follow Shigure-sama's orders~! Charge~!

??
Huh? Shigure-chan?

Shigure
...! Niizuma!?

Yae
That cap and paper rod...

Yae
Were you all playing together? It looks fun!

Shigure
That's... well.

Koharu
This isn't play, it's training for the cavalry battle!

An
Shigure-sama is a person overflowing with ambition~!

Riko
But why is Niizuma-san here...? Could it be, reconnaissance on Shigure-sama, our commander-in-chief...?

Yae
Eh, Shigure-chan is the commander-in-chief for the cavalry battle!? That's amazing!

Yae
You were practicing as a rider until just now... I'm a rider too, so I need to learn from Shigure-chan.

Shigure
H-hmph, well, yes. As the commander-in-chief, I need to set an example for those below me?

Shigure
So, what are you here for?

Yae
I came for cheerleading practice.

Yae
The white team is doing cheerleading for the cheer battle. And I've been made a cheerleader...

Yae
Ah, of course I'll be cheering for the white team, but I'm also cheering for Shigure-chan!

Shigure
Huh? Shigure is on the enemy team. What's the point of cheering for Shigure, your enemy?

Shigure
We'll be directly confronting each other in the cavalry battle.

Yae
Ugh... So I really have to fight against Shigure-chan... right?

Shigure
Huh? That's obvious since that's what the cavalry battle is about, isn't it?

Yae
I guess so... But if possible, I don't want to fight with Shigure-chan.

Shigure
Don't want to fight... do you understand what you're saying?

Yae
Even so, having to fight against Shigure-chan, who has been working hard as an actor in the same age group as me... I'm reluctant.

Shigure
Sigh... then if my team encounters your cavalry, I'll defeat you gently.

Shigure
Shigure doesn't have a hobby of bullying someone who's reluctant?

Yae
Shigure-chan...!

Shigure
In exchange, I'll beat Towa-senpai to a pulp! If that person is a rider, Shigure will throw away both the cap and the person!

Towa
Sigh~, why do I have to take out the garbage? Who put the garbage collection point near the field? They should have put it closer.

Towa
Sigh~, how troublesome. ...Hm? Is that my junior and Shigure?

Shigure
In exchange, I'll beat Towa-senpai to a pulp! If that person is a rider, Shigure will throw away both the cap and the person!

Towa
Huh?

Towa
...To a pulp, huh. Hmm, you've really said it now. I guess I need to teach you about something called senpai dignity.
