It was a Sunday with clear skies in the middle of October.
It was the day of the most excitement for every year.
The athletic festival. Oriyakata Academy split people from the high school level into red and white teams, having them compete in a variety of events, gathering points from each, and then ending with the overall results. This was a traditional competition that existed in most schools.
「Next up is the three-legged race. Competitors, please assemble before the stage. I repeat. Next up is the three-legged race. Competitors, please assemble before the――」
With the announcement from the member of the broadcasting committee, who already was debuting as a voice actor while in high school, the students all came to gather in the specified location. There they received the explanation from the management member while taking ribbons to tie their feet together.
Taiyou and Kohaku were standing there.
Taiyou was wearing your average half-sleeved long pants gym uniform, while Kohaku was wearing the rouge symbol for the red team on her bloomers.
Though her body type didn’t have much in terms of curvature, it was exhibiting a criminal scent from it.
「Here’s the ribbon. Tie your feet together」
「Okay」
「……」
「What’s wrong?」
Realizing that the glasses-wearing management member was staring at them, Taiyou tilted his head and questioned her.
「Is everything alright?」
「I’m the one who wants to ask that」
Taiyou smiled wryly, answering.
He wasn’t stupid. He knew exactly what the girl was asking.
The cause was right next to him.
「Come on, Danna-sama. The ribbon」
「……Yeah」
Taiyou was 175cm, whereas Kohaku was 130cm.
Their heights having a difference of 40cm, it showed clearly with the length of their feet, and in Taiyou’s case it reached almost all the way up to Kohaku’s shoulders.
This really didn’t seem like it would work for the three-legged race.
But Taiyou wasn’t the one who had desired to compete.
When they had the selection, Kohaku went ahead of him and asked for them to be a pair.
「Umm, Kohaku-san? You sure we can do this?」
「It’s fine, don’t worry」
「No, there are quite a few issues. And that one’s old」
「Kukuku, with this I can be close to Danna-sama in broad daylight」
「……Well, I figured it was something like that. That’s the only reason, so you didn’t have to say that. I know」
「Hm? Ye say something just now, Danna-sama?」
「I know you heard that!」
Taiyou quipped loudly.
In a sense, that might have been even worse than directly responding to him.
「Alright, then let’s at least go slowly. Also, when counting, it’ll be one for the inside and two for the outside. Sound good?」
「Aye, no problem」
「Lord help me over the fence……」
He was so anxious that his quip turned into a Kansai dialect expression.
And just like that, they tied their feet together, got together with the other contestants, and moved to the start line.
「「「Good luck, Taiyou-san!」」」
They went past the three sisters, who yelled encouragement.
They were at the forefront of the masses, so the three of them spoke at once like usual.
Youran was also there to the side.
The mismtached triplets, and the attractive twintailed girl.
Just like Kohaku, they were also in bloomer gym outfits.
「Natsuno-kun」
This time, Aoba called out.
She was also wearing a track suit, but with short pants and white kneesocks below.
She was the only one in a different class than Taiyou and the others, in the white team, so she wore that uniform.
