MISSION 33 "IT'S JUST SPORTS DAY."
Testing. Mic test 1-2-3.
When a person has extreme social anxiety,
they struggle to communicate with others.
Bear in mind,
they only struggle to form connections.
It doesn't mean that they don't want to.
I hereby declare the opening of the 23rd Itan High School Sports Day!
Victory to our god!
YEAAAAAH
-STARTLE -KOMI'S CLASS
It's sports day!
Wow, you startled me!
Tadano, Komi! Sports Day is a festival!
Let's get more hyped!
You're just happy because you don't have to study.
39.2 degrees. Hm.
Temperature's rising, Najimi.
Netsuno is hot-blooded.
-Wh-Who? -A NEW CHARACTER?
That's Netsuno!
So you're Komi!
I'm Chika Netsuno from second year. Nice to meet you.
FREAKED OUT BY THE CLOSENESS.
Your class is 41.5 degrees. Getting pretty hot.
Compared to that…
You're very cool.
16.9 degrees. Pretty chilly.
Chilly?
I hope you won't hold your class back.
What was that?
WHAP WHAP
What's up with that woman?
She just touched Komi. Someone's playing with fire.
Everyone! It's a fight to the death!
YEAH!
Let's just do our best.
Now, the rules of the sports festival.
It's a round-robin tournament with all classes from first to third year.
Get points for your team by winning events!
The class with the most points wins!
I'm your MC, Tsukasa Aizawa.
And our special judge is…
Vice-principal here.
Now, the first game is…
Group Exercises!
The person with the most beautiful form
will earn 10 points for their class from the vice-principal!
Radio Exercise Number 1! Ready?
Impressive!
Netsuno from second year.
Big, eye-catching gestures as always!
There is awareness in every single fingertip.
Ah, a lovely spread.
Hmm, there are other good ones,
but perhaps Netsuno's the best…
W-Wait!
BAM
I changed my mind. 10 points to Komi!
What?
Moving on to the second game!
Tug-of-War Class Tournament!
Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
Heave-ho! Ko-mi! Ko-mi!
Oh, Komi…
If you push me any harder I'm…
-Komi's beside me… -Komi's right behind me…
Several people went weak, so they lost in the first round.
Obstacle Relay!
This game also has points for artistry!
Oh… I'm slow, so I have to work hard.
For Komi!
Oh! Agari from Class 1-1!
Off to a slow start!
But wait!
She got lots of points for artistry!
I can hear the boys sighing!
Can Class 1-1 catch up?
Why do I have to be on display like this?
First of all, Sports Day is a joke.
Is an event that mocks the athletically-challenged
even needed in a hall of learning?
No! Definitely not!
I'll just fumble through and get it over w… Oh!
What's this?
Searching for candy in a bin of starch with no hands!
This is designed to make people look foolish!
GULP
Fine. I'll use my Dragon Force
to expertly extract a piece of candy from this sea of starch!
Now on to the next runner!
They're currently in last place! Will they be able to turn it around?
Run! Tadano!
Do it or I'll bury you!
What's wrong?
Hey! C'mon and cheer with us!
Go! Go! Tadano!
TADANO GOT DIZZY FROM SPINNING
Huh?
You… can… do…
it!
-They came in third. -(OUT OF 5)
52.4 degrees. You were on fire!
Huh?
On to the second half!
A flash rainstorm!
It suddenly started raining.
Hopefully it stops soon.
SPARKLE
Komi's speaking!
Hello. I'm Shoko's mom, Shuko.
Thanks for being so nice to Shoko!
Yeah! Shuko!
Huh? What's wrong? I've come all this way to cheer for you.
They're all nice kids.
Alright everyone, give it your all in the second half!
Yeah!
Class Competition Borrowing Race!
-Ta-Ta-Tadano! -Hm?
Can I borrow your jacket?
Sure!
Tadano.
Lend me your hair!
-Huh? If I lend it, it won't come back. -I GUESS IT'S OKAY…
-POINTS. -My headband?
-CORRECT! -BORROW A HEADBAND.
Tadano!
Lend me a shoe, and a thousand yen.
Nothing for you!
Schoolwide Musical Chairs!
Once 100 chairs are left,
the remaining students will be awarded points for their class!
Here!
Headband Stealing!
Ball Toss!
Giant Ball Rolling!
And!
Swordfight Pole Toppling!
We're into the final game of the day!
You can't miss a second!
The final competition is!
Class Relay!
Each class will choose four runners, and the first-place winner
will get a hundred million points!
They always do that on TV variety shows!
There's a chance for every class!
I never thought we'd meet like this.
Cheers.
TREMBLE
Huh?
MISSED OPPORTUNITY
You're chilly like I thought.
I don't think I'll lose.
Is Komi going to be okay?
STAMPEDE
67.3 degrees!
Classes 1-1 and 2-3 got their batons at the same moment!
I thought you were chilly,
but you really bring the heat!
Alright, I'll show you what I can do.
Class 1-1 is down!
Komi!
Go, Komi!
Looks like you're back up, Komi!
75.6 degrees!
First place! 2-3!
The winning team is Class 2-3!
Sorry I said you were chilly.
You gave 120 degrees out there!
You're blazing hot, Komi!
See you next year.
Komi! Komi!
A-Are you okay?
Are you injured?
Are you alright? It doesn't hurt? We were worried!
They're more concerned about her injuries than losing.
BLUBBER
200 degrees!
Good friends… Such good friends!
Second place. Class 1-1. Congratulations on your valiant fight.
-Komi's shaking! -She must be so upset about losing!
SHAKING BECAUSE EVERYONE IS LOOKING AT HER
For a lot of people with social anxiety,
when their friends talk to someone they don't know,
they tend to not be able to join in.
And this feeling,
might be called "jealousy."
I feel eyes on me.
Tadano, get the papers from the prep room!
Tadano, about the culture festival.
Hey! When will that hidden camera for filming Komi arrive?
Hey Tadano, about forming the Komi Bodyguards.
The ball is in your court.
What's the Komi Bodyguards?
GLOOM
VICE-PRESIDENT CLASS PRESIDENT
-Hold up! -Gurk!
Um, uh.
Onemine?
-Hi! -Let me go…
You're so busy with class council stuff.
Are you okay?
Oh. Did you want to ask me to do something?
No, no, I came to help out!
W-What do you want from me?
You're really suffering, hey Tadano.
-Can I take this for you? -Huh?
Seriously, they're asking too much of you.
Najimi, get the papers from the prep room.
There's no standing up to you, Onemine!
-Right now! -Alright!
-WANTS TO HELP -Komi, will you help too?
Hm? The two of us can handle it.
Oh. I guess you're right.
Alright Komi. See you tomorrow.
Tadano, how are things?
Huh? What do you mean?
You know…
You're being bullied, aren't you?
Uh, no, I don't think so…
Really? But the teacher said…
STAFF ROOM
I can just make Tadano do it. Life's good!
…as she was playing a game, so I thought…
Huh? Maybe I am being bullied.
So you were concerned and offered to help?
You guessed?
I just can't mind my own business. Always been that way.
Such a good person!
SCIENCE LAB
Also, can I ask?
Sure.
Are you…
a masochist?
Um, could you tell me how you reached that conclusion?
After all, Komi is so beautiful and hard to approach.
-Isn't it a lot of pressure? -Huh?
Is it?
So for someone like you, an avera…
a normal guy like you to always be with her…
I guess you must be into pain.
Oh, don't worry. I totally get it!
It's not like that at all.
I don't feel any pressure being with Komi.
You'll understand if you talk to her. I think she'd like that.
Really?
But everyone puts her on such a pedestal.
She must look down on…
She really doesn't.
Huh.
Anyway, if you're ever having trouble, you can talk to me.
Thank you!
Huh? Komi? What's wrong?
STARE
You'll understand if you talk to her. I think she'd like that.
H-Hi there, Komi…
-Huh? -Oh!
Um, oh, that's just, uh.
How can I explain? Hmm.
-AFTER SCHOOL. -Bye! See ya!
GLOOM
They gave you work again?
I guess I'll help you.
Oh, uh, no. That's…
If you say no, I'll just make more work for you!
Such a good person!
-Komi, you can go on home. -IT'D BE BAD TO MAKE HER WAIT…
One, two, three, four, five, six, ten.
Let's make quick work of this.
Alright!
This is for the culture festival…
And this is for the teacher.
Got it.
I WANT TO HELP, TOO.
Ah, alright. Please do. It'll help a lot.
Why are you so eager to help?
Ah, so for this document here,
I want to tally up A, B, and C, so if you can circle this…
Sorry!
I had plans today.
I gotta go! Really sorry!
Bye, you two.
Huh?
THE NEXT DAY
Hey you two!
Was that a little too buddy-buddy?
SORRY ABOUT YESTERDAY. YOU SPOKE TO ME BUT I RAN AWAY.
GOOD MORNING.
Sorry, that just tickled me.
Ah, Komi.
Sorry I was hanging out with Tadano yesterday.
I'm rooting for the two of you.
Uh, Komi?
What did you say to her?
Huh?
That's between me and Komi.
DID YOU SEE IT?
IT SEEMS THAT PHOTO STICKERS ARE POPULAR THESE DAYS.
Yes, I guess so.
-I WAS THINKING IT SEEMS FUN… -Yeah.
Do you want to go?
I heard that!
You?
Have no fear, Photogenic Najimi is here!
Huh? What? Say that again.
We can go to the arcade by the station.
What? You're going to take photo stickers?
Without me?
It's…
Filter Queen Yamai!
What's this bit you're doing?
It's been ages.
I used to take a lot in junior high.
Yeah.
Komi?
SPARKLE
There are a lot of different types.
Hey! We're starting!
Choose a frame.
Is this one okay?
Which filter will you use?
Beautiful skin mode.
Komi, you already have nice skin, so you'd just disappear.
Big clear eyes mode.
Komi already has big eyes, so you'd just look like an alien.
Full-body long-legged model mode.
Komi already has long legs, so you'd just look weird.
Huh?
There's no filter we can use for Komi!
First, a cute one. Smile big!
-Now make a cute angry pose. -EMBARRASSED
Last, do some funny faces together!
FRIENDS FOREVER!
-They're awful! Ha ha ha! -IS IT OKAY TO LAUGH?
Adorable!
I laughed so hard I'm hungry now.
Let's get a snack!
Yeah.
THANKS EVERYONE.
Komi?
THREE DAYS LATER
Good morning, Komi.
GOOD MORNING.
Hang on.
Here.
When we went to the arcade,
you were looking at it.
I figured maybe you wanted one.
I just happened to get it on the first try.
It's not like… It's okay if you don't want it.
WAVE WAVE
AFTER THAT, I GOT NAJIMI TO TAKE ME.
Oh, is that what happened?
Then I guess you don't need…
Komi?
LET'S TRADE.
Here.
Morning!
Huh? What's up?
Hey! What's going on?
Hey! Hey!
TOO EMBARRASSED TO PUT THEM ON THEIR BAGS
Shoko, dinner…
