I think Sakura would be good for it.
Huh?!
N-No, wait a sec!
Oh, that's what you were doin'.
I was actually thinkin' Sakura'd be good, too.
I saw ya fight on the first day,
but you were super cool yesterday, too. I'm all for it!
Y-You, too? The hell are you on…
Over here!
I'm for it, too!
Ahhh!
I'm also for it!
Hold up, guys, d-don't you think he'd be the right fit for this?
[No interest. Hmph.]
Sugishita's not the type to do that sorta stuff.
[Hmph.]
[No interest. Hmph.] Neither am I!
I mean, I don't even know what to do,
and besides, I'm not even from here.
That doesn't matter, man.
You're here now, and it was you and Sugishita who saved that middle-schooler.
And I heard you beat Lion's Head's number two.
And hey,
our three other strongest guys are in your camp,
so we got no complaints!
Sakura, if you'll agree to do it,
I'll be your vice-rep.
And as for the other…
How 'bout Nire?
Eh?! M-Me?!
After all,
the whole class is willing to trust you with it.
Is that not good enough?
The grade rep is basically the class's top dog, isn't it?
There were things being top dog would let me do.
I just wanted to be top dog so I could accept myself.
There was nothing else I wanted to do.
I've thought about it since then,
but I…
might have been the same as him.
But they still…
want me?
The hell you waitin' for?!
We ain't tellin' you to be primo!
Pickin' a damn grade rep ain't supposed to take this damn long!
It doesn't matter one bit who it is!
I-Is it just me, or is he a bit too loud?
It's a shock, that's for sure.
So shut up
and pick already.
[He's gonna blow an eardrum.] [Don't his ears hurt…?]
His music's that loud?!
Hey. You.
Huh?
You do it.
There. Decided.
Huh?
Huh?! Why are you choosing?!
It looked like they wanted you to do it.
Why are you wasting time?
So he didn't hear any of it…
Nobody expects a perfect score from the start.
If you can't figure it out, have someone else do it.
That's it! We're done!
Hey! Aren't you the grade rep?!
Why are you letting him decide this?!
Sakura, wait!
Huh?!
What you spouting, punk?!
This guy's the Tamon Squad's second-year grade rep!
Kaji Rrrrrrrren!
Wait, he's the grade rep?
He's the second-year grade rep?
It's decided. Tamon's first-year grade rep is Sakurrra!
Huh?! Wait a sec! I didn't say I'd do it yet!
And how do you know my name?!
You wanted the grrrade rrrep to choose.
He chose you. You got no rrroom to complain.
[Ngh] Ngh.
[Ngh]
Don't worry.
He didn't say you had to go it alone.
We're here for you.
Tha'ss right, Sakura.
Lettin' folks show their stuff is my aesthetic.
I'll help out, even if I ain't your vice-rep.
Mm-hm! And I get away without having to do the annoying stuff!
That's what you were after?!
You don't gotta think that hard about it.
Even if you're grade rep, you're still just another guy in our class.
Take it easy, man!
[Ugh…]
We'll be counting on you, too, okay, Sugishita?
Oh, he's sleeping.
E-Excuse me!
May I make a group for the Tamon Squad first-years?
Here we go!
Gimme your usernames!
Everyone call 'em out one by one!
Sakurrra, Suo, Nirrrei.
We'll give you ourrr contact info.
[Friends, open chat. 2 groups. 38 friends] Whoa! I got some second-year contacts!
[Friends, open chat. 2 groups. 38 friends]
Good for you.
This class has a bunch of rrreal good guys, huh?
You betterrr lead it good.
What am I even supposed to do to lead it?
Well, forrr now, do whateverrr you want.
But there's nothing I want to do…
Tamon's in charge of patrrrols after school today.
You new rrreps will go with Kaji.
Take a good, close look.
See what rrreps do.
S-S-S-Sakura, you don't have to glare at him…
Huh? I'm not.
Um, well, y'know…
A-Apparently Kaji was quick to throw fists until he got out of middle school.
You saw it in the classroom.
You never know what might set him off,
so try not to upset him…
Kaji!
Hm? What's up?
My little one… Lisa is missing again.
There's a lost kid?
What? Again?
I said to keep an eye on her.
I'm sorry I wasn't careful enough…
Fine, dammit. It's okay, don't cry.
We'll handle it.
What do we look for?
She's wearing a pink ribbon today.
Got it. She might come back on her own,
so you go home.
Got it?
Thank you. Thank you!
Alright, Kusumi. It's all you.
[But a kid is missing…] He… passed it off?
He's not gonna do anything himself?
But he's a grade rep… He's the leader!
Leaders should be more…
Looks like he already shared the details. He works fast.
But I'm still worried. We have to find her soon.
Well, duh.
We'll find her for sure.
Ooh!
[Suo Hayato: We'll definitely find the lost kid!] [Suo Hayato: Grade rep's words.]
[Suo Hayato: We'll definitely find the lost kid!] [Suo Hayato: Grade rep's words. We got this]
Wh-Wh-Why did you send that?!
Why not? I bet it'll fire everyone up.
Nzhf, no! If this doesn't get a response, all it'll do is embarrass me!
[Kurita Junpei: Nice!] [Takanashi Tsukasa: You know it!!]
[Suo Hayato: We got this]
[Kurita Junpei: Nice!]
[Takanashi Tsukasa: You know it!!] [Kakiuchi Yuri: Gotcha!]
[Tsugeura Taiga: That's our Sakura!! He comes in when it counts! That's aesthetic! Sharp! Sharp!! So sharp!!!!]
[Kiryu Mitsuki: Cool Guy Sakura] [YOU COOL]
See? They're all fired up.
Somethin' wrong, Sakura?
You're a bit red.
He's shy.
I-It doesn't matter if I'm red! Let's go!
Sakura?!
Owww… What gives?!
You okay?!
Found her! Over here!
Sakurrra! Grrrab her!
Huh? Why?
That's herrr! Lisa's rrright there!
Huh?!
Grrrab her!
Sh-She got up there so fast…
Ain't much we can do if she rrruns up therrre…
Ugh, dammit.
Stop right there!
He's a rrregular monkey.
I should have expected as much.
Wait! We gotta be able to grrrab her if she drrrops down!
Go arrround to the other side!
O-Okay!
No, you idiot!
Dumbass, that's…!
Kaji!
You two get down therrre to help Kaji back out!
You call the old lady!
I'll go borrrrrow a towel!
Go!
On it!
Thank you. Thank you so very much.
Don't thank us. We didn't catch herrr.
Kaji.
Thank you.
Thank you for bringing Lisa back.
Don't let it happen again. We might not find her in time.
You're right about that… I'll be careful.
Guys, please take these.
You really helped Mom out.
Huh? Wait, Sakura?
I was able to become top dog because everyone supported me.
They agreed with what I wanted to do, and helped make it reality.
What is it you want to do?
Huh?
You had a reason to become grade rep, didn't you?
What is it?!
I ain't got one. The hell you saying?
I didn't become grade rep 'cause I wanted to, anyway.
Huh?! Then why?!
They told me to.
Just like with me…?
B-But then…
It's all you.
Then there's no reason for you to do it, is there?!
I can't make more candy if I run out.
Huh?
I can't unite people like Enomoto does.
And I can't get things across to people like Kusumi does.
You see…
I'm always relying on others.
But…
They're still relying on me, too.
That's why I'll do whatever I can to live up to that trust.
That's all it is.
Huh? Whoa, Kaji! You plannin' to patrrrol like that?!
Put your clothes on, dammit!
It's okay to not have any goals?
Huh?
But…
Living up to their trust… Is that what he wanted to do?
For them… huh.
No, wait. I'm not the type of guy who…
Sakura!
Some dango from Kikuchi for you.
Their dango are great!
[Blah, blah, blah] Maaan, Sakura, you were like a ninja!
I mean, that was a cat! They're so easy to lose track of!
I bet you'd have caught a person in an instant!
That's Sakura for you. He's always so reliable!
Uh, hey…
Wh-When you guys, uh,
voted for me to be the rep,
was it because you… rely… on me…?
But of course, Sakura.
And you can rely on us, too!
Y-Y-You need to learn to fight first!
Good heavens, what's wrong?!
Huh?! Sakura, are you okay?!
Wait, are you feeling sick?
Maybe I gained weight!
This is nothing…
I just tripped.
Look at those bags.
Trouble sleeping?
N-Not really.
I c-can't tell her.
No way can I tell her I was up until dawn thinking of what I could do.
Oh, right, have you chosen a grade rep yet?
[Pffftttt]
Whoa, there, you sure you're not feeling sick?
Wait, was it you?
S-Sorry to surprise you.
Huh? Why?
I think it's a good thing.
I don't know if it's that good having a guy who doesn't know what to do be rep.
If you don't know what you should do, then just do what you can.
That's what I was th…!
[Huff]
Th-That's none of your business.
Hmmm?
That the tone you wanna take?
Hey.
Huh?
You know the names and faces of everyone in your class, right?
Huh?
Oh? What's this? Do you actually not?
And here I thought you would!
Then learning their names is something you can do.
And call them by name, too.
Calling someone by name shows you actually recognize them.
Now she mentions it…
Have I… ever called anyone by name?
Me, too.
[Glare] You've never called me by name.
H-Huh?!
Alright, let's practice!
Kotoha! Now you say it!
[Heh] And I'm Chiyoko.
Wh-Who asked you?!
Go on, say it!
Thanks for the food!
Ah. He ran away.
He's a shy one!
Hmm…
I don't think that's all it is.
Hm?
I think…
He's afraid.
Afraid of getting close to people.
Keep trying, Sakura.
Let's see…
The guy with the buzz cut is Kurita.
The guy with the slicked-back hair is Takanashi.
The black mushroom-head is Kakiuchi.
Black mushroom…?
Him. The one in the hoodie.
Dammit, I can't remember so many in one go!
Even so, it made me happy when you asked me to tell you everyone's names!
It shows you're taking this rep stuff seriously.
N-No! And not knowing won't hurt me, either!
You don't have to be so shy.
Oh? So, what's my name?
And mine?
Sh-Shut up! I'll kick your ass!
Next guy!
Wow, rude.
Let's see… Next is…
Anzai's hurt?
I wonder what happened.
I haven't heard anything.
Oi! First- and second-year reps and vice-reps, come to the roof!
Dammit, Umemiya, broadcasting outta nowhere startles folks!
Huh? Oh! I need to do the ding-dong thingy?
Where is it?
It's too late now!
Ban him from the broadcast room already.
We got called up already?
First thing in the morning?
Wh-Wh-Wh-What could it be?!
L-Let's get there, fast! Sakura, Suo!
I-I get it already! Quit pullin'!
See ya later.
Everyone else is already here!
Huh? Isn't that Sugishita?
So that's why he wasn't in class…
Hey, Sakurrra, Nirrrei, Suo. Over here.
What's with the early-morning call-out?
It's a meet-n'-grrreet for all the squad's rrreps.
That said, most of the second-yearrrs are rrrepeat rrreps.
And most of the firrrsties werrre well-known in middle school.
Everrryone knows everrryone.
Do you know them all, too, Suo?
Hmm… Pretty much.
I've at least talked to most of them.
I have to remember the names and faces of everyone in class plus these guys?
Don't worry about that, Sakura.
If you don't recognize anyone, I can help.
Eh?
Lemme go through 'em real quick.
The guy in the red shirt in back…
W-Wait a sec!
Do you know all the classes' reps?
Oh, no.
I just know the faces and names of everyone in the school.
You memorized them?
Yes. I borrowed the roster yesterday.
I can't help you guys in a fight,
but I'm relatively good at remembering people, so…
I thought if I memorized them, I could make Sakura's life here easier.
I-I decided to guide you to the top, after all!
You're incredible, Nire! I'd never be able to memorize them that fast.
O-Oh, no! It's no big deal!
Hmm… What can I do?
Oh, I know.
I can be the negotiator!
Huh?
I'm good at making people give in to my demands,
and I'm also decent at getting info out of them.
Th-That's kinda scary.
Well.
Let's all do what we're good at.
They're both ready for this.
They already know what they can do.
He's already doing it.
Well… I'll leave that to you guys,
Nirei, Suo.
Wh-What?
Oh, good! You remembered our names!
O-Of course I did!
Sorry I'm late, guys!
Ugh, there's even more?!
Hey, how many grade reps even are there?!
Th-Those aren't grade reps!
They're Furin's four devas and their assistants!
[#12: Someone Reliable]
Anzai…
Kurita…
Takanashi…
Um, what are you mumbling there?
Nothing!
I heard you just fine, actually.
