Top performance! Sports meet and the key to victory 2-3N

[Sports field]

Aka: Haah, haah... Renchi, can you go for one more time?

Ren: Phew... Miroku's already recovered her breathing. I'll give the next command. Ready, start!

Aka: One, two. One, two. One, two.

Ren: One, two. One, two. One, two.

Fuu: Shizuka, how is it? How are Akamine and Renge doing?

Kir: Well, I'd say so-so. They've stopped quarrelling but their pace is still all over the place.

Fuu: Hmm, why is this happening? The two of them should be more than capable of pulling this off if we're talking ability.

Kir: Well, I think it'll work fine if it just snaps into place for them, at least once. God only knows what'll happen afterwards.

Fuu: But that's still a gamble in the end!

Aka: Haah, haah, haah... Yuuki-chan, what was our time just now?

Yuu: Hmm, not that different from last time.

Ren: Miroku didn't feel much of a response either... This might be troublesome.

Aka: What are we doing wrong? We're chanting the rhythm, too.

Kar: And you were still weirdly off-beat. Takashima, what did you think?

Tak: The two of you use your bodies pretty differently, so I think it might be more than just a matter of chanting...

Yuu: Ah, that's right. Why don't you try squeezing closer together?

Aka: Squeezing... Renchi, how is it? Good to go?

Ren: Let's see... Miroku feels a bit uncomfortable moving. For Miroku, around this much should...

Ren: How about this, Yuuna?

Aka: Hmm, the last one worked better for me...

Kar: You two are really bad at agreeing on things. Things are going to be tough at this rate.

Aka: But we're rivals, so... Right, Renchi?

Ren: Heh. Yuuna, stand tall. That's what Miroku's rival should act like.

Kar: Now look here. You're running in the three-legged race, so forget about the rival thing for a while...

Yuu: Trouble! The Forestization alarm!

Kar: Oh come on, at a time like this! The neutral god is merciless.

Ren: Heh. But this won't make Miroku flinch. Let's go, Yuuna. We'll talk about the three-legged race later.

Aka: Yeah, alright. We have to take the Vertexes down first!
