Auspicious bustle of the first sunrise - 1-4H Wak: (And so, the hanetsuki tournament began.) Wak: (A series of fervent back-and-forths. Friendship. Effort. Victory...) Wak: (And soon, it was time for the final match.) [Beach] Hin: Wakaba-chan and Sonoko-san made it until the last round. SON: A showdown between members of the Nogi family members, crossing through generations! Wak: Indeed. But we had to go through many fierce battles to get here... Fuu: Yeah... I never imagined Yuuna would have such a killer move... Yuu: Someone from the tennis club taught it to me! Kar: Kuh... My serves have 108 forms, but I couldn't show them all... [1] Meb: Nothing in the rules for hanetsuki says dual-wielding is forbidden, so I did that... But lost. Chi: Hard to believe you people are actually talking about hanetsuki here. Anz: Indoors people like me and Chikage-san are ill-suited for this kind of competition. Tam: I'm an outdoors kind of person, but I lost... Suz: Tamako-san, you've got height issues, so you're weak to high serves... Tam: What was that!? Suzume, you aren't very tall either! Suz: Gyargh, low tackles are strong! Yum: Oh, the final match is about to start. Wak: Here I come, Sonoko! SON: Gotcha! Wak: Hmph! SON: Take that! Fuu: It's been an hour... But it's still continuing. The rally is still continuing! Wak: But this is where it ends! Nogi style serve! SON: Then I'll do it too. Nogi style volley! Hin: Two more hours have passed... I'm sure everyone must be hungry, so I made udon. Yuunas: Yay! Wak: Nogi style smash! SON: Nogi style snake cut! Tam: Does hanetsuki usually last this long? Anz: I think the rally doesn't even continue more than ten hits normally... Chi: Can we go home yet?.. SON: Ah! Its: Ah, Sonoko-san tripped! Wak: Here it goes! SON: How naive! Nogi style moonsault receive! Fuu: Whaaaat!? She managed to hit it back while spinning from that position!? Wak: Guh! I can't reach it! SON: I did it! I won! Wak: Haah... I lost. I lost in a competition. Looks like the fortune was true. Hin: Wakaba-chan... Wak: But the other parts of the fortune match up too. Hin: Huh? Wak: The "a lot of luck" part. I might've lost, but I had a lot of fun today. SON: Me too! It was fun to play so much! Wak: And besides! Things might've went according to the fortune today, but nothing says they have to next time! Wak: If I put in enough effort, I'll be able to change the future, fate be damned! I'll begin training in hanetsuki immediately! Chi: You're a musclebrain, aren't you... But I suppose acting on your beliefs like that isn't a bad thing. === Notes: 1 - A reference to Prince of Tennis.
