"These days, no matter what I'm doing" "His face keeps popping up" "Twenty-four hours is chock-full of time" "But he's tied it all up" "Now, I'm gonna start working" "But he always gets in my way" "I'm a really, really, really, really hard worker" "But I was already under his spell" "No matter what I'm doing, I can't help but think about him" "And my mind is filled with him" "I just can't do anything now unless he's there for me" "He's always there inside me, me, me, me, me, me, me" "(Second Semester)" "Man, we sure had a lot of fun this summer!" "But I still don't feel like we had enough fun." "You're so lucky, Miyu, you have a boyfriend." "I was alone again this summer after all." "Aya, how are you doing?" "With Otohata, the mole's poked her head out from her burrow, right?" "Say, even if you are a mole, you should come out to look at the sun once in a while." "Yeah, you're right." "I shouldn't stay underground all the time, just because I'm a mole." "Well, I went near the record store that Otohata works at, but I didn't know what I would say if I saw him, so in the end..." "Oh, come on, for real?" "I asked you this at Odaiba too, but it's not like Otohata said he doesn't like you, right?" "If he said he didn't like me, I'd be in bed at home right now!" "Quit doing that pure girl thing!" "It's giving me goosebumps!" "I think there's hope in that case, you know." "Really?" "But I haven't caught sight of Otohata these past couple of days." "Oh, I saw him DJ'ing at the CD store, HWV." "Really?" "Information fee," "I kinda don't have my summer break homework done." "Ran, I thought you got Second Place to help you out yesterday." "The thing is, I forgot my math notebook..." "Naka-teach..." "Kotobuki!" "Certain Victory " " Go!" "Go!" "" " Sports Fest" "Aya, this is the place where Otohata's DJ'ing." "Entry prohibited!" "Kotobuki prohibited!" "Approaching Rei is super-prohibited!" "I see you're here, Tan Face Trio." "Prohibited!" "Prohibited!" "Super-prohibited!" "Prohibited!" "Shuddup!" "Rei is so cool!" "Who's that?" "Beats me." "Crushed!" "What's with that girl?" "Uber pissed!" "Aya?" "Aya!" "Here." "Then I'll take it!" "Ran, you're so insensitive!" "Honestly!" "Looks like I've been definitively rejected." "Hey, come on, are you getting all blue again?" "Don't tell me you've decided that girl is Otohata's girlfriend?" "But..." "I've never seen him smile like that when he's talking to a girl." "In the end, an introverted girl like me is surely just a burden for Otohata." "Well, of course." "I bet not many guys would go for a wallflower like you." "I'm not you!" "I can't be positive all the time like you are!" "How can you say such mean things to me when you know that already?" "!" "I'm being totally honest with you because we're good friends!" "Do you like yourself the way you are, always badmouthing yourself?" "!" "I hate it." "Aya, you're asking for too much if you want someone to like you when you don't even like yourself." "First, you have to get to like yourself." "And then, always be honest when you go for it." "Those are the ironclad rules for gals, right?" "Ran..." "A girl's gotta have guts!" "Go for it before you start brooding over it!" "A girl's gotta have guts." "I can't hear you!" "But you know, Ran really doesn't have much in the way of problems." "Now that you mention it, you're right." "Don't be stupid, I've got problems too." "I lost one of my favorite faux nails recently." "I missed "Shibuyan" on TV yesterday." "And I don't get enough allowance." "Let's see, what else?" "I guess that's about it." "Do those count as problems?" "What about your summer break homework?" "Well, we suddenly went on an overseas trip and I participated in the Running of the Bulls in Spain!" "But the bull I grabbed onto went wild, ran all the way to India, and charged into the Ganges River, where I ended up adrift, and I finally drifted into Tokyo Bay this morning!" "Exclusively for Ran Kotobuki" "You can't make it back from the Ganges River to Tokyo Bay in one day!" "Really, I don't know how you come up with these stupid excuses time and time again." "So?" "Why did you really forget to do your summer break homework?" "I was goofing off." "Your teacher just sincerely wants you to advance to the next grade." "Cheer up, Naka-Teach." "Life has its ups and downs, you know?" "I don't want to hear that from you!" "I'm against violence!" "Hey..." "Don't run in the hallway." "Excuse us, Mr. Gunjo." "Just the man I wanted to see." "Here's the daily class practice schedule for the sports fest." "Oh, thank you." "Is it me, or does your class get a rather large share of time on the field?" "What of it?" "Well, it would have been nice if you had asked about our preference beforehand." "Pardon me for that." "It's just that, unlike my class, which wins every single year, your class somehow comes in last every year, so I couldn't help it." "Quit jumping to conclusions." "Kotobuki, watch your language." "Mr. Nakanishi, it must be tough to be the homeroom teacher of such a problem child." "Well, please notify me of your schedule preferences later." "What the hell is up with his attitude?" "!" "Uber pissed!" "The sports fest..." "I'd love to win it just once before I retire." "I've visited shrines, eaten cutlet bowls, and bought good luck pendants, but none of it ever worked." "Naka-Teach..." "If I get our class to win, would you forget about my summer break homework?" "Win?" "!" "Your P.E. grade certainly was head and shoulders above the rest." "And you've got leadership skills too." "All right, I'll consider it!" "For real?" "!" "All right!" "Leave this upcoming sports fest to the victory contractor, Ran Kotobuki!" "The crown of victory shall rest upon the brows of Year 1, Class 2!" "The spoon relay's gonna be Mizunuma!" "Next, there's the three-legged race." "We'll need two people in tune with each other." "Isn't Ran super-fired up?" "Sports fest, what a pain." "It's settled!" "Rie and Satsuki!" "Us?" "!" "All that's left is the girls' class relay." "It's the last event and the point value is high, so we can't afford to lose that one." "I'll be the anchor, of course!" "And Miyu, you up for it?" "Okay!" "Running is one of Miyu's strong points too!" "You can count on me!" "That leaves one more..." "Me!" "Aya?" "For real?" "Oh, Ran, I knew you were really into it." "Now, I know why." "He'll forget about my homework!" "Of course, I'd get all into it!" "But man, you surprised me, Aya." "You said that a girl's gotta have guts, remember?" "I should talk to Otohata about what happened the other day, but I just keep brooding over it." "So, I made a promise to myself." "If I can win the relay, I might get the courage to talk to Otohata." "Aya..." "Was it inconvenient?" "No way!" "It'll work out better when all three people get along!" "That's right!" "Even if you're a little slow, we'll cover for you, so leave it to us!" "Okay!" "By the way, that omelet looks good!" "Gimme!" "It's majorly good!" "Well, you know, Bro said that your omelets are good, so..." "What?" "!" "Really?" "!" "Oh, Yamato!" "Listen up!" "Our class is gonna win this year's sports fest, no matter what!" "What we need to win is unity, support, and a fiery spirit!" "And our catchphrase is..." "Guys gotta have guts!" "And girls gotta have guts too!" "Ran, why are you so fired up about this?" "Isn't it kinda lame to be getting fired up like this?" "There's definitely something to this!" "Ran?" "The truth is, Naka-Teach is sick." "So, I thought he might get better if we won the sports fest." "Naka-Teach is sick?" "I had no idea." "It started when his case of athlete's foot got aggravated!" "Sorry for being late!" "What's wrong, everyone?" "Mr. Nakanishi, we'll win, no matter what!" "What's our catchphrase?" "!" "Guys gotta have guts!" "And girls gotta have guts too!" "You guys..." "All right!" "Let's all do our best!" "Right!" "Success!" "Isn't that overdoing it a little?" "But the class is unified now..." "The starting sprint is vital." "That's an ironclad rule for the 100m dash!" "Make your heart as one and roll the ball!" "That's an ironclad rule for ball-rolling!" "Never show your back to your opponent and attack from any direction except from the front!" "That's an ironclad rule for the cavalry battle!" "Ready?" "!" "Go!" "A girl's gotta have guts." "Aya!" "Aya, don't worry, don't worry!" "That's right!" "Okay!" "Ready," "Go!" "Goal!" "I thought I hadn't seen Ran around much." "So, this is why." "Ran, fight!" "Rah!" "Rah!" "Ran-pyon!" "Tatsukichi?" "Oh, brother!" "A girl's gotta have guts." "Aya!" "Aya!" "Aya!" "Ran!" "Off I go!" "Goal!" "This is youth." "Class 2 certainly is enthusiastic this year." "Mr. Gunjo..." "But I find your decision to make that problem child the captain rather questionable." "It's true that it isn't entirely uncontroversial, but Kotobuki is very popular among the kids in the class." "I suppose all I can say is that it's very like you, since your teaching principle is to let them be free and unrestrained." "Well, it will probably be impossible for you to win, but you just do your best." "Why, that Gunjo!" "It's finally tomorrow." "Ran, Miyu, thank you." "Aya, you showed a good deal of guts out there." "You made a promise after all." "You can make a go at Otohata after the sports fest." "Take your honest feelings and go for it!" "Okay!" "Ran!" "Hey!" "It feels so good!" "That's the Second Place I know!" "Always so thoughtful!" "You'll come see us at the sports fest tomorrow, right?" "They're having fireworks after the closing ceremony too!" "Of course!" "Fireworks!" "I love fireworks!" "Of course, I'll come!" "Ook!" "Ook!" "Bring Otohata with you." "Definitely!" "No matter what!" "I plan to." "But did something happen?" "Actually, it's got to do with Aya." "Kotobuki sure is a busybody." "Why didn't you make it clear to her?" "Aya's definitely mistaken her as your girlfriend!" "Come on, you definitely ought to go to tomorrow's sports fest!" "Maybe I will go." "You should meet with Aya and clear up the misunderstanding!" "I said I'd go, okay?" "What?" "For real?" "Make tomorrow a clear day." "(20th Hounan High School Sports Fest)" "Year 1, Class 2, certain victory!" "What's our catchphrase?" "!" "Guys gotta have guts!" "And girls gotta have guts too!" "Mr. Nakanishi, we'll win, no matter what!" "You guys..." "This is youth!" "You will not win it with enthusiasm alone." "I'm sorry for being late, Sir!" "You've grown soft, Takazawa." "What's the captain doing coming late?" "!" "I'm sorry, Sir!" "Ready!" "Set!" "Easy win!" "Ran!" "The best in Japan!" "Rei sure is late." "What the heck?" "I got the answering machine." "What's our catchphrase?" "!" "Guys gotta have guts!" "And girls gotta have guts too!" "First place goes to Year 1, Class 2!" "They did it!" "How about it?" "!" "Class 2 is a little different this year!" "It appears you will at least avoid coming in dead last this year." "Next up is the scavenger race!" "Second Place!" "Run!" "Ook?" "She picked me over Tatsukichi for the scavenger race!" "Could that mean..." "Could that mean..." "What does the card for the scavenger race say?" "It says, "serious boyfriend"." "Oh, Second Place..." "I mean, Yuya," "I'm sorry for confessing to you like this!" "Ran..." "Yuya!" "Ran..." "Yuya!" "This is it!" "This has got to be it!" "Second Place, thanks." "You were a great help." ""Someone wearing a necklace"?" "Here we go, guys!" "Ran Kotobuki of Class 2 is on a tear!" "She is grabbing headband after headband off her opponents!" "Class 2 and Class 4 each only have one unit left!" "Got it!" "Class 2 has gained yet another victory with their teamwork!" "Amazing!" "Did you see that, Mr. Gunjo?" "!" "Oh?" "Mr. Gunjo?" "Takazawa, you've grown soft." "I'm sorry, Sir!" "In the final relay..." "Show them the spirit that won you the prefectural championship." "Yes, Sir." "Class 4 is currently leading the first years!" "Will Class 2 win it from behind with the final competition?" "!" "Aya's in this race, what in the world is Rei..." "Rei!" "Ready!" "Set!" "Class 2 is in the lead!" "Followed by Class 4!" "Miyu!" "Pour it on!" "A girl's gotta have guts." "Aya!" "Aya, go for it!" "Go, go, with all you've got!" "Class 4 is closing in on the leader, Class 2!" "I'm sorry!" "Leave it to me!" "Ran Kotobuki is incredibly fast!" "She's passed yet another person!" "And she passed another person!" "Class 2 is fast!" "Go!" "Go for it!" "They're in second place now!" "Just one more person!" "Kotobuki!" "They're neck and neck!" "Impossible!" "Is this for real?" "But I won the prefectural championship." "A girl's gotta have guts!" "Class 2 has come from behind and won!" "You're awesome, Ran-pyon!" "Awesome!" "Ook!" "Ook!" "What a waste." "You had to go and reject a cute girl like that." "You have a bad tendency to be too lazy." "You could learn a thing or two from me." "Say that after you've made Kotobuki yours." "We'll be starting the annual fireworks show now!" "It sure feels good after a victory." "But on the other hand, Naka-Teach and everyone else found out about your lie, so you still have to do your homework." "Hey!" "Don't go assigning incurable diseases to people!" "That's terrible!" "You tricked us!" "Don't mention that." "I feel bad about it." "Ran, Miyu, thank you so much." "You've still got the real thing ahead!" "Ran!" "Ran!" "Hey!" "Aya, a girl's gotta have guts!" "Be honest and go for it!" "Okay!" "Aya..." "Well, that is..." "You're actually a pretty fast runner." "You surprised me." "What is it?" "Hey..." "I'm clumsy and I don't have anything interesting to say, so I thought you didn't like me anymore." "It's not like I said I didn't like you or anything." "Then who was that girl at the store?" "One of the store people." "She just gave me some concert tickets." "I'm so glad." "Why am I explaining this to her?" "You made her cry!" "You made her cry!" "Oh, you heartbreaker!" "It's beautiful." "Happy!" "Happy ending!" "It's probably thanks to the advice I gave him." "I guess it's like taking a step forward, taking two back, and then taking another step forward." "I hate it, you're always laughing" "And so strong and cute and popular" "I hate it, I'm so dull and slow" "And no one needs me..." "You're smart and always so perfect" "People probably just make fun of me" "To be honest, I want to try talking to you" "I want to become friends with you" "I was so envious of you" "And my shoulders would tremble as I cried alone" "Tell me, are you alone and afraid, too?" "Is everyone miserable and weak?" "If only I had more courage" "I would have given you a hug" "Next Super GALS!" "Oden, takoyaki, and chocolate covered bananas!" "Tons and tons of my favorite foods!" "Tons and tons of GL guys too!" "The paradise for gals, a school culture festival!" "Meisho Number 1, where Otohata and Second Place attend, has the highest percentage of GL guys." "It also ranks highest in popularity among gals." "And the great Ran Kotobuki is, of course, number one among gals." "The highlight of the school culture fest, a one-on-one battle between Mami-rin and me!" "The final round is a para-para battle!" "I just can't lose this match!" "Next time on Super GALS!" "Ran Kotobuki," "School Culture Fest " " Para-Para " " Meisho Queen" "Don't you miss it!" "That's an ironclad rule for gals!"
