The first game is over!

I won! Rina-chan Board says, “Serious!”

[Fade in/out.]

Hey, look!

Is that…Rina-chi?

So Rina entered the tournament. She's amazing!

Next up, we'll start the second game!

And it looks like she's steadily advancing, zura.

Should we cheer for her?

Yeah!

RINA!

GO FOR—

Wait just a moment there!

Whoa! You?!

You scared us, zura!

Sorry for startling you! But could you guys hold off on cheering for Rina?

Huh? Why?

Well, because… Uh…

We want to let her focus on the game.

Focus?

Yup. Focus.

Yeah, exactly! So we've decided to just watch her quietly.

I see.

You have a point, zura.

So how about we wait until after the tournament to call out to her?

Okay, I got it.

Understood, zura.

Phew… Nice save, Kotori. I knew I could count on you.

Hmm? You, did something happen?

Huh? No, nothing!

Oh really? You're not hiding anything?

Nope, not really… Not exactly, anyway.

Hmm, I see. That's fine then.

Ahahaha… Come on, Nozomi!

(That Nozomi sure is a sharp one!)

Now we've done what we can. The one last thing we can do is—

Cheer for her like this.

Go for it, Rina. I hope your feelings reach her!
