The champion of our sports battle is…Rina Tennoji!

Congratulations, Rina!

What an amazing turn-around we just witnessed! I'm incredibly impressed!

Thanks, everyone. Rina-chan Board says, “All smiles.”

So what was it you did at the end there, with that huge burst of speed? Can pocketbikes accelerate that fast?

Not the pocketbikes here, no. That was because I used my Rina-chan Booster, a propulsion booster I brought with me, just in case I needed it.

What…did you just say?

Oh yeah, partway through the race I saw Rina attaching something to her bike. Was that the…booster thingy?

That's not fair! Of course she's gonna win if she has something like that!

There was no rule against using tools.

Nooo… Then next time, I'm gonna stick one of those on my bike too!

Rina really came prepared for anything! I'm surprised, but not shocked at all.

What in the world kind of scenario were you preparing for? Did you know we'd be competing with pocketbikes?

Now it's time to announce the prize you're all so curious about! The deluxe prize that our champion, Rina, will receive is… A one-night luxury package stay at Hotel Ohara!

Oooh!

Hotel Ohara… You mean Mari's fancy family hotel?! Oh wow! That really is a deluxe prize!

You really did put a lot of thought into this… Right up until the last minute, I was sure you'd just made up there being a prize.

Eli, you're so, so mean to me! I would never lie!

You lied about there being a cat.

That was an unavoidable lie so I could win the battle… I need you to understand how rough it was for me!

And yet you overtook us with glee.

If the championship prize is a stay at your hotel where you live, then…what would you have done if you won, Mari?

If I'd won, I planned to make each of you do me one favor. Like accompany me to a buffet full of the world's delicacies, or go to see the night lights of Las Vegas!

Um… A hotel room sounds fun too, but… I'd like to stay in your room, Mari.

My room?

Yeah. I don't want to stay as a guest, but, umm…as your friend. I want to stay up all night talking.

Oh, Rina! All right, sure! Come have a sleepover at my place! It doesn't have to be just one night, you can stay as long as you want!

I still have school, so I think just one night is enough… But thanks, I'm excited.

When will you come? Next week? No, come tonight! Let's go to my place after this! I'll call the chopper and we'll fly straight to Awashima!

Hold on now, I think that's a bit sudden. She's not ready for a sleepover.

We can just prepare everything once we're there. Oh, I know! Let's all go!

Y-You mean us?!

A sleepover with everyone! That sounds really fun! Rina-chan Board says, “Woo-hoo!”

Then it's settled! We're having a slumber party tonight!

Hold on! Listen to me, both of you!
