Hachiken collapsed?!

Why?

They don't know yet,

but it sounds like he was working himself too hard.

Tokiwa found him this morning

when he showed up to walk the dog.

The paramedics weren't acting like his life was danger, right?

Yeah...

My, my, my.

I came all the way here because I heard there'd be a jumping event,

but the arena's so tiny!

It seems it wasn't worth my coming here, Mikage Aki!

And, Jyuuhachiken...

Wait, where is he?

No one here by that name.

Nope.

What?

He collapsed?

What an idiot!

He's not taking proper care of himself!

Yeah, you're right, but...

He was just doing his best!

He was trying really hard to make the event a success!

Arguing here won't really accomplish anything.

We shouldn't let the horses sense how anxious we are.

Or the horses might get anxious, too.

"I want to show how cool horses are."

"I want people to have fun."

Ayame-chan!

What?

I'd like your help.

Please.

Oh, hey, Dad?

Sorry if I'm bothering you at work.

I'm at Ezonoo right now.

Can you have my horse, DeRoyal, and my riding gear sent over?

Fall Chapter Episode 6 Mikage Gives It Her All

Fifty daikon radishes, please.

Done!

Sold Out

Smoked chicken's sold out!

Aww...

Want shaved ice from the karate club?!

Hup!

Where am I...

Are you awake?

You're in the hospital.

You don't have to get up!

What... happened to me?

You fainted from fatigue.

Fainted?

What's the date and time?

September 30th, 1:20 PM.

I have to go!

All right. Don't be a superhero.

You can't go home today.

You'll recover quickly because you're still young,

but you have to rest right now.

That's the nurse call button if you need anything.

The bathroom's out the hall and all the way to the right.

Um...

Did anyone visit me while I was out?

Oh, there was someone.

He looked like a school teacher.

He left a note for you.

I'll visit again later. -Sakuragi

Any students?

Nope, no one.

I need to pee...

Wow!

I've only seen horses in a normal race.

This feels new!

Looks really fun!

Next up is a guest competitor from West Shimizu High School.

Minamikujou-san and DeRoyal.

Wow!

What a show!

How's she staying on her horse?!

She still doesn't give a damn about the rules...

You're over time.

What?

Too bad!

It seems the time for you to behold my beauty is over.

I want more!

You haven't even jumped half of them!

Thank you, thank you!

That was fun!

Good job!

More applause, please!

Hey, can I go yet?

Next up is Ookawa-kun and Ebisu.

Start.

Oh, a refusal!

Oh, another one!

The horse stopped twice, so I guess that's a disqualification.

Yeah.

Ookawa-kun and Ebisu have been disqualified.

Oh, they still jumped even after being disqualified.

But they didn't jump the remaining gates and left.

They were disqualified, right?

Yeah, that's what the rules say.

But if you leave without jumping the obstacle,

the horse might lose his confidence.

He might think he's useless and become scared of jumping.

So if there's time to spare,

they do their best to give the horse another chance.

Good job!

That sucked!

But I guess there are bad days.

That tells the horse that he can still jump, even after failing.

It seems Ooezo Agricultural High School isn't a good fit for you.

You can't even maintain your own health.

And this is the school you chose?

Wh-Who gave you the right to decide

whether it's a good fit for me?

Sure, it's tough when there's a lot of manual labor involved,

b-but I'm glad I came to Ezonoo.

I see.

You've always liked studying books.

I figured having you attend a school where you could

do what you liked would be best for you.

At prep school,

I couldn't help but think of my classmates as competitors.

I hated that!

At Ezonoo, everyone does things at their own pace,

so I don't have to think that way.

I made a lot of friends I can just relax and have fun with!

Is that because you don't have to worry about them outscoring you?

Maybe you're just relieved because a part of you is looking down on them.

And have any of those friends come to visit you?

Oh, Hachiken!

Should you be up yet?

Sensei!

This is my father.

This is my homeroom teacher, Sakuragi-sensei.

Thank you for taking care of my son.

I'm Sakuragi, his homeroom teacher.

I am sorry this happened

because of insufficient oversight on our part.

Indeed.

I have been informed that he collapsed due to fatigue

from the school festival preparations.

You allowed a student at a learning institution

to collapse from activities unrelated to his studies.

Do you realize how preposterous that is?

You are entirely correct.

If only I had been able to be more careful about Hachiken-kun's health,

this could have been avoided.

I-I'm the one who collapsed!

He has nothing to do with this!

No, I do.

Your father is correct.

Hachiken, you were working so hard on making preparations.

I'm sorry I couldn't make sure you got to be at the festival.

Think of this as an opportunity.

Get checked over from head to toe.

Get discharged only after you're fully recovered.

I'm going home now.

I've asked Misako to handle the rest.

Mom's here, too?

But you've come all this way.

Why not stay a while longer—

I have work to do.

I'll be going now.

Dad!

You don't seem to like the fact that I came to Ezonoo,

but the bacon...

The bacon I made...

You said it was good!

You accepted it!

Bacon?

Oh, that.

What do you mean, I accepted it?

I didn't make any comments about how it tasted.

Sensei, please take good care of my son.

Oh... Yes!

What is this?!

Human Banba. Didn't you know?

I do, but...

Oh, Komaba Ichirou.

Hey, been a while.

Wait, why are you the rider?!

What?

But no one else would do it.

I'll be the rider for this one, then!

There's no way I'd be...

the "horse"...

Start!

That horse is so huge!

Go, humans!

Good going!

Hey! Pull your weight!

We're falling behind Mikage Aki!

Easy for you to say!

Guys, if you win,
