HANEBADO! (はねバド！)

The Inter-High prelims are upon us!

Dig in there like it's the real thing, okay?

Game. 21-13. 21-15.

Isehara.

Gaku, you're on fire!

You might make it to the Inter-High this year!

Hey, don't talk like it's not your business.

It's totally my business!

We've been playing together since elementary school.

So I really want Gaku to get to the Inter-High this year!

But I wish I could've beaten him at least once...

It's just, with feints and judgment like yours, you've got a real shot!

It's a bit awkward, isn't it?

Nagisa-senpai and Ayanon.

Oh, them?

I can't believe the finals will be two girls from our school.

Ayanon's still acting weird, too.

Okay!

Let's pack it in for the day.

Jeg ventede et øjeblik!

I came to finish things, Ayano.

Connie from FreGirls?

Why'd she come all the way from Miyagi?

Hey, weren't they having their prelims around now?

Yeah.

Oh, we finished those last weekend.

Our Inter-High representatives are Connie and me.

Wow! FreGirls really is a great school!

Huh?!

Shiwahime-san, you're here, too?

Hey. Sorry to intrude.

We promised, remember?

Ayano...

This time, we'll have our one-on-one...

What?

I can see...

See what?

Darn it! You idiot!

They're surprisingly cute.

It'll be a one-set match.

"What I Want Us To Be Is Not 'Friends'"

C'mon, let's go!

Connie. That's not the way.

I don't mind.

Hey, Ayano!

You've got finals coming up.

My racket bag's...

Wei-Wei...

My Wei-Wei!

Why did you put it there?!

What's a Wei-Wei?

Let's go.

You can just glue it back, right?

That's not the point!

Hanesaki-san.

Why not skip the match and go here?

Wei-Wei is Coming! You might meet some rare characters!

We can find you a replacement Wei-Wei there.

Let's go!

Yeah, Wei-Wei!

Hey! Ayano!

Shiwahime-san.

Letting Ayano and Connie hang out feels a little...

Forget Mom.

I don't need her anymore.

Wei-Wei!

Don't worry.

I'll make sure they're okay.

Ayano! Let's have a match!

Connie.

What did you come here for?

But I already got changed...

Well, we're borrowing Hanesaki-san!

See you later!

Don't be out too late!

I'm going, too!

Whew. It feels like a storm passed us by...

Will they be okay?

Fujisawa's with them. They should be fine.

No point in worrying, anyway.

Yeah, guess not.

Anyway, let's get home and prepare for our match!

Sure.

Let's stop somewhere on the way home!

More frankfurters?

Riko, help me out.

Guess so! But you like them, too, right?

S-Sure.

Hey.

Aragaki, you need to get home and rest, too.

I just want to fine-tune a few things.

It's a whale...

But it's so fluffy...

Let's play with Wei-Wei!

Oh, is that what whale sharks are about?

But sharks are fish!

Whales are mammals!

It's a rather novel design, isn't it?

I've had enough of this kid stuff.

Hey, Wei-Wei! Pose!

Cute!

Not what I'd call that!

Elena, take a picture!

It's actually creepy!

Fine, fine.

Go! Grab it!

Will it work? Will it work?

I lost!

You're hopeless.

Come on, let someone else in.

Just one more time!

Everyone's waiting! Go on, move aside.

Fujisawa-san, I think this one's gettable.

Which one?

No, the one next to that...

Yes, that one.

Shiwahime-san. So close!

Winner

Winner?

Okay!

Congratulations!

It's huge!

This is your prize, the Wei-Wei backpack!

I so don't want that...

Well, you won it, so why not take it home?

I'm sure you could exchange—

So lucky!

Hanesaki-san, do you want it?

Do you mean it? Hooray!

What is it?

Connie-chan.

Where have you been?

Look at this!

Shiwahime-san won it on her first try!

I just got lucky.

It's mine now!

Make sure to thank her.

Thank you!

It's not like I could take it home, anyway.

Hey, have you guys ever cosplayed?

Wei-Wei's Cosplay Changing Room! Girls Only!

Elena, help me!

You're hopeless.

Come over here!

You should do that much yourself.

But... Well...

It's cute, I guess.

One, two!

Can I have half?

Whale-shaped meat buns?

Okay!

It's not really my style.

Let's eat!

Wei-Wei!

It really is Wei-Wei everywhere.

It's so good!

Want a bite?

Maybe I'll buy us some drinks.

Would you care to join me, Fujisawa-san?

Sure...

See you guys in a bit.

Later!

Wei-Wei Festival

Thanks so much.

I haven't seen Ayano have so much fun in a long time.
