Sorry for the long wait!!! (shall spare the long story)
NO SCANS this time around! Sorry about that!
Comments are appreciated :)
Continuing from Chapter 82 on the Sports Festival, it was now Jinno-sensei's turn to enter the cosplay machine!!Everyone was anticipating Jinno's cosplay. In the meantime, Hotaru was leading in the run with 5 people catching up with her. Just as the host was annoucing if the positions of the current runners will change after the cosplay, Jinno-sensei emerged from the cosplay machine.
To everyone's surprise+horror (LOL), Jinno-sensei came out with HARDGAY (some Japanese comedian) cosplay!!!!
Jinno-sensei was very pissed. Members of the red team at the side were having little conversations amongst themselves.
"Somehow... i am beginning to feel that the presence of God is not here...
It looks like he is going to be merciless..."
(seems like Tono) , " Jin-Jin... Hardgay.... "
Anonymous A, "Stop laughing, or we'll be punished serverely..."
Tsubasa, " If Red Team is not going to win this race, I guess all of us will be dead,"
Next was Tono's turn to enter the cosplay machine. He emerged with a really cool-looking Pirate Cosplay!!! (He looked really cool in that outfit!) Almost all of the spectators were unhappy about that because it seems that he would be able to reach the goal effortlessly. Just as Tono was about to think that way, and give credits to his good personality, he realised that one of his foot was tied to a weight!
"Excuse me, this is...?" asked Tono.
"Please run together with it," came the reply.
"But i can't move my leg," said Tono.
"Please run together with it," came the reply.
(LOL~ Ganbare, Tono~) The runners began to dash to the goal line leading with,
1- Jinno-sensei [with embarrassment and anger],
2- Hotaru,
3 -Tono (With his weight)
However, Yamauchi over took (or rather, over 'leapt' xD) him with her Rabbit Cosplay, causing the current positions to be,
1 - Jinno-sensei (Hardgay cosplay)
2- Hotaru (Codfish cosplay)
3 - Yamauchi (Rabbit cosplay)
4 - [Baka] Tono (Pirate cosplay with a weight ball)
At this point, Team C of White Team has gotten into trouble with his cosplay. That runner has gotten a Mountain Costume. Upon seeing that, Sumire said,
"Oh no, what should we do now, Ruka-kun?"
Ruka looked worried about the winning because no matter what it takes, he wanted to win this competition.
At the same time, another runner had entered the cosplay machine. It was Misaki-senpai!
"WHAT'S WITH THIS OUTFIT?!"
Misaki-senpai came out in a Devil outfit in the form of a Bikini!! Her appearance stunned everyone! Some students even wanted to take photos of Misaki while Misaki was swearing at them! On the other hand, Tsubasa and even Natsume could not take their eyes of Misaki.
In the mean time, running in the lead, Jinno-sensei, followed by Yamauchi had handed their batons to their partners. Hotaru and Misaki were catching up fast behind.
Misaki attempted to pass Tsubasa her baton, but because of Misaki's appearance, Tsubasa was staring at her so much that he was not able to get the baton from Misaki. Misaki saw that Tsubasa's eyes were on her, she bahed him on his face screaming,
"QUICKLY GET THE BATON! Don't look!"
Hotaru had finally reached Natsume to pass him the baton.
Somehow, the atmostphere between the 2 were not friendly.
Natsume showed a pissed look that said,
"Quickly pass it over to me, dimwit!"
Hotaru got his message, and was pissed altogether. So, instead of passing him the baton, she threw it onto the floor (LOL~! Hotaru! You go girl! ≧▽≦) She 'explained' ,
"You see, because i am dressed like this so it is impossible for me to pick it up for you,"
Natsume was speechless.
At that point of time, runners of the 3rd lane began running with Kitsuneme-kun in the lead, followed by Anonymous Runner and closely following behind, Tsubasa. They have reached the 3rd arena. It appears to be an Ice Pond.
Runners have to cross the pond without using their feet. However, they were allowed to use props provided such as pole or rope, to get across. Once the runner's foot touched the pond, that runner would have to restart the race.
Natsume had caught up with the rest (it's ticklish imagining him bending down to get the baton that Hotaru-chan dropped in purpose xDDD). Yet, Tono has only reached the point to pass on his baton. As he was running (or rather dragging), he told Sakurano breathlessly after the announcement,
"That's... that's great, Sakurano! You can cross over using Teleportation to turn the situation around!"
"Stop talking and run faster, useless guy," said Sakurano reading a book titled, "Ikari no Sakuranbo" [The Angered Cherry] (<< most likely to be referring to himself xD)
Back to the where everyone was... (LOL~)
Kitsuneme-kun leapt over the entire pond with the least effort. While the 2nd runner-up tried to cross over using bamboo sticks but fell over. The time was 12 noon, with a sun burning hot in the sky. Apparently, Tsubasa was not making any moves. Just as the announcer felt that it was weird, he realised that Tsubasa was trying to get over the pond with his Shadow ALICE. And he got over the pond very cooly controlling shadows~ xD
Everyone was awed by his marvellous control of his ALICE. Even the sponsors were so impressed that they clapped. Mikan was very impressed by Tsubasa too.
Just as Misaki-senpai was praising Tsubasa for his good work, Natsume came 'flying' over from behind, knocking him on the head with his knee. Apparently, Natsume jumped over the pond with the help of a long pole. It was totally unexpected. Natsume had changed the flow of the runner's position. The current position was now,
1 - Natsume (the announcer seemed to be unhappy about it because he sweared >.<)
2 - Kitsuneme-kun
3 - (Staggering) Tsubasa
Finally, Sakurano and Ruka had caught up! It was their turns to cross over the pond.
Sakurano cleared that station with his Teleportation ALICE while Ruka called over his eagle to help him cross over.
Both of them finally were able to catch up with the rest.
The current positions of the runners were
1- Natsume
2 - Tsubasa (closely behind)
The both of them reached the last station almost at the same time.
Meanwhile, Ruka was starting to get discouraged. He felt that he was not able to catch up after all. At that point of time, he fell.
"Ruka-pyon!" shouted Mikan.
Ruka looked over and remembered the line, "Let's work hard for this together!"
He picked himself to his feet and continued running.
Over at the last station, it turned out that runners have to bring a certain animal to the goal line in the way of drawing lots. And our Natsume got himself the GIANT PYO!!! (LOL~~~)
And of course, Natsume was pissed at that result. He kicked (gently) at Pyo telling him to go but Pyo seemed to be unwilling to move. Just then, the announcer said,
"Hyuuga-kun, Pyo looks like he doesn't want to do it, please stop it,"
In the meantime...
'Tsubasa, what animal did you get?" asked Misaki-senpai.
"Let me see.... Monkey. In that case, i shall use shadow ALICE and..."
But it turned out that the monkey was TOO FAST for Tsubasa to use his ALICE on it!!!!
The other runners got:
Kitsuneme-kun → Mr. Bear
Kitsuneme-kun escaped once he saw his result. That sent Jinno blasting at him (LOL~~~)
Sakurano → Pig
That pig was reluctant to walk with strangers... (Poor Sakurano...)
Anonymous Runner → Snake
That snake was too fierce for him (>0<~)
Finally, Ruka had reached the final station. He got 'Horse' for his animal.
It turned out to be a very violent and untamed ROBOTIC HORSE!
Ruka was totally speechless to hear the word, "Robot" from the announcer.
Just then, the mic was turned off while the announcers talked in private.
Announcer in Cat costume: Umm.. can i ask, is it ok to use robots?
Announcer in Bunny costume: No worries~ Even it is robot, its heart still belongs to an animal~ Just like Mr. Bear!
Announcer in Cat costume: Oh.. i see..
Announcer in Bunny costume: Speaking of which, i wonder how would the students of this academy would think..
Announcer in Cat costume: I wonder too...
The horse began kicking around that he almost hit Ruka while the other runners were trying their best to bring their animals to the goal.
Ruka sensed that the horse was not fierce in nature. That horse was only frightened and wanted to return to where he was originally. Ruka thought that instead of bringing him to the goal, he knew he had to first calm the horse.
Ruka communicated to the horse that it is going to be alright and that there is nothing to be afraid of. Somehow, Ruka's voice had reached the other animals too. Pyo went over to the horse, telling it that it would be all right.
The horse was finally calmed and he allowed Ruka to sit on his back. All of a sudden, all the animals were surrounding Ruka and accompanying him to the goal.
The announcers were surprised at what they saw.
Eventually, Ruka headed to the goal line and became the Champion of the race!! (YAY~!)
Ruka was still feeling lost. He asked himself, had i won?
Many people crowded around him congratulating for his Championship. He was looking for Mikan. He finally saw her. He shouted, "Sakura!"
He thought, for the first time, I became number 1 in front of Sakura.
Mikan smiled back at him.
The second place was Red Group, Team A followed by Red Group Team B ^0^
Just as Natsume was looking at that group where Ruka and Mikan were, a voice came from behind,
"[Making fond memories], i shall accept that and shall not interupt them then,"
"You..." said Natsume.
"Yes. Don't be childish. Isn't it good? Why don't you just let that 2 of them be together like this for now? " said Luna.
"Heh..?"
"Anyway, they will be pulled apart by destiny afterall..."continued Luna.
END OF CHAPTER 83
CHATPER 84 WILL BE RELEASED ON 4 AUG, HANAYUME NO.17
