Tsubaki: I'll give this back to you then. This time, don't lie to yourself and treasure it.

<Fade out, fade in>



Delicate-Looking Delinquent: Haah... Haah... I should hurry home and wash this.

Gaudy Man: ... Yo, what're you in a hurry for?

Delicate-Looking Delinquent: —!? S-Seniors...!?

Rugged Man: What a coincidence.

Delicate-Looking Delinquent: Y-Yeah.

Man Wearing a Hat: ... Hm? What's that you're holding in your hand?

Delicate-Looking Delinquent: Hii—!?

Gaudy Man: Oi, oi, didn't ya say you were moving on from stuffed animals? Could it be... you lied to me?

Delicate-Looking Delinquent: Gh—...!

Gaudy Man: Looks like we need to teach this guy a lesson!

<Fade out, fade in>



Tsubaki: A~lright then, they gave us a little break, but... Sakura, is there anywhere you'd like to go?

Sakura: Not really.

Tsubaki: Are you sure? There's even a food truck that's making fried chicken, though.

Sakura: ...... Where's that at?

Woman A: Hey, what happened just now was totally crazy, huh?

Woman B: Oh, that with the guy carrying a stuffed animal, right?

Sakura: ... Hm?

Woman A: He was surrounded by a bunch of people and taken somewhere...

Tsubaki: —!?

Excuse me, that situation... Can you tell me a little more about it?

<Fade out, fade in>



Gaudy Man: Ha!

Delicate-Looking Delinquent: Guhah—!

Rugged Man: How dare you look down on us!

Man Wearing a Hat: Hurry up and throw away that freaky stuffed animal!

Delicate-Looking Delinquent: —! I'm... I'm not gonna ignore my passion anymore!

Gaudy Man: You're a stubborn asshole, huh! I've had enough!

???: Well I've had enough of you bastards!

Rugged Man: Ghf—!?

Man Wearing a Hat: Who's that!?

Sakura: I'm Furin High School's Sakura Haruka.

Tsubaki: Likewise... I'm Furin High School's Tsubaki Tasuku.

Gaudy Man: Furin High School?

Outsiders should shut it. This is an issue for our team only!!

Tsubaki: What's the issue? Why are you interfering with what he loves?

Gaudy Man: Heh, naturally we would! If he keeps up that lame-ass hobby, it's gonna affect the rest of the group's dignity.

Man Wearing a Hat: Besides, it's for this guy's sake, too. So he doesn't make himself a laughingstock 'cause of his lame hobbies.

Gaudy Man: Hahahahaha!

Tsubaki: ......

Sakura: Lame this, lame that... You're way too damn annoying.

Tsubaki: He's cooler than you all, at the very least. Not like you, who can only deny things, right?

Man Wearing a Hat: What'd ya say?

Gaudy Man: I'll make sure you can't open that cheeky mouth of yours again! Ha!

......!? Are you serious!? This guy... didn't even budge!?

Tsubaki: Even if I told you directly, you probably wouldn't understand, so... I'll teach you first-hand. This is the strength of someone who sticks to what they love.

Let's go, Sakura!

Sakura: Got it!

Notes:

• as always, my japanese is not native-level and thus is prone to error! please understand this is a fan translation.
• the "gaudy man" is really saying "ora/おら" every time he goes "ha!", as in the sound of exerting effort into a punch or strike. i don't truthfully know how to translate it, so i went with "ha!". just imagine he's going "orrra" if you want the True Windbreaker Experience
