Classes are held during the day, and in the afternoon, the sports day is practiced for the sports day, and in mid to late May, the students of the prefectural Tsu High School spend most of their day at school.

In the blink of an eye, the end of the month, the sports meeting is just around the corner.

It takes place on Thursday and Friday, the last full week of May, and lasts for two days.

Most of the competitions are divided into knockout rounds and finals, and after all the competitions, there is a recognition ceremony for the top scoring class in each grade in the gymnasium.

Wednesday, the day before the sports day.

At noon, Naruse ate a bento and had just returned from buying a drink, when he almost bumped into Ito, who came out of the classroom, at the door.

"Wow, Naruse...... It's just right, you're fine, right? Come with me. ”

"Where are you going?"

"The conference room on the second floor."

Naruse was stunned, "What are you going to do?" ”

"The draw for the games. Tsurumomachi, the executive committee member of the girls' sports day, didn't come today, I wanted to go to the chairman, but she didn't know where to go, so come with me. ”

"Are you okay?"

"Just draw lots, what can be the problem."

"Then you wait for me."

Naruse gestured to him for the few bottles of drinks he was holding.

Glancing at the group of girls in the corner of the classroom, Itoo nodded.

"I'll be waiting for you at the door."

Taking the drink over, Naruse opened his bottle of juice first and took a sip.

"I've got something."

He gave a brief explanation to a few people.

"Draw a good lot." Morimi looked at him and said.

"Looking forward to it."

"If you lose, it's your responsibility."

"Hehehe......"

Outside, I followed Ito to the conference room on the second floor, where the executive committee members of the other classes in the second grade were almost there.

There are two people in each class, one male and one executive committee member.

"--Why are there two men in Class A, and there are no girls?"

Naruse and Ito Yu, following the prestige, both laughed.

"yes. Thirty boys in Class A. ”

"Ghost letter."

"What class is Tanaka in now?"

Koji Tanaka also smiled at the two, "Class D." ”

In addition to Tanaka, there are other familiar faces in the executive committee, all of whom are members of Class C in the previous year.

All of them are second-graders, and first- and third-graders are placed in other classrooms.

"Are all projects drawn today?"

"Yes."

After a while, two members of the student council, a man and a woman, came over with a lottery box.

"All the events are drawn separately, and the boys' projects are here." One of them said.

The other person walked to the other side of the conference room with another lottery box in his arms.

"I'm Yuko Nagano of the Student Council, so please come over here for the girls committee."

“……”

Under the watchful eye of her and the other nine female executive committee members, Naruse also followed.

"What are you doing here?"

"Tsurumachi from our class has taken a leave of absence, and I will come to draw lots instead of her."

"Okay."

After Yuko Nagano confirmed, she didn't say much, but instead explained the rules of the lottery.

"Because most of the programs are one-on-one, only five people are needed for each round of the lottery, and the ABCDE class and the FGHIJ class take turns, and the class of the lottery winner will be postponed by one person later."

"Huh...... The class of the lottery will be postponed...... What do you mean? ”

"That's it...... Uh......"

The student council members paused, apparently not thinking about how to explain it.

Naruse said: "For example, if it is our ABCDE class to draw lots, and class A draws class C, then the people in class C don't need to draw lots, let the people from class F draw." ”

"Yes, that's what it means!"

Yuko Nagano breathed a sigh of relief, looked at him gratefully, and then looked at him again.

"It's a bit of a hassle, but it's a guarantee that the lottery process is absolutely fair."

Is it absolutely fair.

Naruse raised an eyebrow and didn't say anything.

"If everyone understands, let's start drawing lots."

"Come on."

The first event to be drawn by the girls was women's volleyball, and Naruse from Class A in the second year was the first to draw lots.

Reaching into the draw box, he touched it, and it contained a plastic ball about the size of a ping pong ball.

Picking one up, he opened it and saw that it was a printed note.

"Year 2 Class E."

"Okay."

Yuko Nagano glanced at it, bowed her head and recorded the draw results on the form, "The first group of the second-year girls' volleyball knockout round, Class A vs. Class E. ”

The executive committee member of Class E of the second year puffed out his mouth, whispered a few words to the girl next to him, and smiled.

Naruse was drawn to Class E, which means that she lost the chance to draw lots in this round.

"Class B vs. Class C, the draw will be postponed by one more, and Class G is ready to draw lots."

"Class D vs. Class H."

……

The first round of the draw ended quickly, and several people returned the ball to its original shape and put it back in the draw box.

"Next up is women's snooker, which will be drawn by the FGHIJ class." Yuko Nagano announced, stepping aside again.

"Naruse."

Saori Ariyama, the female executive member of Class D in the second year, is also a member of Class C in the original year, and she greeted him just now.

"The guy in your class who signed up for women's billiards, is it good?"

"I'm pretty good at studying."

"Uh, that's ......"

"It's a pure newcomer at billiards."

"I hope I can draw you."

Naruse smiled and asked casually:

"Which project in Class D is more powerful, I have to find a way to avoid you."

"If you want to say something more powerful......"

Saori Ariyama thought about it.

"Miura, who signed up for women's badminton in our class, is now the head of the badminton club, and he still has the experience of participating in national competitions when he was in middle school."

“……”

Naruse pursed her lower lip.

"Are you a national competition level player again?"

It's still badminton.

"Let's put it this way, in women's badminton, we have locked in the first place." Saori Ariyama said confidently.

"I hope to see you soon."

"Haha."

The draw for the second round was also quickly over, and Class A's opponent in the women's snooker event was Class G.

The executive committee member of Class G nodded slightly in a panic when he looked over, and Naruse nodded in response, saying nothing.

He didn't know her, so he didn't ask anything more for Ogasawara.

recalled that Kobayashi was heartbroken, and it was estimated that nothing would change after inquiring.

The next draw event is women's badminton, and it is Naruse's turn to draw lots.

"Can I pick another item first?"

"Huh...... No way. ”

"Okay."

Under Yuko Nagano's slightly suspicious gaze, Naruse reached into the pitch-black lottery box, flicked the small ball inside and spun it around a few times, then picked one up from it and pinched it in his hand.

According to Murphy's Law, the less he wants to be drawn to Class D, the easier it is to draw Class D......

I don't know what he's holding in his hand now is the ball of Class D.

Taking a slight breath, Naruse put down the ball in his hand, picked another one, and took it out.

Under the watchful eyes of the ten people around him, he opened the ball, glanced at the class shown on the note, and then re-covered the ball, ready to stuff it back into the draw box.

"Wait a minute!"

Yuko Nagano finally reacted before he succeeded, and the whole person pounced on the lottery box.

"It's all taken out, how can you still stuff it back!"

“……”

Naruse took a deep breath and gave up struggling.

After he took a few steps back, Yuko Nagano, who was full of vigilance, let go of the lottery box.

"Which class?"

"Year 2 Class D."

“……”

Saori Ariyama looked over.

As the draw continued, Naruse looked at the ceiling of the conference room, wondering what to say when he returned to the classroom.

After all the regular events are over, it is finally the turn of the women's 100m draw.

This event is a group of five people, two groups of five into four knockout rounds, and Naruse feels that it doesn't make much sense to draw lots or not.

However, the student council was very old-fashioned, and insisted that the executive committee members of the ten classes each picked up the lottery box and shook it a few times, and then Yuko Nagano flipped the lottery box over and carefully poured out five balls as the list of the first group.

"Class A, Class D, Class B, Class F, Class H...... The above five classes are one group, and the remaining five classes are another group. No problem, right? ”

Who can have a problem?

Naruse shook his head, and when he looked back, on the other side of the conference room, Ito Xiong was also holding the lottery box and shaking it back and forth.

The draw here has ended, and he went over to see that in the men's basketball event, the opponent in the first round of Class A is Class B, which is the opponent they train the most in physical education class.

"Looks like we'll be able to make it to the next round."

Ito smiled.

The lottery was all over, and the two went back to the classroom together.

"How?" Morimi looked at him.

The lunch break was coming to an end, and the others were already back to their classrooms.

"Drew a good lot."

Naruse sat down, smiling.

"I promise, you'll only lose to the champion."

Why do you say it's a good sign, I forgot in the middle, I'm a fan of Morimi Kazuha, a fan of reason.
