[bunniefuu]

What do you mean we can't enter the championship?

Look at this.

It's the competition rules for the championship.

It says all team members must have a model rocket license.

None of us have one.

If you don't have one, just get one.

Get one it's not that easy.

It's expected that anyone launching model rockets has one.

Oh! Shun-chan's license?

A third-class license.

Show us, show us!

The competition rules state at least

one member must have a third-class license

and the other members must have a fourth-class license.

So, the rest of you just need to

get a fourth-class license.

Shun's photo looks mean.

Don't look at that.

By the way, I also have an instructor license along with my third-class license,

so when I taught you guys before,

it counted as instruction.

So, all that's left

is for you to pass the launch and recovery demonstration,

and you can get your licenses too.

Even though you're in high school, you have an instructor license?

My dad made me get it.

I never thought it would come in handy here.

That's Shun-chan for you.

Looks like we can manage this. Yeah.

Alright! Let's all get our licenses

and celebrate passing!

Oh!

Launch pad ready.

No low-flying objects.

Countdown begins.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Launch!

Haruno succeeded on the first launch.

DenDa succeeded on the second launch.

DenDa? It's short for Radio Wave Dumpling.

It's a perfect name for you.

It's not perfect at all! Give me a cuter name!

And the president succeeded on the tenth launch.

The president had too many ignition failures.

And the parachute didn't deploy often.

But a success is a success.

Based on the basic learning and final demonstration,

everyone is granted a fourth-class license.

Now we can safely participate in the championship.

It's all thanks to Shun.

Yeah. Thank you.

You're welcome.

What is it?

I'll just borrow your face for a bit. What are you doing!

Let me guide you. Hey!

Where are you taking me!

Don't get wild, don't get wild.

It's dangerous!

Happy birthday, Shun-chan!

Congratulations!

My birthday is in April, though?

We know.

Geez, it's really ridiculous.

What is it?

I just thought it was nice that Shun-chan liked the cake.

I I didn't like it.

You've been complaining but eating a lot since earlier.

It's a buffet, so of course I'll eat.

Raimon-san, do you like sweets?

I hate them.

It's modest, but this is a present from us.

Open it.

This is the limited edition Repdios from the movie.

We all chose it together.

Too bad.

I already have three of them.

But, for you guys, it's not bad.

This unit is really good, so I won't get tired of having more.

So, well

I'll gratefully accept it.

Hey, if it's okay,

how about we all take a Purikura later?

No way I'm taking such childish pictures.

I'm not interested.

You guys go take them yourselves.

How about this?

Yeah, that's good.

This one?

I think this one is better.

Not this one?

Well

From now on,

we'll be busy with preparations,

but after the match,

let's hang out again.

Such promises are usually just pleasantries.

So, is this one okay?

Yes, it's fine.

Okay. Alright, let's take it!

Are you ready?

3, 2, 1.

Well maybe if I feel like it.

You always utter clumsy hopes in small words.

I will definitely make you win.

One more time.

Hey, it's starting to rain, let's stop.

What are you guys doing?

Oh, good morning, teacher.

We were launching the prototype.

What about all those eggs?

For the championship rockets,

we load raw eggs as cargo.

But it's not going well.

If the eggs crack or break

upon landing, we're disqualified.

I understand the situation, but

if you keep launching them randomly, everyone will be surprised.

Shut up and be quiet.

How dare you talk to the teacher like that!

Calm down, teacher.

We'll clean up right away.

Yes, please do.

The parachute never worked even once,

is it the size? The storage position?

What's the cause?

Ra Raimon-san.

After school today, how about we all discuss the rocket again?

No need.

There's no time until the preliminaries,

I'll solve everything.

After all, making it

is better if we all discuss and decide together.

President: You want to win, don't you?

Then leave it all to me.

But

Listen, don't let your greed get into the game.

Huh?

If you want to get something

make the most rational decision like a leader.

Shun-chan, wait!

Huh?

Please come with me for a bit.

What is it?

What are you planning to do, bringing me here?

Excuse me for a moment.

What are you putting on me without permission!

It suits you.

I don't have such a hobby.

Ah, no, no

We need to do something with these leftover eggs, right?

It would be a waste otherwise, don't you think?

But why me? There are others, right?

But Shun-chan, you're tired, right?

Cooking can be a good change of pace.

I'm not interested.

What if we're making a fluffy chiffon cake?

Shun was enthusiastic.

Yes.

Alright, let's take a break.

Huh?

Wow! Again.

Alright, in that case, with alien power.

Huh?

Wait, wait a minute

What are you planning to do?

Huh?

Just lightly, like this.

If you do that and get caught, it'll be a big fuss.

I'll give you a signal from the side.

A joint operation, then. I'll leave that to you.

Leave it to me.

Then.

Those two!

Let's drop both of them at the same time!

That seems quite challenging.

A little more.

There.

Not yet.

There.

Take that!

Please

Oh, it's coming, it's coming.

Hey, look, Umika!

Amazing.

We did it!

Shun-chan, do you want to try?

Sure.

Stirring like this continuously really tires your arm.

Alright, then let's settle it with rock-paper-scissors.

If you win against me, I'll take over.

Shun-chan, you really care about winning and losing.

Huh?

Because you're thinking about

how to win the championship too.

Give it here.

I can't afford to lose.

Huh?

If I lose, who will send rockets to space?

You really want to go to space, don't you?

How can you lose to others with a model rocket

that isn't even a milestone?

At that point, your ideals are over.

Even if you can't do it, I can.

I'll win and prove it.

Otherwise, there's no point in me being here.

Damn it, this isn't foaming up at all.

What if we don't get the results we want in the competition?

That's why I said we won't lose.

I don't think defeating someone is the only condition for victory.

Huh? So, regardless of the results,

if you gain something in the process,

even if you lose, it's not a loss.

That's just an excuse to avoid the result of the match.

If I hate losing, do you hate winning?

No, I don't hate anything.

Both results and processes are special in this world.

I don't deny any of it.

What does that mean?

Huh?

If you don't hate anything,

it's the same as not truly loving anything.

That is.

If you're okay with that, I won't say anything.

So, stop meddling.

It's unnecessary.

Come on, let's make it quickly. Yeah.

Umika? What's wrong? Huh?

Oh, no.

Am I really being greedy?

I know that Raimon's words are right to win,

I understand that.

But I want to aim for victory with the best rocket we all made together.

Otherwise, the dream of going to space together,

and the promise with Akeuchi-san

won't come true.

Sorry I'm not in a position to say such things.

If I were a better leader.

Because I'm an alien.

I can't walk at the forefront

on a planet I know nothing about.

I need someone to light

the way for me.

Umika's thoughts and words

illuminate the path ahead.

Thanks to that, I can walk

on this planet without hesitation.

I can strive to achieve

the same goals as everyone else.

So, it's the best guide to walk together.

Akeuchi-san.

First summer vacation!

Doesn't Yu-chan's planet

have summer vacations?

How long are you

going to keep up that setting?

It's not a setting!

Anyway, from tomorrow on,

we'll be working from morning.

The competition is just around the corner.

Let's all work hard together.

As long as we can work

as planned, it's all good.

Yes, let's all create something

great as planned.

With that kind of fin cut,

it won't fly properly.

Use a ruler properly.

Ah, okay.

That's why, with this

kind of adhesion, it's useless.

How many times do I have to tell you!

The F-type engine is completely different

in power from the A-type!

With this kind of wobbling,

it will shatter upon impact.

Are you listening to me or not!

Sorry

I'll fix it again

Enough, don't touch it!

I'll do it!

Shun-chan, that's a bit.

You guys too!

Your handling is sloppy!

If you're not serious about winning, go home!

But, it's our first time and

Shun, you're so irritated,

you don't teach us anything.

That's why I said think a bit

and make it yourself!

We are thinking.

No, you're not!

You don't understand

the structure of the body at all.

In the end, it's quickest if I do it alone.

That way, we won't waste energy or time.

Sorry.

I'll do it better.

You can't do it anyway.

President, go pick up stones outside.

Umika-chan.

Taha!

I also came to pick up stones.

Shall we pick them up together?

Or

shall we do a spell

to ease your mind?

I I'm

o-okay!

Huh?

It's okay.

I have to go back quickly.

Akeuchi-san, take a break and

get some fresh air outside.

It's okay.

Umika?

What we can do with our limited funds

and experience is

to improve our precision.

Adhesion, painting, polishing

we can't compromise even a little.

What's this?

It's Umika-chan's.

She's been compiling notes about the rocket.

Shun-chan

It's not just you who wants to win, Shun-chan.

Raimon-san

I'm sorry I couldn't do it well.

I'll practice first with the leftover materials.

If it's hard to teach everyone,

you can teach me first,

and then I'll share it with everyone.

I might be unreliable, but

together together

I don't think anyone's serious about not letting you make it.

Setting up the rocket

on the day itself

would be inefficient with just one person.

I originally planned

for you guys to do it too.

So when you're making it,

at the very least, you need to

understand the structure of the rocket while working.

In fact, do it that way.

I'll teach the president again how to read

the wind direction and set up around the parachute,

so just practice. Got it?

Yes!

Alright, we don't have much time, so let's get started.

Come over here.

Yes!

Just a little more!
