Well done, Asumin! I’ll never be able to do a back hip circle ever!
I’m still traumatized by my 6th grade elementary school sports festival. I tripped during the 100-meter race and got a nosebleed in front of the entire school.
But after that, for the first time in my life, I ate at a regular, non-conveyor-belt sushi restaurant and made a full recovery.
I really thought I wanted to be a sushi chef.
For my elementary school graduation essay, we answered the question, “If you could be reborn as anything, what would you want to be?” I said I wanted to be a hamburger steak.

I’m disappointed I couldn’t go to your back hip circle practice.
This is Yukisada Hayashi.
On the horizontal bar, I could probably teach you all the way up to a forward giant.
Release moves would probably be too dangerous.
I made rice ball ochazuke for dinner yesterday.
Grilled rice ball ochazuke is delicious, too.

Although I did not do much, I was given the opportunity to help Asumin’s back hip circle practice.
Upon reflection, I wonder if I could have provided more effective assistance.
Today, I purchased the A lunch bento box, having preordered it at the school store.
It was packed with potato croquettes, hamburger steak, grilled salmon, little frankfurters, spaghetti Napolitan, and rice.
As a side note, the B lunch is health-oriented, while the C lunch is also known as the “mega-sized bento box.”

Congratulations on your back hip circle.
Thinking about it, a forward giant seems difficult.
The idea of being reborn as a hamburger steak has never occurred to me before.
You would see what it was like to get eaten.
Between A, B, and C, I think the B lunch is best.

Sousei gazed at the sheep Kuchina had drawn at the end of her diary entry. It was the final class for the day, but Sousei was mostly spending the time rereading the entries and thinking about what to write for today. He’d hidden the notebook in his desk and had been occasionally taking it out to glance through so he wouldn’t get told off by the teacher. If he really wanted to, Sousei could leave and enter the classroom without being noticed by the teacher.
That wouldn’t be good, though. No. It wouldn’t. But it’s unavoidable, right…?
Sousei turned the page of the notebook. Asumi, Moena, and Yukisada had all already finished their diary entries for that day.

Thanks!
First thing this morning, I tried doing a back hip circle in the park near my house, and I did it!
Come to think of it, the Aurora Light Show has started, hasn’t it?
I haven’t gone to see it in a few years.
It’d be nice if we all went together!
This was Asumin!

For some reason, I suddenly decided I wanted to lose weight, so I thought I’d take up walking, but with my past injury…
Ever since I dislocated my shoulder in the sandbox in kindergarten, it’s been impossible for me to do any real exercise.
Green tea ochazuke using grilled rice balls sounds amazing. I want a bowl full of it.
I haven’t been to the Aurora Light Show recently, either.
They set up food stalls, too. Sorry for always thinking with my stomach.

This is Yukisada Hayashi.
Is it really that difficult to do a forward giant? All you have to do is spin around without releasing your grip.
Is it because it’s scary?
I’ve never gone to see the Aurora Light Show.
They do it in Shizukamachi around this time of year, right?
I heard that a long time ago, it was called the White Light Show instead of the Aurora Light Show. I want to go.

The Aurora Light Show…
It was an annual event held at the Greenbelt that intersected the road in front of Shizukamachi City Hall. The Greenbelt was a space lined with trees between two roads, which was often used as a plaza and park. At the Aurora Light Show, the entire area was beautifully decorated with lights, and it was said to attract spectators even from outside the city.
Sousei had seen it before. He hadn’t gone to see the light show but had done a job near the Greenbelt when the event had been going on.
That’s my one and only memory related to the Aurora Light Show…
For a normal, everyday high school student, that seemed questionable.
However, when it came down to it, that was just what Sousei wanted to be. He wasn’t a normal, everyday high schooler at all.
Sousei put the notebook on his desk. He didn’t try to hide it with his textbook, but he thought it very unlikely that the teacher would question him if he acted confidently.

I’ve only seen the Aurora Light Show once, a few years ago.
Since forward giants are dangerous, I think it would be better to try either a backward or forward somersault next.
Today, I preordered and tried the B lunch.
It was light and refreshing, and included grilled mackerel, chicken katsu with plum and perilla leaves, and thick, deep-fried tofu in the style of sweet and sour pork.
I want to go to the Aurora Light Show.
