Summary
During the Sports Festival, Ichinose cheering asked her class to do their best in all the events. She convinced that they would be able to obtain the first place against all the first-year classes easily, before dismissing that as if she was joking to herself.

The next event was the three-legged race in which Ichinose and Shibata were participating. Feeling that no matter what, she would fight with all her strength, she went to the field together with Shibata. Suddenly seeing a certain person, she stopped in her tracks. She, then, lied to Shibata that she would come after greeting Kikyo, who she had seen earlier when in reality, she wanted to talk with Ayanokouji who had come together with Kushida as her partner for the three-legged race. Ichinose's impression of Ayanokouji, who at first seemed like an ordinary student, had begun to change.

After greeting them, Ichinose informed that they were in the same group to which Kushida said that it seems like she and Ayanokouji had a powerful opponent. Hearing Kushida praising her as a powerful opponent, she refuted saying she was just a replacement, as the one who was to enter, had sprained her leg. Ichinose also added that she wasn't anything remarkable in sports. As the competition was about to begin, Ichinose bid Ayanokouji and Kushida goodbye and began to return to Shibata. Soon, Kushida and Ayanokouji, having tied their legs together, slowly started to take small steps. Seeing them, Ichinose wondered that compared to Ayanokouji, who was unfathomable, it was better to focus on the victory set before her eyes.
