 Summary
"It's the day of the contest and Yamato, Reon and Rio have made it to the finals. The 3 of them must all deliver a speech to determine the champion."

ーDay of the Contestー

Student on Executive Committee:
Next up is the "First Year Male Student Category"! Here are the 3 finalists decided by the previous vote!

Rio:
Hello.

Reon:
Hi...

Yamato:
Cafeteria coupon...

Aoi:
Do your best, Yamato! Win this thing!

Misaki:
Our lunch...and our future is in your hands! Don't ya dare lose!

Kohei:
You've got this, Yamato...!

Futa:
Yamatoooooo!! You'll win for sure!! You can do ittttt!!

Rio:
What incredible encouragement...

Student on Executive Committee:
And now it's time for the judges to decide on our champion! But before thatー

Our 3 competitors will finish off with a speech! The title is..."Love Letter to My Beloved" !!

Reon:
...What the hell?

Rio: 
Is this really...related to cultural contributions?

Yamato:
"My Beloved"...?

Student on Executive Committee:
Righty then, please start us off Kikyo Rio-san!

Rio:
...I'd just like to confirm one thing. Is it okay if our "beloved" isn't a person?

Student on Executive Committee:
Huh? Well, I suppose that shouldn't matter...

Rio:
Very well. I'll begin.

(Rio and Reon give their speeches)

Reon:
What did I just do...shit...this is so embarrassing...

Rio:
I think you delivered a rather good speech. You effectively communicated your deep love for soba croquettes.

Reon:
Cut me some slack... well, y'know, you helped me a ton when you went with the theme of curry rice.

I had no idea what to talk about when they said "Love Letter to My Beloved". I managed to get by thanks to you.

Rio:
I am a genius, after all.

Reon:
...Isn't this a waste of your talents?

Student on Executive Committee:
Okay, last up is Tsubaki Yamato-san!

Rio:
Now then, let's see what he's got.

Reon: 
...Can this guy come up with a decent speech?

Student on Executive Committee:
Alight, please go ahead! The floor is yours!!

Yamato:
I...

Reon:
He's not saying anything...is he okay?

Rio:
Oh dear...he's got everyone's eyes on him. They're all waiting for his next word...

Yamato:
I...love white rice. More than any other main dish and more than any side dish.

I don't know if you'll be able to understand this feeling, however I want to do the best I can to convey it to you.

Listen closely. The title isー

"NO RICE NO LIFE"

(Applause)
