"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)

Summary
'Yamato asks Reon to teach him some guitar. Reon is confused by the sudden request but teaches him nonetheless and manages to attract the attention of some other students.'"

Location: Kamogawa University

Rio:
You two already put yourselves in the spotlight at the briefing session. Don't you think that'll be an advantage when it comes to picking a winner of the contest?

Reon:
...Are you being sarcastic?

Yamato:
My bad. It'd been on my mind for a while so I kinda just blurted it out.

Misono is pretty skilled with a guitar after all. I'd like to listen to the techniques you use.

Reon:
O-Oh...

Rio:
Hah, how enthusiastic. Well, I'll be leaving then.

Reon:
Hey, wait a second, you think you can just leave me all alone?

Rio:
I have a lecture to attend. I'll leave you two to your guitarist activities.

Reon:
Are you trying to play matchmaker!?

Yamato:
So about Revolution's introー

Reon:
You're just fine ignoring this and asking questions instead!?

Whatever, I'll just try and teach you some things... but I don't have my guitar with me todayー

Yamato:
I have a guitar if you need one.

Reon:
You're quite prepared...do you take it everywhere with you?

Yamato:
I do. I can practice whenever I want this way. You don't carry yours around, Misono?

Reon:
...Not today. Okay, lend me yours. I'll try and play something.

(Reon plays something for Yamato)

Yamato:
I see, so that's how you get it to sound like that. So after the first verseー

Reon:
Hey, hold on...

University Student A:
That guy is insanely good at guitar...who is he?

University Student B:
You don't know? That's Gyroaxia's guitarist. I'm pretty sure the guy next to him is performing in LRFes too...

Reon:
It seems we've got ourselves a crowd... should I keep playing?

Yamato:
It's fine. Just keep going.

University Student A:
Ahh, I see. That's Furai's guitarist! The saxophonist stands out way more so I didn't recognize him at first.

University Student B:
To be honest, their performances aren't that great in comparison to something like Gyro.

Reon:
...They're being loud on purpose, aren't they.

Yamato:
It doesn't bother me. It's no secret that I don't compare in skill.

Reon:
...You accept that so easily.

Yamato:
I won't be able to improve if I don't accept reality. I won't get any better at guitar.

That being said...just because we aren't as skilled, I don't think Furai is inferior.

Reon:
...Well said.

Yamato:
What's taking so long? Play the first verse.

Reon:
I guess I have no choice...I'll keep you company a little longer.

Summary
"Yamato attends the briefing session for the First Year Male Student category of the university's contest. By chance, he happens to meet Reon from Gyroaxia."

Location: Diner

Student from Executive Committee:
Now then, let's do an overview of what the contest is all about! Please listen closely, participants!

Yamato:
...I'm hungry

(Footsteps)

Reon:
Sorry I'm late, is there an empty seat available… wait, is that you, Tsubaki?

Yamato:
Misono...

Reon:
So you're entering for Furai. Kenta-san pulled me into this too.

He told me to come and get people excited for Fes and throw in some flashy promo. He also gave me this to give to a member of Furai when I saw them.

Yamato:
...What is this?

Reon:
A rice ball. He knew you'd be feeling hungry so he asked me to give it to you.

Yamato:
...God?

Reon:
I wouldn't go that far...

Yamato:
I'll never forget this kindness...nom...

Reon:
(I haven't talked to this guy much before... he gives off a sort of unapproachable energy...

That being said, now that I'm seeing him up close...he's got a really nice face.

If the contest is largely centered on visuals, wouldn't he just win?)

Yamato:
What...? Are you hungry?

Reon:
...I'm good.

???:
You guys are here too?

Reon:
Hm?

Yamato:
Are you hungry?

Rio:
...What are you talking about?

Reon:
Kikyo...I suppose you're representing Argonavis then?

Rio:
Indeed. I'm known to be familiar with being on large stages so they went with me.

That reminds me. Goryo asked me to hand this over to someone from Furai when I next ran into them.

Reon:
I had a similar situation...it's like we're feeding a stray animal.

Yamato:
...What is this?

Rio:
It's a sandwich.

Yamato:
Thank you...I don't really like bread.

Rio:
...Shouldn't you be polite when someone gives you something?

Yamato:
Of course. I'll hold onto this until I get home so that everyone can have something to eat.

Student from Executive Committee:
...Umm, excuse me. Could we please refrain from the chit chat and snack time going on over there?

Reon:
Sorry, we'll behave. Okay, you put away your food too!

Yamato:
Hey, Misono

Reon:
Listen to the guy! Didn't he just ask us to stop talking amongst ourselves?

Yamato:
Teach me guitar.

Reon:
...What!?
