Episode 9: “Obstacle Course at the Hills”

Scene 1: [The students started riding the bus and they were again seated with their partners. They have no idea where they’re going by the way…]

[Yuki and Kyousuke while seated next to each other… they were both tongue-tied. Yuki puts out a chip snack from her bag to have something to eat. Kyousuke just brushes his cheek from not having any words to say…]

[Yuki breaks the passive atmosphere and offers Kyousuke her chip snack. Kyousuke grabs some then eats up too. Yuki secretly took a slight glance at Kyousuke eating the chips. Unfortunately, she got caught… she embarrassedly faced to the opposite side… Kyousuke smirks…]

[After almost an hour of travel, the bus had now stopped nearby the base of the hills. Upon going out of the bus… their hands were already wearing shackles with their partners.]

Students: “W-what does this mean????” O.O…

[Sensei stated that they will be having a somewhat obstacle course in that hill. He also added…]

Sensei: “You’re not allowed to part with your partners. Your task is to reach the top of the hill.”

Students: “Whaaaat????” o_o

[So that’s how the awaited challenge had started… who would have thought of getting themselves arm-locked with their partners like that? That would surely be a burden to both. They can utilize it to their advantage however…]

[Sensei explains that the course up the hill consists of stations and to be able to reach at the top, they have to go through and pass the challenge provided in each station before they can proceed to the next one. Each station will give them the corresponding reward chips which they should be able to collect in order to get themselves released from the chain. The winners will be the first five pairs to reach the top of the hill and having completed the station chips… they will be released and… what lies ahead after that?]

[By the way, the students will have different starting point so there will be no overlapping paths; however, there will be some intersections in the middle of the race. So then, let’s just find out and sensei let the game begin!]

“BANG!!!!” [Fired the gun.]

Yuki: “Don’t tell me I’ll be stuck with you like this until we reach the top of that hill? No way, we have to finish this quickly!” >.<

Kyousuke: “We better give it our best then…” ^_^

[So how do they know which station to go? They got to find their stations based on the clues sequentially presented on their chains. There has a sign and they have to look for the similar sign represented in each station.]

[Well then, Yuki and Kyousuke’s first chain sign is “Sagittarus”. Now, they have to find the station flag with the “Sagittarius” sign (Archer). Immediately after sensei had fired the gun, Yuki and Kyousuke started running their way searching for their first station.]

Kyousuke: “Hurry up Yuki!”

[Yuki finds it hard to catch up with Kyousuke’s pacing.]

Yuki: “Just where are we going?”

Kyousuke: […sharply scanning with his eyes around.] “It’s got to be here somewhere…”

Yuki: […stoops down on her knees gasping, opens her eyes and saw a flag at a distant view. Stand upright...] “It’s over there!” [Runs]
