[Welcome: Kiyosumi High School Mahjong Club Four-School Joint Training Camp]
All right!
Wow...
She decked the place out...
There's a bunch of mahjong tables!
Now then, I know we all just got here...
But, let's get right to it...
...and head to the bath!
Who're you trying to convince?
Kyoutaro-san...
I'm Kyoutaro.
Suga-kun...
I-I'm Suga!
Now, hurry and come over here!
I'm coming...
Ron.
Crap!

And so, I thank all of you for participating in this combined training camp.
What are we going to do now?
Let's see... First we-
Can I say something?
I have a proposal.
Yes?
Before we get into the main training schedule, I have some data I'd like everyone to reference.
I hope no one minds listening to me.
No problem, go ahead.
Then I shall take only a bit of your time.
This is the data I've personally gathered on last year's nat-
W-Wait just a second!
I'm going to the bathroom!
Yuuki-chan?
Yuuki...
She drank too much fruit milk.
U-Uh...
It looks like Bundou-san is light-headed from being in the bath.
Keep it together!
Oh, no!
Touka...
Koromo is...
Asleep.
Guess she tired herself out from running around.
I-I've got to listen to everything Senpai says...
Mu-ki... New President...
She's passed out from the bath, too.
Oh, well...
Joint Training Camp
Everyone looks tired from their long journey, so the rest of the day is free-time.
The training camp curriculum starts tomorrow morning!
Okay, dismissed!
Okay!
Sorry about that.
Don't worry.
Anyway, here.
This is data on the national powerhouse schools.
Wow...
It's this detailed?
Huh?
Isn't this data from after our prefectural qualifiers finished?
Yeah... I started gathering it for when we were trying to go to the nationals,
but I never really got the urge to stop...
If you'd like, you can use it.
Kajiki-san!
Thank you!
How's Mutsuki doing?
She looks fine.
The former President and Kaori-senpai carried her to our room.
I see. That's a relief.
By the way, Momo...
Yes?
You didn't go in the bath?
I wanted to go in with you, Senpai... Just the two of us...
I see.
Then, why don't we go now?
Okay!
This is funny!
Huh?
It's freaky and cute!
I want one...
You sure about that?
And hey! We came here to buy a souvenir for Suga-kun!
Oops, I forgot.
Um... Which one would be good?
Mister, give me some tacos!
I don't have any tacos.
Then, guacamole!
Guacamole?!
Yuuki, we're here to buy souvenirs!
All righty then, time to get started.
Um, is it okay if I join you?
No problem.
Yes, please do. Let's have fun.
I'll get my due, you betcha...
Prepare for a beating.
Your beginner's luck is no more.
L-Let's have a good game!
Yes, let's.
And they actually have an outdoor bath.
Yes, it looked wonderful with the sun setting so beautifully.
Yes, it is.
Let's go in again.
Sure! I want to go in again, just the two of us!
S-Sure...
Senpai...
Have you ever played ping-pong?
No.
Oh, ping-pong!
Have you played it before?
No, never.
Ooh, lemme play too!
Yuuki!
Let's go watch them.
Sure.
Oh, ping-pong.
President.
Then I'll join, too.
Ping-pong? What a low-class game for commoners.
But it's a lot of fun.
Sure is. Shall we?
Don't expect me to actually play...
Ping-pong!
I'll play, too!
[Note: She actually has a yakuman, Ryuu iisou, a hand of all green sou tiles (2,3,4,6,8) and hatsu]
What can you do?
Tsumo.
Um... hatsu, honitsu, I think?
Um...
Now, which one of you is next?!
It's Etopen! He's always by your side, isn't he?
Yeah...
We'll be counting on you during the nationals, Etopen.
Miyanaga-san...
Oh, yeah!
I heard they have an outdoor bath here, too.
I bet it has a great view, so why don't we check it out later?
Sure.
It's getting late today.
Do it tomorrow morning.
Okay.
Okay, in the morning, then.
Sure.
It doesn't look like Yuuki-chan woke up.
I'm sure she's tired.
Then, let's go in.
Sure.
It's so spacious!
And there's no one here.
It looks like we could even go for a swim.
But you can't swim, though, Miyanaga-san.
Wow, how beautiful!
Yes! It's quite an unbelievable view.
I'm glad I woke up early.
Yeah!
K-Kajiki-san?
I'm sorry! I didn't think there was anyone else here.
Were we being loud?
N-No... It's okay.
Are you by yourself?
No, it's the two of us.
I'm here toos!
I didn't even notice.
Yeah...
Oh, there you are.
President!
What's the matter?
I went to Tsuruga's room, but you weren't there.
I wanted to thank you.
I was reading that data on the nationals all last night.
It's a lifesaver.
As long as it was of some service...
Just from looking at the data, I can tell there are opponents far stronger than I had imagined.
If it's true, I'd love to be able to see them in person.
If you're looking for people with personal Nationals experience, then look no further!
Oh?
It's Ryuumonbuchi's...
...uh...
Ryuumonbuchi Touka!
Oh, may I join you?
Fukuji-san...
The biggest worry from the Kyushu forces has got to be Eisui All-girls.
I think so, too.
I see.
You're really a great reference.
I'm glad I learned about them.
Glad you learned about them, is it?
But in the nationals lurk opponents you'd rather not know about.
You'd rather not know about?
Yes.
For example, the captain of last year's national champions, Shiraitodai.
Miyanaga Teru.
Miyanaga... Teru?
We didn't make it to the finals, so we only watched from the sidelines.
But it went beyond mere strength and skill...
That's a true monster of the nationals.
Onee-chan...
Miyanaga-san...
Saki... Are you, perhaps, Miyanaga Teru's little sister?
Just as I'd thought.
But...
Captain?
I did an interview with Nishida-san from Weekly Mahjong Today before,
and I was curious so I asked.
"Is there some relation between Kiyosumi's Miyanaga-san and Shiraitodai's Miyanaga Teru-san?"
Nishida-san had just gone to Tokyo to do an interview, actually.
An easy victory for you, Miyanaga-san.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I have something I'd like to ask, actually, if you don't mind?
Go ahead.
Do you happen to have a sister?
Is it, perhaps, Kiyosumi High School's...
Um, Miyanaga-san?
I...
...have no sister.
So I thought that the Miyanaga from Shiraitodai just had the same last name...
Um... I... Excuse me.
Miyanaga-san.
I'll leave her to you, Nodoka.
Miyanaga-san!
You were shocked to hear what your sister said, weren't you?
No...
I kind of figured that she would say something like that.
If I can go to the nationals and play mahjong with my sister,
then maybe I could talk with her and we could make up. That's what I thought.
But I got scared when I heard what she said.
Maybe... Even if I play mahjong with my sister...
Maybe nothing will change?
Miyanaga-san!
Come with me for a minute.
Huh?
I heard from the people at the resort yesterday that the local temple has a place to pray for victory.
It's pretty big.
What did you wish for, Miyanaga-san?
And you, Haramura-san?
What did you wish for, Haramura-san?
Me?
I prayed that I could stay together with you and everyone else forever, Miyanaga-san.
To keep winning in the nationals just like we did in the prefecturals,
and be by your side, Miyanaga-san...
Forever!
Thank you.
Thank you! I'll do my best!
I'll do my best, and definitely play my sister!
Right!
These are cute.
They sure are! Let's buy one.
It doesn't look like anyone's here, though.
I guess it's too early in the morning for them to be open.
Need something?
Thank you very much.
I'm glad we could buy them.
Yeah! We found some good souvenirs!
Um...
Would you...
...like to exchange...
...yours and mine?
Haramura-san.
Miyanaga-san...
It's starting to feel awkward calling each other by our last names.
Y-Yes, it is...
I'd like it if you would call me Saki, Haramura-san...
M-Me too!
You can call me Nodoka!
N-
Nodoka-chan...
Yes?
Saki...-san...
Yes?
U-Um!
I-It's still kind of embarrassing...
It is...
It's still a little...
So you're back.
President!
It's already time to start with the training camp activities.
Got it? Playtime's over, it's time to get serious.
Right!
Excellent.
Fujita-pro!
Ms. Katsudon!
Hey, it's been a while.
Why is she here?
Didn't you hear about me inviting a big guest?
Now that you mention it...
Let's see just how much stronger you've got since I played against you in Rooftop Café.
Right!
Today, I'll beat you!
Guess they aren't worried anymore.
How long do you plan to make someone like me wait?
We're starting at once!
Hurry and play with me, Haramura Nonoka!
Now, everyone please take their seats.
I will be the victor today.
Game on!
Yeah, let's play a bunch!
Okay, let's start the training camp!
Right!
Tsumo!
Rinshan kaihou!
We will now begin the opening ceremonies for the National High School Mahjong Tournament.
Finally, the time has come to raise the curtain on the summer National High School Mahjong Tournament!
Which high school will be the one in command of this year's tournament?
The burning summer has just begun for these high school students aiming for the top spot in the country!
You can do it, Kiyosumi!
The 21st century.
The population of mahjong players is now hundreds of millions of people.
The professional mahjong players draw everyone's attention.
There is even a large-scale national tournament held for high school students every year.
And, as the results laid down there can lead directly to the pros,
the members of the high school mahjong clubs battle for the championship!
This is the miracle of these girls who aim for the top!
We're
just
getting
started,
yay~
