Hurry and get back to your post!

I couldn't just brush aside our relation with the town, you know...

Sorry, Itsumi-chan...

Now, now! It's a relief, isn't it?

This means we don't have anyone betraying us from the inside!

Though if there was a traitor, we'd have the responsibility to purge them!

So then that rumor I heard was also fake?

What do you think, Itsumi-dono?

Allow me to be frank.

I would like you to throw the final match.

Losing the national match twice in a row has caused the name of the Nishizumi school of Tankery to suffer greatly.

Under this circumstance, the Shimada school is also feeling the pressure upon them.

Their downfall will also be just a matter of time.

However, I can save the Nishizumi school.

With the connections I have, restoring their name is but a simple matter.

Itsumi Erika-san.

What better opportunity do you have to return the favor to the Nishizumi than this?
