Umemiya.

We've got a problem.

Yeah, I know.

He already knew?

Just who in the world

We don't have enough seedlings!

We've got one extra planting spot left.

Is there anything you wanna eat?

Not that. I'm talking about Shishito

Shishito peppers? But you got

a weak stomach! Sure you can eat that?

They're not on the same page

I see. So that's where Hiragi-san

got his stomachaches.

That is Umemiya?

You mean "that man" is Umemiya-san!

Shut up!

Oh? What brings you all here?

Hey!

This one is a tomato plant.

This one's a green pepper.

Then we've got eggplants,

cucumbers, and okra!

They're all unique and cute!

It's all right.

For Pete's sake.

He never listens to other people

and once he opens his mouth,

he never shuts up.

Goddammit.

They're all just some grass, aren't they?

What? Look closer!

They're all so different!

Though, still

He was acting like this during

the announcement, too.

It's like he loves to goof around.

But he was able to change

the atmosphere with just his voice.

I hope we'll get lots of veggies

from this little guy.

Just what makes people flock to him?

Please allow me to explain myself!

It must be hard for him

to just stay quiet in this situation.

I saw a shoplifter

in the shopping district.

So I went after him, but before I knew it,

I was already in Shishitoren's turf.

And when they started chasing after me.

I thought I was done for

But these two saved me!

I looked up to Bofurin,

and got ahead of myself

But in the end, I sparked

a fight with Shishitoren

I'm so sorry!

Sasaki.

How do you know my name?

Thanks, man.

You said you sparked a fight with them,

but that was only because you wanted

to protect the town and its people, right?

Then you don't have to

apologize for anything!

Just leave the rest

to your big brothers here!

So?

How did these guys save you?

They kicked the other guy into orbit.

They kicked him into orbit?

Man, I pity that other guy!

It's no use talking anything

through with them.

I see. They kicked them into orbit, huh?

I was there, but I couldn't stop them.

I'm sorry.

There you go again, always trying

to shoulder the blame all by yourself.

I was the one who asked you

to look after them.

See? Your stomach's acting up again.

But it was all Sakura-san's fault

for pushing the guy's buttons.

Shut up already!

Keep your comments to yourself!

What? You picked a fight with them?

Those punks call themselves

the devotees of power and all,

but get off on beating up a weakling!

It's so lame, so I said it

to them

You said it?

I see, I see.

Well said!

Me too. I think

they've been pretty lame lately.

Sakura, I heard what you did

on the main street yesterday.

And you saved Sasaki today.

Thank you for protecting my family.

I'm happy to see we got ourselves

another reliable little brother!

What is this hot feeling

I feel up to the tips of my ears?

I feel so relaxed, it kinda pisses me off.

I feel like I somewhat understand

why they're all so attached to him now.

They must feel safe with him.

Why are you treating me

like your little brother?

I consider everyone in this town

as family.

Kaji? What's up?

Shishi toren

Hey, Kaji? Kaji? What's wrong?

What is it? Is something happening?

Hello!

Helloo! Helloo! Helloo!

HELLOOOOOOOO!

I am the leader of Shishitoren!

Choji Tomiyama.

Ume-chan!

I'm here to challenge you

to a fight! Fight! Fight!

The leader? Why is the leader here?

For revenge? For w*r?

Shishitoren's second-in-command,

Jo Togame!

That means

he's stronger than that guy!

What was that just now?

Huh? Sakura-san?

Suo-san! Sugishita-san!

Sasaki-kun? You too?

Wait for me!

You guys stay here.

Not a chance! Let me fight!

Don't make me repeat myself.

Crap

I can't make my legs take another step

He's acting nothing like before!

Is it really the same guy?

Hey, Tomiyama.

Look what you've got there.

That belongs to us.

Yeah, I know.

You mad? You mad?

You seem happy.

He's facing that Umemiya up close,

but still smiling.

What kind of monster is he?

All right, Ume-chan!

Fight! Fight!

You're the one who struck us first!

That's a good enough reason

to brawl it out, right?

Fight me! Fight me!

-Fight me! Fight me!

-This guy just won't shut up.

You're right. We're the ones

who struck you guys first.

But you mowed down

a ton of our guys, too.

You've got your fill now, haven't you?

Now we're even.

You're right.

Is Is he satisfied, then?

Now, turn around and go ba

Sheesh, you're just as impatient as ever.

C'mon, Ume-chan! I just struck you!

Now's your turn!

Come on! You gotta pay me back, right?

Why do you want to fight that badly?

Rather than fighting

I want you, Ume-chan.

It's been somewhat boring

since I made my way to the top.

But even though you're also at the top,

you're always smiling like

you're having fun.

That's unfair.

That's why I'm going to take

all of Furin and you, for myself!

That's just ridiculous.

I see.

You've got it hard, huh, Tomiyama?

Hey, hey!

What kind of silly bullcrap

are you feeding our general here?

Huh? Why are you all here?

You see

If we let our general go raiding

enemies on his own

it won't look good on us, okay?

Sheesh.

You rushed out right the moment

I told you what happened.

I've always said you gotta wait

until someone finishes talking

Hello, Othello-kun.

Short time no see.

Yo, scraggly.

Hey, I told you guys to sta

Shut up!

I won't get in your way

if it's one-on-one.

But I don't like people

ganging up on one guy!

I'm gonna fight him one-on-one,

so all of you need to back off!

I think it'll be a bit difficult

to do that now.

Take a look around.

Wha This is getting out of hand!

All of you, don't you dare come down here!

Tomiyama.

I'll take you on, one-on-one.

Tell your men to step back.

Got it! I just wanna fight you, anyway!

Oh, come on.

Your general sure is a softy.

Or is he just scared?

Hey. Shut up or I'll crush you!

Don't get pissy just 'cause I'm right.

Hey, wasn't that

one of the kids from earlier?

Oh, I knew it!

They're so plain, but I could tell

right away! I'm good, aren't I?

You've got one craggy-looking face,

but you talk like a little boy.

How cute.

You say what?

There, there. Calm down, guys.

Hey, Choji.

If you wanna face him off,

it might be better to pick another day.

What?

See? It's about to get dark.

If you end up fighting in the dark,

we won't get a clear view

of all the swollen, beat-up faces.

Right, Othello-kun?

How do you plan to look

at your own face here?

Huh? Everyone here know each other?

In that case, Ume-chan

Why don't we all go at it?

Oh, I don't mean doing a brawl.

But we can all face off against

each other, one-on-one, in turn!

Like a festival! It'll be fun!

Oh, like a kendo team match?

Sounds fun.

I know, right?

-While we're at it

-Nice! Nice!

-We should invite them to our

-Yay! Yay!

Let me finish, okay?

Then the matches will be

Choji and

Umemiya.

Me and Othello-kun.

It's Sakura.

Let me beat that long mop over there.

I'll take that eyepatch guy, then.

Aww, a cutey chose me!

Hey! If we're facing off,

we don't need to get others involved.

But it's more fun if everyone joins in!

We

would prefer it that way, too.

See?

Jeez, the first years

this time around are handful.

May I join, too?

I want to fight Hiragi-san.

KOTA SAKO

Sako? You

Sorry, Umemiya.

I'm in.

All right, then it's decided!

In the name of our teams

let's all have fun and duke it out!

Is it okay for me to be here?

Of course.

Crap, crap, crap! We're screwed!

We're totally screwed!

Shut your yappin'.

Whose fault do you think it is?

There's no point crying about it now.

Fill yourself up. It should calm you down.

You don't understand at all, Kotoha-san!

If If If tomorrow

Umemiya-san ends up losing

to that Choji Tomiyama guy

Bofurin will be taken over by Shishitoren.

Bofurin might just disappear!

But still, crying about it

won't change a thing.

It'll be fine.

You already know that those guys

aren't that weak, don't you?

I'm done eating. Can I go home now?

Whoa, so fast!

Oh, you left your veggies.

But Umemiya-san and the others

aren't here yet.

They're taking forever.

They told us to wait,

but they aren't coming.

Well, I bet it'll be a lot of work

to calm all those other guys.

But, still

Umemiya said we'd all

go out for a meal, right?

But why are we here?

You say that after you

gobbled up Omelet rice?

This place is well-known as

the usual hangout spot for Bofurin.

I heard they'd gather here before a fight.

More importantly

Ko

to

ha!

Your hair looks so cute today!

It suits you well!

Is that so?

Oh, right! Remember that seedling

I talked about the other day?

It has gotten so big!

I'll send it here once summer hits!

I'll look forward to that.

What's up with that?

As you can see, he really likes her.

What? Is she his girlfriend?

Oh, you take it that way?

No, I'm not!

Good grief. Don't be stupid.

Yeah! Don't be stupid!

What do you take her for?

TA-DA

-She's my little sister!

-That's not true either!

What does he mean?

We were raised in the same orphanage.

And he just calls me that on his own.

Oh

That's all?

Hold up

-Little sister? Not big sister?

-Yeah.

How old are you?

Sixteen. The same as you.

You liar! You look

way too old for sixteen!

No matter how you cut it,

you're over twe

That was dangerous!

What the hell are you doing?

That's right

Kotoha is very mature.

Goodness, Sugishita!

Don't go tossing things around like that.

Umemiya dotes on Kotoha-chan a lot.

If he finds out that Kotoha-chan

got into any danger

you know what'll happen, right?

Okay.

So good!

Kotoha's omelet rice is

the best in all of Japan!

Just shut up and eat.

Huh? You're not eating, Hiragi?

No, I

I was thinking about what

Shishitoren was like in the past.

Me too. I think

they've been pretty lame lately.

They were different before?

Devotees of power

Shishitoren was a team that

simply sought strength in fights.

They are a lot of hotheads

there, yeah, but

they were never a team that would

chase around some middle school kid.

There was one time when

we had an all-out clash with them.

It was a fierce brawl,

but it was a feel-good fight.

But

grisly rumors began to spread

ever since Tomiyama became their leader.

What happened today wasn't anything new.

I've heard a ton of stories about

how they'd force their way into a fight.

Both Tomiyama and Togame

were like symbols

of their devotion to power,

who cared about their team the most

Just how did things change so much?

Well, it all probably changed

because of Tomiyama.

Because of him? How exactly?

I don't know much myself.

But we'll get it when

we talk to them tomorrow.

Talk to them?

But we're going to fight them, aren't we?

No, no.

Fighting is a type of

communication, Sakura-kun.

Sometimes, fists serve as a language that

allows you to understand your opponent.

But well, it's a language that

only we know how to speak.

Kotoha, seconds please!

It's way past the time

for the last orders.

CAFÉ POTHOS

All right, guys! Don't be late tomorrow!

Kotoha! I'll come again!

Everyone!

I never got the chance

to tell you all, so

Thank you so much for saving me!

I wish you luck on your fight tomorrow!

Yeah!

Don't you worry. We'll be fine.

We'll give it our best.

It's not like we're fighting for your sa

You're a real idiot.

All you gotta say is,

"You can leave it to us."

Just leave the rest

to your big brothers here!

Leave it to us

Good!

Sakura-san, your face is bright red.

Shut up!

Fighting is communication

Fists are a language.

I never thought of it that way.

All right, now then

Let's go!

I've never

gone into a fight for someone else's sake.

But

although I'm not sure why

I feel more invincible than ever before.

Ume-chan!

Welcome to our turf!

Yo.

Thanks for having us.

Sakura-san, I had my suspicion,

but do you hate vegetables?

What? You got a problem with it?

It's not like I'll have any problem

by not eating them.

But since our boss Umemiya-san

is raising vegetables,

maybe vegetables are

his source of strength?

So you're saying

I'm weak because I don't eat

my vegetables?

No! Of course not!

That's it! I'm taking you down!
