Chapter 1: No Funds for Summer

I know! Let's take a trip to the beach!

We'll bring bananas as snacks!

We haven't made a decision yet and you're already talking about snacks.

Just to make sure, are we still okay on budget?

Umm... Actually...

Although the year isn't even halfway over, we are beginning to run low.

I figured that'd be the case.

Come on, everyone. It's not even summer yet!

It's because you waste too much money on snacks, Chairwoman!

What?! No, I don't!

Oh, how about this? Each squad can test their courage in a series of dares.

That does sound like the perfect summer activity. Not to mention, budget-friendly.

Umm... I don't know about this test of courage idea.

Oh! How about a festival instead? Nothing says summer like a festival!

It'd be fun to test our courage together! Kenny and Baldy and Yumichi can help, too!

They're out in the mountains right now, but they'll help us out for sure once they're back!

That would be its own test of courage.

What did they go to the mountains for?

It was probably for some sort of mountain training retreat.

Right, right, something like that! Or we could make monsters together. Should we ask Mayurin?

No way! That sounds terrifying!

Wait, Isane! Come back!

I'm sure Yachiru was kidding, but we'll reject that idea since she's so against it.

Come on now, stop running away and get back here.

Please promise that we won't be doing any tests of courage.

Yes, so don't worry.

Going back to the idea mentioned earlier, how about a festival?

In that case, let's make it a fireworks festival.

We could watch spectacular fireworks, enjoy the bustle of the food stands, and feel the refreshing night air.

It's the perfect event to give ourselves a moment of relaxation.

That does sound fun, but what's with the sudden enthusiasm, Captain Soi Fon?

Do you have any objections? If you have a better idea, I am willing to hear it out.

No, I'm not objecting to anything!
