Bzzz--!
Question 32 fail
Kida Masashi
STAR CHILDREN // #6 Signal
left vert: Because it's simple, it's difficult to grasp. The biggest obstacle is "interpersonal relations"---.

p2
Again!?
Fujino-kun, this is the third time in a row you make a mistake!!
nb: Also read the interview with Wakata-san 4 pages prior!!

p3
Shut up, I know!!
Besides, you didn't support us and earn us some points either!!

p4
How am I supposed to support you in something like this!!?
I don't care, just do something!!
//Anyway, let's start the next one!!

p5
This isn't good... The atmosphere is getting worse and worse
I have to do something...

p6
Alright!!

2
p1
Let's break for now!!

p2
What are you talking about, Yuuto? We don't have the time to rest!!
That's right, there's a time limit to this!!

p3
Why
I thought you were fighting, but your opinions are actually the same

p4
Mmh...!

p5
Take a breather for now
And after that, let's all get in sync and try one more time

3
p1
Why do I have to get in sync with you!!? You're the ones who need to get in sync with me!!
Same here, I have to wish to get in sync with this woman!!

p2
Hold it, don't copy me!!
You don't copy me!!

p3
I knew it, you're on the same page after all

p4
We're not!!
//The same
We're not!!

p5
Ggghh...!

p6
...Anyway
//While we're taking a break
I have a proposal to make. Please listen

p7
A proposal?

4
p1
Working on this task itself is relatively simple
But I think there are two difficult points in it

p2
Two?

p3
The first one is the 10 second interval between questions. Surprisingly, I have a feeling that it drains our concentration
We get used to waiting for the next question and our minds start to wander

p4
The other problem is collective responsibility. The rule that one person's mistake becomes everyone's mistake turns into pressure little by little
In these conditions, you keep making mistakes and the pressure increases, and that pressure leads to ever more mistakes

p5
So what should we do?

p6
There's something I'd like to try

p7

5
p1
No way!!
It's embarrassing!!

p2
Embarrassing...?
Only the four of us are here

p3
But still!!
Besides, we're being observed by the instructors! What if we lose points for that!?

p4
It'll be alright
They didn't set any restrictions on how we can cooperate on this task

p5
Surprisingly, this might be a good idea
It's something I also did in the club in middle school

p6
B- But...

6
p1
Let's just try it. If it doesn't work, we'll think of something else!!
So let's test it out!!

p2

p3
Alright, let's go!!
Start!!

p4
Bzzz---
Question 1 fail

p5
Wha- Hold on, Subaru-kun!
Why did you fail immediately...?

p6

p1/2

p2
Come on!
Come on, everyone!!

p3

p4
O- Okay, okay!!
D- Don't mind!

p5/6

8
p1
It’s true, we can switch over this way, without feeling down in a weird way
We did this in the baseball club in middle school as well, after every mistake

p2
They say it makes sense in something like sports, every time there's a mistake you shout out and reset your emotions
I did this in the basketball club in middle school too

p3
Eh! You played basketball, Shibata?
Anything wrong with it?
...No

p4
Come on!!
Kasugai-san, you too!!

p5
Don't blame your partners even if they fail
Just high five and shout out!!

p6
D-
Don't mind

9
p1
Too weak!!
You're embarrassed!!
Kya!

p2
B- But I can't help it
I've never done something like this before...

p3
Do it harder
Give it a good slap

p4
Hard...

p5

p6
Don't
Mind!!

10
p1
Ouch...
Th- That was too hard...

p2
...But it's true
I might be able to switch over better compared to just going to the next one without doing anything

p3
...So, next
The interval...

p4

p5
Hmm!?
What happened?

p6
What are the Group 7 guys doing?

11
p1
Let me see

p2
He~~~~eh
How interesting

p3
True
//For 100 questions, we should maintain focus for about 18 and a half minutes
Because there are breaks in the middle and our minds start wandering, we need to do something to keep on track

p4
...But still
Such a childish trick

p5
Really? I like it!!
It's more exciting to do it together

p6
Somehow...
//It feels like everyone's thoughts come together...
Like when you greet the New Year...

12
p1
Or when a spaceship is about to lift off...

p2/3/4

p5
Yes!!

p6
Pin-pon!
//Question 51 correct
Yeah!!

13
p1

p2
Kasugai-san
Raise your voice!!

p3
You're the only one left out!!

p4
Once you start, it's actually fun

p5
Yes!!

p6
Bzzz!
//Question 53 fail
Uh
I- I'm sorry

p7

14
p1
Don't mind!
Gimme a five!!
Okaaay, switch over!!

p2/3

p4
Yes, don't mind!!

15
p1

p2
Yes!!
Pin-pon

p3
Good, next!!

p4
Group 7, 100 questions answered correctly!!

p5
Eh!?

p6
It was the hundredth just now!?

p7
Because we were counting out loud
We didn't even pay attention to what question number it was

16
p1
And we're
Done~~~~!!

p2
Mmmmm...!
I yelled too much, now my throat hurts

p3

p4
Have some water
Together with everyone

p5
Well, for a minute I didn't think we'd make it
But we got through it thanks to Yuuto's proposal

p6
I felt so embarrassed
So it's natural

17
p1
...You know

p2
At first, I had doubts whether this team could do it

p3
But now I want to get through the training with these members!!

p4

p5
What are you talking about, Yuuto? It was obvious!
That's right, it’s natural!
To boldly state that it's obvious... It has deep meaning

18
p1
Huhu
I knew it, that kid is interesting

p2
I don't acknowledge him
//That kind of a random and unreliable guy
As usual, you're a data supremacist, Jigami

p3
...But
When I look at that boy

p4
I remember Amami Kousei...

p5/6/7

19
p1

p2/3
What's the status?
It was was only for an instant, so we can't make the determination that it was the Jupitneer yet

p4
The exploration satellite trailing it caught a signal
What are your instructions---?

20
p1
Director Subaru!!
Continue the observations... Collect all data, no matter how trivial
nb: This big shot is Yuuto's father!!
nb: And is there a thread of hope that Kousei is alive...!?

p2
We can't discard even the slightest possibility
Report every little detail!!
