Hayazono Tatsuya
Adaniya Hiroshi
Miyaichi Shinichirou
Higashijima Eita
Team 6

p2
Fujino Gaku
Subaru Yuuto
Kasugai Akari
Shibata Rin
These four are Team 7

p3
So we'll go with these seven teams for the total of 28 students in class A
And now, without further delay---

left: The class is settled. The teams are settled too. So what's next...?

188
p1
We'll train using a spaceship simulator!!

p2
A spaceship already!? That's quick...
Because this is class A
Ohhhh!!
We can practice spaceship operation already!!

p3
We have to operate a spaceship all of a sudden!?
Isn't that too rough!?

p4
Don't worry
The training itself will be simple

p5
Assemble at the pier behind the school building at 1400!!
Dismissed!!

189
p1
Kasugai-san
Shibata-san

p2
Thank you for teaming up with us

p3
We were able to stay in class A thanks to you

p4
And you're a high ranked 3rd and 4th pair too
The look on Kaburagi's face when we joined was...

p5
Honestly, I didn't think there'd be anyone who'd support our views
You really saved us!!

p6
Not really

190
p1
We don't really support your views or anything

p2
Eh!?
What do you mean?

p3
It was simply convenient to team up with you... Well, that's probably overstating it
But it's a good balance of advantages and disadvantages

p4
Balance of advantages and disadvantages?

p5
Guys like you, who haven't demonstrated sufficient achievements, are in class A

191
p1
If we, ranked 3rd and 4th, pick up such guys, it'll reflect on our own evaluation
What's more, if we cover for your mistakes during our future training, that'll be evaluated as well

p2
And you too will be able to stay in class A
It's to our mutual advantage

p3
Don't... mess with us, you...!
Gaku, calm down!!

p4
So, Kasugai-san
You don't want to join Sirius like we do?

p5
I want to become a special grade astronaut
※Special grade astronauts... They're astronauts who possess the highest grade qualifications, their unique mission is to be deep space navigators (commonly known as "Sirius").

192
p1
What I want is to have the top status as a special grade astronaut
I'm not interested in space, or astronauts, or the Jupitneer 11

p2
Whaaaat!!!
I... I see

p3
By the way
Uwa!

p4
You interest me
Subaru Yuuto-kun

p5
Eh!?

193
p1
Fujino Gaku-kun over there
Fugah!?

p2
Based on my analysis, you have pretty good physical ability and deep knowledge of space equipment
And the probable reason you were selected for class A is your outstanding supportive abilities

p3
Basically
You're a personification of being considerate

p4
W... Well, yeah~~~
Gaku is considerate... how exactly?

p5
But I don't understand you
Subaru Yuuto-kun

p6
Your physical and academic abilities are average, so what do you have that got you picked for class A?
I'll be able to observe you while we're on the same team

194
p1

p2
gobble
gobble

p3
Gaku, if you eat too much, it might affect your training
I can't bear not eating!!

p4
That damn Kasugai Akari!!
She wants to use us as her dupes

p5
But she did save us with that
Whose side are you on, Yuuto!?

p6
In any case, Yuuto, you don't think anything about
How they said all that about us!?

196
p1
Well, at first I was pissed off too, but
...Somehow

p2
Somehow?

p3
I was a little surprised

p4
Huuuh!?

p5
What's so surprising!?

p6
Even if they're aiming to be astronauts just like us
There are people whose way of thinking is so different from yours or mine

196
p1
Ever since I was little, I listened to my dad and Kousei talk about space
I didn't understand them at all, but I wanted to to join their conversations too
//So I thought I'd become an astronaut so I could join in with them

p2
But, like Kasugai-san, who's not interested in space or astronauts
To think that there are people like that who want to become astronauts...

p3
No no
I think that girl's just unusual

p4
Certainly, I'm angry that she'd use as as her dupes
I know, right?

p5
But on the other hand, if we cover up for her mistakes, we'll have her beaten!!
Beaten...

197
p1

p2
Ohhh!!
This is awesome!!
Wow, big...

p3
The simulators we'll be using for training are inside this ship
Each team, get inside the simulator assigned to you!!

198
p1
Wow---!!
This interior is surely MTS-22!!

p2
It's the forerunner of all spaceships when they switched to full auto!!

p3
Of course, since we're under the force of gravity, the functions on the ceiling aren't included
...That's a space machinery maniac for you

p4
Heh~~~
It's pretty spacious on the inside

p5
Of course it is!!
MTS-22 is based on the concept of "Commute to the Moon in comfort" and is complete with simple private cabins...
R- Really...

p6
All teams are aboard

199
p1
First, each team is to decide on the leader!!
Once you've decided, enter the leader's name in the terminal in the center. At that time, the training will begin.

p2
Leader?

p3
It means the leader of the spaceship simulation
The commander, in other words

p4
So who'll
Be the leader?

200
p1
How about you, Subaru-kun?

p2
M- Me!?

p3
But you're the son of the Jupitneer project leader Subaru Daichi-san
I think you should be qualified

p4
No, it's a big role for me...
In that case, shouldn't we pick someone with better results than me, like Kasugai-san or Shibata-san...?

p5
Noooo!!!
I'm completely opposed to one of them being the leader!!

p6
Think about it
//If one of them is the leader, they'll just use us and squeeze all the juice out of us
Juice?

201
p1
Alright, then you do it, Gaku

p2
I'd rather be the pilot than the commander!!
We're not deciding on the pilot

p3
So, that leaves us with no other choice but you, Subaru-kun, right?

p4
That's right, after you made that grand declaration about being a special grade astronaut
Wasn't that you, Gaku!!?

p5
Well, first training probably won't be all that difficult
If anything goes wrong, I'll back you up

p6
...
Okay fine

p7
beep
I'm Team 7 leader Subaru Yuuto

p8
beep beep beep
//Team 7 leader entered as "Subaru Yuuto"
Confirmed

202
p1/2

p3
What happened!?

p4/5

203
p1
Team 7 lock engaged

p2
We will now begin isolation environment training for deep space navigators!!
Isolation environment training?

p3
So it's not spaceship operation training!!
We were deceived!!

p4
While inside, you will complete assignments that are given to you

204
p1
The time period is two weeks
//You are strictly forbidden from going outside at that time
nb: We're supposed to spend two weeks inside here!?

p2
In order for you to spend two weeks, we've prepared
Some minimum materials, water, and food

p3
You can't open the exit door until your training has been completed!!

p4
As an exception
//In case of an emergency such as an injury or illness

205
p1
Press the square button on the side of the door
If you press it in an emergency, the door will open

p2
This one?

p3

p4
beep
Uh, wait, Gaku-kun!!

p5
Huh!?
It didn't open

p6
Only the leader has the right to open that door!!
What the...
However

206
p1
Whatever the situation may be, once the door is opened, all members of the team will be expelled from class A
!!
Everyone!?
We will not permit any changes in leadership while the exercise is in progress!!

p2
The team's fate is all in the hands of the leader

p3
The leader

p4
That's me?
nb: Everything is in Yuuto's hands!
