Sage: Hello, Manager.
Shop manager: Oh, Sage-kun, welcome! The insoles for your running shoes have arrived.
Sage: Thank you! Hehe, this manufacturer's insoles are really soft and comfy. ♪
Shop manager: They minimize the strain on your feet significantly, but they wear down quickly.
Well, if you notice your shoes are wearing out again, please bring them to me. I'll fix them up.
Sage: Thank you, as always.
Shop manager: Don't mention it; anything for a regular. I'll go get your order, just give me a second.
Sage: Sure, thank you!

Hm?
(This poster... A street basket tournament? Heh, I had no idea there was such an event.)
Shop manager: Oh, do you like basket? Why don't you participate, then?
Sage: Huh? In the tournament?
Shop manager: You see~ They're holding it in Red South this year, and I'm also assisting with management, but we're having problems because of the low number of entries.
Heroes used to compete and liven up the tournament, but they haven't done so in recent years.
If you participated, I believe the tournament would be a blast. Since you're also affiliated with South Sector and all.
Sage: Well, I am interested, but... isn't basketball a 5v5 sport?
Shop manager: Street basket is a sport played with a small group of people, so the tournament will be a 4 on 4 format.
Sage: Four, huh...
Shop manager: I'm not forcing you to do this. Everyone can join as long as they are adults, so don't worry too much about it.
Sage: Got it. I'll reach out to a few friends I believe would be interested in participating.
Bianchi: Street basket, you say?
Sage: Yeah, I thought it'd be fun if the four of us participated. Our last visit to the casino was a blast!
Bianchi: Fufu, we've been through a lot, though.
Sage: I understand you're busy, so I'm not trying to force you...
Bianchi: Sounds great to me; count me in.
Sage: Bianchi-san...!
Bianchi: My siblings have been feeling bummed because they can't cheer for us anymore after we stopped participating in LOMs.
But they can come to cheer for us in a basket tournament, so it's like hitting two birds with one stone. ♪
Jude: It goes without saying that if Bianchi participates, I will too. I'll make sure their siblings have lots of reasons to root for us.
Sage: Waah...! Thank you, Jude-kun!
... What about you, Nico?
Nico: Going up against tall people seems exhausting.
Sage: Being tall is ideal in this sport. However, with your physical ability, you'll be alright, Nico. ♪
Nico: ... Sure. If you want to play, then we'll play.
Sage: Nico ♪
Bianchi: Nobody is going to defeat us.
Jude: Our win will be a gift to you, Bianchi.
Sage: Yes, if we're going to do it, we should win! Let's do our best, everyone!
Everyone: Yeah!
