Ep. 18: Perasaan Nao! Tongkat yang Menghubungkan Ikatan Semua Orang!!

18

As their class shows little enthusiasm for the sports festival, Nao nominates herself and the other girls to run for the relay team. Yayoi does not have much confidence in her running ability, but cheers up when Nao states she wants to run together with everyone. While the girls prepare for the contests, Yayoi overhears some other students badmouthing her, she loses her confidence again. As the day of the sports festival comes and Yayoi still has doubts, Akaoni appears and summons a blue-nosed Basket Akanbe, soon culminating in a tug of war with the girls. As Nao refuses to accept Akaoni denouncing teamwork, Yayoi regains her confidence and helps the others defeat the Akanbe. With the relay race finally underway, Yayoi gets support from the rest of the class and passes the baton. Although Nao trips and ends up coming last, her friends console her while their classmates commend them for the effort and making the entire day fun. (Source: Wikipedia)
