Episode 8
The weather is nice today.
Perfect for launching a rocket.
Raimon-san, you promised.
You said if we won, you'd listen to us.
You're always so persistent.
I know, I know.
But that's only if you can win.
We win. Definitely.
Starting countdown. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Launch!
I show you the altitude readings along with your results.
Alright, it's your turn next.
Let's do this.
Starting countdown. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Launch!

We reached 137 meters, and Matataki reached 80 meters.
I lost.
Well, I guess you understand now, right?
You don’t need me.
This result proves it.
Even without me, you guys can do just fine.
Why?
Huh?
Hey!
I knew it.
Why did you use a lower output engine?
I thought this would be enough against you guys.
That’s a lie! You said you wouldn’t lose.
I thought it was a handicap, but you guys easily outdid me.
I am a fool.
Results are results.
You should wake up to reality.
There is no point in staying with someone like me, right?
So, this is the last time for us.
What is with you all of a sudden?
Sorry. I'm sorry.
I didn’t understand you at all, Raimon-san.
I’m sorry.
Huh?
Raimon-san, you’re searching for a reason to be here.
A reason to belong here, a place to call home.
You’ve been searching for it all this time.
I didn’t even realize that
Shut up!
Don’t talk like you know everything.
Don’t mess with me. I’m not looking for that.
Don't act like you know how I feel!
That’s a lie. Everything you said is a lie.
Your heart is too easy to read, Shun.
You know, Raimon-san.
Wherever you and everyone else are
became the place where I belong.
So this time
I want to be that place for you, Raimon-san!
When we competed before
I only talked about the goggles.
But today
As your friend
I’m going to tell you properly, so please listen.
Let’s aim for the sky together again, Raimon-san.
Why? Why do you keep trying?
I said such terrible things to you so many times.
When you use those words, Matataki..
It's because you’re hurting the most inside, isn’t it?
I knew that all along.
I also know you acted strong.
To help the club move forward more than anyone else.
No, that’s not it.
I was just neglecting you all
Only thinking about myself to win the match.
And still ended up losing miserably.
The truth is, I have nothing.
There’s really nothing inside me.
I have nothing.
If it’s going to disappear, I don’t want it in the first place.
Words, comfort
They won’t disappear.
Words, feelings.
They’ll always
Over and over
I’ll keep bringing them to you, Raimon-san.
So
They won’t disappear.
I was happy too, you know.
Making rockets with you all.
That’s why I didn’t want to lose it.
Even now, deep down.
I want to
Make rockets with you all again.
Sorry, even if I apologize now.
No, it’s fine.
I’m sorry too.
Matataki, I’m sorry I’m sorry too!
I’m sorry too.
Umika, Yu, Haruno
I’m sorry.
Thank you.
Cool Matataki-chan definitely needs this.
You fool, there’s nothing cool about this.
I lost, and yet
You didn’t lose.
You didn’t lose, Matataki-chan.
Model Rocket Championship, two-time national champions.
Ryūoka Institute of Science and Technology!
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
What are you all looking at?
A video of the Model Rocket Championship.
A rocket?
They’re launched with a gunpowder engine.
Wow, gunpowder and engines, that’s really intense.
No, no, model rockets are really hot right now.
Right, President Konohoshi?
Huh? Oh, yeah.
This is the perfect chance to promote our club activities.
Ki-Kinashi-san.
Um, uh
It’s okay. Nassy said she’d watch the video later.
So So, and you exchanged messages, didn’t you?
But still, I couldn’t talk well.
When I think I need to talk properly
I get so nervous that my mind goes blank,
and I can’t find the words.
It was the same when I gave the speech at the championship.
I kept regretting it.
This has nothing to do with the club goals.
Sorry.
It’s fine just like that.
Huh?
I want to give meaning to the
things I build with my own hands.
I don’t want to make a rocket that can’t even fly properly.
That’s why I’ll come back for next year’s championship.
As my own personal goal.
So you should also be honest about your goal.
And think about our activities moving forward.
My goal.
I
I want to.
Be able to talk to people properly.
The whole class watched the video of our rocket launch.
And gave us so many compliments.
I was really happy.
I was glad I participated in the championship.
It was a chance for people who had no clue
about model rockets to get familiar with them.
This weekend, there’s another club president meeting.
It’s just a simple activity report.
But this time, I want to be able to talk more calmly.
Good luck, Umika.
You can do it.
It’s from Kinashi-san.
I watched it with everyone from the volleyball club!!
The rocket is really flying!
So strong!!!
Shinoboshi-san, do your best in club activities too!!
Tell me more about the rocket next time!
Thank goodness.
How should I reply?
Should we send a picture too?
A picture? Of what?
My forehead feels fuzzy.
August 10th, Model Rocket Championship
We, the Rocket Research Club.
Still haven’t returned.
Akeuchi-san.
Nervousness, anxiety, impatience
You’re really nervous, aren’t you?
Yes.
B-but
It’s not just negative feelings.
I also have a lot of positive feelings.
Like wanting to be able to talk better.
I feel like I’m slowly changing.
I see.
So, if I could just stop being so nervous.
Maybe you don’t need to force yourself to stop.
If the listeners.
Can understand how you feel.
Maybe you’ll feel more at ease and find it easier to talk.
Y-yeah, that’s true, but
Then
Now, let’s hear from the Rocket Research Club.
Yes.
Before the activity report.
I I have something I’d like to say.
How about asking the club presidents to help?
If you honestly tell them before the presentation
That you’re nervous
It might make it easier to give your best report.
Asking for help because you’re bad at public speaking?
Are you serious?
But if I do that
Won’t they find it annoying or look at me badly?
It takes a lot of courage.
To show your weak side to others.
I couldn’t do it for a long time.
But but
That’s why no one will turn away from that courage.
I’m not very good at talking in front of people.
So, I’ll probably stammer a lot.
And stop often.
So, if there’s anything you can’t understand.
Please don’t hesitate to let me know.
I’ll do my best to make sure you can understand.
I I ask for your support.
Understood. Thank you for telling us first.
Take your time. There’s no rush.
Speak at your own pace.
If you need a drink of water, just say so.
Thank you very much.
Do your best.
Yes.
Now, I’ll give the report.
Takaragi -san.
Thank you.
Thank you so so much.
You know I always thought.
That I had to speak properly.
Which only made it worse.
But when I thought it was okay to make mistakes.
I was able to give my presentation more calmly than usual.
And I was able to put our practice to good use.
It was your great courage that created
A space for you to speak today, Umika.
Thank you.
Raimon-san, Akeuchi-san.
Thank you for practicing with me every day.
No, I’m glad too.
I’m glad you were able to speak, Umika.
Anyway, I’m glad it all went well.
Yes.
Alright, let’s go home!
I’m going to sleep soundly tonight.
Matataki-chan, you always seem ready to sleep anytime.
Fool! Even I have sleepless nights.
I’m happy I’m so happy.
I’m really happy.
I’m so happy.
Really really.
But but, if Umika.
Can’t talk well with others.
There’s no need to worry.
Because Umika has my forehead-telepathy.
Let me see!
I want to see!
Ah, give it to me!
Ah!
That’s mine!
