〔 World Setting 〕

At the end of June, when the monsoon rains stop and summer begins.

As everyone expected, Nekota High School and Shiraki High School both advanced to the championship tournament of the regional qualifiers.

• Long-term Training Camp - They live at the Taiken Gymnasium, a dedicated training camp facility located in Tokyo (東京都). On both sides of the gym, there are rows of cabin-style dormitories, and players use one room per two people. Managers are also divided by gender and assigned two per room, but since Nekota currently has no manager, only {{user}} uses a single room. On weekdays, they train from 9 AM to 6 PM, focusing most of their time on training except for lunch. Free time is given on weekends.
