(Note: Since it might not reflect the edit/correction I made in the previous chapter, I’ll put this here. Satsuki is the one running in the last paragraph, not Maaya)

As Satsuki sprinted forward, Sakuma, who was also starting on the other side, took off right at the same time. Being a member of the Soccer Club he was naturally quick on his feet even if he still hadn’t made it into a regular.
He dashed forward, almost matching Satsuki’s speed.
But that’s it. It’s only almost. There wasn’t really a competition between them.
With Satsuki’s large strides, she immediately left behind, creating a considerable gap that’s more than ten of Sakuma’s steps.
Upon receiving the riddle, Aya took only a few seconds before getting the correct answer which Ryouko-san validated.
I really picked easy riddles earlier. No one had gotten stumped by any of it yet.
Soon, Satsuki was dashing again, leaving behind Sakuma who had just passed his card to his helper.
