Reporter: The final test is the vaulting box!
Reporter: This test requires coordination, explosive strength, flexibility, stamina, timing, and speed...
Reporter: You need a well-balanced sense of gymnastics!
Reporter: There are a total of 18 levels in the vaulting box. The highest level is over two meters tall.
Nikaido Yamato: Over two meters!? No way, thatâs impossible. You need CGI or something to make it look doable.
Momo: You never know, it might be! Everyone, do you best and be careful not to get hurt!
Osaka Sougo: Thatâs right!
Reporter: Now, letâs start from level 8!
Reporter: Ready, start!
Inumaru Touma: âŠAhh! My right foot got caughtâŠ!
Yaotome Gaku: Nice fight, Inumaru!
Inumaru Touma: Thanks! So there are only three people left now.
Natsume Minami: You can tell whoâs gonna end up at the top when doing vaulting boxes since theyâre going at it by level.
Isumi Haruka: Go for it, Tora! Show them what a drama stuntman can do!
Mido Torao: Yeah!
Isumi Haruka: He actually responded.
Inumaru Touma: I bet heâs so nervous he didnât even hear you.
Natsume Minami: If you make it, you better treat us!
Mido Torao: Got it!
Isumi Haruka: He actually agreed.
Inumaru Touma: Nice.
Yotsuba Tamaki: Do your best Nagicchi! Donât lose!
Rokuya Nagi: Fufufu⊠Yes! Iâll show them what Iâm made of!
Nanase Riku: Nagi, youâre really good at vaulting! Keep goingâŠ!
Izumi Iori: Is it really okay for a prince to be jumping over a two meters box?
Izumi Mitsuki: Get their ass, Nagi!
Nikaido Yamato: Donât lose to Mido and Tsunashi-san!
Kujo Tenn: Ryuu, you got this! I know you can do it!
Yaotome Gaku: Do your best! And donât get hurt!
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: I will! Root for me!
Momo: Since itâs easy to see whoâs left, theyâre turning this into a cheering match! I wish I survived this long to be cheered on too!!
Yuki: I dropped out at level 13, so Iâve been cheering for you this whole time.
Nikaido Yamato: What level are they at now?
Izumi Mitsuki: They just cleared level 17, and now theyâre challenging level 18! Do your best, you threeâŠ!
Mido Torao: Yes!
Rokuya Nagi: YES!
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Iâm going for it!
Reporter: Now, take your positions! Ready, start!
Mido Torao: âŠ! I did it!
Reporter: 1st place! Mido Torao-san! Cleared level 18!
Isumi Haruka: He did it!
Inumaru Touma: Amazing!
Natsume Minami: Congratulations!
Reporter: Tied for 2nd place! Rokuya Nagi-san and Tsunashi Ryuunosuke-san!
Rokuya Nagi: OH⊠How unfortunate.
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Ahh, that was so close. Torao-kun really has control over his body thanks to his stunt work.
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: But we put up a good fight, right Nagi-kun?
Rokuya Nagi: We did. Congratulations, Mido-shi.
Mido Torao: Thanks!
Reporter: Mido-san, whatâs your secret to winning the vaulting box event!?
Mido Torao: Ummm⊠thanks to my membersâ support.
Natsume Minami, Isumi Haruka & Inumaru Touma: Yaaaay!
Natsume Minami: Not that he could hear us, though.
Reporter: With that, the physical ability test is complete! We will now divide you into two teams based on your results.
Reporter: While we finalize distributing the teams, please enjoy some refreshments!
Nanase Riku: Red and White teams, huh? I wonder how weâll be divided!
Inumaru Touma: Weâre usually in separate groups, so it would be awesome if we could be in the same team, Riku.
Nanase Riku: Yes!
Yuki: Iâm always with Momo, so I hope weâre in the same team again.
Momo: I donât care either way! Ahh, finally, I got my hands on my favorite personâs physical fitness data⊠Iâm over the moonâŠ
Yuki: Thanks. All that running around was worth it if youâre happy.
Momo: These numbers are so adorable. Iâll use them as my phone passcodeâŠ
Yaotome Gaku: Since weâre already here, I actually hope Iâm on a different team from Ryuu. I wanna go all out against him.
Kujo Tenn: I get that. I wanna be completely overwhelmed by his power.
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: You two are still at it huh? I wish youâd say you wanted to be on the same team as meâŠ
Kujo Tenn: This is a rare opportunityâŠ
Yaotome Gaku: It sure is.
Isumi Haruka: Different teams, huhâŠ
Natsume Minami: I donât mind either way, butâŠ
Mido Torao: I guess weâll be on separate teamsâŠ
Reporter: Thank you for waiting! The teams have been decided!
Nikaido Yamato: Whoa, that was fast.

Rokuya Nagi: YES!
Reporter: Yaotome Gaku-san!
Yaotome Gaku: Yeah!
Reporter: Yuki-san!
Yuki: Yes!
Reporter: Natsume Minami-san!
Natsume Minami: Yes.
Reporter: Mido Torao-san!
Mido Torao: Yes.
Reporter: That concludes the 8 members of the White Team!
Inumaru Touma: So thatâs how they split us up!
Natsume Minami: ĆčOOឌ ended up being divided into the vocal group and performance group.
Nanase Riku: Te⊠Kujo-san and Touma-san are with me! So are Sougo-san, Tsunashi-san, Momo-san and Haruka-kun!
Izumi Iori: This is gonna be the Nanase-san pampering group, isnât itâŠ
Nanase Riku: Iori, weâre on the same team too! Letâs do our best!
Izumi Iori: Well, yes.
Izumi Mitsuki: That makes us rivals, Iori!
Izumi Iori: I⊠suppose so.
Izumi Mitsuki: Come at me with all youâve got!
Izumi Iori: Of course.
Reporter: Youâll be competing as the Red and White teams during the actual event!
Reporter: You might feel a bit odd since you'll be teaming up with members outside your usual groups.
Reporter: So, to help you build teamwork, weâve prepared these envelopes!
Reporter: Red Team, this envelope is for you!
Momo: Whatâs this?
Reporter: White Team, hereâs your envelope!
Yaotome Gaku: Thank you. Can we open it now?
Reporter: Go ahead, yeah!
Nanase Riku: Whatâs inside?
Momo: Letâs see⊠a gift card for yakiniku! (Grilled meat)
Inumaru Touma: Yakiniku! Awesome!!
Yaotome Gaku: We got a gift card for sukiyaki. (Hot pot)
Yotsuba Tamaki: Sukiyaki!
Nikaido Yamato: Nice, awesome! Letâs eat sukiyaki and improve our teamwork!
Reporter: You all must be hungry after all these physical tests, so go enjoy some delicious food as you improve your bond!
Haruka Isumi: Yay! Yakiniku! Izumi, letâs see who can eat more!
Izumi Iori: Youâre challenging the wrong person.
Haruka Isumi: I know, but Yotsubaâs not with us so I have to challenge you instead!
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Iâll take you on. Iâm confident I can win.
Haruka Isumi: Oh shit⊠you seem really strongâŠ
Momo: Momo-chan loves meat too! so Iâm confident!
Inumaru Touma: Me too! Sougo, you donât eat much, so donât push yourself.
Osaka Sougo: Thank you, youâre very kind.
Kujo Tenn: The Red team fosters a lot of kind-hearted people.
Izumi Iori: Please exclude me from that. Iâm supposed to be the cool one.
Nanase Riku: But Ioriâs kind too! Everyoneâs so nice~! Iâm really looking forward to the yakiniku!
Yuki: Sukiyaki, huh⊠Iâm not really a fanâŠ
Nikaido Yamato: I figured. Iâll take the meat. Iâll swish some greens in the broth for you.
Natsume Minami: Rokuya-san, do you like sukiyaki?
Rokuya Nagi: I love it! Sukiyaki is the OG Japanese dish!
Rokuya Nagi: But the raw egg is a bit⊠I canât help but wonder. Were there no other optionsâŠ?
Natsume Minami: Do you want a substitute for raw egg? How about custard cream or something?
Mido Torao: That sounds absolutely disgusting⊠Also, how exactly does eating sukiyaki build teamwork?
Yotsuba Tamaki: You know. Thereâs always someone in charge of the pot.
Izumi Mitsuki: Ah, I see. Iâm usually the one in charge so maybe I should leave it to someone else this time.
Izumi Mitsuki: You gotta communicate, right?
Mido Torao: Iâd rather have someone who knows what heâs doing take overâŠ
Nikaido Yamato: If Mitsu doesnât do it, who will?
Yaotome Gaku: If youâll allow me to take the lead, Iâll take it.
Nikaido Yamato: "Take the leadâ? Do you really need to make sukiyaki sound so cool?
Yaotome Gaku: You thought that was cool?
Yuki: Iâll take charge of the pot then. I wonât be eating the meat, so Iâll be free.
Yotsuba Tamaki: Then Iâll take charge of the eating!
Natsume Minami: Iâd also like to take charge of the eating.
Mido Torao: Same here, for the most partâŠ
Rokuya Nagi: Of course, I would like everything around me to be taken care of as well.
Nikaido Yamato: I see. The white team is severely deficient in reliable people.
Yotsuba Tamaki: Well yeah, Rikkun took most of them.
Rokuya Nagi: Rikuâs luck really shines in moments like these.
Takanashi Tsumugi: And so, they built their teamwork through yakiniku and sukiyakiâŠ
Momo: Riku, the meatâs ready.
Nanase Riku: Yaaaay!
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Riku-kun, this one looks tasty too.
Nanase Riku: Awesome!
Inumaru Touma: Riku, want me to peel your shrimp for you?
Kujo Tenn: Here you go, the corn is grilled just right.
Osaka Sougo: Riku-kun, do you want a new drink? I got apple juice.
Haruka Isumi: Nanase-san, do you wanna try a little kinako ice cream?
Izumi Iori: Youâre all spoiling him too much!!
Yaotome Gaku: Alright. Iâll take the lead.
Yuki: Iâll manage the pot.
Izumi Mitsuki: I should just step back and just observe.
Yotsuba Tamaki: Iâm taking the extra meat!
Nikaido Yamato: Onii-sanâs eating too!
Natsume Minami: I will take some too.
Rokuya Nagi: I donât need a large portion, but Iâd like a beautifully marbled cut with a good balance of meat and fat.
Mido Torao: Got any Matsuzaka or Tajima beef? (1)
Takanashi Tsumugi: And so, the day of the Idol Sports Festival arrived.
To be continuedâŠ
Matsuzaka beef & Tajima beef are two expensive, high-end cuts of wagyu beef.
#i love ZOOL so much #they're so stupid #Riku deserves to be spoiled !!
