Hummingbird Flight/Episode

## Sau giờ học, Học viện Arisugawa

 **Kurumi:**I’ve been thinking...You’re pretty lucky aren’t you, Miyu-chan?

 **Miyu:**Huh? Me..?

 **Miiko:**You’re absolutely right.

 **Miiko:**The cafeteria’s caneles are popular, so they’re usually sold out but whe Miyu-chan goes to buy them, there’s usually one left…

 **Kurumi:**One time, Miyu-chan was scheduled to sing at a choir event, and an approaching typhoon suddenly changed course!

 **Miiko:**I bet it’s because Miyu-chan always takes her prayers seriously. She has an angel watching over her♪

 **Miyu:**\*chuckle\* I don’t think so. Like the nuns always say, the Lord loves all of us equally.

 **Kurumi:**I don’t know about that but.. Miyu-chan, fortune does seem to shine on you.

 **Haruna:**...Hold on. I’m going to have to disagree with what you just said.

 **Miyu:**...Haruna-chan?

 **Haruna:**It's true that Miyu-san gets good grades and is admired by her teachers and fellow students alike, not to mention her extraordinary voice…

 **Haruna:**But that’s because Miyu-san is always nice to others, and she works extremely hard on a daily basis.

 **Haruna:**Her good fortune is nothing short of the reward she reaps for her constant selflessness.

 **Kurumi:**Oh, I suppose that’s one way to look at it.

 **Miiko:**Leave it to Haruna-chan to be the voice of reason.

 **Miyu:**Haruna-chan, I appreciate the compliment but… you’re going to make me blush from all that praise.

 **Miyu:**Besides, I’ll be the first to admit, I feel very fortunate.

 **Miyu:**I’ve been blessed with good health, and I’m surrounded by wonderful people…

 **Haruna:**I’m sorry Miyu-san, but you can’t convince me otherwise.

 **Haruna:**The fact that you’re happy and healthy is a direct result of your stellar character…

 **Haruna:**Why, Miyu-san, to brush it all off as a stroke of good luck would be an insult… no, a sacrilege!

 **Miyu:**S-sacrilege…?

 **Kurumi:**Hmm, I admit, Miyu-chan is amazing but there’s no reason for you to be boasting about it, Chairman.

 **Kurumi:**...I know! Why don’t we try an experiment to test your theory?

 **Miyu, Haruna, Miiko:**An experiment?

 **Kurumi:**The rules are simple. Miyu-chan, Haruna-chan, I want you two to play the card game, Old Maid, 100 times.

 **Kurumi:**If Miyu-chan really is luckier than others, she should win easily!

 **Miyu:**You had me worried there when you mentioned an experiment, but I suppose a card game can’t hurt.

 **Haruna:**While your motives are questionable, I suppose I can go along.

 **Haruna:**I will do my best to debunk the theory that it is merely good luck, and defend Miyu-san’s honor.

 **Miyu:**(Haruna-chan’s motives are just as questionable, if you ask me…)

 **Miiko:**Okay, let the experiment begin♪

## Trận thứ 99

 **Miyu:**Hmm...Right?

 **Haruna:**(Oh…! N-no. Not that one…!)

 **Miyu:**Or left..?

 **Haruna:**(Yes! That one… Choose the joker, Miyu-san!)

 **Miyu:**I’ll go with… right!

 **Haruna:**Huh?!

 **Miiko:**Miyu-chan wins! That makes 99 to 0.

 **Kurumi:**Chairman… that’s pathetic. In fact, your face gives you away. It can hardly be called an experiment.

 **Miiko:**But it does prove that Miyu-chan is extremely lucky.

 **Miiko:**Even if Haruna-chan is a really bad player, she should be able to win at least once.

 **Haruna:**Hmph…!

 **Miyu:**S-sorry, Haruna-chan. I don’t know why I keep winning…

 **Haruna:**No… it’s not your fault, Miyu-san.

 **Haruna:**It’s my fault that I can’t clear your name, Miyu-san.

 **Miyu:**(There’s really no need for that…)

 **Haruna:**...But I refuse to give up. If nothing else… I will win at least one game!

 **Kurumi:**I think you’re wasting your time. But, good luck.

## Trận thứ 100

 **Haruna:**T-this one…!

 **Miyu:**Wow… Haruna-chan, you did it!

 **Haruna:**Oh?! That means…

 **Miiko:**You won, Haruna-chan. The score is now 99 to 1.

 **Haruna:**I… I did it! I won!

 **Haruna:**See? This proves my point. Miyu-san’s good fortune is not due to luck but hard work!

 **Kurumi:**Well… She did manage to lose a game to you, Haruna-chan. I suppose that makes her unlucky in a way…

 **Miyu:**\*chuckle\* That’s true.

 **Miyu:**But I’m glad. Whether I’m lucky or not, I got to see Haruna-chan’s smile.

 **Haruna:**Oh, Miyu-san…! See, that’s what I mean! That's what’s so amazing about you!

 **Miiko:**(Huh? ...So in the end, things worked out just the way Miyu-chan wanted.)

 **Miiko:**(I guess Miyu-chan really is…)

 **Miyu:**Why don’t the four of us play cards together? I bet it’s more fun that way!
