1. STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICE
Copy !req
2. As for my hobbies,
Copy !req
3. I'm into all kinds of otaku interests.
Copy !req
4. I know most of the anime and manga
Copy !req
5. that are popular these days.
Copy !req
6. That's all.
Copy !req
7. Thank you.
Copy !req
8. With this, Kuze is an official member
of the student council.
Copy !req
9. Can you please work with Mariya today?
Copy !req
10. Sure.
Copy !req
11. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
12. Well,
Copy !req
13. you were the vice president
in junior high.
Copy !req
14. You'll get the hang of it soon.
Copy !req
15. But for now, follow the members
Copy !req
16. and learn about the job.
Copy !req
17. Is it because you're short-staffed?
Copy !req
18. Yes, to be honest,
we're lacking in manpower.
Copy !req
19. Sorry to interrupt your conversation.
Copy !req
20. About the exhibition,
Copy !req
21. I'd like to discuss it with the art club.
Copy !req
22. I'm counting on you.
Copy !req
23. Okay.
Copy !req
24. Also,
Copy !req
25. since we'll be discussing the budget,
Copy !req
26. I'd like the treasurer Alisa
to come with me.
Copy !req
27. What?
Copy !req
28. All right.
Copy !req
29. President, I'll be back in a bit.
Copy !req
30. Okay, thank you.
Copy !req
31. Judging from this situation,
she must have some other purpose.
Copy !req
32. I should be
Copy !req
33. the one to bring this up first.
Copy !req
34. Suou.
Copy !req
35. Do you have a minute?
Copy !req
36. Sure.
Copy !req
37. Why don't we use that empty classroom?
Copy !req
38. I've decided
Copy !req
39. to run for student council
president with Kuze.
Copy !req
40. Yes, I know.
Copy !req
41. Masachika told me about it yesterday.
Copy !req
42. I see.
Copy !req
43. Well, is this what you wanted
to talk about?
Copy !req
44. Yes. I didn't do anything wrong.
Copy !req
45. So I don't intend to apologize.
Copy !req
46. I just wanted to tell you in person.
Copy !req
47. I see.
Copy !req
48. Indeed,
Copy !req
49. you don't have to apologize to me.
Copy !req
50. Because it was Masachika's choice.
Copy !req
51. I have no complaints about that.
Copy !req
52. Nor do I want to vent
my frustrations to you.
Copy !req
53. It's a shame
Copy !req
54. that he didn't choose me, though.
Copy !req
55. Suou.
Copy !req
56. Is Kuze your...
Copy !req
57. No, it's nothing.
Copy !req
58. I love him.
Copy !req
59. More than anyone in the world.
Copy !req
60. More than anyone?
Copy !req
61. Yes.
Copy !req
62. Compared to my love for my mother
Copy !req
63. and father,
Copy !req
64. my love for Masachika
Copy !req
65. is much greater.
Copy !req
66. What about you, Alisa?
Copy !req
67. What?
Copy !req
68. How do you feel about Masachika?
Copy !req
69. I...
Copy !req
70. Kuze is my friend.
Copy !req
71. A very important friend.
Copy !req
72. Do you like him?
Copy !req
73. What?
Copy !req
74. So what is it?
Copy !req
75. Do you like him?
Copy !req
76. "Like"?
Copy !req
77. Well, this feeling...
Copy !req
78. I've made it clear that I love him.
Copy !req
79. Alisa,
Copy !req
80. you should be clear too.
Copy !req
81. Although I don't know
Copy !req
82. if I like him or not,
Copy !req
83. I will never
Copy !req
84. let you have Kuze!
Copy !req
85. I see.
Copy !req
86. Anyway,
Copy !req
87. hearing you say that today
is enough for me.
Copy !req
88. Well then, let's go to the art club.
Copy !req
89. Okay.
Copy !req
90. Right.
Copy !req
91. If you don't mind,
Copy !req
92. can I call you Alya too?
Copy !req
93. I always hear Masha
and Masachika call you that.
Copy !req
94. I find this nickname very cute.
Copy !req
95. That's fine.
Copy !req
96. Please call me Yuki from now on too.
Copy !req
97. Yuki.
Copy !req
98. I'm so happy.
Copy !req
99. I think...
Copy !req
100. I just blurted out something outrageous.
Copy !req
101. Masha, about this part...
Copy !req
102. There's a mistake here.
Copy !req
103. Is that so?
Copy !req
104. I'll fix it then.
Copy !req
105. Yes, please.
Copy !req
106. Is she for real?
Copy !req
107. She's really good at her job.
Copy !req
108. On the other hand...
Copy !req
109. This. I think I saw it somewhere.
Copy !req
110. Wait, why did this happen?
Copy !req
111. Chisaki.
Copy !req
112. The library is going to change
its collection of books today.
Copy !req
113. I heard they're short-staffed.
Copy !req
114. Leave it to me!
Copy !req
115. I'm sorry, Kuze.
Copy !req
116. That's just how Chisaki is.
Copy !req
117. It may not seem so,
Copy !req
118. but she's the best at coordinating
Copy !req
119. between committees and clubs.
Copy !req
120. It's fine.
Copy !req
121. This is putting the right person
in the right place.
Copy !req
122. Let's take a break.
Copy !req
123. I'll make some black tea.
Copy !req
124. Let me help.
Copy !req
125. It's okay.
Copy !req
126. Just sit and wait.
Copy !req
127. I love making tea.
Copy !req
128. Kuze, do you like your tea with milk?
Copy !req
129. Or sugar?
Copy !req
130. There's jam too.
Copy !req
131. Jam?
Copy !req
132. Could that be Russian tea?
Copy !req
133. Since I'm here, I'll add some jam.
Copy !req
134. Okay.
Copy !req
135. President, you're fine
with protein powder, right?
Copy !req
136. How's that fine?
Copy !req
137. I didn't know you made jokes like that.
Copy !req
138. What?
Copy !req
139. In Russia,
Copy !req
140. isn't black tea a winter beverage?
Copy !req
141. I think it's different for every family.
Copy !req
142. At least in my family,
Copy !req
143. we drink black tea in the summer too.
Copy !req
144. Well,
Copy !req
145. it's because my mom loves black tea.
Copy !req
146. Your mom is Japanese, after all.
Copy !req
147. Kuze,
Copy !req
148. do you know a lot about Russia?
Copy !req
149. Not really.
Copy !req
150. I just watched a few Russian movies
with my grandpa.
Copy !req
151. I see.
Copy !req
152. But that was just the starting point.
Copy !req
153. I actually studied really hard
Copy !req
154. just to talk to that girl.
Copy !req
155. Here you go, thank you for waiting.
Copy !req
156. Thank you.
Copy !req
157. It's delicious.
Copy !req
158. Really? Thank you.
Copy !req
159. Come to think of it,
Copy !req
160. it seemed that Mother
Copy !req
161. liked black tea too.
Copy !req
162. So you don't add the jam
directly to the tea?
Copy !req
163. It depends on the person.
Copy !req
164. I see.
Copy !req
165. So sweet.
Copy !req
166. We're back.
Copy !req
167. I'm back.
Copy !req
168. Welcome back.
Copy !req
169. Would you like some tea?
Copy !req
170. I'd love some.
Copy !req
171. Yes.
Copy !req
172. Okay.
Copy !req
173. Just a moment.
Copy !req
174. What is it?
Copy !req
175. Don't you think you're too close?
Copy !req
176. In Russia,
Copy !req
177. it's bad luck for a young woman
to sit in the corner.
Copy !req
178. Is that so?
Copy !req
179. Yes.
Copy !req
180. No, but this is way too close!
Copy !req
181. What? Love triangle?
Copy !req
182. Is this a love triangle?
Copy !req
183. Hey, Masha.
Copy !req
184. Regarding what Alya just said,
Copy !req
185. is there such a jinx in Russia?
Copy !req
186. Yes.
Copy !req
187. But to be exact,
Copy !req
188. it is said that it could delay
a woman's prospects for marriage.
Copy !req
189. Alya, have you met someone
you want to marry?
Copy !req
190. Of course not.
Copy !req
191. It's just a whim.
Copy !req
192. Hey, really?
Copy !req
193. You're so annoying.
Copy !req
194. If it's "marriage", then it's too early.
Copy !req
195. Yes, you're only 15 years old.
Copy !req
196. The way you put it bothers me though.
Copy !req
197. Your sister is here!
How could you say that in Russian?
Copy !req
198. Here, Alya.
Copy !req
199. Eat this first.
Copy !req
200. What is it?
Copy !req
201. No, it's nothing.
Copy !req
202. Okay, that's all for today.
Copy !req
203. We sophomores have something
to discuss with the teacher.
Copy !req
204. The freshmen can go home now.
Copy !req
205. Thank you, everyone.
Copy !req
206. - Thank you for your hard work.
- Thank you for your hard work.
Copy !req
207. That brat Yuki
must have said something to Alya.
Copy !req
208. ROYAL FAST
Copy !req
209. Alya.
Copy !req
210. What's wrong?
Copy !req
211. If you don't mind,
would you like to stop by?
Copy !req
212. What?
Copy !req
213. Why?
Copy !req
214. Nothing much. I just thought that
since we're aiming for the presidency,
Copy !req
215. we should discuss various issues first.
Copy !req
216. Well, I'm okay with that.
Copy !req
217. Let's go inside then.
Copy !req
218. So it isn't a date?
Copy !req
219. Is that what you thought?
Copy !req
220. Alya!
Copy !req
221. What?
Copy !req
222. No, it's nothing.
Copy !req
223. Because I'm a little tired.
Copy !req
224. If I don't eat something sweet,
I can't think straight.
Copy !req
225. I see.
Copy !req
226. Well,
Copy !req
227. did something happen with Yuki?
Copy !req
228. No.
Copy !req
229. Yuki!
Copy !req
230. What the heck did you do?
Copy !req
231. Are you
Copy !req
232. dating Yuki?
Copy !req
233. Of course not.
Copy !req
234. You're not?
Copy !req
235. No. Definitely not.
Copy !req
236. But Yuki said...
Copy !req
237. This is a good chance to clear things up.
Copy !req
238. She's not as ladylike as she looks.
Copy !req
239. She's just teasing you.
Copy !req
240. The more you panic, the happier she gets.
Copy !req
241. All right.
Copy !req
242. Let's talk about
the presidential election.
Copy !req
243. Let me be blunt.
Copy !req
244. At this rate,
you won't be able to beat Yuki.
Copy !req
245. You're so sure about it.
Copy !req
246. Because it's the truth.
Copy !req
247. That's how solid Yuki's position
as the next president is.
Copy !req
248. And as usual,
Copy !req
249. there should be three pairs of candidates
Copy !req
250. aiming for the position
of president and vice president.
Copy !req
251. In fact,
Copy !req
252. among the first-years in junior high,
Copy !req
253. there were six pairs,
including Yuki and me.
Copy !req
254. A total of 12 candidates.
Copy !req
255. That many?
Copy !req
256. However,
Copy !req
257. at the general meeting
before the election,
Copy !req
258. half of them withdrew.
Copy !req
259. What's a general meeting?
Copy !req
260. It's like a debate between students.
Copy !req
261. For example,
Copy !req
262. if the mediation
between the soccer and baseball clubs
Copy !req
263. can't reach a consensus no matter what,
Copy !req
264. we'll hold a general meeting
and settle it.
Copy !req
265. I knew there were occasional events
in the auditorium.
Copy !req
266. So that's what it was.
Copy !req
267. Then,
Copy !req
268. why did half of them withdraw
Copy !req
269. because of the general meeting?
Copy !req
270. If the ones holding the meeting
are election candidates,
Copy !req
271. it's the same as the primary election.
Copy !req
272. The candidates will have a battle
of opinions and decide the winner.
Copy !req
273. Most of the students
Copy !req
274. will think that's how
their standing is decided.
Copy !req
275. I see.
Copy !req
276. That's how they usually fight it out.
Copy !req
277. In the end, it'll narrow down
to three pairs of candidates
Copy !req
278. Well, not everyone who wants
to run for presidency
Copy !req
279. will join the student council.
Copy !req
280. Even so,
Copy !req
281. things are clearly different this year.
Copy !req
282. It means everyone has given up.
Copy !req
283. They think they can't beat Yuki.
Copy !req
284. What?
Copy !req
285. He looks so nonchalant.
Copy !req
286. What's the meaning of this?
Copy !req
287. Is he used to coming
to family restaurants with girls?
Copy !req
288. The merits of being the president
at this school go without saying.
Copy !req
289. In fact,
Copy !req
290. the title of student council
president is so valuable.
Copy !req
291. - I was thinking why the straw didn't work.
- In the election a few years ago,
Copy !req
292. - When did I...
- there were still people
Copy !req
293. who played dirty behind the scenes.
Copy !req
294. But thanks to that,
Copy !req
295. we can have a clean election now.
Copy !req
296. Alya, are you listening to me?
Copy !req
297. Of course I am.
Copy !req
298. I was just distracted by the parfait.
Copy !req
299. I see.
Copy !req
300. Well, it does look delicious.
Copy !req
301. What the heck?
Copy !req
302. In the first place,
Copy !req
303. it's because of your attitude
Copy !req
304. that I lost my pace.
Copy !req
305. That's right.
Copy !req
306. If he doesn't realize that,
Copy !req
307. I'll make him.
Copy !req
308. Hey.
Copy !req
309. Do you want a bite?
Copy !req
310. No, it's okay.
Copy !req
311. You said it looked delicious.
Copy !req
312. No need to be shy.
Copy !req
313. Here, eat up.
Copy !req
314. No, I can use a new spoon.
Copy !req
315. Calling the staff would cause them trouble
Copy !req
316. and an extra spoon to wash.
Copy !req
317. But...
Copy !req
318. Come on, just eat!
Copy !req
319. This little thing is normal in Russia.
Copy !req
320. What? Really?
Copy !req
321. So it's a lie.
Copy !req
322. Open up!
Copy !req
323. She finally said it!
Copy !req
324. A deep indirect kiss!
Copy !req
325. It's so sweet.
Copy !req
326. Is it?
Copy !req
327. Is that
Copy !req
328. Taniyama?
Copy !req
329. So,
Copy !req
330. what can I do to beat Yuki?
Copy !req
331. Even if you go head-to-head,
you have no chance of winning.
Copy !req
332. So you have to appeal for votes
in a different way from Yuki.
Copy !req
333. How should I go about it?
Copy !req
334. For example, like President Kenzaki now.
Copy !req
335. In last year's election,
Copy !req
336. a former junior high president
also competed.
Copy !req
337. Even so,
Copy !req
338. President Kenzaki was elected.
Copy !req
339. During junior high,
Copy !req
340. President Kenzaki wasn't
a student council member, right?
Copy !req
341. That's right.
Copy !req
342. The reason he was elected
Copy !req
343. was because of a secret plan.
Copy !req
344. A secret plan?
Copy !req
345. A member of the newspaper club
saw previously underachieving Kenzaki
Copy !req
346. running for president
Copy !req
347. and found it interesting,
so he did an interview.
Copy !req
348. At first, the newspaper club member
Copy !req
349. was probably only half-joking.
Copy !req
350. But as the series went on,
Copy !req
351. his appearance visibly changed
Copy !req
352. and his grades improved.
Copy !req
353. It seemed like a real success story,
Copy !req
354. so everyone started to cheer for him.
Copy !req
355. And then,
Copy !req
356. he got elected successfully.
Copy !req
357. In short,
Copy !req
358. I have to create a story
that will garner support?
Copy !req
359. In other words,
Copy !req
360. I have to let the students around me
see my hard work and effort?
Copy !req
361. Your understanding is really impressive.
Copy !req
362. So,
Copy !req
363. what are you going to do with that spoon?
Copy !req
364. What should I do with this spoon?
Copy !req
365. Well,
Copy !req
366. can I order something to eat?
Copy !req
367. What?
Copy !req
368. Fine by me.
Copy !req
369. Thank you for waiting.
Copy !req
370. And this is a new spoon.
Copy !req
371. Well then, please enjoy your meal.
Copy !req
372. It was fine.
Copy !req
373. It's embarrassing for me.
Copy !req
374. You're panicking over this?
Copy !req
375. Kuze, you're surprisingly pure.
Copy !req
376. I thought you'd be used to girls by now.
Copy !req
377. I'm the one who can't believe
that you can do that
Copy !req
378. with a straight face.
Copy !req
379. Do Russians often kiss
indirectly like this?
Copy !req
380. I wouldn't do this to anyone but you.
Copy !req
381. Idiot.
Copy !req
382. Thank you.
Copy !req
383. Come on, eat up.
Copy !req
384. It's going to melt.
Copy !req
385. You're right.
Copy !req
386. So what should I do specifically
Copy !req
387. to create a story that garners support
like President Kenzaki?
Copy !req
388. Let's see.
Copy !req
389. You have to show them
how hard you work, right?
Copy !req
390. First, the closing ceremony
of last semester...
Copy !req
391. Are you referring
Copy !req
392. to the speeches
of student council members?
Copy !req
393. That's right.
Copy !req
394. In fact,
Copy !req
395. this will be your first time giving
a speech in front of the entire school.
Copy !req
396. I don't need to tell you
how important it is.
Copy !req
397. Then what should I say?
Copy !req
398. Just say whatever you want.
Copy !req
399. If you express it in your own words,
Copy !req
400. the audience will understand better.
Copy !req
401. What?
Copy !req
402. Don't you have any specific advice?
Copy !req
403. No need to force yourself.
Copy !req
404. You can get a lot of support
with what you're doing now.
Copy !req
405. Really?
Copy !req
406. What exactly am I doing?
Copy !req
407. Shower me with more compliments.
Copy !req
408. That's what I'm talking about.
Copy !req
409. Darn it.
Copy !req
410. It's quite spicy for a family restaurant.
Copy !req
411. Is it good?
Copy !req
412. Yes, it's all right.
Copy !req
413. Care for a taste?
Copy !req
414. No, I don't think she can handle
this level of spiciness.
Copy !req
415. It looks so spicy.
Copy !req
416. But if I give up now,
Copy !req
417. he'll find out
that I don't like spicy food.
Copy !req
418. Well then, I'll have a bite.
Copy !req
419. ONE WHOLE CHILI PEPPER
Copy !req
420. Do it, Aniki.
Copy !req
421. Alya's tearful eyes
Copy !req
422. actually excite you, don't they?
Copy !req
423. No.
Copy !req
424. You can't do this to Alya.
Copy !req
425. Get lost!
Copy !req
426. Forgive me, Alya.
Copy !req
427. Here, I'll give you
the most delicious part.
Copy !req
428. Thank you.
Copy !req
429. Alya?
Copy !req
430. Idiot.
Copy !req
431. Are you okay?
Copy !req
432. What do you mean? I'm fine.
Copy !req
433. That's good.
Copy !req
434. By the way,
Copy !req
435. I wonder what Yuki is planning to do.
Copy !req
436. What?
Copy !req
437. I mean,
Copy !req
438. since you're running with me,
Copy !req
439. Yuki needs a new part...
Copy !req
440. vice president candidate, right?
Copy !req
441. Well,
Copy !req
442. she's always been popular,
Copy !req
443. so I think it wouldn't matter
who she partners with.
Copy !req
444. But normally,
Copy !req
445. she'd choose
a former student council member.
Copy !req
446. Come to think of it,
Copy !req
447. if she brings Taniyama to the election,
Copy !req
448. it'd be troublesome.
Copy !req
449. Taniyama? Who's that?
Copy !req
450. Sayaka Taniyama.
Copy !req
451. In junior high,
Copy !req
452. she competed with Yuki
for the presidency until the very end.
Copy !req
453. You don't know her?
Copy !req
454. No.
Copy !req
455. Did she
Copy !req
456. give up on becoming the president?
Copy !req
457. Kuze?
Copy !req
458. Anyway,
Copy !req
459. I'll find out soon enough
Copy !req
460. who Yuki's running with.
Copy !req
461. SEIREN ACADEMY
Copy !req
462. STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICE
Copy !req
463. Well then, allow me to introduce everyone.
Copy !req
464. Ayano.
Copy !req
465. Kuze?
Copy !req
466. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
467. I'm Ayano Kimishima from Class 1-C.
Copy !req
468. From now on,
Copy !req
469. I'll be working with all of you
Copy !req
470. as the student council's general affairs.
Copy !req
471. I look forward to working with all of you.
Copy !req
472. Master Masachika.
Copy !req
473. As a fellow general affairs,
Copy !req
474. I look forward to working with you.
