94 linesAs I passed by the carnage, I couldn't help but wonder how the Heritage League was doing...
"What a sight..."
And, just as I was basking in the Gehenna students' destructive instincts...
...*sigh*
"Is that...?"
This is workable...
But these barrels are beyond repair... I'll have to pick up some more.
And this target sheet is shredded. "New sheets," added to the list...
Uh? Sensei?
Whoa! What brings you all the way here? Were you looking to let off a little...administratively-approved steam?
"Not exactly..."
"Have you been cleaning all by yourself, Mayumi?"
Ah, yeah! You're right.
The Trigger-Happy Zone is serious business! Dozens of students visit every day.
They shoot, blow things up, dig around, throw stuff, just VANDALIZE for no reason... It's absolute chaos!
But we did it! Haha! Everyone loves this place we built.
But it also wears down quickly.
Not a day goes by where it isn't turned into a total mess...
Ironically, the students don't like it if we leave it all messed up.
"But wasn't it built to be destroyed in the first place?"
That's true, but people are complicated.
They don't want to shoot at something that's already wrecked.
There's a certain thrill in smashing and destroying something clean and pristine. Do you know what I mean?
"I-I don't know...?"
"But you may have a point..."
Fufu, right? It's the inherent drive to destruction.
And that's why I'm out here. I have to make sure it's kept clean and orderly.
After all, we want the students to keep returning...
"So that's why you've been cleaning this lot by yourself."
The others help too! But yeah, I'm out here the most.
Whenever I think "I should do something," I just end up already in the middle of doing it. Ha, you know I'm a go-getter!
"I'll help too!"
Eh, you will?
Um... I won't refuse help, but this is pretty dirty work, you know?
...
Heehee, alrighty, then! We'll finish much faster if we work together.
Thank you, Sensei!
I spent quite a while clearing and repairing the lot with Mayumi.
The work was rougher than I expected, so it took a while to wrap up.
"It's finally done!"
Yay! We finished that in a jiffy, all thanks to your help!
You're a real lifesaver, Sensei! I mean it!
While it's clean and tidy now, it'll probably end up in a total mess again tomorrow.
But then we'll just clean it up again!
All I hope is that everyone's having a good time out here! Heehee.
Hm? Why do I "do all this"?
Well...
It's to restore glory to Gehenna!
Sensei, you realize that we've made a REAL impact, right?
Campus explosions, shootings, and destructive incidents have dropped significantly.
The students are accustomed to lining up here now, and no one just randomly blows up a claymore in the middle of the track field.
The school of troublemakers, mischief makers, and chaos is fading away. Gehenna Academy is changing for the better!
And that's all because of our hard work! Gehenna is growing more glorious!
"You really do love Gehenna, Mayumi."
Yeah! Of course I do!
Most students in Kivotos probably LIKE their school...
And that's fine, but Gehenna is absolutely amazing.
...Of course, our progress may have been sluggish until recently.
But I know it'll be better in the future. It'll be GLORIOUS.
"Just like you are right now, Mayumi."
Heehee... Yeah.
Sensei, I've been enjoying every day lately.
I find so much fun in reflecting on what I've been overlooking and working on improving it for tomorrow.
Because up until now, "our" choices played no part in the greater Gehennan culture.
But right now, our choices, our actions, are gradually reshaping Gehenna. Isn't this amazing?
That's why we need to give it our all!
I'm sure we can do anything, especially with your help. Just like today. Yeah, I'm positive!
"Right. I look forward to working with you more, Mayumi."
Heehee, yes! Me too, Sensei!
Glory to Gehenna!!!
Mayumi always did her best and kept a cheerful attitude.
I hoped that her smile would never fade.
Kihehe... What is it this time, Igarashi Shouko?
Have you finished preparing the broadcasting room?
Indeed, I have. I also bring news that you might enjoy, Chairman Makoto.
Hm?
We've not only inspected all the equipment, but we've also upgraded the academy's PA system. It's all very modern, and it ensures that the broadcast signal will reach every student.
Kihehe, excellent!
You've acquired infrastructure without touching the Pandemonium Society's budget. Now THAT is what I call effective delegation of labor.
It's rude to announce that right in front of them.
Such bold directness can only come from someone who stands at the pinnacle of Gehenna.
Kihehe! Perfect analysis! Iroha, take notes!
Right, sure.
With that handled, I wanted to say a few words to you, Chairman Makoto.
The broadcasts will resume soon, and surely we can't let this historic moment pass by, can we?
It sounds like you are on to something. Continue.
Chairman Makoto, how do you feel about delivering a speech to the entirety of the student body?
There would be no better occasion to celebrate the new Gehenna. You could give an address congratulating yourself on your achievements.
Kihe, excellent! I shall rise to this moment!
I, Hanuma Makoto, will usher in the golden age of the Pandemonium Society with a historic, legendary speech!
Makoto's really fired up.
Whoa! No sense worrying about next week's issue now! We got the hot scoop!
Ibuki is also excited for Makoto's speech!
Yes. Glory to Gehenna.
