Kekeke. I've finally arrived.
Isn't it obvious? Red Winter Federal Academy is one of the biggest schools in Kivotos, which also means they have one of the biggest student populations.
That's not what I was asking.
There can't be a good reason you want an exchange meeting with Red Winter. What's up your sleeve, Makoto?
Kekeke.
All will be revealed once we meet with their dictator!
And my ingenious, marvelous plan will fall perfectly into place!
(...I knew it. This is exactly why I didn't bring Ibuki with us.)
Tell me your plan, I beg of you.
If I don't know your plan, I can't formulate a proper escape.
Heeheehee. There you go again, Iroha. This plan is going to be a success, I just know it.
(...Is exactly what she said the last eighty-two times.)
Thank you very much for waiting, Pandemonium Society. My name is Tomoe, chief secretary at the Red Winter Office.
Our Great Leader is waiting. Please come this way.
Welcome to Red Winter, Gehenna people!
(...Why is she wearing a fake mustache?)
(...That took her way too long to realize.)
This is Cherino, our esteemed president: Beautifier of Lands, Great Leader, Athletics Club Captain, Chief of Sanitation, Head of All Prefects, Maven of Meal Service, This Year's MVP, This Week's MVP, and Today's MVP.
Yes, that is me! I am the most important person you could have the honor of meeting at Red Winter!
...Yup. She sounds exactly like a certain someone.
Heeheehee! Kekeke!
Drop the formalities. I've cunningly lured you here, and my plan is a success!
Hahahahahaha! What did I tell you, Iroha?
...What did you do, Makoto?
Isn't it obvious at this point?
I've been colluding with the security chairman in secret! She wishes nothing more than to overthrow the dictator that stands at the top of Red Winter!
She wanted a revolution! And I've been supporting her every step of the way.
What?!
Hahaha! To put it simply, this is a coup!
Oh, a coup, you say?
I don't have to hide it anymore! You've fallen directly into an elaborate trap set by me and your security chairman.
I think... I know where this is going...
It's your turn, Security Chairman! Subdue the little kid, and together we'll reign over the enormous power that is Red Winter!
U-Um... Hello? Security Chairman? That was her cue...
Tomoe, where's Marina?
She attempted to stage a coup last week, so she is currently being held at the Former Institute.
?!
Marina will never stop trying, will she? I can't help but respect that iron will.
The security chairman was caught trying to stage a different coup?! And she's exiled?
Perhaps Chair Makoto's plan was referring to last week's coup.
Please allow me to confirm.
Chairman Marina? I hope you have been well.
I was hoping to confirm the current situation with you. The Pandemonium Society of Gehenna arrived here, claiming they had planned to stage a coup with you today?
Stage a coup...? Today?
Ah. Yes, you're correct. It slipped my mind entirely to contact Gehenna.
Chief Secretary Tomoe, I'm sorry, but could you update them on the situation for me? I'm preoccupied with defeating this stubborn stain on the floor.
...
...
Heeheehee. It appears you're the one who missed your cue. Or perhaps Marina was just too impatient to wait for you.
B-But...? My plan...!
*sigh* You've stuck your foot in it again, Makoto.
Escort the Pandemonium Society members to the exchange meeting hall.
Yes!
Please, right this way.
...I might not be in the position to say this, but this exchange meeting is still happening? Is this some kind of secret code for prison?
Why would I do that? Coups are par for the course.
Of course, Marina will have to face the consequences for attempting to stage one, but we can't cancel something as important as a meeting with Gehenna over something so trivial.
T-Trivial...? Par for the course?!
Naturally! Tomoe, how many coups have we had this past month?
Three attempts, Great Leader, with two of them being successful.
You're right! Remember the epic grizzly bear ride I had through the snowy mountains? We traversed the icy seas and then returned triumphantly to the academy!
Is that so? My records show that you very adorably screamed and cried for me when we encountered the bear. I found it very endearing.
Sh-Shut up, Chief Secretary!
Ahem. I hope that gives you a better understanding, Chair.
I am the Great Leader of Red Winter! Such insignificant events can't even touch my power!
I-Insignificant...?!
No more talking! A dictator such as myself has a busy schedule! To the exchange meeting hall with you!
A-All right... I guess...
(How did I get dragged into this nonsense...?)
(At least it's fun to see Makoto get pushed around by the little dictator.)
