And Yet, the Prefectural Council Goes On 2

*sigh* ...Finally.

What a day. I'm beat.

It's a good thing the Council Captain arrived in time. If not for her... Ugh. I don't even want to think about it.

Ah, right. My painting...

Whatever. Today was terrible, so I deserve a night off. I'll get to it tomorrow!

Ah! Oh, bed, how I missed you.

...How many days has it been since I held my palette...?

I'll get to it. No use worrying. It's best to squeeze in some sleep while I can. That's good for inspiration, right?

*yawn* ...Good night, painting.

Gah?! Wh-What's happening?!

Who's dropping the bass at this hour...? Ugh, who else?

There she goes again! Some people are trying to get their beauty sleep!

It's the Background Music Club! Someone silence their terrible beats!

All agents, report! Assemble in the north hallway in 5 minutes! Repeat! Everyone GET UP!

Ah, ahhhh...

...*sigh* What choice do I have?

...Approximately 7 minutes ago, we found evidence of the Free Outing Club attempting an escape by scaling the academy's northwest wall.

Them AGAIN?!

This is the fourth time this month! Don't they sleep?!

Our priority is to stop the escape, and, after that, apprehend the Free Outing Club's President. Am I understood?

Uh, I have a question, actually.

We're just leaving the Background Music Club outside? The whole quad is sending us complaints.

Hm, leave the Background Music Club to their devices. We've received no orders to arrest them.

But then the students can't slee...

Now it is my turn to ask a question. What happens when all the orchestra's musicians ignore the conductor and do whatever they want?

Huh? Uh... The song will sound...bad?

Exactly. The Council Captain did not administer arrest orders. We do not question why. We are only here to execute our mission to upstanding standards.

Do not try to understand the order... Trust it! Trust the weight of your sworn duty!

Oh, I see...! I think I feel the trust...!

(...I don't care. Let's just wrap this up!)

Now, Prefectural Council! CHARGE!

*huff* *puff*

Why? Why now? The middle of the night? Ugh... Almost there!

Copy. Huh?! No, I...understand. Understood.

All units, halt!

...Yes?

Report to the quad. We have orders to immediately arrest the Background Music Club!

...Ha?

What about the Free Outing Club? We came all this way...

Why didn't we arrest the Background Music Club earlier? They were raving while we marched right past them!

The Council Captain has prioritized the incarceration of the Background Music Club. It is imperative that the students have a comfortable rest!

That said... I empathize with your complaints.

...Oh?

We came out all the way out here to apprehend the Free Outing Club, only to be told to retreat. This decision can appear quite baffling.

(Does she finally get it...?)

(Almost there. Maybe she'll finally speak up against...)

...And that is because the Council Captain is exceedingly brilliant. That's why she's in charge!

Let's go, ladies! A return, not a retreat! The Council Captain's order is absolute. Pick up the pace!

...Ah...

Are you serious?!

What is this school's damn problem?!
