Megu

Urgh... It's hot...

But Morimori... There's Morimori out here...

Today's after-lunch treat is Morimori...

...Hm? Huh...?

...Head Prefect?!

Hina

...Hmm?

Ah, I wondered who was doing all that mumbling. What are you doing here, Megu?

...Something to do with hot springs?

Megu

Huh? Oh, no, not right now. I'm just here to buy Morimori for dessert!

Hina

Morimori...?

Oh, right, the convenience store has ice cream with that name.

So you're not digging any hot springs nearby today?

Megu

Um, well...

...Ah! Wait!

President Kasumi told me what to say when I meet the Prefect Team or a Valkyrie. And you're the head prefect, so...

Hina

...What are you doing?

Megu

Well... Um... Give me a minute to remember...

Hina

...Do you remember yet?

Megu

...Aha!

Yeah! I remember. First, I give you this...

...Um... Oh, here it is! Ta-da! Here, take it!

And now... Ahem!

"Thanks for all your hard work. This isn't much, but it's a small token of our gratitude. Please keep taking good care of us."

Hina

...

......

Megu

And...that's it!

That's everything I needed to do. Hey, why'd you ask if I was digging hot springs?

The president hasn't said to do that yet, but I'm sure she'll tell me when it's time!

Hina

I see... Then this is...

*sigh*

...Megu?

This thing Kasumi told you to do... Have you done it to anyone else?

Megu

...Huh? No, not yet.

You're the first. Why do you ask?

Hina

All right. At least that's a relief.

Then I have one request. Hear me out, please.

Megu

Request? ...What is it?

I mean, sure, I'm listening. Go ahead!

Hina

Thank you. So...

Please pass this message back to Kasumi, word for word.

Megu

*gasp*

You just ripped up the present...!

Hina

Kasumi will understand. She won't need an explanation. But if I must put it into words...

Tell her, "If I find out you're doing something like this again, I will handle it personally."

"I'm warning you. Get rid of your old habits while you're inside Gehenna."

...That is all. Did you get that?

Megu

Uh... What? Okay, so I gave you a gift, and then you ruined the gift...and now I tell the president you ruined the gift...

Umm, I don't really understand...

But okay. You and the president are both smart, so I'm sure there's a good reason. Sure, I'll tell her!

Hina

Heehee. Thank you.

Megu

...Oh, actually...!

Head Prefect!! Wait right there!! I'll be back real soon!

...Okay, I'm back!

You've been waiting a while, huh? Here, take this!

Hina

This is...ice cream?

...Morimori? You're giving this to me?

Megu

Yeah! I wanted to buy a lot and then share them with everyone. So you should have one too!

It's a hot day today. Morimori's great for cooling down!

...Oh, wait.

You don't want gifts from us, do you? I mean, you ripped up the last one...

Sorry, sorry! I just bought it 'cause, you know, force of habit.

Hina

...No, it's fine.

Thanks, Megu. I'll be sure to enjoy it.

Megu

...Huh? It's fine? How is it different...?

Hina

Oh, I'm sure Kasumi will explain it to you if you ask.

...

...Megu?

Megu

Huh? Me?

Hina

You're a third-year, right? You seem to be close to Kasumi...

Now, I know there was an earlier version of the Hot Springs Department. Though it only had around ten people at the time...

You were the president back then, weren't you? And Kasumi came later.

Megu

Huh? Oh, that's right! After President Kasumi came on, she said she'd take over the president role, so I handed it to her.

Wow! You really do know everything, Head Prefect!

Hina

Oh, I wouldn't say that...

Hm...

My question is, was Kasumi the one to suggest that? Did she say, "I'll take the president spot for you"?

Megu

Yup.

Hina

...All right, then.

Megu

...Well, maybe not exactly.

Hina

Huh?

Megu

Actually, she asked, "What do you want to do?" So I said, "I just want to keep digging hot springs!"

And then she said, "Then I'll make sure you can do that."

So now I get to just dig hot springs, and there's a lot of new people to help me!

Hina

...I see.

I thought that might be the case. People with...her background do tend to keep their word, at least.

Megu

...Huh? What do you mean?

Hina

Nothing at all. Just seeing another side of the story.

Now, I have something I have to finish, so I'd best get going. Take care in the heat, Megu. And as for Kasumi...

...Tell her something else, too. Tell her, "Don't make too much trouble."

Megu

Ok! Bye, Head Prefect!

I'd better get going too.

...And that's what happened!

And the Head Prefect wanted me to tell you...

"If I find out you're doing something like this again, I will handle it personally."

"I'm warning you. Get rid of your old habits while you're inside Gehenna."

Kasumi

Eeeeek!!
