Shiroko

Hoshino!

Ayane

What about the president?

President

Heeheehee.

Suou

...

Serika

The helicopter...?!

Hoshino

...He got away.

President

Unfortunately, my little friends, the Train Cannon is mine!

To put it simply, checkmate.

The card, Suou?

Suou

Here it is.

Nonomi

W-Wait a minute... That's my card! When did you...?!

President

We need this to access the path to the Valley of Student Council Presidents.

Ayane

Valley of Student Council Presidents...?

President

Yes, according to our analysis, we need a Nephthys owner's authentication to access the route there.

Ideally, the owner would be present as well...but it seems Hoshino won't let that happen.

Suou

...But it should be fine as long as we have this card.

Ayane

Is the Train Cannon...at this, "Valley of Student Council Presidents"...?

President

You still plan on giving chase? I won't allow it.

We've assessed the Train Cannon Schemata's monetary value! We've taken into account its strategic, technological, and historical significance...

The value is...approximately eighty billion yen!

Ayane

E-Eighty billion yen...?!

Serika

What the heck is that ridiculous number?!

President

The Train Cannon legally belongs to Kaiser. Dare to lay a hand on it, and you'll have to pay an astronomical amount in compensation for property damages.

Are you prepared to put yourself in more debt, Abydos Foreclosure Task Force?

If it comes to that...I'll get you a job at Kaiser PMC, Hoshino. Black Suit will be happy.

Or would you like to go the proper route and engage in a legal battle with me? I welcome that as well. I will torment you endlessly until you graduate.

Then, I'll torment your new students. If there are any, that is, hahaha!

So... Huh?

What is it, Suou?

Wh-What are you doing...?!

AHHHHHH!!

Kaiser Helicopter Pilot

What are you...?!

Gyah!!

Ayane

She pushed him off...!

Hoshino

...?!

Serika

Wh-What?! Out of nowhere?!

Nonomi

...Wh-Why would she?

President

Ugh...

Gr... Grr... Ugh...

PMC Soldier A

President!!

PMC Soldier B

A-Are you okay?!

President

Grr... Ugh...

PMC Soldier A

His injuries are severe! C-Contact headquarters immediately!

Suou

...Takanashi Hoshino. The Valley of Student Council Presidents. You know where that is, right?

I will await you there. Give chase, if you want to stop the Train Cannon.

Hoshino

You...

Suou

If you fail to do so, I'll activate the Train Cannon and take it away from Abydos.

Ayane

V-Valley of the Student Council Presidents...? Wh-Where is that?

Serika

I-I'm not sure. I feel like I've heard it before...

Hoshino

(Valley of Student Council Presidents...)

(I remember... Sector 35-9.)

It's going to be the same no matter where we go. If this "Abydos Presidents' Exhibition Hall," with all those valuable treasures, actually existed...

...the previous student council members would've found it and sold everything off ages ago.

It's said that the former student council presidents of Abydos constructed an exhibition hall, back in the day.

It's commonly known as the Valley of Student Council Presidents... I know it... To think the Train Cannon was there all along...

Shiroko

Wait! Hoshino?!

Serika

Wh-Where are you going?!

Ayane

Hoshino! Please wait! Just talk to us!

Nonomi

H-Hoshino!

Ayane

We have to talk! Everything is okay now! We even saved Nonomi...

Shiroko

We didn't have to deny Yume's presidency or the Foreclosure Task Force, thanks to Sensei.

Ayane

Yes! So, don't go alone! We'll do this together!

Hoshino

...I'm sorry. I can't do that.

Ayane

What?!

Serika

Hoshino, y-you're not...

Sensei

"Hoshino, wait."

Hoshino

If I return to the Foreclosure Task Force now...we won't be able to destroy the Train Cannon.

Nonomi

...!!

Hoshino

...I can't be a part of the Foreclosure Task Force. My Abydos Student Council has to be separate from you guys.

Ayane

What?!

No! Your declaration is meaningless now!

Hoshino

...Even if it is meaningless, I still need it for what I have to do.

Yes, everything that happens from here on out has to be unrelated to the Foreclosure Task Force.

Ayane

...!!

Hoshino

This'll just be a rogue attack from Hoshino, a member of the fake student council. Otherwise, the blame will fall on the Foreclosure Task Force.

Sensei

"Wait, Hoshino!"

Ayane

A smokescreen?

Hoshino

I'm sorry, Shiroko.

Hoshino

The Train Cannon can't remain in Abydos. No matter what.

I'm going to destroy it. I won't let it block my juniors' path forward.

And thanks for preserving Yume's memory. All of you.

Shiroko

Hoshino!

PMC Soldier A

Just a bit longer! Our transport is nearly here!

President

Ugh... Out of Abydos... Escort me... And...

Contact headquarters and have the entire group...not just Kaiser PMC...gather here...!

PMC Soldier A

Th-The entire group?

President

Yes!!

Kaiser Industries...

Kaiser Loans...

Kaiser Construction...

...even the Kaiser Convenience Stores.

Summon the entirety of Kaiser PMC's forces! All of the subsidiaries!

It's an all-out war! Kaiser Corporation will engage in total war in Abydos...!!

PMC Soldier B

Total war...!

President

Our target is the Valley of Student Council Presidents...! Secure the Train Cannon! *cough* *cough*...!

The Train Cannon must be taken out of the Abydos district! It absolutely must!

PMC Soldier A

Yes, absolutely!

Nonomi

Hoshino...
