72 lines"Yukari, you look a little out of it. Want to take a break?"
Ah...
I'm...out of it?
Ah, well... Um...
...I was thinking about everything that happened today.
...
...Even in the Hyakkaryouran, Renge always possessed an exemplary sense of duty.
So, when Renge said that the Hyakkaryouran was gone, and can never come back...
Well... I was a little taken back.
...Hiyah!
"W-Wait, Yukari, don't slap yourself!"
Enough of these defeatist thoughts!
I, Yukari, am the Hyakkaryouran's elite! I will not succumb to despair!
Ahem! I'm certain Renge was venting her anger because she is still in shock from the club closing...
But as an elite, I must prepare for what lies ahead, not dwell on the past!
Sure, my plan of soliciting Renge's aid may have failed...
But the Hyakkaryouran has other officers we can enlist!
"Kikyou... She was the Hyakkaryouran's operations officer, right?"
Yes! Kikyou is a clear thinker... Once she hears my reasons for holding a succession contest, she'll be glad to help!
And... Kikyou and Renge have been friends since childhood.
She'll definitely help us convince Renge!
Mmm! Yes! It's a little gauche to boast, but...this is truly a perfect plan!
So, Sensei! Can I count on your continued assistance?
"Yup. I promised, after all."
My lady. I've come to escort you home.
Ah...
It seemed like you were occupied on business for the duration of the day, so I waited until now to present myself...
The hour is late. It is time for you to return.
But I still have something I must do...
At so late an hour?
Is it...something related to the individual standing next to you?
Who are you? You have accompanied the young mistress since this morning.
If you've approached her with sinister intentions, then as her loyal retainer I will not stand idle!
"Ah, I am Schale's Sensei."
The notorious Sensei of Schale? ...Truly?
Yes! That's correct! So please, don't misunderstand!
Sensei was just trying to help with my unreasonable demands...by my request!
...As you say, my lady. I understand.
I apologize if I have caused any offense.
Now, more importantly, my lady... The sun has set.
But I still have something...
My lady. Please do not be stubborn.
...
"It's gotten late. Shall we head back for today?"
"I can meet you tomorrow instead. Pinky promise."
My lady, you cannot still...
I see! This isn't goodbye... It's a promise to keep fighting another day!
Yes, I understand!
Then until tomorrow!
...Very well. Then...
"(This morning Niya called me and I met Yukari...)"
"(So much has happened since then, it feels like a distant memory.)"
Who cares?! That didn't keep her from abandoning us!
"(Renge's words cut Yukari deeply...)"
I will say just one thing before we depart.
My lady is quite busy with her familial responsibilities.
I would be grateful if you encouraged her to return more quickly tomorrow. Now, we'll take our leave.
I wandered through the academy, deep in thought as I contemplated the tangled web I found myself in...
<────This way!>
"...?"
What's all the commotion? The festival's supposed to start soon, we can't keep havin' these delays!
The blasted Mouryo are picking a fight with someone in the western district.
Again?
Tch! Why are they set on ruinin' the festival for everyone? Who are they fighting now?
A student of the Hyakkaryouran, I think... I heard it was someone in a haori!
"...Huh?"
'Bout time! We've been lookin' for you all day!
Thought I found you earlier, but there's no way we're lettin' you escape this time!
"That's...!"
