..."Additional application for stage installation services at the venue."
..."Festival safety manager appointment request"...
"Audit report on the Yin-Yang Club subsidy"...
Ughhh...
We're just one day away from the joyful Waraku Festival! Why am I the one who has to wrestle all this paperwork?
What happened to my beautiful plan to dump all the tedious work on Kaho and go stroll the streets on an "inspection"...?
Niya, we're heading to the rehearsal now, so please take care of the backlog of paperwork while we're gone.
Bye-bye!
Huh? What?! What about me?!
Of course, you're always invited to rehearsals, Niya.
With the caveat that all of your overdue documents and approvals for the Waraku Festival be done first.
U-Ugh...
Niya, I'm more than accustomed to all your little tricks and schemes to get out of work.
But if that laziness of yours causes even a SINGLE problem with the Waraku Festival...
...you WILL suffer the consequences of your actions this time.
Scary... You're scary, Kaho!
Understood... No objections...
Kaho's gotten too sharp for her own good... She cut off my slacking at the source...
I can't believe I'm doing paperwork...while Chise's on stage for her rehearsal... Boo-hoo.
Hmm...where can I find some urgent excuse for blowing all this off?
Maybe an important guest will magically appear out of nowhere...
Niya, I'm sorry to bother you when you're busy...
We have a guest. It's...rather urgent, so could you come meet with her?
My excuse! Excellent timing!
Your...excuse?
Ah, it's nothing!
But this is a strange time for an important guest to come visit...
Did another academy hear about the Waraku Festival, and they want to see Chise in all her glory?
No, it's not that...
The president of the Hyakkaryouran Resolution Council, Nanakado Ayame, is here.
President Ayame...?
It's been a while, Niya.
Have you been well?
Nyahaha... Well enough! But the waters have been a bit rough.
Hyakkiyako has had its fair share of dramatic events, to say the least.
...I believe it. I can't apologize enough for neglecting my presidential duties for as long as I have.
Fufu. Just hearing you say that eases the aches of my soul.
So did the Hyakkaryouran members ever find you? They went to the Ebisu Satellite School in hopes of bringing you back.
Actually, yes. I was just with them.
Yes, exactly. That's actually why I came to find you as quickly as I could.
We were searching the Great Snowfield for Nature's Beauty's base when we were hit by a sudden avalanche.
I just narrowly avoided being buried by the avalanche, but the rest are trapped in the snow and in great danger. We need to dispatch a rescue team immediately.
Yes, President Niya?
Send our fastest students to the northern district immediately. It seems the Hyakkaryouran members and Sensei are trapped in an avalanche.
Y-Yes, ma'am! I'll dispatch a rescue team right away!
...Thank you for your quick response.
As the head of the Yin-Yang Club, it's my duty, after all.
Since that's been settled, I'll return to the Hyakkaryouran club room and...
Of course, go ahead.
Is President Ayame among those stranded?
...What? What do you mean?
Oh, if you mean Nagusa or Kikyou...
Perhaps I was unclear. I asked if the Hyakkaryouran president, Nanakado Ayame, is among those stranded in this avalanche of yours.
Did you think a shadow like you would pass my notice?
What are you...?
To think you thought you could trick me with that reprehensible, distorted aura of yours.
Furthermore, Ayame would never abandon someone in need, let alone a friend. You can only suspend disbelief so far.
So where is the real Ayame, you Phantom Fable?
...You figured it out faster than I expected, Niya. But I guess I'm not surprised.
...!
But...what now?
After all, Ayame doesn't care about those members of hers as much as you seem to believe.
