I am Togo Mimori
	A second-year middle schooler who loves her nation.
	And I will now walk you through an ordinary day of my life.
	6 AM: Time to rise.
Togo: Mmm... lovely weather again today...
	I gaze up at the piercing blue sky.
Togo: We're able to greet another wonderful morning thanks to the Shinju-sama
	I bow to the southeast towards the Shinju-sama
	Silence wraps around the neighboring Yuki residence.
Togo: (Good morning, Yuna-chan. I'll go wake you up later, okay?)
	I take a deep breath of the crisp morning air.
	6:15 AM: Morning history time.
	...What is morning history, you ask?
	It's a phrase I came up with to describe how I study history first thing in the morning, the same way some people have morning shampoo.
	I don't exactly do it every day, but it makes me feel both humbled and grateful for my nation.
Togo: ...Ancient history and Showa history are so interesting... The Showa Era especially... uuuugh... brings tears to my eyes...
	The Heisei Era is a little too outrageous with its abrupt outbreak of the virus menace, so I don't like it.
	7 AM:
	I help my mother prepare breakfast in the kitchen.
Togo: The dried sardine miso soup came out delicious... I need to thank Karin-chan for the recipe.
	Breakfast and dinner at the Togo household is naturally Japanese food by principle again today.
	I pack the food for the hero club (botamochi) in a box.
Togo: Okay, I'll be off.
	After two years of living with a wheelchair, I've gotten quite used to it.
	Yuki residence.
	I'm a regular here.
Togo: Good morning. Pardon the intrusion.
	I've come to fulfill my most important of all duties.
Yuna: Zzz... Zzz...
	Her sleeping face is cute as ever today.
Togo: It's morning, Yuna-chan.
Yuna: Mmah...! Ah! Good morning, Togo-san!
	So today's one of her easy to rise days.
	On days where she doesn't wake easily, I have to blow a bugle.
Togo: Good morning, Yuna-chan.
Yuna: ...hwaaaah...
	Yuna-chan looks around.
Yuna: Aaauuu~ What day is today... ah, Tuesday, huh.
Yuna: ...AWRIGHT!
	She runs off to the sink.
	Yuna-chan gathers up vitality quickly, but for just a moment when she gets up from bed, she's always a little out of it.
	...
	I wait by the entrance and soon enough, out comes an energetic Yuna-chan.
Yuna: Good morning to you once again, Togo-san.
	Yuna-chan always gets up close and personal with people.
	It surprised me at first, but now I'm quite comfortable with it.
Togo: Good morning to you once again too, Yuna-chan.
	We ride a car to school.
	Sanshu middle school is located up on top of a hill, so I've got school approval to commute by car with my wheelchair and Yuna as my escort.
Yuna: But man. When you first moved in, I thought I could be of help to you since you were having trouble knowing right from left.
Yuna: But now you're always the one looking out after me.
	Yuna-chan says even though she always pushes my wheelchair for me.
Togo: ...Ah, it's Karin-chan.
	Karin-chan's pedaling her bicycle beside the car.
Karin: Morning, you two!
	She seems quite lively, but that seems kinda dangerous.
Togo: Karin-chan, be sure to look ahead, okay?
Karin: Hah. I'm a hero. I don't know the meaning of the word acciden... uwah, oh no!
	She nearly crashes into a telephone pole.
	The car approaches the hill road.
Karin: I'm not gonna lose to some dumb old car, seyaahh!!
	Karin-chan's still hanging on.
Yuna: Woah, Karin-chan you're so fast!
	But it was still not enough to prevent our distance from gradually growing.
	Just about everybody commutes to school by foot or by bicycle.
	Fu-sempai and Itsuki-chan commute by bicycle too.
Togo: Yuna-chan, are you sleeping properly at night?
Yuna: Like a log.
	She answers nonchalantly.
	Like she's not even trying to hold back anything.
Togo: ...That's good. But you never know when we'll be called for duty, so...
Yuna: You're right. It would be scary if it came while we were sleeping, huh. Man, I slept like a log without even thinking too deeply about it.
Togo: I kind of expected you'd still be able to sleep well, Yuna-chan. But don't worry. I'll come wake you up even under those circumstances.
Togo: Honestly, I couldn't sleep too much the first day it happened, but I can sleep safe and sound now that I can transform.
Togo: You've got to get enough sleep to have enough energy for when the going gets tough, after all.
	Yuna-chan nods.
	We chat as we head to school.
	At the classroom--
Karin: Whew-- Dashing uphill is such great training, huh. Time for supplements.
	Karin-chan suddenly pops a supplement.
Togo: ...You won't get addicted, will you?
Yuna: I think she'll be fine since she eats dried sardines too.
Karin: ...By the way, Yuna, you've got a lot of doodles in your notebook, huh. What's this curry cat thing?
Yuna: He's a cat with curry on his head. When you get hungry, he serves you the curry.
Karin: So he's an original character, huh?
Yuna: Why don't you make one up too? You can try thinking of something on the blackboard during lunch.
Karin: N-no thanks. I fine.
Yuna: I drew one up too... but the upperclassmen erased it due to censorship. ...wanna see?
Karin: I-I'd rather not.
	Too bad... I'll ask her again sometime.
Karin: Huh... got a message from Fu.
Togo: It's rare for her to send a message at this hour... Wonder if something happened.
Karin: Lessee. 'I ate too much and messed up my stomach. I'll be taking school off until I get better. Sorry...
	She ruined her stomach badly enough that she can't go to school?
Karin: ...how low-girl-power-level of her.
Togo: I wonder if she's alright?
	After school.
Karin: Fu's still not better, huh.
Karin: She's always such an eater, I've had my doubts that she might ruin her stomach one day... Geez. Itsuki, bring her these supplements for me.
Itsuki: Thank you. I'm sorry for Onee-chan troubling you like this.
	Itsuki replies bashfully.
Karin: So, is Fu still alive? She hasn't sent any more messages lately.
Itsuki: I'll go call... that's what the plan was.
	Before long, we reach the Inubozaki residence phone.
Fu: I'm so sorry guys. Truth is... I wanted to build up my body as a hero so bad, I kinda pushed it too far.
Yuna: S-such effort! You've done nothing wrong, Fu-sempai!
	Yuna-chan bursts with concern.
Fu: ...I'm sorry that was kind of a lie. I just got ahead of myself and ate too much.
Yuna: Food does taste great this season. I understand.
Togo: You're so nice, Yuna-chan.
Yuna: I'm just glad it's nothing serious.
Karin: You shouldn't spoil her so much, though.
Fu: ...I should be feeling better by tomorrow. Until then, you're in charge... Karin.
Karin: Hmph, well if you insist.
Fu: No wait, I mean you, Togo.
Karin: Hey, was that feint really necessary?
	...She named me...!
	So that means... I gotta get pumped up!
Itsuki: I think you'll get better with a day's rest.
Togo: Understood. Please rest and relax.
	Sempai apologizes as she hangs up.
Togo: I shall honorably fulfill the duty you have bestowed upon me, Sempai.
Itsuki: Togo-sempai's getting pumped up!
Karin: I'm kinda getting a bad feeling about this...
Karin: So, substitute head. What's the hero club going to do today?
Togo: I've got some updates to do on our homepage schedule, so could you guys formulate the plans for this weekend's river cleaning?
Itsuki: Understood!
Karin: How precise. I expected nothing less from you, Togo. Leave it to us.
Yuna: AWRIGHT, I SHALL GO WRITE UP THE PLANS!
Karin: Stop saying every single thing the same way as "I shall become a hero".
	Everyone hears out my requests.
	I think I can pull off this substitute club head thing properly.
	...
	The hero club homepage has a column entitled "Today in Our Nation".
	It's where I spin out my thoughts.
	I just strike on the keys and words gush forth.
Togo: Our morals-- the consideration for others, the will to protect our nation, and the justice that detests evil, are something that we have without the need to learn.
 Togo: As students, it is of course of great importance that we study for the obtainment of knowledge, but I believe it is equally important in life not to lose sight of our inherently noble nature.
 Togo: And that nature is of course the desire to serve our great nation! ...To be continued in the next issue.
	Taaaaaaahn! (←Keyboard sound)
Togo: ...It's done. I've written a pretty good article.
Togo: ...No, wait. Maybe it's not passionate enough...
	I always get Fu-sempai to proofread, but today I'm the substitute club head.
Togo: I'll spell out all my thoughts for all the responsibilities bestowed upon me.
	I clack away at the keyboard.
	I've got a feeling this'll come out even more masterfully than usual.
Itsuki: We've finished writing up the plans too.
Togo: Good work. Onto the next task, then.
Itsuki: Actually, the hero club has gotten several consultation requests.
	Itsuki-chan hands me a printout.
	It's a compilation of all the email requests.
Karin: Itsuki's fortunetelling's often on the mark, so those sorts of requests have increased, huh.
	Indeed, there's a good number of them.
Yuna: Nothing wrong with that. Settling everyone's worries is just another aspect of the hero club!
Togo: Yuna-chan's exactly right.
	We decide to send replies to each of the requests one by one.
Itsuki: First request. 'I'm looking for some western music.'
	I see... western music...
	True, western music in this new century isn't that bad, but...
	A Japanese song would be better here, wouldn't it?
Togo: Let's recommend them a Japanese song instead.
Karin: No, we should go with another idea there.
	Shot down immediately.
Togo: Oh... you think so?
	I'm the club head, and yet my opinion didn't match anyone else's.
	I better be more careful next time.
Itsuki: N-next request. 'I like someone, but I don't have the courage to confess to them'
Karin: Oh, this is your turn to shine, Itsuki.
	Don't have the courage? As a hero, that makes me want to give them a big reassuring push from behind.
Togo: But if you like someone, you ought to tell them how you feel.
Togo: This is where you need to attack them with your feelings head-on.
	I salute you.
Karin: Hmm... a big push from behind, huh.
Itsuki: M-maybe we should hear their story out first.
Togo: Hmm.
	Another difference in opinion.
	I need to be careful...
Itsuki: Aauuu, it's terrible, Togo-sempai! A teacher calling from the staff room's saying the column on the homepage is too extreme...
Togo: ...no way
	Even more problems!
	It takes quite some time to bring the situation under control.
Togo: I'm sorry for causing so much trouble today.
	*bow*
Yuna: No problem at all! I mean, right?
Itsuki: None of us could've handled the situation that swiftly.
Karin: Well, it is part of my duty to back you guys up, so don't let it bother you.
Togo: ...Thank you.
	Everyone's nice to me.
Togo: Being club head is such a difficult job, huh... I'm not yet up to the task...
	I feel insufficient in my competency.
Togo: Fu-sempai really is amazing.
	I've gained more respect for our head and upperclassman.
	Late at night.
	Even after I've gotten back, I occasionally get shot a message or two.
	I don't feel like I'm alone at all.
	After all, I've gotten so many messages even right before bedtime.
	"Good night, everybody~ - YUNA"
	"Good work - KARIN"
	"Itsuki's already asleep. Good night - Fu"
Togo: Good night, everybody.
	--See you tomorrow.
