Tojitomo General Election -Pledge Story- Their Choice

1: Mihono's Sensing Something Wrong

Yomi: The six of us, Tsubakuro-san, Setouchi-san, Asakura-san, Etou-san, Yamashiro-san, and myself, will be carrying out an aradama suppression assignment.
Yume: Hey, Yomi-onee-sa...
Chie: I hope we can work well together, Satsuki-san.
Yume: ...Actually, Chidori-onee-san! Since we got put on a mission together, let's have lots of fun!
Kanami: Sure! I'm excited too, Yume-chan.
Mihono: ...?
Yui: What's the holdup, Mihono-chan? We're all leaving.
Mihono: Ah-- Okay! I'll be right there!

Mihono: ...
Mihono: (Hmmm, don't think I was imagining it after all.)
Mihono: (Tsubakuro-san was definitely avoiding Chii-nee.)
Mihono: (I know Chii-nee doesn't really like Tsubakuro-san, but why's she avoiding Chii-nee?)
Mihono: ...Is it cause Chii-nee's scary? No, there's no way, right...?
Chie: Mihono-chan, you think I'm scary...?
Mihono: Ah-- Did I say that out loud!?
Yui: Yep. It came out loud and clear.
Chie: I know that, lately, I've been less reserved when I'm around the girls from the investigation team...
Chie: Should I try being a little more patient with Kofuki-chan when she causes trouble...?
Mihono: It's not like that, Chii-nee!
Mihono: I mean, yeah, when you're with Fukki, sometimes you get really scary, but that's all Fukki's fault!
Chie: So I really do scare you... I thought I was being a nice friendly onee-san, but I guess not...
Mihono: Crap; that just made her depressed.
Yui: It's fine, it's fine, I'll make sure to comfort her!
Yui: But anyway, what's on your mind that you were talking to yourself like that, Mihono-chan?
Mihono: That's cause...
Mihono: (Wait, if I bring up Tsubakuro-san in front of Chii-nee...)
Yui: You can't say?
Mihono: ...Kind of. Mm, sorry. I'm gonna get up for a bit.

Mihono: Tsubakuro-san, could I talk to you real quick?
Yume: What do you want, Onee-san?
Mihono: There's something I wanted to ask you...
Mihono: (Wait? But, how am I supposed to ask? Uhh...)
Mihono: Are you scared of Chii-nee?
Mihono: (That was way too blunt!?)
Yume: ......I don't wanna talk about it.
Mihono: (Of course she wouldn't! I messed this up... Aghh.)
Mihono: Sorry for asking something weird, Tsubakuro-san.
Mihono: (But, I still want to know... Now I'll just have to ask Satsuki-san.)



2: Yomi's Tough Position

Mihono: Satsuki-san, can I talk to you?
Yomi: ...
Mihono: Uh...
Mihono: (She's not... unhappy to see me or anything, is she? Ughh, she has that blank look on her face, so I can't tell what she's thinking!)
Yomi: Did you not need anything?
Mihono: No wait, I did!
Mihono: (It's alright, I had a feeling this would happen, so I came prepared!)
Mihono: Here, have some onigiri!
Yomi: Omusubi.
Mihono: Eh?
Yomi: They're omusubi.
Mihono: Y-Yeah, omusubi!
Yomi: Thank you very much for the food.
Mihono: (Okay... I think that broke the ice... Now go!)
Mihono: Um, actually, I had something I wanted to ask; is Tsubakuro-san scared of Chii-nee?
Yomi: She hasn't told me anything about it.
Mihono: Then, could you ask her for me!
Yomi: ...So that's what these omusubi were for. Fine, I'll ask her.

Yomi: I was looking for you.
Yume: Yomi-onee-san?
Yomi: There's something I need to ask. Are you afraid of Setouchi-san?
Yume: ...Did Kashuu Kiyomitsu-onee-san tell you to ask me?
Yomi: She did.
Yume: I knew it...
Yomi: Could you tell me?
Yume: She's the one......
Yomi: ?
Yume: She's the one... who doesn't like me. Maki-onee-san told me.
Yume: She said, that onee-san's from Mokusa, so she thinks bad of me. Basically, she hates me, right?
Yomi: ...
Yume: I don't want to talk to somebody who hates me if I don't have to. It wouldn't be any fun.
Yomi: So that's why.
Yume: Ah-- But you can't tell those onee-sans, okay! I'm only telling you, Yomi-onee-san.
Yomi: ......I understand.
Yomi: (The other onee-sans... I can't tell Asakura-san or Setouchi-san.)
Yomi: (...This is a problem.)



3: Yui's Dependability

Yomi: ......In the end, she refused to tell me either.
Mihono: She didn't...? Well, thanks for trying!
Yomi: Now I've kept my promise with Tsubakuro-san. I feel as if I've done something wrong to Asakura-san though.
Yomi: There's still friction between Tsubakuro-san and Setouchi-san, but it shouldn't create any issues dealing with aradama.
Yomi: Only... If I left Tsubakuro-san alone after she looked like that...
Yomi: ...She said... I couldn't tell Asakura-san or Setouchi-san, didn't she.
Yomi: ...
Yomi: I'll try speaking with Etou-san or Yamashiro-san.

Yomi: Yamashiro-san.
Yui: Ah-- Yomi-san!
Yui: What's up? Did you need something? Oh; if you're asking me out on a date, the answer's yes by the way!
Yomi: ...
Yui: Wait... ARE YOU REALLY ASKING ME OUT!?
Yomi: (What is Yamashiro-san talking about?)
Yomi: That's not it. It's about...

Yui: I see... Basically, you're saying cute girls look best when they're smiling!
Yomi: ...?
Yomi: Were you listening to what I said?
Yui: Every last word!
Yomi: ...
Yomi: I'll try explaining again. It started with...

Yui: Basically, THE SPECIAL DEFENSE TEAM IS SUPER PRECIOUS! I get it!
Yomi: Precious...?
Yomi: (Does Yamashiro-san not understand Japanese? I must have picked the wrong person to talk to.)
Yui: No need to look so worried! Everything'll be fine; just let me take care of this!
Yomi: ...That just gives me more concerns.



4: Kanami's on the Wrong Page

Yui: Kanami-chan! Help me come up with ways to get Chie-san and Yume-chan to make up!
Kanami: Sure thing!
Kanami: ...But, wouldn't it be better to get Mihono-chan's help with Setouchi-san?
Yui: About that, apparently Yume-chan gave Mihono-chan the no go.
Yui: Which is why it's up to you and me to come together and do something!
Kanami: ...She did? Alright then, let's give it our best shot together!
Kanami: (Yui-chan's so serious about this... She's such a nice person.)
Yui: (Guhehe, now I can talk Kanami-chan into doing all sorts of stuff with me...)
Kanami: So, what do we try first?
Yui: We take a bath!
Kanami: Hmmm, but I don't really think a bath's going to do anything...
Yui: Don't be like that! Nothing's going to bring us closer together like a bath!
Kanami: ...I guess you have a point?
Kanami: Then, you call Setouchi-san. And we can get Satsuki-san to ask Yume-chan?
Yui: Huh?
Kanami: ?
Yui: Ah, you mean for Chie-san and Yume-chan! Sorry, I was thinking about something else!
Kanami: How are you already getting off track!?
Yui: You know, I'm not really sure shoving two people who can't get along into a bath together is going to help.
Kanami: That's what I was saying at the start!
Yui: Ahaha, whoops, sorry!
Yui: Well huh... How about we start by thinking of something that'd make both of them happy? Then we might be able to work with that.
Kanami: Hmm, something that Yume-chan would be happy with...
Kanami: What about sparring?
Yui: That's just what makes you happy, Kanami-chan.
Kanami: Yeah, it makes me really happy. But I don't think I'm wrong about Yume-chan either.
Kanami: Did you come up with anything, Yui-chan?
Yui: So, you know how Chie-san's a big sister type? There's no way she wouldn't have good chemistry with Yume-chan then.
Yui: If we can get them to make up, I bet Chie-san'd be all over Yume-chan!
Kanami: ...But I mean, aren't we talking about how to get them to make up in the first place?
Yui: Oh yeah!
Kanami: I wish you'd listen to me, Yui-chan!
Yui: Okay, what if you act like Yume-chan and we see how Chie-san reacts!
Kanami: EHHHHHHHHHH!?



5: Chie's Determination

Kanami: U-Um, Setouchi-san!
Chie: Etou-san?
Yui: (Not like that, Kanami-chan! That's just you being your usual you!)
Kanami: (Ugh... Yui-chan's looking this way... Fine, I've just gotta do it!)
Kanami: Ch-Chie-onee-san!!
Chie: ......
Chie: Etou-san?
Kanami: U-Uh, I didn't mean that...
Kanami: (This is all your fault, Yui-chan!)
Yui: (I got a nice embarrassed "Chie-onee-san"!!)
Chie: Mihono-chan? Or... is that you, Yui-chan?
Kanami: Eh?
Chie: ...So it's Yui-chan hiding over there. I'm sorry for this, Etou-san.
Kanami: U-Uh...
Chie: Don't worry; I understand everything. I'll be sure to punish her as much as she deserves later.
Yui: (Ah... This is starting to turn bad... I gotta get out of here...)
Chie: You know what'll happen if you run.
Yui: !?
Kanami: I-It's not like that, Setouchi-san! There's a reason for this...
Chie: A reason?
Kanami: Yui-chan asked me to... Ah, but Satsuki-san was the one who asked Yui-chan in the first place...
Kanami: Apparently Mihono-chan was worried about how things are between you and Yume-chan.
Chie: Eh...?
Chie: (Ah... Back then, when she said I was scary, that must be what she meant...)
Chie: But then, why was it Yui-chan who asked you instead of Mihono-chan?
Kanami: Well, a bunch of stuff happened...
Kanami: And we just... Me and Yui-chan hoped things could get a little better with you and Yume-chan.
Kanami: And, we thought we could do something...
Chie: So, why "Chie-onee-san"?
Kanami: ...I was kinda trying to copy Yume-chan.
Chie: (How did they even come to the conclusion that Etou-san should try copying Tsubakuro-san...?)
Chie: ...I'm sorry you had to go through something embarrassing because of me.
Kanami: (She said it's embarrassing... Ughh.)
Chie: And, thank you for doing all this for me.
Chie: ...I'll try talking with Tsubakuro-san.



6: Yume's Response

Yume: What is it, Yomi-onee-san?
Chie: Good evening.
Yume: Ah...
Yume: Y-Yomi-onee-san needed me for something, right? I'll go find her.
Chie: It's not... as if I've forgiven you.
Yume: ...Sigh. I told Yomi-onee-san to keep it secret...
Yume: I know that. And, it doesn't really matter. It wouldn't change what I did.
Chie: You aren't going to make excuses?
Yume: I'm not. Even if you did forgive me, there's lots of people who'd still be just like you, right?
Yume: I don't want to go making excuses to all those people.
Chie: No matter what excuse you gave me... I wouldn't forgive you. You owe them more than that.
Chie: Which is why... Let's fight. When I win, then we can move past this.
Yume: There's no way you'll win though.
Chie: Even so, I'll win.
Yume: ...I don't want to. I'm not going to fight you, Onee-san.
Chie: And why not?
Chie: You want to be remembered for how strong you are, don't you? Isn't that why you cut down everyone in Mokusa?
Yume: I do, but...
Yume: It's just... this is how that ended up. I don't like being remembered like this...
Chie: ...
Yume: Do you remember back when we did the charity stuff for Miss Gokaden?
Chie: I remember.
Yume: Back then... Yomi-onee-san told me this.
Yume: ...Those kids there would never forget my strength.
Chie: ...
Yume: But that's weird, right? It's not like they even got to see me when I was fighting. But they still remembered how I helped them.
Yume: And... Yeah. I felt like, if people are going to remember me, I like it better like that.
Chie: Is that why you won't fight me? You're really... selfish, aren't you.
Yume: I can't help it if it's more fun that way.
Chie: ...That's true.
Yume: Huh?
Chie: I can tell you do have regrets, and you are growing from it.
Chie: So then, I should...
Chie: I shouldn't go saying things like, I'll never forgive you. It makes me seem like the childish one.
Yume: Onee-san...?
Chie: What you've said just now, I'll never forget it for the rest of my life.
Chie: So, Tsubakuro-san... I want you to never forget this feeling now either.
Yume: ...Does this mean, you'll make up with me?
Chie: It does.
Yume: ...Okay! I'll make sure I don't forget! So thanks, Onee-san!
