[Hero Club room]

Suz: Miroku-san...

Yum: Suzume-san...

SON: Wonderful, Chunsuke! This face is great! I love your expression, Yumikichi!

Suz/Yum: ...

SON: More, please, Chunsuke! Yumikichi! Bring your faces closer!

Suz: ... Miroku-san...

Yum: Suzume-san...

Suz: I can't keep this pose any longer...

Yum: !?

Yum: Sonoko-san! How long must we maintain this same pose!?

SON: Keep going~! I'm gonna take much more servings~.

SON: Ah, when Chunsuke and Yumikichi are done, it'll be Akamine Yuuyu's turn, so prepare yourselves~.

Aka: Sure, but how are we supposed to prepare?

Ren: ...

Aka: Renchi?

Kir: What's up with the long face? Yer stomach hurtin' or somethin'?

Ren: I was image training. Since Miroku should be prepared to answer to any request.

Kir: Ye don't need to answer to them! If ye're ready fer anythin', Sono's never lettin' ya go!

Ren: Indeed, you have a point. Sonoko.

SON: Yes?

Ren: I will only accept 5 requests.

SON: ! Then do the same pose as Chusunke and Yumikichi!

Ren: Hmph, as good as done. Yuuna.

Aka: Haa, I'm not escaping this, am I.

Ren: Yuuna...

Aka: Renchi...

SON: !? With Chusunke and Yumikichi, it felt like the bittersweetness of a page from a romance manga!

SON: But Miro... is as moving as a painting! There is true art right here!

Kir: What's that mean?

Aka: Shizu-senpai, am I being treated as extra in a set with Renchi?

Kir: And that's fine, not that I'd know.

Suz: Actually, I've been thinking this since the beginning, but...

Yum: What is it?

Suz: Will this pose be used as reference for a book we'll show kindergarten aged kids?

[Kameya]

SON: Siiiiiiip. Munch munch. So how is progress on all of your picture books?

Hin: We're a little bit behind schedule. But I think we will be ready on time.

Tak: Did something happen that made you late?

Hin: Well... there was some issue about the main character's name.

SON: The main character's name~? I can assume from your team it's a name close to Waka-chan, right?

Hin: Yes, we settled on "Wakana-chan", but...

Hin: It took some time to convince Wakaba-chan.

Son: We just have to gain it back.

SON: Good, good. And you, Anzun?

Anz: Mine will be udon's great adventure.

SON: Udon's great adventure!? You got me curious~.

Anz: I will try my best to make a story you will enjoy too!

SON: Yes, I'm looking forward to it.

Anz: What will yours be like?

SON: Mine? A girls' friendship story, of course.

Anz: Intense friendship between girls, right!?

SON: Just normal friendship, normal~.

Anz: I can't wait!

Fuu: What's going on over on your group, Tougou? You're not getting out of hand, are you?

Tou: Far from it! Thanks to Fuyou-san's brilliant idea, we are close to completion.

Sum: The adventures of Kokubou kamen will be a masterpiece!

Fuu: You'll be reading it to kindergarten kids, okay? I'm serious, be careful.

Tou/Sum: You can count on us!

Fuu: ...I'm not reassured.

Tou: It will be fine, we mean it. But anyway, what about your group?

Fuu: Us? We don't have a story!

Sum: No story... Is this a pun? (Note: Naiyou = contents, nai = none)

Fuu: No! We don't want to fight on the story battlefield!

Fuu: But I think they'll enjoy it.

[Hero Club room]

Sek: Alright, and with this, we've completed all of our picture books~.

SON: I'm confident in mine~.

Tou: So am I, Sonocchi.

Wak: In the end, I gave in regarding the main character's name...

Hin: Fufufu, this is the best picture book it could have been.

Anz: I'm confident ours is also a nice picture book!

Sek: And now, begin the censorship review. Problematic works will be confiscated.

Tou: Down with censorship!

SON: This is tyranny!

Sum: For the picture book's freedom of speech!

Fuu: Tyranny is allowed! Announcing the reviewers! Me, Sekka, Shizuku. That is all!

[Review begins]

[1st book]

Hin: First is our book.

Sekka: So the title is, I see, "Nogi Wakana is a Hero".

Fuu: Eeh, this looks interesting.

Shi: Accepted.

[2nd book]

Sek: This second book tells the adventures of plain udon, gathering mountain vegetables and seafood to become the strongest udon.

Sek: And who made this?

Anz: It's us.

Fuu: The strongest mountain and sea udon, it sounds delicious. I'm certain this will make everyone hungry for udon.

Shi: Accepted.

[3rd book]

Sek: The 3rd one is ours. It's about Kokubou Kamen, fighting against the villains scheming to overthrow the government... Huh?

Sek: Tougou, I'm seeing things I didn't know about here.

Sek: Why is Kokubou Kamen exposing a corrupt politician for treason against the country?

Tou: My uncontrollably patriotic hearth may have escalated the picture book's themes...

Fuu: No, no, there's no way... Woah. Kokubou Kamen even did this...

Shi: Rejected.

Fuu: Confiscated!

[4th book]

Sek: Sonoko's books is "Chunko and Yumikichi", huh. ...Well, it's okay?

Fuu: Yeah. The girls look a little closer than I would have liked, but it's normal enough.

Shi: Accepted.

Tou: Why!?

Sum: Perhaps reading our book prior made Sonoko-san's book appear more normal...

SON: That's wrong, you two. Here, give it a read.

Sum: !? It's good in a normal way...!?

Tou: What does this mean, Sonocchi!?

SON: Such thickness comes with age. Come you two, hurry up to this level.

Tou: How far behind are we...!

Sek: They're getting excited over there, but aren't we reviewing your group's book, senpai?

Fuu: No, we'll be fine.

--(4)--

[Hero Club room]

Fuu: It's almost time to go, but... Tougou, does your group not mind not going with a book?

Kar: Wait! This was the book they made by themselves, we have another one we made!

Kar: Where's the book we all made together? Give it to us, Tougou, Sumi.

Tou: ...Sumi-chan, could you get it?

Sum: ...Yes.

Sum: This is the book our group made, Fuu-san.

Fuu: I'll give it a quick look. ...Yes, okay.

Kar: Jeez, so your plan was to make another book yourselves and mix it with the others.

Tou: ...Haa, what a shame.

Sum: Don't worry, Tougou-san. This other picture book also contains our feelings.

Tou: Right... You're right, Sumi-chan!

Fuu: ...The way you describe it, it sounds like something you shouldn't read to kids.

Tou/Sum: Why!?

[Kindergarten]

Sum: And Kokubou Kamen said.

Sum: So you're the villain! Kokubou Kamen will beat you!

Kid 1: Do it! Kokubou kamen!

Tou: Haa, the real line was "Under the darkness of night unknown to the sun, Kokubou Kamen sees through you!".

Fuy: What's wrong? Look at the kids' faces, Tougou-kun. These bright smiles! It got their full attention, see!?

Fuu: Continue like this! Keep going, Sumi! Don't make modifications!

Sek: Never a dull moment, huh.

Yuu: You don't have to worry so much. I'm sure it'll be fine with Sumi-chan.

Kar: She already tricked us once, where does this trust come from...

Sum: Thank you very much for listening.

Kar: Phew, so it went well.

Fuu: Alright! Our picture book is next!

Yuu: Who will be reading your book?

Fuu: No one will be reading ours, because...

Kids: Waaah...!

Kid 2: Amazing! The drawing jumped out!

Yuu: A book that jumps out!?

Kar: Nice idea. Was it yours?

Fuu: No, Shizuku's.

Shi: I'm glad they like it.

Mas: That's great. Yamabushi-chan's idea won. Not that it was a competition.

Shi: Yes.

--(5)--

[Shopping district]

Tam: They really loved our picture books!

Gin: Yes! It was a huge success!

Tou: It would have been an even bigger success if only we could have shown them one more book, what a shame.

Kar: I'd call that utter chaos though.

Son: That was fun, Wasshi!

Sum: Yes, Sonocchi!

Yuz: ...

Fuy: What're you looking at, Yuzuki-kun?

Yuz: Illuminations.

Fuy: Ooh, gorgeous! These illuminations are wonderful!

Gin: They are! The shopping district really puts in the extra effort every year!

Yuz: ...It's really pretty.

[Hero Club room]

Fuu: I declare this after work + Christmas party open! Cheers!

Gin: Um, Fuu-san. This pop-up book was Shizuku-san's idea, right?

Fuu: Yes, that's right.

Shi: Was there... anything that stood out to you?

Gin: Yeah, everything! When I saw it! I thought it was so awesome!

Shi: You'll make me blush if you praise me so much.

Gin: If you don't mind obviously, but could you tell me how to make one!?

Shi: ...Why?

Gin: My little brother loves these. So I'm just thinking it would be nice if I could make one too.

Shi: ...

Gin: Ah, but we don't know if I'll actually have the chance to make it, so I don't mind it at all if you say no!

Shi: No, I'll teach you. So that you can make one for your brother.

Gin: Shizuku-san...! Thank you!

--(6)--

[Hero Club room]

Fuu: We're done eating, it's time for the main performer! Nogi!

SON: That's rig~ht, we've actually made other picture books, not for kindergarten, but for the Hero Club~!

Wak: Mh? Is that so? Who made them?

Hin: Our goal was to make 3 with Sonoko-san, Tougou-san, Sumi-chan and me, but...

Tou: Fuu-senpai!

Sum: Fuu-san!

Fuu: W-What!?

Tou: Our book too!

Tou/Sum: Please let us read it to the club!

Fuu: No, that's banned.

Tou/Sum: No way!?

Hin: ...In the end, only Sonoko-san's and my book have been completed, it seems.

Wak: It seems.

Fuu: Nogi, Hinata. Is there anyone you would like to have read your book first?

Hin: Wakaba-chan for mine!

Hin: Wakaba-chan, please... read my work I am proud of!

Wak: Let's see... T-This is!

Hin: Ba-dump.

Wak: Wakana gets pampered by her friend who looks just like you, and she also cleans her ears...

Hin: No, this one is Wakaba-chan. It's a precious record of Wakaba-chan's history.

Wak: I didn't hear about this, Hinata!?

Hin: Yes, because I didn't tell you.

Wak: ...Are you going to make everyone read this?

Hin: Yes♪

SON: I'm curious about Hinatan's picture book, but... the first to read mine will be Anzun! I chose you!

Anz: Me!?

SON: Come on~, read it, read it~.

Anz: Y-Yes...

SON: What do you think, Anzun?

Anz: Uuh...

Tam: Anzu suddenly started crying!?

Anz: As... As expected of Sonoko-sensei...! I could share my impressions all night along...!

SON: Thank you, Anzun.

Anz: Fuu-san! Could I take this book!?

Fuu: As long as Nogi is fine with it.

SON: Sure~.

Anz: Thank you very much! I will read it 10 times every day!

SON: But there's one condition. Anzun, I want you to make a picture book to exchange it for.

Anz: My picture book!? But comparing a book I made to yours, it would be day and night...

SON: But I want you to make it. Let's do a book exchange as fellow writers, okay?

Anz: Me and Sonoko-sensei, fellow writers... I am so honored I can't find the words...

SON: Will you do it?

Anz: Yes, I will do my best! I will create and put as much love into this book as you did!

Fuu: Good, good, I'm glad it all ended peacefully. I was right to ban Tougou's picture book.

Tou/Sum: I will not accept this!
