- Futatsugi City... Lacrosse field
- Advisor: That's it Kirari, go!
- Hikaru: (To the goal at this pace...)
- She's good...
- But I won't...give up!!
- Hikaru: ...?!
- Play offense, girls!
- Hikaru: (It's no good... At this rate they'll...)
- *Gasp!*
- *...Swish!!*
- We did it~!
- Hikaru: ...
- Advisor: Kirari, come over here a sec.
- Hikaru: Got it.
- Advisor: You, when did you start playing lacrosse?
- Hikaru: ...From 5th grade.
- Advisor: You are the only experienced one right? But recently...
- Hikaru: I'm sorry...
- Advisor: Isn't it frustrating to get beaten by beginners even if they are first-year students like you?
- Hikaru: ...
- Advisor: I don't want to say this but...
- Advisor: For me, you didn't seem to play seriously.
- Hikaru: That, that's not true!
- Advisor: Then, do you have any reason you can't concentrate?
- Hikaru: ...No.
- Hikaru: (There's no such thing...)
- Hikaru: (But I just felt drained all of a sudden...)
- Hikaru: (Possibly... Again...?)
- Advisor: Then you should take it more seriously.
- Advisor: I'm counting on you.
- Hikaru: Got it...
- Advisor: All right! Let's get to the next practice!
- Everyone: Got it!!
- Hikaru: ...I'm home.
- Hikaru's Mom: Welcome back, how was your club today?
- Hikaru: Ummm...well it was as usual.
- Hikaru's Dad: It's been about 3 years since you started playing lacrosse right?
- Hikaru's Mom: Amazing that it's the first time you lasted this long.
- Hikaru's Dad: Yeah, really great.
- Hikaru: It's not amazing at all...
- Hikaru: (Such is normal, normal...)
- Hikaru: I'm going to put my bag in my room.
- Hikaru's Mom: The food's ready, so come right back, okay?
- Hikaru: Got it.
- Hikaru: ...
- Hikaru: ...Really, it's just normal.
- Hikaru: But, it's no wonder they both want to praise me...
- *Creak...*
- Hikaru: (Before lacrosse, it was this trumpet.)
- Hikaru: (Pretty sure, it didn't even last a month.)
- Hikaru: (This tennis racket came before it...)
- Hikaru: (This karate dogi and calligraphy set were from that time...)
- Hikaru: (And in the living room... A piano...!)
- Hikaru: ...I just can't keep starting things anymore.
- Hikaru: ...I'll try my best just a little longer.

- Hikaru: My parents have always tried to sign up lots of lessons for Hikaru.
- Hikaru: Not to brag but Hikaru is talented, so I could improve at anything new quickly.
- Hikaru: Sports, music, and other stuff... It was fun and refreshing at first.
- Hikaru: But, the reason they didn't last long might be that I didn't really get into them, and they were not things Hikaru chose by herself, so I guess it ended up like that.
- Hikaru: So, I was quickly overtaken by those who were really into it and those who really wanted to win from the bottom of their hearts...
- Hikaru: It just kept happening since I can remember.
- Hikaru: My parents have always cheered me up even if Hikaru whined and ran away 'cause Hikaru couldn't get into it.
- Hikaru: But, such kindness from those two is so bitter for Hikaru sometimes...
- Hikaru: So this time, I don't want to give up at least lacrosse, the one Hikaru chose by herself, for the first time...
- ???: "...Kirari."
- ???: "Hey, Kirari!!"
- Hikaru: ...Huh?
- *Whap*
- Hikaru: It...hurts!!
- ...
- She...she received it with her head?!
- Are you okay?
- Advisor: ...
- Hikaru: ...S-sorry.
- Advisor: You again, Kirari...
- Advisor: Get out of the field!
- Advisor: You're disrespecting these girls who are playing seriously!
- What happened to Kirari?
- Somehow she looked out of sorts.
- Hikaru: (I knew it... No doubt about it.)
- Hikaru: (...At last, that time has come.)
- Hikaru: (Lacrosse as well... Even if it lasted 3 years this time...?)
- ???: ...
- Hikaru: I'm home...
- Hikaru's Dad: Oh! You're back!
- Hikaru's Mom: Welcome home, Hikaru!
- Hikaru: Yep...
- Hikaru: Somehow you both look happy.
- Hikaru's Dad: We wanted to present you this when you came home.
- Hikaru: This is...a pair of new shoes...?
- Hikaru's Dad: How is it? Do you like it?
- Hikaru: Isn't it...expensive?
- Hikaru's Mom: It's a reward for keeping it up for 3 years.
- Hikaru's Mom: And in the long run it's not that expensive, I think?
- Hikaru: ...
- Hikaru: Well... Ummm about...Lacrosse...
- Hikaru's Mom: Yes dear?
- Hikaru: I think...I'm going to quit it.
- Hikaru's Mom: ...
- Hikaru: In the first place it doesn't suit Hikaru well...
- Hikaru: It's like my motivation is done here.
- Hikaru: Though you went out of your way to buy me a new pair of shoes, I'm sorry.
- Hikaru's Dad: ...Is that so.
- Hikaru's Dad: Well, it can't be helped if Hikaru says so!
- Hikaru's Mom: Yes, that's right!
- Hikaru's Mom: Soon Hikaru will find something to get passionate about.
- Hikaru's Mom: Well then, shall we eat?
- Hikaru's Dad: Let's do so. Hikaru's also hungry right?
- Hikaru: ...Yes.
- Hikaru: That's right! I'm starving!

- Hikaru: —Hikaru— ...*Sigh*
- Hikaru: —Hikaru— (This manga...I'm getting tired with this, as the development is meh, and the ending must be as expected.)
- Hikaru: —Hikaru— (I'm even getting tired with these chips... Nothing lasts with me really...)
- Hikaru: ...
- Hikaru: For real, I can't do anything...
- Hikaru: It's a holiday, so I should at least get out of my room...
- Hikaru's Dad: It's been about 3 years since you started playing lacrosse right?
- Hikaru's Mom: Amazing that it's the first time you lasted this long.
- Hikaru's Dad: Yeah, really great.
- Hikaru: ...
- Hikaru's Dad: Well, it can't be helped if Hikaru says so!
- Hikaru's Mom: Yes, that's right!
- Hikaru's Mom: Soon Hikaru will find something to get passionate about.
- Hikaru: I feel awkward... Now that smile is, hurting me.
- Hikaru: Pull yourself together, Hikaru. You should find something to get passionate about...
- ???: Are you troubled? Hikaru Kirari.
- Hikaru: ...Huh?
- Hikaru: What's this creature...? How did you get in here...?
- Kyubey: My name is Kyubey.
- Hikaru: Kyu...bey... And this thing is talking!!
- Hikaru: A human being, sees this kind of illusion when feeling really down.
- Kyubey: I am not an illusion.
- Kyubey: I exist in reality, and I am talking to Hikaru Kirari.
- Hikaru: ...You must be...kidding...?
- Kyubey: It's definitely real.
- Hikaru: ...Say you're right, but why did you come to me?
- Kyubey: Because I am able to solve your problem immediately.
- Hikaru: ...
- Hikaru: How are you going to solve it?
- Kyubey: It's simple but on one condition.
- Hikaru: One condition...?
- Kyubey: Right, make a contract with me and become a Magical Girl.
- Kyubey: With that, I can grant you a wish.
- Hikaru: A wish...
- Hikaru: That means, you can only grant me a single wish, right?
- Kyubey: That is right. I am afraid it's only one.
- Hikaru: ...Now that you said that I can't decide.
- Kyubey: Of course, you don't have to decide right now.
- Kyubey: I will come again.
- Kyubey: You better make a decision until then.
- Hikaru: After that, nothing really happened for several days.
- Hikaru: More than that...
- Hikaru: The kindness of my parents as they treated me the same as always was really painful.
- Hikaru: The frustration from being unable to find something to get into and feeling sorry for my parents have only been accumulated, but still, I can't change myself...
- Hikaru: Perhaps Hikaru will be like this for the rest of her life...?
- Hikaru: I was being obsessed with such thoughts before I knew it, and just when I almost forgot about that strange creature...
- Hikaru: ...Kyubey really came again.
- Hikaru: I don't want to disappoint my parents anymore.
- Hikaru: Hikaru also doesn't want to be like this forever.
- Hikaru: So Kyubey...
- Hikaru: Give Hikaru something to get passionate about!

- Advisor: You want to quit lacrosse club?
- Hikaru: Yes.
- Advisor: Ah...Are you serious?
- Hikaru: Serious!
- Advisor: Is that so...
- Advisor: Think again.
- Hikaru: Huh?
- Advisor: You know it, right?
- Advisor: Even if you're in a slump, you're needed in our club.
- Advisor: You easily say that you want to quit, but it's not that easy.
- Hikaru: B-but...
- Advisor: First of all, what's the reason you want to quit the club?
- Hikaru: That is...how to put it...
- Hikaru: I just can't get into lacrosse I'd say...
- Advisor: Then, what's a thing you can get into?
- Hikaru: What thing, you ask me but...
- Advisor: Listen Kirari, I too am a teacher.
- Advisor: I've seen many kinds of students for years until now.
- Advisor: I just know how serious or how eager they are if I see them.
- Advisor: I also know you're not very enthusiastic about lacrosse.
- Advisor: However, when I saw you play for the first time...
- Advisor: At least I felt like you were enjoying it.
- Hikaru: ...
- Advisor: How about you try going all out just once?
- Advisor: If you do so, I'll consider your resignment.
- Hikaru: ...But, but what for?
- Advisor: I don't want to say this but...
- Advisor: Anyone who can't get serious with one single thing...
- Advisor: ...is only able to do a half-baked job.
- Advisor: So, if you experience seriousness just for once...
- Hikaru: I can't...I can't...
- Hikaru: Hikaru has, never got serious with anything.
- Hikaru: It's no use no matter how hard I try!
- Advisor: Kirari...
- Advisor: Quitting the club won't solve anything.
- Advisor: It'll only leave the shameful you who couldn't continue lacrosse.
- Hikaru: ...?!
- Hikaru: I know, such things!
- Advisor: Hey, hey! Kirari!!
- Hikaru: *Gasp*...*Gasp*...
- Hikaru: (I have no one I can lean on...)
- Hikaru: (I don't want to see anyone now...)
- Hikaru: (This place, I can be alone...)
- Hikaru: *Gasp*...*Gasp*...*Gasp*...
- Hikaru: (...Hikaru knows better that the advisor is right.)
- Hikaru: (But the impossible is impossible.)
- Hikaru: (That Kyubey thing didn't grant me my wish after all.)
- Hikaru: (The club didn't let me quit...)
- Hikaru: Why does no one understand this...
- ???: It's sad that no one understands you.
- Hikaru: ...Huh? Who...? How...?
- ???: I heard someone crying while walking down the corridor.
- ???: That'd make anyone want to know the reason, wouldn't it?
- ???: Let's not get hung up on whether the motive was curiosity or anxiety...okay?
- Hikaru: Curiosity...?
- ???: Don't make such an angry face. Of course, I am concerned, so I came to see what was wrong.
- ???: There, wipe your tears with this.
- Hikaru: ...Thank you.
- ???: ...
- Hikaru: ...
- Hikaru: Umm...
- ???: ...Yes?
- Hikaru: You're from the high school division... I'm sorry you had to see something weird.
- ???: I don't mind. And more than that, are you feeling better?
- Hikaru: Ah, yes... I feel okay now, so thank you...
- ???: *Chuckle* No need to be grateful, but instead...
- Yuna: Yuna Kureha, please remember it.
- Hikaru: Huh? What do you mean by that...
- Yuna: So long.
- Hikaru: W-wait, hold on!
- Hikaru: ...
- Hikaru: She's gone...
- Hikaru: What was that...that girl.
- Hikaru: Not sure if she's being kind to me or if she's making fun of me...Ah.
- Hikaru: Forgot to return her handkerchief.
- Hikaru: Hikaru was the type who gets easily bored.

- Ding Dong♪ Dang Dong♪
- Oh this is so dull... By the way, what sorta gathering is this?
- The school assembly right? I kinda remember... some kinda student council...
- Huh? What a crap.
- Hey, let's blow it off quickly.
- Where are you guys going?
- Oh shut it...
- What's with that attitude... and what's with that hair color?
- ...Tch, here we go again.
- Hey asshole, quit pickin' a fight as a teacher.
- Picking a fight?
- If you obeyed the school regulations and behaved then I wouldn't be correcting you like—
- I mean this, it's my own hair.
- You know nothin'... The reason why he turned delinquent...
- ...is that he had to dye his hair 'cause of them regulations when he was a middle-schooler.
- ...
- A-anyway regulations are regulations, so just dye that hair by next week...
- ???: ...Mm-hmm. The place is troubled just perfectly.
- ???: But that's just why it is worthwhile and rewarding to do the reform.
- Hikaru: ...Huh? That voice...?
- We will now begin the school assembly.
- To begin with, we have a message from the vice-principal.
- Vice Principal: Uhh... I think everybody already knows but...
- Vice Principal: We have a student council election at the end of next month.
- Vice Principal: So today, we will have a greeting from each candidate.
- Vice Principal: Students should listen carefully and take in information to refer to for voting.
- First up is Hasebe, who is running as a candidate for the secretary of the middle school division's student council.
- Please come over to the rostrum.
- I mean, how many of them do we have here?
- Hikaru: This is indeed going to be dull.
- ...And that is all the reasons why I am running as a candidate for student council president.
- Pleased to talk to you, everyone!
- Hikaru: It's finally over...
- Yeah, let's go back to the classroom.
- Huh? Another one is stepping onto the rostrum.
- Hikaru: Wha... There's still more?
- And the last candidate we have is a 1st year in the high school division, Yuna Kureha.
- Hikaru: ...Yuna Kureha...?
- *Tap-Tap-Tap...*
- Yuna: For this occasion, I, Yuna Kureha, am running for student council president.
- Hikaru: ...?!
- Hikaru: That girl... Yesterday!
- *Buzz Buzz...*
- Woah, it's still going on.
- No, I think the previous candidate was the last one...
- You can only run for the student council president as a 2nd year, right?
- While that girl, is a 1st year they say...
- ...That Kureha girl has been talking to the MC girl before the assembly began...
- Could it mean that she laid the groundwork to push her way onto the podium...?
- Yuna: First off, allow me to ask you all a question.
- Yuna: Do you think this school gives freedom?
- "..."
- Yuna: I didn't think so.
- Yuna: Fights between students and quarrels between a student and a teacher...
- Yuna: Anytime anywhere, someone is yelling at someone else.
- Yuna: But to me, it doesn't seem that everyone is seeking disputes.
- Yuna: At the school festival or sports day, we can see students working together...
- Yuna: ...to create their own school life voluntarily.
- Yuna: Such a wonderful spirit can be seen.
- Yuna: If so, what is bringing anger to this school?
- Yuna: It's simple; this school gives no freedom.
- Yuna: In other words, there are too many unreasonable rules that restrict freedom.
- Yuna: For example..."Male students are not allowed to have their hair reaching below their ears."
- Yuna: "Hair color must be black regardless of the natural hair color."
- Yuna: These are the remains from the educational policy long ago.
- Yuna: I don't think these kinds of rules are necessary to the present-day world and to us.
- Yuna: If I get elected president...
- Yuna: I am going to replace these rules with "New School Regulations" that I contemplated independently.
- Yuna: *Chuckle*
- Yuna: As a symbolic starter, I will revise the regulations about hairstyle and hair color.
- Yuna: What do you all think about this?
- Yuna: I will keep my commitments. So please, will you follow me?
- Yuna: In any case, if you agree with my idea even if only a bit...
- Yuna: ...Put those hands together and please applaud!
- *Clap...Clap...*
- *Clap Clap Clap Clap!*
- Yuna: Yes...louder! Clap those hands!
- *Clap Clap Clap Clap!!* *Clap Clap Clap Clap!!* *Clap Clap Clap Clap!!* *Clap Clap Clap Clap!!*
- H-hey! Stop that, all of you!
- Kureha! Come down from the podium already!
- Hikaru: ...
- Hikaru: ...Who on earth is she, Yuna Kureha.
- FILENAME: text_310222-2.txt
- Hikaru: (Honestly I don't feel like doing this but...)
- Hikaru: (I'm supposed to return things I've borrowed.)
- *Rattle Rattle*
- Hikaru: E-excuse me.
- Yuna: Oh, it's you...
- Hikaru: Yuna...Kureha.
- Hikaru: Thanks, for the other day.
- Yuna: I told you, it's fine.
- Yuna: But honestly, I didn't expect you to come see me.
- Hikaru: Hikaru...looks like someone who'd welsh...?
- Yuna: ...Yes?
- Yuna: Pardon me but may I ask what brings you here?
- Yuna: Well, your name is Hikaru who?
- Hikaru: Kirari.
- Hikaru: Today, I'm here to return the handkerchief I borrowed from you.
- Yuna: That makes sense...
- Yuna: I thought Kirari, you must be one of my supporters.
- Hikaru: Supporters? ...You mean the election?
- Yuna: Right, after the school assembly...
- Yuna: ...There have been many students visiting here to ask if they can help my campaign.
- Hikaru: I see...
- Yuna: Since you came all the way, how about you? The more hands the better.
- Hikaru: But I'm only, here to return your handkerchief.
- Hikaru: Moreover, Hikaru's got a club, and Hikaru is not very interested in the election.
- Yuna: I see...
- Hikaru: (Huh...?)
- Hikaru: (Why did Yuna just...smile?)
- Yuna: The school regulation says that it is allowed to be absent from club activities for participating events or school committee activities...
- Yuna: ...Well, it can't be helped if you are not interested.
- Hikaru: ...?!
- Hikaru: W-wait hold on!
- Hikaru: Is it possible? ...Suspending club activities.
- Yuna: It should be.
- Yuna: An election campaign, is one of the legitimate activities in the school.
- Hikaru: Then actually, please let me help you.
- Hikaru: Let Hikaru, help Yuna's election campaign!
- Yuna: *Chuckle* I am looking forward to working with you, Kirari.
- Hikaru: Alright!
- Yuna: It's about time that printing the posters is finished, right?
- It's finished here, for the amount we need.
- Yuna: How about your side Kirari?
- Hikaru: Err, umm, there's not enough printers so...
- Yuna: There are printers other than the ones in this classroom, right?
- Hikaru: ...
- Hikaru: I'll go look if there's anywhere else I can rent them!
- Hikaru: Counseling?
- Yuna: Well, I guess it would be something like that.
- Yuna: We can expect solid votes if we listen to someone's troubles and solve them.
- Hikaru: You may be right but...
- Hikaru: The kinds of troubles or worries we can advise are pretty limited right?
- Yuna: Even if we can only help one by one...
- Yuna: It will win us a large support as our reputation spreads through.
- Hikaru: Assuming that's true, is this something that needs to be done by Yuna herself?
- Hikaru: Because this is just...a troubleshooting, or I'd say, helping someone find their lost items?
- Hikaru: After carrying...this huge amount of documents... to the classroom...
- Hikaru: We can...call it a day...right?
- Yuna: Yes...right...just hold on...a little longer...
- Yuna: Oh...!
- *Swish!!* *Swish whip swish!!*
- Yuna: ...Now I've done it.
- Hikaru: It's not your fault.
- Yuna: I'll pick them up quickly, so please wait a moment.
- Hikaru: H-Hikaru will do it!
- Hikaru: Erm...the student council president is the head honcho right?
- Hikaru: Why should a person who aims to be the president do this kind of chore...
- Hikaru: Don't you feel like it's fruitless somehow?
- Yuna: How come?
- Yuna: I decided for myself that I will become the student council president.
- Yuna: There is no way making efforts to become the president is fruitless.
- Hikaru: Hikaru can't really see how you can be so devoted to it.
- Hikaru: And moreover...
- Hikaru: I've been worried that Yuna, is a 1st year right?
- Hikaru: Your candidacy isn't even recognized by the school regulations, actually...
- Hikaru: You might end up not being able to run for the election...
- Yuna: It's for a simple reason...
- Yuna: ...I am serious.
- Hikaru: ...Serious...you say.
- Yuna: Yes, I will win this election by any means necessary.
- Yuna: As I am seriously wanting to change the school.
- Yuna: Also, I only fight a winning battle.
- Yuna: Well then, shall we go?
- Hikaru: ...
- Hikaru: (So this is...what "being serious" means.)
- She came out of nowhere... That 1st year...
- FILENAME: text_310222-3.txt
- Yuna: Everyone is here right?
- Yuna: Okay then, let's check today's schedule.
- Yuna: First, let's solve three problems students have.
- Yuna: And then, I would like to decide the layout for our flyers.
- Yuna: Do we have any other high-priority task yet to be finished...
- "...Yuna Kureha."
- Hikaru: Huh...?! Who, who's this...?
- Now excuse me.
- Yuna: ...You, I know you.
- Of course, you should know me.
- As I'm running for student council president like you.
- Yuna: So, what do you want?
- Will you withdraw your candidacy right now?
- In the first place, you don't even have the rights to run your campaign, you know?!
- And yet, you've been making speeches and winning support from students without any permission...
- So just, cut it out with stirring up the election like it's a game already!
- Yuna: It's disappointing to hear that I'm playing around...
- Hikaru: Y-Yuna...
- Yuna: Surely I don't have the rights to run my campaign.
- Yuna: However, I'm willing to overcome that problem.
- Yuna: I have the determination and will to become student council president.
- Yuna: And there is no reason, my heart should be denied by you.
- You're, lying obviously!
- You're a daughter of the mayor and you excel in your academics, and also...
- As a matter of fact, you could've got into a school much better than here.
- And yet, you came here!
- With this, how can you say you're not playing here?!
- Hikaru: (Huh... Was that so...?)
- I'm...serious here...
- Even in a school like this, I'll be eligible for the high school recommendation admission if I become student council president.
- If that happens, even a not-so-smart girl like me can go to a good university!
- So don't get in my way anymore!!
- Yuna: ...You are also the one who is getting in my way.
- ...Excuse me...?
- Yuna: No matter what you say, I will not give it up.
- You...!
- Hikaru: Yuna!!
- *Slap...*
- Yuna: ...!
- Hikaru: Hey, what are you doing! With the violence!
- Yuna: ...Quiet, Kirari.
- Hikaru: ...
- Yuna: You do see she is serious right?
- Yuna: I understand the frustration because...
- Yuna: I am serious too.
- Hikaru: ...
- Yuna: And for that exact reason I will not give it up.
- ...
- Yuna: Surely, I entered this low-tier school opposing the will of my parents.
- Yuna: But, I decided it for myself.
- Yuna: And I, have realized the problems this school has after spending time here.
- Yuna: The fact that we have many troubled students, which isn't only because of their own problems...
- Yuna: If we get to abolish the unreasonable rules binding the students...
- Yuna: And get to make the rules by ourselves, more voluntarily...
- Yuna: Then that will change their behavior and will also change the school. I am certain of it.
- Yuna: I have decided to fight this election for such a future.
- Yuna: Go ahead, hit me as many times as you'd like.
- Yuna: I will never give it up.
- ...
- ...My bad, I'm just so angry and...
- Yuna: That's fine. I won't make a big deal out of it particularly.
- But, but...
- Yuna: Don't worry about it. Just go, please.
- Hikaru: ...Yuna, are you sure?
- Yuna: Yes, it's no problem.
- Hikaru: ...
- Yuna: What's the matter? You look unusually serious?
- Hikaru: Hikaru's got something to talk about with Yuna.
- FILENAME: text_310222-4.txt
- Yuna: Is that so... The lacrosse club...
- Hikaru: So honestly, I only wanted to suspend my club activities at first.
- Hikaru: But not anymore!
- Hikaru: After witnessing Yuna's seriousness this up close...
- Hikaru: I finally came to know what being serious means...
- Yuna: Glad you shared your story.
- Hikaru: Just wanted Yuna to get to know about Hikaru...
- Yuna: Thank you, Kirari.
- Yuna: I am sure you will find something to get passionate about.
- Hikaru: Yes, Hikaru thinks so too.
- Hikaru: With Yuna, I can definitely find it.
- Hikaru: The new flyers are done at last.
- Yuna: Yes, let's go hand them out once everyone is here.
- Yuna...
- Yuna: What is it?
- Umm...Teachers...
- Yuna: Teachers...?
- Kureha, we need to have a word with you.
- Yuna: What can I do for you?
- Yuna: I would've came to the teacher's office if you called me...
- No, not just you.
- But we want all the supporters who are helping your campaign to listen.
- Hikaru: Hikaru and the others...?
- ...Then, we will tell you.
- This has been formally decided by the faculty meeting a moment ago.
- According to the rules about the student council election...
- ...it's not possible to recognize Kureha's candidacy.
- Hence, stop your campaign immediately!
- Hikaru: No, not like this...!
- Yuna: ...
- Hikaru: Such a nostalgic memory about reforming the school.
- FILENAME: text_310223-1.txt
- ...it's not possible to recognize Kureha's candidacy.
- Hence, stop your campaign immediately!
- Hikaru: No, not like this...!
- Yuna: ...
- Hikaru: You can't just tell us to stop now...
- The way to respond to you has been discussed many times among the teachers.
- Admitting Kureha's candidacy like this will threaten the fairness of elections.
- Hikaru: Yuna...
- Yuna: It will be fine, Kirari.
- Yuna: May I bother you, sir?
- Yuna: One of our school regulations states that...
- Yuna: "By collecting the signatures from at least one-fifth of enrolled students in both the middle school and high school divisions..."
- Yuna: "...one can submit a bill of revising school regulations to the student council."
- Yuna: "In case the bill is, approved by a majority of the student council members..."
- Yuna: "...the school shall examine the cause."
- You must be thinking that...
- ...collecting signatures in this short period of time before the election...
- ...and revising the school regulation will allow your candidacy to be recognized?
- It's out of the question.
- Yuna: ...So, if I could collect the signatures despite such a short amount of time...
- Yuna: And then the bill is passed by the student council...
- Impossible.
- Yuna: Yet, if such a case happens...
- Yuna: Will the school recognize my candidacy?
- ...
- If such a thing ever happens...
- I'll have to call a special faculty meeting...
- But collecting the signatures is never easy in the first place.
- Hikaru: Will we make it...?
- Yuna: That was later than I expected.
- Yuna: I have been waiting for the school to tell us such.
- Hikaru: ...?!
- Yuna: We have a chance of winning.
- Yuna: Merely with the current situation that the number of my supporters has grown too large to ignore...
- Yuna: We were able to make such a hard negotiation about deciding an important issue within a short period of time.
- Hikaru: You, you've foreseen that far!
- Excuse me...
- Yuna: What is it this time?
- A teacher again...
- Advisor: Kirari.
- Hikaru: Huh? Teacher...
- Yuna: If I remember right, the lacrosse club's...
- Hikaru: What is your business...
- Advisor: I heard that you've been participating in Kureha's campaign.
- Advisor: ...So this is, what you really wanted to do, huh?
- Hikaru: That's right.
- Advisor: An election campaign while you couldn't get serious with lacrosse...
- Advisor: If it's a job done by you, isn't it going to end up half-baked again?
- Hikaru: No it's...
- Yuna: Sir, may I have a moment of your time?
- Yuna: Kirari, would you wait outside?
- Hikaru: Huh, but...
- Hikaru: ...I got it.
- Yuna: Kirari briefly told me, about the lacrosse club before.
- Yuna: You will consider her resignment whenever she shows her seriousness right?
- Advisor: ...Yeah.
- Yuna: If so, please keep your eyes on her participating in the campaign.
- Advisor: What do you mean?
- Yuna: *Chuckle* You will see in a moment.
- Hikaru: Yuna! ...And teacher.
- Advisor: So long, Kirari.
- Hikaru: Huh? Uh, yeah...
- Hikaru: What were you talking about with the teacher?
- Yuna: That teacher, once told you to show your seriousness right?
- Hikaru: Yeah... Only then he'll consider my resignment...
- Yuna: If so, you will only have to follow me as you always do.
- Hikaru: Huh...?
- Yuna: You already found something to get passionate about.

- ...I see, you need one-fifth of the signatures.
- Hikaru: That's right.
- ...Okay, gladly.
- Hikaru: Yes! Thank you!
- Well, guess I should sign here?
- Hikaru: Yep! Thank you!
- But, I see Hikaru's having a tough time for Yuna...
- Hikaru: A tough time? What's that?
- Because you're using up your precious break time and after-school hours...
- ...to collect the signatures from the students all around the school right?
- Seems like quite a tough time to me...
- Hikaru: I get it... But I don't really see it as tough.
- Hikaru: Actually, I want to try my hardest...
- How come?
- Hikaru: I will be of use to Yuna.
- Is that it?
- Hikaru: Hikaru can't think of anything else now that would make Hikaru happier than that.
- Oh, okay...
- Hikaru: Well, I should get going.
- Hikaru: Your signature, I really appreciate it.
- Yeah, good luck~.
- Hikaru: With that, I've visited almost everyone I know in the middle school division.
- Hikaru: It'll be my first time meeting anyone from here on...
- Hikaru: ...But, everybody will recommend Yuna for president if they get to know about her.
- Hikaru: Alright!!
- Advisor: ...
- FILENAME: text_310223-3.txt
- Hikaru: ...
- Hikaru: She's late...
- Hikaru: (Yuna... It'll be fine, right...?)
- ...Hmmm.
- Yuna: Please have a look at the next page.
- Oh, oh yeah...
- Yuna: The next page and the next page...
- Yuna: All the signatures from the people who support me.
- Can't believe...that it's actually collected...
- In addition, the student council approved the bill of revising school regulations on the same day...
- What kind of groundwork did you lay for this?
- Yuna: ...A secret.
- Yuna: Now, we only need teachers to have a faculty meeting...
- Yuna: ...and decide whether to recognize a 1st year's candidacy or not.
- ...Yeah, I know.
- I'll call a special faculty meeting in a minute.
- Yuna: I appreciate it.
- Hikaru: Yuna!! How, how was it?!
- Hikaru: The teachers, are they going to recognize Yuna's candidacy?
- Yuna: It is obvious.
- Yuna: As the student council did, the teachers are no exception.
- Yuna: Ignoring this amount of signatures from the students...
- Yuna: ...and becoming the villains is the last thing they would want.
- Hikaru: The bill for recognizing a 1st year's candidacy was passed in the special faculty meeting.
- Hikaru: Then with the approval of the board of directors...
- Hikaru: Yuna's candidacy has been recognized at last.
- Hikaru: You did it! Yuna!
- Yuna: Yes... but, this is just the beginning, with one week to go before the election day...
- Yuna: Do not lose concentration and fight it out to the end.
- Hikaru: Yes!!
- Yuna: Well then, let's resume our activities everyone.
- Advisor: ...Kirari, can we talk now?
- Hikaru: ...Teacher.
- Yuna: You are...
- Advisor: Sorry Kureha, but would you excuse us?
- Hikaru: ...
- Yuna: I will be waiting outside the classroom.
- Hikaru: Thank you very much.
- Hikaru: So, what's up? I've collected the signatures properly.
- Hikaru: Hikaru will continue campaigning no matter what Teacher thinks.
- Advisor: About that...
- Advisor: Kirari, I accept your resignment.
- Hikaru: ...Huh?
- Hikaru: W-wait a minute, what do you mean?
- Advisor: You said you want to quit, no?
- Hikaru: Yes, I did but, why so sudden...
- Advisor: I told you right?
- Advisor: That I'll consider your resignment if you show yourself going all out to something just for once.
- Advisor: You've definitely been serious with the election campaign.
- Hikaru: ...
- Advisor: If you found something to get that much passionate about other than lacrosse...
- Advisor: There's no need to tie you down. ...Well, that's what it is.
- Hikaru: ...I, I got that Hikaru has been serious with it...
- Advisor: You weren't aware of it?
- Advisor: You've been sparkling amazingly while running around for Kureha.
- Hikaru: For...Yuna...
- Hikaru: I see, that's it...
- Hikaru: (The election campaign sure was fun, so I got passionate about it before I knew it.)
- Hikaru: (But, I had no idea it was something I could get serious about...)
- Hikaru: (Now I've finally realized it.)
- Hikaru: (Hikaru got passionate about Yuna.)
- Hikaru: Oh...
- Hikaru: ...Kyubey really granted me my wish, huh.
- Advisor: Wish? What's that?
- Hikaru: It's a private matter.
- Hikaru: Anyway thank you very much, Teacher.
- Advisor: Oh, yeah...
- Advisor: Then Kirari, do your best.
- Hikaru: (I finally got my hands on the one thing I can get passionate about...)
- Hikaru: (This time I'll never let it go!)
- FILENAME: text_310223-4.txt
- Hikaru: ...
- Yuna: ...*Chuckle*
- Hikaru: Wh-why are you laughing now of all times?!
- Yuna: Because Kirari is even more nervous than I am.
- Hikaru: Of course I am!
- Hikaru: Shortly they'll announce the winner of the student council presidency we've waited so long for, no?!
- Hikaru: If anything it's weird of Yuna that you could remain so calm.
- Yuna: Is that so?
- Yuna: There is nothing we can do but wait for the result...
- Yuna: So you only need to stand tall.
- Hikaru: Ahaha... That's so like Yuna.
- ...To close, we move on to the voting results for the student council president of the high school division.
- Hikaru: (Here it comes...!)
- The new student council president is...
- ...1st year in the high school division, Yuna Kureha.
- Hikaru: Ah...
- Yuna: ...
- Hikaru: You won! Yuna is the student council president!!
- Yuna Kureha, please come over to the rostrum.
- Hikaru: I'll keep my eyes on Yuna's imposing figure from here.
- Yuna: ...Thank you, I will see you soon.
- Yuna: I am Yuna Kureha, a 1st year student at the high school division, and I have been elected as the student council president on this occasion.
- Yuna: First off, I would like to give my thanks to everyone who voted for me.
- Yuna: Really, thank you so much.
- Yuna: ...
- Yuna: Excuse me...
- Yuna: I actually wanted to, make an impressive statement here...
- Yuna: I never thought becoming a president would make me so happy...
- Yuna: I intended to stay calm as the one who will lead the people around me but...
- Hikaru: Yuna...
- Yuna: ...Then once again, I will tell you this.
- Yuna: Last time on this podium, I pledged to try my best to...
- Yuna: ...make this school the place where the students' initiative is respected.
- Yuna: But, I do not think it is something so easy to achieve alone.
- Yuna: To all the new student council members and teachers...
- Yuna: And the students who support me...
- Yuna: And more importantly, the ones who have helped me with my activities until today...
- Yuna: As well as my irreplaceable friends and...
- Yuna: ...the ones who have brought enormous passion into my activities... my comrades.
- Hikaru: (Woah, Yuna...!)
- Hikaru: (Don't look this way!)
- Hikaru: (Yuna, you're the president now, so you should look after the whole school!)
- Yuna: To reform, it takes all of us.
- Yuna: So...please continue to give us your support.
- Hikaru: ...
- *Clap Clap Clap Clap!!* *Clap Clap Clap Clap!!* *Clap Clap Clap Clap!!* *Clap Clap Clap Clap!!*
- Hikaru: ...You did very well, Yuna.
- Yuna: ...Kirari?
- Hikaru: Uh, yes?
- *Rustle...*
- Hikaru: This is the handkerchief of that time...
- Yuna: Wipe the tears.
- Hikaru: Oh, huh? Sorry, I didn't notice that...
- Hikaru: ...Somehow, it seems that I'm relieved.
- Yuna: Because the election has ended without any problem?
- Hikaru: That and... How should I say this...
- Hikaru: Hikaru no longer needs to, take it all on by herself now...
- Hikaru: Hikaru was alone when Hikaru borrowed this handkerchief.
- Yuna: Well yeah... Since it was an empty classroom.
- Hikaru: That, that's not what I meant!
- Hikaru: I had no friends around me, so every day, I was anxious...
- Hikaru: Not figuratively but, really I was all alone...
- Yuna: ...
- Hikaru: ...Y-Yuna!
- Yuna: What is it?
- Hikaru: Could you give this handkerchief to Hikaru?
- Yuna: ...I can't decide.
- Hikaru: As I expected, it's difficult...
- Yuna: Because this handkerchief is my favorite...
- Yuna: Besides, if they find out that Kirari has my handkerchief...
- Yuna: Something like, a strange rumor would be spread, right?
- Hikaru: Well, that's...
- Yuna: So, I want you to promise me...
- Yuna: ...that you will never lose that handkerchief.
- Yuna: And that, you will be on my side to be of help so you can return it at any time.
- Yuna: These are, the conditions for giving you that handkerchief.
- Hikaru: ...
- Yuna: Can you keep them?
- Yuna: ...Hikaru?
- Hikaru: ...?!
- Hikaru: Ah, yes!
- Hikaru: (Wherever you are, whenever it is...)
- Hikaru: (Hikaru will support Yuna!)
- Hikaru: The Eldest Sister is the only one I can get passionate about.
