## Nagumo Miyabi's Monologue

This will be translated eventually so I'm not bothering.

## Chapter 1

### Part 0

Ayanokouji is waiting outside the dorm. He is commiting to memory the sight of
students heading to school. He knows people might think it's odd, but then
points out that if someone thought they could only see a sight for one more
year, they would also cherish it.

He gets a message from Nagumo telling him to come to the Student Council room
after school. He can't really refuse so he repsonds with an ok.

Kushida walks by and smiles and waves at him. He raises his hand to respond to
her, but then she glares at him and gets angry. He wonders what he did to
deserve that.

Finally, Kei arrives in a hurry. They chat for a bit about her bedhead, then go
to school.

### Part 1
When he gets to class, Hirata immediately leaves a group of girls and comes up
to him. Ayanokouji is a bit worried because the girls are now glaring at him for
taking Hirata away. Hirata tells Ayanokouji he can always count on Hirata if he
needs help. Ayanokouji infers this is about the Ayanokouji group situation and
then tells Hirata he'd keep that in mind and thanks him. After a bit more
Ayanokouji asks Hirata to go back to the girls.

Chabashira appears and goes into the explanation for the end of semester special
test. She tells them this isn't much to worry about, nobody will be getting
expelled due to it. Then she explains that this will be a written test where two
classes will face off against each other, specifically Class A vs Class B and
Class C vs Class D. This matchup was based on the results of the end of term
tests.

The winner gets 50 CP and the loser loses 50 CP. Chabashira mentions that this
test will cover all the subjects they usually cover in the midterm tests, and
that the difficulty of the questions will range from relatively easy to more
difficult than the most difficult ones they get in the usual tests.

Then come some more details of the rules:

- 100 questions, everyone in the class has to answer at least 2 and at most 5
- 10 minutes per person, this includes time taken to enter and leave the room
- If the 10 minutes run out before the student leaves, no points for their
  answers
- After a student has answered their questions other students aren't allowed to
  change the answers
- Everyone waits in a separate room, only the next student is allowed to wait at
  the entrance the exam room
- Not allowed to leave answers/hints on the paper or tell verbally
- Based on amount of time left at the end, there's a bonus (10 point for 1 hour
  left, etc.)
- No matter how difficult the question is, the points per answer is based on the
  student's academic OAA as of Dec 1. OAA E gets 5 points, D gets 4, and so on
  until A gets 1.

This is followed by a bit of discussion surrounding the rules. The test will be
held on the 22nd of December, with the 23rd being the last day of the term.

### Part 2

After school, Ayanokouji shows up at the Student Council room just a little bit
early. He hears people arguing inside but can't clearly hear what they're
saying. He waits until the exact time and enters the room to find Nagumo and
Kiriyama seated. Kiriyama gets and up stands behind Nagumo. There is a bit of
back and forth before Kiriyama reveals that Ichinose and Horikita are also on
their way to the stuco room. There's a bit more chit chat between Nagumo,
Kiriyama and Ayanokouji that's mostly pointless. Eventually, Kiriyama tells
Nagumo to move on because there's another thing he'll have to deal with after.
You'd think they would get the point after this, but even after that there's a
mostly pointless conversation.

Finally, Nagumo says that it is time for him to step down. He wanted to keep
going but the school told him to cut it out and let the second years get some
experience as well. All the third years have already left the stuco leaving only
Nagumo and Kiriyama. So Nagumo has to pick between Ichinose and Horikita, the
two remaining students in the stuco. Ayanokouji asks him why he's talking about
this with him; Nagumo says this is going to be their fight as it would be
relatively fair. The two of them are going to duke it out to determine the next
StuCo prez.

Ayanokouji says it's always possible there's some other inter-year competition
coming up, so Nagumo says "then we'll just consider this the prelude".
Ayanokouji says I don't want any more of this, so this will have to be it.
Nagumo points out that Ayanokouji is at a disadvantage; Nagumo controls the
third years so 1/3 of the votes are firmly with whoever he supports. Ayanokouji
says that's cool so long as the voting is anonymous. Nagumo wonders if that will
make enough of a difference but agrees.

Then Nagumo says that they must bet something for this to be interesting. He
says Ayanokouji can ask for anything. Ayanokouji asks if Nagumo will be ok
getting expelled if he loses, Nagumo says he's fine with it but it'll cause
problems so no. Then Ayanokouji proposes that if he wins, Nagumo will have to
give him 20mil PP, and he's willing to be expelled if he loses. Nagumo is cool
with this. Kiriyama copes and seethes for a while but Nagumo don't care. Nagumo
tries to threaten Ayanokouji, saying that he's okay with a smaller bet, but
Ayanokouji isn't shaken and says he's fine betting his expulsion.

At this point Horikita and Ichinose show up. Before they enter, Kiriyama begs
Nagumo to not tell them about the bet. Then Nagumo verifies that Ayanokouji is
OK with the deal and says that the bet is on the moment the girls come in.
Ayanokouji agrees and Kiriyama lets them in.

Horikita and Ichinose enter. They're both obviously confused to see Ayanokouji
there. Nagumo then starts explaining to them about the election. Horikit doesn't
understand why he's doing an election; she is okay with Ichinose becoming the
next stuco, and last time Manbu was able to just hand it off to Nagumo. Nagumo
points out that there's only two second years in the StuCo: Horikita and
Ichinose. Ichinose is in class D, which is not a good look. Horikita joined only
in the second year, so she doesn't have the track record Ichinose does. So this
isn't an easy or trivial decision to make, hence an election makes sense.
Horikita understands and says she's going to run.

Now, Nagumo asks Ayanokouji who he's going to support. Horikita goes ??? and
asks why Ayanokouji is here. Nagumo says they're having a but, much to
Kiriyama's coping and seething. Horikita goes "wtf are you doing" to Ayanokouji,
he tries to explain but she gets him. They're about to move on when Kiryuuin
bursts into the scene.

Unlike normal, Kiryuuin is pretty mad. She told Kiriyama that she wanted to meet
Nagumo, so he set this up. Nagumo doesn't care, he wants to continue the
discussion with Horikita and Ichinose. But Kiryuuin isn't letting go; she tells
him she has an appointment and she will be heard. She puts her leg on a chair
and threatens to smash it if he doesn't listen. After a bit more back and forth
Nagumo agrees to talk to her.

She angrily asks Nagumo if he's behind the person who tried to frame her for
shoplifiting. When she was shopping for make up in Keyaki mall, a loser from
Class 3-D named Yamanaka tried to put a lipstick from the store into her bag.
She noticed him and bullied him into revealing that Nagumo had ordered him to do
it. She then asks Nagumo straight up if he was behind it.

Nagumo asks her why she's so put off by this; this isn't normal for her, he
says. She says fuck do you know about what's normal for me; I hate shoplifting
and don't want to be accused of it. Nagumo asks her why she believes Yamanaka;
she says given Nagumo's position in Year 3, lying that Nagumo made him do it
would only backfire on him. Nagumo then tells her not to worry. If anybody tries
to punish her for it, he would ensure it didn't happen. Kiryuuin flips it and
says _he_ needs to be punished for it. Nagumo loses interest in this and says
this conversation is over. Kiryuuin pushes it a bit but Nagumo points out that
she doesn't have any proof and basically tells her she has nothing on him. He
then goes back to the election.

Before he can move forward, Kiriyama stops him and says Ichinose hasn't said
anything about running in the election. Nagumo says she doesn't need to, but
Kiriyama says that won't do, and asks her. To everyone's surprise, Ichinose goes
"yeah I'm not running, in fact I'm going to quit the stuco." Nagumo tries to
talk her out of it, but she says given her class's declining position and her
own sinful past she doesn't think she should continue or run for president.
Ayanokouji, Kiriyama and Nagumo realize she won't be talked out of it at this
point. She leaves the room, saying she'll be back to finish the paperwork for
leaving later.

Now that Ichinose's gone, Horikita is the only candidate for the election and
wins by default. Horikita asks Nagumo what she should be doing. He says she
needs to find a replacement for Ichinose from the second year, she can pick
anybody so long as the people around them think they're suitable for the stuco.
Then Nagumo tells her to find members from the first year, one or two at least.
When she's done, Nagumo will formally transfer the title of StuCo Prez to her.
She agrees and leaves.

Ayanokouji tries to run off too. He notes that now that there's no election, the
bet should be off. But Nagumo stops him and commands him to help Horikita find
memebrs for the StuCo. He's going to check with her so Ayanokouji can't slack
off either. Ayanokouji agrees, and before leaving hands Nagumo some souvenirs
from Hokkaidou.
