AI: "Hey, hey, everyone! Did you see the notice board?! There's a notice about a re-election between Shioriko Mifune and Setsu!"
KASUMI: "Ai, you don't have to shout so loud! We saw it too!"
AKI: "What a pain, does she really have to be that desperate?"
KANATA: "She just declared war on Setsuna and she's already posting notices about the re-election, huh?"
KARIN: "She sure gets the job done fast."
AI: "We won't sit back and let her win!"
SETSUNA: "I'm sorry for causing all this trouble just when we were about to put all our efforts into the School Idol Festival."
AKI: "Not at all! You shouldn't be apologizing for anything. You're not the one causing trouble."
EMMA: "That's right. You don't need to worry about us, Setsuna."
AYUMU: "Yup. I was surprised by the sudden turn of events, but let's all band together to think about how to win the election."
RINA: "We're your allies. Rina-chan Board says, 'Serious!'"
AKI: "Can she really just challenge the current authority like that?"
SETSUNA: "I did some research myself about the section Mifune pointed out, and it's just as she says.
As such, if the election results force me to resign as Student Council President, then it would mean that I made an error and am left with no other choice."
AKI: "I see..."
SETSUNA: "However, if she were to become the Student Council President, then the club..."
AI: "Oh, that's right!"
KANATA: "I believe that in one's high school career, a period when one must prepare for the future, school idol activities are meaningless. Her whole spiel took it too far! I'm a little hopping mad!"
AKI: "I myself crossed the line, too."
KARIN: "Don't worry Boss. It's just how Kanata says. Mifune doesn't understand a thing about Setsuna or about school idols."
AKI: "But what she does understand is power, even if it means abusing it."
KASUMI: "I doubt she's even seen a school idol performance before. That's why she says things like that!
ARGH, I'm getting all fired up inside!"
SHIZUKU: "Kasumi, calm down. Now, now, it's okay."
KASUMI: "There's no way I can be calm! I mean, come on! That Shioriko Mifune is making a mockery of Setsuna, my Senpai and school idols as a whole!"
EMMA: "M-Maybe you're seeing it worse than it really is. After all, it doesn't seem like she's revealed Setsuna's secret, and she might really have the school's best interests in-"
AKI: "No. Not her. Best interests only matter to them if your last name is Mifune. Everyone else is an ant on their road."
KANATA: "And even if you give her the benefit of the doubt there, Shioriko still doesn't understand Setsuna for who she is.
Setsuna's worked hard to manage her duties as the Student Council President while also being a school idol."
AKI: "Yeah, that's right, and that's exactly why all the other student council members follow along with the way Setsuna does things."
SETSUNA: "Thank you so much, everyone. However, I can't deny that I have been putting most of my focus into my school idol activities these days."
AKI: "..."
SETSUNA: "Perhaps she figured I wasn't suited to be the Student Council President after seeing me do that."
AKI: "As much as it pains me to say, there is some proof to it all. The other day you were struggling after letting your work pile up.
The P.V shoot made that happen."
AI: "Hmm, that's a sore point to touch on. Things have been in a fluster lately because of the School Idol Festival cancelation.
The P.V wasn't even supposed to happen in the first place."
AKI: "It's like one bad event after another. A domino effect..."
KARIN: "Even so, we can't go and ignore everything else Setsuna's done up to now."
KANATA: "Despite seeing Setsuna as your rival, you sure respect her efforts, Karin. You might say you hate her, but maybe you actually love her!"
KARIN: "Th-That's not true. I was just..."
SETSUNA: "Thank you very much, Karin!"
KARIN: "You've got the wrong idea! Without a formidable rival like you, there's no real competi-"
AI: "Yeah, we get it, Karin loves Setsu. Let's put that aside and focus on the matter at hand, what to do next."
KARIN: "I said you've got it all wrong!"
AYUMU: "It's just like Karin said. It's too cruel to suddenly take away all of the effort Setsuna's put in up until now!
I want Setsuna to give it her all as the Student Council President as well as a school idol, just like she has been."
SHIZUKU: "Yes, I agree!"
EMMA: "For the sake of the School Idol Club as well, we can't afford to lose here!"
SETSUNA: "Girls!"
AKI: "Everyone seems to be on the same page. Not just the girls, but me too. I want you to continue along as the Student Council President. We don't want this club to be taken from us!"
KANATA: "Which means..."
RINA: "Setsuna has to win! Rina-chan Board says, 'Hmph!'"
KASUMI: *Giggle* "I knew it would come to this! That's why I tapped into my grade's intelligence network to find out what kind of person this Mifune is!"
AKI: "I don't think that's neces-"
SHIZUKU: "She's somebody who stands out in our grade. She's the second daughter of the Mifune's, a prestigious Japanese family living off their previous wealthy ventures."
KASUMI: "Hey! I wanted to say that!"
SHIZUKU: "She's calm and academically gifted. Someone achieved good results in their club activities though her advice, so they say that she knows people's strengths and weaknesses.
While there's no denying that she's an incredible person, trying to take the presidency from Setsuna as a first-year student is taking it too far."
AKI: "...Wow."
KASUMI: "That's...what I wanted to say." *Sniff*
SHIZUKU: "Oh, I'm sorry, Kasumi! You can take it from here!"
KASUMI: *Sob* "Apparently, she wears a kimono at home."
AKI: "I already knew that..."
AI: "Aww, you wanted to say what Shizuku said, right? It's okay, Kasukasu! You did a great job with all your research! Good girl, Kasukasu!"
KASUMI: "Don't call me that!"
AKI: "Kasumi, Shizuku, thank you! Nobody can form a strategy without inowing about the enemy first. While I may know a little about Mifune, myself. You've really helped us out!"
KASUMI: *Giggle* "You can keep praising me, you know? You can pat me on the head anytime, you know?"
SHIZUKU: "Here you go!"
KASUMI: "I wasn't talking about you! But...thanks anyway, Shizuko."
AYUMU: "Hmm... The more I learn about her, the more I understand why she's so full of confidence."
AKI: "That's her high and mighty attitude. She has the lineage to back it up, the Mifune's are known for their success. However, you can mistake arrogance as confidence. Shioriko is being way too arrogant about this, thinking she can just walk into Nijigasaki's High School and say she's in charge. Pretty ludicrous if you ask me. Setsuna on the other hand, has all of her past experiences to draw from. She's no amateur, she won't lose to her!"
SETSUNA: "Thank you all so much. I understand now that Mifune is someone who has the skills to hold a position above others and guide them. But that does not mean that I will give up. I will begin preparations to be re-elected and prevent the club from being disbanded."
AKI: "You won't be alone Setsuna."
SETSUNA: "That's right, I have all of you supporting me!"
AKI: "That is true, but I was trying to say that you won't be campaigning alone."
SETSUNA: "Huh?"
AKI: "Let me help you. I may not have the experience of Student Council. But Mifune is right. I'm top of my Modern Japanese Society and Politics classes. The Suzuki genetics don't lie."
SETSUNA: "Chief... Thank you!"
AKI: "With your knowledge of Student Council, and my knowledge of politics. I think we can shape a fine campaign for you."
SETSUNA: "Let's do this!"
