0:00garner support. You're suggesting0:01if they know who I really am, they might0:04just see how hard I've been working for them?0:05Quick on the uptake as always.0:09But0:09whatcha doing with the spoon?0:13What should I do with the spoon?0:22Oh! Right!0:24Too late for me to order some food?0:26No, of course not.0:30Thank you for waiting.0:33And here, the spoon you asked for.0:36Alright, I hope you enjoy.0:38You didn't have to get me a new one.0:40It's more for my benefit than yours.0:42You're flustered over something so small.0:45You're even more childish than I would have thought.0:47And here I'd assumed you were used to some female company.0:50I was just surprised that you were able to share your spoon with a guy so casually you didn't even bat an eye over it.0:55Is there an indirect kissing epidemic in Russia that we should know about?1:00Oh, I'd only do this with you, asshole.1:30Put simply, it's an excuse to introduce the new members of student council and hear their policy.1:35I doubt I need to explain to you how important that is.1:38Then what should I say when it's my turn to deliver a speech?1:42Say whatever comes to your mind.1:44If you really want the audience to like you, authenticity is a must.1:48Yeah, great. Don't you have advice on how to make people like me?1:51I don't think you need any advice. The way you act every day is more than enough to captivate anyone you meet.1:56Uh... Oh, yeah?2:00Well, how exactly?2:02You're welcome.2:30Fools like that ramen we had I Wouldn mind trying a little bite2:45Make her no pain bro.

Thank you.3:23You good?3:25You're right.3:55without anyone else.3:56So I don't think it matters that much who she chooses.3:59She'll probably pick someone who's familiar4:01with how student council works.4:04That'd be bad.4:06Imagine if she got Tanayama.4:07She'd be trouble for us.4:09Oh yeah? Who's that?4:11First name Sayaka?4:12Back in middle school, she only narrowly lost out4:15to the two of us in the presidential election.4:17Know her?4:18Can't say that I do.4:20I wonder.4:22Most people would have given up on becoming president.4:25Did she?4:27You okay?4:28Yeah.4:29Well, won't have to wait long to find out.4:32She'll have to announce soon.4:38Your attention, please.4:40I'd like to introduce you to someone.4:42Iano?4:47What's wrong?4:51It's an honor to meet you.4:52Hello.4:53I Ayano Kimishima and I in class 1C Beginning now I be part of the student council I intend to serve my office proudly as a part of general affairs I look forward to working with each of you5:07And Masachika, I especially look forward to working with you as part of a team.5:13How lovely.5:18Not a chance. She just asked me to call her that.5:21I'll have you know I've never even looked at her that way.5:25The prostitutes get seen.5:33You think this befits your office?5:35Should a student council member be bringing something like that to school?5:38No, but...5:40Takashi was the one who brought this with him today.5:43I swear.5:44Then reprimand him.5:46Right.5:53Okay, moving on.5:54You ever thought about what it would be like to go out with Suho?5:57Not happening. Couldn't be further from my type.6:00How so?6:01How can I put this?6:03Forget it.6:04I just want a girlfriend who I can also see as my best friend before all that other stuff.6:08You good, man? You're red.6:15I'm not!6:18Another thing. Her smile.6:21It's gotta be cute enough she can light up a whole room.6:24It would suck to date a girl with cold eyes.6:28How can you deal with distance like that?6:31And who wouldn't want someone cheerful to help them through the day?6:36We need to watch what we talk about.6:38I think we're upsetting Alia.6:40Huh?6:41I don't care. I have my friends.6:44Nothing.6:46Let's hype her up for a little bit now.6:48I got this, my bro.6:50Nah, bros!6:51If she's as pretty as Alia, her personality could suck for all I care.6:55Not helping, bro!6:57Oh? Well, that's good to know.7:00Lovely to hear your thoughts.7:02And it's such a relief.7:03I'm so glad my appearance can make up for my insufferable personality.7:07Hey, calm down. We're not saying that.7:10I'll be taking this.7:12Goodbye.7:18Come in.7:20As you wish.7:21I raise Count me out I fold7:35Oh no, already?7:37I was only trying to bluff through the round.7:39Had to think I didn't even have a pair in my hand.7:42Looks like she got you, Alia.7:44But it was a good effort anyway.7:46Anyone would have a tricky time playing against Suo like this.7:57Poker is a battle of wits, and Yuki's a seasoned general.8:00Yeah, I'm sure that's part of it, but also, I feel like Alia can be too easy to read.8:06Hey, Serashina? The rest of us were keeping that thought to ourselves.8:09Oh, uh, sorry about that.8:11It seems to me little Kujo doesn't have much of a poker face.8:17I had kind of assumed she'd be better at keeping her emotions concealed.8:21On the contrary, it looks like her older sister's the one who's tough to get a lock on.8:25Yeah, agreed.8:28I feel the same way. I can never tell what's going on in her head.8:32But she's such a sweet girl, almost comically nice at times.8:35Every once in a while, though, she'll do something strange I don't understand.8:39Definitely has a unique air to her.9:09Hundred percent9:12She's having fun9:14Yeah, sure9:17Well looks like we need to get a bit more give me just a minute and I'll track some down9:21I would gladly take care of this don't you worry about it as the heroine of today's show you should relax9:28It's a welcome party and the guests of honor are none other than you and me9:32I suppose that would make you the heroine of today. He's got that right and9:36And brave hero, would you escort me on my task?9:39I'm not exempt!9:44We're heading to the vending machines, whatcha want?9:46I'll have a cafe au lait if you wouldn't mind.9:48Oh, the brown one and not the white one, please.9:51I'll take an Ushiroko.9:53Do you mind grabbing me a cider?9:55One cola, no actually, let's make it a ginger ale!9:57I will be fine just sticking to water.10:00Let me think. How about a lemon tea?10:03I don't know why you're bothering to tell me that. You're coming too.10:06Ah! Whoopsies.10:08Alright. One cider, one ginger ale, and one lemon tea.10:12The brown cafe au lait, oshiruko, and a water. Copy that.10:16Huh?10:20To this day, she's the hardest working person I know.10:23Never leaves anything on the table.10:26I've always loved that about her.10:28How could a big sister not be proud?10:49In that case, you're playing the role of her cheerful half?10:54I wouldn't say that I'm playing anything.10:56I just feel like working so hard all the time must get exhausting.11:01Everyone needs to relax sometimes.11:04Though, I can't deny I tend to soften up my rules and expectations when my baby sister is involved.11:14I worry about her. She seems isolated.11:20Sisters are complicated, though I guess that could be said of any kind of sibling.11:24There might never be someone I'm as close to as her, but because of that, it's easy to compare ourselves to each other.11:32Yeah, I'm all too aware of that.11:36It's true that I don't feel inferior to Yuki these days, but that's only because she so openly demonstrates her feelings of love and admiration.11:46Maybe it's nothing but an act to try and make me feel better.11:50Could she be faking the whole stupid otaku thing?11:52Nah, she's a gremlin through and through11:56If I might say, you're a pretty stellar big sister12:00Aren't I? The title's important to me12:03I gotta be my best for Alia12:05Are you Elisa Kujo?12:15I know this is sudden12:17I'm Sayaka Tanayama from Class F12:20Sorry12:21but do you have a moment to talk?12:26Taniyama huh Hold on isn that the girl who ran against Yuki in the middle school elections So Kujo is it true I heard you running with Masachika Kuzi in her upcoming presidential elections12:38Yes, and?12:42I would have expected someone with your reputation to have class. Don't you have the slightest sense of shame?12:48Suo already had her eyes set on Kuzi as her vice president, and you knowingly stole him. Were you trying to spite her?12:54Wait, what? What are you implying that I did?12:58Do you think I'm that underhanded that I would do something behind her back to get his support?13:02Am I wrong?13:03I don't know how you did it and I don't really care.13:07You made the choice to take that lazy bum as your running mate.13:10I can't imagine why else you'd do that if not to spite Suo.13:13Are you kidding me?13:14Oh yeah, Taniyama?13:19Everything okay?13:20Why don't you ask her? She seems to think I'm up to something.13:23She claimed I pulled some shady crap to steal away Yuki's running mate.13:26Wait, seriously?13:28Can we talk about this?13:30I don't know what you heard or who you heard it from,13:33but the reason I'm running with Alya instead of Yuki is because I want to.13:36That seems fairly improbable.13:39You've been going through the motions for so long.13:41What could have given you enough motivation to team up with this transfer student?13:45So I'm going through the motions?13:47Yeah, I guess that's fair to say.13:50Either way, Yuki didn't have any qualms with my choice,13:53so whatever you think happens didn't.13:55If you said something inappropriate to Alia, I'd ask you to apologize.14:01Ah, now I can see what we're dealing with here.14:04You were the one in the wrong after all.14:11Kuze, I hereby challenge you to debate in Student Congress.14:16No way! You're saying in Student Congress?14:20What's happening?14:21One candidate challenged another to a congress!14:24Slow down there, Taniyama. Come on. Are you joking?14:27I'd never joke about something as serious as this.14:30You're a blot on the school's reputation, and you shouldn't be in the running.14:34Scratch that. You shouldn't be on the student council at all.14:37Hold it right there.14:39My understanding is that a student congress impacts candidates' campaigns.14:43Assuming that's the case, attacking him means you're attacking me.14:46Stay out of this. Why should I care about a puppet whose only platform is their above average grades?14:51Kuse and I are a team in this election If you as another candidate think you allowed to just waltz in here and slander my running mate you have to go through me first I was trying to spare you the embarrassment of defeat15:06So be it. I'll take down both of you at the same time.15:10Only those who deserve office should run.15:13And neither of you do.15:19What an odd topic for Student Congress.15:22Introducing teacher screenings for student council entry is out of the blue.15:26Not so random when you consider her opponent.15:28I don't have the best reputation among teachers.15:31Are you really going to participate?15:33Win or lose, I don't see any way you two benefit from this.15:36We have a good reason.15:38If we can win the debate, our candidacy gains legitimacy in the public eye.15:42Also, I will not let her get away with insulting Kuze and me.15:46I need her to apologize, and to take back what she said to both of us.15:50Think she will?15:52Hey, there's a silver lining here.15:55It's a chance to introduce ourselves and our candidacy ahead of the closing ceremony.15:59At least there's some good to take from it, I suppose.16:02Fine. We'll make a public announcement by the end of day.16:06Pardon me, but I'd be happy to draft that announcement.16:09Thanks, Sewell. Feel free.16:11And best of luck, both of you. We're cheering you on!16:15Thanks, Yuki.16:16Yeah.16:20All right. Going off everything I know about her, I would expect Tanayama's argument to look like this.16:28Interesting.16:29And what would you say to counter that? You should have a response prepared.16:36Yeah, this is some good stuff. Though you could stand to be more concise in how you're phrasing it.16:41Hey, can I ask you? You know her. Why is she like this?16:46Are you on bad terms?16:48Uh, I'd like to think not, at least.16:52I feel like there was always an air of mutual respect when we worked together in middle school.16:57Sure, but if you two always got along, why would she say what she said to us?17:02I wish I could tell you, though to make an educated guess,17:05I would assume she thinks I entered the election just to stir up a little trouble.17:10If that's the case, how'd she get such a negative impression of you to begin with?17:14well everyone expected me to enter the running with yuki but i decided against working with17:21everyone favorite to win and wound up agreeing to partner with someone else instead who could blame her for doubting my motives after that But that would mean They were fine until I came into the picture17:36It's because we teamed up.17:39It's my fault.17:42What's that? You good?17:46Don't worry. I will make sure we win tomorrow.17:49Yeah. I know.17:55I'm sorry.18:25Well, who cares?18:27And my name is Alisa Kujo. I look forward to a good debate.18:30Got your head in the game. Gotta love that attitude.18:33You and Zaya could totally be besties.18:38That girl is Tanayama's partner?18:40Yep. They're childhood friends.18:42Polar opposites, as you can see, but they balance each other out.18:46No kidding.18:48Miyama is one of the most popular girls in school.18:50She may seem like a strange choice, but there aren't many people as well-connected as her.18:55I see. That is a powerful asset.18:58That isn't something we should worry about today, though.19:01For now, we need to keep our targets locked on Tanayama.19:04Good point. Let's focus.19:09What do you think of the debated topic?19:11I don't really care.19:13But isn't that Tanayama person the one who went up against our queen back when we were in middle school?19:17So if the other one's a transfer?19:19Yeah. Only thing I've heard about her is she has good grades.19:28Can I really do this?19:31Don't they just ignore me like the sports teams before?19:36No, forget that.19:38I'm also doing this for Kuze, for my running mate.19:43I think she can make it through his beach.19:46Tanayama's gonna run away with this.19:49Yes.19:51Oh, yeah.19:53Oh, yeah.19:55Oh, sorry.19:56Yo.19:58Tell me, are you really an E-cup?20:00Uh...20:02What?20:04Huh? Is this really the time to be asking something so inappropriate?20:07It's the best chance I'll ever have, when you think about it.20:10Right? You can't hit me.20:12Literally, go die.20:13Ah, remembered I'm human garbage.20:16Hopefully that calmed your nerves.20:19Hm?20:20Alya, who's your opponent today?20:23Tanayama, right?20:24Not quite. You're debating her, but you're really up against your own head.20:30Remember, perfection is the enemy of progress, so just go up there and say whatever you think sounds cool.20:36And for what it's worth, I've got your back if things don't work out quite as well as we planned.20:43It's about time we got started. We will now commence the Student Congress.20:50The motion is proposed by Sayaka Tanayama and Ninoa Miyamai.20:54Opposed is Elisa Kujo alongside Masachika Kuzi.20:58For the topic, should we introduce teacher screenings for entry into student council?21:04Now, proposer, state your case.21:06Right.21:13In theory, when selecting members of the council, the president and vice president should be carefully choosing their officers.21:21In practice, this isn't the case, and they wind up accepting any entrance no matter their qualifications or lack thereof.21:28When asked, former student council members confirmed this detail.21:32They're no prereqs?21:33Guess not.21:34Seriously? She was able to collect data directly from school alumni?21:39No. It makes more sense if me and I took care of that.21:43So today, I posit that student council would better serve its people if comprised only of a chosen few.21:49And I have no doubt each of you would agree.21:52The moment they assume their office as a member of the council, they stand above you in hierarchy, no matter how poor their performance.22:01Are you okay with that?22:04That's a clever move she pulled. Individual students wouldn't care until she words it from their point of view.22:10To fight this, I propose requiring teacher approval.22:14With this system, only those approved by staff could lead, and we would enjoy a council consisting of the best and brightest among our ranks.22:23With more exclusivity the students of our school may rest easy and ensure leaders have earned their respect So my friends I ask you for your support Thank you That is all I have to say22:42Opposition, you may now proceed with your rebuttal.22:45Right.22:47You think she can turn it around?22:49Not a chance. Tanayama's already won.22:51Let's at least hear what the Ice Princess has to say.22:55Should be interesting.23:00I know what he said, but what do I think sounds cool?23:07Yeah, something like that.23:10I'm your current Student Council Treasurer, otherwise known as Elisa Kujo, and I represent the Student Council, in opposition to this motion.23:19If we are to believe, Miss Tanayama, then teacher screenings are a necessary step to ensure student council officers earned your respect.23:31But I argue, would that not do the opposite?23:34Wouldn't it infringe on the student council's authority?23:37After all, should this motion succeed, it would directly remove power from us students by disallowing the president and vice president the right to select their officers.23:46between all of the positions in the council,23:49those two hold the highest authority and most deserve your respect,23:53because unlike the others, they are chosen by popular vote.23:57And thus do those who lead us rise,23:59forged in the flames of a competitive election,24:02and thus are they granted several privileges by the academy.24:06And perhaps the most important privilege of all24:08is the right to nominate their own officers.24:11Should that rule fall, the effect would reach wide,24:14as we would take our power and put it in the staff's hands.24:18I offer, if we were to surrender that authority into the jurisdiction of teachers,24:23it would be tantamount to saying that our student council cannot stand on its own.24:27At our academy, we've always taken pride in our autonomy.24:32And for that reason, great power has been granted to the students through the council.24:37If all of its officers had to be approved by the staff,24:40what do you think happens to that autonomy we've held onto for so long?24:43We would lose all authority without the chance to have final say.24:48The president and vice president would be unable to recruit members they trust.24:52Furthermore should a teacher present someone to the council under their recommendation they could not be refused Nice She staying composed up there Perfect Both Tanayama and Alya arguments are good And both have their flaws25:06Seems like the students are split.25:09Think what you want.25:11But I didn't tell her to say any of this.25:13Every word came from Alya.25:16I thank you.25:17This concludes my argument.25:20With that, we may now commence with the debate.25:23Sir.25:25Please.25:27You failed to address the matter of discernment.25:29As I mentioned, no volunteer to the council has been turned down in the past three years.25:34And no problems have emerged from that fact.25:37I failed to see where you take issue with it.25:39If we're to ensure continued quality, then introducing teacher screenings will be the way forward.25:44Should any need arise, the president and vice president have the authority to make that call.25:49There would be no shame in accepting their shortcomings if they were to ask the teachers for help.25:54but that should be their choice to make.25:56It is an option, but not something that should be forced upon them.26:00You're gonna lose today, because you mistook who you were really up against.26:04You've been too busy chasing my shadow this whole time, but Alia's your opponent.26:10So then, what's your move?26:14I ask, what would the student body do if those in charge abused their power?26:19To begin...26:19Who is this girl? Isn't she an outsider?26:22What would a transfer student know about our academy's ways?26:27Tanayama's the obvious winner here.26:29Yeah, real classy dude.26:32You have plans?26:34Uh, I want an answer.26:38Wait, what's the question?26:41Quickly, say something. Anything.26:43But, what?26:52You've done great so far. Let me handle this one.27:04Pardon me. I'll be tagging in from here. My partner could use a moment to rest her vocal cords.27:09I guess that's what you get for being so quiet in class all the time.27:13Like, honestly, this is the most any of them have heard you talk all year.27:16What do you say?27:19Let's try to finish this up quickly so we can let her off the hook, and the rest of us27:23can get back to something more fun Here a question for you Why are we even debating this i believe all of you already made up your minds a while back after all you elected president kenzuki no you know he used to be a27:39slacker before his candidacy barely anyone could have even picked him out of a crowd let's not mince27:45any words here he was the kind of dweeb who wouldn't be able to get the teacher's attention27:49let alone their recommendation.27:53But now, we can see that our press put in some hard work.27:56All of his grades went up, he got way stronger,27:59and each of us got a front row seat to his metamorphosis into a worthy class president.28:03Didn't you vote for him because you wanted to see what the next chapter of his success story was?28:09Now we have the ever-capable Kinzuki as our president.28:12And all that happened,28:13because our system allows for anyone with enough drive and passion to become a student council officer.28:19So I ask you all again, what are we doing pretending like this is a debate?28:28Alright then, while I admit I wasn't prepared for the sudden bullying from my junior member,28:33I believe we can move on to closing statements assuming neither side has further questions.28:37Is that acceptable to everyone?28:43Sire!28:45You too?28:49Okay, they win, we lose. Bye.28:55Um, is that your official statement?28:58Then am I safe to interpret this as the proposing side withdrawing their motion?29:02Sure, fine by me.29:04Sorry for this big mess my girly Sia made for you all.29:10The motion is withdrawn with no closing statement.29:13That will conclude this student Congress.29:19What do you say, Masachika? Would you close us out?29:23Yes. I'm on it, Yuki.29:26When I saw those two together, I thought I'd seen the perfect duo.29:32They trusted wholly that the other had their back through anything.29:36In that moment, I believed their bond so strong it was insurmountable.29:40So I never had a chance at beating them in the first place.29:45That helped me accept my defeat, though it did make me jealous.29:49And then...29:51I saw them...29:54Together...29:56I felt so betrayed...30:00Hold on30:06Tell me why30:13Why did it have to be you30:15I'd already made my peace with losing to Kuze and Suo30:18But then you came30:19And ruined the bond they had30:21I accepted it30:23Because they were so close30:25So why30:28Go ahead, say whatever you need to say30:36I accept it all30:38You're so nice, but I don't have the right to speak like this30:42I feel like such an idiot right now30:45They're larger than life, in my mind30:49So when I saw the two of them fell apart, I blamed you30:53But in reality, the people I lost you weren't actually that special, so...31:03Found you!31:05Aw, look who needed a breather.31:07Just let it all out, girl.31:09Hey, I'm really sorry, Kujo.31:12She'll be okay, so let me handle things from here.31:15Are you sure?31:16We're good, we're good.31:17Please?31:19My turn.31:23Tanayama, even I don't know why Kuze chose to run with me instead.31:27Honestly, I was more shocked than anyone else.31:30But I promise you, I will see to it that his faith in me is justified.31:34I believe he was right, and I intend to work hard, so you'll believe it as well.31:40That's all.31:44She may seem tough, but she's actually got a heart of gold.31:48I would expect no less.31:49Because after all, Kuze chose her.31:52However, when you've calmed down, you might want to give Kuz Kuz and her an apology. I'll go with you, of course.31:59Huh! My brother is so soft at heart.32:06If he had wanted to end this charade, he could have done so far earlier than he had elected to.32:12But who cares? If this is all they've got, they are still nothing before my might.32:17If they're too kind, they will fall to someone who's ready to kill. Are you with me?32:23Do you think so From what I saw of Master and Miss Kujo They seem to put on a fine performance Ayano Yes WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT WHAT WE DOING UP HERE32:36You and I should simply ooze confidence, like we're a couple weirdo creeps who push their dark-dipted glasses up their nose before laughing at our enemies!32:43How can you be my running mate if you don't even know how to give off Final Boss vibes?!32:47Ah! I apologize, mistress. My ignorance now has let you down.32:51Like, come on, get your freaking act together.32:55Why do you think I agreed to handle sound and lighting for the debate even though it gets so hot up here?33:03If it would not offend, may I ask for clarification?33:07Spit it out.33:08You insist that we should give off final boss vibes, but is that not the trait of characters who always wind up losing to heroes in the end?33:15Also, I am aware I have relayed the rules, but food and drink are not permitted in here.33:24Ah, you know, it's time to go home.33:27Yes, mistress.33:31I spoke to her afterwards.33:33She said you and Yuki seemed larger than life together.33:36Your bond was special, and that's what helped her accept her defeat.33:40That's so.33:42Us two. Just watch.33:44Huh?33:45She'll see that our bond is just as powerful as the one she knew. We'll seem larger than life, too.33:51I'll work hard, and prove you were right to choose me.33:54You'll give it your all, and I'll give it mine.33:59Hey, can I ask you something?34:01Hmm.34:02Why are you running with me? You would have been tough to beat with Yuki, so why?34:09Back in middle school, I never actually wanted to run with Yuki.34:12If I'm being honest, I just didn't want to let her down.34:16Part of it was genuinely wanting to support her, not hard to cheer her on.34:21But much more than that, I think I was being driven by my sense of guilt.34:25Why did you feel so guilty?34:33It's a long story, but that's probably why I felt trapped back then.34:37Compared to everyone else around me, I didn't have any hopes or dreams that were making me excited to keep going.34:44That sense of guilt felt like the only reason I'd bother waking up some days, so I was a pathetic mess who kept putting himself down.34:51They thought I was some mastermind pulling the strings in the shadows but that not why I hid I was just always so desperate to avoid the spotlight But now things are different35:05I decided to run for vice president because I truly wanted to.35:09Because of you.35:16So don't worry. It's not like I'm making a comparison to you, Ki.35:21It's more like...35:22Well, I've said just enough.35:23I think you understand.35:26Do I now? That seemed like a good chance.35:28I was hoping you'd put it in words there.35:30Shut up. I see that grin.35:33I'm done here.35:35Your turn. What's your answer?35:37To what?35:38Same thing you asked. Why are you running with me?35:41Oh, and here I figured you already knew.35:44Huh?35:46Because you're you.35:51You mind translating?35:52Let's go. It's getting late.36:05Yes, ma'am.36:07By the way, Kuze, why'd you ask the other thing?36:10What thing?36:12That stuff about my chest size, remember?36:15Oh, just trying to lighten the mood.36:18A girl I know had suggested something to that effect, size-wise.36:22Uh, she said it looks like you were probably around any cup, as a guess?36:27Almost right.36:52Good morning, Aya.36:55Morning, Kusei.36:57So, we're back to our cold shoulder greetings, I see.37:01You know, these guys would love to hear all about your plans for the debate last week.37:06What?37:07Gentlemen, I'm certain she can answer your queries.37:10I must away. My gacha waifus need me.37:16Hmm?37:19I have one.37:20Did you write that entire speech yourself or did Masa Chika help out?37:24Uh no He helped me prep but he didn write any of the words Wow that impressive I was shocked You such a great orator Oh well thank you37:36Was staying quiet during the Q&A part of the strategy?37:40It was. We decided asking fewer questions was the best move.37:44So, what about Kuzei taking over near the end?37:46Honestly, that was improvised on his part.37:50I still can't believe Tanayama straight up ran after such a strong opener.37:53Especially considering that she's the one who started it. What a loser!37:59Hey, Kusei. Do you mind?38:03Oh, I just remembered. We have some student council stuff to do.38:08Sorry, we can talk more later.38:11Well, what's up?38:14It seems like listening to Tanayama getting ridiculed rubbed you the wrong way.38:18Of course. How could it not?38:20I understand, because we both know the reason she did what she did.38:23But still, we played 100% fair and managed to come out the other end on top.38:30There's no reason we should feel guilty over what they're saying about her, don't you think?38:34I get what you mean.38:36But we didn't really beat them.38:38They gave up.38:40Then what are you planning to do?38:42Let's pretend we do something that reframes her loss in a better light.38:45What about us?38:46Weren't we trying to look better than them in the first place?38:50You think I don't know?38:51Well, that's what I would say if I were putting our interests first. But, like, who cares? Do what you think is best. That's all that really matters.39:03In that case, I think we should try to help Tanayama. Of course, that means...39:08Yep, I know. So let's do it.39:12You're certain?39:13Yeah, sure. The worst thing we could do is act like nothing's wrong, then send you off to the closing ceremony with this dragging you down.39:20Then I apologize. This will make more work for you.39:24Don't worry about it. Like I said, the highs and lows.39:29Yeah, right.39:35Ah, dropping eaves.39:37You're taking up too much space.39:39Yeah, bigger than you.39:41They're in a classic rom-com scene.39:43Well, as a good side character, I'll wait for the right moment and leave as if I saw nothing.39:50Hmm? Hmm?39:52Holy mother of rom-coms.39:54Is my own scene starting here too?39:58Oh no. Conundrum!40:00Looks like I can't let them have their moment. There's no time!40:03We're on a crash course with disaster and I need to send us anywhere on!40:10So, how long do the esteemed leaders of our student council intend to hide back there?40:19Sorry about that. We wanted to come out earlier but missed our chance.40:23We were looking for something we dropped and thought it would be rude to interrupt such an intense chat.40:28Yeah, right. What do you say we all pretend neither party saw the other do anything and go about our day?40:33Uh, yeah. Good idea! Let's do that. Glad we have an agreement. Let's go, Aya!40:44Oh! Uh, I remembered. I, uh, I have something else I have to do today!40:52There's something wrong with the two of you.40:54Kuzai? You in here?40:58Oh.41:00Hold the phone.41:03Whatever you think is going on here, I promise you it's not.41:06What do you mean?41:07What should I think is happening?41:09I only see three childhood friends hanging out with each other.41:12Well, anyway. Carry on.41:14Oh, hey.41:15Oh, yeah.41:16It's just something.41:17I don't know.41:18I don't know.41:21Bummer, bro.41:22I've seen that face before.41:24I made lunch for Kuzei to repay him for helping me in the debate,41:27But where is he? I've looked everywhere!41:29Yeah, she must have been disappointed catching you alone with two other girls.41:33Really sick of getting peppered with your wee-boo cliches!41:38For real, Yuki Aino and me meeting in that room was nothing but a coincidence.41:42Sure...41:44Not gonna sell you on that one, huh?41:46It's alright, you don't need an excuse to talk to them.41:49I'm glad you have a couple of old friends you're so close to.41:52Ugh...41:53Well, all that aside, how do you feel about studying with me after we get off school?41:59Uh, you wanna go study?42:01That one felt meaner than usual.42:10Um, Alia?42:11What's up?42:13Any reason you're sitting as close as you are?42:15Is there a problem with me being here?42:17Well, no.42:18Hey, I guess it's fine as long as no one sees!42:23Oh my it appears I should have knocked Am I intruding AHHHHH SISTER Are the two of you preparing for exams If you don mind Ayano and I would love to study by your side42:37YANA.42:38Alya, you don't mind if they join us, do you?42:42No, the more the merrier.42:43What reason is there to refuse?42:45All right.42:46We appreciate it.42:50I'm gonna die!42:51Quit being so adorable!.42:55So are you just looking at solutions without practicing the problems?43:03Do you think you can get ready for tests like that?43:06Why should I try learning these complicated systems I'll never use again after this?43:10I'd rather just memorize all the solutions so I can spin them back out as they become relevant.43:14But you'll never learn how to put theory into practice.43:17Don't worry about him. This kind of studying is nothing new for Masachika.43:21Right, Ayanum?43:22That's correct. He is nothing if not consistent in his means of preparation.43:30Ayano, looks like there's something you're confused about.43:33Oh, I'm fine. Rather, I'm a bit lost.43:38May I?43:39No, I would never dare to sully your ears with my own incompetence.43:43Don't give me that. You know I won't make fun of you or anything.43:47Please. I would prefer if you berate me and say I do not deserve to breathe in the same air as you.43:51Not enabling this behavior.43:54Uh, what a shame.43:56Hold up, why are you disappointed?43:58Hey, not being weird, are you really just childhood friends?44:03Uh, yeah? Why ask?44:05I'm not doubting, it's just, you all seem unusually close, even judging by those standards.44:13Afternoon! How are we today?44:15Pfft44:19Ugh, yeah, nothing better than Masha's tea to help us relax44:22Hmm? What's this?44:24Oh, that? Sedashina apparently confiscated it from someone the other day44:29Ooh44:30Hey, Alia, try it on me44:33No way44:34What? But why not?44:36I've always wanted to be hypnotized and I've never had the chance44:39Why don't you want to try?44:42I keep asking, but the answer won't change44:43Then it falls to you, Kuze!44:46Oh, does it now?44:48Oh yeah, I need you since Aulia's being a meanie.44:51Sure, if you insist.44:54So it starts with induction Hell yeah Okay First focus your attention onto my finger That it Apparently I focused up45:09Now listen to my voice as you slowly fall under my spell.45:13Stay focused.45:14Don't let your eyes wander.45:16Relax as you feel yourself slipping bit by bit into the realm of dreams.45:20In a few moments, you'll hear me clap my hands.45:23And after I do, you'll lose all consciousness.45:27Three, two, one, go!45:31Wait, you good?45:33Are you feeling okay?45:34Did you really get hypnotized like the book said you would?45:37Haha, but we all know you're just trying to prank us.45:41Uh, right?45:43Hold on, one sec, there's something to undo the spell.45:46Let's see.45:48And now, when I touch your shoulder, you'll awaken as if it never happened.45:51One, two, three.45:58What's wrong? Why'd you stop halfway through?46:02Huh?46:02Huh? You told me you'd clap your hands and then you left me waiting there.46:06Wait, what? So, you really were out?46:09Huh? What do you mean?46:11Right. Don't you think this joke's already gone on long enough?46:14Alia, if you still doubt whether it was real, why not let Masa Chika hypnotize you?46:19Say what?46:20It will work or it won't, but either way, you'll know the truth.46:26Alright, go ahead.46:28Are you positive?46:29Just do it. We are not letting this farce go on another minute.46:33Okay, focus your eyes on my finger, just like before.46:38She's out like a light.46:40Yeah, no one's surprised about that.46:42But could you explain how Masha managed to get hypnotized again?46:45Beats me.46:46This is it, bro! Booby-booty-grabby-grabby-finger-all!46:49Keep that in your head!46:51Time for a taco improv, my fellow pervs!46:54Today, if you hypnotize two smoking hotties, what should be the first command you should give to your new toy?46:59Mental age regression!47:00Make them totally unrestrained and take out their clothes!47:03Oh, um, perhaps we make them reveal their most intimate secrets to us?47:08Is that sufficiently degrading?47:10You couldn't be more specific than making them unrestrained?47:13Yeah, well, your answer was just depraved.47:15As for Ieno, almost there, but you're lacking the impact we're looking for.47:21Now let's think.47:22Making them unrestrained is definitely the best choice out of the options we presented with They might even reveal their most intimate secrets in that state Your answer encompasses my own and more I submit mister There That called democracy baby47:38Alia, Masha, you can feel yourselves rapidly becoming more unrestrained.47:43With no inhibition, you'll gladly lay your minds and bodies spare before us all.47:47Yo, what? Is this seriously working?48:02Tell me, Yuki, what did you do, and how is it resulting in headpats?48:10Uh, yeah, I don't know how to explain this one.48:14Don't look away, culprit!48:15I thought Masa Chika would get a harem, but Masha's got more game than a protag whose hair covers up his eyes.48:20Your problem is who got the harem?48:23Here, sweetie.48:25Uh, hey, Masha. I'm feeling ready for you to let go of me now.48:30Uh-uh.48:31Not happening.48:33It's getting hot.48:37Get off.48:38Uh, hold on. Alya?48:40Hey!48:40She looks like an office worker who's cool at work but a huge slob at home!48:53Agreed!48:54Slow down!48:56Why have both of them started stripping like no one else is here?49:01While thinking about it, this might be the expected outcome from telling them to lay49:05their minds and bodies bare before us all.49:07All right then, when I touch your shoulder you'll awaken as if nothing even happens here.49:13One, two, three!49:15Hey, it's not working!49:17Uh, I'll try. When I touch your shoulder you will awaken as if nothing ever happened here.49:23One, two, three!49:25Crap. Bad news, I'm out of ideas.49:29What do we do if someone else shows up while they're still like this?49:32Hey Masha! Yo, I got done a while ago.49:37So what's going on here? Oh, please let me explain. It's simple. So, uh,49:44Remember there was the hypnosis book you confiscated we tried doing it, but we can't wake them up49:50Yeah49:52Sorry in advance girls49:58Whoa, whoa, whoa50:00No, wait! What was that?!50:02What? I reset them.50:09Hold on, I wasn't on the couch a couple seconds ago.50:12Me neither.50:13Well, uh, I can perfectly understand your confusion right now, but you should both get dressed before we talk anymore.50:21But we are dressed, aren't we?50:24AHHHHHH!50:24AHHHHHH!50:26AHHHHHHHHH!50:28Hey, how did this happen?50:30Oh look at me!50:31Question, Kuze.50:33Did you see anything?50:34Nuh uh.50:37Ready to... reset?50:39Nuh uh uh uh uh uh uh.50:44Hey, you okay?50:46Good evening.50:48How are you?50:49Uh, I'm good.50:51Are you okay?50:52I'm fine.50:54Just felt like calling50:56What is this? Did my running mate miss the sound of my voice so badly?51:01Yeah51:04Wait, what was that?51:06Nothing51:07So what's up?51:09I don't know51:10Didn't you say you slack off too much when you're alone?51:13I wanted to make sure you were actually studying like you said you would51:16No, Dice. I couldn't stay motivated to save my life. I don't get how you keep that fire raging for as long as you do51:23You make it sound so tough.51:26I never lose motivation at times like these, so I couldn't tell you.51:29Like, never? That's wild.51:32Here's an idea to help you stay focused. I've got a bet for you.51:36Oh, yeah?51:37Did you make any sort of goal for these exams?51:40I was hoping to place top 30 for a year.51:42Look at Mr. Big Shot.51:44In that case, if you make top 30, I'll do anything you ask.51:48One wish, no matter what it is, I can't say no.51:51Hmm?51:51No matter what, you'll agree.51:54Within reason, obviously.51:56How's that sound?51:57And what happens if I fail?52:00Logically, you'd have to do one thing that I order you.52:03Sounds kind of hot when you put it like that, though.52:05Masa chica.52:06Whoa! Wait!52:07I was not trying to imply I want to be ordered around in a masochistic way!52:12What you mean?52:14Huh?52:14That's all you get.52:16Great! A hint in a language I don't know.52:19That's kind of the point.52:20Anyway, do you accept my offer?52:22Sure, you're on.52:24But you better not start crying once I got you in the palm of my hand Well I looking forward to it Come on you not gonna fire back at me Am I too old for you to play with52:36Your jokes are making less sense with every passing day.52:39We are the same age.52:41Oh, am I misremembering?52:43Isn't your birthday November 7th?52:45Yeah, it is.52:47How do you know that?52:48You mentioned it in your intro when you transferred to our school.52:51Unless I'm going crazy here.52:53So, my birthday was back on April 9th.52:57See? I'm older than you.52:58For now.53:04Anyway, thank you for checking in, Alia. Sleep tight.53:08Yeah, have a good one.53:12She really called me the moment my mind started drifting off my work.53:16What the hell? Don't tell me she can read my thoughts.53:18I called because I got spooked by a horror movie, but it's not like I can tell him that.53:27And what gives? Why did he never tell me his birthday? I would have celebrated with him.53:33We are friends, aren't we?53:38I can't believe him.53:43There we go! Good job getting through exams, Alia.53:47Yeah, we're finally done.53:50Huh?53:51That out of the way.53:53You free?53:53Or do you have plans after school?53:55No, I'm free.53:57What do you say?53:57I thought the two of us could walk home together.54:00I'd like to discuss our plans for the closing ceremony.54:03That's fine.54:07Something's wrong.54:09She hasn't flirted with me in Russian once since our call the other day.54:13Okay.54:14You wanted to talk about closing ceremony speeches, right?54:16We can get to that in a sec, but first, uh, you've been acting strange. Have you felt alright these past few days?54:25I had no idea I was acting so off from my usual self.54:28Don't worry. I don't think anyone else could tell that there was something wrong, but I know you.54:34Oh, wow. So you care enough about our friendship to notice when I'm feeling upset? Even in the middle of exams?54:41Isn't it obvious that I care? You and I are partners, after all.54:45Oh, yeah?54:51Then why is it me Your birthday in April but you never invited me to your party Invited you to what I didn have anything for you to miss I swear55:05How dumb do you think I am, just flat out lying to my face?55:08Huh? Uh... Oh, this must be a Russian thing. Do people generally have a birthday party every year over there?55:15Uh, yeah. Is that not normal here?55:19No clue about everyone else, but I haven't had one since elementary school.55:22Are you serious?55:25Aww, so you're sad because you wanted to hang out with me that badly?55:31I was raised to believe you should celebrate with your friends, so not getting an invite means your friendship is over for at least the next year.55:39Quit awing!55:41Oh, okay, fine. I won't embarrass you anymore.55:45You are such a pain.55:48Now that we're past that, I guess we should celebrate.55:51What?55:52Better late than never, wouldn't you say?55:54I would like to stay friends for the next year.55:57Yeah, a belated birthday bash.56:00Has a nice ring to it if I do say so myself.56:02And only you're invited.56:05Whatever, nerd.56:16Were you waiting?56:21Afternoon.56:24The End56:54Nah, though I'm not used to this many eyes on me.56:58You have to pretend like they're not there. This always happens when I go out.57:01Guess you have to deal with strangers hitting on you all the time, huh?57:04Well, yeah. Usually on weekends when I'm not in my uniform.57:07About what I'd expect. So how do you get rid of them?57:11I ramble and rush until they leave. A few words are usually enough to get them off my back.57:16I'm glad that works. For everyone's sake. I was scared imagining Alya getting violent with randos.57:22I hate it when I can tell you thinking of something unflattering Fret not m I just glad you not letting sleazy pickup artists sweep you off your feet Oh my Would you have been jealous What are you now my boyfriend If the shoe fits57:35Since it's a date,57:37I figured a little boyfriend talk57:38would be perfectly warranted.57:40Oh, yeah.57:42Date, huh?57:43I guess.57:46Muy pierre.57:47Should that be our first?57:49As in it's the first date you've been on with me?57:51I mean, there's no way a babe like you57:54has literally never gone on a date with anyone before right this one yep dinner can rack up quite58:02a bill here but at lunchtime you aren't able to order the expensive meats like venison look at me58:07thinking ahead like that you know i've been meaning to come back to this place i tried it58:12with my family a while ago i remember the venison was simply delicious you don't say58:19To start things off, I'll give you a rundown of how the closing ceremony tends to play out.58:28Sure.58:29First, each presidential candidate explains their policies and the reasons they're running.58:34After that, their running mates are up, and they have to bring it home by explaining to the students why they've chosen to back their respective candidate.58:42Now, here's the important thing about this.58:45After the speeches are done, there won't be any polling, but there is something like it.58:50Oh?58:50The audience reaction tells you how you did.58:53And unfortunately, each person only applauds whichever pair they want to win.58:58In that case, less popular candidates could be met with a deafening silence, correct?59:03That's right.59:04Jeez.59:06To be perfectly frank, there's very little chance we get a reaction that even comes close to rivaling Yuki.59:11That in mind, our real objective is to ensure the gap isn't huge. No need to come out on top.59:17Not the most aggressive plan, huh?59:20It's realistic, and right now, I'd rather acknowledge where we stand than pretend we're better off.59:25Fair enough. I got it.59:28Ideally, we should aim to make our speeches before Yuki.59:31The first pair usually gets a muted response since the crowd needs some time to decide.59:35That gives us a perfect excuse, even if we do get shown up.59:38Please don't look at me like that.59:41Come on, we do have some better options, but they get a little uncouth.59:45How so?59:47We could mess with Yuki and Aino to try to get them off of their game, but I can't imagine59:52you'd be okay with dirty tactics like those.59:54I'm not.59:55It would be a different situation if they threw the first punch, but not even they would60:00be willing to take such drastic measures. Not like they're me, am I?60:03What does that mean?60:05Here we are!60:10Well, uh, anyway, cheers to me completing another year around the sun! Let's go!60:17Cheers.60:25This is fantastic.60:27I agree.60:28So... there's a rumor about Miyamai going around. Was that you?60:34Uhhh...60:35She found out I had you all as plants in the crowd and got pissed at you's dirty tactics.60:40Might be.60:41Nah. I could never dig a hole for Miyamai half as deep as the one that she made herself.60:47Oh, really?60:48It made everyone's shit talk about Tanayama come to a screeching halt, but it also called the legitimacy of our win into question.60:56Hmm...60:58Apologies. I'm sure there was some better way we could have handled it.61:02No, it's okay. I didn't do anything to help fix the problem.61:06I didn't even know where to start. I have no right to complain about how the cards fell from there.61:12But anyway, thank you for what you did. It means a lot to me that you helped Tanayama out.61:19Hey! No big deal!61:21Aww, look at you. Is that a blush-eye spy?61:24Shut up.61:26You're such a cutie.61:28Oh! She's not even bothering to hide it in Russian anymore!61:32Here. My way of saying thanks.61:35Uh...61:36Oh boy, looks like someone's overconfident.61:41She only gets this aggressive after she realizes she's managed to fluster me.61:45But did she forget how she couldn't even touch the spoon last time we shared a bite?61:50Yummy.61:51Thank you for that.61:53Sure.61:53What? That's new!62:00She's unfazed!62:02I am the mouse, and Dahlia the cat.62:09That was stellar.62:11Thanks for picking the place.62:13And now, time for your gift.62:16Here, open it.62:18You got me something for my belated birthday?62:21Wow I don think I ever owned a fancy mug like this before Isn it nice Appreciate it I make sure to put it to good use Good I glad to hear it62:38What's up?62:38Oh, I just realized.62:40Aren't cups like these the kind of things couples usually purchase in pairs?62:44Now don't tell me.62:45Aha.62:46It looks like you understand.62:48Of course it came with a matching mug.62:50I've been drinking from mine at home for days now.62:52Wait, what?62:53So, do you wish that was true?63:01I surrender. There's no winning against her today.63:13I'd like to discuss the summer uniform proposal, since we have to wait our turns for parent-teacher meetings anyway.63:19In that case, let me fix up some tea.63:21Thanks, sounds great.63:23Oh, and please relax while I handle this, I-N-L.63:30You good? You look off.63:32Uh, no, I'm okay.63:34So, Prez, any update on the uniform stuff?63:37Yeah. This doesn't leave this room, but it's not unrealistic to say they could be introduced after summer break.63:44Whoa, so it's happening.63:46Yes, we'll make a surprise announcement at the closing ceremony.63:50That's simply wonderful news!63:53As much as I do like the uniforms we have, they're not the most comfortable in the summer when it's hot outside.63:58Excellent work.64:00Much appreciated.64:01Though, the real star of this operation was none other than my vice president, Chisaki.64:05No, don't sell yourself short.64:07This wouldn't have worked out if you weren't so tough with the staff.64:10You mean it.64:12Always.64:13It's crazy how anytime they lock eyes for a moment, the world disappears.64:17K, tea's ready!64:19Here.64:20For you.64:22It looks good as ever.

Have a good one.66:31Thank you for your time.66:34Anyway, let's talk more about that Alisa girl.66:37How close are you?66:38I really don't want to talk about that right now, Grandpa.66:53Hey, it's been way too long, Yumi.67:01I suppose it has been, father-in-law.67:09Yeah?67:13Hulya?67:15So, uh, did Yuki already tell you?67:18Yes.67:19She told me you'd caught a cold and that you probably didn't have enough medicine at your apartment.67:23Oh, sure.67:25That twerp You gotta tell me if I having someone over Would you mind if I invited myself in I good You already done enough bringing stuff here67:35I'm not allowed to leave on orders from Yuki.67:38She told me to take care of you until you're feeling better.67:41Oh, come on! Don't drag me into your otaku fantasies!67:45I'm not all right.67:47Huh. Yuki's innocent for once.67:50Let's set you up.67:53Hmm, weird.67:55You look like you're exploring a new planet.67:57Hey, it's not like I'm nervous being here. I'm totally fine.68:00I just don't go over to other people's homes very often.68:03Yeah, and it smells like a boy.68:07Sounds kinda suspect when you whisper it like that.68:10Well, we're here. So, does porridge or borscht sound better to you?68:14That's a new one for me.68:16I'll have you know, borscht is great for when you're sick.68:20The veggies are boiled till they're nice and tender.68:22It goes down smoothly no matter how you feel.68:24Whatever you say, dude.68:25I'll take your word and go with the borscht then.68:28Sure thing.68:29Just give me four hours to get it ready for you.68:31You want me to die from starvation here?68:33Using a pressure cooker would speed things up,68:35but it would ruin the authenticity of the meal.68:37It sounds like we're doing porridge then.68:39Alright, I'll just see myself to your kitchen.68:44Okay, so I used those pre-cooked rice packets?68:47Oh, and is it normal to heat it in the microwave like this?68:55He's actually been using it.68:58Right, focus. Which step was I on?69:06Here you go. Your porridge is ready.69:11Whoa.69:13Love the apron. I needed that.69:15I see you're already back to your old self.69:19Think you can eat?69:20Yeah, sure.69:22Here.69:23Appreciate it.69:27You did great.69:29Oh, yeah?69:33So, uh, where are your parents?69:36Dad had to go to work.69:38No mom to speak of.69:40Yeah, my dad raised me alone.69:43Oh, I didn't know.69:45Thank you again. It was great.69:50No problem. Did you take the meds?69:52Yeah. So guess I'm gonna take a quick nap. You don't have to stay.69:57It's fine. I'll just study out in the living room.70:00Oh, it's really not necessary.70:03You need to let other people take care of you while you're sick.70:07Fine.70:18Yeesh, I overslept. Surely she's not still out there, right?70:22You're up? You should go back to bed.70:31How are you feeling? I will tend to your needs.70:35Now please, let me help you stand.70:36Hey, cut it out. You're making me look like the kind of guy who hires maids for all the wrong reasons.70:42Gotta be careful in this day and age. I might get cancelled.70:46What are you going on about? Anyway, leave him alone before you get sick.70:50No, a maid should fall ill with her master.70:54But Kusei's not your master last I checked.70:56Don't you work for Yuki?71:00I am following orders.71:02My mistress requested I look after Masachika.71:04As such, this is merely my duty as a maid.71:08So with that, allow me to care for him in your stead.71:12You may head on home now.71:13I will service him this evening.71:16Hey, freezing!71:16Please, you should try to get a good night's sleep in preparation for your day tomorrow.71:24Eh? What's up? Something happening?71:27It's nothing. Just another day at school.71:30I'll leave.71:31Huh?71:34Well then, make sure my running mate feels better ASAP.71:37Yes, you can count on me.71:40See you later, Kuze. I'm off.71:43Yeah, later.71:46Our queen shows her talent once again.71:55Newbie princess tried to hold her own, but she can't compete with Yugi.72:00She's already made her move.72:02I figured she wouldn't try anything until the closing ceremony.72:05But it looks like that was wishful thinking on my part.72:12You good, Olya?72:15You're here.72:16Yeah... So what happened?72:21I didn mean No I messed up everything All the help you gave me was a waste of time I sorry It started yesterday morning Yuki asked to talk to me72:38Koozie's out sick with a cold?72:40Yes. Over the years, I've always tried to take care of him in situations like this.72:45But I have another thing to deal with.72:47Oh. Then I can go.72:49You really don't mind? In that case, he has a really specific brand of cold medicine he likes to take.72:55Here's his address. Thank you so much.72:58Sure. I'll head over as soon as I can.73:01Also, there's something else I wanted to talk about with you.73:05Go ahead.73:06As you already know, I run the Lunchtime PA broadcast, and I was hoping you'd be a guest tomorrow.73:12Oh?73:13I would love to talk about the recent student congress with the woman who came out on top.73:18Are you sure?73:18Yes, and it would be a great opportunity for you too, since you can really emphasize your victory.73:25No, my apologies, but I have no intention of revisiting that topic publicly.73:30Oh, are you certain?73:33Well then, I think you should still make an appearance anyway.73:36There are so many things I'd like to talk about with you.73:38There are?73:39You and I could do the final progress report for the first term, so will you?73:44Yeah, all right.73:45I will.73:46I can deal with that.73:47Yay! Thank you so, so much!73:52But I'm surprised.73:54Even though it would help your campaign,73:56the two of you are still trying to stop the gossip about Tanayama.74:00Oh, was it that obvious?74:02Well, you're not subtle.74:04Everyone's been talking about Nanoa.74:05The rumors about her cheating are spreading like wildfire.74:08And the fact that you're letting it happen tells the whole story.74:12My, my. Just look at you.74:14How can you be so laid back in the jaws of a bear?74:18I'm beginning to doubt that you're even trying to beat me.74:22What do you mean?74:26Are your instincts not screaming?74:32I'd expect my prey to be on guard in my territory.74:35But perhaps your will to survive is too weak.74:38It's like watching a salmon struggling to swim upstream.74:41I had to give you a warning before I take my free meal.74:45You have something planned for tomorrow?74:47Do I have to spell it out for you?74:50Why else would I invite you while Masachika's stuck at home sick?74:53Try to keep up dearie You capitalizing on his illness Why yes I wish to use this opportunity to crash your stock as much as possible All right then do what you will75:05You think I'm afraid of you without him by my side, don't you?75:08You shouldn't underestimate me.75:11Oh?75:12Well, I cordially invite you to go run into Masa Chica for help.75:17There's no need. I can deal with you without burdening him.75:20So get ready.75:22We're feeling confident, huh?75:23Excited to see what magic or ice princess can accomplish when she's all by herself75:28I'll be fine. Watch me75:32Of course, I prepared for it as much as I was able75:36But then, at lunch today?75:40Forgive me! I was awful!75:43Uh, what's happening? Why are you apologizing?75:46It's just... the attitude I had with you yesterday was inexcusable75:50I'm sorry.75:52I felt positively terrible scheming against you.75:55What kind of friend am I to stand in the way of my friend's rise to the presidency?75:58So, in a move to get past my mental roadblock,76:02I came off far more aggressive than I ever intended.76:04I understand how self-serving it must sound at this point.76:08But still, I...76:09I would never want to sour our friendship over something so petty!76:13Uh...76:14Hey, don't worry about it.76:16There's no need to bow.76:18So then, may I take that to mean you accept my apology?76:22Yeah, sure. I can hardly fault you for being so passionate about this.76:27You're such a kind soul. I'm relieved.76:33I swear I'm not making excuses.76:35But if I may, I have my reasons for taking the presidential election as seriously as I do.76:41Why's that?76:43When I was young, I had an older brother.76:47Back then, I thought him more talented than I could ever be.76:52But for his talents, the expectations on him were high.76:56Our grandfather put the weight of the Suo name on him.77:00Then, one day, he was gone.77:03I carry my family's hopes in his place.77:06Since he can't, it falls to me to continue our legacy.77:10So now, I will grow into the woman who would want me to be.77:14Uh...77:16Looks like we're about to go live.77:18So, are you ready to roll?77:20For sure.77:23While we still have a minute I love to hear about your reasons What Why are you running I sure you a reason just as important as mine Uh Oh uh well77:35Um...77:36Oh, time's up.77:37Let's start.77:40Good afternoon, everyone.77:42This is Yuki Suwo, joining all of you here on this beautiful day to bring you a progress report on what the Student Council has got going on.77:49Today, we have a very special guest joining us.77:52Why am I...77:55I'm Elisa Kujo, you're a student counselor treasurer, so it's my pleasure to help with the report.78:03Sounds like someone has some first-time nerves to work out.78:08And that was it. I could barely speak.78:12I can't blame her. Yuki calculated perfectly, making herself the bad guy to piss Alia off, only to blindside her with a sob story, claiming she's carrying on her family's hopes.78:23But surely your reason is better, right?78:26I failed.78:27She figured out how to shake me up, and I didn't know how to bounce back.78:36And that scene.78:38You can't let your thoughts spiral out of control.78:40How am I spiraling?78:42Even now, you're doing exactly what she wants you to do.78:45What's in it for her?78:46She can't get an actual advantage from the broadcast today.78:50So think about it.78:51School was let out early.78:52There weren't many people left around to hear it.78:55If she wanted to one-up you, this probably would have been the worst day to go for the kill.79:01She was laying the groundwork for later, so her real move will be the closing ceremony.79:05I'd say that's right.79:07All that she wanted was to throw you off your game.79:10In short, her only goal was to have you walk away feeling upset with yourself.79:15And here you are giving it to her.79:17understood thanks for that why are you smiling79:28so i am79:33just amused at how well she played us couldn't tell you why but i feel more excited than i have in a79:42I didn't know how to answer.79:55Answer what?79:56I was lost for words when she asked why I wanted to be president.80:00But for her, the answer was obvious.80:03For her family.80:04For her legacy.80:06And for the weight that's been put on her back from those things.80:10And then there's me.80:11Only doing it for myself.80:13And I tried.80:15But I couldn't tell her that.80:17I'm ashamed that I wavered under pressure.80:21But even more than that, I'm ashamed I couldn't even look her in the eye and say it.80:25Head held high.80:28Alia, it's okay.80:30So your motivations aren't as noble as Yuki's. Who cares?80:35I told you already. The way you act every day is more than enough to captivate anyone you meet.80:41You are driven. You are earnest.80:45And your hard work is plain for anyone to see.80:48So hey, keep your chin up. You're doing fine.80:52You have a lot to offer others. Every bit as much as Yuki does.80:57That's how I'd answer.81:00Ugh.81:03Better be careful.81:04Sounds like you're professing your love.81:06Momo, give me a break!81:07I'm never saying anything nice to you again!81:09Let's leave!81:10I'm hot!81:11I think my fever's coming back.81:14Thanks again.81:15I feel better now.81:17I needed the pep talk.81:19Oh yeah?81:20Glad to hear it.81:21And you're right.81:23There's no benefit in comparing my reason to hers.81:26But it's incredibly sad.81:27It can't be easy for her, carrying on her dead brother's legacy.81:33No!81:34Bad sister!81:36That brother's sitting in front of you alive and well!81:38Listen, you really ought to know.81:41Hey, hey.81:42Hold up.81:43Didn't someone say you took the day off sick?81:46Hello, both of you.81:47Yeah, I'm feeling better.81:49Ah, totally.81:51Ninoa, could you sit properly?81:54What?81:54No one else is here.81:55Why can't I spread out a little bit?81:58Go ahead. What's up?82:01I know I'm late in saying this.82:03Kuze, Kujo, I apologize for my inappropriate behavior before Congress.82:09It was uncalled for and undeserved.82:12Hey, same's easier.82:14Honestly, I should have told her to go take a chill pill.82:17Might be too late, but could you forgive us?82:20It's not really up to me, but what are you thinking?82:23All I wanted was an apology for your insulting words against us And regarding you Miyamai I don think you did anything worth feeling bad about I don know The plants thing is rough Maybe shouldn have done that to you82:36Did you not bring up your win on the broadcast82:38because you wanted to help me save face?82:40Were you protecting my reputation?82:42I didn't win the debate through any conventional means.82:45All things considered,82:46it feels wrong to claim I was the victor.82:49Ah, that's it.82:51You're extremely prideful.82:52Of course.82:54One can say the same about me.82:57Hang on, Tanayama. What do you have in mind?83:00I will not tolerate any excess niceties, and my reputation doesn't matter to me.83:05So does that mean you're going to declare your own defeat in front of the whole student body?83:09On the PA? Or the closing ceremony?83:13I'm sorry, but as student council officers, we can't just hand out those speaking permissions to whoever asks.83:19If you want to repay all you's good will, find something else.83:22I'm sure we could figure out a way between us.83:25And what do you have in mind?83:28Are you serious?83:30Yeah.83:31I'll be frank, I wasn't offering to back you or anything like that.83:35Ideally, I still believe the win should go to Suo and her running mate.83:39You're sure?83:41There is a reason I chose to run with Alia, and I bet you're starting to see it too.83:49Hmm. Very well then.83:52That's wild!83:56Kay, I'm in too.83:59Thank you. Appreciate it.84:02Alya, this is the effect you have.84:04And now we can beat them.84:06Wait, beat them?84:08I thought we were aiming for a draw.84:10Nah, we're not playing nice anymore.84:12After all that crap they made you deal with,84:15we'll destroy them through and through.84:17If you believe that I have any shortcomings as a president, I gladly welcome any feedback.84:25And with that, I thank you all for your time.84:29Alrighty. Just gotta do that at the closing ceremony and we'll be good.84:33That's right. In front of people.84:35What's wrong with that? You did fine during the student congress, so no need to worry.84:40You think so? I only managed to pull that off because I was so caught up in my own thoughts.84:44And tomorrow's different. The audience.84:47It'll be much bigger won't it. Yeah, it sure will gonna be packed in here tomorrow probably the biggest crowd yet84:55But our task remains the same just focus on delivering your message to them I not quite sure that gonna work While I was watching you give your own speech during the Student Congress I wondered something85:08How'd you do it? How were you able to engage the audience as well as you did?85:12I'm honestly not sure how I can help you there.85:15It comes from experience, so you might have a skill issue.85:21I'm just kidding. I've got a simple trick for you.85:24Something that'll really break the ice and hook the audience.85:28A trick?85:29Yep.85:30And that's it?85:32I told you it was simple.85:33And it'll be super effective.85:36Will it now?85:37Then I'll try it.85:38Are you two rehearsing for tomorrow?85:40We are.85:41I take it you're done with your work?85:43Yes.85:44Naturally.85:46What, Masachika?85:47Is there something wrong?85:49That's an awfully intense look you have.85:51Funny.85:51I could say the exact same thing about you.85:54It seems like we're both starting to show our true colors, wouldn't you say?85:58Oh, I would.86:00See that? This is what she's actually like, so don't be fooled by her.86:04Right, sure.86:06What's this, Alia? Do I detect a hint of disappointment?86:10Not at all. And I'm not surprised, either.86:14Well, it's only natural. People behave differently when facing different circumstances.86:19Although, when you told me you wished to remain friends, did you mean what you said?86:24Yes, I meant every word.86:26Then it's fine.86:28Actually, I'm thankful.86:29You gave me a great chance to take stock of myself.86:32And?86:33Yesterday you asked me why exactly I was running to become student council president.86:37And tomorrow, I intend to give you my answer.86:43Your forthright nature is really shining through.86:46I love that about you.86:49Great, I'm glad that's over.86:51Relieved your friendship with Alya's still intact.86:53Are you now? Interesting phrasing there. Perhaps I might have soured a different friendship, like the one between me and you, quite possibly.87:01Nay, perish the thought. If I'm gonna be honest, I actually think that was real classy of you.87:07Are you cross with me?87:09I have no reason to be. You attacked your opponent's vulnerabilities. That's a strategic, if obvious, move.87:16Let me think. How do I put my feelings in words?87:19I can't come up with a perfect example right now, but think of it this way.87:24It kind of like half of me wants to give my pet puppy dog head paths for having the courage to bite me But the other half wants to discipline it to teach it a lesson Makes sense87:35Why take a bite if you won't commit and sink your teeth in?87:40Oh, there you are.87:42Hey ya.87:43I'd like to do a final rundown of tomorrow's plans.87:46Now then, that leaves tomorrow's speech order.87:50What do you think?87:51Last year, the candidates decided with rock, paper, scissors.87:55I've no objections to that method.87:57Too bad, I do. I'm not a fan of the mind games behind it.88:01What? You have a fair point.88:04So, is a coin toss acceptable?88:06I find it acceptable enough.88:08Very well then. Ayano can toss it, and Alya can be the one to call it in the air, deal?88:13Nope. Someone who isn't involved should toss.88:16Ha! Your trust issues are showing.88:19Like me! I can give that coin a flip.88:22Well, if you insist. Thanks, Masha.88:26If all you guess is right, then we get to choose the order.88:29But if she's wrong, Yuki gets to decide.88:32Hey, Masha. Are you sure you're up for this?88:35Come on! You should have more faith in your big sister. It's just a coin toss.88:40Ready, and...88:43If I go first and set the bar high enough, I can score a decisive victory.88:51If I go second, the first pair will get polite applause while the audience weighs its options.88:57It won't be an outright domination if Alia gets to go first.89:01Should I take first dibs?89:02No. It'd be smarter to go second and see what my dear big brother does first.89:07Speaking of, why'd he try so hard to intimidate me earlier?89:12He usually acts like a docile, nameless background character.89:16I got it! See? Told you I could do it, Alia!89:20Yeah, congrats, I guess. I'm heads.89:23Wait, are you sure? Shouldn't you think about it more?89:26It's fine, just show it.89:29And it's... looks like we got tails.89:32So you get to pick, Yuki.89:34Do you want to give your speech first or second?89:36Let me think.89:38What if Masachiko was just acting like you put his big boy pants on?89:42What's the point?89:43Was he in my face just to distract me?89:46Distract me from what, though?89:48Alia! Of course! Pretty sneaky, bro. He almost had me there. But my real target's been Alia all along. I understand just how emotionally...90:00She is yesterday's broadcast must still be eating away at her if I make her go second90:05Then I can pile on even more pressure90:07Which is all according to plan if he thinks he can go first to get a polite applause and make it a draw and he's got another thing coming90:15Yeah, I should listen to my gut and go for complete domination90:20Okay, I would like to go first, please90:23You got it the Suokimishima pair will go first and the younger Kujokuze pair will go second90:30Got it.90:31After the first time they're not completing their tasks, they find it difficult to divert their attention to student needs.90:37Hey, Alia. Are you okay?90:40I'm fine. Don't worry. Give me space to focus.90:43Aww. Stop being so cold.90:46A safe, well-curated speech. No wonder they went first. They're trying to shut us out before we even start. So you all good?90:55Yes.90:56Got this. Now refresh my memory. What's this event called again?90:59The Student Council Officer's Greeting.91:02Bingo. It's a greeting. So let the audience get to know you with a warm welcome.91:07Next up, we have Alisa Kujo, the Student Council Treasurer.91:13She was pretty funny, huh? Kimishima, right?91:22Siyo sure knows how to pick them, doesn't she?91:25Well, an ex-president has basically decided already.91:30No kidding.91:32Can you introduce yourself?91:34The KSWC, Alisa Kujo.91:38I'm going to announce my candidate for the president of the School Council in the future.91:46I came to this school from Russia last year.91:50And I don't have any achievements I could be proud of.91:56I can't say that I fully understood the principles of working together.92:20Listen up if we end up having to go second start your speech off in Russian The crowd will be basking in the glory of Yuki and Iano speeches when you step up92:30But if you use some surprise Russian, that'll snap them right out of it.92:36Let me start over. I'm Elisa Kujo, Student Council Treasurer.92:39And next year, I intend on running for Student Council President.92:45I only just transferred into this academy one year ago.92:49Therefore, I have no impressive track record to boast about.92:53I can't say I fully grasp what council work and presidential duties entail.92:57I've yet to understand the responsibility.93:00I'm aware of that.93:01There are plenty of areas I'm lacking in as of now.93:04But I'm confident in one thing, and I say this to you without a shadow of a doubt.93:10And that is...93:12I work hard.93:13I'm a person who can and does work harder than anybody else.93:17I have always strived to bring what I believe to be the ideal outcome to fruition.93:22And that's because I believe that we as people mustn't rest on our laurels93:26and always improve to reach greater heights.93:29I'll admit that my drive has at times sown discord in the past,93:34causing me to experience bitter failures.93:36But I learned from my mistakes93:38and helped my class win the Best Attraction Award at last year's middle school festival.93:43Of course, I couldn't have achieved all that on my own.93:48I know that there is a lot I'm lacking in order to be a good president, and I recognize that.94:00You are driven. You are earnest.94:04And your hard work is plain for anyone to see.94:07Keep your chin up.94:08Regardless, I find myself on this stage, speaking to all of you, in my own words, straight from my heart.94:19And I'm going to keep on learning, to make up for what I lack.94:23One step at a time, I'll improve.94:26And when the time comes, if I don't think I'm worthy of being president by next year's elections, I will take myself out of the race.94:34So I ask you, see me for who I am, who I'll be.94:38All of that will fuel me and drive me into becoming the president you want, need, and deserve.94:46And with that I thank you for your time94:59Way to go. You knocked their socks off.95:02You think so?95:03Yeah. You were cool as hell.95:07Thank you. I felt cool.95:10Next up, we'll hear from Masuchika Kusei.95:13You got this.95:15I know.95:15Well, alrighty. Time to wrap this up.95:25And that's all I have to say.95:27Help make a brand new kind of student council a reality.95:31She can do it. Thank you for your time.95:40Hear that? You made this applause happen, Aria.95:45I believe that we're even now.95:56Yes, and thank you for all your help.95:59Don't expect any further help from here on out.96:02Of course.96:03I'll do my best to earn your approval as well.96:06You can count on that.96:08Don't disappoint me.96:10Well, good luck you too.96:11If you end up winning the election, I'll be Team Alisa all the way, baby.96:17Oh, thanks, I guess.96:23This is why I want to become student council president.96:26Your motivations won't overpower me anymore.96:31Chat, we got cut.96:33Dang.96:34My apologies, mistress.96:35If only I had delivered a better, more enthusiastic speech.96:39None of this was your fault, you know?96:40I made the wrong call. I tried to win with strategy alone.96:45Well, I suppose I should just admit defeat for today. I'll let them have their victory, for now.96:52Mistress Yuki, you're giving great final boss vibes.96:57Bruh, and I wasn't even trying.97:05Now, if only I'd hit my goal, then it would have been the icing on the metaphorical cake.97:09You can say that again How I get such an anticlimactic ending Welp looks like there are things that elude even a prodigy like me Prodigy huh So any complaints about this97:22Not at all.97:23Good. Then let's head home. I'm feeling pretty warm now. Today was kind of a lot.97:29Yeah, it sure was.97:33Hey, Oya?97:34What?97:35I was thinking, what happened to our bet?97:39I have to do one thing you ask for, don't you remember?97:42I'll come up with something.97:44Oi, call me crazy, but didn't you have something in mind?97:47You gave me a hint in Russian.97:49Oh, that? I'm pretty sure I was just saying whatever.97:54How so? I was sure you win.97:59Oh, now I get it. She wasn't counting on winning the bet from the start.98:03So what was it again? Something about my given name?98:10Hey, uh, Alya?98:13You know, now that we've both made our formal addresses, we've been fully recognized as running mates for the election, so...98:21I figured, why don't you start referring to me by my given name?98:25Just to show our camaraderie and how we're a close-knit team?98:29Sure, I guess that sounds fair.98:31What?
