I QUIT:


KYOKO: "Hey, Io! Did you see the public debate the other day? Shioriko's amazing! The way she really gave it to the current president is what you'd expect from a Mifune daughter."



NANA: "Hm?" (Are they talking about the debate?)


IO: "Yeah, it was incredible. It's not like I've got any qualms with the current Student Council President, but she was completely overshadowed."


KYOKO: "I know, right? Uh... What was her name again? I think it had a bunch of 'na' bits in it."


IO: "Nana Nakagawa! That's pretty bad of you to forget the Student Council President's name!"


KYOKO: "Sorry, sorry. But I thought Shioriko was better because she had more concrete and coherent things to say than Nana did."


IO: "Hmm. I feel like I can get where Nana's coming from as well, though. Still, if I had to pick between the two, I'd probably lean more towards Shioriko."


KYOKO: "Right?! There's no arguement against success. I don't want to fail, y'know?"


NANA: (...Of course that's what they think. Even I thought Shioriko won the debate. No matter who looked at it, I'm sure they would think Shioriko is better for the role. But if I lose, then the club will...
No. We've just found a new goal to work towards. Having the club abolished is the last thing I want to have happen!)



SHIORIKO: "Have you not become half-hearted in your efforts towards both your Student Council President duties and your passions?"



NANA: "Have my efforts become...half-hearted?
I've indeed been spending less time on my Student Council duties ever since I returned to the School Idol Club, but it has never been my intention to be half-hearted."


*RIIIIIING*


NANA: "Oh? Eli and Dia..."


-------------------------------------------



ELI: Morning, Setsuna. Did the public debate go well? I've been hearing a lot of things lately, so I'm just a little concerned. I couldn't wait until our gathering on Saturday.


DIA: Good morning. How have you been? Since you came to us for advice, I've been curious as to how your public debate went. Please respond if you feel up to it.


-------------------------------------------


NANA: (I have to tell them both everything.)


-------------------------------------------



SETSUNA: Good morning. Sorry for causing you concern. The public debate is over. I don't feel very good about it. To be completely honest, I'm actually finding it very difficult.


SETSUNA: I had absolutely no response to my opponent, Mifune. This was not because I was not sufficiently prepared, but I believe it was because I was not serious enough.


SETSUNA: However, I am going to do everything I can for re-election. Thank you very much for listening to my concerns and offering me your advice!


-------------------------------------------


NANA: (Both Eli and Dia balance their student council presidency and school idol activities well, so I need to also give it my all!
I'm going to hurry back to the clubroom and discuss this with the others!
I now know what needs to be done...)


...


AKI: "I came up with another election poster design with Shiro after watching Nana's debate. What do you think?"



RINA: "It looks good. Let's go and post this one up on the notice board as well. Rina-chan Board says, 'Sparkle!'"


AKI: "A school where we can pursue our passions. They were such brilliant words!"


AYUMU: "Yep! I really related to Nana's speech more!"


KASUMI: "Everyone, look! Ta-da! I made some business cards! Promoting herself will be a breeze with these!"



EMMA: "Wow! It's got really detailed information on Nana printed in it. Hang on...what?! Isn't this a bit TOO detailed?!"


KASUMI: "It's fine! She needed a little spice, so that's what I added!"


KARIN: "You're right. Mifune successfully campaigned for herself at the debate. This is the kind of thing Nana needs to go up against her."


AKI: "Business cards are a great way to campaign. As are posters, so I want to see every square foot of this school coated in Nana posters. From the floors of the halls, to the bathroom stalls."


AYUMU: "Isn't that a little, TOO drastic?"


AKI: "If it means saving our club then I will do it. Hearing the support for Shioriko has made me believe that nothing is TOO drastic anymore."


AYUMU: "...Just don't go too far."


AKI: "Don't worry, I won't. I'm not the type to resort to using scandals."



AI: "Okay, so today, we need to put up the new posters, and..."


SHIZUKU: "Hand out business cards! All right, I'm going to hand out a whole bunch of them!"


AKI: "All right, then let's discuss who will do what and where... Oh, and don't worry about the posters in the bathroom stalls. I saw that someone actually destroyed their school with posters once."



NANA: "Everyone! Sorry I'm late!"


AKI: "Don't worry about it, there's no such thing as arriving late for you anymore. Take as much time out activities as you want, remember?"


NANA: "But..."


AKI: "Your timing is actually perfect. We've all come up with new ways for you to promote your campaign. See? I made you a new poster."



KANATA: "And Kasumi even made some business cards for you!"


AI: "Thanks for getting busy with those busy-ness cards, Kasukasu!"


KASUMI: "That was really lame, Ai... And stop calling me Kasukasu!"


*RIIIIIIING*


AKI: "Hm? Oh, it's Kanan."


-------------------------------------------




KANAN: Where are we meeting up this weekend? Same time as usual, right? Let me know when the details are sorted out!


-------------------------------------------


AKI: "Oh, crap! I haven't contacted everyone about the time and place yet!"



RINA: "Looks like you've got another message, from Rin."


-------------------------------------------



RIN: Have you decided on the songs you'll be performing for the mini live show at the station? Kayo-chin, Nico and I are getting it ready, so let us know when it's all sorted out!


-------------------------------------------



KASUMI: "Oh no, I completely forgot to let them know about the songs!"


AKI: "Shouldn't they already know? We've only got one song each! Well... except for Setsuna and Shizuku... but even our existing songs could use some...fine tuning?"


AI: "Hey, Prez was that a pun?"


AKI: "It wasn't supposed to be, but take it how you please."


SHIZUKU: "Sorry about the songs, it completely slipped my mind as well! Let's put together a list right now!"


AKI: "You two do that, but we're all kinda busy right now."



NANA: "Ah..."


AKI: "Hm?"


NANA: "I-I'm so sorry! I'm taking up everyone's time with my election!"


EMMA: "Huh? It's not your fault, Setsuna. It's just that we're all a bit scatterbrained."


KARIN: "That's right. And don't forget that everyone in μ's and Aqours told us to focus on your election for now as well."


NANA: "I finally understand what Mifune was saying."



KARIN: "Huh?"


AKI: "What?"


NANA: "By selfishly choosing both the Student Council and school idol activities, I have not only divided my attention but everyone else's, too. This is what she was talking about. Right now, everyone should be focusing in the School Idol Festival preparations and yet..."


AKI: "...What are you trying to say?"



NANA: "Everyone, there's something I want to say to all of you."


KANATA: "Why are you getting all serious on us?"


NANA: "I want to truly thank everyone for all of the help you have given me up to now. I will always rely on your support."


AI: "Of course we'd help you! And we'll always support you!"


NANA: "But from now on, I will rely on your support only in my heart."


AYUMU: "Huh?"



NANA: "I am leaving the School Idol Club. I will take on the Student Council election on my own."


EVERYONE: "What?!"


AKI: "...But we're a team. Right? We're in on this campaign together!"


NANA: "I'm sorry, Akihiko. But you most of all have another job to focus on. You cannot provide a half-hearted School Idol Festival. So I trust in you to focus fully on being the Committee's Chairman."


AKI: "B-But..."


NANA: "I'm sorry, but here is my parting gift."


AKI: "My daruma..."


NANA: "It's time for it to give its luck back to its rightful owner."


AKI: "..."


NANA: "Farewell, everyone."


...



NANA: (The school I want to create is one where we can pursue our passions for three years of high school.
I love school idol activities, and I love seeing everyone enjoy their activities, too.
Which is why I want everyone to continue their school idol activities here with their minds at ease. I want to protect this place.
Eli, Dia... I'm sorry. I wasn't able to become the type of president you two are.)
