RINA: "Here, found it."

KANATA: "Uh, who? Who am I looking at? *Yawn* The small letters are making me sleepy. G'night."

NICO: "Hey, no sleeping on the job! Wake up! Look, right here! There's a familiar face."

SHIZUKU: "Huh? Wh-Who?"

AKI: "I already know that Honoka is on the website's front page..."

NICO: "No, not Honoka! This one here, Kaoruko. She's really famous. They say she built the School Idol Festival from the ground up all on her own."

RUBY: "I-I know her, too! She wasn't actually a school idol herself, but she was a big fan of them just like me. Not just that, but she always supported them in all sorts of ways."

HANAYO: "Oh, I know her, too! She's pretty well-known!"

AYUMU: "You know, Aki, she sounds kind of like you."

AKI: "Wh-Whoa, we're not nearly on the same level! But she loved school idols and started an event for them, huh.
I wonder what kind of person she is? I want to meet her and hear her out."

ELI: "Let's go and speak to this Kaoruko, then."

DIA: "If she was involved in starting the first School Idol Festival, she must be particularly passionate about it. I can't imagine she'd watch this happen in silence."

KASUMI: "But wouldn't the committee people have already contacted her? Wouldn't that mean it didn't work out?"

UMI: "No, we can't jump to that conclusion yet. How about you talk to the committee head again, including about that?"

AKI: "Good idea. I'll give it a try. It's worth a shot! And if it doesn't work, let's think of something else."

HONOKA: "Yeah! Let's give every option we've got a try!"

EVERYONE: "Yeah!"

SETSUNA: "U-Um, everyone! Sorry, but it's almost time for the clubs to head home."

HONOKA: "Oh, sorry for keeping you so long! Let's all head home, then."

CHIKA: "Hold on a sec, Honoka! We're all here, on a day with no school? Let's go have some fun!"

AKI: "Oh, I agree with that! What does everyone want to do?"

YOSHIKO: "To the gathering place of fallen angels, Harajuku!"

KASUMI: "I'm pretty hungry!"

HONOKA: "I want to go to your house!"

MAKI: "Fine, fine. How about we just all go where we want, then?"

CHIKA: "I'm for that!"

*MEANWHILE*

???: "Excuse me. Is the student council president in at the moment?"

COUNCIL MEMBER: "Oh, I'm sorry. The president left this morning on important business."

???: "I see... Is she always like that?"

COUNCIL MEMBER: "Oh, no, today was an exception. She left a note. She seems to be really serious about whatever it was."

???: "A note? Rather than addressing the council herself. And she's leaving everything to them?
So, someone who should stand at the top of the student body, guiding it along, is putting herself first.
I knew it. I was right, I have to change things."
