Hokuto: Alright, that about does it for our duties for today.

Transfer student, did you manage to finish today’s entry in the class diary? If there’s anything you need help with, you can always ask me.

Nn? Thanks for everything, you say? Don’t worry, I’m the class president… It’s my job to help you out.

Our homeroom teacher also asked me to look after you, after all.

Besides. It’s all thanks to you that we were able to cause the revolution. Even my whole life wouldn't be enough to pay you back for that.

I’ll do anything for you… My grandmother told me to always be grateful to those who help me.

Fufu. Ever since you transferred here, so much has happened so fast…

We’ve both been very busy, but now that the dust has started settling, we finally have some time to calm down.

You should take this time to slowly get used to your life here at Yumenosaki.

It might seem like it’s too late for that by now, but you are still a transfer student, after all. You probably haven’t gotten entirely used to your new surroundings yet, have you?

You led us to victory at DDD just recently, and your skills as a Producer have become highly praised.

I’m sure you’re very busy, since you’re in such high demand.

In times like these it’s especially important to take your time and carefully consider what you ought to do next. I’ll always do my best to give you advice or help as needed, so I’d like you to rely on me.

Of course, it’s not only me. Akehoshi and Yuuki… and Isara as well, they all share my sentiment. We’re your comrades. I’d be happy if we could keep supporting each other moving forward.

Let’s do our best together, Transfer student.

….♪ (Contently shaking Anzu’s hand)

Jin: O~i, Transfer student, are you here? If I remember correctly you were on class duty today, so you should still be around.

I’m sorry to nag you, but there’s some business I need you for, so could you come to the staff room… Oh?

Hokuto: ….

Jin: So~rry! You were in the middle of something fun, weren’t you Hocchan? It sure is nice to be so young… I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything at all, so have at it ♪

Hokuto: Wait. Don’t go creating some weird misunderstandings. We were just reaffirming our friendship.

Jin: Is that so… How boring. You’re both in puberty, so why not be a little bit more flirty sometimes?

You should find some more fun hobbies than overthrowing the student council and causing revolutions, you know?

If you don’t play around while you’re still a kid, you’ll end up regretting it as you grow older.

Hokuto: Hm… Are you speaking from experience, Sagami-sensei?

Jin: No~pe, I’m just complaining like I would do at a pub. Anyways, sorry to bother you but could I borrow the transfer student?

Or rather, why are you even still here? The transfer student is the only one on class duty today, isn’t she?

Class duty is supposed to be done in pairs, but she transferred after the beginning of the year, so she’s left over or something?

Hokuto: That’s right. But doing the work alone sounds tough… and since she just transferred I thought she might not be used to the responsibilities of class duty yet, so I was helping her out.

Trickstar is on break right now, and I didn’t have anything else to do so I have some free time after all.

Jin: Hmm. I see. You guys just participated in the Sakura Fes, after all. That was a lot of fun, you know. I was watching the flowers while drinking until I got wasted.

Hokuto: Don’t get drunk, it’s unsightly… If one of your old fans saw you like that they’d cry you know, Sagami-sensei.

Either way, what is this business you mentioned? I already mentioned this, but I have some free time, so depending on the details I might be able to help out.

Jin: Oh, you’re a good kid as usual. I wonder if this is the result of Hidaka-san’s parenting style…

Then you can come along too. It’d be a huge help if you could just hear me out and give me your opinion.

It’s been too long since I retired after all, I’ve completely forgotten what it’s like inside the entertainment industry.

Hokuto: …? I’m not sure I understand, but if that’s all then I’ll come along. Is that okay with you as well, Transfer student?

Jin: Yup. Come along then, both of you. Just remember to lock the classroom door on your way out. I’ll go on ahead~♪

Hokuto: …I wonder what that’s about?

For that lazy teacher to walk all the way over here to fetch you personally… This business is probably somewhat important, whatever it is.

Even though I’ve known that person for a very long time now, I still have no idea what he’s thinking most of the time.

…N? Oh, Sagami-sensei is well acquainted with my parents, you see. He seems to have taken a liking to me, since he often came to our house to play when I was growing up.

Both my dad and Sagami-sensei were super idols at the top of the world back then… They must’ve had a lot in common.

Though I can’t even imagine the world they must have lived in.

Fufu. Sagami-sensei used to be really cool back then, you know. I even looked up to him a little bit.

Nowadays he’s hardly recognizable, though.

Oh. Instead of standing around and chatting, we should probably lock the room up and head on over to the staff room. You haven’t forgotten anything, right, transfer student?
