(Suggestion Box) (Eagerly...)

Huh?

A suggestion box?

We have one of those?

Yep.

I look forward to reading it every month.

I wonder how many we'll get.

Here goes!

Two submissions?

There are tons!

Oh, so that's how it works?

(Episode 4: Komaro and the Suggestion Box)

It's usually like this?

Yeah. Usually zero or one. We got three this month!

Well, we only put the box up this year.

I actually made the box myself.

(Today's Pattern) Oh, I see.

Then why introduce it this year?

Well...

the official reason was to make the Student Council more open and approachable.

(Suggestion Box) And to give Komaro something to do.

I see...

I wonder what people wrote.

What kind of things do we get?

(The Cafeteria Bread Is Too Expensive) Let's start with the first one.

(Baseball Club) Take it up with Student Affairs.

(The Baseball Field Is Too Small) That was the second one.

(Baseball Club) Two from the same club?

(Receipt) And the third one was a receipt.

Why are they so worked up over bread?

This thing's basically the Baseball Club's box now.

We should probably do more to promote the suggestion box.

For Komaro's sake, too.

Then I'll put up an announcement on the bulletin board...

The bulletin board?!

That's so lame. So analog!

Oh, shut up.

No way! Nobody wants to read a bunch of text!

They won't even read a single line.

Short-form videos are all the rage now.

Get a celebrity and a catchy song.

Keep it short and easy to understand.

That actually makes sense...

Lucky for you, I'll do it for just 20,000 yen.

(Ototori Tan, 140K Followers) You're the celebrity?!

But a short video, huh?

That might actually work.

Then how about making it a comedy skit?

Huh?

I love comedy!

People remember things that make them laugh.

So it'd be good publicity, too.

Oh, really?

Didn't see that coming.

Mm-hmm!

I've never actually done a comedy skit before, though.

But sure, let's do it.

Stop acting like you're some big celebrity.

Since it's a suggestion box...

Let's turn it into an advice show!

Like this!

How's this gonna turn out?

(Tan's Room)

All right, let's get this show on the road!

Welcome to the advice corner with your irresistibly cute host!

As always, I'm here to spread the love to everyone around the world!

Now, let's hear today's question...

Hey.

Why are you barging into my fantasy?!

Huh?

W-was that not okay?

I thought starting with some random nonsense would get a laugh...

(Dejected)

That kind of gag can cause a whole controversy. Let's not.

Comedians don't even slap each other around anymore.

R-really?

But it was so cute...

Then how about this?

(Throws a Pie During the Intro) Hello...

(Throws a Pie During the Intro) Can someone turn her off?!

This is a disaster.

Oh, Komaro, got any good ideas?

Huh? Sorry, I was thinking about something else.

I'm reading the suggestion slips.

You're still reading those stupid complaints?

I can't figure out how to make the field bigger.

Maybe if everyone pulled on it together.

Wait, that won't work.

Yeah...

I'm not strong enough.

That's not what I meant!

Well...

You don't have to take it so seriously.

Whoever dropped it in probably wasn't expecting us to move mountains.

Y-yeah, but...

They took the time to share how they feel, so...

There you go again.

You're right.

Even if we can't make the field bigger,

there must be something we can do for the baseball club.

Thanks.

Michinoku.

Are you okay?

The ball went straight into your stomach!

Sorry! Is there a baseball?

Gah!

(Suggestion Box) Please send us your suggestions!

Please send us your suggestions!

Please send us your suggestions!

Is this a fundraiser or something? - We got a ton!

Thanks to the Baseball Club's enthusiastic cooperation,

the suggestion box became a huge success.

Don't know what love is?

Easy! Easy!

First, just look at me!

That's it!

That feeling you just had? That's love!

Oh... I see?

(Records Room) Whew. Thanks!

That was urgent, so you really saved me.

Not at all.

I'm glad I could help.

You two haven't had lunch yet, right?

Let me treat you both as a thank-you.

Let's hit the cafeteria.

Huh? Are you sure?

I haven't been to the cafeteria in ages.

They've really gone all-out with the menu lately.

Like those limited-time rice bowls with exotic delicacies from around the world.

Hmm?

I wonder if they'll be good enough to satisfy my refined palate.

Where'd you come from?!

It's packed in here.

Sure is.

Now, what should I get for free?

You didn't do any of the work!

Oh, President!

President! - President!

(Energetic) Thanks so much for the other day!

Same here!

Let's go bowling again sometime!

The president's so popular! - I'd love to!

No wonder.

She's capable and so kind.

And she's got the looks, too.

Oh, right!

Ume is a "with" guy, huh?

(Napolitan Spaghetti, Hamburg Steak, Croquettes)

Pick whatever you like.

Anything I want?

Then I'll have this one.

(Mini Omurice, ¥350) Huh?

Since I'm treating you, you can get something a little nicer.

I'm so happy!

I've been saving up to try this for ages.

You're way too modest.

What do you usually eat?

(Weird Food Rice Bowl) "Weird Food Rice Bowl"?

Who'd want to eat that?

"Dried mullet roe, shirako, and sea squirt."

(Beep)

(Summer Vegetable Set Meal)

What did you order, President?

Oh, um... the summer vegetable set.

You work out and eat healthy, too? You're so disciplined.

Yeah. The vegetables are especially good this time of year.

Eggplant, for example.

Oh, Hisako!

The usual special beef bowl today? I'll give you an extra-large serving!

And that's how she ended up with an extra-large serving.

(An Extra-Large Serving After All) Let's eat!

What's wrong, Michinoku?

Th-the little flag...

Huh?

Oh!

It's delicious...

Excuse me, could I have a flag?

Whoa, a tomato!

(Cherry Tomato)

I hate these.

The inside's all mushy and slimy, but the skin's weirdly crisp.

Didn't you order it yourself?

Here, I'll eat it for you.

It's fine.

Someone's treating me to lunch...

So I should eat it.

At least you've got the right idea.

It's good, though.

But summer vegetables alone aren't quite enough with rice.

Oh, I brought some pickles.

I made them myself. Please, have some.

You made these?

Then I'll try a little.

Yum!

There's this way to make rice-bran pickles in a food container.

So I thought I'd give it a try.

Mmm, these are Ume-licious!

Ume's pickles. - Pickles.

Is something wrong?

Are you full already?

Oh, no.

I was just watching everyone enjoy their food.

And thinking I'm glad I treated you all.

Guess I'm full in more ways than one.

Hisako...

Then I'll take the fried chicken on top!

I wish Arisu could've joined us.

Did she have something else to do?

Yeah.

(Chemistry Club) She's got some club stuff to take care of.

She's in the Chemistry Club, right?

That's impressive.

She's always working right through break.

I wonder if she ever gets to eat lunch.

Oh, isn't that Arisu over there?

Huh?

(Sneaking Away) Oh, yeah.

But what's with that...

(Plop) Why's she sneaking around like that?

That's the Exotic Delicacy Rice Bowl!

Huh? Really?

Terui ordered that?

I don't have the guts to go say hi.

Terui probably needs a way to unwind, too.

And so, everyone got to see another side of Terui.

(I Actually Like Ponytails)

(Student Council Room) Take a look at this.

Huh?

The Light Music Club next door is too loud?

(Tea Ceremony Club (British-Style))

Yes.

That's right.

But the Light Music Club has to practice, so there's not much we can do.

No, please hear me out!

It's not just ordinary noise.

How do I put this? There are screams.

Like someone being bullied or something.

Bullied?

It's hot...

Then that's serious!

Ah, but that's not quite it!

It's not exactly ordinary bullying.

It's more... passionate and a little lewd.

You know, the kind of stuff below the belt.

Below the belt?!

(Episode 4: Koki and the Light Music Club)

(Light Music Club) Still, even if that's the case...

How am I even supposed to check?

Everyone's busy.

I don't think I can handle it alone.

Besides, when it comes to the Light Music Club...

Whatever. I'll go in first.

I'm getting used to this.

Excuse me!

♪What they call love♪

♪Sometimes falls apart...♪

A clear, beautiful voice rings out under the autumn sky.

A breeze blows through...

And that tapping foot...

So cool.

♪There's no answer there♪

♪But if it's not you, it means nothing♪

Hmm?

Oh!

What's up?

S-sorry!

I got a little carried away watching.

Can you play?

Huh? You mean guitar?

I tried it once a while back...

Hmm?

Come sit here.

Huh?

Like this?

Yeah.

Not bad. You're starting to look like a guitarist.

What's going on here?

I'm Koki.

Thinking of joining the club?

Huh? Uh...

Well...

Quit making it all romantic! - Quit making it all romantic!

I can't let this slide.

And don't let her reel you in!

She knew you'd show up, so she started pretending to play guitar!

That's not true!

She always tries to look cool when she's alone.

You're hopeless, too.

Don't fall for this pudding-head's little act!

Still, make sure you get some good shots!

Not bad. You're starting to look like a guitarist.

Yeah, good thing we let them have their moment.

You guys... - Not bad. You're starting to look like a guitarist.

Aren't you on the Student Council?

What are you doing here?

Uh, well...

Here about the club budget again?

Oh, so that's what this is about...

Huh? You forgot already?

He confiscated your dirty magazines before, remember?

Oh, she's really trying...

Acting all high and mighty, lecturing someone who knows her embarrassing secrets.

She's gotta be dying inside.

Stop narrating me!

I'm here because someone complained about the noise...

Noise?

We're the Light Music Club. What do you expect?

Well, that's true, but...

Apparently there's some very suggestive screaming, like someone's being bullied.

W-w-w-wha...

Who would do something like that?!

I see.

But...

What's with all the bedding and tissues?

Huh?

For naps, obviously.

We hang out in here before concerts.

And the tissues are because Koki cries a lot.

Like, full-on sobbing.

I swear, this thing's just for shoulder massages!

You haven't even done anything, and the evidence is already piling up!

(Sniffle)

Oh!

Look what you've done, interrogating her like that!

You've completely crushed Koki's dignity!

I-I'm sorry.

But when you were singing and playing guitar at the same time,

you were seriously cool.

You, honestly.

You can't just say stuff like that.

Quit making it all romantic! - Quit making it all romantic!

B-but, about the singing and guitar...

Shut up, you idiot!

Did you already forget how embarrassed you were?!

In the end...

Mizunoe agreed to drop by and check in, and learn guitar from time to time.

Good work. Sorry I made you go alone.

Oh, it's fine.

Actually, going alone was better.

Huh?

W-w-w-what was that about?

It's so dusty in here.

Tell me about it.

We're on cleanup duty, so they dumped this job on us.

Like PE wasn't exhausting enough already.

Right?

You took a ball right to the face, Michinoku.

I was so worried about you.

Really?

But getting hit in the face doesn't count.

I got to keep playing. It was fun!

Oh. Well, that's good, then.

Okay, all done.

Let's get back to class.

Huh?

It won't open. Why not?

Oh!

Once this door shuts, you can't open it from inside.

Who installed a door like that?!

I've been here since middle school and never heard that!

I get locked in here all the time.

Guess most people don't know about it.

Poor thing.

They decided to wait until club activities started.

But what a coincidence?\ It's almost like it was all planned.

Right?

No matter how hard you try, the door won't budge.

You yell for help, and nobody comes.

Textbook stuff.

And it always happens when you need to pee.

That part's textbook, too.

Wait...

Like right now.

Seriously?!

Come on, let's get this open!

Maybe if we both pull, it'll give!

It's not moving...

Michinoku, give it a little more muscle!

I can't...

You're giving up way too fast!

Sorry, Ume...

I can't...

Don't give up on that just yet!

Let's try that window, then.

I'll give you a boost on my shoulders.

You can get out first.

Use the bathroom, then come back and help me.

O-okay.

Can't reach?

I can't reach...

J-just a little more! You can do it!

I'll hold your legs. Can you stretch up a little more?

I can't...

W-why not?

If I stand up right now,

I'll pee myself.

Don't pee yourself!

Oh, crap...

Don't clamp your legs around my neck!

Hang in there! You're a girl, for crying out loud!

How's it going?

You two okay?

Tan?! How'd you know we were in here?

Just a simple deduction, Ume.

If something scandalous is going to happen, it's always in the equipment room.

So I secretly installed a camera.

For blackmail and resale, obviously.

Deduction, huh?

I didn't expect the door to work like this, though.

Anyway, something must be jammed...

Huh? - Huh?

Oh?

With three of us, we'll find a way out!

I've already tried everything, damn it!

My arms and legs are totally shot...

Too bad. Michinoku's at her limit.

Huh? Is it that bad? Sorry!

Um... Oh!

Hey, I found some tape!

What, you want to tape it shut? You've lost it!

That'll hurt like hell to peel off.

No, thanks.

That's your reason for saying no?

Ume, hold this for me.

No way that's gonna work.

Oh, there's a window over there!

I already tried it, damn it!

We got some great data today, didn't we, assistant?

Yes, senpai.

Huh?

What's that?

Oh!

Oh, thank goodness...

They're mating!

(Whoosh) They're mating!

W-wait a second!

Sure, a weird rumor spread,

but at least she made it to the bathroom.

(They're mating!) "They're mating!"

(The Student Council Leaks)

(Student Council Room) Good work today.

It's so hot today, isn't it?

Hmm?

Goodness, he does seem pretty busy lately.

Hey.

Mizunoe. Hey...

You'll catch a cold if you sleep like that.

(Gently) Darling...

Just kidding!

Good work today.

What are you doing, Kotobuki?

(Garden Eel) Doing a garden eel impression?

No, I'm not!

Anyway, what brings you here, Ms. Hiratsuka?

Oh, right.

It's about our annual event.

You know, that thing... What was it called?

(Boom! Komaro) The student council bonding retreat!

Oh, it's that time of year already.

Yeah, that's it!

That's what I wanted to discuss.

Why's that one sleeping like he's at a hot spring?

Huh?

That pretty face with that getup.

It's kind of hilarious

I know what you mean.

I'll wake him up.

Hey, Ume. Wake up.

Aw, Sis, leave me alone...

Aw, just let him sleep, Sis.

Ms. Hiratsuka?

(Ume Is Awake) Mizunoe's awake.

Ah, sorry about that.

Guess the exhaustion finally caught up with me.

Don't worry about it. I nod off all the time, too.

So, this is about the student council bonding retreat?

That's right.

If there's somewhere you'd like to go, Ume, I feel free to suggest it.

Really?

Then how about a hot spring?

Like the kind Yasunari Kawabata wrote about.

You really love baths, don't you?

Huh? Wait, did I say that before?

Sorry, Mizunoe.

W-what about you, Michinoku?

Yeah, I'd like to try a hot spring, too.

Oh, you don't have to agree just because I said so.

I love soaking in hot water. It makes me feel lighter.

I love hot springs too!

(Smack) Though my boobs are pretty light!

That's enough.

Then it's settled. Hot springs it is!

(Yay, Excited, Giggling, Beaming) Huh? Are you sure this is okay?

Well, I'll have to chaperone the students anyway...

So getting a free hot-spring trip chosen by the students...

(Score! Score!) - That's a pretty sweet deal! - You said the quiet part out loud.

Besides, it's still better than last year.

Huh? Last year?

Last year, Otori wouldn't stop begging to go,

so we went to see Mount Fuji.

I want one!

I'll arrange the lodging, then.

I'll leave the rest to you.

Sure. - Got it!

(Rurubu Travel Guide) Oh, one last thing.

Hmm?

Don't let those teenage hormones get the better of you and do anything you'll regret.

You're all at that age, after all.

That's your last piece of advice?!

Nothing like that is going to happen!

That's sexual harassment, you know.

Is it?

But seeing someone in a more private setting

might be too much for you to handle...

No way!

Or maybe you'll sneak a few touches under cover of darkness...

Who would do that?!

Or take advantage while the other person's asleep!

You've been reading too much manga!

Good grief. What nonsense...

Hmm?

(Puff, Puff) President?

(Puff, Puff) No! I wasn't thinking that...

What's gotten into you all of a sudden? You're puffing like a steam engine!

(Puff, Puff) If you're gonna do it, just don't get caught.

I'm off!

So you're just going with that?!

Did she figure it out? No, wait... - Sis, dinner's ready!

But... - It's so hot!

(Puff, Puff) What's with this room?!
