We'll never get too used to love.

Right now, everyone's constantly feeling it.

Again today someone loves and is loved.

Love is all around us.

Not getting to see you is all it takes to leave me sad and hurt...

...because love reflects my honest side.

With you there, I could try to do anything.

Those tears you cried for me...

...are always there, keeping me going.

We'll never get too used to love.

Right now, everyone's constantly feeling it.

Again today someone loves and is loved.

Love is all around us.

Jindaiji Temple Kichijoji Station via Rikkyouin

Yah!

Jackpot

Yipee!

You nailed it?

Not right before the entrance ceremony.

Uh-oh, we've gotta run!

What for?

The bus won't wait long!

Don't worry.

Kichijoji Station via Rikkyouin Huh?

Oh cute! Triplets! That's great.

Kichijoji Station via Rikkyouin

Tokino, how'd you know we'd get there in time?

Hmm, somehow or other.

As usual.

Want some strawberry milk, Chihiro?

First Lot: Everyone Gets Surprised at School. 7 pts.

Rikkyouin Academy

This'll probably squeeze the last of my luck out of me.

Not true. You have your share of good things happening to you, Chihiro!

Please form two lines and draw lots!

Good things? Like what? When?

Sooner or later, I guess.

Sooner or later, I guess. Whatever you say.

Whatever you say.

Lots?

Jackpot!

What, again?

So, what'd you get?

Vice-President Look, I got vice-president!

What's yours?

I got...

President ...president.

Congratulations on your appointment.

You two have been appointed as next term's student council officers.

Huh?

You really hit it big this time, Chihiro.

I don't know if that's good or not, though. This isn’t just a lottery, is it?

Excuse me.

Yes, what is it?

Does this mean I will become president...

...and Toki... Miss Akiyama will be vice-president?

It will be explained later.

Okay.

Isn't it kinda exciting?

You sure are easygoing.

Why do you say that?

Here we are.

Good morning! Nice to meet you. I am Tokino Akiyama!

My name is Kaoruko Yamada.

Yama as in Amanokaguyama.

Da as in "ta" in Emperor Tenji's "Aki no ta no kariho no io no."

Kaoru, not as in "perfume," but the first kanji in "zephyr."

Ko as in the second kanji of "gentleman."

You're just an assistant!

Um, are you the one who drew the secretary lot?

Correct.

Renko Kamishakujii. Kami as in...

Renko Kamishakujii. Kami as in... The name of a station in Nerima.

Renko as in...

Renko as in... As in lotus root.

Enough with the prosaic explanations!

Enough with the prosaic explanations! Yes ma'am!

Oh, I'm...

I know! Chihiro Enomoto.

You drew the entrance lot this year and got into Rikkyouin High School.

Indecisive personality.

Extraordinarily bad luck.

Uh... well... maybe.

What about me?

Tokino Akiyama. Also accepted this year; uncommonly prone to godsends.

Personality, scatterbrained.

Personality, scatterbrained. What's my fortune today?

It's not fortune-telling!

Oh, it's not? Then what about you, Renkon?

I'm not Renkon!

Your name's in kanji, then.

Your name's in kanji, then. That didn't even mean anything!

Nice to meet you.

Warning! Warning! Tokino Akiyama.

I hereby recognize you as dangerous individual number one!

You know, this student council feels a bit like...

...when you're walking down the street and a crow suddenly poops on you.

I guess it's pretty serious, then.

Sure it is!

Politics, economics, show business.

Rikkyouin Academy continues to send people...

...with excellent qualifications into every field...

...and being a student council officer is like getting a gold card for life!

Then it's really lucky and an honor!

I can't believe I drew the winning lot.

You're pretty dumb. Listen.

You only get the gold card once you safely clear...

...the one-year apprenticeship term and then a year of the real thing.

Apprenticeship and the real thing?

Apprenticeship and the real thing? That's right!

Sounds like it could be fun!

You be quiet!

You irritate me and throw off my tempo!

Mistress Renko is ill-natured.

If we don't clear it, we'll be deemed unfit and be expelled.

Expelled?

Not demoted to a regular student?

How naive.

Expulsion, through and through.

No...

It's okay. Things'll work out.

They might work out for you, but I think I'm doomed.

Not to worry.

It's joint liability.

So the president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer all get expelled.

Huh?

Um...

President.

Vice-president.

Secretary.

Treasurer?

Treasurer?

No.

Um.

Um. The lots should've been dealt out by now.

The lots should've been dealt out by now.

In other words, what's going on?

What are we supposed to do?

Excuse me.

Hello.

Student Council President

Student Council President Understood. I will tell them.

Student Council President

That was the student council president.

The president?

Yes.

I have your instructions.

I never expected the council to get involved this quickly.

What do you mean?

The student council hereby orders Chihiro Enomoto...

...Tokino Akiyama, and Renko Kamishakujii...

...along with your missing treasurer...

...to report to the student council office within the next 24 hours.

That is all.

Within 24 hours?

Umeya

Welcome.

This place has good food.

I recommend the daily special, the triumph set, and the tricolor soba.

You're at your scariest when you're silent, Mistress Renko.

Shut up! You have no idea how dreadful the current student council is!

Let's see.

Ma'am, I'll have the steamed duck and rice mix set.

The miso-boiled mackerel special.

I will have...

I will have... You'll have water!

Yes ma'am.

Yes ma'am. And you, Chihiro?

Hmm.

Morisoba.

You got it.

Is the current student council that incredible?

They're the best in history.

Leadership, decisiveness, popularity...

...they're said to be tops in everything in Rikkyouin's history!

Do you realize what it means to be their successors?

They're the kind of people who're going to test us.

Wow.

I'm one thing...

...but you ordinary people will never catch their eye!

Welcome home, Koyuki.

I'm home.

Sorry for the wait.

Here's what I think.

The one who was chosen to be next term's treasurer doesn't want to do it.

It'd be better to keep quiet...

...and be a regular student than be driven away from school.

They stayed away on purpose today.

Well, what if we tried to persuade them?

Are you even listening to me?

In any case, we won't get anywhere unless we find our fourth member.

I have an idea.

What?

We'll come early tomorrow and check with everyone we see.

That's stupid, stupid, stupid!

Triple take.

How're we supposed to find them that way?

Well, maybe if we ask the right one, they'll say so.

Ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous!

Another triple take.

I'll have no part in that. Let's go, Yamada!

But, your mackerel.

Holy mackerel!

Why do you suppose they left?

Well, that's a good question.

Expulsion.

I'm home.

Yay, you're back!

I waited so we could both go home!

I waited so we could both go home! I had kind of a crazy day.

I had kind of a crazy day.

So it's true. You were chosen for student council president.

Yeah.

No, no, no! I won't be able to spend time with you anymore!

And just when I thought I could flirt with you both at home and at school!

"Flirt," Sis? You can't do that. You're a teacher.

Oh, yes I can! I really hate the student council!

If you say so.

Kujibiki Unbalance

Wait up, it's dangerous!

If we don't hurry, P-chan's gonna be hungry!

Come on, wait!

Let Rit-chan catch up!

What was that?

You smell nice.

Augh! Sis!

A little longer.

Enough! I wish you'd just sleep by yourself!

Man!

You're selfish, Chihiro. And mean.

Welcome, Treasurer

Welcome, Treasurer Treasurer!

Treasurer!

Are you there, Treasurer?

Treasurer!

Are you the treasurer?

Treasurer!

I'll help.

Sure!

Excuse me, did anyone here draw the treasurer lot?

Four hours left.

This should be fun.

You sure got yourself a mean streak.

None of them was the treasurer.

Maybe they're out today.

Hey, Tokino.

Hm?

If we don't find them by 12:00...

Argh! You're not thinking big enough!

Whir, clonk!

Listen up. The special radar equipped in this...

...will analyze and pursue the faint odor of the ink used on the triangular lots.

We can even discover the whereabouts of whoever holds it!

Your reactions suck! We can find our treasurer with this! Get on!

Oh, okay.

Incredible, Ren-ren!

Don't call me whatever you like! Yamada, let's go!

Yes, ma'am!

That way, for some reason.

Then go, Yamada!

Yes, ma'am!

Yes, ma'am! Hey!

Middle School; Elementary School Go!

What should I do?

Treasurer

Would they be mad if I threw it away?

I found it, so it's up to me.

Are you there, Treasurer?

We've come to get you!

Yamada!

It's obvious she's just a grade schooler!

But my intuition whispers that it's her.

Big sister.

What're you doing? There's no way she's the one!

But...

But nothing!

Big sister!

Locking on.

What for?

Fire!

Big sister!

Uh-oh. Seems I lost her.

Were you even listening to me?

There she is, Yamada!

Yes, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am. Don't!

What?

Well...

...I'll go.

Huh? You with your bad luck?

Then I should go too.

Hol...

Mistress Renko, all that running around made me hungry.

Huh?

Hey.

Wait here.

Chihiro.

It's all right.

P-chan!

P-chan!

It's all right!

You're in there, right?

Answer me.

Aghh, what're they doing? We only have ten minutes left!

I'm sorry we scared you.

We didn't mean to, though.

Are you mad?

I'm not.

Honest.

You've got a winning lot.

Mm.

You're one of us, then.

Eh?

Why don't we give the student council a try?

You know, it might be fun to try.

We'll get to do things we normally couldn't.

I might not be able to.

Why not?

'Cause I'm little.

It's okay!

I have world-class bad luck, so you can help me out.

Can I really?

Yeah!

Let's try, together.

Don't be scared. We got rid of that doggy that was chasing you.

What're they doing?

All that bragging and we've only got three minutes left!

There they are!

Aww!

And next to her was...

Oh no! Time's up!

Let's climb down!

Let's climb down! Oh, yeah.

How many more days is it gonna take us to get to the council office?

Yow!

Go, Yamada!

Hi, everyone.

Get on, quick!

Student council office!

Roger!

Uh, I present to you the four candidates for next term's student council.

Thank you for your efforts.

Because you exceeded your allowed time, you are hereby expelled.

Wha?

But, but, the treasurer lot being in a grade schooler's hands...

...is clearly an irregular complication!

That was part of the 24 hours.

We share in your shame.

Meh.

Ya just ran outta luck.

If ya can't handle a complication this big...

...guess ya weren't cut out for student council after all.

Farewell.

Wait.

It was 12:00 when we issued our orders...

...but it was 12:02 when they undertook them.

We live in an apartment, so we can't keep it.

And my big sister has asthma, so...

Here you went to all that trouble to save it from a mean dog, Chihiro.

Poor P-chan.

I'll keep it.

I'll keep it. Wha?

But Rit-chan, I thought you weren't any good with animals!

It's all right.

I'll try hard.

But...

It's all right.

In light of that delay...

...the four of you are hereby provisionally recognized...

...as next term's student council officers.

Rit-chan?

Hey, on our way home I'd like to wander around a little more.

Let's watch the setting sun's hue between the buildings.

That day, when you said it in your embarrassed voice...

...I suddenly grew fond of my everyday name.

La-la-la-la. Come on, let's sing. Two's harmony.

La-la-la-la. See, that's all it takes to bring our hearts together.

La-la-la-la. If you listen carefully, harmony's always near.

La-la-la-la. Your voice is singing that we're not alone.

Maybe this is love.

Hi, I'm Ogiue.

What was your impression of the first episode, Ogiue?

Nothing in particular.

Nothing in particular. Uh, oh? You didn't enjoy it?

No, it was average.

Nothing more to add? How about pairing up Chihiro and Mugio?

Not interested!

Not interested! W-w-wait a sec.

This undermines the Kujiun meeting's purpose.
