I can't believe this...
I mean, this is so sudden.
What's going to happen now?
What can you expect to happen...
...it's already a decided matter.
Shimojii, you traitor!!!

Opening Ceremony of 2nd Semester of Academic Year 2035
Umm...
Episode 8
Seioh Student Council, to Fight!
And so,
our Seioh High School will be merging with Aikoh High School.
Many of the details have not been decided yet and may not be announced...
...but we will take up the responsibility to...
Wh-What's this all about?
...make the transition as good as we can for the students.
Like I'd know!
Concurrent administration, probably.
But this is pretty sudden.
So everyone, please rest assured...
...and put your efforts in your studies like you have been.
With this merger,
we have a sad announcement to make about the School Fair.
I understand that you're angry.
But, it's not just the cancellation of the School Fair,
we teachers didn't even know about the whole merger until today at the ceremony.
Let's calm down a bit and talk-
Oww, oww, oww...
Give up?
Give, give, give, give!
Continue.
I'm going to break it!
Ow, ow, ow!
Do it!
Stop!!!
That is quite enough.
Principal!
I take full responsibility for all this.
Even though the number of students has been decreasing,
we didn't do anything special to change, and things have come to this.
While other schools focused on allowing students to get employed at prestigious companies...
...or have focused on specializing in obtaining certifications...
...I have sat down and insisted on tradition...
...being nostalgic about the past.
As the administration deteriorated down to this point,
I was not able to take any action.
The 52nd Student Council Body
I was a Student Council President, too.
The 52nd Student Council Body
I'm sorry.
I don't think that would be possible.
Please don't say that; I beg you!
Taka-chan, go ask your Superintendent, too!
We'll go, too!
Please? Please?
To be honest,
I knew about today's announcement beforehand from the Superintendent.
I couldn't tell you.
Forgive me.
I have tried to persuade the Superintendent many times about the School Fair already,
but it was all in vain,
I just learned about the School Fair being cancelled; that's it.
I'm really sorry.
Thank you.
You tried to step in for us, right?
So, thank you.
Thank you.
Bye then.
Okay.
ARGHHHH!

SHUGOHHHHHH
DEFEAT THE ADMINISTRATION!
And so!

ARGHHHH!
ATTACK TARGET
SHUGOHHHHHH
DEFEAT THE ADMINISTRATION!
My fellow students.
I love this school,
and this school that I love, because of extremely shallow administrative decisions,
has come to a situation where it has no choice but to be merged with other schools.
DEFEAT
The rapidly decreasing child birth rate,
the transition of ideologies,
the changes in societal circumstances, and etc.
All these aspects that surround and worsen our school's environment should be accounted for, as well,
but our "reminiscent doctrine",
what our conservative educational environment's decadent thinking has given birth to...
...and obstructs our future, is the reason we have collapsed. Isn't that what the M&A school is telling us?
The administration is trying to impose a part of that responsibility on us.
They are forgetting about their indolent thoughts and actions,
sugarcoating their vested rights and profits with flowery words like "for the survival of the school",
and plotting to cancel our School Fair with all these lies!
What is it that we want?
Not an apology!
Not a compromise!
Our School Fair.
Yes, our School Fair!
A great person once said this:
"Leave our posts and leave the city."
Another person said this:
"Look, look, these are my bones."
And after an intensive battle, a young boy said this:
"I still have a place to go back to."
What we want isn't delicious food...
...or clothing that overnight millionaires fund with their allowances.
We want our School Fair!
We desire our exciting and wonderful School Fair!
Let's make our School Fair the greatest School Fair, the Great School Fair of the 21st century!
The Great School Fair that has creativity and innovation that one couldn't imagine even a second ago!
Let us become the All-School Fair Fighting Union that represents the entire student body of Seioh High School...
The All-School Fair Fighting Union
...and stand up against all obstacles and conspiracies!
P e a c e
and
S a f e t y
All-School Fair Fighting Union
Cannot be tolerated!
Tyranny
We, the Student Council,
against this one-sided and tyrannical request of canceling the School Fair the administration has put forth,
declare that we will stubbornly and firmly...
...fight against this until the very, very end!
Re-volt!
TAKE 'EM DOWN!!!
Re-volt!
Oh, she's going for it!
Ouch!
For now,
I've requested an appointment with Aikoh High School's Superintendent through the Principal.
Nice, Mei-chan!
Mei's the best!
And one more thing.
I made something like this.
A petition to take back the decision of canceling the School Fair
Please Don't Cancel Our School Fair
"Please don't cancel...
A petition to take back the decision of canceling the School Fair
Please Don't Cancel Our School Fair
...our School Fair"?
We need a petition campaign!
I'm sure we're not the only ones that are disappointed by this announcement.
We need to bring in everyone's voice!
If the voices for making them take back the decision of canceling the School Fair are high,
then we'd be able to rally under one flag to fight against them!
If we could change the structure of this confrontation...
...from "Student Council v. Aikoh High School's decision"...
...to "Public opinion v. Aikoh High School's decision"...
Tyranny
Cannot be tolerated!!
Let's revive the School Fair with our own hands!

The School Fair was our very own festival.
That festival has been one-sidedly and suddenly cancelled without any consultation with us.
This is just wrong! Cruel!
We can change this cancellation with our own hands!
After coming all this way,
I'm not going to let this get cancelled!
Let us fight together!
With our own hands!
Let's Revive the School Fair
F r o m F r i e n d s

If you care even just a little bit,
please sign our petition!
Let's make them take back the cancellation of our School Fair!
We need all of your help!
Things are going smooth, smooth!
At this rate, we can revive the School Fair in no time!
Yeah!
Then, to celebrate the fight that our school put up,
let's go party at Ajihana!
Agreed!
The Ajihana dinner we had that night...
...was more delicious and happier than usual, but...
Let's Revive the School Fair

Gosh!
Why?!
Contrary our predictions,
our petition campaign quickly lost momentum.
To Buddies
From Friends
Hey, hey, are you going to come to the dance event in front of the train station this weekend?
I don't know yet.
I don't like the fact that it coincides with my tournament.
Gosh, can we stop talking about this?
Honestly, I think it's just a waste of time~
Besides, if we sacrifice our club time to participate in this campaign and if it doesn't work out in the end, how will the Student Council take responsibility for our lost time?
Exactly!
What's the matter?
A series of uncharacteristic plays from you, Mu-chi.
Sorry.
Fight-o!
But honestly, it's a relief for us that the School Fair got cancelled.
After all, helper Mu-chi-sama is Seioh Athletic's star-
S-Sorry...
It's okay.
Bye.
I'm home.
Wow, even Oniichan has a girlfriend...
A cheerful topic to talk about in these dark times!
Can never underestimate this guy...
You son of a gun!
That hurts, Manabi.
You son of a gun!
Manabi, that hurts.
You son of a gun!
Please take care of my inexperienced brother.
Kiyokawa Kyoko.
Pleased to meet you, Manabi-san.
Yes, same here.
Hm, how do you know my name?
So, what do you do for work?
I serve as Superintendent for Aikoh High School.
What?
Superintendent for Aikoh High School.
Let me stay here from now on.
Manabi-san got angry.
I didn't know about this at all.
Is it going to be a blow to our relationship?
There's no point in saying that.
I can't help the fact that I'm in love with you already.
How sweet of you, Takefumi-kun.
Hey, what kind of a person is Manabi-san?
What kind?
She's had to move around all over the place because of our parents' work.
She might be a bit weird.
What kind of places has she been to?
Umm...
Lebanon, Cambodia, Malaysia, Guiana,
Madagascar, Israel, Tibet, Tonga,
then...
Sh-She's pretty well-travelled, isn't she?
Her personality allows her to make lots of friends,
so I'm sure she's doing fine.
But since she transfers away immediately, all those things get reset.
So, I think school is a very important place for her.
Though, she's probably not aware of that.
Gosh!
Why did Oniichan's girlfriend have to be Aikoh's Superintendent of all people?!
Wow, they met at an astrophysics conference?
That's so romantic.
That's so NOT romantic AT ALL.
Y-You think so?
Oniichan looked so mellow.
And the girl's eight years older than him.
Besides,
she knew I was Seioh High School's Student Council President!
Yet, she didn't say anything about the School Fair to Oniichan!
M-Manabi-chan, calm down.
Here's what I think; she's a vixen.
An evil vixen spirit has possessed her.
Now, I have to...
Manabi-chan?
I'm sure Kyoko-san has her own situation.
And your oniisan's relationship with Kyoko-san is a separate matter from the School Fair.
Good night, Manabi-chan.
Yes.
So, I shall send her over today after school.
That'd be okay, right?
Yes, goodbye.
Please excuse us.
"The cancellation of the School Fair is a set matter."
"There's no need to meet."
...that was the one-sided situation,
but what made them change their minds?
Well, it's exactly what we wanted.
By the way, Amamiya,
you sure you don't need me to accompany you?
Yes, for this is a personal issue.
Aikoh's Superintendent was apparently willing to listen to what we had to say.
Will Manabi-chan be all right?
It had been two months since Manabi-chan transferred.
The nomination for Student Council President...
The renovation of the Student Council office...
These two months had been wave after wave of events.
What's going to happen from here on?
I can only do what I can do.
Student Council Log
Things will be okay, right?
Things will work out, right?
Manabi-chan.
Sorry about yesterday.
Did it bother you?
Takefumi-kun was worried sick, so please go back home as soon as possible, okay?
Gosh, Takefumi-kun is so sweet.
Youngsters these days are so obvious in "making kindness part of their repertoire" that it just annoys me,
but Takefumi-kun's is genuine!
Gosh, he's so cute.
So cute, I want to eat him up.
Why you!!
You vile vixen!
I'll n-n-n-n-never admit your relationship with Oniichan!
Wh-Why you-
Eat him?! Is your brain screwed up-
Let's get down to business.
You want me to take back the cancellation of the School Fair.
That's what you're here for, right?
Yes, that's right.
And why?
That's MY question!
It was going to be the best School Fair ever!
Why are you canceling it?!
Because it's just a little fun event that has nothing to do with the duty of students.
I object! I object, your Honor!
To throw out the term "duty of students" without getting any criticisms...
...is just wrong in my opinion!
That may be.
Then let us assume your School Fair is really a new possibility...
...that can bring a new side to what the duty of students should be.
But I still think the cancellation of the School Fair was the right decision to make.
Why?!
Because I don't hear other students saying, "Please don't cancel our School Fair".
Why? Why?
Because it's already set and done.
We can change that!
Weren't you looking forward to the School Fair?
I was, but...
But, see, there's a dance event in front of the train station next week.
There are plenty of other fun events.
You don't have to be so stubborn about the School Fair.
Right?
"We have to do the School Fair."
"There's a need to do it."
Isn't the Student Council the only one that thinks that way?
Gosh.
Excuse me.
Superintendent,
the talk...
It just ended.
Is it going to be cancelled?
I don't know.
Whether the School Fair will be cancelled...
...or whether it will be revived...
it's up to Manabi-san and her Student Council.
What does that mean-
Sorry.
Hello?
Ah, Takefumi-kun!
Don't worry so much; it's all right!
I told her to go home,
so don't let out such a worrisome voice.
You'll make me sad, too.
Should I poke fun at her?
...or something like that!
Ah, Manabi.
How did it go?
It's getting cancelled...
...After all?
P r e s u m e d I n n o c e n t
I won't let you.
I won't...
I won't let you cancel the School Fair!
You're just like a child.
You make all kinds of noise if your wish isn't granted.
Very well.
If you're going to go that far, I will give you guys one chance.
70 percent.
The petition to appeal the decision of the School Fair.
Gather at least 70 percent of all students' signatures on the petition within one week...
...Eh?
Prove that your School Fair is something everyone really wishes for...
...Eh?
What an unreasonable request.
But...
Our chances aren't zero.
The School Fair that all of our buddies are creating...
...will definitely be fun!
They should all be able to understand this!
People...
We don't have much time,
but are you guys ready?
Then, let's go!
