My, my...
This is troubling.
No one wants to run?
You may even nominate someone else.
I recommend Etoh-san.
I recommend Etoh-san, too.
Me, too.
Etoh-san is very diligent and strong, so I think the position fits her perfectly.
Yes, yes, perfectly.
Could it be that I'm being relied upon?
...or so I thought...
I might've felt it was something worthwhile to do.
And one day...
Hey, you guys!
Clean up properly!
Hey, you're the class rep! You do it!
You guys are on duty today, right?
Oh, so scary!
This ain't worth the trouble!
It's stupid for us to clean up by ourselves now that the boys all ditched.
Then we'll never get done with the cleaning!
I think you can do that, Class Rep!
You're right.
It's the class rep's job to work for the class.
I agree.
That's too much!
This is everyone's classroom!
It only makes sense that everyone helps clean up!
Etoh-san is such a proper and annoying girl.
Huh? Where is everyone?
Mei?
How about Shabu Shabu?
You don't need a license for that.
Yakisoba?
No, that's too common.
Crepes?
No, that's too common, too.
Ice cream?
No, we need to fill their stomachs.
How about salted squid?
No, that's something old people eat.
Rebasashi?
No, not everyone eats that.
Oh! Fugusashi then!
What do you guys think about Fugusashi?
You need... a license to process Fugu...
Ah, you're right...
Besides, we're not talking about the kind of booths we want.
We're brainstorming for a general concept.
Man, that's tough...
Since that night,
the night that she told us we should do our own School Fair,
several weeks have passed.
Now, as the season changes to summer,
we are now in the middle of creating a concept for the fair...
...but...
...we're making very little progress...
...and as for Manabi-chan...
What was that all about?
Amamiya!
Don't run in the hallway.
My brain doesn't think when I sit.
My brain doesn't work if I'm not running.
That's how I am.
So, anyway, bye!
That's nonsense.
It's Manabi.
What's she doing?
She died.
Really?
Manabi-chan! Manabi-chan!
Manabi!
Don't move her body!
She might've hit her head.
Ambulance!
We need to call an ambulance!
Call 115! 115!
That's the number for a telegram!
M-Manabi-chan...
I see it...
No!!
UFO?
And now everything has changed...
In other words, let's get all students to think about this.
Instead of just the five of us thinking, I think better ideas will come up with one hundred people thinking about it.
So, collect ideas from everyone?
But it doesn't seem like anyone feels like taking part in school events.
Do you have some kind of plan?
Forward, GO!
Not that again...
We can go forward all we want,
but we need something concrete.
A promotion.
No...
It's nothing.
Mei-chan!
Tell us, Mei-chan!
Tell us, tell us.
Okay,
the first thing we need to do is to get the students interested in the School Fair.
So, what do you guys think about making a promotion video for that?
A promotion video...
What kind?
The purpose is to get their attention,
so I think anything would work.
Good idea, a promo!
Let's do this promo!
So, I'm counting on you, Mei-chan!
Huh? Me?
Of course, we're all doing it.
Help out, Mei.
Oh yeah, you were good at CG, right?
Wow, CG!
Wonderful, wonderful!
N-No...
I'm not really that good at it but...
All right, it's time to "Promo de GO!"
To prevent weird viruses or worms from entering,
you guys are basically forbidden to connect to the outside, okay?
Okay...
Mei's good...
So, what kind of promo shall we make?
Umm, umm...
You start out with a view of the Earth and, TAA, zoom right down to Japan,
and then, TAA, zoom right down to Seioh,
and then do an "Arise, Fellow Seioh Students!"
I've seen that kind of directing on TV before.
and keep a birds-eye view,
while making the camera angle indescribably high!
You call it... "super" directing, huh?
That kind of effect!
All right.
Hey!
What do you think?
Yes, yes.
That's it, that's it.
Wow...
Looks like her thoughts were really communicated.
Could we go a bit more GAA over here?
Actually, instead of GAA,
how about making more GYUGYUN?
Hmm, hmm.
Ah, yeah, yeah!
And over there, over there,
make it go like, GONG!
All right, how about we all go eat some ramen?
Yeah!
Then, I'll be going home.
No-
W-Wait!
I...
No!
It was a good thing to ask Mei to do this.
Looks like it'll be ready by the next General Assembly.
Yeah!
I feel like we might be able to accomplish this thanks to you, Mei-chan.
She's amazing, right?
She's so fast at creating what I wanted to see!
I saw, I saw!
She was amazing!
If only someone like Mei-chan were on the Student Council...
Yeah, yeah!
If Mei-chan was there, we might not even be needed!
Eh? I'm not needed?
That was a short stint for you.
Why you...
You do it.
Mei-chan, you're definitely the Student Council type.
Like, in the end, you always get us organized and act as a leader.
Etoh-san's annoying.
Mei-chan?
Was the ramen too spicy?
Mei-chan!
Huh? Huh? What?
Mu-chi?
I see.
Something like that happened.
But that was back in elementary school, right?
Well, that just means how traumatic it was for Mei.
I think she might've thought things will end up like back then.
So that's why Mei-chan hasn't been close to anyone.
My one careless comment opened up her trauma?
Will Mei-chan come to the office again?
Mei-chan's not coming, huh?
The number of attendance days doesn't matter nowadays.
She might not want to come until the General Assembly.
What about her cell phone?
No use.
She won't pick it up.
What should we do?
There's no point just sitting around,
so let's try to finish this on our own.
Manabi-chan...
What are we going to do?
We only have two days left!
We even announced that we have an "important announcement" to make.
I knew that we wouldn't be able to do anything without Mei-chan-
Let's make it something easy that we can do.
No!
You didn't have to refuse like you wanted to eat me.
Mei-chan felt that we just pushed her to do everything,
so we need to prove to her that "we're not like that" and finish up what we decided upon.
So we absolutely cannot give up on this.
Besides, if we don't make something everyone is going to be amazed at,
we won't be able to get everyone's interest in this.
I guess so...
We'll be pulling all-nighters starting today, eh?
Let's do everything we can then!
Thank you, guys.
I'll go get permission to stay overnight from Shimojima-sensei.
Will Mei-chan come back?
Hey.
Oh, your room hasn't changed too much.
H-How did you-
You thought I didn't know where your spare key was?
But man, this place hasn't changed at all.
When was the last time I came?
Last month?
Not since entering high school.
That long ago?
Really?
Ah, come over to my place next time.
Dad made a new kind of material.
You haven't tasted it yet, right?
It's a nice piece of work.
He put saury with sticky soybeans-
I've had that already.
Oh, for real?
Oh yeah.
That mafia suspense novel I lent you,
"Go! Marilyn-chan's Adventures", have you read it yet?
Volume four of that series came out-
I bought it already.
You're kidding me?!
Heck, you bought it?
Then, let me read it.
Hmm, where is it...
What are you doing here?
Just looking for that mafia suspense-
I'm not going!
I won't make that promo, either!
You're the one that suggested doing the promo.
Ah, here we go.
You guys...
You guys probably wanted to make an excuse and have me do everything, right?
Hey, why did you decide to attend high school?
The truth is-
Don't talk as if you understand me!
Let me borrow this.
Bye.
Ah, about the promo,
we're working on finishing it on our own right now.
It's amazing!
We're making things turn in 3D and 4D!
If you don't believe me, come take a look during the General Assembly for yourself.
Bye!
4D... what an idiot!
I'm just checking.
That's all I'm doing.
There's no way they can do it.
Embarrass yourselves at the General Assembly.
That's what you guys deserve!
This polygon didn't disappear.
Ah, you're right.
They really continued to work on it...
...4D?
Ah, Mu-chi!
Where'd you go?
Dinner?
I had to do something.
This is none of my business.
I fell asleep.
They're probably not there anymore.
No one would be there at a time like this-
I'm so sleepy...
Mu-chi, come on!
Let's get some coffee.
Let's take a little break.
Agreed.
Me, too.
Okay, black coffee then?
Give me a very strong one.
Get me one, too.
Why...
Why are they...
Why are they going so far to do this?!
Hey, about Mei...
I understand that you want to complete the 3D stuff Mei created,
but why are you so concerned with Mei?
Because you want her in the Student Council?
No, it's not like that.
I don't really talk to Mei-chan that much, so I'm not sure.
But I always ask...
...why is Mei-chan attending school?
Mei-chan is good at everything she does.
Nowadays, there are many ways for people to make a living even if they drop out of school.
So, I think Mei-chan is attending school in search of something.
Something, as in?
I don't know.
But, it's not just studying.
I mean, she came to help us.
When no one else was interested in the Student Council,
Mei-chan helped out.
I... I...
I want to become her friend.
I want to become friends with Mei-chan.
I want to eat lunch with her,
to study with her,
to have fun with her,
to have worries together,
to spend time together.
I want to spend these precious three years with Mei-chan!
Then...
Then someday I can ask her.
"Have you found what you were looking for?"
I want to be able to hear her answer...
...by becoming Mei-chan's friend.
What do you think?
That's fine; it's just like you.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Well, let's get working again.
I...
I w...
I wa...
I want to-
I have found what I've been looking for.
No, I'd found it already.
What's the matter?
No, nothing.
White pig...
No, not that...
It's fish cake...
Maybe three people will come...
Oh no!!
W-We fell asleep!
M-Mikan-chan!
Mu-chi!
What are we going to do?!
What is this?
This is...
That girl...
It's the little people!
It must be the little people!
The little people came out while we were sleeping-
Sure.
For this year's School Fair,
instead of telling you what you should do,
we want to give you the freedom to do this or to do that...
...and let you decide on your own plans.
Mei-chan didn't come after all.
I guess it'd be awkward for her.
So, to begin, we at the Student Council,
made a promotion video to ask you "what do you think of this kind of School Fair?"
Please have a look.
Those girls made this?
Apparently.
What's wrong?!
I-I don't know.
Huh? Huh?
It's no good.
Why did it freeze?
Is it...
Is it my fault?
Hey, should we temporarily postpone the Assembly?
No!
I will not...
I will not give up!
We'll probably... have to postpone.
Yeah...
I won't give up.
Because... Because...
Manabi-chan...
Mei-chan!

Enter!
Wow...
Hey, Momo.
I won't be asking you "where in the world were you?" when we had a lot of trouble.
But, what are they doing?
A victory pose, apparently.
How stupid.
Gosh.
But, you actually made all that CG in one night?
I was late, though.
Huh?
It wasn't the little people?
Ow.
And thus, the General Assembly ended successfully.
And there was one more bit of good news...
