Okay? Okay?
But...
Please!
I still don't...
You were so excited about it just a while ago!
Ah, rather than talk about this,
you're going to the festival in front of the station this weekend, right?
Gosh! Don't change the subject!
Good luck, then!
Thanks!
Here's everything those three got for us.
We have 32% now.
38% remaining... a very tough situation for us...
Hurry, hurry!
The scrap show is about to start!
I know!
Okay, let's get started.
Begin!
More, more!
More!
The reconstruction of the grand clock had started.
Depending on its mood for the day, it could be slow, or it could be fast.
That was how bad this 82-year-old grand clock had become.
With the Aikoh merger imminent,
it was to be replaced with a new state-of-the-art clock.
When we heard of the news, we didn't feel anything special.
But...
Let's go...
Yeah.
Fellow students of Seioh,
can you hear my voice?
W-Wait a minute!
I am the clock fairy.
I have watched over this school for 82 years.
I am a very fortunate clock,
for I was able to watch everyone's energetic forms for a very long time.
But even a clock like me has now run out of time.
I will now pass away to the land where clocks go to after they are finished with their jobs.
That time has come.
I have but one regret.
I wanted to see a School Fair one more time.
I wanted to see all of you happy.
It might be too much to ask for a clock like me,
but... but if it's possible,
could you all sign the School Fair revival petition?
Cut! Cut!
Ah, poor, poor clock...
Like I said, not that one!
This one, this one!
Gosh, what a cheap tear-jerking act.
Th-The clock fairy... H-How tragic...
Uhh...
Gosh, it's clear that people that believe in fairies are in the minority!
Besides...
But, there might really have been a fairy.
This must have been divine punishment.
Hello?
Like I said!
Divine punishment took place!
Wow, it's a miracle that only this room got affected.
Really,
there's no other way to explain this but supernatural forces having a part in this.
Thank God, thank God!
Thank you for your help.
Well, basically.
How should I put it...
You have my sincerest sympathy.
Ah, there you are.
Heck, where are we?
A-Aokigahara Forest?
Well, it's been a long time since people last used it.
Ah, this way, this way.
Here, over here.
Seioh School Dormitory.
It's a building from the years when Seioh was still a boarding school,
so it probably hasn't been used for at least thirty years.
Rejoice,
because they're going to scrap this place next April at the time of the merger,
you can use this however you want.
Man, it was tough to get permission for this.
I really wanted to see your happy faces,
so I personally asked the principal...
Hey!
You guys have to accept this!
This is the only place free!
No!!!
This place is so scary!!!
This is divine punishment!
Manabi-chan, this has to be divine punishment!
This was a true story that took place thirty-five years ago.
There was a female student named Kamiya Reiko.
She was having problems in love,
and the path she took after she saw things clearly in the world...
...was a romantic happy ending.
Wonderful, wonderful.
What was that story for?
I just realized...
For what you did last time, are you in the clear now?
I have been released without penalty thanks to super-regulatory measures.
We really don't know where to start with this place...
Let's start with the brooms.
No objections.
Let's go home before the sun sets.
But... I want to get back to gathering petitions tomorrow...
So I'd like us to at least get this place ready.
It's going to be pitch dark since we don't have electricity here yet.
I knew this was going to happen...
The second floor is so dark and really, really frightening!
Y-Yeah... flashlights wouldn't help too much.
Why don't we ask the thespian club for helpers?
Ah, but...
...let's just do this by ourselves...
Right.
We can't really ask for their help in this situation.
The School Fair that everyone takes part in will be so fun!
It will be so much better than the festival in front of the station!
Why doesn't everyone understand this?!
Gosh...
"The School Fair that everyone takes part in will be so fun," eh?
That is should be clear and obvious!
Everyone should know that!
You think so?
A while ago, I probably wouldn't have understood something "should be fun" even if you told me.
I understand it now.
That's because I know the fun in working with friends in an activity.
"From friends to buddies"; I thought that was the best catch phrase,
but we're the only ones that understand the meaning of that,
and it might not have reached everyone else.
Mei-chan...
Ah, there you are.
What are you going to do now?
Nothing really.
How about some donuts in front of the station?
Yeah...
Huh?
What's the matter?
Look at this.
Hurry, hurry!
Everyone's starving!
But man, this place has got the old look.
This is bad, this is bad!
This will require an incomparable job compared to our previous renovation.
Hey, over here, over here!
Let's get started!
And?
What's the plan this time?
You got any blueprints?
N-No, we don't have one yet.
Oh?
Well, it's okay. Decide on one soon.
We're all standing by.
All right!
Let's move everything inside first!
Mei-chan, it wasn't just us!
Yeah!
This is great, right, Manabi?
Manabi?
All right!
Here we go!!!
Everyone, let's do our best!
We have more food coming!
Up next is raspberry pancakes!
All right!!!
What's this?
Wh-Who knows...
Ah, over here!
The new Student Council office that sensei mentioned!
The new Student Council office?
Did I surprise you?
You guys are heading home, right?
We've got some snacks, so why not stop by?
N-No, we're...
Oh?
You didn't come here because you needed something from the Student Council?
I-It's not like that either, but...
Well who cares!
Come on, come on!
W-Wait-
Come on, come on, snacks, snacks!
This place looks completely different now.
Ah, Principal!
It looks wonderful.
Right? Right?
Everyone helped out!
Manabi!
We're going to move those chairs up to the second floor, okay?
Ah, sure!
Please!
Gotcha.
Leave it to us.
Be careful; the stairs are pretty dark!
Sorry for asking you girls, but let's go.
Okay.
Amamiya-san.
Yes?
Do you remember that you said you'd fall in love with this school...
...when you nominated yourself for Student Council President?
When I nominated myself?
"The miracle where people walk through the same youth."
"Cherry-blossom colored futures fly into the sky."
"When we shine, we shine with our friends."
You thought you'd love this school after hearing the school anthem.
Ah, yes!
I thought you said pretty bold words for the first day you transferred into the school.
Has the school caused you to fall in love with it?
Has Seioh made you fall in love with it?
Yes!
Please tell all the students working here...
...to contact their families so that they won't get worried, okay?
Okay!
I'll take care of the lighting, then.
There should be a generator in the warehouse-
Ow-ow-ow-ow...
Shimojima-sensei?!
P-Principal?!
Umm, th-this is... umm...
...not... usage of tools without permission!
I planned on reporting to you eventually,
like casually afterwards...
I mean, properly afterwards.
And umm, the students are working hard, too.
But without lighting, it's really-
G-Ghosts might come out, too, so-
Please, Sensei.
Let these girls use the power generator.
All right! We've got our lighting now!
Let's get back to work!
Okay!
Do you have enough people for the cafeteria?
We have too many, actually!
Actually, they're going to start renovating the second floor now,
so go help out there.
Here... goes...
Rumors spread and spread,
and the number of people that came to help kept growing.
Before we knew it,
the renovation involved not just the cafeteria,
but the whole building.
It covered everywhere we could go.
Damn you, Momo!
Work properly!
Come over here!
One...
Two...
Three...
Umm, here.
If you'd like, have this drink!
O-Okay...
B-Bye...
Do you want to paint this wall together?
Hey, Shimojii.
Why are you working so hard for this?
You mean me?
Actually, a long time ago...
I was part of a student movement.
It had "youth" spelled all over it-
Hey, listen to me.
A bit to the right.
Yeah, to the right, right.
Huh? Which way?
Right?
Is this good?
Not that way, the other way.
Like, a bit over here?
Ah, too much, too much.
Manabi-chan.
It just came to me.
This is like a School Fair, right?
Yeah.
Umm...
Did they get the 70% needed for the petition?
No.
76%.
