Why me?!
You said that you'd help.
Yeah, give up already, Ooshima.
Don't even try to back out now, Ooshima.
Non-chan will support you in every way she can!
I'm here for you too, Yuuki-senpai.
Yuu-kun, I think you're the perfect man for the job.
Not you too, Mii-chan!
I'm not cut out to be a Student Council President!
Right? Don't you agree, Morishita-san?
Normal.
So it's unanimous, huh? I had no clue you were so popular, Yuu-kun.
More like they're just dumping the hard work on me.
The club president orders you, Oojima Yuuki!
Run in the Student Council presidential election to save the Food Research Club!
What?!
Do it.
You're smiling right there, I could even reach out with my hand,

Congratulations on your marriage!
They're beautiful! Thank you.
Next time, you'll be the one coming to our wedding!
Yes, of course!
Make sure you come!
I see you two are in love.
"Love"?
Yeah. You'll understand it when you grow up a little more.
So when the love between you ripens...
Back then, I didn't really know what love was.
And you do now?
I still don't know.
Even though it's so close?
It's not close. I can't reach it.
It's there. You just have to reach out. Try it!
What... are you doing?!
I should be asking you that.
What are you doing? Pervert!
I should be asking you that too.
So it's true that people respond when you answer their sleep-talking.
Huh? Did I say something?
You sure did.
"I love you so much, Chisato!"
"I won't let you go!"
Don't lie!
What's your problem?!
I'm trying to find the person I'm destined to be with, so don't get in my way.
What are you talking about?
Reality is too tough, so I'll settle on finding nice girls in the world of dreams.
Cut the nonsense, and wake up already!
It's Sunday, but we still have a club meeting!
We need to prepare for the election too!
I ain't going to no club.
What?
I'm quitting the Food Club,
and hence I am not running for the election either.
That will be all!
What?!

So our only way out is for Ooshima to become the Student Council President and reject the bill, right?
He said that he's not going to.
Huh?
He said that he's quitting the Food Club.
What?!
Jeez, they always push everything onto me.
There's no way someone like me would get elected—
Coming through!
Oh, Ooshima-kun!
Long time no see.
Oh, Matsuri-san!
See you!
Wait, Matsuri-chan!
Oh, Oojima-kun, long time no see!
Oh, Ayumu-san!
Long time no see, Ooshima!
Oops, I meant, Oojima.
Okay.
I finally run into some girls, and it's Ayumu-san's group of all people.
So close!
Well, it's not like people bump into pretty girls that oft—
Ouch...
Oh, I'm sorry!
Are you all right—
You're the Finance Commissioner.
I'm so sorry. Are you sure you aren't hurt?
Yes, I should be fine.
Really, I'm so sorry.
You don't have to be so apologetic.
Huh?
I'm at fault too since I was riding at a speed in which it was difficult to stop.
Don't you agree, Ooshima-kun?
Huh? How do you know my name?

Right, I need to get this to the academy quickly.
I'm really sorry.
You apologized again.
Eh? Oh, sorry!
Um, I mean... well...
The value of your apologies drop if you say sorry too often!
Use them efficiently.
Okay, Ooshima-kun?
I understand!
Then I'll make this my last one.
I am sincerely sorry.
I am sincerely sorry, as well.
Um...
Can I clarify one thing?
What is it?
I'm Oojima, not Ooshima.
Oh, please excuse me.
I'm sorry.
This is important, so one more time.
It's Jima. Ji-ma.
Ji-ma, right? I got it.
I'm honored you understand.
You're a funny person.
See you.
Yuuki-senpai is quitting? What is this about?
Why didn't you stop him?
Well, that's because...
All right.
I'll convince him.
We're counting on you.
Yes, hello?
Were you just flirting with me for fun?
My body's not enough for you now?
What are you talking about?
Senpai, please calm down and listen.
The truth is, there's proof of our love in my belly.
You know...
Don't you want to see our cute baby, Yuuki-senp—
It didn't work!
You didn't even try to begin with.
Sheesh.
Lost and Found
Let's see...
All right, I'm counting on you.
You're...
Oh, we met yesterday!
I'm glad I found you.
Isn't this yours?
Oh, yes!
Where did you find it?
I picked it up after we bumped into each other.
I figured it belonged to you.
Thank you very much.
This is the key to my house.
You saved me the trouble of replacing the lock.
I'm glad to hear that.
I guess it was worth coming here in a hurry.
You came here for this even though it's Sunday?
Oh no, I have a club meeting to attend.
Though I said that I was quitting this morning.
Which club?
It's called the Food Research Club.
All we do is eat snacks, though.
That sounds fun!
Do you have a club meeting, too?
Oh, no.
You see, I'm a financial aid student, so...
Shoot. School regulations prohibit financial aid students from joining clubs.
I have to work at the factory today.
I gotta go! Um, I'll thank you properly for this another time.
Don't worry about it.
You should hurry!
Right! See you, then!
U-Um, if you don't mind, could you tell me your name?
I'm Oojima Yuuki, a second-year.
Oojima-senpai, huh?
I'm Aomi Isara, a first-year.
See you later!
Isara-chan, huh?
Yuu-chan's quitting the Food Club? That's too much for me to take!
Non-chan, could it be that you...
...had a thing for Ooshima?
Non-chan will die without Yuu-chan!
Is it that bad?!
I set the photo we took together as my wallpaper.
Oh, show me!
This is...
an Oojima Roll?
If Yuu-chan quits, where will I get his handmade special, the Oojima Roll?!
Come back, Oojima Roll!
I'm coming across a lot of pretty girls today.
Maybe my luck for chance encounters is looking up!
Oh, another one!
My apologies. I seem to have bumped—
Who are you?
Are you from General Affairs? Or the Finance Commission?
Answer me!
What is this about?
College prep program second-year, Ooshima Yuuki.
Food Research Club.
It's not Ooshima. It's Oojima!
Ouch!
Stay put!
Let him go, you two.
But President...
President?
Just let him go.
But...
I doubt anyone is out to get me when so little time remains in my term of office.
Understood.
Forgive us for the violent treatment.
Due to the nature of my job, I must be prepared for many possibilities.
Even for the possibility of violence, huh?
I really wouldn't be able to handle it.
Oh, are you running in the presidential election?
No, I'm not.
I just have people around me telling me to.
To save the Food Research Club from being forced to disband, right?
How did you know?
I read the list in Candidate Shinonome's manifesto, and Ooshima-kun...
Excuse me, Oojima-kun, your Food Research Club was on the list of clubs to disband,
so I figured that could be why.
You're exactly right.
You still won't run?
There's no way someone like me would get elected.
But that means the club will be disbanded.
I suppose that'd be fine, too.
That's mean!
You could at least show some sympathy!
You've misunderstood. What I was referring to was...
You running in the presidential election, Oojima-kun.
You should vote for a candidate you agree with.
If there isn't one, you should become a candidate yourself.
It's a very natural choice.
But—
The Public Safety Commission will refrain from entering a candidate this year,
leaving only two likely candidates.
Don't you think this is a good chance?
You have my support.
Farewell.
Jeez, what's Yuuki thinking? How could he disobey me, the club president?
I think the best solution would be for you to make up with Yuu-kun and bring him back.
You're making it sound like we broke up.
What's wrong, Michiru?
You don't like chocolate flavor?
I can't really eat it.
You can have them.
Blue.
Huh? Blue?
You like blueberry flavor?
This is fine.
We need to think of something else.
Hey, how about working on achievements now so we won't have to disband?
It's not that easy to create achievements.
My new creation!
Reverse spin prevention mechanism-equipped hyper tornado-shape extra long impact mixer with aero!
Or for short...
...Nero-nero Machine?
Yes, it's the sixth version!
Would that count as an achievement?
I made it even more powerful!
Fold... fold...
Fold it to death... yay!
A perfect Neroneronerone with zero coarseness should be complete!
This is the dream of all Nero-ers!
There is little doubt that the Finance Commissioner will
reconsider her decision to disband our club when she sees this wonderful machine!
Now, let's see this in action!
Non-chan, isn't that a bit too much?
All right, switch on!
She went and pressed it.
The club will disband if I don't run, huh?
But I gotta win too.
That's...
What's the matter?
Oh, we meet again, Bowjima-kun.
Bowjima? I'm Oojima.
You seemed to consider the "jima" part important,
so I figured it'd be okay to not care about the rest!
It's not okay!
What do you mean by, "Bow" anyway?
You kept bowing the whole time, so I thought it would fit.
Was I wrong?
Yes, you were!
That aside, is something wrong?
The chain came off.
This is a problem.
I have a ton of stuff to do today.
Let me see it.
I think I can fix this.
There we go.
It's fixed.
Your hand got dirty.
Clean it with this.
But then your handkerchief will get dirty.
Just use it.
Thank you.
I should be the one saying thanks.
I appreciate the help.
I see.
A candidate from the Food Research Club.
It's unreasonable, to say the least.
I don't think it's unreasonable.
It could be worth a try.
Not you too, Shinonome-san.
Um, can I ask you something?
What is it?
Why do you intend to disband the Food Club?
Close friends get together and eat snacks at the cafeteria with some tea.
How does the Food Research Club differ from that?
How is that a club activity?
I don't think it qualifies as a club.
That's why I intend to have it disbanded.
Is there something wrong with my reasoning?
No, you aren't really wrong.
You say it so easily.
You're not even devoted to the club.
That's not true!
It's not just me. Everyone in the Food Club loves it and wants to keep it alive!
So...
So what?
So we thought we'd fight in the election instead of just sitting and waiting for it to die.
And? Are you going to run?
No, we're just being desperate.
There's no chance of us winning.
Then here's a question for you.
What do you call the horses that win derbies?
I'd call them... "the strongest horses," I guess.
That's not wrong, but that's not the answer I had in mind, either.
What's the answer?
They're the horses that entered the derbie.
That much is obvious.
But I think horses that don't enter derbies never have a shot at winning one.
The same applies to elections.
The probability of someone who doesn't enter the race not winning is 100%.
And one more thing...
I personally like seeing people put up a fight even when they know they won't win.
Shinonome-san...
I should get going now. Later.
Now I made you listen to my story even though you're so busy. I'm sor—
I mean, thank you!
I was going to call you Bowjima again, but it seems like I missed my chance.
Food Research Club
Only the horses that enter the derby can win.
The horses that don't enter can never win.
Oojima's here.
Welcome back, Oojima Roll!
Thank goodness you didn't break up with Chisato.
You were worried about our child, weren't you?
That's wonderful.
Welcome back, Papa!
Um, what the hell is going on?
We're covered in Neroneronerone because you didn't come.
So this is my fault?
I had some time to think,
and I decided to fight for the Food Club!
However! Since I've decided to run, I want to really try to win.
I don't want to do this just because you're halfheartedly forcing pesky tasks on me.
Do you have something in mind?
How about an intra-club election?
An intra-club election?
Yeah.
Everyone should vote for who they think has the highest chance of winning the presidential election!
I see! That's a pretty good way to do it.
I'm up for it.
Really?
Yep! It's fair, simple, and reasonable.
What do you guys think?
Agreed!
Me too.
Let's see...
When we're actually voting...
...it's not easy to decide.
Guys, before you write down your vote, I want you to listen to what I have to say.
Thinking back, the Food Club has been pretty damn laid back.
All we've done is eat snacks obtained using our club funds and chat.
I'm sure others would think of us as useless, lazy, spoiled, and unproductive all around.
Maybe it's really no surprise that we're on the list of clubs that should disband.
But it's through the Food Club that I came to meet all of you.
You were here whenever I came,
and we would laugh and mess around. It was really fun.
No matter what anyone else says, this is an important place for me.
I don't want to lose it.
So I want you guys to take this very seriously
as you think about the person who would have the best chance.
Someone that all of us would want to support.
Stare.
What is it?
Leaderhip is a requirement.
So is courage.
So is decisiveness when making a choice.
So is the likability that makes everyone want to support you.
Of course, appearance is also important!
Everyone, please vote for someone who can really win the election.
I'm counting on you.
Well, that should do it.

Hooray!
Hooray.
I don't understand what just happened.
Wait, didn't you guys listen to my speech?!
I thought you'd all choose Chisato!
Why?
Wow, I never thought I'd be moved by a speech from Ooshima.
Your speech was great, Ooshima!
It convinced me that you'd do well if you run.
It earned Non-chan's endorsement too!
You were so cool that I almost came.
Huh?
Oojima.
Yes?
Good luck.
I-I dug my own grave!
You're just gonna have to humbly accept the result of this fair election!
Fine.
See you later!
Okay, see you tomorrow.
See, you should've just done as I told you.
I wouldn't have been convinced that way.
No grumbling!
You're my property, after all!
You know, Chisato, I'm not your property or...
Hey.
How about one?
Is it good?
Yeah.
That's good.
kyoushitsu no madobe de nagameru
In the classroom, looking out the window,
yasashii yuugure no sora
Watching the sky fade softly into twilight,
furimukeba kimi ga egao de
I turn around and then you are there
kocchi wo miteta
Looking at me you smile
issho ni kaerou itsu ni mo
"Let's go home," you always say,
toomawari wo shinagara
Even though your home is the other way
mada sukoshi todokanai
Your fingers are just a step away
yubisaki ga tada setsunakute
But deep inside me, it hurts not holding your hand
ano hi kimi to meguriaeta kara
In my heart, I found all these hopes and dreams
takusan no yume wo mitsuketan da
Because on that day we happened to meet
nakitai toki demo
Even when I wanted to cry,
itsumo soba ni ite kurete
You always stayed right there by my side
doumo arigatou
I want to thank you so much
makoto ni kaita himitsu no pe-ji wa
What I wrote on that page I hid from you
tsutetaezu ni ita kotoba
Were the words that I just couldn't say
ima kaze no naka zutto sasayaku yo ne
Now they float forever as whispers on the wind
kiite kimi ga daisuki da yo
Listen close, it says, "I love you so much"
Next Episode Preview
You know how the "you" in youkan uses a character for "sheep"?
Yeah, you're right.
Apparently that's because
it was created when people imitated a lamb dish with beans a long time ago.
Oh, like how nikujaga was created as an imitation of beef stew?
I can see how that came about,
but I wonder what the original lamb dish that youkan imitated is.
Well, that's, um...
Next time, Episode 3: "Strategy."
Since there's the "kan," maybe Genghis Khan?
