That's why... I'm...
Don't worry. It's all right now.
Senpai.
Ken-kun.
Since your kanji is "key", I guess you're Key-kun.
Just as the name implies, it seems you have a hard lock on your heart.
Many times, you may feel the heart's wound is healed when it's not.
Even if you think you're over it or even if you think you're better.
So... you have to let loose all your emotions at times.
All the thoughts in your heart...
...that you've let pile up.
The memories that quivered as I lost my way are so fleeting.

The Student Council's Discretion
Softly, as it floats from the sky,
フワリフワリ空から

upon the gentle breeze I placed my feelings for you,
あなたにだけ教えたいよ

with the hope that you alone can understand them.
優しい風に乗せた想いを

I want you alone to forever hear

those words I've wanted to be able to convey;
あなたにだけ伝えたい言葉は

"Fate's gift to me was you"

A continued reflection of the unforgettable vista,
夕闇の色永遠に

is now coloured the shade of dusk.

The memories that quivered as I lost my way are so fleeting.

I pray they won't disappear.

Within my heart is a treasure,

that gradually fades with time.

Will you become aware of our fate?

Otherwise the memories can be forgotten, right?

Hekiyou Academy Student Council Meeting Records
My Student Council
Succeed the wisdom of our ancestors, and only then will the future be bright!
Therefore, today, we will all read books.
Eh?
We're all already reading books.
I'm always reading books without you having to tell me.
Mafuyu not only reads books but also plays games.
Then I'll have a snack.
What is this competition about?
Books are great, don't you think?
Which one of these are BL?
Our library doesn't have books like that!
Eh? How sad.
Boohoo.
Here is one.
There is?
"Run, Melos!" by Dazai Osamu.
That's BL?
You don't think so?
To Mafuyu, it's one of the classics.
What are you going to read, Pres?
This, of course!
Little Red Riding Hood
I wouldn't want you to be so proud.
You're such a child, Sugisaki.
When you become an adult, you'll find yourself back at picture books.
Adults work like that.
Why are you looking at me with such a pitying look?
You're sure you went through different stages and came back to it, right?
Of course. I read multiple difficult stories and then came back to it.
Game Square: The Tortoise and the Hare
I started with "The Tortoise and the Hare".
Game Square: Umbrella for a Jizou
I gradually increased the level of difficulty and recently finished "Snow White",
Game Square: Hanasaka Jiisan
Game Square: Snow White
Then just returned to "Little Red Riding Hood".
Game Square: Little Red Riding Hood
See how mature I am?
Game Square: The Tortoise and the Hare
That was a very small cycle.
Game Square: Umbrella for a Jizou
Little Red Riding Hood is very deep.
You might not know, but you eventually find out that the girl and the grandmother are related by blood.
Everyone knows that.
Oh, and the wolf is the bad guy.
That's beyond question!
So this time around, I'm going to read into the relationship between the grandmother and the wolf.
I think they're the victim and aggressor.
Minatsu.
What are you reading?
This.
Our fight is just starting!
Reading action comics, huh?
The Pres reads picture books, so what's with the surprise?
You should read your choice of book, too.
I can't think of a comeback to that...
But I'm not in the mood for an action comic right now.
I have something else, too.
Like this.
What's that?
Chizuru-san gave it to me, and it's filled with the names of criminals.
Hey! Have you possibly started to see things after holding that?
Like something that flies?!
Yeah, I do. He's right there.
He's still here?!
Mafuyu-chan.
Yes?
Nakameguro.
Sugisaki-kun.
Please continue with your reading, Mafuyu-chan.
Period.
That's all? Mafuyu's time ended quicker than others, didn't it?
So, Chizuru-san.
Senpai!
Please ask Mafuyu more questions!
Talk with Mafuyu more so your meter within Mafuyu goes up.
You're right. I did say I would finish your route, didn't I?
W-What is that face that looks like the moment the main character gains confidence?
Mafuyu doesn't want to be talked to only after you gather so much courage!
Mafuyu wants to be treated normally.
Okay, then let's try normal.
I fell asleep in my kotatsu last night, you know?
It is normal. But that's not like you at all.
Then...
Mafuyu-chan. What color is your underwear today?
It's...
That is like you, but that's not what Mafuyu means.
Then...
Senpai!
Okay. Let me get ready.
What kind of books do you usually read, Mafuyu-chan?
Mafuyu reads BL.
I think you need to reflect upon yourself, too, and not just me.
There's nothing wrong with Mafuyu.
You're not comfortable with men, right?!
That's why Mafuyu's trying to learn about men via Mafuyu's way!
I don't think reading BL will tell you anything about real men.
Mafuyu doesn't want to hear that from Senpai, who tries to learn about girls though H-games.
But love in H-games is between guys and girls!
It's closer to normal!
Gender doesn't matter in love.
I don't think narrow minds like that are good!
It's the Akihabara-East Ikebukuro Wall that's never going to come down.
It's a form of kin animosity.
Wait. Why is Mafuyu so passionate about this?
Don't ask me.
There's no point in forcing Mafuyu's hobbies on Senpai.
I'm sorry, too.
But it would make Mafuyu happy if you came to like BL.
Last but not least, Chizuru-san.
Book: Ten Ways to ELIMINATE that Annoying Person
I'm so sorry!
Oh, you mean this book?
Come on. I wasn't reading this with doing something to you in mind.
I see.
I won't be eliminating you peacefully.
Someone save me.
I'm only joking.
Why would I ever do something so cruel to you?
Right. If I think about it, you wouldn't do such a-
I'll teach you the pleasure found at the end of pain.
Please give me the time to write a will, at least.
Ten Ways to ELIMINATE that Annoying Person
Gosh, you make everything a drama.
Ten Ways to ELIMINATE that Annoying Person
I was only inspecting why such a book is in our library.
Love Fortune Encyclopaedia
The book I actually thought about reading is this one.
Love Fortune Encyclopaedia
You're interested in love fortunes?
Love Fortune Encyclopaedia
Yes. I like it.
Love Fortune Encyclopaedia
Unexpected, right?
Love Fortune Encyclopaedia
Images of her cursing people fits her more than fortune telling.
Aka-chan's voice is high, so it's easy to hear.
Well, how about you take a moment to determine the chemistry between you and me?
Sure. First...
Tell me how many mosquitoes you have killed to this day.
I don't remember such a thing!
What a cold-hearted person you are not to keep your mosquito kill count.
Nobody does.
So, the chemistry between you and me, who has killed 600 million to this day is...
"You're likely to argue over how one doesn't keep count of such things."
Hey, it's correct.
I'm sure it is.
Read
Books!
Then let's try something else.
Key-kun, show me your left hand.
Like this?
Now grab any finger you like with your right hand.
Hey, this sounds like a psychology test.
I'll choose the middle finger then.
Using your right hand, pull back the middle finger with all your might.
With my right hand...
It'll break!
Fine, here's something easier.
Piranha fortune telling.
That's really hard.
Then kiss fortune telling.
Kiss a person you like, and if she shows a positive response, then it's mutual.
That's no longer fortune telling!
How about roommate fortune telling then?
Become a roommate with a person you like to see how well it goes.
That's not fortune telling either.
You're so selfish.
Then how about handshake fortune telling?
Sure.
You're not using this to hide a "finger-breaking" fortune telling, are you?
I won't lie.
Okay.
So, Chizuru-san?
What is she up to?
I don't know.
Um, how long do we do this?
I don't know.
You don't know?
You don't like this? You want to touch me at all other times.
Well... that's true, but...
Ehem.
*stare*
Hey, why don't we start doing something else now?
Um...
Yes?
Nothing.
God, you're in the way!
I want this book!
More like, how long were you going to hold her hand?
You're a complete freak.
Hold on. I was just-
They'd usually let go by then, even if it was fortune telling.
So he is indiscriminate after all.
Mafuyu's sad.
What? I'm at fault?
What's the matter?
The result of the fortune telling is out.
The first person to jump in is jealous.
Jealous?
Yup. It was a funny fortune telling, right?
Wait! That's wrong!
Why would I be jealous?
True. I'm keeping the Pres route available at all times.
You keep your mouth shut!
There you go again.
Seriously, don't get the wrong idea!
But, that Chizuru-san...
Key-kun.
Thank you.
What?
Chizuru?
Dear Student Council
When did this letter get dropped off?
I don't know.
It's addressed to the Student Council.
Dear Student Council
Miyashiro Kanade
From Miyashiro Kanade.
Miyashiro Kanade
It's a girl.
What are you doing?
I can't read a love letter in front of everyone.
Why is it a love letter?
Her name is Kanade as in "maple!"
And it's a girl!
She's got to be a cutie!
You're jumping to conclusions!
Or, could it be for Minatsu?
Are you yuri?!
Don't take everything toward your world!
It might be a sales notice from Tamukichi-san.
Those letters do not come in the real world.
Miyashiro Kanade
I'm going to read it now, since it's addressed to the Student Council.
D... Deer...
She means "Dear".
Must be "Dear".
It must say "Dear".
Mahiru-sensei.
Duck!
You guys are more obedient than I thought.
Would you not do that every time you come in?
Um, that was addressed to the Student Council.
Don't I have the right to read it as the advisor?
What's written in it?
A love letter to me after all?
You're quick to the point, Sugisaki.
You're serious?!
Yeah, here it goes.
Dear...
Aka-chan.
Don't get my hopes up!
Because my hobby is harassment.
Why are you reading it with an intonation as if you were translating from English?
And Daniel's favorite food is his mom's meat pie.
We don't know anyone named Daniel!
Daniel's hobby is to post what's in his mouth on blogs.
He's crazy.
Stop that and read on!
Fine.
Dear Aka-chan.
It's Kanade. It's been a while.
How is high school?
It's been two years since we got out of junior high.
I'm doing well.
It's sad to not have my best friend around.
Sorry, you never thought of me as a best friend, did you?
I spread bad rumors about you and cornered you into solitude by working with my friends.
Pres...
Sorry we always made fun of you.
You looked like you had an easy life without any worries, yet you had such a hidden background.
Mafuyu needs to apologize, as well.
Mafuyu didn't know you experienced such a hard life despite your childish look.
Aren't you both making fun of me?
Don't worry.
I will always be by your side no matter what happens.
It actually worries me to have you by me all the time.
Besides, the letter isn't addressed to me.
But it says Aka-chan.
That's not me.
I don't even know any girls by the name Kanade.
Then who is the letter addressed to?
It's not me.
It's not for Mafuyu either.
Then...
Aka...
As in Akaba?
I think I was scared.
I was scared of how you slowly fit in with everyone despite how quiet you are.
I was scared of how everyone was attracted to your kindness and warmth.
I thought you would be taken away from me, leaving me alone.
I hated the thought of getting the seat of best friend taken away.
That's why I tried to corner you into solitude...
That's why I tried to give you pain and take your freedom away...
I'm foolish, aren't I?
That's not something a best friend does.
It's my crazy, superficial, ugly heart showing.
Yet you never hated me.
If you had gone and cleared up all the bad rumors and brought my ugly side to light, then you could have condemned me to solitude.
Yet you never did that.
You tried to protect me by not going against me.
That's why...
It's been a while.
It's become autumn, hasn't it?
Yeah.
Um, Chizuru.
I never tried to protect you.
I'm human, too.
If someone does something nasty to me, I get hurt.
If something unreasonable is done, I get angry.
I was bound by hatred, too.
It's not that I didn't go against you.
I was simply hurt.
But...
This scar...
was mended by everyone.
The scar that I thought would never disappear...
They made it disappear as if they'd cast a spell on it.
You're going to forgive me?
You were hurt and suffered the same number of days I did, right?
Well...
I had a feeling you're that kind of girl.
Kanade.
What's that?
It's a sign that means it's the end of the day.
No, that's not right.
It's a wish, hoping it'll be sunny tomorrow, too.
Dear Student Council
W-What should we do? If Akaba-senpai returns...
You're going to tell her that we read it?
That'll make things awkward.
Damn Mahiru-sensei.
She reads to the end and jets out.
Let's pretend we didn't read it.
We should all forget everything.
But that also make my heart-
No worries. We just need to be hypnotized.
Mafuyu didn't see anything.
You can do that to yourself?
But, even if we did hide the fact from her, if she finds out, she'll be furious.
I've seen Chizuru once before when she was seriously angry.
When I ate the last pudding in the fridge...
She squeezed my cheeks for three days and three nights.
Thanks to that, my cheeks became silky smooth.
You're so right.
It ended up like that because it's you.
Replace you with Ken.
The word that comes to mind has a "meat" radical.
Dear
Sis
Beloved sister of mine.
By the time you read this, I may already be dead.
Your memory must have been tampered with by a woman named Chizuru and is without me.
What's wrong? An earthquake?
N-No, we were all talking about you.
Minatsu!
Sorry! I just couldn't lie knowing how scary she is.
Talking about me?
About what?
Like wondering what your junior high days were like.
Mafuyu-chan!
Sorry! Sorry!
Junior high days?
Rather than that, we need to have a meeting.
Nice, Pres!
What a precise action to take!
Sure. What's today's agenda?
How about over problems regarding bullying?
You're only Pres in title!
You let your mouth slip, too!
Beside, the one who actually read the letter is...
Oh. So you did read it.
Then...
Yup. I left it here hoping you'd all read it.
Dear Student Council
I purposely addressed it to the Student Council.
Why?
I don't know. I just felt that I'm fine now.
Key-kun. Handshake fortune telling.
Okay.
Well?
You've become calmer.
Is your scar...
...all right now?
What was that for?
You're the one who jumped in.
Mafuyu is not bothered by handshakes.
You're lying! I was definitely pushed!
Please don't worry.
My only goal is the harem route.
That's not easing my mind at all!
More like, I won't be borrowing your hand!
We have the result of the fortune telling.
In the end, Key-kun is indiscriminate.
I see.
Wait, me?!
It's something we all know without having to be told.
What a boring punch line.
Hey, that's not right. It's what the fortune telling says.
Oh well.
Today's Student Council!
Finito!
Let's loosen up our hearts with the right kind of tears....
