Tori: Vice President~? I just checked all of the "S3" plans that were submitted today. You should also have a look to see if there’s anything missing!

Keito: Mm-hmm, I’ll check it in a moment.

Tori: Jeez, Vice President, you’ve been saying that since earlier! Not only do I have to do the secretarial work, I also have to do other work as well.

At this rate, it's not even clear who’s the Vice President between us two~?

What are you busy with anyway? If you have any troubles, you can talk to this future student council president ♪

Keito: It’s nothing much, just that it’s been a while since "S3" was first established.

However, even now, we’re still receiving plans submitted by the student body. Additionally, the "Chocolat Fes" which is held simultaneously in idol schools around the world is about to begin soon.

On one hand, I have to review the "S3" plans and start the preparation and operation of the events, on the other, I have to consider the preparations and running of the "Chocolat Fes". To be honest, there’s so much work that it makes my head ache.

Tori: Right, the student council does feel understaffed.

But, I thought this level of work would be a piece of cake for the Vice President, I even thought you would be overjoyed because of this. The kind of feeling like “I want even more work pushing me to my limits~”

Keito: You, what kind of person are you making me out to be…
 

Though, you did guess half of it right. And strictly speaking, I’m stressed over other things right now.

Tori: Hmm? Other things, what could that be?

Keito: … I’m stressed because I haven’t decided what “Akatsuki” will perform at the “Chocolat Fes” yet.

Tori: Ah, is that so… That’s right, “Akatsuki” and Valentine’s Day, it’s true that their concepts don’t really match, huh~

But for “fine”, it’s easier to be told to rest easy.

Keito: Speaking of which, will “fine” participate in the “Chocolat Fes”?

I haven’t received the application form from Eichi yet. And if “fine” doesn’t participate, it’ll affect the number of live audience as well, so I’m also a bit worried about that right now.

In winter, Eichi’s body will be more susceptible to illness. Even if the calendar says it’s technically already spring, the weather as of recent is still very cold.

We’ll also take suitable measures in response if you don’t participate, so if Eichi has told you anything related to this, I hope you’ll definitely report it to me.

Tori: Mhm~ Didn’t you say so yourself, Vice President? That the “Chocolat Fes” is a huge event held simultaneously by idol schools around the world, right?

Tori: It’s a live event that massive, so it wouldn’t be fitting for “fine” to be absent… I’m guessing the President could be resting his body right now just for this event.

That’s why I think “fine” will also participate in the “Chocolat Fes”. If you’re still worried, then why don’t you just ask the President about it in person?

Keito: Yeah, that’s true…

Tori: Hey, Vice President♪ Do you have any interesting manga or books that you think is interesting? Recommend me some if you do.

Didn’t you aspire to be a manga artist in the past?

Recently, I’ve been reading a few books I borrowed from Saru, so I’ve basically finished all of the manga for beginners~

Keito: Mm. Me wanting to be a manga artist is a thing of the past, not to mention I’ve been too busy to read the trendy books as of recent. So, I can only recommend you some slightly older works at most. You don’t mind, right?

Tori: Nope. It’s only since Saru let me borrow his books to read that I got to read manga properly for the first time. Because of that, no matter what kind of manga I read, I’ll always feel new to me~♪

Keito: I understand. I’ll try my luck back home in the storage room. Though I  didn’t think I would be talking to you about this kind of topic.

Tori: Hehe, it’s a strange feeling to me too~

Koga:
Oh, go ahead. Hakaze-… senpai shouldn’t be against~ it either, right?

Kaoru:
Yeah. Because Sakuma-san hasn't arrived yet, we can’t start our practice anyway. Besides, I am also very curious about what is bothering Adonis-kun.

Not to mention, it would be a problem if it affects the ‘Chocolat Fes’. So we have to solve it as soon as possible♪

Adonis:
Thank you.

Actually… I’ve been troubled by the way Anzu’s acting.

When I bumped into Anzu on my way here, she didn’t seem to act natural. Now that I look back on it carefully, she was a bit distant even when we were inside the classroom.

Kaoru:
Anzu-chan was being distant? Adonis-kun, did you manage to cause any trouble?

Adonis:
Is that the reason after all… But I have no idea, so I’m really bothered right now.

If I did anything to make her angry, then I want to apologize for it… but in this situation, what should I do?

Kaoru:
So~ when did you start to figure out that Anzu-chan was acting weird?

Adonis:
It should’ve began around noon today, during the lunch break when Anzu wasn’t in the classroom.

When Anzu returned, I showed her the chocolate that Kanzaki gave me. And then she got nervous out of the blue...

Kaoru:
… Chocolate?

Adonis:
She also asked me different type of questions like, ‘Who gave you that?’ and ‘It’s not handmade, is it?’

It was only when I told her Kanzaki bought it from the convenience store while he was there that she relaxed.

Kaoru:
…

Koga:
Speakin’ of chocolate, I walked past Anzu during lunch break.

Thought I could smell somethin’ sweet~ on her at the time. I was wonderin’ what smell it was, but now it looks like that had to be the smell of chocolates.

Kaoru:
Chocolate… Anzu-chan being cold and distant all of a sudden...

Cou- Could it be…!? No no no, this isn’t possible! No way this can happen!

Adonis:
What’s wrong, Hakaze-senpai? If you know anything, I hope you can share it with me.

Rei:
Kukuku, what a rambunctious scene. Your voices could be heard even from the hallway.

Koga:
Ah, vampire bastard~ Hey, you’re late, you know! Even if you say something like, ‘Night hasn’t fallen yet, I am still drowsy~’, there’s no way I’m gonna forgive you.

Rei:
That was an impressive imitation of me, doggie. Speaking of which, Adonis-kun seems to be troubled by young lady Anzu’s unnatural behaviour as of recent.

Koga:
Huh, so you managed to eavesdrop on our conversation.

Kaoru:
...

Rei:
Kaoru-kun seems to have discerned a possibility, but his expression shows that he doesn’t care to share, hm?

Kukuku, it’s only natural. Young lady Anzu could be giving chocolates to Adonis-kun. Kaoru-kun must have no intention of saying anything about this.

Adonis:
Chocolates… from Anzu?

Rei:
Yes. Young lady Anzu is a girl, after all. It isn’t strange at all for her to want to give others chocolates.

So that’s how it is, the young lady is enjoying her youth properly...♪

Kaoru:
No no, there’s no proof that she’s definitely giving chocolates to Adonis-kun yet.

And Adonis-kun himself wasn’t exactly clear on that either. Even if she was really carrying chocolates around, it’s also possible she’s only keeping them as her snacks, right!?

Rei:
You are trying so desperately in your search of other possibilities, Kaoru-kun. However, it is true that I did not hear it from the young lady in the flesh, so your assumptions may yet hold true.

But, as I have mentioned just now, young lady Anzu is still a girl, after all.

To use such a major event like ‘Chocolat Fes’ as an opportunity to give chocolates to someone would not be peculiar at all.

That child has worked herself so hard for us idols. If she can take this chance to experience the joys of youth, is this not a joyous occasion?
