On Monday, during lunch break.
Seiji was rather surprised to learn that Kaori and Mika had become friends who could call each other by their first names.
Last week, they had felt rather distant from each other, but he didn't expect that they would form a new friendship in just one weekend.
Mika's explanation was that they had coincidentally met on the street on Sunday, and after chatting for a while, they discovered that they got along quite well and became good friends just like that. And because she had chatted with Kaori about female oriented anime and manga, she learned about all sorts of interesting things and became even more interested in anime and manga.
New friendships led to new interests, which was a good thing. Seiji felt that this wasn't the case.
But the truth wasn't like that.
Kaori's emotions were rather complex as she witnessed this scene, and she now had a more concrete understanding of real interpersonal relationships.
Putting aside the indescribable feelings, objectively speaking, she now had a new friend, and Mika was able to get closer to Harano and Seigo, and Harano seemed to be happier than ever. Everyone was happy.
So, it was fine as long as she didn't overthink it.
Just as Kaori was thinking this, she heard Harano say...
"I feel like something's wrong."
"Eh?"
'Did he notice?' Kaori instantly became nervous.
"What's wrong?" Chiaki asked.
Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation.
"I became friends with Miyamoto-san first, but it was Mika who called Miyamoto-san by her name first. I feel like something's wrong."
Kaori, Mika, and Chiaki were all rendered speechless.
"In order to correct this mistake, from now on, I'm going to call Miyamoto-san by her name as well... Kaori, is that alright?"
Kaori's heart started beating rather violently when she heard her name coming out of his mouth.
"Sure... sure."
"That's great, you can call me Seigo as well from now on." Seiji smiled.
"Yeah... Seigo."
Kaori said softly, her cheeks a little hot.
"You two are calling each other by their names, so it's a bit embarrassing for me to call you classmate." Chiaki smiled. "So, let's call each other by their names, Kaori."
"Yeah … Chiaki."
Only after the girl said it did she realize that she was on a first-name basis with Twinkle and the other two in the class.
'I'm actually able to do this …' Even Kaori herself was astonished.
After forming a new relationship, the four of them continued chatting and eating their lunches.
Seiji had given a copy of Peach-sensei's drawing to Mika last night, and now he also gave Chiaki and Kaori a copy.
The few of them had a great time chatting about this drawing and the manga and anime of Honey Candy Girl.
"Although I don't really want to talk about this, the final exam is next Thursday. Are you guys confident?"
After talking about anime and manga for a while, Chiaki got down to business.
"I'm fine with it," Seiji answered casually.
"I … don't have much confidence," Mika answered.
"… Me too," Kaori answered.
"Some idiots in our club might fail, so in order to prevent them from dragging down the overall rating of our drama club, the vice president has decided to hold a study session," Chiaki told him. "I've been designated as a participant, and will be one of the mentors."
'Study sessions? This is quite a common occurrence.' Seiji thought to himself.
"If you two aren't confident about the final exam, how about coming as well?" Chiaki asked Mika and Kaori.
"Can people outside of our club join as well?"
"Sure, since we'll all be studying together anyways, and it'll be more fun with more people."
Mika and Kaori exchanged glances.
Both of them seemed to be tempted, but didn't immediately agree.
"Go ahead and participate. Do some intensive study, and try to get better grades," Seiji told them.
The two girls were obviously tempted by his words of persuasion.
"Seigo, you should come as well! You can be a mentor. "
"I want to write a novel."
"You can write over there as well, just like in class. As long as someone has a question, you can give them some advice." Chiaki smiled.
Seiji thought about it.
"What time will the study session be held?"
"It'll be a club activity, starting from today until the day before the final exam. The location will be at the library."
"Club activity time … Alright, if Mika and Kaori are participating, then I'll join as well." Seiji looked towards the two girls.
"I'll join!" Mika and Kaori said at almost the same time.
Just thinking about being able to receive tutelage from Seiji (Seigo) made them feel happy.
"Excellent, everyone will participate." Chiaki smiled in delight. "In that case, let's go to the library after school."
"Wait, not today. Mika and I … have something to do. "
"Eh? What is it? "
"A little private matter. Right, Mika? "Seiji looked towards the pigtailed girl.
Mika nodded.
Chiaki could guess what the matter was when she saw the expression in her two friends' eyes.
"Since you have something to do, you can attend tomorrow."
Kaori was curious as to what Seigo and Mika were going to do, and judging from Chiaki's expression … it seemed like she knew?
She vaguely felt that she was excluded, but she immediately suppressed it.
'The three of them are already close friends, and I've only just become friends with them, so it's only natural that I'm being kept from them.' Kaori thought to herself.
After school.
Seiji and Mika arrived at the student council president's residence.
Mai greeted them in maid attire.
This was Mika's first time seeing the former student council president in maid attire, and she couldn't help but stare in a daze for several seconds before she regained her senses.
Mai led the two of them into the living room before leaving. Moments later, Summer Night appeared.
Compared to last week, the Grand Mistress was in a much better condition, and she was displaying her natural beauty.
After greeting each other, Summer Night had Mika release Mashiro Kobayashi.
"Chirp!"
After the silver-winged loli with an egg-shaped body appeared, she screeched and flew towards the ceiling. She happily circled around twice before landing in Mika's arms.
Summer Night was rendered speechless.
She was stunned.
"President?" Seiji tried calling out to her. Only then did Summer Night regain her senses.
"Although I expected it, I'm still … astonished." The Grand Mistress sighed. "This creature is … truly mystical."
"President, you've been discharged from the hospital, so you can meet with Sakura-san and ask her."
"I wanted to do that, but she didn't respond to my call."
"Is it impossible to find Sakura-san on your own?"
"Perhaps … but that would take too much effort, and I've never tried it before."
It was just a possibility, and it might not succeed. Trying even once would be troublesome, so Seiji wasn't willing to do that. Seiji understood what she meant.
'Let's just pretend that we can't find Sakura-san.'
"Such a mystical Spiritual Creature. I'm curious as to what kind of power she has as well … Come with me, let's go to the training field."
Summer Night began leading the way.
Seiji had Mika carry Mashiro Kobayashi as they followed the president.
"Chirp ~ Chirp chirp ~ ~"
Mashiro Kobayashi blinked her large eyes as she looked around. She seemed to be humming a song and seemed to be in a rather good mood.
Mika was rather nervous, but she was reassured that Seiji was by her side.
They entered the basement and then went to the training field.
Just like Seiji, Mika was astonished that there was such a facility underground in the mansion.
Natsuya led Natsuya and Natsuya to a certain location.
There were targets of various shapes on the opposite side of the training field.
Summer Night turned on a computer beside the training field and operated it.
A white circular target moved closer to them.
