I wonder where Mari is. I didn't see her in the classroom… It's almost time for practice, so where could she be?

I guess I'll text her… “Where are you, Mari?” There, sent!

[Fade in/out.]

Welcome, welcome! I've been expecting you.

So you were in the chairwoman's office…

What's this? You look surprised. Do you think it's odd to see me here?

Not exactly. This is you we're talking about, after all. I figured I'd find you somewhere unexpected, like the roof, one of the underclassmen's classrooms, or even outside…

Oh, I was actually planning to head out after finishing my work here. I thought I'd go and buy some super-delicious desserts to enjoy with everyone.

What were you doing in here, Mari? You said you had work to do, so, like…chairwoman work? If you still need some time, I can tell everyone you'll be late.

It's fine, I'm ready to go. I was just looking at this, that's all.

Is that…a Uranohoshi Girls' High School yearbook?

That's right! I was looking up past graduates. I wanted to see how many girls have left this school and what kind of people they were.

What kind of dreams did they have? What were their school days like? What are they doing now and where are they? You know, that kind of stuff.

I see… Well, did you find anything interesting?

Yeah. I learned something reeeaaally important.

What is it? Was there really something that vital written in a yearbook?

Look at this one from 10 years ago.

Wow, there are all kinds of photos in here. Class photos, club introductions, school trips, school festivals, sports events… Everyone looks like they're having so much fun!

I know, right? You can really tell how much they loved their friends and the school… It's the same with the other years. They're all brimming with smiles.

I wanna make our yearbook just as full of smiles as these are! Not to mention Chika-chi's year, Ruby's year, and every year after that too!

And I will do whatever I can as chairwoman to make that happen! Let's make Uranohoshi a school where people will always keep smiling!

Anyway, that's how I started to feel after looking through these yearbooks. It's filled me with so much power!

You've got this, Mari. And if there's anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask me. I may be from a different school, but I'll do anything to help out Uranohoshi!

Thank you! I know I can count on you.

Huh? I just got a text from Dia… Oh, no! She's super angry!

Yikes, that's not good! I forgot all about practice! Let's get over there before we get struck by Dia's wrath!

Oh, we're gonna get struck all right, that much is guaranteed! Wait up, Mari! Don't leave meee!
