How did your up-close-and-personal reporting on Eli go? I wish I could've been there too.

It was sooo boring. I was hoping for something way more controversial or some juicy developments!

We got to witness just how cool and mature Eli-chi is as our student council president, that's for sure.

She totally is, right?! President-mode Eli never misses a thing!

We have also been fortunate enough to witness her more unique sides during our training camps and the like.

Hey, exactly! You've just hit on a great point, Umi!

Pardon?

Eli-chi's got her work mode and off mode totally separated, right? So we can't limit our close-range reporting to just the school.

The girl who wrote the email really admires Eli-chi, so I think she wants to know what exactly makes her so awesome.

So we need to tell her all about the truth behind Eli-chi's awesomeness! We need to show her the essential charm that makes her who she is!

That sounds like fun! So you're saying we should keep up our up-close-and-personal investigations even when she's off the clock?

Yeah… We could tail her like it's a top-secret mission!

[Fade in/out.]

This is Rin, come in. The suspect is headed towards you. Over!

[Fade in/out.]

I understand wanting to get into the mood and all, but moving about with the whole group isn't exactly covert…

Aw, but I want to play detective!

R-Rin! Shhh!

Playing detective, huh? Sounds fun! Should we split into two groups?

Denied. If we let you and Rin do as you please, Eli will catch us in an instant.

Boo. Where's the trust?

Oh, Eli just went into a shop.

Which one?

*Giggle* Looks like she's browsing for clothes.

I want to see too!

You're right… She's looking at the dresses. Wow, she'd definitely look amazing in that one!

But I think the one displayed in the window would bring out her charms even more.

I'm going to tell Eli that!

Stop right there, Kotori! We're meant to be tailing her in utter secrecy!

Oh right, I forgot.

Oh, she's leaving the shop. Hide!

[Fade in/out.]

Hey, that place up ahead…

A lot of cats often nap there.

Really?

They're all very gentle and adorable!

Oh, it looks like Eli-chi has spotted a cat.

A beautiful girl petting a cat in the early afternoon is so picturesque! And boring.

Eli really is so wonderful…Oh no!

Ack?! Eli got shocked by the cat suddenly leaping away and fell on her butt!

And to add insult to injury, the cat stepping all over the paper bag containing the clothes she's only just purchased!

E-Eliii! Are you all right?!

Wha? Honoka?!

Eeek! Wh-What?! What are you all doing here?!

Oh, dang it! This mission was meant to be top-secret!

Mission? Top-secret…?

Um… Hi, Eli-chi! We have a reeeally good, um, explanation…

Really, now… All right, I'm all ears.

[Fade in/out.]

Phew… We're finally done cleaning the auditorium…

We don't have nearly enough people cleaning for how big this place is!

This is too much even if it is to punish us for our top-secret tailing!

No, this is the perfect punishment.

I'm… I'm sorry…

We didn't mean any harm. We just wanted to tell the girl who wrote the email the essence of what makes you so amazing. Our intentions were pure!

What part of sneaking around in secret is pure? My goodness.

*Sigh* Oh well, it's all in the past now. This place is looking spick and span, too.

Yep, yep. We've all learned our lesson. Tee hee!

Hey, hey. Let's all get ice cream together on the way home!

We shooould! I want chocolate!

[Fade in/out.]

Ahhh, this ice cream is so delicious! Having one after working so hard is the best!

Yeah. It cools your whole body down in one bite.

That one looks good.

You mean mine? Do you want a bite? Here.

*Homphf* Mmm! It really is good! You can have some of mine too.

Thanks.

Hey, guys. Cleaning the auditorium was kinda fun, wasn't it?

Weren't you the one who was complaining so much earlier?

Well it WAS tough, but we got to go into places we don't usually have access to. Wasn't that fun?

Yeah! I had fun!

Now that you mention it, it did kind of feel like we were on an adventure.

Oh, so was that punishment not enough?

Eeeeeek! No, it was! I've learned my lesson! I swear!

Good grief… It's not really a punishment if you end up enjoying yourself. Well, I suppose that's just the kind of girl you are.
