*Sigh*

What's the matter, Eli-chi?

I was thinking about this year's club expenses. I want to increase the budget for all the clubs, but it's tough.

Hmm. It's not like we have that much to work with to begin with.

I think that any club would be more eager to expand and put on events if they got a bigger portion of the budget.

Well, let me teach you something nice, Eli-chi.

What isn't there isn't there! So how about thinking about it like that?

You need to think of things you can do without increasing the budget.

Like how about we save by having some clubs hold events together?

Hmm. You know, that sounds like something worth thinking about!

It may be tough to make a proposal down to the details right now, but you might come up with some good ideas if you talk with the students.

And besides, we have her with us.

Ah, the girl who came to support us.

Yeah! She may not think she's too useful, but…

It feels like new winds are blowing behind us. I'm really grateful she's here.

Yeah, exactly. And since we've got a new girl with us, you don't need to think all by yourself. Let's all get together and talk things over.

Nozomi, you know… *Giggle* You're right.

*Giggle* Got a laugh out of you, Eli-chi.

If you sighed, you'd ruin that cute face of yours.

Urgh. I'll be careful.

Having more people to consult sounds like it will make things easier. Let's go talk with her right away!

*Giggle* How exciting. And things are going to get more fun from here on out!
