Liguang: … It looked like he just came falling from a tree.
Yukikaze: Mm. A perfectly smooth landing from almost two meters high. He must be in good shape.
Liguang: Why was he even up there…
A strange, handsome boy: “Well well, you’re just in time. The fight to become top dog at this school is just about to begin—”
Liguang: …… What kind of setup is that?
Yukikaze: According to the blurb… "with the yearly student council election on the horizon, the campus is in turmoil as the students are split into three different factions."
Liguang: And that kind of plot’s necessary for a romance game…?
Yukikaze: Hey, look at the background, Liguang. There are cracks in the wall. Looks like they take these elections seriously.
Those must be the battle scars left from previous elections. It really gives you a sense for how intense their fighting gets. Reminds me of the elections at Asu High.
Liguang: People certainly got heated about them, but never to this extent.
Yukikaze: More characters are showing up. They all seem very unique and charming.
Hm? A choice box popped up…
A tad bit overpassionate, handsome boy: “Let’s change this school together!”
A smart and calculating handsome boy: “Heh… casting your vote for me would be the most logical choice.”
A quiet, handsome boy: “T-There’s no way I can let these guys become student council president…”
A strange, handsome boy: “My my. So? Just who will you stand with?”
Liguang: (They’re forcing things along quite a bit… but this must be where you choose your romantic interest.)
Yukikaze: Alright, then—
I’ll choose no one.
Liguang: ……
Why? Aren’t you supposed to?
Yukikaze: But… If I took one of their hands, they’d surely start fighting.
Liguang: But this is a romance game. Aren’t the characters supposed to fight over you?
Yukikaze: I don’t want my little brothers to fight, though. There must be a way to make everyone happy. I’ll… find it no matter what.
Liguang: (I doubt he gets what the point of this game is.)
(But if he’s enjoying himself, then it’s fine… I suppose.)

Liguang: Kamina, I’m ba… you’re still playing that?
Yukikaze: Ah, welcome back, Liguang. I just finished it.
Liguang: So how’d it end?
Yukikaze: The heroine became the student council president, gained control of all the factions, and united the school.
Liguang: She did? With that bunch of ruffians?
… But that wasn’t the point of the story, was it? Who ended up being her partner?
Yukikaze: Ah… she didn’t end up with anyone.
But it ended with a smile on each of my little brothers’ faces, so it was a perfect happily ever after. Toi was right—it was a really touching story…
Liguang: (I’m not sure he got what the younger Shiramitsu really meant by that…)
Yukikaze: I’ve got to share my impressions with him, as thanks for introducing me to such an amazing work.
