Following the Student Council President's steps, Shirou and Stella closely trailed behind Toudou Touka. But as the door to the student council room opened, what greeted them was a scene completely different from what they had imagined. According to normal people's imagination, the student council room should be a tidy office. However, what appeared before them now was far from it.
The entire student council room was a mess. Although the bookshelves were still bookshelves and the drawers were still drawers, the books and miscellaneous items that should have been on them were scattered all over the floor. And all the student council executives, except for Toudou Touka and the injured Kisaragi Kanata, were gathered in this messy room.
The secretary, Kirigakure Kurono, was neatly transcribing meeting minutes. But within the entire student council room, he was the only one diligently working. At this moment, the Vice President, Mibuchi Foobar, was engrossed in a video game. And the general affairs officer, Usamaru Renren, was watching the game with great interest while doing muscle training with a resistance band, though at this moment, she was only wearing a thin tank top and underwear, looking very sloppy.
Meanwhile, Shirou and Stella quickly noticed that Toudou Touka, who had been walking in front of them, had disappeared. Soon after, they saw Toudou Touka, who had tripped over the indoor clutter and was now sprawled on the floor.
"Oh? President, you're back? Welcome back!"
"Ahaha? Touka is such a clumsy one, tripping again?"
Usamaru Renren and Mibuchi Foobar were the first to notice Toudou Touka's return and greeted her.
Toudou Touka, with a furious glare, stared at the two: "Honestly! Usamaru-kun, didn't I tell you to put the dumbbells back in their place after you're done? It's dangerous! And Foobar-chan, put your manga back on the shelf after you read them! You always leave them lying around! I was only gone for one day to prepare for the match, how did it get into such a state!?" Toudou Touka, astonished by the scene before her, loudly scolded the two.
"Geez, President, why do you immediately assume it was us two who made the mess? Maybe you're even wronging us!"
"Only Usamaru-kun trains in the student council room, and only you and Foobar-chan throw manga around after reading them!"
"Oh, I suddenly wanted to reread the entire sets of Rurouni Kenshin, Dragon Ball, and Slam Dunk. But it's too much trouble to keep running to the bookshelf, so it was just easier to move all the books out. And after I finished reading, I suddenly felt childlike and wanted to play games, so I had to turn the whole room upside down to finally find what I wanted. But when you weren't here, Kurono did a good job for you, don't worry!"
"You're pushing your work onto someone else and acting smug about it, it's infuriating! Honestly, why are you always like this."
"President, excuse me. Though your anger has not yet subsided, the guests have been looking rather bewildered for a while now."
"Ah!" Toudou Touka, infuriated by the abnormally terrible state of the room, momentarily lost her composure. It was only then that she abruptly turned to look at the doorway. At this moment, Shirou and Stella stood at the entrance, observing the student council room, which was as miserable as a garbage heap, with forced smiles on their faces.
"Ah! Could I trouble the two of you to wait for a moment!" Toudou Touka's face turned green as she forced a friendly smile, pushed the two into the hallway, and then slammed the door shut with a whoosh.
Clatter, thud.
The noisy sounds from inside the student council room were incessant, and the windows rattled, making clattering noises, as if a major move was underway.
Standing at the door of the student council room, listening to the chaotic sounds inside, Shirou and Stella both wore helpless expressions.
"There are really quite a few problem children in this student council!" Thinking of how Toudou Touka had to deal with these problem children every day, Shirou and Stella couldn't help but feel sorry for her. What a difficult life!
After a moment of waiting, Toudou Touka reappeared before them with a smile and welcomed them into the student council room. Seeing the interior of the student council room again, the scene inside greatly surprised the two. The room was practically brand new, incredibly clean. All the books that had been scattered on the floor were now back on the shelves, and the floor was polished so brightly it was like a mirror. The clean interior, coupled with tasteful and classically styled living items, reminded one of a room in a Western castle. It was truly admirable how they managed to clean it all in just a few minutes.
However, Shirou, with his excellent eyesight, quickly noticed something unusual. The cabinet behind Kirigakure Kurono seemed excessively bulging.
Kirigakure Kurono was strenuously blocking the cabinet door behind him, as if something would surge out if he let go. Seeing this, Shirou thought for a moment and decided it would be better not to pay attention to it.
"Yo, Emiya-kun, Stella-kun, we meet again." Mibuchi Foobar smiled and welcomed the two who entered, led by Toudou Touka. After all, they had met before at the family restaurant. However, at that time, Kisaragi Kanata was still accompanying Mibuchi Foobar. But now, Kisaragi Kanata was already resting due to her injuries.
"Hello, Senpai!" Responding to Mibuchi Foobar's greeting, Shirou and Stella sat down.
"Please have some tea. If it's not good, please don't mind. Kanata usually makes the tea, but she'll be resting these few days, so I had to make it!" Receiving the black tea from Toudou Touka, Shirou and Stella were about to thank her when they suddenly heard Mibuchi Foobar's praise.
"Speaking of which, Emiya-kun is truly strong. The few of us were all present for your battle with Kanata, but we never expected Kanata to lose so badly!" Hearing Mibuchi Foobar's sigh, Usamaru Renren and Kirigakure Kurono on the side continuously nodded. Because they were very confident in Toudou Touka's victory, all the student council members went to watch Shirou's and Kisaragi Kanata's battle. But they never expected the battle to end so quickly.
"It's truly thanks to Emiya-kun for going easy on her; otherwise, Kanata's consequences would have been unimaginable!" Although Kisaragi Kanata fell into a coma because of Shirou, none of the student council members believed it was his fault. When they stood on the stage of the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival, they had to be prepared for life-threatening danger. For Kisaragi Kanata at that time, merely falling into a coma was already a stroke of luck.
"It's no big deal; after all, we're not enemies!" Looking at Mibuchi Foobar and the others, who looked grateful, Shirou replied with a smile. Just then, Kirigakure Kurono, standing in front of the wardrobe, suddenly changed his serious expression to one of joy and admiration, saying to Toudou Touka, "As expected of the President, your work efficiency is divine. You have already found assistance for this matter, and this choice is excellent."
"?" Hearing Kirigakure Kurono's words, Toudou Touka looked puzzled.
"What, Touka, you didn't forget, did you? Didn't Director Kurono ask us? That matter."
"Director Kurono asked us? Ah, ahh!" Hearing Mibuchi Foobar's reminder, Toudou Touka instantly cried out, her face turning pale.
"Oh dear, did you really forget? I thought you invited these two for that matter."
"Uh, yeah. My mind was completely focused on the match with Shizuku-kun, and I completely forgot about this."
"Um, what is that matter?" Stella, sitting beside Shirou, asked when she saw Toudou Touka holding her head in frustration. Recalling Director Kurono Shinguuji's request, Toudou Touka said with vexation.
"The student council recently received a request from Director Shinguji. Hagun Academy conducts a representative candidate strengthening training camp every year before the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival."
"The training facility is located in Okutama, but recently, suspicious individuals seem to have appeared near Okutama."
"It sounds quite dangerous."
"Indeed! However, the teachers are currently
overwhelmed with the selection battles, so the Director asked the student council, at least the executives, to go to Okutama first to confirm the local safety."
"However, the training camp includes mountains and large forests, and if only the student council executives go, it might be understaffed."
"I see, so that's why you need to find more people?"
However, the selection battles were extensive, and it seemed that not only were the teachers spread thin.
"I have another question, what does the suspicious person look like? Are there any other details?"
"About that!" Toudou Touka hesitated for a moment, then spoke again.
"The suspicious person seems to be a giant, about four meters tall."
"Huh?"
"G-giant!?"
