To protect the Food Research Club,
the precious room wherein he spent his days with his close friend,
Oojima Yuuki stood up and decided to run in the elections.
Following the decisions made by Yuuki,
the girl assisted in the campaigning as much as she could.
Together with her best friend.
Okay, I finally finished preparing the 3.600 Yaoi bar pamphlets...
Yuuki, be sure to bake the Oojima Rolls by today.
Yeah.
I'll try to fix up the speeches.
Will you be all right, Mifuyu? Tell me if you need help.
We'll just have Yuuki pull an all-nighter.
Why me...
It's okay. I'll handle it somehow.
Thanks, Mifuyu.
How glad I am that Mii-chan's here.
I love you. Please go out with me.
I appreciate your feelings, Yuu-kun.
However, I'm already committed to someone else...
What did you say?!
Too bad! There's no more room for you!
Are you guys at it again? You're really close, aren't you?
Not really, I'm just playing along.
Is that so? I certainly saw you were having fun somehow.
Chisato has a crush on Yuu-kun, after all.
Wh-What are you saying? There's no way I'd fall in love with this jerk.
Indeed. Someone who's letting me overwork so much wouldn't love me in the slightest!
What's up with you?
That's no good, Yuu-kun.
Wait, me?
Why me?
You shouldn't have done that.
But what did I do wrong then?
You'll see.
Yuuki became self-conscious and put up a blunt act.
However, his true feelings were just as in the play.
He was in love...
...with Mifuyu.
Yuuki-senpai? Yuuki-senpai!
All right, let's start the baking!
Good luck, Yuu-kun.
Mii-chan, are you sure about this?
Sure about what?
I don't really have any problem with skipping class,
but wouldn't it be bad if your daily attendance would be affected?
I'm fine. I've been quite healthy lately, so I wasn't absent from school that much.
Well, if you say so.
And by doing this, I can return the favor to Chisato.
Return the favor?
Yeah.
The reason I can live in happiness like this,
is all thanks to Chisato.
Mii-chan...
A long time ago, when I transfered to this school, I had to redo the year due to surgery.
Being a senior,
I was treated with great caution.
Using honorifics, treating me specially...
I was no longer part of the class.
It was really painful and crushing.
But Chisato saved me from that hell.
She's quite indifferent when it comes to stuff like that.
She'd go and talk to anyone carelessly.
But thanks to that, I was able to fit in the class.
Chisato really has my gratitude for that.
That's why I'd like to be a bit useful to her.
Therefore I'll protect the Food Research Club she adores so much.
Okay. Let's do our bests together.
All right, the first two are done.
Thanks for the work, Samantha. And Tabitha.
What's that about?
Those are the names of the witch mother and daughter of a TV series that aired way back.
Never heard of it?
How come you know all that old stuff?
That's because I'm, for one, your upperclassman.
I don't think that's the only difference between us.
So, I'm done with the sixth one.
Mii-chan, what's the time?
The time is sublime!
Another thing from the past?
A commercial that featured dancing cows.
You lost me.
Excuse me. The name's Shiohama Hidaka, reporter of the ASP.
In order to make a list of all candidates running for presidency,
I'd like to hold an interview with you. Do you comply?
E-Erm, go ahead.
I'll keep it quick. Your name is listed as Ooshima Yuuki. Is this correct?
No. My surname is pronounced as Oojima.
My bad. Ooshima, it is...
I'm telling you it's Oojima.
I don't have to hear it twice.
But didn't you say Ooshima just now...
Due to the lack of time, we'll skip the introductions.
Candidate Ooshima, please tell me your most important policies.
See, you did say Ooshima!
Please answer the question.
After you corrected my name.
The name is what's most important in the elections, no?
The most important policy is the revision of names...
That's not what I meant!
And finally, a word towards the voters please.
Don't skip everything on your own!
"Don't skip everything on your own!", I see...
That was not my actual message!
The interview is hereby finished.
Thank you for taking your time for this interview.
Hey, wait! You're wrong—
"Thank you for your support."
"Thank you for your kind attention."
And that makes eight...
How's it going over there, Mii-chan?
Ah, I'm finally do—I mean, just a little longer.
I see. Don't give up!
Yeah.
Yuuki-senpai, what's the current status?
It looks like we're going to be fine.
What brings you here?
I just wanted to see Senpai produce large amounts of sticky white liquid.
What's with that...
Yuuki-senpai.
Senpai's sweet white cream...
What are you...?!
Yummy!
Yuuki wanted to stay together with Mifuyu,
making sweets as time passes slowly.
And so, the two spent a quiet time together.
Good morning, everybody!
What's the matter, Non-chan-senpai.
Yuu-chan-kouhai knows about the "Angels' Share", right?
I believe that referred to the share of liquor that is lost to evaporation inside the barrels.
You are well informed I see.
Then you surely know about the Angels' Share when it comes to Oojima Rolls, right?
And who might this angel be?
The one and only angel whom no-one can't stop from loving, Non-chan!
An angel, for sure!
I don't have a share for Non-chan this time, unfortunately.
I'll make some for you next time so let it go for toda—
I-I get it...I'll give you the ends of each roll so please forgive me!
Does that mean I'll get the ends of 20 rolls?!
That's totally correct.
I'm busy right now, so please come and get them after I'm done.
Thank you, Yuu-chan. You're truly my soul mate!
A friend of mind!
Yuuki and Mifuyu split the ends and tasted them.
It had a nice and sweet flavor like the time they spent together.
Just a few more...
Shall I make some tea for you, Yuu-kun?
Ah, could you? That'd be really nice of you.
Roger that.
Hi!
Yuu-kun, how's it going?
Sensei, aren't you a bit too close?
For what reason did you come here?
Aren't you quite the heartless one. Despite having come all the way here because I was worried about you.
Ever since the election, you never came by for making dinner.
I'm so lonely...
Nothing I can do about it!
I've been very busy!
Whoops, I suddenly remembered something urgently!
What's with that lousy reasoning?!
See ya later! Yuu-kun, keep up the good work!
Hey, Yuu-kun.
I have something to ask of you.
I don't want you to take your eyes off her.
I'd like you to keep your eyes on Chisato as much as you can.
That story again?
I want both of you to live in happiness.
Not just Chisato?
Don't sweat it. I'm keeping a look on Chisato on my own way.
Yuu-kun...
Excuse me. I've been sent from the Board of Elections.
My name is Aomi Isara.
You're...
Aomi-san! You've been sent...?
One financial-aid student per candidate has been dispatched as dedicated gofer.
And you're here for me?
Yep.
I've come to help you from today until the end of the elections!
Pleased to be working with you.
But to think that I'd be selected for you, out of all those other candidates.
How slight the chance may have been.
Indeed. Ending up like this, it's as if it was fate...
...or something.
It really does...
Wha...
W-Well then, good to have you here.
Yes! I'll do my best.
Everyone, I'll be working with you all.
Likewise. Make Yuuki win this!
Affirmative! I'll do the best I can!
To have my booth next to the temporary stage...I sure got a nice spot.
The chairman used his influence from behind.
Whoa, my thanks to the chairman!
Everyone, the opening is very near!
Right now, the preliminaries of Takafuji Private High School...
...have started!
Please don't run!
Please keep moving!
Please stand in the lines!
Please don't push each other!
What an upsurge!
Is it like this every year?
Look over there.
I'd like all poster versions please!
I'd like Shinonome's manifesto audiobook please!
She's really popular.
As expected of the Financial Division.
We're back!
Where did you two go?
We took some merchandise.
Aren't those goods from the opposing candidates?
Why are you showing respect towards the enemy?
Let it be. Just think of it as inspecting the enemy.
So, whose merchandise?
Just as I thought. I'm surprised they could even sell this...
The General Division is as strong as ever.
They've got quite the skill.
It's formidable.
Formidable? This?
Hmm? Ariake and Garage are selling goods here as well?
These are the terms and conditions of the Supporters' Association's president and vice-president.
Wait, you weren't aware of them?
Weren't you the one who made that deal?!
I'm selling figures and garage kits.
Miss Ariake is in charge of selling fanzines.
There's not enough space with just our club's booth.
All right, is everyone ready? The mass is about to come.
Yuuki, prepare your speeches!
Affirmative!
Huh? Oh no, I left my script at home!
What? You didn't memorize all of it?
I could never memorize all of it perfectly in just one night!
I just have to do some last-minute reviewing!
I still have the data, so I'll go and print it once more.
I'm so sorry. I owe you one, Mii-chan.
Leave it to me!
Well then, let's go at it, everyone!
Please vote for Oojima Yuuki!
In hope for Yuu-chan, please vote for Oojima Yuuki!
O-Oojima...
Oojima...please vote for him.
Good luck with it, Morishita-san.
This is the end of the line!
Shinkan to Eibei, please!
Shinkan to Eibei, coming up.
That'll be 2.000 yen.
And please, call your vote on Oojima Yuuki!
I'd like two Snake and Crab's.
Two sets of Snake and Crab's...
That sums up to a total of 13.000 yen.
And don't forget to vote on Oojima Yuuki!
G-Got it.
Letting them sell their goods was the right decision.
Right?
Oojima.
Oojima. Pamphlet.
Please. Vote.
I see progress!
But... the real deal comes hereafter!
When we'll start selling Oojima Rolls!
Done.
"As Yuuki gently embraces Mifuyu..."
"Their lips slowly..." ...Wait.
Why did I print this part?!
Ahh... What am I panicking over?
Oh no...Disregard that, I've to print the speech script quickly!
Super popular! It's the launch of the Oojima Roll!
300 yen per piece!
300 yen?!
Even though 190 is already relatively expensive! How come?!
Chii-chan's idea was to have them select a cosplayer of choice
with the service of feeding included.
Therefore the 300 yen...?
Could you two cross your arms?
Wait a minute!
People who want to have a nice picture of us,
please buy an Oojima Roll that comes with a photographing ticket!
Afterwards, we'll take any pose you want.
Starting from 500 yen per piece!
Oojima Roll!
Including photographing ticket costs 500 yen.
What do you think?
The cosplay plan I thought of worked out pretty well, don't you think?
Wh-What's with that outfit?
How is it? Cute?
Hey, I can see what's beneath!
Doesn't matter, it's just a swimsuit.
That's not making it any better.
Chisato, an order came in.
Coming!
Yuuki-senpai.
How's my costume?
You too...
Wow, so cute!
He looks like a girl!
Hey, isn't this that kid?
Then he's that guy...
What?
Yumeshima-kun! Ooshima-kun!
An order came in!
Wait, what?
What the hell?!
You two, please feed each other.
Do it just like this, please!
What is this?!
Looks like me and Yuuki-senpai.
We receive 1.000 yen for every special request.
You two, please do your best!
I guess we have no other choice.
Aren't you actually brimming with excitement?!
It's all for the sake of funding for the elections.
That said, say "ahh"...
So hot! He's a tsundere!
Am I doing it right?
For the election, I'm even willing to submit to the requests of the next page.
What do you girls think?
I'm out!
From now, we start accepting speeches.
Those who are willing to participate, please come to the Election Commission post below the stage.
It's finally time.
Yuuki, it's your turn now.
But my script is still...
Yuu-kun.
My bad for being so late.
Don't mind it. Blame Yuuki for forgetting it in the first place.
Here you go.
Thanks, Mii-chan! I do love you after all!
Ah, uhm...That's...
R-Right... I'm already devoted to someone else...
What a pity, there's no more room for you
But there's no time to be fooling around!
There's enough room for you over there!
You're right!
Ah, wait a second.
There we go.
Get going!
Well then, candidate Ooshima, please come this way.
It's Oojima.
So I presume you're candidate Oojima?
I'm the General Division's official candidate, Tatsumi Moheiji.
Pleased to make your acquaintance hereafter.
As far as I recall, your Food Research Club's manifesto stated
to "defend the free club activities".
Is this a claim against the manifesto of the Financial Division?
Correct.
I see, I see.
My policy and your claim are aligned perfectly.
After the preliminaries, we hope for your support.
Eh?
Having anti-Shinonome as standpoint,
we're completely the same.
We're basically comrades, so to speak.
No go. I'm not planning to drop at the preliminaries.
I became a candidate in order to win.
I'm aiming to pass these preliminaries, so I can't cheer for you afterwards.
You don't have the right to order me to stop.
You can just go your own way...
However...
That way might come to a dead end, unfortunately.
If that happens, I'll be glad to guide you along the right way.
In that case, please give us your support.
Candidate Tatsumi, please finish your preparations.
Well then, I wish you the best of luck.
That guy...
Thanks for the hard work.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks.
You can relax for a while.
I'll just throw this away when I'm back home.
Uh-oh...
Isn't this the script for the speeches?!
That means the one I gave to Yuu-kun is...
Sweets are so nice, but so bad for when you're on a diet.
You'll be surprised about the unexpected amounts of calories unexpected sweets can have.
One bag of potato chips can have as much as one cup of noodles.
If you're not careful, you'll gain another light meal just like that!
Aren't there low-calorie sweets for that reason?
Wait, what?
Enlighten us!
Agar jelly, konjac jelly, and tokoroten!
Those are only gelatinous!
Next time, episode 6: "Vote Count!"
No! My belly became blubbery!
