02x06 - I Don't Want to Make Miko Iino Smile/I Want to Make Miko Iino Smile/Kaguya Isn't Getting Called

[bunniefuu]

"ELECTION COMMISSION"

I have a favor to ask you.

I want you to b*at Miko Iino in today's election by a landslide.

Why are you so serious?

Polling shows we've got

"I DON'T WANT TO MAKE MIKO IINO SMILE" almost % of the vote locked down,

"I DON'T WANT TO MAKE MIKO IINO SMILE" so I don't think there's any need to worry.

Do they have some kind of ace up their sleeve?

No, they don't.

I'm sure we'll win today's election.

But even so, we should be able to make it a decisive win.

Is there something between you and Miko Iino?

Miko, what are you doing?

I heard writing the character for a person on your palm and then swallowing it calms the nerves.

Want to try together?

Swallow a person...

I can't.

Why not?

It's like I have empathy for this person.

I would feel guilty swallowing him.

What are you talking about?

When I think that he may have parents and a family...

--He doesn't. --Then, he's all alone.

That's wrong, too.

I'm going to name this person Yusaku.

What's the point of making it even tougher for yourself to swallow him?

Please get ready!

Okay!

D-Do your best.

Yusaku...

Miko Iino is a very honest girl.

She's a girl who is sensitive, pure...

...and more just than anyone I know.

I think many of you already know

how earnest she is through her work as a member of the Public Morals Committee.

She was a member of that committee all through middle school,

working hard for the sake of the academy and her fellow students.

At the same time,

--There's no hesitation. --she was devoted to her studies and was the highest-ranked student...

--She must have practiced a lot. --she was devoted to her studies and was the highest-ranked student...

But...

...people here aren't really paying attention.

Maybe half of the students here are actually listening.

So, please vote for Miko Iino.

Thank you for listening.

And now, let's hear from a supporter for Mr. Shirogane, Ms. Shinomiya.

Kaguya!

She's so honorable!

My name is Kaguya Shinomiya, and I'm here to present a speech

in support of presidential candidate Miyuki Shirogane. Hello.

--As you all know, I served as the former vice president of the student council.

--She did that mic feedback thing on purpose. --As you all know, I served as the former vice president of the student council.

--She did it to command everyone's attention, even the teachers. --As you all know, I served as the former vice president of the student council.

I'd like to think I have a better grasp of what the student council is than anyone.

The operating costs for the school's student council is provided by contributions,

so the money at our disposal cannot be used in an immature way.

"FORMER STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT MIYUKI SHIROGANE'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS" so the money at our disposal cannot be used in an immature way.

"FORMER STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT MIYUKI SHIROGANE'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS" Safe, sound and effective management of the funds is essential.

As this data indicates, our previous student council,

under the leadership of President Miyuki Shirogane,

was able to accomplish all of this, I'm proud to say.

--That's true. They do have actual results.

--That's true. They do have actual results. --He revised club activity budgets,

--Yeah. --He revised club activity budgets,

--was in charge of the school festival operating budget,

--But Shirogane just started here from high school-- --was in charge of the school festival operating budget,

--No talking. --and increased the number of vending machines.

President Shirogane always considered

--how he could improve the quality of our student lives here and then took action.

--Just before, Fujiwara led a teacher over by an anti-Shirogane section. --how he could improve the quality of our student lives here and then took action.

--Just before, Fujiwara led a teacher over by an anti-Shirogane section. --That stance will remain unchanging for a second term.

We can't put anything past them.

Finally...

I would like to explain our forthcoming club policies with video footage.

"STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT MIYUKI SHIROGANE PROJECTED STUDENT COUNCIL OPERATIONS" We're going to let the destination of the class trip

We're going to let the destination of the class trip

be guided by the results of a survey given to students.

--I wanna go to Bali! --I say Egypt!

"SHUCHIIN ACADEMY FESTIVAL"

"SHUCHIIN ACADEMY FESTIVAL" And then, our hearts will become one.

"SHUCHIIN ACADEMY FESTIVAL" "HOUSHIN FESTIVAL" And then, our hearts will become one.

"SHUCHIIN ACADEMY FESTIVAL" "HOUSHIN FESTIVAL"

"EBISU ACADEMICS AND SPORTS"

"EBISU ACADEMICS AND SPORTS" On top of that, he arranged

for that charismatic teacher from last year to come back this season for a special class.

This promotional video is full of shameless baloney.

"ERINA EYATE" This promotional video is full of shameless baloney.

Ishigami...

They're eating it up.

We're just presenting an approximation of your accomplishments, President.

The important thing is having a list of things and how they're presented.

Still, I'm surprised you put so much effort into this, Ishigami.

It's like I said.

I want to b*at Miko Iino in a landslide.

That is all.

Thank you for your attention.

Please vote for Miyuki Shirogane.

That was powerful.

She just exudes unshakeable strength.

Miko has just as many accomplishments.

But...

Next, let's hear from the candidate, Miko Iino.

My name is...

--What'd she say? --Mic trouble?

We can't hear you!

Is something wrong?

I'm Miko Iino.

Is she nervous?

Again?

This is the usual pattern.

This is the reason Miko Iino doesn't win.

She was never good in front of a crowd,

but every time she loses an election, it gets worse.

It's laughable.

Top of the class, by the book, serious to a fault.

Normally, she's a self-important, authoritarian pain in the ass,

so it's all the more potent when she exposes herself to ridicule like this.

You can't expect people who are annoyed by her on the daily not to laugh.

"TAP TAP" You can't expect people who are annoyed by her on the daily not to laugh.

"TAP TAP" I have plenty of reasons to resent her myself.

"SCRUB SCRUB" I have plenty of reasons to resent her myself.

"FWISH!!"

"POURING WATER"

"PLEASE VOTE FOR ME THIS TIME FOR SURE" "CHUCKLE CHUCKLE" "HEH HEH"

"PLEASE VOTE FOR ME THIS TIME FOR SURE" "WOW"

"PLEASE VOTE FOR ME THIS TIME FOR SURE" "WOW" "HAHAHAHA"

But...

But it pisses me off...

...when someone who's trying so hard gets laughed at.

So...

Leave it to me.

You want us to win in a way that won't make Miko Iino a laughingstock, right?

No one's home, Miko?

No.

My mom is distributing vaccines to a hot spot,

and my dad has to work late at the courthouse.

Both of their jobs are very important.

But don't you get lonely being the only one at home?

I do.

I wouldn't be able to take it.

It's not my mom and dad's fault.

It's just that the world is full of bad people...

...which makes them so busy that they can't come home much.

If only people would follow the rules...

Miko is a very serious person.

She always comes to class early in the morning...

...to feed the fish and change the water for the flowers.

She always does what the teacher says and always has the highest grade.

Everyone!

It was only natural when she ran for student council president in elementary school.

Stop bringing things to school that have nothing to do with our studies!

"ELECTED: MAKOTO TADA MOMOKO ADACHI MIKO IINO"

"ELECTED: MAKOTO TADA MOMOKO ADACHI MIKO IINO" Miko loves doing what's right.

Miko loves doing what's right.

But to elementary school students who just want to have fun,

doing what's right is seen as an enemy that infringes on their freedom.

In middle school, we joined the Public Morals Committee.

Miko didn't hesitate to cr*ck down on upperclassmen

even if they were scary or popular.

A lot of people didn't appreciate that.

"ELECTED: KAZUO AIDA SAORI NONAKA JUNPEI MACHIDA MIKO IINO"

Some of them were malicious.

Miko didn't care. She didn't even look disappointed.

Or at least that's probably what other people thought.

But they were wrong.

Miko would cry where nobody else could see her.

The truth is she was scared

and would get hurt like anybody else when people were mean to her.

Miko...

Miko was just serious. She wasn't strong.

But no one got that.

Miko just wants to do the right thing.

Why do they look at her like that?

Anybody would be scared if people stared at them like that.

That's enough. You're just wasting time.

N-Not yet...

Do you really think you'll get any votes

with ridiculous campaign promises like this, Miko Iino?

Ridiculous?

Yes, ridiculous.

Mandatory shaved heads in this day and age?

No one will go along with that.

B-But... th-that's...

If you object, look me in the eye and tell me straight out.

I-I...

What I'm trying to say is...

Go ahead.

Jeez.

She would've self-destructed if he'd just left well enough alone.

My...

My campaign promises aren't ridiculous at all!

Are you listening?

This is a survey of the brand images of well-known high schools!

The strength of Shuchiin's brand has been declining with each passing year!

Oh, and you've pinpointed the cause?

There are a number of reasons,

but one is a strong impression that the students here have loose morals!

The general public sees us as "spoiled brats with good grades"!

That's what they think of us!

--Miko is saying what she wants to say without any trouble?

--And not only that, --Miko is saying what she wants to say without any trouble?

lately, we haven't been able to get cooperation from any community organizations for our events!

--Cooperation from community organizations?

--I see! --Cooperation from community organizations?

--It's because she's only focusing on Shirogane! --Be more specific.

--It's because she's only focusing on Shirogane! --For example,

the campfire at the school festival!

After our students made a nuisance of themselves by staying out late and littering,

the neighborhood association stopped granting permission for nighttime activities!

That's one problem caused by lax morals!

Our local bad reputation corresponds with this period of relaxed school regulations.

Rules give rise to morals!

But making all the boys shave their heads because of that is going too far!

Shaved heads are cool!

That uniformity is stylish! Big round heads make my heart b*at fast!

I don't care about your fetish!

In this information society, you never know what trivial problem will ruin a brand!

In order to preserve Shuchiin's brand, even after we become members of society,

we need to reform the school's image into a "Moral Shuchiin"!

Where's the data showing that shaving your head is effective?

There is a precedent that showed a decrease in tardiness!

The reason was it took less time for the boys to fix their hair in the morning!

I don't accept that alone as validity!

In this modern world which esteems diversity,

it would be difficult to enforce mandatory head-shaving!

Diversity?

Would you really lose diversity over a haircut?

It wouldn't be lost but stolen.

Although respecting the individual without destroying the model would be the ideal.

To cultivate everyone's individuality, Shuchiin supports a variety of clubs.

The ideal can be realized!

Their debate has been going on for more than half an hour now,

but no one is in the mood to stop them.

"ELECTION RESULTS MIYUKI SHIROGANE MIKO IINO" Well, she lost the election, but...

"SHOCK"

Miko...

Hey, Iino...

That was so close! I voted for you!

You were so cool, holding your ground against President!

--I was moved! --Me, too!

There's always next year! Focus on that!

I never knew you thought so much about the academy, Iino!

We have "#rubbingshavedhead" trending on Instagram!

If only you hadn't been up against Shirogane...

Miko!

Good for you! Good for you!

Why are you crying?

Jeez!

Don't be so reckless again! It's bad for the heart!

What happened to Shinomiya?

She got a stomachache so bad that she couldn't stand!

Thanks to a certain someone!

You mean it's my fault?

Come to think of it,

we need someone for the financial audit and be in charge of general affairs.

That's right.

Wait a second.

"I WANT TO MAKE MIKO IINO SMILE" What are you thinking?

"I WANT TO MAKE MIKO IINO SMILE"

" VOTES VOTES" Shirogane was nervous when his margin of victory was narrower than he predicted.

"SO CLOSE" Shirogane was nervous when his margin of victory was narrower than he predicted.

"SO CLOSE" So close!

"ELECTION RESULTS MIYUKI SHIROGANE MIKO IINO" He did it!

Kaguya, he's the president again!

"KAGUYA ISN'T GETTING CALLED" When he went on stage earlier, I thought I'd get an ulcer, but...

"KAGUYA ISN'T GETTING CALLED" I wasn't particularly worried.

Maybe that's true,

but let's see a little genuine happiness!

Lady Kaguya...

There, there. It's okay.

You really were nervous, huh? Poor thing.

That's not it.

I know you haven't been sleeping well these past few nights.

You worked so hard.

--So, now you can lean on me as long as you like--

--Kaguya! --So, now you can lean on me as long as you like--

K-Kaguya?

Is it your stomach? Is your stomach acting up on you?

This was the result of fair and square fight.

So, don't hold a grudge against me.

Don't be ridiculous.

If you hadn't interrupted me then, President,

I wouldn't have been able to get out anything that I wanted to say.

I can't thank you enough.

But...

...that doesn't look like a grateful face.

She's grateful, but frustrated, too.

"HMPH..." She's grateful, but frustrated, too.

Well, that aside,

would you two be interested in joining the student council?

If you still plan to run for president,

it would be a good idea to get hands-on experience.

So, if that's the case, then...

Not for me.

To be honest, I'm not interested in the student council.

Really?

I just wanted to support Miko.

Of course, I won't insist or anything.

How about you, Miko?

Nobody has ever invited me to join the student council before.

Please give me a little time to think about it.

Okay.

If you decide to do it, come to the student council room tomorrow.

You'll be welcome there.

By the way,

you've got two people fidgeting behind you.

Is something wrong?

"FIDGET FIDGET" N-No. Um...

"FIDGET FIDGET" We were wondering about the other positions.

"FIDGET FIDGET" I mean...

Uh...

We're nervous that you won't choose us again.

Since we both have dysfunctional personalities.

"STRONG AGREEMENT!!" I agree!

What on earth are you talking about, Secretary Fujiwara?

You, too, Treasurer Ishigami.

Our first job as the new student council...

...is putting away the chairs in the gym.

--Right! --Right!

Why hasn't President come to check on me?

When he heard that I'd fainted,

shouldn't he have dropped everything and come running to take care of me?

Well, President's first job is cleaning up after the election.

Maybe President doesn't intend to let me be a part of the student council!

"TEARY-EYED..." Maybe President doesn't intend to let me be a part of the student council!

I swear, your mental state holds sway over your physical condition.

What are you so nervous about?

After all, you know my personality.

Maybe President realized I had a hand in the other candidate dropping out.

And that I pestered several clubs into voting for him.

He may even know that the members of the election committee are my puppets!

"SOB SOB" He may even know that the members of the election committee are my puppets!

"SOB SOB" You did all that?

I mean, he only ran because I asked him to!

I made up my mind to do everything I could to get him reelected.

That's only logical, right?

Well, if the end result of doing all of that stuff is paranoia,

I don't know what to say.

In the end, I'm just a horrible girl who relied on foul play.

I can't blame him if he doesn't want me on the student council.

But of course I can blame him! I can't stand it!

In the first place, it's like he threw the votes we scrounged up out the window!

It's as much as to say that he didn't care about all my hard work!

Jeez!

He's like a typical worthless husband whose wife works hard at a part-time job every night,

but he just takes her money and uses it for drinking, gambling and prostitutes!

And he calls me his wife?

It's okay.

He wouldn't have you do his speech

if he didn't mean for you to be a part of the student council.

Women like me get used all the time! Used up and then discarded! Beyond cruel!

Anxious one second, furious the next.

You're hopeless.

I thought President liked me.

I thought he was nice to me because I was special to him.

But he's nice to everyone.

He'll lend a helping aid to anyone.

I was never special.

If you have that much you want to say, go ahead and say it to the person himself.

Shinomiya, how do you feel?

Sorry.

Cleaning up took a long time.

Are you angry at me?

I mean, after you guys helped me and then I acted on impulse...

I feel bad about that.

But I acted because of you and the others, Shinomiya.

With you and them there, I felt like I couldn't just be a spectator.

I can't do anything by myself.

On the other hand, when you and the others are around,

I feel like I can do anything.

Shinomiya...

Be the vice president.

I need you!

All right!

Lady Kaguya...

He gives you special treatment.

Okay!

"UNYIELDING DILIGENCE IN ONE'S STUDIES" The election business is behind us!

Time to get back to work!

We've got sports day, the school festival, and the school trip after New Year's!

Our second term is going to be busy!

So let's go all out as the new student council!

Right!

The result of this election...

Shirogane's camp wins.

Note.

They gain a new member.
