❛ I fear that I've been neglecting my duties as Student Council President, as of late . . . I hope that this won't cause any problems for Kosei High . . . ❜

The Shogi player covered her mouth with a hand as she permitted herself to yawn. Long nights that were spent keeping up with homework were starting to take a toll on her, especially when combined with her everlasting infatuation with shogi itself.

❛ Oh . . ? I didn't happen to miss anything of significance, did I? ❜

❛ It appears to be another quiet evening . . . ❜

❛ I . . ❜ She paused briefly, clearing her throat. ❛ I do hope that everyone has been doing well . . . ❜

❛ I do fear that my duties as Student Council President are taking a toll on my health . . . Perhaps I should try to delegate some of my work to those on the team. ❜

❛ It's Sunday . . Please, remember to visit the Church if you seek guidance. ❜

❛ It appears to be a rather quiet morning. How peculiar. ❜

“ I've been so busy with my duties as Student Council President that I've neglected my shogi training . . please, forgive me for my prolonged absence. ”

“ Ahem . . ” A gentle clearing of her throat, covering her mouth as she did so. “ Ah, much better . . ”

( Quietly clears throat. ) Ahem,

“ A-Ah . . So many new faces. ”

The look reserved only for the one that she loves. Who is that . . ? The future remains unknown . .

She gently clears her throat, covering her mouth with a closed hand. ❛ Memories . . they come rushing back, so fast . . ❜

❛ . . . Hm. Perhaps I need to . . get out more, perhaps broaden my horizons . . . ❜

She coughs quietly, trying not to avert attention to herself. Yet, a gentle voice calls out, posing a question. ❛ Would . . anyone wish to spend time together? ❜

❛ Ah . . I almost forgot. My mother has plans for me, tomorrow . . ❜ There's a slight shudder on her behalf as the girls speaks quietly, glancing downwards. ❛ I . . must depart, for now. ❜

❛ It's . . been a while since I've trained in the art of Shogi. I should change that. ❜

❛ Oh, it is . . summer . . Perhaps I should prepare for a day at the beach . . though, I would have no company to go with. ❜
