"Thank you for coming on such short notice, Kokoro-san," Kirari tells me as she motions me to sit on the same couch as earlier. I sit down, waiting for her to tell me what she wants to say, although I'm pretty sure I know what she's going to say.

"As you know, we have an open spot on the student council from that... incident... earlier."

I nod. I couldn't help but remember Nishinotouin's stoic expression, her face that of pure anguish.

Kirari continues. "I want you to join the student council. You could make your own club, and you can even keep your silly gambling dens."

I take a deep breath, as I tell her something she wouldn't want to hear. "I'm afraid I'll have to decline this offer."

Kirari turns at me. "What?" She keeps a relatively calm expression as she looks curiously at me.

"I refuse the offer."

"I hear you, but why?"

"The gambling dens are much more profitable, and I work too hard on them."

"I thought you gave away the gambling dens for that very reason."

"It was so I could become a house pet."

"Why?" This conversation gets fast paced and awkward. I don't want to be here any longer.

"So I could fight NIshinotouin. I didn't need to use an official match."

"Why did you fight Nishinotouin?"

"I'm tired of this conversation." I stand up and make my leave. "I don't have to answer your question. You're not the boss of me."

"You never fail to pique my curiosity," Kirari remarks as I exit the room.

As I make my way to the gambling dens to help Mary and the others, I stumble upon where the Traditional Research Club used to be. Instead, there is a handwritten note from Nishinotouin noting how there were closing indefinitely.

I sigh as I make it to the room. "Nishinotouin had it coming," I repeat in my head as I walk to Book Room #2. I check my backpack and confirm that my check is still there, and I make it to Book Room #2 and help Mary count the money.

After that, I go to the bank and cash my check. The banker stared at me in bewilderment as I motion for her to complete the transaction as I got the notice on my phone that the transaction was complete and that I now have an additional 1.23 billion yen in my bank account. I make it home and wonder how the student council will retaliate as I go to sleep.
