Opening - Overlapping sigh

== After school ==
= Hanasakigawa girls' High school - Library ==

Sayo : ... This is troubling.
Sayo : I don't know what should I do. I probably need someone to help me. But...
Aya : Uuu~, I don't understand anything at all~.
Aya : Previously, Continuous use, Termination, Already, Command. The use of [Ku, Ku, Shi, Ki, Kere] on the adjective... Uuuuu... Is this some kind of spell...
Aya - Sayo : Sigh...What should I do~. - Sigh...What should I do.
Sayo : ....Hm?
Aya : Ah, Sayo-chan!
Sayo : Maruyama-san. How unusual to see you here after school
Aya : I want to review something. So I came here to borrow some documents.
Aya : What about Sayo-chan? You seem to be troubled by something.
Sayo : Yes, To be honest---.

== 1 Hour ago ==
==Hanasakigawa girls' High school - Student council room ==

Rinko : Hyakunin isshu... karuta tournament? (TL notes : Search 'Ogura Hyakunin isshu karuta if you want to know more.)
Literature teacher : Yes. How about we hold that kind of tournament so that the student could learn about classical literature more?
Literature teacher : To be honest, many students scored really badly in the last classical literature test. So I've been thinking for a way to make them learn more about classical literature and I come up with this, what do you think?
Sayo : By doing that, you hope that the students can become more familiar with classical literature.
Rinko : Certainly... I think this is a rather effective method... if we want the student to learn about classical literature more...
Rinko : I understand... we the student council... will hold the Hyakunin ishu karuta tournament...!
Literature teacher : Really? Thank you! Then, I leave it to you.
Rinko : Yes...!
Sayo : Is that really okay? For you to accept that so easily?
Rinko : Yes. I think ... everyone will agree if we hold something like this.
Sayo : Actually, It's you that I'm worried about, Shirokane-san.
Sayo : Not only you need to do your job as the student council president, now that Roselia appearance in [FUTURE WORLD FES.] has been decided, our practice schedule will definitely increase.
Sayo : And now, you also decided to do this kind of event too. Can your body really handle all the work?
Rinko : That... I- I'll do my best...!
Sayo :  I'm actually worried that you'll push yourself too hard by [doing your best] like that...Sigh. It can't be helped---

Aya : ---And for that reason, now you're the one that's responsible for organizing the tournament.

Sayo : Yes. But... I don't know anything about Hyakunin isshu karuta, so I don't know how can I organize this tournament properly.

Sayo : Well, This event is just for educational purpose, so I probably shouldn't worry too much about it.

Sayo : I only need to decide on the time and place for the tournament, then I could probably organize it safely...

Aya : Tournament, huh....Awesome! You're awesome, Sayo-chan!

Aya :  Sayo-chan, the student council member, and even the teachers. I never know that you all cared about us, the students, this much!

Sayo : Us...?

Aya : You see. Just know, I'm actually studying for a classical literature test.

Aya : But, I don't understand anything at all, even though It's all written in Japanese! I'm not making any progress no matter how hard I study.

Aya : But, If you're planning to hold a Hyakunin isshu karuta tournament, then I think I could study it while also having fun.

Sayo : That's actually the purpose of this tournament.

Sayo : But there are so many people who have a negative feeling toward classical literature just like Maruyama-san, so I don't how I could make this tournament a success...

Aya : Then! Can I help you organize that tournament, Sayo-chan?

Sayo : I don't really mind... But, why did you suddenly want to do that?

Aya : If I help you organized it, then I could probably learn something too! And I think it's going to be fun!

Aya : Ah, But, of course, it's not just for me!

Aya : I also want to be helpful to Sayo-chan! Don't you think It's a great idea!

Aya : That's why! Please!

Sayo :... Haa, I understand.

Sayo : Actually, I should be the one that asks you to help me. Maruyama-san, please take care of me.

Aya : Yes! Then, how about we try playing a Karuta for once! We could lend the Karuta from the teachers...!

Sayo : In gere? Library is not a place to play around, you know. Also, we can't play it with just the two of us. We need at least three people if we want to play it ...

Aya : Then, we need to invite at least 1 more people to play with us! Ah, But before that, I need to clean up the documents that I borrow earlier...!

Sayo : Ah, Maruyama-san!.... Is this really going to be okay...?
