Muneuji

President, I apologize for making you wait. Here is a report of all the pumpkin varieties we were able to count yesterday.

Yumenosuke

……

Muneuji

Moving on, here are the documents for my proposal. Please look through them, by all means.

Yumenosuke

Hmm…

A… Halloween Masquerade Ball…?

Muneuji

It will be a reproduction of the second culture festival that was held in the past.

To this end, I would like to hold a soft opening for the members of the Student Council.

StudentCouncilMemberA

Huh, sounds like a solid plan~

StudentCouncilMemberB

Yeah, if it’s for the sake of a party, we can look at it as if this wasn’t a mistake at all, that the student council did it out of consideration to meet the expectations of the student body…!

Yumenosuke

……

Muneuji

If you would allow it, I would like to hold the soft opening over the course of a few days.

Participants can try their hand at carving their own jack-o’-lanterns to bring to the party itself and learn simple recipes for making pumpkin treats…

In addition, small decorative pumpkins can be utilized to make protective charms and other small accessories. In this way, it will become a hands-on experience for attendees.

Then, by bringing them on the day of the party, the pumpkin crafts you made will serve as a ticket and grant access to the masquerade ball.

By having the participants themselves create a wide variety of items, we will surely be able to make use of all one million pumpkins.

What do you think, President?

Yumenosuke

…This plan requires quite a large number of people.

Muneuji

I am aware. Which is why I am prepared to even expose my own face in order to advertise this event.

And…

Phone rings.

Yumenosuke

What is that? A phone call?

Muneuji

I discussed it with some others this morning, and the man in question said he wished to talk with you. …Here.

Yumenosuke

The man in question…? Fine, then. Hello, Yumenosuke Kuraku speaking.

……

WH…!? You’re… Mr. Raito Kitakata…!?

Raito

“Nice to meet you, Yumenosuke-kun. I believe you should have already heard about the proposal by now.”

Yumenosuke

Y-Ye-Yes…!

Raito

“When I was still a student, the masquerade ball was a large, successful event. If we are able to once again hold the ball, then I assure you that I will use my personal connections to ensure that every last one of the pumpkins will be used.”

Yumenosuke

E-Every last…!?

Chihiro

“Chii is like, totes hyped for the festival too~ I’ll give it 120% and spread the word like the plague ♪”

Yumenosuke

WH… The Alpha Dazzler Chihiro Natsuyaki, is here too…!?

Muneuji

Indeed, it seems the two of them are more than happy to lend us a hand.

Yumenosuke

……

Muneuji

Truthfully, my companions at HAMA Tours gave me the idea for this proposal…

Yumenosuke

Muneuji

…? Is something wrong?

Yumenosuke

Don’t tell me, you’ve… been actively borrowing external help?

Muneuji

……

Yumenosuke

I was thinking that the Student Council would be able to settle this situation alone. I thought that you and I shared the same mindset, so… I am a bit surprised.

Muneuji

Is… that so…

Yumenosuke

However… HOWEVER. This plan, it’s… VERY INTERESTING!

We must provide the student body with a fresh, new jubilation! We will provide all of our locals and Asu High graduates with the gift of nostalgia, and use up the pumpkins in the process!

It is quite difficult to refuse your proposal!

Muneuji

Yes, I thought that you would like this sort of plan. I stayed up all night last night in order to think it up.

Yumenosuke

M-Me, like…!?

Muneuji

You love this school and its history.

Yumenosuke

Gh… What an innocent and carefree smile…!

Muneuji

President, I…

I wish to repay you for covering for me when I fell to rank 1.

Yumenosuke

…!?

Muneuji

Which is why I would like for you to allow us to host this party. I am sure that the event will turn out wonderfully.

Yumenosuke

Gh… A-Approved…

No, wait! I will not be swayed by my emotions!

Student Council Member A

…The President sure has a lot of pride, huh.

Student Council Member B

You don’t say. He’s totally getting all emotional.

Yumenosuke

If, on the off chance, there is not a sufficient number of attendees and all of the pumpkins are not utilized, what do you intend to do!

Muneuji

If that occurs, I shall take responsibility…

And eat them all.
