At last, it's time to wine and dine the sleepy Nanaki-sensei. What sort of romance does this mysterious quail have in store for us?

So today we get to choose our club! Our guide suggests we join the student council, so we're going to spend a lot of time with Sakuya this route! Let's get to know him a little better, too.

Mister Nanaki dozed off as usual, but class was somehow good anyway. I feel smarter already!

I was pretty sure I wanted to join it, but what does the council do again?
We skipped the vote, and I think it's only Sakuya and me.
Anyway, he called a meeting, so to the council-room I go!
"This looks like a CEO's office!"
"Naturally.
Do you think I would stand for anything less?"
"Hi Sakuya.
So you had this done?"
"Hmph! This room used to be filthy. Better suited to rabbits than to us."
What a prig!
I've never heard that word before in my life, so please enjoy this wikipedia entry! (Is it in British use?)
"Have you decided which position you will take?"
"I get to choose?"
"Who is there to choose for you?
Dumb Japanese..."
"Aren't you Japanese too, Sakuya?"
"Do not mock me!
I am French."
A French noblebird?
...that sounds delicious.
I guess I have to pick a post now.
I believe on Sakuya's route we'll be the vice-president, but this time we're not here for you, Sakuya. So we'll just play the role of the Clerk.
"You came here to take a job like that? Unacceptable!""Where is your ambition?! Are you testing yourself? You've got more backbone than that!"
"Um... then...
Vice president...?"
"Very well."
ALRIGHT THEN...
And so I was inflicted with vice-presidency.There isn't anybirdie else on the council, is there...

I'm just going to clip out this lead-in to the class hike.

(St. Pigeonations' Institute)
Today is the hike! We've stopped for a break on the hillside. Who should I talk to?
Nanaki!!
"Hmm..? What is it, Tosaka?
Break isn't over yet!"
"Um... I wanted to talk to you, sir..."
"Your friends are all here. Why not talk with them?"
"Do you not want to talk to me?"
"No, that's not what I meant...""You're a
funny
girl...
Tosaka...
...zzz."
"Wait! No! I haven't said anything yet!"
And so I took a nap with Mister Nanaki. I wonder if he has some sort of illness? I hope he's okay...

To math class!
"I'm not getting this at all..."
"Hmm... maybe you should review the basics a little more, Tosaka."
"Y-yes sir..."

I'm just going to cut out all of this sports-festival lead-in since we've seen it so many times before. Actually, I'm going to remove all of the sports day because there's no Nanaki stuff!
________________________________________________________________
The first barrier for all students who make it this far, the midterm exam!
We're getting them back today...
Aah... I don't think I did too well.
"Tosaka!"
"Yes!"
"You worked hard. Keep going like that and you'll do just fine."
"One day, you could surpass me.
I'd love to see that!"
...I guess I did pretty well, after all!
And Mister Nanaki seems happy with me, too. Yay!
________________________________________________________________
June 22nd
There's no new Nanaki stuff on this day either - it's the exploring day where we get to wander around to the shops, etc. So I'm just going to save you some reading. I did, accidentally though, tell the Doctor I came to hear his sexy voice, so hopefully Shuu scenes don't come clutter up the place

I always find myself wondering what the math we learn is good for...
"Coo..."
(Zzz...)
"And now we can draw a line perpendicular to the...

Is this the math class or naptime?!Hiyoko leveled up!

July 7th
Today is Tanabata!There's probably a bamboo tree in the plaza this year, too...
I think I'll go make a wish.
Wow, there're lots here already!
Anybirdie I know?
Shuu's is also here, and I choked with laughter
What should I wish for?
These are all so weird, I wish there was just one for doing well in school.I wish to take the reins of power through clever schemes and rule the world from the shadows!
"Oh, hello... is that you, Tosaka?"
"Mister Nanaki!"
"You should be careful out this late! It can be dangerous for a girl, you know."I was about to head home.
Would you like me to walk you to your place?"
Finally we can let him walk us home!
"Yes, please!"
"Alright."
The screen fades to black.
Mister Nanaki demonstrated some extreme sleeping on the way home, but we arrived eventually.
"Your house is very... rustic, Tosaka."
"I like it this way!"
"It's wonderful to have a place to come back to, isn't it?"
"Wonderful indeed..."
He looks a little sad.
"Umm, sir--"
"See you tomorrow!
Don't forget your homework."
And so he left, a somewhat hollow-sounding farewell echoing behind him.Or was it just my imagination?

"Sir! How will integral calculus help us in life?"
"Hmm... hard to say.
It might never help you at all, Tosaka!""But, only studying things that help you in life is tiresome. Think of it as intellectual candy."
Integral calculus is educational candy?! I'm not prepared to accept this...

July 15th
We get our finals back today!
I'm not sure I did too well...
"Tosaka!"
"Sir?!"
"Well done! You've gotten even better. Keep up the good work!"
"Yes, sir!"
Success!

July 20th
The school bell rings.
Today's the last day!
It's been a semester already...Sometimes it seemed long, and sometimes it seemed short, but either way, it's summer now!I think Sakuya said to help him clean the council room before going home...
He always gets angry if I make him wait, so I should hurry!
"You're late!"
I came as fast as I could!
"Sorry, Sakuya.
Let's start cleaning."
"Very well.""First, move the shelf and chairs, there's dust underneath."
"Okay."
"Next, inside the cupboard.
Arrange the files by date."
"Okay."
"And then the floor. Polish it at least three times. And the windo--"
"Hold on. Are you telling me to do all that by myself?"
"Who else is there?"
You, bonehead!!
A tiger's roar actually sounds with this one.
Maybe I should stand up to him?
Let's just save his character development for his own route, but it hurts me to make her polish the floors.
"...well, alright. You can sit there and tell me what to do."
"Excellent."
And so the council room was polished until it shone with the light of a thousand suns. Just as planned.
...aghhh, I went along with him!
________________________________________________________________
August 6th
Today's the local summer festival! I think I'll go with somebirdie.
It's not your imagination: I just skipped all the summer crap leading up to this.
"Good evening, Tosaka.
Such nice weather!
...anyway, you needed something?"
"Umm... sir! Today's the summer festival! Want to go together?"
"The two of us? I wouldn't mind, but wouldn't it be more fun with someone your own age?"
"I think it will be plenty of fun with you, sir!
Let's go!"
"This is the first time I've been to a festival here... it's very lively! I feel a little dizzy."
"A-are you okay, sir...?"
"I'm fine, don't worry.
I'm just not very used to crowds."
The screen flashes.
"Aah, fireworks! How nice...""Have you studied redox colour reactions, Tosaka?"
"Oh, yes! In middleschool. Copper turns green, and sodium turns red, and that sort of thing..."
"No, no! Sodium turns yellow, right?"
"Oh, that's right.
Teehee, silly me."
"Anyway, that's how fireworks work. Mm, so beautiful..."
"Though...
...y-your eyes are even more beautiful, sir."
Wow, Hiyoko. Wow.
"...zzz."
He fell asleep?!He held up pretty well, but I guess he gets even sleepier than usual when the sun goes down...
...and besides, I think the girl is supposed to get told she's prettier than the night, not the man. Oopsie!
And this is just the beginning of our relationship with Nanaki Kazuaki. What will the fall semester teach us about our sleepy sensei? Stay tuned!
