Sales Pitch Performance

 **Yachiyo:**Hello.

 **Michiru:**Hi, Yachiyo.

 **Yachiyo:**Huh? Michiru-senpai, you're by yourself?

 **Michiru:**Looking for Akira? She just went to the rehearsal room. Did you want to talk about the budget?

 **Yachiyo:**No, it's nothing to do with the student council. Do you have time right now?

 **Michiru:**Sure, what is it?

 **Yachiyo:**The other day when I was shopping with Shiori, we bumped into Frontier's Tsukasa-san and Shizuha-san.

 **Michiru:**Oh, I see.

 **Yachiyo:**Both Shiori and I were invited to perform on stage with them.

 **Yachiyo:**It's a formal stage hosted by the shopping mall — a part Of their Valentine event. Is it Okay for us to appear in it?

 **Michiru:**You're allowed to do extracurricular activities in Siegfeld. You didn't need to double check.

 **Michiru:**And actually, Shizuha-chan had contacted me and I gave them the okay already.

 **Yachiyo:**Huh...?

 **Michiru:**I knew the moment you told me you'd bumped into them, but I was curious to hear how you'd explain it so I kept quiet ♪

 **Yachiyo:**Oh, you're as crafty as usual. Did you also use such tricks on Shizuha-san?

 **Michiru:**How rude. There wasn't anything in particular that I wanted to draw out from her so I didn't use any tricks ♪

 **Michiru:**But something she said made me curious. Are Lalafin-chan and the others doing a different play?

 **Yachiyo:**Yeah, that's right.

 **Michiru:**Akira was calling for me so I couldn't ask for the details. What kind of play is it?

 **Yachiyo:**It's a play called "Witch Triples". Just like the title, Arurun, Lala-san, and Misora-chan will be playing the 3 witches who take care of the evil witch — a play for kids.

 **Michiru:**Haha, sounds interesting. But since Shizuha-chan and Tsukasa-chan won't be there, won't it get quite out of hand?

 **Yachiyo:**You're right. Shouldn't miss that play either.

 **Yachiyo:**Misora-chan is there so it should be fine, but her role in the play eats sweets all through the performance from beginning to end.

 **Michiru:**Haha, interesting ♪ That's a pretty unexpected role.

 **Yachiyo:**The staff praised her saying that she made the sweets look so delicious.

 **Yachiyo:**They asked her to eat a lot on stage to stimulate the audience's appetite.

 **Michiru:**Haha, like a sales pitch in a sense?

 **Yachiyo:**The Witch Team announced that they'll aim for the sweets to sell out by using Misora-chan's special skill to make things look delicious.

 **Michiru:**Then you have to also be aware of your play's sales promotion aspect. Your performance can't lose to "Witch Triples".

 **Yachiyo:**Yes, I'll do my best.

 **Michiru:**Good ♪ Go learn all the things that you can't learn here in Siegfeld.

 **Yachiyo:**Which means, things that I can only learn in Frontier. Be sure to come see the Frontier-fied Shiori and me that day ♪

 **Michiru:**That sounds interesting. Maybe I'll bring Akira and Mei Fan with me to go watch.

 **Yachiyo:**What, everyone?

 **Michiru:**Maybe we'll watch where you guys can clearly see us ♪

 **Yachiyo:**Ugh, let sleeping dogs lie. It'll be a good show, so bring us some chocolate, okay?

 **Michiru:**Only if it's actually a good show ♪

 **Yachiyo:**Nope, I'll take you at your word. Happy Valentine, please come again ♪

Valentine Report

 **Yachiyo:**"To the Siegfeld Institute of Music's Board of Directors. The relationship between the students and the Edels on Valentine's Day—"

 **Yachiyo:**"To begin with, Siegfeld, where the king and his knights stand and reign, and the chocolate-giving event go well together..."

 **Yachiyo:**"Even though there are no special social events held at this school on Valentine's Day, every year it leads to boisterous festivities."

 **Yachiyo:**"As one who was caught up in the whirlpool of such festivities again this year, I've compiled the events in this report."

 **Yachiyo:**"First, while it's not recommended to bring chocolates into the school, when it comes to chocolates for the Edels, anyone can give them chocolates anywhere."

 **Yachiyo:**"As evidence, Frau Platin - Akira Yukishiro was surrounded by students just by walking around the dorm and On school grounds."

 **Yachiyo:**"This year was no exception. The subjects were able to muster up the courage to give chocolate to their revered king, Akira Yukishiro."

 **Yachiyo:**"Perhaps it's because they were chocolates for the king, but many of them were in creative shapes."

 **Yachiyo:**"Chocolate in the shape of crowns, scepters and other motifs of royal authority. There was also a chocolate bust of Akira Yukishiro - it looked outstanding."

 **Yachiyo:**"However, our king, being of noble existence, won't directly accept chocolates."

 **Yachiyo:**"When she brings along Liu Mei Fan, the chocolates are passed to her. When she isn't there, it's insisted that they be sent to the dorm."

 **Yachiyo:**"Maybe her walking speed has become faster than last year's? Or perhaps she's tired of the extreme approaches made by her subjects?"

 **Yachiyo:**"Could it be—? It's hard to believe, but could she be embarrassed? No, I shouldn't read too much into this and leave it as being a possibility."

 **Yachiyo:**"The opposite of the king is Frau Saphir — Michiru Otori, who gladly accepted each chocolate and said thanks with a bright smile."

 **Yachiyo:**"She tried to spend time with each and every one — chatting about chocolate and what they would like in return. A response that was very much like her."

 **Yachiyo:**"Students who were touched by her actions took on the role to carry her chocolates by themselves. A stark contrast to the king."

 **Yachiyo:**"Then, the Edel whom students feel the closest to is the famous Liu Mei Fan."

 **Yachiyo:**"As she's played many male roles this year, chances of being met with enthusiasm when giving chocolates are getting higher."

 **Yachiyo:**"However, her responses were usually ones like, 'I'll meet those expectations of yours as Frau Rubin!' or 'It's thanks to your support that I'm able to shine on stage'."

 **Yachiyo:**"It appears that she wasn't even aware of their feelings. But interestingly, the recipients were satisfied with those responses."

 **Yachiyo:**"It must be because everyone in Siegfeld is aware of Liu Mei Fan's straightforwardness and passion towards the stage."

 **Yachiyo:**"On top of that, a point worthy of special mention is, she took it upon herself to receive Akira Yukishiro's chocolates."

 **Yachiyo:**"She received the chocolates while thanking them for supporting the king. Her actions were worthy of a knight."

 **Yachiyo:**"And regarding this report's writer, Yachiyo Tsuruhime—"

 **Yachiyo:**"Rather than my chocolates, I'd like to write about Shiori Yumeoji, my junior and also my partner."

 **Yachiyo:**"If Liu Mei Fan was the king's attendant to Akira Yukishiro, then Yachiyo Tsuruhime was a staff at an idol's handshake event for Shiori Yumeoji."

 **Yachiyo:**"Ever since Shiori Yumeoji played Belle in the "Beauty & the Beast", her popularity rose and she's been followed by the upperclassmen and met with both chocolate and passion."

 **Yachiyo:**"With her personality, she faced their feelings head on and talked with each one to convey her thanks. As a result, a long line formed right away."

 **Yachiyo:**"I kept track of time so that Shiori was able to convey her thanks within the timeframe and was able to accept everyone's chocolates."

 **Yachiyo:**"Now I'm sure everyone on the Board of Directors is curious as to how the students who had given chocolates to Fumi Yumeoji interacted with the younger sister."

 **Yachiyo:**"The Edels had been secretly anxious about this as well, but it was a groundless fear."

 **Yachiyo:**"There were a few students who gave Shiori chocolates while seeing her as her older sister."

 **Yachiyo:**"But that was just the minority. Many students gave chocolates to only Shiori - not as her sister's replacement but as the new Frau Jade."

 **Yachiyo:**"Shiori Yumeoji has been accepted as the true Frau Jade, not only among the Edels but also among the students of Siegfeld."

 **Yachiyo:**"For Shiori herself, because of what had happened in the past, even when the topic of her sister was brought up, she could respond confidently with no hesitations."

 **Yachiyo:**"It's fortunate that we're able to see her growth in such circumstances. For me to convey these normally hidden thoughts shows just how big the changes and effects were."

 **Yachiyo:**"This is the end Of the summary of the Edels on Valentine's Day. But should I add Yachiyo Tsuruhime's information to this report too?"

 **Yachiyo:**"Unfortunately, Akira Yukishiro will be entering the student council room shortly." —Speak of the devil.

 **Akira:**These dedicated espionages are useless. I didn't think you'd still be doing that...

 **Yachiyo:**If I don't do it occasionally, I'll get rusty. In any case, it's a special role for me.

 **Akira:**Pff, then hurry up and finish it before everyone finds out.

 **Yachiyo:**Roger that!

 **Yachiyo:**"I will write down the details of the result of me giving the other Edels surprise homemade chocolate in the next report."

 **Yachiyo:**Be careful of Mei Fan's test batch chocolates. She said she made it super spicy to match Akira-san's taste.

 **Yachiyo:**A mischievous yet slightly lazy pretty boy— Heh heh, come to think of it, Cupid's role is a perfect match for me.

 **Yachiyo:**But knowing that, it makes me want to play a role that's a complete opposite. It wouldn't be simple to understand.

 **Yachiyo:**I want to play seven roles by myself in a play next time. A play with all different kinds of Yachiyo Tsuruhime that befuddles all. Hm, in the end, I just like mischief ♪
