Oi, did you hear?
Apparently, if you leave your shoe locker open on February 14th, the upperclassmen might randomly give you something to help with finals…
Nah, that ain’t it. What I heard was that you’d get the legendary lifelong cafeteria discount coupon that’s been passed down from generation to generation.
For real? I mean, it’s fucking sick either way. I kinda want it…
……
Heheheh.
Ahh, I hope my shoe locker gets chosen…
What is it again? A map to some treasure that an alum buried somewhere on the field?
Heheheheheheh.
And why exactly are you snickering to yourself like a creep?
Uu-chan and I were just discussing how you might have been the one that started the rumors regarding the shoe lockers.
Eggsactly! Ah, no snitching, please.
*sigh* The people in my class keep yapping about it to the other classes, it’s lowkey getting annoying.
I see, so if the cuckoo does not open the lockers, then you will make it do so.1
The tactical brilliance you showed in spreading all those rumors about yearnings that any student would jump at was truly enlightening.
You get it! The seeds have been sown, so…
All there’s left is to wait for D-day!
Good morning and Happy Valentine’s Day to you all. Did you sleep well last night? Did you make sure to have enough energy for today?
‘Course! I got me a full 10 hours of sleep!
Yeah, I made sure to do my warm-ups too.
We’re all here to act as the Community Improvement Club’s external advisors, so we have to be ready!
I can’t believe the shoe locker area is this huge… Can’t expect anything less from HAMA’s biggest school.
We’re always grateful to Asu High for letting us use the campus for our tours. I hope this turns into another great opportunity for us to show our hospitality…!
Regarding your concern about the locks, we were able to confirm that all of them are currently unlocked.
I do have my own worries as an instructor, however… Today, I shall dare to say the following: Bravo, truly splendid work.
And now, a word from the originator of this project, Isotake-kun.
Guys… For real, thanks for helping me out with all this.
We all worked hard for this day.
Coming up with the designs for the chocolate and stuff was super fun!
Today…
Marks the disbandment of Plan Give ‘n’ Get’s executive committee!!
…Well, naturally.
Alright, let’s start giving out the Tiril chocolate that the Love Guru himself put his whole heart into!
……
But who’ll get…the chocolate that you put your heart into…?
Hm?
…No, I shouldn’t be thinking about that right now.
My adorable little brothers are counting on me. I’ll get this done in 30 minutes maximum. Hmph!
Woah, Kamina-san’s crazy fast…!
Follow his lead, men!
Yeeaaah!
Alright, I’ll start from over here!
In order to make sure we don’t miss any lockers, I shall double check each one and lock them in turn.
Heave, ho.
Tirna, Tirmian, Tirmitri… I hope your new friends treat you well.
(He gave names to all of the chocolates…?)
Man, opening up a shoe locker like this sure takes me back…
Okay…! After I put the chocolate in the locker, I’ll just open it again, and…
Waaaahh!
What’re you doing, Toi-san?
Oh, when you do this, it kind of feels like you’re the one getting chocolate! It’s just so exciting…! You should try it too, Tao-kun!
Good morning.
Tally-ho! Our reinforcements have arrived!
We’ll give you guys a hand.
You…can leave…the lockers…on top…to me.
We will do our best to assist. Uu-chan, you should say something too.
This counts as unpaid overtime, doesn’t it? Unbelievable. In so many ways.
(He says all of that, but he’s still willing to help. This is good. We might be able to finish before school starts…!)
Hey, did you get one too?
Oh, yeah. Some Tiril chocolate…!
……
Looks like everyone in our class got one. Don’t tell me it was left in every single locker…?
No way, bro! There’s ten thousand people in this school, y’know?
……
More importantly, the hell’s this “Love Guru” thing?
Who knows…
Well, for a Valentine’s Day surprise or whatever, it was pretty good. I don’t know who did this, but it made me a bit happy.
…!
Hehehehe… Bwahahaha.
(Plan Give ‘n’ Get’s a HUGE success…!)
*bells ringing*
Alllrighty then, time to head out for lunch ♪
(I wonder if everyone’s talking about it in the cafeteria? Maybe I’ll go sneak a quick peek—)
Isotake, we have a problem…!

A reference to a famous saying written by an unknown author about famous samurai and daimyo, Toyotomi Hideyoshi: “If the cuckoo does not cry, I will make it do so.” This saying is often combined with two other similar sayings: “If the cuckoo does not cry, I will kill it,” and “If the cuckoo does not cry, I will wait until it does so.” These phrases are said to summarize the personalities of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu, respectively. ↩
