----------------------------------------
(Page3-9)
“Chieri! I told you not to follow me here!”
“Of course I’ll follow you until the ends of earth. Even if you tell me not to!”
(Chieri’s monologue continues while flashing scenes of her chasing Ryuuji towards the occult club room)
“I was so worried when we got separated at the entrance.”
“All these people suddenly surrounded me, telling ‘Hi here, hi there, we’ll continue to support you on your running for the top 5 positions and stuff’.”
“While we were at the classroom I also got no time at all to talk to you.”
“Then after school I suddenly found you heading towards the third floor.”
“Of course I followed you. And then… And then…”
“Uwaaaaaah~~” (Chieri cried suddenly. Flashback ends)
“Uwahh~~ your face. Why are you crying you pervert stalker” -Shiori
“It’s betrothed, not pervert stalker, you hundred-ranker”
“Ooooh, burn” – Ozzy
“Hey guys I think we are skipping multiple things undiscussed.” –Mae
“No! you be quiet! Now Ryuuji tell me exactly who is this human here. And what do you mean by her grabbing the top spot?”
“I’m telling you Chieri this has got nothing to do with you. Also please stop calling me betrothed I never agreed to it at the first place.”
“Wha—Noooo!!”
“EVERYBODY CALM DOWN!!” –Mae
----------------------------------------
(Pages 10-18)
(After calming down, all five of them are now seated around the meeting table
Chieri > Ryuuji > Mae > Shori > Ozzy)
“I still can’t understand what you have seen on this girl. Is she even within the top fifties?” Chieri
“For your information both Mae and I are within the bottom fifties!”
“Shiori I think you are using logic in a wrong manner.”
“Quit it Mae I won’t let you be insulted by this middle schooler and let them ruin our daily peaceful lives.”
“Middle Schoo—GRR!!!!”
“Hai Haiii~~ Quit it now both you two. Little Zambie-chans. Chieri you said that Ryuuji is your betrothed. Can you kindly give us a qick background check of such a cute Lolita what entered the clubroom?”

“Of course I’m Amatsuki, Chieri one of the current contenders for the new top 5 spot of the school’s popularity rankings”
“Continue”
“I really think we are really missing out that one, I remember her saying it multiple times already.”-Mae murmured.
“I am Ryuuji’s true! Only! Real! Remaining! Childhood friend! We are also engaged~~”
“No we’re not”
“Poor Ryuuji, after all he’s gone through from kindergarten to middle school. I was the one that always protected him…”
“And yet… *sobs* yet…”
“…”
“This witch put on some love potion on my poor Ryuuji’s drink this afternoon to allure him!”
“NO I DID NOT!”
“YES YOU DID!!”
“*What part of stop did you guys not understand??*” (Ozzy’s serious voice echoed the room and give the others chills. Chieri continued.)
“A-anyways… After all I’ve done for Ryuuji. He have always rejected me and never used his true talent on me… And yet…”
----------------------------------------
(Page 19)
(pov shift to Chieri)
(A flashback of when Ryuuji barged into the room, while Chieri was watching and hiding herself on a pillar.)
"SENPAI!! PLEASE BE MY MODEL AND WE'LL MAKE IT TO THE TOP RANKS OF THIS SCHOOL!!"
Ryuuji… Why…
----------------------------------------
(Page 20-28)
(Chieri started crying.)
“I have always… Always tried to show my best for Ryuuji… sobs* He never did once acknowledged me… And yet he just saw you once and he immediately decided to support you.”
“Hoah~ What are we now, a shoujo manga?” -Shiori
“I don’t understand… Why does it have to be you!!”
“As I’ve been telling you, I also ask the same question myself: Why does it have to be me?”
“As I’ve been telling you, It’s just an intuition. It’s like a spark. Something will work out if we work together! Just trust me on this.”
“Ryuuji…. Noooo!! Just stick with meeeee~~”
“We are lost again on this topic, without discussing this little one being on the running for top 5.”
“Yes, you witch!! Now that you have said it! I challenge you to take me on and compete for top 5!”
“How about a no and a flat-out rejection.”
“Booo! Scaredy cat!”
“Oh please, just let this day end.”
“OOOOOKAAAY!! LITTLE ZAMBIE-CHANS!! I’VE LAID IT ALL OUT! WITH THE X AND Y AXIS THIS ROUTE WILL NEVER FAIL!!”
“What is it ozzy-senpai. Please call this a day already and please don’t let this two oddballs in our club. I don’t really feel good having them around.”
(Shift pov to Mae)
Honestly, with the current happenings this past few minutes being so cramped up, I just wanted to go home and have a good night rest.
We can discuss whatever this is tomorrow and agree to one thing.
“--So, how about it?”
“Eh? What? Ozzy-senpai?”
“Sheesh, I’ve said why not have a trial-run this coming club campaigning period? Let’s have Ryuuji style you up and you will be our club muse.”
“Ryuuji and Chieri will be trial members of our club to avoid being disbanded. It helps both of us.”
“Eh?” (Dead-fish eyes Mae)
(Chieri stood up and grabbed Ryuuji to head out.)
“Ouch!”
“Seems like this meeting is adjourned. No problems on both of us here. Senpai, let me tell you this:”
(Full-page)
“I, Amatsuki, Chieri, will take the top 5 spot and will wait for you there. You are years too early to compete with the almost perfectly cute me. Start out with minor campaigns.”
“You can have Ryuuji style you as much since I don’t want to chain him with me. But remember, I will make him acknowledge me, the same time as I obliterate you and your dreams of competing for ‘Takane no Hana’.”
“Bye, Mae-senpai, see you tomorrow. hehe”
(They left the club room.)
I didn’t even wished to compete…
----------------------------------------
(Page 29-32)
(Walking outside at the school corridor, Chieri let go of Ryuuji’s hand and walked towards the front.)
(Ryuuji pov)
“Chieri, I wish you’d understand, but I really have no intentions of agreeing with our parent’s arrangements and plans for us.”
I really should put a stop to Chieri’s delusions. It’s getting worse.
I know that Chieri’s intentions and feelings are real…
But…
(Full page)
(Chieri turns towards him, crying.)
“I will make you acknowledge me. Sobs*… Even though you have set your eyes to someone already.”
I’m afraid that if I shot her down immediately I might lose the only remaining friend that I have.
I don’t want that.
“I know, Chieri, but now I want to bet what I have with Mae-senpai.”
(Chieri continues to cry as Ryuuji approach her and pats her head.)
“I know I sound selfish.. But as much as you can, please prove yourself too. It's fine by me.”
"Hm!" (Chieri nodds.)
