Opening a door with a golden plate engraved with "Student Council", a girl with dark hazel hair reaching her lower back entered the large room with a pant. In her hand were various folders and papers, and on her blazer was a school pin with the emblem and "Student Council Member" engraved in it. She put down the items in her arms onto a small table at the side, before closing her dark coloured eyes and sighing, taking a seat at the long, rectangular shaped meeting room table where her fellow Student Council Members were waiting at.

"I'm so sorry for being late..." The girl said, running her flustered fingers through her fringe.

"No worries, Mizuho-san." Ai said, sitting at the top of the table, smiling. "Now, registration shall begin," He looked at his fellow members and nodded, before looking down at the tablet with a register open. "Hasegawa Serena?"

"Here." Serena said, sitting in the top row.

"Kimura Sakura?"

"Present!" Sakura replied cheerily, sitting in the middle row.

"Kurokaze Hinami?"

"Here!" Hinami waved, sitting across Serena.

"Kyoko Ai... oh hey, that's me." Ai laughed, ticking himself off. "Nanami Mizuho?"

"Here!" The hazel haired girl exclaimed, sitting across Sakura.

"Seishun Kirikou?"

"Yo." Kirikou said, sitting astray from everyone else. He was in the corner of the room, typing away at his computer.

"Everyone's here..." Ai nodded, letting out a small laugh. "That's great."

"Um, Student Council President Ai!" Mizuho shot her hand into the air. "W-why were we summoned here?"

"As you and Sakura are both 1st year Seigatsu newbies, it's time to initiate you into the first annual Seigtasu event!" Ai exclaimed, slamming his hand in the middle of the table. "It's time for Seigatsu's Annual Christmas Festival!"

"Christmas..." Mizuho repeated under her breath.

"Festival...?" Sakura finished off with a raised eyebrow.

(Opening here)

"It's a Seigatsu tradition to hold a festival in school during Christmas. Open to even people outside the school, we're pretty famous for this thing." Ai explained. "Last year, one of our former members, Ayaza, dressed up as a turkey and there was a chase after him. Whoever caught him would give a club of their choice a budget increase."

"I remember that." Hinami laughed, nodding. "You and Asakawa also dressed up as turkeys to act as decoys."

"And the year before that one, we managed to get a pretty big idol to come visit, so that was pretty packed..." Serena said, rubbing her temples remembering that event.

"I wasn't even in Seigatsu at the time... I only remember being dragged into it since Yumi was there." Ai laughed.

"This sounds fun!" Sakura cheered. "Our first Christmas Festival..."

"And it's the Council's job to piece it together. This year, I'm thinking..." Ai rocked back in his chair, smirking.

"We should hold another hunt?" Hinami asked.

"Bring in a special guest?" Serena asked.

"Do something based on Vanguard?" Sakura added.

"Why not all three?" Ai leaned forward, resting his head on his hand. "Shinsei Yozora, 2nd year, Class 2-A. In school, he's just the shy music kid with above average grades. Outside of school? He leads a second life as a famous idol... Naito! And you know what one of Naito's sponsors are?! Vanguard!! Let's have everyone chase him!"

"So... how are you going to convince him to be part of your schemes?" Kirikou asked in a low, grumbly voice.

"With Nomura Chiharu, 2nd year, Class 2-A, and is also known as Yozora's girlfriend!" Ai exclaimed. "If he's gonna do anything for anyone, it'd be his girlfriend, right?"

As Yozora and Chiharu walked down the frosty streets to school, Chiharu tilted her head to Yozora with a nervous face. Yozora looked at her and patted her head.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Well... I need to ask you about something." Chiharu said.

"What is it?" Yozora asked.

"Are you willing to be Naito for the Christmas Festival and be chased around the school so whoever catches you gets tickets to your concert and some Vanguard cards?" Chiharu asked.

"Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... no." Yozora said.

"Good, I don't want you to be involved in this either." Chiharu huffed and hugged him. "I wanna spend the festival with you!"

"Welp, that busted." Ai slammed a couple books onto the table and thought about it.

"We need to sweeten the deal." Serena said, pouring out a cup of coffee. "I mean, what does Yozora get from participating?"

"That's... very true." Ai sighed, and looked down. "Any suggestions, team?"

"We should pay him." Hinami said, flicking through a couple sheets of paper.

"The dude probably earns a pay check of a million dollars." Ai scoffed, leaning back in his seat. "I don't think money will tempt him."

"Well, I could ask Chiharu to poke him again." Serena said, placing a mug of coffee in front of Ai. "If she asks enough, I'm sure he'll break."

"Ah, thank you." Ai asked, taking the coffee and drinking it. "But would Chiharu really do that for us again?"

"My pleasure." Serena nodded, before taking a seat across from Hinami. "Hmm... I guess you're right..."

"Blackmail." Kirikou whispered under his breath.

"What'd you say?" Ai asked, swivelling on his chair to look at Kirikou who was at his small desk, tapping away at a computer per usual.

"I think he said blackmail!" Mizuho raised a hand. Kirikou nodded.

"Kirikou, you genius!!" Ai exclaimed, before getting a slap across the face by Hinami.

"No. No blackmail. We shouldn't be setting this kind of example to our kouhai." Hinami stated, staring down at Ai with a death glare. Crossing her arms and using her hand to gesture to Mizuho and Sakura, Hinami let out a growl at Ai.

"Ow..." Ai rubbed his cheek. "Well... it's for a good cause..."

"And I have dirt on Yozora." Kirikou added at the end.

"Ai, Kiri..." Hinami closed her eyes and grinned with a malicious temper radiating off her. "DID YOU NOT HEAR A SINGLE WORD I SAY?!"

"I'm partially deaf, partially blind, partially don't give a shit and honestly really just want to get this Christmas Festival over and done with..." Kirikou sighed.

"Jeez... and you call yourself a Student Council Member?" Hinami glared at Kirikou.

"I am one, aren't I?" Kirikou asked.

"Cut it out you two..." Serena sighed. "Hinami, I understand where your coming from but..."

"But you think it's the only way...?" Hinami huffed, crossing her arms and sitting down. "Alright then... in the spirit of democracy, I'll bite the bullet... but if this gets leaked to everyone else that we bullied Yozora into doing this, then I'm not involved, and you three are by yourselves."

"Kurokaze-Senpai is scary..." Sakura whispered to Mizuho.

"She can either be an angel, or a demon, depending on the circumstances..." Mizuho laughed.

"I guess she's Seishun-Senpai's demon." Sakura chuckled.

"Apparently those two go way back..." Mizuho continued her whispers. "Seishun-Senpai joined the Student Council just to mess with her, and the two used to get into a lot of fights back in middle school. They argue like an old couple..."

"Poor Club Pres..." Sakura said. "It must be hard trying to control those two..."

"We can hear you." Kirikou and Hinami said at the same time.

"Kirikou is a terrible person, don't listen to him." Hinami said, putting her hands on the first year's shoulders.

"I really wanna sleep..." Kirikou yawned.

"There you go again, not taking things seriously and preferring to take a nap... god, Ai, when can we kick Kiri?"

"The moment you stop using an affectionate nickname like Kiri for him." Ai said, causing red to spread on Hinami's face.

"Why you little-"

Ai cut Hinami off, and put on a high-pitched voice. "Oh Kiri-kun, I love you so much! Please take my home made bento box as a token of my gratitude~!"

"Dude, we nearly murdered each other in middle school..." Kirikou deadpanned.

"Are you sure you two weren't trying to kiss? I mean, Kiri got on Hinami a lot and tried wrestling her to the ground..."

Mizuho's face turned red in an instant, as Sakura rolled on the floor laughing. Serena gazed at the trio of friends amused, with Kirikou shaking his head and letting out a regretful sigh. Hinami on the other hand marched to Ai, and raised her hand into the air, before unleashing a devastating slap across Ai's pale cheeks. She then let out a string of anger fuelled curse words at Ai, grabbing him by the collar and shaking him like he was a toy. Serena stood up and grabbed Hinami by the waist, pulling her away from Ai who had a smug grin on his face.

"Calm down Hinami..." Serena said, her arms restraining the brunette. She was kicking and yelling, trying to get herself free from Serena's surprisingly strong grip.

"Serena, you've seen what Ai's doing! Stop him! He's making a mockery out of me! Restrain him! Look at his smug smile!" Hinami whined as Ai laughed nervously.

"I'm joking Hinami-"

"I don't care, you don't throw around those words so carelessly damn it!" She squealed, closing her eyes and stopping her small temper tantrum.

"Let's go get lunch, okay?" Serena hummed as she carried Hinami out of the room.

"Fine..."

"Well, at least she didn't murder me." Ai rubbed his cheek and walked over to Kirikou, who was laying his head on the table. "What's the dirt on Yozora?"

"It's the kind of stuff that could cause a scandal." Kirikou said simply, sitting up and clicking on his computer. Opening his folders, he scrolled through the list of items inside the computer, before landing on a file that was named "Yozora Shinsei Scandal".

"You did some digging, huh..." Ai squinted at the screen as Kirikou opened the file. "...seriously?"

"Yep." Kirikou laid back in his seat, smirking. "Our favourite Yozora Shinsei may not be as innocent as we think."

"Who would've known..." Ai muttered.

"Show us!" Mizuho and Sakura scrambled over, peering over the two boy's shoulders.

"Shinsei-senpai is a terrible person..." Sakura shook her head.

"Umm... could someone explain to me what a stepping kink is?" Mizuho asked simply, her face going cherry red yet again.

"Mizuho's way too innocent." Ai laughed, putting a hand on her head and rubbing it. "You don't need to know. But will this really be enough to cause a scandal...?"

"Imagine if your kinks were leaked to the world." Kirikou said, clicking off the file and shutting down the computer. "I don't think you'd enjoy that."

"Seishun-senpai, you shouldn't be unnecessarily cruel." Mizuho said.

"We're just blackmailing him for a good cause." Kirikou replied. "Besides, it'll be a more fun experience for everyone if we get Naito to come and sing for the festival."

"Ehh... I guess." Mizuho said sheepishly, looking down. "I-I just don't think we should be doing this..."

"I get what you mean." Ai said, scratching the back of his head. "I have my qualms about this as well, but we've got no other choice. If it helps, if this gets leaked, I'll pin the blame on me and Kiri."

"N-no! I'm part of the School Council! I've also been here the entire time you guys have been scheming! I'm just as guilty as you two are!" Mizuho exclaimed.

"How noble..." Kirikou nodded with crossed arms. "Well, if you want to be dragged into this, you can help us out at the very least."

"Whatever you guys need, me and Mizuho can do it!" Sakura grinned.

"Just slip this into Yozora's locker during break." Kirikou handed a letter to Sakura. "Got that?"

"Hai, wakarimashita!" Sakura gave a salute.

"Now... we just need to wait and see..." Ai sighed, sitting down at the table.

Not long after Sakura planted the letter inside Yozora's locker, the school day had came to an end. As the students left their classrooms and moved into the hallways to make their way to the academy's exit, Ai, Hinami and Mizuho stayed back in the Student Council Room to clear up and finish off documents. The atmosphere was lax and quiet, with everyone doing their own workload and keeping to themselves. It didn't last long however, as bursting into the room with a defeated look written on his face was Yozora, holding a scrunched up letter in his hand.

"I'll do it... I'll participate in the festival..." He dropped to his knees at the entrance, tossing the crumpled sheet onto the floor.

"I'm glad you'll comply." Ai smiled, standing up and walking over to him, offering a hand. "This is gonna be a great festival now that you're on board!"

"Tch." Hinami sighed, shaking her head. Yozora took Ai's hand and stood up, looking over to the brunette who walked away bitterly.

"Ah, don't take Hinami's abrasive personality too seriously. She can be kind and sweet as well." Ai said, patting Yozora on the shoulder. "She's got nothing against you. You can call it personal beef..."

"Right..." Yozora nodded. "Uh... Kyoko-senpai-"

"Please, call me Ai. No need for honourifics either, you're doing a massive favour for me."

"Sure... So, Ai." Yozora said, walking over to the table and taking a seat. "I have to be chased around by a bunch of students so they can win tickets for my concert, a budget raise for their club and vanguard stuff?"

"Correct." Ai said, sitting across from him.

"And after that, I do a live performance and call it a day?"

"Yep!"

"I'm not ready at all..." Yozora shook his head, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Ah, cheer up. The festival's in two weeks, plenty of time to get ready." Ai tapped Yozora on the arm, giving a reassuring grin. "You'll do great out there."

"I'm far from the athletic type, though..." Yozora said, as Hinami put a cup of coffee in front of Yozora. "A-ah, you didn't have to-"

"It's only good manners of the housekeeper to offer a drink to their guests." Hinami said, turning away and going back to her work.

"Try some." Ai pointed at the cup. "Hinami's coffee is the best."

"H-here Kyoko-senpai..." Mizuho clumsily placed a cup of coffee in front of Ai. "H-Hinami made it for you."

"Did she now?" Ai smirked and looked over his shoulder to see a red faced Hinami.

"There was some left over coffee after brewing Shinsei-san's cup... d-don't think I made that cup for you..." Hinami muttered under her breath.

"How sweet. Thanks Hinami~!" Ai grinned and took a large sip. Yozora picked up his cup and took a small sip, his eyebrows perking in surprise.

"Wow..." Yozora took another sip. "This coffee's so different to anything I've tasted before!"

"That's Hinami for ya. Big Sis of the Student Council I tell you." Ai said, before being hit by a pencil. "Ow..."

"Don't call me embarrassing things like "Big Sis of the Student Council"!" She glared.

"Sorry Sis..." Ai snickered as another pencil came flying his way. "Anyways, back to business. You think you can do it?"

"I don't have a choice..." Yozora sighed. "Yeah... I can."

"Great! Come back here soon, we'll help sort out the other details." Ai smiled, presenting his hand to Yozora. "As a token of our new partnership."

"As a token of our new partnership..." Yozora used his hand to shake Ai's as Mizuho looked at the two with a wide smile.

Two weeks had passed by quickly for Yozora, as he was now standing on a grand stage at the front of the school as Naito. He looked around and gripped his microphone tightly, tucking a few strands of hair behind his ear as he watched the people working on the festival run around setting up seats in front of the elevated platform.

"Hey, our main man Naito!" Ai exclaimed, chucking a bottle of water at him. Yozora caught it with difficulty, sighing.

"That wasn't necessary..." Yozora mumbled, placing the microphone into the stand. He opened the bottle and drank from it, before tossing it back to Ai who caught it with ease. "But thanks."

"What song will you be performing? I hope you'll do Frontier, or Beautiful Smile, since I loved those songs from your album the most." Ai said, as Yozora nodded his head.

"Frontier is going to be my closing act as it's my most popular song right now... Beautiful Smile is happening somewhere near the middle." He explained.

"Sweet! Can't wait for it!" Ai grinned, running up and onto the stage to join Yozora.

"Eh? What are you doing here?" Yozora asked, as Ai picked up the microphone from it's stand.

"As Student Council President, I need to tell everyone here what's happening!" Ai spoke into the microphone, which reverberated his voice around the area. Putting the microphone away from his mouth, he talked to Yozora normally. "While your running around the school, I'll be here screaming my heart out, just like my older sis did the last two years."

"Ah... I see..." Yozora nodded. Ai put a hand on his shoulder and smiled.

"Though, you'll need to stay here for the opening ceremony. Speaking of which... we'll be letting everyone in about..."

"Now...?" Yozora mumbled as Ai gave a thumbs up and ran to the front of the stage, looking into the distance to see the gates of the school open wide with a loud, metal creak.

As they swung open, the line of people waiting outside began pouring in, walking through the barriers and onto the vast and open wildlife at the front of the school; following the white tiled path that went straight down and inside of the academy. Everyone that walked past the gates followed the path, and as such ended up in front of the stage and it's seats. People split off to sit in front of the stage, or walk around it to enter the building behind. Nevertheless, their attention was caught by the surprise appearance of Naito and the loud voice of Ai vibrating in the air.

"Hello one, hello all! I'm your Student Council President, Ai Kyoko, and today I'll be presenting to you all the Seigatsu Christmas Festival: Christmas Naito!! It's aptly named after our very special guest and very talented singer, Naito!" Ai exclaimed, pointing at Yozora who waved at the crowd of people passing by. "Now, if you would take a seat, we can start the opening ceremony before we get into the main events!"

"I'm so proud of my baby Yozocchi!" Chiharu exclaimed, sobbing into the sleeve of her arm as she, Shika, Rukia and Zeon made their way through the hoard of people, and found their way at the back of the chairs set up in front of the stage. The group of friends took a seat to listen more closely to what Ai was explaining on what was happening.

"As per usual, we have stands, attractions and other fun things in the festival, both inside and outside! It's never a dull moment as long as your here! And this year we've got the special guest Naito, who's agreed to come here and perform live! But, there's a catch! Following last year, there'll be a chase... a chase for the idol Naito! If you catch him, not only does a club of your choice get a raise in budget, but you get a ticket to one of his live concerts, and some sweet, sweet Vanguard merch in the process! This special event to chase Naito will begin in approximately ten minutes! And in these ten minutes, our guest of honour shall begin his runaway, so if you catch him anywhere during those ten minutes, it will not count. Everyone, good luck... AND HAVE FUN! THIS WAS YOUR STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT, AI, OVER AND OUT!" Ai slammed the microphone back into the stand as Yozora gave one last cheerful wave to the crowd, and ran off as everyone watched him leave.

"I'm so gonna catch Naito..." Shika huffed, his eyes gleaming with vigour. Chiharu's eye twitched upon hearing the announcement, and an almost devil-like aura radiated off her. Fire was burning inside her soul, and Zeon scooted away from the group, unable to handle the almost deadly air Chiharu gave off.

"...they're gonna try and hurt my baby Yozocchi..." She muttered like a broken record on repeat. "...I'm gonna murder them..."

"Hey Shika, is it still a good idea to try and catch him now?" Zeon asked, scratching the back of his head with a nervous laugh.

"YEAH! I NEED THAT BUDGET INCREASE DAMN IT!" Shika roared, standing up with energy coursing inside his body.

"NOT ON MY WATCH YOU DON'T!" Chiharu hissed back, ready to grab Naito with her own two hands.

"How about you Rukia?" Zeon asked, looking at Rukia. It seemed like she wasn't paying attention, as her eyes drifted off into space. She didn't pay much attention to Ai either, spacing out while Shika and Chiharu were glaring at one another.

"...eh?" She raised a brow, snapping out of her trance as Zeon lightly chuckled.

"Never mind... What are you planning to do?" He asked.

"I don't know..." Rukia replied honestly. "I'm gonna get some food probably. That's always a highlight of Seigatsu Festivals."

"I wonder if Rino's set up his make shift restaurant again." Zeon said, laughing.

"Yeah..." Rukia nodded.

"You wanna go together?" Zeon asked.

"I guess?"

"It's okay if you don't."

"Nah, it's fine... I'll join."

"Uh... alright then."

"AND YOU CAN START! THE CHASE FOR NAITO IS ON!" Ai screamed into the mic as the majority of people in the chairs stood up and began exploring around the academy to find the idol.

However, the idol of question was tucked away at the top floor of the school, in the Student Council Room where he was being taken care of by Hinami and Kirikou. Yozora sat on the floor, under the window, as he sipped on some freshly brewed coffee by Hinami, who was scolding Kirikou while he was on his computer typing a report.

"Kiri..." Hinami growled, putting a hand each on his shoulders. "For once in your life, could you not be staring at a computer screen and help me out here?! You should be trying at least, since you were the one who lumped him into this mess!"

"I'm sorry that you feel so guilty that you had to take him in." Kirikou sighed, continuing his report without much discomfort. "But c'mon, it's a win-win for everyone..."

"No it isn't! Yozora could be spending his festival with his girlfriend and having the best time of his life, but no, he's stuck in here because if he goes outside a mob of people will be after him!" Hinami exclaimed.

"Who cares? It's a festival, there's always next year." Kirikou muttered.

"Kiri..." Hinami sighed, squeezing his shoulders. "It's his first Seigatsu Festival and we ruined it for him... Don't you feel a shred of remorse or guilt?!"

"Festivals are stupid." Kirikou said, yawning. "Instead of yammering in my ear, ask Yozora what he would've wanted, instead of making blind assumptions. Maybe he's like me and hates this kind of thing."

"Grr... why are you always like this?!" Hinami shouted. "You act so different towards everything! You act like you can't get involved! You act like you can't have fun! You act like your a lone wolf and it's so frustrating! You can't believe how frustrating it is Kiri! I hate you! I LOATHE YOU KIRIKOU!"

"And I loathe you too, Hinami." Kirikou said, patting Hinami's hand, which at this point was squeezing so hard on his shoulder, it looked like it would break the bone. "That's the first time in ten years I've heard you use my full name."

"Get your hand off me..." Hinami sniffled, loosening her grip on his shoulders. Kirikou removed his hand, and went back to typing. "I said it... I called you Kirikou... are you happy now?!"

"Not really." Kirikou said, smiling.

"Liar!" Hinami exclaimed.

"Uhh... not to intrude, but... what the heck guys...?" Yozora asked, staring at the two with an almost traumatised face. Hinami and Kirikou glanced at each other, before Hinami let out a sigh and Kirikou laughed under his breath.

"I'm sorry Yozora..." Hinami said, walking over to him and sitting down on the floor beside him. "You see, me and Kiri... well."

"We have a "history" together if you would call it that." Kirikou said, shutting down his computer. "Hina's just being a frustrated little girl because she doesn't understand me at all."

"Don't call me a little girl!" Hinami exclaimed.

"You sure act like one at times." Kirikou said, using his chair to scoot over in front of the two.

"Tch... and you act way too old for your age, Grandpa Kiri."

"I'll take it as a compliment, Little Hina."

"Seriously, I'm confused... explanation, please?" Yozora asked, as Kirikou nodded.

"It started back in elementary school, where me and Hinami were in the same class. By some miracle we were friends, I guess." Kirikou said. "Let's say a few complications happened."

"As we grew older, we grew further apart. Soon our friendship turned sour." Hinami said, hugging her knees. "We'd get into arguments, fights and other scuffles because of our differences, and I thought I could leave Kiri behind in high school, but being the annoying person he is, he had to also enrol in Seigatsu..."

"I guess I took it too far when I joined the Student Council because you did." Kirikou admitted. "But basically, we've just been seeing each other's faces for the past twelve or so years almost everyday. And to make it clear, we hate each other."

"I refuse to call Kiri by his full given name..."

"And I call Hinami "Hina" because I find it funny."

"So what you just witnessed was my frustrations spewing out at Kiri since he's the one who blackmailed you in the first place!"

"That'd be true."

"And I've had it here with his indifferent personality! He doesn't care... he acts like he's distant, like it's cool or something! These are the exact reasons why we drifted apart, Kiri! I LOATHE YOU!"

"You can't loathe me if you still talk to me. Hell, you're way too kind for your own good, Hina... even though I've been an ass to you, you still brew me a cup of coffee everyday, clean my workspace when I'm not looking and still try and take care of me like I was your younger brother or something." Kirikou said.

"H...huh?" Hinami blinked, looking up at him, turning red faced. "You... noticed?"

"Who wouldn't notice if someone they've known for over a decade did something for them..."

"This is embarrassing..."

"It's sweet."

"You're the worst..."

"We're both the worst."

"Why do you refuse to do even join the festivals anyways..." Hinami mumbled, covering her eyes with her hands.

"Cuz I have more fun hearing you then it is to walk around and do nothing for a couple of hours." Kirikou said.

"Again... these kinds of answers are why you're so frustrating to be around..." Hinami sniffled, wiping her cheeks. "Give me an answer that makes sense for once..."

"Would it make sense if I told you..."

Hinami's eyes widened as she heard what left Kirikou's mouth. Kirikou smiled, and stood up from his chair, kneeling to help Hinami to her feet.

"And I have no idea how to express it."

"IDIOT!" Hinami punched Kirikou in the face, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I... I... I lo... I lov..."

"I loathe you?"

"No... I..."

Kirikou smiled upon hearing Hinami's confession. He closed the distance between them by stepping forward and awkwardly hugging her after all these years.

"...I feel like I'm watching an anime..." Yozora muttered.

"Do you want to spend the festival together...?" Kirikou asked.

"Yeah... it's your last year here Kiri..." Hinami said, punching him lightly in the arm. "You should enjoy it..."

"I'm already enjoying it." Kirikou said, returning the punch. "As long as your here, life at Seigatsu never gets dull."

"Idiot... you're one of the most dumbest, thickest, most stupid people I've met Kiri... you're a total idiot."

"I know. And I like it that way."

"Don't change..."

"I won't."

Kirikou and Hinami opened the door of the Student Council Room, and left, going downstairs to enjoy themselves in the Festival. However, Yozora sat under the window, shocked beyond explanation at what he had witnessed.

"Did... did they just forget I existed...?" Yozora asked himself.

And so, as the saying goes, alls well that ends well. Yozora was found by Chiharu, Naito performed a live concert, Hinami and Kirikou became a bickering couple, Zeon found himself hanging out with Lucine and Chouji instead of his friends, Rukia's still staring off into space, Ai is still screaming into a microphone, Yumi and Asakawa were meant to appear but never got the chance to, Maxios is probably still a cripple, Ryuzaki is off somewhere fighting Riku in a giant safe made of gold within a golden bath while money is raining down because he wants to stop her from doing money thot things to Iku, and "everyone's favourite" Fubuki and the protagonist he (usually) slays, Raijin probably had a Thunderous Rebellion Christmas Special spending time in the festival. Who knows, though? From everyone at the CCEU and Z World, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!

Oh yeah, this chapter's canon.
