Solving Requests!
You changed into the black jacket uniform of Hakoniwa Academy.
(Y/N): So, this is the attire of the Student Council? Hmmm ... I don't know if it fits me.
Medaka: I think it suits you just fine (Y/N). Black is your color.
(Y/N): Yes, I- Why do you appear behind someone like that, Medaka?
Medaka: I just checked the suggestion box. As of tomorrow, maintaining and checking the suggestion box will be your job. The job takes is of the highest priority, so make sure you don't slack off.
And so...
The request wasn't taken anonymously.
???: Uh ... I'm sorry. To tell you the truth, I didn't really think that this was something I should be talking to first years about.
Ariake
(Y/N): It's fine.
Medaka: I'll take anyone's requests. Go on.
Ariake brought forth a note that said, "Quit the Athletics Club." As well as a destroyed pair of shoes.
Medaka: How horrific.
Arika: I was chosen to represent the school in the sprint in the next competition. I was really happy as it's pretty rare that a second year gets chosen to represent the school. My Spikes were like this one week ago when I found them.
(Y/N): Do you have any ideas of who could have done it?
Ariake: I don't know, anyone could have done it. Actually, I don't trust any of them! It's traditional that the competition for a regular place on the team here at Hakoiwa High is rough. It's probably normal to be treated a little hostilely after being chosen for a place, right? That's why I was ready for something to happen. But I never thought anyone would go this far!
Medaka: You cherish these shoes quite wholeheartedly.
Arika: I even have to use trainers now. I can't go to the coach about it either, I'm worried that the students who are under this sort of stress might be taken off the team. But most of all, I can't bring myself to practice with the people who were probably the ones who did this to me! Every one of them is a suspect I can't trust! I'm so upset, I can't even sleep at night!
Medaka: Have no fear, 2nd Year, Ariake!
(Y/N): Do you have to say what year they're in?
Medaka: Tonight will be your last sleepless night, for I, Medaka Kurokami, will expose the perpetrator today!
A few minutes later...
(Y/N): Let me put it like this. The Sports Club are less wholesome than I thought. When we were campaigning, there were rumors made up about you and everything. But, do you think we can just figure it out from the start? Ther'es noting here to tell us who the culprit is. Given the fact that this all happened right after the announcement of the new team members, I suspect it to be a female, but how many people do you think that is?!
Medaka: Hmmm ... someone who's been in the club for a long time, a sprint specialist, and someone who cherishes the same brand of running shoes. They're left-handed, a reader of Fuguruma Newspaper who lives on Block 23. Who does that describe?
(Y/N): Uh ...
Medaka: These shoes were cut to pieces, and cutting them with scissors is not an easy thing to do. But if you look carefully, the cuts were made exactly along the seams. It's suspiciously precise. Without knowing just how such a shoe ages and frays through normal use, this would be impossible. The culprit would have to have been someone who owned the same type of shoes and used them over an extended period of time. Whilst cutting the hoes to ribbons as the culprit did. Not one mark was made on the brand logo. Odd though it might sound, it could be said that the culprit is someone who loves this particular brand of shoes. This cut also indicated that the culprit was using left-handed scissors.
(Y/N): And what about the fact that these letters were from the Fuguruma Newspaper? I get that you deduced that from the cuttings. But what can you really discern from just looking at these letters?
Medaka: Even though on the surface, they look like individual letters. There are parts of articles written on teh back. Once you shine a light on it, that is. Looking at the text on the back of these cuttings, these were not all taken from just one paper. Rather, they were taken at random from a week's worth of Fuyama Newspapers. The culprit did not buy the newspaper for the purpose of making this letter. Rather, it is reasonable to say they used only newspapers that were lying around their house.
(Y/N): And 23rd Block?
Medaka: It is often the case that newspapers undergo alterations depending on the time of day they are printed. The newspapers used for the cuttings were the 14th editions, which were delivered to Block 23.
(Y/N): Such deductive skills!
Medaka:I can't imagine that there will be many who fit all the criteria. Let's start searching and find the culprit! Actions which undo the hard work of others, crimes which hold back those trying their best! I can't stand it! (Y/N), I'm angry! In response to a suggestion box request, I'm putting the council into action!
Much, much later...
(Y/N): Hmmm ... is that one?
You asked for Shiranui's help because she always has intel on everyone.
Shiranui: That's Isahaya, 3rd year, Class 9. An athlete who specialises in sprint events. The same as Ariake. She's left-handed, and as you can see, she wears the same kind of shoes. Her family has had a subscription to Fuguruma Newspapers for 3 years, and now they live on the 23rd Block.
(Y/N): Shiranui, where do you get all your information from?
Shiranui: HAHAHAHAHA! If you intend to remain a character on the side of justice, I recommend you don't find that out! Also, Ishaya failed to become a regular on the team when Ariake was chosen.
(Y/N): I see. It must be embarassing for a third year to be replaced by a second year. It's almost certain she's got to be the culprit! Wow, that was easy.
???: However, (Y/N).
Medaka appeared behind you.
(Y/N): AGH!
Medaka: The fact of the matter is, we have no hard evidence. "Almost certain" isn't the same as certain. We must not treat her as a criminal based solely on circumstantial evidence.
(Y/N): It's all well and good being an idealist and all, but we have no means of getting any hard evidence. Do you just want to- Huh?
You noticed Medaka was gone.
Medaka: 3rd Year Isahaya, are you the culprit?
Medaka already went up to Isahaya.
(Y/N): OH COME ON!
Shiranui: HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Medaka: It's about these running shoes.
Isahaya: I ... I ... I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!
She sprinted off as if she were running in the Olympics!
(Y/N): Well, that was expected.
Isahaya: How the hell did she figure it out so fast?
Medaka came chasing after her!
Isahaya: WHAT?! NO WAY! BUT I CAN RUN 100 METERS IN 12 SECONDS FLAT!
Medaka: impressive. I can run 42.195KM in 2 hours flat. So that only works out at 17 seconds per 100 meters.
Isahaya: THIS GIRL IS MEDAKA KUROKAMI, THE NEW STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT! SHE GAVE THOSE KENDO CLUB DROPOUTS THE LIP, AND THEY CLEANED UP THEIR ACT! IF SHE FINDS OUT, I'LL BE KILLED!
Medaka did a flip jump over Isahaya, and-
(Y/N): MEDAKA! STOP IT! EVERYONE CAN SEE YOUR PANTIES!
Medaka: Seeing as it appears you didn't hear me the first time. 3rd YEAR ISAHAYA, ARE YOU THE CULPRIT?!
Isahaya: N-NO! IT WASN'T ME! I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! I DEFINITELY DIDN'T CUT UP ARIAKE'S SPIKES WITH SCISSORS! AND I DEFINITELY DIDN'T MAKE A LETTER TELLING HER TO QUIT THE CLUB! ARGH! WHAT THE HELL AM I SAYING?! I WASN'T EVEN ASKED!
Medaka just walked past her.
Medaka: If you say you don't know, that's fine. Sorry to have interrupted your training.
Isahaya: Huh? Wait!
Medaka: What is it?
Isahaya: I ... I-
Medaka: That was some very good sprinting, it shows that you train hard. Keep up the good work! I like people who always give it their best!
Isaaya: WHAT?! I don't get her! Doesn't she know to doubt people from time to time?
(Y/N): It's not that Medaka doesn't know how to doubt people. It's that she knows how to trust people.
Isahaya: And who are you?
(Y/N): Just her best friend. Even though Medaka may hate certain actions, she can never bring herself to hate someone else. Back in Junior High, my job was going around making sure that those bad guys got punished since she never got to them. But ... that would usually end with me getting beaten to a pulp. Now my job is managing her suggestion box. So, I'll follow her lead just this once. I'm going to believe you never try this again, okay?
The next day...
Ariake: (Y/N), can I have a moment of your time?
(Y/N): Oh, Ariake, what is it?
Ariake: The trainers I was using as a replacement for my Spikes were taken, and I foud these new Spikes and this letter!
She gave you the letter, and it said, "Sorry."
(Y/N): I guess that's a request fulfilled. Now to find some flowers.
But as for Medaka...
Medaka: DAMN THAT CRIMINAL! HOW COULD SHE STEAL HER TRAINERS?! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THEM FOR THIS!
(Y/N): Medaka, you're an idiot. Yet again-
You thought of all the stupid things Luffy had been doing.
(Y/N): Why do I seem to befriend stupid people so easily?
The next day...
Medaka's reputation was increasing, as the Suggestion Box, now known as the "Medaka Box" had been getting an increased reputation.
(Y/N): Three new requests today. And ... what's this?!
Medaka: What do we have today, (Y/N)?
Medaka took a sip of tea as you read each one to her.
(Y/N): The Basketball club wants a new club room, there's a request for a new lunch menu, and one to search for a lost puppy.
Medaka: Lost puppy?
(Y/N): This puppy and its owner got separated somewhere on teh school grounds at some point during Winter Break. It hasn't been seen since then, and the owner wants us to find it.
Medaka: I see. I'll handle the basketball club and menu requests. Then I'll leave the lost puppy to you.
(Y/N): Is it all right to do this alone?
Medaka: Come on (Y/N), you know I'm not good with animals.
She had a nervous face and a bit of a shy smile.
(Y/N): Yeah, that's true. Actually, how would Chopper react to her?
Later...
Shiranui: I'm surprised! TO think that the Princess actually has a weak spot!
(Y/N): Well, people say she's like some sort of super being, but she has had her problems in teh past. Back in the First Year of Elementary School, the class took turns to look after the class pet. When it was Medaka's turn, there was an incident, and you could say it was traumatic.
Shiranui: Then won't that throw doubts on her presidency?!
(Y/N): Think about it! If there are ever any problems, then I come in! Okay, Shiranui, if you know where the puppy is, lead the way!
Shiranui: Okay! Well, when I said I had an idea, I meant I heard someone saying something about a dog living on campus. It's right ... over there!
Shiranui: That's the dog right? It matches the drawing and everything.
(Y/N): I EXPECTED A CUTE LITTLE PUPPY! THAT IS SOMETHING IRRESPONSIBLE MILLIONAIRES BOUGHT AND RELEASED! SOME BEAST PROTECTED BY THE WASHINGTON PACT!
Shiranui: What are you ranting about? That's a Borzoi; it's a well-respected species. Also known as the Russian Wolf-Hound.
(Y/N): I KNEW IT! UGH! Shiranui, you've got to help me on this!
Shiranui: NO! NO NO NO! I'm not going to get mauled by that thing. You do it!
The dog growled and started to bark at you.
(Y/N): DOWN WOLF!
The dog kept its distance.
(Y/N): Yeah, it's definitely scared of me, but not that scared. Guess even some normal animals can withstand Conqueror's Haki.
Shiranui: I think he just wants to play.
(Y/N): No, that's the "If you dare interrupt me again, I'll rip your throat to pieces, human!"
Shiranui: So, you're going to give up? A shame that you can't handle something Medaka can't.
(Y/N): UGH!
Much later...
(Y/N): Medaka, I located the dog, but he's clearly not going to listen.
Medaka: I see. What can I say, other than seeing you get along with Shiranui is a little bit unsettling. In other words, over the half-year period of that puppy's disappearance, the dog grew up and stopped being a puppy? They do grow up fast.
(Y/N): Yeah, I guess. It's more like the dog turned into a wild beast. I met up with the owner, and she seemed like an easy-going girl. It was pretty damn hard to tell her the situation.
Medaka: Borzoi means "agile and alert" in Russian. They were used by people to hunt wolves. On the face of it, these dogs are more beastly than the game they hunt.
(Y/N): Yeah, I'm not giving up on this though! Medaka, just leave it to Shiranui and me!
Medaka: You ... and Shiranui?
(Y/N): Yeah, she pretty much knows everything about the school, so she's been a big help, even if she can be a pain in the ass.
Medaka: I don't think you really know this girl well. But she does have her uses.
(Y/N): Yeah, you just focus on what you need to do and I-
Medaka: Wait a second, (Y/N). I'll handle it.
(Y/N): But Medaka-
Medaka: Don't worry, I've already managed to clear the previous requests. I just can't bear the idea of you begging someone for help because of my shortcomings!
And so...
(Y/N): WHAT IS THAT?!
Medaka: Me, of course!
Medaka's head popped out of the suit's mouth.
Shiranui: Where did you even get that?
Medaka: From the Drama Club.
(Y/N): And why?
Medaka: The tactic is to get the target to view me as one of its own. When you deal with animals, it's important to be the one who makes the first move!
Shiranui: (L/N), is she-
(Y/N): You just noticed? Yes, she's so smart, she jumps right into being stupid.
Medaka looked at the dog.
Medaka: Aww, he's so cute!
(Y/N): Medaka, seriously, I can handle this with Shiranui, you just-
She put on a jealous face.
(Y/N): I ... Nevermind.
Medaka: You two shoudl just hang back and watch! I'll show you that I'm not a girl who will let herself be trapped by her past!
Shiranui: Oooh, she's jealous.
(Y/N): I just need you for info and ideas, that's all.
Shiranui: I guess this little princes sis more human than I thought. She can be stupid, jealous, and has problems with animals.
(Y/N): No, not that. Medaka adores animals.
Medaka: Come here, Boy! I'm going to give you a big hug! Come on! Let's play!
Medaka put on an adorable smile, but all the dog saw was-
And then it ran off in fear!
Shiranui: Uh ...
(Y/N): It's the animals that are scared of her. When she went to get the rabbit from its hutch back in Elementary, the rabbit refused to come out. When she gave food to the carp in the pond, all the fish dived down and refused to come back up. And at the class trip to the zoo, not one animal, not even the biggest, scariest of beasts, would show itself to her. Animals know nothing about one's personality. All they know is to cower in the presence of overwhelming power. It's because of Medaka's personality that she's the Student Council President.
And so...
(Y/N): Well, teh Borzoi has been returned to his owner. She said he seems far more tame than when he was a puppy.
Medaka: (Y/N), please stop. I couldn't even get that cute little doggy to like me. (crying) I FAIL AS A HUMAN!
(Y/N): (patting her on the head) No, you're human, alright. We're both monsters, but we're still human.
