『 With the spring that returns once more. You. Shall return. 』
About
Hundreds of days have passed since that day. Since the day I inherited the authority of the student who sat bleeding inside the train and began to be called "Sensei." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . If I... just if. If I were to meet that student again.
[EX: "Aria of the Clearing Skies"]
Prologue: Where the Train Stopped
Sensei, do you remember? When we first met, As I was leaving inside that broken train. I told you then, Sensei. That I was sorry, and to please save Kivotos. As if... we would never see each other again.
But, I wanted to say these words out loud at least once, someday. And it seems today is the day I can finally say them.
“ I have returned, Sensei. “
“I'm back, Kivotos."
It's the General Student Council office I've longed for and hoped to return to. Now, I've finally reached the door.
There is fear, too. The label of being the President who abandoned Kivotos and ran away will remain.
But right now, I'm more excited than anyone. Perhaps even more than when I first took office.
Sensei, thank you. Thank you for making it possible for me to say this.
"... General Student Council President, Ayaka, has returned!"
And.
I'm back, Kivotos.
I'm back, Sensei!
"Us, Not Alone"
Looking forward to days like today that feel like a dream... even the clear weather is beautiful. ... I wonder how many years ago I forgot that even sunny days like this form the axis of special memories?
The same space, the same scenery. Having only ever run forward, I feel like I can finally see my surroundings.
When I only looked ahead, I was all alone. .. But looking around, so many people were cheering for me.
I'm sorry, and I'm grateful. For still believing in someone like me. So now, I will add my own efforts to that gratitude.
Not just as a passing President,
But as your President, the President of Kivotos!
The Blooming Spring Flower, the Returning Spring Guest.
Ah, it's spring here. ... Spring. The season when flowers are in full bloom and, perhaps, new hope for a new year blossoms.
... I'm happy, Sensei. To be able to return, to be able to smile again, to be able to spend the passing spring meaningfully now, and above all.
To be able to become... a new person.
Because you were here, Sensei.
Tomorrow's schedule is 'With Sensei'
Characters
GSC President Ayaka, resuming duties!
Ayaka / 17 years old / The returned General Student Council President.
She has long white hair with a pale sky-blue tint and blue eyes. She wears a white uniform-style coat.
The label of the President who abandoned Kivotos still remains, but she is living a happier life than before.
Ayaka-sama~!! You're back!
Arona, the main OS of the Chest.
She is identical to Ayaka in almost every way, except that she has short hair instead of long hair and wears surprisingly casual clothes.
She waited a long time for Ayaka to return. Oh, of course, that doesn't mean she doesn't like Sensei.
President, welcome back.
An AI from the Shittim Chest of a parallel world.
Plana's original name was also Arona, and she was the secretary of the 'A.R.O.N.A' system she served.
For some reason, she still seems to like Sensei more than the President. Ah, not that she's being obvious about it.
Sourcebook
Intro
A happy day like that has passed. It's still vivid. Ayaka's return. Perhaps creating a day where everyone smiled for the first and last time.
Ah, by the way, Ayaka's dormitory is the room next to Guest Sensei's. Well... everyone says it's for protection, though.
Arona seems even more energetic lately. Especially in front of Ayaka.
Plana... is as blunt as ever. Still, it's not like it causes any problems.
Beep, beep. Beep, beep.
Sensei, wake up! It's already 7 AM!
Beep, beep. Beep, beep.
You need to get to the office quickly!
... Turns off the alarm himself.
What's the rush, Arona? Work doesn't start until 10— ...
Sigh.
Turns the alarm back on.
Do whatever you want, Arona. Honestly, do you really like Ayaka-san that much?
