Love Live!: SHATTER [PART 9]

OPEN OFFICE:

*STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICE - NIJIGASAKI HIGH SCHOOL - ODAIBA - TOKYO*

SHIORIKO: "Good afternoon, everyone. As President of the Nijigasaki High School Student Council, it is my honor to welcome you to the opening of our new office. This space represents more than just a renovation. It's a commitment to efficiency, unity, and the future of our school. For generations to come, this room will serve as a beacon of leadership and support for every student at Nijigasaki."

*APPLAUSE*

Shioriko's got this down to an art. Every word polished, every gesture deliberate. I still can't believe I'm standing here as her Vice-President. From producing idols to pushing papers... I've got my work cut out for me.

Still, this office, it's a fresh start. Lanzhu's old Clique left scars in this room, but maybe we can turn it into something better. A room that unites, rather than divides.

SHIORIKO: "With this, we officially dedicate this space to the students of Nijigasaki. Vice-President Suzuki, if you'd do the honors?"

AKI: "Me?"

SHIORIKO: "Yes."

I stepped forward, accepting the pair of ceremonial scissors from Uzuki. I gave the crowd a small smile before cutting the ribbon. Snip, snip.

*APPLAUSE*

AKI: "Thank you, President Mifune. It's a privilege to be part of this council and to see this vision come to life."

SATSUKI: "The office is open for tours after the ceremony. Feel free to stop by!"

UZUKI: "And don't miss the refreshments, courtesy of the Home Economics Club!"

The crowd murmured approvingly. Shioriko and the rest of us stepped back to wrap up the ceremony, but before we could speak, Iroha Kashimoto, a sharp-eyed first-year with a notepad in hand, pushes to the front. Her voice cuts through the chatter.
