The wind direction has shifted. It's blowing pretty hard today. Still a bit early for the first spring storm though. Well it blew away all the gloomy clouds so not bad at all. What a good day. Maybe because of this weather the mood on campus feels a lot lighter too.

The 'Holy Sword'. Thanks to Fushimi stepping in for Himemiya, we the opposition has taken a new direction. We're still holding protests, collecting signatures and doing guerrilla lives but now the goal isn't to completely shut down the concept of ES Academy it's to cut out the parts we don't like with the 'Holy Sword'.

With the 'Holy Sword' we can actually change the ES Academy from the inside. But to do that we need the money ES demands, L$. We gather L$ from everyone through donations and live ticket sales then present it to ES as representatives of people's voices.

As long as the price is settled we can make real changes to the concept of ES Academy. Himemiya has even used his family's resources and the wealth of the ES Big Three to secure the student council and clubs. With that he's officially set to become the next Student Council President this spring.

Haha. To think he needed to be protected and saved by me. How arrogant I was. He's the one who can save himself. No actually everyone who loves him made sure he shouldn't stay down for long. He has this charm. No this centripetal force that pulls people towards him. As expected of the successor of Isara.

He's someone who is loved. And because he is loved he can be strong. I respect you and I want to learn from you Himemiya. Hokuto thought. "What're you doing here Hokke?" Subaru suddenly asked.

 "What're you doing here Hokke?" Subaru suddenly asked

"Woah?! You..! Akehoshi! Don't sneak up on me like that! AHH the pigeons got scared and flew away! Catch them quickly! It's all your fault so hurry up and help Akehoshi!" Hokuto said. "Eh? Huh? Why are there pigeons here?" Subaru asked.

"They belong to the Theatre Club. They need to be let out to play now and then or they'll get sick. They're Hibiki-senpai's so it's obvious they love freedom like their owner. Normally Tomoya takes care of them since he's liked by birds and animals but I thought I might not get the chance anymore." Hokuto said.

"I decided to take them out myself today. I don't know why but they always seem to mock me a little and it's annoying. But these rebellious ones are somehow cute too. Hmph." He then said with a smile.

"Hmm...here we...go~! There! I've caught all the pigeons! Should I put them back in this cage?" Subaru asked. "That's impressive Akehoshi. You caught them all already?" Hokuto asked. "Having pets helps you get the hang of it. Though dogs and pigeons are pretty different." Subaru said.

"And anyway I wanted to finish this quickly so I could talk to you Hokke." He then said. "...What do you want to talk to me about?" Hokuto asked. "I'm no longer part of the opposition faction against the concept of ES Academy. The opposition is gone. Or rather we've shifted to negotiating with ES using the 'Holy Sword'." He then said.

"We've accepted the concept of ES Academy in exchange. So naturally I have no more complaints. Himemiya seemed satisfied too. At least we can pursue a future we want instead of having everything dictated from above. That's good enough. In fact that's what we should have done from the start. That's democracy after all." He added.
