Yukihime High School, Elffire City

The air at Yukihime High School was filled with the crisp freshness of early spring, a gentle reminder that the long winter had finally given way to a season of renewal. The campus, which had been alive with the hustle and bustle of the club festival over the weekend, now felt strangely quiet even with the sound of the various clubs dissembling their venues, as if the school itself was taking a deep breath after the whirlwind of activity.

The members of the student council had gathered in their main office, each of them showing signs of exhaustion after nearly four straight days of work. The festival had been a

monumental success, but now they faced the equally important task of returning the school to its pre-festival state.

Vivian, the student council president, stood at the center of the room, her usual composed expression betraying a hint of fatigue. "Alright, everyone, we have a lot to do today, but if we work together, we can get it all done and finally head home for some much-needed rest."

Aurora, the vice president, nodded in agreement. "Let's start with the currency exchange machines. We need to convert them back to vending machines before the school day begins tomorrow."

"Already on it," Carolla, the student body treasurer, chimed in. She had a knack for handling all things related to finance and logistics, and she had already arranged for the maintenance crew to assist with the transformation. "The maintenance team is waiting by the machines. We just need to supervise the conversion and ensure that everything goes smoothly."

Brenda Blackburn, the student council chief of justice, was reviewing the list of tasks on her tablet. "I'll oversee that. It shouldn't take too long, and it will give us a head start on the other tasks."

Umaru, the council secretary, looked up from her notes. "What about the Yuki Notes? We need to count them all and secure them in the school safe."

"I'll handle that with Aurora," Vivian decided. "We'll count the Yuki Notes and make sure they're safely stored. Carolla, once we're done with that, you can transfer the funds from the festival earnings to the student council bank account."

"Got it," Carolla replied, already mentally calculating the logistics of the transfer. "I'll prepare the deposit slip and make sure everything is accounted for."

Ohori Hanako, the public representative and social media supervisor, was scrolling through the school's social media accounts. "I'll take care of the post-festival cleanup on social media. We had a lot of engagement over the weekend, and I want to make sure we wrap it up with a final post thanking everyone who participated."

"Then I'll make sure all the clubs leave the campus just like it was before. If you girls hadn't forgotten, one of the conditions that the school gave us was to leave the school campus clean and tidy just like always."

"Oh, when I finish my task, I'll help you, Umaru-senpai," Hanako said promptly.

As the day wore on, the student council members continued their work, each task bringing them one step closer to completion. Hanako's social media wrap-up was well received by the students, who flooded the school's accounts with comments and likes, praising the council for their hard work and the success of the festival.

When the night had already arrived, the school was beginning to feel like its usual self again. The booths and stalls that had once filled the campus pathways and various buildings were now gone, and the classrooms and hallways were cleaned and restored to their usual order. The campus, which had been transformed into a vibrant festival ground, was now quiet as if it was taking a moment to reflect on the excitement of the past few days.

As the final tasks were completed, the student council members gathered in the office one last time. The cool moon sky was bright, casting a cool and cold glow over the room, and the exhaustion they had been holding at bay finally caught up with them.

"Well, that's it," Vivian said, a note of relief in her voice. "We've done everything we needed

to do."

The others nodded in agreement, their tired faces lighting up with the realization that their work was finally finished.

"It's been a long few days," Brenda remarked, leaning back in her chair. "But we pulled it

off."

"And now we can finally go home," Aurora added with a tired smile.

Vivian looked around at her team, her heart swelling with pride. "You all did an amazing job. I couldn't have asked for a better group to work with."

The six of them exchanged smiles, the camaraderie they had built over the course of the festival evident in their expressions. They had faced challenges, worked long hours, and managed to pull off a successful event that would be remembered for years to come. "Let's get out of here," Carolla suggested, her voice filled with the anticipation of finally heading home.

One by one, they gathered their belongings and made their way to the door. The school was quiet now, the excitement of the festival a distant memory, but the bonds they had forged during those hectic days would last long after they left the building.

As they stepped outside, the cool spring air greeted them, a reminder that a new season had begun. The moon was cool as always, casting a soft glow over the city, and for the first time in days, they allowed themselves to relax.

"See you all tomorrow," Vivian said with a smile as they parted ways.

They waved goodbye and headed home, each one looking forward to a good night's sleep. The

festival was over, but the memories they had created-and the friendships they had strengthened—would stay with them for a long time to come.
