Chapter 83 - New Student Council

"So... The time now, are they still in school?" Mayoi looked at her watch.

"They are waiting in the student council room." Keita said.

"I see. Could you invite them to the rooftop?" Mayoi requested.

"I see, I'll do so right away." Keita obliged.

"Heh, I can't wait to teach you the ways of running the student council." Mayoi cheekily smiles as she heads to the rooftop.

...

"Yukimura-san! Why are you going to the rooftop? It's dangerous you know?" Shinosuke opened the door hastily.

"Oh, there you are, Shimamura-kun." Mayoi acted quite differently as she used to, which gave Shinosuke a weird feeling.

"Why... You're her? But how?" Shinosuke got confused.

"Fufu... A bit confused? Well, I confessed to you right here." Mayoi said.

"Huh?! What... Wait, that happened...? But I can't deny it..." Shinosuke became more confused.

"..." Chisato appeared behind the door, without saying anything.

"I believe this is what you wanted to see. You're right here, am I correct?" Mayoi turned around and said. There appears to be no one, but a figure slowly reveals itself.

"It is rude to address to a supreme being such as I without any honorifics. You better entertain me!" Kiri-no-kimi appeared.

"Huh? What was that?!" Shinosuke jumped.

"Kiri-no-kimi, the legend god who was said to brought demons to their doom by misleading their paths." Chisato explained.

"Oh ho... You knew! But it was bit exaggerating to put it that way! Ahahaha!" Kiri-no-kimi laughs.

"... So you can call forth gods, what are you planning?" Shinosuke asked.

"Please return their memories." Mayoi knelt down and begged.

"Huh?! Yukimura-san!" Both Shinosuke and Chisato are shocked.

"You can return me to how I was back then, I don't care anymore. I just want them to remember me." Mayoi cried out as she said her words.

"... You were a figure I admired long time ago. Your soul never left, but fragments of it did. I worked hard to gather them little by little, and then i accidentally released it." Kiri-no-kimi expressed.

"Now you developed your own persona, and became human. I was terrified you won't be the same anymore if you were to return to me, so I isolated you from others." Kiri-no-kimi said.

"That is so selfish! She is not owned by you at all!" Shinosuke shouted.

"... Now you had became someone else's I couldn't bear the sight of being interfered anymore. It is my loss." Kiri-no-kimi slowly vanished.

"Hey! Wait! You haven't answer her wishes yet!" Shinosuke shouted.

"... You will eventually remember, as the fog in your mind slowly fades." A voice reached to them said.

"What does that even mean..." Shinosuke said.

"Mayoi-chan, are you alright?" Chisato walks over to Mayoi, but Mayoi continued to bow respectfully. It really seems like she is very grateful or something.

"Let's head back." Mayoi stood up.

"Huh? Okay..." Shinosuke locks up the door with his mind filled with doubts.

...

"It is my loss this time." Kiri-no-kimi said.

"It is not good on my side to keep giving you the challenges." Junichirou sits down next to Kiri-no-kimi, with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Yeah... Now she won't ever return at all..." Kiri-no-kimi looks up to the moon, which was said to became stagnant since the war of the gods in ancient times.

"Now that even Tenrou is not here anymore, this old soul's wrath have nowhere to go." Kiri-no-kimi said.

"That event drove you to destroy a lot of demons, it was kind of impressive not gonna lie." Junichirou commented.

"Hmmph! That was a small feat, no more, no less." Kiri-no-kimi responded.

"Tsuki-no-hime... The martyr goddess who believed in Tenrou to the end... It was a stunt, but it worked out in the higher being's plan huh." Junichirou contemplates.

"I hate to admit it. It turned out that you were the one to end it all." Kiri-no-kimi said.

"Heh, he disappeared when everything is over... I kind of understand how you feel about her, but if she has a chance to start over, maybe you should just let her go." Junichirou said.

"You're right. Call for me if you need my assistance. I'll be your force to keep this land balanced and peaceful." Kiri-no-kimi disappeared after he finished his words.

"Glad to work together with you." Junichirou takes out his cigarette and extinguished it.

...

A whole week passed after the incident, as expected, the student council's memories returned to normal.

"Waaah! I missed you so much, Mayoi!" Shinosuke hugged Mayoi tight.

"Urghhh... Help! Chisato-chan! Arghhh!" Mayoi called for help.

"Teehee, it was your fault to begin with, you will need to satisfy him for now." Chisato smiles as things returned to normal for them.

"Won't you get jealous?!" Mayoi attempted to provoke Chisato.

"I won't, he promised he will love both of us equally." Chisato said.

"No, why, that is a way too naive way of thinking!" Mayoi said.

"Sigh... The sad part of this situation is that we'll have to leave this room filled with memories." Chisato looked around the room.

"... True. It should be about time they join us." Shinosuke settled down.

"Huff huff hah... Should I open the door for them?" Mayoi is exhausted.

"No, you're the official president. Leave the secretary roles to me." Chisato sits Mayoi down on the couch and opens the door.

"Welcome to the student council, new members of the student council." The three of them greeted.
