"That was precisely why it was even more frustrating..." Kotaro Katsura gazed into the distance. He believed it.
Elisaki: "..." Huh!? T-the truth? That demon's ideal was really to loaf around and wait for death for the rest of his life?
Just as she began questioning her life, Sogo Doma glanced at Katsura Kotaro and said, "Are you planning to dream of becoming prime minister like him?"
"That would indeed make for an unimaginably formidable opponent..." Kotaro Katsura said solemnly.
"I was just saying. Katsura, is that really your dream?"
"Ah~!" Kotaro Katsura nodded. "This is the strength I gained from Elisaki and the others..." Saki Yoshida: "..." When it was clearly she who had gained courage and strength from Mr. Katsura!
"Whether it was Elisaki or Muse, watching them move toward their dreams helped me recover the things I had forgotten, the things I had lost—dreams, conviction, the strength to move forward..." Sogo Doma: "..."
"Wasn't it because of that Chairman Minami or whatever?" he interrupted hesitantly.
"Huh?" Kotaro Katsura said instinctively. "That was part of the reason too..."
"I knew it..." Sogo Doma wanted to roll his eyes.
"Wait..." Kotaro Katsura came to his senses as well. "It's not what you think. Chairman Minami really is a good woman..."
"Uh, I understand..." Sogo Doma said he understood. After all, beauty was in the eye of the beholder. Though they were hardly lovers, and she had even listed Katsura Kotaro as a dangerous person, there was no accounting for someone's married-woman fetish.
"Sogo, Chairman Minami is a woman worthy of respect. Not only did she hold up the school all by herself, she also raised such an outstanding daughter. Whether it was her family or the school, she did her very best. Don't you think she's had it hard?"
