[player] I'm sorry, Mr. Makiki. I agree with Ichihime, so I'm going to vote for Riu.
[Ichihime] Riu has won two rounds now, nyaa.
[Wanjirou] It's best out of three, so Miss Kujou is the winner, woof.
[Mr. Makiki] Sigh, okay then. I guess I really don't understand the preferences of you young people. You win, Kujou.
[Riu Kujou] ...
[-] Unexpectedly, Riu Kujou doesn't look very happy after winning.
[Riu Kujou] Although I won based on the number of votes I got, I didn't realize that there's still so much to learn about the art of making tea. Mr. Makiki, I've still got a lot to learn.
[Mr. Makiki] Haha, since you have this awareness, it means that I haven't come here in vain today. Well, I'm a man of my word, so I won't try to persuade you to go to college again since I lost.
[Mr. Makiki] But no matter what you do, I hope you can look further ahead and keep learning to keep improving.
[-] Riu Kujou considers his words and nods seriously.
[Riu Kujou] Thank you, I'll do that.
[-] Mr. Makiki says he has other matters to attend to and needs to leave, so Riu Kujou and I accompany him all the way until we are outside the shrine.
[-] On our way back inside after a brief goodbye, Riu Kujou makes a worried expression. She stops and looks back at Mr. Makiki's seemingly lonely back behind us.
[Riu Kujou] PLAYER, do you think I've made Mr. Makiki sad?
[-] At this moment, we hear Mr. Makiki stop and make a phone call.
[Mr. Makiki] Hello, it's me, Mr. Makiki... Hello? ...What!? Skipping classes and failing tests, and now you're hanging up on me! I'm going to teach you a good lesson!
[-] Mr. Makiki, who seemed a little sad before, hangs up the phone and suddenly seems to be motivated again. He angrily scans a QR code to hire a rental bicycle and rushes off.
[-] I pat Riu Kujou's shoulder.
[player] What can I say? It looks like you're not the worst student out there.
[-] I thought that Riu Kujou would punch me after I said this, but to my surprise, she pushes my hand away and continues walking inside.
[Riu Kujou] Of course not. Although he doesn't understand my decision right now, I'm confident that I'll become a student he'll be proud of from the bottom of his heart in the future. Come on, cleaning the Mahjong Soul Shrine is just the beginning! Let's clean the outdoor areas in the afternoon!
[player] What? More cleaning? Aren't you tired?
[Riu Kujou] Haha, you're underestimating me. Follow me now!
[player] Wait up...
[-] On this day, under the leadership of the amazing Riu Kujou, the Mahjong Soul Shrine became incredibly clean and tidy thanks to our efforts. But at the same time, my arms got so sore that I couldn't play mahjong for an entire week... How terrible!
