Valentine Snow Fight Prologue (Abridged)

Gorozaemon: Sooo, you the guy who said he wanted to transfer over to the Missionaries and Daikanyama?
Stomping noises

Girimekhala: Y--(bam)
Li Chou: OH MY GOD HE JUST SLIPPED
Girimekhala: Ow, I tripped again. Let me try that again, ahem.
Girimekhala: Yeah, that's me. I need to find my own way of life, so I wanna go somewhere else and look at other places!
Gorozaemon: Wow. And you'll go as far as giving up your current place in things?
Girimekhala: ...yeah, it's why I came to Tokyo.
Gorozaemon: Haha, okay. It's a rough road you're taking, yet you're still trying for it! Sounds great! Love and service mentality don't mean that much to me, but you might find that over there. Show them the old Umamichi spirit!
Girimekhala: R-right! Thanks Prez!
Gorozaemon: Cool! Now go ask the paper pushing teachers to get that sorted out.
Li Chou: wait WHAT you're the student council president, do it yourself!
Gorozaemon: Eh, let the specialists do their thing. kthanksbye
Li Chou: uhhhh
Girimekhala: Okay, I'm going now. Thanks for everyth--(trips)
Li Chou: HE TRIPPED AGAIN! Is this gonna be okay...?

Guy A: Thanks for always! Here's chocolate!
Wolf B: Thanks. Here's some for you too.
Mermaid X: Happy Valentine's...here...
Girl Y: Wow, that's the same kind of chocolate I got for you! Thanks!
Guy C: These are fruit tarts or something with fruits from my homeworld. You guys can share.
Girl D: I got this new product from the convenience store corner. Wanna try them out?
Merman E: This is the chocolate I couldn't give this year...you can have this too if you want.
Behemoth: Wow these are all great! Thanks dudes, here's chocolates I made too!
C, D, E: HOLY CRAP IT'S HUGE
Ziz: Oh my, everyone's having fun. I'm so glad.
Girl D: Ms. Ziz! Have some chocolate!
Ziz: Thank you, I'll have it later. Actually, why don't I put some tea on now?

Touji: Everyone is getting carried away, not that I have anything against celebrations as a Shinto priest...
Moritaka: It's fine, isn't it? The school year needs breaks.
Touji: Maybe, but maybe these love affairs are too open...
Kengo: Details! I'm just glad I can eat chocolate without worrying about people questioning it because I'm still on my toxic masculinity BS!
Moritaka: I bought a lot of Seven Fortunes Daifuku, so let's share them.
Touji: You two are terrible. Huh, this daifuku is nice...
MC: Touji, aren't you going to open up? / Feed me, Moritaka! / oh my god Kengo all those chocolates in your bag
(A) Touji: WHAT? A-a-are you talking about passionate secrets...? No, I would never hide anything from...what are you making me say!?
(B) Moritaka: Okay! Open wide! ...wait, what are you making me do!?
(C) Kengo: Yep! Bought them with all the money I made in Ikebukuro! Here, you can have one...wait this one looks good actually, lemme have a bite.

Ryouta: YOU GUYS I DID IT
Shirou: Ryouta I know you're happy, but you can't run in the hallways!
Ryouta: Hehe, I know Class Rep, but I wanted to show everyone.
Moritaka: W-what's going on!? Do you want some tea?
Ryouta: Thanks! ...ohh, Seven Fortunes Daifuku! And Ikebukuro special chocolates!
Kengo: Focus, dammit! I'll give you one later, so let go!
MC: Sooo, what's up? / (quietly prompt Ryouta to talk)
Ryouta: Hee hee...look, I made chocolate!
Moritaka, Touji, and Kengo: (GASPS)
Shirou: Yeah I know how you feel. It's okay though.
Ryouta: I know it's not as good as Class Rep's.
Shirou: No need to be modest. I know they're good.
Moritaka: I-is that so?
Kengo: O-oh. Well it LOOKS like a decent chocolate...
Touji: Y-yes...
MC: Here goes. I'm ready to die... (gulps the chocolate)

The rest of the gang tries the chocolate.
Kengo: ...w-whoa, it's edible! Actually, it's pretty damn good!
Touji: How surprising. Such diligence, Ryouta.
Moritaka: You've worked hard! Thank you!
MC: Wow... / Great work, Ryouta! / Shirou, did you help too?
---
(B) Ryouta: I know, I'm surprised too! Thanks for helping me so much, Class Rep!
(C) Shirou: War flashbacks...
---
Shirou: Haha, I was close to giving up so many times, but this success came from Ryouta never giving up.
Ryouta: You think? ...if you say so, then I'm glad I stuck with it! I got more guys! And now I'm hungry now that I'm relieved!
Shirou: I've baked some new things too. I'll hand them out in the safehouse later.
MC: Thanks for the chocolates! / Ryouta, say 'ahh'! / Great work, Shirou!
(B) Ryouta: Ahh! Mmm, this is good too! Funny how great they are when I'm with you, MC!
(C) Shirou: Thanks MC. Like I said, Ryouta never gave up. But since you're happy with it, I'm glad I stayed on with him...a-also I made a special one for you. Have some later.

Chouji: Hi guys, I see you got it to them. Nice work you two.
Ryouta: Chouji! Thanks for helping me make them too!
Shirou: Yes, especially since you're busy this time of year. Truly, thank you.
Chouji: I wanted to throw in the towel a bunch of times myself. I'm so glad it worked out...and since everyone's enjoyed it, I'm glad I helped. Oh right, there's something I want to give to you all! There's an event giving out sweets I've made. Check it out if you have time.
Ryouta: Really? Yay! Let's see...Valentine Snow Festival?
Chouji: Yeah, a winter resort opened up recently and they're doing an event from Valentine's to White Day. I'll be making sweets for the resort hotel during that time.
MC: ...a winter resort? So, a place like THAT thing we can't say? Sounds fun!

Ryouta: Oh wow, they made a resort on the mou--up there!
Shirou: R-right! They've got skiing, snowboarding, snowdrifting...so many options.
Moritaka: A-and sleighs too? Not that I want to pull one.
Touji: And they have hot springs too...haven't I seen this place before? Isn't that M--
Kengo: SHUT UP hey hot springs are great!
Chouji: Yeah, Andvari's the owner. The resort is over at Mount Hakone--
Shirou, Ryouta, and Kengo: oh no
MC: All hands brace for impact! ...wait, why hasn't it happened yet?
Kengo: H-hang on, he could come in through the window!
Shirou: No, he'd still be in here by now if he did. Maybe...
Touji: He...didn't hear? A man can dream.
Moritaka: These things just happen...?
Chernobog: WANDERVOGEL
Ryouta: AAAAAA, IT'S HIM! ...no wait, no it's not. Chernobog?
Chernobog: Indeed, though I am late. I still have a long way to go to match the club president.
MC: Wandervogel! / You could, you know, not.
(A) Chernobog: Yes, you live a good mountain life, my brave! ...no, my comrade!
(B) Chernobog: Hehe, you believe so? I am happy to have a goal as a respectable overlord.

Shirou: So Chernobog, why are you dressed like that?
Chernobog: Oh yes, our club is going on a trek tomorrow and I am checking our equipment. There are still unseen mountains to visit around Bald Mountain...or Mount Hakone as it is now.
Yeah that Singularity overworld shift is still up there.

Chernobog: Companionship! Accomplishments! Would you all like to literally join the club?
Shirou: N-no thank you. Haha, wow you've really grown into the mountain hiking club.
MC: Speaking of, where's Zaoh?
Chernobog: Oh yes, that. He's caught up in something, I believe he should be done soon...
Zaoh: need...mountain...fix...
Shirou: Oh my god what!?
Touji: H-he's fading away! What happened!?
Jinn: THERE YOU ARE, ZAOH
Triton: Stop running away! Mr. Mononobe is so mad!
MC: Oh. Karma.

Chernobog: Yes, we went on hiking trips in the autumn, at Christmas, on New Year's...I took classes in between, but the President...did not.
Triton: I can't think of any more ways to shoehorn the word "mountains" into the tests...
Jinn: Yeah that's a bit much for two weeks of make up classes...he just needs to finish one more subject.
Zaoh: the mountains they are so beautiful...
Chernobog: Control yourself, President! Today is the summit you must surpass, then you may see the snowy peaks!
Zaoh: Summit...? Wait what, what am I doing here?
MC: Wandervogel! / Snap out of it, Senpai! You going to the mountains or not!?
---
(A) Zaoh: Wandervogel! Excellent greeting, Kouhai!
---
Zaoh: Thank you, my underclassmen. I see your love for the mountains! I will finish these steep classes and climb a new mountain! It will be so wonderful!
Triton: NOW, GET HIM TO MR. MONONOBE JINN
Jinn: Gottem! There's no mountain you can't climb!
MC: Welp let's pretend nothing just happened

Triton: ...okay, they're off okay. Just one subject left to do, so Mr. Mononobe can relax about this now.
Triton's Missing Dialogue Tag: He's working so hard in the make up classes hoping that everyone graduates! I'm so touched!
Chernobog: Thank you, Mr. Triton. We should be able to go on our club trip together now.
Triton: Haha, this is nothing if it's for my beloved students! Oh speaking of which, I need to talk to you MC.
MC: Me? / NO I DON'T WANT EXTRA CLASSES
---
(B) Triton: It's not that...wait, go to class if you're worried about that! Ugh. Oh wait, I'm getting sidetracked.
---
Triton: Some chocolates came in the mail for you at the dorm. I know it's that time of the year, but it is a LOT. You got a parade of dancers and elephants bringing a ton chocolate and what looks like...a 1/1 scale model chocolate of someone who says he's your older brother? A-anyways, what didn't fit in your room has been put in the dining area.
MC: I'm sorry / That was some rich and fabulous dude, no bigs / I'm gonna take a blackjack to my brother
(A) Triton: It's okay. It's great you have such a vast social network!
(B) Triton: What planet do the rich and fabulous live on!?
(C) Triton: You can't just drop that so casually! ...just, be gentle.

Triton: Oh wait, I gotta go. Can't have Jinn getting alone time with Mr. Mononobe! Don't go overboard and make your homeroom teacher worry, okay?
Kengo: Hey Partner, I can help you eat your chocolates!
Shirou: Eating even half of all that would be bad for you, MC. This is clearly just my concerns about your health as your advisor.
Chouji: Ahaha...well if you ever get sick of chocolate, I can give tips on spicing it up. The Missionaries are going to be handing out chocolates to Strays too. Oh right, that reminds me of something from earlier. The Missionaries will be going to the Valentine Snow Fight this weekend. I'm too busy to go...but if you go, the others would be happy.

Kengo: Oh. Moritaka and I already have plans.
Moritaka: Mountain training. Thank you for the invitation though.
Touji: I have drills with the police school. They'll also be at Mt. Hakone so I might happen to run into people there...
Shirou: I'm networking with other guild-sponsored events, but I'll see if I can fit a day in somewhere.
Ryouta: I'm going on a new sweets tour with friends, but I'll add the place to the list!
MC: Hmm...I might as well go.
Chouji: Thanks, I'll let them know!
Chernobog: Chouji, is this event at Andvari's snow resort?
Chouji: Yes. Oh right, you helped a lot too.
Chernobog: Indeed, I wished to help my friend however I could...also, my brave? If you are going to join the Valentine Snow Fight, could you help my friend!?
MC: wait what
