The Costume Nurse
Yachiyo:
Thanks for your patience, everyone ♪
Michiru:
Oooh, are the doctor and nurse costumes done?
Yachiyo:
Yes, it took another late night to finish, but they came out looking great. Let's try them on!
Michiru:
Then we should do get Mei Fan.
Yachiyo:
Oh, don't worry about that. Her fitting's already done.
Michiru:
It is? That was fast.
Yachiyo:
She was with me all night. Something about wanting to offer me moral support, she said.
Yachiyo:
"I'll keep the sandman at bay while you work!" I believe were her words.
Michiru:
Ahaha! So she bravely defended you from your own bed?
Yachiyo:
Yeah, up to the point where she started nodding off herself.
Yachiyo:
She was so out of it when she tried on the nurse uniform, she put the silly thing on backwards.
Michiru:
Whaaat? I wish I could've been there for that!
Yachiyo:
Oh, believe me, I took photos. Want to see them later?
Michiru:
I do ♪
Akira:
Ridiculous...
Michiru:
Still, you're amazing, Yachiyo. Three full costumes in one night?
Yachiyo:
I wasn't starting from scratch this time. I took some existing costumes and made alterations.
Yachiyo:
Oh, and I shouldn't undersell Mei Fan as just the cheer squad. She helped pull together all the accessories.
Michiru:
Right, she's always got little mascot characters with her. That's right in her wheelhouse ♪
Akira:
We're wasting time. Let's begin the fitting.
Yachiyo:
Okay, leave it to me.
Akira:
Hmm...
Michiru:
Nice. That looks great on you, Akira.
Akira:
Obviously.
Yachiyo:
The shoulders are hitting at the right place. Past that...
Yachiyo:
Oh, apologies. There's a frayed seam here. I'll just repair that now.
Michiru:
Huh, you're right. That's rare for you, Yachiyo.
Yachiyo:
The original costume I started with was on the older side. This is a quick fix, though.
Yachiyo:
Aaand...there!
Yachiyo:
You're all better and ready to be discharged, little coat!
Michiru:
Ahaha, you're a nurse for clothes.
Yachiyo:
Exactly. I think I'd be good at the job.
Akira:
.....
Yachiyo:
But my real calling will always be the stage. I AM Frau Perle, after all.
Akira:
As long as you understand that. ...Let's continue the fitting.
Yachiyo:
Okaaay ♪ Let's move on.
A Creeping Malady, or Perhaps...
Yachiyo:
Hey, gals!
Yachiyo:
Huh? Nobody's here? Just me, all by my lonesome?
Yachiyo:
...Excellent.
Yachiyo:
Akira-senpai and Michiru-senpai are out on errands. Mei Fan and Shiori went shopping. Which means...
Yachiyo:
I may as well get back to writing that report.
Yachiyo:
Let's see, where'd I leave off...?
Yachiyo:
Solidarity among the Edels is good, with potential for further improvement... Right, this is where I was.
Yachiyo:
Hmm...
Yachiyo:
The cause of Shiori Yumeoji's cold was exhaustion from a harsh practice schedule.
Yachiyo:
However, Akira Yukishiro and Michiru Otori's leadership is not at fault. The blame lay with the patient's own overexertion and lax self-care.
Yachiyo:
As a result, the issue was swiftly treated, and she is now fully recovered. Shiori Yumeoji returned to student council work after less than a week's absence.
Yachiyo:
Primary credit in this matter goes to Music Acting Department first-year, Frau Rubin Liu Mei Fan.
Yachiyo:
Perhaps reminded of her younger sister, she showed the most concern for the patient and administered rather extreme...
Yachiyo:
Ahem. Administered THOROUGH care for Shiori Yumeoji.
Yachiyo:
She rejected Akira Yukishiro's diagnosis that no concern was needed and insisted on treating Shiori. Certainly, none can question her sincerity.
Yachiyo:
In contrast, Akira Yukishiro and Michiru Otori clearly took pains to suppress any emotional response, as reported previously.
Yachiyo:
Yet they made no effort to hide their concern for their fellow Edel when checking in on her or preparing meals.
Yachiyo:
Finally, Yachiyo Tsuruhime...
Yachiyo:
Eh, we can leave that bit out.
Yachiyo:
--This concludes my report on the state of the student council as seen during Shiori Yumeoji's illness and recovery.
Yachiyo:
And now the boilerplate conclusion... I will continue my observations, and I remain committed to upholding the fine traditions of Siegfeld Institute of Music.
Yachiyo:
Whew! Okay, I can do a final proofread back in my room.
Yachiyo:
.....
Yachiyo:
--Seeing this a ripe opportunity to improve the Edels' bond, Yachiyo Tsuruhime chose a restrained approach and watched from the sidelines.
Yachiyo:
Though it was only a common cold, temporarily losing a member to illness did alter the Edels' dynamic.
Yachiyo:
And as for Yachiyo Tsuruhime's conclusions...
Yachiyo:
In all honesty, the days with Shiori Yumeoji-- that is to say, with an incomplete student council roster--felt rather dull.
Yachiyo:
I'm told reports are to be kept free of conjecture and personal sentiment...but I have my doubts.
Yachiyo:
Heh, yeah right. Aaand, delete...
Yachiyo:
...Hmmm.
Yachiyo:
......
Yachiyo:
Another day, another thing I can't write in my report.
Yachiyo:
Ah, well. It's not like I'm just being lazy. If anything, I'm caring a lot more.
Yachiyo:
So I guess I may as well finish up my student council work now too. Gosh, I'm so diligent ♪
Yachiyo:
Hmm... You're the image of health. You don't need a doctor or nurse.
Yachiyo:
You think I'd be able to hide it well if I caught a cold? Heh heh, you might be right... Just kidding.
Yachiyo:
Akira-senpai would get mad if I did that. Even more than that, I'd hate to infect any of my classmates.
Yachiyo:
Oh, but I'd love to know if I have the acting ability to deceive others even when I'm not feeling well.
