Love Lab (恋愛ラボ)

A member who doesn't do anything.

She really pisses me off.

I only became the president's aide because I wouldn't have to do any work.

It's not like I wanted to...

Hey, Maki.

Riko.

With Mizushima-senpai after us, we can't let our guard down.

Your intelligence is down, though.

Riko, did Mizushima-senpai say something to you yesterday?

She didn't say anything.

Huh? Her eyes are red.

Was she working late again last night?

A vice president who does everything.

Oh, shut up already!

N-No, not you!

Sorry.

I'm taking today off from student council.

What? Why?

It's no big deal.

Besides, we can't practice romance until Mizushima-senpai gives up,

so there's no reason for me to be there.

Riko.

Hey...

Wait!

Let go of me!

Ah, Senpa—

Sayo and Eno Declare War

What's wrong with you?

I...

I want to do it, too!

We were doing it every day, so now I'm lonely.

It's making me so frustrated.

C-Calm down!

Calm down and state the subject!

That's why I'm going to do it here!

Y-You've got the wrong idea!

She's talking about marathons!

Why did you have to go and declare war without consulting me first?

I got caught up in the talk about Baron Hug-Hug.

What kind of reason is that? And who's he?

But they realized I'd been the one harassing them.

What? Really?

So my name must have come up too, then...

No, not at all.

It couldn't have been "not at all!"

Okay, no one touched on the subject.

That's even worse!

You weren't even considered?

Enough!

Damn that Maki.

Just how long does she have to ignore me?

Why are we doing this?

That's what I'd like to know.

I'll make sure she can't ignore me.

Where were you keeping that?

Maki Natsuo!

Your dad is lingerie!

What just happened?

Bringing my parents into this is absurd!

Sorry, but could you tell me more about your dad?

The back lighting makes it hard to see her face.

Who are you, you coward?!

You still don't know?

Just how far beneath your notice am I?

Even his daughter is lingerie!

Seriously, why are you doing that?

It's working.

Sayo, you say something, too.

Okay, then...

Your older brother's a sponge!

I don't have an older brother.

I have a younger brother.

My older brother works.

You're wrong!

My brother's searching for himself right now!

I just blurted out something random. I didn't mean your family.

Really?

Good, then.

Let's go!

Where?

What did she mean by "lingerie"?

N-No comment...

Is your dad retro sexy?

Lingerie has an adult sound to it, don't you think?

I can't hear you!

We'll investigate the student council room while they're out there.

You know, I think what he should be looking for is a job, not himself.

You were talking about my family!

Just speaking in general.

I'm not talking about your family.

Faculty Office

The key to the student council room?

But, Maki-san insisted that I not give it to anyone who isn't a current member.

Sensei, you don't recognize me as the student council president,

much less a member?

Y-You can have it.

Just don't cry.

Well? That was some impressive acting, wasn't it?

Yeah, it was amazing.

So stop crying already.

Wh-What is that?

Baron Hug-Hug.

Please knock!!

I think Maki kept the important documents in this cabinet.

Huh?

What is this file?

There's nothing written on—

Love Lab Results

"Love Lab Results"?

The Next Day

Heading to the student council?

Yeah, I guess.

It's such a pain.

You say that, but I know you enjoy it.

Huh?

You used to look so bored all the time,

but you haven't looked like that since you became a member.

I had no idea you liked work so much.

Work, huh?

She's right. I'm not bored anymore.

She forced me to become her aide,

but if I really don't like it, I don't have to go.

Maki.

M-Maki!

President Maki!

She's overworked and hasn't slept enough.

The student council at this school is quite busy.

She's the type to feel obligated to handle everything herself,

so try to keep an eye on her.

You're her aide, aren't you?

I knew.

I knew Maki had been pushing herself too hard lately.

I knew, but I didn't do anything about it.

Kurahashi-senpai?

I finally found some solid evidence.

They've been practicing techniques to catch boys' attention

and have wonderful encounters.

You must have read this pretty thoroughly.

Showing Her Nape

Handkerchief Sticking Out

Toast Ready in Bag

I-In any case,

I'll mix this into the materials for tomorrow's meeting,

and appear during the uproar after they read it.

Maki won't be able to ignore me after—

Hey, listen.

Isn't it a good thing that they don't think you're involved in the harassment?

It means they don't think you would do anything that low, right?

Though, I do get the feeling they just forgot about you,

but try to be positive about this.

Any positivity I had just wilted after that.

I feel like that plan really is a low blow.

Are you sure about this?

Of course I am!

I'm going to make copies to mix in.

There she is!

Miser!

Would you mind not calling me that?

Not that I'll deny it.

So, what do you need?

Mizushima-senpai.

Did they find out that we sneaked into the student council room?

I don't think we left any evidence.

Would you be the treasurer again?

Really?

Are you sure you want a miser for your treasurer?

This miser?

S-Sorry about that.

So, why?

Maki collapsed.

She said you work quickly.

Please... Please help Maki.

Damn it! Yeah, I know I'm useless!

And it's all my fault, too!

You don't have to get mad.

Shut up! I'm just a tsundere!

Where's the "dere"?

Who knows?!

Sure.

I'll be treasurer again.

What? Really?

On one condition, though.

Wh-What's that?

Will you make Eno the president again?

What?

You want Eno to be the president?

That's right.

Who's Eno, anyway?

I have to explain that, too?

You must mean the former student council president, Enomoto-senpai.

That's right.

What?!

You're working with the former president?

Yeah, we're old friends.

I thought you just wanted to be the treasurer again!

There's that, too,

but this all started because Eno wanted to be the president.

What the hell?!

Don't keep spitting new information at me!

I'm confused enough with Maki collapsing!
