[Oh, Sanada. Yukimura loves it when he lets his dry sense of humor show. He's correct, of course. Marui is known for many things, but modesty is not among them. How cute for Flayn to rush to his defense.]

"Sure." [The redhead accepts.] "And that's why there's no need to worry about me. I'm gonna support my partner and create a genius combination with her. That's all there is to it. Now, let's have a nice picnic with all this yummy food!"

[Yukimura doesn't say anything this time as Marui begins collecting items from the spread. Instead he looks to Flayn with a smile.] You're both correct. The men's candidate was an easy decision-- and Marui's adaptability was among the deciding factors. You don't need to be concerned with what works for him. The objective is to select the women's candidate that best represents the interests of the girls' club and the school.

"That's right!" [Aya adds in.] "What do you think those would be, Flayn-chan?"
