Ep. 24: Shurei faces expulsion threats while helping fellow officials and discovering hidden porn

24

Shurei returns to her duties as a joukan, only to face a proposal by officials to dismiss useless staff within a month. No department wishes to accept her, and while Anjuu and Kouki discuss the firings, Kouki agrees with the measure. Anjuu warns Kouki against bullying Shurei, who feels responsible for the situation. Ryuki senses her distress and challenges her to a game of Go, promising vacation time for a win. Shurei assists other joukan, meeting a strange colleague named Seiga-kun, and together they help secure jobs for their peers. While cleaning the common room, Shurei finds hidden peach-colored books. Ryuki intentionally loses the game, granting her time off because he does not want to lose her, while Seiran assures him of their support.
