RUNA TAKES THE SCHOOL BY STORM!

Keikain Runa is usually dealing with global turmoil and corporate catastrophes, but those high-stakes crises seem to have paused. Still, studying, social engagements, and even a side gig developing a makeup line are keeping her just as busy!

Her hectic academic life doesn’t stop Runa from ducking away when the occasion requires—for instance, when Teia Motor Co. needs trackside support at a big car race. But when the school festival rolls around, Runa needs to focus on helping her classmates pull off an event second to none.

The students decide to give the festival a boost by putting together a temporary maid café—a tricky project they’ll definitely need Runa’s help to pull off! But as she pursues so many projects, does Runa risk overlooking the signs that the wider world is growing turbulent again…?
