Here you go, Master.
Oh, thanks.
I'm the weapon Master hates so much.
I wonder if I should really keep that from him...
I wonder what Master's thinking.
I wanna find my way into the girls' bath...
I can hear my heart bell

But then, again...
kimi wa nannimo shiranai keredo
君は何にも知らないけれど
you know nothing of it.
In the Fifteenth Century, at the dawn of the Age of Exploration,
Joan of Arc did as a voice bade her in a dream,
dressed as a man and rose to save her country.
It's been a few hundred years since then.
And again, a young man, listening to a voice heard in a dream,
is about to dress in women's clothing and seek out the New World.
Ei-kun, that outfit suits you.
Stop it, Mikako.
Let's Go! My Paradise
Bathe together, huh?
Tomo-chan said he wanted to go with all of us.
Well, you know, going to a public bath every now and then is nice.
Since it's your idea, Sakurai-kun, you must be thinking of something dirty.
No, no, that would be a bad idea for a public bath...
Yeah, they'd drag him through the city. Not that I wouldn't love that...
Yeah, right. Once I use one of Icarus's cards, they'll be all mine.
Okay, Icarus-san, give me all the cards you have.
Here.
Sorry about that. I can imagine what you were planning.
You can come with us some other time. For now it'll be just the girls.
See you.
Sakarai-kun, you should have thought a bit further ahead.
You're dumb. It was so obvious.
This sucks. Now I must...
I'm not interested.
The girls are taking a bath! There'll be tons of them wearing not a thread!
Senpai, it's the New World.
What did you just say?
Think about it.
Men can only enter the women's bath until they're around ten,
and any men above that age have no chance of ever doing it again.
We no longer have any idea what the world of the women's bath looks like.
The New World we're looking for might very well be there!
Senpai, that's...
When I talked to Icarus previously, I took one of these to examine.
This is a quantum transformation device.
Apparently it doesn't work all that reliably, but for a time it will transform you into something else.
Use it to become a girl.
However, you can't just go straight to the girl's bath once you do.
To avoid raising suspicion with Mikako and the girls, you must completely transform into a girl,
and only then can you set your eyes on the New World.
Understood?
Yes, sir!
This'll be a difficult mission. You may never return.
That's a given. I'm prepared.
I'm back!
Huh?
Huh?!
I'm Tomoko!
So basically, you used a card to become a girl?
Quantum Transformation Rate: 100% operational.
That's right. I'll be living as a girl for a while.
Metamorphosis: stable.
All green.
Everything looks good for the time being.
I'm a girl now, so there's lots of things I wanna try.
I guess I'm used to seeing panties,
but now I get to wear them, so I'm kinda looking forward to seeing them in a different way.
They put pads in the bras, do they? I didn't know that.
I have an idea. Why don't you pick a cute bra out too, Nymph?
Huh?
Sohara suggested something like this.
Yeah, right. Why would I want to wear something so impractical?
It's not even armored and it has absolutely no stealth properties.
But, don't you think it looks cute?
See! Look how cute it is.
What's "cute"?
Oh boy, she's asking another complicated question.
Why don't I just show you what it means to be cute?
See! Cute!
What do you think of the frills?
Look how girly it is!
It's very cute, Master.
Hey, Tomoki. Do cute things make you happy?
Well, not so much "happy", but it is pleasing to the eye.
Okay.
Hm?
What do you think, Tomoki? Am I cute?
Y-Yeah.
That's good. I'll buy this one.
I'm a girl now, so I'm gonna become popular at school.
Dummy's Guide to Being Popular with the Fellas
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
Jeez, you're such a pervert.
Sh-She's so cute.
What was that?
Every transfer student has to do this. Having your heroine appear like this is the best.
I don't get it.
Good morning, Icarus-san, Nymph-san.
Oh, where's Tomo-chan?
He said he got a cold.
No way. Tomo-chan caught a cold?
He almost never gets sick.
I'm worried about him.
I wonder if I should go visit him after school.
He'll be fine. Tomoki said it wasn't that big a deal, so don't worry about him.
Right, Alpha?
I see. You're...
Nice to meet you. I just transferred here. My name is Tomoko.
I hope we can all be friends.
Nice to meet you too.
Perfect. Sohara hasn't figured out what's going on.
Just as planned.
My hobby is making snacks and such.
I made some cookies. Please try them.
I'll take one.
Thanks.
These are terrible.
Oops, I accidentally put in salt instead of sugar. I'm such a ditz.
Sh-She's so cute.
Home Economics
I just transferred here, so I didn't have anything else to wear.
Do you like it? Meow.
It's cute!
Is that what Tomoki means by cute?
I think that's just what Master thinks is the perfect woman...
Like this? Meow.
Meow.
Housewives' Love Theater
Episode 48
Pastoral Sonata
Lady Umako, have you awoken?
Tomoko-chan, here's a present for you.
Look this way.
Ah, what should I do...?
Tomoko-san's pretty popular.
She seems almost like she comes from those weird guides about 2D girls.
I bet that's what guys think of as their perfect girl.
I guess this is kinda educational.
Yeah.
Don't even think of trying to look!
Girls changing!
Don't even think of trying to look!
Time for PE at last.
Calm down... Time to charge in, full speed.
I'm so glad to be alive.
Oh, Tomoko-san, the locker next to mine is free.
Come over here.
Okay!
Sorry! I'm such a klutz!
Tomoko-san, you're really cute.
I bet if Tomo-chan saw you, he'd fall in love with you on the spot.
Oh, Tomo-chan. He's a childhood friend of mine. He's in our class.
He's absent today, but he's a perv and a bit of a freak, and panties are the only thing on his mind.
He seems harmless and peace-loving, but he's a predator.
You should watch out for him.
That's a bit harsh, isn't it?
But he can't leave people alone when they're in trouble, and actually he's quite caring and nice.
Hm?
Never mind. I was just talking.
You pass.
I've been watching everything you did today.
The way you talk, the way you move, everything you do. Everything's within normal parameters for a girl.
Even your extreme clumsiness has somehow grabbed the hearts of some of the geeks out there and it seems to be working well.
Score!
I was right to take you in.
At this rate, even Mikako won't know what hit her.
It's time, Tomoki!
Jeez, call me Tomoko, brother.
What? A public bath?
Icarus-san said she really wanted to go with everyone.
So, who are you exactly?
I'm Tomoko.
Well, I just transferred here.
When I was at my last school, I really looked up to you, Prez.
I've always wanted to get to know you better.
So, please let me go to the bath with you.
Sure. I don't really mind.
Yes!
Tomo-chan's out, surprisingly, so we don't really have to worry about him trying to spy on us.
That's good. Why don't we all go, then?
Great work, Tomoki.
Now... to the New World!
It's been a while since I've been to a bathhouse.
Awesome! You look just like a girl.
It looks like you understand now, Tomoki.
You've become a full-fledged girl if you successfully blended in here.
This truly is the New World.
Master, your heart rate is becoming erratic.
Please be careful.
So this is where you were?
I have to monitor Master's metamorphosis.
Sounds like you're having a rough time, Alpha.
Don't you think this is all a little stupid?
Master ordered me to do this.
Ordered you, huh?
If my orders were as easy as that, I'd finish my mission in an instant.
You're pretty lucky. I bet you don't have anything to worry about.
That's not true.
What?
You once told me I wouldn't be able to fool Master forever.
If Master knew the truth, he'd hate me for sure.
But I always wonder if it's okay to hiding it from him... if it's okay to keep lying to him.
It's Tomoki. He'll be fine.
Downers are all stupid. I'm sure he won't notice.
Prez!
Would you like me to wash your back?
Sure, if you wouldn't mind.
Yes!
I had you wait, dear hands of mine!
I had you wait, desires of mine!
It's now time for me to take the first step into new territory!
Here I go!
My hand slipped! Sorry, Prez!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
What's wrong?
The metamorphosis of a certain part of Master's body is changing.
Master, this is getting dangerous.
If you stay excited, it's possible an unknown metamorphosis will occur as a result.
Um, Master?
I'll wash you down too, Sohara-san.
I-I think I'm fine, thanks...
Don't hold back! We're all girls here!
That tickles!
Yes!
Master, can you hear me?
Um, Master...
We're all girls!
Yes!
We're all girls!
It seems he's totally lost it.
What's wrong with Tomoko-san?
It's a battlefield in here. Not that I don't like things as they are.
This is terrible.
Master, please calm down.
At this rate, the quantum transformation device will...
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Why is there a faucet here?
That was the limit.
So, I'll be leaving now.
U-Um... Sohara-san... you dropped your bath towel.
I don't care. I don't even care if you see me naked right now.
All I care about right now is my desire to kill you!
It's important to know when to pull out, Tomoki.
Clean it all up!
Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry!
We can finally bathe in peace.
It's okay. There shouldn't be anyone here right now.
It's nice.
It's really great.
Icarus has her wings and Nymph-chan seems to have been worrying about her choker.
It must have been hard to take a bath with us.
Sorry about that, you two. I didn't even notice.
I've always been thinking of you two as normal girls. I forgot you were Angeloids.
I'm happy that you thought of me as a normal girl.
I want to be even more human for Master.
You're fine just the way you are.
You can't lie like you did before when you wanted to become more human, okay?
It's a promise, okay?
Is it bad to lie?
Yeah, it's bad.
It's a promise.
If you lie, you'll have to swallow a thousand needles... right?
I have to tell Master the truth...
Oh, I'm glad you were able to take a bath.
They made me clean the bathhouse and the old lady in charge let me off with that, I guess-
Master.
Huh?
I have something important to tell you.
What?
I've been hiding something from you.
But if I tell you, I'm sure...
...you'll hate me...
Good job, Icarus.
You've become a bit more human.
Humans have one or two things they hide from each other,
don't you think?
Master...
It's fine.
I... I...
I said it's fine.
Let me know when you feel like talking about it. We're family.
See? I told you Tomoki'd be fine.
You're a lucky girl, having him as your Master.
Senpai, what are the Angeloids?
I've kinda thought about it before...
I've always wanted a maid robot that'd listen to whatever I ask.
But I don't want to see Icarus suffer for me.
The only thing I know is that there's a "New World" far above us...
...and that Icarus and Nymph are still trapped by the world up there in the skies.
I wonder who made the Angeloids.
I wanna punch them.

It looks like a single Beta isn't useful at all.
At this rate, she might run away. You okay with that?
I'm not worried. As long as I have this chain, she cannot run.
Besides, I've already decided to scrap her.
You're pretty evil.
I can't wait. It's been a while since I've been this excited.
