We have a transfer student today.
Nice to meet you, Ichika.
You can call me Charles, too.
I will have you accompany me!
I will not approve you.
I will never recognize you as her younger brother.
Mabushii kaze no naka de egakuyo kimi no egao
Amidst a bright wind, I think of your smile.
Sunao ni nareru shunkan
It's time I can be honest with myself.
Chiisana koto de yureru yowai jibun ga kuyashii
I hate how I'm excited over the smallest things.
Nakitai toki datte ue wo muite
Even when you want to cry, look up!
Watashi dake ni dekiru koto ga aruno
There are things only I can do.
Akiramenaiyo kimi wo mamori tsudukeru
I won't give up. I'll continue protecting you.
Tomaranai supiido de omoi ga afureteiku
Feelings keep welling up at an unstoppable speed.
Maketaku wa nai dareyori mo kagayaite itai
I don't want to lose. I want to shine brighter than anyone.
Hoshi ga mienai hi mo hikari wa aru kitto
Even on nights you can't see stars, light is sure to be there.
Shinjiru koto negai mirai e
I head to the future believing and dreaming.
Ano sora de aeru kara
We're sure to meet in the sky.
Roommate is a Blond Gentleman
One! Two!
You go slash, and then whack, smack from the side!
Don't you get the gist of it? Feel it.
Huh?! Why don't you, you moron?!
When on defense, the right half of your body comes forward and up five degrees.
When evading, you shift twenty degrees back.
I'll be frank.
I don't understand anything!
Why don't you?
Pay attention!
I'll explain again.
So you tilt your body forward five degrees.
Ichika.
Do you mind sparring with me?
I want to have a match against Byakushiki.
Charles! Sure!
Well then, I'll catch you later.
Look, look. Orimura-kun and Dunoa-kun are going to have a match.
Dunoa-kun's unit is Rafale Revive, right?
France's second generation IS!
Ready, Ichika?
Sure.
Ichika...
Why you...
What?
You lost simply because you don't understand the characteristics of long-range weapons.
I think I do, but...
Your Byakushiki doesn't have an equalizer, right?
No. Apparently the bus-slots are all taken.
I'm guessing that's because they're allocating more power to your One-Off ability.
One-Off?
It's a natural ability that manifests when the pilot and IS are in optimal sync.
I think Reiryaku Byakuya would be Byakushiki's.
I see.
Your explanation's easy to understand.
And you don't listen to my advice, eh?
I lectured you so clearly, too.
What issue does he have with my constructive explanations?
But Reiryaku Byakuya is an insane attack that even uses shield energy for offense.
It's the same ability Orimura-sensei's IS used, right?
Just because you're siblings doesn't mean you can use the same attack effortlessly.
Let's practice a little.
I thought I couldn't use other people's equipment.
Usually.
But when the owner disables the protection, every registered person can use it.
Really?
Is this the right stance?
Let's see...
Tighten your arm.
Move your left arm here.
Understand?
Okay.
Hey. Aren't those two getting along too well?
How was it?
Well, how should I put it...
I guess, "fast".
Hey, look over there.
No way! It's Germany's third generation model.
I heard it was still undergoing trials there.
Laura Bodewig.
What? So that's her?
Germany's national representative candidate who slapped Ichika?
Orimura Ichika.
What?
I had heard you possessed a personal unit, as well.
I will get to my point.
Fight against me.
No. I don't have a reason to.
You may not, but I do.
It doesn't have to be this moment, does it?
The Class League Match's coming up soon.
You can wait until then.
Then...
Charles!
Throwing the gauntlet like that...
Looks like Germans have short tempers.
A second generation model made in France dares to stand before me?
Yeah, since it's more likely to work than a German third generation model who knows when will be fit for mass production.
You guys! What are you doing?!
I will stand down today.
What was that about, Ichika?
What happened between you and her?
Ichika, are you all right?
Yeah, you saved me there.
Thanks, Charles.
I'll head back to our room first.
You're not going to shower here?
You're always like that, aren't you?
Why don't you want to change with me?
I-I-It's nothing like that.
Of course it is.
Let's get changed together once in a while.
N-No...
Don't be such a stranger.
Charles?
What the heck?
I will not approve you.
I will never recognize you as her younger brother.
Answer me, Instructor! What are you doing at a place like this?!
Don't make me repeat myself.
I have duties to fulfill.
That's all.
What duty do you have on this Far East island?
Please, Instructor. Please instruct us in Germany again!
Not even half of your potential is put to good use here!
Besides, students at this school are not worthy of your instruction!
They have no sense of danger and think of IS as fashion statements or something.
And for you to devote your time to people like that...
Leave it at that, little runt.
You've become an important person in the short time I haven't seen you, eh?
Do you think you're some sort of "chosen one" at the age of fifteen?
I-I'm...
Go back to the dorm. I'm busy.
Boy!
Eavesdropping, are you?
I don't appreciate strange fetishes like that.
Wh-What are you thinking, Chifuyu-nee?!
Call me Orimura-sensei at school.
Y-Yes...
If you have time to waste, then get some practice in.
At this rate, you'll lose your first match in the tournament at the end of the month.
I know.
Okay then.
Hey, wait.
Earlier, what Laura was saying...
She said she wouldn't approve of me being your brother.
Is it because of how you missed becoming champion for a second time because of me?
It's in the past.
You don't have to dwell on it.
See you.
The second Mondo Grosso, IS World Championship Tournament.
On the day of the finals, I was kidnapped by someone.
I still don't know what they wanted.
I was restrained and locked up.
The one who saved me was Chifuyu-nee, who came after ditching the finals match.
Chifuyu-nee lost by default.
There was no doubt she would have won two years in a row, so the forfeit caused a huge uproar.
Then, to repay the favor to the German military, who had tipped her to my whereabouts,
she worked as an instructor for the German Army IS Force for a little over a year.
All because I was weak...
What a shameful brother I am.
I can't be protected by Chifuyu-nee forever.
I'm back.
Are you back, Charles?
Oh yeah.
Charles, the body soap's out, right?
Here's a replace-
Ah...
Here's the body soap.
Y-Yeah.
Thank you.
Catch you later.
Yeah.
So, um...
Let's have tea.
Yeah.
I'll have some, too.
Here.
Thank you.
H-Hey!
Wow, hot!
Hot! Hot! Hot!
I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
Let me take a look.
It's all red.
I'm really sorry.
It's nothing.
Rather than that...
Could you...
Y-You're pressing against me.
You pervert.
How so?!
So, why were you pretending to be a guy?
My parent told me to.
You mean the Dunoa CEO?
Yes. My father.
It's a direct order from him.
You see, Ichika...
I wasn't born from his lawfully wedded wife.
I lived separately from him for many years, but I was brought into the family two years ago...
...when my mother died.
People from Dunoa came to fetch me.
After doing many tests, they discovered I have good compatibility with IS.
So, unofficially, I became a test pilot.
But I've only met my father twice.
I've talked to him maybe less than an hour in total.
After that, the business fell into a financial crisis.
But I thought Dunoa was the third largest mass producer of IS in the world.
Yes, but no matter how one looks at it, Revive is a second generation model.
Currently, mainstream research is on third generation models.
I think the true purpose for Cecilia-san and Laura-san's transfers is data collection.
We're working on third generation research, as well, but it's not progressing well.
At this rate, production rights will be taken away.
How is that related to you pretending to be a guy?
Simple.
A marketing ploy to gather attention.
And if I pretended to be a boy, it would be easier to make contact with the special case that came up in Japan.
They thought they might be able to gather data on that individual and his unit, too.
That's right. He told me to steal your data.
Telling the truth makes me feel much better.
Thank you for listening.
Also, I'm sorry for lying to you.
Are you really all right with that?
Are you really fine with this?
No, right?!
Ichika?
Without parents, children are not born.
Of course they aren't!
But it doesn't mean they can do anything they want with their children!
Ichika...
I...
Both Chifuyu-nee and I were cast off by our parents.
Don't worry about that.
I don't want to see them, anyway.
But, what are you going to do now?
Well...
Since my cover's blown, I'm sure I'll be called back to my country.
I don't know what happens after that.
If I'm lucky, maybe I'll end up in jail.
Then stay here!
I just have to keep this to myself.
Even if the others find out, I'm sure your father and his company can't do anything to you.
IS School Appendix.
Students, while enrolled in this school, will not be affiliated with any nation, group, or association.
So as long as you're at this school, you're safe for at least three years.
Think of a way out in the meantime.
I'm amazed you remembered that.
There are fifty-five items in the appendix.
Despite appearances, I'm pretty good with books.
Ichika.
Thank you for protecting me.
D-Don't mention it.
Y-Your breasts. They're showing.
Do they catch your eyes that much?
Of course!
By any chance, do you want to see them?
You pervert.
No! Why did you take it there?!
Ichika-san? Are you in?
It seems you have yet to have dinner. Are you not feeling well?
Ichika-san, I'm letting myself in.
What are you doing?
Charles said he was feeling a little sick, so I was taking care of him.
Oh my, I'm sorry.
Would it be all right if I took Ichika-san away?
Yes, go ahead.
I happen to not have had dinner yet, either.
Would you like to have dinner together?
S-Sure.
Enjoy.
Let's go.
Hey.
Wh-What are you doing?!
We're going to have dinner together.
Where's the reason to link arms and be so close?!
It's only natural for a man to escort a lady.
If you ask me, I feel like I'm the one getting escorted.
Then I shall join you.
I wasn't feeling completely satisfied with the dinner I had.
Houki-san, eating too much will accelerate your getting fat.
You need not worry about that.
I'll practice iai with this and burn off the calories.
Note: "Iaido" is the martial art of quickdrawing a katana, striking an opponent, and resheathing
That's a sword with a blade, isn't it?!
S-So, let's all go.
Houki-san, what are you doing?
It's natural for a man to escort a lady, right?
Hold on a moment, both of you.
This just makes walking hard.
Ow!
You have nothing else to say in this situation?
Those who do not realize the good fortune they are experiencing are worse than dogs.
I-I'm back...
Welcome back.
What's wrong?
Don't worry about it.
I brought food for you.
Thank you. I'll have it.
What's wrong?
You can't use chopsticks?
I'm practicing, but...
Sorry about that. I'll go get a fork for you.
No, you don't have to.
You should learn to lean on others a little more.
If you're so humble about everything, you'll miss out on things.
Why don't you start out by leaning on me?
Th-Then...
Um...
Could you feed me?
Eh?
Y-You said I could lean on you.
You won't?
Okay. A man doesn't go back on his word!
Ready?
Say "Ah".
Ah.
Is it good?
It is.
That's great.
I want some rice next.
Rice?
Okay, here comes.
Here, say "Ah".
Ah.
You got rice on you.
Can you get it?
Oh fine.
Instructor.
Your absolute strength is my goal and the reason I exist.
Orimura Ichika.
The very person who sullied her.
I will eliminate you.
No matter the means.
BrushUP!! yuuki kyou mo watashi no haato kirameku
BrushUP!! Courage, today again my heart will glitter.
Next Future hajimatteru ne!
My next future has already begun.
dare ni mo yuzurenai yo sorezore no puraido
We can't surrender our pride to anyone.
mitome atteru tte iwanakute mo
We don't have to say that we acknowledge each other.
massugu maemuki na no... wakaru
You're always positive. I can tell.
ganbatteru notte ureshii shinpashii
Seeing you work so hard is a nice kind of sympathy.
tsuyoi kaze ga mikata ka douka nante
Tell me, is the strong wind our ally?
kankei nai jibun shidai da wa ikanakucha!
It's all up to you. We've got to get moving!
tomaranai karadajuu ni nagaredasu enajii
Unstoppable energy flows from our bodies.
saikou no watashi de tondeike!
Fly because of my success!
Super Super Stream kanjiteru yo
I feel the super super stream.

It'll turn into wings that may even fly me past both present and future.

BrushUP!! Courage, today again my unyielding heart will shine.
