Would you think that girls fall from the sky?
Well, I guess it'd make a good opener for some movie or manga.
It could be a prologue where something strange and special happens.
The protagonist becomes a hero and has a great adventure with the girl.
However, only fools would truly wish for that.
I mean, there's no way that girl would be normal.
Hey, idiot over there!
Lower your head right now!
I don't want to be dragged into a strange world or be called a hero.
Those things can actually be dangerous and troublesome.
There's a bomb on this bike!
You'll be hurt too!
Butei Law Article, section one!
"Believe in your comrades and help each other"!
Here I go!
That is why I, Tohyama Kinji,
don't need girls falling on me from the sky.
信じてるものを強く引き寄せる
Shinjiteru mono wo tsuyoku hikiyoseru
I hold what I believe in close to me
凍えた眼差しも守ってあげるから
Kogoeta manazashi mo mamotte ageru kara
Even your cold stare is safe under my care
暗い街の螺旋に舞い降りてく
Kurai machi no rasen ni maioriteku
I gracefully spiral down into the dark city depths

ちっぽけなもの映さない空
Chippoke na mono utsusanai sora
The sky does not reflect the meek
一人走れば怖くなかった
Hitori hashireba kowaku nakatta
But I was not afraid if I ran alone
ここで明日を裏切れば
Koko de ashita wo uragireba
If I betray my future here
もうどこにも行かれない
Mou doko ni mo ikarenai
I will have no place to go
今罪にさまよう街
Ima tsumi ni samayou machi
I wander the city, lost in my sins
ただ求めて光を
Tada motomete hikari wo
The light is all I long for
信じてるものを強く引き寄せる
Shinjiteru mono wo tsuyoku hikiyoseru
I hold what I believe in close to me
凍えた眼差しも守ってあげるから
Kogoeta manazashi mo mamotte ageru kara
Even your cold stare is safe under my care
両手に握った想いは輝き
Ryoute ni nigitta omoi wa kagayaki
The feelings I hold in my hands shine brilliantly
終わらない調べが本当に届くまで
Owaranai shirabe ga hontou ni todoku made
Until my endless melody reaches your ears
私という微熱で撃ち抜いてく
Watashi to iu binetsu de uchinuiteku
I will keep firing my flames at you

I just wanted to have a normal life.
I won't make myself stand out, be involved with anyone,
and will transfer out of this rotten place as soon as possible.
That was my one and only wish.
Morning, Kin-chan!
Didn't I already tell you not to call me that?
I'm Tohyama Kinji, not "Kin-chan".
S-Sorry!
But I was thinking about you as Kin-chan, so when I saw you I...
I-I called you Kin-chan again...
Sorry, Kin-cha-
Tokyo Butei High School Third Male Dormitory
So, why are you here?
Well, I was out on a training camp at Ise Shrine until yesterday...
...so I wasn't able to do anything for you.
You don't have to.
B-But...
Fine, fine.
So...
...have these!
Sweet boiled shrimps, salmon, and Saijou persimmons...
I also made lots of your favorite, rolled omelette!
Did you go through a lot of trouble to make all this?
No, I just got up slightly earlier than usual.
I was concerned that all you had during spring break was food from the convenience store...
That doesn't...
...concern you, though.
Here, Kin-chan.
O-Okay.
Uh...
Thanks for everything, Shirayuki.
T-Thank you too, Kin-chan!
Thank you so much!
Why are you thanking me?
B-Because you actually ate my food and thanked me for it...
Really? Black?!
No, this isn't allowed!
Thanks for the meal.
Alright. Looks like I'm safe.
Kin-chan.
We're second-years starting today.
Here's your bulletproof uniform.
Right.
Your Baretta bullets were all over the place, so I loaded them in for you.
I don't think I need to bring my gun for the opening ceremony.
You can't do that, Kin-chan.
It's in the school rules.
"Butei high school students are required to arm themselves with a gun and blade within the school premises".
The Butei Killer might strike again, too...
Butei Killer... you mean that murderer?
I thought he was already caught.
B-But a copycat criminal might strike instead...
And my fortune telling this morning says you'll be having trouble with a girl soon...
If something were to happen to you, I... I...
Alright then.
It's true that I'd have trouble transferring if I lost points for breaking a school rule.
Kin-chan, you're so cool!
It's clear that your ancestors were all heroes!
Stop that.
The term "hero" makes me sound like a brat.
Go on ahead.
I'll go after I check my mail.
Okay, I'll do your cleaning and laundry while you do that.
That's enough.
Okay!
Well... I'd be happy if you texted me.
Shoot! I'm gonna miss the bus!
I would regret missing the 7:58 bus to school on this day for the rest of my life.

I just wanted to have a normal life.

A bomb has been planted on your bicycle.
It will explode if you get off your bicycle or reduce your speed.
W-What? Who's prank is this?
You may not ask for help.
The bomb will also explode if you use your cellphone.
You're kidding me.
But a copycat criminal might strike instead...
A copycat criminal? How come?
Why target me?!
Me, who was thinking of quitting this whole Butei thing today!
Welcome, new students.
I am Sayonaki, a lecturer of the Ambulance division in Tokyo Butei High.
I will proceed to talk about the basic facts and conventions of this school.
Tokyo Butei High is located south of Rainbow bridge on a rectangular floating island two kilometers long and 500 meters wide.
It'll explode if I stop.
It'll explode if I reduce speed.
I'm fodder for the Uzi if I jump off.
What can I do?!
As you may already know, Butei High is a universal educational facility that trains Butei.
Butei were established to counter the worsening crime condition.
It is a national qualification permitting its holders to arm themselves and capture criminals, much like the police.
However, unlike the police, the Butei work for money.
They are mercenaries that can do anything as long as it is permitted under Butei law.
This is bad.
I'll have millions of holes blown through me if I don't take it down in one hit.
Due to the nature of their work, it's normal for Butei to be resented.
We had a "Butei Killer" recently, a murderer who targeted the Butei.
Please be very careful not to lose your life, at least during your stay at this school.
Though, I won't be seeing several of you here in the graduation ceremony.
No more... my legs are...
The bomb will explode if you slow down any further.
Am I really going to die here?
Do you think I'd imagine a girl would fall from the sky?
Huh?
What happened to me?
A bomb was planted on my bicycle...
A girl fell from the sky...
And...
She's cute...
Wait!
I'm stuck in here after being blasted from the explosion?!
You're kidding me!
So this girl saved me.
She risked her life...
Crap! This isn't allowed... isn't allowed... isn't allowed...

It's not going up.
What a relief. I should be fine...
You pervert!
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you...
Stop!
You molester, you ungrateful beast!
No, this isn't my fault-
So there are more.
Of what?
Those two-wheeled things are Butei Killer's toys!
Uzis from the Israeli IMI company, submachine-guns capable of firing 10 rounds of 9mm parabellum ammo per second.
We'd have been dead long ago if these jumping blocks weren't bulletproof.
B-But didn't you just shoot it down-
And I'm telling you there are more!
There are roughly seven of them.
That many?!
Come on, draw your guns too. Aren't you also a Butei High student?
I told you I can't-
Hurry! I can't go against these things alone.
Man, a girl's chest...
These are small, but still really soft...
You did it.
I've only dispersed them for the time being.
They're hiding behind the trees now, but they'll be back.
You're a strong girl. Just that is worthy of my praise.
This is your reward, my princess.
W-What?!
Please sit here and enjoy yourself, my princess.
I'm the only one who needs to be wielding guns.
What happened to you?!
Have you gone crazy?
My my. Firing at us in a dead corner is just a waste of bullets.
Careful! You'll be shot!
Better me than you, Aria.
What's with your sudden character change?!
What are you doing?
I'm protecting you, Aria.
Good shots.
I-I don't owe you anything!
I could've dealt with those toys alone...
It's the truth! Absolute truth!
A-And this doesn't make up for what you did to me earlier!
That was sexual abuse! A crime!
Aria, that's a sad misunderstanding.
I couldn't help it.
You couldn't help it?!
D-Didn't you try to s-strip me when I was unconscious?!
You even...
...saw my chest!
It's the truth! I caught you red-handed!
What on earth were you planning to do?!
T-Take responsibility!
Aria, think about it calmly.
I'm a second-year high school student.
There's no way I'd strip a middle school girl.
I'm not a middle school student!
I'm sorry, you must be an interning elementary school student.
That was pretty amazing for an elementary school student, Aria-chan.
Aria-chan?
I shouldn't have saved you!
I'm a second-year high school student!
You can do martial arts too?
You won't get away!
No criminal has ever escaped me!
Huh?
My magazine!
I'm sorry.
I won't forgive you.
I won't forgive you even if you kneel down and cry!
Katanas too?
I'll teach you a lesson, you molester!
Sorry for using your bullets.
You...!
Don't you run away, you coward!
I'll blow a gigantic hole through you!
Hysteria Savant Syndrome.
Or as I call it, Hysteria Mode.
This special property was passed down to me genetically.
The problem with it is it even affects my mental state and manner of speech.
I'll find myself wanting to protect the girl in front of me no matter what.
And for some reason, I'll also adapt a manner of speech so cocky that remembering it makes me want to die.
"Reward"? "Princess"?
I'm sorry, I'm late because something came up.
I want to sit next to him.
W-What? She was in my class?
Good for you, Kinji.
The spring of your youth has finally come.
Sensei! I'm supposed to sit next to Kinji from drawing lots, but the transfer student can have my seat!
I see. Well then, Kanzaki-san can sit next to Tohyama-kun.
No wait, Sensei...
This.
Your belt.
Riko gets it! She totally gets it!
You totally just set a game flag!
Ki-kun isn't wearing a belt.
The twintailed girl brought your belt here.
This means that Ki-kun did something with her that requires taking off his belt!
I see. So they're basically lovers.
With such a cute girl?!
I thought he was a nobody...
Doesn't he have no interest in girls?
How dirty...
Come on, now...
L-Love is rubbish!
Remember this, all of you!
I'll blow a hole through anyone who dares to talk trash like that again!
Way too much happened for the beginning of a new term...
Sign: You have a new message
She really loves texting.
From: Hotogi Shirayuki Sub: How are you?
Good work, Kin-chan!
Have the Inquesta classes ended yet?
S.S.R. seems to have classes until late at night.
I want to go home so I can-
Shirayuki must have it tough too, in more ways than one.
It's like the bombing incident this morning didn't even happen.
But why would the Butei Killer...
...no, the Butei Killer copycat target me?
But this doesn't mean he's after me specifically.
I suppose he'd target anyone that's a Butei.
But why go through the trouble of planting a bomb on my bike?
Maybe he does resent me personally.
But who would go to such lengths?
Argh, stop it!
Who is it?
You took your time!
K-Kanzaki?
You can call me Aria.
Hey, Kanzaki! Wait!
Don't just barge in, Kanzaki!
Hey!
Kinji, become my slave!
Just as Shirayuki said, I had trouble with a girl today.

Yes, that has a good ring to it if I do say so myself!
What nonsense are you spouting?!
With that said, form a party with me.
Don't be ridiculous! Why would I do that?!
