We have a transfer student today!
Nice to meet you, Ichika.
Feel free to call me Charles.
...y-you'll have to date me!
I will never acknowledge that you are her younger brother!
Not in a million years!

My Roomate is a Blond Noble
One!
Two!
One!
Two!
First you go swoosh like this and you go boom, bam!
You kind of get it, right? It's all instincts, instincts!
Huh? Why don't you understand, idiot?
When you defend, the right half of your body moves five degrees diagonally, to the front.
When dodging, it's twenty degrees back.
I'll just put it bluntly.
I have no idea!
Why don't you understand?
Just listen carefully!
Allow me to explain it to you one more time!
Basically, you shift diagonally five degrees to the front-
Ichika!
Can you let me test something out for a moment?
I want to fight Byakushiki.
Charles! All right.
So, with that, let's continue later.
Look, look! Orimura and Dunois are fighting!
Dunois is plioting his Raphael Revive!
It's France's second generation IS!
Then, here I come, Ichika!
Okay.
Ichika!
You—!
What?
Basically, you can't win because you simply don't understand the nature of long-range weapons.
I thought I understood it, though...
Your Byakushiki doesn't have an equalizer, right?
Yeah. Apparently there aren't any bus slots open.
This is just a guess, but your capacity is probably being used up by the one-off ability.
One-off?
It's something that occurs naturally when the IS is completely synchronized with the pilot.
In Byakushiki's case, it's most likely Reiraku Byakuya.
I see now.
Your explanation is easy to understand.
Hmph, you just don't listen to my advice!
I made it so simple for you!
What part of my logical explanation are you unsatisfied with?
But Reiraku Byakuya is a wacky ability that even channels your shield energy to attack.
The IS Orimura-sensei used the other day has the same ability.
Even siblings won't be able to pull off the same abilities, in principle.
Here, practice a little.
Can you use someone else's equipment?
Usually, no.
However, if the owner unlocks it, any registered person can use it.
Is this the right posture?
Let me see... close your armpits.
And your left arm goes here.
Get it?
Okay.
Say, aren't those two...
getting along a little too well?
How is it?
Yeah, I think I got it.
It feels really fast, for one thing.
Hey, look at that!
You're kidding! That's a third generation German suit!
I heard it's still undergoing trials though.
Laura Bodewig!
What? It's her?
The German cadet representative who slapped Ichika?
Orimura Ichika.
What?
You seem to have a personal IS.
That makes it simple. Fight me.
I refuse. I don't have any reason to.
You might not have one, but I do.
It can wait, can't it? The interclass league match is about to begin.
Then...
Charles!
Attacking so suddenly...
Germans really are short-tempered, huh?
I cannot believe you dare stand in my way in a mere second generation French IS.
It's more mobile than a third generation German IS that's far from mass production.
You students over there! What are you doing?
I'll withdraw for today.
What is all this about, Ichika?
What happened between you and that person?
Ichika, are you all right?
Yeah, you saved me back there. Thanks, Charles.
Well, then, I'll head back to our room first.
Aren't you going to take a shower here?
You always act like this.
Why do you avoid changing with me so much?
I-It's nothing like that!
Of course it isn't!
We should change together once in a while.
Well...
Don't be so shy!
Charles?
What was that?
I will never acknowledge that you are her younger brother!
Not in a million years.
Answer me, drillmaster!
Why are you here?
How many times do I have to tell you?
I have things I need to do.
That's all.
What is there to do this far in the east?
I beg you, drillmaster. Please return to Germany and instruct us again!
You can't even make use of half of your power here!
In the first place, the students at this academy are not worth your teachings!
Not only are they never alert, they consider IS some kind of fashion statement!
I do not see why you are wasting your time on such-
Stop right there, little girl.
You've become a stuck-up since we last met.
You're acting like the chosen one when you're but 15.
I-I am...
Return to your dorm. I'm busy.
You, the boy over there. Have you been eavesdropping?
I'm not very impressed with that strange habit of yours.
How did you even come to that conclusion, Chifuyu-nee?
Address me as Orimura-sensei when you're in school.
Y-Yes.
If you have time for useless things, go practice more.
At this rate, you'll lose the first game of the interclass league at the end of the month.
I know that!
I see. Fine then.
Hey, wait up!
It's about something Laura girl was saying just now.
She said she won't acknowledge me as your younger brother.
Isn't she talking about how Chifuyu-nee couldn't win the second time because of my-
It's all in the past.
You need not worry.
So then.
During the 2nd IS International Fighting Tournament,
I was kidnapped by someone on the day of the finals.
I still have no idea what their motives were.
I was tied up and imprisoned.
The one who saved me, and withdrew from the tournament, was Chifuyu-nee.
Chifuyu-nee forfeited the final round.
As everyone believed that she would win the second time,
her forfeit in the finals caused a huge uproar.
So, to return the favor to the German military, who had informed her of my location,
she spent about a year instructing the IS division of the German military.
Everything was because I was such a helpless little brother.
I can't let Chifuyu-nee protect me all the time.
I'm back.
Charles, are you back yet?
Oh, yeah.
Charles, isn't there any body wash left?
Here's a new one.
So...
This is body wash.
O-Okay.
Thank you.
Ah, okay then.
Uh, so...
Would you like some tea?
Yeah, I'll have some.
Here.
T-Thank you.
Hey! Ouch, it's hot!
Sorry!
Are you all right? Let me have a look.
Ah, it's all red and swollen.
I'm really sorry.
It's no big deal. That aside, um...
they're touching.
Ichika, you pervert.
What the heck?
So, why did you pretend to be a male?
It's because my family told me to.
Your family—you mean the Dunois Company?
Yes. My dad is the president of the company.
It was a personal order from him.
You know, Ichika...
I'm not my father's real child.
I never lived with my father...
until two years ago, when I was suddenly taken in.
Indeed, when my mother passed away, the Dunois people came to take me.
And they performed some tests on me, and in the process,
they learned that I had a high IS aptitude.
So, while it was still unofficial, I became a test pilot.
Still, I've met my father only a couple of times.
We haven't even spent an hour of speaking.
After all that...
The company went through a crisis.
What? Doesn't the Dunois Company
hold the third largest share of mass-produced IS in the entire world?
That's true, but the Revive is still a second generation model.
Right now, IS developers are mainly concerned with third generation models.
Cecilia and Laura probably transferred in to collect data for that.
The company begun researching third generation models,
but it produced meager results.
At this rate, they'll lose their development rights.
So, what does that have to do with you pretending to be a male?
It's simple. I'm supposed to gather publicity.
I'd be able to get closer to the unusual case that occurred in Japan if I were a boy.
Then perhaps I'd be able to obtain information on him and his suit.
That's right. I'm here to steal your data...
On his orders.
Now that I've told you the truth, I feel more at ease.
Thanks for listening.
Sorry for lying to you until now.
Are you fine with that?
You're not okay with that, are you?
Ichika...
Children are not born without parents.
That's a given...
But, that doesn't mean parents can do whatever they please with their child.
That's ridiculous!
Ichika....
It's the same for me. Chifuyu-nee and I were abandoned by our parents.
Don't worry about me. I don't even want to meet them anymore.
But, what will you do from now on?
What will I do?
Since I've been revealed to be a girl, they'll call me back to my country.
I don't know what will happen after that.
I'd be lucky to be sent to prison.
Then stay here!
It's fine as long as I keep quiet.
Even if someone finds out, your dad can't do anything about it.
IS Academy regulations:
"Students of this academy, whilst enrolled,
belong to no country, organization, or group."
In other words, you're safe in this academy for three years at least.
We'll come up with a plan in the meantime.
I'm amazed you remember. There are 55 of those regulations, you know.
I may not look like it, but I'm a pretty hard worker.
Ichika,
Thanks for keeping my secret.
W-Well...
Your breasts! I can almost see them.
Does it really bother you that much?
Of course!
Is it that... you want to see?
Ichika, you pervert.
That's not it! What makes you think that?!
Ichika-san, are you inside?
You haven't had your dinner yet. Could it be you're not feeling well?
Ichika-san, I'm coming in!
What are you doing?
W-Well, Charles seems to have caught a cold...
so I'm tucking him in.
Well, that's too bad for him.
May I borrow Ichika-san?
Go ahead.
Coincidentally, I haven't had my dinner, either. Would you like to go together?
Sure.
Enjoy yourselves.
Then let's go!
Whoa, hey!
W-What are you doing?
We're going to have dinner together.
Even so, what are you holding onto his arm for?
It's natural for a gentleman to escort a lady.
Except it's more like I'm the one being escorted.
Then, let me accompany you.
I didn't have enough at dinner tonight.
Oh my, Houki, you will gain weight if you eat too much.
Hmmph, don't worry.
I can burn off calories easily by practicing drawing this sword.
Wait, isn't that a real sword?
W-Well then.
Let's go.
Houki, what do you think you are doing?
Cafeteria
A gentleman escorting a lady is natural.
Hold it, both of you. You're only making this more difficult for-
Ouch!
Don't you have anything else to say, being in this situation?
People who can't realize their happiness are lower than a dog.
I-I'm back.
Welcome back.
What happened?
Don't worry about it.
I brought you some food.
Thanks. I'll have some.
What's wrong?
Uh...
Are you not good with chopsticks?
I'm still practicing.
My bad. I'll go get you a fork.
Eh? No need for that.
Charles, remember that you can rely on others more.
If you keep hesitating, you'll only suffer.
How about you begin by relying on me?
Well, then...
Ummm...
Huh?
Ichika, can you feed me?
Huh?
You said I could depend on you.
No?
All right! A man doesn't go back on his words.
Well, here I come. Say "aan"!
Aan~
Is it good?
It's delicious.
Is that so? Great.
Can I have rice next?
Uh? Rice? Okay, wait.
Okay, aan~
Aan~
You have rice on your cheeks.
Take it off for me.
What? Come on.
Drillmaster...
Your perfect, unmatched powers are my motives, my raison d'être.
Orimura Ichika...
You're the one hindering the drillmaster.
I will remove you...
By any means necessary.
