UMAs! OOPArts!
The philosopher's stone! Poltergeists!
Dopplegangers!
Did you know there are heaps of occurrences in this world
that can't be explained by conventional wisdom?
My name is Ito Miyabi. I'm a second year at Suzaku High School,
and a member of the Supernatural Studies Club.
Right now, I'm engaged in the greatest of research subjects: the kiss!
In our Supernatural Studies Club
we have members who switch personalities when they kiss.
At present, explaining this mystery is my ultimate mission!
What the heck...
Huh?
They won't give us a club budget?
That's right, money! The funds that allow us to perform club activities!
Episode 3: "Will You Accept? Or Won't You?"
I've negotiated with the student council president repeatedly,
but he just goes off on unrelated tangents
and never gets down to the issue at hand no matter how long I wait!
It's so frustrating!
Him, huh?
No funds, huh? Do we actually need that sorta thing in this club?
True. It does seem like things will work out for the most part
if you are around, Yamada-kun.
I'm not some handy tool, you know!
You guys don't get it at all!
As long as we have funds, we can make this place more like a clubroom!
It's pretty much fine the way it is now.
I like things nice and simple.
That's because you two are filthy boys!
And here I thought I could finally make this into an ideal clubroom...
Ideal clubroom?
Yes! We'd naturally have tools and materials for research!
A pot for drinking tea, and a sofa! We could even buy a TV!
Ghost Masters
I see, that could be nice!
It sounds like it would make for a convenient and fun clubroom.
Right?
But if they won't give us a budget, it's just another dream.
Wait a sec. Does that include a microwave?
Hey!
I'm asking you if we could buy a microwave!
Huh? A microwave?
Yeah! If only we had a microwave!
I wouldn't have to eat cold bread or lunch boxes at lunch time anymore!
You get surprisingly worked up about food.
I'm sure we could do research on plasma and whatnot if we had a microwave, too.
All right, it's settled!
I'll go get us a budget from the president!
C'mon, let's go, Miyamura!
Why me, too?
You're a student council officer, aren't you?!
Back me up!
Good grief. I don't think there's any point though...
Student Council Room
Hey, listen up, President!
You bastard, what's the big idea not giving the Supernatural Studies Club a budget?
Huh?!
Oh, dear. A guest for me?
Yeah, a guest! You heard me, didn't ya?
Our budget, our budget!
I see. So you're dead set on not giving us a budget?
Who might you be?
What?!
Sorry, President. This is the infamous Yamada.
He's participating in Supernatural Studies Club activities with me right now.
Oh, right, right. I see!
You totally don't remember, huh?
What's going on?! He hasn't been listening to us at all this whole time!
Our president has an unparalleled love for women. He's completely indifferent to men.
Wh-What the heck's with that?
When Ito-san came here, he most likely subjected her to pointless banter
then finally turned her down.
Huh? I'm surprised a guy like that managed to become student council president.
Our student council personnel are appointed by their predecessors.
I see. Got it!
Yo, President!
If you're sayin' you can't remember my name,
I'll just have to make you remember it right here and now.
He must be shaking in his boots.
Indeed. I'll remember it.
Y-Yeah! You better!
By the way, Suzuki-kun.
It's not Suzuki, it's Yamada!
Did you have some business with me?
Supernatural Studies Club
Damn him!
I'll definitely make that bastard pay!
I told you, didn't I?
We should just settle down and give up.
No, not yet.
I've still got a plan!
H-Hey! What the heck's this about?
I'm Miyamura, Urara-chan is Yamada,
Yamada is Urara-chan, and Miyamura is me?
What in the world are you planning to do?!
That's obvious! This time I'm gonna go negotiate with that guy in this body!
That's a good idea! For Yamada anyway.
What'd you say?!
But it was no use, even when I went.
Your moron! Women don't understand the inner workings of a man's heart!
Let's go, Miyamura!
Student Council Room
Excuse us!
Good afternoon! I'm Shiraishi Urara from the Supernatural Studies Club!
And likewise, I'm Ito Miyabi!
We've both come to negotiate the budget for our club!
What's this? I wondered who had come to see me...
It's just you again, Yamada-kun?
Oh, dear. That's not right!
Huh?!
What did you say?!
You knew we switched bodies?!
Well, that's how it would turn out!
Right, Miyamura-kun?
You figured me out, too?
I had my theories, but I guess earlier was what confirmed it.
I mean, you two don't smell like women at all.
You can't fool my nose!
And yet he's actually addressing us quite a bit this time around.
It doesn't look like the fact
we're men inside matters as long as we're women on the outside.
By the way, do you have some business with me?
Like we said, we came to negotiate the club budget!
I see.
Sure, I'll give you a budget.
Huh?!
However, only if you can solve a little problem for the student council.
They sure are late. I wonder what they're up to?
You're not curious, Urara-chan?
Not really.
It's quite the cause for concern.
The top student at our Suzaku High School, Shiraishi Urara,
isn't aspiring for higher education.
You could even call it a loss for our entire school.
So you say, but she's probably got, like, a lot going on at home.
By the way, her guardians also wish for her to go to college.
So basically, that means she personally doesn't want to go?
Exactly.
Hence, I want you to investigate why she refuses to pursue college
and somehow persuade her.
Hey, you're the student council president, why don't you persuade her?!
Won't Shiraishi be more likely to listen if you do the talking?
I don't mind negotiating with her,
but there are certain circumstances which put it beyond my control.
B-Beyond your control?
How about it?
Simple enough given your and Shiraishi-kun's relationship, isn't it?
I don't mind exercising my right as president to splurge on your budget, either.
What do you think of my proposal?
Will you accept? Or won't you?
No way.
Wh-Why?! You're smart, aren't you?
It's such a waste!
Because I don't feel the need to go to college. I can study on my own.
No use, huh?
Wait a minute, Urara-chan!
If you refuse, what will happen to our budget?
I'm sorry. I do feel bad about doing this to you, Ito-san.
Wait!
Shiraishi's more stubborn than she looks.
Yeah.
Maybe it's hopeless after all.
Yeah.
Well, it's not like we can push her into it.
Yeah.
Hey, are you listening?
Will we get hot and steamy yakisoba bread,
or be stuck with cold and chilly yakisoba bread?
This is important!
I know already.
Oh my, whatever could the Supernatural Studies Club be doing,
leaving their clubroom unattended?
Odagiri!
It's been a long time, Yamada-kun.
Y-You're... Ushio?!
I've heard you two know each other.
I'm surprised. I never thought you'd lower yourself to being Miyamura's dog.
Who're you calling a dog?!
I'll give you some advice.
Odagiri Nene is going to be student council president next term.
Not Miyamura.
Play around using your worthless club activities as a pretext while you still can.
Let's go, Ushio-kun.
Yeah.
Wh-What's with those two? Yamada!
You know Igarashi Ushio?
Yeah, kind of.
And what's with Odagiri Nene?
She's vice president of the same student council as you, isn't she Miyamura?
So what's with her attitude?
What is it? Say it.
She's competing with me for the position of student council president next term.
Competing?
I thought you said the student council is designated entirely by their predecessors?
Yeah. If I can get Shiraishi Urara to go to college, I clear my mission.
And if I don't, the odds I'll become president become very low.
What'd you say? That doesn't...
It's true.
Wait up.
So that means I'm trying to get Shiraishi to go to college to score you points?
Me Miyamura
Odagiri Ushio (subordinate)
Current Incident
That's terrible! How could you pull a trick like that?!
Y-You could say that, but you could also say I'm not...
Which is it?!
I want Shiraishi to go to college, both as part as the student council's mission,
and as a friend in the same Supernatural Studies Club!
Miyamura's a surprisingly passionate guy, huh?
Besides, Yamada, you'll get a microwave out of it!
Microwave!
It's a dream come true for everyone involved!
No! I refuse after all!
Spare me from getting dragged into your student council dispute!
Yama—
Wait!
Yamada. You've got no choice but to do what he says.
Huh? What do you mean?
Our president is as sly a fox as they come.
Accepting would be in your best interests. Or else...
What?
If he uses his authority as the student council president,
there's nothing he can't do.
He could even decide to abolish the club.
Fine, then.
In that case, I'll play the president's little game!
So as it relates to this problem,
I believe this is a familiar equation to all of you.
Or so I said, but Shiraishi herself said she didn't want to go...
If we use the "πr" from the "πr squared" from some time ago—
Stand!
Wonder what I should do?
Bow!
Yamada-kun.
I need to talk to you.
Supernatural Studies Club
Yamada-kun, I want you to switch bodies with me.
I-I don't really mind, I guess.
Wh-What's with Shiraishi? Why is her face so flushed?
Huh? Shiraishi-san caught a cold?
Yeah. I thought she was acting funny,
but once we switched bodies, I wound up in this mess.
Oh, no. You have a fever, don't you?
Not to mention she said she had something to take care of
and disappeared just like that. She conned me good—
All right.
I'll nurse you back to health!
S-Stop it...
Hey, what are you doing?
Wouldn't it be better if you hurried and turned back to normal?
N-No, not happening. If I'm in poor health, I can skip classes unashamed!
How much are you putting yourself in harm's way just to skip classes?
Then I'll sleep with you and keep you warm.
You bastard, knock it off already!
I wonder why Urara-chan came to school when she's in such bad shape?
You've got a point.
What do you mean? You can't tell?
The reason she came to school was obviously
so she could switch bodies with me and study!
I see! I never thought of using body switching for that!
That's our Urara-chan!
Why don't you guys worry about me a little bit!
You should go home.
Huh? There's nobody home at my place in the afternoon.
Not your home, Yamada.
This is our chance.
It looks like an ordinary home, huh?
Y-You're seriously gonna trespass as you please?
If we run into someone, I'll pose as your boyfriend.
And I'm your kind classmate!
Actually, I'll be fine on my own as long as I explain I went home early with a cold!
All right, it's open.
Let's go!
Hey, you guys aren't listening to me at all!
I-I'm home...
It doesn't sound like anyone's home?
It kind of feels...
Like an ordinary home, doesn't it?
Urara's Room
Oh!
She has an unexpectedly cute room, huh?
I thought it'd be more honor student-y than this.
Just to put it out there, absolutely do not snoop through anything, okay?
Yeah, I spy "E's"!
That isn't clever at all!
This is nice.
Ito! You, too?
Hm?
You call this "nice"?
We can't afford to overlook any information no matter how small.
You two get out already!
I'll do it myself!
Urara's Room
Crap, my fever's gone up.
It smells like Shiraishi...
Hey, Yamada-kun.
What's the meaning of this? Why did you go home without saying anything?
Huh? Well, because you forced your cold-infected body on me, of course!
I just borrowed your body for a little bit
because I had something to turn in to the teacher!
Th-Then tell me that from the start!
I told you to wait a minute for me, didn't I?!
What part of that was "a minute"?!
If that's how it was, you could have gone in your own body!
If I had done that, the teacher would have found out I had a cold!
And when you were found out, he would've told you to go home.
Never mind! Hurry and turn back to normal!
I wonder if they're all right?
Urara-chan looked angry, though.
Man, that was a shock.
I can't believe you want to study so bad you'd do all that.
Is going to lessons that important?
If classes are so important, you should just go to college, too.
That's not it.
I have nothing else to do but study, that's all.
Whether I'm at school or at home, I'm alone either way.
I want to get some sleep, so you go home.
I'm sorry I went home today without asking.
You know, I regretted going to this high school.
I thought, "What a dull place."
But lately, I've started to think it might be kind of amusing.
I wonder if college would be amusing, too?
Well, not that it matters.
Shiraishi.
I'll try setting my sights on college,
so why don't you go with me?
Sure.
Student Council Room
Did you say Shiraishi Urara is planning to go to college now?!
Yeah.
That's incredible!
Looks like Toranosuke-kun's stock is on the rise.
But how?
Not telling!
It's done!
What happened?
Isn't it because you cooked it sealed in the wrapper?
You overcooked it.
It's hard as a rock.
By the way, where's Yamada?
He's not here after we got the microwave he so dearly desired?
M-My yakisoba bread!
Oh, no! Hold on, I'll get a cup—
If you're that sick, then don't come to school!
Seriously!
Ito-san, Ito-san, hurry and switch bodies!
Huh? What?!
Hurry and switch!
Never mind, just hurry!
Hey, Yamazaki!
You did well to come here, Yamada-kun.
What was this "something important" you wanted to talk about?
Next time on Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches:
"It looks like I've fallen for Yamada!"
What're you talking about?!
Will you accept this profession of love? Or won't you?
There's no way I'd accept!
