It's summer!
It's the beach!
Episode 6 "Respond!"
It's a summer retreat at the club house!
Yahoo!
This is what I came to see!
So this is how cold ocean water is?
Urara-chan!
Yay, you're soaking wet!
And it's saltier than I expected, too.
Heave-ho!
Miyamura!
Come to think of it, have you seen Yamada?
Hey, you're right.
Oh, if you're looking for Yamada-kun...
I've got supplementary exams and lessons this year, too?
I'm sure they're all having a blast at the beach right about now...
I can't even watch anime because of summer school...
The survival game is postponed, too.
Hey, you guys.
Yamada's here again!
I-It's not like we're here because we want to be either!
What the heck, all the same people as last year?
Guess there's no helping you guys! They do say there's no cure for stupid!
I-I don't want to hear that from you! I-Isn't that right, Otsuka-san?
They're all boring as ever.
All right, I'll now be handing back today's exam answer sheets.
You all failed. Be sure to try your hardest tomorrow.
Wh-What's going to become of my summer vacation?
I mean, my real reason for coming here in the first place was...
No!
Wh-What're you guys doing?!
Where's the second volume of the notebook?
Did you just ignore the legend of the witches?!
The Seven Wonders of Suzaku High School
Volume One
It's great that we realized the Supernatural Studies clubroom
The Legend of the Witches
was at the club house and set ourselves up to go on the summer retreat, but...
(1) The Power to Charm (2) The Power of Telepathy The rest, to be continued in "Volume Two."
The truth is, we can't get into that room yet.
Huh?
By the sounds of it, the teacher with the key hasn't shown up.
Supplementary exams won't end and we can't find the second volume of the notebook!
My summer retreat is turning out the worst way possible!
Yamada-kun.
What is it?
I'll switch bodies with you tomorrow.
All right! It's the beach!
'Kay, I'm gonna dive in for a bit!
Go!
Honestly, that Yamada...
But I wonder why Urara-chan said she'd switch bodies with him?
That's obvious.
Because it's boring without him around.
Crap! My swimsuit got washed away!
What?! Let me see!
No, look for my swimsuit!
I see.
If we don't pass these supplementary exams...
It's going to turn into another summer vacation immersed in homework!
Hey, Kameda-kun.
Uh, yes?!
Which formula do you apply to this problem?
L-Let me see, um, uh...
N-N-Number three...
Yes, very good!
So then, who can solve the next applied problem?
Y-Yamada-kun.
x = 5/6π. y = π/6.
C-Correct!
What's with Yamada today?
I-Is he cheating or something?
Still, I'm surprised.
Yamada was very on the ball today!
Wh-What should we do? Shall we try to add him to our ranks?
We're depending on you, Otsuka-san.
It's already time for dinner. Aren't you going to go eat something?
I see.
Um!
W-Would you...
...like to be friends?
Huh?
No, um... I'm trying to say...
Since we're supplementary lesson buddies, uh...
Sure.
Later then, okay?
W-Wait! Please.
This is... a symbol of our friendship.
Huh?
So what's the big idea insisting on switching back when
I've still got exams after this?
Hey, Shiraishi.
Say, Yamada-kun. What sort of relationship do you have with Otsuka Meiko-san?
What do you mean?
We both took part in the same supplementary lessons last year, but that's about it.
She's in the same class as us. She's from the manga research club, if I recall correctly.
Yeah. She's a patron of the list of students with low grades right alongside Yamada.
So did something happen with Otsuka?
Yamada-kun, have you kissed her?
Huh? O-Of course I haven't!
I see. There's probably no mistaking it, then.
Otsuka Meiko is a witch.
Huh?
She kissed me out of the blue.
This is stereotypical witch behavior.
Also, I didn't switch bodies with her even though she kissed me.
I see! So there's no effect even if two witches kiss each other!
It doesn't seem like there's any doubt that Otsuka is a witch, but what's her power?
I don't know.
But what is for sure is that you're the one she's after, Yamada-kun.
That's why I had you switch back to normal.
As long as we don't know her intentions, I have no way of dealing with her.
Maybe so, but what am I gonna do about my test later?!
Pass it on your own.
No way!
Farewell, Yamada.
For all eternity...
Hey, screw you guys!
And my exams were supposed to be all over today, too...
If Otsuka is a witch, then what sort of power was she trying to cast on me?
U-Um...
I'm sorry for surprising you before.
Huh?
I-I mean, about me k-kissing you, um...
Doesn't she realize her power didn't work on me?
A-Anyway, please don't be surprised about what's going to happen next.
Huh?
Let's overcome the supplementary exams together.
What does she mean, "together"?
That's strange. Aren't they just solving problems like usual?
Class 2-B Name Yamada Ryu [2] Find the area S for the sections enclosed by the following curves or straight lines.
Damn! I can't pass without a score of 80 or better!
That hurdle's way too frickin' high!
Looks like it was no good on their end, either.
Hey, Otsuka.
What did you do to me?
Never mind!
Wait. What is it you're after?
Y-You're like an entirely different person from before.
Please forget about what happened today!
What in the world's up with her?
Huh?! Why the hell are you guys here?!
That's what we should be saying.
You've got some nerve, beating us to the punch.
Not at all.
You think you can act innocent by doing that?!
I'm sure you and Odagiri-san came here to find volume two of the notebook,
but the clubroom isn't open yet.
Yes, we know. The clubroom won't be open until the extra lessons are over, right?
Huh?!
It looks like the replacement for the supplementary lessons teacher
is the one with the key!
Which means...
We won't be able to get our hands on the second volume of the notebook
until everyone in the class passes their exams?!
That's how it looks.
In that case, everyone should just switch bodies with Shiraishi-san and cheat.
There's no way we can kiss right in front of the teacher!
Wait.
Now that you mention it,
Otsuka said something like, "Let's overcome the supplementary exams together,"
right before the test.
For her to suddenly say something like that,
does that mean it has something to do with her power?
In other words, you can clear the exams if we use Otsuka-san's power?
Uh, well, we don't know that.
But it sounds like it's worth testing out.
D-Don't tell me...
Yes. This time you should kiss Otsuka-san yourself.
Saying it's to get Otsuka-san to agree to a kiss is fine but...
What's the deal with telling me to go take a bath in her place?!
And telling me to wash her body thoroughly, too!
Oh, you're in here, too, Shiraishi-san?
Wh-Why is Odagiri here?!
We're in the same room, so you could have invited me.
A little skinship isn't so bad between witches, huh?
Hey, what's with you?
O-Oh, no! I've got to wash up!
I'm getting out first!
Wait just a second!
Don't tell me... you're Yamada?
No!
Men Women
You're the worst!
I couldn't help it! The one Otsuka kissed was Shiraishi in my body!
She said it'd be way easier for her to get Otsuka to promise to kiss me!
You idiot!
Moron! Perv!
Hey.
Otsuka-san said she would kiss you!
Really?
Yes.
After we switch back, hurry behind the entryway.
Y-Yeah.
I would like for this to be the last time.
If nothing happens, that goes for that talk about us being friends, too...
Yeah, I know.
Now Otsuka's power will become clear at last!
Strange. I kissed Yamada but nothing's happening.
Yeah, me either.
What in the heck's going on?
You really did kiss Otsuka-san, didn't you?
Keep your promise!
Just how little confidence do you have in me?!
Well, it could be like Odagiri-san's charm power
and start to take effect gradually after the fact.
Which would mean doing this won't do us any good.
Guess I'll just wait in the girls' room!
Me, too.
Me, as well.
Hey, that's my futon!
You boys go back to your own room!
Respond!
Shut up, Miyamura.
Can you hear me? Respond!
I told you to shut it.
Respond!
No, this is a woman's voice!
This is Otsuka. Respond!
Otsuka is...
What's up with Otsuka?
She's not here?
Sure you weren't just dreaming?
No, I'm positive I just heard her voice!
This voice is being projected directly into your mind.
This is my power: telepathy!
Telepathy?
If you can hear this, then report for training tomorrow morning at six o' clock!
Be sure to come to the back of the entryway, and don't be late! That is all!
Huh? What're you talking about?
I get it! Otsuka's power was the power of telepathy!
(1) The Power to Charm (2) The Power of Telepathy The rest, to be continued in "Volume Two."
I came, just like you told me.
Th-Thank goodness. You heard my voice, right?
Y'know...
But you were ten minutes late!
Are you underestimating me, Trainee Yamada?!
Huh?
What's with that reply? Salute!
S-Salute?
Are you screwing with me, punk?
Did you forget everything after sleeping it off for a night?! Huh?!
What's going on?
And what the hell? Her personality totally changes when she uses telepathy?!
W-Well, then. Let us begin your training.
Oh, I knew it.
This power works with whoever I kiss...
In other words, you can send messages to me, too.
Yamada-san, please turn around.
Like this?
Yes. Next, picture my face in your mind.
Hello
There's so much noise I can't understand you!
What's with that?!
An ample imagination is indispensable to use this power!
Good Morning
Goodbye
Now, Trainee Yamada! Take another good look at my face one more time!
Good night
Concentrate harder!
Are you trying to give me another nosebleed? Huh?!
Why can't you do it?!
I don't know! You trying to say my imagination's lacking or something?!
If you get it, then fix it right away!
Damn. This power's not so easy to use.
Even once I'm able to do it, how will this help us pass the exams?!
You look like you're having trouble, Trainee Yamada!
Huh?
Wh-Why can I hear your voice, too?
It sounds like you haven't realized just how incredible this power is yet.
Once you've been kissed by Commander Meiko,
you can share this power with everyone through her!
I-In other words, if any one of us figures out the answers,
we can all cheat as much as we want?!
That is correct!
In that case, this is one sweet power!
Wait, but who's going to get those answers ready?
W-Well that is obvious. You will get the answers for us.
Huh?
You can't fool our eyes.
The truth is, you're actually quite studious, aren't you?
Yamada-san! Let's work hard together!
So basically, now that I've mastered telepathy,
I've got to prepare the answers to the exams, too!
And just when we finally figured out what Otsuka's power is...
Stop being disappointed, and think of something!
Boobs.
Huh?
Boobs. Boobs.
Boobs!
M-Miyamura successfully mastered telepathy super easily!
Huh?!
Hey, Miyamura! Teach me the trick, too!
You just have to picture the other person's face in your mind.
I'm having trouble because I can't do that!
But couldn't you pass the exam if you two are able to telepathically communicate?
What? Really?
Guess there's no choice. I'll give these to you.
To Yamada
What's this?
Okay, begin today's exam!
Yamada
Why does Miyamura have these photos?
There's no photo I can't get my hands on.
What's this about a photo, Trainee Yamada?
Oh, huh, could it be?
All right!
There's no time to get all excited!
Yeah, let's get on with question one...
Problem 1 Consider the line x-y+3=0
Consider the line x-y+3=0...
Boobs.
Hey, let me talk to him, too!
Oh, shut up!
Actually, once I pass along the question, Shiraishi answers it on her end,
Boobs.
then Miyamura sends me back the answer...
What's wrong, Yamada?
Any way you look at it, there's not enough time!
You dunce! Hurry up and tell us!
Hey, Otsuka. Willing to bet on the last five minutes?
What do you mean?
If I do this after every single problem, we won't make it in time!
Math II Question Sheet 3 For Supplementary Lessons
I'll get the answers for all the questions first,
then send them all to you in the last five minutes!
Not that I can guarantee we'll make it in time!
Hm, interesting. We'll trust you!
All right!
I'll now be announcing the results of the exam.
Wow!
All right! We passed!
Well done, Private Yamada!
P-Private?
What's with that salute?!
Looks like he passed somehow.
All he did was cheat though.
Oh, don't say that.
He used a power, but he still overcame it on his own.
That's a big step forward for Yamada, isn't it?
Well, anyway, now the Supernatural Studies clubroom will finally be opened.
Yeah, that's right.
Let's open it up.
Th-There's nothing here!
This shouldn't be! This was supposed to be a storage room!
That's why I told you...
I told you if you were looking for something, there's nothing here.
Sensei!
Other clubs have used this place, so everything that was here got thrown out.
Thrown out?!
Then what about the second volume of the notebook?!
Well, it's not like we came fully convinced it'd be here to begin with.
Yeah. It's a little unfortunate, but we learned about Otsuka-san,
and most importantly, it was a fun summer retreat.
Shiraishi...
Yeah, I guess that's true! And it's not over yet!
Huh? The exams are over.
This is the last day of the summer retreat!
We've got to enjoy ourselves until the very end!
Y-Yeah! That's right!
Miyamura, I'll ask you directly.
Who do you think had everything in this room cleared out?
The only one who could do this...
Wh-What?
Oh, hey!
Only the president could do that.
Time for fireworks!
Hey, Miyamura. Go fetch some water for the bucket.
Why don't you do it?
Hey, Yamada-kun.
KA-BANG CANNON
I'd like you to light this.
No! That's dangerous, so let's not!
You know, Shiraishi...
What?
Now that I've gotten to know Otsuka, there's something I'm convinced of.
You were unhappy with the situation you were put in
and have the power to switch bodies.
Odagiri wanted to gather allies to become student council president
and has the power to charm.
Otsuka was bad at talking to people and got the power of telepathy.
The witches' powers are something they obtained because they wished for them!
Yes. That may be so.
In that case, what did I wish for?
You wished for something, too?
I don't know, but I'm sure I'll find the answer if I meet all the witches.
That's why I've decided to search for them!
I want to know why I got this power.
Yamada-kun...
Yes. I want to know why, too!
Yeesh, what're you two doing?
You two planning to set out into the nighttime city by yourselves?
N-No!
Uncooperative to the very end. Seriously.
You said it.
Forget that! I'm gonna tell you guys some incredible news Otsuka told me!
What? You're just Yamada, but you're acting so important!
The next witch... I know who it is!
What?!
What in the world is going on?
Commander?
What is it?
Our dinner... is tempura!
Next time on Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches: "Anything but Tempura!"
Hey, punks. Go buy some curry rice!
Why?
The commander has gone mad!
