One week after the summer retreat in the very middle of summer vacation.
An outrageous incident has occurred.
So this is Sarushima-san's place?
Episode 7 "Anything But Tempura!"
Yeah. I've come here a few times with the guys from the student council,
but I've never even seen her face.
What?
She's such an intense shut-in, that we don't even know what to do with her.
A shut-in?!
There's no mistaking it. It's most likely due to a witch power.
Apparently Odagiri's group is already collecting information on Sarushima.
They're gonna beat us to the punch! What'll we do, Miyamura?!
Well, calm down.
An idea just hit me!
We force our way in!
Calm down, Yamada!
Hi, guys. What are you doing?
S-Sarushima!
Huh, this girl is...?
Wh-What about her is a shut-in?
Oh, right! I've got something I'd love for you to pitch in and help with!
Hey, why do we have to rearrange her room for her?!
There's no way around it.
If this goes well we might be able to get Sarushima to tell us about her power.
You help out, too, then!
Gotcha, gotcha.
Oh, these are nice!
What incredible dimensions!
Help me out, damn it!
Hey, Sarushima. We're done—
Why the hell are you sleeping?!
I'm out of here!
Hey, stop right there, Yamada-kun.
C'mon man, what part of this girl's a shut-in?!
What could she possibly be worried about enough to become a witch?!
No clue on that one, but anyway you look at it, this is probably your best chance.
Chance?
Kiss her.
N-No, I can't just do that!
You worked more than enough. I'd say one little kiss is a hell of a deal.
You think?
You know it!
If that's how it's got to be, guess I have no choice.
Don't hate me for this.
Me...
Save me, Yamada...
Miyamura, could you head back first?
What?
Please.
Sorry for pushing you around earlier.
Yeah, so what did you mean when you said "save me"?
The truth is, I knew.
Knew what?
I've known for ages now that you would come here.
Huh? Did someone tell you?
That's not it.
I can see the future!
You can see the future?
Yeah.
I-Is your head working right?
I suppose it makes sense that you don't believe me!
But I have to get you to believe—
No, you have no choice but to believe me.
Wh-What do you mean?
Yeah. The futures I saw at first were trivial.
Study Hall
That next period would be a study hall, or that there would be a pop quiz...
Then one day just like that, I saw a frightening future.
A future where the old school building was on fire.
And a future where I was the offender.
Awful girl!
Some nerve, showing up here.
Look, she's the one...
Believe me! It wasn't me!
They say she's the one who set that fire yesterday.
That's why I stopped going to school,
because I didn't think anyone would believe me even if I told them.
And that's when you started being a shut-in?
But Sarushima, why do I have to believe your story?
About that... That's because you were there at the scene of the fire, too.
You end up being treated like the culprit alongside me!
Huh? Why does that happen?!
Oh, no. I want to know, too!
Y-Yeah, I'm sure you do.
But this has made things clear to me.
One of the reasons I stopped going to school
was so that I wouldn't make contact with you.
But I still met you, just like I saw in my vision.
Sh-Should I say "sorry" in this situation?
Uh-uh. I'm the one who should apologize.
I thought, by some chance, something might change if I met you,
but the future doesn't change so easily.
Hey, Sarushima.
Give me a kiss.
Huh?! Are you telling me to pay for dragging you into this with my body?!
Nobody's saying that!
There's a reason for this!
A-Anyway, I believe this is the only way for us to find the real culprit!
Okay.
Huh?
I don't mind if it's you, Yamada.
After all, you're my last hope.
She didn't need to French me, too, did she?
Ow!
You impudent fool, listen up!
Ahem!
So basically, there's no doubt that Sarushima Maria is a witch!
No surprise, you can't hide your shock, can you?
To be honest, I've also got a general idea of what her power is,
but I have no obligation to tell you all that.
If you rely on me, this much is a piece of cake!
Oh!
No!
Why just me?
Whoa, that's awesome Yamada!
So this is what you meant when you said Odagiri-san would hit you?
Seeing visions of the future is a remarkable power!
Ow. Now we know that Sarushima is a witch who can predict the future.
So, now comes the real challenge.
First, take a look at this.
Master artist Yamada's work really bursts off the page.
You didn't seriously see an image like this, did you?
Of course not! The actual vision is much more realistic!
Forget that, the fact the old school building catches fire
and Sarushima and I are the culprits is the important part!
That certainly is serious.
Right? Now that we know we can see the future,
it'll be awful if we don't track down the real culprit!
Say, Yamada-kun.
Could you tell me about the vision you saw when you kissed Miyamura-kun
earlier one more time?
Let's see.
You and Ito were looking down at me,
and there was a distinct slap mark on my cheek.
Yes, which means you could see yourself, right?
Yeah. The picture's like that, too.
So this is Yamada.
Who did you think it was?!
So, was Miyamura-kun in the vision?
Now that you mention it, he didn't seem to be.
So that is how it works.
Huh?
Miyamura-kun himself wasn't present in the premonition you saw when you kissed him.
What does that mean?
Could it have been from Miyamura-kun's point of view?
His point of view?
I see now.
In other words,
it's a power where you see your own future from your partner's point of view.
Oh, I get it now!
You totally don't get it, do you?
Take another close look at this picture.
Since you and Sarushima-san are pictured here...
Oh! So that's it!
Hey, Yamada. Where are you going?
There was somebody else at the scene of the fire?
That's right. Does anyone come to mind that you've kissed?
Well, someone does, but...
Oh!
You might say it's a little difficult to talk about.
It's a male friend of mine.
A-A male friend?
But trust me! It's not like I have romantic feelings for him!
We both returned from abroad and just happened to get along because of it.
Wh-Why're you making excuses?
Tell me his name and where I can find him.
Y-Yeah. But does that mean he's the arsonist?
I dunno about that, but I do believe it means he's involved in the fire for sure.
I suppose so.
I'll go find him. Don't take one step out of this house!
Yeah, I know. You be careful, too, Yamada.
But if the future comes to pass because he and Yamada meet...
Tsubaki Kentaro, huh?
Sweet, you can do somethin' like that?!
Don't underestimate a true punk, you lot!
I don't care if he's a punk, I just gotta aim to be the best at the game!
Damn!
Aw, damn it!
That's him!
Hey, you're Tsubaki Kentaro from class D, right?
I lost again!
One more match!
Hey, punk. You listening to me?
Oh, shut up! You're in my way!
At least hear me out, Tsubaki!
What the heck, you're Yamada from class B, aren't ya?
What do you need from me?
Like I said, I've got something I wanna ask you!
There's something I want to ask you, too!
Huh?
You're in love with Shiraishi?!
Yeah! I'm a returnee, right?
So people fuss all over me,
but Shiraishi-san won't give me the time of day!
Huh?
It's super refreshing. It makes me happy!
I've been head over heels for Shiraishi-san pretty much ever since.
You're a bit strange, you know that?
So, I'm going to tell Shiraishi-san how I feel!
Huh?!
Could you call Shiraishi-san out to the courtyard at school tomorrow?
Hey! Tomorrow's way too soon, isn't it?
Is this guy serious?
I can't imagine Shiraishi will give him the okay, but...
G-Got it.
Oh, really?! You're such a nice guy Yamada!
But, man, is this guy really gonna set fire to the old school building?
And for you Yamada...
I'd like to demonstrate the ace up my sleeve.
Whenever I'm feeling down or wanna lift my spirits,
there's something I've absolutely got to do.
This way.
Hey, this is the old school building! The place the fire is going to take place!
Wait just a second.
Culinary Room
The culinary room?
What?!
He's the guy! He's got to be!
All done. The symbol of our friendship!
This is totally what's gonna set the place on fire!
Not going to eat?
The fire is today?
Yeah!
You ended up coming to school?!
That's right! The teacher told me I had to attend tomorrow or else!
Yamada-kun, Sarushima-san, as well as Tsubaki-kun.
All three will gather at the school today.
We've got to stop Tsubaki from cooking his tempura, no matter what it takes!
What the heck does he fry tempura when he's depressed for anyway?
But Yamada, remember the slap from Odagiri yesterday.
You knew about it in advance, so why couldn't you dodge it?
Can you really change the future you see?
I-If it's come to this, we've just got to give it a shot!
Wh-What're you going to do, Yamada?
Oh, if it isn't Yamada!
What happened? Shiraishi-san didn't show up on time.
What the heck? D-Don't tell me!
Was I rejected without even getting to confess my feelings?!
No, it's not that.
Then what's going on?! Why did you show up in Shiraishi-san's place?
Calm down, Tsubaki.
I'm going to explain, so I'd like you to listen closely.
Give me a kiss.
I see. So I was rejected, and you're trying to cheer me up with that joke.
It's no joke!
I'm serious!
Huh?
I'd like you to respond to Yamada's feelings.
The way you say it's completely misleading!
I see. I never would've thought Yamada was...
It doesn't matter anymore.
If I switch bodies with this guy and keep away from the old school building,
the fire shouldn't happen.
Sorry, but I can't do it!
Huh?
I'm devoted to Shiraishi-san. Sorry, man.
Don't worry about it!
Don't make it sound like I was dumped!
Oh, man! If it's come to this, I'll do it by force!
Here we go, Miyamura!
Yeah!
Now, Yamada!
Sorry, Tsubaki. There's a good reason for this.
This guy!
He's crazy strong!
Do it to me if you can!
Welcome back!
That was fast.
I never would have thought Tsubaki was that strong.
So it didn't go well after all.
What do you mean "after all"?
I knew you guys would come back all worn out.
I kissed Ito-san!
S-Sarushima?!
I heard everything from Urara-chan.
About what's happened so far, and about the witches.
Wha?
And here I seriously thought you were working hard all on your own, Yamada.
N-No, I mean...
Why didn't you tell me you had all these friends?
You're a super optimistic woman, aren't you?
But what should we do? You couldn't switch bodies with Tsubaki, right?
Yeah, if it's come to this...
Our only choice is for Shiraishi to accept his confession.
No, in that case I've got a better way.
Sorry! Tsubaki-kun, did I keep you waiting?
Sh-Shiraishi-san!
N-No, not at all! I just got here, too!
You liar.
I heard from Yamada-kun that you wanted to talk to me about something?
Y-Yeah, Shiraishi-san.
A-Actually, I've always felt this way about y—
Wait a sec!
First, would you listen to a request of mine?
Huh?
I'd like you to go shopping with me after this.
There is a clock in view in Miyabi-chan's vision.
That's the time the fire will occur.
In other words,
we're in the clear as long as Yamada can keep Tsubaki busy until then.
Tsubaki! H-How will you answer?
Sure!
All right! He's in!
Okay, let's go right away, then!
Yeah!
Now the future should change!
We can't talk very well like this, can we?
Y-Yeah.
All right. Even Tsubaki shouldn't be able to confess his love in a place like this.
This is working out!
If we just hang around here for another hour or so...
Sarushima Maria Incoming Call...
Oh, another phone call.
No good! Not only did the future change, it's getting worse!
What?!
Now Miyabi-chan, who should have been watching from the clubroom,
is in front of the old school building, too!
Huh?
What in the world are you doing?
Sorry, I'll call you back.
Hello?
I heard the situation.
Hey, Miyamura! What should I do?
This will do.
Huh?
For now, we know the future has changed.
It could be the influence of you two changing bodies.
Oh, you might be right.
At this point we have no choice. We'll have to use our last resort.
If we can't prevent the confession from happening, we've got to postpone it!
Huh, you're going home?
I'm sorry. I've been getting lots of calls since earlier, right?
Something urgent has come up.
Uh, but I haven't gotten to tell you anything yet—
Could we meet up and talk again tomorrow?
Please! Let this work!
Thank goodness! I can see you again tomorrow.
Good! Don't get depressed!
Yeah. Okay, I'm in a hurry!
Hey, wait, Shiraishi-san!
How about now, Miyamura?!
Are you stupid? Get away from there right this second!
What's with this super romantic spot?
Shiraishi-san!
I can't wait until tomorrow.
I love you!
Why? Why did it turn out like this?!
Understood.
I want you to go out with me!
What do I do?
Now that this has happened, I feel bad for Shiraishi, but...
Yeah, I kno—
Could you wait just a second?
Hey, Shira— I mean, Yamada!
Huh? No, why did you show up now?!
This is how it is.
Huh?
This is what our relationship is like.
W-Wait, Tsubaki!
Damn it, Shiraishi! What're you trying to accomplish?
We were out of options.
Huh? I don't follow!
Where are you going, Yamada?
That's obvious! To switch bodies!
Come on! Open up, Tsubaki!
Shut up, Yamada! I don't trust anyone anymore!
Shiraishi-san totally seduced me then dumped me!
And I thought we were best buddies, but you betrayed me, too!
I'm trying to tell you, there's a reason for this!
Shut up!
You locked it!
I'm begging you, anything but the tempura!
Yamada-kun!
Get away from here!
Sh-Shiraishi!
Shiraishi-san?
The time the fire is supposed to happen has passed.
W-We did it.
Yeah! We saved everyone's futures!
All right!
Thank goodness!
Whoa. So Yamada and I switched bodies because of witch powers?
Yeah, that's right.
Sweet!
C'mon then, let me join the Supernatural Studies Club, too!
Huh?!
How did it work out that way?!
After today's incident, I'm interested in the witches, too!
You're just after Urara-chan, aren't you?
N-No, that's not true!
First and foremost, saying you'll fry up tempura in here isn't going to work out!
L-Like I said, I genuinely...
Say, Yamada.
No means no!
No way!
Could I borrow you for a sec?
You can't!
Thank you, Yamada!
I-I mean, I didn't want to become the culprit either.
You're so shy!
But something is bugging me.
What?
Why did Shiraishi force me to switch bodies?
Oh, she didn't tell you?
Y-Yeah...
I couldn't do it.
Even knowing about the future,
I can't believe she was going to take your place.
Huh?
Yes. You heard from Sarushima, didn't you?
Yeah.
She didn't want you to be the offender.
Thank you.
It was nothing. It's all over now—
Did you really think that's what I was going to say?
Don't ever do something like that ever again!
Yeah!
Wh-Why does she look so happy?
My word, I can't beat that stubbornness of yours.
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
Whoa! I'm officially a member of the Supernatural Studies Club!
Oh, my. You're all here.
Good news. I finally figured out what Sarushima Maria's power is!
So surprised you can't speak? Want me to tell you?
What should I do?
Oh!
N-No!
Come on! Why just me again?!
Morning!
The second term has started!
The cultural festival is right around the corner!
The cultural festival, huh?
Now, then. What should I do for some fun?
Hey, Tsubaki, I want to eat some tempoora.
Wrong!
It's tempura! Te-m-pu-ra!
Please! Tempoora!
Why you...
Next time on Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches: "You're So Annoying."
What's annoying is your "tempoora"!
