Oh. You were right. It's a girl.
Don't you think you should stop doing this sort of thing?
I don't need a backseat driver.
I don't like it.
Because I like you!
No, you don't.
Someone gets up the courage to confess, and you don't believe them.
How twisted can a guy be?
And then to claim I don't really feel that way?
Oh. That was fast.
Did he kick you out?
The girl from before...
I guess Kyou really is done playing with girls.
Huh?
What, he didn't tell you anything?
I don't
want to be alone
I will just obey you
I didn't use
to have a master
I just want to be with you
How can I?
I'll change the whole country
I know I can do it
If we're friends, then we're all free
I'll make us free
Yeah
We're
both liars, calm me down
I'll make it all true, just wait
I'll change this whole country
I know I can do it
If we're friends, then you're free
You'll see
I've found love
Bless my heartfire
What? Was there something else?
What did you mean, you got a dog?
That girl from before told me.
You got a dog, so you're done playing with girls.
She said she just came here to pick something up.
I wish she hadn't said that.
The dog's me, right?
What does it mean that you stopped because of me?
Nothing. I've just gotten numb to it.
Numb? What does that...
How should I know?
Maybe I just picked up some stupid philosophy from you.
What does that mean?
It's not just my imagination.
I really do like you.
You pissed me off, so I considered giving up for a minute,
but I'd never lie about my own feelings, so I won't quit.
Even if you don't believe me now, I'll keep saying it until you do!
I'll keep trying! This isn't over!
I think you mean "This isn't over, sir."
And you don't have to keep trying.
I hate it when you get persistent, so I'll just believe you.
I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.
So?
So what?
What does it mean if you believe me?
What do you mean?
Well, I mean... do you like me or not?
Who knows?
Huh?
If you don't make your feelings clear, I won't know what to do!
Then why not agonize over it?
Why not spend your days in anguish, hanging on my every word and action?
Huh?
Sounds fun, right?
Is that his idea of something to look forward to?
Ang
Daily uish
Chapter 4
Give me a break.
How can you still like him after something like that?
How should I know?! That's what I want someone to tell me!
So what will we do from now on?
If I can't quit, there's just one thing to do.
I've gotta work hard to turn him around!
I'm aiming to become a wolf-free girl!
Erika, you...
You're a masochist, through and through.
Masochist
Can't you praise my determination or something?
But enough about that, San!
Don't pin your hopes on me.
Huh?
I never talk to Sata. I can't help you there.
No way
I don't think I can untangle that twisted guy all by myself.
He's gotta have a weak point somewhere!
Like someone who knows lots of embarrassing stories about him!
Are you planning to blackmail him?
I guess he wouldn't have anyone like that.
Maybe I was hasty in confessing to him.
It's Sata!
I don't know how to face someone so flawless.
Bye bye!
Look out!
Ow...
You could've dodged that.
You okay?
Sorry! I'm the one who kicked that.
Really sorry!
So uncool!
You suck at ball control.
You're crap!
I'm not crap! Don't say that!
I just got too into it.
K-Kyouya! You don't have to go that far.
No.
It's natural to be angry when you see a woman injured.
Now, hit me wherever you want!
How long will you keep this up, Takeru?
Huh?
Oh! Kyouya, it's you!
Took you long enough.
Huh? You know each other?
Well, I really am sorry about before.
I never would've imagined it was your girlfriend I hit.
Girlfriend!
No, she's not my girlfriend.
You've been such a stranger!
When you get a girlfriend, you're supposed to tell your best friend right away!
That hurts, idiot.
You really do have brute strength.
And close your shirt. It's disgusting.
Is this a dream or a hallucination?
Check out my sixpack!
Kyouya's exchanging banter with another guy?
I'm Hibiya Takeru. Pleasure to meet you!
Oh, hey. I'm Shinohara Erika.
Are you two childhood friends?
No, I've known him since middle school.
We still run into each other now and then.
We ended up in different high schools.
I just couldn't stand a school with all guys.
But that's the fun part!
Although, if you'd come to my school, you never would've met your cute girlfriend.
Oh?
I told you, she's not...
If Kyouya ever makes you cry, let me know.
I'll beat his ass.
As usual, he doesn't listen to anyone.
What a nice person!
He might just be the savior I need!
Nature calls.
Sure. Have fun.
Hibiya...
Oh? You can call me Takeru.
Takeru, then.
Could I talk to you about something later?
I see.
I think I get the idea.
Damn Kyouya. I'll bash that pretty face of his!
Huh?!
You can't play with the heart of a person in love!
Be back soon!
I'll beat a change of heart into that—
No! Takeru, wait!
It's not like that.
I don't want you to yell at Kyouya.
Huh?
I'm not trying to fix his warped personality.
No matter what he does or what he's like, I like him.
I just want him to like me the same way.
So... please! Help me out!
Erika, you're such a brave girl!
He's crying?!
Okay, I got it!
I'll help you, Erika!
We'll get a hold of Kyouya's heart for you!
Okay! Thank you!
Alliance Formed
Hey, Kyouya!
Kyouya, which of these do you prefer?
Get that out of my face.
Did you come here this late to ask me stupid questions?
I was thinking about it, and I realized I don't know your type.
I want to know for future reference.
What kind of reference?
Never mind that. Just choose!
Then this one.
I see, the intellectual. Next...
What do you like a girl to do for you?
Now you're in my face. It's annoying.
Got it. You don't like girls who get too close.
Which pose resonates with you the most?
What are you talking about?
I like the third one.
Huh?
Okay, next up! What's your favorite accent?
Satsuma dialect.
Favorite island?
The Galapagos Archipelago.
Favorite electronic gadget?
Cell phone?
Ramen noodles?
Straight.
Favorite muscle? The soleus? The sternomastoid?
Good morning, Kyouya!
First, we'll try Kyouya's favored type: the intellectual!
Roger!
What's with that?
Well, it's a new season, so I thought I'd change my image to something more intellectual.
Oh?
He's taken the bait!
I knew they were fake.
S-So what?
They don't suit you.
What? You piss me off!
I don't want to hear that from you!
Say those words...
one more time.
Please enjoy this metaphorical image
I-It didn't work...
It's fine! Move on to the next one!
Kyouya!
You're late. How long does it take to buy one can of juice—
Kyouya likes it when a girl doesn't try to get close to him.
Seriously?
What are you doing?
I-I just randomly decided to keep my distance.
Oh? So you don't want to get close to me?
What? It's not like that!
Too bad. I really felt like petting a stupid dog's head.
What?! Really?!
Ow! Hey... heavy...
Hey! What about petting my head?
Kyouya!
Not getting close didn't work.
I see. Then it's time for the final challenge...
The all-in!
The all-in?
Kyouya!
O-On th' way home, wouldja mind talkin' with me 'bout cell phone usage in th' Galapagos Archipelago?
Well? Biceps brachii muscle!
Yeah, thought not.
Erika. What are you doing?
Not only does he not like me more, he acted like it was painful to look at me.
So did San.
What went wrong?
Never mind.
We'll just have to try the event I've been keeping up my sleeve!
Event?
Daily Anguish
31st Annual Rikuhoku High School Man Festival
Maid Café - Men & Boys
Welcome home, master!
It's huge.
Hello, you two!
Thanks for coming together!
You bugged us into coming.
What the hell are you wearing?
Isn't it obvious?
It's a maid café!
Haunted House
Oooo....
Our specialty is the haunted house.
Don't miss it, okay?
Oh?
There're meatheads like that here too?
Listen, Erika. Act as scared as you can.
What? You mean, play the fragile type?
I don't think that'll work on Kyouya.
Wrong!
The moment a man falls for a woman is the moment he feels a strong sense of a man's duty!
A man's duty?
When he decides "I must protect this girl,"
that's when he comes to hold her dear, body and soul!
I see!
Don't worry! This'll work!
Yeah! Let's do it!
Oh no! Stay away!
You can see the fishing line.
Those models are moving!
You can see the stage hands.
Even without acting, I'm still pretty scared.
Kyouya! Don't go on without me!
Guess I have no choice. I'll lend you an arm if you want.
What?
No way... Did it work?
Hurry up.
O-Okay.
Thanks...
Lend you an arm
It's a bone!
Kyouya doesn't play fair.
A formidable opponent.
That's my best friend.
This is no time to be admiring him!
I hear you. We'll work it out somehow.
So what should we try next?
You're a good person, Takeru.
To be honest, I never expected you'd go this far for me.
Really?
I did it because you've worked so hard.
When I see you working so hard, it makes me want to root for you.
I love people who work hard like you.
Thanks.
Oh?
Oh, no, I don't mean "love" in that way.
I-It's okay! I got that!
Th-That's right!
Wanna see my abs? I've got a chiseled six-pack!
What? No thanks...
Don't hold back!
Here's one...
Two, three, four, five... six!
You're so funny.
I am?
I feel better now.
Okay, let's think of a new plan!
That's right!
This time you'll bag him for sure!
Yeah!

Final Mission
Kyouya, you are now my puppet.
Huh?! He fell asleep!
Hey.
You think of anything we could try next?
Sorry. Nothing.
Don't apologize. Neither have I.
What to do?
I feel like we've tried so hard and got nothing to show for it.
I'm starting to think Kyouya's out of my grasp.
How can you be so negative?
The battle's just begun!
If you give up, it's over!
I'll stick with you to the end, so let's keep going!
Takeru...
Good point! Like someone once said, "It's not over 'til it's over."
That's right! That's the way!
Yeah. If I have time to be depressed, I have time to...
E-Erika...
Oh?
Oh, sorry. I don't know why I'm crying.
I must seem pathetic to you.
Not at all...
Really?

Kyouya...
What are you doing here?
Takeru told me to come.
What?
Kyouya. Erika.
Sorry to call you out here so late.
It's okay, but what's going on?
What did you have to say?
Kyouya, I'm sorry.
For what?
I've fallen for Erika.
What?
I know how Erika feels.
But she shouldn't be pursuing you so hard that it hurts her.
I would never let her cry.
I'd treasure her.
You mind if I take Erika, Kyouya?
You don't mind, do you?
Answer me, Kyouya!
Do what you want.
You...
I see.
I get it.
If I go away, you won't miss me one bit.
Kyouya, you asshole!
Erika!
You made her cry.
That was you, asshole.
Why did you say that?
You know how she feels!
It's the opposite of what you wanted me to say, right?
What a lousy performance.
What, you knew?
I knew from the start.
All the stuff you planned too.
R-Really? That too?
Now that you know it's impossible, stop helping her. It's pointless.
What do you mean, it's pointless?!
Erika's trying hard to make you like her!
She's trying as hard as she can!
I know that.
If you know, why won't you reciprocate?
Isn't it a man's job to return someone's pure feelings?!
Takeru.
What?
I'll decide when I fall for Erika.
It's also a man's job to keep quiet and watch over things.
Huh?
Why did I just feel a tugging of the heartstrings?
This is hopeless.
My heart's completely broken.
If you're going to let me go that easily, don't say "You belong to me," idiot.
Going to jump in?
Come on. Let's go home.
What are you doing here?
Huh?
You heard what Takeru said.
You can lay off.
You don't care about what I do, anyway.
Is that all your feelings have to offer?
What?
Go ahead. Try to pry open my heart.
That's the only way you'll get me.
What does that mean? How can you be so egotistical?
Well?
What will you do?
I really don't understand you at all.
I guess I'll just have to do what you asked for
and love the hell out of you, you asshole!
You really piss me off!
Yeah, yeah.
Outside I can see the rain puddles
None of that is important for us
I didn't know
I could understand alone
Into this world
light has come
We live a total lie,
but it let me meet you
You influence me
like I'm under a magic spell
We live a total lie,
but it let me fall in love with you
Play around more
with my wolf heart
Don't give peace
to my wolf heart
Um, I appreciate the way you feel, Takeru,
but I really do...
Huh?
Gah! I forgot I confessed!
Huh?! What does that mean?!
The blood of saints and a crown of thorns.
The two colors flood the town.
What will they bring to Kyouya and Erika?
