Ack! The Tower of Bossun!
It's fallen to pieces!
W-W-Who the hell are you?!
I'm from the Student Council!
You?!
The Vice President, Tsubaki Sasuke.
The hardhead who people are talking about that goes around strictly enforcing the school rules.
Hardheaded, you say?
And what does the Vice President want with us?
I have a message for you from the Student Council.
The academy support group, the Sket-dan, will be disbanded after today!
What?
Episode 6: Even Onihime Has Tears in Her Eyes
Huh?
What are you talking about?
You're disbanding the Sket-dan?
Lately, in the name of a "free campus atmosphere",
But, but, but, but...
this academy has allowed silly, pointless clubs to be created.
For example?
The Study of Reactions to Modern Society Association.
The Self-Sufficiency Club for Desert Island Living.
The Rare Beasts at the Ends of the World Hunter X Hunter Club.
Whoa...
You got it rough, Mr. Vice President...
Anyway, these foolish clubs must be dealt with.
Especially those who lie around in their clubrooms building towers of playing cards!
That was the Tower of Bossun!
There is no reason to allow people who spend all day goofing off
to use one of our valuable club rooms!
And we also have complaints that some delinquents
from another school visit and cause trouble!
Momoka has nothing to do with this!
Yeah! They just come to hang out!
Is that right?
I've heard that you rampaged through town under the name "Onihime".
Why, you...
Kibitsu Momoka!
You're sorely mistaken if you think you can just escape from your past so easily!
Hey, that's enough!
You just need to have actual accomplishments, right?
Bossun, don't hit him!
It's true we have some downtime, but there are people who require our help!
Whatever you do, don't...
It'll just make things worse! Are you listening?
Fine, then show me the results of your activity right now.
If you do, then I might perhaps consider to maybe rethink your dissolution.
That's basically a no, damn you!
And how lucky would we have to be for a request to come in right this moment...?
Um...
Speak of the...
Oh? In the middle of something?
Maybe now's a bad...
We're fine, just fine!
We gots a request, so heave-ho!
You!
Everyone counts on the Sket-dan!
You should really stop this.
Wow, it's like a mirroring comedy sketch!
Why are you coming with us?
Same to you!
Yabas!
Will you two please stop fighting over me?
Uh...
And there you go.
Is that acceptable, Lady Unyuu?
Oh? You're not going to use gold leaf?
Great work.
I will handle the cost of this repair personally.
Oh, it's okay. This is just a trifle to someone like me...
Please, paint it normally!
Well, Unyuu is crazy rich, that's true!
Anyway, how did it go with the Sket-dan?
President, well... You see...
There was an accident at the drama troupe my brother belongs to...
Now they can't put on their performance at Manley Preschool.
This is like, real bad, you know?
Yabas!
Oh, no!
I went to that preschool, too, and they look forward to that performance every year!
So, I asked our drama club if they could fill in,
but they said they were too busy with rehearsals.
Understood!
We'll do whatever we can to help!
Why? Because we're the Sket-dan, that's why!
Don't make me laugh!
There is nothing more difficult than putting on a play that grabs the hearts of children!
It's virtually impossible for someone without experience!
However, it is possible for us, the Student Council!
Because we can force the drama club to act!
It is the Student Council who will take on this request!
Huh?!
How far are you going to go to get in our way?!
We're gonna handle it ourselves.
Then we'll split the performance in two.
Our job is to improve campus life for all!
Let's see who the children like best between us!
Interesting.
Sounds like you're on.
If we win, you'll recognize the accomplishments of our club, right?
As you wish.
And I might also perhaps reco...
Not "might, perhaps"... just rethink it, you rotten Student Council!
I see.
So we were basically roped into this.
Why exactly does the Student Council have to fight a battle you picked yourself?
Afterwards, in the Student Council Room
I'm sorry! Please!
Not good enough.
If you want me to listen to your request,
grovel before me and lick the bottom of my shoes.
Oh, you so do like your jokes, Daisy-chan.
Actually, I don't think she's joking.
P-President, please give me official permission!
Do as you please.
I'll look forward to some quality entertainment.
Afterwards, in the Sket-dan clubroom
I'm sorry, it's my fault, Ma'am...
It's not your fault!
Onihime can't go crying like this...
But...
I'm pissed now!
How dare he shoot his mouth off about someone's past!
Switch, Himeko, let's do this play!
Momoka, you and your friends'll help too, right?
Bossman...
Multipurpose Room A
I've borrowed this room until the performance, for now.
And thanks to Switch's help...
I've gotten costumes for Snow White and various other props.
I asked a children's drama troupe that recently disbanded,
and they let us have them for free.
Switch, you're awesome!
Okay, great, but we don't have nearly enough people!
Don't worry! I put in a few phone calls...
Performer Number 1!
Hail! It is I, Takemitsu Shinzou!
Who are you?!
Performer Number 2!
I am here!
She's here! I knew she'd come!
She's scary! Why'd you call her here?
I figured she'd be perfect to play the witch.
Performer Number 3!
Achoo!
I am so delighted you invited me today!
Argh! There's so much wrong here I don't know where to start!
And besides...
What is wrong with this picture?
Just looking at this bunch makes my head spin!
Thanks for having us.
Okay!
First, playing the role of Snow White... Roman!
Oh? Me?
I'm counting on you...
Counting on you...
I'm betting on your feminine, romantic sensibilities!
Okay?
Next, you'll handle the narration, Momoka.
Me? But, why?
Why? Because you've got a great voice, duh.
Here's the script.
B-But...
I won't do it unless she tells me to!
Just do it.
Then it's all set.
By the way, Switch... What's the Student Council putting on?
I am already looking into that, of course.
Peter Pan?
Yes.
Student Council Room
It's the most suited for children in our club's repertoire.
Understood.
However, I will take charge of the performance!
Acceptable?
Well...
In the event that we win this showdown...?
We'll increase your budget.
Unyuu, that okay?
Yes, of course!
This Student Council spends money like a fool...
If I play my cards right, I'll take a bundle from you...
Also, we'll give you a brand new lighting system.
And we'll handle setting up the aerial wire system.
Wait, we're going to fly using wires?
It's Peter Pan, so yes, obviously.
There's no point in having a battle if you're not gonna win it!
Right!
Now if you'll excuse me...
Okay, here we go!
Multipurpose Room A
We'll start from scene 1, where Snow White makes her entrance.
Don't worry too much about the official lines, and just ad-lib as you see fit.
Roger!
Okay, Momoka! Give it a go!
Start!
Once upon a time, there lived an extremely beautiful princess in a castle.
Next, Roman!
I'm Snow White!
Stop!
Stop, stop, stop!
Was it just my imagination,
or could everyone else see some seriously realistic-looking scenery?
I put it out.
You put it out?!
Right about here.
Hey, you could make a living doing that!
We don't have time to dilly-dally!
Next, next!
From "Mirror, mirror!"
Mirror, mirror, on the wall...
Who is the fairest of them...
Me!
Stop!
Stop, stop, stop!
You're screwing with me, right?
I said we didn't have time for this!
I have now arrived! Have at me!
Yay!
Stop!
Stop, stop, stop!
Not "Have at me!", not at all!
We'll handle the costumes, so wear what we give you!
Don't go off doing things on your own!
I have arrived, yet again.
Yes! Now that's a hunter!
Now, Snow White runs into the forest!
Even though my lady hath ordered me to fell you,
I cannot bring myself to slay you, Princess!
Now, go!
Go!
Deep into the forest where no man shall set foot!
Deep, I say!
Okay!
Then, the Queen created a poison apple, and appeared before Snow White...
Miss, I will give you... this apple.
It is red, and glistening...
Just like your lips, Miss!
Stop!
Stop, stop, stop!
Excellent! I have no complaints, Yuuki-san!
But I don't want the kids to cry,
so can you hold the performance back a little?
Performance? What are you saying?
I am descended from actual witches.
Elo
This girl's shocking...
In more ways than one...
Then, we'll use puppets for the Seven Dwarfs.
Sorry, but you'll need to assist, Inui.
She can't turn the script pages while working the puppets,
so do your best to follow along.
Right on!
And just like in Roman's wildest dreams, I will play the part of the prince!
*pang*
My prince!
Stop!
Stop, stop!
Wouldn't Switch be better for the prince?
After all, he's good-looking.
Why're you takin' your glasses off and bein' all appealin'?
Besides, you won't talk!
So...
Lip-sync, lip-sync!
You do the voice, and he'll act to match it.
Try it!
Oh, what a beautiful princess!
Perfect!
Damn them...
They're actually more entertaining than us at the Drama Club...
What? So I'll be behind the scenes the whole time?
But I'm the main character!
It's your destiny!
If they actually start seriously practicing, then...
We might actually be in big trouble!
If I don't do something fast, then...
Oh, Princess!
Snow White!
Dummy, you better work on those vocal exercises!
Or I'll torture you!
Scary...
That's those yankees from Nippon-ichi Tech.
Onihime!
She might have a cute face, but who knows what she's up to?!
Crap, they're looking at us!
Momoka-san, something the matter?
Momoka-san!
Oh, it's nothing.
Nothing...
Momoka-san?
Sket Dance!
A-And we're back-daccha!
Two days left until the real performance.
I think we've got it down pretty well.
What's this?!
The costumes, the props...
They're in tatters!
Who would do such a thing?
There you have it.
Our victory is guaranteed now!
I see.
Shame on you, fool!
I have no intention of winning by doing something like that!
Damn it...
What'll we do?
The only thing spared were the puppets of the little old guys!
For now...
How are we gonna put on Snow White with just those?
Well...
Ma'am...
I'll disappear.
I won't come here any longer.
Huh?
What do you mean?
If us disappearing will clear up this problem,
then I could beg the Student Council to spare the club in exchange...
Momoka-san!
You don't have to...
Momoka, you are free to come here or not as you wish.
Do as you see fit.
But if you really do want to come, and forced yourself to say that,
I don't want to hear that foolishness again from you.
It's been fun...
Honestly, I love going to that clubroom...
We've always had trouble making friends...
We were good at fighting and getting people to hate us...
Real punks.
But you two told us to come over and hang out whenever I liked!
I figured I could be friends with you, Ma'am,
but I think I'm getting along with Bossman, too.
That's why I can't cause you trouble!
I can't have this club go away!
Momoka...
The order for us to disband has nothing to do with you.
You don't have anything to apologize for.
Bossman...
Bossun...
Wait there a second.
I'll think up a way to go on with the play.
Bossman...
Bossun...
It's no use.
Sorry, but we're going to have to give up on the play.
And then, the day of the performance
I see. 'Tis unfortunate.
Sorry about this, after asking you to help like that.
I will not forgive!
Curse the villain who did this!
Fare thee well.
I'll be praying for you, my prince!
You're not even gonna say anything?!
Heya, Sket-dan.
Who's this?
I'll give you a drubbing! Who are you?
The Student Council President...
Well, in name only.
Actually, he leaves all the management to the Vice President and is just a figurehead.
3-A, Agata Soujirou.
I'll suspend you bastards.
Anyway, sorry about this.
The person who ruined your performance was that guy from the Drama Club.
This is completely our responsibility, and for that, we apologize.
Anyway, leave the showdowns aside for now, and have fun watching our performance.
It'll be quite the spectacle!
Off we go, to Neverland!
Wow!
Off we go, to Neverland!
He's floating!
Peter's floating!
Why is he playing the lead?
Tsubaki's playing Peter Pan?!
Well, we have our... reasons.
The star got injured and couldn't perform.
He is taking responsibility for that.
It looks like he stayed up all night memorizing the lines and rehearsing.
He can definitely be high-handed sometimes,
but no one takes responsibility for his actions more than him.
I don't like the guy.
He pisses me off.
That Peter Pan thinks he's such hot stuff...
But he's quite something.
Do you think we would win if the competition was still on?
If?
Bossman! I'm sorry we're late.
We gots the goods!
It's you...
Don't get the wrong idea.
We never said we were bailing on the challenge!
Never said a word!
Everwryone! Dwid you enjwoy the pway?
Amazwing! We hab anothwer pway for you!
Plus, afterwards we'd like to know which one you enjoyed more.
Ready?
Impossible! What do they intend on doing?
Putting on a play without costumes or props?
Now, wet's begwin!
A-A puppet show?!
Puppet Show Momo Onihime Cried
Note: Momo Onihime means "Peach Demon Princess"
A puppet show?
That's boring!
Even if they fly, they're just a bunch of dolls!
Oh, cute!
It's a girl demon!
This is a story that took place long, long ago...
Deep in the mountains, there lived a lonely, peach-colored demon.
And then what?!
The peach demon thought she'd like to make friends with the people in the village,
but they were all too scared to come near her.
Why won't anyone be my friend?
Ooh, I know this one!
A nice blue demon is going to show up and...
Shut up, Hiroshi-kun! I'll eat ya!
Hiroshi-kun didn't know when to keep his trap shut
and made Aho Onihime so mad, she came out before her cue.
I like it!
Playing with the audience right off the bat.
There's nothing praiseworthy about this kind of adlib.
We were supposed to have a more serious contest...
But it's capturing the hearts of the children.
This is how they operate.
Feels quite different than the fancy production we put on, huh?
Play with me!
Suddenly, something snapped inside of Momo Onihime!
Take that, villagers!
And take some of this, villagers!
Everyone, what would you do with a girl like that?
I'd tell the teacher!
I'd ask my mom!
But Momo Onihime didn't have a teacher or friends to rely on...
The villagers consulted the Aho Onihime the next mountain over...
What?!
'Kay then, I'll try talkin' to her!
Hey, Momo Onihime! You're a real idiot, you know that?
You do that kind of stuff and it'll be even harder to make friends.
Shut up! What do you know?
The furious Momo Onihime hit Aho Onihime.
She hit her again, and again...
Stop it!
But Momo Onihime doesn't realize her good intentions...
She just kept hitting her.
Again, and again...
She thought, maybe hitting would lift some of that weight from her heart...
Don't do it! She's a friend!
If you're going to come after me, then do it!
But I'm like you, I get all crazy and violent.
You just don't know how to make friends.
I'll be your friend!
Yeah, that's it! Then something'll change, I know it!
If you can change little by little, you might be able to make those friends you want.
Maybe they'll just be a bunch of fools...
Even so...
You can change, I know it!
You have to change!
Even if you can't do it alone, we're all here with you!
We'll always be together!
Don't be silly!
Someone like me...
I'll always be there for you!
So...
So, Momo Onihime...
Come over to my place to play whenever you want!
The door's always open, waiting for you, Momo Onihime!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Aho Onihime!
I'll be your friend, too!
So will I!
Those voices reached Momo Onihime's heart...
After Aho Onihime went back, Momo Onihime cried a whole lot by herself,
in order to wash away all the terrible things she did...
Because everyone's feelings are so warm...
She cried a whole lot...
Everyone was so... so kind...
Momo Onihime is so happy...
Thank you, everyone!
Thank you, Ma'am!
I'm with you!
So am I!
They used something important to themselves as the theme,
and performed it for the children to the very end.
What do you think, Tsubaki?
What happens next?
Do more!
Sorry, but...
I wanna see more!
So do I, children! So do I...
So, which pway does everwryone think...
There is no need to ask, Teacher!
I see!
I have learned something today!
But don't think that you have won!
...he says!
Why does he act like such a big shot?
He's a lot like you, Bossun.
No!
Eh, it's fine. They canceled shutting us down,
and they'll overlook what happened with Momoka and the gang!
That President is actually pretty reasonable.
And he's a bit handsome, too.
What?
I'm way more...
Bossun!
Where'd you learn to talk like that, young man?!
Momoka, who's the real handsome fellow?
Bossman! Is that what you want me to say?
It's Bossun!
Bossman, you're a real piece of work!
It's Bossun!
Clubroom Talk Corner!
So, what new thing should we introduce that we saw today for the first time?
Hey, Switch!
What's that song?
I discovered it by chance on the internet.
It's a really cute song!
But, I feel like that voice seems familiar...
Hey, the camera's rolling!
Seriously?
Hey everyone, this corner is...
Next Episode, Episode 7: Summer Sakura
Right, time's up! Figures they wouldn't let me...
