You really don't have to follow me to school...
It's for your own protection, President.
From what possible threat?
W-Would you back off a little more?
Yo, you two!
Looks like you're gettin' all chummy on the way to school...
What are you, some yakuza punk?
We've got a weirdo here...
Katou Kiri... I hear you've become his retainer?
Don't call him a "retainer"! Katou is just a member of the Student Council!
I'm impressed. It's gotta be a tough job protecting a brat.
And this one's got a screw loose. You may have bit off more than you can chew.
W-What-nyan?! Someone with an empty head like you has no room to talk!
Who's got an empty head?!
The juvenile delinquent right in front of me who's just coming off of a school suspension!
And whose fault is it that I got suspended?!
It's your own fault!
Good grief. A brotherly quarrel first thing in the morning?
In this day and age, who walks around with a servant in tow?!
He's probably jealous about somebody stealing his little brother.
Just goes to show how close they are.
He's not my servant!
Well, I don't know if you're role-playing "master and servant" or what, but good luck with it.
Shut up! One more word of nonsense out of you and...
...your life will be forfeit.
I'm sorry...
Let's begin our regular meeting.
Episode 76: To Build a Better Academy
I know it isn't necessary to introduce him again,
but this is Katou Kiri, our general affairs manager.
Why are you all standing?
I'm looking forward to working with you.
Please tell him the same from me, Daisey-senpai.
DOS.
Shut up, women. I have no intention of getting friendly with you.
Hey, Katou! That's no way to speak to your colleagues.
Apologize!
Yes, sir!
I apologize.
What the hell's with you?
Up until now, you always acted on your own, but suddenly you've turned over a new leaf?
And on top of that, you'll only listen to Tsubaki-kun? That's way too self-indulgent!
Say what you want. I've made up my mind.
President called me a friend to the end and didn't give up on me.
And it's thanks to him that I didn't get expelled.
President saved me!
Now it's my turn to serve him faithfully!
I'll follow any order and put my life on the line to protect him!
That's right. Even if it means laying down my life...
Whoa, whoa, whoa! What is all this stuff about protecting me?!
Nobody's after my life and this isn't a samurai drama in the first place!
It's a ninja's duty to protect his master.
I've trained for that since I was a young boy.
I resisted the ninja family tradition for the longest time,
but now that I have a master, I feel pride in being a ninja!
But I don't remember ever becoming your master...
Ninja, my ass! It's a load of claptrap!
What?!
I recognize your athletic prowess, but a ninja in the modern age?
MFA. Step on spikes and get swollen feet!
Makibishi Funde ashi Harero!
Why would you say that?!
It's Daisey-chan's way of greeting someone.
If you don't like it, why don't you show me one ninja-like trick?
A smokescreen?!
This definitely is ninja-like.
You don't do that inside!
Katou!
A tree stump! He's become a tree stump?!
That's ninja-like!
It's cliched, but that is ninja-like. Damn you, Katou. You impressed me.
Where are you, Katou?! Show yourself!
Here I am.
That's ninja-like!
I didn't think you'd be able to do that many ninja-like things.
You surprise me.
About how much does that cloth go for?
They don't sell them. I made it myself.
That's amazing!
What else can you do?
For instance, can you scrunch yourself up and fit in a Boston bag?
Can you do that?!
I can do it, but it's not ninjutsu...
You can do it?!
Ahem!
I could comment all day, but let's put a pin in it.
As long as you do your work, how you interact with me is up to you.
Do as you like.
Yes, sir! Thank you!
Now, I'll do whatever you say, so please give me an order!
There isn't anything right now, especially...
Huh? It looks like your bottle is empty.
I'll buy you a new beverage!
No! I don't like using people like that!
I want to go!
But still...
I'll go at full speed! Please let me buy you a drink!
Alright. Then please...
I'll take hot green tea.
Understood!
Why do I have to buy for you wenches, too?!
As long as you're going out...!
Don't make me laugh! I'm no slave!
I only take the president's orders!
I have no intention of becoming buddies with you lot!
Got that?!
It looks like...
...we're still going to have a problem with him.
Katou, this is an order. Be on good terms with everyone.
Yes, sir!
It can't be helped. Tell me in order.
Lemon tea, please.
Coffee.
Please tell him I want orange juice.
He actually obeys...
Problem solved.
I'll be right back!
Well, it seems like he's opened up to us, in his own way...
Uh-huh. He's actually a kind boy at heart.
I think so, too.
He's...
I'm back!
That was fast!
You must've run incredibly fast.
You're back already?
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me.
I require more training to improve...
And he's modest!
Also, there was a new kind of coffee in the machine.
I bought that one, too, so choose whichever one you want.
I'll drink the one that's left.
Fine...
He's being considerate...
This boy has a talent for being a gofer...
He certainly does.
Well, it's getting late, but let's start the meeting.
That being said, there are no particular topics to discuss today.
Does anyone have anything?
I do!
Unyuu.
Why don't we take this opportunity to decide to call Katou-kun by his given name, "Kiri"?
After all, we're all on good terms now.
I think we should address him in an affectionate manner.
Yeah, but...
What do you think, Usami-chan?
I agree with your opinion, Mimorin-senpai.
Either way, you don't talk to boys!
And I don't care either way.
But if I had to choose, "Kiri" is one letter shorter than "Katou",
so it's easier to call him that.
How the hell hard can it be to say my name?
Then it's decided!
No.
There's one member who's fidgeting in his chair.
Tsubaki-kun, you don't have to be embarrassed.
I-I'm not embarrassed! I just don't like calling people by their given names or nicknames!
That kind of thing should be used only after you really get to know each other...
Congrats!
Don't give me "congrats"!
You're turning red! That's so weird!
Just try calling him "Kiri" once.
I told you I'm not going to call him that!
Mimorin-senpai, please tell the president that he's just a little cute like this.
Only a little, though...
You women dare mock the president?! I'll tie you all up...
No, you don't tie them up!
Just do your work!
Yes, sir!
U-Um, President...
What is it?
What should I do?
Oh. Right...
Everything you need to know about general affairs duties
Saint Kain-kun's Learn by Manga All About General Affairs
is explained simply in this notebook, so read it.
In manga format!
You're nothing if not conscientious, Tsubaki-kun.
I wonder if I'll be able to do it...
Don't worry.
To be honest, it isn't all that tough...
Listen, Katou. General affairs is actually just routine duties.
But you mustn't take it lightly.
If you're willing to work, there's no end of things to do.
For example, if a colleague is in over their head,
you would pitch in immediately. Try keeping that in mind.
Supporting the other members of the Student Council
is just one important role of the general affairs manager.
Yes, sir!
His expression has changed.
Katou is a guy who wants to be useful to other people after all.
Whoops.
Thank you.
The windows are dirty. It's my turn to clean this week.
I'll wipe them.
Th-This isn't exactly what I meant by "support".
He's just become a super-speedy servant.
Although it is extremely convenient.
Kiri-kun has really become a huge help to students in need.
Genesis Club Now Accepting Members!! I'm waiting for you.
It just looks to me like he's being a meddler...
But you can tell he's enthusiastic about it.
Yeah.
Even when he was acting alone,
I'm sure he did it to help people, driven by his own sense of justice.
When someone discovers the role they were meant for,
they change so much you'd swear it was a different person.
At this rate, even a dozen of me wouldn't be enough to get everything done!
President, are you headed to the Student Council office?
I'll accompany you.
Sure.
Then let's go, Kiri!
Yes, sir!
We're only in this bit at the end?!
Fine way to treat the main characters of an anime in the episode before last!
It doesn't matter! I'm just gonna get...
No, Bossun, no!
I apologize.
This never would have happened if I'd been paying closer attention...
I've failed!
It's not your fault, Kiri. These incorrigible fools and their horseplay are to blame.
I'm sorry my kids have caused all this trouble...
You guys better apologize!
Incidentally, Himeko is the one who gave us the bumps.
After all, there's just one episode left...
You're cute when you pout...
Scolding is boring. Instead of that, come on and play with me.
Kiss!
When did you turn into Bunny?!
Asahina!
Don't touch me!
I'm sorry for the trouble.
Student Council
Even so...
It's so mysterious... and she's so cute. I wanna take her home!
Hey, that's enough! Keep your hands off my Usami!
It seems Usami-chan would like to be cured of it herself, but...
Hey, if you seriously wanna change yourself,
we'd be glad to help you with it.
Let's think of a way together.
Apparently, "men are the sesame seeds on a bean-jam bun".
Why would you say that?!
Even though we said we'd help you...
And don't pass the message on, say it to our faces!
Apparently, "men are red-horned caterpillars".
Who taught you that?!
Anyway, it must be hard on you to hate guys that much...
She says, "I'm not used to being around men, so I should probably start there."
Fine, but you'll never get anywhere if you don't even try talking to guys.
I wonder if there is a good way...
Can't your ninjutsu be of some help here?
What the hell do you think ninjutsu is?!
I've got it!
Why don't we consult Chuu-san?
Don't start with the most dangerous option!
Are you Antonio?!
How about girls get dressed up as guys so she gets used to them?
That's it!
That's a great plan!
Three girls will put on guys' uniforms,
so Usami-chan will get confused and won't know who's a he or a she!
That's a really rough plan. You sure it's gonna be okay?
Then it's settled! Mimorin, Daisey-san, and I will go change now and come back as men!
Bossun! Switch! Tsubaki!
All of you strip, then take a hike.
That sounds ominous!
What is this, highway robbery?!
How dare you tell the president to do that?! In that case... I'll strip!
I don't care either way! Do what you want!
They don't look like guys at all!
Hey, what the hell is this? I mean, of course it turned out like this!
As if putting on boy clothes and changing your hairstyle would make you look like a guy!
She looks like a girl who accidentally went into a gay bar.
Yo, yo, girl! The name's Himeo.
They're starting in on her.
Is this Himeko's idea of a man?
Well, ain't you the stone-cold fox? You want some candy?
No? I ain't got time to stand here all day, so how 'bout goin' to the speedboat races with me?
She's just playin' a thug.
My name is Daisey-o! I know everything there is to know about digital audio, hence my name!
"Daisey-o" (de-jio) is similar to "digital audio" (dejitaru o-dio)
Looks like she set up the whole background!
Ask me anything you want to know about digital audio-jio!
She doesn't have her character locked down yet, so the cracks are starting to show...
I'm Unyuo.
Unyuo?
Sounds like a kind of slimy fish.
Usami-chan, let's have fun chatting today.
She hasn't changed her personality one bit!
Does she get the point of this?
What do you think?! Come on, what do you think, Usami! We're all men!
She totally sounds like a girl...
I'm not a girl! Come on, say somethin' to me!
To me, she just looks like a girl
getting a kick out of wearing a boy's uniform at a school festival.
Um... I appreciate what you're doing for me...
But you just look to me like girls who enjoy getting to put on boys' school uniforms.
Figures...
Now what should we do? And I thought that was such a good plan...
What should we do next?
You're gonna do something else?!
Hurry up and return my uniform!
That's it! You guys dress as girls!
Yeah! Why didn't I think of that before?!
That's an even better plan!
What?!
So we start by talking to Usami as women,
and as she gets used to us, we bring out our man parts bit by bit?
That's right, but don't make it sound so graphic!
Well, forget it! I ain't gonna do it!
You've gotta be kidding me!
In the first place, your uniforms are too small for us. We'd never fit in them!
What are you, an idiot?! Why would you have to borrow our uniforms?!
What the hell?! We don't get to wear high school girls' uniforms right after they've been taken off?!
Stop making it sound so graphic, I said!
Then what will we do for clothes?
An Unyuu Group helicopter!
They've brought something over!
Student Council
Cute! What the hell, you guys?!
You totally look like girls!
Shut up...
This is better than we expected.
W-Wow! You're irresistibly cute!
It's scary!
You're the one who's scary!
Tsubaki! Hey, you!
What's the deal with all the puffery?!
What are you, a nature girl?!
I'm sorry, President. I couldn't protect you...
Hey, Tsubaki, twirl around once!
Twirl...
I can't get enough of this! Alright, Bossun, you twirl, too!
You just made us dress up like girls for your own amusement, didn't you?!
President! I'll follow you wherever you go!
Okay, now let's start planning to cure Usami of her hatred of men.
It's simple. First, as fake girls, have a lively chat.
You just called us "fake girls"...
That expression will shake the very roots of this plan.
And once you've gotten familiar with the mood they set, join in a bit, Usami.
That's a really loose plan...
And that's the plan, President.
Yeah.
I'm kind of looking forward to this.
Jio-jio.
Jio?
Alright, ready?! Start!
This morning, I took a dump!
Now cut that out!
What are you, a dumbass?! This is supposed to be real girls' talk!
Like I can do that!
You can! Knowing you, you can probably do anything!
Where does that misplaced confidence come from?!
Just hurry up and do it!
Suiko, that one piece is so cute. Uh, when did you buy it?
Me, if I don't work, I seriously have no money!
You really can do it!
That's amazing! I know I said you could, but I'm impressed!
By the way, Suiko, what happened with Ninomiya-senpai?
The other day, it looked like you two were really getting along well... What?
Are you going to tell him how you feel?
Come on, Suiko, you too.
It seems like you and Ninomiya-senpai are gettin' along good, so what are you gonna do?
Well, I'd totally never be able to tell him how I feel, so forget about it.
And don't you think it's the guy's place to confess?
I mean, if he turned me down, I would be so bummed out.
How can you guys do this?!
I mean, it's so realistic that it's makin' me embarrassed for some reason!
Put a damper on the acting!
You're the one who said to make it real!
At this rate, I don't think Usami can jump in.
Maybe you can just tone it down a bit?
Can you do that?
Well, yeah...
You can?!
Um...
Okay, Usami, just join the conversation whenever you'd like.
Because these aren't guys, see? They're girls!
Right, but you don't have to... You don't have to do this for me...
Tsubaki, you talk, too!
You've hardly said a word since getting dressed up as a girl!
This was such a peculiar development that it seems his senses are paralyzed.
In that case, I'll do it for him...
Don't sound like a man, Kiriko!
Kiriko?!
Listen, Tsubaki, I mean, Sasuko!
If you can't carry on a conversation,
you can just chime in with "That's cute!" or "This is delicious!"
Okay...
President! Then I'll do it, too!
Okay, here we go! Start!
Have you thought about marriage?
Yeah, of course, I've thought about it, you know?
How cute...
Cute...
Suiko, do you have a boyfriend right now?
No, nothing like that. All I do is work these days.
I know how it is.
It's a matter of timing, right?
Yeah, that's exactly right! Especially when it comes to guys!
Oh!
It's delicious...
Delicious...
And then there's work...
Yeah...
It's like some things are really difficult
unless you tackle them at a time when you have confidence in yourself.
Is the man you want to be your boyfriend and the man you want to marry different?
Oh, they're totally different! What about you, Kiriko?
I...
There you go again, sounding like a guy!
That's not fair of you, Kiriko.
Beautiful as you are, you sound like a man, and the gap is too moe for words!
This is delicious...
Delicious...
It is delicious, isn't it?!
I can't stop eating them!
Hey, aren't you curious about your boyfriend's cellphone?
Totally curious!
What is this, a TV drama?!
Why the hell are you talkin' like you're some office ladies?!
There's no way Usami can participate in that realistic kind of conversation!
Then what the hell do you want us to do?!
U-Um...
Usami-chan, don't worry about it.
Just take it slowly.
Everyone, that's enough.
Usami...
You don't have to keep doing this for me.
Apparently, "men are the sesame seeds on a bean-jam bun".
Apparently, "men are red-horned caterpillars".
But you know, I think that no matter how much times passes, men are always children.
No matter how old they get, they're into plastic models and video games...
Men are unbelievable!
I know! In fact, maybe men are more like pets than children, you know?
That's right! Men are like dogs and cats. It's like they'll be in a good mood if you pet them.
Exactly!
So cute...
Cute...
Huh?
She didn't transform!
You did it, Usami! Even after touching Tsubaki, you didn't change!
You cleared the first hurdle!
It's because Tsubaki is too cute!
I knew you could do it, President!
Good for you, Usami!
Tsubaki, you idiot!
Don't show your true self!
Is it me or is getting warm in here?
She turned into Bunny!
What a pain in the ass!
Well, we'll stop here for today...
I feel like I should apologize...
Not at all.
Well, see ya, Usami.
What are you, stupid? Don't talk to her.
She's still a ways off from speakin' to any guys.
Don't talk to me like that!
Knock it off with the Bossuko!
What's wrong, Kiri?
I could've sworn I just heard Usami say, "thank you".
Men are the green peas in pork dumplings!
Sorry. I must have misheard. There's no way she would've, I mean, to the Sket-dan...
No. She may be grateful.
After all...
After all, it's them...
Yes. After all, it's them...
Let's go! The last...
