I don't know why all this happened.
Among so many unknowns, there's one thing I'm certain of.
The girl who saved me...
She was my classmate.
My name is Takamiya Honoka.
Fuyutsuki High School Main Gate West
I'm a completely ordinary high school student.
I thought today was just another typical day.
Morning.
Princess!
Again?
I ended up on the same bus as Kagari-san...
Any bus she's on is always like this.
When I end up on the same one as her,
every day is like riding to school in a sardine can.
Takamiya-kun and the Fire Witch
If I recall, Kagari-san is the chairwoman's daughter.
She could just get a ride to school...
I don't understand rich people.
Takamiya
Found you...
I never thought I'd have anything to do with Kagari Ayaka.
Princess! Princess!
Even if she does sit directly to my right in class.
We're this close, yet we've never spoken.
That's how it is between us.
I hope we get new seat assignments soon...
Nothing good ever happens to me in this seat.
Princess!
Oh...
Thanks.
Princess, listen to this!
You've got some nerve, you know.
Just because you happen to sit next to the Princess,
you made her pick up the eraser you dropped, didn't you?
Did you do it on purpose?
Obama-kun, get him.
The best is yet to come!
If you've learned your lesson, you won't dare ogle the Princess again.
Ow...
Oh, good, you're here.
Take these to the classroom for me.
Sure.
Takamiya-kun!
That's day duty stuff, right?
Mind handing it over?
Princess! I got it!
Let's go!
What was that?
Oh, I guess Kagari-san's on duty today, too.
On Duty Today Princess (Kagari) | Takamiya
Listen to this, Princess!
For breakfast today, I had miso soup with shimeji mushrooms,
marinated spinach, flavored nori, and rice with a raw egg on top,
and when I broke the egg... You won't believe it!
It had twin yolks!
Princess, I was so surprised!
End of Line
I just knew today was going to be my lucky day!
Can you believe it?
I'm being treated like an obstacle in my own seat...
Takamiya!
Hey, Takamiya, up for karaoke after we're done?
It's no use asking him.
I'm on duty today. I'll pass.
See? Told you. He never wants to hang out.
Seems like a real downer, too.
You boys! Quit slacking and get to work!
Takamiya-kun, you're on garbage duty!
Today's Weather Sunny with Occasional Falling School Buildings
School buildings?
Why?!
It's on a direct course for me!
Am I gonna die?
I don't want to die!
I never even held hands with a girl yet...
Huh?
I'm not dead?
Something smells... nice...
Huh? What? Kagari-san?
Whoa! What are you doing, Kagari-san?!
Quit flailing. You'll fall.
Huh?!
Something crazy's happening in the courtyard!
And we're floating in the air!
S-Sorry...
A Workshop Witch, huh?
Let's see...
what you can do.
They're coming.
"They're coming"?
You're not hurt?
Stay close to me.
Takamiya-kun, over here.
It's safe over here.
Who's that?
A friend of Kagari-san's?
Burst!
Huh?
Calm down, me!
School buildings falling from the sky
and being attacked by rabbits isn't normal!
That's it!
I'm dreaming!
Takamiya-kun.
Kagari-san?
I told you to stay close to me.
Even in my dreams, you really are beautiful.
Dreams?
Yeah, I'm dreaming.
There's no other way to explain this.
There's no way you'd save me...
It's my mission.
I'm sure you're confused now, but there's no need to worry.
I'm going to protect you.
Because...
you're my princess.
What?
Um, that sounded pretty cool until the end.
Did I hear that last part wrong?
Just give up and let me protect you.
Huh?
Did that happen because she covered for me?
For me...
Kagari-san, why did you cover for me?
Why did you come here?
I told you, because you're my princess.
That's not what I'm talking about!
What are you angry about?
Angry?
This is weird. I'm actually mad.
I was tricked. You could have just left me alone.
Why did you get your hair burned doing something so stupid?
Your hair is...
Your hair is like a miracle granted by the gods!
Why am I even saying stuff like this?
We've been classmates for a month and we've never spoken once!
Or am I a pervert who developed an
unhealthy attachment to her hair without realizing it?
Look out!
Takamiya-kun!
All I've done is make myself look like a loser...
This was my fault for not finishing the job.
I should have returned you to dust...
and left no trace behind.
Incinerate them,
Million Clover!
Time to pull back...
I won't forget this, Fire Witch.
Good morning. How are you feeling?
Kagari-san!
Where are we? Are you the only one here?
Wait, wasn't I...
This is my own private room within the school.
You don't remember what happened?
Um...
She's dressed normal now.
Was that a dream?
It wasn't a dream.
I'll explain everything one day.
For now, let's go home.
Your bag is right there.
Wait, Kagari-san... I...
There's no need to protect you in secret anymore.
We'll go home together.
Protect... in secret?
For some reason, we ended up on the same bus every day,
were seated side by side in the same class,
and always had day duty together.
Now that I think about it, she was always close...
What does it all mean?
My mission is to protect you.
Because you are my master.
Huh?
Didn't she call me her princess?
Come and walk beside me,
Princess Takamiya-kun.
Now she's back to that...
Kagari-san really is strange.
We didn't speak again after that.
Kagari-san gave off a faintly sweet scent.
Fuyutsuki High School Main Gate West
Princess! Princess!
May I sit next to you, Takamiya-kun?
What was that all about?
Who is he?!
The Princess is walking with a boy!
Why is she walking beside such a lame guy?
Their glares actually hurt...
What is her fan club doing?!
I'm sure she's being tricked!
Um, Kagari-san... why are we coming to school together?
Princess, look this way!
We'll be doing so every day.
I caused that, didn't I?
What's the matter?
Er... my stomach...
I gotta go to the restroom!
Princess!
Why did you come to school with that boy this morning?!
The whole school's talking about it!
Please tell us why, Princess!
Tell us it was some kind of mistake!
Boys' Restroom
I'm at a loss here...
Hey, why don't you explain what that was all about this morning, Takamiya-kun?
They're here...
Of course.
Everyone in school knows we came to school together, don't they?
Why was scum like you walking with our sublime Princess?
Well? Why?
Takamiya-kun, homeroom is starting.
Princess!
Your collar is all messed up.
I-It's fine!
Come on, sit still.
Was someone rough with you?
If anyone tries to harm you,
make sure you tell me.
I'll burn them.
Done.
Let's go, Takamiya-kun.
I saw this coming.
Of course the mood would end up like this...
With someone like me getting mixed up in their fun little lunch party.
Princess, I can't hold it in any longer! I have to ask!
What's he doing here?! He's an eyesore!
Yeah, that's right!
Who does he think he is?
Out of place doesn't begin to describe him!
Tell us, Princess!
Takamiya-kun, look at this wiener.
It came out well, if I do say so myself.
Open your mouth.
Kagari-san, I'll just eat in the classroom.
You should enjoy your lunch out here with everyone else.
Um, I mean, people have to make reservations to eat with you, right?
Your fan club keeps track.
All of these people have been looking forward to eating with you today.
Me being here is totally against the rules.
Where I eat, and with whom, is my choice.
Your choice?
Don't be selfish.
Selfish?
I'm not! I was just thinking of the others.
If you say this is your choice,
then it's my choice to go back right now!
Bye!
He yelled at the Princess!
How rude!
What happened?!
I'm a real jerk.
Kagari-san wasn't trying to be mean.
Huh?
This is where the school building fell, right?
It's back to normal, and the building is unharmed...
Of course it is.
That was illusion magic.
Yesterday, I wasn't sure whether you were harmless or not.
I needed to find out, and that's why I did things that way.
The fact that you came to me yourself tells me you're harmless.
Trash
What are you talking about?
No, I just don't want to understand.
I'll get to the point.
I've come here for you.
I am Kuraishi Tanpopo-sama of the Tower Witches!
Gotcha!
I figured you'd come, Fire Witch.
He belongs to the Tower.
I'm taking him back, and returning the favor from yesterday.
I lost last time because
I foolishly thought that would be enough soldiers to defeat you.
Today, I'm going into battle in full force...
With my entire army!
Prepare to be run through together!
What... happened?
Are you all right?
You're not hurt, are you?
Kagari-san!
Why...
What is this?!
Kagari-san, why would you do this for me?!
You're angry again?
You're safe. Why are you angry?
It mystifies me.
Why?
Are you crying?
How can she think about me when she's like that?
I was the one running away from those eyes that saw
nothing but her mission.
Both yesterday and today, I didn't listen to her.
I didn't believe her.
That's why she got hurt.
I see now... I shouldn't be getting angry.
I should believe in you, no matter what happens!
Wait, no! This isn't the time!
I have to help you! The ambulance! I have to call an ambulance!
You mean, from tomorrow on,
you won't run from me at lunch time?
Oh... yeah, I guess you could sum it up that way.
Wait, no! We have to do something about you right now!
If we don't stop the bleeding, you'll...
It's all right. I'm made of fire.
You don't need to worry anything.
Just do as I say.
I'll put an end to this soon.
Will you be okay once you do?
Close your eyes.
Having them attack in full force was all well and good,
but I forgot how much work it is to move them.
Hey! Don't fight! Jump down in order!
They said "dead or alive,"
but they'll probably get mad if I don't bring him back in one piece.
You've done it now, little animal-eared girl.
Burn into nothingness.
Crap! Plan B!
I won't forget this!
Plan B = Strategic Retreat
You can open your eyes now.
Huh?
You're back to normal...
Girls are such a mystery.
Sorry about what I did at lunch.
Thanks for the wiener.
Good morning, everyone.
We have new transfer students joining our class today.
Kuraishi Tanpopo
I'm Kuraishi Tanpopo.
Kazari Rin
I'm Kazari Rin.
Katsura Kotetsu
I'm Katsura Kotetsu.
Menowa Mei
I'm Menowa Mei.
Utsugi Kanna
I'm Utsugi Kanna.
Everyone be nice to them, okay?
Nice to meet you.
There's more of them...
Takamiya-kun, I'm sure this goes without saying, but...
I have a bad feeling about where you're going with this.
They're all witches.
My name is Takamiya Honoka.
I was a completely ordinary high school student...
"Was"?
