Onii-chan's Room
Takamiya-kun, it's time to get up.
Oops. It opened.
They should use more durable locks.
I'm home.
Man, I'm exhausted.
I spent all night looking for Medusa, but never found her,
and now it's time for school already.
At least the Princess's house
was destroyed, so they can't live together anymore!
I heard Onii-chan's back home, so I'll drop by his room...
What? Oh, well...
Good morning, Onii-cha—
Excuse me!
What's going on here?!
Why is the Princess in our house?!
I have a question.
First, there's something I'd like to ask. May I?
About you being out all night...
You be quiet!
Whose fault do you think it is that I'm so mad?!
You decided to let the Princess move in!
Stupid Mom! Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Whoa, Kasumi-chan, that wasn't nice! You should apologi—
Too late!
Forget it. I won't do anything.
I can't even be bothered to breathe.
Mom!
Normally, she progresses from pouting to crying to apathy.
She just skipped two steps...
That must've really shocked her.
This discussion is over!
And apologize to Mom, or I'm gonna get mad! Really mad!
I'm sorry I took out my anger on you.
Good. I'll call work for her. You go have breakfast.
'Kay. Thanks.
Hello, this is Takamiya.
Yes, thanks for being kind to my mother.
Yes... Well, about my mother... She's not feeling well, so...
Yes. I'm sorry.
Okay, Mom. I'm going.
I'll be home as soon as I can.
Takamiya-kun and the Test of Love
Student Council Executive Committee
It's been two weeks since Takamiya Honoka showed up.
What are you fan club people doing?
Are you not aware of what your jobs are?
Student Council President
Get rid of nasty insects that bother our Princess!
That is your duty! Hoozuki!
But, President, the Princess said...
Don't touch him.
So there's really nothing we can...
I don't need to hear excuses!
Now, now, please calm down...
How can I be calm?!
You're the vice president, Touko! You should be panicking yourself!
And you,
our advisor, Mikage-sensei!
Yes?
You always hide in the science room!
At least make yourself useful!
Right...
I know you're only our advisor because you're
dull, lack individuality, and can't say no!
But my patience is at an end!
I just had an idea!
You take care of this problem!
If you don't, the student council will have you fired!
Good morning, Princess!
Go away, guy next to her!
Just disappear!
Hey, you two!
Mikage-sensei!
Good morning.
Yes, good morning.
What is it?
Well, there's something I need to discuss with you.
Meet me at the student guidance office?
First Science Experiment Lab
"Student guidance office"?
Sorry to bother you this early.
We'll be finished before homeroom.
You see, I'm actually the student council advisor, and...
Takamiya Honoka-kun,
to be frank, you're causing a problem.
Do you mean...
You transferred in May of this year,
starting with your second year of high school.
So you don't know what the Princess was like in her first year, correct?
Well, yes.
But surely you've at least heard...
...why everyone calls her "Princess."
I heard it had something to do with this school's tradition.
It's been a custom at Tougetsu High since the old days.
At the fall culture festival,
students and faculty take a vote.
The objective is to elect the most outstanding student
as the one who will serve as the face of Tougetsu High School.
Candidates are chosen based on looks, grades, athletic skill,
charisma, and various other criteria.
The one elected represents the entire school as a model student.
The winners have always been called the Prince or Princess.
The problem is...
What do you think happens when bad rumors spread about that student?
Nothing good, right?
Especially when a guy is involved.
Wait a minute! It's not like that—
You attended her lunch party without a reservation.
You were seen disappearing together after school.
You went out together on a Sunday.
And there have been other claims.
It makes no difference what your relationship really is.
The Princess doesn't belong to you. She belongs to this school.
Could you please stay away from her, Takamiya-kun?
I know Kagari-san is the school's idol.
And I know I'm monopolizing her. That is a problem, isn't it?
But still, we have our reasons...
Don't make that face.
There's no need to worry. No one can stand between us.
Supposedly, long ago, a messenger
descended from the heavens
and took classes together with the local citizens.
Princess
This ritual imitates that, so it puts me in a bit of a peculiar position.
That's the thing.
I really don't have the right to separate you.
Chairperson Prince or Princess Student Council Faculty Common Students Tougetsu High Hierarchy
The student who becomes the Prince or Princess
has authority second only to the school chairperson.
In other words, she doesn't have to listen to anything a teacher says.
And therein lies our problem. If I don't fix this, I'll be fired.
I was told as such by the student council president.
Even if I complain to the chairwoman, this is her daughter we're talking about.
Kagari-san...
So basically,
I just have to end the complaints about
me and Takamiya-kun, right?
Let's speed up our plan.
What plan?
I see! I'm relieved to hear you have a plan, Princess!
Looks like I won't have to be fired.
That ends that discussion.
Now, it's on to the main subject, yes?
Huh?
I'll be borrowing him.
No! Takamiya-kun!
Where are we? Where's Kagari-san?
Relax. She's unharmed.
Go on, have a seat.
Mikage-sensei, are you...
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
That's one of Clarke's three laws.
Quite an interesting mechanism, isn't it?
You can think of it as a scientific experiment.
No, this is obviously magic...
Kagari-san is safe, right?
I swear to Heinlein.
Who?
I asked the Princess to leave because I needed a moment alone with you.
All because you used your wild card.
Huh?
This is a replica, but the real one must have burned going down, eh?
You swallowed this candy and called forth the White Princess.
Kagari-san told me to keep that a secret.
Wh-What are you talking about?
Within your body, there are five seals.
They exist to keep the White Princess locked in.
And one of them was just broken.
I suspect the chairwoman will soon be your enemy.
Headquarters entrusted you to her.
She is an exceptionally powerful witch.
It's thanks to her that you've been able to live a free life,
but that was only under the condition that your five seals remained functional.
That candy was poison. It broke the first seal.
It's likely that the other seals will soon break, one after another.
Nobody can stop it now.
Not without sealing you away entirely.
And the only witch who can do that is the chairwoman.
Fortunately, the chairwoman is preoccupied with Medusa
and hasn't realized that your seal has broken.
It's only a matter of time before she does,
but try to hide it as long as you can.
Along with the fact that the Princess is sheltering Medusa.
Got it?
Sensei, what are you trying to say?
I only want to help you.
You're important to me.
Important...?
If not for the Princess, that place would've been mine...
Yes! It's not too late!
Would you become my prince?
I'll protect you from everything!
I won't botch things like the Princess.
In fact...
Missed
Takamiya-kun, are you hurt?
Ow...
Uh, no...
Did he do anything to you?
I'm fine.
Good, then.
Uh... Homeroom...
What was Mikage-sensei, anyway?
An enemy. Nothing more than a pervert.
Oh...
Kagari-san, class isn't that way...
Come with me.
I have an announcement.
All students and faculty, I apologize for the inconvenience,
but please assemble in the gym immediately.
Was that okay?
Yes. Let's go.
Chairwoman! There's trouble!
Oh, Student Council President. What's going on?
You could at least knock.
Just, please, come and see!
The Princess is going up on stage!
No way! It was the Princess who called us here?!
I believe this is the first time I've spoken in front of you all.
She talked!
I've never heard her voice before!
Quiet, please.
Shut up!
What is this about?
The Princess called everyone to the gym!
By the way, Chairwoman, your eyes are red...
I had trouble getting that bastard to talk.
Huh?
I've called you all here because I have an important announcement to make.
Since I was elected as the school's model student last year,
I have not taken any public actions.
I kept my own thoughts within and remained quiet.
But this has lead to misunderstandings.
So I want to clearly state my thoughts,
so there can be no misunderstandings.
As the Princess, I hold the power of life or death over each of you.
In other words, whether you live or die is up to me.
I am using this power to fire the former student council president.
The new student council president is this boy, Takamiya Honoka-kun.
He is the ideal person for the position, hand-chosen by myself.
What?
Chairwoman, you can't let her do this!
I had no idea my daughter cared so much about this school!
U-Um, I realize that you're thinking of the school's best interests,
but me as student council president?
That was all just talk.
Be happy. Now there's no one left who can oppose us.
Prince or Princess Student Council Faculty Common Students Tougetsu High Hierarchy
Wow... That's your brother, isn't it, Mya-chan?
Mya-chan?
I've eliminated all obstacles.
Medusa-sama, how long do we have to stay here?
Dunno.
Student Council Executive Committee
Okay, everyone, attention!
This is our new student council president as of today,
Takamiya Honoka-kun! Tah-dah!
I feel a chill coming from her...
And I have one more important announcement.
This is our new vice president as of today,
the Princess!
As such, the former vice president, Touko,
has been granted the inexplicable title of "vice vice president."
What? I can wash your gym uniform?
Does that mean I can do as I please with it until tomorrow?
Okay! I'll concede the title of vice president to you!
Now, if you would say a few words.
Uh, okay...
Just a minute!
Princess, what is this all about?
We're all completely confused!
The previous president was an upstanding student!
Why did you fire her?
Please explain this in a way that we can understand!
President: Stop barking, you useless mutts! All dogs who oppose the student council president are fired! Thank you! Touko: That's right! Starting today, you're all dogs! Woof, woof! Salute the student council president!! (Turn toward president and salute)
"Stop barking, you useless mutts.
All dogs who oppose the student council president are fired. Thank you."
Oh, there's a line for me, too.
Touko: That's right! Starting today, you're all dogs! Woof, woof! Salute the student council president!! (Turn toward president and salute)
"That's right! Starting today, you're all dogs!
Woof, woof! Salute the student council president!"
Gosh, I'm terrible!
Kagari-san, I appreciate that you came up with lines for me,
but don't worry.
Um, everyone, I know...
that I didn't become student council president for reasons you can agree with.
But since it was Kagari-san's decision, I can't refuse.
I'm at a loss here myself.
So I have a suggestion. Could you all
acknowledge me as president for the time being,
and then judge me for yourselves?
Just a brief time would be fine.
If you decide that I'm not good enough,
you can expel me or something.
I'll accept whatever you decide.
That said, could everyone hold off on the anger and complaints for now?
Just you watch, Princess!
I won't let you have Onii-chan!
Oh, I hear something from upstairs.
Skip.
Huh?!
Man, now I've done it...
What do I do, Kagari-san?
If it comes down to that, I'll use my Princess power to...
You can't!
Listen, you have to stop firing people at random.
You're our school's idol, and everyone looks up to you.
But I can't let you be expelled.
I can't leave things as they are.
All of this made me realize that.
Just by being with you, I'm causing a lot of trouble.
If I don't change, it's always going to be this way.
Trust me a little more.
What is he laughing about? It's not funny!
Not funny at all!
That's right, Kasumi!
This is a test of love, granted to you by the gods!
I'll show you who Onii-chan really belongs to!
Just wait, you homewrecker!
What's the matter, Takamiya-kun?
Why did you suddenly want to come here?
Nothing important.
Wait here. I'll be right back.
These two? Will they be gifts?
Oh, uh...
Takamiya-kun?!
Wh-What is...
Kagari-san!
Evil is no more.
Kasumi-chan!
She'll be fine. I just put her to sleep for a bit.
It's not like physical attacks can damage her.
That big game tranquilizer was enough.
She should be out for two or three days.
What are you trying to do, Kasumi-chan?!
I've come to get you, Onii-chan.
I really blew it. I should've done this sooner.
What are you saying, Kasumi-chan?
But this paper plane flies pretty well.
I made it out of our house.
We're going to leave this town for a place nobody knows.
You and I will live on our own, Onii-chan.
What?
As long as you're in this town, you'll never be happy.
I heard that the chairwoman will be your enemy soon.
So you can't trust her daughter, either.
Huh?
So we're leaving town.
The chairwoman leads the Workshop.
So she can't enter other territories.
No matter how powerful she is,
if we leave her town, you're mine!
Wait a minute! Kasumi-chan, were you following me again?
I heard everything Mikage-sensei said.
So the chairwoman's goal was to keep an eye on you, eh?
And the Princess is no better! She's reckless! Irrational!
What exactly does your life mean to her?!
Now I know my only choice is to run away with you!
If you heard everything he said, then you heard about the seals, right?
No matter where I run, I'll end up being a hazard eventually!
I can handle that with my sister power!
What do you mean, "sister power"?
The power of a sister's love for her big brother is infinite!
What's that?
Kagari-san!
Now, look, Princess!
If you're a witch, then ride on a broom like one!
What are you provoking her for, Kasumi-chan?!
Can't you tell she's really mad?!
That's just for show!
She fired at me! It was like a beam attack!
I told you! Kagari-san is serious!
Surrender and apologize!
I won't!
Higher! Higher!
Kasumi-chan! In front of us!
Takamiya-kun!
Kasumi-chan is unconscious...
Kagari-san, get Kasumi-chan!
I know.
Here! This is where she fell!
Looks like she got away. Who on Earth was that?
Who else would do this to a Workshop courtyard?
It had to be a Tower Witch.
Look over there.
I heard the buildings exploded.
What the heck?
Little sisters are mysterious things.
Good morning.
Kagari-san?
Where's Kasumi-chan?!
Sleeping in her own room. She's unhurt.
Would you like to visit her?
Onii-chan, run...
No, if she's safe, it's okay...
Um, Kagari-san...
My sister was out of line. I'm sorry!
Takamiya-kun, lift your head.
All she did was throw a car at me, gun me down,
and leave me with the parting remark, "Evil is no more."
Uh-oh... she's pretty mad!
Honestly, I had to admire her.
Her dynamic energy showed me
what a bond between brother and sister is like.
It made me interested in her.
So, Takamiya-kun...
Shall I try being your little sister?
What did you say?
Your little sister. It sounds like fun.
I don't know what makes you think that...
but I don't think you can be my little sister.
Why not?
It means your mom had an illegitimate
child who's older than you, for one.
Besides, you're more like an older sister than a younger one.
Older sister?
Yes, older sister.
Then I'll be your older sister.
Try calling me "Onee-chan."
What?! How did that conversation lead to this?!
Just say it.
O-Onee-chan...
Your heart wasn't in it. Again.
Onee-chan.
Again.
Onee-chan.
Again.
Onee-chan.
Wait, what is this, Kagari-san?
That's "Onee-chan."
She got bored with it and fell asleep...
My bag! And the stuff I bought!
I got them for Kasumi-chan and Kagari-san...
I was hoping it would help them get along...
Takamiya residence. We're not home at the moment.
Please leave a message.
Take care.
