Izumiko?
Can't sleep?
Mayura, I don't know what I should do...
What's wrong? What happened?
I put Sagara... through a nightmare.
Even he was terrified.
I'm the enemy of all of mankind!
Before long, I might not even be me anymore!
Red Data Book
A book which contains data about species in danger of extinction.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature first published it in 1966.
The ones deemed in gravest danger had their articles printed on red paper.
I go toward your voice as we speak, into the light...
About "Red Data Girl"
She is a girl from an endangered species.
The term originates from a book which contains data about species in danger of extinction,
called the Red Data Book (abbreviated RDB).
Many wish to have control over her, for such is the vast mystery of her power.
Through thin silk I watch the world outside
I can't fly with my wings in that little box
Flowers bloom one after another into a windswept forest,
and I imitate their breathing, and flaps my wings a little
Look,
your voice, though faint as ever,
guides me from where I cowered
The future is so very far away and obscure for me,
but I will abandon my fear of it and find you
We cannot touch each other, but know the other's feelings
That gives me the strength to look ahead
so that I may change
Warring

Festival
The executive committee's job is to walk around the festival and offer help where needed.
Get Thee to the First Years' Booths
If you come across trouble, please inform Festival Director Hayakawa.
Get Thee to the First Years' Booths
Please all check your individual schedules.
I'm sure you must be curious as to how your class is doing in the polls,
but please maintain a neutral position when checking its status.
That is all.
Okay!

Thank you very much!
We're going to outsell everyone today!
Suzuhara!
What did you do with your hair?
It's still in braids, but I wrapped them in buns.
Mayura lent me a hand.
Really? I wanna see! Lemme take a look.
I can't. It isn't appropriate for the school festival.
Suzuhara, that's adorable!
Jeez! Give that back!
300 yen
Izumiko, that's so cute!
You look great!
It's super cute!
You're like a Chinese girl!
I only did this since I'm wearing that hat...
Hey, that's cool!
Our class theme is "Overthrow the Upperclassmen." We can do anything we want!
Did you hear?
Class 1-A's booth is based on the Tenshou Boy Ambassadors Who Went West.
What do you say? Would you like a slice of sponge cake?
It is scrumptious.
Would you like to try some sponge cake, which originated in Portugal?
Try one of these and you can taste another country's—
The real battle will be decided during the school festival.
Japanese History Society
Hello!
If it isn't Suzuhara!
Please check out our exhibition.
We're using a bunch of the data we gathered in Togakushi!
Actual Ninja Life During the Warring States Period
Popularity forecasts?
Right, right!
In other words, we're gathering and controlling information.
After all, that's what ninja did during the Warring States Period.
But these "forecasts" seem like gambling...
That's our little secret!
Festival Director Hayakawa is the one behind these forecasts.
Tenshou Boy Play
Is that right...?
Excuse me! You wouldn't happen to be Suzuhara, would you?
Uh, yes, that's me.
None of us want to be the princess!
The princess? For the middle school parade?
Why not?
Anyone who dresses up as the princess will get cursed!
Does this have to do with why that model didn't attend the costume demonstration?
Suzuhara, nothing happened to you, even though you dressed up for the costume demo, right?
Nothing strange happened...
Could you be the princess in today's Warring States Parade?
What?!
We've kept pictures of you from the demonstration as good luck charms,
but we're still really scared...
Wait a moment! I can't fill in like this!
Hey! What do you middle schoolers think you're doing?
The executive committee is holding a meeting in just a minute.
You can't just drag her away like this.
Sagara...
You thought you could push this job onto Suzuhara, didn't you?
You can get by without a princess if you have to!
Don't you feel pathetic, knowing that those younger girls were trying to take advantage of you?
But...
Don't let them walk all over you!
And here you did anything the Himegami wanted...
Stop right there!
Do you have any idea how she dragged me around by the nose?!
I desperately fought to bring you back!
Excuse me.
Do you happen to know where I could change his diaper?
Oh, sure do!
Please use the Administrative Tower.
If you leave this building, you'll find it to your left.
If you don't mind—
G-Give that back!
No, no! You know better than that. Give it back.
I'm sorry about that.
No, it's fine.
Wh-What?! What's so funny?
Nothing. You're just so different.
The Himegami scared the crap out of me the other night,
but you're nothing like her at all!
It was an even bigger shock for me, you know.
Just for the record, the Himegami hasn't just been showing up on a whim.
She comes to prevent calamity,
not out from a desire to bring it about.
She only possesses you when she has something dire to say.
So you'd rather spend time with the Himegami instead of me?
I never said that!
If I wanted to keep you as the Himegami,
do you think I would've gone to the castle ruins and fought to bring you back?
But you did go on a date with her, didn't you?
The two of you had some nice chemistry!
Why the hell are you snapping at me?
Forget it! Mayura is far more understanding.
Wait! What's that supposed to mean?
Did you tell her about—
Just so you know, I don't like it when you talk about other girls!
I do not like when you speak of other women.
Suzuhara, have you ever considered that you and the Himegami might be one and the same?
What are you talking about?
Nah, it's nothing... Forget it.
Student Council
I imagine Director Hayakawa would be less than pleased if we ran the parade without a princess.
But we should respect that participants' wishes first and foremost.
You have a point.
Moving on!
Just this morning, we've had five or six people get sick in the Horror House.
They're resting in the infirmary, just to be safe.
What in the world? Did they make it too horrifying?
We checked it out, and they seem to have kept it fairly tame.
I'm not sure I can trust your opinion on the matter.
What? Then why don't you check it out?!
No way in hell!
Um, I can investigate...
Really? I'd appreciate it if you did.
Damn you, Sagara! You stole my chance to play hero!
So the Prez can't stand ghosts, huh?
Then I'll try talking to the middle schoolers about the parade.
Looks like we've got the right people on the right jobs. Thanks.
The only people to get sick were women?
And the middle schoolers mentioned that "curse."
This smells fishy, doesn't it?
Do you think it's Takayanagi?
It's too soon to say.
Sagara!
Be sure to look after her while you're at it!
Yeah.
Let's go.
Horror House
Haunted Hachiouji
Suzuhara, wait outside.
Huh? But...
There is no need for you to go inside when we know that something isn't right.
I'll be back in a bit.
Careful on your way back
The Tragedy of Hachiouji Castle's Fall
Suzuhara?
I knew it was you!
Um, may I take your picture as a memento?
Huh? Um—
C'mon, Suzuhara, let my pal take his picture with you!
Nah, it's okay. I don't have to be in it with her.
I just want a picture of Suzuhara!
You looked great in that princess dress at the costume demo, but this has its own charm.
I have some executive committee work to attend to!
Suzuhara, wait!
Why did they want my picture?
I could understand if it were Mayura...
Oh, jeez!
Let's keep moving.
Milady...
Thank goodness! This is where you went.
Milady, hurry!
The enemy will be here any minute now.
You had best hurry!
Please hurry!
This is the way.
Stop it. I don't want to go!
If only Lord Ujiteru were here...
This never would have come to pass!
Lord Ujiteru?
Let go!
Milady! Milady! Milady!
Milady, hurry! Milady! Milady!
Sagara!
Milady, this way! Milady!
Sagara!
Milady! Milady! Milady!
Sagara!
I've caught you!
Episode 10
The First School Festival
Horror House
Haunted Hachiouji
Careful on your way back
Suzuhara!
S-Sorry.
What did you see in there?
I'm not mad about you ditching me, so tell me what happened.
I think I saw my first ghosts.
You didn't defend yourself, did you?
Why didn't you use the Kuji I taught you?
Because I felt bad for those people.
Unbelievable.
What was that?
Something to help you feel better.
It's called a "Mudra."
Thank you. I think it worked.
Let's go to the infirmary.
But I'm fine now.
I never said it was for you.
We're continuing the investigation.
What's going on here...?
Don't tell me...
I need to step out for a minute.
Time and time again...
Why are you incapable of behaving like a decent human being?!
I'm volunteering my time for free.
Don't give me that crap!
You were crying, weren't you, Izumiko?
What happened?
Uh, well...
Was Miyuki to blame?
Not at all!
I was just a little startled.
I was in the Horror House, and I saw these ghost-looking things...
In short, Miyuki was of absolutely no help whatsoever. Isn't that right?
That's not what I meant!
I don't think they meant me any harm...
But now I know I didn't handle the situation well.
Listen carefully, Izumiko.
If you blindly sympathize with them, you're not helping anyone at all.
Sympathize?
It means you felt sorry for the ghosts.
At times the Heavens are made to move, the earth hearkens, and fortune slips rustle in the wind.
I feel different!
We don't need a halfwit "protecting" the Himegami!
You think you can get away with anything as long as you do it "to protect the Himegami"?!
You make me sick!
If you don't make the most of every chance you get, you're screwed.
She will be highly guarded upon entering the public eye.
You are only allowed to interact with Izumiko in person while she is attending this academy.
What are you talking about?!
Sagara, that contradicts what you said the other day!
You said that the Himegami chose Miyuki.
Sometimes the Himegami has to start over.
It's not as though she can see everything.
And who said that?
Yukariko.
I'll be sure to protect Izumiko.
Sagara, you go too far when teasing Miyuki!
Wait!
Please! Please talk to me!
I fully understand that you're angry.
I totally get that it's my fault that Sagara said what he did!
But I don't want you to avoid me because of it.
I won't avoid you.
It's obvious what his motive is.
But he still pisses me off.
What are you doing?
I'm just so relieved...
I wonder why you're so different from the Himegami, Suzuhara.
I don't know myself.
Yukimasa doesn't really know you all that well.
But as much as I hate to admit it, I can't say the same for me.
I'll put some more thought into it.
Should I consider that reasonable or tough?
When a dark horse fails to show up, honestly, I find it hard to call this "entertainment" worth my while.
Hayakawa!
I'd like you to make this crystal clear.
Why exactly were you holding popularity forecasts?
Oh, you knew about that?
Don't underestimate me.
I'm allowed to have a bit of fun, aren't I?
They were just forecasts!
"Fun," you say? You're the Festival Director!
Poll Results Booth Division
Class 1-A got top score in the booth division...
I did it as an individual, and I only got my personal friends involved.
Great job, everyone!
Souda, how was the parade?
But if the Director is involved, it looks like an official event!
The tail end just reached the grounds.
It went without a hitch.
Wonderful!
Well, it's time I announced the results!
Congratulations! Your booth came out on top.
Now Class 1-A's spotlight has completely shifted to Takayanagi, since he organized the booth.
I was well aware of the risks when I chose the executive committee,
but I can't help but think that I drew the short straw.
That only holds true for your class, right?
It's hard to say.
I imagine Takayanagi will be chosen to serve as the main army's general for the mock battle tomorrow.
Souda!
I'm sorry, but could you accompany me to the Broadcasting Room?
Huh? Me?
The Director probably has some questions about the parade.
Suzuhara, you're welcome to come too, if you'd like.
Well, the Warring States Parade presented by the middle school students was truly amazing.
It really made this feel like a Warring States Festival!
It earned a bunch of comments in the popularity poll!
Our visitors were delighted by the parade. They did a great job.
By the way, Souda...
Aren't you extremely popular with the middle school girls?
They view you as someone to look up to!
Really? Who's saying that?
I know this is sudden,
but all of the middle school girls from the parade have a favor to ask of you!
What?
Souda Mayura, thank you for today!
Please drop your black attire and serve as the middle school's Princess General
for the defending army in tomorrow's mock battle!
Please be our Princess General!
Wait just one minute! I can't agree to something like this here!
It's part of my surprise plan!
As a member of the executive committee, I can't have this!
I'm well aware.
But if we don't have a princess in the game,
that would hurt my festival committee's good name!
If you don't want to go, Suzuhara could.
What?!
If you're gonna drag Suzuhara into this, I'll be your princess!
That gives you one more thing to look forward to in tomorrow's battle!
This broadcast was brought to you by Festival Director Hayakawa Yoshiki!
This is true for Kisaragi as well,
but pretty ladies are scary when they're angry!
I'd like to know what you're thinking, Director.
I believe that my actions should have earned your gratitude, Souda.
And why should I be grateful?
Because I can see the future.
Takayanagi Ichijou will be the one in control of the attacking army tomorrow.
As such, wouldn't serving as general of the defending army be the best possible position for you?
No way... It couldn't be...
Better believe it.
Aw, you guys pulled a fast one on me!
This isn't fair at all, Dad!
Dad?
Um, in other words, does this mean that you're actually from Togakushi, Director Hayakawa?
Yep.
This is the first time I've actually experienced the saying,
"If you're going to deceive the enemy, start with your allies."
Thanks, though.
You're our princess, Souda!
But all I can do is help set the stage.
Takayanagi has undoubtedly set some sort of trap here on campus.
Be careful!
I will.
Mayura? Is your meeting for the defending army—
Masumi?!
Bingo!
What are you doing here? They didn't summon you or anything!
I'm always with them, even when they haven't summoned me.
I said that back in Nagano, remember?
It's just, when I catch a glimpse of you, I get the urge to flirt!
Masumi, you haven't changed a bit since Togakushi!
Is it safe to assume you still share the same relationship with Mayura and Manatsu as before?
What do you mean by that?
Do you still love them like you used to?
Oh, that's what you meant!
We we love someone, we want to see that person or learn more about that person, right?
Suzuhara, do you have a boyfriend?
No, I don't. Why?
Let's say I found some wandering souls and thought, "These guys can't say as they are."
You know how I'd eat them, right?
That would count as a type of love, wouldn't it?
Huh? I'm not so sure about that...
Since I don't mind becoming one with those souls,
doesn't it mean that I don't hate them?
I suppose...
If you welcome them into yourself out of compassion, then that may be love...
Phew! I'm glad I interpreted it the right way!
I was having a hard time following Mayura, but I feel better now!
Mayura?
We had some dissonance, but nothing big.
Dissonance?
Isn't Shinkou coming over for a strategy meeting in a bit?
I'm going to take off for now.
When those two summon me, I like to make a big entrance!
Also, I can sense the presence of a curse on campus.
But I can disperse it in a jiffy!
Wait, Masumi!
Somebody calls me
From somewhere they call me
From far away that gentle sound drifts near and pulls my heart away
Tell me something,
for a premonition pains me
Do the feelings I don't understand yet
start to grow?
I dreamed of freedom
and yet keep hesitating about it
With a tiny voice
I prayed that I could
laugh together with everyone
Stay away!
Otherwise... everyone will get caught!
