Shana, suspecting Konoe Fumina to be the Highest Throne, Hecate,
took a very close gamble in front of an attacking Tomogara.
Despite being faced with personal
danger, Fumina remained completely frozen,
and was thus finally cleared of suspicion.
However, at the sight of Fumina getting close to Yuuji,
Shana's heart has started to ache.
Konoe-san, I'll be coming to pick you up every morning for now,
so if you encounter trouble of any sort, just tell me.
There's no need to hold back.
All right, thank you very much.
Konoe...
Are you having trouble again?
It looks like you need someone to attend to you.
Me?
You're probably the most suited for the job.
Konoe, go and sit next to Ike.
What's wrong? Aren't you going?
I still don't get why it has to be Yuuji.
It couldn't be helped.
She got attached to me somehow.
Until she gets used to life here, we'll
have to follow her around and help her out.
Morning! Yoshida-san.
Good morning, Sakai-kun, Shana-chan.
Morning.
Morning, Konoe-san.
Good morning.
Could it be that you were specially waiting for us?
Well, I'm also responsible for helping Konoe-san, after all,
but left it to you to pick her up...
About that, I already said you didn't have to worry about it.
Your house is in the other direction, after all.
But...
Leave the accompanying to and from school to me.
In exchange, please handle the girl matters.
All right.
If we don't keep going, we'll be late for class.
Well then, shall we go?
All right.
Why is Physical Education...
...pool cleaning?
Beats me.
Well, it beats being at a desk, anyway.
Konoe-san! Don't!
That was dangerous.
Oga-chan.
Why are you...slacking!
See, hold the brush like this, then firmly push it forward...
Wait, Oga-chan!
Nowhere to run, huh...
I'm going to return the favor!
If you can do it, go ahead and try!
Eat this!
Oh look, I'm over here!
Dammit!
Tanaka!
Dang!
Watch out!
So it's katsuobushi again today, huh?
Do you like it a lot?
Yes.
Katsuobushi onigiri...are delicious.
Aren't you lucky, Sakai!
Having two bento to eat and all.
What's the matter?
Want it?
Yes.
You can't, Konoe-san.
That's what Kazumi made for Sakai-kun, you see.
It's fine. I don't really mind.
In that case, just a bit then.
It's delicious.
Could it be that...you want this too?
Yes.
Is it okay?
I gave it to you, so you can do what you want with it.
Then...here, take it.
Alright then, Yoshida-san, see you tomorrow.
Yup.
Is this alright?
To just watch them go off.
Ike-kun...
You said it...That you were one of her helpers.
A helper, huh...
Why is even Yoshida Kazumi here?
It's always just Yuuji and me.
That shop...it's about to open, isn't it?
Sure looks like it. Opening tomorrow, huh...
It looks interesting, why don't we grab Ike after school tomorrow
and all come here?
Sure.
Huge Helpings Heaven...
Huh? Konoe Fumina's gone.
There she is!
Konoe-san! Wait up!
Don't just go as you please.
Everyone's doing this because we're
trying to make you feel welcome, you know.
Be aware of that.
Shana-chan.
I'm sorry.
You...
You don't need to get so angry...
Yuuji...
Eh? What is it?
Why a place like this...
Amazing...
So there was nothing suspicious about the transfer student after all, huh.
Yup. She's probably the most harmless kid in our school.
Ah I see. And how about your end?
You should've gotten a reply from Autorou, right?
No news of the Bal Masque restarting
their operations has been received there.
Dan-gerous.
A coincidental resemblance to one of them...
To actually send Hecate alone to the doorstep of Flame Hazes...
Even Bel-Peol wouldn't do that.
That is...
Well, I can understand being careful
because of the Kaikin on the Reiji Maigo.
Um...what exactly is Autorou?
They are places for the exchange of information among us Flame Hazes.
A support establishment.
They're rare places where Flame Hazes, who
normally hate to crowd together, will gather.
Indeed, but that aside...
Is it really alright for you to be sitting around here?
The little kid and the Mistes boy should
be in the midst of training right now, no?
If it is merely once in a while, there is no problem.
So you've started to recognize Yuuji's abilities.
To the barest extent.
So today, anywhere and everywhere,
it's time to kick back and relax, huh...
That Sakai...so he's training with a Flame Haze as an opponent.
Shana! Isn't this harsher than usual?
Useless talk wins no battles!
Why...am I so...
Sakai Yuuji.
Can you sense the flow of movements in the pulsing of power?
Oww...
Still some way to go, huh.
Sakai Yuuji.
Your senses are extraordinarily keen.
And you conceal a power of existence that rivals a King of Guze's.
With such progress in your growth,
we may have discovered a path that is different
from a mere Torch's, or even a mere Mistes's.
You must strive for it!
A new path?
Indeed. A path only you can tread.
You can become strong, you know.
If you persevere, you'll surely...
If you don't get led astray by unnecessary things.
Huge Helpings Heaven.
So it's this place, huh...
It's rare to have Satou and Tanaka come out with us, isn't it.
The moment we heard Huge Helpings, we couldn't just ignore it.
A huge helping of curry for you!
A huge helping of katsudon for you!
A huge helping of ramen for you!
And a second huge helping of ramen for you!
This place really knows how to do things...
No deficiencies in my opponent!
Sakai, let us battle!
I don't really get it, but I--
Shana-chan, are you really going to eat that by yourself?
How about yourselves? There's no meaning
in sharing it between three people.
For us, this is really more than enough, though...
Hey you two, don't overdo it.
GOOOO!! Don't stop gorging!!
What the heck are they trying...
They finished at same time!
Awesome!
Sakai-kun...
Shit...a draw?
Huh?
What's wrong?
Well, Konoe-san's...
Konoe-san's disappeared.
Did you find her?
No, she wasn't there.
I thought she might have been in the restroom...
She must have wandered off...
In any case, let's go search!
There's no need for that.
Shana?
Why do you have to go searching?
Why, you ask...I'm her helper.
This is not school.
But we were heading back from school, weren't we?
And I had agreed to accompany her to and from school.
I already warned her not to go as she wanted,
but now she's disappeared without a word.
And even then, there's still a need to search for her?
Shana...
I'm going home.
Wait up! Shana!
What are you angry about?
I'm not angry.
Yes, you are.
I am not!
I just...
Just...what?
That girl...you should leave her alone.
Why must I do something like that?
After all, we already know she's not a Tomogara...
It's not about that.
I...
Shana?
That's enough!
It's my fault for taking my eyes off her.
Nah, you're blaming yourself too much.
Let's all split up and search.
Yeah.
Perhaps she's...
Konoe-san!
What happened?
Did you...rescue this from that stray cat?
It's all right now.
She's...really like her.
You're...
Next is to puree the carrots.
Am I...jealous?
This feeling...it's horrible.
Shana sure is late...
That person will not be coming.
From tonight onwards, I will serve as your training opponent.
It looks like you like the nest box.
Shana-san isn't with us.
That's true.
She didn't turn up to train me this morning either...
I wonder if she's still angry...
But why...?
Morning, Yoshida-san!
Good morning.
Good...morning.
Morning.
Shana!
Shana...
Here.
Yoshida-san said she had a library committee meeting, you see.
Shana-chan.
Shana...what's really happened with her?
Shana, whose emotions continue to be agitated by Fumina.
Wilhelmina, who is perplexed by Shana's behavior.
Because of a small conflict, Shana's anger is kindled.
Unable to do anything,
Wilhelmina seeks advice from Yuuji's mother, Chigusa.
Next time on Shana of the Blazing Eyes:
The family dining table.
