The unusual, aristocratically-raised Konoe Fumina.
Yuuji, assigned to attend to her.
The sight of Fumina inexplicably staying close to Yuuji
stirs up Shana's and Yoshida's feelings more and more.
However, the two are unable to change anything about their situation,
so they simply continue to endure it.
Owww...
Huh? It doesn't hurt.
No injuries either.
It appears that you are steadily learning
to control your power of existence.
A strengthening body.
Controlling my power of existence...
Thank you for the training today.
What has Shana been doing?
You should be seeing her in school.
Every day.
Do you know why she might not be coming to training?
I've asked, but she doesn't give an answer.
All I am sure of is that she is not free to come. I have not heard why.
Futile inquiries.
I...see.
I will see you tomorrow, then.
He dodged what should have been a decisive blow.
Fell immediately after.
That was certainly clumsy...
But still...
It does seem quite possible that his abilities
suddenly increase when he is under stress.
It is ready.
The appointed time.
This again?
In the pursuit of convenience and preparation speed,
this option indeed remains the best.
Simplicity and convenience.
However, having this for days on end does not
provide the variety that humans crave, I believe.
That is...something unnecessary to us.
Are you not going to eat it?
Taking a bath.
Wait up, Shana!
What're you so angry about?
I'm not angry.
Yes you are.
No I'm not!
I...just...
So you are tossing your clothes around again.
I am not impressed by your leaving everything to others.
Orderliness.
I got it.
No, you do not get it at all.
I said, I got it.
How long do you intend to leave the training of the Mistes to me?
Without a reason or explanation, merely not wanting to go...
I don't want to go, so I'm not going!
Shouting will not change anything.
Evading reality.
Yesterday, the day before yesterday, and even
now, simply speaking loudly like that will not...
I said...
I said I got it, didn't I!
And you're so naggy! Horribly naggy!
About the clothes, and about Yuuji, I already said I got it,
but you still keep going on and on and on!
Won't you come in for some tea?
After all, you've recently been coming here so early in the morning.
Madam, please do not trouble yourself over me.
This is really very routine for me.
Still...
Don't force it, Mum.
Carmel-san has her own schedule, after all.
True...
Alright, I'm off to Konoe-san's place.
Bye!
Okay, see you later!
I shall also take my leave.
Please don't stand on ceremony.
Good morning, Sakai-sama.
This morning, the mistress is a little late in her preparation.
And you have even come all the way here to pick her up.
My deepest apologies for this.
No, not at all...
I think she will be coming along any minute now, so please come in and wait.
Oh-- I'm just fine here.
Please do not say that. Do come in.
This way.
Originally, I was going to send her to school myself,
but now that you come every morning to receive her,
I am extremely grateful.
Please don't worry about it.
In any case, I have training, so I have to wake up early anyway.
Training...you say?
Ahh, no, it was nothing.
Good morning!
It looked amazing from the outside, but the
inside of your house was really impressive too.
Really?
Ah, right, since your family is
aristocratic, you probably find it normal.
Speaking of which, you probably wouldn't
be very surprised by Satou's house...
Satou-san?
Yes, that guy in our class.
You know, the one who came along with us to Huge Helpings Heaven.
It's alright, take your time remembering.
If it's about you, I remember.
Really? I'm glad you do.
Modern Literature textbook...
Eh...notebook...
You should be okay on your own now, right?
Right, Yoshida-san?
Uh -- yes.
I'm not entirely ready.
R...Really?
Then just ask if you don't understand
anything, since we don't need to rush this.
Oh, hard at work, eh, Sakai?
I just asked you to help her out, but it looks
like it's actually quite a major job, huh?
Seems like you're always busy attending to her,
from morning all the way till she goes home.
Oh, no, it's not just me,
Yoshida-san's also helping.
Ah, yes, that's right.
And it's not just within the school either.
It must be tough on you to accompany her to and from school, Yoshida.
Your house is in the opposite direction as Konoe's, isn't it?
About that...
I didn't think that far when I assigned you to help... Sorry about that.
Hmm... Ogata, you live nearer to her, don't you?
Why don't you switch with Yoshida?
Sure. If no one minds.
Yoshida, is that alright with you?
Yes.
Alright then, start helping Sakai out with Konoe right away, okay?
Everyone else, don't act like it's none of your
business just because you weren't assigned to help.
Okay.
It is indeed a bargain.
A suitable discount.
Hey, Sakai.
What's been up with Shana and Yoshida lately?
They're usually always...
I wouldn't know... Maybe they have something they need to talk about?
It doesn't look like it, though.
It's not because she had an argument with you, right?
They still give you bento every day.
Um, if it's fine with you, can I have this and this?
Oh...go ahead.
I'm being...too concerned about Konoe-san?
You may say that, but just look at what she's like.
I can't just leave her alone either, can I?
I'm not saying that.
Just pay more attention to your surroundings...
In any case, you're being too concerned about her.
Ike?
Welcome, welcome!
Cabbage, green peppers, bok choy, we have it all!
Welcome, miss!
Everything's cheap, super cheap!
All fresh and great value for money!
Oh, so you want cabbage?
Boiled, fried, or raw, it's good every way!
If you want, it's also great for making a cabbage roll!
How about it? You're so pretty, I'll let you have it for free!
Cooking.
Why, if it isn't Carmel-san!
Oh, welcome ma'am! Thanks for your patronage!
Madam.
What's wrong? Is there something bothering you?
No, there is nothing in particular.
I'm sorry if I'm meddling.
Is it about Shana-chan? Perhaps?
It's on my mind as well.
She doesn't come to our place any more.
I've asked Yuuji why, but it seems like he doesn't know either.
Madam...
With regard to meals, it is not right to
think of them purely economically, is it?
That's right.
If that were true, we wouldn't have so many types of cuisines, would we?
If humans cannot be satisfied with eating merely for nutrition...
Indeed.
By changing the presentation, changing the flavors, and putting in some time,
you can make enjoyable meals every single day, in my opinion.
Carmel-san.
Yes?
Would you like to come to my place?
Oh, Oga-chan!
Don't have club stuff going on today, do you? Want to go off with us?
Ahh, sorry, no can't do!
Why?
Ogata-san, it's about time to go.
Ah, okay! I'll be right there.
I've inherited the position of Konoe-san's attendant, you see.
When I don't have club activities, I really ought to help out.
I...I see.
Bye then.
Shall we go?
Y...Yeah.
You're not going home yet?
What about yourself?
It's strange.
This feeling again...
It hurts so much... What a horrible feeling.
I don't get it.
I don't mean to be angry, but I can't suppress my irritation.
I don't know what Yuuji's doing, but I'm getting mad.
...yes, there!
There
...there, there...
Good...so good!
Is that how you want it?
My hands are completely aching.
Surely you can go a bit longer...
At least till I finish this glass.
How many times have I heard that already?
And do Flame Hazes really get stiff shoulders?
It can't be stiffness!
It's just that your massaging feels great!
That's right.
Come on, if your hands are aching, can't you switch with Eita?
That guy's not back yet.
Eh? Why?
Dunno.
He escaped, huh?
It looks like that guy's gotten a little smarter.
Go ahead, keep accompanying this pleasure-seeker Margery Daw...
You might not survive it, though--
Ow! That bloody hurt!
Shut up, you idiot Marcho!
Konoe-san moved into that mansion, didn't she?
They couldn't find a buyer for it, so it's been empty for a long time.
Is that so?
I was inside for a while this morning, but it didn't feel that old.
It was a bit creepy to see so many empty rooms...
Come on, it's just Konoe-san and her butler living there, right?
In that case, there's no way they could use up all the rooms.
That's true, but...
It still felt like...something was strange, or out of place...
Y...Yo! What a coincidence...
Did you guys just leave Konoe-san's house?
Did you come to see me because you were concerned?
W-What are you talking about? I just happened to be nearby.
S-So, you didn't go to Satou's place today.
Yeah, sort of...
This is...
Wilhelmina...
Wilhelmina! Are you here?
Wilhelmina?
Wilhelm-
Welcome home.
Preparations for the meal will be done shortly.
The meal?
Homemade, you mean?
Of course.
An enjoyable meal that, with one mouthful,
will make the eater break into a smile.
Nourishing the spirit.
There is no need to worry. I have undergone special training.
Did her training not mention the need for proper ventilation?
I'm home!
Welcome back, Yuu-chan!
What happened here?!
There was a bit of a failure.
Even Mum...failed...
My apologies for the wait.
W-Wilhelmina Carmel,
what in Guze is this dish?
It is a cabbage roll.
A cabbage roll?
The cutting of the cabbage, the blending of the
meat, the seasonings, the stewing conditions...
I applied all the recipes and added in my own effort.
A promising flavor.
Applied...
Eat up... I hope it will help you feel better.
How is it?
It's bitter. Some parts don't have any flavor.
But you made it for me, so it's tasty.
Shana...is still angry, isn't she.
Tomorrow, maybe I should try to really speak to her.
And even Ike...
Pay attention to my surroundings, huh...
A study group for upcoming tests begins to meet at Satou's home.
The usual members assemble.
Shana and Yoshida, both harboring feelings for Yuuji.
Ogata, thinking of Tanaka.
For the three troubled girls,
The Composer of Elegies, Margery Daw, takes drastic, decisive action.
Next time on Shana of the Blazing Eyes Second:
Trial's Eve.
