The Fool and Slumber Maniac, Mare, appeared desiring the Reiji Maigo.
Yoshida falls into a crisis; however her affection for Yuji saves all.
The existence of a Keeper on the Reiji Maigo is revealed.
And, the girl who transferred to Yuji's class resembled the Master Throne, Hecate.
Let me introduce a transfer student.
This is Konoe Fumina-kun.
Until she gets used to it here, make sure you all take care of her.
The Master Throne, Hecate!
Fuzetsu!
Sakai-kun, Shana-chan.
Yoshida-san!
How?
I always carry this, something Khamsin-san gave me.
But, why this all of a sudden?
Well...
What is this about?
She's stopped.
If she doesn't move within the Fuzetsu...
She... Konoe-san, was it?
Is there something with her?
She looks exactly the same as one of the members of Bal Masqué that came to Misaki City before.
The Master Throne, Hecate.
She's the one that was making the fountain of existence using Yuji.
Using Sakai-kun?
Then is she here again for him?
No, if she really was Hecate, then she wouldn't possibly have stopped inside the Fuzetsu.
But...
She looks far too similar.
Alastor. What's the probability of a Tomogara being able to imitate a human this well?
I can't say absolutely none,
but none within my knowledge.
I see.
Shana.
I can't phrase it well, but I don't sense the feeling I got when I was near Hecate.
Even though her face is really similar.
Same for me.
But...
...it's impossible for a girl who looks this identical to her to come to this city where you are.
That's true, but...
We can't keep the Fuzetsu up forever.
We'll have to stay cautious for a while.
Hirai, is something wrong?
Nothing.
Okay.
Konoe Fumina-kun has been living abroad since she was young and just came back to Japan recently.
I'm sure she'll have trouble getting used to life here.
Make sure you all help her out.
Yes.
Konoe, the furthest seat back is open, so go sit there.
Konoe, not there. The furthest back.
I'll sit here.
But...
I want here.
W-What?
Sensei!
Well, it's her first day...
Fine. Sugano, switch seats with her.
She came next to Yuji on purpose.
All right, let's start class.
Let's see where we left off yesterday...
Oh, you still don't have the textbooks?
No, they're in my bag.
Then, take them out.
I take them out myself?
If you don't take them out, then who will?
I see.
Um, Konoe-san.
Oh well. Sakai, give her a hand.
Yes...
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
What's this?
My butler gave it to me to cover the desktop.
She's a unique girl.
This looks interesting.
Hey, Satou. School started long ago.
A little more...
You don't have to hang out with your boss every night like it's your duty, youngsters.
You're absolutely right, but...
I sense a really sneaky presence in the city.
A Tomogara?
Pretty much.
But there are three Flame Haze in this city, so if it's smart, it'll sense us and run away.
If it comes, I'll kill...
All right...
I wonder if a Flame Haze that'll entertain me is here.
Everyone! The PE class we're about to have, it's been switched so that guys are on the field and girls are in the gym.
Okay.
Yuji. Keep your guard up.
We're not sure that it's not her yet.
Yeah.
Konoe-san.
Do you have your gym clothes?
Yes.
You're not going to ask, "Do I need to change myself?" are you?
No, I only need assistance for changing.
"Assistance"? Are you a princess from somewhere?
You're really hilarious.
Okay, I'll help you, so let's go to the locker.
Kazumi!
Yeah.
She really does resemble her.
I wish there was a way to confirm for sure.
But I don't sense any presence of a Tomogara.
Think.
Speaking of presences, why are you ignoring one?
What?
The Tomogara at the edge of the city.
You know it's there, right?
I'll let it be for now.
There's Hecate to worry about now.
But it's good that you noticed.
She complimented me.
But why is she leaving it alone?
Is it all right to?
All right, raise your arms.
Coming down.
Don't move.
Okay, good job.
I can't believe she's a Tomogara.
But if she is...
If she is a Tomogara,
then she's here after Sakai-kun, as well?
Go, go!
I thought the normal days were back, but where Sakai-kun stands is...
...isn't a place so simple.
And I should have known that.
Watch out, Kazumi!
Are you all right?
I'm sorry.
Are you hurt anywhere?
Ah...
Thank you.
Um, Konoe-san.
Yes?
In the morning, when you were deciding your seat, you said you wanted the seat next to Sakai-kun, right?
I was wondering why.
Sakai-kun?
You don't remember? He sits next to you.
Sakai-kun...
It's fine if you don't remember.
I'm sorry. It's just that...
...I thought that you might have known Sakai-kun from somewhere.
You coming to this school wasn't by chance, but because Sakai-kun is here-
Konoe-san?
I guess they're just overthinking this.
Konoe-san, it's lunchtime.
Yes, so I've been waiting.
For what?
For lunch.
Are you waiting for it to be brought to you?
C'mon, Konoe-san! That doesn't happen in school!
It won't appear no matter how much you wait for it, so let's go buy some.
I'll go to the school store, too.
What's wrong?
Together.
I have a bento.
I see.
Looks like she's taken a liking to you.
Let's go, Konoe-san.
I can't believe her. What kind of lifestyle does she live?
Sakai-kun, I don't think Konoe-san can be one.
Yeah, me, too.
She could be putting on an act.
What are you talking about?
No, um...
You guys!
Showing up at this late a time again.
Calm down.
Rather than that, the girl we just walked past is a transfer student?
Yeah.
Oh right!
Margery-san! Margery-san!
Please pick up! Margery-san!
Hey, you have a call.
Keep it down.
What?!
We don't have to rely on the Interpreter of Condolence.
But Margery-san's a specialist in unrestricted spells, right?
I guess a different perspective is important, too.
I think it's perfect to use one here.
There they are.
I can smell you all.
The recommended ones here are croquet bread, curry bread, and...
Huh?
So they are in Japan, too.
Do you live here?
No wonder the midget suspects her.
Man, this is a surprise.
They look identical.
Only the face, though.
I don't sense anything like her.
But, let's check just in case.
You never know until you get married.
The wife's elbow and knee.
How about we glue them together?!
Where are you all going?
Konoe-san!
So this is where you were.
The bread would have sold out, so I picked a few out and bought them.
Thank you very much.
No reaction.
She didn't even notice that an unrestricted spell was used.
The rest is for the midget to confirm.
An unrestricted spell.
I've found you.
She didn't get caught by Margery-san's test, so Konoe-san can't be Hecate.
Still, we can't loosen our guard since it's related to her.
I can't feel safe unless I get something absolute.
Not that it matters so much, but why are you letting so much of your power leak out as you walk?
That Tomogara is coming close, too.
So isn't it dangerous to let it be?
Yuji.
Go on home.
But-
Go.
Shana?
I see, so you'll get rid of Sakai Yuji, huh?
I know he'll get in my way.
Since it is a brutal method.
So you live there?
This is the perfect place.
Looks like it's noticed us.
It's coming.
I'll test and make it clear if you're the Master Throne, Hecate, or not.
Hecate?
Fuzetsu!
I've found you! You Flame Haze!
So you'll put up a fight?
But can you beat me?
This Debris of the Dashing Crook, Cache-sama!
Never heard the name before.
And it doesn't know us either.
Must be a newborn.
That's right. I'm working on making myself famous.
That's what happens when you touch my rings, Cordey.
How...
At your level, no one will pay any attention to you.
In any world, small fries always exist.
That's what you get for underestimating me.
Crap, I forgot to ask her name.
I can't brag about it now.
Then I'll tell you.
I'm the Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed Hunter.
And the name is Shana!
Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed...
So... you're the Flame of Heaven's...
Oh, so you at least knew the title.
I've got to heal myself.
My wound... My arm...
I need power of existence...
Shana!
Shana?
If it's Hecate, she won't let herself get eaten.
We'll find out everything in no time.
You're doing this for that?
Power... Power of existence...
Shana, haven't you had enough?
Konoe-san's a human!
Shana!
I can't let it happen!
Blood.
So she is a human.
Yeah.
So you used that Tomogara to check Konoe-san.
I figured the reason he wouldn't come at us or go away is that he couldn't pinpoint where the Interpreter of Condolence or I were.
But as I thought, when the Interpreter of Condolence casted an unrestricted spell on Konoe Fumina,
or when I was walking, leaking power of existence out, he took the bait.
You didn't think "what if" over Konoe-san getting eaten?
I did save her, didn't I?
Still...
If I hadn't done this, we couldn't even relax and train.
Wilhelmina's waiting today, too.
So you'd better be ready.
Yes...
Was that all right, Chief?
Yes, it's perfect.
All is going well.
Yes, all is going well, Fecor.
I see. So Konoe-san isn't a Tomogara after all.
Yeah. One of those accidental resemblances.
I'm glad.
Now we can relax and-
Ah, Konoe-san.
Good morning.
I need to get ready for class.
But Konoe-san, you should slow down a little and take them out slowly.
Isn't this a bird feather?
Feather?
Yeah.
Huh? It won't come off.
Can you tilt your head towards me?
What is this?
Shana resolves the suspicions regarding Konoe Fumina,
But every time she sees her standing next to me, a different emotion wells up in her.
The same applies to Yoshida Kazumi, as well.
The two girls become agitated over emotions they've never experienced.
Next time on Shakugan no Shana Second.
Melancholy Girls.
