Konoe Fumina, who was raised like a princess,
and Yuji, who takes care of her.
For some reason, Fumina does not leave Yuji's side.
That disturbs Shana and Yoshida's emotions greatly,
and neither can rid themselves of it, only struggle against it.
Ow...
It actually doesn't hurt.
I'm not injured, either.
You're becoming capable of controlling power of existence little by little ~de arimasu.
Physical reinforcement.
From power of existence?
Thank you very much.
How's Shana doing?
You see her at school ~de arimasu.
Every day.
Do you know the reason why she won't come to training anymore?
She won't tell me even if I ask.
She only told me that "she's occupied" ~de arimasu.
No prying.
I see...
I'll see you tomorrow.
He dodged an attack I intended to hit ~de arimasu.
Fell immediately after.
Indeed, that was a blunder on his part.
However...
...it looked as though he's become capable of reinforcing his physical structure in emergencies.
It's time ~de arimasu.
Appointed time.
This again?
After pursuing ease and speed, I came back to this ~de arimasu.
Simple and convenient.
However, if this continues too long, I think it lacks what humans call "variety".
That's not something we find necessary ~de arimashou.
You won't eat ~de arimasuka?
Taking a bath.
Hold up, Shana!
What are you angry about?
I'm not angry.
Yes, you are.
No, I'm not!
I'm just...
She has left a mess again ~de arimasuka?
It is not admirable to leave everything to others ~de arimasu.
Arrange in order.
I know.
You do not at all ~de arimasu.
I said I do.
How long do you intend to leave the Mystes' training to me ~de arimasuka?
Just saying you don't want to go without any explanation is-
I don't want to go because I don't want to go!
Yelling won't bring any change to the situation ~de arimasu.
Escaping from reality.
Yesterday, the day before yesterday, and even the day before that, too.
You only yell-
I said...
I KNOW!
Besides, you pry too much, Wilhelmina!
Both over clothes and Yuji.
I said I know, and yet you keep nagging and nagging and nagging.
How about some tea?
You've been coming early recently.
Madam, please do not mind.
It is my daily routine ~de arimasukara.
Still...
You shouldn't impose on her more than you have to, Mom.
Carmel-san has her schedule, too.
Right...
I'm stopping by Konoe-san's place.
I'm off.
Have a good day.
Excuse me, too.
I'm sorry I couldn't attend to you at all.
Good morning, Sakai-sama.
Milady is taking a little time this morning to get ready.
I apologize, when you're here to pick her up.
No, it's really fine.
I think she will be ready in a minute.
Please wait inside.
I'll be fine here.
Don't say that please, come in.
This way.
Normally, I should be the one taking her to school every day.
Instead, you come every morning, so I'm very grateful to you.
Please don't worry too much.
I train every morning, so I need to get up early anyway.
Training, you say?
Ah, nothing.
Good morning.
Your house looks amazing from outside, but it's gorgeous inside, too.
You think so?
Oh right. That's normal for you.
Then you probably wouldn't be surprised even if you went to Satou's house.
Satou-san?
Satou from our class.
We went together to eat at the supersize store the other day.
Well, take your time to get to know everyone.
I got to know you, Sakai-san.
Okay. I'm glad you remember me.
Textbook for Contemporary Lit...
And a notebook.
You should be able to do it yourself now.
Don't you think, Yoshida-san?
Eh?
Ah, yes.
I'm not fine yet.
R-Really?
Then don't rush. Ask if you have any problems.
Ah, I see you're at it, Sakai.
Ironic for me to be saying this when I assigned you, but it's not easy having to take care of her, is it?
I hear you're stuck with her from morning to night.
I'm not the only one. I have Yoshida-san with me, too.
Yeah, about that.
Maybe not so much in school, but it must be a lot to ask of you to help walking her to and from school.
Your house is the opposite direction of Konoe's, isn't it?
Well...
I didn't think that much before.
Sorry.
Let's see...
Ogata, you live close to her, don't you?
Can you switch with Yoshida?
S-Sure. If I can help.
Is that fine with you, Yoshida?
Yes.
Then Ogata. Starting today, take care of Konoe with Sakai.
Everyone else, just because you're not in charge, don't act like it's someone else's business.
Yes.
It's very cheap ~de arimasu.
Proportional to cost.
Hey, Sakai. What's happened to those two recently?
They haven't been around these days.
I don't know.
Maybe those two have something to talk about.
They don't look like that to me.
They're not fighting with you, right?
Since they both make your bentos like this every day.
Um, if you don't mind, may I take this and this?
Sure, go ahead.
I'm bothering with Konoe-san too much?
But she's really as you see, so I can't leave her alone.
That's not what I'm saying.
Be considerate of those around you.
Anyway, you're attending to her too much.
Ike?
Hey, come on around! Come on around!
Cabbage, green pepper, napa and other green vegetables.
You've got a selection of good stuff!
Welcome, young lady.
Everything's really cheap. Really cheap.
They're really fresh. You got yourself a bargain.
You want cabbage?
Boil it or stir-fry it or go raw.
Or you can put some effort in and make cabbage rolls.
How about it?
Since you're so beautiful, I'll knock some yen off of it.
Cooking...
My, if it isn't Carmel-san.
Hi, welcome lady. Thanks for coming.
Madam.
Is something making you worry?
No, nothing in particular ~de arimasu.
I'm sorry if I'm meddling.
Could it be regarding... Shana-chan?
I was concerned about it, too, since she hasn't visited in a while.
Even if I ask Yuji, he doesn't seem to know, either.
Madam.
Is practicality not enough for food?
Let's see...
If practicality was the only reason, there wouldn't be this much variety in food.
So humans can't be satisfied with just gaining nutrition?
No.
I believe changing ingredients, changing the taste, and spending time allows us to enjoy the meal every day.
Carmel-san.
Yes?
Would you like to stop by for a while?
Hey, Oga-chan!
You don't have practice today, right?
Let's go home together.
Sorry, can't do.
Why?
Ogata-san, let's go.
Yeah, coming right now.
I've been promoted to be in charge of her.
So I need to help at least on days without practice.
I-I see.
Bye.
Let's go home then.
Y-Yeah.
You still won't go home?
You, too.
This is strange.
It's this feeling again.
It really hurts.
I don't like this feeling.
I don't understand.
I don't have any intention of getting mad, but I feel irritated.
I don't know what Yuji's doing, but it aggravates me.
Aww! Right there!
Yeah, right there!
It feels great. So great!
Is that good enough?
My hands hurt now.
Can't you keep going a little more?
Come on. Only while I finish this one glass.
I've heard that many times now.
Besides, do Flame Haze get stiff shoulders?
Of course not.
She just likes massages.
He's right.
Come on. If your hands hurt, then bring out Eita instead.
He's not here yet.
Why?
I don't know.
He must have run away.
He's wised up.
But, if you seriously get involved with the Seeker of Pleasure, Margery Daw, your body won't last.
Ow!
I said that hurts!
Shut up, stupid Marco!
So Konoe-san moved into that mansion.
No one would buy the mansion, so it was empty for many years.
I didn't know that.
I went inside a little this morning, but it didn't look that old.
Although I noticed there were a lot of rooms unoccupied.
Well, only Konoe-san and her butler live there, right?
They can't possibly use all the rooms.
Yeah, but, how do I say... I felt something strange.
H-Hey.
What a coincidence.
Are you on your way back from Konoe-san's place?
Did you come because you worried about me?
Wh-What are you saying?
I only passed by.
Y-You're not going to Satou's place today?
Yeah...
Wh-What's going on?
Wilhelmina?
Wilhelmina!
Are you here?
Wilhelmina!
Wilhelmi...
Welcome home.
Dinner will be ready soon ~de arimasu.
Dinner?
Home cooked?
Of course.
A dinner filled with smiles after one bite ~de arimasu.
Great feeling.
Please do not worry. I have trained ~de arimasu.
Looks like she didn't train to turn the ventilation on.
I'm home.
Welcome home, Yu-chan.
What happened here?
I made a little mess.
You made a mess?
Sorry for the wait ~de arimasu.
W-Wilhelmina Carmel...
What exactly is this dish called?
Cabbage roll ~de arimasu.
Cabbage roll?
How to cut the cabbage, mix the meat, add seasoning, and stew it.
I've given it a personal arrangement to all of the above and even added extras ~de arimasu.
Improved epicurean.
Personal arrangement...
I want you to eat it and cheer up again ~de arimasu.
How is it ~de arimasuka?
It's bitter.
It's tasteless in some places.
But, since you made it, it's good.
Shana was still angry.
Maybe I'll have a proper talk with her tomorrow.
Oh yeah, and Ike said...
"Those around me", eh?
A study session is to be held at Satou's place, and so the usual suspects gather.
Shana and Yoshida, who are after me, and Ogata, who is after Tanaka.
Margery Daw advises all the girls in loss at once.
Next time on Shakugan no Shana Second.
Night Before an Ordeal.
