It's still no good.
Still not good enough...
I bet my sister would be more...
If it weren't for Byakushiki, I could've caught up to her...
No, that's not it...
Yo!
So, about the upcoming tag-team tournament...
I want you to pair up with me!
Kanzashi!
Stop calling me by my first name!
Sarashiki!
Don't call me by my last name, either!
Well, then...
You girl over there!
What do you think you're doing?
You just told me not to call you by name.
I'd rather be called by name than be addressed that way.
Okay then. Kanzashi.
Miss Kanzashi.
What made you want to pair up with me anyway?
What? Well...
Please don't mention my name to her.
Oh, yeah!
Because I want to see your personal IS!
What...
Open Your Heart
Whoa! When did you get here?!
Don't tell me you're going to ask Maintenance for help.
No, it's not for me.
I thought about asking them a favor
about Kanzashi's personal IS.
I think that would be difficult.
It looks like Kanazashi is determined to assemble it by herself.
What?
She's hung up about it because
I did it that way with mine.
She shouldn't be worried about it.
So you assembled it by yourself?
Yeah, I did.
Though I received some advice from Kaoruko and
the maintenance department.
More importantly, how has Kanzashi been?
Well,
she hit me...
What? Normally she wouldn't want to waste
energy on anything unproductive.
Did you touch her butt or something?
Why would I do such a thing?!
Just kidding, just kidding.
In any case, I can't believe that Kanzashi did that.
I bet she has a crush on you, Ichika.
That's far enough!
What?
There's nothing to be afraid of!
Just leave it to me!
Take this!
I hit him... Why did I do such a thing?
Ichika...
I'll make you regret not pairing up with me.
Now shake to your core as Cecilia Alcott
and Blue Tears play your requiem!
Hey, have you heard?
What is it?
Supposedly Orimura has been asking Sarashiki from Class 4 every day
to be his partner in the personal IS tag tournament!
What?! No way! Why?
Like I said,
I need you to give me the package data
for my right side shock cannon now!
You need to finish it within three days.
What? You can't do it?
You'd better do it!
You watch, Ichika!
I won't forgive you even if you come
pleading for my forgiveness in tears!
Miss Kanzashi, wait!
Stop following me!
Let's go, Revive!
I'm formidable, Ichika!
I'll show you true terror...
I'll engrave it into your body, Ichika!
If I tape it up...
What?
Medic! Medic!
Showing you some mercy is the least I can do.
I'll make it quick so you won't suffer,
Ichika.
I got you, Houki!
What?! Tatenashi!
Oh? Training with a real sword?
Yeah...
So, Houki, pair up with me!
What?
First things first, let me check your physical data.
Okay, I don't mind.
All right, it's all set. Let's get started.
This is...
Is something wrong?
You've got big boobs.
I think mine are actually smaller...
What are you looking at?
Please get serious!
I'm sorry.
Since when did I start feeling uncomfortable
about being a member of the same Sarashiki family with her?
I can't even look at her face anymore...
If tomorrow's flight test goes well,
my sister will...
What's going on?
Advancing from C to S in such a short period of time?
I've never heard of such a thing.
I bet the key is Tabane Shinonono...
I'd like to raise booster output
in order to improve tuning performance.
That's fine, but that's
going to make controlling the body difficult.
Stability will decrease as well.
I don't care!
I can't afford to lose the next battle, no matter what.
Hey!
Have you seen Miss Kanzashi?
You get out of here!
That's right! We're going to report you!
Why are they so mad?
Will you move, Orimura?
What?
I see.
Everyone must be nervous because of the competition.
I'd better hurry up, too.
Come, Uchigane Nishiki.
I'm going to make it work today no matter what.
Body control is good.
And the hyper sensor connection and interlock...
No problem with the attitude control thrusters.
Adjusting deployment hardpoints...
Displacement from PIC Interference region...
Adjusting the center of gravity 6cm forward...
And reignite the leg booster balance at minus 4.
She's not here, either...
Oh?
Miss Kanzashi! So is that it?
Thrust compensation isn't working! Why?
Come, Byakushiki!
Big Sister...
No... No...
I still can't catch up with her...
In the end, I'm still no good.
Kanzashi!
O-Orimura.
It hurts like hell.
Umm...
Are you okay, Miss Kanzashi?
What? Y-yes.
That's good.
I figured this was going to happen, but now
we've got to submit a report.
Umm, it's my fault.
Don't worry about it.
It was an airframe-related accident. You couldn't help it.
Umm...
Thank you.
What?
You saved me earlier.
Oh, that? That's expected.
What's the matter, Miss Kanzashi?
Nothing.
More importantly, I bet you're hungry.
Let's go get something to eat.
Thank you for the food.
So you soak your kakiage in the soup, huh?
Laura likes it crispy, so if she sees you doing that,
it would be a battle.
No, this is "soaking the entire body in the bath" style.
That's a new one.
Excuse me then.
Oh yeah, do you want to try my chicken nanban?
What?
It's fresh and hot. It's the best.
Just give it a try. Say "ah".
It's good, isn't it?
Hey, can I have some of your kakiage?
No way!
Sorry.
I didn't know you liked it that much.
You can't have this.
Therefore, the most important elements
in combat are weight, speed and flow.
I not only let him feed me,
Those three things are believed to be the most crucial elements.
but I also kissed him indirectly!
What do I want?
What's going to happen to me?
If you don't know, you should give it a try.
Let's pair up, Miss Kanzashi.
No, I mean... I don't know... I don't know.
But if you keep saying that you'll never find out.
That's true, but...
There's nothing to be afraid of.
Just leave it to me.
Come on. Pair up with me, Kanzashi.
Oh?
Yes! You said you'd pair up with me!
Well...
All right! We'd better dash to the faculty room.
We're going to register our partnership!
How much of your airframe has been completed so far?
The armaments aren't done yet.
Besides, operation data isn't even available yet,
so it still can't be used in real combat as-is.
I see. What do you mean by "armaments"?
High-speed guided missiles controlled by a multi lock system.
Also a charged particle cannon. But it's not done yet, either.
A charged particle cannon!
We can use Byakushiki's data.
Let's see, this one is for Yukihira Nigata...
Oh, there it is!
We'll get operation data later, so for now,
let's start it up with whatever we can use.
Okay.
Thank you very much!
Don't worry about it.
Let's go take a shower.
What? No!
Come on. Don't be like that. There, there.
P-Please stop pulling me!
I can walk by myself!
She used to pull my hands just like this before...
I hurt that person.
This feels so good, don't you think, Houki?
Are you thinking about something?
What? Oh, I was
just thinking about my sister...
Your sister... Have you been keeping
your distance from Dr. Tabane?
I don't dislike her.
I appreciate the fact that she gave me her personal IS, too.
I see. That's good to know.
After all, it's best to get along with family...
Not that I'm in any place to tell that to anyone.
But I still don't know what she's thinking.
Are you scared because you don't know?
I understand. I feel the same way, too.
What?
It's okay. Don't worry.
I'm sure your sister cares about you.
Hey, let's ask Maintenance to help us tomorrow.
We don't have much time left until the match.
Safety first, right?
Sure. Let's do that.
Shall we go home now, Miss Kanzashi?
What's the matter?
Y-you don't have to say "Miss"...
What?
J-just call me "Kanzashi"!
What?
I... I said it...
I'm being so weird!
I might like him...
Hi!
We came to help you!
Thank you for coming today.
Ichika, now you owe me a date!
What?
Kan-chan!
Honne, sorry, it was a last minute request.
Why are you apologizing?
I'm going to work really hard for you today, Kan-chan!
Thank you!
All right. Since we don't have a lot of time,
why don't we get right to it?
Orimura, bring me the extra large wrench
and the high-frequency cutter?
Y-yes!
Please give me the data scanner and the ultrasonic wave tester!
Y-yes!
Orimura! Bring me a juice!
Yes!
Orimu! Bring me some snacks!
Okay.
Can you go get me a shampoo from the school store?
That has nothing to do with this!
I guess this will do.
Yay!
Thank you very much.
I couldn't have done it alone.
Thank you so much!
Don't mention it.
After all, we're fellow students of the same school, you know.
Well, let us get out of here now.
Orimu, please clean up.
I guess we did it.
Yeah... Thanks to everyone...
Let's do our best at the tournament, Kanzashi.
Yeah!
Ciao!
You snuck in again?
Ichika, give me a massage.
What?
I've noticed that you're close to your sister.
Where did that come from all of a sudden?
I say that because Miss Orimura is very strict with you in particular.
Do you call that being close?
Hey, you don't get it, do you?
She's strict to you because she cares about you
and you're special to her...
And so that you won't die.
You know, if a war or something broke out.
Now you can rub my butt.
What did you say?!
I just wanted to see that face.
I wonder Orimura would eat this...
Jeez, give me a break!
It's okay. Relax!
By the way, how'd it go with Kanzashi's airframe?
What's going on?
Well, it's coming together.
My airframe data came in handy, right?
So my sister set this whole thing up?!
No...
Nohohon here.
Today, I'm going to make myself a personal IS
by using paper and cardboard boxes.
Why don't I give it a name first?
Nohohon's personal IS will be called "the Fox's Wedding"!
Hey, that's Miss Orimura! Yahoo!
