An all-you-can-eat cake buffet?!
Y-Yeah, I heard a new place opened up by the station.
Sakurada-san asked if you'd like to join us.
Well, actually...
I'd love to go with you guys,
but I'm not sure about eating, considering my fangs and all.
So, well... Sorry, but...
Let's Be Honest!
Acorn Tree
Is this Heaven?
I'm glad it makes you happy.
I can really have anything I want?
That's right.
I'm glad.
Protecting her secret is important, too,
but I hope we'll be able to spend more time like this together with our friends.
You're not from around here, right, Shiragami-san?
And you live alone, don't you?
Let's eat while we talk.
Isn't it tough living by yourself?
Well, it was at first, sure,
but it's been almost a year and a half now.
Huh, she seems totally fine.
Actually, eating while we talk
makes hiding her mouth look natural.
This is delicious.
Which one?
Here, the one on top of—
Shiragami!
Wh-What's wrong, Kuromine-kun?
Huh? What's up?
Dude, Asahi, don't just shout out of nowhere.
That scared me.
S-Sorry, it's nothing.
Yeah, well... It's okay, but...
Shiragami doesn't realize it?
Fortunately, it looks like they can't see them, but...
So, when did you guys meet Kuromine-kun?
I met him in our first year of high school.
First year of middle school for me.
Wow.
You've known Akemi-san for a while too, then.
An email?
Yeah, since she and Asahi were friends as kids.
From Shima?
He's right here. Why is he messaging me?
C-Can he see her wings from where he is?
Inbox
From: Shimada Subject: Got a minute? The waitresses here have super short skirts, huh?
Shima...
Why'd you bother emailing me for that?
I worried for nothing...
Oh, right. My phone.
No one will notice if I use my phone.
Shiragami.
Hey, Asahi! Don't show Shiragami-san my email!
To: Subject: Shiragami, your wings are out!
Really? Was it that shocking?
Sorry, Shima.
And thanks.
It looks like I hurt you, so...
I'll give you this necklace to make up for it.
A c-cross!
No! When Shiragami sees crosses, she...
I'm sorry. Of course you don't want this.
No, I didn't mean it that way... Um...
Oh, yeah. She just gets a bit angry.
H-Honest, I really didn't mean it.
Th-The sun's so bright today!
What's gotten into you?
When is Asahi ever not acting weird?
Ouch!
I-It's one thing after another...
What the heck?!
You guys again?
It's the pool all over again.
Mikan's here?!
Look, Mikan!
What, Asahi?
Hey, you look good, Mikan-chan.
Oka-kun, you came here knowing I was here, didn't you?
Wait, what? You're here too, Shiragami-san?
Aren't you working?
If you mess with Shiragami...
I won't.
I just wanted to inform Shiragami-san of something.
Inform me?
It's finally complete.
My Russian Cream Puff Z!
Russian Cream Puff Z
Really?!
This is the worst thing that could happen!
What are you even doing in the middle of work?
Russian cream puffs would totally expose her secret!
It was because of the Russian cream puffs that the class rep found out.
And awful things happened in that sexy battle with the principal, too.
We've made it through so many tight spots.
I can't let her secret get out now!
F-Fine! I'll eat all of your cream puffs!
What? Why the big reaction?
Oh, screw it all!
Where are the cream puffs, Mikan?!
They're right here.
Are you trying to kill me?!
K-Kuromine-kun, you shouldn't...
What's with the cream puffs?
They look good, Asahi.
Y-You guys...
Shiragami-san...
Listen, um... Tell Asahi that if anything nasty happens,
we can at least help him out a little.
Asahi's acting weird for your sake, right, Shiragami-san?
He's generally good for nothing,
but I don't dislike seeing him actually try once in a while.
I wouldn't mind rooting for him, I guess.
We're his friends, after all.
All right, go ahead and eat them!
I-I tell him he doesn't have to try so hard, but he does anyway.
Kuromine-kun really is impossible...
And, well... I don't dislike that about him.
That's why...
I really want Kuromine-kun to find happiness with Aizawa-san!
I get it.
She's so dense, and Asahi's good for nothing.
That's what keeps these two in such perfect balance.
I must admit, I've created something truly horrific.
I have a great idea.
Newspaper Club
President...
They're gone! They're gone! They're gone! They're gone!
What's the matter?
They're gone!
Wh-What the heck?
Where did they go?
My...
It's Akemi-san.
Hello.
M-Mikan! I haven't forgotten yesterday's—
Never mind that!
Huh? You lost your glasses?
That's not good.
You can't see without your glasses, can you?
We'd better find them quick.
Shiragami, that won't be a problem.
They're fake glasses.
Huh? They are?
Well, yeah, but...
I just don't really feel right without them.
Like, I can't get into heathen mode.
M-Maybe we don't need to find your glasses.
Hey, Kuromine-kun.
Well, heathen mode is one thing,
but those glasses are...
F-Forget it!
It's fine!
I'll find them myself!
M-Mikan?
I can't tell them...
about that.
They're not here.
Sh-Shishido-san!
You're wearing a surprisingly cute pair.
Mind your own business!
Where'd they go, though?
Are you looking for something, too?
Yeah, I can't find my panties.
Don't lose those!
Oh well, I guess I don't need them.
See you.
Yes, you do!
There you are.
Wh-What do you want, Aizawa-san?
Akemi Mikan.
I'm in your debt.
Huh?
You made a full-page article about when I rejected Kuromine, didn't you?
Sorry about that.
Sh-She apologized?
The Heathen Queen?
Even I apologize, once in a while.
So, seriously, what do you want, Aizawa-san?
I heard from Shiragami Youko and Kuromine Asahi.
Huh?
So I thought I'd help out, too.
You "too"?
So they are, too?
Obviously.
I think Mikan's pretty upset.
Apparently those glasses are really important to her.
These two have gone through so much at the hands of Akemi Mikan, and yet they...
All right.
I'll help.
Thank you.
Let's split up and look for them.
Thanks.
Yeah.
You know, it's kind of creepy when you're so honest about what you feel.
Okay, fine, fine.
Hurry up and find my glasses so I can go back to—
What is it, Akemi Mikan?
Th-The horned girl?!
Where'd my panties go?
Eromine-kun?!
Th-The horned girl.
What do you want from us?
What are you plotting to do this time?
Wait, look!
She has my glasses!
What?
After her!
Right!
Aizawa-san, you're not going to tell me not to run in the hallways now, are you?
I'll apologize to the teachers later.
That's it!
The Heathen Queen and the Iron Lady, huh?
Messing with them is going to be fun.
Move! out of my way!
Was that the principal?
Asahi!
The horned girl has my glasses!
What?!
And the leaky basket joins them.
This just gets better and better.
Can you guess which pair is the real one?
What the?
Hey, don't throw my glasses!
How can she perform such a trick?
Is she actually a devil?!
Whoa! Stay inside!
Now, which pair is the real one?
How will we ever know which pair is yours?
I think they each have different designs.
Actually, she's still wearing Mikan's glasses.
You noticed. Well done!
She's totally crying sour grapes, isn't she?
But how about this?
Is she truly a devil?
Only one of them is wearing glasses...
In that case...
N-Now they're all the same design?
Did you really think I wouldn't have thought of that?
No, you totally only noticed after Asahi pointed it out.
You shouldn't have told her!
Sorry.
Hey!
Is that all the Heathen Queen has got?
It seems I'm leaps and bounds ahead of her.
For a devil like me, you're all just—
Principal, you seem to be having a lot of fun.
A-Akari.
I want each and every one of you in this classroom.
Each and every one, immediately.
Akari! No, it's not like that!
These glasses... These glasses are...
Now's your chance, Akemi Mikan.
They seem intact. Is that the real pair?
Yeah, I think so.
Thank goodness.
I'll go let Shiragami know.
They must be very precious to you.
It really is creepy when you're that honest about what you feel, though.
Shut up!
I'll go right back to normal.
Don't, Mikan-san.
Take this opportunity to become honest.
Hey!
Ow, ow.
Who are you talking to?
What are you talking about, Aizawa-san?
No one's here besides us!
But I just heard a voice.
You're imagining things.
But...
Yes, it's just your imagination.
Actually, I am Fuku-chan, a fukunokami trainee
who has inhabited these glasses to help reform Mikan-chan.
F-Fukunokami?
It's possessing my glasses for some reason.
It's an evil spirit.
How dare you call me an evil spirit?
I'm a god of fortune.
A god of fortune? You're a god?
Yes.
We fukunokami are gods who inhabit long-cared-for belongings to bring fortune.
You're just a trainee.
I don't see any speakers or anything.
Aizawa-san, you don't know of any shrines around here that exorcise evil spirits, do you?
I told you, I'm not an evil spirit!
I'm a fukunokami!
It's a little hard to believe, though.
Is there any way to prove you're a fukunokami?
Yeah!
If you're really a fukunokami trainee, then prove it.
I guess I have no choice.
All right, then, look at your feet.
My feet?
It's a four-leaf clover.
There are clovers all around here. Of course there'd be at least one.
It had already exercised its powers?
S-Sorry, could you show us again?
Fine, then.
I'll show you something even more lucky.
Let's see...
Look on the other side of the river.
There's a rainbow, even though it's not raining.
How's that? Amazing, right?
Again, you didn't do that. It's just a coincidence.
You still doubt me?
Mikan-san, you really do have a corrupt mind.
Very well.
I'll remind you of when you had a pure heart, by force if I have to.
Indeed!
You used to believe you could transform into a magical girl.
How far back in my history are you digging?!
I see.
You went through that phase too, huh?
Wh-When I was a kid, sure.
Seriously, how do you know about that?
It wasn't until I was in high school that you possessed my glasses.
It was recently that I inhabited them,
but I inherited the memories of these glasses, too.
There you go, kid. Your prize.
G-Glasses?
Hey, Asahi, if you don't want those, can I have them?
Oh, sure, I guess.
I'm trashing them!
I'm trashing them before they say too much!
C-Calm down, Akemi Mikan!
Are you sane?
You would throw away glasses that hold such memories in an emotional fit?
Memories?
Yeah, exactly.
A fukunokami like me would never have inhabited them if
she hadn't treasured them deeply.
You're already saying too much!
It's all because Asahi gave you—
M-Man, these glasses say the weirdest things.
The thing is, Aizawa-san, my family doesn't have much money.
I just took care of them because it'd be wasteful not to.
Oh, please! Remember what you used to say?
"I'm going to marry Asahi-kun."
When I was a kid, sure!
The fukunokami are formidable indeed.
It's overwhelmed Akemi Mikan.
And more than that, it shows no sign of bringing good luck.
But now I get it.
Akemi Mikan, you...
You like Kuromine Asahi, too?
W-Wait! What do you mean by "too," Aizawa Nagisa?!
I-It's not as if I...
Aizawa-san,
I don't know if you'll believe me or not,
but it's really not like that.
I mean... I'll admit it.
I'll admit there was a time when I liked Asahi.
But it's not as if anything actually happened.
It's not like that anymore.
He's just a friend from way back.
You're still not going to be honest?
You're still not going to go back to how you used to be?
Shut up, you god of misfortune!
G-God of misfortune?
It's going to take the power of love to make you reform.
Power of love?
You sound as sketchy as ever.
Hey, Mikan!
What are you doing there?
Well, Mikan-san, lucky you. Now you see that I'm a real—
Asahi has to come now?
You're seriously a god of misfortune, aren't you?!
Don't be rash, Akemi Mikan!
I have to put on my glasses and go into heathen mode.
Oh, no, you won't!
If you put on these glasses in front of Asahi-kun,
I'll confess to him for you!
Confess? What do you mean?!
I don't have any feelings for him anymore...
Mikan-san!
If you really don't like him or anything,
you should be able to face him without your glasses!
A-Akemi Mikan,
what are you going to do about the fukunokami?
I can't tell them, obviously.
How am I supposed to explain this?
Akemi-san.
I'm glad you found your glasses.
Yeah.
I heard you helped look for them.
Thanks.
You finally found them. Aren't you going to put them on?
O-Oh, well...
What's wrong, Mikan?
Crap...
I'm getting overly conscious because of
that stuff we were just talking about.
I can't take it anymore!
Asahi-kun! Actually, I'm...
She's fighting.
Akemi Mikan is fighting with all she has.
I want to help her somehow.
I'll at least distract those two.
Aizawa-san, what are you doing?
Class Rep, what are you—
And Shiragami! Your wings!
You're getting lax lately!
I must take their attention away from Akemi Mikan somehow.
I have to try to take Akemi-san's attention off of Aizawa-san.
I have to try to take Mikan's attention away from Shiragami and Class Rep.
What the hell?!
That's freaky! And creepy!
She's distracted, but not in a good way.
What's even going on?
Aizawa-san!
D-Don't!
Your fangs, too!
What's up with you guys anyway?!
Whoa, he's close...
What is this?
I can't take it anymore.
You mustn't, Mikan-san!
I'll confess if you put me on!
N-No!
That was a close call.
A-Aizawa-san...
Shiragami, your wings.
Akemi Mikan, you're safe now.
Asahi-kun!
Actually, I am...
in love with you!
Wait... Huh?
Quiz Fukuonaire!
I'm your host, Fuku Monta.
You shut up already!
Question: who in this picture is wearing the same glasses as Mikan-san?
How would I know?
Then let's use the fifty-fifty.
That's not what you take the "half" from!
My mistake.
But seeing Asahi-kun naked is lucky for you, isn't it?
Thanks to the god of fortune trainee—
Th-Th-That doesn't make me happy!
