Hey! Don't change the channel!
You don't want to miss what's coming up!
What?! A political marriage?
Kansai-accented daughter of a CEO, and the world's greatest king of games...
I'll tackle them both, on their own turfs!
The eyes of the students bear uncut diamonds.
Junichiro Kagami, the Ultimate Otaku Teacher, is always the first to find them!
"Ultimate Otaku Teacher #15 | Search"
"The Fiancé is a Game King"
Seriously though, hostile takeover and political marriage?
I didn't think those things exist in real life.
"Icho Academy, First Year" "Madoka Kuramochi"
It doesn't make me happy.
You really do live in an awesome world.
The concept of marrying that guy, how rare is that?
Huh? You know about him?
He's the CEO of Activision Frigate.
Son of the founder of Macrosoft,
and undisputed champion of the King Halo game series, three years running.
Hell Gates, the young genius programmer.
S-So you do know all about him, then what do you plan to do?
This is nothing compared to completing a set of rare trading cards!
"Tokyo Treasure Land"
Wow! He really beat the game with the knife!
Isn't that Hell Gates?
It's him! He's real!
Um, sir?
Your score was the best of the day, so here is your prize. A medal.
I guess you wouldn't want this...
All titles to honor a king are of equal value.
I accept this.
I couldn't sleep.
Hey, good morning! Changed already?
Yeah, I should get...
Wh-What are you doing here, Gates?!
Hey Madoka! I came to get you.
I've waited so long until you turned 16.
So he's your fiancé, right?
I was surprised! Good catch!
Hey, step outside for a sec, Gates.
What's wrong with you?!
The official announcement is supposed to be in a week!
Until then, I'm...
You're the daughter of an entrepreneur.
You should be ready for these types of things.
You have no choice but to become mine.
I'm going through the trouble of buying a company I don't even want.
You should be grateful.
Now your company can be part of our group, and be eternally--
Simmer down, your highness. You're in front of my house.
Wh-What...
Madoka, do you know of this entertaining man?
Yeah, he's my...
...real fiancé.
What?
I'm a bit of a gamer myself.
She fell in love with my skills, and proposed to marry me.
Wh-What?
Madoka, in love with game skills?
Then why won't she--
"Tokyo Treasure Land" "Cape of Honor"
I heard you got all excited about scoring one of these.
The tweets were all over the place.
She says, if she has to marry someone that buys a company he doesn't want...
...she'd rather run away with me!
R-Run away?!
What is your name, fool?
Junichiro Kagami.
Kagami! I challenge you to a duel!
I refuse.
Right, then the duel will be...
Wait, what?! You refuse?
I don't want to waste time on a duel with obvious results.
You!
But, I suppose...
If I win, you give up on her. Then I accept.
And the whole takeover thing too.
Your plan is...
To make it fair for you, we can fight on King Halo,
the game you yourself make at Activision Frigate.
Are you insane?
Also, we'll play on King Halo 3, the latest version, coming out next month.
On 3...?
You'll need the advantage of me never having played the game before.
If I win, you must obviously concede.
But on top of that, I demand one more condition.
If you lose, you will spend the rest of your life
without ever touching a game.
Sure, whatever, Mr. World Champion.
Are you sure?
I make completely sure that promises are kept.
What does that mean?
If I win, he immediately gets ferried to the U.S.
He will spend the rest of his life under 24 hour surveillance in my company.
Th-That's absurd!
It's just a game.
It's fine, rebelling against a king should have risks, right?
I accept.
M-Mr. Kagami!
Fine. The duel will take place this evening, at...
...Tokyo Treasure Land!
What?!
Big bro, you made a crazy promise again?!
Who cares? I'll win.
Stop talking like a vagabond gambler!
Mr. Kagami... You should give up.
I'm the daughter of an entrepreneur, I have responsibilities.
But you don't have to be part of this.
Stop being such a buzz-kill.
Step back from your role-playing as daughter of KMC for a moment.
What do you, Madoka Kuramochi, think, as an individual?
My dream was to work with the man I love to make the company great.
Marrying someone I don't even like is...
I don't want that.
Then shut up and watch.
Letting kids get what they want is part of being an adult.
Where are we going? You haven't even had lunch.
Just preparing for the fight.
She should be using this space at this hour for work...
"Reference Material Room #5"
Well hello, Junichiro.
Kisaki-sensei, I need a favor...
I see!
That is blood-boiling material.
I actually play some King Halo myself--
--No, Sensei, I just need to borrow a console from you. --What are you doing here?!
Mr. Kagami called me!
He called me too!
You two...
So that's the basic idea. Just do whatever you like.
Y-Yes.
Okay, let's fight.
What did you teach them?
Huh?
Didn't you bring them here because they're good at games?
No, they're both complete amateurs.
What?! How do you practice against amateurs?
Amateurs are just what I need.
"2-on-1 Irregular Match" "Victory Conditions: Enemy Team Annihilated"
We can work together, but don't drag me down.
This is important for Mr. Kagami.
Same to you!
Oh, that's the enemy. I have to get closer...
Um, running... Running...
What are you doing?
This is harder than it looks! You try!
Hah. I am actually pretty athletic.
Since I'm...
Oops, that was supposed to be a secret!
Does she still think Cutter Girl is a secret?
It's pretty obvious...
Here I come!
Huh? Huh...?
Ugh...
Oh, motion sickness?
After that talk about your great athletics? Lame!
How do you intend to help Mr. Kagami with that?
Excuse me, my hand slipped.
Oops! My hand slipped too!
Oh no! I slipped again!
What?! I slipped again!
I slipped again!
Hey, those two won't come over here at all.
Is this really good practice?
I'm going to go tell them.
It's okay!
This is exactly what I wanted to see.
"Tokyo Treasure Land"
Hey, isn't it starting soon?
Yeah...
It's Hell Gates!
World champion of King Halo, three times running...
It's really him!
The new game, King Halo 3.
Are you sure you want to play this?
Yeah, let's get it on.
The match format is Team Fight, with 1 player and 10 NPCs on a side.
"NPC - Non-Player Characters: Characters being controlled by the computer"
Madoka, pack your bags.
We leave for the U.S. tonight.
Time to start the lecture!
Two enemies at 11 o'clock, out of range.
Change main weapon from Plasma Shotgun to Beam Assault Rifle.
Champ doing his thing!
What about Mr. Kagami?
Junichiro! Your allies are losing, what are you doing?!
This is what Kiriko and Kanan were doing... but why?
There you are, Kagami!
You will pay for your insolence!
Wh-What?! My weapon vanished!
Weapon vanishing isn't part of the program that I wrote...?
It's a bug.
Unreleased software tend to have issues when
the user behaves differently from what the developers had in mind.
You should know that, as a genius programmer.
My feet...
Won't move...!
Welcome to real warfare, where anything goes.
Gates' weapon disappeared!
Why?!
He copied the actions of an amateur to trigger a bug on purpose.
Is that possible?
Normally, no.
But he is the genius, Junichiro Kagami!
Oops, my gun too. I guess then...
Where are you going?!
Now what?!
When did you...
No, the buildings in this field can't be entered!
I squeezed myself into a gap created by a bug.
I'm in what they call a different dimension.
Dimension...? You're just standing in an abnormal location.
I got you now!
My gun, again!
Why is your gun still there?!
I said, different dimension.
That area is a bugged no-guns zone.
But I'm not in that area, I'm in a different dimension.
I'm not affected.
You!
Video game companies asked me to test their unreleased games a lot.
I learned one thing from that--
No matter what happens, be prepared.
Wasn't that on the manual, your highness?
Hey, I won.
A duel is a duel. I accept my defeat.
I will withdraw from KMC.
However...
Face me one more time, on King Halo 2,
the version that you and I both mastered.
This time, no bugs, a pure skill match-up.
Put your honor as a gamer on the line.
I'm going home.
As I thought. You must not be content with...
Wait, you're going home?!
I got what I wanted, and Case Closed is on soon.
Wait!
I have to prove to myself that, though I lost,
my actual skills are not inferior to yours.
You're a fool.
This time, I'm ready.
No matter what sly tricks he pulls...
What?!
Sniper! Keep your heads down and find where he is!
He got half my team in the blink of an eye...
Where is he?!
Does he know where I am?!
I have to reposition and...
He's toying with me...
He's way ahead of me!
He is completely aware of my movements too, not just the NPCs!
He is in a completely different league.
I did not know such a player existed in this world.
But I can't end like this.
I must not put my title as King to shame!
Kagami! We end this now!
Discarding armor to maximize speed...
Good decision, given the situation.
Quick thinking and courage, he really is a champion.
But it's still not good enough against me.
I tried to look out for you.
If you ended it there, you could have said your actual skills were better.
I admit... I lose.
Wow! Perfect victory!
Kagami, with your skills, why won't you join tournaments?
Huh? Games aren't for competition.
Games are for mastering.
I see.
Hey Gates!
I hope you're not being a sore loser!
That hurts. Why would I do that?
I mean, aren't you annoyed?
Quite the contrary. Now I know that the woman I love
has the ability to choose the right man.
I'm even deeper in love with you now, Madoka.
Wh-What?! What are you... Are you a masochist?!
I said I'd give up the political marriage,
but I never said I give up on you entirely.
Wh-What are you...
After all, they seem like a good couple actually.
And so ends my lecture for today.
There is more to this world that I don't know.
Who is he?
He's the teacher at my school.
How did you meet Gates anyway?
Last year, at the Game Show,
that idiot started talking smack about my company and Japanese gamers.
So I gave him a lecture,
and then he started saying how I am a critical part in him becoming a true king.
Completely crazy, that guy.
Really? You must understand.
He thought he needed someone that can give him an honest opinion.
People who can give you what you don't have are truly precious.
It's natural to want to do anything to be with them.
Hey Mr. Kagami, do you know why I fell in love with you?
Huh?
I wanted to see what price goes on the famous troublemaker of our school.
Turns out...
...I saw nothing.
First time this ever happened.
You have something that I couldn't put a price on. That's why...
H-Hey...
Next, I'm going to make you propose to marry me.
That's my new goal.
See ya!
