We're close to the end already?!
It would be such a waste to miss this!
Reiko, a genius at memorization, calls me "Master"?
Fine, I've got an amusing lecture for her!
The eyes of the students bear uncut diamonds.
Junichiro Kagami, the Ultimate Otaku Teacher, is always the first to find them!
Huh?
Teaching isn't what you truly yearn to do.
"Particle Physics Lab CERM Urgent Press Conference"
Our final goal is the realization of the space-warp transportation gate device...
Also known as the "Anywhere Door."
We want you to manage the development, however you like.
I'm sure teaching is boring for you.
You do not understand the meaning of "Junichiro Kagami, the teacher."
Therefore, I am letting you go.
"From: Junichiro Kagami | To: Suzune Kagami" "Subject: Hey, sister" "I got fired; I'm no longer a teacher. lol"
Couldn't he at least say something to me?!
Where on Earth is big bro?!
Oh, no reception...
Ah well.
Hey guys!
Hey, Junichiro!
Good morning!
Morning, big bro!
Sharp! Sharp!
Bakkyuun!
You haven't changed, Otaku Teacher.
Junichiro!
Huh? Yamato?
Here's your favorite.
So cold!
Oh, a dream?
Here.
Here's your Doc-P.
So you'll really come to join us?!
Yeah.
Yes! Yes!
Yeah!!

"The Job Try Out Girl"
Listen up, everyone!
Mr. Junichiro Kagami is officially joining our project!
Pleased to work with you!
Wow!
I hereby declare!
We will beat CERM in the race to detect the Higgs particle, also known as the God particle,
and become the world's leader in the development of the Anywhere Door!
World's leader...
Seriously...?
Group 1, get the positron collision experiments going on the LHC!
Group 2, spin up the particle accelerator!
Group 3, hurry up with the data analysis!
Understood!
Wow, you're on fire!
Haha, did I scare you?
Back then this was how we were every day.
You're right.
Reckless goals set by reckless leadership, with a team of reckless fools following them.
Right then... Time to rev up my rusty engines too!
Hey hey! I'm joining you!
Certainly, sir!
Oh, oops. Morning already.
Great... Super... You did it, Junichiro...
Slowly, and silently...
Oh yeah! Nothing beats a cold Doc-P after an all-nighter.
I haven't done this in so long!
This is so much fun!
...Is what I ought to be saying.
It's because you no longer need the "Anywhere Door."
Hah! If nothing else, this totally beats teaching!
Seriously, where has he gone off to?
"Yesterday's traffic accidents: Deaths: 0 | Injuries: 1"
Oh no... Could it be?!
Wee!
Big bro...?
Miss Suzune.
Chairperson?!
Mr. Kagami is safe; please do not worry.
I will excuse myself.
Wait, hold on...
Safe, don't worry...? What in the...
Hey, Junichiro!
Hey, good morning!
Let me introduce...
This is Miss Reiko Mukyo, a one-day tryout intern for our lab.
Kagami?
Yeah?
Are you Junichiro Kagami?
That was sudden... You know about me?
Yomi told me.
Yomi? Who's Yomi?
I thought this was supposed to be a top-secret facility.
Why would you accept interns?
Yes... It's super rare. Or rather, impossible.
It suddenly came up yesterday.
We weren't told where the introduction came from, just the authorization.
It's like a shadowy force is conspiring behind the curtains...
As if!
Kagami!
Kagami, Reiko is bored!
Huh? Bored?
You were the one who signed up to check this place out.
Reiko just came because Yomi told me to. That boring machine doesn't interest Reiko.
That boring machine?
That machine is needed for building the "Anywhere Door."
Hmm.
See, it's interesting all of a sudden, right?
What's this "Anywhere Door"?
What?! Seriously?!
You don't know about that manga...
You don't know the famous bipedal feline robot?!
Manga? The text-and-pictures publications for children?
Yes!
Not interested!
Haha...
It seems like you did not receive proper education...
Oh, I pity you! You unfortunate soul!
How can I let a fellow Japanese... No, a fellow human stay ignorant of that masterpiece?!
Come! Your re-education awaits!
Listen. I wouldn't mind if you were picky with food you haven't tasted,
but I will not allow you to judge a manga you've never read!
Don't leave this room until you've read every volume, do you understand?!
"Kabutomushi Comics" "Michiemon | Volume 1" "Takeshi F. Azuma"
She messed up my plans for today.
I have to finish up the Higgs particle formula by tomorrow.
Dang! I fell asleep for two whole hours!
Huh? What are you doing?
Reiko read all of the manga!
It was amusing!
Now Reiko is interested in the "Anywhere Door" too!
What? She read every volume in under two hours?
Building that amusing gadget in real life... That's exciting!
I'm going to join you!
How do you know how to work that thing?
Reiko watched.
Huh?
Reiko has a special power. Reiko can do anything if Reiko watches it being done once.
Yomi was right. Junichiro would teach Reiko amusing things!
Yomi again? Who in the world is...
It's like a shadowy force is conspiring behind the curtains... As if!
A conspiring force... Yomi... Yomi... Koyomi...
Koyomi Hiiragi, Options?!
Who are you?
Reiko!
Reiko Mukyo, first-year student at Hiiragi Academy, Mr. Kagami!
"Higgs particle detected"
First-year student at Hiiragi Academy...
Reiko Mukyo.
Sent in by Options, I suppose...
First she fires me, then this? What is she thinking?
What did Options tell you?
What are you trying to achieve here?
Achieve?
Nothing.
Huh?
Reiko is just here, because Yomi told Reiko to go.
I mean, she wouldn't send you here without a reason...?
But Reiko is glad. Reiko didn't know what it felt like to be amused.
But now Reiko knows! Thanks to you.
This excited feeling; this must be what amusing is!
It's so fun, and Reiko is very happy!
You...
Junichiro! No, Excitement-Man!
Teach Reiko more amusing things!
What kind of name is Excitement-Man?
Stop giving people weird nicknames!
Do you have any more manga? Reiko wants to read more!
That was the only one I carry with me at all times...
What?! Wow!
We detected the Higgs particle?!
I knew you could do it, Junichiro!
No, I just did the math. She found it.
Really?! Who is she, anyway...?
No clue... Hey, this lab doesn't have manga by any chance, does it?
Manga? What did I tell you?
I built this lab for you, Junichiro!
Huh? So are you saying...
I built an Anumate shop right inside the lab!
Seriously?!
Let's go, Excitement-Man! Hurry, hurry!
Yeah yeah, fine.
Hey...
I can show you the place.
Huh?
Junichiro is busy.
There are so many tasks he needs to do today.
Don't worry! Reiko took care of it already, on the side.
Huh?!
So can you stay out of this... old lady...
O-Old?!
I'm only 24...
Let's go! Come on!
--Twenty-four... --Relentless...
Wow! Anumate underground is quite a view!
I can almost see a halo behind it!
So what should Reiko do now?!
Fine! I will show you the Way of the Anumate!
You shall be my pupil, understood?!
Got it, Excitement-Man!
You shall refer to me as Master!
Yes, Master!
Wow! This place is full of amusing!
Unlimited purchases with Yamato's employee card? What a dream come true!
Wow! A kebab stand, an Akihabara favorite!
"Doner Kebab"
Operated by realistic-looking foreign dudes too!
I thought this place was top secret...
Welcome!
One hot spicy chili sauce with double beef!
Reiko too!
Same? Are you sure? It's pretty spicy.
Reiko wants the same one as Master!
Ah! So good!
Ugh... Spicy...
I told you so; are you okay?
Reiko is fine... This is fun.
Master teaches Reiko many amusing things...
This is much more fun than anything in the past!
That's why Reiko will do as Master does!
Then Reiko will become more amusing and more fun!
What kind of life have you lived so far...?
Reiko was in a sanitarium in the mountains.
It was a pretty, white building, where they did experiments on Reiko's abilities.
But the experiments were the same, every day.
Reiko remembers everything by seeing it once, so it was very boring.
Then, one day...
How would you like to experience more amusing things?
Amusing? What's that?
You will meet someone who can teach you that.
For that, you must become a student at my academy, Reiko Mukyo.
It's impossible. Reiko has never left this building.
I will get you out.
If that is what you desire...
Reiko really wanted to know what amusing felt like.
Yesterday, Reiko suddenly got a call and was told to come here by Yomi.
She told Reiko to meet someone named Junichiro Kagami.
So Options really did all this to make me meet her.
Reiko is glad that Reiko listened to Yomi.
Master makes Reiko's days amusing.
Reiko will do as you say, Master.
Hey, go back to your room now.
Huh? But Reiko is still...
What, aren't you going to do as I say?
Okay... Reiko will do as you say!
Oh, naughty you! Making a girl cry?
It's fine.
She needs to understand what amusing really is.
Was he angry...?
But why...? Reiko did exactly as he said.
Did Reiko do something to irritate him...?
Is it because Reiko didn't finish that food?!
If Master stops teaching Reiko...
Reiko won't be able to understand what amusing means again...
No! That can't be!
Emergency level 4. We are under a cyberattack.
Emergency level 4...
A cyberattack?
Someone's trying to steal all of our Higgs particle research data!
Master needs that data for work!
Hey, go back to your room now.
But if Reiko isn't in the room, that would mean Reiko went against Master's instructions...
If Master stops teaching Reiko...
What's going on?!
The main server is being hacked!
Who's doing this?!
We're still finding out...
We got it!
It's CERM!
CERM?
Junichiro! How dare you decline my offer and join KEC...
So is that your final answer?
IDS and IPS are both down!
"Firewall is not responding." "IDS has stopped functioning. Intrusion from external networks can no longer be detected." "IPS has stopped functioning. Cannot protect against intrusion from external networks."
Double-check our security system states!
They placed a time-activated virus on our self-diagnostic programs!
Port scan detected on all servers within the labs!
They're opening all of our ports!
Code red!
Dammit, Tim!
Tim! How dare you!
Kagami! So building the Door really was what you yearned to do!
Junichiro!
They've taken over 97% of our network traffic!
The whole system is going down unless we do something!
Dammit!
Simulated firewalls deployed! Dummy servers active!
Right! I'll lead them in!
The enemy is chasing the dummy!
Yeah! I got the attacker in our dummy server!
Sever all logical connections with the main server!
Follow up and sever physical connections as well!
Route trace the attacker's trail and counter with command injection!
Bombarding with tons of code to overflow them!
All functionality restored! System all green!
Yes!
The hack failed.
I suppose that was rather immature of me.
You didn't do as I told.
That was the right thing to do!
To truly enjoy amusing things, you have to listen to your heart.
Listening to others or following orders will get you nowhere.
Thanks for the help back there.
If you had listened to me, we would've been toast!
That was amusing, right?
It was absolutely fantastically amusing!
