Terror! The Curse of Pucchan
So it's curry rice for lunch again today?
How many times in a row has it been as of today, the present date, this time around?
This is the 10th day.
Miss Vice President, at this rate our daily diets will be unbalanced.
I understand, but we shouldn't waste food.
Besides, you're the ones who made too much of it.
Take responsibility.
I'm even trying to help you out like this.
You're the one who got all fired up and ordered us to make it...
Did you just say something?
No, not at all!
Look at Rando, Kaori!
She's eating so happily!
This is delicious!
When the curry is this good, we can just keep on eating, right, Pucchan?
You're right, Rino.
She's just too different!
My question is why do even I, the treasurer, have to eat this curry?
Hey, treasurer chick, stop fussing over little things, will ya?
Treasurer Chick
Hey, treasurer chick, stop fussing over little things, will ya?
The Covert Squad members are eating cake, you know...
It's good, isn't it, Kuon?
Yes, very good.
I want to eat cake, too...
Izumi!
Huh?
Cake is good, but don't forget about curry rice!
Just kidding!
Don't go softening the mood for no reason!
I'm tired of curry rice... This is hard. I don't want to do this anymore!
Don't be such a baby, you bratty upperclassman!
Bratty Upperclassman
Don't be such a baby, you bratty upperclassman!
But still...
Big Boobies 4-eyes Glasses
It'd be a good diet for you, big boobies 4-eyes glasses.
It's called curry diet. It works too!
Sayuri!
Rein!
Is there really such a thing as a "curry diet," Pucchan?
It's a lie, obviously!
I can't believe you, Pucchan!
That little puppet is as offensive as usual.
Even I have gotten completely used to it without realizing,
and I don't know if I should even bring this up at this point,
but I'd still like to ask this question.
Rando.
Yes?
What is that puppet?
It's Pucchan.
That's right! My name is Pucchan, no more and no less.
No, I don't care about that.
What I want to confirm right now is
whether or not Rando is making the puppet talk through ventriloquism.
Ventriloquism?
Now that you mention it...
I hadn't thought about it until you just brought it up again,
because he sounds like a completely different person from Rino, but...
That's right.
The unacceptable behavior of the puppet called Pucchan
is the product of Rino Rando's own voice and will!
He just called me a treasurer chick!
Treasurer Chick
He just called me a treasurer chick!
Bratty Upperclassman
He called me a bratty upperclassman...
Big Boobies 4-eyes Glasses
He called me big boobies 4-eyes...
Um...
Rando, are you trying to make fools out of us?
That's not what I'm doing...
Don't get so uptight just cuz I tell you the truth!
Stop it, Pucchan!
THAT is what we're talking about!
You act like he's a separate person by acting that way,
but you're the one who's making him talk, aren't you?
Um...
Stop nitpicking!
You call yourselves the Best Student Council or whatever, but you're a bunch of wimps!
Rino Rando! Do you mean to ridicule Best Student Council?!
Unforgivable!
Nanaho!
Time out!
You can't do that! Anything but that!
Let go!
I have devoted myself to the Best Student Council!
We know that!
Yes, we know!
Confiscate that puppet NOW!
Pucchan, please apologize to them!
I guess this is the perfect opportunity.
What?
Recovered, confiscated and taken away!
Catch!
Here you go, Miss Vice President.
Rando, we're going to keep this puppet in our custody.
P-Please hold on!
I will certainly not.
Listen, Rando.
You've done plenty to deserve this.
Nothing personal.
B-But still...
Pucchan...
They confiscated Pucchan?
To be more precise, we have confiscated Rino Rando's puppet.
It will be under the surveillance of the student council.
Her behavior when she uses ventriloquism is unacceptable;
it creates disorder in the group,
and could interfere with the student council's activities.
Miss President, please give us your OK.
Vice President, can I ask you one thing?
What would that be?
How's Rino taking this?
I suppose this is to be expected, but she's collapsed in tears.
Miss Vice President!
Please let me see Pucchan!
I made this permit to let me see Pucchan!
Permit This permit authorizes Rino Rando to see Pucchan,
I'm sorry.
Nanaho's the one who made made this decision, so there's nothing I can do for you.
Pucchan!
It's miserable, sad and pitiful...
It's a pity.
Actually I feel the same way, but I do believe she needs to reflect on what she's done also.
Wh-What's the matter with you, Rino?
It's like she'd faded away or... even lost her colors...
Huh? Where's Pucchan?
Ayu-chan!
What? What is it?! What's wrong?!
Oh. Cute...
I see... They took Pucchan away from you, huh?
I can kind of understand why they did it, though.
Because when you talk through Pucchan, you become a different person, and...
I don't change at all. That's Puuchan talking!
That can't be! I mean, Pucchan is just a puppet, isn't he?
No, he's not! He's NOT just a puppet!
He's my friend! It's true.
I'm telling you the truth...
Pucchan was also there for me when my mom passed away...
Since he was there for me, I...
Mom...
Mom... Please say something!
I don't want to be alone!
I'm so lonely! This is so tough!
Hey Pucchan, tell me what I'm supposed to do.
What am I supposed to do...
Don't cry, Rino.
Pucchan?
Rino, you remember what your mom told you, right?
She said you're a strong girl.
She said you'll be okay.
Pucchan...
I'm not going anywhere. I'll be by your side forever.
Pucchan!
Isn't it touching?
Isn't it a little occultish?
No, it's not at all! It's a wonderful illusion!
Yeah, I guess so, but still...
That's right! I'll be with Pucchan forever!
I've decided!
You've decided what?
I'll convince Pucchan not to ever talk bad about other people!
And if I do that I think they'll return Pucchan to me.
Rino...
Crying isn't going to get me anywhere, right?
I'm gonna go do it now, Ayu-chan!
She agonizes alone, cries alone and recovers alone.
I guess that's what makes Rino, Rino.
Miss Vice President!
Rando?
Miss Vice President, I'd like to ask you a favor.
I'll tell Pucchan to...
Rando, I heard that the puppet has gone missing.
Huh?
Let's go check it out. Come with me.
Pucchan!
Explain the situation.
The jail cell we confined the puppet in has been opened.
And there's that too...
How could I go on without getting revenge for this?
And there's that too...
That's Pucchan's writing...
What?
So that means...
Is it possible that Pucchan has escaped from this jail cell...
...and is now plotting his revenge on us for putting him in there?!
No way...
How could I go on without getting revenge for this?
Pucchan...
I wonder where he is...
Don't worry, Rino. I'm sure he'll be back soon.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
He wouldn't get revenge on everyone, would he?
No, he wouldn't.
You're coming back to me, right?
You told me you'll stay with me forever...
Right, Pucchan?
A puppet's curse? Ridiculous!
There's no way such an unscientific thing would happen!
You're right.
Yeah.
Someone just took the puppet out of the cell, and drew that graffiti on the wall.
It's obvious!
I think so, too.
But if by any chance there were a puppet's curse,
it would have nothing to do with the Covert Squad.
What do you mean by that?
You're the one who ordered us to confiscate the puppet from Rino Rando.
And the three who actually took the puppet away from her
were Hida, Tsunomoto, and Izumi.
So if anyone is going to be targeted by Pucchan,
it'll be Nanaho and those other three Assault Squad members.
I'm getting scared now!
Yeah, me too.
What are you talking about?
Do you think I'll allow myself to be disturbed by a threat like...
What?
Oh, nothing.
Nothing at all.
That scream!
It was our treasurer, Mayura!
Mayura!
What happened?
L-Look!
Bratty
4-eyes
PUCCHAN WUZ HERE
Impossible!
How could the members of our mighty Assault Squad get beaten down so easily?
Could it be the puppet's curse?
Pucchan...
You'd better watch out, Nanaho.
I don't believe in any nonsense like a puppet's curse!
What?
Oh, nothing.
There's no doubt about it.
Nanaho Kinjo is next to come under my curse
The puppet's curse is real.
Pucchan...
Interesting. If that's how it is, then I accept his challenge.
I don't care if it's a curse or the occult or what,
but if I back down it'll bring shame on Best Student Council.
Come and get me if you dare! You cursed puppet...
I'm not going to run or hide!
I'm not going to run or...
Hide!
A blackout?
Nanaho Kinjo!
How could I go on without getting revenge on you for throwing me in jail?!
Who's there?
Who's manipulating the puppet?
No one is! This is Pucchan, no more and no less!
Don't underestimate the Best Student Council!
Kaori, turn the lights on!
How did it go?
Pucchan!
No...
Cyndi...
Does this mean you're the culprit?
No.
Don't play dumb!
You're wearing the puppet on your hand!
No...
I told you that I am me!
Shut up!
Revived!
Huh? What was that? That wasn't me!
It did it completely of its own accord!
Like I said I'm Pucchan!
I-It won't come off...
You creep!
Pucchan, please stop.
If you keep this up, people will hate you even more!
And if that happens we won't be able to be together any more!
I don't want that to happen!
Rino...
Please apologize to everyone.
Please, Pucchan.
Oh well... I understand, Rino.
Pucchan!
You're right. I crossed the line. I'm sorry.
Please forgive him, Miss Vice President!
I beg of you!
Nanaho, why don't you go ahead and make up with him now?
All right.
I must admit that the way I handled it was a bit too forceful.
And for that I'd like to offer you my apology.
Miss Vice President, you're a fine woman.
You darn puppet...
Pucchan!
I'm the kind of guy who follows through once I've made up my mind!
Revenge complete!
Y-You bastard!!
Pucchan!
Think about what you've done in the pouring rain!
P-Pucchan!
Pucchan!
Pucchan, please take care of Rino for me.
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, but I
I'm sorry, but I can't
I'm sorry, but I can't do this
I'm sorry, but I can't do this anymore...
That's right. This is
That's right. This is the perfect
That's right. This is the perfect occasion
for me
That's right. This is the perfect occasion for me to throw
That's right. This is the perfect occasion for me to throw in the
That's right. This is the perfect occasion for me to throw in the towel.
Pucchan! Pucchan!
Pucchan...
Speak to me...
Please!
I-Is that you, Rino?
Hang in there, Pucchan!
I was just playing a little prank, but look at what a mess it turned into.
You took it too far!
I'm like a bicycle with no brakes.
That's what you call defective!
You've got that right.
I've definitely been an irresponsible puppet.
Pucchan!
My eyes are getting blurry...
Sorry, Rino, but it looks like I won't be able to keep my promise to stay with you...
No way...
I'm sorry.
No! No! My mom's gone and now you're leaving me?!
What am I supposed to do on my own?
What are you talking about? You're not alone anymore.
You have friends in the Best Student Council now.
You shouldn't be with a no-good puppet like me.
That's right... This is what's best for you. It's is what's best for you.
Pucchan!
Is it possible that Pucchan has done all this deliberately
so that Rino could become more independent?
No way...
What a clumsy puppet...
Rino, my work ends here.
Have fun with your friends, all right?
Pucchan...
So long...
Pucchan! Pucchan!
Pucchan...
Please... Open your eyes...
Pucchan! Pucchan!
PUCCHAN!
Rando. I'm sorry.
Please don't say that.
After all, it was Pucchan's fault.
He was such a pain, you know...
Pucchan, you...
Sorry.
Rino.
Miss President.
Pucchan... He...
But..."He's feeling quite okay," right?
Huh?
He's pretending to be dead, right?
What can I say? Ya got me!
Pucchan!
What?!
I'm a little burned, but did you actually think that puppets die?!
Dummy! You got fooled!
W-Wait, Pucchan!
How could you!
You stupid puppet!
Wait!
So what happened?
Everything is back to normal! Right?
It's odd. I was really dead...
Say, Miss President, did you do something?
Well, I'm not sure...
Don't dodge the question!
Here's what I think.
Rino still needs you.
She's been able to forget the grief of losing her mother since you're with her.
Why don't you support her?
It's not that simple.
So please, stay with Rino.
Please?
I guess I have no choice.
Wow, so that's what happened, huh?
I tell you, Vice President was something else.
She was all like, "Rando, I'm sorry!"
That's kind of mean!
Hey, Pucchan!
Having fun?
Huh? Having fun?
Huh?
V-Vice President!
It's not what you're thinking! It wasn't me, it was Pucchan!
Then I'll punish the puppet!
Give him to me!
N-No, you can't do that!
Wait, Rando!
You can't!
I don't care! You still wait! You can't!
I don't care! You still wait!
Who am I really? I can't tell you, so get over it!
