I Want You to Be Here
Dear Mr. Poppit.
It's been a while since I last wrote you.
Listen to this! I became a ninja today.
I'll be, like, throwing shuriken and tossing smoke bombs then disappearing!
You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?
Well, let me explain how things happened...
Rino! Minamo! Will you help the Best Student Council's Covert Squad out?
Yes!
So we're here to help you!
Th-This is a nightmare...
That's what happened.
But...
I don't need your help.
She disappeared! That's the Covert Squad for you!
That's awesome!
That's so cool!
You know you just got left behind?
What was Seina thinking, revealing my identity to those two?
At this rate, it'll cause problems with the Covert Squad's activities.
Kutsugi!
Over here!
That girl is the secretary of the student council...
Rando, was it?
Why is she dressed up as a ninja?
Kotoha!
The Best and the Covert...
Th-This is a nightmare...
What in the world is going on?
Like we already said, we were told to help the Covert Squad, and...
It sounded like interesting work, so we accepted!
Right?
I've told you this many times already, but I don't need any help.
What? Don't say that!
Fine! Then I'll tell the entire school that you're a member of the Covert Squad, and...
Please help me!
Okay!
So what do you want us to do?
Let's see...
First you need to take off the flashy outfits and...
Yeah, yeah?
Go back to your classroom and attend class.
And?
That's all.
That doesn't count as us helping you!
But that's the best thing you can do for me.
LISTEN UP, EVERYONE!
THE KOTOHA KUTSUGI FROM THE 9TH GRADE
AT MIYAGAMI ACADEMY IS ON THE BEST STUDENT COUNCIL'S...
I have a secret mission for you! AT MIYAGAMI ACADEMY IS ON THE BEST STUDENT COUNCIL'S...
I have a secret mission for you!
Rino, she said "secret mission"!
Awesome! I'm going to brag about it to Miss Kanade when I go back to the dorm!
Please keep it a secret.
Oh, right!
Hey, Covert girl, arguing with them is pointless.
Just pretend you got bit by a dog and stop struggling.
We'll do our best! We're gone in the smoke!
This is a nightmare... We'll do our best! We're gone in the smoke!
Her name is Mayumi Minegishi.
Ma
Her name is Mayumi Minegishi.
Mayumi
Her name is Mayumi Minegishi.
Mayumi
Her name is Mayumi Minegishi.
Minegishi
She's scheduled to be transferred to Miyagami Academy three days from now.
She's our target for this mission.
Question! Did this Minegishi person do something wrong?
While observing her activities prior to the transfer,
we obtained information that a young man has been going in and out
of the apartment where she now resides on her own.
It is our job to verify the authenticity of this report.
Minamo, she said "a young man"!
It's an illicit sexual relationship!
Wh-Wh-Wh-What are they doing together, I wonder!
I'm sure they kiss each other and stuff!
How wild!
You idiots! Stop being so naive!
Of course they're doing something MUCH MORE than that!
Like, they make sumo moves and wrestling moves on each other!
RUMBLE ROSES has nothing on them!
I don't know what that's supposed to mean, but it sure sounds wild!
Stop letting your imaginations run away with you.
Okay.
Sorry.
I will start monitoring Mayumi Minegishi now.
I'll help you! I'll do my best!
So are you really serious about this?
Of course I am!
There's no way I can sit back and watch something this interesting!
Minamo, that's not the right attitude!
Kotoha, let's check on Minegishi properly and prove her innocence!
Prove her innocence?
Huh? Isn't that what we're going to do?
Oh, um, I guess you're right.
All right, let's get ready for monitoring,
and meet in front of the Miyagami station in two hours.
Roger!
There's no issue with Mayumi Minegishi's background or academic records...
But something is just not right...
Something...
Kuon Ginga...
Kotoha...
I heard about it from Seina.
You've been doing a background check on a transfer student, haven't you?
Thank you for taking care of it.
I no longer consider you as the top member of the Covert Squad.
I act under the student council's intention.
W-Wait! I was just...
Oh dear...
Myagam Pennsua Station
It's already five minutes after...
Sorry I'm late!
What are you wearing?
I figured I should dress for the occasion!
I'm Rando from Miyagami Police Department!
Why the police?
Oh, here's my business card!
I don't want it.
Why? I don't want it.
Why?
I'm late!
It took me forever to get my hair under control!
You look so cute, Minamo!
At ease, Rino!
We're about to go monitor someone, so why are you wearing such a flashy outfit?
What are you talking about?
It's common sense to dress cute when you go out, you know!
That's the basic rule of being a girl!
No, I meant...
What did you bring, Rino?
I didn't want us to get hungry, so I asked Maachi to make lunch for us!
That's my girl!
I brought my portable game systems!
Great! We'll never get bored now!
That's my Minamo!
Th-This is a nightmare... That's my Minamo!
Th-This is a nightmare... Wow, it looks delicious!
Now she's home.
It doesn't look like there's anyone else in there...
Kotoha, I'm getting hungry...
You just ate a little while ago.
Monitoring is so boring! I'm tired of playing games, too!
Then go home.
All right! Then go home.
All right!
I personally determine that Mayumi Minegishi is innocent!
And that's the end of monitoring!
Don't run the show.
The Covert Squad's duties are too tedious and so boring!
Not to mention the people in the Covert Squad are also tedious.
What? You think so? I think Kotoha is beautiful.
What are you talking about?
Well, she does have nice features...
See what I mean?
Will you just stop that?
But you know, girls need to SMILE.
You're always frowning and looking depressed!
The Covert Squad has no need for smiles.
As long as I can carry out my duty properly, I'm fine with that.
What a boring life!
It's satisfaction enough for me.
Um, Kotoha, can I ask you something?
What?
Why did you become a member of the Covert Squad?
Because I thought it was the place where I could maximize my abilities.
And...
And?
Nothing.
Basically you made the decision for yourself to become a member of the Covert Squad, right?
Right.
Then that's okay. I'm sorry to ask you an unnecessary question...
No problem.
It's okay because I made the decision for myself, huh?
She said something like that to me, too...
You didn't have to come run after me...
Now, I, or rather, the Best Student Council will protect her.
The others have also made the same decision for themselves.
Kotoha, if you're here because someone told you to be,
and you're not happy about it, then there's no need for you to come to Miyagami Academy.
It is okay to be free.
It's true that I came to this school because I was ordered to.
But I accepted the order with my own will.
Therefore, I came here of my own will.
So you decided that on your own... Of your own free will.
Yes.
I see, then that's okay. Welcome to Miyagami Academy!
Welcome aboard, Kotoha Kutsugi.
Then I met her...
So you wish to join the Covert Squad?
Yes, I do.
Collecting information is actually a tedious and boring job.
Also you'll see people's ugly sides.
I don't mind that.
You don't smile, do you?
If I have to smile as a part of the Cover Squad's mission, I will.
That's not what a smile is all about.
But very well.
I'm looking forward to having you with us.
Good job, Kotoha.
That was one tough mission.
Sounds like it'd be best not to share that with the president.
Thank you, Kotoha.
Why... Why am I so irritated?
K-Kotoha!
What's the matter?
Look! A man is going inside Minegishi's apartment!
What?!
Mayumi Minegishi
That man...
He's an agent of the Nafrece Intelligence Organization...
Kokyu Fujisawa...
They're going to kiss! Kiss!
They're going to do something MORE than that!
So wild!
Kotoha?
Kotoha's gone!
Where in the world did she go?!
Where do you think? She went to the scene!
The scene?!
That's one reckless girl...
I see. So you met Kanade Jinguji, huh?
Yeah, five days ago. At the interview for the transfer.
She's a pretty girl.
And she's got this dominating presence... It almost took my breath away.
So she's the candidate to be the next head of the Jinguji Family, right?
Candidate to be the next head of the Jinguji family
So she's the candidate to be the next head of the Jinguji Family, right?
Yup, and that's credible information.
The Jinguji family supports Japan behind the scene.
And it's not financial power or organizational strength
that's been bringing the family its prosperity.
It's a special ability that only the Jinguji family have...
And your job is to figure out what that is.
However, there has been no positive report from the surveillance agent
that we sent in three years ago.
That's why you called me in.
Exactly.
You said that the girl you sent in to monitor was
Kuon Ginga or something like that, right?
Yeah. She's been serving us since she was 13.
Is there a possibility that she's betrayed us?
None. The company run by Kuon Ginga's parents is financed by Nafrece's affiliate.
Even a 16 or 17-year old girl could figure out
what the consequence would be if she ignored our demand.
What?
She doesn't want her parents to find out what she's been doing.
That's why she's been keeping a distance from them.
She's afraid they might find out.
See, she's pretty faithful, right?
But she's stupid.
You're right.
In order to protect something important, she's keeping her distance from it.
But you know, a faithful girl like that wouldn't betray you. Never...
That bastard!
So you'll have to keep on investigating me.
Until you find out my secret, you will stay in this school,
and remain as a Vice President of the Best Student Council.
I can't make any move right now...
If I did, that'd only reveal the fact that we know the identity of Kuon Ginga.
And if that happened, she wouldn't be able to stay in the Best Student Council...
Not being able to say what you want to say...
Has she been always suffering a pain like that?
What is it?
Nothing... I guess that was just my imagination.
Kokyu Fujisawa...
Kotoha!
Don't just get up and disappear on us!
We didn't know what to do!
I'm sorry about that.
So how did it go anyway?
What are you talking about?
You know, inside the apartment of what's-her-face!
Was it wild?
How much of "rumble" was it?
The man who went inside her apartment is a relative of Mayumi Minegishi.
What?
In other words, she's clean.
Bummer! I got excited for nothing!
And after everything we've done?!
This is the Covert Squad's job.
But it's good to know that there's no problem!
I should apologize to Minegishi for being suspicious of her!
Yeah, you're right. I think I'm going to do that, too.
Big deal! Don't worry about that!
No need to do that!
I see... Now I kind of understand why Seina sent these two to work with me...
We heard it from Seina, we were informed by her and told by her!
You two helped the Covert Squad, right?
So how was it?
Tell me.
It was super boring!
All we did was keep watch on this person, but absolutely nothing happened!
Oh... Now I'm disappointed.
But I'm glad nothing happened, though.
You're right. Nothing is best.
Yes!
Normal is the best! Right?
But I think you're the most abnormal one in here...
But he's wonderful!
Don't forget to check in with us on a regular basis, okay?
Who do you think I am?
Who are you?
Don't you recognize my face?
Your information gathering abilities are too weak for you to be any kind of skilled agent!
And you over there.
At your age, are you seriously trying to get transferred to a high school?
You know you're pushing it too hard.
Are you from the Jinguji...
Yes, but no.
I am one who protects the Jinguji!
Unarmed?
Oh, you didn't know? Japan is kind of strict about that stuff.
Yeah, whatever.
Look here, dude!
Those girls are trying to enjoy their school lives to the fullest!
So do NOT get in their way!
Got that?
So is that the Jinguji's real power?
A kid?
You'd better not be deceived by my appearance.
I am with the Jinguji's inner guard.
I see. You're a cute little inner guard.
And you're pretty brave, too. But I'll have to get rid of you!
I have been properly trained. Keep that in mind when you deal with me.
Trust me, after what I saw earlier, I know.
I think I know why I'm here right now...
I'm here to protect those innocent smiles...
THAT is what the Covert Squad does!
What was that sound?
Yes, this is Kinjo #4.
The situation over here is under control. Thanks.
Even though I caught them, as long as that organization is around,
that girl has to continue monitoring, huh?
That's a problem...
Looks like Kotoha took care of it.
And Shiro seems to have helped with the situation, too.
Bro #4 did? I see...
But I put Kotoha in such a dangerous situation. I...
Miss President, she chose to be in the situation for herself.
Please let her have her way.
Right...
Miss President, do you think Kotoha will accept the issue with Kuon?
Well, actually I'm not worried about that.
After all, she is also a member of the Best Student Council.
I've joined you.
Kotoha?! When did you come in?
Just now.
As always, you appear in unexpected places and unexpected moments.
To see you without being seen by the other student council members,
I had to choose a place like this.
I apologize.
I-It's okay, that's...
Huh?
How did you get that scar?
It's no big deal.
Exactly what happened to you during today's mission?
Kotoha?
You care about your family...
And you also care about the Best Student Council...
Is that right?
No wonder you're the best member of the Covert Squad...
I guess I can't hide anything from you.
Kuon Ginga... You're a beautiful and intelligent person.
Even so, the situation you're in makes you extremely clumsy.
It's completely different from the image you portray.
But you know that's me.
Is that so?
Yes.
Go ahead and investigate Miss Kanade however you like.
And I'll stop you from doing so at any cost.
So...
Any courtesies and assistance you'd extend to me would be appreciated, Miss Vice President.
Thank you, Kotoha.
Last, tell me one thing.
What is it?
Why did you have a picture with you and Kokyu Fujisawa together?
Don't you hate him?
I had it so I wouldn't forget about that.
Miyagami Academy...
and the Best Student Council are very comfortable places for me,
so they make me want to escape the bad things and forget the situation that I'm in...
So I kept the picture with me in order to discipline myself.
You really are a clumsy person.
I'm sorry you feel that way, but I don't think I'm as bad as you.
Me?
I know that deep down you want to fit in with everyone.
No, I'm just...
I heard it from Seina.
I'm sure you had a good time with Rando and Minamo.
No...
Really?
J-Just a little...
This is the first time I've ever seen you smile.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, I guess it's all right to every now and then.
