There, done.
Is it cute?
Yeah, it's cute.
Does my nape excite you?
Yeah, it does.
Wh-What should I do?
A-Anyway, what are you going to do now?
We're going to continue practicing love, of course.
"Practicing love"?
What does that mean?
What is the president talking about?
Yeah, it looks good.
What?!
You're spinning too fast for me to see, though.
Impossible. The president...
The president everyone admires is...
I feel sick.
Are you stupid?!
If those girls who look up to you could see you now, they'd cry.
If that ever happened...
I'd cry first.
I-I'm sorry.
Hey, wait!
Was that the first-year secretary?
That's a fairy.
That was a fairy.
What should I do? What should I do?
What should I do?!
The Shy, the Cool, and the Perverted?
Hey.
It's been two days.
Maybe everything's fine now.
No, I'm done for.
I'm finished!
Come on, you can practice your embraces with your beloved Huggy.
W-Well, I mean, you're always...
Oh, hell!
It'll be fine.
She didn't even laugh at you.
It would have been better if she had laughed.
Huh?
I'd rather she had laughed instead of running away like that.
She scorned me.
She was such a good girl, too.
The Next Day
Hey, Suzu, are you friends with the president yet?
Lucky you.
Kurahashi-senpai joined the student council too, right?
Suzu?
You've been acting weird lately.
Are you having trouble with Kurahashi-senpai?
D-Don't be ridiculous!
I look up to the Wild Kid!
I call her "the W-K" for short!
"The Wacky"?
Are you sure you look up to her?
Did something else happen, then?
Well...
I saw their secret and ran away even though they tried to stop me.
I'm the worst.
They must be angry.
Is Tanahashi Suzune here?
The Wild...
Wild... Wild... Wild...
What are they chanting?
W... W... W-K!
Suzu?
"Wacky"?
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
I ran away again.
But my body just moved on its own.
Tanahashi?
You're in here, right?
I-I'm sorry! I suddenly felt a big one coming...
R-Right.
Listen...
Y-Yes.
Why were you hiding in the student council room?
I-I wasn't hiding.
I didn't mean to hide.
I'm not brave enough to face you two, so...
I meant to leave my paperwork there while you were gone that day, but...
So, what should we practice today?
So, I...
I see.
That's how you ended up seeing everything.
I'm sorry!
I won't tell anyone, so please forgive me!
Look, you don't need to apologize.
But could you come talk to Maki?
What?
She's really worried about it.
She thinks you scorned her.
N-Never!
I would never scorn the president.
I'm the one who...
Yeah, so why don't you tell her that?
Well, good luck dropping that big one.
After School
I hadn't considered how the president feels.
I should apologize to her.
E-Excuse me!
They're not here yet.
What should I do?
I could do some cleaning until they get here.
Huggy!
Oh, no!
I didn't pay attention to where I put that away!
Huggy is cheating on me!
That's what you're worried about?
I-I'm sorry.
My glasses... my glasses...
Glasses... glasses...
Ouch!
They must be disgusted with me.
I came to apologize, but there's no way I can do it now.
They must hate me.
President?
Tanahashi-san.
Will you be my master of clumsiness?
What?
What's a master of clumsiness?
Student Council President Maki Natsuo.
Popular among teachers and students alike,
works with speed and precision,
and is even considerate.
Thank you for your hard work, Sensei.
A perfect and faultless girl.
But, she commits a serious blunder once every six months.
How does that sound?
Doesn't sound like anything.
Come on, Riko.
It's all about the gap.
People who have it together sometimes make mistakes.
You told me I couldn't get
attention from boys if I didn't do clumsy things sometimes.
You still haven't given up on being a clumsy girl?
For example, I could release doves from my bag.
Are you a magician?!
While gracefully trying to make some tea, a bunch of flags pop out!
Those are magic tricks!
Normally, you'd accidentally make green tea instead of black tea,
or put in salt instead of sugar.
That's just nonsensical.
And what's your idea of "sense"?
Real clumsiness doesn't require special tricks.
I don't think I can be clumsy without using tricks.
You could call that thought itself clumsy.
I-I'm sorry, but you're just so funny...
I'm sorry about the other day.
Were you disappointed to learn how I really am?
I was surprised then,
but I think the difference between that and your usual behavior is cute.
That's great.
I told you so, Riko.
The answer is in the gap.
Let's practice approaching people using the gap.
Don't get ahead of yourself.
Are you talking about practicing love?
That's right.
Riko, the master of love, is instructing me.
H-Hey!
Master?
That's right.
She's made countless boyfriends fall in love with her.
That's amazing!
I can't talk to boys at all!
It's wrong to lie.
I should tell the truth.
Listen...
Can't bear to disappoint them
I thought you were both out of reach,
but you're just as interested in love as we are.
It makes me kind of happy!
I'm glad to have someone who accepts me for who I really am.
Conscience
Friendships are born from truth, aren't they?
I must maintain my position, so don't tell anyone.
But let's agree never to lie to each other here.
I agree!
My mother always told me thieves start out as liars.
You don't look well, Riko.
Don't worry about it.
The Next Day
Senpai!
Oh, Tanahashi.
What do you think the president is going to practice today?
Who knows?
I'm sure it'll be something stupid again.
Dealing comebacks to her is hard work.
Well, actually...
I thought it might be difficult, so I made this for you.
Made what?
Here.
You're ruthless, aren't you?
Maki!
President!
Hey, Maki! Wake up!
Should I call an ambulance?
Please carry me like a princess.
So?
What was that about?
I wanted to practice being carried...
Every maiden longs to be in that situation.
Through fields, mountains, and the 53 Stations of the Tokaido.
Is he a courier?
You always come up with the most ridiculous ideas.
How original.
Huh?
You've never wanted to be carried like a princess?
Have
The typical situation in which a girl is carried is when she loses consciousness.
So, that's what you were practicing.
But, I've never lost consciousness before.
I wonder what it's like?
I've never lost consciousness, either.
When you actually lose consciousness...
Some people smirk with the whites of their eyes showing.
Uh, um... I wonder what it feels like to be carried?
Maybe something like this?
When you actually lose consciousness,
you're apparently extremely heavy and may have to be carried like this.
You can hear them chanting, "Heave-ho, heave-ho."
Heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho...
Let's not talk about passing out any more!
Yeah!
It's rude to make light of it!
Let's go with spraining your ankle and being unable to move, then.
Ouch! I sprained my ankle!
That was sudden.
Is someone willing to carry me?
Don't just wait for someone to carry you!
I thought it would make me easier to carry...
Don't worry about that.
Instead of being so eager,
you should act embarrassed and refuse his offer once.
You'll try to stand your ground, but he'll insist on carrying you.
He might even tell you, "You're so light."
How specific.
Sh-Shoot!
I've fantasized about it so much, I just...
Oh, I know!
You're describing your experience to us.
You truly are a master.
I want someone to tell me I'm light!
Tell me how to make someone think I'm cute while they're carrying me!
I guess I don't have a choice!
I'm an idiot!
How can you make yourself feel lighter?
How would I know?
Tighten your stomach as much as you can.
That'll make you feel lighter!
Maybe...
Okay!
How can you make yourself seem cute?
I'd like to know!
S-Start by facing downwards.
Okay!
Th-Then, um...
Raise your head from time to time, and...
Use your eyes!
Your eyes?
That's right, your eyes.
If you can communicate with your eyes, he'll think you're cute.
Maybe...
Okay!
Let's practice. Stomach!
Stomach!
Eyes!
Stomach!
Eyes!
What's wrong?
Lately, I feel like I'm being watched.
Maybe it's just my imagination.
It's Kurahashi-senpai.
So wild...
It's the Wild Kid.
I don't think that's imaginary, nor a recent development.
Watch out!
The Wild—
What is this?
Harassment?
Maybe. I'm not sure.
You slim girl!!!
I'm not sure, either.
I know, right?
I found this in the papers I got from the teacher.
Maki Natsuo is too slim!!!
My, more harassment?
I can see you smiling.
Third-year, Enomoto Yuiko.
Relatively cute,
decent grades, and reasonably talented.
More or less trusted by those around her.
She is an average person.
Could you lay off the half-baked compliments?
Anyway, they don't seem hurt at all.
Are you sure you went to check, Sayo?
I knew something wasn't right.
There's no way they're trying to build muscle.
But, that's what I heard.
Stomach!
Eyes!
Wh-What?
Those are the words I heard.
It sounded like strengthening exercises.
How does that mean they're interested in bodybuilding?
In any case, I'm certain they're up to no good.
We'll gather evidence and expose them to the whole school.
Then it will be clear...
The student council president should not be Maki Natsuo,
but me, Enomoto Yuiko.
Just hearing you laugh makes you sound like a villain.
What?
Huh? There's something written on the back.
Low-ranking Member
Vice President
Mine says...
What is this?
I'm not low-ranking if I'm a member.
Could this one be a mistake?
It says, "vice president."
What terrible harassment.
What?
Now that I think of it, Maki-senpai is only the acting president.
Oh, right. You mentioned something like that.
I see, so that's why it says vice president.
The Next Day
No way. Really?
Really, really. She was laughing—
You there.
Keep your voices down in the hallway!
S-Sorry.
Sheesh.
Who was that?
She's a third-year student, Enomoto-senpai.
You know, the one who resigned to let Princess Fuji be the president.
I didn't resign!
Eno, keep your voice down in the hallway.
This sucks!
They're acting like I'm a thing of the past.
I'm still the actual student council president!
In that case, all you need to do is announce you're returning to your position.
Once you do that, you won't have to spy on them
with binoculars every day like a pervert.
That's not it!
Yesterday was only the second time!
I'm not a pervert!
She sounds like a pervert trying to make excuses.
I tried to settle things amicably,
but our faculty advisor said...
What? B-But Maki-san has become quite well established.
I-I mean, it's not as though there's anything wrong with you.
But, you know...
Right?
While I was spying on them, I noticed they were doing something weird!
Spying on people is something perverts do, right?
No!
I just want to find their weakness!
Don't you want to go back to being the treasurer?
I did finish allocating the club budgets for major events,
so I don't really care.
What? Don't you like calculating money?
I don't like calculating, I like money!
Intangible calculations are like torture.
Sayo seems kind of dangerous sometimes.
But, I need her to be more serious about helping me.
The club budgets have been allocated,
but there's going to be a provisional budget for the summer festival.
If you go back to being the treasurer now,
there will be plenty of cash for you to touch.
I must return to my position somehow.
All right.
Until now, I'd just been following you
because it was amusing to watch your perversion.
I told you, I'm not a pervert!
But I'm going to take this seriously from now on!
I'm telling you, I'm not a pervert!
Are you listening to me?
Why do they keep shouting about perverts?
Hey, are you listening to me?
She said she loves money.
Why are you just laughing?
Is that why she quit the student council?
Just who do you think I am, anyway?
Damaging their own reputations more than their enemies'
Hey!
Maybe you're taking those harassing notes too seriously.
But just in case it is someone like that,
I'm going to work even harder, so they'll give up.
You're trying to do things yourself again.
It's all right.
I'm talented.
Besides, once the harassment stops...
I can practice love feeling refreshed.
Refreshed?
Oh, right.
There's that treasurer you banished from the room, right?
If you ask her to come back, your work...
I know who's behind the harassment.
What?
It's the treasurer, Mizushima-senpai.
She would do something like this.
She's rather elusive.
She's exceptionally skilled at hiding her presence,
so she can approach and rummage through things silently.
Hey.
What is this?
Wh-When did you get in here?
Mizushima-senpai!
What? This is the treasurer?
I'm back.
Mizushima-senpai!
Hey, Tanahashi-san, what is this? What is it?
Th-That's the president's Hu—
Tanahashi-san!
"Hu"? "Hu" what?
Fool her.
H-Hu—
It's a self-portrait of Baron Hug-Hug!
Who?!
And he's a baron?!
What is that baron's self-portrait doing here?
Say something about the fact he's a baron.
H-He's an important figure and guardian angel of student council activities!
Stop, Tanahashi!
So, that's why he's wearing a school uniform.
She accepted it?
What an impressive explanation.
Oh, come on.
Am I wrong to be the only one calling her explanation stupid?
He's got a weird face, though.
Weird?!
Huggy is based on my ideal—
You idiot!
"My?"
My... my...
My parents and I were on a journey,
when a mysterious merchant encouraged us to buy an expensive...
Don't add to her explanation!
And why the English?!
Expensive?
In other words, it's valuable?
She's taking this in the wrong direction!
In that case, we should sell this.
I need to go show this to some people.
Wait!
You can't do that.
Why not?
Is there some reason I shouldn't?
She's pretending to be an idiot to get information?
Come on, just for a little bit.
It'll make him less effective as a protective deity.
Fine, then.
I give up!
Huggy!
Watch out!
Are you all right, President?
You're way too desperate to save him.
I just threw the guardian angel of the student council.
But he'll forgive me, won't he?
After all, he's forgiven a member who doesn't do anything
and a vice president who will do anything.
She really is behind this...
See you later.
And don't come back!
Huggy.
Sayo said she'd go check it out,
but she's taking a long time.
Maybe they found h—
No, I'm not going to spy on them anymore.
I'm not a pervert!
Eno.
Sayo, how did it go?
I declared war.
Huh?
Wait, huh?
What?!
Preview
As the third son of a poor noble family,
he left home in search of dreams and romance.
At the end of his various adventures, he arrived in an Eastern island country,
Fuji Girls' Kingdom.
There, he met a group of beautiful princesses embroiled in a fierce battle
and impressively shattered the designs of an evil witch.
Hey, what are you guys talking about?
The story of Baron Hug-Hug,
prior to becoming the guardian angel of the student council.
I guess there are people who put needless details into meaningless back stories.
