Hiyama
Tsuruoka! We were successful again today!
We should stop rummaging through the Hiyama family's trash every morning, my lady.
She told us not to come near here, after all.
This is a tissue Onee-sama used!
Ah! And it has the scent of her favorite rose perfume on it!
Sniff Sniff
Something like this belongs in a treasure box, not a trash can!
By the way, it's time to go to school, but I haven't seen Onee-sama leave yet.
Akane-san already left a while ago.
Anyway, what's this?
Wh-Why are you here?
Because I thought you seemed interesting.
Love Tyrant
Sniff Sniff x The Only One Who May Hurt Seiji-kun... Is Me
Akua, you're back from your training camp?
Y-You haven't met Guri yet, have you?
Huh? Who's that? You're not making sense.
Wait a sec! Listen to what I have to say for once!
Don't touch me!
Ow...
A-Akane-san?!
Wait, what?!
Wait, Akane-san! That's my little sister!
Huh?
No way! I'm so sorry! I thought you were another homewrecker.
Nice to meet you! I'm Seiji-kun's future wife, Hiyama Akane.
What an idiot.
Akua!
Nurse's Office
Okay, next patient in love!
Tell us your name and what you need help with!
Um, I'm Oomori Rintarou.
I-I need help with the girl I've always had a crush on.
And what is her name?
Ts-Tsuchigusa Hanaka-san.
Yes, okay! That's all we need! Please head to where she is.
Okay! Hanaka-san!
Okay, next person, please!
Guri and Yuzu's Sure-to-Solve
Love
Clinic
Bring On the Love!
I hear it's amazing! Once you talk to them, your love is instantly realized!
Guri, what are you doing?
What are you doing, Yuzu?
Onee-sama!
The truth is, my motives have completely aligned with Guri-san's.
We are making full use of the Kiss Note's wonderful powers!
Hey
Ba-bump
x Hikita Itsujisan
For example, we'll pair the stalker who's been after you with a police officer!
Come with me to my room.
Okay!
Which is to say, I'm helping Guri-san with her cupid duties!
Yes, but we're only pairing up couples who are already in love, like you said!
It looks to me like everyone's just indiscriminately falling in love.
Oh, come on!
Since you became my lover, you were supposed to do the cupid job, too,
Guri x Aino Seiji x Hiyama Akane x Kichougasaki Yuzu
but you haven't done anything!
People who are all talk are pathetic.
All he's good at is complaining. Honestly...
Okay, I get it! I'll search for candidates to couple up, too!
Let's go, Akane-san!
Okay!
I'm confiscating this, too!
Jeez! What is with that guy?
Hey, let us in!
Why does my sister like such a violent person?
This isn't fair!
Shut up! They're finished for today!
He got you caught up in all this too, didn't he, Guri-san?
No, I coupled up with him of my own free will.
Th-Then you like him, too?
I'm not sure.
I've never experienced this "love" thing.
But something about Seiji-san excited me.
He's interesting and fun, so in that sense, I love him.
I-It's a wonder how you get by as a cupid, then.
I do have knowledge of what it is, though.
I've learned from manga, anime, and internet message boards.
I know this because I'm in love with Onee-sama,
but love isn't something you can understand through such things.
I think it's something you feel with your heart.
My heart?
Whoops...
I swear, those two...
Guri's one thing, but I can't believe Yuzu-chan's abusing the Kiss Note, too.
It made me happy when he said "Come with me" earlier.
Ow...
I-I-I'm sorry, Class Rep!
No, it's my fault.
Mari, are you okay?
I'm fine, I'm fine. I was just spacing out.
It's unusual for you to space out like that, Class Rep.
Mari...
Are you, by chance, in love?
If there's someone you like or want to go out with, just tell me!
I might be able to make you two into a couple immediately, like Seiji-kun and me.
Akane-san, I think you're coming on a little strong.
Someone I want to go out with, huh?
What I have is kind of the opposite, though.
"I am a black flower that bloomed under the cover of darkness."
The heck? How cheesy.
It's a love poem!
In short, it means, "Just watching you makes my heart feel like it's tearing apart.
How should I express these feelings? Even so, I cannot stop thinking about you."
It means all that?!
At any rate, the person who wrote this is in the throes of unrequited love!
Then what do you say we find this person and make their love a reality?
Let's do it!
We will truly be doing cupid-like work then!
E-Excuse me, did a piece of p-paper happen to fall in here?
Kusunoki-sensei?
Oh, my! He's handsome!
You're the one who...
You read it?!
We more deciphered it than read it.
I-It's gross, isn't it? For a guy to write something like this...
Not at all! It's a wonderful poem that profoundly resonated with my heart!
R-Really?
Who are you in love with right now?
Who is the person that you've fallen in love with, Kusunoki-sensei?
No, I-I...
Hey, Guri! What kind of fuss are you making now?
The moment I look away, you cause more problems.
Oh, Kusunoki-sensei?
Please listen to this, Seiji-san!
We have found a proper coupling candidate!
Sure, sure. More importantly, this is good timing, Kusunoki-sensei.
The class rep was just carrying these boxes to your office.
It's rather mean of you to make a girl carry such heavy boxes.
Sensei? What's the matter?
Huh? Ah, no...
Hey, are you okay?
Sorry about that. I was careless.
Kusunoki-sensei! Please pull yourself together!
M-M-M-M-Mari-kun!
Don't just sit there! Stand up straight!
Y-Yes!
Jeez!
Tuck your shirt in!
Straighten out your lab coat!
Don't let your hair get so unkempt!
Tie your tie properly!
Teachers are examples to their students.
Be a prudent source of good conduct.
Make an effort to avoid presenting such a vapid appearance.
Okay, you should be fine now.
It can't be!
The person Kusunoki-sensei is in love with is...
The person the class rep doesn't want to go out with is...
So that's what's going on!
1st Joint Strategy Meeting
Yay!
Guri, this isn't a problem we need to have a meeting about.
1st Joint Strategy Meeting
Yay!
The answer is obvious.
I know that Sensei is in love with the class rep,
but she doesn't want to go out with him.
Above all, they're teacher and student. It's out of the question.
Boy x boy is okay, so I'm not sure how teacher x student is bad.
Guy couples are just your hobby!
Sensei is serious about Mari-san!
She's right. Let's pair them together.
But the class rep made it pretty clear that she's annoyed by him.
I'm not so sure about that.
I think if she really didn't like him, she'd reject him more clearly.
You're amazing, Onee-sama!
See, that means it's not necessarily off the table!
Okay, let's observe Sensei and the class rep's feelings a bit more so that
we can convince even the constantly obnoxious Seiji-san. Then we can think about it.
You come up with good ideas every once in a while.
Heh heh!
Then, Guri-san, let's do our best ourselves!
Huh? We're splitting up?
Of course we are! Let's make their love a reality!
And we'll prove that our way of going about this isn't wrong,
and then we'll embarrass you in front of Onee-sama!
Let's go, Guri-san!
Okay!
Hey! It's not to make their love a reality,
it's just to confirm their feelings for each other!
And they're gone.
Well, so long as they don't have the notebook, they can't do that much harm.
Now, then! If you come clean, your heart will feel lighter for it!
Spit it out already!
Broadcast Room
Wh-What do you want me to say?
We wanna make ya scream whatcha feel to the whole school.
Shout out that you love Mari-san into this microphone!
I-I can't do that...
I'm sorry!
I should've known this wouldn't go so easily.
Let's move on to the next plan.
Right!
You wanted to talk to me?
It's about Kusunoki-sensei.
I know it's none of my business,
but things will get complicated if this goes on.
That's all?
And here I thought you were going to abandon Akane and confess to me.
No, th-that wasn't my intention!
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
If that was really the case, Akane would kill me.
Please wait, Sensei!
Where are you?
You know a lot about Akane-san, don't you, Class Rep?
Her hidden sides, and her real self.
We've been friends for a long time.
So what about Kusunoki-sensei?
Ah, right.
The two little runts are flipping out about finding out what his feelings are,
Runts
but in order to stop them, I wanted to ask you what your feelings are.
My feelings?
Whether or not you'd be willing to accept Sensei's feelings toward you.
Of course I wouldn't.
A student and a teacher? That's right out of a TV drama.
To be prudent in all things is my motto.
Y-Yeah, you're right!
Then it's probably best to be very clear when you reject him.
Yeah, you're right, of course.
Sensei's clumsiness reminds me of my little brother, so I can't help caring about him.
I see, so your feelings toward Sensei are like those of a mother.
I'm convinced.
Huh? That's it?
Yeah. So it really was like I thought.
I'm sorry for asking you such a weird question!
It's fine.
Ah, Sensei...
Th-Th-That's—
Did you write this?
It was lying here, so I couldn't help looking.
A poem? Or lyrics? Is this your hobby?
I-I-I'm going to throw it away, so give it back!
You shouldn't. You went to the trouble of writing it. Throwing it away would be a waste.
It's so wonderful that you can write such beautiful lines.
You just can't throw it away.
But isn't it weird for a guy to write such feminine things?
Is it? Hmm...
Well, just the fact that you can write this is amazing.
Besides, if it's you doing it, it's not weird.
Good boy, good boy.
Did I depress you?
I can't believe this.
I didn't mean to make you feel bad...
I've fallen in love.
Hey, Sensei, are you all right?
But I have to cast these feelings aside.
Sensei! Sensei!
Sensei!
Aino-kun?
What a relief. I've been looking for you.
I was worried they were doing something weird to you again.
Where are they?
Ah, it's fine.
I guess they were completely exasperated by my uselessness.
No, they're just making a fuss for their own amusement and not thinking.
No, it's my fault.
Why are are you getting so stressed out over this?
S-Sensei! Kusunoki-sensei!
Yuzu-chan?
Gah! Aino-san!
Why "gah"?
It doesn't matter! Anyway, there's an emergency!
Mari-san has been taken hostage in a robbery!
What?!
Where?!
I-In town...
Okay!
Eek! Someone help me!
Mwahaha
I call this plan
"The Brave Hero Saves the Heroine, Who Has Been Attacked by a Robber."
Stop right there!
Sensei
Sensei!
Grr
Take that!
Punch
Gwah
In a crisis, feelings that were vague will ignite, and things will get steamy!
Ahahaha
You're amazing, sensei
Argh
And they shared a happy kiss. The end
This way, Seiji-san can't complain if we write their names in the notebook.
It's a wonderful idea that kills two birds with one stone.
I can just picture Seiji-san's frustrated face now!
Crap!
Huh? Weren't you in the nurse's office?
How can she tell?!
There's been a bank robbery!
Run away!
Please wait, boss!
They're here?!
Damn it!
Stay away! Or there's no telling what I'll do to her!
Huh?
Over there!
Guri-san? Who's captured them?
Guri?!
Oh, Yuzu-san! Seiji-san! Hey there!
Guri?! Why are you here? And what's with that get-up?!
Well, I've been captured.
It's like that saying, "The mummy hunter will become a mummy himself," isn't it?
Shut up, you! You're acting too relaxed!
Mari-kun!
S-Sensei?
Sensei, don't you have a staff meeting today?
Are you sure you should be here?
And you! Don't just have a leisurely chat!
Guri, is this your doing?
Guri-san, did you plan this?
No, this is really happening.
Mari-kun, are you okay?
Sensei, you have to hurry back to the school!
Seiji-san, take a commemorative photo of us!
You know...
Hey, now! Stop chatting away like normal!
You're both hostages, so feel more pressured!
Yuzu-san, our plan may have gone off the rails,
but it's unfolding just the same, so let's proceed as planned!
You're right!
As planned?
Sensei, now!
Save Mari-san in a cool manner, and make her heart race!
If you do that, she'll surely return your feelings!
Think of this as the last chance you've been given!
E-Even if you tell me to save her,
the criminals have guns, so it's better to let the police handle this.
Bro...
Then why did you come rushing to her when she was in danger?
You forgot yourself and came rushing to save the girl you love, right?
You can't run away!
Act before you decide it's hopeless, and give yourself over to an honorable death!
Don't miss your chance and think that it's better that way!
Face her, even if it kills you!
Directly tell her the feelings that you spilled out on paper!
I-I...
Sensei...
I told you guys to shut—
Extras are to be quiet!
Ext...
Who are you calling extras?!
No matter how you frame it, the one who'll be starring on today's news is me!
B-Bro, I can't believe you really fired.
Well...
Are you all right?
A-Aino-san?
Ouch! It just grazed me, but man, it hurts!
Are you okay, Yuzu-chan?
Wh-Why? I have repelling abilities, so I don't need you to protect me!
Oh, that's right!
Well, I won't die either, so it's fine.
E-Even so, I don't need your help!
But still, I don't think it's okay to let a girl get hurt.
Sensei, while even I agree that this is a weird setting for a confession of love,
there may be some truth to what Yuzu-chan is saying.
You have to save the class rep.
Just what are you thinking, attacking a girl like that?!
Shut up! Don't start acting up now!
Let me go! I'm going to lecture you!
S-Silence! If you say another word, I'll shoot you next!
S-Stop!
Let her go!
Sensei!
What's with you? Are you scared?
Of course I'm scared. But I'm more afraid of you hurting that girl!
Sensei! Now!
Let her go!
So weak!
Sensei!
I-I used violence on someone.
Wh-Why, you!
If you're gonna do this, do it right!
You're embarrassing me!
I found you, Seiji-kun!
Akane-san?
Onee-sama!
Jeez, I've been looking for you.
How did you get that wound?
He was shot by these guys.
You shot Seiji-kun?
Where'd you pop up from? What do you want?
You hurt Seiji-kun.
What of it—
Onee-sama is amazing!
The only one who may hurt Seiji-kun...
is me.
So irrational...
Go, Onee-sama!
Akane...
M-Mari-kun!
Y-You might think what I'm about to say is strange,
b-but I want you listen!
Sensei?
I-I may be your teacher, and
y-you may be just a student for now, but one day,
when the labels of "student" and "teacher" have disappeared,
I have something I want you to hear.
I don't want to run away from my own feelings anymore!
I know this is incredibly selfish of me.
But when the time comes, won't you give me a chance?
A chance to tell you my feelings someday!
That was my intention from the start, though.
Huh?
You're going to confess to me when we're no longer teacher and student, right?
But you tend to act on your emotions, so I was worried.
I was trying so hard to seem like I didn't suspect anything.
Do you promise? When the time comes,
let me hear you recite your poem full of your feelings for me.
I'll be waiting.
What?!
Th-The class rep likes Sensei?!
Shh! First, shouldn't you stop Akane instead of focusing on me?
Sh-She's a demon...
Akane-san, please stop.
Class Rep, were you serious about what you said earlier?
That you would be waiting for Sensei.
After you said you didn't want to go out with him, and that it was impossible?
That's right. So the plan for now is...
I'll graduate from college and get a stable, high-paying job.
A teacher's salary is low.
Which means that you do love Sensei, after all.
I never said I didn't love him.
It's because I love him that I won his heart with this slow and steady method.
Th-Then... If it's mutual, that's all the more reason
to write your names in the notebook
and make sure it happens.
That might be nice, too,
but sometimes it's better to enjoy the process of love, rather than just its realization.
I was surprised, though. I didn't think I'd get to hear Sensei's true feelings now.
Thank you.
The class rep is sort of a little devil, huh?
She's a strategizer.
We know it's mutual, yet we can't write their names down.
When did you...
That's why I told you to think it through.
Though all we did this time was butt in.
A-Aino-san!
Well...
I want to th-th-thank you for protecting me earlier.
However!
This doesn't mean I've accepted you as Onee-sama's partner!
Don't get all full of yourself!
She's a tsundere!
Seiji-kun!
Seiji-kun, save me!
Onee-sama!
Well, it can't be helped this time.
We'll just call this a reservation for a future couple.
Hey! What are you doing?
Stupid brother...
