It's a duel!
Art Club
Let's have a staring contest!
Ready, set,
go!
Kazam
Colette-san, you're in the way.
Sorry, but we can't see the model.
He's totally shooting for a stalemate with that face.
He's not trying to win.
Amazing as always, Usami-senpai!
Y-Yeah?
You really brought out his stalemate face.
Is that a compliment?
It's kind of dull, though.
Well, it's a still-life drawing.
What?!
Sorry.
It's just that I never draw exactly what I see.
Let's see.
No way!
No way, no way, no way!
I tried going easy on the cuteness.
She looks brave, huh?
I can't believe you said I was in the way.
This Art Club Has a Problem!
Mistake Train
Hey, are you going somewhere?
To the art supply store.
If there's anything you want, I'll buy it.
Oh, no, I'd feel bad. I think I'll go with you.
Yeah. Because I'd feel bad.
Yeah.
You don't have to worry.
Then how about you, Colette-san?
Nah.
I'll hold down the fort.
You two go ahead.

See you later!
Oof.
You sure are pale, though.
I can't say you look healthy.
Nice! Look how tanned he is!
Meat
I went too far...
What the heck?!
Hey, Cole-chan!
Aw, man.
I'm going to get in trouble for sure.
There we go.
Zoom!
I wonder if everyone's out.
This must be Uchimaki-kun's drawing.
It sure is cute.
There. Very well done!
Oh?
How to Sleep Soundly
Sheesh, those kids.
But where did all these come from?
Whew, that took a while.
It did.
I bet Cole-chan's bored to death.
Art Club
I know.
Hi again.
We're back.
Sensei?
Wh-Why?!
I'll go call someone! Take care of Sensei!
Okay!
Um... Um...
What am I supposed to do in this situation?
Oh, right! I read once in a manga...
Yoshida and Sensei
I think it was in this manga...
Wait! This is no time to be reading!
I'm sure there was a similar situation in this book...
"Sensei..."
"This is bad. She's unconscious."
"Her life may be in danger if I don't do something."
"I'll have to... perform mouth-to-mouth"?!
Man, there was no fighting that nice weather on the rooftop.
Who left the door open?
What's going on?
What kind of situation is this?
I got anxious and came back.
This must be what it feels like to return to the scene of your own crime.
Huh?
President-senpai.
What are you doing?
Colette!
Come with me!
What is it?
Just come!
You're hurting me!
So?
W-Well...
I went to the club room, and something unbelievable was going on.
Huh?
Something unbelievable...
Of course I'd get busted.
Hang on, I thought Uchimaki had no interest in 3D girls.
Uh, President-senpai...
Yeah?
Actually, it's my fault.
Huh?
I was the one who made it like that!
What?!
So she's the one who brought those two together?
Wait, but why?
I saw him, and I thought,
"He's not healthy."
Ghastly white...
This is my waifu.
You have a point.
But you took it too far.
I'm sorry.
I mean, I don't mind,
but Usami will be pissed.
I know.
She might even kill you.
She'd go that far?!
Just how much does she like that thing?!
"That thing"? He's technically your senpai, you know.
That thing's my senpai?
Of course.
He's been in the Art Club half a year longer than you.
To think I have to treat that thing as my senpai...
Seniority is so strict in Japan.
You're being pretty mean today...
Over here, hurry!
Please, Sensei, come quickly!
Usami...
I sure am getting old.
Huh?
President, Cole-chan.
What are you doing here?
Oh, well...
Um...
Did you see what happened in the club room?
Huh? You already saw it?
Yes, that's why I called Sensei.
Stop! Are you seriously going back?
Of course I am! We need to do something!
There's nothing we can do.
Of course there is!
We can take her to the nurse's office bed!
That was great.
Oh, Uchimaki-kun...
You really don't care if she takes Uchimaki?
Huh?
Well, what if Uchimaki does this and that—
Wait a second. What are you talking about?
Huh? Sorry, what did you see in the club room?
Huh? I thought it was Yumeko-sensei who'd passed out.
No, I saw Yumeko-sensei with her eyes closed softly,
while Uchimaki was like... this.
Or more accurately, he was about to do that!
No, no, no!
There's no way Uchimaki-kun, of all people, would do that!
That's what I thought, too.
There's absolutely no way he'd do that!
Do you mean...
Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?
Hey, Usami!
She's fast...
Wait a second!
What are they talking about?
I can't! Not with a 3D!
I know there's a human life at stake, but...
Thank goodness! You're awake—
Usami-san. Good timing.
Look, Tachibana-sensei's awake now.
D-Did you do it?
Huh?
Did you give her
mouth-to-mouth?
Oh, I get it! Of course!
There's no way you could do that, Uchimaki-kun.
Besides, even if you try to help, mouth-to-mouth isn't the best idea.
Nowadays, they say you're supposed to start with chest compressions.
She's so relieved, she won't stop talking.
Sorry for causing such a commotion.
You sure know a lot.
Why were you passed out in the first place?
I-It's not as if I'm interested in that kind of stuff!
Believe me!
Th-There's a human head in that box!
I was so surprised that I...
But that can't be right, can it?
My eyes must have played a trick on me.
Oh, there really is a human head in here.
No way!
My!
Huh? What is this?
This is awful.
We were just using that as a model earlier.
What happened?
Yeah...
My waifu's going to have different attributes now.
You can still use it as a model?
Wh-What's wrong, Cole-chan?
Why are you groveling?
What the heck?!
Doves, Mermaids, and Pool Cleaning
Uchimaki is late.
Colette's going to show up.
What exactly did you have him buy?
Something essential for a very important ritual.
Wait, Uchimaki...
Did someone do something to him to try to stop the ritual?
Would you like to try calling him?
Oh, thanks.
Hang on a second.
When did you two exchange numbers?
You should have told me.
O-Oh, that...
My phone malfunctioned and added it by itself!
Well, that's a real problem.
Want me to delete his number for you, then?
Do that, and I'll delete you from existence.
Whatever, just call him already.
Fine, fine.
Hey, Usami...
What now?
I don't see Uchimaki's number in your contacts.
Oh, is it this one that says "Subaru"?
Saved under his first name, huh?
No!
Come on, I'm sorry. My bad.
S-Swear you won't tell Uchimaki-kun!
Fine, fine.
You have to swear!
I got it, okay?
President, I bought a magic circle.
Uchimaki-kun...
Good job.
What are you even using it for?
Huh? What's wrong?
Check this out. Usami has your—
Huh?
Let us begin the ritual.
Through the ritual, your soul will be destroyed,
and you will be reborn.
Are you prepared?
I was born ready.
No, before I was—
Begin the ritual!
The ritual is done!
That's the end of the ritual?
What kind of make-believe is this?
I don't know.
A bird?
Yes, a bird.
I am a bird.
A bird.
Why'd she repeat it with fluent pronunciation?
Allow me to introduce you.
She is born:
A symbol of peace, Dove-san.
How is she a dove?
Coo, coo.
Coo, coo, coo!
You were talking normally a second ago.
What is she saying?
Oh, she said...
"I'm getting sleepy. Could you move over?"
You're so lying!
The deadline to register for the next competition is coming up, isn't it?
Is it?
I was stupid for asking you.
Why'd you have to say it like that?
No reason.
You were totally making fun of me.
No, I said I'm the stupid one.
Coo, coo.
Coo?
Coo. Coo!
Coo, coo.
What is she saying?
Please go back to being human.
Hi, everyone.
Sensei.
I know this is sudden, but I'm going to announce our plans for tomorrow.
Coo, coo.
Why?
Why does the Art Club have to clean the pool?!
What can we do about it?
Sensei got us roped into it.
Staff Office
It's that time of year.
The advisors for each club will draw lots to choose
who will be in charge of cleaning the pool.
I thought Koyama-sensei had bad luck with draws like those...
Come on. It's not that bad!
It'll be good exercise.
You're so positive.
She's right, though.
You might get a good tan, Uchimaki-kun, since you're so pale.
But you're pale, too, Usami-san.
I'm supposed to be. I'm a girl.
I'm supposed to, right?
Why are you asking me?
Why? Er...
Fire source detected!
Extinguish!
Beware of fire hazards!
Cole-chan!
Hey, don't run! It's dangerou—
I could've told you that would happen.
Ow...
You've really perfected the clumsy girl act.
Th-That's not what I was doing!
Run away!
Stop!
What are those two doing?
Warm-up exercises, I guess.
Where have you been?
I went to the club room.
Where's Sensei?
Tachibana
I guess it's too tight.
I want to go help the others!
Perfect.
Here.
Paint?
No, it's a type that washes off easier.
Washes off?
Are you...
Indeed.
I hereby declare this the Art Club's new canvas!
We're drawing on the pool?
Yeah.
You've got to be kidding.
Don't worry. We're washing it anyway.
I don't think that makes it okay.
It sounds fun, though!
Really fun!
If we get in trouble, we'll just apologize!
That's the spirit!
Bluer than the blue of the skies
Redder than the sun
Greener than the summer grass
Yellower than the sunflowers
We spent our days painting
New colors on top of each other
With each new layer
We walked down life in no big hurry
All the things that matter
Vanish so quickly
But let's go look once more
Inside the shoe locker
In the corners of the schoolyard
Before these colorful days
Become nothing more than memories
In our hearts
In our minds
We'll paint on
We aren't clever enough to put it into words
So we'll draw until we're bored
Until it gets silly
The life we live now
We did it!
I have to say, it's super awesome!
Yeah!
It was hard to figure out the proportions, since it's so big.
I know! Let's all take a picture together!
You guys!
We should start removing it, or we'll run out of time to clean up.
Okay.
It's a bit of a shame, huh?
You're crying!
Well...
Let's take some more pictures, okay?
All right...
Ready? I'm going to spray it.
Are you still bummed out?
No, it's not that.
This isn't coming off at all.
N-No way, that can't be true.
He said it washes off easily.
You must not be scrubbing hard enough.
President, just to be sure,
you didn't accidentally bring non-removable oil-based paint,
did you?
Now that you mention it,
I might not have been paying attention.
No, no, no! What are we going to do about this?
We're going to need a ton of nail polish remover!
Do we even have enough club funds?
Hey! Hold it, President!
Coo, coo!
C-Coo...
Coo.
He says, "I'm sorry."
That's not even an apology.
This should do it.
I hope the kids are working hard.
Okay, time to clean!
Preview
Nice to meet you.
My name is Imari Maria.
I hope we can be good friends.
Thank goodness! You were holding your right eye like you were in pain,
so I thought your Black Dragon Eye power had awakened.
Plus... I wanted to talk to you, Uchimaki-kun.
Yeah, I love them!
Let's hear it.
If thou wouldst enter into the pact of friendship with me, take mine hand.
This one's an original.
Do you have time after school today?
