de frataum dalas!
You've improved a lot, Haruhi.
It's getting cold. Should we go back?
Yeah.
Ibuki-sama, please reconsider!
It is useless to try stopping stop me now.
I have to fulfil my promise with Natsune-nee-sama.
But, Ibuki-sama-
Enough!
Kamijou-san?
That unfamiliar girl with Kamijou-san...
I felt a bit uneasy when I heard them arguing.
The Mysterious
Transfer Student
I'll have gogokumai curry.
I'll take that, too.
What should I get?
That's unusual, Yuuma. You don't have a lunch box today?
Sumomo had to meet her friends and didn't have time to make lunch.
Friends, huh?
Maybe she found someone more important to her than Yuuma.
I-Important to her?
Nii-san!
Speak of the devil.
Sumomo-chan!
Perfect timing. I have someone I want you guys to meet.
What?!
No way. Did she really get a boyfriend?
Here, hurry, hurry.
Let me go! I said, let me go!
That girl...
Let me introduce you.
She's Ibuki-chan, a new transfer student in my class.
Nice to meet you, Ibuki-chan!
D-Don't address me as "-chan"! Please don't be so familiar with me.
She's shy! How cute!
Hey! Stop that!
It's a pleasure to meet you.
I'm Mizuhosaka Academy's number one nice guy, Takamizo Hachisuke.
Please call me Hachi!
Redaguna!
Brute! Don't befoul me with your touch.
Was that magic?
Um, Ibuki-chan belongs to the Magic Section.
She just transferred here, so I'm in charge of showing her around.
Why this huge difference in treatment?
Ibuki-san, have you known Kamijou Saya-chan for a long time?
Saya?
I saw the two of you near the lake last night.
That was none of your business!
Ibuki-chan!
Sorry, let's continue later.
Ibuki-chan!
Hey!
She's gone.
What's with her?
So you guys have already met her.
Her?
What do you mean?
You've heard this before, right?
The Shikimori family is a famous lineage in the field of magic.
Shikimori?
Her?
Yes, Ibuki-san is the heir to the Shikimori family.
She's like a celebrity among magicians.
So... that's why she could use offensive magic without reciting the whole incantation.
I knew she wasn't ordinary.
I hope you can help Ibuki-san get used to this school quickly.
Sure!
This smells fishy.
What does?
That girl, Shikimori Ibuki.
Why would the heir to the Shikimori family come to this school?
There's definitely a reason behind it.
A reason?
For example, she got sick of being the family heir and ran away from home.
Or maybe a forbidden love relationship!
Anri-chan, you're imagining things.
We'll know if I'm imagining things after I investigate a little.
Wait, Anri-chan!
Kamijou-san.
Please do not bother Ibuki-sama any further.
What do you mean?
Ibuki-sama is destined to leave this school soon.
What does that mean?
Wait.
How do you know her?
Kamijou-san, who is Shikimori-san to you?
That's...
Let me explain.
Ani-sama.
Kamijou-kun.
We, the Kamijou family, have served the Shikimori family for many generations.
Huh?
To us, Ibuki-sama is our precious mistress.
I won't hold back if you try to investigate any further.
Please be prepared for the consequences.
Kamijou-kun!
Ani-sama, I do not wish to fight them.
I don't either.
However, I had to say that, or they might have become involved.
In the event of the unthinkable,
it's better if we, the Kamijou family, are the only sacrifices.
Yes, Ani-sama.
What? She went home after that?
"I'm not in the mood to attend lessons today."
I had to make up an excuse for the teacher.
She sounds like a pretty unique girl.
Because of Ibuki-chan's personality, she still hasn't made any friends in class.
That's why I'm worried about her.
You really are kind.
I mean, since we're all in the same school, I want her to have some fun-filled memories.
I hope that you'll make more of these croquettes that are filled with sincerity, too.
Jeez, Mother!
That's great! Keep trying. I'll support you.
Right!
Huh? How to get closer to Ibuki-chan?
Yeah.
Sumomo doesn't know what to do about it.
Please give us some advice.
Please!
Kamisaka-san, too. Please help.
Eh? Um-
Okay, we'll help!
Anri-chan!
Did you forget what Kamijou-kun said yesterday?
How can you be discouraged by a threat like that?
Don't worry! Just leave it to me!

Why should we use e-mail?
You don't get it, do you?
Lower her guard through e-mail, and then find your way into her heart!
This is what you call a basic technique of friendship.
Go, Sumomo!
Ibuki-chan, may I have your e-mail address?
Why? Are you holding a dance party?
Not a dress, your e-mail address.
I don't have a mobile phone!

Exchanging diaries?
Isn't that kind of outdated?
What are you talking about?!
She's a traditional girl without a mobile phone. This kind of thing is perfect!
Go, Sumomo!
Ibuki-chan, would you like to exchange diaries with me?
Exchange diaries?
Just write about your day, or anything, and pass it back to me.
What do you want to know?
I am asking you just what exactly do you want to know about me?
I, Shikimori Ibuki, am not some cheap girl who would sell Shikimori family secrets to outsiders!
It's a misunderstanding!

The final plan?
On the way home, some punks attack Ibuki-chan.
Sumomo-chan comes to the rescue and beats them up.
Ibuki-chan is grateful and touched. Their relationship strengthens.

Are you all right, Sumomo-chan?
Y-Yes, I'll try my best!
She's here!
All right, let's proceed with the plan.
Hey, watch where you're going.
You spilled his ice cream.
Hey, she's pretty cute.
You were the ones not paying attention.
What did you say?
You're an eyesore. Get out of my way.
Girl, you've got some guts.
Wh-What should we do?
We have to go help her.
Wearing this?!
It seems that you scum need to be punished.
Punished, she says!
That's good. I'm into that kind of thing.
Bisaim.
Yes, Ibuki-sama.
Eh?
Take this!
Redaguna!
Foolish people.
Come to think of it, she's a magician.
If we'd followed Hachi's plans, we'd have been...
Hachi!
Ah! Stop it!

What should I do to get closer to Ibuki-chan?
Wait there.
Koyuki-san!
I see. You want to befriend that transfer student, right?
Yes.
She's like a cat.
A cat?
She walks around with her tail held high, but she's lonely deep inside,
and I feel like I mustn't leave her alone.
Does that sound weird?
No.
That's proof that you truly understand her.
Um, my fortune?
You don't need it.
Because of your sincerity, eventually she'll open her heart to you.
Sincerity...
I hope that you'll make more of these croquettes that are filled with sincerity, too.
Thank you very much, Koyuki-san.
I'll give it a shot.
I pray for your success.
May happiness befall Sumomo-san and Ibuki-san.
Morning.
Good morning, Nii-san.
There's one extra.
That's for Ibuki-chan.
There.
I'm leaving now!
Here.
What is this?
Sumomo's croquette lunch special.
If it's okay, would you like to have some together?
I don't want it.
Ibuki-chan, do you hate croquettes?
That's not the problem.
I have no intention of eating with you.
Ibuki-chan...
Here, Sumomo's hamburger lunch special.
I don't want it.
Ibuki-san!
May I speak to you for a moment?
Why do you make her lunch every day?
Ibuki-sama does not accept offerings from others.
That's not my intent!
I just want to be friends with her.
Friends?
Yes. We're classmates.
Chatting, walking home, taking pictures together...
I want to do those things with her.
In that case...
Ibuki-sama likes omelets.
No matter what flavour it is, she's happy as long as it's an omelet.
If you include omelets in your lunch box, she might eat them.
All right!
Ibuki-chan!
I don't want it.
I haven't told you what it is.
Today, it's Sumomo's rolled omelet lunch special!
Ibuki-chan's favourite, right?
Who told you that?!
A friend did.
Would you like to-
I said I don't want it!
Eh?
Poor girl...
This is your fault!
You keep trying to force lunch on me.
I have no intention of playing with you people.
Please don't come near me any more!
What's this unpleasant feeling?
Why do I have to worry about someone who doesn't use magic?
That's because you've been touched by her sincerity, Ibuki-sama.
It was you, wasn't it? You told her my favourite food.
For that I apologize.
Refrain from unnecessary things.
I don't mind if you scold me.
But, please consider her feelings, when she has worked so hard for your sake.
Very well. I'll meet with Kohinata Sumomo once more.
Ibuki-sama!
That was really cruel.
She said she didn't want to play with me and told me to stay away.
She didn't even apologize for dropping the lunch. That's unforgivable!
What a waste. You might as well let me eat it.
But I made this for Ibuki-chan.
Kohinata Sumomo!
I've been looking for you. I didn't expect you to be here.
Ibuki-chan!
Give that to me.
Eh?
Don't ask questions. Just give it to me!
Place it there.
What are you going to do, Shikimori-san?
Don't tell me-
A kedor na cavier le liless franc la raive!
Regeneration magic?
This kind of spell is a trifle for the power of the Shikimori family.
Nee-sama, why don't you use magic?
You could make it in seconds if you use magic.
It tastes better when you make it with sincerity.
Sincerity?
Sincerity is the ultimate spice.
Magic is convenient, but it can't express feelings.
I wouldn't be acknowledging her love if I did that.
Isn't that right, Nee-sama?
It's good!
Ibuki-chan!
I understand the sincerity of your feelings.
I wouldn't mind eating another lunch if you make one again tomorrow.
Isn't that great, Sumomo-chan?
Yes!
What do you want in your lunch?
Croquettes? Omelets?
Hey! Don't grab my arm!
From then on, Shikimori-san and Sumomo-chan ate lunch together every day.
Here's Sumomo's croquette lunch special filled with sincerity!
Ibuki-chan, please eat up!
Stop using "-chan" with my name!
Eh? Why's that?
Just stop it.
Here, ah~
Stop that! I told you I wouldn't forgive you...
NEXT EPISODE
Hi, it's Kamisaka Haruhi.
Sumomo-chan gave me this book on episode previews the other day.
I think I'll try to follow the book this time.
The greatest blockbuster hit across America!
Across America? Is this show going to be on American TV too?
The touching truth that made the whole world cry.
The whole world? Truth?
Ah! In any case, the next episode is "Project Befriend Ibuki."
Project Befriend Ibuki
I want to be friends with everyone in the world.
