Ei-kun!
Who is that girl?
Listen to me, Hime.
Don't tell them we were lovers in our previous life.
It'd be bad if people in the present world learned our secret, right?
Why is your face so close to hers?
Mind telling us what's going on?
C-Calm down, you two.
Who are you?
I'm Eita's...

Girlish Lover
Ex-girlfriend?
#6 A Battlefield Where the Gray World is Cut to Shreds
Y-You dated someone in the past?
And hid it from me?
Eita-kun has an ex.
He didn't tell me about his ex.
His ex hugged him and he stood there grinning.
Eita, who are these two girls?
I'm Ei-kun's childhood friend, Harusaki Chiwa!
I'm Eita-kun's girlfriend, Natsukawa Masuzu.
No...
No... No, no, no... Eita is Hime's.
So Hime's the only one who Eita's allowed to hug!
Akishino Himeka?
You mean the first-year in class 2?
Doesn't her family run Akishino's Bed and Breakfast?
I heard she was sort of shy.
Why is she interested in you?
I dunno.
Why don't you ask her?
What about me does...?
Eita, welcome back!
Huh? Why?
This present-day girl proposed that I connect with her.
Basically, I invited her for tea.
What are you trying to do?
As your current girlfriend,
I figured I should be swapping notes with your ex-girlfriend.
Yeah, but she's...
Burning Prin Princess, right?
When Eita-kun was screaming things in front of the station,
some seal broke which allowed you to regain some of your memories of your past, right?
Yeah.
I was considering inviting Akishino-san to join us.
What?!
I'm totally against that!
Why would that be, Chihuahua-san the Eavesdropper?
Because all this girl cares about is Ei-kun,
and she isn't the least bit interested in being popular!
Doesn't the same go for you?
Hm... Himecchi, have you ever wanted to be popular?
No.
All I care about is Eita.
The desire to be popular is nothing other than an uncultured concept limited to you present-day individuals.
I can't let that fly.
First class warriors will always attract the opposite sex.
You can call yourself Burning Prin Princess specifically because people feel an intense attraction to you, correct?
I admit you may have a point.
This is something my first love left behind:
The diary of the previous Burning Fighting Fighter.
"Previous"?
Does that mean you're the second one?
The flesh is merely a container for the soul.
When Eita-kun wears the mantle of "Burning",
he becomes the first and the second.
You know, a "he is me, and I am him" sort of thing.
That was extremely easy to understand.
It wasn't at all!
He was truly a first class warrior.
I shall show you a piece of it.
"My four guardian Be-my-angels..."
W-Wait-
Why are you stopping me?
I want to hear this!
I want to hear the power words of the previous Burning Fighting Fighter.
"My four guardian Be-my-angels..."
"Today, I shall tell you about the beautiful maidens who surround me."
Man's Man
"Of course, they just look like beautiful girls,
but in reality, they're my trustworthy,
beautiful angels who help me fight the Wyverns."
"My first angel: Ayanami Asuka. Magic type: Light."
"She's a cute classmate of mine."
"She always wants to win and is quite selfish,
and always says things like 'What are you, stupid?' She's-"
Masuzu, what colour is your blood?!
"She's always acting like she hates me, but she couldn't love me more if she wanted to."
Don't read any more!
"CV: Hayashibara Yuuko."
Don't! I'm going to burst!
What's a CV?
It's short for character's voice.
I'm pretty sure he cast his favourite voice actresses.
"The second angel: Tsukino Rei. Magic type: Fire."
Y-You're going to read all of them?!
Of course.
"Tsukino Rei. A shrine maiden, and very beautiful."
"A clean-freak who always says 'I'll punish you!'"
"She hates men, but she couldn't love me more if she wanted to."
"CV: Yotsuishi Michie."
"The third angel: Daigouji Sakura. Magic Type: Water."
"A beautiful girl who is three years younger than me and lives near me."
"She's quite energetic."
"Her thing is saying, 'Funyaaan.'"
"She always flings herself at me saying, 'Onii-chan, I love you!'"
"And of course, she couldn't love me more if she wanted to."
"CV: Iwao Sakura."
"The fourth angel: Oonoji Miko. Magic type: Wind."
"She's two years older than I am, and very beautiful."
"She's pretty sexy."
"Her thing is saying, 'Hold me!'"
"She's always trying to seduce me with these outlandish outfits."
"At any rate, she couldn't love me more if she wanted to."
"CV: Namiguchi Yuuko."
"The fifth angel: Kisaragi Megumi. Magic Type: Darkness."
"She's beautiful, younger than me, and helps out in the library."
"She's quite shy."
"She says, 'Um...' and 'Uh...' a lot."
"She's shy, but opens her heart to me and me alone."
"And of course, she couldn't love me more if she wanted to."
"CV: Koudama Riko."
Wow, all of them couldn't love him more if they wanted to.
He definitely deserves the mantle of "Burning".
But weren't there supposed to be only four angels?
I'm sure there were originally four and then another showed up.
The aura of popularity oozing from him makes that possible.
I see.
That's enough...
Akishino-san, if you want to become a member of this club,
you'll need to give me your vision of the type of maiden you'd like to be in the form of a poem.
That's not enough!
You need to make her do more!
She needs a practical test!
I call it "Operation: Toast Makes You Popular".
What?
"Oh, I'm late! I'm late!"
"Bang. Eek!"
"I'm so sorry!"
"I can't believe how clumsy I am! Teehee."
"You seem fun."
All right, we're doing this!
Ei-kun, you play the person she runs into.
I knew it'd be me.
All right, whatever.
You okay with this?
Yeah.
I'll do my best.
What are you guys doing?!
Hall Monitor
Crap.
The hall monitors?
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Where's the president and Chihuahua?
The hall monitors took them away.
Why do you care so much about me, anyway?
What do you mean by "Why"?
Just because I was your boyfriend in our previous life doesn't...
...mean you have to make me your boyfriend in this one, does it?
Before I came to this school, I had a small hope...
Hope?
...for a new world.
If I entered into this organisation called "high school",
I thought a new world would open up before me.
Although it was small, I embraced that hope.
So what happened?
Nothing changed.
The name of the organisation just changed from "middle school" to "high school".
Grey days, grey people, and grey time.
And I was grey too.
A world where grey snow would fall forever - covering it up.
But you were different.
At point EKME, you alone were shining amidst a grey world.
You fought to protect a girl, and even when you were hurt, you stood back up.
You were so...
...cool.
But I'm not Burning Fighting Fighter.
I outgrew that stuff in middle school.
Outgrew?
I don't understand.
I'm not a dragoon or a son of Valhalla any longer.
I'm a normal human being.
No, even a sword cannot sever our connection from our previous lives.
No, I...
Believe.
You're a warrior more valorous than any other.
You are someone who can slash through this grey world.
If you start believing that,
I think I can be brave like you.
Why are we doing this on our day off?
We have to.
The hall monitors decided on this punishment.
I'm never going to forgive the hall monitors for this.
Empty pools really shouldn't exist.
I don't think pools with water should exist either.
Oh yeah.
You drowned in the pool, didn't you?
Even though it was shallow enough to stand up in.
So, how did you manage to drown?
Tell me.
I'd rather not.
But I can tell you what Eita-kun's lips tasted like instead.
Oh yeah, didn't Himecchi say she'd come and help us?
I told her we didn't need her.
She's not an official club member yet.
But wasn't she about to join?
Don't you think she just wants to be with Eita?
She's been thinking hard about the assignment you gave her.
You mean the poem?
Yeah.
She's really shy, but now she wants to try joining a club.
Wow, that car looks expensive.
Mana...
Hey there, Onii-san!
You again.
So that's Harusaki Chihuahua?
Hm, she's pretty cute.
Why are you here?
This is my school.
That's some greeting.
I came all the way here to apologise.
Apologise?
Yeah.
I tried talking things over with Dad for you.
It didn't work out.
He got really mad, and I couldn't do anything about it.
He wants you to come back home right away or he'll go to your apartment and bring you back himself.
Don't go there!
Then, you'll just have to come back.
We can take care of your flight and luggage right now.
Just get in the car with me.
If you don't, I don't know what'll happen.
Fine.
Who the hell is this girl?
Someone Natsukawa knows?
She's Masuzu's little sister.
L-Little sister?
You serious?
Masuzu, where's your house?
Sweden.
I'm certain that I won't be allowed to come back to Japan.
Are you okay with that?
Eita-kun, I don't like you anymore.
I don't even want to see your face again.
I'll return you to your childhood friend,
so be happy together.
Ei-kun was always mine!
I don't remember giving him to you!
Yes, I guess you're right.
I'll go get ready.
Wait!
Why are you giving up so easily?!
Wait!
Hold on!
My, what a scary face.
Eita.
Hime!
I've completed the assignment on my vision of a maiden.
You're done?
You didn't have to bring it here on our day off.
You could have brought it tomorrow.
But if I join the club today,
then I can do stuff with everyone starting today.
I see.
Um, where's the president...?
Show me too!
Hey, stop it!
I was interested in what type of club Suzu made.
I need to tell Dad about it.
Hime tried her best to write that.
Give it back!
Now I'm even more interested.
"A real princess doesn't hang her head."
Hey!
A real princess?
A maiden is a princess?
"A real princess doesn't get hurt."
"If something bad happens, she can keep smiling."
"She won't cry, no matter how lonely she gets."
This is awful.
You've turned on the waterworks, huh?
Guess you're not a real princess.
"A real princess doesn't get scared."
"She can greet a person she meets for the first time with a smile."
"She can become friends with anyone straight away."
"A real princess is never disheartened."
"She's always overflowing with love."
"She never gives up, no matter what happens."
"She continues to walk forward until the day she meets her prince."
She's even got a prince in here!
That's enough!
That's enough, you bitch!
Don't laugh at people's fantasies!
Everyone has embarrassing fantasies!
I have tons of fantasies myself!
I'm a reincarnated dragon!
I'm surrounded by Be-my-angels who adore me!
I fight invisible enemies!
I know a lot about Western music, and can play the guitar!
Think about how embarrassing that is!
Of course, none of that'll ever happen!
I don't remember anything about my previous life!
Forget angels.
All the girls call me disgusting.
Guitar?
I can't even play a recorder.
None of that will ever happen!
I hate myself!
Yasuoka.
Eita...
But still, I have to keep these fantasies going!
If I have a thousand of them,
one of them might come true one day.
If you stop fantasising,
you have no choice but to be crushed by reality.
Are you crazy?
There's no way your fantasies will come true.
Take a look at yourself; that should be proof enough.
No, I'll make it happen.
Your prince will come!
He'll come!
Apologise to Hime!
You're disgusting.
What's with you?
I'm Natsukawa Masuzu's boyfriend,
Harusaki Chiwa's childhood friend,
and Akishino Himeka's ex-boyfriend.
I'm Burning Fighting Fighter, Kidou Eita!
Remember that!
That's enough, isn't it, Mana?
Eita-kun and Akishino-san haven't done anything wrong.
All I have to do is go back, right?
So you do get it.
You're bleeding.
You should get that treated.
Hey, Masuzu.
Your boyfriend has one last request for you.
I'm not going to be the one to tell you.
Hime will.
Hime, your poem was cute.
But the poems we wrote about our fantasies were just ourselves.
They don't show who we really are.
That's why you should use words to express your desires.
What are you trying to do here?
This is a matter for our club.
Mind your own business, you blonde airhead!
Y-Yasuoka!
No!
No, no, no!
Don't hurt Hime's Eita!
Please leave!
Hime and Eita have finally found our place here.
We're going to have our club with the president and Chihuahua!
So just... So just...
Leave!
Hime...
Well said, Himecchi.
Masuzu, what about you?
What do you want to do?
Are you still planning on giving up?
Prez...
I'm going to stay here.
What?
W-What's with you?!
You just said you'd come home.
I did.
I thought it'd help that cheap pride of yours.
You've got to be kidding.
You're going to ignore your family's order?
You're not scared of Dad?
Ojou-sama, we need to...
You're going to regret this, Suzu!
Apologise to Akishino-san.
Tell her, "I'm sorry".
I-I don't wanna.
Mana, you're not going to listen to your older sister?
Sorry...
That's not loud enough!
I'm sorry!
I shouldn't have done that!
And tell him I'm not going home.
I'm going to continue waiting in that room for Mum, whom he cast away.
You're stupid!
Really stupid!
She's not going to come back after all that!
You're going to get hurt and cry, just like before!
We're not done cleaning the pool yet, are we?
Huh?
Eita?!
Ei-kun?!
You shouldn't have done that...
Do you know what'll happen if you upset the Natsukawa house?
I don't care what's going on in your family.
I just didn't want say goodbye to you like that.
Stupid.
You're awfully impudent for a fake boyfriend.
W-What is it?
It's a Jojo reference.
What part?
What volume?
What are you two doing?!
What's wrong, Hime?
For... you...
