I'm so glad I get to sit next to you, Licht!
Why do you pronounce my name that way?
Because that's what it is!
Um, okay?
I'm so glad we're all together!
No!
--Huh?
--Don't imitate me! --Huh?
--Don't imitate me!
Same to you!
Hmph!
Um... I wonder who our teacher is?
I prefer Captain Alan. I feel that, if we follow him, I can get stronger...
Hey, do not imitate me!
Same to you!
I'm concerned about the slit in Second Lieutenant Firenda's skirt!
It cuts so deep that, if one were to look slightly from the side, her p-p-panties...
Oh... But wait!
If her skin is visible at that position, could it be...
...she might not be wearing any panties?!
But, Hina, are you sure you're okay with this?
Okay with what?
This is a military school. So that means you're going to become a soldier, too.
--Oh!
--Really?! --Oh!
Why are you surprised?
I like it!
Because the uniform here has...
...long skirts!
Long skirts! Plus five centimeters!
Long skirts! Yahoo!
Shorten your skirt.
Why?!
That happy look on your face is annoying.
Minus six centimeters.
Go ahead, look up my skirt, why don't you...
Yahoo!
Yahoo...
Anyway,
I am going to be your teacher...
...was the plan until a last minute change was made.
Hello.
The head of the school himself...?
What does that mean?
Don't get anyone killed.
Class A...
So Althing was not created in Alcia...?
There's no reason to believe the captain is lying, and it all lines up.
The Count, the process of sending someone to the Abyss...
They can't be spies-- they stand out way too much.
Count? Abyss? What were they talking about?
And "Alcia"...
Is it just a coincidence...?
Before we begin class, let me explain to you the rules of this school.
You each will receive two of these.
A star...?
Any student who collects ten stars will officially join the military.
They and their families will receive a large salary and supply of food.
--Yes!
--Awesome! --Yes!
--Awesome!
But if the number of stars owned reaches zero,
that student is determined to be unfit for duty and is expelled.
You mean kicked out?
Seriously?
That's cold.
Um, how do you get more stars?
Yes, good question.
Those who perform well in various activities will receive stars.
If you wish to get more stars quickly...
...take them from others.
Take the stars...?
Yes. You may employ any means necessary,
but let's just set some ground rules for using violence to take stars by force.
Both parties must first declare that they will bet stars
and confirm there is agreement.
The winner can only take the number of stars wagered. Understood?
Is this a...?
Star Stake.
This is where it started...?
No stars for you, Rihito.
Huh?
It's a special course, just for you.
If you really desire to stay enrolled, you must take a star from another student.
Wow, he's done.
Wh-What?! Why just Licht?!
You have three days.
"Lynn May" "Hina" "Mizuka Sonohara"
Ugh! I can't believe this!
Is this revenge? For that hostage-taking stunt at the entrance ceremony?
It's just being mean!
Maybe you're right, but...
It's unforgiveable!
Um...
Knowing Rihito- senpai , I'm sure he can do something about this...
But the way Licht is taking this...
I don't mind getting expelled.
Why not?!
I'm just here to get this guy out of here.
So my grandmother sent you...
I can't say no to her, I owe her so much for taking me in.
Come on, Tokikaze. Let's go home together.
No.
This is what grandma said--
"I didn't raise a grandson to turn him into a soldier... A killer".
--I'm not going to be a killer--
--You underestimate. --I'm not going to be a killer--
That is what a soldier is.
--I don't think you're cut out for this either--
--I... --I don't think you're cut out for this either--
I have to become a soldier!
I wonder why he "has to" become a soldier?
But if Tokikaze is staying, I guess Pudding won't quit that easily either?
I know, right?! So there's no way we can let him get kicked out like this!
I would like to have Rihito- senpai stay, too...
That's the only reason why I'm here...
If he's leaving, then I will, too...
S-Sorry!
We can do this! We can protect Licht!
Why did you do this?
I wanted to see how he would handle this-- the boy who pointed this at me.
You're mean.
It's just a test--
to see if he has the determination to live up to our expectations.
"Women's Bath"
Who's there?!
Dammit, he got away.
It's the second day in a row!
"A star for Rihito" It's the second day in a row!
"A star for Rihito" Not just once, but twice...
"A star for Rihito" "Absolutely Oppose" Not just once, but twice...
We can't let this go on!
Peeping is the worst!
We'll get him for sure!
Don't worry, I've solved countless cases at Homhough...
Not like there were enough to count.
Hey, you two need to join this discussion.
Um... We'd rather concentrate on helping Licht...
What are you talking about?! You're being peeped at, too!
You're a victim, too, just like us!
But...
Oh, it's day three already.
If we don't do anything, Licht will be...
I'm sorry, but we're not...
Guys! This is bad!
Who did this...?
They're gone! My stars!
Mine, too!
What?!
I put it away and locked it up, so that they wouldn't get stolen...
It must be you, Rihito!
What?
--You're the only one with no stars! So you must have--
--Please wait! --You're the only one with no stars! So you must have--
He might be a borderline criminal pervert who looks up skirts and touches thighs,
but he would never steal something so precious!
That's really not a defense...
Then who would...?
Sonohara!
Doan! It's you again...
I'm a what now?
Please... give me back my stars...
Huh?
Doan, those stars...
...did you take them from Sonohara?!
Nope.
Sonohara, you gave them to me, isn't that right?
I was never violent to you, was I?
N-No...
There you have it.
Enough!
You're the one that stole my stars too, aren't you?!
You have the brute force to pry open those doors!
You got proof?
Did you write your names on your stars or something? No, right?
B-But...
I said enough, Doan!
What, Tokikaze?
Oh, good timing. I'll take your stars, too.
What?
You already have ten!
Here, hand them over.
Why would I do that to...?
That's the price of your old hag's life.
Well?
H-Hey!
I have no choice...
Huh?
My grandmother borrows her dojo from Doan's parents.
If they kicked her out, she would have nowhere to go.
That's right.
You scoundrel!
What, you want to get punched again?!
This time I'm serious--
Stop!
This is my issue. Don't interfere.
Heh, weaklings.
Oh, no... Not only is Licht in trouble, now Mizuka and Tokikaze, too...?
I've had enough! I'll challenge him to a Star Stake myself and--
That won't work.
He already has ten stars. He won't accept.
But if we don't get his stars...
Oh, this...
Right! We can all share one star each!
Th-Thank you!
Me, too, please!
Me, too!
Licht, please...
I don't need it.
B-But...
Give it to someone who wants it.
Why would anyone want to become a soldier so badly?
It's obvious!
Hey, I need one, too!
N-No way! If I only had one left, what if something happened...
Stars! Who has extra stars?!
Here, take it.
Oh, yeah.
Tokikaze.
--Here.
--Yes, thanks. --Here.
--Yes, thanks.
Please! Someone, share one with me, too!
Give it to him.
Huh?
It's fine.
Thanks! You're a life saver!
So what are you going to do, Tokikaze?
There aren't any more activities today where you can earn stars.
How are you going to get a star?
I...
Why don't you just take it from someone?
I can't possibly...
That's what being a soldier is about, isn't it?
I thought you "had to" become a soldier no matter what.
Pele!
Pele is right.
Besides, he is the one that told us to not interfere.
Leave him alone.
Come on, First Lieutenant!
It's all right.
I also didn't want you to become a soldier... A killer.
Grandma is losing weight.
She keeps saying she has plenty to eat, but I know she's lying.
She must have taken from her own food to give to us... for so long...
You must know, too, Rihito.
The food rations are getting smaller. There's simply not enough.
No matter how much I beg her to eat, she won't listen.
We can't go on like this... so...!
...that's why I have to become a soldier! I'll get lots of food,
and I want grandma to have...
...a full stomach...
It's now six PM. Any student who has gathered ten stars, please assemble by the main gate.
I'm the only one, obviously.
Please, Doan! Give your stars back to Tokikaze...
Out of my way, cockroach!
Licht!
Are you okay?!
You piece of trash...
Cockroaches should grovel on the ground where they belong.
Licht, I'm so angry at myself.
That person, behaving like that, taking everyone's stars,
ruining Tokikaze's wishes...
And here I am...
All I can do is watch...
Don't be so sure.
Heh, too easy. Hmm?
That's...!
What do you want?
Go and graduate already.
Huh?
I find you irritating.
The moment you step outside this gate, I will pummel you!
What?! Oops.
I won't fall for that. I won't bet my--
I have no intention of entering a wager.
Huh?
I do not have any stars to bet anyway. My stars...
...are in the hands of a certain do-gooder.
That guy...
So he tells us to leave him alone, but he does this?
Now go graduate. I will be expelled.
I do not intend on entering these gates ever again.
But you should be ready. Do not think you can enter the military in one piece.
You...
Do it, First Lieutenant!
Teach him a lesson!
You weak little cockroach... Did you forget how I knocked you out before?
This time I am serious. So you should be serious, too.
You cowardly low-life!
Fine! I'll beat you to a pulp!
One moment.
If you're going to exit these gates, please let me count your stars first.
Huh?! Are you blind? I've got 12 right here!
Right where?
They're right--
What...?
Okay, who lost stars to him?
That cockroach!
You may not graduate. Return to your classroom.
Oh, and you, Jail Murdoch.
I believe these belong to you.
I was planning on giving these to Rihito, but it seems he no longer needs them.
These stars...
...belong to you.
--Yes! --Nice!
--Wow. --He did it!
He got what he deserves!
Not bad, Jail!
Now we're all back!
Tokikaze...
...I've decided to stay here with you.
But I want you to not graduate.
Not... graduate?
Yeah, don't graduate.
As long as we stay in this school, we will get plenty to eat.
In other words, the food we were going to get would go to our family.
That should be enough to sustain them for now.
Meanwhile, we can think about whether or not we want to be soldiers.
We should have plenty of time...
...as long as we're here.
"Episode 13 - Full Stomach"
There's someone I can't get out of my head right now...
--What?!
--Is that weird for me to say? --What?!
--Is that weird for me to say?
N-No! Who is it?
Just an ordinary guy, who wears a pudding costume and likes to look up skirts.
That's totally not ordinary.
