[00:01] Kikyou
    So, how are you doing at school?
[00:05] Usagi
    M-My campus life is,
[00:07] Usagi
    uh, very fulfilling.
[00:11] Usagi
    Also—
[00:11] Kikyou
    That is not what I am asking about.
[00:15] Kikyou
    You might not pass first year with these grades,
[00:18] Kikyou
    let alone graduate.
[00:21] Usagi
    I-I'm sorry, ma'am.
[00:24] Kikyou
    I am going to bring forward
    the plans for your marriage.
[00:28] Kikyou
    This month will be your last at school.
[00:32] Usagi
    H-Hold on, Mother!
[00:34] Usagi
    You promised to wait until I graduated!
[00:37] Kikyou
    Don't touch me.
[00:40] Kikyou
    I am not your mother.
SIGN    Episode 5: "The Witch-Hunting Festival"
[02:21] Reima
    Sorry to call you on such short notice.
[02:25] Reima
    I have good news for you all today.
[02:28] Reima
    We have decided to revive our academy's
    formerly abolished witch-hunting festival.
[02:33] Reima
    Well, this witch-hunting festival is technically
    just an ordinary school festival...
[02:36] Takeru
    Who's that?
[02:37] Ikaruga
    A student who transferred
    here last month, apparently.
[02:41] Mari
    He reeks of street smarts.
[02:43] Reima
    What's more, we're adding a
     new rule to this year's festival.
[02:50] Reima
    It involves...
[02:51] Reima
    This.
[02:53] Reima
    This is the special currency
     we will use at the festival.
[02:57] Reima
    This currency can be exchanged for credit points.
[03:02] Reima
    Naturally...
[03:03] Reima
    It can also be exchanged for cash.
[03:07] Reima
    What do you think?
    Isn't it a fantastic event?
[03:07] Ikaruga
    Materialistic and proud of it, eh?
[03:10] Mari
    But don't you guys desperately need points?
[03:13] Mari
    Isn't this your big chance?
[03:14] Ouka
    I'm against it.
[03:16] Ouka
    Instead of participating in fun and games,
    we should focus on actual platoon missions.
[03:20] Ouka
    Don't you agree, Kusanagi—
[03:30] Takeru
    User of the Kusanagi double-edged art,
    Kusanagi Takeru.
[03:32] Takeru
    For personal reasons,
[03:35] Takeru
    I'm having us enter this festival!
[03:37] Mari
    Why is he so motivated?
[03:39] Ouka
    Well, his credits are riding on it.
[03:42] Ikaruga
    That's not all.
[03:44] Ikaruga
    He got baited by the money.
[03:45] Ikaruga
    Cold, hard cash.
[03:48] Both
    Money?
[03:49] Takeru
    We need to draw up a plan of attack,
    draft a list of necessary materials...
[03:53] Takeru
    Oh, we also need to secure an
     empty classroom as soon as possible.
[03:56] Ikaruga
    His parents left him deep in debt.
[03:59] Ikaruga
    He probably intends to use his share of the
     earnings from this festival to clear some of it.
[04:04] Ikaruga
    And he has a little sister.
    He's dealing with a lot.
[04:08] Ouka
    I see.
[04:10] Takeru
    Let's do this.
[04:12] Takeru
    Let's conquer the world!
[04:15] Mari
    Yikes. Takeru's trying to
     act like a real captain.
[04:18] Takeru
    Listen up, punks.
[04:19] Takeru
    This witch-hunting festival
     ain't child's play.
SIGN    Freshmen 35th Test Platoon
[04:22] Takeru
    Better take it seriously.
[04:24] Takeru
    We're doing this...
[04:25] Takeru
    I'll do whatever it takes to win!
[04:28] (Flashback) Kikyou
    I am going to bring forward
    the plans for your marriage.
[04:31] (Flashback) Kikyou
    This month will be your last at school.
[04:35] Usagi
    They don't need me, anyway.
[04:37] Takeru
    Hey, isn't Usagi late?
[04:40] Ikaruga
    Eye exams tend to be drag on sometimes.
[04:42] Mari
    Was her left eye hurt that badly?
[04:45] Ouka
    It's for the best that she gets it fixed.
[04:48] Ouka
    Saionji's eyes are our eyes, after all.
[04:51] Usagi
    How can you say something
    so nice now, of all times?
[04:56] Mari
    Speaking of whom, I know she doesn't like being called by her name because it means "bunny,"
[05:01] Mari
    but then why does she wear that headband?
[05:03] Takeru
    Headband?
[05:04] Ouka
    Good point.
[05:06] Ouka
    That headband looks like
     bunny ears to me, too.
[05:10] Ikaruga
    Oh, ye of little understanding.
[05:12] Ikaruga
    She actually loves being called Usagi-chan.
[05:16] Mari
    Really?
[05:17] Mari
    Okay, in that case, I won't hold back.
[05:19] Mari
    From now on, I'll call her Usa-chan.
[05:21] Usagi
    That is the one name
    I'll never let you call me!
[05:26] Mari
    Welcome back, Usa-chan.
[05:28] Usagi
    I just told you not to call me that!
[05:30] Usagi
    Good grief!
[05:32] Usagi
    This headband is a memento
     of my grandmother.
[05:34] Usagi
    Could you please not make fun of it?
[05:36] Ikaruga
    But we're not.
[05:39] Ikaruga
    Right, Kusanagi?
[05:40] Takeru
    U-Uh, yeah. I think it's cute.
[05:44] Usagi
    C-Cu-Cu...
[05:46] Usagi
    Wh-Where did that come from?
[05:50] Takeru
    Wh-What is it?
[05:52] Both
    Nothing.
[05:53] Takeru
    Come on! Spit it out!
[05:55] Ikaruga
    Gee, thanks for the tired romcom routine.
[05:57] Takeru
    That was just my honest opinion.
    No deeper meaning to it.
[06:03] Usgai
    That doesn't matter!
[06:05] Usagi
    Anyway, weren't you discussing
     the witch-hunting festival?
[06:08] Takeru
    Oh, right.
[06:10] Usagi
    Good grief,
[06:11] Usagi
    why is it that when I'm not around,
    you always do this?
[06:15] Ishida
    Excuse me. May I come in?
[06:20] Ishida
    Nice to meet you.
[06:21] Ishida
    I am Ishida, captain of the 23rd Test Platoon.
[06:24] Ishida
    Allow me to get right to the point.
[06:26] Ishida
    Would you like to form an alliance
     with us in the witch-hunting festival?
[06:30] Platoon
    An alliance?
[06:31] Ishida
    Our platoon is small in numbers,
[06:34] Ishida
    just like yours.
[06:36] Ishida
    I thought maybe we little guys
    could help each other out.
[06:40] Takeru
    I see.
[06:42] Takeru
    It might be nice to have backup
    when we're in trouble.
[06:51] Usagi
    Why'd they have to ally
     with another platoon?
[06:54] Usagi
    I wanted to enjoy my last hurrah
     with my teammates.
[06:58] Usagi
    Oh! P-Pardon me!
[07:01] Usagi
    My mind was wandering...
[07:06] Reima
    Hi.
[07:07] Usagi
    Reima-sama...
[07:11] Reima
    Don't be so formal.
[07:13] Reima
    How've you been?
[07:15] Reima
    Is it just me, or did you get taller?
[07:18] Reima
    What's wrong?
[07:19] Usagi
    N-Nothing.
[07:21] Reima
    When I heard you joined
    this school, I was worried.
[07:28] Reima
    Don't worry.
[07:29] Reima
    You don't need to be in
     a place like this anymore.
[07:33] Reima
    Usagi, you don't need to
     push yourself anymore.
[07:41] Reima
    From now on, you'll be with me forever.
[07:45] Takeru
    I don't get Suginami.
[07:46] Takeru
    What did she buy all of this for?
[07:51] Takeru
    Usagi?
[07:52] Takeru
    Hey, what's wrong?
[07:53] Takeru
    Usagi!
[07:55] Reima
    Are you Usagi's captain?
[07:59] Takeru
    I know you... You're that
    executive committee chairman.
[08:03] Reima
    I see you've been taking good care of her.
[08:06] Reima
    I am Tenmyoji Reima.
[08:08] Reima
    Usagi's childhood friend, I guess.
[08:10] Reima
    Nice to meet you.
[08:12] Takeru
    Likewise.
[08:14] Reima
    It won't be for much longer,
    but take care of Usagi.
[08:19] Reima
    She's a very important belonging of mine.
[08:26] Takeru
    Usagi?
[08:30] Takeru
    What's wrong?
[08:31] Takeru
    Calm down, Usagi. Look at me.
[08:35] Usagi
    I'm... sorry...
[08:37] Takeru
    Don't worry. I'm here for you.
[08:40] Usagi
    Help... me...
[08:43] Takeru
    I will help you. You're not alone.
[08:45] Takeru
    I'm right here by your side.
[08:53] Reima
    I can't wait, Usagi.
[08:58] Shizuka
    Ohtori Ouka-san, right?
[09:00] Shizuka
    I am Sendo Shizuka,
    the student council secretary.
[09:05] Shizuka
    Follow me. The president wants to see you.
SIGN    Reference Room 3
[09:16] Ouka
    A sliding bookcase?
[09:17] Shizuka
    Classic, right?
    The president loves this sort of thing.
[09:23] Nagaru
    Howdy, Ouka-chan.
[09:25] Nagaru
    Long time no see.
[09:27] Ouka
    Glad to see you haven't changed,
[09:29] Ouka
    President Hoshijiro Nagaru.
[09:31] Nagaru
    Thanks for bringing her here, Shizuka-chan.
[09:34] Nagaru
    Have an orange.
[09:36] Shizuka
    Thank you.
[09:37] Nagaru
    I'm sorry I keep asking you
     to sneak around for me.
[09:40] Shizuka
    I don't mind. I wish to be a spy, anyway.
[09:44] Nagaru
    Come join us, Ouka-chan.
[09:46] Ouka
    No, thanks. Just cut to the chase.
[09:49] Nagaru
    You're no fun. Well, whatever.
[09:52] Nagaru
    Won't you help us out with something?
[09:55] Ouka
    Help you?
[09:56] Nagaru
    Yes.
[09:57] Nagaru
    Ouka-chan, do you know of
    a witch named Mephistopheles?
[10:02] Ouka
    Mephistopheles?
[10:04] Ouka
    Well, I have heard that name before.
[10:06] Nagaru
    I'm not surprised, considering
     she's an urban legend of sorts.
[10:09] Nagaru
    The witch that devours human minds.
[10:15] Nagaru
    What would you do if
    she really existed, Ouka-chan?
[10:19] Ouka
    With all due respect, you're stupid
    for believing that fairy tale.
[10:21] Nagaru
    Oh, how I wish it were just a fairy tale.
[10:25] Nagaru
    She assaulted my subordinates.
[10:28] Nagaru
    One was possessed and went berserk,
[10:31] Nagaru
    killing everyone except me and Shizuka-chan.
[10:38] Ikaruga
    Always the troublemaker, isn't she?
[10:41] Mari
    Did something happen?
[10:43] Ikaruga
    She always puts up a brave front
     so she won't cause us any trouble.
[10:48] Ikaruga
    But not only is Usagi the most stubborn
    person I know, she's also the weakest.
[10:52] Mari
    And what is Ohtori Ouka doing
     at a time like this?!
[10:57] Ikaruga
    Look who's talking. Isn't it time
     for you to go to work?
[11:01] Mari
    Ack. The anti-magic experiments...
[11:02] Mari
    B-But this is no time to
     be taking part in those.
[11:05] Ikaruga
    If you ditch those experiments,
     they'll throw you out of school.
[11:09] Ikaruga
    You should let Kusanagi handle this.
[11:12] Takeru
    Actually, I need to go to work.
[11:17] Ikaruga
    My!
[11:18] Ikaruga
    Somebody loves you.
[11:22] Takeru
    I'll stay with her until she wakes up.
[11:24] Mari
    You'd better not do any nasty things
    to Usagi while she's asleep.
[11:27] Takeru
    I would never!
[11:29] Ikaruga
    We'll leave her in your care, then.
[11:32] Mari
    If you do anything lewd, I'll castrate you.
[11:44] Takeru
    Are you awake?
[11:46] Usagi
    Why...
[11:49] Usagi
    am I...
[11:50] Takeru
    You fainted in the hallway.
[11:52] Takeru
    Don't you remember?
[11:56] Usagi
    Did you stay with me the whole time?
[12:01] Takeru
    I promised to be there for you.
[12:03] Usagi
    I'm sorry I made you stay back so late.
[12:06] Takeru
    Don't worry.
[12:07] Takeru
    Come on. I'll take you home.
[12:10] Usagi
    O-Okay.
[12:17] Takeru
    What's wrong?
[12:18] Usagi
    C-Could it be that while I was asleep,
[12:20] Usagi
    I held your hand the entire time?
[12:23] Takeru
    What's the big deal with holding hands?
[12:25] Usagi
    B-But...
[12:27] Takeru
    Come on.
[12:29] Takeru
    Let's go.
[12:36] Ouka
    I see.
[12:37] Ouka
    So that's why you want my help.
[12:40] Ouka
    What exactly do you want me to do?
[12:43] Nagaru
    Say, Ouka-chan...
[12:44] Nagaru
    What do you make of Tenmyoji Reima?
[12:47] Ouka
    Tenmyoji?
[12:49] Ouka
    The executive committee chairman?
[12:51] Nagaru
    Yeah, him.
[12:52] Ouka
    What about him?
[12:55] Nagaru
    Isn't he impressive?
[12:57] Nagaru
    It's only been a month since he transferred in,
[13:00] Nagaru
    and yet he's already planning school festivals
    as the chairman of the executive committee.
[13:04] Ouka
    Well, yes...
[13:06] Nagaru
    And what's more,
[13:07] Nagaru
    it's also been a month since we were attacked.
[13:12] Nagaru
    See? Doesn't that seem a bit strange?
[13:18] Takeru
    Tenmyoji, was it?
[13:21] Takeru
    Your old friend?
[13:23] Takeru
    Did something happen between you guys?
[13:27] Takeru
    Sorry. Forget I asked.
[13:30] Takeru
    I shouldn't be butting into your business.
[13:32] Usagi
    It's not worth talking about.
[13:35] Takeru
    What's wrong?
[13:37] Takeu
    You're not acting like yourself.
[13:42] Takeru
    No matter how serious your problem,
[13:44] Takeru
    if you ask for my help,
    I'll do everything in my power to help you.
[13:49] Takeru
    There's bound to be one or
     two things I can do for you.
[13:54] Usagi
    Okay...
[13:55] Usagi
    Okay, then!
    Can you marry me, Kusanagi?
[14:01] Usagi
    You can't, right?
[14:03] Usagi
    That is the problem I am facing!
[14:07] Usagi
    Reima-sama is my fiancé.
[14:11] Takeru
    Huh?
[14:11] Usagi
    I am the Saionji family's sole heir.
[14:16] Usagi
    If I marry into a distinguished
    family like the Tenmyojis,
[14:19] Usagi
    the Saionjis' future will be secured.
[14:22] Usagi
    It cannot be avoided.
[14:24] Usagi
    This is what I get for being good-for-nothing.
[14:28] Takeru
    Usagi...
[14:34] Usagi
    This will be my last month
    attending this school.
[14:38] Takeru
    Usagi!
[14:41] Takeru
    Hey!
[14:43] Takeru
    Stay over at my place tonight!
[15:07] Usagi
    My first time...
[15:09] Usagi
    M-My goodness!
     What am I thinking about?!
[15:11] Usagi
    H-How shameless of me!
[15:13] Usagi
    B-But staying the night means...
[15:17] Usagi
    No, no, no!
[15:19] Usagi
    Th-That sort of activity
    is reserved for after marriage.
[15:24] Usagi
    But there is what they call a "fait accompli"...
[15:28] Usagi
    If I produce offspring in advance,
[15:30] Usagi
    then I won't have to marry Reima-sama.
[15:33] Usagi
    It's surprisingly logical,
[15:36] Usagi
    and I'll get to be with Kusanagi forever...
[15:44] Usagi
    No, no, no, no!
[15:46] Usagi
    Wouldn't I be stealing him from the others?
[15:48] Usagi
    And fait accompli?
[15:50] Usagi
    We're talking about having children here!
[15:52] Usagi
    I don't particularly want
    a child with Kusanagi...
[16:03] Usagi
    Whatever will be, will be!
[16:08] Usagi
    I wonder if Kusanagi will be pleased.
[16:15] Takeru
    Okay.
[16:16] Takeru
    Oh, you're out.
[16:18] Takeru
    Sorry my bath is so sma—
[16:21] Takeru
    Wh-Why are you naked?!
[16:25] Usagi
    You didn't provide me with
    a change of clothes.
[16:28] Takeru
    Right! S-Sorry!
[16:30] Takeru
    You can use one of my shirts if you...
[16:32] Usagi
    No, thank you.
[16:33] Takeru
    Huh?
[16:34] Usagi
    After all...
[16:38] Usagi
    I'm going to end up naked, anyway.
[16:39] Takeru
    Why?!
[16:41] Usagi
    Kusanagi...
[16:55] Usagi
    This is my first time.
[16:59] Usagi
    I'm not sure what to do.
[17:00] Takeru
    W-Wait!
[17:03] Usagi
    Please stop making me embarrass myself.
[17:14] Mari
    Takeru!
[17:16] Mari
    Your apartment's intercom system is broken.
[17:20] Ouka
    Hey! Ever heard of knocking?
[17:23] Ouka
    A hedge between keeps friendship green...
[17:27] Ikaruga
    First, let's look for his dirty magazines...
[17:39] Takeru
    Uh... Well...
[17:42] Mari
    You already have me...
[17:44] Ouka
    I never thought you'd stoop this low...
[17:47] Ikaruga
    Why didn't you invite me...
[17:50] All
    You traitor!
[17:56] Ikaruga
    Now I see.
[17:58] Ikaruga
    So, who is he?
[18:00] Takeru
    Tenmyoji Reima. Usagi's childhood friend.
[18:04] Mari
    Tenmyoji? You mean the
     executive committee chairman?
[18:08] Ikaruga
    I don't see the problem. He's rich.
[18:13] Ikaruga
    If you don't like him,
    marry Kusanagi instead.
[18:16] Both
    Why are you going there?!
[18:18] Usagi
    Excuse me...
[18:20] Usagi
    Why is everyone here?
[18:23] Takeru
    I invited them.
[18:24] Takeru
    I thought we'd hold a strategy meeting.
[18:28] Takeru
    Comrades, I hereby call the Saionji Usagi
    rescue mission meeting to order!
[18:32] Usagi
    For me?
[18:34] Takeru
    All we need to do is improve your grades to a level
     the Saionjis would deem acceptable, right?
[18:38] Usagi
    Easier said than done.
[18:41] Takeru
    We'll rack up points in
     the witch-hunting festival
[18:44] Takeru
    and raise her grades.
[18:45] Takeru
    This will convince Usagi's
    parents to let her stay here.
[18:48] Usagi
    Huh? But you can't!
[18:50] Usagi
    I can't make you go so far for me.
[18:53] Usagi
    I have nothing to give in return.
[18:56] Ikaruga
    What are you saying?
[18:58] Ikaruga
    Your problems are our problems.
[19:03] Mari
    I'd miss you if you left, Usagi-chan.
[19:07] Mari
    I'll help.
[19:09] Ouka
    Though I object to
     taking part in the festival,
[19:11] Ouka
    I would hate to lose you from our platoon.
[19:17] Takeru
    I take back what I said about doing
     everything in my power to help you.
[19:21] Takeru
    We will do everything in our power to help.
[19:25] Usagi
    Kusanagi...
[19:27] Takeru
    You're not alone.
[19:29] Takeru
    We've got your back.
[19:31] Mari
    Hey! You made Usagi-chan cry again!
[19:34] Takeru
    S-Sorry.
[19:36] Usagi
    All I do is drag everyone down
[19:38] Usagi
    and make you all help me.
[19:40] Takeru
    Silly.
[19:42] Takeru
    Do you have any idea how many
    times you've saved our lives?
[19:46] Takeru
    With the einherjar.
[19:49] Takeru
    And at the tournament.
[19:52] Takeru
    If you hadn't been there,
    we'd all be dead right now.
[19:56] Takeru
    And moving forward,
    we'll continue to need you.
[19:58] Takeru
    That's why we're all here.
[20:01] Takeru
    Please, at least understand that, Usagi.
[20:05] Ikaruga
    Okay, let's crank out a plan of attack.
[20:08] ---
    Yeah!
[20:12] Ikaruga
    Here's my plan for certain victory:
[20:17] Ikaruga
    a cosplay party!
[20:21] Ikaruga
    A Chinese dress with beautiful slits!
[20:24] Ouka
    S-Suginami! Don't open the curtain
    without warning me!
[20:28] Ikaruga
    A school swimsuit that showcases
    the depravity of flat chests!
[20:32] Mari
    I'm not showcasing anything of the sort!
[20:35] Ikaruga
    Every boy's dream: a little sister
     wearing nothing but a dress shirt!
[20:39] Lapis
    Can I sleep with you tonight, Onii-chan?
[20:44] Ikaruga
    But that's not all, folks.
[20:47] Ikaruga
    The next entry is my best creation!
[20:51] Usagi
    This is actually covering everything...
[20:55] Usagi
    Right?
[20:58] Usagi
    Now I can never get married!
[21:00] Ishida
    This is too perfect, Suginami-kun.
[21:02] Ishida
    Nay, Captain Suginami!
[21:05] Takeru
    Uh, I'm the captain.
[21:08] Ikaruga
    You look great in that.
[21:10] Takeru
    How'd I get dragged into this?
[21:12] Mari
    Hey, can I change now?
[21:15] Ishida
    Oh, wait!
[21:16] Ishida
    How about taking a keepsake picture?
[21:20] Mari
    Huh? But it'd be so embarrassing.
[21:22] Ikaruga
    Oh, it's okay. Come on.
[21:24] Takeru
    Usagi?
[21:28] Mari
    Come on! Hurry over here, Usagi-chan!
[21:31] Ouka
    Saionji, stop stalling.
[21:33] Ouka
    Get over here and cover my legs!
[21:36] Ikaruga
    Come here already, Usagi. You're our star.
[21:39] Takeru
    Hurry. That's an order.
[21:42] Usagi
    Y-You don't need to order me!
[21:45] Usagi
    Please don't rush me so!
[21:47] Mari
    Come on, come on. Next to me.
[21:49] Ishida
    Okay, everyone ready?
[21:51] Takeru
    Hey, Suginami!
[23:29] Reima
    I guess it's about time to change bodies, huh?
