STEEL ANGEL KURUMI

ZERO

Regarding the weather from yesterday, areas affected are continuing to increase.

We forecast it will continue throughout the morning, until midnight.

Acid concentration is level C. It seems it will rise to a high of 8%.

Everyone in the City is advised to stay indoors.

The official data states the City's extreme environment will be at its worst next week.

In other environmental news—

This is the worst.

I waited a month for a day out, too.

I wonder why it has to rain.

Didn't you break the rules and go out the day before yesterday?

That's why you may be receiving punishment.

There's no way I could change the weather with my power alone!

Jeez, clear up already!

Let me go outside!

If you want to go out so badly, go right ahead.

As long as you're fine with your hair melting away from acid rain this strong.

I know at least that much.

So one can only be patient, you know?

I know that, too.

But hey, why do you two so look so unconcerned?

If days like this keep up, it'll be another month of house arrest!

I have an experiment report to do, so...

If it wasn't a rainy day, I wouldn't be able to take my time reading.

Are you really teenage girls!?

Oh, come to think of it, where's that girl?

She went to her club activities.

"I feel like being active once in a while."

She's at "club activities."

That's why it's raining.

There's no way a single person can change the weather by their power alone—

I'm home!

Welcome home, Kurumi!

What? You're creeping me out.

Did something good happen?

Um...

Eh!?

You found someone you like?

Yeah.

Who from where?

Could it be someone you met at club today?

Yeah.

Um... At gym today, the Archery Club was practicing in a different area.

Among them, this person was there...

Ever since I saw him, I'd been thinking "He's pretty nice..."

So then, you know, somehow...

During break, he came over to talk to me.

I was really surprised, though!

Um... So while I was talking about clubs and studies with that person...

Somehow... I started feeling happy.

It seems I was totally absorbed, until the captain got mad and said "Stop slacking off!"

So then...

You're telling us everything.

Doesn't that mean he's just a regular flirt?

You're wrong, he's a kind person!

He was coaching me too.

He didn't go touching weird places during this "coaching"?

Um...

How old is he?

What's his name?

Uh...

I dunno.

Well that's no good!

It's fine I just search for students within the City, enrolled in the Archery Club,

who are male and have the characteristics Kurumi mentioned, right?

You can do that?

This terminal is connected to the City host, so...

Isn't something like that illegal?

Don't say uptight things!

It worries me too.

Even Saki is interested, right?

Here it is. Enlarging it by five...

This person...

...is it?

Yes, it's this person.

Even if you say that, though...

Somehow he's kind of a disappointment.

That isn't the case! He's cool!

I wonder if that's so...

Excelia, um... What's his name?

"Kagura Michihito."

Michihito-san...

Michihito-san...

Say, is there any other information on this person?

It only shows the name and registration number.

Number E3245—

Sorry, it's dangerous to access any more, so...

Ah, I see...

What's this? Like I thought, it does have you interested?

Karinka!

Even though you were trying to seem so wise...

Well, it does have me interested, a little...

Just like I thought!

So, shall we have tea?

Tea, huh?

I'll have some, I guess.

Here you are, Kurumi.

Eh? It feels like she's too preoccupied for tea, or even a meal.

I think it's best to stop though, you know.

Excelia.

"It's best to stop"?

Kurumi, what part of this Kagura guy is nice?

His kind parts.

You understand that just from being together in a club?

His smile is wonderful, too!

From that alone, you've started liking him?

I wonder...

Even so... Even so, I just like him!

Okay! At this point, that conversation is over.

Here you are, Excelia.

Kurumi found someone she likes,

so can't we all offer our support?

Right?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

And Kurumi, you're not mad, are you?

No.

I'm sorry for raising my voice.

Okay!

So, everyone, it's chamomile tea today.

Have it while it's hot, okay?

Saki-chan...

Hmm?

Excelia... I wonder why she said that sort of thing.

Seeing you so overjoyed, Kurumi,

"You should calm down and think it over."

...is something I think she would say.

Excelia is that kind of girl, don't you think?

That's true.

Hey, Saki-chan,

do you know about fortunes, from stars?

Let's see... Astrology, right?

They say it died out in the twenty-first century.

I wonder why it's not around anymore...

It's not scientific, so I wonder if too many fortunes were wrong...

But if it was still around, I'd like to try getting my fortune told.

Because if I did, I might be able to know that person's—

Kagura Michihito-san's feelings.

Do you not have confidence?

I mean, it's just how Excelia put it.

I've only met him for the first time today,

so to do something like suddenly start liking him...

Even though I don't know anything about that person.

Even though I don't even have a clue what he thinks of me.

This is just what I think, but...

People long ago turned to astrology, not because it was correct or incorrect,

but instead because they wanted a little push, don't you think?

A push?

Yeah.

For example, you want the person you like to feel the same way, right?

But, if they don't, what will you do?

I think that such a concern would overwhelm you.

There are also people who get crushed by the anxiety, and become unable to move, aren't there?

So you're not wrong to borrow supernatural strength.

The stars say, "Go on, give it a try!"

I wonder if that's so.

Say, you have your club tomorrow too, don't you?

Yeah. But there's no guarantee he's coming to gym.

It's not like it's decided you'll never see him again.

I believe in it.

That things will clear up ahead.

Fortunes may not be around anymore, but...

I will give you a push!

Hang in there.

I believe your love will turn out all right, Kurumi.

In this day and age, everyone desires to be happy.

I want you to be happy.

Because if you're happy, Kurumi, then I'm happy too.

Thank you, Saki-chan.

Let's be happy.

Yeah.

Kurumi and Saki sure are taking their time.

In there...

...they fell asleep...

...don't you...

...think?

Listen, you two.

Um... I have a person I like.

We heard that earlier.

I... want to be with the person I like.

And, I want that person...

No...

That's wrong.

Everyone...

...I want to be happy together with everyone!

An angel...

I don't know his name.

I don't know anything about him.

But why is it

that my heart trembles so?

After school, from the window,

I could see that person.

Why does everything he does

make me so happy, I wonder?

I want to say even one word, but

as if bound by invisible thread, I can't do a thing.

I believe we will carry on

to the end of this heavy time.

Even the moment the world ends

we two will overcome.

I have faith...

Will I have the courage?

I believe we will carry on

to the end of this heavy time.

Even the moment the world ends

we two will overcome.

I have faith...

Will I have the courage?
