That's where I used to live.

That's the lake I always looked at.

Below that is Takeru's lodging, the place we were just at.

Beyond that is a town where lots of people live.

Yeah. The world is big!

Gee, how sweet and innocent.

Fine, fine.

I'm more generous than I look.

When it's time to bare yourself, I'll strip anything!

Well now, prepare yourself.

So I might change once more.

These clothes are... mine?

Sorry, it took a while to finish.

But what do you think? It's cute, isn't it?

Yup, it's cute!

Nobody asked you guys anything.

Well, like they say, "clothes make the woman".

This thing's... probably happy, right?

Hey, if Akari has one of these...

Hikari should also have one, right?

Yeah, I wonder if she has one somewhere.

We're done here, too!

How is it?

Wow! You're looking great as well!

Sis, those clothes...

I'm going to start school tomorrow.

School?

Yes!

But she sure went through the transfer process easily...

You're right...

There's no need to worry about that.

First Class Transfer Procedure

Authorized by the Myouji education council

Just let me handle everything.

Because nothing is impossible for me.

Who are you?

You seem happy.

Yes!

Everyone goes to school.

I believe it is a fun place.

There are sure to be new encounters waiting for me there.

Episode 5

School Days

Are you nervous?

Y-Yes.

It's my first time going to school.

I don't think you should expect that much from it...

Don't be so negative...

I've talked about it with her before.

You have to be careful.

S-Sorry.

Even walking seems troublesome, doesn't it?

It's okay, I like to walk.

You can see lots of different colors when you walk.

Colors?

Yes.

Well, like here, there, and over there.

You can see a lot of colors that can't be seen around the house.

Is that so?

That's Hikari, all right.

Well, let's go.

Okay.

I wonder what kind of colors the school has...?

This is school...?

Far fewer colors than the town had...

You're probably right about that.

You.

Yeah, I mean you.

What's with that hair color?

Dying your hair that kind of color goes against the school rules.

This is Hikari's natural hair color.

Geez, what was that all of a sudden?

Don't worry though, not everyone here is like that.

Okay.

Hikari.

Yes.

I will introduce you to our transfer student.

My name is Hikari Hoshino.

Cute!

Where are you from?

Pleased to meet you all.

So "Hoshino" is the surname she came up with.

Note: "Hoshino" literally means "from the stars".

It doesn't stray that much from her image.

Indeed. It has a nice ring to it.

Please ask the class representative if you need anything.

Yoshida!

Yes.

Um, over here.

I'm Mayu Yoshida. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

Speaking as myself, not as God,.

nor as Buddha,.

my voice, without any of the extraordinary,.

as an extraordinary thing, confirming one's frailty.

And a fate that made it so.

Now, I have assumed the form of a frail human, and I speak to you now,.

not as God of as Buddha, but as an empty man. And though I have a heart that differs from a human-

Ryou-sama!

Please don't shout in the hallways!

Not quite what you had in mind?

Hey!

But it's written all over her face.

A disappointed look.

Um, is... is that true? Are you disappointed?

Damn you, Takeru!

Hikari is disappointed!?

What did you do? I won't forgive you. I won't!

That's not it!

I was just asking if it was a little different from what she imagined, that's all.

I always thought school was a place that was vibrant and radiant each day, overflowing with cheerfulness.

But...

It's certainly not just a place like that.

Hmm... It's kinda like Wiener Coffee.

Note: Wiener Coffee is a dark coffee with whipped cream and powdered sugar.

Bitter, yet there's a certain sweetness to it as well.

Ooh, that's rather philosophical.

You can't ask for sweetness alone.

Right?

Well...

I guess...

I don't quite get it yet.

Well, for me, it's like playing the same game over and over again.

Well, we have to attend school every day, right?

That's kinda like playing the same game over and over again.

I guess it's something like that...

If we could get a new school, I wonder if it'd feel like a new game?

If so, we should first get some new girls!

Oh! That's a good idea!

Morons!

So school is really... like that...

No! Um...

I don't feel that way.

I get to eat lunch with everyone every day.

That's just like you.

I'm sorry. I should've told you beforehand what school was all about.

Well, that's how it is.

But, as long as you don't expect too much, you should be fine.

Then... why does everyone come to school every day?

Do all the people that go to school like it?

Or do they hate it?

She's pretty good for a first-timer!

Oh my.

Mayu.

Thanks. But I'm all right.

Attention: We will now perform an evacuation drill.

All students, please follow your teachers' instructions and calmly proceed to the schoolyard.

Um, this is...?

Didn't you hear about it during homeroom?

Don't worry. It's only a drill.

Come, follow me.

Ah, okay.

This sucks...

We have to line up in these clothes?

Eh... What was that...

Hoshino?

Ahh, this makes me want to ditch.

Yeah, really.

Form a line!

Hey, where's Hikari?

I thought she came with us...

She's not here.

She ran away!

Takeru, you got dumped so quickly!

Shut up!

Do you always do this?

I... don't do it often.

"Not often" as in today's the first time.

Do you think that's boring?

But school is like that.

But... But you know,.

during our match earlier...

At times like that I feel so...

...uncool.

I hate it.

I wonder why they make us do that...

Then just don't do it.

But I'm clumsy, so I have to try twice as hard as the others.

No... It takes all my effort just trying to keep up.

I keep showing my clumsy side...

School is a place where everyone has to do the same thing, right?

Even though some of us can't even keep up...

Well?

Is that fun?

I...

No... I hate school.

Then we should just tear it down.

Disasters such as fires and earthquakes happen without warning.

But even so, I doubt your school will collapse just like tha-

My school...!

Hikari!

Takeru?

Hikari!

Hikari, are you okay?

Yes.

Why did this happen...?

I don't know. I was here when I woke up.

A monster!?

Don't put me on the same level as those things.

It spoke!

Are you okay, Mistress?

Excuse me?

Well, I'm glad nobody was hurt.

But Yoshida, why were you here?

I have no idea...

What? You were the one who destroyed the school!?

What's the meaning of this?

Meaning... Well...

Explain yourself!

It's too much trouble.

I hate troublesome things.

That's good enough, right?

What's up with this guy?

Some lazy guy?

Please explain clearly.

Understood.

His attitude changed all of a sudden...

Well then, please hear me out.

Embedded in the core of my body is a crystal emitting a shiny blue light.

My intelligence and knowledge is all stored in there.

The crystal can manipulate the matter around it.

It was able to create this body, for instance.

However, after remaining dormant for some time, that crystal...

Before you get into that, why did you break down the school?

I don't think he really had that intention.

When he woke up, he happened to be trapped by the columns of the building...

You mean he broke the column to get out?

Well, that's how it happened.

What an annoying way to wake up...

You should've just kept sleeping.

I couldn't do that.

I heard the voice of my Mistress.

Mistress?

Do you mean Hikari?

Your name is Hikari now?

Your appearance has also changed.

I didn't know it was you at first.

So you are Hikari's... what?

Something like a bodyguard?

That wouldn't suprise me.

She has a weirdo with her, too.

It's not a weirdo, it's Kuon.

Let me see it for a bit.

You have to be nice, okay?

That definitely looks like a companion of mine.

Haha, this one is pretty small.

Ouch!

Then she must be his Mistress... but I hadn't felt anything all this time...

Oh well.

I wonder if these two are also siblings?

You're being too friendly!

What's wrong with staying close to my Mistress?

Did Hikari tell you to wake up?

That's right.

I have no clue what he's talking about.

You sensed Hikari and acted without her telling you to...

A-Anyway, I just woke up.

I'm not responsible for what happened at school!

Let's just leave it at that.

You...!

I wonder if he'll be living here too...

Hello!

New face, huh?

Well, whatever. Drink!

Delicious!

You drink well! I like that!

What's your name?

Please call me Ionius.

Okay, understood. Onii-tan!

Ionius!

Too long!

I will go to school again tomorrow.

But I don't think anybody will show up.

I feel bad about it.

I'd like to do whatever I can.

Okay.

I don't know what we can do, but let's go and see.

Okay.

Seems only the workers came.

Ionius, please give them a hand.

Understood.

Is that going to work?

...so please do it this wa-

I'm here to help!

What's this?

Probably some new invention?

Well in that case...

Hoshino.

Yoshida.

Yesterday was kind of weird.

I don't remember much of it, but...

W-Well, you're probably just...

...confused from the shock.

Yeah, that's it!

That's what I thought.

But I'm glad that you're okay.

Sorry, I wanted to wait until you regained consciousness but...

Um, why did you come to school?

No reason...

See you later.

I wonder why she came?

Hikari?

What are you doing?

Um... nothing.

I'll help.

But...

It's okay.

Sounds fun, doesn't it?

Yup.

Really?

One, two!

If we don't find it soon, I'm going to collapse.

Found it!

Thank goodness.

A scrapbook?

I made this when I was class representative last year.

Is that what you were looking for?

Yup.

Looking at this brings back memories.

Not just the school festivals and field trips,.

but also things that happened when I made this and things before and after that.

Good times and bad times...

Alot of different memories.

Um, this is...

...something important to you, right?

By the way, they all gathered here.

Yeah, you're right.

There's a lot of people. People just like Yoshida.

- I'm taking it!

I think I understand!

Yoshida... no, everyone likes school, right?

Maybe not every aspect of it.

There may be things people hate about it.

But if good memories come from it... that means people generally like it, right?

Did I say something strange?

Nope, sorry.

Yeah, it's probably just as you say.

Wow, there's quite a bit of people!

You guys...

There's something I wanted to come get, so...

Me too.

Everyone came in the end.

I should've brought my lunch.

I'm going to go help some more.

This is causing problems!

We're supposed to maintain the status quo.

Don't be so strict.

These things are important to them.

Cut them a little slack!

Sis!

Why are you here?

It seemed fun so we decided to drop by.

What's wrong? Why so glum?

I see.

Feeling like a parent who just married off her daughter?

It's fine with me.

If Hikari has found a fun place to be...

So you say...

...but you're not really that good-natured!

You guys!

Takeru, look!

Lots of colors.

There weren't this many colors here, yesterday.

Bring burnable trash over here!

Lots of wonderful colors.

Red, yellow and gold.

There are lots of colors.

How stupid...

These things won't last anyway.

Everything will soon go back to the way it was.

A boring everyday life.

That's just boring.

What was that...

It's a bit early, but due to circumstances, summer break will commence tomorrow!

Did you hear that?!

Summer break!

Then what about school?

There won't be school, since we're on break.

Oh no, that's awful! I just started to get the good parts of school, too!

Don't worry. When fall comes, second semester will start right away.

Really? I can't wait till fall.

How can you think about that right now?

That's right. We've got summer break before that.

I'll show you a lot of other fun things besides school.

massugu ni kocchi wo neratteru taiyou

The sun aims straight at us.

I want a tan from the bright summer light.

chotto dake fuan demo suteki

Despite some worries, it'll still be great.

Next Episode

I'm Takeru Takemoto.

Camping in the mountains over summer break is pretty normal, I know that.

That's fine!

We want Hikari and Akari to try ordinary things.

What!? Ionius is coming along too?

Jennifer, even?

Next time on This Ugly and Beautiful World,.

Staying by the Waterside.

I sincerely hope everything's normal and nothing goes wrong.
