I am Kenzaburo Tondabayashi,
a 52-year-old civil servant.

One day, I transformed into Grace,
the villainess of an otome game!

It has been around one month since then.

Anna and I have been studying magic
at the Royal Academy,

- and we're stepping into
a new stage in our magical education!

- Heed my call,
- and we're stepping into
a new stage in our magical education!

- and we're stepping into
a new stage in our magical education!

and reveal yourself!

(Episode 4: The Old Man Summons a Beast)

(Episode 4: The Old Man Summons a Beast)
It's a pegasus!

A surprisingly common species
for someone who scored top grade.

(Episode 4: The Old Man Summons a Beast)
Kinda meh, actually.

I shall appraise it.

Anna Doll's Beast is...

From the Pegasus race.

(Pegasus)
From the Pegasus race.

(Pegasus)
Its attribute is wind.

(Attribute: Wind)
Its attribute is wind.

(Attribute: Wind)
It will be your partner from now on.

Raise it with the utmost care.

Yes, Ma'am!
Thank you very much!

A Pegasus, huh?
A very fitting Beast for Anna.

I get the "Love" part from the
"Magical Academy: Love & Beast" title,

but what's a "Beast" in this context?

They're referring to servant beasts,
basically like a familiar.

(Servant Beasts (Beast))
They're referring to servant beasts,
basically like a familiar.

In this game, the protagonist will be given
an egg when she enters the academy.

- An egg?
- Yup, a Beast egg.

Then, after spending a month
in the academy, the egg will hatch.

When a Beast hatches
and becomes your partner,

the type of magic you can use
jumps up by a ton!

That's why some say the magic lessons
only really begin once you get a Beast.

And of course, depending on what
kind of Beast partners up with you,

it will drastically affect the story
and route you'll get after that!

That's one of the things
that makes this game fun!

You've successfully summoned a Beast.

Congratulations, Anna.

Thank you, Miss Grace!

A wind attribute pegasus, huh?

That means you will focus on
learning wind magic, isn't that right?

Yes, I love wind magic,
so I'm happy about that!

Wind magic means she has
a good affinity with earth magic, right?

That's not right, it's good
with water magic, isn't it?

Wait, it's not with fire magic?

We're still in the middle
of the ritual! Be quiet!

Right, elemental attribute systems
can be complicated depending on the game.

Right now, I should...

Miss Garnet.

Before we continue
the Beast summoning ritual,

can you give us a quick reminder
of the elemental attributes?

Very well, then.

Everyone, make sure you remember this.

Yes, Ma'am!

Amazing as always, Miss Grace!

(Miss Garnet's Magic Crash Course!)

The magic in this world

can be classified into four attributes:
fire, water, wind, and earth.

Each attribute can have good
or bad affinities with other attributes,

(Fire supplements Earth)
Each attribute can have good
or bad affinities with other attributes,

(supplements Water supplements Wind,)
so it's important to determine
your attribute compatibilities

(Fire & Water oppose each other,)
so it's important to determine
your attribute compatibilities

(Earth & Wind oppose each other)
both when fighting or helping someone.

For example, fire magic is effective
against water-based enemies.

But against stronger monsters,

Having an advantageous magic attribute
alone may not be enough to win the fight.

In that situation, by reinforcing
the fire magic with wind magic,

you can strengthen the fire magic
and defeat your enemy.

Do you understand that, everyone?

Yes, Ma'am!

In other words, the Beast's attribute will
decide how I tackle things from now on.

If this is a game, I would reroll as
many times until I get the Beast I want.

(Memory of the 80's)

Anna, this is just a what-if,

but if there is a magic to redo your
Beast summoning as many times as you want,

would you repeat it
until you get a rarer Beast?

Huh? Redo it?
Why would I do that?

I already have such
a lovely little one like this.

- Huh?
- No way!

Prince Virgile!

And Sir Auguste the Guardian as well!

Why are they here on a first-year lesson?

Miss Garnet, pay us no mind.

Please continue the summoning ritual.

We're just here to take some notes.

After all, our dear student council juniors
will be summoning their own Beasts.

So we might as well show ours.

Prince Virgile's Beast
is a griffon with a wind attribute.

(Griffon, Attribute: Wind)
Prince Virgile's Beast
is a griffon with a wind attribute.

Auguste's Beast is a garuda
with a fire attribute.

(Garuda, Attribute: Fire)
Auguste's Beast is a garuda
with a fire attribute.

They're both rare species.

Their mana is also on another level.

Student council members
really are different.

Hey there, Grace, Anna.

Is that pegasus your partner, Anna?

Y-yes, Your Highness!

I see...

Pegasus is a very honest beast
that reflects its master well.

It should be the perfect
partner for you, Anna.

Well, it's up to its master to develop
or kill its potential.

Y-yes! I'll do my best!

- Well, it looks like their affinity
with her is pretty high.

- And I don't mean literally killing it, okay?
- Well, it looks like their affinity
with her is pretty high.

- Yes, I'll do my best!
- Well, it looks like their affinity
with her is pretty high.

- Yes, I'll do my best!

Next person.

Grace Auvergne!

I will be going.

- Yes.
- Get 'em!

Miss Grace! I wish you luck!

Yes, thank you.

Place your egg here.

Yes.

So it has been one month since then.

Now, I will hand everyone
the most important thing for today.

When your name is called,
I want you to step up here.

From now on,
you will form a contract with your Beast.

After making the contract, the egg will be
stored in a magical space for a month,

and it will grow by being supplied
with mana by its master.

Understood.

Then, provide your name on the contract.

Grace Auvergne.

And then, on the summoning ritual,

the Beast will show itself
to its summoner for the first time.

As per the contract,
I, Grace Auvergne, command you.

Heed my call, and reveal yourself.

Well, the protagonist's Beast
has already been born.

Nobody would be interested in the
villainess' Beast, so I can take this easy.

It has to be of fire attribute.

No, it's not like I want it
to be the same as mine, but...

It should be of wind attribute.

After all, we will manage
the country as husband and wife...

I'd be happy if she gets wind like mine,
but if not, then I hope it'd be fire,

(People who are very interested in Grace's Beast)
that way I can support her, no,
I will support her no matter what!

Rerolling until I get a good Beast?

I don't think
that's the kind of thing I'd do.

I mean, I'm not exactly that much
of a tryhard anyway.

Besides, even if it's just a game,

isn't it a bit sad to make it like
it was never born in the first place?

You're right, Hinako.

Especially since this world is real
and cannot be reset.

No matter what kind of Beast is born,
I will accept it no matter what.

Huh?

What is that...?

Huh? F-fuse it? How?

Directly with my hand?

Huh? This voice...

Looks like a dragon, I guess?

So it seems, but what was that before it?

I have a lot of questions, but I will
proceed with the appraisal first.

Grace Auvergne's Beast is...

It's an ancient dragon.

Seriously?!

That's a legendary rare beast!

And as for its attribute...

It has dual attributes...
It has both fire and water attributes!

That's impossible!

That's impossible!
(Fire supplements Earth
supplements Water supplements Wind,)

(Fire supplements Earth
supplements Water supplements Wind,)

(Fire supplements Earth
supplements Water supplements Wind,)
A Beast can only have one attribute.

(Fire & Water oppose each other,
Earth & Wind oppose each other)
A Beast can only have one attribute.

(Fire & Water opposes each other)

(Fire & Water opposes each other)
Also, it's unthinkable for a Beast to have
attributes that oppose each other!

So basically...

This is where we say,
"Amazing as usual, Miss Grace!"?

It would be amazingly irresponsible
to just think of it as that.

Continued in part 2.

(Too much impossibilities, to be continued)
Continued in part 2.

(Too much impossibilities, to be continued)

I am Hinako Tondabayashi!

20 years old.

I was born to an otaku mother
and an otaku father.

I'm an otaku by blood!

Something happened yesterday,

when I was doing a challenge run
of Magical Academy: Love & Beast.

(Mother)

Hello, it's me.

Yes, I'm at home.

What?

Dad was in an accident?!

Dad was in an accident?!
(Tsumanuda General Hospital)

(Tsumanuda General Hospital)

(Tsumanuda General Hospital)
His head was apparently hit hard.

However, our test shows
that there is no damage to his brain.

There's no noticeable
external trauma either.

That said, he hasn't regained
consciousness for some reason.

Based on the brain scan, it seems
he's in a state similar to dreaming,

but I'm afraid we don't know much else.

He'll have to stay for now.

We will start a more extensive
examination tomorrow.

If you'll excuse me.

Well, at least Dad's not badly injured.

I'm sure one day he'll jump
out of bed and say,

"You fool, Jotaro!"

"I live again thanks to you!"

"Good grief,
looks like you're the real one."

Seriously though, I'm sure he's fine.

I heard the kid Dad saved
is all right as well.

Dad is just like his favorite
tokusatsu hero, right?

There's no way he won't wake up.

You're right. I think so, too.

All right, I have to do
the hospital paperwork,

you should go home first
and watch the house.

Gotcha. I'll make sure
to prepare dinner.

Huh, did I leave the TV on?

Huh, weird. It's not moving properly.
Did the controller run out of battery?

The TV remote isn't working either.
What's going on?

(Royal Academy of Magic: School Gate)
Isn't this the scene where Anna
had her first quarrel with Grace?

(This academy normally only allows nobles.)
But something's a bit different.

You know what that means, don't you?

You know, and yet here you are.
That means...

Your parents must have...

(Your parents must have been very wise and caring.)
Your parents must have been very wise and caring.

They raised you with lots of love.

(Grace (Kenzaburo))
They raised you with lots of love.

(Grace (Kenzaburo))

Dad?!

So, yeah...

Look, I know I'm sounding
really crazy here!

I know you'll tell me
to separate dreams from reality!

But if we objectively analyze
everything in the current situation...

That means Dad's consciousness
is inside this game!

Okay, got it.

So fast!

You see, people of my generation read
The Nev*rending Story in middle school,

and then moved on
to countless other Isekai stories.

Don't underestimate your mother's
credentials as an otaku.

So dependable...

I watched Crest of the R*yal Family,
Mashin Hero Wat*ru,

and NG Knight Ram*ne & 40
when it aired, you know?

I also have completed Ray*arth,
Fushigi Y*gi, and The Tw*lve Kingdom.

A fast-talking otaku is super dependable!

Oh, and when talking about Isekai stories,
you cannot skip over D*nbine.

It may be a mecha anime,
but it's also an Isekai anime.

And it's also very forward-thinking
for its time. It was 1983, you know?

Speaking of the '80s, the OVA Genmu Senki
L*da is also great. You know that? No?

But I really recommend it.
Let's watch it together someday.

Or do you want to go even older
and watch Chronicles of Narn*a instead?

But that one just got a movie recently,

so it's pretty confusing on
where to start on Isekai, huh?

Okay, Mum. I get it already.

Okay then, back to the current situation.

Can you tell me what's going on?

Yeah, okay.

First, this game is called
Magical Academy: Love & Beast.

Basically, it won't read any of my input.

And I can't turn off the TV either.

I see. That is certainly not normal.

That said, the choices that
usually appear don't show up,

but I can at least proceed with
the story by pressing the A button.

(Log, Record, Option, Return to game)

(Log, Record, Option, Return to game)
Also, I can still open the log of the dialogues,

(Log, Record, Option, Return to game)
and I can still use the Record function
to go back to previous scenes.

(Log, Record, Option, Return to game)
Right, do you want to check that out?

(Log, Record, Option, Return to game)
Sounds good. Please do.

(Log, Record, Option, Return to game)
Then let's start from the entrance ceremony.

Then let's start from the entrance ceremony.

(Royal Academy of Magic)
Then let's start from the entrance ceremony.

Could you pass my words on to the chef?

(THE Elegant Cheat)

(THE Elegant Cheat)
Tell them, the food
was incredibly delicious.

(THE Elegant Cheat)
Elegant Cheat, huh?

That does sound like
something Dad would say.

When this kind of thing happens,
you should divide by nine.

- That's a salaryman tech.
- it does sound like Dad.

Our Holy round to find those
Hidden evildoers and round them up!

- That's totally Dad!
- That's totally Dad!

Oh man, I'm feeling all this
second-hand embarrassment...

Well, you just have to get used to it.

C-can I...?

The problem is how
to bring Dad back here?

I'm guessing you have to finish the game?

Of course, there's no guarantee
that would work,

but right now,
that's the only thing we can do.

You're right.

Since we can at least keep watching the story,

let's continue on it for now.

Roger, Mum!

It's morning already...?

Morning, Mum.

Morning...

You're still going at it, Hinako?

I'm used to playing games all night,
so it's no problem.

After playing overnight, we're about
one month into the game's story.

The flow of time here and inside
the game sure is different, huh?

(As per the contract,
I, Grace Auvergne, command you.)
But thanks to that, we've made it

(Heed my call, and reveal yourself.)
to the most important early event,
the Beast summoning.

The Beast that is born here
will affect future story development...

(Grace (Kenzaburo) is summoning a beast.
Lend a hand? Yes/No)

(Grace (Kenzaburo) is summoning a beast.
Lend a hand? Yes/No)
What the...

(Grace (Kenzaburo) is summoning a beast.
Lend a hand? Yes/No)
"Grace is summoning a beast. Lend a hand?"

Wait, a choice?!

But so far we're going on a fixed route!

We can finally meddle with the story?!

But what does it mean by lending a hand?

Beast summoning is purely RNG,
there shouldn't be any way to help!

But basically it's asking
if we want to help Dad, right?

Yeah, that would be it...

In that case...

There's only one choice!

(Yes)
There's only one choice!

(Yes)

Fuse a Beast by combining
Grace and Kenzaburo's mana.

- Huh?!
- Huh?!

Please fuse their mana.

Huh? F-fuse it? How?

Please perform it directly by hand.

Directly with my hand?

What, like a touch panel?

But this is just a normal LCD TV...

Hand...

When you said, "Lend a hand",

you meant it literally?!

(Illustration: Nami Hidaka)

Speaking of monsters and egg, it reminds
me of Tamag*tchi which used to be popular.

By the way, does a Beast consume food?

Maybe they'll use our mana as nourishment,
just like when they're still an egg?

That means we don't have
to clean their poop, huh?

If we leave them for just a bit,
something bad tends to happen too...
