You'd be better off if you stopped attacking me. Ichijou and I are "good friends". : Don't you think it would better to keep things the way they are, without him knowing who you are, and then graduating? Wouldn't it be cleverer to think about how to give him a better impression when he found out? : For example : casually helping him out.....? .P 07 : Yo, you made it. *gasa* *rustle* Mashiro: I thought you'd be here..... Giraffe: Hey, sorry to be abrupt, but- Mashiro: Eh? Giraffe: Have you ever won when you were fighting against that Armor? Mashiro: .............! : Of course I won!! Giraffe: Really. : Well, that's good, but .P 08 : Shouldn't you be watching your back? *BUN *VHOOM* .P 09 *GA* *CLANG* Mashiro: [He came.....!!] Armor: You're planning to pull out those swords? : Have you thought about why? Why you fight with swords inside this Dream? : Do you know why swords appear in your hands? .P 10 : How about this? : Haven't you been wondering and concentrating on me? : You want to fight me. It's all you can think about. : That is why you called for a sword. Because you wanted a sword in your hand, like me. Mashiro: Stop it... Don't touch me. Armor: Come on, pull out your swords... Let's do it, just as you want it. : Pretty : little girl. .P 11 *pan* *crack* : N- *BAN* *BOOM* : Oooo! .P 12 *zu* *slither* Mashiro: *scream* *zuru* *slither* *biku* *shock* : Ah... .......! *zuru zuru zuru* *slither slither slither* *meki* *creak* *meki meki meki* *creak creak creak* *bakin* *crunch* *pashi* *shatter* *meki* *creak* .P 13 *fui* *fwooosh* Mashiro: ............

Ah *ZAKU* *SKLURCH* : AHHH! Giraffe: You really are a terrible girl. Hey! : All I can see are those eyes of yours, but they're ugly enough. : When push comes to shove, this is all you can manage. : Will you hold onto the man you love even if it means you have to perforate him? : Ichijou won't forget this, ever: : How ghastly you are!! .P 19 *PI* *SHATTER* *fu* *fhoo* Ma: KUREHA...! : You...! How could you be so cruel...!? Giraffe: What? I helped you, didn't I? Don't complain. : Now, put that key around my neck. : After that, I'll depend on you to guard me to till the Gate. When we get there I'll tell you who the Armor is. .P 20 : ...By the way, why are you wearing a girl's uniform? Do you really like pretending to be a girl? GothGirl: ...No way. Really, Mr. Giraffe, partnering up with him when you didn't even know? : Even though this boy is the one with the most interesting form in real life... .P 21 Giraffe: What? What, what? Tell me! GG: Well, you see- Ma: ...Stop it!! What does it matter!? GG: That kid's real form is- Ma: I TOLD YOU TO STOP!! GG: The upper half is male. : The lower half is female. *kaa* *bluush* Giraffe: ...What's that!? Really!? Is something like that even possible!? : Woa, amazing! .P 22 : *Gyaha* Somehow that's much sexier than a normal girl, isn't it? Ma: ....... Giraffe: Hm.... Your lower half, eh? I don't want to graduate without a look. : ... That's it! How about we change the conditions of our agreement? Strip down right here and give me a peek and I'll tell you who everyone is. Well? How about it? *gyahaha* *vuun* *swish* .P 23 *ZUBA* *SLASH* Giraffe: Idi... : I was joki... *zuba* *slash* *pan* *crack* .P 24 *paki* *shatter* *ha haa* *gasp gasp* GG: Oh, look what you did. : Weren't you working with that giraffe? .P 25 GG: ...Such a delicate kid. : So fastidious. : Fragile. Immature. : Insecure. Hysterical. How very girly... Ma: ............!! SHUT UP.....!! .P 26 *sui* *swish* .P 27 GG: You can't hurt me with those. Ma: ...You....... : You are...... : What are you? : Tell me..... Tell me your name! *pi* *crack* .P 28 GG: "Ai". .P 30 Kureha: [What'll I do.....? I have to apologize....... I didn't mean to.....] : [......... What'll I do........?] : [What'll I do.....? .....What....?] .P 31 Ma: [She must be angry.....] .P 32 : [Kureha....] : [Tomorrow I have to talk to her and apologize.....] [[Note: Mashiro is looking through a student listing.]] Ma: ["Ai"...] : I that "Ai"...? Or "Aiko"...? Girl: Ai-chan. .P 33 Ma: [Kikawada Aimi.......] : ["Ai"...................] : [...There's probably an ending to it? I'm going to end up suspecting everyone.] : [What am I doing? Prying into everyone's dirty secrets.] : [Just like Kureha accused me of...] : ...Kureha! Um... About yesterday... .P 34 *sui* *turn* Ma: !? Kureha? Wait... Itsuki: Yo, Ichijou. : Let's go over what happened yesterday, And prepare for next week's class. : Stirring you up was my mistake. I neglected to gather information on you. : I didn't know about your body, and I didn't realize that it bothered you so much that you'd snap. .P 35 : ....I thought you'd be angry, but you're surprisingly calm. I thought for sure our agreement was over. Itsuki: Angry? Why? Like I just said, I brought it on myself when you tore me into pieces. : You're not my "ally". We're just tied together by an arrangement which benefits both of us. That doesn't change the fact that you're simply one of my enemies, just like all of the other students. : Everyone else is an enemy. It's common sense to strike if there's an opportunity. I'm not angry... .P 36 Ma: ........... That's a really awful way of putting it. I don't really think I'm your ene- Itsuki: Well, if you're not interested in the Armor anymore, we can end our agreement. Ma: ......! Itsuki: How about it? Ma: ..................... : ...Alright. I get it. We keep going. However, : Don't mention my body again! : Whatever anyone says, I am a boy. I'm not a girl! Never...!! .P 37 Itsu: Got it, you're not a girl. ...More than that : You never could be a girl. : A girl puts on her unassuming face every day and fights. Against being objectified, and dirty jokes, and things that try to pollute them-- that's their everyday routine. : Girls are destined to fight like that from birth, and even while men are treating them like that, they're living as if they haven't a care in the world. .P 38 : You could never do that. Not when every little thing throws you into a tizzy..... Ma: What are you talking about!!? You talk as if.... : I'm weaker than a woman! Itsu: And if that's what I meant? *muka* *angry* Ma: ...What is this?! What about you? Let's consider why you have that shape in the Dream!! : After all, you're so smart. Always calmly looking down on us mere mortals from your lofty heights... : But! .P 39 : All of the sudden you're a bendable paper giraffe!! You don't even have the power to prop up your conceit!! So you're weak. : Am I not right!? .P 40 Itsu: .....Are you finished finding all of my faults? : You really are a mass of complexes. : I'm beginning to feel sorry for you... .P 41 Boy: ...... What are you doing all limp like that? What's wrong? Ma: ......... Leave me alone. : I don't have the energy to deal with you right now. Boy: ...You recognized me just by my voice. Ma: Sure. Boy: ............ .P 42 Sou: ...Can I have a little of your attention? Ma: No. I'm not interested in you, I hate you, : It hurts to breathe, and I'm tired. Sou: ............. Does that mean that your answer is to oppose everything I am? .P 43 Ma: I don't understand you at all. ...So... I don't know what to do... Sou: ...... If there's something you don't understand, why not just ask me? Here. Now. Ma: ...........I......... .P 44 : Why is it... that you like me? Sou: Because I think you're a beautiful woman. Ma: *No hesitation. Wh-What should I do...?* : "Woman".... Hmmmm... I see. .P 45 : So, I've heard that you'll go after any woman you see. Sou: ....What're you doing? Don't go making wild accusations. Somehow that sounds like you're saying even if I'm a man you wanted me to fall for you. *Forgive me.* Ma: !! That is not what I'm saying! Don't go making wild accusations!! *pu* *pop* : ......Ok. I got it. : I admit it. || DROP ME A LINE!! || I ate a pork bowl at Yoshigyuu the other day for the first time. They've got a bad reputation compared to beef bowls, but I like them!

I admit it. ...but : How do you know that, Sou? What did you see? Who did you hear it from...!? .P 47 Sou: I can't answer that. Ma: !! : You're the one who said to just ask if I wanted to know!! Sou: I can't say now. : We haven't gotten to the point where we can talk about those things. .P 48 : If you want to know about me : you have to get closer to me. : ....Or am I going to have to be the one to make you come close again? : Like I did before. .P 49 Girls: The weather's really great today. : Not a single cloud! It feels so nice. .P 50 : Let's eat our lunches outside today. : Good idea! # In the next class, will the participants' identities finally be made clear...!?
