Sound: Bang Hotohori: What are you doing to my kid---!! Hotohori: Chichiri, you were also in on it!! (huff puff) Chichiri: Da------ eek Chichiri: Emperor, calm down... Miaka (thought): Really.... What should we do? Shigyou: Who is that food for? Lady: It's for the Crown Prince... Boushin-sama. Lady: !? Hotohori: A... Anyway, try and think of a way to do it! Since he's just a baby, you absolutely can't use violence! Chichiri: But where is it in his body... Sound: squeak [106] Lady: Excuse us. Empress, we've brought Boushin-sama's meal. Miko-sama and friends, your meal is in another room. If your business is done here, you're welcome to it.... Miaka: Ya---y Hotohori: All right... I'll talk to you later. Boushin probably wants to have his meal now. Boushin: ? Houki: Boushin, go ahead and eat. If you eat well, you'll grow up quickly. Lady: So, Crown Prince...

Chichiri: They were being controlled! That's right, Tasuki---- [111] Miaka: Oh! Me too---- Sound: Kaaa... Miaka: ----Huh!? No way!! Miaka: ...Sorry, everybody! I've gotta return to the other world! Miaka: I'll I'll be coming back, so... wait for me!! Chichiri: Miaka-----! [112] Beast: Ha Tasuki: DIE____ Sound: Fu Tasuki: Hu...Huh!? Sound: Caw.... [113] Miaka: ....I've returned... Miaka: Geez, and at such an important time!! Miaka: Being there for only one hour our time is short, Suzakusei-kun!! Sound: ha Miaka(thought): Come to think of it, where's Taka----? Miaka: ...TAKA!? [114] Miaka: N.... No way. Taka!! Taka!? Miaka: ...It... It can't... be Th... This is... his splattered... gu... guts...? Miaka: Waaahaa--- Taka is splattered-----!! Sound: Muku Taka: ...Who's splattered, who!! Miaka: Taka!! You were alive!! Taka: Of course! I was kind of in pain, so I was only lying down! Miaka: B... But all the guts around you... Taka: They're not guts. It's something I thought we would eat together. I put these four takoyaki next to my belly, and they splattered all over the place! The red stuff is the sauce. [115] Taka: Hey! Don't cry anymore, 'cause I'm fine... Miaka: Waaa---- Miaka: My takoyaki---!! Taka: I'M GONNA SMACK YOU.... Miaka: (exhale) But why did the takoyaki... I mean, why did you end up like this!? Taka: ... I also just barely escaped with my life, thanks to the takoyaki. ....I'm so glad you're okay! Did nothing happen!? Miaka: Saying nothing happened would be an understatement... That bastard Tenkou extinguished Mt. Taikyoku!! Taka: HUH!? Miaka: We found a stone, but it's inside Hotohori's child, and we can't get it out! Taka: WHA--!? Miaka: ...Oh yeah, and that pager message! Just why did you... Taka: (breath) That's right! That guy... He didn't come? Taka: Ren Shigyou! He was the demon's... Tenkou's minion!! Miaka: !? [116] Beast: Grrr.... Shigyou: Grrr.... [117] Shigyou: Come here. Shigyou: In a little while longer we'll have disposed of the child... But our true family business is the surveillance and disturbance of Miaka Yuuki and Taka Sukunami, huh. Shigyou: ...I guess I'll just leave the kid to the Harakara. Shigyou: Pass this on to Tenkou-sama. Shigyou: That I will show him that I will surely shred them into pieces ---- Sound: shuffle shuffle Sign: Student Body President: Ren Shigyou Vice President: Yui Hongou [118] Naomi: Look, Miaka! Just as we thought -- Shigyou-kun is the President. Miaka(th): Shigyou-kun... Miaka: Shigyou-kun is Tenkou's minion... you're lying, right? But he's a good person! Taka: It may sound like a lie, but he disappeared to chase after you right before my eyes. Surely that guy who attack you, Kuwahara, and that senior who jumped... were all under his control. Miaka: It can't be... I don't believe it. Shigyou-kun... did that to the takoyaki! Taka: Can't you just drop the matter of the takoyaki!! Taka: Anyway! Tomorrow, afterschool, I'll come to your school again! Before we collect the stones, we've got to make sure we're right about him. Miaka(th): ...Taka wouldn't lie so easily... [119] Miaka(th): So then, after those ladies-in-waiting and Kuwahara-kun had spoken with Shigyou-kun, they became weird --? Chichiri: Someone's controlling them! Miaka(th): The Student Body President... he made Sasaki-senpai, such a popular person, jump--- Naomi: Ah, Shigyou-kun!! Naomi: Congratulations! Miaka(th): ...And now he's become the Student Body President in his place--- Yui: Hey, Miaka! Miaka: Yui-chan! Miaka: Congratulations, Student Body VP! Yui: It's all because of your hilarious support speech. ...But there's something else. Miaka: ? [120] Yui: It's just, I don't know how to say it, but... I have a funny feeling about that Shigyou guy. Yui: Right after school I've got a student council meeting, but... I'm a little worried about it. Miaka(th): Even Yui-chan --- Guy: So, I guess we'll open up today's meeting. Guy: Finally, the new president would like to give us some kind of greeting--- Shigyou: It's not really the greeting... you're talking about. From now on, I'll be managing the student body, so I've got a proposition to make. Sound: scrape [121] Taka: (shift shift) ...How's the meeting going, Miaka? Miaka: Yui-chan's legs are real pretty--- Taka: Who wants to know about legs! It's what they're saying! Miaka: ...Just talking about... regular stuff, looks like. I also watched Shigyou-kun the who-- le day... nothing happened. Taka: ...The whole day...!? Geez, you.... Student Council member: ---Control all the violations of rules that the students make...!? Prepare a detention room---!? Shigyou: From now on, it's not the school that makes the rules, it's us... Because if "autonomy" is bad, it will become "negligence." Shigyou: First off, only the students can persuade the school. If we justly discipline them, they will all behave--- and I think the school will give their approval. Shigyou: First of all, the student council has got to take the initiative to cut off the root of corruption. Yui: Objection!! Yui: I can't agree with that. You can't ask students to repress other students! [122] Sh: Don't say such a thing, Vice President... Hongou-san. I'm only _thinking_ about doing what I just said. Yui: I don't think the other students will agree to such a tyrannical way of doing things! Miaka(th): Yui-chan, go - go- Shigyou: But I think other people will come to understand it... Shigyou: So, let's hear it. Shigyou: Who agrees with my plan. Sound: su Yui: ...! Guy: All the class representatives meeting here agree on this plan. Shigyou: So, I guess I'll draw up a more concrete proposal. Sound: BANG Yui: ....I can't believe it! I have no mind to talk about this senseless thing. I firmly object! [123] Miaka: Sa Shigyou: Hongo-san! Shigyou: Be careful on your way home. Shigyou: Pray that a blue dragon doesn't snap at you again. Yui: !? Miaka: ....Looks like Yui-chan's going home. Shall we hear a detailed account of it? Taka: All right, I'll be here while you get it. Miaka: that's right... Taka... don't you have to work? If you're doing this... Taka: Dum-my. I'll probably give it up. Perhaps he's your number one enemy, perhaps he's a friend, but I'm just worried you'll find another guy! [124] Miaka: Wha... Miaka: What are you saying, you idiot! Sound: smack Taka: Hey, hurry up and go! Miaka(th): I love Taka. Except for Taka, I don't see anyone else. This feeling... Together we want to protect this precious thing in our hearts. But... there are people who want to take him away from me. Shigyou-kun --- is he really one of them ----? [125] Sound: step step Sound: Byuuu.... [126] Sound: Crash Yui: Kyaaa.... [127] Miaka: Yui-chan!? Miaka: YUI-CHAN!! Miaka: Hang on! Girl: Hey! What happened to you!? Miaka: The infirmary... Please take Yui-chan to the infirmary! Sound: stomp Girl: H-- Hey Miaka(th): He was laughing. [128] Miaka: Taka!! Taka: Miaka!? Miaka: He... was laughing. He really was the one doing those things to Kuwahara-kun, Sasaki-senpai, and the ladie-in-waiting of Konan! Miaka: This time -- he's hurt Yui-chan! Miaka (th): I'll never forgive it. [129] Shigyou: ...So you've finally arrived. Miaka: ...Shigyou-kun! Until now, I thought I believed in you! I thought you were a good person------ Sound: bang Taka: !! [130] Miaka: Taka!? Taka: Wh... at's this power... Are you con... trolling them -----? Taka: mgrhh Taka: Miaka!! Run away, Miaka----!! Miaka: Shigyou-kun!! Let Taka go right this instant!! Shigyou: ...I can't do that, you know. Shigyou: I'm holding him from you like this. We've got to have fun all together. I'll have him do some sightseeing ----Of your pitiful body.
