Sengoku Otome: Momoiro Paradox

Cruel Blade!

Hey.

Who are you?

Thinking back,

this is where everything began going wrong.

Probably.

Ever since I was little, trouble has always had a way of finding me.

I can't breathe...

The doors on the right side will open.

Please be careful.

Finally there...

What is this?

I'm getting off! I'm getting off!

No!

I'll be late again!

Oda Nobunaga was born in 1534.

He is, without doubt, the most famous

general of the Warring States era.

Begining with his unification of Owari, in 1559,

continuing with his Okehazama battle with Imagawa Yoshimoto...

Hideyoshi.

Here.

Tokunyan.

Thanks.

Quietly, quietly...

Hide-san?

You're late again?

But I never expected that to happen!

Episode 1

A Maiden Teleported

Why are you always late?

I can't get off the train.

It gets so crowded during rush hour...

Don't touch that!

You're so mean, Date-sensei!

I'm not.

Anyway, you can just take an earlier train.

You're right, but I can't get up any earlier.

I'm at my limit now!

You should just go to bed earlier.

You're right, but...

I've got things to do at night.

Things?

Looking at my favorite idol, Tama-chan's blog,

checking out the net auctions, reading magazines,

and texting my friends!

And then, there are late night snacks...

So next thing I know, it's already really late.

Hide-san.

It's good to have lots of interests,

but try to study a little and not just play.

I'm not playing!

Sorry, but fashion and snacks are my life.

I'm not playing!

Right, right.

I understand.

Do you really, Date-sensei?

Listen, if you fail the next test,

you'll have make-up classes all the way until summer vacation.

Seriously?

Seriously.

Now... Go home and study.

I've got something to do today,

so I don't have much time.

That's so cold of you.

Your student is having a really hard time.

First, do your best.

If that's not enough, I might help you out.

Akerin, what should I do?

What should you do?

You should study for your test.

You should at least remember Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

You're nicknamed "Hideyoshi," after all.

I just can't, Tokunyan.

I didn't get it

because I liked that Toyotomi Hidekichi guy, anyway.

Hidekichi...

I guess calling you Hideyoshi because your name's

Hideyoshino is pretty straightforward.

Anyway, you'll be in big trouble

if you don't seriously start studying.

My free and lovely after-school time...

What should I do?

I prayed to God, and I got a BR Riichi!

God answered my prayers!

Praying to a god...

Pass Your Tests

Will my wish come true?

These stairs just go on and on.

And they're so steep.

And this place feels really scary...

And it's dark.

It's like a horror movie!

I'm here, but...

See, no one's here.

Omikuji fortunes?

Well, I like testing my luck more than relying on a god.

This is perfect!

Oh, the money, right!

OK! Perfect!

Now I won't need any make-up classes!

I haven't prayed yet!

What should I do?

I only have 1 yen left, for the whole month...

Is that too little, maybe?

I only have this much right now,

but I'll pay the rest, once I get promoted.

Did I do that right?

No! My after-school life!

What's that?

Someone's there.

What is this?

Wow...

What?

Oh, no!

Huh?

I fell asleep.

Am I in a park? No... A forest?

How?

A mountain?

What's that?

A campfire?

That's not a campfire!

A fire!

Fire department!

I've gotta call 119!

Someone's there!

Excuse me!

Are you OK?

We need to call the fire department...

Akerin!

I'm so relieved...

Akerin, I went to this temple,

and all this weird stuff happened.

What's going on here?

There's a fire!

Did you call the fire department?

Akerin?

What are you talking about?

I don't know you!

Hey!

That's not funny at all right now!

Villains!

Who are these people?

Arsonists?

Robbers?

Hey!

We'll talk later!

Were you the ones who attacked this village?!

Cruel Blade!

My lord!

Hey.

Who are you?

M-Me? I'm... Um, well, Hideyoshino...

I mean... I... I'm...!

Um... People call me Hideyoshi.

Hideyoshi?

A good name.

Who doesn't have a flush toilet by now?

Anyway, I followed them like they asked, but...

It's dark.

What is this place?

Why don't they use any electricity?

Are they trying to save energy?

It gives the place atmosphere,

but the candles will strain my eyes.

This mansion is huge, but...

I'm terribly sorry about this.

It isn't your fault.

Don't worry about it.

What's going on here?

One girl looks just like Akerin.

And she and the other woman are both kinda weird.
