Hanaori-san Still Wants to Fight in the Next Life

Hey, bubble butt.

It's Hanaori.

If you turned into an animal, what would you wanna be?

A cat.

Got it.

Pain, pain, go away.

Huh?

Poof

Meow?

It worked.

Mraow?!

What's going on?

Heh heh

I've been developing this new spell.

A spell to transform my allies more safely.

Hiss!

Hiss!

Hiss!

So you experimented on me?

Well, I did get your consent first.

Hiss!

Hiss!

Hiss!

That didn't qualify as consent!

I'm a genius.

Hiss!

Use more of that "genius" on being considerate.

How are you feeling?

Hiss!

Hiss!

It's indescribable.

Talking to creatures shorter than me feels amazing.

Talk about a rotten personality.

So what's the duration on this spell?

Huh? The duration?

Roughly, uh...

Dumb

Two and a half hours, I guess?

Meow?

You jerk!

Growl!

Growl!

Gosh.

I was planning to cast the spell to cancel it.

Oh well. It's fine.

It's not fine.

Dread

Episode 6

Pulp Fiction

Ah, it's a cat.

Swish!

Swish!

Matsurika?

Kitty.

Dread

She's totally shady.

Graaaah!

Don't run! Wait!

You're scary.

H-How about this?

M-Meow.

What are you doing?

Cat!

Cat.

I wanted to befriend a cat.

Well, it makes sense if there's a cat.

You understand how I feel?

Sure do.

A time like this calls for...

...a cat teaser.

Cat Teaser~

Come on. Come here, come here.

I'm not going to fall for...

Meow!

Slide!

Slide!

Slide!

Slide!

Oh no! My feline instincts!

S-Stop, meow!

Cat and Teacher

I've ended up near Ryusei.

Hard at work, huh?

Wh-What? Has he figured it out?

Hawawawawa

A cat that doesn't run from me on sight?

It seems to have faint pink fur.

What a pretty cat.

An incredibly beautiful cat.

Of course I am.

Do you have a name? What should I call you?

Okay. Your name will be Avante Momoko.

Growl!

Growl!

Your taste in names sucks, meow!

Curse you!

Like it?

Hiss!

As if I would, meow!

You resemble a student of mine.

Meow?

She's a very brave, beautiful girl.

Wha? Saying that won't get you anywhere.

I haven't been able to reach her for a bit, so I'm worried.

I hope she hasn't gotten caught up in some kind of trouble.

You're right about the trouble.

I have a bad feeling. Guess I'll look around for a bit.

Prowling the school alone at night, huh?

What do I do if a ghost shows up?

Coward.

Oh, that reminds me. He said he was afraid of ghosts.

So much for him being the "king of the dead."

Heh heh heh

Sucks to be you.

Normally, you'd be in school at night with a beautiful girl,

and you could hold her hand or have her cling to you.

Snap

Snap

Snap

Snap

But today, there's no beautiful girl around to give you courage.

This cat's kind of scary.

EMF Reader!

Thermometer!

Spirit Box!

I'll use my ghost-detecting gear while I've got this opportunity.

He seems to be having fun. Wish I could join him in that.

This is the school for my precious students.

I need to keep it safe for them.

Can never be too careful.

Honestly.

You've started acting more like a teacher.

H-Holy wow. I'm in heaven.

Now I feel embarrassed about hopping up here.

Why is the school so creepy at night?

Meow.

Hmm? Why am I such a scaredy-cat?

I'm a little curious about that.

Back when I was a child,

my three bratty friends and I did a test of courage in a graveyard outside of town.

Well, nothing actually happened at the time,

but after we got home, Friend A got really sick.

Then, Friend B got sick as well.

And some time later, while I was asleep one night,

something appeared and strangled me.

It took the form of a ghostly-white woman.

Meow!

I called out, but by the time my parents raced in,

the white spirit had disappeared.

After that, the adults questioned Friend A,

and we learned he'd found a dried human finger in a grave

and taken it home with him.

That caused a big fuss among the adults,

and they summoned a priest from the town to conduct a major exorcism.

After that, both Friend A and Friend B got better,

and the white woman stopped showing up.

That was my first paranormal experience.

Chill

That was a pretty typical ghost story.

But I'll protect you.

My power is meant for conquering ghosts.

The former demon lord is stuck thinking small.

Let's take a little break.

Thanks for coming with me.

Hey! Don't just start touching me.

I still can't get through to Meteor on the phone.

My search spell's a bust, too.

But her bag and shoes are still here.

She hasn't wandered into a dimensional gate, has she?

Sigh

Honestly. You're such a worrywart.

I wonder where she's gone.

I'm...

Huh?

I'm, uh, right here.

Why?

Blush

An evil witch turned me into a cat.

Th-That must've been rough.

Awkward

Awkward

Good morning.

Yeah. Morning.

Yahoo!

Morning, Meteor.

There was a cat in school yesterday.

R-Really?

Maybe it was lost?

Grin

Hey, did you know? Cats have eight nipples on their bellies.

So they're four times as sensitive.

I wouldn't know!

Why are you so mad?

Quiet Place

Hey, bubble butt.

Like I said, it's Hanaori.

Which do you like more: Snow White or the Little Mermaid?

Huh? Princesses?

The Little Mermaid.

Got it.
