Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism (Armed Girl's Machiavellism / 武装少女マキャヴェリズム)

Man has four beginnings.

Benevolence, honesty, courtesy, and wisdom.

With sincerity, you have the five Confucian virtues.

We protect these virtues.

We are the blades who lead the way to coexistence.

So this'll be my new stomping ground.

Hope I can spend my time here peacefully for once.

I see you're all here.

Oui, you are the last to join us?

Sooo, something weird?

Aye, there's a face we don't see often.

Someone in need of punishment? I'm disappointed.

Is that all you've gathered us here for?

No.

I have called this meeting of the Supreme Five Swords to discuss one matter of importance.

An enemy has entered our grounds. In other words,

we must discuss how we will deal with this transfer student.

The hell is this place?!

All the girls're armed to the teeth!

He's basically the same as all the others.

He was expelled from his previous school after causing a brawl.

But his was on a much larger scale than usual.

More than forty people were seriously injured.

There's no information on what weapons he is skilled with,

but without a doubt, he is trained in some kind of martial art.

However, I heard that he was the worst injured of all the victims,

and was only recently released from the hospital.

If he did all that with his bare hands, that'd make him quite a threat.

But regardless, he's not our enemy, right?

Hey, Warabi-chan! Lemme pet him again!

Step back! Your ways of loving animals is much too self-serving!

Aww...

Hey! Pay attention to me!

Huh? I'm listening.

His name's, uh... Nohmura?

It's Nomura.

Say it with the accent on the first syllable.

He'll love it.

Hey, you!

A cross-dressing dude?!

This isn't crossdressing! It's makeup!

In any case, you must be new here.

What's that look for?

Nah, just never knew this school had its own giant Buddha statue.

We do have one, in the auditorium, gosh!

One that looks a lot better than this, okay?!

Right then, Mister Buddha.

It's Masukodera!

There a lotta piggies like you runnin' around here?

That nickname's even worse!

Masukodera! Kusuo Masukodera!

Alright then, Masuko!

All the guys here are like this.

Are you kidding me?!

I'm not.

Huh, weird school,

but as long as I'm free to do what I want, couldn't bother me.

Free to do what you want, huh.

Well, if you do what the rest of us are doing, then you'll be granted the smallest bit of freedom here.

What's that supposed to mean?

And I'm not into dressin' up like that.

In either case, you'd better keep your head down.

C'mon, now.

I'm a guy who loves freedom and quiet more than anything.

I'm done with all that crap.

My. It's a rare occasion for you to be gracing us with your presence, Empress.

What do you want?

What? I heard the name of an interesting man being brought up, so I came to warn you.

Could you please refrain from acting as if you are above us?

I'd rather die than feel this level of disgust.

From what she's saying, it sounds like she's fought with this Nomura before.

That's correct.

Huh...

so you're gonna do it then, Kirukiru-chan?

No. That man will be joining my class.

I will be the one to do it.

I'll correct him,

and his holier-than-thou attitude!

Well, be careful of his "spirit bullets".

Move out!

This'll be an entertaining homeroom.

Thanks, I'm out!

Excuse me, could you wait just a few more moments?

Nah, don't worry about it, I'm just gonna get there a little early.

Wh-what?

As you look up to the brilliant blue sky

Your gaze is so powerful it makes me gasp

It was shocking blue, and even if it was just for show

If you're decided you're not running away it'll be the real thing one day

Even if your dreams are only dreams right now

Nobody, nobody, nobody can stop you

If they hold you back, once you break free

Nobody can say anything about you again

Freedom is won by the strength of your heart

Destroy the fear you once felt and press on towards tomorrow

Th-the hell is goin' on here?!

I am Rin Onigawara, one of the Supreme Five Swords,

and I am here to correct your behavior!

Hold up, hold up!

What? Why's this happening all of a sudden?

Correct me?

Like my teeth? Little late for that.

Seems you're not aware of your place in this school.

How the hell am I supposed to know?

I've got no idea why you all got weapons, or why the guys're wearin' makeup,

or what these Supreme Five swords are!

Wait, you seriously don't know anything?!

The Supreme Five Swords are the five girls led by Rin who control the school!

Aichi Coexistence Private Academy used to be an all-girls school!

But when it became a co-ed school, the girls were scared of the boys,

so they started arming them like a vigilante group.

That custom has continued ever since,

and five of those girls were given permission to carry swords.

Their actions and successes led to the school becoming a place where delinquents were sent for reform.

Long story short, problem students that couldn't coexist in other schools

are brought here to be corrected in the name of coexistence!

That is why the Supreme Five Swords stand atop all the armed girls here!

Get it?

It is standard for the Five Swords to correct a transfer student like you.

It's nothing surprising.

Do you finally get what I was saying this morning?

There's only one way to survive here.

Throw away your dignity as a man and live as a woman.

Just like the rest of us "girls."

I get it.

They gave away their upper and lower fangs.

Seems like even an idiot like you can understand the situation.

Hold up, hold up.

I get it, sure, but look, I'm unarmed.

You're sayin' you're still gonna come at me with a bunch of weapons?

Don't worry, I'm the only one who will be correcting you.

Or are you trying to say that you would have been able to take all of us if you were armed?

Well, be careful of his "spirit bullets".

If you would like a weapon, I will have one procured for you.

Fine, get me a megaphone.

I'll shout for help real loud.

Guess this is what they mean by a dog whose bark is worse than its bite.

Go ahead, insult me all you want.

To think I'd worried what he would be like...

what a waste of my time.

I don't feel like fighting someone who has no intention of baring his teeth.

You have two options: coexist with the rest of us, or leave this school.

Pick one.

I've already got my answer for you.

Looks like everything will end quietly, without any bloodshed.

Hell no.

I'm free to do what I want, right? So I'm sayin' no to both.

You do know what this means, right?

I'm a Japanese guy who knows how to say "no".

So you have no intention of coexisting. Well, then...

It'd be easy to get outta here, but that'd be boring.

And I won't get a chance to get in if I miss out on this, right?

We're all here, might as well have some fun.

So you finally show your fangs.

But how exactly will you choose both options?

Dunno.

Because you cannot!

Before homeroom is over.

Before the bell rings, I, Rin Onigawara will correct your behavior!

Okay, then...

'Scuse me.

Was that glance to fake us out?!
