Rewrite (リライト)

What a pleasant morning.

I guess this is all thanks to the shikigami army the president gave me.

I'm grateful, so grateful!

And now, we have a few words for you from each committee

regarding the Harvest Festa which begins next month.

Th-This is a notice from the Spread the Green Committee.

Leading up to the Harvest Festa, um...

W-We are recrewling helpers to place potted herbs around the city!

Uh, what is "recrewling" supposed to mean?

Er, um, this is volunteer work, so it doesn't pay!

Yosshi!

The Harvest Festa's gonna be a ball!

Don't talk to me.

It's the biggest, week-long event in Kazamatsuri, Yosshiino!

School's out for the duration!

I know!

Wanna go around with me, Yoshiino?

At least pick one stupid nickname and stick with it!

Lame.

A wolf would only waste away at a banquet set for herbivores.

He shot me down.

Still,

this year's Harvest Festa is shaping up to be lots of fun!

Episode 3: "Welcome, Supernatural Phenomena"

Better check the blog before class!

Good morning.

Y-Yeah, morning.

Now get out.

Oh, right.

I'll take my leave...

Wait, why?!

Who the heck are you?!

Oh, how unusual.

There are two boys here.

Hello, my fair lady.

How do you do?

I apologize for barging in unannounced.

What're you chilling for? Why weren't you at the morning assembly?

I just pulled an all-nighter on the battlefield.

So, what's with the uniform?

Oh, it seems Chihaya-san entered my profile on the order form for some reason.

She is still wearing her old uniform as a result.

I see.

So that's the story behind it.

By the way, who is he?

Oh, this man is Chihaya's—

Excuse me!

Ohtori?

Huh?

Why are you here, Sakuya?

Well, you forgot something important, so I came to deliver it to you.

Ah, my lunch box!

I forgot it?

Yay, thank you so much!

Hey, you.

Yes?

Who might you be?

My name is Tennouji Kotarou.

It's a pleasure.

I am Ohtori Sakuya.

So you're Ohtori's...

Big brother.

No, Sakuya is Sakuya.

You forgot the cover story, didn't you?

O-Oh, right...

Chihaya-san is a person of integrity. She cannot tell a lie.

Who is this guy, then?

I wait upon Chihaya-san hand and foot due to certain circumstances.

So you're like some sort of butler?

Close enough.

If I had to say, I am Chihaya-san's...

...knight!

Anyway, you're also an "Ohtori-san"?

Oh, things could get confusing if you had to call us both that.

Why not go with Chihaya and Sakuya?

Chihaya-san would never allow some lowlife to call her by name—

I don't mind, really.

I would expect no less of you.

You are incredibly benevolent, even to lowlifes.

Then, Chihaya—

You're acting awfully chummy with her.

Are you at the top of the leaderboards for world's rudest person?

You're like an open book.

Kotarou, classes are starting!

Why don't you hurry along? I'm going to catch a nap.

Act like you're going to class, even if you're only pretending!

My dark magic can turn an "absent" into a "present."

Of course.

The magic called authority, right?

Shall we, Chihaya?

Yeah. We'll be off!

Um, Tennouji Yotarou-kun, was it?

It's Kotarou, actually.

Personally, I hate you.

What the hell was with that butler guy?

And hey, does this mean Chihaya's some high-class girl?

She sure doesn't look it.

Okay, for this one... Konohana.

Yes.

Say, why does the class rep always wear gloves?

Shut up.

What do I care?

But rumor says

she's a hypochondriac who doesn't like touching things directly.

Wait.

If she really were a hypochondriac, I doubt she'd agree to be class rep.

You've got a point.

It doesn't seem like she avoids interacting with others.

Maybe she has some other reason for it?

Huh? What would that be?

Maybe her gloves are seals to hide her secret cursed powers!

Wh-What's with that?

You've experienced it yourself, haven't you?

K-Knock it off.

Don't say any more!

I'm not like the others.

I have secret cursed powers...

Stop it!

I-Inside of me...

Stop it, Tennouji!

The evil dragon awakens!

Quiet down, you two!

Here we go, guys!

It's the reborn occult club's first group activity!

These cookies are delicious!

Chi, you've got too much in your mouth.

I'll take this one!

Would you like more tea?

I would.

President.

Ohtori-san's butler or not, he's an outsider.

Surely he can't be allowed to freely enter the academy's premises?

It's fine.

My magic severs this club room from the academy's control.

What sort of logic—

By the way, I have prepared this as well.

Thank you.

You're way too easy, Class Rep!

Hey, why am I the only one left out while you all have tea?!

A tsuchinoko?

Yeah.

The submission to the blog says a bunch of people have spotted one on campus.

Is it tasty?

You're planning to eat it?!

A tsuchinoko is just a fat snake.

Depressingly realist!

It's not like I was particularly convinced that it was real, either.

But something tells me it wouldn't be so strange if a tsuchinoko did exist.

And in the event I prove that paranormal phenomena exist...

I can have my way with those boobs!

Kind sir, you have this wicked look in your eye.

A-Anyway, I would like to make this the occult club's first investigation!

Here, tsuchinoko...

Ack!

That cry just now!

And this supreme texture, both soft and perfectly firm.

Could it really be a tsuchinoko?!

Can we talk this over?

Tennouji Kotarou!

Nasty, nasty, nasty!

Filthy, filthy, filthy!

You giant pervert!

Let's get out of here, Shizuru!

Farewell, Kotarou.

Oh, found the tsuchinoko.

What? Capture it!

Damn! It just keeps moving!

Gotcha.

Chi-chan is awesome.

That's our Chihaya!

Not a lot of brain, but a whole lot of brawn!

You're totally insulting me, aren't you?

You're not getting away!

No way.

You really caught it?

Um, you're not from this school, are you?

I am a UMA hunter.

My name is Tsukuno.

You're a professional?

No, I actually work as a clerk.

I just really wanted the bounty for the tsuchinoko.

Furthermore, the reward will cover my vacation abroad, a brand name purse,

designer clothes, and some new boots from this winter's collection.

Kotarou-kun, this rumor was a total sham.

Oh, I need to be getting back to work.

Well then, my like-minded friends, do excuse me.

Good work.

You did well.

Looks like we achieved our goal.

Um, then...

1st Occult Research Club Activities Report

Tsuchinoko Sighted on Campus!?

Complete

Who'd have thought they'd have cutlet sandwiches left?

Lucky!

Shizuru's eating, too?

Come to think of it...

Let's eat lunch in the courtyard together.

Shizuru.

If you're about to have lunch, do you want to eat with me?
