Hanaori-san Still Wants to Fight in the Next Life

The monster outbreak alarm.

Excuse me!

Sensei, I need the bathroom.

Me, too.

All right. Go on then.

Hey! No running in the halls!

Monsters have been showing up quite often lately.

Be careful, you two.

Episode 7

Seven

Lightning, strike down all who stand against me.

Come on out, ball of fire. Fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoom.

Fweeeee

Fweeeee

Fweeeee

Monster Extermination Complete

Good work.

Oz Calamity Forecaster Jogasaki Dorothy

Your skill is impressive.

Oz Debriefing

This time, we faced a hellhound.

Its category was Visitor.

Seems a monster from another world just waltzed right in again.

Honestly. What dimension are they all coming from?

We're still investigating that. Still...

It's clear this world is being exposed to threats from another dimension.

I'm so done. I can't keep this up.

I'm at my limit, too.

The frequency of monster attacks has been abnormally high lately.

Plus, I have some more targets for you two to keep an eye on.

What?

Are you serious?

The other day, we confirmed that Asahina is a magical girl.

It doesn't look like she's hostile to us, but she'll need monitoring.

Then there's the Returner, Takanashi.

She was hospitalized for her injuries,

but at her request, she's returning to school soon.

Seriously?

I'm glad.

We made her swear not to cause trouble, but she'll need monitoring, too.

Who knows how many dimensional gates Takanashi opened?

Or maybe someone else is still opening them?

There's that, but also...

Those two!

Your surveillance targets, Narukami Ryusei and Hanaori Meteor?

What about those two?

At Lunch One Day

Thanks for the other day.

You saved us.

I'm glad I made it in time.

Honestly. It was some experience.

H-Hanaori-san!

You're drinking Sensei's juice by mistake!

She realized?

Shudder

Blush

What kind of reaction is that?

Um...

What are you talking about?

Put Yourself in Our Shoes

They're in a rom-com! A rom-com!

Every day, it's a regular rom-com with our targets!

Seriously?

Imagine having to watch that every day.

Do you understand how we feel?

Compared to alien invasions and investigating magical girls,

dealing with rom-com shenanigans is the worst.

I enjoy it, though.

Huh?

What's going on?

New Look

Trying out a new look.

Those black ribbons look good on you.

They make you look like an evil minion.

Evil?

Well, shoot.

Hehehe

Hehehe

Why are you blushing about that?

An Animal-Like Woman

Gulp

Gulp

Nibble

Nibble

Gulp

Gulp

You're like an animal. It's cute.

PFFFFT

Are you okay?

Hey, which animal were you picturing?

Say it was a squirrel.

Is it important?

Very.

What are you getting at?

Rom-Com Space

Don't make me repeat myself.

Glare

It's their rom-com space.

Hey, Minto, I have a request.

What is it?

Dumb

Dumb

Could you cast a spell to give me beefy muscles?

What?

I've been wanting to get buff.

I'm totally lost.

Look. I borrowed a jersey from Sensei so I won't burst out of my clothes.

This is a jersey exchange moment?

Huh?

Yeah, she gets like this.

I've seen this in shojo manga.

You wear the jersey of the man you love and your heart starts racing.

That's not it! I just wanna be buff!

Oh, come on now.

You should be honest with yourself.

I mean it!

Race

Race

Race

Race

Oh, wait. That was about muscles, not their rom-com antics.

That story's scary enough already.

At any rate!

Mitsurugi Girls' High is a place where such extraordinary things are commonplace!

What? So it's a rom-com space?

I'm sorry.

OZ's most powerful witch apologized.

I'd like another slice of cheesecake.

One here, too.

The Maid's a Worrywart

So just to confirm, that's two cheesecakes, yes?

Hey, pretty girl. Has anything that belongs in a rom-com happened near you?

That's a pretty out-there question to ask out of the blue.

Well...

My older brother was a NEET, but a mysterious girl showed up in his room,

flirted with him, and he got his life together.

You're kidding.

No one's sold you a bridge, have they?

She was a ****, right?

Ahaha

It's totally true. It's like something out of a manga, right?

Main

Topic

I'll ask you one more time.

Are those two really what you say they are?

Yeah.

They both reincarnated from another world.

And I can see a future where they're involved in a major battle.

Her clairvoyance is telling her that?

Heroes that come back from other worlds always fail to re-acclimate to daily life,

and let their excessive power go out of control.

So far, three Returners have had that happen.

Kenzaki Yuya.

Jinguji Hokuto.

And Takanashi Ayame.

All of them are broken in some way.

But...

Those two feel different.

I know.

Let's continue to wait and see.

I want to believe in it, too.

That a hero can also appear in our world.

You make it sound like a nice story.

Quit acting so cool, sourpuss.

Glare

Glare

"Sourpuss" is going too far.

I'm sure there's something going on with them, too.

Like what?

Like the world will collapse if they break up?

Don't Clown On Rom-Coms

Don't clown on rom-coms.

Maybe the Earth will explode if they kiss?

Don't Clown On Rom-Coms

Please don't clown on rom-coms.

Rom-coms are a huge hassle, huh?

Don't clown on rom-coms.

Please don't clown on rom-coms.

These women love rom-coms way too much.

Again?

My cheesecake!

We're counting on you two.

I'll take care of the cake for you.

Screw you, Chief Sourpuss!

We're heading out!

My cheesecake!

An evil corporation that loves rom-coms?

Lightning Bolt!

Fire Ball!

Emotions Running Rampant

There are way too many monsters today.

I'm still sensing a lot of monsters.

HQ, hurry up with the next location.

Hey, those monsters dropped this ring.

Is this one of those "rare items"?

Why are you standing idly by like it's nothing?

That's a Ring of Darkness.

Also known as the Corrupter.

It worms its way into a person's mind and makes them act on their desires.

It's a cursed item.
