Kuryuu Megumi.

2nd Year Class A, member of the Public Morals Committee.

She has a strict personality and is quite fastidious.

A second degree black belt in judo.

Her daily routine is to see that people obey the school rules at the front gate.

She currently has no boyfriend.

Good morning, Kuryuu-san.

Checking that people follow the rules again today?

I'm part of the Public Morals Committee, so of course.

I admire that you do this every morning.

But still...

Why are there so many people who can't follow the rules?

Rules exist to be followed.

Well, you do have a point,

but the reason is very simple.

Everyone wants to experience love.

Love. Romance.

Just having someone to like makes even your empty mornings feel great.

Haven't you ever experienced that?

No.

Foremost, a student's main priority should be to study.

We don't need romance.

How sad.

How could you not have experienced romance?

You're missing out on life you know.

I'm not!

I know.

Would you like to have a role in the independent movie our Movie Club is producing?

An independent movie?

Yes, it's a romance movie.

It's a love story that follows a young man suffering from love.

The highlight is-

What's with that weak story?

You can't be making that kind of movie!

Ah, well...

Good morning,

Hiiragi-san, Kuryuu-san.

Good morning, Shijou-san.

Geez...

Why is he in such a hurry?

He keeps talking about stupid things, so I gave him a stern warning.

Stupid things?

He said I'm missing out on life by not experiencing romance.

He really is such a weakling of a man.

In the first place, there's no way you can miss out on life just by-

He's right.

I've never experienced romance myself.

It must be weird, right?

T-That's not true!

Everyone is different.

It's not weird at all.

You think so?

I do! Of course I do!

I have to go to class now, so excuse me.

You're breaking the rules.

Really?

You are.

Your skirt length should be no more than 3cm above the knees.

Please have it fixed by tomorrow.

No way.

Come on, don't be so strict and just let this slide.

Isn't it cuter when it's shorter?

That doesn't matter.

Only perverted and weak men would be happy over short skirts.

That's not what I meant.

You know, wouldn't a girl like to dress up and look pretty?

You know how there are times when you want to look pretty for the person you like?

I don't.

I've never liked anyone before anyway.

Really?

It's a real shame since you're so cute, Kuryuu-san.

Once you dress up, you can have more confidence in yourself.

Wouldn't you feel happy if you were complimented?

You were born a girl,

so it'll be a waste if you don't experience some romance.

Is romance that important?

Oh? Kuryuu-san.

What are you doing here?

No, nothing really.

Are you going to practice now, Sakino-san?

Yeah, I have some time before class.

Hey, you practice judo, right?

Yeah, my family runs a dojo.

I was practicing this morning.

Moving your body around feels great, doesn't it?

That's right, I don't need to experience love when there are plenty of healthy ways to have fun.

T-They're pretty bold.

Geez, just what do they think school is for?

I'm going to warn them.

How nice...

N-Nothing! I'm going to practice now.

I told you I'd confiscate them the next time, didn't I?

We won't bring them again!

We'll put them deep into our bags right away!

We're sorry!

Fine.

I'm only going to let you go this one time.

Okay!

I guess romance doesn't have much to do with these girls.

That's right, I don't need to worry ove-

Well then!

Julietta, we must say our goodbyes for a short while.

Even if we're separated, my love for you will not change!

Iwao-sama! I would risk it all to continue loving you!

Oh! Julietta!

Iwao-sama!

H-Hey...

What are you doing?

It's the two lovers' farewell ceremony.

The more distance and obstacles there are between them, the more their love burns!

Julietta! Let us have another kiss!

Ah! Iwao-sama!

Even those girls...?

Am I the weird one?

Hey, Futami-san!

I'm sure I told you before, but your hair length is against the school rules!

Just what kind of problem would letting your hair down cause?

Rules are rules!

If everyone had their way, there'd be chaos!

That's why they should improve upon their own self-management.

I believe that meaningless rules should be abolished.

Wait!

I'm not done talking to you yet.

I won't let you get away so easily with your twisted logic.

Sorry, but I'm busy.

I have an experiment to conduct now.

Experiment?

Why do people fall in love with others?

It's an experiment concerning romance.

Kuryuu-san.

Ah, sorry.

Did I startle you?

N-No.

Is there a book you're looking for?

Ah, um...

If you want romance novels, there are some more in that corn-

It's okay!

It's nothing, I was just having a look!

See you later!

Everyone wants to experience love.

A-Are you okay?

You know, wouldn't a girl like to dress up and look pretty?

Maybe this is a bit childish.

Good morning.

Morning.

Sorry I'm late!

Ah, Kuryuu-san. It's unusual to see you coming at this time.

I'm sorry.

It took me a while to leave my house.

It's okay, you're usually early.

You don't need to keep watch at the gate every morning, either.

No, as the public morals officer, this is the natural thing for me to do.

Your elastic bands are different than usual, right, Kuryuu-san?

I thought I'd try to change it a bit.

Oh? Don't tell me, you've found someone you like?

That's not it.

Really?

Really!

It's so nice to be young.

You think about the person you like, and become so excited that you can't sleep.

Is that why you were late?

T-That's not i-

I know how it feels!

It happened to me too!

I would open the window and gaze upon the star-speckled sky,

and I would think "I wonder what he's doing now?"

I would then connect the stars in the shape of his face.

And beside his, I would then make my own.

And then, I would catch a cold from leaving the window open the whole time.

And when we go to school together the next day, we'd both sneeze.

"Oh? You were looking at the stars too?"

"H-How'd you know?"

And then your friend would see you and go,

"Huh? You two are acting strange."

"No, what are you saying?"

"Yeah, what are you saying? Wait, hold up!"

If...

All right, leave it to me!

If, for argument's sake, that I would happen to go out with a boy,

I guess he'd have to like sports and be manly.

Huh? Kuryuu-chan?

What are you doing?

N-Nothing really.

Isn't your face kind of red?

Do you have a fever or something?

I-It's not red.

Really?

It is red.

I said it's not red.

It is red! You probably have a cold.

I told you it's not red!

Watch out!

You all right?

Y-Yeah...

Kuryuu, you...

You're a lot heavier than you look.

Kuryuu-san!

Are you okay?

Sorry for being heavier than I look!

Are you okay, Aihara-kun?

He's the worst!

No matter how much he may like sports, I don't want a guy with zero delicacy!

And I'll pass on stupid guys too!

Sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

He's so tall...

He might even be taller than the students in our dojo.

Kai-kun!

Mizusawa?

Going to leave now?

Yeah.

A senior?

An older guy, huh?

Yeah, an older guy is calmer and might be more reliable.

Good luck with your practice then.

Thanks.

Practice?

Crap.

What's he going to practice out here?

Wait, why am I following him?

I'm like a stalker!

Sneaking around like this isn't good.

That's not for me.

I'm kind of tired.

Is romance such a hassle?

Well, I haven't gotten that far yet.

I was just curious about it too.

Maybe romance isn't a good fit for me.

What's that?

Heroine, The Millionth...

That's...

Is this yours?

It fell here.

Yeah, probably.

I dropped it earlier.

You shouldn't be bringing these things to school.

It'd be a problem if you lost it, right?

Yeah.

Thanks, you're a life saver.

I-It was nothing.

I just happened to find it anyway.

That's a romance movie, right?

Ah, yeah.

Do you like them?

I guess so.

What about you?

What kind of movies do you watch?

I like action movies, I guess.

I don't really like romance movies.

I like them too!

Action movies.

I watch a lot of Kung Fu ones.

Really?

Yeah, you know, the one where they fight in caves.

Shaolin Dragon!

Yeah, that's it!

That scene was really great, huh?

There were so many people too!

Yeah, yeah, the number of them was amazing, yet the scenes all fit well.

Yeah, yeah! It was just amazing!

Oh yeah, I like that part too,

where he leaves his master.

It's a bit embarrassing, but I cried a bit.

Me too.

I cried too.

Oh, you too?

That scene was really good, huh?

Yeah...

Your elastic bands are different than usual.

This is, well...

Sorry, I just thought it was unusual.

Is he being considerate?

He's a bit unreliable, but he notices the small things.

Sanada-kun.

Were you two talking?

No, we were just having a small chat.

See you.

Sorry.

No, it's okay.

So, what is it?

Well, you see, about the movie we talked about before...

Ah, well, about that...

I can go anytime.

I was really happy that you even invited me.

Hoshino-san...

Actually-

Ah, anytime is good, though.

You're probably busy writing the scenario for the Movie Club.

N-No, not really.

You're helping out too.

You're a real big help.

No, I didn't do much...

So, about the movie...

We've got to think about the story.

Ah, yeah, you're right.

I tried looking for some books to read.

Did you find anything good?

No, it's pretty hard.

Yeah.

Ah, so about the movie, ah, not the Movie Club one...

Yeah, don't worry about it.

We can go anytime.

Ah, no, um...

He already bought the tickets!

K-Kuryuu-san?

Here you go.

T-Thank you...

See you.

That was so frustrating.

Men who aren't clear are the worst!

Romance is unnecessary after all!

Kuryuu-san is?

Yeah, she's acting different than usual.

How so?

Well, I'm not sure.

She didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Yeah, she was kind of strange.

Kind of like she had a cold.

She wasn't like that yesterday.

Right, Naru-chan?

Yeah, she let Julietta go too.

She seemed to be in a good mood.

In a good mood? Now that's weird.

You think so?

I see.

This is quite unexpected.

What is?

Basically, Kuryuu-san is now...

trying to be a normal girl.

Kuryuu-san.

Good morning.

Is something wrong?

Do you think I can even experience romance?

Why do you ask?

It just kind of feels that way.

I have a fiancé my parents selected for me.

I've never met him once, either.

So, I've never experienced romance before.

But, I believe that I may experience my own kind of romance some day.

Your own kind of romance?

But still, I have no idea how it'll feel.

Good morning, Shijou-san.

Good morning, Hiiragi-san.

Morning to you too, Kuryuu-san.

So how is it? Do you think you can experience some wonderful romance?

Ah, that felt great!

Thanks, Shijou-san.

Ah, no problem.

I guess I should be somewhat grateful to you, Hiiragi-kun.

You're welcome.

That's right, I'm me!

I just need to go at my own pace.

You there! What's with your hair?

Are you even sane?

You can't go to school like that!

Are you okay, Hiiragi-san?

What are you thinking?

Your entire existence is against the rules!

Name and class!?

Kuryuu Megumi.

It seems like she won't be experiencing love for a while.
