Argh, Haruaki!

What the hell?!

"You seem fit, so dancing should be easy."

Ugh!

I can't believe I have to do this!

Damn it, Haruaki!

What's up?

I bet she's making some pretty interesting poses right about now.

Pretty weird, having seen how well she can move in battle.

I kind of regret not leaving a camera behind to record it.

Could it be...

...him again?

That thing that moves up and down on its web with those legs

and wraps its prey around in it?

What the?

Fear!

Ha... Haru—

A... Ah!

I'll curse you!

You'll only make it tighter if you move like that.

Mode: Chaotic Tadamori.

What are you doing?

I've captured someone suspicious,

so now I'm interrogating her.

You're the suspicious one!

Unfortunately, she's not someone suspicious.

She's our new roommate.

Aren't you forgetting something?

Oh, you're right.

It's been a while, Haru, Kono-san.

I'm home.

Welcome back, Kuroe.

sasayaku kaze no ne no shirabe

The melody of the whispering winds

shigure no kokoro wo sarai sugu

Carries my rainy heart away

sukashita konpeki no sora wa

The translucent, azure skies

kikyouiro ni kawaru no

Change to match the blue of bellflowers

utsurou maboroshi wa kakuen to shite izu

The wavering illusion appears with a crimson glare

yorisoeru tsuioku to tomo ni megurase

And spreads around with recollections I hold dear

kasaneta tomohishi no omoi wa

The accumulated memories act as lamps

tadori kita michi no shirube

Marking the path I followed here

ikusobaku no kotonoha yori mo hitotsu no shirushi

A single insignia is greater than countless words

kakedasu ashioto wa haruka tokoshie no tooto he

My running footsteps turn into an eternal, distant sound

matotta rasen no chikai wo kono ryoute de kizamikonde yuku

I'll continue carving the spiral pledge clad around me with my own two hands

Chapter 9

Something Eccentric About She who Returned

I am Ningyouhara Kuroe.

Though I may be a buburden to you,

I hope our relationship lasts a lifetime.

That's what you say when you're about to get married.

Also, you didn't need that second "bu."

I didn't?

So, you're Kuroe?

I think I've heard of you before.

As my name says, I am a Japanese doll.

I also gave myself this name because it sounds as beautiful as a painting.

You think?

Well, at any rate,

you should introduce yourself, too, Fear.

Fear.

Fear Kubrick.

Is that it?

Does she dislike me, Haru?

Why wouldn't I?!

Don't you remember what you did to me?!

If you're that upset, then I must do this.

Wh... What are you doing?

Expressing my apologies.

Do whatever you want to my body.

Should I strip?

No, don't!

He-Hey, Kuroe.

You've been traveling by yourself, right?

That's right.

Weren't you worried at all?

Like, if you should be getting out of the house at all.

Oh, I'm fine.

I'm not cursed anymore.

I... I knew it!

Yes.

I won't be able to drain my owner's energy to death anymore.

I see.

So your curse really is gone.

How many times have I told you that?

Don't tell me you didn't trust us?

Oh, no, it's just...

I finally feel that it's actually possible.

But hey, it seems our powers don't actually go away!

They're helpful.

You'll stay a tool, but your curse will be lifted.

That's right.

Anyway, Haru,

are you hurt?

Oh, I scratched myself with a knife.

Let me see.

All right.

Reverse

Mode: Satisfied.

Heal

Heal

Yorimori!

Whoa!

It glowed!

It's a reverse application of energy.

In this case, it speeds up healing.

What was that spell incantation thing?

Cool, huh?

I'm not really the silent type,

so I thought of my own spell names.

I'm back because of a few reasons.

I should probably open my shop up again, and...

And?

Someone is after me.

Good evening, Ningyouhara Kuroe-sama.

Please refer to me as Alice.

Hey, Kuroe!

Who is that?

Some weird fellows have been pursuing me lately.

We're known as the Bibolio Families.

These people are always so polite.

They try to kidnap me in the politest way possible.

I truly wish to avoid any act of violence, but...

Wait!

What are you going to do?

Well, the Families are much like you.

What did you say?

I only want to invite Kuroe-sama.

I just want to have dinner,

drink tea,

and chat with her.

Just like what you're doing.

What's that?

19th Mechanism.

Drilling Helix Form: Man-Perforator.

Oh!

Oh my.

I do recall hearing of this.

How surprising.

How lucky!

Now, what shall I do?

The heck are you saying?

I understand.

I'll give up on inviting Kuroe-sama.

That was a quick change of heart!

That's great.

We can't trust her.

No, no.

Truly! I promise.

In return, Fear-in-Cube-sama.

Will you come to the Families' home?

Tough luck!

Get lost!

I see.

It seems we have another misunderstanding about us.

For today, I shall leave.

O' great Fear-in-Cube-sama,

I will invite you again.

For now, good night.

Don't show your face here again!

Sorry for causing you all trouble,

Haru, Kono-san, and Ficchi.

Do-Don't worry—

Hey, wait!

Was that weird nickname mine ?

You'd better change it!

If you insist.

Which name would you like?

Well, let's see...

One that's more noble, more graceful, and models the humble beauty that I am.

Yeah, yeah.

Are you serious?

Himura-sensei.

Here's the key to the unused classroom.

Drop the formal tone.

Just tell me the truth.

Yes.

Though all I did was unlock the trunk.

Why?

Why ?

We lab members thirst for knowledge.

You know that, don't you, partner ?

You're a member of the Laboratory Kingdom,

and my partner in crime.

That will never change.

Shut that mouth of yours and get off me.

You'll die if you don't.

Guess I fooled around too much.

I can guarantee, though,

that you'll never have a normal love life.

That's right.

Even that guy you crush on will never be able to love you back.

Absurd.

Hey!

Wanna get cut?

Er, well...

Sorry!

You there!

You look like you wanna be cut up.

It won't hurt, I swear—

Hey! What the heck!

I'll curse you!

You're doing more damage than help!

If Kuroe's store doesn't do well,

Dannoura Beauty Parlor is reopening tomorrow!

it affects our finances!

Please stop by!

Oh, hell no.

What's wrong?

Cow Tits is more popular!

The way you phrased it, they'll never know what would be cut off.

Handing these flyers out is fine,

Pamphlet: Ningyouhara Kuroe's Beauty Parlor in Dannoura OPENING SOON!!

but will it actually bring customers?

Kuroe is known as an amazing hair stylist.

She had a lot of paying customers.

Paying customers?!

So Kuroe's place was popular and it was helping people?!

Her talent may have been why she got rid of her curse so quickly.

Her talent?

Just go at your own pace.

Handing out flyers is not only helping us, but Kuroe, too.

H-Hmph!

I already knew that!

Bring it on!

I can hand out another hundred or two hundred flyers!

Oh! Kirika!

Take one!

A beauty parlor?

Yeah, if you'd like—

I'll go if I feel like it.

Prez didn't seem like herself.

I know!

Something Eccentric About\h\hShe who Returned

Hey, Prez.

You said you wanted ads...

...for the sports festival pamphlet during homeroom, right?

I did.

The deadline was last weekend.

Eh?!

I heard they had some leftover space, though.

Maybe we can slip your ad in.

But in order to do that,

I'll need to implore the department.

Please, Prez!

In return, I can...

Uh...

Oh, I know!

I'll help you with your work!

With anything you need doing!

That reminds me,

I was told I was allowed to make an...

..."Executive Committee Member's Assistant."

Yeah, yeah.

I can totally do that.

So, do we have a deal?

That means I can't be looking after you for a while.

Be sure to behave.

I... I'll be totally fine without you around!

You'd better help out Kirika!

Beauty Parlor

Dannoura

Beauty

Parlor

Yep.

My beloved shop hasn't changed one bit.

Ku-Kuroe-chan!

You've come back!

I'm back, Yaomichi-san.

What was that?

Kuroe-chan's back?

I'm back, Uomasa-san.

Beauty Parlor Dannoura

Yo!

I'm considering reopening the shop tomorrow.

It's nice to be back.

Beauty Parlor Dannoura

Beauty Parlor Dannoura

Hey hey hey.

Yaomichi, my man!

This ain't the time to be sitting around!

You betcha!

Our idol, Kuroe-chan, is opening shop again?

C'mon, bro. You know I can't sit still after hearing that!

Let's do this!

Taishuu High School

Sports Festival

Yeah! Good job!

Hm?

Is that Fear-kun and Kana?

All right! Great!

Take your right hand, one, two!

Now your left, and one...!

No, no. Not like that.

You have to keep your legs still.

It jumps on its own!

Stupid left leg!

This freakin' left leg!

Oh, yeah, Prez.

Why didn't you give dancing a shot, since you're fit, too?

You really think I could? During the performance...

...you wear a dance uniform.

Oh.

Sorry.

I completely forgot...

Anyway,

I'm sorry.

You forgot...?

Absurd.

Let's move!

The president can't slack off!

Move, Yachi.

Yes, ma'am!

But why are you talking like a Spartan now?

Thank you, Yachi.

Did you say something, Prez?

Nope.

Nothing.

Crud.

I can't pass out flyers or dance at all.

Is it because I'm a tool?

Can't be! Cow Tits can dance, too!

It's just that I haven't practiced enough.

I have to get my game on!

Yeah, that's it!

I can't lose to Cow Tits!

I'll pass out a billion flyers!

I dunno how I can help once the store is open,

but I just gotta do something!

Just bring customers and help whenever possible.

Wh-Wh-What the?!

The best way to become friends...

...is to spend some quality time together.

So, I thought, what better an opportunity?

Splash!

This girl...

It's cramped!

And your hair's creepy as hell!

You can never get sick of a bath.

I'm... getting kinda...

...sleepy...

You're gonna sleep?!

She's lifted of her curse, right?

What makes her so different?

Nothing, really...

Oh! I know!

I can't give up before checking the most important part...

Uhh...

Where's my cell phone?

Did I leave it in my pocket?

Hey, Fear.

I'm coming in for a sec.

Kuroe?

Ah, it feels so good.

Harder...

Like this?

Yes.

Keep going.

Yes, right there.

Scratch it.

Like this?

Ahh...

This is so much better than doing it myself.

Your fingers are amazing, Ficchi.

I'm already at my limit.

Let's finish together, then.

"Splash"?!

Seriously, your hair isn't different from mine,

aside from the fact that it moves.

Thank you for washing it.

Huh?

Wh-Wh-What are you doing, you pervert?!

I'll curse you!

You could've joined us if you wanted.

N-No...

It's not like—

Ko-Konoha...

Th-There's a r-reason for this!

Time for a family discussion.

Beauty Parlor Dannoura-sama

Congratulations on your Renewal Opening

Commercial District

This is our newest bento!

Eat up!

Here's a sea bream.

Where do I put it?

You'll do more with these towels than I will!

Use 'em well!

I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!

Kuroe-chan!

Good to see you, Nakajima-san.

An embarrassment as the Kuroe-chan fan club president!

Here are some assorted batteries as a celebration of your reopening.

Oh!

That's right!

Okay!

I got my security camera on a 24-hour Kuroe-chan shift!

Thank you!

Okay, we're finally here...!

I've brought celebratory gifts from the superintendent.

Please, do accept them.

Why does the superintendent know about this?

I contacted him.

You did?! When did—

Shiraho?

I'm just tagging along.

Goodness.

That man's only talent is being a bother.

Um,

pleased to meet you.

I'm Sovereignty.

I'm the superintendent's assistant secretary-in-training.

I'm Ningyouhara Kuroe...

Friend!

Here's one last thing from him.

He says it'll help bring in customers.

Oh.

Thank you.

What the hell is he thinking?

Oh, I almost forgot.

Here are my personal supplies.

Now, let's put them on!

Huh?

What the?

Stop, Zenon!

She would never—

Understood!

Please come with us, Fear-sama!

Eh?

Whatcha think?

Maids don't puff out their chests.

The button... didn't really... fit around my chest...

Wai—

Konoha?

That's going a bit too far...

I... I know, right?

What's with that reaction?!

Okay.

Let's try this, then.

Um...

Is this better?

Er...

I think it, well...

...suits you.

I think it looks great.

I can't lost to Cow Tits' cosplaying!

If Konoha-sama's theme is a flood of excessive beauty,

then Fear-sama's is a balance of unbalanced elements.

You're both really cute!

So now we'll have a flyer race, right?

Um, excuse me...?

Did you say, "race"?

I won't lose to you!

Ready...

Is... Is the store open?

Or am I early?

No, you're fine.

Welcome!

Beauty Parlor

Dannoura

Shiraho! Shiraho!

I passed out a lot of flyers!

It was a lot of fun!

Sounds like it.

But now...

...we're done here.

Let's go.

Ah, but!

The secretary's long gone.

You've had enough.

Do you have to run errands or something?

We're going on a date.

Get in the way and die, human.

Have fun...

Tell Kuroe-chan I'd like to see her again!

You don't know what fear is, do you?

Huh?

Wait, Fear?!

You didn't...!

No pa-pa-pa...

My, oh my.

Seems business is booming.

All done.

Oh my, did I fall asleep?

I'm so sorry.

It felt nice, since I haven't cut my hair in such a long time.

It's beautiful!

Thank you, Kuroe-sama.

You're welcome.

Could you man the register, Haru?

Keep the change.

I'm just celebrating your reopening.

Well,

I can't have you just do that...

Is that so?

All right, then.

Oh, I remember.

It'd be a bother to cause a misunderstanding,

so allow me to clarify.

I'm the culprit.
