Elsa... Why?

I've heard that when you hang yourself,

the loss of life isn't always immediate...

If she's still alive, a healing spell could bring her back!

Father?

Elsa!

I'm so glad... truly...

Elsa, why did you do this?

I'd rather die than be a burden to you.

I'll repeat myself.

I'd rather die than be a burden to you, Father.

Elsa.

I need you to hear me.

My obligation to this household is not worth your life.

Is that not an irresponsible stance for the head of House Müller to take?

House Müller supports Second Prince Adonis.

I must not be taken as a hostage for the benefit of First Prince Louis.

Um...

Forgive my asking out of ignorance,

but couldn't you simply turn down the proposal?

The daughter of a regional lord

being appointed the prince's first concubine is unprecedented.

It should be seen as a tremendous honor.

To refuse without good reason

would be taken as an insult to the royal family.

I could not bear to live out my life as a hindrance to my family!

Father, please, let me go!

Elsa...

May I perhaps make a proposal?

Why not allow her to stay in his world for a while?

Hey, great idea!

Sasaki-dono's world?

Time flows differently between his world and this one.

Several years here is but a few months there.

Were she to disappear for two or three years,

your world would surely see great changes in her absence.

Of course, this is not without risk.

If something were to happen to us,

she would be forced to live out her life in a foreign land

with no one upon whom to rely.

Mr. Bird, Sasaki already explained to me that that would be impossible.

The situation has changed, has it not?

It's true. Peeps is right about that.

The reason was Futari Shizuka's involvement.

But as we've gotten to know one another,

I've learned that she's quite receptive to negotiation.

As long as I offer due compensation, I'm sure she'd be willing to hide her.

Thank you.

I don't care what happens to me as long as I'm not a hindrance to my father.

Please, take me to your world!

Elsa, you should take more time to consider this!

Father, this is a peerless opportunity for me.

Their world is far more advanced than ours.

If I return and apply the things I learn there,

I'm sure I can be of assistance to you!

Your Lordship.

We're all in this together.

I'm asking you to allow us to help you.

Very well.

If Sasaki and the Lord Starsage will have you,

then I will respect your wishes.

But you must swear on our family name that you will make no trouble for them.

I promise this, Father! I will keep my word!

Excellent.

Sheesh, what a monster!

Maybe the shotgun would work better?

What is it at this hour?

Forgive me.

My rash proposal has imposed on you greatly.

No, I think it's a good idea.

Futari Shizuka-san seems willing to play along too.

I am grateful.

We will have to increase her compensation, it seems.

I shall prepare the ingots forthwith.

Please, if you'd be so kind.

- Let's see. Maybe I should memorize some spell chants.

- Is this...?

W-Wait, stop! I didn't mean it! I didn't!

Have you heard the word?

Count Müller of the second prince's faction...

They say his eldest daughter is to be made the first prince's concubine.

Prince Louis has a wicked streak, doesn't he?

She should be on her way as we speak...

Elsa made up her mind, huh?

Yes.

Well, knowing her,

she'll tick off the prince and get sent straight back.

Well... I hope so.

An ambush?!

Bandits are attacking!

Guards, draw your swords!

Keep them away from Elsa!

Father! Elsa!

Brother?!

But how will we frame this for the outside world?

We'll use the same trick that Julius showed us before.

Me?

Stage a bandit attack and fake your daughter's death.

You may be censured for carelessness, but their grievance will end there.

However, it is critical that everyone around you believe it.

I leave the aftermath to you.

I will see to it.

Sasaki-dono, please look after her.

Scold her if she's selfish.

P-Please, Papa! I'm not going to be selfish!

In the other world, there are devices for recording images and voices.

The next time I visit,

I'll bring a recording of Lady Elsa in good health for you.

You mean this?

I truly do not have the words to thank you.

Elsa, never forget the promise you made me.

I won't. Be well in my absence, Father.

Now, shall we?

Yes!

Father, farewell for now!

Ah, you have arrived.

Thank you for making the preparations, Futari Shizuka-san.

We'll be in your debt.

You do like to make a girl work, don't you?

One night to ready a room for a months-long guest...

Futari Shizuka-san has agreed to facilitate your stay here.

Th-Thank you for having me!

She appreciates your hospitality.

My, my.

Ever the little lady, isn't she?

I'd love to hold a proper welcome party, but it's nearly time for us to go to work.

Peeps, can you stay with her?

Indeed, so I shall.

Everyone understands each other but me...

Allow me to be your interpreter during the day.

I have nothing better to do, as it were.

I'm very sorry to impose.

Do not let it concern you.

As we have time to kill, let me teach you of the internet!

"Inter-net"?

It is the ocean of all this world's knowledge.

Such a thing exists?!

The internet is a fabulous thing, yes.

Do you wish to learn of the internet?

I wish to learn... of the internet!

I'd like you to run an investigation on this school today.

A school, you say?

One of the boys killed in yesterday's incident

was a student at this high school.

Takayoshi-kun...

So he was a high schooler.

I want you to look into evidence of his psychic powers

and the presence of any other psychics there.

In moments like these, I feel like a true public servant.

To prevent confusion, your visit will be presented

as an inspection of the school's security measures.

I'll send the details to your phones, so be sure to check them.

Do you have any questions?

If I may...

Is Hoshizaki-san not involved in this investigation?

I would have thought her best suited to a job at a school.

Oh, about that...

This happens to be the school that Hoshizaki-kun attends.

Like the police, we prefer to avoid assignments

that would raise conflicts of interest.

We haven't told her about this either.

Be cautious in your investigation so she doesn't realize you're there.

Meet me in the courtyard at lunch. -Shindo

You found more dirt on Chief Akutsu?

I did.

Apparently, there'll be some reshuffling at the bureau soon.

The current vice director will be unceremoniously transferred.

Remember the bowling alley incident?

It was that same vice director who fell for the false lead

and dispatched agents to deal with it.

And the one who's taking over the seat...

Precisely.

He sets up a charade that costs the bureau dearly

and his superior gets deposed,

all while he gets a promotion.

I would advise you to approach your work with due caution.

Would it be all right if I have a look around the school?

Of course.

If you have any issues, let the nearest member of staff know.

I didn't get much sleep last night, thanks to someone...

Can I take a nap?

Just kidding, of course.

Looks like our girl's in class right now.

The subjunctive mood includes

the subjunctive past and subjunctive past perfect.

It also applies in the case of "if" statements or "with so-and-so."

With that in mind, let's look at the following examples...

I've been in love with you since I first met you.

"I have always loved you."

I feel the same way, Jake!

"As have I!"

Kelly...

"Kelly..."

Jake...

"Jake..."

That's what they're saying.

This... This is...

the internet?!

Try to find someone who knew the target during lunch break.

Understood.

I hear Takayoshi never made it home yesterday.

Wait, really?

Got a hit already!

Indeed. Try to get all their faces on camera.

Apparently his mom called...

Maybe he shacked up with that new girl of his?

He was bragging about her like crazy.

Yeah, could be!

His mom sounded worried as hell, though.

Yeah, true.

I've never heard of him not making it home before...

Good. Faces recorded.

Roger. I'll get going.

I sent the video to HQ.

They're looking the kids up.

Thank you.

I'll head out now.

Whoops, our girl's in view.

Nine o'clock.

Nine o'clock?

How can I help you, Shindo-senpai?

Sorry to call you out like this.

Wait, is this what I think it is?!

S-So, Hoshizaki...

You wanna go out with me?

I'm sorry. I can't.

Y-You got another guy in your life or something?

No.

Yeah, I figure!

No, but...

There is someone I've have taken a liking to.

You mean it?

Yes, I mean it.

I-Is it a student here?

No.

Wait, like... a teacher?

No.

But...

Someone similar, I suppose.

Y-You serious?

Goodbye.

H-Hey, wait!

Can we at least trade info?

If you ever want company...

I'm sorry, but I have more than enough company in my life already.

Can I go now?

S-Sure...

Ah, the scenes of youth!

A-Anyway, let's head back for now.

Did I mean nothing to you, Jake?!

"Was this all a game to you?!"

No! Please wait, Amanda!

"Not at all!"

I trusted you, Jake!

"Did you betray me?!"

Of course not, Betty!

"Nay!"

You've got it all wrong, Amanda!

"Nay!"

No!

"Nay!"

That is what they're saying.

This is... the internet?

That boy there?

Indeed.

The bureau found that,

unlike the other two, he'd known the deceased since grade school.

A sensible place to start, do you not agree?

Understood.

Um...

He could be a psychic. I need to be cautious.

Excuse me! Six o'clock!

Our girl is rounding the corner!

Damn!

We heard all about it!

You rejected Shindo-senpai? What gives?

What do you mean?

He asked to meet over lunch, and he asked me out.

There's nothing to explain.

I-It's your attitude that pisses me off so much!

You think you're so hot...

Can't you be a little more sensitive?

- We must call the police for bullying!

- This is why you don't have any friends!

- Don't even joke about that.

Is that all you came to say?

And you even told him you're sleeping around! What is wrong with you?

Poor Shindo-senpai!

I said no such thing.

And this teacher's pet get-up you're always pulling...

Seems like a put-on for Senpai, who likes smart girls.

We know that on the last test...

you totally failed!

Hoshizaki-senpai...

Maybe you shouldn't work so hard?

Failing tests when she dresses like that?

That does feel like fraud!

I don't see how that's any business of yours.

Th-Then why do you dress that way?

I bet you know Nami likes Shindo-senpai, and you're doing it to hurt her!

Why would I know anything about you three?

In fact...

Manami-san.

You clearly know a lot about Shindo-senpai,

and you're quite emotionally invested.

Is it possible that you like Shindo-senpai?

O-Of course not!

Forgive the implication, then.

I'll attempt to be more careful.

Goodbye.

And just because I don't want nasty rumors getting around...

I am a virgin.

H-Huh?!

H-Hey, what's with the sudden coming out?!

Please delete that right away.

I was kidding, of cour—

Futari Shizuka-san?

This is... Could it be?

It has to be.

The same phenomenon!
