(top) From the beginning
There was an ancient ministry inside the government that recruited
from the excluded, the circle of the second class, the founders of the police.
The city elders urged the police to go to the forest,
and raze the camp of the persistent bandits,
quickly demonstrating the power of the old lord.
The police evicted the bandits, and secured the outskirts of the city.
The ministry rewarded them, but informed them of the misfortune
that a boy had returned to the city by foot carrying a disease
that spread by talking.
The unit understood, and called for assistance from the hospital,
to fight the spread of the epidemic.
The epicenter was a schoolteacher.
The unit took a physician to his home for treatment.
The unit took the boy to a quarantine, and covered his mouth.
The city elders called for all available medics to organize a broad screening,
to halt the epidemic. The physicians' treatment succeeded ...
The year 1997
Another right turn -- the Pagoda
"Pupil A" -- Somehow, he evaded the infection that was transmitted here
by talking.
"Pupil B" Since he transfered from another school,
he has few friends with whom to study, so he focuses on crafts ...
Pupil A advanced without difficulty,
as someone that boisterously sold his skills as student.
He knew how to collaborate ...
Pupil C had his highs and lows in the course of his studies.
His shoes endured the entirety of the operation with a tolerant attitude.
Pupil B was nervous that he would be made fun of.
Pupil C lived in the shopping district.
Preppy student says, "It is full of sculptures ..."
Pupils say, "......?"
Preppy student says, "It is a mad jumble of bunting that descends ..."
Pupil A says, "Does the pagoda's insignia have any significance?"
Preppy student says, "If we have insufficient members, we can postpone this ..."
Pupil B says, "This is Tokyo, wimp. We enter to steal the contents, dolt,
and we shall barge in there!"
Pupil C says, "The roof displays the name of the builder in a logo!!"
Preppy student says, "...... Before we enter,
it would be suitable to review our status. Those people live in the underworld"
Pupil C says, "Uwaaaaaa!! I've been shot in the arm ... I am ..."
Preppy student says, "The household guard has struck"
Pupil B says, "Gyaaaaaa!! My ear was hit by shrapnel.
My ear was hit by shraaaapnel"
Preppy student says, "Come out and show yourself, guard ...
That was a strong sucker punch"
Pupil A says, "Striiikes!!"
Pupil C says, "Gulp ... Wow ..."
B says, "It hurts... it hurts, yo ..."
A says, "It is a slingshot"
B says, "Slingshot"
A says, "Ukyaaaaaa!!"
Preppy student says, "Come out and show yourself, guard ...
Before you show us an even mightier shot. A curveball.
That would be uncivilized"

Turning Toward Service
Seeking Talent in Mysticism ......
The year 1998
Another right turn -- the Academy
Academy of Mysticism 3, Class C
Female student says, "Did you write the essay?
Today, a new transfer student joins the class.
The two of them will enter the room together.
According to the staff,
the principal had a private conversation with Teacher Maria,
accompanied by a detective!? The reason is the past of the new boy.
Ah, she missed the opening bell ... Rise. Bow. Claim your seat"
Female teacher says, "Good morning, everybody"
Students say, "Good morning, Miss Maria"
Maria says, "Good morning. I wonder if everyone is present.
An additional pupil also comes here, but he took the long way to class.
He enters this homeroom in front of you.
He shall be a pupil of this Academy of Mysticism henceforth.
Together we shall reinforce the study of our transfer student.
My introduction is settled. In that view, introduce yourself to everyone.
Take the chalk, and write your given name on the blackboard"

Is this the proposal? (left) Yes (right) No
Maria says, "Hiyuu, due to the circumstances of the campus,
a month ago, the place drew a party of trespassers that uncovered it
temporarily ... They mostly failed to scout the place,
due to the vigilance of the night guard, and nothing was taken.
We are all gifted, Hiyuu, and I teach craft"
Female student asks Hiyuu, "At your previous school,
how did they say 'mysticism?'"
Nickname Clawing mischievously
Is this the proposal? (left) Yes (right) No
Female student says, "No kidding, clawing mischievously?
Hey hey, Hiyuu. Whereabouts do you reside, recently?"
Location of Origin Metropolis of Tokyo
Is this the proposal? (left) Yes (right) No
Female student says, "Next we shall discuss personal information, too!!
A difficult one: blood type, birth month, and birthday. For your horoscope"
(left) month (middle) birth day (right) blood type
Female student says, "Classmate, your affinity is vitality.
As of this month, you are midway through your tour of duty
at King Orchid High School. You shall clash with females,
but you must press on with your sequence of classes.
All right now, we have sketched the root. You may ask me questions, too!!
I am also interested in me, too!! Do you want to eat a hot lunch with me?
Do you like my type of girl, too? Do you have a sister, too?
Which sports do you like to watch, or compete in?
Hey ... hey, everyone is waiting for your answers"
Maria says, "Hiyuu is hard-pressed in laying out his personal information.
Don't ask any more questions for his information"
Female student says, "Yes to that"
Maria says, "I am sorry for the inquisition, Hiyuu.
Everyone, the transfer student must make himself at home
without your intervention. So, everyone, let's collect attendance together
so that we can continue the class.
Hiyuu, that view from your seat ... you view our home.
I suppose ... that the window shows the lovely countryside,
as well as the tranquil repose of the adjacent open window.
Due to the window's vista, the proctor of the class must instruct engagingly,
and engender questions along the way.
Please ignore the window's vista, all right?
In that view, we begin homeroom instruction.
The topic for today concerns the remodeling of the former school building ...
Academy 3 - Class C, Recess period
Misato says, "Hiyuu. Hello. A little while ago,
you were given a direct introduction upon entering homeroom.
Now that task is settled. I, Misato, work as a musician
at milestone events. Misato earns money for her family
by playing instruments. I play the flute. Please tell me how you feel"
(left panel) (top) Concerned (left) Annoyed (right) Sober (bottom) Melancholy
(right panel) (top) Affection (left) Bubbly (right) Friendly (bottom) Rapport
Misato says, "I see; you don't want my condolence.
Earlier, your demeanor meant business as you informed,
even though it was roundabout ...
you have such a demeanor because you are from uptown. Speaking of that ..."
Female student says, "There is a dust devil!!"
Misato says, "Her"
Female student says, "She is difficult"
Misato says, "Komaki"
Komaki says, "Give me the root of the mallow too, so that I can sketch it.
Immediately, they pick up the transfer student, and fawn on him"
Misato says, "An estate?"
Komaki says, "Yes, indeed.
The night guard of the class president's estate reported that it was also raided
and scouted"
Misato says, "---!!"
Komaki says, "Grudgingly, the student council investigated who targeted
the class president. There was a suave man named Nai Midori
that came to know the class president, but he was different.
He was a little more--"
Misato says, "No more so than Komaki"
Komaki says, "Difficult. Pushy. Transfer student, you begin to look earnest.
I am called 'as tart as a bowl of cherries.' A deep bowl of floral cherries.
In which the little berries still contain pits.
The captain of the archery team is coming here.
In the past year, he has been friendly with us"
(left panel) (top) Concerned (left) Annoyed (right) Sober (bottom) Melancholy
(right panel) (top) Affection (left) Bubbly (right) Friendly (bottom) Rapport
Komaki says, "That is his demeanor toward us, for some reason.
Do my voice and demeanor express straightforward patience?"
Misato says to Ko Maki, "Surely, Hiyuu's studies have not yet adjusted
to our curriculum, so he is strained by encounters with classmates.
It is lamentable that so much responsibility has not yet been settled ..."
Komaki says, "... I have news. The mallow has a different texture ...
yours too!! This time, the color of the mallow
looks like an acceptable type ...
His demeanor is different ... the style of an uptown resident.
Moving on from the mallow"
Misato says, "Ah ..., Komaki"
Komaki says, "See you later, big sister and transfer student"
Male student says, "Ah! Hello! There is such excitement in hall,
due to the news of a transfer admission. Yo, transfer student.
I come from a temple made of wormwood. My name is Kiyou Ichi"
Kyouichi says, "This gear is a sword case that I bring,
as captain of the team. Well, since we are classmates, we should be acquainted,
and we can even be teammates"

Kyouichi says, "Hey hey, what do you think of me?
So, your demeanor is to sulk. Come on, dude, let's acquaint ourselves,
and become sparring partners. Engage with me.
I shall advise you along the way of your journey ...
You are quite conspicuous to the punks from uptown. They might bully you.
For your information, the staff exhibits zeal for the headmistress
of the academy in the course of their work.
In class C of this Academy 3, there are deviants.
Their leader ascended easily by beating up his competitors.
They have bullied many people ... you have time to consider your speech
before they confront you. Avoid trouble, so that you don't become delinquent
at the academy. The staff must employ strict measures to rein in that gang.
I shall see you again later"
Female student says, "All rise"
Academy 3-- Class C, Lunch break
Misato says, "Hiyuu, about that ... a little while ago,
Komaki informed you of an extraordinary raid on an estate ...
Please excuse her"
(left panel) (top) Concerned (left) Annoyed (right) Sober (bottom) Melancholy
(right panel) (top) Affection (left) Bubbly (right) Friendly (bottom) Rapport
Misato says, "... ... Indeed, please excuse her"
Bully, male student says, "Hey there ... Hey there, Hiyuu. Hey there, Sato"
Kyouichi says, "Hey there. What is your decision?
Will you be my henchman ... Come on, no excuse. On a different note,
don't you think that gal Misato is the haggler of the class?"
(left panel) (top) Concerned (left) Annoyed (right) Sober (bottom) Melancholy
(right panel) (top) Affection (left) Bubbly (right) Friendly (bottom) Rapport
Kyouichi says, "I await your opinion nonetheless.
I forbear you to sketch the root by criticizing her.
During that recess, she oriented you to this Academy of Mysticism"
(left panel) (top) Concerned (left) Annoyed (right) Sober (bottom) Melancholy
(right panel) (top) Affection (left) Bubbly (right) Friendly (bottom) Rapport
Kyouichi says, "Come on, dude ...
Greenhorn, she grew up enmeshed in the intrigue of an all-girls school.
She also had various questions about your data and studies.
Moreover, she also advised you. Lunch is cod.
I returned to the room to inform you of your alternatives. About what comes.
There are 3 floors of corridors. Come on, let us not dawdle.
Where do you want to explore?"
Floor 3
Kyouichi says, "By touching the screen, you climbed the stairs.
Also, you must learn the way to your classes.
Since I am a junior, I have traversed these 3 floors.
There are other books for studying books, music, and other audio lessons.
It shall be difficult ... yet there will be flowers,
as we walk through the libraries of the Academy of Mysticism.
Are you curious about the building?"
(left panel) (top) Concerned (left) Annoyed (right) Sober (bottom) Melancholy
(right panel) (top) Affection (left) Bubbly (right) Friendly (bottom) Rapport
Kyouichi says, "You have not decided whether you are curious.
As a matter of fact ... let us survey current events.
On the top floor, there are borrowers of books.
Do you want to scavenge the libraries for candidates? Let us not waste time.
Let us proceed with the survey. It shall be difficult ... A small question --
do you want to focus on studying?"
(left panel) (top) Concerned (left) Annoyed (right) Sober (bottom) Melancholy
(right panel) (top) Affection (left) Bubbly (right) Friendly (bottom) Rapport
Kyouichi says, "Well well, you are not driven by your desires, eh.
Since that is your attitude, we shall only survey a few rooms.
To the survey of the floor"
Female student says, "Him!! Captain, I fell, and injured myself"
Kyouichi says, "A feisty one, ah, I introduce you to Anko!!"
Anko says, "A little while ago, it was too dark for my walking speed,
and I wasn't watching the ground. All in all.
Adroit -- first I must be adroit with my body"
Kyouichi says to Hiyuu, "I have a different vision.
Let us put aside this pointless encounter. The concourse has leads, however.
Let's go to the concourse"
Anko says to Kyouichi, "That place is also dark"
Kyouichi says, "I go to explore"
Anko says to Kyouichi, "I shall recover!!"
Anko says to Hiyuu, "There is much more.
My reason was that I was escaping my preliminary.
The escape was another injury ...
there is now a blot on the skin of this maiden's ambition,
but I remain resolute.
Anyway, there is also the matter of my work for the dormitory. Oh -- ?
-- I'm very sorry for that, too.
You ... perhaps you are entering Academy 3 -- Class C as a transfer student?
Can you confirm your given name -- ? Well, let me see ... that is how it is!!
You are Hiyuu Tatsuma"
Anko shrugs, "Mine is Touno Kyoko of Class B"
[Translator's note: Anko is her nickname. Her formal name is Kyoko]
Anko says to Hiyuu, "Everyone calls me Anko,
due to the gusto with which I proselytize my job.
I was elected the captain of the Newspaper Club.
-- Without any accompaniment, I am solitary as the captain and only member
of the Botany Club, but that club is essential to me.
Although it might be difficult ...
would it be all right if I interviewed you, Hiyuu"

(right panel) (top) Affection (left) Bubbly (right) Friendly (bottom) Rapport
Anko says, "It shall only take a few minutes of your time.
You need not introduce yourself to the school.
That kind of demeanor fails to address the matter.
You should not be indifferent to your classmates.
Allow me to do the task of taking your photograph.
The mysticism newspaper shall display your face as a news article
for the school. Hehehehe. Hmm? Ah --!!
Soon I shall publish an introduction of our new student.
The teacher pages me to attend to the club.
I shall no longer intrude on you with my interview. Hiyuu.
Ah. To my consultation. This one shall bring us peace"
Mysticism newspaper, Issue 1
Academy of mysticism newspaper club has begun publishing its newspaper
Topic, "A major exodus from the temple made of wormwood"
The Associated Press -> What is the cause of its grievance?
2nd floor corridor
Kyouichi says, "On the 2nd floor, there are the sophomore class
and activity rooms. Follow me to the library --"
Female student A says, "Ah, you are already being guided along a route
to a learning activity"
Female student B says, "It is soon. We should hurry --"
Female student A says, "Wait for a moment, before you go"
Kyouichi says, "... Ah, that ... that"
Female student C says, "Shinji does not have the cache!!
Soko comes with a request for the captain!!"
Kyouichi says, "... As usual, Soko has incredible gumption.
Concerning that female candy student, she likes to augur events, like a bell.
Ah, earlier I still did not explain my club's trajectory for development.
That disparity --. That sign says that only the Occult Study Club may enter,
since it studies ghosts therein.
I failed to acquire a job hidden within Class B -- orientation captain ...
the job of that person is to explore the interests of his clients
for established activities. Follow me, as we explore.
I shall guide you, Hiyuu.
Should we take up the work that lays ahead in the next section?

Kiyouichi says, "Hey hey, which way.
Should I lead you further to explore your interests in activities?
Look -- sketch the root, boy. However, before we discover your predilections,
we must do dirty work. Should we go to the nearby areas yonder,
to find the corresponding answers that inform us, do you think?
That room is gauche --.
I look forward to exploring this room out from the corridor,
for an intense activity"
Occult Study Club
Female student of the club says, "Here you go, the next person"
