atashi to iu binetsu de uchinuiteku
アタシという微熱で撃ち抜いてく
With the slight heat known as me, I'll shoot you down.
You still don't get it?
My full name is Kanzaki Holmes Aria.
I'm Sherlock Holmes IV.
Sherlock... Holmes?
This can't be true... A Holmes like this...
Kin-chan!
Why didn't you reply to my mails?!
Is it true that you're living together with a girl?!
Hotogi Shirayuki Hotogi Shirayuki Hotogi Shirayuki Hotogi Shirayuki Hotogi Shirayuki Hotogi Shirayuki Hotogi Shirayuki Hotogi Shirayuki Hotogi Shirayuki Hotogi Shirayuki
What?
I'm coming in, Kin-chan.
You really are here!
Kanzaki H. Aria!
Shirayuki, you've got it all wrong!
This is...
It's not Kin-chan's fault!
Kin-chan is just being deceived!
You lover thief!
You will have to pay with your life for the sin of defiling Kin-chan!
Wai- What's this?!
Calm down, Shirayuki!
I haven't been defiled anywhere!
Sixth Bullet
The Shrine Maiden of Hotogi
Kanzaki H. Aria, prepare yourself!
No, wait...
Divine punishment!
Shinken Shirahatori!
This is the first time I've seen it done live!
W-Why me?
Be quiet, you lover thief!
What is with you?!
Get away from Kin-chan!
Like I said, what's with that nonsense?
Listen to what others are trying to say!
S-Stop it, both of you.
Stop it, all right? Or I'll blast a hole in you!
You're a... Choutei?
That's right, Shirayuki is a Choutei.
In other words, she's a Butei that has esper abilities.
In the outskirts of Aomori, there's the Hotogi Shrine.
Shirayuki is one of the Hotogi shrine maidens,
who have endured for many generations.
And Hotogi shrine maidens are...
...armed shrine maidens that use an esper ability known as Kidoujutsu.
Though espers sound suspicious to me as well,
they do exist in reality.
The fact that Riko is one of them is a new thing for me.
And in Butei High School, there is the SSR, the Esper Ability Investigation Research Lab where espers are raised.
Shirayuki seems to be one of their honour students.
So if a person like Shirayuki fights with an S-rank Butei like Aria...
It'd obviously end up like this.
She's tough...
This... lover thief...
You... You're tough too.
Hey, isn't it about time you two calm down and listen to-
Kin-chan!
I'm sorry!
You're with this girl because I didn't have the courage...
If you get any braver, it'd really bother me!
Don't get too full of yourself just because you're in a love relationship with Kin-chan!
What?!
Love relationship?!
Don't be so stupid!
I don't care about love relationships at all!
It's not like I care about it!
Nor do I plan to have one!
So, Kin-chan is not your lover?
He's not!
Then what is he?
He is... my slave, my slave!
Y-Your slave?!
D-Don't tell me you two are even doing those kinds of plays.
Well, I've imagined the opposite before, but... But-!
That's not it! That's not it! That's not it!
Kinji!
Don't call him so casual-
Shirayuki, Aria and I are both Butei colleagues.
We're just temporarily teaming up.
Is that true?
You don't believe what I say?
I believe you. I believe what you say.
So, Kin-chan and Aria haven't done those things, right?
"Those things"?
Well.. for example... k-kissing.
You... two... have, right?
Shirayuki, calm down!
T-That was...
I-It's true, we did kiss, but...
B-But...
It's okay!
Because we didn't make any children!
What?!
That's because f-father said that you could make children by kissing!
As if you can!
Male Changing Room
Shirayuki?
Yo.
You know, about yesterday...
Huh? Hey!
Is she still mad?
Female Changing Room
This morning's home room will be about the Adseard next week.
During the Adseard, not only will Butei High School students from various countries be participating in events,
but many ordinary people will be coming as well.
Hey, Kinji.
You're not going to participate in any of the Adseard events, right?
Don't ask something so obvious.
They wouldn't ask an E-rank Butei to participate, right?
As expected.
Then, let's be the receptionists together.
Shiranui can't.
I suddenly have to participate in the gun shooting event...
...because Kanzaki-san pulled out.
Well, it's okay to be a receptionist.
Aria, you won't be participating in anything?
Book: Explained with diagrams - How to make a baby
W-What are you reading, so early in the morning...
So, it's about this, I see...
Huh?
You sick pervert!
You should be able to dodge something like this, you perverted Butei.
No... It's impossible.
Ah, I might be able to use this.
Hey! Aria!
Hey!
Who is it?
Why did you call me out?
You're late-
Being taken from behind, you still have a long way to go.
W-Why are you dressed like that?
I haven't told you yet?
I'll be cheerleading during Adseard.
This is for the practices.
Cheerleading... Like Alkata?
If you want me to practise with you, I'll have to refuse.
You have a split personality, right?
H-Huh?
After the hijack, I investigated.
You have a split personality.
Most likely, it resulted from a traumatic experience you had when you were a child.
You switch into the other personality due to the stress of battle.
You're wrong, Kanzaki Holmes Aria.
My hysteria mode is not a characteristic acquired from a psychogenic reaction.
It's a genetically inherited neural characteristic.
Hey, are you listening?
That's why I'm going to expose you to the stress of battle, so it will be easier for you to awaken.
It's a training that I thought of during this morning's homeroom.
TL Note: Aria uses the word "調教 (chyoukyou)," which is normally used when referring to training an animal.
That really hurt though, you know.
After you've awakened in your other state, you'll be able to learn how to counterattack automatically.
For now, you need to be able to do Shinken Shirahatori.
Don't be ridiculous-
Okay, imagine that timing five hundred times.
You can move your hands.
The time limit will be ten minutes.
In other words, I have to do image training.
So, would you rather increase the amount of lumps already on your head?
All right, already.
I'll do it.
Yes, yes. The Kinji that listens to what people say is a good Kinji.
Do it properly.
Ouch...
The results of the training are not showing.
It's because you popped out so suddenly!
We'll be continuing this tomorrow as well.
Huh? What are you saying-
You're my partner.
It's my responsibility to train you.
Second year, Class B's Hotogi Shirayuki...
Huh?
Hotogi Shirayuki...
Shirayuki?
It's calling for her.
Come to your master's-my room immediately.
I mean, make sure you go to your teacher, Tsuzuri's place.
Kinji, this is a chance.
You hear me?
Huh?
That's all.
We are going to find out Shirayuki's weakness right now.
What?
Today, Shirayuki tried to kill me.
If it's killing, then you two did that yesterday as well, right?
She was serious today.
She set a trap in a locker in the girls' change room.
Trap?
She knew that I had to go to my locker, or else I wouldn't be able to get my clothes.
And a piano string was tied at neck-height.
A piano string...
Isn't that pretty dangerous?
Even for Shirayuki, she wouldn't-
It's possible... I guess.
No, that can't be.
What's more, I felt like someone was watching me.
Someone poured water on me from the corridor,
and a letter that said "lover thief" was placed in my shoe rack.
I can't think of any other woman who would do this.
Hotogi, what's with this today?
For you to get lower than 90...
I-I'm sorry, Tsuzuri-sensei.
Well, the score doesn't really matter.
It's just not like you.
Hotogi, did that person contact you by any chance?
"That person"?
Lezzad reported a high chance of you being targeted, remember?
SSR had a similar prediction, as well.
I'm talking about Durandal.
I see.
Durandal?
But everyone says that even the existence of Durandal is a rumour-
What if it's not a rumour? What are you going to do?
Even if it's not, we're talking about a person who abducts famous Chouteis.
He wouldn't target someone like me-
You know, you are my prized student.
I have said it before as well; at least have a bodyguard.
B-But if I have a bodyguard...
I... I won't be able to take care of Kin-chan.
As Adseard approaches, lots of people from outside the school will be coming.
How about just during that period?
It'd make us feel much more relieved. Well?
B-But still...
I'll be that bodyguard.
Aria? Kin-chan?
I'll be on 24 hour stand-by, and I'll do it for free.
That's great, having an S-rank Butei to guard you for free.
I-I refuse.
Being with Aria all the time is filthy.
If you don't let me guard you, I'll shoot this guy.
Aria, the ninth Butei law! The ninth law!
Kin-chan!
I see, so that's the relationship you guys have.
So, what are you going to do, Hotogi?
All right.
I'll allow Aria to guard me. However...
Huh?
Kin-chan will also be my bodyguard on 24 hour stand-by.
I-I'll live with Kin-chan, as well!
Why did it become like this?
From now on, I'll be in your care.
My name is Hotogi Shirayuki.
I-I may be inexperienced, so please take care of me!
Why are you being so nervous now?
When I think about living with Kin-chan, I just get nervous.
Before we eat, I need to clean the room.
Geez, where did my quiet, peaceful life go?
And... what are you doing?
I'm fortifying this room.
Isn't that the basics of the basics of guarding someone?
Would someone go that far?
Weren't you just trying to find out Shirayuki's weakness?
My goal has changed; I will capture Durandal.
Huh?
Durandal, you see, is one of my enemies who framed Mama for his crimes.
If I can arrest him, Mama's sentence will decrease to having 635 years left.
If things go well, I might even be able to request the Supreme Court to withdraw the charges.
She forgets about herself when it comes to her mother.
But I heard that Durandal is something like an urban legend.
No one has actually seen him, right?
That's not true!
He really exists!
Then, have you ever seen Durandal with your own eyes?
I-I haven't but...
See?
But isn't it obvious that he exists?
Mama is accused of his crimes-
It could be an another culprit's crime.
Be quiet! Anyway, he does exist!
You know...
Listen up, you should do some work as well!
Look, start by checking the dresser in the corridor for dangerous items!
The dresser in the corridor?
I'll set some in the bedroom, too.
Hurry up and get moving. Get moving!
Isn't this what Shirayuki brought here?
There won't be any dangerous items...
There are...
...items that are dangerous to me.
What happened, Shirayuki?
Did you break a plate or something?
Kin-chan.
I'm sorry.
The super concentrated Kakkaontou...
TL Note: Kakkaontou is an infusion of kudzu, cinnamon, etc., used as an antifebrile, for hangovers, etc.
This is the medicine that you drink all the time when you catch a cold, right?
If I remember correctly, it's really rare.
It's just that you have to go to Ameyoko to find it around here.
I can just go and buy it again.
Don't worry about it.
Kin-chan, you really are kind.
That part of you never changes.
Don't be stupid. As if I would be mad at you for something like this.
I'll clean this up, so I'll leave the other places to you.
All right.
Here, please go ahead, Kin-chan.
I made everything for you.
Thank you.
This look delicious.
After the meal, do you want to take a bath or... do you want me... me...
Huh?
Hey, wait a second. Why aren't there any eating utensils where I'm sitting?
Why?!
If you have any problems, I'll dismiss you!
You...
If I don't do this-
I'll take you on!
Last time, I was still hiding my trump card!
I was hiding two trump cards, too!
I was hiding three!
Then, I was hiding four!
Five!
Lots!
Lots and lots!
Anyway, this is how Aria and I began to guard Shirayuki.
After going to school together,
Aria takes care of her during class.
Here, Kin-chan.
We only gather during lunch time.
And it's my turn after school, which is the plan, but...
Huh? You two fought again?
You see, during lunch time, Aria was being arrogant and said "lunch time is training time, so don't get in my way."
It's not training, it's practice.
Aria is so annoying.
Barging in on everything you want to do.
Intruding into our world.
Did a world like that ever exist?
I can't even lower my defence for one second.
In a sense, I do think she's amazing but...
Well yeah, in a sense.
I don't want Kin-chan to be taken away.
Aria is very charming, so...
I told you before, right?
I'm only teaming up with her.
She's different from a childhood friend like you.
Childhood friend...
That's right.
You have known me since a long time ago.
You were also the first one to take me outside, even though I was forbidden to leave the Hotogi Shrine.
The fireworks I saw then were very pretty.
We got scolded later, though.
Even so, you still came to play with me many times, so I was happy.
I think my childish heart is just sympathising with Shirayuki.
Kagome kagome, the bird in the cage,
when, when will you come out?
Shirayuki and her sisters knew that they were called like this by the adults.
In the evening of the dawn,
the crane and turtle slipped.
"The bird in the cage."
Who stands right behind you now?
Huh?!
Shirayuki, it's me!
Kin-chan?!
Kin-chan, what's the problem?!
Huh?! What?
You just called me on the phone and said, "Come and save me".
Huh?
I don't use my phone in the bathroom.
B-But that was definitely your voice.
K-Kin-chan, n-naked...
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
Because you just took a bath, and because you're naked...
It's true that I fantasized about it.
And when I did, I couldn't catch my breath...
It's my fault!
No, it's okay.
But my voice on the phone...?
To make it even...
Huh?
If Kin-chan sees me changing as well, then it would be fair.
W-Wait!
There's no need for it to be fair!
Don't strip!
I'll strip! I'll strip! I'll strip!
If it's Kin-chan, I don't mind letting you see.
Hey, now!
Kin-chan, stop it! Let me go!
As if I would let you go!
Stay still!
I'm back!
Idi... Idi...
Idiot Kinji!
Beast! Uzi bug! Bacteria!
Stop it! Don't shoot me!
Stop being such a sore loser.
Huh?! What do you mean by "sore loser"?!
It was mutual consent, so just give up already.
I'm saying it's irrelevant!

Don't worry, I've researched all sorts of folk remedies.
First, take one big, deep breath and hold it.
Slowly drink water from the opposite end of the cup.
Imagine the raw materials for tofu while pushing on the insides of your ears.
Boil the stems of some persimmons, drink it, and... Wah!
How about it? Feel better?
Aria, those are ways to cure the hiccups.
