Yaya is cute.
Yaya... is the cutest girl in the world!
Yaya is cute.
The cutest girl in the world!
Yaya is cute!
I love Yaya.
Yaya is attractive.
Yaya is my bride!
Oh, you're awake, Raishin?
Just what were you whispering into my ear?
A little charm so you'll fall in love with Yaya!
That wasn't a harmless little charm.
You were trying to corrupt my mind, weren't you?
Raishin!
We'll be in Mechanical City soon!
It's been half a day since we left London.
Man, my butt hurts.
It's a boarding school,
so we'll be spending our nights alone together, right?
Yeah, so?
There's going to be lots of sleepless nights in our future!
No, I'll be sleeping.
And I'll kick you out if you try anything weird.
Start getting ready.
Okay!
Here.
Thanks, Onii-chan!
Sure.
You all right?
Yep!
Raishin, something's wrong!
Is it out of control?
The hell?!
What's going on?!
Stop!
Stop the train!
Why aren't we stopping?!
We just passed Edge Hill!
There's only one stop left!
We're going to crash into Lime Street Station!
How much further until the last stop?
One or two miles, and it's a straight shot!
Yaya!
The brakes!
Onii-chan?
Don't worry.
I'm sure we'll be fine.
It won't stop?
Don't give up.
We'll stop the engine.
R-Right!
Raishin, we're jumping!
Raishin, we won't make it!
I'm counting on you, Yaya!
Yes!
48th Strike: Silence!
Attagirl, Yaya.
You controlled it well.
Thanks, Raishin!
You're not hurt, are you?
No.
Thank you very much!
Are you a magician, Onii-chan?
Nope.
I'm a puppeteer.
Then she's an automaton?
Yes!
Yaya is Raishin's doll.
Even in bed!
You pervert!
Yaya...
Yes, Raishin?
Do you know what dark emotion is swirling inside me?
Sexual frustration?
It's rage!
Why do you say things that cause misunderstandings?!
But that woman was looking at you with lust in her eyes!
"Woman"?
She was a child!
A child!
No, she was a woman!
Walpurgis Royal Academy of Machinart,
the best institution for learning magical arts...
This is where the Evening Party to become Wiseman is held, right?
Yeah.
If you step through this gate,
you won't be seeing the outside again any time soon.
Wherever Raishin is, that's where Yaya should be!
Don't get too attached to me.
I plan to use you as a tool for my revenge.
Yaya is a mechanical doll Shouko created.
Yaya was born a tool.
And tools only come to life when they have a purpose.
Yaya will accompany you, Raishin.
All the way to bed!
Not happening.
But...
I like your determination!
Welcome back, Raishin!
How did you score?
1,235th...
Please don't be so depressed!
Yaya knows about all the hellish training you've gone through!
Regardless of the test, you won't lose to anyone in a battle.
You're the Karyusai brand's greatest automaton.
For your puppeteer to score this low...
I'm so pathetic.
You're not!
Yaya's happy just being with you.
I'm ashamed to face Shouko-san!
Shouko, Shouko, Shouko!
Why are you always thinking about Shouko?!
Do you understand your place now, Samurai Boy?
I'm Professor Kimberley of the Machinart Physics Department.
Unfortunately for both of us, I'm now your advisor.
Thanks for the kind introduction.
Nice to meet you.
Hey, look at him.
He's got black hair.
Is he Oriental?
How unusual...
I know it was a long journey from your country town in the Far East,
but you saw your number.
If you want to graduate,
start earning credits like your life depends on it.
Kimberly-sensei, I have a question.
What is it?
What do I have to do to get into the Evening Party?
Get marks that'll put you in the school's top one hundred...
But there's little hope of that.
The Evening Party is a bloody war where magi vie for supremacy.
A fight using automatons.
It only ends when one magician is left standing.
Amateurs like you end up losing their lives.
Then I just need to be the last man standing.
Why are you fixated on the Evening Party?
So I can become Wiseman.
What do you desire?
Wealth?
Fame?
Knowledge?
Money?
That's a pointless question.
If I become Wiseman, I get all that.
True enough...
Wiseman gets special treatment.
He or she is allowed to use forbidden books and forbidden arts,
and would likely be welcomed as general of any nation's army.
But it seems your goal is neither fame nor knowledge.
As you know, our school was born when machinart - machine magic - was developed.
Since magic is being used for military purposes worldwide,
it's our goal to continually produce high-caliber puppeteers.
We host the Evening Party for the same purpose:
to single out the most skilled puppeteer.
In the highly unlikely event that someone with an entry were defeated in battle by someone without an entry...
Then what?
Work hard, Second Last-kun.
Thanks for the great lesson.
That teacher seemed a little scary.
She told me everything I wanted to know, though.
She might actually be a fine woman.
Raishin, you really do like older women!
How dare you when you already have Yaya?!
H-Hey, cut it out...
You're in my way.
Get lost.
This is the girls dorm.
Didn't you hear me tell you to get lost?
Y-You don't have to be so rude about it!
Right, Raishin?
Raishin?
Raishin!
Let her through, Yaya.
Don't tell me you're interested in that deplorable woman?
Maybe.
More importantly, let's find the boys dorm.
What are you thinking about, Raishin?
A way to enter the Evening Party.
That's the best shortcut to killing him.
But how will you do it?
If I want an entry,
I have to do what Kimberly-sensei said and pull a Momotarou.
I'll steal it from the demons.
So we must resort to force, huh?
That's pretty much it.
All right, Yaya will seize the day too.
Hey, what are you doing?
Yaya must resort to force!
Isn't that what you just said?
Hey now!
Cut it out!
Don't wanna!
Stop it!
Why do they find me so terrifying?
Because you are.
You're the woman who sent five upperclassmen to the hospital on your first day of school.
That's because they kept touching me when they were trying to get me to join their club or whatever it was.
You also tried to shove your roommate out the window.
That was an unfortunate accident.
That's because she broke into the bathroom as a prank!
Was destroying the lab because you didn't want to touch any frogs also unavoidable?
Shut up!
If you don't stop right now,
I'll downgrade your lunch from chicken to chickpeas!
Why don't you make any friends?
All of the students here will be taking part in the Evening Party.
I don't intend on getting along with them.
With that attitude, you'll end up alone.
You won't find a boyfriend, either.
You'll be unpopular forever.
Who's unpopular?!
There's no way any man could resist a girl as cute as me!
I believe you're Charlotte Belew-jyou?
See?
You're a second-year,
and one of the Rounds, the Evening Party's top-ranked.
Your registered code is Tyrant Rex.
So a tyrannical ruler, eh?
The dinosaur vibe fits.
Did you want something?
I'll be taking your entry.
Hey, I hear a Japanese exchange student is challenging Tyrant Rex!
Huh.
Is it the Izanagi-ryu Princess?
No, it's some new boy who just got here two days ago.
Who is he?
You're a real idiot.
An idiot among idiots.
A towering idiot.
A shining idiot, you know?
I know.
Stupid and dimwitted?
Girls lose interest in the slow type.
Girls your age shouldn't talk like that.
That's right!
Raishin's actually quick to get it on!
Don't say something so vague!
Spring always brings more idiots who need to be taught their place.
True, I'm a moron who got 1,235th out of 1,236,
but I'm pretty sure I know my place.
1,235th?
Go ahead and laugh.
My only path is to fight and win.
You may be a perv who plays with dolls,
but you get points for determination.
Fine.
I'll crush you with everything I've got.
Sigmund!
Right!
Our turn, Yaya!
24th Strike: Whist-
Raishin!
Looks like there's more than one idiot here.
Who are those guys?
Just sit back and watch.
I'll take care of those idiots before you.
Don't lose.
Who do you think you're talking to?
Nice.
Don't get ahead of yourself!
Above us!
Not bad.
Her Rounds title isn't just for show.
Lustre Cannon!
That cannon is pretty outrageous.
W-What are you doing?!
Out of our way, exchange student.
She's my prey.
I won't let you steal her.
We've been planning this for weeks.
If anyone's a thief here, it's you!
Really?
I had no idea.
But-
Got em!
You let your guard down!
Serves you right!
Hey, now, I thought we weren't supposed to go after puppeteers.
But if that's how you wanna play, I'll get serious too!
12th Binding: Flare!
Right!
Get up, Sigmund.
Lustre Flare!
You better not let anything as absurd as thinking you saved me get stuck in your head.
You're not the type who needs saving.
I suppose I'll ask for your name.
The Japanese puppeteer, Akabane Raishin.
Yaya, with the same surname.
No, totally different.
Yaya, his wife!
She's not, got that?
We are not married!
It makes no difference to me.
Let's get on with it.
I'm done.
Today's been ruined.
You're joking.
You're quitting now?
See you later.
He's a quite the coward!
Are you sure about that?
Sigmund?
What do you mean?
It seems he noticed my injuries.
Does it hurt?
I'd like to rest for two or three days.
But he's still a coward!
If he won't take advantage of an enemy's weakness,
he's a total coward!
It seems like you've taken quite the interest in him.
You even asked his name.
That's enough of you!
I'll downgrade your lunch from chicken to maize!
Raishin, will you challenge someone again tomorrow?
I'll think about that tomorrow.
That makes sense.
Well, good night!
Whoa, hold it, hold it, hold it!
What's wrong?
Your bed's over there.
But Yaya was injured in today's fight...
Yeah, so?
We automatons live off our puppeteer's magic!
And when we're injured, we heal faster the closer we are to them.
Fine.
If that's what this is about, we can sleep together.
Okay!
But don't do anything weird.
Yaya would never do anything weird.
I should rephrase that to... don't touch me.
Damn!
What was that "damn" for?!
Automatons recover faster when touching their puppeteers!
So...
Liar!
Get out, I changed my mind!
No!
To have forgotten your wallet, you really are complete moron.
You'd better sign the I.O.U. later!
And I'll collect interest, obviously.
Sure.
Thanks.
Honestly...
Why are you eating here?!
Go away!
I'm not sharing my table.
Oh, don't be so unreasonable.
Same here, I don't want be seen with a perv like you!
How are you feeling, Sigmund?
No problems.
What's the matter?
Nothing!
I'm just bored!
Why don't you liven things up a little?
Oh, so you do want things livened up a little.
Sigmund!
We're going to exterminate this idiot!
Calm down, Charl.
Raishin?
That's...
Oh, Magnus.
Are you going after him next?
Yaya!
Right!
Don't!
You'll never beat him!
