On the night of the full moon
Nadeshiko, where are you?!
Nadeshiko!
Dad!
Nadeshiko!
Nadeshiko...
Hold it, Masked Boy.
Or should I call you Magnus?
Who are you?
Don't be so cold.
I travelled halfway around the globe just to see you, you know.
I believe you've mistaken me for someone else.
All right, that's fine.
I just wanted to give you this!
Mantis
Raishin!
Magnus holds the record for the highest marks here.
He's the greatest genius in the academy's history.
A one-man force who can manipulate six automatons simultaneously.
And currently the one most likely to become Wiseman.
Such hasty young ladies.
I only meant to give you this as a token of our new acquaintance.
What is that?
I humbly accept it.
Yaya apologises!
Yaya should have...
I hate to admit it, but Charl was right.
I'll never beat him as I am now.
Will I ever be able to match him?
Raishin, shall Yaya wash your back?
You've had a long day.
It's a wife's duty to relieve her husband's weariness!
W-What are you doing, Yaya?!
Hey!
It'll be fine.
What will?
You will win.
You will.
The Evening Party will be the stage for that battle.
Yeah, you're right.
Thank you, Yaya.
Raishin, please give Yaya a reward!
Cut it out!
Come on, it better be a good reward!
Quit pressing up against me!
I said quit it!
Good morning.
I suppose I should introduce myself to you, Mr. Akabane.
I'm-
As one of the Rounds, and chief of the public morals committee that's the cornerstone of the academy's self-government,
what does Felix Kingsfort-san want with me?
I'd like to discuss something.
Shall we make a deal?
No.
Even if I'm offering an entry to the Evening Party?
Let's discuss this after school.
A magic circuit is basically an alternative to a ritual,
it's almost like a engine of sorts.
Just as steam makes gears turn,
magical power produces a magic act.
Was that a devil tempting me, or...?
Are you all right, Raishin?!
You clearly don't value your life if you're ignoring my lecture, Second Last.
Who do you suppose I'm covering such basic material for?
For new students like me, and the failing ones?
For a certain new, failing student.
Now answer this:
which magic circuit is currently the most widely used?
Heat... no, power... light?
Enlighten him, Charlotte.
Eve's Heart.
Correct.
All automatons contain a life-giving magic circuit called "Eve's Heart".
This circuit is what allows them to act independently.
The Eve's Heart gives the doll intelligence;
a highly skilled craftsman can even produce automatons identical to humans.
Though imitating humans is pointless, if you ask me.
I don't know why you'd say something like that,
but Yaya is the best automaton in the world.
Raishin...
Shouko made her, after all!
Shouko?!
Shouko again?!
Felix?
Why's he with that idiot?
Curious about him?
D-Don't be stupid!
Starting tomorrow, you're eating green peas!
Of course he's been kind and gentlemanly, but...
No, I don't mean Felix.
I mean Raishin.
He's an interesting man.
Do you remember?
In the dining hall, he asked how I was feeling.
Yes, and?
He treated me as an individual.
Normally one would not ask me, but would ask you:
"How is your puppet?"
Well, perhaps...
Charl, I want to ask you something.
Raishin and Yaya protected you.
Are you prepared to defeat them?
I am Charlotte of the House of Belew, the family Her Majesty granted the noble unicorn crest, and the northern kingdom.
I'll eliminate anyone who stands in my way.
Anyone.
All right, let's discuss the deal.
What do you want from me?
To tell you the truth, 26 students have gone missing since last October.
It seems there have been twelve cases where automatons were destroyed as well.
The methods are reminiscent of Jack the Ripper.
Who would do this?
The puppeteer called Cannibal Candy.
I'd like you to find him and defeat him.
Why me?
Two reasons.
Firstly, you aren't Cannibal Candy.
Considering you just got here.
Secondly, you're quite strong.
I saw yesterday's battle.
Felix!
Pardon me.
I'm Lisette Norden, vice-chief of the public morals committee.
It's not like you to get so flustered, Lise.
Has there been another Cannibal Candy incident?
Yes.
A doll that had been devoured was found behind the Technology Department.
Hi, Charl.
Same to you, Sigmund.
So you're here as well, Charl?
I heard the commotion...
Oh, you know each other?
I've been asking her on dates forever.
She keeps rejecting me, though.
I'll be asking you again once we've taken care of this incident.
Raishin, over here.
No magic circuits.
That's his modus operandi.
When he's done, it always looks like their Eve's Heart has been eaten whole.
Whose puppet is this?
We're investigating that.
From the look of things, this automaton used an iron ball.
Yeah, she's definitely yesterday's...
But...
What's wrong, Charl?
Hey, wait!
Let me go!
Seeing that crime scene must've made her want to take action.
Similarly, my blood is boiling as well.
Lend us your power, Raishin.
All right.
I'll try investigating this, but I'll be doing it my way.
Please wait, Raishin Akabane.
There's something I'd like to speak with you privately about.
With me?
Talk about something private?
Yes.
A tryst?
Please die along with your dreams.
No, I spoke in error.
Please die.
What part did you think was wrong?
Raishin, you're the sort who gets turned on by insults?!
You're wrong too!
Raishin, Yaya will go with-
You go back to the dorm.
Please hurry back.
Before Yaya turns the dorm into rubble.
Don't you dare!
No rubble and no ruins!
Well?
What did you want to say?
I feel a bit guilty saying this, but...
Please be wary of Charlotte-san.
Her automaton is a Banned Doll.
As I'm sure you know, Banned Dolls contain flesh-and-blood parts.
They violate the Mage Code of Ethics.
According to the legend passed down through the Belew Family,
Sigmund has devoured people, burned villages to the ground,
and committed every sin imaginable.
I hear that even now,
he can't maintain his form if he doesn't eat meat regularly.
What are you getting at?
We think Cannibal Candy also uses a Banned Doll.
Raishin...
You're thinking about that vixen, aren't you?
Must you have such sharp instincts?
Take off your underwear right now!
Yaya will smell them to make sure there was no funny business with that vixen.
Like hell!
Just how bad do you think people are?
But, but...!
Well, I intend to start snooping around tomorrow.
Now that I've heard this, I'll start hunting Cannibal Candy...
No, we'll hunt Cannibal Candy.
Got it, Yaya?
Yes!
Charl?!
It's late, what do you need?
A d-
"D-"?
A date!
I'll let you date me!
Make sure you're free after school tomorrow!
Huh?
D-Date?!
T-That's a lovely offer, but-!
Yeah, that's fine.
After school, right?
Right, I'll hold you to that.
Raishin!
You're horrible!
How could you?!
This is your ideal place for a date?
Idiot.
You're my decoy.
I figured as much.
Even if you meet Cannibal Candy, you'll be fine.
I'll beat him for you.
Don't worry and just let him attack you!
Don't you have any friends?
W-Where did that come from?!
You had no one to ask for help but me, the guy you just met, right?
I'm helping you!
Be grateful.
What are you doing?
You know I took Felix up on his offer, right?
You eavesdropped, didn't you?
S-So what?
Forget it, I'm done.
Enough playing detective.
We're going on a date now.
Huh?!
Huh? What?!
D-Don't be high-handed!
Aren't you the one who invited me?
What, can't even take responsibility for your own words?
Fine!
I'll go anywhere you like!
Wait a moment!
You can't go on a date!
Yaya will accompany you!
All right, let's go into town.
How dare you date another woman when you already have Yaya?!
But then Sigmund can't come...
Moron.
What's the meaning of this, Raishin?!
Nobody takes automatons on their dates.
And I'm not willing to take such a risk.
You go enjoy yourself.
Why are you holding my hand?!
Cause we're on a date!
Let me go!
Quit flailing.
How about having more faith in your master?
Faith?
I like to think I'm a good judge of character after 150 years on this Earth.
There was no lust in his eyes.
Really?
Yes.
Still, it's a fact that boys his age can be indiscriminate.
It's entirely possible that something could happen.
Raishin...
We are not humans.
You may be more or less human in both appearance and functionally,
but you'll never be equal.
Yaya knows that!
Automatons function by using magical power supplied by their puppeteers.
It's perfectly natural to feel affection for your master,
but why are you so in love with him?
Well Yaya can't say that out loud!
At any rate, our masters aren't with us right now.
We must be careful.
I'm hungry.
Let's go back.
Let's eat, then.
I'll treat you.
I don't take charity from perverts!
You ignorant fool!
I won't forgive you for disgracing me like this!
It looks delicious...
Say, why did you ask me to go out to lunch with you the other day?
It was a logical progression.
How so, exactly?
First you picked a fight with Tyrant Rex,
and then you asked her to lunch!
You're a hopeless idiot.
I'll take that as a compliment.
Why were you after my entry?
There are a hundred of us.
You could have picked an easier target.
If I chose an easy target, it wouldn't mean anything.
I was trying to take an entry by force, at another person's expense.
That's why it would be unforgivable if I didn't risk something as well.
Well, not that it's forgiveable anyway...
But...
Sorry, I don't understand it either.
I originally thought you were a hard man to read...
But now I see you're completely nuts.
Were those your only questions?
I'll ask one more.
What's with your fighting style?
You fight alongside your puppet...
That was me cheating.
I come from a family that specialises in group tactics.
Akabane puppet masters pull the strings of a whole corps.
But my training was rushed,
so Yaya's about all I can handle.
So I used my own body instead of another doll.
After all, I do know some martial arts.
Rushed?
Yeah.
I just started to seriously study puppetry a little over two years ago.
W-What?!
And you want to be Wiseman?!
Let's just say I have my reasons.
By the way, have you fallen for Felix?
What?
You-
Don't say it like it's a fact!
It's nothing as vulgar as that!
That's not vulgar.
It's normal to fall in love.
I'm telling you to shut it.
Or I'll put a hole through your heart.
I just... make enemies without realising it,
so Felix worries about me, as a member of the committee.
That's why he's been asking you out.
Why not accept?
I can't!
Felix is popular, you know.
The girls are really crazy about him...
So you're saying you'd get even more enemies?
Exactly.
Why do you want to be Wiseman?
I have a dream.
A dream I'm willing to stain my hands with blood for.
A dream?
Thanks for coming shopping with me.
I'm surprised you can be so attentive.
Or is she so scary you need to buy her gifts?
More dangerous than scary, maybe.
You're pitiful.
Isn't being ruled by your automaton a little backwards?
Look, about what you said...
The reason you targeted me.
Yeah?
I get it.
It may be only be a little bit, but I can understand...
...the desire to be punished.
Because I've sinned, too.
What?
Don't tell me-
Cannibal Candy!
I didn't think he'd move so soon.
Yaya!
Raishin?!
