Good day to all. I'm Yamazaki Haruma.
I'm president of this school's student union. My specialty is taking control.
This will be much like rehearsal but let's have a loot at the note.
There is a legend in this school about seven witches with various powers.
I heave learnt this knowledge upon succeeding to the presidency, from the former president.
Investigating this legend full of secrets is the PPRC, whose one member is vice-president Miyamura.
Thanks to them, six witches have already been found, first being Shiraishi Urara with the power of swapping.
Then there's Odagiri Nene, another vice-president, with the power of captivation.
Also, Ootsuka Meiko with the power of telepathy,
...Takigawa Noa who can see past traumas,
...Sarushima Mariya who can see the future,
...and my precious secretary, Asuka Mikoto, who has the power of invisibility.
The one who has discovered them is Yamada, a vulgar and stupid delinquent.
He has a mysterious ability of copying the witches' powers which became a sort of "witch-detection".
And then I found out that I had the "witch-kill", the ability of making the witches' powers dispossessed with a kiss.
Are you following so far? Or are you not?
Using the "witch-kill" ability to gather all seven witches, I have a certain plan laid out.
That being...
You absolutely mustn't tell Yamada.
He's sensitive and has a weak tummy.
However stupid he is, he wouldn't like such images distributed, no?
For me to have fallen for Shiraishi~
I~
He must already know!
Yeah.
Don't let is bother you, Yamada.
Huh?
I'm on your side.
Huh?
I have fun spending time here with you and it cheers me up.
So you mustn't care what others around you say.
Shiraishi~
Ah, is that so?
I give up now~
But if someone says something I will deny it.
And say you aren't one to steal underwear!
Huh? Underwear?
Yes, we know the origins of those pictures and that you weren't stealing bras but picking up empty cans!
Bras?
What are you talking about?
Huh?
Have you not seen the underwear-stealing pictures?
Huh? What are those?
Huuh, who is this perv -
...it's ME!
Yes.
But these are photos taken of your litter-picking, no?
Yeah, Miyamura took these didn't he?
I forgot to express my gratitude to you two. It was an award winning picture, thanks a lot.
Don't tell me he~
Miyamura can't be the only culprit.
Who else could be?
That traitor double-agent!
Double-agent?
Yamada and the seven witches -7
Ito, you threw my magazine away despite me not having looked at the idol pages yet!
Ah, busted!
What's the ignorant face for?
Do you understand what you've done?
Why is she angry?
Did you cast some spell on?
Ah, no.
Don't talk to me again!
Me? What have I done?
What splendid acting! Could win at Cannes.
Urara, let's go!
Come on.
I hope you undergo cattle mutilation!!
At the end of this month I will retire.
And about the next president,
...I regret to say I haven't made up my mind yet.
In short, you are all ineffective.
Hence,
...I will nominate the one who finds me the seventh witch.
You can choose any way you like.
Hang on!
Why is he now also a candidate?
It's simple. His work is fast and faultless.
Is it so bad to appreciate capable people?
What now, aren't you also capable?
This is not funny!
What's wrong? What happened?
At such a critical time, there is another candidate!
What?
And it's that incompetent Inose!
I can't believe it!
Calm down! Stress will only damage your beauty!
As always, you are good at controlling people.
Just like chess figures.
What do you mean?
Is it better to say you don't like your hands getting dirty?
You don't seem as calm as usual.
If you want to say something just say it.
I just happened to overhear,
...what you said about me.
- Why do you like her? - Because she'd do anything for me.
Why is that bad?
Yamada,
Ah!
What?
Shouldn't you discuss it with Miyamura?
Discuss what?
Whether Miyamura is responsible for those pictures.
I had that thing with Ushio, so I don't want to think of Miyamura like that.
Yamada!
Did you make him confess?
Confess?
Ah, not really~
Why do you stick up to him after such a thing?
Is your sixth chakra shrunk?! Use it!!
Ouch~
Ouch!
I don't want someone like him in the clubroom, OK?
Hey!
Why does she have to be so upset about those photos sent out?
You heard her. I don't think it's fine to leave things like this either.
If it's hard for you, we can swap and I will talk to him.
Hey, hey ~
Ouch!
OK?
Gosh, Shiraishi is super cute!
Uber-cute, a deity!!
This is like "perfect face"!!
Shiraishi,
... I like you!
Aw, done it!
Ah, Shiraishi, I like you!
Ah, ouch!
Shiraishi~
Miyamura,
...Miyamura!
Huh?
Can we talk?
What's up, Shiraishi?
Why do you know?
You had no reaction to this.
If it were him he's be all over it.
So what do you want to ask pretending to be Yamada?
Shiraishi, I like you!
Shiraishi!
Oh, you fool!
Helping myself to peeping at her underwear, I'm a real bastard!
I've hit her face!!
I'm such a fool!
Ah, I've done it again!
Constrain!
Yamada,
Shiraishi!
I'm sorry. I may have crossed the line.
I guess it would be better if this matter was settled between you two.
That way he can give a proper answer to you.
Shiraishi~
Miyamura,
...um,
...that...
What was the president calling a meeting for?
To say that he'll nominate whoever finds the seventh witch as the next president.
Plus he added Inose as another candidate so it's now three of us.
What?
President, it's time for the meeting.
Right, sorry for making you come here.
No, it's my duty as secretary.
Hey, I don't care how but you must find the seventh witch and become the president!
I don't care even if I have to kiss all the girls in this school!
What's wrong so suddenly?
You had zero interest in me becoming the president before.
Truth is I saw.
Saw what?
In a future vision, I saw that Inose as president.
Oh, Inose?
So why are you fretting?
That's not all,
...his secretary was Shiraishi.
Being part of the SU is an advantage for higher education, that must be her reason.
No.
Because when I saw her that time she looked just so unhappy~
Just like before I met her.
I don't want to see her like that!
You,
Yeah.
I didn't realise, then I didn't want to admit,
...but I like her.
No way! Are you serious?
What are you laughing for?
Did you just realise?
You're unbelievable!!
What the hell?
Even if you don't ask me to I will become the next president!
But we have no clues on the last witch.
Hence I'll kiss them all~
I'm not teaming up with a sex offender!!
- But you are~ - Shut up!
You're stupid!
Besides what's with this?
Why is his torn out? You spilt juice on it too.
Totally irrelevant!
Hm?
What?
Look here!
It's just a stain no?
No, look!
Because of the strong pen pressure the characters are shown!
Indeed!
Your stupidity is divine work!
What does that mean?
Let's look!
"Future", "invisibility" ~
"Memory manipulation"?
The power of memory manipulation!!
Memory?
What?
I see. So that's it.
What is it?
I hid something from you.
Huh?
Excuse me,
...are you Shiraishi Urara?
Yes.
A member of the Paranormal Phenomenon Research Club right?
I am, indeed.
Don't tell me you're a witch too?
Truth is I have an elder sister.
She was in this school and in the PPRC until last year.
Are you reading a nonsense book again?
It's not nonsense and it's interesting.
Ah, is that so?
Hey, rumour has it in our school there is a Witches' Legend.
What? A Witches' Legend?
Hey, what?!
I'm sure even you'd get excited about this!
I'll make sure to find out the mystery!!
Let me know as soon as you hear something!!
Alright, alright~
Some time later one day,
I'm back.
Welcome back.
Do you want curry, sis?
No thanks.
Ah, OK. That's right,
...what's up with the talk about witches?
Witches? What is that?
What are you saying, didn't you investigate?
About that Witches' Legend.
Witches' Legend?
You know, the PPRC~
What the heck are you talking about?
She didn't look like she was lying.
Almost as if part of her memory was erased.
After that day my sister stopped going to school.
Probably my sister was kissed by this witch and had her memory erased.
And you?
Saionji Rika, third year.
Asking if I am a witch too~
Yes, I'm a witch. It's a real trouble.
I have been searching for someone with a special power, like me.
How do you know~
You hang out with Miyamura a lot so I got interested.
He's in the PPRC right? So I thought~
Do you know Miyamura?
Just a bit~
Ah, that was close!
I don't wear knickers.
The "knickerless witch", huh?
Hey, you~
Do you know how to lose your witch power?
And to save my sister,
...I joined the SU and the PPRC,
...so that I could look into this legend.
You know,
...why? Why?
Why didn't you say sooner?
You sneak!
Found no right time.
There were loads!
When Shiraishi and I entered the club or when we found the note.
I didn't want to believe the Witches' Legend at first.
But when I saw you two swap I thought that it may be real after all.
That as a reason?
Plus I,
...I didn't trust you two.
Well you see,
...she has the power of swapping and you have the copying ability.
On top of that you entered this dull club and got excited about looking for the witches.
It all just adds to being fishy.
I thought you might be friends with the one who did that to my sister.
Miyamura~
But you just said that you liked Shiraishi.
When I heard that, all my doubts disappeared.
You really are just simply stupid~
What?!
It made me think that all you did until now was because you fell for Shiraishi.
Somehow that sort of thing,
...implies a great deal of trustworthiness.
That's why I told you about my sis.
Despite that, to have made you feel like I used you until now,
...I'm sorry.
Stop it.
Even I~
...never mind the explanation, just let me apologise.
I'm sorry!
Is this about those underwear-stealing pictures?
Why do~
Hah, Ito's attitude is easy to read,
...Shiriashi came prying undercover,
...you've been awkward so,
...I thought "ah, they think it was all me".
Yeah, we thought you were a double-agent.
It was the president's doing.
He probably wanted us to break up and me to end up isolated.
That would make me stick to the SU more.
How wicked can that bastard get?
All he did was ask, I took the photos.
Sorry to have caused this embarrassment for you.
Wait, no, stop it!
I am no good with such things.
Ah?
Don't tell me you're crying?
You're crying!
I'm not!
Hey, Yamada is crying!!
Shut up! It's because of dry eyes!
Why is the double-agent here?
Ito, it's a misunderstanding.
He's clear.
That was done by the president.
Really?
Yes, I assure you.
Also, he has to find the seventh witch to become the next president.
So we'll find the last one and help Miyamura become president. OK?
Yamada, you're strange!
Huh?
Taking Miyamura's side now.
Yamada is sticking up for me.
- Hey, Miyamura! - It's fine!
Truth is I have been hiding something from you.
Thanks for telling the truth.
Despite it's about family~
I'm sorry for doubting you without knowing anything!
All is good!
Don't need girls to apologise.
You weren't just a perv!
Calling me that is the worst!
At least the suspicion about the double-agent stuff is cleared!
What's the difference between a double-agent and a normal one?
You, stop it. I'm tired.
What did you say?
So you think your sister's memory was erased by the seventh witch?
Ah, probably.
I've just met her.
Huh?
So the seventh witch was you, Rika.
Busted am I?
When I asked you about my sister didn't you say you knew nothing?
Don't get so upset!
I am! Don't get so upset!
I am!
What?!
She forgot about me too, and being stuck in this situation is just unbearable!
I cannot kiss whom I like either ~ do something about it!!
Is she angry?
Yeah, she is.
Urara, why did you tell Miyamura?
It's your fault that I he's upset with me!
I'm sorry, but you might know something that could be a clue to find what erases the witches' powers.
Huh?
If you know something, can you please tell us?
Alright, I'll talk.
The wind is strong here so let's go somewhere quiet.
Hey, what's up?
I saw it!
Huh?
You shouldn't tamper with it.
I'm sorry.
Asuka, you aren't up to something strange, are you?
No~
Really?
Of course.
That's good.
I'm nothing without you.
Haruma~
I need your power.
I believe in you.
Until all seven are gathered.
Truth is I had no interest in the Witches' Legend and the PPRC.
It was just killing time.
But Leona was so eager to find more out.
Then one day she found important clues and took me to a door not to be opened.
Ah, awesome!
Ah, Rika, look there!
Awesome, what a splendid safe!
Maybe with lots of gold and silver in it!
It's open!
Ah why, there's no gold or silver.
What are you saying, this will unravel the mystery!
"There are seven witches in Suzaku High."
Let's take a copy.
Light it with the torch.
We must put it away!
We have to, right?
Just hurry up!
And that person was~
The president?
I see.
He prepared this note for us.
Why?
To make us look for the witches.
For a club like ours, this would be the perfect thing to research.
So he easily let us have this room.
He's indeed good at controlling people.
Did he find you in the locked room?
Nope.
Haruma took the notes and left without noticing us.
Hey, show me that piece of paper.
OK!
"The witches can cast their spells with a kiss."
Whoa, sounds awesome! I wish I had the invisibility power!
Hey, isn't it possible for us to be witches too?
Huh?
There are seven of them after all!
The note said it could be any student or teacher, no?
Yeah, you're right!
Let's try!
Huh? You mean kissing?
It's just a small kiss!
This is for the sake of the witches' mystery!
Alright, let's do it!
And after I kissed her~
I'm not invisible,
...neither saw your past nor your future,
...I guess I'm not. How about you?
- Who are you? - Huh?
Leona, what are you saying?
Don't touch me!
And with that, Leona didn't come to school any more.
It's my fault that she became like that, I'm so sorry!
Nah, my sister brought it upon herself.
But I still wish you told me sooner.
But it's such a shock to be forgotten by your friend.
Where did you put the torn piece of paper?
That's right the most crucial part is missing for us! Show us if you have it.
No way I'd have it...it brings bad luck!
Huh?
Don't tell me you threw it away?
Then where is it?
There!
Huh?
Under the ectoplasm.
Whoa!
No way!
Shocking! Was it always here?
Best hide a tree in the forest!
What are you being silly for?
Awesome!
"All your wishes shall be granted!"
So I see. That's why the president wants all seven gathered!
So we can just make a wish before him, no?
Good idea!
Isn't that difficult?
Why?
"The way to summon the immense power is noted in the last volume. To be continued~ "
I think it's best if we don't tell him that the last witch is Rika.
Why?
Wouldn't it be bad if someone like him could summon the immense power?
Indeed, we don't know what he's use it for.
But I want Miyamura to become the next president and change the future.
Did you see anything else apart from Inose being president?
Huh? Nah~
If he becomes the next president and obtains the note, then we could find out how to erase the powers too.
And then the whole Witches' Legend thing will be sealed, and everyone can~
What?
Spirits?
No way.
Ah!
This was left behind.
What is it?
