Even your cold stare is safe under my care
願いは緋の螺旋に 舞い降りてく
Negai wa hi no rasen ni maioriteku
My wish dances down in a scarlet spiral
UTW presents
ちっぽけなモノ 映さない空
Chippoke na mono utsusanai sora
The sky does not reflect the meek
独り走れば 怖くなかった

But I was not afraid if I ran alone
ここで明日を裏切れば

If I betray my future here
もう何処にも行かれない

I will have no place to go

I wander the city, lost in my sins

The light is all I long for

I will keep firing my flames at you
Tokyo Butei High Second Girls Dormitory
Seriously.
I can't believe she called me out here without explaining why.
Why would Aria want me to visit the girls' dorm?
Sheesh.
Hey, I'm here.
Geez, you're late!
But I forgive you.
Kinji, which of these do you like?
W-What do you mean?
Geez.
I'm asking you which cosplay you want me to wear.
Kinji!
Kinji, prepare yourself!
Riko.
B-Bingo! You did it!
Very well done!
You're exactly right! I'm Riko-rin!
I'm back, Kinji!
And why are you here?
Hey, Ki-kun.
Let's do dirty things.

Ahh, it's Ki-kun's smell!
Riko likes it! A lot!
Riko just couldn't forget about Ki-kun.
So, Ki-kun, don't think about anything and just accept Riko's love.
Your jokes have gotten better.
You're mean, Ki-kun.
Riko's feelings for you are no joke.
Riko is a bad girl.
Riko will steal you for herself even if you belong to Aria.
But Riko, you've also stolen my brother.
You still think Riko killed him?
What do you mean?
Exactly what I said.
Any proof that my brother is still alive?
Hysteria Savant Syndrome.
Riko didn't kill anyone.
Which is why the nickname "Butei Killer" is wrong.
Alright, this is where the route splits!
If you take Riko in, Riko'll tell you all about your brother after the event scene!
About my brother...
Ki-kun, make Riko your girlfriend.
You can do anything you want to Riko anywhere you want.
That way, you can enter HSS, or Hysteria Mode, anytime you want.
But Riko hates harem routes.
Don't you steal my slave!
Wait, another heroine barges in during the event scene?
You descendant of a filthy family of thieves!
Don't you steal my property!
Oh? Weren't you also watching what was happening?
Ki-kun was only three seconds away from indulging himself in Riko's breasts.
I-Indulging...
No man can resist the temptation of a girl's breasts.
Oh, but this doesn't concern you.
I-I'll blow a hole through you!
Riko was about to have her first ever event, but you ruined it.
Riko's really mad! Rawr!
A flash grenade?!
W-Where'd Riko go?!
I didn't hear the sound of the door opening.
Then...
I'm surprised you knew where I was.
I heard from Mutou and his friends.
They said that I called you out somewhere.
And then you went to Informa and tracked me down using the surveillance cameras, right?
Riko!
What a wonderful night.
There's a guy and the smell of gunpowder.
Riko loves them both!
Mine Riko Lupin the 4th!
I'll arrest you this time!
You'll atone for my mother's false charges!
Go ahead and try, limey.
You're one to talk, froggy!
Anyway, I can't believe you just came back like nothing happened!
Aren't you a hijack criminal?
You can't even figure that out?
You really are useless, Holmes!
What did you say?!
I don't want you telling me that, ugly Lupin!
What was that, kid Butei?!
Shut up, you whimsical attention whore!
You shut up, flat-chested world record holder!
Keep eating those peach buns and get really fat!
You naïve and stubborn violent woman!
Quit doing cosplay that looks terrible on you!
You lying, bomb demon pervert girl!
Shut up, you're about as tall as the ground!
What? Your looks are well below average!
Argh, I'm so mad!
K-K-Kinji, what are you doing?
It's so sad to watch two adorable kittens fight like that.
It's not something I enjoy.
Aria, you shouldn't fight Riko.
W-Why?!
Riko probably made a plea bargain.
That's also why she can return to Butei High.
You got it!
Ki-kun, you really do understand Riko!
Lies! Do you really expect me to fall for that?
But if it's true, and if you harm Riko without a proper reason, you'll commit a crime.
And if we're both arrested, we won't be able to clear Kanae-san's false charges.
B-But you framing my mother is a different matter!
I'll have you testify in the Supreme Court!
Sure.
You'll do it even if I have to force you...
I'll testify.
Really?
You love your mother, don't you, Aria?
Riko also loves her mother, so Riko understands.
Sorry, Aria.
Riko is... Riko is...
Mother...
Wait, Riko!
Why are you crying?
Come on, tell me.
Riko got expelled from the EU because of Ki-kun and Aria.
Expelled?
What's more, Vlad took Riko's treasure from her because she lost!
Vlad? Do you mean the EU's No. 2, Vlad of Endless Sin?
Yeah. Riko wants to retrieve her treasure from Vlad.
So please help Riko!
Well, what do you want us to do?
Ki-kun, Aria.
Together with Riko...
...let's become thieves!
Ahh, Riko-chan!
Welcome back!
This is so cute! Amazing!
This is my newest item!
I want it too!
I know, right?
Argh, she pisses me off!
I wanna send her to a hell full of blown holes!
I don't really get what you mean, but give it up.
So are you okay with this?
She's asking us to be her accomplices in a robbery, you know.
Of course I'm not okay with it!
It would also mean teaming up with a descendant of Lupin.
But current circumstances call for it.
This could be my only chance to approach Vlad of Endless Sin.
We might get a criminal record for theft.
There's no need to worry about that.
If we're stealing from the EU, we won't be prosecuted even if we're arrested.
Why is that?
And what is this EU anyway?
It's about time you told me.
I can't.
You can't even tell your partner?
I can't because you're my partner.
Well? What will you do?
Will you assist in a robbery?
I guess.
Why are you helping Riko?
Well...
It's none of your business.
So you're helping her because she's cute and shed a few tears asking for help?
I already said it's none of your business.
I know.
Know what?
I roughly know what's going on even if you don't tell me.
Riko's popular with the guys because she's petite, right?
She also has b-b...
...b-breasts!
Butei fall to three things: darkness, poison, and women!
That night, in that room,
R-R-Riko did something weird to you and you became her slave, right?!
Huh?
So? What scandalous things did she do to you?!
Tell me absolutely everything!
W-What's with you?
Why would you want to know that?
Shut up! Shut up, you horny Butei!
Listen, I don't know what you saw exactly, but Riko and I didn't do anything.
You've got it wrong.
Lies!
W-W-Weren't the two of you in b-b-bed together?!
She threw me onto the bed against my will.
Then why were you near the bed in the first place?
Well...
See? I bet you were expecting dirty things to happen!
You got all horny for Riko just because she has big boobs!
You're horrible!
Why are you angry about this anyway?
Even if you're right and something did happen, it's none of your business!
It is my business!
You belong only to me!
Riko's definitely tricking you.
This was written in the book Shirayuki was carrying around recently.
G-Girls can't get all clingy with a guy they really like unless they're dating!
You're not making sense.
I'm saying that Riko is trying to turn you into a member of her future team of thieves!
I can't forgive her for snatching my property.
It's also unthinkable for a slave to serve someone other than his master!
I'll say this again.
You belong only to me, okay?!
O-Okay.
I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again!
I'll blow holes through you and turn you into a human lotus root if you cheat on me again!
Seriously, you were flirting with Shirayuki day and night when she was here.
What's more, you even k-k-kissed her.
What on earth is wrong with you? Honestly...

We will now begin the biology test.
You will be shown a video on genetics.
Genetics
After that, simply write your answers in the boxes on the sheets provided.
Sayonaki-sensei is so handsome!
Look over here, my prince!
So handsome!
Ki-kun.
Riko?! Why are you...
Riko's in Inquesta too, you know.
Riko will take tests if it means earning credits.
No, I'm asking why you're sitting next to me.
Genes.
Children inherit their parents' characteristics through genes.
Let's learn about that laws that govern it.
Hey, Ki-kun.
Touch Riko.
We're in the middle of a test, you know!
The thrill is what it's all about.
Didn't Riko tell you?
Riko is a bad girl.
Ki-kun, it's not good to resist your urges.
Stroke Riko's head.
L-Like I will, idiot!
If you don't, Riko'll scream and tell everyone you're doing weird things to Riko.
Riko really will scream.
Three... two...
Okay, okay!
That kinda hurt.
Be a little more gentle.
Slower.
Yes, slower...
This is bad.
Huh? Where's my pencil?
If you're looking for your lead pencil, Riko hid it!
When?! Give it back!
Help yourself.
You're unbelievable...
Come on, or you'll lose out on the credits!
By the way, Riko isn't wearing a bra today.
I didn't need to know that!
I-Is this it?
That's not it.
Ki-kun, you're more daring than you look.
T-That surprised Riko a little, too.
Now, pull yourself together and try again!
Why do I have to do this anyway?
This is training for you to enter Hysteria Mode when you need to.
It's necessary for us to pull off our big robbery.
Sensei, I've answered all the questions.
Bye!
Tohyama-kun, could you please come to the staff room afterwards?
Y-Yes.
Don't be mad, Ki-kun.
At long last, we'll be having our meeting tomorrow to plan our grand robbery!
I'm not mad.
I've given up.
We're sharing an umbrella! Riko's so happy!
It should rain more often.
But, Ki-kun, you're actually really caring when you're alone with someone else.
You were so gentle in bed the other day too!
Who are you?
S-Shirayuki!
Kin-chan, stand back!
Sheesh, you've disturbed our sweet time together! Who are you?
I'm Hotogi Shirayuki of the SSR!
Sharing an umbrella within the school grounds is enviable...
I mean, disgraceful!
Can't you see that Kin-chan doesn't like it?
What's wrong?
Ki-kun and Riko-rin are boyfriend and girlfriend.
It's no surprise that we'd share an umbrella!
Boyfriend and girlfriend?
A lot of weird girls appear at this time of year, don't you agree, Kin-chan?
Mine-san, now's the time to take back what you said.
Kin-chan and I have shared a kiss before.
Oh, just a kiss?
Riko has already reached second base!
Second base?
Second base!
W-Wait, don't jump the gun, Shirayuki!
Riko, don't say things that are easily misunderstood either!
S-So you're the second cheater.
Here I go! I won't let you have Kin-chan!
Come. Riko'll make short work of you.
Ooh. Yuki-chan, it's black!
That doesn't quite fit your name!
TL Note: Shirayuki translates to "snow white".
See you, Ki-kun!
I'll text you the time and location of our date tomorrow later!
Please let me die!
I'm supposed to be a model student as the student council president,
but I'm wearing such provocative black underwear within the school grounds...
I-I can't get married anymore!
I can't get married to you anymore, Kin-chan!
First-Aid Room
Hmm? The nurse isn't here.
We should try somewhere else.
Y-You're right.
Huh?
What's wrong?
It won't open. We can't go out.
What?!
Wait, are your legs okay?
I brought you here because you said you couldn't stand up from the shock...
No, they're okay now thanks to you.
Thank you so much.
Then that's good.
Well then, I'll call the guys over at Amdo since we can't get out...
I'm sowwie!
Hey! What are you doing, Shirayuki?!
Give it back!
Hey, what's wrong?
I had no choice.
It's all because Kin-chan-sama found another mistress...
So even if it's just this time, you'll belong only to me, Kin-chan...
W-What?
I'll just have to create a fait accompli before I return to the Hotogi.
One that would best even that cheater, a stunning fait accompli...
...fait accompli... fait accompli...
Hey, Shirayuki.
Y-Yes!
Give me my phone back so we can get out-
More importantly, Kin-chan-sama.
There are two important things I need to tell you.
What are they?
I'll listen, but give me my phone back afterwards.
O-Okay!
Firstly, I investiga... I mean, I predicted your future.
It says that you'll meet a wolf, a demon, and a ghost.
Very soon, too.
I'll meet a wolf...
A demon...
And a ghost?
Haven't I already met them?
Secondly...
Tonight, I'll be returning to the Hotogi for a while.
I broke restrictions during the Durandal incident.
A lot of things also seem to be happening over there too.
I have to go there for about a month...
I see.
Go enjoy your visit home.
That's all I have to say.
B-By the way, isn't this room pretty cold?
Ah, the heater's broken!
I know, Kin-chan!
Since it's so cold, we need to make sure we don't lose our strength until help arrives!
Hey, I'll call for help, so just return my cellphone-
H-Hey, Shirayuki?!
Why are you taking your clothes off?!
People warm each other with their naked bodies when stranded on a snowy mountain!
This place isn't a snowy mountain!
What's with this power?
You're using a Hotogi art, aren't you?!
I don't care if I can no longer be a Miko!
The Hotogi don't matter!
What's wrong with you ?!
Let go! Hey!
Kin-chan-sama, I beg you!
Before I leave this place...
Fait accompli... fait accompli... fait accompli!
Ow...
U-Um...
U-Um... don't stare like that...
But feel free to look to your heart's content if you'd like!
K-Kin-chan-sama, please continue.
Please, Kin-chan-sama...
I get it.
Huh? What do you mean?
Kin-chan-sama, will you really...
I get it, so don't stare at me like that.
I'm pretty embarrassed myself.
Look down.
Down!
Y-Yes! Woof!
Please let me know once you've finished undressing!
And then... we'll create a fait accompli!
Um... Kin-chan, are you done yet?
Kin-chan-sama?
Kin-chan?!
Kin-chan, we'll continue this when I'm back from the Hotogi!
It's a promise!
This is definitely the place.
Why did Riko have to pick here of all places for the meeting?
We should brace ourselves just in case.
Now.
Yeah.
Sir! Madam!
Welcome back!

TL Note: The entire preview is a giant wordplay on the otaku holy land Akihabara (literally Autumn Leaf Fields). "Haru" is spring, "Natsu" is summer, and "Fuyu" is winter.
Hey, Kinji.
Are Haruhabara, Natsuhabara, and Fuyuhabara close by?
What did you say?
Shouldn't they also have spring, summer, and winter if they have autumn?
Since this place is full of electronic, anime, and manga goods.
I know! Haruhabara is a district of peach buns, leopard-lions, and English tea!
Isn't that just your dream world?
