Gosh!
And then...
HEY! HARUKA!
Y-you're here!
Good grief.
C-Class Rep...? Ma'am?
I have a name, okay?!
We've known each other since elementary school!
Ack! I'm sorry!
This way!
Wait up...
She's too fast...
We finally caught up.
All that running made me hot!
It's all the girls from class.
Everyone but the gal group stuck together, then?
Haruka, what's wrong with Shimazaki and the others?
SUBJUGATED
Something seems off with them...
Staaaaare...
How do I explain this?
Give us the strength!
Please!
Yeah?!
SUBJUGATE
Even I want an explanation!
STAAARE
Life With the Girls
You "subjugated" them?
Mhmm...
NAG
What did you do that for?!
That's supposed to be used on monsters, right?!
I mean, it just sorta happened.
Wish I even knew why...
Staaaaaaare...
Gah! Their stares are ice cold!
One of them has gotta be an ice mage!
Anyway, later!
Not so fast!
Why?
Wait!!
What are you leaving for?!
Aaah!!
Why?
Wait!
Hee-hee
Can I not even go home?
Even though I'm a loner and a shut-in?
Shimazaki, are you okay?
Yeah.
Thank goodness!
I doubt it's worth asking you, so I'm going to have the girls explain things.
Okay...
You sit still!
Huh?
Must have been rough.
Alone again like always.
Guess I oughta practice expanding my house while I wait.
Wonder if I can build a basement?
Hey, I think it's working!
If I just concentrate and pour more magic in...
What are you buried for?!
Gosh! I told you to sit still!
I-I got bored...
What are you, a cat who likes tight spaces?
Shimazaki told me all that happened.
The Gal Leader, you mean?
They said you came to help them and all of us.
Did I? When did I say that?
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
S-sure thing.
Now can I head back home?
Bad timing, much?
Aren't you going to help us?
Bwah!
Sheesh!
What's his deal?
Unbelievable!
"Back home?" To where?
What? To my house.
Why do you have a house here?
Were you born in this world?!
Had time on my hands, so I uhh... built one.
That's not something people do in their spare time!
No way!
That's amazing!
A house?
I'm so jealous!
What do we do?
What do you think?
Shouldn't we, y'know...?
But...
Another girls-only chat?
How many people can you fit?
If you squeezed 6 people on the size of one tatami mat, then maybe 240 or so?
T-two hundred and forty?
More if we move the furniture out.
You have furniture?
And if you add in the kitchen, restroom, and bath...
You have a bath, too?!
What kind of mansion are you living in alone?!
We've been living survival-style out here...
I'm working on a guest room, too...
But maybe I'll just not mention that.
Go for it!
Do it!
Listen, Haruka... This is a lot to ask, but...
Can we stay at your place, even just for the night?
WHAT?!
High school girls at my place?!
The entire class, too?!
Couldn't stay away.
Goodness, girls these days sure are shameless!
You're the only shameless one here!
We'll turn at the next corner.
What corner? Why's there a corner in the woods?
Next we take the right at the intersection.
Now there are intersections?
There aren't convenience stores and stuff, too, right?
I thought about building a drug store but changed my mind.
For the better!
He moves too fast.
I'm beat...
Welcome, weary travelers.
L-look at this place!
No freakin' way!
It's incredible!
Is this even the same world?
I don't believe it!
Are we dreaming?
We must be.
I can't believe this is out in the woods!
Goodbye tent life!
Kinda embarrassed they like it more than the Nerds.
So, that's the kitchen. The restroom's further down.
And over here is the-
Hey! Are you even listening?!
A bath!
Quit stripping!
G-girls!
This is it!
So good!
Talk about refreshing!
This is bad! All their time in the woods turned them into savages!
Alone at last! Free and independent!
Only a real loner can appreciate this!
No way I could stay with a whole herd of school girls.
Bwah! Class Rep?
Haruka, thanks for saving us.
After Oda and his friends left, the other boys did, too.
We'd all been worried.
It's nice to feel at ease again.
Yeah, huh?
A fancy room, food, and a bath has everyone in high spirits!
Girls are quick to bounce back!
I'm supposed to represent them, but I can't do a thing...
You have, though.
You always have.
You protected them all today, too.
I can't do what Oda and the others did, though.
You don't have to. The Nerds were practically raised for the day they got transported here.
They're the weird ones here.
Th-that's not very nice to say about them.
You can't go making comparisons.
Don't judge yourself against guys born for this.
Seriously, they're the weird ones.
Thanks. I feel a little better.
You're really something, Haruka.
Wait, but if you have a house, food, and can beat monsters...
does that make you weirder than Oda and them?
Ouch! Talk about sharp and perceptive!
I'm going to head back. Thanks so much for today.
Goodnight.
Sure thing. G'night.
Sorry Oda...
Gotta strip down...
Sorry, Class Rep. Don't think I'm getting any sleep...
Good morning.
Breakfast is ready. Please wake up.
What's with this situation?
She an old neighborhood friend?
A cute younger sister?
Not like I have either!
Who is she?!
Uhh, I kinda wanna get some more sleep. Maybe another half hour...?
You have no intention of getting up, do you?
Uhh, how does she expect me to get up with her on top of me?
S-so, what's for breakfast?
Mushrooms and grilled fish.
FISH?!
A-are you all right?
It's so good! When was the last time I ate fish?!
Uhh, what's with the waterworks?
Haven't you been living in front of a river?
Yeah!
And I spent every day watching the fish... and eating mushrooms!
What? Why didn't you catch any?
I mean, they're fast and kinda slimy!
Why the sudden girly-side?!
Lemme ask you, then. You got an easy way to catch 'em?
Here goes. Make sure you watch.
Whoa! Do it again! Just once more!
What?
Come on! What's the harm? I'm begging!
Fine. Watch close, then.
Now pardon me.
Huh?
If I use my Packing skill to wrap up this lightning magic...
PACKING
Plop!
I caught some!
Lightning Magic
And got myself lightning magic while I was at it!
Why? What about my magic?
Hey now, Haruka. What did you do?
PACKING
Packs magic into various things
for a wide range of effects.
I got myself some lightning magic.
By using my Packing skill on magic, I can get whatever elemental magic it is... I guess?
What? That sounds pretty overpowered.
I guess it's the combined effect of Packing and Master of None?
Even the worst skills have some use, apparently.
It's incredible if you can get new magic just like that!
Nah, I just got stuck with all the worst leftover skills.
You all got to pick the better skills, right?
I mean, I almost peed myself at that magic!
All that crackling energy!
Haruka...?
The water's so nice!
Here! Take this!
Hey!
So, have you decided what you're all going to do?
Well, we haven't really come to an agreement, but we're thinking of heading for town.
Yeah? Guess the Gals did say they were gonna hunt down the Nerds.
Nuh-uh! I said we wanted to thank them and apologize!
Settle down...
Who says we're hunting 'em?
I was thinking we should level up before heading for town.
True. You're gonna need a few if you wanna hunt down the Nerds.
Why are you so fixed on us hunting them?!
Would you listen?!
Well, if that's your plan, I'll help out.
Thanks, Haruka!
We won't be hunting Oda and company, though.
Aww... I wanted to see the clash between the Nerds and the Gals with their OP skills.
Save that for some other world!
Now then, before we start leveling, I'd like to know where everyone's at.
I'm level 19.
I'm 17.
20 here.
21.
16, I think.
16 is their lowest?! They're so high-level!
I'm still only level 7...
Well? Are we good?
When are we starting?
I'm tired already.
I'm bored.
How much longer?
C'mon...
I don't think these OP girls even need me...
Talk about timing!
Attention please!
I'd like for you all to take down these kobolds, here!
It's an easy group of three low level ones.
Kobold A
Kobold B
Kobold C
Let the battle begin!
Hah! Betcha thought we couldn't handle it.
One of our spikes will take 'em all out.
Come on, now.
Watch and learn.
Well then, let's get Kobold-ing!
That was pathetic!
You didn't say they'd bite!
I didn't know they were so quick!
What do we do?
I don't wanna fight!
They're too fast...
I know my magic tent can expand and all...
But what's going on here?
An after-battle review.
Why in my tent?
All right!
They won't get us next time!
Stinking Kobolds.
They better be ready!
Glad that's over. I like their motivation and all, but...
Hm?
Umm... Uhh... Well...
It's that girl from this morning again...
Sorry for earlier.
I was testing you.
Huh?
When the boys attacked, they almost got me. It was traumatizing...
I was worried you might attack us, too.
These girls have been through a lot, huh?
But you gave us a place to stay, food to eat, and even taught us how to fight.
You're nothing like those other boys.
I-I'll come wake you again tomorrow when the fish is ready!
Okay, Fish Girl!
Don't call me that!
Mmm! Another delicious fish thanks to Fish Girl!
Wanna, like, go get payback on those Kobolds?
Let's do it!
After getting pummeled yesterday?
Somebody stop them!
Okay! Time for revenge!
Let's get 'em!
Girls! We need to train, first.
Seriously?
Drats...
That's our Class Rep! Nice save!
And so they began training.
Go!
Okay!
I can't!
Gal Leader fled the battle.
Nooo!
You won't beat me!
Vice Rep C was defeated.
Does she not think this is a bit much?
Volleyball Girl A was defeated.
Fish Girl was defeated.
Vice Rep B was defeated.
And so...
...the day for payback was here.
Now we're mad
Now we're mad!
Whoa now, are they okay? Can they handle this?
Count me out. I'm tired.
Some of them are already down and out and sleeping!
My stomach hurts.
Mine, too.
What?!
Some of 'em are even faking sick to get out!
This is bad! The Class Rep's training is no good!
Ah! Look out!
I won't lose this time!
Nice block!
I'm gonna find Oda and the gang...
...and tell 'em I'm sorry!
Take this!
Hiyah!
Heck yeah!
We won!
We did it!
We got our revenge!
All that training worked!
Girls!
Yay!
Yay! Yay!
Yay!
Phew, you had me worried.
But you handled that no sweat.
Hmm?
That was a good fight.
We won't lose anymore!
That's it, I'm done!
We won!
Aren't these kobolds cute?
Can we keep them?
Well, now I can get back to my loner life of freedom and-
Thanks, Haruka!
Now we can head to town together with you.
Huh? When did I say I was going?
Together!
Okay, girls!
Do you have your fish?
Yup!
Do you have your mushrooms?
Yup!
C'mon, you can fit more!
Hmm?
I really can't.
You can fit more in there, look.
I can't!
It's full enough!
This isn't some all-you-can-pack deal!
Fine, then. This one stays behind.
I have to stay here alone?
Take her with you!
Now then. Let's head for town!
Yeah!
I can't wait!
I wanna do laundry!
I want some meat.
I'll bet they have exotic fish.
So...
What is it, Haruka?
There's no telling what might happen out there.
Let's keep our wits about us!
Oww...
I don't have any skills like that!
Don't kill me, please!
St-stop...
