Due to the first typhoon of the year,
the class trip to Destinyland was canceled.
No
I WANT YOU TO BEAR MY HEIR
AWESOME GAME
What was that just now? An illusion?
I Want You to Bear My Heir.
New fan disc, Sengoku Koi Emaki: I Want You to Bear My Heir
That title is insane.
By "heir," does that mean...
I guess it means exactly what it sounds like.
Well, it is a game for all ages,
so even if there was a scene where they do it, I'm sure it'd just fade to black.
But fan discs are usually a reward catering to otome gamers' every desire,
allowing them to get married and enjoy life as newlyweds.
So it seems likely that Tanaka-sensei will sleep with Hitotose.
- And the probability? - 100%
Yeah, well, but it's just happening on-screen,
so it's no big deal, Murai.
Don't underestimate this game.
- Little Sister, do your thing. - Understood.
Sengoku Koi Emaki is a hit series with six titles including this new one.
Its success is due to the outstanding story.
In the otome game industry,
it is said that every work by this writer is guaranteed to be a hit.
They have even written scripts for historical dramas.
In this fan disc, the real challenge would be not sleeping with the characters.
People like you think that otome games are just romance games for women,
but don't trash them without knowing a thing about them.
You don't have to like or understand them,
but you do have to respect it as art that someone devoted their life to creating.
If you can't do that, you have no right to judge anything
Keep that in mind
I will keep that in mind.
Now what, Murai?
It's good that you got to eat her cheeks and all,
but if they [bleep], it would be a huge win for him.
There seems to be no way to stop it.
You'll have to buy every copy so you're the only one who owns it.
With your family's money, you could do it.
- That's it. - What?
- It was a joke. - That's it, Hirai
No, that's not it
I'll own it.
This time, I will not simply imitate Hitotose,
I will absorb Hitotose.
I will possess Hitotose
Visual for reference only.
Hey Does that mean you'll sleep with Hitotose too?
I won't do it
I went along with it last time, but I'm not doing the whole heir thing
- Kiri... - Kiwi.
I'll stick around as long as you want, Murai.
I'm ready to give birth to around 5,000 babies.
Huh? Then I'm giving birth too. Don't leave me out.
Hitomi, Yuuka, when will the game be released?
Next month.
Preorder complete.
I'm off to school.
Have a good day
You forgot your bag.
Okay, time for homeroom.
Everyone, put on your clothes and take a seat.
And no fireworks in the classroom.
Huh?
Seated.
Why is everyone seated properly?
Huh?
Right. This is the college prep course.
The culture seems a bit different from the art department or Course B.
Yoshiki Yamakado, 32 years old. Head teacher.
Substitute teacher for class 2-1.
Looks like you were all seated on time. It's actually kind of scary.
Can a couple of you stand up and walk around?
- Yamakado-sensei - Yes?
- Where is Tanaka-sensei? - She's off.
What? When will she come back?
Calm down.
I want to smack her as much as you do.
Don't lump me in with you
My bad.
Anyway, Tanaka-sensei's taking time off and I forget when she'll be back.
That should be enough information for you.
What's the reason for her paid leave? A family visit? You know, don't you?
Look, you think I'm a CIA agent or something?
No, not really.
Yeah? That's a huge relief.
Well, I'll get out of here once I finish reading the announcements.
Just bear with me for about 30 seconds.
Man, what the hell?
Just because Tanaka's taking time off,
that guy is totally badgering me. Scary
Wait, come to think of it, Tanaka's been acting kind of...
Oh, wait a minute...
Yamakado-sensei. 30 seconds have passed.
Without you reading a single announcement.
Well, never mind.
There're no announcements anyway.
By the way, Murai, you got a minute after this?
The fun has arrived.
The fun has arrived
What did I take paid leave for, you ask?
Why, to indulge in the pleasure of this game, of course
I don't care if the delivery lady has figured out that I'm an otaku or not.
She and I will both die eventually.
All earthly things are transitory.
So just for now, I want to feel this flicker of life.
In all my life as an otaku, how long have I waited for this moment?
I want to sing a song of appreciation to all the gods around the world
Now, hit it
COMMON ROOM
So, you wanted to speak with me?
I'm going to ask you a fairly pointed question.
- Do you like chunky sweet red bean paste? - Yes.
Oh? Sounds like we wouldn't get along. No, not that.
What is it? Have I done something wrong?
No, this is just my well-honed intuition.
Are you and Tanaka a thing?
Excuse me?
Sorry if I'm wrong.
But once you've lived a few decades, you can tell that kind of stuff.
Or is it just me?
You're totally wrong.
Then why are you so upset about her leave?
Because I asked her to review my project
based on my personal research on the history of Japanese food culture.
I see.
That's an excellent excuse considering I asked you out of the blue.
Why are you so certain it's a lie?
Because your shifty eyes are fluttering like a butterfly's wings.
But you have no evidence.
Not yet. That's why I asked you here.
Before you misbehave and leave any evidence.
Lock up those hormonal teenage emotions in the prison of your mind.
Please, wait a minute--
As a minor, you will be protected no matter what,
but Tanaka will be done for.
She will be thrown into an actual prison.
I don't understand any of this.
Who do you think I am?
I may have been chosen by dart throw, but I'm still your head teacher.
Chairman.
Whether it's a pesky brat like you
or Tanaka, with her attitude unbecoming of a new teacher,
my job is to protect you.
My next class is about to start, so please excuse me.
One more thing.
Tell the idiot in Course B you hang out with
to stop watching porn during class.
My head is pounding.
What's wrong? You on your period or something?
Seriously, shut up already.
Yamakado-sensei might have noticed.
Noticed what? You mean me watching porn in class?
- He's definitely noticed that. - Oh, man.
What he might have noticed is my feelings for Sensei.
In fact, he's almost certain of it.
Oh, man, you're screwed. Yamakado... The classical literature teacher?
The calligraphy club advisor and head teacher,
aka Hades, God of the Underworld. In other words, you're dead.
But wait, he's not completely onto you, is he?
He's got no proof, right?
Right, but I had super shifty eyes when I tried to make an excuse.
You won't like this, Hirai, but I've got a good idea.
That's okay. I'm so used to that kind of stuff from you.
That's not okay at all Screw you
Why do I have to lend her to Murai to play his girlfriend?
Hey, I don't belong to you. And I'm not an object to be lent.
But are you actually okay with this? He rejected you, remember?
I don't mind.
When your friends are in trouble, it's natural to help them.
Well, I'm not okay with this
I want to help Murai out, sure, but I love you Yayoi, you're adorable
I want to go out with you and do naughty things
How do you think I feel about you doing that with my best friend?
Oh, come on. I don't know what you're imagining,
but all Murai has to do is show Hades that he has a girlfriend.
None of your delusions are gonna happen.
Shut up. Your smile is sus as hell.
I don't think this is gonna work.
Besides, I don't want to act lovey-dovey with anyone other than Sensei.
Murai, what are you babbling about?
I don't think you understand the situation you're in,
so let me explain.
You're facing execution.
If you don't want the person you love
to be beheaded, you'd better do it.
- Do it. - Yes.
We used to play make-believe when we were kids, remember?
I was the mom and you were the dad.
This is the same thing, just in front of others. Easy, isn't it?
Yes, I am willing to do that.
Then I wanna be the dad's coworker who moonlights as an assassin.
Then I'm gonna be the mom's secret lover.
Okay, let's get this farce over and done with
so we can go to Hirai's and play the otome game
Yes, sir
Excuse me
Who're you? That uniform isn't from our school. Are you an intruder?
Could you tell me where the class 2-1 classroom is?
I'm looking for my boyfriend.
It's on the second floor of this building.
But don't high school girls these days use phones to communicate?
Uh, I buried my phone in the ground by mistake.
Thank you for your kindness.
Hey, Yayo-chan. What are you doing here?
Oh, gosh You caught me I was trying to surprise you
I didn't expect you to come all the way out here without telling me.
You're more unpredictable than stock prices.
Why don't we go to a Seattle-style coffee shop
and discuss the random walk hypothesis?
What even is that? I don't get it, but it sounds super fun
Let's go.
Well, then, Yamakado-sensei.
As you can see, we're totally lovey-dovey.
Excuse us
Yeah, just get out of here. You guys make me sick.
- Me too. - Awesome.
They're doing great. Let's go to your place.
You go on ahead.
That went well, didn't it?
Yeah, not bad for improv.
Thanks for coming all this way, Yayo-chan.
I don't have many friends who are girls, so I'm glad you came.
No problem. Call me anytime.
Well, I'm off to the gym.
What are you doing here?
I'm playing the mom's secret lover, right?
Wait, no.
Come on, are you trying to kill me?
What?
Why do you hate me?
At this rate, I'm going to die of abstinence.
Is that so?
If that's what you want, why not do it with some random girl?
I'm not about to give myself up to you just because you're good-looking.
I like smarter and more elegant men.
- You mean, Murai? - No.
- Then, Kiriyama? - No
What don't you like about me?
You're dumb
You think all girls are supposed to fall for you.
That's just plain dumb.
Anyway, I'm going to the gym.
Thanks to you, I feel like I can bench press 200 kilos today.
I've just run into another stupid high school love story
and my hit points have been reduced to zero...
That said, this is all quite interesting.
That blondie, so sly and slick, using a fake lover, what a cheeky trick.
By Yoshiki.
What the hell is going on here?
Murai in Love
Hirai's mom, Midori.
Murai, Kiri-chan, help yourselves
- Okay Thank you kindly, Ms. Midori - Thank you.
How are your dads, Murai, Kiriyama?
Mine's doing well. Thank you for asking.
My dad's great too.
So great I need a tranquilizer gun to keep him contained
How are Hirai's sisters doing?
They're doing great
Non-chan should be home soon.
I'm home.
Hey, it's been a while.
Nozomu Hirai, 19 years old. Third daughter of the Hirai family.
It's been a while, Nozomu.
You're cute as usual, Murai.
- Hey, Kiri. Not gonna say hi to me? - Hi.
Hey, what's with the attitude? You want me to kiss you?
Stop it, you idiot
Speaking of idiots, where is that idiot?
He hasn't come home yet.
He's probably pestering some poor girl.
Leave him alone.
You know what, though, he hasn't brought any girls home lately, has he?
- I'm home - Oh, hi, dear.
Starting today, I'm going to aim for the University of Tokyo
I hate to say this in front of your parents, but that's impossible.
He's right. You can't even memorize the eight times table.
Have you lost your mind because you got rejected by a girl?
Hey. Shut up, you self-proclaimed C-cup.
Do you want to have your skull bashed in, you brat?
I'm very sorry.
What? You're not a C-cup?
You want your skull bashed in too?
I'm very sorry.
Who cares about Nozomu's bra size?
More important--
I'm very sorry.
Midori, I don't need dinner tonight.
What?
- Call her "Mom" - Shut up, you old geezer
What's wrong with you, Mari-chan?
Quit calling me that
Come on, Hirai Did you forget we're playing that game today?
That's right, Hirai
I'd feel uncomfortable playing this particular game without you
Sorry, but I have to study.
You guys go ahead and make heirs in that game of yours.
What kinda game are you guys playing?
ORION
What the hell is this game?
"O thread of life, if thou must break, then break."
"Yet if thou endure,
my strength to bear this burden may wane."
Tanaka-style modern translation.
If my life is going to end eventually, let it end now
If I continue to live like this,
I'll lose control of my feelings for Hitotose and it'll end in catastrophe
This is gonna be the death of me. My god.
What a thing they have made What have they done to my life?
I totally slept with him. This is bad. This is insane.
♪ The Black Ships have come ♪
♪ Perry has come ♪
♪ My heart opens in a second ♪
So, this is how the Meiji Restoration began.
What am I saying?
God, it's such a massive rush of dopamine and serotonin
that I can't even come up with a decent metaphor for it.
I could take on the Kurobe Dam right now. Bring it on, Kurobe Dam
Wait, what am I talking about?
Oh, I feel terrible. I'm really sick. I need to sleep. I just gotta sleep.
I'll post my death notice and then go to bed.
Then I can forget everything I just saw--
HADES GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD MOBILE
The head teacher? Why?
Did I do something wrong? I'm sure I did, but what?
- Yes. - Hello?
- Are you at home now? - Yes, I am.
I stole your address off your personal profile.
I'm parked in front of your apartment right now.
I'm sure this is freaking you out, but just come on out.
I need to talk to you.
- Wait, what? Are you kidding me? - Have you eaten?
I'll treat you.
I'll be out in five minutes.
Kitty, don't look at me like that. I'll lose myself.
Or are you ready to wrestle with me naked?
Seriously, what the hell is up with him?
Which one does it say is the right choice?
The bottom one.
OSSU YOU'RE ON
Why the hell is this the right one?
What is this, Dragon[bleep]?
PASS
I feel like I'm seeing something I shouldn't.
What position would you prefer?
What is this jerk asking?
Hey, sorry to interrupt, but what's eight times six?
48.
You too What are you even asking?
You know I don't know the eight times table.
Kiri, which one should I choose?
Just pick the weird one. That's probably the right choice
Both are weird
Let's see. Go with this one
- That was fast. - Thank you for waiting.
Thanks for this. Let's go. I'm starving
Seriously, you've got some attitude for a newbie.
Oh, sorry.
- I really haven't eaten anything today. - Fine, fine.
Boy, I feel like I could eat anything and everything right now.
Though is the first time we've eaten together.
Wait a minute.
I was freaking out and agreed to come without thinking things through,
but now that I think about it, this is the first time
I've had dinner alone with a man, except for Mao.
Oh, crap, I'm getting nervous.
I wasn't thinking at all,
so I came out in my pajamas with no makeup on.
I'm not even wearing a bra.
Guess it's fine. I mean, it's just the head teacher.
This woman...
She's gone silent all of a sudden. What's her deal?
What happened to the dumb expression she had on her face?
Now her face is like,
"I've never had dinner alone with a guy before."
Wait... I'm not interested at all, so I didn't pay any attention,
but she's in her pajamas with no makeup on.
How ballsy can she be?
I mean, what the hell is "happiness"? I'll kick your ass.
Hey, do you drink?
Oh, yes, I love to drink. I recently got into Japanese sake.
Well then, let's go to a restaurant that serves good sake.
And drop the "this is so awkward" act already.
You look like it's your first time drinking alone with a guy.
If it's your first time, why would you come out dressed like that?
What? How did you know? This is my first time.
Hang on...
- How old are you again? - I'm 24.
Oh, okay.
This is so awkward
What is this?
Why should I care about someone like Tanaka?
Don't give me that innocent look when you're dressed like that.
You know, I do appreciate you taking me to a good sake place,
but you won't be able to drink, right? Since you're driving...
Right. I'm here on a mission.
Don't mind me, drink as much as you want.
Then get drunk and spill the beans.
That you and Murai are a thing.
She's the nail and I'm the hammer.
As a teacher, I'll hammer the nail back to where it belongs.
At least, that's what I'm hoping for, but is it really going to be that easy?
BAR
I know it's crazy for me to say this to you of all people,
but I just need someone to hear it.
You see, I finally crossed the line.
Hey What's wrong with you?
Excuse me, we need a rag over here
Is she an idiot?
Are you okay?
Wiping my mouth with a cleaning rag. You have astounding common sense.
Anyway, who did you cross the line with?
Oh? You wanna know?
Well, there's no way I'm telling you
I'd rather die than have my partner revealed to the world
I bet. Then, can I ask just one question?
What?
Is he blond?
Huh?
How do you know that? Did I say something 'cause I'm drunk?
She's guilty.
No... Seriously? Just let me die
Tanaka, thanks. It's good that you were so forthcoming.
We'll have a long talk about this when you sober up. So--
Excuse me Another cup of cold sake
In fact, bring me the whole bottle I wanna forget everything
Check, please.
