Thirty years ago, the world was struck by an unknown phenomenon known as a spacequake.
The beings who may or may not have intentionally caused these spacequakes
were called Spirits.
But their existence was hidden from the world.
And now I, Itsuka Shidou, am...
Dig in, Shido!
No need to hold back. Have a bite!
Episode 1
The 7th Spirit
Uh... What is this?
Foolish question.
It is a hot pot.
We all wanted to make you something, so we made this.
Thanks, but...
What'd you put in here to make it this color?
We used only the finest ingredients.
Each of us put in our favorite foods.
W-Wow, isn't that nice, Shidou?
They made this delicious-looking dish all for you.
Get it while it's hot!
You should add something too, Kotori!
Add the final touch to complete this masterpiece!
Kotori's put her food in too!
Now it'll be even tastier.
Wait...
How is it, Shido?
It's actually not bad.
We did it!
I'm so happy!
Thank you all!
Your fried chicken really pulls it together, Yuzuru.
Objection: It was your karaage, Kaguya.
It rounded out the flavor.
Huh?! It was all you, Yuzuru.
Assertion: No, it was thanks to you, Kaguya.
You two are as close as ever.
Let's just call it a miraculous collaboration of everyone's ingredients.
The show I saw on TV was right. You can put anything in a hot pot and it'll taste good.
Yeah, the color of this hot pot wouldn't make you think that.
I wish Miku could've made it too.
Work is work though.
Darling!
Did you call for me?
Hi!
Hearing your lonely calls, the Spirit Idol, Izayoi Miku, has arrived to brighten your days!
Miku?!
Then who's that singing?
It's a recording that looks like it's live.
So why are you all here? Is this some kind of party?
Oh, now that I think about it, today might have been my birthday!
I'll take a passionate kiss from all of you as a present!
What are you doing?!
Protection: Kaguya barrier.
Wh-What?!
Stop, Miku! Get back into the TV!
Yuzuru!
Miku!
What are you doing?!
Stop!
Oh, so that's why you were all eating a hot pot.
Well in any case, I'm glad you're here.
Be careful, it's hot.
Wow, what a poisonous color.
Let's have a taste!
Hot!
Are you okay?! I warned you.
Darling, I think I burnt my lips.
I don't think they'll heal without a kiss.
What are you doing, Miku?!
Burns don't heal like that!
Intense pain:
Shidou, I've burnt my lips as well.
Please administer treatment.
Wha— That's not fair!
Ow!
Shidou-kun, Yoshino too...
Shido,
I accidentally burnt my lips too!
Seriously, you guys...
Onii-chan,
I burned myself too!
Why the sudden change to white ribbon?!
Are you all okay?!
I'll make you all feel better!
Hey!
Origami?!
I made a hot pot too.
You too?
Th-Thanks...
Stewed soft turtle shell, scorpion, parts of a fur seal, and redworm.
Give me your impressions later tonight, Shidou.
My life might be a little chaotic, but it's a good life.
Shidou?
Now then.
Let's begin our date.
Are you ready, Shidou?
Yeah, I'm ready whenever.
This is...
kind of eerie.
The amusement park's been abandoned since the great calamity.
It was outside the range of what was rebuilt.
It appears it's remained untouched.
So it's been like this for thirty years?
After causing the spacequake, this Spirit moved to that area.
Make contact with her before the AST arrive.
Got it.
What the—
What happened?
There's no way it was always like this, right?
It's faint, but I detect Spirit energy from it.
This is most likely the work of a Spirit.
You got that, Shidou?
The Spirit we're after is somewhere here.
Oh?
This is a rare sight.
This is the first time I've met someone other than the AST after appearing.
No need to be scared.
I won't bite.
U-Uh, I'm—
Oh, aren't you adorable?
What brings you here?
Doesn't an alarm sound when a Spirit appears?
W-Well—
Shidou, the choices are here.
I'm here for one thing: To meet you.
I-I don't know. I couldn't get away fast enough and ended up here...
Why don't we put that aside and I get to fondling your boobs?
Everyone, make your choices!
I'm here for one thing: To meet you.
I-I don't know. I couldn't get away fast enough and ended up here...
Why don't we put that aside and I get to fondling your boobs?
I'm here for one thing: To meet you.
I-I don't know. I couldn't get away fast enough and ended up here...
Why don't we put that aside and I get to fondling your boobs?
Yeah, that's about right.
He should go with the first one.
We don't know anything about her. We shouldn't be so aggressive.
No, he should go with the second one!
She's an older woman type and Shidou has what it takes to be doted on like a child!
I can agree with that.
But it's surprising that no one put in a vote for the third choice.
I thought you would've done it as a joke, Kannazuki.
Voluptuous chests are justice!
However I don't have any interest in that disgusting, saggy chest of hers.
If the choice was "Let me lick the backs of your knees," it'd be another story, but..
Thank you so much!
Shidou, go with choice two.
Make her pity you. Really sell it.
What seems to be the matter?
U-Uh, I don't know.
I couldn't get away fast enough and ended up here.
Is that right?
What's your name?
Itsuka Shidou.
Shidou-kun?
That's a cute name.
I'm Natsumi.
I think the codename for me is Witch, though.
Natsumi-san...
A little too formal. Just call me Natsumi.
So, Shidou-kun,
I have something I'd like to know.
Do you mind?
N-Not at all.
Do you find me attractive?
O-Oh.
I think you're very attractive.
I knew it!
What specifically?
What parts of me are attractive, Shidou-kun?
Well...
You have beautiful eyes, your nose is perfectly shaped, and you have a great body too.
What else? What else?
Your hair's really silky too.
Yep.
You really get it, Shidou-kun!
I really am more beautiful like this.
Shidou!
The AST's here!
Oh?
Don't worry.
You're up, Haniel!
What's happening?
Take this!
What's going o—
This is our chance, Shidou-kun. Let's retreat.
You'll compliment me even more, won't you?
Sure.
I don't mind, but...
The autonomous cameras have been knocked out!
I'll bring them back online!
Whew, that scared me.
Are you okay, Natsumi?
Shidou, retreat immediately!
Natsumi's affection levels are dropping rapidly!
So, you saw?
Don't play dumb!
You just saw it.
You're finished.
You won't get away with this!
I'm going to end your life, Itsuka Shidou!
What just happened?
Already lunch time?
That meeting about Natsumi went all night.
Wh-What?
You have some nerve showing your face around here, Itsuka Shidou!
Don't you know what you did?!
So gross!
What? What are you talk—
Don't try and play dumb!
You pushed the pure Ai against the wall.
You humiliated Mai and Mi!
And if that wasn't enough, you even laid your hands on Tohka-chan!
So gross!
W-Wait!
I just got here right now!
You're not fooling anyone!
Shido, what's done is done.
But why are you not owning up to your actions?
J-Just say something first before you do it next time.
At least that way, I'll be more mentally prepared.
No, listen. I haven't done—
Origami?!
Don't tell me that I did something to you too?!
No.
Phew.
What are you doing, Tobiichi Origami?!
Origami, didn't you just tell me I didn't do anything to you?
Exactly. That's why I had you do something now.
Now do everything else you did to them to me.
Press me against a wall.
Lift my chin and blow your sweet breath in my ear.
Suddenly flip my skirt.
Then we'll exchange a deep passionate kiss,
you'll tear off my clothes,
and steal my maiden purity.
Finally, you'll place within me something that I'll bear for the rest of my life.
Wait! He hasn't done that to anyone!
Come on, Shidou.
Now.
L-Listen—
So this is where you were, Shidou?!
I praise you for having the gall to stick around.
Warning: We're here to take revenge.
Kaguya? Yuzuru?
Don't tell me I did something to you two...
Are you saying you didn't?!
Give back the panties you stole from me!
Resentment:
Who sprayed water on me while saying he had a wet shirt fetish?
What?! That wasn't me!
Wow, he's way too impulsive.
You can't just play this off as boys being boys!
So gross.
In any case, we're gonna get you back!
You've looked down on the Yamai sisters and you will pay the price!
Specifically, we're going to take off your underwear!
Confirmation: And I will spray your entire body with water.
Listen, I didn't do anything!
Itsuka-kun,
I can't get married anymore!
You're going to take responsibility for this!
You too, Tama-chan-sensei?!
Were you serious back there, Itsuka?
Y-You're really putting me on the spot.
Th-This can't be happening!
He ran!
Don't let him get away!
So gross!
What's going on?
W-Wait!
Hey. That was quick.
What are you doing?!
I've had a lot of fun in your absence.
Who are you?!
Why are you impersonating me?!
Why are you laughing?!
How could I not?
It's hilarious how you still haven't figured it out, Shidou-kun.
That voice... Natsumi?!
Bingo. That's correct.
So, now you can guess why I've transformed into you, right?
Wait...
I'm going to end your life, Itsuka Shidou!
You're trying to make it so I can't live here anymore?
Bad answer. Twenty points.
Then why?
Shidou-kun, it's not right for there to be two of someone, is it?
There should only be one, otherwise people are going to get confused.
I'll become you from now on.
I know exactly how you act now.
I won't fool around anymore.
Nobody will suspect a thing if you disappear.
Natsumi, you—
You go search somewhere else!
I told you, I'll be the one to find Shido!
That's what I should be saying. I can't leave this to you.
There are two Shidos?
What's going on here?
Tohka, Origami, listen to me. This guy's—
This guy's a fake!
He transformed into me and has been doing all these terrible things to everyone!
Wha—
Don't be fooled! I'm the real one!
Shut up! I'm the real one!
So one of them is a fake?
This is a strange situation.
But, if I had to say...
But you're the fake!
You're the fake!
Wh-What are you saying?!
I'm the real—
You're not Shido!
You might look exactly like him, but you don't smell like him.
If it was just you here, we might have been fooled.
But with the real Shidou right next to you, it's easy.
Shidou A
Shidou B
You blink five milliseconds faster than the real Shidou.
Your resting stance is 0.2 degrees more to the left.
There's no mistaking it!
What's wrong with these two?
Are they crazy?
Well, I can't really deny that...
Impossible!
Impossible! Impossible!
Impossible!
You're...
I won't forgive you!
Not only did you see my true form, but you saw through my perfect disguise.
I won't let you get away with this!
Don't think this is over!
W-Wait!
Shido, who was that?
What are you to her?
Um, well, that's...
It's been five days since then.
She hasn't done anything yet.
What's going on?
Oh, I thought this was the couch, but it was you, Shidou.
Kotori, you...
Aren't you a little too relaxed?
We may not know the reason, but Natsumi has declared you an enemy.
If you don't raise her affection levels, you won't be able to seal her powers.
I-I know that.
We don't know when she'll appear next, but...
Itsuka Shidou
Look, this was in the mailbox.
Natsumi
What is it?
Natsumi
Itsuka Shidou
I haven't opened it, but I confirmed it's not dangerous.
Itsuka Shidou
Natsumi
It shouldn't explode or anything.
These are...
A picture of me?
There are twelve of them.
And this.
"I'm in one of these.
Can you guess which one?
Find out before anyone disappears.
Natsumi."
What does that mean?
If we take the message literally,
it means that Natsumi's most likely transformed into one of these twelve people.
One of them?
And that means
I'm a suspect too.
Shidou, this is Natsumi calling you out.
My guess is that if you don't figure out who she is,
one of these people will disappear forever.
You have to do it Shidou...
before we disappear.
"Date."
A sweet, sad, yet lovely word.
After a long wait, the curtain is raised for the third time.
At first it was just a blurred line
sukoshi boyaketa rinkaku
That suddenly came into focus
pinto awaseru mitai ni
All the doubt and pain I've been hiding
kakushi tsuzuketa fuan mo itami mo
I entrusted it all to you

If it's with you, I can go forward without doubt
mayowazu ikeru anata to nara
I can entrust myself to you

I'll be by your side no matter when

Let's kiss once again

The moment we close our eyes

I can feel our gazes come together

There's no turning back from this

It might seem familiar, but it's a different memory

One day, I swear

I'll make a future that's different than the painted scenery here right now

In this spinning world of countless encounters

Let's begin our date
