Yuna: It's been a month and a half since we became Heroes for the Shinju-sama. The Shinju-sama set the defensive barrier called the Jukai. It is our task to fight humanity's greatest enemy, the Vertex, within this barrier. From what Fu told us, there are twelve Vertexes. Once they are all defeated, our job'll be done. So we've gotta work hard.
Look!
Togo: That's the fifth one.
Fu: Stay calm. Let's intercept it here.
Yuna: But it's been a whole month. Can we really handle it?
Itsuki: Um, I think we do this, and then this. Yeah.
Yuna: Right. Got it.
Fu: Aargh! If you just try, you'll probably be fine! Stop complaining, and let's do this.
Yuna & Itsuki: Uh, okay.
Fu: Let's go, Hero Club!
Yuna & Itsuki: Yeah!
Fu: Wait.
Yuna: Uh, Togo?
Togo: That wasn't me.
Karin: Too easy!
Now sealing!
Behold the strength of my power!
Fu: That girl's doing it by herself?
Togo: Gas.
Yuna: Hey, what is this?
Itsuki: I can't see.
Karin: You can't hide from me! I can still sense you!
All right. Done.
Yoshiteru: All things must pass.
Yuna: So, um, who are you?
Karin: You ladies all look like total morons. Why on earth did the Shinju-sama choose you to be Heroes?
Yuna: Well...
Karin: That's enough, shrimp.
Yuna: "Shrimp"?
Karin: My name is Karin Miyoshi. I'm an official, true Hero specifically chosen by the Taisha. In other words, you're no longer needed. So your work here is done. Bye-bye.
Yuna, Togo, Itsuki & Fu: Huh?
---- <OP> ----
Teacher: Good morning, everyone. I'd like you to meet your new classmate, Karin Miyoshi.
Yuna: Uh.
Teacher: Now you moved here because of your parents' business. Is that right, Miss Miyoshi?
Karin: Yes.
Teacher: And with almost perfect scores on your entrance exam.
Karin: Yeah.
Teacher: Well, would you like to introduce yourself?
Karin: My name is Karin Miyoshi. It's a pleasure to meet you all.
Yuna: Oh.
Togo: Well then.
Fu: Nice cover story.
Karin: I hate pretending to be a transfer student, but now, I'll have everything under control. Total victory!
Togo: But why did you just show up now? I don't see why you didn't join us from the beginning.
Karin: Believe me, it's not like I didn't want to fight right away. However, the Taisha double- and triple-check everything. They want to make sure they get the most powerful Hero.
Togo: The most powerful?
Karin: Yeah. They combined the battle data from you advance troops to make a perfectly calibrated, and complete Hero. That's me. My system's been optimized for fighting and obliterating those nasty Vertexes. Also, unlike you newbies, I've been training for combat for years.
Togo: Careful! You're hitting the chalkboard.
Fu: Oh, you'll be a fun one to train.
Karin: What was that?!
Itsuki: Please don't fight!
Karin: Fine, whatever. You amateurs, just remember who you're dealing with.
Yuna: Okay, Karin. I look forward to working with you.
Karin: Uh, we are not on a first-name basis.
Yuna: Oh, we're not?
Karin: I don't care. You can call me whatever you want to.
Yuna: Welcome to the Hero Club.
Karin: What? Who, me?
Yuna: Yes, you.
Karin: Wait a minute! I never told you guys I'd join your little club.
Yuna: So you aren't?
Karin: No, of course not. The only reason I was sent here was to supervise the four of you.
Yuna: So you aren't coming anymore?
Karin: Of course I am. It is my job.
Yuna: Well then it'll be much easier if you become a club member.
Togo: Yes, that's true.
Karin: Fine, then. Call me a member if you want. It will probably make it simpler to supervise you that way.
Fu: You keep using that word, "supervise," as if we wouldn't be doing our jobs unless you were here watching us.
Karin: You're a newbie chosen completely by accident. I'm afraid you don't have any room to talk!
When you're serving the Taisha, it isn't all fun and... W-Wow!
Let go of him!
[You beef meanie!]
Yoshiteru: You brute!
Yuna: He's not a brute. His name is Gyuki. Here you go, my hungry little friend.
Karin: Some Hero you are! You can't even train your own faery. You really are a newb.
Togo: None of us can let our faeries come out, because Gyuki keeps biting them.
Karin: Then put Gyuki away!
Yuna: But he comes out whenever he wants to.
Karin: What? I think your system may be broken.
Yoshiteru: You brute!
Yuna: Oh, wow! So your guy can talk, too?
Karin: Yeah, he's a powerful faery, a perfect fit for my abilities.
Yuna: Neat! And Togo has three of them. Wanna see?
Togo: Um, okay.
Here they are.
Karin: Well, I don't need three. One is powerful enough. Go on, tell 'em.
Yoshiteru: All things must pass.
Togo: He's so philosophical.
Karin: Yeah, that's what makes him awesome.
Itsuki: Oh, this is unfortunate.
Karin: What? What is?
Itsuki: You got the Death card.
Karin: No one asked you to do a reading!
Fu: It's ominous.
Togo: Definitely.
Karin: No, it's not!
Anyway, from now on, you're going to be fighting the Vertex under my supervision.
Yuna: But we have a president.
Karin: I'm more important than your president.
Yuna: This is confusing.
Karin: No, it's really not!
Fu: I get where you're coming from. But at school, you're supposed to listen to students who are your seniors. And isn't it part of our job to keep our situation secret?
Karin: Fine, then.
Our assignment will be finished as soon as we get rid of the remaining Vertexes. Guess I'll put up with you till then.
Yuna: Yeah. We can fight them together.
Karin: W-Well, I guess we can. Just don't get in my way, all right?
Yuna: Hey, do you wanna come get some udon with us?
Karin: I don't think so.
I'm off.
Yuna: Are you going home?
(Kameya)
Itsuki: It's so good!
Togo: She seems a bit stubborn, doesn't she?
Fu: (Chuckles)
Itsuki: What?
Fu: Stubborn types just like her get me really fired up.
Itsuki: You don't say.
Yuna: Hmm.
Togo: Uh?
Yuna: I wonder how we can become better friends with her.
Karin: Absurd. I didn't expect much of anything from school, but it's worse than I thought.
What a bunch of idiots.
Time to eat.
---- <Eyecatch> ----
(Swimming pool)
Students: Good job.
Go, go!
Teacher: That's it. Keep going.
Student: Oh, wow. Miyoshi, you can almost swim in the Olympics!
Karin: Yeah, I trained a lot.
Student B: Hey, what do you think about joining our swim club?
Karin: I'm not interested.
Yuna: Karin, Karin! Everyone's super-impressed. They're like OMG!
Karin: Yuna Yuki. In order to save the world, the Hero has to be impressive. Combat ability is greatly influenced by one's basic physical fitness. As a Hero, you need to be responsible.
Yuna: Yeah, but I just started a Heroine last month.
Karin: I bet people ask you if you're stupid a lot, don't they?
Yuna: Yeah, how did you know?
Karin: Jeez, what the heck! There's no way you were actually chosen for this.
(Hero Club room)
Karin: All right. It's time we exchange some information.
Listen up! I'm here for your sake, because you're all so green and irresponsible.
Fu: Dried sardines?
Karin: So what? Vitamins, minerals, calcium, taurine, EPA, DHA... It's a complete diet!
Fu: Uh, sure, whatever.
Karin: And you're not getting any.
Fu: I don't want any.
Togo: How would you like to make a trade for a few of these?
Karin: What are they?
Togo: Just some desserts I made in Home Ec!
Yuna: Togo is a snack-making genius.
Togo: Would you like some?
Karin: No, I think I'll pass.
Let's begin. Until now, it was always thought that the Vertexes attack regularly, though still sporadically. Now we have quite the anomaly. And as a result of that, more mixed battles are predicted for the future.
Togo: Oh, I see. You know, [we were daunted when] some of them showed up at the same time a month ago.
Karin: Don't worry. I can handle any situation on my own, but you guys need to be extra careful, because you could end up dead. Also, by gaining battle experience, you can level up and increase your strength. We call that "Mankai."
Yuna: I never knew that.
Togo: You can read all about it in your app.
Yuna: I never knew!
Karin: By repeating "Mankai," you can become even stronger. That's the Taisha's Hero system.
Yuna: Wow, cool!
Togo: I assume you've already experienced Mankai then?
Karin: Uh, no. Not yet.
Fu: Yeah, you're just a level one, too. Which means you're no different from any of us.
Karin: Excuse me, my battle abilities are way higher than yours! So don't go thinking we're the same.
Fu: So then all we need to do is work harder.
Yuna: Yeah, yeah! We could always practice in the mornings [to get some training in]. You know, like one of the sports clubs.
Itsuki: That's a great idea.
Fu: Itsuki, there is no way you can wake up that early in the morning.
Togo: And I don't think Yuna can either.
Karin: How did these girls become Shinju-sama's Heroes?
Yuna: "You're likely to succeed if you try."
Karin: Uh, what's that?
Yuna: The Hero Club's Five Tenets. It's usually what we go by. See? They are all written for us up there. We're likely to succeed with those.
Karin: "Usually"? "Likely"? I guess I can't expect much more from newbies with no real principles. You guys are hopeless. I give up. I can't work in these conditions.
Fu: No, wait a sec. We're not hopeless. We're just... just more hands-on!
Karin: Right. You just came up with that, didn't you?
Fu: If you keep overthinking things, you'll go bald.
Karin: Wait! Why would I go bald?
Fu: Okay, onto the next topic of discussion. Itsuki?
Itsuki: Okay.
So, next on the agenda. We're planning to help with the activities for the Children's Festival this weekend.
Togo: What activities?
Itsuki: Oh, lots. We're going to be teaching them how to do origami, and a little bit of drawing, and a ton of other things.
Yuna: Huh, I can't wait!
Fu: But what can you do, Karin? I know, you can be a dodgeball target for the rowdy kids!
Karin: Hang on! Why do I have to participate?
Fu: Because you joined the club yesterday.
Karin: Well, technically.
Fu: So as long as you're here, I'd like you to please follow the club's rules.
Karin: Hey, it's only technically! And you can't make a schedule for me without asking first!
Yuna: Do you have something to do on Sunday?
Karin: No...
Yuna: Then you should definitely come and get to know us better. It'll be fun.
Karin: But I don't wanna deal with a bunch of little kids!
Yuna: No?
Karin: Jeez. Okay, fine. You said Sunday, right? I happen to have that day off.
Yuna: Oh, that's great.
Fu: Then we're all set.
Karin: Great. Like there's nothing better to do.
(Karin's home)
Karin: Recreation, at such a critical time?
Time to eat.
(Hero Club room)
Karin: I'm here, like you asked. Mm. Hey, where is everybody? Am I early?
Irresponsible.
What?! Where could they... Um. "Meet on location"? Dang it. I really screwed up! Um, I should call. That's probably the right thing to do.
Uh! This number-it's Yuna calling! She called me first, [so]...
Oops, I hung up. I-I should call back, right? But what would I say when she answers? Umm... What am I doing here anyway? This is ridiculous. It doesn't matter. So what? I never wanted to do dumb club activities to begin with. After all, I was chosen by the Shinju-sama. I don't have time for having fun.
I'm different from those foolish girls. I'm a true, chosen Hero.
(Beach)
Karin: They are just test troops. But I'm something special. I hold the future of the world in my hands. It's all up to me. There's no room for normal girl things.
(Karin's home)
Karin: I don't need any drama.
(The bell rings.)
Karin: Who's there?!
Oh, it's you guys.
Fu: Hey, don't get so upset! We tried calling you a lot! Why'd you have your phone off?
Karin: Why does it matter? What do you guys want?
Fu: What do we want? We were worried, so we came to check on you.
Karin: Worried?
Yuna: Oh, good. I'm so glad you weren't passed out in bed.
Karin: Oh, yeah.
Fu: Well, here we are! Excuse me.
Karin: Hey, wait a sec! Who said you could come in?! What are you doing?
Fu: Uh, what a dull room.
Karin: That's so rude of you to say!
Fu: All right, all right. Have a seat.
Karin: What?! This is my place!
Itsuki: Oh, look! This is like what professionals use.
Karin: Yeah, and who said you could touch it!
Yuna: Oh, no! There is only water.
Karin: And don't open my fridge!
Fu: See, I told you bringing a bunch of snacks was a good idea?
Karin: What is wrong with you? Why did you come here without asking?!
Yuna: Well, happy birthday! Surprise! We just wanted to wish you a happy birthday.
Togo: Yeah, happy birthday.
Karin: B-But how did you...
Fu: It is your birthday today, right? It says so right here.
Togo: Yuna noticed that the other day.
Yuna: We just had to throw you a party. I really hope you don't mind surprises.
Itsuki: It can even be a welcoming party, don't you think?
Yuna: Mm-Hmm.
Togo: We were actually planning to do it at the children's center this afternoon.
Yuna: Pretty good secret, huh? You had no idea what we were up to.
Fu: Too bad that the birthday girl never showed up. You had us really worried.
Yuna: We were going to come pick you up and bring you to the party. But the little kids were really a handful today.
Fu: We only just left right before we came by here. Sorry.
Hey, what's wrong?
Yuna: Are you okay?
Fu: Um, wait. Don't tell me you actually forgot that today is your birthday.
Karin: Mmm... Stupid. Idiot. Doofus. Dork.
Fu: Hey! What's with the name calling?
Karin: I've never had a birthday party! So I don't really... know what to say.
Yuna: Happy birthday, Karin.
Everyone: Cheers!
Fu: Chug, chug!
Karin: [Stop! It just gets me hyper]!
Fu: Relax! We're just having a little fun. Besides, your girl power is getting pretty low.
Itsuki: Oh, origami! You've been practicing?
Togo: It looks good.
Karin: Don't look! Don't look!
Yuna: Here are the dates of the Hero Club, and our girls nights.
Karin: Stop writing stuff in!
Yuna: The club has all kinds of activities on the weekends, too.
Fu: We're gonna be very busy.
Karin: Stop overscheduling me!
Yuna: We have so much to do! Don't forget we have to practice for the Cultural Festival skit.
Togo: What's "skit"?
Yuna: Huh?
Itsuki: When did we decide on that?
Yuna: Uh-Maybe I just blurted out some ideas I had in my head. I do that sometimes.
Karin: Are you stupid?
Fu: A skit is a good idea!
Let's do it. For this year's Cultural Festival, we're gonna put on a skit.
Karin: Hey, don't get me mixed up in your [shenanigans]?!
Fu: Oh, please. What else are you gonna do?
Karin: I have a life, you know. Like training and stuff!
Fu: By yourself? Lame!
Karin: Shut up!
Fu: Training is... Togo: All good, right, Yuna?
Yuna: Mm-hmm.
Karin: Shut up, shut up, shut up!
Fu: All right, all right! We're leaving.
Karin: Go home now!
Yuna: See you next time!
Karin: They left me with all this garbage to clean up. Jeez. How do they eat so much?
What now? Huh?
"Eat botamochi"?
"I've got it."
Agh, no, wait... "Shut up!"
What's their deal? Jeez.
"Everything's gonna be so much fun." I thought we're supposed to be Heroes saving the world. Silly.
Look!
Togo: That's the fifth one.
Fu: Stay calm. Let's intercept it here.
Yuna: But it's been a whole month. Can we really handle it?
Itsuki: Um, I think we do this, and then this. Yeah.
Yuna: Right. Got it.
Fu: Aargh! If you just try, you'll probably be fine! Stop complaining, and let's do this.
Yuna & Itsuki: Uh, okay.

Karin: They are just test troops. But I'm something special. I hold the future of the world in my hands. It's all up to me. There's no room for normal girl things.
(Karin's home)
Karin: I don't need any drama.
(The bell rings.)
Karin: Who's there?!
Oh, it's you guys.
Fu: Hey, don't get so upset! We tried calling you a lot! Why'd you have your phone off?
Karin: Why does it matter? What do you guys want?
Fu: What do we want? We were worried, so we came to check on you.
Karin: Worried?
Yuna: Oh, good. I'm so glad you weren't passed out in bed.
Karin: Oh, yeah.
Fu: Well, here we are! Excuse me.
Karin: Hey, wait a sec! Who said you could come in?! What are you doing?
Fu: Uh, what a dull room.
Karin: That's so rude of you to say!
Fu: All right, all right. Have a seat.
Karin: What?! This is my place!
Itsuki: Oh, look! This is like what professionals use.
Karin: Yeah, and who said you could touch it!
Yuna: Oh, no! There is only water.
Karin: And don't open my fridge!
Fu: See, I told you bringing a bunch of snacks was a good idea?
Karin: What is wrong with you? Why did you come here without asking?!
Yuna: Well, happy birthday! Surprise! We just wanted to wish you a happy birthday.
Togo: Yeah, happy birthday.
Karin: B-But how did you...
Fu: It is your birthday today, right? It says so right here.
Togo: Yuna noticed that the other day.
Yuna: We just had to throw you a party. I really hope you don't mind surprises.
Itsuki: It can even be a welcoming party, don't you think?
Yuna: Mm-Hmm.
Togo: We were actually planning to do it at the children's center this afternoon.
Yuna: Pretty good secret, huh? You had no idea what we were up to.
Fu: Too bad that the birthday girl never showed up. You had us really worried.
Yuna: We were going to come pick you up and bring you to the party. But the little kids were really a handful today.
Fu: We only just left right before we came by here. Sorry.
Hey, what's wrong?
Yuna: Are you okay?
Fu: Um, wait. Don't tell me you actually forgot that today is your birthday.
Karin: Mmm... Stupid. Idiot. Doofus. Dork.
Fu: Hey! What's with the name calling?
Karin: I've never had a birthday party! So I don't really... know what to say.
Yuna: Happy birthday, Karin.
Everyone: Cheers!
Fu: Chug, chug!
Karin: [Stop! It just gets me hyper]!
Fu: Relax! We're just having a little fun. Besides, your girl power is getting pretty low.
Itsuki: Oh, origami! You've been practicing?
Togo: It looks good.
Karin: Don't look! Don't look!
Yuna: Here are the dates of the Hero Club, and our girls nights.
Karin: Stop writing stuff in!
Yuna: The club has all kinds of activities on the weekends, too.
Fu: We're gonna be very busy.
Karin: Stop overscheduling me!
Yuna: We have so much to do! Don't forget we have to practice for the Cultural Festival skit.
Togo: What's "skit"?
Yuna: Huh?
Itsuki: When did we decide on that?
Yuna: Uh-Maybe I just blurted out some ideas I had in my head. I do that sometimes.
Karin: Are you stupid?
Fu: A skit is a good idea!
Let's do it. For this year's Cultural Festival, we're gonna put on a skit.
Karin: Hey, don't get me mixed up in your [shenanigans]?!
Fu: Oh, please. What else are you gonna do?
Karin: I have a life, you know. Like training and stuff!
Fu: By yourself? Lame!
Karin: Shut up!
Fu: Training is...
Togo: All good, right, Yuna?
Yuna: Mm-hmm.
Karin: Shut up, shut up, shut up!
Fu: All right, all right! We're leaving.
Karin: Go home now!
Yuna: See you next time!
Karin: They left me with all this garbage to clean up. Jeez. How do they eat so much?
What now? Huh?
"Eat botamochi"?
"I've got it."
Agh, no, wait... "Shut up!"
What's their deal? Jeez.
"Everything's gonna be so much fun." I thought we're supposed to be Heroes saving the world. Silly.

Yuna: Hey, Fishface, do you know this song?
Karin: Give me the microphone.
Fu: Cute as usual.
Itsuki: Alpha waves...?
Togo: Werewolf?
Karin: That's my reason.
Itsuki: But I don't have any reasons.
