Episode Summary

Mysterious disappearances have been happening all over Tatsumi town, and the student council of St. Ruminus Academy decides to look into it themselves when students at their school start going missing. Souma doesn’t believe that students actually can just disappear, but the others in the council aren’t discounting something supernatural. They speculate that it might be a monster, and decide that Kiriye’s kendo skills are more than enough to protect them, although Kiriye thinks that he’s not as good as they say. Saionji, who seems to be the class president, knows more about it than he lets on. He seems to know about the existence of another world, and comes across a book that he feels should explain how to get to it.

On his way out of the school, Souma notices windows rattling in the student council room. It makes him stop long enough to remember that he left his cellphone in the room, and he goes back in to get it. While he’s inside, the rattling window opens on its own, and the wind that it lets in opens the book that Saionji had earlier. Souma notices, says something about a “Dream Continent”, and looks out the window again. He may or may not have notices the boy standing in the tree outside the window. The boy has wings, one white and one black.

In the next scene, it is revealed that Saionji has gone missing now, too. Later that night, amidst an odd glow in the park, a strange girl appears and jumps away, much farther than a normal person should be able to. She lands on a telephone pole, musing about the fact that Zero must be in this world somewhere. This suggests that she is from the other world that Saionji was reading about before he disappeared. The girl keeps moving, and meanwhile a monster appears in light similar to her’s from earlier.

The scene shifts to the next day in the student council room. Kiriye is talking about an odd dream he had, in which a girl appeared and said to him “When the tree that links with this world blooms, the illusory door which leads to the continent will open. The red moon of the heavens will reflect upon the mirror-like spring and will be the door to the other world.” He thinks it has something to do with the disappearances, and Souma passes it off as a coincidence, still thinking that there must be a logical explanation for everything. Kureha, one of the girls in the council, asks for more information. Kiriye tells her that the girl had strange, long ears, but that she was very pretty. Shiina, the other girl there, says to forget about the dream because there was a wolf-like howl heard last night.

Episode Summary

Koizumi is a girl who is always made fun of because she is tall, and Ootani is a boy who is always made fun of because he’s short. The two are very alike in personality and interests, and bicker to the point where they’re like a comedy duo. The two of them end up in summer school – Koizumi because she fell asleep and screamed aloud during an assembly, and Ootani because he failed.

The day before summer school Koizumi tells her friends, Nobu-chan and Chihara, that she’d be able to better get through the experience if she had someone she liked. Lo and behold, the next day in class a boy named Suzuki from another class is also in summer school and Koizumi instantly gets a crush on him. Ootani realizes this immediately and gets “evil” plans.

After class, Ootani tells Koizumi that he knows she likes Suzuki, and he’ll help her get together with him if she helps him get together with Chihara, and she agrees. Later on, the four of them, plus Nobu-chan and her boyfriend Nakao-kun, go to the pool. Things are going well, if a bit awkward, as Ootani and Koizumi get to know their interests. When Nobu and Nakao go on the waterslide, Ootani and Koizumi want to go also, but Suzuki and Chihara are both afraid, so they go on it together. When they come back, Suzuki has disappeared and Koizumi panics, but it turns out he was buying drinks.

As everyone leaves, Koizumi tells Ootani she’s worried because Suzuki and Chihara went home together. He tells her not to worry. However, the next day Ootani is crushed because Chihara doesn’t think of him as a boy because he’s short, and likewise for Kotani – because she’s tall, Suzuki doesn’t see her as a girl. The two help each other out and decide to invite their interests to the summer festival.

Ootani initially blushes when Koizumi shows up in a yukata, but plays it off as thinking she was someone else. When Chihara and Suzuki show up together, it becomes apparent to Koizumi and Ootani that the two like each other, so they give up and go off by themselves. They both have a lot of fun, and Koizumi later ends up blushing because of Ootani.

The next day at school, the two are back to fighting again, and initiate a contest to see who can get a significant other first.
