This is Kashihara Girls' Academy.
It is a prestigious school, widely regarded
as an old-fashioned school for raising proper ladies.
My, how pretty.
Looks delicious.
Chiyo-san, you're here early today.
How do you do, Sekine-san? Did you arrive with Tsubasa-san?
Hey, everyone!
Good morning!
Good morning.
How do you do, Rikka-chan?
By all appearances, an ordinary morning scene,
played out by four ordinary middle school girls.
But these four each have their own special circumstances.

#01 The Four Girls' Secrets
Wow, Chiyo-san's lunch looks delicious!
I made it all myself.
Cool!
Sekine, you're just having natto and rice?
Natto is good for you.
Yeah, that's true, but...
Would you like to try my rolled omelet?
Really? Yay!
They say "Show me a liar, and I will show you a thief," but...
All of the people pictured here are liars.
They must never find out...
that I am Colonel Papipoporo Durrikka,
109th Battalion of the Galactic Revolution Alliance Army!
Loli Alien Rikka
Loli Alien, Rikka!
During combat against the Space Empire, my spacecraft was damaged,
and I crash-landed on this planet.
Fortunately, I was able to use my Emergency Device
to manipulate the memories of the locals and infiltrate this school, but...
Groovy! This is the bee's knees!
What does that even mean?
Did I make a mistake? Was that an error?!
BWAH
I'm trying to play the role of an innocent and naïve girl.
Where did I go wrong?
She simply targeted the wrong era.
Friend, friend.
Through memory manipulation,
Rikka is friend.
they believe I am their "innocent and naïve" friend.
Innocent and naïve, naïve.
Om nom nom nom nom
But what exactly is "innocent and naïve"...?
What if they begin to suspect me?
Honestly, I'm so stressed, I can't even taste anything.
So Delicious
It's so delicious!
But there's nothing more I can do besides wait for my comrades to rescue me!
Oh, I'm so fortunate to be blessed with so many cute girls as friends!
I'm so glad I quit being a ninja.
Maidenly Ninja Chiyo
Hmph...
Maidenly Ninja, Chiyo.
Several months ago, I infiltrated this school
as part of my first assassination mission.
My target was the headmaster.
But I chose to abandon the mission and live here as a normal girl.
Ever since, my village has been sending assassins to terminate me,
but I can't let go of this happiness!
Chiyo-san, did you hurt your hand?
Y-Yes. My dog bit me.
Oh, you have a dog?
Like a Labrador or something? I can picture it already.
L-Lab?
Well, maybe a well-to-do lady like you doesn't care about breeds and such.
Your butler probably took care of everything.
N-No, that's not how I am.
I've tried to reveal as little of my personal life as possible,
but somehow that's ended up being interpreted as me being a high-class lady.
I feel a little bad.
An alien and a ninja?! You've gotta be kidding me!
Wh-What?!
D-Class Psychic Sekine
D-Class Psychic, Sekine.
I'm just a normal middle school student.
I have a lame psychic ability
that occasionally makes other peoples' thoughts flow into me.
Aren't I supposed to be brainwashed by alien technology?
How is it that I'm able to realize I'm being brainwashed?
Maybe it's because we psychics have abnormally structured brains?
I have no cure for that.
That does cause some drugs to not work on me, and things like that.
So you're saying I should just die?
On top of that, we psychics have an ID code engraved in our arms,
and a GPS tracker embedded in our bones.
The Organization has us under constant surveillance. It's the only way I can live.
Honestly, it doesn't bother me, though.
Why do I gotta go to an all-girls school?
Boy in Girl's Clothes Tsubasa (Tsuyoshi)
Boy in Girl's Clothes, Tsubasa— real name, Tsuyoshi.
It all started when...
Tsuyoshi! Did you get accepted into Chikuin Boys' Academy?
Yeah.
You're going to attend an all-girls school in my place.
What are you talking about?
It looks like Takahashi-kun from Jennie's will be going to Chikuin this year.
B-But...
Do as I say, or you're dead.
It'll be fine. We're identical twins.
When my sister gets like that, there's no reasoning with her.
That said, I did have some hope
Panty Flash
Oh, you're so naughty.
that by infiltrating an all-girls school, I might end up having a few sexy accidents.
Hello, boy.
But now that I think about it, I prefer sexy women older than me.
No sex appeal
Too prim
Too immature
Oh well, who cares as long as it's fun?
I wonder why I can't read Tsubasa's mind at all.
Sekine's ability only works on individuals of the same gender.
Doesn't understand the specifics of her own powers
Hey, Rikka, can I touch your stuffed animal?
Huh?
Gulp
You're always holding it, so I was thinking it must feel really nice.
I wanted to give it a try, if that's okay.
I'm sorry. This was a precious gift from my grandfather.
I see. Like a birthday present?
Well, it was a precious day for me—
or rather, every citizen...
A gift for our National Foundation Day!
Yikes.
Oh no, Colonel, you got it wrong again!
Earthlings don't generally give gifts to celebrate the foundation of a nation!
Erm, I see. I guess that's how your family is.
Oh, what a diplomatic response.
That's right! The National Foundation Day is a celebration of our national identity
Colonel!
and confirmation of our rejection of imperialist ideals
Oh, I need to go to the restroom all of a sudden.
intended to give a heartfelt thanks to our ability to self-govern
Logging Out
and confirm our commitment to maintaining our freedoms.
Tsubasa bailed.
If you think about it, the concept of national sovereignty is...
You found out that I'm very close to my grandfather.
Oh, so that part is for real.
Yes, my duty is to defend the ideals of the Revolutionary Army
that my grandfather started!
As a colonel and ace pilot, I must return to outer space as soon as possible!
You're an ace pilot?!
I should just undo the memory alteration and come out proudly as an alien!
Then I can use the extra energy to send out a distress signal!
Goodbye, everyone.
Though our relationship was brief, I am proud to have met you!
Farewell, my Earthling friends!
Goodbye, zaijian, sawasdi, adios,
auf wiedersehen, au revoir!
The End
No, we barely just started!
Don't try to end it all of a sudden!
Chiyo-san, Sekine-chan. There's something important I must tell you.
What is it?
Wh-What's up?
What should I do? Should I stop her?
There's a secret I've been keeping from you.
I'm scared you might come to dislike me if I reveal it.
Dislike you? Impossible!
Rikka-chan, I love you, no matter what happens!
Sparkle Sparkle
Chiyo-san!
Ugh! I can't bring myself to step in!
In that case, I'll go ahead.
Actually, I am...
My apologies. I have to visit the restroom.
She totally caught a shuriken just now.
Coming up with stuff to talk about is hard.
I wonder what girls like to talk about?
Oh, well. I should head back.
Fighting off assassins every day isn't easy.
Enemy blood
Oh, you're both here?
Oh, um, it's, uh...
that time of the month!
Time of the month?
Oh, ah, right. It's rough, huh?
I know, right?
A month? The length of one lunar orbit?
How is this planet's satellite related?
Yes! Me, too!
I totally get it!
I get blood-soaked from head to toe, too!
That's totally not how that works...
I know, right?
Seriously, though, what's the matter with this school?!
So thought Sekine, as she put her own issues away on a shelf.
Shelf
The Little Lies We All Tell
Shelf!
How droll!
Is that true?
Totally. Then Sekine was like...
Come on, stop telling that story.
What? But I want to.
Oh, no.
I'm about to pass gas.
Why is this happening to me all of a sudden?
Rikka, is something the matter?
No. All clear, move on!
Huh?
No! I can't reveal my military upbringing!
They believe I'm an innocent child!
Are you sweating?
N-Not at all.
Maybe these are teardrops from the stars.
I worry about her ability to make it in society.
In a way, Colonel Rikka is totally successful in her role-playing.
But it's true that you don't look well.
Really? I feel A-OK!
I can't allow them to worry about me!
Is your ribbon getting wet, too?
Ribbon?
Does she mean my tentacles?!
Is my mimesis wearing off?!
Those are tentacles?
It's dripping with strange fluids!
I'm glad you're feeling well.
Oh, by the way,
I made cookies for everyone. Enjoy, Rikka-chan.
Th-Thanks...
Chiyo-san, you seem cheerful lately.
Oh, can you tell?
Until recently, I had to dedicate all my time to my studies, but...
Lately, I've been able to get into baking and sculpture.
It's so fulfilling!
I see.
Sculpture...?
So a well-off lady has elegant hobbies, too.
I truly feel they're worth pursuing.
She has vowed to sculpt a Buddha for every life her clan has taken.
That's super heavy, Maidenly Ninja...
Hey, everyone...
Have you ever passed gas in front of others?
She decided to just come out with it.
Oh, yeah, for sure. Totally.
I'm ashamed to admit it, but I have as, well.
I see. That's a relief.
So it wouldn't be an issue for me to release it here...
My chlorine gas.
Highly Toxic
Highly toxic gas! Do not mix!
Farting in front of humans is definitely out of the question!
Come on, it's just a natural bodily function. It's not going to kill you.
I'm saying this to protect you!
Rikka's lacking in common sense, but that can't be fixed overnight.
What's a little gas, compared to the weird stuff she always says?
What? That's how people see me?!
I'm trying so hard to blend in with this planet's culture!
Then do it somewhere alone!
Preferably in an isolated room, sealed off by duct tape!
Poof
I'll go to the restroom for now!
The other students are in danger!
Oopsies!
Fun fact: if you hold in a fart,
the gasses are released from your mouth and nose, mixed in with your breath.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
This fact scored five "Whoa"s.
Oh, Colonel Rikka left her stuffed toy behind.
Don't spill
This is what she brainwashes people with...
Oh, Sekine-san.
You haven't gone home yet?
I was writing up the class journal.
Don't spill
I forgot something!
Here it is.
Translation for Earthlings: Enemy presence detected within three meters
Pipipo pururu popibuppo pappiriripuri puripurippo.
About three meters
Put your hands behind your head, and line up in front of me.
Like this?
What are you talking about?
I'm sorry, but this isn't a negotiation.
You have ten seconds to comply before I liquefy you
with this Pupulum Fluid Discharger.
She's dead serious!
Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six.
What is all of this?
Just do it.
Just do it, please!
They're seriously, like, five seconds away from being shot.
Five, four, three, two, one.
What kind of game is this?
It's my fault!
It has to be because I spilled water on the Device.
Should I just tell her the truth?
What if she doesn't forgive me?!
If I'm going to die anyway...
Excuse me!
There's something I've been dying to ask!
Wh-What is it?
Rikka...
Do you poop from your tentacles, too?
Yikes. I let my imagination run wild with pessimism.
Accursed spy. How dare you infiltrate my friend network?
I'll find you immediately.
To do that...
I asked three Earthlings
Earth Quiz, Question 1!
Let's start with the basics.
How many years ago was the Earth created?
Any Earthling should easily be able to answer this.
Um, 4.6 billion years ago?
How dense is the Earth compared to the other planets of the solar system?
It's the most dense, right?
What is the prevailing theory about how the Earth was formed?
Protoplanet formation through chondritic asteroids?
Miss Tsubasa, you are...
undoubtedly an Earthling!
An Earthling? I just like astronomy.
Next, Miss Sekine...
Yes! It's 1/298.257222101!
Correct.
Psychic cheating is the best!
That's the ellipticity of the Earth.
The only one left... is Chiyo-san.
I'll do my best!
This beautiful, gentle girl couldn't possibly be an Imperial spy...
Rikka-chan is so cute.
Don't worry! You aren't weird!
Chiyo-san!
I don't want to doubt her! But I can't let my emotions interfere!
The Earth Quiz is reaching its climax...
Hot choice
Round
Triangular
Square
Which of these is the shape of the Earth?!
Triangular?
Ch-Chiyo-san...
What's the right answer? I'm so excited!
Chiyo-san, I'm sorry.
You will become a foundation of the revolution!
Wait! Stop!
Chiyo-san is just a bit goofy!
What is this?!
I missed? Not to mention, this gun has no effect on Earthlings?!
Oh, no. I reflexively counterattacked.
Are you all right, Rikka-chan?
My Device?!
It was wet, so I dried it in the shade.
Please, let it be fixed!
The enemy reading is gone.
Was it a malfunction?
Rikka, what the heck was that all about?
Um...
I was playing make-believe as a "hasty soldier who jumped at shadows
and almost wound up with civilian blood on her hands."
She basically confessed.
Your taste in hobbies is up to you, but I think we deserve an apology.
I'm sorry.
As a token of remorse,
I will give up this medal given to me by my great leader.
This is Colonel Rikka's most prized possession.
You're still playing make-believe? You're not sorry at all.
Um, actually, I think she's really, truly sorry.
I think that's a really serious move on her part.
Please don't be so mad.
She just had an anemia attack.
That's her cover story.
You're both too soft on Rikka.
The next time you pull that, consider our friendship over.
Yes...
Now that I think about it,
I should have just used the Device's interrogation mode to make them confess.
It has terrifyingly crippling side effects, but only if they're lying.
Psst, psst, psst...
Psst...
Safe!
Safe!!
I managed to get through the day, but lying really is difficult.
I will protect this lifestyle, no matter what hardships await.
What am I doing?
I'll get in so much trouble if they find out.
Why do I alone have to have all these things to worry about?
They say, "Show me a liar, and I will show you a thief."
But for them it's "I will show you a friend."
Where will their friendship go from here?
