Thirty years ago, the Eurasian continent was attacked by a massive "spatial quake."
There were 150 million victims of this unprecedented event.
And now...
My little sister is giving me the worst wake-up call ever.
Oh, Kotori, my dear little sister...
Oh! What is it, my dear big brother?
Get off of me! You're too heavy!
You said "Gouf"! Like a ground type!
Why are you going back to sleep?
Wake up, wake up! Wake up, big brother!
Run away, Kotori...
Huh?
I've contracted the "Ten more minutes of sleep, or else my sister goes to Tickle Hell" virus,
or the "T-virus" for short.
What did you say?
Run away, Kotori...
While I can still control myself...
B-But what'll happen to you, big brother?
As long as you're safe, it doesn't matter what happens to me.
Hurry!
But... big brother!
Well, that's that.
I'm scared... The T-virus... It's scary...
Calm down.
It's just me.
Big brother...
Not scary, not scary.
I'm Kotori friend.
Yeah.
A small spatial quake was recorded early this morning near Tengu City.
There was only slight damage, with no casualties among residents in the area.
Investigations continue as to the cause of the spatial quakes...
Again?
Sounds like it was nearby.
Yeah.
Spatial quakes...
widespread vibration phenomena of unknown causes.
Just as the name implies, the space itself vibrates.
An irrational disaster that thoroughly destroys everything around it.
After the massive destruction 30 years ago,
spatial quakes occurred around the world for six months.
In Japan, the Great Southern Kantou Spatial Quake razed the area near here.
Nothing happened for 25 years after that, until suddenly, five years ago...
Starting with their reappearance in the redeveloped Tengu City,
the number of spatial quakes began to increase.
Their reappearance was also centered on Japan.
Don't you think there have been a lot lately?
Yeah...
This is happening a little earlier than planned.
Hey, don't eat sweets before a meal!
Man...
Make sure you eat your breakfast.
Okay! I love you, big brother!
Do you have any requests for lunch?
Deluxe Kids Plate!
That's something from a diner menu.
We do not have that at this restaurant.
C'mon, please? Please? Pretty please with a cherry on top? Please...
Big brother?
Fine.
Deluxe Kids Plate...
Eating lunch at a diner...
Don't get so excited about a diner.
I can if I want to. Thanks, big brother!
Then I'll wait for you here after school, big brother.
All right.
Make sure you don't break your promise!
We'll eat here even if the restaurant is taken over by terrorists.
If it's been taken over by terrorists, we won't be able to eat.
Don't worry. Just be careful on your way to school.
Oh?
Isn't that Itsuka?
They get along too well.
I guess the rumors about his sister-complex are true.
That's so lame.
Don't forget! Make sure you keep your promise!
Meet here even if there's a spatial quake!
All right, just get to school already.
Good morning, Itsuka.
Oh, Tonomachi.
I'm glad you're looking well at the start of this new semester.
Well, there are these rumors, too.
People say Tonomachi swings both ways...
That's so lame.
What's wrong?
Just now, the "Super Genius" was...
That's so lame.
What a coincidence, Itsuka.
To think that we've been put in the same class again.
I, Hiroto Tonomachi, feel like this is fate.
Really?
Oh, sorry, it's my girlfriend.
Girlfriend? Since when?
Let me introduce you. Here.
That's just a dating sim!
She's still my girlfriend.
Don't be prejudiced!
A dating sim is filled with everything you need to know about how to act toward women.
It's like a textbook for love!
Especially this "Fall In Love: My Little Seed" app,
which lives on your phone...
Shido Itsuka.
Who, me?
Yes.
How do you know my name?
You don't remember?
Hey, who is she?
You don't know Origami "Super Genius" Tobiichi?
Ori... gami... Tobi... ichi?
She's always at the top of her class.
She's good at sports, and she's beautiful.
She's never dropped out of the top three of my "Girls I'd want for a girlfriend" list.
I can't believe you don't know the most famous person in school.
But why does she know who you are?
That's what I want to know.
Oh, it's Tammie!
Good morning!
My name is Tamae Okamine, and I'll be your homeroom teacher this year.
Origami Tobiichi.
Why does she know who I am?
Why is she looking at me?
Why? What the heck is going on?
Itsuka, let's go home together.
Sorry, I've already got plans.
Oh, a girl?
Well, kinda. It's just Kotori.
I understand.
According to my research, there is no girl nice enough to have lunch with you.
You didn't need to say it like that.
There have been precursory signs
- It's a spatial quake alarm! - of an impending spatial quake in this area.
- There's one coming? - Let's evacuate for now. - This is not a drill.
- The shelter near school should be safe. - Please evacuate to the nearest shelter immediately. I repeat.
- Tobiichi. - There have been precursory signs...
Contriella aura avu yutorimme skalv.
Intensitetto folto shigelsa tori conma fein.
Monsto matchinihi Princess!
She's here.
I repeat.
There have been precursory signs of an impending spatial quake in this area.
This is not a drill.
Please evacuate to the nearest shelter immediately.
I repeat.
There have been precursory signs of an impending spatial quake in this area...
Calm down!
Don't forget your 3 D's! Don't push, don't run, don't walk?!
You should probably calm down yourself.
Y-Y-You're right.
I hope Kotori is evacuating safely.
I hope she isn't still trying to keep her promise.
Meet here even if there's a spatial quake!
I hope she's not waiting in front of the diner.
I hope she's gone to a nearby shelter.
She's fine; she just doesn't notice her phone because of all the commotion.
I'm sure that's what it is.
Let me check her current location.
Just in case... Just in case!
Hey, Itsuka!
I love you, big brother!
Why?
Thanks, big brother!
Why?
Why is she staying behind even though the city is being destroyed?
Kotori... Kotori... Kotori!
W-What... was that?
What is that girl doing?
You too?
You're here to kill me too?
You're here to kill me too, right?
If that's the case, then I'll deal with you first.
W-Wait... Wait a minute!
That's not why I'm here.
- What? - I couldn't kill anyone...
Besides, what about you?
Why won't they realize the futility of their attacks?
Why does she look?
Even though she's so strong...
Why is her face so sad?
Origami... Tobiichi?
Shido... Itsuka!
W-Why are you wearing those clothes?
Coordinates FJ 1820, target "Princess" has been Lost.
Area reaction waves below detection threshold.
- What? - Lost status confirmed.
Long time no see.
We finally meet again.
Who are you?
I'm so happy.
But just wait...
Just wait a little longer.
I won't ever let you go again.
I won't ever be wrong again.
So...
Hm? Looks like you're awake.
W-W-Who are you?
My name is Reine Murasame, and I am the Head Analyst.
Relax. I'm not certified, but I can perform simple first aid.
That doesn't help me relax at all.
Um, where are we?
Fraxinus's sickbay.
You were unconscious, so you were moved here.
Fraxi... unconscious?
Oh, right, I was caught up in the fighting...
Kotori! My sister. I'm looking for my little sister!
In front of the diner... She didn't evacuate, and...
Calm down.
She's fine.
Huh? Wha?
I'm sure there are a lot of things you want to know, but I'm not good at explaining.
You should just ask the commander for more details.
I've brought him.
Thanks for your hard work.
Nice to meet you.
I'm the vice commander, Kyohei Kannazuki.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Kotori?
Thanks for coming.
Welcome to Ratatoskr.
Penetration angle, check. ANS set.
Release connection.
Good work, Origami.
Captain Kusabe...
You're working yourself too hard.
This is the monster called a "Spirit."
It was Lost earlier, which means it disappeared.
- And this is... - W-Wait just a minute!
What is it?
The commander is taking the time to explain everything to you personally.
You should be sobbing with gratitude.
I'll even let you lick my boots right now if you want.
R-Really?
Not you!
T-Thank you very much.
Y-You are Kotori, aren't you?
Oh? Have you forgotten your little sister's face, Shido?
Not "big brother"?
I knew you were bad at remembering things, but I didn't think it was this bad.
It might be good for you to reserve a room at a nursing home soon.
What are you doing?
What is this place? And...
Yeah, yeah, I'll explain more later.
For now, just remember these three things:
One, that girl is a "Spirit."
She's not something that belongs in this world,
and just appearing here blows up everything around her whether she likes it or not.
Blows up?
You really are dumb.
Basically, the phenomena we call "spatial quakes"
are caused by the appearance of Spirits like her.
That girl... makes those?
Two, these are AST, the ground force's Anti Spirit Team.
When Spirits appear, they fly to the Spirit's location and take care of it.
That is, they kill it!
K-Kill it?
You're here to kill me too?
Three, there is a way to deal with Spirits without using the AST.
This is where your help is needed.
M-My help?
We'll have you start training tomorrow.
I'll leave the details up to the person taking care of it.
For now, just go to school as usual and...
W-Wait, what training?
Besides, what can I do, anyway?
No one was asking your opinion on the matter.
Your only option is "Yes."
Even so, what were you doing in that place, stupid brother?
Did you want to die?
I... I was looking for you!
Because you said, "Meet here even if there's a spatial quake"!
I did say that, but I didn't think you were dumb enough to take me seriously.
Of course I would!
Your phone's location information still showed you at the diner!
My phone?
Oh, yeah, I had it with me, didn't I?
We're directly above the diner here.
- Huh? - Disable the filter.
We're 15,000 meters above Tengu City.
We're aboard the airship Fraxinus.
It's the second day of the new semester,
and this class now has an assistant homeroom teacher.
My name is Reine Murasame.
I teach physics.
Nice to meet y...
Why did you suddenly become my teacher?
What is the meaning of this, Head Analyst Murasame?
You can just call me Reine, Shintarou.
My name is Shido.
Is that so? Sorry about that, Shin.
Were you even trying to get my name right? No, wait, that's not important.
It's more convenient to stay near you as part of the teaching staff.
You should've been able to figure that out on your own, you bombardier beetle!
Besides, why are you here with her?
What about school?
I got permission to come here.
Well, are you going to explain what I have to do, or what?
You'll see once you start using the training software. Reine?
Right.
A dating sim?
This is that game Tonomachi was playing...
No, it's not. Look at it more carefully.
My... Little... Shido?!
You...
...saw me yesterday.
Yeah.
Please don't reveal this to anyone.
It would be better if you forgot everything else you saw yesterday, too.
Are you talking about that girl?
Hey, Tobiichi, that girl...
She's a Spirit.
Something that I must defeat.
Are they really that evil?
Five years ago, my parents were killed by Spirits.
In a town where everyone's looking down
(Dead or Alive)
A dry wind blows through
Eyes looking for light
(Dead or Alive)
Reflecting only despair
Cries that no one hears
Stifling them with that searching hand
In a world where everything is broken
It's still scary to be touched by kindness
Without knowing the reason
Are you the one who will fill
the space left by the hole in my heart?

Morning, big brother. It's Ririko!
Looks like things have gotten pretty bad.
But you'll be okay. I'm sure you can do it!
Hey, Shido, you're trying not to hurt or kill the Spirits, right?
But if you let them be,
there will be spatial quakes, and the town will be destroyed.
Then what if you tried talking to the Spirits to make them like this world?
That's right. You've heard how everything looks beautiful when you're in love, right?
Itsuka, that means...
- That means... - That means...
In other words, go on dates...
...and make the Spirits fall for you!
Have fun conversations...
On flirty dates...
And make them fall in love!
That's Shido's...
Itsuka's...
Big brother's...
...J-O-B!
So work hard on your training!
Kill or kiss before the world ends
Though you don't even know the "L"in love
Oh, why isn't there a tutorial before the real thing?
Only my feelings to fly to the front lines
I start panicking when I see how cool you are
At the mercy of the happiness meter
Are you playing with me? Am I a toy, or something less?!
It's a long way
The journey to you is never-ending
I can keep running at full speed
Can we meet again? Will you trust me again?
Save the world with counterfeit love
Kill or kiss before the world ends
I'll be happy if you smile for me
