Mahoraba 16
After taking a look at the picture book Shiratori did for a project ("Haru" that was in the last two episodes) Shirogane-sensei calls Shiratori for a talk and informs him that she'll be making a little visit to Narutakisou. Shiratori's three friends go along with them, with "hot stuff" still looking here and there for his beloved Reiko (Shiratori as a girl).
Back at Narutakisou, Tamami places something on the wall outside, a charm to protect from evil spirits, she says. Asami-chan walks up with her two friends: Sa-chan, the Kansai-ben speaking friend, and Mi-chan, the friend with the very ojou-sama attitude (who also calls Asami-chan Kurosuke-san). Someone else is also there... that girl Asami-chan met at the beach. She's Mahiru, and she's there along with her maid, Tachibana (who's a kick-ass maid, much like Lilica from GIRLS Bravo second season). Mi-chan tries to get Mahiru to play with her, but Sa-chan smacks her over the head with a dictionary to quiet her down ;)
They go to Asami and Sayoko's room and there's Sayoko, sleeping as usual instead of working. She finally does wake up, and when she does her gaze meets Mahiru's...
Kozue prepares dinner using a rather big nabe since there seem to be a lot of visitors. That charm Tamami-chan put up is a barrier... a barrier to keep out Buchou, who comes by to visit.
Asami-chan's friends offer to help her out with the work, but Mahiru calls in Tachibana and do it themselves rather quickly, dashing Mi-chan's hopes of working together with Asami-chan ;)
Back outisde, Buchou's still trying to get through the barrier by summoning one of her demons when Johnny (and his human) comes by and picks up the bag of garlic that was the barrier. Buchou's thinks them the demon she summoned. Johnny responds as you'd think, saying she gives him a bad feeling. Buchou loves it and asks for more, making Johnny run off :) Johnny takes bag of garlic to Kozue, who then uses them in what she's making as the secret ingredient.
Mahiru and Tachibana finish making artificial flowers, and Sayoko wakes up smelling dinner ready. Shiratori and Shirogane-sensei and the rest then arrive to find Buchou still outside trying to get through the next barrier (of garlic). Tamami-chan steps out to see Buchou and both get ready to have a summoned monster fight. Johnny and Momono (drunk as usual) walk out in the middle of it with Momono going to Tamami-chan's side and Johnny to Buchou's side.
And so the battle begins.. well, an imaginary battle only Tamami-chan, Buchou, and Shirogane-sensei can see ;) During the battle a smell drifts out from the house... it's curry! So everyone rushes to go have some. And after having their fill, everyone returns home. It wasn't really a house visit for Shirogane-sensei, but she did learn how Shiratori could draw something like that. And now she'll be visiting the other's houses.. Meanwhile, crazy Buchou is eating what's left of the curry straight from the nabe
This did turn out to be just about a Buchou main story, didn't it? Such a creepy girl... wait, she'd like me saying that :P I wish they would've included the scene from the manga where Shirogane-sensei and Tamami-chan become "brothers", but oh well, can't get everything you ask for ;) Besides that change, Mahiru and Tachibana didn't come to visit in the manga. I can't say much about them for now, besides that there is a reason why they had Sayoko and Mahiru look at each other for that long, and that Mahiru and Tachibana will be back sometime.. Wonder when we'll get to that...
Anyways, enjoyable as usual this time even with those changes. For having Shirogane-sensei visit Narutaki-sou, it didn't turn out that bad for Shiratori, didn't it? ;)
that's just evil Matthew! I can't d/l the newest raws of Mahoraba without going over my bw limit here at RU!
*shakes fist* evil man, evil!
What a waste. They bring Shirogane-sensei to Narutakisou but don't have any Shirogane/Tamami interaction?? Bastards. But it was still a fun episode. Ponytail boy still needs a bullet in the head though.
can't protest because they made this episode a Buchou fan-service :D
too bad, want to see Shirogane sensei finish both of them.
actually, she tried calling Allistair Crowley (sp?), a famous occultist, something to do with satanism also ^^;
