hontou ni sou omou?

Ichijou in love! I was quite surprised at who her paramour was but then again this is PPD and it’s Ichijou we’re talking about.

Becky’s the first to notice as Ichijou is behaving strangely. That is, even more strangely than she usually does. With input from the Intelligence Club, the girls’ busybody drive is kicked into high gear at the prospect of love gossip.

However peeking is a crime. Ichijou quickly discovers that she is being followed and takes counter-measures.

Having the fear of Ichijou put in her, Becky nonetheless is dragged into the search by Rei. There’s a marvellous Sadako (The Ring) reference when Mesousa visits the Courage Club.

Marvellous game interface mode as the search is on for Ichijou!

And it’s none other than the eccentric old alien captain who’s in charge of the Rebecca Miyamoto observation mission. He’s been secretly in touch with Ichijou via phone email.

I’m quite surprised that I actually managed to catch the Lupin III reference as I barely remember it. The MIB reference (especially the Tommy Lee Jones lookalike) was much easier and I think almost everyone got that without help.

Warning: Having common sense is almost certainly very bad for your sanity if you are a character in the PPD universe.

The couple manages to enjoy a few close moments together before the aliens forcibly recover their captain and the 1-C gang recover Ichijou. Becky displays some good sense and decides not to question Ichijou or pursue the matter further. Ichijou herself is happy that she did at least have her meeting.

Kurumi being represented by the Tower (but in Janga form). LOL Ichujou terrorising the Intelligence Club again.
