"Let the world! Be covered over with the worst possible Bad End! Your pure white future shall be stained black!"

Lest one be confused, Ookami "Wolfrun" Runtarou is not a werewolf. No such magical creature exists in this world. Needless to say, Bad Energy and the Bad End Kingdom that he is wont to blather on about also do not exist in this world. He is afflicted by that deluded mentality called 'chuunibyou' - Second Year Syndrome - and the ball of black paint that was in his hand is not magic, but ordinary mud.

Observe: It was in his hand. While he was busy posturing and speechifying, the key ingredient in his so-called black magic - actual mud - separated from his hand at speed. It now adheres to the face of a girl, framed on either side by pink hair that is tied up in pastry-shaped buns. Wolfrun has not met her before, but she is wearing the uniform of his middle school.

On some level, he is aware that this is a bad thing that he bears fault for. However, such is his affliction that he cannot admit it.

"W- Why, yes! This is what it means to be stained black! Behold the power of the Bad End Kingdom!"

"So what?"

Her voice is so low at first that Wolfrun can barely hear. As she approaches, he leans forward without thinking, so as to better hear what the girl is saying.

"Even I can do something like magic. Even I, when I focus my energy- My energy! MY ENERGY! The magical power to purify evil, Happy Shower!"

Her transition from whispering to shouting feels like it is less than a heartbeat, but that is not why Wolfrun collapses to the ground, weeping and clawing at his eyes. Nor is it any such thing as magic, which even Cure Happy does not possess in this world.

Miyuki slips the pepper spray back into her bookbag and goes looking for a place to wash up.
