Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi 10

Everyone was called back by Liszt and that wasn't a common decision made and Ryoushi suspects that it could be some form of an emergency for such an urgent meeting to crop up. Ryouko was still troubled about the dream she had about Ryoushi and was felt embarrassed whenever she looks at Ryoushi. The urgent meeting was conducted due to an unknown individual spreading negative rumours about Otogi Bank and their hideout was even almost discovered, with Majo bringing reporters to her lab instead to pass it off. It was suspected that the person behind this was Shirou, the student council president of Onigashima high school but they could not think of what exactly does he plan to achieve by doing this. In order to counter the negative remarks, Liszt decides to start a 30% discount on all requests made, to boost their positive side and also to garner more loans in prepare for something unexpected that might happen. With that promotion ongoing, every member of the Otogi Bank are extremely busy with completing the countless offers that forms the long snaky queue in front of the Otogi Bank. From cleaning the pool to conducting lectures, every member was occupied with the requests and Alice had done the job of allocating these jobs accordingly. Back from a request, Ryoushi thinks about how Ryouko have been acting all wierd towards him and thinks that he might have done something wrong. Just then, he sensed someone targeting him and that individual reveals himself as Neko-san and wants to help Ryoushi. He knows everything about Ryoushi, about how he had confessed and his fears of being stared at; and he wants to help him become a real man to protect the girl that he cares about and suggests him to train under him. While Ryouko and Ringo were on their way back to the dorms, they spot an Onigashima high school student, lying injured and asks Ryouko to help her before passing out. She later wakes up after being taken in by Ryouko and Ringo and introduces herself as Reiko. She had been with Shirou but had wanted to sell her off after dumping her and sent delinquents after her and thus forced her to seek shelter outside of their territory. Ryouko, hearing how Shirou had deceived another girl again, wanted to find him immediately and take him down but Ringo suggests that she should stay put and decide on their actions later. Ryouko then suggests that Reiko should transfer to their school and that they will protect her from the delinquents. The next day, Ryoushi's training begins and Neko-san, with steel plated boots, started to train Ryoushi into removing his fear of being stared or seen and to train his combat skills up rather than staying in the sideline, unable to protect Ryouko upfront. Ringo was still a little suspicious about Reiko and wanted Alice to check on her again and to make sure everything was alright, Liszt sends Otsuu to keep a lookout on Reiko's actions and to report back to them if there was anything amiss. It was finally the last day of the promotion period and as usual, everyone was away for their various requests and even Alice was taken away by Mimi to conduct another request and that was the beginning of the plot Shirou had. Otsuu, while spying on Ryouko and Ringo's room, was tasered from behind and Taro, while on the way back from his request, was forced to follow the delinquents from Onigashima high school when they threw him Otohime's handbag. Ryouko leaves for the dorms first before Ringo and Ringo receives a call who tells her that snow white has seven "children" and they were all disappearing one by one. Ringo, in fear that her sister and her siblings were targeted, she rushes to check on them but they were all safe, which led Ringo into thinking that she had misunderstood and it was the Otogi Bank members who were being targeted. Ryouko reaches home and was confronted by Reiko, who tells her that she was a kind girl and would hardly doubt anyone and when Ryouko knows about her true colours, she was paralyzed and taken away. Mimi had initially planned to take Alice away as well, possibly after being asked by someone but had taken Alice and runs away when they were both faced with the delinquents. Liszt returns to the Otogi Bank and sees Alice missing and her note on the table that describes where she was going and Ringo rushes in to report that Otsuu and Ryouko were missing and all that she had found in her dorm was a taser.

now this was what i had been waiting for, for the past 2-3 episodes. finally... they brought "shirou" back into the picture from where a cool Ryoushi rebukes him in the early episode. with Reiko fainting in the dorms, it was rather obvious that she was up to no good and that the plan was to bring all the members out for the different requests so as to separate them and Liszt could have accidentally overlooked this. so Ryoushi could possibly get stronger after Neko-san's training which seems like a rushed-styled powerup, just like KHR with a mysterious man coming out of nowhere and telling them that their Vongola rings can be upgraded... oh well, at least we might get to see a more manly Ryoushi and a happy end to this series :)
