Episode Title:
The Witch-Hunting Festival.
Episode Description:
Due to Usagi's poor grades her mother announces plans to bring forward the date of her arranged marriage. The academy begins its Witch Hunting Festival where students can earn extra credit and money. Takeru immediately signs up 35th Platoon to take part as his parents left him with large debts and his little sister to support so he is desperate for money. Usagi decides not to tell her friends she is leaving. She bumps into Reima Tenmyoji, organiser of the festival and also her cruel fiancé who thinks of her as his property, causing her to have a panic attack. Takeru comforts her and promises to help her before she passes out from fear. Oka is summoned to meet youthful looking Student Council President Nagaru Hoshijiro who wants her help dealing with a legendary witch, Mephistopheles, who can break peoples minds. Takeru stays with Usagi in the hospital as even in her sleep she won't let go of his hand. Nagaru believes Reima is somehow linked to Mephistopheles as his transfer to the academy coincided with the murder of several students, including one who had her mind broken. Usagi tells Takeru about Reima and Takeru invites Usagi to spend the night at his apartment. Usagi believes Takeru plans to get her pregnant so she can't marry Reima and eventually decides it is a good idea. Although Takeru had planned no such thing they almost kiss when she tries to seduce him naked in his living room. However they are interrupted by Mari, Oka and Ikaruga, who, in fits of jealousy, punish Takeru severely for not trying to seduce them as well. Takeru asks the girls to help save Usagi by raising her grades enough that she can stay in school. They plan to do well in the festival and earn enough extra credit for Usagi to raise her grades. Ikaruga plans a cosplay event for the festival, which embarrasses everybody.
