SENSITIVE INTELLIGENCE REPORT – RESTRICTED DISSEMINATION
SUBJECT: 1. SUCCESSFUL KURUMI ATTEMPT TO EARN TRUST OF KURONUMA SAWAKO AND CREATE DISTRACTION.
…………….2. RECENT INCREASE IN KURUMI ACTIVITY IN VICINITY OF KAZEHAYA.
DATE: EARLY DECEMBER 2009
SOURCE: A RELIABLE SOURCE WITH INDIRECT ACCESS
1. UNFORTUNATELY KURUMI HAS SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED TO MAKE INROADS WITH KURONUMA SAWAKO, LIKELY FOR THE PURPOSES OF SPREADING DISINFORMATION AND OBTAINING INTEL. SOME LEVEL OF TRUST OR RESPECT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN INSTILLED VIA HER FALSE FRIEND OPERATION, THOUGH IT IS STILL IN ITS EARLY STAGES. THIS IS MOST TROUBLING AND STATION RECOMMENDS INCREASED INTELLIGENCE GATHERING BY ALLIED HUMINT CONTACTS ‘NARROW EYES’ AND ‘HUNDRED MEN’ TO DISPEL THIS DISINFORMATION.
2. DESPITE SUCCESSFUL DISINFORMATION OPERATION AGAINST SAWAKO, KURUMI HAS BEEN OBSERVED TO BE INCREASINGLY ACTIVE IN ATTEMPTING TO GAIN ACCESS TO KAZEHAYA. THIS SEEMS TO BE OF A FASTER PACE THAN NORMAL KURUMI OPERATIONS AND MAY SIGNAL A HURRIED ATTEMPT TO GAIN A FOOTFOLD BEFORE UPCOMING ATTACK. GIVEN ITS UNCHARACTERISTIC SPEED AND OPENNESS, THIS ACTIVITY MAY INDICATE THAT KURUMI IS WORKING AGAINST SOME SORT OF DEADLINE. THIS MAY PRESENT AN OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT INTEL OR TAKE DIRECT ACTION IF SHE TRIPS UP DUE TO HASTE.
That’s it. I may have harbored a little bit of doubt about Kurumi’s evil intentions, part of my mind giving her the benefit of the doubt despite all the evidence. But this is even more vile and insidious than the rumor mongering and feigning innocence. This episode Kurumi ramps up her efforts at getting Kazehaya’s attention, but mostly spends her time trying to convince Sawako that she’s her friend. Poor Sawako, so sweet and innocent to the evil of the world, is clearly taken in by this offer of friendship. A friendship Kurumi clearly only cultivates to use against her at a moment of her choosing. The timing is far too suspicious for me to think otherwise: while only bumping into Sawako once in the past, now that Sawako has Kazehaya’s heart Kurumi purposefully seeks out Sawako and puts on her sweetest face to her. She’s likely been sneaking around herself or through operatives and heard of how positively Sawako responds to offers of friendship and knew just how to appeal to her. She even goes so far as to compliment Sawako in the same way Sawako thinks of her, only to turn the compliment into a disparaging remark moments later behind Sawako’s back. Now she can distract Sawako with her gestures, gain intel, and be better able to interrupt Kazehaya and Sawako’s interactions. One can only hope that in Kurumi’s recent zeal to get involved in her dirty work herself she will reveal herself for what she truly is and Sawako, with the support of her allies and friends, can learn not to fall for the same trick twice.
But in happier things Sawako has improved her soccer skills greatly in preparation for the sports festival, and even developed a bit of Kuroko teleportation ability. Apparently all that training with Kazehaya has paid off in terms of both sports and communication. The soccer team seems like it will be formidable in time for the tournament, and Chizu and Pin continue to plan their soccer domination with BURNING PASSION. Sawako is however in an awkward new stage of her feelings for Kazehaya, not knowing exactly what to say when she’s near him, complicated by her chest hurting when she tries to think of something. Kazehaya notices this, and despite his none-too-small amount of shyness in such matters, was about to call her by her first name and likely admit something of his feelings when Vichy-tan showed up to ruin the moment and rub salt in the wound by making her most overt appeal of false friendship yet. I sense that there will be decisive action taken by Kurumi at the sports festival, and the Sawako Alliance must be on full alert as it approaches. Mark my words, the attack will happen there.
Crusader’s Record of Kazehaya War
Quite why she thinks her self as unladylike is beyond me, because she looks DECULCHA with them twin tails.
Despite the freezing temperatures up here my rage burns all the more furiously at this new ploy of Vichy-tan, the scum sucking bitch has decided to intervene in the budding relationship between Sawako and Kazehaya , but with a little help from Almighty Zeus her intervention will be more disastrous that Nasser’s intervention in Yemen with a Six Day War to follow. Unable to be a lady and compete openly, Vichy-tan has elected to try and incite feelings of inferiority in Sawako and she fails mostly because Sawako has no concept of jealousy or other such foul feelings. Instead Sawako mistakes Vichy-tan for a hero and ponders how best to copy her. Yano and Yoshida shut that idea down and to be honest her twintails are far superior to Vichy-tan’s haircut she overpaid for. All Vichy-tan can do is bug Kazehaya about her Ali Project CD and shit taste in music while Kazehaya gets lost in Sawako’s eyes. Sawako is unable to make heads or tails of her heart pain but at least her glorious ignorance prevents her from weeping about her perceived inferiority while she has qualitative superiority over her enemy. Kazehaya attempts to get over his embarrassment, but just as he would have made Patrick proud and confessed his feelings Vichy-tan intevenes and tries to claim herself as an ally of Sawako. I am utterly aghast and incensed by this outrageous plan of hers, not only does Vichy-tan hope to incite jealousy in Sawako , but now she wants to make her impending treachery all the more base my having it come from a so called friend. I hope this best friend card she attempts to play will back fire in a manner most messy, I know what she is up to; she simply wants to prevent Sawako from making progress by trying to get Sawako to put friends first and forgo the her own feelings of love, while Vichy-tan tries to improve the rotten edifice that is her current relationship with Kazehaya.
I am rather disappointed that Sawako mistook that bitch for a true heroine, clearly Sawako needs to be educated in the Labors of Alphard to understand what a woman should be or at least aspire to be. Vichy-tan is most quick with the insults and her false sincerity makes her all the more unforgivable and her impending betrayal all the more disgusting. I think that at this point Vichy-tan is irredeemable and doomed to fall into the deepest layer of hell. She is not worth cheering and is beyond redemption in my view even if Sawako forgives her, I will not. It is my sincere hope that Yoshida BIG BANG PUNCHES Vichy-tan IN THE NAME OF SHINING ZEUS so that the treacherous little wench will be SMASHED INTO ATOMS at the first sign of treachery.
I’d be embarrassed too if it was a two faced scum sucking bitch who has earned the scorn of Patrick Colasour and Alphard, whose days are filled with Fake Tears that Noe tosses back, and above all else no chance for happiness.
And you’re like a Barbie doll, cheap, mass produced with no value…whose only purpose is to be blown up by GI Joe with fire cracker artillery.
…you have sensed a disturbance in the Force have you not?
Why look like that scum sucking bitch when twin tails always gets his undivided attention…?
With friends like that who needs enemies? Hooray for QWALITY ANIMATION for Vichy-tan’s eyes for they reflect her crookedness and cock eyed attitiude.
ExecutiveOtaku’s Unadulterated Adoration of Sawako and Current Intelligence Report
Hopefully she’ll put it to as good a use as Kuroko. Perhaps some metal spikes directly into Kurumi’s treacherous heart!
EO’s DAAAWWWWW of the Week.
Not for you he’s not.
And about as effective as the French in open combat, thus her subterfuge.
How perfect: Kurumi is literally the viper under the innocent flower.
Again, the eyes. This time filled with cruel delight at her successful lies.
Kazehaya with male Chizu and Ayane in tow.
Speaking a demon’s true name is a well known form of exorcism.
Sharing a moment of Newtype psychic communication amid a moment of shyness.
All this talk about CDs, getting a little desperate for pretexts to talk aren’t we Vichy-tan?
Hime does not approve of Kurumi’s corruption of Fluffiness in service to evil ends.
Your current style suits you too well to abandon it for such an artificial hairstyle.
Chizu and Ayane agree. This is also the first time that Sawako has actually looked legitimately scary.
The bancho look?
Or perhaps the underworld queen style?
And there’s always the classic yanki look.
I would agree.
I look forward to seeing Chizu burn up the soccer field with her HOT BLOODED PASSION!
She’s slowly learning some human intelligence collection skills. Valuable bit of intel, that childhood friend connection.
What could have been a great moment, spoiled by a nefarious interloper.
Kazehaya steams with embarrassment only for one girl. Here’s a hint: she’s not a conniving harlot.
Overthinking and overinterpretation is a common mistake in shoujo. Learn well from this insight, Sawako.
Your attempts at yuri seduction are temporarily confusing but ultimately ineffective. What depths you’ll go to, whore, to crush true love and get your way.
