H–Help! Help me!
Ah, Anzu-dono! What perfect timing, this is a literal godsend~!
You are truly Buddha himself! A savior descending from the heavens! An archangel! No— a goddess~♪
Ah, please don't give me the cold shoulder and say "I'm not a goddess or anything"! Don't ignore me~!
Uuu! I have a bad habit of embellishing too much when I speak! I am a ninja, and yet I am so over the top! I am sorry if I upset you!
Anzu-dono! I feel terrible asking this, but would you please lend me your aid!
As you can see, I'm in a desperate situation...!
Well, you see, it happened because I'm a ninja! For a while now, I've had my eye on this skybridge as the perfect ninja spot!
I thought that it would be fun to just shutatata…scurry along this long ceiling! It would definitely be so ninja-y!
I jumped from the trees and managed to get onto the roof, but...
The impact from my jump caused a branch to crack and snap off!
And so, I have lost my only way to get back down to the ground!
I'm like a kitten that got so excited climbing a tree that now it can't get back down!
This is the greatest mistake of my life! If anyone sees me like this, it’s over!
I'd be disgraced for all eternity! No one would ever recognize me as a ninja again!
Huh? You're saying no one's ever seen me as a ninja in the first place…?
How absurd! You recognize me, surely– if you possess a heart as wide as the ocean and as tall as the mountains…!
Aaa, don’t go! Please help me~ee. This is a real, genuine emergency!
You're going to go get a teacher? If that's the case, I beg you, please don't~!
I am the only member of my club, the Ninja Association, and we aren’t in good standing to begin with! We’re not even minnows, we’re krill!
If I cause trouble for the teachers, my club will seem equally as troublesome. They might even disband us!
My fate is hanging by a thread! Please, help me any way you can~!
Huh? What are you doing, Anzu-dono? You’re spreading out your arms…?
Huhh? You want me to jump down? – Are you saying you’re going to catch me!?
Sometimes you’re the manliest student in the whole school, Anzu-dono…!
You’re a total inspiration for me~♪
Aaalright! Then if I may, I shall entrust my life in your hands, Anzu-dono!
Ju~ump! Please catch me, Anzu-dono~☆
Huh, what the!? Why did you step out of the way so fast? I thought you were going to catch me~!?
Uwaaa? You tricked me! You’re neither god nor Buddha!
Eeep, this is no good! At this rate, I’ll have to make the landing on my own!
The only one you know you can rely on is yourself! Such is the solitary life of the ninja…!
Landed!
O–Ow, ow, owww… A–Aaa, my legs totally fell asleep~!
But I managed to stick the landing ♪
Hah! There’s no way you actually saw this result coming, did you, Anzu-dono…?
You believed in my abilities, and that’s exactly why you thought I’d be able to get back down on my own!
And that’s why you behaved like a cold, heartless jerk!
That’s Anzu-dono, alright~! I am deeply, deeply impressed!
I shall call the move I did in the landing a second ago “Anzu-dono style”, and pass it down through the generations in the Ninja Association!
I am indebted~! Should there ever come a time you require the services of a ninja, call upon me without hesitation ♪
