## Summary

Riri grows accustomed to her school setting and tries to get Yuyu to become her Schutzengel.

### Plot

Riri awakens on her first day at the academy. We're then introduced to her roommate Shizu Itō who helps dress her. At the cafeteria Riri enjoys some breakfast breakfast. In the restrooms Araya approaches Riri, but is stopped by Kaede when Araya gets too close to Riri. As Araya shifts her attention to Kaede to tease her, Riri takes the opportunity to escape.

Outside of the Gardenia House, Riri meets with Yuyu and tries to thank her senior, however, Yuyu acts coldly toward her and pays no attention to her. Later outside of the main building, Riri meets with Fumi, it's there learned that they're in the same class together along with Kaede. The three spend most of the day together and Riri mentions that she'd like Yuyu to be her Schutzengel and Kaede gives a small explanation about it. However, Yuyu wouldn't acknowledge Riri, but it's also stated by Kaede that Yuyu doesn't even belong to a Legion as she constantly fights alone. To that point, Riri asks Kaede to train her CHARM skills and Kaede agrees.

Afterward in the auditorium, the trio watch 2nd year Soraha Amano and 1st year Kusumi Egawa hold a mock training battle together. Fumi details that the two made a Schutzengel together and when they're done, both Riri and Kaede active their CHARMs. Just then Miriam joins them stating she's there to tune CHARMs as it's her specialty for being in the Arsenal Division. After gauging Riri's CHARM, Miriam invites the group to the Arsenal Division. Meanwhile, in the Arsenal Division, Moyu and Yuyu briefly talk with each other and sometime after Yuyu leaves, Riri's group arrives. They walk in on Moyu as she tries to create a new CHARM, but fails. They're all then given an explanation of about Charms and the inscriptions of how they work.

At the cafeteria, Riri learns from Moyu what CHARMs Yuyu used in the past and the present. When asked why she switched CHARMs, Moyu refuses to answer as it's a breach of privacy if she answers that question. Elsewhere, Yuyu practices with her newly tuned CHARM in the shooting range as Mai Thi Yoshimura watches her. Resolved to have Yuyu make a Schutzengel pledge with her, Riri approaches her in a hallway and requests that she become her Schutzengel. However, Yuyu bluntly refuses stating that she'd merely become a hindrance to her tactical abilities. Hearing this, Kaede tries to smack Yuyu, but Riri stops her only to be smacked by Yuyu. Kaede then smacks Yuyu and chastises here, who then agrees to become Riri's Schutzengel.

Later at the bathhouse area, Kaede tries to give Fumi and Riri some sound advice only for it to be corrected by Miriam. Back at her room, Riri talks with Shizu about her day, while Yuyu talks with Misuzu about her Schutzengel pledge with Riri, to which, she hopes Riri regrets it.
