Kaguya-sama: Love Is War – Ultra Romantic – 07 – The Dark Legend of Shuchiin
Let’s Have a Campfire
When Miko and Yuu are assigned by Miyuki to aid the understaffed Cultural Festival Committee, they are thrown into a maelstrom of enthusiasm. Miko is thrown off by the intense vibes, Yuu is, as we well know, used to this, and joins in with gusto. It certainly helps that the head of the committee is his crush—the ever sweet and ebullient Tsubame.
Yuu knows he’s far from Tsubame’s only admirer, and so takes strides to one-up all of the other guys’ attempts to sound informed, important, and valuable to her. When Miko’s ideals don’t mesh with the other committee members, Tsubame is there to step in and keep things calm.
When Miko’s own enthusiasm for a campfire is met with skepticism over the many difficulties involved, Miko refuses Yuu’s help and powers through the doubters with her fesity iron will.
As a member of the Disciplinary Committee, Miko deems it her duty to seize trust from the grown-ups. To that end, she uses her solid reputation as a good girl with the neighborhood association, gets the cooperation of the fire department, and knocks on every door in order to notify everyone of the school’s intentions and assure them it will be done right.
Onodera Rei, who was initially one of Miko’s doubters, ends up helping Miko out and the two find a rapport because, after all, she wants a campfire too!
First-Pressed Perplexity
The middle portion of the episode is given over to the Mass Media Club duo of Erika and Karen as they interview various clubs on the impending festival. They start with Kaguya and the Archery Club, and we learn that the two are absolutely hopeless Kaguya worshippers.
Not that I can blame them; she’s spectacular. When they ask a tough question about why she’s not participating in an upcoming tournament, Kaguya keeps her reply vague, since she’d never reveal the true reason: the possibility of going on a Christmas date with Miyuki!
After speaking to the ever-graceful Tsubame at the Rhythmic Gymnastics Club, the media girls head to the roof where the Astronomy Club’s mobbed-up Ryuujuu Momo is loath to speak to them, and directs them to Miyuki, who is working on a giant papier-mâché dragon coiled around a golden ball.
As with Kaguya, Erika and Karen are in awe of Miyuki’s quite nobility, especially when he cryptically declares he’s going to “get it done like a man” at the culture festival.
Finally, the girls check in on the thoroughly oddball Board Game Club, who may not necessarily let the fact their grand plan for “a game involving the whole school” was rejected stop them from implementing it. To be continued…
No Effort Is Wasted
The final segment feels like the weakest, at least at first, with Chika once again being exasperated by Miyuki being extremely bad at something—in this case inflating balloons. No matter how many he pops, Chika refuses to teach “the child” as she has in the past.
Nagisa tries to smooth things over by telling Miyuki to give up and try an easier task, but Chika rightly scolds her for encouraging him to aim lower.
Miyuki ends up going to the StuCo office to attempt to inflate his balloons, and finds Kaguya quietly sewing an apron for her class’s maid café. She says it’s fine for him to carry on, but the repeated balloon bursts soon become torturous.
He proceeds to lament the fact he’s so bad at ordinary things ordinary people do easily, and vents about his frantic desire to hide his weaknesses and struggle to deny his incompetence.
Kaguya sidles up to the frustrated Miyuki with a big warm smile, happy to have “unraveled another mystery” about her boy. She assures him that no effort is wasted. As always, her words are able to soothe his soul.
When it comes to admitting their feelings for each other and agreeing to go out, this is a task neither seems quite ready to pull off, which is a tremendous shame, since they both clearly want nothing else.
That said, Miyuki instituted a deadline for asking Kaguya out, and no matter how many new or old balloons pop, I’m looking forward to him ultimately getting the job done.
[ ☄️ ] iii sorta wanna make another oc just bc i wondered what a 'childhood friend' chara w/ mika as an fc to match kei's yuu would be like haha. him being the ultimate moral compass / disciplinary committee member would b interesting i think.
MIKI: What did Kaede-chan’s poem say? I’m curious now, too…
YOU: Umm, let’s see… “I love you so dearly, I can’t help but to care for you. However, that’s all I am able to do for now.”
YOU: “If ever comes the time where you can’t find your way, if you’re hurt, if you’re feeling tired, I want to lend you my strength”….
YOU: It was pretty well-written, so it left a strong impression on me.
MIKI: What a lovely poem…
YOU: Don’t you think so? But when I first read it, I had mistaken it for a love letter
YOU: Well, I haven’t been here for long, so there’s no way that would’ve been the case.
MIKI: Hmm…
YOU: What’s the matter? You seem lost in thought.
MIKI: …I got it! That’s it, that’s gotta be it!
YOU: What is it?
MIKI: The poem from earlier!
MIKI: Even though you’ve only been our teacher for a little while, you’ve still been lovingly watching over us this whole time, haven’t you?
MIKI: And even when we’re feeling lost, or troubled, or when we’ve been hurt, you gently reach out your hand to us…
MIKI: So I think, the reason why you were chosen was for kindness you have!
YOU: Is that so… Hearing you say that makes me really happy.
YOU: Well then, I don’t want to let you down, so I’ll keep trying my best from now on…
MIKI: Yeah, yeah! Do your best!
ITSUKI: Ah, Sensei. So this is where you were.
YOU: Yakumo-sensei… What’s the matter?
RENGE: A party, it’s a party
KOKOMI: We still haven’t had a welcome party for you, have we?
ASUHA: I thought it’d be important to promote a bond between us and the person we’ll be seeking guidance from from now on.
URARA: There’s no need for any explanation, let’s just go all out and have fun♪
YOU: Yakumo-sensei, is this really alright?
ITSUKI: For your behalf, the students got together and arranged this welcome party for you.
ITSUKI: So please don’t hold back and enjoy yourself.
YOU: Okay!
MICHELLE: For some reason, I feel so excited!
KAEDE: Sensei, you should come help us out, too.
YOU: Alright, I’m on my way.
HINATA: Yaay~! Let’s have a fun party!
YOU: Yeah!
YOU: Why did Shinju choose me, of all people…? That I still don’t qute understand…
YOU: But for now, I’ll just do what I can and try my best…
YOU: Even if it’s just a little bit, if I can lend my support to these girls, I’m sure that’ll be enough of a meaning as to why I’m here…
SUBARU: Sensei, what are you doing spacing out while looking at the sky?
HARUKA: It’s almost time, isn’t it?
YOU: Ahh, you’re right.
YURI: Hold it right there! Before anything happens, as head of the disciplinary committee, I have just one thing to say…!
NOZOMI: Yuu~ri! There’s no time for that, so save it for later, later!
YURI: Muu…
ANKO: Now, let’s get the countdown started. 3!
SAKURA: 2!
MIKI: 1!
Great big fireworks were launched into the space sky…
I could feel them resounding from deep, deep within my heart…
Disciplinary Officer!Yuu: (stuck in a tree) Someone please remove this thing immediately.
The same lizard that won't leave them alone: Teku!
Lilia: Sebek listen to me boy. If you want to win the human's affection you must save them.
Sebek: Why would I want the attention of such a loud and arrogant little human who is so weak they tremble at the sight of a lizard?
Lilia: Are you hearing yourself right now?
Silver:(picking up the lizard) You shouldn't harass people little guy. (Puts it in another tree)
Disciplinary Officer!Yuu: (Clumsily tries to climb down)
Silver: It's fine to just let go, I will catch you.
Disciplinary Officer!Yuu: (falls into his arms) Oh, thank you so much Vanrouge. You are quite brave and strong as well. I owe you. I won't overlook your habit of sleeping in inappropriate places but I will go easy on you.

Lilia (a nosy old man): Things are really heating up.

Lil' Special Forces!Yuu: Run faster!
Lil' Disciplinary Officer!Yuu: Slackers will be punished!

(The three will monsters begin sloppily wrapping the student in bandages around his head, arms, and legs)
Lil'Marine Biologist!Yuu: Better now?
Student: (looking at three sets of puppy dog eyes, unable to deny them) Yep...all better. (Hobbles out the room wrapped like a mummy.)
Music
Vater Goldlace: I expect you to sing perfectly on pitch. That is if you don't want to wake the baby. The lullaby must be done right or you'll wake them and if you wake them from their nap after it took me two hours to put them down I will fail all of you.
Lil' Gardener!Yuu: (sleeping lightly while being held)
The unlucky Student who has to do the solo in "Golden Afternoon": Oh, god.

Sam: You get so cranky when you are hungry.
The Headmaster Office
Crowley: This week's meeting begins now since everyone is here.
Student: Why is that thing staring at us?
Lil'(???)!Yuu: ( staring into his soul)
Crowley: Don't acknowledge them, I've been trying to train them to stop.
Lil'(???)!Yuu: (eyes oozing black ink)
Student: Please stop them. I'm scared.
Crowley: (sighs) They are just trying to get a reaction. Don't look you'll encourage them.
Crewel:(holding sleeping maid!Yuu and Tailor!Yuu) (One wrong movement and they'll be up again)
Lil'Tailor!Yuu: *wiggles in their sleep*
Lil'Maid!Yuu: (Light sleeper who cries when waking up)
Dr.Lazarus:(staring at Vet!Yuu, Marine Biologist!Yuu, and Nurse!Yuu) Which one of you put sedatives in Daddy's coffee this time?
(It was Nurse!Yuu)
Father Goldlace: (toweling off sleepy Gardener!Yuu) How you manage to doze off while covered in dirt I'll never understand. Don't fall asleep yet! I haven't finished brushing your hair!
Vargas: (fell asleep in his lazy chair snoring with Special Forces!Yuu snuggled up on his side)
Lil'Disciplinary Officer!Yuu: (blows whistle) BEDS ARE FOR SLEEPING! Bedtime is at 7:30 it's 7:15 and I can't get my jammies on!
(They are just frustrated they can't change clothes without help. They will have a meltdown any minute)
Sam:(in a food coma after Chef!Yuu helped make dinner. Baby Delivery person!Yuu is sleeping on his chest.)
Lil'Chef!Yuu: (patting Sam's head) Night night Daddy.
Crowley: (Scared) Please, just ho to bed.
(???)!Yuu: (hovering by Crowley's bed like a sleep paralysis demon.)
Odette Crowley: We had a nightmare. Can we sleep with you?
Disciplinary Officer!Yuu: Sebek Zigvolt! This is your final warning! You will be taken into Ramshackle and locked up to await punishment if you're disruptive activities continue!
Sebek: I HAVE DONE NO SUCH THING! I HAVE ONLY ACTED AS A PROPER GUARD TO HIS HIGHNESS AND KEPT UNSAVORY TYPES AWAY!
Disciplinary Officer!Yuu: DO NOT RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ME ZIGVOLT! As I was saying, you have pending charges. Disruption of the peace, breaking quite hours, Raised your voice in the library, breaking code of conduct, antagonizing fellow students, neglected responsibilities like attending class to tend to Draconia, and used force against fellow students including threats to please Draconia. Which I have on the record that he states he didn't ask you to do this. Up until now I've given you leeway by talking to your Housewarden and Vice warden but as it still persists jurisdiction wall to me.
Sebek: You don't have any right to-(gets hit with a riding crop)
Disciplinary Officer!Yuu: You are gravely mistaken. Is this is the behavior of proper guard? Not a bit of decorum or discipline to be found? What good is a dog that shows it's teeth so brazenly? I should have you muzzled and kenneled until you act properly. I have no choice but to whip you into shape myself starting with a nice set of chains and a collar to match.
Disciplinary Officer!Yuu: *paralyzed in fear* Foul beast.
Lizard:(licks eye) Teku!
Disciplinary Officer: Ack!! Back away!
Lizard: *skitters closer* Teku!
Malleus: Are you alright?
Disciplinary Officer!Yuu:*screams louder*
(Lizards, their greatest enemy in all forms. Despite their dislike of magic and therefore Malleus, Yuu can't truly face Malleus due to their fear of all things scaly.)
(This spells great doom or Sebek if Yuu wasn't so dense that they didn't know he was a crocodile.)
Crewel:(raising Maid!Yuu, and Tailor!Yuu) Okay, we'll watch Bluey.
Trein: (caring for Writer!Yuu and Noble!Yuu) Alright 1 hour of Hungarian folktales before music practice.
Vargas:(raising Disciplinary Officer!Yuu and Special Forces!Yuu) Where did they go? It's wrestling night.
Father Goldlace (oc, Mother Gothal): (raising Gardener!Yuu) No pouting dear, just watch Sesame Street till I finish your hair.
Dr. Lazarus Charon (oc, ferrymen from Hercules): (raising Nurse!Yuu, Vet!Yuu, and Marin Biologist!Yuu) kids, can you all stop fighting and just watch Doc Mcstuffins? You guys love Doc Mcstuffins. Now please let your daddy sleep.
Sam: (raising Delivery kid!Yuu and Chef!Yuu) *watches Chopped Jr. and Legends of the Hidden Temple with them* (they like games shows)
Crowley:(raising harpy!Yuu and Odette) *puts on Cocomelon and leaves as quickly as possible*
Nsfw:"What are the Yuus' sex life with their partners"
(Fem!Yuus because the male dynamics are completely different)
After this we go back to regularly scheduled wholesome content.
Riddle Rosehearts x Maid!Yuu-
Very vanilla. They are satisfied with missionary and cuddling after. You'd think they'd have a master/servant vibe but they don't bring that into the bedroom. Light flirting and teasing in public but they won't ruin their image with indecency. But Riddle does have a mommy kink and a praise kink. Yuu takes full advantage making Riddle lose his mind.
"It's okay baby, you can cum. Cum for mommy sweetie."
"Yesh, mmmnn! Mummy!~♡"
Leona Kingscholar x Vet!Yuu-
Leona doesn't initiate sex. He does however bother Yuu when he's in the mood, which is alot. Yuu will wait as long as possible because of their work. She isn't worried about Leona losing interest because he won't. Leona wants anything he can't have. Yuu waits until the end of the day to give her partner what he wants which leads to rough sex. They love rough sex with biting and scratching. They will go at it like animals and you'd think they hate each other. Whether fighting or making up the answer is sex.
"Where do you think you're going? You said you could take it. You sounded so cocky a minute ago. Now take it!"
"Shut the hell up! Unng~ If you'd just slow down I could adjust-nmm!"
Ruggie Bucchi x Chef!Yuu-
Food and fucking, what better than that. Yuu has a slight feeding kink. Not a fattening kink though. She just likes striking the moment Ruggie is full and relaxing. Ruggie doesn't try to escape at that point all he wants is to use Yuu's thighs as a pillow. I know the question. Do they do the thing? Yes, they do the syrup and whipped cream thing.
"Ayanfe? You're giving me that look."
"Mahal, get the chocolate syrup. I think you deserve an early dessert."
"Yes, Ma'am!!"
Jack Howl x Writer!Yuu-
And they call it puppy love~
But seriously they are too saccharin-sweet for kinky business. They are too pure! Too innocent! Too loving!
Until Jack gets in the mode and desperately clings to Yuu. He gets all whiney and tosses his tough guy persona. Lots of nudging and cuddling his girlfriend as she focuses on typing. He literally gets so horny it hurts as he waits as patiently as he can. He tries not to bite when he can finally mounts Yuu but he can't help it.
"Ja-akk please slow down! You're too big to-oo go this deep! I'll cum if you-ah!"
"Sorry...it feels so good. So tight. Please let me mark you."
Azul Ashengrotto x Marine Biologist!Yuu
Extremely kinky. They both understand how mentally fragile the other can be when it comes to love. One wants to be loved the other wants to love. Yuu is a bit obsessive which translates to body worship. Azul's controlling nature leads to using Yuu. They both are obsessive actually. Sexually Yuu will sit on Azul's lap while he talks to clients, kissing and nuzzling him while he pays no attention. When guests leave she will switch to blowing him under his desk. Yuu loves cock warming but Azul knows he won't be able to focus the entire time. He ends up breaking character every time and fucks Yuu over the table.
"Pearl, you look amazing wrapped around me. You'd look better with a collar and a leash wrapped around my hand. It will be easier than pulling you by the hair."
"Mmmn~♡"
"Sorry, I forgot how much you love that."
Floyd Leech x Orca!Yuu-
You ever seen a small dog on a big one? Sorry. Had to say it.
Biting so much bitting. It's just natural for them. They will also go it at a moment's notice. No fuss. No build up just raw animalistic fucking like nature intended. They aren't kinky because that implies that they aren't just fucking. They don't even care if they get caught, at least Floyd doesn't.
"Floyd! What the hell! Can't you two do it in your dorm? I sit there!"
"Fuck off! Can't you see we're busy."
Jamil Viper x Dancer!Yuu
Too tired to put extra energy into fucking. Unless Jamil is particularly agitated. Then he's rough and possessive. God forbid Yuu has a competition and is practicing with someone else. They love having sex when one of them feels jealous and let it be known Yuu gets jealous especially when others talk about how hot Jamil is.
"Do. You. like. It. When those girls complaint you when I'm right there?"
"Do you when you have your hands all over your partner? Do you think he'll care if I send him a picture of you riding my cock right now?"
"Only if you send it to your fan girl too. You're mine hibibi~"
Rook Hunt x Special Forces!Yuu
Insatiable. Fuck more than Yuu's prized rabbits. Kinky is a word they redefined. Really into BDSM but surprisingly they also switch roles alot. Enjoy predator/prey play, degradation, and bandage. While they aren't in an open relationship they have had threesomes. Vil can pretend all he wants but he has slept with them.
"Rat, if you make another sound I'll be forced to strike you again."
"mon amour, s'il te plaît, frappe-moi plus fort-ackk!!!"
Vil Schoenheit x Gardener!Yuu
Hate sex. I mean if you can't stand another person's personality but still find them extremely attractive you might just have fuck about it. Spiteful biting, clawing, and cursing. Vil may be prim and proper in public but this is different. He actually enjoys letting loose and Yuu doesn't complain about being held by the throat. Their little tryst will devolve once all the anger is gone to actually making passionate love.
"You were so mad earlier, you even broke broke skin this time. Now you're acting like a mother hen."
"Silence. Stop moving you are going to get the ointment everywhere. Do you want a scare?"
"Yes! I thought I made that clear. I can't wait to wear it everywhere and explain how I got it."
Idia Shroud x Otaku!Yuu
Toys. So many toys. They can't do it without edging, vibrators, pocket pussies, or dildos. God forbid they find something new to try out. They also love dressing up in cosplays. You don't want walk in on them, their is bo telling what they are doing. And yes to those wondering Idia does get pegged.
"Idia don't pout. I said clip-on not strap-on. I know you are disappointed but we already had plans."
"I know, but I thought I was my turn."
"Okay fine, but I still get to edge you."
Ortho Shroud x Dolly
No
Malleus Draconia x Noble!Yuu
What do you do if you need to save a dragon from a princess? Honestly, Yuu is very proper and keeps Malleus on a short leash. Premarital sex? Scandalous! They still do it in secret which leads to stealthy sex where they avoid getting caught. This is different because a railed-up dragon is hard to control but getting the even more stubborn control freak princess to back down is harder. It's a battle of stamina from there. Yuu hangs on out of spite.
"I'm...surprised you've lasted...my love."
"I'll pass..out after you...do."
Lilia Vanrouge x Celestial!Yuu
"Me and my wife saw you from across the bar and we really like your vibe."
Okay, seriously they are a bisexual couple who are no strangers to a bit of fun. They just don't have lovers around the kids. They are still very committed to their marriage. They have never told Malleus what their relationship with his parents was behind closed doors. Or Silver about his mother in Yuu's case. And yes that does make them brothers. It's complicated.
"We can always see if Crewel is willing to join us."
"Dear, I think as long as you're posing as a student it's illegal no matter how old we are. Plus I doubt the boys will forgive us if we go that far."
"I guess I have a goddess all to myself then. What a selfish man I am."
Silver Vanrouge x Odette Crowley
Well technically she's a dullahan, so.... Removable head. So you know.
I doubt he'd do it though. It would be pretty hot though. But he's on that respect woman mindset.
Sebek Zigvolt x Disciplinary Officer!Yuu
He's guilty of disturbing the peace officer! Please punish him! She has the crocodile in a chokehold and he ain't going nowhere. Sit.Stay.Beg. He follows orders like a puppy dog. That riding crop isn't for show and yes it's charged. But if he's a good quiet boy he gets rewarded.
"I'm glad we finally got to put that loud mouth of yours to good use. I'll keep my promise, if you make me cum I'll let you out of the cage."
