Rosario + Vampire II 26

Inner Moka attends the academy for a day.


Being so smart and good at fighting, you'd think Inner Moka would have enough common sense not to point the knife towards herself.

Summary:
In recent weeks, Inner Moka has become more active in voicing her concerns about Outer Moka's laziness and bad eating habits, so Outer Moka decides that it'd be good to let Inner Moka out for a day to experience what school life is like. So at the beginning of the next day, Moka asks Tsukune to remove the rosary and let Inner Moka roam free for the day. While Tsukune and Yukari are supportive, Kurumu and Mizore are a little worried, but at the same time they think this is a good opportunity to discover Inner Moka's weakness.

With her beauty, smarts, and athleticism, Inner Moka quickly earns herself a legion of fans among the school's students. At lunch, Kurumu and Mizore are beginning to think that Inner Moka has no weakness, but they refuse to give up just yet. The class after lunch is home economics where the girls are making pumpkin pie under Ruby's direction. Yukari is partnered with Inner Moka, but soon Yukari becomes scared of Inner Moka's pumpkin carving techniques. The end result of Inner Moka's labor is a huge mass of unknown substance that actually blew out a window. Kokoa arrives to try out Inner Moka's food and is immediately poisoned. While Inner Moka is in disbelief about her inability to cook, Kurumu, Mizore, Yukari and Ruby join and promise to help Inner Moka make the pie. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a bad idea as moments the later the whole classroom is on fire with Kurumu, Mizore, Yukari, and Ruby smashed into various walls and counter-tops. Inner Moka herself is relatively unscathed and carries a burnt piece of pie with her to the rooftops. Inner Moka passes Fong Fong on the way, and Fong notices that Moka's choker seems to creaking.

On the roof of the school, Inner Moka is about to throw the pie away, but she is stopped by Tsukune. Inner Moka reveals that she was planning to give the pie to Tsukune and lets Tsukune try out the pie. Tsukune takes a bite and finds it delicious much to Inner Moka's surprise. While the other girls watch from behind a corner in jealousy, Inner Moka tells Tsukune that she had fun today and wants Tsukune to thank Outer Moka for lending her the body. Tsukune puts the rosary back on to Moka's choker, but for some reason Inner Moka still remains. While Moka, Tsukune and the others try to figure out what's wrong, Fong Fong and Ling Ling suddenly show up and state that Moka's seal is becoming unsteady.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another non-serious, filler-ish chapter this month, but it looks like the story may be getting back on track in the next issue. This was another Inner Moka chapter and as expected it shows that Inner Moka is becoming more enamored with Tsukune, this time even going out of her way to bake some pumpkin pie for him. It's a little strange that Inner Moka doesn't know a thing about cooking despite Outer Moka being a fairly good cook (as stated by Yukari). I'd think Outer Moka would at least pass Inner Moka a cooking tip or two. Anyways despite the progress, it'll probably still be a while before we see anything concrete between Inner Moka Tsukune.

Anyways, the chapter ends with Tsukune unable to seal Inner Moka which probably leaves Outer Moka in some sort of limbo. Adding to this, Fong Fong and Ling Ling chose this moment to insert themselves into the story, and next issue we might finally find out what these two are really up to. Given Fong Fong and Ling Ling's personalities, they'll probably try to persuade Tsukune into joining their crime family in exchange for helping to reseal Moka. I think Moka's seal will eventually be broken (or getting really close to that state) and that breakage will probably destroy Outer Moka. This seems to be the most predictable route to go. We'll see how wrong/right I am in a couple of months.
