Amid the effulgent camera flashbulbs galvanized by the fanatical and frenzied volition for the ideal photograph, Akiha has her reservations about the mission objective which Honoka promptly replies with a "Not another word about the ICP!" telekinetic sweep that knocks Akiha on her bottom unaware that she is what Bougainvillea and Mintao are having a briefing complete with an injunction about the Shishido family. While Itsuki is cautioned about Bougainvillea and Mintao, Leopard's web-surfing on her computer incenses Akiha enough to confront the AI and declare her autonomy only to have the mission objective reaffirmed, acquiring the Positron Matrix, before being sent on her way with Imoko. Meanwhile, Itsuki is summoned when a psychotic Nervalist iconoclast decides to wreak havoc only to find that she cannot even defend herself, never mind attacking him. Several members of the Student Council combining efforts with Honoka to stalemate and eventually neutralize the assailant sets the stage for a sequence that explains the common prologue both Honoka and Itsuki share with the Nervalists and the X-QT race, the latter having a near-complete computation crash as she tries to interpret all she has experienced while the ICP deals with the aftermath. Leopard reads Akiha finding the Positron Matrix right when Itsuki arrests her as the perfect opportunity to humble Akiha's recalcitrance by phasing away parts of her Q-TECTOR. Unfortunately, since Itsuki is in the same boat, that forces an armistice as Akiha and Itsuki collaborate to evacuate with some of their dignity and modesty unaware that Honoka has already successfully acquired the mission objective.
今日は、アタシの通うスール学園の学園祭。イモちゃんのクラスは乗り物喫茶をやってるんだって。みんな楽しそうだなあ！
ギクッ!? にぎやかな校内に響く獅子堂秋葉、理事長室への呼び出し放送！ アタシなんかやったかしら？ 理事長先生とエミリオ先生に見せてもらったのは、レオパルドが学校のメインフレームに送りつけてきた犯行予告だったの！ 発信元を調べたら、アタシが貸してあげた端末だったんですって！ んも～う、バカパルドのヤツ、ナニを考えてるのよ!! もちろん端末は没収よ！ だいたい、ちょっとワガママ聞いて上げただけで「しもべ」だの何だのって信じらんない!!
その頃、学園祭でにぎわう学園コロニーの学令再編特区では大事件が起こっていたらしいのよ。なにやら箱をかぶった男子生徒が、すごいQT能力で暴れていたらしいの。ほのかちゃんがそっちに向かったと聞いて駆けつけたんだけど、なぜか会えたのはボンデージ衣装の下山さん？ いえ、事件の最初からずっと不思議に縁のICPのお姉さん・神凪いつきさんだったの（どうりで会ったコトがある気がしたのよね）。学令再編特区内で何があったのかは分からないけど、どうやら解決したみたい……。
そして夜、あたしはレオパルドが必要だという「陽電子マトリクス」を探して学令再編特区の校舎に潜入。……バカパルドのためにナニやってるんだろアタシ!? なんだかほのかちゃんに言われると弱いのよね。
そこには下山さん、……じゃなかった神凪いつきさんとナビの刑事さんが待っていて、アタシは現行犯で逮捕！ さらにバカパルドの悪だくみまで仕掛け
