Hmm, something funny happens if you try google translate '緋宵' -Akeyoi- (Scarlet Evening). Google will give you "Hangover". I'm not aware if this a new word or something in the latest revision of Japanese Dictionary lol
But, this could explain why Houki is "indulge/drown" with power. Or it's just a pun to Houki being drunk at the end of volume 7. Or may be Houki been dancing to the wrong dance her whole life that made the 'tsun' part of her personality

I don't believe Houki, or any other girls her age, would purposely 'jumped' into something that makes you crave for power. Well, it's not like Houki can choose her own family, or her own name, or choose not to be Tabane's sister. I think the only people that you can call relatives that show kindness to Houki is Aunt Yukiko, so kudos to 8-bit if they include her in the OVA
神楽 Kagura (literally Gods' Entertainment). For a family that has their own shrine, I'm going to take that the Shinonono also believe in "Possession". So Houki's problem might stems from overdependence or overuse of her family swords (the sword and the techniques) that they sometime 'possessed' her. Still unsure if Tabane also having the same problem, because in vol 2 epilogue, the novel says Tabane never did any sports, and in vol 4, when Houki was reminiscing about the pasts, only her, Chifuyu, and Ichika were together at the dojo, though in Houki's album the four of them are in the picture. More plaudits to 8-bits if they show how Tabane actually looks like in a 'family' photo

Hmm, it looks like I made a little, silly mistake. Houki only hit Tabane with a single sword sheath, not two. Well, it doesn't specify any number, but I guess I mistaken "Nihontou" as "2" for reading it too fast. Sorry
But all other details are the same. Some other parts that were omitted: Houki carried Uchigane's spare parts together with her, just like the other 4 girls who carried the parts for their Personal IS. The beach was locked down for the purpose of testing new equipment for IS. (pg 163) So why did she carried those parts? For me, it is because - She doesn't want to be treated differently from other personal IS users. She did her own parts, just like she did applied for her own training IS in vol 2. - may be she thought Akatsubaki was a customizable Uchigane (just like Kanzashi's Uchigane Mk. II), that she needed to bring together the parts For Tabane's omitted scene: After she arrived and introduced herself, Chifuyu told the students to ignore her and continue with the testing. When Maya asked Chifuyu what to do, she told her too to ignore Tabane, and help the students. Tabane said Chifuyu is kind, and then she called Maya "おっぱい魔神め" Oppai Majin Me, (Damn Titty Devil) and accused her of deceiving Chifuyu. Tabane then played with Maya's breasts (pg 167). .....

Eh? What does this mean? I saw this thread pop up in my subscriptions, and I haven't been in this sub-forum in a long time, but did something change? Wait, if it's a novel spoiler, please don't share. Kinda seems absurd for the main heroine to change. That's as shocking as the time I apparently read about Chifuyu's eggs

Wha? Being reduced to nothing is a drastic change! I would feel terrible if I can't stare upon Houki's boobs I mean body everyday! That's like taking away Chifuyu-nee's oneesan status and turning her into a lolimouto......

Tsundere is never a healthy personality. Entertaining yes but not healthy. Tsundere usually signifies repressed emotions on a conscious level and denial of one's desires. Though it can also count up to self control generally it's the actual opposite and the person who is taundere lashes out violently, physical or otherwise.

Well, not healthy, but realistic! Human consist of two part: The Man and The Beast. As I see it, Tsundere is a great person that has the ability to surpass the boundary, both good and bad.
Also, Alastor, we all love Jelly Yui, right? |

There's a separate board for discussing Yui, Fire :/
Also, she has PTSD, which is decidedly not something normal for a 17 year old girl. On topic, most tsunderes are actually pushing the boundary of how people can react. People like Houki would be considered as someone who needs help, because bouts of homicidal rage coupled with physically beating people with a wooden sword is considered as domestic abuse in most countries. Not that I mind it in particular, but you'd think that I.S Academy, of all places, would have a staff of councilors on hand. Or a qualified psychologist.
