Attack Families!
SIGN Super Attack Families
[00:16] Game
Found! Okay?
[00:18] Tomozaki
It was through this game, Attack Families*,
SIGN Winrate: 2221 Now matching...
[00:20] Tomozaki
that I, Fumiya Tomozaki, got to know
[00:22] Game
Found!
SIGN Winrate: 2169
[00:24] Tomozaki
Aoi Hinami, the heroine of our school,
[00:28] Tomozaki
and, with her secret coaching,
[00:30] Tomozaki
began to walk away from my*
low-tier-character self.
[00:35] Tomozaki
She got me growing and developing
[00:37] Tomozaki
by seeing life as a game,
and myself as the character I main.
[00:41] Tomozaki
Hinami's strict with her instruction,
and we don't always see eye to eye,
[00:46] Tomozaki
but little by little, I've come to see
how fun this game of life can be.
[00:56] Tomozaki
Our eventful summer vacation
has come to an end...
[00:59] Game
Game set!
[01:01] Game
Winner: Found!
[01:01] Aoi
One more match!
SIGN NO NAME: One more match!!
[01:05] Tomozaki
Bring it on!
[01:07] Tomozaki
...and tomorrow's the first
day of the second term.
SIGN 2nd Stage: Lv. 1 The best games make reconnaissance fun
[01:19] Tomozaki
There.
[01:25] Little Sister
You've gotten better.
Still have a long way to go, though.
[01:29] Tomozaki
Th-thanks...
SIGN Sewing Room 2
[01:36] Aoi
Okay, since it's the first
day of the second term...
[01:42] Aoi
let's confirm a few things
before we move forward.
[01:46] Tomozaki
Sure thing. Hit me!
[01:48] Aoi
Your ultimate goal is
"To be as satisfied with offline life as I am."
SIGN Ultimate Goal To be as satisfied with offline life as I am
[01:53] Aoi
Your medium goal on the way there
SIGN Medium Goal: Have a girlfriend before year 3
[01:56] Aoi
is "Have a girlfriend
before starting year 3."
[01:59] Aoi
Got that?
[02:00] Tomozaki
Yep.
[02:01] Tomozaki
As long as meeting that goal doesn't
involve any false confessions of love
[02:06] Tomozaki
or spouting superficial stuff I don't mean,
[02:11] Tomozaki
I don't have a problem with it.
[02:13] Aoi
Very well. Then let's start...
[02:17] Aoi
with this:
[02:19] Aoi
observing interpersonal
relationships in the classroom.
SIGN Today's Task Observe interpersonal relationships in class
[02:23] Aoi
It'll lay the groundwork for learning
how to read the mood in a room,
[02:27] Aoi
and eventually how to control that mood.
[02:29] Aoi
Just so you know, the key here is--
[02:31] Tomozaki
It's okay--I know.
[02:34] Tomozaki
If I find a situation that'll
give me XP for trying,
[02:38] Tomozaki
take the initiative and plunge right in.
[02:43] Aoi
HEXactly!
[02:44] Tomozaki
And there it is.
[02:49] Mizusawa
Hey, Fumiya.
[02:50] Tomozaki
Oh, hey. Morning, Mizusawa.
[02:54] Mizusawa
Hey, did you hear?
[02:56] Tomozaki
Hear what?
[02:58] Mizusawa
Well...
[03:02] Tomozaki
What?! Nakamura and Izumi?
[03:05] Mizusawa
Shh! They're not making it public yet.
[03:09] Mizusawa
You know how Erika is into Shuji, right?
[03:12] Mizusawa
If this gets out, it'll mess up Izumi's
standing among the Konno girls.
[03:18] Tomozaki
R-right...
[03:22] Mizusawa
Hey.
[03:23] Takei
Yo, Takahiro! And Army Boy!
[03:25] Nakamura
Hey.
[03:26] Nakamura
Yo.
[03:27] Tomozaki
Mo... morning.
[03:29] Mimimi
Brain!
[03:31] Mimimi
Long time no see! Ooh, ooh--check this out!
[03:35] Mimimi
See? It's the dolls I gave everyone!
[03:38] Mimimi
AKA proof of our friendship!
[03:40] Hanabi
We all put 'em on our bags!
[03:42] Aoi
Great minds think alike!
[03:44] Mimimi
You gotta put yours on
your bag, too, Brain.
[03:47] Mimimi
Then we'll all match!
[03:49] Tomozaki
No, I-I think I'll pass, thanks.
[03:51] Mimimi
Ack! I've been shot down...
[03:54] Mimimi
Oh, Tama! I'm just shocked!
[03:57] Hanabi
Watch it, Minmi! Quit being so handsy!
[04:00] Mimimi
Oh, pitiful old me! I need consoling!
[04:03] Mimimi
Sniffity sniff.
[04:03] Hanabi
And no sniffing people!
[04:05] Mimimi
You're adorable!
[04:09] Tomozaki
Good morning, Kikuchi.
[04:11] Fuka
Good morning, Tomozaki.
[04:17] Yuzu
Hiya, Tomozaki.
[04:19] Tomozaki
Oh, hey, Izumi. It's been a while.
[04:22] Yuzu
Yes, it has!
[04:23] Tomozaki
I hear things are going great.
[04:25] Tomozaki
With Nakamura.
[04:26] Yuzu
Huh? Oh... y'know...
[04:34] Ms. Kawamura
Now, today we're going to pick class
captains for the sports tournament,
SIGN Sports Tournament / Captains / Boys: / Girls:
[04:39] Ms. Kawamura
one boy and one girl.
SIGN Events / Boys: Basketball / Soccer / Baseball
SIGN Girls: Basketball / Volleyball / Softball
[04:41] Ms. Kawamura
Then the boys and girls
will each pick one event.
[04:45] Ms. Kawamura
The captains' first job is to decide
which event to compete in.
[04:50] Ms. Kawamura
Any interested candidates?
[04:53] Takei
I'll do it!
[04:55] Hashiguchi
Seriously? You want Takei in charge?
[04:58] Matsumoto
He can't strategize his
way out of a paper bag!
[05:00] Takei
No sweat! We've got soccer, don't we?
[05:03] Takei
Well, I'm on the soccer team.
My leadership is on point!
[05:06] Nakamura
Takei!
[05:08] Nakamura
Weren't you the soccer captain last year--
right before a sudden losing streak?
[05:12] Takei
Geez, Shuji, you remember that?!
[05:19] Ms. Kawamura
Okay, that's Takei for the boys.
SIGN Sports Tournament / Captains Boys: Takei / Girls:
[05:23] Ms. Kawamura
What about the girls?
[05:24] Ms. Kawamura
Anyone?
[05:26] Takei
You're not gonna do it, Aoi?
[05:30] Aoi
I've got my student council
president gig--I probably can't.
[05:34] Takei
Aw, seriously?
[05:36] Mizusawa
Don't take it personally.
[05:37] Mizusawa
No one wants to work with you.
[05:40] Takei
What?! Is that what's going on?
[05:45] Erika
What's wrong with Yuzu?
[05:47] Yuzu
Huh? M-me?
[05:49] Erika
You were our first-year
captain, weren't you?
[05:52] Yuzu
Oh... um, but...
[05:59] Yuzu
This year? I-I don't know...
[06:05] Erika
Huh.
[06:06] Erika
Well, whatever.
[06:12] Erika
Okay, then:
[06:14] Erika
What about Hirabayashi?
[06:16] Hirabayashi
Huh?
[06:17] Erika
She's good at, like, preparation and stuff.
[06:19] Akiyama
Yeah, she is pretty preparation-y.
[06:22] Kozaki
What's that even mean?
[06:24] Erika
It'd be a big help if you'd be the
girls' captain, Hirabayashi.
[06:33] Tomozaki
Right now I lack the power to do
anything about this situation.
[06:38] Tomozaki
Say the wrong thing and I risk putting
Hirabayashi in an even tighter spot.
[06:44] Erika
So what's it gonna be, Hirabayashi?
[06:49] Hirabayashi
W-well, um...
[06:52] Hirabayashi
I'll... I'll do it.
[06:54] Ms. Kawamura
You don't need to let anyone twist
your arm on this, Hirabayashi.
[07:00] Hirabayashi
No, um... it's fine.
[07:04] Ms. Kawamura
Okay.
[07:05] Tomozaki
Groups are tough, all right.
[07:05] Ms. Kawamura
Then Hirabayashi will be the girls' captain.
[07:09] Tomozaki
Izumi was kind of blah all day after that.
[07:12] Tomozaki
She probably feels responsible for
Hirabayashi being put on the spot
SIGN Boys: Takei / Girls: Hirabayashi
[07:18] Tomozaki
after she turned down the captain gig.
[07:30] Tomozaki
Plenty happened this first
day of the second term.
[07:34] Tomozaki
A secret meeting with the school
heroine in the morning.
[07:37] Tomozaki
A normal conversation with
girls in the classroom.
[07:41] Tomozaki
Hanging out among normie guys after school,
[07:45] Tomozaki
teasing and being teased.
[07:49] Tomozaki
I've gone through unimaginable
changes these past few months.
[07:54] Tomozaki
But I didn't use a continue,
and I didn't cheat my way here.
[07:59] Tomozaki
I've just been walking a little
further forward--every day.
[08:05] Tomozaki
Still,
[08:06] Tomozaki
if that's true, when did she--
[08:09] Tomozaki
when did Aoi Hinami start on her path,
and how far has she come?
[08:16] Tomozaki
She got this far with dogged effort
after effort, just like me.
[08:22] Tomozaki
But there's one big difference
between Hinami and me:
[08:28] Tomozaki
Whereas I'm having fun and experiencing
the sparkle along the way,
[08:34] Tomozaki
she's set her eyes on
some far distant point
[08:39] Tomozaki
and is absorbed in moving forward,
like that itself is her only goal.
[08:44] Tomozaki
What let her keep going for this long?
SIGN Sewing Room 2
SIGN Mood = Norm for good/bad among a group
[08:52] Aoi
"Mood" refers to the norm for
good or bad among a group.
[08:56] Aoi
Erika Konno used the "plain
equals bad" mood...
[09:02] Tomozaki
...to label Hirabayashi as lower-ranked
SIGN Boys: Takei / Girls: Hirabayashi
[09:06] Tomozaki
and push a hassle of a job onto her.
[09:09] Aoi
That's right. Manipulating
this kind of group mood...
[09:14] Aoi
...is a must-have skill for being
SIGN Ultimate Goal To be as satisfied with offline life as I am
[09:16] Aoi
satisfied with offline life.
[09:17] Aoi
So your next small goal
SIGN Small Goal: Get Erika Konno motivated for the sports tournament
[09:20] Aoi
is to get Erika Konno motivated
[09:22] Aoi
for the sports tournament.
[09:24] Tomozaki
What?!
[09:25] Tomozaki
Now hang on a second!
There's no way that's even possible!
[09:29] Aoi
Which is why it's going to
take some trial and error.
[09:32] Aoi
It'll be a good way to practice the
interpersonal skills you've learned.
[09:38] Aoi
It might actually be the game-iest
assignment you've had so far.
[09:42] Tomozaki
"Game-iest"?
[09:44] Tomozaki
Oh!
[09:45] Tomozaki
I get it:
SIGN Assignment Quest Konno Erika / ~ In Search of Motivation Lost ~
[09:47] Tomozaki
This task--
[09:49] Tomozaki
this is an RPG, isn't it?
[09:52] Aoi
That's our nanashi!
SIGN Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki S2
[09:58] Tomozaki
The first order of business in an RPG
SIGN Assignment Quest Konno Erika / ~ In Search of Motivation Lost ~
[10:01] Tomozaki
is doing some reconnaissance in town.
[10:04] Tomozaki
In other words,
if Erika Konno is the dungeon boss,
SIGN Erika Konno / Fumiya Tomozaki
SIGN Erika Konno appeared!!!
SIGN But Fumiya Tomozaki
[10:09] Tomozaki
I should ask around to learn her
weak points and how to defeat her.
SIGN is still no match for her!!!
SIGN Fumiya Tomozaki: Got a sec, Izumi?
SIGN Yuzu Izumi: Huh? What is it?
[10:14] Tomozaki
Ooh! This is really starting
to feel like a game now!
[10:19] Yuzu
Mmm, Erika really is
completely unmotivated.
[10:23] Tomozaki
She sure is.
[10:24] Yuzu
Hirabayashi doesn't have it easy, either.
[10:27] Yuzu
I'm not sure she's the captain type...
[10:29] Tomozaki
What do you think it would
take to motivate Konno?
[10:32] Yuzu
That's a tough one.
[10:35] Yuzu
Wait, why do you ask?
[10:37] Tomozaki
Oh, it's just--
[10:39] Tomozaki
I just thought I'd help Hirabayashi
in whatever little way I can.
[10:43] Tomozaki
I mean, I'd like to enjoy the tournament...
[10:47] Yuzu
I totally get it!
[10:48] Yuzu
I'm the type that wants to enjoy the
heck out of the sports tournament
[10:51] Yuzu
and the culture festival and everything!
[10:54] Yuzu
So I was wondering if there
was anything we could do
[10:56] Yuzu
about Erika's lack of excitement.
[10:58] Yuzu
I get along especially well with Erika,
[11:01] Yuzu
but Shuji... well, he's not big
on talking this stuff out.
[11:06] Tomozaki
Oh... is that so...
[11:11] Yuzu
How to get Erika motivated... hmm...
[11:14] Yuzu
She's a real stickler about
clothes and fashion--
[11:17] Yuzu
she'd probably step it up if I promised
her pricey cosmetics when we win.
[11:20] Tomozaki
Yeah, I-I don't know...
[11:23] Yuzu
Oh! Softball might do the trick, actually!
[11:26] Yuzu
She was on the boys' baseball
team in elementary school.
[11:31] Tomozaki
Konno, playing boys' baseball?
[11:33] Tomozaki
You don't say...
[11:48] Gumi
Ah, Tomozaki. Nice work today.
[11:52] Tomozaki
You on break, too, Narita?
[11:55] Gumi
You can call me "Gumi."
[11:57] Gumi
Oof.
[11:59] Tomozaki
This is Tsugumi Narita.
[12:00] Tomozaki
She's a year younger than me,
but my senior here at work.
[12:04] Gumi
Actually, my shift just ended,
[12:07] Gumi
but I'm kinda exhausted, so I thought
I'd rest a while before I left.
[12:12] Tomozaki
You sure get exhausted a lot.
[12:15] Gumi
That's right--and I hate it.
[12:17] Gumi
Which is why I think I'm gonna try
to move as little as possible.
[12:22] Tomozaki
No, you need to do your job.
[12:24] Gumi
Aw! Don't you want to make money
in the breeziest way possible?
[12:29] Gumi
I want a zero-effort, no-walking,
never-tiring, always-resting life.
[12:34] Gumi
That is my policy.
[12:38] Gumi
Straight from the planet Apathy,
it's Gumi! Thanks in advance.
[12:44] Tomozaki
Wait, so in that case...
[12:46] Tomozaki
Do you drag your feet when it come
to sports tournaments, too?
[12:49] Gumi
You betcha.
[12:51] Tomozaki
Aha...
[12:54] Tomozaki
In some ways, her attributes
are similar to Erika Konno's.
[12:59] Tomozaki
Hey, can I get some advice?
[13:03] Gumi
Oh, wow, what a pain.
[13:06] Gumi
Erika definitely has it out
for that Hirabayashi girl.
[13:10] Tomozaki
I kind of thought as much.
[13:12] Gumi
I mean, as soon as Hirabayashi
takes on the captain role,
[13:16] Gumi
I doubt Erika is gonna wanna
do much of anything.
[13:19] Gumi
Unless something crazy happens.
[13:21] Tomozaki
Something crazy? Like what?
[13:23] Gumi
With me, it all comes down
to bang for your buck.
[13:27] Gumi
Low effort, high reward.
[13:29] Tomozaki
Oh, I get it.
[13:31] Tomozaki
So if Erika Konno feels the same way...
[13:33] Gumi
Right, yeah.
[13:35] Gumi
She'll be plenty motivated if she can get
what she wants in a cost-effective way.
[13:39] Gumi
That's just how we roll
on the planet Apathy.
[13:43] Tomozaki
Low effort, high reward...
[13:51] Tomozaki
The next person I thought I'd speak with
SIGN Read: I'd like your advice. Can you meet today? Fuka Kikuchi: Sure. Where should we meet? Read: How about The Baron? Fuka Kikuchi: Got it
[13:54] Tomozaki
was Kikuchi.
[13:56] Tomozaki
She may not stand out in class,
SIGN The Baron / Open 24 Hours
[13:59] Tomozaki
but she's writing her very own novel,
[14:01] Tomozaki
and I think she's a great observer of people.
SIGN Fuka Kikuchi: Sorry to keep you waiting, Tomozaki
[14:05] Tomozaki
I-I'm sorry for contacting
you out of the blue.
[14:08] Fuka
No, it's fine. You caught me as
I was getting off work, too.
[14:12] Fuka
I'm just happy for the invitation.
[14:21] Fuka
Konno?
[14:23] Tomozaki
Uh-huh.
[14:23] Tomozaki
What kind of person is she,
from your point of view?
[14:27] Fuka
What kind of person...? That's a tough one.
[14:30] Tomozaki
I mean, like...
[14:32] Tomozaki
We're having all these discussions
about the sports tournament,
[14:35] Tomozaki
and Konno is totally unmotivated, right?
[14:38] Tomozaki
Under what circumstances do you
think she gives it her all?
[14:42] Fuka
What would motivate Konno...
[14:47] Fuka
This may not be a very nice
way of putting it, but...
[14:53] Fuka
I think she really doesn't want people to
look down on her. That motivates her.
[14:58] Tomozaki
People looking down on her, huh...?
[15:01] Fuka
R-right.
[15:05] Tomozaki
But why be like this for
the sports tournament?
[15:09] Fuka
Well... if she acts like the
tournament is already stupid,
[15:15] Fuka
then win or lose, no one
will look down on her.
[15:18] Fuka
That's what I think, anyway.
[15:20] Tomozaki
I can see that...
[15:25] Fuka
Oh, but...
[15:26] Fuka
Konno does have her friendly
side, and she's so honest--
[15:32] Fuka
I don't think she's bad, per se...
[15:34] Tomozaki
Uh-huh.
[15:37] Tomozaki
Now for all the intel I've
managed to collect:
[15:40] Tomozaki
In order to light a fire
under Erika Konno, first...
[15:45] Tomozaki
we make sure the girls' event is softball.
[15:47] Tomozaki
Next...
[15:49] Tomozaki
we find a low-effort, high-return way
[15:53] Tomozaki
to stimulate her desire not
to be looked down upon.
[15:57] Tomozaki
And what I need now
[16:00] Tomozaki
is to find that key item that'll
hit her right where it counts.
[16:04] Takei
Okay:
SIGN Boys 1. Basketball / 2. Soccer / 3. Baseball Chosen Sports Tournament Events
[16:06] Takei
The boys' first choice is basketball!
[16:09] Takei
I would have preferred soccer,
but whaddya gonna do?
[16:12] Nakamura
Takei!
[16:14] Nakamura
Can you even be a basketball captain?
SIGN Boys 1. Basketball / 2. Soccer / 3. Baseball
[16:16] Takei
No sweat! I've been reading the manga!
[16:19] Nakamura
"No sweat"--yeah, right!
[16:23] Ms. Kawamura
All right--now for the girls.
SIGN Chosen Sports Tournament Events Girls / Basketball / Volleyball / Softball
[16:26] Hirabayashi
Uh, um...
[16:28] Hirabayashi
Then, uh, l-let's see what the girls want.
[16:34] Mimimi
Ooh! Ooh! It's basketball for me!
[16:37] Mimimi
With me and Aoi on the team, we can't lose!
[16:40] Mimimi
Right?
[16:42] Hirabayashi
Basketball... okay.
[16:44] Hirabayashi
Anyone else have any preferences?
[16:46] Tomozaki
This is bad. They'll never
get to softball like this.
[16:52] Hanabi
I do!
[16:54] Hanabi
I want to play volleyball.
[16:57] Hirabayashi
One for volleyball.
[16:59] Hirabayashi
Which should be our first choice?
[17:02] Yuzu
Oh, I think I'd prefer
softball... or something.
[17:07] Hirabayashi
Softball.
[17:09] Hirabayashi
Do you all have reasons for your choices?
[17:12] Hanabi
I do! Because that's what I wanna play.
[17:19] Mimimi
Tama!
[17:21] Mimimi
That's too simple to be a reason!
[17:26] Hirabayashi
Th-then we'll move on to--
[17:28] Erika
But, like...
[17:30] Erika
Why don't we just vote?
[17:33] Hirabayashi
Oh, yeah... right.
[17:39] Ms. Kawamura
Let's not go there, Konno.
[17:41] Ms. Kawamura
I get it--I'm usually the first
to want to put things to a vote.
[17:46] Ms. Kawamura
But I'd like to see if you can
talk things out instead.
[17:50] Ms. Kawamura
I'll take over from here.
[17:53] Ms. Kawamura
Each of you has to convince the class
with the reasons behind your choices.
SIGN Sekitomo
[17:59] Ms. Kawamura
Okay, after all that discussion,
the girls have decided
SIGN Basketball: 2 / Volleyball: 3 / Softball: 1
SIGN Softball: 1
[18:03] Ms. Kawamura
their first choice is softball.
[18:05] Ms. Kawamura
The results will be posted over

[18:19] Aoi
How to get Erika motivated, huh?
[18:23] Aoi
I think it'll be pretty tough
the way things are now.
[18:26] Yuzu
How are things now, exactly?
[18:30] Aoi
I mean, as long as Hirabayashi's
the captain...
[18:34] Yuzu
Oh, right. I figured as much...
[18:41] Yuzu
I've made up my mind.
[18:44] Yuzu
I'll take over the captain
position from Hirabayashi!
[18:48] Yuzu
She looks like she's having a rough time.
[18:51] Tomozaki
Are you sure about this, though?
[18:54] Yuzu
I was struggling with whether
I should help her.
[18:59] Yuzu
If I'd taken the captain job,
it'd basically be like Erika told me to.
[19:04] Yuzu
I'd be going along just to get along,
and I don't like that side of me.
[19:08] Yuzu
But that doesn't matter! I'm helping
Hirabayashi because I want to.
[19:14] Yuzu
That's good enough, right?
I want to do it, after all!
[19:18] Yuzu
And I think it might motivate
Erika a little bit, too.
[19:23] Aoi
But, Yuzu...
[19:25] Aoi
Are you really okay with this?
[19:27] Yuzu
Yeah! And I'll work hard, too!
[19:29] Tomozaki
Huh...
[19:31] Tomozaki
She's neither bowing to the mood
or being pushed into the job.
[19:36] Tomozaki
She's calling the shots.
[19:38] Tomozaki
And that "I'm over it" smile...
She's a top-tier character, all right.
[19:43] Tomozaki
A strategy began to come
together in my head.
[19:47] Tomozaki
A plan that just might get
Konno ready and raring to go.
[19:53] Tomozaki
The first item I'd need...
[19:57] Mimimi
What'd you want to talk about, Brain?
[20:00] Mimimi
Don't tell me--is it romance advice?!
[20:03] Tomozaki
Nothing like that!
[20:04] Tomozaki
It's actually about Konno.
[20:07] Mimimi
Erika?
[20:09] Tomozaki
Would you say Konno sees
Hinami as her rival?
[20:15] Mimimi
I think so, yeah.
But where'd this come from?
[20:18] Tomozaki
Oh, I have this idea, that's all.
[20:30] Tomozaki
The next must-have item...
[20:33] Tomozaki
Uh, hey...
[20:34] Mizusawa
Hmm? What's up?
[20:36] Tomozaki
You said Konno likes Nakamura.
[20:39] Tomozaki
And that's a sure thing, right?
[20:41] Mizusawa
Yeah. They're keeping it
on the down-low, though.
[20:45] Mizusawa
Why do you ask?
[20:50] Tomozaki
My strategy had come together.

[20:55] Tomozaki
Hey...
[20:56] Tomozaki
I'd like to confirm something
about my assignment.
SIGN Small Goal: Get Erika Konno motivated for the sports tournament
[20:59] Aoi
Confirm something?
[21:00] Tomozaki
I don't have to do this
all by myself, right?
[21:04] Tomozaki
You won't mind if I get
other people to help out?
[21:07] Aoi
Good question. Given that you're
up against Erika Konno,
[21:10] Aoi
your skill alone may not be
enough to get the job done.
[21:14] Tomozaki
In that case...
[21:17] Tomozaki
could I even get your help, too?
[21:21] Aoi
My help...?
[21:23] Tomozaki
I'm not going to ask you what I should do.
[21:27] Tomozaki
But can I include you in my strategy,
[21:30] Tomozaki
tell you what I need you to
do, and have you do it?
[21:34] Tomozaki
In other words, I'm still the
one with the controller--
[21:38] Tomozaki
but I'd be using you as
my selected character.
[21:41] Aoi
Ah, I see. That would be fine.
[21:45] Tomozaki
Yes!
[21:46] Aoi
However...
[21:47] Aoi
I won't interfere, not even if I think
your strategy's bound to fail.
[21:52] Aoi
What's more...
[21:54] Aoi
If there's any chance I'll
take damage, forget it.
[21:58] Tomozaki
That's fine by me.
[22:01] Tomozaki
All right! Now, about my strategy...
[22:04] Tomozaki
Here it is.
[22:05] Aoi
What's that?
[22:08] Tomozaki

enough to motivate Erika, though?
[01:45] Tomozaki
Oh, don't worry.
[01:47] Tomozaki
I've got other tricks up my sleeve.
[01:51] Mizusawa
Aha...
[01:53] Mizusawa
So that's what you had in mind?
[01:55] Mizusawa
I thought something was afoot.
[01:57] Mizusawa
Y'know, sometimes I'm surprised by
[02:00] Mizusawa
how nasty you can be, Fumiya.
[02:02] Tomozaki
Oh, shut up...
[02:03] Mizusawa
But fine, I get it.
[02:05] Mizusawa
I just need to let Erika
know all casual-like, right?
[02:07] Tomozaki
Right. Thanks.
[02:13] Tomozaki
That's everything that needed to be done.
[02:17] Tomozaki
All that's left is
for the three arrows I've let fly

That's our Erika!

"I don't want Aoi Hinami
to look down on me."
[04:37] Tomozaki
"I want Nakamura to find me attractive."
[04:40] Tomozaki
These three wants can
all be satisfied by simply
[04:43] Tomozaki
"doing my best in the sports tournament."
[04:45] Tomozaki
In other words...
[04:49] Tomozaki
Erika Konno reaped great
rewards for little effort.
[04:55] Tomozaki
Meanwhile,
[04:56] Tomozaki
in the boys' basketball event,
[04:58] Tomozaki
Nakamura and Mizusawa, along with
[05:00] Tomozaki
Tachibana of the basketball club,
moved onward to victory.
[05:05] Tomozaki
In fact, Hinami had given me a task
for the basketball game as well.
SIGN Lay-Up Shots

[05:11] Aoi
Lay-up practice.
[05:13] Aoi

[05:26] Tomozaki
I see...
[05:28] Tomozaki
And so I spent the days
before the tournament practicing my lay-ups.
[05:41] Tomozaki
Hinami was kind enough to tag along...
[05:46] Tomozaki
but now I'm watching the game
from the bench.
[05:49] Tomozaki
I ended up racking up
a flurry of fouls first thing.

[06:39] Tomozaki

[06:44] Tomozaki
It's like the entire class
had come together as one.
[06:48] Tomozaki
What a wonderful happy ending this was.
[06:54] Tomozaki
But soon enough I would come to learn
[07:01] Tomozaki
that this game of life
isn't quite so simple.
[07:09] Tomozaki
It started the day
after the sports tournament.
[07:17] Konno
Oops.
[07:18] Konno
Sor-ry.
[07:20] Hirabayashi
It's fine.
[07:22] Tomozaki
These little "accidents" kept on happening.
[07:27] Tomozaki
A paper airplane would "accidentally"
hit Hirabayashi during a break,
[07:37] Tomozaki
or Konno would "accidentally"
bump into her desk.
[07:43] Tomozaki
Then, some days later,
[07:46] Tomozaki
I realized, along with most of my classmates,
[07:50] Tomozaki
that there was clear
malicious intent behind it.
[07:57] Yuzu
I caused all this.
[08:00] Tomozaki
Because it got out
that you were dating Nakamura?
[08:04] Yuzu
Probably.
[08:05] Yuzu
Lashing out at me
or Shuji would be too obvious.
[08:10] Yuzu
Instead, she went after Hirabayashi.
[08:14] Yuzu
I probably shouldn't say anything to Erika.
[08:18] Tomozaki
Yeah, maybe so.
[08:23] Aoi
I agree.
[08:25] Aoi
Yuzu shouldn't say a word to Konno.
[08:28] Tomozaki
You think so?
[08:30] Aoi
This harassment is small potatoes.
[08:32] Aoi
She can play it all off as purely
accidental, and that'll be that.
[08:36] Aoi
If we don't want the situation to get worse,
[08:38] Aoi
the smartest course of action right
now would be to watch silently.
[08:41] Tomozaki
Hey...
[08:43] Tomozaki
Is life really a god-tier game?
[08:46] Aoi
What do you mean?
[08:48] Tomozaki
I mean, we've got an irrational
negative event with no reason behind it.
[08:54] Aoi
There are reasons, all right.
[08:56] Aoi
Erika Konno liked Nakamura.
[09:00] Aoi
Thanks to our help,
Yuzu started going out with Nakamura.
[09:05] Aoi
Erika Konno kicked in, and our class won.
[09:10] Aoi
Yuzu's relationship
with Nakamura became public.
[09:13] Aoi
Hirabayashi is a timid girl.
[09:17] Aoi
All of those events just fell like dominoes.
[09:21] Aoi
What's happening now isn't irrational--
it was practically inevitable.
[09:25] Tomozaki
What do you mean, inevitable?
[09:27] Tomozaki
Are you saying Hirabayashi
has to just take her lumps?
[09:31] Aoi
Well, yeah.
[09:33] Tomozaki
Hinami...
[09:35] Aoi
What's more, I don't personally see
the need to help her at this juncture.
[09:40] Aoi
I mean, this is the kind of
harassment one can solve on one's own.
[09:46] Aoi
Just because Hirabayashi
doesn't intend to do so--
[09:49] Tomozaki
C'mon, that's going too far!
[09:52] Aoi
Look, we haven't seen anything that suggests
[09:55] Aoi
Hirabayashi means to solve
this problem on her own.
[09:58] Aoi
Doesn't that make Hirabayashi herself
another reason for Konno's behavior?
[10:03] Tomozaki
So now Hirabayashi is responsible for it?
[10:06] Aoi
Erika Konno's methods are cowardly
and awful, absolutely.
[10:09] Aoi
Konno is in the wrong.
[10:10] ---
No two ways about that.
[10:13] Aoi
But it's the gamer who's
gripping the controller,
[10:17] Aoi
clearing a path through
the situation at hand.
[10:19] Aoi
The same goes for life. Isn't that right?
[10:21] Tomozaki
For you and me, maybe!
[10:23] Tomozaki
But to require everyone to be a gamer...
[10:26] Aoi
If someone tries to
change something themselves
[10:28] Aoi
and winds up not being able to
solve the problem at hand,
[10:31] Aoi
I will help--enthusiastically so.
[10:34] Aoi
But if they don't even try
to fix things on their own...
[10:39] Aoi
I'm not required to help.
[10:41] Tomozaki
That's not my thinking.
[10:43] Aoi
I think it's the gamer who's in the right.
[10:46] Aoi
And right now,
Hirabayashi isn't trying to be a gamer.
[10:50] Aoi
I mean, I do intend to do something
[10:53] Aoi
if things get any worse.
[10:56] Tomozaki
I see...
[10:58] Aoi
Hey, you're not considering doing
something about this, are you?
[11:04] Tomozaki
If there's something I can do, I'll do it.
[11:07] Aoi
Aha.

Well, proceed carefully,
so things don't get worse.

[12:22] Konno
You started it.
[12:28] Boy Student
Uh-oh...
[12:42] Konno
Oops. Sor-ry.
[12:48] Tomozaki
There it was, out in the open,
almost too clear-cut:
[12:52] Tomozaki
Erika Konno's maliciousness,
[12:54] Tomozaki
now targeted at Tama.
[12:59] Hanabi
Konno! You did that on purpose!
[13:01] Konno
Huh? Lay off the assumptions, would you?
[13:04] Hanabi
What assumptions?!
[13:06] Konno
Besides, I apologized, didn't I?
[13:08] Hanabi
You know that's not the issue here!
[13:10] Konno
What, you gonna hit me again?
[13:14] Konno
I'm against violence.
[13:17] Hanabi
Well, I'm not using violence!
[13:25] Mimimi
You're in the right here, Tama.
[13:28] Tomozaki
You okay, Tama?
[13:30] Hanabi
I'm fine.
[13:31] Aoi
Hanabi...
[13:33] Aoi
It's okay.
[13:35] Aoi
I'll... I'll do something.
[13:38] Hanabi
Aoi?
[13:41] Tomozaki
Konno's attacks continued.
[13:45] Tomozaki
She would "accidentally" bump
into Tama's desk,
[13:48] Tomozaki
or one of her cronies would
"accidentally" knock Tama's chair over;
[13:53] Tomozaki
all of Tama's pencil leads would
"accidentally" wind up broken,
[13:58] Tomozaki
or the Konno girls would "accidentally"
trash-talk her loud enough in conversation
[14:03] Tomozaki
that Tama could hear it loud and clear.
[14:06] Tomozaki
But unlike when it happened
to Hirabayashi...
[14:09] Hanabi
Konno! I know you kicked my desk again!
[14:12] Tomozaki
...every time Konno hurt Tama,
Tama called her out.
[14:16] Konno
Geez, will you stop
with the false accusations already?
[14:19] Hanabi
You did it yesterday, too!
[14:21] Konno
Did you forget that time
you used violence against me?
[14:26] Hanabi
That was an accident!
[14:28] Konno
Huh? No, what I did was an accident.
[14:31] Konno
What you did?
[14:34] Konno
All. On. Purpose.
[14:38] Mimimi
Stop, Tama! Whoa, girl!
[14:41] Aoi
Okay, Hanabi--time to cool off.
[14:45] Tomozaki
Hinami and Mimimi would calm her down
so she wouldn't get even more furious.
[14:50] Tomozaki
This pattern repeated itself
over several days.
[14:54] Seno
Hanabi really has it rough...
[14:56] Kashiwazaki
She sure does.
[14:58] Kashiwazaki
First Hirabayashi, now Hanabi--
[15:00] Kashiwazaki
it's like she doesn't care who she torments.
[15:03] Seno
Right?
[15:04] Matsumoto
That Natsubayashi
is really something else...
[15:06] Hashiguchi
I never expected her to keep pushing
back on Konno like that, did you?
[15:10] Hashiguchi
She's way gutsier
than she looks, that's for sure.
[15:13] Akina
Still...
[15:14] Akina
Konno may be terrible,
but Natsubayashi gets way too angry.
[15:19] Akina
Not that Natsubayashi is in the wrong here!
[15:22] Mutsumi
Hmm... I wish they'd
handle it a little better.
[15:25] Mutsumi
No one wants to see that every dang day.
[15:29] Sho
How many times is it, anyway?
[15:31] Kazuya
Why even is Natsubayashi
still getting so mad?
[15:35] Sho
I get that Konno is terrible,
but doesn't she understand
[15:37] Sho
that all this classroom bickering
just sours the whole mood?
[15:41] Kazuya
Well, Natsubayashi never did know
how to read a room.
[15:46] Tomozaki
Eventually, the class's
mood went all off-kilter.
[15:50] Tomozaki
Hinami was the one who put a stop to it.
[15:53] Tomozaki
She stirred up sympathy for Tama,
aimed at the middle-ranking girls.
[15:58] Tomozaki
Mimimi tried to be
with Tama as much as possible
[16:01] Tomozaki
whenever we were on break.
[16:04] Tomozaki
She'd hustle Tama out of the classroom,
avoiding contact with Konno.
[16:08] Tomozaki
The efforts of these two
[16:10] Tomozaki
kept something truly momentous
from taking place.
SIGN Sewing Room 2
[16:17] Tomozaki
This Tama thing--
[16:18] Tomozaki
it really went sour, eh?
[16:20] Aoi
Yeah...
[16:22] Tomozaki
You and Mimimi have her back for now,
[16:25] Tomozaki
but at this rate, she'll only
become more and more isolated.
[16:28] Aoi
Right. It can't go on like this.
[16:31] Aoi
We have to do something.

Lately it felt like Hinami hadn't been
going about things in her usual way.
[16:38] Tomozaki
It's not that her methods were wrong*;
[16:40] Tomozaki
she just wasn't the same old Hinami.
[16:44] Tomozaki
Hey, Hinami...
[16:46] Aoi
What?
[16:47] Tomozaki
I think helping Tama is
the most important thing right now.
[16:52] Tomozaki
More than anything else.
[16:54] Aoi
And?
[16:56] Tomozaki
And we could maybe ask her, you know,
[17:00] Tomozaki
to stop striking back at Konno, or...
[17:03] Aoi
Absolutely not.
[17:06] Aoi
Hanabi is right.
[17:08] Aoi
The situation is what's wrong.
[17:10] Aoi
Hanabi does not need to change.
SIGN Good Suggestion / Bad Rule
[17:15] Tomozaki
This was the exact opposite of what*
Hinami had been insisting thus far.
[17:20] Tomozaki
If the situation is wrong,
we should fight in a way that fits it--
[17:25] Tomozaki
even if it means outwardly
distorting ourselves.
[17:30] Tomozaki
That's her policy, the way she
racked up all those wins--or it was*.
[17:38] Tomozaki
After class, Mimimi asked me to join*
her and Tama on the way home.
[17:44] Tomozaki
Hinami stayed late for student council work.
[17:47] Mimimi
Oh! You've got some
whipped cream on you, Tama!
[17:49] Hanabi
Huh? Really?
[17:53] Mimimi
Don't mind if I do!
[17:54] Hanabi
Hey! Why'd you eat it?
[17:56] Mimimi
Mmm, delicious!
[17:58] Tomozaki
She doesn't like that, Mimimi.
[18:00] Mimimi
What? Sure you do, right?
[18:03] Hanabi
Of course I don't! Isn't it obvious?
[18:05] Mimimi
Ack! What a shock!
[18:16] Mimimi
How did things get to this point?
[18:20] Tomozaki
Bad luck, bad timing...
[18:23] Mimimi
Tama hasn't even done anything wrong.
[18:26] Mimimi
Everyone's making her out
to be the bad guy...
[18:29] Mimimi
I hate watching that happen!
[18:35] Mimimi
Hey, Tomozaki.
[18:38] Mimimi
Am I doing a good job?
[18:41] Mimimi
You know: cheering her up?
[18:43] Tomozaki
Yeah.
[18:45] Tomozaki
I think you are.
SIGN Tomozaki
[18:51] Tomozaki
At this point, Mimimi's goal must be
[18:57] Tomozaki
for Erika Konno to give
in to Tama's resistance.
SIGN Hanabi Natsubayashi resists!
SIGN Erika Konno take 0 damage
SIGN Erika Konno: I'm against violence!
SIGN Hanabi Natsubayashi takes 170 damage!!
SIGN Minami Nanami: Tama~~!!
SIGN Minami Nanami: Mimimi's here ♪
[19:03] Tomozaki
If Konno's harassment stops
SIGN Minami Nanami: You okay, Tama?!
SIGN Minami Nanami: All patched up ♪
[19:06] Tomozaki
while Mimimi is looking after Tama,
SIGN Erika Konno: (...Not funny)
SIGN Erika Konno: (Forget this...)
SIGN Erika Konno left...
[19:11] Tomozaki
we'd get the good ending.
[19:15] Tomozaki
Hinami was controlling the mood
of the class as a whole,
SIGN Erika Konno manipulates the mood
SIGN The good/bad norm!
SIGN Hanabi Natsubayashi takes 170 damage!!
SIGN Aoi Hinami: Hanabi...
SIGN Aoi Hinami: I'll figure it out...
[19:18] Tomozaki
buying more time.
SIGN Aoi Hinami manipulates the mood
[19:20] Tomozaki
If all goes well,
SIGN The good/bad norm reverses!
SIGN Classmate x6 take 300 damage!!
[19:23] Tomozaki
the mood--the norm for good
or bad-- will be flipped on its head,
SIGN Erika Konno takes 100 damage!!
SIGN Classmate x6 joined the party!!
[19:27] Tomozaki
and she'll start painting
Konno as one of the bad ones.
SIGN Erika Konno: (...Not funny)
SIGN Erika Konno: (Forget this...)
SIGN Erika Konno left...
[19:32] Tomozaki
But I have a different strategy in mind.
SIGN Fumiya Tomozaki / Hanabi Natsubayashi / Erika Konno
SIGN Erika Konno glares steadily
[19:35] Tomozaki
What we need to aim for now
[19:37] Tomozaki
is getting past all this
without hurting Tama.
[19:41] Tomozaki
And for that, we can use a tactic
that every gamer knows:
SIGN Fumiya Tomozaki: (Thinking...)
[19:45] Tomozaki
Retreat.
SIGN Fumiya Tomozaki: Tama! We're running!
SIGN Tama: !!
[19:48] Tomozaki
The option to take time off school
until everything blows over.
SIGN Successfully escaped
[19:52] Tomozaki
Sure, it's a little backward.
[19:54] Tomozaki
But it WILL get us to the goal,
as "wrong" or dirty as it may be.
[19:59] Tomozaki
NO NAME can't do that, but I can.
[20:02] Tomozaki
That's the nanashi way.
SIGN Old AV Room
[20:10] Hanabi
What did you want?
[20:12] Tomozaki
Well, um...
[20:14] Tomozaki
This thing with Erika Konno and everybody...
[20:19] Hanabi
You know, Aoi once told me...
[20:22] Hanabi
She said you're a little bit like me.
[20:25] Hanabi
You just come out
and say what you're thinking.
[20:28] Tomozaki
Yeah... maybe I do.
[20:30] Hanabi
So what's this about Konno and everybody?
[20:33] Tomozaki
Right.
[20:34] Tomozaki
It must be hard with Konno attacking you
and everyone else avoiding you.
[20:41] Tomozaki
And if it is, I wonder
if it might be better to remove yourself.
[20:48] Hanabi
It is hard.
[20:51] Hanabi
But you know...
[20:53] Hanabi
I'm fine.
[20:56] Hanabi
When I remind myself
that I'm in the right, I'm fine.
[21:01] Hanabi
Breaking the Hanabi
that believes in things would be worse.
[21:07] Tomozaki
Okay. Then you'll be all right.
[21:10] Tomozaki
I've been playing games
on my own all this time.
[21:14] Tomozaki
And all this time, I've been thinking:
[21:16] Tomozaki
The righteousness inside me is more important
than how people see me.
[21:21] Hanabi
Uh-huh. As long as I can be myself,
[21:25] Hanabi
I can put up with anything.
[21:28] Hanabi
But you know, Tomozaki...
[21:30] Hanabi
Minmi's so sad.
[21:34] Hanabi
And that's why I want to change.
[21:38] Hanabi
I guess I really am like you.
[21:41] Hanabi
I just say what I think,
and I suck at bending myself to fit.
[21:46] Hanabi
Actually, I think you've
changed a lot lately.
[21:48] Hanabi
You're better at reading a room,
better at fitting in.
[21:52] Hanabi
You're like me, but you're challenging
yourself with your weaknesses.
[21:56] Hanabi
I didn't think that was possible.
[22:01] Hanabi
So show me how you do it.
[22:06] Hanabi
Teach me how to fight, too.

[00:02] Hanabi
Hey...
[00:03] Hanabi
How did you change yourself, Tomozaki?
[00:05] Tomozaki
Me?
[00:06] Hanabi
I'm not good at, like,
getting along with people.
[00:11] Tomozaki
Well, in my case...
[00:15] Tomozaki
Oh, right.
[00:16] Tomozaki
Hang on a sec.
[00:18] Hanabi
Something wrong?
[00:19] Tomozaki
Nothing.
[00:21] Tomozaki
Um, in my case, I practiced my expressions,
posture, and the way I talked.
[00:28] Tomozaki
In the past, I didn't emote much,
[00:31] Tomozaki
I slouched all the time,
[00:32] Tomozaki
and I always mumbled.
[00:35] Tomozaki
The epitome of socially awkward.
[00:37] Hanabi
But you sound so cheerful now,
and your whole vibe has changed.
[00:43] Tomozaki
Oh... you think so?
[00:46] Hanabi
Still got a weird way of
getting embarrassed, though!
[00:48] Tomozaki
I haven't worked on that yet...
[00:51] Tomozaki
But I think the very first thing you should
do is figure out exactly where you are.
[00:57] Hanabi
Where I am?
[00:59] Hanabi
What do you mean?
[01:01] Tomozaki
Well, you see...
[01:03] Hanabi
You still laugh weird, too!
It's creepy!
[01:06] Tomozaki
I have to agree...
[01:08] Tomozaki
Okay, that should be enough.

Still got a weird way of
getting embarrassed, though!

[01:15] Hanabi
Hey! I've been bugged!
[01:16] Tomozaki
Wait—just listen. Tama, c'mon—
[01:17] Recorded Tomozaki
is figure out exactly where you are.
[01:20] Recorded Hanabi
Where I am?
What do you mean?
[01:24] Recorded Tomozaki
Well, you see...
[01:25] Recorded Hanabi
You still laugh weird, too!
It's creepy!
[01:28] Tomozaki
How was that?
[01:30] Hanabi
I'm pretty harsh, huh?
[01:32] Tomozaki
Right!
[01:33] Tomozaki
The way a person talks might not
be exactly how they picture it.
[01:38] Tomozaki
Once you know how you talk, maybe you'll
figure out how you can change it.
[01:43] Hanabi
Maybe so...
[01:45] Hanabi
Okay! I'll give it my best shot!

You catch on quick. That's our Tama!

[03:38] Tomozaki
Think you can practice on your own?
[03:40] Hanabi
Woo!
[03:42] Tomozaki
You're really good. Better than me, even.
[03:46] Hanabi
Eh?!
[03:47] Tomozaki
You're fully proficient.
[03:49] Hanabi
Hey! You haven't taught me anything yet!
[03:51] Tomozaki
Yeah, but... your basic
ability is way beyond mine.
[03:55] Tomozaki
I don't think your expressions
or the way you talk
[03:58] Tomozaki
are what's keeping you from
getting along in class.
[04:01] Hanabi
Then what could it be?
[04:04] Tomozaki
Hmm...
[04:05] Tomozaki
Maybe try not arguing
with Konno for a while?
[04:13] Hanabi
Got it.

Sorry I kept you!

[04:23] Tomozaki
Um, well... this and that...

You're dead set against changing Tama, right?
[04:48] Aoi
I told you, didn't I? There's nothing
wrong with Tama.
[04:51] Aoi
So she shouldn't change.
[04:54] Tomozaki
Even if she wants to?
[04:58] Tomozaki
That's what she told me:
[05:00] Tomozaki
the situation is making Mimimi sad,
so she wants to change herself.
[05:04] Tomozaki
That's what she wants to
do—loud and clear.
[05:08] Aoi
I see.
[05:09] Tomozaki
I'd like you to help her, if
it's possible.
[05:14] Aoi
If Hanabi changes, none of this matters.
[05:19] Tomozaki
Hinami...
[05:22] Tomozaki
On that day,
[05:23] Tomozaki
the mood in the classroom shifted a little.
[05:29] Tomozaki
This had always been where Konno and
Tama would start up their squabbling,
[05:34] Tomozaki
and the class's mood would take a nosedive.
[05:44] Tomozaki
Yes!
SIGN Old AV Room
[05:50] Tomozaki
Great job, Tama! You really
restrained yourself.
[05:53] Hanabi
Uh-huh. It's frustrating,
[05:55] Hanabi
but I know there are more
important things.
[05:58] Tomozaki
At this rate, though, things
might not get worse,
[06:02] Tomozaki
but they won't get dramatically
better, either.
[06:05] Hanabi
Yeah... I guess not.
[06:07] Tomozaki
Now to create an atmosphere that'll make
the rest of the class take your side.
[06:17] Hanabi
I just don't know what they're all thinking.
[06:21] Hanabi
I kinda know what Konno is thinking, but...
[06:25] Hanabi
The rest of the class? It's a
total mystery.
[06:28] Tomozaki
Right...
[06:30] Tomozaki
"Mood" and "flow" sure are tough.
[06:33] Hanabi
For you, too?
[06:34] Tomozaki
I've started to understand
them a little lately,
[06:38] Tomozaki
but it took me about five
months to get to this point.
[06:41] Hanabi
We probably don't have that kind of time.
[06:45] Tomozaki
Right.
[06:46] Tomozaki
We need some kind of big game-changing move
[06:49] Tomozaki
that'll flip everything on its
head in a short span of time.
[06:53] Tomozaki
But we'll need help.
[06:57] Mizusawa
Well, well, you two! In a
bit of a pinch, are you?
[07:01] Tomozaki
Mizusawa?
[07:04] Mizusawa
I knew it, Fumiya.
[07:08] Mizusawa
You are secretly up to something, after all.
[07:11] Tomozaki
Wh-What do you mean?
[07:13] Mizusawa
I thought you two might be scheming,
so I kept an eye on you.
[07:17] Mizusawa
This is about Erika's harassment, isn't it?
[07:19] Tomozaki
Uh... yes. It is, actually.
[07:22] Mizusawa
Hit the nail on the head!
[07:26] Mizusawa
You been holding up okay?
[07:28] Hanabi
I'm fine.
[07:30] Mizusawa
Oh, am I a third wheel here?
[07:34] Tomozaki
It's not that.
[07:36] Tomozaki
Wait, did you specifically drop
by to see how we were doing?
[07:40] Mizusawa
Eh, you know.
[07:41] Mizusawa
If you're going to stand up to Erika,
[07:43] Mizusawa
shouldn't you have a slightly shady
character like me in the mix?
[07:50] Tomozaki
Say...
[07:51] Tomozaki
You and Nakamura don't really
get along with Tama, do you?
[07:55] Mizusawa
And there it is.
[07:57] Mizusawa
Well, she's like you—so that's good.
[07:59] Mizusawa
See...
[08:00] Mizusawa
Tama won't bend, right?
[08:03] Mizusawa
And Shuji and Erika are both boss types,
so they're like oil and water with her.
[08:08] Mizusawa
They had this huge blow-up fight
and dragged me and Takei into it...
[08:14] Mizusawa
I took Shuji's side, so I can see
why I'd come off badly to her.
[08:21] Mizusawa
So... yeah.
[08:22] Mizusawa
Anyway, if you need any help,
[08:24] Mizusawa
I'll be around.
[08:27] Mizusawa
Later.
[08:30] Tomozaki
Hang on, Mizusawa!
[08:34] Tomozaki
I know what we have to do first!

"Make friends with Mizusawa"!

[08:55] Tomozaki
Yeah.
[08:56] Tomozaki
I think one reason she can't
integrate herself well
[08:59] Tomozaki
has to do with putting up emotional
barriers and becoming unbendable.
[09:03] Tomozaki
This could be the first step
to cracking that shell.
[09:08] Mizusawa
Okay. I'll lend a hand—for you, Fumiya.
[09:12] Mizusawa
The rest is up to Tama.
[09:17] Hanabi
I'll give it a shot!
[09:22] Mizusawa
We've never properly talked
like this, have we?
[09:26] Hanabi
You're right...
[09:27] Mizusawa
Do you hate me like you hate Shuji?
[09:30] Hanabi
I've seen you hanging out with Nakamura and
saying a lot of mean things about me.
[09:36] Mizusawa
Is that so... Mean things, huh.
[09:38] Hanabi
I don't like that, so I've been avoiding you.
[09:41] Mizusawa
Avoiding—
[09:44] Mizusawa
Huh.
[09:46] Mizusawa
Hey, Fumiya, she's got you beat
in the bluntness department.
[09:49] Tomozaki
You ain't seen nothin' yet.
[09:51] Mizusawa
Seriously?
[09:53] Mizusawa
Okay, so... it does sound
like you hate me, then.
[09:56] Hanabi
But, I mean, I can't know
what kind of person you are
[09:59] Hanabi
if I don't try talking to you first.
[10:01] Mizusawa
Hmm. In that case, is there
anything you want to ask me?
[10:06] Hanabi
Not really.
[10:09] Mizusawa
I had a feeling.

Oh—there is one thing I've wondered about.

Aoi is so full of secrets...
I can't help but wonder.
[10:26] Mizusawa
Hmm...

Sure, I like her.

So it's true?!

Ah, so there is someone. Who is it?
[10:55] Hanabi
Hey!

Yo.

Why? What's going on here?!
[11:33] Mimimi
What?
[11:34] Mimimi
I see! They're both protecting you, eh?
[11:37] Mimimi
Aren't you the smooth operator, Tama!
[11:40] Mimimi
A beauty on each arm!
[11:41] Tomozaki
Is it still "a beauty" when it's two guys?
[11:44] Hanabi
I don't think so.
[11:46] Mimimi
It's not?! Then what is it?
[11:49] Mizusawa
A knight on each arm? Something like that.
[11:52] Tomozaki
That might work for you,
[11:54] Tomozaki
but I don't see myself
as a beauty or a knight.
[11:57] Mimimi
Not that again! C'mon,
you can be plenty cool.
[12:03] Mimimi
Have some confidence for once, wouldya?!
[12:05] Tomozaki
S-Sure...
[12:07] Mimimi
It makes me all sad to see you
down on yourself all the time.
[12:11] Hanabi
I was kind of thinking that too.
[12:14] Mizusawa
Yeah, you do tend to do that, Fumiya...
[12:17] Tomozaki

Okay, we're headed home.

[12:41] Tomozaki
Sure.
[12:42] Mizusawa
See you tomorrow.
[12:44] Mizusawa
So anyway...
[12:45] Mizusawa
I'm glad Tama stopped fighting
with Erika. It's the right move.
[12:49] Mizusawa
If she kept that up, she'd practically be giving
the class free reign to come after her.
[12:56] Tomozaki
And all it takes is a shallow excuse
for "attacks" to become "punishment."
[13:00] Tomozaki
You see that a lot online.
[13:03] Mizusawa
So what's the next move?
[13:05] Mizusawa
You're making headway in character creation,
[13:07] Mizusawa
are you thinking of ways to break
down the walls she's put up
[13:12] Mizusawa
between her and the rest of the class?
[13:13] Tomozaki
Mmm, it'd be nice to come up with a
cut-and-dried way to make it all better...
[13:19] Tomozaki
The key is being able to
get in a lot of practice
[13:22] Tomozaki
in a setting where it's okay to fail.
[13:25] Mizusawa
True enough. Gotta have that safety net.
[13:30] Mizusawa
Should I invite Takei next time?

Takei: I'm off to bed!!
Read: OK
[13:39] Mizusawa
I'll let him know.
[13:41] Mizusawa
But you gotta keep things simple with Takei.
[13:44] Mizusawa
I'll just say we want him to cheer Tama up.
[13:48] Mizusawa
And don't tell Shuji.
[13:51] Mizusawa
Tama plus Shuji equals conflict
waiting to happen.
[13:56] Mizusawa
We're better off keeping our
support for Tama under wraps.
[14:00] Tomozaki
Ooh, right.
[14:02] Mizusawa
I could wind up with a target on my
back just for helping out like this.
[14:08] Tomozaki
You're something else, Mizusawa.
[14:11] Mizusawa
What d'you mean?
[14:12] Tomozaki
It's just... you're a good guy.
[14:15] Tomozaki
You can do everything, but you're never mean.
[14:20] Mizusawa
I don't know about that.
[14:22] Mizusawa
You'll find that I'm
actually quite the schemer.
[14:25] Tomozaki
R-Really?
[14:26] Mizusawa
Like how I came to check on you two earlier.
[14:30] Mizusawa
I did it in part because I was
hoping Aoi would be there.
[14:34] Mizusawa
Me, I'm just another guy
doing what he wants.
[14:40] Mizusawa
A certain someone once told
me that was the way to go.
[14:46] Tomozaki
Oh...
[14:50] Aoi
I mean,
[14:51] Aoi
even if what you're doing
goes against my own policy,
[14:55] Aoi
I don't have the right to stop you.
[14:58] Tomozaki
This is about trying to change Tama, right?
[15:02] Aoi
If it's what Hanabi herself
wants, my hands are tied.
[15:07] Aoi
All I can do is see my own methods through.
[15:13] Aoi
We'll suspend these meetings
for the time being.
[15:16] Aoi
They'll resume once the
situation has improved.
[15:26] Tomozaki
Konno's harassment continued
as usual that day.
[15:30] Tomozaki
Bumping into Tama's desk,
[15:34] Tomozaki
trash-talking Tama with her
minions so as to be overheard...
[15:40] Tomozaki
And Tama kept on putting up with it.
[15:42] Tomozaki
The class's mood became even
more sympathetic toward her.
[15:48] Tomozaki
But what had me even more curious...
[15:50] Tomozaki
was what Hinami was doing.
[15:54] Tomozaki
During every break period, she'd
casually chat with Mao Kamimae,
[15:57] Tomozaki
one of Konno's girls.
[16:04] Mizusawa
Takei said he'd join us
after soccer practice.
[16:07] Mizusawa
He's a real dum-dum, so don't
feel too uptight around him.
[16:11] Mizusawa
In some ways, he's a little like you.
[16:14] Hanabi
What? We're nothing alike!
[16:16] Tomozaki
No, he's right.
[16:18] Hanabi
Don't take his side!
[16:20] Tomozaki
He says exactly what's on his
mind. I'm the same way, too.
[16:26] Tomozaki
But you know...
[16:28] Tomozaki
Takei's always been a
key member of our class.
[16:31] Tomozaki
What's so different between him and us?
[16:33] Mizusawa
Could be any number of things, but a big one
[16:36] Mizusawa
is whether the group is used to you.
[16:39] Tomozaki
Used to...?
[16:41] Mizusawa
Remember when we were choosing
our sports tournament event,
[16:45] Mizusawa
and Takei wanted to do soccer?
[16:47] Mizusawa
Everyone just rolled with it
all, "Oh, this idiot again."
[16:53] Mizusawa
But with Tama...
[16:57] Tomozaki
Right... Even though she was just
naming her choice of event too...
[17:01] Tomozaki
the mood got a little weird when she did it.
[17:04] Hanabi
Yeah, and Minmi came to my rescue.
[17:09] Mizusawa
Takei has this certain charm, right?
[17:12] ---
And that's a big part of his character.
[17:15] Mizusawa
But Tama can be a little prickly,
and her charm doesn't come across.
[17:21] Hanabi
I'm not sure about all that...
[17:24] ---
How am I supposed to be charming?
[17:28] Mizusawa
Charm is about having a
consistent vulnerability.
[17:33] Tomozaki
A consistent vulnerability?
[17:36] Mizusawa
For example... let's see...
[17:38] Mizusawa
Liking cheese too much, say.
[17:41] Tomozaki
Ah!
[17:43] Hanabi
Like Aoi?
[17:44] Mizusawa
She's very obvious about her
lust for cheese: innocent,
[17:49] Mizusawa
but with an almost exaggerated zeal.
[17:52] Mizusawa
The people around her say, "Oh, that
Aoi," and it becomes part of her charm.
[17:57] Tomozaki
I see...
[17:58] Hanabi
I wonder if she does that on purpose.
[18:02] Mizusawa
Who can say?
[18:04] Mizusawa
Either way, it's food for thought, right?
[18:07] Takei
Sorry!
[18:08] Takei
I'm so—
[18:10] Takei
late!
[18:14] Mizusawa
See? All charm, this one.
[18:17] Takei
Sorry, Tama!
[18:19] Takei
I wish I could've done something to help!
[18:22] Hanabi
Thanks for thinking of me, though.
[18:24] Takei
I wanted to stop her, but
I didn't have the guts.
[18:27] Hanabi
I get that. Konno's scary!
[18:29] Takei
She sure is!
[18:31] Takei
But I think you're totally
in the right here, Tama.
[18:34] Hanabi
Oh, yeah? Thanks.
[18:36] Takei
Don't thank me! I'm apologizing here!
[18:41] Hanabi
It's fine, it's fine!
[18:42] Takei
At least you've got people in your corner!
[18:45] Takei
Me, Yuko... Sakura was
worried about you, too!
[18:50] Hanabi
Yuko? Sakura?
[18:52] Takei
Yuko Ueda and Sakura Kashiwazaki.
[18:55] Takei
Heck, even Mao was just telling
Erika, "Rein it in, girl!"
[19:00] Hanabi
Um...
[19:01] Hanabi
Who's Mao?
[19:02] Takei
Mao! Mao Kamimae, Erika's pal!
[19:06] Hanabi
Really?
[19:08] Takei
Really!
[19:09] Tomozaki
Can I ask you something, Tama?
[19:12] Hanabi
What is it?
[19:12] Tomozaki
You're not really interested
in your classmates, are you?
[19:17] Tomozaki
Their names weren't ringing any bells.
[19:21] Tomozaki
I was the same way.
[19:23] Tomozaki
I couldn't care less about any of them.
[19:26] Tomozaki
But once I started talking
with all sorts of people,
[19:29] Tomozaki
I saw that they all had their
own thoughts and concerns.
[19:33] Tomozaki
I gradually started taking an interest
in people other than myself,
[19:36] Tomozaki
and found myself wanting to know
specific things about them.
[19:40] Tomozaki
I noticed that simply asking those
questions led to natural conversations.
[19:45] Tomozaki
That's why I do think it's good to
practice a cheerful speaking style,
[19:51] Tomozaki
but more than that, I realized it's
important to take an interest in others
[19:55] Tomozaki
and work on accepting them.
[19:59] Hanabi
Yeah...
[20:00] Hanabi
If I don't care about my classmates...
[20:04] Hanabi
I can't get along with them.
[20:09] Takei
Whoa... that was awesome!
[20:12] Takei
Go, Army Boy-—Tomozaki!
[20:16] Mimimi
Tama!
[20:17] Mimimi
I'm here!
[20:19] Mimimi
Wait...
[20:20] Mimimi
Now Takei is in the mix?!
[20:22] Takei
You got that right!
[20:24] Aoi
Huh? What's all this?
[20:27] Mizusawa
It's Team Tomozaki, meeting to do
something about Tama's situation.
[20:32] Tomozaki
Wait, why is this my team?
[20:35] Mizusawa
You started this, didn't
you? Our fearless leader.
[20:39] Tomozaki
Leader? I mean...
[20:41] Mimimi
That's our Tomozaki! Brain and leader!
[20:44] Tomozaki
I don't need any more titles,
thank you very much.
[20:49] Aoi
Are you thinking about changing, Hanabi?
[20:52] Hanabi
Hmm? What's up, Aoi?
[20:54] Aoi
Oh, sorry. I was just curious.
[20:59] Hanabi
I am thinking I'd like to change.
[21:02] Aoi
I see...
[21:04] Hanabi
Do you think I'm better off not changing?
[21:07] Aoi
I... I don't want you to.
[21:12] Aoi
Maybe I just don't want to think
that facing things head-on
[21:16] Aoi
is the wrong thing to do.
[21:19] Tomozaki
Hinami?
[21:20] Aoi
But I can't make that decision for you.
[21:24] ---
It's just what I want, that's all.
[21:27] Hanabi
Thanks for your concern, Aoi.
[21:31] Hanabi
But I've got Tomozaki and
the others backing me up.
[21:34] Hanabi
I think I'm going to give it a solid try.
[21:37] Hanabi
I'm counting on you, okay?
Just the tiniest bit, though.
[21:40] Tomozaki
There's that excessive honesty again.
[21:44] Aoi
I see. You are two peas in a pod.
[21:50] Aoi
You've got my support, too!
[21:52] Hanabi
Thanks, Aoi!
[21:54] Tomozaki
As I watched Hinami, back to
being our perfect heroine,
[21:58] Tomozaki
a thought popped into my head:
[22:01] Tomozaki
Maybe the expression Hinami revealed
when she took off her mask
[22:06] Tomozaki
was just another mask after all.

[00:08] Mimimi
Tomozaki?
[00:13] Mimimi
You wanted advice?
[00:16] Tomozaki
You're always messing with Tama,
[00:19] Tomozaki
so I figured you might be
able to give me some tips.
[00:22] Mimimi
Now hang on, Tomozaki!
That's simply inexcusable!
[00:25] Mimimi
I'm not messing with Tama—
[00:28] Mimimi
I'm simply expressing my love!
[00:32] Tomozaki
Uh, sure...
[00:34] Mimimi
What a weak response!
[00:36] Mimimi
C'mon, work with me here!
[00:38] Tomozaki
Oh, um...
[00:40] Tomozaki
Y-You sure have a funny way of
expressing your love, Mimimi!

Leave it to you, Brain!
[00:48] Tomozaki
Y-Yeah?
[00:50] Mimimi
Totally!

You're the only comedy partner for me, Brain!
[00:54] Tomozaki
Now you're roping me into doing stand-up?
[00:59] Tomozaki
Anyway, what is it about Tama that
you target for your teasing—
[01:03] Tomozaki
er, your expressions of love?
[01:08] Mimimi
Hmm... Her cuteness and her tininess?
[01:12] Tomozaki
I figured...
[01:15] Tomozaki
Okay, have you seen any good
comedy routines lately?
[01:19] Mimimi
Huh? Where'd that come from?
[01:22] Tomozaki
I was just thinking...
[01:23] Tomozaki
if Tama had an obvious
vulnerability like Takei,
[01:27] Tomozaki
the class could get used to
it as part of her character.
[01:31] Tomozaki
It's for research.
[01:36] Mimimi
Aha.
[01:38] Tomozaki
I mean, I have a bunch of ideas, but...
[01:42] Mimimi
Oh, Tomozaki.
[01:44] Mimimi
You're a sneaky one.
[01:46] Mimimi
So quick to get embarrassed, but when push
comes to shove... boy, can you shove.
[01:52] Mimimi
Hah!
[01:53] Tomozaki
What the—
[01:54] Mimimi
Your hero complex has earned
you a piggy-nose punishment.
[01:57] Tomozaki
I don't know what any of that means!
[02:00] Mimimi
You don't have to!
[02:03] Mimimi
Oh, man! You're so ugly!
[02:06] Tomozaki
Y-You can be ugly on the outside
with a beautiful heart... probably!
[02:11] Mimimi
Yeah, I know.
[02:19] Mimimi
Comedy routines, was it?
[02:21] Mimimi
Let's see...
[02:24] Tomozaki
Wait... what the hell was all that about?!
SIGN 2nd Stage: Lv. 4 Villagers have their own way of life
[04:02] Akiyama
Oops. Sorry.
[04:04] Tomozaki
The Konno girls' harassment
of Tama continued.
[04:09] Tomozaki
But Tama kept on putting up with it,
[04:11] Tomozaki
which made the class seem to
grow more and more sympathetic.
[04:18] Tomozaki
Hinami, too, kept on creating a
protective atmosphere for Tama.
[04:24] Tomozaki
And what's more...
[04:25] Tomozaki
Hinami did what?
[04:27] Yuzu
She asked me not to hang
out with Shuji for the time being.
[04:33] Yuzu
Not even outside of school.
Erika might see us, she said.
[04:36] Tomozaki
I guess it would get pretty
messy if Erika saw you.
[04:42] Yuzu
Right? When I told Shuji, he got all huffy,
[04:45] Yuzu
like, "Fine by me."
[04:49] Yuzu
And that's why
[04:51] Yuzu
I've been thinking I'd knit
or sew him something
[04:56] Yuzu
to get on his good side.
[04:59] Tomozaki
Would that even work on Nakamura?
[05:03] Yuzu
Maybe I'm just being selfish.
[05:05] Yuzu
I always dreamed of giving a
boyfriend hand-knitted presents,
[05:10] Yuzu
but...
[05:11] Tomozaki
Could you stop being all shy about it?
You're the one who brought it up.
[05:19] Yuzu
Oh, sh-shut up!
[05:22] Tomozaki
Still, it doesn't strike me as very
Hinami-like to make such a big ask of Izumi.
[05:29] Tomozaki
She must be at her wits' end, too.
SIGN Old AV Room
[05:36] Tomozaki
Then came lunchtime.
[05:39] Mizusawa
Hey! Sorry I'm late.
[05:42] Mizusawa
Took me a while to blow off Shuji.
[05:45] Hanabi
Sorry for all this.
[05:46] Mizusawa
Don't sweat it. How's the practice going?
[05:49] Hanabi
Well... how is it going, professor?
[05:53] Tomozaki
"Professor"? You can't mean me?
[05:55] Hanabi
That's right. You coach me at every break.
[06:00] Tomozaki
I-I guess so.
[06:02] Tomozaki
Um... I think practice
is coming along nicely.
[06:07] Hanabi
Really?!
[06:07] Mizusawa
Good. Then let's see you in Takei Mode.
[06:11] Hanabi
Got it.
[06:14] Hanabi
Bring it on!
[06:16] Mizusawa
Ooh, nice.
[06:18] Hanabi
Right? I spent a lot of time practicing!
[06:20] Mizusawa
Yeah? What did that involve?
[06:22] Hanabi
I recorded myself talking, compared
it to how Takei and Minmi talk,
[06:27] Hanabi
and corrected my own speech!
[06:29] Mizusawa
So you modeled after Takei
and Mimimi? Good choice.
[06:33] Hanabi
And Tomozaki didn't come up with that—I did!
[06:37] Hanabi
Awesome, right?
[06:39] Mizusawa
Totally awesome, yep.
[06:40] Hanabi
Hey! Say it like you mean it!
[06:43] Mizusawa
Oh, right. Sorry.
[06:45] Hanabi
That too!
[06:50] Hanabi
So what do you think?
[06:52] Hanabi
I've been trying to speak
more cheerfully than before.
[06:56] Mizusawa
Oh, yeah—you're a lot easier to talk to now,
[06:58] Mizusawa
and I think your charm is coming through.
[07:00] Hanabi
Really?!
[07:01] Tomozaki
Okay, Tama, try that other thing next.
[07:05] Mizusawa
Oh, there's more?
[07:08] Hanabi
I used these comedy routines
Minmi told me about as reference.
[07:12] Hanabi
If you would, Tomozaki?
[07:14] Tomozaki
Here goes!
[07:16] Tomozaki
Huh? Why are you so far away, Tama?
[07:20] Tomozaki
I only look like I'm far away—
I'm just short! It's called perspective!
[07:25] Tomozaki
Oh, really?
[07:26] Hanabi
Yes, really! It's an optical illusion!
[07:28] Tomozaki
But listen, this room is
bigger than I thought, too.
[07:31] Hanabi
I told you, it's because I'm short!
[07:33] Hanabi
It only looks bigger in comparison!
[07:42] Mizusawa
What the heck?
[07:44] Tomozaki
We thought this was an easy way
[07:45] Tomozaki
to get the class used to Tama's
specific vulnerability.
[07:50] Mizusawa
Not bad at all. You had
me wanting to join in.
[07:56] Mizusawa
That's our Fumiya.
[07:57] Mizusawa
The teacher and his brilliant student.
[08:01] Tomozaki
Well, y-you know.
[08:02] Hanabi
Ahem! "Brilliant" is right!
[08:05] Mizusawa
Y'know what's sad, though...
[08:07] Mizusawa
seeing the teacher left completely
in the dust by his student.
[08:11] Tomozaki
I g-guess...
[08:12] Hanabi
Tomozaki?
[08:14] Hanabi
Too bad for you!
[08:18] Mizusawa
I'd say Tama can start mixing
with the rest of the class now,
[08:21] Mizusawa
but maybe be a little careful at first.
[08:24] Tomozaki
Uh... so a little more practice in
a setting where it's okay to fail.
[08:30] Mizusawa
Bingo.
[08:31] Mizusawa
I'd like to bring someone in
for a dress rehearsal of sorts,
[08:35] Mizusawa
but everyone's avoiding Tama right now.
[08:38] Hanabi
Oh, right... This is gonna be tough.
[08:41] Mizusawa
Aoi and Mimimi are on our side,
but they're too friendly with Tama.
[08:44] Mizusawa
It'd hardly be practice.
[08:46] Mizusawa
So that leaves...
[08:47] Tomozaki
Izumi?
[08:50] Mizusawa
If Erika happened to find out,
Yuzu's standing would suffer.
[08:53] Tomozaki
Right...
[08:56] Tomozaki
Oh!
[08:57] Mizusawa
Did you think of somebody?

Ooh, ooh! Who is it?

Let me check with them first.

[09:10] Fuka
I'm nervous...
[09:12] Tomozaki
I-I get that.
[09:14] Fuka
I just talk to Hanabi normally, right?
[09:18] Tomozaki
Right. You haven't spoken
with her much, have you?
[09:22] Fuka
No. I've thought of her
as one very strong girl...
[09:27] Fuka
But no, I've never actually talked to her.
[09:31] Tomozaki
What do you think about Konno harassing
Tama and everyone avoiding her?
[09:39] Fuka
Well...
[09:40] Fuka
I feel sorry for Hanabi. I think it's unfair.
[09:45] Fuka
But I can't bring myself to blame
Konno or the rest of the class.
[09:51] Tomozaki
What do you mean?
[09:53] Fuka
Um... well, I don't agree with harassment
[09:56] Fuka
or with going along with the
crowd to shun any one person.
[10:02] Fuka
But I think Konno and the class must
be doing all this because they're weak.
[10:09] Tomozaki
Weak?
[10:12] Fuka
There must be a kind of uneasiness inside
them that they can't resolve on their own.
[10:18] Fuka
If they don't vent it somehow,
it gets to be too much to bear.
[10:21] Fuka
And they worry about how they look
to others, so they join the crowd.
[10:25] Fuka
It might be something like that.
[10:28] Fuka
I think Konno and the others
are acting like this
[10:33] Fuka
in order to run away from
something they can't fix.
[10:35] Fuka
Even though it's wrong.
[10:37] Tomozaki
Running away, huh...
[10:40] Fuka
Yes.
[10:42] Fuka
Which is why I get the feeling, out of
Konno and the class and Hanabi,
[10:46] Fuka
that Hanabi must be the
strongest of them all.
[10:50] Tomozaki
You may be right.
[10:51] Fuka
And I wonder if Konno and the others
aren't relying on that strength.
[10:58] Fuka
Because you can lean on it and lean
on it—and Hanabi still won't fall.
[11:03] Fuka
Still...
[11:04] Fuka
his problem needs to be solved somehow.
[11:08] Fuka
Which is why I'm glad I can be
a part of it, thanks to you.

About our strategy for helping Tama?
[12:43] Fuka
Yes, he has told me about that.
[12:45] Mizusawa
Okay. Er, why such formal speech?
[12:49] Fuka
Um... we're not close yet.
[12:53] Mizusawa
Well, whatever. Now, shall we?
[12:56] Fuka
A-All right.
[13:03] Mizusawa
There's more to you than
meets the eye, Fumiya.
[13:06] Tomozaki
What's that supposed to mean?
[13:08] Mizusawa
Nah, it's just...
[13:10] Mizusawa
She may not stand out much, but
that Kikuchi is awful cute.
[13:15] Mizusawa
What?
[13:16] Tomozaki
Nothing.
[13:18] Mizusawa
Hmm...
[13:20] Fuka
Thank you in advance.
[13:21] Hanabi
Same here.
[13:23] Mizusawa
It's like some kind of competition.
[13:25] Tomozaki
Yeah. I mean, it kind of
is a real contest for Tama.
[13:30] Fuka
Um... where should we begin?
[13:36] Hanabi
I didn't know you were friends with Tomozaki.
[13:41] Fuka
Yes, I've had the recent
pleasure of his friendship.
[13:45] Hanabi
Don't you think he's cheered up lately?
[13:48] Fuka
I do. And I find it so wonderful when
people work to change themselves
[13:52] Fuka
to be who they want to be.
[13:54] Mizusawa
Wonderful...
[13:56] Mizusawa
You heard her.
[13:57] Tomozaki
Y-Yeah...
[13:59] Hanabi
It's wonderful to change yourself?
[14:01] Hanabi
Do you really think so?
[14:03] Fuka
Yes, and if that's what a person wants to do,
[14:06] Fuka
I think that's just spectacular.
[14:10] Tomozaki
I mean,
[14:11] Tomozaki
this is for Mimimi, after all.
[14:14] Hanabi
Uh-huh!
[14:17] Fuka
It's been rough lately, huh, Hanabi?
[14:21] Hanabi
Sometimes I'm like, "Ugh,"
but I'm okay—honest.
[14:24] Hanabi
I have Aoi and Minmi in my corner,
[14:27] Hanabi
and Tomozaki and Mizusawa are helping out, too.
[14:31] Fuka
Thank goodness.
[14:33] Hanabi
I appreciate your concern, though!
[14:35] Fuka
You have so many friends on
whom you can rely. I'm jealous.
[14:40] Hanabi
Yeah, everyone but Tomozaki is a real rock.
[14:44] Tomozaki
Hey!
[14:46] Fuka
If all these people will flock to you
even in such a terrible situation,
[14:51] Fuka
it must mean they really care about you.
[14:54] Hanabi
N-Now you're just making me blush!
[14:57] Fuka
You're a wonderful person,
Hanabi. And cute, too.
[15:00] Hanabi
No! I'm just short, that's all!
[15:03] Fuka
Short?
[15:05] Hanabi
No, wait! Forget I said anything!
[15:09] Mizusawa
Good thing we did this dry run.
[15:11] Tomozaki
Yeah.
[15:12] Mizusawa
Hey, Tama!
[15:13] Mizusawa
Don't go running so far away
just because you're embarrassed.
[15:16] Hanabi
I'm short, that's all! I only
look like I'm far away!
[15:21] Mizusawa
Oh, really?
[15:22] Hanabi
Yes, really! It's an optical illusion!
[15:25] Fuka
You're cute, all right.
[15:27] Hanabi
Look, it's like I said...
SIGN Old AV Room
[15:34] Mizusawa
I think that's enough practice for today.
[15:37] Mizusawa
How was it, Kikuchi?
[15:38] Fuka
It was very easy to talk with Hanabi.
[15:41] Mizusawa
I'd call that a success!
[15:43] Mizusawa
Now we have to see if Tama can
start to care about her classmates.
[15:49] Hanabi
Right.
[15:54] Tomozaki
If you're anything like first-semester me,
[15:57] Tomozaki
I'm betting your thinking goes like this:
[16:00] Tomozaki
Whatever happens in class, it's a
world that has nothing to do with me.
[16:05] Tomozaki
I can't be a part of any of that.
[16:08] Hanabi
That's...
[16:11] Hanabi
Yeah, maybe.
[16:12] Tomozaki
Back when I felt that way,
[16:15] Tomozaki
I could be surrounded by fun,
[16:17] Tomozaki
yet that reality seemed less
relevant to me than fiction.
[16:21] Tomozaki
Everything was just... gray.
[16:24] Tomozaki
But once I took that blind leap,
[16:28] Tomozaki
color came into that gray
world, slowly but surely.
[16:32] Tomozaki
I began to be able to take more of
an interest in the people around me.
[16:35] Tomozaki
Tama, you probably think people
don't like you very much.
[16:41] Tomozaki
But truly bad people are rare.
[16:45] Fuka
The way I see it, if I may...
[16:48] Fuka
Konno, say, is a sore loser, and she
hates when people look down on her.
[16:54] Fuka
But to the people she decides are her
friends, she can be compassionate as well.
[16:59] Fuka
Kamimae and Akiyama must have
very little confidence,
[17:04] Fuka
and so they make confident friends
to fill that void in themselves.
[17:09] Fuka
Yet that's also a lovely
way to take the initiative
[17:13] Fuka
and change the situation around them.
[17:16] Fuka
Izumi puts others before herself and tends
to be on the losing side because of it.
[17:22] Fuka
But that's kindness, too, that has her
feeling others' pain as if it were her own.
[17:29] Fuka
Each character in the story
that is our classroom
[17:34] Fuka
has their own worries,
their own growth, their own faults.
[17:39] Fuka
There's not a person alive who
is truly thinking nothing at all.
[17:43] Fuka
I wonder if that realization might
spark your interest a little.
[17:50] Hanabi
Uh-huh.
[17:52] Mizusawa
I've been thinking.
[17:55] Mizusawa
You—and Kikuchi, too, who knows—
[17:59] Mizusawa
for as slow as your progress
may be, it's careful as hell.
[18:04] Mizusawa
The complete opposite of me.
[18:08] Mimimi
Tama!
[18:09] Mimimi
Here I am!
[18:11] Mimimi
Wait...
[18:12] Mimimi
Now you've got Kikuchi with you?
[18:15] Fuka
H-Hello...
[18:18] Aoi
What kind of match-up is this?
[18:20] Mizusawa
Kikuchi's temporarily assisting
Team Tomozaki today.
[18:25] Mizusawa
She was pals with Fumiya and
decided to lend us a hand.
[18:28] Mimimi
Oh, okay.
[18:30] Aoi
I didn't see that coming.
[18:39] Mimimi
You're cute.
[18:42] Mimimi
How could I have overlooked
such an adorable girl?!
[18:46] Mimimi
Welcome... to Nanami World!
[18:49] Fuka
N-Nanami... World?
[18:52] Tomozaki
C'mon, Mimimi, dial it
down a notch, would you?
[18:55] Tomozaki
She's not used to your
brand of... enthusiasm.
[18:58] Mimimi
You're the worst! How could you
take Kikuchi's side and not mine?
[19:02] Tomozaki
That's not the issue here!
[19:05] Aoi
Yikes! I forgot to hand
in my journal entries!
[19:10] Aoi
Will you come with me, Mimimi?
[19:12] Mimimi
Huh? Me?
[19:19] Mimimi
Okay, I'll tag along!
[19:21] Mimimi
You too, Tama!
[19:22] Hanabi
Me too? Why?
[19:25] Mimimi
Just... c'mon!
[19:27] Mizusawa
I forgot something, too, back
in the classroom. Be right back.
[19:32] Tomozaki
Sure...
SIGN Today Takahiro: We're heading home! Good luck! Read Hey!
[19:40] Tomozaki

[19:43] Fuka
This is the first time
we've gone home together.
[19:47] Tomozaki
I-I guess so.
[19:49] Tomozaki
Um... how did today go for you?
[19:53] Fuka
Well...
[19:54] Fuka
I was kind of nervous being around so
many people I hadn't talked to that much before.
[19:59] Tomozaki
But it was nice to see you chatting
with everyone for a change.
[20:04] Fuka
Was it?
[20:06] Fuka
I thought it was nice having a front-row seat
[20:09] Fuka
to see you enjoying yourself
with everyone for a change.
[20:13] Fuka
Nice... and a lot of fun.
[20:15] Tomozaki
R-Really?
[20:17] Fuka
You're always showing me things
I've never seen before.
[20:29] Tomozaki
Finally, the next day,
[20:31] Tomozaki
Tama put her lessons to
work in the classroom.
[20:35] Mimimi
Don't stand so far away, Tama—c'mere!
[20:39] Hanabi
I'm not far away! It just looks
that way because I'm small!
[20:42] Hanabi
It's called perspective!
[20:43] Aoi
Hey, was this desk always so big?
[20:47] Hanabi
It only looks big because I'm so small!
[20:49] Tomozaki
Hinami helped out here, too.
[20:52] Kashiwazaki
You're funny, Tama!
[20:52] Tomozaki
She gathered the girls who were her
and Mimimi's friends around Tama.
[20:58] Aoi
Hey, this group should hang out sometime!
[21:00] Mimimi
Sure—how about tama-rrow?
[21:03] Takei
Yes!
[21:04] Hanabi
Hey, don't shoehorn me into this!
[21:10] All
Cheers!
[21:14] Hanabi
Thanks, gang!
[21:16] Takei
Great job, Tama!
[21:19] Mizusawa
Keep it like this, and Konno
should knock off the harassment, too.
[21:24] Hanabi
You think so?
[21:25] Mizusawa
Once the class is on your side, people will
start getting irritated with Erika
[21:30] Mizusawa
if the mood in the classroom goes sour.
[21:32] Mizusawa
And she's super sensitive to that stuff,
[21:35] Mizusawa
so she'll give it a rest.
[21:37] Hanabi
Oh, okay.
[21:39] Mizusawa
Mimimi said she'll join us
once her club meeting's over.
[21:42] Mizusawa
Aoi's still got student council work,
so she's a no-show.
[21:46] Hanabi
What about Fuka?
[21:48] Tomozaki
Oh, uh, apparently she has work today.
[21:51] Takei
Hmm? What's this about Kikuchi?
[21:54] Mizusawa
Ask Fumiya. They're friends.
[21:57] Takei
Oh? Is Army Boy finally growing up?
[22:00] Tomozaki
It's not like that!
[22:02] Hanabi
You're blushing, Tomozaki.

But...

Everyone's been doing so

[02:42] Hanabi
Coming up with all these ideas...

I didn't want all that to be for nothing,

so I just sucked it up.

You did good.

Excuse me? What's it to you, Aoi?

thing you always wear.

Why don't you give it a rest?

you always wear is stupid and lame.

And you suck at putting on lashes.

she'd probably step it up if I promised

Um...
[08:46] Konno
Mao? Uh...
[08:49] Tomozaki
That's the class queen for you:
ultra-sensitive to the mood.
[08:52] Aoi
Apologize.
[08:57] Aoi
Apologize, Erika.
[09:00] Konno
What? To her?!
[09:02] Kamimae
Jeez. You're unbelievable.
[09:05] Konno
No—I was just—
[09:08] Aoi
Erika... that was uncalled for.
[09:12] Aoi
I know it was in the heat of the moment,
[09:15] Aoi
but not apologizing just isn't right.
[09:18] Seno
Yeah, that was uncalled for.
[09:20] Kashiwazaki
Erika really is in the wrong here.
[09:24] Kazuya
Kinda sours me on her.
[09:26] Akina
How hard is it to say she's sorry?
[09:27] Hashiguchi
I've never seen her apologize before, so...
[09:33] Tomozaki
The mood—
[09:37] Tomozaki
it's being manipulated.

I'm against violence!
[09:42] Konno
Huh? That was an accident.
[09:45] Konno
Don't you know what "violence" means?
[09:46] Konno
Tell them, Mika.
[09:49] Akiyama
B-Beats me...
[09:52] Kawaguchi
Aren't you the one who doesn't
know the meaning of the word?
[09:54] Matsumoto
No kidding.
[09:55] Tachibana
Then what Natsubayashi did
wasn't violence, either.
[09:59] Tomozaki
The class will automatically
start judging Konno.
[10:04] Tomozaki
As a shallow excuse for punishment...
[10:08] Tomozaki
This will settle it.
[10:10] Aoi
Still...
[10:13] Aoi
Don't you think she has to apologize?
[10:16] Nakamura
Totally.
[10:18] Nakamura
C'mon, Erika. All of this
has been your fault.
[10:23] Nakamura
Just apologize already.
[10:27] Tomozaki
That just now—
[10:29] Aoi
Don't you think she has to apologize?
[10:31] Tomozaki
Was she looking at Nakamura?
[10:35] Aoi
Apologize now and Mao will forgive you, too.
[10:38] Aoi
Right?
[10:40] Tomozaki
This time it was Izumi.
[10:42] Yuzu
That's right, Erika.
[10:45] Tomozaki
I knew it.
[10:47] Yuzu
She knows it was in the heat of the moment.
[10:50] Tomozaki
No... their words contain...
[10:52] Yuzu
Apologize to each other and you'll be square.
[10:55] Tomozaki
...a reversal spell...
[10:56] Nakamura
Yeah, Erika.
[10:58] Tomozaki
...cast by the demon queen!
[11:02] Konno
What gives? What is it with you two?
[11:06] Konno
Don't get so cocky just
because you're a thing now.
[11:09] Yuzu
E-Erika?
[11:11] Tomozaki
It's basically like this:
[11:13] Tomozaki
Hinami called on Nakamura and Izumi in turn
[11:17] Tomozaki
and they both agreed with her.
[11:21] Tomozaki
That's all.
[11:23] Tomozaki
But to Konno...
[11:25] Tomozaki
It probably looked like the
two were ganging up on her
[11:30] Tomozaki
as a couple.
[11:32] Aoi
See? They're both saying it, too.
[11:35] Konno
Why don't you get a room already?
It's disgusting.
[11:41] Hashiguchi
Get a room?
[11:43] Matsumoto
Where'd that come from?
[11:45] Kawaguchi
Jealous much?
[11:47] Konno
Look, you guys are totally beyond lame.
[11:51] Konno
Just because you started dating doesn't mean
[11:53] Konno
you get to hold hands and dogpile me.
[11:56] Konno
It's just mean!
[11:59] Konno
What the hell... Seriously...
[12:01] Konno
Quit... Quit making fun of me already!
[12:06] Konno
You can date whoever you want, okay?
[12:10] Konno
But going on about how perfect you
are for each other is just gross!
[12:16] Tomozaki
The illusion that the demon queen had spun
[12:19] Tomozaki
was visible only to Erika Konno.
[12:21] Tomozaki
Which meant...
[12:23] Sho
What?
[12:24] Seno
Dunno.
[12:25] Hashiguchi
Now that's a victim complex.
[12:26] Kawaguchi
Right?
[12:29] Konno
Are you two seriously, like, twelve?
[12:33] Yuzu
Erika...
[12:34] Aoi
I get how you feel, but these two
don't mean to make fun of you.
[12:40] Aoi
I think maybe you're losing
perspective, Erika.
[12:44] Aoi
You're getting carried away
with this crush of yours.
[12:49] Aoi
I get it. That kind of
thing happens to me, too.
[12:52] Aoi
But try to calm down for a sec. Okay?
[12:55] Tomozaki
Why even go there?
[12:58] Konno
But I... I don't...
[13:01] Tomozaki
Hinami.
[13:10] Aoi
Well! That's the end of that!
[13:14] Aoi
Sorry for saying all that weird stuff.
[13:16] Aoi
I don't think we can speak calmly right now,
[13:19] Aoi
so let's talk later, when we're
not raring for a fight.
[13:22] Aoi
C'mon, wipe your tears.
[13:24] Aoi
Tissues, tissues...
[13:28] Aoi
Sorry, Shuji—can I have a tissue?
[13:30] Nakamura
Yeah, sure.
[13:31] Nakamura
No problem.
[13:33] Yuzu
I've already made tissue covers and stuff.
[13:40] Nakamura
Here you go, Erika.
[13:55] Girl A
Whoa...
[13:56] Girl B
Did she just...?
[13:57] Konno
No—wait—
[13:59] Boy A
Unbelievable.
[14:01] Tachibana
You know, I've always
thought she was selfish.
[14:04] Boy B
Always going around acting
like she's the queen.
[14:07] Konno
No...
[14:08] Konno
That was—
[14:09] Girl A
She's been crying for a while now.
[14:11] Girl A
Is she going for sympathy points?
[14:14] Boy C
Seriously!
[14:15] Girl B
Lashing out just because the
guy you like is taken...
[14:19] Boy D
That's so lame!
[14:23] Kamimae
Serves you right.
[14:30] Kamimae
Oops, sorry.
[14:32] Kamimae
It was an accident.
[14:34] Tomozaki
The mood... the norm for good or bad...
[14:38] Tomozaki
had flipped.
[14:39] Boy A
Whoops!
[14:40] Boy A
An accident.
[14:41] Boy B
Me, too—an accident.
[14:55] Tomozaki
At this rate, there's no one who can—
[14:57] Hanabi
Hey!
[14:59] Hanabi
Just because Konno did it doesn't
mean you can do it back.
[15:02] Hanabi
It's just as wrong when you do it!
[15:07] Tomozaki
This is too righteous.
[15:10] Tomozaki
With the class mood as it stands now...
[15:12] Hanabi
You can't just gang up and
attack people like that!
[15:16] Hanabi
Knock it off!
[15:18] Tomozaki
...it might not fly.
[15:20] Hanabi
Let's end this on good terms
and have a fresh start.
[15:25] Hanabi
Tama-rrow is another day!
[15:31] Kashiwazaki
You're amazing, Hanabi!
[15:35] Seno
She really is! I didn't see that coming.
[15:37] Seno
But y'know, she could be right.
[15:40] Tachibana
I mean, if the main victim
says we should stop...
[15:44] Matsumoto
I guess we'd better stop.
[15:50] Yuzu
Erika!
[15:54] Mimimi
That was so cool, Tama!
[16:07] Kamimae
I'm sorry, Natsubayashi.
[16:10] Akiyama
For everything.
[16:13] Hanabi
Eh. It's fine.
[16:15] Hanabi
But I'm not the only one you need to talk to.
[16:20] Akiyama
Um, Hirabayashi... I'm sorry.
[16:23] Kamimae
Me, too.
[16:24] Hirabayashi
Oh, uh...
[16:26] ---
O-Okay.
[16:28] Hirabayashi
That's all right.
[16:30] Aoi
Thanks, Hanabi. I don't think I could
have quelled that on my own.
[16:35] Hanabi
Thank you, Aoi—for fighting for me.
[16:39] Aoi
You fought plenty hard yourself.
[16:42] Hanabi
Yeah...
[16:44] Hanabi
But I kinda didn't want to
see you doing that, Aoi.
[16:50] Aoi
Hmm? Doing what?
[16:54] Hanabi
I just...
[16:56] Hanabi
I really didn't.
SIGN Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki S2
[17:03] Hanabi
I... I made Aoi do something terrible.
[17:08] Tomozaki
You talking about what Hinami did?
[17:10] Hanabi
Yeah...
[17:11] Hanabi
She was really angry.
[17:16] Tomozaki
It was shocking, yeah.
[17:19] Hanabi
I'm pretty sure Aoi didn't
want to do what she did.
[17:23] Hanabi
But because of me...
[17:26] Tomozaki
I thought
[17:27] Tomozaki
Tama had picked up on Hinami's ulterior
motives and was disappointed in her.
[17:33] Tomozaki
But...
[17:35] Tomozaki
You trust Hinami, don't you?
[17:40] Hanabi
Thanks for everything—both of you.
[17:42] Hanabi
I gotta get to my club meeting!
[17:45] Mizusawa
Tama's half right.
[17:48] Mizusawa
Is that about the shape of it?
[17:49] Tachibana
Yeah... pretty much.
[17:52] Mizusawa
The way I see it,
[17:54] Mizusawa
I'm someone who can spot the parts
of Aoi that she hides inside herself.
[18:00] Mizusawa
You probably know about
those better than I do.
[18:06] Tomozaki
Well...
[18:09] Mizusawa
Ah, never mind. Even if you did,
[18:12] Mizusawa
it wouldn't be fair of me to ask.
[18:15] Mizusawa
The team's taught me something lately, too.
[18:19] Mizusawa
How to come right out and
say what's on your mind.
[18:22] Mizusawa
So I'm just gonna say what I'm thinking:
[18:33] Mizusawa
I like Aoi.
[18:35] Mizusawa
What do you think of her?
[18:44] Tomozaki
It was several days later.
[18:46] Tomozaki
The animosity toward Konno had gradually
dissipated after Tama's scolding.
[18:53] Tomozaki
She didn't take back her throne at
the top of the class, of course,
[18:58] Tomozaki
but Izumi's efforts and Konno's
naturally strong communication skills
[19:04] Tomozaki
restored her to a perfectly
respectable standing.
[19:08] Tomozaki
The rest is up to Konno's maneuvering.
[19:12] Tomozaki
And how did Tama fare in all this?
[19:16] Tomozaki
Simply put, she gained
a bunch of new friends.
[19:20] Kashiwazaki
Tama! We've gotta try karaoke sometime!
[19:22] Hanabi
Mmm, I'm not big on karaoke.
[19:26] Kashiwazaki
You're so honest!
[19:28] Tomozaki
Whenever Tama came right out with an opinion,
[19:31] Tomozaki
people got a kick out of it:
"That's Tama for you!"
[19:35] Hanabi
But I'll go if Minmi is coming.
[19:38] Mimimi
What the—?!
[19:39] Mimimi
I'm feeling the love!
SIGN Hey, Minmi! Back off!
[19:43] Kashiwazaki
You sure do love Mimimi, don't you, Tama?
[19:46] Hanabi
N-No I don't! It just looks
that way 'cause I'm so small!
[19:51] Kashiwazaki
Huh? What's your size got to do with it?
[19:57] Hanabi
I-I mean...
[19:58] Kashiwazaki
Oh my gosh! Just look at you blush!
[20:02] Kashiwazaki
A-dor-a-ble!
[20:05] Mimimi
Hey! Hands off my Tama!
[20:07] Kashiwazaki
Aw, c'mon...
[20:09] Hanabi
I'm not yours either, though, Minmi.
[20:11] Mimimi
What?!
[20:12] Tomozaki
This is "the class being used
to her character" in a nutshell.
[20:18] Tomozaki
At any rate, her relationship
with Nakamura improved, too.
[20:22] Nakamura
Huh? What about you, Hanabi?
[20:25] Hanabi
I'm firmly in the downtown camp.
[20:27] Hanabi
Let the guys go to the
soccer game without us!
[20:30] Nakamura
Man, you really are stubborn, aren't you?
[20:33] Hanabi
Oh, like you aren't?
[20:36] Tomozaki
As Mizusawa suggested, it's not
like Nakamura truly hated her.
[20:41] Tomozaki
I think he just wanted
a reason to forgive her.
[20:45] Tomozaki
Difficult stuff. Human relationships
are so complicated.
[20:51] Mimimi
Okay, everyone, listen up!
[20:54] Mimimi
Now, I've gathered you all here
today for one big reason...
[20:59] Mizusawa
Ooh, are they ready?
[21:01] Takei
Finally!
[21:02] Mimimi
Ta-dah! Reinforcements!
[21:06] Hanabi
Reinforcements?
[21:12] Hanabi
Are these...?
[21:17] Mimimi
Check this out!
[21:26] Mimimi
Now we're all set!
[21:31] Hanabi
Tomozaki, I bet you're the
one who came up with this.
[21:35] Tomozaki
You got me. At least now we all match, right?
[21:39] Hanabi
Oh, Tomozaki, you're such a dum-dum.
[21:41] Hanabi
But... thanks!
[21:44] Tomozaki
Yep.
[21:45] Yuzu
I worked hard to sew those!
[21:47] Nakamura
It's kinda coming apart here, though.
[21:49] Yuzu
What?! No way!
[21:50] Nakamura
Kidding.
[21:51] Yuzu
L-Lying, you mean.
[21:53] Yuzu
Cut it out!
[21:56] Aoi
Okay, okay.
[21:57] Mizusawa
That's enough flirting, you two.
[21:59] Nakamura
We're not flirting!
[21:59] Yuzu
But we're not flirting!
[22:05] Aoi
They're kind of pretty all laid out like this.
[22:08] Tomozaki
Yeah, they are.
[22:10] Mimimi
Such a colorful circle—sorta like...
[22:13] Mimimi
like fireworks!
[22:16] Hanabi
"Hanabi"—get it?
[22:18] Mimimi
Hey, don't steal my line!
[22:22] Hanabi
Since we're all here, let's take a picture!
[22:25] Mizusawa
Hey, yeah.
[22:26] Mimimi
Yes! To show our friendship!
[22:28] Takei
Let's do it! Let's do it!
[22:32] Hanabi
Say "cheese"!
[22:34] Mimimi
Tamaya!
[22:48] Tomozaki
A thought occurred to me...
[22:51] Tomozaki
about the cruel way Hinami
brought Konno down a peg.
[22:54] Tomozaki
Make no mistake:
[22:56] Tomozaki
That wasn't some spur-of-the-moment thing.
[22:58] Tomozaki
It was premeditated malice, a plan carefully
[23:01] Tomozaki
constructed in advance to hurt
Konno—deeply and completely.
[23:06] Tomozaki
Maybe because I've been acting on my
trust in her as her student so far,
[23:12] Tomozaki
but part of me thought she
couldn't really be like that...
[23:19] Mizusawa
What do you think of her?
[23:23] Tomozaki
My answer to Miyazawa's question?
[23:26] Tomozaki
She's the teacher who brought
color to this game of life.
[23:33] Tomozaki
I'd like to know Aoi Hinami better.
[23:37] Tomozaki
**That's what I thought of her.

[02:47] Aoi
Now, then:
[02:48] Aoi
Let's go through some facts first, shall we?
[02:51] Aoi
You had something to ask me
about the Hanabi situation?
[02:57] Tomozaki
Yeah.
[03:02] Tomozaki
What you did to Konno...
that was all calculated.
[03:06] Tomozaki
Do I have that right?
[03:08] Aoi
Yes.
[03:10] Aoi
I made Erika think that Nakamura
and Yuzu were in cahoots.
[03:15] Aoi
Once she's off-balance, it only
takes a little push to tip her over.
[03:20] Aoi
While exploiting her weaknesses,
I made an example out of her,
[03:23] Aoi
then shut it all down with
no one else in the wrong.
[03:27] Aoi
That's all.
[03:29] Tomozaki
Still, you didn't have
to be so cruel about it.
[03:33] Aoi
Cruel, huh?
[03:36] Tomozaki
You used someone's crush to tear
her pride to shreds in public.
[03:42] Tomozaki
For me, that... that was a step too far.
[03:45] Aoi
If I hadn't, I wouldn't have been
able to stop Konno so quickly.
[03:50] Aoi
She was all fired up...
[03:52] Aoi
I had to crush her spirit completely.
[03:55] Tomozaki
But was that final blow really necessary?
[03:59] Tomozaki
You didn't need to use Nakamura like that.
[04:02] Tomozaki
Brandishing the tissue
cover Izumi made for him...
[04:06] Tomozaki
That's just kicking her when she's down.
[04:08] Aoi
I suppose you're right.
[04:10] Tomozaki
Then why do something so cruel?
[04:13] Aoi
Cruel?
[04:14] Aoi
When you consider what she'd done
to Hanabi, I don't find it cruel at all.
[04:19] Tomozaki
In other words... it was revenge?
[04:23] Aoi
Yes, that's right.
[04:27] Tomozaki
I see...
[04:29] Aoi
What?
[04:30] Aoi
So I get angry. Is that so surprising?
[04:33] Tomozaki
No...
[04:35] Aoi
I like righteous Hanabi,
who stays true to herself.
[04:40] Aoi
When Erika Konno started
harassing Hirabayashi,
[04:44] Aoi
Hanabi called her out—in her
own words—in front of everyone.
[04:48] Aoi
It was uncalculated. She was undaunted.
[04:52] Aoi
I thought her strength was beautiful.
[04:55] Aoi
So when Konno was trampling that for
no reason, I couldn't let it go.
[05:01] Aoi
That's why I worked to destroy
everything about that situation.
[05:05] Aoi
And why I didn't feel like
letting it just hang there.
[05:08] Aoi
That's all. What's wrong with that?
[05:11] Tomozaki
I mean...
[05:13] Tomozaki
Nothing, but—
[05:15] Aoi
Right? Then what's the problem?
[05:18] Tomozaki
Here's how I see it:
[05:20] Tomozaki
Hurting someone for no real reason,
no real gain, is just...
[05:26] Tomozaki
When it comes to how NO NAME plays the game?
[05:30] Tomozaki
It's not right.
[05:33] Aoi
Maybe so, now that you mention it.
[05:37] Aoi
Still,
[05:39] Aoi
there are some things even I can't forgive.
[05:47] Yuzu
Good morning, Tomozaki.
[05:50] Tomozaki
Hey, Izumi. Mornin'.
[05:52] Yuzu
Sure has gotten cold, huh?
[05:54] Tomozaki
That's November for you.
[05:56] Tomozaki
Oh, that reminds me...
[05:58] Tomozaki
What's been going on with
Konno and Kamimae lately?
[06:02] Yuzu
Mmm, you know... girl stuff... I guess?
[06:07] Yuzu
Outwardly, it looks like
they're getting along,
[06:10] Yuzu
but Erika and Mao both badmouth
each other behind their backs...
[06:14] Tomozaki
And in bringing them together,
you're caught in the middle.
[06:20] Yuzu
Exactly!
[06:22] Yuzu
But I figure it's something only I can fix.
[06:25] Yuzu
I'll hang in there!
[06:27] Tomozaki
Must be rough.
[06:29] Yuzu
It's better than the two of
them being all awkward.
[06:34] Yuzu
I owe Tama some big-time thanks.
[06:38] Mimimi
So tiny and cute again today, Tama!
[06:38] Yuzu
Not a lot of people could pull that off.
[06:41] Hanabi
Back off already, Minmi!
[06:41] Yuzu
I could learn something from her myself.
[06:47] Yuzu
You've got to change what you
don't like about yourself.
[06:50] Tomozaki
I think you've changed
quite a bit lately, Izumi.
[06:54] Yuzu
Yeah. I've been thinking that, too.

Mmm, I don't...
[07:51] Mimimi

[07:54] Mimimi
But I'm expecting such big

[08:56] Aoi
Who would you most want to date?
[08:59] Tomozaki

[09:01] Aoi
Or...
[09:03] Aoi
maybe you'd like to date me?
[09:07] Aoi
Tell me. Who do you like?
[09:10] Tomozaki
W-Well, uh...
[09:15] Aoi
What's wrong? You're all red.
[09:19] Tomozaki
Damn her...
[09:21] Tomozaki
Now hang on. Why's Izumi even
an option? That's not right!
[09:28] Aoi
Ah, I see. You may have
gained a level or three,

but you're eternally chaste at heart.
[09:34] Tomozaki
Mind your own business.
[09:36] Aoi
Listen, there's no rule saying you
can't go after a girl who's attached.
[09:42] Aoi
It's not like she's married.
[09:45] Tomozaki
That is true...
[09:47] Aoi
What if Yuzu broke up with Nakamura
and said she wanted to date you?
[09:53] Tomozaki
What?! But that would never happen!
[09:56] Aoi
No, it wouldn't.
[09:58] Tomozaki
Hey!
[09:59] Aoi
But what if it did? What would you do?
[10:02] Tomozaki
I mean, jeez, I don't...
[10:06] Aoi
That goes for other girls,
too—not just Yuzu.
[10:09] Aoi
If Mimimi or Hanabi or Fuka confessed
their love to you, what would you do?
[10:14] Aoi
Have you ever given it even
the slightest thought?
[10:18] Tomozaki
No, I mean, it wouldn't happen.
[10:21] Aoi
That's true...
[10:23] Aoi
But your inability to say one way or
another ties into your current situation.
[10:29] Aoi
Another what-if...
[10:31] Aoi
Let's say...
[10:34] Aoi
After school, a girl says she
has something to talk about
[10:37] Aoi
and gets you somewhere alone.
[10:40] Aoi
She's a little embarrassed, but reveals
that she's liked you for a while now.
[10:57] Aoi
Well? Are you picturing it?
[10:59] Tomozaki
Huh?!
[11:00] Aoi
Wasn't there someone you could
imagine dating? Just a little?
[11:05] Tomozaki
No—well... maybe...
[11:09] Aoi
Dating her will be the main
focus of our work going forward.
[11:14] Aoi
Oh, and ideally, there'd be two
or more of them at any time.
[11:17] Tomozaki
Two or more?! Why on earth? That's messed up!
[11:22] Aoi
Some wiggle room is crucial.
[11:25] Tomozaki
But two or more at the same time...
There has to be another way.
[11:29] Aoi
Just being able to think "I have other
girlfriends" gives you a broader perspective
[11:35] Aoi
and wiggle room for
whatever you decide to do.
[11:37] Aoi
That way you can keep a cool
head for decision-making.
[11:41] Aoi
This isn't just defense. It's offense, too.
[11:45] Aoi
In other words,
[11:46] Aoi
you throw one girl into a tizzy
by hinting at others waiting in the wings.
[11:52] Tomozaki
This is all really dark...
[11:55] Aoi
If you think that's dark,
you're only proving that
[11:57] Aoi
you're still in the
starry-eyed romantic stage.
[12:00] Tomozaki
Y-You mean it gets darker?
[12:03] Aoi
And don't forget the result of all this:
[12:06] Aoi
You'll gain confidence in yourself for
having done something that seemed so difficult.
[12:12] Tomozaki
I get it...
[12:15] Aoi
And with that...
[12:17] Aoi
Which two girls?
SIGN Small Goal: Who do you want to get closer to?
[12:18] Aoi
Who do you want to get closer to?
[12:24] Tomozaki
Can my answer wait a while?
[12:29] Aoi
If you insist.
[12:31] Aoi
But time is of the essence, so...
[12:33] Aoi
Here—I'll give you an
easy little task, too.
[12:37] Tomozaki
Pinstagram?
[12:41] Tomozaki
A woman who can do anything
would take good pictures.
SIGN 402 posts / 6085 followers / 94 following Aoi Hinami
[12:46] Tomozaki
Look at you, getting the most out of life.
[12:49] Tomozaki
Wait—
[12:50] Tomozaki
you have six thousand followers?!
[12:53] Tomozaki
That's insane...
[12:54] Aoi
Not really.
[12:56] Aoi
There's demand for it.
[12:57] Aoi
It's just what happens if you
keep posting high-quality photos.
[13:03] Aoi
I honestly didn't plan for it.
[13:06] Tomozaki
Huh...
[13:07] Aoi
We got off-track.
[13:09] Aoi
Anyway, I want you on Pinstagram.
[13:14] Tomozaki
Me on Pinsta, eh?
[13:16] Aoi
Yes. In order for you to live
a normie life here at school,
[13:21] Aoi
you need to boost your image among our class.
[13:24] Aoi
The smallest things will
shake up the hierarchy.
[13:28] Aoi
It changes based on how others see you.
[13:33] Tomozaki
Yeah, I get that.
[13:36] Aoi
So your mini-task will be
SIGN Mini-Task: Create private Pinstagram and self-promote
[13:39] Aoi
to create a private Pinstagram
account and do some self-promotion.
[13:44] Aoi
Simple enough. I'll send
you the details later.
[13:50] Tomozaki
Okay.
SIGN Here are those details. Simple, right? Pinsta Tasks: Selfie w/ Shuji & Takei
[13:57] Tomozaki
She calls this simple?
SIGN Pinsta Tasks: Selfie w/ Shuji & Takei, Takahiro in glasses, Hanabi making a face, Minami eating ramen, Selfie w/ Fuka
[14:00] Tomozaki
This is going to be incredibly hard.
[14:07] Fuka
I'm glad everything's calmed down.
[14:10] Tomozaki
Uh-huh.
[14:12] Fuka
Wasn't Hanabi amazing, though?
[14:14] Fuka
It's as if she soared over
all those walls in her way.
[14:18] Fuka
I'm sure Hanabi always
had the strength to fly.
[14:22] Fuka
She just didn't know how to use her wings.
[14:26] Tomozaki
Right.
[14:27] Tomozaki
And once you can fly, you have total freedom.
[14:31] Fuka
That's true.
[14:32] Tomozaki
Kikuchi, I need to thank you
again for all you've done.
[14:37] Tomozaki
You were a huge help.
[14:39] Fuka
S-Sure.
[14:40] Fuka
I'd be happy to help again if you need me.
[14:43] Fuka
Not that I can do very much.
[14:46] Tomozaki
Sure you can!
[14:48] Tomozaki
I might be leaning on you again someday.
[14:52] Fuka
Whatever you need.
[14:54] Tomozaki
G-Great. I'll let you know.
[14:58] Fuka
Uh-huh.
[15:00] Fuka
Still...
[15:02] Fuka
I don't know what Hinami was thinking.
[15:05] Fuka
Something felt a little... off.
[15:08] Tomozaki
"Off," huh?
[15:10] Tomozaki
So Kikuchi picked up on that, too.
[15:13] Fuka
I'm wondering why Hinami
thought to go to such lengths.
[15:18] Fuka
It really has me curious...
[15:20] Fuka
There must be something inside Hinami
that just couldn't forgive her.
[15:26] Aoi
There are some things even I can't forgive.
[15:31] Fuka
When someone's angry,
[15:33] Fuka
I think it's because the way
things are doesn't match
[15:36] Fuka
the way they think things ought to be.
[15:39] Tomozaki
How things ought to be, huh?
[15:45] Tomozaki
I wonder what that is for Hinami?
[15:50] Fuka
Oh, right!
[15:53] Fuka
There's something I'd like you
to see, if you don't mind.
[15:59] Fuka
I wrote a new novel, so,
um... if you could...
[16:03] Tomozaki
Y-Yeah, sure. Of course.
[16:07] Fuka
Okay, I'll... I'll bring it next time!
[16:13] Tomozaki
Oh!

Since Tama, Mimimi, and
Kikuchi aren't around...
SIGN Pinsta Tasks: Selfie w/Shuji & Takei, Takahiro in glasses
[16:36] Tomozaki
It'll have to be a selfie
with Nakamura and Takei
[16:39] Tomozaki
or Mizusawa wearing glasses.
[16:47] Takei
Get 'em!
[16:51] Game Announcer
Game set!
[16:53] Mizusawa
You really are good at this, Fumiya.
[16:55] Takei
Shake it off, Shuji!
[16:57] Nakamura
Tch! We're takin' a break!
[17:01] Tomozaki
Yikes!
[17:08] Tomozaki
It's hard to get the timing
right for a photo...
[17:12] Tomozaki
If I suddenly suggest a selfie,
I know they'll think it's weird.
[17:17] Tomozaki
I need some kind of excuse...
[17:19] Mizusawa
Given any thought to the
festival committee, Shuji?
[17:22] Nakamura
Oh yeah...
[17:23] Takei
You're doing it, right?
[17:25] Nakamura
Kinda have to, don't I?
[17:27] Mizusawa
Yes. What about you, Fumiya?
[17:30] Tomozaki
Huh?
[17:31] Mizusawa
The culture festival committee.
You're gonna join, right?
[17:35] Tomozaki
Eh? Uh, yeah!
[17:37] Tomozaki
Wait. Now I'm... on the committee?
[17:43] Tomozaki
I was too focused on my assignment.
[17:46] Nakamura
We oughta start heading home.
[17:48] Mizusawa
Okay.
[17:49] Takei
Homeward bound!
[17:57] Tomozaki
Damn. My photo homework...
[18:00] Tomozaki
Isn't there anything I could—
[18:04] Tomozaki
H-Hey...
[18:08] Tomozaki
L-Let's take a picture with this!
[18:11] Nakamura
Huh? That's out of the blue.
[18:14] Takei
What gives, Army Boy?
[18:16] Tomozaki
Well, uh... I was thinking
of going on Pinstagram.
[18:19] Takei
Army Boy on Pinstagram?!
Sure thing! Fire away!
[18:24] Nakamura
Well, I'm not a little kid,
so I'm heading home.
[18:27] Tomozaki
Aw, don't be like that.
C'mon! It'll be like a memento!
[18:32] Nakamura
What are you talking about?
[18:34] Mizusawa
I mean, why not?
[18:36] Mizusawa
Let's do it. You too, Shuji.
[18:38] Nakamura
You gotta be kidding...
[18:40] Nakamura
Sheesh.
[18:42] Nakamura
Hurry up already. You get one shot, pal.
[18:45] Tomozaki
O-Okay.
SIGN Sewing Room 2
[18:50] Tomozaki
The assignment was to take a
selfie with Nakamura and Takei,
[18:54] Tomozaki
but Mizusawa wound up in there, too.
[18:57] Aoi
Mmm... that doesn't bother me.
[19:00] Aoi
But this shot is blurry as all hell.
[19:03] Tomozaki
W-Well... that's because...
[19:06] Aoi
Just be mindful from now on.
[19:08] Tomozaki
O-Okay.
[19:10] Aoi
Now let's whip up one
of these babies for you.
[19:14] Tomozaki
A Pinsta account, you mean?
[19:18] Aoi
Exactly!
[19:19] Tomozaki
There it is.
[19:21] Aoi
I hate to use this blurry
thing as your account icon.
[19:24] Aoi
But it's the only one you have, right?
[19:26] Tomozaki
Y-Yeah...
SIGN Pinstagram Cancel / Open
[19:29] Aoi
While you're setting up your account,

I'll explain your additional task.

I have an additional task?
[19:37] Aoi
We'll be putting together our festival
committee today during homeroom.
SIGN Culture Festival Tasks: Join the committee
[19:42] Aoi
You'll be taking a spot on it.
[19:45] Tomozaki
Yeah, I already raised my hand for
that without you assigning it.
[19:51] Tomozaki
Yesterday, Nakamura and the guys and I
were talking about doing it together.
[19:55] Aoi
I see. You've come a long way.
[19:59] Aoi
I expect the girls' members will
be from the normie camp as well.
[20:03] Aoi
Not only will this earn you XP,
[20:07] Aoi
but seeing you all working together will
make a good impression on the class.
SIGN Pinstagram Log In
[20:14] Tomozaki
The same idea behind Pinsta.
[20:16] Aoi
Right.
[20:17] Aoi
Then use your opinions to
actively market yourself.
[20:23] Aoi
That's your new assignment.
SIGN Show maximum enthusiasm on all fronts
[20:24] Aoi
Just show the absolute greatest enthusiasm
you can muster on any and all fronts.

Got it.
[20:36] Ms. Kawamura
All right.
SIGN Culture Festival Committee Boys / Girls
[20:37] Ms. Kawamura
Time to choose our committee
members for the culture festival.
[20:40] Ms. Kawamura
We need four guys and four gals.
[20:43] Ms. Kawamura
First, the boys.
[20:45] Takei
I'll do it!
[20:49] Ms. Kawamura
Okay, for the boys,
SIGN Boys: Takei / Mizusawa / Nakamura / Tomozaki
[20:52] Ms. Kawamura

[20:57] Ms. Kawamura
Any takers?
[20:59] Mimimi
Here!
[21:00] Mimimi
Count me in!
[21:02] Ms. Kawamura
And Nanami kicks us off. Anyone else?
[21:05] Mimimi
Tama! Come create the
culture festival with me!
[21:09] Hanabi
Pass.
[21:10] Mimimi
Dang, girl! That was fast!
[21:15] Mimimi
Aoi!
[21:16] Aoi
Another pass.
[21:18] Mimimi
C'mon! Turning me down twice in
a row? I've got feelings, y'know!
[21:23] Aoi
Sorry, sorry! I just have all
this student council work.
[21:28] Mimimi
Oh, right...
[21:30] Ms. Kawamura
Too bad, Nanami.
[21:33] Ms. Kawamura
Anyone else?
[21:35] Kashiwazaki
I could do it!
[21:37] Seno
Me, too!
[21:39] Mimimi
You go, Sakura and Yuki!
[21:41] Yuzu
Um... me too.
[21:43] Mimimi
That's our Yuzu!

[21:47] Ms. Kawamura
Nanami, Kashiwazaki, Seno, and Izumi.
[21:50] Ms. Kawamura

[21:55] Tomozaki
I was to show every last drop of the
enthusiasm I had in me here on the committee.

That, and...

decide who I wanted to date.

Now we committee members were

[00:16] Tomozaki
the play we'd perform on the

Let's come up with some
ideas for our play here
[00:25] Mizusawa
and have the class pick one in homeroom.
[00:29] Yuzu
Okay.
[00:30] Nakamura
Yeah, but where do we even start?
[00:34] Takei
We gotta do Momotaro!
[00:36] Nakamura
What are you, a kindergartener?
[00:38] Takei
Aw, why not?
[00:40] Yuzu
Hmm... What about Romeo and Juliet?
[00:43] Mizusawa
Whoof, what a cliché.
[00:45] Kashiwazaki
Some kind of romantic drama, maybe!
[00:47] Seno
Like The Phantom of the Opera.

Original?

[02:41] Yuzu
Then it's official: our class will
be putting on an original play!
SIGN Plays - Romeo & Juliet (9) - Romantic Drama (8) - Phantom of the Opera (4) - Momotaro (1) - Original (12)
[02:48] Yuzu
And here's your director: Tomozaki!
SIGN Director!
[02:51] Nakamura
Remember, this is your bright idea.
[02:53] Takei
Go get 'em, Army Boy!
[02:55] Mizusawa
We're counting on you, Fumiya.
[02:56] Yuzu
You've got this!
[02:58] Tomozaki
Well, my opinion definitely did get across...
[03:01] Mimimi
Thanks in advance, Director Brain!
[03:04] Tomozaki
Y-Yeah...
[03:05] Tomozaki
So while I think about this play...
[03:08] Aoi
First, there's Yuzu.
[03:10] Aoi
Then Mimimi and Hanabi,
[03:13] Aoi
and finally Fuka.
[03:15] Aoi
Who would you most want to date?
[03:19] Tomozaki
Can I even do this?
[03:29] Takei
Man, what an exhausting day.
[03:32] Mizusawa
All those meetings didn't help.
[03:34] Mimimi
And, hey, Yuzu!
[03:36] Mimimi
You're going to be the promem leader!
[03:39] Takei
Promem?
[03:40] Takei
Hey, Army Boy—what's "promem"?
[03:43] Tomozaki
It's an abbreviation.
[03:45] Tomozaki
It stands for a culture
festival project member:
[03:48] Tomozaki
someone on the class committee
[03:50] Tomozaki
who also helps runs the
festival at the school level.
[03:53] Tomozaki
Izumi volunteered and got
named leader, remember?
[03:57] Tomozaki
Oh, right... You were asleep.
[04:01] Takei
Oh, okay, yeah!
[04:03] Tomozaki
It's crazy that you can sleep like that.
[04:06] Mimimi
Even during the sports tournament,
Yuzu would step in as captain.
[04:10] Mimimi
She's just been brimming with energy lately!
[04:14] Yuzu
Yeah, I thought I'd try
spreading my wings a little.
[04:18] Nakamura
Just don't overdo it.
[04:20] Yuzu
Thanks, Shuji.
[04:23] Mizusawa
Aw. Sweet.
[04:24] Nakamura
Shut it.
[04:27] Takei
See ya!
[04:32] Mimimi

What can I knock off my Pinsta list?
SIGN Minami Nanami eating ramen
[04:39] Tomozaki
Mimimi eating ramen... Hmm.
[04:42] Yuzu
Bye!
[04:45] Tomozaki
Mimimi and ramen... Could be
tough to get the pieces in place.
[04:51] Tomozaki
It's in these little details where
Hinami's sadism really shines.
[04:57] Mimimi
I'm so psyched for the play!
[04:59] Mimimi
How about one about basketball?
[05:01] Mimimi
Maybe where the star racks up fouls right
after the game starts and gets ejected!
[05:06] Tomozaki
Gee, sounds familiar.
[05:08] Mimimi
Good one!
[05:10] Mimimi
I had a hard time letting
go of the comedy-act option.
[05:14] Mimimi
With your quick comebacks,
we'd get all the laughs!
[05:18] Tomozaki
Please, spare me. I'm not
cut out for the stage.
[05:24] Mimimi
I guess as a brain and all, you are
better suited for brain stuff!
[05:29] Tomozaki
So my nickname means I ought to stick
to the thinking part of things?
[05:33] Mimimi
That's right! You're quick!
[05:36] Tomozaki
Well, I'm used to it by now.
[05:38] Mimimi
I guess we just really get each other...
[05:42] Mimimi
wouldn't you say?
[05:43] Tomozaki
Whoa!
[05:44] Mimimi
Oho! You're built surprisingly solid, Brain!
[05:48] Tomozaki
No, you're just really light—
[06:02] Mimimi
O-Oh, wow! That's quite
the compliment, you know!
[06:07] Mimimi
Uh... Looks like the light's green!
[06:09] Mimimi

M-Mimimi?
[06:22] Mimimi
Wh-What is it?
[06:25] Tomozaki
Um, well...
[06:30] Mimimi
Ah, to be bringing such
a young high-school girl
[06:34] Mimimi
to a place like this!
[06:36] Tomozaki
I-I was just hungry! And—
[06:39] Mimimi
I mean, so am I. I'm cool with it!
[06:42] Tomozaki
Maybe I was a little forceful
in how I made it happen...
SIGN Minami Nanami eating ramen
[06:47] Tomozaki
...but at least now I'll be able to get
that photo of Mimimi eating ramen.
[06:52] Mimimi
Okay—I'm having the gyoza combo!
[06:55] Tomozaki
Huh? Gyoza?!
[06:57] Mimimi
What about you?
[06:59] Tomozaki
Um, well...
[07:01] Tomozaki
Ramen... I guess?
[07:03] Mimimi
Okay!
[07:05] Tomozaki
I just assumed that Mimimi
would order ramen...
[07:10] Tomozaki
but this is a gyoza chain.
SIGN Manchuria Gyoza
[07:14] Mimimi
This is a pretty rare event, eh, Tomozaki?
[07:18] Tomozaki
I-I guess so. In fact, this
might be the first time
[07:23] Tomozaki
I've invited anyone to a meal after school.
[07:25] Mimimi
Wha—?
[07:27] Mimimi
Then what gave you the idea to invite me?
[07:31] Tomozaki
What gave me... the idea?
[07:34] Tomozaki
W-Well, you know... the ramen...
[07:37] Mimimi
The ramen?
[07:38] Tomozaki
Y-Yeah! I was really, really
craving some ramen—
[07:43] Mimimi
That bad, huh?
[07:45] Mimimi
You want two?
[07:46] Tomozaki
I couldn't...
[07:49] Tomozaki
And with the normie superpower "conversation
autofeed," my alibi was complete.
[07:55] Tomozaki
Thank goodness. If I'd
answered her honestly...
[08:00] Tomozaki
I wanted to have pictures on
my phone of you eating ramen!
[08:06] Mimimi
Say what?
[08:09] Tomozaki
I can just picture it.

Here you go!
[08:15] Mimimi
Let's dig in!
[08:17] Tomozaki
Yeah, let's...
[08:21] Mimimi
Mmm, yum!
[08:23] Tomozaki
Now what?
[08:24] Tomozaki
How do I get a picture
of Mimimi eating ramen?
[08:29] Mimimi
Why are you looking at
me like that, Tomozaki?
[08:32] Tomozaki
Oh... sorry. I was just...
[08:35] Tomozaki
Did... Did you want a bite of ramen?
[08:39] Mimimi
Huh?
[08:41] Mimimi
Um... one bite?
[08:43] Tomozaki
Y-Yeah... One bite...
[08:49] Tomozaki
Wh-What's wrong?
[08:52] Mimimi
Am I thinking too hard?
[08:55] Tomozaki
A-About what?
[08:59] Mimimi
Oh, nothing.
[09:02] Mimimi
Okay, lay it on me!
[09:08] Mimimi
Whoa! What's with the photo shoot?
[09:11] Tomozaki
I-I-I messed up!
[09:13] Mimimi
Messed up what?
[09:15] Tomozaki
I-I thought, uh... I thought
you were going to eat my egg...
[09:19] Mimimi
I would never!
[09:21] Mimimi
But why all the photos?
[09:23] Tomozaki
For, um... for evidence!
[09:25] Mimimi
Jeez, you're obsessed with this egg!
[09:28] Tomozaki
I-I just really like them, that's all!
[09:31] Mimimi
Honestly...
[09:33] Mimimi
Here you go. Thanks!
[09:35] Tomozaki
S-Sure.
[09:38] Mimimi
Hmm. Something's not quite right.
[09:41] Tomozaki
Like what?
[09:46] Mimimi
Hey, Tomozaki!
[09:49] Mimimi
Have some of mine. Here!
[09:53] Tomozaki
Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
[09:57] Tomozaki
What's she trying to do?
[09:59] Tomozaki
This is that, you know, that thing,
that "say aah" thing—
[10:06] Tomozaki
What's her angle? What battle is she fighting?
Why all this pressure?!
[10:10] Tomozaki
I-I don't even know how to turn her down...
[10:14] Tomozaki
F-Fine!
[10:25] Tomozaki
I didn't even get to enjoy it.
[10:29] Mimimi
Something's fishy, all right.
[10:30] Tomozaki
Huh?
[10:37] Tomozaki
What the—did I make her mad?
What did I do?
[10:41] Tomozaki
I-I have no idea...
[10:43] Tomozaki
But it'd be weird to apologize.
[10:45] Tomozaki
I don't even know what
I'd be apologizing for.
[10:49] Tomozaki
Damn, she's going to finish first!
[10:52] Tomozaki
What will it do to the mood
if I make her wait for me?
[10:55] Tomozaki
I've got to eat fast, too!
[11:02] Mimimi
Wh-Whoa, Tomozaki! What's the rush?
[11:06] Tomozaki
I-It's just that...
[11:10] Tomozaki
You were going to... finish
your gyoza first...
[11:13] Tomozaki
I didn't want to make you wait...
[11:16] Mimimi
You're one odd duck, Tomozaki!
[11:19] Mimimi
Okay, see you later!
[11:21] Tomozaki
Yep—later!
SIGN Can you only take blurry pictures or what?
[11:41] Tomozaki
You've got me there, Miss Hinami.
SIGN Make sure you're thinking about who you want to date.
SIGN Fuka Kikuchi I'll bring that novel tomorrow. Close / Show
SIGN Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki S2
[11:59] Fuka
S-Sorry for the wait.
[12:01] Tomozaki
I-It's no problem!
[12:03] Fuka
Um... here.
[12:05] Tomozaki
Thanks. I'll let you know what I think.
[12:08] Fuka
Th-This is a first for me!
[12:13] Fuka
I-I've never shown anyone my work
before, so please—go easy on me.
[12:20] Tomozaki
Y-Yes, of course. Thank you.
[12:23] Fuka
Thank you.
[12:27] Everyone
One, two, three...
[12:28] Everyone
Shoot!
[12:30] Takei
I lost again? That's four times in a row!
[12:37] Nakamura
Up to the foot of the hill, now.
[12:39] Yuzu
Sorry!
[12:41] Aoi
Thanks!
[12:43] Mizusawa
Man, four in a row...
[12:45] Mimimi
What are the odds?
[12:46] Hanabi
You suck at rock-paper-scissors, Takei.
[12:49] Tomozaki
Shake it off!
[12:51] Takei
Damn it!
[12:52] Takei
I'll win next time—you'll see!
[12:54] Mimimi
Ooh, a race! I've got this in the bag!
[12:58] Nakamura
Hey, wait!
[12:59] Yuzu
Huh? We're running now?!
[13:07] Hanabi
Everyone's so full of energy.
[13:08] Aoi
Okay—
[13:10] Aoi
here I go!
[13:14] Tomozaki
That look just now...
[13:17] Tomozaki
That meant, "Here's your chance. Check
off another one while you can."
SIGN Hanabi Hirabayashi making a face
[13:27] Tomozaki
Hey, Tama...
[13:30] Hanabi
Hmm? What's up?
[13:31] Tomozaki
Can I ask you a favor?
[13:34] Tomozaki
Tama's always so straightforward—
[13:37] Tomozaki
best to just put it all right out there.
[13:40] Tomozaki
I just started a Pinsta account,
[13:42] Tomozaki
and I'd like to put a picture
of you making a face on there.
[13:46] Tomozaki
Would you mind?
[13:47] Hanabi
Well, this is sudden.
[13:49] Tomozaki
I thought it might be a fun,
different thing to post.
[13:52] Hanabi
Hmm... sure, I guess. Here!
[13:56] Tomozaki
Wow, th-that was quick...
[14:00] Hanabi
Take the picture already!
[14:02] Tomozaki
O-Oh, right!
[14:05] Hanabi
Okay, now one with you.
[14:07] Tomozaki
Huh?
[14:09] Hanabi
Hurry up!
[14:10] Tomozaki
A-All right...
[14:13] Hanabi
Hmm... It's not all that great, is it?
[14:18] Tomozaki
Huh?
[14:20] Tomozaki
When I sent it to Hinami later,
[14:23] Tomozaki
she finally gave me the barest minimum
of praise: "Well, it's in focus."
SIGN Tomozaki
[14:35] Tomozaki
The manuscript Kikuchi had given me
[14:38] Tomozaki
was a collection of five short stories,
loosely connected by shared themes.
SIGN 0.8-Carat Pain Lugor and the Giant Stone The Moon's Not Reflected in His Eyes Clockwork Birthday
[14:43] Tomozaki
Every one of the stories she
wrote was gentle and warm.
[14:50] Tomozaki
Huh?
SIGN My Unfamiliar Way to Fly
[14:52] Tomozaki
Is that where it ends?
[14:59] Tomozaki
I never thought the father
would show up at the end!
[15:03] Fuka
Oh, that!
[15:05] Fuka
It came to me after I was done—
I changed it.
[15:08] Fuka
I figured it would be a
weight off Wolfin's mind.
[15:12] Tomozaki
Yeah!
[15:13] Tomozaki
Oh, and I liked how the beast-person
Lugor didn't break the rock—
[15:17] Tomozaki
Mita the human did!
[15:20] Tomozaki
Like he was using brains, not brawn,
[15:22] Tomozaki
to pierce the wall between their species.
[15:24] Fuka
I'm so happy you understood all of that...
[15:28] Tomozaki
Oh, actually, that last story cut
off halfway through. Was that—
[15:34] Fuka
Huh? You mean... the dragon story?
[15:37] Tomozaki
Yeah, the dragon story.
[15:44] Fuka
My mistake! I-I'm so sorry!
[15:47] Tomozaki
Mistake?
[15:49] Fuka
That one's not finished yet.
[15:52] Fuka
I write everything in the
same file, you see, so...
[15:55] Fuka
It must have gotten printed
along with the rest.
[16:00] Tomozaki
Ah, I see.
[16:02] Tomozaki
That one made the biggest
impression on me, though—
SIGN My Unfamiliar Way to Fly
[16:06] Tomozaki
a tale of raising the last dragon.
[16:10] Tomozaki
It's as if the characters really came
alive in my head while I was reading it.
[16:17] Tomozaki
You know... it's like what you
said before, about Andi's books.
[16:23] Fuka
What I said?
[16:25] Tomozaki
Uh-huh.
[16:25] Tomozaki
That when you're reading, the book's
world blinks right into your head as is.
[16:29] Tomozaki
When I was reading that story,
[16:32] Tomozaki
the world it described hit
me as so real, so colorful.
[16:39] Tomozaki
That last story in particular
[16:41] Tomozaki
made me feel like I do when
I read Andi's novels...
[16:45] Tomozaki
Or something like that.
[16:47] Tomozaki
K-Kikuchi?!
[16:50] Fuka
Oh, um, I... I'm sorry.
[16:53] Tomozaki
Wh-What's wrong?
[16:57] Fuka
I've loved Andi's work all this time,
[17:00] Fuka
and I've always wanted to
write something similar.
[17:06] Fuka
Really... always.
[17:08] Fuka
I know I'm still just starting out and all,
[17:12] Fuka
but to hear that from you,
after you read my work...
[17:17] Fuka
It just makes me so happy.
[17:20] Tomozaki
I see...
[17:23] Tomozaki
Hey, Kikuchi?
[17:24] Fuka
Yes?
[17:26] Tomozaki
Why don't you use this last
story to write our class play?
[17:33] Tomozaki
I'd love to see the whole class
performing something you wrote.
[17:40] Fuka
But I...
[17:42] Tomozaki
Sorry! You don't have to.
[17:46] Fuka
I'm scared.
[17:49] Fuka
That last story...
[17:51] Fuka
It was coming along so
smoothly when I started,
[17:54] Fuka
and I came to love each and
every one of its characters.
[18:00] Fuka
It became one of my favorite stories.
It means the world to me.
[18:05] Fuka
But that's why I'm having
such a hard time deciding
[18:09] Fuka
what conclusion this beloved story,
these dear characters,
[18:14] Fuka
should reach in the end.
[18:16] Fuka
And that's why I couldn't write an ending.
[18:20] Tomozaki
Oh... is that why...
[18:22] Fuka
It's all so precious, I'm afraid it'll break.
[18:26] Tomozaki
I see. Then this story might be
better off staying inside you,
[18:30] Tomozaki
where it can be nurtured carefully over time.
[18:34] Fuka
Or that's what I would have said,
not too long ago.
[18:39] Tomozaki
Huh? Then...
[18:47] Yuzu
Okay!
[18:48] Yuzu
How's the play coming along?
[18:51] Yuzu
Any original stories we can use?
[18:54] Tomozaki
If I could?
SIGN My Unfamiliar Way to Fly
[18:56] Tomozaki
I'm wondering if we could use this as a base,
[18:59] Tomozaki
discussing it together, choosing roles,
and tweaking as we go.
[19:03] Nakamura
Hmm. Can't say I really get it,
but it has, like, actual sentences.
[19:09] Seno
It's a fantasy story.
[19:10] Kashiwazaki
Could be fun!
[19:12] Mimimi
That's our Brain! Taking care of business!
[19:15] Mizusawa
Hey, Fumiya...
[19:17] Mizusawa
did you write this?
[19:19] Takei
Army Boy? Seriously?
[19:21] Tomozaki
No, Kikuchi did.
[19:24] Mizusawa
Huh! I see how it is.
[19:27] Tomozaki
Wh-What's that supposed to mean?
[19:33] Fuka
I-I'm still working on the second half.
[19:37] Fuka
Thanks for your patience!
[19:43] Fuka
I've always been afraid
to leave my own world.
[19:48] Fuka
But with all our conversations recently...
[19:53] Fuka
I'm watching you go before me,
leaping from a lonely world
[19:59] Fuka
to one that's still unknown.
[20:01] Fuka
And it occurred to me:
[20:02] Fuka
I'd like to see that world, too.
SIGN Our Original Play "My Unfamiliar Way to Fly"
[20:13] Kashiwazaki
Then we're all set!
[20:15] Seno
Kikuchi, could you write up a quick
synopsis before our next meeting?
[20:20] Fuka
Y-Yes, that should be fine.
[20:23] Mizusawa
Okay. Then we can start
assigning roles, right?
[20:27] Yuzu
Yeah!
[20:29] Takei
All right! I'll take the lead!
[20:31] Nakamura
Takei!
[20:33] Nakamura
Literally anyone but you.
[20:48] Tomozaki
Things were looking good
for the culture festival.
[20:52] Tomozaki
Now to tackle Hinami's tasks—
SIGN Takahiro Mizusawa in glasses
[20:55] Mizusawa
Something on your mind?
[20:56] Tomozaki
Whoa!
[20:58] Tomozaki
M-Mizusawa?!
[20:59] Mizusawa
Man, you really are more
than you seem, Fumiya.
[21:04] Tomozaki
Huh? What do you mean?
[21:07] Mizusawa
Hmm... You don't need to know.
SIGN Takahiro Mizusawa in glasses
[21:12] Tomozaki
"Mizusawa in glasses," eh?
[21:15] Tomozaki
H-Hey, Mizusawa. Are you free
tomorrow or the day after?
[21:19] Mizusawa
What's this about? Rare for you to ask.
[21:22] Tomozaki
I-I guess so. I'd like to get out somewhere.
[21:26] Mizusawa
Hmm... Does that mean you're free tomorrow?
[21:31] Tomozaki
Yeah.
[21:33] Mizusawa
Perfect. We'll go to a culture festival.
[21:36] Tomozaki
A culture festival?
[21:39] Mizusawa
At Gumi's high school.
[21:42] Mizusawa
It's invitation-only,
[21:46] Mizusawa
but I managed to score two tickets.
[21:48] Mizusawa
We can scope out another school's
festival while we're at it.
[21:52] Tomozaki
Oh, okay. Sure thing.
[21:54] Mizusawa
Incidentally, Gumi goes
to an all-girls school.
[21:58] Tomozaki
Huh? All... girls?
[22:01] Mizusawa
Yep: all girls!
[22:04] Tomozaki
All... girls...

[00:12] Tomozaki

Well, I made it on an outing
with Mizusawa. But now...
[00:19] Tomozaki
Now to tackle Hinami's tasks.
SIGN 2nd Stage: Lv. 8 Sometimes the main character can't enter the village of another species on his own
[01:58] Mizusawa
Okay, first we do some flirting.
[02:00] Tomozaki
Huh?! What about scoping out their festival?
[02:03] Mizusawa
That's what we say we're here for.
[02:05] Mizusawa
But if two guys come to an
all-girls school festival,
[02:08] Mizusawa
there's really only one reason.
[02:10] Tomozaki
Are you serious?
[02:12] Tomozaki
But jeez, I'm not sure I can just...
[02:16] Tomozaki
Wait—Mizusawa?!
[02:18] Mizusawa
Hi there!
[02:20] Mizusawa
What's that? Looks delish.
[02:21] Mizusawa
Did you bring that from home?
[02:23] Mizusawa
That was fast! Extroverts
are something else...
[02:27] Mako
Nope! We bought them here.
[02:30] Mizusawa
Oh, yeah? I thought you two were
just super into cotton candy.
[02:35] Sayaka
What the heck?
[02:35] Mizusawa
You know, since you both liked
it enough to bring your own.
[02:38] Sayaka
C'mon, as if!
[02:41] Mizusawa
Hey, can I have a bite?
[02:43] Sayaka
No, I don't think so.
[02:45] Mizusawa
Oh, I wasn't asking you. I
was asking this girl here.
[02:49] Sayaka
Meanie!
[02:50] Mizusawa
You'll give me a bite, won't you?
[02:52] Mako
Well, I guess...
[02:56] Mizusawa
Whoa! It tastes just like cotton candy!
[02:59] Sayaka
That's because it is cotton candy.
[03:01] Mako
Hey, what are you doing here, anyway?
[03:03] Sayaka
Did you come alone?
[03:05] Mizusawa
Actually, I got separated from my friend.
[03:08] Mizusawa
Let me know if you see him, okay?
[03:11] Sayaka
We don't know what he looks like.
[03:13] Mizusawa
Oh! I'll send you a picture, then.
[03:15] Mizusawa
And tell me if you see him.
[03:17] Mizusawa
How should we be in touch? By snail mail?
[03:19] Mako
That makes no sense!
[03:21] Mizusawa
Right, right. Then we'll do this.
[03:24] Sayaka
Um...
[03:25] Mako
What do you think?
[03:26] Mizusawa
So it's snail mail after all?
[03:27] Sayaka
No, that's kind of a hassle.
[03:30] Mizusawa
It is, yeah. And I don't
want to share my address.
[03:34] Mizusawa
So what do we do?
[03:36] Mako
I guess Litter would work.
[03:38] Mako
Better than snail mail!
[03:39] Mizusawa
Okay!
[03:41] Sayaka
You're really slick, you know that?
[03:43] Mizusawa
No, no! I'm just worried
about my poor lost friend.
[03:47] Mako
Oh, of course.
[03:49] Mizusawa
Later!
[03:50] Mako
Hope you find your friend!
[03:55] Mizusawa
Well?
[03:57] Mizusawa
What's my score?
[03:59] Tomozaki
A perfect hundred.
[04:03] Mizusawa
I mean, it all starts by
striking up that conversation.
[04:07] Mizusawa
That opening line isn't about what
you say—it's how you say it.
[04:12] Tomozaki
How I say it...
[04:14] Tomozaki
According to Mizusawa, it went like this:
[04:17] Tomozaki
When a stranger suddenly
starts talking to someone
[04:20] Tomozaki
who's not mentally prepared for it,
[04:22] Tomozaki
that person won't be in listening mode.
[04:25] Tomozaki
But after they acknowledge you and
you can hold onto their awareness,
[04:29] Tomozaki
you've got your first conversation.
[04:31] Tomozaki
Once that's underway,
just talk about whatever.
[04:36] Tomozaki
You can ask questions—anything at all.
[04:38] Tomozaki
And like with the cotton candy earlier,
[04:39] Tomozaki
it's easy to get a response if you touch
on something they have with them...
[04:43] Tomozaki
if you're quick enough about it.
[04:45] Tomozaki
You know, I did some pretty similar stuff
[04:48] Tomozaki
as part of Hinami's assignments...
SIGN Ramen
[04:54] Tomozaki
Hey, uh...
[04:55] Tomozaki
You like Hinami, right?
[04:58] Mizusawa
Aoi? Yeah, I like her.
[05:01] Mizusawa
What about it?
[05:03] Tomozaki
I just... Here you are
chatting up other girls...
[05:07] Mizusawa
Aha. It's not like Aoi and
I are dating at the moment.
[05:12] Tomozaki
I-I know, but, like...
[05:15] Tomozaki
I kind of feel like it's not sincere.
[05:18] Mizusawa
Sincere, eh?
[05:20] Mizusawa
Tell me, Fumiya,
[05:22] Mizusawa
what do you think makes a guy attractive?
[05:25] Tomozaki
L-Let's see...
[05:26] Tomozaki
He keeps himself presentable,
plays it cool... what else?
[05:31] Tomozaki
He's good at taking the lead
in conversation... Like that?
[05:35] Mizusawa
Hey, three right answers! Nice.
[05:38] Mizusawa
But you know what?
[05:39] Mizusawa
The most essential aspect,
more than anything else...
[05:44] Mizusawa
Attractive guys attract people.
[05:47] Tomozaki
Huh?
SIGN Sewing Club
[05:49] Mizusawa
If a guy's reasonably
presentable and attractive,
SIGN Love Fortunes
[05:53] Mizusawa
staying cool will come naturally.
[05:55] Mizusawa
If he's attractive,
SIGN Ring Toss
[05:56] Mizusawa
girls will feel like they have to act
fast before someone else snaps him up.
[06:01] Mizusawa
That's how being attractive winds
up making you even more attractive.
[06:04] Mizusawa
It's a hotness spiral.
[06:07] Mizusawa
So I'm raising my value out
there and playing it cool...
[06:13] Mizusawa
until I eventually get Aoi interested in me.
[06:16] Tomozaki
I get it now!
[06:17] Tomozaki
Basically you're flirting with all these
girls to boost your attractiveness
[06:21] Tomozaki
so that Hinami will decide to notice you.
[06:24] Mizusawa
Not exactly.
[06:27] Mizusawa
I'm also playing the field because
I want to. That's a big part of it.
[06:30] Tomozaki
Hey!
[06:32] Mizusawa
Oh, and one more correction:
[06:35] Mizusawa
Aoi won't decide to notice me.
[06:37] Mizusawa
I'll make her notice me. Right?
[06:39] Tomozaki
Y-Yeah...

These aren't antennae. They're ears!

Come see our ghosts.
[07:12] Gumi
They're not exactly scary or anything.
[07:14] Tomozaki
I wouldn't go around advertising that...
[07:16] Gumi
Right?
[07:18] Gumi
How's it going? See any cute girls?
[07:22] Tomozaki
Huh?!
[07:22] Mizusawa
Hey, why do you assume we're
out here hitting on girls?
[07:26] Gumi
I mean, two guys at a
girls' school festival...
[07:28] Gumi
why else would you be here?
[07:30] Mizusawa
Eh, I'd say it's going so-so.
[07:32] Gumi
See? I knew it!
[07:34] Gumi
What about you, Tomozaki?
[07:35] Tomozaki
Me? I'm not hitting on anybody.
[07:38] Gumi
You don't have a girlfriend, do you?
[07:42] Gumi
Check out my class! This is your big chance.

Yeah, okay.

[08:12] Tomozaki
When did he learn their names?!
[08:15] Mizusawa
Did you check out the haunted house?
[08:16] Mako
Oh, from Tsugumi's class?
[08:18] Sayaka
No, not yet.
[08:20] Mizusawa
You definitely should go.
It's terrifyingly unscary.
[08:24] Mako
But a haunted house has to be scary!
[08:27] Mizusawa
You can totally see all the ghosts, too.
[08:29] Tomozaki
Okay, now to pull a Mizusawa...
[08:33] Tomozaki
I-It's seriously not scary.
[08:35] Mako
Wow, really?
[08:37] Tomozaki
Y-Yeah! It's... surprising, actually.
[08:40] Sayaka
Surprising, huh?
[08:46] Tomozaki
I guess I'm not ready for this yet.
[08:48] Mizusawa
Whoa!
[08:49] Mizusawa
I bet those look amazing on you, Mako.
[08:52] Mizusawa
Put them on for a sec.
[08:53] Mako
Huh?
[08:54] Mizusawa
Oh, yeah! So flattering!
[08:57] Mako
Some compliment...
[08:59] Mizusawa
Were those some kind of prize?
[09:01] Sayaka
Yeah, from the ring toss.
[09:02] Mako
These, too.
[09:07] Tomozaki
Those glasses would look pretty
killer on you, too, Mizusawa.
[09:15] Mizusawa
Well?
[09:17] Mako
They really suit you!
[09:19] Mizusawa
There's that non-compliment again...
[09:21] Tomozaki
They really do look good, Mizusawa!
[09:24] Tomozaki
Why don't I take a picture?
[09:25] Mizusawa
Hey, good idea! Will you do the honors?
[09:28] Mizusawa
Get in here, you two.
[09:32] Mako
You player!
[09:33] Mizusawa
Can we put it on Pinsta?
[09:35] Mizusawa
He's been getting into that lately.
[09:38] Mako
Well...
[09:39] Sayaka
Sure, I guess.
[09:41] Tomozaki
Okay, here goes!
[09:43] Mizusawa
Cheese!
[09:44] Mako
Ready!
[09:49] Tomozaki
Those count as glasses, right? Good.

Your current level, huh?
[10:04] Mizusawa
Don't be so down on yourself.
[10:07] Mizusawa
You've been reading self-help
books or something, right?
[10:10] Mizusawa
Well, it shows.
[10:13] Mizusawa
You didn't realize?
[10:15] Mizusawa
You've been asking more questions
lately—specific ones.
[10:22] Mizusawa
Oh, and you found a good rhythm
that makes you easy to talk to.
[10:26] Tomozaki
R-Really?
[10:27] Mizusawa
Yes, really.
[10:28] Tomozaki
Huh.
[10:30] Mizusawa
For someone so awkward to
come so far so quickly...
[10:35] Mizusawa
You must have worked hard,
tackling one thing at a time.
[10:43] Mizusawa
You can try to hide it, but
I can see right through you.
[10:47] Mizusawa
You've gotta admire a hard worker like that.
[10:51] Tomozaki
I...
[10:52] Tomozaki
Well, thanks.
[10:54] Mizusawa
That feeling, right there...
[10:56] Mizusawa
when someone says those things to you?
[10:59] Mizusawa
That's how you talk to a girl.
[11:02] Tomozaki
Why, you...
[11:05] Mizusawa
Later, Fumiya.
[11:07] Tomozaki
Even if Mizusawa's last speech

About how much time will we have to perform?
[11:58] Tomozaki
Good question. I'll have to check.

Yes, please do. I'll need to adjust
things with that time in mind.

If I need to make it shorter,

Still, I didn't think you'd suggest
performing a play with Fuka's script.

I would have wanted to do that even

to your goals, anything goes.

You're so invested in getting

[14:27] Aoi
You were all, "You can't change

[15:38] Mimimi
doing a comedy bit at the culture festival.
[15:41] Tomozaki

[16:56] Tomozaki
Wow, she is?
[16:59] Mimimi
Gumi?
[17:03] Tomozaki
You'll need to rewrite your
short story into a script,
[17:08] Tomozaki
but you're still having a
hard time with the climax?
[17:11] Fuka
Y-Yes.
[17:14] Tomozaki
Um... what exactly is giving you trouble?
[17:18] Fuka
I can't decide if Libra, the hero,
will wind up with Kris or Alucia...
[17:25] Fuka
and what should happen to
the one he doesn't choose.
[17:29] Fuka
I think I might be... afraid
to make that decision.
[17:36] Fuka
Afraid of dictating that the relationship
among the three should go one particular way.
[17:42] Tomozaki
In that case—
[17:45] Tomozaki
and this may just be my thinking here—
[17:49] Tomozaki
which of the two would you
choose, if it were up to you?
[17:54] Fuka
I don't think I could choose.
[17:58] Tomozaki
No?
[17:59] Fuka
Maybe I personally have
an idea of what I'd do.
[18:05] Fuka
But what should I do as
far as the story goes?
SIGN My Unfamiliar Way to Fly

let my feelings get in the way.
[18:26] Tomozaki
Hmm...
[18:32] Tomozaki
Um, Tomozaki?
[18:35] Tomozaki
Isn't there someone that you like?
[18:41] Tomozaki
M-M-Me?
[18:43] Tomozaki
Yes. You.
[18:45] Tomozaki
I-I... well... good question.
[18:51] Tomozaki
If you had two or more
special people in your life,
[18:56] Tomozaki
and you could only choose one of them...
[19:01] Tomozaki
How would you choose that one person?
[19:09] Tomozaki
Probably, if I'm being honest...
[19:12] Fuka
Yes?
[19:14] Tomozaki
I think I'm...
[19:16] Tomozaki
I'm not in a position to make
that choice in the first place.
[19:23] Tomozaki
Right. That's how I truly feel.
[19:27] Tomozaki
Hinami keeps grilling me about who I choose,
[19:31] Tomozaki
even coming up with that hypothetical
about girls confessing their love.
[19:35] Tomozaki
But I've kept putting my answer on hold.
[19:39] Tomozaki
Because deep inside, that's how I feel.
[19:43] Tomozaki
For 17 years, this bottom-tier nature
has been ingrained deep in my soul.
[19:48] Tomozaki
I'm not the one who gets chosen, much
less the one who gets to choose.
[19:55] Tomozaki
When Hinami gave me that
confession hypothetical,
[19:57] Tomozaki
what governed my mind in that moment
[20:00] Tomozaki
was an indescribable remorse,
a sense of guilt...
[20:04] Tomozaki
"A bottom-tier character like you,
choosing? Don't get so cocky."
[20:09] Tomozaki
In other words, an underlying
feeling of incompetence
[20:12] Tomozaki
controlling my thoughts in this game of life.
[20:16] Tomozaki
And it had nested deep within me.
[20:21] Fuka
I see.
[20:23] Tomozaki
Mmm.
[20:25] Tomozaki
So I find this kind of
stuff hard to talk about.
[20:30] Tomozaki
I'm really sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
[20:59] Mimimi
Brain!
[21:02] Tomozaki
Mimimi? Don't scare me like that!
[21:04] Mimimi
Your fault for being wide open.
[21:07] Tomozaki
Says who?
[21:08] Mimimi
Still at it at this hour, eh?
[21:10] Mimimi
Did you have a little
one-on-one with Kikuchi, hmm?
[21:14] Tomozaki
Uh... I guess so.
[21:28] Tomozaki
Okay, see you.
[21:30] Mimimi
By the way, Mr. Tomozaki...
[21:31] Tomozaki
Wh-What now?
[21:33] Mimimi
Who on earth is this Gumi person?
[21:37] Tomozaki
Oh, she's this girl who
works with me and Mizusawa.
[21:40] Mimimi
Really? Is that all she is?
[21:43] Mimimi
Seems pretty fishy to me!
[21:45] Mimimi
My sources tell me you went
to her culture festival.
[21:50] Tomozaki
Y-Yeah, because she invited us.
[21:52] Mimimi
That's fishy, all right! She
goes to an all-girls school!
[21:56] Tomozaki
What's that got to do with it?
[21:59] Mimimi
It's just, you know...
[22:01] Mimimi
You don't seem like the
going-to-festivals-at-girls'-schools type.
[22:06] Tomozaki
Like they'd arrest me if I
went into a girls' school?
[22:09] Mimimi
Oh, man, not this again...
[22:12] Tomozaki
"This" what, exactly?
[22:14] Mimimi
Never mind!
[22:17] Mimimi
You know, when you're cool, you're
cool, but when you're not... wow.
[22:23] Tomozaki
Y-Yeah?
[22:25] Tomozaki
Wait, are you saying I'm cool sometimes?
[22:27] Mimimi
You are!
[22:28] Mimimi
You're helpful in so many ways, you
did so much for Tama—all that stuff!
[22:33] Tomozaki
Oh.
[22:36] Mimimi
I respect you, Brain, you know that?
[22:39] Tomozaki
Huh?
[22:40] Mimimi
I've told you you're like Tama, right?
[22:43] Mimimi
A scaredy-cat, sure, but
you'll still go all-out,
[22:46] Mimimi
and you head straight
for what you want to do.
[22:51] Mimimi
It's like...
[22:52] Mimimi
You just go ahead and do all these
things I want to do, but can't.
[22:58] Mimimi
I think that's really wonderful.
[23:01] Mimimi
And that right there?
[23:05] Mimimi
That's what I like about you.
[23:12] Mimimi
You thought I meant I liked you
that way just now, didn't you!
[23:16] Tomozaki
N-No... Jeez.
[23:19] Mimimi
I actually do, though...
like you that way.
[23:28] Mimimi
See ya!

Dumped? No, not dumped...
[02:28] Mizusawa

Whoa, seriously? Mimimi?
[02:56] Mizusawa
Hmm.
[02:57] Mizusawa
I see.
[03:00] Mizusawa
So what's got you confused?
[03:02] Tomozaki
I don't even know if it counts
as a confession, for one.
[03:07] Mizusawa
It's hard to say.
[03:10] Mizusawa
Could be a confession, or
she could be playing games.
[03:14] Tomozaki
Games...
[03:16] Mizusawa
If you want to continue the

[03:38] Mizusawa
But yeah, I can see why

[03:42] Mizusawa
What's that mean?
[03:44] Mizusawa
Remember? Attractive guys attract people.

there are plenty of other options...
[04:02] Mizusawa
Listen.
[04:04] Mizusawa
When are you going to quit
with that masochistic crap?
[04:07] Mizusawa
You're just wielding your
weakness as an excuse
[04:10] Mizusawa
so you don't have to acknowledge
anyone's expectations or goodwill,
[04:14] Mizusawa
and it's a terrible habit.
[04:16] Mizusawa
Haven't you noticed?
[04:18] Mizusawa
Whenever you're putting yourself
down, you look almost relieved.
[04:24] Mizusawa
Don't do that.
[04:27] Mizusawa
A truly cool guy is only relieved
[04:30] Mizusawa
after raising the bar for himself,
then eagerly putting in the work
[04:35] Mizusawa
to be able to clear it.
[04:38] Mizusawa
I mean, honestly, you're free
to keep denigrating yourself.
[04:42] Mizusawa
I don't care either way.
[04:43] Mizusawa
But when you put yourself down,
[04:47] Mizusawa
it upsets the people who like you.
[04:59] Tomozaki
I guess I am an undisputed bottom-tier
character in this game called life.
[05:04] Tomozaki
I go on about truth and sincerity while
using my own weakness as an excuse,
[05:09] Tomozaki
shutting down my thoughts with "No one
would ever choose the likes of me."
[05:13] Tomozaki
But maybe I knew that, somewhere deep down.
[05:18] Tomozaki
Maybe I was just pretending not to notice.
[05:21] Tomozaki
Which is exactly why I'm
going to voice this truth

S-Stop it. I was doing fine
till you said something.
[06:04] Aoi
Well, if we look at it analytically...
[06:07] Aoi
It's when reliance, lust, possessiveness,
and interest coincide.
[06:13] Aoi
Precisely speaking, it would be an emotion
[06:17] Aoi
made up of a combination of these factors.
[06:19] Tomozaki
No, I mean in a more individual way.
[06:23] Tomozaki
Something like... who do I like?
[06:27] Tomozaki
How do I even know how to tell?
[06:33] Aoi
Are you still going on about that?
[06:35] Tomozaki
I do want to make up my mind,
[06:38] Tomozaki
but I can't yet. Or something.
[06:41] Aoi
See, this is why you need to
choose two or more people.
[06:46] Aoi
You honestly can't decide, yet you're
compelled to narrow it down to just one.
[06:51] Aoi
Isn't that much more insincere?
[06:56] Aoi
Or perhaps there's not a single
girl you're vaguely interested in?
[07:02] Tomozaki
No... that's not it...
[07:05] Aoi
I'm not telling you to run out
there and declare your love.
[07:09] Aoi
You don't even have to be certain about it.
[07:12] Aoi
Just decide who you'd like to become
closer to from now on. That's all.
SIGN Small Goal: Who do you want to get closer to?
[07:19] Tomozaki
Got it.
[07:21] Tomozaki
The girls I'm interested in
[07:24] Tomozaki
are Mimimi and Kikuchi.
[07:29] Aoi
An extremely appropriate answer, given
all your hesitation. What a letdown.
SIGN Small Goal: CLEAR! Who do you want to get closer to? Mimimi / Kikuchi
[07:36] Tomozaki
Oh, hush.
[07:38] Aoi
Okay, so starting today,
[07:40] Aoi
you'll get closer to them
on the premise of building
[07:43] Aoi
a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
[07:46] Tomozaki
Boyfriend... girlfriend...
[07:48] Aoi
Picture this:
[07:50] Aoi
Mimimi comes to your room,
[07:53] Aoi
and the two of you sit on your bed, alone.
[07:55] Aoi
A lot of words are exchanged,
[07:57] Aoi
your fingers are entwined...
[08:01] Aoi
Or you're with Fuka,
[08:03] Aoi
and a lot of words are exchanged,
[08:05] Aoi
your fingers are entwined...
[08:09] Aoi
Okay!
[08:11] Aoi
Looks like you got it.
[08:13] Tomozaki
Damn her...
[08:15] Aoi
Now, first up, your new goal:
SIGN New Goal: Decide which one you like
[08:19] Aoi
Decide which one you like.
[08:22] Aoi
Once you have that answer,
[08:24] Aoi
work on conveying your feelings to her.
[08:27] Aoi
Your small goal will be...
SIGN Small Goal: Complete event map (before culture festival)
[08:29] Aoi
to complete a normie romance event
map before the culture festival.
[08:35] Tomozaki
An event map?
SIGN Minami Nanami Route - Event 1 - Event 2 - Event 3 Fuka Kikuchi Route - Event 1 - Event 2 - Event 3
[08:38] Tomozaki
Like in a dating sim?
[08:43] Aoi
Hexactly!
[08:45] Aoi
And if you ultimately confess your
feelings to her and start dating,
SIGN Medium Goal: Have a girlfriend before starting year 3
[08:49] Aoi
you'll have met your medium goal.
[08:52] Tomozaki
Now hang on a second...
[08:53] Aoi
What is it?
[08:55] Mizusawa
I don't want to make confession a goal.
[08:58] Mizusawa
If I'm going to tell a girl how I feel,
[09:00] Mizusawa
it can't be for some goal or task...
[09:05] Mizusawa
it's got to be because I,
myself, want to tell her.
[09:10] Aoi
What? Are you saying that the
process is what matters here,
[09:14] Aoi
regardless of the outcome?
[09:17] Aoi
nanashi is saying this?
[09:19] Tomozaki
I do think the outcome is important, too.
[09:23] Aoi
Right? Then who cares?
[09:26] Tomozaki
nanashi's play style is all about valuing
both the process and the result.
[09:30] Tomozaki
That's how I got to be
Japan's top-ranked player.
[09:33] Tomozaki
I mean,
[09:35] Tomozaki
it's got to be more efficient to
fight that way IRL, too, right?
[09:40] Aoi
Well, if you insist, I guess, sure.
[09:45] Aoi
Okay, next we'll go into more
detail on the event map.
SIGN Small Goal: Complete event map (before culture festival)
[09:49] Tomozaki
Right.
[09:50] Aoi
I've just sent you three
events you'll need to clear.
[09:56] Aoi
First up:
SIGN Discuss what you're looking for in a dating partner
[09:58] Aoi
Discuss what you're looking
for in a dating partner.
[10:02] Tomozaki
Th-That's pretty direct...
[10:04] Aoi
Second:
SIGN Touch each others' hands on purpose for at least 5 seconds straight
[10:05] Aoi
Touch each others' hands on purpose
for at least 5 seconds straight.
[10:09] Tomozaki
Wh-What?!
[10:11] Aoi
Third:
SIGN Wear matching accessories just for you two
[10:12] Aoi
Wear matching accessories, just for you two.
[10:15] Tomozaki
Wait wait wait!
Aren't these all incredibly hard?!
[10:22] Aoi
They are. But you can do it.
[10:25] Tomozaki
Eh?
[10:26] Aoi
After all, you've managed to
complete almost every task so far.
[10:31] Aoi
Isn't that right?
[10:46] Tomozaki
Here goes.
[10:50] Mimimi
This new cheese curry on
the school lunch menu...
[10:53] Mimimi
pulling some strings as
student council prez, I see!
[10:56] Aoi
Who, me? No way!
[10:58] Mimimi
Are you sure?
[11:09] Tomozaki
Wh-What's going on?
[11:11] Aoi
What's wrong, Mimimi?
[11:14] Tomozaki
Damn. Now Hinami will see that
Mimimi's acting weird, too.
[11:27] Tomozaki
Mizusawa said we could always
just carry on as we always had,
[11:32] Tomozaki
but that's looking unlikely.
SIGN Did something happen with Mimimi? Nothing in particular
SIGN Ah. Well, as long as you're getting through those tasks of yours
[11:50] Tomozaki
First, what we're looking for in a partner...
SIGN Discuss what you're looking for in a dating partner
[11:56] Fuka
Sorry I'm late.
[11:57] Tomozaki
Whoa!
[11:59] Fuka
I-I'm sorry.
[12:01] Fuka
Did I startle you?
[12:03] Tomozaki
Oh, no... you're fine.
SIGN My Unfamiliar Way to Fly First Draft
[12:08] Tomozaki
Oh, wow!
[12:10] Tomozaki
It's like a real script!
[12:13] Fuka
Isn't it?
[12:15] Tomozaki
That was fast, though. You're done already?
[12:18] Fuka
Um, I still haven't figured
out the second half.
[12:23] Tomozaki
Oh, no?
[12:25] Fuka
But it's kind of fun, somehow.
[12:29] Fuka
I get so excited when I picture these
characters coming to life on stage.
[12:34] Fuka
And a little nervous, too.
[12:37] Tomozaki
I get it.
[12:39] Tomozaki
All those people watching
the festival stage...
[12:44] Tomozaki
Okay, I'll give this a read-through
[12:48] Tomozaki
and we'll met up again after school.
[12:50] Fuka
Thanks in advance.
[12:52] Tomozaki
Oh, um, a-actually...
[12:55] Fuka
Yes? What is it?
[12:56] Tomozaki
Well, uh...
[13:00] Fuka
What's wrong?
SIGN Discuss what you're looking for in a dating partner
[13:04] Tomozaki
Now what do I do?
[13:09] Tomozaki**
I know! If Fuka's my choice...
[13:13] Tomozaki
Earlier you said you were
trying to figure out
[13:17] Tomozaki
who the hero Libra would wind
up with at the climax, right?
[13:21] Fuka
Right. Kris or Alucia.
[13:25] Tomozaki
People who see romance as a
matter of who winds up with who
[13:29] Tomozaki
are going to be really
invested in this story.
[13:32] Fuka
Uh-huh.
[13:33] Tomozaki
So, um... if a guy and
a girl are g-going out,
[13:40] Tomozaki
what do you think their criteria should be?
[13:43] Fuka
Their criteria for choosing someone to date?
[13:46] Tomozaki
Y-Yeah. Right.
[13:50] Fuka
There's still so much I don't know...
[13:55] Fuka
But I think it probably depends on
[13:59] Fuka
what "dating" means to any given person.
[14:05] Tomozaki
What it means?
[14:07] Fuka
If someone is simply interested
in trying this "dating" thing,
[14:12] Fuka
or if a couple wants to put a name
on the relationship they share...
[14:18] Tomozaki
I see.
[14:20] Tomozaki
That probably counts for my task, anyway...
SIGN Discuss what you're looking for in a dating partner
[14:24] Tomozaki
But I'd like to take it a step further.
[14:29] Tomozaki
O-Okay, then, what does "dating"
mean for you personally?
[14:37] Fuka
Me? Personally?
[14:40] Tomozaki
Uh-huh.
[14:42] Fuka
Um...
[14:43] Fuka
Well, there's this Andi story,
"The Scissorman's Lie."
[14:49] Tomozaki
Oh, that one. The short love story
about the Scissorman and the princess.
[14:53] Fuka
Right.
SIGN The Scissorman's Lie
[14:55] Fuka
A man with scissors for hands who
hurts people without meaning to
[15:00] Fuka
gets pulled into a storybook world
and falls in love with a princess.
[15:05] Fuka
A bond gradually grows
between the lonely pair.
[15:09] Fuka
The Scissorman is the only
one for the princess,
[15:13] Fuka
and the princess is the only
one for the Scissorman.
[15:18] Fuka
I think dating might mean being able
to create that kind of relationship.
[15:24] Tomozaki
Where no one else could
take your partner's place.
[15:29] Fuka
That's right.
[15:30] Fuka
A special relationship, where no one
else will do, taking one ideal shape.
[15:38] Fuka
I think that might be what
"dating" means to me.
[15:44] Tomozaki
One ideal shape, huh?
[15:46] Tomozaki
I'll have to give that some thought myself.
[15:49] Fuka
You don't have a take on it?
[15:53] Tomozaki
Mmm... I never really thought about it.
[15:56] Fuka
Oh, I see.
[15:58] Tomozaki
But that's all the more reason I ought to
pin down my own definition of "dating."
[16:05] Fuka
Well, once you do,
please share it with me.
[16:12] Fuka
Oh! To, um... to help with
the script, that is...
[16:18] Tomozaki
A-As reference.
[16:20] Fuka
Right. As reference.
[16:28] Mizusawa
Yo, Fumiya.
[16:30] Tomozaki
What's up, Mizusawa?
[16:34] Mizusawa
Sure is awkward between you and Mimimi.
[16:36] Tomozaki
Oh, well...
[16:38] Tomozaki
you know...
[16:40] Mizusawa
This calls for drastic measures.
[16:43] Mizusawa
Let's get to lunch.
[16:44] Tomozaki
Huh?
SIGN Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki S2
[16:53] Mimimi
Oh! Mapo bowl for you, Brain?
[16:56] Tomozaki
A-And ramen for you, Mimimi?
[17:01] Mimimi
Hey, Tomozaki?
[17:03] Tomozaki
Y-Yeah?
[17:05] Mimimi
About... About yesterday...
[17:10] Mimimi
I mean, don't worry about it too much.
[17:14] Mimimi
In fact, forget it!
[17:16] Mimimi
Or, well, not exactly.
[17:19] Mimimi
Let's just be like we always
have been... or something.
[17:23] Tomozaki
S-Sure.
[17:24] Tomozaki
Got it.
[17:28] Hanabi
Huh! Who knew?
[17:30] Mizusawa
Same goes for you, right, Aoi?
[17:32] Aoi
That's right!
[17:34] Aoi
I've had people ask if you
and I are dating, Takahiro!
[17:39] Mizusawa
Oh, yeah, those two would
make a great couple.
[17:44] Tomozaki
If you do say so yourself.
[17:46] Aoi
Actually, Tomozaki... what about you?
[17:51] Tomozaki
Um...
[17:53] Tomozaki
I can feel her pressing me to
make the most of this setting
[17:58] Tomozaki
to get my tasks over with.
[17:59] Tomozaki
M-Me?
[18:01] Aoi
Yeah! It's like you seem to have
something going on, but you don't...
[18:06] Aoi
or it seems like you don't, but you do.
[18:08] Tomozaki
Well, which is it?
[18:09] Mizusawa
Oh, he might. He was at that girls' school
culture festival, after all.
[18:15] Mizusawa
Talking to girls and everything.
[18:20] Mizusawa
I wouldn't be surprised if
something developed after that.
[18:24] Mimimi
I-Is that true, Brain?!
[18:26] Tomozaki
N-No, there's nothing!
[18:29] Mimimi
Hmm...
[18:31] Hanabi
You know, Minmi...
[18:32] Mimimi
Wh-What?
[18:34] Hanabi
You're weird today.
[18:35] Aoi
Oh, that? I thought so, too.
[18:39] Aoi
I bet she's hiding something from us!
[18:42] Mimimi
I-I wouldn't... say that...
[18:46] Tomozaki
Whoa, Mimimi—this is not the
time to be looking my way!
[18:50] Mimimi
Now, now. Setting that aside...
[18:54] Mimimi
Whoops—my ramen's gonna get soggy!
[18:57] Mimimi
Everyone eat up fast before it gets cold!
SIGN My Unfamiliar Way to Fly
[19:07] Tomozaki
"My Unfamiliar Way to Fly" went like this:
[19:13] Tomozaki
In a world where dragons
and humans lived in harmony,
[19:16] Tomozaki
there was one very special
breed of flying dragon.
[19:21] Tomozaki
Susceptible to stress and wary of humans,
[19:24] Tomozaki
the most important factor in raising them was
[19:27] Tomozaki
never exposing them to the
impurities of the world.
[19:31] Tomozaki
Libra, the locksmith's son, and Alucia,
next in line to be queen, were both 15.
[19:37] Tomozaki
They grew up together, despite
their different backgrounds.
[19:40] Tomozaki
When Libra was younger, he visited the
castle on an errand for his father,
[19:44] Tomozaki
where he met the smart and determined Alucia,
[19:47] Tomozaki
and the two became friends.
[19:49] Tomozaki
One day, while his father was working,
[19:53] Tomozaki
Alucia invited Libra to explore the castle.
[19:58] Tomozaki
Inside it was a garden they
were forbidden to enter.
[20:03] Tomozaki
Out of curiosity, the two went in.
[20:07] Tomozaki
There before them was a pure-white
dragon with huge wings
[20:12] Tomozaki
and Kris, a young girl who knew
nothing of the outside world.
[20:17] Tomozaki
Kris had been abandoned
outside the castle as a baby,
[20:22] Tomozaki
and was also 15 years old.
[20:24] Tomozaki
She lived here, apart from the world,
to serve as the dragon keeper.
[20:30] Tomozaki
Neither she nor the dragons
were permitted to have contact
[20:32] Tomozaki
with any humans who weren't royalty.
[20:37] Tomozaki
The king sentenced Libra to death for
having entered the forbidden garden.
[20:43] Tomozaki
But Alucia confronted her father,
the king, with a hard truth:
[20:49] Tomozaki
the king had illegitimate children
hidden throughout the kingdom.
[20:55] Tomozaki
Alucia bluffed that Libra
was one of these children,
[20:58] Tomozaki
making him royalty—and her brother.
[21:04] Tomozaki
And if Libra were royalty, he
couldn't contaminate the dragons.
[21:10] Tomozaki
Not wanting his dirty little
secret to go public,
[21:14] Tomozaki
the king vacated Libra's sentence,
[21:17] Tomozaki
and Libra was charged with caring for Kris.
[21:25] Tomozaki
Um...
[21:27] Tomozaki
I enjoyed it.
[21:29] Fuka
Y-You did? Really?!
[21:31] Tomozaki
Uh-huh. It felt a lot like the way
it did when I read the story itself.
[21:36] Fuka
Thank goodness...
[21:39] Fuka
Um, w-would you say you
had any concerns so far?
[21:44] Tomozaki
Hmm...
[21:46] Tomozaki
Maybe the characters?
[21:48] Fuka
The characters?
[21:50] Tomozaki
They feel... more ordinary now, or something.
[21:53] Tomozaki
I'm sure the story is easier
to understand this way,
[21:56] Tomozaki
but it's like there's
something off about them.
[22:00] Fuka
Maybe so...
[22:02] Fuka
I actually did change the concept a little.
[22:06] Fuka
I simplified the characters to make it
easier for everyone to play the various parts.
[22:11] Fuka
But in making them easier to understand,
they may have become more broadly drawn.
[22:17] Tomozaki
Ah, I see.
[22:19] Tomozaki
Her short stories are strong on portraying
the characters' fine details,
[22:24] Tomozaki
the particular ways they think,
even their inconsistent feelings.
[22:27] Tomozaki
That was a big part of its charm.
[22:30] Fuka
I thought I'd do without complex emotions
[22:32] Fuka
and bring straightforward
thoughts to the forefront.
[22:37] Tomozaki
But I feel like that weakened
the sense I had before
[22:40] Tomozaki
that these were living,
breathing characters.
[22:43] Fuka
Can I keep on writing this as is?
[22:48] Tomozaki
I... I think you should go
back the original characters.
[22:55] Tomozaki
It might make them harder to perform,
[22:58] Tomozaki
and it might be hard for you to
get that across in just dialogue.
[23:04] Tomozaki
But...
[23:05] Tomozaki
I think that way is absolutely
more interesting.
[23:10] Fuka
All right, understood. I'll give it a try.
[23:16] Tomozaki
Way too much happened today.
[23:19] Tomozaki**
I feel like my head's going to pop.
[23:22] Tomozaki
What should I be thinking about?
[23:25] Tomozaki
What should I do?
[23:27] Tomozaki
What does "dating" mean?
[23:29] Tomozaki
And if I ever find out...
[23:32] Tomozaki
who will I most want to be with,
[23:35] Tomozaki
Mimimi or Kikuchi?

I heard it from the horse's mouth:
[00:04] Aoi
Mimimi told you she liked you.
[00:06] Tomozaki
Yeah. I'm sorry I hid it from you.
[00:10] Aoi
That's all right. So for now...
[00:13] Aoi
as you progress through your event map,
[00:16] Aoi
you'll be focusing on Fuka instead,
SIGN Event 1 Event 2 Event 3 Event 4 Minami Nanami
[00:19] Aoi
since you've already met
your goal with Mimimi.
[00:21] Tomozaki
Again with that "goal" stuff...
[00:24] Aoi
Still, if you'd like,
[00:27] Aoi
you can check off the boxes
for Mimimi, too.
SIGN Event 5 Event 6 Event 7 Event 8 Minami Nanami
[00:32] Tomozaki
Huh? Really?
[00:35] Aoi
You do seem to prefer
challenges that coincide with
[00:38] Aoi
what you want to do.
SIGN 2nd Stage: Lv. 10 The patterns carved into the stone tablet are connected to the mysteries of the world
[02:12] Mizusawa
Okay, first of all,
[02:14] Mizusawa
we decide who gets what part.
SIGN Roles: Libra Kris
[02:16] Mizusawa
Starting with the hero, Libra.
[02:19] Mizusawa
What's he like?
[02:20] Tomozaki
Libra is...
[02:21] Tomozaki
He's good at closing the distance
between him and others.
[02:24] Tomozaki
He's considerate, smart, and
brimming with curiosity.
[02:28] Takei
That's me! Who else?
SIGN Takei: 1 Tachibana: 10 Mizusawa: 23
[02:33] Yuzu
Takahiro it is!
[02:35] Takei
Huh?! Why?
[02:39] Mizusawa
I'm not entirely sure I'm fit for
the role, but since it's mine now...
[02:45] Mizusawa
I'll do it proud.
SIGN Libra: Mizusawa Kris Alucia
[02:47] Mizusawa
Next is Kris.
[02:49] Tomozaki
Kris is fearful, but so innocent—a
slightly childlike girl.
SIGN Seno: 5 Kashiwazaki: 9 Natsubayashi: 20
[02:57] Yuzu
Tama it is!
[03:00] Hanabi
Okay. I'll do my best.
[03:02] Mizusawa
The last main character is Alucia.
[03:05] Tomozaki
She's brilliant and quick-witted:
[03:08] Tomozaki
the perfect girl whom
everyone can rely on.
[03:13] Mizusawa
Which means, well...
[03:15] Mizusawa
you know.
[03:17] Aoi
I see I'm going to have to raise my hand.
SIGN Libra: Mizusawa Kris: Natsubayashi Alucia: Hinami

SIGN Manga Café | Play
[03:31] Mizusawa
Okay, so this is how we'll divvy things
up between the play and the manga café.
[03:38] Fuka
Thanks, Tomozaki.
[03:42] Fuka
This is kind of fun. Now
that we have our actors,
[03:47] Fuka
I'm getting all these ideas...
[03:50] Tomozaki
Oh, yeah?
[03:51] Mimimi
B-Brain!
[03:53] Mimimi
We need to have a meeting of our own!
[03:56] Mimimi
I'm not sure we'll make it in time, though!
[03:58] Tomozaki
Oh, right! The comedy act.
[04:01] Mimimi
That's right, Brain! Did you
forget? You little so-and-so!
[04:05] Tomozaki
Sorry... I've been kinda busy.
[04:07] Mimimi
Well, you are directing
the class play, after all.
[04:10] Mimimi
I'll do you a favor: how about
we meet after school today?
[04:16] Tomozaki
How is that doing me a favor?
[04:18] Mimimi
Is that okay, Kikuchi?
[04:21] Fuka
Um, sure.
[04:26] Tomozaki
So, uh, what should we do?
[04:29] Mimimi
Y-Yeah, Tomozaki... what?
[04:32] Tomozaki
Did you have any suggestions?
[04:35] Mimimi
Well, um... I was thinking about,
like, a married-couple routine...
[04:40] Tomozaki
M-Married couple...
[04:43] Mimimi
But, um, then I changed my mind.
[04:47] Tomozaki
Oh... okay.
[04:50] Mimimi
Listen...
[04:53] Mimimi
Look... I told you, didn't I?
[04:56] Tomozaki
Um... you mean...
[04:59] Mimimi
That I like you.
[05:01] Tomozaki
R-Right...
[05:03] Mimimi
What did you think? When
I told you... like that.
[05:09] Tomozaki
Um... I was glad. Really glad.
[05:14] Mimimi
Uh-huh.
[05:16] Tomozaki
But honestly...
[05:18] Tomozaki
It's like I'm still not sure
what exactly to do now.
[05:24] Mimimi
Oh...
[05:25] Mimimi
Still, you're probably—
[05:30] Mimimi
Wait, is this okay?! I'm not getting
annoying or anything, am I?
[05:33] Tomozaki
No, no, it's fine...
[05:44] Mimimi
W-Well, good.
[05:46] Tomozaki
Y-Yeah.
[05:50] Tomozaki
Hey...
[05:53] Tomozaki
What do you think it means for
a—for a girl and a guy to date?
[05:58] Mimimi
Wh-Where'd that come
from? A girl and a guy—?
[06:01] Tomozaki
Y-Yeah. Like, why a couple would date.
[06:06] Mimimi
Can I be serious for a second?
[06:09] Tomozaki
Sure.
[06:10] Mimimi
I told you before how I can't
really break into first place,
[06:18] Mimimi
that I can't be someone special.
[06:20] Mimimi
I tell myself not to think that way,
[06:23] Mimimi
but it's so deeply ingrained in me by now
[06:25] Mimimi
that I can't really change.
[06:27] Mimimi
But you... you gave me the chance to try.
[06:32] Tomozaki
You mean, the election?
[06:34] Mimimi
Yeah.
[06:35] Mimimi
And with Tama and Erika... lots
of times, really.
[06:40] Mimimi
Even though I couldn't do anything at all,
[06:42] Mimimi
it's like you changed the
world to get things solved.
[06:46] Mimimi
I want to be someone like you—
[06:49] Mimimi
but that's not something I can do.
[06:53] Mimimi
So, yeah!
[06:55] Mimimi
At first it was kinda spur-of-the-moment,
saying I liked you—like how I like Tama.
[06:58] Mimimi
But the more I thought about it...
[07:01] Mimimi
I started to realize that I felt the same.
[07:04] Tomozaki
The same?
[07:06] Mimimi
About you.
[07:08] Mimimi
I really do like you.
[07:13] Mimimi
So maybe that's it.
[07:15] Mimimi
Maybe that's... the reason I chose you.
[07:20] Mimimi
Oh, man—am I getting annoying again?!
[07:23] Tomozaki
No, not at all.
[07:26] Mimimi
Oh, geez, now I'm all embarrassed.
[07:29] Mimimi
Forget what I said here today!
[07:31] Tomozaki
Eh?! A-All right.
[07:34] Mimimi
But I'd be too lonely if you
forgot it all, so never mind.
[07:38] Tomozaki
What the heck?
[07:40] Mimimi
Look, a girl's mind is complicated, okay?
[07:42] Tomozaki
It is, eh? Complicated, huh...
[07:46] Mimimi
See you later, Brain!
[07:48] Mimimi

Hey... what about our comedy practice?

[08:00] Mimimi

[08:02] Mimimi

[08:07] Tomozaki
Then what about me?
[08:10] Tomozaki
What are my special reasons?
[08:14] Fuka
Here, Tomozaki.
SIGN My Unfamiliar Way to Fly Second Draft
[08:16] Fuka
Now that the roles have been
assigned, I adjusted the dialogue.
[08:20] Tomozaki
In one night?
[08:21] Fuka
Yes. I still haven't finished
the last scene, though.
[08:29] Tomozaki
Ah... she changed more than
just the dialogue, I see.
[08:35] Tomozaki
Since Kris had been caring for
the dragons all this time,
[08:38] Tomozaki
she'd never left the garden.
[08:40] Tomozaki
That's the kind of sad girl she was.
[08:43] Tomozaki
But the garden had everything:
[08:47] Tomozaki
a fluffy bed,
[08:49] Tomozaki
fresh, clean water,
[08:52] Tomozaki
a warm bath.
[08:55] Tomozaki
She read fairy tales and books of myths.
[08:58] Tomozaki
She was served the same
meals as the royal family.
[09:02] Tomozaki
But what the garden lacked
was everything else.
[09:09] Tomozaki
The first change is in the
scene where they meet.
[09:13] Tomozaki
When Kris, who lived in solitude
—knowing neither joy nor sorrow—
[09:16] Tomozaki
first meets Libra and Alucia,
[09:19] Tomozaki
the first draft had her reacting like this:
[09:24] Kris (Fuka)
Other... humans? Oh! I'm Kris!
[09:29] Kris (Fuka)
What are your names?
[09:31] Tomozaki
It showed her curiosity about the outside
world, as well as how forthright she was.
[09:37] Tomozaki
But after the rewrite, it went like this:
[09:40] Kris (Fuka)
Other... humans?
[09:43] Kris (Fuka)
Wh-Who are you? What are you doing here?
[09:47] Tomozaki
Her guardedness and fear
came to the forefront.
[09:50] Tomozaki
Although she'd hoped to be
released from her solitude,
[09:53] Tomozaki
she still feared change
and the unknown world.
[09:57] Tomozaki
Libra, too, wasn't the simple hero
he'd been in the first draft.
[10:04] Tomozaki
He was awkward and made a lot of mistakes,
[10:06] Tomozaki
but made friends via his
resolve to see things through.
[10:09] Tomozaki
Now he was more of a realistic young man.
[10:12] Tomozaki
In other words, both of them had
their weaknesses highlighted.
[10:17] Tomozaki
But not Alucia.
[10:20] Tomozaki
Take when she meets Kris and
the dragon, for example.
[10:24] Tomozaki
Originally, Alucia sensed
danger and tried to escape,
[10:30] Tomozaki
but in the revised script:
[10:32] Alucia (Fuka)
Libra, move.
[10:34] Tomozaki
Alucia immediately moves to break
the dragon's wing herself.
[10:39] Tomozaki
That makes it her fault that
the dragon can no longer fly.
[10:43] Tomozaki
It no longer matters
whether Libra is unclean.
[10:47] Tomozaki
But Libra notices and stops her.
[10:50] Libra (Fuka)
What are you doing?
[10:51] Alucia (Fuka)
It would take a lot to
execute a royal like me.
[10:56] Alucia (Fuka)
So please... let me do this.
[10:59] Libra (Fuka)
But if you do, Alucia...
[11:01] Libra (Fuka)
it's your heart that will die!
[11:07] Tomozaki
Thanks to Alucia's bluff,
Libra's life was spared.
[11:12] Tomozaki
Here the story shifts to the
relationships between the three
[11:16] Tomozaki
during their time in the garden.
[11:18] Tomozaki
With their new roles of
caretaker and educator,
[11:22] Tomozaki
the three built a warm but strange
family-friend relationship.
[11:28] Tomozaki
Kris enjoyed decorating with
flowers and reading books.
[11:34] Tomozaki
But to keep her from
the world's impurities,
[11:37] Tomozaki
she was allowed only
myths and fairy tales.
[11:40] Tomozaki
After exhausting the
castle's stores of books,
[11:42] Tomozaki
she became engrossed in Libra's
tales of the outside world.
[11:47] Libra
The giant dragon is actually
the fastest of all dragons.
[11:52] Libra
They move at such high speed: boosh, boosh!
[11:55] Kris
Wow! Tell me more!
[11:58] Libra
Nowadays there are even facilities that
generate magic from their movements.
[12:04] Libra
Apparently it was a huge discovery, being
able to turn physical power into magic!
[12:08] Kris
Really? That's amazing!
[12:10] Libra
I know a little magic myself.
Just one spell, though: Unlock.
[12:17] Kris
That's physical power, isn't it?
[12:20] Kris
What's magical about opening a lock?
[12:23] Libra
You got me.
[12:25] Tomozaki
Libra told her all about the real world.
[12:28] Tomozaki
A world where people lived,
sometimes argued,
[12:31] Tomozaki
loved one another, and
occasionally died.
[12:34] Libra
But see...
[12:35] Libra
As long as I have this, I can go all kinds
of places and see all kinds of things.
[12:40] Libra
So even if this is all I
have, that's fine by me.
[12:44] Kris
I see. Your Unlock is a very...
[12:49] Kris
a very marvelous spell!
[12:52] Tomozaki
Meanwhile, Alucia was talented
[12:54] Tomozaki
and hard-working enough to
have won magic tournaments.
[12:58] Tomozaki
She was tough on Kris during
their lessons together.
[13:01] Alucia
Look, it's just some folk belief that
holds all non-royals are tainted.
[13:05] Alucia
There's no basis for it.
[13:06] Alucia
Noble society loves its
old-fashioned traditions.
[13:11] Kris
Th-That's a little frightening...
[13:13] Kris
Say, could we study something more pleasant?
[13:16] Kris
Perhaps some delightful tales
of the outside world...?
[13:19] Alucia
Hmm... Okay, do you know
what butterflies are?
[13:23] Kris
Yuck! They're insects, aren't they?
[13:27] Kris
Like this?
[13:29] Alucia
That's a pill bug.
[13:30] Alucia
Both are insects, but a
butterfly is different.
[13:33] Kris
But that's the only insect we have in here.
[13:36] Alucia
See, this is why you need to study.
[13:39] Alucia
You need basic knowledge to understand
stories about the world outside.
[13:43] Kris
Hmm, it feels like you're buttering me up...
[13:46] Kris
Like a butterfly... get it?
[13:48] Alucia
Mmm. Now let's pick up where we left off.
[13:51] Kris
Oh, don't be a pill... bug! Get it?
[13:54] Alucia
Yes, yes. Now, where we left off...
[14:00] Hanabi
Tama-rrow!
[14:01] Kris
Pill... bug!
[14:04] Tomozaki
Kris is totally Tama.
[14:07] Tomozaki
And this Alucia...
[14:10] Tomozaki
She's way too similar to
the face behind her mask.
[14:14] Tomozaki
The story's turning point
hinged on the flying dragon.
[14:18] Tomozaki
Flying dragons become capable
of flight before they turn 13.
[14:22] Tomozaki
Those that can't fly by then are thought to
have lost the power of flight due to impurities.
[14:29] Tomozaki
The flying dragon Kris was
raising turned 13 this year...
[14:32] Tomozaki
and still couldn't fly.
[14:35] Tomozaki
But what impurity could
be robbing it of flight?
[14:40] Libra
Kris, did you know?
[14:42] Libra
Flying dragons can read people's minds.
[14:45] Kris
Their minds?
[14:47] Libra
They're kind, too.
[14:49] Libra
They never forget all they owe
to the human who raises them,
[14:53] Libra
and they do all they can to
grant that person's wishes.
[14:58] Kris
Do you mean...
[15:00] Libra
Say, Kris...
[15:04] Libra
You don't want to fly, do you?
[15:08] Tomozaki
In this way, Kris's weakness was revealed.
[15:12] Tomozaki
The garden had everything.
Everything and nothing.
[15:17] Tomozaki
Therefore, she was lonely and
wished she could leave. And yet...
[15:22] Tomozaki
her desire to fly from this garden
and gain everything it lacked
[15:28] Tomozaki
was overshadowed by her
fear of an unknown world.
[15:32] Tomozaki
That's right: what kept the
dragon tied down
[15:37] Tomozaki
was none other than Kris's own mind.
SIGN Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki S2
[15:43] Tomozaki
That was really good.
[15:45] Tomozaki
I think it's even more
interesting than the novel.
[15:49] Fuka
R-Really?
[15:50] Tomozaki
Uh-huh.
[15:52] Tomozaki
The part where they learn why the dragon
can't fly stayed with me the most.
[15:57] Tomozaki
Kris being afraid struck me
as so realistic... so human.
[16:03] Fuka
Oh? I thought it might.
[16:06] Tomozaki
You did?
[16:07] Fuka
Oh, um... Was there anything else?
[16:11] Tomozaki
I liked what happened after they figured
out what was up with the dragon, too.
[16:16] Fuka
Oh! I like that part, too!
[16:19] Tomozaki
Libra suggests that he and Kris
[16:22] Tomozaki
both ride the dragon to see
the outside world together.
[16:37] Tomozaki
Kris was just afraid to see
the world all by herself.
[16:42] Fuka
That's right.
[16:43] Tomozaki
But when she's with Libra... she can fly.
[16:47] Fuka
Kris wanted to fly out into the glittering
outside world, but was afraid.
[16:51] Fuka
Libra's the one who brought her
out of her lonely, walled garden.
[16:57] Fuka
The view Kris saw from
there must have changed
[17:01] Fuka
the gray world she'd been
seeing all her life.
[17:07] Fuka
Ever since I was little, I'd felt
like everything I saw was gray.
[17:15] Fuka
What's wrong?
[17:17] Tomozaki
Tell me: what was Libra
especially good at again?
[17:22] Fuka
Mmm... I'd say he was best at
saying whatever was on his mind.
[17:29] Tomozaki
This script isn't pure fiction.
[17:33] Tomozaki
This is Kikuchi's own story.
[17:40] Tomozaki
You want to know about Hinami?
[17:43] Fuka
Yes.
[17:44] Fuka
So I can paint a more detailed
picture of Alucia's personality.
[17:49] Tomozaki
Alucia's personality?
[17:52] Fuka
Libra is awkward, Kris is fearful...
[17:55] Fuka
Alucia is strong, but she needs a weakness.
[17:59] Fuka
As I was writing, I started
to have my doubts.
[18:03] Tomozaki
Doubts?
[18:05] Fuka
As in, how can Alucia even
be this strong?
[18:14] Aoi
An interview? Now you've got me nervous.
[18:17] Tomozaki
Go ahead, Kikuchi.
[18:19] Fuka
Okay.
[18:20] Fuka
Um... What drives you to work
so hard at so many things?
[18:27] Tomozaki
But that interview was empty,
[18:29] Tomozaki
just nice-sounding words with a little
venom that seemed like it could be real.
[18:35] Tomozaki
I doubt there were any answers that
Kikuchi would want to put in her story.
[18:41] Fuka
I think Hinami was lying to us.
[18:47] Fuka
No matter how fluent her speech, the motive
at the center of it all stayed hidden.
[18:52] Fuka
She acted like she was saying
how she really felt, though.
[18:56] Fuka
Which means...
[18:58] Fuka
Alucia isn't just going
along with her environment
[19:01] Fuka
and working hard out of a sense of duty...
[19:05] Fuka
there's something... unusual there.
[19:10] Tomozaki
I think so, too.
[19:12] Tomozaki
But I didn't know what...
[19:14] Tomozaki
even though I knew the face behind her mask.
[19:20] Tomozaki
Care to dig a little deeper, Kikuchi?
[19:24] Tomozaki
See what makes Hinami tick?

I'm Maebashi. Nice to meet you.

I-I'm Kikuchi. Glad you could come.
[19:42] Tomozaki
Okay, let's get started.
[19:45] Tomozaki
Oh, I do have Hinami's
permission, by the way.
[19:48] Tomozaki
Let's see...
[19:49] Tomozaki
Tachibana went to middle school with Hinami.
[19:52] Tachibana
Right.
[19:53] Tomozaki
And Maebashi, you've been her
classmate since grade school?
[19:57] Maebashi
That's right.
[19:59] Tomozaki
All right, we'll start with middle school.
[20:02] Tomozaki
Has anything stuck with you, Tachibana?
[20:05] Tachibana
What I remember... is her dating the
Vice President of the boy's basketball club.
[20:11] Tomozaki
Huh?! Really?
[20:13] Tachibana
He was this cool older
guy. The girls loved him.
[20:16] Tachibana
And she dumped him right away!
[20:19] Tomozaki
So she always stood out, huh...
[20:22] Maebashi
Mmm...
[20:23] Maebashi
I wouldn't say that.
[20:25] Tomozaki
What do you mean?
[20:27] Maebashi
I don't think Hinami stood out
much in grade school, anyway.
[20:32] Fuka
She didn't?
[20:34] Maebashi
She was earnest, friendly—a good kid.
[20:37] Maebashi
Oh, and I remember her being
really family-oriented.
[20:42] Tachibana
Right! So do I.
[20:44] Maebashi
I got the impression that she
loved her little sisters a lot.
[20:49] Tachibana
Plural?
[20:51] Tomozaki
Oh, so she has little sisters?
[20:54] Maebashi
Say hi to Hinami for me!
[20:57] Tachibana
Thanks for everything!
[21:02] Tomozaki
What's up, Tachibana?
[21:05] Tachibana
You know how Maebashi said "sisters," plural?
[21:08] Tomozaki
Yeah, she did say that.
[21:10] Tachibana
See, that's weird right there.
[21:13] Tachibana
I mean, Aoi only has one younger sister.
[21:18] Tomozaki
Are you sure about that?
[21:21] Tachibana
Yeah, pretty damn sure.
[21:27] Tomozaki
It's not really something we can pry into.
[21:30] Tomozaki
She's never said a word about it.

Right. That's something else you have to do.

Ta-da! I've actually finished our script!
[05:10] Tomozaki
Wow, really?
[05:12] Mimimi
Now let's give our married-couple
routine a whirl!
[05:15] Mimimi
Clap-clap-clap-clap!
[05:17] Mimimi
Hello there!
[05:19] Tomozaki
Wait wait wait! I can't just
jump right in like that!
[05:22] Mimimi
Huh? Why not?
[05:23] Tomozaki
I haven't even seen the script!
[05:25] Mimimi
Even though we're friends, Brain?!
[05:27] Tomozaki
Even though we're friends.
[05:29] Mimimi
See? That's what I call great flow!
[05:32] Tomozaki
Huh?
[05:33] Mimimi
What we did just now!
[05:35] Mimimi
We were just having a normal conversation,
[05:36] Mimimi
but it started sounding
like a comedy skit, right?
[05:38] Tomozaki
Ah!
[05:40] Mimimi
Which makes this natural
married-couple comedy!
[05:44] Mimimi
Let's get rehearsing!
[05:49] Mimimi
Hey, I know! Why don't we go to the zoo?
[05:52] Tomozaki
I wouldn't want to be there if
the lion escaped its enclosure.
[05:56] Mimimi
So I'll bring a tranquilizer gun.
[05:58] Tomozaki
You know they'll confiscate it at the gates!
[06:03] Mimimi
Don't you think our usual
conversations are funnier?
[06:08] Mimimi
This really feels like
we're reading a script.
[06:11] Tomozaki
Oh...
[06:13] Mimimi
The funniest comedians come across
like they're having an impromptu chat.
[06:18] Mimimi
So even though memorizing
this is part of the process,
[06:21] Mimimi
maybe not every line should
be carved in stone.
[06:25] Tomozaki
Yeah. But that's kind of terrifying.
[06:28] Tomozaki
I guess...
[06:29] Mimimi
But you and me always have such crazy
conversations... couldn't it work?
[06:34] Tomozaki
Now that you mention it... maybe?
[06:36] Mimimi
That's right! We'll conquer the world!
[06:40] Tomozaki
What's this "world" stuff? It's
just the culture festival.
[06:43] Mimimi
See? Nice comeback!
[06:46] Tomozaki
Sheesh...
[06:49] Tomozaki
I have fun with Mimimi—and so, by
extension, it's easy to picture us dating.

But how is that different from being friends?
[07:02] Mimimi

[07:04] Mimimi
Nice work today.
[07:07] Mimimi
You've had a lot on your
mind lately, huh, Brain.

You can tell?
[07:12] Mimimi
Aww, c'mon! Your ol' uncle
is always here for advice!
[07:15] Tomozaki

[07:17] Mimimi
It's not healthy to keep stuff to yourself.
[07:20] Mimimi
And if a girl my age is saying
it, you know it's true!
[07:25] Tomozaki
What, so you're not my uncle after all?
[07:28] Mimimi
Don't you worry about that.
[07:31] Tomozaki
Um... thanks.
[07:33] Mimimi
F-F-For what?!
[07:35] Tomozaki
For worrying about me.
[07:37] Mimimi
Oh, well, y-y-you know...
[07:40] Tomozaki
I've actually had a lot of
things to think about lately:
[07:44] Tomozaki
the script for our play, Hinami...
[07:48] Mimimi
Aoi?
[07:50] Tomozaki
She's playing Alucia, right?
[07:52] Tomozaki
We asked her a lot of questions for the part,
[07:55] Tomozaki
like, "Why do you push yourself so hard?"
[07:59] Mimimi
Oh, that. I've been wondering that
myself, ever since the election.
[08:04] Mimimi
And how maybe she and I are the same.
[08:07] Tomozaki
The same?
[08:09] Mimimi
I told you how I need to be in first
place because I'm not special, right?
[08:15] Tomozaki
Yeah.
[08:17] Mimimi
So I'm thinking...
[08:18] Mimimi
maybe Aoi shoots for first place
so she can be special, too.
[08:23] Tomozaki
That could be.
[08:27] Tomozaki
Mimimi?
[08:29] Mimimi
If so, that worries me a little.
[08:32] Tomozaki
How so?
[08:34] Mimimi
Maybe Aoi and I are the same:
[08:36] Mimimi
hollow.
[08:39] Tomozaki
Hinami, hollow?
[08:42] Tomozaki
I mean, I don't know what
her core motivation is.
[08:48] Mimimi
To try that hard and still be
empty inside... How sad is that?
[08:52] Mimimi
And if it's true... then she might...
[08:56] Tomozaki
Might what?
[08:58] Mimimi
She might not ever come
to me for advice. Right?
[09:02] Tomozaki
It's true. I doubt Hinami would
unload on Mimimi about herself.
[09:07] Tomozaki
And not just Mimimi...
[09:10] Tomozaki
I can't picture her opening
up to anyone at all.

really actively talk to everyone.
[10:14] Tomozaki
To everyone?
[10:16] Mizusawa
Yeah. Like when you were
assigning parts earlier.
[10:19] Mizusawa
It feels like she learned from watching you.
[10:22] Mizusawa
Y'know, though, I hate to say this...
[10:25] Mizusawa
She's not really used to that kind of role.
[10:28] Tomozaki

busy with student council work.
[10:44] Fuka
Good morning, Tomozaki.
[10:47] Tomozaki
Morning, Kikuchi.
[10:49] Tomozaki
Could it be... finished?
[10:51] Fuka
Yes. I know it took a long time, but...
[10:54] Fuka
I've finished the script.
[10:57] Tomozaki
Ooh!
[11:03] Tomozaki
The script went in a different
direction than I'd anticipated.
[11:09] Tomozaki
After Libra and Kris took
off on the flying dragon
[11:11] Tomozaki
and Kris got a taste of how
beautiful the world was,
[11:14] Tomozaki
she began asking to venture into town.
[11:17] Tomozaki
Libra accompanied her out of the castle.
[11:21] Tomozaki
She didn't know how shopping worked,
[11:23] Tomozaki
and got a real scolding from the greengrocer.
[11:25] Tomozaki
Thus Kris came to know the real world.
[11:29] Tomozaki
Eventually, Kris got to thinking:
[11:31] Tomozaki
this garden she'd been cooped
up in for all this time,
[11:34] Tomozaki
this place she wanted to
leave... she did nothing
[11:38] Tomozaki
in return for clean clothes
and delicious food,
[11:42] Tomozaki
and she could read all the
fairy tales she desired.
[11:45] Tomozaki
It may have been a little too convenient.
[11:50] Kris (Fuka)
Say, Libra... am I spoiled?
[11:54] Libra (Fuka)
Eh?
[11:55] Kris (Fuka)
Being shut away in this garden,
[11:59] Kris (Fuka)
never having to work hard to live...
[12:01] Kris (Fuka)
The outside world is pretty from a distance,
[12:05] Kris (Fuka)
but I'll have to work hard
if I want to be part of it.
[12:09] Tomozaki
In the end, Kris sneaked out
of the castle and went missing.
[12:14] Tomozaki
Libra and Alucia searched
desperately for her.
[12:16] Tomozaki
But the castle's residents did
nothing about the missing girl.
[12:21] Tomozaki
Kris had finished raising the flying dragon,
[12:23] Tomozaki
so as far as they were concerned,
she was only baggage.
[12:29] Tomozaki
Kris took a job at the greengrocer's.
[12:33] Tomozaki
Despite a string of failures,
[12:35] Tomozaki
Kris used her own skills to
learn what life required of her,
[12:38] Tomozaki
and decided to live in the outside world.
[12:41] Tomozaki
Libra and Alucia celebrated her new venture.
[12:47] Tomozaki
I sure didn't see that coming.
[12:50] Tomozaki
Still...

[13:11] Fuka

[13:14] Tomozaki

[13:17] Tomozaki
and decided to live alone

SIGN My Unfamiliar Way to Fly Fourth Draft
[13:22] Tomozaki
I'm sure you put a lot of thought into this,
[13:25] Tomozaki
but reading that actually
made me kind of sad.
[13:31] Tomozaki
I felt like it was negating everything
about her life in the garden.
[13:40] Fuka
One of my favorite Andi books
is The Popple on Raptor Isle.
[13:46] Tomozaki
The Popples...
[13:48] Tomozaki
Oh, right... You mentioned that before.
[13:50] Fuka
It's an incredibly positive story.
[13:54] Fuka
This Popple, a blind creature,
was living all on its lonesome
[13:59] Fuka
when it left on a journey
in search of friends.
[14:02] Fuka
At first, all the other creatures
feared it because it was different.
[14:07] Fuka
But it made friends through
the power of its words.
[14:10] Fuka
And after making all these
friends of other species,
[14:15] Fuka
they all went on a voyage to see the ocean.
[14:18] Fuka
After reading it, I thought this
Popple was an ideal for the world.
[14:24] Tomozaki
An ideal... for the world?
[14:27] Fuka
It didn't even know what
kind of creature it was,
[14:31] Fuka
but it reached out to all these
other species and made friends.
[14:35] Fuka
All thanks to the power of
language and a little effort.
[14:40] Fuka
That's how it made friends.
[14:43] Fuka
It reminded me of a certain two people.
[14:47] Tomozaki
Two... You mean...
[14:49] Fuka
Yes. You and Hanabi.
[14:54] Fuka
I like this Popple's tale, and think
it's a great storytelling ideal...
[14:59] Fuka
an ideal for the world.
[15:03] Fuka
I thought I needed to be
more like that Popple.
[15:07] Fuka
But I just kept giving up.
[15:10] Fuka
Maybe it was impossible.
[15:13] Fuka
But when I saw you and Hanabi, I thought:
[15:17] Fuka
You're both so brilliant,
such ideal people...
[15:21] Fuka
And maybe, just maybe, I
could be like that, too.
[15:24] Tomozaki
So you're aiming for that ideal yourself?

But this story was really
about how Kris lives her life.
[15:51] Tomozaki
Uh-huh.

Got it.
[15:54] Tomozaki
But these new parts of the script...
[15:57] Tomozaki
Can we set them aside for now?

we'll go ahead with it as is.

perfect heroine Aoi Hinami is here,

but Kikuchi seems to be
mimicking how she does things.

O-Okay. Let's begin.
[17:07] Mizusawa
Why is she like that?
[17:09] Tomozaki
Could you not sneak up on me?!
[17:13] Tomozaki
Kikuchi's been thinking about a lot of stuff.
[17:17] Mizusawa
Hmm. A lot, eh?
[17:20] Tomozaki
Yeah, well...
[17:23] Mizusawa
Tell me. Maybe I can help.
[17:27] Tomozaki
She thinks she has to
become this world ideal.
[17:33] Tomozaki
Changing to fit in better, making friends...
[17:37] Tomozaki
She says she has to do these
things to fit this ideal.
[17:41] Mizusawa
A world ideal, eh?
[17:44] Mizusawa
I mean, sure, if she says so.
[17:47] Tomozaki
The way she puts it feels a little loaded.
[17:50] Mizusawa
No, I think it's a good thing.
[17:52] Mizusawa
She's determined to change herself
[17:54] Mizusawa
and is actively working
toward making that happen.
[17:57] Mizusawa
And she's doing a great job! It's impressive.
[18:01] Tomozaki
I suppose so.
[18:03] Mizusawa
And so is her reason for
it: to fit this ideal.
[18:08] Mizusawa
Pretty ironic that it's the
opposite of you, though.
[18:12] Tomozaki
The opposite?
[18:14] Tomozaki
If you mean the directions we're moving
in, I think they're actually the same.
[18:19] Tomozaki
Making an effort to change so
we fit in with everyone else.
[18:23] Tomozaki
That's what Tama and I did.
[18:26] Mizusawa
Ah, okay! So that's what
it looks like to you.
[18:29] Tomozaki
Wh-What?
[18:31] Mizusawa
Look, Kikuchi's talking about
the world's ideals, right?
[18:40] Mizusawa
Your ideal is from your own
perspective: "I'd like to do this."
[18:45] Mizusawa
While Kikuchi's takes a bird's-eye
view: "The world needs me like this."
[18:50] Mizusawa
Totally opposite, right?
[18:54] Tomozaki
I changed myself so I could enjoy
my playthrough of this game of life.
[19:00] Tomozaki
Tama changed herself so she
wouldn't be making Mimimi sad.
[19:08] Tomozaki
We both did it so we could
be our ideal selves.
[19:12] Tomozaki
Then why is Kikuchi doing it?
[19:17] Tomozaki
Is that how it is?
[19:19] Tomozaki
Drawing nearer to the world's ideals
[19:22] Tomozaki
is an objective, player-oriented
way of thinking, like Hinami's.
[19:32] Fuka
Yes, that's right.
[19:34] Fuka
I do feel like I see things from
what you call a "player" perspective.
[19:42] Fuka
But this has me thinking...
[19:45] Fuka
It might actually be an author's perspective.
[19:49] Tomozaki
An author's... like scripts and novels?
[19:53] Fuka
Well, yes, those too, but more than that.
[19:56] Fuka
An author of this story we call the world.
[19:59] Tomozaki
The world's author?
[20:03] Fuka
For a long time now, I haven't
thought about what I'd like to do
[20:06] Fuka
so much as how to make this world
more beautiful, how it should be,
[20:11] Fuka
what an ideal form would look like.
[20:14] Fuka
A very authoresque way
of thinking about things.
[20:17] Fuka
So I'm okay with this.
[20:20] Tomozaki
With a player perspective?
[20:23] Fuka
Those are your words, Tomozaki.
SIGN My Unfamiliar Way to Fly Fourth Draft
[20:28] Fuka
In the game world, the opposite of
"character" may well be "player."
[20:33] Fuka
But in the world of novels, I think the
opposite of "character" is "author."
[20:40] Fuka
So I'll be all right holding
onto my author's perspective.
[20:48] Fuka
I do want to take on that ideal form.

it felt about as jarring as when
Kikuchi was talking about her "ideal."
[03:28] ---
You said you see things from
an author's perspective, right?
[03:33] ---
Right.
[03:34] ---
But if that's true... you should be able
to accept that these firelings exist.
SIGN The Popples on Raptor Isle
[03:43] ---
The Popple was a freak, yet it made
friends with all these other species.
[03:48] ---
The Popple was a freak, yet it made
friends with all these other species.
[03:49] ---
And yes, that's ideal.
[03:52] ---
Still, as the author Michael
Andi crafted that world,
[03:55] ---
he included the firelings,
[03:58] ---
who couldn't make friends with the others.
[04:04] ---
You said that you needed
to be like the Popple...
[04:09] ---
but then aren't you rejecting the firelings?
[04:13] ---
If you really did have
an author's perspective,
[04:15] ---
you'd say the world could have
both the Popple and the firelings.
[04:19] ---
Saying that you have to be like the Popple
[04:22] ---
shows that you're thinking about
how you should be for yourself.
[04:27] ---
That may be true...
[04:30] ---
I know I'm playing with fire.
[04:33] ---
I'm negating the words Kikuchi's
been using to define herself
[04:37] ---
and trying to suggest
different words instead.
[04:40] ---
But I see a Kikuchi who'd ushered
Kris to such a sad conclusion,
[04:46] ---
a Kikuchi who was doing
everything she could to fit in,
[04:52] ---
and I think, "I want to help her."
[04:53] ---
Not that I should help her...
[04:56] ---
I want to.
[04:59] ---
I don't think you need a player's
or an author's perspective.
[05:03] ---
You can see life through your own
eyes: from a character's POV.
[05:08] ---
You've just lost sight of that
because you're overthinking things.
[05:13] ---
I just don't know.
[05:16] ---
I don't know what I'm looking
at, what my goals are...
[05:22] ---
I mean... everything I see is gray.
[05:31] ---
Well, that's easy.
[05:34] ---
Andi's books.
[05:36] ---
You love Andi's books.
[05:39] ---
That's one fact that's never going to change.
[05:43] ---
Is that enough?
[05:45] ---
Yep. After all, Andi's books are
what showed you a world of color.
[05:51] ---
Right now, you think you
have to change to fit in.
[05:56] ---
But if you were a fireling,
[05:59] ---
and everyone else were a different species...
[06:03] ---
you could find friends
at the firelings' lake.
[06:09] ---
Is this...
[06:11] ---
You'll find a bunch of friends
who like the same things.
[06:15] ---
Some of whom you'll want to meet in person.
[06:21] ---
I mean, that place is nothing but firelings.
[06:26] ---
You're really amazing, Tomozaki.
[06:30] ---
Nah. Just sneaky, that's all.
[06:33] ---
Still... are you sure?
[06:36] ---
You and Hanabi changed so
splendidly, you fit in so well...
[06:42] ---
and only I stay the same?
[06:44] ---
Right.
[06:47] ---
I'll give it to you straight:
[06:49] ---
The friendships you make at
school? They're nothing special.
[06:54] ---
I've changed myself over
these past six months,
[06:58] ---
gotten involved with all kinds of people,
[07:00] ---
and, I think, made a lot of
what I'd consider friends.
[07:05] ---
But that was all about me
clicking with those people
[07:10] ---
and school was just what brought us together.
[07:13] ---
And in these past six months,
[07:17] ---
the encounter I'm most happy to have had
[07:22] ---
was the day I gave a blanket denial of
this school and the normie way of life,
[07:29] ---
and Hinami threw it back in my face.
[07:33] ---
I did as she said, and set
out to play the game of life.
[07:37] ---
My superficial way of thinking
was actually sour grapes,
[07:42] ---
a sore loser not accepting defeat.
[07:45] ---
But that's not entirely true.
[07:49] ---
I can't say the grapes were all that sour.
[07:54] ---
It's simply that some grapes are
sweeter or more sour than others.
[08:01] ---
I came to know that truth.
[08:06] ---
You don't need to be friends
with everyone just because
[08:10] ---
you think the world demands it of you.
[08:14] ---
I see...
[08:16] ---
So I'm fine just as I am.
[08:20] ---
I'm not some freak who doesn't
belong in this world.
[08:27] ---
Right. Of course not.
[08:30] ---
Right...
[08:33] ---
Now, getting back on track...
[08:36] ---
With what?
[08:38] ---
With this here. Do you
know how to use this app?
[08:43] ---
Let's see... first
you make an account...
[08:48] ---
It's really very simple.
[08:53] ---
If the sweet grapes are hanging out of reach,
[08:56] ---
seek out the sweet
strawberries on the ground.
[08:59] ---
If you don't care for sweet things,
look for tasty nuts instead.
[09:04] ---
And if you're not even hungry,
go have fun however you want.
[09:10] ---
That's all there is to it.
[09:18] ---
Tomozaki!
[09:19] ---
Morning, Kikuchi. You're happy today.
[09:22] ---
I've made up my mind.
[09:25] ---
The previous draft ended with Kris leaving
[09:28] ---
and making an effort to fit
in with the outside world.
[09:32] ---
But now, Kris will apprentice at
a studio to become an artisan,
[09:37] ---
crafting her beloved flower decorations.
[09:39] ---
Hey, nice!
[09:49] ---
I'm sure Kris was lonely in her garden,
[09:52] ---
and she didn't know anything
about the outside world...
[09:55] ---
But I figured she'd like
working with flowers.
[10:00] ---
So I think she'll be happy,
having chosen that path.
[10:07] ---
Cool.
[10:38] ---
Hey, Kikuchi?
[10:40] ---
Yes?
[10:42] ---
I'd like to talk with you about
something after the festival.
[10:53] ---
Howdy, Brain!
[10:55] ---
Hey, Mimimi. Morning.
[10:57] ---
We're pretty much set with the
play, right? The script and all?
[11:03] ---
Yeah, just about.
[11:05] ---
So I can ask you to start
focusing on our thing now?
[11:11] ---
Oh, sure. I can get some
real practice in now.
[11:15] ---
Excellent! We are a married
couple, after all.
[11:19] ---
We're doing a married-couple routine: an act.
[11:24] ---
Nice comeback! Keep that up, 'kay?
[11:27] ---
You bet.
[11:31] ---
The days leading up to the festival
were packed with rehearsals and prep.

How far are we going to go?

We haven't walked that much.

That's Hinami!

Wait...
[00:27] Libra (Mizusawa)
there's a door.
[00:28] Alucia (Aoi)
Will it open?
[00:30] Libra (Mizusawa)
Leave it to me.
[00:31] Libra (Mizusawa)
This is a job for a locksmith's son.
[00:36] Narrator (Yuzu)
There, in the middle of the

[01:42] Narrator (Yuzu)
Having escaped execution thanks
to Alucia's quick thinking,

Libra began working as a caretaker
for both the dragon and Kris.
[01:51] Kris (Hanabi)
Here, eat up.
[01:53] Kris (Hanabi)
They're medicinal herbs Libra gathered
in the valley of the flying dragons.
[01:59] Libra (Mizusawa)
Yes—it ate them!
[02:01] Libra (Mizusawa)
Now I know it'll be able to fly!
[02:05] Kris (Hanabi)
It's not flying.
[02:07] Libra (Mizusawa)
D-Don't look at me like that.
[02:13] Narrator (Yuzu)
Some months passed...
[02:16] Kris (Hanabi)
Alucia! Did you really win
the magicraft competition?!
[02:20] Libra (Mizusawa)
That's amazing!
[02:22] Alucia (Aoi)
I don't care how I placed.
[02:24] Alucia (Aoi)
I just wanted this:
[02:26] Alucia (Aoi)
a gem that increases magic power.
[02:29] Alucia (Aoi)
This will definitely get
that dragon off the ground!
[02:33] Kris (Hanabi)
I really must thank you, Alucia.
[02:36] Kris (Hanabi)
What do you want?
[02:38] Alucia (Aoi)
What do I want...?
[02:43] Alucia (Aoi)
I guess maybe there isn't anything I want.
[02:46] Kris (Hanabi)
Huh?
[02:47] Alucia (Aoi)
I just work hard every day, because
I'll eventually have to be queen.
[02:53] Kris (Hanabi)
"Just" nothing—that's really fantastic!
[02:56] Alucia (Aoi)
I think you misunderstand me, Kris.
[03:00] Alucia (Aoi)
I have everything. And yet...
[03:05] Alucia (Aoi)
that's why I have nothing at all.
[03:14] Alucia (Aoi)
Goodness!
[03:16] Alucia (Aoi)
What a strange thing to say!
[03:18] Alucia (Aoi)
All right:
[03:18] Alucia (Aoi)
let's test out this gem!
[03:23] Kris (Hanabi)
It's not flying.
[03:26] Alucia (Aoi)
D-Don't look at me like that.
[03:31] Libra (Mizusawa)
Say, Kris... flying dragons
can read people's minds.
[03:34] Kris (Hanabi)
Their minds?
[03:36] Libra (Mizusawa)
They're kind, too.
[03:38] Libra (Mizusawa)
They never forget all they owe
to the human who raises them,
[03:42] Libra (Mizusawa)
and they do all they can to
grant that person's wishes.
[03:46] Kris (Hanabi)
Uh-huh...
[03:47] Libra (Mizusawa)
Kris...
[03:49] Libra (Mizusawa)
you don't want to fly, do you?
[03:54] Kris (Hanabi)
Maybe not.
[03:56] Kris (Hanabi)
I've always thought I wanted
to leave this garden.
[04:02] Kris (Hanabi)
But now...
[04:05] Kris (Hanabi)
The outside world had been
something I'd yearned for.
[04:09] Kris (Hanabi)
But... while listening
to your stories about it,
[04:13] Kris (Hanabi)
I found myself getting scared.
[04:16] Libra (Mizusawa)
Scared?
[04:17] Kris (Hanabi)
After all,
[04:19] Kris (Hanabi)
I don't know anything about
what it's like out there,
[04:21] Kris (Hanabi)
or what kind of people I'll find.
[04:25] Kris (Hanabi)
Could I even find my place in that world?
[04:29] Kris (Hanabi)
Would other people accept me?
[04:32] Libra (Mizusawa)
In that case, Kris...
[04:34] Libra (Mizusawa)
we'll go flying together!
[05:03] Tomozaki
Nice.
[05:06] Narrator (Yuzu)
The dragon took to the air
with no issues at all.
[05:09] Narrator (Yuzu)
Kris got permission to leave the castle,
[05:11] Narrator (Yuzu)
and Libra took her to the village.
[05:15] Kris (Hanabi)
Wow!
[05:16] Old Lady (Kashiwazaki)
Ah! Ow ow ow...
[05:17] Libra (Mizusawa) & Alucia (Aoi)
Are you all right?
[05:19] Kris (Hanabi)
I'm sorry, ma'am!
[05:21] Greengrocer (Takei)
You have to pay money
for the things you want!
[05:24] Kris (Hanabi)
I-I'm sorry!
[05:26] Greengrocer (Takei)
You can't just take things—that
makes you a thief!
[05:29] Girl (Seno)
Calm down, Father.
[05:31] Alucia (Aoi)
I apologize. This girl is unfamiliar
with the ways of the world...
[05:35] Libra (Mizusawa)
Well, I'm against it.
[05:38] Libra (Mizusawa)
You shouldn't be working
in the outside world.
[05:41] Kris (Hanabi)
Why not?
[05:43] Libra (Mizusawa)
I'm sure you have other
paths you could follow.
[05:48] Kris (Hanabi)
Like what?!
[05:49] Kris (Hanabi)
Do you want me to live here
in this garden forever?
[05:52] Libra (Mizusawa)
No, that's not what I...
[05:54] Kris (Hanabi)
Tell me...
[05:56] Kris (Hanabi)
what's so wrong about me wanting to
see the same world everyone else does?
[06:02] Kris (Hanabi)
Why can't I get along with everyone?
[06:06] Kris (Hanabi)
Why don't I know the things
everyone takes for granted?
[06:10] Kris (Hanabi)
Am I... an entirely different creature?
[06:14] Kris (Hanabi)
Tell me, Libra...
[06:20] Narrator (Yuzu)
Some days later...
[06:23] Libra (Mizusawa)
Read this, Kris.
[06:26] Kris (Hanabi)
A letter, for me? From who?
[06:30] Kris (Hanabi)
"Thank you for the beautiful
crown. It made me so happy."
[06:37] Libra (Mizusawa)
It's from the greengrocer's daughter.
[06:39] Libra (Mizusawa)
I gave her one of your handmade
flower-crowns for her birthday. She loved it.
[06:45] Libra (Mizusawa)
Hence the letter.
[06:47] Kris (Hanabi)
My floral work did that...?
[06:50] Libra (Mizusawa)
That old woman we bumped into?
You made her happy, too.
[06:55] Libra (Mizusawa)
Don't you see?
[06:58] Libra (Mizusawa)
So many people have smiles on their
faces because of your flowers.
[07:03] Libra (Mizusawa)
You do have a place in the world.
[07:05] Libra (Mizusawa)
And you're not a different creature.
[07:08] Kris (Hanabi)
Uh-huh...
[07:10] Libra (Mizusawa)
So c'mon...
[07:14] Libra (Mizusawa)
Fly! On your own wings this time!
[07:30] Tomozaki
Now for the ending.
[07:33] Kris (Hanabi)
Well... here I go.
[07:36] Libra (Mizusawa)
You can always come back
if things get too tough.
[07:40] Alucia (Aoi)
I won't be that soft on you.
[07:43] Alucia (Aoi)
You go become the best
flower artisan around—
[07:47] Alucia (Aoi)
and you'll come home not to the garden,
[07:51] Alucia (Aoi)
but to the castle, Kris!
[07:53] Kris (Hanabi)
You got it!
[07:57] Kris (Hanabi)
Yes...
[07:58] Kris (Hanabi)
This is what I should be doing.
[08:02] Kris (Hanabi)
At long last,
[08:04] Kris (Hanabi)
I've found my own way to fly!
[08:09] Tomozaki
It's over...
[08:11] Tomozaki
and it was a success!
[08:15] Alucia (Aoi)
Libra!
[08:16] Alucia (Aoi)
We've got a letter from Kris!
[08:19] Libra (Mizusawa)
Really?
[08:21] Libra (Mizusawa)
What's she say?
[08:23] Kris (Hanabi)
"Dear Libra and Alucia,
[08:27] Kris (Hanabi)
"I'm sorry I haven't come to visit.
[08:31] Kris (Hanabi)
"I'm doing well.
[08:32] Kris (Hanabi)
"I have my own atelier now."
[08:36] Tomozaki
I don't know this part...
[08:40] Kris (Hanabi)
"I've heard the news about you two.
[08:43] Kris (Hanabi)
"So you finally got the
king's permission, huh?
[08:47] Kris (Hanabi)
"Congratulations on your marriage!
[08:53] Kris (Hanabi)
"I'm giving you both my very best
floral decoration, with my thanks.
[09:00] Kris (Hanabi)
"Libra, Alucia. May every happiness be yours!
[09:05] Kris (Hanabi)
"Best wishes, Kris!"
[09:17] Tomozaki
This story—it's Kikuchi's story.
[09:20] Tomozaki
Kris is Kikuchi,
[09:22] Tomozaki
and my behavior is reflected in Libra.
[09:27] Tomozaki
If those two didn't wind up together...
[09:32] Tomozaki
This must be
[09:34] Tomozaki
Kikuchi's answer.
SIGN Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki S2
[09:42] Tomozaki
Right. I guess that's life
for you. It's one tough game.
[09:47] Tomozaki
It's unreasonable; the more
you try, the harder it gets;
[09:53] Tomozaki
there are way more things that
go wrong than go right...
[09:57] Tomozaki
But... it's not a garbage game.
[10:02] Tomozaki
I'll rest for a bit. And then...
[10:05] Tomozaki
I'll go back to this game called "life."
[10:09] Mimimi
Tomozaki!
[10:16] Tomozaki
Mimimi...
[10:20] Mimimi
The play...
[10:22] Mimimi
Did it mean what I think it means?
[10:26] Mimimi
Libra is you, and Alucia is Aoi...
[10:30] Mimimi
and Kris is Kikuchi.
[10:32] Mimimi
I want to be talking about how great
it was, how much I enjoyed it.
[10:39] Mimimi
But that scene at the end—and you and
Kikuchi avoiding each other afterward...
[10:46] Mimimi
It's just weird! You both
worked so hard on it!
[10:50] Mimimi
It's weird for you two not to be together
after a huge success like that!
[10:57] Tomozaki
I guess so. I...
[11:00] Tomozaki
She turned me down.
[11:12] Tomozaki
Mimimi...
[11:18] Mimimi
Kikuchi's in the library!
[11:21] Mimimi
The play can't be the only
way she gives you her answer!
[11:26] Mimimi
Brain!
[11:27] Mimimi
Aren't you the best gamer around?
[11:30] Mimimi
Then stick with it to the bitter end,
till you know for sure it's over!
[11:40] Tomozaki
Thanks.
[11:42] Tomozaki
I'll go there now.
[12:14] Fuka
Tomozaki...
[12:18] Tomozaki
Listen...
[12:19] Fuka
Yes?
[12:22] Tomozaki
About that last scene...
[12:24] Tomozaki
That's how it all turns out, huh?
[12:28] Fuka
I'm sorry.
[12:30] Tomozaki
No apology necessary.
[12:36] Fuka
That's...
[12:39] Fuka
the conclusion I chose.
[12:42] Tomozaki
It's probably not my place to ask why...
[12:48] Tomozaki
but I'd still like to know.
[12:51] Fuka
I'd been thinking...
[12:54] Fuka
It's true that Kris might like Libra.
[12:58] Fuka
She really does feel like she
wants to be with him forever.
[13:03] Tomozaki
You mean...
[13:05] Fuka
But...
[13:06] Fuka
Alucia must be with Libra.
[13:11] Tomozaki
Wait—why?
[13:14] Fuka
Alucia is clever but empty: a girl
who's missing the part at her core.
[13:21] Fuka
And Libra is awkward but curious:
a boy with things he wants to do.
[13:27] Fuka
They're complete opposites...
[13:31] Fuka
which is why they'd make an ideal couple.
[13:35] Tomozaki
"Ideal"...?
[13:38] Tomozaki
What happened to being
true to yourself instead?
[13:41] Fuka
At first I thought it would work.
[13:44] Fuka
But...
SIGN Sekitomo High School Culture Festival Play My Unfamiliar Way to Fly
[13:46] Fuka
It turns out I was wrong.
SIGN Sekitomo High School Culture Festival Play My Unfamiliar Way to Fly
[13:49] Fuka
I was satisfied with what
you told me at first,
[13:53] Fuka
that I shouldn't approach life
itself from an author's viewpoint
[13:58] Fuka
and that I should try to face my own emotions
[14:01] Fuka
without forcing them to
fit the world's ideals.
[14:05] Fuka
When I did,
[14:06] Fuka
the world looked so vivid—like
the world Libra showed Kris.
[14:12] Fuka
I thought, "Wow, Tomozaki really is amazing."
[14:17] Tomozaki
Then...
[14:19] Fuka
But that doesn't work for me.
[14:25] Fuka
To live according to one's own emotions
[14:28] Fuka
in this story we call the world...
[14:30] Fuka
It's too selfish with regard to
how the other characters feel.
[14:37] Fuka
So I'm going to rein myself in and
live in a way I can see as sincere.
[14:44] Fuka
That's my conclusion.
[14:47] Fuka
Because that's how I want to live.
[14:52] Fuka
And yet—I can't forget...
SIGN Sekitomo High School Culture Festival Play My Unfamiliar Way to Fly
[14:56] Fuka
I can't forget the glittering scenery
and the world all a-sparkle,
[15:00] Fuka
like it was in the other ending.
[15:05] Fuka
Even though that's just selfish!
[15:11] Tomozaki
We're the same.
[15:13] Tomozaki
Do you remember, Kikuchi?
[15:15] Tomozaki
Until very recently, I'd been
ignoring the world at large.
[15:20] Tomozaki
I had no interest in ideals.
[15:22] Tomozaki
I lived in freedom, prioritizing
my desires over anything else.
[15:28] Tomozaki
But then I met a certain magician
SIGN Ultimate Goal To be as satisfied with offline life as I am
[15:31] Tomozaki
who taught me how to live
with an ideal in sight.
[15:35] Tomozaki
So I gave it an honest try,
and started seeing results.
[15:40] Tomozaki
But along the way, I thought:
This isn't working after all.
[15:45] Tomozaki
Using skills to get by feels
insincere to me somehow.
[15:50] Tomozaki
But being honest to my
emotions—that was sincere.
[15:56] Tomozaki
Does that sound familiar?
[16:01] Tomozaki
I started with emotions and
learned how to aim for an ideal.
[16:06] Tomozaki
You started with an ideal world and
learned how to be true to your emotions.
[16:13] Tomozaki
We're opposites.
SIGN Sekitomo High School Culture Festival Play My Unfamiliar Way to Fly
[16:16] Tomozaki
Do you know what I did?
[16:20] Tomozaki
I embraced both:
[16:22] Tomozaki
ideals and emotions.
[16:24] Tomozaki
All I had to do was make the
effort to have both at once.
[16:29] Tomozaki
The same goes for you.
[16:32] Fuka
For me... too?
[16:34] Tomozaki
You don't have to pick just one.
[16:36] Tomozaki
You can do your honest best to have both.
[16:40] Tomozaki
Simple, right?
[16:43] Fuka
But...
[16:47] Fuka
I don't know how.
[16:50] Fuka
If Libra is meant to be with Alucia,
[16:53] Fuka
and I twist that plot just for
the sake of my own emotions...
[16:57] Fuka
Isn't that just selfish?
[17:02] Tomozaki
In Kikuchi's version of the world's ideals,
[17:05] Tomozaki
the two of us aren't meant to be.
[17:10] Tomozaki
On the other hand, I'm
pretty sure she likes me.
[17:15] Tomozaki
She has to make that contradiction work.
[17:19] Tomozaki
And, yes, as she says,
[17:22] Tomozaki
it might be tough in the fictional
world of Kris, Libra, and Alucia.
[17:30] Tomozaki
But in this world? It's a cinch.
[17:35] Tomozaki
I've got it, Kikuchi. There
is one foolproof method.
[17:41] Tomozaki
It was that simple.
[17:44] Tomozaki
If Kikuchi can't twist how she
thinks the world should be
[17:49] Tomozaki
based only on her own emotions...
[17:54] Tomozaki
I like you, Kikuchi. I
want us to be a couple.
[18:00] Tomozaki
I, Fumiya Tomozaki, should choose Kikuchi.
[18:08] Tomozaki
Remember what you said?
[18:10] Fuka
Huh?
[18:12] Tomozaki
Libra and Alucia each have what the
other lacks, so they belong together.
[18:19] Tomozaki
Don't you think the same
goes for Libra and Kris?
[18:24] Tomozaki
Fretting over the same things,
but in opposite order—
[18:27] Tomozaki
and we find that our words gave
each other a way to move forward.
[18:32] Tomozaki
Even from an author's perspective
on this story of life,
[18:37] Tomozaki
don't you think this
relationship is pretty ideal?
[18:45] Fuka
You know...
[18:47] Fuka
Libra was always good at opening locks.
[18:50] Tomozaki
Uh-huh. And remember what the Popple said:

"Words are magic."
