[01:31] Tomozaki
So how does that sound?
[01:33] Aoi
I suppose I could help out
that much, anyway.
[01:36] Tomozaki
Excellent! Please do!
SIGN 2nd Stage: Lv. 2 A happy ending doesn't mean this game is over
[01:41] Yuzu
Do you really think that'll be
[01:43] Yuzu
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
[02:20] Tomozaki
to hit their mark according to plan.
[02:34] Yuzu
That's our Erika!
[02:35] Takei
Wow, a home run!
SIGN Girls' Softball
[02:41] Tomozaki
My strategy was a success.
[02:43] Tomozaki
All three arrows scored critical hits.
[02:49] Tomozaki
The final boss has been defeated.
SIGN Yuzu Izumi: Conversation: A / Academics: C Sports: B Friendship: A / Effort: B
[02:53] Tomozaki
The first arrow was Izumi.
SIGN Classroom / Konno's Motivation Meter / Day/Month
[02:56] Yuzu
Say, Erika...
[02:57] Yuzu
Now that I'm captain and all,
could you help me out?
[03:01] Yuzu
We may as well make this fun for everyone.
[03:04] Tomozaki
Konno apparently has
a real soft spot for her friends,
SIGN ...
[03:08] Tomozaki
and here's her pal Izumi
asking her to pitch in.
SIGN Aoi Hinami: Conversation: S / Academics: S Sports: S / Friendship: A / Effort: S
[03:12] Tomozaki
Next, the second arrow: Hinami.
SIGN Gym / Konno's Motivation Meter / Day/Month
[03:15] Aoi
Got a second, Mika?
[03:16] Akiyama
What is it?
[03:18] Aoi
Erika's going to be in the game, right?
[03:20] Aoi
Usually everyone participates.
[03:22] Akiyama
Good question. Beats me.
[03:24] Aoi
Erika doesn't look like
the softball type, after all.
[03:28] Aoi
If she's not up to it, tell her she
can get by with, like, one pinch-hit.
[03:32] Aoi
Then you can leave everything else up to me!
SIGN Gym / Konno's Motivation Meter / Day/Month
SIGN Erika!
[03:37] Akiyama
Erika!
SIGN Blah, blah, yadda yadda
[03:38] Akiyama
Blah, blah, yadda yadda...
SIGN Takahiro Mizusawa: Conversation: S Academics: A / Sports: A / Friendship: A / Effort: D
[03:42] Tomozaki
And the third arrow, Mizusawa.
SIGN Classroom / Konno's Motivation Meter / Day/Month
[03:45] Mizusawa
Hey, Erika.
[03:46] Mizusawa
Shuji says he's looking
forward to the sports tournament.
[03:50] Mizusawa
Yeah, he's one of those
athletic guys, y'know?
[03:52] Mizusawa
And girls who are good
at sports? Totally his type.
[03:56] Tomozaki
I think this one might actually be
the most effective.
[04:00] Tomozaki
I mean...
SIGN Way Home / Konno's Motivation Meter / Day/Month
[04:01] Tomozaki
Konno doesn't even know
yet that Nakamura and Izumi are dating.
[04:06] Tomozaki
Could be a little distracting, though...
SIGN Girls' Softball
[04:17] Mimimi
I'm going for a home run!
SIGN Girls' Softball
[04:31] Tomozaki
"I want to make my friend Izumi happy."
[04:34] Tomozaki
"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
SIGN Lay-Up Shots
[05:11] Aoi
Lay-up practice.
[05:13] Aoi
Stay in a position
where you can aim for a basket,
[05:15] Aoi
and whenever you get
the ball, make the shot.
[05:18] Aoi
If you can contribute to a win with that,
[05:21] Aoi
you'll gain an
in with the athletic types, too,
[05:23] Aoi
like Tachibana.
[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.
[05:56] Referee
You're outta here!
[06:00] Mimimi
That's Brain for you!
[06:06] Referee
And that's the game!
SIGN Victory
[06:11] Mizusawa
Shake it off, Fumiya.
[06:13] Tomozaki
Can it, will you?
[06:14] Takei
Army Boy! Who gets ejected
in the first thirty seconds?
[06:17] Nakamura
You really flopped it out there, Fumin.
[06:20] Tachibana
Man, that was amazing!
[06:22] Tomozaki
Spare me, Tachibana...
[06:25] Tomozaki
And in the end,
[06:27] Tomozaki
both our teams came in first place,
SIGN Congrats to This Year's Winners! / 2-2 / Boys' Basketball: 1st / Girls' Softball: 1st
[06:31] Tomozaki
clinching our class's victory this year.
[06:34] Takei
We're number one!
[06:39] Tomozaki
Fantastic!
[06:41] Mimimi
Victory hugs!
[06:42] Tomozaki
Everyone's really enjoying themselves.
[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.
[11:08] Aoi
Well, proceed carefully,
so things don't get worse.
[11:14] Aoi
You can go without
an assignment for a while.
[11:16] Tomozaki
Got it.
[11:23] Konno
Like, what gives?
SIGN I know, right?
[11:25] Konno
For real?
SIGN That's what he said!
[11:28] Konno
Too funny!
SIGN I was over the moon!
[11:32] Hanabi
Konno!
[11:35] Hanabi
How long are you going to do this?
[11:37] Hanabi
Enough nonsense! Cut it out already!
SIGN Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki S2
[11:43] Hanabi
How long are you going to do this?
[11:46] Hanabi
Enough nonsense! Cut it out already!
[11:49] Konno
Huh? What are you talking about?
[11:51] Hanabi
Don't give me that!
[11:53] Hanabi
Just because Nakamura's taken
doesn't mean you can lash out at people!
[11:57] Konno
Huh...
[12:10] Konno
Ooh, Hanabi!
[12:11] Konno
You okay? You're shaking like a leaf.
[12:15] Hanabi
Shut up!
[12:16] Konno
Ow...
[12:20] Hanabi
I-I didn't hit you that hard--
[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.
[16:33] Tomozaki
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!

while Mimimi is looking after Tama,

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

If all goes well,

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...

This thing with Erika Konno and everybody...

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.
