SIGN    Because the School Is There
[01:37] Chio
    Oh, crap! I'm going to be late!
[01:40] Chio
    Okay, stay calm...
[01:42] Chio
    I'm currently somewhere around
    here, and school is over there.
[01:46] Chio
    According to my calculations,
    I'll just barely make it.
[01:49] Chio
    If I turn here and then go straight...
[01:58] Chio
    If I just go...
[02:01] Chio
    straight through here...

SIGN    Detour Map
[02:09] Chio
    I didn't hear anything about construction!
[02:11] Chio
    You can't be serious!
    And this detour is so out of the way!
[02:13] Chio
    Why is this happening?
    What did I do to deserve this?
SIGN    Three Hours Prior
[02:28] Chio
    All right! Assassination complete!
[02:31] Chio
    I'm glad I took my time!
[02:32] Chio
    Now, I just need to run...
[02:34] Chio
    Oh, crap! They found me!
[02:36] Chio
    Damn it! They're so persistent!
[02:38] Chio
    A dead end?
[02:39] Chio
    Don't you dare underestimate... my skills!
[02:49] Chio
    All right! I beat it!
[02:59] Chio
    Wait. I brought this upon myself.
[03:02] Chio
    I totally fell asleep at the door.
[03:02] (Flashback) Mom
    Wha... Chio?! Hey!
[03:05] Chio
    This isn't good.
[03:05] Chio bg
    Wait, what's that blood?
[03:06] Chio
    My school makes an example
    out of kids who are tardy.
[03:09] Chio
    I'll have to stand with the delinquents.
[03:10] Chio
    It's scary, it draws attention
    to me, and it sucks!
[03:13] Chio
    What am I going to do? At this rate...
[03:21] Chio
    If I were to climb up this pole, could
    I actually just keep going straight?
[03:26] Chio
    No way... I've been playing
    way too many video games.
[03:30] Chio
    I'm just a high school girl,
    not some legendary assassin.
[03:33] Chio
    Jeez, I'm way too easily influenced.
[03:35] Chio
    Is this what they call "game brain"?
[03:39] Chio
    I'll be good and just turn back...
[04:08] Chio
    That didn't go the way
    I thought it would at all!
[04:10] Chio
    Man, now my uniform's dirty!
[04:13] Chio
    But now I can move ahead.
[04:16] Chio
    I think I'll take this shortcut
    a little further...

    Wait, the road's closed?
[04:31] Guy 2
    Seriously?

    Shh...
[05:54] Chio
    Hey... I think...
[05:59] Chio
    This might actually be fun...
[06:15] Chio
    It's so pretty...
[06:19] Chio
    I seriously sort of feel like I'm
    an assassin from a video game.
[06:24] Chio
    I feel like I'm doing something naughty.
[06:26] Chio
    I cut off my middle finger
    so I can use my hidden weapon.
[06:29] Chio
    I am the legendary assassin...
[06:34] Chio
    I may take risks, but I'm never late...
    That is my creed.
[06:41] Guy
    Man, it's bright.
[06:43] Guy
    I could've sworn someone was out here.
[06:45] Guy
    I must've imagined it.
[06:48] Chio
    Thank goodness. He didn't see me.
[06:53] Guy
    The sun's working overtime today!
[06:55] Chio
    He's just brushing his teeth...
    It shouldn't take long.
[07:14] Chio
    Glasses guard!
[07:20] Chio
    If I move away slowly,
    everything should be okay!
[07:25] Chio
    My dad does this, too!
[07:27] Chio
    Why do old guys always gag
    when they brush their teeth?!
SIGN    Regrets It 5 Minutes Later
[07:40] Chio
    I never should have done this!
[07:44] Chio
    Oh, crap! I didn't actually
    have time to play assassin!
[07:47] Chio
    I need to get down!
[07:52] Chio
    There's my school. I'm getting closer.
[07:55] Chio
    I need a spot that'll be easy to get down...
[07:58] Chio
    Somewhere no one will see me... Somewhere...
[08:04] Chio
    Huh? Don't tell me I've actually...
[08:07] Chio
    been checkmated.
[08:09] Chio
    This distance...
[08:12] Chio
    is not a distance I can jump, is it?
[08:15] Chio
    I could get down if I use my hands, but...

    If I want to live a normal school life,
[08:37] Chio
    I can't stand out, no matter what!
[08:39] Chio
    What should I do? Go back the way
    I came? But I don't have time...
[08:44] Chio
    What's all that racket?
[08:49] Mom
    Oh, dear...
[08:54] Chio
    Oh, I see. His balloon got stuck in a tree.
[08:58] Chio
    I could probably reach it from here...
[09:00] Chio
    But I can't afford to be seen.
[09:03] Chio
    Sorry, little guy.
[09:06] ---
    There's a tall guy.
[09:08] Mom
    Um, excuse me.
[09:10] Mom
    My son's balloon got stuck in this tree...
[09:13] Guy
    Oh, yes, I see it. I shouldn't
    have any problem reaching it.
[09:19] Mom
    Um, could you do that for us?
[09:21] Guy
    No.
[09:23] Guy
    Why would I bother?
[09:27] Guy
    Oh, or are we talking business here?
[09:29] Guy
    Does this come with a contingency fee?
[09:31] Guy
    What about expenses?
    What would be considered a failure?

[10:00] Chio
    Except I can't really move right now...
[10:03] Chio
    I need to figure out a way I won't be late.
[10:07] Chio
    All I have on hand is this pebble...
[10:09] Guy
    It's so much fun mocking the poor.
[10:12] Chio
    Hey, he's coming this way—
[10:17] Chio
    If there's anything I've learned from staying
    up all night playing video games...
[10:23] Chio
    Even if something seems impossible,
    you can always create your own path.
[10:27] Chio
    And there's one other thing...

[10:56] Chio
    The thing I hate most...
[10:58] Chio
    is standing out.
[11:03] Chio
    Okay! It actually worked!
    And I totally stuck that landing!
[11:07] Chio
    Woohoo!
[11:10] Chio
    All right! I might actually make it in time!
[11:17] Guy
    He just collapsed out of nowhere.
[11:19] Lady
    Is he drunk?
[11:20] Guy
    Should we take him to the hospital?
[11:23] Mom
    Takkun! Your balloon came down!
[11:26] Mom
    There's a pebble tied to the bottom...
    Was someone up there?
[11:30] Boy
    I know who it was!
[11:31] Boy
    I saw her. Someone who helps those in need...
[11:35] Boy
    That was... an assassin!
[11:38] Boy
    I saw one in Daddy's game!
[11:41] Mom
    I see.
[11:44] Mom
    What's he talking about?
[11:46] Chio
    Oh, this looks good.
[11:51] Chio
    I can finally get back to my usual route.
[11:54] Chio
    Is this some parking lot?
[11:56] Chio
    I didn't know what I was
    going to do for a sec,
[11:58] Chio
    but I somehow managed to
    make it straight through.
[12:01] Chio
    I'm pretty sure no one saw me on the roof,
[12:04] Chio
    so my peaceful school life should be safe.
[12:07] Chio
    Now to just steady my breathing...
[12:11] Chio
    and boldly step out.
[12:13] Chio
    Boldly, so no one will
    think I'm suspicious...
[12:17] Chio
    What's with that guy?
    Why's he looking at me?
[12:19] Chio
    He's staring hard with his pervy eyes.
    He's totally dangerous!
[12:24] Chio
    Is he targeting me because I look weak?
[12:26] Chio
    All the more reason to do this boldly.
[12:31] Chio
    Boldly!
[12:36] Chio
    Well? How do you like
    my calm and cool nature?
[12:40] Chio
    Not even a perv would have
    the guts to talk to me.

    I guess it's not so bad
    to leave early sometimes.
[14:09] Chio
    I wonder what it is... The scenery

    talking to me?

    Hosokawa Yuki-san.
[14:42] Chio
    She's always hanging out
    with the cool kids in class.
[14:45] Chio
    I need to go to the bathroom,
[14:46] Chio
    but they seem to be having a fun
    conversation, so I'll go from the other side.
[14:50] Chio
    She's my polar opposite.
[14:57] Chio
    This is just one of those things where
    her friend is right behind me
[14:57] Chio
    Morning!
SIGN    Me
[15:01] Chio
    and she's actually saying hi to them, right?
[15:04] Chio
    That must be it.
[15:05] Chio
    I heard that Hosokawa-san's on
    the track team and is pretty famous.
[15:09] Chio
    She's popular and has lots of friends.
[15:11] Chio
    There's no way she'd be saying hi to
    someone as below average as me.
[15:15] Chio
    But if she is actually greeting
    me and I ignore it...
[15:16] Yuki
    Morning!
[15:21] Chio
    Th-That could get pretty messy, too...

    Oh, my foot. Uh-oh.
[15:50] Chio
    ...is this!
[15:52] Chio
    Dive head-first into the garbage!
[15:53] Chio
    And while I'm down here,
    nonchalantly check behind me.
[15:59] ---
    Th-There's no one there.
[16:02] ---
    Wait, that means...
[16:03] Hoso
    M-Miyamo-san, are you okay?!
    I must've startled you!
[16:07] Hoso
    Are you hurt?
[16:08] Chio
    No, I'm fine.
[16:09] Chio
    So she was talking to me!
[16:10] Hoso
    Can you stand?
[16:11] Chio
    Wait, Hosokawa-san's actually super nice!
[16:13] Chio
    Sorry about that. Thanks.
[16:15] Chio
    At least I avoided a disaster there.
[16:24] Chio
    I-I-I'm so nervous...
[16:26] Chio
    I guess I would end up walking
    with her after all that.
SIGN    Ookawara Stationery Right around the corner
[16:31] Chio
    Come to think of it, the Ookawara Stationery
    mentioned on the telephone pole...
[16:35] Chio
    I've never actually seen the place in person.
[16:38] Chio
    I wonder if it closed up a long time ago.
[16:40] Chio
    Wait, does that mean they're still
    paying for that advertisement?
SIGN    Ookawara Stationery
[16:44] Chio
    It was probably a quiet little
    stationery store in some back alley.
[16:48] Chio
    They're closed up now,
[16:51] Chio
    but when some kid who used to get
    school supplies there comes back,
[16:54] Chio
    they should still be able to find it,
    even though the town's changed.
SIGN    Ookawara Stationery
[16:57] Chio
    Now, they're just standing in front
    of the shop that's out of business,
[17:03] Chio
    when an old lady comes out and says...
[17:06] Old
    My! That little crybaby
    grew up into a fine young—
[17:09] Chio
    Crap! This isn't the time to escape reality!
[17:12] Chio
    This is a trial that has been given to me,
    a member of the "below average" club...
[17:16] Chio
    We might not end up being best buds,
[17:16] Chio bg
    Its face was so squishy.
[17:18] Chio
    but we should at least laugh
    like this a couple times,
[17:21] Chio
    and end this walk to school on good terms!
[17:21] Chio
    Okay, I'm going to class.
[17:23] Yuki
    See you later!
[17:25] Chio
    I mean, even if we left on
    somewhat friendly terms,
[17:28] Chio
    as soon as we got to class, we'd be taking
    up our usual positions in separate groups...
[17:33] Chio
    No! Stop being so negative, damn it!
[17:36] Chio
    At times like these, we're supposed to
    talk about something we have in common!
[17:39] Chio
    Something we have in common...
    The fact that we're both in sports clubs.

[17:43] Chio
    Cough, cough...

    S-Say... Um, uh...
[17:49] Chio
    Club?
[17:53] Yuki
    Hm?
[17:55] Chio
    I freaked out and asked
    some strange question!
[17:57] Chio
    What the hell is "Club?" supposed to mean?!
[18:00] Chio
    "What kind of practice
    do you do in your club?"
[18:02] Chio
    "We run."
[18:03] Chio
    "Oh, really?"
[18:04] Chio
    Wait, that's the end of that.

    Hey, Yuki!
[18:09] Girl 2
    Morning!

    Morning!

    Hey, they're... Hosokawa-san's friends.
[18:15] Chio
    I-I'm saved!
[18:22] Chio
    Hosokawa-san's completely distracted.
[18:25] Chio
    Now's my chance...
[18:28] Chio
    SWAT turn!
[18:31] Nar
    Allow me to explain. The SWAT turn
[18:33] Nar
    is an action from a certain game that
    Chio-chan plays late into the night daily

    and can only be used by awakening
    her inner game brain.

[19:00] Chio
    I mean, there's no way around it.
[19:01] Chio
    If she's with her friends, my place
    will be gone, and I'll just disappear.
[19:07] Lady
    Here you go.
[19:07] Chio
    I mean, a member of the "below
    average" club like me disappearing
[19:10] Chio
    isn't much different than
    a pack of free tissues
[19:13] Chio
    you got in front of the station
    just suddenly disappearing.
[19:16] Chio
    I'm sure she didn't even notice.
[19:18] Chio
    I feel so much more at ease being

    "Sacrifice"...
[19:20] Chio
    in a convenience store bathroom
    than being stuck with a classmate.
[19:23] Chio
    I see this in foreign video games a lot.
    I think it means sacrifice...
[19:23] Chio
    I'm such... a small, small person...
[19:29] Chio
    That should probably be long enough.
[19:31] Chio
    Man, I just copied the
    SWAT turn from that game,

    live in the darkness.
[19:40] Chio
    Hey, the new issue of "Gaming News."
[19:44] Chio
    I don't have much time, so I'll
    just check the new releases...
[19:48] Chio
    Ooh, a Japanese localized
    version's coming out.
[19:58] Chio
    What?!
[20:01] Guy
    Thanks, come again!
[20:02] Chio
    Oh? Hosokawa-san?
    I thought you went on ahead!
[20:06] Yuki
    Well, we were in the
    middle of a conversation.
[20:08] Chio
    Is this girl serious?!
[20:10] Chio
    But what about your friends?
[20:11] Yuki
    They went on ahead.
[20:13] Chio
    I suddenly—
[20:15] Yuki
    Wait! It's okay.
[20:19] Yuki
    Miyamo-san, your stomach...
    is sensitive, right?
[20:25] Chio
    Oh, I see.
[20:26] [SONG] Sign
    Open to
    everyone
[20:27] Chio
    So she knew I was in the
    bathroom that whole time, too.
[20:30] Chio
    That means... I left without a word,
    struggled all that time in the bathroom,
[20:34] Chio
    and then kept her waiting even
    longer by reading a magazine!
[20:36] Chio
    I'm total scum!
[20:41] Yuki
    Huh? Miyamo-san?
[20:43] Chio
    I'm fine. We should hurry.
[20:45] Yuki
    Huh?
[20:46] Chio
    We don't have much time!
[20:48] Yuki
    Oh, you're right!
[20:50] Chio
    Jeez... I'm just awful.
[20:54] Chio
    Hosokawa-san went out of
    her way to be nice to me,
[20:57] Chio
    yet I doubted her, and even ran away...
[20:59] Chio
    I want to be friends with Hosokawa-san, too.
[21:02] Teach
    You'd better hurry up!
[21:04] Chio
    We're already at school.
[21:06] Chio
    I lost my chance to say it back there, but...
[21:09] Chio
    There's something I have to tell you.
[21:13] Chio
    Before we get to class...
[21:14] Chio
    and get separated again!
[21:18] Chio
    Um, Hosokawa-san!
[21:20] Chio
    I should have said this earlier, but...
[21:25] Chio
    Um... G-Good morning!
[21:30] Guy 1
    Is she my fan?
[21:31] Guy 2
    She said that to me.
[21:32] Guy 3
    I guess she's doable.
[21:34] Guy 4
    Does she want me?
[21:37] Chio
    Crap. Now I've done it.
[21:40] Chio
    Damn, Hosokawa-san's fast...
[21:43] Yuki
    Running's so much fun!
