**[00:11] Sak**
Right!
***SIGN*** Going Home Club
***SIGN*** Fire Prevention Supervisor: "It's #7"
**[01:59] Sak**
Sorry I kept you waiting!
**[02:02] Sak**
It's just you here, Natsuki-chan?
**[02:05] Sak**
Where's everyone else?
**[02:07] Nat**
Um, Karin is...
**[02:08] (Flashback) Kar**
I-It's due today?!
**[02:11] Nat**
She went to turn in a handout
that she had forgotten was due.
**[02:14] Sak**
I see.
**[02:16] Sak**
So what about the other two?
**[02:18] (Flashback) Cla**
We don't want anything to happen to you.
**[02:20] (Flashback) Bot**
I'll escort you to the faculty room.
**[02:22] Nat**
They were worried about her,
so they tagged along.
**[02:24] Sak**
They coddle her too much.
**[02:26] Sak**
Well, until they get back, why don't
we play Word Chain or something?
**[02:31] Nat**
Playing Word Chain because we're bored almost
seems too tame, compared to your usual ideas.
**[02:35] Sak**
I thought you'd say that!
**[02:37] Nat**
Huh?
**[02:38] Sak**
But what we're about to play is
no ordinary game of Word Chain!
**[02:43] Sak**
We'll be using these Taboo Cards!
**[02:46] Nat**
Taboo Cards?!
**[02:48] Nar**
Taboo Card Rules!
**[02:50] Nar**
Before the game starts, each player
writes a word of their choice on a card,
**[02:53] Nar**
then lays it facedown.
**[02:56] Nar**
This word is considered taboo
throughout the game and,
***SIGN*** N
**[02:58] Nar**
like a word ending with
"n," it ends the game.
**[03:01] Nat**
I get it.
**[03:02] Nat**
You have to avoid using the word
on your opponent's Taboo Card,
**[03:06] Nat**
while also luring the opponent into
saying the word on your own card.
**[03:10] Sak**
And one more thing...
**[03:12] Sak**
All games need some kind of risk and return.
**[03:15] Sak**
If you win, Natsuki-chan,
I'll give you something good.
**[03:19] Nat**
Something good?
***SIGN*** Ribbon
**[03:21] Nat**
F-Fine.
**[03:23] Nat**
Then, if I lose...
**[03:26] Sak**
Of course, if you lose...
**[03:29] Sak**
you have to eat spaghetti
through your nose!
**[03:31] Nat**
Her tastes in game penalties
are so old-fashioned!
***SIGN*** Record 21
***SIGN*** Sealed Words!!
**[03:42] Nat**
*This Taboo Card holds the key to my victory.*
**[03:45] Nat**
*But what word should I write?*
**[03:49] Nat**
* I guess I should just pick one that*
* I wouldn't accidentally say myself...*
**[03:54] Sak**
Okay, are you all ready?
**[03:57] Sak**
Once you've written down your
word, you can't change it.
**[04:01] Sak**
It may even be possible
**[04:02] Sak**
that the game is already
decided the moment we both
**[04:05] Sak**
choose our taboo words.
**[04:07] Nat**
We won't know who wins until we play.
**[04:09] Nat**
It's still Word Chain, after all.
**[04:11] Nat**
We're both playing by the same terms.
**[04:16] Sak**
Let's go over the rules!
***SIGN*** Wasabi Octopus
**[04:17] Sak**
The basic rules are the same
as standard Word Chain.
**[04:20] Sak**
If you use a word ending in "n," you lose!
**[04:23] Sak**
If you use the words written
on either Taboo Card, you lose!
**[04:27] Sak**
The time limit is one minute per turn.
**[04:30] Sak**
If you exceed that, you lose!
**[04:33] Girls**
Taboo Card, set!
**[04:35] Girls**
Word Chain, in!
**[04:36] Sak**
I'll go first,
**[04:37] Sak**
with the "ri" of "Shiritori" *(Word Chain)*!
**[04:39] ---**
Wha—
**[04:39] Nat**
Y-You took the first turn by force!
**[04:42] Sak**
Don't be so naïve, Natsuki-chan!
**[04:43] Sak**
The game's already begun!
**[04:45] Sak**
It's my turn!
**[04:47] Sak**
Risuzaru *(squirrel monkey)*!
**[04:48] Nat**
A Lead-off Switchup!
**[04:50] Nar**
A Lead-off Switchup!
***SIGN*** Lead-off Switchup
**[04:52] Nar**
As the saying goes:
"Shiritori starts with 'pa.'"
**[04:55] Nar**
Shiritori *(Word Chain),*
ringo *(apple),* gorira *(gorilla),*
**[04:59] Nar**
and rappa* (trumpet) *is the standard
opening pattern for a Word Chain.
**[05:03] Nar**
To actively make a change
to that pattern...
**[05:06] Nar**
is called a "Pattern Switchup."
***SIGN*** Pattern Switchup
**[05:09] Nar**
One plan of attack is to lead off
with a word other than "apple."
**[05:13] Nar**
This is known as a "Lead-off Switchup."
**[05:16] Nar**
The goal is to confuse any opponent
prepared to respond with "gorilla,"
**[05:19] Nar**
upsetting their rhythm early on.
**[05:23] Nat**
*Of course.*
**[05:24] Nat**
*We're playing with Taboo Card rules.*
**[05:26] Nat**
* If I had predicted that she'd*
* lead off with the usual pattern*
**[05:29] Nat**
*and selected "apple" as my taboo word,*
**[05:32] Nat**
* that would've ended the game*
* right then and there.*
***SIGN*** Apple
**[05:35] Nat**
*Hence the Lead-off Switchup!*
**[05:37] Nat**
R-Ruretto *(roulette)*.
**[05:39] Sak**
Tonneru *(tunnel)*.
**[05:41] Nat**
Sakura responds in a flash!
**[05:44] Nat**
Ruuzu sokkusu *(loose socks)*.
**[05:45] Sak**
Sutooru *(stole)*.
**[05:48] Nat**
Here, Natsuki begins to
suspect something's up...
**[05:51] (Flashback) Sak**
Sutooru *(stole)*.
**[05:53] Nar**
Now, her suspicion turns to certainty.
**[05:55] Nat**
*This is...*
**[05:57] Nat**
*a "Ru" Offensive!*
**[05:58] Nar**
The "Ru" Offensive: a strategy that takes advantage
***SIGN*** "Ru" Offensive
**[06:02] Nar**
of the fact that there are far fewer words
beginning with "ru" than ending with "ru,"
***SIGN*** __ru = Lots
***SIGN*** Ru__ = Few
**[06:05] Nar**
and thus using only words ending in "ru."
**[06:08] Nar**
There are other, similar strategies,
such as the "Ri" Offensive.
**[06:12] Nat**
* That means Sakura-senpai's taboo*
* word probably starts with "ru."*
**[06:17] Nat**
* I blurted out "roulette" earlier*
* without thinking about it,*
**[06:20] Nat**
* but maybe I should stick with more*
* obscure words when possible.*
**[06:24] Nat**
Ruibe *(frozen sashimi)*.
**[06:25] Sak**
Beeru *(veil)*.
**[06:26] Nat**
Ruchinwaaku *(routine work)*.
**[06:27] Sak**
Kurooru *(crawl)*.
**[06:29] Nat**
Ruigigo *(synonym)*.
**[06:30] Sak**
Gooru *(goal)*.
**[06:31] Nat**
Rukusenburuku *(Luxembourg)*.
**[06:32] Sak**
Kurea fairu *(transparent file)*.
**[06:33] Nat**
Ruaa *(lure)*.
**[06:34] Sak**
Aagairu *(argyle)*.
**[06:35] Nat**
Rui-kokuou *(King Louis)*.
**[06:37] Sak**
Uuru *(wool)*.
**[06:38] Nat**
Ruukii *(rookie)*.
**[06:39] Sak**
Kiihooru *(keyhole)*.
**[06:40] Nat**
Ruumania *(Romania)*.
**[06:42] Sak**
Arumihoiru *(aluminum foil)*.
**[06:43] Nat**
Ruwanda *(Rwanda)*.
**[06:44] Sak**
Daato toraiaru *(dirt trial)*.
**[06:45] Nat**
Ruuju *(rouge)*.
**[06:46] Sak**
Jubunairu *(juvenile)*.
**[06:47] Nat**
Ruupe *(magnifying glass)*.
**[06:48] Sak**
Pearentaru kontorooru.
*(parental controls)*.
**[06:50] Nat**
Ruuzuberuto-daitouryou
*(President Roosevelt)*.
**[06:51] Sak**
Uedingu beru *(wedding bell)*.
***SIGN*** "Exile": A penalty in which a criminal is expelled to a distant land.
**[06:53] Nat**
Rukei *(exile)*.
***SIGN*** "Easel": A stand upon which you prop signs or drawing boards.
**[06:54] Sak**
Iizeru *(easel)*.
***SIGN*** "Exponent": Multiplying a number by itself.
**[06:56] Nat**
Ruijou *(exponent)*.
***SIGN*** "Sea-firefly": A species of ostracod crustacean.
**[06:57] Sak**
Umihotaru *(sea-firefly)*.
**[06:59] Nat**
*I'm running out of words!*
**[07:01] Nar**
The time limit of one minute per turn
**[07:03] Nar**
clearly has Natsuki on the ropes.
**[07:07] Nar**
Pressure can have a strikingly negative
effect on a person's judgment.
**[07:11] Nar**
Words that she should
know fail to come to her!
**[07:13] Nar**
At this rate, whether she says Sakura's
taboo word or breaks the time limit...
**[07:19] Nar**
it's only a matter of time.
**[07:23] Nat**
*I guess it's time...*
**[07:24] Nar**
But Natsuki had a plan!
***SIGN*** Counter
**[07:27] Nar**
It was a "Counter"!
**[07:29] Nar**
The "Ru" Offensive,
**[07:30] Nar**
which attacks with a specific syllable,
has one fatal weakness.
***SIGN*** __ru
Ru__
__ru
Ru__
__ru
Ru__
__ru
**[07:33] Nar**
This is called the Counter.
**[07:36] Nar**
After exhausting the vocabulary
of words that begin with "ru,"
***SIGN*** Ru__ru
**[07:39] Nar**
returning with a word that
both starts and ends with "ru"
**[07:42] Nar**
turns your opponent's
offensive back on them!
**[07:49] Nar**
The word that Natsuki
has kept up her sleeve!
**[07:51] Nar**
That word is:
***SIGN*** Rule
**[07:53] Nar**
Ruuru* (rule)*!
**[07:54] Nat**
Ru—
**[07:56] Nar**
But the moment she opened her mouth,
**[07:58] Nar**
a jolt of electricity hit Natsuki!
**[08:01] Nar**
Call it intuition or instinct!
**[08:03] Nar**
Halted by that momentary chill,
Natsuki swallowed the word!
**[08:09] Nat**
*I get it.*
**[08:10] Nat**
* The word that Sakura-senpai*
* wrote on her Taboo Card was...*
**[08:13] Nat**
*Rule!*
***SIGN*** Rule
**[08:14] Nat**
* She wasn't using her Taboo*
* Card to defeat me directly.*
**[08:18] Nat**
* She did it stop me from*
* countering her "Ru" Offensive!*
**[08:21] Nar**
Her guess was correct.
**[08:24] Sak**
*So you've caught on?*
**[08:25] Sak**
*But it's too late, Natsuki-chan.*
**[08:27] Sak**
* The moment you accepted*
* this game, you'd already...*
**[08:31] Sak**
*fallen into my trap!*
**[08:38] Cla**
Isn't that a relief?
**[08:39] Cla**
You got your handout turned in.
**[08:42] Kar**
Yes!
**[08:43] Kar**
Do you think Sakura-senpai
has turned up yet?
**[08:45] Bot**
I'm sure she's there by now.
**[08:47] Kar**
So Nat-chan and Sakura-senpai
are in there by themselves?
**[08:54] Cla**
By themselves?
**[08:56] Cla**
Why don't we go grab some
tea before we head back?
**[08:59] Kar**
Why do you want to give
them more time alone?
**[09:07] Nar**
The reason most Word
Chain games take place
**[09:11] Nar**
is to kill time.
***SIGN*** Tanuki *(Racoon Dog)*
**[09:15] Nar**
I'm Botan!
**[09:15] Nar**
In most cases, Word Chain
is not played competitively.
***SIGN*** Kitsune *(Fox)* Tanuki *(Racoon Dog)*
**[09:17] ---**
I'm Claire!
***SIGN*** Neko *(Cat)* Kitsune *(Fox)* Tanuki *(Racoon Dog)*
**[09:19] ---**
I'm Karin!
**[09:19] Nar**
Rather, the intent is simply to keep
the game going as long as possible.
***SIGN*** Komodo Ootokage *(Komodo Dragon)* Neko *(Cat)* Kitsune *(Fox)* Tanuki *(Racoon Dog)*
**[09:23] Sak**
* I bet you've only ever played that dull*
* form of Word Chain, right, Natsuki-chan?*
**[09:28] Sak**
*Let me teach you...*
**[09:30] Sak**
* the Word Chain where you*
* crush your opponent!*
***SIGN*** Record 22:
***SIGN*** The Fierce Battle's Conclusion!!
**[09:38] Nat**
*How...*
**[09:40] Nat**
* How could this turn into*
* such a war of attrition?*
**[09:43] Nat**
* My Counter Word against*
* Sakura-senpai's "Ru" Offensive,*
***SIGN*** Rule
**[09:47] Nat**
*"Rule," has been taken from me.*
**[09:49] Nat**
*I'm definitely going to lose now...*
***SIGN*** Rouble
**[09:52] Nat**
Runesansu *(Renaissance)*.
**[09:53] Sak**
Sumairu *(smile)*.
**[09:54] Nat**
Ru...
**[09:56] Nat**
*Think! Isn't there anything?!*
**[09:58] Nat**
*Any word that can break this deadlock?!*
***SIGN*** Rui Rua
***SIGN*** Rue Ruu
**[10:01] Nat**
*Rua, rui, ruu, rue...*
**[10:04] Nat**
*Leaf through the dictionary of my mind!*
**[10:07] Sak**
*Well, think long and hard.*
**[10:09] Sak**
* As long as I respond instantly*
* to anything you throw at me,*
**[10:13] Sak**
*you only get sixty seconds to think.*
**[10:19] Sak**
* You have to stay calm,*
* at the very least.*
**[10:21] Sak**
* The more pressured you feel when backed*
* into a corner, the faster time seems to pass.*
**[10:35] Nat**
Ru... Ruuputai *(bolo tie)*.
**[10:37] Sak**
Inisharu *(initial)*.
***SIGN*** Ru
**[10:40] Nar**
The time limit approaches!
***SIGN*** Nicknames: Nose-paghetti, Peperoncino, Al Dente, Spaghetti Aglio e Olio, Carbonara
**[10:42] Nar**
The penalty hangs over her head!
**[10:44] ---**
Olive Oil... Nose-paghetti...
Peperoncino... Carbonara... Al Dente...
**[10:47] Nar**
But the severity of the situation,
contrary to Sakura's expectations...
**[10:54] Nar**
has given Natsuki a flash of insight!
**[10:56] Nat**
*That's it!*
**[10:58] Nat**
* I've got a word that begins and*
* ends with "ru," other than "rule"!*
**[11:02] Nat**
*To break out of the "Ru" Offensive...*
***SIGN*** Means of Counter
**[11:04] Nat**
*A Counter Word!*
**[11:07] Nat**
Now it's my turn!
**[11:09] Nat**
Ruuburu *(ruble)*!
**[11:11] Sak**
*Ruble?!*
***SIGN*** Ruble
***SIGN*** Roar
**[11:23] Nat**
*I've won.*
**[11:24] Sak**
Just kidding!
**[11:27] Sak**
Runowaaru *(Renoir)*.
***SIGN*** Chronicles of the Going Home Club
**[11:45] Sak**
Natsuki-chan. You fought hard.
**[11:49] Sak**
I never expected you to find a Counter Word
other than "rule" in a situation like that.
**[11:54] Sak**
You're everything I'd expect
of a junior in my club.
**[11:57] Sak**
But I'd already prepared several
countermeasures to the counter.
***SIGN*** Renaaru (Renard, author) Ruminooru (Luminol, reagent) Ruchiru (Rutile, mineral)
**[12:04] Sak**
*That should crush Natsuki-chan's spirit.*
**[12:08] Sak**
*I've won!*
**[12:13] ---**
Wha—
**[12:14] Nat**
Now it's my turn!
**[12:16] Sak**
Why?!
**[12:17] Sak**
How can you still stand?!
**[12:18] Sak**
Why won't you just admit defeat?!
**[12:20] Nat**
Because I am...
**[12:22] Nat**
I am a Word Chainist!
**[12:24] Sak**
* What's that?! I've never*
* heard that title before!*
**[12:27] Sak**
*What do I do?*
**[12:28] Sak**
* I didn't crush her spirit enough, and it*
* seems to have revved her up even more!*
**[12:31] Nat**
Ruijiana-shuu *(Louisiana State)*!
**[12:34] Sak**
"U"? "U," huh?
***SIGN*** U
**[12:37] Sak**
*"U"?*
**[12:39] Sak**
*What?*
**[12:40] Sak**
* I've already used "wool" and*
* "wedding bell" and "sea-firefly"...*
**[12:44] Sak**
*"U..." Strange, I can't think of anything.*
**[12:52] Sak**
*Well, as you wish.*
**[12:53] Sak**
*I'll play it safe.*
**[12:55] Sak**
* After all, even if Natsuki-chan*
* comes at me with "ru,"*
**[12:57] Sak**
*I still have a full stock of Counter Words.*
***SIGN*** Renaaru (Renard, author) Ruminooru (Luminol, reagent) Ruchiru (Rutile, mineral)
**[13:02] Sak**
Umigame *(sea turtle)*.
**[13:03] Sak**
*There! Now, come at me with meeru* (mail) *
or meepuru* (maple) *or any word you like!*
**[13:07] Nat**
Meifurawaagou *(The Mayflower)*.
**[13:09] Sak**
*Another "u"?*
**[13:11] Sak**
Ujikintoki *(Green tea and red bean ice cream)*.
**[13:13] Nat**
Kyouryuu *(dinosaur)*.
**[13:14] Sak**
Usagi *(rabbit)*.
**[13:14] Nat**
Gyuunyuu *(milk)*.
***SIGN*** U
**[13:17] Sak**
*I get it.*
**[13:19] Sak**
* I've exhausted all the words that*
* start with "u" and end with "ru."*
***SIGN*** U___ru
**[13:23] Sak**
*In other words,*
**[13:24] Sak**
*as long as she keeps responding with "u,"*
**[13:26] Sak**
*I can't relaunch my "Ru" Offensive.*
**[13:29] Sak**
* But there are still tons of*
* words that start with "u."*
***SIGN*** U = About 1,000,000,007 results (0.11 seconds)
**[13:33] Sak**
* In this situation, Natsuki-chan needs*
* to keep responding with "u" endings,*
**[13:37] Sak**
* which means she's the*
* one at a disadvantage.*
**[13:39] Sak**
Uruudoshi *(leap year)*.
**[13:40] Nat**
Shodou *(calligraphy)*.
**[13:42] Sak**
*Wait a minute!*
**[13:43] Sak**
*Come to think of it,*
**[13:45] Sak**
*Natsuki-chan added "daitouryou"* (president) *
when just "Roosevelt" would have done,*
**[13:49] Sak**
*and added "shuu"* (state) *when just
"Louisiana" would have sufficed...*
**[13:54] Sak**
* Was she... trying to make me*
* say words starting with "u"?!*
**[13:58] Sak**
*Is it possible...*
**[13:59] Sak**
* that Natsuki-chan's taboo word*
* is a word that starts with a "u"?!*
***SIGN*** U__
**[14:05] Sak**
*When I consider that possibility,*
**[14:07] Sak**
* maybe I should focus on more*
* obscure words when possible...*
**[14:13] Sak**
Umibouzu *(sea monster)*.
**[14:15] Nat**
Sakura-senpai.
**[14:17] Nat**
You just said "umibouzu," didn't you?
**[14:19] ---**
Huh?
**[14:20] ---**
Wha—
**[14:22] Nat**
Taboo Card, open!
**[14:24] Sak**
What?!
**[14:25] Nat**
The taboo word I chose was:
***SIGN*** Umibouzu
**[14:29] Nat**
"Umibouzu"!
**[14:32] Sak**
Wh-Why'd you choose a word like that?!
**[14:35] Nat**
It was a coincidence, actually.
**[14:38] Nat**
* I guess I should just pick one that*
* I wouldn't accidentally say myself...*
**[14:42] Sak**
Th-That's the only reason?!
**[14:44] Nar**
No doubt about it,
it was sheer coincidence.
**[14:47] Nar**
Born from the short yet rich
time they've spent together,
**[14:51] Nar**
an unconscious synchronization of
their thought patterns took place!
**[14:57] Nar**
It was almost an inevitability!
**[14:59] Nar**
The two of them,
both drawn to a single word!
**[15:02] Sak**
*Oh, no!*
**[15:03] Sak**
* Are you saying that Natsuki-chan's*
* thoughts and mine have fused?!*
**[15:07] Nat**
I execute a direct attack on
my opponent with "umibouzu"!
**[15:14] Nat**
Poseidon Hammer!
**[15:23] Nat**
Well, Senpai...
**[15:24] Nat**
Hand over what you promised me.
**[15:27] Nat**
Your "something good."
**[15:34] Kar**
We're back!
**[15:41] Kar**
Nat-chan, where'd that come from?
**[15:43] Kar**
I love it!
**[15:44] Kar**
It's so cute!
**[15:45] Kar**
This is Sakura-senpai's, right?
**[15:47] Kar**
Did she give it to you? Did she, huh?
**[15:49] Kar**
Well? What happened?
**[15:51] Nat**
Nothing happened.
**[15:54] Nar**
For the first time in her life,
**[15:55] Nar**
Natsuki has tasted the
humiliation of victory.
**[16:05] Aza**
Seal Summoning!
***SIGN*** Rumble Rumble
**[16:11] Sak**
Now then!
**[16:13] Sak**
We're all here, right?
**[16:15] Sak**
Okay!
**[16:15] Sak**
Who knows what tomorrow is?
**[16:18] Kar**
I do!
**[16:18] Kar**
It's Nat-chan's birthday!
**[16:20] Sak**
Excellent!
**[16:21] Sak**
In view of that, today...
***SIGN*** Boom
**[16:23] Sak**
we're going to have a meeting to plan
Natsuki-chan's surprise birthday party!
***SIGN*** Record 23
***SIGN*** Surprise Party
**[16:34] Nat**
Wait! I'm sitting right here!
**[16:38] Sak**
Okay, everyone!
**[16:39] Sak**
Throw out lots of great ideas for things
that'll surprise and delight Natsuki-chan!
**[16:44] Nat**
* She's just going on with this!*
* What am I supposed to do?*
**[16:48] Cla**
That's difficult.
**[16:50] Cla**
Natsuki-san probably already expects
that we'll all want to celebrate with her.
**[16:57] Nat**
*That's because the secret's already out.*
**[16:59] Kar**
Even if she acts calm, her thing
will be wagging back and forth!
**[17:04] Sak**
I hear you, I hear you!
**[17:06] Cla**
So cute!
**[17:07] Nat**
*No, no, it does* not *wag!*
**[17:08] Nat**
*Why are you treating it like a dog's tail?!*
**[17:11] Bot**
A silly little surprise party
won't really surprise her.
**[17:14] Nat**
* Actually, it won't surprise me*
* because I already know about it.*
**[17:18] Sak**
Well?
**[17:19] Sak**
Does anyone have any good ideas?
**[17:21] Kar**
I do!
**[17:22] Kar**
I think we should make some handicrafts.
**[17:25] Sak**
Handicrafts?
**[17:26] Kar**
You know...
**[17:27] Kar**
We could cut strips of colored paper,
**[17:29] Kar**
make chains out of them,
and make flowers.
***SIGN*** Cute
**[17:34] Nat**
*They've changed the point of the meeting...*
**[17:37] Bot**
Why don't we pop some crackers?
**[17:39] Sak**
Yeah! They're good for parties!
**[17:41] Cla**
But if we're throwing a party,
**[17:43] Cla**
I think something more extravagant
would surprise her more.
**[17:46] Bot**
That's true.
**[17:47] Bot**
Something more extravagant...
**[17:50] Bot**
I know! Let's set off fireworks!
**[17:53] Nat**
*That's going way over the top!*
**[17:55] Sak**
I like it!
**[17:56] Sak**
Let's go extravagant!
**[17:58] Nat**
*No, no, no, no...*
**[17:59] Cla**
For food, we can order room
service from my family's hotel!
**[18:03] Nat**
*Huh?!*
**[18:04] Nat**
*They'll even deliver to the club room?!*
**[18:05] Cla**
A feast simply *has* to have
beefsteak, don't you think?
**[18:08] Nat**
*Beefsteak?*
**[18:09] Sak**
Oh, do they have dessert, too?
**[18:11] Sak**
I love desserts with kiwi in them!
**[18:12] Nat**
*They're all just listing things they like...*
**[18:15] Kar**
I know!
**[18:16] Kar**
You can't forget the cake, either!
**[18:19] Sak**
Right, that's fundamental!
**[18:21] Sak**
Natsuki-chan does love sweet things.
**[18:23] Kar**
Let's get a strawberry cake! A big one!
**[18:27] Bot**
Sounds good.
**[18:28] Bot**
The cake and the staging will get her excited...
**[18:30] Cla**
Then, we'll all cry out "happy birthday!"
**[18:34] Sak**
Okay, okay!
**[18:36] Sak**
This'll be the perfect surprise party!
***SIGN*** Handicrafts, fireworks, beefsteak, kiwi, strawberry cake
**[18:38] Sak**
Yes, I think that'll do it.
***SIGN*** Handicrafts, fireworks, beefsteak, kiwi, strawberry cake
**[18:41] Sak**
By the way, Natsuki-chan, do you think
you'd be surprised by all of this?
**[18:45] Nat**
Of course not!
**[18:46] Nat**
If you give away the whole thing,
there's nothing left to surprise me!
**[18:48] Aza**
And then, the next day...
**[18:51] Kar**
I'm so excited for your surprise party, Nat-chan.
**[18:55] ---**
Y-Yeah...
**[18:56] Nat**
Karin. You know what the word
"surprise" means, don't you?
**[19:00] Kar**
I can't wait!

**[19:16] Nat**
It's huge!
**[19:17] Nat**
What's with the colossal scale?!
**[19:19] Nat**
It's bigger than the door!
**[19:21] Nat**
H-How did you get it in here?
**[19:23] Cla**
We brought the ingredients inside
and made it in the room!
**[19:26] Nat**
Is it a ship in a bottle?!
**[19:29] Nat**
What? What's that sound?
**[19:33] Bot**
Fireworks!
**[19:34] Nat**
You really set off fireworks?!
**[19:36] Nat**
But you went to all that trouble,
**[19:39] Nat**
and we can't even see them in here...
**[19:42] Bot**
Well, when you launch
fireworks in the daytime,
**[19:43] Bot**
all you can see is smoke
anyway, so it's no big deal.
**[19:45] Nat**
Then, why did you set
them off during the day?!
**[19:55] Nat**
Did you make these, Karin?
**[19:57] Kar**
After the meeting yesterday,
we all hung them up together.
**[20:01] Sak**
Also, take a look outside!
**[20:03] Sak**
This last surprise is amazing,
so let your hopes soar!
**[20:06] Bot**
Yeah.
**[20:07] Bot**
Getting someone's hopes up is part
of the ABCs of a surprise party.

Botan-senpai, I'm so hungry.
**[23:08] Bot**
Karin.
**[23:09] Bot**
I see. Here, eat this.
**[23:12] Sak**
Wait a minute!
**[23:13] Sak**
We all enjoyed Natsuki-chan's delicious
birthday cake together earlier.

**[23:19] Sak**
After eating all that,
you're still hungry?
**[23:22] Sak**
What kind of ravenous spirit do you have?!
**[23:25] Kar**
Don't say that, Senpai!
**[23:27] Kar**
There's always room for sweets!
**[23:29] Sak**
It's just as you say, of course!
**[23:30] Sak**
Darn it.
**[23:32] Sak**
My skills as a woman have failed me again.
**[23:36] Bot**
It seems Karin comes from a race
that can control their own stomachs.
**[23:40] Bot**
Such a terrifying stomach...
**[23:42] Bot**
To bring me of all people to my knees!
**[23:45] Sak**
Botan-chan!
**[23:45] Sak**
What happened to the red bean
rice ball you were holding?
**[23:47] Bot**
Well, it's right he—
**[23:52] Kar**
So good!
**[23:55] Aza**
By the way, seals like smooth red bean paste!

See you next time!
