[00:27] ---
That's not an answer!
[00:29] ---
Tomoya, you haven't given me one
straight answer for a while now!
[00:43] ---
Good morning, Mr. Ethical.
[00:53] ---
Stay calm, everything is all right now.
[00:55] ---
No, this current situation
is anything but all right.
[00:58] ---
What are you doing here, Utaha-senpai?
[01:00] ---
Because I had zero screen time
in the last episode, obviously.
[01:04] ---
That's not a reason!
[01:06] ---
And what do you mean, "screen time"?
What do you mean, "last episode"?!
[01:09] ---
Oh, you're awake, Aki-kun.
[01:11] ---
Senpai, what are you doing?!
[01:13] ---
Don't look! Stop her, Kato!
[01:15] ---
Um, okay.
[02:50] ---
Oh, so Kato called you here, Utaha-senpai.

[02:53] ---
Setting that aside,
[02:55] ---
isn't your casually entering his house
a topic for discussion, Kato-san?
[03:00] ---
Actually, isn't the real topic of discussion
[03:02] ---
the fact that you rushed over in 15 minutes
just because I said "Aki-kun is in trouble"?
[03:09] ---
So, what happened?
[03:11] ---
What do you mean?
[03:13] ---
I got the gist of what happened from Kato-san,
[03:16] ---
but I won't understand why you and Sawamura-san
ended up in that situation
[03:20] ---
unless I hear it from your own mouth.
[03:23] ---
Come on, out with it.
And then let's think of a way to fix it.
[03:28] ---
But this is a problem between me and Eriri.
[03:31] ---
I can't drag you into it.
[03:33] ---
Kato-san, what you see here
is a textbook example of
[03:37] ---
the "wimp protagonist" who is so
common in the dating sim world.
[03:39] ---
Whenever there's trouble, he makes
a show of indecisive worrying,
[03:42] ---
and then annoys everyone around
him by dragging them into it.
[03:44] ---
If you are going to be the main heroine,
[03:46] ---
you are going to have to deal
with his sort in the future,
[03:49] ---
so observe his behavior closely.
[03:51] ---
That sounds like a hassle...
[03:53] ---
Uh, I'm sorry, but I genuinely am worried.
[03:58] ---
Ah, I see.
[03:59] ---
Basically, when you sang the
praises of Hashima-san's book,
[04:02] ---
Sawamura-san flew off the hilt
for some reason, berated Hashima-san,
[04:05] ---
and then, after she tore her book to shreds,
[04:08] ---
she shoved her into a mud puddle and
laughed at her with her posse.
[04:12] ---
Right?
[04:13] ---
That turned into a certain someone's
writing style halfway through,
[04:16] ---
but the first part was pretty much accurate.
[04:18] ---
That's rather immature.
[04:19] ---
That's for sure.
[04:21] ---
She doesn't act like the big-name
doujinshi creator that she is.
[04:25] ---
I was referring to you.
[04:27] ---
Me?!
[04:28] ---
Was it really necessary
[04:30] ---
to praise someone else's book
in front of Sawamura-san?
[04:34] ---
You were going to put your foot in your
mouth no matter what you said to her,
[04:38] ---
so perhaps you should have kept how
you actually felt to yourself?
[04:42] ---
I... can't do that.
[04:45] ---
I can't say that something
that I think is great isn't.
[04:49] ---
I'd sooner quit being an otaku than say
Izumi-chan's doujinshi or your novels aren't great.
[04:56] ---
B-B-Be that as it may!
[04:59] ---
Be that as it may, your words were
a fatal blow to Sawamura-san.
[05:04] ---
Nothing I say could make a dent
in Eriri's popularity or ability.
[05:09] ---
But it certainly made a dent in her heart.
[05:12] ---
It's possible that this might
leave her unable to draw.
[05:15] ---
Come on, that would never happen.
[05:17] ---
Sawamura-san must have felt like everything
had been stolen from her.
[05:21] ---
What do you mean, everything?
[05:23] ---
Her dignity as a creator, as well as
her position as "childhood friend."
[05:28] ---
I mean, Hashima-san had grown close to you,
so it was like she had an extremely high
[05:34] ---
initial likability stat in spite of the fact that
she had only recently appeared.
[05:36] ---
The sort who will confess her love for the
protagonist when he fails to conquer his intended girl...
[05:41] ---
That makes me so angry...
[05:42] ---
A "hidden savior heroine" should stay
hidden until the very end!
[05:43] ---
Senpai!
[05:48] ---
In any event, for the circle to overcome
this threat to its very existence,
[05:52] ---
you will have to work hard, Mr. Ethical.
[05:54] ---
What do you think I should I do?
[05:56] ---
Conquer the childhood friend heroine,
Mr. Wimp Protagonist... Mr. Ethical, rather.
[06:02] ---
That would have made for a
touching scene, but you wrecked it.
[06:06] ---
Hazy memories, fond recollections,
promises made as children...
[06:10] ---
Use every last childhood friend advantage
to raise Sawamura-san's flags.
[06:15] ---
Do you think she'll fall
for something that obvious?
[06:18] ---
I think it will work.
[06:21] ---
Aki-kun, you need to be the
heroine here, not the protagonist.
[06:41] ---
Eriri, daddy and I are leaving, okay?
[06:45] ---
Summer Comiket, day three! The final
day! The day of the sacred battle!
[06:49] ---
Yes, off to bask in works of
the "male-oriented" genre!
[06:53] ---
Have fun.
[06:54] ---
Oh, and about the party tonight...
[06:57] ---
I know.
[06:58] ---
I wouldn't dream of embarrassing daddy.
[07:16] ---
You're heading out already?
[07:18] ---
Yeah, I'm leaving.
[07:21] ---
To Summer Comiket day 3,
East A276, Egoistic Lily.
[07:26] ---
Do you think Sawamura-san will come?
[07:29] ---
Probably not, but I have to go.
[07:33] ---
Sure. Good luck.
[07:35] ---
Kato, thanks.
[07:37] ---
But I haven't done anything.
[07:39] ---
It was Kasumigaoka-senpai who
did all the work last night.
[07:43] ---
Maybe, but thanks all the same.
[07:50] ---
That reminds me, you need to come up
with a name for our circle soon.
[07:54] ---
Oh, you're right.
[07:57] ---
Well, I'm off.
[07:59] ---
Sure. See you later.
[08:22] ---
Iori.
[08:23] ---
My goodness! Tomoya-kun!
Funny seeing you here!
[08:26] ---
Uh, you've been watching me since I got here.
[08:29] ---
To what do I owe the honor of
you paying our space a visit?
[08:33] ---
I hate to break it to you, but I'm not
going to back down on Eri Kashiwagi.
[08:37] ---
I don't want you to back down.
I just want your help.
[08:42] ---
My help? Doing what?
[08:44] ---
What else? To drag Eriri back to my circle!
SIGN Servis
[10:13] ---
Over here, Eriri!
[10:22] ---
What are you doing, Tomoya?
[10:24] ---
May I take you away from it all for a while, Eriri?
[10:28] ---
What are you–
[10:29] ---
Come into town with me!
[10:38] ---
Let's go, Eriri!
[10:40] ---
Aren't you embarrassed doing that?
[10:41] ---
Totally embarrassed! I could die of shame!
[10:45] ---
But I can't die, not yet!
[10:47] ---
I refuse to die until I've
patched things up with you!
[11:10] ---
All right, the plan will be
carried out tomorrow night.
[11:12] ---
I assume the location will be
Sawamura-san's balcony?
[11:15] ---
Every year, her family throws a party
the night of the fireworks display.
[11:19] ---
So that will be my only opportunity
to win her back.
[11:21] ---
Very well.
[11:22] ---
We'll base the situation on the fireworks
display event in Little Love Rhapsody.
[11:26] ---
Kato-san, can you play that scene right now?
[11:30] ---
Sure.
[11:31] ---
This plan will be designed to stimulate
[11:33] ---
past memories and nostalgia
to get her to make up with you.
[11:36] ---
Do you think it will work?
[11:37] ---
Don't worry.
[11:38] ---
Because Eriri Spencer Sawamura
is by nature a maiden!
[11:43] ---
She's a nerdy girl waiting for her otaku prince to
arrive in his white itasha and sweep her off her feet!
[11:51] ---
Can you believe that? Isn't that a bit
too romantic for a porn doujin artist?
[11:54] ---
I'm not so sure. Maybe she's a romantic
because she's a porn doujin artist.
[11:58] ---
Utaha-senpai is one thing,
but don't you join in, Kato! That's mean!
SIGN Shimamura Grade School
[12:10] ---
I guess they built a new school
building since we left...
[12:14] ---
They rebuilt it the year before last, I think.
[12:18] ---
Oh.
[12:23] ---
Say, Eriri...
[12:26] ---
Why are you trying to make up now?
[12:28] ---
LitRhap was the first game that
I made you a convert to.
[12:31] ---
You're right. I never knew that girls'
dating sims were a thing before then.
[12:35] ---
But when I tried one, I had a blast playing it.
[12:37] ---
And then you turned another girl onto them.
Don't you think that's a betrayal?
[12:44] ---
Eriri...
[12:46] ---
I'm glad that you found a nice book!
[12:48] ---
And the girl who made it is both a childhood
friend and your #1 disciple?
[12:53] ---
How could anything top that?
[12:55] ---
I guess you don't need me anymore.
Just let her into the circle.
[13:00] ---
So leave me alone.
[13:07] ---
Sorry, Utaha-senpai. Sorry, Kato.
[13:13] ---
Eriri, hear me out!
[13:19] ---
There's something that I've never
been able to say to you.
[13:22] ---
Even if you apologize, it's too late.
[13:27] ---
For a long time now, I've felt–
[13:30] ---
That's no fair, playing that card now!
[13:32] ---
I've felt incredibly pissed at you!
[13:37] ---
Make up with you, my ass!
How can I do that?!
[13:41] ---
I can't forgive you, not after what you did!
[13:43] ---
What do you mean?
[13:45] ---
What's that supposed to mean?!
[13:47] ---
I'm the one who was wronged here!
What's this crap?!
[13:51] ---
You're the one who turned
your back on me, Eriri!

[14:37] ---
Eight years ago,
[14:39] ---
you're the one who pretended you'd quit
being an otaku and made new friends
[14:43] ---
and abandoned me!
[14:45] ---
You...
[14:48] ---
You're still carrying a grudge
over a little thing like that?
[14:50] ---
"Little thing"?! How can you
call that a little thing?!
[14:53] ---
I didn't have a choice!
Back then, that's all I could do!
[14:57] ---
You think that excuses it?!
[14:58] ---
Was making new friends
that important to you?!
[15:02] ---
Was it more important than
talking to me about anime?!
[15:05] ---
Tomoya?
[15:06] ---
Do you have any idea how much
you meant to me back then?!
[15:10] ---
I'd made enemies of just about all the guys!
[15:13] ---
It was all to protect what we had!
[15:17] ---
Back then, you were all I had!
[15:23] ---
It took years, but I can finally
talk to people normally now!
[15:28] ---
But even so, I'll never forget how
badly you treated me back then!
[15:32] ---
That was... that was just you
getting carried away on your own!
[15:36] ---
Apologize!
[15:39] ---
I won't apologize.
[15:40] ---
No matter what happens,
I'll never apologize to you!
[15:44] ---
You don't know how much
I cried, Tomoya!
[15:48] ---
Eriri?
[15:49] ---
Because I severed ties with you and couldn't
talk to you at school and had to ignore you!
[15:54] ---
Because of how lonely, how frustrating,
and how painful it was!
[15:57] ---
I've suffered way more than you have!
[15:59] ---
All these years, I've had a
boomerang stuck in my heart!
[16:03] ---
So I have no reason to apologize!
[16:04] ---
Even though it was your own fault?!
[16:06] ---
Yeah! Is that so wrong?!
[16:07] ---
It is!
[16:08] ---
I couldn't care less!
You apologize to me!
[16:11] ---
Why?!
[16:12] ---
Why would you choose
that girl's book over mine?!
[16:15] ---
My popularity and ability and the amount of
time I've known you, they're all way higher!
[16:20] ---
Why wouldn't you pick me?!
[16:26] ---
I like what I like!
I don't care about our history!
[16:31] ---
Izumi-chan's book excites me more!
[16:33] ---
You're saying I'm inferior to that girl?
[16:34] ---
That's right!
[16:36] ---
You're beneath her!
Inferior to her! Not as good!
[16:39] ---
Even with all that hard work? Even though
I work myself into the ground?
[16:43] ---
Screw talent and hard work! The book you put
out at Summer Comiket today was a loser!
[16:47] ---
Right now, you don't have what it takes!
Not even close!
[16:50] ---
But I worked so hard...
[16:53] ---
I wore a mask outside,
but worked myself to death at home!
[16:57] ---
I wanted to get back at those
jerks who split us up!
[17:00] ---
I wanted to go back to how it was.
I thought I'd come so far...
[17:05] ---
You're right. You've come a long way.
[17:08] ---
You're fast and skilled and consistent.
[17:11] ---
So next, become great!
[17:13] ---
Let's see you become great and
fast and skilled and consistent!
[17:17] ---
How do I do that?!
I can't work any harder or any better!
[17:20] ---
How should I know?! It's your art!
Figure it out yourself!
[17:24] ---
That doesn't make any sense!
[17:25] ---
That's right! It's crazy!
[17:27] ---
So if you don't want to,
you don't have to become great!

For you, that's almost pleasant, Sawamura-san.
[19:34] ---
Hey, wait a minute! Is it just me,
or is that girl not wearing anything?
[19:39] ---
It's fine, Kato-san.
[19:41] ---
I think I've perfectly captured the
figure of her model, meaning you.
[19:45] ---
That's not perfectly fine at all!
[19:47] ---
What are you saying? A real heroine
is one who strips when told to strip
[19:50] ---
and who breathes heavily
when told to breathe heavily.
[19:55] ---
Oh, I had no idea.
[19:56] ---
Relax, this is a game for everyone.
[19:58] ---
One more thing, Tomoya.
[20:00] ---
Put the finishing touch on it, Producer.

You also got to know her
without realizing it, Izumi.
[22:08] ---
Hey, wait a minute!
[22:10] ---
Why would an artist from a famous
circle draw something for me?
[22:14] ---
Actually, she says she's a longtime LitRhap fan
[22:16] ---
and that your doujinshi
really touched her.
[22:20] ---
Hang on, did you give Eri Kashiwagi
a copy of my book?!
[22:24] ---
No, it sounded like she stood
