Why thank you, Mr. Shauna. Komari is my least favorite heroine, but I still like her. IMO her character route was way too early in the anime, before you could even get to know her. We'll get there eventually. That's also where I can get more into why I really prefer the visual novel over the anime.

I do like Mio though. She has that incredibly calming aura. Plus, her character themes is one of my favorites.

Chapter 1, Part 12

So what exactly did we end on last time? A black screen. Or shall we say, a narcolespy attack.

Music for this part: Two Sugars



Narcolepsy is a scary illness for sure. Lucky for Riki he's got people he can rely on.





That's good to hear.



Honestly, it must be pretty nice to not feel the need to apologize for it. A mutual understanding of need and responsibility that is wordlessly accepted.



I could see him being one to just wait patiently.



Thanks, Masato.



This view makes me wonder... how long was Riki asleep?

Not such a rare sight, is it?




Hmm, hmm. I wonder.




Now why was it this obvious?



...ooookay. Whatever you say.




"Best friends"?



Sadly, my Russian is no longer good enough for me to be able to translate белка or стрелка anymore.



The disciplinary committee, huh? I guess that means they're close to Kanata as well. I guess having her as Kud's roommate wasn't a bad idea after all.




They seem so friendly together. Had Rin gotten over her shyness I'm sure they'd have been fine roommates.

Either way, why were they out here together in the first place?



Duty-bound Rin can get over her shyness quite quickly, can't she?



Do tell.




That seems simple.





Heh. Neat little trick. Surprised Rin didn't know about it.



Let me guess. "Shii yuu reita"?



Called it.



Kinda reminds me of Spice and Wolf. Regardless, the two of them seem like they could be really good friends.

Riki goes to get some food and we skip ahead to nightfall. Take a guess what's up.




Music for this part: My Brave Smile



That sounds like Kyousuke alright.




Any surprises here?



"Plenty of girls on the team"? Oh you don't even know.





Oho? I wonder what he's up to now.



So, what's up?



What the smurf? That's a rather drastic change in objective.



That was shot down quickly.



Time for some Kyousukesque manipulation.





Devious, Kyousuke.



Rin is so easy to ma-



Guess it won't be that easy after all.




*sigh*



Gosh. Rin really is so easy to manipulate. Then again, I guess it just means she'll do anything for her cats' sake.



I picked "Watch calmly". This is Kyousuke we're talking about.

Music for this part: Mission Possible



I swear if Rin takes Dorj with her and it just flattens that monster that would be the greatest thing ever.



I think she's forgotten we're here.



Really. It's almost as if he had planned this from the start.




Wait, really!?





So there just casually happens to be a strange mysterious creature roaming around the school for no real reason, and nobody knows or cares about it. It's just there because why not.

I love this visual novel so much.






They're just kinda rolling with it, eh?



That's a good point. Kyousuke does have more planning and reasoning behind his plans than it seems at first.




So much for help from the cats.





It's flying? Huh. This is getting stranger and stranger.



And with that, it doesn't take too long until...

Music for this part: Heroic Battle






What is that thing?



As you can see, Rin as she is now doesn't really have much of a chance against this thing. It wasn't even close in the slightest.






Meh. Too bad. It'll probably be too hard until Chapter 3 or 4.





Damn man. Kengo is serious.




She seems fine. Somehow she didn't come to harm at all, apparently.



Okay, wait. How are we supposed to hear or see Kengo's battle, much less know it even happens? The mic was attached to Rin, was it not?



...I give up. Either Kyousuke had literally been planning to fight the lifeform, have Rin lose and then know that Kengo would fight it in her place...

Or he's just the kind of guy who likes installing mics on his friends for the lulz.

It's probably the latter.





Similarly to how Rin got destroyed in her battle, Kengo just utterly destroys the lifeform.






Shoulda volunteered to fight it yourself, Masato.



And that's it for the night. And for today as well, I'll be leaving for England tomorrow noon, meaning I won't be able to continue this Let's Play for a while. After that, however, I will have lots of free time so I'll try my best to update frequently. Next time will be May 19th with more member hunting. See you then.
