00:00Yes!
00:04You're amazing, Taku!
00:06My name is Taku Nakano.
00:08I'm a first-year university student with a hobby in competitive gaming.
00:13That back move was perfect!
00:16I was able to win thanks to you guys.
00:18Great teamwork!
00:19Oh, it's a message from my girlfriend.
00:24She wants us to meet up in the university courtyard after the third class tomorrow.
00:29Wait, Taku, you have a girlfriend?
00:31So jealous!
00:33You're strong in both games and real life!
00:36Quite the charismatic guy!
00:38Haha, well, uh...
00:42In reality, I'm just a lonely introverted guy.
00:45Hey, Taku?
00:47Y-yes?
00:48Oh, sorry!
00:49I didn't mean to startle you.
00:52The teacher asked for the report to be submitted early.
00:55Ah, okay.
00:56I understand.
00:58I know I should get used to other girls besides Uzami, but it's not easy.
01:04Despite being like this, having a girlfriend is not a lie.
01:08She took a liking to me after a certain class and aggressively pursued me, leading to us
01:13dating.
01:14However...
01:15I want to break up right now!
01:18Huh?
01:19W-why all of a sudden?
01:21You were saying how much you liked me!
01:23Ugh, that's because you were like a walking wallet to me.
01:26But lately, you only spend money on games.
01:29There's no point in being together.
01:32But we have a trip planned in two weeks!
01:34It's our three-month anniversary, promise!
01:37Even if we go together, it'll be boring.
01:39Oh, make sure to cover the cancellation fee, okay?
01:43This is just...
01:44Well then, that's how it is.
01:48My first girlfriend taught me everything from my first relationship to my first breakup.
01:53After being dumped so harshly, I don't even remember how I got home.
01:59Your aim is all over the place.
02:01Are you tired?
02:03Actually, I got brutally dumped by my girlfriend today.
02:08Seriously?
02:09Well, it's mostly my fault for having so many shortcomings.
02:13Didn't you mention that you booked a trip together recently?
02:17Yeah, that's right.
02:18I need to cancel it soon.
02:21I'll go on that trip with you!
02:23Really?
02:24Are you serious?
02:25Dead serious.
02:26It'd be a waste of the cancellation fee.
02:29You have a point, but...
02:32Going on a trip with someone from an online game is quite a leap.
02:36But we're both guys, and Light155 seems like a nice person.
02:40Alright, I'll take you up on your offer and have you accompany me on this heartbroken
02:45journey.
02:46Great!
02:47Let's have fun!
02:48I'll do my best to cheer you up!
02:51Thanks a lot!
02:52Let's exchange SNS contacts through the chat!
02:54Oh, Light, you're a university student, too.
02:58Me too.
02:59We even live in the same area.
03:00What a coincidence.
03:01Exactly!
03:02It must be fate.
03:04Also, let's drop the formal language.
03:07I don't like being too formal.
03:10After sorting out the details, we decided to meet at the airport lobby on the day of
03:14the trip.
03:16And so, the day of the trip arrived.
03:18There are quite a lot of people here.
03:20I should have asked for a photo or something.
03:22I told him that I'd have a game character keychain as a sign, but will he find me?
03:27Umm...
03:28Yes?
03:29You're Taku Nakano, right?
03:30Huh?
03:31It's me!
03:32It's me!
03:33Is this some new kind of it's-me scam?
03:34No!
03:35I'm Hikaru Saito.
03:36We were supposed to meet up.
03:37Huh?
03:38But you're not an old man.
03:39Look, check this out.
03:40I'm Light155.
03:41And I'm Taku Nakano.
03:42And I'm Taku Nakano.
03:43And I'm Taku Nakano.
03:44And I'm Taku Nakano.
03:45And I'm Taku Nakano.
03:46And I'm Taku Nakano.
03:47And I'm Taku Nakano.
03:48And I'm Taku Nakano.
03:49I'm Light155.
03:50By the way, 155 is my height.
03:53Huh?
03:54That's right!
03:55Let's go!
03:56Wait!
03:57I never agreed to go with a girl!
03:59Is that a problem?
04:00It's a whole bunch of problems!
04:02Stop worrying about the details.
04:05Impossible!
04:06Cancel it!
04:07I'll cover the cancellation fee!
04:09It's okay!
04:10Leave it to me!
04:11Now let's go!
04:12Get away from me!
04:1430 minutes later.
04:17By the way, why weren't we using voice chat?
04:20If I had heard your voice, I wouldn't have agreed to this trip.
04:23When they find out I'm a girl, people tend to look down on me.
04:27So I avoid using voice chat.
04:29It's not like that.
04:31It is, but...
04:33You're different, Taku.
04:34You were kind to other female players, too.
04:38And you treat your clan members really well.
04:41I've always been helped by you, too.
04:43That's just normal, right?
04:46Well, thanks.
04:48Well, I wanted to comfort you today.
04:51Ouch!
04:52Taku, you're a really good guy, so have some confidence.
04:56You're the only one who says that, Hikaru.
04:59That can't be true.
05:00You had a girlfriend before, so you must be popular with girls, right?
05:04Not at all.
05:05I went to an all-boys school, so I'm not used to being around girls.
05:10But we talk normally, don't we?
05:12That's because we were originally gaming buddies.
05:15And I thought you were a guy.
05:17Plus, you act like one.
05:19Huh?
05:20Well, anyway, I think that's probably why I got dumped.
05:24I had no clue about how girls think or feel.
05:27I see, then.
05:31I'll teach you about how girls think.
05:33What?
05:35Understanding girls is like reading your opponent's patterns in a game.
05:39No, it's totally different.
05:41It's alright.
05:42You're an amazing player, so you can definitely learn the patterns that make girls happy.
05:46You just didn't have the right mentor before.
05:49Well, when you put it that way...
05:51So I'll be your practice partner.
05:54O-okay!
05:55I'll learn how to conquer girls' feelings on this trip!
05:58That's the spirit!
06:00Let's aim for the highest rank in just one night and two days!
06:03You can do it, Taku!
06:05I can do it!
06:07Two hours later.
06:09N-no, it's impossible.
06:12The whale shark is huuuuge!
06:15Don't you think it's amazing?
06:16It's even bigger than Nessie!
06:18Y-yeah, you're right.
06:21Come on, you're supposed to say something about that!
06:25Huh?
06:26You're too nervous.
06:29Sorry, it's just...
06:32By the way, it's getting quite crowded.
06:34I might get squished.
06:36A-are you alright?
06:38You're small, so, uh...
06:41How about this?
06:43Th-thanks.
06:45I knew it, it's still too close!
06:47I suggest holding hands.
06:50Huh?
06:51It's so we won't get separated.
06:54Uh, but I just broke up with my ex-girlfriend.
06:58What are you muttering about?
07:00Using your ultimate ability requires perfect timing, right?
07:03If you don't muster up the courage now, what are you going to do?
07:06You're right!
07:07Victory or defeat can be decided in an instant!
07:10If I hesitate, I might lose even in a situation where I could win!
07:14Exactly!
07:16Holding hands in this crowd is the winning move for safe movement!
07:20Exactly! That's what I meant!
07:23Thank you, Hikaru!
07:25W-well, it's just because we promised I'd teach you the strategy.
07:30But still, it's nerve-wracking!
07:32Phew, we finally made it through.
07:35It was so crowded.
07:36Thanks for helping me.
07:38You look cool, Taku!
07:40Uh, it's not a big deal.
07:43One hour later.
07:45Oh, there's an arcade! Let's go in!
07:47Do you like arcade games?
07:49I've always been into UFO catchers.
07:52I might be pretty good at them.
07:54Really?
07:56If I move this here...
07:59Hmm?
08:01Just a little more...
08:03Yes! Amazing, Taku!
08:06Ah!
08:07You're really good at this!
08:10It's not a big deal.
08:12That's not true! You've only spent 500 yen so far!
08:16Whether it's FPS or UFO catchers, spatial awareness is crucial.
08:21If you can grasp the position of things properly, you can win some prizes!
08:26Wow!
08:27Taku, you're really amazing!
08:30She's so happy just because I won a plush toy.
08:33Let's go take pictures as a memento!
08:36Come on! Get inside that photo booth!
08:38Photo booth?
08:40I've never taken something like that before!
08:43Don't press it! It's scary!
08:46You have to challenge new things, Taku!
08:49Stop it!
08:51Taku, come closer!
08:53I can't see our faces at all!
08:55Hey! You're too close!
08:57I have to do this to fit both of us in!
09:00It's impossible! Impossible! Impossible!
09:03Alright, let's do it this way then.
09:07Great! Now both of our faces are in the picture!
09:11Hmm? What's wrong?
09:13No, it's nothing. I'm fine.
09:16After that, we enjoyed the arcade for a while.
09:19However, a serious problem emerged when we checked into the hotel.
09:25Hikaru, I'm sorry.
09:27Huh?
09:28There's only one bed.
09:30I forgot that I booked a double room.
09:32Oh...
09:34I'll sleep on the floor, or in the hallway, or on the beach.
09:38Anywhere but the same bed as you.
09:40No way! Why?
09:42Don't worry about it!
09:44I have to worry!
09:46It's just not right for a guy and a girl who barely know each other to share the same bed!
09:50It's inappropriate!
09:52Girls want guys to be composed and take the lead at any time!
09:56Get your resolve together! Come on, let's go!
09:59Wait, wait!
10:01No, could it be that it's actually a normal thing?
10:04Maybe I'm just overly conscious of it?
10:07Times have changed, and I need to update my values.
10:10Nah, that can't be true!
10:13There's no way I can sleep!
10:15Even if I sleep at the edge, it's still the same bed!
10:19Oh...
10:25Well, I can't disturb her sleep, and I can't sleep here.
10:29I'll spend the night in the lobby.
10:31Huh?
10:32Where are you going?
10:34Uh, I'm not going anywhere.
10:37I'm glad.
10:39I shouldn't worry her, right?
10:41I guess there's no other choice.
10:43I'll try to sleep at the edge.
10:45The next morning.
10:47It's hot.
10:56Good morning.
10:58Not good morning!
11:00Why are you so close?
11:02Huh? I don't know.
11:04Anyway, you stay on your side.
11:08After that, to pass the time until our flight,
11:11we went to the nearby beach.
11:13A beach means swimsuits.
11:16In other words, I might see her in a bikini.
11:19What are you daydreaming about?
11:23Let's go swimming already!
11:25No, one-piece swimsuits are the best!
11:28Like an angel.
11:29What's wrong?
11:30Are you still feeling down because of the breakup?
11:33It's not like that.
11:35I told you, let's have fun to the fullest!
11:37I said I'd comfort you, remember?
11:41Anyway, compliment me already!
11:44Huh?
11:45Girls want to be complimented on their swimsuits.
11:48If you see someone in a cool skin in a game,
11:50don't you compliment them?
11:52I think so, maybe.
11:54What's with that answer?
11:56I bought this swimsuit just so you could appreciate it.
11:59She bought it for me?
12:02After various events,
12:04the one-night, two-day trip ended in no time,
12:07and we returned to the local station.
12:09What are your plans after this?
12:11I want to play games!
12:13I haven't played for two days
12:14and I'm starting to have withdrawal symptoms.
12:16Me too!
12:17My house is close from here.
12:19If you want, we can play games together at my place.
12:22Really?
12:23I get to see your god-tier gameplay live?
12:26Awesome!
12:27Huh?
12:28If it isn't Taku.
12:30Uzami.
12:32What?
12:33The nerd has a girl with him?
12:35That's hilarious!
12:37It's none of your business.
12:39I can't imagine.
12:42You dating that girl, right?
12:44Taku?
12:45Who is this person?
12:47My ex.
12:49I see.
12:51You're with a nerd, you know?
12:53He just ignores his girlfriend
12:54and plays games all day.
12:55Is that okay?
12:57I have a lot of fun being with him,
12:59and I think it's wonderful
13:00to have something you're passionate about.
13:02Hmph.
13:03My boyfriend is way better than him.
13:06He's so handsome
13:07and understands women inside out.
13:10He's the perfect escort,
13:11making me feel like the best woman
13:13ever when we're together.
13:15Does that make you jealous?
13:17Not. At. All.
13:19Hmph.
13:20Let's go, Hikaru.
13:21We have nothing more to say to her.
13:23Wait, Taku!
13:25Oh!
13:26I get it now.
13:28She's just using you as her sugar daddy.
13:30What?
13:32I mean, she's cute in a childish way,
13:34but with someone like you,
13:35she'll follow along like a lost puppy.
13:38Ugh!
13:39Stop it!
13:40She's someone dear to me.
13:42What's gotten into you all of a sudden?
13:44Hikaru supports me both in games
13:46and in real life.
13:48She's amazing,
13:49and there's no one like her.
13:51Taku!
13:52She's not like someone selfish
13:54who only thinks about herself.
13:56I won't let you speak ill of her anymore!
13:58What?
13:59Uzami!
14:00Sorry to keep you waiting!
14:02What's going on here?
14:03Chado, help me, please!
14:05Who's this guy?
14:07Ugh!
14:08He's my ex-boyfriend.
14:09We just so happened to run into each other
14:11and he was mean to me!
14:13Wait, it's you?
14:15Huh?
14:16Making my girlfriend cry?
14:18I can't forgive that.
14:20His girl also said mean things about me.
14:22Isn't that terrible?
14:24You were the one who started it!
14:26What the heck do you think you're doing to my girlfriend?
14:29This loser picking fights with my girl
14:31is the same as picking a fight with me!
14:33Get it?
14:35I have no choice.
14:38Even an introverted guy like me
14:40has his limits!
14:42What's wrong, Hikaru?
14:44That guy is a famous playboy
14:46at our university!
14:48He's known for dating
14:50multiple girls at the same time
14:52and being hated by everyone.
14:54Just the other day, he got caught
14:56dating five girls at once
14:58and it caused a huge fight at the university.
15:00What's with you?
15:02I remember.
15:04He's currently targeting girls
15:06Hey, wait a minute.
15:08What do you mean?
15:10Usami, it's not like that.
15:12Is that true?
15:14Are you saying that I'm just another one of your flings?
15:16No, of course not!
15:18Well,
15:20he was bragging about taking on
15:22ten girls next.
15:24Shut up! Seriously!
15:26Usami,
15:28forget about these people and let's go!
15:32Your reaction confirms it!
15:34It's true, isn't it?
15:36I won't forgive you for playing me like this!
15:38Wait, please! I'm serious!
15:40Usami, believe me!
15:42While they're busy fighting,
15:44I'll make my escape.
15:46Got it!
15:48Ten minutes later.
15:50I'm sorry for surprising you earlier.
15:52It's totally fine.
15:54If anything, I'm grateful that you protected me.
15:56When you called me an important person,
15:58I felt happy.
16:00I didn't want you to get involved
16:03in the trouble I caused.
16:05You've seen such an embarrassing side of me.
16:09But I've seen plenty of that side during this trip.
16:11You're right.
16:13And besides,
16:15I don't mind getting into fights for your sake.
16:17Because,
16:19well,
16:21it's because I like you, Taku!
16:23Huh?
16:25But we just met yesterday.
16:27We've been playing games together for so long.
16:29Yes,
16:31I was in the virtual world.
16:33Is it wrong to develop feelings
16:35through chatting games?
16:37It's not that, but...
16:39Taku,
16:41you're strong, yet not arrogant.
16:43Kind to everyone, and I've always admired you.
16:45As we spent time together on this trip,
16:47my feelings grew even stronger.
16:49Hikaru...
16:51Am I not good enough?
16:53I'm really happy,
16:55but it's just all so sudden.
16:57I'm not sure what to do.
16:59I see.
17:01It was too much, huh?
17:03No, but I appreciate your honesty.
17:05So maybe let's start as friends first, okay?
17:09Got it!
17:11For now, being friends is fine.
17:13Thanks.
17:15But I'll make sure you realize that I'm the best partner for you.
17:17Get ready for it!
17:21A few days later.
17:23The story of Uzami being played by Charao
17:25became a topic of gossip
17:27within the university.
17:29The proud Uzami reportedly
17:31asked Charao for a serious relationship,
17:33but was rejected.
17:35She even approached me for reconciliation,
17:37but I politely declined.
17:39According to Hikaru,
17:41Charao seems to be facing
17:43a series of failures
17:45in his pickup attempts.
17:47As for us...
17:49Oh, Taku's in first place again!
17:51He's been winning continuously, as expected.
17:53It's just a coincidence.
17:56Oh, I mean...
17:58It's because you're cheering me on, Hikaru.
18:00That's right.
18:02Properly expressing gratitude to a girl
18:04is the right move.
18:06Are you Taku?
18:08I watch your streams. I'm a fan of yours.
18:10Huh? There are fans of mine?
18:12Ah!
18:14Taku, your ego is inflating!
18:16It's not like that!
18:18Huh!
18:20I don't know this, Taku.
18:22Sorry about that, Hikaru.
18:24Remember,
18:26I'm the one who will be Taku's lifelong partner.
18:30The day I'll be conquered by her
18:32is probably not too far away.
