[00:00]

And the pitcher swings over...

It has been thrown!

I can see where it'll stop, here!

It got hit and flew away! Ahh– it'll fly over the window if they went over there

Oof *catches*

Oga-san, thank you!!

Thanks a lot Oga! You should join us later too when we're outside

Oh, is it alright with you?

Well of course! Let's do it at the inner park during the afternoon break!

If Oga gets to throw, there's no way you guys are getting the balls...

Nu-uh, I swear I'll try to catch any kind of ball being thrown at me!

Do your best!

Hey you guys, it's already time for class so get back on your seats now~

'Kay~ Oh, mornin' Robe-san!

Call me teacher, not Robe-san!

Hmm, looks like everyone is in a good mood today

Rikka is sleeping soundly though...

...Rikka,

Hmm... Haah...

W-Well, at least he attended class so it's all good!

I'll be taking the class attendance now-- Huh but, looks like the Asuma siblings aren't here yet

Izuru has always been late so that aside

I tried calling them but it got rejected though

Ohh, me too! Even though we have games to play today

Hmm... Maybe I should give them a call? Right then, Aragaki Oga

Here!

Kagenaga Shien

Here here here!!

Just reply normally please, next one Kishida–!

*door creaking*

 

[01:45]

Mornin'...

Huh, Izuru-san arrived earlier

What about Astel?

Huh, he hasn't arrived yet? He already left the house though

Huhh, it's not because of a part-time job or anything right?

Hmm– Well, I guess he just doesn't wanna come to school today?

That's odd, despite it all you guys actually like the school right?

Hmm... I think he just doesn't want to see me is all

Did you guys get into a fight?

A fight!?

It's a brotherly fight so it should be fine

But well, it's not everyday that you guys would get into a fight with each other

Hell, this is probably my first time seeing it

Since you both live together and attended the same school, it makes everything much more awkward too huh...

Izuru, is there a place where Teru would likely go to?

You don't have to ask Izuru for that one

The Game Center in the shopping district!

Of course!

Teru-san likes that place the most after all

Game Center at the shopping district huh...

I'll be heading out for a bit then, today's session will be self-studying!

Stay safe!

Lots of self-study sessions lately...

[03:03]

'right

Wow, you're really good at this!

H-HUH!? What the hell–

Hey look, the enemy is closing in! We gotta defeat them, right? Hurry before they got to us!

Geez–! Just pipe down a little, will you!?

Just what the heck is going on? You even bother coming to this place

You didn't come to class this morning so naturally I’m worried!

Heehh... So you've been trying to find me all over the town? And leaving the other teachers behind? How are you going to fix that?

Nah not really, everyone told me you might be here after all

 

Is that so? As expected from Yuuhi-sensei, now that you've tamed Shien and the rest, 

The next one in target would be me then?

What's with that attitude? Look here, Shien and the rest are just–

Just stop meddling in our lives!

...,

Even if there's something happen, we're still going to make do anyway

And you better do the same from now on!

Isn't that what the whole adult's sense of distance is like?

Just so you know, a hot-blooded or overcaring teacher is so last year!

[04:14]

I didn't come here to talk about the school fes

But still, please come to school properly at least

I counted my attendance record properly, 

Taking a break is also part of the student's privilege you know?

I still have my tuition too, or are you planning to drag me back by force? That's abuse you know

...I won't do that

But why are you so against it though? Did you get into a fight with Izuru–

I said mind, your own, business! Right?

Yes, yes you did

Then you better go back to that class where your cute students await~

Oh, that's a good pronunciation

I have quite the nice grades after all, even if I skipped around

Guess you're right

...Welp, just a quick break today wouldn't hurt!

W-What are you doing?

Hm? Well, since I'm here, might as well play a game or two!

Huh...!?

How many years has it been? Game Center nowadays are so bright and pretty! 

The machine casings are a lot bigger too, 

Hey! Which one do you usually play? You played some with Izuru too right?

You–, what about school!?

Call me teacher, please! I told them to do self-study already so I guess we can play for at least an hour

Is it really fine for a teacher to skip class like this?

Well once in a while should be fine, right?

 

Ohh, this one looks fun!

That one... Is pretty hard for newbies though

I may not look like it, but I used to be pretty good at games you know?

And how long ago was that again? 

Back when you were playing gadget games over at the countertop?

Obviously not! Oh, this is the one where you can play against each other, Teru let's go with this!

Huh!? Did you really think you could win over me?

(laughs) Well– you best be prepared when the time comes...

That's my lines though

Alright! As for the stage... Get ready, and fight!

Hmph

[06:21]

I got beaten...

Eh...? What was all that acting tough about then?

W-Well, I thought I had the upper hand for a moment–

You really think you can win over me? That's way too naive! What a noob~!

I can't even deny it...

But then again, I think I'm starting to understand you better thanks to this

Huh...?

You're actually pretty smart, isn't it? Or is it that you're just quick-witted?

I mean, you managed to predict where the enemy would be on a brand-new map, 

And you can quickly adapt yourself to new weapons too

Naturally that comes with good aim and stuff

I guess so...

You're really good at hitting people on their weak spots too!

Well, your scream was pretty nice to hear as well

That means you're looking after them, right?

...

I'm glad we decided to play together today

After all, this is the best way to "speak" with you guys

...Aren't you just stupid? Even skipping class and all that–

 

[07:32]

Huuuh? This isn't a place where students could loiter around ya knoow?

Aren't ya folks from Hoshikou? The hell are you doing here?

Hmm? Which school are you guys from? You're supposed to be at class now

Doesn't the same could be applied to us as well?

(laughs) Going to the game center with a teacher– 

I see Hoshikou continued to falter even further huh~?

You guys...

Man, you suck at provoking people

Anyway they're not worth dealing with

(scoff) Well of course! The only ones worth fighting for in Hoshikou were guys like Kagenaga after all, anyone else is just as good as a practice dummy

...Huh?

Ohh, aren't you one of the Asuma siblings? 

I didn't realize at first because you're alone this time!

Huuh? What happened to your pair? Don't tell me he's already getting his ass beat somewhere?

You bastard–!

Teru!

Don't try to stop me!

Well I won't!

Huh...?

I'll give you a hand, even

W-Wait, this has nothing to do with you though!?

Are you dumb? There's no way I'm leaving you behind!

...!

Oh shut up already! We're all pissed here thanks to Kagenaga you know!

Don't you dare lay a hand on him!

I'll be fine, bring it on!

You dumb–, don't forget you're still a teacher ya know!?

It won't be a laughing matter if you get caught beating up a student!

Ohh, so you're acknowledging me as a teacher huh?

HUUHH? It's, it's nothing like that!

I won't lay a hand so no worries

 

[09:12]

Don't look away now–!

Whoops

Yaagghh–!

Oops

Come on, if you keep missing your hit like that it'll be barely a fight!

Fxxking annoying... Yeaaghhh!

Whoopsies, come on I'm over here~

Agghgh!!

Teru, just focus on the ones in front of you!

Ahah... Even if you say that–

I think this amount of people would be too much for me to handle alone...

If you get on your knees and apologize in place of Kagenaga, we'll consider letting you go

Hmm... Obviously a no

Then stay right there as we beat you up!

Nghh–!

Wh–!?

Ten-chan (Temma!?)

Geez, I should've known it would end up like this

(exhales) m'kay, let's do this

You–, Temma you can fight?

Rather than fighting, it's more like that Ten-chan is...

W-What the!? That person just fell over on his own!

I don't really like using Aikido for fighting, but it can't be helped this time!

(laughs) You really are a genuine prince, huh...

I guess you're also a pretty good fit for Hoshikou

We'll finish this up before break time, alright?

Gotcha!

Okay, let's do this then!

[11:01]

Aughhh...!!!

How come the person who never threw any punches ended up with the most pain, huh?

Age really is the ultimate enemy I guess...

Oh shut up! O-Ouch..., 

I'm sure you'll understand this pain too in the next 10 years or something!

Teacher, I think you just need to exercise more

Can't you just join us during gymnastics or something?

You guys are just saying whatever now...

(laughs)

That aside, I didn't expect that Temma is actually pretty strong

I've known that for a while, but since Miyabi isn't here...

Does that mean you managed to tame him over too?

I've been saying, it's nothing like that at all! Ghh–! It hurtss~~

Come now, your hips might give out soon so give it a rest old man

Kuhh...!!

Well, it was Miyabi who told me to come pick you guys up though

So it was him in the end, huh!?

(laughs)

But you really are a fool

Huh...?

That kind of fight is an everyday thing for us Hoshikou students, 

It has nothing to do with you so you could've just run away

What are you saying, of course it does

I don't know how far Izuru has told you, 

But did you think of us as some pitiable children who have been left alone by their parents?

(laughs) As if! You just wanted to be more independent right?

Huh...? Then why–

Did you think I'm trying to save you because I'm an adult and all that? You got it all wrong

H-Huh...?

I can't just leave my friends alone, that's all

Friend you say–

We played games together! Doesn't that make us one already?

(giggles) That's right, weren't you always playing with Izuru too? It's the same thing, isn't it?

O-Of course it's different! Also, what's the thing about a buddy? Lame-ass!

[13:19]

...Back when I first met Izuru, we were only 7y.o. and we were both our parents' step-children, we spent all our time living together

Since neither of our parents ever came back, we just played games whenever

As long we could play together, nothing matters much

But your parents are trying to get you guys to move overseas together, right?

There's no way we would go! Suddenly telling us to transfer school and give us a plane ticket unprompted like that...

Right after ignoring us for so long, 

It's like they're just treating us like an item to put in their suitcase

 

Is that why you guys enrolled in Hoshikou?

Yeah that's it

But well, I guess they don't care much in the end!

Being blood-related doesn't mean we have to keep sticking together

As long we're together, even if we're not related by blood we can still call ourselves a family

If that's the case, you better show your happy face to Izuru quickly then!

He may not show it, but I bet he's quite worried too! He even arrived earlier~

You guys got into a fight right?

Stupid, don't mention it right on!

Well... Guess I have to apologize to him later at school

(laughs) Yep

Alright, let's run until we arrive at school then!

Wait no–! My back!! My poor back!

As a payback, Robe-san will be paying for our lunch today! Set– Go!!

You guys–!!

Come on, faster!

Don't get left behind now!

Ah..., geez

[15:16]

–And you see, Robe-san was just hopping around the game center all that time! It was so amusing it's like seeing a monkey! 

(laughs) I did my best trying not to laugh there, ya know?

Heehh, I should've gone there myself

I'm telling you man, it was once in a lifetime chance! 

Hmm..., Teru, you've started to trust him too I take it?

Huuhh!? Of course not! It was just one time anyway

Also he's way too damn weak! Oh right, we should beat him up together next time!

Sure~ Wanna hit the game center? Or should we play at home?

Umm, whatever's fine

Then I guess we needed to catch more fishes

Also...

I think, the school fes... Sounds like it’ll be fun after all

...Huh?

Not sure what we'll be doing yet though, but there will be a stage I heard

I see

Wouldn't it be fun if we could sing together there?

Yeah, I bet it would!

[16:47]

Well then, let us discuss what should we do for the school festival again! 

Does anyone have an idea to share?

How about something out of a typical festival? Like goldfish scooping, cotton candy-type stall?

Ohh, it's cheap if it's only once so I guess we can add something to make them keep playing?

Hey now, profits aren't the end goal by the way

Huuuh? Well, it is now! We can add something like random slots anyway

That one is a bit–

How about not putting any of the "jackpot" slots for the rolls?

Whoa–, Izuru is making some sly faces just now!

The goal this time is to satisfy the general public just so you know–

It's more fun like that, right!?

That's just your own satisfaction speaking–

Ah geez, now Izuru and Astel are on board with it

Hmm, seems like the results have turned in their favor then

What's so fun about a school festival?

...

You think so too right, Oga?

...I,

For me, I can do something much more fun than a school festival...

Like what?

Hmm? Well, for example–
