*Yawn*

*Giggle* Someone's sleepy!

Ahaha, I couldn't help it.

I'm actually a bit tired myself. I ended up watching that entire game tournament yesterday.

And I saw how well you did too, by the way.

Whaaat? No, I didn't do anything at all! It would've been game over right away if Rina hadn't been giving me directions.

Ahaha. I can see where you're coming from.

Yeah… I really should practice more. Oh, here's Rina now! Hey, Rina!

Hey.

Hi there. Sorry for making you come at lunch.

It's fine. I'm happy I get to have lunch with you.

Let's exchange side dishes, Rina.

Oh, I love your rolled eggs…

Eat up! I made plenty!

*Munch* Yum. Rina-chan Board says, “Swoon!”

You can have some of my sandwich.

Thanks! Don't mind if I do!

[Fade in/out.]

Hey, Rina, it seems like everyone loved yesterday's fan club game tournament. Did you see the messages they all sent?

They were saying stuff like, we should have another one or do a team match next time.

I saw. I was so happy with how many messages we got.

I watched it too. It was awesome how everyone managed to make it through the game under your direction, Rina!

Thanks. It's only because I've played that game so much, though. I'm sure anyone could do it once they get the hang of it.

Maybe so, but the fact that even the beginners had a good time shows how good you were at teaching them.

It's really nice how much your fan club interacts online, Rina.

They can watch your online live shows with a special app and even send you lots of supportive messages and stickers. It's so much fun!

It's incredible that you can make stuff like that all by yourself!

*Giggle* I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Rina-chan Board says, “Blush!”

By the way, did you see this message?

[Taking out phone.]

Could you make a game, Rina? You're so good at them, plus you can code. I bet you could make one.

I'm sure a fan club event where we all played a game that you made would be tons of fun.

[Putting phone away.]

…Yeah, I saw that. It kind of got me thinking, actually.

I'm sure that if I made a game, everyone would have a lot of fun playing it.

And I want to play more games with everyone, too.

Your very own game, huh? I'd love to play a game that you made.

I want to play with you too, Ayumu.

And me with you, Rina!

It would be nice if there were a game where I could team up with you.

Ahaha. You'd have to practice a lot to not get a game over right away!

…Yeah, I'll think about it. I bet it'd be really fun if I could make it happen.

Wow! Really?!

We'll do anything we can to help you, Rina!

[Fade in/out.]

(A game made by Rina… That sure would be fun to play with everyone.)

(Maybe we can discuss this a little more during club hours…)

Now then, be sure to fill out the career path survey I just handed out and turn it in before next week. Use this as a chance to think about your future.

That is all. Class dismissed!

(Career path survey…?)

[Fade in/out.]

My career, huh…

Hiya! You're heading to the clubroom, right? Let's go together!

A-Ai!

Hey, did they give you a career path survey in your class too?

Yeah! I'm not sure what I should write.

Huh?! Really? I thought you'd have it all planned out already.

Not at all! I mean, I've got so many things I want to do!

I want to revolutionize monjayaki, but I also think being an explorer would be cool, but also animal conservation sounds pretty sweet as well. And that's not even all of it!

Wow, that's impressive. I'm having the complete opposite problem…

I'm not sure what I want to do…

…Wait, no! I won't do that again! It wasn't so long ago that I got so focused on trying to deal with this stuff all on my own that I caused trouble for everyone else!

*Laugh* Don't start pondering all that all by yourself! Let me in on it too!

But hey, there's no reason to rush this stuff. You're already busy helping all of us accomplish our dreams together, after all.

Back then, I was thinking…

…maybe I'd prefer achieving a dream together with someone over doing it all by myself.

So I think in the future, I'd like to be able to help others accomplish their dreams.

That sounds like a wonderfully happy future to me, for both you and whoever you decide to help!

*Laugh* Thanks! I wonder if I can find a good way to phrase that in the career path survey.

Leave it to me. Hmm…

How about “Happiness Contractor”?

Th-That's way too embarrassing!
