(I'll be fine once we're inside...)

Mizuki

Listen

(No one should try to talk to me.)
3

Mizuki

Listen

(But what about the person at reception...?)
4

Mafuyu

Listen

“Escape From Kamiyama High School”... Is this it?
5

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, yeah...! Here we are!
6

Kanade

Listen

I like how just the name of it already sets the mood.
7

Mizuki

Listen

Hehe. It's good, right?
Anyway, let's head in and...
8

???

Listen

Akiyama.

Mizuki

Listen

...!

Mizuki

Listen

Toya!
Were you scheduled to work reception at this time?

Toya

Listen

No, I had a slightly later shift, but someone asked me to switch...
12

Mizuki

Listen

I see. I didn't know...
13

Kanade

Listen

Hello.
It's been a little while.
14

Toya

Listen

Yes, it has.
I didn't realize that you'd all be here today...
15

Toya

Listen

I hope you enjoy our escape room since I helped come up with a few of the riddles.
16

Mafuyu

Listen

Hehe. We will.
17

Ena

Listen

As far as I can see, your classroom's all covered in black curtains... What's waiting for us inside...?
18

Toya

Listen

You'll have to go in to find out.
Oh...
19

Toya

Listen

Since you're here, Akiyama, why don't you be the guide? Solving the riddles probably won't be very interesting since you already know all the answers.
20

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah, okay!
21

Mizuki

Listen

Then, I'll help you all navigate our escape room♪ So, let's go visit a world of riddles!
22

Kanade

Listen

It's pretty dark in here...
23

Ena

Listen

Are escape rooms supposed to be this creepy?
24

Mafuyu

Listen

I don't know...
25

Mizuki

Listen

Alright, everyone!
Welcome to “Escape From Kamiyama High School”!

26

Ena

Listen

Wait, what's going on?!
27

Mafuyu

Listen

I think we're getting the introduction.
28

Mizuki

Listen

While you were all diligently setting up for the school festival, somebody has trapped you inside your classroom!
29

Mizuki

Listen

Unless you find a way to escape within the next fifteen minutes, your teacher will surely come and scold you all for staying too late...!
30

Mizuki

Listen

So, your goal will be to escape by solving the riddles the perp left behind!
31

Ena

Listen

This seems kinda unfair...
32

Kanade

Listen

Even though we're the ones who are trapped, we're going to get scolded...?
33

Mizuki

Listen

Details, details!
Anyway, you all need to start solving the riddles!
34

Kanade

Listen

Umm... Where are they?
35

Mafuyu

Listen

Could the paper on that chair be one of them...?
36

Ena

Listen

Hey, you're right. What does it say?

Sound Effect: Play

37

Mafuyu

Listen

“Look to the box which has never seen rust”...?
38

Ena

Listen

A box that's never seen rust? What does that mean?
39

Mizuki

Listen

Heh heh heh!
Toya came up with that one!
Can you figure it out?
40

Mizuki

Listen

By the way, this is the easiest one. If you can't solve this, then the others are gonna be impossible.
41

Ena

Listen

Uhh... Wait, gimme a second...
42

Mafuyu

Listen

I think I know the answer...
43

Ena

Listen

Huh?!
44

Mizuki

Listen

What?! Already?!
45

Kanade

Listen

So, what's the answer...?
46

Mafuyu

Listen

I think it's telling us to look in the broom locker.
47

Ena

Listen

Huh?
How'd you land on that?
48

Mafuyu

Listen

Being resistant to rust is one of the key characteristics of stainless steel...
49

Kanade

Listen

Oh, I see...
50

Kanade

Listen

Most of these kinds of lockers are made of regular steel, but this one must be stainless steel...
51

Ena

Listen

Yeah, this one's a lot shinier than the ones you see in other classrooms...!
52

Kanade

Listen

Then, I'll try opening it.
Oh...

53

Kanade

Listen

Yes, here's the next riddle.
54

Mizuki

Listen

Grr!
You figured it out so fast!
55

Mizuki

Listen

But there's plenty more where that came from! You gotta keep solving them before time runs out!

56

Mafuyu

Listen

“If △〇△ is something red and ◆×◆ represents a nice gentleman, then what comes next?”
57

Mizuki

Listen

Hehe. This one's my riddle!
Can you guess the answer?
58

Ena

Listen

△〇△ is something red...?
59

Kanade

Listen

Oh...
I think I know the answer.
60

Mizuki & Ena

Listen

Huh?
61

Kanade

Listen

You mentioned the other day that you saw a riddle like this on a quiz program. So, the red thing must be...
62

Mizuki

Listen

What?!
No, why'd you have to remember that?!
63

Ena

Listen

“The animals which call this land home are birds, deer, bears and...?”
64

Mafuyu

Listen

I think it's telling us to look at the horse that's on display over there...
65

Ena

Listen

Wait, why?!
66

Mafuyu

Listen

You did say that you're good at geography, Mizuki.
67

Ena

Listen

What did geography have to do with that riddle?

Sound Effect: Play

68

Kanade

Listen

She's right. The next riddle's on the other side of this horse drawing...
69

Mizuki

Listen

Nooo! You might actually solve them all!
70

Ena

Listen

Seriously, what did geography have to do with that last one?!
71

Mizuki

Listen

Alright, the next one is the final riddle!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

72

Mizuki

Listen

Toya and I worked really hard on it!
So, let's see if you can solve it!
73

Ena

Listen

I need to get this one right... Wait, we only have three minutes?!
74

Kanade

Listen

Let's see... It looks like a crossword puzzle... We just need to solve this?
75

Mizuki

Listen

Heh heh heh. Since you're short on time, here's a little hint! You can solve this crossword puzzle using all the answers that have come up until now!
76

Mizuki

Listen

However, you have to use that solution to find the key to the classroom, so you'll need to hurr—
77

Ena

Listen

Ugh, there's no way we're gonna be able to solve this crossword puzzle in time!
78

Ena

Listen

Uhh...
Oh!
79

Ena

Listen

Hey, do you think the key's hidden around here?
80

Kanade

Listen

Huh?
Where those plushies are...?
81

Ena

Listen

I know it goes against the spirit of the game, but this is just my guess knowing Mizuki's personality...
82

Ena

Listen

There's no way the key is hidden somewhere normal or obvious like a treasure chest, right?
83

Ena

Listen

But something tells me it wouldn't be under a desk or behind a curtain or anything like that either.
84

Mafuyu

Listen

What makes you say that...?
85

Ena

Listen

Because it'd be hiding in plain sight. Mizuki has a talent for squeezing out the biggest reaction from someone, you know? Just think about our music videos. We're always talking about where it's gonna climax.
86

Kanade

Listen

Oh, good point...
87

Ena

Listen

Again, this is a complete guess...
But I have a feeling that the key is hidden somewhere amongst these plushies.
88

Mafuyu

Listen

We're down to two minutes...
89

Kanade

Listen

Then, let's look.
90

Mizuki

Listen

Oh...

91

Ena

Listen

Aha! There's something rigid in this one...!
92

Kanade

Listen

Wait, really?
93

Ena

Listen

Yes!
It has a zipper on its back! I think we can open it!
94

Ena

Listen

Hehe. And I can finally say that I got one of these darn riddles... Wait, huh?

Sound Effect: Play

95

Mafuyu

Listen

It says, “Swing and a miss...”
96

Ena

Listen

What?! No way!

97

Mizuki

Listen

And!
Time!
98

Ena

Listen

Noooo!
99

Mizuki

Listen

Man, you were so close!
You actually were on the right track!
100

Ena

Listen

Wait, so...!
What was the answer?
101

Mizuki

Listen

You were right about the plushies, but you didn't look up! Up!
102

Kanade

Listen

Oh...
There's a plushie hanging from the ceiling. I didn't notice because it was so dark...!
103

Mizuki

Listen

If you'd actually solved the crossword puzzle, then you would've learned the final keyword. Which was “ceiling”. The idea was to get you to look up and find the key inside it.
104

Kanade

Listen

I see...
105

Ena

Listen

Argh...!
I was so close!
106

Mafuyu

Listen

But all you did was take a stab in the dark.
107

Ena

Listen

Shut up!
108

Mizuki

Listen

Haha! Thanks for playing!
Head back to reception to receive a lovely consolation prize♪
109

Mizuki

Listen

(But...)
110

Mizuki

Listen

(Technically, she was right.)

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

111

Mizuki

Listen

(My original plan was to hide the key in one of the plushies sitting on that desk.)
112

Mizuki

Listen

(But Toya said right at the end that we should add an extra layer of intrigue.)
113

Mizuki

Listen

(They all know me really well.
They get me.)
114

Mizuki

Listen

(They remember all the things I say during our conversations and understand my thought process when it comes to our videos.)
115

Mizuki

Listen

(I can't help but smile whenever we're all together.)
116

Mizuki

Listen

(In other words, whenever I'm with them, I feel...)
117

Mizuki

Listen

(I want us to keep hanging out, but I also want them to know...)

Mizuki

Listen

(So...)
