And the winner of the Kamiyama Gaming Tournament is... Nene Kusanagi! Congratulations!
Gaming Tournament Host
Her incredible high score left the contestants in the dust! Could we please have a few words, Ms. Kusanagi?
Gaming Tournament Host
Your score in the shooting game category deserves a special mention! Could you give us some tips on how to get better at shooters?
Mizuki
Ugh, I'm not making any progress. Plenty of people have seen him, but too many witnesses can be as bad as none.
Classmate A
Hm? Hey, look. It's Mizuki!
Classmate B
It's been ages! I didn't think you'd show up!

Classmate A
You know, if Mizuki doesn't like people pointing it out, why not just dress normally for school?

Classmate B
I know, right? Of course people are going to say things when you stand out like that.
Classmate A
That's just the way Mizuki is, I guess.
Classmate B
Totally. Some people just don't know how to blend in.
Mizuki
Hey, good to see you again! The festival seemed fun, so I thought I'd check it out♪
Classmate A
But... Why aren't you wearing the class T-shirt?
Mizuki
Well... I was offered one but getting changed seemed like too much of a bother, so I figured I'd pass.
Classmate A
Hm. Yeah, I see your point. I guess wearing the same T-shirt as everyone else in your class is pretty cliche and uncool.
Classmate B
Yeah! It's a class event so I put mine on too, but it makes me kinda cringe.
Classmate A
Hey, do you want to check out the festival with us? It's been so long since we got to chat.
Classmate A
Oh, okay. That's too bad.

<You were right. You can see the entire festival from up here. Thank you for showing me, Rui.>
KAITO
<But are you sure you wouldn't rather be with your classmates than on the rooftop with me?>
Rui
I love festivals like this, but my classmates always shoot down my ideas because they're too extreme.
Rui
Compatibility is really important when working on a project with other people. Which is sort of why I've always been an outcast.
Rui
Hehe. Thank you, KAITO. But to be honest, I never expected things to get better for me.
Rui
I thought it would be enough as long as others were able to enjoy them, even if I had no friends.

<Not at all. Take your time. I was thinking of heading back anyway. See you later, Rui.>
