Part 85: Super High-school Level Update #75

Of course Sakura and Kirigiri are unavailable. It wouldn't make much sense if they were, would it? Sakura is locked in her room the entire day, and Kirigiri gives a one line "I don't want to talk to you." if we approach her. So instead,

What is it? Are you thinking about who you're going to kill?

You should give it careful consideration. It's essential for winning this game...

...What should I do? Should I spend time with Togami-kun?

Spend time / Go somewhere else

...Very well. I can spare some of my precious time for you.

You should be thankful for it...

I spent some time with Togami-kun...

I think we became a little closer...
Should I give him a present?

Give / Do not give

Moon rock: A rock brought back from the moon by the Apollo program. The composition of moon rocks differs depending on the place they were dug in. This one is from the "Sea of Tranquility".

............

I can accept this.

I think he's a little happy...?

............

...I have one question I want to ask you.

Eh? You have a question for me, Togami-kun...?

It's been troubling me for some time now. I just want this mystery settled...

You're known as a "Super High-school Level Good Luck"... What does that mean?

U...Um...

I'm not really sure myself...

It's just that I've been chosen in a lottery among every regular high school student in the country.

So it really was just simple luck...

...I see. In that case, the mystery is solved.

Mystery...?

The reason why a person with absolutely no talent such as yourself is enrolled in this school...

No, strictly speaking, I should've said "a boring person with no hope of ever acquiring a talent".

A boring person... With no hope of ever acquiring a talent...

T...that's a little severe...

But it's the truth.

...I guess, when compared to a "Super High-school Level Heir" such as yourself...

But... even I...!

Don't sum me up as just being a "Super High-school Level Heir".

It's not just about my bloodline. My mind, figure and physique are all Super High-school Level...

I might as well be called "Super High-school Level Perfection"... That's what you should refer to me as from now on.

H...he's really going that far...

A person like yourself, who has nothing, and a person like me, who has everything. Truly, humans are not created equal.

Naegi, you have my sympathy. Life sure can be cruel.

............

Even I am able of some compassion. I'll do you a favor and tell you more about my magnificent deeds some other time.

You should be honored that someone as plain as yourself gets to hear them directly from the man himself.

Togami-kun left those words of pity, and walked out of the room...

I think I understood one thing about Togami-kun...

Talking to him... is like taking a blow to the ego.

We get the skill Calm Composure: Our target cursor shakes less during school trial.

With my spirit half broken, I decided to go back to my room.

There's still time left today...
I can't just stay in all day. I should go somewhere...

Each and every player should play their own part to their utmost ability... That kind of individual play is what true teamwork is all about.

Those are the words of Yuji Matsuo, the rugby player, y'know.

We must get through this by doing that kind of teamwork too!

What should I do? Should I spend some time with Asahina-san?

Spend time / Go somewhere else

So, do you wanna relieve some stress by light jogging?

I ran around the school with Asahina-san for a while.

I think we became a little closer...

Should I give her a present?

Give / Do not give

I have just the thing.

Floatation-ring Donuts: Large donuts that can be used as floatation rings. Of course, you can eat the donuts while floating in the ocean. Several types of glazing are available.

Eh?! Can I have them?! Are you really giving them to me?!

Ah~~! So happy~~!

Seeing someone so happy with my gift... makes me a little happy myself.

............

...Is something wrong, Asahina-san?

............

I... can't take it anymore...

I can't do the kind of sports I need to in this place. I can't take it anymore!

I wanna run an outdoors marathon! I wanna swim in an outdoors pool!! I wanna do outdoors sports!!

A...Asahina-san! Calm down!

I'm gonna die if I don't exercise... Just like bunny-rabbits...

Um... I think the story about rabbits is that they die when they're lonely.

Whatever! I'll die! If I don't exercise I'm just gonna die!!

I...I really don't think that you're going to die...

Do you think I'm joking...? It's true... If I don't constantly move my body...

If I don't... there's no way I can keep going to 6 sports clubs...

...Six clubs!?

The track-and-field club, the basketball club, the baseball club, the volleyball club, the tennis club, and my main one...

My main club was...

............

She's getting depressed just trying to say it... I know what Asahina-san's main club was, of course...

The swimming team / The go home club / The Wandervogel club

"The go home club" is Japanese high-school slang for students who don't participate in any club activities.

It was the swimming team... wasn't it.

Yeah... that's it...

That's the one thing I want most of all right now... An outdoors swimming pool...

...Wasn't it too difficult even for you, Asahina-san? I can't imaging participating in so many clubs...

I told you. If I don't exercise I'll die. And also...

I want to challenge myself with new things.

Challenge yourself...

...The time I get most excited about sports isn't the time after I've won.

It's that uncertain time when I struggle and I'm still not sure if I can reach the top or not...

That's when my chest feels as if it's about to burst open. When I feel excitement and anxiety...

When I finally reach the goal, it's just lonely. After you climb up all the way to the summit, there's surprisingly nothing there...

I don't do much sports myself, so I'm not sure what she means, but...

The fact that she can feel so much excitement just from the struggle is what makes Asahina-san so amazing...

So, y'see, the field I get those feelings the most is my speciality, swimming. That's the stage I want to fight in.

My goal is to reach the highest summit of all.

The highest summit...?

The gold medal, of course!

My goal is the gold! Even if I sound stupid, I want the gold!

"Stupid"... at least it's coming from her.

Well, in that case, that's even more so, isn't it?

If you're after such a tough goal, how come you have the time to make excuses?
