Part 15: 5/3/09-5/4/09
5/3/09Our long weekend started today.

> You recall that a home-shopping program is on TV during lunchtime.
I decided to check out that shopping program.

> An irritatingly catchy song comes from the speakers
Singers: Here comes Tanakaaaaa Over the airwaves to youuuuu
> The home shopping show is evidently about to start.

Singers: Granter of your desires!

Well show you great items at unbeatable prices! Ooh, you wont be able to touch that dial!
Lets bring out our item of the day!
It iiiiis Yawn-B-Gone! Protects your health!
Oh my goodness! I cant believe its wonderfulness!
But wait, theres more!
Well throw in 2 Muscle Drink for only 1980 yen!
> It seems theyre selling a Yawn-B-Gone set for 1980 yen.
> You bought Yawn-B-Gone for 1980 yen.

See you next Sunday, same time, same channel!
> The catchy song starts up again
Singers: Here comes Tanakaaaaa Over the airwaves to youuuuu
> The shopping program is over
> You turned off the TV.
Ive heard good things about that Yawn-B-Gone stuff, I hope it lives up to its reputation. Akihiko was telling me about some kind of red Shadows that appear in Tartarus, Ive not seen one yet but they sound powerful.


And watch out for those red Shadows.
Theyre very powerful, so dont underestimate them.
Know what youre getting into before you attack one.
Itd be nice if he could help us out, but that huge Shadow really messed him up.




Things are getting worse and worse around here, it must be something to do with that ordeal.

Narrator: Episode 11: A Dangerous Game! Youre flying too much, Feathermen!
Newscaster: And now, the news
Today well look at the epidemic of youth depression, including an interview with the leader of the
I headed down to the bookstore for a bit at lunch.




> Bunkichi seems happy to see you.

Wait, where are the cups? Im afraid Im completely useless without my wife.
Just then Mitsuko returned, and she had terrible news.


> Mitsuko looks pale.


See, you have Aelita-chan worried too. You oughta know better than to walk that far at your age
> Bunkichi seems worried.

And heres one for you, Aelita-chan.
> Obtained Cylon Tea.
It seems theyre planning to remove the persimmon tree.


My wife heard a rumor that it was going to be cut down, and she almost fainted.
Do you know anything about it, Aelita-chan?


Im worried too. I tried to look into the rumor, but
I think I was barking up the wrong tree
> Bunkichi seems to be awaiting your reaction.

> It seems Mitsuko is counting on you.
> Your relationship is stronger now!
Ill have to see if I can find anything out.

> Its getting dark out.

Please let us know if you hear anything about the persimmon tree.
> After saying goodbye to Bunkichi and Mitsuko, you decided to go back to the dorm.
The chairman was at the dorms, I guess he does research on Shadows when hes not doing work for the school. I cant tell if hes joking about having a robot or not.


Thats why Im going to dedicate this entire weekend to analyzing data.
My only companion will be a robot. Hmm Perhaps Ill turn into a robot too! Hahaha!
Having a robot would be kind of cool, I guess. Oh well, time to get some sleep.
5/4/09
I dont know if I really enjoy time off where were just stuck here.

If Akihiko doesnt get to punch something soon hes going to lose it, I can feel it.


Ah, but theres nothing interesting on TV today.
Dammit, if only I werent hurt. There are plenty of times to do
The person on the news was super familiar, but Im not sure how.

Trish: Todays subject is a 20-year-old girl with bright blond hair.
They say her sister used to be a famous idol! I wonder what its like to have a relative like that!
Next is news. Pain, pain, go away!
I think we were all kind of bored.


I always have the worst luck on my days off
Though theres something to be said for having time to yourself.


I decided to spend some time helping out at the theater, I dont like all this dead time.

> You sweated it out by working part-time at the ticket counter and showing customers to their seats
> You dealt with a mass of customers at the souvenir shop in the short amount of time prior to showtime
> Your Academics has increased.
> You snuck in and watched a movie that was being played
> You Courage has increased.
> Obtained 5000 yen for working part-time.
> Its getting late.
> You decide to go back to the dorm.
We talked a bit about our strategies tonight.


Tch, you already knew?


If we have the first attack and can expect to do a lot of damage, then we should go on the offensive
If not, then its smarter not to attack and just focus on healing.
Always thinking two steps ahead when planning your battle strategy will lead to victory.
Mitsurus been busy training her ability to detect enemies.


We cant afford to let ourselves be surprised.
Shes definitely right about that, if another one of those huge Shadows does show up we want to know about it.
