Part 97: 8/18/09

8/18/09

They’ve got a summer film festival going on down at the theater, I probably wouldn’t have gone on my own but Rio called me up and invited me along.



They’re having a film festival there right now. I heard they’re running horror flicks all day today.
Doesn’t that sound awesome?
Really? Great! I’ll see you there!
> Rio seems excited…
> You have decided to go to the movies with Rio.

They had this really weird movie about some guy who teamed up with demons to fight a giant robot in the thirties, it was actually pretty good though.



> The theater is crowded because of the movie marathon. There’s a new theme each day.
> Today, they’re showing horror movies.
There you are! Geez, you’re late.
Let’s go grab some seats.
> ………
> You feel more courageous after watching the heroes in the movies survive…
Whoooo… That was tiring! I’m aching all over!
Watching three movies in a row was a little much… I wonder how many times the Earth got overrun…
They were fun to watch, though. And everyone was happy in the end, too.
Well, let’s go home.
> After saying goodbye to Rio, you decided to go back to the dorm.

School’s starting back up again soon.



We have less than two weeks until school resumes…
Fighting the Shadows is our priority, but you should still study some during the daytime.

The Chairman came by to nag us about not giving Koro-chan too many leftovers.



Please carefully consider what you feed him.

These people on Who’s Who continue to be familiar.



Female Reporter: Today’s subject is a man in his 20s, with a sour face—Uhm, I mean a handsome salaryman.
Though he hides it with his hair, the scar on his forehead is still obvious. I wonder what happened…
…Next is news. Pain, pain, go away!

There was another one of those surveillance videos.

It was from when we had summer school.



> It looks like Akihiko’s room…
> Akihiko is pacing around his room, looking upset…
Dammit… I’m still not over that business in Yakushima…
Is my way with girls really no better than Junpei’s…?
How could they treat me the same as his lame pickup lines…?
> ……?
> …Akihiko picked up a magazine from his desk.
“Are you able to make others laugh with a well-timed joke?”
Well… I can’t think of many examples, but I can do that much at least…
“Careful: Making others laugh and being laughed at are two entirely different things!”
……
“When people speak to you, do you try to respond with pure logic and reason?”
“This is a common mistake with inarticulate men. Try to consider what the other party is feeling.”
……
Tch… I gotta admit, they’ve got a point…!

Yeah, the advice was good but I don’t think that’s really Akihiko’s way of things.



“The two most important things are to smile, and have a good sense of humor!”
……
H-Hey there! What great timing to see you here! Good one!
I’m going to the Beef Bowl place, wanna come with…?
Humor… Humor…
Y’know, the Beef Bowl place… Hey… M-Maybe we could “meet” up there…!
Nrrrgh…!
What am I, the Chairman!?
That’s it! Screw this!
> …Akihiko started pounding the sandbag with all his might…
> The recording ends here…

He wouldn’t be Akihiko if he wasn’t kind of awkward.
