Touma comes home and goes directly to his room to turn on the computer.

Amehime cheerfully says: "Welcome!"

Touma replies: "Better found than mentioned, but you said something was waiting for me after I completed the quests."

Amehime responds: "Oh yes," as she opens a folder containing specific files.

Touma, surprised, exclaims: "This is..."

Amehime confirms: "Yes, I managed to find the entire programming script. I'll teach you programming."

"You'll need it because you're joining the Game Development Club."

Touma, still surprised, examines the scripts.

Touma asks: "This is hard to find, where did you get all this?"

Amehime smiles and says: "I can't tell you."

"By the way, I've prepared some small quests for you this weekend."

Touma thinks to himself, annoyed: "Of course..."

Amehime says: "I'll send them to you tomorrow. It would be good for you to rest now."

Touma replies: "Alright."

Amehime says: "I also have a few suggestions. I know what you look like, but you could work on your appearance. For example, getting a new hairstyle would suit you, and some modern clothes would be good for you too."

"It's not that you look bad, you actually look good, but if you want to win back Tenshi, who rejected you, and impress the one who humiliated you, you won't get far with that style."

Touma says: "Hmm, I can manage my hairstyle somehow, but I don't know anything about fashion."

Amehime replies: "Leave that to me. You have a camera on your phone, so I can see you, or you can take me with you."

Touma asks: "Can I?"

Amehime responds: "Yes, whenever you want to take me along, just say so. You'll find my character file in the game files, and you can transfer it to a USB flash drive or another device, like a phone."

"I hope you'll take me out somewhere sometime, maybe on a date."

Touma thinks: "Hmm... Maybe I could..."

Touma says: "Hey Amehime, do you want to go out... Its a date?"

Amehime surprised says: "A d-date?"

Amehime very happy replies: "Yes"

At school.

Touma, as usual, arrives at school with his friends.

Fuyuhiko: "Hey, Touma, did you finish the history project?”

Touma: "Not yet I got stuck on the section about the Edo period. Can you help me out later?"

Fuyuhiko: "Sure! Satoko, how about you? Did you find it difficult?"

Satoko: "A little, but I managed to finish it. I can help you guys too if you need it. The part about the samurai was really interesting."

Fuyuhiko: "Yeah, let's meet in the library after school to work on it together."

Touma: "Sounds good to me. Thanks, guys!"

Satoko: "No problem! See you both later."

On the way to the library, Touma runs into Nanashi.

Nanashi didn't notice his presence, she looked really gloomy.

Touma: "Hey!" He said a bit louder

Nanashi came back to reality: "Eh? Touma?"

Touma: "You seem a bit down, did something happen?"

Nanashi: "Oh it's nothing, I've been thinking about my club a bit.."

Touma says: "Oh, I was gonna ask you something about it actually…"

Nanashi interrupts him with a downcast look: "It's okay, we're going to shut it down anyway because we don't have enough members. No one has come to join the club..."

"The Student Council President, Matsumoto Kirara, said that they will shut down our club..."

Touma says: "Um..."

Nanashi interrupts him again: "Don't worry, I'm used to failures..."

Touma sees that her eyes are filled with tears.

Touma thinks to himself: "No doubt, she cares about the club. We're the same, failure after failure... But I met Amehime, I have friends. Meanwhile, she is all alone..."

Touma listens to what Nanashi is saying.

Nanashi, with a smile says: "I think it's time to give up on the club."

Touma notices tears welling up in her eyes, just about to cry.

Touma exclaims: "Stop! Give up on the club? You're kidding me. You put effort into creating this club, you all tried to make a game, and even if it didn't turn out the best, you're really going to give up after that?"

"I've also faced many failures, downs, and so on... But I didn't give up. I want to help you, and that's why... I…"

Touma stops for a second.

“I'll join your club!"

Nanashi looks surprised, as if the sun had just come out.

Nanashi, with a smile, says: "Heh... Thank you.

Then Nanashi leaves just like that.

Touma looks at her in confusion as she's walking away. Wondering if he said something wrong or if he hurt her more in a way.

Touma: "Hey, Amehime."

Amehime: "What is it?"

Touma: "Did I said sething wrong?"

Amehime: "I don’t think you did"

Touma: "You think so? I gave her a motivational speech and I told her I would join her club, and she just says thanks like that and walks away?"

Amehime: "Meh, I wouldn’t worry about it. Maybe it's just not her day"

The next day.

The next day, Touma got up early to get ready for his date with Amehime. He then received an email with the quests.

Touma says: "Alright, let's go."

Touma turns on the computer.

Amehime greets him: "Good morning, Touma"

Touma, surprised, looks at her different hairstyle and outfit.

Amehime says: "Um, it's kind of uncomfortable that you're just staring like that."

Touma stammers: "Oh, um... You look nice."

Amehime blushes for a moment and says: "T-thank you, we should get going."

Touma replies: "Yes."

Touma transfers her into his phone.

In the city

Touma thinks to himself: "Ugh, crowds..."

Amehime says: "I know you don't like crowds, but this is a chance to learn how to deal with them. You'll be fine"

Touma responds: "Okay"

"Besides, I'm not sure where we should go because... I haven't been on dates before"

Amehime says: "Hmm, I have an idea."

At the hairdresser's

Touma says: "Hmm... I don't even know what style would suit me."

Amehime responds: "I think something like this would look good on you," showing him a picture.

Touma agrees: "Alright," then turns to the hairdresser "I'd like this hairstyle."

Half an hour later

Amehime exclaims: "Ooo, it looks better than I imagined"

Touma, surprised, looks in the mirror: "You're right."

He turns to the hairdresser: "Thank you, goodbye."

Amehime suggests: "Now we could go shopping. Such a handsome young man should also have a nice sense of style"

In the store

Touma asks: "What do you think about this one?"

Amehime replies: "Hmm, try a lighter shade"

Touma then asks the salesperson: "Excuse me... Do you have this in a lighter shade, size..."

Amehime says: "Ohh.. You look cool"

Touma responds: "T-thank you"

Walking through the mall, Touma stops in front of a manga store, hesitating whether to go in.

Amehime says: "It's okay, you've earned it."

Touma asks: "Are you sure?"

Amehime replies: "Yes, I might not be an otaku, but I do read a manga every now and then."

Touma, visibly happy, enters and looks for the latest installment of his favorite manga.

Touma: "Oh, good, there's one left."

Quests completed.

Amehime chimes in: "Congratulations, hero"

"By the way, a reward for completing the quests is waiting for you at home. Now, let's continue our date"

In the evening Touma and Amehime return home.

Amehime says: "Ohh... I had a lot of fun today."

Touma responds: "Me too, it was a new experience."

Touma enters the house and sees his brother's shoes.

Touma says: "I'm home."

Tadao replies: "Welcome back..."

Tadao surprised says: "Oh Touma, you look better than the last time I saw you."

Touma replies: "Yeah, I changed my style a bit."

Tadao teases: "Ohhh you found a girlfriend? huh?"

Touma looking away stammers: "N-no, just decided to change my style a bit."

Touma thinks to himself: "I can't tell him about Amehime."

Tadao says: "I see..."

Touma says: "I'm heading to my room, good night brother."

Tadao replies: "Good night."

Touma immediately turns on the computer, returns Amehime to the game, and then starts the game.

Amehime angrily says "Hey, you didn't want to introduce me to your brother just now, and you even said you don’t have a girlfriend!"

Touma replies: "I couldn't show you or say that you're my girlfriend because it would only complicate things, he would definitely think I'm a total weirdo."

Amehime responds: "Ohh... I understand, sorry"

Touma says: "Though, I'm not planning on showing you to anyone else..."

Amehime replies: "Okay..., by the way, here's your reward."

Touma opens the file.

Touma, surprised, exclaims: "This is... a volume of the manga that hasn't been released yet! I haven’t even read the one I got.”

Amehime playfully says: "I can’t tell you"

Touma asks: "You didn’t hack someone's computer, did you?"

Amehime, looking away stammers: "M-maybe just a little, I didn’t steal anything, just copied"

Touma responds: "Ohh... Don’t do that, I could get in trouble, and besides, that’s a violation of copyright."

Amehime says: "Well, I only gave you a copy, so I haven’t infringed on any copyrights"

Touma says: "Jeez... give me a break."
