Out of the prizes you've ever gotten, which is your favourite?

Year 1991

Did that building catch your interest, Ojou-sama?

It's a place commonly called an "arcade".

While it seems that you are intrigued, you must stay away from it.

It might look flashy on the outside, but it's actually a hideout for delinquents.

It's a place where vulgar people compete over trivial things...

Featuring lots of obscene and violent games.

Makoto-san

Huh?

In order to avoid sullying the name of the Oono Family, I must ensure you sisters become the best.

I know, right?

I have to make you fight head on to endure the Oono Zaibatsu's parenting policy.

Zaibatsu, "financial clique"

I know, right?

Seeing as there are no opportunities to meet people in this field of work...

I, too, am fighting on against the fear that I'll end up staying single for my whole life...

I know, right? ☆

Doing this detestable things again!

Makoto-san, stop it at once!

Do you intend to just forget about the fact that you're the daughter of the Oono Zaibatsu?

I told ya I'll take my studies seriously!

I'm just sayin' I don't want the Oono Zaibatsu's policies messin' around with me.

That's why I'm gonna allow myself to do what I want from now on!

Why should I learn things I don't even wanna do like arranging flowers or playing koto?

Koto, some kind of harp

Yo, little sister!

I gave up my duties as the eldest daughter of the Oono Family.

I can't stand this family's parentin' policies any longer...

Well, I'll leave the rest to you!

The future of the Oono household rests on your shoulders now!

Makoto-sama...

My goodness... This will make your dear father and mother very sad.

Maybe I was wrong to put my hopes on Makoto-san.

How vexing...

Listen, Akira-san.

To make up for your sister leaving, you should dedicate yourself even more to your studies now.

I'm giving back your tests!

First, Oono.

You're the only one to get 100 points on this test.

That's incredible, Oono-san.

How about watching a movie with me next time?

Hey, don't you know that Oono-san is always busy?

Let's check if there's a bone in that thing of yours!

Stop, please!

Don't run away!

St-Stop!

Yaguchi Haruo

You got your usual zero points.

You little rascal.

This is such an everyday result it's irritating.

Well, let's waste no time and get started with your studies then.

You're not concentrating at all!

Put more force into your waist!

There are appointments waiting for you at the mansion.

Gouda-sensei's lessons, arranged and conducted by Gouda-sensei.

First up is violin practice, then comes the piano lesson...

Followed by tea ceremony and flower arrangement.

Then on Saturday afternoon you will start off with horse-riding...

Then modern ballet.

Followed by naginata, mixed martial arts etc.

Oh no! The young lady stormed out of the mansion!

For real? Oh shi-

The fuck ya starin' at me for?

What did'ya say, asshole?

Want me to kill ya, faggot?

Just try it, cocksucker.

I'mma tear ya a new one!

I'm gonna take Ryu.

I suck at the Shoryuken command, so I guess I'll go for his pal Blanka.

I'll leave it to my instincts and use Shunrei!

Yeah, Shunrei for me too!

As for Zangief... Nah...

I mean, his looks...

Yeah, the 360° input for his screw pilediver looks impossible.

What's up with that girl? She pulled off the 360° input like it was nothing.

Maybe she can make it as far as the four heavenly kings?

Wow! She defeated each of the main characters and made it to the Four Heavenly Kings!

This means... We might even get to see Zangief's ending!

Have you seen this kind of girl at the arcade before?

Don't tell me this is her first time...

As if! She must've been practicing 24 hours a day!

She fucking did it! She defeated M.Bison!

I didn't expect to be able to witness Zangief's ending.

This girl... She's not normal!

Cody's and Guy's chain combos are the best!

Compared to them, Haggar's really inflexible!

He's hitting them once each...

That's the first time I've ever seen Haggar's chain combo!

She's a good girl...

Ojou-sama!

I had a hunch and came... So you really were here!

I was shocked when I heard that you stormed out of the mansion.

Now let's waste no time and go home.

Gouda-sensei is already boiling with rage.

Oho, you seem to be in quite a good mood.

Was that place to your liking?

A few weeks later

Wh-What a crazy girl!

She's already at 29 consecs!

She's such a young girl but she's incredibly strong!

Waiting Guile?

He chose such a lame tactic and still lost.

What a brat.

This girl here is resolutely fighting on!

Let's see, it's the third round. Will he keep waiting?

No, look!

That brat! Using such a dirty trick!

I won!

You bastard! What the fuck are you doing?

I don't think he's such a bad guy.

It's true, he might be an awkward kind of guy...

But he very much appreciates what a strong player you are.

An all-encompassing education... This is what I'll have you attain.

Right after your closing ceremony, you'll think it of it as hell.

Say... Are you usually able to enjoy your summer vacation?

Then... When it gets hard for you, let's run away again.

I'll take you to another weird arcade.

Wait, you're giving it to me?

Ah right, your parents are strict, so you can't have games at home.

Everything always seems so impressive... Whenever I'm with you.

We should go together sometime... Here.

Gaming events really are the best!

Hey Oono, let's check CodeVein out!

CodeVein is a game where you gather a large group of allies who'll help you out throughout the game.

Check out those vampiric attacks!

The girls are also really cute!

You're also able to choose the character you want to play as.

Together we'll make the best character and overcome everything!

What's wrong Oono? You're blushing.

Year 1996

Amazing...

Even an amateur like me can tell.

The game industry is steadily evolving.

Yeah, things are getting more hectic in both the industry and the games themselves.

Haruo... how have things been going lately?

What do you mean by "things"?

Things with Oono-san.

Why are you suddenly bringing it up?

During such a critical time, right before the stage's three bosses.

So no developments then.

You're a soft kid after all! I bet you don't even know how to make progress.

Is it really okay for you to be so easy-going about this?

You shouldn't just leave a cute girl like Oono-san alone like that.

What's that supposed to mean?

High schoolers these days are pretty advanced, in more ways than just one.

We're not kids anymore, you know?

Everyone's worked up over wanting to get boyfriends and girlfriends and stuff.

I'm sure Oono-san is no exception, you know?

What are you going to do if the next time you see her, she's dating some other guy?

I don't really know...

I mean, what would you do if you started dating a girl, Miyao?

You're turning this on me now?

Let's see... I'd take her to see a movie...

Or maybe we'd take a walk together in the park...

And do romantic stuff.

What sort of romantic stuff?

P-Pettin-

Pettin?

What are you trying to make me say in the middle of the street, Haruo?

Today let's go to your house, and have a passionate man-to-man talk about all sorts of stuff.

At my place?

Your education is just lacking, Haruo.

I'll teach you what you need to know.

So let's stop here and buy some snacks.

Ah, Hidaka.

That's right, this was your family's store.

You're pretty hard working, watching the store even on your day off... Right?

You here to buy something? If not, get out.

We're really busy today.

You were just playing some minigame though.

What did you just say, customer-san?

Come here for a second.

Hidaka, Hidaka! We just came to buy some stuff.

What?

Bring your face a little closer.

Hey hey! what are you doing?

I mean... He was pulling a face like he wanted to be slapped.

It just kind of happened.

Fine, I get it. It was all Haruo's fault.

Hey, you go pick out some snacks.

You've changed lately, Hidaka.

You used to have a softer personality.

You think? I'm the same as always though.

It's only natural to get annoyed when there are annoying guys around, right?

Yeah... Sure, but...

Even then, you're being a little unreasonable, Hidaka.

You know...

I don't know if this will help change his mind and all, but...

I was just about to go over to Haruo's house for a little chat.

Wanna come along?

The usual is probably alright for mom...

I'll come.

Is it okay to just leave the store like that?

It's fine, my mom's there.

Mom, I'm going out for a while. Please watch the store.

What the heck, these are not powered.

They're saving electricity. Let's go.

Yaguchi-kun, is it okay for you to be playing a game here?

It's fine.

To me, this is more important.

I won't go then either.

Then... There's one credit left, wanna join?

It's okay, I like watching over your shoulder.

I'm often being told that I'm secluding myself, but I don't think that's true.

On the contrary, I'd say that I've been able to break free of my shell.

I think that staying true to your ideals and not taking life too seriously is a good way of living.

Hidaka's here.

Then, let's go.

From that time, always...

I...

I've been chasing Yaguchi-kunìs back.

Oi oi, we're going to Haruo's house.

I know the way there.

Hidaka, how's school been? Having fun?

It's normal... Pretty boring I guess.

Are you still playing games?

I am.

It's lonely without the PlayStation I lent to Yaguchi-kun though.

That's harsh. I wonder who's fault that could be?

Haruo, hold.

Don't go any further.

Going home now would be...

Dangerou-

Haruo, wait!

Haruo!

Do we have a guest over?

For now, let's just head upstairs.

Do you think it's a nuisance, me being here?

No no, you're fine.

Why even bring that up after coming this far?

Are they playing shiritori?

Boukouen! Ah, there's the n.

TN: Boukouen (膀​胱​炎), "cystitis"

Ah, where have you been?

You kept two cute girls waiting who took all the trouble to come and visit you.

It seems like Moemi-sensei has started giving them more freedom.

She's still pretty strict though.

We were playing vulgar shiritori while we waited for you to come back.

You too Oono?

You're kidding right?

Is your butler not here?

If only he could return to being her personal driver...

I know, right?

I wish Akira could be freed from that tight-lipped driver already.

Then Oono would be able to stop and have fun on her way home sometimes...

Here, the usual.

By the way, Haruo...

Did you bring some people home with you?

Ah... Yeah.

Haruo-kun's friends are here?

Let's all play together then!

Hey, wai-

What's with this awkward tension in the air?

I feel an exceptionally strange aura...

Especially around that Hidaka girl, the one I met here last time.

As I suspected, something must have happened between her and that idiot Haruo.

Something... Slimy.

This boy...

Despite his looks, could he actually be a little playboy?

What's up?

Who would have guessed...

Who would have guessed that Oono-san would be here...

I never imagined the situation would turn out like this.

Haruo... I wonder what he's thinking in this situation?

He's just eating snacks all nonchalantly!

Urgh... This awkward silence...

I can't stand it!

Hey...
