It is so hard to get a read on this girl; does she care about anything? What could possibly have happened to her to make her so distant...?
Isn’t it obvious? Everyone hates high school, don’t they? And nobody stays in touch after they leave. It’s all… meaningless time. So why waste your energy making a book of memories you’d really rather not even have? Everybody just drifts away... Or they realize that the people they thought were their friends weren’t really friends to begin with.
What if you could skip through your classes easily… With no effort at all? Perfect grades without having done any homework, perfect attendance without ever going to class. Wouldn’t you want to do that?
The truth is… There is no "big thing" that happened. One day, I woke up, and I just started feeling this way. I’d go to practice my priestess duties, and for the life of me I couldn’t remember why I wanted to. I’d look around and just think it all felt so hopeless.
They say, "It's a town full of losers, and I'm pulling out of here to win."
When I came to Namco High, my bike was broken. I can do basic maintenance, but the problem was too complicated... Dr. Tomari helped me fix it. I owe him one. Anyway... Ever since then, he's been helping me calibrate it.
I'm not... Much for words. Sometimes it's easier to show a person.
Yeah. You're right. I should consider your feelings. We can't wait around forever, but this feels like the right thing to do.
One of those weird exchange students who's always out to get the scoop.
Yes, I have to admit that’s true. Actually, I’ve been meaning to try to go a little farther with my investigative reporting lately. After all, there are plenty of good mysteries afoot at Namco High!
Hey now! Shut up! There’s no call for language like that. I’ve been listening to you jabber on and on about how “strange things” are going on… Just because you refuse to use your brain and think about how implausible those things really are!
Er… Not exactly. We both died. But then… I was revived, and I was wearing this outfit. And I had these… Lifey powers… I was able to restore you too.
A top of the line engineer and roboticist who takes one too many liberties with school property...
Ha! And, did I mention: HA, HAHAHA? No, what perplexes me isn’t the banal drudgery that passes for homework at this school. It’s a complex engineering conundrum of my own design!
I calculated the damage to school spirit, morale, and morals of the entire student body if Namco High loses the next Robot Battle Brawl match against Evil Namco High. Cousin, it would be disastrous to the power of catastrophic. I had to invent a whole new word to describe it: DISASTROPHIC!
Hm? Oh, Cousin. It’s you. I was just scavenging for anything useful they might have left behind. SO I CAN THROW IT AWAY!
Where did this guy come from so fast and why does he seem to have information on everyone?!
Ordinarily, no. But everything is connected, Cousin. Literally, or figuratively, or directly, or indirectly, or sympathetically, or spatially. BUT ALWAYS CHRONOLOGICALLY. Therefore, with precision timing, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
I eat fast food, of course. But drive-thru only. No one has time to park, walk inside, wait in line, order, wait for it, walk to a table, sit down, eat, and then throw away the trash, and walk ALL THE WAY BACK to the car, AND THEN leave. That’d be crazy! No, you do the drive-thru. And the food can only be eaten while driving to wherever it is you’re going, and you can only drive at maximum speed because what’s the point of going any slower UNLESS you’re on your way to going as fast as you possibly can.
He’s too ordinary. Suspiciously ordinary. UNUSUALLY ORDINARY. And if you think about it, that makes him EXTRAORDINARY. And that’s not even counting the stuff that makes him WEIRD.
A member of Namco High’s faculty, who does… something? In any case, he shows up when he is needed to dispense sage wisdom, which is usually something along the lines of “Be true to yourself.”
These kids today, with their roleplays and their larps and their TCGs. I don’t get it, but bless their little hearts.
It’s just that you are LITERALLY A BIRD.
Wait, maybe you’re like those bizarre exchange students… on second thought, maybe DON’T be true to yourself… ...and you're already gone. Well… I’m sure no harm will come of that. Yup.
A minor character who serves as an MC, a waiter, and a referee.
That was... Really rad. Really.... rad. Anyway, Our next poet is from auto club. Give it up for... Hiromi!
How’s that lovebird special coming-Oh, it’s just you. What happened to your date? …YIKES. That’s rough. Tell you what- it’s on the house.
TIME! THIS WRESTLEBALL MATCH IS OVER! TAIRA NO KAGEKIYO WINS SINGLEHANDEDLY- AND IN RECORD-BREAKING TIME! GOOD GAME, EVERYONE! WELL, MOSTLY JUST TAIRA.
Part of a trio of students, whose purpose varies depending on the route.
I know! This place is for, like, good guys. Isn’t it dangerous to let someone like Meowkie in? No matter where she goes to school... She’s still a henchman for a bad guy!
Uh-oh, now you done it, Captain. The shrimp is mad at ya.
MORE LIKE ANTI-BRAVEMAN. BECAUSE HE'S LIKE... NOT BRAVE AT ALL
