A Love Situation with Echo
Shinjuku Academy
Several days passed after the incident at the botanical garden, and [Player]’s daily life returned to normal.
When it became the time to return home from school, the students left the school building and scattered.
In the middle of that… there was an unfamiliar silhouette, standing alone at the school gates.

| …Huh. Don’t tell me…
|
Echo?!
|
Why is she here?!
|
|
U-U-Um… I-I thought… I could contact you using the app, but…
|
|
I… I didn’t… know how to write a message…
A-As I though… talking to others… is hard.
|
| 3 options
|
| How can I help you today?
|
Did something happen all of the sudden?
|
Is there something bothering you?
|
|
Ah…Yes, I came here because I need your help, [Player]-san…
|
|
|
Ah… Y-Yes… It’s not like something happen all of the sudden…
I came here to talk with you…
|
|
|
Ah… N-No… N…Nothing it’s bothering me…
I came here to talk with you…
|
|
|
Uh… I… don’t… have many friends in Tokyo yet…
S-Since I don’t have… any friend to ask something like this, I thought I could ask you…
|
|
W-Would you… please… tell some “date spots” in Tokyo…!
|
| 3 options
|
| D-D-D-D—
|
Date spots?!
|
D-D-D-D-Don’t tell me, for you…?!
|
|
Y-Yes, date spots! S-Sorry… for asking something like this all of the sudden…
|
|
|
D-D-D-D-Don’t tell me, for you. I don’t have a special person yet… Uh…
|
|
|
B…Back then… I was thinking…… I want a new love in Tokyo.
|
|
But… I don’t know too much about Tokyo… And I’ve never… hanged out with friends…
|
|
N-Next… time… I fall in love… I don’t want to be seen as a “boring person”…!
|
| 3 options
|
| It was a traumatic issue…!
|
Alright, I’ll help you…!
|
Aren’t you being too impatient…?!
|
|
I-I don’t want it… to end like with Narcissus-sama…
|
|
|
Y-You’re going to help me…? I…I’m so glad…!
|
|
|
G-Gyumao-san told me… Time is money…!
|
|
|
I-It doesn’t matter… where… Would you please… tell me…?
|
| 3 options
|
| Hmm…
|
A place I can think of…
|
Where could it be…?
|
[Player] accepted Echo’s request and desperately began to visualize “a place they can think of” from their memory.
Shinya’s Cafe
| 2 options
|
| For the time being…
|
How about a “cafe”?
|
|
Still… Cafes are a bit tough for me… I’ve tried entering one before, but…
|
|
When people tell me “welcome”… I ended up responding “welcome”…
|
| 2 options
|
| This cafe might be okay.
|
It belongs to a friend of mine.
|
|
…Oh, just when I thought I heard a familiar voice. Hi there, [Player].
|
|
Ah… Uh…! T-Taromaiti…-sama?!
|
|
Echo and [Player] together, what kind of wind blew for you to do that?
|
|
I-If I have to explain it… Um… We became friend very recently…
|
|
Hahah, I see! If it’s [Player], it makes sense you can get along pretty quick.
|
| 2 options
|
| You know each other?!
|
Taromaiti… “-sama”?!
|
|
Echo is a junior at the same academy I attend.
We have different classes, so we don’t see very often though.
|
|
We asked Echo, as a member of the broadcasting committee, to help with the acoustic of the theater club before.
Since then, we started to talk from time to time.
|
|
Uh… Taromaiti-sama… Do you… happen to work here?
|
|
Eh?! Ah, yes, you could say so. It’s hard to explain.
|
|
Hahah, sorry for the surprise. You don’t talk to me too often after all.
|
|
This is Shinya Tennouji’s store, a place I visit quite frequently.
Today I happened to come here to help.
|
|
Shinya Tennouji…-senpai… I’m… bad at dealing with that person…
|
|
Um… I know he’s not a bad person, but… T-That person… has such an aura that I don’t like…
|
|
Ahahah, I see. So that’s why you were so evasive the first time you met!
|
|
You escaped at full speed as soon as you saw Shinya’s face after all, so both of us were really surprised.
|
|
In regard to Shinya, you don’t have to worry even if you don’t like him.
On the contrary, perhaps you would be able to get along even better if you dislike him a little.
|
|
Is… that so…? Then, I will to talk with him… next time.
|
|
…Still, it’s so strange. Echo, talking this much.
|
|
Don’t tell me… Is it because you are with [Player]?
|
|
Fufu. As her senior, I hope you get along, [Player].
|
|
If she is with you, I’m sure it would be okay no matter where.
Echo, it’s okay. Go and play.
|
| 3 options
|
| By the way…
|
You see…
|
There is something I’d like to talk with you…
|
|
Hmm… Date spots, huh? I can tell you about some places I’ve heard quite frequently from the customers.
|
- Phew*… I never expected to meet Taromaiti-sama here… It was quite surprising…
|
|
Taromaiti-sama is a senior I admire so much… She helped me… When I wasn’t used to the Academy.
|
| 3 options
|
| I agree with that.
|
So that’s why you call her Taromaiti“-sama”.
|
Do you address every person you admire with “-sama”?
|
|
Yes… Unlike me… She overflows with confidence…
|
|
Someday, I also want to become a person who can help others who are trouble… just like Taromaiti-sama.
|
|
|
T-That…may be true… Every time I meet a wonderful person… I have to call them “-sama” no matter what…
|
|
|
Ah… [Player]-san, look at the time. We have… to return immediately, right?
|
| 3 options
|
| I think we can visit one more place.
|
I can go to one place we learned about at the very least…
|
Today is not over yet!
|
|
Eh… Are you sure…? In that case… Where should we go?
|
|
Uh… [Player]-san… please chose one. I… I will go with you anywhere…!
|
| 2 options
|
| Well then…
|
If you insist…
|
| 3 options
|
| How about a theme park?
|
Shall we go to the sea?
|
A romantic… night view?
|
|
[Player] and Echo arrived to the theme park that Taromaiti told them about.
|
A theme park at night… I thought it would be livelier.
Places… as quiet and beautiful as this surely exist, huh…
|
|
Ah… [Player]-san. That mountain… Don’t you think it resembles someone? Fufufu.
|
|
[Player] and Echo arrived to the resort cafe that Taromaiti told them about.
|
I’m a wood nymph, so… I’ve never went to the sea.
Places as stylish as this surely exist, huh…!
|
|
Fufu… It’s quite lively… And the sound of the waves… It feels great…
|
|
[Player] and Echo arrived to a park nearby to observe the night view.
|
Even at the park at night… We can see a night scene clearly…!
It’s quieter… and more romantic than I thought.
|
|
I’m not good with dark roads… So I didn’t know such a wonderful place existed so near.
|
|
|
…[Player]-san. Thank you… for today…
|
|
I came to get along better with Taromaiti-sama…
And it seems I would be able to get along with Tennouji-senpai too…
|
|
And… I was told about such a beautiful place like this. …I’m so happy.
|
|
…Uh, [Player]-san. Would you hear me… and not laugh…?
|
|
…Someday… When I fall in love with someone… I want to confess my feelings in a romantic place such as this.
|
|
I absolutely won’t forget it what I learned from everyone…
|
|
What I leaned from you… I want… a wonderful love.
|
| 3 options
|
| I’m sure you would be able to.
|
I’m so jealous.
|
I was about to confess right now though.
|
|
Yes… I’ll surely have a wonderful love. You too, [Player]-san. For sure…
|
As she said that, Echo smiled, looking a bit embarrassed.
|
|
Eh… Jealous…? Did I… made you jealous…?
|
|
…That’s not it? Ah… [Player]-san… please don’t run away…!
|
Echo chased [Player], who was running away. Her face seemed to be slightly red.
|
|
…Eh, does that…? E-Eeeeeh…!
|
|
Y-You can’t do that…! We have to do things properly, starting as friends…!
|
|
That’s right, starting as friends…
|
|
No matter how much I like you… Ah.
|
|
Aaaaaah… Can you… please forget what I said…?
|
|
Are you okay with that…? Starting just as friends…
|
Echo asked while her face was bright red. In a faint… faint, low voice.
