"What are you going to do, Ryoji?"

That's the question asked of you as you find yourself in a very familiar position. Training in the early morning with Rei has seen her kick the crap out of you in the name of improving your combat skills. And it always end the same way, with you flat on your back, Rei sitting on your chest, with your arms pinned to the ground. And every single time she has you in this position, she feels it's her need to taunt you.

"Don't worry Rei, this time I'm breaking out," you reply with a smirk.

"I don't know Ryoji..." Rei replies, clamping down her grip on your wrists, "It seems to me that you're starting to get lazy, de-motivated... dare I say it..."

"Say what?"

Rei smiles. "...Content. I'm thinking you're starting to enjoy me having you down like this."

What a ridiculous idea. You're not some kind of pervert... okay, you are, but you're actually taking this whole training thing seriously. It's not just some excuse to get closer to a cute girl. A cute girl who kissed you... and almost definitely thinks you're cute too. And sure, the position you're in right now may have her straddling you, her warm breath hitting your face, and sure, she may not be pinning your arms down anymore, instead interlocking her fingers with yours, and she may be leaning in her face closer and closer until...

"You know, Akira told me she'd be late to this session..." she mutters, her mouth inches away from yours.

Could she honestly be suggesting...

"So... What are you going to do, Ryoji?"

Holy crap, she is. Well, you aren't the kinda guy who lets this kind of opportunity go to waste. You shift your head, leaning just a little closer, until...

"Hi guys!"

A shocked Rei leaps off you and back onto her feet. Red in the face, you turn your head to see Saki approaching and waving in a pair of shorts, with Akira following close behind.

>Hey Saki... why are you here?
>We were a little busy, Sak...
>DAMMIT!

>We were a little busy, Sak...

>>Hey Saki... why are you here?

>>128155
>>DAMMIT!

"Fuckity- fuck, shit-fuck. Shit. Fuck."

>DAMMIT!

>>128155
>>Hey Saki... why are you here?
Slowly come to your senses and realise what you were going to do was very silly thanks to seeing Saki.

Don't fuck up something good again, man, Wrestlequest was bad enough, lets just stay on track this time.

>>128155
>DAMMIT!

>Hey Saki... why are you here?

Why IS she here? She's never been interested in these training sessions before, why the sudden change? And why did she have to arrive now, of all times? Is Saki even real? Perhaps she's just a figment of your imagination, a spirit that only exists to ruin everything good in your life.

"I hope you guys don't mind me coming along for this training session," Saki smiles. "Akira said it was fine, so..."

"No, it's fine!" Rei nervously laughs, scratching the back of her head. "The more the merrier! Let's just... uhh... start running!"

Rei begins sprinting across the track, leaving the rest of you in their dust.

"She seems annoyed..." Saki mutters, "Did I interrupt something?"

You can't answer. You know if you opened your mouth to speak, all that would come out were screams of rage.

"O...k..." Saki nervously laughs before beginning to jog behind Rei.

As you watch Saki run off, Akira approaches you from behind. "I saw that earlier. Don't even think of doing it again."

>Is that why you brought Saki along?
>Why do you hate me, Akira?

>Is that why you brought Saki along?

Akira stares you right in the eye, expressionless. "I have no idea what you mean. Saki wanted to come along."

You squint your eyes. She's not showing it, but you know Akira's reeking of smug. She pulls out a chocolate bar and starts munching on it, as Saki and Rei round the corner and finish their first lap. The two girls are running side-by-side, keeping at an even pace.

"You should get going," Akira mutters, looking at you. "You're going to fall behind."

"You're real sneaky, Akira. I'm not forgiving you for this anytime soon."

After a good session of being lapped several times by both Saki and Rei, the school bell can be heard ringing in the distance as both girls hit the finish line simultaneously.

"Time for class!" Saki exclaims with excitement. "But I have to say, this little running exercise was great! It doesn't require any physical contact with another person, and it's a whole bunch of fun! Way more fun than fraternising on school property!"

"You could be a little more subtle about it..." you mutter, placing your hands into your jacket pocket, as you begin to walk back to the school's main building.

"Subtle about what?" Saki replies, cheerfully smiling as she walks by your side. "I was just-"

"I know what you were doing," you fire back. "Just what is your problem with me and Rei, anyway?"

Saki laughs. "Ryoji, don't be so self-centered! This isn't about you, this is all a matter of obeying the school rules! Students shouldn't be making out and straddling each-other like animals on campus grounds!"

>And when have your rules ever stopped me, Saki?
>You didn't seem to have a problem when Kosuke and Rini were doing it.
>Honestly, it just sounds like you're jealous.

Saki is a cute jealous girl and the best choice for Ryoji specifically, Waifufags need to get the heck out or stop mixing their shipping with their waifuing

>>128498
I aim to please

>>128525

Eh, I can see both Rei and Saki, though I'll admit Saki's probably a more 'obvious' match. What with being the inly girl who doesn't already have a pairing built-in for her. Hell, it's almost like Booker was trying to guide us to the Saki/Ryoji ship.

>>128470
Good job senpai would fap again.

>>128575
If he has been teasing us like this only to lock us with saki then i hope a lot of people die in the dark world

>>128575
The way I see it, Saki is the 'easy' route. Just about every other girl is the hard mode.

>>128575
Can't really say rei has a pair either, aside from rei x akira which will only exist in smut made by anons.

>>128584

I doubt he'll "Lock" us with her, but, as

>>128589

Said, Saki really is 'Easy' mode, and while I'm not gonna fight the group, I feel like we could'a tried a bit harder to actually give the other girls a chance before we all got on the OTT train.

>You didn't seem to have a problem when Kosuke and Rini were doing it.

"Well, I..." Saki blushes, hesitating to come up with an answer. "That was a different situation! They just had an experience in the Darkworld, it was special circumstances! In fact, I'll be issuing the two of them a written warning for their inappropriate behaviour in class!"

"Yeah, sure..." you roll your eyes.

"Besides..." Saki continues, "Those two were cute."

You laugh. "Me and Rei aren't cute, I take it?"

"Ryoji, nothing you do can be considered cute," Saki replies.

"Hey guys, what are you talking about?" Rei asks with a wide grin, catching up to the two of you. "I decided to go for another lap, because..." she stares right at Saki with a smirk, "I'm determined."

Oh boy. Why do you get the feeling you're now a part of something you really don't want to be a part of?

Next thing you know, Rei is taking your right hand and interlocking your fingers together. Saki spots this, turns red, and marches ahead of you, rushing towards the school.

Rei gives a small laugh. "Oh, this is fun. I don't get it though, what's her problem?"

>Saki's weird. I couldn't begin to understand her.

Nothing has been locked in with this Quest. Player choice and character development leaned towards a Ryoji/Saki pairing, and the writing's reflecting that.

Fun fact: In the very early planning stages, the role of Ryoji's foil that would eventually be filled by Saki was a guy. His art and some character traits was re-used to make Ken.

>>128663
>I think she might have a crush on me. It's understandable, I am irresistible to women.

>>128721
Makes sense, we should probably stop hugging saki so much

>>128663
>>I think she might have a crush on me. It's understandable, I am irresistible to women.
Definitely not flirting, I swear.

>>128721

Good to know, 'pologies if I came off as insulting your writing Booker, it just felt like, as we met her before any other potential Waifu, people just followed the 'First Girl Wins' rule.

>>128721
Oh I wasn't speaking like this is a route lock or anything. I'm just saying it's a noticeable thing about Saki when you look at other settings with multiple girls to go after.

Running to the shops, so there'll be a bit of a delay on the next update.

>>128721
It's not locked by you, it's the anons that have locked to that one. I mean I'm a Reifag but even I know that Rei is totally not winning and if we fool around with Rei it's all gonna tumble down into hurting both girls just like good ole rassle quest, the option at this point is either Saki or asshat.

People mentioned yesterday that they wanted a saki and akira team up with the goal of stopping Ryoji and Rei from kissing, guess that's why ep 10 started like this, booker delivered.

>>128793
Anon you have to believe in Rei

>>128797
Reminder that if anything goes wrong, always blame anons, dice or both.

>>128804
I believe in Rei, is the anons that I dont believe in. First waifu syndrome is stronk in them, we have the low ground and we shouldnt try this.

But even so, I can't help to try and jump, even if it's just a desperate attempt born of hatred because they stole her from me. I'm a man, made of flesh and bone, and I cannot resist the siren call, anon.

>>128814

Pretty much, Ryoji and Rei honestly seem to just have better chemistry to me, but Anons don't seem to comprehend anything but "Saki! Love! Now!"

>>128793
>it's all gonna tumble down into hurting both girls just like good ole rassle quest
I hope that doesn't happen. I was so enthusiastic when Wrestlequest started. But then reality hit me with an RKO outta nowhere.

When I saw the name Wrestlequest, I thought 'oh hey this'll be fun, wacky lighthearted wrestling adventure!' and then relationship drama happened and everybody was a shitty person.

>>128821
I mean that's how things go in quests. I feel like the battered wife that keeps coming home hoping to find love only to receive a beating.

>>128826
It wont, probably. Unless Sakifags are haremshit tier and dumb enough to repeat the mistake. Although to be fair it happened because the waifu-team wasnt assembled and that's why butthurt felt like a right feeling.

>>128826

If nothing else, once we worked past the relationship Drama in Wrestlequest, the single life of The Ace had an honestly great ending.

>I think she might have a crush on me. It's understandable, I am irresistible to women.

Rei laughs. "And you're so humble, too!"

She places her free hand on your right arm, and rests her head against your shoulder. "You know, we realy should pick up where we left off..."

Akira clears her throat behind the two of you. "Let's just get to class," she gumbles, as she edges her way between the two of you, breaking up the handholding.

As you arrive in class, Rei smiles at you. "Looks like there's more than one person who doesn't approve of us having some fun. Makes it all the more exciting. Still... Saki's a nice girl, kinda. I hope she doesn't have a crush on you, because I'm having a lot of fun rubbing this in her face, but I don't want to actually hurt her feelings."

Rei looks towards Saki, who is staring at the two of you. She smirks, gives you a kiss on the cheek, and moves to her chair.

You sit in the back of the classroom, where Kosuke smiles as he sees you. "What was that about? Are you and rei..."

>I don't even know.

You enjoy hanging out with Rei. She's a nice, pretty girl... but damn if this isn't starting to get real complicated and real annoying. The fact that she seems to get a kick out of flirting with you at the worst times are enough, but when you add both Saki and Akira breathing down your necks at all times, it leads to one giant pain in your ass. And knowing your luck, it'll probably only manage to get messier as time goes on.

"If you ask me, I wouldn't bother jumping in to anything too quickly," Kosuke replies.

You laugh. "This is coming from the guy who waited how long before kissing the girl he knew since grade school?"

Kosuke shrugs. "We're together now, aren't we? And we couldn't be happier."

Kosuke and Rini smile at each-other and high-five one another over your head. "Yeah, well it's been a day," you fire back, "Don't start gloating just yet."

You glance over towards Rei, then to Saki, then back to Rei, then to Akira, then to Saki again. You also glance at Sayeka, but that's only because bent over to grab a pencil. You sigh. You remember a time when you would think your life was like a terrible harem anime, but then you could just shut it down as being a delusion brought on by your ego. Now those delusions are starting to feel uncomfortably real, and you don't like it nearly as much as you did in your fantasies.

You get so caught up in thought that you zone out through the class... not that you would have listened anyway. As first break begins, Rei approaches your desk. "So Ryoji, I thought the two of us could get another training in during break!"

Hearing this, Saki charges towards your desk and slams a pair of books on it, hard. "And I thought we could all take a trip to the library, see if we can find anything else on the Darkworld. Pretty important stuff, you know?"

"And training isn't important?" Rei snaps.

Dammit, this was not the situation you expected to be in when you woke up this morning.

Interesting to see that Bro-men Rider and presumably Isamu(How do we not have a nickname for him) are options here. And as much as I wanna play matchmaker for Isamu and Akemi, Sak Time takes priority.

>Screw this. Escape to the pond by the dorms.

"If you two will excuse me for a second," you answer, rising from your chair, "I'm just going to step outside for a bit. I'll be right back."

As soon as you step out into the hall, you break into a sprint, running as far away as you possibly can. You aren't going to deal with this nonsense, not now. You run off back to the school dormitory, wondering if you can just go back to bed, have a nap until it comes time to fight the Darkworld tonight. Then, you remember the place behind the dorm, a place where you can relax all by yourself.

You make your way through a clearing of trees and find yourself by a small fishing pond. Oddly enough, you aren't alone.

"Oh, hey Ryoji," Ken says, lying on the grass with his head behind his hand. "What brings you here?"

You shake your head. "Rei... and then Saki... plus Akira..."

Ken laughs. "Girl problems, huh?"

"I don't know if it's girl problems, or girls having a problem with me," you reply, sitting down by the pond. Damn, you wish you had your smokes with you. You could really use them right now.

Ken sits up. "Well, I've got something that will take your mind off it," he replies, "The weekend is safe from the Darkworld, right? So I was planning on organising a little camping trip for tomorrow."

You raise an eyebrow. "Camping trip? I don't think we can stray too far from the school."

Ken shrugs. "Yeah, by camping trip, I do kinda mean camping out in a field in the town, but still..."

>Sounds awesome, sign me up.

"Good to know," Ken replies, "I was worried you might not be the outdoors-y type. I mean, you only came here to avoid people."

"Hey, as long as it gets me off-campus for a while," you explain, "I really hate this school."

Ken laughs. "Oh come on, it's not all bad! I'm sure you've enjoyed ogling all the pretty girls!"

"Yeah, and that's starting to land me in a real mess..." you mutter.

"Don't worry about it, just focus on how awesome this camping trip will be. Now, I only have one tent. There's enough room for the two of us, but everyone else will have to share."

"Everyone else?" you asks. "How many other people are going?"

Ken pauses. "Well... I was planning on inviting everyone in class. I figured it would be a great stress reliever for everyone. The class have been a little on edge lately with the Darkworld acting so weird... well, weirder than usual. Arriving during the day, on day's its supposed to be safe, and it's started to look different. The Darkworld's been known to take some odd shapes, but never did it form itself to look just like the school, or the town."

"You think it might have something to do with Alice?" you ask.

"Maybe..." Ken places a finger to his chin. "If your theory is right, and she was a student at this school, do you think she's forming the Darkworld around her old memories?"

"You think she can do that?" you wonder. "The Darkworld was around before Alice went missing from the school. Why would she be able to control it? And why now, when she went missing six decades ago?"

Ken shakes his head. "I don't know, Ryoji. Another thing I've been wondering... when we do finally catch this Alice... what are we going to do with her?"

>We're going to capture her.
>We're going to study her.
>We're going to kill it.

>>129376
>>We're going to capture her.

>>129267
>Sounds awesome, sign me up
Sounds like a good way to end up in the dark world unexpectedly, but plot doesn't unfold itself

>>129376
>>We're going to capture her.

There's a chance she's like us, a former human, we can't just kill that. Plus, she's White-Hair!Anon's Waifu.

>>129376
>We're going to capture her.
>We're going to study her.
Seems like one leads to the other on this one. I mean, can anybody honestly see the nurse NOT wanting to study Alice once we've got her captured?

>>129376
>I'm gonna try and bang it. I'm gonna bang the darkworlder. For science. No drama with monster girls.

>We're going to capture her.

If she was human we need to find out how human she is now.

>>129376
>We're going to study her.
Kill is out of the question, considering the chance of Alice's condition being related to Ryoji's condition is a sucker's bet. Capture likewise would also lead to bad things down the line. Study is the safest option.

>>129376
>We're going to capture her.
>We're going to study her.
There are still so many questions left unanswered...

>>129376
>We're going to capture her.

>>129376
>>We're going to capture her.
>>We're going to study her.
She's bound to have info and shit on the darkworld. The first one will lead into the second one eventually.

>>129376
>We're going to capture her.
>We're going to study her.
>We're going to sex her.

>>129396

Shine on, you crazy diamond.

>>129376
>we're going to study her
Killing her won't stop anything probably if the darkworld was still around before she vanished.

>We're going to capture her.
>We're going to study her.

"And then what?" Ken asks. "After we learn what we can from her, what do we do? Are we supposed to just... let her go? Send her back to where she came from?"

You pause. "I guess... I guess that all depends on what we learn from her, doesn't it?"

"I just..." Ken mutters, "I can't help but think that she might not be the enemy."

"Ken, she's tried to kill us a few times now."

"Yeah," Ken replies, "But that was after we came towards her with a bunch of weapons. Alice seems a little loony, but I think she could suss out what our intentions were. What if she was just trying to defend herself? What if she's just scared and as confused as we are?"

Ken nervously pulls small strands of grass out of the ground, one by one. "I'm just worried we might be going after the wrong target, you know? We know so little about the Darkworld... I want to dispense justice, but to who? I want to know for sure before I make any big decisions..."

Ken turns to you. "I don't know, maybe I'm just being stupid. What do you think?"

>You're right, Ken. It is a possibility.
>She may not be the right target, but trust me Ken, Alice is evil.
>I just don't know.

>>129474
>You're right, Ken. It is a possibility.

>>129474
>You're right, Ken. It is a possibility.
Smart dude. Didn't expect a voice of reason in this school.

>>129474
>You're right, Ken. It is a possibility.
>I just don't know.
And that's the truth. We just don't have any answers right now.

>>129474
Bromen-Rider's sense of justice is tingling, Alice is potentially in need of justice, not to fall at its hands.
>>You're right, Ken. It is a possibility.

>>129474
>>I just don't know.

>>129474
>You're right, Ken. It is a possibility.

>>129474
>>I just don't know.
"Morality and shit is something few have gone into and fewer have tried to pull off. It's possible she's defending herself, but like you said, we know nothing about the Darkworld and Alice a chance to know about it. So if it's a chance, we got to take it."

>>129474
>You're right, Ken. It is a possibility.
She actually helped me survive with her crazy poem

>You're right, Ken. It is a possibility.

>>129474

We are slowly working our way towards Rei and Akira end. Akira is gunning for Rei and nobody is gunning for Saki. With us constantly out of the picture the odds of Rei and Akira getting together are pretty damn high. Among for the love of god do not go out with a whimper and just accept saki. Fight for the Rei butt, don't do that passive shit we do EVERY SINGLE QUEST whenever we see a character who likes a character. Rei for life

>>129566
Preach it
Rei a cute

>>129566
>waifufags

>>129566
Anon, I don''t know how to tell you this but...

Rei a shit, Saki for life.

>>129566
I have no idea what you just tried to say.

>>129596
This nigga gets it

the thing is though, you can have your personal waifu, do whatever you want there
but consider who the actual waifu for RYOJI would be. It's obviously Saki.

>>129594
Agreed. Every quest, all the damn time. Why can't we just focus on the world itself instead of fighting over girls?

Like Alice. How did she stay in the Darkworld for so long? Normally, people go in and come back to the real world, but she's stuck. It can't be because she's part darkworlder, cause we come back at when the world shifts.

>>129594
Amen.

>>129600
We are route locking ourselves by playing tiddilywinks with Rei. Someone likes Rei and will pursue her if we don't. No one likes Saki so chances are high we will end up with her if we do nothing. Catch my drift?

>>129624
Stop acting as if you're everyone.

Saki and Nanami are the only choices!

And even then it makes more sense in terms of character for them to end up together, and for Nanami to end up with Justice Bro.

>>129474
>You're right, Ken. It is a possibility.
>We just don't know.

Clearly we must have some sort of war here to get things settled. Everyone assume your battle stations, this is gonna be one hell of a game of duck duck goose

>people don't realize we're being set up with rei for her inevitable death and the drama that will bring

>>129624
Ah, I think I get it now.

But frankly, I've got no interest in Rei and somehow even less interest in NTRing Akira. Sak for life, yo.

>>129624
>>129633
Oh wait sorry I mis-read, I thought you were saying none of us liked Saki, sorry I was being an ass.

>>129633
>Pirate ending up with Justice
I don't think that's how lawlessness goes.

>>129652
So what you're saying is we should bro it up with Akira and set her up with Rei so we can have cool drama trying to keep her from destroying herself in the pursuit of revenge?

>>129665
Ah, but Nanami is a pirate to bring happiness, An ideal that lines up with Justice!

>>129624
>chances are high we will end up with her if we do nothing.
Chances are also there that we do fuck all and deal with sexual tension till graduation or death, which ever one comes first.

And I'm just waiting for the time when we have to choose to save either Rei or Saki. Fun times ahead.

>>129675
I still can't see it man. I feel she'd just end off going her own way doing her own things.

>>129662
I'm not insulting Saki in the slightest, IMHO I think this is how things will go down if we keep progressing down this road. Sorry for everything I just don't like the feeling of being locked through passivity.

>>129701
What part of choosing to pursue Saki over Rei is passive?

>>129653

Has Rei shown any interest in Akira, or any woman for that matter?

Akira, sure, but Rei has -not- reciprocated as far as I've seen.

>>129701
I feel like choosing the girl who kissed ryoji right when they met is more passive

>>129710
If that's your perogative then it isn't passive.
>>129716
They have a very good relationship this is just a prediction of the future, plus I can see Saki trying to push them together for reasons.
>>129718
Depends on how we go about it.

>You're right, Ken. It is a possibility.

Ken nods. "Good to see you agree... I was a little worried it might have just been me thinking this. Still, I suppose we'll find out when we find out, won't we? And then we can go from there..."

Ken leans back in the grass and pauses for a minute before speaking again. "You know, the bell rang for class a while ago. We're pretty late."

"Yeah, but that's never bothered me before," you reply, leaning back in turn. "I think I'm going to chill out here for a while longer."

Ken smiles. "Well, it's always nice to have company."

The two of you chill out by the pond, chatting about this and that, until you finally hear another bell ring off in the distance. "Huh, looks like it's lunchtime," Ken states, "I suppose you should probably get going to detention."

You smirk as you pick yourself off the ground. "No detention for me today. In fact, I've been called in for a meeting with the Principal."

"You're going to meet Wei?" Ken asks, with a shocked look on his face. "Congrats. Very few students can say they've even seen the guy. He's a legend around campus, as you'd expect. He's the last surviving member of the original class. Nobody else even comes close to the years of killing Darkworlders he has under his belt. I can only imagine how intimidating he'll be in person."

"I'm not scared of some old geezer," you reply. "And I'm not the kind of guy who hero worships either. To me, Principal Wei's just another member of staff in this crappy school."

"Good luck saying that to his face," Ken jokes, as you make your way back to the main school building.

>>129736

Eh, I won't argue that, I just feel like Anons are trying to force it on them when only one party has given any indication of actual interest.

The door to Wei's office is on the far side of the school, far removed from anywhere else. Finding the damn thing was a journey in and of itself. You hesitate outside for a while, before finally knocking on the door. A booming voice rings out from the other side.

"Enter."

You slowly turn the handle on the door and push the door open. You peer your head out into the room, as your eyes get their first glimpse of the legendary, mysterious principal of the school.

First thing you notice about the man, and likely the first thing anyone would notice, is that Wei is gigantic. Even sitting at his desk, a very large and finely crafted desk, you might add, you can tell that he must stand at over seven feet in height. Coupled with his broad shoulders and bulky body, Principal Wei is a huge man.

Second thing you notice is his stare. You don't think you ever truly understood the expression of "Stone-faced" until this very moment. Is he judging you as you enter the room? Because it feels like he's glaring deep into your soul.

"Ryoji Shida."

"Yeah, that's me..." you say, shutting the door behind you.

"Take a seat."

As you sit down in the chair opposite him, you sink into the cushions, so that the principal towers over you. A pretty frightening sight.

"You're a transfer student, correct?"

"Yeah... is that what you called me in to ask?" you reply. "Because you probably could have gotten that from some kind of record..."

There is a long silence.

"So... can't say I've heard all that much about you," you say. "Not even from Saki."

"Who?" Wei asks, his face as stern as ever.

"Saki..." you repeat, but he still doesn't react. "You know... your Granddaughter?"

"Oh... yes, I forgot. My Granddaughter, excuse me."

He forgot about his own granddaughter? Seems the Principal isn't as amazing as Ken built him up to be. Kinda absent minded, you think.

"So... what did you call me in for?"

"I wish to know more about you... Ryoji Shida. From what I hear, you've become quite the oddity around school."

>I'm really nothing special, you know.

>You're damn right! I'm Ryoji Shida, master delinquent! The enemy to all authority!

You don't know what you're doing, but you're staring right into the face of authority. The man who's in charge of this entire dump of a school. The man who hands down all the annoying orders and rules for Akihito to push on you. The man who is directly responsible for the existence of Saki Kobashi. Your status as a delinquent would be shattered if you didn't challenge him.

You burst out of your chair in excitement during your big announcement. Principal Wei is... less than impressed. He just continues to stare at you.

"I understand, you're some kind of comedian, I take it?" Wei remarks. "I've seen your kind before, in countless numbers. Every single year there's a student just like you. They usually never make it past the first week. You did, however."

"To be fair, I planned on running on my second day."

Wei lets out a low hum. "Tell me then, Ryoji. What do you think of this school?"

"It's a dump! The teachers are all either assholes or nutjobs, sometimes both, all the students are demotivated and screwed up in ways you can't even imagine... oh yeah, and we're sitting on a portal to hell, and we have to fight monsters and demons all the time! Don't even get me started on your granddaughter! Ever since I arrived at this school, I've had Saki Kobashi breathing down my neck at every opportunity, trying to undermine every single thing I do and establish some kind of law and order in my life!"

Wei slams his fist on the desk, almost breaking it. "Then it seems she isn't doing a very good job! Are you sure she's my granddaughter?Because no grandchild of mine would do such a piss-poor job of keeping order! You're still a loud-mouthed annoying good for nothing who has no respect and no place in an establishment as fine as this school!"

The booming of his voice alone is almost enough to take you off your feet. You stagger back as Wei glares right at you, before taking a deep breath. "And now I understand why... why she trusts you."

"Who?" you ask, confused.

"Alice," he answers, opening his desk and pulling out a file. "You believe to have found her in the Darkworld, correct? And she will only talk to you? I didn't know her very well when she came here, but she was just your sort. A brash troublemaker who would rather pull pranks than attend classes. Take this."

He hands you the brown file. You open it up, and you see it contains all of the records for an Alice Maddox, Class 1, who attended the school in its opening year. Her Date of birth, physical records, and a personal record of her home and family life are contained inside.

"If it helps you in you mission, I suggest you make use of it."

>I... uhh... thanks.
>You knew about her this whole time?

>>129936
>You knew about her this whole time?
>You're trusting me with this top-secret information? Why?
Well, looks like you guys were right. No reason to treat this guy with respect.
I feel bad for Saki, though. He seems like a poor excuse for a grandfather.

Yeee Delinquent powers!

>>You knew about her this whole time?

He's scary, big, and he's helping us. We should probably say something remotely nice to stay on his good side.

also, man, why does Ryoji suddenly have such a huge vendetta against Saki again? I swear, no offense Booker but every time an episode starts with Rei, Ryoji's characterisation seems all over the shop

>You knew about her this whole time?
>You're trusting me with this top-secret information? Why?

"Alice Maddox's disappearance was a mystery to the entire school," Wei shakes his head. "I was just a student at the time. We were in the same class. She was the first to be lost to the Darkworld, and the school wanted to hide all traces of her death. Still... the rumours persisted. Nobody had seen her die, and some claimed that Alice wasn't killed, but instead was sucked into the Darkworld, cursed to live out the rest of her days there. Children can be quite morbid. Once I took up the mantle of school principal, I chose against returning Alice's records to the library, out of fear that those horrible stories would spring up once again. When your friend came asking about her, I chased him off... but then I found out about your encounter with a Darkworlder who looked just like her... and spoke to you. And only you."

Wei slowly shifts his chair and stands up, turning his back to you and staring out the window of his office. "If you are able to communicate with her... this creature... even if it isn't Alice, I would like for you to solve this mystery once and for all."

You nod. "Not a problem. I'll find out just who this Darkworlder is, don't you worry."

"You better. I don't tolerate failures." Wei points to the door. "You're free to go."

You step out of the office and take a deep breath as you carry on down the hallway. Damn, that's a scary dude... but you feel like he might have some respect for you. He at least trusts you enough to track down this Alice Maddox, and you aren't one to disappoint. You sigh, take a step forward... and the ground crumples beneath your feet.

Shit, not again.

Back in the Darkworld version of the academy once again. Well, this is just fantastic. The Darkworld apparently won't wait until night anymore before springing up on you. And you're on your own. Fantastic.

An even worse realisation soon pops into your head. It's lunch time, which means... the entire class is seperated. Crap, where the hell are you going to go?

>To Homeroom, Isamu and Akemi would be in detention right now!
>To the cafeteria, that's where most of the class would still be!
>To the running tracks, Rei and Akira would be training there!

>>130088
>To the cafeteria, that's where most of the class would still be!

>>130088
Whichever rally point is the closest.

>To Homeroom, Isamu and Akemi would be in detention right now!

Detention buddies stay together, through thick and thin!

>>130063
I think its because even if they have a good standing, what ryoji said is still true, she always breaths down his neck. Even if it's adorable because it's out of jealousy, she still does it and its probably annoying.

>>130088
>To the cafeteria, that's where most of the class would still be!
Go in numbers, Rei and Akira are smart enough to go to the Cafeteria. Akemi and Isamu should be with Akihito to provide some help at least.

>>130088
>>To Homeroom, Isamu and Akemi would be in detention right now!

Rei and Akira are tough, as are the rest of the class, Isamu and Akemi are pretty weak as I remember, and we'd have been with them otherwise, we need to make sure the weak'uns are safe.

But, I may be remembering wrong, if Rei and Akira are lower ranked, go for them.

>>130088
>>To Homeroom, Isamu and Akemi would be in detention right now!
I'm wondering if Alice just pulled us in here through some kind of fuckery.

>>130063
Actual Answer: I'm not the best writer on the planet, and completely fail at having subtle nuances, so personalities are constantly swinging between extremes.

My sace-face answer: The way I write it, Ryoji does have a soft spot for Saki, but he still finds her plenty annoying, and it makes sense for Ryoji, a textbook complainer, to complain about it. It doesn't help that Saki was particularly bugging him today.

>>130111
But even then, its been at its worst back in episode 5 and here, whenever Rei is a major player, and I can't tell if its Booker pulling strings to open up more ships for waifufags, or if its just the waifufags themselves, but either way he always starts feeling OOC

Maybe that's just the downsides to quests or somethin', I don't know

>>130088
>To the running tracks, Rei and Akira would be training there!

>To Homeroom, Isamu and Akemi would be in detention right now!
Not sure what we can do to help them, but hey, it's something.

>To Homeroom, Isamu and Akemi would be in detention right now!

>>130088
>To Homeroom, Isamu and Akemi would be in detention right now!
I'm worried about the two of them even if Akihito should be there.

>To Homeroom, Isamu and Akemi would be in detention right now!

The rest of the class in a large enough group, so they should be fine. Rei and Akira are tough, they can handle themselves. Besides, you'd never make it to the running tracks fast enough. Isamu and Akemi, however... those two goofballs are separated from the rest of the class, and you don't know how well they can fend for themselves.

You sprint around the corner, bursting your way into the classroom... but you don't see anyone inside. Isamu and Akemi must have run the second they fell in here, and attempted to rejoin the others. You look around, making sure there isn't anything off about the room, when you hear a voice behind you.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The Jaws that bite, the claws that catch!"

Damn... you turn your head, to see Alice standing by the board, staring at you.

"Great, it's you..." you mutter, "You wouldn't have happened to see my friends, would you?"

Alice giggles. "They were very scared. The older man took the children and told them to run... and they did!"

Well, that answers that question.

Alice stares at you and takes a few step forward. "You want to take me away. You to put me away in a box, where they'll poke at me, and prod at me with stick and stones until I bleed. Then they'll drink my blood and learn the taste. Once they know it tastes of blackberry, they'll... chop off my head!"

You place your hand forward. "Okay, just calm down..."

Alice reaches into her pocket and pulls out a knife. "No! I won't let you chop of my head! I need it! It's where I keep my dreams! The Jabberwock with eyes of flame..."

She begins muttering to herself as a Darkworld best begins to materialise through the wall. It has no eyes, but it stares at you as it hangs over Alice, as if awaiting the command to attack you.

"Look, maybe we can talk this out-"

"No!" screams Alice, "My Vorpal Blade goes snicker-snack!"

She start stepping towards you, swinging the knife with full intention to slice.

I think the dice have it out for us tonight.

>>130310
WHY?

Damn I really hope we're doing bo5 rolls today, else we're buggered. If anything can truly hurt us I expect it's Alice.

inb4 she kidnaps us and we're trapped here

>>130332
Maybe booker will have some mercy and do best out of 5

>>130334
Sorry anon, it's Best of 3 tonight.

Writing now.

>>130339
That could lead to an arc where we become a badass survival dude while were stuck alone in here. A one day outside a year inside kind of deal.

>>130349
Wellp, guess it's a rescue mission coming our way. Either that or we pull a Paranorman and just keep trying to get through to her while she hurts us.

>>130339
More likely Ryoji will get stabbed and stumble out into the hall to wait out the night. Then inevitably Saki and Rei will find him to bitch out ditching them only to be concerned about all the blood.

Probably. Could be wrong.

>>130350
I actually want it to happen. Good way to get away from the waifus for a bit and learn more about the darkworld

Oh hey now...that could lead to something. Are we going to have our black blood revealed then?

Ripparoni

>>130367
Honestly? I'm surprised we've kept it secret even this long.

>>130385
Admittedly, so am I. But hey, that would certainly throw a wrench into the plot, now wouldn't it? I'd actually be thrilled to see the outcome. Some good drama would come out of it.

>>130350
What, like the hydroponic lion tamer?

>>130350
If we do, can we get a darkworld dog? Like a mid-sized Cerberus?

Anon, why do you mock us now. Book was already writing.

>>130418

I hadn't gotten that far. ^^;;

>>130402
The hypersonic crying shamer?

>>130418
Oi, you fuck, where were you?

>>130385
Especially with our training with rei.

>>130432

Playing xcom 2 and bitching about bugs.

>>130431
The mesozoic crime rangers?

Alice stops her charge as she hears her full name being called out. She looks up at you, as you breathe heavily in relief. "That's right, your name is Alice Maddox. You attended school here. You have a sister named Charlotte..."

Alice shakes her head, the stop in her movement just a temporary hesitation, as she charges forward and screams. "No! No! I'm not! That's not me!"

She readies her hand and drives the knife into your chest. It breaks through the skin and wedges itself in there... and good god do you feel it. Alice grips the handle and twists the knife inside your chest. You scream out in pain, which leads you to realising that you are bleeding from the mouth.

Alice, still in a manic state, pulls the knife from your chest and notices the blood. "Black... You... you're like me... why are you like me?! This shouldn't happen! Make it stop! End it!"

As you stumble, woozy and in pain, you see Alice cower into a ball as the beast takes her in it's arms, and the two disappear. You fall back, as you feel yourself being brought back to reality... but you black out before you finish the trip.

"Ryoji?! Oh my god, what happened?!"

"Why is there so much blood?!"

"And why is it black?!"

You awake in the nurse's infirmary, with more than a handful of your classmates staring at you. Saki, Rei, Kosuke, Rini, Akira, Ken, Nanami and Hiro are all gathered around your bed.

"You're finally up!" Saki yells in joy. "Don't scare us like that again!"

You blink your eyes. "What... what the hell just happened?"

"We all fell into the Darkworld... for about five minutes," Ken replies. "It was weird. And then, when we returned to the classroom, we found you bleeding out..."

"That would be thanks to our friend Alice," you explain, remembering at least that much. "She stabbed me. Apparently unlike other Darkworlder, when she stabs me, I don't have any special endurance. I just get stabbed."

You try to sit up in the bed, but end up wincing in pain.

"Take it slow Ryoji, you're in no rush," Hiro says, placing a comforting hand on your shoulder.

"The entire class is in an uproar, wondering why you were bleeding black, like a Darkworlder..." Saki adds. "So, Ryoji... you want to tell us why? We're a little curious ourselves."
