Present Reactions[]
When you give Chiaki a present, she will give you a different reaction depending on how much she likes it. There are multiple possible reactions for each "tier" of present, and which of the reactions you receive is random. Each line is a separate response.
Loves
Hmm...how did you know I wanted that? I'm totally surprised. I never expected you to have such an awesome secret ability. Thank you. You've made me really happy.
Hm, isn't that a pretty rare item? Hmm, this seems a little... I feel like it might raise the flag.
Hajime... You seem to be holding something pretty nice. ...Thank you. No one has ever given me such an awesome present before.
Likes
You're giving this to me...? Thanks. I'll take good care of it and use it.
Huh? That looks fun. I'll play around with different ways of using it when I go back to my room. Thanks.
OK
If you're giving this to me, I guess I'll accept it. Yep, thanks.
I can have this? ...Thank you. Hmm... I don't think you can raise the flag with this item.
A present from Hajime... Ah, yeah, I'm actually really happy. Thanks.
Dislikes
You're gonna give that to me? Hmmm...I don't know what to use it for... Sorry, but no thanks.
Hmm...I think you're giving that item to the wrong person. It might be better if you give it to someone who'd be happier about receiving it.
Hates
Hm...I see... You must really hate me, Hajime...
Hmm... I can't really judge that precisely at my current skill level... Still, I can't really accept a cursed item like that.

Free Time Event Introductions[]
Depending on which Free Time segment during the main story you choose to initiate a Free Time Event with Chiaki, you will receive a different piece of introductory dialogue.
This section is not yet complete.
Introduction 1
...
...
...
Is she awake? Is she sleeping? Should I check?
Check if she's okay / Leave her alone
...
Ah, good morning.
I think I should drink something to help me wake up... Wanna come along?
I spent time today drinking tea at the restaurant with Chiaki.
Looks like Chiaki and I grew a little closer...
Introduction 2
...
I wonder what's up with that ancient ruin...
What should I do? Should I hang out with Chiaki?
Invite Chiaki to hang out / See who else is around
Obsessing over stuff doesn't solve anything, right? Yep, I should stop thinking and play video games.
Let's battle, Hajime.
I battled Chiaki...and got my butt kicked.
Looks like Chiaki and I grew a little closer...
Free Time Event Dialogue & Option Guide[]
Full dialogue from Chiaki's Free Time Events:
Introduction (Page 1)[]
???
...
There's some girl playing an arcade game, and she looks completely absorbed by it....
...
Hajime, you haven't properly introduced yourself to her either, right?
Y-Yeah...you're right... She seems really focused on her game, but I guess I should try to talk to her. Um, excuse me? I'd like to introduce myself...
...
...Hey, Chiaki?
Oh, sorry... I must've been...a little too focused on my game...
A little...? Are you sure about that?
Let's see... Oh, right, introductions. Got it. ...
I'm Chiaki Nanami, the Ultimate Gamer. Video games are my hobby, and I'm a fan of all genres. ...
Nice to meet you.
I'm Hajime Hinata. Nice to meet you, too...
... ...
Yeah, totally.
It seems like this conversation is going rather slow...
Well, she is gaming right now...
It's more like... ...
I'm the kind of person who has to gather my thoughts before I can start talking. Like, I can't talk that well unless I've already prepared everything I want to say in my head... Especially when I'm meeting new people... Well, if I get used to them, I can usually talk a little faster.
...She's still focused on her game, and she hasn't looked at me at all... She may be theUltimate Gamerbut how can she play video games at a time like this...?
Yaaaawn...
...I'm sleepy.
Obtained Hope Fragment.
Free Time Event 1 (Page 2)[]
Invite Chiaki to hang out
...
She's staring off into space again, as usual...
...
...
...Ah, sorry. I was getting a little sleep.
While you were standing? Impressive. Have you not been sleeping well?
Hmm, when I'm gaming I tend to forget about sleeping. Sometimes I even forget to breathe.
That's not good...!
Plus, I keep having nightmares. I had a bad dream the other day so I've been a little scared.
The statue at Jabberwock Island changed into a bald old man with a thin mustache. It's probably because that game also takes place on a tropical island.[2]
The more I think about it, the more this situation feels like that bizarre action game. We might eventually end up turning into sheep.[3]
"Trio the Punch" is...a game, right? What kind of game is it? More importantly...you must really enjoy games, huh Chiaki?
Hm, how should I put it? I like it, but gaming is my life. Or maybe life is just a game?
Either way...that's all the more reason why killings shouldn't be allowed. It's not a game if you're not having fun. It doesn't mean anything if you just focus on winning or losing.
...You're right. It doesn't mean games always have to have happy endings, but you should get something out of beating them.
There might be weird games here and there, but there are ways of enjoying those, too. That's why bizarre games are fun. You can beat them as long as you do your very best.
Haha... As expected of theUltimate Gamer. I would probably just give up on a game like that...
But...to tell you the truth, there's one type of game that I'm not really good at.
I see...what is it?
... ...I won't tell you.
I-I see... D-Does she have a reason for not telling me? Well, just by talking to Chiaki, I feel like I was able to understand her a little better... So I guess that's good enough for now.
I parted ways with Chiaki and went back to my room...

Free Time Event 2 (Page 3)[]
Invite Chiaki to hang out
...
Is she sleeping again...? Hey, if you're that sleepy, why don't you just go back to your room and rest?
Ah, no... Since you're here...let's talk.
If you give up at this level, you'll never defeat the Warlock Lord. "My adventure ended like this"... That's all you're gonna get.[4]
Looks like she's half-asleep...
Huh...? I can't believe you don't get my Shadowgate joke.
Hey, if you're bored, do you want to go somewhere? You might wake up if you go for a walk.
I want to go...to a fun place.
A fun place, huh...?
The park
How about the park?
When you're playing a game at the park...all the kids just gather around for no reason... There was a game you're only able to play in the sun... It's very difficult for adults and shut-ins to play.
Looks like she wants to go somewhere else...
The airport
Want to check out the airport?
There might be a gunfight at the airport...so I don't want to go... Do you get motion sickness when you watch someone who sucks play an FPS?
I should choose somewhere else...
The supermarket
Should we go check out the supermarket?
I like running over zombies with skateboards and wheelchairs. Chainsaws are the strongest though.[5] ...It sounds fun so it's fine.
I don't really know what it means, but I guess it's fine if Chiaki is okay with it.
Chiaki and I walked to the supermarket together.
Christmas ornaments, bamboo grass for the Star Festival... This place has too much of everything!
...
Hm? What happened, Chiaki?
What is this? These sweets look cute.
Oh, those are sweet rice crackers for Girls' Day. Man, this place seriously has everything.
Huh...? You know...it's on March 3rd. You're a girl...didn't you celebrate it with your family...?
...
...Ah, crap. I'm sure she has her reasons for not knowing. But even so, I... Ah, no...it's nothing. Forget about what I said...um...
I don't really mind. I...did have a family. My father.
You *had* a father? Then your mother... ...No, I shouldn't ask about something like that.
Hey hey...so what is Girls' Day anyway?
It's a doll festival held on March 3rd. Dolls are set up so you can pray for girls' health and success. And then...you eat stuff like sweet rice crackers or mochi that comes in different colors.
I see...
That's amazing, Hajime. You know a lot.
It's nothing, really... I'm not saying everyone is supposed to know this... But for her not to know what Girls' Day is... What kind of past does Chiaki have...?
...Hey, let's go somewhere again, okay?
Yeah, let's do this again. We made that promise and left the supermarket. I need to think about a place I can take Chiaki that will make her happy...
I took Chiaki back to her room, otherwise she'd just find a random place to fall asleep if I let her be...

Free Time Event 3 (Page 4)[]
Invite Chiaki to hang out
...Hm. ...
Every single time... I can't believe how quickly she falls asleep in such a short time.
Samurai head... Statue of Liberty... Ah, don't shoot the beam there... This is bad... Zombie Nation...eating up humans...[6]
...ls she dreaming about a game? I have no idea what kind of game she's talking about.
...Ah, sorry. I think I was sleeping again.
Were you playing a video game in your dream, too?
Yeah. It was fun cuz it was a shooting game.
I see, so you like those kinds of games.
I'm pretty all-inclusive. I'll play anything from Space Invaders to the latest military shooters. Ah, I also like simulation games. ...Right now, I mainly play real-time strategy games, but I like turn-based ones too.
...So, where do you want to go today?
Y-Yeah...um... How about we go to the ranch today?
I...don't really like...animals that much.
Huh...? Really?
They're warm when you touch them, you know? That's...a little scary. It's kinda hard to guess what they'll do next...
I'm better at games that use precise calculations, where success and failure is decided by numerical values. But...it's hard for me to play games where I have to manage relationships and guess what characters are feeling.
I see... Maybe...that has something to do with her upbringing... I don't want to do things Chiaki will hate, but it feels lonely to just leave her like this... How about we look at the animals from far away? The ones at the ranch are pretty tame. You can even try to touch them if it looks safe.
... ...Okay.
If you teach me lots of things, it'll probably be okay...I think.
Is she...relying on me? If so, that makes me happy.
Chiaki and I decided to walk to the ranch.
Oh my, it's a cow. ...I wonder if it's gonna dance like the one in "Dancing Eyes".[7]
That...might be a little difficult.
... Maybe...I should try touching it a little.
Chiaki walked up to the cow and cautiously pet its back. The cow seemed not to mind, and continued silently eating grass...
Wow! It's really warm!
Well...that's because it's alive.
I see...you're right. Unlike humans...animals don't mind being touched that much. So that might make it easier for me. If you touch a person, something is born from that interaction, right? Repulsion, anticipation, whatever... I'm...nervous about stuff like that. It makes me think I'm better off not doing anything unnecessary.
Chiaki's feelings seem a little odd...but I do understand where she's coming from. I hope one day she can touch not just cows, but people too... Ah, you know...if we milk this cow, I'm sure the fresh milk must be really tasty.
Milk this cow?
Huh...? ...Um, you know that milk comes from cows, right?
What do you mean, "from"? Milk is milk, right?
You know, if you pull a cow's udders, milk comes out. You only need one cow to get as much milk as you want.
As much as you want...?
But if you try to cut open a milk bottle...a cow comes out of it, right? And it dances, right? I knew it! It's definitely "Dancing Eyes"!
Seriously...what kind of game is she talking about...? I explained how milk works to Chiaki in detail... Why are there so many things she doesn't know...? As usual, Chiaki is full of mysteries.
Chiaki started to feel sleepy from playing too much, so after sending her off, I returned to my room...

Free Time Event 4 (Page 5)[]
Invite Chiaki to hang out
Hey, hey, where do you want to go today?
This is the first time I've seen Chiaki look so interested... And...she's not even sleeping. Maybe she was looking forward to this... Let's see... Why don't we check out the storage room in the old building? We might find something interesting.
Like Sokoban... That's a fun game to play. It's this old puzzle game where you have to push boxes in a warehouse to their assigned spots.
Oh, I see...
Then...let's win over Monomi so we can go inside the storage room.
Chiaki pumped herself up and after winning over Monomi, we went into the storage room.
Hmm...there's not a whole lot you can push and pull.
Don't tell me you were serious about playing Sokoban in the storage room? No wonder she seemed so excited about coming here.
Hey Hajime, are you good at puzzle games?
Nah, I'm not that good at using my brain.
Huh, really? Maybe you just don't like them because you haven't played that many?
You know how to properly theorize in order to view things, and you can calmly manage when it's important... I feel like you'd be good at puzzle games once you got the hang of it.
Huh? You really see me like that...? Th-That kind of embarrasses me...
For example, Rubik's cubes and jigsaw puzzles are puzzle games, too.
Oh yeah. I remember putting together a lot of jigsaw puzzles when I was little...
Yep yep, then you already know the trick, right?
The trick to jigsaw puzzles...
Assemble from intuition
You mean...assemble them randomly based on intuition?
That might sound fun, but you also waste a whole lot of time.
She's right. She must mean a different trick...
Assemble from the middle
You mean...assemble them from the middle?
If you do it like that intentionally, it's amazing in its own way. It's a new way of enjoying things.
She's right, but that doesn't sound realistic at all.
Assemble from the outer pieces
Um, you assemble from the outer pieces, right?
That's right...first you separate the pieces with edges. Afterward, you separate the leftovers by color. It makes putting it together a lot easier.
I see... Now I kinda feel like putting one together since it's been such a long time.
Ah...that reminds me, my father always programmed puzzle games.
Your father is a programmer?
Yep. Apparently...he was pretty manly when he was focusing in front of his laptop.
But...I heard he couldn't solve a puzzle he made and it really depressed him. But since he hated losing, he actually went out of his way to write a separate program... And then he made the program do stuff like a brute force attack!
Brute...what?
Ah...um... It's a way of forcibly finding the answer. No worries though, it's normal for you not to know.
I don't really understand, but it seems like Chiaki also knows about programming. But more importantly...why does everything she say about her father sound like hearsay? Wouldn't that mean...she didn't personally see it?
Ah...we should get going and head back.
Yeah...you're right...
Ah...
Huh? I quickly opened my arms and caught Chiaki as she fell into them. A-Are you okay?
...
Ah, how embarrassing... I've never tripped before in my life...
As she said that...she stepped away from my chest. My heart...sounds really loud. Of course it does... It's my heart.
Ah, that surprised me. You're pretty hard, Hajime.
Huh? HUH...? Ah, um...that is...
Unlike me, your arms and chest are really built. You're definitely a boy.
Oh, that's what you meant... Yeah, that's obvious.
But I'm glad you caught me. That means I'll be fine in case of emergencies...
Even if I suddenly get sleepy...I'll be fine... You can carry me...
...
H-Hey! Don't sleep!
Hm...?
I desperately tried to keep Chiaki from falling asleep, and walked her back to her room...

Free Time Event 5 (Page 6)[]
Invite Chiaki to hang out
Um...there's somewhere I wanna go with you today... ...Is that okay?
Yeah, of course. Anywhere is fine. It's the first time Chiaki has picked a place herself. My heart is starting to race...
Chiaki took me to the beach.
...
She's looking around for some reason... Hey...why'd you pick the beach after all this time? ...Did you want to swim or something?
Ah...in those types of games, usually...
...you'd put lotion on my back, right? And then you'd touch me in a weird place and I'd yell at you. It's a standard tactic.
Huh? Which reminds me...where do you think the legendary tree is growing...?[8]
...What kind of game are you talking about now?
I shall give you three choices for what we're going to do from now on. ...Please select from the following three.
Is this a new game of hers or something...? I opened the piece of paper Chiaki gave me... ...
Do I really have to choose one of these...?
Celebrate in the ocean
Celebrate in the ocean...? I don't even know what this means...
Then you shouldn't have gone on that boat in the first place.
Why is this choice even an option in the first place...?
Hug Chiaki
Then...I hug Chiaki. ...Just kidding!
Oh, you were...? I'm glad you were just kidding. If you did something that violent so suddenly, it would've been very bad. All the flags in the story would've been lowered, and the affection meter would've drastically decreased.
This is pretty difficult...
Happy Happy Joy Joy
"Happy Happy Joy Joy"...? What does this even mean?
Hmm, I don't really know either, but it's probably something like this.
Suddenly, Chiaki started running.
Um... Catch me if you can!
She continued running across the beach... ...
I had no choice, so I chased after her...
After chasing her around for a little bit, we felt really tired and sat down on the beach... Chiaki...what in the world are we doing...?
Hm...I was thinking about...overcoming the genre...l'm bad at...
Bad at? Oh, now I remember. The other day you mentioned that there are games you're not good at.
Apparently...my father also wasn't good at things like this. Well, this...is the most difficult, after all.
But...hmm, I see... So this is what it feels like.
Why do you feel convinced by yourself...?
Just now...that was a date, right?
I think those are usually a little different... But I sort of understand what Chiaki meant when she said she's not good at this genre. She probably means...dating sims.
After spending time with you, I realized something for the first time. There are a lot of things I still don't understand. For example, I know how babies are made, but I don't really know how to fall in love with someone. ...That sort of thing.
Why...would you use that as an example...!?
Oh, what happened? Your face is red, Hajime.
N-Nothing happened...!
...Just as I thought, there's still a bunch of stuff I don't know anything about. I want to know more about lots of things! Cuz if I do, I'll be able to understand much more...I think.
So...can you keep teaching me, Hajime...?
Yeah, of course. But in order to do that... We need to hurry up and get off this island.
...
...Don't ever forget about me. Even after you get out of here...
...Huh? I don't know why Chiaki would say something like that... But there's no denying this strong bond I feel between Chiaki and myself... I will definitely get out of here...and take Chiaki to a lot of different places...
After discussing different areas about where we should go next, I returned to my room...
