OOC: Free Time
1ST FREE TIME
TOGAMI: What is it? Are you thinking about who you're going to kill?
You should give it careful consideration. It's essential for winning this game...
...What should I do? Should I spend time with Togami-kun?
TOGAMI: ...Very well. I can spare some of my precious time for you.
You should be thankful for it...
I spent some time with Togami-kun...
I think we became a little closer...
Should I give him a present?
Moon rock: A rock brought back from the moon by the Apollo program. The composition of moon rocks differs depending on the place they were dug in. This one is from the "Sea of Tranquility".
TOGAMI: ............
I can accept this.
I think he's a little happy...?
TOGAMI: ............
...I have one question I want to ask you.
NAEGI: Eh? You have a question for me, Togami-kun...?
TOGAMI: It's been troubling me for some time now. I just want this mystery settled...
You're known as a "Super High-school Level Good Luck"... What does that mean?
NAEGI: U...Um...
I'm not really sure myself...
It's just that I've been chosen in a lottery among every regular high school student in the country.
TOGAMI: So it really was just simple luck...
...I see. In that case, the mystery is solved.
NAEGI: Mystery...?
TOGAMI: The reason why a person with absolutely no talent such as yourself is enrolled in this school...
No, strictly speaking, I should've said "a boring person with no hope of ever acquiring a talent".
A boring person... With no hope of ever acquiring a talent...
NAEGI: ...that's a little severe...
TOGAMI: But it's the truth.
NAEGI: ...I guess, when compared to a "Super High-school Level Heir" such as yourself...
But... even I...!
TOGAMI: Don't sum me up as just being a "Super High-school Level Heir".
It's not just about my bloodline. My mind, figure and physique are all Super High-school Level...
I might as well be called "Super High-school Level Perfection"... That's what you should refer to me as from now on.
H...he's really going that far...
TOGAMI: A person like yourself, who has nothing, and a person like me, who has everything. Truly, humans are not created equal.
Naegi, you have my sympathy. Life sure can be cruel.
NAEGI: ............
TOGAMI: Even I am able of some compassion. I'll do you a favor and tell you more about my magnificent deeds some other time.
You should be honored that someone as plain as yourself gets to hear them directly from the man himself.
Togami-kun left those words of pity, and walked out of the room...
NAEGI: I think I understood one thing about Togami-kun...
Talking to him... is like taking a blow to the ego.
[We get the skill Calm Composure: Our target cursor shakes less during school trial.]
2ND FREE TIME
TOGAMI: Sakura Oogami... She's dangerous. And so is Aoi Asahina.
Either of them may kill at any moment.
...What should I do? Should I spend time with Togami-kun?
TOGAMI: ...Very well. I can spare some of my precious time for you.
You should be thankful for it...
I spent some time with Togami-kun...
I think we became a little closer...
Should I give him a present?
Showa Radio: A classic radio that looks like an antique but is built with the latest techniques. Unfortunately, there is no radio reception inside this school.
TOGAMI: Where did you get this...?! This is a rare specimen that even the combined power of the Togami conglomerate couldn't get hold of...!
I will keep it from now on...!
Seeing someone so happy with my gift... makes me a little happy myself.
TOGAMI: When all is said and done, calling me a "Super High-school Level Heir" describes but one of my numerous skills.
The word "heir" may give you the wrong idea. I am not just relying on the patronage of the Togami family.
Huh...? Did he just start speaking about himself without being prompted...?
TOGAMI: It would be best to call me the Savior of the Togami family.
The Togami conglomerate is already one of the world's largest, but under my leadership it will take a huge leap forward... I really am such a person of exceptional talent. I'm superior to anyone in the family.
That is, even in a distinguished family such as mine, I am the most distinguished.
NAEGI: Y...you have amazing self-confidence... don't you...
TOGAMI: It's self-confidence that's based on fact. I have real achievements that support it.
NAEGI: ...Achievements?
TOGAMI: My personal assets already exceed 40,000,000,000 yen. I earned it all without relying on the Togami power.
NAEGI: T...that much?! How did you do it!?
TOGAMI: Stocks.
In a span of one day, one acquires stocks and sells them. Trading during such a short period of time secures margins from the fluctuation in stock prices...
Even a simpleton such as yourself must have heard of the practice...?
A method of trading stocks within a single day... I've heard about it...
NAEGI: It's called "day trade", isn't it?
So, you made 400,000,000,000 yen by day trading?
TOGAMI: I started doing it just to kill time, but before I knew it I earned that much.
...It's not a big deal.
No, it really is... And also...
NAEGI: Can high school students even participate in the stock market?
TOGAMI: My name is Byakuya Togami.
Was that... an answer to the question?
TOGAMI: That amount of money doesn't mean much to the Togami conglomerate, but it is helpful as a personal fund.
Do you understand now how much more I am than a simple heir...?
NAEGI: So you want to say... That you should have been called a "Super High-school Level Day Trader" instead...
TOGAMI: I have already quit trading... It was a boring game. Too easy.
He keeps saying such outrageous things...
TOGAMI: Whatever I do, it's always the same.
The world itself is too easy for me.
For me, the world is that thing that moves according to my wishes.
So that's what Togami-kun bases his self-confidence on...
Our worlds are so different...
They really are.
3RD FREE TIME
TOGAMI: What is it? Do you have business with me?
Should I spend time with Togami-kun?
TOGAMI: ...Fine. I guess I can spare some of my precious time for you.
You should thank me properly later.
I spent some time with Togami-kun.
I think we became a little closer.
Should I give him a present?
Prince Shotoku's Globe: A softball-sized large globe, found at Ikarugadera, the temple thought to have been built by Prince Shotoku. Known as an OOPArt.
TOGAMI: Where did you get your hands on this...?!
This is a rare item even the Togami family, with all its power, couldn't locate...!
Give it to me.
I'll keep it from now on...!
Seeing someone that happy with my gift makes me happy myself...!
TOGAMI: Oy, Naegi. There is something I want to ask you.
Something he wants to ask me...?
I have a bad feeling about this...
NAEGI: Um, what is it...?
TOGAMI: There are only a few chosen people in this world who can achieve any success.
The rest of the masses warp themselves in dreams they can't hope to achieve... No, they don't even bother with dreams.
They work to earn some small change, then use that small change to prolong their miserable lives...
...I don't get it. Is there any worth to such a life?
NAEGI: Why... are you asking me?
TOGAMI: Beacuse you're a prime example of that kind of person. Don't ask unnecessary questions.
I should've seen it coming...
TOGAMI: I did not have people like you around me until now. That's why I'm interested in you.
Will you tell me what it feels like to live a life lacking any possibilities?
NAEGI: Hey, wait a second...!
I don't think my life is lacking possibilities!
It would probably be impossible for me to become someone like you, of course, but...
But, there is happiness to be found just by living life itself!
TOGAMI: You sound like a third rate pop song, repeating well worn mantra...
Those are nothing but the words of the miserable masses, trying to comfort themselves as they live on...
NAEGI: T...That's too much...!
TOGAMI: But it's the truth. It doesn't matter how much you struggle, you people cannot change the world.
If you just disappear someday, the world will not notice. In other words, the world has no need for you.
NAEGI: I...It has nothing to do with whether we can change the world or not...
There's worth in normal life, too. Living and working together...
As long as I get to live a satisfying life, I can be happy.
That's why... I don't need to compare myself to others...
I don't care how I compare with people like you, who were born into guaranteed success.
TOGAMI: ...Wait!
"Born into"...?
You... have no idea...
You don't understand anything...!
NAEGI: ...Eh?
TOGAMI: People who have been chosen just by being born don't even deserve to be called "chosen", in the truest sense.
You fight and you win. Only then do you get to be called "chosen".
NAEGI: ...W...What do you mean?
TOGAMI: You are naive, Naegi.
You're just escaping reality into a world where self satisfaction is enough.
Escaping the struggles, the wars, the competition.
And that's why you'll never be able to remove yourself from the worthless masses.
Honestly, I don't even won't to be involved with someone as clueless as you.
Togami-kun left the room, leaving behind words full with intensity.
NAEGI: Togami-kun... Sure was acting strangely...
...But he only started acting strangely in the middle of our conversation.
Right after I said the words "born into".
What does it mean...?
