Haibara's Teenage New Game+ (2026) s01e02 Episode Script

Dreamlike Days

Hello?
Oh, Natsuki? It's me.
Why are you calling?
And why do you even have my number?
I got it from Namika-chan.
I thought I'd gather information
on my Reita-kun.
When did he become yours?
Forget the details.
Can you hang out now?
Ugh, lame.
Didn't you wear that the other day?
Who wears a tracksuit to meet a girl?
I don't own decent clothes, okay?
In fact, this is the most
decent outfit I have.
I'll tell you about Reita,
but I want something in return.
Sure, of course. Do you need help
with something already?
I'm actually hanging out
with that group tomorrow.
Oh, I see. And you don't
have anything to wear.
There's no telling what would
happen with my fashion sense.
Please.
Thanks for coming with me.
It's fine. I'm the only person you can
genuinely ask for help, right?
So I think I'm the perfect partner
in crime for you, too.
Partner in crime?
I told you, I want to learn more
about Reita-kun and get close to him.
I need your help.
You're part of his group.
It'll be easier with your help.
And in exchange, you'll help me
with whatever I need?
Of course.
I'll make your high school debut a success
and turn you into
the greatest socialite ever.
In any case, if you help me,
I'll help you find a girlfriend, too.
Man, I thought I was
gonna be late for sure.
Who's nearly late to an afternoon meetup?
Tatsu's never been an oversleeper,
but he's always late anyway.
I kind of get that.
I end up lounging
around until it's time to go.
And yet I bet you're never late,
Hoshimiya-san.
Okay, let's go.
Hey, Natsuki-kun, where did
you get that outfit?
Just Unislo. Do I look lame?
You're so negative.
I was trying to compliment you.
Thank you, Miori.
Y-You look good
in that outfit, too. It's cool.
Cool? Not cute?
Oh, uh
I'm just messing.
I actually prefer androgynous fashion.
I end up buying men's
clothes if I like them, too.
I'm glad you think I look cool.
Hoshimiya's so cute.
Ooh! I haven't been here in forever!
What should we do? What should we do?
What should we do?!
Let's start with whatever's available.
How do you feel about table tennis?
Nice. Let's do it.
I'm actually pretty good at table tennis
even though I'm terrible at other sports.
Oh, yeah? Then I'll show you
my smash, Hoshimiya.
I don't think I want to play you.
You scare me.
You'll have to beat me
if you want to get to Hikarin!
When did I become the evil boss character?
Hoshimiya, let's rally at another table.
Sure. Go easy on me.
Yeah, okay.
Hoshimiya's so cute.
Easy!
They're both incredible.
Let's take it easy.
Yeah.
Good luck, Hikari.
I think I'll root for Natsuki.
Why don't we set up a tournament?
Nice. That sounds fun.
Huh? Sorry. Maybe it's because
I haven't played in a while.
I feel like there was a pretty
big gap between the racket and ball.
I see. Yeah, okay.
I guess I'm a little out of sorts today.
Don't be afraid to tell her the truth.
Hoshimiya, I'm amazed you claimed to be
decent at table tennis with your skills.
D-Don't say that!
I know how it looks, but I really am
better at this than other sports.
As you just saw, Hikari's only flaw is
her devastatingly poor athletic abilities.
What? But didn't you suggest
we come to Spo-cha?
I'm not good at sports,
but I still like them.
What's so wrong with that?
Hoshimiya's so cute.
That might be the only thought
I've had all day.
Let's go, Reita.
It's time to settle
our longtime rivalry!
I don't think you've beaten me very often.
Shut up!
What matters is winning right now!
Take this!
Damn it.
That was pretty close.
That was incredible.
I'm better than both of them, actually.
Sure, of course. You're actually
at least as good as them, right?
You bet I am.
Let's hit the next game.
We're not taking a break?
Our time's limited, idiot!
We don't have time to rest!
Uh, okay
This frustration can only be
lifted by swinging a bat.
To the batting cages!
What should we do?
We could just let him go.
That's mean. That's not
how you treat a friend.
Truly close friends don't mind
if you're not there.
I'm not sure that's as deep as it sounds.
Well, I agree.
We're close enough that we don't need
to be so considerate of each other.
I never built relationships
like that outside of family.
I still haven't.
To starting high school!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
Is this why we got together?
I just decided it is.
Plus, it signifies our
newfound bond as friends!
I'm impressed you're not embarrassed
to say that, Uta-chan.
Should I not have?
No, it's fine. You're so cute.
So are you, Hikari.
Hey, Yuino-chan!
Anyway, I'm impressed, Natsuki.
Hmm? About what?
We're on sports teams,
and you kept up with us just fine.
Right? No wonder your abs are shredded.
Your footwork during
badminton was great, too.
Why didn't you join the team
when you can move like that?
Now that I'm in high school,
I'm thinking about getting a job.
I'm broke.
A job, huh?
I've never worked, so I wouldn't know.
Family restaurants and convenience
stores would be standard choices.
Other options that come to mind are
karaoke boxes and fast food restaurants.
Yeah, I guess so.
Would you like to visit my workplace?
Did I hear that right?
You have a job, Yuino-chan?
Yes, at a café near here.
That's news to me!
I know. I haven't told anyone.
It's called Café Mares.
Their sweets have gotten popular recently.
Oh, I've been there!
So that's where you work, Yuiyui?
The pay is decent, and they treat us fine.
I'll check it out sometime.
I'll decide if I want to
work there after that.
Hikari, how long are you going to sulk?
You didn't tell me,
but you told Natsuki-kun right away
when he said he was looking for work.
That doesn't sit right with me.
I-Is it because she's interested in me?
I was going to tell you eventually.
I only told Haibara-kun
because the timing was right.
No, she's right.
I got carried away. My bad.
Hey, Natsuki.
What's up?
You don't really like Tatsuya, do you?
I thought so.
What makes you say that?
It's nothing major,
but we've gotten pretty close,
and yet you don't really
do things with just Tatsuya.
Now that you mention it,
you might be right.
You're observant.
I always have been.
Maybe too much.
I didn't say anything because I thought
you were still getting used to each other,
but today felt different.
How does it seem to you?
It seems to me like you're afraid of him.
If it's just my imagination,
don't worry about it.
I think you're right.
But it's not like that.
It's a me problem.
It's not Tatsuya's fault.
Sorry, Natsuki. I can't keep
covering for you.
And more to the point, you piss me off.
Tatsuya hasn't done anything
wrong, so please don't tell him.
I'm sure I'll get over it eventually.
Got it. That's what I'll do.
You're okay with that?
I don't have the right
to do anything in the first place.
This is a problem between you two.
Actually, since Tatsuya's too obtuse
to pick up on it, it's not even a problem.
I was just curious.
But we're friends, right?
I only asked because I thought you
might be worried about something,
though I won't ask what that is.
If you say you'll resolve it
yourself, then I trust you.
Reita's looks aren't the only
reason girls like him.
It must be this side of him, too.
The court's finally open!
Finally!
Didn't they just play basketball
at practice yesterday?
They must really love it.
Playing at practice and playing
for fun are different.
So I get it.
Here, Natsuki.
Despite everything, I liked basketball,
so I kept playing even though
everyone hated me in high school.
I even kept practicing
shooting in college by myself,
mostly because I had nothing better to do.
Since starting over,
I haven't touched a ball until today.
It only takes a few days of not playing
to throw off my ability to shoot.
I did it for seven years,
but I'm not confident
I can easily make shots anymore.
I'm not confident, but
Basketball players have a unique sense.
The moment I looked
at the basket, I felt it clearly.
I'm in the zone today.
What? Wow!
The ball feels so light.
No, it's my body that feels light.
Physical strength is incredible.
I should've trained when I was
still playing on the team.
Natsu, you're awesome!
I never knew you're good at basketball.
Well, I'm not bad.
Wow! Wow! Why don't you
join the basketball team?
I've actually never played for a team.
But you're this good? You're a genius!
There's a basket at the park
near my house, so I played a lot.
You've gotta join the team.
It's not too late.
Right, Tatsu?
Tatsu?
Huh? Oh, uh
I'm just so surprised, I froze up.
You're seriously incredible.
It is fun to play again.
Huh?
Right? You should join the team right now.
I don't know
I'm thinking about getting a job.
I think it'd be a real waste
if you didn't. Right, Tatsu?
I can't be sure until I see you play more.
One-on-one, first to three.
It seems to me like you're afraid of him.
If it's just my imagination,
don't worry about it.
Sounds fun. Let's do it.
I have to get over my trauma
from last time already.
It'd be rude to Tatsuya otherwise.
He hasn't done anything wrong.
So I'll play with all I've got.
I'll beat Tatsuya here and now.
Go, Natsu! You can beat Tatsu!
You can do it, Natsuki-kun!
Hey, nobody's cheering for me.
That's your handicap
for being on the team.
Oh, fine.
I'd like to show off for her.
Let's go.
Bring it.
If your footwork's better, just blow
past your opponents, you know?
Seriously? Are you for real?
Next point.
I knew you would do that.
Fake left, drive right.
I know because I practiced
with you for three years.
That's your go-to.
Was that a fluke?
It's half instinct.
I probably wouldn't stand a chance
against Tatsuya as a third-year.
But this Tatsuya has a lot of flaws.
Even lacking talent, I'm managing with
experience and knowing his habits.
Second point.
Time to take this seriously. Let's go.
He's fast!
No wonder he's the ace.
His talent's on another level from mine.
But I won't let him win.
I want to show off for Hoshimiya.
And I've always wanted
to beat you for once.
I got way too carried away,
but you protected me until the end.
Even though everyone hated me,
they didn't bully me
I stayed on the basketball team
until the end
because our team captain and ace didn't
let people talk shit behind my back.
My teen years were gray, but they
weren't a worse color because of you.
So I'm grateful.
Third point. Here we go, Tatsuya.
Bring it on! I'll stop you!
I think I was afraid of Tatsuya
because he shines to bright for me.
He's so brilliant,
I can't face him head-on.
I don't consider myself his equal.
I'm afraid he'll hate me.
Despite that
this time, I want to be your friend.
Yeah!
Damn. Seriously?
Wow! You're incredible, Natsu!
Yes, yes! Yeah! Victory!
Uh, thanks.
You were amazing!
Was I?
Yeah, you were perfect!
Nice work!
You should join the team!
You could join tomorrow!
