Haibara's Teenage New Game+ (2026) s01e04 Episode Script
If You Support Me
It was like a dream.
These were the days I wanted.
The days I yearned for.
That's why I prayed to God that day
to redo my gray adolescence
and repaint it with a rainbow of color.
Everything was going well.
The gray boy's plan for a colorful
adolescence was proceeding perfectly.
Or so I thought.
Sorry, Natsuki, but leave me alone today.
Tatsuya, if something's bothering you, I—
Shut up! I told you to leave me alone!
Sometimes I feel so pathetic,
I just want to be alone.
You wouldn't get it,
since you're Superman.
Wha?
Well, you know
What's up with Tatsuya-kun?
Rei, do you know anything?
No.
Our group drifted apart after Tatsuya
distanced himself from us.
Those days were boring.
I could see my colorful world
losing its brilliance.
Before I knew it, I was
returning to familiar sights.
My gray adolescence was calling me.
You did so good, Natsu!
Yeah, thanks.
How'd you do, Uta?
Well, thanks to you, I got
110th!
So you can keep going to practice!
Hey, isn't that Haibara-kun?
What? He's totally my type, too.
And he's smart?
He's actually perfect!
Hey, Natsu.
Let's all hang out this Saturday.
Tatsuya is jealous of you.
Tatsuya likes Uta.
Sorry, Uta. I feel like spending
this weekend alone.
Oh, okay.
Redoing my teenage years, huh?
I shouldn't have tried if this was
how it was going to be.
Is something wrong, Mr. Top of the Class?
If something happened, I'll at least
lend an ear as your childhood friend.
Don't bother. I'm already drenched.
Yeah, you're right.
Want me to at least carry your bag?
If it gets any wetter,
your books will be screwed.
I'm just so nice, you know?
So, what happened?
It's none of your business.
It totally is.
Because I'm helping you with your
plan for a colorful adolescence.
Then you don't have to help me anymore.
Welcome back.
Seriously? Who said
you could just come in?
Now, now. Don't be like that.
This room hasn't changed at all.
Have you been in my room before?
In kindergarten, remember?
Don't tell me you don't remember.
How could you?
That's ancient history.
Anyway, it must have changed
since kindergarten.
Well, you definitely have more books.
Real nerdy ones.
Oh. You're such a boy.
Shut up!
And don't look at those!
Help! I'm being assaulted!
Want me to actually do it?
You don't have the balls.
Don't force yourself
virgin.
You've added a bookshelf,
but I think the layout's still the same.
Why are you taking pictures?
You'd better not upload those to Minsta.
I won't.
I wouldn't want Reita-kun
to get the wrong idea.
I'm just commemorating
my visit since it's been a while.
Don't you have practice?
I skipped.
Huh?
I'm not as serious about it as Uta.
But you couldn't practice until recently.
That's different. I had to study then.
I pulled all-nighters and studied hard,
only to place eighth.
It made me realize
this school's pretty high-level.
So I was surprised when I saw
you were top of the class.
Where did this sudden change come from?
I just studied really hard.
For your high school debut
and colorful plan?
Yeah.
I see.
Well, that's only 20% why.
Oh, you mean why you skipped practice?
What about the remaining 80%, then?
Uta's clearly been acting weird.
I knew something was up
and asked her about it.
But I couldn't get a clear answer.
So I went looking for you instead.
Wha?
That's why you're being so persistent?
You don't have to be rude about it.
I'm your partner in crime, remember?
But my plan already fell apart.
Yeah, I get that you think that,
so why don't you tell me about it?
Don't. I'm not a child.
But I used to cheer you up when you cried.
Yeah, in the past.
We're not that close anymore.
You're so petty.
You're still not over middle school?
I'm sorry I couldn't help you.
No, I chose to distance myself.
You don't have to apologize.
Right? I agree.
In fact, I've done nothing wrong.
I wish you'd give me a break.
But seeing you like this
reminds me of back then.
I've known you for years.
I knew you before your high school debut.
I know you're not very cool,
that you're actually kind of pathetic,
and that you suck at talking to people.
And I understand that not
every part of your plan will go well.
So you don't have to act tough around me.
You don't have to hide who you really are.
What do you want, Natsuki?
Can we talk?
What do you want?
You can't be serious.
We're friends, aren't we?
I told you to leave me alone.
Until when? It's already been a week.
It's probably better for the group if I'm
not around, so don't worry about it.
Why do you think that?
At the very least,
I've never felt that way.
Yeah, I'm sure you haven't.
You know I'm jealous of you, right?
I'm more than just a little envious.
I don't want to feel that way about
a friend, so I should distance myself.
Because Uta and I are getting along?
You knew about that?
I couldn't tell. Reita told me.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, that's right. I've had an unrequited
crush on her since middle school.
Even I'm surprised to learn
how jealous I can be.
But I have no idea how to make
Uta interested in me instead.
I'm not better than you in any way.
Basketball was my greatest strength,
but we went all out,
and you beat me easily.
Hey, Tatsuya.
Don't apologize. I'm in the wrong.
You're not responsible for any of this.
Apologize?
Don't be so damn stupid!
What?
I came to complain to you.
I see. So that's what happened.
Are you an actual idiot?!
I was trying not to say anything,
but this is just so stupid!
Maybe it is my fault,
but why are you yelling at me?
That's where you're wrong!
You don't have a single reason
to worry so much.
What?
I mean, this is just
that Tatsuya guy's fault.
How you act and which girls
you get close to are none of his business.
Y-Yeah, but Ultimately,
it's because of me.
I can't believe this is why
you've been looking so glum.
Listen to me.
You've done nothing wrong.
Stop feeling guilty about it.
What?
At the very least, you have no reason
to be depressed or apologize.
In fact, you'd better not apologize.
You're being spineless.
Actually, you're just being stupid.
What the hell?
Maybe I seem that way to you, but—
You can't see the forest for the trees.
Think about it. There's no
such thing as a perfect person.
But you are perfect.
I'm just trying harder because
we just started high school.
I'm anxiously doing everything
carefully and deliberately.
I'm sure it looks perfect
from the outside.
You're anxious? Yeah, right.
But I'm not kidding.
I've been working hard.
You just don't see it.
You have no reason to envy me.
Stop running and face me, Tatsuya.
I don't believe a thing you said.
You don't seem that way at all to me.
You breeze through everything
and make it look easy.
I could say the same thing.
You're a powerful extrovert who
makes friends with everyone,
and you're cruising through your teens.
Meanwhile, I'm stressing out
about everything!
Huh?
Listen, Tatsuya.
I'll shatter your illusion of me.
But I also understand
how Tatsuya-kun feels.
Right now, your lack of flaws
actually makes you less charming.
You seem unapproachable
because you're too perfect.
It'll be hard to change myself even more.
I'm already doing everything I can.
Yeah, you've worked hard.
I know because I know how you used to be.
You've changed so much,
nobody else has any idea.
I think I have a solution for you.
Really? Please, Miori. Help me.
In that case
show everyone the real you.
My name is Haibara Natsuki!
I'm an ex-gloomer and dweeb who
reinvented himself in high school!
Nice to meet you!
What?
It's true. If you don't believe me,
this was me in middle school!
Well? You got a problem with that?
Not really, but this is you?
You think I'm lying?
Look closely. We have the
same facial features.
Seriously? Wait, really?
Hey! Stop looking at my waifus, idiot!
I didn't believe you at first,
but that convinced me.
Don't assume all nerds
are gloomy introverts.
That's not always true these days.
Hold on. You've never
talked about being a nerd.
I told you, I've been careful.
No, I've been showing off.
Huh. So this is what you're into,
and this is the old you? Huh
Yeah, that's right.
I looked up to guys like you.
You looked up to me?
Everything you just said was
how I felt about you.
That envy is mine, too. Give it back.
You're a real pain in the ass.
No, you are.
Come back to us.
Everyone's waiting for you.
Stop running, Tatsuya.
If you like Uta that much,
take her from me.
Aren't you embarrassed to be
scared of an impostor like me?
If anything, I'm scared of you!
You're pretty arrogant
for a guy reinventing himself.
Right?
Actually, yeah.
You're right. Sorry.
Are you mentally unstable?
Shut up. I don't know how to act
anymore because I said how I really felt.
You really were just showing off.
Yeah, I was.
Unlike you, nobody likes who I was
naturally, so I learned to do new things.
I'm not impressive.
And I'm far from perfect.
So stop running away
because you're scared of me.
That's not the guy I looked up to.
Yeah, but how am I supposed to explain it?
I can't just rejoin the group now.
You'll just have to tell them.
"I'm actually hopelessly
in love with Uta-chan
and was jealous of Natsuki-kun, since
he'd gotten close to her recently."
Just say that.
Do I have to say all that?
It's the truth.
I can't take it anymore!
Uta-chan, don't!
I tried to stop them,
but they insisted on eavesdropping.
So you heard everything?
I, uh I'm sorry, Tatsu.
Sorry!
I only see you as a friend!
Oh, no! Tatsuya!
Hang in there! Come back to us!
Sorry. I'm sorry, Tatsu.
I just, uh
This is just so surprising.
I appreciate the thought.
Uta, that's enough.
Tatsuya can't take any more.
Anyway
I'd been wondering what was going on,
but I didn't realize it was
something this dumb.
Yuino-chan, you shouldn't say that.
No? Personally, I hate when people try
to be considerate by avoiding things.
Right, Mr. High School Debut?
Yeah, yeah. I know.
They heard everything,
so I know exactly what she's getting at!
Uh, should we not bring it up?
It's fine. I was planning
to tell you guys eventually.
Then I'd like to see the photo
you showed Nagiura-kun.
I-I'd like to see it, too.
You, too, Hoshimiya?
I'm not afraid anymore.
You'll pay for this, Natsuki!
This is all your fault.
I just got dragged into this!
You made your bed, now lie in it!
I could say the same thing!
Okay, okay. That's enough.
Homeroom is starting.
Uta.
Wh-What?
I won't give up.
See? I knew he could do it.
Aw, he's in the bloom of his youth.
Yeah, it's nice.
We really are.

Well, I guess that worked out.
Thanks. You saved me.
Wow, you're being honest for once.
But if they learn what I'm really like
Listen, I like you.
I like this tryhard version of you,
but I like the real you, too.
Don't get the wrong idea, though.
I just like you as a childhood
friend I'm stuck with, okay?
After all the advice I gave you,
you'd better help me just as much.
We're partners in crime, right?
It's not like I have a choice.
Natsu
Stop running, Tatsuya.
If you like Uta that much,
take her from me.
So that's how it is
Yeah, I knew.
Natsu's heart probably
belongs to someone else.
These were the days I wanted.
