Haibara's Teenage New Game+ (2026) s01e10 Episode Script

Hoshimiya Hikari has a crush
on Haibara Natsuki.
I was forced to admit that.
He's my first love.
I want to be with him,
date him, and be held by him.
The stronger these feelings become,
the heavier my heart feels,
because I'm not the only one
who likes Natsuki-kun.
I like Uta-chan, but
I made up my mind.
I won't let Uta-chan beat me.
I won't hide how I feel anymore.
I'll steel myself to talk to Uta-chan.
Do you want to form a band?
Uh, what?
I'm serious. Let's change
the world with our music.
This is so sudden and confusing
that I'm left speechless.
Why is this happening?
But going back to the end
of summer break
I-I'm Shinohara.
I look forward to working with you.
I'm Haibara Natsuki.
This is our first time
working together, isn't it?
Actually, we've worked together
a few times before.
What? Really?
But we never properly
introduced ourselves.
Haibara-kun, one Napolitan.
Oh, you're here, too, Shinohara-kun?
S-Sorry. I'm basically invisible.
Wait, we attend the same high school?
Yes. I'm in class 1-4 at Ryomei.
We're even in the same year?
In that case, can I call you
Shinohara-kun?
Yes. In that case,
may I call you Haibara-kun?
Thank you.
You don't need to be so formal.
Sorry. I feel more comfortable
using polite language.
This feels familiar.
He's an introvert like I used to be.
Natsu, over here.
Sorry. Did I keep you waiting?
A little.
Come on, Seri.
Natsu rushed here after work.
We ran into Serika after practice
and decided to go to karaoke together.
Seri said she wanted to hear you sing.
Let's go. I'm excited to sing.
Seri!
She really marches to her own beat.
What did you think of
Natsu's singing, Seri?
I think I like Natsuki.
What?!
Oh, my mistake.
I meant I like his singing.
Oh, that's a relief.
We sang so much.
My throat's hoarse.
I haven't sung that much in a while.
I can't believe how good you are,
Serika. I was surprised.
I'm not that good.
Wasn't that fun, Natsu?
Yeah.
Let me know if my feelings bother you.
I said I'd try to win your affection,
but I don't want to get
in the way of your happiness.
Uta
Natsuki? What is it?
I just thought you were really good
and couldn't help myself.
Really?
Why are you by yourself?
I'm not in a band.
My motivation level's different
from the other club members',
so I'm the odd one out.
I like how you play the guitar.
You like me?
I didn't misspeak like you did.
You're no fun.
Still, thanks.
What made you start playing?
My dad used to play in a band,
so I naturally started playing
the guitars we had at home.
It was hard at first, and I gave up
a bunch of times, but I learned over time.
I enjoyed learning to produce the sounds
I wanted to make, so I kept playing.
I gave up before I reached that point.
Would you like to try?
Your F is off.
Your first finger needs work.
It's been a while, okay?
My fingers don't move that well.
This is fun.
I'm having fun, too.
I've never seen you smile
like that before.
I get hyped up when
I'm talking about music.
I've never been good
at expressing my own feelings.
But I wanted everyone to know how I felt.
The sound of the guitar is
the only way I can express myself.
I feel like I can communicate
my feelings with music.
So, Natsuki
Iwano-senpai, do you need something?
No. I thought you were practicing,
but I see you're with your boyfriend.
Sorry for interrupting.
Is he in your club, too?
Yeah, he's a second-year.
Don't you think we should correct him?
He thought you were flirting
with your boyfriend.
It doesn't bother me.
It's kind of a problem for me, though.
Anyway, weren't you about
to say something?
Right, yeah.
Natsuki, can I ask you something?
Yeah?
Do you want to form a band?
Uh, what?
I'm serious. Let's change
the world with our music.
Which brings us to the present.
This is so sudden and confusing
that I'm left speechless.
What's our next class?
Art, right?
Why me?
Because I want to play with you.
I like your singing.
I want you to sing my songs.
So you want me on vocals?
But I like how you sing.
It can't be me.
My voice won't reach everyone.
So I need you to sing, Natsuki.
I can't do it.
Why not?
Because
Is there some reason you don't want to?
I have my work and studies, and
I don't know about joining a club late.
Hold on. Why am I looking
for reasons to say no?
I shouldn't actually have any.
After all, I wanted to be in a band.
I was waiting for someone
to reach out to me like this.
I thought I could trust you.
I thought you'd keep up
with me if I tried my hardest.
Natsuki, don't you actually
want to play music?
Serika is right.
I'm probably just afraid.
Will I really be living my best teen
life if I decline Serika's invitation?
Didn't I swear not to have any regrets?
Let's do it, Natsuki.
I want to do it with you.
I want to play music with Serika.
There's one hurdle we
have to overcome first.
You mean finding band members, right?
I'll play lead guitar, and you'll
be vocals and rhythm guitar.
So we'll need a bassist and drummer.
Yeah. There's someone in my club
whom I'd like to play with.
Iwano-senpai, a second-year.
You met him yesterday.
Oh, right.
He's a really good drummer.
The problem is, he's already said no.
Well, that won't work.
But I'll try asking him again.
With you in the picture,
I think he'll say yes.
My involvement's not going
to change anything.
It's fine. It's worth a shot.
Courage alone can change the world.
I'll convince Iwano-senpai,
so it's up to you to find our bassist.
What? You don't know any bassists?
All the bassists I know
are already in bands.
We could borrow someone,
but I want to take this seriously.
I want motivated people
who are only in our band.
That's a high bar.
I guess that's enough for today.
Wait, Serika.
Help me choose a guitar.
What are you looking for?
I used to have a Fender Strat.
Yup, this is the one.
An amp, effects pedal, shield, and tuner.
You bought a bunch of things.
I blew all my savings.
Are you sure? I guess I should have asked
before you bought the guitar.
I actually did want to play in a band.
Thanks for inviting me.
Wh-What is that?
Can't you tell? It's a guitar.
Yeah, but why now?
I bet you watched an anime
about that sort of thing.
Don't bother.
It's not like you'll stick with it.
Don't crush people's dreams
when they're just starting, okay?
Are you seriously
going to play in a band?
Yeah, that's the idea.
Are you going to perform
at Ryomei's cultural festival?
Cool, cool. I'll go watch
if you're playing.
I'm not currently planning to do that,
so don't get your hopes up.
Aw, darn.
I started playing guitar
because I wanted friends.
I kept playing even though I wasn't
in a band because I liked music.
Music and rock gave me the courage to
keep living through my gray adolescence,
so
That went better than expected.
Hello?
Good evening, Natsuki-kun.
What are you up to?
Practicing guitar.
I'm going to be in a band.
Huh?!
Um, Natsuki-kun, I had no idea.
I knew you liked rock,
but this feels so sudden.
It was a surprise to me, too.
But Serika invited me,
and I'd like to give it a shot.
I see.
So what kind of music
are you going to play?
I don't know yet.
But knowing Serika, I'm sure I'll like it.
Sounds like you really trust her.
I'm jealous.
What? I, uh
Still
If that's your decision, I support it.
Thanks. Good luck to you, too.
You've started writing a new novel, right?
Yeah. I submitted the work I showed
you for a new author award,
and I'm waiting to hear back.
I'm looking forward to your next work.
I'm looking forward to
hearing your band, too.
Don't raise the bar on me like that.
You sound so unsure, Natsuki-kun.
You were supposed to say, "You bet."
Let's sync up.
Iwano-senpai said he'd hear us out.
He's going to sing vocals?
Not you?
Yes. He's better than me.
You'll see once you hear him.
Well, this is intimidating.
I'll be right back.
Wh-What's going on?
He said he'll go get a drum set
so we could try playing together.
He meant all that?
Iwano-senpai is a man of few words.
You'll get used to it.
Natsuki, get your guitar set up.
I get why Hondo said you're good.
Your guitar playing needs work, though.
But he has potential, right?
His voice is probably better
for the songs you write, too.
Are you sure, though?
It's fine. I don't need to
sing my own songs.
Let's do it, Iwano-senpai.
I like how you play the drums.
I'd like to play with you, too.
Even if we play together,
it'll only be for this year.
I can't keep playing after that.
Iwano-senpai wants to be a doctor.
Surprising, right?
My parents are doctors.
I have to become one, too,
but I'm not smart.
I won't succeed if I try to
do two things at once.
But you want to do it, right?
That's why you look so pained.
I like your guitar playing
and the songs you write.
That's why I'm afraid I'd keep playing
if I formed a band with you.
Then we'll just play until the festival.
Let's give it our all
for the next month and a half.
We'll put on the best show we can
at the festival and then call it quits.
Why are you willing to do that for me?
With your skills, you could find
plenty of other, better drummers.
I was drawn to your drumming.
I don't mind if our
time together is short.
I still want to play with you and Natsuki.
Fine.
Just until the festival.
High five.
H-High five?
So, we have a vocalist,
guitarists, and a drummer.
What about a bassist?
Huh?
I'm still expected to find someone?
Just so you know, if we're going
to play at the school festival,
they have to be a student here.
R-Right.
This keeps getting harder.
Bassist, bassist, bassist
A bassist isn't going to fall into my lap.
Could you wash these, too?
Sure thing.
I need to work hard,
since I blew my savings.
By the way, Shinohara-kun,
why are you working?
Oh, uh I need money.
Instruments and equipment are expensive.
Instruments?
What do you play?
Bass. I'm not very good, though.
Yes! A bassist fell into my lap!
S-Sorry. Am I in trouble?
No, not at all.
I was just wondering
if you'd join our band.
Oh, really? That's a relief.
Wait, what?!
We're looking for a bassist.
An experienced bassist from our
school who isn't in another band.
Well, I do fit that criteria
I'm an odd one out in the club.
Shinohara-kun, you're in the school club?
I've seen him in the club room
a few times I think?
Couldn't you at least
show some confidence on that?
No, I'm sorry. I'm basically invisible.
I'd always played by myself,
but I worked up the courage
to join a club in high school.
I wanted to play in a band.
But I've had trouble fitting in and
haven't made friends, so I'm not in one.
Shinohara-kun, right?
Would you like to join our band?
We're trying to play
at the cultural festival.
I appreciate the invitation,
but to be honest, I don't think
I'm good enough for you.
I don't think I could do it.
But you want to play in a band, right?
Yes, but I
If you got a job to pay
for instruments and equipment,
then you haven't given up, right?
Well
Shinohara-kun feels how I did
when I played the guitar by myself
before time traveling, so
Why don't you give it a shot?
If you're interested,
you can decide once you've tried it.
W-Would it be okay
if I tried playing with you?
Of course.
Should we try "Taisetsuna Mono"
by Road of Major?
O-Okay.
