Despite us getting all the way to rank 101 in the last series, Taro is going through some existential issues…





: Hmm, this is a problem


: What should I do?


: Oh no…


: I have to somehow break out of this situation.



Look, don't feel too bad about it Taro, your performance is actually quite good. You've won every race, barring the ones with Fujiwara. But these are helping you climb the ranks and...


: Why can't I get a girlfriend?



Oh.... It's about that again...


: This won't get us anywhere!


: Pick up girls. Go pick up girls!



Oh god, again?


: I'm going to find a cute girlfriend!






Well. It's once again forcing us to go to the map.

Perhaps this is a sign that we've been too focused on the racing sub-component of this dating simulator / visual novel.

I guess we're going to the shopping district…


: When it comes to picking up girls, Motomachi is the place to be.


: Let's go now.






Well. This place doesn't look much different than most times we've been here. Sayaka isn't here any more. The girl in the blue dress is, and I presumably can still click on the buildings at the left there to visit the Shopkeeper.





: Oh, a girl has collapsed!



Well, that's new…


: Are you okay?






: Yes, I just fell a little.



: Your knee is bleeding. Here's a handkerchief.



Ooh, the music suddenly kicked into a romantic tune…

Have we finally met the girl of our dreams?


: I'm so sorry.


: Is it okay to have such a cute handkerchief?


: Floral pattern...?



Oh, this is the handkerchief we bought from the shopkeeper and equipped earlier. Turns out it actually does have a use for dating…

Uh, lady, please be aware it may have a little bit of alien / politician and / or ballerina blood on it…


: Oh, that's right.


: I was thinking of giving it as a present to my older sister. That's the one I bought.


: Huh, to your sister?


: It's fine, it's cheap.



Taro really cares about his sister to get her such a lovely, bloodstained gift.


: but…


: I'll wash this and return it.


: It's okay, don't worry about it.



No really, it's already stained with various entrails on it from the majority of the Kowloon Walled City population.


: No, please let me do that.Otherwise I'd feel bad.


: Could you please tell me your contact information?



Whoah. A girl asking for our phone number? We may have a chance here goons.


: Okay, but…


: thank you very much


: I'll definitely return your handkerchief.






: Wow, she was a cute girl…

: But what can you do with a 1000 yen handkerchief?
