Chapter 3 begins with Sara telling us about midterms in her usual ramshackle fashion. Literally everyone stays in the room to make study plans, except Laura, who is convinced she needs to work on something privately. And then I have free time to bond with people, and my classmates have paired off in such a way that Laura's now with Alisa. I help them learn art. Then Towa helps me learn economics and poly sci. Finally Crow gives me a hand with CPR and survival skills. Sara's at the schoolhouse to inspect, but nothing has changed. Guess that won't be a part of this current arc, unless something suddenly happens. Other people around the school give me some pointers on the test as well, including the instructors.

Then I start walking back in the rain with Alisa, and she's talking about the exams in past tense?? How do I think I did? I didn't take them yet! Alisa seems concerned she might know the maid who dropped in on me a couple minutes prior and mysteriously knew my name. Soon after, we'll have her join as the dorm maid and make trouble for Alisa maintaining her privacy. Whoops!

Then the exams begin...and hey wait, Towa never said anything about the ORDER of the stupid acts. I should have been able to get that one right without stressing. (The art one didn't seem too obvious, either.)

Jusis, on if Sara might be leaving us for a date: "Impossible. The Empire hasn't yet turned out a man desperate enough to woo that alcoholic typhoon."

Sharon cooks an impressive spread for breakfast, and everyone's impressed and complimenting her, but Alisa looks like she's about to spit nails. Holy font size, Batman. But at least it's Alisa's mom that is the company chairman, for better gender representation. I wonder if her pink high heels give her +3 speed, too.

Free time: I help Fie with some plants, get trapped in the computer room with Alisa until her maid comes to rescue us, and WEEE! Motorcycle ride! (No player interaction, though, beyond telling Rean how to work a clutch.) Finally I go shopping with Laura to help her understand what it means to be a girl, whereupon she brushes off my plushy suggestion to ask if other girls would like a buff action figure dude. She thanks me for helping her shop and says we should do it again. Link level 3 reached.

Ashes hops up on my desk as soon as I talk to Celine. Apparently she's curious in the other kitty noises coming out of my speakers. Also, Vivi did not buy the grand rose for another prank, though I was kind of hoping. I knew it would be Margherita, but I still would have rather seen another Vivi prank.

Schoolhouse time next.
