## Story

Nozomi was apart of Shuns Original Team and they were ready for a big Tournament but sadly Shun's Father died in a traffic accident, and Shun stopped playing games. Nozomi did everything she could to support Shun.

Nozomi was next seen working at her father's Game Cafe and Akito asked her to join them for a game but she declined as she was working. Akito begged her and promised that the group would each order a large Omurice, Nozomi reluctantly agreed and told Shun the order. Whilst Shun prepared the meals Nozomi teamed up and dominated the game being the last of her team standing. After the food arrived the guys wanted Nozomi to put her love into the rice by drawing what they requested in ketchu. Nozomi put zero effort into their requests and Just wrote them in Kanji much to the disappointment of Akito and his friends. Akito then told Shun to play and that got Nozomi angry and she told that Akito being Shuns best Friend should know that he can't play games. Akito said that it is because they are best friends that he is trying his version of therapy, Nozomi then pinched his cheek and demanded he stop. Nozomi then woke up a sleeping Shun who had passed out whilst taking a virtual class for college entrance, she told him to head home and she gave him some fresh Rice balls,.

Nozomi was next seen eating lunch with Akito and Shun and was annoyed that Shun only had some leftover Rice Balls to eat she immediately took her Bento lid and loaded it with half of her Bento and told Shun that he needs to eat properly and that she would bring 2 bento next time if it meant that he would eat properly. Shun apologized and accepted her offer. Later at Work she noticed that Jonathan had quit Fox One and she asked was her Father okay, she was told that he has no team and he is finished as Jonathan still wants his pay which he didn't have. Akito then offered to join the team and then he asked Nozomi who refused, then Nozomi's Father begged Shun and Nozomi immediately jumped in and told her Father to stop as she would not allow Shun to play as she knows about his trauma. Mr Inazuki refused to stop which annoyed Nozomi more forcing her to physically pull her Father off Shun, Whilst this was going on Akito dragged Shun to the arcade and made him a deal if he lost he won't ask him to join again but if he wins he has to join, Nozomi accepted his terms as did Shun. She watched Shun struggle against Explosion but thanks to Explosion taunting Shun for being rusty, Shun got his groove back and managed to Win.

The next day Nozomi hosted interviews for players to join Fox One, sadly all early applicants were only in it for themselves so she didn't even consider them, later her father suggested putting a flyer for only Gold Silver or Platinum ranked players, they tried but nobody showed up, the next day they got 2 applicants one was a rotund man who went by Princess, the other was a cosplayer called Big Bang Infinity, both refused to give their personal information at first which she thought was a red flag, however both were exceptional players so they were both hired. Big Bang Infinity still refused to give their real name so Nozomi followed them along with Shun and Akito and the other Applicant, they saw BBI enter an apartment so Akito sent Shun in, Nozomi objected to letting Shun go alone but Shun said it would be fine, Later Nozomi arrived at the apartment and saw the mess, she then recognized Yū Saegusa as the famous actress, she asked why would she live in a dump, Yu told her that this is tidy compared to what it used to be like, Nozomi then berated her for still having such a messy Apartment much to Yū's annoyance

The next day Nozomi watched everyone sign their names so the team was complete and Composed of Nozomi Inazuki Shun Tokinoya Akito Sendō Yū Saegusa and Ryuusei Nagamine
