## Summary

With the intention of letting her team mates, Yukimura and Masamune know of the fact that she is indeed a girl, Hotaru approaches her apartment with a heavy heart, to find Masamune invite her to a Yakiniku party, over at Tooru's place. Sensing something off from Hotaru's expression, Tooru encourages her, and offers her some advice, trying to cheer her up and letting her know that there are people around her who will listen to her problems if she had any, since they are "adults" after all. She is shocked to know that she is no longer a part of the team, after having a brief conversation with Masamune. Her gender revelation had nothing to do with it though. She blames herself for not having defeated Midori all the same, at the TGC. On wanting to prove her worth, she sets out to search for Midori's whereabouts, and challenges him to a game, where she tracks him down to a Hospital he works at.

## Synopsis

Hotaru Tachibana decides to tell her teammates that she is a girl and starts to imagine how Masamune Matsuoka may react. Matsuoka ends up waiting her at the stairs and invites her to eat some barbecue at Tooru Yukimura apartment. Seeing Yukimura's room, Tachibana decides to clean it a bit and starts to get rid of the porn manga, making Yukimura comment that isn't garbage. Yukimura comments that Tachibana probably thinks he is creepy, however Tachibana states she is amazed he can talk about his weaknesses, although she thinks he is pervert. Tachibana makes a few attempts to reveal she is a girl, but always gets scared and stops.

After eating, Matsuoka wants to talk and asks Tachibana if she likes survival games. Tachibana ends up explaining she loves them, however hearing that Matsuoka tells her in that case she needs to leave the team. Tachibana wonders why is that and if it because she is weak and Matsuoka confirms, stating that they only needed a third to participate. Showing Tachibana out, Yukimura states that Matsuoka wants to make Tachibana quit before she starts hating the survival games due to their personal issues with Midori, just like their previous member left the team. However, Yukimura doesn't agree with Matsuoka and punches him for acting like only he is hurt in this situation. Yukimura states that he doesn't believe Matsuoka truly wishes this, but if that's the case, he won't follow him. Yukimura then leaves too, but realizes he left his own apartment and can't get back in.

Tachibana ends up taking her gun and finding Nagamasa Midori in the hospital. She pulls out her gun, stating that she is there to take Midori's head, however Takatora Fujimoto manages to stop her with Midori explaining that they shouldn't bring survival games to their everyday life. Midori tells her to wait for him and after work, he takes her and Fujimoto to a gun cafe. There Tachibana reveals she was kicked out of Toy Gun Gun because she is weak and due to that, she is here to take Midori's head. Midori states that won't solve her problem, but invites her in the next room to play.
