## Arc Chronology

Akane has been having trouble sleeping for the past few days because of her neighbor, Pandora, who is a live streamer and gamer. Pandora streams every midnight, which keeps Akane awake. Yamada and his team came up with a plan to get Pandora to leave.

## Arc Summary

On a certain day in February, Akane, Eita, Takezo and others were at Tousei Academy waiting for Runa's entrance exam results. Runa was throwing tantrums and wishing she could go home due to her fear of the possible results. Takezo was looking at the bulletin board where the names of the successful candidates were posted. When he spotted Runa's name, he shouted in joy causing her to sob. Yamada was exhausted from tutoring Runa and was waiting for the others at the back of their school grounds. Akane went to him and congratulated him on managing to tutor Runa. Due to Runa's acceptance into Tousei Academy, Akane's heart began to flutter as she saw her running towards them.

On their way home by foot, Yamada enquired about Akane's potential sleep difficulties as she had dozed off on a train earlier. She insisted on watching a movie together despite being advised by Yamada to go straight home and rest. Later that night, loud thumping and shouting erupted from another room in Akane's house which woke her up from her sleep. She tried knocking but couldn't be heard over the noise so she sat in her living room considering what options she had.

Akane is at a cafe with Momo, waiting for Maki's arrival. Akane is tired and desires a trip where she can rest. Momo asks if the noise complaints from her neighbors have been addressed, to which Akane responds that she has informed the agency and landlord but the noises continue. They discuss whether it's a party or just one man making noise.

Yamada meets Okamoto at school, and they both passed their exams. Okamoto reveals he spent 15 hours playing video games yesterday, which Yamada finds concerning. Okamoto jokes that Akane might be bored with Yamada.

Princess Ruri announces a celebration for Runa and Yamada passing their exams with the Chocolate Rabbit Guild. Despite being exhausted, Akane attends but falls asleep in the bathroom later on. When Runa throws a tantrum about wanting to go somewhere else after lunch, Akane snaps and tells her to shut up before realizing what she said and apologizing.

Yamada advises Akane to go straight home after apologizing to Runa because of her exhaustion. As they descend stairs together, an unknown person claims his pass holder fell but clarifies it wasn't his as Yamada briefly turns away from Akane who almost falls down the stairs due to exhaustion but fortunately, Yamada catches her just in time.

Akane tells Yamada about her new noisy neighbor and applies patches to his back where he was injured by the handrail. Yamada makes a lighthearted remark about Akane's sandals, but she becomes upset and thinks she is bothering him with her problems. However, Yamada reassures her that he is happy to help and suggests they talk to the livestreamer neighbor together. The livestreamer has all of his cardboard goal followers pasted on one side of the wall in his room, with the words "100k followers" as his goal.

Runa is shocked by an incident with Akane and asks her brother Eita about their relationship with Yamada. Eita suggests they are a couple, but Runa is left feeling excluded. Yamada invites Akane to stay at his house to get some rest, but she initially hesitates because she thinks he wants something in return. When Yamada admits he might find it hard not to touch her if they share a bed, Akane blushes but insists she doesn't want him involved with her noisy neighbor. Tani arrives drunk and offers to help deal with the neighbor while dragging Yamada along.

Pandora of the Dawn is a livestreamer who plays the game War of Dolls and gains followers by shouting and cursing during his streams. Tani and Yamada suspect that Akane's noisy neighbor is also a livestreamer, but they are hesitant to confront him. While Akane prepares brunch using a cooking set she gave Yamada as a gift, he arrives at her apartment and asks if she got enough rest.

He then reveals that he stayed up late playing video games with his teammates, not because of the noisy neighbor. Yamada suggests that Akane stay at his house for a week while they wait for confirmation on their next match. Meanwhile, Metabolic Panda leads the team in-game with Jet Black Bride and Tanaka while Gobou locates Pandora's map location and Kim handles comments on Pandora's stream.

Tani calls a meeting with Team Red Fox in the middle of the night to discuss their plan for playing the War of Dolls game. The team is split into two groups: one to corner Pandora in-game and the other to cause chaos in her livestream comments. Yamada brings a laptop with sufficient hardware for them to play without any issues.

Jet Black Bride snipes Pandora's character, while Metabolic Panda chases him down and throws Molotov cocktails at him. Pandora tries to recover but is attacked by Tanaka, causing his performance to be criticized by his audience. Gobou tries to make friends with him on chat, while Kim causes havoc in comments as per their roles. After the game, Yamada and Akane are on the phone planning a movie date when Akane heard Pandora's screams, but Yamada brushes it off as just TV noise from his neighbor's room when Akane asked.

Yamada meets one of Akane's neighbors who finds him attractive and offers to help him with anything he needs. Yamada asks about the noises in the apartment complex, and she explains that it's because of disrespectful university students passing by.

Later, while watching a movie, Akane sobs while Yamada appears bored. After leaving the theater, they notice two women filming them, specifically Yamada. He talks to them while Akane waits on a bench nearby and feels bothered by his popularity at Tousei Academy. They discuss watching the sequel to "12 Cuties and Me" together later while Yamada promises Tani a late-night game at the same time.

Akane and Yamada watch a movie, but while Akane is emotional about it, Yamada appears bored. She offers him some apples but he falls asleep while she's in the kitchen peeling them. Despite knowing he wanted to stay at her apartment, Akane drives him home to bond with him and worries about his injury from saving her. After taking a shower, she notices a bruise on her arm from when Yamada held her tightly at the train station. When she finds Yamada sleeping on the couch, he wakes up laughing and asks how long he slept for. He pulls her closer and hugs her as she worries about her damp hair being cold but doesn't mind his touches.

Yamada's room is dimly lit by his PC setup, which Akane finds confusing. Despite Yamada insisting he can't see anything, Akane notices him moving as if he can. When Yamada turns off all his devices, he accidentally knocks over a table that Akane can relate to because she's been struck by it before.

Akane struggles with controlling her thoughts and emotions around Yamada, often talking too much about unrelated topics and insinuating ridiculous things that aren't essential to state aloud. She wonders if this is a form of self-protection against the overwhelming emotions she feels for him.

Yamada notices his refrigerator is fuller than usual and only offers Akane tea because there's no water available. When asked about a memo from his landlord regarding her extended stay at his house, Yamada reveals the house belongs to his uncle and offers to answer any questions she has about him. She asks random questions like what TV show he likes and why he's alone in Japan (his parents are abroad). When asked about Tani at her apartment, Yamada grins and calls Akane a stalker.

Meanwhile, Tani and Gobou are bored in a voice chat discussing their plan to make a girl happy by pressuring Pandora in-game to leave the apartment complex alone. The team has recently been motivated by tampering with Pandora because they get bored when they don't do it. Their main goal is to put pressure on Pandora so that he must leave the apartment complex alone—an idea Tani came up with called "Let's all make the girl who was nice to me happy."

Pandora is frustrated with his continuous loss streak in the game due to three players who keep harassing him, even off livestream. Gobou suggests he move to a streamer-friendly home and take a break from streaming, but Pandora refuses to quit. He mentioned that he sent a message to Tanaka, to which Tani made Aqua reply to the message because only he can understand his own dramatic idioms.

Pandora suspects the three players are cheating but Gobou just warns him that he may have more serious stalkers as a rising star. While showering, Pandora sees Tanaka in the mirror and receives a noise complaint from his neighbors. He decides to play a game and when he announces it, Tanaka starts playing too. The next day, Mallard Moving Center helps Pandora move out of his apartment while Tani and Yamada stop by his balcony to say hello, causing Pandora discomfort given their past interactions.
