Afterwards (possible from around 4/27), talk to Ai after school on the Classroom Building 1F; with Courage rank 3 (Brave) you can agree to skip class with her, which starts Rank 1.
Availability
After school on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, on the Classroom Building 1F of Yasogami High.
Best choices by rank
Rank 2
- Shopping at Okina — the store has nothing new in
- We'll have to come back.
- "Buy me an iced latte."
- Buy it yourself.
Rank 3
- "What should we do instead?" (later in the scene, Ai coldly rejects an admirer — never pick "That was downright cruel...", it reverses the link)
- Let's just chill.
Rank 4
- The boys' conversation gets vulgar
- Stop them.
- Ai freezes up — get her out of there
- Hey, let's go.
Rank 5
- "Do you think maybe I'm his type?"
- Have a little confidence.
- Ai asks you to find out her crush's type (never pick "Not gonna happen!", it reverses the link)
- No problem.
Rank 6
- Romance detour choice — after her crush rejects her: "Haha, just kidding..." (picking "I'll be your boyfriend." starts the temporary-lovers route, which blocks the true romance at rank 10)
- ......
- "Hey... why don't you and I just go out?" ("Sounds good." also enters the temporary-lovers route)
- Are you sure about that?
Rank 7
- Normal route: "I'm sorry. I don't mean to keep making you hang out..."
- I don't mind.
- Normal route: "I wonder why...?" ("You have a crush on me." is an equal +3 alternative)
- Because we're friends.
- Temporary-lovers route: pick out clothes for Ai
- Sexy clothes.
- Temporary-lovers route: "Do you think I'm pretty?"
- Of course you are.
Rank 8
- Normal route: Ai talks about the guy she liked
- Happens all the time.
- Temporary-lovers route: "Do you love me?"
- Of course.
- Temporary-lovers route: "You need me, right?"
- Naturally...
Rank 9
- Normal route: Ai looks like she's in danger
- Help her.
- Normal route: after rushing to her
- That was reckless of you.
- Temporary-lovers route: breakup scene — "I'm so worthless..." ("You decide your own worth." is an equal +3 alternative)
- That's not true.
- Temporary-lovers route: "Is there any way... that we could just be friends?" — NEVER pick "We need time apart.", it permanently breaks the link
- Sure.
Rank 10
- Romance choice (normal route only) — Ai confesses and asks what you will do ("Reject her." ends it as friends). On the temporary-lovers route this scene has no meaningful choice and ends in friendship.
- Accept her.
