- I used to hate my own name.
- It's associated with one of the four Heroes that fell fighting the Vertexes,
- Takashima Yuuna.
- The name Yuuna is given to children who make a specific gesture after birth.
- I have no idea what that gesture means.
- But what I know is that children named Yuuna...
- Are seen as somewhat special.
- *Looked* at as someone special.
- Those gazes are a curse.
- They'd make me impudent, drive me crazy, be filled with scorn,
- make me anxious, make me furious...
- They made me suffer.
- But, having met Lily, I managed to accept them.
- Both my name and the everpresent hold of gazes directed at me.
- It's... a bit embarrassing to explain why exactly, so I won't say it.
- However...
- If there was a Yuuna other than the two us...
- How would she be living, I wonder?
- What would she think of the name Yuuna?
- Hero History Revelations:\NFuyou Yuuna becomes a storyteller.
- Episode 2:
- Bon appetit!
- Deeply delightful!
- This place makes some great udon!
- Am I actually seeing a real case of "makes me want to empty my head and just eat"...?
- Apparently, this place has been using Kagawa-made flour since the Christian Era.
- We should put that in our records of the Christian Era!
- Thanks for the food.
- Already!?
- So, what was that about you possibly having found another Yuuna?
- Wait, wait! I'm almost done!
- That was great...
- Now... To start off, I must first explain to you the concept of the Yuuna network.
- Yuuna... network?
- A social network only people named Yuuna can join!
- That's a thing!?
- I made it!
- Huh?
- You see, Yuzuki-kun, I got an idea around the time we two met.
- "Could there be quite a lot more people named Yuuna other than us?"
- Then I set up a server and used some open-source tools
- to create an invite-only social network exclusively for Yuunas!
- You made your own social network!?
- Lily, you... Really know how to waste your brainpower!
- I'd say I put it to good use!
- Well... Not that anyone joined it...
- My mom told me before that there aren't really a lot of people who have that name.
- An utterly uncharacteristic oversight...
- After that, I forgot about the website and abandoned it.
- But when I checked it for the first time in a while, there was a request to join!
- So, someone named Yuuna?
- Yeah! Her name's Suzuki Yuuna, apparently.
- Yesterday, I sent that Suzuki Yuuna a message.
- She'll respond any moment now!
- The next day.
- SHE DIDN'T RESPOND!
- Insanely infuriating!\NShe's not responding! Why!?
- What does this mean!? Does this Suzuki Yuuna not want to become a friend of ours!?
- Hey, don't take your anger out on the hamburger!
- You're gonna choke on it!
- Half of the blood that runs through my veins is American, so hamburgers are my soul food!
- As if I would ever choke on one!
- COUGH
- Here, a drink!
- Still...
- Why isn't she responding?
- It hasn't even been a day yet, right?
- Try waiting instead of jumping to conclusions.
- Good point.
- One more day later.
- Still nothing!
- Grings my gears!
- Udon's great!
- Can you either seethe or eat, not both at once?
- It's only been two days, wait a little longer.
- Another day later.
- STILL NOTHING!
- Resoundingly rage-inducing!
- Takoban is so good!
- T/N: Takoban - fusion of takoyaki and oobanyaki made in western Kagawa
- It's almost like takoyaki, but this texture...
- The mayonnaise, nori and bonito flakes on top...
- Is this dish an evolution of takoyaki?
- An aberration of okonomiyaki?
- It's ever a mystery for me.
- Right?
- Now how about you listen to me instead of talking about food!?
- I want to finish it before it goes cold!
- Takoban costs 150 or even 200 a piece!
- I rarely ever get it!
- Yu-Yuzuki-kun...'
- I'm sorry... Enjoy it to your heart's content...\NDo you want one more?
- Why are you all teary-eyed now!?
- It's not like I can't eat these because I'm too poor!
- I just don't buy them because I can make them myself when I want to!
- Yuzuki-kun! How decidedly dastardly of you to flaunt your household skills like that!
- That's unfair! I lost...
- Were we competing...?
- I only have money to my name, but you have household skills!
- You're definitely worth more points!
- I lost...
- Again, what are we even competing in?
- Okay, but really, why isn't she responding?
- Lily, I've been thinking, didn't you say you abandoned that Yuuna network?
- How long has it been since Suzuki Yuuna messaged you?
- Oh, it was two months ago.
- ...Huh?
- Two months ago.
- ARE YOU STUPID!?
- You left it there for two months, why would she ever respond to you after so long!?
- Huuuh!? Why!? Naze!?
- She submitted a request to join your shady site and got no response,
- why wouldn't she assume it was a prank or a scam?
- It's been two months, of course she forgot about it already!
- Shady!?
- Just forget it, Suzuki Yuuna probably won't respond.
- Though I am curious about other Yuunas, too...
- What?
- I will not give up!\NMy spirit is infinitely indomitable!
- Yuzuki-kun! We're meeting at my place, right now!
- W-What's gotten into you?
- I'm home!
- Excuse me...
- Let's boot the PC up...
- What's the idea?
- If Suzuki Yuuna managed to find my Yuuna network,
- she most likely frequents the Web to some degree.
- Meaning...
- On the Internet, there are microblogs, blogs, imageboards, video hosting sites and so on.
- All social networks of some sort.
- So, if we look up the name Suzuki Yuuna across them all...
- See?
- Ooh, you found a few accounts!
- Now we cross out the ones that changed usernames in the past, it's likely not their real name.
- That cut quite a lot out.
- Now let's see the contents of their posts.
- If it's the same person, we should see the same posting habits across different platforms.
- Take a look, Yuzuki-kun.
- That's one evil grin...
- This Suzuki Yuuna on different platforms is most likely one person.
- She must be the same person that messaged us!
- And now, let's analyze the photos she has posted.
- Photo scenery, utility poles, manholes and houses are a geolocation treasure trove...
- Let's run the reflections on glass objects, people's glasses and eyes through AI...
- The reflected items are yet another hint.
- From the post time we can derive her behaviour patterns,
- From her posts themselves we can guess her age, area of activities and daily routine.
- I see...
- She's a pretty eccentric Takashima Yuuna freak.
- Freaky... Lily keeps digging up info from her social media!
- Brr... She'd be a real danger if I ever got on her bad side...
- Yuzuki-kun, I got it!
- G-Got what?
- Let's open a map...
- Suzuki Yuuna lives in Ehime, around here.
- She's in middle school, like we are.
- We can guess her school based on her address and area of activities.
- From her friend list and follows we can get an idea of who she associates with.
- You can learn that much?
- Yikes.
- Wait, why are you creeped out?
- Have you considered putting those skills to better use?
- Wait... Huh?
- What's wrong?
- This name she has in her friends...
- You know her?
- Well that's handy!
- We can approach Suzuki Yuuna through that acquaintance of yours!
- Not quite an acquaintance...
- In elementary school, I was both naive and reckless.
- Adults who knew the Christian Era would often link the name Yuuna to Takashima Yuuna,
- so I got some attention because of my athletic skills.
- And I deluded myself into thinking it was because of my own strength.
- That girl and her team were the ones to shatter that delusion.
- I've only met them once, but heard rumours of their exploits afterwards.
- Wanna go somewhere on the way back?
- Look at how petite and cute that girl is!
- Pardon me! Pardon me, I say!
- We're not here to challenge them!
- A remarkably rapid reaction!
- Try not to attract so much attention! This isn't our school, they'll just kick us out!
- We're sneaking into another school here!\NIf we don't show enough spirit,
- they'll surround us and beat us to a pulp!
- Have you been watching too many delinquent movies?
- Uh...
- Yuzuki-san, is that you?
- Uh, yes, I am.
- Ninomiya-san, right?
- Yeah...
- I'm Yuzuki-kun's best friend, Fuyou Lilienthal Yuuna!
- You're Ninomiya-san, right?
- The one who trounced my Yuzuki-kun in elementary school?
- We're here to take revenge for that day!
- NO WE'RE NOT!
- Really?
- What the hell are you talking about!?
- Don't pinch my cheeks!
- I was pretty surprised when you messaged me out of the blue.
- How did you know my contact details?
- We were looking for someone and your social media account happened to pop up.
- Do you know of anyone named Suzuki Yuuna in this school?
- Suzuki Yuuna...? Oh, could it be...
- You know her!?
- Well, we are in the same class.
- Please, introduce us!
- Alright...
- I'll introduce you if Yuzuki-san beats me.
- Beat you?
- One on one.
- Go for it! Go for it! Yuzuki-kun!
- Yuzuki-san, why did you quit your basketball club?
- I've heard rumours that you quit basketball after that match.
- What, your spirit broke after you lost to us? You're a lot more fragile than I thought.
- A feint!?
- She slipped up, now's my chance!
- It's in...
- A three-pointer...
- Third loss in a row...
- Yuzuki-kun, that was incredible!
- I just got lucky.
- And my team in elementary only beat yours because we got lucky too, Yuzuki-san.
- Okay, but really, why did you quit basketball?
- I didn't think any results would come out of it even if I continued playing.
- Results, huh...
- Most of my team at the time quit basketball for the same reason.
- I mean, if you become the best in Shikoku, there's nowhere further to go.
- Did you know? In the old era, people aimed to be the best in Japan and even the world!
- Yeah, we don't have anything like that these days.
- Yeah. This world is so small.
- Okay, I lost, so time to do good on my promise. I'll bring her here.
- It was fun to play against you, Yuzuki-san.
- Ninomiya-san!
- Hm?
- I don't think it matters what stage you shine on, Japan or world or whatever!
- What you do has a meaning for yourself and your surroundings!
- So be it just Shikoku or the whole world, it doesn't matter!
- The most important result is what you've accomplished for yourself!
- Lily...
- Fuyou-san...
- You say some very mature things for a kid.
- Huh? Kid?
- Thanks.
- I'll go get that "Suzuki Yuuna". Wait here, alright?
- Though I don't think she'll be the person you two are expecting...
- Huh? What do you mean?
- A kid...
- Yuzuki-kun and I are the same age!
- Um...
- Hm?
- Ninomiya-san told me to come here...
- We've been waiting! So you're Suzuki Yuuna, yes?
- Eh?
- Uh, well...
- Sorry, I'm not!
- ...Eh?
- Um, my name is Yokote Suzu!
