Itsuki falls asleep at the kotatsu and has a dream. He dreams about his darker middle school days. His mother had just died and he falls in love with a certain girl, but... Back in modern time, Itsuki celebrates his book becoming an anime and has a mixer at his apartment. Haruto brings over a board game about being a light novel artist and they all play. What kind of results will they all get in the end?
My overwhelming sense of hope that 
would crush anything unreasonable.
Dieser überwältigende Drang,
all diese Ungerechtigkeit zu zerschmettern …
Mi arrolladora esperanza
que aplastaría todo lo irrazonable.
Mi arrolladora esperanza
que aplastaría todo lo irrazonable.
et mon désir implacable
de rectifier toutes les absurdités…
La mia travolgente speranza, 
 capace di schiacciare ogni irrazionalità.
O meu grande senso de esperança que
esmagaria qualquer coisa irracional.
И надежду, столь сильную,
что сметёт любые невзгоды…
