Meanwhile hot-blooded Imperial Navy ensign Oogami Ichirou receives communicate from Yoneda, learns of transfer order to the Hanagumi of the secret Imperial Floral Assault Group. Enthusiastic about new assignment thinking he's going to lead a bunch of hot-blooded patriotic *guys* like himself. Goes to Ueno Park to meet Hanagumi contact, but who turns out to be Sakura (much to Oogami's surprise ^_^).
Follows Sakura back to Hanagumi headquarters, doubly surprised to find it's a theater company. Still more surprised when introduced to other members of the Hanagumi (Iris, Sumire and Maria). Has bouts of depression because the assignment didn't turn out to be what he expected. Luckily Sakura-kun is always ready to cheer Oogami up ^_^
Next day on stage Sakura and Sumire get into a fight, Oogami is caught in the middle (at least that's one scenario ^_^). Sakura apologizes and has a revealing talk with Oogami. Battle siren sounds meanwhile and it's off to the first battle with the Hive of Darkness.
Here's a list of LIPS that occur in this episode (approximately in order of appearance). Both the Japanese choices and the translations are shown, plus the effect of the response on the confidence index of Hanagumi members (+ means increase by one, - means decrease by one, @ means no change)
All the LIPS (#8, #9 and #10) choices in the reception desk have no effect, execpt LIPS #9, where if you choose option 1 or if you don't choose, then you'll be given a letter to Sumire from her fan. In any case, at the reception desk Oogami is mistaken for a ticket attendent because of his uniform and because he's holding a puncher. No need to say he's rather embarrased by it ^_^
After finishing business at the reception desk, Oogami is free to roam about. In order to please Sakura later, should go to the theater shop and pick up Sakura's picture (the one on the left). After that, you may go to the business office to chat with Kasumi and Yuri (not necessary though, because Kasumi will come find you later if you don't see them now). But before you go up to the second floor and meet Sumire, you should go to the stairway (up) to the left, where you'll be "surprised" (assuming you haven't read this first ^_^) by an unusually naughty...
After this, Oogami is free to roam again, the following are possible places to go, but it doesn't have to be in this order.
None is required, since it's a very simple and easy battle. Simply finish the lesser goons and go after Sa-tan's unit. A sure-kill attack from each member of your team should be enough to make him flee.
