Report 218

Plot
At the ReLIFE Laboratory office, Ryō and An are helping Arata get started with his new job in the ReLIFE Laboratory Support Division. While his experience as a subject means he does no have to complete the year of training, he still has to learn a lot of information about related to the school, teachers and students before he can begin. As Ryō reminds him to do his best, Arata replies that he does not mind the heavy load and fast pace of the work as he also finds it fun. Ryō then encourages Arata to make the best of the rare opportunity to have fun and drink in his adult form in the party given in the evening to celebrate the new employees in the company.



Arriving at the party, Arata is nervous about his new group just like when he entered high school for the experiment but steels himself by reminding himself that he is one of the newcomers being celebrated after all. He sits down at the table still struggling to calm down, when Chizuru now in her adult form walks up to him and notifies him that the seats are allocated by lottery and that Arata has taken her seat, with neither recognizing the other. Arata apologizes and leaves the seat feeling embarrassed for doing the same thing again, but is confused by the feeling as he cannot recall it from what was the first time he met Chizuru.

Later, Arata has found a seat for himself at another table. Ryō sits down next to him and reminds Arata to take the opportunity to talk with other newcomers and people other than those from the support division, with whom he has been spending the evening so far. Arata agrees and remarks that people must find someone who used to be a subject interesting to talk with. As they continue talking, Chizuru looks at them from her seat with a puzzled look on her face.
