Report 117

Plot
During the early stages of Arata's experiment, Ryō and An lied about both of them taking a second year of training in Aoba High School. The reason was the plan for An to take over Chizuru's support duties during her second year as a ReLIFE subject, which they had to keep secret.

After Chizuru learns that An was going to be her support instead of Ryō, the three continue their discussion in Chizuru's home, with Chizuru questioning their previous actions that do not make sense to her. As she knew Ryō is actually an adult, she wondered if he was really going out with a high school girl when she saw him and An together at the volleyball tournament. When she asked him about his relationship with An, she thought he was joking when he wondered if Chizuru was asking because of her feelings for Arata. When Ryō says that he may have been serious, Chizuru notes that she finds it very strange for him to suggest that an adult like her would be going out with a high school student.

Ryō changes the topic back to the change of support, which was delayed from its intended timing because Chizuru getting suspicious of Ryō and An's relationship after the volleyball tournament meant she might figure out that An is an adult ahead of the supports revealing it on purpose. Chizuru keeps pressuring him and An as there seems to her to be no reason to wait until the second term. Ryō and An explain that while the transfer was decided early on, they did not want to have Chizuru unnecessarily affected by having two ReLIFE staff members in the class with her, and that An also needed more time to prepare as she was still in training in another school.

Chizuru wonders if Ryō is leaving the class, and he replies that it would be too much trouble to arrange it in the middle of the school year. She then voices her impression on the situation, revealing that she has suspected the truth: since the support change was decided before the start of the first term, Ryō will be staying in the class, and An will take over as Chizuru's support from the second term, the reason Ryō is staying must be to support Arata. While Ryō feigns ignorance, Chizuru makes it clear that she is not convinced.
