Toshiyuki Karasawa/In the Series

High School Boys and the Morning Journey
When the RPG trio leave to retrieve their bags, they drop the stick on the ground. A while later, Motoharu, Karasawa and their friend come walking by. Karasawa's friend seems to be talking about a girl, and Karasawa tells him he's been going on for too long about it. Just then, Motoharu notices the stick, and bends down to pick it up.

Behind him, the others immediately switch into RPG mode. Karasawa declares that Motoharu is the chosen one, as his friend observes that a capable wielder of the legendary sword had finally shown up. A battle is then about to begin, with Motoharu the hero challenging a demon lord. From the sidelines, Karasawa remarks that the hero's weakness is his heart.

Just then, a high school girl walks past in silence, and the boys are frozen in place. As she passes out of sight, they drop the stick and leave in embarrassment.
