October 1st - 3rd

October 1st - 3rd ( Common Route )

Spoilers Ahead

October 1st is the first day you play when you start the Visual Novel.

The day ( and consequentially the visual novel) starts with a dialogue with Yoshino asking Kotarou for a battle. After noticing he was serious, Kotarou accepts his battle and they plan to meet after school.

Kotarou however forgets about it and goes straight home, admitting he is not a very respectable person.

Afterwards he proceeds to watch some late-night television after getting home and having fun downtown on the day after, only remembering their promise at night before going to bed but still not feeling guilty about it, stating it was too late to regret it.

On Sunday night (3rd October), Kotori's mother ( Rikako ) asks him to search for her in the forest late at night, which he accepts, adding he dares not disobey her, since they've been neighbors for a long time, thus having more authority than most relatives.

He informs us he knows where to find her and heads for the forest, initiating the game's first Mappie segment.

Mappie Segment (3rd October) - Uncomplete

This segment takes place in the beginning of the forest and, according to Kotarou goes a bit in depth to the forest in the end.

( We can assume the scale of the map is very zoomed out from S3, when he gets to the intersection he's been walking for 30 minutes, so we can assume that the whole map might be 2.5 km by 2.5 km , assuming Kotarou walks at a normal speed through the forest )
