Drama Segment
Takumi is nervously waiting backstage.
Ima approaches him and says, βSumino-senpai, youβre still hanging around here?β He tells Takumi thereβs no reason to be so nervous.
Takumi, however, is completely shaken.
βS-s-s-sure...β
Ima immediately replies, βSenpai, your voice has way too much vibrato going on.β
Takumi admits that just thinking about having so many people watching him is enough to make him panic.
Ima reassures him:
βThe audience arenβt School Invaders or Commanders, you know?β
Takumi agrees.
βYeah... this isnβt a defense battle.β
After calming down slightly, Takumi asks Ima:
βBy the way... do you think this stage outfit suits me?β
Ima answers:
βDonβt worry about it. Though honestly? It totally doesnβt suit you. But the audience is gonna be too busy staring at adorable Kako anyway!β
Right on cue, Kako enters wearing a dress.
Ima immediately starts showering her with praise.
βAhh, imouto-chan in a dress is ultra rare pretty!β
(*In the English version, βimouto-chanβ is translated with phrases such as βmy dear sisterβ or βSister Dearest.β)
Kako:
βHehe... does it look good on me?β
Ima:
βA devastatingly cute lifeform has been born! This is violence through prettiness itselfβ¦ Princess Kako!β
Kako:
βGeez, onii-chan, youβre exaggerating!β
Ima:
βAhh... Iβve reached the Happy True End. Ima Tsukumoβs hundred days have finally paid off. Ah! I can hear the ending theme playing in my head already...!β
Just as Ima continues getting carried away, the sound of a door opening echoes through the room.
Clang.
βAh... Aotsukiβs here,β Takumi realizes.
At that moment, the familiar βDECIDE YOUR DESTINYβ sequence appears.
The question shown on screen is:
βWhich Aotsuki is about to appear?β
The left choice reads:
βFirst playthrough fake nice-guy Aotsukiβ
The right choice reads:
βPost-second-playthrough true-nature Aotsukiβ
(The moment the choices appeared, the audience burst into laughter.)
The left option is selected.
A cheerful, refreshing Eito appears.
βHey everyone!β
Eito begins reminiscing about the past year.
βItβs already been a whole year since release. So much happened after that. We made merchandise, fixed bugs and released patches, the company president got recognized in China as an influencer... so many things happened. Ahh... thinking about it is making my chest feel full...β
He talks as though he himself were a Too Kyo Games employee.
Takumi responds:
βWe need to give all the gratitude we possibly can to everyone who supported us this far.β
Eito passionately encourages him:
βItβll be fine, Takumi-kun. If you made it through those hundred days, then you can do this too. Youβve got your friends with you. Letβs show everyone our bonds through the spirit of βWe Are All One!ββ
Takumi nods.
βYouβre still cheesy as ever... but youβre right. Iβm not alone.β
Ima adds:
βThereβs no point trying to act polished now. Going all-in as your true self is what makes you senpai, right?β
Encouraged by Imaβs words, Takumi finally steels himself.
He turns toward the audience.
βEveryone! When I give the signal, give me a loud βYeah!β!β
Then he calls out:
βAlright everyone! Letβs start the Class Festival!β
The entire audience responds together:
βYEAH!β
And with that, the short drama concludes.

Introduction
βHUNDRED DAYSβ begins playing in the background as MC Taguchi enters the stage.
(Taguchi had also served as MC for previous The Hundred Line livestream programs on YouTube.)
After a brief greeting thanking everyone for coming and promising a variety of event segments, the MC invites the cast members who performed the live reading onto the stage.
After each cast member gives a short introduction:
MC: First, Kimura-san, could we hear your thoughts on the reading?
Kimura: This was my first time actually performing scenes live together with the other cast members like this, so it was really fun.
MC: There was a huge laugh during the βDecide Your Destinyβ sequence. Today we got first-playthrough Aotsuki, but now Iβm curious whether the evening show will go with the second-playthrough version.
Sakurai: Did everyone properly shout βYeah!β earlier? You really should commit to those kinds of things.
MC: Maybe the audience was a little quiet. (laughs) And what about you, Sakurai-san?
Sakurai: To be honest, I was actually nervous backstage. During game recording, we all record separately, so this is genuinely the first time weβve really performed together like this. Seriously. Uhβ¦ nice to meet you. (Sakurai bows toward Kimura, and Kimura bows back.)
Ogata: Youβre introducing yourself now?!
MC: Ogata-san, you also appeared on the livestream held 100 minutes before release, right?
Ogata: Yes, though actually, our Ito here has never appeared at a real-life fan event like this before. (*Ito is a voice actress affiliated with BreatheArts, Inc., the company headed by Ogata.)
Ito: Thatβs right. This is my first one.
Ogata: Everyone... thank you for taking imouto-chanβs first time. (speaking in Imaβs voice)
MC: And we have one more guest joining us. The scenario writer for this game, Kazutaka Kodaka!
Kodaka walks onto the stage.
MC: This event celebrates the gameβs first anniversary. How are you feeling right now?
Kodaka: Well, the fact that this many people gathered here a year after release probably means The Hundred Line isnβt a kusoge (junk game) after all, so Iβm relieved it didnβt turn out to be a terrible game.
MC: (laughing) Of course it isnβt a terrible game! Ito-san, you said this is your first event, but honestly you donβt seem that nervous.
Ito: No, I am nervous! (smiling)
MC: Really? You donβt look nervous at all.

Fan Survey Results
MC: Now then, letβs move right into our first segment. Before the event, we conducted a survey, and today weβll be revealing some of the results everyoneβs probably curious about. First up is the most common total playtime among respondents.
Q: Approximately how many hours have you played?
1st: Over 100 hours β 69.27%
2nd: 51β100 hours β 21.26%
3rd: 31β50 hours β 6.88%
4th: Under 30 hours β 2.59%
MC: Amazingly, nearly 70% of players have spent over 100 hours with the game! Kodaka-san, what do you think about these results?
Kodaka: Originally, The Hundred Line was developed as a game people could keep playing for a long time, where the experience would end whenever the player personally felt satisfied. But in the end, a lot of people actually went out of their way to see all 100 endings. Iβm really grateful to everyone who spent so much time playing it. Thank you very much. At the same time though, itβs also kind of surprising that about 3% of players are still around the 30-hour mark.
MC: At around 30 hours, thatβs roughly just enough time to finish the first hundred days, right?
Kodaka: Yeah, around that much. Which makes me wonder what kind of mindset someone would be in to answer the survey at that point.
MC: Maybe they only bought the game recently?
Kodaka: Thatβs true. They mightβve just started recently. The gameβs actually on sale right now too. I think it comes out to something like 46 yen per ending.
Ogata: That cheap?!
Kodaka: Yeah, itβs currently 40% off. (*By the time this report was published, the sale had already ended.)
Well, hopefully people can just casually play through it little by little.
MC: Actually, how many people here in the audience have seen all 100 endings?
Around 50β60% of the audience raise their hands.
Ogata: Thatβs incredible! Though honestly, sorry for saying this everyone, but... do you all just have way too much free time? (to the audience)
Kodaka: I really do want people to take their time with the game, so thereβs absolutely no problem with playing it slowly.
MC: Kimura-san, do you also hope everyone experiences all 100 endings?
Kimura: Yeah... I know itβs a huge undertaking, but I worked really hard to perform all sorts of different versions of Sumino, so I hope everyone keeps playing!
MC: There you have it! Everyone, make sure you keep playing until youβve seen all 100 endings!
To be continued in Part 2.
