Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 2nd Season - Saeki Teru (CV: Morita Masakazu)

Saeki is the "prince" or main guy of the game, quite hard (if not the most) to get because his required parameters are multiple and high being and all-rounded character.

(CGs are cropped because of the double screen of the console ;_;)

Handsome, nice and good at everything, he's pretty popular at school among the students girls! Nevertheless, Saeki is not as kind as we may think because he puts an act at school in front of the others. He works part-time at the Sangosho café (owned by his Grandpa) as a waiter and doesn't want anybody from the school to know, since the heroine knows about it from the very beginning (read intro post) he don't feel the need to act in front of her so this results of him being quite mean and rude to her, in the beginning at least~

On the first weekend after their encounter, the heroine receives a notification mail from Arbeit News (or "Job News") to apply for a job at Sangosho Café because they have a urgent need of employees to help out! Since her memory is poor, the name of the café didn't ring much of a bell in her head =u= If she (or rather you) chooses to apply, an immediate anwser will be sent saying that's she's been hired! ♥ When she goes to the café for her first day and obviously meets Saeki who ends up draging her outside the shop with a polite smile to have a little talk before she could explain anything, roughly like:

- "Why are you here?"
- "I've been hired for a job in this café!"
- "... Why especially here? There's plenty of other shops!"
- "I didn't know, really! I applied through a job magazine"
- "Get lost" (that was really mean ;___;)
- "What?!"

Before they could start bickering more, Saeki's Grandpa arrives and asks about the heroine if she's the new employee, introducing himself as "Master". Saeki tells the heroine that there's no way he'll work with her with her, that she should just go home (or rather "get lost" like earlier) but Master wasn't too pleased with the speech his grandson used and asked for reasons. Saeki explains that it's because they're in the same school and "since she's an idiot, people will found out" .... :') He begins to bicker with the heroine again like "I won't tell anyone!" "They will find out!" "No!" thing until Grandpa tells them to stop and get back inside the café. He wants Saeki to show the heroine how to take an order and you get a CG there ♥, actually he's aware of his popularity with ladies and makes benefit out of it~ right after, he hits the poor heroine on the head with a tray because she was spacing out... Nice, indeed~

Saeki doesn't want to walk home with those fangirls and tries to get away
from them but fails until he notices the heroine, using her as an excuse by
saying that she doesn't know the way home so he has to show her since she
has just moved in his neighbourhood. The heroine is surprised by the fact
 that he actually spoke politely to her! poor thing :'D 

While walking home several times with him, we learn that Sangosho is Saeki's pride. His grandpa works alone at the café since his grandma's death, Saeki used to help from time to time when he was younger and someday Master got an injury due to work so his parents wanted to close Sangosho because they didn't see the use to keep it open anymore but he begged Master to continue saying that he'll help him out that's why he moved to Habataki City in order to work seriously for the café. Saeki then made a "contract" with his parents promising that it won't affect his grades. He really looks up to his grandpa and wants be become a Barista (wiki) like him later.

ACCIDENTAL KISS SCENE: 1st May (1st year)
Saeki and heroine are walking home together but Saeki decided to increase the speed ("I have to hurry up to open the café!") but the heroine can't keep up with his pace and begs him to wait for her. He refuses telling her that she should be the one walking faster until he decides to stop suddenly, since the heroine didn't see this coming and was struggling to match his pace, she couldn't stop immediately so she falls on him and CHUU! ♥ Saeki asks the heroine if it was the first time that "things like that" happenned to her LMFAO XD She didn't answer but returned the question instead and he was like: "I have already --- IT'S MY FIRST TIME! It was an accident, ACCIDENT did you hear me? Don't tell anyone about this!" and flees the scene right away~ HAHAHAHA XD ♥ Since this "accident" he becomes paranoid for a while over the fact that the heroine might be too close to him when they are together or that she will mention this accident in their conversations and also, always thinking that she's scheming something when she (you) asks him for a date! .. But the heroine has already somehow forgotten what happened :')

As time goes by, Saeki eventually takes a liking to the heroine (well yeah, if you raise ALL your stats correctly and date him often 8D) even if he's not eager to show it sometimes ~ By the way, he likes to tease her and to give her chops on the head lol. Someday when the heroine had a date with Saeki at the city area, she wanted to surprise him when he arrives since she saw him coming from afar walking slowly, so she decided to hide. As you can guess she failed *pats* because Saeki saw her and scared her instead by behind when she was spacing out:  *chop* "Try again in 100 years >D"
Also, whenever she is late on a date and whenever she fails at doing an activity during the week : CHOP STRIKES BACK!  I really wonder how many brain cells the poor heroine lost <___<"


Everything goes very well for both of them, at a certain point (when :D + state is reached) Saeki asks the heroine on dates pretty often (Aquarium, Botanical Garden, Seaside Parc...) and feels that he may like her more than a simple friend to the point that he almost confesses to her (like every guy in the game)~

At the 3rd year Culture Festival (november), Saeki and Heroine's class are doing a stageplay inspired of the Mermaid  legend, Saeki plays the prince and wears a ridiculous outfit and the heroine plays the Mermaid. They're doing a dancing scene on a ship, it turns out that Saeki has awful dancing skills and keeps stepping on the heroine's foot! x_x Saeki actually admits that he wanted to decline when the others asked him to be the male lead but he only accepted because the heroine was the mermaid :'D and thinking about her dancing with another guy made him angry XD How cute ♥

Saeki doesn't attend 3rd year Christmas party because he's busy at Sangosho but later the heroine receives a call from him and leaves for the café because she sensed that something was wrong. Indeed, she overhears that Sangosho will be closed from now on. After having a talk with Master, she enters Saeki's room asking if she could do something for him, since she insists he tells her to let him sleep on her lap 8D The heroine also falls asleep soon after~

The following morning, Saeki wakes her up and tells her to wear a surf combi
(even through it's winter) because he wanted to show her how beautiful the sea was.

A month later, Saeki calls the heroine asking her to come at the beach because he has something to tell her and that he has not much time. Once she arrived, he tells her he's returning to his parents (far away~) soon so he won't come to school anymore. The heroine asks him if he gave up on Sangosho, she thinks he had always tried his best for the café and such, Saeki replies that he had to stop being stubborn and grow up because he somewhat knew that it would end like this. He asks the heroine to forget him totally and the times they have spent together D8

On Valentines day, the heroine makes chocolate like previous years but this time Saeki isn't around anymore and since she's stubborn, she wants to give him anyway so she goes to Sangosho hoping that he'd be there (as if ...) but he's obviously not and she meets Master instead! He jokes about the fact that his grandson would sulk if he didn't get  any chocos lol. Also, he tells the heroine that Saeki had always acted as nothing happened when he was having hard times, when he was younger he would cry alone at the beach by night when nobody was there to look. Master couldn't stand seeing his grandson exhausted from both work and school anymore, that's why he decided to stop Sangosho, but he promises to the heroine that Saeki will definitely come back! HE CAN'T LEAVE THE HEROINE BEHIND \ô/

Well, there isn't any interesting events until we reach graduation day! ... or rather shall I say confession day~ So after receiving her diploma and stuff, the heroine goes to the lighthouse. She remembers the story of the legend and also the very first time she met Saeki as a child~ Yeah, he was the little boy from the intro but it was obvious anyway :'D (in fact it's exactly the same as the whole intro thing with a little bit more details) The sunray hiding his face disappears and we get too see... his face (that was a lame sentence... ;_;) After recalling those events, she hears a voice .... and I'm surprising you there: it turns out to be Saeki (the high schooler)! /shot So he's finally back, obvious and confession time begins~ First, Saeki asks the heroine to forgive him because he went away from his "mermaid" even after finding her, he could only think about her when he was away~  He also admits that he acted like a brat the whole time and no matter how bad he behaved the heroine stuck with him so when she wasn't by his side, Saeki realised how important she became to him so he swears he won't leave ever again!

Then he gives the heroine the key to Sangosho café saying that they will
reopen it together someday. Finally Saeki says he loves her and they kiss~

Favourite scenes/CGs:

Spoiler:

"Glasses are so uncool" ♥ s-shut up it's definetely cool ;A;

Saeki called the heroine asking her to come at the beach in front of Sangosho
with her swimsuit. She thought it was date so she bought food and such but
when she arrived there, Saeki is doing service~  he tells her to get changed
and to wear an apron. The heroine didn't understand why she should do this:
"Think about the financial benefit that Sangosho will get from a female high 
schooler in an apron!" .... She realizes that she'd been tricked >D and calls
him a pervert :'D not that he mind much though~

I enjoyed this route \ô/ At the beginning I was like "Whut an asshole.... If I were really the heroine I'd punch him ಠ_ಠ" but the further I went on his route, the more I liked him ;_; On a Valentine's day when the heroine gave him chocolate he said:  "Hey let's eat this together later. We'll go hide somewhere! (because of fangirls)" aslkflfsklfkff;! I think I died while hearing those words because it sounded cute ;A;  The ending was actually quite good,  DAMN THAT KEY CG :'D  I don't know if I'll have the time to finish another route soon because of the exams and such, but I'll try my best to go the further possible ;_; Next is Waka-sensei or Harry, depends which route I finish first~
