Little Busters - ep03

Things start off with the introduction of two new characters, Haruka and Kurugaya. Although Haruka is the first introduced she isn't the main focus of the episode. However we do get a bit of incite into her character. It appears that everyday she come to visit Riki in his class with the intentions to purposefully make herself late for her own class, but through this interaction it leads to an indirect introduction of Kurugaya. That she is a genius of such a high caliber that she is cable of acing her test without ever having to come to class.

Later during the day when he is on a break between class, he goes to buy himself something from a vending machine. However this action leads to him encountering Kurugaya, who has invite him to sit down with her to have a drink. This makes Riki a bit uncomfortable look at the type furniture that she is ask him to sit down in. Although he eventually gives in and as he sit down the chairs falls apart right from underneath him. However it seems that this was a trap set by Kurugaya just because she felt he would be someone fun to play with. This leads to them have a short conversation, it clear that she is lost in her life because nothing really bring herself any sense of joy. The part ways with her final prank, with her making Riki late for class.

Then once again as Masato is starting another fight with Kengo that they do every episode, but this time is a little different when Kurugaya intrudes by attacking Masato from behind. Once again Kyousuke carries through with his strange rule of fighting using random object, this leads to Kengo leaving. However as he is going he gives Masato a warning not to underestimate Kurugaya. This warning falls on deaf ears, as Masato gets soundly beaten by Kurugaya. Even-though she wins, she technically loss because she won by a method other than what was approved. This resolute in Masato winning by losing, this drives Masato up the wall. Then as Kurugaya is leaving Kyousuke demands that Riki get her to join.

However it seems that Kyousuke's demand was pointless because, she wants to join on her own. Later when they are practicing she comes up declaring how she can't stands how much fun they are having, and demands that they allow for her to join. That this would be the prefect way to kill so time. Since there really isn't any reason to reject her request, Kurugaya becomes one of them with very little effort.
