Summary
She throws out the jokes, and I can’t help but be the straight man. An after-school rom-com filled with emotion and laughs! “Machino-san from the swim team always drops by the Domino Club's room, where I’m the only member, before her practice starts. She constantly fires off jokes in a sketch-style conversation, and I can’t help but fire back. Back-and-forth banter, teasing words. Conversations full of nonsense... and maybe something more. Every day passed in a flash, yet those summer days felt like they could last forever in that clubroom. But when this summer ends, the dominoes between us will all begin to fall, at once.” “Why did you suddenly start narrating a light-novel-style summary, Machino-san?”
... and the second season of the Anime did a better job of pacing than I thought they would. I think they moved the Elf village arc from before hostilities with the Principality began to the inter-war period, aka the start of the second season, and used that to pad it out. Good call if that's what they did. In any event. Good season.
