Interception

Interception is a Youko ending and one of 25 possible fourth episodes in Shiny Days.

Plots
The plot is identical to Knockout Kick up to the point when Sekai asks Makoto about what he thinks Setsuna may comment on him.

Makoto, after some thinking, realizes that Setsuna has never said anything bad on him, and he cannot even imagine Setsuna commenting anything bad on him. Then Sekai reveals to him that Setsuna says nothing bad on him. Sekai then asks Makoto to go to Sakakino Hotel himself and there will be a person waiting for him. Being confused, Makoto leaves Sekai's home.

Sekai then calls Setsuna that she has questioned the feelings of Makoto on Setsuna, and Makoto feels the same way on Setsuna as Setsuna feels on him. She then congratulates Setsuna and suggests Setsuna not to guess what Makoto thinks but directly expresses her feelings on him. Setsuna gratefully accepts the advice and decide to trust Makoto and wait at Sakakino Hotel.

However, Makoto bump into Youko under the Saionjis' apartment. He wonders if Youko is the person waiting for him at Sakakino Hotel. Though a little confused, Youko soon admits and thinks Makoto wishes to have sex with her in a hotel, as they have only had sex in the office in Radish since then. Then Youko and Makoto go to Sakakino Hills hotel to have sex.

Shun, Mai and Setsuna are waiting for Makoto until night, however Makoto doesn't appear. Mai says that there may be some accidents and they shall start to search for Makoto themselves, while Shun says they shall wait. Setsuna also says she trusts Makoto and wishes to wait. Mai and Shun then begin discussing which of them Setsuna is more similar to, until being shocked by seeing Makoto hugging with Youko at the stairs beside.

The game ends when Setsuna turns her face to Makoto and Youko.
