    Excuse me...
[01:45] Hime
    Yes?

[02:34] Nozomi
    Why'd you run away?
[02:37] Hime
    Uh...
[02:39] Nozomi
    Come on.
[02:41] Hime
    Uh...
[02:44] Nozomi
    Seriously, why'd you run away
    without saying anything?
[02:49] Hime
    Uh...
[02:53] Nozomi
    Come on! Why can't you tell me?!
[02:57] Manami
    Oh, good morning.
[03:00] Nozomi
    Hey! Why didn't you take his letter?
[03:04] Hime
    Well, I mean...
[03:06] Hime
    I couldn't accept it.
[03:08] Nozomi
    Tell me why!
[03:12] Hime
    I can't say it...
[03:15] Nozomi
    Come on, answer me.
[03:19] Hime
    Uh...
[03:21] Hime
    I'm too embarrassed.
[03:29] Nozomi
    So...
[03:31] Nozomi
    Why'd you run away?
[03:36] Kyoko
    You're at home now,
     so no one else is listening.
[03:39] Kyoko
    Can't you tell us now?
[03:41] Nozomi
    That's right.
[03:43] Nozomi
    He didn't seem like such a weird guy.
[03:45] Nozomi
    Did his bald head bug you?
[03:47] Kyoko
    No, he wasn't bald. He had a buzzcut.
[03:50] Kyoko
    He seemed like a guy who's
    into sports, though.
[03:53] Nozomi
    Really? I bet he smells sweaty, then!
[03:56] Kyoko
    He seemed pretty pleasant to me.
[03:58] Nozomi
    You think so?
[04:01] Kyoko
    I didn't see any reason
     to run away, in any case.
[04:04] Hime
    You're right, but...
[04:07] Nozomi
    Then why?
[04:12] Hime
    Well, I'm... scared.
[04:17] Kyoko
    Of boys?
[04:20] Nozomi
    Wait, were you always like that?
[04:23] Nozomi
    You talk to Komori and Nekomi, though.
[04:27] Hime
    Talking to them normally
    isn't a problem, but...
[04:32] Hime
    Well...
[04:34] Kyoko
    What?
[04:37] Hime
    I mean...
[04:38] Nozomi
    Wait, is it going out with
    a guy that scares you?
[04:47] Kyoko
    So... what is it you're afraid of?
[04:50] Nozomi
    I know!
[04:51] Nozomi
    Sexual stuff, right?
[04:52] Kyoko
    What, that?
[04:57] Kyoko
    Wait, really?
[04:59] Kyoko
    No, that's not it.
[05:01] Kyoko
    Hime's not that type.
[05:04] Kyoko
    So... it's what comes after that?
[05:07] Kyoko
    Is it getting pregnant?
[05:12] Kyoko
    They say being a hybrid of differently-shaped
    species makes childbirth tough for centaurs.
[05:16] Nozomi
    We had a lesson about that once...
SIGN    All citizens qualifying as biologically intermediate are eligible to receive various forms of support to ensure that they are able to live a life without hindrances, and are not put at a disadvantage mentally or physically.
SIGN    This guarantee is offered under the Second Article of the Constitution and applies to all citizens. However, concealing or falsifying one's criminal record, as well as failing to provide one's criminal record in compliance with the Third Article, are grounds for criminal charges.
[05:19] Kyoko
    Well, that's why the government offers
    a guarantee to folks like that.
[05:23] Nozomi
    What are you, a government bulletin?
[05:26] Kyoko
    Is that why?
[05:28] Kyoko
    What? It's not?
[05:30] Nozomi
    Then what are you afraid of?
[05:34] Hime
    Well...
[05:38] Hime
    When I was in kindergarten...
[05:50] (Flashback) Brat
    Does yours look like that, too?
[05:52] (Flashback) Hime
    No! That's a cow!
[05:55] (Flashback) Brat
    Will your boobs get huge, too?
[05:57] (Flashback) Kyoko
    Um...
[06:07] Kyoko
    So... are you saying you're worried
    that yours is gross, too?
[06:14] Nozomi
    Well, he was right about your boobs.
[06:16] Kyoko
    You idiot!
[06:19] Kyoko
    Have you ever looked at yourself?
[06:22] Hime
    I'm afraid to.
[06:24] Nozomi
    That doesn't give us much to go on...
[06:27] Kyoko
    Guys don't even worry about
    that kind of thing, anyway.

[06:39] Hime
    But...
[06:41] Hime
    With a complex like this,
    I can't date anyone.

    Maybe not, but...

[06:49] Kyoko
    Have you ever seen anyone else's, then?
[06:53] Kyoko
    Even at the pool or a public bath?
[06:56] Hime
    I don't want anyone to see mine, either,
[06:59] Hime
    so since I can't hide it...
[07:01] Kyoko
    I see...
[07:03] Hime
    Everyone else covers themselves
    when they change, you know?
[07:06] Nozomi
    Good point.
[07:08] Kyoko
    Of course, I asked that,
    but I've never seen anyone else's, either.
[07:13] Nozomi
    Yeah, same.
[07:14] Kyoko
    Still, this is a problem that won't go away
    unless you compare your own to someone else's.
[07:21] Hime
    And that's what I'm afraid of!
[07:23] Nozomi
    Okay, I got it.
[07:26] Nozomi
    I'll show you.
[07:30] Hime
    Um... Show me what?
[07:33] Nozomi
    I'll show you mine.
[07:35] Nozomi
    Me and Kyoko.
[07:37] Kyoko
    Me, too?!
[07:38] Kyoko
    I don't want to!
[07:40] Nozomi
    Why?
[07:41] Kyoko
    Why?!
[07:42] Nozomi
    We're her friends, right?
[07:43] Kyoko
    That has nothing to do with it!
[07:46] Nozomi
    Okay, Hime, you can look at mine,
[07:49] Nozomi
    and we'll check yours for you.
[07:51] Nozomi
    Then you can rest easy, right?
[08:10] Nozomi
    Your breath is tickling me...
[08:13] Hime
    It's prettier than a cow's.
[08:15] Kyoko
    Well, I'd hope so.
[08:16] Kyoko
    It's unused.
[08:18] Nozomi
    Hey!
[08:24] Nozomi
    Now...
[08:25] Nozomi
    You're next, Kyoko.
[08:30] Kyoko
    F-Forget it!
[08:32] Nozomi
    I don't think so!
[08:38] Nozomi
    Oh, it's hairier than I expected.
[08:42] Kyoko
    Stop looking!
[08:47] Nozomi
    Sorry... But now we're even.
[08:52] Nozomi
    And now...
[08:54] Nozomi
    It's finally Hime's turn.
[09:02] Nozomi
    Now, then!
[09:07] Nozomi
    Sorry... How do you get this off?
[09:15] Nozomi
    Oh, you've come back to life.
[09:20] Nozomi
    It's pretty!
[09:21] Kyoko
    Sort of... youthful.
[09:25] Hime
    Okay, isn't that long enough?
[09:28] Nozomi
    Hime, you can't see it yourself, right?
[09:31] Nozomi
    So I'll take a picture.
[09:33] Nozomi
    Say cheese—
[09:34] Hime
    Don't! I'll take your word for it!
[09:46] Hime
    Hey!
[09:47] Nozomi
    You're totally okay.
[09:49] Nozomi
    Feel better now?
[09:53] Hime
    Yeah.
[09:55] Nozomi
    Huh?
[09:57] Nozomi
    Come on, Kyoko...
[10:00] Nozomi
    I'm sorry, okay?
[10:01] Nozomi
    But Hime feels better now,
[10:03] Nozomi
    so what's the problem?
     It didn't hurt anything.
[10:07] Nozomi
    Come on, don't make that face!

[11:03] Hime
    I'm sorry!
[11:05] Nozomi
    Huh?!
[11:06] Kyoko
    Again?!
[11:07] Nozomi
    Hime!
[11:08] Kyoko
    Wait!
[11:11] Voice
    The doors are now closing.
[11:19] Nozomi
    Why'd you turn him down?
[11:21] Kyoko
    And why'd you run away again?
[11:23] Hime
    Because...
[11:29] Hime
    His letter said stuff like,
    "Your breasts are so big and beautiful."
[11:36] Nozomi
    So it comes down to that, huh?
[11:37] Kyoko
    That's all boys think about.
SIGN    Why Are We So Bewildered When We Receive a Love Letter?
[11:51] Kyoko
    So the product here is...
[11:57] Kyoko
    And that one is...
[12:00] Nozomi
    I just don't get it!
[12:02] Kyoko
    Come on, Nozomi!
[12:03] Kyoko
    It hasn't even been half an hour!
[12:07] Kyoko
    Hey! Don't start reading manga!
[12:10] Kyoko
    Come on, Nozomi!
[12:19] Kyoko
    Listen...
[12:21] Kyoko
    Do you understand why we're having
    a study party on a Sunday?
SIGN    The following students will take supplementary lessons and a make-up test
[12:26] Kyoko
    You're in trouble if you get another
    failing score on your next test.

[12:32] Nozomi
    Yeah, but still...
[12:34] Hime
    That tickles!
[12:36] Nozomi
    I can't memorize all these formulas!
SIGN    I don't get why it works out like this!
[12:39] Kyoko
    Just thinking about it
    like that is a problem.
[12:43] Kyoko
    This is still math, you know.
[12:45] Kyoko
    It's not a bunch of puzzles.
    Memorizing formulas is all you can do.
[12:49] Kyoko
    There's a right way to think about it,
     so you need to understand that.
[12:53] Kyoko
    That way, even if you forget the formula,
     you can find the answer.
[12:59] Nozomi
    Look, my whole problem is
    that I can't do that!
[13:03] Kyoko
    I'm trying to help because
    you're in dire straits here.
[13:08] Kyoko
    Hime, put her in a pinion
    hold, so she can't run!
[13:11] Hime
    R-Right!
[13:13] Hime
    Is this how you do a pinion hold?
[13:15] Nozomi
    No, it's not!
[13:16] Kyoko
    It doesn't matter!
[13:19] Kyoko
    Are you ready?!
[13:21] Nozomi
    Sure...
[13:23] Kyoko
    I'm about to drill math,
    English, science, physics,
[13:26] Kyoko
    and classic literature into your bones!
[13:38] Hime
    Nozomi-chan, open up.
[13:43] Hime
    Like it?
[13:44] Nozomi
    It's sweet...
[13:46] Kyoko
    Keep that sugar level up.
[13:48] Kyoko
    The brain uses more energy than
    any other organ, after all.
SIGN    Study Party
[13:52] Kyoko
    You'll never be ready for the test
    in time at this pace, though...
[13:56] Nozomi
    Are you a demon?!
[13:58] Nozomi
    Just so you know, that chocolate
    you're eating is mine!
[14:02] Kyoko
    You got it from a kid at
    the dojo, didn't you?
[14:05] Nozomi
    Something wrong with that?!
[14:06] Kyoko
    Nope. It's delicious.
[14:08] Kyoko
    Okay, now that we've replenished our nutrients,
     it's time for round two.
[14:17] Nozomi
    That's enough already.
[14:19] Nozomi
    It's not like I'll ever use math if I don't
    want to be a doctor or something.
[14:24] Kyoko
    You might have to.
[14:26] Nozomi
    Aren't there more important
    things I'll need?
[14:31] Kyoko
    Important things? You mean like
    using Hime's legs as a pillow?
[14:38] Kyoko
    Don't sulk!
[14:39] Kyoko
    Listen. People say it's useless if
    all you're good at is studying,
[14:43] Kyoko
    but being able to study at a
    school level is expected.
[14:46] Kyoko
    It just means you need to be able
    to go a step further, too.
[14:49] Kyoko
    Or so my father said.
[14:52] Hime
    That's pretty tough...
[14:54] Kyoko
    Well, in all honesty,
     I don't get it, either.
[14:57] Kyoko
    But being able to do it beats
    not being able to, right?
[15:00] Nozomi
    My dad said
[15:02] Nozomi
    all you need is good looks
    and a smooth tongue.
[15:04] Hime
    Wait, doesn't your dad practice karate?
[15:07] Kyoko
    So you'd better study, then.
[15:10] Kyoko
    Your tongue's as sharp as they come.
[15:14] Hime
    She's sulking again.
[15:16] Kyoko
    There's no helping this girl...
[15:23] Hime
    You know, Nozomi-chan...
[15:26] Hime
    Aren't you worried that you
    might flunk out at this rate?
[15:30] Hime
    If that happens,
    we'll be in different grades.

[15:33] Hime
    I'd hate it if we couldn't
    hang out with you anymore.
[15:37] Hime
    I want to go on field trips
    and stuff with you.
[15:41] Hime
    They'd be lonely without you around.
[15:46] Nozomi
    I guess I have no choice, then. I'll do it!
[15:49] Kyoko
    This is for your sake, you know.
[15:59] Hime
    Hang in there, Nozomi-chan!
[16:00] Kyoko
    Snap to it!
[16:18] Nozomi
    L-Look!
[16:22] Kyoko
    What?
[16:23] Nozomi
    Uh... There was a UFO...
[16:27] Kyoko
    Look, Nozomi...
[16:28] Nozomi
    It's true!
[16:30] Kyoko
    I'm sure it was something else you saw.
[16:32] Nozomi
    No, seriously! It was in plain sight!
[16:37] Hime
    Kyo-chan, if UFOs really exist,
    what do you think they are?
[16:41] Kyoko
    People say they're alien ships,
[16:43] Kyoko
    survivors of the Third Reich,
[16:45] Kyoko
    or vehicles used by
    Antarctican snake people,
[16:49] Kyoko
    but I don't know...
[16:51] Kyoko
    If they're secret weapons,
[16:52] Kyoko
    their development would demand
    vast facilities, personnel, and money,
[16:56] Kyoko
    so it couldn't be some
    refugee organization.
[16:59] Kyoko
    If it were aliens, surely they'd
    have made contact with us by now.
[17:03] Hime
    Then what about the Antarcticans?
[17:06] Kyoko
    I'm not sure...
[17:09] Kyoko
    Nothing is known about the
    level of their technology,
[17:11] Kyoko
    so I think everyone has their
    illusions about them.
[17:14] Kyoko
    I mean, they look like reptiles,
    but they live in Antarctica.
[17:18] Kyoko
    I do believe they have technology that
    the rest of us don't know about.
[17:22] Kyoko
    Still, if they had the immense chemical
    technology needed to build UFOs,
[17:26] Kyoko
    they probably wouldn't be
    at odds with America.
[17:29] Kyoko
    Did you know this?
[17:31] Kyoko
    When snake people go to other lands,
[17:33] Kyoko
    they travel in a craft chartered
    by the Aztec Nations.
[17:36] Hime
    Wow... Don't they have
    airplanes or anything?
[17:40] Hime
    Oh! Didn't the Aztecs have
    some kind of snake deity?
[17:45] Kyoko
    Right, Quetzalcoatl.
[17:47] Kyoko
    They say he drove away invaders,
[17:50] Kyoko
    but apparently, he really only
    served as a symbol of unity.
[17:54] Kyoko
    Probably didn't have
    super scientific power.
[18:01] Hime
    Here, drink this.
[18:04] Hime
    Let's take a breather and then
    get back to concentrating.
[18:09] Nozomi
    You don't believe me either, do you?
[18:11] Hime
    Well, I didn't see it, so...
[18:14] Hime
    But aliens do exist!
[18:18] Nozomi
    That's not really the point, though...
[18:22] Kyoko
    Okay, next up is potential energy.
[18:26] Nozomi
    Sure, sure.
[18:36] Hime
    What's wrong, Nozomi-chan?
    You keep looking at the sky.
[18:40] Nozomi
    I dunno...
[18:42] Kyoko
    Looking for a UFO?
[18:44] Hime
    See any?
[18:45] Nozomi
    Nope.
[18:46] Hime
    Sure is a nice day.
[18:48] Nozomi
    Yeah.
[18:49] Voice
    Furukanata. Furukanata.
[18:53] Kyoko
    Oh, we're here.
[18:55] Nozomi
    Isn't anything exciting ever gonna happen?
[18:58] Kyoko
    Nozomi, stop looking up while you walk.
    It's dangerous.
[19:05] Kyoko
    Really? Jeez, be more careful.
[19:13] Kyoko
    You know, I think...
[19:15] Kyoko
    today just might turn out
    to be a little unusual.
[19:18] Hime
    What makes you say that?
[19:20] Kyoko
    Keep your head still,
[19:21] Kyoko
    and check out who's walking
    around other than students.
[19:35] Kyoko
    Notice the swelling on his chest?
[19:37] Kyoko
    He's a public safety official
    in street clothes.
[19:39] Hime
    Huh? It is?
[19:41] Kyoko
    Not so loud!
[19:44] Kyoko
    Stop glancing around!
[19:46] Hime
    But why...
[19:48] Kyoko
    Is that minister in town again?
[19:51] Kyoko
    The alumnus from our school?
[19:52] Nozomi
    Wasn't he just forced to resign
    because of a verbal slip?
[19:56] Kyoko
    Maybe it's radical terrorism!
SIGN    Hitachi Electric
[19:59] Kyoko
    Security's awfully tight though,
     even for that.
[20:03] Nozomi
    It couldn't be a UFO, surely...
[20:14] Nozomi
    Oh, Shigetoki-niichan!
[20:17] Shige
    Milady?
[20:19] Nozomi
    Hey, what's going on?
[20:23] Nozomi
    Come on, don't be stingy!
[20:27] Shige
    You'll find out soon.
[20:31] Akechi
    Did you see those people outside?
[20:34] Kei
    Yeah!
[20:35] Inukai
    I wonder what they're here for...
[20:39] Hime
    Huh?
[20:40] Nozomi
    A new desk...
[20:43] Hime
    Is a new student transferring in?
[20:45] Kyoko
    It might have something to do
    with the security out front.
[20:48] Kyoko
    You don't suppose it's royalty?
[20:50] Kyoko
    Maybe not...
[20:52] Nozomi
    Well, there's no question that
    some VIP kid is coming here...
[20:56] Kyoko
    But this is just an ordinary
    public high school.
[20:59] Nozomi
