[05:50] M     I'd wondered if perhaps your plan involved      the dog that lived behind the school, [05:54] M     but I couldn't bring myself to speak up. [05:57] M     A month after that, you transferred schools... [06:00] M     Just like the blue oni who went     far away to spare his friend, right? [06:05] M     No... I was the real oni.

[08:20] K     I'm not mad! [08:21] ---     It was my decision to do it! [08:23] K     And I only changed schools because     my dad got transferred at work! [08:26] K     So just stop this already!

[18:06] Sumiso     I'm sorry for coming over      without asking first. [18:09] Sumiso     Am I bothering you? [18:11] K     N-Not at all! [18:14] K     Thanks for coming. [18:17] Sumiso     That kitty's so cute! [18:19] K     Oh, yeah, that's... [18:21] K     I've had it since I was a kid. [18:24] K     Weird, right? [18:25] K     I'm in high school now... [18:26] Sumiso     Widdlekins, the little black kitty, [18:30] Sumiso     goes meow, meow, meow in my lap... [18:35] Sumiso     Do you know that song? [18:37] Sumiso     It's from a children's show. [18:40] ---     My class is going to sing it     and do a dance at the festival. [18:44] K     R-Really?! [18:45] Sumiso     We'll be wearing cat ears and everything. [18:47] K     Cat ears?! Sumiso-san in cat ears! [18:48] Sumiso     Kind of embarrassing, huh? [18:50] Sumiso     Will you come see us? [18:52] K     Yes! I will! [18:54] Sumiso     It was Tsukimiya-kun who     told me where you were. [18:59] Sumiso     I knew you were fighting something... [19:03] Sumiso     But he said you'd gotten kind of exhausted. [19:05] K     I-It's true that I'm fighting my     hardest not to yell at anyone... [19:09] Sumiso     I'm with you, Koyuki-kun! [19:12] ---     I want to be on your side! [19:16] K     Sumiso-san... [19:18] K     You're my sun! [19:22] Sumiso     A-Are you okay, Koyuki-kun? [19:24] K     I'm just great. [19:25] K     Thank you, Sumiso-san! [19:27] K     But I abandoned it all.

[19:42] H     A-Are you feeling better? [19:44] Sumiso     You know... [19:45] ---     Hanadori-kun says he's going to handle     all of the work you were supposed to do. [19:51] Sumiso     You really are comrades in arms, huh? [19:54] K     No, he's my sworn enemy. [19:56] Girl     You really were doing a lot, huh, Koyuki-kun? [19:59] Girl     Sorry. We didn't realize     how hard it was on you. [20:03] K     Everyone was helping him... [20:07] U     When I said to give it up, [20:08] ---     I meant to stop trying to take     things on all by yourself. [20:13] H     I didn't realize how hard it was for you     to bring the whole class together. [20:17] H     And I asked you to shoulder     the fate of the world, too. [20:20] H     Gestöber, I'm sorry. [20:21] K     Hanadori-kun... [20:23] H     From now on, let's make sure we focus [20:25] ---     on our school life as much as     we focus on saving the world! [20:28] K     No, that's not right. [20:29] K     So, did we decide what we're     doing for the culture festival? [20:32] Student     Who's the festival rep for this class again? [20:34] K     Oh... Here. [20:36] Student     The student council approved your proposal. [20:39] H     I see. [20:40] H     We'll go with that, then. [20:42] K     What about the cooking? [20:43] H     We're working to schedule     the inspections for the kitchen. [20:46] Student     Roger that. [20:46] ---     Glad to hear you're on top of it. [20:48] Student     Hanadori, will this work     for the budget allocation? [20:50] H     We should assume the     kitchen team will need more. [20:53] H     Let's keep some money in reserve     in case something comes up. [20:56] Student     Got it. [20:57] H     Oh, right. [20:59] H     I took notes for you while you were gone. [21:01] H     They're yours if you need them. [21:03] Other Teacher     Hanadori, you did a great job     with all that extra work. [21:08] H     But of course! [21:09] ---     I was filling in for Gestöber! [21:11] H     G-Gestöber... [21:13] ---     I may not be as smart as you,      but let's both— [21:15] K     Are you messing with me?! [21:17] K     This is the problem! [21:18] ---     The fact that you're like this     is what makes you so difficult! [21:22] M     No! if you're going to hit someone, hit me!

[21:30] U     It's so much nicer when Seri-kun's around     to keep all these masochists in line! [21:35] K     Don't you dare sum up my role that way! SIGN    Japanese-style café [21:39] H     We took everyone's opinions     into consideration and decided [21:42] ---     on two things: a Japanese-style     café and a documentary entitled [21:45] ---     "The Trial of Gestöber and the      Dark Past of Sturmhut the Ninja." [21:48] K     Just no! [21:51] K     Why is everyone laughing?! [21:53] K     Why is everyone picking on me?! [21:56] U     You brought everyone together, Seri-kun! [21:59] K     I wish I hadn't!
