**[00:02] Miyako**
It's so cold in this room.
**[00:05] Miyako**
Why don't you turn on the heater?
**[00:07] Itsuki**
It's been broken since this morning.
**[00:11] Itsuki**
It's let me down.
**[00:12] Miyako**
Are you getting it fixed?
**[00:13] Itsuki**
They're coming in three days.
**[00:15] ---**
For now, we're relying on the
powers of the great kotatsu,
**[00:19] ---**
but I can hardly work.
**[00:21] Nayuta**
Senpai!
***SIGN*** The Beach!!
**[00:23] Nayuta**
What about something like this?
**[00:28] Itsuki**
Of course! There's always this option!
**[00:30] Nayuta**
Yup!
**[00:31] Miyako**
The beach? Are you actually thinking
about going swimming in winter?
**[00:35] Nayuta**
This is a chapter where they go
to Okinawa for their school trip.
**[00:39] Miyako**
Huh?
**[00:41] Haruto**
*What's up, Itsuki?*
**[00:43] Itsuki**
Hey, Haruto.
**[00:44] ---**
I'm gonna take a little trip.
You wanna come, too?
**[00:47] Haruto**
*Huh? To where?*
**[00:49] Itsuki**
Okinawa.
**[00:50] Haruto**
*Huh?*
**[00:51] Itsuki**
Okinawa!
***SIGN*** A Sister Is All You Need.
**[02:34] Nayuta**
Meow!
**[02:35] Itsuki**
Currently, it's 17 degrees Celsius.
**[02:38] ---**
That's Okinawa for you.
You'd never know it's winter.
**[02:41] Miyako**
Is Okinawa somewhere you go just
because you feel a little cold?
**[02:47] Miyako**
More importantly, why did I come, too?
**[02:49] Nayuta**
It's your loss if you worry about
the little things, Myaa-san!
**[02:52] Itsuki**
Since it's the off-season, booking our
hotel and flight was a cinch, too.
**[02:56] Itsuki**
Haruto should've just skipped the script
meeting for his anime and come with us.
**[03:07] Haruto**
*Okinawa, huh? I'm jealous...*

**[03:20] Itsuki**
This beer is great! It pairs well
with the goya champloo, too.
**[03:24] Miyako**
Yeah! I couldn't even imagine what
hibiscus beer tasted like, but...
**[03:29] Miyako**
It's sweet, tart, and delicious.
**[03:32] Nayuta**
I wanna try it, too.
**[03:34] Miyako**
No. You can't drink alcohol
until you're twenty.
**[03:37] Itsuki**
That's right. Kids should
just stick to their juice.
**[03:42] Nayuta**
Is the fact that you don't
see me as a potential lover
**[03:45] ---**
also because I'm a child?
**[03:50] Itsuki**
I'm sorry, what?
I couldn't hear you very well.
**[03:53] Nayuta**
Isn't it hard to pretend you couldn't hear me
**[03:56] ---**
after you clearly reacted to it?
**[03:59] Itsuki**
Yeah, I have no idea what
you're talking about.
**[04:01] Nayuta**
Is the fact that you don't
see me as a potential lover
**[04:06] ---**
also because I'm a child?
**[04:09] Itsuki**
Sorry, did you say something?
**[04:11] ---**
I couldn't hear you because the
music in this place is so loud.
**[04:14] Nayuki**
I love you, Senpai.
**[04:17] Itsuki**
What was that about a dove?
**[04:18] Nayuta**
Please go out with me.
**[04:20] Itsuki**
And where would you like to go?
**[04:22] Nayuta**
Let's have sex.
**[04:23] Itsuki**
Honestly, I prefer the trumpet over the sax.
**[04:26] Nayuta**
A one-night ***** would be fine, too.
**[04:28] Itsuki**
Did you need a vase or a tub?
**[04:31] Nayuta**
That's a bit painful.
**[04:32] Itsuki**
The same could be said for your confession.
**[04:36] Nayuta**
Then how about something prettier, like,
**[04:37] Nayuta**
"My, doesn't the moon look lovely tonight"?
**[04:39] Itsuki**
Yeah.
**[04:40] Nayuta**
Huh? That was the line that Soseki
Natsume used to say "I love you"...
**[04:44] Itsuki**
I know. I knew what it meant
and purposely ignored it.
**[04:47] Nayuta**
And I love you because you're that way.
**[04:51] Itsuki**
What about Arabs?
**[04:54] Itsuki**
I'm getting tired of this, so could we stop?
**[04:57] Nayuta**
Then... let me have some alcohol.
**[05:01] Itsuki**
And I already told you. Here, have an egg.
**[05:11] Nayuta**
Lick, lick...
**[05:13] Itsuki**
How long are you going to lick that?
**[05:20] Nayuta**
Look at you, just sticking your
balls into a girl's face like that.
**[05:24] Nayuta**
We definitely need to do something
about that strange fetish of yours.
**[05:28] Itsuki**
Don't make it sound so dirty!
***SIGN*** Little Sister
**[05:37] Miyako**
Convenience stores in Okinawa
are so interesting.
**[05:39] Miyako**
They had so many varieties of alcohol that
you can't get in Tokyo, so I bought some.
**[05:43] Miyako**
Want some?
**[05:49] Itsuki**
Where's Kanikou?
**[05:50] Miyako**
She took a bath and immediately fell asleep.
**[05:57] Miyako**
How is that?
**[05:59] Itsuki**
Well, I guess it's good.
**[06:09] Miyako**
Say, Itsuki...
**[06:10] Itsuki**
Hm?
**[06:15] Miyako**
How do you feel about Nayu?
**[06:18] Itsuki**
She's a pervert.
**[06:19] Miyako**
That's not what I meant.
**[06:22] Miyako**
I mean, considering how often
she tells you that she loves you...
**[06:26] ---**
Don't you ever think about going out with her?
**[06:28] Itsuki**
What's there to think about?
**[06:30] ---**
I already turned her down once, ages ago.
**[06:35] Miyako**
Huh? You did?
**[06:37] ---**
When?
**[06:42] (Flashback) Itsuki**
To answer your question
from three days ago...
**[06:44] (Flashback) Itsuki**
I can't go out with you.
**[06:55] Itsuki**
And the day after I told her no,
**[06:57] ---**
she started visiting regularly,
which brings us to now.
**[07:01] Miyako**
Oh...
**[07:03] Itsuki**
What's with that look?
**[07:06] Miyako**
I just felt bad for thinking that you were
scum for stringing her along all this time.
**[07:12] Itsuki**
Is that what you thought of me?
**[07:16] Miyako**
So you don't have any feelings for Nayu?
**[07:19] Itsuki**
That's a silly question.
**[07:22] Itsuki**
It's worse because it's not like
I don't have feelings for her.
**[07:29] Miyako**
I see.
**[07:36] Itsuki**
Have you ever read any of
Kanikou's books, Miyako?
**[07:40] Miyako**
I haven't...
**[07:41] Itsuki**
If you have no plans to become
a novelist, you should read them.
**[07:45] Itsuki**
Your missing out if you haven't read them.
**[07:48] Itsuki**
If you have time to read my stuff,
read Nayuta Kani's books instead.
**[07:59] Miyako**
I guess you've got a lot going on, too...

but where else do you two want to go?
**[08:17] Itsuki**
A deserted island.
**[08:18] Miyako**
Huh?
**[08:19] Itsuki**
There's a part of my story where
they end up on a deserted island.
**[08:23] Itsuki**
If I can, I'd like to do
some research for that.
**[08:25] Miyako**
Well, there might be a remote
island with no one on it...
**[08:31] Miyako**
Pardon me.

**[09:27] Miyako**
I guess it's no surprise that
the water's actually cold.
**[09:29] Nayuta**
But since we're here, let's go swimming.
**[09:32] Miyako**
What are you talking about?
We don't even have swimsuits.
**[09:34] Nayuta**
We don't need any!
**[09:36] Nayuta**
No one else is around anyway.
**[09:38] Miyako**
W-Wait, what are you doing, Nayu?!
**[09:40] Miyako**
Itsuki, look the other way!
**[09:45] Nayuta**
Splash!
**[09:49] Miyako**
Hey! Put on some clothes!
**[09:52] Nayuta**
It's so cold...
**[09:53] Miyako**
Of course it is!
**[09:55] Nayuta**
But it's not that bad, actually.
Come on, hurry up and join me, Myaa-san.
**[09:58] Miyako**
Th-That's cold! You're getting me wet!
**[10:00] Nayuta**
Come on, you too, Senpai!
**[10:02] Itsuki**
Are you stupid?
**[10:14] Miyako**
I wonder if I'll ever be able to go
to a world that sparkles like that...
**[10:19] Nayuta**
Huh? What was that, Myaa-san?
**[10:22] Miyako**
Oh, it's nothing.
**[10:24] Miyako**
Itsuki, you'd better not move from there.
**[10:26] Miyako**
I'll break your collarbone if you peek.
**[10:28] Itsuki**
Like hell I would!
**[10:32] Miyako**
So cold...
**[10:35] Miyako**
What?
**[10:36] Nayuta**
I've noticed it before,
but your body is really toned.
**[10:42] Nayuta**
Did you play any sports?
**[10:47] Miyako**
I did karate from grade school until
my second year in middle school,
**[10:50] ---**
then I did some tennis and was on
the basketball team in high school.
**[10:53] Miyako**
I didn't take any of them seriously, though.
**[10:56] (Flashback) Friend A**
A girl who does karate will never be popular.
**[10:59] (Flashback) Miyako**
I don't really care about being popular.
**[11:01] (Flashback) Miyako**
Sensei told me I had a lot of potential.
**[11:04] (Flashback) Friend A**
Huh? Are you going to try
for the Olympics, then?
**[11:07] (Flashback) Miyako**
Not exactly...
**[11:09] (Flashback) Friend A**
Then join the tennis club with me!
**[11:12] (Flashback) Miyako**
Hm...
**[11:14] Miyako**
I wonder if I would've been able to make
**[11:17] ---**
something of myself if I
had continued karate...
**[11:20] Miyako**
Or would I have gotten
discouraged at some point
**[11:23] ---**
and ended up exactly where I am no—
**[11:25] Miyako**
That's cold!
**[11:27] Miyako**
Now you've done it!
**[11:30] Nayuta**
Take that!
**[11:31] ---**
Yah!
**[11:37] Miyako**
For crying out loud...
**[11:39] Miyako**
What am I even doing?
**[11:43] Itsuki**
"What are you even doing?"
would be my line...

Holy crap! You're amazing, Sensei!
**[12:55] Itsuki**
Yeah, I know, right?
**[12:58] Itsuki**
Though, when I showed it to my editor,
he rejected it immediately.
**[13:02] Setsuna**
But, Sensei, how's a fish supposed
to have sex with a human?
**[13:06] Setsuna**
I saw something about salmon
spawning on TV before,
**[13:09] Setsuna**
and they were spraying their
sperm all over the eggs.
**[13:12] Itsuki**
Sharks are fish, but the eggs are
fertilized in the female's body.
**[13:15] Itsuki**
They even have the organs for that.
**[13:17] Setsuna**
For real?! Sharks have d*cks?
**[13:20] Itsuki**
Yeah, so in the final scene where the
protagonist and the heroine get together,
**[13:24] Itsuki**
it'll be a super touching moment that
could only be brought to you by a shark.

Huh? Drawing what?
**[13:39] Setsuna**
How about something like this?
**[13:43] Itsuki**
This is...
**[13:44] Setsuna**
I want some salmon roe now.
**[13:46] Itsuki**
Huh? Salmon roe?
**[13:47] Setsuna**
We were just talking
about spawning, remember?
**[13:50] Setsuna**
So now I wanna eat some salmon roe.
**[13:52] Itsuki**
Then go eat some.

**[14:10] Setsuna**
The only place to eat salmon roe is Hokkaido!
**[14:13] Itsuki**
Then why are we eating at a ramen place?!
**[14:16] Setsuna**
Well, the ramen looked really good,
so I suddenly wanted to eat that.
**[14:21] Itsuki**
Well, whatever.
**[14:25] Itsuki**
The ramen is definitely good.
**[14:29] Itsuki**
All right. Well, we came
all the way to Hokkaido.
**[14:32] ---**
I might as well make the most of it.

**[14:49] Itsuki**
Just for the sake of asking,
you *do* know where the hotel is, right?
**[14:53] Setsuna**
No worries! It should be
in this direction, I think.

You think?!

I guess eating too much sea urchin

check out the Snow Festival, too.
**[16:28] Itsuki**
That's way too sudden!
**[16:29] Setsuna**
How about you, Sensei?
**[16:31] Itsuki**
No. It's cold, and there're too many people.
***SIGN*** Little Sister
**[16:36] Setsuna**
Well, Sensei, I'm gonna go cancel my flight.
**[16:40] Setsuna**
I'll come by your place again sometime soon.

Don't admit that so boldly, you idiot.

I'm concerned about that, but I'm
calling you about something else.

Oh?
**[16:59] Toki**
Do you have any idea where
Puriketsu-sensei is?
**[17:02] Itsuki**
Setsuna? I was just with him.
Did something happen?
**[17:06] Toki**
He still hasn't finished the illustration

**[17:09] ---**
We're going to be past the deadline soon.
**[17:11] Itsuki**
This month's? Seriously?

Sorry, Setsuna. Do your best to survive.
**[17:53] (Flashback) Setuna**
Sensei!
**[17:55] (Flashback) Setsuna**
Why won't you let me draw the
illustrations for your new series?!
**[17:59] (Flashback) Itsuki**
Because it's not worthy.
**[18:01] (Flashback) Setsuna**
Are you saying that my art
isn't worthy of your series?
**[18:05] (Flashback) Itsuki**
No, it's the opposite.
**[18:09] (Flashback) Setsuna**
The opposite?
**[18:14] (Flashback) Itsuki**
My series isn't worthy of your art.
**[18:18] (Flashback) Itsuki**
My novel comes in way behind your art.
**[18:21] (Flashback) Itsuki**
That's why, right now...
**[18:23] (Flashback) Itsuki**
I won't be able to partner up with you again.
**[18:29] (Flashback) Setsuna**

What is that?

This was caused by magic!

I'll be fine.

A little blizzard like this can't
rip apart our bond as siblings!
**[19:44] Itsuki**
That's definitely a very realistic
scene, if I do say so myself.
**[19:48] Itsuki**
I guess that means my trips to Okinawa
and Hokkaido were worthwhile after all.
**[19:53] Chihiro**
Going to Hokkaido just two days
after you went to Okinawa...
**[19:56] Chihiro**
Don't you think you're a bit
too free-spirited, Nii-san?
**[19:58] Itsuki**
Nah, this is normal for a novelist.
**[20:01] Chihiro**
Really?
**[20:17] Itsuki**
Let's dig in.
**[20:19] Chihiro**
Let's dig in.
**[20:25] Itsuki**
These spring rolls are delicious!
**[20:27] Chihiro**
I put both the chiraga that you got in Okinawa
**[20:30] ---**
and the crab you got in Hokkaido in them.
**[20:33] Itsuki**
I see. I guess that's one way to do it.
**[20:37] Itsuki**
The fat from the pork
**[20:39] ---**
and the juices from the crab mixed
together create a rich umami.
**[20:42] Itsuki**
The harmonious trio of texture
with the crispy wrapping,
**[20:44] ---**
the juicy, tender crab,
and the crunchy chiraga...
**[20:48] Itsuki**
It's a miraculous harmony of Japanese
delicacies from the north and the south.
**[20:52] Itsuki**
If I were to give it a name, it'd be, yes...
**[20:54] Itsuki**
