[00:04] Raido
    Ready to eat, Aharen-san?
[00:12] Raido
    Aharen-san, did you...
[00:15] Raido
    forget your lunch?
[00:21] Raido
    Are you okay, Aharen-san?!
[00:24] Aharen
    I made it, but left it at home...
[00:27] Raido
    That's a shame.
[00:30] Aharen
    I'm going to the school store.
    Wait for me.
[00:35] Raido
    The school store?
[00:36] Raido
    You can't, Aharen-san!
[00:38] Raido
    The school store...
[00:40] Raido
    It's a den of brutality!
[00:42] Raido
    A place of pure pandemonium where
    the frenzied scrap over every last morsel!
[00:46] Raido
    It's too dangerous to brave!
[00:49] Raido
    I can't let Aharen-san face it alone!
[02:23] sign
    School Store
[02:25] Boy A
    Ma'am, I need a rice ball!
SIGN    Episode Seven A Work of Art, Isn't It?
[02:27] Boy B
    The yakiniku lunch!
[02:27] Boy C
    Fried chicken!
[02:28] Girl A
    Buns, buns, buns!
[02:30] Raido
    It's as crowded as I figured...
[02:33] Aharen
    I'm gonna go ahead.
[02:34] Raido
    Huh? Are you sure?
[02:39] Raido
    Maybe Aharen-san can see it somehow...
[02:42] Raido
    A shining road available
    to only her, with her tiny body,
[02:47] Raido
    between all those people!
[02:51] Raido
    You okay, Aharen-san?
[02:53] Raido
    So much for that idea.
[02:55] Raido
    Let's wait until the crowd thins out.
[02:58] Aharen
    The lunches... are gonna sell out...
[03:01] Raido
    It's true they'll run out
    of lunches at this rate,
[03:05] Raido
    leaving only buns behind.
[03:07] Raido
    Aharen-san needs rice for fuel.
[03:11] Raido
    And there's only one way
    she can clear this mob.
[03:15] Raido
    Aharen-san...
[03:17] Raido
    Let's do it.
[03:23] Raido
    You holding on tight?
[03:25] Raido
    Then here we go.
[03:27] Raido
    Excuse me. Let us through, please.
[03:30] Raido
    There. Okay, Aharen-san,
    go ahead and order.
[03:34] Boy D
    Ma'am, I need one of these!
[03:36] Boy E
    I'll take a bun!
[03:37] Girl B
    A seaweed lunch here, please!
[03:39] Raido
    No one can hear her order, huh?
[03:41] Raido
    There's no way around it.
    Let's pull back and rethink this.
[03:43] Boy F
    I'll take a yakisoba roll!
[03:45] Boy G
    A cutlet sandwich for me!
[03:52] Raido
    I got pushed out!
[03:54] Raido
    Aharen-san!
[03:57] Raido
    Is that...
[03:58] Raido
    Could it be?!
[04:00] Raido
    She's crowd surfing!
[04:01] Raido
    Like at concerts where
    you slide across a mass of people!
[04:05] Lunch Lady
    Okay, what can I get you?
[04:11] Raido
    Aharen-san...
[04:15] Raido
    Whoa!
[04:16] Raido
    How'd it go? Did you get something?
[04:18] Aharen
    The lunches were sold out already.
[04:21] Aharen
    All I could get was this melon bun.
[04:24] Raido
    I see. That's too bad.
[04:26] Raido
    Will that be enough for you?
[04:28] Aharen
    S'okay...
[04:30] Raido
    Doesn't seem that way to me at all.
[04:33] Shirorin
    Shirorin!
[04:34] Raido
    It's come to this, Aharen-san.
[04:36] Raido
    Here.
[04:37] Aharen
    What?
[04:39] Raido
    Let's trade. My lunch for that melon bun.
[04:42] Aharen
    But then you won't have enough to eat.
[04:46] Raido
    It's okay. I'm not that hungry.
[04:49] Raido
    And you're always sharing your lunch with me.
    Think of it as returning the favor.
[04:55] Raido
    I appreciate it.
[04:59] Aharen
    Thank you.
[05:01] Aharen
    Then let's trade.
[05:04] Raido
    Okay, let's head to the roof.
[05:07] Raido
    Let's take a shortcut using the walkway...
[05:14] Raido
    No way! How?!
[05:16] Raido
    Why is the beast from
    Aharen-san's house at school?!
[05:22] Aharen
    He delivered my lunch.
[05:25] Raido
    H-He did? Good for you.
[05:31] Aharen
    Thanks, Nui. Run on home.
[05:35] Raido
    That dog is pretty smart, huh?
[05:40] Aharen
    I've got lunch now,
    but is it okay if we still trade?
[05:47] Raido
    Of course it is.
[05:50] Sign
    Melon Bun
[05:53] Aharen
    Thank you for the meal.
[05:56] Raido
    I know this is belated...
[05:58] Raido
    But Aharen-san's lunches
    sure are big, aren't they?
[06:06] Raido
    I am totally stuffed.
[06:09] Ishikawa
    Hey, Raido.
[06:10] Raido
    Ishikawa?
[06:11] Ishikawa
    What's wrong? You got an upset stomach?
[06:14] Raido
    No, not exactly.
[06:15] Ishikawa
    There's still time before class.
[06:17] Ishikawa
    Care to join us?
[06:20] Ishikawa
    Sato-san had playing cards with her.
[06:24] Sato
    It's more fun with a group anyway.
[06:27] Raido
    Let's play old maid, then.
[06:29] Ishikawa
    Sounds good!
[06:30] Raido
    I'll deal the cards out.
[06:32] Ishikawa
    Oh, thanks.
[06:35] Raido
    Sorry, gang, but I'm pretty confident
    when it comes to old maid.
[06:40] Raido
    It might look like a game of luck
    or negotiation at first,
[06:43] Raido
    but there's a a surefire
    strategy to winning.
[06:46] Raido
    And the bottom line is...
[06:48] Raido
    you were all under my spell
    before I even started dealing!
[06:54] Raido
    It's said that if you end up
    with an even number of cards left,
[06:59] Raido
    you're twice as likely
    to win a round in old maid.
[07:02] Sign
    Even
[07:02] Raido
    The reason being, if you have
    an even number of cards,
[07:06] Sign
    Two different cards
    to pair with
[07:06] Raido
    you have two chances to make a pair.
[07:08] Sign
    Odd
[07:09] Raido
    Whereas with an odd hand,
    you only have the one.
[07:10] Raido
    Only one card
     to pair with
[07:14] Raido
    Three of us will get thirteen cards,
[07:16] Raido
    and one of us fourteen.
[07:18] Raido
    Since fewer to start is better,
    I'll make sure I get thirteen.
[07:22] Sign
    The First Key to Victory
[07:22] Raido
    The first key to victory!
[07:24] Raido
    I casually suggest...
[07:26] Raido
    Okay, since I dealt the cards,
[07:28] Raido
    why don't you go first
    and draw from me, Sato-san?
[07:33] Raido
    I have someone else draw first,
    ensuring I have an even number of cards.
[07:37] Raido
    Good! It worked perfectly.
[07:39] Raido
    Now the stage is set. Let the game begin!
[07:44] Aharen
    I'm out.
[07:46] Sato
    Wow!
[07:48] Ishikawa
    You're out already?
[07:52] Raido
    Old maid's a game of luck, huh?
[07:55] Ishikawa
    And I'm out!
[07:56] Sato
    Me, too!
[08:00] Raido
    Still, there's more than one way to win...
[08:03] Raido
    Okay, let's start the next round.
[08:05] Raido
    You can't depend on luck.
[08:07] Raido
    The second key to victory!
[08:07] Sign
    The Second Key to Victory
[08:10] Raido
    I draw the card Aharen-san picks.
[08:14] Raido
    If it doesn't make a pair for her,
[08:17] Raido
    it has to for either me or Sato-san.
[08:21] Raido
    Here we go!
[08:31] Raido
    She got the old maid, huh?
[08:33] Raido
    Aharen-san usually has a poker face,
[08:36] Raido
    but at times like this, she's easy to read.
[08:39] Raido
    Let's avoid the obvious bait
    and choose another card...
[08:44] Raido
    Wait, no! Think about this carefully.
[08:47] Raido
    Aharen-san is constantly
    getting the better of me.

     LOSES

[08:51] Raido
    This could be a trap of hers,
    anticipating my next move!
[08:55] Raido
    That was a close one.
[08:58] Raido
    But I'm one step ahead of you!
[09:06] Raido
    She was able to anticipate
    what I anticipated.
[09:09] Raido
    But having the old maid at this point
    actually works out for me.
[09:12] Raido
    The third key to victory!
[09:12] Sign
    The Third Key to Victory
[09:15] Raido
    Hang on to the old maid
    while everyone still has a lot of cards,
[09:19] Raido
    then pass it on in the latter
    half of the game when they're scarce.
[09:20] Ishikawa
    This one!
[09:23] Raido
    That way, it'll stay in the hands
    of the other players
[09:24] Sign
    Old Maid
[09:26] Raido
    while it works it way back to me,
[09:27] Sign
    Old Maid
[09:28] Sign
    Old Maid
[09:29] Sign
    Old Maid
[09:29] Raido
    providing me with
    a protracted period of safety.
[09:31] Raido
    You can control the cards people pick, too.
[09:35] Raido
    Humans have a tendency to choose
[09:36] Raido
    from the side opposite
    their dominant hand in tense moments.
[09:38] Sato
    Which one...?
[09:41] Sato
    Maybe this one?
[09:41] Raido
    Good. I'll hold it until later in the game
[09:44] Raido
    before sending it into circulation.
[09:55] Raido
    All right! Now's the time!
[09:56] Raido
    Go forth, joker!
[10:03] Sato
    Yay! I'm out.
[10:08] Ishikawa
    So am I!
[10:10] Raido
    I should thank the gods
    for this opportunity!
[10:13] Raido
    This is the perfect one-on-one
    duel against Aharen-san!
[10:19] Raido
    The fourth key to victory: observation!
[10:19] Sign
    The Fourth Key to Victory
[10:22] Raido
    It's said that there's no better
    psychological indicator than the eyes.
[10:35] Raido
    There it is!
[10:36] Raido
    This one!
[10:38] Raido
    I did it.
[10:40] Raido
    I won!
[10:50] Ishikawa
    Aharen-san wins!
[10:53] Sato
    Congratulations!
[10:55] Raido
    Aharen-san... I...
[10:59] Raido
    I don't know if I can ever trust you again!
[11:03] Raido
    How could this be? I saw you look away...
[11:08] Aharen
    I got embarrassed that you
    were staring at me...
[11:12] Raido
    Oh, is that it? Sorry about that.
[11:23] Raido
    Yet again, I couldn't beat her...
[11:28] Raido
    All when she's so willing to get close to me!
[11:34] Math Teacher
    And because of that,
[11:35] Math Teacher
     we end up with this.
[11:38] Math Teacher
     This formula will be on the test,
    so make sure to note it down.
[11:40] Raido
    That's one opulent sleeping position.
[11:44] Teacher
    Okay, that'll do for today.
[11:46] Ishikawa
    We've got class in another room next, right?
[11:49] Raido
    Yeah.
[11:52] Raido
    Aharen-san, we need to switch classrooms.
[12:00] Raido
    You awake?
[12:02] Raido
    We've got science next.
    Let's get ready and head out.
[12:12] Raido
    Aharen-san's not moving.
[12:14] Raido
    But why?
[12:16] Raido
    I understand, though, Aharen-san.
[12:20] Raido
    This is a sensitive age.
[12:21] Raido
    Kids in middle and high school often
[12:23] Raido
    feel the desire to skip class
    for no particular reason.
[12:27] Raido
    And look at Aharen-san's mute objection.
    Not moving. Not saying a word.
[12:32] Raido
    Her silence speaks volumes.
[12:34] Raido
    She doesn't rush into
    destruction or misconduct...
[12:36] Raido
    She's so strong and proud.
[12:39] Aharen
    I was...
[12:42] Aharen
    I was asleep in the same
    position for so long...
[12:45] Aharen
    Now I'm numb and can't move.
[12:51] Raido
    Yeah, that makes sense. I knew it.
[12:54] Raido
    You're just feeling numb.
[12:56] Raido
    What do we do about this?
[12:58] Raido
    Okay!
[13:02] Raido
    Let's head to the science lab like this.
[13:04] Aharen
    Thanks.
[13:06] Shirorin
    Shirorin!
[13:09] Raido
    How about now? Do you have feeling back?
[13:11] Aharen
    I do.
[13:13] Raido
    Good. That takes care of that.
[13:17] Science Teacher
    All right, that's it for today.
[13:20] Raido
    Let's get going, Aharen-san...
[13:24] Raido
    Aharen-san, class is over.
[13:29] Aharen
    I'm numb all over again.
[13:31] Raido
    Yeah, that makes sense.
[13:34] Raido
    If she keeps falling asleep like this,
[13:37] Raido
    she might never be able to leave school!
[13:41] Raido
    Calm down! Always jumping to logical
    extremes is a bad habit of mine.
[13:47] Raido
    But I have to anticipate
    a variety of scenarios
[13:50] Raido
    or I won't know what to do
    if something unexpected happens.
[13:53] Raido
    Still...
[13:54] Raido
    would I really be able to carry her
    on my back for the rest of my life?
[14:03] Raido
    Aharen-san.
[14:05] Raido
    Why are you so tired today?
[14:13] Aharen
    I was up late thinking about what
    kind of sides you'd want with lunch.
[14:19] Raido
    For me?!
[14:21] Aharen
    You didn't finish everything yesterday.
[14:24] Raido
    You got it wrong. It was all really good.
[14:27] Raido
    There was just more than
    I had room for in my stomach.
[14:31] Raido
    But I've made up my mind, Aharen-san.
[14:34] Raido
    I'm willing to carry you
    for the rest of my...
[14:37] Raido
    Oh, you're feeling better?
[14:40] Raido
    Good. That's great.
[14:46] Futaba
    Tomorrow is finally the field trip!
[14:49] Futaba
    I'm gonna feed Akkun a homemade lunch
    and get my hands on his stomach!
[14:55] Futaba
    I made a test run today,
    so I better try it out!
[15:01] Aharen
    Sorry, I forgot today was a half day.
[15:05] Raido
    That's okay.
[15:06] Raido
    I think it's really nice you made lunch.
[15:08] Raido
    And it's nice to eat in the park
     once in a while.
[15:11] Futaba
    I can't believe her!
[15:13] Futaba
    She handmade lunch
    so she could snare Akkun, too!
[15:18] Futaba
    Not on my watch!
[15:20] Futaba
    Aharen Reina!
[15:22] Aharen
    Futaba-chan?
[15:24] Futaba
    I challenge you to a lunch duel!
[15:27] Raido
    That's probably a bad idea.
[15:29] Raido
    Sorry. Never mind.
[15:31] Futaba
    You made Akkun lunch, too, didn't you?
[15:35] Futaba
    Well, mine is obviously
    way better than yours!
[15:39] Raido
    Wow, you made that by yourself?
[15:41] Futaba
    Go ahead and try it!
[15:52] Raido
    That's interesting... I've never had
    rolled egg with so many flavors.
[15:56] Raido
    It's sweet... salty... acidic... bitter...
[15:56] Futaba
    How do you like that?
    I put my own special twist on it!
[16:01] Futaba
    I'm gonna try yours now.
[16:03] Futaba
    There's no way it's as good as mine, though.
[16:10] Futaba
    It's so tasty...
[16:14] Futaba
    A-Anyone can make nice rolled egg, though.
[16:18] Futaba
    Let's try these meatballs next.
[16:22] Futaba
    You can tell they're handmade
    because they're so uneven.
[16:25] Futaba
    There's no way this is...
[16:30] Futaba
    So good! It's right up my alley!
[16:33] Futaba
    I hate to admit it,
    but she really is a good cook!
[16:37] Futaba
    Compared to hers, my lunch tastes
    kinda funny and looks weird...
[16:43] Futaba
    A-Aharen Reina.
[16:46] Futaba
    Um, would you...
    teach me how to cook, please?
[16:53] Futaba
    Quit acting so surprised!
[16:55] Futaba
    I know to be polite when asking
    for something, okay?!
[16:59] Futaba
    I wanna be able to make
    a lunch like yours, so...
[17:06] Shirorin
    Shirorin!
[17:10] Raido
    Good thing they let us
    borrow the home ec room.
[17:13] Raido
    They even said we could
    use leftover ingredients.
[17:16] Aharen
    Well, let's wash our hands and get cooking.
[17:19] Futaba
    O-Okay.
[17:23] Futaba
    It's done!
[17:25] Futaba
    I did it myself...
[17:32] Futaba
    It's tasty!
[17:34] Aharen
    You did a good job, Futaba-chan.
[17:37] Aharen
    I'm sure he'll like it.
[17:41] Futaba
    I-I know that! You don't have to
    spell it out for me!
[17:45] Futaba
    Aharen Reina...
[17:47] Futaba
    For today, um...
[17:50] Futaba
    R-Really...
[17:53] Futaba
    Really, how could you be so stupid?!
    I totally tricked you!
[17:57] Futaba
    Now I'm a better cook than you!
[18:00] Futaba
    How naive do you have to be
    to help your enemy like this?
[18:03] Futaba
    Well, see you!
[18:08] Raido
    She's a tough little cookie.
[18:13] Futaba
    I didn't say thank you again...
[18:26] Art Teacher
    Choose whatever subject you'd like.
[18:28] Art Teacher
    The deadline is the end of next week.
[18:30] Art Teacher
    You're free to use any tools
    or materials in the art room.
[18:32] Students
    Okay.
[18:33] Ishikawa
    Having that freedom
    makes it harder to decide, weirdly...
[18:36] Sato
    I know what you mean.
[18:39] Raido
    Are you undecided, too, Aharen-san?
[18:42] Raido
    Let's think of something together, then.
[18:44] Ishikawa
    Maybe something like a landscape drawing?
[18:46] Raido
    A landscape...
[18:48] Raido
    Those are popular. Could be a good idea.
[18:54] Raido
    The trick is to give them depth
[18:55] Raido
    and create the right sense
    of scale between objects.
[18:59] Raido
    Landscapes are hard, huh?
[19:01] Futaba
    What do you two think you're doing?!
[19:04] Aharen
    Futaba-chan.
[19:06] Raido
    How'd the lunch go?
[19:07] Futaba
    It didn't go anywhere!
[19:10] Futaba
    Aharen Reina!
[19:12] Futaba
    How dare you... How dare you...
[19:15] Futaba
    How dare you poison that lunch?!
[19:20] Raido
    Poison?
[19:21] Futaba
    Akkun got an upset tummy because of it!
[19:25] Raido
    Wait, did you take the lunch
    we made that day?
[19:30] Futaba
    I-Is that a problem?
[19:32] Raido
    A big one!
[19:33] Raido
    You need to make lunch fresh
     that morning or it'll spoil.
[19:40] Raido
    I think portraits are more up our alley.
[19:42] Raido
    The first big step is to properly
    observe your model.
[19:52] Raido
    Uh...
[19:53] Raido
    I think this might be
    a little too much observation.
[19:57] Raido
    You'll be my model next, Aharen-san.
[20:04] Raido
    Um, models are supposed to sit still.
[20:07] Aharen
    It's embarrassing to be watched...
[20:10] Raido
    I see. Sorry. Let's try something else.
[20:15] Raido
    Clay is one of the most fundamental
    mediums for three-dimensional art.
[20:18] Raido
    The important thing is
    to create a sense of volume.
[20:22] Raido
    Maybe I can sculpt my sister...
[20:24] Raido
    There. All done.
[20:29] Raido
    Clay's tricky, huh?
[20:32] Raido
    What about you, Aharen-san?
[20:36] Raido
    How long's that gonna take to finish?
[20:38] Aharen
    About two months.
[20:40] Raido
    Way past the deadline, huh?
[20:48] Raido
    A self-portrait ended up working out best.
[20:50] Raido
    The deadline's today, but Aharen-san's
    been locked up in her studio
[20:54] Raido
    and hasn't come out...
[20:57] Raido
    Aharen-san, how's it going? Did you finish?
[21:01] Raido
    I don't see anything...
    What did you make, Aharen-san?
[21:06] Raido
    Aharen-san?
[21:08] Raido
    Are you okay?
[21:14] Raido
    Aharen-san?!
[21:15] Raido
    A-Are you asleep?
[21:18] Raido
    Pardon me...
[21:20] Raido
    She's not breathing!
    Her heart's not beating!

    Stay calm!
[21:29] Raido
    At times like this, the best thing
    to do is CPR while calling for help!
[21:32] Raido
    Somebody, help!
[21:35] Aharen
    What is it?
[21:36] Raido
    Perfect timing, Aharen-san!
    Aharen-san just fell!
[21:39] Raido
    Call a teacher! Get the AED!
[21:41] Raido
    And dial the emergency...
[21:45] Raido
    Huh?! There're two Aharen-sans?
[21:48] Aharen
    Oh, this?
[21:51] Aharen
    It's the doll I made.
[21:55] Raido
    She made a life-sized doll?
[21:59] Raido
    Kinda excessively realistic, huh?!
[23:35] Raido
    I'm glad you got a good grade
    with that thing.
[23:38] Raido
    It really is impressive.
[23:41] Aharen
    You can have it if you like it that much.
[23:43] Raido
    I couldn't possibly accept it.
[23:46] Raido
    Not after you made it yourself.
[23:54] Raido
    I'm not gonna be able to sleep, am I?
