***SIGN*** Seirei Academy
**[00:03] Girl1**
Morning.
**[00:04] Girl2**
Morning!
**[00:08] Girl1**
Who is that? She's so pretty!
**[00:10] Boy3**
Check it out.
**[00:11] Boy4**
What? Whoa, it's Kujo-san.
**[00:14] Boy4**
Today's gonna be a good day.
***SIGN*** Alisa Mikhailovna Kujo. Born to a Russian father.
Her grades are top of the school. She's also excellent at sports. Starting this year, she serves as the student council treasurer.
**[00:21] Somegirl**
She's so dreamy.
**[00:25] Ando**
Heya.
**[00:27] Ando**
Morning, Kujo-san. And what
a pleasant morning it is, wouldn't you say?
**[00:31] Alya**
Good morning.
**[00:34] Ando**
It's our first time talking, I think?
**[00:36] Ando**
I'm Ando, a second-year.
**[00:38] Ando**
Your sister has told me lots about you,
**[00:41] Ando**
and I've been wanting
to meet you because of it.
**[00:44] Ando**
What do you say to having lunch together today?
**[00:48] Alya**
No, thanks.
**[00:51] Ando**
You drive a hard bargain. In that case,
**[00:54] Ando**
could we exchange contact details at least?
**[00:57] Alya**
I'm afraid I must refuse.
I have absolutely zero interest in you.
**[01:05] Alya**
If that's all, I must be going now.
**[01:09] Alya**
Oh, one last thing.
**[01:11] Alya**
Your necklace is against school rules.
**[01:17] Boy3**
Whoa, she shot down Ando-senpai,
the most coveted guy in school, like nothing!
**[01:21] Boy3**
Talk about having high standards.
**[01:25] Somegirl**
Kujo-san's here.
**[01:31] Alya**
Morning, Kuze-kun.
**[01:37] Alya**
Morning, Kuze-kun.
Stayed up watching late-night anime again?
**[01:41] Masachika**
Oh, hey. Morning, Alya.
**[01:43] Masachika**
Yeah, something like that.
**[01:46] Alya**
You never learn, do you?
**[01:48] Alya**
You sacrifice sleep to watch your anime
**[01:50] Alya**
and then snooze through school.
What's the point?
**[01:54] Masachika**
Hey, the anime finished airing at 1 AM.
**[01:57] Masachika**
The episode discussion took longer.
**[02:01] Alya**
Discussion?
**[02:02] Alya**
Oh, like on Twitter?
**[02:05] Masachika**
Nah. An otaku buddy and I
talked about it for two hours on a call.
**[02:09] Alya**
Are you insane?
**[02:11] Masachika**
"Insane," eh? Let's think about it.
**[02:14] Masachika**
If professing my love for a particular work
with no regard for time or place
**[02:19] Masachika**
is the definition of insanity,
then I will gladly admit I am insane.
**[02:23] Alya**
I take it back. You're just plain stupid.
**[02:27] Masachika**
I see you're in rare form today.
**[02:33] Alya**
милашка.
**[02:36] Alya**
What?
**[02:37] Masachika**
Uh, did you say something?
**[02:40] Alya**
Nothing special.
**[02:41] Alya**
I just said you look pathetic.
**[02:43] Masachika**
Well, *excuse* me.

**[02:46] Masachika**
Huh?
**[02:47] Alya**
What's wrong?
**[02:48] Masachika**
Oh, man.
**[02:50] Masachika**
Sorry, Alya, can I see your
chemistry workbook?
**[02:54] Alya**
What, you forgot again?
**[02:56] Masachika**
Yeah, I probably left it at home.
**[03:00] Alya**
Sure, I guess.

*Wait, what question are we even on?*
***SIGN*** Copper
**[03:39] Masachika**
It's 2! Copper!
**[03:40] Chemteach**
Wrong.
**[03:41] Chemteach**
Your turn, Kujo.
**[03:43] Alya**
Yes, sir.
**[03:45] Alya**
It's 8. Nickel.
**[03:47] Chemteach**
Correct.
**[03:48] Chemteach**
Try to pay attention in class, Kuze.

Yes, sir.

**[03:55] Masachika**
Don't just give me the wrong answer!
**[03:58] Alya**
I was simply pointing out
which question we were on.
**[04:01] Masachika**
Yeah, right!
**[04:03] Masachika**
You were clearly pointing
at the second choice!
**[04:05] Alya**
Lies and slander.
**[04:09] Masachika**
Try to be a little less obvious!
**[04:11] Alya**
милашка.
**[04:14] Masachika**
What was that?
**[04:16] Alya**
I called you stupid.
**[04:22] (Flashback) Alya**
милашка.
**[04:25] Alya**
милашка.
***SIGN*** You cutie, you.
**[04:27] Masachika**
*What do you* mean*, cutie?!*
**[04:29] Masachika**
*You said that before, too!*
**[04:31] Masachika**
*I can understand you, you know!*
***SIGN*** Look at you. You're red as a baby.

**[06:22] Masachika**
*I must've picked it up then.*
**[06:24] Masachika**
* And I can still pretty much*

**[06:28] Masachika**
* But who woulda thought*

**[06:32] Masachika**
* This cute Russian girl next to me fawns*
* over me exclusively in Russian, and I know!*
**[06:40] Masachika**
*If I came out and admitted it now...*
**[06:48] Masachika**
*Nope, not happening.*
**[06:56] Alya**
Outside of emergencies and cases
where they're needed for reference,
**[06:59] Alya**
the use of mobile phones
is banned within school grounds.
**[07:01] Masachika**
Which means this is allowed,
because this is an emergency.
**[07:06] Alya**
I'm going to ask you against
my better judgment: how, exactly?
**[07:09] Masachika**
Free rolls end in ten minutes.
**[07:13] Alya**
You have some nerve, pulling this stunt
beside a student council officer.
**[07:17] Masachika**
Let's go! SSR Tsukuyomi is mine!
**[07:20] Alya**
I'm taking that!
**[07:21] Masachika**
No!
**[07:23] Alya**
Tsukuyomi? Like, the goddess
of the moon in Japanese mythology?
**[07:28] Alya**
Why is her hair silver and not jet black?
**[07:31] Masachika**
Who knows? Probably a nod to the moon.
**[07:33] Masachika**
Who cares about that, anyway? She's cute.
**[07:37] Masachika**
You are too kind, milady!
**[07:41] Masachika**
Man, I really rolled Tsukuyomi-sama.
***SIGN*** I have silver hair too, you know... You cheater.
**[07:52] Masachika**
Uh, what was that?
**[07:53] Alya**
I called you a game junkie.
**[07:57] Masachika**
Hey, them's fighting words.
**[08:00] Alya**
Wh-What?
**[08:02] Masachika**
You can't call me a junkie when I'm F2P.
**[08:05] Masachika**
That's an affront to
the true junkies: the P2W whales.
**[08:12] Alya**
You make a good point. Nobody would
want to be put in the same category as you.
**[08:16] Masachika**
Savage!
**[08:19] Alya**
And here I thought you actually looked
serious and committed for once.
**[08:22] Masachika**
Now, now. Commitment is my middle name,
and that's an understatement.
**[08:27] Alya**
It's the overstatement of the century.
**[08:30] Masachika**
You do realize we have
another 80 years to go?
**[08:35] Takeshi**
Gwargh! I wanna be a hit with the ladies!
**[08:40] Hikaru**
What are you eating, Masachika?
**[08:42] Masachika**
Super spicy mapo ramen.
**[08:43] Takeshi**
Hey! Don't ignore my soulful plea!
**[08:47] Hikaru**
I figured it was
just the usual outburst.
**[08:49] Takeshi**
Oh, great. Check out Mr. Hot Stuff over here.
**[08:52] Boy**
Look, it's the student council!
***SIGN*** Alisa Mikhailovna Kujo
Student Council Treasurer
**[08:55] Alya**
We got here late. Are there any seats open?
***SIGN*** Mariya Mikhailovna Kujo
Student Council Secretary
**[08:59] Mariya**
It's okay. I'll eat over there
with my classmates.
***SIGN*** Suou Yuki
Student Council Spokesperson
**[09:04] Yuki**
Thank you for your
consideration, Masha-senpai.
**[09:08] Hikaru**
The Kujo sisters are both so pretty.
**[09:12] Takeshi**
Kujo-senpai is so pretty.
I'd love to get to know all about her.
**[09:17] Hikaru**
I hear she's got a boyfriend, though.
**[09:20] Masachika**
Huh.
**[09:21] Hikaru**
She keeps turning down boys who ask her out,
saying she's already dating someone.
**[09:27] Masachika**
Taken or not, Takeshi's still got no shot.
**[09:30] Takeshi**
Shut it! Don't get a big head
just 'cause you're friends with Lady Alya!
**[09:34] Takeshi**
Guh, I hate you.
**[09:37] Takeshi**
How come you get to address
that ice queen with her nickname?
**[09:42] Masachika**
It's cool, I guess.
**[09:45] Masachika**
But she does keep snapping at me.
**[09:48] Takeshi**
Hey, it's better than getting no response.
**[09:50] Takeshi**
She basically never talks to anyone else.
**[09:53] Masachika**
Guess that's what sitting next to her
for more than a year gets you.
**[09:57] Takeshi**
If I had to shoot my shot with one
of those three, it'd have to be Suou-san.
**[10:01] Takeshi**
She's approachable, unlike Lady Alya,
so it feels like she's gettable!
**[10:05] Takeshi**
Not that she isn't out of
most guys' league, of course.
**[10:08] Hikaru**
*Is* she gettable, though? Apparently
she's turned down more guys than Kujo-san.
**[10:14] Takeshi**
That's the problem.
**[10:17] Takeshi**
She is a rich girl, so maybe she's
already been promised to someone?
**[10:20] Takeshi**
You know anything, Masachika?
**[10:22] Masachika**
Why ask me?
**[10:23] Takeshi**
Isn't that obvious?
**[10:37] Yuki**
May I sit here, Masachika-kun?
**[10:42] Masachika**
Sure, go ahead.
**[10:45] Masachika**
You guys okay with that?
**[10:46] Takeshi**
Y-Y-Yeah.
**[10:48] Hikaru**
Totally.
**[10:49] Yuki**
Thank you kindly.
**[10:52] Yuki**
I see you ordered
the same thing, Masachika-kun.
**[10:56] Takeshi**
It's surprising that you have
a taste for that stuff too, Suou-san.
**[11:00] Yuki**
Oh, you needn't be so formal.
**[11:03] Yuki**
We're in the same year.
**[11:04] Takeshi**
Well, if you say so.
**[11:07] Yuki**
And yes, of course I eat ramen.
**[11:10] Yuki**
I often go out to eat some on days off.
**[11:14] Takeshi**
W-Wow.
**[11:22] Yuki**
This is lovely, though I do think
it could stand to be a bit spicier.
**[11:27] Masachika**
Right?
**[11:28] Masachika**
Wish we could top it with some chili oil.
**[11:31] Yuki**
It might be a good idea to
bring it up with the student council.
**[11:35] Masachika**
Don't bring your personal preferences
into admin matters.
**[11:38] Yuki**
I was simply joking.
**[11:42] Alya**
Are you two friends?
**[11:44] Yuki**
We've known each other since we were kids.
**[11:47] Alya**
You have?
**[11:49] Yuki**
Indeed. We've gone to school together
all the way from preschool to now.
**[11:53] Alya**
Really?
**[11:55] Masachika**
Actually, are you two friends?
**[11:58] Yuki**
I suppose you could say it's a process.
**[12:01] Yuki**
If nothing else, I do want
to be friends with Alisa-san.
**[12:08] Alya**
I don't think being friends
with me will be any fun.
**[12:12] Yuki**
So, you aren't entirely opposed to the idea?
**[12:20] Alya**
I guess not.
**[12:23] Takeshi**
Well, we're done here.
**[12:26] Hikaru**
See you.
**[12:28] Masachika**
Okay?
**[12:29] Takeshi**
They're too shiny for me. I can't!
**[12:36] Yuki**
By the way...
**[12:39] Yuki**
Masachika-kun, have you considered
my offer to join the student council?
**[12:44] Masachika**
Like I've said over and over,
I'm not interested.
**[12:47] Yuki**
I think you would be a great fit
with Alisa-san and myself.
**[12:52] Yuki**
And what's more,
**[12:53] Yuki**
you have experience as
student council vice president.
**[12:55] Alya**
What?
**[12:57] Yuki**
When we were in middle school,
I was president and he was vice president.
**[13:02] Alya**
Really?
**[13:04] Masachika**
I only ran because Yuki asked me to.
**[13:07] Masachika**
Elections at our school required
each candidate to have a running mate.
**[13:14] Yuki**
It may come as a surprise to you,
**[13:18] Yuki**
but he *is* capable of getting
things done, believe it or not.
**[13:22] Masachika**
Uh, "believe it or not"?
**[13:25] Yuki**
That's right.
***SIGN*** You don't have to tell me. I know that already.
***SIGN*** Oshiruko
**[13:35] Alya**
So, you two are close, huh?
**[13:37] Masachika**
Surprised?
**[13:38] Alya**
I very much am.
**[13:39] Alya**
I never imagined that any girl
would want to be friends with you.
**[13:42] Masachika**
Huh? Excuse me?
**[13:44] Alya**
What?
**[13:45] Masachika**
Uh, I just mean...
**[13:48] Masachika**
There's one right here?
**[13:51] Alya**
Wait, are we friends?
**[13:53] Masachika**
Huh? Are we not?
**[13:56] Alya**
No, you're right. We are friends.
**[13:59] Masachika**
Hey, where are you going?
**[14:01] Alya**
I remembered something
I had to do at the student council office.
**[14:06] Masachika**
What's with her?
***SIGN*** Hey!
***SIGN*** Masachka!
***SIGN*** Again, it's Masachika.
***SIGN*** Hehe.
***SIGN*** Come up here, Masachka!
***SIGN*** Look at this beautiful sunset.
***SIGN*** Yeah, it's very p... p...
***SIGN*** Pretty.
***SIGN*** Very pretty.
***SIGN*** See you tomorrow, Masachka.
***SIGN*** Yeah, see you.
**[15:08] Masachika**
I studied Russian like crazy
because I wanted to talk to her,
**[15:14] Masachika**
but I don't even remember her name.
**[15:20] Masachika**
Top of the morning to you!
***SIGN*** Day Duty:

***SIGN*** Day Duty:
Kujo/Kuze
**[15:36] Masachika**
Perfect, if I do say so myself.
**[15:41] Masachika**
Hey, morning.
**[15:43] Alya**
Morning, Kuze-kun.
**[15:45] Masachika**
I woke up real early this morning
**[15:48] Masachika**
and had nothing to do,
so I came in early and took care of some things.
**[15:51] Alya**
You? Waking up early?
**[15:53] Alya**
Hell must've frozen over.
**[15:56] Masachika**
You sure do know
how to pick the most biting remarks.
**[16:01] Alya**
I'll wipe the blackboard in the morning.
**[16:04] Masachika**
Deal.
**[16:06] Masachika**
What happened there?
Did you step in a puddle or something?
**[16:10] Alya**
No. I'm not like you.
**[16:13] Masachika**
Are you implying I'm a chronic spacer-outer?
**[16:18] Alya**
Rest assured, I wasn't.
**[16:21] Alya**
A truck splash-and-dashed me on the way here.
**[16:23] Masachika**
Oh, way to put a damper on things.
**[16:26] Alya**
Well, it was partly my fault
for walking so close to the road.
**[16:31] Alya**
And I have some spare socks, so I'll live.
**[16:36] Alya**
Kuze-kun.
**[16:37] Alya**
You were a student council officer
with Suou-san in middle school, right?
**[16:42] Masachika**
Hmm? Yeah, I was.
**[16:44] Alya**
Huh.
**[16:48] Alya**
Say, Kuze-kun.
**[16:49] Masachika**
Yeah?
**[16:50] Alya**
Are you not willing to be
part of the student council?
**[16:52] Masachika**
Not you, too.
**[16:54] Alya**
Answer me.
**[16:57] Masachika**
Yeah. I'm not interested in joining.
**[17:01] Alya**
But what if I...
**[17:05] Alya**
Nothing. Never mind.
**[17:24] Alya**
Hey, could you grab a spare sock
for me from my locker?
**[17:28] Masachika**
Wha?
**[17:29] Alya**
I can't go get it myself
now that I've taken it off.
**[17:33] Alya**
Get to it.
**[17:36] Masachika**
Fine.
**[17:40] Masachika**
I'm opening it.
**[17:45] Masachika**
Here.
**[17:46] Alya**
Put it on for me.
**[17:47] Masachika**
Wha?!
**[17:48] Alya**
What's wrong?
**[17:49] Masachika**
Do you have to ask?
What's wrong with *you*?!
**[17:53] Alya**
As thanks for grabbing my sock for me.
**[17:55] Alya**
It would be a nice little treat for you, no?
**[17:58] Masachika**
That only holds true for a small set
of people with peculiar taste.
**[18:01] Alya**
Oh, am I wrong?
**[18:02] Masachika**
Nope! Very much a treat!
***SIGN*** It is for me, too.
**[18:08] Masachika**
*Y'know, I've been wondering.*
**[18:10] Masachika**
* Why are her displays of affection*
* for me in Russian so weird?*
**[18:13] Masachika**
* Maybe her perfectionism in playing*
* her ideal self is stressing her out,*
**[18:18] Masachika**
*and she's using me as a release or something?*
**[18:22] Masachika**
*So she's mentally exposing herself...*
**[18:24] Masachika**
*Wait, she's an exhibitionist?*
**[18:26] Alya**
What?
**[18:27] Masachika**
Oh, just thinking about what you said.
**[18:31] Alya**
Not much.
**[18:32] Alya**
I just called you a coward.
**[18:35] Alya**
Forget it. I'll put it on myself.
**[18:38] Masachika**
Nah, no need for that.
**[18:42] Alya**
Hey, wait! Wh-What are you doing?!
**[18:44] Masachika**
What? Putting it on for you, as you requested.
**[18:46] Alya**
I did, but...
**[18:49] Masachika**
You called me a coward,
and I'm not about to take that lying down.
**[18:55] Alya**
Hey, wait! I'm...
**[18:57] Alya**
I'm not ready for this!
**[19:01] Masachika**
H-Hey, stop squirming.
**[19:06] Alya**
Easy for you to say!
**[19:11] Alya**
Watch your hands!
**[19:17] Masachika**
Ow!
**[19:18] Masachika**
Ouch...
***SIGN*** "Big news, sister of mine."
***SIGN***
"What is it, beloved brother of mine?"
***SIGN*** "Stay calm and hear me out. I..."
***SIGN***
"Gulp."

I knew you'd get it, sister of mine.
***SIGN***
What is with this brain-dead convo?
**[19:49] Masachika**
*Now, how do I solve the problem at hand?*
**[19:55] Masachika**
Hey, Alya.
**[19:57] Masachika**
Alya!
**[20:00] Alya**
What is it, Kuze-kun?
**[20:02] Masachika**
Hey, so, I just wanted to say...
***SIGN*** You leg-fetishist perv.
**[20:09] Masachika**
Could you forgive me already?
**[20:13] Alya**
Nah.
**[20:14] Alya**
I'm not mad anymore.
**[20:18] Alya**
And, uh, I'm sorry I kicked you.
**[20:22] Alya**
Are you okay?
**[20:23] Masachika**
Huh? Y-Yeah.
**[20:26] Masachika**
I'm fine, I think.
**[20:28] Alya**
Really?
**[20:28] Alya**
You didn't hurt your neck or anything?
**[20:31] Masachika**
Nah, don't worry about it!
**[20:33] Masachika**
If anything, I should thank you for
giving me a peek into the promised land!
**[20:38] Alya**
Huh?
**[20:39] Masachika**
Oops.
**[20:39] Alya**
You got... a peek?
**[20:44] Alya**
Wait, did you see my... p-pa...
**[20:48] Masachika**
Welp.
**[20:50] Masachika**
Thank you for the truly spectacular view!
***SIGN*** I don't believe you! Die, stupid!
**[21:02] Masachika**
Hey, spare a thought for my neck!
**[21:08] Masachika**
Sorry! I took it a bit too far!
***SIGN*** Shut up!
**[21:20] Masachika**
My bad!
**[21:21] Alya**
Stop chasing me!
**[21:23] Masachika**
Let's talk this out!
**[21:25] Alya**
There's nothing to talk about!
**[21:33] Masachika**
You sure do know
how to move, don't you?
***SIGN*** 10 Minutes Later
**[21:42] Masachika**
You okay there?
**[21:44] Alya**
I would be, if you hadn't
chased me all over school.
**[21:49] Masachika**
Well, that's fair.
**[21:52] Masachika**
Anyway, you know...
**[21:54] Masachika**
I'm sorry. I apologize.
**[21:58] Alya**
I get it, okay?
**[22:01] Alya**
I'm not entirely blameless, either.
**[22:06] Masachika**
Milady, please accept this offering.
***SIGN*** Oshiruko
**[22:11] Alya**
What are you playing at?
**[22:14] Masachika**
I present this to thee
as a humble peace offering.
**[22:18] Alya**
Drop the weird act.
**[22:20] Masachika**
I know you love your shiruko porridge.
You're always drinking it.
**[22:27] Alya**
I'll take it. I just happen
to be thirsty.
**[22:31] Masachika**
True that.
***SIGN*** Want a sip?
**[22:39] Masachika**
*An indirect kiss scene out of nowhere?!*
**[22:42] Masachika**
* So, what, if I say yes here, we can get*
* some mouth-to-can-to-mouth action?!*
**[22:48] Masachika**
Wh-What was that?
***SIGN*** Chickened
out
**[22:50] Alya**
I said, nothing beats a sweet drink
after a hard workout.
**[22:54] Masachika**
I think you meant to say "a cold drink."
***SIGN*** He doesn't get any of this.
**[23:05] Masachika**
*I heard what you said!*

**[00:05] Masachika**
Yuki, you here?
**[00:07] Yuki**
Oh, Masachika-kun. Thank you for coming.
**[00:10] Masachika**
No problem. What's this about?
**[00:12] Yuki**
You could start with some pleasantries.
**[00:14] Yuki**
How about, "Sorry, did you wait long?"
**[00:18] Masachika**
Sorry, did you wait long?
**[00:20] Yuki**
Yeah, you really kept me waiting!
**[00:23] Alya**
You two sure get along.
**[00:25] Masachika**
Didn't know you were here, Alya.
**[00:27] Alya**
I sure am. Sorry for being the third wheel.
**[00:31] Masachika**
Welp...
**[00:33] Masachika**
*This jerk set me up.*
**[00:36] Masachika**
So, you want me to help
sort out everything in storage?
**[00:40] Yuki**
Yes.
**[00:42] Masachika**
Hup.
**[00:43] Yuki**
Of course you'd be at home doing this.
**[00:46] Masachika**
I guess.
**[00:47] Yuki**
Could you help me out for a second here?
**[00:51] Masachika**
Hmm? Board games?
**[00:56] Masachika**
Here.
**[00:57] Yuki**
Thank you kindly.
**[00:59] Masachika**
I see cards, too.
**[01:01] Yuki**
We use these for school festival events.
**[01:04] Yuki**
I also happened to play during the new
student council's get-together the other day.
**[01:09] Masachika**
Huh. Who won, by the way?
**[01:12] Yuki**
Um... I suppose I was technically the winner...
**[01:17] Masachika**
Figures.
**[01:18] Alya**
Less chatting, more working.
**[01:21] Masachika**
Oops, sorry.
**[01:22] Yuki**
Pardon us, Alisa-san.
***SIGN*** Give me attention, too.
***SIGN*** Come to me. Come to me.
**[01:37] Masachika**
*What is she thinking? Isn't that embarrassing?!*
**[01:42] Alya**
*I'm throwing myself at him, and he has no idea.*
***SIGN*** Come to me. Come to me.
***SIGN*** Student Council Office
**[01:56] Yuki**
Great work, Masachika-kun.
**[01:59] Alya**
Thanks. You were a big help.
**[02:00] Masachika**
Sure.
**[02:02] Toya**
What, already done?
**[02:05] Yuki**
Yes.
**[02:06] Yuki**
Kuze-kun helped us out.
**[02:08] Toya**
Oh, so you're Kuze.
**[02:11] Toya**
I'm Kenzaki, the student council president.

***SIGN*** Episode 2
***SIGN*** So Much For Childhood Friends
**[03:49] Masachika**
Gee, thanks.
**[03:51] Masachika**
*Yeah, he definitely has an aura about him.*
**[03:55] Masachika**
*No wonder he's our superstar president.*
**[03:58] Masachika**
See you later, then.
**[04:01] Toya**
Hold up.
**[04:03] Toya**
I'd feel bad sending you off
empty-handed after all your help.
**[04:06] Toya**
Let me buy you dinner.
**[04:09] Masachika**
It's fine. Appreciate the thought, though.
**[04:11] Yuki**
Why not accept?
**[04:13] Yuki**
You won't have dinner ready for you
when you get home, anyway.
**[04:17] Toya**
Huh?
**[04:18] Toya**
How do you know what he has going on at home?
**[04:21] Yuki**
We go way back.
**[04:24] Toya**
Yeah?
**[04:25] Toya**
Perfect, then. You two join us,
Suou and Kujo Junior.
**[04:30] Yuki**
Thank you for offering.
**[04:32] Alya**
Very well.
**[04:33] Masachika**
Seriously?
**[04:38] Toya**
It's not like a casual diner costs much!
**[04:41] Toya**
Anyway, I'm impressed you finished so quickly.
**[04:45] Toya**
I was expecting it to take until tomorrow.
**[04:48] Yuki**
Masachika-kun's amazing.
**[04:50] Yuki**
He can handle physical labor
and paperwork like it's nothing,
**[04:53] Yuki**
and he's an expert emcee and negotiator.
**[04:56] Masachika**
Quit hyping me up.
**[04:58] Toya**
It's not often Suou goes
overboard with the praise.
**[05:01] Toya**
Kuze, any interest
in joining the student council?
**[05:04] Masachika**
Sorry, but I'm done with
student council work forever.
**[05:08] Masachika**
I had enough in middle school.
**[05:10] Toya**
Hmm. Being part of the student council
at our high school is certainly a lot of work,
**[05:15] Toya**
but it comes with its own benefits.
**[05:17] Toya**
If I may be blunt,
**[05:19] Toya**
it'll have a massive effect
on your recommendation.
**[05:23] Masachika**
Hate to break it to you,
but I'm not much of a go-getter.
**[05:27] Yuki**
Come on, please join us.
**[05:29] Yuki**
Let's run for office together again.
**[05:32] Masachika**
Don't suggest that so casually!
**[05:34] Masachika**
And heck, do you even need me?
You're a shoo-in to be the next president anyway.
**[05:39] Yuki**
But I want to run the
student council with you.
**[05:43] Masachika**
Nope! Can't be bothered!
**[05:46] Toya**
I must correct you, Kuze.
Suou is far from being a shoo-in.
**[05:51] Toya**
We have other candidates.
**[05:53] Toya**
Chief among them is Kujo Junior over here.
**[05:57] Masachika**
Alya?
**[05:59] Alya**
Yeah. I'll be running against
Suou-san next year.
**[06:07] Waitress**
Here's your order!
**[06:11] All**
Thanks for the meal.
**[06:13] Toya**
Sure.
**[06:13] Toya**
Suou and I are going this way.
**[06:15] Toya**
You walk Kujo Junior home, Kuze.
**[06:18] Masachika**
Sure.
**[06:20] Masachika**
Okay, shall we go?
**[06:22] Alya**
It's fine. You don't need to walk me.
**[06:25] Masachika**
You know that's not gonna fly.
**[06:32] Masachika**
Alya.
**[06:33] Alya**
What?
**[06:35] Masachika**
Are you really gonna run
for student council president?
**[06:38] Alya**
I am. I said as much earlier.
**[06:42] Masachika**
Huh...
**[06:46] Alya**
I'll be fine from here. Thanks.
**[06:49] Masachika**
Yeah?
**[06:50] Alya**
Bye.
**[06:51] Masachika**
Bye.
**[07:12] Yuki**
Welcome back.
**[07:13] Yuki**
Did you walk Alya-san home?
**[07:15] Masachika**
What're you doing here?
**[07:17] Yuki**
I'm staying here tonight.
**[07:19] Masachika**
News to me.
**[07:20] Yuki**
It's breaking now.
***SIGN*** Teach Me How to Love 2
**[07:22] Yuki**
Ah, yes, an unknown hot guy
walking with the heroine.
**[07:26] Yuki**
Gotta be her brother.
Older, from the looks of it.
**[07:29] Yuki**
Man, that should be obvious.
**[07:32] Yuki**
Why won't the protag realize?
**[07:35] Masachika**
Uh, you're one to talk.
**[07:36] Yuki**
Huh?
**[07:37] Masachika**
You're one to talk when you're pretending
to be my childhood friend in school.
**[07:41] Yuki**
What? It's not a lie!
**[07:44] Yuki**
Do you even know what a childhood friend is?
**[07:47] Masachika**
Someone you got along with growing up, right?
**[07:50] Yuki**
Exactly!
**[07:51] Yuki**
That includes siblings!
**[07:54] Yuki**
"Childhood friend," "otaku buddy,"
and "sister" can all be true at the same time!
**[07:59] Masachika**
What a weird interpretation.
**[08:01] Yuki**
More like a big-brain interpretation
of constantly evolving language!
**[08:08] Yuki**
Whoa, timeout!
**[08:11] Yuki**
It really was the heroine's big bro with her.
**[08:14] Masachika**
Classic trope.
**[08:16] Yuki**
He's kissing the heroine now.
**[08:17] Masachika**
For real?!
**[08:19] Yuki**
For real.
**[08:20] Yuki**
Damn, we're getting some wincest.
**[08:23] Masachika**
Wait, hold on.
**[08:25] Masachika**
Think about it. They've gotta be
step-siblings or something.
**[08:29] Yuki**
You moron!
**[08:31] Yuki**
It's only good when they're blood-related!
***SIGN*** Suou Yuki

Bwof!
**[08:42] Yuki**
Good morning, my brother.
**[08:45] Masachika**
It stopped being good a few seconds ago.
**[08:48] Yuki**
Come on, now. Your dearest little sister's
waking you up with love and warmth.
**[08:53] Yuki**
Rejoice.
**[08:54] Masachika**
Yeah, I'm not letting you spin this.
**[08:56] Masachika**
This is just DV.
**[08:58] Yuki**
DV? "Dear Venus"?
**[09:00] Yuki**
Aw, big bro, you love me so!
**[09:04] Masachika**
Domestic violence!
**[09:08] Yuki**
Fine, have it your way.
**[09:10] Yuki**
Next time, I'll hide under your bed
and grab your leg as you get out.
**[09:15] Masachika**
What are you even trying to be in life?
**[09:18] Masachika**
Yeesh. Get off already.
**[09:21] Yuki**
Why?
**[09:22] Yuki**
Getting a stiffy?
**[09:23] Masachika**
Die.
**[09:25] Yuki**
All right, rise and shine.
**[09:27] Yuki**
You have a date with your dearest little sis!

The movie-exclusive relationship moments
that are never in the TV show...
**[09:41] Yuki**
So good!
**[09:42] Yuki**
Okay, time to rewatch!
**[09:45] Masachika**
Yeah, no! We're supposed to go shopping!
**[09:46] Yuki**
Unhand me! The movie is calling my name!
**[09:47] Masachika**
Whoa! Quit lining up for tickets!
**[09:52] Yuki**
I've been wanting a new summery dress.
**[09:56] Yuki**
But I'm about to go broke buying merch.
**[10:00] Masachika**
Ouch! This is 15,000 yen?!
**[10:03] Yuki**
Women's fashion costs a lot
for every inch of fabric.
**[10:07] Masachika**
You don't say.
**[10:09] Masachika**
As an aside, sister of mine.
**[10:11] Yuki**
What is it, beloved brother of mine?
**[10:13] Masachika**
Is it just me who's been seeing a silver
something in the corner of my eye?
**[10:18] Yuki**
Not just you, my brother.
**[10:21] Masachika**
Figures.
**[10:23] Masachika**
You've undone your ponytail and
switched to prim-and-proper rich girl mode.
**[10:28] Yuki**
I noticed a long time before you did, bro.
**[10:32] Masachika**
Really? When?
**[10:33] Yuki**
Pretty soon after we came down to this floor.
**[10:36] Masachika**
That long ago? I'm impressed.
**[10:39] Yuki**
Hmph. I possess a hyper sixth sense
for detecting the gaze of people I know.
**[10:44] Masachika**
Seriously?
**[10:45] Masachika**
Doesn't saying that make you cringe?
**[10:48] Yuki**
*I'm cringing hard.*
**[10:50] Masachika**
Nothing to be smug about!
**[10:52] Masachika**
*Now, how do I solve this problem at hand?*
**[10:54] Yuki**
My, Alisa-san?
**[10:56] Masachika**
Sister of mine!
**[11:00] Masachika**
Hey, it's Alya. What a coincidence.
**[11:06] Alya**
Y-Yes, quite the coincidence.
**[11:08] Alya**
I spotted you two a few moments ago,
but I couldn't find the right time to say hi.
**[11:14] Masachika**
*"Few moments ago," my ass.*
**[11:14] Yuki**
*"Few moments ago," my foot.*
**[11:17] Yuki**
What brings you here, Alisa-san?
**[11:20] Alya**
Oh, clothes shopping.
**[11:22] Yuki**
Is that so? Have you had lunch already?
**[11:25] Alya**
No, not yet.
**[11:27] Yuki**
In that case, would you like to
join us? We're about to—
**[11:31] Masachika**
Hold up! Are you thinking of
taking Alya to *that* restaurant?
**[11:35] Yuki**
Is that a problem?
**[11:37] Yuki**
You were looking forward to it.
**[11:40] Masachika**
It's clearly a problem!
**[11:42] Masachika**
We should go somewhere else
if we're taking Alya.
**[11:44] Alya**
What? What's the problem?
**[11:47] Yuki**
Do you dislike spicy food?
**[11:51] Alisa**
Spicy food?

**[11:59] Yuki**
If you don't dislike spicy food, join us.
**[12:02] Masachika**
Stop downplaying it.
**[12:04] Masachika**
Alya, let me be straight with you.
**[12:07] Masachika**
It's not just spicy. That place
serves *super* spicy ramen.
**[12:10] Alya**
I'll go.
**[12:11] Masachika**
You don't have to come with us
if you don't want to.
**[12:13] Alya**
What, do you have
a problem with my presence?
**[12:16] Masachika**
That's not what I mean.
***SIGN*** Hell's

***SIGN*** Hell's Cauldron
**[12:22] Alya**
Is this it?
**[12:24] Yuki**
It is.
**[12:25] Alya**
It's called Hell's Cauldron?
**[12:28] Alya**
You said it's a ramen place, right?
**[12:30] Yuki**
It very much is.
**[12:31] Alya**
Why does it have "hell" in the name?
**[12:34] Yuki**
Rest assured, it's in all
the dishes' names, too.
**[12:38] Alya**
That so?
**[12:40] Masachika**
Having second thoughts?
**[12:41] Alya**
Of course not!
**[12:43] Alya**
I simply needed a moment
to process how unique this place is.
**[12:47] Masachika**
I see.
**[12:49] Waiter**
Welcome!
**[12:51] Waiter**
Table for three? This way, please.
***SIGN*** Hell's Cauldron
***SIGN*** Our trademark three stages of hell
***SIGN*** Pool of

***SIGN*** Our most popular offering
***SIGN*** Pincushion

***SIGN*** Piercing heat
***SIGN*** Infinite Hell
***SIGN*** Makes even the demons of hell squirm
**[12:56] Alya**
I have no idea what any of this means.
**[12:58] Masachika**
Yep.
**[12:59] Yuki**
Pool of Blood Hell is a ramen
with bright-red soup.
**[13:03] Yuki**
It has the least heat on this menu.
**[13:05] Yuki**
Pincushion Hell is so hot,
**[13:07] Yuki**
it feels like your tongue is being
pierced by countless needles.
**[13:12] Alya**
What's this "Infinite Hell" at the bottom?
**[13:15] Yuki**
Apparently, it's so spicy that your entire
mouth just goes completely numb.
**[13:20] Masachika**
I think I'll go with Pool of Blood Hell.
**[13:23] Masachika**
Can't get too adventurous with your order
when it's your first time at a restaurant.
**[13:27] Alya**
R-Right. It's good to start with the basics.
**[13:31] Yuki**
Are you both ordering that?
**[13:34] Yuki**
In that case, I'll have the same thing myself.
**[13:38] Waiter**
Three Pools of Blood for Table 5!
**[13:44] Alya**
You're dressed quite
boyishly today, Suou-san.
**[13:49] Alya**
It caught me by surprise.
**[13:51] Yuki**
It is a day off, so I went with this for
a change of pace in my private time.
**[13:55] Alya**
Yeah? "Private time," huh?
**[14:00] Yuki**
You see, I was in bed
with Masachika-kun this morning.
**[14:04] Alya**
In bed... with him?
**[14:07] Yuki**
Yes. And because I wanted to wear
something different today,
**[14:13] Yuki**
I asked him to let me borrow this shirt.
**[14:16] Alya**
What's the meaning of this?
**[14:18] Masachika**
Wait, she just showed up at my place,
**[14:20] Masachika**
entered my room, and jumped
in my bed all by herself, believe me!
**[14:23] Alya**
Oh, really?
**[14:25] Masachika**
Not buying it, huh?
**[14:26] Waiter**
Here's your order.
Three Pools of Blood.
**[14:33] Masachika**
Here we go.
**[14:35] Yuki**
Let's dig in before it gets soggy.
**[14:37] Masachika**
Yeah.
**[14:39] Alya**
R-Right...
**[15:03] Masachika**
You okay there, Alya?
**[15:06] Alya**
Yeah, this is very good.
**[15:13] Masachika**
Oh, this is great.
**[15:14] Yuki**
Isn't it? The chilies accentuate
the ingredients very well.
***SIGN*** Help, it hurts.
**[15:23] Masachika**
Seriously, Alya, you don't have to
push yourself.
**[15:26] Alya**
What are you talking about? I said it's good.
**[15:28] Masachika**
*Uh, you said "it hurts."*
***SIGN*** I can't...
***SIGN*** Mama...
**[15:41] Masachika**
Alya—
**[15:41] Yuki**
How do you like it, Alisa-san?
**[15:44] Alisa**
This is delicious.
**[15:46] Yuki**
That's great. I'm so happy to hear that
you enjoy super spicy food, too.
**[15:51] Yuki**
At this restaurant,
**[15:52] Yuki**
you can use this Devil's Tear seasoning
to make your food even spicier.
**[15:56] Yuki**
Would you like to try it?
**[15:58] Masachika**
Hey, Yuki...
**[16:02] Masachika**
*She's doing this on purpose!*
**[16:05] Alya**
Y-Yeah, I think I will.
**[16:08] Masachika**
Wait, Alya. You should really rethink this.
**[16:11] Alya**
One little drop won't kill me.
**[16:32] Masachika**
You alive, Alya?
**[16:36] Alya**
Where's Suou-san?
**[16:39] Masachika**
She ran off, saying she had something to buy.
**[16:42] Alya**
Oh.
**[16:43] Masachika**
You okay?
**[16:45] Alya**
What do you mean?
**[16:46] Masachika**
You know what I mean.
**[16:50] Masachika**
Want some ice cream?
**[16:53] Alya**
I do.
**[17:03] Girl**
Mom, I want chocolate!
**[17:08] Masachika**
Say, Alya.
**[17:09] Alya**
What?
**[17:10] Masachika**
Why do you wanna be
student council president?
**[17:13] Alya**
Because I want to.
**[17:17] Alya**
Do I really need a reason to aim higher?
**[17:24] Masachika**
Do you have a running mate?
**[17:26] Alya**
I don't.
**[17:27] Alya**
But that won't be a problem.
I don't need anyone.
**[17:31] Masachika**
Uh, that's not how it works.
The rules say you have to run as a pair.
**[17:37] Alya**
I just need a vice president on paper, right?
**[17:41] Alya**
I'll try to find some
random person to support me.
**[17:44] Masachika**
Yeah?
***SIGN*** If only you would...
**[17:56] (Flashback) Sayaka**
Dad...
**[17:58] (Flashback) Sayaka**
Mom... I'm sorry.
**[18:00] (Flashback) Sayaka**
I'm so sorry!
**[18:10] Alya**
Kuze-kun, do you have any plans after this?
**[18:13] Masachika**
Nah, not really.
**[18:15] Alya**
What about Suou-san?
**[18:16] Masachika**
I mean, we could just meet up later.
**[18:20] Alya**
Yeah?
**[18:21] Alya**
Then come help me out.
**[18:23] Masachika**
With what?
**[18:25] Masachika**
Oh, you did say you wanted to shop for clothes.
**[18:27] Alya**
That's right.
**[18:28] Masachika**
You sure about that?
**[18:30] Masachika**
A dude helping a girl pick out clothes?
That kinda implies a close relationship.
**[18:36] Alya**
Really?
**[18:38] Masachika**
*Oh...*
**[18:40] Masachika**
* Alya doesn't have friends*
* to go clothes shopping with.*
**[18:43] Masachika**
*So she doesn't get how it all works.*
**[18:46] Masachika**
Yeah, let me help.
**[18:49] Alya**
What's gotten into you?
**[18:51] Masachika**
We're friends, after all.
**[18:53] Alya**
Something about that
doesn't sit right.
**[18:57] Masachika**
Don't worry about it.
**[19:00] Alya**
*Why'd he suddenly start being nice to me?*
**[19:04] Alya**
* Wait, does he think I don't stand*
* a chance of becoming president?*
**[19:08] Alya**
*Stuff your pity!*
**[19:13] Alya**
Okay, I'll go change! Tell me what you think!
**[19:16] Masachika**
You got it.
**[19:17] Alya**
* I'll blow his mind with my fashion show*
* and show him who's boss!*
**[19:23] Alya**
* Wait a second. He might hear me*
* changing outside.*
**[19:28] Alya**
Kuze-kun! Move farther away!
**[19:31] Masachika**
Gotcha.
**[19:50] Alya**
Yes, I look nice, if I do say so myself.
**[19:53] Alya**
All right!
**[19:56] Alya**
What if he doesn't react?
**[19:59] Masachika**
Oh, it's fine, I guess.
**[20:02] Alya**
* Hmph! Try it,*
* and I'll slap your mouth off!*
**[20:09] Alya**
What do you say?
**[20:10] Staff**
Wow, so pretty!
**[20:13] Masachika**
Oh, you look great.
**[20:16] Masachika**
That outfit ups your elegance and femininity
**[20:19] Masachika**
and makes you look even prettier than usual.
**[20:23] Alya**
Oh, really?
**[20:24] Masachika**
Yeah.
**[20:25] Alya**
Okay, next.
**[20:28] Alya**
*Huh? What was that?!*
**[20:30] Alya**
*He praised the heck out of me!*
**[20:33] Masachika**
*I can't! I can't handle this embarrassment!*
**[20:36] Masachika**
*How does she do this all the time?!*
**[20:39] Customer1**
Teenage couple?
**[20:41] Customer2**
How cute.
**[20:42] Alya**
*He said I was pretty...*
**[20:44] Alya**
*He said I was pretty!*
**[20:52] Alya**
I didn't know he had it in him
to compliment a girl right.
**[20:55] Alya**
I'm impressed.
**[20:57] Alya**
He's kind of... used to it?
**[21:04] Alya**
Her outfit today was pretty boyish.
**[21:08] Alya**
What do you say about this?
**[21:10] Masachika**
Now you look really cool.
**[21:14] Masachika**
You're more hot than cute,
so I think it suits you.
**[21:20] Alya**
O-Oh?
**[21:21] Alya**
You think? Thanks.
**[21:23] Alya**
Okay, next.
**[21:26] Masachika**
Wow, that's lovely!
**[21:29] Masachika**
Sexy suits you, too.
**[21:31] Masachika**
Pretty.
**[21:33] Masachika**
So pretty!
**[21:34] Masachika**
You're so pretty.

**[21:49] Alya**
This may be a little too revealing.
**[21:52] Alya**
But I'm sure Kuze-kun will like it.
**[21:58] Alya**
How about this one?
**[22:06] Yuki**
Wow, Alisa-san, you're so daring.
**[22:09] Masachika**
Yep.
***SIGN*** I wanna disappear.
**[22:20] Yuki**
What'd she say?
**[22:22] Masachika**
She wants to disappear, apparently.
**[22:24] Yuki**
Hah, what a big baby.
**[22:27] Masachika**
Who're you supposed to be?
**[22:37] Masachika**
See you Monday, Alya.
**[22:41] Yuki**
Today was fun. We should hang out again.
**[22:44] Alya**
Yeah, we should. Bye.
**[22:52] Alya**
What was I thinking with that skimpy skirt?
**[22:55] Alya**
They must think I'm a skank!
**[23:01] Alya**
Wait, why'd they get off at the same station?
**[23:05] Alya**
Huh?

Huh?

What?!

**[01:32] Alya**
I'm back.
**[01:33] Masha**
Welcome home, Alya-chan!
**[01:37] Masha**
Hug.
**[01:40] Alya**
I'm home, Masha.
**[01:42] Masha**
Come on! I told you to
call me Onee-chan in Japan!
**[01:46] Alya**
No, not after all this time.
**[01:48] Masha**
Boo, you meanie!
**[01:54] Masha**
You seem kinda down.
**[01:56] Masha**
Did something happen?
**[01:58] Alya**
No? Not really.
**[02:01] Masha**
Lies. You can't deceive my eyes.
**[02:04] Masha**
Tell me, what happened?
**[02:07] Alya**
It's really not a big deal.
**[02:10] Alya**
I just met Kuze-kun
and his childhood friend. That's all.
**[02:15] Masha**
Ah, him.
**[02:16] Alya**
What?
**[02:17] Masha**
You just get really
worked up when it comes to him.
**[02:27] Masha**
I see.
**[02:29] Masha**
Finally, a boy who can move
your heart has showed up, huh?
**[02:34] Alya**
What's that mean?
**[02:36] Masha**
You like this Kuze-kun, don't you?
**[02:39] Alya**
I don't know what gave you that silly idea,
**[02:42] Alya**
but he and I aren't like that.
**[02:45] Alya**
We are, uh...
**[02:48] Alya**
Right, we are friends.
**[02:51] Masha**
Oh, yeah? How did you become friends, though?
**[02:54] Masha**
I know you hate indifferent slackers.
**[03:00] Alya**
Well, yeah...
***SIGN*** 6 Years Ago
***SIGN*** Vladivostok
***SIGN*** Split up into groups
***SIGN*** and write a report on local businesses.
***SIGN*** The group with the best report
***SIGN*** will receive a prize!
***SIGN*** So, I'll handle the clothes boutique and the bakery.
***SIGN*** Alya, you visit the florist and the butcher.
***SIGN*** Okay, got it.
***SIGN*** If I'm in it,
***SIGN*** I'm in it to win.
***SIGN*** Excuse me!
***SIGN*** Hey, missy. On an errand?
***SIGN*** No, this is schoolwork.
***SIGN*** We have to look into local businesses
***SIGN*** and find out about
***SIGN*** what their work involves.
***SIGN*** Oh, this is the place.
***SIGN*** Excuse me!
***SIGN*** The assignment?
***SIGN*** Oh, sorry. Haven't started yet.
***SIGN*** What?
***SIGN*** But why?
***SIGN*** Writing up the report takes time, so we need to hurry.
***SIGN*** There's still a week left. We'll be fine.
***SIGN*** No, we won't!
***SIGN*** Besides, this is easy.
***SIGN*** A clothes boutique sells clothes, a bakery sells bread.
***SIGN*** Right?
***SIGN*** Whoa, she's writing up whole essays!
***SIGN*** You gotta chill out, girl.
***SIGN*** Alya, will we have to recite all of this?
***SIGN*** Why won't you take this seriously?
***SIGN*** If you got such a problem with us, you can do this alone!
***SIGN*** We won't win if we don't put in the effort!
***SIGN*** H-Hey!
***SIGN*** S-Stop! Knock it off!
***SIGN*** For the group assignment,
***SIGN*** the best report belongs to...
***SIGN*** Group B!
***SIGN*** Yeah! Hooray!
**[05:22] Alya**
* If only the others*
* had taken it as seriously...*
**[05:26] Alya**
*No, that's not it.*
**[05:28] Alya**
*I was wrong to expect anything from them.*
**[05:32] Alya**
*I feel like nobody is ever as driven as I am.*
**[05:41] Alya**
*If that's the case,*
**[05:43] Alya**
*then I'll just do everything all by myself!*
**[06:02] (Flashback) Girl3**
Hey, hey.
**[06:03] (Flashback) Girl3**
Is it true you passed
that crazy difficult transfer exam?
**[06:07] (Flashback) Alya**
Y-Yeah, I guess I did.
**[06:09] (Flashback) Boy2**
Your Japanese is great, Kujo-san.
**[06:11] (Flashback) Boy2**
Have you lived in Japan before?
**[06:13] (Flashback) Alya**
Yes, I lived here until five years ago.
**[06:17] (Flashback) Girl3**
Talk to you later, Kujo-san!
**[06:24] (Flashback) Alya**
He slept through that racket?
**[06:27] (Flashback) Alya**
Hey, the warning bell's ringing.
**[06:32] (Flashback) Masachika**
Oh, you the transfer student who did
that speech at the opening ceremony?
**[06:37] (Flashback) Alya**
Yes, that's me.
**[06:39] (Flashback) Alya**
I'm Alisa Mikhailovna Kujo. Nice to meet you.
**[06:43] (Flashback) Masachika**
Hi. I'm Kuze Masachika.
**[06:46] (Flashback) Masachika**
Nice to meet you too...
**[06:50] (Flashback) Masachika**
Oh?
**[06:50] (Flashback) Masachika**
Heya, Hikaru. Didn't know
you were in this class.
**[06:53] (Flashback) Hikaru**
I am.
**[06:54] (Flashback) Hikaru**
Takeshi's here too, by the way.
**[06:57] (Flashback) Masachika**
So he is.
***SIGN*** Science
**[07:02] (Flashback) Masachika**

Sure.
***SIGN*** Science
***SIGN*** P.E.
**[07:12] (Flashback) Girl3**

*Wha...*

**[07:21] Alya**

Haunted House
Confirmed!
**[07:35] (Flashback) Takeshi**
Uh...
**[07:37] (Flashback) Takeshi**
We're gonna need shutters to make the paths.
**[07:39] (Flashback) Hikaru**
How are we getting costumes for all the ghosts?
**[07:41] (Flashback) Takeshi**
Wait, wait! One thing at a time!
**[07:44] (Flashback) Boyf**
Man, I had no idea it'd be so much work.
**[07:47] (Flashback) Boyd**
Same.
**[07:50] (Flashback) Girl3**
Not going home yet, Kujo-san?
**[07:52] (Flashback) Alya**
No, I'll work on this some more.
**[07:55] (Flashback) Girl3**
Yeah?
**[07:56] (Flashback) Girl3**
See you, then.
**[07:58] (Flashback) Girl2**
Are we gonna make it?
**[07:59] (Flashback) Girl3**
Who knows? But it's just
a school festival, anyway.
**[08:02] (Flashback) Girl3**
No point getting all worked up over it.
**[08:06] Alya**
*It's happening again.*
**[08:11] (Flashback) Alya**
Ouch!
**[08:15] Alya**
*I just want to do the best I can...*
**[08:19] Alya**
*and not throw in the towel.*
**[08:22] Alya**
*If that's going to leave me all alone,*
**[08:25] Alya**
*then fine, whatever.*
**[08:33] (Flashback) Munechika**
Figured you'd still be here.
**[08:36] (Flashback) Alya**
Kuze-kun? What are you doing here?
**[08:38] (Flashback) Masachika**
Hey. Just had a few things to take care of.
**[08:42] (Flashback) Masachika**
You should go home, Kujo-san.
**[08:45] (Flashback) Masachika**
We can all get together
and handle this stuff tomorrow.
**[08:48] (Flashback) Alya**
Don't mind me.
**[08:50] (Flashback) Alya**
I'll go home after I get some more done.
**[08:54] (Flashback) Masachika**
Yeah? Well, uh...
**[08:56] (Flashback) Masachika**
The handicrafts club agreed to
help us out with the costumes.
**[09:01] (Flashback) Alya**
Huh?
**[09:02] (Flashback) Masachika**
Check this out.
Permission to stay overnight at school.
**[09:05] (Flashback) Masachika**
A special event like that will light a fire
under the unmotivated folks, too.
**[09:10] (Flashback) Alya**
How did you pull that off?
**[09:12] (Flashback) Masachika**
Asked the former student council
president to pull some strings.
**[09:16] (Flashback) Masachika**
And I told the handicrafts club
our boys would help with their work.
**[09:20] (Flashback) Masachika**
If we frame it as a chance
to show off to the girls there,
**[09:24] (Flashback) Masachika**
the boys will gladly go for it.
**[09:28] (Flashback) Masachika**
That's the deal,
so you should really call it a day.
**[09:31] (Flashback) Masachika**
There's no point grinding away all on your own.
**[09:38] (Flashback) Alya**
What do you mean, "There's no point"?
**[09:41] (Flashback) Alya**
I just want to make this a good attraction
if I'm going to be participating in it!
**[09:47] (Flashback) Alya**
I don't want to put out something shoddy!
**[09:51] (Flashback) Alya**
I refuse to compromise on the quality!
***SIGN*** Haunted
**[09:55] (Flashback) Alya**
But I know that's just my ego talking!
**[10:00] (Flashback) Alya**
I get that you all don't care
about it as much as I do!
**[10:04] (Flashback) Alya**
That's why I'm taking on the load
and putting in all this effort!
**[10:07] (Flashback) Alya**
Am I doing anything wrong?!
**[10:13] (Flashback) Masachika**
You're putting effort into the wrong things.
**[10:16] (Flashback) Alya**
Huh?
**[10:17] (Flashback) Masachika**
School festival attractions
aren't meant to be built alone.
**[10:21] (Flashback) Masachika**
The whole point of them is for us all
to work together to create something.
**[10:24] (Flashback) Masachika**
If you wanna make it the best it can be,
**[10:26] (Flashback) Masachika**
then you should be focusing on how to
motivate the whole class, don't you think?
**[10:30] (Flashback) Alya**
But...
**[10:35] (Flashback) Masachika**
Well, I suppose putting it like that
would only piss you off.
**[10:43] (Flashback) Masachika**
My bad.
**[10:45] (Flashback) Masachika**
I get that you're doing
what you can, and I appreciate it.
**[10:57] (Flashback) Alya**
I'm leaving.
**[10:59] (Flashback) Masachika**
Great. Have a good night.
**[11:04] (Flashback) Alya**
What's with him?
**[11:05] (Flashback) Alya**
What's his problem?!
**[11:16] (Flashback) Alya**
What's his deal...
***SIGN*** Overnight Session!
**[11:20] (Flashback) Takeshi**
There you have it!
**[11:22] (Flashback) Takeshi**
We'll work on the festival stuff
**[11:24] (Flashback) Takeshi**
*and* have some hide-and-seek and
test-of-courage sessions on school grounds.
**[11:28] (Flashback) Takeshi**
We're gonna have
a pre-pre-pre-festival party all of our own!
**[11:32] (Flashback) All**
Yeah!

**[12:24] (Flashback) Masachika**
Oh, hey, Kujo-san.
**[12:27] (Flashback) Masachika**
This school can be old-fashioned
in the weirdest ways.
**[12:30] (Flashback) Masachika**
Who still holds a folk dance
for the after-party?
**[12:35] (Flashback) Alya**
May I sit here?
**[12:38] (Flashback) Masachika**
Sure, but aren't you gonna dance?
**[12:41] (Flashback) Masachika**
I'm sure everyone and their mother
wants to dance with you.
**[12:43] (Flashback) Masachika**
Oh, wait. Do you not know
how to folk dance or something?
**[12:46] (Flashback) Alya**
Rude. I practiced ballet as a child, you know.
**[12:50] (Flashback) Alya**
This simplistic dance
won't be a problem in the least.
**[12:54] (Flashback) Alya**
But I turned everyone down saying
I couldn't dance because I can't be bothered.
**[12:59] (Flashback) Masachika**
Fighting 'em off must've been a pain.
**[13:02] (Flashback) Alya**
Not really. I'm used to it,
so it wasn't a big deal.
**[13:06] (Flashback) Masachika**
You don't say.
**[13:07] (Flashback) Masachika**
That's our ice princess for you.
**[13:09] (Flashback) Alya**
What was that?
**[13:10] (Flashback) Masachika**
Wait, you didn't know?
**[13:11] Bgboy**
May I have this dance with you?
**[13:12] (Flashback) Masachika**
That's what the others
have taken to calling you lately.
**[13:16] (Flashback) Alya**
Huh.
**[13:17] (Flashback) Masachika**
You don't sound too pleased about it.
**[13:20] (Flashback) Alya**
Yeah. That's because I'm not.
**[13:23] (Flashback) Masachika**
Why's that? 'Cause they're
indirectly calling you a loner?
**[13:25] (Flashback) Alya**
That's not it. Can you stop
with that mocking tone?
**[13:30] (Flashback) Masachika**
Sorry.
**[13:31] (Flashback) Alya**
The "princess" part is what I take issue with.
**[13:35] (Flashback) Masachika**
Isn't that a compliment?
**[13:37] (Flashback) Alya**
It makes it sound like I'm a silver-spoon snob.
**[13:42] (Flashback) Masachika**
That's one way to look at it.
**[13:46] (Flashback) Alya**
Sure, I was born with
above-average looks and talent.
**[13:52] (Flashback) Alya**
But never once have I coasted by on that alone.
**[13:56] (Flashback) Alya**
It annoys me when all my efforts
get ignored in favor of my birth.
**[14:02] (Flashback) Masachika**
That makes sense.
**[14:03] (Flashback) Masachika**
I'll make sure not to call you that, then.
**[14:07] (Flashback) Alya**
Yeah?
**[14:10] (Flashback) Alya**
Thank you, Kuze-kun.
**[14:12] (Flashback) Masachika**
Hmm? For what?
**[14:14] Bggirl**
Can you even dance?
**[14:14] (Flashback) Alya**
You were right. I was wrong.
**[14:18] (Flashback) Alya**
If I'd tried to do it all alone,
**[14:20] (Flashback) Alya**
I would've never gotten to experience
the school festival this way.
**[14:25] (Flashback) Alya**
Also, I'm sorry for
lashing out at you the other day.
**[14:30] (Flashback) Masachika**
Don't let it bother you.
**[14:32] (Flashback) Masachika**
All I did was file some paperwork.
**[14:34] (Flashback) Masachika**
I didn't put in half the work
you or Takeshi did.
**[14:38] (Flashback) Alya**
But it does bother me.
**[14:40] (Flashback) Alya**
I want to apologize for that
**[14:42] (Flashback) Alya**
and repay you for all this in a tangible way.
**[14:47] (Flashback) Alya**
Is there anything you want?
**[14:49] (Flashback) Masachika**
"Repay me," eh?
**[14:51] (Flashback) Alya**
You're not allowed to refuse.
**[14:53] (Flashback) Masachika**
Hmm...
**[14:55] (Flashback) Masachika**
Wait, I got it!
**[14:57] (Flashback) Masachika**
Isn't there a Russian custom where people
call each other by special nicknames?
**[15:01] (Flashback) Alya**
Diminutives? What about them?
**[15:03] (Flashback) Masachika**
Alisha? Or would it be Aliska?
**[15:06] (Flashback) Alya**
Alya. That's what my family calls me.
**[15:10] (Flashback) Masachika**
Oh, yeah? How about you give me
permission to call you Alya, then?
**[15:15] (Flashback) Alya**
Huh? What's in it for you, though?
**[15:18] (Flashback) Masachika**
You're our class's idol,
the apple of everyone's eye.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Masachika**
And I get the glory of being
the only guy who calls you by your nickname!
**[15:24] (Flashback) Alya**
Are you okay in the head?
**[15:25] (Flashback) Masachika**
Thank you for this glorious gift!
**[15:27] (Flashback) Alya**
Gross!
**[15:28] (Flashback) Boy4**
E-Excuse me. Kujo-san?
**[15:31] (Flashback) Boy4**
Would you please dance with me?
**[15:34] (Flashback) Boy5**
Hey! Who said you could go first?!
**[15:36] (Flashback) Boy5**
Alisa-san! I've been
interested in you for a while now!
**[15:39] (Flashback) Boy5**
Please dance with me!
**[15:41] (Flashback) Boy6**
Dude, you practically asked her out! No fair!
**[15:44] (Flashback) Alya**
I'm sorry. I can't dance.
**[15:46] (Flashback) Boy5**
Come on! All you gotta do
is move with the music.
**[15:50] (Flashback) Boy6**
Yeah, you'll be fine!
I can't really dance either!
**[15:53] (Flashback) Boy6**
Just go with the vibes!
**[15:55] (Flashback) Alya**
Okay, you all need to calm down.
**[15:59] (Flashback) Masachika**
Sorry, boys, she's taken.
**[16:03] (Flashback) Masachika**
Let's go, Alya.
**[16:05] (Flashback) Alya**
H-Hey!
**[16:14] Alya**
*I can feel my heart about to explode.*
**[16:19] (Flashback) Masachika**
Oh, remember what you said?
**[16:22] (Flashback) Masachika**
You used to practice ballet,
so you can pick up folk dancing easily, right?
**[16:26] (Flashback) Alya**
Y-Yeah?
**[16:27] (Flashback) Masachika**
Let's see what you've got, then,
**[16:30] (Flashback) Masachika**
Princess.
**[16:34] (Flashback) Alya**
You're on!
**[16:46] (Flashback) Masachika**
Morning, Alya.
**[16:51] (Flashback) Masachika**
Hey, what's up? You're looking
at me like I'm human garbage.
**[16:55] (Flashback) Alya**
You waste of space.
**[16:56] (Flashback) Masachika**
Sharp-tongued, much?!

I get it now.
**[17:08] Masha**
That's what made you fall for him, huh?
What a lovely story!
**[17:12] Alya**
Again, it's not like that.
Were you even listening to me?
**[17:15] Masha**
What?
**[17:16] Masha**
That clearly sounded like
the start of a beautiful love story.
**[17:20] Alya**
Stop being weird about it.
I told you, we're friends.
**[17:24] Masha**
Ah, yes, from friends to lovers.
The classic progression.
**[17:30] Masha**
Sa-kun and I were like that, too.
**[17:33] Masha**
Weren't we?
**[17:36] Alya**
All that aside, you get it now.
**[17:39] Alya**
I know how capable he is, and I trust him.
**[17:43] Masha**
Boys who get things done
when it counts really do shine, huh?
**[17:47] Masha**
Sa-kun was the same.

Hey there, Kuze.

Thanks for coming to help.
**[18:08] Masachika**
Oh, I'm just here to cover for Yuki.
**[18:13] Masha**
My, so you're Kuze-kun?

I'm Mariya Mikhailovna Kujo.

**[18:22] Masha**
Nice to meet you.
**[18:23] Masachika**
Hello.
**[18:25] Masachika**
Alya's been a great friend to me.
**[18:28] Masachika**
I heard you needed someone
to go shopping with you, Kujo-senpai.
**[18:31] Masha**
Please, call me Masha.
**[18:34] Masha**
Any friend of Alya-chan's
is a friend to me, too.
**[18:39] Masachika**
Oh... Masha-san, then.
**[18:45] Masha**
Very good. Again,
it's a pleasure to meet... you?
**[18:51] Masachika**
Wh-What's wrong?
**[18:54] Masha**
Kuze-kun, what's your given name?
**[18:56] Masachika**
Huh? It's Masachika,
meaning "together with diplomacy."
**[19:03] Masha**
Masa... chika?
**[19:06] Toya**
What's wrong? Is there something behind Kuze?
**[19:10] Masachika**
Prez, shouldn't you ask if there's
something on my face first?
**[19:14] Toya**
Nice comeback!
**[19:18] Masha**
Oh, sorry about that.
**[19:21] Masha**
I was just so happy to meet Alya-chan's friend.
**[19:25] Masachika**
Right...
***SIGN*** Right, shall we get going?
**[19:31] Masachika**

Oh, right, sorry. I said, "Shall we get going?"
**[19:40] Masachika**
Oh, sure.
**[19:42] Masha**
See you later, President.
**[19:44] Toya**
Yeah, take care of it.
**[19:49] Masha**
How about this aromatic here?
**[19:50] Masachika**
I don't think that's
a good idea for the office.
**[19:53] Masachika**
That belongs more in your own room.
**[19:55] Masha**
Gosh!
**[19:58] Masha**
Look at this kitty plushie!
**[20:00] Masha**
It looks just like Alya-chan!
**[20:04] Masha**
I've got it!
**[20:05] Masha**
How about getting a plushie that
resembles each student council officer?
**[20:10] Masachika**
Are you trying to build a theme park?
**[20:12] Masachika**
The girls may like it, but I bet it'll
make the prez uncomfortable as hell.
**[20:18] Masha**
For him,
**[20:19] Masha**
we'll get this bespectacled lion over here.
**[20:22] Masachika**
Listen, seriously...
**[20:23] Masachika**
Wait, that does look like him!
**[20:25] Masha**
We'll get this, then.
**[20:27] Masachika**
Sure, it looks like him,
but I don't think plushies are gonna fly.
**[20:31] Masha**
What...
**[20:32] Masachika**
Right back at you.
**[20:36] Masha**
Fine.
**[20:38] Masha**
But I'll get this kitty for myself. It's cute.
**[20:42] Masachika**
Better not get it on the same receipt.
**[20:44] Masachika**
Alya'll get mad at you. She's the treasurer.
**[20:51] Masachika**
*Help. She's way too eccentric.*
**[20:54] Masachika**
*Is she always like this?*
**[20:57] Masachika**
* If she is, then Alya must've*
* gone through a lot.*
**[21:04] Masha**
This is the place, Kuze-kun.
**[21:06] Masachika**
Oh, okay. I'll hold that for you.
**[21:10] Masha**
Thank you.
**[21:11] Masha**
Take care of Alya-nyan for me.
**[21:15] Masachika**
A...
**[21:16] Masachika**
Alya-nyan?
**[21:19] Masha**
My, you two look great together.
**[21:21] Masachika**
I have doubts about your tastes.
**[21:23] Masha**
Say cheese.
**[21:25] Masachika**
Oh, no you don't.
**[21:26] Masha**
Come on, what's the big deal?
**[21:29] Masachika**
Aren't we here to pick up tea?
**[21:31] Masha**
Ugh, fine.
**[21:36] Teamans**
Here.
**[21:37] Masha**
Thank you.
**[21:39] Teamans**
These leaves are first flush,
so they have a slight bitterness.
**[21:41] Masha**
Say, Kuze-kun.
**[21:43] Masha**
What do you think?
**[21:45] Masachika**
Uh, I'm not really an expert in red teas.
**[21:48] Masha**
No?
**[21:51] Masachika**
* Yuki could probably chime in.*
* That mother of ours has taught her a lot.*
**[21:57] Masachika**
But I...
**[21:59] (Flashback) Kyotaro**
I'm sorry, Masachika.
**[22:01] (Flashback) Kyotaro**
Your mother and I have
decided to live separately.
**[22:07] (Flashback) Masachika**
Okay.
**[22:09] (Flashback) Masachika**
Then I'll follow...
I'll choose to go with you, Dad.
**[22:18] (Flashback) Yuki**
I'm sorry, Nii-sama.
**[22:20] (Flashback) Yuki**
I'm going to stay here.
**[22:25] Masha**
Kuze-kun?
**[22:28] Masha**
Is something wrong?
**[22:29] Masachika**
N-No, it's nothing.
**[22:34] Masha**
You look terribly pained.
**[22:42] Masha**
It's okay.
**[22:44] Masha**
There, there.
**[22:47] Masachika**
*What is this feeling?*
**[22:49] Masachika**
*It's so familiar... and so relaxing.*
**[22:56] Masachika**
Ow! Hot!
**[22:58] Masha**
Oh?

M-Masha-san! The tea's touching my back!

**[00:05] Masha**
We're back.
**[00:08] Toya**
Hey, welcome back. Thanks...
**[00:11] Toya**
What's that thing you're holding?
**[00:14] Masha**
Isn't it cute?
**[00:15] Toya**
It certainly is,
**[00:18] Toya**
but please don't tell me
you're going to keep it here.
**[00:21] Masha**
May I?
**[00:23] Toya**
I beg you, please reconsider.
**[00:28] Masachika**
Here are the supplies we got.
**[00:30] Toya**
Let me see.
**[00:31] Toya**
Okay, perfectly ordinary supplies.
**[00:34] Toya**
You're a lifesaver, Kuze.
**[00:36] Toya**
Who knows what the elder Kujo would've
done if left to her own devices?
**[00:41] Masachika**
The student council office
would've become a theme park.
**[00:46] Toya**
Well, Kuze? Changed your mind
on joining the student council yet?
**[00:50] Masachika**
No, though I wouldn't mind
helping out occasionally.
**[00:53] Masha**
Then why not join on paper?
**[00:58] Toya**
I'm glad you agree with
bringing him on, Elder Kujo.
**[01:00] Masachika**
"On paper"? Come on now...
**[01:03] Masachika**
And I understand Yuki wanting me to join,
**[01:06] Masachika**
but why are you so set on bringing me on, Prez?
**[01:10] Toya**
Why are *you* so set on not joining?
**[01:13] Toya**
Something tells me there's more
to it than all the work involved.
**[01:17] Masachika**
I'm not worthy of being
a student council officer.
**[01:22] Toya**
"Not worthy"? I can't say I agree.
**[01:25] Toya**
After all, you were a fine vice president
for the middle school's student council.
**[01:32] Masachika**
That experience is what proved it to me.
**[01:35] Masachika**
I didn't have any suitable goals that I could
use that position of power to achieve.
**[01:42] Toya**
And what's wrong with that?
**[01:44] Masachika**
Huh?
**[01:45] Toya**
I became student council president
to win the heart of the girl I love.
**[01:51] Toya**
A reason far more improper
than any you may have.
**[01:58] Masachika**
Wait, really?
**[02:00] Toya**
Take a look at this.
**[02:03] Masachika**
Is that your younger brother?

**[03:44] Toya**
Surprised?
**[03:45] Masachika**
Y-Yeah.
**[03:47] Masachika**
Quite the transformation, I must say.
**[03:50] Toya**
You could judge me by my cover two years ago.
**[03:53] Toya**
My grades sucked, I was terrible at sports,
**[03:56] Toya**
and I didn't like school very much, honestly.
**[04:00] Toya**
But then I had to go and fall for
**[04:02] Toya**
one of the two great beauties
in our grade, a girl way out of my league.
**[04:06] Masachika**
You mean your girlfriend?
**[04:09] Toya**
Yeah, Sarashina Chisaki, the vice president.
**[04:13] Toya**
I worked my butt off to become
a man worthy of being her boyfriend.
**[04:19] Toya**
Becoming student council president
was part of that.
**[04:23] Toya**
Pretty improper, see?
**[04:27] Masachika**
I guess so.
**[04:29] Toya**
The point is, you don't need
a "suitable" reason.
**[04:32] Toya**
Even Elder Kujo over there only joined
because Chisaki asked her to.
**[04:37] Masachika**
Was that it?
**[04:39] Masha**
Yeah. Though I was interested in it before.
**[04:45] Masha**
I think it doesn't matter why you join,
only what you do in your time here.
**[04:51] Masha**
You can join for love or friendship
**[04:54] Masha**
as long as you work to make
things better for the students.
**[04:59] Masachika**
Is that how it works?
**[05:01] Masha**
That's how it should work.
**[05:03] Masha**
Otherwise, only saints could ever
hold positions of power.
**[05:09] Masachika**
You make a good point.
**[05:12] Toya**
There you have it.
**[05:14] Toya**
Together with Suou,
**[05:15] Toya**
you made things better as middle school
student council vice president.
**[05:19] Toya**
Hold your head high. You have
absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

Don't wanna. Sounds like a pain.
**[05:34] (Flashback) Yuki**
What? But you're my brother!
**[05:40] Toya**
If you want to join the student
council to make someone president,
**[05:44] Toya**
that's perfectly fine.
**[05:46] Toya**
Chisaki, Elder Kujo, and I
will welcome you with open arms.
**[05:49] Toya**
We won't hear a word against it.
**[05:52] Masachika**
I'll think about it.
**[05:55] Toya**
Sure, take all the time you need.
**[05:57] Toya**
Such is the privilege of young'uns.
**[05:59] Masha**
You say that like you're
not a "young'un" yourself.
**[06:02] Masha**
Honestly, you don't
really look your age, though.
**[06:07] Toya**
I get that a lot.
**[06:08] Toya**
I was mistaken for a graduate student recently.
**[06:11] Masha**
You do have this weird air of importance.
**[06:11] Masachika**
*"To make someone president," huh?*
**[06:15] Toya**
Do I now?
**[06:16] Masachika**
Wait, where's Alya right now?
**[06:19] Toya**
Oh, she's off mediating a dispute
between the baseball and soccer teams.
**[06:23] Masachika**
What dispute?
**[06:25] Toya**
The baseball team has inter-school
matches every year around this time,
**[06:29] Toya**
and they use the school field to prepare.
**[06:31] Toya**
But the soccer team has entered
the regional qualifiers this year.
**[06:34] Toya**
So they asked for permission
to use the school field instead.
**[06:38] Masachika**
And Alya's gone to mediate between the two?
**[06:41] Toya**
Yeah. Neither team is backing down.
**[06:45] Toya**
The baseball team has
pro scouts coming to observe.
**[06:48] Masha**
That reminds me... The baseball team's
captain was featured on TV.
**[06:53] Toya**
He's well-known around
these parts as the future of the team.
**[06:56] Toya**
It's usually Chisaki in charge of
these inter-club disputes,
**[07:00] Toya**
but she's away on important
kendo club business.
**[07:03] Toya**
So I sent the younger Kujo, hoping it'd
serve as good experience for her,
**[07:08] Toya**
but it sounds like she's having trouble.

**[07:29] Soccergoalie**
Again, home advantage is very real in soccer.
**[07:32] Baseballcrew**
Plan better, then.
**[07:34] Baseballcrew**
We scheduled this months ago
because we have these matches every year.
**[07:38] Soccerbrown**
It's basically just a stupid
friendly match, right?
**[07:41] Baseballspike**
Hell no!
**[07:42] Alya**
Calm down, everybody.
**[07:44] Alya**
Putting each other down
isn't going to solve anything.
**[07:47] Soccergoalie**
You got a better idea, then?
**[07:49] Alya**
How about using the riverside
park nearby to practice?
**[07:54] Baseballcrew**
Huh? The riverside?
**[07:57] Soccergoalie**
Hey, it has a baseball field. There you go.
**[08:01] Baseballcrew**
Screw you! You know it has a soccer field, too!
**[08:04] Soccerbrown**
We'd be in better shape
using the school field.
**[08:07] Baseballspike**
Well, the same goes for us.
**[08:09] Baseballcrew**
Our futures are riding on this game!
**[08:12] Soccerbrown**
Can you stop being selfish for one second?
**[08:14] Soccergoalie**
Like, the soccer team
has way more members than you.
**[08:19] Soccergoalie**
You'd have a much easier time
relocating to the riverside.
**[08:21] Baseballspike**
That's not our problem.
**[08:22] Alya**
Calm down, please!
**[08:23] Baseballcrew**
Quit running your mouths!
**[08:25] Alya**
*Nobody...*
**[08:25] Baseballcrew**
Can you guarantee this won't have
a negative effect on our future prospects?
**[08:27] Alya**
*None of them will listen to me.*
**[08:30] Alya**
*I...*
**[08:32] Alya**
* I really don't have*
* what it takes to influence people.*
**[08:40] Alya**
*"If trusting people means I'll regret it later,*
**[08:44] Alya**
*I'd much rather do things alone.*
**[08:47] Alya**
*Nobody can keep up with me, anyway."*
**[08:54] Alya**
* Saying that, I've looked down*
* on people, pushed them away,*
**[08:58] Alya**
*and refused to ever reach out to them.*
**[09:00] Alya**
*And I'm paying for it now.*
**[09:03] Alya**
*Who would ever listen to a person like that?*
**[09:09] Alya**
* Someone who can only talk down to*
* them about what is "right" and "wrong"?*
**[09:15] Alya**
*I'm all alone.*
**[09:19] Alya**
*I know that. I get it.*
**[09:22] Alya**
*I chose this for myself.*
**[09:25] Alya**
*But... still...*
***SIGN*** Help.
***SIGN*** Somebody...
***SIGN*** Please help me.
**[09:39] Masachika**
Heya!
**[09:43] Masachika**
Sorry to interrupt.
**[09:46] Masachika**
The student council sent me as backup.
**[09:49] Masachika**
I'm Kuze Masachika,
student council general affairs.
**[09:56] (Flashback) Baseballcrew**
Our futures are riding on this game!
***SIGN*** Soccer Team
**[09:59] (Flashback) Soccerbrown**
Can you stop being selfish for one second?
**[10:01] (Flashback) Soccergoalie**
Like, the soccer team has
way more members than you.
**[10:06] (Flashback) Soccergoalie**
You'd have a much easier time
relocating to the riverside.
**[10:09] Baseballspike**
That's not our problem.
**[10:09] (Flashback) Alya**
Calm down, please!
**[10:10] Baseballcrew**
Quit running your mouths!
**[10:13] (Flashback) Masachika**
This ain't gonna work, Alya.
**[10:17] Masachika**
*Both sides are too heated.*
**[10:20] Masachika**
* They should go away*
* and discuss this another time.*
**[10:23] Masachika**
*I feel bad for her, but it's good experience.*
**[10:27] (Flashback) Masachika**
Hang in there, Alya.
***SIGN*** Help.
***SIGN*** Somebody...
***SIGN*** Please help me.
**[10:40] (Flashback) Masachika**
This is why you're all alone. You say these
things in a language nobody understands.
***SIGN*** Sure.
***SIGN*** I've got you.
**[10:52] Alya**
Kuze-kun?
**[10:54] Baseballcrew**
Kuze? The one who was
vice president back in middle school?
**[10:59] Masachika**
The president gave me the gist of it.
**[11:02] Masachika**
The issue is who gets the field and
who has to practice riverside. Is that right?
**[11:08] Baseballcaptain**
Yeah, that's right.
**[11:10] Masachika**
Thank you.
**[11:12] Masachika**
How about this, then?
**[11:14] Masachika**
The baseball team will practice riverside,
given they have fewer members to move.
**[11:19] Masachika**
In exchange, the bigger soccer team
**[11:22] Masachika**
will send people
to help with the whole process.
**[11:26] Soccergoalie**
To help? What the heck?
**[11:28] Baseballcrew**
Why do we get booted to the riverside?
**[11:32] Baseballspike**
Yeah, why?
**[11:33] Baseballspike**
We're not having that!
**[11:34] Alya**
Stay calm!
**[11:37] Soccerbrown**
We've got too many people to move!
**[11:39] Soccerbrown**
We can't do it!
**[11:40] Baseballspike**
We've got too much equipment!
**[11:42] Soccerchiefmanager**
Hey.
**[11:43] Soccerchiefmanager**
In that case, us managers
will go help out the baseball team.
**[11:48] Soccerchiefmanager**
Is that okay?
**[11:49] Soccermanager2**
Huh? Yeah?
**[11:51] Soccermanager1**
If that'll get us out of this mess.
**[11:55] Baseballspike**
I guess it'd be nice if the soccer
team's managers came to help.
**[11:59] Baseballcrew**
Y-Yeah, it would.
**[12:02] Soccerbrown**
Tch. You sure changed your tune quick.
**[12:05] Soccerchiefmanager**
They're letting us use the field.
It's the least we could do.
**[12:10] Soccerbrown**
Yeah, I guess.
**[12:14] Baseballcaptain**
We're okay with those terms. What do you say?
**[12:18] Soccercaptain**
That works.
**[12:21] Masachika**
Great. That's that.
**[12:24] Masachika**
Both teams, please come to the student
council with your formal requests tomorrow.
**[12:43] Masachika**
Uh... My bad.
**[12:46] Masachika**
For sticking my nose in there
and hurrying things along.
**[12:50] Masachika**
I made you look bad.
**[12:54] Alya**
It's fine.
**[12:56] Alya**
Why did you make that proposal?
**[12:59] Alya**
It should've been clear that
the baseball team wouldn't agree to it.
**[13:04] Alya**
It seemed to me like you knew
that manager would offer to help.
**[13:11] Masachika**
Oh? I'm impressed you realized.
**[13:13] Alya**
Of course I would.
**[13:15] Alya**
You were staring at her the whole time
the baseball team was complaining.
**[13:23] Masachika**
You see, that manager is dating
the baseball team's captain.
**[13:29] Alya**
What?
**[13:30] Masachika**
You wouldn't know, huh?
**[13:33] Masachika**
The baseball team's star
and the pretty manager.
**[13:36] Masachika**
When news of their relationship got out,
it was all anyone could talk about.
**[13:41] Alya**
Oh...
**[13:43] Masachika**
You know how the captain wasn't
saying a word during the whole thing?
**[13:47] Masachika**
He wanted to help his girlfriend,
**[13:49] Masachika**
but as captain, he had to
keep his priorities straight.
**[13:52] Masachika**
And it was awkward for her because she
knew the soccer team was asking for a lot.
**[13:58] Masachika**
So I knew that she would jump on that proposal.
**[14:03] Alya**
It was a bridge over troubled water, then?
**[14:06] Masachika**
For the two of them, yeah.
**[14:08] Masachika**
But, hey, the baseball team gets some
cute girls helping them with practice.
**[14:15] Masachika**
The soccer team gets to use the school ground.
**[14:18] Masachika**
Those two get to have practice
dates across club lines.
**[14:23] Masachika**
Killing three birds with one stone.
**[14:29] Masachika**
Hmm? Prez?
**[14:31] Toya**
Hey. Did you reach a conclusion?
**[14:35] Masachika**
Yeah.
**[14:36] Alya**
Kuze-kun made it all happen.
**[14:39] Toya**
Great. Good job hanging in there, Younger Kujo.
**[14:43] Masachika**
Did you plan all that?
**[14:45] Toya**
Hmm? Not really, no.
**[14:48] Masachika**
Should've played dumb. That response
proves you knew exactly what I meant.
**[14:52] Toya**
Oops. You got me there.
**[14:59] Toya**
Well? Have you made up your mind?
**[15:02] Masachika**
Yeah, I have.
**[15:04] Masachika**
I, Kuze Masachika, will have the honor of
being a member of the student council.
**[15:11] Toya**
Sweet. It's great to have you.
**[15:15] Toya**
Come to the office right away, then.
**[15:22] Masachika**
I feel like I got played, and I don't like it.
**[15:26] Masachika**
But I guess it's time
I resigned myself to my fate.
***SIGN*** Student Council Application Form
**[15:29] (Flashback) Toya**
It's getting late, so fill out this form
and bring it in tomorrow.
**[15:34] Masachika**
So, what, was he gonna make me
fill it out on the spot if we had time?
**[15:39] Alya**
Say...
**[15:41] Masachika**
What's up?
**[15:46] Alya**
Are you really joining the student council?
**[15:49] Masachika**
Yeah.
**[15:50] Alya**
Are you doing it to stand in the student
council presidential election with Suou-san?
**[15:57] Masachika**
What if I am?
**[15:58] Masachika**
What will you do?
**[16:00] Masachika**
Will you give up on being president?
**[16:02] Alya**
No.
**[16:04] Alya**
I will become student council president.
**[16:07] Alya**
Even if it means going up against you,
**[16:10] Alya**
I will never back down.
**[16:15] Masachika**
*Figures.*
**[16:18] Masachika**
* You've always been driven*
* and unwavering like that.*
**[16:24] Masachika**
Yeah?
**[16:26] Masachika**
Then I'll make you student council president.
**[16:29] Alya**
Huh?
**[16:30] Masachika**
If it's what you want, I'll do everything
in my power to make you president.
**[16:35] Masachika**
I'll make sure you never stand alone again.
**[16:37] Masachika**
I'll be there with you and for you.
**[16:42] Masachika**
So...
**[16:46] Masachika**
Shut up and take my hand, Alya!
**[17:09] Masachika**
We're a team now, Alya.
**[17:13] Alya**
Thank you.
**[17:15] Alya**
я тебя люблю.
**[17:21] Masachika**
*Wh-What's going on?*
***SIGN*** Come up here, Masachka!
**[17:33] Masachika**
*Are you serious?*
**[17:34] Masachika**
*I still had it in me to feel this way?*
**[17:41] Masachika**
Ow, oww!
**[17:43] Masachika**
Wh-What?!
**[17:44] Alya**
Were you just thinking about some other girl?
**[17:47] Masachika**
H-How can you tell?
**[17:51] Masachika**
*Yikes, this is bad! Very bad!*
**[17:53] Masachika**
*Flashing back to a girl in your past?*
**[17:55] Masachika**
* That's #2 on the list of things a rom-com MC*
* should never do in a confession scene!*
***SIGN*** #1: Ask her to repeat what she said.
**[18:03] Alya**
Tell me.
**[18:04] Masachika**
Y-Yes?
**[18:05] Alya**
You just finished telling me
you'd be there for me, right?
**[18:10] Masachika**
Huh? Y-Yes.
**[18:12] Masachika**
I did say that.
**[18:14] Alya**
And in the very next moment,
you were thinking about Suou-san?
**[18:18] Masachika**
No, it wasn't Yuki.
**[18:19] Alya**
Huh...
**[18:21] Masachika**
Whoa! That seriously hurts!
**[18:23] Alya**
Kuze-kun!
**[18:24] Masachika**
Yes, ma'am?
**[18:25] Alya**
If you want me to overlook this,
shut up and take my hand!
**[18:36] Masachika**
Nice slap.
**[18:38] Alya**
Jerk.
**[18:47] Masachika**
Let's go home, yeah?
**[18:48] Alya**
Yes, let's.
**[18:52] Masachika**
That's the first time a girl's ever slapped me.
**[18:56] Masachika**
I've gained more XP as a man.
**[19:00] Alya**
Did you hit your head when you fell?
**[19:03] Masachika**
My brain's perfectly fine, okay?
**[19:05] Alya**
Right. I forgot that "barely functioning"
is your brain's default state.
**[19:09] Masachika**
What a thing to say to someone
who was considered a child prodigy.
**[19:13] Alya**
A prodigy? You?
**[19:17] Masachika**
Not buying it, huh?
**[19:23] Alya**
Is your cheek okay? Do you need ice?
**[19:26] Masachika**
Nah, it's fine. I just don't feel anything
on the left side of my face.
**[19:31] Alya**
That doesn't sound fine at all.
**[19:33] Masachika**
I was kidding, obviously.
**[19:36] Masachika**
It just stings a little.
**[19:39] Alya**
Okay...
**[19:47] Alya**
What's with the blank look?
That was only a cheek kiss.
**[19:51] Masachika**
Aren't those supposed to be cheek-to-cheek?
**[19:54] Alya**
That's right.
**[19:55] Masachika**
Uh, but...
**[19:57] Masachika**
*That felt like... Wait, which was it?*
**[20:01] Alya**
Okay, see you tomorrow.
**[20:03] Masachika**
Yeah, see you.
**[20:11] Masachika**
Huh?
**[20:12] Masachika**
Seriously, which one was it?
**[20:15] Masachika**
*Alya!*
**[20:17] Masachika**
*Say what you did in Russian so I know!*
**[21:32] Alya**
я тебя люблю.
***SIGN*** I love you.
**[21:34] Alya**
*Love?*
**[21:35] Alya**
**Love*?*
**[21:37] Alya**
*Who, Kuze-kun? Who, me?*
**[21:41] Alya**
Nope! N-O-P-E!
**[21:44] Alya**
No way! Not in a million years!
**[21:49] Alya**
I don't love Kuze-kun or anything.
**[21:52] Alya**
I just got caught up in the moment.
**[21:56] Alya**
That's it.
**[21:59] Alya**
* Let's say, hypothetically,*
* just for argument's sake,*
**[22:03] Alya**
*that I* am *in love with Kuze-kun.*
**[22:06] Alya**
* Even then, I have something*
* more important right now:*
**[22:09] Alya**
*becoming student council president.*
**[22:11] Alya**
* I should be focusing on*
* living up to his expectations.*
**[22:15] Alya**
* If I ignored that and*
* asked him out or something...*
**[22:20] Masachika**
Huh? You love me?
**[22:22] Masachika**
Uh, sorry.
**[22:23] Masachika**
That's not what I meant
when I said I'd be there for you.
**[22:31] Alya**
Don't get it wrong! It's not like
I love you or anything, okay?!
**[22:41] Masha**
I'm back.
**[22:43] Alya**
Welcome home, Masha.
**[22:47] Alya**
Masha? Did something happen?
**[22:49] Masha**
Huh? What do you mean?
**[22:51] Alya**
I mean...
**[22:56] Masha**
Something did happen! I met someone wonderful!
**[23:00] Alya**
What?
**[23:02] Masha**
Ta-da!
**[23:03] Masha**
Alya-nyan!
**[23:04] Alya**
A... Alya-nya... what?
**[23:07] Masha**
See! Doesn't it look just like you?
**[23:10] Alya**
How, exactly?!
**[23:12] Masha**
The expression in its eyes?
**[23:13] Alya**
I don't think a stuffed toy
can emote with its eyes.
**[23:16] Masha**
Aww...
**[23:19] Masha**
Oh, right, Alya-chan.
**[23:21] Masha**
About Kuze-kun.
**[23:23] Alya**
What about him?
**[23:26] Masha**
I just thought he was a very sweet boy.
**[23:29] Masha**
I can see why you would fall for him.
**[23:31] Alya**
Again, I am not in love with him.
**[23:34] Masha**
Really?
**[23:35] Alya**
Knock it off.
**[23:39] Masha**
Mhmm. Okay.
**[23:42] Masha**
I see how it is.
**[23:44] Masha**
You're cute when you hide your feelings.
**[23:47] Alya**
Wha?
**[23:49] Masha**
But you should hurry up
and tell him how you feel.
**[23:53] Masha**
Not much you can do if somebody
takes him away from you.
**[23:55] Alya**
Wh-What are you even talking about?
**[23:59] Masha**
Ah, to be young and in love.
**[24:06] Alya**
Seriously, what is with her?

**[00:04] Masachika**
Yikes, what was I thinking?
**[00:08] Masachika**
"I'll be there for you," my ass.
**[00:11] Masachika**
"Shut up and take my hand," my foot!
**[00:13] Masachika**
Gah, that was so corny!
**[00:19] Masachika**
Alya totally said "I love you"...
**[00:25] Masachika**
* Does that mean she was seriously*
* flirting in Russian all this time*
**[00:29] Masachika**
* and not just playing a solo game*
* of chicken going, "Does he know?"*
**[00:33] Masachika**
*But tonight came from the heart...*
**[00:37] Masachika**
Yeah, right!
**[00:39] Masachika**
She must've gotten caught up
in the moment like I did.
**[00:43] Masachika**
She's probably come back
down to earth and cringing hard by now.
**[00:47] Masachika**
Yeah, that must be it.
**[00:53] (Flashback) Yumi**
You have to work again?
You're never home these days!
**[00:58] (Flashback) Yumi**
Why do you always have to be like this?
**[01:00] (Flashback) Yumi**
Do you think apologizing
magically makes it okay?!
**[01:03] Masachika**
* Love is a flimsy and unreliable emotion.*
* Racking my brain over it is a waste of time.*
**[01:10] Masachika**
I'll be there for her?
**[01:12] Masachika**
Who, me? The guy who ran away and left
Yuki to carry on the Suou family name alone?
**[01:17] Masachika**
Ridiculous.
**[01:23] Masachika**
Didn't she say she was busy today?
**[01:27] Masachika**
*Wait.*
**[01:28] Masachika**
* If today's events were all carefully laid out*
* to get me to join the student council,*
**[01:32] Masachika**
*then of course Yuki would be in on it.*

**[03:15] Yuki**
Eek! Onii-chan, you perv!
**[03:18] Masachika**
You little twerp. You set this up, didn't you?
**[03:21] Yuki**
You realized, huh?
**[03:22] Masachika**
Of course I would.
**[03:24] Masachika**
I bet you got out when you heard me
closing the front door.
**[03:28] Yuki**
Not so fast, now.
**[03:31] Yuki**
Aren't you curious about why I did this?
**[03:34] Masachika**
We can talk after you put on your clothes.
**[03:36] Yuki**
Hear me out first, Masachika-kun.
**[03:39] Yuki**
I realized something crazy a few moments ago.
**[03:43] Masachika**
And what was it?
**[03:44] Yuki**
You see, we lived together for years,
**[03:50] Yuki**
but we never cleared the
"walking in on her changing" cutscene!
**[03:53] Masachika**
I expected dumb, but this is the dumbest!
**[03:55] Yuki**
All brothers walk in on their sisters
changing at least once in their lives!
**[03:59] Masachika**
Maybe in 2D! Calm your otaku brain!
**[04:01] Yuki**
I am not taking that from *you*!
**[04:03] Yuki**
Anyway, fan service shot! Squee!
**[04:07] Masachika**
What are you even looking at?
**[04:09] Yuki**
A camera that a dumbass like you can't see.
**[04:11] Masachika**
But you can, with your whole ass out?!
**[04:13] Yuki**
Anyway.
**[04:14] Yuki**
All jokes aside, this is my way of
making it up to you for tricking you today.
**[04:20] Masachika**
What makes you think showing
your naked body will make it up to me?
**[04:23] Yuki**
Whoa, easy there, fella.
**[04:26] Yuki**
You're talking a big game,
**[04:28] Yuki**
but I know you checked me out
from top to bottom, aight?
**[04:32] Masachika**
Yuki.
**[04:35] Masachika**
I'm going to let you in on a big secret.
**[04:39] Masachika**
A showoff is a turn-off.
**[04:42] Masachika**
Sneak peeks are where it's at.
**[04:47] Yuki**
Ah. You've shown me the light.
**[04:50] Masachika**
Yeap.
**[04:53] Yuki**
Hold it right there. You're not fooling anyone.
**[04:57] Yuki**
You looked, didn't ya?
**[04:58] Yuki**
You looked me up and down, didn't ya?
**[05:03] Masachika**
Only down to the chest.
**[05:05] Yuki**
Your Honor! This boob goblin just admitted it!
**[05:07] Masachika**
Shut it, you flasher!
**[05:11] Yuki**
By the way, bro.
**[05:14] Masachika**
What?
**[05:15] Masachika**
And why are you drying your hair
in my bedroom like you own the place?
**[05:20] Yuki**
Did Prez and Masha-senpai manage to
talk you into joining the student council?
**[05:28] Masachika**
Yeah, but there's a catch.
**[05:34] Masachika**
I've decided to push for Alya
to be student council president.
**[05:42] Yuki**
O...
**[05:44] Yuki**
Oh, no! Alya-san cucked me
and took my Onii-chan!
**[05:48] Masachika**
There was no cucking involved!
**[05:50] Yuki**
Damn you, you booba baboon!
**[05:52] Yuki**
Were my C-cups not enough to satisfy you?
**[05:56] Yuki**
You had to get bewitched by
Alya-san's E-cups (citation needed)?
**[06:00] Masachika**
Shut up about cup sizes! Too graphic!
**[06:03] Yuki**
You need to open your eyes, bra.
**[06:05] Yuki**
I mean, bro.
**[06:06] Yuki**
You know Cs that are okay to touch
are better than Es you can't!
**[06:10] Masachika**
Uh, I'm pretty sure neither are okay!
**[06:12] Yuki**
Come at me, bro! But be gentle!
**[06:16] Masachika**
Why do you sound so excited?!
**[06:19] Yuki**
What will it be? Will you
take your sister's first boob grab?
**[06:24] Masachika**
Shut your mouth.
**[06:26] Yuki**
Just kidding. You already took it
back in elementary.
**[06:31] Masachika**
I don't recall that.
**[06:33] Yuki**
Huh?
**[06:34] Masachika**
Huh? Seriously?
**[06:37] Yuki**
Onii-chan...
**[06:38] Yuki**
Did you forget?
**[06:40] Yuki**
That was back when I was in second grade.
**[06:45] Yuki**
We crashed into each other
during a game of tag,
**[06:48] Yuki**
and you dove into my thighs and
grabbed a handful of my right boob!
**[06:54] Masachika**
I sure as hell would remember it
if I caused that kind of miracle!
**[06:56] Masachika**
Quit fabricating the most cliched
of perving moments!
**[06:59] Yuki**
Tch.
**[07:00] Masachika**
Did you just "tch" at me?!
**[07:02] Masachika**
Yeesh. You could barely ever go out
back then due to how bad your asthma was.
**[07:08] Yuki**
And look how well I am now!
**[07:11] Yuki**
I haven't even caught a cold
since middle school!
**[07:14] Masachika**
I'd prefer it if you curbed
your energy a little bit, honestly.
**[07:16] Yuki**
I do! At home and in school!
**[07:20] Masachika**
Uh, sorry.
**[07:21] Yuki**
Don't be sorry! Spoil me instead!
**[07:29] Yuki**
All yours.
**[07:41] Yuki**
Ah... So you've decided to run with Alya-san.
**[07:47] Masachika**
Yeah.
**[07:48] Masachika**
I'm sorry.
**[07:49] Yuki**
Huh? It's nothing to apologize about.
**[07:53] Yuki**
A sibling rivalry? Now that's classic.
**[07:58] Masachika**
Just so we're clear,
I'm not sick of you or anything, okay?
**[08:03] Yuki**
I know.
**[08:05] Yuki**
I mean, you love me to death, right?
**[08:11] Masachika**
I guess.
**[08:12] Yuki**
Heh, you admitted it.
**[08:14] Masachika**
Shut it.
**[08:17] Yuki**
Okay, I'm good now.
**[08:19] Masachika**
Yeah?
**[08:20] Yuki**
Yeah, thanks.
**[08:23] Yuki**
Anyway, I guess we're rivals now.
**[08:28] Yuki**
Oh, right.
**[08:31] Yuki**
I'm an easy girl. I can overlook
a cheating episode or two.
**[08:35] Yuki**
So you can come back to me
anytime if you get tired of Alya-san.
**[08:39] Masachika**
Uh, quit calling it cheating.
**[08:42] Masachika**
And no, I'm not gonna do that.
**[08:45] Yuki**
Please. Quit acting like you're not gonna
come home to me at the end of the day.
**[08:49] Masachika**
What are you, The One?
**[08:53] Yuki**
Later.
**[08:54] Yuki**
Buh-bye!
**[09:00] Yuki**
Oh, so he found someone
who could motivate him.
**[09:05] Yuki**
Aww, sucks that I couldn't be the one to do it.
**[09:10] Yuki**
Not that it matters.
**[09:12] Yuki**
I'm still not gonna lose.
**[09:24] Masachika**
* It's unusual that she didn't come*
* make a huge scene to wake me up.*
**[09:27] Masachika**
*I guess she was hurt by my decision deep down.*
**[09:33] Masachika**
Yeah, no. Not her.
**[09:36] Masachika**
But I'd better try to make it up to her anyway.
**[09:48] Yuki**
If you thought this was gonna
end all sappy-like, think again!
**[09:51] Yuki**
I said I would do this,
and I always walk the talk!
**[09:55] Masachika**
Why, you little...
**[10:01] Yuki**
Huh?
**[10:08] Yuki**
Pull me out.
**[10:09] Masachika**
What?
**[10:10] Yuki**
I'm stuck.
**[10:12] Yuki**
Don't make me spell it out.
**[10:18] Yuki**
Wh-What are you doing?!
**[10:20] Masachika**
I'm gonna bury you alive, you punk!
**[10:22] Masachika**
To your grave!
**[10:25] Yuki**
This reeks of boy! It's gonna knock me up!
**[10:28] Masachika**
Like hell it will! What are you,
some kind of sheltered princess?!
**[10:30] Yuki**
I literally am though! Problem?!
**[10:37] Girl1**
Morning!
**[10:39] Girl1**
Did you catch the show last night?
**[10:40] Girl2**
Yeah, that was so good!
**[10:43] Girl1**
Right? It got me all warm and fuzzy!
**[10:52] Alya**
*What am I fretting about?*
**[10:54] Alya**
* I bet he's going to walk in*
* with a sleepy face like always.*
**[10:58] Alya**
*Just play it cool and act normal.*
**[11:00] Takeshi**
Hey there, Masachika.
**[11:02] Hikaru**
Morning, Masachika.
**[11:03] Masachika**
Hey, morning.
**[11:06] Masachika**
Morning, Alya.
**[11:07] Alya**
Good morning... Kuze-kun?
**[11:10] Masachika**
You prepping for class?
**[11:12] Alya**
Y-Yes, I am.
**[11:16] Masachika**
What's the matter?
**[11:17] Alya**
Huh? Nothing?
**[11:19] Masachika**
Yeah?
**[11:25] Hikaru**
Masachika, Takeshi and I were talking.
**[11:27] Hikaru**
We should go to karaoke sometime.
**[11:29] Masachika**
Sounds good. When?
**[11:31] Alya**
*He's not his usual self today.*
**[11:31] Hikaru**
Sometime this week?
***SIGN*** Alya
POV
**[11:34] Alya**
*He seems somewhat fragile...*
**[11:37] Alya**
*And it's kind of hot!*
**[11:40] Alya**
*Wait, what am I thinking?*
**[11:42] Alya**
* He probably just didn't get*
* enough sleep like always.*
**[11:50] Alya**
*He's not dozing off. Why?*
**[11:54] Alya**
*Is he seriously stepping up his game for me?*
**[12:00] (Flashback) Masachika**
I'll be there with you and for you.
**[12:04] Teammate**
Kujo-san!
***SIGN*** Team
***SIGN*** Team
**[12:16] Girls**
Awesome!
**[12:17] Girls**
So good!
**[12:18] Girls**
That was insane!
**[12:21] Boy1**
Kuze!
**[12:22] Boy2**
Hey, you okay?
**[12:25] Boy3**
He's out cold!
**[12:30] Masachika**
"The ball is my best friend"?
You lied to me, Tsubasa.
**[12:37] Masachika**
I'm starved.
**[12:39] Alya**
Kuze-kun, are you okay?
**[12:43] Masachika**
Alya?
**[12:44] Masachika**
What's up?
**[12:45] Alya**
I was worried you might be hurt.
**[12:49] Masachika**
You saw that, huh?
**[12:51] Alya**
Are you okay? Want to go to the nurse's office?
**[12:53] Masachika**
I'm fine. I just stepped outside
because it's too hot in the gym.
**[12:58] Masachika**
I'll go back in after a little break.
**[13:01] Alya**
Really?
**[13:02] Alya**
Let me see.
**[13:09] Alya**
This doesn't really tell me much.
**[13:12] Masachika**
Y-Yeah?
**[13:15] Masachika**
*E-cups... Is it true?*
**[13:18] Masachika**
*Wait. She said "citation needed."*
**[13:20] Masachika**
*They might be even bigger!*
**[13:38] Masachika**
*Yo, what? A peek at the pits?!*
**[13:40] Masachika**
*Is she doing this on purpose?!*
**[13:44] Masachika**
* You see now, Yuki?*
* Sneak peeks really are where it's at.*
**[13:51] Alya**
What?
**[13:52] Masachika**
Uh, nothing!
**[13:55] Alya**
Anyway...
**[13:56] Alya**
You should drink some water.
**[13:58] Masachika**
Huh? R-Right.
**[14:09] Masachika**
*Oh...*
**[14:20] Alya**
Huh? Kuze-kun?!
**[14:22] Alya**
Wh-What are you doing?
**[14:25] Masachika**
Uh...
**[14:26] Masachika**
Just thought I should cool my head. Literally.
**[14:29] Alya**
O-Oh.
**[14:31] Masha**
My, if it isn't Kuze-kun.
**[14:33] Masha**
What's this? A man dripping with
charisma from head to toe, are we?
**[14:38] Masachika**
Hey there, Masha-san.
**[14:40] Masachika**
I was just cooling off. Nothing to worry about.
**[14:43] Masha**
What's up? Do you see something in the sky?
**[14:46] Masachika**
I see clouds.
**[14:48] Masha**
As do I.
**[14:50] Alya**
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
**[14:54] Masachika**
* I have gained a new appreciation*
* for gym uniforms.*
**[14:59] Masha**
You're soaked. Do you have a towel?
**[15:02] Masachika**
Nah. I'll just let the sun do its job.
**[15:06] Masha**
Okay, bend down for me.
**[15:10] Masachika**
*Wh-What's going on?*
**[15:12] Masachika**
* I've never encountered*
* a scene like this in any media!*
**[15:15] Masha**
There.
**[15:16] Masha**
All done.
**[15:18] Masha**
Well? Feel better?
**[15:21] Masachika**
I do. And now I get how a dog feels.
**[15:24] Masha**
What kind? An Akita?
**[15:27] Masachika**
Uh, don't ask me about the breed.
**[15:29] Masachika**
Sorry for being a rowdy mutt.
**[15:33] Masha**
A naughty dog has its charms, you know.
**[15:37] Alya**
Come on.
**[15:38] Alya**
We're going back, Kuze-kun.
**[15:40] Alya**
You should get back to class too, Masha.
**[15:43] Masha**
Wha... I just got here.
**[15:47] Alya**
Too bad. We're heading back.
**[15:49] Masha**
Fine.
**[15:53] Masha**
See you after school.
**[15:55] Masachika**
Yeah, see you.
**[15:57] Masachika**
Thanks for the towel.
**[16:06] Masachika**
*Okay, I see where this is going.*
**[16:09] Masachika**
* She's gonna call me "creepy"*
* or "dirty" or something.*
**[16:13] Alya**
So, are you okay now?
**[16:17] Masachika**
Huh?
**[16:18] Alya**
I mean your head. Are you okay
not icing the part where the ball hit you?
**[16:25] Masachika**
Oh!
**[16:26] Masachika**
* She thinks I doused myself to cool off*
* the part where the ball hit me!*
**[16:31] Masachika**
Oh, yeah, I'm good.
I don't have a lump or anything.
**[16:36] Alya**
Really?
**[16:37] Masachika**
No, really, I'm fine!
**[16:40] Masachika**
* What's going on?*
* Why is she being so nice to me?*
**[16:43] Masachika**
*Has she entered her lovey-dovey phase?*
**[16:49] Masachika**
Uh, Alya-san?
**[16:51] Masachika**
Aren't you being awfully nice to me today?
**[16:55] Alya**
I mean...
**[16:56] Alya**
You haven't been yourself all day.
**[17:00] Alya**
I'm a little worried something's wrong, is all.
**[17:03] Masachika**
Hmm?
**[17:05] Masachika**
Oh... Ah.
**[17:07] Masachika**
*I guess I wasn't fully over letting Yuki down.*
**[17:12] Masachika**
Nah, nothing's wrong...
**[17:19] Masachika**
It's just, I skipped breakfast this morning.
**[17:24] Alya**
Wha?!
**[17:28] Alya**
Here I thought you were
paying attention in class for once,
**[17:32] Alya**
but you were simply
too hungry to fall asleep, huh?
**[17:35] Masachika**
No. That was because
I got a good night's sleep.
**[17:38] Alya**
Huh... Oh?
**[17:41] Alya**
*A good night's sleep, eh?*
**[17:43] Alya**
* I had so much trouble sleeping*
* after what happened last night.*
**[17:47] Alya**
* But this carefree clown ignored*
* all that and snored it up all night, did he?*
**[17:54] Alya**
*So that's how it is.*
**[17:57] Masachika**
H-Hear me out, Alya.
You know what the Lord has said?
**[18:01] Alya**
What, are you going to remind me
to love my neighbor?
**[18:05] Masachika**
Nah. The Lord has said,
**[18:08] Masachika**
"If anyone slaps you on the right cheek,
turn to them the other cheek also."
**[18:14] Masachika**
Is that a look of scorn
toward a masochistic pig I see?
**[18:17] Alya**
No, it's a look of scorn
toward a goofy good-for-nothing.
**[18:21] Alya**
Forget it! I was a fool for worrying about you!
**[18:24] Alya**
*What a jerk!*
**[18:25] Alya**
*There's no way I'm in love with this fool!*
**[18:31] Masachika**
*Great, there's the Alya I know.*
**[18:39] Masachika**
Alya-san? Can we go to
the student council office together?
**[18:55] Masachika**
*I may have crossed the line.*
**[18:59] Players**
Pardon us!
**[19:07] Masachika**
Hey, it's those guys from
the baseball and soccer teams.
**[19:12] Masachika**
Excuse us.
**[19:17] Chisaki**
Huh?
**[19:19] Masachika**
Sorry, wrong room.
**[19:28] Chisaki**
Sorry about that.
**[19:29] Chisaki**
I thought the guys from the baseball
and soccer teams came back for something.
**[19:34] Masachika**
Right...
**[19:35] Masachika**
Er, what did they do?
**[19:38] Chisaki**
My dear junior went to mediate their dispute.
**[19:41] Chisaki**
But they ignored her
and had a pathetic shouting match, I heard.
**[19:47] Chisaki**
So I knocked some—
**[19:50] Chisaki**
I mean, talked some sense into them.
**[19:51] Masachika**
I get it now.
**[19:53] Masachika**
I feel like bringing out your bamboo sword
may have been taking it too far, though.
**[19:57] Chisaki**
I-It's fine.
**[19:59] Chisaki**
My fists can be lethal,
but a bamboo sword's never killed anybody!
**[20:04] Masachika**
You don't say.
**[20:05] Chisaki**
The sword will break before it does.
**[20:10] Masachika**
*Sarashina-senpai. Well...*
**[20:13] Masachika**
*I've heard the boys call her "boss" before,*
**[20:17] Masachika**
*and now I see why.*
**[20:20] Chisaki**
Toya!
**[20:23] Toya**
Relax a little, Kuze.
**[20:25] Toya**
Chisaki didn't do any violence.
**[20:28] Toya**
She simply used the threat of
violence to get them to behave.
**[20:31] Chisaki**
Hey, Toya?!
**[20:34] Chisaki**
Jeez, you jerk!
**[20:36] Toya**
My bad.
**[20:38] Masachika**
*Gee, what an adorable sight.*
**[20:40] Chisaki**
Why, you...
**[20:42] Chisaki**
You... you!
**[20:43] Toya**
Chisaki? You're gonna dislocate my shoulder.
**[20:44] Chisaki**
Jerk! Jerk! Jerk!
**[20:47] Masachika**
*But is it really, though?*
**[20:50] Masha**
Sorry, am I late?
**[20:55] Masha**
Oh, my.
**[20:56] Masha**
Don't play around too much in the office, okay?
**[20:59] Chisaki**
Th-That's not what we were doing!
**[21:02] Chisaki**
S-Sorry. Did that hurt?
**[21:05] Toya**
Hmm? Oh, don't worry.
**[21:08] Toya**
You happened to magically
fix my recent stiff shoulders.
**[21:11] Chisaki**
I'm really sorry.
I can't control my power too well.
**[21:15] Masachika**
We've got one of warrior blood among us.
**[21:17] Toya**
Relax. I've been building my body to handle it.
**[21:21] Toya**
Come at me all you want.
**[21:23] Chisaki**
Toya...
**[21:24] Masachika**
Huh? What about that was romantic?
**[21:29] Alya**
Watch your mouth, will you?
**[21:33] Masachika**
Say, you know how the boys
call Sarashina-senpai "boss"?
**[21:37] Masachika**
Do you think she wears a sash in there?
**[21:39] Alya**
Why would you think that?
**[21:41] Masachika**
I just figured that if she did,
**[21:43] Masachika**
that'd make it a Sash in a Sarashina-senpai.
**[21:47] Masha**
Wow, aren't you two close?
**[21:51] Alya**
How so?
**[21:52] Masachika**
Hmph. It seems your sister has seen through us.
**[21:57] Masachika**
And how close we are.
**[21:59] Alya**
Eww.
**[22:01] Yuki**
Excuse me.
**[22:04] Yuki**
I apologize for being late.
**[22:07] Toya**
Don't worry about it, Suou.
**[22:11] Toya**
Let's begin the student council meeting, then.
**[22:15] All**
Let's do this.
**[22:17] Toya**
Okay, Kuze. Could you introduce yourself?
**[22:21] Masachika**
Sure.
**[22:23] Masachika**
I'm Kuze Masachika, and I'll be handling
general affairs for the student council.
**[22:29] Masachika**
Next year, Kujo Alisa here and I...
**[22:32] Masachika**
will be running mates
in the presidential election.
**[22:36] Masachika**
I look forward to working with you all.

**[00:02] Masachika**
I'm an avid consumer of otaku media.
**[00:05] Masachika**
You can talk to me about most of
the popular anime or manga out there.
**[00:09] Masachika**
That's all.
**[00:10] Toya**
Thank you.
**[00:12] Toya**
That makes you an official member
of the student council.
**[00:15] Toya**
For today, could you shadow
the elder Kujo and help her out?
**[00:18] Masachika**
Sure.
**[00:20] Toya**
Thanks for that.
**[00:21] Toya**
While I'm sure you'll adapt in no time
thanks to your experience as vice president,
**[00:27] Toya**
I want you to work with the other
members while you learn the ropes.
**[00:31] Masachika**
Are we short-staffed or something?
**[00:33] Toya**
Yeah, disastrously so.
**[00:36] Yuki**
I apologize for interrupting...
**[00:38] Yuki**
But I think I'll head over to the art club
to discuss their upcoming exhibit.
**[00:44] Toya**
Yeah, take care of that.
**[00:45] Yuki**
I will.
**[00:47] Yuki**
Related to that,
**[00:49] Yuki**
I'm sure we'll end up discussing the budget,
**[00:51] Yuki**
so I'd like to ask Alisa-san,
the treasurer, to accompany me.
**[00:55] Alya**
Huh?
**[00:58] Alya**
I understand.
**[01:00] Alya**
I'll be gone for a bit, President.
**[01:02] Toya**
Sure. Go crunch those numbers.
**[01:08] Masachika**
*Something's about to go down.*

* I feel like I should*
* bring it up myself.*
**[02:52] Alya**
Suou-san.
**[02:55] Alya**
Do you have a moment to talk?
**[02:57] Yuki**
Of course.
**[02:59] Yuki**
Instead of doing it here,
**[03:00] Yuki**
why don't we use
that empty classroom for a bit?
**[03:07] Alya**
I'm going to run for president
together with Kuze-kun.
**[03:11] Yuki**
Yes, I'm aware.
**[03:14] Yuki**
Masachika-kun told me as much last night.
**[03:17] Alya**
He did?
**[03:20] Yuki**
Er, is that all?
**[03:22] Alya**
That is all. I have no intention of
apologizing, because I did nothing wrong.
**[03:28] Alya**
I simply wanted to give you the news in person.
**[03:33] Yuki**
Is that so?
**[03:35] Yuki**
Indeed, you have nothing to apologize for.
**[03:39] Yuki**
Masachika-kun chose this for himself.
**[03:44] Yuki**
I have no say in this decision,
**[03:47] Yuki**
nor do I have any intention
of taking any displeasure out on you.
**[03:52] Yuki**
However, I do find it regrettable
that he didn't choose me.
**[03:58] Alya**
Suou-san, do you...
**[04:02] Alya**
Nothing. Never mind.
**[04:04] Yuki**
Yes, I love him.
**[04:07] Yuki**
More than anyone in this whole wide world.
**[04:10] Alya**
R-Really?
**[04:12] Yuki**
Really.
**[04:14] Yuki**
I love Masachika-kun more than
I do Mother and Father, even.
**[04:23] Yuki**
What about you?
**[04:26] Yuki**
How do you feel about Masachika-kun?
**[04:29] Alya**
M-Me?
**[04:33] Alya**
Kuze-kun's my friend.
**[04:36] Alya**
A-And a very dear one, at that.
**[04:39] Yuki**
Do you like him?
**[04:41] Yuki**
Well? Are you in love with him?
**[04:45] Alya**
I'm... not talking about that sort of thing.
**[04:50] Yuki**
Well, I just told you how much I love him.
**[04:52] Yuki**
Now it's your turn.
**[04:54] Yuki**
Make yourself clear.
**[05:02] Alya**
I can't say if I'm in love with him or not,
**[05:06] Alya**
but I won't let you have him.
**[05:09] Alya**
He's mine!
**[05:15] Yuki**
Is that so?
**[05:17] Yuki**
I'm satisfied with getting
that much out of you today.
**[05:24] Yuki**
Let's head on over to the art club.
**[05:26] Alya**
Y-Yeah.
**[05:30] Yuki**
Oh, right, while we're here...
**[05:33] Yuki**
If you don't mind, may I call you Alya-san?
**[05:36] Yuki**
Hearing Masha-senpai
and Masachika-kun call you that
**[05:40] Yuki**
made me want to use
that lovely nickname as well.
**[05:42] Alya**
I don't particularly mind.
**[05:45] Yuki**
In return, please call me Yuki.
**[05:51] Alya**
Yuki... san.
**[05:53] Yuki**
I appreciate it.
**[05:57] Alya**
I...
**[05:58] Alya**
I feel like I said something crazy back there.
**[06:04] Masachika**
Masha-san, can you check this part?
**[06:06] Masha**
Oh, that's an error.
**[06:09] Masachika**
Yeah, I thought so. I'll fix it.
**[06:13] Masha**
Please do.
**[06:16] Masachika**
*Much to my surprise,*
**[06:18] Masachika**
*she's like a well-oiled machine at work.*
**[06:21] Masachika**
*On the other hand...*
**[06:24] Chisaki**
Huh? Where did I see this?
**[06:29] Chisaki**
What? Why?!
**[06:32] Toya**
Uh, Chisaki?
**[06:34] Toya**
I hear they're doing a large-scale
restock over at the library,
**[06:37] Toya**
and they're looking for people to help.
**[06:39] Chisaki**
I got it!
**[06:45] Toya**
Sorry about this, Kuze.
**[06:47] Toya**
Chisaki is more or less always like that.
**[06:49] Toya**
Still, she's a force to be reckoned with
in club and committee discussions.
**[06:54] Masachika**
I mean, everybody's got
their strengths and weaknesses.
**[07:00] Masha**
Let's take a quick break, shall we?
**[07:02] Masha**
I'll make some tea.
**[07:04] Masachika**
Oh, I'll help.
**[07:06] Masha**
No, it's fine.
**[07:09] Masha**
Have a seat and wait.
**[07:11] Masha**
I like making tea.
**[07:16] Masha**
Are you a milk tea person, Kuze-kun?
**[07:18] Masha**
How about sugar?
**[07:19] Masha**
Oh, we have jam too.
**[07:21] Masachika**
Jam? Like in Russian tea?
**[07:25] Masachika**
I'll take jam, then.
**[07:27] Masha**
Sure thing.
**[07:28] Masha**
And I assume you're okay
with protein powder, President?
**[07:31] Toya**
Nothing okay about that.
**[07:34] Masachika**
I didn't expect that kind
of joke from you, Masha-san.
**[07:38] Masachika**
Actually, wait.
**[07:40] Masachika**
Isn't black tea more of
a winter drink in Russia?
**[07:44] Masha**
Hmm, it depends on the household.
**[07:47] Masha**
We drank tea all year round
when we were there, at least.
**[07:52] Masha**
Partly because my mother
can't live without her tea.
**[07:57] Masachika**
She's Japanese, right? That makes sense.
**[08:00] Masha**
Do you know a lot about Russia?
**[08:03] Masachika**
Not really, but I did watch some
Russian movies with my grandfather.
**[08:09] Masha**
Oh, wow.
**[08:11] Masachika**
*Well, that was just my gateway.*
**[08:14] Masachika**
* In all honesty, I studied like crazy*
* because I wanted to talk to that girl.*
**[08:21] Masha**
Here you are. Enjoy.
**[08:24] Toya**
Thank you.
**[08:30] Masachika**
This is great.
**[08:32] Masha**
You think so? Thanks.
**[08:36] Masachika**
*This reminds me...*
**[08:40] Masachika**
* That mother of mine's*
* quite the tea aficionado herself.*
**[08:52] Masachika**
Oh, so the jam doesn't always go in the tea?
**[08:55] Masha**
It's personal preference.
**[08:57] Masachika**
Huh...
**[09:04] Masachika**
So sweet.
**[09:07] Yuki**
I'm back.
**[09:09] Alya**
So am I.
**[09:11] Masha**
Welcome back.
**[09:12] Masha**
Would you two like some tea too?
**[09:14] Yuki**
Oh, gladly.
**[09:16] Alya**
Give me.
**[09:17] Masha**
Sure. Give me a second.
**[09:27] Alya**
What?
**[09:28] Masachika**
Personal space? Hello?
**[09:30] Alya**
In Russia, it's considered bad luck for
a young lady to sit at the corner of the table.
**[09:35] Masachika**
Is it?
**[09:36] Alya**
It is.
**[09:38] Masachika**
*Bit too close for comfort, though!*
**[09:45] Masachika**
*Wait, what? Did something really go down?*
**[09:49] Masachika**
Uh, Masha-san?
**[09:51] Masachika**
Is what Alya said true?
Is there really a superstition like that?
**[09:55] Masha**
There is.
**[09:56] Masha**
They say unmarried people who take
the corner seat will never get married.
**[10:00] Masha**
Did you find someone
you would like to marry, Alya-chan?
**[10:04] Alya**
Of course not.
I just didn't feel like sitting there.
**[10:07] Masha**
What? Really?
**[10:10] Alya**
Drop it.
***SIGN*** Marriage isn't in the cards just yet.
**[10:16] Masachika**
*Yeah, we're only 15, after all.*
**[10:19] Masachika**
* Though something about*
* that phrasing's bugging me...*
**[10:21] Masachika**
* Wait, you're doing this*
* even with your sister around?!*
**[10:24] Masha**
Here, Alya-chan.
**[10:26] Masha**
Help yourself while you wait.
**[10:33] Alya**
What?
**[10:34] Masachika**
Nothing at all.
**[10:36] Toya**
All right, let's call it a day.
**[10:40] Toya**
Us second-years have something
to discuss with the teachers.
**[10:43] Toya**
The first-years may leave.
**[10:45] Chisaki**
Good work today.
**[10:46] Masachikaalyayuki**
Goodbye.
**[10:53] Masachika**
* Okay, Yuki definitely did something*
* she shouldn't have.*
**[10:59] Masachika**
Hey, Alya?
**[11:01] Alya**
What is it?
**[11:02] Masachika**
Can we stop by here for a bit?
**[11:04] Alya**
Huh?
**[11:06] Alya**
Why?
**[11:07] Masachika**
We need to talk about some stuff
regarding the presidential election.
**[11:13] Alya**
Oh...
**[11:15] Alya**
Sure, why not?
**[11:16] Masachika**
Okay, let's head in.
***SIGN*** So this isn't a date.
**[11:22] Masachika**
*Is that what you were hoping for, Alya-san?!*
**[11:32] Alya**
What?
**[11:33] Masachika**
I didn't say anything.
**[11:35] Alya**
I'm a bit worn out.
**[11:37] Alya**
I need some sugar to get
my brain working again.
**[11:40] Masachika**
That so?
**[11:42] Masachika**
Uh... did something happen with Yuki?
**[11:47] Alya**
Nuh-uh.
**[11:48] Masachika**
*Yuki! What the heck did you do?!*
**[11:53] Alya**
Are you and Yuki-san dating?
**[11:56] Masachika**
Hell nah.
**[11:58] Alya**
You're not?
**[11:59] Masachika**
Nope. Absolutely not.
**[12:01] Yuki**
But she said...
**[12:05] Masachika**
I'm only saying this cause you need to hear it.
**[12:07] Masachika**
She's not the prim-and-proper
lady she appears to be.
**[12:10] Masachika**
She's messing with you
and having fun seeing how you react.
**[12:15] Masachika**
Anyway...
**[12:16] Masachika**
Moving on to the election talk.
Let's get one thing out of the way.
**[12:20] Masachika**
We stand zero chance
of beating Yuki as things stand.
**[12:23] Alya**
Not beating around the bush, are we?
**[12:26] Masachika**
It's the truth. That's how big
a front-runner Yuki is.
**[12:33] Masachika**
Normally, you'd have three pairs of aspiring
candidates in the student council at this time.
**[12:39] Masachika**
In fact, at the start of middle school,
**[12:42] Masachika**
our council had six pairs—
Yuki and me included—
**[12:44] Masachika**
meaning 12 aspirants in total.
**[12:46] Alya**
That's so many.
**[12:48] Masachika**
That said, half of them dropped out at
the student congress right before the election.
**[12:53] Alya**
Student congress?
**[12:55] Masachika**
It's something of a debate contest
held between students.
**[12:58] Masachika**
If, say, the dispute between the baseball and
soccer teams hadn't reached a compromise,
**[13:04] Masachika**
they would've had to debate each other
at the student congress to decide who won.
**[13:08] Alya**
So that's what the events
I saw happening in the auditorium were.
**[13:14] Alya**
Anyway, what do you mean,
half of them dropped out?
**[13:18] Masachika**
When the congress features
presidential candidates,
**[13:21] Masachika**
it essentially becomes a
preview of the election.
**[13:23] Masachika**
Once they debate on policy
and one side beats out the other,
**[13:27] Masachika**
it establishes a clear pecking order
in the eyes of most students.
**[13:31] Alya**
I see what you mean.
**[13:33] Masachika**
Traditionally, the candidates fight each other
**[13:35] Masachika**
until the field gets whittled down
to three pairs or so.
**[13:39] Masachika**
Of course, not every candidate
joins the student council,
**[13:44] Masachika**
but the lack of numbers this year
is clearly abnormal.
**[13:48] Masachika**
Everyone's given up on beating Yuki.
**[13:53] Alya**
*What's with him?*
**[13:54] Alya**
*He's acting like this doesn't bother him.*
**[13:56] Masachika**
It goes to show that everyone thinks
she's a shoo-in as the next president.
**[13:57] Alya**
* Does he just not think anything of*
* coming to a restaurant with a girl?*
**[14:02] Masachika**
The benefits of being student council
president at our academy go without saying.
**[14:07] Masachika**
In fact, that title is of such great value
**[14:11] Alya**
*No wonder I had such a hard time drinking with it. When did I do this?*
**[14:11] Masachika**
that the elections were rife with
underhanded tactics until a few years ago.
**[14:19] Masachika**
But hey, thanks to all that,
now we get to have clean elections.
**[14:26] Masachika**
You listening to me, Alya?
**[14:28] Alya**
I am. I was just momentarily
distracted by my parfait.
**[14:32] Masachika**
I mean, it definitely looks great.
**[14:35] Alya**
*Get off my case!*
**[14:37] Alya**
* I'm only acting up because*
* of the way you're acting!*
**[14:45] Alya**
*Fine, I got it.*
**[14:46] Alya**
* If you're not going to get in the mood,*
* I'll get you in the mood myself!*
**[14:50] Alya**
Say, do you want a bite?
**[14:53] Masachika**
Nah, I'm good.
**[14:55] Alya**
You said it looks great, didn't you?
**[14:56] Alya**
No need to be shy.
**[15:00] Alya**
Here you go.
**[15:02] Masachika**
Uh, I can just get a fresh spoon.
**[15:05] Alya**
You'd call the staff over just for that?
It'd add to their washing load, too.
**[15:09] Masachika**
But...
**[15:10] Alya**
Hurry up!
**[15:12] Alya**
This is perfectly commonplace in Russia!
**[15:14] Masachika**
Wait, really?
**[15:16] Masachika**
*Nope, she's totally lying.*
**[15:18] Masachika**
Come on! Say "aah"!
**[15:21] Masachika**
*She even said the magic words!*
**[15:26] Masachika**
*Guh! An indirect kiss, also featuring tongue!*
**[15:35] Masachika**
Wow, that's sweet.
**[15:36] Alya**
Yeah?
**[15:44] Masachika**
*Is that Taniyama?*
**[15:49] Alya**
So, how do we beat Yuki-san?
**[15:52] Masachika**
Facing her head-on isn't gonna help.
**[15:56] Masachika**
We need to run a campaign that appeals
to students from a different angle.
**[15:58] Alya**
Like how, exactly?
**[16:00] Masachika**
Take President Kenzaki, for example.
**[16:03] Masachika**
One of the candidates in last year's election
was a former middle school president.
**[16:08] Masachika**
And yet, it was President Kenzaki
who came out on top.
**[16:12] Alya**
He wasn't on the council
in middle school, was he?
**[16:16] Masachika**
Nope, but he still won,
thanks to an elaborate strategy.
**[16:21] Alya**
What was it?

**[16:22] Masachika**
The newspaper club profiled him
because they were amused by him running.
**[16:30] Masachika**
I'm sure they were mostly
messing with him at the start,
**[16:35] Masachika**
but as the coverage went on,
his appearance changed, and his grades went up.
**[16:39] Masachika**
People were watching
a success story unfold in real time,
**[16:42] Masachika**
and they started rooting for him.
**[16:45] Masachika**
And that wave of support
carried him all the way to victory.
**[16:49] Alya**
So you're saying I need a backstory
to rally support?
**[16:53] Alya**
To show all the students
how hard I'm working and all that?
**[16:57] Masachika**
Always quick to catch on, I see.
**[17:01] Masachika**
*But uh...*
**[17:01] Masachika**
*Whatcha gonna do with that spoon?*
**[17:05] Alya**
*What do I do with this spoon?*
**[17:14] Masachika**
Hey, uh, mind if I order something?
**[17:17] Alya**
Huh? Feel free.
**[17:22] Waitress**
Here's your order.
**[17:24] Waitress**
And the fresh spoon you asked for.
**[17:27] Waitress**
Please enjoy.
**[17:30] Alya**
You didn't have to.
**[17:32] Masachika**
Trust me, I had to do it for myself.
**[17:34] Alya**
Getting flustered over something so minor?
You're a bigger baby than I thought.
**[17:39] Alya**
And here I figured
you were used to female company.
**[17:42] Masachika**
Meanwhile, I'm over here
shocked by how casual you were about it.
**[17:48] Masachika**
What, is Russia rife with
indirect kisses or something?
***SIGN*** You're the only one I would do that with, dummy.
**[17:56] Masachika**
*Heh. Thanks.*
**[17:58] Masachika**
Hurry up and eat that. It's gonna melt away.
**[18:01] Alya**
You're right.
**[18:04] Alya**
Anyway, how exactly do I
build support like President Kenzaki did?
**[18:10] Masachika**
Hmm, well, you'd need to show everyone
just how hard you're willing to work.
**[18:15] Masachika**
Our first chance is
the first term's closing ceremony.
**[18:18] Alya**
Do you mean the student council address?
**[18:21] Masachika**
Yeah.
**[18:22] Masachika**
It's essentially the first policy speech
made to the whole student body.
**[18:27] Masachika**
I'm sure you realize how important that is.
**[18:30] Alya**
What should I say in my speech?
**[18:33] Masachika**
Whatever you like.
**[18:36] Masachika**
The audience is more likely to be
receptive if you speak your mind.
**[18:39] Alya**
What, do you not have
any specific advice to give?
**[18:43] Masachika**
You don't need to fake anything.
**[18:45] Masachika**
You're a perfectly captivating

Yeah, kinda.

Wanna try?
**[19:11] Masachika**
*Wait, Alya can't handle this level of heat.*

**[20:31] Alya**
Oh, yeah. What's Yuki-san going to do?
**[20:34] Masachika**
Huh?
**[20:35] Alya**
I mean, if you're running with me,
**[20:39] Alya**
that means she'll have to find
a new partn—running mate.
**[20:44] Masachika**
Well, she's absurdly popular on her own,
**[20:48] Masachika**
so I don't think it really matters...
**[20:51] Masachika**
But it'd have to be someone
who was on our student council, huh?
**[20:56] Masachika**
Yeah, we're in trouble if she
brings out the likes of Taniyama.
**[21:01] Alya**
Who's Taniyama?
**[21:03] Masachika**
Taniyama Sayaka.
**[21:04] Masachika**
Back in middle school, she took Yuki
to the wire in the election we won.
**[21:09] Masachika**
Never heard of her?

Can't say I have.

I hear that you're planning to run with
Kujo-sama in the presidential election.
**[02:17] Ayano**
Is this true?
**[02:19] Masachika**
Yeah.
**[02:23] Ayano**
Master has expressed
his displeasure with this turn of events.
**[02:29] Ayano**
He was incredulous that you stand in
Yuki-sama's way after abandoning the Suou name.
**[02:37] Masachika**
That geezer...
**[02:39] Masachika**
* He gave me the whole, "If you leave,*
* we will be no more than strangers"*
**[02:43] Masachika**
* and "You will not be allowed to*
* call yourself Yuki's brother" spiel,*
**[02:47] Masachika**
*and now he wants to act like we're family?*
**[02:49] Masachika**
*Screw you, you dinosaur.*
**[02:52] Masachika**
And?
**[02:53] Masachika**
He sent you to confirm whether it was true?
**[02:57] Ayano**
No, I'm asking of my own accord.
**[03:00] Ayano**
As Yuki-sama's aide, it is my job
to assess any and all threats to her.
**[03:07] Masachika**
Wow, such fealty. What are you, a samurai?
**[03:10] Ayano**
I... truly believed that you would never
do anything to cause Yuki-sama grief.
**[03:20] Ayano**
Was my trust in you misplaced?
**[03:22] Masachika**
I didn't decide to run in order to oppose Yuki.
**[03:27] Masachika**
It was just an unfortunate consequence.
**[03:31] Ayano**
Whatever your thought process,
**[03:32] Ayano**
the fact remains that you are now
on a collision course.
**[03:35] Ayano**
Is running with Kujo-sama so important to you
**[03:40] Ayano**
that you would betray
and hurt Yuki-sama to do it?
**[03:45] Masachika**
Yeah.
**[03:48] Masachika**
I promised her that I would do everything
in my power to make her president.
**[03:54] Ayano**
Is that because you harbor
special feelings for her?
**[03:58] Ayano**
Do you, perhaps...
**[04:00] Masachika**
Nope.
**[04:01] Masachika**
It was just something I decided I wanted to do.
**[04:05] Masachika**
So tell Gramps this for me:
**[04:07] Masachika**
Don't pester Yuki about this.
**[04:10] Masachika**
If you've got a problem,
**[04:12] Masachika**
come say it to my face.
**[04:17] Ayano**
Understood.
**[04:19] Ayano**
May I ask you one last thing?
**[04:23] Ayano**
Can I trust that your love
for Yuki-sama remains the same?
**[04:29] Masachika**
Yuki is still the most important
person in the world to me.
**[04:33] Masachika**
That part hasn't changed.
**[04:37] Masachika**
So, please, be there for her.
**[04:42] Ayano**
I understand.
**[04:44] Ayano**
I'm glad to have been able to hear
your thoughts on this matter.
**[04:50] Ayano**
Now, if you'll excuse me.
**[04:55] Masachika**
I guess I ended up disappointing her.

**[05:05] Takeshi**
Say, Masachika, who's your fave?
**[05:07] Masachika**
Sorry, I don't really get idols.
**[05:10] Takeshi**
Dude, quit sounding like an old man.
**[05:12] Takeshi**
Come on, you can pick off looks.
**[05:14] Masachika**
Well, in that case...
**[05:17] Masachika**
In this group, I guess that one?
**[05:21] Hikaru**
Hmm?
**[05:22] Hikaru**
The girl you picked kinda
looks like Kujo-senpai.
**[05:26] Takeshi**
Oh?
**[05:27] Masachika**
Does she?
**[05:30] Takeshi**
Now that you mention it, I see the resemblance.
**[05:32] Takeshi**
Are you into girls like Kujo-senpai, Masachika?
**[05:35] Masachika**
Not really?
**[05:37] Masachika**
Masha-san has a boyfriend, anyway.
**[05:39] Hikaru**
So you totally would if she didn't.
**[05:41] Takeshi**
Wait, when'd you start using her nickname?
You been making a move, huh?
**[05:45] Masachika**
No way. It just happened.
**[05:48] Masachika**
I've never looked at her in that way...
***SIGN*** You animal.
**[06:01] Alya**
Do you really think it's okay for a student
council officer to bring that to school?
**[06:06] Masachika**
Well, actually, Takeshi was
the one who brought it.
**[06:11] Alya**
Then you should tell him off.
**[06:13] Masachika**
Yes, ma'am.
**[06:20] Takeshi**
Okay, change of topics.
Ever thought about dating Suou-san?
**[06:25] Masachika**
Never. Not in a million years.
**[06:27] Hikaru**
Why not?
**[06:28] Masachika**
I mean...
**[06:31] Masachika**
Anyway, I want a girlfriend
who can also be my best friend.
***SIGN*** So, someone like me?
**[06:40] Takeshi**
Masachika? What's wrong?
**[06:42] Masachika**
Uh, nothing.
**[06:46] Masachika**
And, well, I'd like a girl
with a cute smile.
**[06:53] Hikaru**
Yeah, people with cold eyes
can feel quite distant.
**[06:59] Takeshi**
How they carry themselves
in daily life really matters.
**[07:04] Masachika**
Hey, watch what you're saying!
You're hurting Alya!
***SIGN*** Whatever.
***SIGN*** It doesn't matter. I have friends.
**[07:13] Masachika**
Just gas her up some for now!
**[07:15] Takeshi**
Okay, fine.
**[07:17] Takeshi**
But, hey, that stuff doesn't matter when
we're talking about a girl as pretty as Alya!
**[07:22] Masachikahikaru**
You're not helping!
**[07:24] Takeshi**
Huh?
**[07:25] Alya**
Huh... So that's how you see me.
**[07:29] Alya**
Well, *excuse* me for being a girl
who's all looks and no charm.
**[07:35] Takeshi**
Uh, nobody said that.
**[07:37] Takeshi**
Eek!
**[07:38] Alya**
On second thought, I'm taking this.
**[07:46] Yuki**
Come in.
**[07:47] Ayano**
Excuse me.
**[07:52] Yuki**
Well? Satisfied now?
**[07:54] Ayano**
Yes. Masachika-sama
is still the man I idolized.
**[07:59] Yuki**
Glad to hear it. What'd he say?
**[08:03] Ayano**
He refused to back down
on running with Kujo-sama.
**[08:08] Yuki**
Figures.
**[08:09] Ayano**
He also asked me to tell Master, "If you've
got a problem, come say it to my face."
**[08:17] Yuki**
Hoo boy.
**[08:19] Yuki**
Them's fighting words.
Onii-chan's serious about this.
**[08:23] Ayano**
He is. His fantastic aggressiveness
sent shockwaves through my womb.
**[08:29] Yuki**
Uh-huh? It did that, huh?
**[08:32] Ayano**
Yes.
**[08:33] Yuki**
Uh... Just checking, you're not in love
with him or anything, are you?
**[08:40] Ayano**
That is correct.
**[08:42] Ayano**
I idolize him as I do you, but there are
no romantic feelings involved.
**[08:49] Yuki**
Is that so...?
**[08:50] Ayano**
I would never have the gall
to seek to be his girlfriend.
**[08:56] Ayano**
All I wish is to serve him well as a tool.
**[08:59] Yuki**
Way to sound like a sub!
**[09:02] Ayano**
I'm afraid I don't understand.
What do you mean by "sub"?
**[09:06] Yuki**
Huh? Er... A super maid Serving Under a Boss.
**[09:10] Yuki**
S-U-B.
**[09:12] Ayano**
Thank you for explaining.
**[09:14] Ayano**
You honor me.
**[09:16] Ayano**
I'll continue to do my utmost
to be the perfect sub.
**[09:20] Yuki**
Yo, did you hear that?
**[09:23] Ayano**
Right, one last thing.
**[09:26] Yuki**
Hmm? What is it?
**[09:27] Ayano**
Masachika-sama also said that
**[09:30] Ayano**
you are still the most important
person in the world to him.
**[09:42] Ayano**
Yuki-sama?
**[09:49] Yuki**
Close call! I nearly screamed out
my love for him in the middle of school!
**[09:56] Yuki**
My dearest brother sure knows
how to tug at my heartstrings.
**[10:02] Yuki**
That aside...
**[10:05] Yuki**
He's really set on taking me on, huh?
**[10:08] Yuki**
Nice. Things are getting interesting.
**[10:12] Yuki**
Honestly, I didn't think Alya-san
would've put up much of a fight by herself.
**[10:15] Ayano**
Most of the first-years seem
to believe that you will get elected.
**[10:20] Ayano**
As for Kujo-sama... I hate to be blunt, but...
**[10:24] Ayano**
"She's being dumb 'cause she transferred
into our middle school after Suou's reign"
**[10:30] Ayano**
seems to be the prevailing opinion.
**[10:33] Yuki**
Wow, they're merciless.
**[10:35] Yuki**
Now, how does Onii-chan plan
to turn this situation around?
**[10:41] Ayano**
You seem to be enjoying yourself.
**[10:42] Yuki**
I am.
**[10:44] Yuki**
I get to go up against that prodigy—
**[10:46] Yuki**
the greatest talent the Suou family
has ever produced.
**[10:50] Yuki**
Onii-chan, who I could never best at anything,
**[10:54] Yuki**
is coming at me with
a formidable partner, Alya-san!
**[10:59] Yuki**
It's enough to make the heart sing!
*Now* we're talking!
**[11:03] Yuki**
Bring it! I'll take you on with all I've got!
**[11:11] Yuki**
By the way, Ayano.
**[11:12] Ayano**
What is it, Yuki-sama?
**[11:17] Yuki**
Wasn't I giving off some major
final boss vibes just now?

It's a battle of wits,
and that's Yuki's playground.
**[12:00] Chisaki**
I'm sure that's part of it,
**[12:02] Chisaki**
but I feel like Alya-chan's
simply too easy to read.
**[12:05] Masachika**
Sarashina-senpai...
**[12:07] Masachika**
I was trying not to say it out loud.
**[12:09] Chisaki**
Oops. Sorry about that.
**[12:13] Toya**
The younger Kujo doesn't have
much of a poker face, does she?
**[12:17] Toya**
I kind of assumed
she would be a lot more composed.
**[12:21] Toya**
On the contrary, the elder Kujo
might be the one who's hard to read.
**[12:25] Masachika**
Ah, yeah.
**[12:28] Chisaki**
I can't really tell
what she's thinking, either.
**[12:32] Chisaki**
She's a great girl, almost a paragon of virtue,
**[12:35] Chisaki**
but she does the strangest
damn things from time to time.
**[12:39] Masachika**
She's got her own special energy.
**[12:42] Chisaki**
Or just, like, she's a ditz?
**[12:43] Masachika**
Again, I was trying not to say it!
**[12:45] Chisaki**
Sorry again.
**[12:47] Ayano**
Sarashina-sama.
**[12:48] Chisaki**
Whoa!
**[12:49] Ayano**
Would you like a refill?
**[12:52] Chisaki**
You really snuck up on me.
**[12:56] Masachika**
I'm good. I've still got some.
**[12:59] Ayano**
Understood.
**[13:00] Toya**
You have a unique way of carrying yourself.
**[13:03] Toya**
Did you pick that up serving as Suou's aide?
**[13:05] Ayano**
Yes. My grandparents taught me.
**[13:08] Toya**
Oh?
**[13:09] Ayano**
Her grandparents used to serve Yuki's family.
**[13:13] Toya**
Wow. Your parents, too?
**[13:15] Ayano**
No, my parents are office workers.
**[13:18] Chisaki**
Wait, what?
**[13:20] Ayano**
Yes.
**[13:21] Ayano**
I chose this because I admired my grandparents.
**[13:23] Ayano**
It isn't the family business or anything.
**[13:26] Chisaki**
Huh... How long have you been doing this?
**[13:30] Ayano**
There was no clear start date.
**[13:34] Ayano**
But I believe I decided to follow
this path back in second grade.
**[13:39] Chisaki**
Early, much?
**[13:40] Ayano**
That's how much I admired my grandparents.
**[13:43] Ayano**
And also, it was Masa—
**[13:46] Ayano**
massively clear to me that Yuki-sama
was someone worth serving.
**[13:52] Masachika**
Ayano, a moment.
**[13:54] Ayano**
I apologize for my slip-up, Masachika-sama.
**[13:58] Masachika**
Uh, it's fine as long as
it doesn't happen again.

**[14:13] Toya**
Is not making a sound
a required skill for an attendant?
**[14:17] Ayano**
Indeed. My grandparents drilled it into me.
**[14:21] Ayano**
They said a servant must never stand out.
**[14:37] Masha**
Ayano-chan, can I get a refill too?
**[14:41] Ayano**
I apologize for not noticing, Mariya-sama.
**[14:45] Masha**
Alya-chan told me to shut up and go away.
**[14:50] Toya**
I'm starting to get worried.
They won't get into a fight, right?
**[14:54] Masachika**
Don't worry about it.
**[14:56] Masachika**
It looks like Alya's enjoying herself.

Er, I'll have some lemon tea.

You didn't have to say. You're coming with me.

Oh, right you are.
**[16:04] Masachika**
Uh, so Witsuya Cider, ginger ale, lemon tea...
**[16:08] Masachika**
the brown café au lait, oshiruko, and water.
**[16:11] Masachika**
Gotcha.
**[16:19] Masha**
Thank you again, Kuze-kun.
**[16:22] Masachika**
Where did that come from? For what?
**[16:24] Masha**
For offering to run with Alya-chan.
**[16:29] Masha**
I'm sure she was delighted.
**[16:33] Masachika**
Maybe, but it's not something
you need to thank me for.
**[16:37] Masha**
You think? I very much disagree.
**[16:40] Masha**
Alya-chan has never had anybody to lean on,
so I'm glad you're there for her now.
**[16:47] Masachika**
Okay...?
**[16:50] Masachika**
Wait...
**[16:51] Masha**
Hmm?
**[16:52] Masachika**
I just had a thought.
**[16:54] Masachika**
Are you deliberately hiding
your responsible side from Alya?
**[17:05] Masha**
You see, I don't want to compete with her.
**[17:11] Masha**
She's a real hard worker, always going
full-throttle in everything she does.
**[17:16] Masha**
And I love her for that.
***SIGN*** What are you doing?
**[17:42] Masachika**
So you're playing the role of her
counterpart, a happy-go-lucky older sis?
**[17:45] Masha**
I'm not exactly "playing" anything.
**[17:47] Masha**
It's just, living life with the dial
constantly turned to 11 can wear you out.
**[17:51] Masha**
We all need to relax a little.
**[17:54] Masha**
Though, I won't deny that I do try
to be extra lax around Alya-chan.
**[18:05] Masha**
I don't want her to feel isolated.
**[18:10] Masha**
Sister relationships are complicated.
All sibling relationships are, actually.
**[18:15] Masha**
We're the closest people
in the world to one another,
**[18:18] Masha**
and that forces us to compare and compete.
**[18:22] Masachika**
*Yeah, I'm painfully aware of that.*
**[18:26] Masachika**
* I only get away with*
* not feeling inferior to Yuki*
**[18:30] Masachika**
* because she has no qualms in showing*
* her love and admiration for me.*

I see you're a caring older sister, Masha-san.
**[18:51] Masha**
Aren't I?
**[18:53] Masha**
I actually am a great big sis,
believe it or not.
**[18:57] Masha**
But keep it a secret from Alya-chan, okay?
**[19:00] Masachika**
Why would I tell her?
**[19:02] Masachika**
Even if I did, she probably
wouldn't believe it.
**[19:04] Masachika**
She'd have to be convinced that her sister's
secretly a mature, responsible person.
**[19:07] Masha**
Please. You act like you're
not hiding a responsible side yourself.
**[19:15] Masachika**
Unlike you, I don't have a good reason for it.
**[19:19] Masachika**
I'm just looking out for myself.
**[19:22] Masachika**
I just play the slacker so I can take it easy
and not have people depending on me.
**[19:29] Masachika**
Don't pay it any mind.

There, there.
**[19:38] Masha**
Good job hanging in there.
**[19:40] Masha**
It'll all be okay.
**[19:42] Masha**
You'll be just fine, Kuze-kun.
**[19:44] Masachika**
I'm not really...

*Taniyama Sayaka?*
**[20:22] Alya**
* She's the one who was Yuki-san's*
* election opponent back in middle school, right?*
**[20:26] Sayaka**
Kujo-san.
**[20:28] Sayaka**
Is it true that you're going to run
with Kuze-san in the presidential election?
**[20:33] Alya**
It is. What about it?
**[20:36] Sayaka**
That's a pretty classless move.
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
**[20:41] Alya**
Huh?
**[20:42] Sayaka**
You stole the running mate
Suou-san had set her eyes on.
**[20:47] Sayaka**
Was it to spite her?
**[20:48] Alya**
Wh-Wha?
**[20:50] Alya**
What are you implying?
**[20:52] Alya**
That I did something underhanded
to get Kuze-kun to back me?
**[20:56] Sayaka**
Am I wrong?
**[20:58] Sayaka**
I don't know how you did it, and I don't care.
**[21:01] Sayaka**
But you picked that massive slacker
to be your running mate,
**[21:04] Sayaka**
and I can only assume
you did it to spite Suou-san.
**[21:07] Alya**
No!
**[21:08] Masachika**
Alya? And Taniyama?!
**[21:13] Masachika**
What's the matter?
**[21:14] Alya**
Don't ask me.
**[21:16] Alya**
She's accusing me of pulling some
shady crap to steal you from Yuki-san.
**[21:21] Masachika**
The heck?
**[21:23] Masachika**
Uh, Taniyama?
**[21:25] Masachika**
I don't know what you heard
or who you heard it from.
**[21:27] Masachika**
But I made the decision
to run with Alya myself.
**[21:30] Sayaka**
I find that hard to believe.
**[21:33] Sayaka**
You'd been going through
the motions for so long.
**[21:35] Sayaka**
What gave you the motivation to team up
with this transfer student here?
**[21:39] Masachika**
"Going through the motions"?
**[21:41] Masachika**
I guess you're not exactly wrong.
**[21:44] Masachika**
Either way, Yuki's accepted my decision.
Whatever you think happened, you're wrong.
**[21:49] Masachika**
If you said something untoward to Alya,
**[21:51] Masachika**
could you please apologize?
**[21:55] Sayaka**
I see now. So you're the one in the wrong here.
**[22:06] Sayaka**
Kuze-san. I challenge you to student congress.
**[22:09] Masachika**
What?
**[22:10] Girl1**
Did you hear that?
We're getting a student congress.
**[22:13] Boy**
For real?
**[22:14] Girl2**
What's happening?
**[22:15] Girl1**
Two presidential candidates
are gonna have a student congress!
**[22:18] Masachika**
Wait, hold on a second. Are you serious?
**[22:22] Sayaka**
Why would I joke about this?
**[22:24] Sayaka**
Someone like you has no place
in the presidential election—
**[22:28] Sayaka**
no, on the student council in general.
**[22:31] Alya**
Hold it right there.
**[22:33] Alya**
I've heard that a student congress between
candidates can establish a pecking order.
**[22:37] Alya**
In that case, I need to be
part of this conversation.
**[22:41] Sayaka**
Stay out of this. You're just a puppet
with good grades and nothing else.
**[22:47] Alya**
We're running as a team
in the presidential election!
**[22:49] Alya**
If you, as a candidate yourself,
want to take down Kuze-kun,
**[22:54] Alya**
you'll have to go through me!
**[22:57] Sayaka**
And here I was trying to
spare you the embarrassment.
**[23:00] Sayaka**
Very well. I'll take you both down
in one fell swoop.
**[23:04] Sayaka**
People like you two don't deserve
to run for president.

***SIGN*** Student Congress
**[01:33] Toya**
So, the topic for the student congress debate
**[01:35] Toya**
is "Introducing Teacher Screenings for Student Council Entry," huh?
**[01:39] Masachika**
Laser-targeted at me. I don't have
much of a rep among the teachers.
**[01:44] Toya**
Are you really going to do this?
I feel like there's nothing in it for you.
**[01:49] Alya**
There is something.
**[01:51] Alya**
If we can beat her,
our candidacy gains legitimacy.
**[01:55] Alya**
Also, she insulted Kuze-kun and myself.
**[01:59] Alya**
I need her to take back
what she said and apologize.
**[02:04] Toya**
Yeah?
**[02:05] Masachika**
Hey, it's not all bad.
**[02:08] Masachika**
It's a chance to introduce ourselves and
our candidacy ahead of the closing ceremony.
**[02:12] Toya**
If you say so.
**[02:15] Toya**
Very well. We'll announce it by end of day.
**[02:19] Yuki**
Allow me to draft
the announcement, President.
**[02:22] Toya**
Please do, Suou.
**[02:25] Yuki**
Good luck, Masachika-kun, Alya-san.
**[02:29] Alya**
Thank you.
**[02:30] Masachika**
Cheers.
**[02:35] Masachika**
Going off what I know about her,
Taniyama's likely to use this line of argument.
**[02:41] Alya**
I see.
**[02:43] Masachika**
How would you counter that?
**[02:49] Masachika**
Yeah, this is good.
**[02:51] Masachika**
It could stand to be a bit more concise, though.
**[02:55] Alya**
Say, Kuze-kun.
**[02:57] Alya**
Are you and Taniyama-san on bad terms?
**[03:02] Masachika**
Nah, I'd like to think not.
**[03:06] Masachika**
I feel like there was a mutual
respect when we worked together.
**[03:10] Alya**
Yeah? Then why did she do all that?
**[03:15] Masachika**
Who knows?
**[03:17] Masachika**
Maybe she thinks I'm entering
the election to make a mess of things for fun.
**[03:24] Alya**
What gave her such a negative
impression of you to begin with?
**[03:29] Masachika**
Well, I used to be Yuki's partner.
**[03:33] Masachika**
But I quit working with her,
the odds-on favorite,
**[03:37] Masachika**
to pair up with someone else.
**[03:40] Masachika**
I don't blame her for doubting my motives.
**[03:42] Alya**
But that's...
**[03:45] Alya**
*It's all because I teamed up with him.*
**[03:49] Alya**
*I brought this on.*
**[03:53] Alya**
I...
**[03:55] Masachika**
Alya? What's up?
**[03:59] Alya**
I'll make sure we win tomorrow.
**[04:03] Masachika**
Yeah, let's do that.
**[04:14] Nonoa**
Been a while, Kuzecchi.
**[04:16] Nonoa**
Let's have a good one.
**[04:19] Nonoa**
Wait, me saying that is a bit weird.
**[04:22] Masachika**
Do you think you're here
for a picnic or something?
**[04:25] Nonoa**
Well, I'll have nothing to do
during the actual debate.
**[04:30] Nonoa**
I'll basically just be chilling.
**[04:33] Nonoa**
Heya, I'm Miyamae Nonoa.
Sayacchi's running mate, for what it's worth.
**[04:40] Alya**
Hi, I'm Kujo Alisa. Let's have a good debate.
**[04:44] Nonoa**
Whoo, really got that game face going, huh?
**[04:46] Nonoa**
I think you and Sayacchi might just get along.
**[04:51] Alya**
That's Taniyama-san's partner?
**[04:53] Masachika**
Yeah, and childhood friend, apparently.
**[04:56] Masachika**
Polar opposites, but they're best friends.
**[04:59] Alya**
I see.
**[05:01] Masachika**
Miyamae's one of the most
popular people in school.
**[05:04] Masachika**
She's got connections
that rival the cream of the crop.
**[05:08] Alya**
That's a powerful asset in any election.
**[05:11] Masachika**
Not something you need to
worry about today, though.
**[05:14] Masachika**
Stay focused on Taniyama.
**[05:17] Alya**
You're right. Got it.
**[05:22] Girl A**
Thoughts on today's topic?
**[05:25] Girl B**
I could go either way.
**[05:26] Girl B**
Taniyama-san was our queen's election
opponent back in middle school, right?
**[05:31] Girl C**
She transferred in?
**[05:32] Girl D**
Yeah, all I know about her is
that her grades are good.
**[05:41] Alya**
*Can I really do this?*
**[05:44] Alya**
*Won't I get ignored like last time?*
**[05:49] Alya**
*No, I have to.*
**[05:51] Alya**
* This is also for Kuze-kun,*
* who agreed to be my running mate.*
**[05:57] Boy A**
Can she even manage a speech?
**[05:59] Boy B**
Taniyama-san's gonna run away with this.
**[06:05] Masachika**
...ya.
**[06:06] Masachika**
Alya.
**[06:08] Alya**
Kuze-kun?
**[06:10] Masachika**
Alya...
**[06:11] Masachika**
Is it true you're an E-cup?
**[06:13] Alya**
Mm?
**[06:15] Alya**
Wha?
**[06:17] Alya**
You perv! I-Is this really the time?!
**[06:21] Masachika**
No better time than now, actually.
You can't hit me right now, can you?
**[06:25] Alya**
Die.
**[06:27] Masachika**
Looking at me like I'm human garbage?
**[06:29] Masachika**
Does that help ease your nerves?
**[06:33] Masachika**
Alya, who are you going up against?
**[06:36] Alya**
Taniyama-san, right?
**[06:38] Masachika**
Wrong. Your opponent is the idealized,
perfect version of yourself.
**[06:43] Masachika**
You don't need to be perfect.
Just do whatever you think is cool.
**[06:49] Masachika**
Don't worry. I'll work things out
if it comes down to it.
**[06:56] Toya**
It's time.
**[06:58] Toya**
We will now commence the student congress.
**[07:04] Toya**
The proposers of the motion are
Taniyama Sayaka and Miyamae Nonoa.
**[07:08] Toya**
Kujo Alisa and Kuze Masachika
will be the opposition.
**[07:12] Toya**
The topic is, "Introducing Teacher
Screenings for Student Council Entry."
**[07:17] Toya**
Proposer, you may now state your case.
**[07:20] Sayaka**
Right.
**[07:27] Sayaka**
As things stand, student council officers are
chosen by the president and vice president.
**[07:34] Sayaka**
But the reality of it is,
they accept any and all entrants.
**[07:42] Sayaka**
A survey of former student council
members confirmed that
**[07:45] Girl 5**
So, it's who you know?
**[07:46] Sayaka**
this has indeed been the case
over the past three terms.
**[07:46] Girl 6**
I guess?
**[07:48] Masachika**
*Seriously? She even collected data for it?*
**[07:52] Masachika**
*Wait, no. This must've been Miyamae's doing.*
**[07:56] Sayaka**
I believe that our student council
must be comprised of a chosen few.
**[08:03] Sayaka**
And I'm sure you would all agree.
**[08:06] Sayaka**
The moment they become a student council
officer, even a low-performing student
**[08:11] Sayaka**
stands above you in
the school's societal hierarchy.
**[08:14] Sayaka**
Are you really okay with that?
**[08:17] Masachika**
*Damn, she's good.*
**[08:19] Masachika**
* Individual students don't care, but she made*
* them care by shifting things to their POV.*
**[08:24] Sayaka**
And so, I propose introducing
teacher approvals as a prerequisite.
**[08:28] Sayaka**
That will allow only those
recommended by teachers,
**[08:31] Sayaka**
the truly talented individuals,
to make up our student council.
**[08:36] Sayaka**
We need to bring about a more exclusive
student council, one we can all respect.
**[08:43] Sayaka**
So I ask for your support.
**[08:46] Sayaka**
Thank you for your time.
**[08:55] Toya**
Opposition, you may now make your case.
**[08:58] Alya**
Right.
**[09:01] Boy C**
How will she turn this around?
**[09:02] Boy D**
Not happening. Taniyama-san's already won.
**[09:05] Boy A**
Let's hear what our
ice queen has to say, at least.
**[09:14] Alya**
*"Do whatever I think is cool," huh?*
**[09:20] Alya**
*I think I'll do just that.*
**[09:24] Alya**
I'm Kujo, the student council treasurer.
**[09:27] Alya**
I will represent the student council
in presenting my opposition to this motion.
**[09:36] Alya**
Taniyama-san stated that
introducing teacher screenings
**[09:41] Alya**
would bring about a student
council that we can all respect.
**[09:44] Alya**
However, I believe it would do the opposite.
**[09:47] Alya**
It will only infringe on
the student council's authority.
**[09:50] Alya**
After all,
**[09:51] Alya**
this motion involves stripping
its president and vice president
**[09:55] Alya**
of their right to nominate their officers.
**[10:00] Alya**
Those two positions hold the highest authority
and respect within the student council,
**[10:06] Alya**
because the student body
chooses them by popular vote.
**[10:10] Alya**
And they, by virtue of winning
a highly competitive election,
**[10:15] Alya**
are granted several privileges by the academy.
**[10:19] Alya**
Chief among them, the right to
choose their own officers.
**[10:25] Alya**
It wouldn't be right to hand over even
a portion of that to the teaching staff.
**[10:31] Alya**
Wouldn't it be tantamount to saying
the student council, as it stands,
**[10:36] Alya**
can't function as it should
without the help of the teachers?
**[10:41] Alya**
This academy prides itself
on respecting the students' autonomy.
**[10:45] Alya**
That is exactly why a great amount
of power is vested in the student council.
**[10:50] Alya**
What do you think happens if all of its
officers have to be approved by the staff?
**[10:57] Alya**
The president and vice president
won't be able to recruit students they trust.
**[11:05] Alya**
They also won't be able to refuse
any recommendations by the teachers.
**[11:10] Masachika**
*Okay, she's staying composed up there. Perfect.*
**[11:11] Alya**
That means the teachers
will essentially hold all the power.
**[11:15] Masachika**
*Both Taniyama and Alya's arguments are valid.*
**[11:17] Alya**
But the student council exists to
represent the student body, does it not?
**[11:20] Masachika**
*I'd say the students are currently split.*
**[11:23] Masachika**
*I didn't put her up to this, Taniyama.*
**[11:26] Masachika**
*These are all Alya's words, not mine.*
**[11:30] Alya**
Thank you for your time.
**[11:34] Toya**
We will now commence the debate.
**[11:37] Sayaka**
Very well.
**[11:39] Toya**
Go ahead.
**[11:40] Sayaka**
As I mentioned earlier,
**[11:43] Sayaka**
the student council has accepted
every single volunteer recently.
**[11:48] Alya**
And that hasn't caused any issues,
so what problem do you have with it?
**[11:52] Sayaka**
I believe it's vital to introduce teacher
screenings to prevent downturn in performance.
**[11:58] Alya**
It should be up to the president
and vice president to make that call.
**[12:03] Alya**
They have the option to accept their
shortcomings and ask the teachers for help.
**[12:09] Alya**
It's not something
the rest of us get to decide.
**[12:14] Masachika**
*You mistook who you were up against.*
**[12:18] Masachika**
* Alya's been your opponent all along,*
* but you've only been focusing on me.*
**[12:23] Masachika**
*Now, what's your move?*
**[12:27] Sayaka**
Then what if the president and
vice president abuse their power?
**[12:32] Alya**
Well...
**[12:33] Plant1**
But Kujo-san's an outsider
at the end of the day.
**[12:37] Plant2**
What would a newcomer know about our academy?
**[12:40] Plant3**
Taniyama-san's got this in the bag.
**[12:43] Masachika**
*Tch, classy move right there.*
**[12:45] Masachika**
*Plants, huh?*
**[12:47] Alya**
Huh?
**[12:49] Sayaka**
Well?
**[12:52] Alya**
*Wait, what was I about to say?*
**[12:54] Alya**
*Oh no... I need to respond, and quick.*
**[12:57] Alya**
*But what do I say?*
**[13:09] Masachika**
Good job. Let me handle the rest.
**[13:17] Masachika**
Excuse me. I'll be taking over from here.
**[13:23] Masachika**
I guess her vocal cords
couldn't handle all that talking.
**[13:26] Masachika**
This is what you get
for never talking to people.
**[13:32] Masachika**
Well, I'd like to finish this off quick
so my partner can rest.
**[13:39] Masachika**
I ask you, do we even need to debate this?
**[13:42] Crowd**
Huh?
**[13:43] Crowd**
What is he saying?
**[13:45] Masachika**
I believe you already made up your mind
when you elected President Kenzaki over there.
**[13:52] Masachika**
You all know that he was a slacker
who barely made an impression in class.
**[13:58] Masachika**
Actually, let me cut to the chase:
**[14:00] Masachika**
He was the kind of dweeb who'd never get
the teachers' approval in this hypothetical.
**[14:06] Masachika**
But President Kenzaki put in the work.
**[14:10] Masachika**
He upped his grades, worked on himself,
**[14:12] Masachika**
and went from loser to
worthy presidential candidate.
**[14:17] Masachika**
And you all voted for him because
you wanted to cheer him on, right?
**[14:24] Masachika**
He was only able to become
student council president
**[14:26] Masachika**
because our system allows for anyone with
the drive to become a student council officer.
**[14:33] Masachika**
So I ask you again:
Do we even need to debate this?
**[14:42] Toya**
Uh, I'm still processing
the sudden bullying by my junior,
**[14:47] Toya**
but if there are no further questions,
we will move on to closing statements.
**[14:50] Toya**
Is that all right, proposer?
**[14:55] Toya**
Huh?
**[14:56] Nonoa**
Wait, Sayacchi?
**[14:59] Masachika**
Alya?!
**[15:06] Nonoa**
'Kay, we accept defeat!
**[15:09] Toya**
Huh? Uh...
**[15:11] Toya**
Can we take that to mean
you're withdrawing the motion?
**[15:15] Nonoa**
Yeah, that's fine.
**[15:17] Nonoa**
Sorry for this mess my Sayaka caused.
**[15:24] Toya**
The motion has been withdrawn.
**[15:26] Toya**
That concludes this student congress session.
**[15:33] (Flashback) Yuki**
Take it away, Masachika-kun.
**[15:36] (Flashback) Masachika**
You got it, Yuki.
**[15:40] Sayaka**
* When I saw those two together,*
* I thought I'd come upon the perfect duo.*
**[15:45] Sayaka**
* The two of them had each other's backs*
* and absolute trust in each other.*
**[15:50] Sayaka**
* I realized that they had*
* a bond stronger than any other,*
**[15:55] Sayaka**
* and that I never stood*
* any chance of beating them.*
**[15:58] Sayaka**
* It helped me accept my defeat,*
* though I was left feeling a tiny bit envious.*
**[16:04] Sayaka**
*And that's why...*
**[16:06] Sayaka**
*When I saw* those *two together,*
**[16:11] Sayaka**
*I felt betrayed.*
**[16:18] Alya**
Wait up!
**[16:26] Sayaka**
Why? Why did it have to be you?!
**[16:28] Sayaka**
Kuze-san and Suou-san were special!
**[16:32] Sayaka**
I made my peace losing to them!
**[16:35] Sayaka**
I gave up on my goals because it was them!
**[16:39] Sayaka**
So why you?
**[16:47] Alya**
If you have anything else
to say, let it all out.
**[16:53] Sayaka**
I have no right to say anything.
**[16:57] Sayaka**
I feel like such a fool.
**[17:00] Sayaka**
I put them on a pedestal
and put all my faith in them,
**[17:03] Sayaka**
and then felt betrayed and took it out on you.
**[17:08] Sayaka**
But I'd just made it all up in my head.
**[17:16] Nonoa**
Oh, there she is.
**[17:19] Nonoa**
Aw, look at you, crying up a storm.
**[17:23] Nonoa**
Sorry, Kujo-san.
**[17:25] Nonoa**
I'll take it from here.
**[17:28] Alya**
Uh...
**[17:29] Nonoa**
It's fine.
**[17:31] Nonoa**
Please, let me.
**[17:36] Alya**
Taniyama-san, even I don't know
why Kuze-kun chose me.
**[17:43] Alya**
But I want to ensure he made the right choice.
**[17:48] Alya**
So I'll give it my all...
**[17:50] Alya**
And maybe one day, you'll say
it was the right choice, too.
**[17:54] Alya**
That's all.
**[17:58] Nonoa**
Man, Kujo-san's such a good gal.
**[18:01] Sayaka**
I'm sure.
**[18:03] Sayaka**
After all, Kuze-san chose her.
**[18:06] Nonoa**
Better apologize to Kuzecchi and her
once you've calmed down, okay?
**[18:10] Nonoa**
I'll go with you.
**[18:17] Yuki**
My brother is such a softie.
**[18:20] Yuki**
He could've put an end to this farce
any time he wanted, but he didn't.
**[18:25] Yuki**
Whatever. They won't be much of
a challenge if that's all they've got.
**[18:30] Yuki**
Their lack of killer instinct
will prove to be their downfall.
**[18:35] Yuki**
Don't you agree?
**[18:36] Ayano**
Are you sure?
**[18:38] Ayano**
I thought Masachika-sama and
Kujo-sama put in a fine performance.
**[18:44] Yuki**
Ayano.
**[18:45] Ayano**
Yes?
**[18:46] Yuki**
You don't get it! Not one bit!
**[18:49] Yuki**
We gotta ooze confidence with, like,
shadows shrouding our eyes,
**[18:53] Yuki**
and condescendingly judge our opponents!
**[18:56] Yuki**
That is how you give off boss vibes!
**[19:01] Ayano**
I apologize for my lack of knowledge.
**[19:05] Yuki**
Yeesh, get your act together.
**[19:09] Yuki**
Why do you think I took on the sound and
lighting job when it gets so hot in here?
***SIGN*** Loyalty
**[19:17] Ayano**
If I may, can I ask you a question?
**[19:20] Yuki**
What is it?
**[19:21] Ayano**
Isn't giving off boss vibes a trait
of characters who ultimately lose?
**[19:30] Ayano**
Also, as I said before, food and drink
aren't allowed in this room.
**[19:37] Yuki**
Ayano, let's pack up.
**[19:40] Ayano**
Understood.
**[19:44] Alya**
Taniyama-san said...
**[19:47] Alya**
That you and Yuki-san were special,
and that she put you on a pedestal.
**[19:51] Alya**
And that's why she was able to give up.
**[19:54] Masachika**
Oh.
**[19:56] Alya**
I'll give it my all. You have my word.
**[19:59] Alya**
I'll prove that you made
the right choice to run with me.
**[20:04] Alya**
And I'll prove it to Taniyama-san, too.
**[20:08] Masachika**
Yeah, I better put in the work, too.
**[20:12] Alya**
Say, can I ask you something?
**[20:15] Alya**
Why did you choose to run
with me and not Yuki-san?
**[20:22] Masachika**
I ran with Yuki because I couldn't
bring myself to turn her down.
**[20:29] Masachika**
Of course, part of me wanted
to support her in her pursuits.
**[20:34] Masachika**
But my guilt was probably the biggest factor.
**[20:39] Alya**
Your guilt?
**[20:47] Masachika**
Maybe that's why I felt so trapped back then.
**[20:51] Masachika**
Compared to the people around me,
all working toward their hopes and dreams,
**[20:57] Masachika**
all I had driving me was guilt—
and it was pathetic.
**[21:01] Masachika**
I kept putting myself down, again and again.
**[21:04] Masachika**
They called me the VP
pulling the strings in the shadows,
**[21:08] Masachika**
but, the truth is,
I just didn't wanna be in the spotlight.
**[21:16] Masachika**
Things are different this time around, though.
**[21:19] Masachika**
I decided to run for vice president
because I wanted to.
**[21:23] Masachika**
Because I *wanted* to be your running mate.
**[21:30] Masachika**
So, yeah, it's not a question of
weighing Yuki and you.
**[21:34] Masachika**
It's, like...
**[21:36] Masachika**
Well, you get the point.
**[21:40] Alya**
You were supposed to put it in words there.
**[21:44] Masachika**
Shut it!
**[21:45] Masachika**
I see you smiling! You're not getting
another word outta me!
**[21:48] Masachika**
And heck, how about you?
**[21:50] Alya**
What about me?
**[21:51] Masachika**
Why are you running with me?
**[21:54] Alya**
Oh, that's obvious.
**[21:59] Alya**
Потому что это ты.
**[22:05] Masachika**
The heck does that mean?
**[22:13] Alya**
We should get going.
**[22:19] Masachika**
Yes, ma'am.
**[22:20] Alya**
By the way, Kuze-kun, what was that about?
**[22:24] Masachika**
What do you mean?
**[22:25] Alya**
That stuff about my chest size.
**[22:29] Masachika**
O-Oh, that? Uh...
**[22:32] Masachika**
A girl I know said something
to that effect once.
**[22:35] Masachika**
She claimed that you were
probably around an E-cup.
***SIGN*** Correct, just barely.
**[22:45] Masachika**
Huh? Barely?

**[00:03] Gensei**
I hear a student congress was held the other day,
**[00:07] Gensei**
with Masachika and the heiress of
Taniyama Industries participating.
**[00:13] Yuki**
Right.
**[00:14] Gensei**
She took you to the wire in your
middle school presidential election,
**[00:18] Gensei**
so I expected good things from her.
**[00:20] Gensei**
But it seems she left
in the middle of the debate?
**[00:24] Yuki**
She must have had her reasons.
**[00:29] Gensei**
Whatever her reasons, it has resulted
in Masachika's campaign gaining legitimacy.
**[00:35] Gensei**
Listen, no matter who you are up against,
you aren't allowed to lose.
**[00:39] Yuki**
I realize that, Grandfather.
**[00:43] Gensei**
You may not be as gifted as Masachika,
**[00:47] Gensei**
but you know that with great gifts
come great responsibilities.
**[00:52] Gensei**
Responsibilities he ran away from.
**[00:54] Gensei**
He was born with unrivaled talents
and into unmatched privilege,
**[00:59] Gensei**
but he threw it all away.
**[01:02] Gensei**
Losing to him, of all people,
is absolutely not an option.
**[01:07] Gensei**
Are we clear, Yuki?
**[01:09] Yuki**
Of course, Grandfather.
**[01:14] Yumi**
Yuki-san?
**[01:16] Yuki**
Is something the matter, Mother?
**[01:20] Yumi**
Are you and Masachika-san still as close as ever?
**[01:24] Yuki**
Yes, of course.
**[01:27] Yumi**
Good to hear.
**[01:28] Yuki**
Uh, what about him?
**[01:31] Yumi**
Nothing. Never mind me.
**[01:34] Yumi**
You have Chinese class now, don't you?
**[01:37] Yuki**
Yes, online.
**[01:41] Yumi**
Good luck with that.
**[01:43] Yuki**
Thank you.
**[01:48] Yuki**
Ayano.
**[01:49] Ayano**
Yes, Yuki-sama?
**[01:51] Yuki**
Let me hug you for a sec!
**[01:52] Ayano**
As you wish.
**[02:03] Yuki**
Okay, I'm all better now.
**[02:05] Ayano**
Are you done?
**[02:07] Yuki**
Yeah, thanks.
**[02:09] Yuki**
Man...
**[02:10] Yuki**
Tiddies truly are great.

**[03:46] Boy 1**
Heya, Kuze.
**[03:47] Boy 1**
You did amazing in student congress last week.
**[03:49] Boy A**
I thought Taniyama-san had it in the bag
after hearing her argument, but whew.
**[03:54] Boy B**
How much of that did you have planned out?
**[03:57] Masachika**
Hey, at least let me put my bag down.
**[04:03] Masachika**
Morning, Alya.
**[04:04] Alya**
Yes, good morning.
**[04:06] Masachika**
*Wow, business as usual, I see.*
**[04:11] Masachika**
Alya, these guys wanna hear more
about your exploits last week.
**[04:15] Alya**
Huh?
**[04:16] Masachika**
Go ahead and get the deets from her.
**[04:19] Masachika**
I must go. My gacha needs me.
**[04:28] Hikaru**
Kujo-san, did you write your own speech?
**[04:33] Alya**
Huh? Oh, yes, that was me.
**[04:37] Hikaru**
Wow, I'm impressed.
**[04:40] Hikaru**
You're a great orator too, huh?
**[04:42] Alya**
Th-Thank you.
**[04:46] Boy A**
Was not asking questions part of your strategy?
**[04:49] Alya**
Right. We'd decided not to.
**[04:53] Boy B**
What about Kuze taking over partway, then?
**[04:56] Alya**
I wasn't expecting that, either.
**[04:59] Boy G**
I can't believe Taniyama
straight up ran away, though.
**[05:03] Boy D**
She was the one who started it, too.
**[05:05] Boy D**
Talk about pathetic.
**[05:08] Alya**
Kuze-kun, a moment.
**[05:10] Masachika**
Hmm?
**[05:11] Masachika**
Okay?
**[05:13] Masachika**
Oh, right. We had student council
business to take care of.
**[05:16] Masachika**
Sorry, we'll pick this back up later.
***SIGN*** Student Council Office
**[05:20] Masachika**
Well?
**[05:21] Masachika**
What's up?
**[05:23] Masachika**
Did Taniyama getting ridiculed
bother you so much?
**[05:27] Alya**
I mean, she was just...
**[05:29] Masachika**
Yeah, you and I know why she did what she did.
**[05:34] Masachika**
But remember, we did nothing wrong.
We simply fought fair and square.
**[05:39] Masachika**
There's no need to let what people say
about her bother us, is there?
**[05:44] Alya**
I get that.
**[05:45] Alya**
But we didn't actually beat them.
They simply forfeited.
**[05:49] Masachika**
What's your plan, then?
Let's assume we help her save face.
**[05:54] Masachika**
That'll mean our student congress
victory goes to waste.
**[05:59] Alya**
I know...
**[06:02] Masachika**
That's what I would say if I were
putting our interests first.
**[06:06] Masachika**
But who cares about that?
**[06:08] Alya**
Huh?
**[06:08] Masachika**
What matters is what you want to do.
**[06:12] Alya**
Well, I want to help Taniyama-san, obviously.
**[06:16] Alya**
But that'd be...
**[06:18] Masachika**
Okay, gotcha. Then that's what we'll do.
**[06:21] Alya**
What?
**[06:21] Alya**
Are you sure?
**[06:22] Masachika**
Of course. No point letting this drag out.
**[06:25] Masachika**
We'll sort this mess out and head into
the closing ceremony with a clear conscience.
**[06:30] Alya**
I'm sorry. I know this will
create more work for you.
**[06:33] Masachika**
Don't worry about it.
**[06:35] Masachika**
Like I said, I'm here for you.

*Wow, a situation straight out of a rom-com.*
**[06:53] Masachika**
* As their junior, the right thing to do here*

**[07:01] Masachika**
* Whoa, wait a second.*
* Is a rom-com scene starting over here too?*

*Welp, we got a problem.*

Sorry about that. We missed
our chance to announce our presence.
**[07:33] Chisato**
Yeah. We were just looking
for something we dropped on the floor.
**[07:38] Masachika**
Well, how about we pretend none of us

Say, Nonoa.
**[08:06] Girl 3**
Did you see Phamel's newest collection?
Pretty cool, huh?
**[08:10] Nonoa**
I dunno... Nothing really grabbed me.
**[08:13] Girl 3**
Oh... Guess I'll pass too, then.
**[08:17] Masachika**
* Ugh, normies! Not going*
* anywhere near them!*
**[08:22] Girl 2**
That aside, Nonoa.
**[08:24] Girl 2**
Wanna come to my house party on Sunday?
**[08:27] Nonoa**
But we have exams coming up.
**[08:29] Girl 2**
We could also have a study sesh.
**[08:32] Nonoa**
Uh...
**[08:33] Girl 2**
Y'know, aren't you being kinda distant lately?
**[08:36] Nonoa**
I'm just kidding!
**[08:39] Nonoa**
Count me in for the party.
**[08:42] Girl 2**
Yay!
**[08:43] Boy X**
What? I'll go if Nonoa's going.
**[08:46] Nonoa**
D'you need something, Kuzecchi?
**[08:48] Masachika**
Uh, y-yeah, kinda.
**[08:51] Nonoa**
Oh, can't talk about it here?
**[08:54] Masachika**
I'd prefer not to, yeah.
**[08:56] Nonoa**
Okay.
**[08:59] Nonoa**
Well?
**[09:01] Nonoa**
I'm all ears if you wanna ask me out,
but that's not what you're here for, is it?
**[09:04] Masachika**
Nope.
**[09:05] Masachika**
Wait, you're all ears?
**[09:08] Nonoa**
I mean, I'm single right now,
and I don't really mind you.
**[09:12] Masachika**
Uh, maybe go out
with someone you actually like.
**[09:17] Nonoa**
I've never dated anyone I really liked.
**[09:21] Masachika**
Talk about a problematic statement.
**[09:24] Nonoa**
Can you blame me? I don't get
all that love and romance stuff.
**[09:29] Masachika**
Far be it from me to meddle in your affairs,
**[09:33] Masachika**
but you should probably try
to avoid selling yourself short.
**[09:39] Nonoa**
Sayacchi told me the exact same thing!
**[09:41] Nonoa**
It came with a bonus slap, though.
**[09:43] Masachika**
Seriously?
**[09:45] Masachika**
Taniyama's the type to throw hands, huh?
**[09:47] Nonoa**
Oh, uh, that was probably a one-off.
**[09:51] Nonoa**
Anyway, how can I help you?
**[09:54] Masachika**
Right. You know how people
are talking shit about Taniyama?
**[09:58] Masachika**
I'm wondering if we can put a stop to it.
**[10:01] Nonoa**
Oh? I didn't think it'd bother you.
**[10:04] Masachika**
Well, it bothers my partner.
**[10:07] Nonoa**
Ah, I get it now.
**[10:09] Nonoa**
That's so sweet of her.
**[10:13] Nonoa**
So? Why come to me about it?
**[10:17] Nonoa**
You do realize I'm the enemy, don't you?
**[10:21] Masachika**
"Enemy," huh?
**[10:22] Nonoa**
I'm sure you noticed that
I had plants in the audience.
**[10:27] Masachika**
Of course I noticed.
**[10:29] Masachika**
I can't believe you'd risk destroying
your friendships like that.
**[10:35] Nonoa**
Frankly, I'm not attached to
any of my friends other than Sayacchi.
**[10:39] Nonoa**
I don't really care if I lose 'em.
**[10:43] Masachika**
Can I ask you something?
**[10:46] Masachika**
People like Taniyama,
with a fire burning within,
**[10:50] Masachika**
should be a total mystery to you.
**[10:53] Masachika**
Why're you so attached to her, then?
**[10:55] Nonoa**
Oh, you've got it the wrong way around.
**[10:57] Nonoa**
She intrigues me *because* she's such
a mystery, and that's why I want her around.
**[11:02] Masachika**
Is that how it works?
**[11:03] Nonoa**
Surely you get how it feels to be drawn
to someone with a fire you don't possess.
**[11:11] Nonoa**
Now, we're both miserable cynics attached
to our shining-rays-of-positivity partners.
**[11:16] Nonoa**
Why don't we get our
miserable little scheme rolling?
**[11:18] Masachika**
I don't know if I would go that far, but okay.
**[11:22] Masachika**
My proposal is simple.
**[11:24] Masachika**
We spread a rumor giving a plausible
explanation to why Taniyama left that day.
**[11:30] Nonoa**
To make it seem like she
didn't run away from a fight?
**[11:35] Nonoa**
Are you sure?
It'll bring your victory into question.
**[11:38] Masachika**
That's fine by us.
**[11:40] Nonoa**
Huh...
**[11:42] Nonoa**
Well, she's my partner. It's my job
to clean up after her to begin with.
**[11:48] Nonoa**
So yeah, we have a deal. See ya.
**[11:52] Masachika**
Y-Yeah.
**[11:54] Masachika**
* You know what this reminds me of? That manga*
* scene where you summon your trusty spy*
**[11:59] Masachika**
* and say, "Follow 'em.*
* Make sure not to be spotted."*
**[12:04] Masachika**
Ayano.
**[12:05] Ayano**
Yes, Masachika-sama?
**[12:06] Masachika**
Whoa! Why are you here?!
**[12:08] Ayano**
Huh? Because you summoned me?
**[12:12] Yuki**
Don't go ignoring me now, Brother.
**[12:15] Masachika**
Seriously, what are you two doing here?
**[12:19] Yuki**
Oh, we noticed you approaching
Lady Nonoa, an enemy.
**[12:25] Yuki**
So we hid behind the teacher's desk
to eavesdrop on you.
**[12:28] Masachika**
The damn desk again?
**[12:30] Masachika**
And? What's the real story?
**[12:33] Yuki**
We were pretending to have a secret meeting,
**[12:35] Yuki**
not knowing that an actual
secret meeting would take place here.
**[12:38] Masachika**
What is *wrong* with you two?
**[12:41] Alya**
Kuze-kun? Are you here?
**[12:47] Alya**
Oh?
**[12:49] Masachika**
Alya-san? You're not jumping
to conclusions, are you?
**[12:53] Alya**
What do you mean? There's nothing wrong
with three childhood friends hanging out.
**[12:59] Alya**
Well, enjoy yourselves.
**[13:00] Masachika**
A-Alya!
***SIGN*** Bah! Leaving me out of the fun?
**[13:07] Yuki**
Bro...
**[13:09] Yuki**
You just *know* she went,
**[13:10] Yuki**
"I made lunch for Kuze-kun to repay him
for helping me in the debate. Where is he?"
**[13:16] Yuki**
and looked for you all over school,
only to be hit in the face with disappointment.
**[13:19] Masachika**
Quit fabricating the most cliched of setups!
**[13:35] (Flashback) Sayaka**
It was a different boy last time.
**[13:37] (Flashback) Nonoa**
Was it?
**[13:39] (Flashback) Nonoa**
Well, he's my boyfriend now,
so I figured why not.
**[13:49] (Flashback) Nonoa**
Quit selling yourself short!
**[13:52] (Flashback) Nonoa**
You need to value yourself more!
**[13:57] Nonoa**
She didn't have to get that mad.
**[14:00] Girl 3**
You're finally back, Nonoa.
**[14:03] Girl 3**
What was that all about?
**[14:04] Nonoa**
Oh, he was asking about Sayacchi.
**[14:08] Nonoa**
He wanted to know why
she skipped school today.
**[14:11] Girl 3**
Taniyama's skipping today?
**[14:13] Girl 2**
Feeling down over losing the debate?
**[14:15] Nonoa**
Oh, nah. It's my fault.
**[14:19] Nonoa**
Besides, she only left the debate
because she was mad at me.
**[14:23] Boy X**
H-Huh?
**[14:25] Girl 2**
What do you mean?
**[14:26] Nonoa**
She found out halfway through student congress
that I had plants in the audience.
**[14:33] Nonoa**
Y'know how it goes.
**[14:36] Masachika**
Again, I really just happened
to run into Yuki and Ayano there.
**[14:40] Alya**
Oh, yeah?
**[14:42] Masachika**
Not buying it, huh?
**[14:44] Alya**
Please, you don't need to make excuses.
**[14:47] Alya**
I'm glad you three
childhood friends are so close.
**[14:51] Masachika**
Oh, all that aside,
**[14:53] Masachika**
will you study with me after school today?
**[14:56] Alya**
You? Study? What kind of sick joke is that?
**[14:59] Masachika**
Now that's just rude, plain and simple.
**[15:07] Masachika**
Um... Alya-san?
**[15:09] Alya**
What?
**[15:11] Masachika**
Aren't you sitting a little close?
**[15:13] Alya**
Is that a problem?
**[15:15] Masachika**
Not really, no.
**[15:17] Masachika**
*I guess it's fine as long as nobody s...ees?!*
**[15:21] Yuki**
My, I apologize. I should have knocked.
**[15:25] Masachika**
*Sister of mine!*
**[15:28] Yuki**
Are you preparing for exams?
**[15:30] Yuki**
If you don't mind, may we join you as well?
***SIGN*** No.
**[15:36] Masachika**
Alya? You heard her. What do you say?
**[15:40] Alya**
Sure. I don't see a reason to refuse.
**[15:43] Masachika**
Yeah?
**[15:44] Yuki**
Thank you kindly.
***SIGN*** I'd prefer we were alone.
**[15:48] Masachika**
*You cutie, you! Quit being so adorable!*
**[15:56] Alya**
All you've been doing is reading the solutions.
**[16:01] Alya**
Is that really going to help you prepare?
**[16:03] Masachika**
Tearing my hair out over problems
I don't get is a waste of time.
**[16:07] Masachika**
Time better spent
getting the solutions into my head.
**[16:11] Alya**
How will you learn to put theory
into practice like that?
**[16:15] Yuki**
Not to worry.
**[16:16] Yuki**
Masachika-kun's always been like that.
**[16:19] Yuki**
Right, Ayano?
**[16:21] Ayano**
That's right. This is how Masachika-sama
has always studied.
**[16:28] Masachika**
Ayano? Is there something you don't get?
**[16:31] Ayano**
Oh, no...
**[16:33] Ayano**
Actually, yes.
**[16:36] Masachika**
What is it?
**[16:37] Ayano**
No, I couldn't bother you with it.
**[16:41] Masachika**
Relax. I'm not gonna
mock you over it or anything.
**[16:44] Ayano**
Actually, I would prefer it if you berated me
and called me a useless waste of space.
**[16:50] Masachika**
Not happening.
**[16:52] Ayano**
Is that so...
**[16:54] Masachika**
Wait, why do you sound disappointed?
**[16:56] Alya**
Are you three really just childhood friends?
**[17:00] Masachika**
Huh? Yeah, why?
**[17:03] Alya**
I mean, you seem awfully close,
even for childhood friends.
**[17:10] Masha**
Hi there, everyone.
**[17:16] Masachika**
Mm! Masha-senpai's tea is simply divine!
**[17:21] Masha**
My, what is this?
**[17:23] Masachika**
Oh, Sarashina-senpai apparently
confiscated that book from someone.

Huh...

Alya-chan, try it on me!
**[17:31] Alya**
No way.
**[17:32] Masha**
What? Why not?!
**[17:34] Masha**
I wanna try getting hypnotized!
**[17:37] Masha**
I wanna, I wanna!
**[17:39] Alya**
Again, no.
**[17:42] Masha**
Then you do it, Kuze-kun.
**[17:44] Masachika**
Huh? Why me?
**[17:45] Masha**
I mean, Alya-chan's being a big old meanie.
**[17:49] Masachika**
Well, if you insist.

We start off with... hypnotic induction?
***SIGN*** Hypnosis for Dummies

**[17:54] Masha**

Uh... Okay, focus your eyes on my finger.
**[18:00] Masha**
Your finger?
**[18:01] Masachika**
That's what it says.
**[18:02] Masha**
Got it.
**[18:07] Masachika**
"You feel your mind slowly go into a trance.
**[18:11] Masachika**
Keep your eyes right here.
**[18:14] Masachika**
You're getting very, very sleepy.
**[18:19] Masachika**
When I clap my hands,
you will fall into a deep slumber."
**[18:25] Masachika**
Three, two, one... There.
**[18:29] Masachika**
Huh? Masha-san?
**[18:31] Yuki**
Masha-senpai? Did you really get hypnotized?
**[18:35] Alya**
Yeah, yeah, very funny. Knock it off.
**[18:39] Alya**
Masha?
**[18:40] Masachika**
U-Uh, let me undo the hypnosis.
**[18:44] Masachika**
Let's see...

"When I touch your shoulder,
you will snap out of it."
**[18:50] Masachika**
One...
**[18:50] Masachika**
Two, and there.
**[18:56] Masha**
Um... Why did you stop, Kuze-kun?
**[18:59] Masachika**
What?
**[19:00] Masha**
Come on! You said you would clap your hands!
**[19:04] Masachika**
Wait, what? Do you not remember?
**[19:07] Masha**
Remember what?
**[19:09] Alya**
Seriously, Masha, that's not funny.
**[19:12] Yuki**
Alya-san, why don't you have
Masachika-kun hypnotize you too, then?
**[19:17] Alya**
Huh?
**[19:17] Masachika**
Wha?
**[19:18] Yuki**
You'll know whether she's telling
the truth or not one way or another.
**[19:24] Alya**
I'm ready. Go ahead.
**[19:26] Masachika**
Are we seriously doing this?
**[19:27] Alya**
Get on with it.
We're putting an end to this farce.
**[19:31] Masachika**
Fine. Focus your eyes on my finger.
**[19:35] Masachika**
Way too easy.
**[19:38] Yuki**
And why the heck did Masha-senpai
get hypnotized again?
**[19:43] Masachika**
Don't ask me.
**[19:44] Yuki**
For real? It's a booby-booty
grabby-grabby free-for-all!
**[19:47] Masachika**
Don't say the quiet part out loud!

U-Uh... Make them reveal their deepest,
darkest secrets, maybe?
**[20:08] Masachika**
"Make them unrestrained"?
Couldn't you have been more specific?
**[20:10] Yuki**
Yeah, well, your answer was just depraved.
**[20:14] Yuki**
As for Ayano, not a bad answer,
but it's a bit lacking in impact.
**[20:18] Yuki**
Making them totally unrestrained
is the only right choice here.
**[20:23] Yuki**
They might even reveal their most
embarrassing secrets in that state.
**[20:26] Ayano**
Your answer even covered my suggestion?
You never cease to amaze.
**[20:30] Yuki**
There. I win by majority vote.
**[20:35] Yuki**
Alya-san, Masha-senpai, you two
will become more and more unrestrained.
**[20:41] Yuki**
Freed from the shackles of your inhibitions,
you will lay your minds and bodies bare.
**[20:50] Yuki**
Wait, what? For real?
**[20:53] Masachika**
Mm?
**[20:55] Masachika**
Huh?
**[21:01] Masachika**
Tell me, Yuki. Why am I getting
infinite head pats right now?
**[21:06] Masha**
Good boy! Good girl!
**[21:08] Yuki**
G-Gee, I wonder why.
**[21:11] Masachika**
Look me in the eye, culprit.
**[21:13] Yuki**
I didn't expect Masha-senpai's
harem time to begin, not Masachika-kun's.
**[21:18] Masachika**
*That's* your problem?
**[21:20] Masha**
Good boy, good girl.
**[21:23] Masachika**
Uh, Masha-san?
**[21:24] Masachika**
Could you let me go now?
**[21:26] Masha**
What? Not happening.
**[21:29] Masachika**
Not happening, huh?
**[21:31] Alya**
...oying.
**[21:34] Alya**
Off with you.
**[21:36] Masachika**
A-Alya? What are you doing?

Office worker who's a superstar at work
but a slob at home, pictured in the morning!
**[21:50] Masachika**
Right?!
**[21:55] Masachika**
Whoa, what? Why'd they both
start taking off their clothes?!
**[21:58] Yuki**
Right, I did say they'd get more unrestrained
and lay their minds and bodies bare.
**[22:07] Masachika**
Er... When I touch your shoulder,
you will snap out of it!
**[22:11] Masachika**
One, two, and there!
**[22:14] Masachika**
Hey! That didn't work!
**[22:16] Yuki**
Uh... When I touch your shoulder,
you will snap out of it.
**[22:21] Yuki**
One, two, and there.
**[22:25] Yuki**
Yikes. This ain't working.
**[22:27] Masachika**
Are you serious?!

What are we gonna do about this?!

but now we can't snap them out of it.
**[22:48] Chisato**
Yeah?
**[22:49] Chisato**
Hup. Excuse me one moment.
**[22:56] Masachika**
Whoa, whoa, whoa! What?

What the hell was that?!

Huh? Why am I on the couch?

What?
**[23:11] Yuki**
Um, I can understand your confusion,
**[23:14] Yuki**
but you should probably get dressed first.
**[23:17] Masha**
Huh?
**[23:19] Alya**
Get dressed...?
**[23:26] Alya**
H-How did this happen?!
**[23:28] Masha**
No!
**[23:29] Chisato**
By the way, Kuze-kun.
**[23:31] Chisato**
You saw, didn't you?
**[23:35] Chisato**
Do you want a reset too?

***SIGN*** Birthday Party, Much Belated
**[02:40] Alya**
*Good evening, Kuze-kun.*
**[02:42] Masachika**
*Yeah, hey there. Something the matter?*
**[02:45] Alya**
I didn't call for a specific
reason or anything.
**[02:49] Masachika**
What's up? Did you miss me that badly?
***SIGN*** Is that a problem?
**[02:57] Alya**
What was that thud?
**[02:59] Masachika**
*Nothing. So, how can I help you?*
**[03:02] Alya**
Well, you said you're prone
to slacking when you're alone.
**[03:06] Alya**
So I was wondering if you were
studying like you're supposed to.
**[03:08] Alya**
* So I was wondering if you were*
* studying like you're supposed to.*
**[03:09] Masachika**
Nope. I can't stay motivated.
**[03:13] Masachika**
I'd like to know how you
keep it up at times like these.
**[03:17] Alya**
*"Keep it up"?*
**[03:18] Alya**
No idea. I don't lose
motivation to begin with.
**[03:22] Masachika**
*Seriously? That's crazy.*
**[03:25] Alya**
*If you're having trouble staying focused,*
**[03:27] Alya**
*why don't we make a bet?*
**[03:29] Masachika**
Bet?
**[03:30] Alya**
What's your goal for these exams?
**[03:32] Masachika**
*I'd like to place in the top 30 for our year.*
**[03:35] Alya**
Aiming big, are we? Well, that works.
**[03:38] Alya**
If you manage to hit that goal,
**[03:41] Alya**
I'll do one thing you ask for—anything.
**[03:44] Masachika**
Hm? *Anything,* you say?
**[03:46] Alya**
*Within reason, obviously.*
**[03:49] Alya**
What do you say?
**[03:50] Masachika**
*What if I don't hit the goal?*
**[03:52] Alya**
You'll do one thing I ask for, of course.
**[03:56] Masachika**
*Kinda does things for me, to be honest.*
**[03:58] Alya**
Kuze-kun?
**[03:59] Masachika**
Wait, I wasn't implying I wanted to be
ordered around in a masochistic way or anything!
***SIGN*** Given name.
**[04:06] Masachika**
Huh?
**[04:07] Alya**
I just gave you a hint.
**[04:09] Masachika**
*Not much of a hint when you say it in Russian.*
**[04:11] Alya**
Heh, I know that.
**[04:14] Alya**
*Anyway, do we have a deal?*
**[04:16] Masachika**
Yeah, you're on.
**[04:18] Masachika**
I'm gonna make you regret offering that bet!
**[04:21] Alya**
*Oh, I'd love to see you try.*
**[04:25] Masachika**
*You've gotten better at ignoring my outbursts.*
**[04:27] Masachika**
*You're making big bro cry.*
**[04:29] Alya**
Since when have you been my big bro?
**[04:32] Alya**
We're the same age!
**[04:34] Masachika**
*Huh? Isn't your birthday November 7th?*
**[04:38] Alya**
*It is... How do you know that?*
**[04:41] Masachika**
I think you mentioned it in your
class introduction when you transferred in.
**[04:44] Masachika**
Anyway, that's not important.
**[04:47] Masachika**
*My birthday is April 9th.*
**[04:50] Masachika**
*I've already turned sixteen.*
**[04:51] Masachika**
I've already turned sixteen.
**[04:57] Masachika**
Anyway, thanks for checking in, Alya.
**[04:59] Masachika**
See you tomorrow.
**[05:01] Alya**
*Yeah, see you.*
**[05:05] Masachika**
I can't believe she realized I'd lost focus.
**[05:09] Masachika**
Are our minds linked or something?
**[05:14] Alya**
I called because
I got spooked by a horror show.
**[05:17] Alya**
No chance I was telling him that...
**[05:20] Alya**
But what the heck?
**[05:22] Alya**
Why didn't he tell me his birthday?
I would've celebrated it with him!
**[05:26] Alya**
Didn't he say we were friends?
**[05:31] Alya**
Kuze-kun, you jerk.
***SIGN*** Five Days Later

No, not particularly.
**[05:50] Masachika**
Wanna walk partway home together, then?
**[05:52] Masachika**
I'd like to discuss what we're doing
for the closing ceremony.
**[05:56] Alya**
Sure.
**[06:01] Masachika**
*Something's wrong.*
**[06:02] Masachika**
* She hasn't flirted with me in Russian*
* once since that phone call.*
**[06:06] Alya**
So, you wanted to talk about
the closing ceremony speeches?
**[06:09] Masachika**
Yeah... but first,
**[06:12] Masachika**
haven't you been acting kinda
different since the exam period started?
**[06:18] Alya**
I thought I'd made sure it didn't show.
**[06:21] Masachika**
It pretty much didn't, actually.
**[06:24] Masachika**
But I could just tell.
**[06:27] Alya**
R-Really? So you cared enough
to pay that much attention to me, huh?
**[06:32] Alya**
Even during exam period?
**[06:34] Masachika**
Of course I care. You're my partner.
**[06:38] Alya**
O-Oh?
**[06:43] Alya**
Then why?
**[06:47] Alya**
Your birthday...
**[06:48] Masachika**
Huh?
**[06:49] Alya**
Why didn't you invite me
to your birthday party?
**[06:53] Masachika**
My birthday what?
**[06:55] Masachika**
I didn't have a party. Who told you I did?
**[06:58] Alya**
You didn't have one?
You expect me to believe that?
**[07:01] Masachika**
Huh?
**[07:01] Masachika**
O-Oh!
**[07:03] Masachika**
Is it commonplace for people to have
birthday parties in Russia?
**[07:08] Alya**
Y-Yes?
**[07:10] Alya**
Is it not in Japan?
**[07:12] Masachika**
Dunno about everyone else,
but I haven't had one since elementary.
**[07:16] Alya**
Oh...
**[07:18] Masachika**
Oho? You wanted to celebrate
my birthday with me that badly?
**[07:24] Alya**
In Russia, leaving someone
out of your birthday
**[07:27] Alya**
sends a clear message that you're done
playing nice with them from that year forward!
**[07:31] Masachika**
Oh, yeah?
**[07:33] Alya**
What?!
**[07:34] Masachika**
Nothing. I'll spare you
from any further embarrassment.
**[07:38] Alya**
Oh, buzz off!
**[07:41] Masachika**
Guess we should celebrate it together, then.
**[07:45] Masachika**
Three months late, but I do want us
to play nice this year, too.
**[07:50] Masachika**
There you have it. I'll be throwing
a belated birthday bash.
**[07:54] Masachika**
Be there or be square.
**[07:59] Alya**
What the heck?
**[08:09] Alya**
Kuze-kun.
**[08:13] Alya**
Did I keep you waiting?
**[08:20] Masachika**
It's so hot.
**[08:22] Masachika**
Good thing we're not in uniform.
Those long sleeves are killer.
**[08:25] Alya**
True.
**[08:27] Alya**
The president's trying to introduce
a short-sleeved summer version, right?
**[08:31] Masachika**
Right.
**[08:32] Masachika**
But even if the proposal goes through,
it'll probably be introduced next year.
**[08:38] Masachika**
*Wow. People are seriously doing double-takes.*
**[08:46] Alya**
What?
**[08:47] Masachika**
Oh, I just noticed that
we're drawing a lot of attention.
**[08:50] Alya**
Ignore it. It's the price
I pay for being so beautiful.
**[08:54] Masachika**
You probably get hit on a lot
when you're alone, huh?
**[08:57] Alya**
Yeah. People keep approaching me on weekends.
**[09:00] Masachika**
Yep, called it.
**[09:02] Masachika**
How do you deal with it?
**[09:04] Alya**
I ramble in Russian until they go away.
**[09:09] Masachika**
I see...
**[09:11] Masachika**
* Phew. I was afraid she was fighting them off*
* with violence—verbal and physical.*
**[09:15] Alya**
Did you just think
something very unflattering?
**[09:18] Masachika**
'Course not.
**[09:20] Masachika**
Just glad you're not letting any sleazy
pick-up artists sweep you off your feet.
**[09:23] Alya**
Oh, is that a hint of possessiveness?
Acting like my boyfriend now, are you?
**[09:27] Masachika**
Well, excuse me.
**[09:28] Masachika**
I tend to wanna act like the boyfriend
when on a date, at least.
**[09:32] Alya**
You don't say.
**[09:34] Alya**
A date, huh? Right...
***SIGN*** It's my first.
**[09:41] Masachika**
*Yeah, I guess this is your first date* with me*!*
**[09:45] Masachika**
* I mean, there's no way this hottie has never*
* been on a date before, right?*
***SIGN*** TGIBeef Steakshack Jr.
**[09:52] Alya**
Is this the place?
**[09:53] Masachika**
Yep.
**[09:54] Masachika**
*Dinner here gets pretty pricey,*
**[09:56] Masachika**
* but at lunchtime, you can try a bunch of*
* different meats for a reasonable price.*
**[09:59] Masachika**
*Smooth choice, if I do say so myself!*
**[10:02] Masachika**
This—
**[10:02] Alya**
This place is great.
**[10:04] Alya**
I've come here with my family before.
**[10:07] Alya**
I remember thinking the venison was delicious.
**[10:10] Masachika**
Oh...
**[10:16] Masachika**
Ahem.
**[10:17] Masachika**
Okay, lemme give you a rundown of
how the closing ceremony plays out.
**[10:21] Alya**
Sure.
**[10:22] Masachika**
First, the presidential candidates
lay out their motivations and policies,
**[10:26] Masachika**
and then their running mates talk about
why they're backing him or her.
**[10:35] Masachika**
Now, here's the crucial part.
**[10:38] Masachika**
This event doesn't feature any formal
polling, but it has something similar.
**[10:43] Alya**
What?
**[10:44] Masachika**
After each pair speaks
comes the audience reaction,
**[10:46] Masachika**
and the people in the audience
*only* applaud for the pair they want to win.
**[10:51] Alya**
Uh, you mean some candidates could be met
with nothing but pin-drop silence?
**[10:55] Alya**
Does that happen?
**[10:56] Masachika**
It does.
**[10:57] Alya**
Yikes.
**[10:59] Masachika**
Frankly speaking, it's hard to see us
getting a reaction like Yuki will right now.
**[11:05] Masachika**
So our goal should be
to keep the gap manageable.
**[11:08] Masachika**
No need to try to beat her.
**[11:10] Alya**
An awfully passive approach.
**[11:13] Masachika**
It's a realistic assessment
of the current situation.
**[11:18] Alya**
Fine, I understand.
**[11:21] Masachika**
Also, we should try to make our speeches first.
**[11:24] Masachika**
The first pair usually gets a muted response
as the crowd weighs up their options.
**[11:28] Masachika**
So we'll have a ready-made excuse
even if Yuki shows us up.
**[11:33] Masachika**
Don't give me that look.
**[11:35] Masachika**
We do have some other options,
but they'd involve taking the gloves off.
**[11:39] Alya**
Like what?
**[11:40] Masachika**
Like playing mind games
on Yuki and Ayano, maybe?
**[11:44] Masachika**
But that wouldn't sit right
with you now, would it?
**[11:47] Alya**
It wouldn't, no.
**[11:48] Masachika**
It'd be a different thing
if they tried to start something,
**[11:52] Masachika**
but I bet even they
wouldn't go that far.
**[11:55] Masachika**
Not like they're Miyamae.
**[11:57] Alya**
What do you mean?
**[11:58] Waiter**
Here's your order.
**[12:03] Masachika**
Well, uh, here's to my birthday, I guess?
**[12:07] Masachika**
Cheers!
**[12:09] Alya**
Cheers.
**[12:17] Masachika**
This is delicious.
**[12:20] Alya**
It is.
**[12:22] Alya**
Were you the one who started
that rumor about Miyamae-san?
**[12:26] Masachika**
Hmm?
**[12:27] Masachika**
Oh...
**[12:29] (Flashback) Nonoa**
She found out halfway through student congress
that I had plants in the audience.
**[12:33] (Flashback) Nonoa**
Y'know how it goes.
**[12:35] Masachika**
Nope, that was all her.
She even started it herself.
**[12:40] Alya**
Really?
**[12:42] Masachika**
That put a stop to
all the shit talking about Taniyama,
**[12:46] Masachika**
but it also put the outcome
of that student congress in limbo.
**[12:51] Masachika**
Sorry. There might've been
a better way to do that.
**[12:54] Alya**
No, it's fine.
**[12:56] Alya**
I didn't contribute anything. I couldn't.
**[13:01] Alya**
I have no right to complain.
**[13:05] Alya**
Thanks for doing that for me, Kuze-kun.
**[13:12] Masachika**
Sure, don't mention it.
**[13:14] Alya**
What? Is that a blush I see on your cheeks?
**[13:18] Masachika**
Shut it.
**[13:19] Alya**
You're so cute.
**[13:21] Masachika**
* Whoa! She's not even hiding it*
* behind Russian anymore!*
**[13:25] Alya**
Here, as a token of my appreciation.
**[13:28] Alya**
Say aah.
**[13:31] Masachika**
*Oh, look. Somebody's overconfident.*
**[13:34] Masachika**
* She only gets aggressive*
* when she thinks I'm flustered.*
**[13:38] Masachika**
* Did she forget how she couldn't*
* use the spoon after the last time?*
**[13:44] Masachika**
Thanks. That was great.
**[13:46] Alya**
Yeah?
**[13:50] Masachika**
*Wha? She's unfazed?!*
**[13:55] Masachika**
*She's got me right where she wants me.*
**[14:03] Masachika**
Great meal.
**[14:04] Alya**
Thanks for that.
**[14:06] Alya**
Let me give you your gift.
**[14:08] Masachika**
Huh?
**[14:09] Alya**
Here you are.
**[14:11] Masachika**
You actually got me something? Thanks.
**[14:16] Masachika**
Whoa!
**[14:17] Masachika**
Talk about a fancy mug! This is really nice!
**[14:21] Alya**
Isn't it?
**[14:23] Masachika**
Thanks. I'll put it to good use.
**[14:26] Alya**
Yeah, you do that.
**[14:30] Alya**
Hm? What?
**[14:31] Masachika**
Uh, I just figured cups like this
are stuff couples buy in pairs.
**[14:38] Alya**
Aha, so you do get it.
**[14:41] Alya**
Of course I bought two.
**[14:43] Alya**
I'm already using mine at home.
**[14:45] Masachika**
Seriously?!
**[14:47] Alya**
So...
**[14:48] Alya**
What would you think if I said that?
**[14:54] Masachika**
*You know what?*
**[14:56] Masachika**
*She's really got me figured out today.*

**[15:07] Toya**
While we await our turn
for the parent-teacher meeting,
**[15:10] Toya**
I'd like to discuss
the summer uniform proposal.
**[15:12] Masha**
Okay, let me make some tea.
**[15:15] Chisato**
Yes, please.
**[15:17] Masha**
Oh, you sit back and relax, Ayano-chan.
**[15:24] Alya**
Kuze-kun? What's the matter?
**[15:26] Masachika**
Oh, nah, it's nothing.
**[15:28] Masachika**
So, Prez, do you have an update
on the summer uniforms?
**[15:31] Toya**
Yeah.
**[15:33] Toya**
Keep it between us, but I think we can
introduce the new uniforms after summer break.
**[15:37] Masachika**
Wait, really?
**[15:39] Toya**
Yeah. We're going to make a surprise
announcement at the closing ceremony.
**[15:44] Yuki**
That's wonderful news.
**[15:46] Yuki**
As much as I like this uniform,
it gets too hot at this time of year.
**[15:51] Yuki**
So thank you.
**[15:52] Toya**
Thanks for saying so.
**[15:54] Toya**
But Chisaki played the biggest role
in getting this proposal approved.
**[15:58] Chisato**
I wouldn't say that. You did this
by not letting up in the negotiations.
**[16:03] Toya**
Chisaki!
**[16:05] Chisato**
Toya...
**[16:06] Masachika**
It's amazing how easily those two
can enter their own little world.
**[16:10] Masha**
Okay, tea is ready.
**[16:13] Masha**
Here you are.
**[16:14] Masachika**
Thank you, Masha-san.
**[16:18] Masha**
S-Sure.
**[16:20] Masachika**
* Still bothered by the hypnosis*
* from last time, huh?*
**[16:29] Toya**
Looks like my parents are here.
I'll head out for the parent-teacher meeting.
**[16:32] Chisato**
Good luck with that.
**[16:34] Masha**
I'll clean up.
**[16:36] Masachika**
Oh, let me help.
**[16:39] Masha**
I'll take you up on that.
**[16:50] Masachika**
Uh, Masha-san?
**[16:52] Masha**
Hmm?
**[16:53] Masachika**
I want to apologize.
**[16:56] Masachika**
For the whole hypnosis thing.
**[16:58] Masha**
No, it's fine. I started it, anyway.
**[17:04] Masha**
And, uh... well...
**[17:06] Masha**
There's something I wanted to ask you.
**[17:09] Masha**
While I was hypnotized,
**[17:13] Masha**
what did I do to you... exactly?
**[17:16] Masachika**
Er...
**[17:18] Masachika**
You pulled me and Alya into your arms...
**[17:22] Masachika**
and gave us head pats.
**[17:24] Masha**
Huh?
**[17:26] Masha**
Is that all?
**[17:27] Masachika**
Yeah, pretty much.
**[17:29] Masha**
Oh, I'm relieved to hear it.
**[17:32] Masha**
With that said,
**[17:34] Masha**
did you, uh... see?
**[17:41] Masha**
Kuze-kun, you perv.
**[17:42] Masachika**
Sorry, it was kind of unavoidable.
**[17:46] Masachika**
*So even Masha-san gets mad about this stuff, huh?*
**[17:49] Masachika**
*But...*
**[17:50] Masachika**
* She's not the least bit scary.*
* If anything, she's positively adorable.*
**[17:54] Masha**
Kuze-kun?
**[17:56] Masachika**
Yes, ma'am?
**[17:56] Masha**
Are you actually sorry?
**[17:59] Masachika**
Whad ar' you 'oing?
**[18:01] Masha**
Punishment for a bad boy!
**[18:03] Masha**
Listen, you can't embarrass
a girl like that, okay?
**[18:09] Masachika**
Yes, ma'am.
**[18:10] Masha**
Okay, that'll do.
**[18:13] Masha**
Oh, looks like Mom's here.
**[18:16] Masachika**
You should go.
**[18:18] Masachika**
I'll handle the rest of the cleanup.
**[18:21] Masha**
Can I ask you to do that?
**[18:23] Masachika**
Of course. Good luck.
**[18:29] Yuki**
Sarashina-senpai and Alya-san are gone, too.
**[18:33] Masachika**
Yeah?
**[18:35] Yuki**
We're finally alone, just the two of us.
**[18:38] Masachika**
Guess I should go pick up Grandpa, too.
**[18:40] Yuki**
Wait up!
**[18:42] Yuki**
Why are you ignoring me?!
**[18:44] Masachika**
Look who's talking!
You're acting like Ayano isn't here, too!
**[18:48] Yuki**
You're being so cold! It's been a while
since we got some sibling time!
**[18:52] Masachika**
I guess it has, actually.
**[18:54] Yuki**
I guess you didn't care because
you were off having fun times with Alya-san.
**[19:01] Masachika**
Hey, it's not like that,
**[19:03] Masachika**
you... know?
**[19:04] Yuki**
Sniff, sniff. I was so wonewy.
**[19:07] Masachika**
Yeah? You were wonewy, huh?
**[19:09] Masachika**
Be a good girl and get off the desk, okay?
**[19:12] Yuki**
So, yeah.
**[19:13] Yuki**
Spoil me!
**[19:14] Masachika**
What is with your mood swings?!
**[19:16] Yuki**
What's the holdup? I don't have all day.
**[19:22] Masachika**
You want it... here?
**[19:24] Yuki**
That's right. I'm telling you to spoil me
right here and now, Masachika-kun.
**[19:29] Masachika**
I... understand.
**[19:33] Masachika**
Come to me, my little kitten.
**[19:36] Masachika**
Never mind! I'm done!
**[19:37] Yuki**
I was just kidding!
You were so cool, big bro!
***SIGN*** Grandpa

Hey, Masachika. There you are.
**[19:55] Masachika**
What's with the white suit?
**[19:57] Tomohisa**
Don't I look dapper?
**[19:59] Masachika**
Only peak narcissists and Western mafia
would dress up like that!
**[20:04] Tomohisa**
Oh, right.
**[20:05] Tomohisa**
I forgot to put these on.
**[20:08] Tomohisa**
There. Aren't I dashing?
**[20:10] Masachika**
You really *don*ned those sunglasses!
**[20:12] Masachika**
Okay, what movie influenced you this time?
**[20:15] Masachika**
Actually, why'd you even have this stuff?
**[20:17] Tomohisa**
I used my pension to buy it all for today.
**[20:20] Masachika**
Grandma's gonna have a word with you.
**[20:24] Tomohisa**
Kyotaro too busy to make it?
**[20:26] Masachika**
Well, he just got moved to
the Japanese embassy in England this year.
**[20:30] Masachika**
He probably has a lot on his plate.
**[20:32] Tomohisa**
He could at least make time
to meet your teachers.
**[20:35] Masachika**
It is what it is.
**[20:38] Tomohisa**
You're such a good kid.
**[20:40] Masachika**
Cut it out!
**[20:41] Alya**
We'll be going now.
**[20:43] Akemi**
Thank you very much, Sensei.
**[20:45] Masachika**
*Shoot!*
**[20:47] Alya**
Oh, Kuze-kun...
**[20:48] Tomohisa**
An Eastern European miracle!
**[20:50] Masachika**
Stop that!
**[20:51] Masachika**
Sorry about that, Alya!
**[20:52] Masachika**
This is my grandpa,
and he's a bit too obsessed with Russia!
**[20:57] Alya**
Huh? Oh... is that so?
**[20:59] Tomohisa**
May I ask your name, miss?
**[21:00] Masachika**
Seriously, you stop that right now!
**[21:02] Alya**
Uh... your grandfather seems very spry.
**[21:06] Akemi**
So, you're Kuze-kun?
**[21:08] Masachika**
That's me. Nice to meet you.
**[21:10] Masachika**
Would you be Alisa-san's mother?
**[21:13] Akemi**
My, such a polite young boy.
**[21:16] Akemi**
Nice to meet you too.
I'm Kujo Akemi, Alisa's mother.
**[21:20] Akemi**
She's told me lots about you.
**[21:24] Masachika**
Good things, I hope.
**[21:26] Akemi**
Oh, she positively beams
when talking about you.
**[21:30] Masachika**
Does she now?
**[21:34] Tomohisa**
Miss.
**[21:35] Tomohisa**
Would you like to join our family?
**[21:37] Alya**
H-Huh?
**[21:38] Masachika**
Hey, behave!
**[21:39] Tomohisa**
What do you say to marrying
my boy Masachika here?
**[21:44] Masachika**
Shut your damn mouth!
**[21:49] Tomohisa**
Is that all right with you, Masachika?
**[21:51] Masachika**
Again, shut up.
**[21:54] Akemi**
So?
**[21:55] Akemi**
Are you going to marry Kuze-kun?
**[21:58] Alya**
Quiet, Mom.
**[22:03] Masachika**
We'll be going now.
**[22:05] Tomohisa**
Thank you for your time.
**[22:08] Tomohisa**
So, let's talk about this Alisa-san.
**[22:12] Masachika**
Can we drop that topic... already?
**[22:31] Tomohisa**
Hey.
**[22:32] Tomohisa**
It's been too long, Yumi-san.
**[22:35] Yumi**
Indeed it has,

Yes?

Huh?
**[02:46] Masachika**
Alya? U-Uh...
**[02:49] Masachika**
Did Yuki tell you?
**[02:51] Alya**
Yes. She asked me to bring you
some medicine since you'd caught a cold.
**[02:56] Masachika**
Oh, yeah?
**[02:58] Masachika**
*That punk! Give me a little notice!*
**[03:02] Alya**
May I come in for a bit?
**[03:04] Masachika**
Huh? You don't have to.
Just the medicine is fine.
**[03:09] Alya**
Yuki-san asked me to nurse you, okay?
**[03:14] Masachika**
* Don't drag innocent strangers into your*

***SIGN*** Well, that's not true.
**[03:20] Masachika**

Oh?
**[03:28] Masachika**
No need to be so wary.

* That's not the kind of thing*

**[03:43] Alya**
Anyway, so...
**[03:45] Alya**
What would you like? Porridge or borscht?
**[03:48] Masachika**
What's with the selection?
**[03:50] Alya**
Hey, borscht is really good for you.
**[03:53] Alya**
The veggies are boiled until tender,
so it goes down smoothly even when you're sick.
**[03:57] Masachika**
Okay, okay. I'll have the borscht, then.
**[04:01] Alya**
Got it. Give me around four hours.
**[04:04] Masachika**
Nope, not waiting that long.
**[04:06] Alya**
Using a pressure cooker would
speed things up, but that's blasphemy.
**[04:11] Masachika**
Regular old porridge it is, then.
**[04:13] Alya**
Very well. Let me use your kitchen.
**[04:17] Alya**
Let's see... If I use pre-cooked rice...

Whoa...
**[04:47] Masachika**
My deepest thanks for
gracing me with the apron look!
**[04:49] Alya**
I see you're doing better than I thought.
**[04:52] Alya**
Think you can eat?

Probably.
**[04:55] Alya**
Here.
**[04:56] Masachika**
Thanks.
**[05:00] Masachika**
This is yummy.
**[05:02] Alya**
Yeah?
**[05:06] Alya**
Um...
**[05:07] Alya**
Where are your parents?
**[05:10] Masachika**
Dad's at work. No mom.

Oh, we're a single-father home.

Oh, is that so...
**[05:20] Masachika**
Thank you. That was great.
**[05:23] Alya**
No problem. Did you take your medicine?
**[05:25] Masachika**
Yeah.
**[05:27] Masachika**
I'm gonna go back to sleep.
Feel free to leave whenever.
**[05:30] Alya**
It's fine. I'll be studying in the living room.
**[05:33] Masachika**
Uh, you don't have to...
**[05:36] Alya**
You're sick. Worry about yourself first.
**[05:40] Masachika**
Yes, ma'am.
**[05:51] Masachika**
Damn, talk about oversleeping.
**[05:53] Masachika**
*Alya must've left by now, surely.*
**[06:02] Alya**
Should you be up and about, Kuze-kun?
**[06:05] Ayano**
How are you feeling, Masachika-sama?
**[06:08] Ayano**
Go ahead and lean on me.
**[06:10] Masachika**
H-Hey!
**[06:11] Masachika**
This looks like I'm pulling
my maid into my arms!
**[06:15] Masachika**
Gotta be careful in this day and age.
I might get canceled.
**[06:19] Alya**
What are you talking about?
**[06:21] Alya**
Anyway, get away from him, Kimishima-san.
**[06:24] Ayano**
I will not. This is part of a maid's duties.
**[06:27] Alya**
But you're Yuki-san's maid, not Kuze-kun's.
**[06:33] Ayano**
Yuki-sama ordered me
to look after Masachika-sama.
**[06:38] Ayano**
As such, this falls under my duties.
**[06:42] Ayano**
You can let me take over from here.
**[06:45] Ayano**
It's getting quite late. Go home, Alisa-sama.
**[06:49] Masachika**
*Hey! Phrasing!*
**[06:52] Ayano**
Besides, shouldn't you be
preparing for tomorrow?
**[06:57] Masachika**
Huh? What's tomorrow?
**[07:00] Alya**
Nothing. Just school.
**[07:03] Alya**
I'll be on my way.
**[07:07] Alya**
Take care of Kuze-kun, please.
**[07:11] Ayano**
Of course. You can count on me.
**[07:13] Alya**
See you, Kuze-kun.
**[07:16] Masachika**
Yeah, see you.
**[07:25] Ayano**
Alisa-sama made borscht for you.
**[07:28] Masachika**
Right.
**[07:29] Ayano**
Here you are.
**[07:30] Masachika**
Thanks.
**[07:32] Masachika**
Let's dig in.
**[07:40] Masachika**
This is great!
**[07:45] Masachika**
Whew. That was amazing.
**[07:48] Ayano**
Your medicine, Masachika-sama.
**[07:50] Masachika**
Oh, thank you.
**[07:53] Masachika**
Eating's made me sleepy again.
**[07:56] Ayano**
Will you be bathing tonight?
**[07:59] Masachika**
Hmm? I think I'll pass.
**[08:02] Ayano**
Allow me to wipe you down, then.
**[08:05] Masachika**
Yeah, no.
**[08:07] Ayano**
Don't worry. I'll use a blindfold.
**[08:10] Masachika**
How are you going to
wipe me down blindfolded?
**[08:12] Masachika**
It's fine. Let me just go back to sleep.
**[08:16] Ayano**
I'll sleep next to you, then.
**[08:18] Masachika**
Chill!
**[08:19] Ayano**
At least let me sing you a lullaby.
**[08:21] Masachika**
No need for that!
**[08:25] Ayano**
*Stare.*
***SIGN*** Stare...
**[08:27] Masachika**
Ayano?
**[08:28] Ayano**
Yes? How can I help?
**[08:29] Masachika**
Go back to Yuki's and call it a night.
That's an order.
**[08:33] Ayano**
Understood.
**[08:35] Ayano**
Good night.
**[08:38] Masachika**
Yeah.
**[08:43] Masachika**
I should've played that card right away.
**[08:52] Masachika**
Morning.
**[08:53] Ayano**
Good morning, Masachika-sama.
**[08:57] Masachika**
Seriously? I super overslept again!
**[09:00] Masachika**
You skipped school for me?
**[09:02] Ayano**
Your health matters far more
than some flimsy report card.
**[09:07] Ayano**
How are you feeling?
**[09:10] Masachika**
A lot better.
**[09:11] Ayano**
Glad to hear it.
**[09:13] Ayano**
I'll prepare lunch right away.
**[09:15] Masachika**
Thanks. That'd be great.
**[09:20] Masachika**
Thank you for the food.
**[09:22] Ayano**
Your appetite is back.
**[09:25] Ayano**
However, you should
take it easy today, just in case.
**[09:29] Masachika**
Oh, well...
**[09:31] Masachika**
School's done for the day, anyway.
**[09:33] Ayano**
Your medicine, Masachika-sama.
**[09:35] Masachika**
Yeah.
**[09:36] Masachika**
Thank... you?
**[09:39] Masachika**
*Hmm? Something's bothering me. What is it?*
**[09:43] Ayano**
Is something the matter?
**[09:48] Masachika**
Ayano, let me see this medicine's package.
**[09:52] Masachika**
Ayano?
**[09:55] Ayano**
Understood.
**[09:59] Masachika**
This drug contains shit that'd
make me sleepy, doesn't it?
**[10:03] Ayano**
So it would seem.
**[10:05] Masachika**
Why didn't you warn me if you knew?
**[10:10] Ayano**
I apologize.
**[10:12] Ayano**
I've committed a grave error
in offering you incompatible medicine.
**[10:16] Ayano**
You may discipline me in any way you see fit.
**[10:19] Masachika**
Was it Yuki who told Alya to get me this?
**[10:26] Masachika**
I'm going to school.
**[10:28] Ayano**
You should stay home.
**[10:31] Masachika**
I'll be fine.
**[10:32] Ayano**
However, I must say...
**[10:34] Masachika**
What is it?
**[10:35] Ayano**
I believe it is too late.
**[10:39] Masachika**
What?
**[10:44] Boy 1**
Our queen really is amazing.
**[10:47] Boy 2**
Yeah. Lady Alya did what she could,
**[10:49] Boy 2**
but she's a cut above.
**[10:52] Masachika**
*Dammit! I was too complacent!*
**[10:54] Masachika**
* I assumed she wouldn't try anything*
* until the closing ceremony.*
**[10:58] Masachika**
*I didn't expect her to make her move now!*
**[11:05] Masachika**
Alya.
**[11:07] Alya**
Kuze-kun...
**[11:10] Masachika**
What happened?
**[11:13] Alya**
I'm sorry.
**[11:15] Alya**
I messed it all up.
**[11:18] Alya**
I've wasted all your help.
**[11:21] Alya**
I...
**[11:24] Alya**
It started yesterday morning.
Yuki-san asked to talk to me.
***SIGN*** Student Council Office
**[11:30] (Flashback) Alya**
Kuze-kun's down with a cold?
**[11:32] (Flashback) Yuki**
Yes. Normally, I'd be the one
to go check on him,
**[11:37] (Flashback) Yuki**
but I have something else to take care of.
**[11:39] (Flashback) Alya**
Oh... Okay, I'll go.
**[11:41] (Flashback) Yuki**
You will?
**[11:43] (Flashback) Yuki**
In that case, here's the cold
medicine he always takes
**[11:47] (Flashback) Yuki**
and his address.
**[11:48] (Flashback) Yuki**
If you would, please.
**[11:50] (Flashback) Alya**
Got it. I'll drop by after school.
**[11:53] (Flashback) Yuki**
There is one other thing I wanted to discuss.
**[11:57] (Flashback) Alya**
What?
**[11:58] (Flashback) Yuki**
Would you mind making a guest appearance
on the lunchtime PA broadcast tomorrow?
**[12:04] (Flashback) Alya**
Huh?
**[12:05] (Flashback) Yuki**
I was thinking of covering
the recent student congress tomorrow.
**[12:09] (Flashback) Alya**
Tomorrow...?
**[12:10] (Flashback) Yuki**
Yes. It's a good opportunity to really
drive home your victory in the debate, no?
**[12:17] (Flashback) Alya**
I'm sorry, but I have no intention
of bringing that topic back up again.
**[12:22] (Flashback) Yuki**
Oh, is that so?
**[12:25] (Flashback) Yuki**
Then...
**[12:25] (Flashback) Yuki**
Forget that part, then!
Would you please appear anyway?
**[12:30] (Flashback) Alya**
Huh?
**[12:31] (Flashback) Yuki**
We can make our final
progress report for the first term!
**[12:34] (Flashback) Yuki**
How does that sound?
**[12:36] (Flashback) Alya**
O-Okay, that's more acceptable.
**[12:39] (Flashback) Yuki**
Yes! Thank you so much!
**[12:44] (Flashback) Yuki**
You two are truly set on not taking advantage
of that student congress victory, huh?
**[12:51] (Flashback) Alya**
You figured it out?
**[12:54] (Flashback) Yuki**
How could I not? I heard the recent
rumors about Nonoa-san's cheating.
**[13:00] (Flashback) Yuki**
Just the fact that you're
letting it spread tells the whole story.
**[13:05] (Flashback) Yuki**
Dearie me.
**[13:06] (Flashback) Yuki**
Awfully laid-back, aren't you, Alisa-san?
**[13:10] (Flashback) Yuki**
Are you even trying to beat me?
**[13:13] (Flashback) Alya**
What...?
**[13:22] (Flashback) Yuki**
Do you not sense any danger at all
in waltzing into my territory?
**[13:27] (Flashback) Yuki**
I must say, you're sorely lacking
in survival instincts.
**[13:30] (Flashback) Yuki**
You're such a sitting duck
**[13:34] (Flashback) Yuki**
that I just had to give you a warning.
**[13:37] (Flashback) Alya**
There's more to the guest appearance?
**[13:40] (Flashback) Yuki**
You finally caught on?
**[13:42] (Flashback) Yuki**
It's happening right when Masachika-kun's
out sick. You should be more wary.
**[13:47] (Flashback) Alya**
You're trying to take advantage?
**[13:49] (Flashback) Yuki**
Indeed. I wish to use this opportunity
to crash your stock as much as possible.
**[13:54] (Flashback) Alya**
You think you can toy with me
as you please as long as I'm alone?
**[14:00] (Flashback) Alya**
You belittle me far too much.
**[14:03] (Flashback) Yuki**
Oh, feel free to run to
Masachika-kun for help.
**[14:08] (Flashback) Alya**
No need. I will not be a burden to him.
**[14:14] (Flashback) Yuki**
Really, now?
**[14:16] (Flashback) Yuki**
Let me see what our ice princess
can do tomorrow, then.
**[14:22] (Flashback) Alya**
I will not be beaten.
**[14:25] Alya**
I prepared for it as best I could, of course.
**[14:29] Alya**
But then, after school ended today...
**[14:32] (Flashback) Yuki**
I'm terribly sorry, Alya-san!
**[14:35] (Flashback) Alya**
What exactly are you apologizing for?
**[14:38] (Flashback) Yuki**
I'm apologizing for the attitude
I took with you yesterday.
**[14:43] (Flashback) Yuki**
I felt terrible about scheming
against a dear friend like this.
**[14:51] (Flashback) Yuki**
So I took an overly aggressive stance
in order to force myself to go all-in.
**[14:56] (Flashback) Yuki**
I'm fully aware of how
self-serving this may sound,
**[15:00] (Flashback) Yuki**
but I do not wish
to sour our friendship, Alya-san!
**[15:06] (Flashback) Alya**
I-It's fine. Raise your head.
**[15:10] (Flashback) Yuki**
May I take that to mean
that you accept my apology?
**[15:14] (Flashback) Alya**
Y-Yeah. It just goes to show
how serious you were.
**[15:19] (Flashback) Yuki**
Thank you so much. I'm so glad to hear that.
**[15:25] (Flashback) Yuki**
This may sound like an excuse,
**[15:28] (Flashback) Yuki**
but there's a reason why I must
become president no matter what.
**[15:33] (Flashback) Alya**
What reason?
**[15:35] (Flashback) Yuki**
I used to have an older brother.
**[15:39] (Flashback) Yuki**
He was far more talented than I could ever be,
**[15:43] (Flashback) Yuki**
and our parents and grandfather
expected great things from him.
**[15:47] (Flashback) Yuki**
They were certain that he would take
the Suou name to greater heights.
**[15:52] (Flashback) Yuki**
But one day, he was gone.
**[15:55] (Flashback) Yuki**
I must live up to my family's hopes
in my brother's place.
**[16:02] (Flashback) Yuki**
It is my duty to finish what he started.
**[16:07] (Flashback) Yuki**
Ah.
**[16:08] (Flashback) Yuki**
It's almost time.
**[16:10] (Flashback) Yuki**
Are you ready?
**[16:12] (Flashback) Alya**
I am...
**[16:15] (Flashback) Yuki**
But, before that, how about you?
**[16:18] (Flashback) Alya**
Huh?
**[16:19] (Flashback) Yuki**
Why do you want to be
student council president?
**[16:25] (Flashback) Alya**
Uh... well...
**[16:27] (Flashback) Yuki**
It's time. Let's begin.
**[16:32] (Flashback) Yuki**
Good afternoon, everyone.
**[16:34] (Flashback) Yuki**
This is Suou Yuki,
student council spokesperson,
**[16:37] (Flashback) Yuki**
here to bring you another progress
report on the student council's activities.
**[16:41] (Flashback) Yuki**
We have a very special
guest joining us today.
**[16:48] (Flashback) Alya**
Kujo Alisa here.
The student council treasurer...
**[16:51] (Flashback) Alya**
Er, it's my pleasure to be here today.
**[16:55] (Flashback) Yuki**
First-time nerves, I suppose?
**[17:00] Alya**
It was the same after that. I was a total mess.
**[17:04] Masachika**
*Yeesh, that's devious.*
**[17:06] Masachika**
*She acted like the bad guy to fire Alya up,*
**[17:10] Masachika**
* only to bring out the sob story*
* before going live.*
**[17:12] Masachika**
* "I'm carrying the hopes of my entire family*
* on my shoulders. How about you?"*
**[17:18] Alya**
I'm so mad at myself.
**[17:20] Alya**
I was so easily shaken,
and I couldn't recover...
**[17:28] Masachika**
Stop right there.
**[17:29] Masachika**
Your thoughts are spiraling in a bad direction.
**[17:32] Alya**
What do you mean?
**[17:34] Masachika**
I'm saying you're playing into Yuki's hands.
**[17:37] Masachika**
Her goal wasn't to take the lead
using today's broadcast.
**[17:41] Masachika**
Just think about it.
We only had school in the AM today.
**[17:44] Masachika**
There weren't many students
remaining in school.
**[17:47] Masachika**
If she wanted to assert her dominance,
there were better times to do it.
**[17:52] Alya**
You mean she was simply laying
the groundwork for the closing ceremony?
**[17:57] Masachika**
Precisely.
**[17:59] Masachika**
She just wanted to throw you off your game.
**[18:02] Masachika**
I bet she was hoping to
leave you down in the dumps.
**[18:07] Masachika**
And here you are, mad at yourself.
**[18:14] Alya**
Okay, I get it. Thank you.
**[18:18] Alya**
Why are you smiling?
**[18:20] Masachika**
Hmm?
**[18:23] Masachika**
*Wow, I am, huh?*
**[18:27] Masachika**
Nah, just thinking she got us good.
**[18:31] Masachika**
I don't really know why,
but this is giving me goosebumps.
***SIGN*** That look suits you too... I like it.
**[18:46] Alya**
I didn't have an answer.
**[18:47] Masachika**
To what?
**[18:48] Alya**
I couldn't answer her when she
asked me why I wanted to be president.
**[18:55] Alya**
She's going into the election
to win it for her family,
**[19:01] Alya**
but I'm only doing this for myself.
**[19:05] Alya**
And I couldn't bring myself to tell her that.
**[19:10] Alya**
I'm ashamed of myself for wavering.
**[19:13] Alya**
I hate that I couldn't answer her
with my head held high!
**[19:19] Masachika**
Chin up, Alya!
**[19:23] Masachika**
Your motivations aren't
as noble as Yuki's? So what?
**[19:27] Masachika**
Remember what I said before?
**[19:29] Masachika**
You're a perfectly
captivating person as you are.
**[19:33] Masachika**
I know fully well how driven
**[19:36] Masachika**
and how earnest and hardworking you are.
**[19:40] Masachika**
So...
**[19:42] Masachika**
Keep your chin up. You're fine.
**[19:44] Masachika**
Your charms do not pale in comparison
to Yuki's in any way whatsoever.
**[19:49] Masachika**
I promise you that.
**[19:55] Alya**
That sounded almost like you were
professing your love to me.
**[19:57] Masachika**
Shut it! I'm never doing
that again, seriously!
**[20:01] Masachika**
Sheesh, I feel so hot!
**[20:03] Masachika**
My fever's coming back!
**[20:06] Alya**
Thank you. You helped me
regain my confidence.
**[20:11] Masachika**
Yeah? That's good.
**[20:13] Alya**
You're right. There's no point
comparing myself to her.
**[20:17] Masachika**
Yep.
**[20:18] Alya**
Even if Yuki-san's carrying on
her dead brother's spirit...
**[20:25] Masachika**
* Hey, sister of mine!*
* You made her think I'm dead!*
**[20:30] Masachika**
L-Listen, Alya...
**[20:33] Nonoa**
Heya.
**[20:35] Nonoa**
Wait, didn't you take the day off?
**[20:38] Sayaka**
Excuse me.
**[20:39] Masachika**
Oh, I just got here.
**[20:41] Nonoa**
Yeah?
**[20:43] Sayaka**
Close your legs, Nonoa.
**[20:46] Nonoa**
What's the big deal?
Not like anyone else is here.
**[20:50] Masachika**
So, what do you want?
**[20:53] Sayaka**
I know this is belated, but Kuze-san, Kujo-san...
**[20:57] Sayaka**
I apologize for my actions
and my appalling behavior.
**[21:01] Sayaka**
I'm truly sorry.
**[21:04] Nonoa**
My bad, too. I should've stopped her.
**[21:09] Nonoa**
Might be too late for that,
but could you please forgive us?
**[21:12] Masachika**
That's for Alya to decide.
**[21:15] Alya**
All I wanted was an apology
for those insulting remarks.
**[21:19] Alya**
As for you, Miyamae-san,
you didn't even do anything to apologize for.
**[21:23] Nonoa**
Uh, I think using plants
definitely merits an apology.
**[21:28] Sayaka**
Did you not bring up the congress
on the broadcast to protect my reputation?
**[21:34] Alya**
I didn't want to declare myself victorious
when I didn't defeat you in debate.
**[21:41] Sayaka**
I see. You're very prideful.
**[21:45] Sayaka**
But so am I.
**[21:48] Masachika**
Hold it, Taniyama. What are you thinking?
**[21:52] Sayaka**
Facts are facts, my reputation be damned.
**[21:57] Masachika**
So, what? You're gonna
go declare your own defeat?
**[22:01] Masachika**
With a PA broadcast?
No, at the closing ceremony?
**[22:05] Masachika**
Sorry, but as student council officers,
we can't let you run wild at the ceremony.
**[22:11] Masachika**
If you want to repay Alya's goodwill in kind,
could you do it another way?
**[22:17] Sayaka**
What do you suggest?
**[22:21] Sayaka**
Are you serious?
**[22:22] Masachika**
Yeah.
**[22:23] Sayaka**
I'm not backing you two or anything.
**[22:27] Sayaka**
I still think you should go back
to Suou-san's team.
**[22:31] Masachika**
Yeah?
**[22:33] Masachika**
But there's a reason I chose Alya.
**[22:35] Masachika**
And I bet you're starting to see it, no?
**[22:42] Sayaka**
Fine.
**[22:44] Nonoa**
No frickin' way!
**[22:48] Nonoa**
'Kay, count me in too.
**[22:50] Masachika**
Thanks. Looking forward to it.
**[22:54] Masachika**
See, Alya? This is what you do.
**[22:56] Masachika**
Now we can beat them.
**[22:58] Alya**
Huh? Beat them?
I thought we were aiming for a draw?
**[23:02] Masachika**
Nah, screw that.
**[23:04] Masachika**
They fired the first shot.
**[23:07] Masachika**
So now we gotta destroy them.

**[01:32] Alya**
If you think I'm lacking something as
a president, feel free to point it out.
**[01:38] Alya**
Thank you for your time.
**[01:41] Masachika**
Okay.
**[01:42] Masachika**
Now if you can do this at the closing
ceremony, we won't have a problem.
**[01:46] Alya**
Right. I need to do this at the ceremony...
**[01:48] Masachika**
Worried?
**[01:49] Masachika**
You did fine during the student congress.
**[01:53] Alya**
I only managed that because
I was focused on my own thoughts.
**[01:57] Alya**
Besides, we'll have a bigger
audience tomorrow, won't we?
**[02:02] Masachika**
That's right.
**[02:03] Masachika**
This auditorium will be packed
with students tomorrow.
**[02:08] Masachika**
But it won't change what we have to do.
**[02:11] Masachika**
Just focus on delivering your message.
**[02:13] Alya**
I don't think that's going to work.
**[02:16] Alya**
I realized that while watching you talk
during the student congress.
**[02:21] Alya**
How can I engage the audience like you do?
**[02:25] Masachika**
I really don't know how to answer that.
**[02:28] Masachika**
A lot of it comes down to experience.
**[02:35] Masachika**
Wanna know a little trick to break
the ice and grab the audience's attention?
**[02:40] Alya**
A trick?
**[02:41] Masachika**
Yep.
**[02:44] Alya**
Uh...
**[02:45] Masachika**
Simple, ain't it? And it works wonders.
**[02:49] Alya**
Okay, I'll give it a try.
**[02:51] Yuki**
Rehearsing for tomorrow?
**[02:53] Masachika**
Yep. You done with your work?
**[02:56] Yuki**
Yes, of course.
**[02:59] Yuki**
What seems to be the matter, Masachika-kun?
**[03:02] Yuki**
You're wearing a rather foul expression.
**[03:04] Masachika**
Oh, playing dumb, are we?
**[03:07] Masachika**
You realize your mask
is starting to crack too, right?
**[03:11] Yuki**
You don't say.
**[03:13] Masachika**
See? This is what she's really like.
**[03:16] Masachika**
Don't be fooled.
**[03:17] Alya**
R-Right.
**[03:19] Yuki**
Oh, Alya-san.
**[03:20] Yuki**
Are you perhaps disappointed in me?
**[03:23] Alya**
Not at all. I have no reason to be.
**[03:27] Alya**
It's only natural that people behave
differently in different circumstances.
**[03:32] Alya**
And you meant it when you said you wished
to remain friends with me, didn't you?
**[03:37] Yuki**
Yes, I certainly did.
**[03:39] Alya**
Then it's fine.
**[03:41] Alya**
You gave me an opportunity
to take stock of myself.
**[03:45] Yuki**
And?
**[03:46] Alya**
You asked me yesterday why I wanted
to be student council president.
**[03:51] Alya**
I intend to give you my answer tomorrow.
**[03:56] Yuki**
Your forthright nature
really shines through, Alya-san.
**[03:59] Yuki**
It makes you a fascinating person.
**[04:02] Masachika**
Boy, I'm so glad that whole thing
didn't ruin your friendship with Alya.
**[04:06] Yuki**
Oh? You almost make it sound like it did
sour my friendship with you, however.
**[04:14] Masachika**
Not really?
**[04:16] Masachika**
I just think it was *real* classy of you.
**[04:20] Yuki**
Are you mad at me?
**[04:21] Masachika**
Far from it.
**[04:24] Masachika**
Attacking your opponent's vulnerabilities
is the clear and obvious move.
**[04:29] Masachika**
Just... How do I express how I'm feeling here?
**[04:33] Masachika**
I don't really understand it
myself, but it's kinda like...
**[04:37] Masachika**
I half want to give my pet dog
head pats for daring to bite me,
**[04:42] Masachika**
and half want to teach it a lesson
so that it never tries again.
**[04:45] Masachika**
Know what I mean?
**[04:48] Masachika**
You took a bite, so you'd better
sink those teeth all the way in.
**[04:53] Toya**
Oh, there you are.
**[04:55] Chisato**
Heya.
**[04:56] Toya**
Let's do a final rundown of tomorrow's plans.
**[05:00] Toya**
That leaves the order of tomorrow's speeches.
How do you want to do this?
**[05:04] Toya**
Last year, the candidates played
rock-paper-scissors to decide.
**[05:07] Yuki**
That sounds acceptable to me.
**[05:10] Masachika**
Not to me.
**[05:11] Masachika**
RPS rewards reading your opponent too much.
**[05:13] Alya**
What?
**[05:14] Yuki**
You have a point.
**[05:16] Yuki**
How about a coin toss, then?
**[05:19] Masachika**
That's fair.
**[05:21] Yuki**
Very well.
**[05:22] Yuki**
How about Ayano does the coin toss,
and Alya-san guesses?
**[05:26] Masachika**
Nah, someone else should do the toss.
**[05:30] Yuki**
Not very trusting, are you?
**[05:32] Masha**
Hey, want me to do it?
**[05:35] Masachika**
Please, Masha-san, if you would.
**[05:39] Masachika**
If Alya guesses right, we get first choice.
**[05:42] Masachika**
If she doesn't, Yuki will get to choose.
**[05:45] Masachika**
Masha... Are you sure you're up for this?
**[05:48] Masha**
Hey! Don't mock your big sis!
**[05:51] Masha**
I can do this.
**[05:53] Masha**
Just watch.
**[05:56] Masha**
Go!
**[06:00] Yuki**
*If I go first and set the bar high enough,*
**[06:02] Yuki**
*I can score a decisive victory.*
**[06:04] Yuki**
*What if I go second?*
**[06:06] Yuki**
* The first pair will get polite applause*
* while the audience weighs its options.*
**[06:10] Yuki**
* It won't be an outright domination*
* if Alya-san gets to go first.*
**[06:13] Yuki**
*Should I take first dibs?*
**[06:15] Yuki**
* But it'd be smarter to go second*
* and see what Onii-chan does first.*
**[06:20] Yuki**
* Speaking of, why'd he try so hard*
* to intimidate me just now?*
**[06:24] Yuki**
* It's not like him.*
* He usually operates in the background.*
**[06:29] Masha**
There, I caught it!
**[06:31] Masha**
See? I did it, Alya-chan!
**[06:33] Alya**
You've made your point.
**[06:35] Alya**
Heads.
**[06:36] Masha**
Huh? Shouldn't you think about it some more?
**[06:39] Alya**
It's fine. Get on with it.
**[06:41] Masha**
Ugh.
**[06:42] Masha**
Okay, here.
**[06:44] Masha**
Oh, it's tails.
**[06:45] Masha**
Yuki-chan, do you want to go first or second?
**[06:49] Yuki**
Well...
**[06:51] Yuki**
*What if Onii-chan's outburst was all an act?*
**[06:55] Yuki**
*To what end?*
**[06:57] Yuki**
* Did he challenge me head-on in a bid*
* to distract me from something?*
**[07:02] Yuki**
*Alya-san!*
**[07:04] Yuki**
*Right. I got distracted by Onii-chan there,*
**[07:08] Yuki**
*but my target has been Alya-san all along.*
**[07:11] Yuki**
*She's surprisingly emotionally fragile.*
**[07:14] Yuki**
* Yesterday's broadcast*
* must be eating away at her.*
**[07:17] Yuki**
* And I was going to pile on the pressure*
* by making her go second!*
**[07:23] Yuki**
* Onii-chan's goal is to go first, get that*
* polite applause, and make it a draw.*
**[07:28] Yuki**
* In which case, I should stick to*
* the original plan and look to dominate.*
**[07:33] Yuki**
I'd like to go first, please.
**[07:36] Toya**
Okay, you got it.
**[07:37] Toya**
The Suou-Kimishima pair will go first,
**[07:40] Toya**
and the younger Kujo-Kuze pair will go second.
**[07:43] All**
Got it.
***SIGN*** Closing
Ceremony
**[07:49] Principal**
As we look back on the first term,
**[07:51] Principal**
I'm sure all of you have learned
a fair few lessons to take away.
**[07:54] Disciplinary**
Our aim is to continue to promote
self-discipline among the student body...
**[07:59] Pa**
Next, we have the student
council's presentations.
**[08:04] Pa**
Starting with the student council
president, Kenzaki Toya-san.
**[08:11] Toya**
Hello, everyone. Good job
getting through the first term.
**[08:14] Toya**
Two months have passed
since our student council has taken office.
**[08:18] Toya**
Our numbers may have dwindled, but I truly
believe in the team we have put together.
**[08:22] Chisato**
Don't go slacking off
just 'cause it's summer break, guys.
**[08:26] Chisato**
Remember to plug away
at the homework and workouts every day.
**[08:31] Masha**
It is important to take it one day at a time.
**[08:34] Masha**
Maybe I should take a walk
to the park every day myself.
**[08:38] Masha**
Speaking of walks,
let me tell you what happened...
**[08:42] Pa**
Next, we'll hear from Suou Yuki-san.
**[08:48] Yuki**
Ready to roll, Ayano?
**[08:50] Ayano**
Yes, Yuki-sama.
**[09:00] Yuki**
A very good afternoon to everyone.
**[09:02] Yuki**
I'm Suou Yuki, student council spokesperson.
**[09:05] Yuki**
I will be a candidate in next year's
student council presidential election.
**[09:11] Yuki**
I look forward to working with you all.
**[09:14] Boy 1**
Go for it!
**[09:15] Boy 2**
You've got my vote!
**[09:17] Yuki**
Thank you kindly.
**[09:19] Yuki**
Now, in light of that, I would like
to share a part of my vision with you.
**[09:25] Yuki**
What I want to do when I become
student council president...
**[09:29] Yuki**
is to bring about an academy
that takes its students' opinions seriously.
**[09:34] Yuki**
Oh? Were you not expecting
something so ordinary from me?
***SIGN*** Suggestions Box
**[09:41] Yuki**
I'm talking about this suggestions box,
to be more specific.
**[09:44] Yuki**
It has been available in our school for years,
**[09:47] Yuki**
but I believe most students
have never once made use of it.
**[09:52] Yuki**
I have addressed many of
the suggestions on my PA broadcasts,
**[09:57] Yuki**
but I've also found the box empty
most of the times I've checked.
**[10:01] Yuki**
Is that because you think writing in
is a waste of time and that nothing will get done?
**[10:08] Takeshi**
Yeah...
**[10:09] Hikaru**
That's right.
**[10:11] Yuki**
That's perfectly understandable.
**[10:14] Yuki**
Most council officers are busy dealing with
the challenges of their new posts.
**[10:18] Yuki**
With their hands full
just completing their tasks,
**[10:20] Yuki**
they find it difficult to divert
their attention to student needs.
**[10:25] Yuki**
However,
**[10:27] Yuki**
when I become president,
your wishes will be fulfilled!
**[10:31] Yuki**
For instance, you may want
the sports day competitions to be changed
**[10:34] Yuki**
or school festival events
to be altered or expanded.
**[10:38] Yuki**
Holding new events such as on Halloween
or Christmas might be fun too, don't you think?
**[10:48] Yuki**
As someone who was president
of the middle school student council
**[10:51] Yuki**
and is now an officer in high school,
I have the track record, the experience,
**[10:55] Yuki**
and the firm belief that I am uniquely
positioned to make all of this happen.
**[11:00] Yuki**
Thank you for your time.
**[11:04] Masachika**
Gah, that's dirty.
**[11:06] Masachika**
She talked a lot of bull and said
absolutely nothing of real substance.
**[11:11] Toya**
But that was a masterful speech.
**[11:13] Toya**
She's way better than I could ever be.
**[11:16] Masha**
Are you okay, Alya-chan?
**[11:18] Alya**
I'm fine. Just leave me alone right now.
**[11:21] Masha**
Jeez, quit being so cold.
**[11:25] Girl 1**
Who is that?
**[11:26] Boy 2**
I don't remember seeing that beauty.
**[11:28] Ayano**
I am Kimishima Ayano,
student council general affairs.
**[11:31] Ayano**
Outside of school, I serve the Suou family
as Yuki-sama's personal attendant.
**[11:36] Girl 1**
What's an attendant?
**[11:38] Girl 2**
Dunno.
**[11:39] Ayano**
And I intend to stand for next year's
election as her running mate.
**[11:46] Ayano**
Yuki-sama is a person of extraordinary
talents and exemplary conduct.
**[11:52] Ayano**
And yet, she shows not a smidge of conceit.
**[11:54] Ayano**
Her capacity for empathy
and kindness is unmatched.
**[11:57] Ayano**
Hmph.
**[11:59] Masachika**
A safe, well-curated speech.
**[11:59] Ayano**
Her grades are always excellent.
Her English is native-level.
**[12:02] Masachika**
No wonder they went first.
They're trying to shut the door on us.
**[12:05] Ayano**
She's even begun studying Chinese recently.
**[12:06] Masachika**
You doing okay?
**[12:07] Alya**
Yes.
**[12:08] Masachika**
Good.
**[12:09] Ayano**
She has shown herself to be gifted with
the piano, flower arrangement, and karate—
**[12:09] Masachika**
Do you remember
what this part of the event is called?
**[12:12] Alya**
The student council officers'
greeting, right?
**[12:14] Ayano**
...truly an academic and an athletic prodigy.
**[12:14] Masachika**
Exactly. It's a greeting.
**[12:17] Masachika**
Let's present you to the audience
and let them get to know you.
**[12:20] Ayano**
I have no doubt that she will be a fine
leader and student council president.
**[12:27] Ayano**
Thank you for your time.
**[12:36] Pa**
Next, we have Kujo Alisa-san,
the student council treasurer.
**[12:48] Girl 1**
She was funny.
**[12:49] Girl 2**
Kimishima-san, was it?
**[12:51] Boy 3**
Suou-san knows how to pick 'em.
**[12:53] Boy 2**
We basically have our next president already.
**[12:59] Boy 1**
Right?
**[13:36] Alya**
My apologies. I was so nervous, I seem to
have defaulted to speaking in Russian.
**[13:43] Girl 3**
Was that... a joke?
**[13:45] Girl 4**
I guess?
**[13:46] Boy 1**
How does that even happen?
**[13:49] (Flashback) Masachika**
Listen up.
**[13:50] (Flashback) Masachika**
If we end up having to go second,
start your speech in Russian.
**[13:54] (Flashback) Masachika**
The crowd will still be buzzing about Yuki
and Ayano's speeches when you step up.
**[13:59] (Flashback) Masachika**
So pour cold water on them by
talking at the audience in Russian.
**[14:04] Alya**
Let me start over. I am Kujo Alisa,
student council treasurer.
**[14:08] Alya**
I intend to run for student council
president in next year's elections.
**[14:14] Alya**
I only transferred into this academy last year,
and I have no track record to boast of.
**[14:21] Alya**
I can't say I fully understand
what council work
**[14:25] Alya**
and presidential responsibilities
entail just yet.
**[14:28] Alya**
There is a lot I'm lacking as I am now,
and I'm aware of that.
**[14:33] Alya**
However, there is one thing that
I can say with my head held high.
**[14:39] Alya**
And that is...
**[14:41] Alya**
I'm a person who can and does
work harder than anybody else.
**[14:46] Alya**
I have always strived to bring what I believe
to be the ideal outcome to fruition.
**[14:51] Alya**
That's because I believe that we as people
must never rest on our laurels
**[14:55] Alya**
and must always try to better ourselves
and aim for greater heights.
**[14:58] Alya**
I'll admit that my drive
has at times sown discord,
**[15:02] Alya**
causing me to experience bitter failures.
**[15:05] Alya**
But I learned from my mistakes
**[15:07] Alya**
and helped my class win the best attraction
award at last year's middle school festival.
**[15:13] Alya**
I didn't do it alone, of course.
**[15:17] Alya**
I'm sure there's a lot I'm lacking in order
to be a fine student council president.
**[15:29] (Flashback) Masachika**
I know full well how driven
**[15:32] (Flashback) Masachika**
and how earnest and hardworking you are.
**[15:36] (Flashback) Masachika**
Chin up, Alya!
**[15:40] Alya**
And yet I find myself here,
speaking to all of you...
**[15:44] Alya**
in my own words, straight from my heart.
**[15:47] Alya**
And I'm going to keep making up
for what I lack, one step at a time.
**[15:54] Alya**
If I don't think I'm worthy of being
president by next year's elections,
**[16:00] Alya**
I will take myself out of the race.
**[16:03] Alya**
So I ask you, please keep an eye out
for who I am and what I do from now.
**[16:07] Alya**
All of it will fuel me into becoming
the president you need, deserve, and want.
**[16:14] Alya**
Thank you for your time.
**[16:28] Masachika**
Good job.
**[16:29] Masachika**
That was great.
**[16:31] Alya**
You think?
**[16:32] Masachika**
Yeah. You were cool as hell.
**[16:36] Alya**
I feel like I got over the hump.
**[16:39] Pa**
Next up, we'll hear from Kuze Masachika-san.
**[16:42] Alya**
Good luck.
**[16:43] Masachika**
I got this.
**[16:44] Masachika**
All right.
**[16:45] Masachika**
Time to go win.
**[16:54] Masachika**
Heya. I'm Kuze Masachika,
student council general affairs.
**[16:58] Masachika**
You may have heard that Suou Yuki had
a VP that pulled the strings behind the scenes.
**[17:04] Masachika**
That VP? Yours truly.
**[17:07] Masachika**
Huh?
**[17:08] Takeshi**
Bro, that joke bombed hard!
**[17:15] Masachika**
Anyway, I think some of you might know
that I was once middle school vice president.
**[17:21] Masachika**
Which, naturally, would lead
to the following question:
**[17:24] Masachika**
"Wait, why aren't you running
with Suou-san, then?"
**[17:28] Masachika**
"Are you cheating on her now? Is that it?!"
**[17:32] Masachika**
Let me make this perfectly clear!
**[17:34] Masachika**
I dumped Yuki's sorry ass!
**[17:36] Masachika**
So this is not cheating!
**[17:39] Boy 2**
Dude, you suck!
**[17:40] Boy 3**
President hopping, much?
**[17:45] Masachika**
So, why did I dump Yuki
and decide to back Alya instead?
**[17:50] Masachika**
What kind of person do you all think is
most fit to be student council president?
**[17:55] Masachika**
A capable, responsible person?
**[17:58] Masachika**
One with mental fortitude?
**[18:00] Masachika**
I have to disagree.
**[18:03] Masachika**
I think the person most fit to be president
**[18:06] Masachika**
is one with the charisma
to draw people to them.
**[18:10] Masachika**
What did you all think of
Alya's speech just now?
**[18:16] Masachika**
I personally thought it was awkward as heck.
**[18:19] Masachika**
But, at the same time, I also felt
it was really genuine and heartfelt.
**[18:25] Masachika**
Alya's a straightforward person.
**[18:27] Masachika**
So much so that she used my idea
of starting her speech in Russian.
**[18:32] Masachika**
I chose to back her over Yuki because
**[18:36] Masachika**
I was drawn to that side of her
and wanted to support her in her pursuits.
**[18:40] Masachika**
And I would very much like
for all of you to do the same.
**[18:45] Masachika**
But one person's opinion
isn't going to be very convincing, is it?
**[18:50] Masachika**
So I'm going to tell you
something else—a fact.
**[18:53] Masachika**
When Alya becomes student council president,
**[18:56] Masachika**
Taniyama Sayaka and Miyamae Nonoa
will join her student council as officers.
**[19:04] Masachika**
Can you believe that?
**[19:06] Masachika**
Former debate rivals will be working together
in the same student council.
**[19:14] Girl 2**
No way!
**[19:15] Boy 1**
Yo, look.
**[19:16] Boy 2**
Whoa, seriously?
**[19:25] Masachika**
That's all from me.
**[19:27] Masachika**
We ask for your support to bring
a brand-new kind of student council to reality.
**[19:40] Masachika**
Alya, you made this applause happen.
**[19:53] Sayaka**
Now we're even.
**[19:55] Alya**
Yes, thank you.
**[19:57] Alya**
You were a great help.
**[19:58] Sayaka**
I won't be helping your campaign any more.
**[20:01] Alya**
I understand.
**[20:03] Alya**
I'll do my best to earn your approval as well.
**[20:08] Sayaka**
Don't let me down.
**[20:09] Nonoa**
Good luck with everything.
**[20:12] Nonoa**
If Alissa becomes president,
I'll be on your team.
**[20:17] Alya**
A... Alissa?
**[20:22] Alya**
* This is why I want to become*
* student council president.*
**[20:26] Alya**
*Your motivations won't overpower me anymore.*
**[20:31] Yuki**
They got us.
**[20:33] Ayano**
My apologies.
**[20:35] Ayano**
If only I had delivered a better speech...
**[20:38] Yuki**
It isn't your fault, Ayano.
**[20:40] Yuki**
I made the wrong call in trying
to win with strategy alone.
**[20:44] Yuki**
I suppose I should admit defeat for today.
**[20:48] Yuki**
Just for today.
**[20:51] Ayano**
Yuki-sama.
**[20:52] Yuki**
Hmm?
**[20:53] Ayano**
You're giving off amazing boss vibes right now.
**[20:57] Yuki**
Uh, I wasn't trying to.
***SIGN*** SUMMER BREAK!!!
**[21:04] Masachika**
Now, if I'd hit my goal,
it would've been the icing on the cake.

Talk about anticlimactic.

I guess there are things
even this prodigy can't do.
**[21:18] Alya**
Says you?
**[21:19] Alya**
So, any complaints about this outcome?
**[21:21] Masachika**
None!
**[21:22] Alya**
All good, then. Let's head home.
**[21:25] Alya**
Today was a lot. I'm kind of worn out.
**[21:28] Masachika**
Yeah, sounds good.
**[21:32] Masachika**
Hey, Alya?
**[21:34] Alya**
What?
**[21:35] Masachika**
Y'know, what about our bet?
**[21:38] Masachika**
I have to do one thing you ask for, right?
**[21:41] Alya**
I'll come up with something.
**[21:43] Masachika**
Didn't you have something in mind already?
**[21:47] Masachika**
You gave me a hint in Russian.
**[21:49] Alya**
Oh, that... I was just saying whatever.
***SIGN*** What the heck? I assumed you were going...
**[21:58] Masachika**

* "given name" or something?*
**[22:10] Masachika**
Uh...
**[22:10] Masachika**
Alya?
**[22:13] Masachika**
Well, we've now made
our address to the student body
**[22:16] Masachika**
and been recognized
as running mates for the election.
**[22:20] Masachika**
Why don't you start calling me by my given name
to show off that we're a close-knit team?
**[22:29] Alya**
I guess that's a decent idea.
**[22:31] Masachika**
O-Oh, yeah?
**[22:32] Alya**
Y-Yeah?
**[22:36] Alya**
Well, in that case...
**[22:40] Alya**
Masachika...kun?
**[22:44] Masachika**
Y-Yeah... N-Not too bad, I'd say.
**[22:47] Alya**
Y-You think?
**[22:48] Alya**
Let's go with that, then.
**[22:51] Masachika**
Y-Yeah.
**[22:53] Masachika**
Whoa! Better switch to our outdoor shoes!
**[22:56] Alya**
R-Right!
**[23:05] Masachika**
Alya.
**[23:06] Masachika**
Uh...
**[23:08] Masachika**
It may be summer break,
but we still need to prep for the election.
**[23:13] Masachika**
Yuki and Ayano are gonna be
together the entire time.
**[23:17] Masachika**
So, you know...
**[23:20] Masachika**
What do you say we meet up
