    I can't stay focused.

    Brain Hazard airs soon.
[00:17] Masachika
    No, no anime breaks.
    I know I won't return to studying after that.
[00:21] Masachika
    Exams start tomorrow, okay?
[00:33] Masachika
    Welp, it's on now.
[00:37] Masachika
    Wow, I've become such a scatterbrain.
[00:43] Masachika
    I've forgotten how to put in the work.
[00:51] Masachika
    Plug away, man.
[00:53] Masachika
    Gotta at least make sure
    my rep doesn't affect Alya's standing.

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
[05:36] Masachika
    Finally done!
[05:38] Masachika
    Good job powering through exams, Alya.

[05:44] Masachika
    Uh, do you have any plans after school?
[05:48] Alya
    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.
SIGN    Student Council Office
[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
[19:42] Masachika
    Oh, Grandpa's here.
[19:51] Masachika
    Grandpa?
[19:53] Tomohisa
    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 donned 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,
[22:37] Yumi
    father-in-law.
