[00:05] (Flashback) Y. Masachika
Look, Mother! I got a perfect score!
[00:10] (Flashback) Yumi
You did great. That's very impressive.
[00:30] Y. Masachika
Oh...
[00:32] Y. Masachika
So that's not enough to satisfy her.
[00:36] Y. Masachika
I need to really excel if I want to
make Mother truly happy.
[00:45] (Flashback) Yumi
Stop it!
[00:50] (Flashback) Yumi
Please, just stop.
[00:59] Masachika
I dredged up some bad memories...
[01:02] Masachika
Okay, yeah, this is not good.
[01:06] Masachika
I've caught a cold.

[02:42] Masachika
Yes?
[02:45] Masachika
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
otaku fantasies, sister of mine.
SIGN Well, that's not true.
[03:20] Masachika
It was a false accusation, sorry.
[03:24] Alya
Pardon me.
[03:27] Alya
Oh?
[03:28] Masachika
No need to be so wary.
[03:30] Alya
I-It's not like I'm nervous.
[03:33] Alya
It's just... This is all very new.
SIGN And it smells of boy in here.
[03:41] Masachika
That's not the kind of thing
you want to say in a whisper!
[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...

SIGN Egg Porridge w/ Chicken Stock (using pre-cooked rice)
SIGN Requires around 12 minutes. Approximately 230kcal (one portion).
[04:21] Alya
Oh, I have to heat it in the microwave, huh?
[04:28] Alya
He's using it.
[04:32] Alya
Oh, uh, where was I?
[04:40] Alya
Kuze-kun, your porridge is ready.
[04:44] Masachika
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?
[04:53] Masachika
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.
[05:13] Masachika
Oh, we're a single-father home.
[05:16] Alya
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?

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.
