    Masachika-sama.
[00:11] Ayano
    Masachika-sama.
[00:14] Masachika
    Ayano...
[00:16] Masachika
    You need something?
[00:17] Ayano
    I apologize for startling you.
[00:19] Ayano
    May I have a moment of your time?
[00:23] Masachika
    Uh, okay.
[00:24] Ayano
    Thank you.
[00:26] Ayano
    Please follow me.
[00:28] Masachika
    She's like a ninja. Never fails to amaze me.

[02:04] Ayano
    Thank you for taking the time to—
SIGN    A Storm Arrives
[02:06] Masachika
    Skip the formalities.
[02:08] Masachika
    Get to the point.
[02:09] Ayano
    My apologies.
[02:11] Ayano
    Very well.
[02:12] Ayano
    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.

    Ta-da! Check out this week's bikini cover!
[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?

    All I had was a high card.
    I guess bluffs do work.

[11:42] Masha
    Oh no, Alya-chan.

[11:56] Masachika
    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.

    But...

    Why? Is she not mad at me anymore?
[14:10] Masachika
    What the heck did I do
    to score points with her?!
[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.
[14:59] Masha
    She's really letting her hair down for once.
[15:02] Masachika
    I know, right?
[15:03] Masha
    Oh, you can tell?
[15:05] Masachika
    I sure can.
[15:08] Toya
    She's enjoying herself?
[15:09] Chisaki
    Looking like that?

    Oh, are we out?
[15:15] Masha
    I should go get more.
[15:17] Ayano
    I'll go.

    Er, I'll have some lemon tea.

    You didn't have to say. You're coming with me.
[16:02] Masha
    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.
SIGN    Café Coffee

[18:37] Masachika
    Is she putting on a crazy otaku persona
    on purpose to act like a stupid little sis?
[18:44] Masachika
    Nah, that's definitely
    just who she is deep down.
[18:47] Masachika
    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.
[19:36] Masha
    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...
[19:47] Masha
    Good boy. A good boy needs praise.
[19:52] Masachika
    I don't get it.

[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.
