Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [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.

[03:47] 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. [06:38] Alya     Kuze-kun... [06:45] Masachika     I sense a disturbance in the air. [06:47] Chisato     Scoot in! [06:48] Toya     E-Easy for you to say! [06:50] Masachika     Wow, a situation straight out of a rom-com. [06:53] Masachika     As their junior, the right thing to do here     is to pretend I saw nothing. [07:01] Masachika     Whoa, wait a second.     Is a rom-com scene starting over here too? [07:07] Masachika     Welp, we got a problem. [07:08] Masachika     In many different ways all at once! [07:10] Masachika     All I can do now is divert     her attention elsewhere! SIGN    ELSEWHERE [07:19] Masachika     How long are you gonna keep hiding,     Prez, Sarashina-senpai? [07:25] Alya     What?! [07:28] Toya     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     saw or heard anything here? [07:43] Toya     Y-Yeah, good idea. Let's go with that. SIGN    Word of the Week     "Thoughtfulness" [07:46] Masachika     Glad we have an agreement. [07:48] Masachika     Let's go, Alya. [07:53] Alya     Er, um... I... [07:55] Alya     I just remembered something I need to do! SIGN    Student Council Office [08:05] Girl 3     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!

[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.
