SIGN    A Battle That Must Be Won
SIGN    Pastimers Club
[01:35] Olivia
    Issei no se, two!
[01:38] Hanako
    I lost.
[01:40] Olivia
    You owe me a drink.
[01:42] Hanako
    Oh, fine.
[01:43] Kasumi
    Uh...
[01:45] Kasumi
    I don't think we should
    do that kind of thing.
[01:49] Olivia
    What kind of thing?
[01:51] Kasumi
    L-Like, penalties where the loser
    gets ordered to go do stuff.
[01:55] Kasumi
    I don't think it's good.
[01:57] Olivia
    You tried to make me teach
    you English at first, too.
[02:01] Kasumi
    N-No, I'm just saying it's bad to
    order people around to go do stuff.
[02:05] Hanako
    I don't mind, though.
[02:07] Kasumi
    No!
[02:08] Kasumi
    Hanako-san, it always starts off simple,
    but it can escalate before you know it!
SIGN    Pout
[02:15] Hanako
    Oh, shoot.
[02:18] Hanako
    Kasumi-san's just being nice, Olivia.
[02:21] Hanako
    It can get out of control and
    become vicious, you know?
[02:27] Olivia
    I-I never had that kind of intention.
[02:31] Olivia
    I just wanted to make it fun.
[02:34] Olivia
    But... Sorry.
[02:39] Kasumi
    Well, I killed the vibe, too.
[02:43] Kasumi
    Then you can choose a penalty, as long as
    it's not ordering people to go do stuff.
SIGN    Mweeeheehee
[02:53] Hanako
    She seems so happy.
[02:56] Olivia
    Oh, hey, there's a game penalty that's
    customary where my Mom and Dad are from.
[03:01] Hanako
    A penalty from your parents' country?
[03:03] Olivia
    Yeah.
[03:04] Kasumi
    What's the penalty?
[03:05] Olivia
    The loser has to sniff the winner's armpit.
[03:09] Hanako
    What the hell?!
[03:10] Hanako
    Is that really a custom where you're from?!
[03:12] Hanako
    It's not just something your family does?!
[03:14] Olivia
    No, it's not.
[03:15] Olivia
    It's a traditional thing in our culture.
[03:18] Hanako
    No way, I swear, it's only in your family.
[03:20] Hanako
    You can't turn it into something so grand.
[03:22] Kasumi
    I-I can't object to culture.
[03:25] Olivia
    Yay.
[03:25] Hanako
    Kasumi-san's a slave to culture!
[03:28] Olivia
    Okay, let's play issei no se.
[03:30] Hanako
    Fine.
[03:31] Olivia
    You first, Hanako.
[03:32] Hanako
    Issei no se... three!
[03:34] Hanako
    Yay, I win.
[03:36] Olivia
    What are you talking about?
[03:37] Olivia
    In this case, the winner takes the penalty.
[03:42] Hanako
    Fine, I'll sniff Kasumi-san's first.
[03:44] Kasumi
    I-I'll pass.
[03:47] Olivia
    You can't.
[03:48] Olivia
    You have to let Hanako take her penalty.
SIGN    Sniff
[03:53] Hanako
    It doesn't smell!
[03:58] Hanako
    You're okay, Kasumi-san.
    You didn't smell at all.
[04:02] Kasumi
    O-Okay.
[04:03] ---
    Okay, next!
SIGN    Sniff Sniff
SIGN    Apocrine sweat glands!
[04:08] Olivia
    Huh?
[04:09] Olivia
    What's apocrine?
[04:10] Kasumi
    Uh... You don't need to
    know if you don't already.
[04:13] Kasumi
    Huh? Why is Hanako-san making that motion?
[04:18] Hanako
    Now I know why my cat grinds
    its nose when Dad farts.
[04:23] Hanako
    It's when it's extreme.
[04:26] Hanako
    It's when it's extreme!
[04:28] Olivia
    D-Did I smell bad?
[04:32] Hanako
    Huh? No?
[04:34] Hanako
    No, I can't tell her!
[04:35] Hanako
    It's a fact too cruel for a
    lady's gentle heart to take!
[04:39] Hanako
    Meow.
[04:41] Hanako
    I'm pretending to be a kitty.
[04:42] Olivia
    Oh, really?
[04:44] Kasumi
    That was totally not a "meow" pose.
[04:47] Olivia
    Okay, round two.
[04:49] Olivia
    Oh, but no raising two fingers and
[04:52] Olivia
    saying "one" or raising one
    finger and saying "six."
[04:54] Hanako
    I have to win...
[04:55] Olivia
    I have to win this battle!
[04:58] Hanako
    Kasumi-san, let's form an alliance.
[05:00] Hanako
    The two of us both raise two fingers
    so we'll have at least four.
[05:05] Hanako
    Then, if we say either two
    or three, we won't lose.
[05:09] Kasumi
    R-Right.
[05:11] Kasumi
    Let's go with that.
[05:12] Kasumi
    I'd rather not get sniffed anymore,
    either, if I can avoid it.
[05:16] Kasumi
    Issei no se... three.
[05:20] Hanako
    Issei no se... two!
[05:25] Olivia
    Issei no se... five!
[05:30] Kasumi
    D-Dodged a bullet.
[05:34] Kasumi
    Kasumi-san, it's okay if Olivia
    has to take the penalty.
[05:40] Hanako
    Is she...
[05:42] Kasumi
    ...on to us?
[05:42] Kasumi
    No, but if we don't guess
    right, it doesn't matter.
[05:47] Kasumi
    Issei no se... three!
[05:50] Olivia
    You got it, Kasumi.
[05:52] Olivia
    Hanako-san...
[05:55] Olivia
    She's not raising any!
[05:57] Kasumi
    U-Unbelievable.
[06:00] Kasumi
    The friendship of a girl is more
    fragile than a microscope slide.
[06:03] Olivia
    Yay, you're taking the penalty, Kasumi.
[06:07] Kasumi
    You don't want to get
    sniffed, do you, Hanako-san?
[06:10] Hanako
    Grinding your nose is a good life lesson.
[06:18] Olivia
    Here you go, Kasumi.
[06:22] Kasumi
    U-Um...
[06:24] Kasumi
    Err...
[06:27] Kasumi
    I'm going to go buy drinks for the two of you.
[06:29] Kasumi
    So please spare me.

    This is a shopping scene.
[06:40] Sensei
    "Can I try it on?" is "Can I try it on?"
[06:44] Hanako
    Uh oh.
[06:46] Hanako
    The candy I ate during break
    period still hasn't melted.
[06:49] Hanako
    I can't chew it down now.
[06:51] Hanako
    But I guess it should be okay
    as long as I don't get picked.
[06:54] Sensei
    Let's see...
[06:55] Sensei
    Let's have you translate this to English.
[06:58] Sensei
    Honda-san.
[06:59] Hanako
    Okay.
[07:02] Hanako
    It's like she's doing it on purpose.
[07:04] Hanako
    I have to keep it under my tongue.
[07:06] Hanako
    I'll take you...
[07:09] Sensei
    Why does she have her jaw out?
[07:11] Hanako
    It's...

    Are you okay, Honda-san?!
SIGN    Faculty Room
[07:32] Sensei
    Please don't eat candy during class.
[07:36] Hanako
    Okay.
[07:37] Sensei
    That was a close one.
[07:39] Hanako
    Yes.
[07:40] Hanako
    I'm sorry.
[07:43] Sensei
    I came to work at a girls' school
    because I was afraid of boys,
[07:47] Sensei
    but girls are scary, too.
[07:49] Sensei
    I avoided boys because I'm afraid
    of them, and now I'm still single.
[07:54] Sensei
    Almost all of the teachers at
    this girls' school are women.
[07:57] Sensei
    I don't have a chance to meet anyone.
[07:59] Sensei
    I wonder if I'm going to die alone.
[08:02] Sensei
    I get worried these days.
[08:04] Hanako
    Hey, Sensei, can I go to my club?
[08:07] Sensei
    Right.
[08:08] Sensei
    You're in the soft tennis
    club, right, Honda-san?
[08:11] Hanako
    No, I left the soft tennis club recently.
[08:14] Hanako
    I'm in the Pastimers Club.
[08:16] Sensei
    Pastimers?!
SIGN    Pastimers Club
[08:18] Sensei
    M-May I come with you?
[08:22] Hanako
    So I brought Sensei with me.
[08:24] Sensei
    Th-Thanks for having me.
[08:28] Kasumi
    Um...
[08:29] Kasumi
    Did it become such a big deal that
    a piece of candy nearly killed her?
[08:32] Olivia
    To be fair, I thought her mandrake
    shriek would kill me, too.
[08:37] Sensei
    Huh?
[08:38] Sensei
    Oh, no, it's not about that.
[08:39] Sensei
    The candy thing's fine now.
[08:41] Sensei
    You study pleasure seekers
    in this club, right?
[08:45] Olivia
    Huh?
[08:46] Kasumi
    Er, yeah.
[08:47] Sensei
    D-Do you do marriage matchmaking?
[08:52] Kasumi
    Err, no.
[08:54] Hanako
    Marriage matchmaking? Middle schoolers?
[08:55] Sensei
    So what do you do, then?
[08:58] Olivia
    Kendama.
[08:59] Kasumi
    Hagoita.
[09:00] Olivia
    We played issei no se, too.
[09:05] Sensei
    That sounds fun.
[09:09] Hanako
    She seems blatantly disappointed.
[09:12] Kasumi
    A-Are you looking to do matchmaking?
[09:15] Sensei
    Oh, err...
[09:17] Sensei
    Y-Yeah.
[09:19] Olivia
    Cute.
[09:20] Kasumi
    Cute.
[09:21] Hanako
    Squee!
[09:22] Sensei
    I've been at girls' schools
    ever since preschool.
[09:25] Sensei
    I thought it'd be okay, since
    I had fun being around girls.
[09:30] Sensei
    And then I realized I'm older
    than my mom was when I was born.
[09:35] Hanako
    Were you spirited away or something?
[09:38] Sensei
    Yeah, maybe, for, like, twenty years.
[09:41] Olivia
    So long!
[09:41] Sensei
    I thought maybe pleasure
    seekers at a girls' school
[09:45] Sensei
    might know of some amazing
    ways to find boyfriends.
[09:48] Sensei
    But it's a bit too late now, huh?
[09:50] Olivia
    Not at all.
[09:52] Olivia
    Let's get you an awesome lover.
[09:56] Hanako
    Are you sure about this?
[09:58] Hanako
    We can't even make it to a mixer.
[10:00] Hanako
    Are you sure we can find a
    boyfriend for someone else?
[10:03] Olivia
    Olivia-chan just talked out of her ass.
[10:06] Kasumi
    So what kind of person do you like?
[10:09] Sensei
    Masumi-sama!
[10:11] Kasumi
    She's going nuts!
[10:13] Olivia
    Do you know that person?
[10:14] Sensei
    I love shoujo manga!
[10:16] Olivia
    Oh, I see.
[10:17] Sensei
    I'm in love with the idea
    of being given a bouquet of
[10:20] Sensei
    purple flowers by a man
    strutting out of a Porsche.
[10:24] Sensei
    And I absolutely adore good-looking
    engineer men with superpowers
[10:27] Sensei
    who watch over Earth from the moon.
[10:30] Hanako
    Can we even find someone
    like that on planet Earth?
[10:33] Kasumi
    I-I heard people meet each
    other online these days.
[10:36] Sensei
    Online?
[10:38] Sensei
    I don't know if I can do it.
[10:39] Sensei
    Someone hijacked my e-commerce
    site account the other day.
[10:42] Kasumi
    I think I get it now.
[10:44] Hanako
    Oh, I'm on Twitter.

    Come to think of it, Sensei's
    an English teacher.
[11:26] Kasumi
    I need to take advantage of this opportunity.
[11:29] Kasumi
    C-Could you add this line to the profile?
[11:33] Hanako
    Huh? Sure.
[11:34] Hanako
    Let's take a picture of you, then, Sensei.

    like in a fancy Hollywood movie.

    at the flea market the other day.
[11:50] Sensei

    Okay, now that you have five members,
    we'll recognize it as a club.

    Please use the vacant room on the
    third floor as your club room.
[12:42] Shogi President
    Um...
[12:43] Shogi President
    Actually, there's a club called the
    Pastimers Club using that room.
[12:50] President
    Huh?
[12:51] President
    Say what?
[12:52] President
    I haven't heard about this.

    Where outside?

    That was quick.
[13:09] Sensei
    You should go hang out there on Sunday.

    You don't get it!
[13:13] Hanako
    You don't get it, Sensei!
[13:15] Hanako
    That's not the point!
[13:17] Hanako
    It has to be an extracurricular activity!
[13:20] Sensei
    I wonder if there's a local history
    museum or anything in Shibuya.
[13:24] Hanako
    And I want to go for a manicure
    or something on the way home.
[13:27] Sensei
    You won't get in in your school uniform.
[13:28] Hanako
    Sensei!
[13:29] Hanako
    I'm serious about this!
[13:31] Hanako
    Doesn't it sound super pleasure seeker-ey
    to go for a manicure in uniform cosplay
[13:35] Hanako
    after an extracurricular activity?
[13:37] Sensei
    I don't think you're much
    of a pleasure seeker,

    trying so openly to get
    permission from your teacher.

    Hanako can't hang out at the entertainment
    district without some kind of reason.

    Um, may we speak?

    Yet?
[14:23] President
    Huh?
[14:24] President
    Weird, they're confused.
[14:26] President
    Maybe I didn't say it right.
[14:28] President
    I have to say it more nicely.
[14:30] President
    Umm...
[14:31] President
    If anything, it's because
    you aren't doing anything.

    form to use this classroom, have you?

    This place is going to be the

    No way!

    Please use another room!

    in situations like this one.

    other classroom available.

    This person's completely heartless!

    I'm sorry, guys.

    It's all because I forgot to submit the form.

    W-Wait, President, hear me out!

    Sure, go ahead.

    fire lasers from your bum.

    Huh?

    Huh?

    You can take a break, Hanako.

    Huh?

    Was that not it?

    exists inside Hanako-san's mind?

    Um...

    Hold on, President.
[16:07] Shogi President
    Leave this to us.
[16:10] Shogi President
    Members of the Pastimers Club, why
    don't we settle this with a pastime?
[16:16] Shogi President
    If you win, feel free to use this room.
[16:20] Shogi President
    And if we win, we'll have
    you leave this classroom.
[16:27] A
    President...
[16:28] Hanako
    A-All right.
[16:30] Shogi President
    That's the spirit.
[16:33] Shogi President
    You can go ahead and choose a pastime.
[16:36] A
    President, President!
[16:38] Shogi President
    You may all be flustered over
    this sudden turn of events,
[16:43] Shogi President
    but let's take them down on their own
    turf and achieve ultimate victory!
[16:48] A
    Say what?
[16:48] B
    This president's good at pep talks.
[16:50] Hanako
    So we'll play shoe launching.
[16:54] Hanako
    I'll explain the rules in detail now.
[16:57] Hanako
    Whoever launches their shoe furthest
    from this line is the winner.
[17:00] Shogi President
    What rules? She just repeated*
    the name of the game.
[17:03] Hanako
    I avoided brainy games for your sake.
[17:06] Kasumi
    Y-Yay.
[17:07] Hanako
    Rock-paper-scissors.
[17:09] Hanako
    Okay, I'll go first.
[17:10] Shogi President
    Okay.
[17:23] A
    I think we can win.
[17:25] Hanako
    I'm sorry, I'll commit seppuku now.
[17:28] Kasumi
    Hanako-san, that might be one way
    to die, but it's not seppuku.
[17:31] A
    I-I'll do my best.
[17:36] Shogi President
    That was godly!
[17:38] A
    Godly? Thank you.
[17:40] Hanako
    I-I lost to that?
[17:42] Kasumi
    I'll go now.
[17:44] Olivia
    Launch it into outer space, Kasumi.
[17:52] Hanako
    A godly kick, Kasumi-san!
[17:54] Kasumi
    I let out a weird sound.
[17:59] B
    I'm sorry, President.
[18:02] Shogi President
    Don't worry.
[18:02] Olivia
    Here comes Olivia!
[18:13] Hanako
    Olivia for the win!
[18:17] Olivia
    You never said no swings.
[18:20] A
    P-President...
[18:22] Shogi President
    If that's how you want to play...
[18:28] Shogi President
    You never said no bikes.
[18:38] Hanako
    This person's amazing.
[18:44] A
    President!
[18:47] A
    President!
[18:52] Shogi President
    Pastimes are serious
    business, Pastimers Club.
[18:58] Shogi President
    You must risk your life for your pastimes.
[19:02] Hanako
    Y-You win.
[19:06] A
    Are you okay, President?
[19:08] Shogi President
    Can we stop by the hospital?
[19:10] B
    I'll follow you for life!
[19:12] Narrator
    And so the Pastimers Club was
    pummeled into the ground.
[19:18] Narrator
    But because the Shogi Club president had
    compound fractures all over her body
[19:21] Narrator
    and was forced to be home-schooled,
SIGN    Pastimers Club
[19:24] Narrator
    the other members of the Shogi Club gathered
    at the President's place for their meets.
[19:32] Hanako
    I think we took it too far, don't you think?
[19:33] Olivia
    Yeah, we took it too far.
[19:35] Kasumi
    They were way too athletic
    to be in the Shogi Club, huh?

[21:20] Olivia
    What's today's game going to be?
SIGN    Hide-and-Seek
[21:23] Narrator
    Hide-and-seek.
[21:24] Kasumi
    Hide-and-seek?
[21:25] Narrator
    Said to have originated from a
    "kakurebou" at an unknown village.
[21:31] Narrator
    Kakurebou is a ritual whereby
    one is deemed an adult
[21:34] Narrator
    if they are able to hide from
    the bears in the forest for a night.
[21:42] Kasumi
    Back to the forest you go.
[21:43] Kasumi
    There, there.
[21:45] Narrator
    Because bears are the messengers of the
    gods, it is forbidden to hurt them,
[21:50] Narrator
    and one may not bring weapons to the ritual.
[21:56] Kasumi
    There, there, good boy.
[21:59] Narrator
    One generally enters the mountains
    naked for this ritual.
[22:06] Hanako
    I'm spoiled for marriage!
[22:07] Narrator
    The Meiji government decreed this ritual
    banned due to the many lives it cost,
[22:13] Narrator
    but there are records of it having
    been done into the early Showa era.
[22:20] Narrator
    Or something.
