**[00:05] Natsuki**
How did we end up here?
**[00:09] Natsuki**
At that moment, I wanted to hug her.
**[00:13] Natsuki**
The tiny Humanoid that was right in
front of me... seemed so precious.
**[00:19] Natsuki**
She felt like something I'd
never want to let go...
**[00:27] Natsuki**
Calm down! Calm down, me! This is Atri!
**[00:30] Natsuki**
The piece of scrap, defected Toaster!
**[00:33] Atri**
Natsuki... You missed some of my teeth...
**[00:38] Atri**
Make sure you brush them properly...
**[00:41] Natsuki**
I know... I just lost my mind for a second.
**[00:46] Natsuki**
Hey.
**[00:47] Natsuki**
Hey, wake up, Atri.
**[00:49] Atri**
Natsuki, you need to get the back more...
**[00:53] ---**
Why are you having such a convenient dream?
**[00:55] Natsuki**
Wait... do you
**[00:57] Natsuki**
actually dream...
**[01:03] Atri**
Natsuki, you pervert...
***SIGN*** THE RIPPLING NIGHT HAS COME
**[02:45] Saki**
Sir, I'm done...
**[02:50] Saki**
Mr. Natsuki?
**[02:51] Minamo**
Well, it is pretty hot.
**[02:53] Yoko**
I know, right?
Wait, that's not it.
**[02:56] Minamo**
It's not?
**[02:59] Ryuji**
Yeah, something definitely happened.
**[03:03] Minamo**
You think so?
**[03:05] Yoko**
Unlike girls, you can see it all over
a guy's face at times like this.
**[03:09] Minamo**
Really?
**[03:10] Yoko**
You should probably take note.
**[03:13] Yoko**
A guy's lie won't work on girls at all.
**[03:21] Catherine**
Okay, kids!
**[03:23] Catherine**
Make sure you don't wander too far out!
**[03:26] Ririka**
Ms. Hana-chan! Atri dove down
and hasn't come back up yet!
**[03:30] Catherine**
What?!
**[03:35] Atri**
I've found a crab!
**[03:37] Miyo**
Well, a hermit crab...
**[03:44] Ryuji**
Yeah, he's got it bad...
**[03:47] Ryuji**
Hey! Don't, don't, don't!
**[03:50] Yoko**
Hey, did something happen... with Atri?
**[03:53] Natsuki**
No...
**[03:55] Yoko**
Aw, your ears are all red! How adorable!
**[04:00] Ryuji**
Wait, seriously?
**[04:02] Ryuji**
Does that mean you've acknowledged
that Atri was your first crush?
**[04:05] Natsuki**
Well...
**[04:06] Yoko**
And?
**[04:07] Natsuki**
What do you mean, "And"?
**[04:09] Yoko**
So has anything changed
with your relationship?
**[04:16] Ryuji**
Wait a sec, Natsu.
**[04:19] Natsuki**
This doesn't concern you guys.
**[04:22] Ryuji**
But it does, right?
**[04:23] Minamo**
Huh?
**[04:23] Yoko**
Yeah... You should probably
clear the air here.
**[04:29] Natsuki**
Again, nothing happened.
**[04:32] Natsuki**
Stop trying to make this bigger
for your own amusement.
**[04:34] Yoko**
But--
**[04:35] Minamo**
Come on, let's stop this.
**[04:37] Minamo**
Natsu-kun said nothing happened.
**[04:41] Minamo**
Sorry about this. Why don't
we all go for a little swim?
**[04:46] Natsuki**
Something did happen.
**[04:47] Minamo**
Huh?
**[04:49] Natsuki**
And I've been trying hard to forget.
**[04:52] Natsuki**
Let me just say this first.
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[04:56] Yoko; Ryuji; Minamo**
You kissed?!
**[04:59] Natsuki**
Don't say it in harmony!
**[05:00] Yoko**
Er, but I mean...
**[05:02] Ryuji**
Way to go, Natsu! I knew you had it in you!
**[05:05] Natsuki**
Stop that.
**[05:07] Ryuji**
Don't be so embarrassed!
**[05:08] Ryuji**
Getting together with your first
crush is every dude's dream!
**[05:11] Natsuki**
I told you not to get the wrong idea!
**[05:14] Ryuji**
-What's wrong about it?
-Stare...
**[05:16] Ryuji**
Huh?
**[05:18] Yoko**
Yikes, you guys are creepy.
**[05:20] Ryuji**
Huh?
**[05:21] Yoko**
I mean, seriously! How old
do you think Natsuki is?
**[05:24] Yoko**
He's seventeen. Seventeen!
**[05:26] Yoko**
And if he's in love with Atri,
that means he's a total lolic--
**[05:30] Natsuki**
I keep telling you that
you have the wrong idea!
**[05:32] Ryuji**
But you kissed her, right?
**[05:34] Natsuki**
We did... but it was a coincidence...
**[05:37] Natsuki**
I just lost my mind for a moment...
**[05:39] Yoko**
And he's not taking
responsibility. What a loser.
**[05:42] Natsuki**
Well, what am I supposed to do?
**[05:43] Natsuki**
First off, you all need to
think about this rationally!
**[05:46] Natsuki**
Atri is a Humanoid.
She's not a human.
**[05:50] Minamo**
But you said that she might have a heart.
**[05:54] Minamo**
And if that's the case, we need to treat her
like she's human, or it'd be unfair to her.
**[05:59] Natsuki**
Well, yeah... I did.
**[06:01] Yoko**
More importantly, what you need to clear
up here is how you actually feel.
**[06:06] Yoko**
Do you actually have any
romantic feelings for her?
**[06:09] Yoko**
Since you're not answering,
I guess the answer is yes.
**[06:13] Natsuki**
To be completely honest... I'm not sure.
**[06:16] Yoko**
You're not sure?
**[06:20] Natsuki**
In my head, Atri is a Humanoid...
but also my first crush...
**[06:27] Natsuki**
My head's a mess and I don't
really know what to think.
**[06:30] Yoko**
Oh, right.
**[06:32] Ryuji**
When you think about it, I can't blame you.
**[06:35] Ryuji**
Until yesterday, she was just a Humanoid girl
who showed up out of nowhere,
**[06:40] Ryuji**
but then she transformed into
the girl you liked.
**[06:43] Atri**
There you are!
**[06:45] Atri**
Natsuki!
**[06:46] Natsuki**
What?
**[06:47] Atri**
Catherine told me it's a
bad thing to skip class!
**[06:52] Atri**
Everyone's supposed to
be swimming right now!
**[06:54] Natsuki**
And I've told you that I can't swim.
**[06:56] Atri**
But Catherine said even with prosthetics
you'd be able to swim with practice.
**[07:01] Atri**
Leave it to me, since I'm
so high-performance!
**[07:04] Natsuki**
If I left this up to a piece-of-scrap robot,
**[07:06] Natsuki**
I'd run out of lives even
if they were infinite.
**[07:08] Atri**
You said that awful phrase again!
**[07:11] Atri**
My whistle!
**[07:13] Natsuki**
See? You forgot it, as expected of
a piece of scrap!
**[07:15] Atri**
Darn it! You won't get away with this!
**[07:17] Atri**
Super Rotating Rocket Punch!
**[07:20] Natsuki**
Oh? Is that a new move? Just give it a try.
**[07:22] Atri**
Super Rotating Rocket...
**[07:26] Ririka; Toru; Miyo**
Bye-bye!
**[07:28] Atri**
See you tomorrow!
**[07:30] Natsuki**
What did you talk about today?
**[07:33] Atri**
Oh, I learned about the
theory of relativity today.
**[07:36] Natsuki**
From Ririka?
**[07:38] Minamo**
Ririka seems really serious about this.
**[07:41] Minamo**
She said she's going to go to the Academy
and return the world to normal.
**[07:44] Minamo**
She almost sounds like you, Natsu-kun.
**[07:50] Minamo**
Oh yeah, Atri.
**[07:52] Atri**
Yes?
**[07:53] Minamo**
If you're going to make dinner, you should
head back a little earlier to prepare,
**[07:56] Minamo**
or it'll get late.
**[07:57] Atri**
Huh? But...
**[08:00] Natsuki**
Do as Minamo says.
**[08:02] Atri**
All right.
**[08:03] Atri**
In that case, Natsuki,
tonight's dinner is mom.
**[08:10] Atri**
"Mom"...?
**[08:12] Minamo**
I've been teaching Atri how to cook
again so she's been getting better.
**[08:17] Natsuki**
Seems so.
**[08:19] Minamo**
Atri said she wanted to make you happy.
**[08:23] Minamo**
Because that would make her happy, too.
**[08:28] Minamo**
Just like you said, I also
believe Atri has a heart.
**[08:33] Minamo**
I don't think an AI could say something
so heartfelt so naturally.
**[08:39] Minamo**
So you should be honest with yourself...
**[08:45] Minamo**
And properly face Atri.
**[08:48] Minamo**
I know you can do it, Natsu-kun.
**[08:51] Natsuki**
Minamo...
**[08:54] Minamo**
I have your back, Natsu-kun.
**[08:57] Minamo**
See you later.
**[09:17] Ryuji**
Are you sure about this?
**[09:19] Minamo**
Huh?
**[09:19] Yoko**
Sorry, but we were eavesdropping.
**[09:22] Yoko**
At this rate, you're going to
push Natsuki right to her.
**[09:26] Minamo**
Yeah... you're right.
**[09:28] Ryuji**
What do you mean, "Yeah"?
**[09:32] Minamo**
You see, when Natsu-kun went to
the Academy... I didn't cry.
***SIGN*** A FEW YEARS AGO
**[09:41] Sign**
PORT
**[09:42] Minamo**
Do your best.
**[09:43] Natsuki**
I will.
**[09:45] Minamo**
I should've been sad since
I wouldn't be able to see him...
**[09:49] Minamo**
But even then, I was just so happy to see
Natsu-kun walking towards his dreams.
**[09:56] Minamo**
Looking at his back made me think...
**[09:59] Minamo**
...that I should also do the
best with what I can.
**[10:07] Minamo**
When Natsu-kun was little,
he lost his mom and his leg...
**[10:13] Minamo**
But even then, he studied
so hard on his own...
**[10:17] Minamo**
He said he was going to do his best
to make our stopped time move again.
**[10:23] Minamo**
It's not that I want to be with Natsu-kun...
**[10:28] Minamo**
I want to do my best together with him.
**[10:34] Ryuji**
But--
**[10:35] Yoko**
Shut your mouth!
**[10:40] Minamo**
Ever since Atri's been by his side,
**[10:43] Minamo**
it feels like Natsu-kun's gone
back to being the old Natsu-kun.
**[10:50] Yoko**
Wanna go eat together?
**[10:53] Minamo**
Huh?
**[10:55] Yoko**
Ms. Catherine said she was going to eat
dinner with Ririka, so let's join them.
**[11:01] Minamo**
Okay. Thanks.
**[11:04] Ryuji**
Oh, maybe I'll go, too.
**[11:06] Yoko**
Nope. No boys allowed today.
**[11:08] Yoko**
Right?
**[11:12] Minamo**
Yeah!
**[11:15] Atri**
Here's mom!
**[11:16] Natsuki**
This is meat and potatoes.
**[11:18] Atri**
Minamo said this was "mom's cooking."
**[11:24] Natsuki**
It's good!
**[11:25] Atri**
But of course! I am
high-performance, after all.
**[11:29] Atri**
I will execute household chores perfectly!
**[11:31] Natsuki**
Don't get too cocky.
**[11:34] Atri**
I'm not! I finally succeeded in making
Hamburg steak after 107 failures...
**[11:39] Atri**
But this time, I succeeded
after only 74 times!
**[11:43] Atri**
Do you see how truly
high-performance I am now?
**[11:46] Natsuki**
You failed that many times?
**[11:48] Atri**
Ah, have no fear!
**[11:50] Atri**
Every time I failed,
Minamo fixed them up
**[11:53] Atri**
and they were deliciously
consumed by everyone.
**[11:56] Natsuki**
You wanted to make this... that badly?
**[11:59] Atri**
Yes! Because it makes me happy
to see you enjoy the dishes.
**[12:03] Natsuki**
Why are you happy?
**[12:05] Atri**
Why? Hm...
**[12:08] Atri**
Because I'm being of use to you? I think?
**[12:13] Natsuki**
And why does being useful make you happy?
**[12:15] Atri**
Hm... Well, that's because...
**[12:18] Atri**
Um... Um...
**[12:22] Atri**
Oh, I know!
**[12:24] Atri**
You're asking if it's because I like you!
**[12:25] Natsuki**
Er, I...
**[12:27] Atri**
Very well. It's because I like you!
**[12:30] Atri**
And it's not just the regular like!
**[12:32] Atri**
It's the like that lovers experience!
**[12:36] Natsuki**
Now I just feel like I forced
you to say something.
**[12:40] Atri**
Is that bad?
**[12:41] Natsuki**
Well... no, if you actually meant it.
**[12:50] Atri**
I do mean it.
**[12:55] Atri**
I like you, Natsuki.
**[13:06] Natsuki**
I'm hungry. Let's eat.
**[13:10] Natsuki**
We can't let the meat and
potatoes get cold.
**[13:14] Atri**
Right!
**[13:24] Natsuki**
This is difficult.
**[13:26] Natsuki**
Do I actually have romantic
feelings for Atri?
**[13:31] Natsuki**
Atri is Atri though!
**[13:33] Natsuki**
Maybe I'm just forcing myself to think
she was the girl from back then...
**[13:37] Natsuki**
No, but that girl from back
then is actually Atri.
**[13:41] Natsuki**
But that means...
**[13:43] Atri**
What are you mumbling to yourself for?
**[13:48] Natsuki**
Wh-Why in the world...
are you dressed like that?
**[13:52] Atri**
You're the one who told me that the bath
would be ready soon so I should get in.
**[13:56] Natsuki**
O-Oh, right...
**[14:03] Atri**
What is it?
**[14:05] Natsuki**
Wait, hold on a sec.
**[14:09] Atri**
Peek.
**[14:12] Atri**
It's so much fun watching
you scream like that.
**[14:16] Natsuki**
S-Seriously! I'm telling you to stop that!
**[14:19] Atri**
Peek.
**[14:22] Atri**
This time, you turned red.
**[14:24] Atri**
You're so predictable, Natsuki.
**[14:27] Atri**
You're so adorable that
it's worth teasing you.
**[14:31] Natsuki**
Seriously, you...
**[14:41] Atri**
Robot harassment, I tell you!
**[14:43] Atri**
You hit me, knowing very
well I can't hit you back!
**[14:46] Natsuki**
Shut up! It was to stop your
sexual harassment, you piece of scrap!
**[14:50] Atri**
Well, violence is bad!
**[14:53] Natsuki**
Hmph! Well, it was an emergency.
**[14:55] Natsuki**
Hm?
**[14:57] Natsuki**
What... are these?
**[14:59] Atri**
Catherine gave them to me.
**[15:01] Atri**
She insisted that I put
the "yes" side on top.
**[15:04] Atri**
She said then you would be nice to me.
**[15:07] Natsuki**
Be nice to you...?
**[15:10] Atri**
Yes. Is that incorrect?
**[15:20] Atri**
Is this how this works?
**[15:24] Natsuki**
No idea.
**[15:25] Atri**
What? Wait!
**[15:28] Natsuki**
Whoa! H-Hey!
**[15:36] Atri**
Natsuki...
**[16:03] Natsuki**
I should be honest with myself.
**[16:06] Atri**
Huh?
**[16:08] Natsuki**
Could you sit up a sec? I've got an idea.
**[16:15] Natsuki**
There.
**[16:16] Natsuki**
That should do it.
**[16:19] Atri**
What's this?
**[16:20] Atri**
The bed is...
**[16:21] Natsuki**
Starting today, you sleep
on that side, Atri.
**[16:24] Atri**
Huh? But why?
**[16:25] Atri**
Then I'm going to be separated from you.
**[16:28] Natsuki**
And that's fine.
**[16:30] Natsuki**
That's normal, anyway.
**[16:31] Atri**
Do you not want me by your side, Natsuki?
**[16:35] Atri**
Do you dislike me now?
**[16:38] Natsuki**
No, I actually like you.
**[16:41] Natsuki**
Er, actually, it's probably more
correct to say you're precious to me.
**[16:49] Natsuki**
Starting today, I decided to look
at you as a Humanoid with a heart.
**[16:54] Natsuki**
Meaning, you're just like a normal human
and have a heart that can be hurt.
**[16:58] Atri**
And that's what caused this?
**[17:01] Natsuki**
Yeah.
**[17:03] Natsuki**
Hearts are complicated and sensitive.
**[17:06] Natsuki**
They're not something you
can understand so easily.
**[17:09] Natsuki**
It's even harder when it
comes to likes and dislikes.
**[17:11] Atri**
Huh...
**[17:12] Natsuki**
I'm pretty sure you don't
understand anything yet.
**[17:17] Natsuki**
That's why I want you to experience
happiness and sadness a little at a time
**[17:22] Natsuki**
and nurture your heart.
**[17:24] Atri**
Natsuki...
**[17:27] Natsuki**
And in the future, if you
can truly understand love
**[17:30] Natsuki**
and we're able to be
honest with each other...
**[17:33] Natsuki**
Then we can think about
what comes after that.
**[17:37] Atri**
Um... I don't really understand.
**[17:41] Atri**
What exactly am I supposed to do?
**[17:45] Natsuki**
Well, to put it simply...
**[17:48] Atri**
To put it simply...?
**[17:52] Natsuki**
It means that nothing's
really going to change.
**[18:03] Catherine**
What are you staring at me like that for?
**[18:06] Catherine**
I'm an adult, so it's
no big deal if I drink!
**[18:10] Yoko**
This is how Ms. Catherine
is when she drinks?
**[18:13] Minamo**
I forgot about that...
**[18:15] Yoko**
Or rather, I've been wondering for a while,
**[18:18] Yoko**
but what country are you
from, Ms. Catherine?
**[18:20] Minamo**
Oh, she's from Japan.
**[18:22] Minamo**
-The truth is Ms. Hana-chan--
-Stop calling me Hana-chan!
**[18:27] Minamo**
Don't work too hard, Ririka.
**[18:30] Ririka**
Huh? Work too hard?
**[18:32] Ririka**
I'm not though. I just solved
this because it was fun.
**[18:35] Minamo**
It's fun?
**[18:36] Ririka**
Yup. Everyone keeps complimenting
me for working hard,
**[18:40] Ririka**
but I'm just doing this because it's fun.
**[18:42] Yoko**
That's so interesting. I guess it just
depends on how you look at things.
**[18:47] Minamo**
Yeah.
**[18:48] Catherine**
That's why hearts are difficult.
**[18:51] Catherine**
I guess...
**[18:53] Catherine**
We're going to have to take this seriously.
**[18:58] Atri**
This feels strange.
**[19:01] Atri**
Is this really how everyone sleeps?
**[19:04] Natsuki**
Who knows?
**[19:05] Natsuki**
I'm sure some do, and some don't.
**[19:09] Natsuki**
Everyone's different.
**[19:10] Atri**
Everyone's different?
**[19:11] Natsuki**
Yeah. Everyone's hearts are different.
**[19:15] Natsuki**
It's not just good or bad,
or just right or wrong.
**[19:20] Natsuki**
People also make mistakes.
**[19:23] Atri**
Mistakes...
**[19:28] Atri**
Do you really think I have a heart?
**[19:33] Natsuki**
I believe that you do.
**[19:38] Natsuki**
Let's go to sleep.
**[19:41] Atri**
Thank you very much.
**[19:44] Atri**
For thinking that I'm precious.
**[19:46] Atri**
I'm... very happy.
**[19:49] Natsuki**
Well, thank you, too.
**[19:51] Natsuki**
Because of you, I didn't die.
**[19:57] Natsuki**
Back then, why were you able
to say such kind words to me?
**[20:03] Atri**
*There, there. It'll be okay.*
**[20:06] Atri**
Because... That's because...
**[20:12] Atri**
That's what I was taught...
**[20:21] Atri**
There, there. It'll be okay.
**[20:26] Natsuki**
*It hurts... It hurts...*
**[20:30] Atri**
*It's okay.*
**[20:32] Atri**
*It'll be okay.*
**[20:35] Atri**
*You're not alone anymore.*
**[20:43] Natsuki**
Ow...
**[20:49] Natsuki**
Atri?
***SIGN*** I KISSED NATSUKI.
BUT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND
THE MEANING OF THIS PROCESS.
**[20:59] Natsuki**
"Kiss..."?
**[21:00] Natsuki**
What?
**[21:03] Atri**
*I was not sure how to respond,*
**[21:05] Atri**
*but I got through by mimicking what
I saw in some reference materials.*
**[21:09] Atri**
*It appears as though Natsuki
did not find it unnatural.*
**[21:14] Atri**
*He said that he liked me,
so I said that I liked him back.*
**[21:17] Atri**
*But what Natsuki meant by like is not
the like that I had anticipated.*
**[21:22] Atri**
*I have now learned "like"
when it pertains to lovers.*
**[21:24] Atri**
*Researching relevant reference materials.*
**[21:26] Natsuki**
No.
**[21:27] Atri**
*I have now learned "kiss."*
**[21:29] Atri**
*I have now learned "sexual intercourse."*
**[21:31] Atri**
*I have also learned its process
and the steps that lead to it.*
**[21:35] Atri**
*Natsuki doesn't seem to doubt me.*
**[21:39] Atri**
*I told him that I had a heart.*
***SIGN*** I HYPOTHESIZED THAT WAS
THE ANSWER HE WANTED TO HEAR.
***SIGN*** HE THEN ASKED WHY.
I SAID IT WAS THE LOVERS FORM OF LIKE.
I TOLD HIM I LIKED HIM FROM THE BOTTOM
OF MY HEART.
NATSUKI DOESN'T SEEM TO DOUBT ME.
**[21:55] Atri**
Natsuki?
**[21:58] Natsuki**
Stay back.
**[21:59] Atri**
Huh?
**[22:02] Natsuki**
Stay away from me!
