U-Uhm... This isn't a prank or anything!
**[00:22] ---**
*So... as I thought... Minami likes Akihisa...*
**[00:27] ---**
U-Uhm... This isn't a prank or anything!
I'm seriously gonna kill you!
**[00:32] ---**
*So... as I thought... Minami likes Akihisa...*
**[00:40] ---**

**[02:08] ---**
*A week after the training camp, the
Year 2 guys' suspension is over and...*
**[02:13] ---**
Yuuji...
**[02:14] ---**
Hm?
**[02:15] ---**
What is... Whoa!
**[02:18] ---**
You shouldn't dodge.
**[02:19] ---**
You were about to give me a
head-butt. Of course, I'd dodge.
**[02:22] ---**
It wasn't a head-butt. It was a kiss.
**[02:23] ---**
Okay, don't move.
**[02:26] ---**
Put your hands behind
your head and explain slowly.
**[02:29] ---**
Kissing... Joining our lips...
**[02:31] ---**
A natural action for you and I since
we made a promise to get married...
**[02:35] ---**
Wait. I know kissing.
What I wanna know is why...
**[02:39] ---**
When, where, and with whom did you kiss?
**[02:40] ---**
You got it wrong. I just know what it
means. It doesn't mean I experienced it.
**[02:45] ---**
Is that right? Good.
**[02:46] ---**
I thought I was going to die.
What's with this all of a sudden?
**[02:50] ---**
That... They were kissing a moment ago.
**[02:53] ---**
Seriously?!
**[02:55] ---**
Geez... Akihisa is as stupid as ever, huh?
**[02:58] ---**
He knew that that would
happen if he kissed a girl.
**[03:01] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[03:02] ---**
Huh?
**[03:03] ---**
To tell you the truth,
while you were asleep...
**[03:05] ---**
Here! I found another heretic!
**[03:08] ---**
Okay, take him.
**[03:09] ---**
Ah! Hey! Stop it! I didn't...
**[03:11] ---**
--Hey! Stop it! Ahhh!
**[03:12] ---**
--...although I could only
kiss him on the cheek.
**[03:16] ---**
Guys! Where are we?
**[03:19] ---**
A court for passing final judgment!
**[03:22] ---**
And for the heretics...?
**[03:23] ---**
A punishment of death awaits!
**[03:25] ---**
Good. We will now start the inquisition.
**[03:28] ---**
Huh? What're you doing here, Yuuji?
**[03:30] ---**
You got me dragged into this!
**[03:32] ---**
Read out the charge.
**[03:34] ---**
We will call the defendant,
Akihisa Yoshii, "A,"
**[03:38] ---**
and Minami Shimada "Flat Chest."
**[03:41] ---**
A is charged with an act
of disloyalty to our doctrine.
**[03:45] ---**
When A was sexually assaulting
Flat Chest early this morning,
**[03:50] ---**
our fellow members captured him.
**[03:52] ---**
We will thoroughly investigate on the
relationship between A and Flat Chest
**[03:57] ---**
and take proper action on A as
well as watch Flat Chest in the futu--
**[04:01] ---**
Just state the conclusion.
**[04:03] ---**
We're jealous that he was kissing a girl!
**[04:07] ---**
The ruling is, death penalty.
**[04:08] ---**
Hey, Akihisa, what's going on?
**[04:10] ---**
Beats me.
**[04:12] ---**
Doesn't something ring a bell?
**[04:16] ---**
When'd you see Shimada
last before this morning?
**[04:17] ---**
I think it might've been the
last night of the training camp.
**[04:20] ---**
Oh, that time...
**[04:21] ---**
After everyone fell asleep,
she quietly came to me.
**[04:25] ---**
Why didn't you think it was strange?!
**[04:27] ---**
I just assumed that she came to kill me.
**[04:30] ---**
Then what'd you say to her before that?
**[04:32] ---**
Let's see...
**[04:33] ---**
"To: Minami Shimada" "There's something I wanna
talk to you about. Could you come to my room?"
**[04:35] ---**
"To: Akihisa Yoshii"
"Okay, but why at this late hour?"
**[04:36] ---**
"To: Minami Shimada"
"Isn't it obvious? I like what I like."
**[04:39] ---**
What's wrong, Akihisa?!
**[04:41] ---**
Well, nothing.
**[04:43] ---**
So, what'd you guys talk about?
**[04:44] ---**
A love confession kinda thing.
**[04:46] ---**
She confessed to you?
**[04:48] ---**
No, I confessed to her.
**[04:49] ---**
Ow!
**[04:50] ---**
It's ringing all sorts of bells!
**[04:53] ---**
Heretic Akihisa Yoshii...
**[04:54] ---**
Will you repent your sin
and accept the ruling?
**[04:58] ---**
What's the ruling?
**[05:00] ---**
I'm sentencing you to
a special bungee jumping.
**[05:02] ---**
Just so that I know, what will I be doing?
**[05:05] ---**
In order not to worry you
unnecessarily, I can only give you a hint,
**[05:10] ---**
but it's similar to
skydiving without a parachute.
**[05:13] ---**
You're telling me exactly
what it is! So no cord?!
**[05:15] ---**
You're gonna make me
bungee jump without a cord?!
**[05:19] ---**
Ah! That's Himeji!
**[05:21] ---**
--Help me, Himeji!
**[05:21] ---**
--So... as I thought... Minami
likes Akihisa... Minami likes...
**[05:26] ---**
What?! You're still like that?!
**[05:51] ---**
Yoshii and Shimada just exchanged
words through their eye contact!
**[05:53] ---**
And I thought I might
have a chance with Flat Chest!
**[05:56] ---**
If he's taken in not just Himeji
and Kinoshita but even Shimada,
**[05:59] ---**
Aki is the only one
we have a chance with!
**[06:02] ---**
G-Good morning, Aki.
**[06:04] ---**
Y-Yeah, good morning.
**[06:05] ---**
Say, is it okay if I sit at your table?
**[06:08] ---**
What?
**[06:09] ---**
Mine is broken, so...
**[06:11] ---**
Then I guess it can't be helped.
Sure, it's okay.
**[06:13] ---**
Thanks!
**[06:17] ---**
Why are you clamming up?
**[06:19] ---**
Well... aren't we sitting too close?
**[06:21] ---**
But the table is small, so...
**[06:23] ---**
I-I guess you're right.
**[06:25] ---**
Say, Aki... Uhm, if you like, that is...
**[06:29] ---**
...why don't we have lunch together today?
**[06:31] ---**
I made your lun--
**[06:32] ---**
What're you doing, Honey?!
**[06:34] ---**
Sh-Shimizu!
**[06:35] ---**
You can't allow this damn
pig to sit so close to you, Honey!
**[06:38] ---**
W-What can I do? My table is broken.
**[06:41] ---**
Even so, it doesn't have
to be a pig that you sit with!
**[06:44] ---**
So as I thought, Minami likes Akihisa...
**[06:47] ---**
But since Mizuki studies seriously,
I don't want to bother her.
**[06:51] ---**
In Aki's case, even if I bother him,
his grades are already bad, so...
**[06:54] ---**
I somehow get the impression
you're badmouthing me.
**[06:57] ---**
I can't allow it! To think that
you made lunch for this damn pig!
**[07:02] ---**
Fried chicken marinated
with homemade sauce,
**[07:03] ---**
which you prepared after
getting up at four in the morning!
**[07:05] ---**
The hamburgers that you made
with expensive ground beef!
**[07:07] ---**
The potato salad made
with organic vegetables!
**[07:10] ---**
How do you know so much?!
**[07:12] ---**
On top of that, the rice
has a heart mark on it!
**[07:15] ---**
Ah! Miharu!
**[07:19] ---**
Listen, Miharu. I've been
patient up until now,
**[07:22] ---**
but I want you to stop
doing stuff like this...
**[07:24] ---**
...because... I'm dating Aki.
**[07:29] ---**
*Tatami* mat flip!
**[07:33] ---**
Tsk.
**[07:34] ---**
So that's how it is,
Miharu. Please understand.
**[07:36] ---**
No! I'll marry you and
name our daughter Mirai,
**[07:39] ---**
using one character from your name!
**[07:42] ---**
Wait, Shimizu! What're you
gonna do if a boy is born?!
**[07:44] ---**
Namihei is good enough if it's a boy.
**[07:46] ---**
Before that, Miharu and I can't make a baby!
**[07:49] ---**
I'm starting the class now!
**[07:52] ---**
What're you doing, Shimizu?
Go back to your classroom.
**[07:55] ---**
I'm here to deal with an important
matter! Please overlook it this once!
**[07:59] ---**
An important matter?
**[08:00] ---**
Yes! It's very important that
I annihilate the pigs in this classroom!
**[08:04] ---**
I'm forbidding you to enter
this classroom from now on.
**[08:08] ---**
Damn pig!
**[08:10] ---**
You're always at the center of trouble.
**[08:12] ---**
You have lots of stories to talk about.
**[08:14] ---**
Stop it... It's not my fault.
**[08:17] ---**
You're wrong. It looks like we're gonna
have a big problem because of you.
**[08:20] ---**
Huh?
**[08:21] ---**
There's a movement within Class D
to try and start a Summoner Test War.
**[08:24] ---**
Whichever class Class D is trying
to fight is none of our concern, right?
**[08:30] ---**
Even if that's us, Class F?
**[08:32] ---**
What?
**[08:33] ---**
But our classroom
equipment is the worst ranked.
**[08:37] ---**
There's no benefit for them
to attack... Don't tell me...
**[08:39] ---**
That's right. Shimizu is
trying to take things out on us.
**[08:42] ---**
In order to separate you
and Shimada's seats,
**[08:44] ---**
she's trying to switch our
tables back to cardboard boxes.
**[08:47] ---**
But it's hard to think that everyone
in Class D would agree with Shimizu.
**[08:51] ---**
We're the ringleaders
of the peeking incident.
**[08:53] ---**
All the girls think that we're their enemy.
**[08:56] ---**
The Class D rep is Genji Hiraga,
but he probably can't restrain
**[08:58] ---**
Shimizu, who's burning with jealousy,
**[09:00] ---**
and the girls, who're burning
with anger towards the guys.
**[09:03] ---**
No way...
**[09:04] ---**
Because of the suspension, the guys
haven't been able to recover our scores.
**[09:08] ---**
Even though we have Himeji,
our forces aren't enough.
**[09:10] ---**
There's only one way left...
We have to avoid the war.
**[09:13] ---**
We can do that?
**[09:15] ---**
It's up to you and Shimada.
**[09:17] ---**
There's one thing I wanna check, though.
**[09:19] ---**
What is it?
**[09:20] ---**
Are you and Shimada really dating?
**[09:24] ---**
As far as I remember, I don't think we are.
**[09:27] ---**
This is happening probably
because of an email I sent by mistake.
**[09:30] ---**
You sent an email by mistake?
**[09:34] ---**
I see. What Akihisa did was bad enough,
**[09:37] ---**
but Yuuji also made a blunder
with incredibly bad timing.
**[09:40] ---**
So that's what was going
on... Sorry, Akihisa.
**[09:43] ---**
If that's the case, if we clear
Shimada's misunderstanding and you two
**[09:46] ---**
go back to a normal relationship,
Shimizu will probably cool off.
**[09:50] ---**
You mean...
**[09:58] ---**
Muttsulini, is there a wiretap
device Shimizu planted here?
**[10:02] ---**
There was, but I made it look
like it was broken and removed it.
**[10:04] ---**
What do you wanna talk about?
**[10:06] ---**
About the email I sent you
while we were at the training camp...
**[10:11] ---**
...to tell you the truth,
you got the wrong idea.
**[10:14] ---**
What?
**[10:15] ---**
Well, it's more like, I meant
to send it to someone else.
**[10:18] ---**
Who?
**[10:19] ---**
Sugawa, I think.
**[10:21] ---**
What?! You were going to
confess your love to Sugawa?!
**[10:24] ---**
Oh no...! You may not act like it,
**[10:27] ---**
but I thought you liked girls after all!
**[10:29] ---**
Well, it's not like that.
**[10:31] ---**
"To: Akihisa Yoshii"
"Yoshii, why are you trying so desperately to peek on girls?"
**[10:32] ---**
"To: Minami Shimada"
"Isn't it obvious? I like what I like."
**[10:35] ---**
That's terrible in many senses.
**[10:37] ---**
I'm sorry! Like I said,
it was sent by mistake.
**[10:40] ---**
I see, I see... I thought it
was a little, strange, too,
**[10:43] ---**
but I finally understand it now.
**[10:45] ---**
You're careless, too, so...
**[10:47] ---**
Hey, I don't wanna be told that by you
when you sent it to the wrong person.
**[10:53] ---**
What're you gonna
do about my first kiss?!
**[10:56] ---**
I'm sorry! I meant no harm!
**[10:58] ---**
Sorry doesn't cut it, does it?!
**[11:01] ---**
Th-Then...
**[11:02] ---**
What?
**[11:03] ---**
I-It was my first kiss, too,
so can it be considered even?
**[11:08] ---**
Of course it can't.
**[11:09] ---**
What? I-Is that right?
Well, uhm... then thanks for the kiss.
**[11:14] ---**
It can?!
**[11:15] ---**
Say, Minami, I want you to
answer me without getting upset.
**[11:19] ---**
What is it?
**[11:20] ---**
You told Shimizu that we're dating.
**[11:23] ---**
Does that mean that you...
**[11:25] ---**
Th-That's... You know,
since Miharu was persistent,
**[11:29] ---**
I thought she might
give up if I had a boyfriend.
**[11:31] ---**
And it was good timing, so...
**[11:33] ---**
What a lame excuse.
**[11:35] ---**
She's not being honest with herself.
**[11:36] ---**
Oh, you should've told me then.
I thought you might like me.
**[11:40] ---**
N-No way!
**[11:43] ---**
I thought it was strange, too.
**[11:44] ---**
To see you acting meekly like that.
**[11:46] ---**
Ahh! My arm is getting dislocated!
**[11:50] ---**
Now the confusion has been cleared.
**[11:52] ---**
Now, once we tell Shimizu about
this, everything will be settled.
**[11:56] ---**
*Thus, the war with Class D was avoided.*
**[12:01] ---**
*However...*
**[12:08] ---**
*Idiot Test.*
**[12:11] ---**
I want you to listen to this.
**[12:13] ---**
The situation is now even
worse than it was this morning.
**[12:16] ---**
U-Uhm, is it true that you have pictures
of Akihisa in a sailor school uniform?
**[12:20] ---**
100 yen per pic. Redistribution
is prohibited.
**[12:22] ---**
I'd like to have everything you have, plea--
**[12:24] ---**
Oops, that wasn't it.
**[12:25] ---**
What?! What was that?!
**[12:26] ---**
That conversation *does
*suggest a bad situation!
**[12:28] ---**
Shut up, Akihisa. Don't
make a fuss over trivial stuff.
**[12:31] ---**
It's not trivial!
**[12:32] ---**
Why are my pictures being sold behind
the scenes like Hideyoshi's?!
**[12:35] ---**
Wait, Akihisa! What you just
said is a bad situation for *me*!
**[12:40] ---**
This is the real one.
**[12:42] ---**
How are things in Class F?
**[12:44] ---**
They're not aware of us at all.
**[12:46] ---**
Good. We'll recover our scores while we can.
**[12:49] ---**
If they notice, we'll declare war right away.
**[12:52] ---**
This is... I thought Class D
wouldn't come to attack us anymore.
**[12:56] ---**
No. This isn't Class D.
**[12:59] ---**
This conversation took place in Class B.
**[13:01] ---**
Tsk! That damn Nemoto! He really plays dirty!
**[13:04] ---**
Why does Class B
want to declare war on us?
**[13:07] ---**
It seems that his position was harmed
after they lost the ST War against us.
**[13:10] ---**
On top of that, they participated
in the peeking operation and failed.
**[13:15] ---**
He's probably lost his
say in matters in the class.
**[13:19] ---**
As a quick measure to control
the complaints in Class B,
**[13:23] ---**
he must be planning to create a new enemy.
**[13:25] ---**
By directing their anger at us,
**[13:27] ---**
he'll get them to stop being angry at him.
**[13:29] ---**
He probably wants to regain his lost ground.
**[13:33] ---**
What?! We haven't recovered our scores yet.
**[13:35] ---**
If class B comes to attack us,
it's guaranteed we'll lose!
**[13:38] ---**
Now that it's come to
this, we have no choice,
**[13:40] ---**
but to create a situation where
Class B can't declare war on us.
**[13:43] ---**
Can we do that?!
**[13:44] ---**
Yeah. All we need is for another
class to declare war on us before them.
**[13:49] ---**
You mean...
**[13:50] ---**
Having Class D declare war on us.
**[13:53] ---**
What?! After we had just finally
cleared up Shimizu's misunderstanding
**[13:56] ---**
and avoided a war!
**[13:58] ---**
If we fight an ST War,
**[14:00] ---**
we're given time to recover
our scores in recovery tests.
**[14:03] ---**
If we fight Class D, we can
recover our scores without worries.
**[14:07] ---**
I see... If we take the test
and become fully prepared,
**[14:10] ---**
Class B wouldn't come
attack us so easily, huh?
**[14:13] ---**
But Yuuji, with our current scores,
we can't even defeat Class D.
**[14:16] ---**
For that, I've got a separate solution.
**[14:19] ---**
In any case, we'll provoke Class D
and have them declare war on us.
**[14:23] ---**
What do we do?
**[14:24] ---**
We'll use what happened this morning.
**[14:26] ---**
You and Shimada get cozy
and instigate Shimizu.
**[14:29] ---**
What?
**[14:30] ---**
Definitely no!
**[14:31] ---**
Can't you reconsider?
**[14:33] ---**
No matter what you say, I won't.
**[14:35] ---**
Even if it's an act, there's no way I'd
become the girlfriend of such an idiot!
**[14:39] ---**
Shimada, you're the only one who can do this!
**[14:42] ---**
If Class B attacks us now, we're
gonna go back to using cardboard boxes.
**[14:46] ---**
If that happens, Himeji's
parents will get worried again
**[14:50] ---**
and could try to have her
transferred to another school.
**[14:53] ---**
I want you to help us, too, Himeji.
**[14:55] ---**
Me, too?
**[14:56] ---**
Yeah, Shimada's acting by
itself would be unconvincing, so...
**[15:00] ---**
We want you to act
jealous of their relationship.
**[15:07] ---**
Could you somehow do it?
**[15:13] ---**
U-Uhm, Minami, Akihisa...
**[15:16] ---**
You may not want to do it, but please do it!
**[15:19] ---**
Mizuki...
**[15:20] ---**
I'm sorry that this is
my own personal reason,
**[15:23] ---**
but I really don't
wanna change schools, so...
**[15:29] ---**
O-Okay. I just have to pretend, right?
**[15:32] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[15:33] ---**
Now that that's been
decided, let's just get right on.
**[15:35] ---**
This is... a script? Let's see...
**[15:38] ---**
I'm sorry for asking you
to come see me like this, Aki.
**[15:40] ---**
Listen, I'm in love with you.
**[15:43] ---**
I've been feeling the
same all this time, Minami.
**[15:46] ---**
Hey, wh-what are these lines?!
**[15:47] ---**
There's no way I can say lines like that!
**[15:49] ---**
I know we're just acting,
but it's too embarrassing.
**[15:52] ---**
I guess it can't be helped.
I'll show you an example.
**[15:55] ---**
Huh?
**[15:56] ---**
Wow...
**[16:04] ---**
I'm sorry for asking you to
come see me like this, Aki.
**[16:08] ---**
Listen, I'm in love with you.
**[16:12] ---**
What?
**[16:13] ---**
Ever since I met you for the
first time, I've been in love with you!
**[16:16] ---**
It was really hard for me to
just be a friend all this time.
**[16:20] ---**
The truth is, I couldn't
bear staying just friends!
**[16:27] ---**
Aki, I know it's strange to
say this now after what I did,
**[16:32] ---**
I'd like to tell you again.
I'm in love with you.
**[16:36] ---**
Please go out with me.
**[16:43] ---**
So, something like that.
**[16:45] ---**
A-Amazing...
**[16:46] ---**
My heart went pitter-patter.
**[16:50] ---**
What's the matter, Akihisa?
**[16:51] ---**
Just for a bit... could you
leave me alone just for a bit?
**[16:55] ---**
Huh?
**[16:56] ---**
There are dreams that people
don't wanna wake up from.
**[16:59] ---**
Muttsulini, put the wiretap
device on the rooftop back in place.
**[17:03] ---**
Got it.
**[17:04] ---**
I want the three of you to go up
to the rooftop and put on a show
**[17:07] ---**
so that Shimizu will hear it through
the wiretap device and get the wrong idea.
**[17:10] ---**
The setup is that Akihisa and
Shimada are meeting secretly, okay?
**[17:13] ---**
Cross your arms.
**[17:15] ---**
Arms?!
**[17:16] ---**
But...
**[17:17] ---**
In order also to make up for
your earlier mistake, try your best.
**[17:21] ---**
Th-Then...
**[17:22] ---**
I'm gonna kill you if you
touch me in a weird place.
**[17:32] ---**
If you cross it so tightly,
it's hard to walk.
**[17:34] ---**
We're dating, so this is just normal.
**[17:37] ---**
But, Minami... they've been
hitting my elbow for a while now.
**[17:40] ---**
What? Y-You naughty jerk.
**[17:43] ---**
Your ribs are...
**[17:45] ---**
*Oh no! I have to keep acting.*
**[17:47] ---**
Say, Minami...
**[17:49] ---**
What is it, Aki?
**[17:50] ---**
What do you like about me?
**[17:52] ---**
That's obvious, right?
**[17:54] ---**
From head to...
**[17:56] ---**
From head to...?
**[17:57] ---**
...eyebrows.
**[17:59] ---**
Fore... head, huh?
**[18:06] ---**
What are you two doing?
**[18:08] ---**
Mizuki...
**[18:09] ---**
Being so close to each
other and even arm in arm...
**[18:12] ---**
It looks as if...
**[18:15] ---**
you two are dating!
**[18:17] ---**
*Hm? Was that line in the script?*
**[18:20] ---**
*Oh, I see! This is an adlib!*
**[18:22] ---**
That's right, Mizuki. Aki and I are dating.
**[18:26] ---**
What? Is that true?
**[18:29] ---**
Yeah. I'm sorry for not telling you, Mizuki.
**[18:32] ---**
So... as I thought, you like Akihisa?
**[18:37] ---**
I'm sorry for not telling you that,
either... when I knew how you felt.
**[18:42] ---**
I'm sorry. You can't forgive me, right?
**[18:46] ---**
Well, I kinda knew how you felt, too, so...
**[18:51] ---**
I even feel better now that you've
told me about it clearly like this.
**[18:56] ---**
Could it be that
you're going to forgive me?
**[18:59] ---**
It's not a matter of
whether I'll forgive you or not.
**[19:02] ---**
I think you're free to like anyone.
**[19:05] ---**
So I can't criticize you, Minami.
**[19:10] ---**
Mizuki... Thank you.
**[19:13] ---**
But I won't forgive you
for the kiss this morning!
**[19:16] ---**
That was against the rules! On top
of that, that was Akihisa's first kiss!
**[19:19] ---**
That was because of the
email and stuff, so... I just...
**[19:22] ---**
Don't "I just" me!
**[19:24] ---**
Even if God forgives you for
cheating like that, I won't!
**[19:29] ---**
*That's... a wiretap device?!*
**[19:31] ---**
You dummy, Minami!
**[19:34] ---**
*Oh no! If Himeji talks without noticing
it and Shimizu figures out it's an act...*
**[19:40] ---**
Himeji!
**[19:41] ---**
H-Hey, Aki!
**[19:43] ---**
What's going on? Don't tell
me you're choosing Mizuki!
**[19:47] ---**
Sorry, Minami! There's
something I have to do!
**[19:51] ---**
Aki! Stay here with me!
**[19:53] ---**
I...! I'm...
**[19:58] ---**
in love with you...
**[20:03] ---**
There, I said it...
**[20:09] ---**
Calm down, Shimada.
Don't adlib carelessly like that.
**[20:14] ---**
This is it.
**[20:15] ---**
I'm done acting.
**[20:17] ---**
Aki likes girly girls
like Mizuki anyway, right?
**[20:25] ---**
Himeji...
**[20:30] ---**
Akihisa...
**[20:42] ---**
Thank you. I didn't notice it.
**[20:46] ---**
What's wrong, Himeji? You seem down.
**[20:49] ---**
What? Do I look like that?
**[20:51] ---**
Yeah, you somehow looked lonely.
**[20:54] ---**
Looked lonely... huh?
**[20:56] ---**
If I do look like that,
it might be because
**[21:00] ---**
I felt sad that the person
I like was taken away...
**[21:05] ---**
...even if it was just an act...
**[21:08] ---**
Don't worry, Himeji.
That was just an act, so...
**[21:12] ---**
I guess you're right.
It was just an act, right?
**[21:16] ---**
I might be a little jealous, too.
**[21:17] ---**
What?
**[21:19] ---**
If there was a guy both you and
Minami fall in love with, even if it's an act...
**[21:25] ---**
If you really are in that kind
of situation, what will you do?
**[21:31] ---**
What? Hmm... let's see...
**[21:34] ---**
I guess I'll think really hard about it.
**[21:37] ---**
Think...?
**[21:40] ---**
Yeah, I'll think really
hard about it in my own way
**[21:43] ---**
and tell everything honestly.
**[21:45] ---**
I wanted to hear who you'd pick, though...
**[21:49] ---**
What?
**[21:50] ---**
No, nothing.
**[21:52] ---**
But I was surprised.
**[21:53] ---**
At what?
**[21:55] ---**
How you were earlier.
It didn't look like you were acting.
**[21:58] ---**
Could it be that you...
**[22:00] ---**
What...? What?!
**[22:03] ---**
...used to perform in plays or something?
**[22:06] ---**
What...?
**[22:08] ---**
Ah... Himeji?
**[22:12] ---**
You dummy...
**[22:16] ---**
You dummy...
**[22:24] ---**
