[00:06] Hitori     A melancholy Monday has arrived. [00:13] Futari     Feels good to be over your cold, huh? [00:15] Hitori     Y-Yeah... [00:16] Futari     Or are you happy your cold     let you miss school a few days? [00:21] Hitori     Not at all. [00:22] Futari     How come? [00:24] Futari     You always say you wanna stay home... [00:26] Hitori     I don't like going to school, [00:28] Hitori     but for someone like me,     even one day of failing to attend class [00:31] Hitori     puts me in risk of being     forgotten by my classmates. [00:35] Futari     Guess you're a real pain     in your own ass, Sis! [00:39] Futari     Oh, and Mom says it's time to eat! [00:42] Hitori     Yes, it's true. [00:44] Hitori     I could burst from the sheer volume     of nuisance I inflict upon myself. [00:50] Hitori     But wait a minute. [00:51] Hitori     I joined a band, and I'm     working part-time at a club! [00:57] Hitori     Perhaps I've graduated from my introversion! [01:01] Hitori     Yes! [01:02] Hitori     I'll take my guitar to school again. [01:04] Hitori     Someone's bound to talk to me this time! [01:10] Hitori     Yep. Putting the onus on     others fails once again.

[01:27] Classmate A     What's up, Gotoh-san? [01:29] Classmate B     You hardly ever talk to anyone! [01:32] Hitori     All my preparation assumed     others would approach me first, [01:34] Hitori     so I don't know how     to start a conversation... [01:38] Hitori     I forgot. [01:39] Classmates A & B     In that short a time?! [01:41] Guitar Man     It's lunchtime! [01:46] Hitori     This is for the best. [01:48] Hitori     If I'd managed to talk to them,     right about now... [01:52] Classmate A     Barging into our convo like that... [01:54] Classmate A     Was she listening in the     whole time or something?! [01:57] Classmate B     I didn't know she was such a creep! [02:00] Hitori     That's definitely how it'd be! [02:02] Hitori     I'll never rise above my station again. [02:04] Hitori     I'll live under the radar forever! [02:06] Hitori     Thank you for the meal. [02:10] Hitori     Still... A quiet place like this     is just perfect for lunch. [02:15] Hitori     I'm glad I found a nice spot. [02:17] Hitori     It's awkward eating all alone     in the classroom. [02:20] Hitori     And once I become a popular guitarist,     I'll go on Oto-Station and say... [02:26] Guitar Man     What were you like in high school? [02:29] Hitori     I didn't have any friends back then. [02:31] Hitori     I often ate lunch in a dark corner     filled with desks and janitorial supplies.

[07:39] Kita     The truth is, I can't     actually play guitar at all. [07:43] Kita     I was in another band not long ago. [07:45] Kita     I lied when I joined because     I wanted to get close to my senpai. [07:49] Kita     But the whole thing was just     beyond me, so I ran away. [07:53] Hitori     Beyond you? [07:54] Kita     Yeah. [07:57] Kita     There's more to playing than just     this strum-strum stuff, right? [08:00] Kita     I'd figured this wooden stick part     was just for decoration!

[18:43] Hitori     I can't exactly turn her down now! [18:52] Kita     Thank you. [18:54] Kita     I'll work really hard to     play guitar in Kessoku Band! [19:03] Kita     Oh, but you should probably give up     that party lifestyle of yours... [19:07] Kita     You're dancing like mad     every night, right? [19:09] Nijika     Where'd you hear that?! [19:11] Hitori     I'm glad it's all mended. [19:14] Hitori     It came out like a mess, but I'm glad     I stopped Kita-san from leaving. [19:19] Hitori     I worked really hard! [19:23] Hitori     Well, I gotta head out now... [19:25] Nijika     Bocchi-chan, don't go! [19:27] Nijika     You're today's MVP! [19:31] Ryo     You're the reason we're back together. [19:33] Kita     Thank you, Gotoh-san! SIGN    Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me [19:35] Hitori     Gosh, well, it was nothing,     really, honestly... [19:40] Nijika     It obviously wasn't nothing for you. [19:42] Kita     Gotoh-san wears her heart on her sleeve. [19:45] Kita     But I practiced for so long, and yet     I never really learned how to play guitar. [19:49] Kita     It just made this quiet 'bum-bum' sound. [19:51] Hitori     Y-You're sure it wasn't a bass? [19:54] Kita     Hey, I'm not that ignorant! [19:56] Kita     A bass has four strings, right? [20:00] Kita     See? It's got the full six strings! [20:03] Hitori     S-Some do have six strings... [20:06] Ryo     That's a six-string bass. [20:19] Hitori     K-Kita-san! [20:20] Kita     It cost me two years'     advance allowance from my dad, [20:22] Kita     not to mention my New Year's money... [20:24] Nijika     Kita-chan! [20:27] Hitori     And so, Kessoku Band officially     had all their members. [20:35] Kita     No more! [20:38] Kita     I hereby quit the guitar! [20:40] Hitori     What? Are we breaking up already? [20:43] Kita     Is this one defective too? [20:45] Kita     Did I get another bass? [20:46] Hitori     N-No, that's definitely a guitar... [20:49] Kita     I'm sorry I whine so much. [20:52] Kita     I know you're giving up your time after     class and during lunch to teach me... [20:56] Hitori     H-Hey, it's not... [20:57] Kita     With Ryo-senpai lending me this guitar,     and everyone helping... I have to do my best. [21:03] Hitori     B-But I really am glad... that Ryo-san     b-bought that bass off of you... [21:09] Kita     Yeah. [21:09] Kita     But when she gave me the money... [21:13] (Flashback) Ryo     This is the last of my money,     so I'll be eating weeds from now on. [21:18] Kita     That was a joke, right? [21:20] Hitori     She might have been serious! [21:22] Kita     Oh, come on... [21:24] Kita     This one's so hard to hold. [21:26] Kita     The F chord is too hard! [21:30] Hitori     That takes me back. [21:32] Hitori     I was this way at the start, too. [21:55] Kita     Ryo-senpai! Hello... [21:58] Ryo     You guys're here early. [21:59] Hitori     Sh-She really is eating weeds! [22:02] Kita     Senpai's so wild! SIGN    #4 Jumping Girl(s) [23:38] Kita     Watch it!
