[00:08] Mimimi
    Tomozaki?
[00:13] Mimimi
    You wanted advice?
[00:16] Tomozaki
    You're always messing with Tama,
[00:19] Tomozaki
    so I figured you might be
    able to give me some tips.
[00:22] Mimimi
    Now hang on, Tomozaki!
    That's simply inexcusable!
[00:25] Mimimi
    I'm not messing with Tama—
[00:28] Mimimi
    I'm simply expressing my love!
[00:32] Tomozaki
    Uh, sure...
[00:34] Mimimi
    What a weak response!
[00:36] Mimimi
    C'mon, work with me here!
[00:38] Tomozaki
    Oh, um...
[00:40] Tomozaki
    Y-You sure have a funny way of
    expressing your love, Mimimi!
[00:45] Mimimi
    Pulling out Tama's signature move?
     Leave it to you, Brain!
[00:48] Tomozaki
    Y-Yeah?
[00:50] Mimimi
    Totally!
[00:51] Mimimi
    You're the only comedy partner for me, Brain!
[00:54] Tomozaki
    Now you're roping me into doing stand-up?
[00:59] Tomozaki
    Anyway, what is it about Tama that
    you target for your teasing—
[01:03] Tomozaki
    er, your expressions of love?
[01:08] Mimimi
    Hmm... Her cuteness and her tininess?
[01:12] Tomozaki
    I figured...
[01:15] Tomozaki
    Okay, have you seen any good
    comedy routines lately?
[01:19] Mimimi
    Huh? Where'd that come from?
[01:22] Tomozaki
    I was just thinking...
[01:23] Tomozaki
    if Tama had an obvious
    vulnerability like Takei,
[01:27] Tomozaki
    the class could get used to
    it as part of her character.
[01:31] Tomozaki
    It's for research.
[01:36] Mimimi
    Aha.
[01:38] Tomozaki
    I mean, I have a bunch of ideas, but...
[01:42] Mimimi
    Oh, Tomozaki.
[01:44] Mimimi
    You're a sneaky one.
[01:46] Mimimi
    So quick to get embarrassed, but when push
    comes to shove... boy, can you shove.
[01:52] Mimimi
    Hah!
[01:53] Tomozaki
    What the—
[01:54] Mimimi
    Your hero complex has earned
    you a piggy-nose punishment.
[01:57] Tomozaki
    I don't know what any of that means!
[02:00] Mimimi
    You don't have to!
[02:03] Mimimi
    Oh, man! You're so ugly!
[02:06] Tomozaki
    Y-You can be ugly on the outside
    with a beautiful heart... probably!
[02:11] Mimimi
    Yeah, I know.
[02:19] Mimimi
    Comedy routines, was it?
[02:21] Mimimi
    Let's see...
[02:24] Tomozaki
    Wait... what the hell was all that about?!
SIGN    2nd Stage: Lv. 4 Villagers have their own way of life
[04:02] Akiyama
    Oops. Sorry.
[04:04] Tomozaki
    The Konno girls' harassment
    of Tama continued.

[04:09] Tomozaki
    But Tama kept on putting up with it,
[04:11] Tomozaki
    which made the class seem to
    grow more and more sympathetic.

[04:18] Tomozaki
    Hinami, too, kept on creating a
    protective atmosphere for Tama.

[04:24] Tomozaki
    And what's more...
[04:25] Tomozaki
    Hinami did what?
[04:27] Yuzu
    She asked me not to hang
    out with Shuji for the time being.
[04:33] Yuzu
    Not even outside of school.
    Erika might see us, she said.
[04:36] Tomozaki
    I guess it would get pretty
    messy if Erika saw you.
[04:42] Yuzu
    Right? When I told Shuji, he got all huffy,
[04:45] Yuzu
    like, "Fine by me."
[04:49] Yuzu
    And that's why
[04:51] Yuzu
    I've been thinking I'd knit
    or sew him something
[04:56] Yuzu
    to get on his good side.
[04:59] Tomozaki
    Would that even work on Nakamura?
[05:03] Yuzu
    Maybe I'm just being selfish.
[05:05] Yuzu
    I always dreamed of giving a
    boyfriend hand-knitted presents,
[05:10] Yuzu
    but...
[05:11] Tomozaki
    Could you stop being all shy about it?
     You're the one who brought it up.
[05:19] Yuzu
    Oh, sh-shut up!
[05:22] Tomozaki
    Still, it doesn't strike me as very
    Hinami-like to make such a big ask of Izumi.

[05:29] Tomozaki
    She must be at her wits' end, too.
SIGN    Old AV Room
[05:36] Tomozaki
    Then came lunchtime.
[05:39] Mizusawa
    Hey! Sorry I'm late.
[05:42] Mizusawa
    Took me a while to blow off Shuji.
[05:45] Hanabi
    Sorry for all this.
[05:46] Mizusawa
    Don't sweat it. How's the practice going?
[05:49] Hanabi
    Well... how is it going, professor?
[05:53] Tomozaki
    "Professor"? You can't mean me?
[05:55] Hanabi
    That's right. You coach me at every break.
[06:00] Tomozaki
    I-I guess so.
[06:02] Tomozaki
    Um... I think practice
    is coming along nicely.
[06:07] Hanabi
    Really?!
[06:07] Mizusawa
    Good. Then let's see you in Takei Mode.
[06:11] Hanabi
    Got it.
[06:14] Hanabi
    Bring it on!
[06:16] Mizusawa
    Ooh, nice.
[06:18] Hanabi
    Right? I spent a lot of time practicing!
[06:20] Mizusawa
    Yeah? What did that involve?
[06:22] Hanabi
    I recorded myself talking, compared
    it to how Takei and Minmi talk,
[06:27] Hanabi
    and corrected my own speech!
[06:29] Mizusawa
    So you modeled after Takei
    and Mimimi? Good choice.
[06:33] Hanabi
    And Tomozaki didn't come up with that—I did!
[06:37] Hanabi
    Awesome, right?
[06:39] Mizusawa
    Totally awesome, yep.
[06:40] Hanabi
    Hey! Say it like you mean it!
[06:43] Mizusawa
    Oh, right. Sorry.
[06:45] Hanabi
    That too!
[06:50] Hanabi
    So what do you think?
[06:52] Hanabi
    I've been trying to speak
    more cheerfully than before.
[06:56] Mizusawa
    Oh, yeah—you're a lot easier to talk to now,
[06:58] Mizusawa
    and I think your charm is coming through.
[07:00] Hanabi
    Really?!
[07:01] Tomozaki
    Okay, Tama, try that other thing next.
[07:05] Mizusawa
    Oh, there's more?
[07:08] Hanabi
    I used these comedy routines
    Minmi told me about as reference.
[07:12] Hanabi
    If you would, Tomozaki?
[07:14] Tomozaki
    Here goes!
[07:16] Tomozaki
    Huh? Why are you so far away, Tama?
[07:20] Tomozaki
    I only look like I'm far away—
    I'm just short! It's called perspective!
[07:25] Tomozaki
    Oh, really?
[07:26] Hanabi
    Yes, really! It's an optical illusion!
[07:28] Tomozaki
    But listen, this room is
    bigger than I thought, too.
[07:31] Hanabi
    I told you, it's because I'm short!
[07:33] Hanabi
    It only looks bigger in comparison!
[07:42] Mizusawa
    What the heck?
[07:44] Tomozaki
    We thought this was an easy way
[07:45] Tomozaki
    to get the class used to Tama's
    specific vulnerability.
[07:50] Mizusawa
    Not bad at all. You had
    me wanting to join in.
[07:56] Mizusawa
    That's our Fumiya.
[07:57] Mizusawa
    The teacher and his brilliant student.
[08:01] Tomozaki
    Well, y-you know.
[08:02] Hanabi
    Ahem! "Brilliant" is right!
[08:05] Mizusawa
    Y'know what's sad, though...
[08:07] Mizusawa
    seeing the teacher left completely
    in the dust by his student.
[08:11] Tomozaki
    I g-guess...
[08:12] Hanabi
    Tomozaki?
[08:14] Hanabi
    Too bad for you!
[08:18] Mizusawa
    I'd say Tama can start mixing
    with the rest of the class now,
[08:21] Mizusawa
    but maybe be a little careful at first.
[08:24] Tomozaki
    Uh... so a little more practice in
    a setting where it's okay to fail.
[08:30] Mizusawa
    Bingo.
[08:31] Mizusawa
    I'd like to bring someone in
    for a dress rehearsal of sorts,
[08:35] Mizusawa
    but everyone's avoiding Tama right now.
[08:38] Hanabi
    Oh, right... This is gonna be tough.
[08:41] Mizusawa
    Aoi and Mimimi are on our side,
    but they're too friendly with Tama.
[08:44] Mizusawa
    It'd hardly be practice.
[08:46] Mizusawa
    So that leaves...
[08:47] Tomozaki
    Izumi?
[08:50] Mizusawa
    If Erika happened to find out,
    Yuzu's standing would suffer.
[08:53] Tomozaki
    Right...
[08:56] Tomozaki
    Oh!
[08:57] Mizusawa
    Did you think of somebody?
[08:59] Hanabi
    Ooh, ooh! Who is it?
[09:01] Tomozaki
    Let me check with them first.
SIGN    Library
[09:10] Fuka
    I'm nervous...
[09:12] Tomozaki
    I-I get that.
[09:14] Fuka
    I just talk to Hanabi normally, right?
[09:18] Tomozaki
    Right. You haven't spoken
    with her much, have you?
[09:22] Fuka
    No. I've thought of her
    as one very strong girl...
[09:27] Fuka
    But no, I've never actually talked to her.
[09:31] Tomozaki
    What do you think about Konno harassing
    Tama and everyone avoiding her?
[09:39] Fuka
    Well...
[09:40] Fuka
    I feel sorry for Hanabi. I think it's unfair.
[09:45] Fuka
    But I can't bring myself to blame
    Konno or the rest of the class.
[09:51] Tomozaki
    What do you mean?
[09:53] Fuka
    Um... well, I don't agree with harassment
[09:56] Fuka
    or with going along with the
    crowd to shun any one person.
[10:02] Fuka
    But I think Konno and the class must
    be doing all this because they're weak.
[10:09] Tomozaki
    Weak?
[10:12] Fuka
    There must be a kind of uneasiness inside
    them that they can't resolve on their own.
[10:18] Fuka
    If they don't vent it somehow,
    it gets to be too much to bear.
[10:21] Fuka
    And they worry about how they look
    to others, so they join the crowd.
[10:25] Fuka
    It might be something like that.
[10:28] Fuka
    I think Konno and the others
    are acting like this
[10:33] Fuka
    in order to run away from
    something they can't fix.
[10:35] Fuka
    Even though it's wrong.
[10:37] Tomozaki
    Running away, huh...
[10:40] Fuka
    Yes.
[10:42] Fuka
    Which is why I get the feeling, out of
     Konno and the class and Hanabi,
[10:46] Fuka
    that Hanabi must be the
    strongest of them all.
[10:50] Tomozaki
    You may be right.
[10:51] Fuka
    And I wonder if Konno and the others
    aren't relying on that strength.
[10:58] Fuka
    Because you can lean on it and lean
    on it—and Hanabi still won't fall.
[11:03] Fuka
    Still...
[11:04] Fuka
    his problem needs to be solved somehow.
[11:08] Fuka
    Which is why I'm glad I can be
    a part of it, thanks to you.
[11:14] Tomozaki
    Right. Let's solve this together.
[11:17] Fuka
    We'll do our very best.
[11:26] Tomozaki
    It's from Tama. Volleyball
    practice is over, she says.
SIGN    Old AV Room
[11:49] Mizusawa
    Nervous?
[11:51] Hanabi
    Uh-huh.
[11:52] Mizusawa
    What, don't you trust Fumiya?
[11:54] Hanabi
    Nuh-uh.
[11:56] Hanabi
    This is all me.
[12:07] Mizusawa
    Kikuchi?
SIGN    Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki S2
[12:15] Hanabi
    Hello, Fuka.
[12:17] Fuka
    Y-Yes, hello.
[12:19] Mizusawa
    Is Kikuchi who you had in mind?
[12:22] Tomozaki
    Yeah, that's right.
[12:25] Mizusawa
    Hmm...
[12:29] Mizusawa
    Well, she is a neutral party
    with no ties to Konno,
[12:32] Mizusawa
    and not especially friendly with Tama...
[12:35] Mizusawa
    I'd say she's ideal.
[12:36] Tomozaki
    R-Right?
[12:38] Mizusawa
    Did Fumiya talk to you, Kikuchi?
[12:40] Mizusawa
    About our strategy for helping Tama?
[12:43] Fuka
    Yes, he has told me about that.
[12:45] Mizusawa
    Okay. Er, why such formal speech?
[12:49] Fuka
    Um... we're not close yet.
[12:53] Mizusawa
    Well, whatever. Now, shall we?
[12:56] Fuka
    A-All right.
[13:03] Mizusawa
    There's more to you than
    meets the eye, Fumiya.
[13:06] Tomozaki
    What's that supposed to mean?
[13:08] Mizusawa
    Nah, it's just...
[13:10] Mizusawa
    She may not stand out much, but
    that Kikuchi is awful cute.

[13:15] Mizusawa
    What?
[13:16] Tomozaki
    Nothing.
[13:18] Mizusawa
    Hmm...
[13:20] Fuka
    Thank you in advance.
[13:21] Hanabi
    Same here.
[13:23] Mizusawa
    It's like some kind of competition.
[13:25] Tomozaki
    Yeah. I mean, it kind of
    is a real contest for Tama.
[13:30] Fuka
    Um... where should we begin?
[13:36] Hanabi
    I didn't know you were friends with Tomozaki.
[13:41] Fuka
    Yes, I've had the recent
    pleasure of his friendship.
[13:45] Hanabi
    Don't you think he's cheered up lately?
[13:48] Fuka
    I do. And I find it so wonderful when
    people work to change themselves
[13:52] Fuka
    to be who they want to be.
[13:54] Mizusawa
    Wonderful...
[13:56] Mizusawa
    You heard her.
[13:57] Tomozaki
    Y-Yeah...
[13:59] Hanabi
    It's wonderful to change yourself?
[14:01] Hanabi
    Do you really think so?
[14:03] Fuka
    Yes, and if that's what a person wants to do,
[14:06] Fuka
    I think that's just spectacular.
[14:10] Tomozaki
    I mean,
[14:11] Tomozaki
    this is for Mimimi, after all.
[14:14] Hanabi
    Uh-huh!
[14:17] Fuka
    It's been rough lately, huh, Hanabi?
[14:21] Hanabi
    Sometimes I'm like, "Ugh,"
    but I'm okay—honest.
[14:24] Hanabi
    I have Aoi and Minmi in my corner,
[14:27] Hanabi
    and Tomozaki and Mizusawa are helping out, too.
[14:31] Fuka
    Thank goodness.
[14:33] Hanabi
    I appreciate your concern, though!
[14:35] Fuka
    You have so many friends on
    whom you can rely. I'm jealous.
[14:40] Hanabi
    Yeah, everyone but Tomozaki is a real rock.
[14:44] Tomozaki
    Hey!
[14:46] Fuka
    If all these people will flock to you
    even in such a terrible situation,
[14:51] Fuka
    it must mean they really care about you.
[14:54] Hanabi
    N-Now you're just making me blush!
[14:57] Fuka
    You're a wonderful person,
    Hanabi. And cute, too.
[15:00] Hanabi
    No! I'm just short, that's all!
[15:03] Fuka
    Short?
[15:05] Hanabi
    No, wait! Forget I said anything!
[15:09] Mizusawa
    Good thing we did this dry run.
[15:11] Tomozaki
    Yeah.
[15:12] Mizusawa
    Hey, Tama!
[15:13] Mizusawa
    Don't go running so far away
    just because you're embarrassed.
[15:16] Hanabi
    I'm short, that's all! I only
     look like I'm far away!
[15:21] Mizusawa
    Oh, really?
[15:22] Hanabi
    Yes, really! It's an optical illusion!
[15:25] Fuka
    You're cute, all right.
[15:27] Hanabi
    Look, it's like I said...
SIGN    Old AV Room
[15:34] Mizusawa
    I think that's enough practice for today.
[15:37] Mizusawa
    How was it, Kikuchi?
[15:38] Fuka
    It was very easy to talk with Hanabi.
[15:41] Mizusawa
    I'd call that a success!
[15:43] Mizusawa
    Now we have to see if Tama can
    start to care about her classmates.
[15:49] Hanabi
    Right.
[15:54] Tomozaki
    If you're anything like first-semester me,
[15:57] Tomozaki
    I'm betting your thinking goes like this:
[16:00] Tomozaki
    Whatever happens in class, it's a
    world that has nothing to do with me.
[16:05] Tomozaki
    I can't be a part of any of that.
[16:08] Hanabi
    That's...
[16:11] Hanabi
    Yeah, maybe.
[16:12] Tomozaki
    Back when I felt that way,
[16:15] Tomozaki
    I could be surrounded by fun,
[16:17] Tomozaki
    yet that reality seemed less
    relevant to me than fiction.
[16:21] Tomozaki
    Everything was just... gray.
[16:24] Tomozaki
    But once I took that blind leap,
[16:28] Tomozaki
    color came into that gray
    world, slowly but surely.
[16:32] Tomozaki
    I began to be able to take more of
    an interest in the people around me.
[16:35] Tomozaki
    Tama, you probably think people
    don't like you very much.
[16:41] Tomozaki
    But truly bad people are rare.
[16:45] Fuka
    The way I see it, if I may...
[16:48] Fuka
    Konno, say, is a sore loser, and she
    hates when people look down on her.
[16:54] Fuka
    But to the people she decides are her
    friends, she can be compassionate as well.
[16:59] Fuka
    Kamimae and Akiyama must have
    very little confidence,
[17:04] Fuka
    and so they make confident friends
    to fill that void in themselves.
[17:09] Fuka
    Yet that's also a lovely
    way to take the initiative
[17:13] Fuka
    and change the situation around them.
[17:16] Fuka
    Izumi puts others before herself and tends
    to be on the losing side because of it.
[17:22] Fuka
    But that's kindness, too, that has her
    feeling others' pain as if it were her own.
[17:29] Fuka
    Each character in the story
    that is our classroom
[17:34] Fuka
    has their own worries,
    their own growth, their own faults.
[17:39] Fuka
    There's not a person alive who
    is truly thinking nothing at all.
[17:43] Fuka
    I wonder if that realization might
    spark your interest a little.
[17:50] Hanabi
    Uh-huh.
[17:52] Mizusawa
    I've been thinking.
[17:55] Mizusawa
    You—and Kikuchi, too, who knows—
[17:59] Mizusawa
    for as slow as your progress
    may be, it's careful as hell.
[18:04] Mizusawa
    The complete opposite of me.
[18:08] Mimimi
    Tama!
[18:09] Mimimi
    Here I am!
[18:11] Mimimi
    Wait...
[18:12] Mimimi
    Now you've got Kikuchi with you?
[18:15] Fuka
    H-Hello...
[18:18] Aoi
    What kind of match-up is this?
[18:20] Mizusawa
    Kikuchi's temporarily assisting
    Team Tomozaki today.
[18:25] Mizusawa
    She was pals with Fumiya and
    decided to lend us a hand.
[18:28] Mimimi
    Oh, okay.
[18:30] Aoi
    I didn't see that coming.
[18:39] Mimimi
    You're cute.
[18:42] Mimimi
    How could I have overlooked
    such an adorable girl?!
[18:46] Mimimi
    Welcome... to Nanami World!
[18:49] Fuka
    N-Nanami... World?
[18:52] Tomozaki
    C'mon, Mimimi, dial it
    down a notch, would you?
[18:55] Tomozaki
    She's not used to your
    brand of... enthusiasm.
[18:58] Mimimi
    You're the worst! How could you
    take Kikuchi's side and not mine?
[19:02] Tomozaki
    That's not the issue here!
[19:05] Aoi
    Yikes! I forgot to hand
    in my journal entries!
[19:10] Aoi
    Will you come with me, Mimimi?
[19:12] Mimimi
    Huh? Me?
[19:19] Mimimi
    Okay, I'll tag along!
[19:21] Mimimi
    You too, Tama!
[19:22] Hanabi
    Me too? Why?
[19:25] Mimimi
    Just... c'mon!
[19:27] Mizusawa
    I forgot something, too, back
    in the classroom. Be right back.
[19:32] Tomozaki
    Sure...
SIGN    Today Takahiro: We're heading home! Good luck! Read Hey!
[19:40] Tomozaki
    I've been hornswoggled.
[19:43] Fuka
    This is the first time
    we've gone home together.
[19:47] Tomozaki
    I-I guess so.
[19:49] Tomozaki
    Um... how did today go for you?
[19:53] Fuka
    Well...
[19:54] Fuka
    I was kind of nervous being around so
    many people I hadn't talked to that much before.
[19:59] Tomozaki
    But it was nice to see you chatting
    with everyone for a change.
[20:04] Fuka
    Was it?
[20:06] Fuka
    I thought it was nice having a front-row seat
[20:09] Fuka
    to see you enjoying yourself
    with everyone for a change.
[20:13] Fuka
    Nice... and a lot of fun.
[20:15] Tomozaki
    R-Really?
[20:17] Fuka
    You're always showing me things
    I've never seen before.
[20:29] Tomozaki
    Finally, the next day,
[20:31] Tomozaki
    Tama put her lessons to
    work in the classroom.

[20:35] Mimimi
    Don't stand so far away, Tama—c'mere!
[20:39] Hanabi
    I'm not far away! It just looks
    that way because I'm small!
[20:42] Hanabi
    It's called perspective!
[20:43] Aoi
    Hey, was this desk always so big?
[20:47] Hanabi
    It only looks big because I'm so small!
[20:49] Tomozaki
    Hinami helped out here, too.
[20:52] Kashiwazaki
    You're funny, Tama!
[20:52] Tomozaki
    She gathered the girls who were her
    and Mimimi's friends around Tama.

[20:58] Aoi
    Hey, this group should hang out sometime!
[21:00] Mimimi
    Sure—how about tama-rrow?
[21:03] Takei
    Yes!
[21:04] Hanabi
    Hey, don't shoehorn me into this!
[21:10] All
    Cheers!
[21:14] Hanabi
    Thanks, gang!
[21:16] Takei
    Great job, Tama!
[21:19] Mizusawa
    Keep it like this, and Konno
    should knock off the harassment, too.
[21:24] Hanabi
    You think so?
[21:25] Mizusawa
    Once the class is on your side, people will
     start getting irritated with Erika
[21:30] Mizusawa
    if the mood in the classroom goes sour.
[21:32] Mizusawa
    And she's super sensitive to that stuff,
[21:35] Mizusawa
    so she'll give it a rest.
[21:37] Hanabi
    Oh, okay.
[21:39] Mizusawa
    Mimimi said she'll join us
    once her club meeting's over.
[21:42] Mizusawa
    Aoi's still got student council work,
     so she's a no-show.
[21:46] Hanabi
    What about Fuka?
[21:48] Tomozaki
    Oh, uh, apparently she has work today.
[21:51] Takei
    Hmm? What's this about Kikuchi?
[21:54] Mizusawa
    Ask Fumiya. They're friends.
[21:57] Takei
    Oh? Is Army Boy finally growing up?
[22:00] Tomozaki
    It's not like that!
[22:02] Hanabi
    You're blushing, Tomozaki.
[22:07] Akiyama
    Hello, Erika?
