[01:53] Mimimi
    O-Oh, wow...
[01:54] Aoi
    How awful.
[01:55] Hanabi
    Th-This was from you, Minmi.
[01:59] Hanabi
    I'm sorry.
[02:01] Mimimi
    Don't worry about it!
    I'll get you another one. Okay?
[02:05] Hanabi
    But...
[02:06] Mimimi
    It's fine! We'll be
    matching again in no time.
[02:09] Mimimi
    Right?
[02:10] Hanabi
    Yeah, but... still... I'm so sorry, Minmi.
[02:16] Hanabi
    Really, really sorry.
[02:19] Tomozaki
    Tama...
[02:25] Hanabi
    Tomozaki?
[02:27] Hanabi
    You know...
[02:30] Hanabi
    When I saw this, I was all ready to
    shout, to say, "Quit screwing around!"
[02:37] Hanabi
    But...
[02:39] Hanabi
    Everyone's been doing so
    much for me, you know?
[02:42] Hanabi
    Coming up with all these ideas...
[02:45] Hanabi
    I didn't want all that to be for nothing,
[02:47] Hanabi
    so I just sucked it up.
[02:50] Tomozaki
    Yeah?
[02:52] Tomozaki
    You did good.
[02:53] Hanabi
    It took everything I had.
[02:57] Hanabi
    Still...
[03:01] Hanabi
    I... I just want to run away.
[03:06] Mimimi
    Tama...
[03:13] Mizusawa
    Fumiya.
[03:16] Mizusawa
    You sure that's the best move?
[03:19] Tomozaki
    Mizusawa...
[03:27] Tomozaki
    Right. Thanks.
[03:29] Mizusawa
    We don't have any proof, after all,
[03:33] Mizusawa
    and the ringleader's not around.
[03:37] Tomozaki
    Yeah... right.
[03:41] Aoi
    This is unacceptable.
[03:45] Hanabi
    Aoi?
SIGN    Old AV Room
[03:58] Yuzu
    Erika's gone too far.
[04:02] Takei
    I'm so sorry I couldn't do anything, Tama.
[04:05] Hanabi
    Thanks, everyone.
[04:08] ---
    And I'm sorry.
[04:09] Mimimi
    You don't need to apologize for anything!
[04:15] Yuzu
    H-Hey, I know!
[04:17] Yuzu
    I've been knitting and sewing a lot lately—
[04:20] Yuzu
    I bet I can fix this right up!
[04:22] Hanabi
    Thanks. I'll take you up on that.
[04:26] Yuzu
    Okay! Leave it to me!
[04:28] Yuzu
    Let's see... take this here and...
[04:31] Mizusawa
    Whoa, are you sure?
[04:34] Yuzu
    O-Oh, definitely! I've already
    made tissue covers and stuff.
[04:38] Mizusawa
    Tissue covers? That sounds pretty... simple.
[04:42] Yuzu
    B-Busted...
[04:47] Aoi
    Let's stay with Hanabi as
    much as we can for now.
[04:53] Aoi
    We don't know what might happen.
[04:55] Mimimi
    You got it.
SIGN    Tomozaki
[05:04] Little Sis
    What the heck is this all about?
[05:08] Tomozaki
    Oh, y'know...
[05:47] Konno
    What the hell?
[05:48] Konno
    Who did this to my desk?
[05:54] Konno
    It had to be Hanabi.
[05:57] Aoi
    Hanabi's been with me all day.
[06:00] Konno
    Excuse me? What's it to you, Aoi?
[06:03] Aoi
    Because I can prove Hanabi didn't do it.
[06:06] Aoi
    Plenty of people would have
    seen her with me, too.
[06:11] Konno
    Well, then!
[06:12] Konno
    In that case...
[06:14] Konno
    it must have been you, Mao.
[06:17] Kamimae
    No! Why would it be me? I didn't do it.
[06:22] Konno
    Then who did?
[06:23] Konno
    You, that's who.
[06:26] Kamimae
    Where do you get off accusing
    me without any proof?
[06:31] Konno
    Huh?
[06:33] Kamimae
    Jeez, assume much? Who do you think you are?
[06:36] Akiyama
    M-Mao!
[06:39] Konno
    Why the sudden attitude?
[06:41] Konno
    You've been sketchy as hell lately.
[06:45] Kamimae
    Me, "sketchy"?
[06:46] Konno
    You're all distant. You're off
    having fun somewhere else!
[06:52] Kamimae
    What are you talking about?
[06:57] Kamimae
    Besides, I can do what I want, can't I?
[07:01] Konno
    Oh, so it's like that?
[07:04] Konno
    You're sick of us teasing you,
[07:06] Konno
    so you thought you'd jump
    ship to another group, huh?
[07:09] Konno
    How lame is that?
[07:11] Konno
    Watch yourself—your lameness
    is written all over your face.
[07:17] Kamimae
    Well, you're the one who looks
    like some stupid middle-schooler
[07:21] Kamimae
    with that dumb black off-the-shoulder
    thing you always wear.
[07:23] Kamimae
    Why don't you give it a rest?
[07:35] Konno
    What did you just say to me, Mao?
[07:40] Kamimae
    I said that off-the-shoulder thing
    you always wear is stupid and lame.
[07:48] Kamimae
    And you suck at putting on lashes.
[07:52] Kamimae
    They look all fake and crappy again today.
[07:54] Konno
    That's enough out of you!
[07:58] Kamimae
    Ow!
[08:04] Yuzu
    She's a real stickler about
    clothes and fashion—
[08:06] Yuzu
    she'd probably step it up if I promised
    her pricey cosmetics when we win.
[08:10] Fuka
    I think she really doesn't want people
    to look down on her. That motivates her.
[08:16] Tomozaki
    Such a pinpoint attack...
[08:29] Akiyama
    Mao... are you okay?
[08:32] Boy A
    What's wrong?
[08:33] Girl B
    Did something happen?
[08:34] Girl C
    What's with Mao?
[08:35] Girl D
    Erika's desk?
[08:37] Girl E
    Seriously?
[08:38] Girl F
    A fight?
[08:38] Tomozaki
    With this mood, she'll have
    to apologize—or else.
[08:45] Konno
    Um...
[08:46] Konno
    Mao? Uh...
[08:49] Tomozaki
    That's the class queen for you:
    ultra-sensitive to the mood.
[08:52] Aoi
    Apologize.
[08:57] Aoi
    Apologize, Erika.
[09:00] Konno
    What? To her?!
[09:02] Kamimae
    Jeez. You're unbelievable.
[09:05] Konno
    No—I was just—
[09:08] Aoi
    Erika... that was uncalled for.
[09:12] Aoi
    I know it was in the heat of the moment,
[09:15] Aoi
    but not apologizing just isn't right.
[09:18] Seno
    Yeah, that was uncalled for.
[09:20] Kashiwazaki
    Erika really is in the wrong here.
[09:24] Kazuya
    Kinda sours me on her.
[09:26] Akina
    How hard is it to say she's sorry?
[09:27] Hashiguchi
    I've never seen her apologize before, so...
[09:33] Tomozaki
    The mood—
[09:37] Tomozaki
    it's being manipulated.
[09:39] Tachibana
    I'm against violence!
[09:42] Konno
    Huh? That was an accident.
[09:45] Konno
    Don't you know what "violence" means?
[09:46] Konno
    Tell them, Mika.
[09:49] Akiyama
    B-Beats me...
[09:52] Kawaguchi
    Aren't you the one who doesn't
    know the meaning of the word?
[09:54] Matsumoto
    No kidding.
[09:55] Tachibana
    Then what Natsubayashi did
    wasn't violence, either.
[09:59] Tomozaki
    The class will automatically
    start judging Konno.
[10:04] Tomozaki
    As a shallow excuse for punishment...
[10:08] Tomozaki
    This will settle it.
[10:10] Aoi
    Still...
[10:13] Aoi
    Don't you think she has to apologize?
[10:16] Nakamura
    Totally.
[10:18] Nakamura
    C'mon, Erika. All of this
    has been your fault.
[10:23] Nakamura
    Just apologize already.
[10:27] Tomozaki
    That just now—
[10:29] Aoi
    Don't you think she has to apologize?
[10:31] Tomozaki
    Was she looking at Nakamura?
[10:35] Aoi
    Apologize now and Mao will forgive you, too.
[10:38] Aoi
    Right?
[10:40] Tomozaki
    This time it was Izumi.
[10:42] Yuzu
    That's right, Erika.
[10:45] Tomozaki
    I knew it.
[10:47] Yuzu
    She knows it was in the heat of the moment.
[10:50] Tomozaki
    No... their words contain...
[10:52] Yuzu
    Apologize to each other and you'll be square.
[10:55] Tomozaki
    ...a reversal spell...
[10:56] Nakamura
    Yeah, Erika.
[10:58] Tomozaki
    ...cast by the demon queen!
[11:02] Konno
    What gives? What is it with you two?
[11:06] Konno
    Don't get so cocky just
    because you're a thing now.
[11:09] Yuzu
    E-Erika?
[11:11] Tomozaki
    It's basically like this:
[11:13] Tomozaki
    Hinami called on Nakamura and Izumi in turn
[11:17] Tomozaki
    and they both agreed with her.
[11:21] Tomozaki
    That's all.
[11:23] Tomozaki
    But to Konno...
[11:25] Tomozaki
    It probably looked like the
    two were ganging up on her
[11:30] Tomozaki
    as a couple.
[11:32] Aoi
    See? They're both saying it, too.
[11:35] Konno
    Why don't you get a room already?
    It's disgusting.
[11:41] Hashiguchi
    Get a room?
[11:43] Matsumoto
    Where'd that come from?
[11:45] Kawaguchi
    Jealous much?
[11:47] Konno
    Look, you guys are totally beyond lame.
[11:51] Konno
    Just because you started dating doesn't mean
[11:53] Konno
    you get to hold hands and dogpile me.
[11:56] Konno
    It's just mean!
[11:59] Konno
    What the hell... Seriously...
[12:01] Konno
    Quit... Quit making fun of me already!
[12:06] Konno
    You can date whoever you want, okay?
[12:10] Konno
    But going on about how perfect you
    are for each other is just gross!
[12:16] Tomozaki
    The illusion that the demon queen had spun
[12:19] Tomozaki
    was visible only to Erika Konno.
[12:21] Tomozaki
    Which meant...
[12:23] Sho
    What?
[12:24] Seno
    Dunno.
[12:25] Hashiguchi
    Now that's a victim complex.
[12:26] Kawaguchi
    Right?
[12:29] Konno
    Are you two seriously, like, twelve?
[12:33] Yuzu
    Erika...
[12:34] Aoi
    I get how you feel, but these two
    don't mean to make fun of you.
[12:40] Aoi
    I think maybe you're losing
    perspective, Erika.
[12:44] Aoi
    You're getting carried away
    with this crush of yours.
[12:49] Aoi
    I get it. That kind of
    thing happens to me, too.
[12:52] Aoi
    But try to calm down for a sec. Okay?
[12:55] Tomozaki
    Why even go there?
[12:58] Konno
    But I... I don't...
[13:01] Tomozaki
    Hinami.
[13:10] Aoi
    Well! That's the end of that!
[13:14] Aoi
    Sorry for saying all that weird stuff.
[13:16] Aoi
    I don't think we can speak calmly right now,
[13:19] Aoi
    so let's talk later, when we're
    not raring for a fight.
[13:22] Aoi
    C'mon, wipe your tears.
[13:24] Aoi
    Tissues, tissues...
[13:28] Aoi
    Sorry, Shuji—can I have a tissue?
[13:30] Nakamura
    Yeah, sure.
[13:31] Nakamura
    No problem.
[13:33] Yuzu
    I've already made tissue covers and stuff.
[13:40] Nakamura
    Here you go, Erika.
[13:55] Girl A
    Whoa...
[13:56] Girl B
    Did she just...?
[13:57] Konno
    No—wait—
[13:59] Boy A
    Unbelievable.
[14:01] Tachibana
    You know, I've always
    thought she was selfish.
[14:04] Boy B
    Always going around acting
    like she's the queen.
[14:07] Konno
    No...
[14:08] Konno
    That was—
[14:09] Girl A
    She's been crying for a while now.
[14:11] Girl A
    Is she going for sympathy points?
[14:14] Boy C
    Seriously!
[14:15] Girl B
    Lashing out just because the
    guy you like is taken...
[14:19] Boy D
    That's so lame!
[14:23] Kamimae
    Serves you right.
[14:30] Kamimae
    Oops, sorry.
[14:32] Kamimae
    It was an accident.
[14:34] Tomozaki
    The mood... the norm for good or bad...
[14:38] Tomozaki
    had flipped.
[14:39] Boy A
    Whoops!
[14:40] Boy A
    An accident.
[14:41] Boy B
    Me, too—an accident.
[14:55] Tomozaki
    At this rate, there's no one who can—
[14:57] Hanabi
    Hey!
[14:59] Hanabi
    Just because Konno did it doesn't
    mean you can do it back.
[15:02] Hanabi
    It's just as wrong when you do it!
[15:07] Tomozaki
    This is too righteous.
[15:10] Tomozaki
    With the class mood as it stands now...
[15:12] Hanabi
    You can't just gang up and
    attack people like that!
[15:16] Hanabi
    Knock it off!
[15:18] Tomozaki
    ...it might not fly.
[15:20] Hanabi
    Let's end this on good terms
    and have a fresh start.
[15:25] Hanabi
    Tama-rrow is another day!
[15:31] Kashiwazaki
    You're amazing, Hanabi!
[15:35] Seno
    She really is! I didn't see that coming.
[15:37] Seno
    But y'know, she could be right.
[15:40] Tachibana
    I mean, if the main victim
    says we should stop...
[15:44] Matsumoto
    I guess we'd better stop.
[15:50] Yuzu
    Erika!
[15:54] Mimimi
    That was so cool, Tama!
[16:07] Kamimae
    I'm sorry, Natsubayashi.
[16:10] Akiyama
    For everything.
[16:13] Hanabi
    Eh. It's fine.
[16:15] Hanabi
    But I'm not the only one you need to talk to.
[16:20] Akiyama
    Um, Hirabayashi... I'm sorry.
[16:23] Kamimae
    Me, too.
[16:24] Hirabayashi
    Oh, uh...
[16:26] ---
    O-Okay.
[16:28] Hirabayashi
    That's all right.
[16:30] Aoi
    Thanks, Hanabi. I don't think I could
     have quelled that on my own.
[16:35] Hanabi
    Thank you, Aoi—for fighting for me.
[16:39] Aoi
    You fought plenty hard yourself.
[16:42] Hanabi
    Yeah...
[16:44] Hanabi
    But I kinda didn't want to
    see you doing that, Aoi.
[16:50] Aoi
    Hmm? Doing what?
[16:54] Hanabi
    I just...
[16:56] Hanabi
    I really didn't.
SIGN    Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki S2
[17:03] Hanabi
    I... I made Aoi do something terrible.
[17:08] Tomozaki
    You talking about what Hinami did?
[17:10] Hanabi
    Yeah...
[17:11] Hanabi
    She was really angry.
[17:16] Tomozaki
    It was shocking, yeah.
[17:19] Hanabi
    I'm pretty sure Aoi didn't
    want to do what she did.
[17:23] Hanabi
    But because of me...
[17:26] Tomozaki
    I thought
[17:27] Tomozaki
    Tama had picked up on Hinami's ulterior
    motives and was disappointed in her.
[17:33] Tomozaki
    But...
[17:35] Tomozaki
    You trust Hinami, don't you?
[17:40] Hanabi
    Thanks for everything—both of you.
[17:42] Hanabi
    I gotta get to my club meeting!
[17:45] Mizusawa
    Tama's half right.
[17:48] Mizusawa
    Is that about the shape of it?
[17:49] Tachibana
    Yeah... pretty much.
[17:52] Mizusawa
    The way I see it,
[17:54] Mizusawa
    I'm someone who can spot the parts
    of Aoi that she hides inside herself.
[18:00] Mizusawa
    You probably know about
    those better than I do.
[18:06] Tomozaki
    Well...
[18:09] Mizusawa
    Ah, never mind. Even if you did,
[18:12] Mizusawa
    it wouldn't be fair of me to ask.
[18:15] Mizusawa
    The team's taught me something lately, too.
[18:19] Mizusawa
    How to come right out and
    say what's on your mind.
[18:22] Mizusawa
    So I'm just gonna say what I'm thinking:
[18:33] Mizusawa
    I like Aoi.
[18:35] Mizusawa
    What do you think of her?
[18:44] Tomozaki
    It was several days later.
[18:46] Tomozaki
    The animosity toward Konno had gradually
    dissipated after Tama's scolding.
[18:53] Tomozaki
    She didn't take back her throne at
    the top of the class, of course,
[18:58] Tomozaki
    but Izumi's efforts and Konno's
    naturally strong communication skills
[19:04] Tomozaki
    restored her to a perfectly
    respectable standing.
[19:08] Tomozaki
    The rest is up to Konno's maneuvering.
[19:12] Tomozaki
    And how did Tama fare in all this?
[19:16] Tomozaki
    Simply put, she gained
    a bunch of new friends.
[19:20] Kashiwazaki
    Tama! We've gotta try karaoke sometime!
[19:22] Hanabi
    Mmm, I'm not big on karaoke.
[19:26] Kashiwazaki
    You're so honest!
[19:28] Tomozaki
    Whenever Tama came right out with an opinion,
[19:31] Tomozaki
    people got a kick out of it:
    "That's Tama for you!"
[19:35] Hanabi
    But I'll go if Minmi is coming.
[19:38] Mimimi
    What the—?!
[19:39] Mimimi
    I'm feeling the love!
SIGN    Hey, Minmi! Back off!
[19:43] Kashiwazaki
    You sure do love Mimimi, don't you, Tama?
[19:46] Hanabi
    N-No I don't! It just looks
    that way 'cause I'm so small!
[19:51] Kashiwazaki
    Huh? What's your size got to do with it?
[19:57] Hanabi
    I-I mean...
[19:58] Kashiwazaki
    Oh my gosh! Just look at you blush!
[20:02] Kashiwazaki
    A-dor-a-ble!
[20:05] Mimimi
    Hey! Hands off my Tama!
[20:07] Kashiwazaki
    Aw, c'mon...
[20:09] Hanabi
    I'm not yours either, though, Minmi.
[20:11] Mimimi
    What?!
[20:12] Tomozaki
    This is "the class being used
    to her character" in a nutshell.
[20:18] Tomozaki
    At any rate, her relationship
    with Nakamura improved, too.
[20:22] Nakamura
    Huh? What about you, Hanabi?
[20:25] Hanabi
    I'm firmly in the downtown camp.
[20:27] Hanabi
    Let the guys go to the
    soccer game without us!
[20:30] Nakamura
    Man, you really are stubborn, aren't you?
[20:33] Hanabi
    Oh, like you aren't?
[20:36] Tomozaki
    As Mizusawa suggested, it's not
    like Nakamura truly hated her.
[20:41] Tomozaki
    I think he just wanted
    a reason to forgive her.
[20:45] Tomozaki
    Difficult stuff. Human relationships
    are so complicated.
[20:51] Mimimi
    Okay, everyone, listen up!
[20:54] Mimimi
    Now, I've gathered you all here
    today for one big reason...
[20:59] Mizusawa
    Ooh, are they ready?
[21:01] Takei
    Finally!
[21:02] Mimimi
    Ta-dah! Reinforcements!
[21:06] Hanabi
    Reinforcements?
[21:12] Hanabi
    Are these...?
[21:17] Mimimi
    Check this out!
[21:26] Mimimi
    Now we're all set!
[21:31] Hanabi
    Tomozaki, I bet you're the
    one who came up with this.
[21:35] Tomozaki
    You got me. At least now we all match, right?
[21:39] Hanabi
    Oh, Tomozaki, you're such a dum-dum.
[21:41] Hanabi
    But... thanks!
[21:44] Tomozaki
    Yep.
[21:45] Yuzu
    I worked hard to sew those!
[21:47] Nakamura
    It's kinda coming apart here, though.
[21:49] Yuzu
    What?! No way!
[21:50] Nakamura
    Kidding.
[21:51] Yuzu
    L-Lying, you mean.
[21:53] Yuzu
    Cut it out!
[21:56] Aoi
    Okay, okay.
[21:57] Mizusawa
    That's enough flirting, you two.
[21:59] Nakamura
    We're not flirting!
[21:59] Yuzu
    But we're not flirting!
[22:05] Aoi
    They're kind of pretty all laid out like this.
[22:08] Tomozaki
    Yeah, they are.
[22:10] Mimimi
    Such a colorful circle—sorta like...
[22:13] Mimimi
    like fireworks!
[22:16] Hanabi
    "Hanabi"—get it?
[22:18] Mimimi
    Hey, don't steal my line!
[22:22] Hanabi
    Since we're all here, let's take a picture!
[22:25] Mizusawa
    Hey, yeah.
[22:26] Mimimi
    Yes! To show our friendship!
[22:28] Takei
    Let's do it! Let's do it!
[22:32] Hanabi
    Say "cheese"!
[22:34] Mimimi
    Tamaya!
[22:48] Tomozaki
    A thought occurred to me...
[22:51] Tomozaki
    about the cruel way Hinami
    brought Konno down a peg.
[22:54] Tomozaki
    Make no mistake:
[22:56] Tomozaki
    That wasn't some spur-of-the-moment thing.
[22:58] Tomozaki
    It was premeditated malice, a plan carefully
[23:01] Tomozaki
    constructed in advance to hurt
    Konno—deeply and completely.
[23:06] Tomozaki
    Maybe because I've been acting on my
    trust in her as her student so far,
[23:12] Tomozaki
    but part of me thought she
    couldn't really be like that...
[23:19] Mizusawa
    What do you think of her?
[23:23] Tomozaki
    My answer to Miyazawa's question?
[23:26] Tomozaki
    She's the teacher who brought
    color to this game of life.
[23:33] Tomozaki
    I'd like to know Aoi Hinami better.
[23:37] Tomozaki
    **That's what I thought of her.
