**[01:30] J**
Come to think of it, I heard some
bad rumors about an employee there.
**[01:33] [Messenger] ---**
That guy hit on my friend, too
Oh, that hot guy! I liked him, too
He's awful
I hope that place goes under
**[01:35] Akira**
Is this true?
**[01:36] Haya**
No. I was just handing
out flyers for the café.
**[01:39] Ren**
I agree,
**[01:42] Ren**
but you can't judge people
by their appearances.
**[01:45] Haru**
*Could the one who spread the rumors be...*
**[01:48] Haru**
*Nah...*
***SIGN*** Episode 3
Misunderstandings
**[01:57] J**
You can probably guess why
I gathered you all here.
**[02:01] J**
It's about the Koyomi Town
revival event that's coming up soon.
**[02:05] Haru**
Right, it's your first time, isn't it, J?
**[02:09] Haru**
It's a huge event that's put on every year
**[02:11] Haru**
by the student council, with help
from the neighborhood association.
**[02:16] Ren**
Its success depends greatly on the
direction of that year's student council.
**[02:21] Ren**
Basically, our abilities will be tested.
**[02:24] J**
I see...
**[02:26] J**
Then we need to carefully consider
how we're going to direct this.
**[02:30] J**
Let's go ahead and split up
our duties for the event.
**[02:34] J**
Haruto, I'd like you to take care of
the stalls that'll be at the event.
**[02:38] Haru**
Got it.
**[02:39] J**
Ren, you take care of judging and managing
**[02:41] J**
the clubs that'll be participating.
**[02:43] Ren**
Understood.
**[02:45] J**
As for Hotaru, I'm going to have him manage
all of the expenses for the event, but...
**[02:51] J**
Where is he?
**[02:58] Ren**
Don't worry. I'll relay the message to him.
**[03:03] Hotaru**
Hey, hey! Want some candy, Satsuki-chan?
**[03:09] Satsu**
We're not allowed to have sweets at school.
**[03:12] Hotaru**
Aw, it's fine. Right?
**[03:16] Hotaru**
Right, Satsuki-chan?
**[03:17] Satsu**
That's enough, Aoba-kun.
Also, it's "Mikami-sensei."
**[03:22] Hotaru**
Aw, but Satsuki-chan sounds cuter.
**[03:26] Hotaru**
And you can call me "Hotaru," too.
**[03:29] Satsu**
I can't do that.
**[03:32] Hotaru**
Aw, don't be shy.
**[03:34] Hotaru**
I'm gonna pokity-poke your cheek.
**[03:36] Satsu**
Come on, stop that!
**[03:40] Ren**
Hotaru...
**[03:42] Ren**
What are you doing, skipping
a student council meeting?
**[03:48] Holmes**
Oho? I think I smell a case.
**[03:54] Holmes**
It would seem Aoba Hotaru has
feelings for that music teacher.
**[03:59] Wats**
Talk about a scoop!
**[04:00] Ren**
Holmes! Watson!
**[04:03] Holmes**
Hey.
**[04:04] Wats**
Wh-What a coincidence.
**[04:06] Holmes**
What are you—
**[04:12] Ren**
Are you planning to write
about this in the paper?
**[04:16] Holmes**
But of course!
**[04:17] Holmes**
A forbidden love affair
between teacher and student.
**[04:20] Holmes**
It's a big case waiting to happen.
**[04:22] Watson**
It's just what we need to excite
all the readers who are tired
**[04:25] Watson**
of the same old gossip.
**[04:28] Ren**
I will not allow you to hurt Hotaru.
**[04:33] Holmes**
You're playing it cool, but you were
looking in on them yourself.
**[04:38] Holmes**
You're acting as if you don't care,
but you want to know the truth, don't you?
**[04:43] Ren**
What?
**[04:45] Watson**
We'll investigate for you.
**[04:48] Holmes**
All right, Watson-kun,
let us start our investigation.
**[04:51] Watson**
You got it, Holmes.
**[04:54] Ren**
Wait! Don't meddle—
**[04:57] Guy**
Hey, Shiratori-senpai.
**[05:02] Guy**
Please judge us for the event!
**[05:04] Guys**
Please!
**[05:06] Ren**
P-Please wait!
**[05:09] Guy**
Take Shiratori-senpai.
**[05:11] Guys**
Yeah!
**[05:13] Ren**
I-I don't like sweat!
**[05:15] Ren**
P-P-Please don't!
**[05:20] Guy**
Why are you running away?
**[05:21] Guy**
Wait up!
**[05:24] Ren**
Stay away!
**[05:27] J**
That's the outline of the event.
**[05:29] J**
I'd like you all to help out with it.
**[05:33] J**
I need all of your strength
to make this event a success.
**[05:37] All**
Right! We'll do our best!
**[05:54] Girl 1**
J-sama is so wonderful.
**[05:57] Girl 2**
He's so charismatic!
**[06:00] Shino**
Let's do our best for J-sama!
**[06:02] Three**
Yeah!
**[06:06] Haru**
You're amazing, J.
**[06:10] Drac**
Amazing, my ass!
**[06:12] Drac**
How dare he attract
more attention than me?!
**[06:15] Har**
Dracula...
**[06:18] Har**
Just woke up, and already jealous?
Why don't you stop complaining and help out?
**[06:22] Drac**
Shut up! Don't order me around!
**[06:26] Drac**
And you're the last one I want to hear
anything from, Hizakura Haruto!
**[06:29] Drac**
Hear me! One day, our company
will surpass your father's company
**[06:34] Drac**
and become number one in the industry!
**[06:37] Drac**
Then you will bow down before me!
**[06:46] Har**
Jeez... And he's not going
to help out, after all?
**[06:53] Girl 1**
Hey, where's J-sama?
**[06:54] Shino**
J-sama?
**[06:56] Girl**
J-sama!
**[07:07] J**
Here's the report for the event.
**[07:10] Miku**
I've heard all about it. Seems you're
quite popular with the students.
**[07:15] J**
No, not at all...
**[07:16] Miku**
I'm sure the event will be
a success in your hands.
**[07:25] Miku**
Have you made progress
looking into things?
**[07:28] Miku**
Like why you showed up here
from a hundred years ago,
**[07:31] Miku**
and who your relatives really are?
**[07:37] J**
Not yet...
**[07:39] Miku**
It appears you're gradually
regaining your memories.
**[07:43] Miku**
In that case, you should remember
what actually happened.
**[07:47] Miku**
Is there any trace at all of the
very last memory in your past?
**[07:53] J**
Trace...
**[08:00] J**
There is something I'm looking for.
**[08:03] Miku**
Oh?
**[08:04] J**
I'm not sure what or where it is...
**[08:09] J**
But I feel like I need it.
**[08:14] Miku**
I see. So the reason you came to this world
**[08:18] Miku**
might have been to find whatever that is.
**[08:22] J**
It seems likely.
**[08:23] Miku**
All right. Continue with your investigation.
**[08:27] Miku**
I'll do whatever I can to help.
**[08:29] J**
Thank you very much.
**[08:39] Guy**
Shiratori-senpai!
**[08:41] Guy**
Where did you go?
**[08:43] Guy**
We must tell you more
about our burning passion!
**[08:51] Ren**
Scents that my nose and lungs
have never smelled before...
**[08:55] Ren**
Unknown substances are invading...
**[09:00] Ren**
I need... I need to go someplace
where the air is pure...
**[09:23] Ren**
Fresh air is magnificent!
**[09:26] Ren**
Yes! Flow into me, oxygen!
**[09:29] Ren**
Flow into me, beautiful fragrances
that emanate from these flowers!
**[09:34] Ren**
More! More!
**[09:38] Holmes**
We apologize for interrupting
your merriment.
**[09:41] Watson**
We have a report on our investigation.
**[09:44] Ren**
I don't remember requesting
any information from you.
**[09:47] Holmes**
According to our information,
it appears that Aoba Hotaru is the one
**[09:50] Holmes**
who's head over heels for the
music teacher, Mikami Satsuki.
**[09:54] Holmes**
He has been spotted numerous
times following her home.
**[10:00] Ren**
Wha—
**[10:01] Watson**
He's basically what you'd call a stalker.
**[10:03] Holmes**
He's more sinister than he looks.
**[10:05] Ren**
No! Hotaru would never
do something like that!
**[10:09] Ren**
I refuse to believe it!
**[10:11] Holmes**
Then you'll just have to see
the truth for yourself.
**[10:14] Ren**
Huh?
**[10:18] Guy**
Hizakura-kun.
**[10:22] Haru**
What's up?
**[10:23] Guy**
We have a favor to ask you.
**[10:29] Haru**
Got it. I'll ask my dad for more
servers to manage the event.
**[10:37] Guy**
Thanks!
**[10:38] Guy 2**
We owe you one!
**[10:41] Guy**
Thank goodness!
**[10:42] Guy 2**
Prince Hizakura is so reliable
when we need help.
**[10:45] Guy 3**
Shh! He can hear you!
**[10:55] Haru**
Hello, Dad?
**[10:57] Haru**
I have another favor to ask.
**[10:59] Haru**
I'll email you a list,
so could you get those for me?
**[11:02] Haru**
Hmm?
**[11:05] Haru**
Yeah, I'm having fun.
**[11:08] Haru**
Friends?
**[11:10] Haru**
Well...
**[11:13] Haru**
I'm not sure if I can actually
call him a friend yet,
**[11:15] Haru**
but there is someone I might
be able to open up to.
**[11:19] Haru**
He's a really mysterious guy,
and I never know what he's thinking,
**[11:22] Haru**
but talking to him puts me at ease.
**[11:35] Haru**
J...
**[11:51] Holmes**
All right, Mikami Satsuki has appeared.
**[11:54] Watson**
I don't see Aoba Hotaru.
**[11:58] Holmes**
Here he comes.
**[12:05] Holmes**
There's no doubt about it.
**[12:07] Watson**
He's going in the opposite
direction of his house.
**[12:16] Akira**
Welcome.
**[12:19] J**
It's a pleasure to meet you.
**[12:20] J**
I'm Jinguji, and I'm with the Koyomi Academy
High School Division student council.
**[12:25] J**
I look forward to working with
you on the upcoming event.
**[12:27] Akira**
Oh, you're the student council
president I keep hearing about.
**[12:31] Akira**
How about a cup of delicious coffee?
**[12:33] J**
Thank you. I came here today
to speak with you, but...
**[12:38] J**
Is Hayakawa-san here?
**[12:40] Akira**
Hayakawa-kun is out delivering coffee.
**[12:45] Akira**
I'd be happy to sit down with you, though.
**[12:49] J**
It's all right. I'll come by another time.
**[12:57] J**
Just curious, but... where
did he go to deliver coffee?
**[13:00] Akira**
The community center by the station.
**[13:03] Akira**
The neighborhood
association is meeting there.
**[13:05] J**
The community center by the station...
**[13:09] Akira**
Hey, what about your coffee?
**[13:37] Holmes**
Mikami Satsuki has entered her residence.
**[13:40] Watson**
It looks as though he's checking
whether she's gotten to her apartment.
**[13:43] Holmes**
How sinister. This should definitely
get front page coverage.
**[13:48] Holmes**
Got it?
**[13:50] Holmes**
Shiratori? Where did you go?
**[13:53] Watson**
Holmes!
**[13:56] Hotaru**
Ren, what's up?
**[13:58] Ren**
Hotaru, you shouldn't.
**[14:00] Hotaru**
Huh?
**[14:01] Ren**
I had no idea you were
obsessing so much...
**[14:04] Ren**
I'm so disappointed in myself.
**[14:05] Ren**
How could I have not noticed?
**[14:08] Hotaru**
What are you talking about?
**[14:13] Holmes**
We've caught you at the scene of the crime!
**[14:15] Holmes**
"Scoop! What is this wicked love that
this student has for his music teacher?"
**[14:19] Watson**
Headline confirmed!
**[14:21] Holmes**
How do you feel right now?
**[14:22] Holmes**
When did you realize your feelings
of love toward Mikami Satsuki?
**[14:26] Hotaru**
Feelings of love?
**[14:34] Holmes**
What?!
**[14:35] Watson**
Mikami Satsuki is...
**[14:37] Ren**
...your older sister?
**[14:39] Hotaru**
Yep! She's my older sister,
and I love-love-love her!
**[15:03] Haruto**
Hello.
**[15:05] Akira**
Oh, hey, Haruto-kun. Welcome.
**[15:09] Akira**
What brings you here today?
The student council president was just here.
**[15:14] Haruto**
I knew it... So J came here?
**[15:18] Haruto**
Was he acting weird at all?
**[15:21] Akira**
I'm not sure.
**[15:23] Haruto**
Where did he go?
**[15:39] Haya**
Can I help you?
**[15:42] J**
To think you'd lure me
out to a deserted area.
**[15:46] J**
I need to talk to you.
**[15:48] Haya**
You always appear out of nowhere.
**[15:51] Haya**
And you're quite rude.
**[15:53] J**
Oh, please.
**[15:55] J**
I'll shut you up, right here, right now.
**[15:57] Haya**
What?
**[16:29] J**
Hand over the pendant.
**[16:34] Haya**
Pendant?
**[16:35] J**
That's right. Tenna's pendant.
**[16:40] Haya**
I have no idea what you're talking about.
**[16:42] J**
I see... Then I'll just
have to take it by force.
**[17:05] J**
Do you feel like answering me now?
**[17:09] J**
Or would you rather die?
**[17:14] J**
Then die!
**[17:17] J**
Wha—
**[17:31] J**
So you finally decided
to show your true powers.
**[17:34] J**
Now the real battle begins.
**[17:37] J**
What?!
**[17:43] J**
H-Hand over... Tenna's... pendant...
**[17:50] Haya**
You don't understand anything.
**[17:53] J**
What?
**[17:56] Haya**
Tenna...
**[17:58] J**
So you do—
**[18:01] Haruto**
J?
**[18:08] Haruto**
J!
**[18:09] Haruto**
J, what happened?
How did you get so hurt?
**[18:14] J**
Don't touch me.
**[18:16] Haruto**
Huh?
**[18:23] Haruto**
Where are you going?
We have to get you to a hospital—
**[18:26] J**
Shut up!
**[18:27] Haruto**
Huh?
**[18:28] J**
Stay away from me!
Don't ever get in my way again!
**[18:34] Haruto**
J...
**[18:36] J**
This doesn't concern you.
**[18:42] Haruto**
Yeah...
**[18:44] Haruto**
I guess it doesn't concern me.
**[19:01] J**
* So Hayakawa does know about Tenna.*
* He knows that she's special...*
**[19:09] J**
*But... What did he mean?*
**[19:13] (Flashback) Haya**
You don't understand anything.
**[19:18] J**
*Is there something that I don't know?*
**[19:35] Haruto**
I guess things never go the way you want.
**[19:38] Haruto**
People you don't care about come flocking by,
**[19:41] Haruto**
but the one you want to be the
closest to won't let you near...
**[19:47] Haru**
I have no idea what he's thinking...
**[19:54] Haya**
Guatemala blend.
**[19:57] Haya**
The sweet aroma will help calm you down.
**[20:06] Haru**
It might be a bit too bitter for me right now...
**[20:18] Haya**
You never know what others are really feeling.
**[20:21] Haya**
What you think is best for someone
might not actually be so.
**[20:28] Haya**
But... if you truly care about that person,
they'll understand someday.
**[20:45] Hotaru**
You startled me. You were standing
there with such a serious face.
**[20:50] Ren**
Well, I was really worried.
You have different last names.
**[20:54] Ren**
I never would've thought she was your sister.
**[20:56] Hotaru**
Sorry. Our parents divorced,
and we took different last names.
**[21:01] Hotaru**
And we hid the fact that
we're siblings at school.
**[21:05] Hotaru**
But I worry about Satsuki-chan,
so I watch over her like that sometimes.
**[21:09] Haru**
Wow, what a good little brother.
**[21:13] Hotaru**
I know, right? She's my precious older sister.
**[21:16] Ren**
Well, it's still misleading!
**[21:20] Ren**
Good morning.
**[21:21] Hotaru**
Morning!
**[21:23] J**
Good morning.
**[21:30] Haru**
Welp, time for class.
**[21:32] Hotaru**
Huh? You're going already?
**[21:40] Hotaru**
Wait! I'll go, too!
**[21:43] Ren**
Did something happen
between you and Haruto?
**[21:45] J**
No.
