**[00:03] Yu**
C-Come visit the Science Club...
**[00:06] Yu**
We're selling preserved flower accessories.
**[00:12] Yu**
*Back in the fall of eighth grade,*
**[00:14] Yu**
*I learned how bad I was at sales.*
**[00:19] Yu**
*All that work to sell five.*
**[00:22] Yu**
*Five out of 100 in one whole day.*
***SIGN*** Science Room
**[00:25] Yu**
* If I can sell the rest*
* tomorr—no way that's possible.*
**[00:29] Himari**
Finally! There you are!

**[00:45] Himari**
Where have you been?
**[00:48] Himari**
You're Yu Natsume
from the Science Club, right?
**[00:50] Yu**
Y-Yeah, why?
**[00:52] Himari**
You can't just leave the store like that!
**[00:54] Himari**
Some girls came by a bit ago.
**[00:58] Yu**
Wait, really?
**[01:00] Yu**
Never mind.
**[01:01] Himari**
What's up?
**[01:03] Yu**
Even if I were here, it's not
like anyone would buy them.
**[01:07] Himari**
Oh, but they did buy them.
**[01:10] Himari**
Here ya go! Fifteen customers.
**[01:12] Himari**
For a total of twenty-seven items sold!
**[01:15] Yu**
Twenty-seven? Th-That many?
**[01:18] Yu**
Thank yo—
**[01:20] Himari**
Hey, Natsume-kun.
**[01:21] Himari**
Why do you keep looking away?
**[01:24] Yu**
I-I'm not.
**[01:26] Yu**
*Pretty girls aren't my thing.*
**[01:27] Himari**
So tell me! Why do you need
to sell 100 of these?
**[01:33] Yu**
How do you even know that?
**[01:34] Himari**
Sato-sensei from the Science Club told me.
**[01:36] Yu**
Th-That's an invasion of priva—
**[01:38] Himari**
So why is it?
**[01:40] Yu**
*She's giving me that look.*
**[01:43] Yu**
* "A pretty girl like me is asking,*
* so you better fess up!"*
**[01:47] Yu**
*Something like that.*
**[01:48] Yu**
*She's definitely cute.*
**[01:49] Yu**
* But if I tell her, she'll*
* probably make fun of me.*
**[01:54] Yu**
It's my dream to open my
own store selling these one day.
**[01:58] Yu**
But my parents want me to have a steady job.
**[02:01] Yu**
We had a fight over it,
and they said I could do whatever
**[02:05] Yu**
I want if I sold 100 accessories
at the school bazaar. Huh?
**[02:09] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[02:15] Yu**
Ah! That's cold!
**[02:18] Himari**
Of course your parents would stop you
with a rash life plan like that!
**[02:23] Himari**
You dummy!
**[02:24] Yu**
Sh-Shut up!
**[02:25] Himari**
Well it's true. Dummy!
**[02:27] Yu**
Seriously? We just met.
I shouldn't have said anything.
**[02:32] Yu**
Who are you, anyway?
**[02:33] Himari**
So how many accessories do you have left?
**[02:36] Yu**
Umm... Sixty-eight?
**[02:40] Himari**
Hmm, I think I can work with that.
**[02:45] Himari**
Get ready to sell all of them!
**[02:48] Himari**
Leave tomorrow to me, Himari Inuzuka!
***SIGN*** Anemone Flaccida and Queen of the Night
**[02:56] Girl A**
Hey, Himari-san!
**[02:58] Girl A**
I love these earrings! Where can I get them?
**[03:02] Himari**
Oh, those? They're custom-made.
**[03:05] Himari**
Here.
**[03:07] Himari**
It's from this online store called You.
**[03:10] Girl A**
Cool, thanks!
**[03:12] Girl B**
So what should we do after this?
**[03:15] Yu**
*It's been two years since that bazaar.*
**[03:17] Yu**
* The next day, I was able to*
* sell the rest of my*
**[03:20] Yu**
*flower accessories thanks to Himari.*
**[03:25] Yu**
* These days, I promote*
* and sell them online through*
**[03:28] Yu**
*our family-owned convenience store.*
**[03:31] Yu**
* Minors can't run a business*
* for obvious reasons, so that's a big help.*
**[03:37] Yu**
*It's a hassle, but I can't complain.*
**[03:39] Yu**
* Especially since they cover*
* the cost of the flowers.*
**[03:46] Yu**
* This is like my own private world*
* away from everything else.*
**[03:51] Yu**
*Anyways, I like working alone like this.*
**[03:55] Yu**
* My family calls me gloomy,*
* but this is who I am.*
**[04:01] Yu**
*I'm a creator.*
**[04:03] Yu**
*I guess we just thrive in solitude.*
**[04:05] Yu**
Phew. There.
**[04:07] Himari**
Wow! Another great piece, I see!
**[04:11] Yu**
Himari! Not when I'm working!
**[04:14] Himari**
What do you expect?
**[04:15] Himari**
You've ignored me for an entire hour!
**[04:18] Himari**
Enough work for today!
**[04:20] Himari**
I got to see your sparkling eyes,
so time to close shop.
**[04:24] Yu**
I have to do the other side!
**[04:27] Himari**
Don't be so shy!
**[04:31] Yu**
* "You should be more grateful for getting*
* a cute girl like me all to yourself!"*
**[04:36] Yu**
*Is that it?*
**[04:37] Yu**
*She is cute, though.*
**[04:41] Yu**
I was just remembering
that bazaar from middle school.
**[04:43] Yu**
You had long hair back then.
**[04:45] Himari**
Well you were much shorter then!
**[04:49] Yu**
Anyways, can you get off now?
**[04:52] Himari**
I don't think so. This is my special seat.
**[04:56] Yu**
My neck! You're choking me!
**[04:58] Himari**
The boy with the most
huggable neck in Japan.
**[05:01] Himari**
And the girl with the most
desired pair of arms in Japan!
**[05:04] Yu**
You sure about that?
**[05:05] Yu**
I'd say you're a bit scrawny for tha—
**[05:09] Yu**
I give up!
**[05:10] Yu**
*Just another ordinary day for us.*
**[05:10] Himari**
Good! Time to go home!
**[05:12] Yu**
Okay, okay. Then let's go
over the closing checklist.
**[05:13] Yu**
* Our own playground,*
* built over the past two years.*
**[05:18] (Flashback) Yu**
Why did you save me back there?
**[05:20] (Flashback) Himari**
I wasn't saving anyone.
**[05:22] (Flashback) Himari**
I wanted to sell them,
so I helped. That's all.
**[05:26] (Flashback) Himari**
You should choose your words more carefully.
**[05:29] (Flashback) Yu**
I didn't mean—
**[05:31] (Flashback) Himari**
Let's do it!
**[05:33] (Flashback) Himari**
A flower accessory store!
**[05:35] (Flashback) Himari**
I'll support you!
**[05:36] (Flashback) Yu**
What do you mean?
**[05:38] (Flashback) Himari**
I'd actually been eyeing
this choker you gave me.
**[05:42] (Flashback) Himari**
I watched you working on it
in the science room.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Yu**
You were? From where?
**[05:48] (Flashback) Himari**
From the hallway window.
**[05:50] (Flashback) Himari**
I even tried talking to you,
but you ignored me.
**[05:54] (Flashback) Himari**
I know you take care of the flowers
in the back garden every day, too.
**[05:59] (Flashback) Himari**
You gave them all names and bawled
when you finally cut them.
**[06:04] (Flashback) Yu**
Y-You saw that?
**[06:05] (Flashback) Himari**
Yup. Anyways, I was thinking
of only buying this at first.
**[06:09] (Flashback) Himari**
But I saw how bad the store was doing.
**[06:11] (Flashback) Himari**
I couldn't help but beg my
brother for a huge favor.
**[06:16] (Flashback) Yu**
A huge favor?
**[06:18] (Flashback) Himari**
Yup, it cost me big time.
**[06:22] (Flashback) Himari**
So you owe me, Natsume-kun.
**[06:25] (Flashback) Yu**
Owe you?
**[06:27] (Flashback) Yu**
What exactly?
**[06:28] (Flashback) Himari**
Hmm...
**[06:31] (Flashback) Himari**
Can I have those eyes of yours?
**[06:33] (Flashback) Yu**
My eyes?
**[06:36] (Flashback) Himari**
Whoops.
**[06:38] (Flashback) Himari**
I don't mean that in a gory way.
**[06:40] (Flashback) Yu**
I get that much, but—
**[06:42] (Flashback) Himari**
I love how your eyes light up when you work.
**[06:45] (Flashback) Himari**
They're so focused and pretty.
**[06:48] (Flashback) Yu**
My eyes...
**[06:50] (Flashback) Himari**
Promise you'll only show
those passionate eyes to me.
**[06:53] (Flashback) Himari**
I want them for myself.
**[06:55] (Flashback) Himari**
I'll sell all of your accessories for that!
**[06:59] (Flashback) Himari**
Let's share the same
destiny as best friends!
**[07:03] (Flashback) Yu**
Best friends?
**[07:10] Yu**
*The* Anemone flaccida *represents
"friendship," "cooperation,"*
**[07:15] Yu**
*and "to never be separated."*
**[07:18] Yu**
Oh yeah, Himari.
**[07:20] Yu**
What happened with that
talent agency that reached out?
**[07:23] Himari**
I turned them down.
**[07:25] Himari**
Gotta focus on the promo
for your accessories.
**[07:28] Yu**
That's a waste.
**[07:30] Himari**
Well, we are best friends.
**[07:33] Himari**
If you can't open your own store
by the time you're thirty,
**[07:36] Himari**
I'd have to marry you.
**[07:38] Yu**
Cut that out. Ever since you
started joking about that,
**[07:41] Yu**
Hibari-san keeps calling me
his little brother. I feel bad.
**[07:45] Himari**
Onii-chan likes you too much.
**[07:48] Himari**
He won't stop unless you marry someone else.
**[07:51] Yu**
Marry? I'd have to date someone first.
**[07:55] Himari**
Are you still hung up on that crush
you met in elementary school?
**[08:00] Himari**
You met her on a trip, right?
**[08:02] Himari**
Sounds made up if you ask me. Creepy much?
**[08:05] Yu**
Sh-Shut up.
**[08:08] Himari**
It's nice that you're a dreamer
and all, but it's time to start
**[08:10] Himari**
paying attention to real girls
and get a girlfriend.
**[08:15] Yu**
Maybe I could if you weren't all over me
at school. You drive everyone away.
**[08:20] Himari**
But I've had boyfriends here
and there, though.
**[08:23] Himari**
Maybe you're just not attractive enough.
**[08:25] Yu**
Or maybe it's because the guys you dumped
are spreading rumors about me.
**[08:29] Himari**
Well you are all I talk
about in front of them.
**[08:34] Himari**
But I don't actually
like them. I'm just bored!
**[08:38] Yu**
You suck sometimes.
**[08:42] Himari**
I'm clueless when it comes
to romance, you know?
**[08:45] Yu**
Are you really not getting married
until I open a store?
**[08:49] Himari**
Yup.
**[08:50] Himari**
But who knows, maybe I'll end up
in an arranged marriage.
**[08:52] Himari**
Since you won't marry me.
**[08:54] Yu**
Don't make it my fault!
**[08:56] Himari**
It's gonna be with some old guy!
**[08:58] Himari**
My poor young body will be
tainted by old, greasy hands.
**[09:02] Yu**
You throw in sexual jokes
at the weirdest times.
**[09:07] Yu**
Do those arrangements
even happen these days?
**[09:09] Himari**
Sure they do.
**[09:10] Himari**
Even as soon as right after high school.
**[09:14] Himari**
Especially since I'm
from a long line of nobles.
**[09:18] Himari**
It could even be for politics.
**[09:20] Yu**
In that case, I'll cover
for you one way or another.
**[09:25] Yu**
As your best friend.
**[09:27] Himari**
Bwa-ha! Just kidding!
**[09:30] Himari**
No one gets set up like that these days!
**[09:32] Himari**
You're reading too much erotic fiction!
**[09:35] Yu**
You're the one who started
mentioning greasy hands!
**[09:40] Yu**
Daifuku, paws off the accessories, okay?
**[09:44] Yu**
The shipping address for this one is...
**[09:47] Himari**
*I wish all guys were like you, Yu.*
**[09:51] (Flashback) Himari**
Dating is a drag, you know?
**[09:54] (Flashback) Himari**
Besides, I don't get romance.
**[09:58] (Flashback) Himari**
What about you? Don't you have a girlfriend?
**[10:00] (Flashback) Yu**
With a hobby like this? No way.
**[10:02] (Flashback) Himari**
Oh, right. We're actually
really alike in a way.
**[10:06] (Flashback) Himari**
I bet neither of us can get married.
**[10:09] (Flashback) Himari**
Hey, I have an idea!
**[10:10] (Flashback) Himari**
If we're both single when we
turn thirty, let's live together!
**[10:15] (Flashback) Yu**
What?
**[10:16] (Flashback) Yu**
Setting aside that
ridiculous offer, why thirty?
**[10:20] (Flashback) Himari**
Just seemed like a good cut-off line.
**[10:23] (Flashback) Himari**
That way, we can pour everything
we have into opening your store!
**[10:28] (Flashback) Himari**
If you're still alone at thirty, pick me.
**[10:35] (Flashback) Yu**
Anyone but you, Himari.
**[10:37] (Flashback) Yu**
I prefer someone more modest.
**[10:40] (Flashback) Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[10:42] (Flashback) Himari**
Yu, you're the best!
**[10:43] (Flashback) Himari**
I've never been dumped before!
**[10:46] Yu**
Hey, get off me! Cut it out!
**[10:47] (Flashback) Himari**
Wow, what a rush!
**[10:50] Yu**
Saku-nee-san, I brought
today's batch of orders.
**[10:53] Sakura**
Hey idiot, I told you to text
before coming over.
**[10:57] Yu**
S-Sorry.
**[10:58] Yu**
Oh, and I think we'll get more
orders thanks to Himari's promo.
**[11:02] Yu**
Can you spare some more supply fees?
**[11:05] Senpai A**
Hey, Inuzuka-san.
**[11:07] Senpai A**
You're not dating that loser
you're always with, are you?
**[11:10] Senpai A**
You could do so much better.
**[11:12] Himari**
Is that any of your business, Senpai?
**[11:14] Senpai A**
Um, I guess not.
**[11:19] Himari**
*What an idiot.*
**[11:21] Himari**
* Anyone who doesn't get Yu*
* has no right to judge us.*
**[11:26] Himari**
* Can a boy-girl friendship*
* survive? Of course it can!*
**[11:30] Himari**
*How else would you explain this feeling?*
**[11:34] Himari**
* Are you saying my desire*
* to support Yu's dreams is*
**[11:36] Himari**
*just a means to kiss him or sleep with him?*
**[11:40] Himari**
* If I really wanted to kiss Yu,*
* I wouldn't go through all that trouble.*
**[11:44] Himari**
* When Yu finds a girlfriend one day,*
* I'd want her to accept us.*
**[11:49] Himari**
* It'd be depressing to part ways*
* with Yu just because he found a girlfriend.*
**[11:56] Yu**
*I'll get one for Himari, too.*
**[12:04] Yu**
*Whoa, she's gorgeous.*
**[12:08] Yu**
*Shit, she saw me staring.*
**[12:13] Yu**
* Pretty girls aren't my thing,*
* but I like them.*
**[12:16] Yu**
*It feels like a huge contradiction, I know.*
**[12:18] Yu**
* But I use them as reference*
* for my accessories.*
**[12:22] Yu**
*Maybe something from the neck down?*
**[12:26] Yu**
*Her nails would pair well with...*
**[12:28] Yu**
*A bracelet!*
**[12:30] Yu**
*That queen of the night...*
**[12:31] Yu**
*I sold it back at the bazaar.*
**[12:33] Yu**
* I figured only Himari still had*
* an accessory from back then—*
**[12:40] Rion**
No way!
**[12:40] Rion**
It broke? How?
**[12:52] Yu**
Hey. Want me to fix it?
**[12:56] Yu**
*I'm not sure why.*
**[12:58] Yu**
* But I found myself staring*
* at the dark-haired beauty.*
**[13:02] Yu**
* Usually, I can barely lock eyes*
* with someone I just met.*
**[13:06] Rion**
Excuse me?
**[13:08] Rion**
What do you want?
**[13:09] Yu**
S-Sorry, it seemed really
important to you, that's all.
**[13:12] Yu**
Forget I mentioned it!
**[13:14] Yu**
*Damn, that sucked!*
**[13:16] Yu**
* If Himari ever found out, she'd squeal*
* with happiness and yell "Bwa-ha!" at me.*
**[13:20] Yu**
*She can't know about this.*
**[13:21] Yu**
*I'll take it to my grave!*

**[13:50] Yu**
You're acting like a total kid!
**[13:52] Teacher**
Natsume-kun.
**[13:53] Teacher**
Don't interrupt Inuzuka-san's studies!
**[13:57] Yu**
You've gotta be kidding!
**[14:00] Himari**
You should be glad!
**[14:02] Himari**
Someone still had one of your early pieces!
**[14:06] Yu**
I guess.
**[14:07] Yu**
* But I don't recognize that girl as*
* one of my customers.*
**[14:10] Girl C**
Natsume-kun! You have a visitor!
**[14:13] Makishima**
Sup, Natsu!
**[14:16] Makishima**
I figured you were lonely.
**[14:18] Yu**
Hey, it's the womanizer.
**[14:22] Makishima**
That's no way to greet a friend!
**[14:23] Makishima**
But I like that about you!
**[14:26] Himari**
Hey, it's Makishima-kun! What's up?
**[14:29] Makishima**
Hi there, Himari-chan. How's it going?
**[14:33] Himari**
Just living my best high
school life. Thanks to you.
**[14:37] Makishima**
Glad to hear that. I am lending
you my dear Natsu, after all.
**[14:43] Himari**
You mean *my* Yu? Thanks
for always watching out for him.
**[14:47] Yu**
* Why are these two fighting*
* over which one owns me?*
**[14:51] Yu**
Didn't you two go out in middle school?
**[14:55] Yu**
Why don't you get along?
**[14:58] Himari**
I dated him out of boredom,
but man, it was a nightmare.
**[15:03] Makishima**
You really despise me that much?
**[15:05] Makishima**
I'm not sure why.
**[15:07] Himari**
You had five girlfriends,
and I somehow took all the blame!
**[15:09] Himari**
Do you know how bad I got bullied?
**[15:15] Makishima**
None of it would've happened
if you didn't accept the
**[15:17] Makishima**
offer of someone you don't even like.
**[15:19] Makishima**
You figured I'd be
the same as any other guy.
**[15:20] Yu**
*Jeez, what a scumbag.*
**[15:22] Makishima**
I'd say it was a small price
for a good lesson learned.
**[15:22] Yu**
*He's even a pro at gaslighting.*
**[15:25] Himari**
Like you're one to talk!
**[15:26] Yu**
Wait, why did you come over to visit?
**[15:29] Makishima**
Oh, right.
**[15:31] Makishima**
Natsu, did you talk to a girl
by the vending machines yesterday?
**[15:36] Yu**
A girl?
**[15:39] Yu**
Was that your girlfriend?
**[15:41] Makishima**
No, no. That's not it.
**[15:44] Makishima**
Come on, Rin-chan!
**[15:45] Makishima**
You wanna fix your bracelet, right?
**[15:50] Rion**
Hello.
**[15:52] Himari**
Is that Enocchi?
**[15:54] Rion**
Hii-chan?
**[15:58] Himari**
Who would've thought the girl Yu
was looking for was Enocchi.
**[16:02] Yu**
I wasn't looking for her, but okay.
**[16:05] Yu**
It's a small world out here in the boonies.
**[16:08] Yu**
Enomoto aka "Enocchi."
And Rion aka "Rin-chan."
**[16:11] Himari**
But I had no clue she was childhood
friends with Makishima-kun.
**[16:15] Himari**
She went to another middle
school, so it makes sense.
**[16:19] Himari**
We used to hang out a few times
a year in elementary school.
**[16:22] Himari**
My brother and Enocchi's sister are
from the same class.
**[16:27] Himari**
Oh yeah, and Yu!
**[16:28] Yu**
What? Me?
**[16:30] Himari**
Remember that second day of the bazaar?
**[16:32] Himari**
Enocchi's sister was the one
who promoted your accessories.
**[16:35] Himari**
She was modeling for magazines back then.
**[16:38] Himari**
Now, she's all over
commercials and magazines.
**[16:42] Himari**
I bet that's where Enocchi got the bracelet.
**[16:45] Yu**
Sounds pretty likely.
**[16:48] Yu**
She probably has no idea I made it.
**[16:51] Yu**
Um, do you mind if I take a look?
**[16:55] Rion**
Here.
**[17:00] Yu**
*The joints look worn out.*
**[17:03] Yu**
*I should be able to replace them.*
**[17:06] Rion**
Don't tell me you can't fix it.
**[17:08] Yu**
Um, it's uhh...
**[17:09] Himari**
Stop, Enocchi! It's all good!
**[17:12] Rion**
What?
**[17:13] Himari**
Yu's a scaredy cat, so take it easy on him.
**[17:15] Himari**
He's not great with new
people, but he's trying!
**[17:20] Rion**
I'm not being mean.
**[17:22] Himari**
You should see your face, though. Look!
**[17:30] Himari**
Enocchi?
**[17:32] Yu**
Y-You okay?
**[17:35] Rion**
You said you could fix it, so hurry up!
**[17:38] Yu**
*Man, she really took a huge fall.*
**[17:38] Rion**
Ugh, this sucks! You said it'd get fixed!
**[17:40] Yu**
*She's... How do I say this...*
**[17:43] Himari**
You're still such a klutz!
**[17:46] Yu**
*She flat out said it!*
**[17:47] Rion**
That was totally your fault, Hii-chan!
**[17:50] Himari**
I dunno, I think it was clearly on...
**[17:55] Himari**
Bwa-ha—
**[17:58] Rion**
You've always been so insensitive.
**[18:00] Rion**
I haven't forgotten that you stole
my favorite keychain and toys!
**[18:06] Himari**
Enocchi, I give up!
**[18:07] Yu**
*Wow, Himari's actually losing.*
**[18:10] Yu**
*I could use some pointers.*
**[18:12] Rion**
And don't remind me
of that PE class from freshman year.
**[18:15] Himari**
That was just—! I couldn't help myself!
**[18:18] Himari**
I had to grab them for myself!
**[18:20] Himari**
That was a once-in-a-lifetime
chance! Until...
**[18:26] Himari**
Second chance!
**[18:37] Yu**
What the hell are you doing?! Stop!
**[18:39] Himari**
You'd do the same
if these were within your grasp!
**[18:42] Yu**
No, I wouldn't!
**[18:43] Yu**
And don't say that in front of her!
**[18:44] Himari**
Stop covering your own ass, you coward!
**[18:47] Rion**
Shut up! You'll pay
for years of embarrassing me!
***SIGN*** I grabbed my friends boobs (again) today.
**[18:54] Yu**
I think these parts need to be replaced.
**[18:57] Yu**
I'll leave the resin over the flower as-is.
**[19:01] Yu**
Alright, I'll get started.
**[19:08] Rion**
Hii-chan, is he...?
**[19:10] Himari**
He's always like this when he's working.
**[19:13] Himari**
When it comes to his craft,
he's totally locked in.
**[19:17] Himari**
I don't think he even hears us talking.
**[19:20] Himari**
Wanna try something?
**[19:21] Rion**
Try what?
**[19:28] Yu**
Phew. All done... Wait...
**[19:33] Yu**
What's wrong?
**[19:33] Himari**
You gotta see this.
**[19:39] Yu**
Himari! What did you do?
**[19:41] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[19:42] Himari**
Did you hear that?
**[19:43] Himari**
He screamed like a girl. I can't!
**[19:45] Yu**
I can't get them out! Do something!
**[19:48] Yu**
What the—? Ow!
**[19:51] Rion**
Hii-chan, you're so mean!
**[19:54] Yu**
You're guilty too, Enomoto-san!
**[19:59] Yu**
What do you think?
**[20:04] Rion**
Thanks!
**[20:09] Yu**
I'm heading home before
the rain comes down. See ya.
**[20:12] Himari**
You could just take the bus with us!
**[20:15] Rion**
Hii-chan, are you two...?
**[20:18] Himari**
Yu? We've been best friends
since middle school.
**[20:22] Rion**
So you're not dating?
**[20:23] Himari**
Uh-oh, is he your type?
**[20:25] Rion**
N-No, it's not that!
**[20:27] Himari**
* Yu's the best when he's*
* making his accessories.*
**[20:31] Himari**
*Not that she'd understand.*
**[20:36] Himari**
* I probably won't ever be*
* able to leave Yu's side.*
**[20:40] Himari**
*We'll be best friends forever, until...*
**[20:44] Himari**
*Yu quits making accessories.*
**[20:48] Yu**
Aw man, here it comes!
**[20:51] Rion**
Hey, Hii-chan?
**[20:53] Rion**
Have you ever been asked out
by someone you've never seen before?
**[20:57] Himari**
Come again?
**[20:59] Himari**
You mean like people online?
**[21:01] Rion**
I guess it feels kinda like that.
**[21:06] Rion**
My mom used to tell me...
**[21:08] Rion**
Only those with kind hearts can
make things that move people.
***SIGN*** Bus
**[21:13] Himari**
Your family runs a confectionery, right?

Is this about craftsmanship?
**[21:18] Himari**
What does that have to do
with people online?
**[21:21] Rion**
I had no idea what they looked like.
**[21:24] Rion**
But I had a feeling they
were someone nearby.
**[21:27] Himari**
Really? What made you think—
**[21:31] Rion**
I knew because their work
was always in your pictures.
**[21:38] Himari**
Umm, Enocchi, maybe we can talk—
**[21:40] Rion**
That store that makes your accessories...
**[21:44] Rion**
It's Natsume-kun, isn't it?
**[21:47] Himari**
*I was too arrogant.*
**[21:50] Himari**
*I figured only I knew Yu for who he was.*
**[21:56] Himari**
* As if believing that our friendship was*
* above everything else*
**[22:00] Himari**
* was nothing more than*
* my own wishful thinking.*

**[00:01] Yu**
* When did I last talk*
* with a girl that wasn't Himari?*
**[00:07] Yu**
Mornin'. You work the night shift?
**[00:09] Sakura**
Yup. Jeez...
**[00:12] Sakura**
I thought I was tired,
but you don't look too hot yourself.
**[00:16] Yu**
I guess I'm just not great
at handling change.
**[00:19] Sakura**
You sit alone and fidget
around with accessories.
**[00:22] Sakura**
What kind of change could
you possibly encounter?
**[00:25] Yu**
*Ouch, Saku-nee-san...*
**[00:30] Sakura**
So a girl asked you
to fix your bracelet, huh?
**[00:35] Sakura**
Maybe it'll be good inspiration.
**[00:38] Yu**
Inspiration? How?
**[00:40] Sakura**
Well you're always making stuff
based on Himari-chan's image.
**[00:45] Sakura**
To be honest, your accessories
all look the same recently.
**[00:50] Sakura**
They just give off the same vibe.
**[00:54] Sakura**
Like a garden frozen in time.
**[00:57] Yu**
Garden?
**[00:58] Sakura**
Don't tell me you didn't notice.
**[01:03] Sakura**
There's no romantic passion...
**[01:05] Sakura**
Or despair from heartbreak.
**[01:08] Sakura**
Your work could use some
of that emotional range.
**[01:11] Yu**
B-But sales are doing great.
**[01:14] Sakura**
You sure?
**[01:15] Sakura**
Do you even have loyal repeat customers?
**[01:19] Sakura**
Look. We have a deal, remember?
**[01:23] Sakura**
If you can't open your own store
by the time you're thirty,
**[01:25] Sakura**
give it up and take over
our convenience store.
**[01:28] Yu**
I-I know.
**[01:30] Sakura**
Of course, you can marry
Himari-chan in that case.
**[01:33] Sakura**
You'll need to pay
for things after retirement,
**[01:35] Sakura**
and we'll get taken care of by a
pretty girl who's quick on her feet!

**[03:31] Makishima**
You never told me what happened
with Natsu yesterday.
**[03:35] Makishima**
How did it go?
**[03:36] Rion**
Nothing happened, obviously.
**[03:39] Makishima**
But you're gonna ask him, right?
**[03:43] Makishima**
Don't you want help from me,
your wingman?
**[03:47] Makishima**
So you can figure out your next move?
**[03:51] Rion**
I didn't ask for your help.
**[03:53] Himari**
There she is! Enocchi!
**[03:56] Himari**
Oh, look who's here.
**[03:58] Makishima**
Is that any way to greet someone?
**[04:00] Makishima**
Besides, I was talking with Rin-chan first.
**[04:03] Himari**
You're done, right?
**[04:05] Makishima**
Actually, we were just getting
to the juicy part.
**[04:08] Girl A**
Makishima-senpai!
**[04:11] Makishima**
What's the matter?
**[04:11] Girl A**
Could you take a look at my form?
**[04:15] Himari**
Aren't those the girls from the Tennis
Club you've been trying to get with?
**[04:19] Himari**
You shouldn't keep them waiting!
**[04:22] Makishima**
No need to warn me, Himari-chan.
**[04:25] Himari**
Now that we've got him out of the way...
**[04:28] Himari**
Enocchi, guess what? I've got a great idea!
**[04:32] Himari**
Wanna hear?
**[04:33] Rion**
I have a bad feeling about this.
**[04:37] Yu**
* You guys are the only ones who can*
* make me feel better in times of need.*
**[04:40] Himari**
Hey, Yu!
**[04:42] Himari**
No work today?
**[04:44] Yu**
After I'm done here,
I'm heading home for the day.
**[04:46] Yu**
What about you?
**[04:47] Himari**
I guess I'll help then!
**[04:50] Himari**
You seemed deep in
thought during class today.
**[04:53] Yu**
Way to notice, best friend.
**[04:55] Himari**
So what's up?
**[04:57] Yu**
I'm thinking about switching
things up for my next piece.
**[05:01] Yu**
The concepts: "romantic passion"
and "despair from heartbreak!"
**[05:05] Himari**
Bwa-ha! What the heck?!
**[05:08] Himari**
You're into romance all the sudden?
**[05:11] Himari**
So that's why!
**[05:13] Himari**
Sakura-san definitely has a point.
**[05:16] Yu**
You think so?
**[05:17] Himari**
You've always made stuff you liked yourself.
**[05:21] Himari**
But you need to value
the customer's perspective, too!
**[05:26] Yu**
The customer's perspective?
**[05:28] Yu**
So let's say I'll work on that.
**[05:30] Yu**
What do you think about
making romance the concept?
**[05:33] Himari**
It makes sense.
**[05:34] Himari**
Your main target is female customers.
**[05:36] Himari**
And girls love romance!
**[05:39] Yu**
I thought you said you
don't get that kinda stuff.
**[05:44] Himari**
I don't, but you know how guys come after me.
**[05:48] Himari**
It's game over by the time they confess.
**[05:51] Himari**
So I'm at the top of the food chain!
**[05:53] Yu**
Well then, Miss "Queen of Romance"...
**[05:57] Yu**
What exactly is love?
**[05:58] Himari**
Wanting to kiss or have sex with someone?
**[06:01] Yu**
Isn't that lust?
**[06:03] Himari**
But you don't feel that stuff
without romance, right?
**[06:07] Himari**
So wanting to kiss someone and liking
someone happens at the same time!
**[06:12] Yu**
So how's that different from lust?
**[06:15] Himari**
Maybe lust is just a receptor
for romantic attraction.
**[06:19] Himari**
By the way, what kinda stuff turns you on?
**[06:21] Yu**
You're asking me that?
**[06:23] Himari**
You like bigger boobs better?
**[06:25] Himari**
Do you like black hair?
Or some red undertones?
**[06:28] Himari**
Oh, and long hair only!
**[06:30] Himari**
How would kissing Enocchi make you feel?
**[06:32] Yu**
How did Enomoto-san enter
the picture all the sudden?
**[06:35] Himari**
I just figured it's easier to imagine
with a model in mind.
**[06:40] Himari**
I'm not trying to probe
your compatibility or anything.
**[06:44] Yu**
*Wait.*
**[06:45] Yu**
* Is she giving me the "Ugh,*
* virgins are so helpless" look?*
**[06:50] Yu**
* We're basically equally*
* inexperienced, you know.*
**[06:55] Yu**
I dunno.
**[06:57] Yu**
I've never looked at a girl
and wanted to kiss her.
**[07:00] Himari**
Wanna try it out?
**[07:02] Himari**
Try out kissing...
**[07:04] Himari**
with me.
**[07:05] Yu**
What?!
**[07:07] Yu**
We can't.
**[07:09] Himari**
Why not?
**[07:09] Yu**
'Cause wanting to kiss someone
means romantic attraction.
**[07:14] Yu**
Is that how you see me?
**[07:17] Himari**
Nope! You're just a best friend!
**[07:21] Himari**
Neither of us know what it's like
to wanna kiss someone, right?
**[07:25] Himari**
If we try it out, we might realize
we've known the feeling all along!
**[07:29] Yu**
*I gotta hand it to her.*
**[07:31] Yu**
*She definitely comes up original ideas.*
**[07:34] Yu**
* But this one's gotta be*
* the stupidest one yet.*
**[07:36] Yu**
That's no reason to kiss your friend.
**[07:39] Yu**
Hey—!
**[07:41] Himari**
If you don't feel anything, how's it
any different from holding hands like this?
**[07:45] Himari**
It's the same skin-to-skin contact.
**[07:48] Yu**
Don't say that like I'm some loser
secretly wanting to hold hands with girls.
**[07:52] Himari**
I'm holding hands on my own accord.
**[07:55] Yu**
Then that makes you the loser.
**[07:57] Himari**
Don't worry. I won't do this
with anyone else.
**[08:03] Himari**
Ready?
**[08:04] Yu**
*Hold up. Wait, calm down!*
**[08:06] Yu**
*She's just kidding like usual.*
**[08:08] Yu**
*She'll "Bwa-ha!" at me soon enough.*
**[08:11] Yu**
*But why are her cheeks red?*
**[08:13] Yu**
*And her eyes watering?*
**[08:14] Yu**
*No, don't tug at my tie!*
**[08:16] Yu**
*She's getting way too close.*
**[08:20] Yu**
*I-I can feel her breath!*
**[08:21] Yu**
*Why is my heart beating so hard?*
**[08:23] Yu**
*This isn't funny.*
**[08:26] Yu**
*But man, she's so pretty!*
**[08:34] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[08:38] Yu**
*I figured.*
**[08:41] Himari**
My bad! I couldn't help myself.
**[08:43] Yu**
I knew it was a joke.
**[08:45] Himari**
Besides, it'd be bad
if I did that with you right now.
**[08:50] Yu**
*There she goes.*
**[08:51] Yu**
* "But wasn't I so cute when*
* I was tricking you into kissing me?"*
**[08:55] Yu**
*Or something like that.*
**[08:57] Yu**
*Yeah, just adorable. Congrats.*
**[09:00] Himari**
Alright!
**[09:01] Himari**
I'll repay you for being mean.
**[09:04] Himari**
Keep this Saturday afternoon open for me?
**[09:06] Yu**
Saturday afternoon? For what?
**[09:09] Himari**
It's a surprise!
**[09:12] Yu**
*Later, that Saturday...*
**[09:15] Hibari**
I haven't seen you in forever!
How've you been?
**[09:17] Yu**
Um, fine.
**[09:18] Hibari**
You haven't dropped by much
lately. I've missed you!
**[09:23] Hibari**
When Himari asked me
to pick you up, I couldn't resist.
**[09:26] Yu**
I'm sorry for the trouble.
Oh, and the sushi the other day.
**[09:31] Hibari**
It's my pleasure!
**[09:33] Hibari**
I need to look after my
little brother-in-law.
**[09:36] Yu**
* He threw that in so casually,*
* I can't even push back.*
**[09:39] Yu**
Um, I'm not used to luxury sushi.
**[09:42] Yu**
It's a waste to spend it on me.
**[09:46] Hibari**
See, that's what I love about you,
little brother of mine!
**[09:50] Yu**
I wish I could combine you
with Saku-nee-san and divide it in half.
**[09:54] Hibari**
Sakura-kun?
**[09:55] Hibari**
I suppose she's never been one
to mince her words with anyone.
**[09:59] Hibari**
But her straightforwardness is her charm.
**[10:02] Yu**
She really let me have it the other day.
**[10:05] Yu**
You two were classmates, right?
**[10:07] Hibari**
That's right.
**[10:07] Hibari**
In high school, everyone knew
Sakura-kun as a brilliant talent.
**[10:13] Yu**
I wonder how we're so different
when we're siblings.
**[10:17] Hibari**
Yu-kun, you have talent
as an accessories maker.
**[10:20] Hibari**
What's not to love?
**[10:22] Yu**
Thank you.
**[10:24] Hibari**
You're welcome to work at our place
anytime you want, my dear little brother!
**[10:30] Yu**
* As a teenage guy, his overtly welcome*
* mood oddly has the opposite effect.*
**[10:37] Yu**
What plans do you have
after this, Hibari-san?
**[10:40] Hibari**
I'm off to work so I can beat those useless
geezers in upper management to a pulp.
**[10:45] Hibari**
As much as I'd love to hang out
with you and shop for anime merch...
**[10:50] Hibari**
That's the corporate hustle life!
**[10:53] Yu**
* I'm pretty sure he said something*
* terrifying before he sped off.*
**[10:56] Yu**
* Like Himari, you can never tell*
* if he's kidding or serious.*
**[11:00] Himari**
Hey, Yu!
**[11:02] Himari**
You're late! Was there traffic?
**[11:05] Yu**
Um, not really.
**[11:07] Himari**
Yu, don't I always say that
good style starts with yourself?
**[11:13] Yu**
* "You have such a cute and stylish*
* girl waiting on you hand and foot."*
**[11:16] Yu**
* "The least you could do is dress better*
* than like you just got off work."*
**[11:20] Yu**
*Is that it?*
**[11:21] Yu**
*I mean, she definitely is cute and stylish.*
**[11:25] Yu**
Well, if your brother weren't
rushing me, I could've changed.
**[11:29] Himari**
We have a special guest today.
It's not just us, you know!
**[11:41] Rion**
Hello.
**[11:44] Yu**
Huh?
**[11:46] Yu**
U-Um...
**[11:48] Yu**
Is Makishima coming, too?
**[11:50] Rion**
Shii-kun has practice today.
**[11:52] Yu**
O-Oh.
**[11:54] Yu**
*Wait, didn't we break the ice the other day?*
**[11:58] Yu**
* Is she one of those video game characters*
* whose interactions reset every day?*
**[12:02] Himari**
Ahem. By the way, Yu.
**[12:04] Himari**
What's the imagery for your next product?
**[12:07] Yu**
Next product? I dunno.
**[12:10] Himari**
Well that's not good.
**[12:11] Himari**
You gotta try new things
if you wanna revamp your style!
**[12:17] Yu**
Sure, but new things like what?
**[12:20] Himari**
Lucky for you!
**[12:21] Himari**
Enocchi agreed to stand
in as a temporary model for you!
**[12:25] Yu**
What?
**[12:26] Yu**
Wait, you told her those
accessories were made by me?
**[12:29] Himari**
I didn't have to.
**[12:30] Himari**
Enocchi figured it out on her own.
**[12:32] Rion**
You had a huge stock of parts,
so I knew something was up.
**[12:37] Yu**
R-Right.
**[12:39] Himari**
Anyways, Enocchi asked me how she
could thank you for fixing her bracelet.
**[12:44] Himari**
So I thought it'd be nice to have
a different model for a change.
**[12:49] Yu**
Makes sense.
**[12:51] Himari**
Man, you're lucky you get to be with
such pretty girls under the guise of work.
**[12:57] Himari**
But Enocchi says she's game!
**[12:59] Yu**
But it's so sudden—
**[13:03] Himari**
Switching up the model is just
the inspiration you need!
**[13:06] Himari**
We can shoot at Enocchi's
confectionery shop!
**[13:10] Yu**
For real? Isn't that a bit much?
**[13:12] Himari**
The next holiday should be
pretty slow, it'll be fine!
**[13:16] Himari**
Right?
**[13:17] Rion**
U-Um, I should ask my mom—Ahh!
**[13:25] Yu**
Hey, Himari. This
is too brash, even for you.
**[13:30] Himari**
Enocchi's just as shy as you are.
**[13:31] Himari**
If I didn't push for it,
nothing would happen!
**[13:34] Yu**
Huh? What do you mean?
**[13:37] Himari**
It's a secret.
**[13:41] Yu**
Yes!
**[13:43] Rion**
He seems different than usual...
**[13:46] Himari**
Yup, like a kid in a candy store.
**[13:48] Himari**
Hey, Yu! Don't leave Enocchi alone!
**[13:53] Himari**
What about this garnet stone?
**[13:55] Yu**
Yeah! Enomoto-san, you look great in red.
**[13:58] Himari**
If we're sticking with warm tones,
this carnelian looks nice, too.
**[14:02] Yu**
Orange? Yeah, I like that, too!
**[14:04] Rion**
Natsume-kun, Hii-chan, what are you doing?
**[14:07] Yu**
Oops, sorry.
**[14:08] Yu**
We're seeing what colors
and accessories pair well with you.
**[14:12] Yu**
Oh no, was I being creepy?
**[14:14] Rion**
Not creepy. I'm just surprised.
**[14:16] Himari**
You can say it. Yu's a *total* creep!
**[14:19] Yu**
Hey. How about "Yu's not
creepy at all!" instead?
**[14:22] Himari**
Um, but you are creepy.
**[14:24] Himari**
Sorry to break it to you.
**[14:26] Himari**
I mean, you were talking
to yourself in an accessories shop!
**[14:30] Yu**
You didn't need to take it that far!
**[14:32] Yu**
Hey, don't run off! Himari-san!
**[14:36] Himari**
Enocchi really laughs at anything!
**[14:38] Yu**
Stop making fun of people.
**[14:40] Himari**
Hey, Yu.
**[14:42] Himari**
Enocchi has great skin,
so we should shoot some close-ups!
**[14:46] Yu**
*Her nape is definitely a selling point.*
**[14:49] Yu**
Do you mind if we try some on?
**[14:52] Rion**
Th-That's fine.
**[14:53] Himari**
Yu, could you put that necklace on Enocchi?
**[14:57] Yu**
I mean sure, but...
**[14:59] Yu**
Wouldn't that make her uncomfortable?
**[15:02] Himari**
You're fine, right Enocchi?
**[15:04] Rion**
I-I guess...
**[15:07] Yu**
*Right. She doesn't see me that way.*
**[15:11] Yu**
* "Ew, Natsume-kun. You're*
* such a self-conscious creep!"*
**[15:14] Yu**
* Better get this over with*
* before she says that.*
**[15:17] Yu**
Okay, sit still.
**[15:23] Yu**
There! How's—
**[15:24] Himari**
You know what I've been
thinking about all day?
**[15:27] Himari**
How sexy Enocchi's fashion sense is!
**[15:31] Yu**
Huh?!
**[15:32] Yu**
Himari! Shut up!
**[15:33] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[15:34] Himari**
Just kidding!
**[15:35] Himari**
Yu, your reaction screams "virgin!"
**[15:39] Rion**
Hii-chan!
**[15:39] Himari**
Ow, ow! Don't grab me like I'm a cat!
**[15:42] Yu**
* You're wrong for thinking it was*
* that harmless in the first place.*
**[15:47] Yu**
We've picked up enough parts.
**[15:49] Yu**
So I'll test out some flowers,
then design a new product to shoot.
**[15:54] Rion**
Okay.
**[15:56] Rion**
Wait, is that—
**[15:59] Rion**
Wow. They're so pretty.
**[16:00] Yu**
This place uses a lot
of flowers in their displays.
**[16:04] Rion**
It's like that one time!
**[16:06] Yu**
That one time?
**[16:08] Rion**
N-Never mind.
**[16:11] Himari**
Made up your mind?
**[16:13] Yu**
R-Right.
**[16:15] Yu**
I'm thinking warm tones.
**[16:16] Yu**
Something we're not already
growing in our garden.
**[16:20] Himari**
How about roses?
**[16:22] Yu**
Nah, that would feel like
a beauty with thorns.
**[16:26] Yu**
Enomoto-san's more like...
**[16:29] Himari**
You're right, she's the opposite.
**[16:31] Yu**
She seems thorny,
but she's actually really sincere.
**[16:34] Himari**
I told you. She's cute, right?
**[16:37] Yu**
Sure, she's cute but...
**[16:40] Yu**
What are you doing?
**[16:41] Himari**
I'm getting something to drink.
**[16:42] Himari**
You should apologize to Enocchi.
**[16:45] Yu**
You mean for what *you* did?
**[16:48] Yu**
Hey, don't leave us alone.
**[16:51] Himari**
Think of it as practice!
**[16:52] Himari**
I'll pay you back later.
**[16:56] Himari**
*I've made my choice.*
**[16:57] Himari**
*I'll support their love.*
**[17:00] Himari**
* I always imagined keeping Yu for myself until*
* someone who fully understood him came along.*
**[17:09] Yu**
Um, Enomoto-san...
**[17:10] Yu**
Sorry for what happened back there.
**[17:12] Rion**
Th-That was Hii-chan's fault.
**[17:15] Yu**
You two were friends
in elementary school, right?
**[17:18] Yu**
Was she always that brash?
**[17:20] Rion**
Nope.
**[17:22] Rion**
My mom and I used to
deliver cakes to her house.
**[17:25] Rion**
She was really quiet back then.
**[17:28] Rion**
She was always reading books in her room.
**[17:30] Rion**
Her mom asked me to be her friend,
so I gave her cookies.
**[17:36] Yu**
I can't really imagine that.
**[17:40] Yu**
Wh-What kind of flowers would you like?
**[17:43] Yu**
I was thinking the model should
decide the flower this time.
**[17:47] Rion**
Big ones.
**[17:49] Rion**
I like the big kind of flowers.
**[17:52] Yu**
Big flowers... That'd suit you perfectly.
**[17:55] Yu**
You're so pretty, big flowers
wouldn't overwhelm you.
**[17:58] Yu**
N-Not in a creepy way!
**[18:00] Rion**
I know. You don't need to keep saying that.
**[18:03] Rion**
So what's the plan?
**[18:05] Yu**
Big flowers and the concept of romance.
**[18:08] Yu**
How about tulips?
**[18:10] Yu**
They represent "love" and "thoughtfulness."
**[18:13] Yu**
They're actually really sensual.
**[18:16] Yu**
Depending on how they bloom,
they can feel different.
**[18:18] Rion**
How they bloom?
**[18:19] Rion**
They're not all the same?
**[18:21] Yu**
It changes with temperature.
**[18:23] Yu**
Flower shops monitor that stuff,
but it's obvious when they grow outside.
**[18:27] Yu**
I used to observe them... Sorry!
**[18:30] Yu**
That was probably a weird topic.
**[18:32] Rion**
Why's that?
**[18:33] Yu**
I've never been into baseball or soccer.
**[18:36] Yu**
I didn't have friends.
**[18:37] Yu**
I've been told a million
times that I'm boring.
**[18:41] Yu**
L-Let me go check out!
**[18:42] Yu**
I'll meet you outside.
**[18:45] Rion**
Why do you like flowers so much?
**[18:49] Yu**
Do I have to answer?
**[18:51] Yu**
I appreciate you being a model,
but that's kind of—
**[18:55] Rion**
Tell me.
**[18:57] Yu**
*Queen of the night...*
**[18:59] Yu**
*It only blooms for one night.*
**[19:01] Yu**
* But its scent is so captivating,*
* keepers can't help but grow them.*
**[19:07] Yu**
When I was in elementary school,
my family and I went to a botanical garden.
**[19:11] Yu**
I ended up wandering off on my own.
**[19:20] Yu**
This girl I never saw
before was lost like me.
**[19:24] Yu**
So I looked for her parents with her.
**[19:29] Yu**
And used what little allowance I had.
**[19:33] Yu**
She said she'd take it home
to remember me by.
**[19:37] Yu**
That she'd wear it in her hair every day.
**[19:40] Yu**
Obviously, I'm sure they wilted.
**[19:43] Yu**
That's how I started learning about flowers.
**[19:45] Yu**
So I could preserve them
for as long as possible.
**[19:48] Yu**
And maybe they'd find her one day.
**[19:51] Yu**
S-See? I told you it's creepy!
**[19:52] Yu**
Enough story time.
**[19:54] Yu**
I haven't told anyone besides Himari this—
**[19:56] Rion**
It was a hibiscus, wasn't it?
**[19:58] Rion**
The flower she wore in her hair.
**[20:00] Rion**
It was so beautiful.
**[20:02] Rion**
So big and bright red.
**[20:05] Rion**
You told her they were like
the color of her hair.
**[20:10] Rion**
I always hated my hair color,
but ever since then,
**[20:14] Rion**
it hasn't seemed all that bad.
**[20:18] Rion**
Natsume-kun, your flowers did find her.
**[20:25] Yu**
Thanks for letting me know...
**[20:27] Rion**
Yu-kun!
**[20:36] Yu**
* The hibiscus represents*
* "delicate beauty" and "new love."*
**[20:49] Yu**
*Did Himari head home without us?*
**[20:52] Rion**
Yu-kun.
**[20:53] Rion**
Can I have your number, too?
***SIGN*** Rion
**[20:54] Yu**
O-Oh, um, okay.
**[21:10] (Flashback) Rion**
Two years ago, my sister
brought home this bracelet.
**[21:14] (Flashback) Rion**
And a boy's face popped in my head.
**[21:16] (Flashback) Rion**
He gave me a flower at the botanical garden.
**[21:19] Himari**
* It's a story I've heard over*
* and over from Yu.*
**[21:23] Himari**
*It felt like fate.*
**[21:26] Himari**
* A person way closer to Yu*
* than any best friend.*
**[21:29] Himari**
*That's why I wanted to set them up.*
**[21:33] Himari**
*But I was wrong.*
**[21:36] Himari**
*Those two didn't need my help.*
**[21:41] Himari**
*Of course I'm happy.*
**[21:43] Himari**
* I love them both,*
* and they'll be happy together.*
**[21:46] Himari**
*Why wouldn't I be excited for them?*
**[21:49] Himari**
But...
**[21:50] Himari**
I've never seen Yu's eyes like that.
**[21:55] Himari**
*In that moment, Yu seemed so far away.*
**[21:58] Himari**
*I couldn't go back.*
**[22:01] Himari**
*But I'm not sure why.*

*Jeez...*
**[00:03] Yu**
*I haven't slept at all the past two days.*

**[00:16] Himari**
Hey, Yu! Morning!
**[00:19] Yu**
Hey! What happened to you on Saturday?
**[00:23] Himari**
What do you mean?
**[00:24] Yu**
Why are you all the way over there?
**[00:26] Himari**
Something got you down in the dumps?
**[00:28] Yu**
* So she's gonna play it*
* off like nothing happened.*
**[00:31] Yu**
A-Are you okay?
**[00:32] Himari**
Huh? What are you talking about?
**[00:36] Yu**
I can tell there's something up with you!
**[00:38] Himari**
Yu, get away!
**[00:40] Yu**
Did I do something to make you mad?
**[00:42] Yu**
If I did, then—
**[00:42] Himari**
No, it's not that!
**[00:44] Himari**
I just feel like keeping
a three-meter distance from you today.
**[00:48] Yu**
What kind of whim is that?
**[00:51] Rion**
Yu-kun. Morning.
**[00:59] Rion**
Good morn-ing.
**[01:01] Yu**
G-Good morning...
**[01:04] Yu**
*So she's friendly now?*
**[01:06] Yu**
* What happened to her in-game settings*
* that brought us back to square one?*
**[01:10] Rion**
Something wrong?
**[01:11] Yu**
It's Himari.
**[01:15] Rion**
Yu-kun, I got this.
**[01:17] Rion**
Hii-chan, want some cookies?
**[01:19] Himari**
No way! Really? Yay!
**[01:20] Himari**
Ow, Enocchi, you tricked me!

**[02:54] Himari**
Jeez, you're always twisting my arm.
**[02:57] Rion**
It's your own fault, Hii-chan.
**[02:59] Rion**
Always troubling people like that.
**[03:02] Himari**
The only person I'm troubling is Yu!
**[03:05] Yu**
*These two have a weird relationship...*
**[03:06] Rion**
I can't believe Yu-kun's friend
was you, of all people.
**[03:11] Rion**
H-Here, Yu-kun.
**[03:14] Yu**
For real? Th-Thanks...
**[03:17] Yu**
*Woah, she drew these with milk and cocoa.*
**[03:20] Yu**
*It's so detailed!*
**[03:24] Rion**
This is pretty much
the only thing I'm good at.
**[03:28] Rion**
I'll see you after school.
**[03:32] Himari**
Am I sensing some love blooming?
**[03:36] Himari**
She calls you "Yu-kun," huh?
**[03:38] Himari**
Looks like you've been
struck by Cupid's arrow!
**[03:41] Yu**
Cupid's arrow? Okay, boomer.
**[03:43] Himari**
Was I intruding back there?
**[03:46] Himari**
Should I read the room
and leave you two alone after school?
**[03:49] Yu**
It's not like we're dating, you know.
**[03:52] Himari**
What? Why not?
**[03:53] Himari**
She said she was your first crush!
**[03:55] Yu**
Hey! I knew you were listening back there!
**[03:59] Himari**
Oops.
**[04:00] Yu**
Get back here!
**[04:01] Yu**
Figures why you left
without saying anything.
**[04:04] Yu**
Is this your way of being nice?
**[04:06] Yu**
You've been acting weird lately.
**[04:07] Yu**
Bringing up Enomoto-san out of
nowhere, ridiculous set-ups.
**[04:11] Yu**
Trying to kiss as practice...
**[04:13] Yu**
What were you thinki—
**[04:16] Yu**
*What's going on?*
**[04:17] Yu**
*Why are her ears all red?*
**[04:19] Yu**
*Is this a pizza commercial?*
**[04:20] Yu**
* Is she thin crispy dough*
* with cheese-stuffed crust?*
**[04:23] Yu**
*You're supposed to be the one eating!*
**[04:25] Himari**
You're the one saying weird stuff.
**[04:27] Yu**
I just reiterated what you said to me!
**[04:29] Himari**
Yeah, I'm saying that's weird!
**[04:31] Yu**
But you're the one who...
**[04:34] Yu**
Anyway, Enomoto-san and I aren't like that.
**[04:37] Yu**
Besides, she may have been my first crush,
**[04:39] Yu**
but I doubt I meant anything to her.
**[04:42] Yu**
She doesn't need anyone
probing her about it.
**[04:45] Yu**
So could you cut it out with the—
**[04:49] Himari**
I think you may *actually* be an idiot.
**[04:51] Yu**
Gimme a break!
**[04:52] Yu**
This entire thing is your faul—
**[04:54] Himari**
Drink this and cool down.
**[04:56] Yu**
You're not off the hook!
**[05:00] Yu**
What's with her?
**[05:02] Yu**
* She's always been a tease,*
* but not like that.*
**[05:06] Yu**
*Don't replay it!*
**[05:09] Yu**
Cool it, Yu.
**[05:11] Yu**
*I hate to admit it.*
**[05:12] Yu**
*But Himari was kinda cute back there.*
**[05:16] Yu**
The pigments that give flowers
color also make them wither.
**[05:20] Yu**
So we extract that using ethanol solution.
**[05:22] Yu**
This draws out their coloring,
and leaves them white like this.
**[05:27] Rion**
That's so cool.
**[05:28] Rion**
What about the color?
**[05:29] Yu**
I'm using it to dye them.
**[05:31] Yu**
It may seem like a waste of time,
**[05:33] Yu**
but without this step,
it won't last as an accessory.
**[05:36] Rion**
Wow.
**[05:39] Yu**
Himari, you better not push me.
**[05:41] Yu**
* "You think a girl as cute as*
* me wants to tease you?"*
**[05:43] Yu**
*"What a self-conscious creep!"*
**[05:46] Yu**
*Something like that.*
**[05:47] Yu**
Just don't come up behind me, okay?
**[05:51] Yu**
Enomoto-san, guard me.
**[05:53] Rion**
Gotcha.
**[05:56] Yu**
The color should stick by tomorrow.
**[05:59] Yu**
It usually takes longer
with Himari messing around.
**[06:03] Himari**
You've changed, Yu.
**[06:05] Himari**
When we're alone, I barely tease you,
and you're all over me.
**[06:08] Yu**
Can you not say that like it's true?
**[06:11] Yu**
Especially in front of Enomoto-san.
**[06:14] Himari**
Then if Enocchi weren't here,
you'd try it again?
**[06:17] Himari**
Kiss me...
**[06:20] Himari**
and play pretend?
**[06:22] Yu**
Come on, don't bring that up!
**[06:24] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[06:25] Himari**
I thought you said it wasn't anything weird!
**[06:27] Yu**
You're twisting what I said!
**[06:28] Yu**
I told you that it was weird
that you'd ask me to try kissing you!
**[06:32] Himari**
So you admit it?
**[06:33] Himari**
That you tried kissing with me?
**[06:36] Yu**
That's not the point!
**[06:39] Rion**
U-Um, I think it's time for band class.
**[06:44] Yu**
E-Enomoto-san.
**[06:49] Yu**
Himari!
**[06:51] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[06:53] Himari**
Yu, you're such a dork!
**[06:53] Yu**
You just wanted to get back
at me for earlier!
**[06:55] Himari**
Yeah, and?
**[06:57] Yu**
Have some remorse!
**[06:58] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[07:00] Himari**
Man, I wish I took a video.
**[07:02] Himari**
That was hilarious, my tummy hurts.
**[07:06] Himari**
I can't... Yu, help me up.
**[07:07] Yu**
Jeez...
**[07:21] Himari**
Wanna do it?
**[07:23] Himari**
Enocchi thinks we did it anyway.
**[07:26] Himari**
What harm would it do?
**[07:28] Yu**
Th-That's not the issue.
**[07:31] Himari**
Why not?
**[07:32] Himari**
We're gonna do it anyway when we're thirty.
**[07:35] Himari**
Or will you just be my excuse
not to marry somebody else?
**[07:38] Himari**
Is that what you want?
**[07:39] Yu**
Y-You said that was a joke.
**[07:41] Himari**
Yeah but...
**[07:42] Himari**
I would never joke about
that with anyone else.
**[07:48] Himari**
You're gonna make accessories
about love, right?
**[07:51] Himari**
Why not do that with me?
**[07:58] Yu**
*Hang on, what's happening?*
**[07:59] Yu**
*Are we actually gonna do it?*
**[08:01] Yu**
*That wouldn't be a problem, I guess.*
**[08:03] Yu**
*We're all alone here.*
**[08:06] Yu**
*We could if I want.*
**[08:07] Yu**
*But aren't we like, best friends?*
**[08:09] Yu**
* This isn't a friend,*
* it's a friend with benefits.*
**[08:12] Yu**
*Himari means more to me than that.*
**[08:14] Yu**
*Dammit! She's too cute!*
**[08:17] Yu**
*Why does she have to look so good?*
**[08:19] Yu**
* How have I been able to see her like*
* any other guy friend all this time?*
**[08:26] Yu**
Yo, Himari. Show me your left hand.
**[08:28] Himari**
Are you planning on tying me up?
**[08:31] Himari**
Naughty Yu!
**[08:37] Yu**
Himari!
**[08:39] Yu**
You were *filming* me?!
**[08:39] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[08:42] Himari**
I'm having way too much fun teasing Enocchi!
**[08:45] Yu**
I can take it, but don't trick Enomoto-san!
**[08:51] Yu**
*I-I was really about to lose it just now.*
**[08:55] Himari**
I gave you the green light,
so do it already! Idiot.
**[08:58] Yu**
Did you say something?
**[09:00] Himari**
Hmm? What's up?
**[09:03] Himari**
Wimp. Coward. Flower nerd.
**[09:05] Yu**
I can tell you're talking shit!
**[09:07] Himari**
Ew, a hysteric dude? Creep!
**[09:08] Yu**
How are you getting home?
**[09:10] Himari**
I'm taking the bus today!
**[09:18] Yu**
What the hell does she want from me?
**[09:31] Makishima**
Natsu, I hear you're quite popular
with the ladies these days.
**[09:37] Yu**
Who was that girl?
**[09:39] Makishima**
Nothing serious.
**[09:41] Yu**
Is that so?
**[09:42] Makishima**
So how far have you gone with Rin-chan?
**[09:46] Makishima**
She confessed to you, didn't she?
**[09:48] Yu**
C-Confessed? Is that what that was?
**[09:51] Makishima**
You can't be serious.
**[09:52] Makishima**
She's a grade A full-course meal.
**[09:56] Makishima**
And she even brought you homemade cookies.
**[10:00] Yu**
Come on, don't talk about your
childhood friend like that.
**[10:05] Yu**
Besides, Enomoto-san isn't
the one who couldn't forget her first crush.
**[10:10] Makishima**
To think she finally met
her Prince Charming...
**[10:13] Makishima**
Only for it to be this doofus.
**[10:15] Yu**
Don't push it.
**[10:18] Makishima**
But apparently, Rin-chan likes
that you're a doofus.
**[10:22] Makishima**
My childhood friend has
the worst taste in men.
**[10:25] Yu**
Shut up. Make up your mind.
**[10:28] Yu**
Do you wanna diss me or Enomoto-san?
**[10:31] Yu**
Makishima, don't stick your nose in this.
**[10:35] Yu**
I'm having a hard enough time dealing
with Himari acting weird.
**[10:39] Makishima**
Acting weird how?
**[10:41] Yu**
What?
**[10:43] Makishima**
Just answer the question.
**[10:46] Yu**
She's like, closer than usual?
**[10:49] Yu**
I guess she's always been all over me.
**[10:51] Yu**
But it's like she's trying too hard.
**[10:56] Makishima**
Interesting.
**[10:57] Makishima**
Let me see what she's up to.
**[10:59] Rion**
Wow...
**[11:01] Rion**
They look so real.
**[11:03] Yu**
Well they are real.
**[11:05] Rion**
Yu-kun, don't be mean.
**[11:07] Yu**
Sorry.
**[11:09] Himari**
Looks like you two lovebirds
are getting along just fine.
**[11:13] Yu**
Who are you calling lovebirds?
**[11:17] Yu**
I was thinking of using these as inspiration
for my next accessory and our next shoot.
**[11:25] Yu**
Can you raise your right arm?
**[11:27] Yu**
Like there's some sun shining down on you.
**[11:30] Rion**
Like this?
**[11:37] Himari**
Poke, poke.
**[11:38] Yu**
What, Himari?
**[11:39] Himari**
Let's do some raunchy shots now!
**[11:41] Yu**
Definitely not. Can you be quiet?
**[11:43] Himari**
I know you really wanna take some.
**[11:45] Himari**
You wanna add them
to your erotica collection.
**[11:48] Yu**
No, I don't! Wanna get kicked out?
**[11:51] Himari**
So? What do you think?
**[11:52] Yu**
*Nothing's really fitting.*
**[11:55] Yu**
*They all feel too similar to Himari.*
**[11:57] Yu**
* This must be that "garden frozen in*
* time" Saku-nee-san was talking about...*
**[12:01] Yu**
*But what would be true to Enomoto-san?*
**[12:04] Yu**
* What's the difference*
* between her and Himari?*
**[12:09] Yu**
Enomoto-san, let's shoot
the queen of the night.
**[12:13] Rion**
This?
**[12:14] Yu**
No, not that.
**[12:16] Yu**
I wanna shoot you like
the queen of the night!
**[12:21] Yu**
Actually, never mind...
**[12:23] Yu**
Sorry, forget I said that.
**[12:24] Yu**
I'll take a few days to mull it over.
**[12:27] Himari**
All this wishy-washy talk
is getting annoying.
**[12:30] Himari**
Yu, just keep taking pictures.
**[12:32] Yu**
O-Okay.
**[12:51] Yu**
* Her eyes widened*
* as if to cling on to some hope.*
**[12:56] Yu**
* There's anticipation, like her*
* long-held dream is about to come true.*
**[13:00] Yu**
*But also fear of it slipping away.*
**[13:02] Yu**
Wow, Enomoto-san!
**[13:04] Yu**
That was a great shot!
**[13:05] Yu**
Is something wrong?
**[13:07] Rion**
W-Well, you and Hii-chan—
**[13:10] Himari**
I was just kidding!
**[13:12] Himari**
You're so gullible!
**[13:14] Rion**
Hii-chan!
**[13:16] Himari**
Stop! That's taking it too far!
**[13:18] Rion**
I hate you!
**[13:18] Himari**
Look, we ended up
with a good shot, so who cares?
**[13:20] Rion**
You'll pay for this!
**[13:25] Rion**
Yu-kun, how was the photo?
**[13:26] Yu**
It's perfect. You look gorgeous!
**[13:29] Yu**
Can you do the same for the shoot?
**[13:30] Rion**
Sure!
**[13:39] Yu**
Hey, what did you say to her back there?
**[13:41] Himari**
Hmm? It's a secret.
**[13:44] Yu**
*It couldn't have been anything good.*
**[13:47] Himari**
Man, Enocchi's so cute.
**[13:49] Yu**
Honestly, she's brilliant.
**[13:51] Yu**
I could edit this shot
and use it for promotions.
**[13:55] Himari**
So you're going with red tulips?
**[13:58] Yu**
Yup. It represents "confessions of love."
**[14:01] Yu**
It goes with the theme of romance, too.
**[14:04] Yu**
Now I just need to get
flowers for the shoot.
**[14:05] Yu**
And make the accessories.
**[14:08] Himari**
Hey, Yu?
**[14:11] Himari**
Make me one, too!
**[14:13] Himari**
A romantic accessory.
**[14:14] Yu**
For you?
**[14:16] Himari**
For when I fall in love one day.
**[14:20] Himari**
Please?
**[14:23] Yu**
*For a second, I wanted that shot of Himari.*
**[14:27] Yu**
*But I could never admit that...*
**[14:29] Yu**
*Or that I wanted her for myself.*
**[14:32] Yu**
* That's not how you feel about*
* a best friend. It's something else.*
**[14:36] Yu**
* This choker represents our*
* relationship from two years ago.*
**[14:40] Yu**
* Back when I swore*
* to keep this friend for life.*
**[14:44] Yu**
*It's all preserved in there.*
**[14:46] Yu**
*That's the most important thing in my life.*
**[14:49] Yu**
*It's a lifelong promise.*
**[14:53] Yu**
I can't do that.
**[14:54] Yu**
You're my best friend.
**[14:59] Himari**
I figured!
**[15:04] Himari**
*I just got dumped.*
**[15:07] Himari**
*I knew it in my head.*
**[15:10] Himari**
*Of course I did. I'm your best friend.*
**[15:13] Himari**
*I was just joking.*
**[15:15] Himari**
*Why couldn't you joke back like usual?*
**[15:17] Himari**
*"You'd look terrible in it,"*
**[15:19] Himari**
*like the friends we are.*
**[15:22] Himari**
*You've never crossed that line.*
**[15:26] Himari**
* Even though you've been more than*
* a friend to me for a long time.*
**[15:30] Himari**
*I saw Yu's look of love.*
**[15:35] Himari**
*I wish it were directed at me.*
**[15:37] Himari**
*Those fiery eyes of passion.*
**[15:41] Himari**
*I wish they were for me.*
**[15:44] Himari**
*But the friendship we built gets in the way.*
**[15:48] Himari**
*I needed to throw that away if I wanted you.*
**[15:51] Himari**
*But I kept using it to run from my feelings.*
**[15:55] Himari**
*And now I've lost.*
**[15:57] Himari**
*So if anything, I have to play that role.*
**[15:59] Himari**
*That way, I won't lose anything else.*
**[16:02] Himari**
*To continue being Yu's friend,*
**[16:03] Himari**
*I have to stuff it down, just a little bit.*
**[16:11] Himari**
Ehem, if I could have everyone's attention!
**[16:12] Himari**
We're kicking off the new
accessories reveal party!
**[16:15] Himari**
Cheers!
**[16:16] All**
Cheers!
**[16:19] Makishima**
Natsu, isn't this place expensive?
**[16:21] Himari**
Makishima-kun, you didn't have to
come if you didn't want to.
**[16:25] Himari**
I only invited you because Yu insisted.
**[16:28] Makishima**
It's not fair to bring Yu into this!
**[16:31] Makishima**
That's why I don't like you.
**[16:33] Yu**
Can you two be civil? We're at dinner.
**[16:36] Himari**
Don't eat if you don't want to!
**[16:37] Rion**
I've only been here for birthdays.
**[16:38] Makishima**
That's not what I meant!
**[16:42] Makishima**
So? What's this reveal about?
**[16:44] Yu**
Oh, right.
**[16:54] Yu**
I made a hair pin
with a tulip in full bloom.
**[16:59] Makishima**
Wow, this is incredible.
**[17:01] Makishima**
Don't you think, Rin-chan?
**[17:04] Rion**
It's beautiful!
**[17:11] Himari**
Totally!
**[17:11] Yu**
Hey! Watch out!
**[17:13] Himari**
My bad, I'm getting too excited!
**[17:16] Himari**
Seriously, it's Yu's best piece yet!
**[17:20] Himari**
I'm sure it'll hit record sales, too!
**[17:22] Yu**
Th-Thanks...
**[17:24] Himari**
I've thought of a good tagline, too.
**[17:27] Himari**
"Red flower of fate that
brings soulmates together."
**[17:29] Himari**
It's perfect for you two!
**[17:31] Yu**
Himari, that's not what this is abou—
**[17:34] Makishima**
Hey, Natsu!
**[17:35] Makishima**
You should put it in Rin-chan's hair!
**[17:38] Yu**
What?
**[17:42] Rion**
I wouldn't mind that.
**[17:45] Himari/Makishima**
Do it! Do it!
**[17:52] Yu**
*Why am I... feeling so nervous?*
**[18:12] Yu**
How's that?
**[18:14] Rion**
Th-Thanks.
**[18:19] Himari**
It's starting to get hot in here!
**[18:23] Makishima**
Maybe that was better to do in private.
**[18:26] Yu**
Stop joking around!
**[18:28] Makishima**
By the way, Natsu.
**[18:30] Makishima**
What do you plan to do now?
**[18:33] Yu**
Do now?
**[18:34] Makishima**
Let me be clear.
**[18:35] Makishima**
Make Rin-chan your main model!
**[18:39] Makishima**
Judging from the quality
of this shoot and product,
**[18:43] Makishima**
I can tell you two are a great match.
**[18:46] Makishima**
I don't think it's a bad idea.
**[18:48] Yu**
Sure, Enomoto-san's pretty,
**[18:50] Yu**
and it'd be a big help, but...
**[18:52] Rion**
I'd be happy to do it!
**[18:55] Yu**
For real?
**[18:57] Yu**
Then there's no reason for me to declin—
**[19:00] Himari**
You can't do that!
**[19:05] Himari**
I-I mean, that's a great
idea, Makishima-kun!
**[19:09] Himari**
But I dunno if it'll be good for Enocchi.
**[19:12] Himari**
People post mean stuff about models online.
**[19:16] Makishima**
You know that Rin-chan isn't the type
to get upset over stuff like that.
**[19:20] Makishima**
I'd say it's you she's threatening.
**[19:24] Himari**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[19:25] Makishima**
Take a guess.
**[19:27] Yu**
C-Can you two calm down?
**[19:29] Himari**
Shut up, Yu!
**[19:29] Makishima**
Shut up, Natsu!
**[19:35] Himari**
It takes a lot of work, too!
**[19:36] Himari**
Like the school bazaar and writing reports.
**[19:39] Himari**
It's like a job!
**[19:41] Makishima**
My suggestion is to hire her as a model.
**[19:44] Makishima**
I'm not telling her
to join the Gardening Club.
**[19:47] Makishima**
Himari-chan.
**[19:48] Makishima**
What are you so worried for?
**[19:51] Himari**
I-I'm not worried.
**[19:53] Himari**
I just want the best for Enocchi.
**[19:55] Himari**
Right, Yu?
**[20:00] Yu**
Umm...
**[20:02] Yu**
* Still, we were the ones*
* who asked her in the first place...*
**[20:07] Yu**
I don't think it's a bad idea.
**[20:09] Himari**
Y-Yu, are you serious?
**[20:12] Yu**
I dunno about serious.
**[20:14] Yu**
You were the one who said
I need new inspiration. Remember?
**[20:18] Himari**
S-Sure, but...
**[20:21] Yu**
You know, you've been acting strange lately.
**[20:23] Yu**
You're hyper-focused on romance.
**[20:26] Yu**
But you said yourself
that you don't get that stuff.
**[20:28] Yu**
No need for you to force it.
**[20:33] Yu**
Besides...
**[20:34] (Flashback) Himari**
Why not do that with me?
**[20:36] Yu**
When you do stuff like that,
it's kind of a drag.
**[20:42] Yu**
* I can only take so much*
* before falling for you.*
**[20:46] Yu**
* It's easier with Enomoto-san*
* there to stop Himari.*
**[20:51] Yu**
I feel bad, Himari,
but I can't take your side on this.
**[20:58] Himari**
Cool down, cool down, cool down...
**[21:02] Himari**
It's fine, Himari. You got this.
**[21:04] Yu**
H-Himari? What's wrong?
**[21:06] Himari**
Nothing, I'm just getting my drink.
**[21:09] Yu**
You gave me your last one at school.
**[21:16] Himari**
Sorry! I can't seem to cool down!
**[21:39] Himari**
Let's break things off.
**[21:41] Himari**
Split up.
**[21:43] Yu**
Split up?
**[21:48] Himari**
Yu, I never... ever...
**[21:54] Himari**
want to talk to you again!

If only there were someone to share it with.
**[02:37] Yu**
So? What's bothering you?
**[02:40] Yu**
*She's actually planning to ignore me!*
**[02:43] Yu**
Fine then.
**[02:44] Yu**
I guess we're not opening
a store together after all.
**[02:54] Girl A**
Did you hear that?
**[02:56] Girl A**
What a dick move.

*Himari forwarded me an email?*
**[03:15] Yu**
*"Thank you for joining our agency.*
**[03:18] Yu**
* In preparation for your transfer*
* to Tokyo by the end of May,*
**[03:22] Yu**
*we would like to visit your parents..."*
**[03:24] Yu**
No way!
**[03:25] Yu**
You're joining a talent agency?
**[03:29] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[03:31] Yu**
*Wha?!*
**[03:32] Yu**
*She got me!*
**[03:34] Yu**
Hold up, Himari!
**[03:39] Yu**
Dammit, she got away.
**[03:42] Rion**
Yu-kun!
**[03:44] Rion**
Hii-chan sent me this a second ago.
**[03:47] Himari**
*I'm going to Tokyo, so have fun with Yu!*
**[03:50] Yu**
Seriously?
**[03:51] Rion**
I'm sorry, Yu-kun.
**[03:53] Rion**
This all happened because I wanted to model.
**[03:56] Yu**
No, it's not your fault at all.
**[03:59] Yu**
We just need to find her and talk it out.
**[04:02] Rion**
Here, I have just the thing.
**[04:04] Yu**
Nice, homemade cookies!
**[04:06] Yu**
That reminds me, I have her favorite drink.
**[04:12] Rion**
I hope Hii-chan comes...
**[04:14] Yu**
No way she can resist your awesome cookies.
**[04:18] Yu**
I guarantee it'll work!
**[04:19] Himari**
You two!
**[04:21] Himari**
Don't think you can lure me
with sweets that easily!
**[04:26] Himari**
I can see you hiding!
**[04:28] Yu**
Hey!
**[04:28] Himari**
Bam! Gotcha!
**[04:30] Yu**
See, I knew you'd show up!
**[04:34] Yu**
*What an idiot.*
**[04:37] Yu**
Himari! Just hear me out.
**[04:39] Himari**
Sh-Shut up!
**[04:40] Himari**
I have nothing to talk to you about!
**[04:42] Yu**
Liar! You've basically
been begging for attention!
**[04:45] Himari**
No, I haven't!
**[04:48] Yu**
Himari!
**[04:50] Rion**
Yu-kun!
**[04:51] Yu**
Wait up! Himari!
**[04:52] Himari**
I said leave me alone!
**[04:59] Yu**
What are you so upset about?
**[05:01] Yu**
You're that mad about Enomoto-san modeling?
**[05:04] Himari**
It's not about Enocchi!
**[05:06] Himari**
*You're* the one who's pissing me off!
**[05:08] Yu**
What? You can't be serious!
***SIGN*** Science Room
**[05:11] Yu**
How's it fair that I get juice poured on me?
**[05:14] Yu**
Or that the entire class thinks I'm a dick?
**[05:16] Yu**
Or that I get slapped out of nowhere?
**[05:18] Yu**
Now you're going to Tokyo?
**[05:20] Yu**
You could've at least talked to me about it.
**[05:24] Yu**
Shows how little I mattered to you.
**[05:26] Yu**
Was I just some toy for you to tease
and play with all this time?
**[05:31] Yu**
Don't just stand there! Say something!
**[05:34] Himari**
Stop!
**[05:35] Yu**
Calm down!
**[05:36] Himari**
I *am* calm!
**[05:38] Himari**
Just let me go!
**[05:40] Yu**
Listen to what I'm saying!
**[05:47] Yu**
Sorry!
**[05:49] Himari**
Move!
**[05:52] Himari**
No way... It can't be...
**[05:58] Yu**
Whatever.
**[06:00] Yu**
I was just someone you could boss around.
**[06:04] Yu**
Someone that made you accessories. Right?
**[06:12] Himari**
I could say the same about you.
**[06:15] Himari**
You only think of me as a convenient helper.
**[06:20] Yu**
What? I don't think—
**[06:22] Himari**
You don't?
**[06:23] Himari**
Then why would you make
Enocchi your main model?
**[06:27] Himari**
Why would you give someone else
the right to wear your accessories first?
**[06:32] Himari**
You promised that role would be mine.
**[06:37] Himari**
You like Enocchi, don't you?
**[06:39] Himari**
That's why you're making
her your number one.
**[06:42] Himari**
I get it. I know what love is.
**[06:47] Himari**
I found out what it means.
**[06:49] Himari**
I want to be happy for you two.
**[06:53] Himari**
But... But...
**[06:57] Himari**
There's no way I can be
happy as your second choice!
**[07:02] Himari**
I'm going where there's
people who actually need me.
**[07:14] Makishima**
What are you doing out here?
**[07:18] Yu**
Can you leave me alone?
**[07:20] Makishima**
I'm afraid not, buddy!
**[07:22] Makishima**
Rin-chan asked me to come check on you.
**[07:25] Yu**
Why did you ask me to make
Enomoto-san the main model?
**[07:29] Makishima**
'Cause that seemed like the only
way she would stand a chance.
**[07:33] Yu**
I can see why you'd root for her,
but that has nothing to do with modeling.
**[07:38] Makishima**
You really believe that?
**[07:43] Makishima**
The tricky thing about romance isn't
getting together, it's staying together.
**[07:47] Makishima**
What's the point if it'll fall apart?
**[07:49] Yu**
That's especially
convincing coming from you.
**[07:53] Makishima**
What a shame if you and Rin-chan
begin dating, only for you to
**[07:55] Makishima**
parade around with Himari-chan
and make her the third wheel.
**[08:00] Yu**
But Himari and I are best friends...
**[08:05] Makishima**
Then what's with all the agony?
**[08:10] Makishima**
"Like" and "love" aren't all that different.
**[08:13] Makishima**
Kind of like your new
feelings towards Himari-chan.
**[08:19] Makishima**
Otherwise, you'd have no reason
to avoid dating Rin-chan.
**[08:23] Makishima**
What's tripping you up is your guilt
from being attracted to Himari-chan.
**[08:28] Makishima**
It's time you put aside "romance"
or "friendship" or any of that.
**[08:33] Makishima**
What actually matters is that you
decide who's most important to you.
**[08:38] Makishima**
I'll admit, the whole
modeling thing with Rin-chan
**[08:41] Makishima**
was meant to tear you and Himari-chan apart.
**[08:45] Makishima**
But...
**[08:46] Makishima**
Himari-chan's decision to go
to Tokyo shows that
**[08:49] Makishima**
she could only move on from
you by leaving everything behind.
**[08:54] Makishima**
Who would've known she
had such strong feelings?
**[09:00] Makishima**
If Himari-chan actually leaves this way,
Rin-chan would blame herself.
**[09:05] Makishima**
I don't want my childhood friend
to go through that.
**[09:08] Makishima**
I'm not typically one to be so loyal.
**[09:14] Yu**
You're actually a pretty nice person.
**[09:17] Makishima**
What?
**[09:19] Makishima**
N-No, I'm not!
**[09:21] Makishima**
Stop joking around.
**[09:26] Makishima**
You could forget Himari-chan and
just get with Rin-chan, you know.
**[09:31] Makishima**
Whatever, do what you want.
**[09:33] Makishima**
Let me remind you that Rin-chan would
make the best girlfriend you could find.
**[09:39] Yu**
See, you're too nice.
**[09:43] Yu**
* You knew that if you put it like that,*
* I'd stop Himari from leaving.*
**[10:00] Yu**
*Are you seriously going to Tokyo?*
**[10:02] Himari**
*Yup.*
**[10:04] Yu**
*Why?*
**[10:05] Himari**
*So I can see my own worth.*
**[10:07] Yu**
*See your worth...*
**[10:09] Yu**
*Still as philosophical as ever, I see.*
**[10:13] Himari**
*I doubt you'd understand.*
**[10:16] Yu**
*Of course I do.*
**[10:18] Yu**
*I've made accessories alone all these years.*
**[10:22] Yu**
*No one understood me. Or even cared.*
**[10:27] Yu**
*I wasn't needed by anyone.*
**[10:30] Yu**
* But thanks to Himari,*
* my accessory-making career survived.*
**[10:33] Yu**
*And they spread to others in the world.*
**[10:35] Yu**
* So I promised to keep*
* making them for Himari.*
**[10:40] Yu**
* If I turned my back on that promise,*
* it's only natural she leaves.*
**[10:44] Yu**
*Can we scratch going to Tokyo?*
**[10:47] Himari**
*Nope.*
**[10:48] Yu**
* I'll bow down and apologize*
* about the modeling thing.*
**[10:54] Yu**
*I know how stubborn Himari is.*
**[10:56] Yu**
* She'll probably go to Tokyo*
* and become popular.*
**[11:00] Yu**
*Whether I'm with her or not.*
**[11:05] Yu**
*I guess it can't be helped.*
**[11:07] Yu**
*It can't be helped.*
**[11:09] Yu**
*Life doesn't always go your way.*
**[11:12] Yu**
*And when it doesn't...*
**[11:14] Yu**
*It's up to me to make my dream come true.*
**[11:19] Himari**
*Bwa-ha!*
**[11:20] Himari**
*Yu's such an idiot!*
**[11:22] Himari**
*Like I'd ever go to Tokyo.*
**[11:24] Himari**
*I'm not so desperate that I need to*
**[11:27] Himari**
* satisfy my needs through*
* a bunch of strangers!*
**[11:31] Himari**
*Well, my fake crying must have worked.*
**[11:36] Himari**
*Yup, it was totally fake crying.*
**[11:38] Himari**
*Why would I cry for real?*
**[11:40] Himari**
*Yu's accessory broke, that's all.*
**[11:54] Himari**
*Stop moping around!*
**[11:55] Himari**
*You can get him to make you a new one!*
**[12:00] Himari**
*I'll have him going, "Please, Himari-sama!"*
**[12:02] Himari**
*And make him do whatever I want!*
**[12:05] Himari**
* First, a monthly event called*
* "Thank you Himari-sama Day."*
**[12:09] Himari**
*Second, he'll make me flower accessories!*
**[12:12] Himari**
*And third, a kissing practice system.*
**[12:15] Himari**
*Next time I ask for a practice kiss,*
**[12:17] Himari**
*he can't refuse, no matter what!*
**[12:19] Himari**
* I feel like I'm getting*
* off-topic, but oh well!*
**[12:22] Himari**
* Tomorrow, Yu will bow down*
* and apologize to me.*
**[12:34] Himari**
*Um?*
**[12:38] Himari**
*Hello?*
**[12:41] Himari**
*Why isn't he initiating?*
**[12:42] Himari**
* Does he need time to cry*
* his eyes out from losing me?*
**[12:47] Himari**
*Fine. Since you're cute,*
**[12:49] Himari**
*I forgive you!*
**[12:52] Yu**
Hello, Sensei?
**[12:56] Himari**
*If I were to guess...*
**[12:58] Himari**
*Yu will come crying to me over the weekend!*
**[13:01] Himari**
*I know it!*
**[13:07] Himari**
*Okay, I get it.*
**[13:09] Himari**
* He must've been really upset*
* about the Tokyo thing.*
**[13:13] Himari**
*Fine! Forgiven!*
**[13:15] Himari**
*U-Um...*
**[13:17] Himari**
* Maybe I'll peek*
* at his socials, just in case.*
**[13:20] Himari**
*Huh?*
**[13:22] Himari**
*That's Yu's hand.*
**[13:28] Himari**
* It's like I actually*
* don't belong here anymore.*
**[13:32] Himari**
*The new product launched already, too.*
**[13:35] Himari**
*What if I really went to Tokyo?*
**[13:38] (Flashback) Yu**
When you do stuff like that,
it's kind of a drag.
**[13:45] Himari**
*Wake up, Himari!*
**[13:46] Himari**
*You've already been dumped, remember?*
**[13:48] Himari**
*There's no way he'd ask you to stay!*
**[13:55] Hibari**
Hey, Himari. Home already?
**[13:58] Himari**
Yup! Gotta study for exams!
**[14:01] Hibari**
Wow, you're working hard.
**[14:04] Hibari**
There's some curry on the
stove if you want some.
**[14:06] Himari**
Okay!
**[14:09] Hibari**
Himari?
**[14:10] Himari**
Hmm?
**[14:11] Hibari**
I see you haven't spoken
to Yu-kun in over a week.
**[14:16] Hibari**
Wanna fill me in?
**[14:20] Hibari**
You're wondering how I know.
**[14:22] Hibari**
It's very simple.
**[14:24] Hibari**
I can sense your "Yu-kun aura"
is rapidly declining.
**[14:29] Hibari**
So?
**[14:30] Hibari**
What happened?
**[14:33] Hibari**
You unbelievable dimwit!
**[14:36] Hibari**
You got dumped so you
threatened to move to Tokyo?
**[14:37] Hibari**
And now you're planning
on ordering him around?
**[14:40] Hibari**
That's called emotional blackmail!
**[14:42] Hibari**
You should be ashamed to be
a member of the Inuzuka family!
**[14:44] Himari**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!
**[14:47] Hibari**
Himari, we have a deal, remember?
**[14:50] Hibari**
During that bazaar in middle school,
you begged me for a lifetime favor.
**[14:55] Hibari**
So to sell out 200 accessories,
I asked Enomoto to advertise them...
**[15:00] Hibari**
You made me beg Enomoto for help!
**[15:04] Hibari**
She forced me to bow down to her,
lick her heels, and sing in front of her!
**[15:09] Hibari**
I haven't even endured that
kind of humiliation at my job!
**[15:13] Himari**
I-I get that you despise
Enocchi's big sister to death.
**[15:18] Hibari**
But I decided to help! Why?
**[15:20] Hibari**
Because his work spoke to me!
**[15:23] Hibari**
You remember our deal, right?
**[15:26] Himari**
To never quit supporting Yu's
dream to open his own store.
**[15:30] Hibari**
Right you are!
**[15:32] Hibari**
Don't tell me that all this time...
**[15:34] Hibari**
You were only in it for fun and were
planning to abandon it when you got bored?
**[15:38] Himari**
No, I swear! It's not like that!
**[15:41] Hibari**
Then what's this disaster about?
**[15:43] Himari**
'C-Cause... I ended up falling for Yu!
**[15:49] Himari**
Onii-chan, you don't get it at all!
**[15:51] Himari**
What about *my* feelings?
**[15:53] Himari**
I'm supposed to sacrifice myself?
**[15:57] Hibari**
That's right.
**[15:59] Hibari**
What's most important to you?
**[16:02] Hibari**
Is it romance? Or is it
having Yu-kun for yourself?
**[16:08] Himari**
Aren't they the same?
**[16:10] Hibari**
Everything in life is finite.
**[16:12] Hibari**
You could have all the money in the world,
**[16:14] Hibari**
but that won't get you everything you want.
**[16:20] Hibari**
As a civil servant,
I worked on building highways.
**[16:23] Hibari**
That meant demolishing people's
homes and taking their land.
**[16:28] Hibari**
I've been met with more
criticism than gratitude.
**[16:31] Hibari**
But...
**[16:32] Hibari**
It was necessary for this town
to survive the next 100 years.
**[16:36] Hibari**
I'm doing work that will serve a purpose,
even after I die one day.
**[16:43] Hibari**
That's the kind of life I want for you, too.
**[16:46] Hibari**
Throw out the small stuff.
**[16:48] Hibari**
Work to grasp that one thing
that's important to you.
**[16:50] Hibari**
If you do that, you've won in life.
**[16:56] Himari**
* I couldn't fully understand*
* Onii-chan's point.*
**[17:01] Himari**
*But I can't throw it all away now.*
**[17:05] Himari**
*Not until I understand it but can't accept it.*
**[17:11] Himari**
*Yu, can we talk?*
**[17:14] Himari**
*It's important.*
**[17:15] Yu**
*I have something to tell you, too.*
**[17:17] Yu**
*Meet me in the science room.*
**[17:20] Himari**
It's not like a super big deal.
**[17:23] Himari**
About that agency, it's well... um...
**[17:28] Himari**
*Ugh! I can't figure out what I wanna say!*
**[17:31] Himari**
A-Actually, could you go first?
**[17:34] Himari**
I'll talk after you!
**[17:35] Yu**
Oh, okay.
**[17:37] Yu**
There's something I wanted to give you.
***SIGN*** Notice of Withdrawal

**[17:46] Himari**
W-Withdrawal?!
**[17:47] Yu**
Oh shit! Wrong one!
**[17:49] Yu**
Sorry, that's not it! I messed up!
**[17:51] Himari**
Hang on! Forget the mistake!
**[17:54] Himari**
What's that notice for?
**[17:57] Yu**
I'm thinking of quitting school.
**[18:01] Yu**
I'll go to Tokyo. I'm coming with you.
**[18:04] Himari**
Huh? W-With me?
**[18:07] Yu**
Makishima told me to decide
what's most important to me.
**[18:13] Yu**
And I decided it's you.
**[18:16] Yu**
I'd need to figure out how
to make a living but...
**[18:21] Himari**
Y-You mean... Wait.
**[18:24] Himari**
You make it sound easy,
but if you start working,
**[18:28] Himari**
you won't have as much time
to make accessories.
**[18:31] Yu**
No flower accessory
is good enough without you!
**[18:37] Yu**
But Himari, am I worth being
with if I can't make accessories?
**[18:43] Himari**
*Sure you are.*
**[18:44] Himari**
*You're plenty!*
**[18:46] Himari**
*I love watching videos together.*
**[18:50] Himari**
* I love fighting over onion rings*

* on the train somewhere.*
**[18:57] Himari**
*I love every minute I get to laugh with you!*
**[19:03] Yu**
Hey! What's that for?
**[19:05] Himari**
Don't worry. I'm not going.
**[19:07] Yu**
What? But you said you
want to feel needed by fans!
**[19:15] Yu**
Y-You okay?
**[19:17] Himari**
I did not say that!
**[19:18] Himari**
And you're way too close!
**[19:20] Himari**
* Having your face so close makes me*
* want to go in for a kiss!*
**[19:24] Himari**
* But I can't have my first*
* kiss be all sticky with juice!*
**[19:29] Himari**
You and I can go back to normal.
**[19:31] Himari**
And I don't mind Enocchi modeling.
**[19:33] Himari**
But could you keep me
as the... main model?
**[19:38] Yu**
Sure.
**[19:39] Himari**
So what did you wanna give me?
**[19:43] Himari**
Wow...
**[19:44] Himari**
Is this *Anemone flaccida*? It's so small.
**[19:48] Yu**
I made it with a preserved *Anemone flaccida*.
**[19:51] Yu**
A mini version.
**[19:53] Yu**
A totally unique best
friend ring just for you.
**[19:58] Yu**
I realized that you're my best friend.
**[20:02] Yu**
I might make you mad again...
**[20:05] Yu**
But it's not like other people
are more important than you.
**[20:09] Yu**
I promise, that's the truth.
**[20:13] Himari**
Yu, turn around for a sec.
**[20:16] Yu**
Why?
**[20:16] Himari**
Just do it!
**[20:18] Himari**
Woot!
**[20:19] Yu**
Hey! What are you doing?
**[20:22] Himari**
Put it on for me?
**[20:24] Yu**
Do it yourself.
**[20:26] Himari**
No! I want you to do it!
**[20:31] Himari**
Boo! Loser!
**[20:32] Yu**
I told you, it's a best friend ring.
**[20:35] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[20:36] Himari**
Hey, what's this tiny thing?
**[20:38] Yu**
It's an... *Anemone flaccida* seed.
**[20:41] Himari**
Cool!
**[20:42] Yu**
H-Hey.
**[20:44] Himari**
You should just pick me.
**[20:47] Himari**
If we're still alone at thirty, pick me.
**[20:53] Yu**
Maybe, if I'm single then.
**[20:58] Himari**
*In the end, things are still the same.*
**[21:01] Himari**
*But oh well.*
**[21:02] Himari**
* If that's what Yu wants,*
* I can stay best friends.*
**[21:06] Himari**
*I'll keep my feelings hidden in this ring.*

**[00:30] (Flashback) Himari**
Yu! Let's eat lunch!
**[00:33] (Flashback) Himari**
What're you in a hurry for?
**[00:37] (Flashback) Himari**
Lemme guess, you couldn't wait to see me?
**[00:41] (Flashback) Himari**
You like me way too much!

**[02:17] Yu**
H-Hey, so...
**[02:19] Yu**
I was thinking of eating by myself tod—
**[02:24] Himari**
Drink up!
**[02:27] Yu**
*Pressuring me in silence.*
**[02:29] Yu**
*"The world's cutest girl came to find you."*
**[02:31] Yu**
*"Stop moping around and let's get going."*
**[02:33] Yu**
*Something like that.*
**[02:35] Yu**
*I'll admit, she is cute.*
**[02:36] (Flashback) Classmate**
Yo, Himari!
**[02:38] (Flashback) Classmate**
Let's eat together for a change.
**[02:40] (Flashback) Classmate**
Wait, you're still hanging out with him?
**[02:43] (Flashback) Classmate**
Don't you get tired of that loser?
**[02:46] (Flashback) Himari**
You'd be surprised!
**[02:47] (Flashback) Himari**
Yu's actually super smooth!
**[02:49] (Flashback) Yu**
*Yeah,* right*.*
**[02:50] Male Classmate**
We're going to karaoke after school.
**[02:52] (Flashback) Male Classmate**
You should come.
**[02:54] (Flashback) Himari**
As much as I'd love to belt it out, I dunno.
**[02:59] (Flashback) Himari**
You *did* send me those messages yesterday.
**[03:02] Female Classmate**
Excuse me? What messages?
**[03:02] Male Classmate**
I can explain!
**[03:03] (Flashback) Himari**
Let's go, Yu!
**[03:04] (Flashback) Yu**
H-Hey, Himari!
**[03:08] (Flashback) Himari**
So... I've been meaning to ask you.
**[03:12] (Flashback) Himari**
You've been avoiding me lately, haven't you?
**[03:17] (Flashback) Yu**
I-I dunno what you're talking about.
**[03:20] Himari**
Come on, spill.
**[03:20] (Flashback) Yu**
F-Fine. You win!
**[03:23] (Flashback) Himari**
What is it? Did I do something?
**[03:25] (Flashback) Yu**
You haven't done anything!
**[03:27] (Flashback) Himari**
Then why?
**[03:29] (Flashback) Yu**
U-Um...
**[03:32] (Flashback) Yu**
Himari-san, there's this
thing called "class."
**[03:36] (Flashback) Himari**
What do you mean?
**[03:37] (Flashback) Yu**
You know, um...
**[03:40] (Flashback) Himari**
You're too nice, Yu.
**[03:43] (Flashback) Himari**
Don't pay attention to those guys.
**[03:44] (Flashback) Himari**
You don't even know them.
**[03:47] (Flashback) Yu**
You knew the other guys were bad-mouthing me?
**[03:51] (Flashback) Himari**
They bug me about it, too.
**[03:54] (Flashback) Himari**
Did they tell you to
stop hanging out with me?
**[03:56] (Flashback) Yu**
They say you're out of my league.
**[04:00] (Flashback) Himari**
And why would you care what they think?
**[04:03] (Flashback) Yu**
Well I can't just ignore it.
**[04:06] (Flashback) Yu**
Besides, you have your friends...
**[04:08] (Flashback) Yu**
in the popular crowd.
**[04:11] (Flashback) Yu**
I don't want to hold you back.
**[04:13] (Flashback) Himari**
Here, look. It's from that guy back there.
***SIGN*** Himari, will you go out with me?
***SIGN*** I like you a lot.
**[04:17] (Flashback) Himari**
He's been at it for a month now.
***SIGN*** Seriously.
***SIGN*** I'll break up with my girlfriend.
**[04:21] (Flashback) Himari**
And this is from his girlfriend.
**[04:23] (Flashback) Himari**
She thinks I've been trying
to steal him from her.
**[04:27] (Flashback) Yu**
Jeez...
**[04:28] (Flashback) Himari**
Dating's no joke.
**[04:31] (Flashback) Himari**
I'm tired of getting dragged
into it, you know?
**[04:35] (Flashback) Himari**
That was a good lunch.
**[04:37] (Flashback) Himari**
Anyways, my point is...
**[04:40] (Flashback) Himari**
You may think the popular crowd's
**[04:42] (Flashback) Himari**
friendship and romance
is this grand, beautiful thing.
**[04:47] (Flashback) Himari**
But "beautiful" doesn't always mean "pure."
**[04:51] (Flashback) Himari**
I'd rather have things
be pure, not beautiful.
**[04:56] (Flashback) Himari**
That's why I like how genuine
your eyes get when you work.
**[05:01] (Flashback) Himari**
Your passion isn't beneath me at all.
**[05:06] (Flashback) Himari**
So promise me, you'll be
my best friend forever.
**[05:08] (Flashback) Himari**
And that you'll never fall for me.
**[05:14] (Flashback) Yu**
Well, duh.
**[05:15] (Flashback) Yu**
I'm your...
**[05:17] (Flashback) Yu**
b-best friend, after all.
**[05:24] (Flashback) Himari**
Gotcha.
**[05:28] Yu**
*I'm your... b-best friend, after all.*
**[05:30] Yu**
Himari!
**[05:31] (Flashback) Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[05:33] (Flashback) Yu**
You suck! Delete that!
**[05:36] (Flashback) Himari**
I don't think so!
**[05:37] (Flashback) Yu**
Get back here!
**[05:44] (Flashback) Himari**
How about this?
**[05:46] (Flashback) Himari**
From now on, when guys come on to me,
**[05:48] (Flashback) Himari**
I'll tell them that we're dating.
**[05:50] (Flashback) Yu**
Don't drag me into
the popular crowd's feuds.
**[05:53] (Flashback) Yu**
I don't need any more crap from those guys.
**[05:55] (Flashback) Yu**
Besides, what if they believe you?
**[05:59] (Flashback) Himari**
Then wanna actually go out?
**[06:02] (Flashback) Yu**
No way.
**[06:04] (Flashback) Yu**
The last thing I'd want
is to go out with you.
**[06:06] (Flashback) Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[06:07] (Flashback) Himari**
See, you know me too well.
**[06:10] (Flashback) Yu**
Cool, thanks.
**[06:12] (Flashback) Himari**
We should go back like this.
**[06:15] (Flashback) Himari**
Come on, let's go!
**[06:16] (Flashback) Yu**
W-Wait!
**[06:17] Yu**
*Two years later, spring of junior year...*
**[06:18] (Flashback) Yu**
Himari, your lunch!
**[06:20] (Flashback) Himari**
Whoops, my bad!
**[06:20] Yu**
*I ended up falling for Himari.*
**[06:29] Yu**
* Apparently, Himari's not*
* going to Tokyo anymore.*
**[06:32] Yu**
* And I totally missed my chance*
* to tell her how I feel.*
**[06:37] Yu**
*I just need to play it cool.*
**[06:39] Himari**
Hey, Yu! Morning!
**[06:46] Yu**
'Sup, Himari? Morning.
**[06:49] Himari**
Ew, what's with the creepy smile?
**[06:51] Himari**
You have a stomach ache or something?
**[06:53] Yu**
Don't be a hater.
**[06:54] Yu**
That was a hunky smile.
**[06:57] Himari**
I dunno about hunky.
**[06:58] Himari**
Kinda looked like you had an upset stomach.
**[07:01] Yu**
Whatever.
**[07:06] Yu**
Where's your ring?
**[07:09] Himari**
Oh, that? Right here.
**[07:11] Himari**
I figured wearing a ring
to school might be a bit much.
**[07:15] Yu**
Yeah, true.
**[07:16] Yu**
Hey, want me to replace that belt?
**[07:19] Himari**
Nope, I like this one.
**[07:22] Himari**
It's the first piece you ever gave me.
**[07:24] Yu**
C-Cool.
**[07:28] Yu**
*I was this close to saying,*
**[07:29] Yu**
*"You're so cute I could die, and I love you."*
**[07:32] Yu**
* Good thing her cheesy*
* line snapped me out of it.*
**[07:37] Yu**
*Either way, thank goodness...*
**[07:38] Yu**
* I figured she slept on it and decided*
* she didn't want the ring anymore.*
**[07:42] Himari**
Don't tell me you were afraid I slept on it
**[07:44] Himari**
and decided I didn't want the ring anymore?
**[07:46] Yu**
*Yikes!*
**[07:48] Himari**
Yu, you just can't get enough of me!
**[07:50] Himari**
If you like me so much,
wanna actually go out?
**[07:53] Yu**
*Screw you! Don't underestimate me.*
**[07:56] Yu**
*I was prepared to quit school, you know.*
**[07:58] Yu**
Hey, Himari.
**[08:02] Yu**
I realized that you're the only one for me.
**[08:06] Yu**
If you're really up for it,
would you go out with me?
**[08:09] Yu**
*Perfect, now for the finisher...*
**[08:12] Yu**
Just kidding!
**[08:14] Yu**
I got you, didn't I?
**[08:19] Himari**
Whatever.
**[08:21] Yu**
I'm sorry, I got too cocky.
**[08:24] Himari**
You think you can trick me
with a phony spiel like that?
**[08:30] Himari**
Oh yeah.
**[08:31] Himari**
Go on, I'll catch up with you.
**[08:46] Himari**
That was a close call!
**[08:48] Himari**
Jeez, Yu. He almost got me.
**[08:51] Himari**
* For a split second,*
* I thought he was for real.*
**[08:53] Himari**
* I missed the chance to tell him*
* that people know he's the creator of You.*
**[08:56] Himari**
*Or about Enocchi...*
***SIGN*** Hii-chan, I'm never speaking to you again.
**[09:01] Teacher**
There you are.
**[09:03] Teacher**
Natsume, stop by the teacher's office.
**[09:07] Himari**
You turned in your midterm
exams completely blank?!
**[09:09] Yu**
Keep your voice down!
**[09:12] Yu**
Not totally blank. I think
I answered a couple questions.
**[09:16] Yu**
But I was so tired, I fell asleep.
**[09:20] Himari**
What happened?
**[09:22] Yu**
I was so focused on making that piece.
**[09:25] Himari**
Oh... that's why?
**[09:27] Yu**
They're letting me retake
the exam this Sunday.
**[09:30] Yu**
If I pass every subject,
they'll let me off the hook.
**[09:37] Himari**
We still have some time until Sunday.
**[09:40] Himari**
It's okay, I'll help you study after school.
**[09:42] Yu**
Thanks.
**[09:45] Himari**
By the way, this may not be
the best time but...
**[09:48] Yu**
What's up?
**[09:49] Himari**
People found out that you're behind You.
**[09:52] Yu**
Is that bad?
**[09:54] Yu**
It's not like I was
hiding my face on social media.
**[09:56] Himari**
Shouldn't you be more worried?
**[09:58] Yu**
Why? I don't see any issue with it.
**[10:01] Himari**
I do!
**[10:02] Himari**
If people find out you
make those cute accessories,
**[10:05] Himari**
you'll have a flock of girls around you!
**[10:08] Yu**
What are you talking about?
**[10:10] Himari**
What if what happened
with Enocchi happens again?
**[10:14] Himari**
Girls could come up to you and ask to model,
**[10:16] Himari**
and you'll go along with it like last time.
**[10:19] Yu**
Could you not bring that up again?
**[10:24] Yu**
Listen, Himari.
**[10:27] Yu**
I'll say it again.
**[10:30] Himari**
Yeah, what?
**[10:31] Yu**
This ring belongs to you and you only.
**[10:35] Yu**
As long as you keep this,
you're my number one model.
**[10:43] Himari**
A-Aww, you really can't get... get enough...
**[10:54] Yu**
Ow!
**[10:54] Yu**
Why did you smack me?!
**[10:56] Yu**
I heard something pop!
**[10:57] Himari**
You're being way too cheesy, that's why!
**[10:59] Yu**
Doesn't give you the right to slap me!
**[11:02] Himari**
I-It was your fault.
**[11:07] Yu**
'S-Sup, Enomoto-san?
**[11:09] Rion**
Taking a break.
**[11:11] Himari**
R-Right.
**[11:18] Yu**
H-How long have you been
there? I didn't notice.
**[11:21] Rion**
From when Hii-chan yelled
about girls flocking to you.
**[11:26] Rion**
Sorry to bother you.
**[11:29] Himari**
Y-Yu, did something happen with Enocchi?
**[11:32] Yu**
I could ask you the same.
She's totally avoiding you.
**[11:36] Yu**
*Actually, a lot did happen.*
**[11:40] Yu**
*While Himari and I were fighting.*
**[11:43] Yu**
*But I can't say that.*
**[11:44] Himari**
* Honestly, the leak is*
* a bigger issue than the exams.*
***SIGN*** Yu
***SIGN*** Himari
***SIGN*** Enocchi
**[11:48] Himari**
*It's pretty clear who started it.*
**[11:51] Himari**
*I'll keep Yu to myself as his best friend.*
**[11:53] Himari**
*And write my own happy ending!*
**[11:56] Himari**
*No matter what gets in the way.*
**[11:58] Makishima**
You're quicker than I expected.
**[12:01] Himari**
Why did you leak that stuff
about You, after all this time?
**[12:07] Makishima**
Is it not obvious?
**[12:09] Makishima**
It's all to help Rin-chan beat you!
**[12:13] Himari**
*No remorse. What an ass!*
**[12:15] Himari**
Too bad, but Yu's my best friend.
**[12:18] Himari**
I like Enocchi, but even if
she cuts me off, I won't give that up.
**[12:23] Makishima**
You're so desperate.
**[12:25] Makishima**
Anyone could tell how you feel about him.
**[12:32] Himari**
Hate to break it to you,
but this won't go your way.
**[12:36] Himari**
Yu chose me, and he's loyal—
**[12:38] Makishima**
Let me be very clear.
**[12:40] Makishima**
If you really wanted Natsu for yourself,
you should've taken him to Tokyo.
**[12:45] Makishima**
Natsu was prepared to leave everything
for you and you weren't.
**[12:52] Makishima**
You decided not to take him
while you had the chance.
**[12:55] Himari**
What are you talking about?
**[12:57] Makishima**
You'll see soon enough.
**[12:59] Makishima**
Sorry, but you're not even a threat to us.
**[13:08] Yu**
So how exactly do I study for a make-up exam?
**[13:12] Himari**
I dunno, but I messaged Onii-chan about it.
**[13:14] Himari**
I'm sure he'll know what to do.
**[13:17] Himari**
I can't believe you haven't
visited my place in almost a year.
**[13:21] Yu**
Yeah, since the start of freshman year.
***SIGN*** Himari Inuzuka
(My Granddaughter)
***SIGN*** Yu Natsume
(My Grandson-in-Law)
***SIGN*** Congratulations on
entering high school!
**[13:28] Yu**
That banner your grandpa made
was so embarrassing.
**[13:36] Himari**
Oh yeah. Grandpa's staying
in the hospital right now.
**[13:38] Himari**
And Mom's giddy to spend the night
with Dad while he's back in Japan.
**[13:43] Himari**
So I guess it's just us today.
**[13:46] Yu**
Take that!
**[13:46] Himari**
Ow!
**[13:46] Yu**
I'm not falling for that one.
**[13:48] Yu**
You said Hibari-san would be here.
**[13:50] Yu**
I gotta say hi.
**[13:52] Himari**
Onii-chan isn't here either.
**[13:54] Yu**
But you said he'd help me study.
**[13:56] Himari**
He sent over a big pile of
notes and some old practice books.
**[14:01] Himari**
So I'm gonna help you study
while looking them over.
**[14:04] Himari**
Onii-chan's too busy
with work to be here himself.
**[14:08] Yu**
Oh, okay.
**[14:10] Yu**
*So wait, we're seriously gonna be alone?*
**[14:16] Hibari**
Hello, Yu-kun!
**[14:18] Hibari**
Welcome back home!
**[14:23] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[14:24] Yu**
Himari!
**[14:29] Hibari**
Now, let's get to work.
**[14:32] Yu**
Hibari-san, what about work?
**[14:36] Hibari**
No worries.
**[14:37] Hibari**
I served up one of my staff
to attend today's conference.
**[14:40] Yu**
Served up?
**[14:42] Hibari**
Yu-kun.
**[14:42] Yu**
Y-Yes!
**[14:44] Hibari**
I've always been in agreement with Himari.
**[14:47] Hibari**
You shine the brightest
when making accessories.
**[14:52] Hibari**
I believe your work will make this
town known across the globe one day.
**[14:57] Yu**
W-Wow, thanks.
**[14:59] Hibari**
Which is exactly why I can't
allow anything to get in your way!
**[15:02] Hibari**
Like studying for exams, for example!
**[15:06] Yu**
S-Sure, but I'm a student.
It can't be helped.
**[15:09] Hibari**
There's a way to get out of that.
**[15:14] Hibari**
This is your chance to master everything
there is to know in high school.
**[15:18] Hibari**
That way, you'll never have to study
for an exam ever again.
**[15:21] Hibari**
In fact, I could help you
enter Japan's best institution!
**[15:27] Yu**
H-Himari!
**[15:29] Yu**
Y-You said you'd study with me!
**[15:32] Himari**
There's no stopping Onii-chan
when he gets fired up like this.
**[15:35] Himari**
Good luck, Yu!
**[15:38] Hibari**
Let's study with your brother-in-law.
**[15:41] Yu**
Th-Thanks.
**[15:43] Himari**
Yu, hop in the bath while it's hot.
**[15:48] Himari**
Sorry about Onii-chan.
**[15:51] Himari**
He's been real busy lately.
**[15:54] Himari**
I thought he could use
that to blow off some steam.
**[15:58] Yu**
It's okay, I'm the one
who should be thanking him.
**[16:02] Yu**
You sacrificed me on purpose?
**[16:04] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[16:08] Yu**
*A beauty in a yukata...*
**[16:10] Yu**
*What accessory would pair well?*
**[16:11] Yu**
*Something around her neck?*
**[16:13] Himari**
Yu, you're staring.
**[16:15] Yu**
Oh, sorry.
**[16:16] Yu**
I was just thinking of what
accessories would go with that yukata.
**[16:20] Himari**
I didn't say you can't stare.
**[16:23] Yu**
Cut it out!
**[16:26] Yu**
Wow, it's like a real hot springs inn!
**[16:30] Yu**
I've visited a few times, but
I've never stayed the night or taken a bath.
**[16:34] Himari**
You'll be here again tomorrow anyways.
**[16:36] Himari**
Go ahead and leave your
clothes in the hamper.
**[16:38] Himari**
I'll have our helpers wash it.
**[16:41] Yu**
Really? Thanks!
**[16:45] Yu**
*Which seat has Himari used?*
**[16:48] Yu**
*Hold up, what am I thinking?*
**[16:50] Yu**
*Am I stupid?*
**[16:51] Himari**
Heads up, Yu, I'm opening the door.
**[16:56] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[16:57] Himari**
Such a virgin.
**[16:58] Yu**
Shut up!
**[17:00] Yu**
I've never had a girl see me naked!
**[17:03] Yu**
Why did you open the door?
**[17:05] Himari**
You know, you worked so hard today.
**[17:08] Himari**
Want me to wash your back for you?
**[17:11] Yu**
*This girl is out of her mind!*
**[17:14] Himari**
Since I couldn't help you study,
**[17:15] Himari**
maybe you could use some cheering up.
**[17:18] Yu**
Th-That's weird between opposite genders.
**[17:21] Himari**
Yeah, but we're best friends.
**[17:23] Himari**
Or do you actually see me as more than that?
**[17:28] Yu**
*She's just teasing me like usual.*
**[17:29] Yu**
*I'm not falling for it.*
**[17:32] Yu**
Fine. Could you, please?
**[17:36] Himari**
O-Okay.
**[17:38] Himari**
Then let me undress.
**[17:41] Yu**
Huh?
**[17:43] Himari**
Turn around so you can't see, okay?
**[17:46] Yu**
*But she's just washing my back.*
**[17:48] Yu**
*There's no need to undress...*
**[17:49] Yu**
*Wait, that's beside the point.*
**[17:51] Yu**
* Himari-san? Don't you think*
* that's a bit overboard?*
**[17:57] Himari**
Yu, keep your eyes closed.
**[17:59] Yu**
O-Okay!
**[18:00] Yu**
*"Okay"?*
**[18:05] Yu**
*It's the same arms as the science room...*
**[18:09] Yu**
*I can't!*
**[18:10] Hibari**
Come on, let me wash you down.
**[18:13] Yu**
No!
**[18:15] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[18:15] Yu**
Himari!
**[18:20] Hibari**
I didn't think it would actually
go exactly as Himari imagined.
**[18:24] Yu**
Hibari-san, that wasn't funny.
**[18:27] Hibari**
You're right, I'm sorry.
**[18:28] Hibari**
But goodness, are you two
always fooling around like this?
**[18:33] Yu**
Uh, well, you see...
**[18:35] Yu**
I always try and stop her.
**[18:38] Yu**
I mean—nothing's ever happened!
**[18:41] Hibari**
I have no right judging
how you two act as best friends.
**[18:46] Hibari**
Anyways, I'm glad you two worked things out.
**[18:49] Yu**
Huh?
**[18:50] Hibari**
I know what happened.
**[18:52] Hibari**
Why wouldn't I know?
**[18:54] Yu**
*That's definitely convincing.*
**[18:56] Hibari**
I was worried Himari
wouldn't be able to apologize.
**[19:01] Hibari**
She's been too spoiled growing up.
**[19:04] Yu**
Himari apologize? For what?
**[19:06] Hibari**
I thought Himari apologized yesterday.
**[19:09] Hibari**
That's how you two made up, right?
**[19:12] Yu**
*Um, we did make up, but...*
**[19:16] Yu**
Himari never did anything wrong.
**[19:18] Yu**
I was the one who apologized.
It was my fault.
**[19:22] Hibari**
What?
**[19:26] Hibari**
She *hasn't* apologized.
**[19:28] Yu**
Hibari-san?
**[19:30] Hibari**
Do you mind sharing a bit more on that?
**[19:34] Yu**
*My bad, Himari. Didn't mean to out you.*
**[19:37] Himari**
Oh my gosh, that was crazy!
**[19:40] Himari**
If Onii-chan hadn't walked by,
**[19:43] Himari**
Yu and I would have been in our bath alone!
**[19:50] Himari**
Romance sure does take a toll...
**[19:52] Himari**
*But I don't mind, I guess.*
**[19:54] Himari**
* When Yu claps back like that,*
* there's this weird tension in the air.*
**[19:57] Himari**
*It's almost like a thrill, it's so exciting.*
**[20:00] Himari**
*Was I a masochist all along?*
**[20:05] Himari**
*Is that Yu?*
**[20:06] Himari**
* Oh my gosh, he came to*
* a girl's room this late at night!*
**[20:09] Himari**
*Could this mean...?*
**[20:12] Himari**
*If he's up for it, so am I!*
**[20:14] Himari**
Come in!
**[20:15] Himari**
* It'd make things weirder*
* if I pushed him away, right?*
**[20:20] Hibari**
Himari, let's have a little chat.
**[20:23] Hibari**
Shall we?
**[20:26] Hibari**
Yu-kun, when it comes
to studying, repetition is key.
**[20:32] Hibari**
You got a pretty good
grasp of things yesterday,
**[20:35] Hibari**
so let's take mock exams as many
times as possible until Sunday.
**[20:38] Yu**
O-Okay.
**[20:40] Yu**
Thank you. By the way...
**[20:42] Hibari**
And another thing.
**[20:44] Hibari**
Lack of sleep is your biggest enemy.
**[20:48] Hibari**
Feel free to use my
favorite relaxation items.
**[20:52] Yu**
G-Great.
**[20:54] Yu**
*The Inuzuka Family specialty:*
**[20:56] Yu**
*kill them with kindness.*
**[20:58] Hibari**
See you tonight.
**[21:00] Yu**
Thank you.
**[21:04] Yu**
Himari, you okay?
**[21:05] Himari**
Yeah, now that Onii-chan's gone.
**[21:09] Himari**
I'm better now.
**[21:11] Rion**
Yu-kun.
**[21:13] Rion**
Good morning.
**[21:14] Yu**
H-Hey, Enomoto-san...
**[21:16] Himari**
'S-Sup, Enocchi?
**[21:19] Yu**
*Is she some kind of modern ninja?*
**[21:21] Rion**
Yu-kun, did you just get
out of a car with Hii-chan?
**[21:25] Yu**
U-Um, Hibari-san was just dropping us off.
**[21:28] Yu**
I stayed at Himari's place last nigh—
**[21:31] Rion**
You stayed at *Hii-chan*'s house?
**[21:33] Yu**
Um, it's nothing. No big deal.
**[21:37] Yu**
I was studying with
Hibari-san the entire time.
**[21:39] Rion**
Studying? For what?
**[21:42] Yu**
I have to retake my exams on Sunday.
**[21:44] Yu**
I can't move to the next
grade without passing.
**[21:53] Rion**
Then I'll come, too.
**[21:55] Rion**
I'll stay the night, too!

**[01:30] Teacher**
So you solve for this double root by...
**[01:33] Yu**
*No way this goes over well.*
**[01:36] (Flashback) Rion**
I'll stay the night, too!
**[01:39] Yu**
*Technically, it's Himari's place, but...*
**[01:41] Yu**
*Spending the night with a guy?*
**[01:44] Yu**
*Besides, there's that one issue...*
**[01:48] Rion**
*What should I bring?*
**[01:49] Yu**
*Are you serious about this?*
**[01:53] Yu**
*Don't you need your mom's permission?*
**[01:55] Yu**
*Does she even know I'll be there?*
***SIGN*** No prob!
**[02:01] Rion**
*Mom said it's fine since you're a good guy.*
**[02:05] Yu**
*Come on, Mom!*
**[02:08] Himari**
*Sensei!*
**[02:09] Himari**
* This flunky's flirting*
* with Enocchi during class!*
**[02:15] Yu**
*Who said it was Enomoto-san?*
**[02:18] Himari**
* Nice try. She just texted me*
* about staying the night, too.*
**[02:23] Yu**
*Really? Is she that excited to sleep over?*
**[02:26] Himari**
* We've got a problem.*
* No studying at my place today!*
**[02:30] Yu**
*What? Why not?*
**[02:31] Himari**
*I told Onii-chan that Enocchi was coming,*
**[02:33] Himari**
* and he went off about not letting*
* Enomoto DNA step foot on our property.*
**[02:38] Yu**
* Hibari-san really hates*
* Enomoto-san's sister that much?*
**[02:42] Himari**
*Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!*
**[02:44] Yu**
*Then how about a family restaurant?*
**[02:46] Himari**
* If any teachers see us out late,*
* we'll get written up.*
**[02:49] Yu**
*You're right.*
**[02:52] Himari**
*You know, Yu.*
**[02:53] Himari**
* You get pretty frantic*
* when it comes to Enocchi.*
**[02:55] Yu**
*What are you talking about?*
**[02:56] Yu**
*She's only trying to help out.*
**[02:59] Himari**
*Hmm.*
**[03:00] Himari**
*Really?*
**[03:01] Himari**
* You sure you weren't hoping*
* for a repeat of last night?*
**[03:06] Yu**
Like hell I am!
**[03:09] Teacher**
Natsume!
**[03:11] Teacher**
You've got the nerve to play
around on your smartphone in class?!
**[03:14] Teacher**
After we agreed to let you retake the exams?!
**[03:18] Yu**
I-I'm sorry.
**[03:20] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[03:24] Mao**
Hey, there's Natsume-kun!
**[03:27] Mao**
Hey, so we were talking with Himari-san.
**[03:28] Yu**
Huh? What?
**[03:30] Azumi**
It's about this account!
**[03:33] Azumi**
Hang on, do you not remember us?
**[03:35] Mao**
We were in the same class last year.
**[03:37] Azumi**
This!
**[03:38] Azumi**
"You" is actually Natsume-kun, right?
**[03:42] Yu**
*Oh yeah, Himari said something about a leak.*
**[03:45] Yu**
Um, well, even if it were actually me—
**[03:48] Mao**
Which means?
**[03:49] Azumi**
It's totally true!
**[03:51] Mao**
I knew Himari-san was hiding something!
**[03:55] Yu**
Can I help you with something?
**[03:57] Mao**
Can you make us accessories, too?
**[03:59] Azumi**
We have a friend who really wants one!
**[04:01] Yu**
U-Umm, well, I'm kinda busy
studying for a retake...
**[04:06] Azumi**
You're retaking the exams?
**[04:08] Mao**
You seem so smart, though!
**[04:11] Makishima**
Natsu!
**[04:14] Makishima**
What are you doing with these commoners?
**[04:16] Yu**
Hey, Makishima.
**[04:18] Makishima**
Shoo! He's mine. Go on, now.
**[04:21] Azumi**
Get real!
**[04:23] Mao**
See ya, Natsume-kun!
**[04:25] Yu**
See ya.
**[04:26] Mao**
Let's go before his womanizer
virus rubs off on us!
**[04:29] Azumi**
For sure!
**[04:30] Himari**
Um, what's up?
**[04:33] Rion**
I just wanted to ask what I should bring
for the sleepover tonight.
**[04:37] Himari**
Oh right, that...
**[04:39] Himari**
* I thought she was never*
* speaking to me again.*
**[04:41] Himari**
*But she seems back to normal.*
**[04:44] Himari**
* Maybe she forgot with*
* the whole sleepover thing?*
**[04:48] Himari**
U-Um, actually, I've been
meaning to tell you...
**[04:50] Himari**
We can't study at my place today.
**[04:57] Rion**
Oh, okay...
**[05:01] Makishima**
You've sure made a name for yourself, Natsu.
**[05:05] Yu**
Himari told me you're the reason
for the leak to begin with.
**[05:10] Makishima**
I sure am.
**[05:12] Yu**
You could at least feel guilty about it.
**[05:15] Yu**
Never mind that.
**[05:16] Yu**
Could you help convince Enomoto-san for me?
**[05:19] Makishima**
Convince her? Of what?
**[05:24] Makishima**
So she's spending the night with
her crush under the pretext of studying.
**[05:31] Makishima**
Pretty bold of Rin-chan.
**[05:36] Makishima**
I must say, I'm proud as her
childhood friend and romance advisor.
**[05:41] Yu**
We're not spending the night,
it's a study group.
**[05:44] Yu**
Himari will be there, too.
**[05:47] Yu**
Wait, so you didn't tell her to do that?
**[05:49] Makishima**
It's the first I've heard of it.
**[05:50] Makishima**
I did tell her to be assertive
since you're easily pressured.
**[05:53] Yu**
You idiot!
**[05:55] Makishima**
Is that a problem?
**[05:58] Makishima**
The girl you love
and the girl who loves you.
**[06:01] Makishima**
A thrilling sleepover
caught between the two.
**[06:04] Makishima**
I've never experienced that,
even when I had five girlfriends.
**[06:11] Makishima**
Natsu, you must be the star of a rom-com.
**[06:14] Yu**
Stop jabbering and help me out here.
**[06:17] Makishima**
Not my problem.
**[06:18] Makishima**
Do whatever you want.
**[06:20] Makishima**
These are the consequences for your actions.
**[06:23] Makishima**
I know you were getting handsy with
**[06:25] Makishima**
Himari-chan in
the science room the other day.
**[06:29] Yu**
H-How do you know that?
**[06:32] Makishima**
Don't make me tell you.
**[06:33] Makishima**
You should have at least locked the doors.
**[06:38] Yu**
Wh-Who was watching? Enomoto-san?
**[06:40] Makishima**
Anyways...
**[06:42] Makishima**
Have fun screwing this up!
**[06:46] Yu**
*So no help from Makishima.*
**[06:49] Yu**
*How am I gonna convince Enomoto-san now?*
**[06:53] Himari**
Yu!
**[06:54] Himari**
About the study group tonight.
**[06:56] Himari**
We can have it at your place, right?
**[06:57] Yu**
What?
**[06:58] Himari**
Well we can't have it at my place.
**[07:00] Himari**
And anywhere public's a no-go.
**[07:03] Himari**
So it's gotta be your place!
**[07:07] Yu**
No way.
**[07:09] Yu**
You're one thing, but there's no way
I can let Enomoto-san stay the night.
**[07:12] Yu**
I mean—neither of you can stay!
**[07:13] Himari**
Come on, you can make up
an excuse about the sleepover.
**[07:17] Himari**
I'll be there, too.
**[07:18] Yu**
I dunno...
**[07:20] Himari**
Enocchi's really excited for it, you know?
**[07:23] Himari**
And I accidentally told her
we'd do it at your place.
**[07:27] Himari**
Please!
**[07:28] Himari**
I felt so bad my place got nixed
at the last minute.
**[07:32] Himari**
So... Please?
**[07:35] Yu**
*Dammit... She's... too cute!*
**[07:39] Classmate B**
Himari-san!
**[07:40] Himari**
'Sup?
**[07:41] Classmate B**
We've got Student Council
after school today.
**[07:43] Himari**
Okay!
**[07:44] Yu**
What?
**[07:45] Yu**
Wait, Himari!
**[07:46] Himari**
Sorry, Yu.
**[07:47] Himari**
I totally forgot about Student Council.
**[07:50] Himari**
You two get started without me!
**[07:53] Himari**
Don't worry! I'll get it over
with in no time!
**[07:59] Yu**
You've gotta be kidding...
**[08:04] Yu**
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
**[08:11] Yu**
Why is it like this today of all days?
**[08:14] Yu**
First thing's first! Gotta start cleaning!
**[08:20] Yu**
There. That should do it.
**[08:24] Yu**
* Now I just have to make sure*
* Saku-nee-san doesn't see Enomoto-san.*
**[08:31] Yu**
Come on in!
**[08:41] Rion**
Hello.
**[08:42] Yu**
W-Welcome.
**[08:44] Yu**
Come on inside.
**[08:46] Rion**
Thanks for having me.
**[08:48] Yu**
*Her outfit's so cute.*
**[08:51] Yu**
*And she wore my hair pin.*
**[08:54] Yu**
No one's here, so make yourself at home.
**[08:58] Rion**
Really?
**[08:59] Yu**
They're all at the store across the street.
**[09:01] Yu**
My family owns it.
I work there sometimes, too.
**[09:05] Rion**
Th-Then it's just us
until Hii-chan comes over?
**[09:15] Yu**
Something the matter?
**[09:18] Rion**
Nothing, just...
**[09:20] Rion**
There's no flowers.
**[09:21] Yu**
Oh, right.
**[09:23] Yu**
I store them here so Daifuku
doesn't get into them.
**[09:27] Yu**
Some flowers are toxic to cats.
**[09:29] Rion**
Wow, Yu-kun. It's like a world for fairies.
**[09:33] Rion**
What's this called?
**[09:34] Yu**
That's cherry sage.
**[09:36] Yu**
They're known as herbs,
but the flowers have a relaxing scent.
**[09:40] Yu**
So I like to keep them out
when I'm studying or playing games.
**[09:44] Rion**
Wow. So you made it both
beautiful and practical.
**[09:48] Yu**
S-Sure, not that I came up with it.
**[09:51] Yu**
All right then. Let me start
with a review of yesterday.
**[09:55] Yu**
Enomoto-san, can you
help me if I get stuck?
**[09:59] Rion**
Totally. I think I can go over most topics.
**[10:02] Rion**
I'm actually second in our class.
**[10:03] Rion**
Perfect scores in four of five subjects.
**[10:05] Yu**
For real? I didn't expect that.
**[10:08] Rion**
You didn't?
**[10:09] Yu**
N-Not like that!
**[10:11] Yu**
I just had no idea you
were *that* good at studying.
**[10:14] Yu**
If you're in second place, then who's first?
**[10:16] Yu**
They must have had perfect
scores in every subject.
**[10:20] Rion**
First place is Shii-kun.
**[10:23] Yu**
Of course he is...
**[10:24] Rion**
I'll beat him in the finals!
**[10:26] Yu**
*I'm the only one who can't study.*
**[10:31] Yu**
Enomoto-san, can you teach me this part?
**[10:34] Rion**
Where?
**[10:35] Rion**
Umm, oh yeah.
**[10:37] Rion**
You can solve this
by substituting this for x.
**[10:40] Rion**
Wait, maybe that's not it.
**[10:45] Yu**
*Don't look!*
**[10:46] Yu**
A-Are you thirsty?
**[10:48] Yu**
I'll get us something to drink.
**[11:03] Yu**
*My heart almost stopped.*
**[11:05] Yu**
* Unlike Himari, Enomoto-san*
* does that unknowingly.*
**[11:09] Yu**
* Himari better hurry up*
* while I can still keep my cool.*
**[11:13] Yu**
* Not that I can keep my cool*
* with her, either.*
**[11:36] Rion**
Upsy-daisy.
**[11:44] Yu**
Enomoto-san...
**[11:45] Rion**
I couldn't help it! It was
the scent of cherry sage!
**[11:49] Yu**
Cherry sage?
**[11:50] Rion**
It smelled so nice, and then I realized...
**[11:53] Rion**
The same scent was coming
from your bed, so...
**[11:56] Yu**
Oh, that.
**[11:58] Yu**
It's probably this.
**[12:00] Yu**
I was drinking this on my bed,
and spilled a bit of it.
**[12:03] Yu**
It's cherry sage tea. Try some.
**[12:06] Rion**
It smells so good.
**[12:11] Rion**
That's really good!
**[12:19] Rion**
You're right.
**[12:21] Rion**
It smells like cherry sage tea.
**[12:24] Yu**
That's a bit embarrassing.
**[12:31] Rion**
Well... I like you, Yu-kun.
**[12:36] Yu**
*Back when Himari and I weren't talking,*
**[12:38] Yu**
* Enomoto-san confessed to me*
* for the first time.*
**[12:42] Yu**
*I was preparing to use up all my flowers*
**[12:44] Yu**
*so I could go to Tokyo with Himari.*
**[12:48] Yu**
*It's not even like I asked for her help.*
**[12:50] Yu**
* But before I knew it,*
* she was making them with me.*
**[12:58] (Flashback) Rion**
I like you.
**[13:00] (Flashback) Rion**
I've liked you for seven years.
**[13:03] Yu**
* If I hadn't realized my feelings*
* for Himari back then,*
**[13:08] Yu**
*what would I have done?*
**[13:11] Yu**
* Since then, Enomoto-san*
* has been more direct with me.*
**[13:16] Yu**
Phew, done.
**[13:18] Yu**
Now to check my answers.
**[13:21] Yu**
*She's being super trusting.*
**[13:23] Yu**
*Like the day after I turned her down.*
**[13:26] Yu**
*She came up to me and said hi like usual.*
**[13:30] Yu**
*Better wake her up before Himari gets here.*
**[13:35] Yu**
Enomoto-san, wake up. It's already evening.
**[13:41] Yu**
W-W-Wait!
**[13:46] Yu**
*How is she still asleep?!*
**[13:48] Yu**
* She's like a real-life*
* character out of a rom-com manga!*
**[13:52] Himari**
Yu! I've arrived...
**[13:57] Yu**
H-Himari!
**[13:58] Yu**
It's not what it looks like!
**[13:59] Sakura**
You idiot...
**[14:01] Sakura**
How dare you sneak a girl into the house?
**[14:03] Sakura**
All while having a girl like Himari-chan?
**[14:06] Yu**
I swear it's not!
**[14:07] Yu**
We were studying,
but Enomoto-san fell asleep!
**[14:10] Yu**
Enomoto-san, you're so strong!
How's this possible?
**[14:15] Yu**
Wake up! I can't move!
**[14:18] Yu**
It's not funny!
**[14:20] Rion**
I'm so sorry!
**[14:22] Rion**
Just thinking of Yu-kun sleeping here
every night made me drift off to sleep...
**[14:27] Sakura**
So you're Kureha's little sister, huh?
**[14:30] Yu**
Saku-nee-san, you know Enomoto-san's sister?
**[14:33] Sakura**
Know her? We were high school classmates.
**[14:38] Sakura**
We get together with Hibari-kun sometimes
when she's back from Tokyo.
**[14:44] Sakura**
We met this New Year's, too.
**[14:46] Himari**
With Onii-chan?
**[14:47] Sakura**
Yup. You didn't hear?
**[14:49] Himari**
Enocchi's sister is
a taboo topic in our house.
**[14:52] Sakura**
That's no surprise from Hibari-kun.
**[14:54] Sakura**
He doesn't like to reveal his weaknesses.
**[14:57] Yu**
But still...
**[14:59] Yu**
I'm surprised they don't fight.
**[15:01] Sakura**
Well they're adults, unlike you guys.
**[15:04] Rion**
My sister can be a bit odd.
**[15:06] Rion**
So I didn't know she had friends back home.
**[15:10] Rion**
Thank you for taking care of her.
**[15:13] Sakura**
So, Rion-chan was it?
**[15:15] Sakura**
You don't actually like my idiot brother—
**[15:21] Sakura**
Seriously?
**[15:23] Sakura**
You're so cute, but you
have awful taste in guys.
**[15:26] Sakura**
Just like Kureha.
**[15:33] Yu**
Sorry about Saku-nee-san.
**[15:37] Rion**
I think she's a great older sister.
**[15:39] Yu**
You do?
**[15:40] Rion**
She's better than my sister,
**[15:41] Rion**
who came back during New Year's
but couldn't be bothered
**[15:45] Rion**
to give any of us family members a heads up.
**[15:47] Yu**
Okay...
**[15:49] Himari**
But you know...
**[15:50] Himari**
Just something I noticed.
**[15:52] Himari**
Neither of you seemed too
bothered by Sakura-san teasing you.
**[15:58] Yu**
Enomoto-san confessed
to me during our fight.
**[16:01] Himari**
Wh-What?!
**[16:03] Himari**
And you still tried to go to Tokyo with me?
**[16:07] Himari**
What's wrong with you?
**[16:08] Yu**
Well, I turned her down.
**[16:09] Himari**
B-But you've both been so normal.
**[16:13] Himari**
Isn't that usually an awkward situation?
**[16:15] Yu**
She's actually confessed
three times already.
**[16:18] Himari**
Three times?
**[16:19] Yu**
If I count that last one, four times.
**[16:21] Himari**
J-Just now? All while I was gone?
**[16:27] Rion**
Yes, I did.
**[16:29] Himari**
Yu, what the heck?!
**[16:31] Himari**
Taking advantage of Enocchi
and keeping her around?
**[16:33] Himari**
That's not like you!
**[16:35] Yu**
Um, well I turn her down every time.
**[16:39] Yu**
But it's always business as usual
the next day, and she bakes me cookies.
**[16:44] Himari**
Don't get lured in by cookies!
**[16:45] Yu**
H-Hey Himari, calm down.
**[16:46] Himari**
You can't be wishy washy like that!
**[16:48] Himari**
Even if she is your first crush!
**[16:53] Rion**
First crush?
**[16:54] Rion**
Yu-kun, is that true?
**[16:56] Yu**
Himari!
**[16:57] Yu**
Why are you exposing me like that?
**[16:59] Himari**
I'm sorry!
**[17:01] Yu**
You're my first crush, but I'm not sure
if that means I like you now.
**[17:08] Yu**
And I can't accept your offer
just because you're pretty.
**[17:13] Rion**
Yu-kun...
**[17:17] Rion**
Gotcha! Good to know for next time!
**[17:19] Himari**
What was that memo?
**[17:20] Himari**
Man, you're optimistic.
**[17:22] Yu**
Anyways, what about you two?
**[17:24] Yu**
You seemed awkward until this morning.
**[17:26] Rion**
Oh yeah! Hmph!
**[17:28] Yu**
That's not very convincing.
**[17:31] Rion**
I totally forgot.
**[17:32] Rion**
I wasn't supposed to talk to Hii-chan.
**[17:35] Yu**
You weren't?
**[17:35] Himari**
From a couple days ago.
**[17:37] Himari**
She messaged me.
**[17:38] Yu**
That didn't last long.
**[17:40] Yu**
Enomoto-san, you forgot after
the whole study group thing, didn't you?
**[17:44] Rion**
Because Hii-chan said she supported me.
**[17:47] Rion**
Then she went and tried
to take you to Tokyo.
**[17:50] Yu**
I guess that's partly my fault, too.
**[17:53] Rion**
But I know that I don't deserve
to get mad over that.
**[17:58] Rion**
Shii-kun told me that I shouldn't complain
until I've worked hard to be number one.
**[18:04] Rion**
Hii-chan's worked two years
to be Yu-kun's number one.
**[18:07] Rion**
I haven't worked at all in seven years.
**[18:09] Rion**
I have no right to criticize Hii-chan.
**[18:12] Rion**
That's why I'll become both Yu-kun
and Hii-chan's number one!
**[18:17] Yu/Himari**
Come again?
**[18:19] Rion**
If I become Yu-kun's number one
and Hii-chan's number one friend,
**[18:25] Rion**
everything works out, right?
**[18:26] Yu**
* So she would feel bad*
* coming between Himari and me,*
**[18:30] Yu**
* so instead, she's gonna*
* take both of us for herself?*
**[18:34] Yu**
* Is this a threat? What kind of*
* wartime general is she?*
**[18:37] Yu**
Uh, Enomoto-san...
**[18:39] Rion**
After thinking about it, Hii-chan's
worked really hard as the main model.
**[18:43] Rion**
So I should respect that role as hers.
**[18:47] Himari**
U-Um, thanks.
**[18:49] Rion**
Besides, if I'm gonna work hard for Yu-kun,
**[18:51] Rion**
I can't just copy her.
**[18:53] Rion**
That's why I was hoping
to help you behind the scenes.
**[18:56] Rion**
What do you think?
**[18:59] Yu**
If you're okay with that.
**[19:01] Rion**
Yay! That works better for me anyways
since I have club after school.
**[19:05] Rion**
If I learn more about
online orders and shipping,
**[19:08] Rion**
I bet I can help out more
with my family's cake shop, too!
**[19:10] Yu**
Well if that's the case, great.
**[19:13] Himari**
Enocchi's stubborn when she gets like this.
**[19:16] Himari**
I think it's a great idea.
**[19:18] Yu**
Then we'd love to work with you!
**[19:22] Rion**
Great! I'll do my best!
**[19:23] Himari**
Let's celebrate the new You team!
**[19:34] Hibari**
You do realize what you just did, right?
**[19:37] Hibari**
Letting Enomoto's little sister join you.
**[19:40] Himari**
It couldn't be helped.
**[19:41] Himari**
She was so sincere about us being friends.
**[19:46] Himari**
* Honestly, I know I did*
* a terrible thing by telling her*
**[19:50] Himari**
*I'd support her then going behind her back.*
**[19:53] Himari**
Onii-chan, I heard you still
hang out with Kureha-san.
**[19:57] Hibari**
Sakura-kun told you?
**[19:58] Hibari**
She always lets things slip.
**[20:01] Himari**
You're still not over her?
**[20:03] Hibari**
Never mind me, worry about yourself.
**[20:07] Himari**
Why?
**[20:08] Hibari**
Not only did you mistake the balance
between friendship and romance,
**[20:12] Hibari**
you chose the wrong partner
to create accessories with.
**[20:16] Hibari**
First, your emotions got the best of you,
and Yu-kun had to retake his exams.
**[20:22] Hibari**
Now, you're holding Yu-kun back under
the guise of being his best friend.
**[20:26] Hibari**
If you can't help each other be better,
you have no right to stand beside him.
**[20:34] Hibari**
It's not like Yu-kun's dream
depends on your support.
**[20:38] Hibari**
I could just adopt him
into the Inuzuka family.
**[20:41] Himari**
Onii-chan, you never think
about anyone besides Yu.
**[20:46] Himari**
So? What am I supposed to do now?
**[20:50] Hibari**
Stop lying to Yu-kun.
**[20:53] Himari**
Lying?
**[20:54] Hibari**
You have a habit of preparing
an escape route.
**[20:57] Hibari**
Until you fix that, you'll lose to Enomoto's
sister and never be Yu-kun's equal.
**[21:04] Himari**
I understand. I accept that challenge.
**[21:08] Hibari**
Very well then.
**[21:10] Hibari**
How about some treats on the way home?
**[21:12] Himari**
Really?
**[21:13] Hibari**
It's my fault for not being able to
let Enomoto's sister in our house.
**[21:20] Hibari**
Buy whatever you'd like.
**[21:21] Himari**
Thanks, Onii-chan!
**[21:23] Himari**
Then I want some ice cream
or black Mont Blanc!
**[21:27] Himari**
Oh yeah, Onii-chan.
**[21:28] Himari**
About the no lying thing,
what's considered a lie?
**[21:34] Hibari**
Himari! That's the problem with you!
**[21:35] Himari**
I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!
**[21:37] Himari**
It was a reflex!
**[21:40] Hibari**
That kind of thoughtless banter
risks Yu-kun losing his cool!
**[21:45] Himari**
I understand!
**[21:46] Himari**
I'll be an honest person
so I can be Yu's equal!

Hey, idiot. Wake up, already.
**[00:06] Yu**
It's so hot!
**[00:14] Yu**
*Time to switch to summer uniforms.*
***SIGN*** Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive?

**[01:48] Yu**
* I was so relieved about passing exams,*
* I let work get away from me.*
**[01:52] Yu**
*Now that Enomoto-san's joined the team,*
**[01:56] Yu**
*I gotta work even harder as a creator.*
**[01:59] Yu**
* Like Saku-nee-san said,*
* I need to quit being stuck in time.*
**[02:04] Himari**
Yu!
**[02:06] Himari**
Morning!
**[02:10] Yu**
M-Morning.
**[02:18] Yu**
*Well played, main model!*
**[02:20] Yu**
*You know my weakness!*
**[02:22] Yu**
*But alas!*
**[02:24] Yu**
Oh yeah, Himari.
**[02:25] Yu**
You check out that dog post I sent you?
**[02:28] Himari**
Yup! Sure did!
**[02:30] Himari**
I know you're just acting slick.
**[02:32] Himari**
I see you eyeing my summer uniform!
**[02:35] Yu**
Shut up.
**[02:37] Yu**
I'm still scarred over you humiliating me
in front of the class last year.
**[02:41] Himari**
Don't sweat it!
**[02:42] Himari**
Everyone has a secret fetish or two.
**[02:46] Himari**
I'm not shy about how much I love your eyes.
**[02:50] Yu**
You tell people that?
**[02:52] Yu**
Won't that give people the wrong idea?
**[02:55] Himari**
Wrong idea how?
**[02:57] Yu**
* D-Dammit, she's trying to pressure me*
* into saying it out loud.*
**[03:01] Yu**
*But I'm a changed man!*
**[03:07] Yu**
You know exactly how.
**[03:10] Yu**
People will look at us like we're dating.
**[03:14] Yu**
Deep down, I bet you actually
*want* to go out with me.
**[03:22] Yu**
* What's that look like she's*
* so happy she can't contain herself?*
**[03:27] Himari**
Then... what if we really went out?
**[03:33] Yu**
*What?! But we're in class—*
**[03:39] Yu**
*Wait. I know what happens next.*
**[03:43] Himari**
Ow! Come on, Yu!
**[03:46] Himari**
Stop acting rebellious like Enocchi!
**[03:50] Yu**
Shut up.
**[03:51] Himari**
It's not my fault you suck at romance!
**[03:54] Himari**
So much for trying to trick me.
**[03:59] Yu**
*I wish I had a good comeback...*
**[04:04] Himari**
So what's the plan today?
**[04:06] Yu**
Enomoto-san doesn't
have band practice today,
**[04:10] Yu**
so I was thinking of having a team meeting.
**[04:13] Rion**
Yu-kun, Hii-chan.
**[04:18] Rion**
Sorry about the wait!
**[04:20] Himari**
Man, Enocchi. Those things are lethal.
**[04:22] Yu**
You look nice in the summer uniform.
**[04:25] Rion**
Th-Thanks.
**[04:30] Yu**
*Crap!*
**[04:31] Yu**
* "That was nothing like*
* your reaction to seeing me*
**[04:34] Yu**
* glimmering under the bright*

**[04:36] Yu**
*Is that it?*
**[04:38] Yu**
U-Um, did you see my message?
**[04:41] Rion**
About the team meeting? Yup!
***SIGN*** Currently preparing to grow flowers!
**[04:46] Himari**
So what's the agenda?
**[04:47] Yu**
I think the first thing is what
to do with our inventory.
**[04:51] Yu**
Since preserved flowers
change colors with time.
**[04:54] Rion**
Really?
**[04:56] Rion**
Then we should promote
them as soon as we can.
**[04:59] Himari**
Yup! So next, we shoot promos
and post them online. Right?
**[05:07] Yu**
R-Right, with Himari as the model.
**[05:12] Himari**
Gee, I hope that didn't seem
like a leading question!
**[05:16] Yu**
Whatever it was, I don't like it.
**[05:19] Mao**
Oh, there he is!
**[05:21] Mao**
Natsume-kun!
**[05:23] Azumi**
Hey Himari-san! And Enomoto-san!
**[05:26] Mao**
Woah, this is a crazy good-looking group.
**[05:31] Himari**
Hey, Mao-py and Azu-kyun! What's up?
**[05:35] Mao**
We wanted to ask about those accessories
you promised us the other day!
**[05:41] Yu**
Oh yeah!
***SIGN*** Science Room
**[05:45] Yu**
Phew.
**[05:47] Yu**
You can take any of the ones in here.
**[05:50] Mao**
No, that's not special enough!
**[05:53] Azumi**
We want custom ones!
**[05:56] Yu**
I figured you might say that.
**[05:58] Himari**
Could you start by letting
us know what you want?
**[06:03] Himari**
Custom-made pieces can get expensive.
**[06:06] Himari**
So you might wanna think about your budget.
**[06:08] Himari**
And besides...
**[06:11] Himari**
Yu decides what pieces to make.
**[06:14] Mao**
My bad. I thought it was
the same as the other ones.
**[06:18] Azumi**
See, it's Mao and her boyfriend's
anniversary next month.
**[06:22] Mao**
I wanted a matching pair of accessories,
**[06:25] Mao**
but haven't been able to find any that work.
**[06:28] Yu**
You mean you want a piece for a guy
and girl under the same concept?
**[06:32] Mao**
Exactly!
**[06:34] Yu**
*Not a bad idea.*
**[06:35] Yu**
*A matching set would be a new challenge.*
**[06:40] Himari**
Looks like Yu's up for it!
**[06:44] Mao/Azumi**
Yay!
**[06:48] Yu**
That was exhausting.
**[06:50] Himari**
Yu, you gotta toughen up.
**[06:53] Himari**
Creators have to engage
with customers in this day and age!
**[06:57] Yu**
Yeah, but those two are so outgoing.
**[07:00] Yu**
I want customers who are a bit tamer.
**[07:03] Rion**
Keeping notes...
**[07:05] Rion**
"That face means Yu-kun's up for it."
**[07:08] Yu**
Is that necessary?
**[07:10] Himari**
So we're going to plan
something for those two,
**[07:13] Himari**
while clearing out inventory. Sound good?
**[07:17] Rion**
Okay!
**[07:19] Yu**
Roger that.
**[07:25] Yu**
About the flower for this piece...
**[07:27] Yu**
I'm thinking the Japanese cornel.
**[07:29] Rion**
Cornel?
**[07:31] Himari**
Umm... This?
**[07:34] Himari**
It represents maintenance,
resilience, and mature spirit.
**[07:39] Himari**
But why this? Kinda has
an old lady vibe, doesn't it?
**[07:43] Yu**
Remember when we met with that couple?
**[07:47] Yu**
Instead of an intense love,
they gave off a tangible vibe.
**[07:56] Yu**
The Japanese cornel is the flower of health.
**[07:59] Yu**
If we're talking about a long,
sustainable relationship,
**[08:02] Yu**
I thought something more
down-to-earth would suit them.
**[08:06] Yu**
You think it's a bit too cheesy?
**[08:08] Himari**
Don't say that.
**[08:10] Himari**
It's ultimately up to the customer,
**[08:12] Himari**
but we respect your vision as the creator.
**[08:16] Rion**
Yup!
**[08:17] Yu**
Th-Thanks.
**[08:19] Himari**
What about the price?
**[08:21] Yu**
That's the only hang-up...
**[08:23] Rion**
Is there a problem?
**[08:25] Yu**
Honestly, I think our prices right now
are too expensive for high schoolers.
**[08:30] Himari**
Yeah, teenagers only make up
10% of our customers overall.
**[08:35] Yu**
And we've flown under
the radar at school so far
**[08:38] Yu**
since everything has been
sold through social media.
**[08:42] Rion**
But there's other girls like me...
**[08:44] Himari**
Yeah, and now that people know who you are,
**[08:47] Himari**
you might be getting a lot more attention.
**[08:50] Yu**
Is it bad if I get more attention?
**[08:52] Himari**
Well what if girls—
**[08:53] Rion**
You might get really popular with girls!
**[08:56] Yu**
Enomoto-san, don't say dumb stuff like that.
**[09:00] Rion**
D-Dumb...?
**[09:02] Yu**
Sorry! It slipped out!
**[09:04] Yu**
I reacted like I would with Himari!
**[09:07] Rion**
That means I'm catching up
to Hii-chan, right?
**[09:10] Yu**
You're so positive...
**[09:12] Himari**
I guess it's not a bad thing
for customers to come to you.
**[09:15] Yu**
Yeah.
**[09:17] Yu**
I'll try to engage with
customers more for You's sake.
**[09:24] Yu**
* It might just be the breakthrough I need,*
* like Saku-nee-san said.*

I'm not very good with accessories...
**[09:47] Yu**
Senpai, you have a good frame
so I think it'll suit you.
**[09:52] Yu**
Necklaces shouldn't be tucked away,
they need to be shown off.
**[09:56] Boyfriend**
Makes sense.
**[09:57] Boyfriend**
You know, I was a bit shy
about the matching set thing,
**[10:03] Boyfriend**
but she really liked the piece
she bought from you last year.

Looks like Mao-py and Azu-kyun

**[10:58] Yu**
Word-of-mouth beats any ad.
**[11:01] Himari**
The matching set was great,
**[11:02] Himari**
but that earring you made Azu-kyun
was really cute, too.

**[11:41] Himari**
They're more willing to pay
the hiked price since
**[11:45] Himari**
these are completely unique pieces,
unlike the ones before.
**[11:50] Himari**
And those two are too good
at promoting this stuff!
**[11:53] (Flashback) Mao**
Don't be shy!
**[11:55] (Flashback) Azumi**
We can totally spread
the word on how great these are!
**[11:59] (Flashback) Mao/Azumi**
Leave it to us!
**[12:01] Himari**
It started as an "original" accessory.
**[12:03] Himari**
Then it became a "one-of-a-kind
accessory made to order."
**[12:06] Himari**
Now it's an accessory that'll "make
your romantic wishes come true."
**[12:09] Rion**
Can't we ask them to hold off on promo?
**[12:12] Yu**
How can we? They're so happy to do it.
**[12:15] Himari**
You have to admit, it *is* nice of them.
**[12:18] Yu**
We'll just have to power through it.
**[12:22] Himari**
Yu! How's it going?
**[12:24] Yu**
I'm amazed at this space
Hibari-san prepared for me.
**[12:29] Yu**
Oh, and sorry to be here while you're out.
**[12:33] Himari**
It's fine.
**[12:34] Himari**
We can't leave the science room
unattended in case a new client pops in.
**[12:39] Yu**
I appreciate it.
**[12:41] Yu**
I can hardly get anything done
at home thanks to Daifuku.
**[12:44] Yu**
So I might be cooped up in here for a while.
**[12:47] Himari**
Shouldn't you get some rest?
**[12:49] Himari**
I'll wake you up when Enocchi gets here.
**[12:52] Yu**
What are you doing?
**[12:53] Himari**
Inviting you to rest on my
cute little lap, of course.
**[12:56] Himari**
You can't be stupid enough
to decline this offer.
**[12:59] Yu**
* You being cute is exactly*
* why I'd have to decline.*
**[13:03] Yu**
*Oh well. It's not like anyone will see.*
**[13:09] Himari**
"If this were Enocchi, I bet
I wouldn't be able to see her face."
**[13:12] Himari**
Is that what you're thinking?
**[13:14] Yu**
O-Of course not!
**[13:15] Yu**
Himari-san, napping on your lap is the best!
**[13:18] Himari**
Ew, are you picking up phrases
from Makishima-kun?
**[13:22] Himari**
Don't even think about copying that player.
**[13:27] Yu**
Cut the crap. Let me sleep.
**[13:32] Yu**
Himari. Can I ask you something?
**[13:35] Yu**
Remember when I made
a piece for Enomoto-san?
**[13:39] Yu**
You said you wanted an accessory of romance.
**[13:41] Himari**
Oh my gosh, that's so embarrassing.
**[13:46] Himari**
Why do you ask? You
feeling romance towards me?
**[13:48] Yu**
Shut up. But what about you?
**[13:52] Yu**
You had a bad experience
with Makishima's exes in middle school.
**[13:56] Yu**
You've hated romance ever since? Even now?
**[13:59] Himari**
Hmm...
**[14:02] Himari**
Yup!
**[14:03] Yu**
Then why did you ask
for a piece about romance?
**[14:07] Himari**
Because Enocchi looked so cute in hers.
**[14:11] Yu**
Oh... Okay.
**[14:14] Yu**
* I was afraid it meant she fell*
* for another guy.*
**[14:19] Yu**
* I always thought I'd be fine*
* if Himari got a boyfriend.*
**[14:24] Yu**
* But now... even if*
* it's just as a best friend,*
**[14:26] Yu**
*I want her by my side forever.*
**[14:30] Yu**
* Himari's nice enough*
* to do that if I ask her.*
**[14:34] Yu**
* But I don't wanna take*
* advantage of her like that.*
**[14:40] Yu**
* That's why I need to work*
* harder... to be her equal...*
**[14:59] Himari**
* I wonder if it's because*
* he's been so focused on work.*
**[15:02] Himari**
*Yu's clearly changed.*
**[15:05] Himari**
* Before, all he needed*
* was to satisfy himself.*
**[15:10] Himari**
*But now, his eyes are burning with passion.*
**[15:13] Himari**
*He gives me goosebumps now.*
**[15:15] Himari**
*And it scares me at the same time.*
**[15:18] Himari**
* Like he might leave me*
* and go off on his own.*
**[15:23] Himari**
*I hate romance.*
**[15:25] Himari**
*Thanks to all these girls caught up in love,*
**[15:28] Himari**
*I've had less time with Yu recently.*
**[15:30] Himari**
*What a drag.*
**[15:32] Himari**
*I don't need a piece about romance.*
**[15:35] Himari**
*As long as I have this best friend ring,*
**[15:39] Himari**
*Yu will stay by my side.*
**[15:43] Himari**
* But if anyone were to ask*
* if I wanted to go back*
**[15:47] Himari**
*to the days when we were only friends...*
**[15:51] Himari**
*My answer would be "no."*
**[15:54] Himari**
*Because if I never realized that I loved Yu,*
**[15:57] Himari**
* I wouldn't have known*
* the happiness I do now.*
**[16:03] Himari**
* I'm probably living the happiest*
* days of my life right now.*
**[16:08] Himari**
*I'm not exaggerating. It's true.*
**[16:14] Yu**
So we're delivering two pieces today.
**[16:19] Yu**
Let's break up into groups
so we can deliver these—
**[16:23] Makishima**
I thought I saw a guy
with some gorgeous girls.
**[16:27] Makishima**
And what do you know? It's Natsu!
**[16:31] Himari**
Hey, Makishima-kun. Can we help you?
**[16:34] Yu**
You don't have to copy her, Enomoto-san.
**[16:36] Makishima**
Remember, Rin-chan.
**[16:37] Makishima**
Too much physical contact
makes it less special.
**[16:41] Makishima**
Save that for the right moment
to leave an impression.
**[16:44] Rion**
Oh! Right!
**[16:46] Yu**
Don't make note of that.
**[16:51] Makishima**
Rin-chan sure makes a great student.
**[16:53] Makishima**
She'll beat out Himari-chan
in no time, don't you worry.
**[16:57] Himari**
You know, Makishima-kun.
**[16:59] Himari**
Instead of focusing
on other people's love lives,
**[17:01] Himari**
you should make sure your younger
girlfriend doesn't get fed up of you.
**[17:04] Makishima**
More importantly, Natsu.
**[17:06] Makishima**
Wanna grab a bite to eat?
**[17:08] Makishima**
I thought we could discuss
the future of You.
**[17:13] Yu**
Did you put those two up
to promoting my accessories?
**[17:17] Makishima**
Nope, that was entirely their choice.
**[17:20] Makishima**
They may be part of the popular crowd,
**[17:23] Makishima**
but they're friendly
with any circle of students.
**[17:26] Makishima**
They love being in other people's business
but act purely on good intentions.
**[17:30] Yu**
Yeah?
**[17:32] Makishima**
That's why they were the perfect pair
to help leak the creator of You.
**[17:37] Yu**
What do you mean?
**[17:38] Makishima**
Even 100% good intentions can
sometimes turn into 200% ill intentions.
**[17:45] Yu**
I have no clue what you're talking about.
**[17:47] Makishima**
I wanted to talk to you
to apologize beforehand.
**[17:50] Makishima**
If everything goes as expected,
**[17:52] Makishima**
you might be in for some emotional pain.
**[17:55] Yu**
What? Why would you do that?
**[17:58] Makishima**
For Rin-chan, of course.
**[18:00] Yu**
I'm totally lost.
**[18:03] Yu**
Why are you so invested
in helping Enomoto-san anyways?
**[18:06] Makishima**
Because I owe Rin-chan.
**[18:09] Makishima**
Something worth way more than
helping her realize her first love.
**[18:17] Yu**
* It wasn't long before I found out*
* the full scope of Makishima's plans.*
**[18:25] Sasaki**
Did you make this?
**[18:28] Yu**
Y-Yes...
**[18:31] Sasaki**
We received a complaint from the parents
of the female student who bought this.
**[18:36] Yu**
A complaint?
**[18:38] Sasaki**
They say their daughter was coerced
into buying this accessory for a high price.
**[18:43] Yu**
That's not what happened at all!
**[18:45] Yu**
We made this based on her requests
and shared the price in advance.
**[18:50] Yu**
She agreed to it.
**[18:52] Sasaki**
Is there proof of that?
**[18:55] Yu**
Only a statement of delivery and receipt...
**[19:00] Yu**
But that's with Himari.
**[19:01] Sasaki**
Okay then. I'll ask Inuzuka about that.
**[19:04] Sasaki**
By the way, are your handmade
accessories sold according to regulations?
**[19:10] Yu**
O-Our accessories are accounted under
my family's convenience store business.
**[19:16] Yu**
We've undergone legal processes,
and my sister manages that side.
**[19:20] Sasaki**
That's right, your sister's Sakura.
**[19:23] Sasaki**
You've been a handful with your blank exams.
**[19:26] Sasaki**
But Sakura was a handful for being so smart.
**[19:30] Sasaki**
I'll have to discuss
with the other teachers first,
**[19:33] Sasaki**
but even if the school determines
your activities are no issue,
**[19:37] Sasaki**
the same can't be said
for other parents who don't know you.
**[19:41] Sasaki**
All they know is that their kid bought
an expensive accessory.
**[19:47] Sasaki**
Understand?
**[19:48] Yu**
Yes, sir.
**[19:49] Sasaki**
I won't tell you to stop making them.
**[19:51] Sasaki**
But you'll have to pause sales
for the time being.
**[19:54] Sasaki**
Any orders you've already
accepted will have to wait. Okay?
**[19:59] Himari**
What? That's ridiculous!
**[20:01] Rion**
She sounds like a Karen in the making!
**[20:04] Yu**
Thankfully, Sasaki-sensei
did some damage control.
**[20:09] Yu**
We're lucky to get off this easy.
**[20:11] Himari**
But we'll have to assert ourselves more.
**[20:14] Himari**
She's the one lying, after all.
**[20:16] Kamako**
Man, that was such a waste of money.
**[20:20] Classmate B**
We only did it cause Senpai told us to.
**[20:23] Kamako**
Exactly!
**[20:24] Kamako**
So dumb!
**[20:27] Kamako**
I only bought that expensive thing because
**[20:29] Kamako**
they promised it would
make him like me back!
**[20:32] Classmate B**
You think we can return it?
**[20:34] Kamako**
So I can admit to them I got dumped? No way.
**[20:38] Classmate B**
I bet it's all to make more money.
**[20:41] Kamako**
I hate Senpai for dumping me.
**[20:43] Kamako**
And whoever spread that rumor.
**[20:45] Kamako**
And that guy who made this!
**[20:48] Kamako**
They can all go to hell!
**[20:51] Yu**
* She said she had a crush*
* on another senpai from her club.*
**[20:54] Yu**
* She wanted a feminine,*
* Japanese-style piece he would like.*
**[21:00] Yu**
*Seeing her talk about her love for him...*
**[21:02] Yu**
* I thought it was beautiful*
* how innocent and giddy she looked.*
**[21:07] Himari**
Hey!
**[21:08] Himari**
A lot of work went into that!
**[21:11] Himari**
Why would you do something like that?!
**[21:13] Kamako**
Let me go!
**[21:14] Classmate B**
It's not worth it! Let's go!
**[21:18] Yu**
* Having feelings for someone*
* is a beautiful thing.*
**[21:23] Yu**
*Like how I realized my feelings for Himari,*
**[21:26] Yu**
* and how that motivated me*
* to be a better person.*
**[21:40] (Flashback) Himari**
But "beautiful" doesn't always mean "pure."
**[21:45] Rion**
Yu-kun...
**[21:47] Yu**
*She was right.*
**[21:49] Yu**
* Even something*
* as beautiful as loving someone*
**[21:53] Yu**
* doesn't necessarily mean*
* their intentions are pure.*
**[21:57] Yu**
*Realizing that made me feel...*
**[21:59] Yu**
*like a huge piece of shit.*

**[00:01] Sasaki**
Your business isn't to blame.
**[00:03] Sasaki**
And Natsume is free to make
and sell accessories.
**[00:08] Sasaki**
But as the school,
we have to respond somehow.
**[00:13] Sasaki**
I'd hate to ask Natsume
to take the fall, but...
**[00:18] Sasaki**
We'll need you to offer flexible responses to
**[00:21] Sasaki**
any parents with demands or refund requests.
**[00:27] Sakura**
I understand.

**[02:00] Mao**
We're so sorry!
**[02:01] Mao**
I never imagined this would happen.
**[02:04] Azumi**
I swear, we just really wanted to
promote his accessories.
**[02:08] Mao**
So could you please apologize
to Natsume-kun for us?
**[02:13] Himari**
*Couldn't they apologize to him themselves?*
**[02:18] Himari**
* It's pretty obvious that word*
* has gotten out already.*
**[02:22] Himari**
* Goes to show that my support*
* is as important as ever!*
**[02:28] Himari**
*Who else if not me, the main wifey?*
**[02:31] Himari**
*Gotta use my kind, tender embrace to*
**[02:34] Himari**
*boost Yu's trust in Himari-chan!*
**[02:37] Himari**
Morning!
**[02:38] Yu**
What is it? That hurt.
**[02:40] Himari**
Seriously? It's the same as usual.
**[02:43] Yu**
Yeah, I guess.
**[02:48] Himari**
*I guess he's still not over it.*
**[02:51] Himari**
*Oh well, it'll be fine!*
**[02:55] Himari**
* This is only a small bump*
* in the road towards our dream.*
**[03:01] Yu**
I get why you went out of your way
to apologize the other day.
**[03:05] Makishima**
Here's an offer then.
**[03:08] Makishima**
Go ahead and hit me. You have that right.
**[03:14] Yu**
That wouldn't change a thing.
**[03:17] Yu**
Besides, I might have done the same as you
**[03:20] Yu**
if I ever wanted to help someone in love.
**[03:23] Makishima**
Wow, Natsu. That's unusually mature of you.
**[03:27] Makishima**
Did something happen?
**[03:28] Yu**
I dunno.
**[03:29] Yu**
Maybe your plan worked.
**[03:35] Himari**
You're not in an awkward
spot in band, are you?
**[03:39] Rion**
No... I never took any orders.
**[03:43] Rion**
What's gonna happen to the store?
**[03:47] Himari**
We'll need to focus on damage control first.
**[03:50] Himari**
Maybe I'll take Yu out somewhere
over the weekend.
**[03:54] Himari**
That way, he can lighten up
and get back to work.
**[03:56] Rion**
Are you sure that'll help?
**[03:59] Himari**
What do you mean?
**[04:00] Rion**
I mean, that must have been
really traumatic.
**[04:03] Rion**
Can he get over it just like that?
**[04:06] Himari**
Don't worry about it!
**[04:08] Himari**
Yu's never skipped
a day of making accessories.
**[04:12] Himari**
He'll bounce back!
**[04:14] Rion**
When you're hurt by something you love,
it can leave a scar that lasts forever.
**[04:24] Himari**
Did Makishima-kun teach you
to rattle me like that?
**[04:28] Rion**
This has nothing to do with Shii-kun.
**[04:30] Himari**
But he's the one who set
up this whole situation.
**[04:34] Himari**
I wouldn't be surprised
if you were in on it.
**[04:38] Rion**
I'd never do that!
**[04:39] Rion**
Do you seriously think that?
**[04:42] Himari**
Well, why not?
**[04:43] Himari**
You act like you're a ditz,
but you're pretty calculating.
**[04:46] Himari**
Like that study group!
**[04:48] Himari**
You pretended to be
asleep so you could hug Yu.
**[04:50] Rion**
I-I wasn't pretending!
**[04:53] Himari**
Sounds fishier the more you deny it.
**[05:01] Himari**
Hey, Yu. Where have you been?
**[05:03] Yu**
At Sasaki-sensei's.
**[05:05] Yu**
Went to grab the accessories
that were returned.
**[05:13] Himari**
My dear Yu isn't
as weak as you are, Enocchi.
**[05:16] Rion**
I really hate when you're
like this, Hii-chan.
**[05:23] Rion**
What should we do with them?
**[05:25] Yu**
We can't resell them.
**[05:28] Yu**
They may be damaged.
**[05:30] Rion**
Oh...
**[05:31] Himari**
You know, I'm still upset
about this whole ordeal.
**[05:36] Himari**
These were all made-to-order,
and they agreed to the prices.
**[05:40] Yu**
It can't be helped.
**[05:42] Yu**
They're arguing that we conned them.
**[05:46] Himari**
*Something's wrong.*
**[05:48] Himari**
*Yu's never this mature.*
**[05:51] Himari**
*And it feels so gloomy.*
**[05:56] Himari**
Then what's done is done. I'll get over it!
**[05:59] Himari**
Let's go somewhere this
weekend for a change!
**[06:03] Himari**
Yeah, Enocchi?
**[06:04] Rion**
S-Sure, sounds good.
**[06:06] Rion**
Can we stop by the tea shop in the mall?
**[06:10] Himari**
I wanna check out some summer clothes!
**[06:13] Himari**
Think of it as inspo
for your next accessories.
**[06:15] Himari**
How's that sound?
**[06:18] Yu**
Actually, I'm thinking
about quitting until we graduate.
**[06:26] Himari**
D-Don't joke about things like that!
**[06:29] Himari**
You could lose friends that way!
**[06:33] Yu**
I'm not joking.
**[06:35] Yu**
I was wrong for acting like some
entrepreneur as a student in the first place.
**[06:40] Himari**
H-Hang on.
**[06:42] Himari**
You started the store because
you wanted to make accessories!
**[06:45] Himari**
Sensei himself said he won't stop you
from selling them online.
**[06:49] Yu**
But everyone's been looking
at me weird ever since.
**[06:53] Yu**
You know they've been
talking behind my back.
**[06:56] Himari**
Who cares? Just ignore them!
**[06:59] Yu**
I don't have thick skin like you.
**[07:03] Yu**
Besides, why does it matter?
**[07:06] Yu**
I'm not quitting forever.
**[07:09] Yu**
Just spending time to broaden
my horizons until graduati—
**[07:11] Himari**
Stop, stop! Let's be rational.
**[07:13] Himari**
Here, have some juice!
**[07:16] Yu**
I don't want any.
**[07:22] Yu**
Himari, jeez...
**[07:24] Himari**
I-It's your fault!
**[07:27] Himari**
Saying you wanna quit out of nowhere.
**[07:29] Yu**
Like I said, only until we graduate.
**[07:32] Himari**
But I don't want you to quit.
**[07:35] Himari**
I've always told you.
**[07:36] Himari**
Your eyes shine brightest
when you make accessories.
**[07:42] Himari**
Come on, please?
**[07:44] Himari**
I'll do anything I can to help.
**[07:46] Yu**
So in your eyes, I'm worthless
if I'm not making accessories?
**[07:52] Himari**
I didn't say that.
**[07:54] Himari**
But it's our dream.
**[07:56] Yu**
Opening a store is *my* dream.
**[07:59] Yu**
No one else has the right
to force me to do it!
**[08:06] Himari**
Are you serious?
**[08:13] Yu**
Himari!
**[08:14] Rion**
Hii-chan!
**[08:25] Himari**
Fine, I get it.
**[08:27] Himari**
Have it your way!
**[08:45] Hibari**
Himari, dinner's ready.
**[08:48] Hibari**
Why haven't you changed yet?
**[08:52] Hibari**
Upset about something?
**[08:54] Himari**
Yu's apparently quitting
accessories until we graduate.
**[08:58] Hibari**
Let me guess...
**[09:00] Hibari**
You pushed Yu-kun too hard about
**[09:03] Hibari**
his next piece when he was at a low point?
**[09:07] Himari**
Because...!
**[09:11] Himari**
What if Yu really lost his passion?
**[09:17] Hibari**
Himari, you're finally catching on.
**[09:21] Hibari**
Good job. You did the right thing.
**[09:25] Hibari**
When I told you to stop lying,
**[09:27] Hibari**
I meant be honest with yourself.
**[09:30] Hibari**
So it's good that you told Yu-kun
how you really felt.
**[09:34] Himari**
Then Yu will understand, right?
**[09:39] Hibari**
Who knows?
**[09:41] Hibari**
Right now, there's nothing else we can do.
**[09:45] Hibari**
Yu-kun will have to
overcome this on his own.
**[09:49] Hibari**
After all, creativity
is about facing the self.
**[09:54] Hibari**
Yu-kun tried to reach
his goal, and as a result,
**[09:58] Hibari**
he got shot down
by the ill intent of others.
**[10:02] Hibari**
But that's inevitable
if he wants to pursue this path.
**[10:07] Hibari**
Can he laugh and shrug it off
**[10:10] Hibari**
when someone unfairly taints his work?
**[10:14] Hibari**
That's the crossroads he's at.
**[10:16] Hibari**
Only those who overcome
this can move forward.
**[10:20] Hibari**
No words of encouragement
or solace can do that for him.
**[10:25] Hibari**
Himari, what can you do right now?
**[10:29] Himari**
Didn't you just say
there's nothing I can do?
**[10:32] Hibari**
Sure, Yu-kun has to help himself back up.
**[10:36] Hibari**
But you have your own role as his partner.
**[10:39] Hibari**
As Yu-kun's best friend,
you've been spoiled by his kindness.
**[10:45] Hibari**
But when it comes to his accessories,
it's been the opposite.
**[10:48] Hibari**
Yu-kun's been spoiled by you, Himari.
**[10:51] Himari**
What do you mean?
**[10:53] Hibari**
Think back to when You
announced new releases.
**[10:55] Hibari**
Either you or Sakura-kun laid
the groundwork.
**[10:58] Hibari**
Like a playground frozen in time, Yu-kun's
talent was nurtured in a closed environment.
**[11:02] Hibari**
He was vulnerable to external exposure.
**[11:05] Hibari**
Before long, Yu-kun would need to
practice dealing with the outside world.
**[11:09] Hibari**
Feeling defeated, Yu-kun tried
to retreat back to his playground.
**[11:13] Hibari**
But you pushed back and told him no.
**[11:15] Hibari**
As his partner, you showed him the way out.
**[11:19] Hibari**
Now, it's Yu-kun's turn to answer the call.
**[11:22] Hibari**
Himari, if you truly share
destinies with Yu-kun,
**[11:26] Hibari**
what can you do for him
now as his best friend?
**[11:34] Yu**
About yesterday, that was my bad.
**[11:36] Yu**
I took it too far.
**[11:40] Himari**
Did Enocchi and Sakura-san tell you that?
**[11:43] Yu**
No, I know I was in the wrong.
**[11:46] Yu**
Besides, you've worked so hard for me—
**[11:47] Himari**
I'm not talking about that.
**[11:49] Himari**
What about your work?
**[11:54] Yu**
That's a done deal.
**[11:56] Yu**
I'm quitting until we graduate.
**[12:02] Himari**
If that's what you really want, fine.
**[12:05] Himari**
I'll quit being your best friend then.
**[12:09] Himari**
If you won't make accessories anymore,
**[12:11] Himari**
you and I are only acquaintances.
**[12:13] Yu**
A-Are you for real?
**[12:15] Yu**
Why are you getting so upset about this?
**[12:17] Yu**
Sure, I was wrong
for what I said yesterday, but—
**[12:20] Himari**
But you're still quitting, right?
**[12:24] Yu**
Well...
**[12:26] Himari**
Opening your store isn't just your dream.
**[12:28] Himari**
It's been mine for a long time, too!
**[12:30] Himari**
You can't just decide to quit on your own!
**[12:34] Himari**
Sure, I have fun with you,
and I'd like to stay best friends.
**[12:37] Himari**
But if you're gonna stomp on my dreams,
**[12:41] Himari**
then we're not friends.
**[12:44] Himari**
I refuse to play nice like Enocchi.
**[12:49] Himari**
Sorry, but I'm moving forward without you.
**[12:54] Yu**
You're one to talk.
You tried to quit, too.
**[13:02] Yu**
*After that...*
**[13:03] Yu**
*The weekend came and went without Himari.*
**[13:06] Classmate A**
Himari-chan! Whatcha up to today?
**[13:10] Himari**
I actually have plans today, sorry!
**[13:17] Rion**
Yu-kun.
***SIGN*** Natsume
**[13:23] Yu**
There, Enomoto-san!
**[13:24] Rion**
Got it!
**[13:25] Rion**
What? How?
**[13:28] Rion**
I'll get you this time!
**[13:32] Yu**
Enomoto-san, you gotta learn to aim.
**[13:34] Rion**
Aim? How do I do that?!
**[13:36] Yu**
So your screen stays stable.
**[13:38] Rion**
I can't figure it out!
**[13:42] Yu**
*She's so clueless.*
**[13:46] Rion**
I took down one person,
so I must be getting better.
**[13:49] Rion**
This is so much fun.
**[13:52] Yu**
Yeah, it sure is.
**[13:57] Rion**
Yu-kun, you're not a very good liar.
**[14:00] Yu**
I'm not lying. I have fun
playing games with you.
**[14:04] Rion**
Not as much as when
you're making accessories.
**[14:08] Yu**
That was until last week.
**[14:10] Yu**
Who wants to make accessories just
to go through all that?
**[14:13] Rion**
You're lying.
**[14:14] Rion**
You wouldn't be able to spend two years
with Hii-chan if you were that soft.
**[14:19] Yu**
That's none of your business.
**[14:21] Rion**
Sure it is.
**[14:22] Rion**
I decided to be number one. For both of you.
**[14:28] Yu**
What a drag.
**[14:30] Yu**
I said, "What a drag."
**[14:32] Yu**
What gives you the right to judge the
relationship between me and Himari?
**[14:35] Yu**
I hate how you stick your nose
in other people's business.
**[14:41] Rion**
I'm glad you feel comfortable
enough to say stuff like that.
**[14:44] Rion**
It's like I'm getting closer to Hii-chan.
**[14:47] Yu**
You've gotta be kidding!
**[14:49] Yu**
I'm pretty sure I just said
something really messed up.
**[14:52] Rion**
Like I said, it's obvious when you're lying.
**[14:57] Rion**
So it's no use.
**[15:01] Yu**
Can I ask you something?
**[15:12] Yu**
Here.
**[15:13] Yu**
Who does it look like I made this for?
**[15:17] Rion**
Hii-chan.
**[15:18] Yu**
I figured.
**[15:20] Yu**
In that moment, I didn't feel anything.
**[15:24] Yu**
Even though I sacrificed sleep to make it.
**[15:27] Yu**
I didn't even feel mad.
**[15:30] Yu**
So I asked myself.
**[15:31] Yu**
What's the passion behind my accessories?
**[15:35] Yu**
Why in the world am I making them?
**[15:39] Yu**
That was when I realized...
**[15:41] Yu**
I was only making accessories
so Himari would keep me around.
**[15:48] Yu**
So I wouldn't lose the first
person who understood what I loved.
**[15:51] Yu**
So I wouldn't lose my first best friend.
**[15:56] Yu**
I was just using people's
love lives as a stepping stone.
**[16:00] Yu**
All to make accessories for myself.
**[16:03] Yu**
I felt so disgusted with myself...
**[16:08] Yu**
For thinking love was so pure...
**[16:12] Yu**
For thinking my feelings were genuine.
**[16:16] Yu**
I couldn't have been more wrong.
**[16:19] Yu**
That's why I wanted to
quit making accessories.
**[16:23] Yu**
Otherwise, it wouldn't be right
to the craft or to customers.
**[16:28] Rion**
Yu-kun.
**[16:33] Rion**
Get over yourself!
**[16:35] Rion**
I think you're overthinking it.
**[16:38] Rion**
Loosen up a little.
**[16:41] Yu**
Loosen up?
**[16:43] Yu**
It'd be nice if I could
be as earnest as you.
**[16:48] Yu**
But I wouldn't have so much doubt
if that were the case.
**[16:51] Rion**
Me, earnest? How?
**[16:55] Yu**
I mean, you're always
helping your family's store.
**[16:58] Yu**
You work really hard in band.
**[17:00] Yu**
And you help me.
**[17:02] Rion**
I kinda hate helping at my family's store.
**[17:06] Rion**
I only joined band
because my friend asked me to.
**[17:09] Rion**
That's why I skip practice
sometimes, like today.
**[17:12] Rion**
I'm not earnest at all.
**[17:14] Rion**
And when you and Hii-chan are fighting,
**[17:18] Rion**
I like having you all to myself.
**[17:21] Rion**
I'm human, just like everyone else.
**[17:26] Rion**
Yu-kun, is it that weird I don't give
up when you turn me down?
**[17:30] Yu**
H-Honestly, yeah.
**[17:33] Rion**
I can't help it.
**[17:34] Rion**
I like you, Yu-kun.
**[17:37] Rion**
My world shines brighter
just hearing you say my name.
**[17:44] Rion**
That's the fifth time.
**[17:46] Rion**
I-I can't, sorry.
**[17:49] Rion**
Who cares if you make
accessories for Hii-chan?
**[17:54] Rion**
If that makes other
people happy, then great.
**[17:57] Rion**
If it happens to ruin someone's love life,
how's that your problem?
**[18:03] Rion**
I wouldn't mind if you
quit making accessories.
**[18:07] Rion**
If you find something else
you wanna do, I'd join you.
**[18:10] Rion**
If that lifts your spirits,
it'll make me happy, too.
**[18:14] Rion**
Which one do you choose?
**[18:16] Rion**
Me or Hii-chan?
**[18:20] Yu**
*If I could just quit making accessories,*
**[18:23] Yu**
* if I could just choose*
* Enomoto-san like this...*
**[18:25] Yu**
*I'm sure that would be a happy life.*
**[18:29] Yu**
*But it'd be a life without Himari.*
**[18:35] Yu**
Enomoto-san, I'm sorry.
**[18:39] Rion**
That's okay.
**[18:40] Rion**
I know I'm a good ten laps behind.
**[18:43] Rion**
But I think I just closed the gap to seven!
**[18:47] Yu**
You're so optimistic.
**[18:49] Rion**
Ready?
**[18:50] Rion**
Let's go.
**[18:58] Yu**
Himari...
**[18:59] Himari**
No outsiders allowed!
**[19:02] Yu**
Outsider? Come on, I apologized.
**[19:06] Himari**
But you're not making accessories, right?
**[19:08] Himari**
You better show some sincerity
if you want forgiveness.
**[19:12] Yu**
Sincerity?
**[19:13] Himari**
First, a monthly "Thank
You Himari-sama Day."
**[19:16] Himari**
You have to do whatever I want
for a day every—
**[19:21] Rion**
Hii-chan, don't you have
something to tell Yu-kun?
**[19:23] Himari**
Ow, ow. Okay, fine.
**[19:29] Himari**
Yu, you see, I...
**[19:33] Himari**
I lied about going to Tokyo.
**[19:36] Himari**
I'm sorry!
**[19:38] Yu**
After all this time?
**[19:46] Yu**
It's fine.
**[19:48] Yu**
Whether that part was true or not,
**[19:50] Yu**
it doesn't change the fact that
you're the most important to me.
**[19:57] Yu**
What the—
**[19:58] Yu**
What are you doing?
**[20:01] Rion**
I-I'll go get a towel!
**[20:05] Himari**
Even if you say you're quitting,
**[20:08] Himari**
I still love watching you make accessories.
**[20:12] Himari**
More than anything in the world!
**[20:15] Himari**
So let me know when you wanna start again.
**[20:19] Himari**
I'll be waiting here forever.
**[20:22] Himari**
This taught me... that's my answer.
**[20:27] Yu**
That's not why I said I wanted to quit.
**[20:32] Yu**
I realized.
**[20:33] Yu**
The reason why I made accessories
all this time was to make you happy.
**[20:37] Yu**
I felt so guilty towards
the customers, I panicked.
**[20:42] Yu**
I'm sorry.
**[20:47] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[20:50] Himari**
Gosh, Yu! You really just
can't get enough of me!
**[20:55] Himari**
I basically *have* to forgive you
when you put it like that!
**[20:58] Himari**
You want *that* badly to make up
with the beautiful Himari-chan?
**[21:04] Yu**
Man, you're talkative.
**[21:06] Himari**
*Well duh!*
**[21:07] Himari**
*Even I'm blushing over that.*
**[21:10] Himari**
Take this!
**[21:14] Himari**
If you like me so much,
wanna actually go out?
**[21:21] Yu**
Anyone but you, Himari!
**[21:22] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[21:25] Yu**
*And so, the rainy season ended.*
**[21:28] Yu**
* And my second summer break*
* of high school was drawing near...*
**[21:37] Kureha**
No way.
**[21:38] Kureha**
Shinji-kun, you're the one picking me up?
**[21:41] Makishima**
My brother's busy today.
**[21:42] Makishima**
I'll take your luggage.
**[21:44] Kureha**
Aww, thanks.
**[21:46] Makishima**
Why the sudden trip?
**[21:47] Makishima**
You're not here to see Rin-chan, are you?
**[21:49] Kureha**
Of course not!
**[21:51] Kureha**
I came to scold that junior
who dragged my name, that's all.
**[21:56] Makishima**
Is that so?
**[21:58] Makishima**
Mind if I get in on that?
**[22:00] Makishima**
Kureha-san.

'Sup, Natsume! Morning.

M-Morning.
**[01:34] Sawamura**
Nice, is this new?
**[01:36] (Flashback) Yu**
I borrowed it from my sister.
**[01:38] (Flashback) Sawamura**
That's cool.
**[01:40] Yu**
*One minor new development...*

Figures why it's girly.

Is it weird?

*I made a friend besides Himari.*

Nah, you pull it off.

By the way, where's Himari-chan?

Ha! Gotcha!

Hey, Himari-chan. Morning!

Morning!

**[02:05] (Flashback) Himari**
Hey, nice coat.
**[02:07] (Flashback) Himari**
Where'd you get it?
**[02:08] (Flashback) Sawamura**
It's his sister's.
**[02:10] (Flashback) Himari**
Oh, no wonder it's so cute.

*Before I knew it, we were a group of three.*
**[02:18] (Flashback) Himari**
Yu!

It's almost time for the Christmas exhibit!
**[02:21] (Flashback) Himari**
Have you decided on the flowers?

F-For the most part.
**[02:26] Yu**
* My life's been fun*
* ever since meeting Himari.*
**[02:30] Yu**
*As long as she likes my work, it's worth it.*
**[02:34] (Flashback) Sawamura**
Hey, about Christmas...
**[02:37] (Flashback) Sawamura**
Himari-chan mentioned
having plans that day, right?
**[02:40] (Flashback) Yu**
What? Really?
**[02:42] (Flashback) Yu**
She said she was coming to the exhibit.
**[02:46] (Flashback) Sawamura**
Natsume, I've got a huge favor to ask.
**[02:49] (Flashback) Sawamura**
Could I have some time alone
with Himari-chan on Christmas?
**[02:54] Yu**
* It's not like she needs*
* to be at the exhibit.*
**[02:59] Yu**
* Besides, I don't want Himari*
* hating romance forever.*
**[03:05] Yu**
* So I lied and said that the*
* exhibit was canceled.*
**[03:08] Yu**
*I hope it works out between them.*

Kadoya
**[03:14] (Flashback) Yu**
Sensei.
**[03:16] (Flashback) Yu**
Say you had a friend that
was better off with someone else.
**[03:21] (Flashback) Yu**
I think true friendship
is about letting them
**[03:24] (Flashback) Yu**
spend time with that
other person over yourself.
**[03:28] (Flashback) Yu**
What do you think?
**[03:31] (Flashback) Yumi**
Hmm...
**[03:32] (Flashback) Yumi**
It's like with flowers.
**[03:35] (Flashback) Yumi**
Sometimes, flowers grow better
when you plant two or three seeds together.
**[03:39] (Flashback) Yumi**
Instead of just one by itself.
**[03:42] Yu**
*Wait, is that even true?*
**[03:48] (Flashback) Himari**
Hey, you!
**[03:50] (Flashback) Himari**
No slacking at the reception desk.
**[03:53] (Flashback) Yu**
Wh-What are you doing here?
**[03:55] (Flashback) Himari**
I visited your place
and they said you were here.
**[03:59] (Flashback) Yu**
Yeah... well...
**[04:02] (Flashback) Yu**
Why didn't you hang out with him?
**[04:04] (Flashback) Himari**
I did. Not for long, though.
**[04:07] (Flashback) Himari**
I only went because he said you'd be there.
**[04:11] (Flashback) Himari**
By the way, what was that all about?
**[04:14] (Flashback) Himari**
He was all serious
and confessed his love to me.
**[04:17] (Flashback) Himari**
So gross. That kind of tactic is the worst.
**[04:19] (Flashback) Yu**
B-But he's a good guy.
**[04:22] (Flashback) Yu**
I was just hoping you two
would be happy together.
**[04:26] (Flashback) Himari**
Yu, are you serious?
**[04:28] (Flashback) Himari**
That guy used you to get closer to me.
**[04:31] (Flashback) Himari**
He's been trying to get with me
**[04:33] (Flashback) Himari**
before you and I started hanging out.
**[04:35] (Flashback) Himari**
I kept quiet hoping he genuinely
wanted to be friends with you.
**[04:46] (Flashback) Himari**
So no more cheating on me, okay?
**[04:51] (Flashback) Yu**
Who's cheating?
**[04:58] (Flashback) Himari**
Is this one yours?
**[05:01] (Flashback) Yu**
How did you know?
**[05:03] (Flashback) Himari**
Don't tell me, was I your main inspo?
**[05:06] (Flashback) Yu**
Wh-Why do you ask?
**[05:08] (Flashback) Himari**
The meaning of my name.
**[05:09] (Flashback) Himari**
"Himari" means "sunflower."
**[05:12] (Flashback) Yu**
Th-That's just a coincidence.
**[05:18] Yu**
*I lied.*
**[05:20] Yu**
*I made that piece for Himari.*
**[05:23] Yu**
*The sunflowers mean...*
**[05:25] Yu**
*"I only see you."*
**[05:28] Yu**
*Like Himari's friendship.*
**[05:30] Yu**
*Straight as an arrow.*
**[05:33] (Flashback) Himari**
Hey, Yu.
**[05:35] (Flashback) Himari**
If you care about me,
don't go trying to set me up.
**[05:40] (Flashback) Yu**
Huh?
**[05:40] (Flashback) Himari**
If I end up with someone else,
that would leave you all alone.
**[05:45] (Flashback) Himari**
That's not good.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Himari**
You and I are best friends.
**[05:48] (Flashback) Yu**
But there's no way we'd each
find someone at the same time.
**[05:52] (Flashback) Himari**
Probably!
**[05:54] (Flashback) Himari**
But we should fix
that bad habit of yours first.
**[05:57] (Flashback) Yu**
I guess I'll do my best.
**[06:01] (Flashback) Himari**
Promise you'll only see me forever?
**[06:06] (Flashback) Yu**
I'm your only best friend after all.
**[06:09] (Flashback) Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[06:19] (Flashback) Yu**
So?
**[06:20] (Flashback) Yu**
What do you think about this wreath?
**[06:22] (Flashback) Himari**
Hmm... Five out of ten!
**[06:25] (Flashback) Himari**
It's good, but it feels incomplete.
**[06:28] (Flashback) Himari**
I wish you'd get to know me better first.
**[06:33] (Flashback) Himari**
One day, when you feel complete...
**[06:37] (Flashback) Himari**
Promise to show me first!
**[06:43] Himari**
*Ever since I was little,*
**[06:45] Himari**
*I was always bad at making stuff.*
**[06:49] Himari**
*Hey, look at that cutie.*
**[06:51] Himari**
* Whatever. The world's full of*
* good-looking people.*
**[06:56] Himari**
* Even a pretty girl like me*
* has worries on her mind.*
**[07:02] Himari**
This one needs water, too.
**[07:05] Himari**
*Chocolate cosmos.*
**[07:06] Himari**
*Obviously, they smell like chocolate.*
**[07:09] Himari**
*They bloom in the fall.*
**[07:11] Himari**
Yu!
**[07:12] Himari**
Good morning!
**[07:17] Himari**
Morning!
**[07:22] Himari**
*He's texting Enocchi.*
**[07:25] Himari**
Hey, Yu?
**[07:26] Yu**
'S-Sup, Himari. Morning.
**[07:29] Himari**
Hey, it's dangerous to text while you walk.
**[07:32] Yu**
R-Right...
**[07:34] Himari**
*Look up already!*
**[07:35] Himari**
*It's like he's glued to the screen.*
**[07:38] Himari**
*I'm not giving up, though!*
**[07:40] Himari**
Have any plans for summer break?
**[07:43] Yu**
Oh yeah, it starts soon.
**[07:45] Himari**
Accessories are great and all,
**[07:46] Himari**
but next year will be all
about entrance exams.
**[07:49] Himari**
This may be our last summer to have fun!
**[07:52] Himari**
Wanna spend the night, just the two of us?
**[07:55] Yu**
A-A-Are you stupid?
**[07:57] Yu**
We can't do that!
**[07:58] Himari**
Why not? We're best friends!
**[08:01] Himari**
Nothing can come between us!
**[08:02] Yu**
S-Sure, but still...
**[08:04] Himari**
Or let me guess.
**[08:07] Himari**
Are you *actually* into me like that?
**[08:11] Yu**
O-Of course not.
**[08:14] Himari**
Stop, Yu!
**[08:15] Himari**
I'm just jokin—
**[08:17] Rion**
Morning, Hii-chan.
**[08:18] Himari**
Oh hey, Enocchi.
**[08:20] Rion**
Let's go, Yu-kun!
**[08:23] Yu**
Y-Yeah.
**[08:25] Rion**
Hii-chan, I can't wait for our sleepover!
**[08:32] Himari**
*What's on my mind, you ask?*
**[08:35] Himari**
* Yu's been too busy paying attention*
* to Enocchi recently.*
**[08:39] Rion**
Yu-kun! Open wide!
**[08:42] Yu**
Ahh...
**[08:44] Yu**
I-I think that's enough.
**[08:47] Rion**
I found somewhere away from others
so you wouldn't get embarrassed.
**[08:51] Yu**
Yeah, but still...
**[08:52] Yu**
It's embarrassing enough
without anyone watching.
**[08:56] Rion**
I wouldn't complain too much, if I were you.
**[08:58] Yu**
*Enomoto-san, help!*
***SIGN*** Enomoto-san, HELP
***SIGN*** Himari was waiting for me!
**[09:00] Yu**
*Himari was waiting for me.*
***SIGN*** Please! Please text back.
**[09:01] Yu**
*Please! Please text back.*
***SIGN*** Himari's talking about a sleepover.
***SIGN*** I can't do this anymore, she's too cute.
**[09:02] Yu**
*Himari's talking about a sleepover.*
**[09:02] Yu**
*I can't do this anymore, she's too cute.*
***SIGN*** I'm gonna lose my best friend.
***SIGN*** Don't leave me on read
***SIGN*** I'll do anything!
***SIGN*** Please help
**[09:06] Yu**
*I feel violated.*
**[09:10] Rion**
That drink isn't allowed when it's just us.
**[09:12] Rion**
It's rude to bring
in reminders of another girl.
**[09:16] Rion**
Here.
**[09:18] Yu**
Don't say it like that.
**[09:20] Rion**
She's my rival at this point!
**[09:23] Rion**
If you find her too cute to be her friend,
just tell her how you feel.
**[09:28] Rion**
Yu-kun, do you even *want* to date Hii-chan?
**[09:33] Yu**
I dunno.
**[09:34] Yu**
I like Himari, but opening
my store comes before love.
**[09:41] Rion**
Yup, you tend to make
things difficult like that.
**[09:47] Rion**
But I admire that.
**[09:49] Rion**
It means you want both love and your dream.
**[09:53] Rion**
You're so honest with yourself,
and I love that about you.
**[09:59] Rion**
Take your sweet time with Hii-chan.
**[10:01] Rion**
That way, I still have a chance to catch up!
**[10:03] Yu**
I wish I had that mental fortitude.
**[10:10] Yu**
* Everyone's busy practicing*
* for the tournament.*
**[10:12] Himari**
Yu!
**[10:14] Himari**
Let's go shopping when
you're done watering flowers!
**[10:18] Yu**
*Himari's soft, supple skin!*
**[10:19] Yu**
*Calm down, this is nothing new!*
**[10:22] Yu**
Shopping? What for?
**[10:24] Himari**
Yup! I want a swimsuit for summer break!
**[10:28] Yu**
S-Swimsuit? Are you crazy?!
**[10:30] Yu**
Asking a guy you're not even dating
to help you pick out a swim—
**[10:35] Yu**
*Hang on.*
**[10:36] Yu**
*I did that last year.*
**[10:38] Yu**
*What was I even thinking back then?*
**[10:41] Yu**
Then let's invite Enomoto-san.
**[10:44] Himari**
Why Enocchi?
**[10:46] Himari**
Never mind, that's fine.
**[10:47] Himari**
You'd probably invite her anyways.
**[10:49] Yu**
Th-Then I'll go find her!
**[10:55] Yu**
Hey, Enomoto-san.
**[10:59] Yu**
*Himari's arch nemesis, Iron Claw!*
**[11:01] Yu**
Ouch...
**[11:03] Rion**
"Himari wants to shop for swimsuits.
Help, Enomoto-san!"
**[11:08] Rion**
You're not inviting me to see
*me* in a swimsuit, are you?
**[11:12] Yu**
I-I'm sorry!
**[11:14] Yu**
This seemed like a "Bwa-ha!" situation,
so I recruited your support.
**[11:19] Rion**
Don't go then.
**[11:21] Yu**
B-But she's my best friend.
**[11:26] Yu**
*"All that genuine talk for what?"*
**[11:28] Yu**
*"You're like any other guy."*
**[11:30] Yu**
*I wanna see Himari in a swimsuit. Sue me.*
**[11:34] Rion**
I have band practice today,
so you'll have to survive on your own.
**[11:39] Yu**
O-Okay.
**[11:41] Girl 1**
That's cute!
**[11:42] Girl 2**
You're way too close!
**[11:44] Himari**
Yu, what do you think?
**[11:46] Yu**
I-I should go hom—
**[11:47] Himari**
Come on!
**[11:48] Yu**
You're choking me!
**[11:50] Yu**
Pick something out yourself!
**[11:52] Yu**
You're not one to care what others think.
**[11:55] Himari**
Yeah, but...
**[11:56] Himari**
I'm getting this to show you.
**[11:58] Himari**
I wanna get something you'll like.
**[12:00] Yu**
O-Oh.
**[12:03] Himari**
What's this, Yu-kun?
**[12:05] Himari**
Are you blushing, by chance?
**[12:07] Yu**
Sh-Shut up.
**[12:08] Yu**
Stop teasing me like that.
**[12:09] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[12:10] Himari**
I swear, you'll fall for that forever.
**[12:14] Himari**
Let's go inside!
**[12:17] Yu**
Y-Yeah, let's start over there.
**[12:23] Himari**
*The innocent dress type?*
**[12:25] Himari**
*Or the vibrant two-piece?*
**[12:28] Himari**
Look at all these florals!
**[12:30] Himari**
Which one do you like?
**[12:31] Yu**
*Touché, Himari!*
**[12:32] Yu**
* She knows I like cute designs*
* more than raunchy ones!*
**[12:37] Yu**
Th-They all look fine.
**[12:39] Himari**
Then lemme try them on!
**[12:42] Yu**
*I feel so uncomfortable...*
**[12:44] Himari**
Yu!
**[12:46] Yu**
Y-You done?
**[12:47] Himari**
Guess what?
**[12:49] Himari**
I actually have a super
raunchy piece on right now.
**[12:56] Yu**
You weren't looking at anything like that!
**[13:00] Himari**
Oh, but I was!
**[13:02] Himari**
With tiny straps.
**[13:03] Yu**
Y-You liar!
**[13:04] Yu**
They don't even sell those designs out here!
**[13:08] Himari**
You sure about that?
**[13:10] Yu**
*Th-This is where she usually goes, "Bwa-ha!"*
**[13:12] Yu**
* But what if she's telling*
* the truth? I'd die!*
**[13:20] Yu**
S-Sorry, gotta go!
**[13:27] Yu**
*I chickened out.*
**[13:28] Yu**
*How can she pull that shit in public?*
**[13:33] Sakura**
Hey, idiot.
**[13:35] Sakura**
You have a guest.
**[13:42] Kureha**
Nice to meet you.
**[13:43] Kureha**
I'm Kureha Enomoto.
**[13:47] Kureha**
Shinji-kun's told me all about you, Yu-chan.
**[13:50] Kureha**
I've heard you're good friends with Rion.
**[13:53] Yu**
Kureha-san, you know Makishima?
**[13:56] Kureha**
Yup, we're old neighbors.
**[13:58] Yu**
Oh...
**[13:59] Sakura**
So, Kureha.
**[14:01] Sakura**
What's your visit about?
**[14:03] Kureha**
Right, I totally forgot.
**[14:06] Kureha**
Can I have your Himari-chan? Pretty please?
**[14:14] Himari**
Scumbag womanizer. Come here.
**[14:19] Himari**
Hey. Yu's been acting weird lately.
**[14:23] Himari**
You got in his head again, didn't you?
**[14:25] Makishima**
Natsu? Acting weird?
**[14:26] Himari**
He's been avoiding me like the plague.
**[14:29] Himari**
And he always makes sure Enocchi tags along.
**[14:34] Makishima**
Well isn't it obvious?
**[14:36] Makishima**
Natsu's finally fed up with you.
**[14:38] Makishima**
He's switched over to Rin-chan.
**[14:41] Himari**
Would you bet your racket on that?
**[14:43] Makishima**
Wait.
**[14:44] Makishima**
No roughhousing with the racket.
**[14:51] Himari**
Ugh, that's totally unfair.
**[14:53] Makishima**
Give me my racket.
**[14:57] Makishima**
To tell you the truth,
I haven't done anything.
**[15:00] Makishima**
Or rather, I have no reason to do anything.
**[15:03] Makishima**
Luckily, Kureha-san took care of that.
**[15:07] Yu**
*The chocolate cosmos represents...*
**[15:10] Yu**
*"The end of love."*
**[15:12] Kureha**
I'm sure you've heard about this,
**[15:15] Kureha**
but Himari-chan was
supposed to join our agency.
**[15:19] Kureha**
She made it sound like she was coming,
**[15:21] Kureha**
then suddenly quit out of nowhere.
**[15:25] Yu**
I-I'm sorry to cause you trouble.
**[15:28] Kureha**
It's okay. I'm not mad.
**[15:31] Kureha**
I only came up with the idea
and convinced the CEO.
**[15:34] Kureha**
And funded all expenses out of pocket.
**[15:38] Kureha**
All to get kicked
to the curb by Himari-chan.
**[15:41] Kureha**
Why would I be mad?
**[15:45] Kureha**
I came to talk business with you, Yu-chan.
**[15:48] Yu**
Business?
**[15:49] Kureha**
Can you talk to Himari-chan
so she joins our agency?
**[15:54] Yu**
But Himari and I have—
**[15:56] Kureha**
I've heard.
**[15:57] Kureha**
You have a dream to open your own store.
**[15:59] Kureha**
But this is the middle of nowhere.
**[16:02] Kureha**
Don't you think that's a bit unrealistic?
**[16:05] Kureha**
I'm not asking you to give that up for free.
**[16:08] Yu**
What's that for?
**[16:10] Kureha**
Duh, silly!
**[16:12] Kureha**
It's in exchange for Himari-chan.
**[16:14] Kureha**
I'll pay you cash in advance
for her future earnings.
**[16:20] Kureha**
Oh right! And models, too.
**[16:23] Kureha**
You'll need a girl to take her place.
**[16:26] Kureha**
Feel free to pick anyone
you like from our agency.
**[16:29] Yu**
I've heard enough!
**[16:31] Yu**
Himari isn't a thing you can buy!
**[16:33] Yu**
No money or model will change my mind!
**[16:37] Yu**
It's my dream to open
a store together with Himari.
**[16:39] Yu**
If I can't do it with her,
none of it matters!
**[16:45] Kureha**
Oh, I get it.
**[16:47] Kureha**
She's super important to you.
**[16:49] Kureha**
I totally get why. She's so cute!
**[16:52] Kureha**
Honestly, it's pure talent.
**[16:56] Kureha**
But isn't it a shame?
**[16:58] Kureha**
She's basically squashing
that for someone else's mediocre talent.
**[17:04] Yu**
Are you saying
I'm squashing Himari's talent?
**[17:08] Kureha**
Yup!
**[17:10] Kureha**
Honestly, even in middle school,
your pieces were pretty amateur.
**[17:17] Kureha**
And your work now
is hardly more than ordinary.
**[17:24] Kureha**
You're crushing your best friend's
talent for selfish reasons.
**[17:28] Kureha**
Would you call that true friendship?
**[17:31] Kureha**
Oh, wait!
**[17:33] Kureha**
You're not business partners.
**[17:36] Kureha**
You just can't let Himari-chan go
because you like her.
**[17:39] Yu**
Th-That's not true.
**[17:41] Kureha**
So what's your choice?
**[17:43] Kureha**
If you can devote your life to loving her,
**[17:46] Kureha**
I'll let you come to Tokyo with us.
**[17:49] Kureha**
But you'll have to give up your dream.
**[17:56] Yu**
*I don't think she's right.*
**[17:59] Yu**
*But... could this be Himari's big break?*
**[18:03] Kureha**
See, you can't commit either way.
**[18:06] Kureha**
You two just wanna have fun.
**[18:09] Kureha**
Neither of you are serious
about your dreams.
**[18:13] Hibari**
Stop right there!
**[18:14] Hibari**
I won't let you lay a finger on Yu-kun!
**[18:17] Kureha**
Hibari-kun.
**[18:19] Sakura**
Oops, I forgot to lock the door.
**[18:22] Yu**
Hibari-san, how did you know?
**[18:24] Hibari**
Himari called, so I rushed over.
**[18:28] Hibari**
Kureha-kun, I see you've been toying
with my dear Yu-kun.
**[18:34] Kureha**
I would never! I was just talking business.
**[18:39] Hibari**
Business would involve merit
for both parties.
**[18:43] Hibari**
I see you haven't changed one bit.
**[18:44] Yu**
Saku-nee-san, are those two...
**[18:45] Hibari**
True business is about
achieving mutual benefits.
**[18:47] Sakura**
Can't you tell? They're exes.
**[18:51] Hibari**
I won't allow Himari and Yu-kun's
friendship to suffer a single blow.
**[18:58] Kureha**
There's that tough guy front again.
**[19:01] Kureha**
Here.
**[19:06] Yu**
Hibari-san?!
**[19:08] Kureha**
Stay out of it unless you want this
video plastered all over the internet.
**[19:12] Hibari**
Please, don't! Kureha-kun!
**[19:15] Hibari**
That has nothing to do with this!
**[19:16] Kureha**
*You* have nothing to do with this.
**[19:23] Kureha**
Remember how you swore off real women?
**[19:27] Kureha**
You can't touch my phone
as long as it's tucked in here.
**[19:30] Hibari**
Why you—!
**[19:31] Hibari**
Then... take this!
**[19:35] Kureha**
So scary!
**[19:38] Kureha**
Sakura-chan, here!
**[19:40] Sakura**
Don't drag me into this.
**[19:47] Hibari**
You can't blackmail me anymo—
**[19:49] Kureha**
I have twenty backups
for work, just in case!
**[19:52] Hibari**
You tricked me!
**[19:54] Yu**
I've never seen this side of Hibari-san...
**[19:57] Sakura**
He's always been like this.
**[19:59] Sakura**
Why don't you two get back together already?
**[20:02] Hibari/Kureha**
No way!
**[20:04] Sakura**
We're getting nowhere
with you two doing the talking.
**[20:09] Sakura**
Kureha, you may think
you're doing the right thing,
**[20:12] Sakura**
but you can't push your ideals onto others.
**[20:17] Sakura**
I get why you see yourself in Himari-chan.
**[20:21] Sakura**
But you hated being told what
to do more than anyone.
**[20:27] Kureha**
I knew I shouldn't have
asked Sakura-chan for help.
**[20:30] Kureha**
You're always the voice of reason.
**[20:34] Kureha**
I've changed my mind!
**[20:36] Kureha**
Yu-chan, let's go head to head.
**[20:38] Yu**
Head to head?
**[20:39] Kureha**
Take the summer to make
your best masterpiece.
**[20:44] Kureha**
Prove me wrong with
the quality of your work.
**[20:48] Kureha**
You should be thanking me
for even considering this option.
**[20:53] Hibari**
What do you mean?
**[20:54] Kureha**
Like I said, I've been paying
for Himari-chan out of pocket.
**[20:58] Kureha**
I don't know any high schooler
who'd be able to pay this off.
**[21:03] Sakura**
Kureha, you mean
if my idiot brother said no,
**[21:07] Sakura**
you were planning to blackmail
Himari-chan with debt?
**[21:09] Kureha**
You're so smart, Sakura-chan! Yup!
**[21:13] Kureha**
The only person who can help Himari-chan
is her best friend Yu-chan.
**[21:17] Kureha**
Are you in?
**[21:27] Yu**
If I win, will you wipe her slate clean?
**[21:31] Kureha**
Sure!
**[21:32] Kureha**
If I lose, I'll give up
Himari-chan and the money.
**[21:36] Kureha**
But if I win, hand her over to me.
**[21:41] Yu**
Alright.
**[21:43] Kureha**
The theme is "memories of summer."
**[21:45] Kureha**
You have until the Obon festival in August.
**[21:48] Kureha**
I'll be back then!
**[21:55] Yu**
* Are my accessories really*
* worth Himari's devotion?*
**[22:00] Yu**
*It was time to put that to the test.*

***SIGN*** The Meaning Behind Sunflowers
**[01:35] Yu**
Memories of summer...
**[01:37] Himari**
*What?! Go head-to-head?*
**[01:40] (Flashback) Himari**
Sounds like this only got out of hand
because of Onii-chan!
**[01:44] (Flashback) Hibari**
I won't deny that.
**[01:47] (Flashback) Himari**
There's no way Yu can win
if he's getting judged by Kureha-san!
**[01:50] (Flashback) Himari**
I'll just decline her offer,
and you can pay off my debt!
**[01:56] (Flashback) Hibari**
We're only in this mess because
you lied about going to Tokyo.
**[02:00] (Flashback) Hibari**
*You're* liable for this!
**[02:02] (Flashback) Hibari**
The Inuzuka Family won't get involved!
**[02:04] (Flashback) Himari**
Come on! Have a heart!
**[02:07] (Flashback) Rion**
I still can't believe she
wants Yu-kun to pay this off.
**[02:11] (Flashback) Rion**
She's rotten to the core.
**[02:14] (Flashback) Rion**
Next time she's home, I'll take her to Mom
if I have to drag her myself.
**[02:18] (Flashback) Sakura**
Kureha will resort to anything
if it means meeting her goal.
**[02:23] (Flashback) Sakura**
She channeled all her negative energy
into getting to the top, after all.
**[02:27] (Flashback) Yu**
Negative energy?
**[02:29] (Flashback) Sakura**
Like when people make fun of her.
**[02:31] (Flashback) Sakura**
It just fuels her fire.
**[02:33] (Flashback) Sakura**
She's the opposite of you.
**[02:34] (Flashback) Yu**
Y-Yeah.
**[02:36] (Flashback) Sakura**
You work hard for people who support you.
**[02:39] (Flashback) Sakura**
To her, you guys aren't passionate enough.
**[02:43] (Flashback) Sakura**
Not that there's a right or wrong.
**[02:46] (Flashback) Himari**
Then what if I ran away?
**[02:48] (Flashback) Sakura**
Knowing Kureha, she'll stick to the rules.
**[02:51] (Flashback) Sakura**
But I imagine she'll at least
open her own store next to yours.
**[02:54] (Flashback) Sakura**
Then invest a bunch of money
to put you out of business.
**[02:59] (Flashback) Yu**
That's not even funny.
**[03:03] (Flashback) Hibari**
Yu-kun, no need to worry.
**[03:06] (Flashback) Hibari**
If you lose, feel free to hand Himari over.
**[03:08] (Flashback) Hibari**
That way, you can open your store with me!
**[03:11] (Flashback) Yu**
Thanks, I'll make sure not to lose then!
**[03:15] (Flashback) Hibari**
Anyways, just do your best as usual.
**[03:19] (Flashback) Hibari**
Remember, I'm here because I fell
for your accessories.
**[03:24] (Flashback) Yu**
Y-Yeah.
**[03:25] (Flashback) Yu**
Either way, I have to win
for Himari to stay.
**[03:30] Yu**
*That's right. I have no time to waste.*
**[03:33] Yu**
* I've been spoiled by the people*
* around me for too long.*
**[03:37] Yu**
* My work has to attract*
* people who don't know me.*
**[03:40] Yu**
* Like Saku-nee-san said,*
* I can't stay frozen in time!*
**[03:47] Himari**
There he is. Yu!
**[03:52] Himari**
Come on, let's go look for summer memories!
**[03:56] Yu**
That sounded so cheesy.
Even I feel embarrassed.
**[04:00] Himari**
Well it's summer break.
**[04:02] Himari**
This is the cheesiest time of our lives!
**[04:05] Yu**
Don't forget, you're
the one who's on the line here.
**[04:10] Himari**
It's fine, I know you'll win!
**[04:12] Himari**
And I have a backup plan just in case.
**[04:14] Yu**
Backup plan?
**[04:17] Himari**
I'll join their agency then quit right away!
**[04:19] Yu**
You know, that's how you
always set people off.
**[04:23] Yu**
Besides, that means you'd
have to drop out of school.
**[04:26] Himari**
Like that's a problem?
**[04:27] Himari**
You'd take care of me for life, right?
**[04:29] Yu**
D-Don't phrase it like that!
It's misleading.
**[04:33] Yu**
We'll be co-owners. Okay?
**[04:35] Himari**
Phrase it like what?
**[04:38] Yu**
Well, I mean... it sounds like...
**[04:40] Yu**
Marriage, you know?
**[04:42] Himari**
Huh?
**[04:46] Himari**
When have I ever said
that I *don't* mean it like that?
**[04:52] Himari**
You promised to only have eyes
for me, remember?
**[04:57] Yu**
Himari, I promise
to win against Kureha-san—
**[05:04] Himari**
Bwa-ha!
**[05:06] Himari**
It's been a while since I got you!
**[05:07] Yu**
Himari!
**[05:11] Himari**
You've been kinda cold recently.
**[05:14] Himari**
Make me "Bwa-ha!" some more.
**[05:16] Yu**
What kind of a request is that?
**[05:18] Rion**
Yu-kun, Hii-chan.
**[05:21] Himari**
Hey, Enocchi!
**[05:23] Himari**
I was just saying how Yu's been cold.
**[05:25] Himari**
Comfort me!
**[05:26] Rion**
I bet you probably said something rude.
**[05:30] Yu**
*Man, her distrust in Himari is palpable.*
**[05:34] Rion**
Yu-kun, let's go look for summer memories.
**[05:38] Background chatter A**
See ya!
**[05:39] Background chatter B**
Take care!
**[05:47] Hibari**
Maybe you should be more
mindful of what you eat.
**[05:50] Hibari**
It could affect your performance.
**[05:54] Makishima**
Is that supposed to be advice?
**[05:56] Makishima**
Everyone has their own pace.
**[05:58] Makishima**
I'm only working at the best pace for me.
**[06:01] Hibari**
That's certainly impressive.
**[06:04] Hibari**
Speaking of which, looks like
Kureha-kun got you off your game.
**[06:08] Hibari**
Let me guess. You offered
to help and she declined?
**[06:14] Makishima**
Nice theory.
**[06:15] Makishima**
But I'd say you're the one getting played.
**[06:20] Makishima**
Let's see... She tried
to blackmail you with a video?
**[06:23] Hibari**
I'd prefer to think of it as
providing her with entertainment.
**[06:27] Makishima**
You came all the way here
to keep me in check,
**[06:30] Makishima**
but I'm afraid it won't work on me.
**[06:33] Makishima**
I support Natsu and his work.
**[06:36] Makishima**
But not as much as I support Rin-chan.
**[06:39] Hibari**
Keep you in check? Of course not.
**[06:41] Hibari**
As long as Yu-kun can
pour his all into his work,
**[06:45] Hibari**
that's all that matters.
**[06:48] Hibari**
You focus on tennis, and don't
worry about anything else.
**[06:55] Himari**
So?
**[06:56] Himari**
Did you come up with any summer memories?
**[07:00] Yu**
Nope.
**[07:01] Yu**
It's such a common theme.
**[07:03] Yu**
And way too broad.
**[07:04] Yu**
Not to mention, I can't get
on the same page with this "client."
**[07:08] Himari**
Try starting with scenery then!
**[07:11] Himari**
Why not take a bunch of pictures
**[07:13] Himari**
then try to match that with a flower later?
**[07:16] Yu**
So the opposite of when
Enomoto-san first modeled for us?
**[07:19] Yu**
I'm not very good at that, though.
**[07:22] Himari**
How about Enocchi
and I come up with some ideas?
**[07:26] Rion**
Hii-chan, you can only come up
with raunchy stuff.
**[07:29] Himari**
No way!
**[07:31] Himari**
I'm a high school girl, you know!
**[07:33] Rion**
You don't usually act like it.
**[07:36] Rion**
Do you have any ideas?
**[07:45] Himari**
It's dusk.
**[07:47] Himari**
I'm a guy walking home after club practice.
**[07:50] Himari**
Together with my childhood friend.
**[07:54] Yu**
Oh, you're storytelling?
**[07:57] Himari**
Suddenly, rain starts falling.
**[08:00] Himari**
We find shelter, but we're soaking wet.
**[08:03] Himari**
I look at her sheer—
**[08:05] Yu**
Sheer?
**[08:07] Himari**
Her sheer shirt and pink bra!
**[08:10] Himari**
I couldn't help myself but—
**[08:11] Yu**
Scratch that idea.
**[08:13] Yu**
No raunchy stuff allowed!
**[08:14] Rion**
I don't wanna be Hii-chan's
number one, after all.
**[08:18] Himari**
Don't be so rude.
**[08:19] Himari**
What about you then, Enocchi?
**[08:21] Himari**
You've always liked girly manga.
**[08:23] Himari**
I'm sure you have a scenario in mind!
**[08:26] Rion**
Well... I'm not picky or anything.
**[08:31] Rion**
Anywhere's fine if it's with Yu-kun.
**[08:33] Yu**
No one's talking
about their ideal first time!
**[08:37] Himari**
Enocchi, you dirty girl!
**[08:38] Yu**
Himari, no teasing!
**[08:41] Himari**
But we're talking about her first time.
**[08:42] Rion**
I'm good anywhere.
**[08:44] Himari**
W-Well so am I.
**[08:45] Yu**
*I guess we'll start with obvious ideas.*
**[08:46] Rion**
Then we're both good.
**[09:03] Himari**
Take this, Enocchi!
**[09:05] Rion**
Hii-chan, that was cold!
**[09:12] Yu**
They look the part.
**[09:13] Himari**
How was that?
**[09:14] Yu**
I got a few good shots.
**[09:17] Rion**
Did you have to splash me that much?
**[09:20] Himari**
My bad.
**[09:21] Himari**
You can stop by my place
and I'll take it out for cleaning.
**[09:25] Rion**
But your clothes won't fit me.
**[09:28] Himari**
Are you dissing the size of my boobs?
**[09:30] Himari**
Well played, Enocchi.
**[09:32] Rion**
Well it's the truth.
**[09:34] Himari**
Why I oughta!
**[09:35] Rion**
Wanna piece of me?
**[09:39] Himari**
I sure do!
**[09:41] Rion**
Wait, don't Hii-chan!
**[09:43] Yu**
Ah, to be young and wild.
**[09:54] Himari**
It's cute, don't you think?
**[09:57] Rion**
Yeah, I like it.
**[09:59] Yu**
I mean, it definitely feels like summer.
**[10:03] Yu**
But it's almost like an ad.
**[10:05] Yu**
Not that it's bad, but I'm not
sure it goes with the theme.
**[10:11] Himari**
How much time do we have left? Three weeks?
**[10:14] Yu**
Yeah.
**[10:16] Yu**
This is a lot harder than I thought.
**[10:18] Yu**
It's like I'm thinking too hard about it.
**[10:21] Boy A**
Hey, come on! Not fair!
**[10:24] Boy B**
Take that!
**[10:28] Himari**
Something wrong?
**[10:30] Yu**
Nothing.
**[10:31] Yu**
Hey, there's somewhere I wanna visit.
**[10:41] Rion**
This is it?
**[10:43] Yu**
It's a flower arranging
school I used to go to.
**[10:46] Yu**
It's been a while since my last visit.
**[10:51] Yumi**
Take this! Special dive attack!
**[10:53] Girl A**
No fair, Sensei!
**[10:54] Rion**
She's the teacher?
**[10:55] Boy B**
Grow up!
**[10:55] Yu**
That's her.
**[10:57] Yumi**
Oh, hi there.
**[11:01] Yu**
I see you still like gaming.
**[11:04] Yumi**
I do!
**[11:05] Yumi**
I've been hooked since
I started back when you were here.
**[11:11] Yumi**
What can I help you with today?
**[11:14] Yu**
I was hoping you could
show me other people's work.
**[11:20] Yumi**
Wow, Natsume-kun.
**[11:21] Yumi**
That's a surprising request coming from you.
**[11:23] Yu**
It's a long story.
**[11:27] Himari**
Hey! Look!
**[11:29] Rion**
Is this Hii-chan?
**[11:30] Himari**
Yup. I used to come here for a bit, too.
**[11:33] Rion**
Your work is meh,
but you were cute back then.
**[11:38] Himari**
You say that like I'm not cute now.
**[11:40] Yumi**
You're not growing your hair out anymore?
**[11:44] Yumi**
It's a shame, it's so pretty.
**[11:46] Yumi**
But can't be helped if Natsume-kun
likes Inuzuka-chan's hair short.
**[11:51] Himari**
Yu, is that true?
**[11:53] Yu**
I-I meant it generally.
**[11:55] Yu**
I think the general consensus is
that you look good with short hair.
**[11:58] Himari**
But that's subjective!
**[12:01] Himari**
So basically, you totally love me.
**[12:03] Himari**
You're head-over-heels
in love with me, right?
**[12:05] Rion**
I'll go short.
**[12:06] Yu**
No, it's fine!
**[12:07] Yu**
You have pretty hair!
**[12:09] Yu**
I think your hair looks great!
**[12:12] Yumi**
Since you're all here, wanna
make some flower arrangements?
**[12:16] Yu**
You wouldn't mind?
**[12:19] Yumi**
I'm sure you'll get more inspired
working with your own hands.
**[12:22] Yumi**
Wanna give it a shot, Enomoto-chan?
**[12:24] Rion**
Yes, I'd love to.
**[12:26] Yu**
What about you?
**[12:27] Himari**
Oh, um... I'll just watch!
**[12:36] Himari**
* Ever since I was little,*
* I've sucked at making stuff.*
**[12:41] Himari**
*Generally, I'm good at everything.*
**[12:44] Himari**
*As long as I know all the right steps,*
**[12:46] Himari**
* I'm pretty good at following*
* instructions. But...*
**[12:51] Himari**
*I'm not good at making things creatively.*
**[12:54] Himari**
*Art, cooking, flower arrangements...*
**[12:57] Rion**
Yu-kun, this is pretty hard.
**[13:01] Himari**
*Man, it's like a pork katsu bowl.*
**[13:04] Himari**
* See, it's hard to make*
* things off the script.*
**[13:08] Himari**
*If Enocchi was good on her first try,*
**[13:11] Himari**
*how sad would I look?*
**[13:13] Yu**
Oh, then try this.
**[13:15] Yu**
Think of one side while
you're getting the hang of it.
**[13:18] Yu**
Don't worry about the back,
and use fewer flowers.
**[13:22] Rion**
Okay. Let me try.
**[13:29] Himari**
*That's beautiful.*
**[13:31] Rion**
What do you think?
**[13:33] Yu**
Looks great. Much better than the first try.
**[13:41] Yumi**
*It's a shame, it's so pretty.*
**[13:44] Himari**
*Back in middle school,*
**[13:46] Himari**
*I once jumped onto Yu while he was working,*
**[13:48] Himari**
*and accidentally burned my hair.*
**[13:50] Himari**
*I felt so bad seeing Yu apologize.*
**[13:54] Himari**
* I cut it all off when*
* we entered high school.*
**[13:57] (Flashback) Yu**
No, it's fine!
**[13:59] (Flashback) Yu**
You have pretty hair!
**[14:00] (Flashback) Yu**
I think your hair looks great!
**[14:02] Himari**
*Hey, Yu?*
**[14:03] Himari**
*What if I had long hair, too?*
**[14:06] Himari**
* What if I were feminine*
* and girly, like Enocchi?*
**[14:10] Himari**
*Would you have eyes only for me?*
**[14:20] Yumi**
That girl, Enomoto-chan.
**[14:21] Yumi**
She's the hibiscus girl, isn't she?
**[14:23] Himari**
Sensei, you can tell?
**[14:29] Yumi**
She likes Natsume-kun too, huh?
**[14:31] Himari**
Yup, she's committed.
She's liked him for seven years.
**[14:36] Yumi**
How about Natsume-kun?
**[14:37] Himari**
He says he doesn't, but I know he likes her.
**[14:42] Yumi**
That's youth for ya!
**[14:43] Yumi**
Keep your cool, Inuzuka-chan.
**[14:46] Himari**
What do you mean? I'm always cool.
**[14:49] Yumi**
Are you?
**[14:50] Yumi**
You suddenly went from
having zero romantic feelings
**[14:53] Yumi**
to becoming cling—I mean,
a girl with a crush!
**[14:57] Himari**
N-No, I'm not!
**[14:59] Yu**
Himari, for the battle with Kureha-san,
**[15:02] Yu**
I think I'll do a piece on sunflowers.
**[15:07] Himari**
It's the one from your
exhibit in middle school.
**[15:10] Himari**
*The sunflower wreath Yu made me.*
**[15:15] Yu**
It can stand its own against Kureha-san.
**[15:17] Yu**
It'd be perfect.
**[15:20] Himari**
I think that's a great idea!
**[15:22] Yu**
Enomoto-san actually picked this out.
**[15:27] Himari**
Oh, cool.
**[15:28] Yumi**
I know where you can find sunflowers!
***SIGN*** Sunflower Festival
**[15:37] Himari**
Sucks Enocchi couldn't come.
**[15:40] Yu**
It can't be helped,
she has to help out at the store.
**[15:44] Himari**
Why are you sitting behind me?
**[15:46] Himari**
Let's sit together.
**[15:47] Yu**
Oh, um...
**[15:48] Yu**
Oh yeah, I have to eat breakfast.
**[15:51] Yu**
I forgot my drink.
**[15:53] Himari**
Here.
**[15:54] Yu**
For real? Nice, thanks!
**[16:00] Himari**
Are you thinking about Enocchi?
**[16:04] Himari**
Is that why you've been
avoiding me recently?
**[16:07] Himari**
'Cause you don't want Enocchi
to take it wrong?
**[16:10] Yu**
That's not why at all.
**[16:12] Himari**
Then why is it?
**[16:14] Yu**
Why...?
**[16:16] Yu**
* It's actually because I'm*
* starting to see you as a girl,*
**[16:18] Yu**
* and you're making my heart*
* beat so fast I could die.*
**[16:21] Yu**
*Like I could say that!*
**[16:24] Yu**
I'm not avoiding you.
**[16:26] Yu**
And Enomoto-san has nothing to do with it.
**[16:33] Himari**
Bwa-ha! That's some good tea.
**[16:36] Yu**
Seriously? What was that for?
**[16:40] Himari**
I figured I'd test your love for Enocchi.
**[16:43] Yu**
That doesn't make any sense.
**[16:46] Himari**
I'll go buy you some tea
from the vending machine.
**[16:49] Yu**
That's fine, I'll go myself.
**[16:51] Himari**
Watch my stuff for me.
**[16:55] Yu**
* I have no clue what my best friend's*
* thinking and it's driving me nuts.*
**[17:02] Himari**
I can't believe how much guys change
when they fall in love.
**[17:07] Himari**
* Someone once told me that girls*
* and guys can't stay friends*
**[17:10] Himari**
* when one of them falls in love*
* with someone else.*
**[17:15] Himari**
*Can't be helped.*
**[17:17] Himari**
*Enocchi's cuter than me.*
**[17:19] Himari**
*I know I'm super pretty too, but...*
**[17:22] (Flashback) Makishima**
Let me be very clear.
**[17:24] (Flashback) Makishima**
If you really wanted Natsu for yourself,
you should have taken him to Tokyo.
**[17:29] (Flashback) Makishima**
Natsu was prepared to leave
everything for you and you weren't.
**[17:36] (Flashback) Makishima**
You decided not to take him
while you had the chance.
**[17:39] Himari**
*I thought he was out of his mind back then.*
**[17:43] Himari**
*But I get it now.*
**[17:45] Himari**
*The nicer Yu treats me, the greedier I get.*
**[17:51] Himari**
* I can't ignore that she's*
* much better for him than I am.*
***SIGN*** Sunflower Festival
**[18:09] Yu**
Wow! It's a giant field of sunflowers!
**[18:14] Himari**
Yu, keep your cool.
**[18:16] Himari**
We gotta pick them before we check out.
**[18:19] Himari**
Let's find the best ones
before someone takes them!
**[18:22] Yu**
Yeah.
**[18:26] Yu**
* The sunflower has two meanings:*
* sweetness and vitality of life.*
**[18:31] Yu**
* Araki-sensei always said balance*
* is the key to picking flowers.*
**[18:39] Yu**
* This one's leaves are too*
* crooked. It feels insincere.*

*The flower is too big on this one.*

*This one's perfect.*

Find one?
**[19:00] Yu**
Yeah, I like this one.
**[19:02] Yu**
I'll still look for more, though.
**[19:13] Himari**
Yu, guess what?
**[19:21] Himari**
* There he goes again.*
* Only thinking about flowers.*
**[19:24] Himari**
* Once he's in the zone,*
* he can't hear anything else.*
**[19:30] Himari**
Sunflowers are so pretty, right Yu?
**[19:37] Himari**
We should come with Enocchi next year.
**[19:44] Himari**
*I can't believe I'm jealous of flowers.*
**[19:49] Himari**
*But still...*
**[19:51] Himari**
Yu, I love you.
**[19:54] Himari**
Stop looking at flowers.
**[19:55] Himari**
Have eyes only for me.
**[20:08] Yu**
H-Himari.
**[20:19] Himari**
Yu, did you just hear that?
**[20:23] Yu**
Did you try to "Bwa-ha!" me just now?
**[20:27] Yu**
Stop that, will ya?
**[20:29] Yu**
This is serious! We have to
look for a sunflower.
**[20:33] Yu**
It's not the right time to mess around.
**[20:38] Himari**
*Are you serious?*
**[20:39] Himari**
*This can't be real.*

Hey, Himari!

*Is this how it's meant to be?*

**[20:57] Himari**
*What meaning does my life have?*
**[21:01] Himari**
*I hate it all.*
**[21:03] Himari**
*I hate myself for being this way.*
**[21:05] Himari**
*I hate Yu for not liking me back.*
**[21:08] Yu**
Himari! Where are you?
**[21:12] Himari**
Right here.
**[21:15] Himari**
* There's no way he can hear me*
* whispering like that.*
**[21:19] Himari**
* Even if the world ended*
* and we were the only ones left.*
**[21:23] Himari**
*My voice or feelings won't ever reach him.*
**[21:31] Yu**
Himari. There you are!
**[21:35] Yu**
What's up with you?
**[21:37] Yu**
You've been acting weird all day.
**[21:42] Himari**
*I don't need this friendship ring anymore.*
**[21:45] Yu**
Wh-What are you...?
**[21:47] Himari**
*What am I doing, you ask?*

**[00:02] Yu**
*Man, today was crazy.*
**[00:06] Yu**
*Feels like I lived a full week in one day.*
**[00:17] Yu**
*What? Why? How?*
**[00:19] Yu**
*What possessed Himari to do that?!*
**[00:23] Yu**
*It was so out of left field,*
**[00:24] Yu**
*my emotions can hardly keep up!*
**[00:28] Yu**
Times like these call for flowers.
**[00:32] Yu**
You think Himari kissed me
cause she likes me like *that*?
**[00:36] Yu**
How the hell am I supposed to
act around Hima—
**[00:39] Makishima**
Hey Natsu.
**[00:41] Makishima**
Having fun talking
to flowers all by yourself?
***SIGN*** Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive?
***SIGN*** (No, It Can't!!)
**[02:16] Yu**
I know you're plotting
behind my back with Kureha-san.
***SIGN*** Goodbye, Sunflower
**[02:19] Makishima**
Huh? Nope, I don't know anything about that.
**[02:22] Makishima**
I'm not involved this time.
**[02:25] Yu**
You're not?
**[02:26] Makishima**
Well, I tried.
**[02:27] Makishima**
But she used me for info
and tossed me aside.
**[02:30] Makishima**
I guess she prefers to work alone.
**[02:34] Yu**
Then why didn't you
convince her to let Hima—
**[02:37] Makishima**
I can't do that!
**[02:41] Yu**
You still want Himari to go to Tokyo, huh?
**[02:46] Makishima**
Not exactly.
**[02:48] Yu**
Huh?
**[02:49] Makishima**
I'd never turn my back on Kureha-san.
**[02:52] Makishima**
Because I love her.
**[02:55] Makishima**
Got a problem with that?
**[02:57] Makishima**
I can fall in love too, you know!
**[02:59] Makishima**
N-Never mind that!
**[03:01] Makishima**
What about you?
**[03:03] Yu**
N-Nothing much.
**[03:04] Makishima**
Come on!
**[03:05] Makishima**
After everything I just told you?
**[03:08] Makishima**
What's this about smooching Himari-chan?
**[03:12] Yu**
I-I-I don't remember telling you that!
**[03:15] Makishima**
Technically, you didn't.
**[03:17] Makishima**
I'd be more careful talking to flowers.
**[03:20] Makishima**
So? Did you confess?
**[03:23] Yu**
No... We went to the Sunflower Festival.
**[03:26] Yu**
She kept mentioning Enomoto-san,
when she suddenly...
**[03:30] Makishima**
So that's how.
**[03:33] Makishima**
This is perfect!
**[03:34] Makishima**
I figured I had no role to play this time,
but this changes everything!
**[03:40] Yu**
You seem to be having lots of fun.
**[03:43] Makishima**
Either way, I doubt you
can act like friends now.
**[03:48] Yu**
I-I guess not.
**[03:51] Makishima**
Then I suggest you focus
on the task at hand.
**[03:58] Makishima**
See ya.
**[04:01] Yu**
*Makishima's right.*
**[04:03] Yu**
* If I lose this battle,*
* I'd have to give up Himari.*
**[04:06] Yu**
*There's only one thing I can do now.*
**[04:09] Yu**
*Focus on making my masterpiece, like always!*
**[04:14] Himari**
* Look at all these delicious*
* dumplings I made for everyone.*
**[04:18] Himari**
* Lemme dive in first on this*
* springy sandwich of goodness.*
**[04:23] Himari**
*Here I go!*
**[04:24] Himari**
*Yum, yum.*
**[04:27] Himari**
*Yum, yum, yum.*
**[04:31] Himari**
*Yummy, yummy.*
**[04:35] Himari**
*Yummy, yummy, yum, yum, yum...*
**[04:58] Himari**
*Did that happen?*
**[04:59] Himari**
*What have I done?*
**[05:01] Himari**
*Oh my gosh!*
**[05:02] Himari**
It's not a dream?
**[05:03] Himari**
Please, let it be a dream!
**[05:04] Himari**
Why did I do that?!
**[05:08] Himari**
How can I even message him?
**[05:10] Himari**
What do I even say?
**[05:13] Himari**
*"Which is more springy?"*
**[05:15] Himari**
*"Dumplings or my lips?"*
**[05:16] Himari**
Shut up, you idiot!
**[05:18] Himari**
What kind of high school girl says that?!
**[05:23] Himari**
*He hates me. I know it.*
**[05:25] Hibari**
Himari? Can I come in?
**[05:27] Himari**
*It's Onii-chan!*
**[05:28] Himari**
*I can't let him find out!*
**[05:31] Hibari**
Going somewhere?
**[05:36] Hibari**
I see.
**[05:37] Hibari**
You were annoyed by his
wishy-washy attitude,
**[05:40] Hibari**
so you kissed him on impulse.
**[05:45] Hibari**
Oh well. What's done is done.
**[05:50] Hibari**
You thought I would scold you?
**[05:53] Hibari**
You deserve praise
for being true to your feelings.
**[05:58] Hibari**
Besides, if you get dumped,
I can swoop in to save the day!
**[06:02] Hibari**
So no worries!
**[06:05] Himari**
*I totally forgot. He lives for this stuff.*
**[06:08] Hibari**
Well, time for me to eat dinner.
**[06:13] Hibari**
I noticed the smell of delicious dumplings.
**[06:16] Himari**
R-Right, Onii-chan...
**[06:19] Himari**
About the dumplings...
**[06:24] Hibari**
The hell is this?!
**[06:25] Hibari**
There isn't a single one left!
**[06:29] Himari**
I'm sorry!
***SIGN*** Science Room
**[06:32] Yu**
*I can't tell.*
**[06:34] Yu**
*They might be done. They might not.*
**[06:39] Yu**
* Ever since yesterday,*
* I keep thinking of Himari.*
**[06:41] Yu**
*I can't focus.*
**[06:44] Rion**
Yu-kun, what's up?
**[06:46] Yu**
Enomoto-san! Don't you have practice?
**[06:48] Rion**
I decided to come by for lunch.
**[06:51] Yu**
It's lunch time already?
**[06:54] Rion**
Were you about to take these out?
**[06:57] Yu**
I'm not sure yet.
**[06:58] Yu**
Even if it looks done on the surface,
**[07:00] Yu**
it might still have
coloring left in the center.
**[07:03] Yu**
If it's not done all the way,
**[07:04] Yu**
it could cause problems later on.
**[07:06] Rion**
Oh, are these the ones
you got with Hii-chan?
**[07:09] Yu**
Y-Yup.
**[07:11] Rion**
You picked them out while you kissed?
**[07:14] Yu**
Actually, we picked them out
and then we kiss—
**[07:22] Yu**
Makishima told you, huh?
**[07:25] Rion**
Yup. Darn. I wish I went.
**[07:29] Rion**
I wouldn't have let Hii-chan get ahead.
**[07:31] Yu**
I'm not sure how to respond to that.
**[07:35] Yu**
Listen, Enomoto-san.
**[07:37] Yu**
I think I need to tell Himari how I feel.
**[07:42] Rion**
Good for you.
**[07:43] Yu**
You think so?
**[07:45] Rion**
To me, it makes no difference
whether you two go out.
**[07:49] Rion**
Even if you were dating from the start,
**[07:50] Rion**
I would have told you how I felt.
**[07:52] Yu**
*Oh yeah, that's how she is.*
**[07:56] Rion**
I'm gonna be Hii-chan's number one friend.
**[07:59] Rion**
Maybe one day, she'll agree
to share you with me.
**[08:04] Rion**
That's my end goal!
**[08:06] Rion**
I'll get back to practice.
**[08:10] Yu**
See ya later.
**[08:19] Himari**
H-Hey, um... I...
**[08:23] Rion**
Punishment!
**[08:29] Yu**
Himari! You okay?!
**[08:31] Himari**
She was for real that time!
**[08:32] Himari**
I was about to die!
**[08:41] Yu**
L-Look, Himari.
**[08:44] Yu**
I'm not gonna pretend like
yesterday didn't happen.
**[08:49] Yu**
So... um...
**[08:52] Yu**
There's something I need to tell you
after I beat Kureha-san!
**[08:55] Himari**
Sure.
**[08:56] Yu**
*Okay, now what?*
**[08:58] Yu**
* I didn't think about how to act*
* after saying that!*
**[09:01] Yu**
*I need a diversion!*
**[09:04] Yu**
*I think it's about the right time...*
**[09:07] Yu**
*Oh well, here goes nothing!*
**[09:12] Himari**
What do you plan to make with these?
**[09:15] Yu**
A sunflower tiara.
**[09:18] Himari**
That sounds amazing!
**[09:22] Yu**
* Her smile was even cuter than that time...*
* before my middle school exhibit.*
**[09:31] Yu**
You're gonna be gone for the Obon holidays?
**[09:33] Himari**
Yup.
**[09:34] Himari**
We're going on a family trip
while my dad's back home.
**[09:39] Yu**
Oh... How about you, Enomoto-san?
**[09:42] Rion**
I have to help out at the store.
**[09:43] Rion**
Our cakes sell out during Obon.
**[09:46] Yu**
It's the busy season, then.
**[09:49] Yu**
I can't work at home
with my older sisters visiting.
**[09:53] Yu**
But school's closed during break.
**[09:55] Yu**
I gotta figure out a workspace.
**[09:57] Himari**
Why don't you use our place then?
**[09:59] Himari**
I'll let Onii-chan know.
**[10:00] Yu**
For real? Thanks!
**[10:47] Yu**
*Three more days until the match.*
**[10:50] Hibari**
Wow, Yu-kun.
**[10:52] Hibari**
You worked so hard.
**[10:55] Hibari**
Your tiara's great.
**[10:59] Hibari**
Kureha-kun won't stand a chance.
**[11:02] Yu**
Thank you.
**[11:03] Hibari**
Finally, you'll get to
be my little brother for real.
**[11:06] Hibari**
Let's say cheers
with the tiara to celebrate!
**[11:11] Yu**
I showed you yesterday too, though.
**[11:14] Hibari**
It's so good, I can't get enough!
**[11:23] Hibari**
Yu-kun, what happened?
**[11:26] Yu**
*What's going on?*
**[11:28] Yu**
*How did this happen?*
**[11:30] Yu**
* The flowers are dying*
* from losing their inner moisture.*
**[11:36] Yu**
*Did I mess up the timing back then?*
**[11:41] Hibari**
Can this be fixed somehow?
**[11:45] Yu**
No, not at this point.
**[11:48] Yu**
I can tidy up how it looks
but not the quality.
**[11:51] Hibari**
Any spares?
**[11:52] Yu**
I was so focused on making just one.
**[11:55] Yu**
I used them all up in trial runs.
**[11:59] Hibari**
Yu-kun, I'll grab the car.
**[12:01] Hibari**
Let's go look for sunflowers.
**[12:04] Hibari**
We'll search stores across the city—
**[12:05] Yu**
Hibari-san.
**[12:07] Yu**
You've been drinking.
**[12:23] Yu**
There.
**[12:29] Hibari**
Yu-kun, I'm coming in.
**[12:32] Yu**
Good morning.
**[12:37] Himari**
Morning...
**[12:41] Himari**
It's been a while since I had some
quality Yu time. Put me right to sleep.
**[12:46] Himari**
I needed that to rejuvenate
myself after my trip.
**[12:49] Yu**
You say that like I'm a beauty treatment.
**[12:52] Himari**
Seems like trouble broke out
while I was gone.
**[12:55] Yu**
Sorry.
**[12:56] Hibari**
Let's see the final product!
**[12:59] Yu**
Right!
**[13:01] Himari**
Wow! It's so cute!
**[13:05] Himari**
Don't you think Onii-chan?
**[13:07] Hibari**
I think it's a good piece.
**[13:10] Hibari**
I'm proud of you for bouncing back
in a matter of a few days.
**[13:17] Kureha**
Can I go ahead and take a look?
**[13:20] Yu**
Please.
**[13:25] Kureha**
Wow, it's so cute!
**[13:28] Kureha**
It looks much better
than the ones on social media.
**[13:33] Kureha**
Is this a wedding tiara?
**[13:35] Kureha**
The sunflowers are so bold.
What a fashion statement.
**[13:38] Kureha**
I like the attention to detail, too.
**[13:43] Yu**
You really think so?
**[13:46] Kureha**
Yup! It's definitely cute.
**[13:49] Kureha**
I actually want it for myself.
**[13:52] Yu**
You mean I won the matc—
**[13:54] Kureha**
Hmm, I dunno about that.
**[13:56] Kureha**
It's cute, but not good enough!
**[13:59] Yu**
But you just said you want it!
**[14:02] Yu**
Were you planning on saying that either way?
**[14:08] Kureha**
I'd never do something that unfair.
**[14:11] Kureha**
If you actually made something good,
**[14:13] Kureha**
I was planning on giving up Himari-chan.
**[14:16] Yu**
Then why?
**[14:18] Kureha**
It's obvious, isn't it?
**[14:20] Kureha**
You were supposed to give
it your all in this match.
**[14:24] Kureha**
But you tried to play it off
with a failed piece.
**[14:28] Kureha**
And *I'm* being unfair?
**[14:33] Yu**
That's not true.
**[14:35] Yu**
I always put my all into every piec—
**[14:37] Kureha**
Then why did you bring me a back-up piece?
**[14:43] Kureha**
I heard about the flowers dying.
**[14:45] Kureha**
Sakura-chan told me so.
**[14:50] Kureha**
You tried to trick me.
**[14:52] Kureha**
Why didn't you tell me the truth?
**[14:55] Yu**
But if I could just make it in time—
**[14:58] Kureha**
If you did, then what?
**[15:05] Kureha**
You said he was your best creator.
**[15:07] Kureha**
What a waste of time.
**[15:11] Kureha**
All right, Rion! Let's go home.
**[15:13] Kureha**
I should say hi to mom for a change.
**[15:26] Sakura**
You have something to say?
**[15:28] Yu**
Why did you tell Kureha-san
about the flowers dying?
**[15:32] Sakura**
What were you about
to tell Kureha back there?
**[15:39] Sakura**
Let me guess.
**[15:40] Sakura**
"If I could just make it
in time, it'd be fine."
**[15:44] Sakura**
If you're not serious about
accessories, give it up already.
**[15:49] Yu**
Saku-nee-san, you're saying
I'm not serious about it?
**[15:55] Sakura**
You remember these?
**[16:02] Yu**
The returned pieces...
**[16:05] Sakura**
When I spoke with Sasaki-sensei,
he was very understanding.
**[16:10] Sakura**
Other than one thing:
the quality of the pieces.
**[16:14] Yu**
What do you mean?
**[16:16] Sakura**
Take a closer look.
**[16:21] Sakura**
There's two more with the same issue.
**[16:24] Sakura**
And another one with a cracked petal.
**[16:26] Sakura**
You understand what this means?
**[16:31] Sakura**
Remember when I said your pieces
were frozen in time?
**[16:36] Yu**
Yeah...
**[16:37] Sakura**
Until then, you'd never sold
a defective product.
**[16:43] Sakura**
But after I told you that,
you've made four bad pieces.
**[16:49] Sakura**
Your past work showed
that you gave it your all.
**[16:51] Sakura**
But all it took was a little play on
romance to get you off your game.
**[16:58] Sakura**
You're not cut out to be a creator.
**[17:02] Sakura**
You couldn't even get serious
for this match with your dream at stake.
**[17:07] Sakura**
Get your head straight
if you really want to be a creator.
**[17:11] Sakura**
Keep customers out of it
if you're going to prioritize romance.
**[17:16] Sakura**
Feel ashamed for toying around
with this ridiculous tiara in a dire match.
**[17:25] Himari**
Hey, Yu...
**[17:27] Yu**
Himari.
**[17:29] Yu**
About what I said before I made this tiara.
**[17:32] Yu**
Sorry. Forget I said anything.
**[17:35] Hibari**
Himari.
**[17:37] Hibari**
Let's go.
**[17:47] Himari**
What did you bring me out here for?
**[17:50] Himari**
Sorry, but I don't plan
on going to Tokyo like you want.
**[17:55] Makishima**
You heard from Natsu, right?
**[17:57] Makishima**
I'm not involved in this one.
**[18:00] Makishima**
My plans start from here.
**[18:04] Makishima**
Himari-chan.
**[18:05] Makishima**
Join Kureha-san's agency
and aim for the top.
**[18:10] Himari**
Excuse me? I told you
my promise with Yu comes first.
**[18:15] Himari**
I know that's not easy to say,
especially with finances.
**[18:20] Makishima**
Isn't that more of a reason
to accept Kureha-san's offer?
**[18:24] Himari**
What do you mean?
**[18:26] Makishima**
It's the perfect opportunity
to get your name out there.
**[18:30] Makishima**
All the more if you want to
promote Natsu's accessories.
**[18:34] Makishima**
Your strength is your charm.
**[18:37] Makishima**
Go learn how to best
leverage those strengths.
**[18:41] Makishima**
Accepting Kureha-san's offer
is only your ticket.
**[18:43] Himari**
B-But I have to support Yu.
**[18:46] Makishima**
Rin-chan can do that.
**[18:48] Himari**
Still!
**[18:51] Makishima**
I'm not telling you to hand him over.
**[18:54] Makishima**
Just to let her borrow him.
**[18:57] Makishima**
If your bond's the real deal,
a few years apart can't hurt.
**[19:02] Himari**
*The real deal?*
**[19:08] Makishima**
How about this?
**[19:10] Makishima**
One day, when you two's dream comes true,
**[19:12] Makishima**
and you still feel
the same way towards Natsu,
**[19:15] Makishima**
I promise to help you
with everything I've got.
**[19:21] Makishima**
I might be a player,
but I can keep a promise.
**[19:24] Makishima**
Think about it.
**[19:28] Himari**
* It's my fault for drowning in romance*
* and throwing aside friendship.*
**[19:32] Himari**
*All while Yu was serious about his work.*
**[19:37] Himari**
*I was the one who screwed everything up.*
**[19:45] Himari**
Is this the last time
I get to cling onto you?
**[19:49] Himari**
Kinda makes you think, doesn't it?
**[19:53] Yu**
It's hot enough as it is. Get off.
**[19:57] Himari**
Don't cheat on me while I'm gone, okay?
**[20:00] Yu**
Who's cheating? We're not even dating.
**[20:05] Himari**
Don't say that like you're
not crazy for me.
**[20:09] Himari**
You didn't even accept
an offer from Enocchi.
**[20:15] Yu**
By the way, Himari.
**[20:17] Yu**
You're not gonna "Bwa-ha!" at me today?
**[20:21] Himari**
Feels like one of those
crossroads in life, doesn't it?
**[20:27] Himari**
If I become a famous model,
**[20:30] Himari**
I can promote your accessories even more.
**[20:33] Himari**
Which means our dream will come true.
**[20:36] Yu**
Maybe, yeah.
**[20:38] Himari**
Or I could beg my grandpa
to pay off my debt.
**[20:42] Himari**
Which means we could live out our cute,
raunchy high school dreams!
**[20:47] Yu**
Don't say it like that!
**[20:49] Yu**
That's an awful way to put it.
**[20:54] Himari**
Our future dream or our romance today.
**[20:56] Himari**
Which one are we supposed to live for?
**[21:00] Yu**
Himari, don't forget.
**[21:03] Yu**
If you want me to give up my dream—
**[21:08] Himari**
J-Jeez, Yu. You're so obsessed with flowers.
**[21:12] Yu**
No, I'm willing to—
**[21:13] Himari**
It's all you care about, I get it.
**[21:16] Yu**
Himari!
**[21:17] Himari**
Please.
**[21:18] Himari**
I can't bear you quitting.
**[21:24] Himari**
I can't.
**[21:28] Yu**
*This world is full of contradictions.*
**[21:31] Yu**
* Betting on our future together*
* is probably the right thing to do.*
**[21:36] Yu**
* But for that, we have no*
* choice but to be apart.*
**[21:40] Yu**
*It's messed up, but I'll accept it.*
**[21:44] Yu**
* Somewhere down this path,*
* we'll meet again one day.*
**[21:48] Yu**
*Even if our love looks different by then,*
**[21:52] Yu**
*I believe we'll still laugh together.*
**[21:54] Yu**
*As best friends.*
**[21:58] Yu**
*Farewell to our romance.*
**[22:02] Yu**
*I wish you well.*

**[00:01] Himari**
* If the red string of fate*
* ties two people together,*
**[00:06] Himari**
* what color string connects*
* two unrequited lovers?*
**[00:12] Himari**
*"That stuff doesn't exist," you say?*
**[00:15] Himari**
*Of course it does.*
***SIGN*** Beautiful Meanings

**[00:17] Himari**
* How else could two people*
* have such a strong bond*
**[00:20] Himari**
*but be destined to be apart?*
**[00:24] Himari**
*I bet it's a string with a lame color.*
**[00:29] Himari**
*Like the color of my eyes right now.*
**[00:33] Himari**
*I'm sure of it.*

**[00:39] Rion**
*I really hate the summer.*
**[00:41] Rion**
*I sweat way too much.*
**[00:42] Rion**
*And guys stare more.*
**[00:51] Rion**
*We don't have band practice today but...*
**[00:54] Rion**
*I bet Yu-kun doesn't want any visitors.*
**[00:56] Rion's Mom**
Rion! Got a minute?
**[00:59] Rion's Mom**
Can you take Kureha's gift
to the Makishimas?
**[01:04] Rion**
But it's my day off!
**[01:06] Rion**
Can't Onee-chan take it?
**[01:07] Rion's Mom**
Looks like she's already left.
**[01:09] Rion**
What?
**[01:10] Rion's Mom**
You know how restless she gets.
**[01:13] Rion's Mom**
Thanks, Rion.
**[01:16] Rion**
You're way too soft on Onee-chan.
**[01:25] Makishima**
It's done! Himari-chan's going to Tokyo!
**[01:27] Makishima**
Rin-chan's sure to win now!
**[01:30] Makishima**
That lame perfectionist's got nothing on me!
**[01:35] Makishima**
Take that, you loser!
**[01:36] Rion**
*He's weirdly energetic, it's creepy.*
**[01:40] Rion**
You're home for a change?
**[01:42] Rion**
I figured you'd be out with girls.
**[01:45] Makishima**
I'm in a good mood. Don't burst my bubble.
**[01:49] Makishima**
What's the visit for?
**[01:52] Makishima**
Oh, Kureha-san's gift.
**[01:54] Makishima**
I'll give it to the others later.
**[01:59] Makishima**
What's your problem?
**[02:00] Makishima**
Go ahead and say it.
**[02:02] Rion**
Onee-chan's trying to take Hii-chan away.
**[02:06] Makishima**
She seems pretty set on her.
**[02:10] Makishima**
But this is your chance, isn't it?
**[02:13] Rion**
That's not fair, though.
**[02:14] Makishima**
You're still trying to play nice?
**[02:17] Makishima**
Himari-chan was the one
who tried to one-up you.
**[02:20] Makishima**
Anything's fair game.
**[02:22] Rion**
I mean sure, but...
**[02:25] Rion**
Shii-kun, can you stop her?
**[02:27] Makishima**
No can do.
**[02:29] Makishima**
I've pulled all these strings
to help you win.
**[02:33] Makishima**
I can't put all my hard work to wast—
**[02:34] Rion**
I bet Onee-chan would be impressed
if you can outsmart her.
**[02:42] Rion**
Like with tennis.
**[02:43] Rion**
Going to nationals is just to make
Onee-chan admit you're above Hibari-san.
**[02:50] Rion**
Not to mention you only approached Yu-kun
because he was Hibari-san's favorite.
**[02:56] Rion**
And now look at you, you're actual friends.
**[02:58] Rion**
Want me to keep going?
**[03:05] Makishima**
Fine! I get it!
**[03:07] Makishima**
You're right.
**[03:09] Makishima**
Not that I care one bit about
that cruel woman!
**[03:13] Makishima**
But it would feel nice
to beat her at her own game.
**[03:17] Makishima**
You sure, though?
**[03:18] Makishima**
You might essentially be handing
the win to Himari-chan!
**[03:22] Rion**
Fine with me!
**[03:24] Rion**
I don't want to win like this anyways.
**[03:26] Makishima**
You sisters are both so stubborn.
**[03:30] Makishima**
Fine, but after this,
I'm not helping you anymore.
**[03:33] Makishima**
Got that?
**[03:34] Rion**
I never asked you for help. Besides...
**[03:38] Rion**
I'm only letting Himari-chan borrow Yu-kun.
**[03:41] Rion**
In the end, I'll be the winner!
**[03:45] Makishima**
Good grief.
**[03:47] Makishima**
I almost feel bad for Himari-chan for having
**[03:51] Makishima**
a lifelong rival with such nerves of steel.
**[04:01] Hibari**
Hi, there.
**[04:02] Hibari**
What an unexpected caller.
**[04:06] Hibari**
A favor?
**[04:10] Yu**
* I'll be all alone at the*
* Gardening Club until graduation.*
**[04:16] Yu**
* It might even be that way*
* until I open my own store.*
**[04:19] Yu**
*Or even for the rest of my life.*
**[04:22] Yu**
*Himari may never come back.*
**[04:25] Yu**
* If it comes to that, would*
* I even want to open a store?*
**[04:29] Yu**
* I'd spend ten, twenty years living*
* an ordinary life without her.*
**[04:36] Yu**
*Dammit!*
**[04:37] Yu**
*Why am I being so negative?!*
**[04:40] Yu**
*Everything will be fine!*
**[04:41] Yu**
*I trust Himari. I'll work hard, too!*
**[04:45] Makishima**
You look as miserable as ever.
**[04:49] Makishima**
Isn't it Himari-chan's job to water
the flowers in the morning?
**[04:53] Yu**
She's leaving for Tokyo today.
**[04:55] Makishima**
What time does the train leave?
**[04:56] Yu**
Around noon, I think.
**[04:58] Makishima**
Then we've got some time.
**[05:00] Makishima**
Let's have a chat.
**[05:01] Yu**
Huh?
**[05:01] Makishima**
You're going too, aren't you?
**[05:04] Makishima**
This might be our last chance
to talk face-to-face.
**[05:07] Yu**
Why would I go to Tokyo?
**[05:09] Makishima**
Oh?
**[05:10] Makishima**
Weren't you all worked up
about following her back in May?
**[05:15] Makishima**
You've already decided
to give up accessories once.
**[05:17] Makishima**
How's it different
the second or third time?
**[05:20] Yu**
This situation's totally different.
**[05:22] Makishima**
Is it? How so?
**[05:24] Yu**
Himari wants to model for my accessories.
**[05:27] Yu**
How could I stop her?
**[05:29] Makishima**
How lame.
**[05:30] Makishima**
That's how I know you're stupid.
**[05:32] Yu**
What do you—
**[05:34] Makishima**
What's so wrong about
devoting your life to a woman?
**[05:37] Makishima**
You don't need your own store
to make accessories.
**[05:42] Makishima**
You don't have to be an artist,
you can work a normal job
**[05:44] Makishima**
and be with the woman you love.
**[05:46] Makishima**
Is that such a bad life?
**[05:49] Makishima**
But you can't make that choice.
**[05:52] Makishima**
Why? Because you're afraid of going
back to your old, boring self.
**[05:56] Makishima**
You're afraid of being surrounded
by people who look down on you.
**[06:02] Makishima**
Let me be brutally honest.
**[06:03] Makishima**
You don't actually love Himari-chan.
**[06:07] Makishima**
You're just taking advantage of her.
**[06:10] Makishima**
You spent two years as her best friend
only because that's what she wanted.
**[06:15] Makishima**
Now that she wants romance,
you're playing your part.
**[06:19] Makishima**
It's all for your own convenience.
**[06:22] Makishima**
You wouldn't care whichever way.
**[06:25] Yu**
What the hell would you know?
**[06:28] Yu**
You—!
**[06:30] Yu**
You have no clue
what we mean to each other!
**[06:32] Yu**
I... I love Himari!
**[06:36] Yu**
Even if she didn't help my dream!
**[06:38] Yu**
Even if she didn't protect me!
**[06:40] Yu**
I've already decided to be with Himari!
**[06:44] Makishima**
Great. You know where you stand.
**[06:47] Makishima**
Now there's only one thing to do.
**[06:55] Makishima**
I played it close, he almost hit me.
**[07:01] Makishima**
It's not easy having to live
without your number one girl like me.
**[07:17] Yu**
*That's right. It was her all along.*
**[07:21] Yu**
*I just wanted her eyes on me.*
**[07:35] Dude**
Whoa, bro.
**[07:37] Lady**
You okay?
**[07:49] Himari**
Yu!
**[08:01] Yu**
*That's all I needed!*
**[08:14] Himari**
*I'm such a backstabber.*
**[08:16] Himari**
*I pretended to support Enocchi.*
**[08:18] Himari**
*Only to kiss Yu behind her back.*
**[08:23] Himari**
*But... I've never liked someone so much*
**[08:29] Himari**
*that none of that even mattered.*
***SIGN*** On my way!
***SIGN*** I'm by the station entrance.
***SIGN*** Oops, sorry. Stuck in traffic.
**[08:35] Himari**
*I hope she doesn't show up.*
**[08:38] Himari**
*Snap out of it. You've made up your mind.*
**[08:42] Himari**
*I was just unlucky.*
**[08:45] Himari**
*Kureha-san said my looks were my talent.*
**[08:49] Himari**
*That made me happy.*
**[08:52] Himari**
* After all, I didn't think*
* I was good for anything.*
**[08:56] Himari**
*Maybe, just maybe, my looks could help Yu.*
**[09:00] Himari**
* Still, if I think about*
* what's most important to me,*
**[09:06] Himari**
*it's the time I spend with Yu.*
**[09:08] Himari**
*And now, I can't have that anymore.*
**[09:11] Himari**
* If that's how it is, I don't want to*
* be the prettiest girl in the world.*
**[09:16] Himari**
*I don't even want these fairy-like eyes.*
**[09:19] Himari**
*Or any friends. Or family.*
**[09:24] Himari**
* I just wish I were born*
* as someone loved by Yu.*
**[09:30] Rion**
Hii-chan.
**[09:32] Himari**
E-Enocchi!
**[09:34] Himari**
You came to see me off?
**[09:36] Himari**
You're too nice!
**[09:38] Himari**
Not like that idiot who left me on read.
**[09:42] Rion**
I'm not here for that.
**[09:43] Rion**
I just wanted to say thanks.
**[09:45] Himari**
Say thanks?
**[09:46] Rion**
Hii-chan, you threw the match.
**[09:49] Rion**
So thanks!
**[09:53] Himari**
Y-You're mad I kissed Yu, huh?
**[09:56] Himari**
That was nothing, it was—
**[09:58] Rion**
You're still trying to play the good girl?
**[10:01] Rion**
It's been obvious the entire time.
**[10:04] Rion**
There's no use glossing it over.
**[10:08] Rion**
Are your dreams more important
than your true feelings?
**[10:13] Himari**
O-Of course they are!
**[10:14] Himari**
You know how hard Yu's worked for it!
**[10:18] Rion**
Sure I do.
**[10:19] Himari**
It would be a huge plus
for the store one day.
**[10:22] Himari**
Besides, modeling
isn't something anyone can do.
**[10:26] Rion**
But why do it if you don't want to?
**[10:30] Himari**
Then why don't you go instead!
**[10:38] Rion**
Okay!
**[10:40] Rion**
I'll go.
**[10:42] Rion**
I'm not sure if I'm cut out for it,
but I'll do it for you and Yu-kun.
**[10:47] Himari**
B-But...
**[10:48] Rion**
So give me Yu-kun in return.
**[10:52] Rion**
I'll let you borrow him
until he opens his store.
**[10:56] Rion**
But when I come home, give him to me.
**[10:59] Rion**
You don't mind, right?
**[11:00] Rion**
Let's pinky promise!
**[11:03] Rion**
No?
**[11:04] Rion**
You can still be best friends.
**[11:06] Rion**
It's okay.
**[11:08] Rion**
I'm sure you'll be able to
find someone just like him!
**[11:12] Himari**
*No, that's not it.*
**[11:16] Himari**
*I wasn't the one who found Yu.*
**[11:20] Himari**
*Yu was the one who discovered me.*
**[11:23] Himari**
*There's no doing that again.*
**[11:29] Rion**
See, you're trying too hard.
**[11:33] Rion**
You've always been like that.
**[11:36] Rion**
Even though you steal everything you want,
**[11:40] Rion**
you've never been able to
say what you want most.
**[11:53] Himari**
I don't wanna!
**[11:55] Himari**
I hate it!
**[11:57] Himari**
I don't really wanna go!
**[12:00] Rion**
There, there. I know.
**[12:03] Himari**
But this was all my fault.
**[12:05] Himari**
I have to make up for it somehow.
**[12:08] Himari**
And what if Yu's better off without me?
**[12:12] Rion**
Honestly, I wonder about that too.
**[12:14] Rion**
You always stir up trouble
and involve everyone around you.
**[12:19] Himari**
Are you trying to kill me or what?
**[12:25] Rion**
You know what I noticed?
**[12:27] Rion**
You two are both so focused on
how to make your dreams come true.
**[12:33] Himari**
What do you mean?
**[12:34] Rion**
Does it have to be that complicated?
**[12:37] Rion**
Like my mom.
**[12:38] Rion**
Making sweets was initially just a hobby.
**[12:41] Rion**
She only opened her own store recently.
**[12:42] Himari**
Really?
**[12:44] Rion**
Having a dream is nice, but you
can't lose sight of the present.
**[12:48] Rion**
Opening a store isn't everything.
**[12:51] Himari**
But it might be for Yu.
**[12:54] Rion**
You think so?
**[12:56] Rion**
Is the store the most
important thing to Yu-kun?
**[13:01] Rion**
Or is it—
**[13:02] Yu**
Himari!
**[13:04] Yu**
Himari!
**[13:10] Himari**
Yu!
**[13:13] Rion**
See?
**[13:14] Himari**
What are you doing here?
**[13:16] Yu**
Please don't go!
**[13:18] Yu**
I can't choose between
my dream and romance.
**[13:21] Yu**
I'm not even sure which is the right answer.
**[13:23] Yu**
But I *do* know that you don't
actually want to go to Tokyo!
**[13:28] Himari**
But this is the only way I can help.
**[13:32] Yu**
That's not true.
**[13:34] Yu**
And you don't need to help me.
**[13:37] Yu**
You don't need to do anything.
**[13:40] Yu**
We don't need a purpose to be together.
**[13:41] Yu**
That's not what this is about!
**[13:44] Yu**
I was so afraid to lose the one
person who understands my passion.
**[13:48] Yu**
I was too afraid to lose you!
**[13:51] Yu**
That's why I was so fixated
on what we could do for each other.
**[13:54] Yu**
But all I ever wanted was for you to see me!
**[14:00] Yu**
If you're doing this for me,
don't sacrifice yourself!
**[14:04] Yu**
There's no having fun without you around.
**[14:07] Yu**
Like the best friends we've always been!
**[14:13] Himari**
Yu, I—
**[14:17] Kureha**
All right you two, that's enough.
**[14:20] Kureha**
Yu-chan, I'm not sure that's very fair.
**[14:23] Kureha**
You lost the match, remember?
**[14:26] Himari**
Kureha-san, I can't go!
**[14:28] Yu**
Please, give us one more chance!
**[14:31] Kureha**
Nope, sorry.
**[14:32] Kureha**
I only gave you the first chance
for Hibari-kun's sake.
**[14:36] Kureha**
Besides, aren't you two
forgetting something?
**[14:40] Kureha**
Himari-chan has a debt to pay.
**[14:43] Kureha**
First thing's first, she should—
**[14:45] Makishima**
Then allow *me* to pay that off!
**[14:52] Makishima**
Here you go!
**[14:53] Kureha**
Wh-What's going on?
**[14:57] Kureha**
Ouch...
**[14:59] Kureha**
What's all this about?
**[15:02] Rion**
Shii-kun, you're late.
**[15:05] Makishima**
Well it was a lot of cash.
**[15:08] Makishima**
Though, I will say,
**[15:09] Makishima**
hats off to that perfectionist
for making it in time.
**[15:16] Himari**
Onii-chan!
**[15:17] Kureha**
Shinji-kun, you better explain yourself.
**[15:20] Makishima**
Like I said, I'm paying off
Himari-chan's debt on her behalf.
**[15:25] Makishima**
As an outsider, I can sign a contract
with Hibari-san to borrow money.
**[15:31] Kureha**
I didn't expect you
to betray me of all people.
**[15:34] Makishima**
Betray you? Please. You declined my offer.
**[15:38] Makishima**
Did you expect me to sit idly by?
**[15:42] Makishima**
You can't be that naive.
**[15:44] Makishima**
Well? You've got your money.
**[15:47] Makishima**
Any other problems?
**[15:56] Yu**
I—
**[15:57] Kureha**
I'm over this!
**[15:59] Yu**
Huh? Wait, um...
**[16:03] Kureha**
Thanks for ruining everything.
**[16:07] Hibari**
Hey now! Kureha-kun!
**[16:08] Hibari**
Stop that!
**[16:09] Kureha**
Hurry up and take me somewhere
cool so I can let you have it!
**[16:14] Hibari**
It's always this with you!
**[16:17] Kureha**
That's that. You can go now.
**[16:19] Kureha**
Bye-bye!
**[16:25] Himari**
Are we off the hook?
**[16:27] Yu**
I dunno, maybe?
**[16:28] Makishima**
According to Kureha-san, it was a loan.
**[16:31] Makishima**
Pay it off and it's a done deal.
**[16:33] Makishima**
Good thing I bought Natsu, Himari-chan,
and Rin-chan's entire high school years!
**[16:41] Makishima**
From now on, no quitting school
or going to Tokyo.
**[16:44] Makishima**
I won't allow it!
**[16:46] Makishima**
Of course, you'll also be forced
to make accessories until we graduate.
**[16:50] Makishima**
Stay tuned for other arrangements to follow.
**[16:53] Himari**
Makishima-kun, you really are the worst.
**[16:57] Makishima**
I like to keep myself amused.
**[16:59] Makishima**
You three's rom-com does the trick.
**[17:04] Makishima**
Nothing wrong with paying
for a little entertainment.
**[17:09] Makishima**
Never mind that.
**[17:10] Makishima**
Now that things are settled, let's go out.
**[17:13] Makishima**
It'll be on Himari-chan, obviously.
**[17:15] Himari**
Why would *I* be paying?!
**[17:18] Makishima**
Who do you have to thank but me?
**[17:20] Makishima**
You can't argue with me ever again!
**[17:24] Himari**
Can you believe this guy, Enocchi?
**[17:26] Rion**
Actually, sushi sounds great right now.
**[17:29] Himari**
I see how it is!
**[17:37] Himari**
I got bailed out but
definitely paid the price.
**[17:41] Yu**
You gotta admit though, it was a huge help.
**[17:45] Himari**
You're so soft on Makishima-kun.
**[17:48] Himari**
You'll end up in trouble
if you keep hanging out with him.
**[17:51] Yu**
I'd say that's already happened a few times.
**[17:55] Himari**
See? You don't sense danger very well.
**[17:59] Himari**
That's why your store will need me!
**[18:03] Yu**
Oh yeah, about that...
**[18:06] Yu**
I'm thinking of abandoning that dream.
**[18:08] Himari**
What?! Why? Why?!
**[18:10] Himari**
It's not like Kureha-san's stopping us!
**[18:13] Yu**
Sorry, I worded that wrong.
**[18:16] Yu**
I meant we still have the same root problem.
**[18:20] Himari**
About what Sakura-san said?
**[18:24] Himari**
The "playground frozen in time," was it?
**[18:28] Yu**
Yup.
**[18:29] Yu**
The main issue was my
stance towards customers.
**[18:34] Himari**
That's on me, too.
**[18:36] Yu**
No, I was the one being spoiled.
**[18:40] Yu**
Saku-nee-san was trying
to tell me that all along.
**[18:43] Yu**
I just wasn't listening to her.
**[18:48] Yu**
I've been thinking, and I see it now.
**[18:50] Yu**
I was too fixated on opening my own store.
**[18:55] Himari**
Are you saying that shouldn't be our dream?
**[19:00] Yu**
No, that's not it.
**[19:02] Yu**
Opening a store by the time we're thirty
was our dream in middle school.
**[19:08] Yu**
But if we don't keep an open mind,
we end up limiting ourselves.
**[19:12] Yu**
Being so focused on that one dream
made me overlook the important things.
**[19:19] Yu**
Like how I wanted to keep flowers
from dying back in grade school.
**[19:24] Yu**
Or how I wanted to share
the beauty I saw in flowers with others.
**[19:30] Yu**
Saku-nee-san was upset that I forgot
why I started in the first place.
**[19:37] Yu**
I'm dreaming even bigger from now on.
**[19:39] Yu**
Opening a store is only part of the process.
**[19:43] Yu**
Love, my dreams, my own store...
**[19:45] Yu**
Maybe it's selfish to want everything.
**[19:48] Yu**
But I'll become someone worthy of it all.
**[19:52] Yu**
From now on, I'll work harder
than Saku-nee-san.
**[19:54] Yu**
I'll make sure Kureha-san
never looks down on me.
**[19:56] Yu**
I won't give Hibari-san any reason to worry.
**[19:59] Yu**
You'll never have to
sacrifice yourself again.
**[20:02] Yu**
I promise to stand on my own two feet.
**[20:06] Yu**
So...
**[20:08] Yu**
It's not enough to have you
until I open a store.
**[20:11] Yu**
Will you let me be selfish
and stand by me forever?
**[20:15] Himari**
Y-You're making me blush.
**[20:22] Yu**
Bwa-ha!
**[20:24] Himari**
Hey, Yu! You idiot!
**[20:27] Yu**
Found your weakness!
It's straightforward confessions!
**[20:30] Himari**
Don't tease me like that!
**[20:32] Himari**
I'm an emotional mess right now!
**[20:33] Himari**
Stop playing it cool!
**[20:37] Yu**
Oh yeah, Himari.
**[20:39] Yu**
You forgot this.
**[20:42] Himari**
My best friend ring...
**[20:48] Himari**
Does this mean we're
still only best friends?
**[20:55] (Flashback) Yu**
A totally unique best
friend ring just for you.
**[20:59] Yu**
Oh, right. I chickened out back then.
**[21:04] Yu**
There's something I haven't
told you about this ring.
**[21:09] Yu**
See this here? It's a purple tulip seed.
**[21:14] Himari**
Yeah, and...?
**[21:17] Yu**
You see, um...
***SIGN*** signifies "eternal love"
**[21:25] Himari**
*We used to be best friends...*
**[21:30] Himari**
*But now... we're not.*
**[21:36] Yu**
Himari!
**[21:38] Himari**
You're late!
**[21:40] Yu**
Sorry, I was up late last night
after my shift at the family store.
**[21:45] Yu**
Thanks for covering for me.
**[21:49] Himari**
Will you give me something in return?
**[21:51] Yu**
Like what?
**[21:52] Himari**
Yu, do you love me?
**[21:55] Himari**
How much?
**[21:56] Himari**
More than anything in the world?
**[21:59] Yu**
M-More than anything in the world.
**[22:01] Yu**
Himari...
**[22:03] Himari**
Go on?
**[22:21] Yu**
I love you.
**[22:31] Himari**
Bwa-he-he.
**[22:33] Yu**
*What was that?*
**[22:34] Yu**
*Did the "Bwa-ha!" just evolve?*
**[22:36] Yu**
*Must be the lovey-dovey version.*
**[22:40] Yu**
* Himari's the cutest girl in the world*
* when she doesn't hide her feelings.*
**[22:46] Makishima**
Good grief.
**[22:47] Makishima**
Getting it on early today, are we?
**[22:50] Rion**
Yu-kun, Hii-chan, good morning.
**[22:52] Yu**
M-Morning, Enomoto-san!
**[22:54] Himari**
You two aren't plotting
to take Yu again, are you?!
**[22:57] Himari**
He's mine!
**[22:59] Rion**
I won't give you these with that attitude.
**[23:02] Rion**
Here you go, Yu-kun.
**[23:04] Yu**
Thanks!
**[23:07] Himari**
Not fair! I want some too!
**[23:07] Yu**
*Sometimes, I get to thinking.*
**[23:12] Yu**
* How we'll probably end up*
* in a similar spot.*
**[23:16] Yu**
* We'll pretend to understand*
* each other even though we don't.*
**[23:21] Yu**
* Even when we know*
* to put our desires into words,*
**[23:24] Yu**
*our pride will sometimes get in the way.*
**[23:27] Yu**
*Still, we'll push forward into the future.*
**[23:32] Yu**
*This is our summer playground.*
**[23:35] Yu**
*It's not over yet.*
