[00:01] Yu
    Jeez...
[00:03] Yu
    I haven't slept at all the past two days.
[00:06] Yu
    I never thought my first crush
[00:08] Yu
    from the botanical garden
    would be Enomoto-san...
[00:12] Yu
    I've been trying to tell Himari about this,
[00:14] Yu
    but she keeps leaving me on read.
[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!

SIGN    Tulips and the Face of Love
[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!
