**[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*** Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive?
***SIGN*** (No, It Can't!!)
***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!
