SIGN    The Scent of Cherry Sage
[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!

[21:55] Teacher
    If you can get a perfect score,
    do the work to begin with!
[21:58] Yu
    Sorry about that!

    Thankfully, I got
    by without having to quit high school.
