    What're you doing, Ayase?
[00:10] Nishida
    That's not gonna be on the test.
[00:13] Nishida
    You've been top of your game
    in karuta since that last win.
[00:16] Nishida
    Mashima should be the only one
    feeling all gloomy.
[00:19] Nishida
    I think losing to Wataya Arata and getting
    fourth prize is pretty darn good, myself...

[03:13] Kanade
    Hanano-san did say she'd
    be about an hour late!
[03:16] Kanade
    I'll go buy chocolate bars
    from the convenience store!
[03:18] Sumire
    What are you two doing?
[03:20] Sumire
    I told you not to start before I got here!
[03:26] Sumire
    I've been making chocolates
    since I was in second grade.
[03:29] Sumire
    I make tons of it to give
    my friends every year,
[03:32] Sumire
    so I have plenty of wrapping
    and other tools, too.
[03:34] Sumire
    You can ask me anything.
SIGN    Such a girl!!
SIGN    All I can cook is rice...
[03:36] Sumire
    In fact, I'd venture to say that
    chocolate-making for beginners
[03:39] Sumire
    is all about making something far removed
    from chocolate and presenting it as chocolate.
[03:44] Chihaya
    What does that mean?
[03:45] Sumire
    If a beginner just melts chocolate bars
    and reforms them into different shapes,
[03:50] Sumire
    you can't temper it, so it'll just
    separate and drop in quality.
SIGN    Te... Temper ...?
[03:53] Sumire
    If you stick close to the original chocolate,
[03:55] Sumire
    it'll never match up to the
    stuff you can buy in stores.
[03:58] Sumire
    In my experience, the best chocolates
    that leave the best impression
[04:01] Sumire
    are the ones made with flour and cocoa!
[04:04] Kanade
    Flour and cocoa?
[04:05] Chihaya
    Not chocolate?
[04:06] Sumire
    Today we'll be making chocolate waffles,
     cocoa marshmallows,
[04:11] Sumire
    and black cocoa shortbread cookies.
[04:13] Sumire
    They're filling, perfect for boys,
    and don't need refrigeration.
[04:17] Kanade
    Wow... Hanano-san really does
    calculate everything in life!
[04:22] Sumire
    Ayase-senpai!
[04:23] Sumire
    Proportions are everything in baking,
    so measure properly!
[04:26] Kanade
    I didn't know sweets and Valentines
    could make someone shine so bright!
SIGN    Oe-senpai, you need
     to measure, too!
[04:30] Three
    Let's start the Valentine's cooking!
SIGN    Valentine's Cooking!!
SIGN    Knead the dough well to produce plenty of gluten
SIGN    Add the butter in three separate portions and knead well to make it shine
SIGN    Chocolate Waffles
SIGN    Let the dough rise to 1.5x the original size
SIGN    Add chocolate chips and fold
SIGN    After proofing, cook on low heat
SIGN    3-4 minutes on both sides
[04:44] Chihaya
    W-W...
[04:45] Chihaya
    Wow!
[04:46] Chihaya
    It's so good!
SIGN    Smells great!
[04:47] Sumire
    No eating! We're moving on!
SIGN    Mix corn syrup, sugar, cocoa, and water in a small pan, warm to 125°C, then add gelatin
SIGN    Break up egg whites in a bowl over ice water, add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form
SIGN    Cocoa Marshmallows
SIGN    Combine the two mixtures and beat at high speed with a handheld mixer
[04:53] Chihaya
    Handheld mixers are incredible!
[04:55] Sumire
    I bet you could manage with your
    hands alone, Ayase-senpai.
SIGN    Pour into a mold and allow to set gradually
SIGN    You can make a box out of baking sheets, too.
SIGN    Cut into small pieces with a knife coated in corn starch
SIGN    Black Cocoa Shortbread Cookies
[05:02] Chihaya
    They're so good!
[05:03] Kanade
    And so cute!

    Hanano-san, you're amazing!
[05:05] Chihaya
    The boys are going to be so happy!

[05:10] Sumire

    Oh, Taichi?
[05:18] Chihaya
    He got tons of chocolates
    every year as a kid, so...
SIGN    Fermented Squid Guts
[05:22] Chihaya
    He'd probably be happier to
    get fermented squid guts!
[05:27] Sumire
    Are you serious?!
[05:28] Sumire
    Everything we just did was a total waste, then!
[05:30] Chihaya
    Oh... Sorry.
[05:32] Kanade
    There are lots of boys like that, though.
[05:35] Kanade
    Should we make some fermented squid guts?
[05:36] Sumire
    What?!
[05:37] Sumire
    Right here? Right now?
    Fermented squid guts?!
[05:39] Sumire
    Cocoa and fermented squid guts?!
[05:41] Chihaya
    Nah, no way!
[05:43] Sumire
    Obviously not! Even a nice
    guy like him would barf!
[05:47] Kanade
    The ribbons are so cute.
[05:49] Sumire
    If we're all eating them together in the
    club room, why not prepare it as a picnic?
[05:52] Chihaya
    Good idea! Let's have fun with it!
[05:54] Chihaya
    Lots of fun!
[05:55] Kanade
    I like that color!

    forget to bring them tomorrow.

[07:14] Kanade
    Were you late because you were buying that?
[07:17] Kanade

[07:20] Kanade
    You're giving him those
    instead of homemade ones?
[07:24] Sumire
    W-Well, they say it has a
    100 percent chance of success...
[07:29] Sumire
    Chance of success?
[07:32] Sumire
    I know I don't even have one.
[07:34] Sumire
    I know it's zero... but still...
[07:41] Kanade
    No matter what you give him,
    even if it's not on Valentine's Day,
[07:47] Kanade
    I think you can get your feelings
    across whenever you want.

    They're transplanted directly

     we'll go see the cherry blossoms!
[16:03] Taichi
    Huh? Cherry blossoms?
[16:04] Chihaya
    I'm gonna visit the bookstore
    before going home!
[16:06] Taichi
    Er, then I'll come with—
[16:07] Chihaya
    Don't! I'm buying a book
    I can't tell anyone about!
[16:12] Hiroshi
    Eyelashes?
[16:14] Taichi
    Hiroshi-san?
[16:15] Taichi
    Huh? Hiroshi-san?
[16:19] Taichi
    Wait, wait, wait!
[16:20] Taichi
    This isn't right, Hiroshi-san!
SIGN    Took

    uniform
    necktie
[16:22] Hiroshi
    What's not? Kids come to izakaya
    all the time nowadays.
[16:25] Hiroshi
    Keep me company.
[16:27] Hiroshi
    Here! Cheers!
SIGN    Ordered 5 glasses to start
[16:29] Hiroshi
    Hurry up and turn twenty, would you?
SIGN    °Drinks them all to start
SIGN    More!
[16:37] Hiroshi
    Whew... I've been wanting to
    ask this for a long time.
[16:42] Hiroshi
    How'd your match with Wataya-kun go?
[16:54] Miyauchi
    Everything you've learned in your lives...
[17:00] Taichi
    It was like being an exam student.
[17:04] Hiroshi
    What does that mean?
[17:06] (Flashback) Miyauchi
    He studies, asks questions,
    gains an understanding, and practices.
[17:12] (Flashback) Miyauchi
    This has become habitual for him.
[17:16] Taichi
    It was like he'd spent his
    entire life preparing
[17:20] Taichi
    in order to become the Master...
[17:24] Taichi
    And like he was enjoying it.
[17:28] (Flashback) Chihaya
    He's gonna be the Master!
[17:34] Waitress
    Here you go.
[17:38] Hiroshi
    You're really something, Eyelashes.
[17:40] Hiroshi
    You think the two of you
    are that different,
[17:43] Hiroshi
    but you can still feel frustrated.
[17:48] Hiroshi
    Sorry to make you keep me company.
[17:51] Taichi
    It's okay.
[17:52] Hiroshi
    I should've tried to talk to you sooner.
[17:54] Taichi
    No, it's not a problem.
[17:57] Taichi
    Goodnight.
[18:00] Hiroshi
    Chihaya-chan asked me.
[18:05] Hiroshi
    She asked me to get you to talk.
[18:13] Taichi
    I bet she just wanted to
    know about Arata, right?
[18:17] Hiroshi
    That's what you think? You sure are dumb.
[18:21] Hiroshi
    Goodnight.
[18:25] Girl
    You're so lucky!

[18:27] Girl
    You got a gift in return for
    Valentine's Day? A wallet?
[18:29] Sumire
    Wow, must be nice to have a boyfriend.
[18:32] Girl
    You still haven't given up
    on Mashima-senpai, Sumire?
[18:35] Girl
    It's never gonna happen.
[18:36] Girl
    Plenty of fish in the sea.
[18:37] Girl
    I mean, a guy with his looks named
    "Taichi"? It just feels wrong.
[18:40] Girl
    Yeah, it means "the fattest"!
[18:42] Sumire
    What's wrong with being fat?!
[18:45] Sumire
    S-S-Senpai!
[18:46] Sumire
    I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[18:48] Taichi
    Nah, I've wondered why I got stuck with
    this name ever since I was a kid.
[18:52] Sumire
    Taichi's a great name! It's totally fine!
SIGN    I figured a mom like her would've come up with a flashier name
[18:55] Taichi
    Here.
[18:56] Taichi
    It's not much, but it's in return
    for the fermented squid guts.
[19:01] Taichi
    Thanks.
[19:03] Sumire
    I really like you!
[19:05] Sumire
    I want you
[19:06] Sumire
    to tell the person you like*
    how you feel, too!
[19:10] Taichi
    I think... I'm gonna go tell her.
[19:14] Sumire
    What?! Tell her what?!
[19:16] Taichi
    What... you...
[19:16] Sumire
    Right now?!
[19:17] Taichi
    Well, not this very—
[19:18] Sumire
    Don't do it!
[19:19] Taichi
    Huh?
[19:20] Sumire
    J-Just wait two more weeks!
[19:21] Taichi
    Huh?
[19:22] Sumire
    I-I need to go see Oe-senpai!
[19:24] Sumire
    I promised to give her
    eyelash growth serum!
SIGN    You can't tell her right now!
[19:25] Taichi
    Huh?!
[19:26] Sumire
    Just wait two weeks, please!
SIGN    Don't! Don't you dare!
[19:28] Taichi
    Eyelash growth?
[19:30] Sumire
    Sorry I'm late!
[19:31] Kanade
    You certainly are late, Hanano-san!
[19:33] Kanade
    We need to be in the club room getting
    ready every day of spring break!
[19:35] Kanade
    Chihaya-chan's been working hard, too.
SIGN    As fast as an old-school flip phone allows
[19:37] Kanade
    She's gotten really fast
    at typing messages!
[19:40] Chihaya
    Mr. Mochida said we can borrow cards from
    the High School Cultural Federation if we ask.
[19:44] Chihaya
    I sent messages out to everyone.
[19:45] Chihaya
    I asked Porky's sister to
    make T-shirts for us, too.
[19:49] Chihaya
    Kana-chan, how much should we make
     the entry fee to even out the budget?
[19:52] Kanade
    Just a second. I'm almost
    done working it out.
[19:56] Sumire
    Oe-senpai, here.
[19:58] Kanade
    Huh?
[19:58] Sumire
    The eyelash growth serum.
[20:00] Kanade
    Huh?!
[20:01] Sumire
    It works okay-ish, but I don't need it anymore.
[20:08] (Flashback) Taichi
    I think... I'm gonna go tell her.
[20:15] Sumire
    I wanted to be pretty.
[20:18] Sumire
    I wanted to be pretty...
[20:21] Sumire
    But I was wrong.
[20:24] Sumire
    Okay! I'm ready to work, too!
[20:27] Nishida
    Make a roster!
[20:28] Sumire
    Give me the data!
[20:30] Kanade
    Who made this design for the T-shirts?!
[20:33] Nishida
    My sister's already started making them!
[20:36] Sumire
    That's not what it means to like someone.
[20:37] Nishida
    This design's fine, right?
[20:39] Kanade
    What?!
[20:40] Sumire
    It's greedy, tenacious, and...
[20:42] Chihaya
    I want to make Taichi happy!
[20:45] Taichi
    So where are we going to
    look at cherry blossoms?
[20:48] Taichi
    Where should we reserve a spot?
[20:51] Chihaya
    Put this T-shirt on, Taichi!
[20:52] Taichi
    Huh? What the heck is—
[20:56] Chihaya
    Because I didn't fulfill my goal on Valentine's
    Day, my desire grew even more intense.
