[01:34] Mei
You're intruding again?
[01:35] Matsuri
How mean. Lecturing me right off the bat?
[01:40] Matsuri
I've been waiting all this
time for you in the cold.
[01:45] Matsuri
Please, warm me up, too.
[01:48] Matsuri
Like you did for Yuzu-chan at the bus stop.
[01:57] Matsuri
I thought I'd repay you for that
show by leaving you senseless,
[02:05] Matsuri
but that would just be a reward for you,
[02:09] ---
when you're the type to go
around kissing anybody.
[02:13] Mei
You want something, don't you?
[02:15] Matsuri
Yes. I brought you a present.
[02:19] Matsuri
Well? Good shot, right?
[02:23] Mei
What are you after?
[02:25] Matsuri
I told you before.
[02:27] Matsuri
I don't want you going near my Yuzu-chan.
[02:33] Matsuri
But you were so fast to break
that rule, even after I warned you.
[02:37] Matsuri
Well, you're just a twisted slut,
so it's no surprise.
[02:43] Matsuri
You're a woman too,
after all, Miss President.
[02:50] Matsuri
So, I thought about what
the best solution would be.
[02:55] Matsuri
I just needed to arrange someone
else for lonely little Mei-san.
[03:06] Matsuri
So please go play with my text pals.
[03:10] Matsuri
I need to respect the laws
adults have, after all.
[03:15] Matsuri
Don't worry. There are plenty of people
who'd love to touch you, Mei-san.
[03:22] Matsuri
That's it for my present.
[03:25] Matsuri
Oh, also...
[03:27] Matsuri
If you don't accept this present of mine,
[03:31] ---
I might think about sending
this photo to certain places.
[03:36] Matsuri
You're smart, so you know
what will happen, right?
[03:58] Mei
Yuzu won't be what you want her to be.
[04:01] Matsuri
It's fine. Yuzu-chan's
my big sister after all.
[04:11] Yuzu
Huh?! Failed again?!
[04:15] Yuzu
Why is this happening?!
[04:18] Mama
I'm home—Huh?!
[04:22] Mama
What is all this?
[04:24] Yuzu
Welcome back, Mama.
[04:26] Mama
There's sponge cake everywhere.
[04:28] Yuzu
The cake's the hardest part.
[04:31] Mama
I would've bought one if you asked.
[04:33] Yuzu
No!
[04:34] Yuzu
I decided to make it from scratch this year!

[04:37] Yuzu
Hmm... It has to be the temperature, right?
SIGN Directions
1. Place eggs and sugar in a bowl, then mix.

remove once melted and then whip.
3. Shake flour into the mixture,
fold it in carefully, then mix further
after adding the melted butter.
4. Lay the parchment paper in the sponge
cake pan and pour in the batter.
[04:40] Yuzu
Maybe I need to preheat the oven more?
[04:44] Yuzu
The measurements should be right,
but maybe I'm mixing it wrong?
[04:47] Mama
Sounds like we'll have a fun
Christmas this year.
[05:04] Yuzu
It's done!
[05:09] Mama
My, how cute.
[05:11] Mama
It turned out well, didn't it?
[05:12] Mama
Maybe I should stop buying them at the store
and ask you to bake the cake from now?
[05:14] Yuzu
It's my first Christmas after
becoming Mei's sister...
[05:18] Mama
The decoration's nice and festive, too.
[05:18] Yuzu
I hope she enjoys the cake.
[05:20] Mama
What's this bear for?
[05:22] Yuzu
Good, isn't it?
[05:23] Yuzu
I went around to different stores and
picked out one I thought Mei would like.
[05:27] Yuzu
I'm sure she'llー
[05:29] Yuzu
Welcome home, Mei!
[05:30] Mama
Welcome home, Mei-chan.
[05:32] Mama
How was student council?
[05:35] Yuzu
We're getting things ready for Christmas,
but is there anything you'd like to eat, Mei?
[05:40] Yuzu
If you've got a request I can
pick stuff up on the way—
[05:42] Mei
Um...
[05:43] Yuzu
Hm?
[05:44] Mei
I'm sorry, but there's still some work
left to do with the student council.
[05:50] Mei
I don't think I'll be able to make
the Christmas party tomorrow night.
[05:54] Yuzu
Huh?!
[05:56] Mama
Oh, dear.
[05:57] Yuzu
You're spending Christmas
with the student council?
[06:01] Yuzu
There's nothing you can do about it?
[06:03] Mama
Yuzu! Don't force her.
[06:05] Yuzu
But...
[06:07] Mei
I'm sorry.
[06:16] Yuzu
There's nothing she can do?
[06:22] Yuzu
Mei, the bathroom's open.
[06:25] Mei
All right. Thank you.
[06:31] Yuzu
Hey, Mei, can't you take tomorrow
off from the student council?
[06:37] Yuzu
Push it back until the next day, or...
SIGN We'll meet tomorrow at the designated time, in front of the Christmas arch at the station!
SIGN Close Open
[06:39] Yuzu
Oh, but then it's winter break.
[06:44] Mei
There's something I have to get done.
[06:54] Yuzu
I see.
[06:56] Yuzu
Am I being a child?
[06:59] Yuzu
Hmm?
SIGN Matsuri: Good evening, nya. Yuzu-chan, let's go on a date tomorrow! I found a shop that sells great cakes. I bet you'll love it, Yuzu-chan. How about going together after school? Of course, just us two, since it's a date!

[07:11] Yuzu
A date with me on Christmas, huh?
[07:13] Yuzu
I'm sure there's someone
else she could invite.
[07:16] Mei
Yuzu.
[07:17] ---
Yes?
[07:19] Mei
See that girl tomorrow.
[07:22] Yuzu
Huh?
[07:26] Mei
That girl needs you.
[07:36] Yuzu
What did she mean, she needs me?
[07:40] Harumi
Hey!
[07:41] Harumi
Yuzucchi!
[07:45] Yuzu
That hurt! What's with the sudden attack?!
[07:48] Harumi
I'll tell you what's with it!
[07:50] Harumi
I said, "Let's go home together,"
and you left me behind!
[07:54] Yuzu
Huh? Seriously?
[07:56] Yuzu
Sorry, Harumin! I didn't hear you.
[08:00] Harumi
You sure don't look terribly excited,
even though it's Christmas.
[08:06] Harumi
Did something happen?
[08:07] Yuzu
Mei said she's busy with the student council.
[08:12] Harumi
That's impressive.
[08:13] Harumi
She should take today off, at least.
[08:15] Yuzu
That's what I said.
[08:18] Harumi
Well, I'll head home first, then.
[08:20] Yuzu
Huh? Harumin?
[08:22] Yuzu
Aren't we going home together?
[08:24] Harumi
You're gonna help the
student council, right?
[08:26] Yuzu
Ah!
[08:28] Harumi
I'm not into that, so I'll see you later.
[08:34] Yuzu
That's it.
[08:41] Yuzu
I'll give it a shot, even if it won't work!
[08:45] Matsuri
Yuzu-chan!
[08:52] Matsuri
You never replied about
the date, so now I'm here!
[08:55] Yuzu
Matsuri?!
[08:58] Yuzu
Ah, over here.
[09:02] Yuzu
I said that you can't just
show up on your own, right?
[09:05] Yuzu
What if someone catches you?!
[09:06] Matsuri
Hey, forget about that...
[09:09] Matsuri
Why didn't you reply?
[09:11] Yuzu
Well, I wasn't sure what my
schedule would be today, so...
[09:16] Matsuri
Oh? I see.
[09:20] Matsuri
So, do you know your schedule now?
[09:24] Matsuri
Will you go on a date with me today?
[09:29] Yuzu
Yeah, I'm free.
[09:31] Matsuri
Yay!
[09:33] Matsuri
There's somewhere I'd like to go.
[09:37] Yuzu
This is for the best, right, Mei?
SIGN I'll be waiting outside the station. Tell me what you'll be wearing. You're coming like you promised, right?

[10:35] Yuzu
I think it's been a while since
I've seen you so happy, Matsuri.
[10:40] Matsuri
The cake's delicious, y'know?
[10:43] Matsuri
Well, that's not the only reason I'm happy.
[10:49] Yuzu
What do you mean?
[10:51] Matsuri
Because I'm with you, Yuzu-chan!
[10:59] Yuzu
I was practicing baking
cakes up until yesterday.
[11:03] Yuzu
So I thought I might be sick
of eating them by now.
[11:08] Yuzu
It's scary that I can keep going just fine.
[11:11] Matsuri
Oh? You were baking the Christmas
cake from scratch this year?
[11:16] Yuzu
It's hard getting this
fluffy consistency right.
[11:22] Matsuri
It was never homemade when I was there.
[11:25] Yuzu
Hm?
[11:27] Matsuri
It's nothing.
[11:28] Yuzu
That reminds me, you used to join us
for Christmas every year, too.
[11:46] Yuzu
When I saw you playing by yourself
because your parents were busy...
[11:53] Yuzu
I called out to you, and then...
[12:17] Yuzu
That was day we started
acting like sisters.
[12:22] Yuzu
Hey, Matsuri. Are your parents
still busy with work like always?
[12:27] Matsuri
Hm?
[12:28] Matsuri
Those two are married to their work.
[12:32] Yuzu
I see...
[12:33] Yuzu
Then, hey! Why don't you join us
for our Christmas party again?
[12:42] Matsuri
You mean join you as family,
as your little sister, right?
[12:47] Yuzu
Huh? Yeah.
[12:49] Yuzu
Mama would by happy if you joined us.
[12:52] Yuzu
And I'm sure Mei would be happy too,
because she'd have more family.
[12:59] Matsuri
There you go about Mei-san again.
[13:02] Yuzu
Huh?
[13:03] Matsuri
Mei-san this, Mei-san that.
[13:05] Matsuri
That's all that ever comes out whenever
you open your mouth. It's so stupid.
[13:09] Yuzu
Matsuri?
[13:11] Matsuri
If you want your beloved Mei-san so bad,
[13:13] ---
she's meeting with some strange
man outside the station.
[13:16] Yuzu
Huh?
[13:17] Matsuri
I bet she's enjoying her
Christmas right about now.
[13:21] Yuzu
What are you saying, Matsuri?
[13:23] Yuzu
These weird lies aren't funny.
[13:25] Matsuri
They're not lies.
[13:27] Matsuri
Remember my work phone?
Mei-san has it right now.
[13:32] Matsuri
If you call it now, you might
even get through to her.

[13:38] Matsuri
Mei-san isn't the diligent,
perfect student you think she is.
[13:44] Matsuri
She's actually a huge slut,
[13:46] ---
and she's unbelievably cruel.
She could easily lie to you.
[13:51] Matsuri
See? So give up on her already,
[13:55] Matsuri
and look only at me!
[13:59] Matsuri
Okay, Yuzu-chan?
[14:04] Yuzu
I see, so Mei...
[14:07] (Flashback) Mei
That girl needs you.
[14:12] Yuzu
Matsuri, let's go apologize.
[14:15] Matsuri
Huh? To who?
[14:17] Yuzu
To the one person who looked at you the most!
[14:21] Girls
Are they fighting?
[14:22] Yuzu
The person who urged me to come out here today
and pay more attention to you was Mei.
[14:31] Yuzu
So...
[14:32] Matsuri
What's with this?
[14:34] Matsuri
That's saying I did just
what Mei-san wanted!
[14:37] Matsuri
This is Mei-san's loss
any way you look at it!
[14:41] Matsuri
An empty shell like Mei-san
could never win against—

words like winning or losing!

[15:48] Mei
I didn't know how to answer,
so I accidentally hung up.
[15:56] Yuzu
Mei!
[16:13] Mei
Well? Did you have a fun Christmas?
[16:16] Matsuri
Are you rubbing it in?
[16:20] Matsuri
It's game over.
[16:22] Matsuri
I'm sure Yuzu-chan hates me now, too.
[16:25] Matsuri
You've stolen my position as her
little sister, on top of that.
[16:31] Matsuri
In the end, there's no one out there
who'll look at me and only me.
[16:38] Mei
You and I are alike.
[16:41] Mei
I always sought love, too.
[16:45] Mei
I hated those around me, closed my heart,
and refused to accept anything.
[16:51] Mei
Before I knew it, I was empty.
[16:55] Matsuri
Empty.
[16:56] Mei
Yes, but...
[16:58] Mei
There are meddlesome people in this world
[17:01] Mei
who will give you love
even if you don't ask for it.
[17:06] Mei
We're blessed just by knowing
someone like that.
[17:11] Matsuri
But it was pretty reckless of you
just to try and beat—lecture me.
[17:17] Matsuri
What if he had forced you to go with him?
[17:22] Mei
I was prepared to face
that situation if it happened.
[17:26] Matsuri
Huh? You would've had to sleep
with some weird old guy, though!
[17:30] Mei
I'm like you.
[17:33] Mei
I think I wanted to test it, too.
[17:36] Mei
How Yuzu feels.
[17:42] Mei
You'd be better off being more honest, Mei-san.

[17:57] Matsuri
Oh, I'll give you a Christmas present for
all the trouble I caused, Yuzu-chan.

What?

Mei-san may look all aloof, but...

She really likes you, Yuzu-chan.
[18:19] Matsuri
Well, as an older sister, that is!

Well, thanks for playing
with me, my big sisters.

Three?

with Mei-chan, too.

Good night. ―Mama
[19:17] Mei
Hey, Yuzu?
[19:18] Yuzu
Hm?
[19:23] Yuzu
You'll get fat if you eat it this late.
[19:26] Yuzu
You could save it for tomorrow.
[19:29] Mei
You baked this cake for today, right?
[19:31] Mei
Then it won't be as good
if I don't eat it today.
[19:35] Yuzu
You're pretty stubborn, aren't you, Mei?

You're just like your
grandpa on that front.

Awful.

Mei.
[20:16] Yuzu
I'm really sorry about today.

I'm really dense, and a bad older sister.

I hurt both you and Matsuri...
[20:27] Yuzu
I'm the worst.
[20:32] Mei
You really are a crybaby.
[20:36] Yuzu
Mei!
[20:39] Yuzu

Never do anything like you did today,
where you might get hurt.
