[00:00] Maid
    I'll be right back, meow.
SIGN    Comical Psychosomatic Medicine!
[00:03] Ryou
    What?! Iyashi-san is sizing up the competition?!
SIGN    Episode 18
    "Subconscious Patterns of
    People Likely to Suffer
    from Mental Disorders"
[00:05] Asuna
    Oh, it's not like at a sumo match, though.
SIGN    Face each other!
[00:08] Ryou
    I know that!
[00:10] Himeru
    Don't say such mean things, Asuna.
[00:11] Himeru
    It's the kind of meeting
    where two people assess
SIGN    Looks
SIGN    Age
[00:13] Himeru
    each other's looks, age, and income,
SIGN    Income
SIGN    Personality
[00:14] Himeru
    as well as whether the other has
    a personality they can control,
SIGN    I guess that's about it...
[00:16] Himeru
    and determine what they'd be willing
    to compromise if they lived together.
[00:18] Ryou
    Right, the kind of meeting where
    they find what to compromise on...
[00:20] Ryou
    Wait, what you're saying is even meaner!
[00:22] Asuna
    Oh, right...
SIGN    I did not feel a connection this time. I wish you the best in the future.
[00:23] Asuna
    You mean the kind where she finds things
    to compromise on, and he refuses?
[00:26] Ryou
    Why do you assume he'll refuse...
[00:28] Ryou
    Er, huh?
SIGN    ※We apologize for the distorted audio and video in the previous section.
[00:29] Asuna
    Today will actually be
    Onee-chan's 108th meeting.
SIGN    108th...
[00:33] Ryou
    What, like the New Year's bell?!
[00:34] [SONG] Text
    Let's go snoop!
    It'll be hilarious!
[00:34] Asuna
    Doctor, I'm worried. Could we sneak
    over and keep an eye on her?
SIGN    It's not because of any sort of "special circumstances"!
[00:37] Ryou
    Uh, I think your real intentions
    are written all over your face...
SIGN    It's really not... um... If you just can't accept that, visit the mental clinic!
[00:41] Asuna
    By the way, the place they're meeting in
    is kind of informal, so don't be surprised.
[00:45] Asuna
    Oh, here it is.
SIGN    Moemimi Café
[00:48] Maid
    Welcome ho-meow, Master!
SIGN    Nozoki/Kangoshi Marriage Meeting Site
[00:51] Ryou
    You can only take "informal" so far!
[00:53] Ryou
    Who has a marriage meeting in a maid café?!
[00:55] Asuna
    Onee-chan's in there.
[00:56] Ryou
    That's beyond eccentric!
[00:57] Maid
    What'll you have, meow?
[00:57] Ryou
    That nice kimono just looks
    like some fanatical cosplay!
[00:59] Guy
    I'll have the Special Meow-Meow Drink.
[01:00] Asuna
    She's been turned down
    in so many normal places,
[01:02] Maid
    Got it, meow!
[01:02] Asuna
    she thought maybe it'd work out
    in a place that was less typical.
[01:05] Ryou
    This is even worse!
[01:06] Ryou
    So where's the guy?
[01:07] Asuna
    It's that guy in the Japanese clothing.
[01:09] Ryou
    Japanese? I don't see...
SIGN    Japan
[01:11] Ryou
    You don't call that "Japanese clothing"!
[01:13] Ryou
    And that's the voyeur guy we saw before!
[01:16] Asuna
    When you've done this 108 times,
    guys like him are all that's left.
[01:19] Himeru
    B-But you know, despite his looks,
    he might be a nice person.
[01:23] Iyashi
    S-So, what type of women do you like?
SIGN    Middle school girls.
SIGN    Middle school girls♥
[01:28] Ryou
    How is that supposed to lead
    into a marriage meeting?!
[01:30] Iyashi
    Wh-What's your favorite food?
[01:31] Guy
    Rice balls made by middle school girls.
[01:34] Ryou
    That has nothing to do with
    appetite! That's just lust!
[01:36] Iyashi
    Wh-What's your dream for the future?
[01:38] Guy
    To marry into a middle school girl's family.
[01:41] Ryou
    Why'd you even come here?!
SIGN    Tremble
[01:42] Ryou
    Worst of all, that's not legally possible!
[01:45] Iyashi
    H-How wonderful! You're so consistent
    and honest about who you are!
[01:49] Ryou
    What?! How did you interpret
    that so favorably?!
[01:51] Guy
    But are you okay with this?
[01:53] Guy
    Doesn't just meeting me like this
    cause you all kinds of trouble?
[01:56] Ryou
    What an awful thing to say!
[01:57] Ryou
    And I can't tell if you're being
    sarcastic or just masochistic!
[01:59] Ryou
    Why are you turning red?
[02:01] Himeru
    Sometimes, when Onee-chan
    is insulted, she turns red.
[02:05] Himeru
    Is it psychologically possible to fall
    for someone because they insulted you?
SIGN    Cognitive Consistency Theory
[02:10] Ryou
    Then, today, let's discuss the
[02:12] Ryou
    "cognitive consistency theory" of
    psychologists Deutsch and Solomon.
[02:15] Ryou
    Put simply, people with
    high opinions of themselves
SIGN    High
[02:16] [SONG] Text
    People with high opinions of themselves
    like people who think highly of them
SIGN    You're
    really
    great.
[02:18] Ryou
    like people who think highly of them.
SIGN    Low
[02:19] [SONG] Text
    People with low opinions of themselves
    like people who think poorly of them
SIGN    You're
    no
    good.
[02:20] Ryou
    And people with low opinions of themselves
    like people who think poorly of them.
[02:24] Himeru
    Really?
[02:25] Ryou
    Yes, in other words, since what he
    says matches her own self-image...
SIGN    "He understands me..."
SIGN    "He understands me..."
[02:29] Ryou
    ...is what she'll think.
[02:30] Ryou
    But if someone says the opposite...
SIGN    You're no good.
SIGN    What's with him? Jerk...
SIGN    You're really great.
SIGN    Giving me cheap compliments when he doesn't even know me...
[02:35] Ryou
    It ends up this way.
[02:37] Himeru
    Oh, I think I underst—
[02:38] Grandpa
    I understand!
[02:39] Grandpa
    It burns me up when clerks in
    department stores offer me an S!
SIGN    You're an S, correct?
SIGN    Vice versa! I'm a total M!
SIGN    I'm a total M!
[02:45] Ryou
    Don't lump clothing sizes and
    sexual fetishes together!
[02:48] Maid
    See you again-meow, Master!
[02:49] Ryou
    So, those who like people with high
    opinions of them are confident people.
[02:51] Girl
    You're really great.
[02:53] Guy
    All right! Now I'm even more confident!
[02:54] Ryou
    Because of that, they can
    accept compliments happily.
[02:56] Asuna
    I see!
[02:57] Ryou
    But those who like people who think
    poorly of them may lack confidence.
[03:01] Ryou
    So when someone insults them, they
    think the person understands them,
SIGN    You're no good♥
[03:03] Ryou
    and end up trusting them.
[03:05] Asuna
    So is that why tsundere girls in anime
    have such deeply rooted popularity?
SIGN    Are you stupid?
    I'm not doing this for you or anything!
[03:09] Ryou
    It's possible that, for people
    with low confidence,
SIGN    Ooooh!
[03:11] Ryou
    being treated coldly inspires
    a feeling of trust.
[03:14] Ryou
    So if you like people who think highly
    of you, that's a very good thing.
[03:19] Ryou
    But if you tend to like people
    who think poorly of you,
[03:22] Ryou
    try accepting compliments
    gratefully now and then.
[03:25] Ryou
    No matter how small, if you can accept
    yourself and those around you positively,
[03:29] Ryou
    that's where everything will begin.
[03:31] Himeru
    Got it!
[03:32] Asuna
    Does that mean Iyashi-oneechan
[03:34] Asuna
    has lost confidence after failing
    in so many marriage meetings?
[03:37] Himeru
    You're saying that might be why she
    falls for people who reject her?
[03:42] Ryou
    S-So it would seem...
[03:44] Guy
    Wait, you don't even have
    a boyfriend yet, do you?
[03:47] Guy
    You're not a middle school girl
    anymore, so shouldn't you hurry?
[03:50] Iyashi
    Y-Yes...
[03:50] Ryou
    She doesn't want to hear that from you!
[03:52] Guy
    Well, if you asked me to marry you,
    I might be willing to think about it.
[03:57] Guy
    Of course, middle school girls are best,
SIGN    Tremble
[03:59] Guy
    but I actually have a broad strike zone.
[04:01] Ryou
    That's the worst expression
    of affection ever!
[04:03] Guy
    We'll have our wedding at the
    local girls' middle school!
[04:05] Iyashi
    U-Um...
[04:06] Ryou
    Your face is redder than ever!
[04:08] Ryou
    D-D-Don't tell me...
[04:10] Iyashi
    This is my answer.
[04:11] Ryou
    Wait! You're really giving the OK?!
[04:20] Voice
    KO!
SIGN    Bam
[04:23] Ryou
    It was "KO"!
[04:25] ---
    You win!
[04:29] Iyashi
    That's 108 wins out of 108 battles.
[04:32] Asuna
    By the way, all the other
    guys were KO'ed, too.
[04:35] Ryou
    Would you call those "wins"?
SIGN    If you thought you were winning, but have a
    feeling you're losing, visit the mental clinic!
