Renji-kun, can you take care of this?

All right.
***SIGN*** Valentine's Day Fair
**[03:33] Lily**
Bloody hell.
**[03:35] Renji**
Huh?
**[03:40] Renji**
*She's trying again?*
**[03:42] Renji**
Sorry, miss, but that's what
keeps the economy going.
**[03:46] Part-timer A**
Come on, Renji-kun!
**[03:48] Renji**
I'm sorry! I'll be right there!
**[04:02] Lily**

**[04:06] Renji**
I'm heading out.

Thanks! Take care.

See you tomorrow.

**[04:19] Renji**
*She's been here a pretty long time.*
**[04:25] Renji**
*After the same cruel, unmoving koala.*

**[05:35] Renji**
*M-Man, should I have just stayed out of it?*
**[05:40] Renji**
Um, a Japanese yuru-chara.
A present for you.
**[05:45] Renji**
How do I say it...
**[05:47] Renji**
Oh!
***SIGN*** Valentine's Day Fair
**[05:50] Renji**
H-Happy Valentine.
**[05:53] Lily**
Valentine's Day?
**[05:57] Renji**
Uh... Yes, yes! Valentine's Day.
A present for you!
**[06:08] Lily**
Are you giving this to me?
**[06:11] Renji**
Yes!
**[06:21] Lily**
Um, all right. Thank you,
I'll cherish it.
**[06:25] Renji**
Oh! Yes, yes!
**[06:28] Renji**
*She just said "thank you," right?*
**[06:30] Renji**
* That's good. She must have really*
* wanted that stuffed animal.*
**[06:35] Lily**
S-See you.
**[06:41] Renji**
* Not sure if I should have said*
* that Valentine stuff, though.*
**[06:48] Renji**
*Oh well. No big deal.*
**[07:11] Renji**
*Present for you.*
**[07:23] Lily's Mom**
Hey, fancy a cuppa with me?
I've just made some tea.
**[07:26] Lily**
M-Mom... knock!
**[07:28] Lily's Mom**
Oh? I knocked properly, you know.
**[07:33] Lily's Mom**
You seem to quite like that stuffed toy.
**[07:38] Lily's Mom**
Something to do with puberty, maybe?
**[07:50] Part-timer A**
Hey, Renji-kun...
**[07:52] Renji**
Yeah...?
**[08:00] Part-timer A**
Did you do something?
**[08:02] Renji**
No way! I haven't done anything...
Not a thing...
**[08:13] Renji**
*She definitely thinks I'm a creep, doesn't she?*
**[08:25] Renji**
H-Hello.
**[08:31] Lily**
H-Hi.
**[08:33] Renji**
Uh, hi. Oh.
**[08:52] Renji**
U-Um...
**[08:54] Renji**
If it's okay with you,
my shift is almost over.
**[08:56] Renji**
I could show you around the place.
**[08:59] Lily**
Huh?
**[09:00] Renji**
Oh. I will guide you this game center.
**[09:08] Lily**
Game center?
**[09:10] Renji**
Yes! Ga-cen.
**[09:12] Renji**
I'm guide you, this ga-cen!
**[09:18] Lily**
Ga-cen...
**[09:20] Lily**
Will you show me around?
**[09:22] Renji**
Show? Aroun?
**[09:25] Renji**
I will escort you!
**[09:27] Lily**
Uh...
**[09:29] Lily**
Are you going to escort me, then?
**[09:32] Renji**
Oh, yes! Yes!
**[09:48] Renji**
See? *Saiko*, right?
**[09:50] Lily**
"Saiko?" What's that?
**[10:01] Game voice**
*Turn around. Turn around.*
**[10:04] Game voice**
*Wrong way!*
**[10:43] Renji**
* Guess she still hasn't*
* really opened up to me yet.*
**[10:51] Renji**
Choose anything you want.
**[10:54] Lily**

I thought you'd be more into cute stuff,
but I guess you're okay with this too.
**[11:38] Renji**
I really like this one myself.
**[11:40] Lily**
Oh no...

Don't be shy.

Okay, it's starting.

* Did she only get it so*

**[15:51] Renji**
Be my Valentine?
**[15:55] Renji**

**[15:59] Renji**
* Well, I'm glad. It doesn't seem*

**[16:45] (Flashback) Lily**
All right. Thank you,
I'll cherish it.
**[16:50] Renji**
D-Does that mean I confessed my love to her?!
**[16:54] Renji**
Are you serious?!
**[16:55] Aoi**
Keep it down, Renji!
**[16:57] Renji**
Aoi! Why... you knock...

**[17:02] Renji**
I-I'm sorry.
**[17:15] Renji**
H-Hello.
**[17:17] Renji**
Um, look. We need to talk.
**[17:27] Renji**
Huh?
**[17:29] Renji**
But... why?
**[17:31] Renji**
W-Wait up!
**[17:42] Renji**

**[17:44] Renji**
Why is she running away?

* I'm not good at English, so I'm sorry*

**[19:45] Renji**
*Thank you for the present yesterday.*
**[19:47] Renji**
*I used it as one of my favorites.*
**[19:51] Renji**
*You gave me a message along with it,*
**[19:53] Renji**
*but did that really mean "be my lover?"*
**[20:00] Renji**
*If so, I am very flattered.*
**[20:04] Renji**
*But...*
**[20:11] Renji**
*we can't become lovers.*
**[20:18] Renji**
* Because I still don't know*

*I don't even know your name.*

*That's why I prepared this notebook,*

*It'll help me learn the language too...*
**[20:40] Renji**

Could you restock the prizes for me?
**[00:05] Renji**
Ah, sure.
***SIGN*** Chivalry
**[00:14] Renji**

**[00:16] Lily**
Hello, Renji!
**[00:21] Renji**
Lily-chan. You're back again today.
**[00:24] Lily**
Of course.
**[00:27] Lily**
I brought our notebook
today too. Give it a read.
**[00:31] Renji**
Okay, okay.
**[00:33] Renji**
Thank you, Lily-chan.
**[00:36] Renji**
*Her name is Lily Baker.*
**[00:40] Renji**
* We recently decided to start*
* writing a shared diary,*
**[00:43] Renji**
* and according to that*
* "game center notebook,"*
**[00:46] Renji**
* she moved from England to*
* Japan just a few months ago.*
**[00:51] Renji**
* While she says that she has always*
* liked Japanese games and anime,*
**[00:55] Renji**
* she unfortunately found Japanese*
* conversation difficult*
**[00:58] Renji**
*and has had trouble making friends.*
**[01:00] Renji**
*That's why she started coming
to the game center alone.*
**[01:04] Renji**
*Sounds like she's had a pretty rough time.*
**[01:07] Renji**
* But I hope she can at least*
* have a little fun here.*
**[01:13] Renji**
Wh-What's the matter?
**[01:17] Lily**
Noticed anything?
**[01:20] Renji**
Um...
**[01:22] Renji**
Ah!
**[01:23] Renji**

Um, so what is the correct pronunciation

Hello!
**[04:08] Hotaru**
Right! Hello!
**[04:09] Hotaru**
But... what?
**[04:11] Aoi**
My name is Aoi Kusakabe!
**[04:14] Aoi**
Since we're in the same class,
we should be friends!
**[04:19] Aoi**
Um, I wanna become your-a friend-o!
**[04:23] Aoi**
Okay?
**[04:25] Lily**
My friend?
**[04:26] Aoi**
Oh! Yes, yes!
**[04:28] Aoi**
Oh! Lily-chan, you like Otokogi Koala too?
**[04:31] Aoi**
He's so cute, right?!
**[04:33] Aoi**
This is berry cute-o!
**[04:36] Lily**
No!
**[04:37] Lily**
He's very *cool*!
**[04:40] Lily**
It's not "cute." He's cool,
like *seriously* cool!
**[04:43] Hotaru**
Coo... Coo... Coo...?
**[04:44] Lily**
He's got all sorts of modes, you know!
**[04:47] Aoi**
Big Brother, I need your help!
**[04:49] Aoi**
I want you to make me a
game center pro in a day!
**[04:55] Renji**
What do you mean a game center pro?
**[04:57] Renji**
Wait, I thought you weren't
interested in games at all.
**[05:01] Renji**
You've always been in athletic clubs anyway.
**[05:03] Aoi**
Well that's true, but still,
**[05:05] Aoi**
I'm going to a game center tomorrow
with a girl from class, so...
**[05:10] Aoi**
I want to be able to show off.
**[05:13] Renji**
Huh. Game center with a friend?
**[05:15] Aoi**
She's a girl who just transferred
in from overseas.
**[05:20] Aoi**
She had trouble communicating at first,
so it wasn't easy getting to know her,
**[05:24] Aoi**
but we've started to understand
each other better recently
**[05:28] Aoi**
and we've finally become friends!
**[05:30] Renji**
* Sounds just like something*
* I heard about recently.*
**[05:33] Renji**
* Well, this sort of thing must*
* be pretty common, right?*
**[05:37] Renji**
Y-Yeah?
**[05:39] Aoi**
And listen, when she was having trouble
winning a prize from one of the machines,
**[05:42] Aoi**
an employee came over to help her.
**[05:45] Renji**
Uh-huh?
**[05:46] Aoi**
And I thought if I could do that too,
we might become even better friends!
**[05:50] Imaginary Aoi**
Present for you.
**[05:53] Imaginary Lily**
Oh!
**[05:53] Renji**
Heh heh.
**[05:54] Aoi**
And that employee even
declared his love to her!
**[05:59] Aoi**
Whoa! What is wrong with you?
**[06:02] Renji**
Ah, it's nothing!
**[06:03] Aoi**
Wait. No way.
**[06:05] Aoi**
What if *you* were that employee?!
**[06:09] Renji's Mom**
Hey! What are you up to?
**[06:11] Aoi**
S-Sorry, Mom!
**[06:11] Renji**
S-Sorry, Mom!
**[06:14] Aoi**
Hold on. The way you just
reacted... is it actually you?
**[06:17] Renji**
No! Wait, wait!
**[06:19] Aoi**
Yeah, there's no way, right?
**[06:22] Renji**
Huh?
**[06:22] Aoi**
If you were the kind of major perv who goes
around declaring love to middle school girls,
**[06:27] Aoi**
I'd have to talk to Dad and make sure
we cut all family ties with you.

* Wait, Lily-chan totally has the*

**[08:19] Aoi**
* Don't, Lily-chan! You can't*

There is a trick to winning
that stuffed animal.
**[08:32] Aoi; Lily**
Oh?
***SIGN*** Chivalry
**[08:33] Renji**
The head is the heaviest part,
**[08:35] Renji**
so it's probably best to grab it by the head.
***SIGN*** Chivalry
**[08:38] Renji**
Once lifted up, the heavy head will make it
topple over, so you can get it in that way.

Oh!
**[08:45] Aoi**
Is that right?
**[08:47] Renji**
Why don't you give it a try?
**[08:48] Aoi**
S-Sure...
**[08:50] Aoi**
* I can't really say no when*
* you put it like that.*
**[08:54] Aoi**
* But if I get it thanks to his advice,*
* all our efforts will have...*
**[09:01] Aoi**
No way! I actually got it in one try!
**[09:04] Lily**
That's amazing!
**[09:08] Aoi**
* He gave us good advice, even after I figured*
* he was a weirdo because of how he looks...*
**[09:13] Aoi**
*I should apologize to him.*
**[09:16] Renji**
See? You can do it! Good job.
**[09:19] Aoi**
Huh?
**[09:20] Aoi**
Wha—?! Who gave you
permission to touch me?!
**[09:23] Renji**
*Oh crap! I forgot I was in disguise!*
**[09:26] Renji**
I-I'll bring you a bag for that right away!
**[09:29] Aoi**
Hey! Wait!
**[09:30] Aoi**
What is that guy's deal anyway?
**[09:36] Aoi**
Huh? N-No! It's not like that!
**[09:40] Lily**
Really?
**[09:41] Aoi**
I'm telling the truth!
**[09:53] Lily's Mom**
Isn't this the pen you fancied?
**[09:55] Lily**
No! I want one that's more sparkly!
**[09:59] Lily**
Aoi-chan had one of those.

We did come to buy stationery
for studying, right?
**[10:09] Lily**
O-Of course.
**[10:12] Lily**
Let's see...
**[10:17] Renji**
Hey, Lily-chan.
**[10:22] Renji**
Huh?
**[10:23] Lily's Mom**
What's wrong?
**[10:25] Renji**
Um, good evening.
**[10:28] Lily's Mom**
G-Good evening.
**[10:30] Lily's Mom**
Do you know that boy? Why'd you hide?
**[10:33] Lily**
Yeah, but...
**[10:35] Lily**
I didn't dress cute today so
I don't want him to see me.
**[10:39] Lily's Mom**
Hey! Say hello!
**[10:41] Lily**
M-Mum, no! Don't make me!
**[10:43] Renji**
*The heck is this?*
**[10:45] Lily's Mom**
Ah, so you're an employee at the game center?
**[10:49] Lily's Mom**
I almost thought you were a boyfriend.
**[10:52] Renji**
Is that what you thought?
**[10:55] Lily's Mom**
I'm just joking.
**[10:57] Lily's Mom**
Thank you for always looking
after my daughter.
**[11:01] Renji**
I should be the one thanking you.
**[11:02] Renji**
We're happy that Lily comes
to play games so often.
**[11:06] Lily's Mom**
After we came to Japan,
Lily didn't feel at home
**[11:08] Lily's Mom**
until she started going to the game center.
**[11:10] Lily's Mom**
I think she really enjoys it.
**[11:12] Renji**
Is that right?
**[11:14] Renji**
*This is kinda embarrassing.*
**[11:15] Lily's Mom**
Oh, and that koala stuffed animal is
from your game center too, right?
**[11:19] Lily's Mom**
She just loves to cuddle with
it before she goes to bed.
**[11:23] Lily**
Mum! Why would you tell him that?!
**[11:26] Renji**
*Seems like a very happy family.*
**[11:28] Renji**
By the way, about that ballpoint pen
you were looking for,
**[11:32] Renji**
I think I know where to find one.
**[11:34] Lily**
Hmm?

**[12:00] Renji**
As thanks for always coming
to the game center.
**[12:04] Lily**
Can I?
**[12:05] Lily's Mom**
Well, he insisted. So it would
be rather rude to turn him down.

**[12:23] Announcement**
*Thank you very much for visiting us today.*
**[12:28] Announcement**
*Our store will be closing shortly...*
**[12:28] Lily**
This jingle...?
**[12:30] Lily**
Hey, is "Auld Lang Syne"
playing? What's going on?
**[12:34] Lily's Mom**
Ah. That means it's closing time.
**[12:38] Lily's Mom**
"See you tomorrow."
"Mata ashita," you know?
**[12:43] Lily**
Why?
**[12:44] Lily's Mom**
Hmm, I wonder why. It is a traditional
song from Scotland,
**[12:48] Lily's Mom**
but in Japan they play it when a store
is about to close, for some reason.
**[12:53] Renji**
Is it different in the UK?
**[12:55] Lily's Mom**
Yes, it is. I think we use
it more for celebrations.
**[13:00] Renji**
Oh, is that right?
**[13:14] Renji**
Well, I'm this way.
**[13:16] Lily's Mom**
Thanks a lot.
**[13:18] Renji**
Lily-chan, see you tomorrow!

I got no clue what you just
said, but probably not.

*That gangster-like employee, huh.*
**[14:22] Aoi**
*I can't tell if he's sleazy or decent.*
**[14:25] Aoi**
*I don't have a grasp on his
personality yet, to be honest.*
**[14:30] Aoi**
*So what's the best way to back her up?*
**[14:33] Aoi**
Oh...
**[14:34] Aoi**
That's right. In cases like this,
**[14:37] Aoi**
if pushing doesn't work, try pulling!

Don't push, pull yo!

**[15:42] Aoi**
Yeah! What a great performance, Lily-chan!
**[15:45] Aoi**
You're always so pushy, so for you to
suddenly act all distant like that,
**[15:49] Aoi**
he probably can't think about
anything but you right now!
**[15:54] Aoi**
* At least that's what it said in the magazine*
* I read, but will this really work?*
**[16:01] Lily**
This is hard.
**[16:03] Aoi**
Y-You okay, Lily-chan?!
**[16:06] Lily**
I'll feel better after I... calm down a bit.
**[16:11] Aoi**
* Is this what happens when she*
* tries to act just a little cold?*
**[16:15] Aoi**
* Lily-chan, you must really*
* like that guy after all.*
**[16:19] Aoi**
Okay, recon time.
**[16:21] Aoi**
You've already stuck your neck out this far.
**[16:23] Aoi**
I'm sure it'll totally pay off in the end.
**[16:26] Female Customer A**
Excuse me. I'm not able to
grab this thing at all.
**[16:30] Renji**
Ah, you mean this machine?
**[16:32] Renji**
With this type, you're supposed to use the
arm to push the item instead of grab it.
**[16:35] Female Customer B**
Really? That's so cool.
**[16:38] Female Customer A**
Then would you mind showing
us how it's done?
**[16:40] Renji**
Sorry, I'm not able to do that.
**[16:43] Female Customer A**
Aww.
**[16:43] Aoi**
*He's acting totally natural with customers!*
**[16:46] Aoi**
*And they're girls, too!*
**[16:47] Female Customer B**
But like, why're you dressed so crazy like that?
**[16:48] Aoi**
* Well, if you think about it,*
* I guess that's normal.*
**[16:51] Renji**
Huh? I don't know...
**[16:51] Aoi**
*He is working right now.*
**[16:58] Aoi**
* I never should have tried to apply standard*
* romance strategies to these two!*
**[17:03] Aoi**
*Clearly a strategic error on my part!*
**[17:06] Aoi**
You know, Lily-chan, I think this...
**[17:08] Aoi**
Lily-chan?
**[17:10] Female Customer A**
Why the costume anyway?
**[17:12] Female Customer B**
It's totally hilarious!
**[17:29] Lily**
Renji, you dummy.
**[17:32] Lily**
Dummy!
**[17:34] Female Customer A**
Huh? What?
**[17:36] Female Customer B**
You okay?
**[17:38] Aoi**
She pushed him anyway!
**[17:41] Aoi**
Literally!
**[17:51] Lily's Mother**
Today's dinner is one

**[17:55] Lily's Mother**
Hmm?
**[18:01] Lily's Mother**
Huh?
**[18:04] Lily's Mom**
If pushing doesn't work, try pulling?
**[18:06] Lily**
Mm-hmm.
**[18:08] Lily's Mom**
And that didn't go well, so you
ended up pushing him over, right?
**[18:13] Lily**
Mm-hmm.
**[18:14] Lily's Mom**
* Oh dear. That poor fellow is probably*
* completely fed up with her now.*
**[18:19] Lily**
I know what I did was wrong.
**[18:23] Lily**
But...
**[18:24] Lily**
when I saw Renji talking
to those other girls,
**[18:29] Lily**
I felt like I couldn't breathe.
**[18:32] Lily**
My body just moved on its own!
**[18:35] Lily**
Mama?
**[18:37] Lily's Mom**
Phew!
**[18:38] Lily's Mom**
I was almost slain by my own
daughter's preciousness.
**[18:43] Lily's Mom**
Well, if that's how you feel, all is good.
Just apologize and things will work out.
**[18:49] Lily's Mom**
After that,
**[18:51] Lily's Mom**
I'll pass down my knowledge of secret
techniques to win a man's heart!
**[18:55] Lily**
Huh?
**[18:57] Lily's Mom**
That is how I made Papa my own, after all.
**[19:00] Lily**
Really?
**[19:02] Renji**
I'm heading out.
**[19:04] Part-timer A**
Take care!
**[19:07] Renji**
*Lily-chan hasn't come back since then.*
**[19:11] Renji**
* I mean, she glared at me*
* and then knocked me down.*
**[19:14] Renji**
*I wonder if she really hates me now.*
**[19:19] Lily**
Renji!
**[19:25] Lily**
I want to talk to you about something.
**[19:34] Renji**
Delicious!
**[19:36] Renji**
This is seriously good!

**[20:57] Renji**

"No work, we can enjoy."
**[21:33] Renji**

**[21:36] Lily**
You would meet me outside the arcade?
**[21:39] Renji**
Huh? Y-Yeah.

You mean... like on a date?!

I know you're excited,

We decided to meet somewhere
other than my work for once,
**[03:50] Renji**
but we're still at another arcade!
**[03:54] Renji**
*Well, this one is pretty huge,*
**[03:58] Renji**
* so I bet they have a lot of new games and*
* stuff that wouldn't fit in my place.*
**[04:02] Lily**
Hi, Renji.
**[04:07] Renji**
L-Lily-chan?
**[04:09] Lily**
I'm sorry. Were you waiting for me?
**[04:13] Renji**
N-No, not at all.
**[04:15] Lily**
*I didn't sleep a wink.*
**[04:19] Lily**
I'm glad I got to see you today.
**[04:22] Renji**
Y-Yeah. I'm happy to see you too.

*Wh-Why does she already look so groggy?*
**[04:29] Renji**
Are you okay? Not feeling well?
**[04:32] Lily**
No, I'm fine.
**[04:34] Renji**
*I-I've got to find a way to cheer her up.*
**[04:37] Renji**
* Oh, I know! Last time we*
* hung out at my game center,*
**[04:41] Renji**
* she got upset because I didn't*
* compliment her outfit.*
**[04:44] Renji**
Lily-chan, your outfit today is
different from your normal look
**[04:47] Renji**
and it's very, very cute!
**[04:49] Renji**
Those, uh... spring colors? Really
match well. It's seriously springy!
**[04:54] Lily**
Heh. Thank you.
Hearing that makes me so happy.
**[05:00] Renji**
*D-Didn't work!*
**[05:02] Renji**
* She seemed happy about it, but she*
* still looks down in the dumps!*
**[05:08] Renji**
So what games do you wanna play?
**[05:11] Renji**
We could go for one of the latest active
games, or even try karaoke or bowling.
**[05:16] Renji**
Huh?
**[05:19] Renji**
Lily-chan?!
**[05:22] Renji**
Are you sure you're feeling okay?
**[05:25] Renji**
Do you want to go home?
**[05:29] Renji**
All right.
**[05:31] Renji**
Then let's at least try to stick together.
**[05:33] Lily**
*What?*
**[05:53] Renji**
*That's better.*
**[05:54] Renji**
*It looks like she's cheered up a little.*
**[06:10] Renji**
Are there any games you want to try?
**[06:12] Lily**
Um...
**[06:13] Renji**
Oh! How about that?
**[06:18] Renji**
Lily-chan?
**[06:19] Lily**
Ah! Time for games!
**[06:23] Female Employee**
Yes, we've just installed
this new VR game today!

You get to become Otokogi Koala-kun
and protect the forest from hunters!
**[06:31] Renji**
* Huh?! That koala is popular*
* enough to get its own VR game?*
**[06:37] Mother**
Want to try it?
**[06:38] Daughter**
No way.
**[06:43] Female Employee**
There's no wait at the moment
so you could play right away.
**[06:46] Renji**
*First day and there's* no *wait?
Isn't that a bad sign?*
**[06:52] Renji**
Oh...
**[06:53] Lily**
Renji! Let's play that one!
**[06:56] Renji**
A-All right.
**[06:58] Renji**
Let's try it out.

*Welcome to the world of Otokogi Koala VR.*

Wow! Renji, I'm Mister Koala now!
**[07:30] Renji**
Lily-chan, that looks great on you. So cute.
**[07:33] Renji**
But I'm just... really
embarrassed right now.
**[07:37] Lily**
Oh my gosh!
**[07:39] Lily**
What an adorable...!
**[07:42] Narrator**
* This is an emergency! A bunch of mean*
* hunters have come into our peaceful forest!*
**[07:47] Renji**
Ah!
**[07:48] Narrator**
* Protect the forest and all*
* of our friends, Koala-kun.*
**[07:52] Renji**
That "Koala-kun" must mean us.
**[07:58] Renji**
Yikes! I-It's already starting?
**[08:01] Lily**
Oh.
**[08:03] Renji**
Do we even have a chance against them?
**[08:06] Hunter**
*Fire!*
**[08:09] Renji**
Yeah, there's no way! We gotta run!
**[08:19] Lily**
* Oh no. How could I get sleepy*
* at a time like this?*
**[08:26] Renji**
Lily-chan, it's all right now.
**[08:30] Renji**
Just hang on tight.
**[08:32] Lily**
R-Renji?
**[08:45] Renji**
Let's get going, Lily.
**[09:10] Boss Hunter**
You will die.
**[09:13] Renji**
Get down!
**[09:14] Lily**
What?
**[09:29] Renji**
Lily.
**[09:31] Renji**
Don't worry. I'll protect you.
**[09:34] Renji**
Lily-chan? Lily-chan!
**[09:38] Renji**
Lily-chan, wake up!
**[09:40] Renji**
A ton of hunters just showed up! Wake up!
**[09:55] Renji**
*She ended up falling asleep,*
**[09:59] Renji**
*so we didn't get to really play any games.*
**[10:04] Renji**
* Well, she seems to be sleeping*
* peacefully, so I guess it's fine.*
**[10:08] Lily**
Renji... Mister Koala...
**[10:12] Lily**
Very strong...
**[10:18] Lily's Mom**
You never should have had that
energy drink before bed.
**[10:23] Lily's Mom**
You were so sleepy, you fell asleep
in the middle of the date, right?
**[10:27] Lily**
Oh. Maybe I should have done this instead.
**[10:29] Lily's Mom**
Hmm?
**[10:31] Lily**
Drink two more in the
morning to make up for it.
***SIGN*** Crisply Refreshing!!

**[10:37] Renji**
I'm out of the bath.
**[10:39] Aoi**
So, Renji, you got all dressed
up when you went out today?
**[10:43] Renji**
Huh? Yeah.
**[10:45] Aoi**
Don't tell me you went on a *date*.
**[10:46] Renji**
Huh?
**[10:47] Aoi**
What? Really? You did?
**[10:50] Renji**
So? What's wrong with that?
**[10:52] Aoi**
Well, it's just very unexpected.
**[10:54] Aoi**
So? So? How did your date go?
**[10:58] Renji**
Well, you know...
**[11:00] Aoi**
Oh yeah? No good, huh.
**[11:03] Aoi**
But cheer up! I'm sure things
will work out eventually.
**[11:06] Renji**
You don't get to decide
that it was a failure!
**[11:08] Aoi**
Well anyway, there aren't many girls out
there who would fall for someone like you,
**[11:14] Aoi**
so be sure to treat her right, okay?
**[11:15] Renji**
It's none of your business.
**[11:17] Renji**
So just drop it, yeah?
**[11:19] Aoi**
Sorry, sorry.
**[11:21] Renji**
Jeez.
**[11:22] Renji**
* Still, there's no way I could tell*
* her that Lily-chan was my date.*

**[12:05] Aoi**
Would you guys—

Listen, you two.
**[12:07] Hotaru**
Can't you see you're bothering Lily-san?
**[12:10] Hotaru**
Lily-san can't speak Japanese.
**[12:12] Hotaru**
You shouldn't gang up on her like this.
**[12:14] Aoi**
Exactly! Do your own
studying by yourself!
**[12:17] Girl A**
Wah! The class prez and her
boyfriend showed up! Quick, run!
**[12:21] Aoi**
Who are you calling a boyfriend?!
**[12:23] Hotaru**
Hey! Stop right there!
**[12:25] Aoi**
Are you okay, Lily-chan?
**[12:27] Lily**
Mm-hmm. Thank you.

S-Sorry!
**[12:49] Aoi**
* Could Lily-chan perhaps*

So that's what happened.
Isn't that girl amazing?

Y-Yeah. Pretty amazing.

* I wonder if our notebook*

**[13:08] Renji**
*I'd be glad if it was.*

Oh, and you know what? That girl
is coming over for a study party.
**[13:15] Renji**
Huh?!
**[13:16] Aoi**
Whoa, Renji! What are you doing?!
**[13:18] Renji**
S-Sorry.
**[13:20] Aoi**
Try to be more careful!
**[13:23] Renji**
A study party?
**[13:25] Aoi**
Midterm exams are coming up soon, so
we're going to study for them tomorrow.
**[13:29] Renji**
Makes sense.
**[13:31] Renji**
* Tomorrow, huh. I've got class tomorrow*
* anyway, so I won't see her.*
**[13:37] Renji**
* Wait, does Lily-chan even know*
* that Aoi and I are siblings?*
**[13:43] Aoi**
Welcome, welcome! Come on in!
**[13:46] Aoi**
Oh, I'll go get something to drink.
Sit wherever you want.
**[13:59] Lily**
Huh?

Huh?!
**[14:08] Aoi**
Thanks for waiting.

Wha—!
**[14:10] Aoi**
What's wrong?
**[14:11] Lily**
Ah... nothing.
**[14:14] Aoi**
Then go ahead and sit down.
**[14:21] Aoi**
Yeah, a study party sure gets
the brain juices flowing.
**[14:25] Lily**
Mm-hmm.
**[14:33] Aoi**
Lily-chan, something wrong?
**[14:35] Aoi**
Need the bathroom?
**[14:40] Lily**
Where is your brother?
**[14:43] Aoi**
Huh? My brother? He has class
today so he's at college.
**[14:51] Aoi**
*What? She seems kind of sad.*
**[14:54] Aoi**
* Wait, did I ever*
* tell Lily I have a brother?*
**[14:58] Aoi**
Um, but do you still need the bathroom?

**[16:18] Renji**
Uh, I didn't do anything.
**[16:21] Aoi**
What about college?
**[16:22] Renji**
Class was canceled.
**[16:33] Aoi**
* Lily-chan started acting weird*
* as soon as she saw my brother.*
**[16:38] Aoi**
* Renji said he didn't do anything, so the*
* only other thing I can think of is that*
**[16:44] Aoi**
* she stopped going to the*

**[16:46] Aoi**
*so it triggered withdrawal symptoms?*

**[17:19] Renji**
Oh.
**[17:22] Renji**
*Wait just a second.*
**[17:24] Renji**
*Lily-chan hasn't told Aoi about me, has she?*
**[17:28] Renji**
*If she has talked to Aoi, then...*
**[17:32] Aoi**
Renji, I don't believe
this! You're disgusting!

Lily-chan is still in middle school!

Oh whatever. Can I borrow your handheld?
**[17:58] Renji**
Oh, my game console?
**[18:00] Renji**
But games? Shouldn't you
be studying for exams?
**[18:03] Aoi**
They say taking occasional breaks
increases overall performance.
**[18:07] Renji**
What a convenient excuse.

Oh no, is my brother a cold-hearted bastard

In this one, it's aliens.

The koala forest gets
attacked way too much!
**[18:36] Aoi**
Right? Doesn't it look fun?
**[18:38] Renji**
Well...
**[18:40] Renji**
*I'm sure Lily-chan would be totally into it.*
**[18:52] Renji**
Fine, but don't play so much
that you forget to study.
**[18:56] Aoi**
Yes!

Renji, thank you!
**[19:12] Renji**
* It's fine as long as Lily-chan*
* doesn't talk about me...*
**[19:17] Renji**
*but I'm still worried.*
**[19:20] Renji**
It's been a while.
Maybe I'll go check on things.
**[19:25] Renji**
Hey, Aoi! I'm coming in!
**[19:28] Aoi**
Ah, the forest burned down again!
**[19:31] Aoi**
I'm so done. I can't believe we
still can't clear the first level.
**[19:37] Renji**
*Not even one level?*
**[19:39] Renji**
Hey, this is supposed to be your break.
**[19:42] Renji**
Don't go overboard.
**[19:44] Aoi**
Sure, Renji.
**[19:46] Aoi**
Oh, that's right!

Lily-chan, let's get my brother to play!

He might not look it, but he's
actually really good at games!

Huh?!
**[19:54] Aoi**
You're free, right?
**[19:56] Renji**
Well yeah, but...

*If I'm around, Lily-chan will get...*

*Sh-She's that desperate?*

Okay, fine.

out of tokens already?
**[08:44] Lily**
Mm-hmm.
**[08:45] Renji**
Oh.
**[08:47] Renji**
Looks like you've won a
bunch of tokens there.
**[08:50] Aoi**
W-Well, yeah. It's not a big
deal if you know the trick.
**[08:55] Aoi**
* Well, it's actually because*

Oh! That doesn't mean you're

Let's go get some more. Okay?
**[09:08] Lily**
Mm-hmm.
**[09:09] Momoko**
Um, can I get some help, please?
**[09:16] Aoi**
I know you always play crane games,
but token games can be fun too.
**[09:20] Lily**
Mm-hmm.
**[09:21] Aoi**
You can play a bunch with
just a hundred yen.
**[09:23] Lily**
Uh-huh. And that lets you stay in the game
center a little longer, which is nice.
**[09:30] Lily**
It also means I can spend
more time with you, Aoi.

**[11:28] Aoi**
She just wants to ask if you'd
play some token games with her.
**[11:32] Lily**
Huh?
**[11:32] Momoko**
Really? I was getting lonely
playing alone, so thank you!
**[11:41] Lily**
I see. You mean we should
settle this with games.

Nice move as always, Aoi-chan.

I thought it would be easy to win.
**[12:43] Aoi**
This janken game is ridiculously hard.
It won't let you win.
**[12:46] Aoi**
You've got to try something different!
**[12:48] Lily**
But...
**[12:49] Aoi**
If you want to win, you should
try a coin pusher or something.
**[12:55] Aoi**
With these, there's a trick
to picking the right machine.
**[12:58] Aoi**
Well, just watch and learn.
**[13:00] Momoko**
P-Please educate us!
**[13:07] Aoi**
*I won even more than I expected!*

**[13:31] Aoi**
No, Lily-chan, it's not what you think!
**[13:34] Lily**
Hmph.
**[13:34] Aoi**
Hey! Where are you going, Lily-chan?!
**[13:37] Lily**
To play the janken game.

I told you those won't let you win!

I-Is everything okay?
**[14:17] Lily**
It's fine.
**[14:34] Aoi**
What a surprise that the game center guy has
such a beautiful classmate, right?
**[14:46] Aoi**
But it's okay! I'm sure that you'll
defeat any rival who shows up!

Well, what should I start with?
Just tell me what to do!
**[00:13] Lily's Mom**
L-Let's see... Maybe you
could start with the dishes.
**[00:18] Lily**
I'm on it!
**[00:21] Lily's Mom**
The resonating sound of something breaking!
**[00:23] Lily's Mom**
The table getting more
soaked with every wipe!
**[00:27] Lily's Mom**
The laundry tangled up like a pyramid!
**[00:31] Lily**
I'm sorry, Mama.
**[00:35] Lily's Mom**
Y-You're only making mistakes because you're
doing so much more than usual, right?
**[00:39] Lily's Mom**
I understand. It's okay.
**[00:41] Lily**
Mm-hmm.
**[00:42] Lily's Mom**
* What is with her all of a sudden,*
* getting all worked up like this?*
**[00:47] Lily's Mom**
* Maybe she wants to leverage this*
* for a raise in her allowance.*
**[00:50] Lily's Mom**
* She blew all her money at*
* the game centre, after all.*
**[00:54] Lily**
And, well... there's something...
**[00:57] Lily's Mom**
Hmm? What is it?
**[00:59] Lily**
Uh...
**[01:01] Lily**
J-Just a minute.
**[01:07] Lily**
Mama, thank you for always cooking
and doing laundry and everything!
**[01:12] Lily's Mom**
Huh?
**[01:14] Lily**
Um, my friend told me that in Japan,
Mother's Day is in May, and so...
**[01:22] Lily's Mom**
Is that why you've been
helping out recently?
**[01:26] Lily's Mom**
Oh, daffodils.
**[01:28] Narrator**
* In England, on Mothering Sunday, daffodils*
* are commonly given instead of carnations.*
**[01:35] Narrator**
* In the language of flowers,*
* daffodils mean "respect."*
**[01:40] Lily's Mom**
Thank you, Lily.
**[01:42] Lily's Mom**
They smell like our homeland.
**[01:45] Lily's Mom**
But you aren't getting a raise
in allowance that easily!
**[01:49] Lily**
I-I know that!
**[01:51] Lily's Mom**
All you did was help out with chores.
**[01:54] Lily's Dad**
Lily,
**[01:55] Lily's Dad**
I hope you don't forget about Father's Day.
**[03:34] Renji**
Really? So your mom appreciated it.
**[03:38] Renji**
I'm glad it worked out.
**[03:39] Lily**
Mm-hmm.

**[03:59] Renji**
Hmm? Lily-chan, didn't you
bring an umbrella today?
**[04:03] Lily**
Uh...
**[04:04] Renji**
Oh, I know. Just moment.
**[04:08] Lily**
Huh?
**[04:11] Renji**
Here. You can use this if you want.
**[04:16] Lily**
Then what will you do, Renji?
**[04:18] Renji**
Hmm?
**[04:19] Renji**
I can grab one of the spare

We can leave together and you can

**[04:37] Renji**
Huh? But I still have to work.
**[04:40] Lily**
I'll wait for you.
**[04:41] Renji**
Eh?
**[04:42] Lily**
I'm sure I can find a way to kill time here.
**[04:45] Lily**
I'll be playing games!
**[04:47] Renji**
Hold on! Wait a minute!
**[04:50] Renji**
* Does this really mean I have*
* to walk Lily-chan home?*
**[04:55] Renji**
S-Seriously?
**[05:02] Glasses Guy**
I spent five thousand yen trying
to get that figurine.
**[05:05] Brown-Haired Guy**
Seriously?
**[05:05] Glasses Guy**
But I don't regret it at all.
**[05:08] Brown-Haired Guy**
Huh?
**[05:08] Glasses Guy**
Huh?
**[05:26] Renji**
*Conversation, conversation...*
**[05:29] Renji**
So Lily-chan, where do you live, anyway?
**[05:32] Renji**
I bet it isn't very far.
**[05:37] Renji**
You gotta get closer or you'll get all wet.
**[05:39] Renji**
Come on.
**[05:40] Renji**
Ah!
**[05:42] Renji**
Lily-chan!
**[05:50] Renji**
Are you okay, Lily-chan?!
**[05:54] Renji**
Are you hurt?
**[06:00] Renji**
You sure?
**[06:02] Renji**
Okay. Thank goodness.
**[06:05] Lily's Dad**
Hey, you kids!
**[06:07] Lily's Dad**
Are you injured?
**[06:09] Renji**
*The guy from the car is terrifying!*
**[06:12] Renji**
Uh, uh, I think we we're okay.
**[06:15] Lily's Dad**
Really? Man, nearly gave me a—
**[06:17] Lily**
Dad!
**[06:18] Renji**
Da... ddo?
**[06:21] Lily's Dad**
Lily!
**[06:22] Renji**
*That's Lily-chan's* father*?!*
**[06:24] Lily's Dad**
Oh, it's you, Lily!
**[06:26] Lily's Dad**
Don't dash out onto the street like that!
**[06:28] Lily**
Dad, I'm sorry!
**[06:32] Renji**
Uh, her father? Really?
**[06:36] Lily**
Let me introduce you.
This is my papa, Renji.
**[06:40] Lily's Dad**
Huh?
**[06:47] Renji**
Anyway, it seems Lily-chan is okay, so...
**[06:52] Renji**
I'll be on my way.
**[06:53] Lily's Dad**
Now wait just a moment.
**[06:55] Lily's Dad**
I can't be rude to the person
who saved my daughter's life.
**[06:59] Lily's Dad**
Why don't you allow me to
welcome you into my home?
**[07:03] Lily's Dad**
It's not far. Right around the corner.
**[07:06] Lily's Dad**
Good with you, Renji-kun?
**[07:09] Renji**
*Scary!*
**[07:11] Lily**
Yeah, Renji! You should come over!
**[07:13] Renji**
Uh... huh. Hah.
**[07:21] Lily**
I'm back, Mum. Mum?
**[07:25] Lily's Mom**
I heard you! Glad you're home.
Oh, wha—? Why?
**[07:29] Lily's Dad**
Hmm? We just ran into him.
**[07:31] Lily**
Yeah, we just ran into him.
**[07:33] Renji**
Uh, thanks for having me.
**[07:35] Lily's Mom**
Oh! Welcome, Renji-kun!
**[07:38] Lily's Dad**
What? You know this guy?
**[07:40] Lily's Mom**
Yes.
**[07:40] Lily's Mom**
We just ran into him before.
**[07:46] Lily's Mom**
I'm glad I made curry today.
**[07:49] Lily's Mom**
There's plenty, even with
an extra mouth to feed.
**[07:52] Renji**
Oh, I only meant to walk her
home since it was raining.
**[07:55] Renji**
I don't want to impose.
**[07:57] Lily's Mom**
Aww, there's no need to be shy.
**[07:59] Lily**
That's right!
**[08:01] Lily's Mom**
See? Lily is even on her best behavior
trying to impress you, Renji-kun.
**[08:05] Lily's Mom**
Right, Lily?
**[08:07] Lily's Mom**
I'm glad you're getting something out
of the chores you did the other day.
**[08:11] Lily**
Ugh! Mom, please!
**[08:14] Renji**
Then is there anything I can do to help?
**[08:16] Lily's Dad**
Oh. I have just the thing.
**[08:19] Lily's Dad**
Why don't you come over here
and help me peel these apples?
**[08:23] Lily's Dad**
Then we can have a little man-to-man
talk about current affairs,
**[08:27] Lily's Dad**
Renji-kun.
**[08:28] Renji**
A-All right.
**[08:30] Renji**
*Lily-chan* totally *takes after her mom.*
**[08:33] Renji**
*And what the heck is that knife?*
**[08:35] Renji**
* There's no way that's a*
* knife for peeling fruit!*
**[08:39] Lily's Mom**
I suppose this'll do.
**[08:41] Lily's Mom**
Right then, can you prepare the plates?
**[08:43] Lily**
Okay!
**[08:44] Lily**
Are these fine?
**[08:46] Lily's Mom**
Hey! Don't go waving them around like that!
**[08:49] Lily**
I'm not gonna drop it. It's fine.
**[08:51] Lily's Mom**
Just be careful, Lily.
**[08:53] Lily**
Okay.
**[08:54] Lily's Dad**
I hear you work at the game centre
Lily visits all the time.
**[08:59] Renji**
Uh, yes.
**[09:00] Lily's Dad**
So, how does she seem
to you when she's there?
**[09:05] Renji**
Huh?
**[09:06] Renji**
Oh. She always seems to be having fun.
**[09:10] Renji**
She often plays games with
friends from school.
**[09:15] Lily's Dad**
I see.
**[09:17] Lily's Dad**
These days, she won't let me
drive her to or from school.
**[09:22] Lily's Dad**
I see.
**[09:25] Lily's Dad**
Renji-kun, I don't mean to put
you on the spot all of a sudden,
**[09:30] Lily's Dad**
but when she first came to Japan, it took
a while before she started making friends.
**[09:38] Lily**
Like this?
**[09:39] Lily's Mom**
Yep, you're doing brilliantly!
**[09:41] Lily**
Is that so?
**[09:43] Lily's Dad**
But once she started going
to the game centre,
**[09:46] Lily's Dad**
she seemed happier and became
a lot more talkative.
**[09:50] Lily**
Then I suppose I'll put a bit more!
**[09:51] Lily's Mom**
Uh... no, that's more than plenty.
**[09:55] Lily's Mom**
Hey, that's enough.
**[09:56] Lily's Dad**
I am grateful to you for
helping make that happen.
**[10:00] Renji**
Not at all! It's not a big deal.
**[10:04] Lily's Dad**
It had been bothering me ever
since we moved here for my job.
**[10:08] Renji**
*And what exactly do you do for work?*
**[10:11] Renji**
* Well, despite the way he looks, he seems like*
* a decent father who cares about his daughter.*
**[10:18] Lily's Dad**
That said...
**[10:19] Renji**
Hmm?
**[10:20] Lily's Dad**
If you're going out with her,
it's a totally different issue!
**[10:25] Renji**
Huh?!
**[10:26] Renji**
N-No! It isn't like that!
**[10:28] Renji**
My relationship with Lily-chan is that
of a mere employee and customer!
**[10:32] Lily's Dad**
Oh?
**[10:33] Lily's Dad**
So a "mere" employee's job is
to walk his customers home
**[10:35] Lily's Dad**
under an umbrella when it's raining?
**[10:39] Lily's Dad**
Is that what you're saying?!
**[10:41] Renji**
That's because my coworker...
**[10:43] Renji**
I mean, the umbrellas, no...
There was only one raindrop!
**[10:46] Lily's Dad**
On top of that, you call each
other by your first names?
**[10:50] Lily's Dad**
And you say you're a "mere"
employee and customer?
**[10:52] Renji**
Uh, no, it's more...
**[10:55] Lily's Dad**
Then what kind of relationship is it?
Hurry up and spit it out!
**[10:58] Renji**
No... um... well...
**[11:02] Lily**
Honestly, Dad! Let him be!
**[11:05] Renji**
*Huh?!*
**[11:06] Lily's Dad**
What're you doing, Lily?
**[11:08] Lily**
You don't have to worry! It's not the
kind of relationship you're thinking of!
**[11:14] Lily's Dad**
Oh. All right then.
**[11:17] Lily's Dad**
Hmm?
**[11:18] Lily's Dad**
Huh.
**[11:20] Lily's Dad**
Huh?
**[11:21] Lily**
At least not yet.
**[11:26] Renji**
Um...
**[11:29] Lily's Dad**
I knew it! You!
**[11:30] Renji**
Huh?!
**[11:31] Lily's Dad**
Just what are you after?
**[11:32] Renji**
What? Wh-Why?!
**[11:34] Lily**
Ugh! Stop it, Dad!
**[11:37] Lily's Dad**
Lily...
**[11:39] Renji**
Wait! Lily-chan?!
**[11:41] Lily's Mom**
Okay, everyone. Dinner is ready for you!
**[12:03] Girl**
Dad! That one, that one!
**[12:07] Father**
All right. There! Gotcha!
**[12:10] Father**
Whew.
**[12:11] Mother**
There you go! Good luck, Honey!
**[12:15] Father**
Pretty impressive, right?
**[12:17] Girl**
Wow!
**[12:22] Lily**
Renji!
**[12:24] Lily**
Here! Lookee, lookee!
**[12:27] Renji**
Oh!
**[12:28] Renji**
You're all dressed up for summer!
That looks really cute on you!
**[12:32] Lily**
Hurray!
**[12:33] Renji**
*When I first met Lily, it was winter.*
**[12:36] Renji**
* If I stop and think about it,*
* time sure has flown.*
**[12:39] Brown-Haired Guy**
Oh, Lily-chan.
**[12:41] Glasses Guy**
What games are you gonna play today?
**[12:43] Glasses Guy**
I'd like to challenge you again if—
**[12:45] Brown-Haired Guy**
Whoa!
**[12:45] Glasses Guy**
Whoa!
**[12:47] Renji**
Ack!
**[12:49] Lily's Dad**
Hello, Mister Employee.
**[12:51] Renji**
Oh... hello.
**[12:54] Glasses Guy**
Who's *that?*
**[12:55] Lily's Dad**
Well? Aren't you gonna give
me some feedback too?
**[12:59] Renji**
Huh? O-Oh, sure.
That's a great look for you.
**[13:03] Lily's Dad**
You little punk!
**[13:05] Lily's Dad**
Are you always ogling her like that?!
**[13:08] Renji**
Huh?!
**[13:08] Lily**
Ugh! Just stop it already!
**[13:11] Renji**
S-So what brings you here today?
**[13:14] Lily's Dad**
What brings me here?
**[13:17] Lily's Dad**
I take my daughter where
I want on my days off.
**[13:21] Lily's Dad**
That any of your frickin' business?
**[13:24] Renji**
Of course not! Pardon me!
**[13:26] Brown-Haired Guy**
That's Lily-chan's...
**[13:27] Glasses Guy**
Father?
**[13:29] Renji**
*That's what I thought too.*
**[13:31] Lily's Dad**
However,
**[13:32] Lily's Dad**
there is a reason we chose to come here.
**[13:35] Renji**
Huh?
**[13:36] Lily's Dad**
I hear there's a
**[13:38] Lily's Dad**
scumbag college kid who comes to this game
centre to get his hands on underage girls.
**[13:42] Renji**
What was that?!
**[13:44] Renji**
He comes here?
**[13:47] Renji**
If something like that happened...
**[13:52] Lily's Dad**
You understand what would happen
to him if he tried anything?
**[13:55] Renji**
Yes, I think I do.
**[14:00] Lily**
Oh stop, Dad.
**[14:03] Lily**
Let's hurry up and start some games!
**[14:05] Lily's Dad**
That's right, Lily! Sorry!
I've kept you waiting.
**[14:11] Lily's Dad**
Wonder which one you want to play, huh?
**[14:14] Lily**
Hmm, which one...
**[14:17] Lily**
It's the new Mister Manly Koala plush!
Let's do this one!
**[14:21] Lily's Dad**
This must be one of those
so-called "crane game" things
**[14:25] Renji**
Y-Yes.
**[14:29] Lily**
I'll win on the first try! Watch, Dad!
**[14:32] Lily's Dad**
Oh! That's my girl!
**[14:35] Lily**
On the first try. On the... first...
**[14:38] Lily**
On the first try...
**[14:43] Renji**
Yeah, it happens.
**[14:44] Lily's Dad**
You bastard.
**[14:47] Lily's Dad**
You squeeze them for every last coin and
then get your thrills watching them cry?
**[14:52] Lily's Dad**
Is that what this business is all about?
**[14:54] Renji**
Y-You misunderstand.
**[14:57] Girl**
I got it!
**[15:00] Girl**
See?
**[15:01] Mother**
Wow! That's great, Honey!
***SIGN*** Chivalry

In that case, maybe it's
time I try my hand at it.
**[15:16] Renji**
Should I teach you how the controls work?
**[15:18] Lily's Dad**
Nonsense.
**[15:19] Lily's Dad**
I've never hunted a koala before, but I have
taken a bear with my own two hands.
**[15:25] Renji**
*What the heck is he going on about?*
**[15:31] Lily's Dad**
What?
**[15:36] Lily's Dad**
What the hell is *this*?!
**[15:40] Lily's Dad**
I've never seen anything
in my life this flimsy!
**[15:43] Renji**
Um...
**[15:44] Renji**
For this machine, you don't try to grab it.
**[15:46] Renji**
You try to push it a little bit at a time.
**[15:51] Lily's Dad**
Why you impudent little...!

**[16:20] Lily's Dad**

**[16:23] Renji**
Um, maybe you should give up.
**[16:26] Lily**
He's right! You've done enough already, Dad!
**[16:32] Lily's Dad**
I'm sorry, Lily.
**[16:34] Lily's Dad**
I'm so uncool.
**[16:38] Lily's Dad**
Honestly, I don't really wanna give up either...
**[16:42] Lily's Dad**
I don't want to, but...
**[16:45] Lily's Dad**
I'm all out.
**[16:54] Lily**
Thanks, Dad.
**[16:58] Renji**
Oh, what?
**[16:59] Renji**
Look at what I found!
**[17:01] Renji**
It looks like you dropped one.
**[17:05] Lily's Dad**
Punk. What do you think you're...
**[17:06] Lily**
Hurray!

Here you go.

Here you go, Lily.
**[19:02] Lily**
Wow!
**[19:04] Lily's Dad**
I eventually got it,
**[19:05] Lily's Dad**
but I don't even want to think about
the amount of money I invested.
**[19:09] Lily's Dad**
Are you always pulling these kinds
of tricks on my daughter, you punk?
**[19:12] Renji**
N-No, not at all.
**[19:14] Lily**
Dad.
**[19:16] Lily**
Thanks for getting it for me, Dad!
**[19:21] Lily's Dad**
Ah! Of course! I'm happy
that you're happy, Lily!
**[19:27] Lily's Dad**
Considering we got Lily to smile,
I'll let you off easy this time.
**[19:30] Lily's Dad**
But that won't happen again.
You watch your back, kid.
**[19:34] Renji**
Of course.
**[19:35] Lily**
See you, Renji!

Please come again.

Oh, are you alone today?
**[20:19] Lily's Dad**
What, I'm not welcome here alone?
**[20:22] Renji**
No, I didn't mean it like that!
**[20:25] Lily's Dad**
Here. I'm returning this.
**[20:27] Renji**
Huh?
**[20:29] Renji**
Oh, no! It's totally all right.
**[20:32] Lily's Dad**
I have no intention of being in your debt.
**[20:36] Renji**
Um, you came all the way here for this?
**[20:39] Lily's Dad**
No, I came for something else.
**[20:46] Lily's Dad**
Today is the day I finish him off.
**[20:51] Renji**
Um, but you just won one of those
new Otokogi Koalas yesterday.
**[20:56] Lily's Dad**
There's no way I'd be content
with such a sloppy win!
**[20:58] Lily's Dad**
Today, I'll end him properly,
with my very own two hands!
**[21:08] Renji**
Um, would you mind if I
gave you some advice?
**[21:11] Lily's Dad**
Mind your own damn business.
**[21:13] Lily's Dad**
I just use the crane to push it over, right?
**[21:15] Lily's Dad**
Easy! Now that I know the trick,
I'll nab it in...
**[21:19] Lily's Dad**
One shot.
**[21:20] Lily's Dad**
One sho—
**[21:21] Lily's Dad**
One...

**[00:19] Brown-Haired Guy**
Sh-She's too good!
**[00:21] Brown-Haired Guy**
I can't believe you lost
three in a row, Senpai!
**[00:25] Renji**
* I thought he was the best player*
* out of all the regulars.*
**[00:28] Renji**
* But if he's lost three times,*
* who could be...*
**[00:34] Renji**
* A girl?! And only about the*

**[00:39] Glasses Guy**
Sorry, but would you mind
playing just one more round?
**[00:42] Karin**
Sorry, man.
**[00:44] Karin**
I've already got another opponent lined up.
**[00:53] Karin**
You think you're up to takin' me on?
**[00:56] Renji**
M-Me?
**[02:30] Renji**
M-Me?
**[02:33] Brown-Haired Guy**
Th-The employee?
**[02:35] Renji**
B-But why?
**[02:38] Karin**
Why, you say? Wow, man.
**[02:41] Karin**
So you're just gonna toy with
a little girl's heart, huh?
**[02:46] Brown-Haired Guy**
Yeah.
**[02:47] Glasses Guy**
Like he always has.
**[02:49] Renji**
No, no! I have no clue what you mean!
**[02:51] Karin**
Well, I'm never gonna forget it. I wanted to
show off the combo I practiced on console
***SIGN*** Retro Game Center
***SIGN*** Retro Game Center
***SIGN*** Lobster
**[02:56] Karin**
so I started visiting game
centers in elementary school.
**[02:59] Renji**
That's pretty damn unusual for
a grade schooler these days!
**[03:02] Karin**
When I made my game center debut, I
was undefeated and in perfect form!
**[03:07] Karin**
Yeah...
**[03:09] Karin**
Until you barged in and screwed it all up!
**[03:12] Game**
*Perfect K.O.*
**[03:17] Game**
*You lose.*
**[03:25] Karin**
The humiliation I felt, slapped
down and shut out like that...
**[03:29] Karin**
It's something I ain't never gonna forget.
**[03:35] Renji**
*Yeah...*
**[03:36] Renji**
*I don't remember that at all!*
**[03:37] Karin**
I was so traumatized, I became a shut-in
and only played online matches at home.
**[03:42] Glasses Guy**
That's terrible!
**[03:43] Brown-Haired Guy**
I would've given up fighting games for life!
**[03:45] Random**
Unbelievable.
**[03:47] Random**
What a scumbag.
**[03:48] Random**
What a *Kusaregedo*.
**[03:49] Renji**
*I'm* that *bad?*
**[03:50] Karin**
But my humiliation finally ends today.
**[03:54] Karin**
I trained hard on console versions
of all sorts of games at home.
**[03:57] Karin**
All right, mister! Let's you and
me have it out once and for all!
**[04:01] Renji**
I can't just drop everything and play.
**[04:04] Renji**
I'm on the clock.
**[04:06] Karin**
Then quit your job this
instant and fight me.
**[04:08] Renji**
This kid is talking crazy!
**[04:10] Karin**
Quit makin' excuses and get ready to—
**[04:12] Lily**
Wait!
**[04:14] Renji**
Lily-chan?
**[04:17] Lily**
I'll be your opponent instead!
**[04:19] Karin**
Huh? Who the hell're you?
**[04:21] Glasses Guy**
Ooh, Lily-chan!
**[04:23] Brown-Haired Guy**
It's Lily-chan!
**[04:25] Random**
It's Lily-chan!
**[04:27] Karin**
* What? These guys who look like regulars*
* are suddenly rooting for her.*
**[04:31] Karin**
* Could that mean this kid is...*
* this game center's Number Two?!*
**[04:35] Lily**
I'll protect Renji!
**[04:37] Karin**
Huh. I guess I don't get a
shot at the head honcho just yet.
**[04:42] Karin**
Fine. I'll take you on. Just
pick whatever game you want.
**[04:48] Lily**
In that case, we'll play that!
**[04:51] Karin**
Wha—?

**[05:40] Karin**
*She's ugly crying!*
**[05:48] Karin**
Yeah, looks like I got no choice.
**[05:50] Karin**
I'll teach you the basics of fighting games.
**[05:54] Lily**
Huh?
**[05:55] Karin**
I'm sayin' I'll train you.
**[05:57] Karin**
Losin' makes you mad enough to cry, right?
**[06:00] Lily**
Mm-hmm.
**[06:01] Karin**
M'kay. So you'll start practicin'
against the computer.
**[06:04] Karin**
You're too green for human opponents.
**[06:06] Lily**
All right.
**[06:08] Renji**
*Seems like she's found a new objective.*
**[06:10] Karin**
First, you gotta learn the throws and blocks.
**[06:12] Lily**
All right!
**[06:13] Glasses Guy**
Lily-chan doesn't have many girls her age to
play with, so this is probably for the best.
**[06:19] Renji**
Huh.
**[06:20] Karin**
Yo, quit mashing the stick like that!
**[06:22] Lily**
Ah! All right!

Yes, I think you're right.

**[06:35] Lily**
I won...
**[06:37] Lily**
Ah! Thank you, Master!
**[06:41] Karin**
M-Master?
**[06:44] Karin**
I've got a name. It's Kaga Karin.
**[06:47] Lily**
Yay! I'm so happy!
**[06:50] Karin**
She ain't even listening!
**[06:52] Glasses Guy**
That was great, Lily-chan!

You must be happy!

And I'll deal with you next time, mister.
**[07:15] Karin**
See you.
**[07:17] Lily**
Bye-bye, Master!
**[07:20] Karin**
*I've only ever played to win,*
**[07:26] Karin**
*but maybe this isn't so bad either.*
**[07:28] Karin**
*I doubt I'll ever see her again anyway.*
**[07:35] Aoi**
Huh. So that's what you were up to.
**[07:38] Lily**
Mm-hmm.
**[07:38] Aoi**
* So is that employee guy*
* really that good at games?*
**[07:43] Aoi**
* If he played against my brother,*
* I wonder which one would win.*
**[07:46] Lily**
I want to see Master again.
**[07:49] Aoi**
Hopefully she'll be at
the game center today.
**[07:52] Karin**
Ah...
**[07:54] Lily**
Huh?
**[07:55] Lily**
Master!
**[07:56] Aoi**
Huh?
**[07:57] Karin**
We go to the same school?!
**[08:02] Lily**

**[08:05] Lily**

**[08:08] Lily**

**[08:10] Karin**
Cut it out! Drop the "Master, Master" crap!
**[08:17] Lily**
Master...
**[08:20] Hotaru**
* It appears Lily-san isn't getting*
* along very well with that person.*
**[08:25] Hotaru**
* At a time like this, it is the class*

**[08:30] Hotaru**
* I am able to speak a little English now, so*
* perhaps I can give Lily-san's some help.*
**[08:36] Hotaru**
*Okay!*
**[08:37] Hotaru**
Lily-san! M-May ai helupu
**[08:41] Hotaru**
yuu?
**[08:50] Karin**
Hey, why're you guys followin' me around?
**[08:53] Aoi**
We're not! We're just
going to the same place.
**[08:57] Aoi**
Also, Lily-chan says she
wants to play with you.
**[09:04] Karin**
Sorry, but no can do.
**[09:05] Karin**
I'm here to settle things with that one guy.
**[09:09] Aoi**
I heard he turned you down yesterday
because he was working.
**[09:12] Karin**
Right, so I'll force him to
quit so he has to fight me.
**[09:15] Aoi**
Do you know how crazy that sounds?
**[09:18] Aoi**
I don't think he's here right now anyway.
**[09:20] Karin**
Fine, then I'll kill time
and wait for him to show.
**[09:23] Aoi**
Then why not play with us while you wait?
**[09:26] Karin**
Not happenin'.
**[09:28] Karin**
The hell you think you're doin'?!
**[09:32] Lily**
Ple—
**[09:34] Lily**
Please play with us.
**[09:42] Karin**
Okay, but listen, this is only
until that guy shows up.
**[09:46] Aoi**
Fine, fine. We hear you.
**[09:49] Lily**
Let's play that!
**[09:51] Aoi**
Oh, the one that has candy!
**[09:53] Karin**
Why can't you just buy it like normal?
**[09:55] Aoi**
How dare you say that!
**[09:57] Aoi**
The dream of winning a bunch is exactly
what makes the game thrilling!
**[10:01] Karin**
But if you get a flavor you don't even
want, it's more like you've lost.
**[10:05] Aoi**
In that case, you can just trade
candies with your friends.
**[10:08] Karin**
You're sure a positive chick, huh.

You really are good at games, aren't you?
**[10:40] Karin**
I just aimed for a pile
that looked unstable.
**[10:44] Karin**
If you want some, just help yourself.
**[10:47] Lily**
Really?
**[10:48] Aoi**
Huh? We can't do that. You
spent money on those.
**[10:52] Karin**
Well, I ain't eating them all by myself.
**[10:54] Aoi**
Still...
**[10:55] Karin**
When you guys win different candies,
just gimme some of yours.
**[11:03] Aoi**
Well, if it's okay with you...
**[11:07] Lily**
Yay! Can I take these too?
**[11:09] Karin**
Yeah.
**[11:10] Aoi**
Thanks a lot!
**[11:10] Renji**
* That's nice. They seem to be*
* enjoying themselves again.*
**[11:13] Aoi**
Hmm?
**[11:16] Renji**
*That was too close!*
**[11:18] Renji**
* I gotta change into my disguise*
* before Aoi notices me!*
**[11:22] Renji**
Ready to go.
**[11:23] Karin**
Hey, mister. Whatcha doin'?
**[11:29] Renji**
*Is she gonna...?*
**[11:31] Renji**
* N-No, I'm in costume, so she won't*
* think of challenging me to a fight.*
**[11:36] Renji**
Mister? Do you have me
mistaken for someone else?
**[11:40] Karin**
What're you talkin' about?
**[11:42] Karin**
Come on, today's the day
you and I settle the score!
**[11:44] Renji**
*She sees right through it!*
**[11:46] Karin**
But like, why are you dressed so dumb today?
**[11:48] Renji**
Dumb? Uh, w-well, there's a reason for this.
**[11:52] Karin**
Oh yeah? When I destroy you,
**[11:54] Karin**
are you gonna blame the sunglasses and
say you couldn't see or something?
**[11:57] Renji**
Why would I bother with
such a clumsy excuse?
**[12:00] Karin**
Well then take them off!
**[12:00] Renji**
Hey!
**[12:03] Renji**
Give them back!
**[12:04] Karin**
Sure, as soon as you play against me.
**[12:07] Aoi**
Re...
**[12:10] Aoi**
Renji?
**[12:11] Renji**
Huh?
**[12:23] Lily**
Hmm?
**[12:45] Hotaru**
* Kusakabe-san seems depressed*
* for some reason.*
**[12:49] Hotaru**
*I wonder if something bad happened.*
**[12:52] Hotaru**
* At a time like this, it is the class*
* president's job to support her classmates.*
**[12:57] Hotaru**
* I have to do what I can*
* to help Kusakabe-san.*
**[13:00] Hotaru**
*Okay!*
**[13:01] Hotaru**
Kusakabe-san, if there's anything
bothering you, you can always...
**[13:15] Karin**
What's she lookin' so somber-like for?
**[13:17] Lily**
U-Um...
**[13:20] Karin**
Oh, okay. I guess that explains it.
**[13:23] Karin**
But who would have so much trouble recognizing
their own brother in such a weak-ass disguise?
**[13:28] Aoi**
Well, yeah! I can't explain that either!
**[13:32] Aoi**
But I had no idea the boy Lily confessed
her feelings to was my actual brother.
**[13:38] Karin**
Confessed her feelings?
**[13:39] Lily**
Uh, er...
**[13:40] Aoi**
But you realized it was my
brother from the start, right?
**[13:44] Lily**
Um...
**[13:46] Lily**
No, I didn't notice that at all!
**[13:49] Aoi**
Sorry I forced you into a lie so
bad your eyes started swimming!
**[13:52] Karin**
Wow, you gotta get better at fooling people.
**[13:57] Aoi**
Ever since then, whenever I see him at
home, it always gets a bit awkward.
**[14:05] Karin**
But why was he wearing a
disguise in the first place?
**[14:08] Aoi**
I think I have an idea why...

Aoi, I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
**[14:25] Aoi**
No, it isn't your fault, Lily-chan.
**[14:29] Aoi**
But I'm still not sure what to do about it.
**[14:32] Karin**
Well, it'll all work out.
**[14:34] Aoi**
Don't make it sound so easy!
**[14:36] Karin**
Well, me and my sister always get into
fights like it's the end of the world.
**[14:41] Aoi**
Fights like it's the end of the world?
**[14:44] Karin**
But after a while, things
always work out anyway.
**[14:48] Karin**
That's how it goes with siblings.
**[14:52] Brother**
Come on, we gotta get home!
**[14:55] Sister**
Wait up, big brother!
**[15:00] Aoi**
*Now that I think of it, when I was little...*
**[15:05] Aoi**
* whenever we got in a fight, Renji would*
* always bring out a game and say,*
**[15:09] Aoi**
* "I can't beat this boss by myself.*
* Help me out." He did that a lot.*
**[15:16] Aoi**
* Well, I doubt I can count*
* on that now, though.*
**[15:21] Aoi**
Come in.
***SIGN*** Otokogi Koala
***SIGN*** Otokogi Koala
**[15:23] Renji**
I can't beat this boss by myself.
I could use your help.
**[15:32] Aoi**
I guess that's okay.
**[15:35] Renji**
Well, we cleared the first level all right,
**[15:39] Renji**
but the second-level boss is a real beast.
**[15:42] Aoi**
The difficulty curve for this
game is seriously messed up.
**[15:52] Aoi**
Renji, why were you wearing a disguise?
**[15:56] Renji**
W-Well, it's just...
**[15:59] Renji**
You were talking about cutting
family ties and stuff.
**[16:02] Aoi**
Oh, so it really was that.
**[16:05] Aoi**
That was obviously just a stupid joke!
**[16:07] Renji**
Huh?
**[16:09] Aoi**
Lily-chan told me that you guys
had a lot of misunderstandings.
**[16:13] Aoi**
But even besides that,
**[16:16] Aoi**
I actually really trust you a lot, Renji.
**[16:21] Renji**
My dearest sister!
**[16:23] Aoi**
Eww, would you cut that out?
**[16:26] Aoi**
Ah, Renji!
**[16:27] Renji**
Huh? Ah!
**[16:28] Aoi**
Aww.
**[16:31] Aoi**
And we almost had him!
**[16:33] Renji**
S-Sorry.
**[16:36] Aoi**
Well, there's only one thing
left that I've got to say.
**[16:39] Renji**
Wh-What is it?
**[16:42] Aoi**
You'd better not do anything
to make Lily-chan upset!
**[16:46] Renji**
Eh?
**[16:47] Aoi**
You got that?
**[16:48] Renji**
Oh... Yeah.
**[16:51] Renji**
I got it.
**[16:56] Aoi**
Very well!
**[16:58] Aoi**
Now let's get our revenge on this guy.
**[17:00] Renji**
Yeah!
**[17:02] Aoi**
*I never know exactly what to do after a fight,*
**[17:13] Aoi**
*but my brother always figures something out.*
**[17:16] Aoi**
*Thanks, Renji.*
**[17:47] Aoi**
Nice, Lily-chan!
**[17:49] Game**
*Warning! Warning! Warning!*
**[18:31] Aoi**

Aoi!
**[19:01] Lily**
Shoot!
**[19:49] Renji**
Lily-chan!
**[19:54] Renji**
I'll take it from here.
**[20:03] Renji**
Just wait here.
**[20:51] Renji**
Lily-chan, I won't ever do
anything to make you upset.
**[20:55] Lily**
R-Renji...
**[20:59] Lily**
Dummy!
**[21:01] Renji**
Huh?
**[21:02] Lily**
Stupid!
**[21:02] Aoi**
Oh, come on, Renji! Lily-chan and I were
trying to get a one-credit clear together!
**[21:03] Lily**
Stu-squid!
**[21:04] Lily**
Dork-topus!
**[21:05] Lily**
Sure-imp!
**[21:06] Lily**
Shrimp!
**[21:07] Karin**
And you sneak in to steal the points
at the end looking all smug...
**[21:11] Karin**
Cringe.
**[21:12] Renji**
Huh?
**[21:13] Renji**
No, I wasn't trying to...
**[21:15] Renji**
I only did it for Lily-chan!
**[21:18] Renji**
Right, Aoi?
**[21:20] Aoi**
Please.
**[21:22] Aoi**
This isn't the right way.
**[21:29] Aoi**
Good morning!
**[21:31] Lily**
Good morning!
**[21:33] Glasses-chan**
Good morning. You're sure
in a better mood, Aoi.
**[21:37] Bangs-chan**
Yeah, you never get quiet like
that. We were worried about you.
**[21:40] Aoi**
Sorry, sorry. I'm back to normal now.
**[21:43] Hotaru**
* Thank goodness. It looks like*
* they're both feeling better now.*
**[21:47] Hotaru**
*Although I couldn't do anything for them.*
**[21:50] Aoi**
I'm glad though, 'cause I couldn't go
to the game center if things stayed awkward.
**[21:55] Hotaru**
*Game center?*
**[22:02] Hotaru**
It can't be!

**[00:14] Aoi**
Sorry, sorry. I'm back to normal now.
**[00:18] Bangs-chan**
You looked so depressed, even
Lily-chan was worried about you.
**[00:22] Glasses-chan**
Don't cause your Lily-chan
too much grief, boyfriend.
**[00:25] Aoi**
Who're you calling "boyfriend"?!

Game center?
**[00:45] Hotaru**
It can't be!

Wanna go back to the

**[00:51] Lily**
I do!
**[00:53] Aoi**
Are you coming, Kaga-san?

Yeah, sure.

Just a moment, girls.

You aren't planning to go

C... Class President?
**[01:06] Hotaru**
For some time now, I have been
receiving reports from the PTA.
**[01:10] Hotaru**
They say that some of our very own students
have been loitering at the game center.
**[01:14] Aoi**
Uh...
**[01:15] Hotaru**
To think that it was my very own
classmates, Lily-san and Kusakabe-san...
***SIGN*** Discipline
**[01:21] Hotaru**
The fact that it's you is simply...
**[01:24] Hotaru**
Lamentable!
**[01:25] Hotaru**
Devastating!
**[01:26] Hotaru**
Despicable!
**[01:27] Aoi**
She's really overselling it!
**[01:29] Aoi**
It's not that big a deal. It's not
against school regulations, anyway.
**[01:34] Hotaru**
No. You're the living embodiment
of inconsideration.
**[01:37] Aoi**
W-We're *that* bad?!
**[01:40] Karin**
Class Prez, was it?
**[01:43] Karin**
Sounds like you're way too uptight
to see what the deal is.
**[01:47] Hotaru**
Wh-What, now?
**[01:50] Karin**
For our pal,
***SIGN*** Cultural Exchange
**[01:52] Karin**
going to the game center is an important
part of cultural exchange, man.
**[01:56] Lily**
Hmm?
**[01:57] Hotaru**
Huh?
**[01:58] Karin**
There's more ways to study
than just sittin' at a desk.
**[02:01] Karin**
When you come all the way from overseas,
anywhere can be a place to learn!
***SIGN*** Discipline
**[02:05] Hotaru**
B-But she doesn't need to go to
a game center of all places!
**[02:09] Hotaru**
Listen, man. We've been takin'
her all over the place.
**[02:13] Hotaru**
We just happened to be
spotted at the game center.
**[02:16] Hotaru**
I...
**[02:18] Hotaru**
I see.
**[02:20] Karin**
Cool. So we'll catch ya later.
**[02:22] Karin**
Let's go, guys.
**[02:24] Hotaru**
W-Wait a minute!
**[02:26] Aoi; Karin; Lily**
Hmm?
**[02:28] Hotaru**
In that case, there should be no problem
if I join you at the game center, right?
**[02:33] Karin**
Huh?!
**[02:34] Hotaru**
As class president, I would
like you to show me exactly
**[02:38] Hotaru**
what kinds of things you are studying.
***SIGN*** Games, Print Club, Prizes,
Medal Games, Cosplay, etc...
**[04:34] Aoi**
What's wrong? You look confused.
**[04:36] Hotaru**
N-No, I just didn't think it would be so normal.
**[04:40] Karin**
Have you never been to a game center before?
**[04:43] Aoi**
What did you think it would be like?
**[04:45] Hotaru**
Um... more like...
**[04:48] Punk Student**
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah?
**[04:51] Hotaru**
Something like this.
**[04:52] Aoi**
I've never even seen thugs like that before!
**[04:54] Karin**
Stereotyping people ain't a good look, man.
**[04:58] Hotaru**
I do admit, I have held some stereotypes.
**[05:00] Hotaru**
However...
**[05:02] Hotaru**
I doubt it's possible to learn in
a place full of nothing but games!
**[05:05] Aoi**
*Why's she so smug?*
**[05:07] Aoi**
Hmm. Do they have any educational games?
**[05:12] Renji**
I overheard you all talking.
**[05:13] Lily**
Renji!
**[05:15] Aoi**
Renji?
**[05:16] Hotaru**
An employee?
**[05:17] Renji**
If you're looking for an educational game,
I've got just the thing.
**[05:21] Hotaru**
Huh?
**[05:26] Hotaru**
This is a... quiz game?
**[05:29] Aoi**
Huh. It does look like
it might be educational.
**[05:33] Renji**
It has quizzes on all sorts of subjects.
***SIGN*** Select Subject
***SIGN*** Anime
***SIGN*** Lifestyle

**[05:35] Renji**
You can play cooperatively
or against your friends.
**[05:40] Karin**
Well, it's our first time trying it,
so wanna go co-op?
**[05:43] Karin**
Whoever knows the answer
can push the button.
**[05:46] Aoi**
Sounds good.
**[05:47] Lily**
All right!

**[06:07] Hotaru**

**[06:17] Hotaru**
What? There's no way a koala would
show up in a saying from Japan!
**[06:21] Lily**
I'm sorry!
**[06:23] Karin**
Whatever. It's cool.
**[06:24] Aoi**
Yeah, yeah. It's just a game.
It's okay to mess up.
**[06:28] Hotaru**
Oh.
**[06:29] Hotaru**
*I-I guess so. It's okay to get it wrong.*
**[06:33] Hotaru**
* This isn't class or practice.*
* It's just a game.*
**[06:40] Hotaru**
I suppose you're right.
**[06:42] Hotaru**
Lily-san...
**[06:43] Hotaru**
I-I'm sorry.
**[06:47] Lily**
It's okay! Let's do the next one.
**[06:51] Hotaru**
All right!

*Correct.*
**[07:13] Lily**
Nice!
**[07:14] Aoi**
I'm surprised you knew!
**[07:16] Karin**
Piece of cake, man.
**[07:17] Hotaru**
*They're all really good.*
**[07:17] Aoi**
You're pretty good at this!
**[07:19] Karin**
I read it in some manga.
**[07:19] Hotaru**
* I'm the only one who hasn't*
* gotten any right yet.*
**[07:21] Aoi**
Yeah? Which one?

*Stage clear.*
**[07:48] Lily**
Yay!
**[07:49] Hotaru**
L-Lily-san! You're overreacting.
It's just a game!
**[07:53] Karin**
What are you talkin' about?
You were totally into it.
**[07:56] Aoi**
You were so happy when you
got that question right!
**[07:59] Hotaru**
J-Just because...
**[08:01] Lily**
Amazing, President!
**[08:03] Hotaru**
I just got lucky, that's all.
**[08:05] Karin**
Don't get so embarrassed.
**[08:07] Hotaru**
I-I'm not embarrassed!
**[08:08] Aoi**
I'm surprised you knew it, though.
**[08:10] Hotaru**
Well, it came up in my lessons once.
**[08:13] Lily**
Amazing, President! Amazing!
**[08:24] Aoi**
Game center today?
**[08:25] Lily**
Hmm. I'm almost out of allowance.
**[08:28] Hotaru**
Just a moment, girls.
***SIGN*** Adaptability
**[08:32] Hotaru**
A-Aren't you going today?
**[08:36] Hotaru**
To... To the game center?
**[08:38] Aoi**
*She's dying to go back!*
**[09:01] Karin**
Yo.
**[09:02] Karin**
Why are you creepin' around like that, Prez?
**[09:07] Aoi**
Why didn't you just come with us?
**[09:09] Lily**
You're just like a ninja!
**[09:11] Hotaru**
W-Well, that's because...
**[09:16] Hotaru**
The last time I came, I didn't know
if it would be educational or not.
**[09:20] Hotaru**
In order to find out, you'd have
to try everything out once,
**[09:23] Hotaru**
and if you don't get it
at first, try, try again.
**[09:25] Hotaru**
So I returned merely to
deepen my understanding.
**[09:28] Aoi**
*S-She's talking so fast!*
**[09:30] Hotaru**
In fact, to prepare for today,
**[09:32] Hotaru**
I did some research on the types
of games at a game center.
***SIGN*** On Fighting Games
**[09:36] Aoi**
Our president's going all in on it.
**[09:38] Lily**
Sure is.
**[09:39] Karin**
Fighting games, medal games, crane games...
**[09:42] Karin**
Yeah, this place has those covered.
**[09:44] Hotaru**
Is that right?
**[09:46] Lily**
Let's play them all!
**[09:47] Aoi**
Okay. Let's go through them one by one.
**[09:57] Karin**
Hey, you got some good moves there. But...
**[10:01] Karin**
you got a long way to go
before you'll best me!
**[10:07] Game**
*K.O.!*
**[10:09] Aoi**
Ahh, I lost.
**[10:11] Lily**
Wow, Master! But you did well, Aoi!
**[10:15] Hotaru**
What incredible motor control, Kaga-san.
**[10:18] Hotaru**
I'm sure that skill would help with typing.
**[10:21] Aoi**
*That's one way to look at it.*
**[10:23] Karin**
Okay, you're up, Prez.
**[10:34] Karin**
Calm down. You're thrashing
the stick around again.
**[10:37] Karin**
Prez, you can't just wait and block.
You gotta go in hard.
**[10:42] Hotaru**
I... I never imagined it
would be this difficult.
**[10:48] Brown-Haired Guy**
They've got some moves.
**[10:49] Glasses Guy**
Yeah. We'll have to strive to stay ahead.
**[10:55] Aoi**
* I got this creepy feeling*

*Okay, let's play!*

**[11:21] Karin**
Yeah, I don't have any tricks
to share for that one.
**[11:25] Hotaru**
Don't worry, Lily-san.
I'll avenge you right this instant!
**[11:29] Aoi**
Hey, wait!
**[11:30] Janken Game**
*Okay, let's play!*
**[11:31] Janken Game**
*Rock, paper—*

**[11:42] Hotaru**
What a wretched game.
**[11:44] Lily**
We'll beat it next time!
**[11:46] Hotaru**
Yes! Let's study up and get our revenge!
**[11:49] Karin**
I ain't touchin' that crap.
**[11:51] Aoi**
Come on, just play something else.
**[11:54] Hotaru**
No! I will have my revenge!
**[11:57] Renji**
Oh, Lily-chan.
**[11:59] Lily**
Renji!
**[12:02] Renji**
I see you brought your friends today.
**[12:04] Karin**
Hey bro, you ready to grow
a spine and take me on yet?
**[12:08] Renji**
Well, I've been really busy with work.
**[12:11] Karin**
So quit your job.
**[12:12] Aoi**
Come on, don't ask the impossible.
**[12:14] Lily**
Renji!
**[12:15] Lily**
Any new Mr. Koala stuff today?
**[12:18] Renji**
Hmm? Oh! We got some new charms
and stuffed animals and things.
**[12:23] Lily**
Hurray!
**[12:24] Hotaru**
Koala?
**[12:25] Hotaru**
Is that a prize for some kind of game?
**[12:33] Lily**
That one!
**[12:34] Hotaru**
Oh, a crane game.
**[12:36] Hotaru**
However, this one does not
appear very educational.
**[12:40] Karin**
Fighting games, medal games... everything in
life has the potential to be educational.
**[12:46] Karin**
I bet that's what Lily is tryin' to say.
**[12:49] Hotaru**
I see! You do have a point.
**[12:52] Aoi**
*That's all it takes to convince you?*
**[12:54] Lily**
All right! I'll show you how to play!
**[12:57] Hotaru**
O-Okay.
**[13:04] Aoi**
That's a really good spot!
**[13:05] Hotaru**
It certainly is!
**[13:15] Karin**
You get this way over crane games, too?
**[13:17] Aoi**
B-But you're making good progress!
**[13:20] Karin**
You only moved it like three millimeters!
**[13:22] Aoi**
Kaga-san, I'm trying to cheer her up!
**[13:24] Hotaru**
Th-This is unbelievable.
**[13:28] Hotaru**
Is it giving us a practical lesson about
how life does not always go as planned?
**[13:33] Aoi**
*No, it's definitely not!*
**[13:35] Lily**
Renji!
**[13:37] Renji**
All right, all right.
**[13:39] Hotaru**
Hmm?
**[13:43] Renji**
Does this look about right?
**[13:44] Lily**
Thank you!
**[13:45] Hotaru**
What the?!
**[13:46] Hotaru**
What is going on?!
Is blatant favoritism permitted here?
**[13:50] Renji**
No, no, no!
It's one of our official policies!
**[13:54] Renji**
When one of our regulars spends a certain
amount on a game, we're allowed to help out.
**[13:59] Karin**
In real life, it's important to
be able to reach out for help.
**[14:03] Hotaru**
I see.
**[14:04] Hotaru**
That could become a crucial communication
skill when we enter the workforce.
**[14:08] Renji**
Sure... let's go with that.
***SIGN*** Chivalry
**[14:15] Lily**
I did it! Thanks, Renji!
**[14:19] Renji**
Well done!
**[14:22] Aoi**
Don't you want to try a crane game, President?
**[14:25] Hotaru**
Huh? Um...
**[14:27] Hotaru**
I would get in trouble if I brought a
stuffed animal home with me.
**[14:33] Hotaru**
I do like that Koala-san, though.
It's really cute.
**[14:36] Lily**
President...
**[14:38] Aoi**
Really? I wonder if there's
anything we can do.
**[14:41] Karin**
You could try to sneak one home,
but stuffed animals are easy to spot.
**[14:45] Renji**
Oh! In that case...
**[14:52] Renji**
You could probably attach one of these to
your pencil case without it getting noticed.
**[14:57] Hotaru**
Y-Yes, one of these might work.
**[14:59] Hotaru**
I'll give it a try!
***SIGN*** Swoosh...
**[15:04] Hotaru**
I haven't been able to get a single one!
**[15:07] Renji**
Well, you've got to line it up just right.
**[15:11] Lily**
Good luck!
**[15:12] Aoi**
It looks like you've been
getting close, though.
**[15:28] Karin**
You gonna call it?
**[15:39] Hotaru**
I see.
**[15:41] Hotaru**
This game teaches you perseverance.
**[15:45] Hotaru**
That must be what it's all about.
**[15:50] Karin**
So you finally get it, huh.
**[15:52] Aoi**
*There's no way you ever thought of that!*
**[15:55] Hotaru**
This is it.
**[15:58] Hotaru**
Do or die.
**[16:00] Hotaru**
One last time!
**[16:17] Hotaru**
I got it...
**[16:19] Lily**
All right!
**[16:20] Hotaru**
Whoa!
**[16:21] Aoi**
Your perseverance paid off, President!
**[16:23] Karin**
Yeah, way to go.
**[16:25] Renji**
Congratulations!
**[16:26] Hotaru**
C-Come on, it's not a big deal.
**[16:28] Renji**
You're getting the hang of it!
**[16:29] Lily**
Koala!
**[16:34] Hotaru**
* Is it really all right for a*
* class president to have this much fun?*
**[16:49] Aoi**
Man, we're all gamed out today!
**[16:52] Lily**
Mm-hmm!
***SIGN*** Thoughts on Crane Games
**[16:57] Karin**
You're sure doin' your research, huh.
**[16:59] Hotaru**
I wanted to jot down my observations.
**[17:01] Hotaru**
Thanks to you guys, I was able to try
all the games I was curious about!
**[17:05] Hotaru**
Thank you very much!
**[17:07] Aoi**
It's worth it if you had fun, President!
**[17:11] Aoi**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Print Club
**[17:12] Aoi**
You haven't tried one
of those yet, have you?
**[17:15] Hotaru**
Oh, this is a...
**[17:17] Lily**
Purikura?
**[17:20] Lily**
Oh, it's called a photo booth, ne?
**[17:23] Aoi**
"Photo booth"? Huh. So that's
what they're called in English?
**[17:27] Lily**
Let's do one together!
**[17:28] Aoi**
Nice idea!
**[17:30] Hotaru**
Um, I'd like to take pictures too,
**[17:34] Hotaru**
but it doesn't appear to
be educationally relevant.
**[17:38] Lily**
Let's go!
**[17:43] Hotaru**
This... This is a purikura?
**[17:47] Aoi**
Should we just do the recommended poses?
**[17:50] Lily**
Yeah!
**[17:50] Hotaru**
I'll leave it to you.
**[17:52] Karin**
I'm not taking a picture.
That ain't my thing.
**[17:55] Aoi**
But it might still be fun once you try it!
**[17:57] Karin**
No way. And didn't you just say it
isn't educational anyway, Prez?
**[18:03] Hotaru**
Yes, I did.
**[18:05] Hotaru**
However, I'm starting to wonder if purikura
might help teach teamwork.
**[18:10] Karin**
Nah, you can't learn that from print club.
It's nothin' like that.
***SIGN*** Cold...
**[18:14] Aoi**
*We get this far and she bails?*
**[18:16] Hotaru**
Perhaps you're right.
**[18:17] Aoi**
Who cares anyway?
**[18:19] Aoi**
We've already studied plenty today.
**[18:22] Lily**
I want a picture with you, Master.
**[18:24] Karin**
Yeah, I'm really not into it.
**[18:27] Lily**
Please, Master!
**[18:32] Hotaru**
Kaga-san, would you please?
**[18:34] Hotaru**
Let's all take pictures together.
**[18:44] Karin**
Argh, jeez. Fine! What the hell.
**[18:57] Hotaru**
It's somewhat cramped and uncomfortable.
**[19:00] Print Club**
*Let's start taking pictures!*
**[19:03] Hotaru**
Everybody, it looks like
we should stand here.
**[19:06] Hotaru**
Please pose the way the
machine tells you to, okay?
**[19:09] Aoi**
All right!
**[19:10] Lily**
Mm-hmm!
**[19:11] Karin**
You president of the print club now too?
**[19:12] Print Club**
*First is a bunny pose.*
**[19:14] Print Club**
*Make ears with your hands and hop, hop!*
**[19:17] Karin**
Huh? Bunny phose?
**[19:19] Hotaru**
D-Does this look right?
**[19:21] Lily**
Bunny goes hop, hop!
**[19:23] Aoi**
Looking good, Lily-chan!
**[19:27] Karin**
We're seriously doing this?
**[19:30] Print Club**
*Five.*
**[19:32] Print Club**
*Four.*
**[19:32] Aoi**
Here it comes!
**[19:33] Print Club**
*Three.*
**[19:34] Lily**
Hop!
**[19:35] Print Club**
*Two.*
**[19:36] Lily**
Hop!
**[19:36] Aoi**
Lily-chan?!
**[19:38] Hotaru**
What a crazy picture!
**[19:40] Lily**
I'm sorry. Did I get too close?
**[19:42] Hotaru**
I-I like it. It's very dynamic.
**[19:45] Karin**
Yo, can we delete this?
**[19:47] Aoi**
No, we can't!
**[19:49] Hotaru**
Aren't our eyes too big?
**[19:51] Aoi**
That's how you do it in a purikura photo.
**[19:53] Aoi**
What? My brother too?!
**[19:55] Lily**
He was passing by.
**[19:57] Hotaru**
And that's reason enough to go grab him?
**[20:00] Aoi**
I never imagined it would be this tricky.
**[20:03] Hotaru**
The actual photography is
relatively straightforward.
**[20:06] Hotaru**
I guess a picture is worth a thousand words.
**[20:09] Print Club**
*Next one is the final pose.*
**[20:12] Karin**
Ugh. Finally.
**[20:14] Hotaru**
We've got to nail the pose this time!
**[20:17] Aoi**
Don't get so uptight, Prez.
**[20:19] Hotaru**
Then again...
**[20:22] Hotaru**
It's okay if we mess up, right?
**[20:30] Aoi**
Of course it is!
**[20:31] Lily**
Oh boy, oh boy!
**[20:33] Print Club**
*Turn yourselves into wild women!*
**[20:35] Print Club**
* Make claws with your hands and*
* pose like you're roaring!*
**[20:38] Karin**
It's always the same kind of crap pose!

**[21:01] Bangs-chan**
Hey, hey, President?
**[21:05] Hotaru**
I-Is something wrong?
**[21:07] Glasses-chan**
No, we've just never seen
you with one of those.
**[21:11] Hotaru**
Oh, you mean this?
**[21:12] Glasses-chan**
It's so cute!
**[21:14] Bangs-chan**
Where did you buy it?
**[21:16] Hotaru**
Um...
**[21:18] Hotaru**
It was a kind of unusual store, I guess.
**[21:20] Bangs-chan**
Wow! Wait, how much did it cost?
**[21:24] Hotaru**
Uh... I don't really remember.
**[21:31] Hotaru**
* I can't tell them I spent*
* almost all of my allowance!*
**[21:35] Bangs-chan; Glasses-chan**
*Then it must be a really premium item!*
**[21:41] Bangs-chan**
Well if you remember,
please tell us, President.
**[21:44] Hotaru**
S-Sure!

**[00:03] Sheryl**
Lily! It's morning!
**[00:06] Lily**
Okay...
**[00:22] Aoi**
Renji, you're gonna be late!
**[00:40] Lily**
Good morning.
**[00:42] Sheryl**
Good morning.
**[00:43] Oliver**
Good morning, Lily!
**[00:45] Sheryl**
Breakfast is on the table.
**[00:46] Lily**
Thank you.
**[00:54] Lily**
Thank you for the food.
**[01:00] Renji**
Good morning.
**[01:01] Renji's Mom**
Good morning. You'd better hurry up and eat.
**[01:05] Aoi**
Morning, Renji.
**[01:12] Aoi**
Thank you for the food.
**[01:12] Renji**
Thank you for the food.
**[01:17] Oliver**
By the way, Lily, isn't it
about that time of year?
**[01:20] Lily**
It sure is!
**[01:22] Sheryl**
Did you invite your friends?
**[01:25] Lily**
Yeah, they said they'd come.
**[01:26] Sheryl**
Oh good!
I'll get things ready.
**[01:32] Lily**
Thanks.
**[01:40] Lily**
How salty!
**[01:42] Renji**
How sour!
***SIGN*** I want you to come to my house on the 24th.
I asked my friends from class
**[03:26] Lily**
That doesn't sound right.
There's gotta be a better way to say it.
**[03:32] Sheryl**
Lily, you're still awake?
**[03:35] Lily**
I keep telling you to
knock before coming in!
**[03:38] Sheryl**
Oh!
**[03:40] Sheryl**
But I did knock.
**[03:42] Lily**
Huh?
**[03:44] Sheryl**
You must've been concentrating
so hard you didn't hear it.
**[03:46] Sheryl**
Hmm? What's all that?
**[03:49] Lily**
Oh!
**[03:50] Sheryl**
Oh, were you writing what
I think you were writing?
**[03:54] Lily**
Would you get out already?
**[03:57] Sheryl**
Fine, fine. I'm going, I'm going.
***SIGN*** Games, Print Club, Prizes,

**[04:09] Renji**
*I can definitely feel her looking at me.*
**[04:12] Renji**
*But why does she think she has to hide?*
**[04:17] Renji**
*Sh-She's definitely avoiding me!*
**[04:23] Renji**
*Did I do something to upset her again?*
**[04:35] Renji**
See you later.
**[04:38] Renji**
* Lily-chan didn't even*
* come see me after that.*
**[04:42] Renji**
*What's up with her?*
**[04:45] Renji**
Huh? Oh, Lily-chan?
**[04:48] Renji**
Uh...
**[04:52] Lily**
Here. I want you to read this.
**[04:56] Renji**
What is it?
**[05:15] Lily**
*Dear Kusakabe Renji-sama,*
**[05:17] Lily**
* I will be holding a birthday*
* party at my home on June 24th.*
**[05:23] Lily**
* Aoi, my master, and my other school*
* friends will be attending.*
**[05:27] Lily**
* If you are available, may I*
* ask you to join us as well?*
**[05:31] Renji**
*Her birthday?*
**[05:33] Renji**
Is this the reason you were
acting so nervous today?
**[05:36] Lily**
Huh?
**[05:38] Lily**
U-Um yeah...
**[05:42] Renji**
That's a relief.
**[05:44] Renji**
I was worried I'd done something wrong.
***SIGN*** Dear Kusakabe Renji-sama,
***SIGN*** I will be holding a birthday party at my home on June 24th. Aoi, my master, and my other
school friends will be attending. If you are available, may I ask you to join us as well?
**[05:47] Renji**
* Wow, Lily-chan can already*
* write Japanese so well.*
**[05:52] Renji**
*It's actually kind of touching.*
**[05:54] Lily**
So, well, Renji, will you come?
**[05:59] Renji**
Of course I'll go!
**[06:00] Lily**
Really?
**[06:02] Lily**
That's a promise!
**[06:08] Lily**
You better really mean it!
**[06:11] Renji**
Of course!
**[06:23] Renji**
Uh, hold up.
**[06:24] Renji**
Now that I think about it, isn't this party
**[06:27] Renji**
gonna be all middle school girls except me?
**[06:30] Renji**
And with her dad there?
**[06:35] Renji**
A-Am I gonna be okay?
**[06:48] Hotaru**
We shall now begin our planning session
for Lily-san's birthday party.
**[06:52] Bangs-chan**
Yay!
**[06:52] Glasses-chan**
Yay!
**[06:54] Hotaru**
An actual birthday party does sound
somewhat exciting, doesn't it?
**[06:58] Karin**
Man, why do I have to go?
**[07:01] Aoi**
It's Lily-chan's birthday party.
You're coming, aren't you?
**[07:04] Karin**
Well, yeah.
**[07:05] Bangs-chan**
So how should we do this?
**[07:07] Glasses-chan**
We should make sure that we
don't give any duplicate presents.
**[07:12] Aoi**
In that case, we'd better decide
what to give her right now.
**[07:16] Glasses-chan**
Lily-chan already has a bunch of
Otokogi Koala merch, doesn't she?
**[07:20] Bangs-chan**
It would be awkward to give her
something she already has.
**[07:23] Aoi**
Then it might be safest to avoid
giving her any Otokogi Koala stuff.
**[07:27] Hotaru**
Mm-hmm.
***SIGN*** Presents
**[07:30] Aoi**
Then what should we get her?
**[07:33] Karin**
Why don't we each just give
her whatever we want?
**[07:36] Hotaru**
Have you already decided
on a present, Kaga-san?
***SIGN*** Presents
***SIGN*** other than
Otokogi Koala
**[07:40] Karin**
Probably some gamer stuff.
**[07:43] Aoi**
Well, at least you're consistent.
**[07:46] Bangs-chan**
But I think I understand.
**[07:47] Glasses-chan**
Yeah. I think it's the thought that
really matters, not the present itself.
**[07:52] Aoi**
Well said!
**[07:54] Bangs-chan**
Good thinking, Kaga-san.
**[07:57] Hotaru**
Well then, I'll give Lily-san a
stationery set that I think she'll enjoy.
**[08:01] Aoi**
Maybe I'll get her cosmetics or something.
**[08:05] Glasses-chan**
W-We'd better make up our minds.
**[08:07] Bangs-chan**
Um, something different,
something different...
**[08:11] Lily**
What are you guys doing?
**[08:12] Aoi; Bangs-chan; Glasses-chan; Hotaru**
Ah!
**[08:15] Lily**
What's the matter?
**[08:17] Aoi**
Oh, it's nothing!
**[08:19] Hotaru**
Oh! Recess is almost over!
**[08:22] Bangs-chan**
I'm *really* excited to get back
to class for some reason!
**[08:25] Glasses-chan**
M-Math sounds like so much fun right now!
**[08:27] Karin**
You guys seriously suck at lying.
**[08:34] Aoi; Bangs-chan; Glasses-chan; Hotaru; Karin; Renji**
Happy birthday to you
**[08:38] Aoi; Bangs-chan; Glasses-chan; Hotaru; Karin; Renji**
Happy birthday to you
**[08:42] Aoi; Bangs-chan; Glasses-chan; Hotaru; Karin; Renji**
Happy birthday, dear Lily-chan
**[08:49] Aoi; Bangs-chan; Glasses-chan; Hotaru; Karin; Renji**
Happy birthday to you!
**[08:56] Sheryl**
Okay everyone, here we go!
**[08:58] Sheryl**
Hip, hip...
**[08:59] Aoi; Bangs-chan; Glasses-chan; Hotaru; Karin; Renji**
Hooray!
**[09:00] Aoi; Bangs-chan; Glasses-chan; Hotaru; Karin; Renji**
Yay!
**[09:01] Sheryl**
Whoo!
**[09:03] Narrator**
*Allow me to explain.*
**[09:05] Narrator**
* In the UK, after singing, the guests all*
* give a cheer for the birthday person.*
**[09:13] Lily**
Thanks, everyone!
**[09:15] Aoi**
We're so happy that you're our friend and
that we get to celebrate your birthday!
**[09:21] Bangs-chan**
Yeah!
**[09:21] Glasses-chan**
Yeah!
**[09:24] Sheryl**
Thank you all so much for
always being so kind to Lily!
**[09:29] Aoi**
Well, she's a really good friend!
**[09:31] Karin**
Are birthdays really such a big deal?
It just means you're getting older.
**[09:36] Aoi**
You always gotta be such
a downer, don't you?
**[09:39] Renji**
Come on, now.
**[09:41] Renji**
Let's relax and enjoy some delicious food!
**[09:44] Renji**
Here, Lily-chan.
**[09:45] Lily**
Thanks, Renji.
**[09:47] Bangs-chan**
What kind of relationship do Renji-san
and Lily-chan have anyway?
**[09:51] Glasses-chan**
I-I dunno.
**[09:53] Glasses-chan**
All I heard is that they're pretty close.
**[09:56] Lily**
You should have some too, Renji.
**[09:58] Renji**
Well thanks, but I'll
save the cake for last.
**[10:05] Lily**
Say "aah."
**[10:06] Renji**
Huh?!
**[10:08] Bangs-chan**
*They're more than close. They're flirting!*
**[10:11] Renji**
* Man, if Lily-chan's dad*
* walked in on us like this...*
**[10:15] Oliver**
"Aah" my ass. You bastard.
**[10:19] Oliver**
She's never even done that for me before!
**[10:25] Renji**
*It would be a disaster!*
**[10:28] Renji**
B-By the way, where is your dad today?
**[10:31] Lily**
At work! We'll have a family party tomorrow.
**[10:35] Renji**
O-Oh. No kidding.
**[10:37] Renji**
*I'm clear!*
**[10:39] Renji**
Aah.
**[10:41] Bangs-chan**
It's so cool that you can
understand English, Renji-san!
**[10:46] Lily**
He *is* really cool, isn't he?
**[10:50] Bangs-chan**
Why does she sound so proud of him?
**[10:53] Glasses-chan**
I know. What's the deal with them?
**[11:11] Hotaru**
You've been a very gracious host.
Thank you for everything.
**[11:14] Hotaru**
It's all so delicious!
**[11:16] Sheryl**
I'm more than happy to do this for
Lily's friends. Eat up, everyone.
**[11:21] Hotaru**
All right!
**[11:22] Lily**
Aah.
**[11:23] Renji**
Thanks.
**[11:25] Renji**
But really, Lily-chan, you don't
have to feed me the whole piece.
**[11:29] Lily**
Aah!
**[11:30] Sheryl**
Lily sure seems to be enjoying herself.
**[11:46] Aoi; Bangs-chan; Glasses-chan; Hotaru; Karin; Lily; Renji**
Thank you for the food!
**[11:50] Renji**
Whew!
**[11:54] Sheryl**
Lily, you should get ready now.
**[11:56] Lily**
Oh, that's right!
**[11:58] Renji**
Hmm?
**[12:00] Lily**
I just remembered something I
gotta do. I'll be back in a bit.
**[12:04] Renji**
But it's your own birthday party!
**[12:09] Lily**
Have fun while I'm gone, okay?
**[12:12] Sheryl**
Make yourselves at home, everyone.
**[12:14] Renji**
Huh?
**[12:16] Aoi**
What in the world is going on?
**[12:18] Hotaru**
They seem to be in quite a hurry.
**[12:21] Karin**
Then it's time to get gaming, man!
**[12:22] Aoi**
You came prepared for this?!
**[12:30] Karin**
Today's the day I finally
settle the score, bro.
**[12:34] Renji**
But we're guests at a celebration.
**[12:36] Karin**
So we'll celebrate
my victory while we're at it.
**[12:39] Aoi**
She's talking crazy again
**[12:39] Renji**
She's talking crazy again.
**[12:41] Hotaru**
Well, we don't always get
a chance to play together.
**[12:45] Bangs-chan**
And we do have enough
controllers for everyone.
**[12:48] Glasses-chan**
I wonder if I'll survive.
**[12:52] Karin**
Guess I got no choice.
**[12:54] Karin**
I'll take you *all* on, then!
**[12:57] Game**
*Game set!*
**[13:01] Karin**
Damn it! I'm still second place!
Why the hell can't I take this guy?!
**[13:06] Hotaru**
W-We haven't even beaten him once.
**[13:11] Aoi**
Hey. Go easy on them.
**[13:14] Renji**
S-Sorry.
**[13:15] Karin**
I want a rematch! Rematch!
**[13:18] Renji**
Uh, sure. Once I take a quick break.
**[13:21] Karin**
You'd better not bail on me!
**[13:23] Bangs-chan**
Renji-san sure is good.
**[13:25] Glasses-chan**
I wonder if he's a pro.
**[13:26] Renji**
Come on, I'm not that good.
**[13:29] Lily**
You're right, though. Renji is super good!
**[13:32] Aoi**
What? Lily-chan?
***SIGN*** Chivalry
**[13:57] Lily**
Ta-da!
**[13:59] Aoi**
Huh?
**[13:59] Renji**
Huh?
**[14:00] Bangs-chan**
How cute!
**[14:00] Glasses-chan**
How cute!
**[14:01] Hotaru**
You truly look wonderful, Lily-san.
**[14:03] Lily**
Really?
**[14:05] Sheryl**
I hope this isn't too much
of a surprise, friends.
**[14:09] Sheryl**
One way we celebrate birthday
parties in England
**[14:12] Sheryl**
is to get dressed up somewhat like
you do for Japanese "cosplay."
**[14:15] Lily**
I wanted to give you all a chance to enjoy
a real British-style birthday party.
**[14:20] Renji**
Ah. So that's why you're
*Alice in Wonderland*!
**[14:23] Aoi**
What do you mean "ah"?
Give her an actual compliment!
**[14:27] Renji**
Ah...
**[14:30] Renji**
Um, you look even cuter than normal!
**[14:33] Renji**
It's almost like you've
become the real Alice!
**[14:37] Lily**
That's too much...
**[14:39] Renji**
Huh? S-Sorry.
**[14:42] Aoi**
You always overdo it, Renji.
**[14:48] Sheryl**
Oh, I know! Since you're all here, why
don't you all try cosplaying too?
**[14:52] Aoi; Bangs-chan; Glasses-chan; Hotaru; Karin; Renji**
Huh?
**[14:54] Sheryl**
You're all so adorable!
**[14:58] Sheryl**
I'm glad I kept all these
party costumes on hand.
**[15:06] Aoi**
"I'm gonna get you lost!" Or something.
**[15:09] Hotaru**
Am I the white rabbit?
**[15:11] Aoi**
It fits you perfectly, President.
**[15:13] Hotaru**
D-Do you really think so?
**[15:18] Bangs-chan**
This might be the first
time I've ever cosplayed.
**[15:20] Glasses-chan**
I-It's kinda embarrassing but it's still fun.
**[15:25] Karin**
What the hell am I doing?
**[15:26] Hotaru**
That looks wonderful on you, Kaga-san.
**[15:29] Karin**
At least I didn't get stuck
with something all frilly.
**[15:32] Lily**
You all look so cute!
***SIGN*** Chivalry
**[15:38] Renji**
I'm the only one that's different.
**[15:40] Lily**
Renji, you look perfect!
**[15:43] Hotaru**
I think we've got most of the
*Alice in Wonderland* characters covered.
**[15:47] Renji**
Was there really a koala in it?
**[15:50] Karin**
You gotta be kidding, dude.
***SIGN*** Chivalry
**[15:57] Aoi**
W-Well, Lily-chan seems satisfied at least.
**[16:02] Sheryl**
All right everyone, it's picture time.
**[16:11] Aoi**
Lily-chan, we girls all brought
something to give you.
**[16:15] Lily**
Huh?
**[16:16] Renji**
Actually, so did I—
**[16:18] Aoi**
You go last, Renji.
**[16:19] Renji**
Huh?
**[16:21] Girls**
Ta-da!
**[16:23] Lily**
Wow!
**[16:25] Aoi**
We brought a bunch of different presents
that we thought you would like.
**[16:30] Sheryl**
Isn't that nice of them, Lily?
**[16:32] Lily**
Mm-hmm.
**[16:34] Lily**
Can I open them?
**[16:35] Aoi**
Of course!
**[16:45] Lily**
Ooh! An arcade-style controller!
**[16:48] Lily**
Thank you, Master!
**[16:50] Karin**
Sure. Now you just gotta practice.
**[16:54] Lily**
Stationery?!
**[16:56] Lily**
How cute!
**[16:58] Hotaru**
That one is a gift from me.
**[17:01] Hotaru**
I hoped it might help you enjoy
your time studying about Japan.
**[17:06] Lily**
It's so cute, I almost don't want to use it.
**[17:09] Hotaru**
By all means, please do use it.
**[17:12] Lily**
Thanks, Hotaru!
**[17:14] Hotaru**
Ho-Hotaru...
**[17:16] Hotaru**
L-Lily-san called me by my first name!
**[17:21] Lily**
Oh! Lip balm!
**[17:23] Aoi**
Oh. That one is mine. I guess that's
what they call lip cream in English.
**[17:28] Lily**
The package is so cute.
**[17:31] Lily**
Thanks, Aoi!
**[17:32] Aoi**
You're welcome!
**[17:35] Lily**
These ones sure are big.
**[17:37] Bangs-chan**
Oh...
**[17:38] Glasses-chan**
Those are from us.
**[17:40] Lily**
I wonder what this is.
**[17:42] Lily**
Wow!
**[17:44] Glasses-chan**
I really wasn't sure what to get you, so
I went with a traditional Japanese food.
**[17:50] Lily**
Looks delicious! Like a fruit!
**[17:53] Aoi; Bangs-chan; Glasses-chan; Hotaru; Karin; Renji**
Uh...
**[17:55] Glasses-chan**
Oh good! I'm glad you like it!
**[17:59] Lily**
What's this one?
**[18:01] Lily**
Oh! Marmite!
**[18:05] Bangs-chan**
I've never given a present to
someone from a foreign country,
**[18:08] Bangs-chan**
so I overthought it too.
**[18:11] Bangs-chan**
I thought maybe you'd like a
familiar food or something.
**[18:14] Lily**
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
**[18:17] Bangs-chan**
Wh-What a relief.
**[18:19] Renji**
Oh, Lily-chan. Is it okay if I
give you my present now too?
**[18:24] Lily**
Oh!
**[18:36] Renji**
A handkerchief. I really hope you like it.
**[18:40] Lily**
The one limited to amusement arcades!
**[18:44] Renji**
Whoa! You know your stuff! You
recognized it immediately!
**[18:50] Lily**
I'll always take good care
of it! Thanks, Renji!
**[18:53] Bangs-chan**
He gave her Otokogi Koala merch and
wasn't worried she'd already have it...
**[18:57] Bangs-chan**
Does he know everything Lily
has in her collection?
**[19:00] Glasses-chan**
What is Renji-san to her anyway?
**[19:15] Aoi**
I kind of feel bad that we're having
so much fun without her father here.
**[19:20] Sheryl**
It's fine, it's fine. He's so enthusiastic
that things always get out of control.
**[19:26] Sheryl**
He actually prepared his own costume
for her birthday again this year.
**[19:31] Aoi**
Costume?
**[19:33] Sheryl**
Oh.
**[19:34] Aoi**
Is something wrong?
**[19:36] Sheryl**
Well, I might have told him the
wrong day for our family party.
**[19:43] Oliver**
Hey! Daddy finished work
early and came home!
**[19:55] Oliver**
Sorry. I'll come back later.
**[20:00] Oliver**
What the hell're *you* doing here?!
**[20:02] Renji**
Huh?
**[20:03] Oliver**
And you're wearing the same thing as me?!
**[20:05] Oliver**
Well, my koala is more dignified
and more beautiful!
**[20:08] Oliver**
Isn't that right, Lily?!
**[20:10] Lily**
Renji, say cheese!
**[20:20] Oliver**
You bastard!
**[21:03] Lily**
Mama, I want some of those
red things I got as a present.
**[21:07] Sheryl**
All right.
**[21:10] Sheryl**
You mean these?
**[21:31] Aoi**
Isn't that the same thing Lily got?
**[21:33] Renji**
Yeah. I found it at a store
and decided to try it out.
**[21:43] Renji**
Salty!
**[21:45] Lily**
Sour!
**[21:49] Lily**
How could he eat something like this?
**[21:49] Renji**
How could she eat something like this?

**[00:01] Sheryl**
Tanabata at the Game Center?
**[00:03] Lily**
Yeah!
**[00:04] Lily**
That game center gets a lot of kids, so they
set up a special display and stuff for it.
**[00:09] Sheryl**
Hmm. But do you actually know
what Tanabata is, Lily?
**[00:13] Lily**
Of course I do!
**[00:15] Lily**
It's the only day of the year that Orihime
and Hikoboshi get to see each other!
**[00:18] Lily**
It's so romantic!
**[00:20] Sheryl**
Hey, settle down! You don't
want to break the plate.
**[00:23] Lily**
In honor of that, you write a wish about
the person you like on a tanzaku paper strip.
**[00:28] Sheryl**
Oh, of course.
**[00:30] Sheryl**
But for now, let's just wash the dishes.
**[00:33] Sheryl**
*Hmm? A wish about the person you like?*
**[00:37] Sheryl**
* Is that really what you do*
* for Tanabata in Japan?*
**[00:47] Lily**
* I thought tanzaku weren't supposed*
* to be so easy for people to see.*
**[00:52] Lily**
* I guess Japanese people*
* must be really brave.*
**[00:55] Aoi**
Hmm? What's up, Lily-chan?
**[00:58] Lily**
Oh!
**[00:59] Lily**
Um, what did you guys write on your tanzaku?
**[01:05] Aoi**
Well, it's a little embarrassing, but...
**[01:07] Lily**
Huh?
***SIGN*** I wish that they'd
buy me a new cell phone
**[01:10] Aoi**
I wrote something really practical.
**[01:15] Aoi**
What did you write, Kaga-san?
***SIGN*** Become a
pro gamer
**[01:18] Aoi**
A pro gamer?!
**[01:20] Aoi**
Are you *that* serious about it?!
**[01:23] Karin**
So what if I am?
**[01:25] Hotaru**
I wished for something that would
benefit the entire planet.
***SIGN*** I wish for
world peace
**[01:31] Hotaru**
A fitting wish for a class president.
**[01:36] Aoi**
So what did you write, Lily-chan?
**[01:40] Lily**
W-Well I...
**[01:47] Renji**
Oh. What the?
**[01:50] Renji**
I guess someone's tanzaku fell off.
**[01:54] Renji**
Huh?!
***SIGN*** I wish to be
with Renji forever
**[01:56] Renji**
Th-This must be...
**[02:02] Lily**
D-Did you look?
**[02:04] Renji**
Uh... Um...
**[02:07] Lily**
Renji, you dummy!
**[02:09] Renji**
Wait! Lily-chan!
**[02:11] Narrator**
*But at any rate, it is now summer!*
**[03:49] Narrator**
*It is now late July...*
**[03:54] Narrator**
*and time for a long-awaited summer vacation!*
***SIGN*** Games, Print Club, Prizes,
Medal Games, Cosplay, etc...
**[04:04] Narrator**
* It's the first day of summer vacation*
* and the game center is, yet again,*
**[04:09] Narrator**
* bustling with kids who*
* love their video games!*
**[04:14] Aoi**
Even during summer vacation, I just want
to hang out at the game center, you know?
**[04:19] Lily**
What should we play first?
**[04:21] Momoko**
Oh, it's you two!
**[04:24] Momoko**
Welcome!
**[04:26] Aoi; Lily**
Huh?!
**[04:28] Renji**
Oh, nice to see you two.
**[04:31] Renji**
I guess it is summer vacation.
Enjoy yourselves, okay?
**[04:34] Part-timer A**
Mochizuki-san, if there's anything at all
you aren't sure about, feel free to ask.
**[04:38] Part-timer B**
No need to be shy, okay?
**[04:41] Momoko**
Okay! Thank you very much!
**[04:43] Part-timers**
So cute!
**[04:49] Aoi**
Hey, Renji!
**[04:51] Aoi**
Why the heck is *she* working here?!
**[04:54] Renji**
Huh? It's simple.
**[04:57] Renji**
She was looking for a job near
campus with flexible hours.
**[05:01] Renji**
She asked me about this job
and I suggested she apply.
**[05:04] Aoi**
My idiot brother!
**[05:06] Renji**
Why the name-calling?!
**[05:08] Aoi**
'Cause you're a total blockhead!
**[05:10] Aoi**
*Not good!*
**[05:12] Aoi**
* She's already the top candidate*
* to become Lily's rival in love,*
**[05:17] Aoi**
* but going to the same college and job as*
* Renji gives her a massive advantage.*
**[05:23] Lily**
I want to work here too.
**[05:25] Aoi**
What are you talking about?!
**[05:27] Aoi**
You can't get a job when
you're still in middle school!
**[05:29] Lily**
But!
**[05:30] Aoi**
No! No buts!
**[05:34] Momoko**
* I'm so impressed that she*
* can understand English!*
**[05:38] Momoko**
* As a college student, I really*
* need to study harder!*
**[05:42] Customer**
Um, can I get some help?
**[05:44] Renji**
Yes! Coming!
**[05:45] Renji**
Mochizuki-san, can you handle things here?
**[05:48] Momoko**
Sure!
**[05:50] Aoi**
R-Renji?
**[05:56] Aoi**
* A big cat fight could*
* break out at any moment!*
**[06:00] Momoko**
* I've got to be able to*
* communicate with her!*
**[06:04] Momoko**
Oh? Huh?
***SIGN*** Wipe...
**[06:08] Lily**
This isn't clean.
**[06:11] Aoi**
Th-The rude mother-in-law act?
**[06:12] Momoko**
Ah! I-I'm very sorry!
**[06:15] Momoko**
I'll clean it right away!
**[06:17] Lily**
Here too.
**[06:18] Momoko**
Ah! Right!
**[06:19] Lily**
Here too!
**[06:21] Momoko**
Understood, Senpai!
**[06:23] Aoi**
She ain't your senpai!
**[06:32] Lily**
I'm gonna help!
**[06:34] Momoko**
Huh?
**[06:35] Aoi**
She's at it again!
**[06:37] Momoko**
I-I'll try to clean harder!
**[06:41] Lily**
I've got to beat Momoko!
**[06:50] Lily**
You do quite good work.
**[06:53] Lily**
I'll permit you to work here!
**[06:55] Momoko**
Th-Thank you very much.
**[06:58] Aoi**
*She's totally playing the senpai.*
**[07:00] Renji**
Whoa, look at this! It's sparkling clean!
**[07:04] Aoi**
R-Renji?
**[07:06] Renji**
When you get a free moment,
you dive straight into cleaning.
**[07:09] Renji**
First day and you already know the deal.
I can tell you'll do a great job!
**[07:14] Momoko**
Thank you, Kusakabe-kun!
**[07:18] Lily**
Renji!
**[07:19] Lily**
Praise me too!
**[07:20] Renji**
Huh? Why?
**[07:22] Momoko**
Thank you very much!
**[07:24] Momoko**
This was all thanks to your input, Senpai!
**[07:26] Lily**
Mm-hmm.
**[07:28] Renji**
What just happened?
**[07:35] Aoi**
Wow, there are so many kids!
**[07:38] Aoi**
I wonder what they're here to play.
**[07:40] Part-timer A**
Oh, it's gotta be Nidan.
**[07:43] Lily**
Nidan?
**[07:44] Part-timer B**
Yeah. Nidan is basically...
**[07:46] Girl A**
What? You've never heard of Nidan?
**[07:50] Girl A; Girl B**
It's *Nice Girl Dancing*!
**[07:52] Girl B**
Nidan for short!
**[07:54] Girl A**
It's a rhythm game you play by using
your own cards to build your outfit
**[07:58] Girl A**
and all the girls love it!
**[08:01] Aoi**
Well, maybe they love it, but you're
talking about *little* girls, right?
**[08:05] Aoi**
We're both in middle school,
so this is kinda...
**[08:09] Aoi**
Oh. Huh?
**[08:12] Aoi**
What?! She's already in line!
**[08:15] Nana**
Do you want to go next?
**[08:17] Lily**
Mm-hmm!
***SIGN*** Nice Girl
Dancing
**[08:24] Lily**
What do I do with this?
**[08:25] Aoi**
Huh? Well, I've never played
this before either.
**[08:29] Nana**
First, you gotta scan the card.
**[08:31] Nana**
Is this your first time playing?
**[08:34] Lily**
Yeah, it is.
**[08:36] Nana**
Well, I guess it's your lucky day.
**[08:38] Nana**
I'll lend you my most powerful outfit.
**[08:41] Lily**
Whoa!
**[08:43] Part-timer A; Part-timer B**
A... baby girl senpai?
**[08:48] Nana**
You gotta push the button
in time with the music.
**[08:51] Lily**
O-Okay!
**[08:53] Nana**
Not like that! Oh! R-Right there!
You gotta get the special pose!
**[08:58] Lily**
S-Special?
**[09:00] Aoi**
I forgot that Lily-chan
sucks at rhythm games.
***SIGN*** Event Failed...
***SIGN*** Event Failed...
**[09:04] Nana**
Ah! Too bad!
**[09:09] Nana**
Oh well.
**[09:11] Nana**
Guess I can let you go one more time.
**[09:14] Nana**
I'll watch over you until you can clear it.
**[09:17] Nana**
It's my job as your senpai.
**[09:20] Lily**
S-Senpai!
**[09:23] Nana**
Anyway, put in your token and take the card.
**[09:26] Lily**
Okay!
***SIGN*** Nice Girl
Dancing
**[09:32] Lily**
Oh!
**[09:33] Lily**
Otokogi Koala?
**[09:35] Nana**
Th-That card gets you a limited
*Otokogi Koala* collaboration accessory!
**[09:40] Aoi**
This koala keeps popping
up everywhere, doesn't he?
**[09:43] Nana**
All right. If you use that along with
my koala outfit, you'll be unstoppable!
**[09:49] Lily**
Really?!
**[09:53] Lily**
S-So cute!
**[10:05] Nana**
You're playing totally different now!
**[10:07] Nana**
You've already improved that much?
**[10:09] Aoi**
It's the power of Otokogi Koala!
**[10:13] Nana**
You even nailed the special pose!
**[10:16] Lily**
All right!
**[10:18] Nana**
Wow, you beat it with a great score!
**[10:21] Nana**
Nice job!
**[10:22] Lily**
Thank you, Senpai!
**[10:23] Aoi**
That was awesome, Lily-chan!
**[10:27] Nana**
You're so lucky.
**[10:29] Nana**
I don't have that accessory so I've
never used my koala outfit before.
**[10:36] Lily**
Here.
**[10:38] Nana**
Huh?
**[10:39] Lily**
You can have the card.
**[10:41] Lily**
As thanks for today.
**[10:43] Nana**
Huh? You're giving it to me?!
**[10:45] Lily**
Yeah. Because I'm a big girl.
**[10:50] Nana**
I'll go ask my mom if it's okay!
**[10:54] Aoi**
She looks so happy!
**[10:56] Aoi**
That really was big of you, Lily-chan.
**[10:59] Aoi**
I bet you wanted to keep it.
**[11:04] Aoi**
She's lining up to try to get another one!
**[11:13] Sheryl**
Oh, Lily! I thought I'd find you here.
**[11:16] Lily**
Huh?
**[11:18] Lily**
Mama!
**[11:19] Aoi**
Mrs. Baker?
**[11:20] Sheryl**
I thought I'd drop in
while I was out shopping.
**[11:23] Sheryl**
I've always wanted to try
some of the games here.
**[11:29] Sheryl**
Oh no!
**[11:30] Sheryl**
Just how do these things
go in? I don't get it!
**[11:34] Lily**
Mom, you can do it!
**[11:36] Sheryl**
No, I can't! I don't know what to do!
**[11:38] Renji**
In terms of gaming skills...
**[11:39] Lily**
You've got to press these buttons!
**[11:40] Aoi**
Lily sure takes after her mother, right?
**[11:40] Sheryl**
What?
**[11:43] Sheryl**
Maybe games just aren't fun for people
like me who aren't mechanically inclined.
**[11:49] Momoko**
Not to worry.
**[11:50] Sheryl**
Huh?
**[11:52] Momoko**
Even if you don't play games,
**[11:54] Momoko**
there are many fun things to do here.
**[11:59] Sheryl**
Huh. I didn't realize you had
even more games downstairs.
**[12:03] Lily**
Like print club!
**[12:04] Lily**
I took one recently with
Aoi and everyone, right?
**[12:07] Aoi**
Yeah! That was fun.
**[12:09] Renji**
Oh, yeah. Print club should be fun
even if you aren't great at games.
**[12:13] Momoko**
Yes!
**[12:14] Momoko**
We also have clothes
available to use for cosplay.
**[12:18] Sheryl**
But isn't that more for younger girls?
**[12:22] Sheryl**
I'm not so sure about dressing up at my age.
**[12:25] Momoko**
Oh, it's fine!
**[12:27] Momoko**
Students often come to
take pictures with their mothers.
**[12:31] Momoko**
There's nothing strange about it at all!
**[12:33] Momoko**
A picture together in costume
makes a lovely keepsake!
**[12:36] Sheryl**
Really? Well, I suppose I
could give it a try then.
**[12:40] Momoko**
Yes, please do!
**[12:43] Renji**
* I never see Mochizuki-san get this aggressive*
* and it's still only her first day at work.*
**[12:49] Lily**
Let's take one together, Mama.
**[12:53] Sheryl**
H-How do we look?
***SIGN*** The Cutting Edge

***SIGN*** Adult and Cute
***SIGN*** Highlight

**[12:56] Aoi**
You both look good in those!
***SIGN*** The Cutting Edge

**[12:58] Momoko**
Wow, that's so great! Qipao family photo!
**[13:00] Momoko**
Could I ask you to, you know,
do more of a kung fu-like pose?
**[13:05] Sheryl**
L-Like this?
**[13:07] Momoko**
Ah! Yes! Very, very *yes*!
**[13:11] Momoko**
Let's start taking pictures
without wasting another second!
**[13:15] Momoko**
Come on! Come on!
**[13:16] Renji**
*That triggered something weird inside her!*
**[13:19] Print Club Machine**
Okay, here we go! Three, two, one!
**[13:33] Sheryl**
We sure took a bunch.
**[13:38] Momoko**
Oh, I'm really, really sorry!
**[13:41] Momoko**
I just love cosplay so much!
**[13:43] Momoko**
When I see someone dressed up just right,
I tend to take leave of my senses!
**[13:47] Renji**
*I guess that explains it.*
**[13:49] Sheryl**
It's fine, it's fine!
**[13:51] Sheryl**
We got some lovely keepsakes
from it, just as you said.
**[13:55] Sheryl**
Besides, I finally understand
why you love arcades so much!
**[14:00] Lily**
Aren't they great?
**[14:03] Momoko**
I'm so glad to hear that!
**[14:06] Aoi**
Hey, let's take one too!
**[14:10] Renji**
Some other time.
***SIGN*** Games, Print Club, Prizes,
Medal Games, Cosplay, etc...
**[14:13] Sheryl**
I'll stop by again sometime.
**[14:15] Momoko**
Thank you for coming!
**[14:23] Oliver**
What are these pictures from?
**[14:25] Sheryl**
Oh, those? I went to the
game center with Lily today and...
**[14:31] Oliver**
You forced my wife and daughter
into these indecent costumes?!
**[14:35] Oliver**
You little bastard!
**[14:40] Oliver**
Why...
**[14:43] Oliver**
Why didn't you invite me
to come along, Mother?!
**[14:47] Sheryl**
*That's* why you're upset?!
**[14:49] Sheryl**
There, there. Cheer up.
**[14:52] Sheryl**
We'll all take one together next time.
**[14:56] Oliver**
Mm-hmm.
**[15:10] Narrator**
* Yet again, the game center is bustling*
* with the usual game-loving customers.*
**[15:15] Narrator**
* However, from time to time, the arcade gets*
* visitors who are just a little different.*
**[15:21] Jody**
Excuse me!
**[15:22] Momoko**
Oh, yes?
**[15:24] Jody**
I want to ask you something.
Do you have a minute?
**[15:29] Momoko**
*Oh! She's a foreigner!*
**[15:31] Momoko**
*I-I have to make her feel welcome!*
**[15:34] Momoko**
H-Hello.
**[15:36] Momoko**
M-M-May I...
**[15:38] Jody**
Huh?
**[15:39] Momoko**
Um... Um...
**[15:42] Renji**
Mochizuki-san, just let me handle this.
**[15:44] Momoko**
Kusakabe-kun!
**[15:47] Renji**
*You got this.*
**[15:48] Renji**
* Don't you always communicate*
* with Lily-chan just fine?*
**[15:51] Renji**
Um, may I help you?
**[15:55] Jody**
I'm here from Australia and my
brother asked me to get some goods
**[15:59] Jody**
of the most popular character in Japan.
**[16:01] Jody**
Do you know which character that might be?
**[16:03] Jody**
If you could help me out,
that would be great.
**[16:07] Renji**
*Uh, what?*
**[16:08] Renji**
C-Could you wait just one moment, please?
**[16:12] Renji**
*That was way too fast for me to understand.*
**[16:14] Renji**
* I never have this much trouble understanding*
* what Lily-chan says, though.*
**[16:18] Lily**
What's wrong, Renji?
**[16:20] Momoko**
Lily-chan!
**[16:22] Renji**
Well... I'm having trouble
understanding a customer's English.
**[16:26] Lily**
Oh, is that all? I'll handle it.
**[16:30] Lily**
Excuse me. What's the matter?
**[16:33] Jody**
Yeah, you see...
**[16:35] Jody**
I'm on holiday from Australia
**[16:37] Jody**
and my little brother asked me
to bring back something
**[16:39] Jody**
with the most popular character in Japan
**[16:41] Jody**
and I want you guys to help me out with that.
**[16:44] Lily**
Got it!
**[16:45] Lily**
I think you'll definitely find something!
**[16:47] Lily**
There are just so many
characters to choose from.
**[16:47] Renji**
*Thank goodness!*
**[16:49] Jody**
Really?
**[16:49] Karin**
Holy cow, she's talking in English.
**[16:50] Lily**
If you want, I can help you look.
**[16:52] Hotaru**
Well of course she is. Lily-san
is from England, after all.
**[16:52] Jody**
Thank you. That would be a
huge help! I'm Jody, by the way.
**[16:56] Lily**
I'm Lily Baker.
**[16:56] Aoi**
Yeah, no kidding.
**[16:57] Jody**
Nice to meet you, Lily!
**[16:58] Aoi**
But I'm so used to talking to her now,
**[17:00] Aoi**
I guess I kinda forgot.
**[17:03] Renji**
*I guess I did too.*
**[17:04] Renji**
* Lily-chan is really expressive and she*
* communicates with gestures a lot.*
**[17:10] Renji**
* She also takes care not to use*
* too many big words with me.*
**[17:16] Renji**
* And recently, she's been speaking*
* more and more in Japanese.*
**[17:20] Lily**
I figured it out, Renji!
**[17:22] Lily**
This here is Jody-san.
**[17:24] Lily**
She says she came from Australia.
**[17:26] Lily**
She wants to know what kind of character
merch is popular in Japan right now.
**[17:30] Renji**
Oh, of course. Character merch, huh.
**[17:33] Karin**
That's easy.
**[17:35] Karin**
It's totally fighting game characters!
**[17:39] Jody**
Oh, fantastic!
**[17:41] Karin**
Right? I've devoted my life to this thing.
**[17:45] Karin**
Okay man, time to see what you got!
**[17:48] Renji**
I'm on the clock!
**[17:50] Aoi**
If you're looking for popular characters,
**[17:53] Aoi**
check out Nidan!
**[17:55] Lily**
Didn't you say that one's for *little* girls?
**[17:58] Aoi**
I got curious after I saw you
playing it yesterday, Lily-chan.
**[18:03] Karin**
Yeah, but...
**[18:05] Karin**
it's kinda crowded right now.
**[18:10] Hotaru**
I would strongly recommend a quiz game.
**[18:13] Hotaru**
It requires more than knowledge.
**[18:15] Hotaru**
It requires team play and razor-sharp reflexes.
**[18:18] Hotaru**
It is the ultimate kind of game!
**[18:20] Jody**
Oh!
**[18:21] Aoi**
It might be the ultimate, but quiz games are
in Japanese so would she really understand?
**[18:27] Karin**
Yeah, and they aren't
about characters anyway.
**[18:31] Lily**
In that case...
**[18:35] Lily**
Otokogi Koala is our only choice!
**[18:37] Renji**
*Of course.*
**[18:39] Jody**
Lovely!
**[18:41] Lily**
Jody-san is Australian, so I
bet she's really into koalas.
**[18:46] Renji**
N-Now that you mention it...
**[18:49] Renji**
*Wait...*
**[18:50] Renji**
* Is that why Lily-chan*
* picked Otokogi Koala?*
**[18:54] Lily**
And when this Mr. Koala wears sunglasses,
then his otokogi mode starts!
**[19:01] Renji**
*Nah, I kind of doubt it.*
**[19:03] Aoi; Hotaru; Karin**
Mm-hmm.
**[19:07] Jody**
You really like this character, huh.
**[19:11] Lily**
Yup! I adore him!
**[19:14] Jody**
Then I think he'll do.
**[19:17] Jody**
I really have no idea
how to get him, though.
**[19:21] Lily**
Leave it to me!
**[19:23] Aoi; Hotaru; Karin; Renji**
Whoa!
**[19:28] Lily**
Honestly, I just can't seem to move him!
**[19:31] Lily**
Jody, I'm so sorry!
**[19:34] Jody**
Well, it does seem hard...
**[19:37] Lily**
I'll keep trying!
**[19:40] Karin**
Man, this hurts to watch.
**[19:42] Aoi**
Maybe we should help her.
**[19:45] Aoi**
Hmm?
**[19:47] Renji**
Piled up like this, it might
be better to aim for the back.
**[19:51] Lily**
Oh, you're right!
**[19:53] Lily**
Then I guess I should go for that one there.
**[19:55] Renji**
Yeah, yeah. That guy is your target.
***SIGN*** Chivalry
**[20:08] Lily**
I got him!
**[20:10] Aoi**
Nice job, Lily-chan!
**[20:12] Karin**
Finally got him, huh.
**[20:14] Hotaru**
I knew you would!
**[20:16] Hotaru**
Today you have taught me how truly
important it is to never give up.
**[20:20] Lily**
Here.
**[20:21] Jody**
Thank you!
**[20:26] Jody**
You fancy him, don't you?
**[20:29] Lily**
Wh-What? Um...
**[20:34] Jody**
I can give you advice, if you'd like.
**[20:37] Lily**
R-Really?!
**[20:39] Jody**
Yeah, sure.
**[20:40] Jody**
What have you been doing lately
to get closer to him?
**[20:40] Renji**
*I wonder what they're talking about.*
**[20:42] Lily**
I've been writing him letters.
**[20:43] Hotaru**
I clearly need to put more effort
into my English studies.

Who will dominate as the

**[00:23] Part-timer A**
Let's find out! Time for the qualifiers!
***SIGN*** Otokogi Koala Fighters!!!
**[00:29] Aoi**
You okay? You sure you
aren't nervous, Lily-chan?
**[00:34] Lily**
N-No...
**[00:35] Aoi**
Your teeth are chattering like crazy!
**[00:37] Aoi**
C-Calm down and take a deep breath, okay?
**[00:42] Aoi**
Are you nervous too, Kaga-san?
**[00:45] Aoi**
Kaga-san?
**[00:46] Karin**
Hmm?
**[00:47] Aoi**
You okay? You spaced out.
**[00:50] Karin**
Ah...
**[00:53] Karin**
It's all good. Let's just have fun, man.
**[00:58] Aoi**
Sure thing!
**[01:00] Part-timer B**
Players in Block A, please
move to the designated area.
**[01:04] Aoi**
We'd better get going too.
**[01:06] Lily**
L-Let's go for it!
**[01:07] Karin**
Yeah. Catch you later then.
**[01:11] Karin**
*I promise I'm gonna win it all!*
**[02:47] Part-timer B**
Players in Block A, this way please.
**[02:51] Aoi**
Um, A-3 should be...
**[02:54] Gamer A**
Hey, did you hear?
**[02:55] Gamer A**
Some famous gamers from other regions
are playing in this tournament.
**[02:59] Gamer B**
I heard. I'm itching to take them on.
**[03:02] Aoi**
*I wonder what kind of opponent I'll get.*
**[03:05] Lily**
Huh?
**[03:06] Aoi**
L-Lily-chan?!
**[03:08] Aoi**
How could I have ended up with
Lily-chan for my first match?
**[03:13] Aoi**
* I know how hard she's practiced*
* to prepare for this,*
**[03:17] Aoi**
*and I actually only signed up
to be here as moral support.*
**[03:21] Aoi**
* What now? I doubt Lily-chan would*
* be happy if I went easy on her...*
**[03:27] Aoi**
* Yeah, I guess in a situation like*
* this, I should just go for it.*
**[03:32] Aoi**
*That's what friends are for!*
**[03:34] Part-timer A**
And now, the first match of Block A begins!
**[03:40] Game**
*K.O.*
**[03:45] Aoi**
Lily-chan...
**[03:46] Lily**
Good luck, Aoi.
**[03:48] Part-timer B**
This way, please.
**[03:50] Aoi**
*This weighs on my heart.*
**[03:52] Otokogi Koala**
* The OKF elimination*
* tournament is underway!*
**[03:56] Otokogi Koala**
* The battles between gamers are*
* becoming more intense by the round.*
**[04:01] Part-timer A**
Two of the most promising players
in Block B are finally facing off!
**[04:06] Part-timer A**
It's Megane-senpai versus Data!
**[04:09] Glasses Guy**
Very glad to meet you.
**[04:11] Data**
I've got all the data I need about you.
**[04:13] Data**
There's a 99.9 percent chance of me winning.
**[04:17] Glasses Guy**
Fighting games aren't only about the data.
**[04:19] Data**
Fighting games are 97.6
percent likely to be about the data.
**[04:24] Part-timer A**
What's this? Do I notice a
clash of personalities here?
**[04:26] Part-timer A**
It's a battle of who fidgets
with their glasses better!
**[04:30] Part-timer A**
Let's turn to our commentator, Kusakabe-san.
What's your take on this fight?
**[04:33] Renji**
In terms of speed, their
glasses-adjusting is neck and neck.
**[04:37] Renji**
I think we're in for a very heated battle.
**[04:39] Part-timer A**
In other words, it's impossible to
know which way this one is gonna go.
**[04:43] Part-timer A**
It ought to be an exciting fight!
**[04:45] Part-timer A**
Well then, let's begin the
third match of Block B!
**[04:51] Data**
I can't keep up with him!
**[04:54] Data**
I-I didn't have any data on this!
**[04:56] Glasses Guy**
Like I said, fighting games
aren't only about the data!
**[05:00] Game**
*K.O.*
**[05:01] Data**
Impossible!
**[05:03] Part-timer A**
Megane-senpai takes the win!
**[05:06] Glasses Guy**
Whew. That was a close one.
**[05:09] KSK**
Looks like Data's been taken out.
**[05:11] Kokujin**
Huh. Among us Four Heavenly Kings of
fighting games, he was by far the strongest.
**[05:17] Aru**
Looks like this tournament
has some heavy hitters.
**[05:19] KSK**
We're gonna have to pull out all the stops.
**[05:22] Glasses Guy**
* There sure are some peculiar*
* characters here today.*
**[05:26] Aoi**
*I managed to make it this far, but...*
**[05:30] Aoi**
*H-He looks tough!*
**[05:32] Part-timer A**
Now for the third match of Block A.
This is another one you don't wanna miss!
**[05:37] Part-timer A**
It's Rainy with a Chance
of Sunshine versus Aoi!
**[05:42] Aoi**
*Everyone's paying attention!*
**[05:45] Part-timer A**
How do you read this match-up, then?
**[05:47] Renji**
Hmm. Rainy with a Chance of Sunshine
is a very experienced gamer.
**[05:51] Renji**
Aoi is gonna have to somehow
overcome her lack of experience
**[05:55] Renji**
if she wants any chance at a win.
**[05:58] Aoi**
*That's easy for you to say!*
**[06:00] Rainy with a Chance of Sunshine**
Nice to meet you.
**[06:02] Aoi**
N-Nice to meet you too.
**[06:04] Aoi**
* I oughta make my win against Lily-chan*
* count for something, I guess.*
**[06:08] Part-timer A**
Now for the third match of Block A. Begin!
**[06:12] Game**
*K.O.*
**[06:13] Aoi**
*Ugh. I didn't stand a chance.*
**[06:16] Rainy with a Chance of Sunshine**
Hey, miss.
**[06:18] Rainy with a Chance of Sunshine**
That was a great match!
You are definitely sunny!
**[06:21] Part-timer A**
What's this?! A sunny weather forecast!

*What's that all about?*

Seriously, what does that even mean?
**[06:41] Otokogi Koala**
* As such, many battles were fought and the*
* qualifiers started to wind down.*
**[06:47] Part-timer A**
It's the final round of Block D.
**[06:49] Part-timer A**
Who is going to win a ticket
to the tournament finals?
**[06:53] Part-timer A**
On one side, a talented player who hasn't
let a single opponent touch her yet, Karin!
**[06:58] Lily**
Master! Good luck!
**[07:00] Part-timer A**
She's facing the mega-powerful gamer from
out of town who sees all through his blindfold,
**[07:06] Part-timer A**
it's The Blindfold!
**[07:09] Part-timer A**
Now this is an interesting card.
**[07:12] Part-timer A**
How do you think things will
turn out, Kusakabe-san?
**[07:14] Renji**
I'm curious to see if The Blindfold will be
able to see through Karin's complex attacks.
**[07:19] Part-timer A**
I see. And according to the info I
have, The Blindfold has 20/10 vision!
**[07:25] Part-timer A**
Let's see how far his insight gets him!
**[07:27] The Blindfold**
That ticket to the finals is mine.
**[07:30] The Blindfold**
I'm, like, way good.
**[07:32] Lily**
Master, don't let that jerk beat you!
**[07:37] Part-timer A**
And now, the final match of Block D. Start!
**[07:43] Game**
*K.O.*
**[07:44] Part-timer A**
And it's Karin for the win!
**[07:48] The Blindfold**
I couldn't... see her moves coming.
**[07:50] Renji**
Even The Blindfold couldn't keep his
eye on Karin's attacks, could he?
**[07:57] Karin**
Yeah, 'cause he's got 'em both covered up!
**[07:59] Lily**
Congratulations, Master!
**[08:01] Aoi**
Wow, you get to go on to the finals!
**[08:03] Karin**
None of this matters if
I don't take the win.
**[08:05] Karin**
But...
**[08:07] Part-timer A**
Block A is now over!
**[08:13] Part-timer A**
And, unbelievably, Rainy with a Chance
of Sunshine has been defeated!
**[08:16] Karin**
It doesn't look like the finals
are gonna be a cakewalk.
**[08:23] Aoi**
Well, we didn't make it to the finals, but
this kind of event is still fun, isn't it?
**[08:29] Aoi**
I got so excited!
**[08:30] Lily**
I had fun!
**[08:31] Aoi**
Let's practice hard and
sign up again next time, okay?
**[08:35] Lily**
Mm-hmm.
**[08:36] Aoi**
* I hope I don't have to fight*
* Lily-chan next time.*
**[08:40] Aoi**
Now we just gotta cheer on Kaga-san.
**[08:42] Lily**
Where is Master now, anyway?
**[08:43] Aoi**
Huh?
**[08:44] Aoi**
She must've gone off somewhere.
**[08:49] Renji**
You want *me* to play in the OKF tournament?!
**[08:52] Karin**
Yeah. What better time is there for a fight?
**[08:56] Renji**
I'm really sorry, but employees
aren't allowed to participate.
**[09:00] Karin**
You tryna say we lower levels
aren't even worth your time?
**[09:03] Renji**
Err, no, that's not what I mean.
**[09:05] Karin**
Then how about this? If I win the
tournament, you finally let me fight you.
**[09:12] Renji**
Why are you so intent on fighting me anyway?
**[09:14] Karin**
I got this feeling I'm gonna hit my ceiling
and burn out if I can't at least beat you.
**[09:20] Karin**
So please. I mean it. I'm begging you.
**[09:23] Renji**
Huh? Hey, please quit begging!
**[09:26] Karin**
Not until you give the okay, man!
**[09:28] Renji**
Ahh, okay, fine! I'll play you if you win.
**[09:32] Karin**
That's a promise, man.
**[09:36] Karin**
*I'm gonna win that tournament. And then...*
**[09:40] Karin**
*I'll show Renji I can kick his butt!*
**[09:43] Part-timer A**
All right, let's take a brief intermission
before the tournament finals.
**[09:56] Part-timer A**
And now it's time for the finals to begin!
***SIGN*** Otokogi Koala Fighters!!!
**[10:01] Part-timer A**
First, let's introduce the
participating fighters.
**[10:04] Part-timer A**
He can dish out constantly perfect combos
without even flinching. It's Megane!
**[10:09] Part-timer A**
Your glasses keep slipping off.
You sure they're the right size for you?
**[10:13] Glasses Guy**
I just do this out of habit.
**[10:15] Part-timer A**
Behind the cheap exterior
hides a fierce fighter
**[10:18] Part-timer A**
who keeps catching the shooting
star of victory. It's Kouhai!
**[10:21] Brown-Haired Guy**
Huh?
**[10:22] Part-timer A**
Will he be able to turn the tables
on his senpai and mentor, Megane?
**[10:27] Brown-Haired Guy**
My gamer name is Kouhai? Really?
**[10:29] Part-timer A**
The middle schooler whose upper-level
skills let her dominate all other players,
**[10:33] Part-timer A**
and an audience favorite. Karin!
**[10:36] Lily**
Good luck, Master!
**[10:39] Part-timer A**
Finally, the dark horse of the tournament.
**[10:42] Part-timer A**
A new gamer who's only been playing a month,
**[10:45] Part-timer A**
who just completed her training
period working here. It's Momoko!
**[10:51] The Blindfold**
Huh? Her?
**[10:54] Aoi**
She actually beat those guys?
**[10:56] Karin**
Hey! You said employees weren't
allowed to participate!
**[11:00] Renji**
Momoko isn't actually on the clock today.
**[11:03] Karin**
What kind of excuse is that?
**[11:05] Momoko**
U-Um...
**[11:07] Momoko**
I'll try to play my best,
so let's have a good time!
**[11:11] Karin**
Oh. Yeah.
**[11:13] Karin**
* How the heck did this chick*
* get to the finals?*
**[11:15] Karin**
*She doesn't look tough at all.*
**[11:18] Part-timer A**
And now we'll announce the pairings
for the tournament finals!
**[11:22] Part-timer A**
Karin versus Kouhai!
**[11:25] Brown-Haired Guy**
I'll show you what I really got.
**[11:28] Part-timer A**
Momoko versus Megane!
**[11:31] Momoko**
I very much look forward to it.
**[11:33] Part-timer A**
Now onto the tournament finals! Let's begin!
**[11:39] Game**
*K.O.*
**[11:41] Part-timer A**
We have a winner and it's Karin!
**[11:45] Brown-Haired Guy**
I was insta-killed.
**[11:50] Karin**
And that's that.
**[11:51] Karin**
*But how's it going over there?*
**[11:57] Data**
There is quite a significant gap
in their experience levels.
**[12:01] Data**
Megane has a 99.9 percent chance to win.
**[12:04] The Blindfold**
Under most circumstances, I would agree.
**[12:07] Rainy with a Chance of Sunshine**
We'll soon find out if it's rain or shine.
**[12:09] Aoi**
These guys sure are unique.
**[12:11] Part-timer A**
Time for the match to start!
**[12:18] Game**
*K.O.*
**[12:20] Part-timer A**
The winner is Momoko!
**[12:23] Data**
Impossible! That's not what the data says!
**[12:26] The Blindfold**
I couldn't see what the heck she was doing.
**[12:28] Rainy with a Chance of Sunshine**
She's just as sunny as I expected!
**[12:31] Glasses Guy**
Her mechanics are too high.
**[12:33] Lily**
Mechanics?
**[12:35] Otokogi Koala**
*Yes, what does that mean?*
***SIGN*** Mechanics
**[12:37] Otokogi Koala**
* Mechanics refers to reaction time,*
* manual dexterity, and mental fortitude,*
**[12:42] Otokogi Koala**
* and is a catchall term for*
* one's aptitude for gaming.*
**[12:46] Renji**
It's likely that her background
in kendo and physical fitness
**[12:49] Renji**
helped give her sharp intuition as a gamer.
**[12:54] Karin**
Huh. Ain't that somethin'.
**[12:56] Karin**
So you're gonna be my last opponent
before I get to fight Renji.
**[13:01] Momoko**
It'll be my pleasure.
**[13:03] Part-timer A**
And the final match is
between the two ladies!
**[13:06] Part-timer A**
Which one will come out on top?
**[13:10] Lily**
I wonder who I should root for.
**[13:12] Aoi**
Yeah, it's a tough call.
**[13:14] Part-timer A**
How do you expect this final
round to go, Kusakabe-san?
**[13:18] Renji**
They certainly are both
extremely talented players.
**[13:22] Renji**
I suppose it will boil down to which
one can control the pace of the match
**[13:25] Renji**
and take the lead in the fight.
**[13:29] Part-timer A**
I see. So it's a question of high-level
gameplay versus high-level human performance.
**[13:35] Part-timer A**
So let's get to the fight and see
who actually comes out on top!
**[13:40] Part-timer A**
And the final round starts!
**[13:43] Game**
*Round one!*
**[13:45] Karin**
*A Wanko player, huh.*
**[13:46] Karin**
* He's got good stats but*
* isn't very easy to control.*
**[13:50] Karin**
* She might be an intuitive gamer,*
* but I doubt she can pull off his combos.*
**[13:54] Karin**
* If I watch out for powerful attacks and*
* wait for the right time to counter,*
**[13:58] Karin**
*I've got nothing to fear.*
**[14:00] Game**
*Fight!*
**[14:02] Karin**
*And here's where I counter!*
**[14:05] Karin**
Wha?
**[14:08] Karin**
*She totally nailed that combo!*
**[14:11] Part-timer A**
Momoko has unleashed a torrent of attacks!
**[14:16] Game**
*K.O.*
**[14:19] Part-timer A**
Momoko has won the first round!
**[14:21] Aru**
She annihilated her with a super-hard combo!
**[14:24] Kokujin**
Has that girl really only been
playing games for a month?
**[14:28] Momoko**
* I was able to get it to*
* do what I practiced!*
**[14:31] Part-timer A**
Kusakabe-san, what do you think?
**[14:33] Renji**
It seems that Momoko saw through Karin's
attempt to wait for a chance to counter.
**[14:38] Renji**
The choice and precision of
her combos are outstanding!
**[14:42] Brown-Haired Guy**
I never expected this to be so one-sided.
**[14:45] Glasses Guy**
And she's still a total rookie!
**[14:47] Lily**
Is Master gonna win?
**[14:49] Aoi**
Gosh, I don't know.
**[14:51] Rainy with a Chance of Sunshine**
It's really still too early to say.
**[14:55] Data**
Momoko's moves have outperformed the data!
**[14:59] The Blindfold**
I'm the number one player in the next
town, and even I can't follow her moves.
**[15:03] Lily**
Is Master gonna lose?
**[15:06] Renji**
She's not done just yet.
**[15:09] Game**
*Round two!*
**[15:12] Game**
*Fight!*
**[15:12] Part-timer A**
Whoa! Karin has taken a completely
different approach and attacked head-on!
**[15:17] Part-timer A**
She's coming in strong!
**[15:19] Karin**
*That sure was dumb of me.*
**[15:21] Karin**
* It ain't my style to play it safe*
* and wait around for an opening.*
**[15:25] Karin**
*Attack, attack, attack, attack!*
**[15:29] Karin**
* Don't give her a chance to catch her breath!*
* Make the match go the way I want!*
**[15:33] Karin**
*And take her down!*
**[15:35] Karin**
*Now* this *is more like my style!*
**[15:37] Game**
*K.O.*
**[15:40] Part-timer A**
She stayed aggressive to
the end and secured a win!
**[15:44] Part-timer A**
Karin has shown the nobility of an empress!
**[15:47] Karin**
Why do I get such an embarrassing nickname?
**[15:50] Momoko**
Kaga-san is amazing.
**[15:52] Rainy with a Chance of Sunshine**
The sun has come out.
**[15:53] Brown-Haired Guy**
Did you see that?
**[15:55] Brown-Haired Guy**
She took the second round
like it was nothing!
**[15:57] Glasses Guy**
At this point I can't even
imagine how it's gonna end.
**[16:01] Renji**
Karin won the second round because she
went back to her typical fighting style.
**[16:06] Part-timer A**
Is that what it was?
**[16:07] Renji**
Yes. Karin always plays best with
a more aggressive fighting style.
**[16:12] Part-timer A**
No wonder.
**[16:14] Part-timer A**
And now the fighters have
each won one round.
**[16:17] Part-timer A**
Who is going to take the win?!
**[16:19] Game**
*Round three!*
**[16:21] Game**
*Fight!*
**[16:23] Kokujin**
Again?
**[16:25] Part-timer A**
Momoko counters!
**[16:27] Karin**
*She's already adapted?!*
**[16:33] Momoko**
No way!
**[16:34] Karin**
I guess not.
**[16:36] Part-timer A**
Renji-kun, isn't that...
**[16:38] Renji**
It's a feature.
**[16:39] Part-timer A**
exploiting a bug?
**[16:40] Renji**
It's a feature.
**[16:43] Game**
*K.O.*
**[16:55] Data**
The data does not support this.
**[16:57] Data**
It's impossible!
**[17:07] Part-timer A**
Well... let's continue the fight.
**[17:10] Game**
*Round four!*
**[17:12] Game**
*Fight!*
**[17:56] Game**
*Round nine! Final showdown!*
**[18:01] Game**
*Crouch!*
**[18:04] Game**
*Touch.*
**[18:06] Game**
*Pause.*
**[18:13] Game**
*Engage!*
**[19:46] Game**
*K.O.*
**[19:47] Part-timer A**
The game is over!
**[19:52] Part-timer A**
The winner of the final match
**[19:54] Part-timer A**
is Karin!
**[19:56] Brown-Haired Guy**
That was intense!
**[19:58] The Blindfold**
I never expected to find such clever,
skilled fighting gamers in this town.
**[20:02] Rainy with a Chance of Sunshine**
Clear skies ahead.
**[20:04] Lily**
You're amazing, Master!
**[20:06] Aoi**
Isn't she?
**[20:07] Momoko**
You sure are tough, Kaga-san. You win.
**[20:17] Kokujin**
Well, that was impressive.
**[20:19] KSK**
We'd better keep training.
**[20:21] Momoko**
Um, do you know where Kaga-san went?
**[20:24] Lily**
Oh, Momoko!
**[20:26] Aoi**
Kaga-san vanished as
soon as the tournament ended.
**[20:29] Momoko**
She did? I had really hoped
to speak with her afterwards.
**[20:38] Karin**
What's this room for?
**[20:40] Renji**
This room has cabinets for test playing.
**[20:43] Renji**
It's authorized access only.
**[20:47] Renji**
In other words, nobody will bother us here.
**[20:50] Karin**
Do you mean...
**[20:52] Renji**
Yeah. Congrats on your win!
**[20:54] Renji**
I'm keeping my promise.
**[20:56] Karin**
I finally get to play against you!
**[20:58] Renji**
Well, wanna get started?
**[21:06] Game**
*Round one.*
**[21:08] Game**
*Fight!*
**[21:12] Aoi**
Oh, Kaga-san!
**[21:13] Lily**
Master!
**[21:15] Aoi**
We thought you already went home.
**[21:17] Karin**
Sorry. I'm takin' off.
**[21:19] Aoi**
Oh. Okay...
**[21:27] Lily**
Master was crying.
**[21:29] Aoi**
Huh? Kaga-san was?
**[21:33] Lily**
I'm gonna take down whoever
made my master cry!
**[21:37] Aoi**
Yeah, I'm not sure about that.
**[21:41] Karin**
I'm gonna have to rethink all
the basic moves from step one.
**[21:45] Karin**
And the combos, and the blocks.
**[21:46] Karin**
Everything!
**[21:51] Karin**
Ah, damn it!
**[21:55] Karin**
I'm not gonna lose next time!
**[21:57] Otokogi Koala**

**[00:09] Lily**
Wow! That mountain is so big!
**[00:13] Aoi**
It really is! I wonder what it's called.
**[00:16] Hotaru**
That is Mt. Bandai.
**[00:18] Hotaru**
It's 1,816 meters tall and was chosen as
one of a hundred famous Japanese mountains.
**[00:25] Aoi**
Wow, Prez! You sure know your stuff.
**[00:27] Hotaru**
Actually, I just looked it up on my phone.
**[00:30] Lily**
Hey, Master! Take a look at the mountain.
**[00:33] Karin**
Shut up! I made it to a really
good part. Oh! Come on...
**[00:40] Kaede**
Our family vacation sure
is lively this year.
**[00:44] Renji**
You sure are easy-going, Mom.
**[00:47] Kaede**
You think so?
**[00:48] Lily**
What's that building over there?
**[00:50] Aoi**
Yeah, what a weird shape.
**[00:52] Lily**
What a weird shape!
**[02:35] (Flashback) Lily**
What?!
**[02:36] (Flashback) Lily**
You're both going away for a while?
**[02:39] (Flashback) Renji**
We always go to visit our grandma's
house around this time of year.
**[02:43] (Flashback) Aoi**
So we won't be able to hang out for a while.
**[02:46] (Flashback) Lily**
But...
**[02:48] (Flashback) Lily**
Oh well.
**[02:51] (Flashback) Aoi**
Hey, why don't you
come with us then, Lily-chan?
**[02:54] (Flashback) Renji**
Huh?
**[02:55] (Flashback) Lily**
Is that okay?
**[02:56] (Flashback) Renji**
What're you doing?!
**[02:57] (Flashback) Aoi**
It's like a vacation with friends anyway. As
long as we get her parents' permission, right?
**[03:02] (Flashback) Renji**
I... guess so?
**[03:05] Hotaru**
Thank you so much for
inviting us along as well.
**[03:11] Hotaru**
Hey, Kaga-san. Say thank you.
**[03:12] Karin**
Thanks.
**[03:13] Kaede**
Oh, don't worry about it.
**[03:15] Kaede**
In fact, you should be thanking
Lily-chan's mother instead.
**[03:19] (Flashback) Sheryl**
Okay!
***SIGN*** Okay!
**[03:20] Kaede**
As thanks for coming to the birthday party,
**[03:22] Kaede**
she talked to all of your parents
for me and saved me a lot of time.
**[03:25] Kaede**
It's always more fun when
there are more people anyway.
**[03:29] Lily**
I'm sad that some people
couldn't make it, though.
**[03:32] (Flashback) Glasses-chan**
Apologies! I am unable to go!
**[03:35] (Flashback) Bangs-chan**
I'm sorry!
**[03:36] Aoi**
We gotta have enough fun
for the both of them too!
**[03:39] Aoi**
Hey, Renji. This is our big vacation.
Can't you try to be a *little* more fun?
**[03:44] Renji**
More fun?
**[03:45] Karin**
Hey, bro. You aren't working now so we're
definitely gonna play once we get there.
**[03:49] Renji**
Yeah, right.
**[03:51] Renji**
*Ugh. I don't mind the trip itself,*
**[03:55] Renji**
* but I'm really worried that Lily's dad*
* might not know anything about it.*
**[03:59] Oliver**
Why didn't you tell me?!
**[04:12] Hotaru**
I've never ridden in a train this small.
**[04:16] Aoi**
Well, it is the countryside.
**[04:19] Lily**
Whoa...
**[04:39] Lily**
Deer! "Shika"! There's
some "shika" over there!
**[04:42] Aoi**
Hmm?
**[04:43] Aoi**
Oh. Yeah, they aren't really
afraid of people around here.
**[04:48] Hotaru**
Is that right?
**[04:49] Kaede**
Yeah. Sometimes they even
come right up to the house.
**[04:53] Kaede**
Sometimes even bears and such too.
**[04:55] Lily**
Bears?
**[04:57] Renji**
Oh... Don't worry about that, Lily-chan.
That sort of thing is really rare.
**[05:03] Announcement**
* This train will be making a temporary*
* stop at the next station*
**[05:06] Announcement**
*to allow the express train to pass.*
**[05:08] Announcement**
*We deeply apologize for the...*
**[05:17] Lily**
Oh...
**[05:19] Lily**
It's so strange that there's
a station out here.
**[05:29] Aoi**
Whoa!
**[05:31] Renji**
What?!
**[05:34] Karin**
Huh?
**[05:37] Renji**
Whoa! Awesome!
**[05:39] Karin**
The real thing!
**[05:40] Aoi**
Hey! Hey!
**[05:42] Hotaru**
Amazing! I've never seen one before!
**[05:45] Aoi**
It's my first time seeing one, too!
**[05:53] Hotaru**
Oh! Wait!
**[05:54] Aoi**
Whoa! Hurry up!
**[06:07] Renji**
Um, Lily-chan?
**[06:26] Lily**
Renji! The ocean, the ocean!
**[06:28] Renji**
That's right!
**[06:41] Karin**
Are we there yet?!
**[06:43] Hotaru**
Kaga-san...
**[06:44] Renji**
It took a while, but we're here.
**[06:49] Kaede**
We're home!
**[06:51] Kaede**
Mother? You around?
**[06:54] Lily**
Isn't it locked?
**[06:56] Renji**
No. Sometimes people in the
countryside don't lock their doors.
**[06:59] Renji**
But we're still welcome.
**[07:01] Karin**
In that case.
**[07:02] Hotaru**
Excuse me, please.
**[07:03] Grandma**
Yes, yes, yes, yes. What's all the ruckus?
**[07:07] Grandma**
Sounds like ya brought
the whole city with you.
**[07:10] Grandma**
Renzi and Aoi-chan, you've
both gotten so big!
**[07:14] Grandma**
Suppose I can move on to
the next world in peace.
**[07:17] Renji**
We just got here! Don't make it so gloomy!
**[07:19] Aoi**
You said the same thing
six months ago, Grandma.
**[07:22] Kaede**
Um, do ya mind?
**[07:24] Kaede**
Look, Mom. Aoi brought some friends along.
**[07:27] Lily**
Hello.
**[07:28] Karin**
Heya.
**[07:29] Hotaru**
Thank you for having us.
**[07:30] Grandma**
Well, would ya take a look at y'all,
just the purtiest lil' thangs!
**[07:33] Grandma**
Tokyo girls sure dress
up all flashy! Hoowee!
**[07:37] Hotaru**
Eh?
**[07:38] Karin**
Hmm?
**[07:38] Lily**
What.
**[07:39] Kaede**
She says you're all cute.
**[07:42] Lily**
What language is she speaking?
**[07:44] Renji**
Um...
**[07:46] Lily**
Oh. Grandma!
**[07:48] Grandma**
Hmm?
**[07:49] Lily**
Thank you very much for having us.
This isn't anything special, but...
**[07:55] Grandma**
Well bless your li'l heart.
**[07:58] Grandma**
Renzi, is this that foreigner girly
they said you been chattin' up?
**[08:04] Renji**
Is *that* what you heard?!
**[08:06] Grandma**
Sure is a catch, though.
**[08:08] Renji**
That's not what this is about!
**[08:10] Grandma**
Then what's it about?
**[08:11] Renji**
Well, it's hard to...
**[08:14] Grandma**
Well, why don'cha all come
on in and sit a spell.
**[08:16] Himari**
Ah! Renji, long time no see!
**[08:19] Renji**
Hey!
**[08:20] Aoi**
Himari-chan!
**[08:22] Aoi**
Oh...
**[08:32] Himari**
My name's Himari! Nice to meetcha!
**[08:36] Aoi**
Himari-chan is my cousin's daughter.
**[08:38] Aoi**
She likes to come visit Grandma's
house during summer vacation.
**[08:42] Aoi**
She's in her first year of middle
school, so one year younger than us.
**[08:45] Karin**
Hmm.
**[08:46] Hotaru**
Is that right?
**[08:49] Himari**
Ren-kun, I missed you so much.
**[08:52] Renji**
Come on, I just saw you at New Year's.
**[08:54] Himari**
Why don't you just move here?
**[08:55] Renji**
You can't be serious.
**[08:59] Hotaru**
Girls from the countryside sure are bold.
**[09:01] Himari**
Oh hey, Dagashi-do just
got some new games in.
**[09:05] Karin**
Games?
**[09:06] Himari**
It won't get dark for a while,
so let's go play!
**[09:09] Karin**
Le—
**[09:09] Lily**
Let's go! Renji!
***SIGN*** Dagashi-do
**[09:18] Karin**
Whoa, is this seriously a game center?
**[09:21] Renji**
Well, it's actually just a candy store.
**[09:24] Renji**
Excuse me!
**[09:25] Auntie**
Coming!
**[09:27] Auntie**
Well, if it isn't Renji-kun and Aoi-chan!
**[09:30] Auntie**
It sure has been a while.
**[09:31] Renji**
Nice to see you.
**[09:33] Aoi**
It's very nice to see you.
**[09:35] Auntie**
And you brought a whole crowd with you.
**[09:38] Lily**
Pleased to meet you.
**[09:40] Hotaru**
Pleased to meet you.
**[09:41] Karin**
Sup.
**[09:42] Renji**
So Auntie, do you still
have... you-know-what?
**[09:46] Auntie**
Oh. Why you betcha.
**[09:49] Auntie**
Gonna give it a try?
**[09:51] Renji**
Sure.
**[10:01] Lily**
Wow.
**[10:04] Karin**
Whoa! *Space Invaders*?
I've never seen a real one before!
**[10:07] Karin**
Does it work?
**[10:09] Auntie**
Yep, still tickin'. Just like yours truly.
**[10:19] Hotaru**
This is exactly the kind of
game center I had imagined!
**[10:29] Lily**
Rock, paper, scissors!
**[10:31] Lily**
Renji, it's janken!
**[10:33] Renji**
Huh? Oh...
**[10:35] Renji**
Yeah. These are beigoma tops.
**[10:39] Lily**
Beigoma?
**[10:40] Renji**
Wanna try 'em?
**[10:43] Lily**
Yeah, I do!
**[10:48] Lily**
Yah!
**[10:49] Lily**
Aah! I'm sorry!
**[10:52] Renji**
Th-That's okay, Lily-chan.
**[10:55] Renji**
Instead of throwing the top,
just try to spin in.
**[10:58] Renji**
Like this!
**[10:59] Lily**
Wow!
**[11:00] Lily**
Again! Show me again!
**[11:02] Renji**
Sure. One more time.
**[11:05] Himari**
Ren-kun, would you teach me too?
**[11:08] Renji**
What? You're already really good at beigoma.
**[11:10] Aoi**
My brother sure is popular.
**[11:12] Himari**
Then teach me to play the new game instead!
***SIGN*** Otokogi Koala Fighters!!!
**[11:16] Renji**
OKF?!
**[11:17] Aoi**
I never thought I'd find
it out in the country.
**[11:20] Himari**
I don't understand how
to pull off the moves.
**[11:22] Renji**
W-Well, I could teach you
a little about that.
**[11:26] Lily**
I shall teach her.
**[11:28] Himari**
Huh. Can you really play?
**[11:31] Himari**
You don't look like you're
very good at games.
**[11:33] Lily**
Then play against me and find out!
**[11:35] Himari**
Oh, I like that. And the winner
gets a date with Ren-kun.
**[11:38] Renji**
Huh?!
**[11:41] Himari**
She... She's good!
**[11:44] Renji**
* She's gloating like crazy*
* but it was super close.*
**[11:47] Aoi**
* Good thing she got some practice*
* in at the recent tournament.*
**[11:51] Himari**
I-I might have forgotten to say this...
**[11:53] Himari**
but we're playing best out of
three and next is menko cards!
**[11:56] Lily**
Fine! Bring it on!
***SIGN*** Captain Crimson
**[12:15] Himari**
Y-You aren't that bad.
**[12:17] Lily**
N-Neither are you.
**[12:19] Renji**
*It's somehow blossoming into a friendship.*
**[12:22] Sheryl**
Well, help yourself.
**[12:24] Oliver**
Oh! What a feast, Mama.
**[12:27] Oliver**
Well then, don't mind if I do.
**[12:29] Oliver**
I wonder if Lily's having fun right now.
**[12:32] Sheryl**
Yes. I just hope she's not getting out of
hand and causing trouble for Renji-kun.
**[12:37] Oliver**
Renji... kun?
**[12:41] Oliver**
Are you telling me Lily *isn't*
on a trip with her classmates?
**[12:44] Oliver**
Are you telling me *that guy* is with her?
**[12:46] Sheryl**
Um, well you see...
**[12:47] Oliver**
Unacceptable!
**[12:49] Oliver**
I'm coming to get you, Lily!
**[12:51] Sheryl**
Ah, wait!
**[12:55] Sheryl**
Oh boy.
**[13:13] Himari**
Nice! Today's perfect weather
for some crayfish fishing!
**[13:17] Lily**
Oh, crayfish!
**[13:18] Hotaru**
You can catch those up here?
**[13:20] Renji**
Sure. I fished a lot when I was a kid.
**[13:23] Renji**
Those were good times!
**[13:25] Renji**
I sure broke a sweat
that time Aoi tried to net one
**[13:27] Renji**
and fell in head first, though.
**[13:29] Aoi**
Hey! Keep your stupid memories to yourself!
**[13:33] Himari**
Okay. So put the bait on
one of these fishing rods.
**[13:36] Hotaru**
Bait?
**[13:37] Karin**
Usually something like a worm or fly larva.
**[13:39] Hotaru**
Huh?
**[13:40] Himari**
We're using these. I got 'em
at the candy store yesterday.
**[13:44] Lily**
Ooh.
**[13:45] Himari**
Here. This one's for Lily-chan.
**[13:47] Lily**
Thanks.
**[13:48] Himari**
And this one's for Aoi-chan.
**[13:49] Aoi**
T-Thank you.
**[13:51] Karin**
So where's mine?
**[13:52] Himari**
I gotcha covered!
**[13:59] Oliver**
Damn it! The bloody GPS is on the blink!
**[14:03] Oliver**
Mama, I'm going to need you to navigate.
**[14:05] Sheryl**
No problem. Everything's fine.
**[14:08] Oliver**
All right. Just hang on, Lily!
**[14:10] Sheryl**
Leave at the next exit, Oliver.
**[14:12] Oliver**
Ah, okay.
**[14:17] Lily**
I caught one!
**[14:18] Renji**
Oh wow!
**[14:19] Lily**
This is so much easier than crane games!
**[14:23] Renji**
You might be right.
**[14:27] Karin**
Oh! These are really good!
**[14:30] Hotaru**
They truly are delicious.
**[14:32] Hotaru**
How did you prepare them?
**[14:33] Himari**
They're just normal sandwiches.
**[14:36] Aoi**
They probably taste better than normal
thanks to the fresh country air.
**[14:39] Lily**
Country air? Oh...
**[15:11] Lily**
Yeah, you might be right.
**[15:15] Lily**
Hey, I wanna make a den!
**[15:19] All**
Den?
***SIGN*** To build your fort, first make a framework
**[15:21] Renji**
I see. So a den is like a bug out camp.
**[15:24] Renji**
Or what we'd call a secret base in Japan.
**[15:26] Karin**
Yeah, doesn't matter the country,
kids everywhere get the same ideas.
**[15:31] Aoi**
You're still a kid yourself, you know.
**[15:33] Lily**
My papa taught me how to build one,
**[15:36] Lily**
but I've never actually done it
and I always wanted to try.
**[15:39] Himari**
That sounds like fun! Let's do it!
**[15:42] Hotaru**
I-If Lily-san wants to, then I won't object.
**[15:46] Aoi**
It sounds like fun!
**[15:48] Karin**
Ah, what the heck. I guess I'll pitch in.
**[15:51] Renji**
Okay!
**[15:52] Renji**
If we're gonna build one,
then let's do it right!
**[15:56] Renji**
Okay?
**[15:57] Lily**
Renji...
**[15:59] Lily**
Yeah!
**[16:00] Renji**
All right. Let's build a den!
**[16:03] All**
Yeah!
**[16:13] Oliver**
Huh?
**[16:15] Sheryl**
Come on, let's go!
**[16:16] Oliver**
Eh? Euh, yeah...
**[16:54] Oliver**
What's wrong?
**[16:55] Sheryl**
Nothing.
**[16:58] Sheryl**
Isn't this the first time we're out alone
together since we got here, Oliver?
**[17:02] Oliver**
Is it?
**[17:03] Sheryl**
Yeah, it is!
**[17:07] Sheryl**
Right. Let's get moving or
we'll miss the daylight!
**[17:15] Oliver**
Hold on, Sheryl!
**[17:17] Oliver**
Sheryl!
**[17:22] Lily**
It's finished!
**[17:24] Himari; Karin**
Ooh!
**[17:25] Aoi**
This is actually pretty well-made!
**[17:28] Renji**
It sure is!
**[17:29] Himari**
It only barely fits two
people at once, though.
**[17:32] Karin**
I bet it'll fit one more!
**[17:34] Hotaru**
I'd like to go in too.
**[17:36] Himari**
There's no way!
**[17:38] Karin**
Come on, it's fine!
**[17:39] Hotaru**
Could you please make room?
**[17:41] Lily**
I-It's so cramped...
**[17:43] Aoi**
You think we can fit one more?
**[17:45] Himari; Hotaru; Karin; Lily**
Sorry, no!
**[17:47] Renji**
Oh, come on!
**[17:51] Lily**
That sure was fun!
**[17:54] Himari**
I wonder if the den will
still be there next year.
**[17:57] Renji**
Well, I wouldn't count on it.
**[17:59] Karin**
You never know, man.
Let's come back next year and find out.
**[18:04] Hotaru**
You weren't very enthusiastic
at first, Kaga-san.
**[18:08] Karin**
Shut up!
**[18:18] Renji**
Grandma!
**[18:21] Himari**
And we all threw it together in no time!
**[18:24] Grandma**
Well, isn't that something.
**[18:27] Grandma**
And you call that a "den"?
**[18:29] Lily**
Yeah!
**[18:30] Himari**
And it was only big enough for two,
but then she pushed her way in...
**[18:34] Karin**
I-It was fine, though. Right?
**[18:39] Grandma**
Hmm? You all right?
**[18:43] Lily**
What are those?
**[18:45] Grandma**
Hmm. I wonder.
**[18:48] Himari**
Oh, for the matsuri!
**[18:51] Lily**
Matsuri...
**[18:53] Lily**
Festival?
**[18:54] Himari**
Yeah, yeah. A festibaru! There'll be a
street fair and even a fireworks show!
**[18:59] Hotaru**
A fireworks show? That certainly sounds fun!
**[19:02] Aoi**
We should all go!
**[19:04] Lily**
Master?
**[19:05] Karin**
Oh, what the heck. I guess I could go with.
**[19:09] Grandma**
You know, 'round these parts we've got
an old sayin' about fireworks shows.
**[19:14] Grandma**
You wanna hear it?
**[19:16] Lily**
I do!
**[19:18] Grandma**
All righty.
**[19:20] Grandma**
Ages and ages ago, there was a young
man and woman who lived near here.
**[19:26] Grandma**
And they sure were keen on each other.
**[19:29] Grandma**
They lived in different villages, so once
a month they would both sneak out to meet.
**[19:35] Lily**
Sounds like Tanabata.
**[19:37] Grandma**
You know about Tanabata?
**[19:39] Lily**
Orihime and Hikoboshi!
**[19:41] Grandma**
Well, I'll be darned.
Ain't you a clever one, Lily-chan.
**[19:46] Grandma**
But this isn't quite the story
of Orihime and Hikoboshi.
**[19:49] Lily**
Oh?
**[19:51] Grandma**
So the two of 'em kept meeting in secret,
and then, on the night of the festival...
**[20:01] Grandma**
when the last firework lit up the sky,
everyone realized that they were together.
**[20:09] Lily**
Then what happened to them?
**[20:12] Grandma**
Well, long story short,
as a result of it all,
**[20:15] Grandma**
the two villages became one village,
**[20:19] Grandma**
the man and woman were married, and
they lived a long and happy life together.
**[20:24] Grandma**
And there ya have it.
**[20:25] Karin**
*So what happened during the "long story"?*
**[20:29] Hotaru**
What a lovely story.
**[20:31] Aoi**
Because of that, people around here say that
when the last firework of the show explodes,
**[20:35] Aoi**
if a man and woman are holding hands, then
they're destined to be together forever!
**[20:39] Hotaru**
Oh, so romantic! I suppose that's
what you call a folk legend.
**[20:43] Karin**
Folk legends sure are romantic.
**[20:47] Renji**
So Grandma, did you go into
the mountain to gather these?
**[20:51] Grandma**
Sure. There's only little scrawny ones by
the stream, so I went deep in the forest.
**[20:55] Himari**
Were you okay? Were there any bears?
**[20:58] Grandma**
Well, there sure mighta been.
**[21:01] Karin**
Hey, why'd you stop all of a sudden?
**[21:07] Lily**
You've seen bears?
**[21:10] Renji**
Don't worry, Lily-chan.
At this time of year, the bears...
**[21:17] Karin**
No way.
**[21:26] Oliver**
Hey!
**[21:28] Sheryl**
Oliver!
**[21:29] Renji**
Huh?
**[21:30] Lily**
Huh?
**[21:31] Sheryl**
Huh?
**[21:32] Oliver**
Huh?
**[21:33] Lily**
Mom! Dad!
**[21:36] Oliver**
Lily!
**[21:37] Lily**
Dad!
**[21:39] Oliver**
Lily! I missed you!
**[21:41] Renji**
Um, how did you get way out here?
**[21:43] Sheryl**
Well, the GPS broke
on the way and we got lost.
**[21:47] Renji**
I don't really understand but
I'm very glad you're safe.
**[21:49] Oliver**
I don't remember asking for
sympathy from you, punk!
**[21:51] Renji**
Huh?!
**[21:53] Lily**
Stop it, Papa!
**[21:54] Grandma**
Who are these folks?
**[21:56] Aoi**
Um, those are Lily-chan's parents.
**[22:02] Grandma**
Ah.

**[00:02] All**
Wow!
**[00:06] Hotaru**
Is this your first time
at an onsen, Lily-san?
**[00:08] Lily**
Yeah. But taking a bath with
everyone seems like fun.
**[00:11] Aoi**
So let's get in!
**[00:12] Lily**
Yeah!
**[00:24] Oliver**
Problem?
**[00:25] Renji**
No, not at all.
**[00:33] Renji**
Um... I did get her mother's permission.
**[00:36] Oliver**
I'm aware of that.
**[00:40] Renji**
*I'm sure her dad is still angry about it.*
**[00:43] Renji**
*And I mean...*
**[00:46] Renji**
* What kind of work does*
* this guy do anyway?*
**[00:50] Oliver**
Renji-kun.
**[00:51] Renji**
Uh... yes?
**[00:53] Oliver**
Did you actually think I
was a bear or something?
**[00:57] Renji**
No! But I am very sorry about that!
**[00:59] Oliver**
It doesn't matter.
**[01:01] Oliver**
Actually, if you did mistake me
for a bear, I'd be flattered.
**[01:05] Oliver**
But what I'd like to know is,
why didn't you run away?
**[01:10] Renji**
Huh? Well, I mean, with everyone there...
**[01:14] Oliver**
Hmph. So you're telling me you were
standing up to defend everyone?
**[01:18] Renji**
It's not a big deal.
**[01:20] Renji**
I was so caught up in the moment,
I wasn't really thinking anyway.
**[01:37] Oliver**
Renji-kun.
**[01:39] Renji**
Yes?
**[01:40] Oliver**
There's something I've been
wanting to ask you. About Lily.
**[01:46] Oliver**
How do you feel about her?
**[01:48] Renji**
Um... Y-You kinda caught me off guard.
**[01:51] Oliver**
Answer the question.
**[01:57] Renji**
*Oh.*
**[01:59] Renji**
*His eyes are the same color as Lily's.*
**[02:10] Lily**
Wow! So many people!
**[02:13] Himari**
Ren-kun, Ren-kun!
**[02:16] Renji**
Hmm?
**[02:18] Himari**
Rub sunscreen on me?
**[02:20] Renji**
Now where in the world did
you pick that up from?
**[02:23] Renji**
You're already as tan
as it gets, Himari-chan.
**[02:26] Himari**
Who cares! Don't be so uptight!
**[02:30] Lily**
Renji, rub some on me too!
**[02:32] Renji**
Huh?! Um... I don't think that's a good idea.
**[02:36] Aoi**
Ugh, fine! Then I'll put it on them.
**[02:39] Renji**
S-Sounds good. I'll go buy some drinks.
**[02:42] Lily**
Hey, Renji!
**[02:43] Himari**
Ren-kun!

Me!
**[03:47] Karin**
What are those?
**[03:48] Renji**
Those are for the Shishi Odori.
**[03:50] Renji**
It's a dance where they dress up like deer.
**[03:53] Lily**
Shishi Odori? Deer?
**[03:56] Renji**
Yeah. They're messengers of the gods.
**[03:59] Aoi**
You remember when you saw deer
on the train here, Lily-chan?
**[04:02] Lily**
Oh.
**[04:09] Aoi**
Seeing a divine messenger means
something good's gonna happen!
**[04:13] Renji**
Yeah, definitely!
**[04:16] Lily**
Mm-hmm!

See you later!
**[04:23] Oliver**
I'm back.
**[04:25] Sheryl**
How did it go?
**[04:26] Oliver**
No good.
**[04:28] Oliver**
Just a puny lil' stream up top that
got dem scrawny ones, hoowee!
**[04:33] Oliver**
Hmm?
**[04:33] Grandma**
Well, don't mind me.
**[04:37] Oliver**
What's wrong?
**[04:38] Sheryl**
It's... nothing. Nothing at all.
**[04:43] Himari**
I'm-a here! Let's go to the festival!
**[04:47] Oliver**
Huh?
**[04:48] Himari**
What's going on here?
**[04:49] Oliver**
Huh?
**[04:51] Lily**
I'll... go get ready.
**[04:55] Lily**
Thanks for waiting.
**[04:58] Lily**
Well? I hope it doesn't look too silly.
**[05:00] Sheryl**
It looks lovely on you, Lily!
**[05:02] Grandma**
Well now, looks like y'all are ready to go.
**[05:06] Aoi**
Ta-da!
**[05:07] Lily**
Oh!
**[05:08] Aoi**
Look at this, Lily-chan!
**[05:10] Lily**
Hmm?
***SIGN*** Chivalry
**[05:12] Aoi**
See?
**[05:13] Lily**
Oh! It's Otokogi Kitty!
**[05:15] Aoi**
It turned up when I was
getting ready for the trip.
**[05:18] Hotaru**
Huh? What is it?
**[05:19] Lily**
I've got one on mine too.
**[05:22] Lily**
So we match!
**[05:23] Aoi**
We sure do!
**[05:25] Hotaru**
That's so cute! I wish I had one too.
**[05:27] Karin**
Yeah, good luck with that.
How old are those anyway?
**[05:31] Aoi**
No clue.
**[05:37] Lily**
Now, let's save a good
spot for the fireworks!
**[05:40] Renji**
Already?
**[05:41] Renji**
Fireworks are great and all that,
but let's enjoy the festival first.
**[05:44] Himari**
Yeah, let's go see the festival!
I promise it'll be fun.
**[05:48] Lily**
But if we don't get there early,
we won't get a good spot.
**[05:52] Aoi**
I bet you're still thinking about that
story Grandma told yesterday, aren't you?
**[06:08] Aoi**
Don't worry! The fireworks don't start until
dark, and there's still the street fair
**[06:14] Aoi**
with stuff like candy apples and yakisoba!
**[06:16] Lily**
Candy apples!
**[06:18] Lily**
What's that?
**[06:19] Aoi**
Hmm?
**[06:20] Aoi**
That settles it! First stop, candy apples!
**[06:24] Lily**
Uh no...
**[06:26] Hotaru**
I am quite excited for the fair myself!
**[06:28] Karin**
Yeah, let's go check it out together!
**[06:31] Himari**
Let's go, let's go, Lily-chan!
**[06:32] Lily**
Uh... okay.

Hey, what's that?
**[06:53] Renji**
Lily-chan, you'll get lost
if you get too far ahead.
**[06:57] Lily**
I'll be fine! I'm not a child anymore!
**[07:16] Lily**
Wow! It's the Shishi Odori!
**[07:18] Renji**
That's right.
**[07:19] Oliver**
Do you know what that is, Lily?
**[07:21] Lily**
That's deer! They call them "shika"!
**[07:24] Oliver**
Oh.
**[07:26] Grandma**
My, Lily-chan, you're sharp as a tack.
**[07:35] Sheryl**
It all kind of reminds
me of Guy Fawkes Night.
**[07:38] Oliver**
Yeah.
**[07:39] Grandma**
Guy... what now?
**[07:41] Oliver**
Guy Fawkes Night. It's a British festival.
**[07:44] Grandma**
Huh.
**[07:46] Oliver**
This "Shishi Odori" must likewise be
an old tradition with deep roots here.
**[07:51] Grandma**
Well, not exactly.
**[07:53] Oliver**
Huh?
**[07:54] Grandma**
This festival was actually brought over
here by folks visitin' from other parts.
**[08:00] Grandma**
After exchangin' with those folks, people
here started to pick up the same dance.
**[08:06] Grandma**
A lot of old traditions are actually
born out of different groups connecting
**[08:13] Grandma**
and exchanging their cultures like that.
**[08:28] Lily**
Otokogi Koala-kun!
**[08:30] Renji**
Wow, this thing sure is popular.
**[08:32] Himari**
Do you want it, Lily-chan?
**[08:34] Lily**
Yeah!
**[08:35] Himari**
Then let's take turns and
see who can win it first!
**[08:39] Lily**
Bring it on!
**[08:42] Renji**
*They're competing again!*
***SIGN*** Ring Toss
**[08:47] Lily**
I couldn't... get even one.
**[08:51] Himari**
Let's keep going until we get it!
**[08:53] Lily**
Yeah!
**[08:53] Renji**
Wait, wait! Just let me do it!
**[08:56] Lily**
Wow, you won first prize!
**[08:58] Himari**
Whoa!
**[08:59] Renji**
You can have this, Lily-chan.
**[09:01] Lily**
Thanks.
**[09:02] Himari**
Hey! Not fair! Give me something too!
**[09:05] Renji**
Then let's try the shooting gallery.
**[09:07] Oliver**
Oh? Shooting gallery?
**[09:09] Oliver**
That's something I have some familiarity with.
**[09:12] Oliver**
How would you like to take me on, Renji-kun?
**[09:14] Renji**
Sure, why not?
***SIGN*** Chivalry
**[09:23] Oliver**
Huh? Bloody hell.
**[09:33] Himari**
You got it!
**[09:34] Lily**
Wow, Renji!
**[09:36] Renji**
Looks like I won.
**[09:38] Oliver**
What the hell was that?!
**[09:39] Renji**
Ahh!
**[09:40] Oliver**
That's no way to shoot!
**[09:42] Renji**
That's the way you're
supposed to shoot these!
**[09:44] Lily**
Cut it out, Papa!
**[09:47] Renji**
Here you go.
**[09:48] Himari**
Awesome!
**[09:50] Renji**
And if there's anything you want,
Aoi, just say the word.
**[09:54] Aoi**
Mm-hmm!
***SIGN*** Chivalry
**[10:03] Lily**

**[10:06] Aoi**
Wait. What happened to your bag, Lily-chan?
**[10:08] Lily**
Huh?
**[10:09] Lily**
I forgot it! I'll go get it!
**[10:11] Aoi**
Hey! Lily-chan?
**[10:13] Aoi**
Will she be okay by herself?
**[10:16] Renji**
What's the matter, Aoi?
**[10:17] Aoi**
Renji...
**[10:19] Aoi**
Lily-chan forgot something and
went by herself to get it.
**[10:22] Renji**
Huh? Oh...
**[10:30] Renji**
Just tell everyone that I went
back to get Lily-chan, okay?
**[10:34] Aoi**
Yeah, but...
**[10:35] Renji**
Don't worry. Your big brother's got this.
**[10:48] Lily**
Thank goodness.
**[10:52] Lily**
Hmm?
**[11:17] Oliver**
What did you say?
**[11:18] Aoi**
So my brother went off to get her.
**[11:21] Oliver**
Fine, but still...
**[11:23] Aoi**
She'll be fine! Renji is with her.
**[11:27] Himari**
I'll go looking too.
**[11:29] Aoi**
Huh?
**[11:30] Himari**
I've been playing at this shrine
ever since I was a kid.
**[11:33] Aoi**
Oh, good point.
**[11:34] Himari**
I'll catch up with you all later.
**[11:36] Aoi**
Okay.
**[11:37] Oliver**
Keep your eyes peeled!
**[11:38] Himari**
I got it!
**[11:40] Oliver**
Be careful, okay?
**[11:42] Himari**
All right!
**[11:45] Oliver**
Shall we get going then?
**[11:46] Aoi**
Yes.
**[11:47] Hotaru**
But...
**[11:48] Karin**
We can't just keep Grandma
and everyone waiting.
**[11:51] Hotaru**
Well, you have a point.
**[11:52] Aoi**
She'll be fine, guys!
**[11:54] Oliver**
*How do you feel about her?*
**[12:00] (Flashback) Oliver**
Answer the question.
**[12:06] (Flashback) Renji**
To be honest, I'm not really sure yet.
**[12:11] (Flashback) Renji**
It makes me very happy to know
that Lily thinks so highly of me.
**[12:16] (Flashback) Renji**
But will she feel that way forever,
**[12:20] (Flashback) Renji**
or will her feelings for me change someday?
**[12:27] (Flashback) Sheryl**
Please take good care of Lily, okay?
**[12:31] (Flashback) Aoi**
You'd better not do anything
to make Lily-chan upset!
**[12:35] (Flashback) Renji**
But even if they do change, I have no
intention of doing anything to upset her.
**[12:43] (Flashback) Oliver**
Are you for real?
**[12:45] (Flashback) Renji**
Huh? Wait...
**[12:46] (Flashback) Renji**
Is that bad?
Did I say something wrong again?!
**[13:07] Lily**
*It's all right!*
**[13:15] (Flashback) Oliver**
Fine then. I mean...
**[13:19] (Flashback) Oliver**
I know how you feel.
**[13:21] (Flashback) Oliver**
So Renji-kun, I hope you'll
keep watching over her.
**[13:27] (Flashback) Renji**
I will.

Lily-chan...
**[14:14] Dancer**
Oh, you surprised me.
Are you okay? Can you get up?
**[15:41] Lily**
Renji...
**[15:50] Renji**
Lily-chan!
**[15:52] Lily**
Renji.
**[16:14] Renji**
Oh, sorry!
**[16:20] Renji**
Hmm?
**[16:21] Lily**
Ah, I'm sorry.
I was just remembering something.
**[16:25] Lily**
When we first met and I went
to get your answer to my card,
**[16:29] Lily**
as soon as I saw you, I didn't
know what to do with myself
**[16:33] Lily**
so I just ran off. Silly me.
**[16:37] Renji**
Yeah, I remember that.
**[16:38] Lily**
Then you chased after me
and eventually caught up.
**[16:42] Renji**
Sorry about all that.
**[16:44] Lily**
No, it's fine.
**[16:47] Lily**
Even now, whenever I'm lost,
you always come to find me.
**[16:53] Renji**
Well, I mean that's...
**[16:57] Lily**
Like the first time we met!
**[17:01] Renji**
Yeah, that was already half a year ago.
**[17:03] Lily**
Renji...
**[17:04] Renji**
Hmm?
**[17:06] Lily**
My feelings haven't changed since that day.
**[17:10] (Flashback) Lily**
Thank you. I will cherish it.
**[17:14] Lily**
Renji, I...
**[17:20] Renji**
Li—
**[17:20] Himari**
Lily-chan!
**[17:22] Lily**
Himari-chan? What's wrong?
**[17:24] Himari**
I was so worried!
**[17:25] Aoi**
R-Renji?
**[17:28] Aoi**
We all decided to search anyway.
**[17:32] Renji**
You all, meaning...
**[17:34] Renji**
Ah!
**[17:39] Renji**
Yeah, so, Aoi...
**[17:40] Aoi**
Yes?
**[17:41] Renji**
How much of that did you see?
**[17:43] Aoi**
Well...
**[17:45] Oliver**
Oh, Kusakabe-san!
**[17:48] Oliver**
Thank you from the bottom of my
heart for finding my daughter!
**[17:52] Oliver**
Thank you very much!
**[17:55] Renji**
Uh, not a problem.
**[17:56] Oliver**
Okay, Lily.
**[17:57] Oliver**
Papa bought some nice fireworks so
let's all go back and set them off.
**[18:00] Lily**
Uh-huh.
**[18:03] Aoi**
I'm real sorry, Renji.
**[18:06] Renji**
Huh?
**[18:07] Renji**
What are you talking about?
It's nothing you need to apologize for.
**[18:13] Renji**
* But I wonder what would have happened*
* if everyone hadn't shown up.*
**[18:32] Aoi**
And that's the last of them.
**[18:38] Renji**
Huh?
**[19:10] Oliver**
Oh.
**[19:11] Oliver**
Hot!
**[19:12] Lily**
D-Dad!
**[19:13] Renji**
Wait, what are you doing?!
**[19:15] Renji**
Cool it off! Cool it off!
**[19:18] Sheryl**
Thank you so much for everything.
**[19:20] Grandma**
Not at all. Come see me
again sometime, Lily-chan.
**[19:23] Lily**
I will!
**[19:24] Himari**
Next time, I'm gonna go visit you guys.
And we'll see who wins then!
**[19:28] Lily**
Bring it on.
**[19:30] Aoi**
They're such good friends now.
**[19:33] Renji**
No kidding.
**[19:35] Karin**
See ya.
**[19:36] Hotaru**
See you later, Lily-san.
**[19:38] Lily**
See you!
**[19:39] Aoi**
See you!
**[19:41] Lily**
See you later, Aoi!
**[19:43] Renji**
See you later, Lily-chan.
**[19:48] Lily**
See you again, Renji!
**[19:49] Renji**
See you again.
**[19:51] Lily**
See you!
**[19:57] Karin**
Yo, what's with the "see you again" crap?
**[19:59] Renji**
Wh-Who cares?! Come on.
**[20:02] Kaede**
All right, then. We should head back too.
**[20:12] Sheryl**
Are you all right?
Do you want me to drive for a bit?
**[20:15] Oliver**
Hmm?
**[20:16] Oliver**
It's all right. I'm perfectly fine!
**[20:19] Sheryl**
Really?
**[20:22] Sheryl**
Through this trip, I think I've figured out
why you seem to like this place so much.
**[20:28] Oliver**
Oh, really? Care to share?
**[20:34] Sheryl**
It's because we drive on the left!
**[20:36] Oliver**
Huh?
**[20:41] Oliver**
So, you've figured it out!
**[20:43] Sheryl**
Shh! Keep it down!
**[20:44] Oliver**
Oh!
**[20:46] Sheryl**
Sweet dreams,
**[20:48] Sheryl**
our little angel.
**[20:52] (Flashback) Aoi; Age 8**
Renji, get that one.
**[20:53] (Flashback) Renji; Age 13**
Huh? But you can buy that anywhere.
**[20:56] (Flashback) Aoi; Age 8**
No you can't! It's only a game prize.
You can't buy it. Please!
**[21:01] (Flashback) Renji; Age 13**
Fine then.
**[21:03] (Flashback) Lily; Age 8**
Stare...
**[21:06] (Flashback) Lily; Age 8**
Stare...
**[21:09] (Flashback) Renji; Age 13**
Oh, got it.
**[21:11] (Flashback) Aoi; Age 8**
All right!
**[21:12] Lily; Age 8**
Awesome!
**[21:13] Lily; Age 8**
You are so good at games!
**[21:14] Lily; Age 8**
What is this character called?
**[21:16] (Flashback) Renji; Age 13**
Huh? Um... Well...
**[21:19] (Flashback) Renji; Age 13**
Present for you.
***SIGN*** Chivalry
**[21:25] (Flashback) Aoi; Age 8**
Hey! Why did you give it away?!
**[21:27] (Flashback) Renji; Age 13**
You saw the way she was
looking at it! I had to!
**[21:30] (Flashback) Renji; Age 13**
I'll get a different one for you, Aoi!
**[21:32] (Flashback) Aoi; Age 8**
Then I want that kitty one.
**[21:34] (Flashback) Renji; Age 13**
What? Not the koala?
**[21:36] Lily; Age 8**
Thank you!
**[21:39] Lily; Age 8**
I'll take good care of it!
**[21:50] Lily**
Alright, see you later!
**[21:52] Oliver**
Okay.
**[21:53] Sheryl**
Take care!
