Hey, Renji-kun.
Could you restock the prizes for me?
[00:05] Renji
Ah, sure.
SIGN Chivalry
[00:14] Renji
Good.
[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
Do you have a sore shoulder or something?
[01:27] Renji
Huh? You're mad! But why?
[01:30] Part-timer A
Hi there, Lily-chan.
[01:33] Part-timer A
You sure are dressed up today.
[01:35] Part-timer B
And you cut your hair.
[01:37] Lily
Uh-huh.
[01:38] Renji
Ah.
[01:39] Part-timer B
Enjoy yourself, okay?
[01:41] Lily
Thank you!
[01:43] Renji
Uh...
[01:45] Renji
Cultural exchange sure is difficult.

[03:31] Lily
Cheers, Dad!

G-Good morning.
[03:44] Student 1
G-Good morning.
[03:45] Student 2
Good morning, Baker-san.
[03:55] Hotaru
Everyone still gets really
uptight around Lily-chan.
[03:58] Hotaru
As class president,
[04:00] Hotaru
I need to do something about this!
[04:03] Hotaru
Um, so what is the correct pronunciation
for an English greeting?
[04:07] Aoi
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.

Aah! Jeez!
[06:43] Aoi
I can't get a single one! Is the
arm super weak or something?
[06:46] Aoi
This is all because my brother
wouldn't teach me any tricks!
[06:50] Aoi
When I get home, I'm gonna let him have it!
[06:54] Aoi
Lily-chan?
[06:55] Aoi
Is Lily-chan doing this... for me?

[07:26] Aoi
Oh well...

Whoa! Lily-chan?!

D-Don't cry, okay?
[07:36] Renji
Is there a problem?
[07:38] Aoi
Such obviously calculated timing.
[07:41] Aoi
There's no doubt. This must be the...
[07:44] Renji
Welcome in, ladies.
[07:50] Renji
I tried to disguise myself at least,
but will it actually fool her?
[07:56] Aoi
This guy is a...
[07:58] Aoi
gangster!
[07:59] Renji
Looks like it worked.
[08:01] Aoi
Eww. When this type of guy declares
his love to a middle schooler,

There is a trick to winning

[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.

I can't really say no when
you put it like that.

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?!

Oh crap! I forgot I was in disguise!

Really?

I'm telling the truth!

Isn't this the pen you fancied?
[09:55] Lily
No! I want one that's more sparkly!

Hey, Lily-chan.

Huh?

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?

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.

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,

he probably can't think about

At least that's what it said in the magazine
I read, but will this really work?

This is hard.
[16:03] Aoi
Y-You okay, Lily-chan?!
[16:06] Lily
I'll feel better after I... calm down a bit.

Then would you mind showing

Aww.
[16:43] Aoi
He's acting totally natural with customers!

And they're girls, too!

But like, why're you dressed so crazy like that?

Well, if you think about it,
I guess that's normal.

Huh? I don't know...

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.

Really?

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.

I want to talk to you about something.

[19:36] Renji
This is seriously good!

Did you really make it all by yourself?

Well, it wasn't just me...

Huh? I was sure we followed
the recipe closely.

Huh? Right now?
[20:42] Lily
To Renji,
[20:44] Lily
I'm sorry for glaring at you
and pushing you over before.
[20:48] Lily
Aoi taught me that if pushing
doesn't work, to try pulling,
[20:54] Lily
but that didn't go very well.
[20:56] Renji
That explains it.
[20:57] Renji
Aoi's meddling started it all.
[21:00] Lily
But...
[21:02] Lily
when you didn't pay attention to me
and started talking to those other girls,
[21:07] Lily
it really did make me sad.
[21:10] Renji

[21:22] Renji
When I'm not working at the game center,

[21:36] Lily
You would meet me outside the arcade?
[21:39] Renji
Huh? Y-Yeah.
[21:46] Lily
You mean... like on a date?!
[21:50] Renji
Date.
[21:53] Renji
