[00:04] Aoi
    Good morning!
[00:06] Lily
    Good morning!
[00:07] Glasses-chan
    Good morning.
[00:08] Glasses-chan
    You're sure in a better mood, Aoi.
[00:11] Bangs-chan
    Yeah, you never get quiet like
    that. We were worried about you.
[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"?!
[00:31] Hotaru
    Thank goodness.
[00:32] Hotaru
    It looks like they're both feeling better now.
[00:35] Aoi
    I'm glad. I couldn't go to the game center
    if things had stayed awkward.
[00:42] Hotaru
    Game center?
[00:45] Hotaru
    It can't be!
[00:49] Aoi
    Wanna go back to the
    game center after school?
[00:51] Lily
    I do!
[00:53] Aoi
    Are you coming, Kaga-san?
[00:54] Karin
    Yeah, sure.
[00:56] Hotaru
    Just a moment, girls.
SIGN    Discipline
[01:00] Hotaru
    You aren't planning to go
    to a game center, are you?
[01:03] Aoi
    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.

    You can play cooperatively

[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!

    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!

[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.

[07:48] 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

[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!
[20:41] Hotaru
    Um, hands like claws...
[20:43] Aoi
    Like this, Prez!
[20:44] Print Club
    Five.
[20:45] Hotaru
    O-Okay!
[20:45] Print Club
    Four.
[20:46] Lily
    Roooar!
[20:47] Print Club
    Three.
[20:48] Hotaru
    Huh?
[20:48] Print Club
    Two.
[20:49] Aoi
    Whoa!
[20:49] Karin
    Hey!
[20:49] Print Club
    One.
[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!
SIGN    Roooar!
