**[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,
Medal Games, Cosplay, etc...
**[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?
