[00:13] (Flashback) yu
    Realized what?
[00:15] (Flashback) haru
    Don't play dumb!
[00:16] (Flashback) haru
    We're the ones who have been
    sending monsters after you!

    Don't you get it yet?
[00:23] (Flashback) aki
    We, the brothers, are...

    Galaxy Idols: The VEPPer!
[00:33] haru
    They've ignored us since New Year...
[00:36] haru
    that's a month and a half!
[00:38] aki
    Unforgivable.
[00:39] aki
    We revealed our secret...
[00:41] aki
    we gave them the shock
    of a lifetime, and yet...
[00:45] haru
    We identified ourselves explicitly,
SIGN    Grr grr grr grr
[00:47] haru
    yet they didn't say a
    single word in response...
[00:49] haru
    Are they mocking us?!
[00:51] aki
    What they're doing isn't even mocking us.
[00:54] aki
    I think they don't even care about us at all.
[00:57] haru
    Unforgivable!
SIGN    Earth Defense Club (lol)
[01:00] yu
    Oh yeah!
[01:01] yu
    Did you know?
[01:03] yu
    Tomorrow's Valentine's Day!
[01:05] en
    Oh, I totally forgot.
SIGN    Oden
    Warm and Fluffy!
[01:07] en
    But I'm sure Atsushi will
    be giving me something.
[01:09] at
    Something? You mean chocolate, right?
[01:12] at
    Speaking of forgetting things,
[01:15] at
    are you sure we shouldn't be doing
    something about the Beppu Brothers?
[01:18] ryu
    Yeah, they were all...
[01:20] ryu
    "Galaxy Idol the VEPPer,"
    or something, right?
[01:25] io
    We've ignored them for a month and a half.
[01:27] io
    It's a little late to comment on it now.
[01:29] yu
    I'm just glad we know where
    the monsters are coming from!
[01:34] at
    Yeah, that's true.
[01:36] wom
    That the Beppu Brothers are creating monsters
[01:39] wom
    is an alarming problem in itself!
[01:41] en
    Yeah, those two don't really seem
    like the type to just drop it...
SIGN    The Chemical Substance of Love
[03:29] yu
    What's with those helicopters?
[03:31] gora
    They seem to be carrying chocolate.
[03:33] yu
    Wow!
[03:34] yu
    They're getting that much chocolate?
[03:37] haru
    Another year, another
    enormous pile of chocolate.
[03:40] aki
    Eating it all would be fatal.
[03:43] aki
    Finding ways to dispose of it all
    every year is not an easy task.
[03:45] yu
    Galaxy Idols The VEPPer sure are a cut above!
[03:49] gora
    Galaxy Idols?
[03:50] yu
    Yeah, that's what they called themselves!
[03:55] yu
    Bro?
[03:57] gora
    Oh, Yumoto.
[03:59] gora
    I made chocolate breakfast gruel.
[04:03] yu
    Wow! Great!
[04:05] yu
    Looks delicious!
[04:07] gora
    You should eat it while it's still hot.
[04:09] gora
    It's got barley and rice.
[04:10] yu
    Thanks, Bro!
[04:15] aki
    That's the Gora we know.
[04:17] aki
    Barley chocolate is delicious.
[04:19] aki
    That means chocolate barley rice
    gruel must be delicious, too.
[04:23] haru
    Dammit!
[04:23] haru
    I want it!
[04:25] haru
    If not for Hakone Yumoto...
[04:29] aki
    Why don't we get rid of him?
[04:31] aki
    They've ignored us for a month and a half...
[04:35] haru
    This time, at last, we'll
    settle things with them.
[04:39] dada
    Yeah!
[04:40] dada
    Let's beat 'em!
[04:41] both
    Valentine's Day will be the
    day Hakone Yumoto dies.
[04:51] ryu
    Io, did you bring any paper bags?
[04:53] ryu
    I'll probably get more by
    the time school's over.
[04:55] ryu
    I can't carry it all.
[04:57] io
    I thought this might happen, so I
    arranged for a truck to come by.
[05:01] io
    I'll send you the bill later, of course.
[05:03] ryu
    That's the Io I know!
[05:05] ryu
    Just find a way to get
    me out of the bill, okay?
[05:07] ryu
    I'll give you chocolate!
SIGN    Io
[05:10] io
    I'm getting plenty of chocolate from
    the candy companies I own stock in.
[05:15] io
    But I'll take it, if you're offering.
[05:18] ryu
    I wonder if you'll be the one ending
    up with the most chocolate.
[05:24] en
    This is delicious!
[05:25] at
    Right?
[05:26] at
    I tried to cut back on
    the sweetness this year.
SIGN    Earth Defense Club (lol)
[05:35] yu
    You mean it just showed up?
[05:38] at
    It looks like very expensive wrapping.
[05:40] ryu
    Yeah...
[05:42] io
    The message is handwritten, too.
[05:44] en
    Who's it addressed to?
[05:46] wom
    Anyway, why don't we open it?
[05:48] wom
    There might be a letter or something inside!
[05:51] en
    Are you sure we should be doing this?
[05:52] yu
    I'm sure!
[05:54] yu
    I wanna eat chocolate!
[06:01] en
    What?
[06:02] en
    So it's to all of us?
[06:04] io
    The cards are hand-written, and
    the bouquets are all different...
[06:08] ryu
    But there's none for Wom-san.
[06:10] wom
    Yes, that is certainly a shame.
[06:13] en
    So what do we do with them?
[06:15] at
    Not eat them, that's for sure.
[06:16] at
    We don't even know who it's from.
[06:19] ryu
    That's right!
[06:21] ryu
    We've got plenty of other
    stuff to eat anyway.
[06:23] io
    And nothing is more terrifying than "free."
[06:26] yu
    But that would be rude to the
    person who gave it to us!
[06:28] yu
    I'm gonna try it!
[06:30] ryu
    Idiot! Don't do that!
[06:33] yu
    Delicious!
[06:34] yu
    This chocolate is really delicious!
[06:37] yu
    But...
[06:38] ryu
    What's wrong, Yumoto?
[06:42] haru
    I bet they're crying about now.
[06:45] aki
    They need to learn that life
    isn't all wine and roses.
[06:49] haru
    You do have a good idea
    from time to time, Dadacha.
[06:51] dada
    I'm honored by your compliment!
SIGN    Dark chocolate
SIGN    Endorphins
[06:54] dada
    Dark chocolate causes the brain to release
    neuropeptides known as endorphins,
SIGN    Brain
[07:00] dada
    which produce feelings of happiness
    and stimulate the mind.
[07:02] dada
    At the same time, it also
    raises the heart rate.
[07:06] dada
    I've fused that with capsicum extract using
    my highly advanced scientific technology...
[07:12] dada
    If they eat it, they'll end up
    so stimulated and high on joy,
[07:16] dada
    their combat prowess will be diminshed!
[07:20] dada
    And that's how it works!
[07:22] aki
    Well, we don't really care about that...
[07:24] haru
    But this time, we'll crush the Defense Club!
[07:27] haru
    And in the process, rid
    ourselves of Hakone Yumoto!
[07:29] aki
    That super-spicy chocolate will
    be but a minor entertainment
[07:32] aki
    before we crush Hakone Yumoto.
[07:34] aki
    And we'll drive the rest of the Battle
    Lovers to destruction in the process.
[07:37] haru
    Yes.
[07:38] haru
    We've found a lot of good
    monster candidates this time.
[07:47] yu
    But I feel kind of excited and good!
[07:51] yu
    Time for a cuddlefest!
[07:57] yu
    And...
[07:59] yu
    I want to cuddle you senpai, too!
[08:02] yu
    Senpai...
[08:03] yu
    I love you!
[08:05] ryu
    No way!
[08:06] at
    There's something definitely
    weird in that chocolate...
[08:09] en
    Anyway, we'd better run.
[08:10] io
    Good idea!
SIGN    Earth Defense Club (lol)
[08:11] yu
    Senpai!
[08:15] yu
    Senpai! Where are you?
[08:18] yu
    En-chan-senpai?
[08:19] at
    Hey, he singled you out.
[08:21] yu
    Found you!
[08:23] yu
    You always act so indifferent,
[08:25] yu
    but I know you really care
    about us, En-chan-senpai!
[08:28] yu
    I love you for it!
[08:30] at
    He confessed his love while cuddling him...
[08:32] io
    Just hearing it is embarrassing.
[08:35] ryu
    Yumoto's got passion.
[08:36] en
    Yumoto! Atsushi's right there! There!
[08:38] at
    En-chan!
[08:39] io
    Selling out his friend?
[08:40] yu
    Yeah! Atsushi-senpai!
[08:40] at
    Hey, Yumoto, calm down!
[08:43] yu
    Atsushi-senpai, I think you're the
    reason the Defense Club exists!
[08:47] yu
    You're like a mom, but I think you
    secretly have a dark side, too!
[08:52] yu
    I love that about you!
[08:53] at
    Stop it!
[08:54] en
    Well, that sucked.
[08:56] ryu
    You know, Senpai, you sold
    out your best friend.
[08:59] en
    Atsushi would have done the same thing.
[09:01] io
    I can't deny it.
[09:02] at
    Yumoto, that's enough.
[09:04] at
    Look. Ryuu's right there!
[09:05] ryu
    Are you kidding me?!
[09:06] yu
    Ryuu-senpai...
[09:06] ryu
    I'm outta here!
[09:09] yu
    You say you love girls,
[09:12] yu
    but I know you treasure us most of all.
[09:17] yu
    And I love you too, Ryuu-senpai!
[09:20] ryu
    Cut it out!
[09:21] en
    Is it just my imagination,
    or is Ryuu enjoying this?
[09:24] io
    I can't look directly at it.
[09:26] at
    But you're up next, Io.
[09:27] yu
    Io-senpai!
[09:28] io
    No, I believe I'll pass!
[09:31] yu
    Io-senpai, I know you value money,
[09:34] yu
    but you value the love we
    share the most! I love you!
[09:39] io
    I-I get it! So please, stop it!
[09:41] ryu
    Io's not used to that kind of thing.
[09:44] at
    Yeah, he's red as a beet.
[09:46] en
    What are we gonna do about this?
[09:48] wom
    I just investigated,
[09:49] wom
    and those chocolates
[09:50] wom
    have the chemical substance
     capsicum inside them!
[09:55] wom
    We just have to wait for
    his excitement to wear off!
[09:57] en
    So when will it wear off?
[10:00] wom
    I'm afraid I don't know...
[10:03] yu
    Come on, let's have another cuddle party!
[10:08] yu
    Senpai, wait for me!
[10:13] haru
    It's all going as planned, I see.
[10:15] aki
    How are you feeling, Hakone Yumoto?
[10:17] aki
    Amazing, right?
[10:19] yu
    Yeah, just amazing!
[10:21] haru
    He's stupid.
[10:22] haru
    He's far too stupid.
[10:23] aki
    How could someone like him
    get Gora-san all to himself?
[10:27] ryu
    Does that mean you're the guys who
    sent us those weird chocolates?
[10:32] haru
    Yeah, that's right!
[10:33] haru
    Because you're in our way, to be honest!
[10:35] aki
    How dare you ignore our declaration
    of war for a month and a half!

    What does that even mean?

    Well, I'm an idol, at least...
[12:11] io
    I can say with confidence
    that I am not an idol.
[12:15] wom
    But what we do know
[12:17] wom
    is that the VEPPer are the
    ones sending the monsters!
[12:20] wom
    We should probably fight...
[12:22] en
    Sure, but it doesn't seem like
    they're trying to destroy Earth
[12:24] en
    or humanity like the
    Conquest Club from before.
[12:28] en
    I say we ignore them.
[12:29] at
    Yeah, ignore them.

    Agreed.
