**[00:25] Saki**
A stepbrother is essentially a stranger.
**[00:34] Saki**
And that's perfectly normal, because even
if we suddenly become siblings one day,
**[00:38] Saki**
we have no shared experience
living together.
**[00:51] Sign**
My Little Sister and I Are In Love
**[00:54] Yuta**
A stepsister is essentially a stranger.
**[00:59] Yuta**
Novels and movies like to indulge
**[01:01] ---**
in the idea that because they
aren't related by blood,
**[01:03] Yuta**
that they can simply fall in love and
have a normal male-female relationship.
**[01:09] Yuta**
But things that happen in fiction and things
that happen in real life are very different.
**[01:18] Saki**
People say that all siblings begin as strangers,
**[01:22] Saki**
but in the case of step-siblings,
they start off as strangers
**[01:26] Saki**
and stay strangers until the very end.

Episode 1: I'm Home with a Stranger
**[02:50] Taichi**
Guess what. I've decided to remarry.
**[02:53] Yuta**
Huh?
**[02:54] Taichi**
She's a girl who worked at
a bar my boss took me to.
**[02:58] Taichi**
She took care of me when I was dead drunk.
**[03:01] Yuta**
That sounds like a scam.
**[03:04] Taichi**
Don't worry. Akiko-san
isn't like that at all.
**[03:09] Taichi**
You'll see that when you
meet her tonight, Yuta.
**[03:12] Yuta**
Tonight?
**[03:13] Taichi**
Yeah. Ouch!
**[03:15] Taichi**
I'll introduce you to her.
**[03:17] ---**
We'll meet up after your work.
**[03:21] Yuta**
Another rash decision.
**[03:30] Taichi**
Ow!
**[03:30] Yuta**
Are you ready for that?
**[03:33] Taichi**
Hmm?
**[03:34] Taichi**
What's that now?
**[03:38] Taichi**
Too hot!
**[03:39] Yuta**
As long as it makes you
happy, I'm fine with it.
**[03:42] Yuta**
I'll just keep doing my usual thing.
**[03:45] Taichi**
Your usual thing won't cut it, though.
**[03:47] ---**
You're gonna have a new little sister.
**[03:50] Yuta**
A little sister?
**[03:51] Taichi**
Yeah, a little sister.
**[03:53] Taichi**
Akiko-san's daughter.
**[04:05] Akiko**
Pleased to meet you. I'm Ayase Akiko.
**[04:08] Akiko**
Thanks for coming out. I know
you're busy at your job.
**[04:11] Yuta**
Huh? Oh, it's all right.
**[04:14] Yuta**
I'm the son, Asamura Yuta.
**[04:19] Akiko**
Go ahead and introduce yourself.
**[04:22] Saki**
Nice to meet you.
**[04:24] ---**
I'm Ayase Saki.
**[04:25] Yuta**
Huh?
**[04:27] Yuta**
Dad...
**[04:28] Taichi**
Yeah. Saki-chan is actually
the same age as you.
**[04:32] Taichi**
She's seventeen this year.
Second year in high school.
**[04:35] Taichi**
But your birthday is a week before hers.
**[04:39] Akiko**
I do apologize for the confusion.
**[04:41] Akiko**
Now that she's older, Saki just won't
let me take any pictures of her.
**[04:46] Saki**
Maybe it's just the way I look,
but I'm not very photogenic.
**[04:54] Saki**
But I'm actually pretty relieved.
**[04:56] Yuta**
Huh?
**[04:57] Saki**
Since we're going to start living together,
**[05:00] ---**
I was worried you might be a scary guy.
**[05:05] Yuta**
Oh, I wonder about that.
**[05:06] ---**
Truly scary people often look very kind.
**[05:10] Saki**
I hear you work almost every
day to save up for college.
**[05:14] Saki**
And that you get really good grades.
**[05:17] Yuta**
A lot of criminals are
actually quite intelligent.
**[05:28] Saki**
Hey, before my mom and your dad come out,
**[05:31] ---**
there's something I want to talk about.
**[05:34] Yuta**
Something you don't want them to hear?
**[05:35] Saki**
Yeah. Or more specifically,
something I can only say to you.
**[05:40] Yuta**
Did I really earn your trust
over such a brief time?
**[05:44] ---**
I'm impressed with myself.
**[05:50] Saki**
That sense of humor, the way
you talk, the way you act...
**[05:55] Saki**
none of those things come
off as really intense.
**[05:59] Saki**
So I thought maybe,
**[06:01] ---**
you'd be able to truly
understand what I'm about to say.
**[06:17] Saki**
I don't expect anything from you,
**[06:21] ---**
so I don't want you to expect
anything from me either.
**[06:26] Saki**
You really do understand what I mean by that, right?
**[06:37] Yuta**
That's a relief.
**[06:42] Yuta**
I'm totally relieved.
**[06:44] ---**
For the first time tonight.
**[06:52] Saki**
Yeah, me too.
**[06:54] ---**
For the first time.
**[06:57] Yuta**
Let's maintain this kind of stance
going forward, Ayase-san.
**[07:02] Saki**
Thank you, Asamura-kun.
**[07:11] Taichi**
Yuta?
**[07:13] ---**
Have you seen the spray?
***SIGN*** June 7 (Sunday)
**[07:15] ---**
The one for odors?
**[07:16] Yuta**
It's next to the TV.
**[07:18] ---**
You left it there after using
it on the curtain yesterday.
**[07:20] Taichi**
Oh, I did? Oh.
**[07:24] Taichi**
Thanks.
**[07:26] Yuta**
Why are you acting so nervous at this point?"
**[07:28] Taichi**
Well, I put off cleaning the bedroom,
but once I started I began to worry.
**[07:34] Taichi**
It'd be a real downer if
she tells me it stinks.
**[07:36] Yuta**
You're so sensitive.
**[07:37] Taichi**
Hey, when you're my age, this sort
of thing is a critical issue!
**[07:43] Taichi**
Yuta!
**[07:44] Yuta**
Yeah.
**[07:49] Akiko**
I brought a few things to say
thank you for your hospitality!
**[07:54] Yuta**
Oh.
**[07:56] ---**
Um...
**[07:57] Saki**
You don't need to worry about it.
**[07:59] Saki**
My mom can never say no, so she bought
everything that they recommended to her.
**[08:04] Akiko**
Hold on, Saki.
**[08:05] ---**
That makes it sound like
I'm a failure as an adult.
**[08:08] Saki**
But it's true, right?
**[08:12] Akiko**
Hmm, what a lovely citrus scent!
**[08:15] Saki**
You actually keep things pretty clean.
**[08:17] Yuta**
We've spent the last few
days cleaning like—
**[08:19] Akiko**
It's just like Taishi-san told me.
**[08:21] ---**
You really are very neat and tidy!
**[08:24] Yuta**
They say that to develop a healthy mind,
**[08:26] ---**
you must first develop a healthy environment.
**[08:29] Yuta**
Cleaning to eliminate every last speck
of dust is an Asamura family tradition.
**[08:34] Saki**
Sounds like a kind of ominous
family tradition to me.
**[08:37] Akiko**
Taishi-san is such an impressive man!
**[08:40] Taichi**
Yeah, I'm okay. I can do this. Here I go!
**[08:43] Taichi**
Hey! Akiko-san! Saki-chan!
**[08:50] Taichi**
Welcome to our humble home!
**[08:53] Taichi**
F-From now on, let's all live
happily under the same roof!
***SIGN*** Asamura / Ayase
**[09:06] Akiko & Saki**
Thank you very much!
**[09:12] Yuta**
It's right over here.
**[09:14] Yuta**
We've prepared a bed and curtains for you,
**[09:17] Yuta**
but weren't sure what colors you like,
so we can change them if necessary.
**[09:21] Yuta**
We placed the desk near the window for now.
**[09:25] ---**
If you'd like to move it, please let us know.
**[09:28] Saki**
Thanks.
**[09:29] ---**
It's a big room.
**[09:31] Yuta**
Oh, I think it's quite average.
**[09:35] Saki**
My old place was a worn-out apartment.
**[09:38] ---**
One six-tatami room.
**[09:40] Saki**
I didn't even have my own bedroom.
**[09:42] Yuta**
I see.
**[09:43] ---**
So did you both put down futons and
sleep in the same room... perhaps?
**[09:47] Saki**
No. My mom worked at night, so we
were living on opposite schedules.
**[09:52] Saki**
When I slept, I had the place to myself.
**[09:54] Yuta**
Huh.
**[09:56] ---**
But I'm sure that was
comfortable in its own way.
**[10:00] Yuta**
I apologize that you now have
to share a home with two men.
**[10:04] Saki**
I don't care about that,
**[10:06] ---**
but there is one thing.
**[10:09] Yuta**
What might that be?
**[10:11] Saki**
That.
**[10:13] Saki**
Why are you talking so polite to me?
**[10:17] Yuta**
Why? Well, that's...
**[10:19] Saki**
We're the same age, so why
can't you loosen up a bit?
**[10:23] Yuta**
It might be exactly because
we're the same age.
**[10:26] Saki**
But I mean, if you're talking
to classmates and friends,
**[10:29] Saki**
isn't it weird to talk that
formally all the time?
**[10:32] Yuta**
Maybe from a winner's point of view.
**[10:35] Saki**
You think so?
**[10:37] Saki**
I'm not in any position to criticize you,
**[10:41] ---**
but if you're just trying to be nice to me,
**[10:44] Saki**
I don't need that at all.
**[10:46] Yuta**
That's not exactly what I'm...
**[10:53] Yuta**
But this seems like something we should
be absolutely clear on, so I'll ask,
**[10:59] Yuta**
would you actually prefer that I
drop the formal language with you?
**[11:05] Saki**
Yeah. To be honest, I think casual
talk is a lot more relaxing.
**[11:11] Saki**
I'm not really someone who deserves
that much respect anyway.
**[11:17] Yuta**
Okay.
**[11:19] Yuta**
Then I'll drop the formalities.
**[11:21] Saki**
Just like that, huh.
**[11:24] Yuta**
It might be tough for me to treat
you the same as a close friend,
**[11:27] Yuta**
but I appreciate you being real
with me and keeping things simple.
**[11:31] Yuta**
It's easier for me too.
**[11:33] Saki**
Sure.
**[11:38] Saki**
That's exactly what I expected.
**[11:40] Saki**
It's kind of a big help if we can
smooth things out this easily.
**[11:45] Yuta**
Smooth things out, huh.
**[11:47] ---**
That's a good way of putting it.
**[11:50] Saki**
When I talked to my friends about
this at school, they laughed at me.
**[11:53] Saki**
"What is that, some kind of contract?"
**[11:56] ---**
They wouldn't take me seriously at all.
**[11:59] Yuta**
That must've been tough.
**[12:03] Saki**
Yeah.
**[12:04] ---**
So I cut ties with all but one of them.
**[12:07] Yuta**
Sorry to hear that.
**[12:09] Saki**
It's okay.
**[12:10] ---**
I only cut off people who weren't
worth keeping around anyway.
**[12:14] Saki**
I can't read their minds.
**[12:16] ---**
And if they never make any
effort to try to tell me,
**[12:19] Saki**
I can't go tiptoeing around
their feelings all the time.
**[12:21] ---**
It's a waste of time.
**[12:26] Yuta**
Want some help unloading your luggage?
**[12:34] Saki**
That's really kind of you.
**[14:03] Sign**
Asamura / Ayase
**[14:04] Yuta**
Oh, wait.
**[14:07] Yuta**
Ayase-san, do you go to Suisei?
**[14:09] Saki**
Yeah, I do.
**[14:11] Saki**
Are you surprised that a flashy
girl like me goes to prep school?
**[14:15] Yuta**
Uh, no...
**[14:17] ---**
Actually I go there too.
**[14:20] Saki**
Oh.
**[14:21] Yuta**
Sorry about that.
**[14:24] Saki**
You don't have anything to apologize for.
**[14:27] Yuta**
But at school, I'll do my best
to pretend I don't know you.
**[14:33] Saki**
I don't care.
**[14:34] ---**
I'm fine either way.
**[14:39] Saki**
Then again, it might actually be better
for you if we do that, Asamura-kun.
**[14:44] Yuta**
Huh? Do you mean...
**[14:49] Yuta**
Sorry. Um...
**[14:51] Saki**
Just answer it.
**[14:52] ---**
It doesn't bother me if
you talk on the phone.
**[14:56] Yuta**
Thank you.
**[15:01] Yuta**
Hello?
**[15:03] Yuta**
Ah, yes. Sure.
**[15:07] Yuta**
Oh, today?
**[15:11] Sign**
Staff Asamura
**[15:14] Shiori**
Hey there, my junior coworker.
**[15:14] Sign**
Staff Yomiuri
**[15:16] Shiori**
I noticed that you've been
smelling of girl all day long.
**[15:19] Yuta**
Huh?
**[15:20] Shiori**
Did you get a girlfriend or something?
**[15:22] Yuta**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[15:25] ---**
But do I really smell?
**[15:27] Shiori**
Yeah, it's really strong.
**[15:28] Shiori**
How much snuggling would it take
to pick up that much of an odor?
**[15:32] Yuta**
I think I should be leaving early.
**[15:34] Shiori**
Aww, I didn't mean it!
Don't leave me here alone!
**[15:39] Yuta**
I was just kidding anyway.
**[15:42] Shiori**
You told me before, right?
About your new little sister.
**[15:45] Shiori**
I figured she must have moved in by now.
**[15:47] ---**
And... so? Is she cute?
**[15:49] Yuta**
She's actually... quite beautiful.
**[15:52] Shiori**
Whoo-hoo!
**[15:54] Shiori**
Living with a beautiful woman, huh.
**[15:56] ---**
It's the springtime of your life.
**[15:58] Yuta**
Not a thing is going to happen.
**[16:00] Shiori**
Something naughty might happen though, right?
**[16:03] Yuta**
You have a habit of blurting
out bad dad jokes.
**[16:06] ---**
You might want to fix that.
**[16:08] Shiori**
After going to an all-girls middle school,
high school, and college, I can't help it.
**[16:12] Yuta**
What an awful way to slander girls' schools.
**[16:17] Yuta**
But to be honest,
**[16:19] ---**
it isn't really the time for me to
be entertaining thoughts like that.
**[16:22] Shiori**
Hmm?
**[16:24] Yuta**
It stresses me out.
**[16:26] ---**
How are we supposed to act
as brother and sister?
**[16:32] Shiori**
Well for you, junior, it's probably
best if you just act naturally.
**[16:37] Shiori**
Good evening!
**[18:04] Yuta**
Uh...
**[18:06] Yuta**
I'm home.
**[18:07] Saki**
Ah... Mm-hmm.
**[18:11] Saki**
Oh, sorry.
**[18:13] ---**
Nobody's really said "I'm home" to me before,
**[18:18] Saki**
so I wasn't sure how to respond.
**[18:25] Saki**
You've got a serious look on your face.
**[18:30] Saki**
Don't worry about it.
**[18:31] ---**
It's not like I was treated
really badly or anything.
**[18:40] Saki**
My mom would come home when I was at
school to sleep and do housework,
**[18:46] Saki**
and she'd be at work by the time I got home.
**[18:50] Saki**
That was just our normal routine.
**[18:57] Yuta**
It seemed like you two get along.
**[18:59] Saki**
Huh? Oh. Well, we are family.
**[19:06] Saki**
Today we went shopping for the
first time in a long while.
**[19:09] ---**
It was pretty fun.
**[19:13] Yuta**
Really?
**[19:14] Saki**
Yeah.
**[19:17] Yuta**
You haven't taken a bath yet, right?
**[19:19] Saki**
No.
**[19:21] Yuta**
Who should go first?
**[20:07] bath control panel**
*The bath is now filling with water.*
**[20:17] bath control panel**
*The water temperature has been changed.*
**[20:46] Saki**
Yeah?
**[20:49] Yuta**
I'm done.
**[20:51] Yuta**
The bath is all yours.
**[20:55] Saki**
Mm-hmm.
**[20:59] Yuta**
Good night, Ayase-san.
**[21:02] Saki**
Thank you.
**[21:05] ---**
Good night, Asamura-kun.

***SIGN*** Monday, June 8th
**[00:47] Saki**
Good morning.
**[00:49] Yuta**
Good morning. Did you sleep all right?
**[00:51] Saki**
Yeah. Thanks for the fresh bathwater.
**[00:55] Yuta**
Oh, sure.
**[00:56] Saki**
The water was perfect. I appreciate it.
**[01:00] Yuta**
Sure.
**[01:01] Saki**
But you don't have to do it again tonight.
**[01:03] Yuta**
Huh?
**[01:04] Saki**
It's a waste of water.
**[01:08] Saki**
Okay, I'm off to school.
**[01:10] Yuta**
Oh... Okay.
**[02:56] student**
Yo, did you see that horror movie?
**[02:58] student**
Yeah, I did!
**[02:59] student**
Really?
**[02:59] student**
The one everybody's talking about?
**[03:00] student**
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
**[03:01] student**
Hey, I haven't seen it yet.
**[03:03] student**
Oh, come on! You gotta go see it!
**[03:03] student**
No way! Go see it already!
***SIGN*** Episode 2 "A Deal and a Fried Egg"
**[03:04] student**
I'm not really into horror movies, though.
**[03:06] student**
Jeez, dude...
**[03:13] Maru**
Give it up, man.
**[03:15] Yuta**
Maru.
**[03:15] Maru**
Ayase, right? I know it's not cool to
interfere in someone else's love life,
**[03:20] Maru**
but I'd advise against it.
**[03:22] Yuta**
It's not like that.
**[03:24] Yuta**
I'm not good enough for
a babe like her, anyway.
**[03:28] Maru**
You got it backwards. If you went out
with Ayase, it'd make *you* look bad.
**[03:31] Yuta**
What do you mean?
**[03:33] Maru**
Well, let's just say I've heard
some unpleasant rumors.
**[03:36] Yuta**
Rumors?
**[03:39] Maru**
That she's a working girl.
You know, selling herself.
**[03:43] Yuta**
Huh?!
**[03:44] Maru**
She's got blonde hair, pierced ears,
**[03:47] Maru**
and a nasty look on her face
that always keeps people away.
**[03:50] Maru**
It sounds like she's a troublemaker
who doesn't really fit in with her class.
**[03:54] Maru**
Some people even swear they've
seen her leaving the love hotel district.
**[03:58] Yuta**
It's not like you to believe
rumors so easily, Maru.
**[04:02] Maru**
One of the guys in the
baseball club asked her out.
**[04:06] Maru**
Want to know what she told him?
"I'm just as bad as the rumors say."
**[04:11] Maru**
"I have no intention of dating anyone."
**[04:13] Yuta**
Maybe he was just mad
over being shot down?
**[04:16] Maru**
I doubt it.
**[04:17] Maru**
I keep hearing the same story
from guys in other clubs, too.
**[04:21] Yuta**
Each claim by itself is hearsay, but when
they start to pile up, it sounds true, huh?
**[04:27] Maru**
Yeah, basically.
**[04:33] Yuta**
Pandora...
**[04:34] Maru**
Anyway, how's it going?
**[04:36] Yuta**
Huh?
**[04:37] Maru**
You've got a new little sister now, right, *bro*?
**[04:40] Yuta**
Ah... yeah.
**[04:44] Maru**
Crap. Gotta go change.
**[04:46] Yuta**
Huh? Oh, right.
**[04:51] Maaya**
Okay, here I go!
**[04:53] Maaya**
My secret weapon, the Great Celestial Serve!
**[04:55] Maaya**
Take... that!
**[04:58] Yumi**
Whoa!
**[05:00] girl student 1**
Double fault.
**[05:01] Yumi**
Hey, where were you aiming, Maaya?
**[05:05] Maaya**
Sorry 'bout that!
**[05:06] Yumi**
Jeez. Why'd you have to hit it so hard?
**[05:09] Maaya**
Because it looks cooler that way! Tee-hee!
**[05:11] Yumi**
"Tee-hee," my butt, you little punk!
**[05:14] Maaya**
Hey! Wait, wait!
**[05:16] Yumi**
Now I gotcha!
**[05:16] Maaya**
I'm anti-violence!
**[05:18] Yumi**
Oh, yeah? Time for tickle torture!
**[05:22] Maaya**
I give, I give!
**[05:24] Maaya**
Please forgive me!
**[05:26] Yuta**
You skipping?
**[05:27] Maaya**
I regret my actions!
**[05:29] Saki**
You scared me. Why are you talking to me here?
**[05:29] Yumi**
Do it right this time, okay?
**[05:32] Maaya**
But I am! I have been from the start!
**[05:33] Yuta**
When someone I know is skipping, I get worried.
**[05:35] Yumi**
No, you aren't!
**[05:37] Maaya**
All right!
**[05:37] Saki**
So the big brother wants to
lecture his little sister, huh?
**[05:38] Yumi**
Okay, come on!
**[05:40] Maaya**
There!
**[05:42] Yuta**
I'm not in any position
to be lecturing anyone.
**[05:45] Yuta**
But I didn't know you'd picked tennis, too.
**[05:46] Yumi**
Aw, come on! Where are you hitting it? Jeez.
**[05:49] Saki**
Maaya said we should pick the same sport.
**[05:52] Maaya**
One more time!
**[05:53] Saki**
Of course, that wasn't my only reason.
**[05:54] Yumi**
Okay.
**[05:56] Maaya**
Here it comes!
**[05:57] Yuta**
You mean Narasaka-san, right?
You two are friends?
**[05:58] Yumi**
Hey! Again with that? Jeez!
**[06:01] Saki**
We are. Although I think Maaya's
pretty much friends with everyone.
**[06:07] Yuta**
You might be right.
**[06:08] Saki**
Why did you pick tennis, Asamura-kun?
**[06:13] Yuta**
It wasn't a very admirable reason.
**[06:16] Saki**
I don't mind. My other reason
is pretty pathetic, too.
**[06:22] Yuta**
Because there aren't any team matches.
**[06:26] Yuta**
I don't like depending on anyone
or anyone depending on me.
**[06:30] Saki**
Huh. We really do think alike.
**[06:34] Yuta**
How about you?
**[06:35] Saki**
I didn't want to play a team
sport in the first place.
**[06:39] Saki**
I usually try to keep my
distance from everyone.
**[06:42] Yuta**
Do you, maybe... have trouble
fitting in with your class?
**[06:46] Saki**
You surprised?
**[06:47] Yuta**
Well, I always imagined that stylish girls
like you would be the center of attention.
**[06:52] Saki**
I don't really mind it, though.
**[06:55] Saki**
If people leave me alone,
that just gives me more time to myself.
**[07:02] Yuta**
Like time to listen to music?
**[07:04] Saki**
Huh?
**[07:05] Saki**
Oh.
**[07:07] Saki**
Yeah, I guess.
**[07:12] Akiko**
Oh, Yuta-kun!
**[07:14] Yuta**
Ah, I just got back.
**[07:16] Akiko**
Welcome home. I made dinner for you.
**[07:20] Yuta**
Thank you very much.
**[07:23] Yuta**
Sorry to make you do all that before work.
**[07:25] Akiko**
What are you talking about?
You don't need to worry about that.
**[07:29] Yuta**
But dealing with customers
must be exhausting...
**[07:32] Saki**
Well, I do deal with customers,
but I'm actually the bartender.
**[07:37] Yuta**
Oh, is that right?
**[07:40] Akiko**
I'd better get going. Let's talk about
dinner arrangements another time.
**[07:44] Yuta**
Ah, all right.
**[07:46] Akiko**
Please keep an eye on Saki for me.
**[07:49] Yuta**
Sure.
**[07:52] Akiko**
Well, I'm off.
**[07:54] Yuta**
See you later.
**[08:10] Yuta**
Welcome home.
**[08:22] Yuta**
You can come in.
**[08:28] Saki**
I'm home.
**[08:29] Yuta**
Huh?
**[08:30] Yuta**
Oh, right. Welcome back.
**[08:35] Saki**
Oh, were you studying?
**[08:37] Saki**
This is bad for your eyes.
**[08:39] Yuta**
Thanks.
**[08:41] Saki**
You're able to juggle work and school?
**[08:44] Yuta**
Is that really so strange?
**[08:50] Saki**
Listen...
**[08:52] Saki**
Do you know any easy part-time
jobs that pay really well?
**[08:57] Saki**
I need more money, but I don't
want to waste a lot of time.
**[09:02] Saki**
Maybe like an hour or two of
work for 10,000 yen or more.
**[09:06] Saki**
Think that's doable?
**[09:07] Yuta**
Uh, well, I don't think you'll find
any normal jobs like that.
**[09:12] Saki**
Really? I guess I gotta keep selling, then.
**[09:16] Yuta**
Selling?!
**[09:17] Saki**
I read in a book that if you want to make
good money, you should sell yourself.
**[09:24] Yuta**
This might be really rude to say, but...
**[09:28] Saki**
I don't mind. Go ahead.
I'm the one who asked, anyway.
**[09:32] Yuta**
I think you should take
better care of your body.
**[09:38] Saki**
I already take good care of myself.
**[09:41] Saki**
That's exactly why I want
to earn lots of money.
**[09:47] Yuta**
Would you be able to say
that in front of your mom?
**[09:51] Saki**
Sure.
**[09:52] Saki**
It'd probably make her happy.
She'd be like, "You've really grown up!"
**[09:55] Yuta**
What a way to raise your kid...
**[09:58] Saki**
It wasn't like that for you?
**[10:00] Saki**
Wasn't your father thrilled
when you first got into it?
**[10:05] Yuta**
If he was, that'd be a huge problem.
**[10:08] Yuta**
But wait, why are you talking
like I'm doing it, too?
**[10:13] Saki**
Didn't you say something
about a job yesterday?
**[10:17] Yuta**
Huh?
**[10:20] Yuta**
I'm so sorry! I really am!
**[10:23] Saki**
Don't worry about it.
Your food's getting cold.
**[10:27] Saki**
I'm not surprised you
were confused about that.
**[10:29] Saki**
I know what people think.
I know they wonder why I dress like this.
**[10:34] Saki**
It's my armed mode.
**[10:36] Yuta**
Huh?
**[10:37] Saki**
For me, these clothes are the armaments
that help me survive in society.
**[10:43] Yuta**
Oh...
**[10:44] Yuta**
So do they raise your defense stats?
**[10:46] Yuta**
Or let you dual attack or something?
**[10:50] Saki**
You're pretty funny.
**[10:52] Yuta**
Am I?
**[10:54] Saki**
I mean, I guess that's more or less right.
**[10:58] Saki**
We face battles all the time.
Even if you don't see it.
**[11:04] Saki**
Did you see my mom today?
**[11:07] Yuta**
Yeah.
**[11:08] Saki**
Doesn't she look pretty when she goes to work?
**[11:11] Yuta**
Well... yeah. She sure does.
***SIGN*** Saki and Yuta-kun,
Heat this up and eat it together, okay?
**[11:16] Saki**
You know, she only graduated high school.
**[11:19] Yuta**
Oh, really?
**[11:22] Saki**
Doesn't that bother you?
**[11:24] Yuta**
No, not really.
**[11:25] Saki**
Huh. You sure are level-headed, Asamura-kun.
**[11:31] Saki**
I've heard plenty from people
who aren't so neutral.
**[11:34] Saki**
A beautiful woman with a high school
education who works in nightlife...
**[11:38] Saki**
People say she's just stupid and
weaponizes her looks for everything.
**[11:44] Saki**
I've heard people say that
about my mom so many times.
**[11:49] Yuta**
That's nonsense.
**[11:50] Saki**
Right? It really is.
**[11:54] Yuta**
Yeah.
**[11:55] Saki**
And it's so dirty when people try to
use that kind of logic to corner you.
**[12:01] Yuta**
How do you mean?
**[12:02] Saki**
If you're smart but not pretty,
they label you a snobby, overeducated woman.
**[12:07] Saki**
If you have good looks but aren't smart,
**[12:09] Saki**
they say you're a gold digger
who's using her body to get ahead.
**[12:12] Saki**
If a pretty woman relies on a man,
they say she's a parasite who has it easy.
**[12:17] Saki**
But if she works hard for herself, they call
her a pathetic loser with no man to rely on.
**[12:22] Yuta**
I see what you mean.
**[12:25] Saki**
So anyway, that's why I arm
myself with these clothes.
**[12:29] Saki**
I need my look to be perfect
to make me stand out
**[12:33] Saki**
before I have the strength to be
perfect at school and work, too.
**[12:38] Saki**
This is the first step.
**[12:43] Yuta**
Are you okay with that?
It sounds utterly exhausting.
**[12:47] Saki**
Even if it takes tons of energy, as long
as I can prove them wrong, it's worth it.
**[12:52] Yuta**
*Prove them wrong, huh?*
**[12:54] Yuta**
*But who?*
**[13:09] Saki**
Aren't you like me, too?
**[13:16] Yuta**
I'm not as strong as you are.
**[13:20] Saki**
But deep down,
**[13:22] Saki**
you don't want anyone relying on you
or to rely on anyone else, right?
**[13:27] Saki**
If you want to free yourself
of those expectations,
**[13:29] Saki**
you need to be strong enough
to get by in life alone.
**[13:34] Yuta**
Is that why you're looking for a job?
**[13:38] Yuta**
So you can live independently,
without relying on anyone else?
**[13:43] Saki**
Correct.
**[13:46] Saki**
I'm sorry.
**[14:00] Yuta**
That was good.
**[14:02] Yuta**
I'll see if I can get you
some info about jobs.
**[14:04] Saki**
Huh?
**[14:05] Yuta**
My senpai at work might have some ideas.
**[14:08] Yuta**
I'll ask her tomorrow.
**[14:09] Saki**
Thanks.
**[14:11] Saki**
But I don't want to make you
do everything for me.
**[14:14] Yuta**
It's all right.
**[14:16] Saki**
No, it isn't. At least not to me.
**[14:24] Yuta**
Okay, how about miso soup?
**[14:27] Saki**
Huh?
**[14:28] Yuta**
I want you to make me miso soup every day.
**[14:32] Saki**
Is that your idea of a love confession?
**[14:33] Yuta**
Uh, no. That's not what I meant.
**[14:37] Yuta**
But today was the first time in years
I had miso soup that wasn't instant.
**[14:42] Yuta**
It was really delicious.
**[14:45] Yuta**
But I know Akiko-san has to work,
so that'd be asking a lot of her...
**[14:51] Saki**
Fine by me.
**[14:54] Saki**
I don't really mind cooking.
**[14:59] Yuta**
I'll look for job leads to help you
become independent, Ayase-san.
**[15:04] Saki**
Okay. And I'll cook for you, Asamura-kun.
***SIGN*** Tuesday, June 9th
**[15:13] Taichi**
Yuta, you won't believe this!
**[15:15] Yuta**
What's wrong? You're gonna wake Akiko-san up.
**[15:19] Taichi**
But S-Saki-chan is...
**[15:23] Saki**
Oh, good morning.
**[15:25] Yuta**
Why are you making breakfast?
**[15:27] Saki**
Why? We made a deal yesterday.
**[15:31] Yuta**
Yeah, but that was about dinner.
**[15:34] Saki**
I figured I might as well make breakfast, too.
**[15:38] Saki**
It's my personal policy
to give more than I take.
**[15:43] Yuta**
I see.
***SIGN*** Asamura Ayase
**[15:47] Taichi**
Saki-chan, thanks for breakfast!
**[15:48] Taichi**
It was delicious! I'm so impressed!
**[15:51] Taichi**
I'm off now!
**[15:54] Saki**
You don't like it?
**[15:56] Yuta**
Uh, no, it's not that.
**[15:59] Saki**
You can be honest with me.
**[16:00] Yuta**
No, really. I'm just used to eating
fried eggs with soy sauce.
**[16:07] Saki**
Oh, really?
**[16:09] Saki**
We've always used salt and pepper. Sorry.
**[16:13] Yuta**
It's fine! You had no way of knowing.
**[16:16] Yuta**
It's my fault for not telling you.
**[16:20] Saki**
From now on, I'll try to ask ahead of time.
**[16:23] Yuta**
Okay. I'll try to keep you informed
about stuff, too.
**[16:27] Saki**
Okay.
**[16:29] Shiori**
I had no idea you were so into
self-improvement, my sweet junior!
***SIGN*** Super Moneymaking
**[16:35] Yuta**
Huh? Oh.
**[16:38] Yuta**
No, this is something else. How do I explain?
**[16:41] Shiori**
Hmm?
**[16:42] Yuta**
I want to live on my own
after graduating high school,
**[16:45] Yuta**
so I need to save up for that.
**[16:47] Shiori**
Oh, no wonder.
**[16:49] Yuta**
Now that I have a little sister at my age,
**[16:52] Yuta**
living at home might get a little cramped.
Especially since we're the same age.
**[16:57] Shiori**
I can understand wanting to live on your own,
**[17:00] Shiori**
but it isn't actually
because of your sister, right?
**[17:03] Yuta**
It isn't?
**[17:06] Shiori**
Well, I guess it could be,
but it just seems like a waste.
**[17:09] Shiori**
Having a sister your age
could be a great asset!
**[17:28] Shiori**
If you can't get by on your own, I think
it's perfectly fine to rely on someone else.
**[17:38] Yuta**
Even if I become a burden on them?
**[17:41] Shiori**
You know, some people actually
prefer women who are a burden.
**[17:46] Yuta**
Well, that's just personal preference.
**[17:49] Shiori**
It definitely is.
**[17:51] Shiori**
But listen, that's what money is all about.

It's nice if you have it,
but if not, that's fine, too.
**[17:57] Shiori**
Just find someone to take care of you.
**[18:00] Yuta**
Is that all there is to it?
**[18:04] Shiori**
Even rich CEOs are more dependent on
other people than you might imagine, son.
**[18:10] Yuta**
Don't talk like you know. It's not a good look.
**[18:13] Shiori**
You don't think a charming college girl like
myself would have a sugar daddy or two?
**[18:22] Shiori**
Just kidding!
**[18:25] Yuta**
You dumbass.
**[18:27] Shiori**
Well, anyway, why don't you rethink
depending on your family a little more?
**[18:36] Saki**
The right way to depend on people?
**[18:38] Yuta**
Sorry.
**[18:39] Yuta**
I'm still looking for leads on jobs,
but I thought this might be useful, too.
**[18:46] Saki**
I didn't know you had any
close female friends.
**[18:50] Yuta**
That's what you got from this?
**[18:52] Saki**
I'm rooting for you.
**[18:53] Yuta**
For what?
**[18:55] Saki**
She sounds like the lovely, friendly,
very intelligent older sister type.
**[18:59] Yuta**
Eh...
**[19:04] Saki**
I think what she said is true.
**[19:08] Yuta**
Yeah.
**[19:09] Saki**
But I still want to become self-reliant.
**[19:15] Yuta**
You don't feel like you can
depend on me and my dad?
**[19:20] Saki**
No, I know you're wonderful people.
I think you're both very dependable.
**[19:29] Saki**
But...
**[19:31] Saki**
this whole thing might have been easier
if you were terrible people instead.
**[19:36] Yuta**
Huh?
**[19:38] Saki**
Sorry. Thanks for the food.

You can't do that.

You think I can just let it go when you

Sorry.

I wonder if it's gonna start soon.

It looks fine, though.

Sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff!

**[00:17] (Flashback) Maaya**
Oh! And here's your big brother!
**[00:23] (Flashback) Saki**
Sorry. Maaya said she wanted
to come see my new home.
**[00:28] (Flashback) Saki**
I didn't have your cell number,
so I tried calling the home phone.
**[00:33] (Flashback) Yuta**
Ah, I was probably in the shower.
**[00:36] (Flashback) Saki**
Also, I told Maaya that
you and I are siblings now.
**[00:41] (Flashback) Yuta**
I don't really min—
**[00:42] (Flashback) Saki**
It sounds like she was watching when you
came over to talk to me during tennis.
**[00:49] (Flashback) Saki**
And when you gave me the umbrella.
**[00:56] (Flashback) Yuta**
Sorry. I should've been more careful.
**[01:02] (Flashback) Saki**
So...
**[01:05] (Flashback) Saki**
can we exchange numbers?
**[01:13] Saki**
Oh?
**[01:15] Akiko**
Good morning!
**[01:16] Saki**
Good morning.
**[01:18] Saki**
Why aren't you in bed?
**[01:19] Akiko**
I had trouble falling asleep.
**[01:21] Akiko**
Also, hey, Taichi-san said
he'd be leaving late today,
**[01:25] Akiko**
so I thought maybe we could all eat together.
**[01:28] Saki**
I'll help.
**[01:31] Akiko**
Thank you.
**[01:33] Akiko**
It's been a while since we've

**[01:37] Saki**
Yeah.

Man, this is paradise.

**[01:45] Akiko**
Don't be so dramatic!

Yum.
**[01:48] Taichi**
Hmm?
**[01:51] Taichi**
You're right! Yum!
**[01:53] Yuta**
Is this a rolled omelet?
**[01:55] Saki**
A rolled omelet with broth.
**[01:57] Yuta**
With broth?
**[01:59] Saki**
You add dashi broth when you make it.
**[02:02] Yuta**
Like the soup for noodles?
**[02:03] Saki**
Well, we actually use white dashi.
**[02:06] Akiko**
Saki knows the recipe. Why don't
you make it for him next time?
**[02:11] Saki**
I can't get mine this fluffy, though.
**[02:16] Yuta**
Oh, I like regular fried eggs, too.
**[02:20] Saki**
Really?
**[02:22] Saki**
Well, maybe I'll try if I'm in the mood.
**[02:28] Akiko**
Thank you for helping, Yuta-kun.
**[02:31] Yuta**
No trouble at all.
**[02:33] Yuta**
Oh, is it all right if I throw your
clothes in with this week's laundry?

That's kind of...

Actually, if you don't mind, Yuta-kun,
I'd be happy to do all the laundry myself.
**[02:47] Yuta**
What? No, I can't make you do that.
**[02:51] Saki**
A lot of the fabrics are super delicate.
Do you know how to use a laundry bag?
**[02:56] Yuta**
Laundry bag?
**[02:57] Akiko**
It's made of mesh netting to
protect the clothes from damage.
**[03:02] Yuta**
Damage? Huh?
**[03:04] Saki**
It's hard to explain, so we'll do it ourselves.
**[03:07] Yuta**
Oh, okay.
**[03:09] Akiko**
I'll wash Taichi-san's underwear.
Should I wash yours, too, Yuta-kun?
**[03:15] Yuta**
Huh?
**[03:24] Saki**
Wait.
**[03:27] Saki**
I'll go with you.
**[03:31] Saki**
I apologize.
**[03:33] Yuta**
Huh?
**[03:34] Saki**
I realize there's a possibility that
you prefer women's underwear.
**[03:40] Saki**
It's not out of the question.
**[03:42] Yuta**
Huh?
**[03:43] Saki**
Even though I've always
rejected rigid gender roles,
**[03:48] Saki**
I just assumed you didn't know
how to do the laundry.
**[03:50] Yuta**
Ayase-san?
**[03:51] Saki**
I've never seen you with
lipstick or foundation on,
**[03:54] Saki**
but you might be the type who
only likes to doll up in private.
**[03:58] Yuta**
Hold on. Calm down for a second, Ayase-san.
**[04:01] Saki**
Huh?
**[04:12] Saki**
I've calmed down.
**[04:14] Yuta**
Okay.
**[04:15] Saki**
Even if you're interested in cross-dressing,
**[04:17] Saki**
it doesn't have to mean you actually do it.
**[04:22] Yuta**
I don't cross-dress, and I don't put
makeup on when no one's looking.
**[04:26] Saki**
But your eyebrows are shaped really nicely.
**[04:30] Yuta**
Huh?
**[04:31] Saki**
You must get them done, right?
Do you go to a salon?
**[04:34] Yuta**
A barber shop.
**[04:35] Saki**
Huh? You mean your eyebrows
are totally natural?
**[04:39] Yuta**
Well, yeah.
**[04:41] Saki**
I'm kind of jealous.
**[04:47] Saki**
Don't you think it's hard to force all
sexual difference into just two categories?
**[04:51] Yuta**
Huh... Yeah, I guess so.
**[04:54] Saki**
But earlier, in the moment,
that thought didn't even cross my mind.
**[05:02] Yuta**
I'm really not worried about it.
**[05:05] Saki**
Thanks. I appreciate it.
**[05:08] Saki**
But I can't forgive myself.
**[05:11] Saki**
That's why I wanted to apologize.
**[05:18] Yuta**
Sometimes we do things reflexively.
**[05:20] Saki**
Reflectively? Like light?
**[05:22] Yuta**
No, not that. I'm talking
about conditioned reflexes.
**[05:26] Saki**
Oh...
**[05:28] Yuta**
I think sometimes you say or do things
on instinct and can't really help it.
**[05:35] Yuta**
I'm sure the ability to react reflexively
like that is useful in certain situations.
**[05:40] Saki**
But still, prejudice leads to discrimination.
**[05:47] Yuta**
That's why we need to reexamine things.
**[06:00] Yuta**
Ayase-san, you've already reexamined
and reflected on what you did earlier.
**[06:05] Yuta**
Once you've done that, I don't think
you need to keep worrying about it.
**[06:12] Yuta**
Personally...
**[06:14] Yuta**
I don't think you're the type who can't
reflect on and learn from what you've done.

**[06:34] Saki**
Asamura-kun, you really...
***SIGN*** understand me too well.
**[07:01] student**
All right, let's go!
**[07:23] Saki**
You're already back.
**[07:26] Saki**
What?
**[07:28] Yuta**
No, it's nothing. Don't worry about it.
**[07:30] Saki**
Really?
**[07:31] Yuta**
Uh, I've got work today.
***SIGN*** You were looking, weren't you?
**[07:46] Saki**
So your eyes were drawn to
the hanging undergarments,
**[07:50] Saki**
which is why, when I startled you,
you up and ran.
**[07:55] Saki**
Did you think I might've thought you
were about to go in and steal them?
**[07:59] Yuta**
Well... I guess.
**[08:02] Saki**
Even though they're your little sister's?
**[08:04] Yuta**
Well, yeah. I'm aware of that.
**[08:09] Saki**
Sorry. That was a little unfair.
**[08:12] Yuta**
Huh?
**[08:13] Saki**
Here. Have some cocoa.
**[08:16] Saki**
Don't want it? I can take it back.
**[08:18] Yuta**
No, that's okay. I'll take it.
**[08:24] Saki**
I guess this makes us even now.
**[08:27] Yuta**
Huh?
**[08:28] Saki**
Your eyes being drawn to my underwear
is another kind of reflexive reaction.
**[08:34] Saki**
But I don't think you're the type who can't
reflect on and learn from what you've done.
**[08:43] Yuta**
Well, that's a relief.
**[08:46] Saki**
So does this mean my underwear was
tempting enough to you to catch your eye?
**[08:52] Yuta**
I didn't say that.
**[08:54] Saki**
So it wasn't tempting at all? Huh.
**[08:58] Yuta**
Are you teasing me right now?
**[09:01] Saki**
Oh, I wonder.
**[09:03] Saki**
But you can't say the thought of stealing
my underwear didn't cross your mind, right?
**[09:08] Yuta**
I'd be lying if I said I didn't
feel any urge to take it,
**[09:12] Yuta**
but that doesn't mean I'd act on it.
**[09:15] Saki**
Hmm. So you did feel an urge.
**[09:19] Yuta**
Having an urge to do something and acting
on that urge are two different things.
**[09:26] Saki**
You're right.
**[09:28] Saki**
Sorry. Let's drop it.
**[09:31] Saki**
I've already eaten dinner and had my bath.
**[09:35] Yuta**
Huh? Oh, okay.
**[09:38] Saki**
Goodnight.
**[09:40] Yuta**
Goodnight.
***SIGN*** Friday, June 12th
**[09:55] Maaya**
Hi, Big Brother.
**[09:58] Yuta**
Hey, not at school!
**[10:00] Maaya**
Did something happen to Saki?
**[10:01] Yuta**
Huh?
**[10:02] Maaya**
She's been like that since this morning.
***SIGN*** You seem down. Did something happen?
**[10:17] student**
Here it comes!
***SIGN*** No.
**[10:28] Yuta**
Dad's catching the last train home.
**[10:31] Saki**
Okay.
**[11:14] Yuta**
Sorry. I still haven't found a good,
high-paying job for you.
**[11:18] Saki**
I never expected you to find one immediately.
**[11:20] Yuta**
But at this rate, you're going to be
making me dinner for nothing.
**[11:27] Yuta**
If you want me to help out more,
just say the word.
**[11:31] Saki**
Sure.

***SIGN*** Sunday, June 7th
**[14:37] Saki**
*Sunday, June 7th.*
**[14:44] Saki**
*I'm relieved, to be honest.*
**[14:48] Saki**
* I could tell when we were introduced*
* that he wasn't a bad person.*
**[14:54] Saki**
*And also that he's considerate.*
**[14:58] Saki**
* He's the kind of guy who'll even draw*
* a fresh bath for me when he's done.*
**[15:05] Saki**
* And I never expected*
* that he attended Suisei, too.*
***SIGN*** Monday, June 8th
**[15:14] Saki**
*Monday, June 8th.*
**[15:18] Saki**
*Asamura-kun came and talked to me at school.*
**[15:22] Saki**
*He's a lot more level-headed than I thought.*
**[15:27] Saki**
* I'm a little annoyed that he believed*
* the rumors about me,*
**[15:32] Saki**
*but I can't really blame him.*
**[15:36] Saki**
*I know how people see me.*
**[15:40] Saki**
* But he got mad, and recognized*
* that I was mad about it, too.*
**[15:46] Saki**
* This might be the first time anyone has*
* understood my feelings so effortlessly.*
***SIGN*** Tuesday, June 9th
**[15:55] Saki**
*Tuesday, June 9th.*
**[15:58] Saki**
* Memo: Asamura-kun likes*
* his fried eggs with soy sauce.*
**[16:04] Saki**
*Today, I start cooking.*
**[16:05] Saki**
* Asamura-kun is trying to find*
* a high-paying job for me,*
**[16:10] Saki**
*so I feel like it's the least I can do.*
**[16:15] Saki**
* He seemed apologetic when he told*
* me he hadn't found anything yet,*
**[16:21] Saki**
* but I really didn't think it*
* would be that easy, you know?*
**[16:29] Saki**
*The right way to depend on people, huh?*
**[16:34] Saki**
*If I could do that, sure.*
***SIGN*** Wednesday, June 10th
**[16:53] Saki**
*Wednesday, June 10th.*
***SIGN*** I was listening to music.
**[16:59] Saki**
*I'm so embarrassed.*
***SIGN*** I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention
**[17:01] Saki**
*I never thought he'd ask me...*
***SIGN*** English lessons?
**[17:05] Saki**
*I don't want him to see*
***SIGN*** What difference does it make?
**[17:07] Saki**
*how hard I actually work. I know it's not cool.*
**[17:15] Saki**
*Maaya came to hang out at my new place.*
**[17:18] Saki**
* The three of us played*
* games and laughed a lot.*
**[17:22] Saki**
*I hadn't laughed so much in a long time.*
**[17:27] Saki**
*We exchanged contact info.*
**[17:30] Saki**
* Asamura-kun uses a landscape*
* photo as his profile picture.*
***SIGN*** Asamura Yuta

*I'm not surprised.*
***SIGN*** Thursday, June 11th
**[17:36] Saki**
*Thursday, June 11th.*
**[17:40] Saki**
*He said he wouldn't actually do it.*
**[17:43] Saki**
* He said that having an urge and*
* acting on it are two different things.*
**[17:51] Saki**
*I feel the exact same way.*
**[17:54] Saki**
* I'm starting to realize that each and every*
* time Asamura-kun shares his thoughts,*
**[17:58] Saki**
* it's always something that*
* I can relate to completely.*

**[18:23] Saki**
*He understands me far too well.*
**[18:31] Yuta**
Ayase-san, right now...
**[18:34] Yuta**
you're acting exactly like
the kind of girl I hate.
**[18:41] Yuta**
Using your looks as a weapon to get ahead...
**[18:44] Yuta**
I thought you didn't want to be seen that way.
**[18:47] Yuta**
If you can't prove people wrong in a way
that's not contingent on being a woman,
**[18:52] Yuta**
then what's the point?
**[18:55] Saki**
But...
**[18:57] Saki**
I felt like since you understand that much—
**[19:00] Yuta**
This isn't about me.
**[19:04] Yuta**
It's...
**[19:07] Yuta**
about you, Ayase-san.
**[19:19] Saki**
I'm sorry.
***SIGN*** Asamura Ayase
**[19:27] Saki**
I think my father used to be a really nice guy.
**[19:32] Saki**
But after his company failed,
he stopped trusting people.
**[19:37] Saki**
My mom started working
twice as hard to provide for me,
**[19:43] Saki**
but he didn't seem to like that, either.
**[19:50] Saki**
He'd say to her,
"You're nothing but a sex worker."
**[19:56] Saki**
"You use your body to get customers."
Really degrading stuff.
**[20:01] Saki**
I understand he was going through a lot,
**[20:05] Saki**
but that didn't make it okay
to take it out on my mom.
**[20:14] Yuta**
I completely agree.
**[20:15] Saki**
Huh?
**[20:17] Yuta**
Uh, well... that's kind of like
what happened to us, too.
**[20:22] Yuta**
After my mom cheated on my dad,
**[20:25] Yuta**
he became kind of paranoid
of women for a while.
**[20:28] Saki**
Your dad did?
**[20:37] Saki**
And maybe you did, too?
**[20:45] Saki**
You and I have a lot in common.
**[20:50] Saki**
Even the broken parts.
**[20:54] Yuta**
You might have a point.
**[20:58] Yuta**
But even with those parts, I have a feeling
we'll be able to get along all right.
**[21:08] Yuta**
As brother and sister.
**[21:17] Yuta**
Oh, hey. I don't mind if you want
to start calling me "big brother."
**[21:34] Saki**
Thanks.
**[21:38] Yuta**
Ayase-san?
**[21:44] Saki**
Let's make this work together, Asamura-kun.
***SIGN*** Saturday, June 13th
**[21:51] Saki**
*Saturday, June 13th.*
**[21:55] Saki**
* Asamura-kun and I ate dinner together.*
* Just the two of us.*
**[21:59] Saki**
* We were able to convince our parents*
* to go out to eat for once.*
**[22:06] Saki**
*It was actually Asamura-kun's idea.*
**[22:09] Saki**
*He really is considerate of others.*
**[22:24] Saki**
* That's exactly why I shouldn't*
* call him "big brother."*
**[22:31] Saki**
*The moment I start calling him that,*
**[22:33] Saki**
* I'll probably start depending*
* on him for everything.*
**[22:38] Saki**
*I absolutely can't let myself do that.*
***SIGN*** I know it's strange to have toast with your rolled omelet with broth.
**[22:42] Saki**
*I'm sorry, Asamura-kun.*
***SIGN*** It isn't strange at all, Ayase-san.
***SIGN*** I'm so glad.
**[22:47] Saki**
*But every time I call him "Asamura-kun,"*
***SIGN*** That looks great, Yuta.
***SIGN*** Mind sharing with your old man?
**[22:51] Saki**
*I get this indescribable feeling in my chest.*
**[22:53] Saki**
* One very different from the way*
* I'd feel calling him my brother.*
**[23:00] Saki**
*I've never felt this way before.*
**[23:03] Saki**
*I don't even know what to call it.*
**[23:07] Saki**
* Before I knew it, I started to*
* have feelings for Asamura-kun.*
**[23:11] Saki**
*My mind is in a haze.*
**[23:13] Saki**
* Recently, even when I'm in bed,*
* I have trouble falling asleep.*
**[23:17] Saki**
* And here I want live independently.*
* I'm getting so sick of myself.*
**[23:24] Saki**
*What's happening to me?*
**[23:31] Saki**
*Seriously...*

**[00:02] kid**
Over here, over here! Hurry up!
**[00:39] Yuta**
*A stepsister is essentially*
**[00:43] Yuta**
*a stranger.*
***SIGN*** Thursday, July 16th
**[00:47] Yuta**
*We simply became siblings one day*
**[00:51] Yuta**
* because our parents suddenly*
* decided to get married.*
**[00:54] Yuta**
* We don't have the sense of kinship*
* that a genetic connection provides,*
**[00:58] Yuta**
* nor do we have any shared*
* experience living together.*
**[01:02] Yuta**
* It's not complicated.*
* We're obviously strangers.*
**[01:07] Yuta**
*It's just that...*
**[01:10] Yuta**
* Now that it's been a month since*
* Dad and Akiko-san got married*
**[01:14] Yuta**
* and the four of us, including*
* her daughter, began living together,*
**[01:18] Yuta**
* I'm starting to realize that my*
* stepsister, this "stranger,"*
**[01:22] Yuta**
* actually occupies a much*
* more ambiguous position.*
**[01:27] Yuta**
*She's a stranger I share a home with now.*
**[01:31] Yuta**
*I think it's probably fair to call her that.*
**[01:34] Yuta**
* But then, when I ask myself*
* what our relationship is...*
**[01:40] Yuta**
*I'm at a loss for an answer.*
**[01:52] Yuta**
Oh. I'm back, Ayase-san.
**[02:03] Saki**
Tutor me in modern lit.
***SIGN*** Modern Lit
**[02:09] Yuta**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Asamura Ayase
**[03:44] Yuta**
What was your score?
**[03:46] Saki**
I got a 38.
**[03:48] Yuta**
Wow, that's pretty impressive.
**[03:52] Saki**
I had a feeling that's how it would go.
***SIGN*** Episode 4 "Tendencies and Strategies"
**[03:55] Saki**
I've never been very good at lit,
so I expected to fail this time, too.
**[04:00] Yuta**
Even though you get high
scores in other subjects?
**[04:03] Saki**
I can never really understand how
the characters feel and all that stuff.
**[04:09] Yuta**
That's not what I was expecting.
**[04:11] Yuta**
You seem the especially considerate type.
**[04:14] Saki**
Does it look that way to you?
**[04:16] Yuta**
Yeah. At least with me,
you try to understand my position,
**[04:22] Yuta**
and then compromise so we can get along.
**[04:25] Saki**
You've got it backwards, Asamura-kun.
**[04:27] Yuta**
Backwards?
**[04:30] Saki**
We have to compromise exactly because
we can't understand others' feelings.
**[04:37] Yuta**
You might have a point.
**[04:39] Saki**
But honestly, my grade this time
could be a real problem.
**[04:43] Saki**
If I don't pass the retest,
**[04:45] Saki**
I'll be forced to take make-up
lessons during summer break.
**[04:49] Yuta**
I can see why you'd want to avoid that.
**[04:52] Saki**
And I wanted to work over summer vacation...
**[04:57] Yuta**
Sorry. Not finding you a
well-paying job is on me.
**[05:00] Saki**
Oh, no... I'm not blaming you or anything.
**[05:06] Saki**
In fact, I feel bad for taking advantage of you.
**[05:21] Yuta**
If it's okay with you,
I'd be happy to help you study modern lit.
**[05:34] Saki**
Thanks.
**[05:44] Yuta**
You do all right with the
essay questions at the start.
**[05:48] Yuta**
But your answers for the book questions
at the end are full of blanks.
**[05:53] Yuta**
Do you struggle with the novels so
much that you just ran out of time?
**[05:58] Saki**
You sound like you were
watching over my shoulder.
**[06:01] Yuta**
Well, am I wrong?
**[06:03] Saki**
No. Bullseye.
**[06:04] Saki**
But it kind of stings that you
pinpointed my weakness so easily.
**[06:08] Saki**
Not exactly a great feeling.
**[06:11] Yuta**
Sorry. I should have put it more gently.
**[06:14] Saki**
I forgive you.
**[06:15] Saki**
Also, I know you're just being blunt
because you're seriously trying to help me.
**[06:20] Saki**
I shouldn't get pissed over it. Sorry.
**[06:24] Yuta**
It's okay. I guess that makes us even.
**[06:28] Yuta**
So it looks like you struggled the
most with the part about *Sanshiro*.
**[06:33] Saki**
Yeah.
**[06:34] Yuta**
Natsume Soseki's *Sanshiro* is all about
the challenge of falling in love freely.
**[06:40] Yuta**
I think people today understand
some parts of the story better
**[06:43] Yuta**
than people did when the book was written.
**[06:46] Saki**
Really? Which parts?
**[06:49] Yuta**
Actually, this might go faster if you tell me
which aspects of it were hardest for you.
**[06:55] Saki**
Um... I don't understand what Sanshiro
is thinking, or what Mineko is thinking,
**[07:01] Saki**
or their motives for any of
the choices they both make.
**[07:04] Yuta**
Um... You get that Sanshiro
has fallen for Mineko, right?
**[07:11] Saki**
He has?
**[07:15] Saki**
Fallen for, as in... he likes her
in a romantic way, right?
**[07:20] Yuta**
Yeah. Remember, he gets jealous
when other men approach her.
**[07:25] Yuta**
Isn't it kind of obvious?
**[07:28] Saki**
He's jealous?
**[07:30] Saki**
You mean he doesn't like it
when Mineko talks to other men?
**[07:35] Saki**
But he doesn't tell her to stop, does he?
If he hates it so much, he should say so.
**[07:42] Yuta**
Well, maybe it's too psychologically
challenging for him
**[07:46] Yuta**
to be so direct with the person he likes.
**[07:52] Saki**
Honestly, I don't get people who hide their
true feelings and don't say what they mean.
**[08:02] Yuta**
Okay, can you imagine a situation where
you couldn't express your true feelings?
**[08:07] Yuta**
Maybe like the first time you fell in love?
**[08:09] Saki**
The first time I fell in love?
**[08:13] Yuta**
Have you ever been so head over heels that
you couldn't make the right decisions?
**[08:19] Saki**
No. I have zero experience with love.
**[08:23] Yuta**
I see.
**[08:24] Saki**
Do you, Asamura-kun?
**[08:28] Yuta**
Now that you mention it, no.
**[08:30] Saki**
Hmm, so you don't...
**[08:33] Yuta**
That a problem?
**[08:34] Saki**
Not really. But if neither
of us has ever been in love,
**[08:39] Saki**
then it's probably safe to assume our lit
grades have nothing to do with experience.
**[08:44] Yuta**
You're right.
**[08:48] Yuta**
So maybe let's stop trying to
empathize with the characters.
**[08:51] Yuta**
If we can't relate to them,
then fine. That's that.
**[08:55] Saki**
So we just take shots in the dark, then?
**[08:57] Yuta**
Not exactly. Maybe think of it
as a math formula or a puzzle.
**[09:03] Saki**
A puzzle?
**[09:04] Yuta**
You get good grades in history, right?
**[09:08] Saki**
Well, yeah. It's just memorization.
**[09:11] Yuta**
Yeah, exactly. It might be easier
to understand modern literature
**[09:15] Yuta**
if you can remember the historical
context of when the book was written.
**[09:22] Yuta**
Since you're good at history,
try linking that knowledge to the story,
**[09:26] Yuta**
and maybe you'll understand it better.
**[09:30] Saki**
You're right. That might be easier for me.
**[09:33] Yuta**
Let's try practicing. There are only
a few different types of questions.
**[09:39] Yuta**
I think you can prepare
for them all by the retest.
**[09:46] Saki**
Do you think I'll pass the retest?
**[09:52] Yuta**
I know you will, Ayase-san.
**[09:58] Saki**
Okay. I'll do my best.
**[10:21] Yuta**
Yeah. This last one is correct,
too. I'm impressed.
**[10:26] Yuta**
I knew you could do it.
**[10:28] Yuta**
Now if you just master the novels
that will likely be covered,
**[10:31] Yuta**
the retake should be a breeze.
**[10:35] Saki**
Thank you. You're a really good teacher.
**[10:39] Yuta**
Oh, I doubt that.
**[10:46] Yuta**
Are you smiling?
**[10:52] Saki**
Who knows? Can't say for sure.

But I promised...

As your instructor,
I want you to pass the retest.

So I'd prefer it if you concentrated

Thanks.

Oh, it's you, Narasaka-san.
**[12:32] Maaya**
Sniff, sniff! You carry the scent of the
Asamura family yet again today.
**[12:36] Yuta**
Hey, Narasaka-san, you're kinda close.
**[12:39] Maaya**
We *are* close, Big Brother!
**[12:42] Yuta**
Would you quit calling me that at school?
**[12:44] Maaya**
We're just bonding, Big Bro!
**[12:48] Maaya**
Right, Broski? Big Brudder? Brother Dearest!
**[12:52] Yuta**
What's with all the variations?
**[12:54] Maaya**
I just wasn't sure which one would stick best.
**[12:58] Yuta**
You sure are spirited today.
**[13:00] Maaya**
Yeah, because I'm all done with exams!
**[13:02] Maaya**
And now I'm gonna release
all that pent-up stress at once!
**[13:07] Yuta**
So you don't have to take any retests?
**[13:09] Maaya**
Nope. I've never failed a test before.
**[13:12] Maaya**
My combined score on all
nine tests was 808 points!
**[13:16] Maaya**
How's that?!
**[13:16] Yuta**
Wow, eight hundred... Huh?!
**[13:19] Maaya**
What? That surprised you?
**[13:22] Maaya**
I bet you thought I couldn't do it!
**[13:24] Yuta**
Sorry, but no, I actually didn't.
**[13:27] Maaya**
That's so mean! I'm at the
top of my class, you know!
**[13:32] Maaya**
I've kept nearly a 90% average
all throughout high school!
**[13:39] Yuta**
Okay, since you're such
an excellent student,
**[13:42] Yuta**
I'd like to ask you something.
**[13:44] Maaya**
Yes? Don't be shy, son.
**[13:49] Maaya**
Aha.
**[13:51] Maaya**
So you're looking for a way to help
Saki study more efficiently, eh?
**[13:57] Yuta**
It feels like you're implying something.
**[14:00] Maaya**
No, no. You just seem like a devoted brother.
**[14:04] Yuta**
I helped her study, but Ayase-san
is pretty smart to begin with,
**[14:08] Yuta**
so I figure once she gets the hang of it,
she won't need my help anymore.
**[14:13] Maaya**
Yeah, that does sound like Saki.
**[14:18] Yuta**
That's why I was wondering if there's
any other way I can help her out.
**[14:29] Maaya**
Okay.
**[14:31] Maaya**
But I really don't do anything
special in particular.
**[14:38] Maaya**
I do listen to background music
when working, though.
**[14:41] Yuta**
That actually might help. Do you
have any recommended genres?
**[14:45] Maaya**
Nope!
**[14:46] Yuta**
Huh?
**[14:47] Maaya**
I just listen to whatever the app recommends.
Searching for myself is a pain!
**[14:53] Yuta**
Oh, okay.
**[14:56] Maaya**
But you know, Asamura-kun,
you really are a good brother.
**[14:59] Maaya**
You should hold your head high!
**[15:02] Yuta**
I don't think this makes me a good brother.
**[15:04] Maaya**
Personally, I think cooking for my little
brothers qualifies me as a great sister.
**[15:08] Yuta**
You have brothers?
**[15:09] Maaya**
I sure do! Tons of them!
**[15:12] Yuta**
Must be a really big family.
**[15:14] Maaya**
Yeah, about a hundred of us.
**[15:16] Yuta**
Huh?
**[15:17] Maaya**
Just kidding! It's a much more
reasonable number.
**[15:20] Yuta**
So how many, then?
**[15:26] Shiori**
You seem down, my sweet junior.
**[15:33] Yuta**
Well, more customers on the weekend
means more annoying customers to deal with.
**[15:38] Shiori**
Hold it right there. How could you talk
about our dear customers that way?
**[15:43] Yuta**
Don't you usually complain about
that a whole lot more than I do?
**[15:46] Shiori**
Whatever do you mean?
**[15:49] Shiori**
Shh.
**[15:51] Staff**
See you later.
**[15:53] Yuta & Shiori**
See you later.
**[16:02] Yuta**

getting sick of me at college.

Well, I don't have any adventures to share,
but can I ask you for some advice instead?
**[17:28] Shiori**
Oh, now that does sound like
an interesting proposal!
**[17:34] Shiori**
So you want to help your sister
learn to study more efficiently? I see.
**[17:42] Shiori**
And you've been looking into
background music, have you?
**[17:46] Yuta**
Yeah. But I still can't really
pin down the best genres for it.
**[17:52] Shiori**
Yes, yes. I see.
**[17:55] Shiori**
I might have a recommendation for you.
**[17:57] Shiori**
Let's see... Which one?
**[18:01] Shiori**
Oh, here it is.
**[18:02] Shiori**
I also wanted background music to work to,
so I spent some time looking into it.

Huh.

**[18:11] Yuta**
Huh?
**[18:12] Shiori**

Thanks. I'm surprised you
listen to music like this.
**[20:09] Yuta**
I actually just discovered it.
**[20:11] Yuta**
My senpai at work introduced me to it.
**[20:15] Saki**
Oh, the same one, right?
**[20:17] Saki**
The beautiful older girl
with encyclopedic knowledge?
**[20:19] Yuta**

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I get
most of my recommendations from her.
**[20:30] Saki**
You two must be close.
**[20:32] Yuta**
Well, we get a lot of shifts together.
**[20:37] Yuta**
Ayase-san?
**[20:38] Saki**
Huh? Oh, it's nothing.
**[20:41] Saki**
I just got lost in the music for a second.
**[20:44] Yuta**
I see.
**[20:47] Saki**
So your senpai even has
good taste in music, huh?
**[20:51] Yuta**
Yeah, but personality-wise,
she's kind of an airhead,
**[20:54] Yuta**
though in a really humorous way.
**[20:58] Saki**
Either way, she sounds interesting.
**[21:01] Yuta**
Yeah, that I can guarantee.
**[21:08] Saki**
Asamura-kun?
**[21:11] Yuta**
I really think that I keep taking
too much from you, Ayase-san.
**[21:18] Yuta**
I know this wasn't much,
but I hope it returns the favor a little.
**[21:29] Saki**
Thanks. I'll try listening to it tonight.
**[21:33] Yuta**
Okay.
**[21:36] Yuta**
Oh, just leave it there.
I'll take care of the dishes.
**[21:41] Saki**

Wow, you sure are handy.

**[10:57] Shiori**
Yes. Something I want you to know.
**[11:02] Shiori**
The truth is, I...
**[11:08] Shiori**
only have six months left to live.
**[11:19] Yuta**
I can tell you're lying.
**[11:22] Yuta**
Let's go. There's still time if we leave now.
**[11:37] Shiori**
I—
**[11:38] Vending Machine**
*Good evening. It sure is hot today.*
**[11:49] Yuta**
Senpai?
**[11:55] Shiori**
I was just thinking that the view from here
is exactly like that park in the movie.
**[12:00] Yuta**
Oh. Yeah, it does look like that.
**[12:04] Yuta**
Unfortunately, though, I can't time travel.
**[12:10] Shiori**
I guess not. Can I toss that can for you?
**[12:13] Yuta**
Thank you.
**[12:19] Shiori**
Should we get going?
**[12:21] Yuta**
Oh, sure.
**[12:49] Shiori**
I'll be okay from here.
**[12:51] Shiori**
Bye!
**[12:52] Yuta**
Yeah.
**[12:54] Yuta**
Thanks again for that
music you told me about.
**[12:58] Yuta**
It made Ayase-san really happy, too.
**[13:02] Shiori**
Be sure to give your dear sister my regards.
**[13:27] Boy**

**[15:41] Saki**
Hey, someone put a blanket over
me last night. Was that you?
***SIGN*** Sunday, July 19th
**[15:46] Yuta**
Oh. Well, yeah.
**[15:49] Saki**
I thought so.
**[15:52] Yuta**
It wouldn't be good if you got
sick before your retest.
**[15:56] Saki**
Yeah, you're right. Thanks.
**[16:00] Yuta**
You don't need to thank me for that.
**[16:03] Saki**
Didn't you go see a movie last night?
**[16:07] Yuta**
Uh... yeah.
**[16:10] Yuta**
It's called *A Rift in the Blue Night*.
**[16:13] Saki**
I think I saw a commercial for that. How was it?
**[16:17] Yuta**
It was really good. Actually,
I highly recommend that you see it.
**[16:22] Saki**
Not until after the test.
**[16:24] Yuta**
I know.
**[16:26] Saki**
If it's based on a book,
maybe I'll read that instead.
**[16:29] Saki**
It might even help my literature grade.
**[16:32] Yuta**
Good point.
**[16:38] Saki**
So, are you dating that senpai at work?
**[16:45] Yuta**
Things aren't like that between us.
**[16:48] Saki**
They're not?
**[16:49] Yuta**
She's just a coworker.
**[16:51] Saki**
Huh.
**[16:53] Yuta**
She likes books, too,
so we have a lot to talk about.
**[16:57] Saki**
You do read a lot of books, Asamura-kun.
**[17:00] Saki**
I should start reading more, too.
**[17:03] Yuta**
I'd love to get another friend into books.
**[17:06] Yuta**
But you should focus on your test for now.
**[17:09] Saki**
Huh?
**[17:10] Saki**
Oh, yeah.
**[17:17] Shiori**
Hello, my sweet junior!
**[17:20] Yuta**
Senpai...
**[17:22] Yuta**
Are you restocking?
**[17:24] Shiori**
Yes. Would you give me a hand?
**[17:28] Yuta**
Sure.
**[17:34] Yuta**
Do you think this is good?
**[17:35] Shiori**
Yeah.
**[17:37] Shiori**
Oh, that girl looks like she's looking
for something. I'll be right back.
**[17:45] Shiori**
Can I help you find anything?
**[17:47] Saki**
Huh? Oh, yes, a book.
**[17:50] Yuta**
Ayase-san?
**[17:53] Shiori**
Oh, you're looking for a book?
**[17:55] Shiori**
Please, allow me to be of assistance!
I'd love to help!
**[17:58] Saki**
Sure. Thank you very much.
**[18:01] Shiori**
Just leave it to me!
Say, aren't you his little sister?
**[18:06] Saki**
Um, yes. And you are?
**[18:09] Yuta**
Hey!
**[18:10] Shiori**
Yomiuri Shiori. Nice to meet you.
**[18:13] Shiori**
You're every bit as pretty as he said you were!
**[18:17] Shiori**
Adorable, just adorable!
**[18:20] Yuta**
You're acting like some drunk guy at a bar.
**[18:22] Saki**
Um, Asamura-kun,
I'm looking for a study guide.
**[18:27] Yuta**
If you want a study guide—
**[18:28] Saki**
Oh, and also the novel version
of the movie you saw yesterday.
**[18:33] Shiori**
Oh, are you interested in the movie, too?
**[18:37] Shiori**
If so, there's a late show we could—
**[18:39] Yuta**
Ayase-san needs to study.
**[18:42] Yuta**
Don't try to lead her down the path of evil.
**[18:44] Shiori**
But the flowers along the path of evil are
beautiful because they're watered with blood!
**[18:49] Yuta**
That's clearly inefficient.
**[18:51] Yuta**
Flowers grown properly with water
and sunlight will always be superior.
**[18:57] Shiori**
We don't have time for this pointless
chit-chat on the clock, my sweet junior!
**[19:01] Shiori**
Our top priority should be pointing our
lost customer in the right direction!
**[19:08] Shiori**
So anyway, my sweet junior's little sister,
about that book you're looking for...
**[19:14] Saki**
It's Saki. Ayase Saki.
**[19:16] Shiori**
Ayase?
**[19:18] Saki**
I don't mind if you call me Asamura Saki,
but that might make things confusing.
**[19:23] Saki**
Please just use my given name.
**[19:26] Shiori**
Okay, then. I'll call you Saki-chan.
**[19:29] Shiori**
Now, you're looking for a study guide
and the novel the movie's based on, right?
**[19:34] Saki**
Yes. Also, Asamura-kun, are there any
other books you'd recommend for me?
**[19:41] Yuta**
You want my recommendations?
**[19:43] Saki**
Since you read so many books,
I figure you must know some good ones.
**[19:49] Saki**
It'll help me study, too.
**[19:51] Yuta**
Oh... Okay, I'll pick something for you.
**[19:57] Saki**
Is working the register hard?
**[19:59] Yuta**
Well, kind of.
**[20:01] Yuta**
It's an endless string of brief conversations
with people you don't necessarily level with.
**[20:10] Yuta**
It isn't really that scary, though.
**[20:13] Yuta**
Next is the study guide, right?

You're still talking about her?
**[21:21] Shiori**
At my age, if you don't maintain a
healthy intake of young girl extract,
**[21:25] Shiori**
you simply start to shrivel up.
**[21:28] Yuta**
You aren't that much older than her.
**[21:33] Shiori**
There's a world of difference between
high school and college students.
**[21:36] Shiori**
You just don't get it, my sweet junior.
**[21:39] Yuta**
I really doubt I ever will.
**[21:43] Shiori**
And Saki-chan's pure and innocent reactions...
**[21:47] Shiori**
My sweet junior, she might be the real deal.
**[21:51] Yuta**
Real deal?
**[21:52] Shiori**
That's right.
**[21:58] Yuta**
Well, I don't know...
**[21:59] Shiori**
You don't? Really?
**[22:04] Yuta**
Ayase-san is still my little sister.

No, I'm fine.

Anyway, I hear you and Narasaka
have been getting awfully close lately.
**[00:17] Yuta**
Huh?
**[00:18] Maru**
Haven't you?
**[00:19] Yuta**
I just asked her some questions about studying.
**[00:22] Maru**
I hear she goes around
calling you "Big Brother."

Oh... Yeah, that...

Well, anyway,

**[02:20] Maaya**
Hey, it's Asamura-kun!
**[02:23] Maaya**
What's up? Fancy running into you
on the way out of here, huh?
**[02:27] Yuta**
Narasaka-san...
**[02:29] Yuta**
Oh, you two are together today?
**[02:31] Maaya**
Let's go home together!
**[02:32] Yuta**
Huh? But... why?
**[02:34] Maaya**
Huh? What do you mean, "why"?
This is the perfect chance!
**[02:39] Yuta**
For what? I have no idea
what you're talking about.
**[02:43] Maaya**
I mean, we're all headed to Saki's place!
**[02:46] Yuta**
Huh?
**[02:49] Saki**
Sorry. I asked her to help me study at home.
**[02:53] Yuta**
Oh, so that's why.
**[02:56] Yuta**
But isn't this awkward for Narasaka-san,
with us walking home together?
**[03:00] Maaya**
Not at all! I don't have anything against it!
**[03:03] Maaya**
I mean, you're going to the same place.
Why would you walk home separately?
**[03:08] Maaya**
Right, Saki?
**[03:10] Maaya**
Well, you have a point.
**[03:13] Yuta**
Yeah...
**[03:15] Yuta**
Well, I guess we're stuck with it this time.
**[03:20] Saki**
Maybe Maaya was the wrong person to ask...
**[03:23] Maaya**
I'm home!
**[03:25] Saki**
Uh, this is actually *my* house.
**[03:27] Maaya**
First one in!
**[03:30] Saki**
Sorry for all the noise today.
**[03:31] Maaya**
Hello there, Sofa-kun!
You're nice and squishy today!
**[03:33] Yuta**
It won't bother me. Good luck studying.
**[03:36] Maaya**
I'm happy to see you, too!
**[03:37] Saki**
Thanks.
**[03:40] Maaya**
Wanna do it here?
**[03:42] Saki**
Let's go over there.
**[03:43] Saki**
Oh, I'll get us something to drink.
**[03:45] Maaya**
Thanks!
**[04:00] Maaya**
Hmm, let's see...
**[04:06] Maaya**
Hold on a sec.
**[04:07] Saki**
Okay.
**[04:16] Maaya**
So, here...
**[04:18] Saki**
Oh, sorry. I'll get started on dinner.
**[04:21] Yuta**
Oh, that's okay. I wasn't trying to pressure you.
**[04:25] Yuta**
I'll take care of it.
**[04:26] Saki**
Huh?
**[04:27] Yuta**
I have the day off from work.
You should concentrate on your studies.
**[04:32] Saki**
Thanks. That's a huge help.
**[04:35] Maaya**
Hmm, yes, very nice.
**[04:37] Maaya**
You're giving off good husband vibes,
Asamura-kun.
**[04:52] Yuta**
Maybe I should start with the rice?
**[04:54] Maaya**
Asamura-kun!
**[04:58] Yuta**
If you want a drink, the fridge is—
**[05:00] Maaya**
That's not what I'm here for!
I came to see how you were doing.
**[05:04] Maaya**
Having a little trouble, maybe?
**[05:07] Yuta**
Actually, this is a little
embarrassing for me.
**[05:11] Yuta**
I thought I could figure it
out if I had a recipe,
**[05:15] Yuta**
but I can't make any sense of it.
**[05:17] Maaya**
I see, I see.
**[05:19] Maaya**
Hey, Saki! You're good to spend the
rest of the time just reviewing, right?
**[05:24] Saki**
Yeah. Thanks for the help.
**[05:26] Maaya**
Okay, then, give it your best shot!
**[05:29] Maaya**
I'm gonna help Asamura-kun cook.
**[05:32] Saki**
Huh? Er, okay... but that's asking a lot of you—
**[05:36] Maaya**
It's fine, it's fine!
**[05:38] Maaya**
I'll stun you with a taste
of my housewifey powers!
**[05:42] Maaya**
Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha.
**[05:44] Saki**
Okay. Thanks.
**[05:47] Maaya**
All right, then!
**[05:49] Maaya**
I'm happy to offer my guidance and support
to Big Brother here, our new cook!
**[05:54] Maaya**
Let's do this!
**[05:55] Yuta**
Y-Yeah, let's do it.

**[07:49] Maaya**
So, Asamura-kun, are you sure
there's nothing between you and Saki?
**[07:54] Yuta**
It would be trouble if there was.
**[07:56] Maaya**
But you're basically strangers, right?
You aren't even related by blood.
**[08:00] Yuta**
Why are you so curious about
my relationship with Ayase-san?
**[08:04] Maaya**
Why? I'm not really sure.
**[08:08] Maaya**
I just get this feeling that
Saki's changed a little.
**[08:13] Yuta**
Huh.
**[08:14] Maaya**
Like, for example, she's using
more perfume than before.
**[08:19] Maaya**
Did you notice?
**[08:20] Yuta**
Not at all.
**[08:21] Maaya**
Thank goodness! It would've
been so creepy if you had.
**[08:25] Yuta**
Quit setting traps.
**[08:27] Maaya**
And last year, she only used wet wipes
when she got sweaty instead of perfume.
**[08:32] Maaya**
Those seem to be all she really needs,
though, so it's not like it's a problem.
**[08:38] Yuta**
But she's using more this year?
**[08:40] Maaya**
Yes! And that's the behavior of a person
who's conscious of a special someone!
**[08:46] Maaya**
That's what Detective Maaya-chan's
intuition is telling her, Watson-kun!
**[08:50] Yuta**
Huh.
**[08:51] Maaya**
What a weak reaction!
**[08:53] Maaya**
Jeez. I'm telling you a super cute girl
has probably got you on her mind,
**[08:57] Maaya**
and you don't care at all?
**[08:59] Yuta**
That's one way to put it, but I think it's
only natural for her to be thinking about me.
**[09:04] Maaya**
I knew it! So the feeling's mutual!
**[09:08] Yuta**
That's not it.
**[09:10] Yuta**
When you live with someone
of the opposite sex,
**[09:14] Yuta**
of course you're going to be
more mindful of the way you smell.
**[09:18] Maaya**
Huh? Is that all there is to it?
**[09:24] Maaya**
But look! She's even watching you right now!
**[09:32] Yuta**
She probably realized that
we were talking about her.
**[09:36] Yuta**
Your voice is pretty loud, Narasaka-san.
**[09:38] Maaya**
Aww. I'm convinced it's one
of those love things, though.
**[09:42] Yuta**
If you keep hounding your friend about that,
she's going to get really annoyed.
**[09:46] Maaya**
Too late! Saki's already
really annoyed with me!
**[09:51] Maaya**
Oh! Nice timing!
**[09:54] Maaya**
And that's it for Maaya's Cooking Hour today!
**[10:03] Saki**
This is delicious.
**[10:04] Yuta**
I'm really glad you like it.
**[10:07] Saki**
I mean, sweet 'n' sour pork?
You really went out of your way for me.
**[10:14] Yuta**
You might be right.
**[10:21] Saki**
Thanks. I really do appreciate it.
**[10:26] Yuta**
Sure. So how's the studying going?
**[10:29] Saki**
Thanks to your help, I was easily able to
answer the questions Maaya came up with.
**[10:34] Yuta**
Oh, good.
**[10:36] Saki**
But then she got mad because she thinks
**[10:39] Saki**
my study method is roundabout and inefficient.
**[10:45] Yuta**
Yeah, honestly, it might not be
the most direct way, after all.
**[11:01] Saki**
You don't need to worry.
**[11:04] Saki**
It's working for me.
**[11:06] Saki**
I'm sure I'll do fine on the test tomorrow, too.
**[11:11] Yuta**
Yeah?
**[11:14] Yuta**
I'm rooting for you, Ayase-san.
**[11:24] Saki**
Thank you, Asamura-kun.
**[11:34] Saki**
Delicious.
**[11:45] Saki**
Just delicious.
**[11:49] Saki**
Thank you.

**[15:59] Saki**
*I'll trust in you and do my best, Asamura-kun.*
**[16:34] Yuta**
Huh? Oh, I'm sorry! You okay?
**[16:38] Saki**
Asamura-kun? Are you going somewhere?
**[16:42] Yuta**
Uh... No, I just...
**[16:48] Yuta**
You were late, and it was raining so hard.
**[16:54] Yuta**
I couldn't get a hold of you, so I just...
**[16:58] Yuta**
I was worried maybe the test didn't go great
and you were off... crying somewhere.
**[17:06] Saki**
You must have really been worried.
I'm genuinely sorry about that.
**[17:11] Saki**
But as for the test...
**[17:14] Saki**
Well, to be honest,
I didn't exactly get the best result.

But that's a passing score...
**[17:29] Saki**
Asamura-kun, you got 96 points, right?
I didn't beat you.
**[17:36] Saki**
It's so frustrating.
**[17:40] Yuta**
Don't scare me like that.
**[17:43] Saki**
Sorry to make you worry.
**[17:46] Saki**
I also went somewhere different for groceries.
**[17:50] Yuta**
Did you go all the way to the department store?
**[17:53] Yuta**
Did you want to celebrate passing
the test with something special?
**[17:57] Saki**
That's half right and half not.
**[18:02] Yuta**
Can I get a practice answer?
**[18:05] Saki**
I wanted to show my gratitude.
**[18:07] Saki**
I know that might sound
kind of condescending,
**[18:13] Saki**
but I really mean it.
**[18:16] Yuta**
I haven't done anything to earn your gratitude.
**[18:19] Yuta**
We made a fair exchange.
**[18:21] Saki**
No. You did so much for me
leading up to the test.
**[18:26] Saki**
You introduced me to new music,
**[18:28] Saki**
taught me how to read modern literature...
**[18:30] Yuta**
That isn't exactly a whole lot.
**[18:33] Saki**
And yesterday, you even made me dinner.
**[18:36] Yuta**
Compared to all the cooking
you've done for over a month,
**[18:41] Yuta**
I don't think one dinner comes close.
**[18:44] Saki**
Like I said, I like to give more than I take.
**[18:49] Saki**
So today, I'm going to make you
the most elegant meal I can.
**[18:56] Saki**
Or do you feel like you can only
lean on someone older than you?
**[19:02] Yuta**
Huh?
**[19:04] Yuta**
You mean Yomiuri-senpai?
**[19:07] Yuta**
What's she got to do with this?
**[19:09] Saki**
As far as I know, she's the one and only
person you really trust to have your back.
**[19:18] Yuta**
Well, that's just because
we work together so much.
**[19:24] Saki**
You can depend on me, too.
Just like you depend on her at work.
**[19:29] Saki**
I want you to depend on me for stuff at home.
**[19:34] Saki**
Or we can just say your little sister is really
stubborn. Will you go along with it then?
**[19:47] Yuta**
Speaking as your big brother,
**[19:49] Yuta**
if I let you treat me today,
would you consider that mission success?
**[19:55] Saki**
Yes. That would make me happy.
**[20:06] Yuta**
How long are we going
to stay in here, anyway?
**[20:10] Saki**
You're right. Let's get home.
**[20:13] Yuta**
Yeah.
**[20:19] Yuta**
By the way, can I ask you one more thing?
**[20:23] Saki**
What?
**[20:25] Yuta**
I messaged you...
**[20:28] Saki**
Oh, about that...
**[20:30] Saki**
I keep running down my phone battery
listening to that music you sent me.

Yeah, I guess so.

Yeah.

Huh?

Asamura-kun.
**[21:42] Manager**
If you're tired, don't push yourself.
Take a little break.
**[21:46] Yuta**
Boss, who was that just now?
**[21:51] Manager**
Oh, she's here for a job interview.
**[21:55] Yuta**
What's her name?

Huh?

Oh, her name is Ayase Saki.

**[01:35] Saki**
*Thursday, July 16th.*
**[01:40] Saki**
*I'm never any good at these book questions.*
***SIGN*** Thursday, July 16th
**[01:44] Saki**
* I know I should concentrate*
* on figuring out the prose and*
**[01:47] Saki**
* work through the questions without*
* trying to fully understand them,*
**[01:52] Saki**
*but I just can't seem to do that.*
**[01:56] Saki**
* The way people stress over not understanding*
* each other makes no sense to me.*
**[02:01] Saki**
*I don't get it at all.*
**[02:06] Saki**
*Yeah, I know. That just makes me weird.*
**[02:11] Saki**
* Anyway, Asamura-kun is really*
* good at explaining things.*
**[02:17] Saki**
*I had honestly kind of given up,*
**[02:21] Saki**
*but thanks to him, I have hope again.*
**[02:25] Saki**
*Thanks.*
***SIGN*** Friday, July 17th
**[02:28] Saki**
*Friday, July 17th.*
**[02:32] Saki**
*The music he recommended is really great.*
**[02:36] Saki**
* Asamura-kun went out of his way*
* to find something good for me.*
**[02:39] Saki**
*I should thank him.*
**[02:57] Saki**
*It's weird.*
**[02:58] Saki**
* When I get in bed and close my eyes, my head*
* fills with all sorts of annoying thoughts.*
**[03:06] Saki**
* Asamura-kun got that music from*
* his pretty senpai at work, right?*
**[03:12] Saki**
* Not that it really matters.*
* But if I don't think it matters,*
**[03:16] Saki**
*why bother writing about it in my diary?*
***SIGN*** Saturday, July 18th
**[03:22] Saki**
* I don't get it. No matter how I look at it,*
* it doesn't make sense.*
**[03:28] Saki**
* I have no right to be*
* writing things like this...*
**[03:33] Saki**
*yet I'm doing it anyway.*
**[03:36] Saki**
*Who cares? I'm only doing this for myself.*
**[03:40] Saki**
*Asamura-kun came home late today.*
**[03:43] Saki**
*Something with a girl from work?*
**[03:46] Saki**
*He didn't say anything to me about that.*
**[03:50] Saki**
* Sure, I know. There's no reason for*
* him to report stuff like that to me.*
**[03:57] Saki**
*Was it that same girl, I wonder?*
**[04:03] Saki**
*If so, I hate this.*
**[04:09] Saki**
*Yeah, when I write it down,*
**[04:12] Saki**
* I feel like the words that come out on*
* the page don't match my true feelings.*
**[04:17] Saki**
* But of the words in my vocabulary,*
* "hate" is the one that comes closest.*
**[04:23] Saki**
* I'm so awful. I don't even*
* know anything about her.*
**[04:27] Saki**
*It makes me sick of myself.*
**[04:30] Saki**
*It's self-hatred. I feel so anxious.*
**[04:36] Saki**
* For some reason, I wanted to welcome*
* Asamura-kun home when he got back,*
**[04:43] Saki**
* so I decided to study in the living*
* room instead of my bedroom.*
**[04:50] Saki**
* In the end, I couldn't stay*
* awake until he got home.*
**[04:56] Saki**
*I didn't get to say "welcome home."*
**[04:59] Saki**
*But I did wake up with a blanket on me.*
**[05:04] Saki**
*I wonder if...*
**[05:06] Saki**
*When I had that thought,*
**[05:08] Saki**
* the anxiety I felt last night*
* seemed to clear up a little.*
***SIGN*** Sunday, July 19th
**[05:15] Saki**
*Yomiuri Shiori.*
**[05:18] Saki**
*I think that's a really pretty name.*
**[05:21] Saki**
* The kind of name that loves books,*
* is loved by books,*
**[05:25] Saki**
* and is bound to be loved by*
* other people who love books.*
**[05:30] Saki**
* Also, maybe it's because she's in*
* college, but she seems so mature.*
**[05:36] Saki**
*And she's not just beautiful.*
**[05:40] Saki**
*She also has a kind of adorable charm to her.*
**[05:44] Saki**
*I really think they'd make a good couple.*
**[05:49] Saki**
* If he could be with someone like that,*
* I'm sure Asamura-kun would...*

**[05:59] Saki**
*A bookstore, huh?*
**[06:02] Saki**
*It isn't exactly an easy, high-paying job,*
**[06:06] Saki**
*but instead of trying to take a shortcut,*
**[06:09] Saki**
* maybe it'd be worth it to*

**[06:31] Saki**
* I'm really grateful to Asamura-kun*

**[07:19] Saki**
* I'll keep studying bit by bit*
* as I save up money from work.*
**[07:25] Saki**
* Someone approached me as I was*
* looking at the help wanted poster.*
**[07:30] Saki**
* Without thinking, I told him that,*
* yes, I was interested.*

**[07:52] Saki**

**[07:55] Saki**
*I honestly don't know myself.*
**[07:58] Saki**
*How could I? There's no way...*
**[08:02] Saki**
*I'm sorry to have worried you.*
**[08:05] Saki**
* I knew I'd be late and thought*
* about letting you know,*
**[08:10] Saki**
* but then I probably would've*
* had to explain why I was late,*
**[08:17] Saki**
*so I couldn't say anything.*
**[08:20] Saki**
* Sooner or later, I'm going to have to*
* confront this anxious feeling I keep getting.*
**[08:27] Saki**
* To make up for what I did, I decided*
* to make him a really nice meal tonight.*
**[08:34] Saki**
* I figured he'd be more likely to forgive me*
* if I treated him to some good food.*
**[08:40] Saki**
*And even if he doesn't,*
**[08:43] Saki**
*he'll at least have to accept it, I guess.*
**[08:48] Saki**
* I'll convince him that I was late because*
* I stopped by the department store.*
**[08:53] Saki**
* And saying I didn't see his messages*
* because my battery died should be okay.*
**[08:59] Saki**
* The more I lie, the more I feel a seed*
* of doubt starting to sprout in my mind.*
**[09:10] Saki**
*I'm scared...*
**[09:14] Saki**
* of the feelings I'm having right now.*
* I think I have a good idea of what's happening*
**[09:21] Saki**
*and how I'm starting to feel about him.*
**[09:26] Saki**
*There's only one word to describe it,*
***SIGN*** ...never expected that he attended Suisei, too.
**[09:28] Saki**
* and I'm torn as to whether*
* I should put it down in my diary.*
***SIGN*** ...from his pretty senpai...
...that it really matters...
...don't think it matters,
why bother writing about it in my diary?
...don't get it.
***SIGN*** ...like I was thinking about him...
...I really regret that...
Yomiuri Shiori.
...really pretty name.
**[09:35] Saki**
*It's all too ironic.*
**[09:37] Saki**
* I never dreamed I'd start behaving*
* like some character in a novel.*
**[09:45] Saki**
* But I can't run away now.*
* The job interview was such a breeze.*
**[09:51] Saki**
*I'm going to have to come clean to Asamura-kun.*
**[09:56] Saki**
*I'm scared to explain it to him. I'm terrified.*
**[10:02] Saki**
* But at the same time,*
* I think it will be a relief.*
**[10:08] Saki**
*Of course it will be.*
**[10:11] Saki**
*I mean, I'll finally be free of this anxiety.*
**[10:20] Saki**
*There are parts of Asamura-kun I don't know.*
**[10:23] Saki**
* There are parts of his relationship*
* with Yomiuri-san I don't know.*
**[10:27] Saki**
*If I can at least get an idea of what those are,*
**[10:31] Saki**
* maybe this gross, anxious*
* feeling will let up a little.*
**[10:39] Saki**
*I think it will.*
**[10:44] Saki**
*I really can't believe myself.*
**[10:47] Saki**
*Why am I giving him control over my actions?*
**[10:53] Saki**
*Asamura-kun hasn't done anything.*
**[10:55] Saki**
*I'm the one who tied myself in chains*
**[10:59] Saki**
*and bound myself to him.*
**[11:03] Saki**
* Really, the whole thing is so stupid*
* it makes me want to laugh.*
**[11:11] Saki**
*I'm not going to let anyone read this anyway.*
**[11:15] Saki**
* Maybe as a sort of warning to myself,*
* I should go ahead and write the word.*
**[11:21] Saki**
* If I hide it way in the back of a drawer*
* and lock it shut, it should be safe.*
**[11:30] Saki**
*So here's a test question for you, Ayase Saki.*
**[11:38] Saki**
* Describe the nature of the unpleasant*
* feelings you're experiencing in one word.*
***SIGN*** Saturday, August 22nd
**[11:46] Taichi**
It's all so delicious again today!
**[11:48] Saki**
Oh, it's nothing special.
**[11:51] Saki**
Here, Asamura-kun.
**[11:52] Yuta**
Thanks, Ayase-san.
**[11:55] Taichi**
So, Yuta and Saki-chan, you both still
call each other by your family names?
***SIGN*** Episode 7 "Feelings and Summer Vacation"
**[11:59] Akiko**
Are you still too embarrassed
to use your given names?
**[12:04] Akiko**
Hmm, how about something
like "Big Brother Yuta"?
**[12:08] Saki**
That just doesn't feel right.
**[12:10] Akiko**
No?
**[12:11] Saki**
No.
**[12:13] Taichi**
Do you feel the same, Yuta?
**[12:15] Yuta**
I agree with Ayase-san.
It just doesn't feel right, I guess.
**[12:19] Taichi**
Hmm. Well, I suppose that's that, then.
**[12:24] Akiko**
Do you both have work again today?
**[12:27] Yuta**
Yes. I'm planning to leave by noon.
**[12:30] Saki**
Me, too.
**[12:32] Taichi**
Are you sure you should be working
so much? August is already half over.
**[12:36] Yuta**
Don't worry. I've still been going
to summer cram school.
**[12:40] Taichi**
No, that's not the issue here.
**[12:45] Taichi**
It's summer vacation, and it doesn't
sound like you've gone anywhere for fun.
**[12:50] Yuta**
Oh, that's what you meant?
**[12:52] Taichi**
This is a big deal. Once you're a third-year,
you'll have to concentrate on exams.
**[12:58] Akiko**
That's right.
**[12:59] Akiko**
And I know you tend to push
yourself a bit too hard, Saki.
**[13:03] Taichi**
Your friends are probably
missing you both right now.
**[13:08] Yuta**
That's not that many people.
Oh, for me, I mean.
**[13:13] Yuta**
Ayase-san has friends, though.
**[13:15] Saki**
We don't have any plans.
**[13:25] Yuta**
Come in.
**[13:27] Saki**
If you meant Maaya, don't worry about her.
**[13:29] Yuta**
Huh?
**[13:30] Saki**
We're not so close that we'd
hang out over summer break.
**[13:34] Yuta**
Oh.
**[13:36] Saki**
Sorry. I'm not mad or anything.
**[13:39] Saki**
But Maaya and I don't really hang
out that much to begin with.
**[13:43] Yuta**
Even though she's come over a few times?
**[13:45] Saki**
Well, that's because she was
really curious about you.
**[13:49] Saki**
And also because I invited her,
like last time.
**[13:55] Saki**
She's actually very considerate, so if we
don't make plans, she gives me my space.
**[13:59] Saki**
I'm the same way.
**[14:01] Yuta**
Well, I can kind of understand that.
**[14:05] Yuta**
I don't like hanging out with people
I'm not that close to, either.
**[14:09] Saki**
Do you like your solitude?
**[14:11] Yuta**
I think I do prefer it, yeah.
**[14:14] Saki**
Okay.
**[14:16] Saki**
I guess that's enough talk for now.
**[14:19] Saki**
See you later.
**[14:25] Shiori**
Thanks.
**[14:27] Yuta**
No problem.
**[14:40] Shiori**
She's sure getting the hang of things quickly.
**[14:45] Yuta**
Thank you very much.
**[14:48] Shiori**
Is Ayase-san okay over there?
**[14:55] Shiori**
Go give her some backup.
**[14:59] Yuta**
Okay.
**[15:03] Yuta**
Ayase-san.
**[15:06] Saki**
Asamura-san.
**[15:08] Yuta**
Did it show up in the search?
**[15:09] Saki**
It says we still have five volumes left.
**[15:14] Yuta**
It's a new release, right?
And it wasn't on the display stand?

Right.

**[15:54] Yuta**
But I remembered that the
book on the top of the pile
**[15:58] Yuta**
had already been out for a while.
**[16:01] Saki**
I didn't even notice.
**[16:04] Yuta**
Well, I do have a lot more experience.
**[16:08] Saki**
I still think it's impressive.
**[16:10] Yuta**
Yomiuri probably would
have found it even quicker.
**[16:15] Saki**
Oh.
**[16:26] Saki**
I guess it's already fall.
**[16:26] Yuta**
I guess summer isn't over yet.
**[16:30] Saki**
Huh?
**[16:30] Yuta**
Eh?
**[16:31] Saki**
Do you mean because of this heat?
**[16:34] Yuta**
What did you mean?
**[16:36] Saki**
Well, look over there.
**[16:39] Yuta**
That means... it's fall?
**[16:42] Saki**
Are you being serious right now?
**[16:44] Saki**
I mean, they were wearing
different clothes until yesterday.
**[16:48] Yuta**
They were?
**[16:50] Saki**
No way. Asamura-kun, are you one of
those people with zero interest in fashion?
**[16:56] Yuta**
Have you ever seen me
reading a fashion magazine?
**[17:01] Saki**
I guess not.
**[17:03] Saki**
If you're not interested,
I guess you really wouldn't notice.
**[17:08] Yuta**
Looks like you're right.
**[17:12] Saki**
Well, I can't imagine you working at
a clothing boutique, so I guess it's fine.
**[17:18] Yuta**
Where did that come from?
**[17:22] Saki**
Never mind.
***SIGN*** Sunday, August 23rd
**[17:30] Yuta**
It's broken?
**[17:32] Taichi**
Yeah. This is our oldest one, after all.
**[17:37] Yuta**
Is Ayase-san in her room?
**[17:38] Akiko**
Well, she was until just before you got up,
**[17:43] Akiko**
but she really doesn't
handle the heat very well.
**[17:47] Yuta**
Is that right?
**[17:50] Akiko**
It was a real problem when she was younger.
**[17:55] Akiko**
When summer came,
she'd always demand ice cream
**[17:59] Akiko**
and throw tantrums saying,
"Take me to the pool!"
**[18:04] Akiko**
Once she got into middle school,
that started to change.
**[18:08] Akiko**
She became more like she is now.
**[18:12] Akiko**
She stopped being such a handful,
but I still miss those old days.
**[18:22] Saki**
* My mom started working*
* twice as hard to provide for me.*
**[18:33] Yuta**
Yes?
**[18:35] Yuta**
Yeah.
**[18:37] Yuta**
Yeah. Right now?
**[18:43] Maru**
So anyway, Asamura, I heard you're going
to the pool with Narasaka and some people?
**[18:49] Yuta**
Huh? What are you talking about?
**[18:51] Maru**
What? I'm talking about you and Ayase
going to the pool with Narasaka.
**[18:58] Yuta**
Haven't heard a thing.
**[19:00] Maru**
Didn't you get invited?
**[19:02] Yuta**
Nope.
**[19:04] Maru**
Then maybe they'll invite you later.
**[19:07] Yuta**
Yeah, maybe so...
**[19:10] Maru**
Hey, aren't you short on time?
**[19:12] Yuta**
Oh, y-yeah.
**[19:14] Maru**
Then we should go.
Lemme hit the bathroom first.
**[19:17] Yuta**
Sure.
**[19:26] Yuta**
Getting used to work?
**[19:27] Saki**
Yes. Thanks to your help.
**[19:31] Yuta**
You're dependable and
a quick learner, Ayase-san.
**[19:34] Saki**
Thanks.
**[19:36] Yuta**
The other employees were praising you, too.
**[19:39] Saki**
Yeah?
**[19:52] Yuta**
I guess it is like my dad said.
**[19:55] Yuta**
Feels like we're spending
our whole break working.
**[19:59] Saki**
Yeah.
**[20:21] Yuta**
Ayase-san.
**[20:26] Yuta**
By any chance, did Narasaka-san
invite you to go to the pool?
**[20:33] Yuta**
Did she maybe invite me, too?
**[20:38] Saki**
Did Maaya tell you that?
**[20:41] Yuta**
No, Narasaka-san doesn't have my contact info.
**[20:46] Saki**
Then how would you know about it?
**[20:49] Yuta**
Someone else told me.
I hadn't heard anything before that.
**[20:54] Saki**
Do you want to go, Asamura-kun?
**[20:57] Yuta**
Huh? Uh...
**[21:00] Yuta**
To be honest, I think I'd feel out of place
at a pool with a bunch of cheery people.
**[21:05] Yuta**
Not really my thing.
**[21:08] Saki**
Oh.
**[21:12] Yuta**
Ayase-san?
**[21:14] Saki**
Then you don't need to force yourself to go.
**[21:19] Yuta**
Aren't you going? To the pool?
**[21:21] Saki**
No, I'm not.
**[21:30] (Flashback) Saki**
Starting tomorrow,
I'm going to be working at your store.
**[21:34] (Flashback) Yuta**
Why didn't you tell me you applied for a job?
**[21:40] (Flashback) Saki**
It would've been embarrassing
if I didn't get it.

Mommy, wait!
**[00:42] (Flashback) Akiko**
What is it, Saki? If you snack now,
you won't be hungry for dinner.
**[00:48] (Flashback) Young Saki**
I don't care! I want ice cream right now!
**[00:50] (Flashback) Akiko**
You do? Well, that's a shame.
**[00:53] (Flashback) Akiko**
Dinner tonight's going to be beef stew.
**[00:56] (Flashback) Young Saki**
Huh?
**[00:57] (Flashback) Akiko**
I was planning to make a
yummy, yummy beef stew.
**[01:04] (Flashback) Young Saki**
I wanna eat dinner!
**[01:07] (Flashback) Akiko**
Is that so? Then can we save
the ice cream for another time?
**[01:12] (Flashback) Young Saki**
Yeah, we can!
**[01:17] (Flashback) Akiko**
Saki, where should we go next week?
**[01:19] (Flashback) Young Saki**
The pool!

**[02:56] Akiko**
Do you have cram school today?
**[02:58] Yuta**
Yes.
**[02:59] Yuta**
It looks like the AC's fixed now.
**[03:01] Akiko**
It sure does. I'm glad
we got it fixed so quickly.
**[03:05] Akiko**
Now my girl should be able
to study at home again.
**[03:08] Yuta**
Oh...
**[03:11] Yuta**
That's right.
**[03:15] Yuta**
Say...
**[03:17] Akiko**
Hmm?
**[03:18] Yuta**
Does Ayase-san dislike people who divert
her from doing what she wants to do?
**[03:25] Akiko**
Um, what do you mean?
**[03:27] Yuta**
Well, for example, planning something
without her input and then asking her to join.
**[03:33] Akiko**
Oh, I see.
**[03:35] Akiko**
Considering her personality, I don't think
she'd appreciate that very much.
**[03:40] Akiko**
She'd want it all to be
aboveboard from start to finish.
**[03:44] Yuta**
Yeah, that's what I figured.
**[03:47] Akiko**
Oh? Yuta-kun, are you thinking
of asking Saki on a date?
**[03:51] Yuta**
O-Of course not! Ayase-san is my sister.
**[03:56] Akiko**
I'm just kidding.
**[03:58] Yuta**
Ayase-san just seems like the
type to go a little overboard.
**[04:03] Yuta**
I think you mentioned
something like that before.
**[04:05] Yuta**
That she pushes herself too hard.
**[04:07] Akiko**
Mm-hmm.
**[04:09] Yuta**
She always seems to be on guard.
**[04:12] Yuta**
I wonder if she ever actually
gives herself a break.
**[04:18] Akiko**
And that's why you're thinking about
dragging her out to have some fun?
**[04:24] Akiko**
I wonder if she's that way
because I was always so busy.
**[04:27] Akiko**
It's like she's trying to grow
up as fast as possible.
**[04:32] Akiko**
I wish I could have given Saki a little
more time to be a carefree child.
**[04:39] Akiko**
Yuta-kun.
**[04:42] Akiko**
I'd like to ask a favor.
You can insist if you have to,
**[04:47] Akiko**
but make sure Saki takes a break
every once in a while.
**[04:51] Yuta**
All right. Um, but she might hate me for it.
**[04:56] Akiko**
Don't worry!
**[04:57] Akiko**
If it comes to that, I'll let you in on
what Saki's absolute favorite thing is.
**[05:01] Yuta**
And I can use that to get her to forgive me?
**[05:04] Akiko**
Yes, that's for sure.
**[05:22] Saki**
What?
**[05:24] Yuta**
Listen, about Narasaka-san and the pool—
**[05:27] Saki**
I'm not going.
**[05:29] Saki**
I don't have the time.
**[05:32] Yuta**
All right. That's that, then.
**[05:36] Yuta**
But I changed my mind
and am thinking of going.
**[05:40] Yuta**
So do you think you could give me
Narasaka-san's contact info?
**[05:46] Saki**
No way.
**[05:47] Yuta**
Huh?
**[05:49] Yuta**
U-Um...
**[05:50] Saki**
It's bad manners to give out someone's
contact info without their permission.
**[05:54] Yuta**
Oh... That's true.
**[05:57] Saki**
I'll try asking Maaya.
I'll let you know when I get an answer.
**[06:11] Kaho**
Um...
**[06:12] Yuta**
Huh?
**[06:16] Kaho**
You dropped this.
**[06:17] Yuta**
Oh... When did I...
**[06:20] Yuta**
Thank you very much.
**[06:25] Shiori**
Well, what a coincidence!
But is it really a coincidence?
**[06:30] Yuta**
I just happened to be in the area.
I go to a cram school nearby.
**[06:34] Shiori**
Roger dodger.
**[06:36] Yuta**
Anyway, who were you just talking to?
**[06:39] Shiori**
That was a professor from my college.
**[06:41] Shiori**
I never expected you to catch me
getting trounced like that.
**[06:45] Yuta**
Ah... It must be exhausting having
a serious debate with a professor.
**[06:49] Shiori**
That's for sure.
**[06:51] Shiori**
But I know how to rejuvenate now and then
when I'm exhausted, so I'll be okay.
**[06:56] Yuta**
Rejuvenate?
**[06:57] Shiori**
Teasing you replenishes
the vigor in my heart, son.
**[07:01] Shiori**
Oh, thank you kindly for giving
me something to lean on!

Oh, well...
**[09:06] Yuta**
You're always doing everything for me.
Is this okay for dinner?
**[09:12] Saki**
Sure. You can warm it up in the microwave.

Okay. Got it.

Oh, sure.
**[09:46] Yuta**
Iced okay?
**[09:48] Saki**
Yeah.
**[09:51] Yuta**
So, about the pool thing with Narasaka-san...
**[09:57] Saki**
You're bringing that up again?
**[09:58] Yuta**
Yeah, well, I haven't gotten
the contact info I need yet.
**[10:04] Yuta**
She's probably still waiting
for a response from me.
**[10:07] Saki**
Fine. I'll give it to you.
**[10:10] Yuta**
Ah, wait!
**[10:11] Yuta**
I don't actually care about her contact info.
**[10:14] Yuta**
I'm not doing this because
I want to go to the pool.
**[10:18] Yuta**
I want you to go and have fun there.
**[10:22] Saki**
I don't get it.
**[10:24] Yuta**
I mean, if I said I wanted to go,
I thought you might get jealous.
**[10:31] Saki**
Me?
**[10:32] Yuta**
Yeah, you.
**[10:36] Saki**
But why would I get jealous?
**[10:38] Yuta**
Well, don't you actually
want to go to the pool?
**[10:46] Yuta**
Sorry. Akiko-san told me a few things.
**[10:49] Yuta**
She said that ever since you were little,
you hated the heat and love the pool.
**[10:55] Saki**
But that was when I was a kid.
**[11:03] Yuta**
Ayase-san...
**[11:05] Yuta**
Ayase-san, you always seem a little different
when you talk about Narasaka-san.
**[11:14] Yuta**
Like when we made sweet 'n' sour pork,
**[11:17] Yuta**
you looked really happy.
You had this glowing smile.
**[11:23] Yuta**
So I figured that if Narasaka-san
asked you to go to the pool,
**[11:29] Yuta**
you'd probably actually want to go.
**[11:33] Saki**
I told you. I don't have the time.
**[11:36] Yuta**
Yeah, I know.
**[11:39] Saki**
I have to study.
**[11:41] Yuta**
Right. I get that.
**[11:43] Yuta**
But you still need to find time to rel—
**[11:45] Saki**
I can't relax!
**[11:51] Yuta**
This is why I worry about you.
**[11:55] Yuta**
If you keep pushing yourself like this,
sooner or later, you're gonna crash.
**[11:59] Yuta**
I know you want to hurry up
and become independent,
**[12:03] Yuta**
but you still have to make time to rest.
**[12:13] Yuta**

**[12:32] Saki**

**[14:12] Yuta**
Good morning, Ayase-san.
**[14:15] Saki**
Good morning.
**[14:17] Yuta**
Did you not get to sleep?
**[14:19] Saki**
I did.
**[14:20] Saki**
At about six o'clock.
**[14:22] Yuta**
Six? You should try to sleep a bit more.
**[14:26] Yuta**
You don't have work until tonight.
**[14:28] Saki**
I'll be fine. What time is it?
**[14:32] Saki**
Oh, it's already that late?
**[14:35] Saki**
I'm really sorry. There wasn't
anything for your dad to eat.
**[14:39] Yuta**
It's okay. He had some bread before he left.
**[14:44] Saki**
I've never slept in this late before.
**[14:47] Yuta**
Probably the exhaustion catching up with you.
**[14:49] Yuta**
It's okay if you want to rest a little longer.
**[14:52] Saki**
I'm really sorry.
**[14:54] Saki**
I can make something for you right now.
**[15:00] Yuta**
Ayase-san.
**[15:06] Saki**
Yes?
**[15:08] Yuta**
I want you to listen to me and not walk away.
**[15:11] Saki**
About what?
**[15:14] Yuta**
About this.
**[15:15] Yuta**
When you moved in, do you
remember what you said to me?
**[15:20] Yuta**
When we decided to stop
talking formally to each other.
**[15:27] Saki**
"It's a big help if we can
smooth things out this easily."
**[15:32] Yuta**
Yeah.
**[15:33] Yuta**
And right now, I can tell
how sleep-deprived you are.
**[15:38] Yuta**
I don't want to make you
cook for me in this state.
**[15:42] Saki**
But it was all my idea to do the cooking.
**[15:48] Yuta**
Rules are one thing.
But in reality, things change.
**[15:52] Yuta**
Your mission today, Ayase-san,
is not to cook but to sleep.
**[15:57] Saki**
B-But...
**[15:59] Yuta**
I wouldn't be saying this if you
were your normal self today.
**[16:03] Yuta**
But you know, you've never slept
in this late before. Isn't that right?
**[16:10] Yuta**
So these are unusual circumstances.
**[16:13] Saki**
I'm just a little short on sleep.
**[16:15] Yuta**
That's reason enough.
**[16:18] Yuta**
You have a right to take a seat in this chair.
**[16:22] Yuta**
Come on.
**[16:29] Saki**
Okay.
**[16:35] Yuta**
Think you can eat a piece of toast?
**[16:38] Saki**
Yeah.
**[16:39] Yuta**
Should I grill the ham?
**[16:40] Saki**
I do like it grilled.
**[16:43] Yuta**
You always brown it a bit, right?
**[16:47] Saki**
That's the way I like it.
**[16:49] Yuta**
Me, too. It's better a little crispy.
**[17:15] Yuta**
Want some hot milk?
**[17:18] Saki**
Huh?
**[17:19] Saki**
But it's summer.
**[17:21] Yuta**
The air conditioning is on.
**[17:23] Yuta**
Also, if you're going back to sleep,
**[17:26] Yuta**
it might help to get a
warm drink inside you first.
**[17:32] Saki**
I'll take one.
**[17:34] Yuta**
You got it.
**[17:45] Yuta**
Let's eat.
**[17:48] Saki**
Let's eat.
**[17:59] Yuta**
Here.
**[18:46] Yuta**
Oh, I forgot. Here's a spoon.
**[18:50] Saki**
Thanks.
**[19:35] Saki**
We should go to the pool.
**[19:37] Yuta**
Huh?
**[19:42] Yuta**
Really? That's great.
**[19:46] Saki**
But there's one problem.
**[19:48] Yuta**
Huh?
**[19:49] Saki**
You and I both have work that day.
**[19:53] Yuta**
Huh? What day is it?
**[19:56] Saki**
Day after tomorrow.
**[19:58] Yuta**
Seriously?
**[20:00] Saki**
Yeah, seriously.
**[20:03] Yuta**
But since you've decided to go,
let's make it happen.
**[20:07] Saki**
Make it happen how?
**[20:08] Yuta**
We can trade shifts with other people.
**[20:11] Saki**
Can we really do that?
**[20:13] Yuta**
Sure, no problem. It'll work out.
**[20:29] Yuta**
Aren't you hot? Are you okay?
**[20:32] Saki**
I'm fine. The breeze helps.
**[20:36] Saki**
Sorry about yesterday.
**[20:38] Yuta**
Huh?
**[20:39] Saki**
After you came to work with Yomiuri-san,
I was kind of in a bad mood, wasn't I?
**[20:44] Yuta**
Um...
**[20:46] Saki**
It's against the rules to hide it
when we feel uncomfortable, right?
**[20:50] Saki**
It's okay. I'll be totally open with you.
**[20:54] Saki**
If you two are going out,
I want you to come out and tell me.
**[21:01] Yuta**
We aren't going out.
**[21:02] Saki**
Oh, you aren't?
**[21:06] Yuta**
Why did you think we were?
**[21:09] Saki**
I don't know... Let's just leave it at that.
**[21:19] Saki**
Listen, I think she's a really great person.
**[21:24] Saki**
She's kind, considerate, beautiful,
and she has a good sense of humor.
**[21:31] Saki**
Wait, why am I here promoting Yomiuri-san?
**[21:35] Yuta**
Huh? Uh...
**[21:39] Saki**
If I say things like that,
it may influence you.
**[21:43] Saki**
I should keep it to myself. Sorry.
**[21:48] Yuta**
You're forgiven.
**[21:49] Yuta**
But you really need to stop apologizing.
**[21:52] Saki**
Okay. Got it.
**[22:02] Yuta**
Uh...
**[22:05] Yuta**
Why in the world did I bring my bike?
**[22:08] Saki**
Huh?
**[22:09] Yuta**
I don't need it if we're walking together.
**[22:13] Saki**
I figured you must've had some reason.
**[22:17] Yuta**
No, not at all. It was just out of habit.
**[22:22] Saki**
Well, that happens sometimes.
**[22:25] Yuta**
Habits sure are hard to break.
**[22:28] Saki**
Let's leave it at that.
**[22:34] Saki**
It'll be fun.
**[23:04] Taichi**
*Sunday, August 6th.*
**[23:08] Taichi**
*We're at the beach today.*
**[23:10] Taichi**
*It's really sunny. The breeze feels great.*
**[23:17] Taichi**
*Oh, Yuta! Don't run, okay?*
**[23:20] Young Yuta**
*Dad, look!*
**[23:23] Taichi**
*Hey, you found a bunch!*
**[23:26] Young Yuta**
*Look at this! I'm gonna give this one to Mom!*
**[23:28] Taichi**
* Oh, really? I bet that'll*
* make her really happy.*
**[23:32] Young Yuta**
*Yeah!*
**[23:34] Young Yuta**
*I really wanted her to come with us, though.*
**[23:38] Taichi**
*We'll come together another time.*
**[23:40] Young Yuta**
*Okay!*
**[23:41] Young Yuta**
*Oh! Next time, let's go to the pool!*
**[23:44] Taichi**
*Oh!*

**[00:08] Saki**
*He's always very neutral with people.*
**[00:12] Saki**
* He compromises to get along with*
* me and my difficult personality.*
**[00:16] Saki**
*He doesn't have any preconceptions about me.*
**[00:20] Saki**
* He appreciates all the effort and*
* hard work I try not to let people see.*
**[00:25] Saki**
*He understands what I'm like.*
**[00:33] Saki**
*So I want to get to know him better.*
**[00:38] Saki**
*I wish I could understand him, too.*
**[00:42] Saki**
*Asamura Yuta...*
**[00:44] Saki**
*I'm attracted to him.*
**[00:51] Saki**
* He's the kind of guy who*
* pays attention to detail.*
***SIGN*** THE BEEHIVE
***SIGN*** TAMURA KANAE
***SIGN*** Just out on August 22!
**[00:55] Saki**
* It took him no time to find a book*
* I'd spent ten minutes searching for.*
**[01:02] Saki**
* But then, when he told me she*
* would've found it even quicker...*
**[01:08] Saki**
* I realized how small-minded*
* I must be, and it frustrates me.*
**[01:16] Saki**
* The next day... Isn't that when*
* the AC in the living room broke?*
**[01:22] Saki**
*That evening, Asamura-kun confronted me.*
**[01:27] Saki**
* He asked if Maaya had*
* invited us to go to the pool.*
***SIGN*** Oh.
**[01:31] Saki**
* I don't even want to*
* remember how I reacted.*
***SIGN*** Then you don't need to force yourself to go.
**[01:35] Saki**
*I mean, I can't waste my time playing.*
***SIGN*** Aren't you going? To the pool?
**[01:40] Saki**
*I just can't.*
***SIGN*** No, I'm not.
**[01:44] Saki**
*I think I was really at my limit.*
**[01:51] Saki**
* I lashed out at him with*
* a dismissive response*
**[01:54] Saki**
* because I didn't want to*
* hear any more about it.*
***SIGN*** I'm going on ahead
**[01:57] Saki**
* What I said was so harsh, I can hardly*
* believe it came from my own mouth.*
***SIGN*** I don't
want to.
***SIGN*** Yeah, thanks.
**[02:06] Saki**
*I sounded like a child.*
**[02:11] Saki**
*That was such a horrible day.*
**[02:14] Saki**
* The worst part was that I knew*
* I was having these awful thoughts,*
**[02:18] Saki**
* but I didn't want to be*
* forced to deal with them.*
**[02:24] Saki**
*She has such long, beautiful hair.*
**[02:27] Saki**
* Even I think it's lovely.*
* It suits Asamura-kun's modest style.*
**[02:34] Saki**
* I wonder if he likes girls*
* with long, pretty hair.*
**[02:41] Saki**
*At least my hair is long, too.*
**[02:47] Saki**
*What in the world am I thinking? Seriously...*
**[02:53] Saki**
* After finishing dinner,*
* he brought it up again.*
**[02:57] Saki**
* He said he wanted me*
* to go have fun at the pool.*
**[03:01] Saki**
* Why is he worried about something like that?*
* I need to spend my time studying.*
**[03:07] Saki**
*I can't afford to go out and play.*
**[03:15] Saki**
*Ah, I've seen that look before.*
**[03:20] Saki**
*When I was in middle school,*
**[03:22] Saki**
* there was one time when Mom*
* wanted to take me to the beach.*
**[03:27] Saki**
*Considering our financial situation,*
**[03:30] Saki**
*I didn't think we could afford it.*
***SIGN*** It's okay. I've got tests coming up.
**[03:34] Saki**
* I didn't want to force Mom*
* to take a day off work.*
***SIGN*** Okay, maybe next time.
**[03:39] Saki**
* That's when she made that face.*
* A kind of disappointed look.*
**[03:45] (Flashback) Taichi**
Sunday, August 6th.
**[03:48] (Flashback) Taichi**
We're at the beach today.
**[03:50] (Flashback) Taichi**
Oh, Yuta! Don't run, okay?
**[03:57] (Flashback) Taichi**
Gosh, what did I just say?
**[04:00] (Flashback) Taichi**
Here. Can you stand up?
**[04:18] (Flashback) Young Saki**
Wanna play?
**[04:36] Saki**
*It feels so warm.*
**[04:39] Saki**
*Even in this cool breeze,*
**[04:43] Saki**
*the inside of me feels nice and warm.*
**[04:48] Saki**
* And when I take a deep breath*
* and exhale, I feel lighter somehow.*
**[04:54] Saki**
*In both body and mind.*
**[04:58] Saki**
*I've been thinking about it a lot...*
**[05:05] Saki**
*and I guess I could go to the pool.*

Saki...
**[06:53] (Flashback) Akiko**
Saki.
**[06:56] (Flashback) Akiko**
Saki?
**[07:02] (Flashback) Akiko**
Look. We're here.
**[07:20] (Flashback) Young Saki**
They're so cute.
**[07:23] (Flashback) Young Saki**
They're so cool!
**[07:28] (Flashback) Akiko**
Are you sure this is the one you want?
**[07:30] (Flashback) Young Saki**
Yup! This is the one!
**[07:35] (Flashback) Young Saki**
Growr!
**[08:03] (Flashback) Young Saki**
Mommy, look at this!
**[08:08] Tomoya**
Asamura, don't you work at a bookstore?
**[08:10] girl**
Do you really?
**[08:11] girl**
Wow!
**[08:11] Yuta**
Yeah.
**[08:12] Keisuke**
Can you make a lot of money at a bookstore?
**[08:14] boy**
Well? Well?
**[08:15] Yuta**
Oh, I don't know.
**[08:16] Maaya**
Sounds great!
**[08:17] Yuta**
It's the first job I've ever had.
**[08:19] Yumi**
But all you've done over break is work
and study? That's so responsible!
**[08:23] Maaya**
Responsible! Mr. Responsible!
**[08:25] Daisuke**
All I've done is sleep the whole time.
**[08:27] girl**
For real!
**[08:28] Yuta**
I'm not that responsible, though.
**[08:29] girl**
I'm the same way.
**[08:30] boy**
Aw, don't be modest!
**[08:31] Maaya**
Totally!
**[08:34] Saki**
*Today's the day.*
**[08:37] Saki**
* I'm not really that good*
* at dealing with friends.*
**[08:43] Saki**
*I'm always bad at reading the room.*
**[08:47] Saki**
*But today actually wasn't too painful.*
**[08:52] Saki**
*I think I have Asamura-kun to thank for that.*
**[08:55] Saki**
*He's a lot better with people than I am.*
**[08:59] Saki**
* But when he doesn't like*
* something, he just says so.*
**[09:04] Saki**
* I think that's one of the reasons*
* I'm attracted to him.*
**[09:08] boy**
Yahoo!
**[09:41] Maaya**
All right, now we're going to play
some kickboard Othello! It's super easy!
**[09:46] all**
Okay!
**[09:50] Saki**
*Instead of trying to stand out,*
**[09:53] Saki**
* he's always trying to make*
* sure everyone else has fun.*
**[09:57] Saki**
*I thought that was really cool.*
**[10:03] Saki**
* Even though it seems like*
* nobody else notices.*
**[10:08] Saki**
*Maybe I'm the only one who does.*
**[10:12] Saki**
* I don't know. That makes*
* me feel kind of proud...*
***SIGN*** What you just did...
***SIGN*** That was really cool
**[10:18] Saki**
*and a little scared.*
**[10:21] Yuta**
I mean, I don't want to become the center
of attention and then risk screwing up.
**[10:27] Yuta**
It's a team game, after all.
**[10:30] Saki**
Really?
**[10:32] Saki**
Well, ignoring the objective
reality of the situation,
**[10:36] Saki**
subjectively, I wanted
to compliment you for it.
**[10:40] Saki**
I just thought it was really cool.
**[10:43] Saki**
Like a stagehand who's devoted
to assisting everyone.
**[10:48] Yuta**
Are stagehands really that cool, though?
**[10:51] Saki**
Well, everyone's standards are different.
**[10:56] Yuta**
I guess that's true.
**[10:59] Yuta**
But if you keep talking like that,
I'm gonna get embarrassed.
**[11:09] Saki**
No, that was it.
**[11:40] Saki**
All right. Maybe I'll go swim a little more.
**[11:57] boy**
Let's go!
**[11:58] boy**
Okay!
**[11:58] boy**
Here!
**[12:00] boy**
Got it!
**[12:16] Yuta**
*Uh-oh.*
**[12:38] Yuta**
*I like her.*
**[12:49] Yuta**
*Honestly, I've never been great with girls.*
**[12:53] Yuta**
*Probably because of how my mom and dad were.*
**[12:57] Yuta**
* It gave me a really cynical view of*
* relationships between men and women.*
**[13:02] Yuta**
* That's why I've never fallen in love*
* with anyone before now.*
**[13:10] Yuta**
*And yet...*
**[13:12] Yuta**
* This emotion, this feeling that most people*
* regard as so sacred and glorious...*
**[13:19] Yuta**
*How did it sneak up on me like this?*
**[13:23] Yuta**
*And why right now?*
**[13:25] Yuta**
*And why, of all people...*
**[13:30] Yuta**
*She's my little sister.*
**[13:32] Yuta**
*But she's also Ayase-san.*
**[13:37] Yuta**
*My...*
**[13:40] Yuta**
*little stepsister.*
**[13:44] Saki**
You and Maaya have sure gotten friendly.
**[13:47] Yuta**
Huh? Oh, yeah, I wanted to
thank her for the invitation.
**[13:53] Yuta**
She really took care of everything.
I had a great time.
**[13:58] Yuta**
Narasaka-san is pretty incredible.
**[14:01] Saki**
Thank you.
**[14:02] Yuta**
Huh?
**[14:03] Saki**
She's my friend. I'm happy to hear
that people appreciate her.
**[14:11] Yuta**
Did you have a good time?
**[14:13] Saki**
Yeah, thanks to you.
**[14:24] Saki**
Ever since I was a kid,
I've liked swimming at pools.
**[14:27] Saki**
I hadn't been able to enjoy swimming
for a while, so this was really fun.
**[14:33] Saki**
I'm really glad I listened to you, Asamura-kun.
**[14:42] Yuta**
I mean, I didn't really do anything.
**[14:48] Yuta**
Ayase-sa—
**[15:05] Yuta**
That sure startled me.
**[15:07] Saki**
I did see a lot of people in yukata today.
**[15:22] Saki**
Asamura-kun, I think you're incredibly
thoughtful and considerate.
**[15:27] Yuta**
Huh?
**[15:28] Saki**
I really admire that.
**[15:34] Yuta**
You think so?
**[15:36] Saki**
Yeah, I think so.
**[15:41] Saki**
*I realized this was my chance to say it.*
**[15:44] Saki**
You see how hard people try.
**[15:47] Saki**
I know I said this at the pool,
but I think that part of you is really cool.
**[15:53] Saki**
* He shines so brightly in my life.*
* He looks so cool to me.*
**[16:01] Saki**
I think you're great...
**[16:04] Saki**
*Which is why...*
**[16:09] Saki**
Big Brother.
**[16:17] Saki**
Um, sorry. Did I surprise you?
**[16:21] Saki**
You're always taking care of me
and going out of your way for me.
**[16:27] Saki**
You're someone I can truly rely on.
Like a real brother, you know?
**[16:33] Yuta**
I'm glad, Ayase-san.
**[16:37] Saki**
But it still sounds kind of weird, huh?
**[16:41] Yuta**
I don't think so.
**[16:43] Saki**
You don't?
**[16:47] Yuta**
*Honestly, that was a close call.*
**[16:50] Yuta**
* Her calling me that, as unexpected as it was,*
* brought me back to my senses.*
**[16:57] Yuta**
* Ayase-san's friendly behavior, her praise...*
* It was all for her brother.*
**[17:06] Yuta**
*She trusts me.*
**[17:08] Yuta**
* Meanwhile, here I was,*
* trying to break all our rules.*
**[17:24] Yuta**
I can't do this.
**[17:27] Yuta**
How am I supposed to act when I get home?
**[17:32] Saki**
* I hope he didn't notice how much*
* my hands were trembling.*
**[17:37] Saki**
*I have to keep repeating it to myself.*
**[17:41] Saki**
*The two of you are siblings, girl!*
**[17:46] Saki**
*But maybe, just maybe...*
**[17:49] Saki**
* If Asamura-kun did like me and*
* chose to share how he felt with me,*
**[17:57] Saki**
*would I be able to fully reject those feelings?*
**[18:02] Saki**
*I'm scared.*
**[18:05] Saki**
* If he takes even one step forward,*
* I just know I would...*
**[18:13] Saki**
*I would completely fall apart.*
***SIGN*** Friday, August 28th
**[18:24] Saki**
Oh, Mom? What about work?
**[18:26] Akiko**
I took the day off.
**[18:28] Taichi**
Is Yuta still in bed?
**[18:31] Akiko**
He must be exhausted. Why don't
we let him sleep a little longer?
**[18:35] Taichi**
Saki-chan, do you have work again today?
**[18:38] Saki**
I took yesterday and today off.
**[18:40] Akiko**
Did Yuta-kun, too?
**[18:42] Saki**
Yeah.
**[18:43] Akiko**
Great! Then we can all spend
some time together!
**[18:46] Akiko**
The whole family!
**[18:49] Saki**
*I'm glad she's happy.*
**[18:51] Saki**
* I want her to be happy enough*
* to make up for all the hard times.*
**[18:56] Saki**
*So I... Yeah.*
**[18:59] Saki**
* That's why I'm going to*
* lock away these feelings.*
**[19:04] Saki**
*I don't want to spoil our parents' happiness.*
**[19:09] Saki**
*I don't want to cause trouble for Asamura-kun.*
**[19:28] Saki**
*I pray that nobody finds out how I feel.*
**[19:39] Akiko**
Saki told us that you have
the day off from work.
**[19:44] Yuta**
That's right.
**[19:44] Taichi**
And at this point, you're a
confirmed cram school skipper, too!
**[19:50] Yuta**
You mean you knew about that
and still didn't wake me up?
**[19:54] Taichi**
This sort of thing is good
for you once in a while.
**[19:59] Akiko**
Thank you, Yuta-kun.
**[20:01] Yuta**
Huh?
**[20:03] Akiko**
For taking Saki to the pool.
**[20:07] Yuta**
Oh.
**[20:08] Yuta**
Actually, it was Ayase-san's
friend who invited us.
**[20:14] Akiko**
But if you hadn't dragged her along,
that girl probably wouldn't have gone.
**[20:24] Yuta**
You might be right about that.
**[20:27] Akiko**
I'm so glad you're her older brother.
**[20:34] Akiko**
Oh, that's right, Yuta-kun!
Saki's favorite thing!
**[20:38] Yuta**
Oh, what you mentioned before?
**[20:40] Akiko**
Yeah. I'll show you what it is.
**[20:43] Akiko**
Here.
**[20:46] Yuta**
Huh? This is it?
**[20:48] Saki**
I'm back.
**[20:49] Akiko**
Welcome home! Ooh, that's new!
**[20:53] Yuta**
Welcome ho—
**[20:55] Taichi**
Whoa, you look totally different!
**[20:58] Akiko**
It looks great on you!
**[20:59] Taichi**
Yeah!
**[21:03] Yuta**
Welcome home, Ayase-san.
**[21:11] Saki**
Thank you, Big Brother.
**[21:21] Saki**
* I pulled my diary out and*
* reread what I'd written so far.*
**[21:26] Saki**
* I realized that I'd been much more blunt*
* and honest in my diary than I thought.*
**[21:34] Saki**
* All of my thoughts about growing*
* more and more attracted to him*
**[21:39] Saki**
*were spelled out right there on the page.*
**[22:14] Saki**
* But my diary entries for this week*
* will only exist in my mind.*
**[22:21] Saki**
*If I leave a written record,*
**[22:23] Saki**
* there's always a chance that*
* he may find it someday.*
**[22:53] Saki**
* I'm never going to write down*
* how I truly feel ever again.*
**[23:01] Saki**
* When I want to relive my memories,*
* I'll do it inside my head.*
**[23:06] Saki**
* I shouldn't spend my days trying to*
* connect with him as just some girl.*
**[23:15] Saki**
*I'm only his little sister.*
**[23:19] Saki**
*I have to live with him as his stepsister.*
**[23:23] Saki**
*And in my life as his stepsister,*
**[23:26] Saki**
*I don't need a diary anymore.*

**[00:06] Maaya**
The setup team can come up
with ideas for the interior decor.
**[00:10] Maaya**
For outfits, maybe coordinate one thing with
the costume team and leave the rest to them.
**[00:17] Maaya**
The food team will decide the menu.
**[00:21] Maaya**
Please come up with a budget for snacks,
drinks, and... oh, also disposable utensils.
**[00:26] Maaya**
We can decide on the café rules later.
**[00:31] Maaya**
Once each team has an estimate,
**[00:32] Maaya**
we'll turn in our budget proposal
to the student council.
**[00:35] Maaya**
So thanks and do your best, everyone!
**[00:37] students**
All right!
**[00:37] students**
Okay!
**[00:38] students**
Got it.

Okay, dismissed!

Hey, since we're done early,

Oh, the place by the station?

Sounds fun! Let's go, let's go!

**[01:25] Saki**
* A stepbrother is really*
* nothing more than a stranger.*
**[01:31] Saki**
* And that's perfectly normal, because even*
* if we suddenly become siblings one day,*
**[01:37] Saki**
*we have no shared experience living together.*
**[01:40] Saki**
* People say that strangers*
* all begin as siblings first,*
**[01:44] Saki**
*but in the case of stepsiblings,*
**[01:47] Saki**
* they start off as strangers and*
* stay strangers until the very end.*
**[01:56] Saki**
*That's what I used to think.*

**[03:37] Saki**
I'm back.
**[03:40] Akiko**
Welcome home!
**[03:42] Saki**
Oh, are you okay for time?
**[03:44] Akiko**
Yes. I called in and let them know,
so I don't have to rush.
**[03:50] Saki**
For real?
**[03:51] Saki**
You said we needed to talk about the
parent-teacher meeting, so I hurried home.
**[03:55] Akiko**
Sorry about that.
**[03:56] Saki**
If it didn't have to be in person,
you could've just messaged me.
**[04:01] Akiko**
I guess so.
**[04:03] Akiko**
But I didn't think text would get everything
across, and I wanted to be sure, you know?
**[04:10] Saki**
Yeah, sure... I guess?
**[04:17] Akiko**
How are things going with Yuta-kun at school?
**[04:20] Saki**
How are things?
**[04:22] Saki**
We're in different classes,
so pretty much the same as ever.
**[04:26] Akiko**
No one at school knows that
you're brother and sister, right?
**[04:33] Saki**
No, I don't think so.
We haven't really been telling anyone.
**[04:39] Saki**
What's the matter? Didn't you want to talk
about my parent-teacher meeting?
**[04:47] Akiko**
The truth is that Taichi-san
is extremely busy right now.
**[04:52] Akiko**
I don't want to put even more pressure on him.
**[04:55] Akiko**
So I was thinking of going
to both of your meetings.
**[05:00] Akiko**
But since my bar is so small,
I can't really take multiple days off.
**[05:07] Akiko**
But if I do both meetings
back-to-back on the same day,
**[05:11] Akiko**
the other kids would find
out that you're siblings.
**[05:17] Akiko**
Well, that's not the only reason.
***SIGN*** Asamura Ayase
**[05:31] Yuta**
I'm back.
**[05:32] Akiko**
Welcome home!
**[05:33] Saki**
Welcome home, Big Brother.
**[05:35] Akiko**
What perfect timing.
**[05:37] Yuta**
Huh?
**[05:38] Akiko**
We were just talking about what to do
for your parent-teacher meeting.
**[05:43] Yuta**
Huh? Mine?
**[05:44] Akiko**
Yes.
**[05:45] Akiko**
Taichi-san is extremely busy right now,
so I'm planning to go to both of yours.
**[05:52] Yuta**
Huh?
**[05:52] Akiko**
I've thought about it,
**[05:54] Akiko**
and if you and Saki can schedule yours
for different days, we'll make it work.
**[06:01] Saki & Yuta**
Huh?
**[06:02] Akiko**
Well, you haven't told anyone at school
that you're brother and sister, right?
**[06:06] Akiko**
So that would be safer than me
going to both on the same day.
**[06:12] Yuta**
You mean you'd go all the way
out to our school twice?
**[06:15] Akiko**
Yes, that's right.
**[06:20] Yuta**
But my dad isn't the only busy one here.
**[06:24] Yuta**
You work nights at the bar.
**[06:26] Yuta**
Isn't it already hard enough for you just
to come to our school in the afternoon?
**[06:30] Akiko**
I'll be fine!
**[06:32] Yuta**
But still...
**[06:33] Akiko**
I've got to get going.
Let's go over the details later.
**[06:38] Yuta**
Oh, okay...
**[06:40] Akiko**
I'm off!
**[06:41] Yuta**
See you later...
**[06:45] Yuta**
Ayase-san?
**[06:46] Saki**
I have to get to work.
**[06:50] Yuta**
See you later.
**[06:54] Saki**
See you.
**[07:08] Akiko**
*Well, that's not the only reason.*
**[07:13] Akiko**
* I don't feel like Yuta-kun*
* accepts me as his mother yet,*
**[07:19] Akiko**
*and that makes me a little sad.*
**[07:32] Saki**
I'm back.
**[07:35] Yuta**
Welcome home, Ayase-san.
**[07:37] Yuta**
Good timing. Want to eat together?
**[07:43] Saki**
Sure.
**[07:54] Saki**
So, about the parent-teacher meeting...
**[07:54] Yuta**
So, about the parent-teacher meeting...
**[08:03] Yuta**
Why don't we eat while we talk?
**[08:05] Saki**
Yeah.
**[08:11] Saki**
Thanks for the meal. It was delicious.
**[08:14] Yuta**
Glad you liked it.
**[08:16] Saki**
You're getting better at cooking.
**[08:18] Yuta**
Thanks.
**[08:25] Yuta**
So, about those meetings...
**[08:28] Saki**
Yeah.
**[08:29] Yuta**
We don't want people to know
we're brother and sister,
**[08:33] Yuta**
but that's really just for us.
**[08:38] Saki**
I have been thinking it's kind of selfish.
**[08:42] Yuta**
I don't actually have a problem with
people knowing that you're my sister.
**[08:47] Yuta**
But I know that's not for just me to decide.
**[08:52] Saki**
I feel the same way.
**[08:54] Saki**
This isn't a decision I can make alone.
**[09:00] Saki**
But I've seen what happens
when my mom works too hard
**[09:04] Saki**
and the toll it starts to take on her health.
**[09:08] Yuta**
Yeah.
**[09:10] Yuta**
I don't want to make things any harder
for my dad or for Akiko-san.
**[09:18] Saki**
Then we have our decision.
**[09:22] Yuta**
Let's schedule our meetings for the same day.
**[09:25] Yuta**
That way, Akiko-san only
has to go to school once.
**[09:29] Saki**
Yeah.
**[09:34] Yuta**
Ayase-san?
**[09:41] Saki**
This isn't only because
it's hard on her, though.
**[09:45] Saki**
There are other reasons...
**[09:49] Saki**
that I want my mom to go
to both of our meetings.
**[09:58] Saki**
But I'll tell her what we decided.
**[10:01] Yuta**
Oh... Sure.
**[10:03] Saki**
Thanks for dinner. It was good.
**[10:06] Yuta**
I'll take care of that.
I'm sure you're tired from work.
**[10:17] Saki**
Then let's do it together.
**[10:26] Yuta**
* This is good.*
* This should make them both happy.*
**[10:30] Saki**
*This isn't fair. It just isn't, Asamura-kun.*
**[10:35] Yuta**
* I know that Dad and Akiko-san*
* really want us to get along.*
**[10:41] Saki**
* The fact that you're worried*
* about how hard my mom works*
**[10:45] Saki**
*makes me really happy.*
**[10:48] Yuta**
*That's why I have to control my feelings.*
**[10:52] Yuta**
*I have to put a lid on them and seal them away.*
**[10:56] Saki**
*I'm trying so hard to erase these feelings,*
**[10:59] Saki**
*but I'm so touched by such a tiny gesture...*
**[11:04] Yuta**
*We aren't strangers anymore.*
**[11:07] Saki**
*Asamura-kun is my stepbrother.*
**[11:10] Yuta**
*Ayase-san is my stepsister.*
**[11:16] Saki**
*We're family.*
**[11:16] Yuta**
*We're family.*
***SIGN*** Friday, September 4th
**[11:28] Taichi**
Are you sure about this?
**[11:30] Yuta**
Ayase-san and I talked and
made the decision together.
**[11:34] Yuta**
It feels unnatural to keep hiding
the fact that we're siblings.
**[11:39] Yuta**
Besides, aren't you super busy right now, Dad?
**[11:44] Taichi**
Well, yeah.
**[11:46] Taichi**
I'm sure Akiko-san will be
happy about this, though.
**[11:52] Taichi**
She said something to me...
**[11:55] Taichi**
"I want us to be a real family.
It shouldn't be too hard."
**[12:00] Taichi**
"Otherwise, what's the point of building
relations by marrying?" Her words.
**[12:17] Taichi**
If Akiko-san knew you accepted
her as part of your family,
**[12:22] Taichi**
it would make her very happy.
**[12:28] Yuta**
Yeah.
**[12:32] Saki**
Good morning, Dad. Big Brother.
**[12:35] Taichi**
Good morning, Saki-chan!
**[12:37] Yuta**
Good morning, Ayase-san.
**[12:40] Saki**
I'm sorry I didn't make breakfast.
**[12:42] Taichi**
Oh, that's okay! Why don't you eat with us?
**[12:46] Saki**
All right.
**[12:49] Saki**
Here, Big Brother.
**[12:59] Saki**
It made Mom really happy.
**[13:02] Taichi**
Told you!
**[13:10] Saki**
*Good morning, Dad.*
**[13:13] Taichi**
*Good morning, Saki-chan!*
**[13:16] Saki**
*It made Mom really happy.*
**[13:26] Yuta**
"Mom."
**[13:31] Maru**
You don't say...
**[13:34] Maru**
Well, that explains a lot.
**[13:36] Yuta**
Yeah.
**[13:38] Maru**
I was surprised when you were asking
about Ayase, but now it all makes sense.
**[13:43] Maru**
But this means I said some nasty stuff
about your sister. Sorry, man.
**[13:48] Yuta**
You had no way of knowing. It's fine.
**[13:52] Maru**
I was totally convinced
you'd fallen for Ayase-san.
**[13:57] Yuta**
Oh, come on.
**[13:58] Maru**
I know. Sorry. I shouldn't make
careless assumptions.
**[14:02] Maru**
But the way things are going,
it seems like you get on fine as siblings.
**[14:07] Yuta**
Well, yeah.
**[14:11] Maru**
Good, good.
**[14:13] Saki**
Isn't that kind of an uneven trade?
**[14:16] Maaya**
It's fine, it's fine!
**[14:18] girl**
Oh, that looks good!
**[14:19] Maaya**
Ah! And your salmon looks tasty, Yumicchi!
**[14:23] Yumi**
Only if you'll trade me for some
of that secret family recipe karaage.
**[14:27] Maaya**
You've got yourself a deal!
**[14:29] Shinjo**
Hey.
**[14:32] Shinjo**
You guys wanna hang out again later this month?
**[14:34] Daisuke**
Hey, great idea!
Where should we go? And when?
**[14:38] Shinjo**
How about bowling?
Let's find a day everyone's free.
**[14:41] Tomoya**
Sounds good.
**[14:42] Yumi**
Oh, bowling? It's been a while.
**[14:45] Maaya**
What do you think?
**[14:47] Saki**
Um...
**[14:49] Maaya**
Do you have to work? Or study?
**[14:51] Saki**
I don't think I have any shifts scheduled.
**[14:55] Saki**
But I always study on days I don't work.
**[14:57] somebody**
Oh, no wonder.
**[14:58] Maaya**
Ah. So what should we do, then?
**[15:01] Shinjo**
Then how about a study session?
**[15:06] Daisuke**
Uh, like we all meet up somewhere?
**[15:08] Shinjo**
Yeah.
**[15:09] Tomoya**
How about the library?
**[15:12] Maaya**
In that case, how about at my meowse?
**[15:16] Maaya**
My parents always take my
brothers out, so no problemo!
**[15:21] Maaya**
Come meow'n over!
**[15:23] Daisuke**
Awesome!
**[15:25] Yumi**
Than it's settled!
**[15:26] Shinjo**
Thanks, Narasaka-san.
**[15:27] Yumi**
Yeah, thanks!
**[15:28] Maaya**
All good!
**[15:30] Maaya**
That work for you, Saki?
**[15:33] Saki**
Sure.
**[15:39] Maaya**
Yeah, totally! When I took my brothers
to the pool, it was a disaster!
**[15:44] Maaya**
They were out of control!
**[15:46] Maaya**
Once they start playing,
they don't pay attention to anything else!
**[15:49] Yumi**
That's a big sister for you.
**[15:50] Tomoya**
So are we your little brothers now, too?
**[15:52] Shinjo**
I mean, we did kinda go nuts.
**[15:54] Daisuke**
Yeah, for sure. Sometimes you
just want to show off, right?
**[15:58] Yumi**
No way. That's why you guys are still children.
**[16:01] Daisuke**
Dang!
**[16:02] Yumi**
That's why I'd rather date an older guy.
**[16:04] Tomoya**
Dang!
**[16:06] Maaya**
Okay, you're little brothers one,
two, and three! There ya go!
**[16:10] Tomoya**
Number three!
**[16:13] Maaya**
And you'll be my straitlaced little sis, Saki.
**[16:15] girl**
Come on, hurry up!
**[16:16] Maaya**
Your big sister just might spoil you!
**[16:20] Saki**
I don't want a sister like that.
**[16:21] Maaya**
Wow, you really meant that!
**[16:23] Saki**
Sorry, that was my honest reaction.
**[16:25] Maaya**
I feel so attacked!

We're brother and sister.
There's no way things are like that.

Like what, exactly?
**[17:25] Yuta**
Like me being lonely because I don't
get to work with my little sister.
**[17:29] Yuta**
Not a chance.
**[17:30] Shiori**
I mean, she's only your *step*sister, right?
**[17:34] Yuta**
Either way, she's still my sister.
**[17:36] Shiori**
What a conventional response.
How uninteresting.
**[17:39] Yuta**
This isn't a matter of how interesting it is.
**[17:42] Shiori**
Hmph. Then perhaps I'll cheer my gloomy
junior up with an exciting news flash.

**[01:32] Taichi**
Aren't your parent-teacher meetings today?
**[01:34] Yuta**
Yeah.
**[01:36] Saki**
Did you want to eat?
**[01:37] Akiko**
Yes, please. I wanted more time to sleep,
so I didn't eat on my way home.
**[01:42] Taichi**
If you go to bed now,
will you be up in time?
**[01:44] Akiko**
Well, I think so. Let's see...
Let me go over things one more time.
**[01:50] Akiko**
Yuta-kun, yours is at 4:20, right?
**[01:53] Yuta**
Yes.
**[01:54] Akiko**
And Saki... yours is 4:40?
Did I get that right?
**[01:58] Saki**
That's right.
**[02:00] Taichi**
You really won't get much sleep, then.
**[02:02] Akiko**
I'll be fine as long as I'm up by 2:00.
**[02:05] Akiko**
The only problem is that no one
will be home around that time.
**[02:11] Taichi**
If you want, I can give you a call.
**[02:13] Akiko**
Oh, thank you, Taichi-san!
**[02:16] Saki**
Mom, Dad has work, too. Don't impose on him.
**[02:21] Taichi**
It's fine! It's no big deal.
**[02:24] Akiko**
Then I'm counting on you
for a very harsh wake-up call!
**[02:28] Taichi**
Sure.
**[02:35] Maaya**
Hey, what are you up to?
**[02:38] Yuta**
Nothing. Just killing time.
My meeting is today.
**[02:42] Maaya**
Ah, you too, huh? What time?
**[02:45] Yuta**
4:20.
**[02:47] Maaya**
Oh, ours are close. Mine's at 4:00.
**[02:50] Maaya**
But if it's that late,
you could've gone home first, right?
**[02:55] Maaya**
I know Saki did.

Oh, er, sorry. What?

I was just saying... you're into Saki, aren't you?
**[03:29] Yuta**
No, I'm not.
**[03:31] Maaya**
Is that the truth?
**[03:33] Yuta**
You know that Ayase-san and I are siblings.
**[03:38] Maaya**
You still call her "Ayase-san" even now.
**[03:43] Maaya**
But you're only stepsiblings, right?
**[03:46] Maaya**
And that practically just happened,
so aren't you basically like strangers?
**[03:51] Yuta**
I'm telling you it's not like that.
**[03:54] Maaya**
It's not, huh?
**[04:02] Maaya**
Then is it okay if I root for someone else?
**[04:06] Yuta**
Um...
**[04:08] Maaya**
If I know another guy likes Saki,
**[04:11] Maaya**
is it okay if I try to set them up?
That's what I'm asking.
**[04:17] Yuta**
That's not really something you
should be asking my permission for.
**[04:22] Maaya**
It's not?
**[04:24] Yuta**
No.
**[04:29] Akiko**
So you two never ran into
each other at school before?
**[04:33] Yuta**
We probably did. I just don't remember it.
**[04:39] Akiko**
What a gentleman.
You don't ever stare at the pretty girls?
**[04:44] Yuta**
That wouldn't go over well these days.
**[04:47] Akiko**
Well, as long as you don't get any
funny ideas, I don't think they'd mind.
**[04:50] Yuta**
Can you really tell if someone's
got funny ideas?
**[04:53] Akiko**
Of course!
**[04:55] Yuta**
You sound so certain.
**[04:57] Akiko**
It's fine. If there's a misunderstanding,
you just have to apologize.
**[05:02] Yuta**
You've got thick skin.
**[05:05] Yuta**
This is it.
**[05:06] Akiko**
Thank you.
**[05:09] Akiko**
Yuta-kun,
**[05:11] Akiko**
I'll do my best, okay?
**[05:18] Yuta**
I appreciate it.
**[05:25] Suzuki-sensei**
So, in summary,
if he keeps working this hard,
**[05:28] Suzuki-sensei**
he shouldn't have any trouble getting
into a famous university in Tokyo.
**[05:32] Akiko**
Is that right?
**[05:35] Suzuki-sensei**
I'm sure it's because you did
an excellent job bringing him up.
**[05:42] Akiko**
Uh...
**[05:43] Yuta**
Yes. I'm very grateful to my mother.
**[05:48] Suzuki-sensei**
Mm-hmm.
**[05:51] Suzuki-sensei**
Next, you just need to decide
where you'd like to apply.
**[05:54] Suzuki-sensei**
You'll get my stamp of approval
wherever you want to go.
**[05:58] Yuta**
Thank you very much.
**[06:02] Yuta**
Ayase-san's classroom is this way.
**[06:04] Akiko**
I'd better hurry. Also, thank you
for what you said, Yuta-kun!
**[06:09] Akiko**
I'm so happy you see me as your mom!
**[06:12] Yuta**
Uh, please don't pull on my arm.
**[06:14] Akiko**
I'm getting all teary-eyed!
**[06:17] Yuta**
Oh, gosh...
**[06:19] Akiko**
Yuta-kun, what do you want for dinner?
**[06:21] Yuta**
Uh, well...
**[06:23] Yuta**
F-First, would you mind letting me go?
**[06:29] Sato-sensei**
If I'm perfectly honest with you,
**[06:31] Sato-sensei**
I was somewhat worried about
Saki-san during the first term.
**[06:37] Sato-sensei**
There were some unpleasant rumors
circulating about her behavior.
**[06:41] Sato-sensei**
However, I see things differently now.
**[06:45] Sato-sensei**
I could tell by observing Saki-san that
she isn't anything like the rumors say.
**[06:52] Sato-sensei**
I know there are other teachers who say
this or that about her appearance,
**[06:56] Sato-sensei**
but I understand wanting
to dress up and look pretty.
**[07:01] Sato-sensei**
I'll just say one thing.
**[07:03] Sato-sensei**
Try to keep it within appropriate
bounds for a high school student.
**[07:08] Saki**
I will.
**[07:10] Sato-sensei**
Now, let's talk about your future plans.
**[07:14] Sato-sensei**
Your problematic language arts grade
started to improve in the second term.
**[07:19] Sato-sensei**
Have you thought about colleges
you'd like to apply to?
**[07:23] Saki**
I'd like to find one with low tuition costs
**[07:26] Saki**
that will put me in a good
position for the job market.
**[07:34] Sato-sensei**
How about Tsukinomiya Women's College?
**[07:37] Saki**
Tsukinomiya?
**[07:40] Saki**
I've heard it's very prestigious.
I'm not sure I'm...
**[07:44] Sato-sensei**
With your current performance,
I think you have a shot if you work hard.
**[07:49] Sato-sensei**
It would definitely give you
a boost on the job market.
**[07:53] Sato-sensei**
It's a public school, so tuition is low.
It might be exactly what you're looking for.
**[08:00] Saki**
I'd never even considered it.
**[08:03] Sato-sensei**
Why not go and see it?
**[08:06] Sato-sensei**
Look. They even have an open
campus event this weekend.
**[08:14] Akiko**
Appropriate bounds, huh?
**[08:16] Akiko**
I think if you try to stay too appropriate,
you drive yourself nuts.
**[08:22] Saki**
Huh? What?
**[08:24] Akiko**
Nothing.
**[08:27] Akiko**
So, what'll it be?
**[08:29] Saki**
I'll go tomorrow.
**[08:32] Saki**
I'll check out the open campus by myself.
**[08:38] Akiko**
I see.
**[08:39] Akiko**
Tsukinomiya, huh? I'm so thrilled that
both of my children are such good students!
**[08:45] Akiko**
Yuta-kun was told that he could
get into any school he wanted.
**[08:49] Saki**
Oh.
**[08:50] Akiko**
And listen to this! Yuta-kun's
homeroom teacher actually said...

It was a last-minute decision.
**[09:18] Shiori**
You came for the sample lecture, right?
**[09:20] Saki**
Yeah, I did.
**[09:22] Shiori**
Good! There's still some time,
so let me show you all around.
**[09:27] Saki**
Huh? But...
**[09:29] Shiori**
Don't be shy, don't be shy!
**[09:31] Saki**
Uh...
**[09:33] Kudo**
What have we here, Yomiuri-kun? Is this
dazzling young lady a friend of yours?
**[09:40] Shiori**
Kudo-sensei?
**[09:42] Shiori**
Kudo-sensei is giving today's
sample lecture on ethics.
**[09:46] Shiori**
This is Ayase Saki.
She works at the bookstore with me.
**[09:52] Kudo**
Nice to meet you. I'm Kudo Eiha.
**[10:03] Kudo**
I can tell you're struggling
with something right now.
**[10:08] Kudo**
We've got some time, so would you
mind joining me in my office?
**[10:12] Kudo**
I may be able to give you
the answer you're looking for.
**[10:16] Shiori**
Always hitting on someone...
**[10:20] Kudo**
Get on up here.
**[10:42] Kudo**
To be honest, I've already heard
a bit about you from Yomiuri-kun.
**[10:48] Saki**
About me?
**[10:50] Kudo**
Yes. More precisely, about the two of you.
**[10:55] Kudo**
You know?
**[10:57] Kudo**
Let me think... What was it she called him?
**[11:01] Saki**
Do you mean Asamura-kun?
**[11:03] Kudo**
Ah, so his name's Asamura-kun.
**[11:07] Saki**
You had no idea, did you?
**[11:09] Kudo**
Correct. I didn't know his name yet.
**[11:13] Kudo**
Surprisingly, Yomiuri-kun is actually
pretty careful with personal info.
***SIGN*** Metaethics

**[11:20] Kudo**
I'll cut to the chase. You've fallen
for Asamura-kun, haven't you?
**[11:26] Kudo**
However, according to
conventional ethical standards,
**[11:31] Kudo**
he's someone you shouldn't have feelings for.
**[11:35] Saki**
What makes you say that?
**[11:39] Kudo**
Well, that's all the proof I needed.
**[11:45] Saki**
I don't think I like you very much.
**[11:51] Kudo**
I do like honest girls, though.
**[11:54] Kudo**
So? I asked you a question.
Do you like Asamura-kun?
**[12:00] Saki**
I think he's a good brother.
**[12:02] Kudo**
Not that kind of "like." I'm asking if
you have romantic feelings for him.
**[12:07] Saki**
He's my brother.
**[12:09] Kudo**
But you're not related.
**[12:11] Saki**
A stepbrother is still a brother.
**[12:15] Kudo**
Yet he's only been one for three short months.
**[12:24] Saki**
I'm not really sure myself.
**[12:29] Kaho**
Asamura-san.
**[12:32] Yuta**
Going to lunch, Fujinami-san?
**[12:34] Kaho**
Yes, and...
**[12:36] Kaho**
since you came to sit near me,
I thought maybe you had something to say.
**[12:42] Yuta**
Oh, yeah, but it isn't really
anything important.
**[12:47] Kaho**
It isn't? Are you going anywhere for lunch?
**[12:51] Yuta**
I was thinking the convenience store.
**[12:53] Kaho**
Me, too. We can eat in the lounge.

**[13:23] Kudo**
I think we have a misunderstanding.
**[13:26] Saki**
What do you mean?
**[13:28] Kudo**
What if those aren't romantic feelings at all?
**[13:32] Saki**
That can't be...
**[13:33] Kudo**
Hey, relax. Let's just think about this.
**[13:35] Kudo**
According to what Yomiuri-kun told me,
**[13:38] Kudo**
it sounds like your personal
style is to come off strong.
**[13:43] Saki**
Yeah...
**[13:45] Kudo**
But for you, the way you dress
is performative, isn't it?
**[13:49] Kudo**
You use fashion as a way to show yourself off.
**[13:57] Kudo**
Your appearance is something
you've constructed very carefully.
**[14:01] Kudo**
However, though you're still a high schooler
on the inside, the fact that you came
**[14:05] Kudo**
to see a top college makes me think
you're much more serious than that.
**[14:11] Saki**
It was recommended to me
at a parent-teacher meeting.
**[14:14] Kudo**
The persona you're showing off to the world
**[14:17] Kudo**
wouldn't come visit a school like this
just because a teacher told her to.
**[14:24] Saki**
I'm not trying to act like some easy girl,
and I don't want people to think I'm one.
**[14:32] Saki**
I just want to prove that I can use what
I have to look "cute" or "pretty" or whatever,
**[14:38] Saki**
and for people to see that.
**[14:44] Saki**
And I didn't come today
because I'm a serious student.
**[14:49] Saki**
I just thought it might help me
make the best life I can for myself.
**[14:57] Saki**
I'm trying to convince myself that it will.
**[15:06] Kudo**
That explains it.
**[15:08] Kudo**
Your seemingly contradictory
appearance and personality
**[15:12] Kudo**
are both things you've crafted intentionally.
**[15:19] Kudo**
But I'll also add this.
**[15:22] Kudo**
You're the kind of person who absolutely
doesn't want others seeing her weaknesses.
**[15:28] Kudo**
Listen, I can tell you're the type who's
always fighting. Always by yourself.
**[15:34] Kudo**
The stronger the fight,
the more you need love and approval.
**[15:39] Kudo**
So when shown the
tiniest gesture of support,
**[15:43] Kudo**
you immediately get attached.
**[15:47] Kaho**
I was actually going to turn you down.
**[15:50] Yuta**
Turn me down?
**[15:52] Kaho**
I was gonna say, "I come to
cram school to study, not for that."
**[15:57] Yuta**
So you thought I was hitting on you?
**[16:00] Kaho**
But it doesn't seem that way now.
**[16:02] Kaho**
As soon as we started eating,
the conversation hit a dead end.
**[16:10] Kaho**
Sorry. I don't go to school,
so people think I must be really easy.
**[16:16] Yuta**
You don't go to school?
**[16:18] Yuta**
Oh, sorry. You don't have to go into detail.
**[16:21] Kaho**
It's all right. To be clear,
I don't go to school during the day.
**[16:28] Yuta**
Oh, you go to night school?
**[16:31] Kaho**
If I say "night school," "female,"
and "hangs out in arcades at midnight,"
**[16:35] Kaho**
what kind of person would you imagine?
**[16:39] Yuta**
I'd just think she's a night school student
who goes to arcades late at night.
**[16:46] Kaho**
Would you really?
**[16:49] Yuta**
Yeah. Why?
**[16:51] Kaho**
You wouldn't hit on me because
you thought I was an easy lay?
**[16:57] Yuta**
Sorry. I don't know anyone else
who goes to night school,
**[17:01] Yuta**
so I don't have any preconceptions about that.
**[17:05] Kaho**
Huh.
**[17:06] Kaho**
I like that you're so unbiased.
Do you look at everything impartially?
**[17:12] Yuta**
Well, I think I make an effort to be.
**[17:22] Kudo**
I'd bet that you know very few people who
truly understand who you are deep down.
**[17:30] Kudo**
That's why, arbitrary as it was, you fell for
someone who suddenly appeared by your side.
**[17:35] Saki**
No, that's...
**[17:37] Kudo**
Not what happened?
Can you say that with confidence?
**[17:45] Kudo**
You should try engaging
with a wider variety of people.
**[17:48] Kudo**
You might find someone else
you're drawn to one day,
**[17:53] Kudo**
and that may help you resolve
these issues without all the stress.
**[17:58] Saki**
I should meet someone else?
**[18:00] Kudo**
I'm not telling you to go out and find a lover.
**[18:04] Kudo**
But a limited perspective is the
enemy of reason and intellect.
**[18:09] Saki**
I think I can agree.
**[18:11] Kudo**
Good.
**[18:14] Kudo**
However...
**[18:18] Kudo**
If you connect with another
person you're attracted to
**[18:22] Kudo**
and your feelings remain unchanged,
**[18:28] Kudo**
then those are your true feelings,
and you should always treasure them.
**[18:41] Saki**
All right.
**[18:43] Kudo**
There you go. It's also important
not to be so stubborn, Saki-chan.
**[18:49] Saki**

Then we should eat lunch again.

wanted at the convenience store?

So she goes to a top women's college...
**[20:22] Saki**
There was also a really weird professor there.
**[20:25] Yuta**
Weird?
**[20:26] Saki**
I'm not sure how else to describe her.
We kinda got into an argument.
**[20:32] Saki**
I was exhausted by the end of it.
**[20:34] Yuta**
But you had fun, right?
**[20:37] Saki**
Oh, yeah, I did.
**[20:40] Yuta**
Are you thinking of going to Tsukinomiya now?
**[20:44] Saki**
I think at college,
**[20:46] Saki**
it all begins when you start to realize
how you think about things.
**[20:51] Saki**
Like a place you go to work things out.
**[20:54] Saki**
I do think I want to give it a shot now.
**[20:57] Yuta**
Yeah? That's great.
**[21:02] Saki**
So what about you, Big Brother?
**[21:05] Saki**
Will you keep going to that study lounge?
**[21:09] Yuta**

I'm supposed to meet a friend from
cram school for lunch again tomorrow.
**[21:17] Saki**

**[02:14] Keisuke**
Huh? Oh, yeah.
**[02:23] Yuta**
Sorry. What were you just saying?
**[02:28] Kaho**
I wasn't saying anything at all.
**[02:32] Yuta**
You weren't?
**[02:34] Yuta**
Um, so...
**[02:35] Kaho**
You don't need to force a conversation.
**[02:39] Kaho**
This is exactly why I'm worried
about you, Asamura-kun.
**[02:51] Kaho**
The way you looked when
you showed up yesterday...
**[02:55] Kaho**
You had this expression like you
were running from something.
**[03:01] Kaho**
It's a look that I'm very familiar
with, so it bothered me.
**[03:08] Kaho**
You were actually studying,
so you weren't there to hit on me...
**[03:12] Kaho**
which means you were
probably looking for sanctuary.
**[03:21] Kaho**
Would you mind if I ordered some pudding?
**[03:24] Yuta**
Huh?
**[03:25] Kaho**
The pudding here is crazy good.
**[03:32] Yuta**
Do your problems have
something to do with love?
**[03:35] Yuta**
Why do you ask?
**[03:37] Kaho**
It all makes sense if you came
seeking refuge with another girl.
**[03:41] Kaho**
As if searching for a new love
to escape a painful experience.
**[03:49] Yuta**
The problem is... I fell for someone
that I never should've fallen for.
**[03:57] Yuta**
And if I got what I want now, it would
cause problems for everyone I know.
**[04:02] Yuta**
I know I need to forget the whole thing.
**[04:06] Yuta**
But I don't think I can.
**[04:13] Kaho**
That sounds serious.
**[04:19] Kaho**
Do you have time after cram school?
**[04:24] Kaho**
Let's hit the town tonight.
I want you to come out with me.
**[04:50] Saki**
Um...
**[04:51] Keisuke**
I really like you, Ayase.
**[04:57] Saki**
I'm flattered.
**[05:00] Saki**
I'm glad... that you told me...
**[05:06] Saki**
But I'm sorry.
**[05:11] Saki**
I don't think I'll ever be
able to see you that way.
**[05:21] Keisuke**
Are you going out with someone?
**[05:24] Saki**
No, I'm not.
**[05:26] Keisuke**
Do you have a crush on anyone?
**[05:29] Saki**
No, I... don't.
**[05:32] Keisuke**
But it still wouldn't work?
**[05:36] Saki**
It still wouldn't work.
**[05:43] Keisuke**
Sorry. I won't bother you about it again.
**[05:49] Keisuke**
See you later.
**[06:00] Kudo**
* If you connect with another*
* person you're attracted to*
**[06:04] Kudo**
*and your feelings remain unchanged,*
***SIGN*** Sorry, Ayase-san.
I have to go somewhere, so I'll be home late.
**[06:08] Kudo**
* then those are your true feelings,*
* and you should always treasure them.*
**[06:25] Kaho**
Don't all those people look lost?
**[06:28] Yuta**
Huh?
**[06:30] Kaho**
When I walk around the city, I feel like
everyone in the world is living a mistake.
**[06:37] Kaho**
But I think that's the only way
some people know how to live.
**[06:43] Kaho**
I was one of them. In middle school,
I was among all these useless people.
**[06:50] Yuta**
Why are you telling me this?
**[06:56] Kaho**
Because you remind me of
my old self, and it pisses me off.
**[07:03] Kaho**
You were raised without anyone...
**[07:06] Kaho**
I mean, without any women
you could count on, right?
**[07:12] Kaho**
You're able to face things objectively.
That's a real gift.
**[07:19] Kaho**
But if I had to guess how you developed that,
**[07:24] Kaho**
I'd say it's because you grew up
without a woman to depend on.
**[07:29] Yuta**
Was it the same for you, Fujinami-san?
**[07:36] Kaho**
Yes.
**[07:37] Kaho**
But I lost my faith in humanity as a whole.
**[07:44] Kaho**
I lost both of my parents in an accident
when I was in middle school.
**[07:49] Kaho**
I found out that both of their families
had opposed their marriage.
**[07:55] Kaho**
Everyone mocked them at the funeral,
saying they got what they asked for.
**[08:07] Kaho**
The emotion that came over me at
the time wasn't hatred or sadness...
**[08:20] Kaho**
but a sense of resignation. Of giving up.
**[08:31] Kaho**
Ah, what a shame.
**[08:35] Kaho**
Tonight's the harvest moon, you know.
**[08:41] Kaho**
You say you have no faith in women,
**[08:45] Kaho**
but I think that's a lie.
**[08:49] Kaho**
Until my auntie set me straight,
I was so sure of the way I felt, too.
**[08:56] Yuta**
Your auntie?
**[08:58] Kaho**
We're family now.
**[09:00] Kaho**
She was worried about me staying out
all night and had the heart to adopt me.
**[09:07] Kaho**
She told me something
the day I moved in with her.
**[09:12] Kaho**
"You should try a little harder to make
peace with your heart," she said.
**[09:19] Kaho**
To reconcile, or maybe more like compromise...
**[09:26] Kaho**
She said, "Don't ignore your feelings."
**[09:31] Kaho**
"You think you've given up," she said.
"But are you sure you have?"
**[09:38] Kaho**
"I think you really did have faith in people,
**[09:43] Kaho**
but you feel that faith was betrayed."
**[09:47] Kaho**
"It must have been so painful for you."
**[09:53] Young Kaho**
*Daddy...*
**[09:54] Kaho**
When I heard that...
**[09:56] Young Kaho**
*Mommy!*
**[09:57] Kaho**
I guess I, well...
**[10:00] Kaho**
I think I spent the whole night crying.
**[10:17] Kaho**
Asamura-kun...
**[10:21] Kaho**
Do you think you might be trying to
bottle up and suffocate your feelings, too?
**[10:30] Yuta**
The feelings I have...
**[10:32] Yuta**
I can't let out.
**[10:36] Kaho**
Well, that would be fine
**[10:38] Kaho**
if suppressing them would make
them disappear one day.
**[10:43] Kaho**
But being objective and expecting nothing
from people are two different things.
**[10:50] Kaho**
I mean, we're all human.
**[10:55] Kaho**
We can't help having expectations.
**[11:08] Kaho**
Deceive your heart all you want, but if
you don't resolve this, it will scorn you.
**[11:13] Kaho**
And before you know it,
you'll be scarred forever.
**[11:17] Yuta**
But I can't be that selfish...
**[11:20] Kaho**
Yes, you can. Feelings are selfish things.
***SIGN*** Monday, September 28th
**[11:52] Yuta**
You know, I think I saw you
yesterday, Ayase-san.
**[11:56] Saki**
Huh?
**[11:57] Yuta**
Near my cram school.
Were you shopping at the store there?
**[12:04] Saki**
Yeah.
**[12:06] Yuta**
I was at the restaurant across the street.
**[12:09] Yuta**
I think... you were with a guy who
looked like a classmate or something.
**[12:15] Saki**
That was Shinjo-kun.
**[12:18] Yuta**
Oh. I couldn't tell.
**[12:22] Saki**
Now can I ask you something?
**[12:25] Yuta**
Of course.
**[12:27] Saki**
You were out late last night.
**[12:30] Saki**
Where were you, Big Brother?
**[12:33] Yuta**
I was walking around Shibuya.
**[12:36] Saki**
Just walking? Uh... with Yomiuri-san?
**[12:40] Yuta**
No, someone else.
**[12:42] Yuta**
Remember when I said I was going
to lunch with someone?
**[12:45] Yuta**
That was—
**[12:46] Saki**
Wait.
**[12:48] Saki**
Are we talking about a girl here?
**[12:53] Yuta**
Um, yeah.
**[12:56] Saki**
Oh, okay. And?
**[13:00] Yuta**
Ah, right.
**[13:03] Yuta**
It gave me a chance to think about things.
**[13:12] Yuta**
So I want to work something out.
**[13:16] Saki**
Work what out?
**[13:24] Yuta**
Listen, Ayase-san...
**[13:28] Yuta**
I think I have very strong feelings for you.
**[13:36] Saki**
Liar.
**[13:37] Yuta**
I'm not lying.
**[13:39] Saki**
Are you joking?
**[13:41] Yuta**
Do you think I'd make such a cruel joke?
**[13:44] Saki**
No, you're right. You're right.
**[13:47] Saki**
You'd never do something
so heartless, Asamura-kun.
**[13:51] Yuta**
Did you just call me Asamura?
**[13:54] Saki**
Huh? Oh...
**[14:00] Saki**
You said you have strong feelings?
**[14:04] Yuta**
Like, I really like you.
**[14:10] Saki**
You mean as my brother?
**[14:14] Saki**
Or as in... you want to touch
me and hold me and stuff?
**[14:19] Saki**
Like, you get jealous when you see me
with other boys? Those kinds of feelings?
**[14:26] Yuta**
Yeah.
**[14:27] Saki**
But siblings can feel that way, too, can't they?
**[14:31] Yuta**
Huh?
**[14:32] Saki**
I mean, of course they can.
**[14:34] Yuta**
Hold on...
**[14:35] Saki**
I heard that when someone's starved
for attention from the opposite sex
**[14:38] Saki**
and suddenly gets a lot of time with them,
**[14:41] Saki**
it's easy to develop feelings they could
confuse with romantic attraction.
**[14:45] Yuta**
That's just one possibility, right?
**[14:48] Saki**
We can't rule it out.
**[14:50] Yuta**
Yeah, well...
**[14:52] Saki**
Maybe just you have stronger than
normal feelings for me as your sister.
**[14:55] Saki**
Could that explain it?
**[15:06] Yuta**
Ayase-san...
**[15:08] Saki**
Sorry.
**[16:37] Saki**
I'm okay with it.
**[17:02] Saki**
Does this help?
**[17:10] Saki**
Thank you for having the courage to tell me.
**[17:15] Saki**
If you'd kept that bottled up,
**[17:18] Saki**
it would've been so hard.
**[17:22] Saki**
It really would have weighed on you.
**[17:31] Saki**
But don't worry.
**[17:35] Saki**
I think I can help you carry that weight, too.
**[17:42] Saki**
Whether you have feelings for me
as my brother or something more,
**[17:52] Saki**
I'm okay with it.
**[17:56] Saki**
Whichever it is, I'm happy.
**[18:04] Yuta**
Okay.
**[18:08] Saki**
I'm not sure myself
**[18:11] Saki**
if the feelings I have for you are because
you're my brother or... something else.
**[18:17] Saki**
But if I can give you some comfort by
hugging you, I truly want to do that.
**[18:26] Saki**
And if you could hug me when I need it,
it'd truly make me happy.
**[18:38] Saki**
So let's compromise.
**[18:39] Saki**
I don't want to cause any
trouble for our parents.
**[18:43] Yuta**
Yeah. I honestly want them both to be happy.
**[18:52] Saki**
If I know you're with other girls,
I might get jealous and anxious.
**[19:01] Saki**
What do you think?
**[19:03] Yuta**
Same goes for me.
**[19:05] Yuta**
I wasn't... thrilled about the study session.
**[19:11] Saki**
All right.
**[19:14] Saki**
But you know, that kind of
jealousy isn't only between lovers.
**[19:19] Saki**
I think it can happen between siblings, too.
**[19:23] Saki**
So, Asamura-kun,
**[19:27] Saki**
in front of anyone else,
we need to stay just brother and sister...
**[19:35] Saki**
even if we're not really brother and sister.
**[19:42] Saki**
Together, we can carry this weight...
**[19:50] Saki**
as two special...
**[19:52] Saki**
especially close...
**[20:02] Saki**
I'm sorry. I can't.
**[20:15] Yuta**
I'm counting on you.
**[20:18] Yuta**
From now on, Ayase-san, I'll count on you.
**[20:22] Yuta**
So I want you to know you can count on me, too.
**[20:28] Yuta**
Let's... figure this out together.
**[20:36] Yuta**
Let's protect what we have
**[20:40] Yuta**
and figure this out...
**[20:43] Yuta**
together.
**[20:50] Saki**
Thank you.
**[20:56] Saki**
*Yesterday, we were still only strangers.*
**[21:02] Saki**
*And this is the story of how we became...*
**[21:07] Saki**
*a true family.*
