Days with My Stepsister
When his father remarries, Yuta Asamura winds up sharing a roof with his new stepsister, Saki Ayase, the hottest girl in his grade. Carrying the scars of their parents’ troubled divorces, they vow to maintain a respectful distance. But what starts as cautious camaraderie blossoms into something deeper from shared experiences. Is it admiration, familial love, or something more?

[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.

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.

Asamura / Ayase
[14:04] Yuta
Oh, wait.
[14:07] Yuta
Ayase-san, do you go to Suisei?
[14:09] Saki

[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

[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.

Today we went shopping for the
first time in a long while.

Well, let's just say I've heard
some unpleasant rumors.

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.

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.

One of the guys in the
baseball club asked her out.

Want to know what she told him?
"I'm just as bad as the rumors say."

"I have no intention of dating anyone."

[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.

Yeah, but that was about dinner.

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.

Okay.

Huh? Oh.
[16:38] Yuta
No, this is something else. How do I explain?

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.

It definitely is.

Well, anyway, why don't you rethink
depending on your family a little more?

[18:38] Yuta
Sorry.
[18:39] Yuta
I'm still looking for leads on jobs,
but I thought this might be useful, too.

That's what you got from this?

I think what she said is true.

Yeah.

But I still want to become self-reliant.

Also, I told Maaya that

A rolled omelet with broth.

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.

I can't get mine this fluffy, though.

Thank you for helping, Yuta-kun.

Oh, is it all right if I throw your

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.

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.

I could tell when we were introduced
that he wasn't a bad person.
[14:54] Saki
And also that he's considerate.

[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

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?

[17:22] Saki

[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...

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

[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.

What's happening to me?

[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.

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.

See you later.

[16:41] Shiori
The store is so crowded that
the AC isn't having any effect,

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.
[18:07] Yuta
Huh.
[18:09] Shiori
Here, my sweet junior.
[18:11] Yuta
Huh?
[18:12] Shiori
You want to hear it in high quality, right?

listen to music like this.
[20:09] Yuta

[20:11] Yuta

[20:15] Saki
Oh, the same one, right?
[20:17] Saki
The beautiful older girl
with encyclopedic knowledge?
[20:19] Yuta
Well... yeah.
[20:21] 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.

It's called A Rift in the Blue Night.

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

[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.

[17:47] Saki
Huh? Oh, yes, a book.
[17:50] Yuta

[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

[18:01] Shiori
Just leave it to me!

[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.

Wow!
[21:15] Saki
Your little sister was really cute!
[21:18] Yuta
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.

Haven't you?

I just asked her some questions about studying.

Well, anyway,

Narasaka-san...

Oh, you two are together today?

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!

Thanks.

Wanna do it here?

Oh, I'll get us something to drink.

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.

Hmm, yes, very nice.
[04:37] Maaya
You're giving off good husband vibes,

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.

[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.

It's working for me.

Was it that same girl, I wonder?

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

"hate" is the one that comes closest.
[04:23] Saki

[06:09] Saki
maybe it'd be worth it to
do things slow and steady.
[06:13] Saki
I don't know, though.
Maybe it would creep him out.
[06:18] Saki
I know we're stepsiblings, but interviewing
for a job where your brother works
[06:23] Saki
is kind of a weird thing to do.
SIGN Sunday, July 20th
[06:27] Saki
Today was my last chance
to study before my retest.
[06:31] Saki
I'm really grateful to Asamura-kun
and Maaya for helping me out.
[06:37] Saki
I want to go to bed early and wake up sharp
so I can put my brain to work tomorrow,
[06:42] Saki
so I'll keep this entry short.
[06:46] Saki
The sweet 'n' sour pork was really good.
[06:50] Saki
Thanks, you two.
[06:57] Saki
I passed my retest.
SIGN Tuesday, July 21st
[07:00] Saki
It's easy to say this now
that I have the results,
[07:04] Saki
but honestly, I was already sure by
yesterday or so that I was going to pass.
[07:09] Saki
It's all thanks to Asamura-kun.
And Maaya, too. I'm grateful.
[07:13] Saki
At any rate, now I should be able to
spend my summer vacation as I please.

[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.
[07:35] Saki
No taking it back now.
[07:37] Saki
I could have practiced
for the interview at home,
[07:41] Saki
but I figured it'd be really awkward
if Asamura-kun were around.
[07:46] Saki
If he saw me, I'd probably die a little.
[07:48] Saki
If he asked me why I picked
that bookstore in particular,
[07:52] Saki
how would I even answer?
[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

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.

[15:48] Yuta
The sign said that book was a

[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?

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?

I just happened to be in the area.
I go to a cram school nearby.
[06:34] Shiori

[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.

[09:44] Saki
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
Ayase-san?
[12:32] Saki
I'm going to go study.

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.

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

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.

I'm attracted to him.

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.

Well, everyone's standards are different.

[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.

[13:44] 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?

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.

I mean, I didn't really do anything.
[14:48] Yuta

[15:05] Yuta

[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.

but I think that part of you is really cool.

[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.

[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.

Oh, the place by the station?

Yeah.
[00:56] Yumi
Sounds fun! Let's go, let's go!
[00:58] Yumi
Guys, wanna go do karaoke?

You wanna go, too, Saki?

Let's do it!

Um, I'm sorry. I have some errands to run.

Yeah. Sorry. Bye.
[01:12] Yumi
See you later!
[01:13] Maaya
Adios!
[01:15] Daisuke
Shinjo! Too bad, man.
[01:19] Shinjo
Yeah, whatever.
[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.

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.

Good morning, Dad. Big Brother.

Good morning, Saki-chan!

Good morning, Dad.

Good morning, Saki-chan!
[13:16] Saki
It made Mom really happy.

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.

[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.
[02:57] Yuta
Huh?
SIGN I have to go home because I forgot something.
SIGN I'll go ahead
SIGN and wake Mom up,

SIGN Thank you!
SIGN Thank you! Appreciate it!
[03:19] Maaya
Hey, are you even listening?
[03:21] Yuta
Oh, er, sorry. What?
[03:24] Maaya
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...

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

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 Kudo Eiha
SIGN General Ethics
[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

[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.

[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?

I'm supposed to meet a friend from

[21:17] Saki
Oh, really?
[21:19] Saki
That's great, Big Brother.
[21:22] Yuta
Mm-hmm.
[21:26] Yuta
She's right. This should
actually be a good thing.
[21:30] Yuta
Ayase-san met someone who
made her want to try college,
[21:35] Yuta
and I found a friend
I can talk to at cram school.
[21:41] Yuta
We're both making new connections.
[21:46] Yuta
This is how things should be.
[21:50] Yuta
We each have our own separate plans,

[00:01] Saki
What if the difference between
being good or bad at a subject
[00:04] Saki
isn't a matter of knowing the right answers,
[00:07] Saki
but rather a matter of knowing
how to find the right answers?
[00:12] Saki
When you're bad at a subject, it's hard to
find helpful sample questions in textbooks
[00:17] Saki
or search for them online.
[00:19] Saki
So what should you do in that situation?
[00:23] Saki
A few months ago, I don't think I knew.
[00:27] Saki
But now I think I do.
[00:31] Saki
The answer is to rely on someone.
[00:33] Saki
Admit your shortcomings
and ask someone to teach you.
[00:37] Saki
Then learn their shortcomings and see if
you can teach them something in return.
[00:43] Saki
Give and take.
[00:46] Saki
I was familiar with the concept,
but I think I understand it better now.
[00:51] Saki
Leaning on other people is a skill.
[00:55] Saki
We can't read each other's minds,
so if you don't tell anyone what you want,
[01:02] Saki
they're left in the dark.
[01:04] Saki
It isn't fair to make them guess.
[01:12] Saki
If you want to ask for something,
you should say so.
[01:14] Saki
If we could learn to understand each other's
feelings and compromise more,
[01:18] Saki
everyone would be happier.
[01:20] Saki
That's what I believe now.

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.
