[00:47] Saki
    Good morning.
[00:49] Yuta
    Good morning. Did you sleep all right?
[00:51] Saki
    Yeah. Thanks for the fresh bathwater.
[00:55] Yuta
    Oh, sure.
[00:56] Saki
    The water was perfect. I appreciate it.
[01:00] Yuta
    Sure.
[01:01] Saki
    But you don't have to do it again tonight.
[01:03] Yuta
    Huh?
[01:04] Saki
    It's a waste of water.
[01:08] Saki
    Okay, I'm off to school.
[01:10] Yuta
    Oh... Okay.
[02:56] student
    Yo, did you see that horror movie?
[02:58] student
    Yeah, I did!
[02:59] student
    Really?
[02:59] student
    The one everybody's talking about?
[03:00] student
    Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[03:01] student
    Hey, I haven't seen it yet.
[03:03] student
    Oh, come on! You gotta go see it!
[03:03] student
    No way! Go see it already!

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

[15:13] Taichi
    Yuta, you won't believe this!
[15:15] Yuta
    What's wrong? You're gonna wake Akiko-san up.
[15:19] Taichi
    But S-Saki-chan is...
[15:23] Saki
    Oh, good morning.
[15:25] Yuta
    Why are you making breakfast?
[15:27] Saki
    Why? We made a deal yesterday.
[15:31] Yuta
    Yeah, but that was about dinner.
[15:34] Saki
    I figured I might as well make breakfast, too.

    It's my personal policy
    to give more than I take.

    I see.

    I'm off now!
[15:54] Saki
    You don't like it?
[15:56] Yuta
    Uh, no, it's not that.
[15:59] Saki
    You can be honest with me.
[16:00] Yuta
    No, really. I'm just used to eating
    fried eggs with soy sauce.
[16:07] Saki
    Oh, really?
[16:09] Saki
    We've always used salt and pepper. Sorry.
[16:13] Yuta
    It's fine! You had no way of knowing.
[16:16] Yuta
    It's my fault for not telling you.
[16:20] Saki
    From now on, I'll try to ask ahead of time.
[16:23] Yuta
    Okay. I'll try to keep you informed
    about stuff, too.
[16:27] Saki
    Okay.

    Huh? Oh.
[16:38] Yuta
    No, this is something else. How do I explain?
[16:41] Shiori
    Hmm?
[16:42] Yuta
    I want to live on my own
    after graduating high school,
[16:45] Yuta
    so I need to save up for that.
[16:47] Shiori
    Oh, no wonder.
[16:49] Yuta
    Now that I have a little sister at my age,
[16:52] Yuta
    living at home might get a little cramped.
    Especially since we're the same age.
[16:57] Shiori
    I can understand wanting to live on your own,
[17:00] Shiori
    but it isn't actually
    because of your sister, right?
[17:03] Yuta
    It isn't?
[17:06] Shiori
    Well, I guess it could be,
    but it just seems like a waste.
[17:09] Shiori
    Having a sister your age
    could be a great asset!
[17:28] Shiori
    If you can't get by on your own, I think
    it's perfectly fine to rely on someone else.
[17:38] Yuta
    Even if I become a burden on them?
[17:41] Shiori
    You know, some people actually
    prefer women who are a burden.
[17:46] Yuta
    Well, that's just personal preference.
[17:49] Shiori
    It definitely is.

    Just find someone to take care of you.

    Is that all there is to it?
[18:04] Shiori
    Even rich CEOs are more dependent on
    other people than you might imagine, son.
[18:10] Yuta
    Don't talk like you know. It's not a good look.

    You don't think a charming college girl like
    myself would have a sugar daddy or two?
[18:22] Shiori
    Just kidding!
[18:25] Yuta
    You dumbass.
[18:27] Shiori
    Well, anyway, why don't you rethink
    depending on your family a little more?

    The right way to depend on people?
[18:38] Yuta
    Sorry.
[18:39] Yuta
    I'm still looking for leads on jobs,
    but I thought this might be useful, too.
[18:46] Saki
    I didn't know you had any
    close female friends.
[18:50] Yuta
    That's what you got from this?

    I'm rooting for you.

    For what?

    She sounds like the lovely, friendly,
    very intelligent older sister type.
[18:59] Yuta
    Eh...
[19:04] Saki
    I think what she said is true.
[19:08] Yuta
    Yeah.
[19:09] Saki
    But I still want to become self-reliant.
[19:15] Yuta
    You don't feel like you can
    depend on me and my dad?
[19:20] Saki
    No, I know you're wonderful people.
    I think you're both very dependable.
[19:29] Saki
    But...
[19:31] Saki

[21:29] (Flashback) Yuta
    You can't do that.
[21:32] (Flashback) Yuta
    I mean it.
[21:34] (Flashback) Yuta
    You think I can just let it go when you
    do things that could get you killed?
[21:43] (Flashback) Saki
    Sorry.
[21:47] Maaya
    I wonder if it's gonna start soon.
[21:49] Yumi
    It looks fine, though.
[21:51] Maaya
    Sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff!
[21:52] Maaya
    See, this is what it smells
    like before it rains!
[21:55] Yumi
    That's kind of weird.
[21:57] Maaya
    Two hundred percent accurate!
[22:52] Yuta
    I'm home.
[22:54] Yuta
    Or whatever.
[23:14] Saki
    We face battles all the time.
    Even if you don't see it.
[23:19] Saki
    As long as I can prove
    them wrong, it's worth it.
