**[00:02] Yu**
There is a family that's seemingly
connected and yet separated—
**[00:06] Yu**
and also seemingly separated
but still connected.
**[00:10] Yu**
This is their story.
***SIGN*** Dealing with Mikadono Sisters Is a Breeze
***SIGN*** Saika Academy
**[00:16] Yu**
Saika Academy.
**[00:18] Yu**
A school where gifted students
cultivate their talents.
**[00:23] Yu**
For those aspiring to the performing arts,
athletics, or advanced classes,
**[00:27] Yu**
the education available at this school
is considered nothing short of the best.
***SIGN*** Champion
**[00:32] Yu**
As our story begins, I have just transferred
to this elite school. And yet...
**[00:41] Vice captain**
You're weak! This is pathetic, Yu Ayase!
**[00:44] Vice captain**
And you call yourself Subaru Ayase's son?
**[00:48] Student A**
Can he really be related
to such a gifted actress?
**[00:50] Student B**
He bombed the advanced class test, too.
**[00:52] Student B**
I wonder how he'll bounce back.
**[00:55] Student A**
Prodigies do often keep
their real talents under wraps.
**[00:58] Student B**
I suppose.
**[01:00] Yu**
*Yes. My mom's* the *Subaru Ayase.*
**[01:05] Yu**
*An A-list actress known the world over.*
**[01:09] Yu**
* A born thespian with looks to match*
* who performed her own dangerous stunts.*
**[01:14] Yu**
* She was such a genius that*
* she graduated top of her class*
**[01:17] Yu**
*at a famous university abroad.*
**[01:19] Vice Captain**
What gives, Yu Ayase?
**[01:21] Vice Captain**
Show me you mean business!
**[01:23] Vice Captain**
The Three Royals,
the top students at this school,
**[01:26] Vice Captain**
want to know what kind of talent you have!
**[01:29] Yu**
And I told you I've never done
any combat sport in my life!
**[01:33] Vice Captain**
Stop griping and engage me!
**[01:36] Yu**
This again?
**[01:38] Yu**
I'm not my mom!
**[01:42] Yu**
I'm not!
**[01:43] Yu**
Tap.

**[01:53] Vice Capt**
Are you messing around?!
**[01:56] Students**
...a total failure?!
**[02:00] Student**
A failure?
**[02:00] Student**
Subaru Ayase's son?
**[02:02] Student**
For real?
**[02:03] Student**
This is insane!
**[02:05] Yu**
* People think the son of a prodigy*
* must also be a prodigy.*
**[02:08] Yu**
* They hold unrealistic expectations for me,*
* only to disappoint themselves.*
**[02:11] Yu**
* It happens to me all the time,*
* always following the same script.*
**[02:15] Yu**
* At 17 years of age,*
* I've long since gotten used to it.*
**[02:19] Vice Captain**
Jeez...
**[02:20] Yu**
Have you ever heard this saying?
**[02:24] Yu**
"The more mediocre you are,
the more you obsess over talent."
**[02:29] Vice Captain**
Th-The gaze of a top actress...
He has the looks, if nothing else!
**[02:36] Vice Captain**
Don't say that!
**[02:37] Vice Captain**
You're in no position to be
lecturing me! Literally!
**[02:39] Vice Captain**
And if anything, you're the
most mediocre one here!
**[02:43] Yu**
I know that.
**[02:45] Yu**
So I know what I'm saying.
**[02:47] Yu**
I've seen real talent, up close and personal.
**[02:51] Yu**
Anyway, thanks. I'll take my leave.
**[02:53] Vice Captain**
Just like that?!
**[02:55] Vice Captain**
H-He's that used to losing...
**[02:57] Teammate**
This is bad, Vice-Captain.
**[02:59] Teammate**
He can't be a failure at sports too.
**[03:01] Teammate**
The Three Royals have high hopes for him.
**[03:03] Vice Captain**
Crap!
**[03:04] Vice Captain**
Then I need to beat you into shape...
**[03:09] Vice Captain**
until you show talent!
**[03:19] Niko**
Don't harass amateurs.
It's an embarrassment to martial arts.
**[03:23] Teammates**
C-Captain!
**[03:25] Miwa**
That's the son of an actress for ya.
He knows how to seize the spotlight.
**[03:29] Kazuki**
Do we know how he did on the test?
**[03:37] Student**
Hey, that's...
**[03:41] Student**
That's Kazuki-sama
from the performing arts program!
**[03:43] Student**
Tickets to her shows instantly sell out!
**[03:45] Student**
She's the star of
her world-famous theater troupe!
**[03:49] Student**
That's Miwa-san of the advanced program!
**[03:51] Student**
Aced every subject in the entrance exam!
**[03:53] Student**
The youngest title holder in shogi,
and the sport's hottest prospect!
**[03:58] Student**
And that's Niko-san from the athletic program!
An undefeated martial arts champion!
**[04:03] Student**
She's an absolute bruiser!
**[04:07] Student**
It's the Royals!
The Three Royals are here!
**[04:11] Yu**
* The Three Royals?*
* The top students of each program?*
**[04:16] Yu**
* These three are the sovereigns*
* who basically rule the school!*
**[04:20] Kazuki**
Hi there, new kid.
**[04:25] Yu**
*And... they're all girls?*
**[04:28] Kazuki**
So how did he do on the test?
***SIGN*** home.01 Prodigy and Mediocrity
**[04:31] Vice Captain**
Well, Kazuki-sama, I'm afraid...
**[04:37] Kazuki**
A mediocre hack with zero talent?
**[04:40] Yu**
Yeah, um...
**[04:42] Niko**
Jeez, and I thought I'd get to
train him in the athletic program.
**[04:45] Miwa**
What a letdown.
**[04:49] Kazuki**
Unfortunately, there's no place
for you at this school.
**[04:52] Kazuki**
Rank incompetents are unwelcome here.

**[04:56] Yu**
It's fine, actually.
**[04:57] Yu**
I've already decided to join
the general ed program.
**[05:00] Kazuki**
General ed?
**[05:03] Kazuki**
You're going to... general ed?
**[05:07] Sisters**
Does this school have general ed?
**[05:08] Yu**
You don't even remember?!
**[05:11] Yu**
You said I'm unwelcome here. So goodbye.
**[05:14] Niko**
Hold up.
**[05:16] Yu**
What now?
**[05:17] Niko**
You still need to clean the dojo.
**[05:20] Yu**
*You're* the ones who made me
come here to take your program's test.
**[05:24] Yu**
Why must I do chores if I'm not a member?
**[05:27] Niko**
I didn't ask your opinion.
The losing side does the cleanup.
**[05:32] Niko**
You better get on your hands and knees
and clean like the loser you are.
**[05:36] Niko**
Let's go home.
**[05:37] Kazuki**
Yeah.
**[05:38] Miwa**
Whatta waste of time.
**[05:41] Student**
Subaru Ayase's son is just some mediocre guy?
**[05:44] Student**
What a shame.
**[05:46] Student**
So disappointing.
**[05:53] Niko**
All right, time for training!
**[05:55] Team**
Yes'm!
**[05:57] Vice Captain**
What the?
**[05:58] Vice Captain**
This place is super clean!
**[06:00] Team member**
Wow!
**[06:01] Team member**
Even the mats look new!
**[06:09] Yu**
*I'm disappointing, huh?*
**[06:11] Yu**
*Well, can't say I've ever disagreed.*
**[06:16] Yu**
* When I was little, I wanted people*
* to praise me like they did my mom.*

You're my destiny...

**[06:45] (Flashback) Subaru**
I'll dedicate everything to you...
until my last breath.
**[06:50] Yu**
* That was when I noticed that my mom*
* was a prodigy, while I was mediocre.*
**[07:02] Yu**
* As I went from one rude awakening to another,*
* I began to distance myself from my mom.*
**[07:08] Yu**
*Even though she was the only family I had.*
**[07:17] Yu**
*In all that time, I never realized.*
**[07:21] Yu**
* Back then, she would constantly rewatch*
* a series she had costarred in.*
***SIGN*** Homemade Bride
**[07:26] Yu**
* It was a show about a family,*
* and she played the mother.*
**[07:30] Yu**
*A pretty low-profile role for her.*
**[07:35] (Flashback) Yu**
I like that show.
**[07:38] (Flashback) Yu**
Oh! Sorry, I mean...
**[07:41] (Flashback) Subaru**
Me too.
**[07:42] (Flashback) Subaru**
I love this family show the most.
**[07:45] (Flashback) Yu**
You do?
**[07:47] (Flashback) Subaru**
What do you like best about it?
**[07:50] (Flashback) Yu**
Uh, well... It's nothing exciting, really.
**[07:54] (Flashback) Yu**
But... you know how each episode
ends with family dinner?
**[07:58] (Flashback) Yu**
They simply smile and have fun
chatting about random stuff.
**[08:02] (Flashback) Subaru**
I love those parts, too.
**[08:05] (Flashback) Yu**
Yeah...
**[08:07] Yu**
* That day, I had a real heart-to-heart*
* with my mom for the first time in years.*
**[08:12] Yu**
*It was only then that I realized...*
**[08:16] Yu**
* My mom had always wanted a family*
* like the one in the series, too.*

*I'll do it.*
**[08:48] Yu**

**[09:02] Yu**
Mr. Mikadono said I could just go in.
**[09:07] Yu**
This is a real mansion!

**[09:30] Niko**
Hey!
**[09:32] Yu**
*Wh-Who's that? She lives here?*
**[09:34] Yu**
*And she thinks I'm a burglar?*
**[09:36] Yu**
S-Sorry! I'm not a criminal!
**[09:39] Niko**
Huh? What're *you* doing here, new kid?
**[09:45] Yu**
N-Niko...san?
**[09:47] Yu**
Uh, good evening?
**[09:49] Niko**
I asked you what you're doing here!
**[09:51] Yu**
Uh, well...
**[09:52] Niko**
Don't move from that spot!
**[09:57] Niko**
Oww...
**[09:59] Yu**
Are you okay?
**[10:01] Niko**
Ouch...
**[10:05] Yu**
I see prodigies get on their hands
and knees sometimes too.
**[10:09] Niko**
You jerk!
**[10:11] Niko**
Wh-What're you doing?!
**[10:12] Yu**
Don't squirm. I'm just drying you off.
**[10:14] Niko**
What the heck?! Who do you think you are?!
**[10:17] Yu**
Niko-san!
**[10:19] Yu**
Preventing colds is a part of martial arts.
**[10:25] Niko**
D-Damn it. Just dry me good.
**[10:29] Niko**
Ow.
**[10:30] Yu**
Oh, sorry.
**[10:34] Niko**
Hands off!
**[10:36] Miwa**
Ugh, this sash is too tight.
I wanna take it off.
**[10:40] Kazuki**
Wearing a kimono is part of the job.
Get used to it already.
**[10:41] Miwa**
My bladder's about to burst!
**[10:46] Kazuki**
Say, you look familiar.
**[10:50] Miwa**
He's that new kid.
What're ya doing in our house?
**[10:54] Niko**
He broke into our home!
**[10:56] Yu**
No, I can explain!
**[10:58] Yu**
* Hold on, th-the Three Royals?*
* What are they doing here?*
**[11:06] Yu**
Hello?
**[11:07] Yu**
Ah, Mr. Mikadono!
**[11:10] Mr. Mikadono**
Did you find my place, Yu-kun?
**[11:13] Yu**
*Uh, yes.*
**[11:14] Yu**
*Thank you for taking me in.*
**[11:17] Mr. Mikadono**
Your late mother, Subaru-kun,
was my friend and benefactor.
**[11:21] Mr. Mikadono**
I'm taking care of you so that
her talents will live on.
**[11:25] Yu**
*Um... You're too kind.*
**[11:28] Mr. Mikadono**
By the way, have you met my daughters?
**[11:31] Yu**
*Your... daughters?*
**[11:33] Mr. Mikadono**
Oh, did I forget to mention them?
**[11:36] Mr. Mikadono**
I have three daughters.
**[11:38] Mr. Mikadono**
* The oldest daughter, Kazuki,*
* the middle daughter, Niko,*
**[11:41] Mr. Mikadono**
*and the youngest daughter, Miwa.*
**[11:44] Mr. Mikadono**
Now that you know, Yu-kun,
be sure to get along with them.
**[11:49] Yu**
Three daughters?
**[11:53] Yu**
My mom, the star actress,
left me a simple dying wish.
**[11:57] Yu**
For me, her son, to find a happy family.
**[12:06] Yu**
This is a story about how I,
the mediocre Yu Ayase,
**[12:09] Yu**
became family with the three
gifted Mikadono sisters.
**[12:21] Yu**
* A lone boy like me, recently bereaved*
* by the loss of his mother,*
**[12:24] Yu**
* gets to live alone with three*
* gorgeous and gifted sisters?*
**[12:30] Yu**
*It's a situation right out of a dream.*
**[12:33] Yu**
*My only hope...*
**[12:37] Yu**
*is that it really* is *a dream.*
**[12:41] Niko**
Well, if it was Dad's decision, we can't
exactly throw you out on your ass.
**[12:45] Kazuki**
I can't believe he'd take in
a failure like you.
**[12:48] Miwa**
I'm not taking care of a dumb mooch.
**[12:51] Yu**
*I'm not feeling very welcome here!*
**[12:55] Yu**
*No, be strong!*
**[12:57] Yu**
*Even if they are the Three Royals,*
**[12:59] Yu**
*we can still be a happy family together!*
**[13:05] Yu**
Hello again! I'm Yu Ayase.
**[13:07] Yu**
I'll be living here from now on.
I look forward to getting to know you!
**[13:14] Yu**
I-I'll go put away my luggage.
**[13:17] Yu**
Oops.
**[13:18] Yu**
I stepped on some—
**[13:22] Yu**
So, um...
**[13:24] Yu**
I'm only just noticing, but this house...
**[13:30] Yu**
is a total pigsty, isn't it?
**[13:36] Yu**
So...

**[13:42] Niko**
You were supposed to do the dishes!
**[13:45] Kazuki**
Don't blame me! I didn't have the time!
**[13:48] Yu**
You do have rehearsals with
your troupe, huh, Kazuki-san?
**[13:52] Kazuki**
He's right!
**[13:53] Kazuki**
I don't have a second to spare
on household chores!
**[13:56] Yu**
Let me pick up these strangely
damp broken dishes, at least.
**[14:00] Kazuki**
Gulp!
**[14:01] Niko**
Oh? So you *did* try to wash them.
**[14:03] Miwa**
She musta given up out of frustration midway.
**[14:09] Yu**
So who does the laundry?
**[14:10] Kazuki**
Miwa!
**[14:12] Miwa**
Y-You have so many clothes that I can
never remember how to wash them!
***SIGN*** Pawn
***SIGN*** King
**[14:16] Yu**
Surely it's easier than
remembering the rules of shogi.
***SIGN*** Gold General
***SIGN*** Promoted Pawn
**[14:18] Miwa**
Then *you* take care of the laundry from now on!
**[14:21] Yu**
I can do that. But...
**[14:23] Yu**
I don't want those notes
you wrote to go to waste.
***SIGN*** Shirts

Are you enjoying exposing our flaws,

Forty-two, actually.
**[14:43] Niko**
And my teammate mopped the floor with you!
**[14:46] Miwa**
You scored below average
on all the advanced class tests.
**[14:50] Kazuki**
I heard your display in the
performing arts test was beyond horrible.
**[14:55] Niko**
Hey! Are you listening?
**[14:56] Niko**
A mediocrity like you...
**[14:59] Niko**
Whoa!
**[15:00] Kazuki**
Th-The house!
**[15:02] Miwa**
Everywhere's sparkly clean!
**[15:04] Yu**
I went ahead and tidied up
while you all were talking.
**[15:08] Niko**
*Oh, yeah. He* was *the one who cleaned the dojo.*
**[15:12] Yu**
I can do this anytime you want.
**[15:16] Niko**
N-Now he's being sketchy!
**[15:19] Kazuki**
He has the looks, if nothing else.

**[15:42] Yu**
*I need to become a family with them—*
**[15:47] Yu**
Wh-What was that?
**[15:54] Yu**
*It's seven in the morning,*
**[15:56] Yu**
*and she's splitting tiles in her private dojo?*
**[15:59] Miwa**
Lessee...
**[16:03] Miwa**
That's a real underhanded move, ya cheap,
weaselly cluster of data parameters.
**[16:08] Miwa**
You wanna get deleted?
**[16:10] Yu**
*And this one's arguing with an AI.*
**[16:15] Yu**
*She's running a drug operation!*
**[16:18] Yu**
So, Kazuki-san... What are you guys doing?
**[16:21] Kazuki**
You're wondering?
**[16:23] Yu**
Well, I mean...
**[16:25] Kazuki**
If you must know, this is our morning routine.
**[16:28] Kazuki**
You wash your face and brush
your teeth, don't you?

It's the exact same thing.

Anyway, new kid, we're all heading out.
**[16:43] Kazuki**
Watch the house for us.
**[16:45] Yu**
Huh? But there's no school today.
**[16:47] Kazuki**
I have theater rehearsal, Niko has practice,
and Miwa has shogi matches.
**[16:52] Yu**
Oh, but can we at least eat breakfast together?
**[16:56] Kazuki**
Move it. I'll be late for rehearsal.
**[16:59] Yu**
S-Sorry.
**[17:04] Yu**
Then Miwa-san, would you like to...
***SIGN*** MUNCH MUNCH

You're eating snacks!
***SIGN*** GLUG GLUG

And chugging juice?
**[17:10] Yu**
Miwa-san, you shouldn't eat before breakfast...
**[17:26] Yu**
* That reminds me. This is just*
* how it was with my mom.*
**[17:31] Yu**
* When I cooked breakfast,*
* she'd leave without eating it.*
**[17:35] Yu**
* But then she'd make*
* a bunch of food just for herself.*
***SIGN*** Breakfast

* Will it ever work out with me*
* and those three sisters?*
**[17:57] Niko**
Where'd all this food come from?
**[18:00] Yu**
Oh, I made it from some ingredients
that were about to spoil.
**[18:08] Yu**
I made extra, if you'd like some.
**[18:10] Niko**
You mean it?
**[18:12] Niko**
N-Nah.
**[18:13] Yu**
If you put up a front,
then I'll just eat it all. Like this!
**[18:18] Yu{x3}**
Lick! Lick! Lick! Lick!
**[18:22] Niko**
I'm not eating any of that
horribly unbalanced meal of yours!
**[18:26] Yu**
"Unbalanced"?
**[18:27] Niko**
There's too many carbs and lipids!
***SIGN*** Carbs
***SIGN*** Lipids
**[18:30] Niko**
There's too little vitamin B1. We need
another 20 grams of meat or fish protein...
***SIGN*** Meat
***SIGN*** Fish
***SIGN*** Protein
**[18:35] Yu**
*What a headache!*
***SIGN*** A Headache A Headache A Headache A Headache A Headache
**[18:37] Yu**
Do you count nutrients every time you eat?
**[18:40] Niko**
Of course I do.
**[18:41] Niko**
You are what you eat,
and it's as important as training.
**[18:45] Niko**
I can't be the best athlete
if I don't have the best body.
**[18:50] Niko**
Ah, crap! I'll be late!
**[18:52] Miwa**
I'll be late too!
**[19:00] Yu**
It really is a headache.
**[19:02] Yu**
Who puts being the best ahead
of eating what you really want to?
**[19:07] Yu**
Oh, right...
**[19:09] Yu**
Mom would go on diets to play certain roles.
**[19:14] Yu**
*Kazuki-san does it to be the troupe's top star.*
**[19:17] Yu**
*Miwa-san craves sweets to fuel her brain.*
**[19:23] Yu**
* Prodigies can be so self-centered,*
* they're blind to all else.*
**[19:28] Yu**
*But that's because they're driven.*
**[19:31] Yu**
* I wonder when I became so scared*
* of my mom that I stopped talking to her*
**[19:36] Yu**
*because I didn't understand her.*
**[19:47] Miwa**
Kazu-nee, you're too slow
to put on your shoes!
**[19:49] Niko**
Lemme go first! I'll be late!
**[19:51] Kazuki**
Don't get in my way!
**[19:54] Yu**
Wait!
**[19:55] Niko**
Wh-What now?
**[19:59] Yu**
You forgot something!
**[20:06] Miwa**
We didn't forget a single thing!
**[20:08] Kazumi**
We have everything we need.
**[20:10] Niko**
Stop messing around!
**[20:14] Yu**
Have a nice day!
**[20:25] All**
That's it?
**[20:27] Miwa**
That's so stupid!
**[20:28] Kazuki**
You'll disturb the neighbors.
**[20:30] Niko**
Don't spook us like that, moron!
**[20:32] Yu**
That didn't reach them at all.
**[20:35] Yu**
But that's fine.
**[20:37] Yu**
* I just need to start doing what I can*
* to bring us together as a family.*
**[20:42] Niko**
That goof...
**[20:44] Niko**
Why'd he look so serious when saying that?
**[20:51] Niko**
Wh-Why do I look so stupid?!
**[20:58] Kazuki**
*He said, "Have a nice day."*
**[21:00] Miwa**
*He was just saying goodbye!*
**[21:03] All**
*Still...*
**[21:05] All**
*I kind of liked it.*
**[21:11] Yu**
Hello?
**[21:12] Mr. Mikadono**
*Morning, Yu-kun.*
**[21:13] Yu**
Good morning, Mr. Mikadono.
**[21:16] Mr. Mikadono**
*How goes your first morning there?*
**[21:19] Yu**
I've managed to settle in.
**[21:21] Mr. Mikadono**
*That's great to hear.*
**[21:22] Mr. Mikadono**
*The thing is, I'm very busy with work.*
**[21:25] Mr. Mikadono**
*So unfortunately, I can't come home too often.*
**[21:28] Yu**
Huh?
**[21:29] Yu**
So in other words, I'll be spending
a lot of time alone with those three?
**[21:33] Mr. Mikadono**
*On that note, I need to ask a favor.*
**[21:37] Yu**
A favor?
**[21:39] Mr. Mikadono**
* Yeah. It won't be long before my daughters*
* run into obstacles of their own.*
**[21:44] Mr. Mikadono**
*You could call it the fate of all prodigies.*
**[21:47] Mr. Mikadono**
* What I want from you is to be*
* my daughters' helping hand.*
**[21:53] Mr. Mikadono**
* If you help them overcome*
* their obstacles, my daughters...*
**[21:58] Mr. Mikadono**
*should open up to you.*
**[22:01] Yu**
* I'm supposed to help*
* those three gifted sisters?*
**[22:05] Yu**
*Me? The mediocre guy?*
