[00:02] Mr. Mikadono
    Yu-kun.
[00:03] Mr. Mikadono
    What I want from you is to be
    my daughters' helping hand.
[00:07] Yu
    You want me to help them?
[00:09] Mr. Mikadono
    That's right. For starters...
[00:12] Mr. Mikadono
    Kazuki's facing a tough audition.
[00:14] Mr. Mikadono
    Niko's aiming to be the repeat
    national karate champion.
[00:16] Mr. Mikadono
    And Miwa has an upcoming shogi title match.
[00:19] Mr. Mikadono
    If you overcome those obstacles with them,
[00:22] Mr. Mikadono
    it'll create opportunities
    for you and my daughters to bond.
[00:26] Yu
    Of course!
[00:27] Mr. Mikadono
    I'm counting on you, Yu-kun.
[00:36] Yu
    Wait, do they even need my help?
[00:41] Yu
    I'm average or worse in both
    athletics and academics.
[00:45] Yu
    I'm completely mediocre.
[00:46] Yu
    How am I supposed to help prodigies
    at the top of their game?
[00:52] Yu
    They even work hard during weekends.
[00:56] Yu
    But still... What if...
[01:03] Yu
    What if they do end up failing
    to overcome their challenges?
[01:07] (Flashback) Adult
    Aren't you supposed to be the son
    of the star actress Subaru Ayase?
[01:10] (Flashback) Adult
    He didn't inherit her talent?
[01:12] (Flashback) Adult
    I had high hopes...
[01:13] (Flashback) Voice
    What a disappointment.
[01:16] Yu
    That was hard enough for
    a mediocre guy like me.
[01:21] Yu
    I guess I'll just have to do what I can.
[01:25] Yu
    But first, we need to learn
    more about each other.
[01:28] Yu
    For that to happen...

[03:32] Yu
    Niko-san, would you like a taste?
[03:35] Niko
    A taste?
[03:40] Niko
    Are you trying to tame me with food?
[03:43] Niko
    Unfortunately for you,
[03:45] Niko
    I bought my own food, so I don't need yours.
[03:47] Niko
    Taste test that slop yourself!
SIGN    WHOOSH
[04:15] Niko
    H-He really means business!
[04:17] Yu
    Next, seal it in a vacuum pack
    and boil for 30 minutes.
[04:20] Yu
    Keep temperature at 65 degrees.
[04:21] Yu
    Make soup by soaking seaweed in water.
[04:24] Yu
    Afterwards, add skipjack tuna and simmer.
[04:26] Yu
    After one minute, strain with cloth.
[04:28] Yu
    Don't oversimmer, or it'll smell...
[04:29] Niko
    How many cookbooks does he need?!
[04:32] Niko
    That jerkoff!
[04:33] Niko
    He's doubling down
    because I rejected his food!
[04:37] Miwa
    Oh? Niko-chan?
[04:38] Yu
    Welcome home, Miwa-san!
[04:41] Yu
    Just you wait, you guys.
[04:43] Yu
    I'm making the ultimate dinner for us!
[04:46] Miwa
    What's his deal?
[04:48] Niko
    It's stupid. He's not getting
    the attention he craves.
[04:54] Young Niko
    Don't want it.
[04:55] (Flashback) Maid
    But why?
[04:57] (Flashback) Maid
    A top chef used the best
    ingredients to make this.
[05:00] (Flashback) Maid
    Any normal kid would be excited to eat it.
[05:03] (Flashback) Maid
    Why won't you three?
[05:08] Niko
    I alone control what goes into my body.

    These contain low-fat protein,

[05:17] Niko
    There's nothing more I need.
[05:32] Niko
    He's gone.
[05:35] Niko
    Just a peek. A peek can't hurt!
[05:38] Niko
    This is a balanced meal made for an athlete!
[05:43] Yu
    It contains 32.4 grams of protein!
[05:47] Yu
    Plus 72 milligrams of vitamin C!
[05:49] Yu
    And 250 milligrams of calcium!
[05:52] Yu
    Also, the miso soup is full of amino acids
    to help with digestion!
SIGN    RANT RANT RANT
[05:56] Yu
    Taking your physical activity
    into consideration,
[05:58] Yu
    you lack these nutrients
    for your normal training...
[06:01] Niko
    Okay! Okay! I get it!
[06:05] Niko
    Hey!
[06:06] Yu
    I took dietitian-recommended recipes
    and customized them for you.
[06:10] Yu
    The nutritional balance in this meal...
[06:14] Yu
    should be enough to satisfy even you.
[06:18] Niko
    You made this... just for me?
SIGN    Recipes
    For Athletes
[06:23] Niko
    That's not for you to decide.
[06:26] Yu
    At least try some of it.
[06:28] Niko
    All right, fine. One bite.
[06:34] Niko
    Not half bad.
[06:36] Niko
    Give my regards to the recipe creator.
[06:46] Niko
    What are you imagining, you creep?!
[06:55] Yu
    DHA, 660 milligrams.

[06:58] Yu
    I tried my hardest to make this meal.
[07:00] Miwa
    Okay! Okay!
[07:02] Miwa
    Fine, ya win! I'll sit down and eat.
[07:06] Niko
    DHA?
[07:08] Niko
    He made a meal just for Miwa, too?
[07:11] Miwa
    Go somewhere else!
[07:12] Miwa
    I can't eat with you staring!
[07:14] Yu
    No way.
[07:17] Niko
    Hmph. Really?
[07:21] Miwa
    H-Huh, it's been a while
    since I've seen ya like this.
[07:25] Niko
    Y-Yeah...
[07:26] Miwa
    Now that I'm looking at ya across
    the table, you look kinda chubby!
[07:30] Niko
    Shut up! Same goes for you!
[07:32] Miwa
    It all goes to my chest.
[07:33] Niko
    Yeah, right. You never even exercise!
[07:36] Miwa
    Don't need to!
[07:38] Miwa
    My brain burns all the calories I need!
[07:45] Kazuki
    What happened? You two are here early.
[07:48] Niko
    Hey.
[07:49] Kazuki
    Seriously... What's going on here?
[07:52] Yu
    Brown rice with green-and-yellow
    vegetable risotto...
[07:56] Yu
    Vitamin A and B2 stimulate the cells
    that form healthy skin!
[08:00] Yu
    This salmon marinade contains astaxanthin,
    an antioxidant that promotes good complexion!
[08:06] Yu
    This entire meal has been tailored
    to enhance your beauty!
[08:13] Kazuki
    Very clever.
[08:14] Kazuki
    You won them over with food.
[08:16] Niko
    Hey, he didn't do anything wrong.
[08:19] Kazuki
    This is certainly heartwarming.
[08:22] Kazuki
    Much like a normal family sitting for a meal.
[08:25] Niko
    Come again?
[08:25] Kazuki
    But it's absolutely not for me!
[08:28] Kazuki
    Not that table, and certainly not
    that food made by a nobody!
SIGN    Feeding Failed
SIGN    CHOMP
[08:44] Niko
    Give me that.
[08:45] Niko
    That egotistical prince
    doesn't deserve this anyway!
[08:49] Yu
    If you eat that, you'll go
    48.5 grams over your carb limit.
[08:53] Yu
    If you give in to your emotions
    and rage-eat, you will turn chubby.
[08:58] Miwa
    Does he want us to eat his food or not?
[09:03] Yu
    But you can rest easy.
[09:06] Yu
    I'll thoroughly keep track of every
    last thing that goes into your body.
[09:17] Niko
    The way you put it makes it sound dirty!
[09:23] Yu
    It's been three days since I was
    taken in by the Mikadonos.
SIGN    To Kazuki-san
    
    
     Have some breakfast.
SIGN    -Yu
[09:28] Yu
    Kazuki-san, good morning. I made breakfast.
[09:35] Yu
    Kazuki-san's still a tough nut to crack.
[09:38] Mr. Mikadono
    What I want from you is to be
    my daughters' helping hand.
[09:42] Yu
    At this rate, I won't even get to know her,
    let alone be able to help her.
[09:46] Yu
    In that case...
[09:48] Yu
    All right.
[09:49] Yu
    I'll have to make the first approach.
[09:55] Student
    Kazuki-sama!
[09:57] Student
    Kazuki-sama!
[09:58] Student
    You shine brighter than anyone else!
[10:00] Student
    I bought a ticket!
    I hope your performance goes well!
[10:03] Kazuki
    Of course. You won't be disappointed.
[10:06] Yu
    She's crazy popular.
    Well, she is the top performing arts student.
[10:11] Yu
    Let's do this!
[10:12] Yu
    Kazuki-san!
[10:13] Student
    Who's that?
[10:14] Student
    What is he?
[10:15] Student
    Ah, he's that actress's son.
[10:17] Student
    Oh, yeah. That no-talent wonder.
[10:19] Student
    What is he trying to do?
[10:21] Kazuki
    Don't come near me, you dilettante.
    You'll only cast a shadow over my radiance.
[10:26] Kazuki
    Well said, Kazuki-sama!
[10:28] Yu
    That's mean!
[10:30] Yu
    I stayed up all night hoping
    you'd give in to my advances!
[10:35] Yu
    There's something only I can give you,
    Kazuki-san! And I know you'll love it!
SIGN    N.B. He's talking about his cooking
[10:43] Kazuki
    Hey! You'll give people the wrong idea!
[10:47] Kazuki
    You'll pay once we get home!
[10:49] Students
    "Once we get home"?
[10:51] Student
    Kazuki-sama!
[10:53] Student
    Are you in a relationship with him?
[10:55] Kazuki
    N-No, hold on!
[10:56] Student
    You must answer us!
[10:57] Kazuki
    Hey! Get back here, new kid!
[11:00] Yu
    I guess I'll ask Niko-san for help.
[11:03] Yu
    She'll tell me how best
    to approach Kazuki-san.
[11:06] Vice Captain
    Captain, please check this training regimen.
[11:08] Teammate
    Captain Mikadono, please spar with me!
[11:12] Yu
    That's the karate team.
[11:13] Yu
    They must really look up to her.
[11:17] Yu
    All right.
[11:18] Yu
    Niko-san!
[11:19] Niko
    Ugh... The new kid?
[11:22] (Flashback) Yu
    I'll thoroughly keep track of every
    last thing that goes into your body.
[11:29] Niko
    Damn it! He's already acting like he's won!
[11:32] Vice Captain
    Hey, you!
[11:34] Vice Captain
    How dare you use her first name like that!
[11:36] Teammate
    Why's a failure like you
    all buddy-buddy with her?
[11:42] Yu
    A monster!
[11:45] Yu
    Must avoid, or I'm done for!
[11:47] Yu
    I'm down to my last card!
[11:50] Yu
    The youngest, Miwa-san!
[11:53] Student
    Hey, did you finish
    the assignment for fifth period?
[11:56] Student
    I didn't get it at all.
[11:58] Student
    These advanced classes are too hard.
[12:00] Student
    I know, right?
[12:01] Miwa
    Three-fourths square root seventeen.
[12:05] Miwa
    The first answer's three-fourths
    square root seventeen.
[12:09] Miwa
    It's easy.
[12:11] Student
    Uh, wow...
[12:14] Student
    So, should we head for the cafeteria?
[12:16] Student
    I'm in.
[12:21] Student
    So I guess Mikadono-san solved them all?
[12:23] Student
    They don't call her a Royal for nothing.
[12:25] Student
    She's in a whole different league to us.
[12:28] Student
    Tell me about it.
[12:29] Student
    For real.
[12:34] Yu
    Miwa-san.
[12:46] Yu
    Are you still available for lunch?
[12:48] Miwa
    Huh?
[12:50] Yu
    Let's go to the cafeteria.
[12:52] Miwa
    Get lost.
[12:53] Yu
    Is that a no?
[12:55] Miwa
    Move it.
[12:56] Yu
    Ah, Miwa-san...
[12:59] Miwa
    I didn't want him to see that.
[13:01] Yu
    Miwa-san!
[13:02] Yu
    Wait up!
[13:03] Miwa
    Ugh!
[13:04] Yu
    Wait!
[13:05] Miwa
    Stop following me!
[13:06] Yu
    Eat lunch with me!
[13:09] Miwa
    Stop doing this!
[13:11] Yu
    But why? Just eat with me!
[13:14] Miwa
    Not gonna happen!
[13:16] Miwa
    You tripped over nothing?
[13:19] Miwa
    Just give up!
[13:20] Yu
    I won't give up! Wait!
[13:22] Miwa
    Stoppit! Leave me alone!
[13:25] Yu
    We're running at the same pace.
[13:27] Yu
    Is Miwa-san actually...
[13:33] Yu
    Athletics isn't your strong point, huh?
[13:36] Miwa
    I'm still better than you, at least.
[13:40] Yu
    I see you're the quiet type in class.
[13:44] Miwa
    I can't meet them at their level.
[13:47] Miwa
    I can't follow the pointless
    conversations of high school girls.
[13:52] Miwa
    And I don't even want to.
[13:55] Miwa
    I'm one of the Royals.
    I'm too different from them.
[13:59] Yu
    I can sympathize.
[14:01] Miwa
    Huh? How could you possibly understand?
[14:05] Yu
    That's because I'm also a royal, Miwa-san.
[14:08] Miwa
    What?
[14:09] Yu
    I'm royally short, royally stupid,
    and royally weak.
[14:12] Miwa
    That kinda "royal"?
SIGN    A Royal
    Failure
[14:13] Yu
    On top of that, these looks I inherited
    from my mom are flat-out false advertising.
[14:20] Miwa
    Yeah, ya got it rough.
[14:22] Yu
    Sure, being unique can hurt sometimes,
    but it's also what makes us special.
[14:28] Yu
    Ah, I know it's presumptuous for me
    to act like I can sympathize with you,
[14:31] Yu
    but I'm not too close
    or distant from the issue,
[14:34] Yu
    so if I can put in the effort
    to understand it...
[14:37] Yu
    Actually, uh...
    What were we talking about again?
[14:41] Miwa
    Don't lecture me if you haven't even
    worked out what you're gonna say!
[14:44] Yu
    Sorry about that!
[14:50] Yu
    Miwa-san?
[14:54] Miwa
    Dummy.
[14:57] Miwa
    I see, so ya wanna win Kazu-nee over.
[15:00] Yu
    Yeah. And I'm desperate for some kind of lead.
[15:05] Miwa
    Ah, just remembered something.
[15:07] Yu
    Go on?
[15:08] Miwa
    When Kazu-nee was three,
[15:10] Miwa
    she secretly asked our mom
    to cook a meal only for her.
[15:16] Miwa
    She looked real happy about it, too.
[15:20] Miwa
    Maybe that's a clue.
[15:23] Yu
    When Kazuki-san was three?
[15:25] Yu
    How far back can Miwa-san remember?
[15:29] Yu
    But thanks to her,
    I got pointed in the right direction.
SIGN    Deluxe Butter
[15:33] Yu
    Kazuki-san must've wanted to eat
    the dishes her mom made just for her.
[15:39] Yu
    But what did her mom make for her?
[15:42] Yu
    Since this is Kazuki-san we're talking about,
    were there special ingredients?
[15:49] Yu
    Kazuki-san, take a look!
[15:51] Yu
    This time you'll really like
    what I'm giving you...
[15:53] Yu
    Kazuki-san?
[15:57] Yu
    Kazuki-san!
[16:02] Kazuki
    You're making too much fuss.
[16:04] Kazuki
    I was just feeling a little fatigued,
    nothing more.
[16:11] Miwa
    It burns!
[16:12] Niko
    Quit acting tough and wear this!
[16:14] Kazuki
    No! I can do that myself!
[16:16] Yu
    Kazuki-san, I made some porridge.
[16:18] Yu
    Please try it if you'd like.
[16:20] Yu
    It's filled with veggies and nutrients.
[16:22] Kazuki
    I've had it with you people!
[16:25] Kazuki
    You're all overreacting! Get out!
[16:29] Kazuki
    Darn it, why can't I stay healthy?
    I'm so pathetic.
[16:34] Niko
    Man, and she knows she gets sick easy.
[16:37] Miwa
    She's playing the lead role,
    so her rehearsals must be killer.

    I made carrot soup filled with
    immune-boosting vitamins!
[17:00] Kazuki
    Stop bothering me!
[17:01] Kazuki
    I don't need your help!
[17:04] Kazuki
    My supplements give me
    all the vitamins I need...
[17:06] Yu
    Don't strain yourself.
[17:17] Yu
    O-Ow...
[17:20] Kazuki
    If you're not strong enough
    to catch me, can you leave me be?
[17:23] Yu
    I'll get the supplements for you.
[17:26] Yu
    You'll miss too many rehearsals at this rate.
[17:32] Yu
    I know! I can be your acting partner
    until you get better.
[17:38] Yu
    I'm the son of the star actress Subaru Ayase.
[17:42] Yu
    I should be good enough.
[17:45] Kazuki
    But didn't you...?

[17:58] Yu
    Mm-hmm. Okay!
[18:00] Kazuki
    I see you're the prince.
[18:03] Yu
    I'll play the princess betrothed to you.
[18:05] Kazuki
    Uh, sure.

    Shall we begin?
[18:09] Kazuki
    Yes, please.

    Here goes...
SIGN    Too Wooden
[18:14] Yu
    My prince. Please wait for me.
[18:18] Yu
    No! That didn't count!
[18:20] Kazuki
    I thought you debuted at two!
[18:22] Yu
    Sorry! My mom pulled strings!
[18:24] Yu
    I failed every audition after that!
[18:26] Yu
    Next time, I'll...
[18:27] Kazuki
    I'm better off rehearsing alone! Leave!
[18:33] Kazuki
    So you're the type who just coasted
    on your parent's clout, huh?
[18:36] Kazuki
    You don't even know the meaning of effort.
[18:39] Kazuki
    That's why everybody calls you a failure.

    The show's success will depend on your skill.
[19:28] (Flashback) Teacher
    But I suppose we don't need
    to worry about you, Mikadono-san.
[19:35] Kazuki
    I'm always expected to shine.
    Failure is not an option.
[19:39] Kazuki
    I can't keep lying pathetically in bed.
[19:42] Kazuki
    I have to get better.
[19:45] Kazuki
    Don't leave!
[19:46] Kazuki
    You're the type of woman I desire.
[19:49] Kazuki
    This place ill suits one such as you.
[19:52] Kazuki
    Come. Come and face the storms with me.
[19:55] Yu
    So that's how it should sound.
[19:57] Yu
    Great! I'm making headway from yesterday!
[20:01] Kazuki
    Wait, so after spending the day at school
    and the afternoon doing chores,
[20:05] Kazuki
    he practices every night to rehearse with me?
SIGN    Wooden Wooden Wooden Wooden
[20:08] Kazuki
    And he still sucks?!
[20:10] Kazuki
    Well, there are people who
    don't improve even with effort.
[20:17] Yu
    My prince. Please wait for me.
[20:19] Yu
    I do wish to go with you.
[20:22] Kazuki
    Fine. I won't push him away.
[20:26] Kazuki
    He did put in the effort.
[20:29] Kazuki
    Give me your hand, princess.
[20:32] Yu
    Oh, thank you so much.
[20:37] Both
    Just now!
[20:38] Yu
    That was pretty good... wasn't it?
[20:40] Kazuki
    Yeah.
[20:41] Kazuki
    Not everyone would notice, but I could tell
    you added some emotion to that line.
[20:47] Yu
    After 14 years of failure... I finally did it.
[20:50] Yu
    I finally acted with emotion...
[20:54] Yu
    I did it, Mom!
[20:56] Kazuki
    You're making it too sad!
[20:59] Kazuki
    Besides, I thought you were
    helping me practice!
[21:01] Yu
    Yes, I was. But I was so happy.
[21:05] Kazuki
    What a goofball.
    Who gets emotional over one line?
[21:10] Kazuki
    Jeez, I envy that.
[21:13] Kazuki
    I hope I can get back to acting soon.
[21:17] Kazuki
    So, new kid.
[21:18] Yu
    Uh, yes?
[21:20] Kazuki
    You win. I'll eat your cooking.
[21:23] Yu
    You mean it?
[21:25] Yu
    Leave it to me! My meals will
    be tasty and full of nutrients!
[21:29] Kazuki
    Hold on!
[21:30] Kazuki
    On one condition.
[21:32] Kazuki
    It's something I have to request.
[21:34] Yu
    Sure thing! What'll it be, Kazuki-san?
[21:37] Kazuki
    Well, it's just...
[21:40] Yu
    Yes?
[21:41] Kazuki
    No ca...
[21:43] Yu
    No what?
[21:45] Yu
    Kazuki-san?
[21:48] Kazuki
    No carrots... please.
[21:53] Kazuki
    And no bell peppers, shiitake mushrooms,
    eggplants, or bitter squash.
[21:57] Kazuki
    Or wood ear mushrooms!
[21:59] Yu
    Wait a minute. The whole time, you just
    didn't want to admit you're a fussy eater?
[22:05] Yu
    Are you a child, Kazuki-san?
[22:07] Kazuki
    Did you say something?!
