[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

Next, seal it in a vacuum pack
and boil for 30 minutes.

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.

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!

Taking your physical activity
into consideration,

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.
SIGN LOOM
[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!

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.

[16:56] Yu
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.

[18:03] Yu
I'll play the princess betrothed to you.

[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.
SIGN The Next Day
[18:43] Yu
Kazuki-san! I've read the whole script!

Please give me another chance, Kazuki-san!

what it takes to be a pro.
[19:16] (Flashback) Fan
Kazuki-sama is so perfect and flawless!

[19:26] (Flashback) Teacher
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!

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?!
