[00:01] Yu
    Ever since we went to the
    cherry blossom festival,
[00:04] Yu
    the sisters have been getting along better.
[00:07] Kazuki
    Niko, your collar's crooked.
[00:09] Niko
    Thanks.
[00:10] Niko
    Miwa, don't forget the handout.
[00:12] Miwa
    Thanks, Niko-chan.
[00:14] Teacher; overlap
    The Heian period began in 794 AD.
[00:15] Yu
    That's how they should be.
[00:17] Teacher; overlap
    Here's a mnemonic to help you remember.
[00:17] Yu
    Oh, yeah...
[00:19] (Flashback) Yu
    I'll make dinner to welcome you all back.
[00:23] Yu
    Right, I did make that promise.
[00:25] Yu
    Guess I'll have to keep it...
[00:27] Yu
    and make a huge feast!
[00:32] Yu
    Huh, that's odd. They're all home early.
[00:43] Yu
    Who's that?
[00:47] Yu
    Hello?
[00:51] Mr. Mikadono
    That you, Yu-kun?
[00:53] Yu
    That voice... That's Mr. Mikadono!
[00:56] Yu
    How do you do, sir? I'm Yu Ayase!
[00:59] Yu
    Thanks again for taking me in!
[01:01] Mr. Mikadono
    It's truly unfortunate what happened
    to your mother, Subaru-kun.
[01:05] Yu
    It's all right.
[01:07] Mr. Mikadono
    But there's no need to worry.
[01:09] Yu
    Huh?
[01:10] Mr. Mikadono
    Her talents will always live on.
    As long as you grow and develop.
[01:19] Yu
    What's going on here?
[01:22] Mr. Mikadono
    Now, back to our discussion.
[01:24] Mr. Mikadono
    Update me on your performance, Kazuki.
[01:28] Kazuki
    My shows were packed with fans.
[01:30] Kazuki
    I'm receiving rave reviews,
    and I have an interview tomorrow.
[01:33] Mr. Mikadono
    Niko.
[01:34] Niko
    I won the championship, like always.
[01:36] Niko
    I have another tournament soon,
    so I won't slack off.
[01:39] Mr. Mikadono
    Miwa.
[01:41] Miwa
    I won the preliminary matches.
[01:43] Miwa
    I'll go as far as I can in the title matches.
[01:46] Mr. Mikadono
    Is that so? Keep working hard, then.
[01:51] Yu
    M-Mr. Mikadono? Are you...
[01:53] Mr. Mikadono
    The performance reports are over.
    I need to leave.
[01:58] Yu
    I'm actually just about to make
    dinner for everyone.
[02:00] Yu
    Would you be interested in joining us?
[02:06] Mr. Mikadono
    A mask?
[02:08] Yu
    Oh, that.
[02:09] Yu
    We went to a festival last weekend.
[02:12] Mr. Mikadono
    A festival? Whose idea was that?
[02:15] Yu
    Mine.
[02:16] Yu
    By a sheer stroke of luck, they all
    ended up traveling to the same place.
[02:20] Yu
    And what's more, it was the same
    festival they went to as kids.
[02:24] Mr. Mikadono
    Yu-kun.
[02:26] Mr. Mikadono
    Why must you get in the way
    of my daughters' rise to the top?
[02:31] Yu
    But the shrine grants competitor's luck.
    It was perfect for them.
[02:35] Mr. Mikadono
    You're having them pray for luck to win?
[02:39] Mr. Mikadono
    One makes their own luck
    through persistent effort.
[02:42] Mr. Mikadono
    That's the only way.
[02:43] Yu
    But, I...
[02:44] Mr. Mikadono
    I raised my daughters
    to be tough and indomitable.
[02:49] Mr. Mikadono
    Their talents would only
    be wasted on the weak.
[02:52] Mr. Mikadono
    Yu-kun, I took the liberty
    of looking into your history.
[02:58] Mr. Mikadono
    You have no achievements
    worth mentioning, do you?
[03:02] Mr. Mikadono
    You're supposed to be the son of
    the gifted actress, Subaru Ayase.
[03:07] Mr. Mikadono
    Yet here you are.
[03:11] Mr. Mikadono
    Just an average nobody.
[03:17] Mr. Mikadono
    Yu-kun.
[03:18] Mr. Mikadono
    In this house,
[03:20] Mr. Mikadono
    talentless kids are not welcome.
[03:27] Mr. Mikadono
    Oh? What's with that look?
[03:30] Mr. Mikadono
    I will not have you bring that
    slacker mentality into this household.
[03:35] All
    Wait!
[03:37] Kazuki
    He may not have any
    achievements recognized by anyone,
[03:40] Kazuki
    but he does a good job here at home!
[03:42] Niko
    Yes, he's a loser
    who fails at everything, but...
[03:45] Miwa
    He cleans, does laundry, and cooks.
[03:46] Niko
    He's doing everything
    he can to support all of us!
[03:49] Kazuki
    Thanks to him, we're able to focus
    on perfecting our talents!
[03:55] Mr. Mikadono
    Why are you girls defending
    a boy you hardly know?
[03:59] Mr. Mikadono
    Do you need Yu-kun that much?
[04:02] Miwa
    I-It's not that we need him...
[04:04] Kazuki
    H-He's just sort of convenient to have around.
[04:06] Niko
    H-He earns his keep,
    if only just barely, so we were...
[04:10] Mr. Mikadono
    I don't wish to disrespect
    Subaru-kun's memory,
[04:13] Mr. Mikadono
    but I find it hard to believe you girls
    could be compatible with Yu-kun.
[04:17] Kazuki
    No, you're wrong!
[04:19] Kazuki
    W-We are compatible! With the new ki...
[04:23] Kazuki
    No, I mean...
[04:24] Niko
    Yeah, we mean...
[04:27] Miwa
    With Y-Y...

[06:13] (Flashback) Kazuki
    We're bonding very well with Yu-kun, Dad!
[06:17] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
    So you say.
[06:18] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
    However, we Mikadonos do not socialize.
[06:21] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
    You're no longer children.
[06:23] (Flashback) Mikadono
    Do not attend any more festivals or the like.
[06:26] (Flashback) All
    We won't.
[06:28] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
    Be sure to better your performances.
[06:32] (Flashback) Yu
    So, um...
[06:34] (Flashback) Yu
    Guys!
[06:35] (Flashback) Yu
    I'm making dinner today,
    and I know you'll like it when it's ready.
[06:39] (Flashback) Niko
    Sorry, new kid, but we don't have time
    to eat your food anymore.
[06:44] Yu
    It's been a week since then.
[06:46] Yu
    We've regressed to how we were
    when I first arrived here.
[06:49] Yu
    But after meeting Mr. Mikadono,
    I finally realized something.
[06:53] Yu
    The reason why the sisters work
    so hard to perfect their talents
[06:57] Yu
    and project so much strength
    that it intimidates others—
[07:00] Yu
    it's because of their dad.
[07:02] Yu
    Mr. Mikadono certainly seems to be an
    accomplished, upstanding individual,
[07:06] Yu
    but the girls looked pretty down
    in the dumps that day.
[07:10] Yu
    And they were just starting to get along, too.

[08:14] Kazuki
    But I don't want to drink it.
[08:22] Miwa
    These snacks don't taste so good anymore.
[08:26] Miwa
    Sheesh...
[08:29] Miwa
    No, I don't have time to think
    about that junk now.
[08:47] Miwa
    Damn it!
[08:48] Kazuki
    I thought I could simply return
    to my old routine, but...
[08:51] Niko
    Don't pop into my head!
[08:57] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
    Why must you get in the way of my daughters?
[09:00] Yu
    I was fixated on all of us eating together
    at the dinner table... as a family.
[09:05] Yu
    We'd smile and talk about
    whatever popped into our minds.
[09:10] Yu
    To me, being like that TV family was my ideal,
    which shows how mediocre my thinking is.
[09:17] (Flashback) Subaru
    I love this family show the most.
[09:22] (Flashback) Subaru
    I love those parts, too.
[09:24] Yu
    No! I have to do whatever
    I can for us to be a family!

    Better your performances.
[14:08] Yu
    Welcome home!
[14:11] All
    What are you doing?
[14:13] Yu
    I thought I'd add udon to my repertoire.
[14:15] Yu
    It'll be made from whole wheat flour for extra nutrition but'll have lower carbs—
[14:21] Yu
    Oww!
[14:26] Niko
    Well, we're back early,
    so we might as well eat with you.

    Thanks!

    Order up!

    For you, I made sardine and grated yam udon.
[14:39] Miwa
    Thanks a ton.
[14:41] Niko
    I gotta know, where did he learn to cook?
[14:46] Niko
    Still...
[14:52] Niko
    This food tastes incredibly average.
[14:55] Kazuki
    You think so too?
[14:56] Miwa
    That's what I noticed!
[14:57] Miwa
    The flavor's almost too average
    compared to how tasty it looks!
[15:01] Kazuki
    Yeah, it's average...

[15:12] Kazuki
    It never even crossed my mind...
[15:15] Both
    ...that "average" could be this good.
[15:20] Yu
    I'm so glad we're able to all eat together.
[15:25] Yu

[15:26] Kazuki
    Here. Let me help you wash up.
[15:31] Kazuki
    What are you staring at?
[15:33] Kazuki
    I'm not doing you a favor!
[15:35] Kazuki
    It's just, I'm trying to work on
    my so-called feminine side.
[15:39] Yu
    I don't think you need to be feminine
    to wash your own dishes.
[15:44] Kazuki
    You be quiet! Give me that!
[15:51] Yu
    Are you feeling better
    about your tough audition?
[15:58] Kazuki
    I don't know.
[15:59] Kazuki
    This would be my first time
    performing this type of role.
[16:02] Kazuki
    Honestly, I'm a bit...
[16:04] Kazuki
    No, I'm really anxious.
[16:09] Kazuki
    But the moment I came back home,
[16:12] Kazuki
    I forgot what I was so anxious about...
    at least for a moment.
[16:18] Kazuki
    So... maybe it'll be just fine.
[16:23] Kazuki
    It's not because of you, for the record!
[16:25] Yu
    Yes, I get it.
[16:27] Kazuki
    What happened to your fingers?
[16:29] Yu
    Oh, I ended up cutting them a lot.
[16:32] Kazuki
    I thought you were a skilled cook.
[16:34] Yu
    I'm afraid I'm not.
[16:35] Yu
    I even burned my hand on a pot,
    forgetting it was still hot.
[16:39] Kazuki
    Watch out!
[16:42] Kazuki
    It didn't break?
[16:44] Yu
    You have a lot of expensive dishes here,
    so I'm using hard plasticware instead.
[16:50] Yu
    So feel free to drop all the dishes
    you like! They'll be fine!
[16:53] Kazuki
    Don't make fun of me!

    He never gives up, though.
    Despite being a klutz.
[17:06] Kazuki
    Y-You okay?
[17:08] Yu
    My nose is bleeding...
[17:10] Kazuki
    Hey, let me see...
[17:29] Yu
    There was something soft and warm
    on my lips just now.
[17:33] Yu
    Don't tell me I kissed Kazuki-san?!
[17:37] Yu
    S-Sorry, Kazuki-san! I'm really sorry!
[17:40] Yu
    And I'm sorry that all I can do is say sorry!
[17:43] Kazuki
    Stop that. Settle down, you nobody.
[17:45] Kazuki
    That was obviously an accident,
    not a real kiss.
[17:48] Yu
    R-Right... An accident.
[17:51] Kazuki
    Do something about that nosebleed. Take care.
[17:55] Yu
    She took it in stride? Kazuki-san's amazing.
[18:02] Yu
    Still, I do feel sorry for her.
[18:04] Yu
    Accident or not, she kissed
    a guy with a nosebleed.
[18:08] Yu
    But it looks like she's not bothered by it.
[18:11] Yu
    She's probably done scenes
    like that a lot on stage.

    I'm sure you don't want one of your kisses
    to be from a freeloading failure.

    I most certainly do not.

[20:39] Actress
    I love you... My sweet prince.
[20:42] Kazuki
    Teary eyes and a cute voice...
[20:46] Kazuki
    Now I see. So this is what*
    femininity looks like.
[20:52] Kazuki
    I love you too.
[21:00] Teacher
    Let's stop right there.
[21:02] Teacher
    Mikadono-san, is something wrong?
[21:05] Teacher
    Is it a personal matter, perhaps?
[21:07] Kazuki
    N-No, nothing's wrong!
[21:09] Teacher
    Really?
[21:10] Teacher
    But please take care.
[21:12] Teacher
    What you do in your personal life
    can affect your performance.
[21:17] Kazuki
    You're right.
[21:24] Kazuki
    New kid.
[21:25] Yu
    Kazuki-san, welcome back.
[21:27] Kazuki
    My rehearsals have become a real grind.
[21:30] Kazuki
    I'll need you to make some
    stamina-boosting meals for me.
[21:33] Yu
    You got it.
[21:34] Kazuki
    I'm also close to running out
    of the hair conditioner I use.
[21:37] Yu
    I'll get more.
[21:39] Yu
    This is it! We're back to normal.
[21:46] Kazuki
    Also, will you be free this Sunday?
[21:50] Yu
    I'm free Sunday and every other day.
    Do you need me for something?
[21:58] Kazuki
    New kid.
[22:00] Kazuki
    I want to go on a date with you.
[22:02] Yu
    Wha?
[22:04] Kazuki
    If you're free on Sunday...
[22:06] Kazuki
    then spend it dating me.
