[00:05] Mako
    That's so strange.
[00:07] Mako
    I'm watering them like I should,
    but they don't seem to be doing well.
[00:11] Mako
    Oh, I know!
[00:16] Sakura
    Hello! What's up, Mako-chan?
[00:19] Mako
    Sorry to call you out of nowhere.
[00:21] Mako
    The thing is, I've started growing
    some winter veggies at home, but...
[00:29] Sakura
    I see.
[00:31] Sakura
    So they don't seem to be growing very well?
[00:33] Mako
    Th-That's right.
[00:34] Sakura
    How about I give you something that you
    can use to help your vegetables grow?
[00:38] Mako
    Huh? You'd do that?
[00:39] Sakura
    Sure! It's only natural to help
    each other in times of trouble.
[00:43] Mako
    Thank you so much!
[00:50] Mako
    That's a relief.
[00:51] Mako
    You'll all be feeling better very soon, okay?

[02:30] Shinon
    Another day of hard work down!
[02:32] Shinon
    My IQ's gotta be, like,
    50 points higher by now.
[02:35] Tsutsuji
    You certainly did study hard.
[02:36] Nana
    What was your starting IQ?
[02:39] Nana
    Whoa, no way! It's pitch-black outside!
[02:42] Shinon
    I guess we should get going.
[02:43] Tsutsuji
    Indeed.
[02:45] Shinon
    Thanks, both of you, for doing this with me.
[02:49] Nana
    I never thought I'd ever hear the words
    "let's study" come out of your mouth.
[02:53] Tsutsuji
    Though all you did was copy Nana's notes.
[02:58] Nana
    Oh!
[03:00] Shinon
    Is something wrong?
[03:01] Nana
    I might've left something
    back in the classroom.
[03:03] Shinon
    Really? That's no good.
[03:05] Tsutsuji
    Do you want to go back and get it?
[03:07] Nana
    Y-Yeah.
[03:18] Tsutsuji
    Is it there?
[03:20] Nana
    Found it!
[03:22] Shinon
    Good! Now, let's get outta here!
[03:25] Nana
    Huh?
[03:25] Nana
    Hitsuji-chan, the light went...
[03:31] Nana
    H-Hey!
[03:33] Nana
    Don't scare me like that!
[03:34] Tsutsuji
    Sorry.
[03:36] Tsutsuji
    The atmosphere was so perfect,
    I just couldn't help myself.
[03:39] Nana
    Atmosphere aside, you can't
    go around scaring people!
[03:42] Shinon
    Indeed. It's not good to startle others.
[03:45] Tsutsuji
    R-Right.
[03:47] Shinon
    That's why we'll ease into it instead
    with a round of ghost stories!
[03:50] Nana
    No! I don't wanna! I won't do it!
[03:53] Shinon
    This isn't an urban legend...
[03:56] Shinon
    but apparently, a phantom woman in
    a hood haunts this school every night.
[04:01] Nana
    W-Wait! I didn't agree to this! Stop it!
[04:05] Shinon
    I'm just kidding! Come on, let's go!
[04:08] Nana
    Seriously, don't do that!
[04:10] Tsutsuji
    You really are a scaredy-cat, aren't you?
[04:21] Tsutsuji
    Oh. The doors are locked.
[04:23] Shinon
    But why?
[04:24] Nana
    They should still be open at this time...
[04:28] Nana
    Oh, there's a notice.
SIGN    Notice of Change to Building Access Hours
SIGN    During the exam period, the access hours
    
    
    
    for the school buildings will be shortened.
[04:30] Nana
    "During the exam period, the access hours
    for the school buildings will be shortened"?
[04:35] Shinon
    Oh, that's right! They're
    closing earlier this week!
[04:39] Tsutsuji
    I completely forgot.
[04:41] Nana
    Then... how do we get out?
[04:45] Shinon
    The doors by the office might still be open!
[04:49] Shinon
    Though we might get yelled at if they
    find out we're here after hours.
[04:52] Nana
    I don't want that clerk to yell at us,
    but that's the only way out.
[04:56] Tsutsuji
    Just a moment.
[04:58] Shinon
    What is it?
[04:59] Tsutsuji
    There's something I was told last week
    by someone else in our year level.
[05:03] Nana
    What? What is it? More of that scary story?
[05:06] Tsutsuji
    No.
[05:08] Tsutsuji
    Apparently, there was a club that stayed
    in a school building past closing time.
[05:13] Nana
    And...
[05:14] Tsutsuji
    When that club's actions came to light...
[05:20] Tsutsuji
    they were apparently forced to disband.
[05:23] Nana
    What?! That's scary in a whole different—
[05:25] Shinon
    Nana, quiet!
[05:27] Nana
    So this could be the end of the
    Food Culture Research Club?
[05:29] Shinon
    If that's true, then the moment
    we're spotted, it's all over!
[05:34] Nana
    S-So what do we do?
[05:36] Shinon
    W-We just won't get caught.
[05:38] Shinon
    We'll get out of here before anyone finds out!
[05:40] Tsutsuji
    R-Right. First, let's head for the office.
[05:55] Tsutsuji
    I'll get down low and scout the path out first.
[05:59] Shinon
    You'll do that for us?
[06:01] Tsutsuji
    I'll keep an eye on the office,
    and if I see an opening, I'll signal you.
[06:05] Tsutsuji
    Then you two follow after me.
[06:08] Shinon
    Right. Roger that!
[06:23] clerk's kouhai
    Oh, Senpai. Isn't it about time we checked
    that the doors are properly locked?
[06:27] clerk
    Oh, that's right.
[06:28] clerk
    We're supposed to do that during
    the exam period, aren't we?
[06:31] clerk's kouhai
    Speaking of which, I heard there's a rumor
    going around among the students.
[06:36] clerk's kouhai
    They say a phantom woman
    wearing a hood appears here at night.
[06:40] clerk
    Well, the students do love their scary stories.
[06:44] clerk
    Come on. Let's go check those doors.
[06:48] clerk's kouhai
    Okay!
[06:53] Tsutsuji
    This is bad!
[06:54] Tsutsuji
    The clerk's about to come this way!
[06:56] Shinon
    What? For real?
[06:57] Nana
    Th-Then we need to get out of here!
[07:00] Shinon
    The second floor! Run to the second floor!
[07:07] clerk's kouhai
    I'll check the ones over there, then.
[07:10] clerk
    Got it.
[07:20] Shinon
    W-We ran and hid in the second floor
    locker room without thinking.
[07:25] Shinon
    If we were on the first floor, we might
    have been able to escape through a window.
[07:28] Tsutsuji
    Wh-What do we do? We've only gotten
    farther away from the office.
[07:37] Nana
    If we stay here, it's only a matter
    of time before we're caught.
[07:40] Shinon
    Yeah. Let's move away.
[07:48] clerk
    Hey! Is someone there?
[07:51] Shinon
    Oh, no! She found us! Run away!
[07:54] clerk
    Wait!
[07:59] clerk
    I couldn't see clearly in the dark,
    but they were students, weren't they?
[08:06] clerk
    Seriously, stop running!
[08:10] Tsutsuji
    P-Please wait for me!
    Running really isn't my thing!
[08:22] clerk
    A hooded woman?
[08:25] clerk
    Wait... Are you from the
    Food Culture Research Club?
[08:29] Tsutsuji
    N-No! I'm just a little lost sheep!
[08:32] clerk
    There's no need to lie.
[08:34] clerk
    So the others were from the Food
    Culture Research Club, too, then?
[08:47] clerk
    Another hooded woman...
[08:50] clerk
    No, another member of the
    Food Culture Research Club?
[08:56] clerk
    Hey! Don't run! Stop!
[09:02] Shinon
    Which way was the office again?
[09:06] Nana
    Hold on! We've lost Hitsuji-chan!
[09:08] Shinon
    F-For real?
[09:10] Nana
    We have to find her quickly
    and run away together!
[09:13] clerk
    Oh? And where were you planning to run?
[09:18] Shinon
    W-We're so very sorry!
[09:20] clerk
    You don't have to kneel like that.
    Why did you run away at all?
[09:24] Shinon
    We were here studying, and the building
    got locked up before we realized it.
[09:29] Shinon
    We heard that if we got caught,
    our club would be disbanded.
[09:34] Shinon
    We shouldn't have run! Please, grant us mercy!
[09:40] Shinon; background
    Sob, sob, sob!
[09:40] clerk
    It's hard to tell you this when
    you're kneeling in apology like that,
[09:44] clerk
    but that rumor isn't true.
[09:47] Tsutsuji; Shinon; Nana
    What?
[09:48] clerk
    No club has ever been disbanded
    for something like that.
[09:52] clerk
    Even if action were taken,
    at most, you'd get a mild warning.
[09:56] Shinon
    R-Really? What a relief!
[09:59] Tsutsuji
    I lost a few years of my life back there.
[10:02] clerk
    Just do your best not to contribute
    to the spread of these baseless rumors.
[10:06] clerk
    You're not the first ones to get fooled
    and send us on a wild goose chase.
[10:11] clerk
    And that hooded lady rumor started
    because of you guys, didn't it?
[10:16] clerk
    Which of you was the hooded
    one I saw running before?
[10:18] Shinon
    Huh? Someone wearing a hood?
    Besides Tsutsuji, you mean?
[10:22] clerk
    There was another hooded girl besides her.
[10:26] Shinon
    My clothes don't have a hood,
    and Nana's don't, either.
[10:30] Nana
    Right. Right.
[10:33] Tsutsuji
    I saw the hooded woman, too. But it's just
    been the three of us together the whole time.
[10:39] Tsutsuji
    We didn't have anyone else with us.
[10:45] Shinon
    You don't think... you saw the actual
    hooded lady from the rumor, do you?
[10:52] clerk
    I...
[10:54] clerk
    I did.
[10:56] Shinon
    Oh, crap! You're totally cursed now!
[11:00] clerk
    Cursed? Is that how it works?
    Is she the cursing type?!
[11:03] Tsutsuji
    I was with you when it happened,
    so am I cursed, too?
[11:06] Tsutsuji
    Shinon, I'll pass some of it to you!
[11:07] Shinon
    No! Don't do it!
[11:16] Sakura
    That sure gave me a start!
[11:19] Sakura
    I always wear my hood to hide
    my face when I'm studying late,
[11:23] Sakura
    but it seems I've finally been found out.
[11:26] Sakura
    I wonder if I should go
    and apologize to that clerk.
[11:30] Sakura
    But if that rumor is true,
    they might disband my club for it...
[11:37] Sakura
    Well, I'll think about it later.
[11:40] Sakura
    The moon sure is pretty tonight.
[11:51] Nana
    Oh, that's right.
    It's already almost Christmas.
[11:56] Mako
    What? A Christmas party?
[11:58] Nana
    Yeah! We could have a gift exchange,
[12:01] Nana
    make a toast while eating roast chicken,
[12:03] Nana
    watch a movie...
[12:05] Mako
    Sounds like fun!
[12:06] Nana
    Right?
[12:08] Kurea
    Don't look at me with those sparkling eyes.
[12:11] Kurea
    I have to help at the restaurant on
    Christmas Eve, but the next day is fine.
[12:16] Tsutsuji
    I'm free then, too.
[12:18] Nana
    All right! Yay!
[12:20] Kurea
    She's not here yet, but I guess
    it's down to Shinon now.
[12:24] Shinon
    Hey, guys! Are you free for Christmas?
[12:28] Kurea
    I think she's on board.
[12:31] Nana
    So, where will we have our Christmas party?
[12:34] Shinon
    Oh, and we're gonna cook, right?
[12:36] Mako
    Yes, I was planning to,
[12:39] Mako
    but since Christmas is a special occasion,
[12:41] Mako
    I thought it might be nice to do it somewhere
    with better equipment than the club room.
[12:45] Shinon
    In that case, I think your place
    would be perfect, Makocchi!
[12:48] Mako
    What? My place?
[12:50] Shinon
    Yup! Now that I think about it,
[12:52] Shinon
    I haven't been to your place once
    since we met here in Tokyo!
[12:56] Tsutsuji
    I'd like to see your place, too.
[12:58] Kurea
    It's a bit tough on her to decide
    this on such short notice.
[13:01] Kurea
    Mako, are you sure it's okay?
[13:03] Mako
    Sure! It'll be fine.
[13:05] Mako
    I can't wait for the party!
[13:07] Mako
    I did say that, but...
[13:09] Mako
    This is my first time having friends over,
[13:13] Mako
    so now that the party's tomorrow,
    I'm getting nervous.
[13:17] Mako
    I might have missed a few spots
    while cleaning. Better clean again.
[13:29] Mako
    There. I think that should do it.
[13:33] Mako
    I've already bought all the ingredients
    for what we're cooking,
[13:36] Mako
    and the bath bomb I ordered online as a
    present should arrive tomorrow morning.
[13:40] Mako
    Yup! I'm all set!
[13:43] Mako
    Actually, I should probably decorate... right?
[13:46] Mako
    If I go to the general store by the station,
    I should be able to get all kinds of stuff.
[13:50] Mako
    Okay!
[13:57] Mako
    All of this, please!
[13:58] checker
    Th-Thank you for your business.
[14:21] Mako
    I'll hang this here, and...
[14:23] Mako
    Okay! It's looking good!
[14:37] Mako
    Is it morning already?
[14:40] Mako
    Yup. It's perfect.
[14:42] Mako
    I really worked hard through
    the night to put these up!
[14:46] Mako
    It should be okay if I've
    got all of this, right?
[14:49] Mako
    And the time right now is...
[14:51] Mako
    12:40 PM?
[14:54] Mako
    Hang on.
[14:55] Mako
    When was the bath bomb I was going to
    give as a present supposed to arrive?

[15:14] Shinon
    Hey, Nana!
[15:16] Nana
    Oh! Guys!
[15:18] Shinon
    Hello!
[15:19] Tsutsuji
    That's quite a large sack.
    Is your present that big?
[15:23] Nana
    It's in there, but I brought
    something else cool, as well.
[15:27] Kurea
    Really? What is it?
[15:28] Nana
    That's a secret! You can
    look forward to finding out.
[15:32] Kurea
    Aw...
[15:35] Shinon
    We're here, Makocchi!
[15:39] Mako
    Welcome to... welcome...
[15:43] Shinon
    What's wrong, Makocchi?
[15:46] Mako
    So, I scheduled my present to be delivered
    today, but I missed the delivery time.
[15:54] Mako
    I asked for it to be redelivered, but, um...
[16:01] Mako
    I'm sorry, everyone.
[16:03] Shinon
    What? Is that all it was?
[16:05] Mako
    Huh?
[16:06] Kurea
    You can just give your present later.
[16:08] Kurea
    That makes one more thing to look forward to!
[16:11] Shinon
    I thought it was gonna be something serious!
[16:13] Tsutsuji
    Indeed.
[16:15] Tsutsuji
    And wow, you really went
    all-out on the decorations.
[16:19] Tsutsuji
    Is that a home vegetable garden?
[16:22] Mako
    Oh, yeah. I've been having some
    trouble getting them to grow,
[16:25] Mako
    so I asked Sakura-senpai for advice.
[16:28] Mako
    I've also been growing
    pea sprouts in the kitchen,
[16:32] Mako
    so I was thinking of using
    those in the dishes today.
[16:34] Tsutsuji
    Wow! I'm looking forward to it!
[16:37] Nana
    Oh, that's right! I brought
    a little something, too.
[16:42] Nana
    Ta-da!
[16:43] Nana
    I asked my big sister to lend me the Santa
    costumes they used in the shop last year!
[16:48] Nana
    After you finish cooking, Makocchan,
    we can wear these while we eat!
[16:51] Nana
    I've got enough for everyone,
    so please wear them if you'd like!
[16:55] Tsutsuji
    Oh, sounds like fun.
[16:57] Kurea
    You did all this for us?
[16:59] Shinon
    Ooh, let's see!
[17:02] Kurea
    Well, should we start cooking?
[17:04] Mako
    Yes, let's.
[17:06] Nana
    What are you making?
[17:08] Mako
    Let's see. A pea sprout wreath
    salad with bruschetta...
[17:12] Mako
    and that's just the beginning!
[17:16] Mako
    Okay, let's get started!
[17:18] Kurea
    Sure.
[17:20] Mako; internal
    Take out the chicken marinated in salt,
    garlic, olive oil, and rosemary.

    completely cooked through.

[17:47] Mako; internal

[17:51] Mako; internal
    pea shoots, ham, and cherry tomatoes.
[17:55] Mako; internal

[18:05] Mako; internal
    and it's ready!
[18:07] Kurea
    Thanks for waiting!

    It's ready!
[18:12] Shinon
    That classic roast chicken looks so good!
[18:15] Nana
    And the bruschetta look delicious, too!
[18:18] Tsutsuji
    The cream soup smells wonderful.
[18:21] Mako
    Isn't it nice having a Christmas-themed salad?
[18:24] Kurea
    Oh, before we eat, let's change into
    the Santa outfits that Nana brought!
[18:29] Shinon
    Aw, yeah! Lemme wear one!
[18:32] Shinon
    So...
[18:33] Shinon
    Why am I a reindeer?
[18:35] Nana
    We were one outfit short.
[18:37] Shinon
    Well, then, a toast to Christmas!
[18:39] everyone
    Cheers!
[18:45] Kurea
    I'll carve the chicken,
    so eat as much as you want!
[18:48] everyone
    Okay!
[18:58] Tsutsuji
    This bruschetta is delicious!

    It's so good!
[19:01] Mako
    Really?
[19:01] Shinon
    Another serving of chicken!
[19:03] Kurea
    Coming up.
[19:04] Shinon
    Thanks!
[19:07] Kurea
    I cut the cake.
[19:13] Shinon
    Kurea, why is your strawberry bigger?
[19:15] Kurea
    I'm sure they're all the same size.
[19:18] Tsutsuji
    This cake sure is delicious.
[19:21] Nana
    Hitsuji-chan, you have whipped
    cream on your cheek.
[19:25] Tsutsuji
    Thank you.
[19:27] Mako; internal
    A familiar room, now filled

    Thank you very much.

    You're welcome!

[20:27] Mako
    O-Okay.
[20:29] Mako
    Oh, it's lipstick!
[20:31] Mako
    Thank you, Nana-chan!
[20:33] Shinon
    Wow, you know your stuff!
[20:36] Kurea
    Nicely done, Nana!
[20:37] Nana
    Right? Feel free to praise my
    feminine prowess even more.
[20:42] Tsutsuji
    What brand is it?
[20:45] Nana
    Brand?
[20:46] Kurea
    Oh, her sister chose it.
[20:48] Mako
    So... I'm supposed to give my present
    to you, Shinon-chan, but...
[20:52] Shinon
    Oh, don't worry about it!
    Whenever it arrives is fine!
[20:55] Shinon
    Should we watch a movie together next?
[20:58] Mako
    Okay. Sorry about this, Shinon-chan.
[21:01] Mako
    Oh, could that be...
[21:03] Shinon
    Is it here?
[21:05] Mako
    Coming!
[21:08] Mako
    Yay! Your present arrived!
[21:11] Shinon
    Makocchi, can I open it?
[21:13] Mako
    Yes, please do.
[21:19] Shinon
    Let's see.
[21:21] Shinon
    Oh, this is...
[21:23] Mako
    That's right! It's a bath bomb!
    And quite a nice one, too!
[21:29] Shinon
    Ah.
[21:31] Shinon
    What are these? Fallen leaves?
[21:33] Tsutsuji
    There seems to be dirt in here, too.
[21:35] Mako
    Huh?
[21:36] Shinon
    Smells kinda funny, too.
[21:38] Shinon
    This is a bath bomb?
[21:40] Shinon
    Oh, I know! It's a mud bath!
    It's a mud bath bomb, right?
[21:44] Shinon
    Thank you, Makocchi!
[21:47] Mako
    Th-That's not what I ordered.
[21:51] Mako
    What the heck?!
[21:54] Mako
    Huh?
[21:59] Sakura
    I hope Mako-chan likes the compost
    I made for her from fallen leaves.
[22:05] Sakura
    I hope her home garden
    grows up big and strong.
[22:11] Sakura
    Snow?
[22:15] Sakura
    Oh, it's a white Christmas!
[22:19] Sakura
    How romantic!
