**[00:30] M**
Kokomi, you have practice this morning, right?
**[00:33] M**
Wake up.
**[00:45] Kokomi**
Good morning.
**[00:52] Kokomi**
Good morning.
**[00:54] D**
Good morning, Kokomi.
**[00:56] M**
You'd better eat quickly or you'll be late.
**[00:59] Kokomi**
Thanks for breakfast.
**[01:01] D**
You have practice this morning?
**[01:03] ---**
Is there a tournament coming up?
**[01:05] M**
She's hoping to place in
the prefectural tournament.
**[01:08] M**
You'll have to work hard.
**[01:09] Kokomi**
Right!
**[01:12] Kokomi**
I'm going now!
**[01:14] M**
Take care!

**[03:04] R**
Good morning!
**[03:07] Kokomi**
Good morning.
**[03:09] R**
Morning!
**[03:10] Haruko**
I'm going to need to add more fertilizer soon.
**[03:15] Rui**
That's right.
**[03:18] Rui**
Tachibana-sensei!
**[03:20] Akiho**
Good morning!
**[03:22] Tachibana**
Good morning, Kamijou-san,
**[03:24] Tachibana**
Shigetou-san.
**[03:26] Kokomi**
Good morning, Tachibana-sensei!
**[03:29] Tachibana**
Good morning, Shiina-san.
**[03:31] Kazuha**
Oh, good morning.
**[03:33] Kokomi**
Keep at it, Kumada-san.
**[03:43] Kokomi**
Harumiya-san!
**[03:45] Kokomi**
Good morning!
**[03:47] Tsugumi**
Good morning, Shiina-san!
**[03:48] Tsugumi**
Good luck at practice!
**[03:50] Kokomi**
Right!
**[03:52] Yuzuko**
Ah, Shiina-senpai.
**[03:55] Yuzuko**
It's almost time for your rhythmic
gymnastics tournament, right?
**[03:57] Kokomi**
It's the Sunday after next.
**[03:59] Kokomi**
There's not much time left,
so I'm a little worried.
**[04:03] Yuzuko**
You'll be fine, Shiina-senpai!
**[04:05] Yuzuko**
I'm rooting for you!
**[04:06] Kokomi**
Thank you, Hazuki-san.
**[04:20] Kokomi**
All right.
**[04:27] BA**
Good morning, Shiina-san.
**[04:29] Kokomi**
Good morning.
**[05:01] Erena**
That was close.
**[05:02] Kokomi**
Mochizuki-senpai.
**[05:03] Erena**
Sorry about that...
**[05:05] Erena**
Did I distract you?
**[05:06] Kokomi**
Sorry, I'm not good with having my
picture taken while I'm practicing.
**[05:10] Erena**
But you were just so cute, Kokomi-chan.
**[05:14] Kokomi**
Senpai...
**[05:16] Erena**
Could you pose like that again for me?
**[05:20] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[05:21] Erena**
Those things are "clubs," right?
**[05:23] Erena**
It looked really pretty when
you were tossing them around.
**[05:26] Erena**
Could you do it one more time?
**[05:30] Kokomi**
Um... Mochizuki-senpai...
**[05:34] Erena**
You're so adorable, Kokomi-chan.
**[05:37] ---**
Um...
**[05:39] Kokomi**
I can't focus when people are watching me...
**[05:42] Kokomi**
I'm sorry.
**[05:43] Erena**
Really?
**[05:44] Erena**
It'll be even better practice
for your competitions, then.
**[05:48] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[05:48] Erena**
I'll watch you.
**[05:51] Erena**
That way, you can practice your concentration.
**[05:54] Kokomi**
No, that's not what I...
**[05:57] Chloe**
Non, non. Erena-san, that's no good.
**[06:00] Erena**
Who's there?
**[06:02] Chloe**
I'm Chloe Lemaire.
**[06:05] Chloe**
Practice is a sacred thing.
**[06:09] Chloe**
No one should interfere.
**[06:13] Chloe**
I think your request is extremely selfish.
**[06:17] Erena**
I can't?
**[06:19] Chloe**
No.
**[06:22] Erena**
That's too bad.
**[06:23] Erena**
Fine.
**[06:26] Erena**
Hm?
**[06:27] Erena**
Next time, let me get some pictures of you
**[06:29] ---**
when you're done with practice.
**[06:31] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[06:32] Erena**
See you later, Kokomi-chan.
**[06:36] Chloe**
Erena-san is just impossible.
**[06:40] Chloe**
I'm sorry.
**[06:41] Chloe**
She just really likes girls.
**[06:44] ---**
I don't think she means any harm.
**[06:48] Kokomi**
No, not at all.
**[06:50] Kokomi**
Thank you, Lemaire-san.
**[06:52] Chloe**
I know of you.
**[06:55] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[06:55] Chloe**
Kokomi Shiina-san.
**[06:57] Chloe**
A second-year.
**[06:58] Chloe**
A cute and pretty girl.
**[07:00] Kokomi**
Th-Thank you.
**[07:02] Chloe**
Oh, yeah.
**[07:03] Chloe**
Do you know what this means?
**[07:06] Chloe**
"Mimi in the wall, Mary in the door."
**[07:09] Kokomi**
Mary?
**[07:10] Chloe**
Are they sisters? Friends?
**[07:13] Chloe**
And why is Mimi in a wall?
**[07:17] Kokomi**
Um, the "Mimi" isn't a girl's name.
It's the Japanese word for "ears."
**[07:24] ---**
Oh!
**[07:25] Kokomi**
And "Mary" is "me ari," which means "have eyes."
**[07:27] ---**
Oh, my!
**[07:28] Kokomi**
So it's "The walls have ears
and the doors have eyes."
**[07:33] Kokomi**
It's a Japanese idiom that means you never know
**[07:35] ---**
who's listening to you or watching you,
even if you're being secretive,
**[07:40] ---**
so you should be careful what you say and do.
**[07:43] Chloe**
Oh, très bien!
**[07:45] Chloe**
Wonderful.
**[07:47] Chloe**
What a wonderfully literary expression.
**[07:51] Chloe**
Now I can add something
new to my Japan notebook.
**[07:55] Chloe**
Thank you!
**[07:57] Kokomi**
Um, you're welcome.
**[08:00] Chloe**
Will you teach me more things, Kokomi-san?
**[08:05] Kokomi**
Sure, if I can.
**[08:08] Chloe**
Merci, Kokomi-san.
**[08:10] Chloe**
Let us meet again.
**[08:21] Kokomi**
This is...
**[08:34] Nao**
Hm? Kokomi-chan?
**[08:36] Nao**
What's wrong?
**[08:38] Kokomi**
Um, have you seen Lemaire-san?
**[08:41] Nao**
Lemaire-san?
**[08:43] Nao**
The third-year girl?
**[08:45] Nao**
I just got here, so I'm not sure.
**[08:51] Nao**
Hm?
**[08:52] Nao**
You better get changed, or you'll be late.
**[08:55] Kokomi**
Oh, yeah!
**[09:04] Kokomi**
I made it in time...
**[09:08] Emi**
Sorry!
**[09:10] Kokomi**
Good morning, Sagara-san.
**[09:13] Kokomi**
Practicing your juggling?
**[09:15] Emi**
Thanks.
**[09:16] Emi**
I can do four balls at once, but...
**[09:21] Kokomi**
It's always hard to handle props in gymnastics.
**[09:24] Emi**
Yeah, clubs are really hard, too, right?
**[09:28] Emi**
How do you do it, Kokomi-chan?
**[09:29] Kokomi**
I think the trick is to make use
of their centrifugal force.
**[09:34] Emi**
Centrifugal force?
**[09:35] Kokomi**
It's a snap of the wrist.
**[09:37] Emi**
I get it.
**[09:39] Emi**
A snap, huh?
**[09:40] Marika**
But if you try to catch their
weight with just your wrists,
**[09:43] ---**
it's easy to hurt yourself, so be careful.
**[09:45] Emi**
Got it!
**[09:46] Marika**
How is that finger you jammed the other day?
**[09:49] Kokomi**
Saeki-san took a look at it for me.
**[09:51] Kokomi**
It's fine now.
**[09:56] Marika**
Looks good to me.
**[09:58] Marika**
It doesn't feel feverish, either.
**[09:59] Marika**
That's good.
**[10:00] Emi**
Marika-chan, you're like the
nightingale of Seiou Academy.
**[10:04] Marika**
I'm on the health committee.
**[10:05] ---**
I have to know this stuff.
**[10:08] Kokomi**
Um, I have a question.
**[10:09] Both**
Hm?
**[10:10] Kokomi**
Do you know Chloe Lemaire-san, the third-year?
**[10:13] Emi**
Of course.
**[10:14] Marika**
She's famous throughout the school.
**[10:17] Kokomi**
I only know she's a French exchange student.
**[10:21] Emi**
Yeah, so she's living in the dorms.
**[10:24] Marika**
Apparently, she's really interested in Japan.
**[10:26] Marika**
The other day, she came to the nurse's office
**[10:28] ---**
and took pictures of the eye chart.
**[10:31] Marika**
She said it was different from French ones.
**[10:33] Emi**
She's even interested in stuff like that?
**[10:35] Marika**
Yeah.
**[10:36] Kokomi**
Do you know what class she's in?
**[10:38] Marika**
Class A, I believe.
**[10:39] Marika**
Why?
**[10:41] Kokomi**
There's something I'd like to return to her.
**[10:44] Tachibana**
Good morning, everyone.
**[10:46] All**
Good morning.
**[10:52] Tachibana**
It's almost the season for fall tournaments,
**[10:54] ---**
the cultural fair, and other events,
**[10:57] ---**
but I want you all to make sure you're careful
**[10:59] ---**
not to injure yourselves.
**[11:18] Kokomi**
S-Sorry!
**[11:19] Kokomi**
I was spacing out...
**[11:21] Kanata**
Oh, I'm sorry, too.
**[11:25] Kokomi**
The student council president!
**[11:26] Kanata**
My name's Kanata Amatsu.
**[11:29] Kanata**
And you're... Kokomi Shiina-san, correct?
**[11:33] Kokomi**
You know who I am?
**[11:35] Kanata**
Yes.
**[11:36] Kanata**
You're famous.
**[11:38] Kanata**
You're the ace of the rhythmic gymnastics team.
**[11:41] Kanata**
I've seen many of your performances,
**[11:44] Kanata**
and they were all wonderful!
**[11:46] Kokomi**
Thank you very much.
**[11:48] Mutsumi**
President, where are you going?
**[11:50] Mutsumi**
You still have all this work left to do.
**[11:53] Kanata**
Oh, my. What a problem.
**[11:56] Mutsumi**
You promised to read over this
material by the end of today.
**[12:00] Kanata**
Can't I just leave that to you, Mutsumi-chan?
**[12:04] Mutsumi**
No, you can't.
**[12:06] Mutsumi**
I'm just the secretary.
**[12:07] Kanata**
But...
**[12:09] Mutsumi**
I won't spoil you like the vice president does.
**[12:12] Kanata**
You're so strict, Mutsumi-chan.
**[12:16] Kanata**
By the way, Shiina-san.
**[12:18] Kanata**
You're a second-year, so why were
you in a third-year classroom?
**[12:23] Kokomi**
I'm actually looking for Lemaire-san.
**[12:27] Kanata**
Let's see.
**[12:29] Kanata**
She was here until just a second ago...
**[12:32] Kanata**
Chloe-san tends to appear and
disappear unexpectedly.
**[12:35] Kanata**
Do you need her for something?
**[12:37] Kokomi**
Yes.
**[12:38] ---**
If you have any idea where she might be,
I'd appreciate it if you could tell me.
**[12:43] Kanata**
Well...
**[12:44] Mutsumi**
I see her in the library quite often.
**[12:48] Kanata**
How about taking a look in the library?
**[12:51] Kanata**
It seems like she's always researching something.
**[12:54] Kokomi**
I will.
**[12:55] Kokomi**
Thank you very much.
**[13:09] R**
Stand.
**[13:10] R**
Bow.
**[13:19] Kokomi**
Oh, excuse me!
**[13:22] Saya**
You seem to be in quite the hurry.
**[13:24] Kokomi**
I'm sorry.
**[13:25] Saya**
Good timing.
**[13:26] Saya**
I wanted to interview you
for the school newspaper.
**[13:29] Kokomi**
Interview?
**[13:30] Saya**
Yes.
**[13:31] Saya**
I'm gathering comments from prominent athletes
**[13:33] ---**
who are participating in the fall tournaments.
**[13:35] Kokomi**
Comments?
**[13:37] Kokomi**
Well...
**[13:39] Saya**
Let's start with what you hope to achieve.
**[13:41] Kokomi**
Well, I am trying to place
higher than I did last year.
**[13:45] Saya**
Are you trying to make it to nationals?
**[13:46] Kokomi**
Yes, I'd like to go, if possible.
**[13:49] Kokomi**
For that, I need to get a good rank
in the prefectural tournament first.
**[13:54] Nonoka**
Oh, Kokomi-chan and Saya-san.
**[13:57] Nonoka**
What are you two doing here?
**[14:00] Saya**
I'm interviewing Shiina-san.
**[14:02] Nonoka**
How wonderful.
**[14:04] Nonoka**
When will that be printed?
**[14:06] Saya**
We're shooting for next week.
**[14:08] Saya**
Hm? What's wrong, Shiina-san?
**[14:11] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[14:11] Saya**
Your face is red.
**[14:12] Kokomi**
No, it's nothing.
**[14:14] Nonoka**
Oh, dear. Do you have a fever?
**[14:19] Kokomi**
Sasahara-senpai...
**[14:21] Nonoka**
This is terrible.
**[14:22] Nonoka**
You're burning up.
**[14:23] Nonoka**
Are you okay?
**[14:24] Nonoka**
Do you need to go to the nurse's office?
**[14:25] Kokomi**
No, I'm fine.
**[14:27] Nonoka**
But you're really feverish...
**[14:29] Kokomi**
It's nothing, really!
**[14:34] Kokomi**
Excuse me, Sasahara-senpai,
Kagurazaka-senpai.
**[14:52] ---**
Girl Friend BETA.
**[15:11] Akane**
Good afternoon!
**[15:13] Akane**
How is everyone spending their lunch break?
**[15:17] Akane**
This is Akane Sakurai,
and I'll be your host every week,
**[15:21] ---**
Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays,
with upbeat music and fun talks
**[15:24] ---**
to liven up your lunch breaks at Seiou Academy.
**[15:27] Akane**
Okay, it's now time for "Q & Akane,"
**[15:31] ---**
where I'll answer any questions
or worries you might have!
**[15:45] ---**
Um...
**[15:46] Kokomi**
You're Fumio Murakami-san, on the
librarian committee, correct?
**[15:51] Fumio**
Yes.
**[15:51] Kokomi**
I'm Kokomi Shiina, a second-year.
**[15:55] Kokomi**
Is Chloe Lemaire-san here?
**[15:58] Fumio**
I haven't seen her today.
**[16:01] Fumio**
She was here yesterday, saying she
wanted to research flower arrangement.
**[16:06] Kokomi**
Flower arrangement?
**[16:07] Fumio**
Yes.
**[16:08] Fumio**
Do you need her for something?
**[16:10] Kokomi**
Yes. I have something to give to her.
**[16:13] Kokomi**
Do you think she might be in the
flower arrangement club room?
**[16:16] Fumio**
It's possible.
**[16:17] Fumio**
She's been rather interested in flower
arrangement and tea ceremonies lately.
**[16:22] Fumio**
She might be there.
**[16:24] Kokomi**
Thank you.
**[16:26] Kokomi**
I'll check it out.

**[16:39] Akane**
Well, lunch break is almost over.
**[16:43] Akane**
So, everyone, good luck
in your afternoon classes!
**[16:47] Akane**
See you. Bye-bye!
**[16:54] Nodoka**
Good work.
**[16:55] ---**
You, too.
**[16:57] Akane**
I stuttered a little bit.
**[16:59] Nodoka**
Really? I couldn't tell at all.
**[17:01] Nodoka**
It was fine!
**[17:06] T**
It was because the negotiations broke down that...
**[17:24] R**
See you later.
**[17:27] ---**
Let's stop by the café.
**[17:29] ---**
I'm so hungry.
**[17:30] ---**
I'm in! I really want some lemonade.
**[17:33] ---**
He still isn't back.
**[17:35] ---**
Yeah. I wonder where he is.
**[17:36] ---**
How far did he go, anyway?
**[17:39] Kokomi**
I'm sure this picture is important to her.
**[17:42] Kokomi**
I'd like to give it back to her today.
***SIGN*** Flower Arrangement Club
**[17:53] Isuzu**
Haruko, the flowers that you bring us
**[17:56] ---**
are always so lively.
**[18:01] Haruko**
That's because you arrange them
so thoughtfully, Isuzu-chan.
**[18:06] Both**
Hm?
**[18:06] Kokomi**
Excuse me.
**[18:09] Kokomi**
I'm sorry, but is Lemaire-san here?
**[18:12] Isuzu**
She left not too long ago.
**[18:15] Kokomi**
Huh? Where was she going?
**[18:17] Isuzu**
Who knows?
**[18:18] Isuzu**
The library, the courtyard, the athletic field...
**[18:21] Isuzu**
Or maybe the science classroom?
**[18:23] Isuzu**
She never stays in one place long.
**[18:26] Isuzu**
Who knows where she went?
**[18:28] Haruko**
She's always flitting about, like a butterfly.
**[18:32] Kokomi**
I see...
**[18:43] Kokomi**
The library, the gymnasium,
the science classroom...
**[18:47] Kokomi**
She wasn't in any of them...
**[18:57] Kokomi**
Now that I think about it, I didn't eat lunch today.
**[19:12] Chloe**
That's Kokomi-san.
**[19:18] Kokomi**
If I don't see her today,
**[19:20] ---**
maybe I should wait outside
her class early tomorrow.
**[19:24] Chloe**
Octopus hot dogs!
**[19:26] Kokomi**
L-Lemaire-san?!
**[19:28] Chloe**
Japanese lunches are so beautiful.
**[19:33] Chloe**
Could I take a picture?
**[19:35] Kokomi**
G-Go ahead.
**[19:39] Chloe**
Meatballs, baby tomatoes, onigiri...
**[19:42] Chloe**
They're all wonderful.
**[19:45] Chloe**
I love the fried egg, especially.
**[19:48] Kokomi**
W-Would you like some?
**[19:52] Chloe**
Oui! Oui!
**[20:00] Chloe**
It's not sweet!
**[20:02] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[20:03] Chloe**
The fried egg sushi I had was sweet,
**[20:06] Chloe**
but your fried egg isn't.
**[20:10] Kokomi**
I'm sorry.
**[20:11] Kokomi**
You didn't like it?
**[20:13] Chloe**
Non! That's not it!
**[20:15] ---**
It's delicious.
**[20:17] Chloe**
I loved it!
**[20:19] Chloe**
C'est bon!
**[20:20] Kokomi**
I'm glad.
**[20:24] Chloe**
I heard you were looking for me.
**[20:28] Chloe**
Kanata-san, Saya-san, Fumio-san, Isuzu-san...
**[20:32] Chloe**
Lots of people told me.
**[20:34] Chloe**
The walls have ears and the doors have eyes.
**[20:37] Chloe**
And Seiou Academy has Chloe Lemaire!
**[20:42] Kokomi**
Oh, yeah. Actually...
**[20:46] Kokomi**
This is your photo, right?
**[20:49] Chloe**
Oh, my.
**[20:51] Chloe**
Where did you find it?
**[20:53] Kokomi**
In the gymnasium this morning.
**[20:55] Chloe**
Did I drop it?
**[20:58] Chloe**
I didn't even notice.
**[21:01] Chloe**
So, this is why you were searching for me?
**[21:05] Kokomi**
Yes.
**[21:06] Kokomi**
I wanted to give it back
to you as soon as I could.
**[21:13] Kokomi**
L-Lemaire-san?!
**[21:15] Chloe**
Merci, Kokomi-san!
**[21:17] Chloe**
That picture means a lot to me!
**[21:20] Chloe**
I'm sure I would have been
very sad if I had lost it.
**[21:24] Kokomi**
I didn't think you'd be so happy, Lemaire-san...
**[21:28] Chloe**
Non! Call me Chloe.
**[21:31] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[21:32] Chloe**
Lemaire is my last name.
**[21:34] Chloe**
Chloe is my name.
**[21:35] Chloe**
And I'll call you Kokomi.
**[21:40] Kokomi**
Oh...
**[21:41] Kokomi**
Okay,
**[21:42] ---**
Chloe-san.
**[21:44] Chloe**
Oui!
**[21:46] Chloe**
I'd like to thank you.
**[21:48] Chloe**
What would you like?
**[21:50] Chloe**
I'll do whatever you want, Kokomi.
**[21:53] Kokomi**
You don't need to thank me.
**[21:55] Chloe**
Non, non!
**[21:57] Chloe**
I'm going to do something for you!
**[22:00] Kokomi**
Um...
**[22:02] Kokomi**
Um...
**[22:04] Chloe**
Can I not do anything for you?
**[22:08] Kokomi**
Huh? Um, well...
**[22:11] Kokomi**
Can you let me think about it for a little while?
**[22:15] Kokomi**
When I decide on something, I'll ask you.
**[22:18] Chloe**
Of course!
**[22:19] Chloe**
Promise on *harakiri!*
**[22:22] Kokomi**
That's not right, Chloe-san!
**[22:24] Kokomi**
It's *yubikiri* (pinky swear), not *harakiri.*
**[22:27] Chloe**
Tee-hee. I messed up.

**[00:01] M**
Kokomi, time to eat!
**[00:07] M**
Eat up.
**[00:10] Kokomi**
Mom, aren't you making
more food than usual lately?
**[00:14] M**
Your tournament is coming up soon.
**[00:16] M**
You need lots of nourishment.
**[00:18] M**
There's plenty more, so eat up.
**[00:23] Kokomi**
Right.
**[00:41] Kokomi**
I knew it...

**[02:18] Kokomi**
Good morning.
**[02:19] Matsuri**
Good morning, Shiina-san.
**[02:22] Tsugumi**
Morning.
**[02:23] Tsugumi**
Wearing track clothes today?
**[02:24] Kokomi**
Hm? Yeah.
**[02:27] Kokomi**
It's gotten colder out,
**[02:29] Kokomi**
and I don't want to catch a cold
with the tournament coming up.
**[02:32] Tsugumi**
It is cooler,
**[02:34] ---**
but don't you think it feels nice and refreshing?
**[02:39] Matsuri**
Yeah, it really makes you feel like working hard.
**[02:43] Tsugumi**
Hm? What's wrong?
**[02:45] Kokomi**
It's nothing.
***SIGN*** Rhythmic Gymnastics Team
**[02:52] Kokomi**
I can't let such silly things get to me.
**[02:55] Kokomi**
I need to focus on practice.
**[03:01] Akane**
Good morning!
**[03:03] Nao**
Good morning...
**[03:04] Akane**
Huh?
**[03:05] Akane**
Didn't get enough sleep?
**[03:06] Akane**
For a model, staying up all
night is bad for your skin.
**[03:10] Akane**
How many hours did you sleep?
**[03:12] Nao**
About twelve hours?
**[03:15] Nao**
I slept so much, I'm tired...
**[03:18] Akane**
Ah, so that's why.
**[03:32] Tsugumi**
Wow...
**[03:33] Matsuri**
Amazing...
**[03:38] Nao**
An interview?
**[03:39] Akane**
That's right.
**[03:40] Akane**
During today's lunch broadcast,
**[03:42] Akane**
we're supposed to interview the
school's most famous students
**[03:45] Akane**
on the "Attacking the School's Hottest!" segment,
**[03:48] Akane**
but today's guest got sick and can't come.
**[03:51] Akane**
I know it's sudden, but I was
hoping I could ask you, Nao-chan.
**[03:54] Nao**
I'm not famous...
**[03:57] Nao**
I don't know many people, either...
**[04:01] Akane**
What are you saying?
**[04:03] Akane**
You're a model. Lots of
girls would love to do that!
**[04:06] Akane**
I'm sure people would like to hear about you.
**[04:09] Nao**
You really think so?
**[04:11] Akane**
Okay, Miyoshi-san,
**[04:12] Akane**
what would you like to do the most right now?
**[04:15] Nao**
Uh... Go back to sleep?
**[04:18] Akane**
Go back to sleep?
**[04:20] ---**
See?
**[04:21] Tsugumi**
That was awesome!
**[04:24] Tsugumi**
Seriously awesome!
**[04:25] Matsuri**
Your realistic performance really
impressed me, Shiina-san!
**[04:28] Kokomi**
Really?
**[04:30] Tsugumi**
I can tell how pumped you are
for the tournament coming up.
**[04:34] Tsugumi**
Your body looks really well-balanced, too!
**[04:38] Kokomi**
Well-balanced?
**[04:39] Matsuri**
Yeah, it feels like there's so much
weight to your performance.
**[04:43] Kokomi**
Weight...?
**[04:47] Kokomi**
I have to get back to class.
**[04:50] Kokomi**
I'm sorry.
**[04:54] Both**
Huh?
**[04:57] Nao**
Wouldn't Shiina-san be better?
**[05:00] Nao**
For your interview.
**[05:02] Akane**
Shiina-san, huh?
**[05:04] Akane**
It's true that everyone's expecting her
to do well in the next tournament.
**[05:08] Nao**
Well, there you go.
**[05:10] Akane**
Huh? Hey, that's completely beside the point!
**[05:14] Tachibana**
As you can see, by not making the reason
why the teacher killed himself obvious,
**[05:19] Tachibana**
Soseki gives the readers room
to use their imaginations...
**[05:23] Kokomi**
Now that I think about it,
my mom really has been...
**[05:26] (Flashback) M**
I made fried mincemeat cutlets tonight,
**[05:29] (Flashback) M**
so you can *fry* your competition at the tournament!
**[05:31] (Flashback) M**
Get it?
**[05:32] M**
If she sticks with that pun, she'll
be making a lot of fried foods...
**[05:36] M**
They taste good, so I end
up eating them, but still...
**[05:40] M**
And I've had morning practice every day,
**[05:43] M**
so I end up eating too much at lunch.
**[05:47] Tachibana**
So, Shiina-san,
**[05:50] ---**
do you know the proverb that means
"your actions have consequences"
**[05:53] Tachibana**
that would appropriately match this situation?
**[05:56] Kokomi**
Yes.
**[05:57] Kokomi**
"What goes around, comes around."
**[05:59] Tachibana**
That's correct.
**[06:01] Tachibana**
There's also a similar proverb that
says, "You reap what you sow."
**[06:05] Tachibana**
But "what goes around, comes around"
originates with Buddhist teachings,
***SIGN*** What goes around comes around
***SIGN*** You reap
what you sow
**[06:08] Tachibana**
which instruct that your actions,
right and wrong, will be repaid in kind.
**[06:13] Tachibana**
Recently, it's often used to refer to "bad karma."
**[06:17] Tachibana**
Let's turn to the next page.
**[06:21] Kokomi**
I need to go on a diet.
**[06:25] Kokomi**
An interview?
**[06:27] Akane**
That's right.
**[06:28] Akane**
I asked Miyoshi-san from our class,
**[06:31] ---**
but she ran away.
**[06:33] Kokomi**
You mean the Miyoshi-san who's a model, right?
**[06:37] Akane**
Yeah.
**[06:38] Akane**
Then your name came up
**[06:39] Akane**
because the whole school is rooting
for your win in rhythmic gymnastics.
**[06:44] Kokomi**
I see...
**[06:45] Akane**
Please! I'm begging you!
**[06:50] Kokomi**
Sure. I'll do it.
**[06:55] Akane**
Thank you!
**[07:00] Akane**
Sorry.
**[07:01] Kokomi**
N-No, it's okay.
**[07:05] Akane**
It's time for Akane Sakurai's
"Attacking the School's Hottest!"
**[07:08] Akane**
Today's guest is Kokomi Shiina,
**[07:09] Akane**
a second-year student who's
expected to make high marks
**[07:13] ---**
in the upcoming fall rhythmic
gymnastics tournament.
**[07:17] Kokomi**
Hi there.
**[07:18] Kokomi**
Um...
**[07:19] Akane**
Yes?
**[07:20] Kokomi**
I didn't know we'd have such a big audience...
**[07:23] Akane**
That just shows how much they believe in you.
**[07:26] Akane**
Now then, Shiina-san,
**[07:29] ---**
what's your biggest concern right now?
**[07:32] Nao**
Hm?
**[07:33] ---**
Um...
**[07:35] Kokomi**
My wei—
**[07:37] Kokomi**
I-I mean, a way to do well in the tournament!
**[07:41] Akane**
I guess that's why you're
practicing so hard every day.
**[07:45] Akane**
I hear you worked hard this morning, too,
**[07:48] Akane**
but don't you get hungry during class
after practicing all morning?
**[07:52] Kokomi**
I don't!
**[07:53] Akane**
What? Aren't you starving by lunch time?
**[07:58] Kokomi**
N-Not at all...
**[08:01] Akane**
I see...
**[08:02] Akane**
But don't you ever crave your favorite foods?
**[08:06] Akane**
What do you like to eat?
**[08:09] Kokomi**
Melon buns.
**[08:12] Kokomi**
Um, these are the kinds of questions you ask?
**[08:16] Akane**
Yeah, we ask about people's hobbies,
their favorite music, movies...
**[08:20] Akane**
And when we can, their weight
and measurements, too!
**[08:24] Akane**
Just kidding.
**[08:25] Kokomi**
Weight and measurements....
**[08:29] Akane**
Hm? Shiina-san?
**[08:31] Kokomi**
I can't tell you that!
**[08:39] Kokomi**
I-I'm sorry...
**[08:42] Akane**
That was today's guest, Kokomi Shiina-san!
**[08:47] Akane**
Everyone, good luck in your
afternoon clubs and classes!
**[08:52] Akane**
See you. Bye-bye!
**[08:55] Nodoka**
Okay, that's a wrap.
**[08:56] Nodoka**
Good job!
**[08:58] Kokomi**
I'm sorry I wasn't able to help that much.
**[09:02] Akane**
Don't worry.
**[09:03] Akane**
It was pretty interesting, in several ways.
**[09:07] Kokomi**
It was?
**[09:13] ---**
I couldn't see a thing on the chalkboard.
**[09:16] Kokomi**
The tournament's almost here...
**[09:19] Kokomi**
I'm not going to be able to
focus on practice like this.
**[09:23] Kokomi**
I have to do something.

This doesn't seem quite right.
**[09:51] Kokomi**
I wonder if the school library
even has books about dieting...
**[09:57] Fumio**
Are you looking for something?
**[10:00] Kokomi**
Murakami-senpai!
**[10:02] Fumio**
I heard the radio show today.
**[10:04] Fumio**
It was pretty interesting.
**[10:06] Kokomi**
Th-Thank you.
**[10:08] Fumio**
Are you looking for a particular book?
**[10:11] Kokomi**
Oh... Well...
**[10:13] Kokomi**
How should I explain?
**[10:16] Kokomi**
I can't tell her I'm looking for
a book on dieting because
**[10:19] ---**
I've gained some weight and want to lose it...
**[10:23] Fumio**
Are you looking for home ec books?
**[10:26] Kokomi**
No, um...
**[10:27] Kokomi**
More like nutritional science.
**[10:29] Fumio**
Nutritional science?
**[10:31] Fumio**
Are you hoping to become a nutritionist?
**[10:33] Kokomi**
No, how should I put it...
**[10:36] Kokomi**
I'd like to know how the body
can efficiently burn calories...
**[10:43] Fumio**
So, something more scientific?
**[10:46] Fumio**
The science section is over there.
**[10:49] Kokomi**
No, that's not it...
**[10:52] Chloe**
"Burn it up, young people!" Right?
**[10:57] Kokomi**
Chloe-san...
**[10:58] Chloe**
You're burning it up right now, Kokomi-san!
**[11:03] Chloe**
Isn't that right?
**[11:05] Kokomi**
No, that's not really what I'm talking about...
**[11:10] Chloe**
Japanese teens are wonderful.
**[11:13] Chloe**
You really get into clubs and sports.
**[11:15] Chloe**
We don't have that in France.
**[11:19] Chloe**
You're also into anime.
**[11:21] Chloe**
We don't have that in France, either.
***SIGN*** Burn (moe)
**[11:24] Fumio**
I don't think that's what she meant by burning...
***SIGN*** Cute (moe)
**[11:27] Chloe**
It's not?!
***SIGN*** He wall-slammed Yoshiko! I'm so jealous!
**[11:29] Chloe**
But that's why all those blogs
catch on like wildfire, isn't it?
***SIGN*** Screw you!

doesn't get to be jealous!
What the hell?
**[11:36] Kokomi**
This topic is neither here nor there at this point...
**[11:39] Chloe**
What? No, we're right here.
**[11:42] Chloe**
I'm talking about what teens
are into right here and now.
**[11:48] Chloe**
You're only young once, you know, Kokomi-san!
**[11:53] Nao**
You want to go on a diet, right?
**[11:55] Kokomi**
Miyoshi-san.
**[11:57] Chloe**
A diet?
**[11:58] Nao**
I think Shiina-san is looking for a book on diets.
**[12:05] Fumio**
That's why you asked about nutritional science.
**[12:07] Chloe**
You're really into diets, Kokomi-san?
**[12:11] Nao**
Not that...
**[12:14] Nao**
She wants to burn fat more efficiently, so...
**[12:18] Chloe**
Why do Japanese girls all want to go on diets?!
**[12:24] Fumio**
Now, now...
**[12:25] Chloe**
But, why?!
**[12:27] Chloe**
I don't understand.
**[12:29] Fumio**
Now, now...
**[12:30] Nao**
Shiina-san, over here.
**[12:31] ---**
Hmph! Japanese girls just don't understand
the joys of being soft and squishy!
**[12:38] Nao**
This is the school library,
**[12:42] Nao**
so I don't think there are any
decent books on dieting, but...
**[12:46] Nao**
These girls' magazines do have
**[12:49] Nao**
specials on how girls can go about dieting.
**[12:51] Kokomi**
Um...
**[12:52] Nao**
Hm?
**[12:54] Kokomi**
How did you know that
I wanted to go on a diet?
**[12:57] Nao**
Well...
**[12:59] Nao**
The way you talked this morning,
**[13:01] ---**
and during your interview just now,
**[13:03] Nao**
just gave me a hunch.
**[13:05] Nao**
Your conversations with the older
girls just made it sound that way.
**[13:08] Kokomi**
I see.
**[13:11] Nao**
That said, I really envy you.
**[13:14] Kokomi**
Huh? Why?
**[13:17] Nao**
You're able to get along
with girls in other classes,
**[13:19] ---**
and even with upperclassmen.
**[13:22] Nao**
You know, like this morning, and even just now...
**[13:26] Nao**
Harumiya-san is from my class, right?
**[13:28] Nao**
But it looked like you talk
to her more than I do...
**[13:32] Nao**
You also seemed like you were pretty
close with the third-years just now.
**[13:37] Kokomi**
No...
**[13:38] Kokomi**
I don't think I'm really that close to them...
**[13:42] Nao**
You think so?
**[13:43] Nao**
I think you're doing much better than I am.
**[13:47] Nao**
I almost never talk to people
from other classes or grades.
**[13:53] Nao**
I mean, I'm not in any clubs.
**[13:55] Kokomi**
Your modeling work doesn't leave
much time for clubs, does it?
**[13:59] Nao**
Yeah...
**[14:01] Nao**
But, I get to do what I like,
**[14:03] Nao**
so I can't complain.
**[14:09] Nao**
Lunch is over.
**[14:12] Nao**
Let's get going.
**[14:23] Chloe**
I don't understand!
**[14:26] Chloe**
Why do Japanese girls care so much about dieting?
**[14:31] Chloe**
Why do they want to fight against
calories, as if they're the enemy?
**[14:34] Fumio**
I think you're exaggerating a little,
**[14:37] Fumio**
but it might be true that everyone
sometimes focuses on dieting too much.
**[14:42] Chloe**
Japan has the best chicken in the world,
**[14:45] ---**
your fried chicken!
**[14:49] Fumio**
The best chicken in the world?
**[14:52] Chloe**
Oui.
**[14:53] ---**
French people love chicken,
but it puts ours to blame!
**[14:57] Fumio**
That's "puts ours to shame."
**[14:58] Chloe**
But if everyone is afraid of calories,
**[15:02] Chloe**
then making good fried
chicken is futility exercise!
**[15:05] Fumio**
That's "an exercise in futility."
**[15:08] Fumio**
Girls want to go on diets because
that's how girls think.
**[15:13] Fumio**
They want to be prettier if they can.
**[15:16] Chloe**
Kokomi-san is plenty beautiful.
**[15:20] Chloe**
She doesn't need to go on a diet.
**[15:23] Fumio**
That might be true.
**[15:25] Chloe**
It *is* true!
**[15:32] ---**
Girl Friend BETA.
**[15:36] Kokomi**
A diet?
**[15:38] Tsugumi**
Yeah.
**[15:39] Matsuri**
You were worried about going on a diet, right?
**[15:43] Kokomi**
No...
**[15:44] Kokomi**
I don't know what you're talking about...
**[15:52] Kokomi**
I was.
**[15:53] Both**
I knew it!
**[15:54] Kokomi**
I'm sorry...
**[15:56] Kokomi**
I was too embarrassed to say anything.
**[15:58] Tsugumi**
It's nothing to be embarrassed about!
**[16:00] Matsuri**
I know how you feel, though.
**[16:02] Matsuri**
You don't want people to know you're
worried about your weight, right?
**[16:06] Tsugumi**
Well, dieting is a concern that
all girls have in common.
**[16:11] Tsugumi**
I think we should help each other out.
**[16:15] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[16:16] Kokomi**
Then, Kagami-san, Harumiya-san, you're also...
**[16:20] Matsuri**
Actually...
**[16:21] Tsugumi**
That's right.
**[16:22] Tsugumi**
So... Everyone!
**[16:25] Rui**
We're the exercise club for second-years,
the Diet Alliance... I guess?
**[16:29] Tsugumi**
We're fighting hard, too.
**[16:31] Tsugumi**
So you can fight along with us.
**[16:35] Emi**
Hey!
**[16:37] Emi**
Include me, too!
**[16:39] Emi**
You should have just asked us, Kokomi-chan!
**[16:41] Kazuha**
But, Sagara-san,
**[16:42] ---**
you're part of the street
performing society, right?
**[16:45] Emi**
Street performing is a sport, too!
**[16:47] Rino**
I think she just wants to be in the group.
**[16:50] Emi**
Well, that might be true.
**[16:55] R**
Honestly...
**[16:55] R**
Of course you can join.
**[16:56] Kokomi**
Okay!
**[16:58] Kokomi**
Let's all work hard!
**[17:00] All**
Yeah!
**[17:04] Tsugumi**
Hurry up.
**[17:06] Tsugumi**
Let's get going.
**[17:08] Tsugumi**
We're going to leave you behind.
**[17:10] Emi**
Wait for us!
**[17:12] Emi**
I can't keep up!
**[17:22] Akane**
Huh...
**[17:24] Chloe**
I still don't get it.
**[17:26] Chloe**
Japanese culture is confusing...
**[17:29] Fumio**
I don't think you need to
think about it that hard.
**[17:32] R**
23, 24, 25...
**[17:35] ---**
What's going on there?
**[17:37] Fumio**
Huh?
**[17:42] Emi**
I can't do any more...
**[17:44] Rino**
Wasn't street performing
supposed to be a real sport?
**[17:48] Emi**
It is, but you don't really
use your abdominal muscles.
**[17:52] Emi**
Probably.
**[17:53] Kokomi**
Sagara-san, you're almost there.
**[17:56] Kokomi**
Keep it up. Do it for your diet.
**[18:00] Emi**
Yeah...
**[18:02] Emi**
You're right.
**[18:04] Emi**
26...
**[18:06] All**
26...
**[18:08] Fumio**
They're...
**[18:09] Chloe**
I understand now, Fumio-san!
**[18:11] Chloe**
Dieting is proof of your friendship!
**[18:14] Chloe**
This is what being young is all about!
**[18:17] Fumio**
Yeah, I guess so.
**[18:58] Tsugumi**
I'm so tired.
**[19:00] Matsuri**
I've never pushed myself this hard before.
**[19:03] Kokomi**
But it kind of feels good to work
hard with everyone together.
**[19:08] Rui**
Yeah, it's kind of a nice exhaustion.
**[19:11] Emi**
I wonder if I lost any weight.
**[19:13] Rino**
I'm sure you did, after all that.
**[19:18] Akane**
Good work!
**[19:21] Kokomi**
Sakurai-san?
**[19:22] Akane**
The interview was worth it,
since it got the exercise club
**[19:26] ---**
to help you out, Shiina-san!
**[19:28] Akane**
I couldn't be happier!
**[19:31] Kokomi**
What are you talking about?
**[19:32] Akane**
Everyone wanted to help you train for
your upcoming tournament, right?
**[19:37] Kokomi**
Well...
**[19:39] Akane**
Here's a little something
**[19:40] Akane**
that everyone got for you after hearing today's
show and seeing your friendships in action.
**[19:45] Akane**
Here you go!
**[19:47] ---**
Bam!
**[19:52] Akane**
Now, I'm sure you're all
hungry after working out.
**[19:55] Akane**
Go on, eat up.
**[20:06] Kokomi**
I can't eat them...
**[20:07] Kokomi**
I can't eat them, I can't eat them...
**[20:19] Kokomi**
They're so good...
**[20:20] Matsuri**
I can't stop...
**[20:22] Akane**
How are they, Shiina-san?
**[20:23] Kokomi**
They're good...
**[20:25] Akane**
I see!
**[20:26] Akane**
So good, it makes you cry, huh?
**[20:28] Akane**
I'm so glad.
**[20:30] Akane**
There's plenty more, so eat up.
**[20:36] Nao**
Shiina-san.
**[20:38] Nao**
How's your diet going?
**[20:41] Kokomi**
Not well.
**[20:43] Nao**
I... I see.
**[20:47] ---**
I understand.
**[20:49] Nao**
So that's why it's not going well.
**[20:52] Kokomi**
Yeah.
**[20:52] Nao**
But maybe that's to be expected.
**[20:55] Kokomi**
Huh? Why?
**[20:57] Nao**
When you put on more muscle,
**[20:58] Nao**
of course your weight goes up.
**[21:01] Nao**
Muscle weighs three times as much as fat.
**[21:04] Kokomi**
Oh...
**[21:06] Nao**
Instead of putting on muscle,
**[21:08] Nao**
you'll need to make your body more flexible.
**[21:12] Kokomi**
Um, have you gone on
a diet before, Miyoshi-san?
**[21:17] Nao**
No,
**[21:18] Nao**
but I have to watch my figure
**[21:21] ---**
and weight without overdoing it.
**[21:25] Kokomi**
I see.
**[21:26] Kokomi**
You're a model, after all.
**[21:29] Nao**
Anyway, you can't put on too much muscle.
**[21:32] Nao**
To keep your proportions,
you need to build up your core.
**[21:37] Kokomi**
Okay.
**[21:38] Nao**
You should also try aerobic
exercise and half-body baths.
**[21:42] Nao**
You can't just starve yourself, either.
**[21:45] Nao**
You need have balanced meals,
**[21:47] Nao**
and make sure you don't get too many carbs.
**[21:53] Kokomi**
I had too many melon buns...
**[21:55] Nao**
If you can do that, you'll be fine.
**[21:59] Nao**
Good luck.
**[22:01] Kokomi**
Oh, um...
**[22:03] Nao**
What is it?
**[22:04] Kokomi**
Will you help me with my diet?
**[22:08] Kokomi**
If you'll teach me how to diet properly,
I'll feel more at ease,
**[22:12] Kokomi**
and I'll be able to focus on my tournament.
**[22:15] Kokomi**
Please?
**[22:18] Nao**
Sure.
**[22:39] Tsugumi**
Shiina-san, I heard you got past the prelims!
**[22:42] Matsuri**
Congratulations!
**[22:44] Kokomi**
Thank you.
**[22:45] Rino**
And your diet went well, too, right?
**[22:48] All**
What?!
**[22:50] Kokomi**
It's all thanks to Miyoshi-san's advice.
**[22:52] Kokomi**
I was able to focus on the
tournament because of her.
**[22:55] Tsugumi**
Way to go!
**[22:57] Nao**
Good morning...
**[22:59] Kokomi**
Good morning!
**[23:04] Nao**
What is it?
**[23:06] ---**
Please, Miyoshi-san!
**[23:08] Matsuri**
Please teach me how to diet properly, too!
**[23:12] Tsugumi**
Me, too!
**[23:14] Emi**
Same for me!
**[23:16] Rino**
I think we could all benefit from this.
**[23:18] R**
So teach me, too!
**[23:20] ---**
Eh? H-Huh?
**[23:23] Erena**
You're Nao-chan, right?
**[23:26] Erena**
You're really pretty.
**[23:27] Erena**
Could you teach me how to diet, too?
**[23:31] Nao**
Huh? Why did you...
**[23:34] Chloe**
It's so wonderful how diets
bring people together!
**[23:38] Chloe**
Scales grew on my eyes!
**[23:40] Erena**
Help me diet,
**[23:42] Erena**
and let me take some pictures
of you while we're at it!
**[23:46] Chloe**
Erena-san, you're trying
to take advantage of her.
**[23:49] Erena**
Oh, you figured me out?
**[23:51] Matsuri**
Miyoshi-san, please!
**[23:53] Tsugumi**
Please!
**[23:56] Nao**
Okay.
**[23:57] Nao**
Let's all work together.
**[23:59] ---**
All right!
**[24:00] R**
Yay!

Erena Mochizuki here.
**[24:12] Erena**
My hobby is photography.
**[24:15] Kokomi**
You're trying to do something bad again...
**[24:16] Erena**
Of course not!
**[24:18] Kokomi**
You've done it before, Mochizuki-san.

**[00:10] Mahiro**
Murakami-senpai, what's wrong?
**[00:14] Fumio**
This is Mochizuki-san's favorite photographer.
**[00:19] Fumio**
I wonder if she already has this.
**[00:23] Mahiro**
It really is a mystery.
**[00:25] Fumio**
Huh?
**[00:26] Mahiro**
Aren't you and Mochizuki-senpai
**[00:29] ---**
complete opposites?
**[00:32] Mahiro**
I've always found it mysterious
that you two are so close.
**[00:37] Chloe**
I've been wondering the same thing!
**[00:40] Mahiro**
They could end up being like water and oil.
**[00:43] Chloe**
Or playing like cats and dogs! How weird!
**[00:47] Mahiro**
Chloe-san, the saying is
"fighting like cats and dogs."
**[00:51] Chloe**
Everyone makes mistakes!
**[00:55] Fumio**
I suppose it might seem strange to others, though.
**[01:00] Fumio**
Knowing the sort of person Mochizuki-san is...
**[01:06] Erena**
The sweat rolling off her body...
**[01:07] Erena**
The sparkle of youth...
**[01:09] Erena**
Tantalizing!
**[01:11] Erena**
Absolutely tantalizing!
**[01:15] Kokomi**
Oh, Mochizuki-senpai.
**[01:18] Erena**
Hey there, Kokomi-chan.
**[01:20] Erena**
How's it going?
**[01:21] Kokomi**
Thanks for asking. My performance
is getting a lot more consistent.
**[01:25] Erena**
I'm going to shoot the tournament, too,
**[01:27] ---**
so do your best.
**[01:29] Kokomi**
R-Right!
**[01:31] Erena**
Oh!
**[01:32] ---**
Cosmos.
**[01:34] Erena**
It must be fall.
**[01:36] Erena**
I think I'll take some to Fumio-chan.
**[01:38] Kokomi**
To Murakami-senpai?
**[01:40] Erena**
Yeah, Fumio-chan likes pressed flowers.
**[01:45] Erena**
Not really surprising, huh?
**[01:48] Erena**
Hm?
**[01:49] Erena**
Is there something on my face?
**[01:51] Kokomi**
No, I'm just a little surprised that
**[01:55] Kokomi**
you and Murakami-senpai are friends.
**[01:58] Erena**
We get that a lot.
**[02:00] Kokomi**
When did you two become friends?
**[02:03] Erena**
The day our fated meeting
took place was... Oh, yes.
**[02:08] Erena**
It was just a little while after
we started at this school...
***SIGN*** Cameras and Shortcake

The next stop is Yomikiri Land
**[04:02] Erena**
*It's June already...*
**[04:05] Erena**
*I need to start giving serious thought*
**[04:08] Erena**
* to what I'm going to submit*
* for the photo contest.*
**[04:13] (Flashback) M**
There, there.
**[04:17] (Flashback) ---**
Excuse me...
**[04:18] (Flashback) Fumio**
You can sit here if you'd like.
**[04:21] (Flashback) M**
Sorry about that.
**[04:22] (Flashback) M**
Thank you.
**[04:25] (Flashback) M**
There, there.
**[04:27] Erena**
* It takes more courage than you'd think*
* to do something nice like that.*
**[04:32] ---**
*Oh...*
**[04:36] (Flashback) Erena**
Did you drop this?
**[04:42] (Flashback) M**
Now, don't do that.
**[04:44] (Flashback) Fumio**
It's all right.
**[04:49] ---**
The next stop is Shinkikyougaoka
**[04:56] Erena**
* Now that I get a good look*
* at her, she's really pretty.*
**[05:04] Erena**
*Nice...*
**[05:05] Erena**
*So nice...*
***SIGN*** Super cute!!
**[05:11] (Flashback) Erena**
Fumio Murakami-chan?
**[05:13] (Flashback) Saya**
Yeah.
**[05:14] (Flashback) Saya**
She's a first-year like us,
**[05:16] (Flashback) Saya**
and on the library committee.
**[05:17] (Flashback) Erena**
I can't believe I didn't have a girl
as cute as her on my radar.
**[05:23] (Flashback) Erena**
Okay!
**[05:23] (Flashback) Erena**
Now that I know who she is,
**[05:24] (Flashback) Erena**
I'm going to ask her to model for me!
**[05:27] (Flashback) All**
Model?
**[05:28] (Flashback) Erena**
Yeah! I'm going to ask her to model for
the photo contest I'm going to enter.
**[05:33] (Flashback) Koruri**
I think that might be a little difficult.
**[05:36] (Flashback) Erena**
Huh? Why?
**[05:38] (Flashback) Remi**
She's always reading by herself during breaks...
**[05:41] (Flashback) Remi**
She's kind of hard to approach.
**[05:44] (Flashback) Saya**
Her hobbies are reading and pressed flowers,
**[05:47] (Flashback) Saya**
and she's introverted and doesn't
say much, according to my sources.
**[05:50] (Flashback) Koruri**
In the past, she was asked to model for
**[05:54] (Flashback) Koruri**
the arts and crafts club, but she ran away.
**[05:56] (Flashback) Erena**
Really?
***SIGN*** Super cute!!
**[06:02] (Flashback) Erena**
She sounds great!
**[06:04] (Flashback) Erena**
She's a cool and mysterious beauty!
**[06:07] (Flashback) Erena**
I'm totally motivated now!
**[06:11] (Flashback) Erena**
Sneak, sneak.
**[06:13] (Flashback) Erena**
Sneak, sneak!
**[06:17] (Flashback) Erena**
Did I surprise you,
**[06:19] (Flashback) Erena**
Fumio Murakami-chan?
**[06:21] (Flashback) Erena**
I'm Erena Mochizuki from the photography club.
**[06:23] (Flashback) Erena**
Nice to meet you!
**[06:25] (Flashback) Fumio**
Oh, from this morning...
**[06:27] (Flashback) Erena**
Huh? You remember me?
**[06:29] (Flashback) Fumio**
Yes. And, um...
**[06:31] (Flashback) Fumio**
I forgot to thank you for this morning.
**[06:35] (Flashback) Erena**
Huh?
**[06:36] (Flashback) Fumio**
Thank you for picking up my bookmark.
**[06:40] (Flashback) Erena**
You were worried about that?
**[06:45] Erena**
*I totally want to take this girl's picture!*
**[06:48] (Flashback) Erena**
You're great, Fumio-chan! You're great!
**[06:51] (Flashback) Fumio**
U-Uh...
**[06:53] (Flashback) Erena**
Fumio-chan, I have a favor to ask you!
**[06:55] (Flashback) Erena**
Will you be the model for a photo
I'm entering in a contest?
**[07:01] (Flashback) Fumio**
Model?
**[07:02] (Flashback) Erena**
I know I'll be able to take some
great pictures if you're my model!
**[07:07] (Flashback) Fumio**
No, I couldn't...
**[07:09] (Flashback) Erena**
Leave it to me.
**[07:10] (Flashback) Erena**
I'll take such pretty photos
of you, you'll be shocked!
**[07:13] (Flashback) Erena**
Look forward to it!
**[07:14] (Flashback) Fumio**
No, but...
**[07:18] (Flashback) Erena**
I can see it...
**[07:19] (Flashback) Erena**
I can see it!
**[07:21] (Flashback) Erena**
I see the greatest pose!
**[07:24] (Flashback) Fumio**
I haven't said anything yet...
**[07:35] (Flashback) Erena**
Fumio-chan, good morning.
**[07:43] (Flashback) Erena**
Fumio-chan.
**[07:46] (Flashback) Erena**
Fumio-chan!
**[07:49] (Flashback) Erena**
Snap!
**[07:54] (Flashback) Erena**
Fumio-chan!
**[07:56] (Flashback) Erena**
Got it.
**[08:06] Fumio**
*I should have turned her down,*
**[08:09] Fumio**
*but I just got caught up in her rhythm.*
**[08:11] Fumio**
* Mochizuki-san seems like*
* she's having so much fun...*
**[08:19] (Flashback) Fumio**
Mochizuki-san?
**[08:21] (Flashback) Erena**
A young girl bathed in the light of sunset...
**[08:25] (Flashback) Erena**
It makes the perfect picture!
**[08:28] (Flashback) Fumio**
Right...
**[08:31] (Flashback) Erena**
I'm so happy I get to go
home with you, Fumio-chan.
**[08:39] (Flashback) Erena**
Come to think of it, you're by
yourself a lot, aren't you?
**[08:43] (Flashback) Fumio**
Huh?
**[08:43] (Flashback) Erena**
Well, I appreciate that since
it makes it easier for me
**[08:46] (Flashback) Erena**
to get the perfect picture, but...
**[08:49] (Flashback) Erena**
Are you not into hanging out with other girls?
**[08:53] (Flashback) Fumio**
Well, it's not that I like being alone, exactly.
**[08:56] (Flashback) Fumio**
I just end up getting absorbed in my books...
**[08:59] (Flashback) Erena**
I see.
**[09:07] (Flashback) Erena**
Fumio-chan!
**[09:11] (Flashback) Erena**
Aw, so close!
**[09:12] (Flashback) Erena**
That was a great expression just now.
**[09:15] (Flashback) Fumio**
I-I'm sorry.
**[09:18] (Flashback) Erena**
I'd like to capture you with a more natural smile,
**[09:22] (Flashback) Erena**
but I'm just not that great at this yet.
**[09:30] Fumio**
*I still couldn't tell her today...*
**[09:43] (Flashback) Erena**
*I'd like to capture you with a more natural smile...*
**[09:51] (Flashback) Fumio**
I have to refuse Mochizuki-san tomorrow for sure.
**[09:59] (Flashback) ---**
Ready!
**[10:00] (Flashback) ---**
Fight! Oh! Fight! Oh!
**[10:02] (Flashback) Erena**
That's great! That's great, Fumio-chan!
**[10:05] (Flashback) Erena**
That's a great expression!
**[10:11] (Flashback) Fumio**
Um... Mochizuki-san.
**[10:13] (Flashback) Erena**
Isn't this shot nice?
**[10:16] (Flashback) Erena**
Hey, what do you think?
**[10:18] (Flashback) Erena**
I really like this one.
**[10:22] (Flashback) Erena**
I'm going to take one at this angle next time.
**[10:25] (Flashback) Fumio**
Mochizuki-san.
**[10:26] (Flashback) Erena**
Yes?
**[10:28] (Flashback) Fumio**
You're going to disturb other people,
**[10:30] (Flashback) Fumio**
so please keep quiet in the library.
**[10:33] (Flashback) Erena**
Sorry about that.
**[10:34] (Flashback) Erena**
But, look! Isn't this picture really cute?
**[10:38] (Flashback) Erena**
Look, look...
**[10:41] (Flashback) Fumio**
I'm sor—
**[10:41] (Flashback) Erena**
That was mean.
**[10:43] (Flashback) Erena**
There was no reason to hit me.
**[10:49] (Flashback) Fumio**
Please stop.
**[10:51] (Flashback) Erena**
Huh?
**[10:52] (Flashback) Fumio**
Please stop taking pictures.
**[10:54] (Flashback) Erena**
Okay.
**[10:55] (Flashback) Erena**
I won't take any more pictures in the library.
**[10:59] (Flashback) Erena**
How about taking pictures at your house?
**[11:02] (Flashback) Erena**
I could get a shot of you relaxing in your room.
**[11:05] (Flashback) Erena**
I'd also get to meet your mom.
**[11:10] (Flashback) Fumio**
That's not what I meant.
**[11:12] (Flashback) Fumio**
I've been wanting to tell you...
**[11:15] (Flashback) Erena**
Huh?
**[11:17] (Flashback) Fumio**
I can't be your model.
**[11:26] (Flashback) Erena**
I see.
**[11:27] (Flashback) Erena**
You didn't want to be my model...
**[11:30] (Flashback) Fumio**
No, it's not that I didn't want—
**[11:32] (Flashback) Erena**
I thought maybe you were enjoying it.
**[11:38] (Flashback) Erena**
I guess I wasn't getting anywhere after all.
**[11:54] Fumio**
*I didn't mean to say it like that...*
**[11:58] (Flashback) Erena**
Wait! Wait!
**[12:00] (Flashback) Erena**
Let me in.
**[12:01] (Flashback) Saeko**
You're soaking wet.
**[12:03] (Flashback) Chidzuru**
You're going to catch a cold.
**[12:04] (Flashback) Erena**
I forgot my umbrella.
**[12:06] (Flashback) Saeko**
That's just like you, Mochizuki-chan.
**[12:16] (Flashback) Fumio**
I'll see you later.
***SIGN*** Shinkikyougaoka Summerfest
***SIGN*** Photography Contest
***SIGN*** Mom
***SIGN*** You forgot your lunch. That's unusual for you.
**[12:39] Fumio**
*I couldn't tell Mochizuki-san what I really wanted to.*
**[12:45] Fumio**
*But it'd be better for her*
**[12:47] ---**
*to get a good picture for her contest.*
**[12:50] (Flashback) Erena**
The chocolate at that shop is really good.
**[12:57] Fumio**
*I'm sure Mochizuki-san*
**[13:00] Fumio**
*will be fine.*
**[13:11] (Flashback) Shinobu**
Hey, Murakami-san's in the cafeteria.
**[13:14] (Flashback) Shinobu**
You're not going to take pictures of her?
**[13:16] (Flashback) Erena**
Huh? The cafeteria?
**[13:18] (Flashback) Remi**
Yeah.
**[13:19] (Flashback) ---**
It's unusual to see her there.
**[13:23] Erena**
*Is she trying to avoid me?*
**[13:28] (Flashback) Chidzuru**
What are you sighing for?
**[13:31] (Flashback) Erena**
Well, I was rejected.
**[13:34] (Flashback) ---**
What?
**[13:34] (Flashback) Remi**
You were in love?
**[13:35] (Flashback) Saeko**
Rejected by who?
**[13:37] (Flashback) Erena**
Fumio-chan...
**[13:39] (Flashback) All**
What?!
**[13:40] (Flashback) Erena**
She told me she couldn't be my model.
**[13:43] (Flashback) Chidzuru**
Oh, that's what you meant.
**[13:46] (Flashback) Erena**
I thought we'd gotten to be good friends,
**[13:49] (Flashback) Erena**
but I think she might hate me now...
**[13:51] (Flashback) ---**
Maybe it can't be helped.
**[13:53] (Flashback) Shinobu**
I don't think Murakami-san's
really cut out to be a model.
**[13:56] (Flashback) Remi**
Yeah, she's quiet and not very expressive.
**[14:00] (Flashback) Erena**
Huh?
**[14:01] (Flashback) Saeko**
I bet she wanted to turn you down,
**[14:02] (Flashback) Saeko**
but couldn't bring herself to say it.
**[14:05] (Flashback) Erena**
You think so?
**[14:09] (Flashback) Shinobu**
So you'll have to start looking
for a replacement model, huh?
**[14:13] (Flashback) Erena**
Yeah.
**[14:14] (Flashback) Remi**
If there's anyone you're
interested in, I'll introduce you.
**[14:18] (Flashback) Erena**
Okay...
**[14:22] Fumio**
*This is for the best, isn't it?*
**[14:27] (Flashback) Erena**
But I'll have to decline.
**[14:30] (Flashback) Remi**
Huh?
**[14:31] (Flashback) Erena**
Fumio-chan was the one who really
inspired me to take pictures.
**[14:35] (Flashback) Erena**
So I can't switch to another girl just like that.
**[14:45] (Flashback) Erena**
Fumio-chan...
**[14:52] (Flashback) Erena**
So you were on duty today?
**[14:54] (Flashback) Fumio**
Yeah, I have Wednesday and Friday.
**[14:57] (Flashback) Erena**
I see.
**[15:04] (Flashback) Fumio**
Sorry about before.
**[15:07] (Flashback) Erena**
Huh?
**[15:08] (Flashback) ---**
I mean...
**[15:09] (Flashback) Fumio**
When I hit your camera.
**[15:11] (Flashback) Fumio**
I didn't mean to...
**[15:13] (Flashback) Erena**
Don't worry.
**[15:15] (Flashback) Erena**
It won't break from something like that.
**[15:18] (Flashback) Fumio**
Really?
**[15:19] (Flashback) Fumio**
I'm glad.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Erena**
You really never change, do you, Fumio-chan?
**[15:24] (Flashback) Fumio**
Huh?
**[15:25] (Flashback) Erena**
That reminded me of when we first met.
**[15:28] (Flashback) Erena**
You know, when you went out of your
way to thank me, even after the fact.
**[15:33] (Flashback) Fumio**
Oh, yeah.
**[15:36] (Flashback) Erena**
Thank you for today.
**[15:37] (Flashback) Erena**
I need to head to the photo studio,
**[15:41] (Flashback) Erena**
so I'll see you later.
**[15:42] (Flashback) Fumio**
Um...
**[15:43] (Flashback) Erena**
Hm?
**[15:44] (Flashback) Fumio**
I hope you find a model.
**[15:47] (Flashback) Erena**
Huh?
**[15:48] (Flashback) Fumio**
I know it's weird for me to say that, but...
**[15:52] (Flashback) Erena**
Actually, I was thinking of quitting this time.
**[15:55] (Flashback) Fumio**
Huh?
**[15:56] (Flashback) Erena**
I don't mean it that way.
**[15:58] (Flashback) Erena**
I wasn't really ready for it in the first place.
**[16:00] (Flashback) Erena**
There'll be other contests, anyway.
**[16:03] (Flashback) Erena**
See you next week.
**[16:15] Fumio**
*Should I really just leave things like this?*
**[16:19] Erena**
*I was thinking of quitting this time.*
**[16:32] Erena**
*Is this really...*

Never mind, just have a seat.
**[17:03] (Flashback) Erena**
The cakes here look really good.

Want to get something to

I'll pay today.

Huh? But...

Do you not like cake, Fumio-chan?

No...

Mochizuki-san, I...
**[17:26] (Flashback) Erena**
You've decided?
**[17:29] (Flashback) Fumio**
I'll have the strawberry shortcake.
**[17:32] (Flashback) Erena**
Excuse me, could we get a strawberry
shortcake and a gâteau au chocolat?
**[17:38] (Flashback) R**
Okay!
**[17:40] (Flashback) Erena**
I did it again...
**[17:42] (Flashback) Erena**
I made you order cake, didn't I?
**[17:45] (Flashback) Erena**
I know I need to fix that habit...
**[17:48] (Flashback) Erena**
The moment I think something sounds
good, I just push ahead with it.
**[17:58] (Flashback) Erena**
I'm sorry for forcing you to model
**[18:00] (Flashback) Erena**
without realizing you
didn't really want to do it!
**[18:03] (Flashback) Fumio**
Huh?
**[18:05] (Flashback) Erena**
I never properly apologized...
**[18:09] (Flashback) Nonoka**
Thank you for waiting.
**[18:11] (Flashback) Nonoka**
Here's your strawberry shortcake
and gâteau au chocolat.
**[18:15] (Flashback) Erena**
Hey, are you Sasahara-san from Class D?
**[18:19] (Flashback) Nonoka**
Yes?
**[18:19] (Flashback) Erena**
I'm Erena Mochizuki from Class C.
**[18:22] (Flashback) Nonoka**
Oh!
**[18:23] (Flashback) Erena**
You work here part-time?
**[18:25] (Flashback) Nonoka**
Yeah.
**[18:26] (Flashback) Nonoka**
My grandpa owns this shop.
**[18:28] (Flashback) Erena**
That sounds nice.
**[18:29] (Flashback) Erena**
Do you get to eat all the cake you want?
**[18:31] (Flashback) Nonoka**
He takes it out of my pay.
**[18:34] (Flashback) Erena**
I see!
**[18:36] (Flashback) Nonoka**
Enjoy.
**[18:38] (Flashback) Erena**
Thank you.
**[18:40] (Flashback) Erena**
Well, let's eat.
**[18:41] (Flashback) Erena**
It'll get cold if we don't eat it now.
**[18:44] (Flashback) Erena**
Wait. I guess cakes don't get cold...
**[18:47] (Flashback) Fumio**
You're amazing, Mochizuki-san.
**[18:50] (Flashback) Erena**
Huh?
**[18:51] (Flashback) Fumio**
You can say what's on your mind,
and you act on your thoughts.
**[18:55] (Flashback) Fumio**
I always just sit and think to myself.
**[18:59] (Flashback) Erena**
You're amazing yourself, Fumio-chan.
**[19:02] (Flashback) Fumio**
Huh?
**[19:03] (Flashback) Erena**
I'm digging in.
**[19:12] (Flashback) Fumio**
I will, too.
**[19:17] (Flashback) Fumio**
This is good!
**[19:21] (Flashback) Erena**
I had you come today because
I wanted to ask you a favor.
**[19:26] (Flashback) Fumio**
A favor?
**[19:28] (Flashback) Erena**
Please let me take your picture!
**[19:31] (Flashback) Fumio**
But...
**[19:32] (Flashback) Erena**
It has nothing to do with the contest.
**[19:34] (Flashback) Erena**
I just want to take your picture, Fumio-chan!
**[19:37] (Flashback) Fumio**
You're going to give up on the contest?
**[19:40] (Flashback) Erena**
That's not it, really.
**[19:43] (Flashback) Erena**
There's no point in submitting
a photo I'm not happy with.
**[19:47] (Flashback) Erena**
I photograph what I want to.
**[19:49] (Flashback) Erena**
And right now, that's you, Fumio-chan.
**[19:53] (Flashback) Fumio**
Why me?
**[19:56] (Flashback) Erena**
You said just now that all you
do is think to yourself, right?
**[20:01] (Flashback) Fumio**
Yeah.
**[20:02] (Flashback) Erena**
I don't think that's true at all.
**[20:05] (Flashback) Erena**
It might take some time,
**[20:07] (Flashback) Erena**
but if something's important
to you, you'll tell me, right?
**[20:11] (Flashback) Erena**
I love that about you.
**[20:15] (Flashback) Fumio**
That isn't true.
**[20:17] (Flashback) Fumio**
There's something I haven't told you...
**[20:21] (Flashback) Erena**
What is it?
**[20:22] (Flashback) Fumio**
I think you've misunderstood my reason
**[20:25] (Flashback) Fumio**
for not wanting to be your model.
**[20:30] (Flashback) Fumio**
It's not that I don't want
you to take my picture,
**[20:32] (Flashback) Fumio**
or that I think you forced me to do it.
**[20:35] (Flashback) Fumio**
I just don't think I can be of any help to you.
**[20:39] (Flashback) Erena**
Why?
**[20:41] (Flashback) Fumio**
I'm not good at smiling happily, posing,
**[20:44] (Flashback) Fumio**
or expressing my emotions...
**[20:47] (Flashback) Fumio**
You'd get a better picture
**[20:49] (Flashback) Fumio**
if you got someone who can deal with
being in front people to be your model.
**[20:55] (Flashback) Fumio**
That's why...
**[20:57] (Flashback) Erena**
So that was it?
**[21:02] (Flashback) Erena**
What makes a good picture?
**[21:05] (Flashback) Erena**
I'm still trying to figure that out.
**[21:08] (Flashback) Erena**
But...
**[21:10] (Flashback) Erena**
Look at this.
**[21:15] (Flashback) Erena**
That's a good picture, don't you think?
**[21:18] (Flashback) Fumio**
So this is how I look when I smile...
**[21:21] (Flashback) Erena**
You like shortcake, huh?
**[21:24] (Flashback) Fumio**
Yeah.
**[21:25] (Flashback) Erena**
Fumio-chan, you have lots
of different expressions.
**[21:29] (Flashback) Erena**
I'm sure there are plenty of wonderful things
about yourself you haven't noticed.
**[21:33] (Flashback) Erena**
I get really excited when I'm taking your picture,
**[21:35] (Flashback) Erena**
and I want everyone to know how great you are.
**[21:40] (Flashback) Erena**
I might not be the best photographer,
**[21:42] (Flashback) Erena**
but I want to take a picture of *you,*
**[21:44] (Flashback) Erena**
one where you're being yourself,
and not faking anything.
**[21:48] (Flashback) Fumio**
Mochizuki-san, you've really been
watching me closely, huh?
**[21:51] (Flashback) Erena**
It was unrequited love at first sight.
**[21:54] (Flashback) Erena**
I watch you every chance I get.
**[21:59] (Flashback) Fumio**
Can you still make the contest?
**[22:02] (Flashback) Erena**
Huh?
**[22:07] (Flashback) Erena**
Of course!
**[22:12] (Flashback) 1**
Did you know there was a

Huh?

Are you not feeling well?

No, that's not it...

Huh? She smells good.
**[00:58] Akane**
Is that flowers?
**[01:02] Akane**
Did you just meow?
**[01:04] Isuzu**
You actually think I would meow?
**[01:06] Akane**
Yeah, I guess you wouldn't.
**[01:09] Isuzu**
The ones meowing are these guys.
**[01:14] Akane**
They're so cute!
**[01:16] Akane**
I wonder if they were abandoned...
**[01:22] Akane**
I'd love to take them in,
**[01:24] Akane**
but my apartment doesn't allow pets.
**[01:27] Isuzu**
I can't, either.
**[01:30] Akane**
I know!
**[01:31] Akane**
I have a good idea.

They're kittens.
**[03:48] Youko**
I know that.
**[03:50] ---**
I'm asking why you brought them to school.
**[03:54] Akane**
I wanted to see if there was
anyone who'd take them...
**[03:58] Youko**
And you think that justifies bringing cats to school?
**[04:01] Akane**
I'm sorry...
**[04:04] Youko**
Well, no helping it now.
**[04:05] Youko**
I'll keep them in the faculty room for today.
**[04:08] Youko**
I'll ask the teachers, too,

**[04:34] Yukie**
Sorry, but I can't take one.

I want one, too, but...
**[04:38] Kazuha**
And there are five of them...
**[04:40] Akane**

**[04:43] Akane**
Hi! It's time for today's lunch broadcast.
**[04:47] Akane**
I'm your announcer, Akane
Sakurai from Class 2-C, as usual.
**[04:52] Akane**
Our guests today are...
**[04:55] Akane**
Five kittens!
**[04:58] ---**
Here they are!
**[05:00] Nodoka**
They're all so cute.
**[05:03] Akane**
We're currently looking for people
**[05:05] Akane**
who'd be interested in taking these kittens in,
**[05:07] Akane**
whether it's just one or all five.
**[05:10] Akane**
If there's anyone who'd like a kitten,
**[05:12] Akane**
please come to the broadcast room.
**[05:15] Akane**
Thank you, everyone!
**[05:23] Nodoka**
There are exactly five of you.
**[05:25] Akane**
Niigaki-san from Class A...
**[05:27] Hina**
Yep!
**[05:29] Akane**
And Sagara-san from Class B, right?
**[05:31] Emi**
That's right!
**[05:33] Akane**
Yukie-chan and Nao-chan.
**[05:35] Akane**
Kazuha-chan, too!
**[05:36] Yukie**
I figured I wouldn't mind taking care of one.
**[05:39] Kazuha**
I've always wanted a cat!
**[05:41] Nao**
Me, too.
**[05:42] Nao**
I dressed up as a cat once, for a shoot.
**[05:48] Yukie**
I don't think that really counts
as a reason to get a cat.
**[05:51] Nao**
What's wrong with it?
**[05:53] Akane**
Yeah!
**[05:54] Akane**
Thank you all for coming.
**[05:56] Akane**
Come and get them after school, okay?
**[05:58] Youko**
Hold it!
**[06:00] Akane**
Tsukishiro-sensei!
**[06:02] Youko**
Have you all gotten your parents' permission?
**[06:05] Youko**
When you take a life into your home,
**[06:07] Youko**
you become responsible for that life.
**[06:10] Youko**
You can't just get rid of it anytime.
**[06:12] Youko**
You need to think carefully about
whether you're able to care for it,
**[06:16] Youko**
and talk the decision over with your parents.
**[06:19] Youko**
I have a friend in a veterinary hospital
who has agreed to care for them
**[06:24] Youko**
until we find responsible owners for them.
**[06:27] Akane**
Sensei, thank you.
**[06:31] Akane**
Okay, everyone,
**[06:32] Akane**
could you all talk it over with your parents first?
**[06:35] Akane**
If they agree to it, let me know.
**[06:39] Kazuha**
Got it.
**[06:39] Hina**
I'll ask them.
**[06:41] Yukie**
Yeah, we should ask first.
**[06:42] Nao**
Yeah.
**[06:43] Akane**
Right.
**[06:44] Akane**
Thanks.
**[06:55] Akane**
So, Shiranui-san was worried about them...
**[07:10] Akane**
Your parents said no?
**[07:12] Kazuha**
No, but they put a condition on it.
**[07:16] Akane**
A condition?
**[07:17] Kazuha**
They said I can have one if I score
**[07:19] Kazuha**
higher than average in all subjects on my midterms.
**[07:23] Nao**
My parents said something similar.
**[07:26] Akane**
What?
**[07:27] Nao**
Well, you know I work as a model...
**[07:32] Nao**
So they say I'm already neglecting my studies.
**[07:37] Kazuha**
And I'm busy with judo every day, too.
**[07:43] Yukie**
So, basically,
**[07:44] Yukie**
these two girls are so busy
with their clubs and jobs
**[07:47] Yukie**
that they don't have time to study,
so they always score lower than average.
**[07:52] Yukie**
So, if they want a cat,
they have to raise their grades.
**[07:57] Akane**
Well... I guess I'll look for other people, then.
**[08:02] Yukie**
I think that would be wise,
**[08:03] Yukie**
considering that Kumada-san and Miyoshi-san have
**[08:07] Yukie**
the worst, lowest, lousiest
grades in the whole school.
***SIGN*** Worst
***SIGN*** Lowest
***SIGN*** Lousiest
**[08:11] Nao**
They're not that bad!
**[08:13] Kazuha**
Yeah!
**[08:14] ---**
Mine aren't the absolute worst!
**[08:17] Yukie**
My parents said yes,
**[08:19] Yukie**
but I can only keep one.
**[08:21] Yukie**
If Niigaki-san and Sagara-san both take two,
**[08:24] Yukie**
we shouldn't have a problem, but...
**[08:26] Kazuha**
So, the class rep gets one...
**[08:29] Kazuha**
Niigaki-san and Sagara-san get two...
**[08:33] Kazuha**
That makes five.
**[08:35] Yukie**
You had to count on your fingers to get that?
**[08:40] Hina**
Actually, my parents said the same
**[08:42] Hina**
about getting better scores on my midterms...
**[08:44] Emi**
And if I did better, I could have one...
**[08:48] Akane**
Why was everyone given the same condition?
**[08:51] ---**
It can't be helped.
**[08:54] Yukie**
Midterms are close, you know.
**[08:57] Yukie**
How about asking everyone
during your radio show again?
**[09:01] Akane**
Yeah...
***SIGN*** Broadcast Room
**[09:06] Akane**
So I was thinking of asking everyone again.
**[09:09] Kazuha**
Akane-chan!
**[09:14] Kazuha**
We want the cats, after all!
**[09:17] Nao**
We'll be responsible and take care of them!
**[09:19] Hina**
Yeah, so...
**[09:20] Emi**
We'll study hard for our midterms!
**[09:23] Akane**
Okay.
**[09:24] ---**
Why don't we all study for midterms together, then?
**[09:27] Nodoka**
There are only three days left, though...
**[09:29] Yukie**
Leave this to me!
**[09:31] Yukie**
I'll coach you all hard.
**[09:34] Yukie**
Everyone meet in the library after school!
**[09:42] Akane**
No one's coming...
**[09:44] Yukie**
What are they doing?
**[09:48] Kazuha**
Lean in more!
**[09:52] Hina**
I'll give you a little snip
and make you look beautiful.
***SIGN*** Nao
***SIGN*** Sorry! I had to fill in for my senpai in a magazine shoot.
**[10:08] Yukie**
Did you get a hold of everyone?
**[10:10] Akane**
Yeah, but...
**[10:11] Akane**
Kazuha-chan was asked by a friend
to step in and train at their dojo,
**[10:15] Akane**
Niigaki-san said that one of the
older ladies in her neighborhood
**[10:18] Akane**
needed her hair done for a class reunion,
**[10:20] Akane**
Sagara-san said a shop that's had
bad business lately asked her
**[10:23] Akane**
to do some street performances
to bring customers in...
**[10:25] Akane**
And Nao-chan said her senpai
at work caught a cold
**[10:28] Akane**
and she has to do some modeling in her place.
**[10:30] Yukie**
What happened to studying for tests?
**[10:34] Akane**
But everyone's really nice, huh?
**[10:36] Akane**
They want to help when someone's in trouble.
**[10:41] Yukie**
Oh, well.
**[10:42] Yukie**
I guess we'll start studying for midterms tomorrow.
**[10:45] Akane**
Yeah.
**[10:50] Akane**
No one's coming again.
**[10:52] Yukie**
What is everyone doing?
**[10:56] Akane**
Kazuha-chan's helping to fix her friend's dojo.
**[11:01] Akane**
Nao-chan said her senpai still isn't feeling well...
**[11:05] Akane**
Sagara-san said they begged her to do
**[11:08] ---**
a performance at a neighborhood festival.
**[11:10] Akane**
Niigaki-san said a girl she knows is going to see
**[11:13] Akane**
her grandparents for the first time in ages,
**[11:15] Akane**
and she was asked to make her look nice...
**[11:18] Yukie**
I think I see why they all have bad grades.
**[11:22] Akane**
There's only one day until midterms...
**[11:25] Yukie**
We'll just have to...
**[11:28] Yukie**
have an all-night study session!
**[11:31] Kazuha**
An all...
**[11:31] Nao**
...night...
**[11:32] Hina**
...study...
**[11:33] Emi**
...delicatessen?!
**[11:36] Yukie**
Session!
**[11:38] Akane**
Yukie-chan said we should all
have a slumber party and study.
**[11:42] Kazuha**
Oh, yeah... Since midterms are tomorrow.
**[11:45] Nao**
Sounds good, but where?
**[11:47] Yukie**
I was thinking at one of our houses...
**[11:50] Akane**
Can anyone do it?
**[11:53] Hina**
My place is pretty small...
**[11:55] Emi**
Mine, too.
**[11:57] Isuzu**
In that case, come to my house.
**[12:01] Akane**
Shiranui-san?
**[12:05] ---**
Girl Friend BETA.
**[12:11] Akane**
What a huge house.
**[12:17] Akane**
You look like a doll!
**[12:19] Nao**
You wear that well. It's great!
**[12:22] Hina**
It goes perfectly with your black hair.
**[12:26] Isuzu**
Just come in already.
**[12:34] Akane**
The garden is beautiful, too.
**[12:36] Emi**
There are so many flowers!
**[12:38] Isuzu**
We've been teaching flower
arrangement here for generations.
**[12:41] Akane**
So that's why.
**[12:45] Isuzu**
Use this room.
**[12:51] Akane**
Thank you, Shiranui-san!
**[12:53] Yukie**
Let's get started, then.
***SIGN*** Secret Midterm Plans Math
**[12:59] Yukie**
Okay, I put together all the material
**[13:01] ---**
that will most likely be on the midterms,
**[13:04] Yukie**
so we just have to remember everything in here.
**[13:07] Akane**
That's amazing, Yukie-chan.
**[13:08] Nao**
You're definitely our class rep.
**[13:10] Kazuha**
Got it.
**[13:11] Emi**
Let's do it.
**[13:12] Hina**
Yeah, let's do this!
**[13:14] Isuzu**
Excuse me.
**[13:19] Akane**
Th-Thank you.
**[13:21] Yukie**
You didn't have to do that for us.
**[13:23] Hina**
Thanks!
**[13:23] Kazuha**
All right!
**[13:26] Isuzu**
It's not like I did it for you guys.
**[13:31] Akane**
What are those flowers for?
**[13:32] Isuzu**
I'm changing out the flowers in the alcove.
**[13:35] Akane**
They're pretty.
**[13:36] Nao**
What kind of flower is that?
**[13:39] Nao**
They're sasanquas.
**[13:40] Nao**
They represent...
**[13:43] ---**
overcoming adversity.
**[13:45] Yukie**
That's perfect for us right now.
**[13:48] Yukie**
Okay, let's...
**[13:49] Kazuha**
These steamed buns are really good.
**[13:51] Nao**
This could be bad.
**[13:53] ---**
I have to keep my figure...
**[13:57] Yukie**
This isn't afternoon teatime!
**[14:00] Hina**
Yatsuka-san, you should eat some, too.
**[14:03] Emi**
Here you go.
**[14:04] Yukie**
Huh?
**[14:10] Yukie**
These are good.
**[14:11] Emi**
Aren't they?
**[14:12] Yukie**
Yeah...
**[14:15] Yukie**
Whoa, that was close.
I almost got caught up in your pace.
**[14:20] Yukie**
Okay, first—
**[14:21] Emi**
I know!
**[14:22] Emi**
How about starting with introductions?
**[14:25] Akane**
Good idea.
**[14:26] Akane**
We're not all in the same class, after all.
**[14:29] Yukie**
Okay, let's do this fast, then.
**[14:32] Yukie**
Yukie Yatsuka.
**[14:33] Yukie**
I'm the class rep for Class C.
**[14:35] Hina**
Wow.
**[14:36] Emi**
Hey there, Class Pres!
**[14:38] Kazuha**
Same class here.
**[14:39] Kazuha**
Kazuha Kumada from Class C.
**[14:41] Kazuha**
I'm on the judo team.
**[14:43] Hina**
That's pretty cool.
**[14:44] Emi**
Judo Japan!
**[14:46] Nao**
I'm Nao Miyoshi from Class C.
**[14:49] Nao**
I'm not in any clubs,
**[14:50] Nao**
but I do some modeling on the side.
**[14:53] Hina**
That's why she's got such a good figure.
**[14:55] Emi**
A perfect body!
**[14:57] Yukie**
You don't have to react like that
to everything, you know.
**[15:00] Hina**
I'm Hina Niigaki from Class A.
**[15:02] Hina**
I love styling hair.
**[15:06] Emi**
Over here!
**[15:08] Emi**
Emi Sagara, from Class B!
**[15:10] Emi**
I'm part of the street performing society!
**[15:12] Kazuha**
Street performing?
**[15:13] Hina**
What do you do?
**[15:14] Emi**
Well... Things like juggling.
**[15:20] Yukie**
Don't play with your food!
**[15:23] Emi**
S-Sorry.
**[15:27] Akane**
What about you, Shiranui-san?
**[15:30] Isuzu**
I'm Isuzu Shiranui.
**[15:33] Akane**
Um... You're in Class A with Niigaki-san, right?
**[15:37] Akane**
Thanks for letting us use your house today.
**[15:40] Akane**
I guess I'm last.
**[15:41] ---**
I'm in charge of the broadcasts...
**[15:43] Hina**
Akane Sakurai-san, right?
**[15:45] Emi**
We're always listening to the lunch broadcast.
**[15:47] Akane**
Thank you!
**[15:49] Yukie**
Well, ready to start studying?
**[15:53] Akane**
Oh, Shiranui-san, would you like to study with us?
**[15:56] Isuzu**
I'll get dinner ready.
**[15:58] Akane**
Huh?
**[15:59] Isuzu**
Both my mother and my grandmother
**[16:00] Isuzu**
have flower arrangement practice, so they'll be late.
**[16:03] Isuzu**
I have to prepare dinner today.
**[16:06] Kazuha**
Chestnut rice for dinner, huh?
**[16:09] Emi**
Feels like autumn already.
**[16:11] Yukie**
This takes so much work.
**[16:13] Akane**
So that leaves the pumpkin stew, grilled fish,
**[16:16] Akane**
and boiled tofu, right?
**[16:18] Isuzu**
Yeah.
**[16:19] Akane**
All right.
**[16:22] Hina**
I'm good at cutting.
**[16:23] Hina**
Leave this to me.
**[16:24] Nao**
I thought hair was the only thing
you were good at cutting.
**[16:28] Yukie**
We still haven't studied at all.
**[16:30] Kazuha**
Let's focus after we finish eating!
**[16:36] All**
Thanks for dinner!
**[16:39] Akane**
I'll help you.
**[16:40] Isuzu**
You need to study.
**[16:42] Hina**
If we all help, it'll be done in a flash.
**[16:45] Kazuha**
Yeah.
**[16:55] Akane**
Well, it's 9:00...
**[16:58] Yukie**
We won't be sleeping tonight.
**[17:00] Kazuha**
I know.
**[17:01] Nao**
I'm prepared for it.
**[17:02] Nao**
Even if it's bad for the skin...
**[17:04] Hina**
An all-nighter, huh?
**[17:06] Emi**
Why don't we make a shopping run, then?
**[17:08] Emi**
We'll get some drinks and snacks.
**[17:10] Kazuha**
That's a good idea.
**[17:11] Kazuha**
We can't do anything on an empty stomach.
**[17:13] Yukie**
Shopping?
**[17:14] Yukie**
You just ate.
**[17:16] Hina**
But if it gets much later,
it'll be dangerous to go out.
**[17:19] Akane**
All right.
**[17:20] Akane**
Let's get something to thank
Shiranui-san for everything, too.
**[17:23] All**
Yeah. Let's.
**[17:29] Yukie**
Get everything you want in five minutes.
**[17:32] Kazuha**
Got it!
**[17:33] Emi/Hina**
Sure!
**[17:34] Nao**
Mineral water...
**[17:36] Hina**
I think I want some potato chips.
**[17:40] Emi**
Four minutes, everyone.
***SIGN*** Takenoko no Hayashi

**[17:43] ---**
I like these!
**[17:45] Kinoko**
Not those!
***SIGN*** Takenoko no Hayashi
(Bamboo Shoot Shaped Chocolate)
**[17:48] Akane**
Himejima-san?
**[17:49] Kinoko**
You're supposed to get the "Kinoko no Mori."
**[17:53] Akane**
You mean because your first name is Kinoko?
**[17:56] Kinoko**
Get a clue, girl.
**[18:00] Akane**
Huh?
**[18:02] Kinoko**
There we go.
**[18:03] Akane**
I can't eat all of this.
**[18:09] Yukie**
You ended up taking 30 minutes!
**[18:12] Akane**
Let's head back.
**[18:27] Akane**
Ugh, it's cold.
**[18:29] Nao**
It's raining so hard...
**[18:31] Hina**
I'm completely soaked.
**[18:33] Kazuha**
I hope it'll let up soon.
***SIGN*** Bath
**[18:36] Akane**
Wait, this is...
***SIGN*** Women's Bath
**[18:42] Emi**
This feels great.
**[18:44] Nao**
We lucked out.
**[18:45] Yukie**
This is my first time in a public bath.
**[18:47] Kazuha**
Hey, your first time! Congrats!
**[18:50] Nao**
I hope our clothes will dry before we get out.
**[18:52] Akane**
We have them in a dryer,
so I think it'll be fine.
**[18:55] Akane**
Himejima-san's watching them for us...
**[18:59] Akane**
She said she doesn't like baths,
**[19:00] ---**
but I hope that's okay.
**[19:06] Akane**
You don't want to change, Himejima-san?
**[19:09] Kinoko**
I'm too lazy to change.
**[19:11] Yukie**
Why are you here, anyway?
**[19:13] Kinoko**
Never mind. Just eat up.
**[19:19] Yukie**
All right, now we can finally start studying.
**[19:27] R**
Wh-What?
**[19:28] Nao**
A power outage?
**[19:31] Kinoko**
That night, after the rain,
when everyone was together...
**[19:35] Kinoko**
Something slowly approached them.
**[19:37] Akane**
What was it?
**[19:38] Hina(BG)**
Stop it!
**[19:38] Kinoko**
For some reason, the tatami
mats in the room were wet...
**[19:41] Kinoko**
I'm scared, I'm scared...
**[19:42] Kinoko**
They took a quick look,
and in the middle of the room,
**[19:44] Kinoko**
Who is it?
**[19:46] Kinoko**
there was a female ghost with long hair...
**[19:56] Akane**
Shiranui-san?
**[19:57] Isuzu**
I heard people screaming...
**[20:00] Kinoko**
I was just telling a little ghost story.
**[20:04] Yukie**
You didn't have to!
**[20:05] Kazuha**
Tell us the rest!
**[20:07] Kinoko**
That female ghost...
**[20:09] Emi**
What about her?
**[20:10] Nao**
Stop it!
**[20:11] Isuzu**
You guys seem to be having fun.
**[20:14] Nao**
It's not that I'm scared, but...
**[20:16] Akane**
Oh, Shiranui-san, you changed.
**[20:19] Emi**
That's really cute.
**[20:21] Isuzu**
I get stomachaches easily,
so my mother makes me sleep in it...
**[20:25] Akane**
A cat...
**[20:29] Akane**
Let's study.
**[20:31] Kazuha**
Yeah.
**[20:31] Hina**
So we can save those cats.
**[20:33] Emi**
We've gotta work hard.
**[20:35] Nao**
Yeah.
**[20:36] Isuzu**
I'll help, too.
**[20:38] Isuzu**
If you don't understand something, let me know.
**[20:40] Hina**
Shiranui-san is at the top of Class A.
**[20:43] Akane**
Really? Cool!
**[20:45] Yukie**
Okay, let's study until morning.
**[20:48] Kinoko**
All right, I'll be going, then.
**[20:50] All**
You're going home?!
**[21:25] Akane**
They all look like cats.
**[21:35] Akane**
Shiranui-san.
**[21:37] Akane**
Are you going to use those
flowers in an arrangement?
**[21:39] Isuzu**
Yeah.
**[21:41] Akane**
Sorry for keeping you up so late.
**[21:44] Akane**
We ended up putting you through a lot.
**[21:48] Isuzu**
It was a lot of fun.
**[21:49] Akane**
Really?!
**[21:52] Akane**
I'm so glad!
**[22:04] Akane**
It's great that you all improved your grades.
**[22:07] Kazuha**
We didn't make it to the average, though.
**[22:10] Nao**
But I did a lot better than last time.
**[22:14] Emi**
So cute.
**[22:15] Hina**
You'll be living with me now.
**[22:17] Akane**
It'd be nice if we can have a slumber
party with the cats next time.
**[22:21] All**
Yeah.
**[22:22] Yukie**
What are you all going to name them?
**[22:24] Isuzu**
They already have names.
**[22:26] Isuzu**
When I first found them.
**[22:29] Isuzu**
Kikyou,
**[22:30] Isuzu**
Azami,
**[22:32] Isuzu**
Erika,
**[22:33] Isuzu**

**[00:03] Risa**
Today, the student council needs to
go over plans for the culture fair.
**[00:08] Risa**
Wait, first we should gather the
materials from past years...
**[00:13] Risa**
What's this?
**[00:16] Mutsumi**
Vice President Shinomiya.
**[00:18] Risa**
Oh, Mutsumi-chan.
**[00:20] Risa**
What's going on?
**[00:21] Mutsumi**
It seems the cafeteria isn't open today.
**[00:24] Risa**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Temporarily Closed
Today
**[00:28] Risa**
Oh, well.
**[00:30] Risa**
Let's get something at the school store.
**[00:32] Mutsumi**
Wow...
**[00:34] Mutsumi**
That's a lot of people.
**[00:36] Risa**
I wanted to review all the student
council work while eating lunch, but...
**[00:41] Mutsumi**
Why don't you go do your work, Vice President?
**[00:45] Mutsumi**
I'll get food for both of us.
**[00:47] Risa**
Really?
**[00:48] Kanata**
Oh, that's great.
**[00:51] Kanata**
Could I ask you to get something for me, too?
**[00:53] Risa**
President Amatsu.
**[00:55] Kanata**
I'll make some tea and wait for you.
**[00:57] Kanata**
I appreciate it.
***SIGN*** Student Council
**[02:31] Risa**
That's everything for the student council today.
***SIGN*** Darjeeling with Everyone
**[02:34] Risa**
If there's no objection,
**[02:35] Risa**
I'll go submit today's minutes to the vice principal.
**[02:38] Risa**
Will that be all right, President?
**[02:40] Kanata**
Hold on a second.
**[02:42] Risa**
Hm? Is there a problem?
**[02:44] Kanata**
It looks like the water needs a bit longer to boil.
**[02:48] Kanata**
Could you wait until then?
**[02:51] Risa**
Sure.
**[02:53] Kanata**
Here you go.
**[02:55] Kanata**
I got some really good tea today.
**[02:59] Risa**
It smells like muscat.
**[03:01] Risa**
It's Darjeeling, second flush,
**[03:05] ---**
supreme muscatel.
**[03:08] Risa**
The only thing the president
does well is make good tea.
**[03:11] ---**
What?
**[03:12] Kanata**
The only thing?
**[03:14] Risa**
The only thing.
**[03:15] Risa**
Yep, the only thing.
**[03:16] Mutsumi**
The only thing, yes.
**[03:20] Prin**
Good work, everyone.
**[03:21] Prin**
It looks like your meeting is over.
**[03:23] Risa**
Vice Principal.
**[03:25] Risa**
Yes, no problems here.
**[03:28] Prin**
There are never any problems with
you at the helm, Shinomiya-san.
**[03:31] Kanata**
You're a great help, Risa-chan.
**[03:34] Prin**
I have something to tell you all.
**[03:37] Prin**
The school cafeteria will be closed for a while.
**[03:40] All**
What?
**[03:41] Prin**
The cafeteria staff were on vacation together
**[03:45] ---**
when bad weather grounded their plane,
**[03:47] Prin**
and now it seems they're stuck.
**[03:49] Noriko**
They can't make it back by train?
**[03:52] Prin**
There aren't any trains where they are.
**[03:54] Mutsumi**
Where is that?
**[03:57] Prin**
Easter Island.
**[04:00] Noriko**
Overseas, huh?
**[04:02] Risa**
We'll be in real trouble if the
cafeteria stays closed too long.
**[04:05] Mutsumi**
The school store was packed, too.
**[04:07] Noriko**
I heard many students
**[04:08] Noriko**
didn't get to eat anything after
the school store ran out of stock.
**[04:11] Prin**
Ask the students to start
bringing their lunches for now.
**[04:16] Risa**
Understood.
**[04:18] Risa**
Does that sound all right, President?
**[04:22] Risa**
Is something the matter?
**[04:24] Kanata**
I have a good idea.
**[04:26] Risa**
Huh?
**[04:28] Kanata**
How about the student council
members staff the cafeteria?
**[04:33] All**
What?
**[04:34] Risa**
Here we go again...
**[04:36] Kanata**
I'm sure there are students
who can't bring a lunch.
**[04:39] Kanata**
I think it'd be great if we could help out.
**[04:43] Risa**
We can't run a cafeteria on our own.
**[04:46] Kanata**
But you can cook, can't you?
**[04:49] Risa**
A little...
**[04:50] Risa**
But we'd have to make so much.
**[04:52] Kanata**
We have enough people.
**[04:56] Risa**
We don't have the experience.
**[04:58] Kanata**
I'm sure if we try...
**[04:59] Risa**
Who's going to be trying?
**[05:02] Kanata**
Try your best!
**[05:04] ---**
Jeez.
**[05:05] Risa**
You always get these ideas
and make us do the work.
**[05:09] Risa**
What's impossible is impossible.
**[05:12] Prin**
It's not completely impossible.
**[05:14] Risa**
Huh?
**[05:15] Risa**
Vice Principal...
**[05:16] Prin**
I have a nutritionist license,
**[05:19] Prin**
so I'll direct you.
**[05:20] Risa**
What?
**[05:21] Prin**
The ingredients we ordered have already arrived,
**[05:23] Prin**
and the refrigerator is full.
**[05:25] Prin**
If we don't use them, they'll spoil,
**[05:27] Prin**
so it might be good to have the student
council run the cafeteria for a time.
**[05:31] Lisa**
But...
**[05:32] Prin**
Sorry, but I'd like all of you to
**[05:35] ---**
come in early tomorrow for training.
**[05:38] Kanata**
I appreciate it, everyone.
**[05:43] Prin**
Stew, curry, meat with potatoes...
**[05:46] Prin**
We'll focus on items that we
can make a lot of at once,
**[05:50] Prin**
and round it out with fried foods, salad, and
noodles, since they just need to be warmed.
**[05:54] All**
Right!
**[05:55] Prin**
Okay, split up and start getting everything ready.
**[05:58] All**
Right!
**[06:01] Noriko**
Toudou-sensei, you're really good at this.
**[06:04] Prin**
This is basic cooking knowledge.
**[06:05] Prin**
If you're not good with a knife,
don't force it. Use a peeler.
**[06:09] Noriko**
Okay.
**[06:10] Mutsumi**
It's a lot of work when there's this much food.
**[06:13] Noriko**
It'll go quickly if we all work together.
**[06:16] Risa**
Yeah, it doesn't take any special techniques,
**[06:18] ---**
so anyone can do it.
**[06:20] Kanata**
I wonder what's wrong with vegetables lately.
**[06:25] Kanata**
Maybe it's global warming?
**[06:27] Kanata**
The skin is so thick, there's not much left inside.
**[06:31] Kanata**
I wonder how many potatoes it
takes just to make one portion.
**[06:35] Risa**
Huh?
**[06:36] Kanata**
Look, it's gotten so small...
**[06:41] Risa**
Okay, so maybe not just anyone.
**[06:43] Kanata**
I wonder why...
**[06:47] Risa**
Why am I crying so much?
**[06:50] Noriko**
That's what I want to know.
**[06:53] Mutsumi**
My eyes... My eyes...
**[06:56] Mutsumi**
Kiryuu-senpai, should onions
make people cry *this* much?
**[07:00] Noriko**
At home, we chill them before cutting them,
**[07:02] Noriko**
so they never make me cry this much.
**[07:04] Risa**
I've never cut this many at a time, either!
**[07:07] Kanata**
Here's a good trick.
**[07:09] Risa**
A good trick?
**[07:10] Kanata**
If you hold a slice in your mouth while you cut,
**[07:14] ---**
you won't cry.
**[07:15] Risa**
Really?
**[07:17] Noriko**
Tell us that sooner!
**[07:19] Mutsumi**
Let's try it.
**[07:27] Mutsumi**
I feel so sad...
**[07:29] Noriko**
I'm tearing up even more now.
**[07:32] Kanata**
Oh, dear... I'm sorry.
**[07:35] Kanata**
It's not onion you put in your mouth.
**[07:37] ---**
It's chopsticks.
**[07:38] All**
What?!
**[07:40] Kanata**
I guess I was a little off.
**[07:42] Risa**
Not just a little!
**[07:44] Kanata**
Okay, I'll help out to make up for it.
**[07:49] Kanata**
Here we go!
**[07:51] Risa**
Stop!
**[07:52] Risa**
That's dangerous!
**[07:54] Kanata**
But if I uncover my eyes, I'll cry...
**[07:56] Risa**
Watch it! Watch it!
**[07:57] Kanata**
In those old movies, they tell
you not to rely on your eyes,
**[08:00] Kanata**
but to know in your heart where to cut.
**[08:08] Noriko**
Didn't it have a disclaimer saying
the whole thing was fiction?
**[08:12] Kanata**
Did it?
**[08:15] Risa**
Please work on something else, President.
**[08:20] Kanata**
Risa-chan, help me.
**[08:22] Risa**
What's wrong, President?
**[08:25] Kanata**
I can't lift the pot.
**[08:28] Risa**
Huh?
**[08:28] Risa**
Let me see.
**[08:30] Risa**
This is heavy.
**[08:31] Risa**
What's in here?
**[08:34] Risa**
It's full of water.
**[08:36] Kanata**
I wanted to boil some water.
**[08:38] Risa**
If you're using a pot this big,
**[08:40] Risa**
you put it on the stove first,
**[08:42] Risa**
then put the water in with a bowl or hose.
**[08:44] Kanata**
You know a lot, Risa-chan!
**[08:46] Kanata**
Okay, I need to pour this water out, then.
**[08:51] Kanata**
Risa-chan...
**[08:53] Risa**
Let's take out the water little by little.
**[08:56] Mutsumi**
I think our workload just got heavier.
**[08:59] Kanata**
Sorry...
**[09:01] Kanata**
I appreciate it.
**[09:04] Mutsumi**
I'm so tired.
**[09:06] Noriko**
I feel more tired than I should,
given the work we did.
**[09:12] Kanata**
Good work.
**[09:20] Noriko**
This milk tea is really sweet and delicious.
**[09:23] Kanata**
I boiled the leaves in milk,
**[09:25] Kanata**
and added some cream.
**[09:28] Mutsumi**
It's rejuvenating, isn't it?
**[09:30] Risa**
Yes, it would be perfect when you're tired.
**[09:32] Prin**
Everyone,
**[09:34] ---**
I'll do the rest of the cooking myself.
**[09:37] Prin**
Go and attend your classes.
**[09:39] All**
Okay.
**[09:41] Prin**
Meet back here again at lunch.
**[09:43] All**
Okay.
**[09:45] Kanata**
I appreciate it, everyone.
**[09:49] ---**
Girl Friend BETA.
**[09:56] Risa**
Okay, we're going to open the cafeteria now.
**[09:59] Risa**
Everyone stay focused and do your best.
**[10:02] All**
Right!
***SIGN*** Announcement Today's lunch was made by students. Please take a number and wait at your seat. School Administration Student Council
**[10:07] Tsugumi**
They've got it running like any other day.
**[10:09] Tsugumi**
Okay, then...
**[10:11] Tsugumi**
I'll take a kitsune udon and a katsu curry.
**[10:13] Tsugumi**
A kitsune udon and a katsu curry...
**[10:16] Tsugumi**
That'll be 650 yen.
**[10:18] Tsugumi**
You'll be number 20.
**[10:21] ---**
Thank you for waiting.
**[10:23] Noriko**
Stew, bread, coffee, and...
**[10:26] ---**
Natto?
**[10:28] Noriko**
Um... Is this right?
**[10:30] Chloe**
Yes, of course.
**[10:32] Chloe**
Countries with a long history
have unique fermented foods.
**[10:37] Chloe**
Natto is the soul of Japan.
**[10:41] Noriko**
You're not going to mix that in, are you?
**[10:43] Chloe**
Non, non.
**[10:44] Chloe**
You have to stir the natto first.
**[10:48] Noriko**
Huh?
**[10:49] Chloe**
You stir it well, without adding anything.
**[10:52] Chloe**
That gives natto its aroma.
**[10:54] Chloe**
When you're done stirring,
**[10:55] ---**
you add the sauce and spices.
**[10:57] Chloe**
Everyone in Japan knows this.
**[11:00] Noriko**
Right.
**[11:03] Noriko**
She did mix it in!
**[11:06] Raimu**
Hey, do androids know what food tastes like?
**[11:10] Monochrome**
Yes. Food tastes good.
**[11:11] Raimu**
Is it some sort of chemical reaction?
**[11:13] Raimu**
Or is it the ions?
**[11:14] Raimu**
Tell me how it works!
**[11:17] Monochrome**
That is classified.
**[11:19] Monochrome**
A meat and potatoes meal with a raw egg.
**[11:22] Monochrome**
Also, two AA batteries,
**[11:24] ---**
and one 006p 9V battery, please.
**[11:29] Mutsumi**
AA batteries and a 9V battery...
**[11:32] Mutsumi**
That'll be 750 yen in total.
**[11:36] Risa**
We've got an order for curry and rice.
**[11:38] Kanata**
Right!
**[11:39] Kanata**
Put some rice on the plate...
**[11:41] Kanata**
There.
**[11:43] Kanata**
And then some curry...
**[11:45] Kanata**
There we are.
**[11:48] Kanata**
I think that's a bit too much curry...
**[11:51] Kanata**
I'll just add some rice, then.
**[11:53] Kanata**
There.
**[11:55] Kanata**
Now there might be too much rice.
**[11:58] Kanata**
Then I'll just add more curry...
**[12:01] Risa**
President Amatsu.
**[12:02] Risa**
Is the curry rea—
**[12:08] Kanata**
Don't look!
**[12:10] Risa**
Looking isn't the problem!
**[12:12] Kanata**
Are you angry?
**[12:13] Risa**
No, I'm not.
**[12:16] Kanata**
You are...
**[12:17] Risa**
I'm not.
**[12:19] Kanata**
I'm sorry.
**[12:23] Risa**
It's fine.
**[12:24] Risa**
Just go take orders.
**[12:27] Kanata**
Okay!
**[12:28] Noriko**
Thanks for waiting.
**[12:33] Risa**
Meat and potatoes meal up!
**[12:35] Noriko**
Right!
**[12:36] Kanata**
Hey, Risa-chan.
**[12:38] Kanata**
How do you cook teriyaki chicken steak?
**[12:41] Risa**
Huh?
**[12:42] Risa**
We don't have teriyaki chicken
steak on the menu today...
**[12:46] Risa**
You didn't take an order for one, did you?
**[12:48] Kanata**
Yep!
**[12:49] Kanata**
Saya-chan said—
**[12:50] Risa**
It doesn't matter what Saya-chan said!
**[12:52] Risa**
Jeez... Why'd you take an order for
something that's not on the menu?
**[12:56] Kanata**
No, I recommended it.
**[12:59] Kanata**
I said it's really good.
**[13:02] Risa**
Give that to me.
**[13:03] Risa**
I'll do it.
**[13:05] Kanata**
I appreciate it.
**[13:07] Prin**
The pace has slowed down.
**[13:10] Prin**
You should start taking breaks
in shifts while you can.
**[13:13] All**
Right!
**[13:17] Mutsumi**
I didn't think it'd be so tiring...
**[13:19] Risa**
Yes, not to mention we have one girl
**[13:22] Risa**
who's making things more
tiring than they should be.
**[13:26] Noriko**
How did she even get to be
the student council president?
**[13:32] All**
Thank you!
**[13:35] Kanata**
Good work.
**[13:37] Risa**
I wasn't sure how it'd turn out,
**[13:39] ---**
but I'm glad it worked out.
**[13:41] Kanata**
I didn't think it would really go that well.
**[13:44] Risa**
You're the one who suggested this!
**[13:48] Prin**
Please work hard tomorrow, too.
**[13:50] All**
Okay!
**[13:52] Satoru**
Suzukawa-senpai, did you
hear about the cafeteria?
**[13:56] Rino**
Yep, I did.
**[13:57] Rino**
The student council's running it, right?
**[14:00] Satoru**
My classmate went there to eat,
**[14:02] Satoru**
and the vice principal was directing them.
**[14:04] Satoru**
Apparently, the food was pretty good.
**[14:06] Rino**
It's only for a limited time, right?
**[14:08] Rino**
I'll have to give it a try, too!
**[14:11] Mahiro**
The cafeteria?
**[14:13] Mahiro**
I do recall them telling us to
bring our lunches if we could...
**[14:18] Fumio**
Well, Amatsu-san wanted us to spread
the word for everyone to come.
**[14:23] Mahiro**
The president did?
**[14:25] Mahiro**
I'll go, then.
**[14:26] Mahiro**
I wanted to give it a try.
**[14:29] Chloe**
A stew suited to Japanese tastes
that goes well with natto...
**[14:33] Chloe**
It was the best!
**[14:35] Chloe**
Give it a try.
**[14:41] Mutsumi**
Isn't the line a little longer than yesterday?
**[14:44] Risa**
You'd classify this as "a little," Mutsumi-chan?
**[14:49] Kanata**
Oh, my.
**[14:50] Kanata**
We're really in business now.
**[14:51] Risa**
It's not about being in business!
**[14:55] Risa**
How are we going to deal
with that many customers?
**[14:58] Kanata**
I'm sure everyone's here because
the food yesterday was so good.
**[15:01] Kanata**
How nice.
**[15:02] Risa**
It's not nice at all!
**[15:04] Kanata**
Try your best.
**[15:05] Risa**
You're acting like you're not even involved...
**[15:08] Kanata**
I'll try hard with you.
**[15:11] Risa**
Please, President, don't try at all.
**[15:14] Noriko**
Vice President Shinomiya.
**[15:16] Noriko**
We're definitely over capacity here.
**[15:18] Risa**
We have no choice, then.
**[15:20] Risa**
Ask the cooking club for help,
**[15:22] Risa**
and get as many volunteers as you can!
**[15:26] Akane**
We've got a request from the student council!
**[15:28] Akane**
They're seeking students who
can help out in the cafeteria.
**[15:32] Akane**
Anyone who's good at cooking,
**[15:33] Akane**
anyone who wants to be a waitress...
**[15:35] Akane**
From cleaning to heavy lifting,
**[15:37] Akane**
they'll gladly accept any help you can offer!
**[15:40] Akane**
If you'd like to lend a hand,
head to the cafeteria immediately!
**[15:46] Kaho**
I'm Kaho Mishina, a first-year.
**[15:48] Kaho**
I came here with Nabeshima-senpai to
help on behalf of the cooking club.
**[15:52] Otome**
Otome Kayashima, a third-year.
**[15:54] Otome**
I'm in the Japanese culture research society,
**[15:57] Otome**
but I'm pretty decent at cooking.
**[15:59] Makoto**
Makoto Hiiragi, a first-year.
**[16:01] Makoto**
I like making sweets.
**[16:03] Michiru**
Michiru Tomura, a second-year!
**[16:05] Michiru**
Leave the waitressing to me!
**[16:07] Risa**
We have to work fast.
**[16:09] Risa**
Please start helping right away.
**[16:11] All**
Got it!
**[16:13] Michiru**
Welcome!
**[16:14] Michiru**
Help yourself to an open seat.
**[16:17] Mutsumi**
Got an order for a tonkatsu meal.
**[16:18] Kaho**
Okay!
**[16:21] Makoto**
Oh, you're great with a knife.
**[16:23] Kaho**
The older club members have been teaching me.
**[16:26] Kaho**
Okay, one tonkatsu meal up!
**[16:29] Makoto**
I've got to try hard, too.
**[16:31] Makoto**
The strawberry sundaes are done.
**[16:34] Tsugumi**
They've got sweets today, too.
**[16:37] Tsugumi**
Hey, what's this "Chef's Random Special"?
**[16:41] Mutsumi**
It's random.
**[16:43] Mutsumi**
I'm not sure what it is, either.
**[16:45] Otome**
We've got three Random Specials up.
**[16:50] Noriko**
Character lunches?
**[16:52] Rino**
Thanks for waiting.
**[16:53] Satoru**
Huh?
**[16:54] ---**
Suzukawa-senpai?
**[16:56] Satoru**
Didn't you say you wanted to eat here?
**[16:57] Rino**
When they said they needed
the help, they weren't *kitten*.
**[17:01] Rino**
Well? How do I look *nyow*?
**[17:04] Mahiro**
I guess we got to come...
**[17:07] Mahiro**
But this isn't quite what I had in mind.
**[17:09] Fumio**
This is a little embarrassing.
**[17:14] Risa**
Looks like everything's going smoothly.
**[17:16] Mutsumi**
If we keep this up, I think we can make it.
**[17:19] Noriko**
There's trouble, Vice President Shinomiya!
**[17:21] Risa**
What's wrong, Kiryuu-san?
**[17:23] Noriko**
I just heard from a customer that
**[17:25] Noriko**
the school store messed up an order,
**[17:27] ---**
and didn't get any yakisoba bread in today.
***SIGN*** We were unable to get any
yakisoba bread today.
We apologize for
the inconvenience.
School store
**[17:31] Noriko**
All the people who were hoping to get
yakisoba bread are going to come here.
**[17:35] Mutsumi**
We're full over here.
**[17:37] Noriko**
What should we do, Vice President?
**[17:39] Kanata**
I have a good idea.
**[17:42] All**
President Amatsu!
**[17:43] Kanata**
We just have to...
**[17:45] All**
We just have to...?
**[17:47] Kanata**
Make yakisoba bread ourselves!
**[17:50] All**
What?!
**[17:51] Kanata**
We've got the bread,
and we've got the yakisoba.
**[17:54] Kanata**
That solves the problem.
**[17:56] Risa**
No, it doesn't!
**[17:57] Risa**
We still don't have enough people!
**[18:00] Kanata**
But don't you feel bad that people
can't eat what they wanted to?
**[18:05] Risa**
We're really busy as it is!
**[18:07] Risa**
We can't add more menu items now!
**[18:09] Kanata**
Please...
**[18:10] Risa**
Not happening.
**[18:12] Kanata**
Please...
**[18:13] Risa**
I said we can't.
**[18:16] Kanata**
Please...
**[18:20] Kanata**
Pretty please?
**[18:25] Noriko**
We've got two orders for yakisoba bread!
**[18:28] Risa**
Got it!
**[18:29] Kanata**
Would you like me to help?
**[18:31] Risa**
No, thank you.
**[18:32] Kanata**
Really?
**[18:33] Risa**
Don't do anything else.
**[18:36] Kanata**
My hands are free, though.
**[18:38] Risa**
Go make some tea.
**[18:41] Kanata**
Okay.
**[18:45] Prin**
Take breaks in shifts.
**[18:48] Risa**
Shinomiya's going on her break.
**[18:53] Risa**
Huh? Where's President Amatsu?
**[18:56] Risa**
Oh, well.
**[18:57] Risa**
I need to eat lunch while it's quiet,
**[18:59] Risa**
and then get back.
**[19:02] Mutsumi**
One Random Special.
**[19:04] Risa**
There, two curry udons up!
**[19:06] Noriko**
Vice President, we need three of those.
**[19:09] Risa**
Huh? We do?
**[19:11] Risa**
Sorry. I'll make it now.
**[19:13] Mutsumi**
Is the meat and potatoes meal ready yet?
**[19:15] Risa**
Huh? Didn't I bring that out already?
**[19:17] Mutsumi**
That was the previous order.
**[19:19] Mutsumi**
We got another one.
**[19:21] Risa**
Sorry, I'll make it now!
**[19:24] Noriko**
Vice President, what's that?
**[19:29] Noriko**
It was supposed to be curry and rice,
but now it's meat and potatoes with rice!
**[19:32] Noriko**
Is the vice president okay?
**[19:34] Mutsumi**
Should I switch with you?
**[19:52] Mutsumi**
I can't do this anymore!
**[19:54] Mutsumi**
Someone help me!
**[19:56] Kanata**
Okay!
**[19:58] Risa**
President?
**[20:00] Kanata**
I'm back.
**[20:01] Kanata**
I was out of tea.
**[20:07] Kanata**
Here you go.
**[20:14] Risa**
It's good.
**[20:16] Kanata**
I put honey in chamomile tea.
**[20:19] Kanata**
It helps you calm down.
**[20:21] Risa**
Wow...
**[20:23] Kanata**
You're pretty amazing, Risa-chan.
**[20:25] Risa**
Huh?
**[20:26] Kanata**
We really were able to run the cafeteria.
**[20:28] Risa**
That's because you suggested it.
**[20:30] Kanata**
Yeah.
**[20:31] Kanata**
All I did was say it.
**[20:33] Kanata**
But, look...
**[20:34] Kanata**
Everyone's so happy.
**[20:37] Kanata**
Seeing them all smiling makes me glad we did this.
**[20:43] Kanata**
Don't you agree?
**[20:50] Kanata**
Is the tea good?
**[20:53] Risa**
Yeah.
**[20:54] Kanata**
I'm glad.
**[20:56] Risa**
President Amatsu.
**[20:57] Kanata**
What is it?
**[20:58] Risa**
You're really terrible, aren't you?
**[21:01] Kanata**
Hm?
**[21:08] Risa**
I'm getting back to work.
**[21:10] Kanata**
See you later.
**[21:12] Risa**
Risa Shinomiya is in!
**[21:14] All**
Right!
**[21:21] Kanata**
This is good.
**[21:24] Noriko**
I'm tired.
**[21:26] Kanata**
Here you go.
**[21:29] Mutsumi**
What a refreshing smell.
**[21:30] Kanata**
It's Darjeeling, first flush.
**[21:33] Kanata**
It helps refresh you.
**[21:36] Noriko**
It brings me back to life.
**[21:44] R**
That was pretty fun, huh?
**[21:45] R2**
Yeah.
**[21:46] Risa**
I always end up following her lead...
**[21:54] Prin**
Everyone, good work.
**[21:56] All**
You, too.
**[21:58] Prin**
I got word not too long ago.
**[22:00] Prin**
The planes are able to fly now,
**[22:02] Prin**
so the cafeteria staff will be heading back.
**[22:05] Risa**
So, tomorrow...
**[22:06] Mutsumi**
They won't be back yet.
**[22:08] Risa**
Huh?
**[22:09] Mutsumi**
From Easter Island,
**[22:10] Mutsumi**
they'll have to hit Santiago in Chile,
**[22:12] Mutsumi**
and then Paris, France,
**[22:15] ---**
and then from there to Narita.
**[22:17] Mutsumi**
And then, they still have to head back here...
**[22:20] Noriko**
So they probably won't be back
tomorrow or even the day after.
**[22:23] All**
What?
**[22:24] Prin**
There you have it.
**[22:25] Prin**
So I'll be counting on you all tomorrow, too.
**[22:28] Kanata**
I guess there's no choice.
**[22:30] Kanata**
I'll have to help out tomorrow, then.
**[22:35] Risa**
Please stay out of it!

Momo, you don't have to run so fast.
**[01:39] Momo**
Yes, I do.
**[01:41] Momo**
The school store's sweet
potatoes are really popular.
**[01:44] Momo**
They sold out yesterday,
and I couldn't get any.
**[01:47] Yuzuko**
Your dedication to food is amazing.
***SIGN*** School Store
**[01:53] A**
I'll take three sweet potatoes.
**[01:56] Yuzuko**

We waited so long, too...
**[02:20] B**
We're sorry.

Momoko.
**[02:21] Momoko**
Huh?
**[02:23] Momoko**
Nagiko-chan-senpai.
**[02:24] Nagiko**
Oh, good. I've been looking for you.
**[02:27] Nagiko**
Do you have some time?
**[02:29] Nagiko**
You kind of look like you've
given up on the world.
**[02:32] Momoko**
I'm okay, really.
**[02:34] Momoko**
Yuzu-chan and I came to
buy some sweet potatoes,
**[02:37] Momoko**
but they ran out as soon as we got there,
so I'm just disappointed.
**[02:41] Yuzuko**
Nice to meet you.
**[02:42] Yuzuko**
I'm an old friend of Momo's, Yuzuko Hazuki.
**[02:45] Yuzuko**
Thanks for looking after Momo.
**[02:47] Nagiko**
Please, no need to exaggerate.
**[02:50] Nagiko**
I'm a second-year in the
light music club, Kurokawa.
**[02:53] Nagiko**
Nice to meet you.
**[02:55] Momoko**
So, what did you need, Nagiko-chan-senpai?
**[02:59] Nagiko**
Oh, right... Did you turn in
the light music club activity log?
**[03:04] Momoko**
Actually, I haven't yet...
**[03:06] Nagiko**
I thought as much.
**[03:07] Nagiko**
The teacher's looking for it,
so please submit it soon.
**[03:12] Momoko**
I'm sorry about that...
**[03:13] Nagiko**
You don't have to get so upset.
**[03:16] Nagiko**
I couldn't buy my sweet potatoes,
**[03:19] Nagiko**
and I forgot to submit the activity log...
**[03:21] Nagiko**
Bad things just keep happening...
**[03:24] Yuzuko**
No, as far as the log goes,
you just forgot to turn it in.
**[03:27] Nagiko**
Anyway, don't forget.
**[03:29] Momoko**
Okay. I'm sorry.
**[03:34] Akari**
President Mishima!
**[03:36] Yurara**
Oh... Uh...
**[03:38] Akari**
I'm Akari Amari, a first-year from the occult club.
**[03:41] Yurara**
I might be the president and not at club much,
**[03:44] Yurara**
but I still know who you are.
**[03:46] Yurara**
What brings you to the third-years' building?
**[03:49] Akari**
Look at this!
***SIGN*** The 1984 Log of All Club Activity
**[03:51] Yurara**
The 1984 Log of All Club Activity?
**[03:56] Yurara**
That's pretty old.
**[03:58] Yurara**
There's a strange code written in the
occult research club's log for this year.
**[04:05] ---**
Let's see...
**[04:07] Yurara**
"Forge lost connections,
**[04:10] ---**
and lead the people to the cafeteria."
**[04:13] Akari**
What is this supposed to mean?
**[04:16] Yurara**
Well, if I remember correctly...
**[04:18] Yurara**
I think I've heard of a code that
described how to solve a problem
**[04:23] Yurara**
that came up in the occult club a long time ago.
**[04:26] Yurara**
Maybe that's it.
**[04:28] Akari**
A problem?
**[04:29] Akari**
Like all of the club's members
**[04:31] Akari**
turned into zombies, except the president?!
**[04:34] Yurara**
That'd be an awfully grim situation...
**[04:37] Yurara**
I don't really know the details, though.
**[04:40] Yurara**
I'm like a ghost president, you know.
**[04:43] Yurara**
If you're looking into it, good luck.
**[04:46] Akari**
I see...
**[04:48] Akari**
Thank you.
***SIGN*** Faculty Room
**[04:51] Momoko**
Sorry to interrupt.
**[04:53] Momoko**
Hmm... I guess I'll go tell Nagiko-chan-senpai
that I submitted the log.
**[04:59] Kokomi**
You're really something, Kurokawa-san.
**[05:01] Nagiko**
How so?
**[05:03] Nagiko**
You were talking to that girl
in the school store earlier.
**[05:07] Nagiko**
Oh, you mean the first-year
from the light music club?
**[05:09] Haruka**
Who?
**[05:11] Nagiko**
Her name's Momoko.
**[05:12] Kokomi**
It was like you were talking with a friend.
**[05:16] Nagiko**
I don't really pay attention to
who's older and who's younger.
**[05:19] Haruka**
If anything, people might think
that makes you unreliable.
**[05:23] Nagiko**
Yeah, if we're talking about you, Haruka.
**[05:25] Haruka**
H-Huh? Am I unreliable?
**[05:29] Kokomi**
I can't talk to older students
like you do. I get scared.
**[05:34] Nagiko**
Well, this year's first-years are really
energetic, or just do as they please.
**[05:38] Nagiko**
Some of them are pretty airheaded, too.
**[05:41] Nagiko**
So it can be a pain to deal with.
**[05:44] Momoko**
A pain?
**[05:45] Haruka**
And it's terribly rude for people to
assume we're unreliable, too.
**[05:49] Momoko**
Rude...
**[05:52] Yuzuko**
What are you doing?
**[05:54] Yuzuko**
Class is about to start.
**[05:56] Momoko**
R-Right...
**[06:04] Yuzuko**
What's wrong?
**[06:06] Yuzuko**
Are you that depressed because you
didn't get any sweet potatoes?
**[06:10] Momoko**
Am I a pain?
**[06:13] Momoko**
Am I rude?
**[06:15] Yuzuko**
Huh?
**[06:16] Momoko**
Am I a pain for talking to older girls like friends,
**[06:18] Momoko**
and being energetic and airheaded
and doing as I please?
**[06:23] Yuzuko**
Huh?
**[06:25] Momoko**
I wonder if I'm rude for not
relying on the older girls, too...
**[06:29] Yuzuko**
Huh? What's wrong? What happened?
**[06:35] Yuzuko**
I see...
**[06:36] Yuzuko**
Kurokawa-senpai said all that?
**[06:39] Momoko**
I've been in the light music
club for almost half a year.
**[06:42] Momoko**
I always thought we were getting along great.
**[06:45] Momoko**
Is it that bad to talk to her like we're friends?
**[06:50] Yuzuko**
I don't know if it's bad, but I guess
treating a senpai as any other friend
**[06:57] Yuzuko**
kind of goes against etiquette.
**[07:00] Yuzuko**
An athletic club would never let that happen.
**[07:02] Yuzuko**
I guess it's kinda rude.
**[07:05] Momoko**
So I *was* being rude...
**[07:08] Yuzuko**
Calm down.
**[07:09] Yuzuko**
I was just talking about how
the athletic clubs operate.
**[07:13] Yuzuko**
Okay?
**[07:15] Momoko**
At this rate...
**[07:17] Nagiko**
Her lousy manners make her annoying enough,
**[07:21] Nagiko**
but she's an airhead, too. What a pain.
**[07:22] Haruka**
That's 50 push-ups for you!
**[07:24] Momoko**
No! I can't!
**[07:26] Momoko**
It might trim my upper arms,
but I'd get all muscular!
**[07:30] Yuzuko**
What did you imagine that
made you bring up muscles?
**[07:34] Momoko**
Maybe I need to stop coming across as airheaded?
**[07:37] Yuzuko**
I think you just need to speak a little more politely.
**[07:41] Momoko**
Um... To stop being airheaded...
**[07:45] Momoko**
Would the opposite of
"airheaded" be "waterheaded"?
***SIGN*** (Aquaculture)
**[07:48] ---**
Do I just need to be waterheaded?
**[07:51] Yuzuko**
She's doomed.
**[08:01] Akari**
Miyauchi-san.
**[08:07] Nozomi**
Don't do that...
**[08:09] Nozomi**
You scared me.
**[08:11] Akari**
I'm sorry.
**[08:13] Akari**
I wasn't going to attack you or anything.
**[08:16] Akari**
I *was* trying to scare you, though.
**[08:19] Nozomi**
It's bad enough that you meant to scare me.
**[08:22] Nozomi**
So, did you need something?
**[08:26] Akari**
Well, I was looking at this.
**[08:29] Nozomi**
What's this?
**[08:31] Akari**
It looks like some sort of code.
**[08:32] Nozomi**
Code?
**[08:33] Akari**
Do you know what it means?
**[08:35] Nozomi**
What it means...
**[08:39] Nozomi**
No clue.
**[08:41] Akari**
Don't just give up so easily.
**[08:44] Nozomi**
Why are you asking me, anyway?
**[08:47] Akari**
Well, Miyauchi-san, you're in the film research club.
**[08:51] Akari**
If you're familiar with the suspense genre,
**[08:53] Akari**
I thought you might know about this stuff.
**[08:55] Akari**
I only watch movies that have
blood spraying everywhere!
**[09:00] Nozomi**
That's quite a bias...
**[09:02] Nozomi**
But I'm not too familiar with
suspense, either, so I don't know.
**[09:08] Akari**
I see...
**[09:10] Akari**
Sorry to bother you.
**[09:12] Momoko**
Anyway, I just don't think I should bother anyone.
**[09:16] Momoko**
For Nagiko-chan-senpai and Haruka-chan-senpai,
**[09:20] Momoko**
and for the light music club...
**[09:22] Momoko**
I need to change.
**[09:24] Yuzuko**
Well, you might be right,
**[09:27] ---**
but I don't think you can change just like that.
**[09:31] Momoko**
Then, what should I do?
**[09:34] Yuzuko**
I think it's important to show the older girls
how much you appreciate them every day.
**[09:39] Yuzuko**
If you can do that,
**[09:41] ---**
you'll be showing them respect
naturally, without being weird.
**[09:44] Momoko**
I see...
**[09:46] Yuzuko**
If you can show them respect,
**[09:48] Yuzuko**
I'm sure you can restore a relationship
of half a year, even if it was lost.
**[09:52] Akari**
That's it!
**[09:53] Akari**
That's exactly it!
**[09:54] Akari**
Forge lost connections!
**[09:57] Akari**
I'm sure the relationships between
members of the occult research club
**[10:00] Akari**
became rocky, and they were trying to fix them!
**[10:06] Both**
Right.
**[10:09] Yuzuko**
"Forge lost connections,
**[10:12] ---**
and lead the people to the cafeteria."
**[10:15] Yuzuko**
This is talking about students
forming stronger relationships?
**[10:19] Akari**
That's right!
**[10:21] Akari**
Mishima-senpai, the occult
research club's "ghost president"...
**[10:25] (Flashback) Yurara**
I think I've heard of a code that
described how to solve a problem
**[10:30] (Flashback) Yurara**
that came up in the occult club a long time ago.
**[10:33] Akari**
...told me that.
**[10:35] Akari**
So I'm sure it's talking about getting
students who were fighting to make up!
**[10:39] Yuzuko**
What about the "lead the people
to the cafeteria" part, then?
**[10:43] Akari**
I'm sure they all ate together
there after they made up!
**[10:48] Yuzuko**
I understand where you're coming from,
**[10:50] Yuzuko**
but it sounds a bit contrived.
**[10:51] Yuzuko**
Right, Momo?
**[10:53] Momoko**
Lead the people to the cafeteria...
**[10:56] Yuzuko**
Huh?
**[10:57] Momoko**
If we can solve that code,
**[10:59] Momoko**
I can make up with Nagiko-chan-senpai
and Haruka-chan-senpai.
**[11:03] Momoko**
Is that what it means?
**[11:04] Yuzuko**
No, that's—
**[11:06] Akari**
That's right!
**[11:07] Akari**
I'm sure there's some sort of
forbidden law in here that will let you
**[11:11] Akari**
fix your relationships with the older girls!
**[11:13] Akari**
We need to figure out the method!
**[11:16] Yuzuko**
No, that can't be...
**[11:18] Yuzuko**
There's almost no evidence.
**[11:20] Yuzuko**
Right, Momo?
**[11:24] Momoko**
Let's solve this, Amari-san!
**[11:26] Akari**
Of course, Asahina-san!
**[11:29] Yuzuko**
It's no use. They're not even making sense now.
**[11:35] Yuzuko**
Hey, Miyauchi-san, say something...
**[11:37] Nozomi**
I'm not really into mystery and suspense movies,
**[11:43] Nozomi**
but this seems like a lot of fun!
**[11:46] Yuzuko**
Huh?!
**[11:46] Nozomi**
I'll help out, too!
**[11:49] Yuzuko**
How did this happen?
**[11:51] Yuzuko**
Can you guys calm down just a little?
**[11:54] Ichigo**
Excuse us!
**[11:56] Ichigo**
Um... Would you mind if we joined you?
**[12:02] Nae**
Is it true that we can get
along with the older girls?
**[12:05] Ichigo**
Some things have happened in our club, too...
**[12:09] Momoko**
Sure. We'd love to welcome you.
**[12:11] Momoko**
Let's all work together to solve the code,
**[12:13] Momoko**
and make up with the older girls!
**[12:16] All**
Yeah!
**[12:23] ---**
Girl Friend BETA.
**[12:28] Nozomi**
Our first clue here is the keyword "cafeteria."
**[12:33] Akari**
Yeah, it is the only word here
that's pretty well-defined.
**[12:38] Akari**
So, what should we do first?
**[12:42] Momoko**
I think we should start by introducing ourselves.
**[12:46] Yuzuko**
Huh?
**[12:47] Momoko**
Well, we're all in different classes and clubs.
**[12:50] Momoko**
We don't know what to call each other.
**[12:52] Momoko**
We should do all of that right.
**[12:54] Yuzuko**
If we have the time for that,
we should use it to search for clues...
**[12:58] Ichigo**
I'm Ichigo Kohinata from
Class 1-B and the art club.
**[13:03] Ichigo**
I feel happiest when I'm able
to peel a peach perfectly.
**[13:10] Nae**
I'm also from 1-B, Nae Yuuki,
in the arts and crafts club.
**[13:14] Nae**
I make cute mascot toys.
**[13:16] Akari**
I'm Akari Amari of Class 1-C,
in the occult research club.
**[13:21] Akari**
I like zombies and blood splatters!
**[13:24] Yuzuko**
They really are introducing themselves...
**[13:28] Yuzuko**
Anyway, we just need to find out
what happened in the cafeteria.
**[13:32] Yuzuko**
We can check the school logs
and graduation pictures...
**[13:35] Yuzuko**
Looking in the old school records
is the only thing we can really do.
**[13:38] Nozomi**
We don't have much to go on, do we?
**[13:43] Ichigo**
Hey, look at that.
***SIGN*** Graduation Albums
**[13:44] Ichigo**
I think they're the graduation albums.
**[13:47] Nae**
Yeah, they are.
**[13:48] Nae**
Let's take a look.
**[13:53] Ichigo**
Nae-chan, how tall are you, again?
**[13:58] Nae**
143 centimeters...
**[14:00] Momoko**
Oh, I'm taller!
**[14:02] Yuzuko**
You're not that much taller, Momo.
**[14:04] Momoko**
I'm taller by two centimeters.
**[14:06] Yuzuko**
It's not a contest.
**[14:08] Yuzuko**
Anyway, the tallest one here should get them.
**[14:11] All**
Stare...
**[14:13] Yuzuko**
Me?
**[14:15] Yuzuko**
Okay, hold on.
**[14:20] Yuzuko**
There we go.
**[14:23] Yuzuko**
Ow...
**[14:25] Fumio**
What happened?
**[14:27] Yuzuko**
Sorry.
**[14:28] Yuzuko**
I was trying to pull a book off the top shelf,
**[14:31] Yuzuko**
and the other books fell, too.
**[14:33] Fumio**
Oh, in that case, you should
have used a stepladder.
**[14:38] Yuzuko**
Yeah...
**[14:40] Fumio**
Are you looking for any book in particular?
**[14:42] Akari**
We're looking for any materials
on the school cafeteria!
**[14:46] Fumio**
The cafeteria?
**[14:49] Fumio**
I've never seen anything like that.
**[14:52] Fumio**
Do you need it for something?
**[14:54] Akari**
Yeah, this.
**[14:55] Nozomi**
Apparently, the occult research club ate
together in the cafeteria a long time ago.
**[15:00] Nozomi**
We wanted to know more about it.
**[15:02] Nae**
But if there are no books on it, I guess we can't...
**[15:07] Fumio**
We don't have anything on the cafeteria,
**[15:09] Fumio**
but it looks like the page before this one is missing.
**[15:13] All**
Huh?
**[15:14] Fumio**
You can read this part with a page missing,
**[15:16] Fumio**
but since it looks like a code,
**[15:18] Fumio**
I'm sure something came before it.
**[15:21] All**
What?!
**[15:22] Ichigo**
Then...
**[15:23] Akari**
If we know what was on the previous page,
**[15:25] Akari**
we might be able to figure this out!
**[15:27] Nozomi**
Do you have the log for this club?
**[15:30] Fumio**
We don't have it here,
**[15:31] Fumio**
but I believe there's a copy upstairs in storage.
**[15:34] All**
Yay!
**[15:36] Momoko**
Thank you very much!
**[15:48] Ichigo**
Huh? The lights won't come on.
**[15:51] Yuzuko**
It's kinda creepy in here.
**[15:54] Nae**
It almost feels like a ghost could pop out.
**[15:58] Akari**
If this were a zombie movie, zombies would
totally be waiting to ambush us here!
**[16:03] Nozomi**
Don't say stuff like that...
**[16:08] Yuzuko**
Hm... It's not here.
**[16:13] Yuzuko**
Did you find it?
**[16:15] Ichigo**
No, I thought they were peaches...
**[16:19] Yuzuko**
I don't think any would be up here.
**[16:22] Ichigo**
Sorry.
**[16:23] Yuzuko**
Jeez.
**[16:24] Yuzuko**
If you guys don't look, it's going to get late...
**[16:30] Momoko**
Sorry.
**[16:32] Yuzuko**
I'm the only one who's actually looking here...
**[16:36] Yuzuko**
Come on.
**[16:48] Yuzuko**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
**[16:49] Yuzuko**
Miyauchi-san, calm down!
**[16:51] Nozomi**
A ghost! A ghost! A ghost!
**[16:54] Yuzuko**
Come on...
**[16:57] Akari**
Miyauchi-san, calm down, please!
**[17:10] Yuzuko**
What are you doing?
**[17:12] Akari**
It was just a little joke.
**[17:14] Yuzuko**
That's not a joke!
**[17:15] Akari**
Really?
**[17:17] Akari**
I thought it would work well as shock therapy.
**[17:23] Yuzuko**
Yeah, but now she's seriously shocked.
**[17:30] Akari**
Everyone! I found it!
**[17:32] Ichigo**
Amari-san, way to go!
**[17:35] Akari**
Here it is!
**[17:37] Akari**
"Clad in red clothes, standing in the golden field.
**[17:43] Akari**
Forge lost connections,
**[17:45] ---**
and lead the people to the cafeteria."
**[17:49] Momoko**
Red clothes?
**[17:50] Nae**
So, red uniforms?
**[17:52] Ichigo**
Are the third-years' uniforms red?
**[17:55] Akari**
No, it could be clothes bathed in blood!
**[17:58] Yuzuko**
That can't be it.
**[18:00] Nozomi**
Red is the color of a leader!
**[18:02] Yuzuko**
What are you going on about, Miyauchi-san?
**[18:04] Ichigo**
I'm more curious about this "golden field" part.
**[18:08] Nae**
A golden field in the school?
**[18:13] Momoko**
In that case...
***SIGN*** Gardening Club
**[18:17] Haruko**
A golden field, huh?
**[18:21] Yuzuko**
Yeah. Is there anything gold-colored in the
gardens the gardening club manages?
**[18:26] Haruko**
Golden... Golden...
**[18:30] Haruko**
I can't think of anything...
**[18:34] Haruko**
But if you consider yellow a shade of gold, we do.
**[18:38] Yuzuko**
What is it?
**[18:40] Haruko**
There are yellow tulips, and yellow pansies.
**[18:45] Ichigo**
Sunflowers are yellow, too.
**[18:48] Haruko**
Yeah.
**[18:49] Yuzuko**
I see! Thank you.
**[18:51] Nae**
But what's the "red clothes" part about, then?
**[18:56] Yuzuko**
It could be what Kohinata-san said before,
**[19:00] Yuzuko**
the third-years' uniforms.
**[19:03] Yuzuko**
"Clad in red clothes, standing in the golden field..."
**[19:08] Yuzuko**
So, the third-years stand in
a field of golden flowers,
**[19:11] Yuzuko**
and then after everyone makes up,
**[19:13] ---**
they eat together in the cafeteria.
**[19:16] Yuzuko**
Maybe that's a little contrived...
**[19:18] Nae**
That's great, Yuzuko-chan!
**[19:20] Nozomi**
Suddenly Hazuki-san's way into it now, too.
**[19:24] Yuzuko**
Trying to solve it got to be really fun.
**[19:27] Momoko**
But if it's only about third-years...
**[19:31] Momoko**
I don't think it'll work for me.
**[19:33] Momoko**
Nagiko-chan-senpai is a second-year.
**[19:36] Yuzuko**
Oh...
**[19:37] Momoko**
Ah, but don't worry about me.
**[19:40] Momoko**
Let's work to the end to figure out the code.
**[19:43] Akari**
Okay, everyone, let's go take a look!
**[19:46] All**
Yeah!
**[19:57] Haruko**
Pansies and tulips are spring flowers.
**[20:01] [SONG] All**
Flower garden
currently closed
***SIGN*** Wait until spring
**[20:01] Haruko**
And sunflowers bloom in summer.
**[20:05] Haruko**
You'll have to wait a bit longer
for the field to become golden.
**[20:14] Nozomi**
W-Well, I guess we can't help that.
**[20:18] Nozomi**
The code probably only works in the spring.

What is it, Momo?
**[20:36] Momoko**
The potatoes.

Huh?
**[20:37] Momoko**
The sweet potatoes!
**[20:39] Yuzuko**
What?
**[20:40] Yuzuko**
What are you talking about?
**[20:42] Momoko**
Red clothes and a golden field...
**[20:45] Momoko**
Could this be...

Hold on, Momo!

Oh, everyone...
**[21:00] Haruka**
Look at this.
**[21:01] Haruka**
The potatoes have gotten so big.
**[21:05] Yuzuko**
I get it!
**[21:06] Yuzuko**
Sweet potatoes!
**[21:07] Nae**
Red clothes and a golden field.
**[21:11] Akari**
So this is what it meant!
**[21:13] Haruka**
I've dug up a bunch,
**[21:15] Haruka**
so please take some home with you.
**[21:19] All**
Yay!
**[21:25] Haruko**
It made you that happy?
**[21:33] Momoko**
Nagiko-chan-senpai,
**[21:36] Momoko**
what are you doing?
**[21:37] ---**
Huh? Oh...
**[21:39] Nagiko**
The sweet potatoes seem really
popular, so I got in the line, but...
***SIGN*** Sweet Potatoes
***SIGN*** Only 150
**[21:45] Nagiko**
There aren't many left, so I'll probably miss out.
**[21:48] Nagiko**
What about you, Momoko?
**[21:49] Momoko**
Nagiko-chan-senpai, come with me.
**[21:52] Nagiko**
Huh? What?
**[21:58] Haruko**
She's not here yet?
**[21:59] Haruko**
There she is! Over here!
**[22:05] Nagiko**
Sweet... potatoes?
**[22:08] Haruka**
Momoko-chan made them.
**[22:10] Nagiko**
Momoko did?
**[22:14] Yuzuko**
I'd like to thank you all for coming today.
**[22:18] Yuzuko**
We've prepared sweet potatoes to
thank you for all you do for us.
**[22:23] All**
Time to eat!
**[22:30] Nagiko**
These are good.
**[22:38] Yurara**
Huh...
**[22:40] Yurara**
Is this really what that code meant?
**[22:44] Akari**
What?
**[22:46] Yurara**
Oh, nothing.
**[22:50] Nozomi**
I'll take another.
**[22:51] Ichigo**
Me, too.
**[22:53] Momoko**
Nagiko-chan-senpai,
**[22:54] ---**
sorry for causing you so
much trouble all the time.
**[22:58] Momoko**
Also, thank you for everything.
**[23:02] Nagiko**
Shiina-san was absolutely right.
**[23:05] Momoko**
Huh?
**[23:06] Nagiko**
My classmate told me yesterday.
**[23:10] (Flashback) Haruka**
And it's terribly rude for people to
assume we're unreliable, too.
**[23:14] (Flashback) Nagiko**
You're the one who said that, Haruka.
**[23:16] (Flashback) Nagiko**
She doesn't think anything like that.
**[23:18] (Flashback) Haruka**
You're right. I just thought I'd say it.
**[23:22] (Flashback) Nagiko**
Well, it's a light music club tradition.
**[23:26] (Flashback) Nagiko**
If we build too many walls between the grades,
**[23:28] (Flashback) Nagiko**
it's hard to work together as a band.
**[23:31] (Flashback) Nagiko**
That's why we're used to speaking
frankly with each other.
**[23:34] (Flashback) Kokomi**
But if you can keep that kind of connection,
**[23:37] (Flashback) ---**
you must care about each other a lot, right?
**[23:42] (Flashback) Kokomi**
You can't do that if you're too polite
or too friendly just for the sake of it.
**[23:47] (Flashback) Kokomi**
It's because you're truly considerate
and grateful to each other
**[23:50] (Flashback) Kokomi**
that everyone in your club can be so close.
**[23:54] (Flashback) Kokomi**
Even if everyone is in different grades.
**[24:01] Kokomi**
Thanks for everything, Momoko.
**[24:07] Momoko**
Yeah!

**[00:04] Mahiro**
Once upon a time,
**[00:06] ---**
there was an alien, a cyborg,
**[00:10] Mahiro**
an ammonite, the Kumamoto
Castle, a Shiba dog,
**[00:14] Mahiro**
a sea monkey, and a bok choy,
**[00:16] Mahiro**
and they all lived together.
***SIGN*** Doggy & Scramble
**[02:19] Fumio**
Natsume-san.
**[02:21] Mahiro**
Murakami-senpai.
**[02:23] Fumio**
What are you writing today?
**[02:25] Mahiro**
I'm working on the novel I've been writing.
**[02:28] Fumio**
Oh, you said it's due soon, right?
**[02:32] Fumio**
For the lit club's mini-magazine.
**[02:34] Mahiro**
No, I finished that already.
**[02:37] Mahiro**
This is a novel I've been
writing for a long time.
**[02:40] Fumio**
For a long time?
**[02:42] Mahiro**
Yes.
**[02:42] Mahiro**
Since elementary school.
**[02:44] Fumio**
That long ago?
**[02:46] Fumio**
What type of story is it?
**[02:48] Mahiro**
Well, simply put, an alien, a cyborg,
**[02:51] Mahiro**
an ammonite, the Kumamoto
Castle, a Shiba dog,
**[02:53] Mahiro**
a sea monkey, and a bok choy all
work together to save the world.
**[02:58] Fumio**
Huh?
**[03:00] Fumio**
Bok choy?
**[03:02] Mahiro**
It falls into the space opera genre.
**[03:05] Mahiro**
It's an action adventure story that makes
the blood race and the flesh dance.
**[03:09] Fumio**
Right.
**[03:10] Mahiro**
But I have writer's block.
**[03:13] Mahiro**
I have up until the climax written,
**[03:15] Mahiro**
but I'm not sure how to end it.
**[03:18] Fumio**
I see.
**[03:20] Mahiro**
I work on it now and then, but I haven't gotten far.
**[03:25] Fumio**
And you've been working on
it since elementary school?
**[03:27] Mahiro**
That's right.
**[03:28] Mahiro**
I've rewritten it plenty of times,
**[03:31] Mahiro**
so the story keeps changing, but...
**[03:34] Fumio**
I see.
**[03:36] Fumio**
I know, Natsume-san.
**[03:38] Fumio**
If you wouldn't mind, may I read your story?
**[03:41] Mahiro**
Read this?
**[03:43] Mahiro**
Yes.
**[03:44] Fumio**
Maybe I could help you come up
with ideas for how to continue it.
**[03:49] Mahiro**
That's true.
**[03:50] Mahiro**
Would you take a look at it, then?
**[04:01] Mahiro**
Once upon a time,
**[04:02] ---**
there was an alien, a cyborg,
**[04:05] Mahiro**
an ammonite, the Kumamoto
Castle, a Shiba dog,
**[04:08] Mahiro**
a sea monkey, and a bok choy,
and they all lived together.
**[04:12] Cyborg**
Why?
**[04:13] Cyborg**
Why did this have to happen?!
**[04:15] Cyborg**
If something isn't done, Earth will be destroyed!
**[04:20] Cyborg**
Why did you keep quiet about that until now?!
**[04:23] Cyborg**
What should we do, Kumamoto Castle?
**[04:25] Kumamoto**
Asking me won't do any good.
**[04:27] Kumamoto**
I know. Maybe Bok Choy knows something.
**[04:33] Fumio**
Uh, so the Kumamoto Castle
can speak Japanese?
**[04:37] Mahiro**
Yes, since he is a Japanese castle.
**[04:39] Fumio**
But the alien can't?
**[04:41] Mahiro**
The alien speaks in alien language.
**[04:45] Mahiro**
Also, when he came to Earth,
**[04:47] Mahiro**
he began learning the
standard language, Esperanto.
**[04:50] Fumio**
I see.
**[04:51] Mahiro**
Also, the bok choy is a really pretty girl.
**[04:55] Shiba**
What is this, ruff?!
**[04:56] Shiba**
Why is everyone just sitting here, ruff?!
**[04:59] Shiba**
If we don't hurry, Bok Choy will be in danger!
**[05:01] Sea**
Quiet down a bit.
**[05:03] Sea**
You keep screaming like that,
**[05:05] Sea**
and people will think your
owner didn't train you, Baby.
**[05:08] Shiba**
What was that?!
**[05:09] Shiba**
Try saying that again, ruff!
**[05:12] Fumio**
Who's this monkey wearing the goggles?
**[05:16] Mahiro**
That's the sea monkey.
**[05:17] Fumio**
Aren't sea monkeys a type of plankton?
**[05:20] Mahiro**
When I started writing this,
**[05:22] Mahiro**
I thought that sea monkeys were
monkeys that lived in the sea.
**[05:26] Fumio**
Oh...
**[05:43] Fumio**
This is good.
**[05:45] Fumio**
Natsume-san, this is really good!
**[05:47] Mahiro**
Oh, uh, thanks.
**[05:50] Fumio**
You should be more proud.
**[05:52] Fumio**
This really is good.
**[05:55] ---**
Um...
**[05:57] Mahiro**
I've rewritten it so many times,
**[06:00] Mahiro**
I'm not quite sure if it's even
good to other people anymore.
**[06:04] Fumio**
It's good. I guarantee it.
**[06:08] Fumio**
Reading it was very exciting.
**[06:10] Fumio**
So what happens to Bok Choy after that?
**[06:16] Mahiro**
I was thinking of having her
die protecting the alien.
**[06:19] Fumio**
She's going to die?!
**[06:21] Mahiro**
Hmm... Maybe not.
**[06:24] Fumio**
Wh-Which is it?
**[06:27] Mahiro**
I... haven't decided yet, I guess?
**[06:32] Fumio**
I see.
**[06:34] Fumio**
I really want to know what happens.
**[06:37] Fumio**
When are you going to finish this?
**[06:40] Mahiro**
At my current pace,
**[06:42] Mahiro**
I might never finish.
**[06:45] Fumio**
What?!
**[06:47] Mahiro**
Well, whatever happens, happens.
**[06:50] Fumio**
Writing is an adventure in exploration.
**[06:53] Fumio**
Ryunosuke Akutagawa said that
after you've done whatever you can,
**[06:58] Fumio**
you can only rely on heaven for the rest.
**[07:02] Fumio**
I see.
**[07:09] Chloe**
Fumio-san?
**[07:10] Chloe**
Why do you look so glum?
**[07:13] Fumio**
Oh, Chloe-san.
**[07:15] Chloe**
Did something badly happen?
**[07:18] Fumio**
"Something bad," you mean?
**[07:21] Fumio**
I was wondering how it ended.
**[07:24] Chloe**
Ended?
**[07:25] Fumio**
Natsume-san is writing a novel,
**[07:28] Fumio**
and it was really interesting,
**[07:30] Fumio**
so I wanted to know how it ended.
**[07:31] Chloe**
Oh! I love novels, too!
**[07:35] Chloe**
I want to read it, too!
**[07:38] Fumio**
Want to read it?
**[07:40] Fumio**
I borrowed it.
**[07:52] Chloe**
What happens to Bok Choy?!
**[07:54] Fumio**
Apparently, she might die.
**[07:58] Fumio**
She also might not die.
**[08:02] Chloe**
Which one?
**[08:03] Fumio**
Natsume-san doesn't know yet, either.
**[08:08] Chloe**
I want to know.
**[08:10] Fumio**
Me, too.
**[08:13] Chloe**
Let me borrow this.
**[08:15] Fumio**
Huh?
**[08:16] Chloe**
This is so good.
**[08:18] Chloe**
It's wasted if everyone else doesn't read it!
**[08:20] Fumio**
Hey, wait!
**[08:27] Michiru**
That was so touching!
**[08:29] Michiru**
What happens?! I want to know!
**[08:36] Chidzuru**
What is this?
**[08:37] Chidzuru**
It's really good!
**[08:43] Erena**
What happens to Bok Choy?!
**[08:49] Mahiro**
Huh?
**[08:55] Chloe**
We want to read the rest.
**[08:57] Michiru**
I can't stop thinking about how it ends.
**[09:00] Chidzuru**
I can turn it into a manga for you!
**[09:03] Erena**
What about Bok Choy? What about Bok Choy?!
**[09:06] Fumio**
That's what happened.
**[09:09] Mahiro**
Right.
**[09:10] Chloe**
We came here to get you
worked down to write the rest.
**[09:15] Fumio**
You mean "worked up."
**[09:17] Mahiro**
Yeah, but...
**[09:20] Mahiro**
I've been working on this for
years, and it's still not done.
**[09:23] Mahiro**
I don't know if I can just finish it like that.
**[09:26] Chidzuru**
I see.
**[09:27] Chidzuru**
I know why you can't finish it.
**[09:30] Mahiro**
Hm?
**[09:31] Chidzuru**
You're missing something essential as a writer.
**[09:36] Michiru**
Something essential?
**[09:38] Erena**
What's that?
**[09:40] Chidzuru**
Something you must have to finish a work.
**[09:44] Chidzuru**
That is...
***SIGN*** Deadline
**[09:46] Chidzuru**
A deadline!
**[09:48] Chidzuru**
If I don't have a deadline, I just keep
goofing off and never finish my manga.
**[09:55] Chidzuru**
But if I don't, it won't be ready in time for the expo.
**[09:58] Chidzuru**
When it gets to that point, I feel motivated,
**[10:00] Chidzuru**
and I finish it off.
**[10:02] Chloe**
I see.
**[10:03] Chloe**
That makes sense.
**[10:05] Michiru**
I always finish my cosplay outfits early
**[10:08] Michiru**
before it's time to fit them.
**[10:11] Erena**
I guess it's like summer homework.
**[10:14] Chidzuru**
That's why you just need to set a deadline
**[10:16] Chidzuru**
and finish before then.
**[10:20] Michiru**
That's a great idea.
**[10:22] Erena**
So, when do we set the deadline?
**[10:25] Chloe**
I want to read the ending now.
**[10:28] Chloe**
How about tomorrow?
**[10:30] Mahiro**
Not possible.
**[10:31] Michiru**
What about next week, then?
**[10:35] Mahiro**
It might take longer than that.
**[10:37] Erena**
The week after next?
**[10:38] Mahiro**
I'm not sure...
**[10:40] Chloe**
What about the week after that?
**[10:42] Mahiro**
That'd be hard...
**[10:44] Michiru**
Then, next month?
**[10:46] Mahiro**
We have finals, so...
**[10:48] Erena**
What about next year?
**[10:50] Mahiro**
I'm not sure about that...
**[10:53] Chloe**
I can't wait that long!
**[10:55] Michiru**
If it's hard to finish it all at once,
**[10:58] Michiru**
then why not try setting smaller
deadlines, and go from there?
**[11:02] Chidzuru**
Like a weekly publication?
**[11:04] Chidzuru**
It might be easier to do small bits weekly.
**[11:08] Fumio**
Natsume-san, how does that sound?
**[11:10] Mahiro**
Yeah, I'll do my best.
**[11:13] All**
Really?!
**[11:14] Mahiro**
Yes, I want to finish it, too.
**[11:18] Chloe**
Well then, the sooner, the better.
**[11:21] Chloe**
We're looking forward to it.
**[11:26] ---**
Girl Friend BETA.
**[11:49] Mahiro**
Um,
**[11:50] ---**
are you guys waiting for me to finish writing?
**[11:57] Mahiro**
Murakami-senpai...
**[12:02] Chloe**
Hm? Where's Natsume-san?
**[12:07] Fumio**
Oh, she isn't here yet?
**[12:09] Erena**
The novel's supposed to be due today.
**[12:12] Michiru**
I thought I'd be able to read the rest...
**[12:16] Chidzuru**
This isn't good.
**[12:18] Chidzuru**
Did she run away?
**[12:19] All**
What?
**[12:20] Chidzuru**
Authors who can't make their deadlines
**[12:24] ---**
run away from their editors all the time.
**[12:26] All**
What?
**[12:28] Erena**
That's terrible.
**[12:29] Erena**
What should we do?
**[12:31] Chidzuru**
The thing an editor should
do when this happens...
**[12:35] Chidzuru**
is find her, of course!
**[12:40] Tsugumi**
That sounds like a lot of trouble.
**[12:41] Mahiro**
I would have finished it a long
time ago if it were that simple.
**[12:47] Tsugumi**
Yeah.
**[12:49] Tsugumi**
Is it that hard to write, though?
**[12:52] Tsugumi**
You finish your stuff for the school newspaper
**[12:54] Tsugumi**
and your romance novels really fast.
**[12:59] Mahiro**
Yeah, because one's more a hobby of mine,
**[13:01] Mahiro**
and the newspaper has a deadline.
**[13:04] Tsugumi**
But aren't you writing that as a hobby,
**[13:07] Tsugumi**
and don't you have a deadline now, too?
**[13:10] Tsugumi**
Let me read it.
**[13:12] Mahiro**
No.
**[13:13] Tsugumi**
Why?
**[13:15] Mahiro**
I don't want you telling me you
want to read the rest of it, too.
**[13:18] Tsugumi**
It's that good, then?
**[13:20] Mahiro**
Not so much good...
**[13:23] Mahiro**
I just like writing it.
**[13:27] Tsugumi**
Huh...
**[13:29] Chloe**
Oh!
**[13:30] Chloe**
I found you, Natsume-san.
**[13:33] Chloe**
It's time to write the ending!
**[13:40] Fumio**
Natsume-san, you haven't written the
ending to the novel yet, have you?
**[13:46] Mahiro**
I just don't have any idea what to do.
**[13:50] Fumio**
Indeed...
**[13:52] Chloe**
We have no other choice.
**[13:54] Chloe**
We'll just have to help you get ideas, then.
**[13:58] Fumio**
Help?
**[14:00] Chloe**
We need to find people to help.
**[14:03] Chloe**
We'll get ideas that way.
**[14:05] Erena**
Can we even do that?
**[14:08] Chloe**
It's important not to rush.
**[14:10] Fumio**
Huh?
***SIGN*** The Heroes Who Seem Strong But Aren't, Except Maybe a Little Mahiro Natsume
**[14:11] Chloe**
We need to go around asking people
**[14:14] Chloe**
who know about the characters in this story.
**[14:18] Chidzuru**
I get it.
**[14:19] Chidzuru**
We all belong to a lot of different clubs.
**[14:23] Chidzuru**
I bet there are people who are
knowledgeable about this stuff.
**[14:26] Michiru**
So we ask those people, and get ideas.
**[14:30] Erena**
The characters are...
**[14:33] Chloe**
Let's split up and ask people!
**[14:37] All**
Right!
**[14:39] Yudzuki**
Aliens?
**[14:41] Yudzuki**
I know a lot about science fiction movies.
**[14:45] Michiru**
That's great!
**[14:46] Michiru**
So, about the alien in this story...
**[14:50] Yudzuki**
According to the description,
**[14:52] Yudzuki**
this seems like a large-nosed grey.
**[14:54] Yudzuki**
Not a reptilian, right?
**[14:56] Yudzuki**
Doesn't seem like a Nordic, either.
**[15:00] Monochrome**
I am an android, yes,
**[15:03] Monochrome**
but I am not a cyborg.
**[15:06] Erena**
Are androids and cyborgs different?
**[15:09] Monochrome**
Yes, they are.
**[15:11] Monochrome**
They're as different as crab
pilaf and imitation crab.
**[15:14] Erena**
That's great.
**[15:16] Erena**
You're basically the same, then.
**[15:18] Erena**
Look at this.
**[15:19] Monochrome**
Huh?
**[15:21] Isuki**
I know a lot about ammonites.
**[15:23] Isuki**
Also, I know about trilobites
and nautiluses, too.
**[15:25] Chidzuru**
Really? That's great.
**[15:28] Chidzuru**
What about sea monkeys?
**[15:29] Isuki**
I know about them.
**[15:31] Isuki**
The brine shrimp, like Artemia,
that you keep in aquariums, right?
**[15:36] Isuki**
They're creatures in the Chirocephalidae family,
**[15:38] Isuki**
Anostraca order, subclass Sarsostraca, right?
**[15:41] Chidzuru**
Not those sea monkeys.
**[15:43] Chidzuru**
This is a monkey that lives in the sea.
**[15:46] Isuki**
Huh?
**[15:51] Mahiro**
Thanks for getting all of this together, but...
**[15:54] Mahiro**
I feel like there's more people now.
**[15:57] Yudzuki**
I want to know what happens
so badly, I can't study.
**[16:00] Isuki**
I'm psyched now. You've gotta do something!
**[16:03] Monochrome**
Please write the ending.
**[16:06] Mahiro**
You let them read it, didn't you?
**[16:08] Chidzuru**
Well, we needed to so we could get their help.
**[16:12] Tsugumi**
Yeah, so please!
**[16:15] Mahiro**
Et tu, Tsugumi?
**[16:17] Fumio**
But this is pretty impressive.
**[16:18] Mahiro**
Huh?
**[16:19] Fumio**
There are so many people here
who want to read your story.
**[16:23] Fumio**
I thought it was a weird novel at first,
**[16:27] Fumio**
but as I was reading it,
**[16:29] Fumio**
it was so interesting,
**[16:30] Fumio**
I just got engrossed in it.
**[16:33] Fumio**
It's incredible that you were able to
write a novel this good, Natsume-san.
**[16:41] Fumio**
Natsume-san?
**[16:43] Mahiro**
If my readers think so highly of me,
**[16:45] Mahiro**
I guess I'm going to have to write it.
**[16:48] Fumio**
Then...
**[16:50] Mahiro**
Can I use this research you got for me?
**[16:56] All**
Sure!
**[17:40] Fumio**
Natsume-san.
**[17:41] Fumio**
It's almost time to close the library.
**[17:45] Mahiro**
Is it that late?
**[17:48] Mahiro**
Can I stay just a little bit longer?
**[17:50] Mahiro**
I want to finish this one part.
**[17:54] Fumio**
That's fine.
**[17:56] Mahiro**
Thank you.
**[17:58] Fumio**
But are you sure you should push yourself so hard?
**[18:01] Mahiro**
I have tons of fun when I work on this novel.
**[18:06] Mahiro**
I forget what time it is and just get absorbed.
**[18:09] Fumio**
I see.
**[18:11] Mahiro**
So it isn't stressful at all.
**[18:14] Mahiro**
It's a lot of work,
**[18:15] ---**
but it isn't painful for me.
**[18:19] Mahiro**
When I write, I get stuck, tripped up,
**[18:23] Mahiro**
and I backtrack a lot,
**[18:25] Mahiro**
but when the alien and Bok
Choy cry and laugh together,
**[18:30] Mahiro**
I feel like I want to know how it ends, too.
**[18:34] Mahiro**
That's why I have a lot of fun doing this.
**[18:38] Mahiro**
But...
**[18:41] Mahiro**
But I wonder why I couldn't write it until now...
**[18:53] Mahiro**
Before they realized it,
**[18:54] Mahiro**
they all found themselves
working towards one goal.
**[18:59] Mahiro**
They all wanted one thing:
**[19:01] Mahiro**
they wanted to protect this small,
**[19:05] Mahiro**
but precious world.
**[19:07] Mahiro**
And they all felt strongly about it.
**[19:12] Chloe**
This is wonderful!
**[19:13] Chloe**
It's a masterpiece.
**[19:15] Michiru**
I've never read a novel this fun before!
**[19:18] Chidzuru**
She got me!
**[19:19] Chidzuru**
I didn't expect this ending.
**[19:21] Erena**
I'm so happy...
**[19:23] Erena**
I'm so happy for Bok Choy.
**[19:26] Fumio**
That was a great novel, Natsume-san.
**[19:28] Fumio**
I'd love to reread this over and over.
**[19:31] Mahiro**
I wouldn't go that far...
**[19:33] Yudzuki**
I started crying when I thought
the alien was going to die.
**[19:37] Monochrome**
I cried there, too.
**[19:40] Monochrome**
I felt bad that the cyborg
was going to be left all alone.
**[19:44] Isuki**
And then it's really cool how the
ammonite kicks butt after that.
**[19:48] Tsugumi**
Yeah.
**[19:50] Tsugumi**
Who would have thought the ammonite
would come to save the day?
**[19:56] Fumio**
Isn't it great that everyone loved it so much?
**[20:01] Mahiro**
Y-Yeah...
**[20:03] Mahiro**
I guess so.
**[20:09] Fumio**
Natsume-san?
**[20:13] Mahiro**
It's over...
**[20:15] All**
Huh?
**[20:16] Mahiro**
The novel's done...
**[20:20] Fumio**
Natsume-san...
**[20:24] Mahiro**
I realized why I couldn't write the ending until now.
**[20:28] Mahiro**
I didn't want to leave this story.
**[20:34] Mahiro**
I love this story.
**[20:37] Mahiro**
I love Bok Choy and the others.
**[20:40] Mahiro**
I wanted to continue playing
around in their world.
**[20:44] Mahiro**
I didn't want to let it end.
**[20:49] Fumio**
Natsume-san...
**[20:50] Mahiro**
That's why I couldn't finish it.
**[20:57] Mahiro**
But I'm sure this was for the best.
**[21:00] Fumio**
Huh?
**[21:01] Mahiro**
If I didn't finish it,
**[21:04] Mahiro**
and left everyone hanging,
**[21:07] Mahiro**
I'd feel bad for Bok Choy and the rest.
**[21:10] Mahiro**
Thank you, everyone.
**[21:12] Mahiro**
Thank you for helping me
write this wonderful ending.
**[21:15] Mahiro**
I'm sure Bok Choy and the rest are happy, too.

**[22:05] Mahiro**
Here. Could you read this?
**[22:08] Fumio**
What is it?
**[22:11] Mahiro**
"Once upon a time,
**[22:12] ---**
there was an alien, a cyborg,
**[22:15] Mahiro**
an ammonite, the Kumamoto
Castle, a Shiba dog,
**[22:18] Mahiro**
a sea monkey, and bok choy,
and they all lived together.
**[22:21] Mahiro**
After a fierce battle, they protected the Earth,
**[22:26] Mahiro**
and peace returned to the world,
**[22:28] Mahiro**
but that was only the start of a larger battle."
**[22:34] Mahiro**
Natsume-san, is this...
**[22:36] Chloe**
Is it the continuation to the novel?
**[22:39] Mahiro**
I guess the story wasn't over.
**[22:44] Mahiro**
Bok Choy and the others said
they aren't done having fun,
**[22:47] Mahiro**
so I decided to have fun with them a little longer.
**[22:52] Fumio**
Natsume-san!
**[22:54] Mahiro**
Everyone, that was only the prologue.

**[00:05] Akane**
Hey there, everyone!
**[00:07] Kokomi/Emi/Marika/Rino/Matsuri**
Hello.
**[00:09] Akane**
Today, we've left the broadcast room to
bring you "Attacking the School's Hottest!"
**[00:14] Akane**
from the classroom of Kokomi Shiina-san,
a student who made waves a while back.
**[00:20] Akane**
Shiina-san, we're down to less than
two weeks before the nationals.
**[00:24] Kokomi**
Yeah.
**[00:25] Emi**
I'm so nervous, it's like I'm competing myself.
**[00:28] Matsuri**
It's so exciting.
**[00:30] Akane**
As you can tell, everyone from
her class is pretty psyched, too.
**[00:34] Rino**
Being in the nationals is pretty amazing.
**[00:38] Matsuri**
Shiina-san, we're rooting for you.
**[00:40] Emi**
Make sure you place!
**[00:42] Emi**
Fight!
**[00:43] Marika**
Try not to get hurt, but do your best.
**[00:46] Akane**
So, Shiina-san...
**[00:48] Kokomi**
Hm?
**[00:48] Akane**
Tell us your thoughts looking
ahead to the tournament.
**[00:51] Kokomi**
Well, I'd like to make sure
I don't make any mistakes
**[00:55] Kokomi**
during my performance, and score high.
**[00:58] Rino**
Kokomi-chan is amazing!
**[01:00] Emi**
You can do it, Kokomi-chan!
**[01:02] Akane**
This has been Akane Sakurai,

**[03:03] R**
Here you go, Shiina-senpai.
**[03:06] Kokomi**
Thank you.
**[03:10] Ema**
You didn't make any major mistakes.
**[03:12] Ema**
If you keep that up, I think
you'll be able to score well.
**[03:16] Kokomi**
Thank you.
**[03:18] Ema**
Also, about what we were discussing before...
**[03:22] ---**
Yes?
**[03:23] Ema**
How about increasing the difficulty of the
combos in the middle of your routine?
**[03:27] Ema**
You're getting almost everything
right during practice.
**[03:29] Ema**
I think you can do it, Shiina-san.
**[03:32] Kokomi**
Yeah, but I can only get it
right about 80% of the time.
**[03:36] Kokomi**
I'm not sure if I want to try
that during the tournament.
**[03:40] Ema**
But you *can* do it.
**[03:41] Ema**
I think it'd be a waste if you
didn't at least give it a try.
**[03:45] Kokomi**
Give it a try?
**[03:47] Ema**
Now that you've come this far,
**[03:49] Ema**
don't you want to try hard to place?
**[03:51] Kokomi**
Yeah, but...
**[03:53] Ema**
Everyone's afraid of making mistakes.
**[03:56] Ema**
But I get the feeling you're being a bit
too cautious with your performances.
**[04:01] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[04:02] Ema**
There's a deadline for your application,
**[04:05] Ema**
so think it over,
**[04:06] Ema**
and decide by the start of the week.
**[04:09] Kokomi**
Okay.
**[04:15] (Flashback) Ema**
*I think it'd be a waste if you
didn't at least give it a try.*
**[04:19] Kokomi**
Give it a try, huh?
**[04:24] Nonoka**
There we go.
**[04:27] Nonoka**
Hm?
**[04:27] Nonoka**
Kokomi-chan?
**[04:30] (Flashback) Ema**
*Everyone's afraid of making mistakes.*
**[04:33] Kokomi**
Maybe I started to fear making
mistakes without even realizing it.
**[04:39] Nonoka**
Hey, Kokomi-chan!
**[04:42] (Flashback) Ema**
*I get the feeling you're
being a bit too cautious.*
**[04:45] Kokomi**
That means there's nothing interesting
about my performances, doesn't it?
**[04:48] Nonoka**
Kokomi-chan.
**[04:52] Kokomi**
S-Sasahara-senpai.
**[04:54] Nonoka**
You were practicing pretty late.
**[04:57] Nonoka**
You must be tired.
**[04:58] Kokomi**
N-Nah.
**[05:00] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[05:01] Kokomi**
You're closed already?
**[05:03] Nonoka**
Yeah,
**[05:04] Nonoka**
my grandpa hurt his back, so...
**[05:07] Kokomi**
His back?
**[05:09] Nonoka**
He threw out his back.
**[05:10] Nonoka**
It happens all the time these days.
**[05:13] Nonoka**
When he stands up, he yells, "Ugh!"
And then he can't move.
**[05:17] Kokomi**
That sounds painful.
**[05:20] Nonoka**
What about you, Kokomi-chan? What's wrong?
**[05:22] Nonoka**
I kept calling you and you didn't notice.
**[05:25] Nonoka**
Did you forget who I was?
**[05:27] Kokomi**
S-Sorry.
**[05:29] Nonoka**
I was just kidding.
**[05:31] Nonoka**
I thought you might have been
worried about something.
**[05:35] Nonoka**
You okay?
**[05:36] Kokomi**
I was just thinking about something.
**[05:39] Nonoka**
I see...
**[05:41] Nonoka**
It's almost time for the tournament, isn't it?
**[05:43] Kokomi**
Yeah.
**[05:44] Nonoka**
Oh, can I come and cheer you on?
**[05:46] Kokomi**
Y-You don't have to, really!
**[05:49] Nonoka**
I'll be looking forward to it.
**[05:57] Kokomi**
Sasahara-senpai is always so wonderful.
**[06:01] Kokomi**
I don't want to do something
dumb while she's watching.
**[06:05] Kokomi**
Maybe it'd be safer to just
keep my routine the way it is.

**[09:11] Kokomi**
I'm not worrying about it.
**[09:13] Both**
Kokomi-chan?
**[09:15] Kokomi**
No, it's nothing.
**[09:23] R**
Wow!
**[09:24] Emi**
Okay, this is my first time trying this!
**[09:28] Emi**
I'm going to juggle with six balls.
**[09:37] ---**
Ow! Ow! Ow!
**[09:39] ---**
Oops...
**[09:43] Emi**
I failed!
**[09:44] Emi**
And I only have a little while
left before the big event...
**[09:49] Kokomi**
I only have a little while left
before my tournament, too.
**[09:53] Emi**
Kokomi-chan!
**[09:54] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[09:55] Emi**
I messed up a little bit,
**[09:56] Emi**
but where do you think I need to improve?
**[09:59] Kokomi**
I wasn't really watching.
**[10:01] Kokomi**
Sorry.
**[10:02] Emi**
Okay.
**[10:03] Emi**
If you notice anything I can fix, tell me anytime.
**[10:07] Kokomi**
Sure.
**[10:08] Emi**
I need to practice a bit more.
**[10:13] Marika**
Kokomi-chan.
**[10:14] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[10:15] Marika**
What are you doing for lunch?
**[10:17] Marika**
I'm going to buy some yakisoba bread.
**[10:19] Marika**
Want to come with me?
**[10:23] Kokomi**
I should eat a melon bun to cheer myself up.
**[10:27] Kokomi**
Sure.
**[10:33] Marika**
You seemed kind of down.
**[10:36] Marika**
Are you okay?
**[10:37] Kokomi**
Oh, um... I think I'm just hungry.
**[10:42] Marika**
You got two melon buns.
**[10:44] Marika**
You must have been starving.
**[10:47] Marika**
Huh?
**[10:49] ---**
What's Sasahara-senpai doing?
***SIGN*** Part-time jobs
**[10:53] Both**
Part-time jobs?
**[10:55] Nonoka**
Hm?
**[10:56] Nonoka**
That's right.
**[10:57] Nonoka**
My grandpa can't move very well,
**[10:59] Nonoka**
so we decided to look for someone
who can help out on the weekends.
**[11:02] Kokomi**
Can you hold these?
**[11:04] Kokomi**
Give it here, Sasahara-senpai.
**[11:07] Nonoka**
I'm a little worried,
**[11:09] Nonoka**
but there are customers who
look forward to visiting us,
**[11:12] Nonoka**
so I was thinking of giving it a try myself.
**[11:15] Kokomi**
Sounds like a lot of work.
**[11:17] Nonoka**
Well, I'm sure it'll work out.
**[11:20] Kokomi**
All done.
**[11:21] Nonoka**
You're so great, Kokomi-chan!
**[11:23] Nonoka**
It's up so straight and even.
**[11:24] Kokomi**
It's nothing.
**[11:25] Nonoka**
I'm not very coordinated,
so this helps me out a lot.
**[11:32] Marika**
Maybe I'll give it a try.
**[11:35] Marika**
You wanna give it a try, too, Kokomi-chan?
**[11:37] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[11:38] Nonoka**
Really?
**[11:39] Nonoka**
That'd be great!
**[11:40] Kokomi**
S-Saeki-san!
**[11:42] Marika**
This is a good chance for you and
Sasahara-senpai to get closer.
**[11:46] Nonoka**
It'd be so much help if you both came!
**[11:50] Kokomi**
If I stayed home, I'd just be worrying
about my rhythmic gymnastics.
**[11:54] Kokomi**
Helping Sasahara-senpai might
take my mind off things.
**[11:59] Kokomi**
Well, if you think I'd be able to help...
**[12:03] Nonoka**
Thank you, Kokomi-chan!

**[12:27] Kokomi**
Kokomi Shiina from the same class.
**[12:29] Michiru**
I know you.
**[12:31] Michiru**
You're the rhythmic gymnastics ace.
**[12:33] Michiru**
The heroine of the school, right?
**[12:35] Kokomi**
That's not...
**[12:36] Michiru**
I've always wanted to try
cosplaying in a leotard.
**[12:41] Kokomi**
Cosplaying?
**[12:43] Nonoka**
It'll be nice to work with you
all today and tomorrow.
**[12:47] All**
Right.
**[12:48] Nonoka**
Tomura-san, you have a lot
of experience working,
**[12:51] Nonoka**
so could you help me in the kitchen?
**[12:54] Michiru**
Roger!
**[12:55] Nonoka**
Kokomi-chan and Marika-chan,
**[12:56] ---**
could I ask you to be waitresses?
**[12:59] All**
Sure!
**[13:01] Kokomi**
Two cream sodas, please.
**[13:04] Nonoka**
Okay!
**[13:09] Nonoka**
All right.
**[13:12] Nonoka**
Thanks for waiting.
**[13:14] Kokomi**
Th-This is...
**[13:16] Nonoka**
Cream soda?
**[13:18] Marika**
You had to phrase it like a question yourself?
**[13:21] Nonoka**
I might have messed up a little bit.
**[13:23] Michiru**
Wh-What did you mess up to get *that*?
**[13:26] Nonoka**
I tried putting in a secret ingredient!
**[13:29] Michiru**
You don't need to put that in there!
**[13:31] Michiru**
It's not secret at all now!
**[13:32] Nonoka**
I can't?
**[13:34] Michiru**
I'm going to make it again.
**[13:39] Kokomi**
Sasahara-senpai said she wasn't
very coordinated, but...
**[13:49] Kokomi**
I think it's more like she's...
**[13:51] Kokomi**
extremely,
**[13:52] Kokomi**
completely,
**[13:53] Kokomi**
totally,
**[13:55] Kokomi**
entirely...
**[14:00] Kokomi**
uncoordinated in every way.
**[14:02] Nonoka**
I'm sorry!
**[14:04] Michiru**
Senpai, why do you want to keep
trying to do this stuff when you can't?
**[14:07] Nonoka**
Because it's cool!
**[14:10] Nonoka**
Don't you want to try it?
**[14:12] Marika**
Yeah, but you're taking on too much.
**[14:15] Nonoka**
You don't know if you can do
something unless you try.
**[14:20] Kokomi**
She looks like she's having a lot of fun.
**[14:22] Kokomi**
I guess that's what it means to try
things without being afraid of failing.
**[14:28] Kokomi**
Thank you.
**[14:32] Marika**
Kokomi-chan, you forgot the change.
**[14:34] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[14:35] Kokomi**
Oh, no!
**[14:40] Kokomi**
Excuse me!
**[14:46] Kokomi**
I'm really, *really* sorry.
**[14:50] Nonoka**
You don't have to apologize that much.
**[14:53] Marika**
The customer wasn't really mad, either, right?
**[14:56] Michiru**
You worry too much, Shiina-san.
**[14:58] Kokomi**
But, because I messed up,
**[15:01] ---**
I caused trouble for all of you...
**[15:04] Nonoka**
Why don't we take a break?
**[15:07] Nonoka**
You're tired too, right, Kokomi-chan?
**[15:09] All**
Agreed.
**[15:15] Marika**
I guess even you mess up sometimes, Kokomi-chan.
**[15:18] Marika**
I feel better now.
**[15:19] Michiru**
It's your first time being a waitress,
**[15:21] Michiru**
and you're perfect.
**[15:24] Kokomi**
Thanks for trying to cheer me up.
**[15:27] Michiru**
I'm serious.
**[15:28] Marika**
Come on, eat some cookies and cheer up!
**[15:32] Nonoka**
Thanks for waiting.
**[15:33] Nonoka**
It's the Café Cosmos special blend.
**[15:37] Nonoka**
Have some.
**[15:39] Michiru**
You made this?
**[15:43] Nonoka**
You're silly.
**[15:45] Nonoka**
Who else would have?
**[15:50] Marika**
The color looks normal.
**[15:52] Nonoka**
Come on, guys. Trust me.
**[15:56] Kokomi**
It smells good.
**[16:00] Kokomi**
This is really good!
**[16:04] All**
It's good!
**[16:06] Nonoka**
Coffee is what makes a café.
**[16:09] Nonoka**
I worked hard to learn how to make it.
**[16:12] Kokomi**
So you practiced a lot.
**[16:15] Nonoka**
I messed up lots of times, though.
**[16:18] Nonoka**
I'm not good at cooking and the like.
**[16:20] Nonoka**
I'm not good with ceramics, either.
**[16:23] Nonoka**
It always takes me longer to get things right.
**[16:27] Kokomi**
You're able to make coffee
this good now, though.
**[16:31] Kokomi**
That's great.
**[16:32] Nonoka**
Thank you.
**[16:34] Nonoka**
Since I messed up so many times,
**[16:36] Nonoka**
it makes me even happier to hear you say so.
**[16:39] Marika**
It's failure that leads to success.
**[16:42] Marika**
Every dilemma is a chance.
**[16:43] Nonoka**
If you fall, just get back up.
**[16:45] Nonoka**
It feels like I'm always falling, though.
**[16:59] M**
Why are you up this late?
**[17:02] Kokomi**
There's something I wanted to think
over for my tournament routine.
**[17:06] M**
Don't push yourself too hard.
**[17:09] M**
Both your dad and I
**[17:11] ---**
want you to have fun more than
we want you to score high.
**[17:16] Kokomi**
Thank you, Mom.
**[17:22] Kokomi**
It's failure that leads to success.
**[17:27] Kokomi**
Every dilemma is a chance.

Marezou-san, do you think I can do it?
**[18:01] Emi**
Kokomi-chan, good morning!
**[18:04] Kokomi**
Oh, Sagara-san.
**[18:07] Kokomi**
Good morning.
**[18:08] Kokomi**
Are you headed out somewhere?
**[18:10] Emi**
I have an event at the shopping district.
**[18:12] Emi**
I'm doing a street performance.
**[18:14] Emi**
But my juggling success rate
is still only about half.
**[18:19] Emi**
I'm so nervous!
**[18:21] Kokomi**
Yeah, that's nerve-wracking.
**[18:23] Emi**
Well, you just gotta give it your best shot.
**[18:26] Kokomi**
You're not afraid of failing?
**[18:29] Emi**
Huh?
**[18:30] Emi**
Sure, I am.
**[18:33] Emi**
I don't think there's anyone
who isn't afraid of failing.
**[18:37] Kokomi**
Oh, Sagara-san, I didn't
get to say it before, but...
**[18:41] Kokomi**
If you focus on throwing the
balls instead of catching them,
**[18:44] Kokomi**
you won't mess up, I think.
**[18:46] Emi**
I see!
**[18:48] Emi**
I'll try it.
**[18:49] Emi**
See you later!
***SIGN*** Café Cosmos
**[18:58] Kokomi**
Good morning.
**[18:59] Nonoka**
Good morning, Kokomi-chan.
**[19:02] Kokomi**
What happened with these?
**[19:05] Nonoka**
You caught me.
**[19:07] Nonoka**
I wanted to try practicing on my
own before everyone got here.
**[19:12] Nonoka**
It's hard making a cream soda, though.
**[19:14] Nonoka**
I'm following the recipe to the letter,
**[19:17] Nonoka**
but it's just not going right.
**[19:19] Nonoka**
Don't you think this one is good, though?
**[19:25] Kokomi**
Oh. It's close.
**[19:26] Kokomi**
It's really close to cream soda.
**[19:29] Nonoka**
But you won't say it tastes good?
**[19:31] Kokomi**
But still, it's amazing you were
able to get this good so quickly.
**[19:37] Nonoka**
So I'm not there yet...
**[19:39] Nonoka**
Too bad.
**[19:40] Nonoka**
All right!
**[19:41] Nonoka**
I'm going to keep practicing until
I make a cream soda you like!
**[19:47] Kokomi**
How can you keep working
so hard, Sasahara-senpai?
**[19:51] Nonoka**
Hmm...
**[19:53] Nonoka**
It's because I really love this café, I guess.
**[19:57] Kokomi**
I was told I should try a new
move in the tournament.
**[20:02] Kokomi**
I need to decide by tomorrow,
**[20:04] Kokomi**
but I'm not sure what to do.
**[20:07] Kokomi**
I love rhythmic gymnastics, but...
**[20:11] Nonoka**
You're scared of giving it a try?
**[20:14] Kokomi**
Yes.
**[20:15] Nonoka**
Actually, I wanted to try making
cream soda because of you.
**[20:21] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[20:21] Nonoka**
You said my coffee was good, right?
**[20:24] Nonoka**
I realized it when you told me I might
be able to do it if I practiced.
**[20:30] Nonoka**
I didn't think I'd get good immediately, of course,
**[20:33] Nonoka**
but I knew I'd get nowhere if
I just gave up before I started.
**[20:39] Nonoka**
Maybe you're just convinced
there's no way you can pull it off.
**[20:43] Kokomi**
That might be it.
**[20:45] Nonoka**
Is the move that difficult?
**[20:48] Kokomi**
I'm only able to get it right
80% of the time in practice.
**[20:51] Nonoka**
What?
**[20:52] Nonoka**
Then you only have 20% more
to go before it's perfect!
**[20:55] Kokomi**
Yeah.
**[20:56] Nonoka**
I'm starting from zero over here!
**[21:02] Kokomi**
You really are amazing, Sasahara-senpai.
**[21:06] Kokomi**
I'll keep trying until I can get it.
**[21:08] Kokomi**
You're right. I only have 20% to go, don't I?
**[21:12] Nonoka**
Good work.
**[21:15] Kokomi**
Sasahara-senpai...
**[21:16] Nonoka**
Do it the way you want to.
**[21:19] Nonoka**
That's the best thing.
**[21:20] Kokomi**
Yeah.
**[21:21] Nonoka**
All right...
**[21:22] Nonoka**
Let's have a toast to you
getting out of your slump
**[21:26] Nonoka**
with some cream soda.
**[21:28] Both**
Cheers!
**[21:32] Nonoka**
Hey, Kokomi-chan.
**[21:33] Nonoka**
That's the one I messed up on.
**[21:36] Nonoka**
Kokomi-chan, you're so silly...
**[21:41] Michiru**
Good morning!
**[21:43] Michiru**
What's this? You guys sure are

No, it wouldn't.

I have the proposals for what each class
and club wants to do for the festival.
**[06:04] Kanata**
I see.
**[06:06] Mutsumi**
And we're going to check them.
**[06:08] Mutsumi**
We need to see if they're
appropriate for Seiou Academy.
**[06:12] Kanata**
Oh, that sounds like a lot of work.
**[06:14] Kanata**
Do your—
**[06:15] Risa**
We'll *all* do our best.
**[06:17] Mutsumi**
We received a request to extend the
school closing time until 10 P.M.
**[06:23] Noriko**
I'm in favor, but we should implement
it three days before the event.
**[06:26] Noriko**
I think it's a little early to do that now.
**[06:29] Kanata**
Everyone's working hard.
**[06:32] Kanata**
I'm sure we can rest easy
and enjoy the Ouka Festival.
**[06:39] Haruka**
I'm a young husband.
**[06:44] Haruka**
How's that sound?
**[06:45] Nagiko**
Why a period piece?
**[06:47] Haruka**
The Edo period has been on my mind lately...
**[06:50] Sumire**
Yo.

**[07:07] Haruka**
I'll do what I can...
**[07:08] Haruka**
I need another day...

No, two or three days.

Well...
**[10:59] Haruka**
I'd like to write a song that everyone can
get into, and that I can enjoy singing.
**[11:06] Haruka**
Like something about how it's
important to have dreams,
**[11:10] Haruka**
or something to cheer up
people who are having trouble.
**[11:14] Haruka**
Maybe something about friends or family,
**[11:17] Haruka**
or something about being grateful
to everyone around you?
**[11:20] Haruka**
The future of Japan, or Earth's environment?
**[11:24] Haruka**
Love and peace...
**[11:25] Haruka**
Stuff like that...
**[11:26] Mutsumi**
Is all of that going to fit in one song?

**[12:10] Shiori**
You're always singing.
**[12:12] Shiori**
Why not just do it like that?
**[12:14] Haruka**
I'm always singing?
**[12:17] Haruka**
Huh?
**[12:18] Shiori**
You know, like, "the new croquette buns
at the school store are yummy."
**[12:23] Shiori**
Or, "there are some flowers
I don't know in the courtyard."
**[12:28] Nagiko**
Yeah, she did sing that.
**[12:30] Nagiko**
I remember now.
**[12:32] Mutsumi**
I like the one that goes...
**[12:34] Mutsumi**
"I don't understand this Sei Shonagon person.
**[12:37] Mutsumi**
I'm just tired at dawn."
**[12:41] Shiori**
I want to hear a song that reminds
me of Haruka-chan like that.
**[12:46] Nagiko**
That's it.
**[12:47] Mutsumi**
Let other people worry about
world peace and love for all mankind,
**[12:50] Mutsumi**
and just sing about everyday stuff.

**[13:20] Haruka**
Huh?
**[13:24] Saika**
We're having trouble deciding what
we should serve at the tea house.
**[13:27] Tatsuru**
Red bean jelly is simple and delicious!
**[13:30] Tatsuru**
It's even used in rations. Japanese sweets
that we can be proud of on a global scale!
**[13:36] Haruka**
Right...
**[13:37] Saika**
A tea house needs rice dumplings!
**[13:38] Saika**
I'm not letting this go!
**[13:40] Saika/Tatsuru**
What do you think, Yukawa?!
**[13:51] Kise**
I think they're both equally good.
**[13:57] Tatsuru**
We're asking which one suits a tea house better.
**[14:00] Haruka**
I think they're both good.
**[14:02] Sumire**
Can't you just serve both?
**[14:05] Both**
We could do that!
**[14:07] Tatsuru**
But I still say red bean jelly is best,
and I stand by that!
**[14:09] Saika**

it a fun event for everyone.
**[00:23] Akane**
Okay, got it!
**[00:25] Akane**
I'll do my best!
**[00:27] Erena**
It's happening again this year.
***SIGN*** The 15th Annual
Miss Seiou Contest!!
**[00:32] Erena**
The contest to decide the school's beauty queen...
**[00:38] Erena**
The Miss Seiou Contest!
**[00:40] Erena**
Who's going be crowned this year?
***SIGN*** Princess & Pride
**[02:17] ---**
Let's see...
**[02:19] Mutsumi**
Every student has the right to vote,
**[02:21] Mutsumi**
and everyone may vote one time.
**[02:23] Mutsumi**
The votes will be counted two days
before the announcement, after school.
**[02:27] Mutsumi**
Is that right, Vice President?
**[02:29] Risa**
That's correct.
**[02:30] Mutsumi**
It's okay for us to vote as well, right?
**[02:33] Kanata**
Of course.
**[02:35] Mutsumi**
This is kind of exciting.
***SIGN*** Broadcast Room
**[02:38] Nodoka**
That's pretty cool, Akane-chan!
**[02:39] Nodoka**
The student council had you in mind
specifically to host the ceremony!
**[02:43] Akane**
Yeah. I need to do a good job.
**[02:45] Nodoka**
All right, just leave the sound work to me!
**[02:48] Akane**
Thanks.
**[02:50] Akane**
I'm going to go interview some people.
**[02:52] Nodoka**
Interview?
**[02:54] Akane**
I was thinking of putting together a
special for the lunch broadcast today.
**[02:57] Akane**
So I'm going to interview some of
the girls who are favorites to win.
**[03:03] Nodoka**
That makes sense!
**[03:04] Akane**
I was also thinking it'd be good if,
**[03:06] ---**
when I host the ceremony,
I could have the winners
**[03:09] ---**
share their personal stories or
impressions from the contest.
**[03:13] Nodoka**
Clever as always, Akane-san!
**[03:15] Nodoka**
I'll come help you with your interviews.
**[03:17] Akane**
Sure.
**[03:20] Erena**
I think it's great that our school
lets girls vote for the contest, too.
**[03:25] Chloe**
I wonder who everyone will cast for.
**[03:30] Fumio**
You mean "vote for."
**[03:32] Akane**
Excuse us.
**[03:35] Akane**
Good timing.
**[03:36] Akane**
I'm glad you three are here.
**[03:38] Akane**
Would you mind if I interviewed you all?
**[03:42] Erena**
For what?
**[03:43] Akane**
For the Miss Seiou Contest.
**[03:45] Akane**
I'd like to make a special program,
**[03:48] Akane**
so I came to talk to you three,
as some of the favorites to win.
**[03:54] Chloe**
I can't believe I'm a favorite!
**[03:58] Chloe**
I just trying to be thimble.
**[04:00] Akane**
Thimble?
**[04:01] Fumio**
I think she means "humble."
**[04:05] Momoko**
What?
**[04:06] ---**
An interview?
**[04:08] Akane**
Could I get a comment from
you about the contest?
**[04:12] Momoko**
Well...
**[04:14] Momoko**
I hope everyone has fun.
**[04:16] Momoko**
Like they did at our performance.
**[04:19] Akane**
You guys were really cool up
on stage at the culture festival.
**[04:22] Kurumi**
Oh, you were listening?
**[04:24] Akane**
Yeah. Your costumes were great, too.
**[04:27] Kurumi**
Thank you!
**[04:30] Nae**
Well...
**[04:32] ---**
If it were a speed sewing contest,
**[04:34] Nae**
then I'm positive I could win, but...
**[04:38] Akane**
It'd be nice to have a
contest like that next time.
**[04:41] Nae**
Yeah.
**[04:43] Nae**
But you're not just fast.
**[04:45] Nae**
The stuffed animals you make
are really cute, Yuuki-san.
**[04:49] Nae**
Really?
**[04:51] Nae**
I'll give you one as a present
next time, Sakurai-senpai.
**[04:55] Akane**
Thank you!
**[04:56] Akane**
It must be hard for the arts and crafts club
to make all of the dresses for the winners.
**[05:01] Nae**
But I love making them.
**[05:04] Nae**
It'll be fun.
**[05:06] Kokomi**
Huh? A favorite to win?
**[05:09] Kokomi**
I am?
**[05:10] Akane**
Of course!
**[05:11] Akane**
You're the star of the
rhythmic gymnastics team.
**[05:13] Kokomi**
Not at all.
**[05:14] Kokomi**
There are a lot of girls better than me.
**[05:17] Akane**
For example?
**[05:20] Kokomi**
Momoko Sasahara-san?
**[05:23] Tomo**
Sasahara-san's a third-year
in the ceramics club, right?
**[05:27] Kokomi**
She's such an amazing person.
**[05:29] Kokomi**
She's kind, and has a soft, clean image,
like the wild flowers she's named after.
**[05:34] Kokomi**
She might not be that great at cooking,
**[05:36] ---**
and she panics easily,
**[05:39] Kokomi**
but that makes her even cuter.
**[05:43] Akane**
It's rare to hear you speak so frankly!
**[05:46] Akane**
You really admire her, huh?
**[05:48] Kokomi**
I guess so...
**[05:50] Akane**
I'm sure there are plenty of
girls who'd love to be you, too.
**[05:55] Matsuri**
Huh?
**[05:56] ---**
The Miss Seiou Contest?
**[06:00] Matsuri**
Oh, yeah. I saw the posters.
**[06:03] Akane**
What do you think your strengths are?
**[06:06] Matsuri**
I try to be fair and square in everything I do...
**[06:10] Matsuri**
I guess.
**[06:12] Akane**
That's great.
**[06:13] Matsuri**
Huh?
**[06:14] Matsuri**
You think so?
**[06:15] Akane**
Yeah.
**[06:16] Akane**
That's very fitting for you, Kagami-san,
since you're in the tennis club.
**[06:19] Saya**
Oh, I see the girls from the broadcast
committee are doing interviews.
**[06:24] Tomo**
Kagurazaka-senpai!
**[06:26] Akane**
Good timing.
**[06:27] Akane**
Kagurazaka-senpai, you're a favorite, too.
**[06:31] Akane**
Could you give us a comment?
**[06:33] Saya**
I should be saying the same.
**[06:35] Saya**
You're quite a favorite yourself.
**[06:38] Akane**
Huh?
**[06:39] Akane**
That's not true.
**[06:41] Akane**
Besides, I'm going to be the host.
**[06:46] Akane**
Well, I'm going to go
interview some other people,
**[06:49] ---**
so please excuse me.
**[06:51] Tomo**
Excuse us.
***SIGN*** Broadcast Room
**[06:55] Akane**
We need to make it a flashy and fun event.
**[06:58] Tomo**
You can do it, Akane-chan.
**[07:00] Akane**
Thank you, Tomo-chan.
**[07:01] Tomo**
Everyone seemed enthusiastic when
we took their comments, right?
**[07:07] Tomo**
I think it's because you were there.
**[07:10] Tomo**
You have the ability to draw
out the good in everyone.
**[07:18] Akane**
I hope so.
**[07:20] Akane**
Thank you, Tomo-chan.
**[07:25] Akane**
Thank you for coming here, everyone.
**[07:29] Akane**
We will now begin this year's
Miss Seiou Contest award ceremony.
**[07:35] Kinoko**
Clap, clap, clap.
**[07:37] Tomo**
Oh, Himejima-san.
**[07:39] Kinoko**
You're sure working hard.
**[07:41] Tomo**
Shinonome-san and the gang.
**[07:44] Akane**
You're about to have lunch?
**[07:45] Kinoko**
No, we ate already.
**[07:48] Kinoko**
We're about to have our forest tea party.
**[07:51] Tomo**
Forest tea party?
***SIGN*** Mushroom Forest
**[07:53] Kinoko**
We have Mushroom Forest
chocolates while we drink tea!
**[07:57] Michiru**
It's more a gathering of
people who aren't in clubs.
**[08:00] Nao**
We all go home after school,
**[08:02] Nao**
so she said we should get together
at lunch, for some reason.
**[08:10] ---**
It's such a pain. Why do we have to do this?
**[08:14] Kinoko**
A pain? Apologize to the Mushroom Forest!
**[08:17] Rei**
Huh?! What are you saying?
**[08:21] Tomo**
I don't really get what's going on,
**[08:22] Tomo**
but it sounds fun.
**[08:24] Akane**
But I wouldn't want to get in their way,
**[08:26] Akane**
so let's practice elsewhere.
**[08:28] Kinoko**
You can go ahead and
practice here if you want.
**[08:32] Rei**
Don't mind us.
**[08:34] Rei**
We'll just be eating snacks,
drinking tea, and goofing around.
**[08:38] Rei**
Seriously, why are we doing this?
**[08:40] Kinoko**
They're not just your average snacks!
**[08:41] Kinoko**
They're Mushroom Forest-sama!
**[08:43] Rei**
Why add "sama" to them?
**[08:45] Akane**
Then, if you have any advice for what
we could do better, can you let us know?
**[08:52] Kinoko**
You want us to?
**[08:55] Akane**
Okay, I'll keep going.
**[08:57] Kinoko**
Here, while we're at it. Eat, eat.
**[09:00] Tomo**
Thank you!
**[09:02] Tomo**
Oh, yeah.
**[09:03] Tomo**
I'll get some drinks in return.
**[09:05] Tomo**
We always have some ready in the broadcast room.
**[09:09] Tomo**
Hang on a second.
**[09:12] Akane**

**[09:38] Tomo**
I wonder if they're done counting the votes yet.
**[09:41] Akane**
Maybe.
**[09:42] Akane**
I guess we should be heading home.
**[09:45] Akane**
Yes?
**[09:47] Risa**
Sakurai-san.
**[09:48] Akane**
Oh, Shinomiya-san.
**[09:50] Akane**
Good work.
**[09:51] Risa**
I have something to talk to you about.
**[09:54] Akane**
What is it?
**[09:55] Risa**
I have to apologize,
**[09:58] Risa**
but could you step down as host?
**[09:59] Both**
What?
**[10:00] Tomo**
Why now?
**[10:02] Risa**
Actually...
**[10:03] Risa**
Sakurai-san has been chosen
as one of the winners.
**[10:07] Akane**
I won?
**[10:08] Risa**
So I'd like to have someone else be the host...
**[10:12] Akane**
Someone else...
**[10:15] Risa**
Oshii-san, could you do it?
**[10:18] Tomo**
No way!
**[10:19] Tomo**
I couldn't do it. I couldn't!
**[10:21] Tomo**
Someone from the student
council should do it.
**[10:23] Risa**
We have to attend to the winners backstage
and keep things running, so we can't.
**[10:29] Risa**
You really can't?
**[10:32] Akane**
Why don't you do it, Tomo-chan?
**[10:34] Tomo**
I couldn't...
**[10:35] Tomo**
There's no way!
**[10:37] Risa**
Okay, Oshii-san.
**[10:39] Risa**
You're the host.
**[10:42] Tomo**
What?!
**[10:45] Tomo**
What should I do?
**[10:46] Tomo**
I can't host a huge event like this.
**[10:50] Akane**
We already have the script.
**[10:51] Akane**
You just need the courage to do it.
**[10:53] Tomo**
I'm better at working behind the scenes.
**[10:56] Tomo**
I like it more, too.
**[10:58] Tomo**
I've never done anything but simple
lunchtime announcements, either.
**[11:03] Akane**
It'll be fine.
**[11:04] Tomo**
Huh?
**[11:05] Tomo**
It's not that simple!
**[11:09] Akane**
You really don't want to?
**[11:10] Tomo**
Huh?
**[11:11] Akane**
I'll decline my win, then.
**[11:14] Akane**
That way, I can still be the host.
**[11:21] Tomo**
I'm sorry.
**[11:22] Tomo**
I was only thinking of myself.
**[11:25] Tomo**
I didn't even congratulate you.
**[11:29] Tomo**
It's pretty amazing to place in
the Miss Seiou Contest, too.
**[11:34] Akane**
It's fine.
**[11:35] Tomo**
I have you do all the school broadcasts, too.
**[11:41] Akane**
You know,
**[11:42] ---**
I was actually thinking you
should do the announcements
**[11:46] ---**
and host the lunch broadcasts more often.
**[11:49] Akane**
I mean, hearing your voice cheers me up.
**[11:57] Tomo**
Okay!
**[11:59] Tomo**
I'll try it! I'll try hosting!
**[12:04] ---**
Girl Friend BETA.
**[12:11] Fumio**
I made this fried egg.
**[12:15] Fumio**
Would you like to try one?
**[12:17] Chloe**
Oui! I'll have one!
**[12:20] ---**
Here.
**[12:21] Tomo**
Um, what was I supposed to say?
**[12:23] Tomo**
Akane-chan, what was I supposed to say?
**[12:25] Akane**
*Tomo-chan, the mic's on.*
**[12:27] Tomo**
Huh? Oh, I got it.
**[12:28] Tomo**
H-Hello, everyone!
**[12:29] Tomo**
Ouch. That hurt.
**[12:31] Tomo**
I'm sorry.
**[12:33] Tomo**
It's time for the lunch broadcast!
**[12:36] Tomo**
And I, Tomo Oshii, will be your ha... your host...
**[12:42] Tomo**
I messed up.
**[12:43] Akane**
Calm down, Tomo-chan.
**[12:45] Tomo**
Uh, when this happens...
**[12:47] Tomo**
Oh, yeah! Push buttons!
**[12:48] Akane**
No, Tomo-chan—
**[12:54] Nao**
What was that?
**[12:56] Nao**
A crash?
**[12:58] Michiru**
Come to think of it, I heard Oshii-san
is going to host the beauty contest.
**[13:02] Rei**
Not Sakurai?
**[13:05] Kinoko**
According to the rumors,
Sakurai was selected as a winner.
**[13:09] Risa**
I wonder if this will be okay.
**[13:10] Mutsumi**
I don't know.
**[13:12] Kanata**
I'm sure it'll work out.
**[13:15] Tomo**
I can't host the ceremony like this.
**[13:19] Akane**
That's not true.
**[13:21] Akane**
Let's practice.
**[13:22] Akane**
Practice.
**[13:23] Tomo**
Practice?
**[13:25] Tomo**
The event is tomorrow!
**[13:27] Akane**
It'll be fine if we practice hard after school.
**[13:32] Tomo**
Th-Thank you for coming here, everyone.
**[13:37] Tomo**
W-We will now begin this year's
Miss Seiou Contest award ceremony.
**[13:47] Tomo**
Like this?
**[13:48] Akane**
Yeah. You're good.
**[13:50] Kinoko**
Good work.
**[13:53] Kinoko**
I see you're practicing hard.
**[13:55] Akane**
Huh?
**[13:55] Akane**
School's out, but you're still here?
Another gathering?
**[13:58] Kinoko**
No, today's different.
**[14:00] Michiru**
We wanted to cheer on Oshii-san.
**[14:03] Tomo**
Huh?
**[14:04] Rei**
You're going to host the beauty contest, right?
**[14:06] Nao**
We heard you'd be practicing after school.
**[14:10] Kinoko**
You brought us drinks last time, too.
**[14:14] Kinoko**
We wanted to thank you.
**[14:17] Kinoko**
Now, think of these mushrooms as your audience!
**[14:21] Rei**
Aren't you supposed to imagine
them as pumpkins, or something?
**[14:24] Tomo**
Thank you for staying after school just for me.
**[14:28] Tomo**
If I'm doing anything wrong, let me know.
**[14:31] Nao**
I think you should take a better posture.
**[14:34] Tomo**
R-Right.
**[14:36] Tomo**
Th-Thank you for coming here, everyone.
**[14:39] Rei**
You don't have to rush so much.
**[14:41] Rei**
You can take your time.
**[14:47] Tomo**
Thank you for coming here, everyone.
**[14:52] Michiru**
That sounds good.
**[14:52] Tomo**
We will now begin this year's
Miss Seiou Contest award ceremony.
**[15:02] Tomo**
I hope it goes well tomorrow.
**[15:05] Akane**
If you do it the way you
did today, you'll be fine.
**[15:07] Tomo**
But I'll be in front of the whole school.
**[15:12] Tomo**
I'm going to practice more when I get home.
**[15:18] Michiru**
I wonder if there's anything
we can do tomorrow,
**[15:21] Michiru**
to help out Oshii-san.
**[15:23] Rei**
Well, we did stay late and help her practice.
**[15:26] Rei**
We can't have her messing up tomorrow.
**[15:29] Kinoko**
Yeah. Maybe we should give
her some Mushroom Forest.
**[15:33] Akane**
Or a costume of that button
Oshii-san loves so much.
**[15:35] Risa**
What kind of costume is that?
**[15:39] Nao**
I've got a good idea.
**[15:41] All**
Huh?

Oh, Kagurazaka-senpai.
**[16:46] Akane**
Congratulations.
**[16:48] Saya**
So you were selected, as well.
**[16:50] Saya**
According to the school
newspaper, it was a sure thing.
**[16:53] Akane**
Huh? Really?
**[16:56] Akane**
I didn't even think I'd get selected.
**[17:00] Saya**
Well, just how unaware you are is
one of the nice things about you.

Thank you.

I like saying "thank you."
**[17:18] Fumio**
I don't know who voted for me,
**[17:22] Fumio**
but I'm thankful.
**[17:24] Fumio**
I'm worried about my speech, though.
**[17:27] Akane**
Why don't you say what you said just now?
**[17:30] Fumio**
I guess you're right.
**[17:32] Akane**
And you could add, "I'll be waiting
at the library," or something.
**[17:35] Fumio**
That's a good idea.
**[17:37] Fumio**
More students might come to borrow books then.
**[17:40] Chloe**
As expected, you're a pro at speaking, Akane-san.
**[17:51] Erena**
You all look so lovely.
**[17:53] Erena**
I'd like to have dinner with all of you someday.
**[17:58] Chloe**
That sounds great!
**[18:00] Erena**
When we do, let me take pictures of each of you!
**[18:03] Fumio**
Dinner and a photoshoot, huh?

**[18:19] Chloe**
Sakurai-senpai,
**[18:21] ---**
we can't find Oshii-senpai.
**[18:27] Akane**
Tomo-chan!
**[18:27] Mutsumi**
Oshii-senpai!
**[18:28] ???**
Oshii-san!
**[18:33] Mutsumi**
I told her to meet us at the gym
30 minutes before start time.
**[18:38] Risa**
Did she get scared and bail out?
**[18:41] Akane**
Tomo-chan wouldn't...
**[18:44] Akane**
Maybe she's...
**[18:51] Tomo**
Is everyone excited?!
**[18:54] Tomo**
Okay. It's time to announce this year's winners!
**[18:59] Akane**
Yeah!
**[19:01] Tomo**
Oh, Akane-chan.
**[19:04] Tomo**
You look so pretty!
**[19:06] Akane**
Thank you.
**[19:08] Akane**
So you've been practicing all this time.
**[19:10] Tomo**
Yeah.
**[19:11] Tomo**
I thought, as long as I'm doing this,
I should put my own energy into it.
**[19:17] Akane**
I'm glad.
**[19:18] Tomo**
Huh?
**[19:19] Akane**
I felt like I'd forced you out into the limelight,
**[19:22] Akane**
so I was worried that I'd stressed you out.
**[19:26] Akane**
You said you liked working behind the scenes, too.
**[19:30] Akane**
But you were making the hosting your own.
**[19:36] Akane**
That's great.
**[19:37] Tomo**
That's not it.
**[19:40] Tomo**
Everyone helped me practice.
**[19:43] Tomo**
I knew I had to do my best.
**[19:45] Tomo**
Plus,
**[19:47] ---**
I'm doing this in your place,
**[19:49] Tomo**
so I have to do a good job.
**[19:52] Akane**
Tomo-chan...
**[19:55] Tomo**
Oh, I have to go.
**[19:57] Tomo**
The ceremony's going to start.
**[19:59] Akane**
Oh, yeah.
**[20:01] Tomo**
Hang on.
**[20:04] Tomo**
It's hard to run in that dress, right?

I messed up.

**[22:02] Kanata**
Everyone's really getting into it this year, too.
**[22:05] Risa**
That's because Oshii-san
really worked the crowd.
**[22:09] Mutsumi**
It was a good event.
**[22:11] Tomo**
Now, let's have one more big round
of applause for the winners!

Japan has a saying,
**[24:11] ---**
"Goodbye triangle, come again square,"
**[24:14] ---**
that's similar to "see you later, alligator."
**[24:15] Chloe**
Why does the triangle get kicked out,
**[24:18] Chloe**
while the square gets invited back?
**[24:20] Chloe**
Next time: "Goodbye à la Mode."

**[00:15] Kyouko**
Okay, everyone,
**[00:17] Kyouko**
pencils down, please.
**[00:20] Youko**
Second semester finals are now over,
**[00:24] Youko**
but try not to slack off too much over break.
**[00:27] Kyouko**
With that, everyone,
**[00:28] Kyouko**
be careful not to catch any colds over break.
**[00:32] All**
Okay!
**[00:39] Kokomi**
All right!
**[00:42] Akane**
So for announcements, we have the
faculty's notice about counseling
**[00:45] Akane**
and the student council's solicitation for
donations to the year-end charity event.
**[00:49] Tomo**
And the new segment we started last week
**[00:52] ---**
has gotten all of this good feedback.
**[00:55] Tomo**
I guess
**[00:56] ---**
people want to hear heartwarming
stories when it gets cold out.
**[01:02] Akane**
Yeah...
**[01:04] Akane**
I think I can understand that.
**[01:12] Chloe**
What should I do?
**[01:15] Chloe**
I'm really up against a fall.
***SIGN*** Goodbye à la Mode
**[01:20] Akane**
Did you all do well on your finals?
**[01:22] Akane**
Try not to get sick now that the stress is off.
**[01:26] Akane**
Well, that's all for today.
**[01:27] Akane**
See you, bye-bye!
**[01:30] ---**
See you...
**[01:33] ---**
Chloe-san, what's wrong?
**[01:36] Chloe**
Yulia-san...
**[01:38] Yuria**
Did you not do well on your tests?
**[01:41] Chloe**
My tests?
**[01:43] Chloe**
No...
**[01:44] Chloe**
I'm not worried about the tests.
**[01:47] Yuria**
I know!
**[01:48] Yuria**
You're worried about Christmas, right?
**[01:50] Chloe**
Christmas?
**[01:52] Yuria**
It's hard to choose Christmas presents, isn't it?
**[01:56] Yuria**
Or maybe you can't decide what
to wear for the Christmas party?
**[02:01] Yuria**
It'll be our first Christmas at Seiou.
**[02:04] Yuria**
I'm so excited!
**[02:07] Yuria**
Chloe-san?
**[02:10] Chloe**
What were you talking about?
**[02:14] Yuria**
Christmas.
**[02:16] Chloe**
Oh, yeah,
**[02:18] Chloe**
it's Christmas...
**[02:23] Yuria**
Chloe-san?
**[02:28] Yuria**
Huh?
**[02:30] Mei**
Hey, Akiho-oneechan.
**[02:33] Mei**
I heard it's good to eat
pumpkin during winter.
**[02:36] Mei**
But...
**[02:37] ---**
What does winter have to do with pumpkins?
**[02:41] Akiho**
Oh, apparently,
**[02:43] ---**
pumpkins help make up the nutrients
your body tends to lack during winter.
**[02:47] Akiho**
That's why people in the past
**[02:48] ---**
associated pumpkins with winter,
and decided to eat them then.
**[02:53] Akiho**
But why bring that up, Mei?
**[02:56] Mei**
Chloe-san asked me yesterday,
but I didn't know the answer.
**[03:01] Mei**
Also, she wanted to know what
the ceremonial hamaya were for...
**[03:05] Akiho**
You're the daughter of a priest.
You should know that.
**[03:10] Mei**
I mean, I have a general idea, but...
**[03:14] Mei**
Oh, Chloe-san.
**[03:17] Mei**
I found out the answer to your pumpkin question.
**[03:22] Mei**
Chloe-san?
**[03:30] Erena**
Kokomi-chan.
**[03:32] Kokomi**
Mochizuki-senpai.
**[03:34] Erena**
Hey!
**[03:36] Erena**
So, did you think about what I asked you?
**[03:41] Kokomi**
I already said I didn't want to do it.
**[03:44] Erena**
Huh, really?
**[03:46] Erena**
You haven't changed your mind?
**[03:48] Kokomi**
No, I never will!
**[03:50] Emi**
Huh?
**[03:51] Emi**
What are you talking about?
**[03:53] Erena**
Nude—
**[03:56] Emi**
What?
**[03:58] Emi**
Oh, Chloe-san.
**[04:08] Emi**
Was that really Chloe-san?
**[04:11] Kokomi**
I thought it was...
**[04:17] Erena**
She looks down.
**[04:20] Erena**
I wonder if she's worried about something.
**[04:24] Fumio**
What's wrong, Chloe-san?
**[04:27] Chloe**
N-Nothing is wrong.
**[04:29] Fumio**
But...
**[04:31] Chloe**
I told you, nothing's wrong.
**[04:37] Kokomi**
Murakami-senpai.
**[04:40] Fumio**
Shiina-san.
**[04:41] Kokomi**
Did Chloe-san tell you anything?
**[04:45] Fumio**
No...
**[04:46] ---**
It was more like she was trying
to avoid talking to me.
**[04:49] Kokomi**
I knew it.
**[04:51] Fumio**
You knew what?
**[04:53] Kokomi**
Everyone's saying Chloe-san
has been acting strangely.
**[04:58] All**
Yeah...
**[04:58] Fumio**
That's worrying...
**[05:01] Fumio**
Oh, I know.
**[05:02] Fumio**
How about asking Sakurai-san?
**[05:08] Akane**
Oh, there you are, Chloe-senpai.
**[05:12] Chloe**
Akane-san...
**[05:13] Chloe**
Tomo-san...
**[05:14] Akane**
We came to interview you today.
**[05:18] Chloe**
Interview?
**[05:19] Akane**
Yeah!
**[05:20] Akane**
And we're on.
**[05:22] Akane**
It's a new segment we started last month.
**[05:25] Akane**
We have everyone talk freely on the subject of
**[05:28] ---**
words that left an impression on them.
**[05:31] Akane**
Chloe-senpai, what words have
left an impression on you?
**[05:35] Akane**
It can be something happy, serious, anything...
**[05:39] Chloe**
Uh...
**[05:42] Akane**
It can even be something
you're worried about lately.
**[05:46] Akane**
Are you worried about something right now?
**[05:50] Chloe**
Worried...
**[05:52] Akane**
Please, tell us!
**[05:57] Chloe**
I'm sorry.
**[05:58] Akane**
Huh?
**[06:02] Chloe**
I have nothing to talk about.
**[06:21] Akane**
I'm sorry I wasn't able to help.
**[06:24] Fumio**
No, it's okay. Don't worry about it.
**[06:28] Kokomi**
Um, I'll try asking her.
**[06:31] Fumio**
You will?
**[06:32] Kokomi**
My way might be a little forceful,
**[06:35] Kokomi**
but I think I can get it out of her.
**[06:38] Fumio**
Forceful?
**[06:40] Kokomi**
Yes.
**[06:40] Kokomi**
Mochizuki-senpai, could you help me out a bit?
**[06:44] Erena**
Huh?
**[06:45] ---**
Me?
**[06:48] Chloe**
What's going on, Erena-san?
**[06:50] Chloe**
I don't feel like hanging out today.
**[06:54] Erena**
Just come along. There's someone
who wants to talk to you, just for a bit.
**[07:01] Chloe**
Huh?
**[07:02] Chloe**
Kokomi-san?
**[07:05] Chloe**
What's wrong?
**[07:07] Chloe**
Why did you have me come here?
**[07:10] Kokomi**
Chloe-san, do you remember?
**[07:13] Kokomi**
I found the picture you dropped here.
**[07:17] Chloe**
Oui.
**[07:18] Kokomi**
You said you'd do something
for me in return, right?
**[07:23] (Flashback) Chloe**
I'll do whatever you want, Kokomi.
**[07:28] Kokomi**
I told you I'd think about it, right?
**[07:32] Chloe**
Oui.
**[07:34] Kokomi**
Well then, here's what I'd like to ask...
**[07:36] Kokomi**
Will you tell me what's worrying you?
**[07:41] Chloe**
I-I'm not worried about anything.
**[07:46] Kokomi**
In Japan, if you lie, an ogre
will pull out your tongue.
**[07:51] Chloe**
Non! I don't want that!
**[07:54] Kokomi**
Please tell me the truth, then.
**[08:05] Chloe**
The truth is, my family told
me to come back home.
**[08:10] Kokomi**
Huh? For New Year's?
**[08:13] Erena**
That's not really something
to be so worried about...
**[08:17] Chloe**
Non, they want me to leave Seiou,
**[08:21] Chloe**
and never come back to Japan!
**[08:25] All**
What?!
**[08:26] ---**
What?!
**[08:29] ---**
Huh?
**[08:31] Chloe**
I told them I didn't want to go, of course.
**[08:35] Chloe**
That I couldn't bear leaving.
**[08:39] Chloe**
But...
**[08:40] ---**
My family won't let me stay here.
**[08:45] Kokomi**
Why not?
**[08:46] Erena**
That's terrible.
**[08:48] Chloe**
They said it's too dangerous to
let me live alone in Japan.
**[08:52] Fumio**
But you came here when
you were in your first year.
**[08:57] Chloe**
I don't know why they decided
to do this now, either.
**[09:03] Chloe**
Don't look so sad, everyone.
**[09:06] Chloe**
I didn't say anything because
I didn't want to upset you.
**[09:09] Chloe**
But I made you all sad, after all.
**[09:17] Yuria**
Is it possible to convince your
parents to change their minds?
**[09:20] All**
Huh?
**[09:21] Yuria**
If they say it's dangerous for
Chloe-san to live here by herself,
**[09:25] Yuria**
then we just need to show them it's safe.
**[09:28] Akane**
In other words,
**[09:30] ---**
we convince them that Seiou
Academy is a wonderful place.
**[09:38] Akane**
I've got it!
**[09:39] Akane**
Let's have the film research club help us.
**[09:43] Yuzuki**
Okay,
**[09:43] ---**
we're ready to roll.
***SIGN*** Yuzuki Nozomi
**[09:49] Akane**
I'd like to introduce you to Seiou Academy.
**[09:54] Akane**
Students in our academy
**[09:56] ---**
take part in a variety of athletic clubs
**[09:59] ---**
including golf and billiards,
**[10:02] Akane**
as well as many fine arts clubs, like music and art.
**[10:08] Shinobu**
Seiou has both literary and
physical education programs,
**[10:11] Shinobu**
including several sports programs.
**[10:14] Shiori**
Our excellent facilities and equipment provide
a perfect environment for practicing.
**[10:19] Shuri**
Japan also has a very proud cultural heritage...
**[10:22] Isuki**
As well as many things to see.
**[10:35] Youko**
We teachers prioritize student safety
and student livelihood above all else.
**[10:41] Youko**
We stay in contact with our students' guardians,
**[10:44] Youko**
maintaining relationships of mutual trust.
**[10:50] Yuzuki**
Okay, cut!
**[10:57] Ichiba**
Murakami-senpai!
**[11:00] Fumio**
Yes?
**[11:01] All**
Please teach us how to
write a letter in French!
**[11:05] Fumio**
Um, why are you all here together?
***SIGN*** Kitties 5
**[11:10] Ichiba**
We are
**[11:11] ---**
members of Kitties 5!
**[11:14] Fumio**
Right...
**[11:15] Nao**
We heard about Chloe-san!
**[11:17] Hina**
Chloe-san comes to visit Erika a lot.
**[11:21] Yukie**
That's why we want to help Chloe-san!
**[11:24] Emi**
But we don't know any French
other than "oui" and "non"!
**[11:30] Fumio**
We might be able to write something
simple if we use a dictionary.
**[11:35] All**
We'll do it!
**[11:43] Yuzuki**
This might be one of the best movies that
the film research club has ever put together.
**[11:48] Yukie**
We all worked hard on it.
**[11:52] Chloe**
Everyone...
**[11:55] Chloe**
Merci!
**[11:59] Chloe**
Maybe they'll change their
minds when they see this.
**[12:15] ---**
Chloe-san?
**[12:24] Kokomi**
Um...
**[12:26] Chloe**
It didn't work.
**[12:31] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[12:34] Kokomi**
Why can't Chloe-san's family understand?
**[12:38] Dad**
I know how you all feel,
**[12:41] Dad**
but I also understand how
it feels to be a parent.
**[12:44] Kokomi**
Huh?
**[12:46] Dad**
They're not telling her to
come home just to be mean.
**[12:50] Dad**
Parents worry about their
children because they love them.
**[12:53] Kokomi**
But...
**[12:55] Dad**
There might be
**[12:56] ---**
something going on with their family, as well.
**[12:59] Dad**
You mustn't blame them.
**[13:02] Dad**
Besides, I'm sure Chloe-san is the one who
wishes she didn't have to go most of all.
**[13:07] Mom**
Instead of trying to force her to stay
**[13:11] Mom**
and making her feel even worse,
**[13:14] ---**
it might be better for you all to
just give her a nice send-off.
**[13:23] Kokomi**
So, it might be better if we tell her
**[13:25] ---**
that we can see each other again,
**[13:27] Kokomi**
instead of telling her to stay.
**[13:31] Akane**
That's true.
**[13:33] Akane**
Nowadays, we can talk on the internet, too.
**[13:36] Akane**
We'll only be apart for a little while.
**[13:39] Fumio**
You're right.
**[13:41] ---**
We can always go visit her in France, too.
**[13:45] Nonoka**
Hey, I know!
**[13:47] Nonoka**
Why don't we throw a farewell
party for Chloe-san?
**[13:50] Nonoka**
It's also Christmas, anyway.
**[13:52] Nonoka**
We can do it at my café.
**[13:54] Emi**
I'll take care of the entertainment!
**[13:57] Ichiba**
I'll help with the shopping.
**[13:58] Ichiba**
I can totally help carry stuff.
**[14:01] Hina**
You'll all want to dress up, right?
**[14:04] Hina**
Leave the hair and makeup to me!
**[14:05] Nao**
I might be able to borrow
a santa outfit from my work.
**[14:09] Nao**
Oh, the arts and crafts club can help, too.
**[14:12] Nonoka**
Let's make this a great party.
**[14:14] Nonoka**
For Chloe-san.
**[14:16] Akane**
All right.
**[14:17] Akane**
Let's start getting ready!
**[14:19] All**
Yeah!

**[15:02] Haruka**
Okay, see you tomorrow.
**[15:03] Momoko**
Look forward to hearing our new song.
**[15:07] Fumio**
Be careful on your way home.
**[15:09] All**
We will!
**[15:12] Fumio**
We should be going home, too.
**[15:15] Nonoka**
Yeah, we've finished the
preparations for all the food,
**[15:19] Nonoka**
and we're all done decorating.
**[15:22] Nonoka**
Now we just wait for—
**[15:24] Chloe**
Hi there.
**[15:25] Chloe**
I brought it.
**[15:30] Chloe**
Oh, très bien!
**[15:34] Akane**
Chloe-senpai.
**[15:35] Kokomi**
It wasn't cold out?
**[15:37] Chloe**
That's a beautiful tree.
**[15:39] Chloe**
Also,
**[15:41] Chloe**
it smells like butter in here.
**[15:43] Fumio**
It's such a pleasant smell.
**[15:46] ---**
We're going to bake croquembouche,
panettone, and galette.
**[15:51] Erena**
I guess I get to be the taste-tester.
**[15:53] Fumio**
You're so silly, Mochizuki-san.
**[15:57] Kokomi**
Other countries have so many
different kinds of sweets.
**[16:01] Akiho**
I guess Japan has ohagi.
**[16:04] Yuria**
I didn't like ohagi at first.
**[16:07] Yuria**
I couldn't get over the beans being sweet,
**[16:09] Yuria**
but I like them now.
**[16:15] Chloe**
Papa?
**[16:18] Chloe**
Hello,
**[16:19] ---**
Papa?
**[16:20] Chloe**
What's the matter?
**[16:22] Chloe**
I'm with my friends right now.
**[16:24] Chloe**
What?!
**[16:25] Chloe**
You're coming here?
**[16:27] Chloe**
Really?
**[16:29] Chloe**
Okay...
**[16:33] Kokomi**
What's wrong?
**[16:35] Chloe**
My papa's coming here.
**[16:39] All**
What?!
**[16:41] Erena**
No way. Why?
**[16:42] Erena**
Is he going to take you back home?!
**[16:45] Akane**
When?
**[16:46] Akane**
He's not going to take you
back right away, right?
**[16:49] Yuria**
We want to have the party tomorrow for you.
**[16:53] Akiho**
What should we do?
**[16:57] Fumio**
Everyone, calm down.
**[16:59] Nonoka**
Yeah, calm down.
**[17:01] Nonoka**
We should talk to him first.
**[17:04] Kokomi**
Y-You're right.
**[17:06] Nonoka**
Even if it's awkward,
**[17:08] ---**
Chloe-san's dad will be a valued guest.
**[17:12] Nonoka**
We should welcome him with all our hearts.
**[17:15] Akane**
You always know what to do, Sasahara-senpai!
**[17:17] Nonoka**
Hey, let's get him something
special to drink to welcome him.
**[17:22] Erena**
What should we do?
**[17:24] Akiho**
Do we have something?
**[17:25] Kokomi**
Sasahara-senpai, could you stand near the door?
**[17:29] Kokomi**
If you could greet him first...
**[17:36] Chloe**
Papa!
**[17:41] Chloe**
My sweet little girl.
**[17:42] Chloe**
Let me see you.
**[17:44] Chloe**
You look like you've been well.
**[17:49] Chloe**
Let me introduce you.
**[17:51] Chloe**
This is my father.
**[17:53] Dad**
I appreciate you all taking care of Chloe.
**[17:57] Dad**
Thank you for your letter and movie, as well.
**[18:02] Dad**
Chloe has such good friends.
**[18:05] Akane**
Um, why does Chloe-senpai have to go home?
**[18:10] Fumio**
S-Sakurai-san...
**[18:12] Erena**
We want to stay with Chloe-chan!
**[18:15] Yuria**
Please let her stay!
**[18:24] Dad**
Everyone, thank you for
caring so much for Chloe.
**[18:29] Dad**
But as her father,
**[18:31] ---**
I'm worried about Chloe living on her own.
**[18:38] Kokomi**
With all due respect, she has us.
**[18:41] Kokomi**
She won't be alone.
**[18:43] Erena**
Kokomi-chan is right.
**[18:45] Fumio**
What is it that makes you worry?
**[18:49] Fumio**
Seiou Academy is a safe place,
and a great environment.
**[18:53] Yuria**
I'm a transfer student,
as well, but I'm safe here.
**[18:57] Dad**
Being hit.
**[18:58] All**
Huh?
**[18:59] Fumio**
I've never heard of corporal
punishment at Seiou.
**[19:03] Dad**
108 times.
**[19:06] Dad**
When New Year's comes, they start
selling weapons on the street corners.
**[19:10] Dad**
You have to eat things
that could kill you, too.
**[19:16] Akane**
Did you tell your dad that, Chloe-senpai?
**[19:21] Chloe**
Oui, it's all true...
**[19:24] Fumio**
Wait, could you explain everything
to us from the beginning?
**[19:28] Fumio**
What does he mean about being hit?
**[19:31] ---**
To eliminate wicked feelings...
**[19:35] ---**
Wait... 108 times?
**[19:36] Akiho**
You mean the Buddhist New Year's bells?
**[19:40] All**
Huh?
**[19:41] Chloe**
Yes, that!
**[19:42] Erena**
But *you're* not the one getting hit...
**[19:45] Akane**
What's the weapon thing about, then?
**[19:47] Chloe**
Magical arrows to keep evil away!
**[19:53] Akiho**
You mean the hamaya?
**[19:56] Chloe**
And you put rope and bamboo spears in
front of your homes to keep demons out!
**[20:02] Fumio**
You mean shimenawa and kadomatsu,
the New Year's decorations, right?
**[20:07] Fumio**
Those aren't technically weapons...
**[20:09] Chloe**
And there's this "mochi" thing
that could kill you if you eat it!
**[20:16] Chloe**
They're so good that no one
would ever refuse one.
**[20:23] Dad**
Do you understand now?
**[20:25] Dad**
Of course her parents would
be worried about her.
**[20:32] Fumio**
We understand.
**[20:35] Fumio**
May we clarify the information
that Chloe-san has given you?
***SIGN*** Café Cosmos
**[20:41] Dad**
How can this be?!
**[20:44] Dad**
Then, there's no danger?
**[20:47] Fumi**
That's right.
**[20:48] ---**
For example, this is a fève,
a figurine that you put in a king cake.
**[20:53] Fumi**
Chloe lent it to me.
**[20:55] Fumi**
Just think of it as having Chloe
**[20:58] Fumi**
eat one of those cakes with this in it.
**[21:01] Dad**
I see.
**[21:03] ---**
So what she said was not wrong,
but not exactly right.
**[21:06] Dad**
Everyone, it seems I didn't
fully understand the situation.
**[21:10] Chloe**
Papa?
**[21:11] Dad**
Chloe,
**[21:14] ---**
it seems that you have not yet
fully grasped Japanese culture.
**[21:19] Chloe**
Oui...
**[21:21] Dad**
You should stay here longer and study.
**[21:25] Chloe**
Papa...
**[21:26] Kokomi**
So...
**[21:27] ---**
Does that mean Chloe-san doesn't have to leave?
**[21:31] Dad**
Yes. In fact, I cannot take her away now.
**[21:36] All**
Yay!
**[21:37] Chloe**
Papa... I can stay in Japan?!
**[21:42] Dad**
Oui.
**[21:45] Chloe**
Papa!
***SIGN*** Café Cosmos
**[21:57] Nonoka**
Okay, everyone look forward
to the party tomorrow.
**[22:01] Akane**
Remember, no being late.
**[22:05] Akiho**
Of course.
**[22:06] Erena**
Everyone, make sure you dress up.
**[22:09] All**
Right!
**[22:09] All**
Oui!
**[22:20] Yuria**
Sneg!

It's snowing!

**[00:02] Fumio**
Would you like to see the photos
Mochizuki-san took at the Christmas party?
***SIGN*** Winter Break Open Today Only
**[00:06] Kokomi**
Yes, I would.
**[00:07] Akane**
Me, too.
**[00:09] Fumio**
Here you go.
**[00:13] Akane**
It was a lot of fun.
**[00:16] Kokomi**
Yeah, it was.
**[00:17] Kokomi**
I'm glad Chloe-san didn't have to go home.
**[00:21] Fumio**
Everyone seemed to be having a great time.
**[00:25] Akane**
Neuron Cream Soft's performance
was really exciting, too.
**[00:32] Kokomi**
Though there was that scare with the cake.
**[00:38] Fumio**
Miyoshi-san and Chloe-san's
costumes were really cute.
**[00:43] Akane**
The gift exchange was fun, too.
**[00:55] Akane**
I want to get together with everyone again.
**[00:58] Kokomi**
Yeah.
**[00:59] Fumio**
Definitely.
**[01:00] Chloe**
Hi, there.
**[01:02] Chloe**
Fumio-san, lend me a book on New Year's, please.
**[01:06] Fumio**
A book on New Year's?
**[01:08] Yuria**
Christmas is gone from the town.
**[01:11] Yuria**
Everything is New Year's now.
**[01:13] All**
Huh?
**[01:15] Chloe**
In Europe, many people still have
their Christmas tree up in January.
**[01:21] Chloe**
But here, as soon as Christmas
is over, everything's gone.
**[01:26] Akane**
Wow, so that's what they do in Europe?
**[01:29] Fumio**
Wait just a moment.
**[01:34] Kokomi**
The New Year's mood is already everywhere.
**[01:37] Kokomi**
Including around town, and in TV commercials.
**[01:41] Fumio**
If you're interested in learning more
about New Year's, how about this?
**[01:49] Yuria**
There's a lot of kanji.
**[01:51] Yuria**
It looks a bit hard.
**[01:53] Fumio**
Maybe this one is too difficult for you two.
**[01:57] Kokomi**
Chloe-san, Yulia-san.
**[02:00] Kokomi**
Would you like to come to my
house for New Year's Eve?
**[02:03] Chloe/Yuria**
Your house?
**[02:06] Kokomi**
Yes. We don't do anything special,
**[02:09] Kokomi**
but you'd get to see a typical
Japanese New Year's that way.
**[02:14] Akane**
That's a good idea!
**[02:15] Akane**
Can I come, too?
**[02:17] Kokomi**
Yes, of course!
**[02:19] Akane**
Would you like to come, too, Murakami-senpai?
**[02:22] Fumio**
If it's not too much trouble.
**[02:24] Kokomi**
Of course not!
**[02:25] Kokomi**
Please, come over.
**[02:28] Both**
We can't wait!
***SIGN*** Girlfriend xxx
**[04:01] Both**
Kadomatsu!
**[04:03] Both**
Shimenawa!
**[04:07] Yuria**
Japanese culture is so wonderful!
**[04:14] Yuria**
It's my first time seeing
something so beautiful!
**[04:18] Yuria**
Très bien!
**[04:20] Kokomi**
Everyone puts these up for New Year's, though.
**[04:22] Akane**
Mochizuki-senpai couldn't come?
**[04:26] Akane**
I bet she would have loved to see you
two get so excited about kadomatsu.
**[04:30] Fumio**
I tried asking her, but...
**[04:33] (Flashback) Erena**
What?! I want to go!
**[04:36] (Flashback) Erena**
But I have something to do on New Year's Eve...
**[04:40] Fumio**
It seemed like she was too busy.
**[04:43] Kokomi**
That's too bad.
**[04:45] Kokomi**
Let's go inside.
**[04:47] All**
Sure.
**[04:51] Chloe**
Osechi!
**[04:54] Chloe**
This is fantastic.
**[04:56] Chloe**
It all looks so delicious.
**[05:00] Mom**
You flatter me, but thank you.
**[05:02] Mom**
So, you're curious about New Year's in Japan?
**[05:05] Both**
Yes.
**[05:06] Mom**
Do you know what this is?
**[05:09] Chloe**
A nice ornament?
**[05:12] Mom**
No, it's a, um... A racket.
**[05:18] Akane**
If you lose, you get an
"x" drawn on your face.
**[05:21] Yuria**
An "x"?
**[05:22] Fumio**
You get an "x" drawn on your
face with charcoal as a penalty.
**[05:28] Akane**
Murakami-senpai, I think Chloe-senpai is imagining
**[05:31] ---**
some sort of terrible misunderstanding
about Japanese culture again.
**[05:35] Yuria**
Like with the mochi.
**[05:38] Chloe**
I won't make that mistake again.
**[05:41] Mom**
There are also kites, and the iroha karuta game.
**[05:45] Mom**
And otedama.
**[05:48] Chloe**
You're just like Emi-san.
**[05:51] Mom**
Emi-san?
**[05:52] Mom**
You mean Sagara-san in Kokomi's class?
**[05:54] Kokomi**
That's right.
**[05:55] Kokomi**
She's really good at juggling.
**[05:58] Mom**
I see.
***SIGN*** Iroha Karuta
**[06:00] Mom**
Since we have so many people,
the iroha karuta game might be best.
**[06:04] Mom**
You'd also get to learn Japanese sayings.
**[06:06] Mom**
Let's all play.
**[06:08] All**
Sure!
**[06:11] Marika**
Harumiya-san, Kumada-san, your turn.
**[06:14] Ichiba**
All right!
**[06:14] Ichiba**
Sure.
**[06:18] Ichiba**
Hit it!
**[06:22] Tsugumi**
There we go.
**[06:24] R**
This really helps us out.
**[06:26] R2**
At our age, it's tough to do this.
**[06:29] R**
It's hard on the lower back, isn't it?
**[06:40] Ichiba**
There!
**[06:43] Tsugumi**
All right, that's good!
**[06:45] Marika**
Huh? It's done already?
**[06:49] Ichiba**
Never underestimate the stamina...
**[06:51] Tsugumi**
...of athletes.
**[06:59] Raimu**
Want some mochi?
**[07:01] Monochrome**
I will have some.
**[07:03] Monochrome**
Eating something as sticky as mochi is...
**[07:10] Marika**
Monochrome-chan!
**[07:12] Marika**
Did she choke?
**[07:13] Marika**
We need to clear her throat.
**[07:15] Raimu**
Nah, no need to worry.
**[07:19] Raimu**
Monochrome-chan doesn't breathe, anyway.
**[07:23] Raimu**
So she can't choke.
**[07:36] Monochrome**
...a first for me.
**[07:42] Chloe**
So cute!
**[07:44] Yuria**
So very cute!
**[07:45] Chloe**
You look like a doll.
**[07:47] Kokomi**
Don't look so closely!
**[07:49] Fumio**
Why try to hide them?
**[07:51] Akane**
Yeah, you're really cute.
**[07:55] Chloe**
I'm jealous.
**[07:57] Yuria**
I've never worn a kimono.
**[08:00] Chloe**
Neither have I.
**[08:02] Mom**
Oh, but you two would look great in a kimono.
**[08:06] Mom**
I'd love to help you put one on.
**[08:09] Chloe**
Non, non.
**[08:10] Chloe**
I couldn't.
**[08:12] Yuria**
It'd be too embarrassing.
**[08:13] Mom**
Oh, really?
**[08:15] Chloe**
It would.
**[08:16] Yuria**
Yes...
**[08:17] Mom**
How very modest.
**[08:19] Mom**
Just like a classical Japanese woman.
**[08:21] Kokomi**
Mom, didn't we have a kimono?
**[08:25] Mom**
We gave yours to our relatives.
**[08:28] Mom**
It was one from when you were small, anyway.
**[08:30] Mom**
It wouldn't fit.
**[08:32] Akane**
Oh, I know.
**[08:33] Akane**
Shiranui-san probably has lots of them.
**[08:37] Akane**
She said she spends her time at home in kimonos.
**[08:41] Fumio**
Why don't we ask her?
**[08:44] Isuzu**
I see.
**[08:46] Isuzu**
I wouldn't mind.
**[08:48] Fumio**
She said okay.
**[08:49] Akane**
Yay!
**[08:50] Chloe**
That's wonderful.
**[08:51] Kokomi**
I'm so glad.
**[08:52] Yuria**
Are you sure it's okay?
**[08:54] Isuzu**
Sure.
**[08:55] Isuzu**
I'll get out something that'll suit you two.
**[08:59] Haruko**
Isuzu-chan, what's going on?
**[09:01] Isuzu**
Turns out there's something I need to do.
**[09:04] Isuzu**
Help me out, Haruko.
**[09:06] Haruko**
Sure.
**[09:09] Mom**
Okay, be careful.
**[09:10] Mom**
Don't stay out too late.
**[09:13] All**
Okay!
**[09:15] Chloe**
What should we do after we go to
Isuzu-san's house and put on kimonos?
**[09:19] Fumio**
Our goal today is to teach you and
Yulia-san about the Japanese New Year,
**[09:26] Fumio**
so we should go to a temple, ring the
New Year's bell, and visit a shrine to pray.
**[09:31] Chloe**
Oui! That sounds like a lot of fun!
**[09:35] Akane**
We need to make sure you
completely understand what to do.
**[09:39] Akane**
Or you might get something mixed up again.
**[09:43] Chloe**
I'll be fine.
**[09:45] Chloe**
I'll get rid of my worldly desires.
**[09:49] Yuria**
"Worldly desires"? What's that?
**[09:52] Fumio**
Worldly desires are the worries and
desires that we have as humans.
**[09:57] Fumio**
We ring the New Year's bell in order
to rid ourselves of those desires.
**[10:01] Chloe**
You know everything, don't you, Fumio-san?
**[10:04] Chloe**
You're a walking encyclopedia.
**[10:09] Nonoka**
Welcome.
**[10:11] Saeko**
Hi, there.
**[10:13] Nonoka**
You've been shopping?
**[10:14] Shinobu**
Yeah.
**[10:15] Shinobu**
We've been through a lot.
**[10:18] Shinobu**
Remi said we should do New Year's stuff
for once, so we went to help,
**[10:22] Shinobu**
and she nearly messed up everything.
**[10:26] Remi**
Sorry about that.
**[10:28] Remi**
I wonder why everything turned out so bad.
**[10:31] Remi**
I was following the directions.
**[10:33] Shinobu**
You were?
**[10:34] Shinobu**
You weren't following the directions.
You kept making changes.
**[10:39] Shinobu**
Like using marmalade instead of sugar.
**[10:42] Remi**
I thought marmalade would be a good
substitute for the sugar and citrus.
**[10:46] Remi**
I wasn't wrong, was I?
**[10:47] Shinobu**
Well...
**[10:49] Nonoka**
Here you go.
**[10:50] Nonoka**
Tamai-san, I think using marmalade
for sugar is a great idea.
**[10:56] Nonoka**
I'll try it next time I have a chance.
**[10:59] All**
Huh?
**[11:02] Saeko**
Nonoka-san, what happened to the owner?
**[11:06] Nonoka**
He's out at a neighborhood
gathering to make mochi.
**[11:10] All**
Huh?
**[11:11] Saeko**
So, who's doing the cooking, then?
**[11:13] Nonoka**
No need to worry.
**[11:15] Nonoka**
I'll pour my heart and soul into your food!
**[11:20] G**
Nonoka, I'm back.
**[11:23] Nonoka**
Grandpa.
**[11:24] G**
Oh, hello.
**[11:25] G**
What's that?
**[11:26] G**
Are you guys after the neighborhood
specialty, our roasted soybean mochi?
**[11:31] G**
We just finished making it, so it's tasty.
**[11:35] All**
We'll take it!
**[11:39] Momoko**
Yuzu-chan, eating New Year's
soba here at your house
**[11:41] Momoko**
really makes it feel like the year's end.
**[11:43] Yuzuko**
Really?
**[11:44] Haruka**
You two have known each other forever.
**[11:46] Haruka**
Do you always spend New Year's together?
**[11:48] Both**
Yeah.
**[11:49] Sumire**
Is it okay to leave your parents alone?
**[11:52] Momoko**
It's cold, so they said they'd just
get some food delivered.
**[11:57] Nagiko**
Isn't that Yukawa-san?
**[11:59] Nagiko**
From Haruka's class.

**[12:26] Haruka**
It is cold out.
**[12:28] Haruka**
Kakesoba would warm you up better.
**[12:30] Yuzuko**
People in the Edo period used to eat morisoba.
**[12:34] Sumire**
What? Really?
**[12:36] Sumire**
I didn't know that.
**[12:38] Kurumi**
Also, kakesoba makes you
have to go to the bathroom.
**[12:42] Kurumi**
I don't want that during the New Year's concert.
**[12:45] Nagiko**
That doesn't happen to me.
**[12:47] Kurumi**
You traitor!
**[12:49] Nagiko**
That's being a bit dramatic.
**[12:51] Yuzuko**
Well, whatever kind of soba you have,
it'll get soggy if you don't eat it now.
**[12:58] All**
Thank you for the meal.
**[13:01] Haruka**
A lot happened this year, but...
**[13:05] Nagiko**
Next year...
**[13:06] Sumire**
Let's have...
**[13:08] All**
...another great year!
**[13:15] Michiru**
Senpai, want to stop for some soba?
**[13:18] Chidzuru**
I'd like to, but I don't have the money.
**[13:21] Michiru**
Huh? You weren't able to sell enough?
**[13:24] Chidzuru**
No, I saw so much stuff that was nice this year.
**[13:30] Chidzuru**
I ended up buying it all.
**[13:32] Michiru**
That's... nice, I think...
Or maybe I should offer condolences...
**[13:37] Chidzuru**
Yeah...
**[13:42] Chidzuru**
Compared to a fulfilled heart,
an empty stomach is nothing!
**[13:48] Michiru**
I'd like to treat you,
**[13:52] Michiru**
but I put a lot into my cosplay this year.
**[13:59] Chidzuru**
Wait a second.
**[14:00] Chidzuru**
Something smells good.
**[14:05] Chidzuru**
Oh? Himejima-chan and...
**[14:08] Michiru**
Shinonome-san, too!
**[14:10] Kinoko**
Yo.
**[14:11] Rei**
Yeah.
**[14:12] Kinoko**
So, how was this year?
**[14:15] Chidzuru**
We sold a lot, and we bought a lot.
**[14:20] R**
You two, have some sweet red bean soup.
**[14:22] Both**
Sure!
**[14:25] Both**
Let's eat.
**[14:29] Michiru**
This is great!
**[14:30] Chidzuru**
It warms me up.
**[14:32] Michiru**
Oh, Shinonome-san and Himejima-san,
**[14:36] Michiru**
you're not going to participate in ComiCon?
**[14:38] Michiru**
Isn't it full of stuff you like?
**[14:41] Kinoko**
Nah, I don't have the stamina.
**[14:43] Rei**
I don't like being around that many people.
**[14:46] Kinoko**
I went to get some food from Shinonome's
house today because I felt lazy,
**[14:51] Kinoko**
and she didn't have anything,
even though it's New Year's Eve.
**[14:54] Kinoko**
You really don't have it together.
**[14:56] Rei**
It's pretty weird to come to someone else's
house to get food on New Year's Eve, too.
**[15:00] Kinoko**
Birds of a feather.
**[15:02] Chidzuru**
I don't think that's something you
get to say about each other.
**[15:06] Rei**
I'd rather not be lumped in with her at all.
**[15:11] ---**
Girl Friend BETA.
**[15:15] Chloe**
What a very Japanese-style house.
**[15:18] Chloe**
How wonderful.
**[15:20] Haruko**
Welcome.
**[15:22] Haruko**
We're ready.
**[15:25] Haruko**
Come on in.
**[15:26] Yuria**
Yumesaki-san, why are you here?
**[15:29] Haruko**
We've been friends since we were young.
**[15:32] Haruko**
We always spend New Year's together.
**[15:46] Yuria**
Is this some sort of art exhibit?
**[15:50] Isuzu**
No, I just put together some kimonos
I thought would look good on you guys.
**[15:54] Chloe**
I feel like my life is flashing before my eyes.
**[15:58] Fumio**
Chloe-san, I think you mean this is
the happiest moment in your life.
**[16:04] Chloe**
Oh, sorry. This is the
happiest moment in my life!
**[16:08] Chloe**
I feel great.
**[16:10] Isuzu**
That's good to hear.
**[16:14] Isuzu**
Chloe-san, how about this one?
**[16:17] Isuzu**
I think it'd look great on you.
**[16:19] Fumio**
They're all lovely. It's hard to choose.
**[16:21] Akane**
It's hard to match patterns with everyday clothes.
**[16:25] Akane**
I wonder why they look so pretty
when they're on a kimono.
**[16:28] Kokomi**
That's so true.
**[16:31] Yuria**
I like this one.
**[16:33] Isuzu**
I see.
**[16:34] Isuzu**
You've got good sense.
**[16:36] Isuzu**
That's the one I'd recommend the most.
**[16:38] Akane**
Yeah, that one's really nice.
**[16:41] Chloe**
I feel like a sazare-ishi (a pebble).
**[16:44] Isuzu**
Sazare-ishi?
**[16:45] Haruko**
You mean the national anthem?
**[16:47] Akane**
You mean it feels like Japan?
**[16:50] Chloe**
No!
**[16:52] Chloe**
There's a story about sisters who get
to wear beautiful things together.
**[16:58] Fumio**
You mean the book Sasameyuki?
**[17:01] Chloe**
Th-That was it!
**[17:03] Chloe**
I'm making a lot of mistakes today.
**[17:06] Chloe**
I guess I'm too excited.
**[17:11] Isuzu**
Okay, let's get those two dressed up.
**[17:17] Fumio**
Hello?
**[17:18] Fumio**
Mochizuki-san?
**[17:19] Erena**
I'm almost done here,
**[17:22] Erena**
so I'd like to meet up with you if I can.
**[17:25] Erena**
Bye.
**[17:27] Fumio**
You heard her.
**[17:32] Rino**
It's cold.
**[17:36] Rino**
Oh, she's here!
**[17:37] Rino**
Satoru-kun!
**[17:43] Satoru**
Sorry, Suzukawa-senpai.
**[17:45] Satoru**
My brother kept saying he wanted to come.
**[17:47] Rino**
Maybe you should have just brought him.
**[17:51] Satoru**
I can't. He's got a cold right now.
**[17:54] Rino**
I see.
**[17:56] Rino**
It'd be bad if he were out
in the cold and got worse.
**[17:59] Satoru**
Also, I wouldn't want you to catch his cold.
**[18:05] Rino**
Let's get going, Satoru-kun.
**[18:13] Rino**
There's already quite a line.
**[18:17] Satoru**
Yeah.
**[18:19] Satoru**
It's pretty.
**[18:20] Rino**
Yeah.
**[18:24] Chloe**
Rino-san?
**[18:26] Rino**
This is Satoru-kun.
**[18:28] Satoru**
My name is Kimijima.
**[18:30] Fumio**
Hello.
**[18:31] Kokomi**
Did you come here to ring
the New Year's bell?
**[18:34] Satoru**
Yeah.
**[18:35] Rino**
Is this your first time ringing the bell?
**[18:38] Both**
Yes.
**[18:39] Chloe**
I'm excited!
**[18:41] Chloe**
I'm going to get rid of my worldly desires!
**[18:50] Akio**
I can hear the temple's bell.
**[18:53] Akio**
We should get going.
**[18:56] Mei**
Hold on a second.
**[18:57] Mei**
I got in a hurry and made things worse.
**[19:04] Akio**
Let me see.
**[19:06] Akio**
You're a daughter of the shrine priest.
**[19:08] Akio**
You can't be like this forever.
**[19:10] Mei**
Thanks for everything, Akio-oneechan.
**[19:13] Akio**
Jeez, you're hopeless.
**[19:16] Chloe**
Take that!
**[19:20] Erena**
It's pretty late now.
**[19:22] Erena**
I need to hurry and find everyone.
***SIGN*** Candy Apples 300 yen
**[19:41] Yuria**
Chloe-san, what's the difference
between a temple and a shrine?
**[19:45] Chloe**
You ring the bell at the temple,
**[19:47] Chloe**
and at the shrine, there are lots of stalls.
**[19:50] Yuria**
Really?
**[19:51] Fumio**
It has more to do with the difference
between Buddhism and Shinto,
**[19:57] Fumio**
but I guess we can discuss that later.
**[20:00] Chloe**
Oh, the arrows that pierce demons!
**[20:04] Kokomi**
Hey, Chloe-san...
**[20:06] Akio**
Thank you very much.
***SIGN*** Fortunes
**[20:09] Chloe**
How wonderful!
**[20:11] Akio**
Oh? Chloe.
**[20:12] Chloe**
Good evening, Akio-san, Mei-san.
**[20:16] Mei**
You came to our shrine for
your first visit of the year?
**[20:20] Chloe**
Oui.
**[20:21] Chloe**
I got rid of my worldly desires just a minute ago.
**[20:25] Mei**
Oh, you mean the New Year's bell, right?
**[20:28] Akio**
We've still got some time
before the new year starts.
**[20:31] Akio**
How about drawing a fortune?
***SIGN*** Fortunes
**[20:33] Akio**
A fortune?
**[20:35] Fumio**
It's a fortune that tells you if you're
going to have good or bad luck next year.
**[20:39] Yuria**
I see.
**[20:41] Akane**
I want one.
**[20:43] Kokomi**
Me, too.
**[20:45] Fumio**
"You'll be rewarded if you
focus on your studies."
**[20:50] Fumio**
Good.
**[20:51] Yuria**
How do you read this?
**[20:54] Akane**
"Good people come from afar."
**[20:57] Akane**
It might be about love, Yulia-san.
**[20:59] Yuria**
What? Love?
**[21:02] Kokomi**
"What you're looking for is right beside you."
**[21:06] Kokomi**
What does yours say, Chloe-san?
**[21:09] Chloe**
"Even if a storm comes, it will end."
**[21:12] Chloe**
This means everything
works out in the end, right?
**[21:16] Kokomi**
That's what happened this Christmas.
**[21:19] Chloe**
Yeah, you're right!
**[21:21] Chloe**
I'm sure something good will
happen next year, then!
**[21:25] Akio**
It's almost the new year.
**[21:31] Chloe**
10, 9...
**[21:33] Rino/Satoru**
8!
**[21:34] Neuron**
7!
**[21:36] Isuzu/Haruko**
6!
**[21:37] Ichiba/Tsugumi**
5!
**[21:39] Nonoka**
4!
**[21:40] Kinoko/Rei**
3!
**[21:42] Erena**
2!
**[21:43] All**
1!
**[21:46] Chloe**
Happy New Year!
**[21:50] All**
Happy New Year!
**[22:06] Kokomi**
Chloe-san.
**[22:07] Chloe**
Hm?
**[22:08] Kokomi**
I asked you to tell me what was
bothering you before, right?
**[22:13] Chloe**
Yeah.
**[22:14] Kokomi**
I have one more thing I want to ask you.
**[22:17] Kokomi**
Is that okay?
**[22:18] Chloe**
Hm? Sure.
**[22:21] Kokomi**
I'd like to spend New Year's
with you next year, too.
**[22:27] Chloe**
Of course!
**[24:01] Erena**
Okay, I'm taking it.
