**[00:20] ---**
From Sena?
**[00:21] ---**
Okay...
**[00:23] ---**
"About the Kobato-mas party!
**[00:26] ---**
We're going to Nagaya together
on Sunday to buy her presents!"
**[00:32] ---**
Sunday, huh? Well, I don't
have anything planned...
**[00:36] ---**
"OK. We'll meet Sunday at 1:00 in
the waiting area at Toya Station."
**[00:44] ---**
"Shiguma Rika"
**[00:45] ---**
"Aaah!
**[00:46] ---**
Rika feels Eros coming from the
quietly towering telephone poles!
**[00:50] ---**
She wants to be tied up!
She wants to do the deed!
**[00:53] ---**
But when she thinks about it, being
taken from behind could work too!"
**[00:58] ---**
"Shut. Up."
**[01:00] ---**
"Read it vertically!"
**[01:02] ---**
Vertically?
**[01:04] ---**
"Let's--go on--a date--tomorrow."
**[01:10] ---**
"No."
**[01:11] ---**
"Please! I want you to help me pick
out a present for Kobato-*san*."
**[01:16] ---**
Then just write *that*.
**[01:19] ---**
"For the esteemed Mr. Hasegawa Kodaka.
**[01:23] ---**
Dear Mr. Hasegawa Kodaka,
**[01:26] ---**
I hope you are well during
this pleasant fall season.
**[01:33] ---**
Please forgive me for the
suddenness of this letter.
**[01:38] ---**
I'm terribly sorry to trouble you
when you are surely very busy,
**[01:41] ---**
but I take pen in hand now because there
is something I feel I must ask you.
**[01:48] ---**
I shall make so bold as to
come straight to the point.
**[01:53] ---**
What should I give to your honored sister?
**[01:57] ---**
With my best wishes for your health and--"
**[02:00] ---**
That opening was too long!
**[02:04] ---**
"Don't worry if you're busy or whatever.
**[02:06] ---**
I want you to help pick
a present for your sis.
**[02:08] ---**
You, too?
**[02:09] ---**
Tomorrow would be best since
there's not much time,
**[02:12] ---**
but whatever, I don't *need* you to be there,
**[02:14] ---**
And it's gratuitously long...
**[02:16] ---**
so don't worry if you're busy or whatever.
**[02:17] ---**
More like, why all the "whatever"s?
**[02:17] ---**
It's not like I can't pick
a present or whatever."
**[02:21] ---**
Eh, fine.
**[02:31] ---**
Yo.
**[02:33] ---**
The train bound for Nagaya is
approaching platform three.
**[02:34] ---**
Looks like everybody's here.
**[02:36] ---**
Please stay behind the line for your safety.
**[02:37] ---**
Okay, let's go, I guess.
**[02:55] ---**
*Be My Friend*
**[02:56] ---**
*Yeah, you played dumb*
**[02:59] ---**
*Be My Side*
**[03:00] ---**
*But I saw right through you*
**[03:02] ---**
*I'll walk another step toward your side*
**[03:06] ---**
*I bet I can even reach your hand*
**[03:14] ---**
"Haganai NEXT"
**[03:15] ---**
*It's more than I imagined--every
day's a roller coaster*
**[03:20] ---**
*I always barreled ahead with everything I had*
**[03:28] ---**
*Our time won't last forever, now will it?*
**[03:35] ---**
*Now is all we have, so let's make
sure we remember this moment*
**[03:42] ---**
*Be My Friend*
**[03:43] ---**
*Yeah, you played dumb*
**[03:45] ---**
*Be My Side*
**[03:46] ---**
*But I saw right through you*
**[03:48] ---**
*I'll walk another step toward your side*
**[03:53] ---**
*So I can take your hand*
**[03:55] ---**
*Be My Friend*
**[03:56] ---**
*Yeah, I'm always gazing at the sky*
**[03:58] ---**
*Be My Side*
**[03:59] ---**
*But I'm still drawn to it*
**[04:02] ---**
*One more time! I'll reach out
to you as many times as you need*
**[04:06] ---**
*I bet I can even reach that star*
**[04:13] ---**
"He's My Brother, But As Long As There's Love,
It Doesn't Matter If He Gets More Sisters, Right?"
**[04:15] ---**
You sit too, Yozora. Over here.
**[04:17] ---**
I don't care about sitting!
**[04:19] ---**
What are Meat and the others doing here?!
**[04:21] ---**
Oh, sorry, I guess I forgot to tell you.
**[04:25] ---**
We're all buying Kobato a present,
**[04:28] ---**
so bringing people isn't a problem, right?
**[04:30] ---**
Sure, but this doesn't sit right with me.
**[04:33] ---**
Especially the part where you really
don't seem to think anything of it.
**[04:36] ---**
What did I do?
**[04:38] ---**
Forget it, idiot!
**[04:39] ---**
Rika had a feeling this might happen...
**[04:43] ---**
We must know when we're beaten, everyone.
**[04:45] ---**
I quite agree, Rika-*dono.*
**[04:48] ---**
Rika wonders: is this obliviousness real?
**[04:52] ---**
Or has he deliberately
embraced obliviousness?
**[04:56] ---**
Rika?
**[04:57] ---**
Oh, it's nothing! Rika simply thought,
"He's as fascinating as ever."
**[05:01] ---**
Excuse me?
**[05:02] ---**
And are you wearing the
uniform and lab coat *again*?
**[05:05] ---**
Is there something strange about that?
**[05:07] ---**
You're obsessed with your hair lately,
but you don't care about your clothes.
**[05:11] ---**
It's majorly weird.
**[05:13] ---**
I mean, today you randomly got highlights
to make your hair look fuller.
**[05:17] ---**
R-Rika didn't expect you to notice so much.
**[05:19] ---**
Not bad, Sempai.
**[05:22] ---**
But Rika feels like there isn't much
point in worrying about her clothes.
**[05:26] ---**
It's not like her efforts would help, since
you ignore her even when she's stripping...
**[05:30] ---**
But Rika's cute on the outside,
**[05:32] ---**
so I think cute clothes would look
as good on her as anyone else...
**[05:38] ---**
Huh? Wait, did I say that out loud again?
**[05:40] ---**
Yes, loud and clear!
**[05:43] ---**
By the way, Sena-*sempai*.
**[05:45] ---**
What?
**[05:46] ---**
Rika thought she'd look at some
clothes, since we're shopping.
**[05:49] ---**
Do you have any stores you recommend?
**[05:52] ---**
Y-You want my recommendations?
**[05:54] ---**
Yes! You're stylish, so Rika
would like to learn from you.
**[05:58] ---**
Um... I-I don't go to Nagaya that often,
**[06:03] ---**
and I usually use posh name-brand shops
near my house, so I can't really...
**[06:07] ---**
There's nothing near your house
but mountains and rice fields.
**[06:11] ---**
Sena-*sempai*...
**[06:12] ---**
Sena-*anego*...
**[06:16] ---**
I'm sorry. I lied. I have
Stella buy all my clothes,
**[06:20] ---**
and she does my hair and makeup, too.
**[06:23] ---**
What was that for?! You're pissing me off!
**[06:26] ---**
A femininity power of
just 5, huh? What trash.
**[06:29] ---**
A Scouter?
**[06:30] ---**
While we're at it, where do
you buy yours, Yozora-*sempai*?
**[06:33] ---**
On the internet.
**[06:34] ---**
I find a model in a fashion
magazine or the store site
**[06:38] ---**
and just buy her whole outfit.
**[06:39] ---**
Rika is jealous that you look good
dressed straight out of a fashion mag!
**[06:44] ---**
You're ultra-cute today, too.
**[06:46] ---**
"Cute," you say?!
**[06:48] ---**
Yep! Very feminine, very sexy-cute.
**[06:52] ---**
"Feminine"?
**[06:54] ---**
"Sexy... cute"...?
**[07:01] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[07:02] ---**
That can't be! This was in the "How
to Rock the Boyish Look" section!
**[07:07] ---**
Yozora-*sempai*...
**[07:08] ---**
Listen, Yozora, a "boyish" look
doesn't actually equal a mannish one.
**[07:17] ---**
It's just a technique to draw
out your girlish cuteness
**[07:20] ---**
by mixing in some pieces
with an androgynous feel.
**[07:23] ---**
More like, anyone paying attention to
the outside world would notice that!
**[07:26] ---**
Not a lot of men walk around exposing
their thighs and belly buttons!
**[07:31] ---**
But... I've never cared how
any other man dresses...
**[07:35] ---**
Huh?
**[07:36] ---**
N-Nothing!
**[07:46] ---**
I'm going to do some other shopping.
Kodaka, you can't come with me!
**[07:50] ---**
That's fine, but will you
be okay in the crowds?
**[07:52] ---**
Rika will come with you.
**[07:55] ---**
I see...
**[07:57] ---**
Yukimura, would you mind going
with Yozora and Rika in my place?
**[08:01] ---**
Look after them so they don't collapse
when they're surrounded by people.
**[08:04] ---**
Yes, Aniki. Leave it to me.
**[08:08] ---**
We'll be going, then.
**[08:10] ---**
Okay, thanks.
**[08:13] ---**
So, how about the two of us
just kind of look around?
**[08:20] ---**
Yeah!
**[08:26] ---**
Hey, Kodaka, what kind of present would
up my approval rating with Kobato-*chan*?
**[08:31] ---**
Probably FMN goods, right?
**[08:33] ---**
Well, she's pretty much got
everything she wants already...
**[08:36] ---**
Oh, and please don't get
anything too expensive.
**[08:40] ---**
Huh. You're a surprisingly
responsible guardian.
**[08:45] ---**
What *would* be good, then?
**[08:47] ---**
What about something you'd like?
**[08:50] ---**
That would be Kobato-*chan*, of course!
**[08:52] ---**
You can't have her!
**[08:54] ---**
Hey, I just found something that
Kobato-*chan* would 100% like.
**[08:58] ---**
What?
**[08:59] ---**
Meat.
**[09:01] ---**
Not Meat as in you, meat as in food!
**[09:03] ---**
I know that, sheesh.
**[09:06] ---**
She loves anything with meat in it,
**[09:08] ---**
so she's sure to like
it if you give her meat.
**[09:10] ---**
But raw food is a questionable
choice for a birthday present.
**[09:15] ---**
I can't believe *Sena* just
corrected *my* common sense...
**[09:18] ---**
Well, let's save that for a last
resort, and keep looking a little--
**[09:22] ---**
Wh-Whoa, wait a second!
**[09:24] ---**
What is it?
**[09:25] ---**
Th-This is...
**[09:29] ---**
Honestly, why should I have to keep
*you* company shopping for a whole hour?
**[09:34] ---**
Normally it's the opposite!
**[09:36] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[09:37] ---**
And I don't see what's so fun
about looking at frying pans.
**[09:40] ---**
Whoa, there, D-fol pans aren't just any pans!
**[09:44] ---**
And I'll tell you exactly why!
**[09:45] ---**
Not necessary.
**[09:50] ---**
You really are sort of weird, aren't you?
**[09:54] ---**
What's wrong with liking cookware?
**[09:56] ---**
It's not like that's your only issue, idiot.
**[10:00] ---**
Anyway, Yozora and the others
are taking forever...
**[10:02] ---**
Girls always take forever to shop.
**[10:06] ---**
That's what gal games say.
**[10:08] ---**
You learned that from a game?
**[10:11] ---**
Say, what do you think of
Yozora and Rika and Yukimura?
**[10:16] ---**
What do you mean?
**[10:20] ---**
Jeez, you're just so... Oh, never mind.
**[10:25] ---**
So, don't you want a girlfriend or anything?
**[10:28] ---**
I guess I don't *not* want one...
**[10:31] ---**
That's not very definite.
**[10:33] ---**
Well, for now my goal is friends.
**[10:36] ---**
A boring guy with no friends can't
get a girlfriend anyway, right?
**[10:42] ---**
I don't think that's true.
**[10:45] ---**
Hmm?
**[10:45] ---**
Jeez, you're just so...
**[10:48] ---**
Oh, never mind!
**[10:51] ---**
Why do you keep saying that?
**[10:54] ---**
Oh, right, Sena--
**[10:56] ---**
Um... Wh-What do you think about the fact
that Yozora and I used to be friends?
**[11:03] ---**
Hmm...
**[11:05] ---**
I guess I panicked a little
when I first found out,
**[11:09] ---**
but when I thought it over, I
figured it doesn't matter much.
**[11:12] ---**
D-Doesn't *matter*?
**[11:14] ---**
I mean, it's in the past, right?
**[11:16] ---**
What's important is the present.
**[11:19] ---**
Maybe so.
**[11:21] ---**
Well, not that I know what
Yozora's intentions are.
**[11:25] ---**
About what?
**[11:26] ---**
Nothing.
**[11:28] ---**
I'm just saying I don't
think I'll lose, that's all.
**[11:34] ---**
Also, Kodaka--and this is important,
so make sure you remember it.
**[11:41] ---**
Anybody *I* like obviously can't be boring!
**[11:50] ---**
Wh-What do you think, Kodaka-*sempai*?
**[11:52] ---**
I bought exactly what the clerk recommended.
**[11:55] ---**
Um, well, it's... It's like, "Huh,
Rika pulls it off when she tries."
**[12:00] ---**
Rika will choose to take
that as a compliment.
**[12:05] ---**
What do you think of me? I
received these from Yozora*-anego.*
**[12:10] ---**
Whoa, Yukimura, not bad!
**[12:13] ---**
E-Er, they look nice on you.
**[12:16] ---**
Thank you, Aniki.
**[12:18] ---**
And then there's...
**[12:20] ---**
Look, you...
**[12:23] ---**
You're... you're just
so... I can't believe you!
**[12:27] ---**
Shut up, Meat. I don't
feel good, so keep quiet.
**[12:31] ---**
A track suit...
**[12:32] ---**
I found it at a sports store.
What's wrong with it?
**[12:36] ---**
Anyway, this neighborhood isn't for me.
**[12:39] ---**
I'll grab a present from
a store near my place.
**[12:42] ---**
Huh?!
**[12:43] ---**
Rika's sorry, but she
wants to go home now too.
**[12:46] ---**
Excuse me?!
**[12:47] ---**
Sorry, Sena, but my bags are heavy and
I don't want to walk around with them.
**[12:50] ---**
H-Hey!
**[12:52] ---**
I shall accompany you, Aniki.
**[12:53] ---**
Jeez, you're all so... Why
are you all such sad cases?!
**[12:58] ---**
"King" "Horse"
**[13:05] ---**
Yep, perfect! I'm amazing.
**[13:08] ---**
But this whole thing is a little lame
for Kobato-*chan*'s birthday party.
**[13:14] ---**
Well, we don't actually know what
a normal birthday party looks like.
**[13:18] ---**
I figure it's about right.
**[13:19] ---**
Incidentally, Aniki, what should
one do at a birthday party?
**[13:24] ---**
Hmm, hand over presents and eat cake, right?
**[13:28] ---**
But then what do you do?
**[13:30] ---**
Perhaps everyone plays a game after that.
**[13:33] ---**
We don't have any besides Meat's gal
games and Rika's computer games.
**[13:37] ---**
Doing that as a group doesn't sound fun...
**[13:37] ---**
Oh, please. Sheesh, is she nervous?
**[13:39] ---**
Rika supposes we should've prepared a game.
**[13:42] ---**
She doesn't have any analog
games in her lab...
**[13:45] ---**
Then we'll go to the nearest toy
store and buy one. Like Twister!
**[13:49] ---**
Why Twister?
**[13:53] ---**
If you're already at the door,
you should just get in here!
**[14:00] ---**
Happy birthday, Kobato-*chan*!
**[14:06] ---**
I thought I should try popping mine.
**[14:08] ---**
Okay, then!
**[14:11] ---**
What is this?
**[14:13] ---**
Now, Kobato-*chan*, you sit here!
**[14:15] ---**
It's cake time! And... ta-da!
**[14:20] ---**
Well? Do you like it, Kobato-*chan*?!
**[14:24] ---**
You always have to go a
step too far, don't you?
**[14:28] ---**
What's your problem?! That
cake is too lovely for words!

**[15:03] ---**
Uh-huh.
**[15:09] ---**
Congratulations, Kobato-*chan*!
**[15:10] ---**
Good job!
**[15:14] ---**
Hey, what was that for?!
**[15:15] ---**
Whoops, my hand slipped.
**[15:17] ---**
Here, Sempai, say "ah"!
**[15:24] ---**
These things smell nice.
**[15:27] ---**
It's a talisman.
**[15:36] ---**
Jeez, so you got meat after all?
**[15:38] ---**
Shut up, you! I thought you
might want to eat some too...
**[15:41] ---**
Meat, that's just too masochistic.
**[15:43] ---**
Isn't that great, Kobato?
We're having *sukiyaki* tonight!
**[15:48] ---**
Enjoy it as if it were me, okay?
**[15:50] ---**
No!
**[15:54] ---**
*Sukiyaki*!
**[15:56] ---**
Well, somebody's in a good mood.
**[15:59] ---**
Today is a good day!
**[16:04] ---**
Okay, I'm going to buy ingredients,
so you go home ahead of me.
**[16:08] ---**
Come home quickly, my kin.
**[16:16] ---**
Hey!
**[16:17] ---**
Geh, Big Brother! What are you doing here?!
**[16:20] ---**
Excuse me? That's my house.
What are *you* doing?
**[16:23] ---**
I was only trying to sneak a peek inside.
**[16:27] ---**
Is that a no-no, Big Brother?
**[16:28] ---**
It's a no-no. And why do you
want to see inside, anyway?
**[16:32] ---**
Big Brother is home!
**[16:34] ---**
Hi, Maria, I didn't know you were here.
**[16:36] ---**
Did you get Kate to bring you?
**[16:38] ---**
Yep. This is the one thing
that hag is good for--
**[16:42] ---**
Hey, what are you still doing here, hag?!
**[16:44] ---**
You brat, before I brought
you here, didn't you say
**[16:47] ---**
"I'll be grateful forever, Big Sister!"?!
**[16:49] ---**
So *what* was that just now?!
**[16:51] ---**
Um, er... Shut up, crappy old hag!
**[16:56] ---**
Honestly, what a problem child.
**[16:58] ---**
Says the girl who was worried
enough to spy on her.
**[17:02] ---**
Well, how about you join us for
*sukiyaki,* since you're here?
**[17:05] ---**
*Sukiyaki*?! Can I really?!
**[17:07] ---**
Y-Yeah...
**[17:10] ---**
My beautiful day has turned poopy.
**[17:14] ---**
So you're Kobato-*chan*, Big
Brother's real-life sister, eh?
**[17:18] ---**
"Big Brother"?
**[17:20] ---**
That's what my sister Maria calls him.
**[17:23] ---**
If he's Maria's big brother,
**[17:24] ---**
and I'm her sister, and
I'm younger than he is,
**[17:28] ---**
then he's my big brother too.
**[17:30] ---**
Gah!
**[17:31] ---**
What's wrong?
**[17:32] ---**
Bro! Why?! Why do you keep getting
more little sisters, you big dummy?!
**[17:39] ---**
Hey, calm down! I didn't adopt them;
they just decided to call me that.
**[17:44] ---**
Say, why did Maria come over all of a sudden?
**[17:48] ---**
She said she had to talk to Kobato-*chan*.
**[17:51] ---**
What business does that foolish minion of God
**[17:53] ---**
have with me, the great ruler of the night?
**[17:56] ---**
What just happened to Kobato-*chan*?
**[17:58] ---**
Do me a favor and just let it go.
**[18:00] ---**
O-Okay...
**[18:02] ---**
Hey, Maria, hurry up and give
Kobato-*chan* your present!
**[18:06] ---**
Present?
**[18:08] ---**
Gah! Why did you tell her,
you poopy crappy hag?!
**[18:11] ---**
What's the big deal?
**[18:15] ---**
I'm generously giving you
a present, so be grateful.
**[18:19] ---**
B-Birthdays are important,
**[18:22] ---**
so I'll give it to you even
though you're a poopy vampire.
**[18:31] ---**
You're an evil being, after all!
**[18:34] ---**
You should let its divine power help you
mend your ways and become a good girl!
**[18:39] ---**
Foolish holy woman. Divine
powers don't work on *me*!
**[18:43] ---**
How dare you! Repent, you evil poopy vampire!
**[18:46] ---**
Whatever you say, it still won't work!
**[18:48] ---**
Ow, that hurt!
**[18:49] ---**
Dummy!
**[18:50] ---**
Come on, *sukiyaki* time.
**[18:53] ---**
"*Sukiyaki*"? I know what that is!
It's that tasty-sounding thing!
**[18:57] ---**
Yay! I'll help set the table!
**[19:01] ---**
Say thank you for the present, Kobato.
**[19:05] ---**
Tha... Th-Thank... you.
**[19:10] ---**
Huh? Did you say something?
**[19:12] ---**
N-Never mind, you dummy!
**[19:14] ---**
What, you poopy vampire?!
**[19:16] ---**
Dummy! Jerk!
**[19:18] ---**
Poopy vampire!
**[19:21] ---**
You worked hard, Big Brother.
**[19:23] ---**
I only got two pieces of meat!
And there were two whole kilos...
**[19:28] ---**
Those girls really ate a lot, huh?
**[19:30] ---**
So did you.
**[19:32] ---**
I'm so stuffed, I feel sleepy.
**[19:35] ---**
Big Brother, can we stay the night?
**[19:38] ---**
Fine with me.
**[19:39] ---**
Really?!
**[19:41] ---**
Thank--
**[19:43] ---**
Are you really fifteen?
**[19:45] ---**
I turned sixteen a while
back. And check this out.
**[19:49] ---**
Maria gave it to me for my birthday.
**[19:51] ---**
Huh, a locket?
**[19:54] ---**
What is this?
**[19:55] ---**
Maria gave me the cicada shell, and I
got someone I know to make this for me.
**[20:00] ---**
But Kobato-*chan*'s matches hers...
**[20:06] ---**
You've got a tough time, huh?
**[20:08] ---**
I'm a big sister; it
comes with the territory.
**[20:12] ---**
Maria! We're staying here for the night.
**[20:16] ---**
Come on, let's take a bath.
**[20:18] ---**
I'll have mine with Big Brother...
**[20:19] ---**
Idiot! I'm gonna wash you, be grateful!
**[20:22] ---**
No! Lemme go, you poopy hag! Poopy!
**[20:24] ---**
Oh, I'll get some sleep clothes for you.
**[20:28] ---**
Let me go, poopy hag!
**[20:30] ---**
Hey! Settle down!
**[20:33] ---**
Wait, where did Kobato go?
**[20:42] ---**
Kobato...?
**[20:50] ---**
Big Brother, you perv!
**[20:52] ---**
I-I'm sorry!
**[20:58] ---**
Care to justify yourself?
**[21:01] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[21:02] ---**
Okay, I forgive you.
**[21:03] ---**
Huh? Are you sure?
**[21:06] ---**
You didn't actually peek on purpose, did you?
**[21:08] ---**
O-Of course I didn't!
**[21:10] ---**
So what good would it do to blame you?
**[21:13] ---**
Plus, the fact that you don't give
excuses makes a good impression.
**[21:17] ---**
W-Well, because it's true
that I did something bad.
**[21:20] ---**
You really are a good person.
**[21:23] ---**
I can see why Pegasus-*san* likes you.
**[21:25] ---**
Are you friends with the President?
**[21:28] ---**
He and I are fishing buddies.
We especially like *ayu* fishing.
**[21:33] ---**
Huh, that's kind of surprising.
**[21:35] ---**
You come along sometime!
**[21:38] ---**
Okay, got it.
**[21:47] ---**
Okay, see you later, Big Brother.
**[21:49] ---**
Yeah, see you at school.
**[21:51] ---**
Sheesh, I wish you really were our brother.
**[21:56] ---**
Or...
**[21:58] ---**
Or something even more than that.
**[22:01] ---**
Personally, I think that might be nice.
**[22:04] ---**
But you've got Sena-*san,
*so I guess that's out...
**[22:07] ---**
O-Okay, later!
**[22:13] ---**
It wasn't long at all before I
learned what Kate's words meant.
**[22:40] ---**
*A stray cloud blocks my view*
**[22:43] ---**
*Of the star I know should be shining there*
**[22:49] ---**
*What should I believe in?*
**[22:53] ---**
*I was on my way to breaking*
**[22:56] ---**
*The treasure bred in this
all too changeable world*
**[23:02] ---**
*Because I was afraid of losing it*
**[23:06] ---**
*Those days of sighing "This is absurd"*
**[23:09] ---**
*And flailing inside my birdcage*
**[23:13] ---**
*We were gazing up at the same sky*
**[23:19] ---**
*When I gripped your hand, you
gripped back, didn't you?*
**[23:25] ---**
*These joined hands are
stronger than any wings*
**[23:32] ---**
*We can fly higher even without wings*
**[23:38] ---**
*So I know we'll be okay trying now*
**[23:42] ---**
*Let's grab the stars twinkling in the sky*
**[23:51] ---**
Man, that was tasty! Okay,
let's go home and sleep.
**[23:54] ---**
Hey! Do the preview like
you're supposed to, hag!
**[23:56] ---**
Oh, fine. Next time: "My Childhood
Friend Is Too Much of a Battleground."
**[24:00] ---**
Big Brother is really an adult
if he has a childhood friend!
**[24:04] ---**
I want one too!
**[24:06] ---**
You're still *in* your childhood!
**[24:08] ---**
I bet in another five years, Kobato-*chan
*could be your childhood friend.
**[24:12] ---**
I don't want a poopy vampire
for a childhood friend!
**[24:15] ---**
She'll stay my enemy forever!
**[24:18] ---**
Okay, okay.
**[24:20] ---**
