[00:15] ---
    Kobato-chan, you came!
[00:17] ---
    Where's Rika?
[00:18] ---
    Rika's not here yet!
[00:21] ---
    Huh? The movie's not here either, then?
[00:23] ---
    Correct.
[00:25] ---
    She messaged me last night
[00:27] ---
    that she'd have a masterpiece done by
    this morning come hell or high water...
[00:33] ---
    Wait, don't tell me she worked
    through the whole night?
[00:39] ---
    I'll go check on her.
[00:39] ---
    "Neighbors Club Movie Screenings"
[00:47] ---
    "Sect Σ"
[00:51] ---
    Hey, Rika!
[00:57] ---
    It's unlocked?
[01:01] ---
    Rika?
[01:09] ---
    Rika!
[01:25] ---
    Be My Friend
[01:26] ---
    Yeah, you played dumb
[01:29] ---
    Be My Side
[01:30] ---
    But I saw right through you
[01:32] ---
    I'll walk another step toward your side
[01:36] ---
    I bet I can even reach your hand
[01:44] ---
    "Haganai NEXT"
[01:45] ---
    It's more than I imagined--every
    day's a roller coaster

[01:50] ---
    I always barreled ahead with everything I had
[01:58] ---
    Our time won't last forever, now will it?
[02:05] ---
    Now is all we have, so let's make
    sure we remember this moment

[02:12] ---
    Be My Friend
[02:13] ---
    Yeah, you played dumb
[02:15] ---
    Be My Side
[02:16] ---
    But I saw right through you
[02:18] ---
    I'll walk another step toward your side
[02:23] ---
    So I can take your hand
[02:25] ---
    Be My Friend
[02:26] ---
    Yeah, I'm always gazing at the sky
[02:28] ---
    Be My Side
[02:29] ---
    But I'm still drawn to it
[02:32] ---
    One more time! I'll reach out
    to you as many times as you need

[02:36] ---
    I bet I can even reach that star
[02:43] ---
    "Dismay of I, the Chicken"
[02:45] ---
    They said it's just a cold.
[02:48] ---
    Sheesh, she shouldn't worry us like that.
[02:52] ---
    Maybe...
[02:53] ---
    Maybe we've been leaning on her too much.
[02:58] ---
    Yeah.
[03:01] ---
    But we can't waste time
    thinking about that now.
[03:05] ---
    "Waste time"?!
[03:06] ---
    We'll save the self-reflection for
    later. We have to get started now.
[03:09] ---
    On what?
[03:10] ---
    The screenings are canceled.
[03:12] ---
    Canceled?!
[03:14] ---
    It's kind of a shame.
[03:16] ---
    It's not finished. We have no choice.
[03:19] ---
    Plus...
[03:20] ---
    It's pointless if all seven of
    us aren't at the first viewing.
[03:26] ---
    Yozora...
[03:33] ---
    "The Neighbors Club movie
    screenings have been canceled."
[03:48] ---
    Cut it out!
[03:50] ---
    No messing around with the bulletin board!
[03:54] ---
    Hasegawa-kun, it's you!
[03:55] ---
    Oh, hi, Yusa. I'm not messing with it.
[03:59] ---
    My club's presentation was canceled,
[04:01] ---
    so I'm taking down the posters.
[04:03] ---
    Please accept my apologies.
[04:05] ---
    I know you're not the type of person
    to pull pranks, Hasegawa-kun.
[04:14] ---
    Sorry, I'm kind of moved.
[04:16] ---
    Usually people don't believe me,
[04:18] ---
    or they just run away before I can explain.
[04:21] ---
    I don't really understand you,
[04:22] ---
    but clearly you must have a sensitive soul.
[04:26] ---
    You really are a perfect boyfriend
[04:28] ---
    to match the inhumanly perfect
    real-lifer Kashiwazaki Sena!
[04:32] ---
    I told you, I'm not her boyfriend!
    We're just clubmates.
[04:35] ---
    Clubmates? But Kashiwazaki
    Sena isn't in any clubs!
[04:40] ---
    The club started in June.
[04:43] ---
    "Neighbors Club"?
[04:45] ---
    I've never heard of that
    club. What do you do in it?
[04:50] ---
    Um... Excuse me, I'm in a hurry!
[04:55] ---
    I apologize for delaying you.
[04:57] ---
    No prob. Good luck with your job too!
[04:59] ---
    Thank you!
[05:02] ---
    "Infirmary"
[05:05] ---
    Rika, are you awake?
[05:07] ---
    Yes. Please feel free to
    sneak into Rika's bed.
[05:11] ---
    Sheesh. That kind of joke is--
[05:20] ---
    You should keep this cold forever.
[05:23] ---
    Don't you think that was a little mean?
[05:26] ---
    Ah, sorry! I'm joking.
[05:30] ---
    So the screenings are canceled?
[05:32] ---
    Yeah.
[05:33] ---
    Rika was almost finished...
[05:36] ---
    There's no point if you're
    just gonna faint again.
[05:39] ---
    Well, couldn't we screen
    a 95% finished version?!
[05:43] ---
    Not a chance, idiot.
[05:50] ---
    Yozora says it's pointless if all seven
    of us aren't at the first viewing.
[05:56] ---
    Yozora-sempai said that?
[05:57] ---
    Yeah. Yozora said that!
[06:00] ---
    And I... We agreed with her.
[06:06] ---
    Gonna be moved to tears?
[06:08] ---
    R-R-Rika's not crying!
[06:11] ---
    FYI, I almost cried.
[06:17] ---
    Rika is suddenly sleepy!
[06:22] ---
    Kodaka-sempai.
[06:24] ---
    If you want to molest Rika, now is the time.
[06:28] ---
    Like in an ero-doujinshi.
[06:29] ---
    Look, you.
[06:31] ---
    Do you even have a plan for if
    I actually took you up on that?
[06:35] ---
    You never would, though.
[06:41] ---
    Oh, Sempai! Since you're here, would you
    read to Rika until she falls asleep?
[06:47] ---
    Read?
[06:48] ---
    This one, please!
[06:49] ---
    "Secret Sessions with a Devil of a Teacher"
[06:52] ---
    Th-That's a BL book!
[06:54] ---
    Please read it, Sempai!
[06:58] ---
    Be serious.
[06:59] ---
    This stuff is perfect for right now.
[07:04] ---
    Okay, okay. You really
    are a pervert, you know.
[07:08] ---
    Totally depraved.
[07:12] ---
    Thank you very much! Please
    start with the bookmarked page!
[07:18] ---
    "H-Heh... H-Heh, heh... Osawa-kun,
    you look like you w-w-want it bad..."
[07:26] ---
    "Is this how desperate you've
    been for my d-d-di... ck...?"
[07:30] ---
    Rika can't hear you!
[07:32] ---
    "F-For my dick?"!
[07:35] ---
    Say it with feeling!
[07:38] ---
    "T-Teacher, please, put your
    h-hot rod into my y-yaoi hole--"
[07:47] ---
    Yaoi hole? What's a "yaoi hole"?
[07:50] ---
    What? You're a boy, and you
    don't know about the yaoi hole?
[07:54] ---
    Huh?
[07:56] ---
    Huh?
[07:59] ---
    What are you talking about?
[08:00] ---
    Hole?
[08:05] ---
    Rika can't believe the *yaoi
    *hole doesn't really exist...
[08:08] ---
    Why would you think it did?
[08:10] ---
    It's not Rika's fault!
[08:12] ---
    She's never seen a boy naked in real life.
[08:15] ---
    And she has no friends
    to correct her mistake...
[08:20] ---
    But are you sure you don't have
    one? Allow Rika to check--
[08:24] ---
    Just go to sleep! I'm heading out.
[08:27] ---
    Okay.
[08:33] ---
    It's thanks to the Neighbors Club that we
    can be silly with each other like this, huh?
[08:57] ---
    "The movie is finished, so
    please come to the club room."
[08:58] ---
    "To the Neighbors Club.
[08:59] ---
    The movie is finished, so
    please come to the club room."
[09:08] ---
    Ahem. Rika sincerely apologizes for
    all the inconvenience she caused.
[09:14] ---
    Hmph! I-It wasn't really...
[09:16] ---
    Please don't worry about it, Rika-dono.
[09:19] ---
    Wh-Whatever, just show us the movie.
[09:21] ---
    I wanna see it now too!
[09:25] ---
    Let's see your fruitless human efforts.
[09:29] ---
    All right, here we go.
[09:47] ---
    "The Legend of the Great Kasi Vazwakii
    Swena Love Is Life Is Found in Death"
[10:03] ---
    "Guilty"
[10:32] ---
    And so the curtain closed on the
    Neighbors Club's school festival.
[10:42] ---
    "Real-lifer"
[10:46] ---
    "King Real"
[10:47] ---
    Thumbs ready... two!
[10:50] ---
    Thumbs ready... zero!
[10:54] ---
    Thumbs ready... eight!
[10:56] ---
    Please, behave yourselves!
[11:01] ---
    Oh, dear!
[11:04] ---
    Oh, dear!
[11:09] ---
    I beat my high score!
[11:14] ---
    Who's she?
[11:14] ---
    I'm Yusa! Yusa Aoi! We're in the same class!
[11:18] ---
    The same class?
[11:20] ---
    We've had plenty of conversations
    in the classroom!
[11:24] ---
    Now that you mention it, I kind
    of feel like that's true...
[11:27] ---
    K-Kashiwazaki Sena, you're
    mocking me again...!
[11:33] ---
    Look, don't take it too personally.
    So, what brings you here?
[11:37] ---
    Oh, that's right!
[11:39] ---
    Okay.
[11:43] ---
    What is wrong with this club?!
    All you ever do is play!
[11:47] ---
    We just happen to be
    taking a break right now.
[11:50] ---
    I-It's no use lying! I've kept
    tabs on you for some time now!
[11:55] ---
    Tabs?
[11:56] ---
    I got curious about what kind of club
    you and Kashiwazaki Sena were in.
[12:01] ---
    I-I see...
[12:03] ---
    And? Supposing we did play all the
    time, would that be a problem?
[12:09] ---
    Each club has its own activity program.
[12:12] ---
    Outsiders have no right
    to stick their noses in.
[12:14] ---
    I am on the student council!
[12:16] ---
    Council members have a duty to correct
    students who stray from the path!
[12:20] ---
    Yusa thinks of Sena as a rival or
    something. I think that's why she's here.
[12:25] ---
    So this is Meat's fault?
[12:27] ---
    The Neighbors Club is officially
    recognized by the school,
[12:31] ---
    and we abide by its stated aims.
[12:34] ---
    In compliance with God's instructions,
[12:36] ---
    we become neighbors with our fellow
    students, deepen that friendship,
[12:40] ---
    and, as occasion may require,
    sincerely work hard together.
[12:44] ---
    In other words, what appears
    to be mere playing around
[12:47] ---
    is in fact perfectly
    legitimate club business!
[12:49] ---
    Huh?
[12:50] ---
    I'm amazed she remembers that spiel.
[12:52] ---
    We play video games and read
[12:54] ---
    in order to become good neighbors
    to our fellow students.
[12:58] ---
    You want some too, don't you?
[13:00] ---
    Fun friends. Knowledgeable friends.
[13:03] ---
    Friends who share your
    interests. Dependable friends.
[13:06] ---
    I want some!
[13:07] ---
    Shut up.
[13:08] ---
    We work hard together each day in our
    quest to be magnificent neighbors.
[13:14] ---
    T-True, I believe such friends
    would enrich a person's life.
[13:19] ---
    But you didn't seem to be doing that at all!
[13:21] ---
    That's your personal impression.
[13:24] ---
    Does the council reject the activities of
    law-abiding students based on personal impressions?
[13:30] ---
    But what about that girl?!
[13:32] ---
    Or that one?!
[13:34] ---
    I don't think it's right
    to break school rules!
[13:37] ---
    School rules?
[13:38] ---
    Look at their clothes! According
    to Student Handbook Article 5,
[13:41] ---
    the Rules for Attire, "Students are
    required to wear their uniforms
[13:45] ---
    while on campus as well as on
    their way to and from sch--"
[13:49] ---
    Article 5 Section 4 stipulates
    the exceptions to that rule.
[13:53] ---
    I believe club activities
    are specifically included.
[13:57] ---
    F-Four... You're right.
[14:01] ---
    But these exceptions are for gym
    clothes and other uniforms--
[14:05] ---
    If so, you should fill out
    the official paperwork
[14:06] ---
    to have the handbook amended to clarify that.
[14:10] ---
    I am not bound by human laws.
[14:13] ---
    That's because you're in middle school.
[14:16] ---
    Middle school? What's a middle
    school student doing in this club?!
[14:20] ---
    There's no rule stating that middle
    schoolers can't be club members.
[14:24] ---
    Outsiders aren't allowed inside
    school buildings without permission!
[14:29] ---
    True, perhaps it is against the rules
    to allow outsiders into a club.
[14:34] ---
    Exactly!
[14:35] ---
    But are the middle schoolers "outsiders"?
[14:38] ---
    Though in a different school,
[14:40] ---
    they are nevertheless students
    of St. Chronica's Academy.
[14:43] ---
    Moreover, is it reasonable to call
    our blood relatives "outsiders"?
[14:49] ---
    Furthermore, this chapel
    may be on school grounds,
[14:53] ---
    but it is open to the public.
[14:56] ---
    Therefore, there is no problem
    with Hasegawa Kodaka's sister
[14:59] ---
    being here as a club member!
[15:02] ---
    You heard her.
[15:05] ---
    Good for you, huh?
[15:07] ---
    Grrrrr... Th-This isn't over!
[15:12] ---
    Okay.
[15:17] ---
    Hmph! And stay out, student council dog.
[15:24] ---
    Conversations with strangers
    make me nervous...
[15:28] ---
    Good work, club president.
[15:36] ---
    I have you this time!
[15:39] ---
    You again?
[15:41] ---
    Y-Your confidence is about to end!
[15:43] ---
    I've found a definitive reason why the
    Neighbors Club isn't a legitimate club!
[15:48] ---
    More crazy talk.
[15:50] ---
    Section 2 of the Rules for
    Extracurricular Activities:
[15:53] ---
    "As a rule, classes, clubs, and other
    activities undertaken in groups
[15:56] ---
    must be conducted under the
    supervision of an instructor"!
[15:59] ---
    That just means clubs have
    to have advisors, right?
[16:03] ---
    And your advisor is the issue here!
[16:06] ---
    Article 78 of the Student Council bylaws
[16:08] ---
    states that "Club advisors must be
    faculty or staff of this school"!
[16:12] ---
    Per Section 2, a sister's
    rights and responsibilities
[16:15] ---
    are equivalent to those of the faculty.
[16:18] ---
    There's no problem here.
[16:19] ---
    Yes, if your adviser were a sister,
    there would be no problem.
[16:23] ---
    However, Takayama Maria
    over there is not a sister!
[16:31] ---
    There is no "Takayama Maria" on the list
    of sisters assigned to this school!
[16:37] ---
    Only her older sister Kate-sensei is listed!
[16:40] ---
    In other words, she's just a little
    girl who hangs out in the chapel!
[16:47] ---
    B-But the club application was approved!
[16:50] ---
    Merely a mistake!
[16:52] ---
    H-Hold on a sec!
[16:57] ---
    Big Brother? What's wrong?
[16:59] ---
    I want to ask you something...
    Isn't Maria a sister?
[17:03] ---
    Nope.
[17:04] ---
    What, just like that?!
[17:05] ---
    I'm having her act as my assistant,
[17:07] ---
    partly to learn about the real world.
[17:09] ---
    After all, if she's at my school,
    I can keep an eye on her.
[17:13] ---
    Then why does Maria call herself "sensei"?
[17:15] ---
    Oh, that's just something she says!
[17:18] ---
    So why does she wear nun's robes?!
[17:20] ---
    Because it's cute!
[17:22] ---
    "Takayama Kate"
[17:23] ---
    Apparently she really isn't a sister.
[17:27] ---
    Oh... So I'm not a sister after all...
[17:32] ---
    I wonder what I am, then...
[17:35] ---
    A-Anyway, since you don't have an advisor,
[17:38] ---
    you can't be recognized as a legitimate club!
[17:40] ---
    As a club formed under false
    pretenses, you could be disbanded!
[17:44] ---
    If you don't want that, then
    from now on you'd better--
[17:45] ---
    If Maria's an official
    advisor, we're good, right?
[17:49] ---
    Y-Yes, but... The issue
    is that she's not, so...
[17:52] ---
    Uh-huh. Wait here a second.
[17:59] ---
    Anybody want some coffee?
[18:01] ---
    Huh?
[18:05] ---
    Don't worry; it's not poisoned.
[18:09] ---
    I'm afraid I've carelessly missed
    a chance to eliminate the enemy.
[18:13] ---
    Eliminating her really isn't necessary.
[18:16] ---
    Thank you for waiting, commoners.
[18:20] ---
    Maria's been offered a position
    as a special part-time instructor.
[18:22] ---
    Huh?
[18:24] ---
    What's a "special part-time instructor"?
[18:27] ---
    A teacher, basically.
[18:29] ---
    I called Daddy about our little problem.
[18:31] ---
    Pardon?
[18:32] ---
    I can be a real teacher?
[18:36] ---
    Yep. What do you say?
[18:38] ---
    Yes! I'll do it!
[18:39] ---
    Okay. We'll put in the paperwork, then.
[18:43] ---
    Yay! Yay! I'm gonna be a real teacher!
[18:44] ---
    Daddy? About what we were talking about...
[18:47] ---
    Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Thanks. Bye.
[18:47] ---
    Yay, yay!
[18:50] ---
    Yay!
[18:51] ---
    This is preposterous!
[18:53] ---
    The school president made the
    decision. Got a problem with that?
[18:55] ---
    Of course I do!
[18:57] ---
    And getting a proper advisor now
[19:00] ---
    doesn't change the fact that
    the club was created on false--
[19:02] ---
    Silence, mongrel.
[19:05] ---
    Just so you know, even if the student
    council calls for our disbandment,
[19:09] ---
    I can get that proposal canned.
[19:11] ---
    I got us an advisor for you so that
    you don't look like a fool later.
[19:15] ---
    Be grateful.
[19:16] ---
    I-I don't accept that!
[19:18] ---
    Listen closely, mongrel!
[19:20] ---
    This club belongs to me. If
    you keep barking on my turf...
[19:27] ---
    ...I'll crush you.
[19:28] ---
    How about I get you expelled, hmm?
[19:31] ---
    Y-You can't do th--
[19:33] ---
    You just keep telling yourself that.
[19:43] ---
    P-Please pardon my intrusion.
[19:50] ---
    A rich girl who abuses her influence
    to crush underfoot all who defy her...
[19:54] ---
    You're a total villain.
[19:55] ---
    I got rid of her quick,
    so what's the problem?
[19:58] ---
    No! I missed Kaoru-chan in her
    bunny ears and white bikini!
[20:00] ---
    Wait, did you resort to
    threats to run her off
[20:03] ---
    just so you could get back to your game?!
[20:06] ---
    Naturally!
[20:07] ---
    Sena-anego's principles are unwavering.
[20:10] ---
    Eh, if flaunting a little power
[20:12] ---
    is enough to get rid of her,
    she's not worth my time.
[20:15] ---
    Someone with an actual spine would
    ignore it and keep coming at me.
[20:23] ---
    I feel a little bad for Yusa, but...
[20:26] ---
    With these two around, the Neighbors
    Club is safe from any challengers.
[20:31] ---
    Oh, hey, Kodaka.
[20:34] ---
    Hmm?
[20:35] ---
    This came up while I was
    on the phone with Daddy...
[20:38] ---
    Yeah?
[20:39] ---
    Oh, dear!
[20:39] ---
    Marry me after all.
[20:45] ---
    I've been thinking about it
    ever since the betrothal thing.
[20:48] ---
    I've said this before: I don't care
    about some promise between our fathers.
[20:55] ---
    But it's that *promise
    *that I don't care about.
[20:59] ---
    When we discovered the engagement,
[21:01] ---
    the wedding itself ended up called
    off, but this is a separate issue.
[21:05] ---
    My feelings right now are
    that I want to marry you.
[21:09] ---
    I mean, I love you and everything.
[21:11] ---
    Hmm?! What did you say?!
[21:16] ---
    Ugh, you made me screw up, idiot!
[21:18] ---
    O-Oh, sorry. So, what did you say?
[21:22] ---
    "What did you say," my butt!
[21:28] ---
    Huh, I-I guess I said it.
[21:33] ---
    Well, that's okay. I was planning
    to tell you sooner or later.
[21:37] ---
    Um, so basically...
[21:39] ---
    That's the deal, okay?
[21:53] ---
    Wh-What's the deal with what?
[21:57] ---
    The game was so loud, I couldn't hear you.
[22:06] ---
    Kodaka?
[22:10] ---
    I-I just remembered something I have to do!
[22:39] ---
    A stray cloud blocks my view
[22:43] ---
    Of the star I know should be shining there
[22:48] ---
    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
[23:12] ---
    We were gazing up at the same sky
[23:18] ---
    When I gripped your hand, you
    gripped back, didn't you?

[23:25] ---
    These joined hands are
    stronger than any wings

[23:31] ---
    We can fly higher even without wings
[23:38] ---
    So I know we'll be okay trying now
[23:41] ---
    Let's grab the stars twinkling in the sky
[23:51] ---
    Demon Astaroth!
[23:52] ---
    Today is the day I'll use the magic
    passed on to me by my teacher
[23:55] ---
    to destroy you forever!
[23:57] ---
    You've got spirit, Guernica.
[23:59] ---
    But first let me tell you
    this: I am your father!
[24:04] ---
    What? A horse like you?! How?!
[24:07] ---
    It's a long story.
[24:08] ---
    Never mind, then.
[24:09] ---
    W-Wait! Just one thing, then--
[24:11] ---
    Next time, the final episode of Haganai
    Next: "I ______ Many Friends."
[24:14] ---
    Shatter the very soul of my
    enemy! Nine Lives Breaker!
[24:18] ---
