**[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.

"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*

"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] ---**
