[00:14] ---
    Yo!
[00:15] ---
    Sena...
[00:17] ---
    Damn Meat... She has some
    nerve ignoring me...
[00:22] ---
    I was the one who got ignored...
[00:26] ---
    No!!
[00:28] ---
    I-It feels so good!
[00:31] ---
    Hey! What are you doing,
    Yozora?! Let go of me!
[00:35] ---
    --W-What is this?!
[00:36] ---
    --What are you holding my arms for?!
[00:38] ---
    Hey! Stupid Yozora!
[00:41] ---
    It's coming! I'm going to lose my mind!
[00:46] ---
    Something's coming! I-It's coming!
[00:58] ---
    QUIVER
[00:59] ---
    Vigorously bursting with goodness
[01:01] ---
    You know, that's surprisingly addicting
[01:03] ---
    Let's get the ball rolling
    while you're idly acting shy!

[01:07] ---
    Let's make friends and play, yeah!
[01:16] ---
    "Haganai"
[01:19] ---
    I look cool, but I'm actually super lonely
[01:22] ---
    (My delusions went bye, bye, bye
    Best friends are a nope, nope, nope, nope)

[01:26] ---
    I'm not held back any, but this isn't enough
[01:29] ---
    (Is a happy life in the real world far, far, far away?
    Best friends are a nope, nope, nope, nope)

[01:33] ---
    If a group of unlucky
    people gathered together,

[01:40] ---
    Ah--I can't picture it
[01:42] ---
    This situation is like stepping on a mine!
[01:49] ---
    FIDGET
[01:49] ---
    I totally, totally want to take a peek
[01:51] ---
    I don't want to regret this 100 times
[01:53] ---
    Totally toss aside and
    shake off that boring pride

[01:56] ---
    Unfortunately, this idea popped into my mind,
    and you know, it's surprisingly addicting

[02:00] ---
    Let's find some as we
    clash and rattle each other!

[02:05] ---
    Let's make friends and play, yeah!
[02:09] ---
    I totally, totally want to take a peek
[02:12] ---
    You! Toss aside and shake yourself off
[02:16] ---
    Yes! Well? What do you think of that?
[02:20] ---
    "There are No Flags at the Swimming Pool"
[02:20] ---
    Ow!
[02:21] ---
    Yes!
[02:23] ---
    Jeez! What are you doing, idiot?!
[02:25] ---
    Th-That's my line!
[02:28] ---
    In the holy club room! Have you no shame?
[02:30] ---
    D-Don't get the wrong idea!
[02:32] ---
    This is *The Sacred Blackstar,
    currently the most popular bishoujo game,
[02:37] ---
    and it's a moving, romantic
    fantasy adventure!
[02:40] ---
    The protagonist, Lucas,
    has overcome great trials,
[02:43] ---
    defeated Valniball, the God of
    Destruction, and in this moving scene,
[02:47] ---
    he and the heroine, Cecilia the knight,
    confirm their love for each other.
[02:50] ---
    It's definitely not just some smutty scene!
[02:53] ---
    Still, an eroge in the club room...
    
[02:55] ---
    I-I didn't know!
[02:57] ---
    After finishing Sparkling School
    I was searching for an interesting game,
[03:01] ---
    and when I asked for advice on the Net,
[03:02] ---
    I was told this was the
    hottest game right now.
[03:05] ---
    Then I asked a boy in class to get it,
[03:08] ---
    and he was more than happy to bring it, so...
[03:10] ---
    You pervert!
[03:12] ---
    Did you hear a word I just said?!
[03:14] ---
    Clam it, nympho!
[03:15] ---
    Jezebel!
[03:16] ---
    Exhibitionist!
[03:17] ---
    Hussy!
[03:18] ---
    Walking public toilet!
[03:19] ---
    Real Dutch wife!
[03:21] ---
    Walking obscenity!
[03:23] ---
    Stay away from me! Don't
    touch me! You'll get me pregnant!
[03:25] ---
    Why do I have to be subjected to
    your abuse just for playing a game?!
[03:28] ---
    Certainly, this game includes
    some graphic depictions,
[03:32] ---
    but that's only one part of it!
[03:35] ---
    This is a profound tale
    with heavy-hitting themes
[03:39] ---
    that your literature can't hold a candle to!
[03:41] ---
    In other words, it's a work of art!
[03:44] ---
    You say that, when your eyes
    were glued to that raunchy scene...
[03:47] ---
    Be honest and admit you're a pervert!
[03:50] ---
    I-I'm not! I just wanted
    to be friends with Cecilia!
[03:54] ---
    My feelings for Cecilia are pure!
[03:58] ---
    --Take this scene! This scene, naturally,
[03:59] ---
    --Don't show me that, pervert!
[04:01] ---
    isn't dirty in the least, whatsoever!
[04:04] ---
    Now that's a stretch...
[04:06] ---
    I feel sorry for you,
[04:08] ---
    for looking at this wonderful
    piece of art through leering eyes!
[04:11] ---
    In that case, Meat, try
    reading that scene out loud!
[04:16] ---
    If it's an unobjectionable work
    of art, you should be able to do so
[04:19] ---
    without the slightest bit of embarrassment.
[04:21] ---
    Right?
[04:22] ---
    Of course!
[04:23] ---
    B-But I get a little nervous
    reading out loud in front of people...
[04:28] ---
    In that case, I'll read, too.
[04:31] ---
    Yozora?
[04:32] ---
    I'll do a dramatic reading
    too, but you go first.
[04:36] ---
    Unless it's something else?
[04:37] ---
    Perhaps that game isn't art after all...
[04:41] ---
    I bet the game's heroine is
    nothing more than a cheap sex doll.
[04:46] ---
    Nobody talks like that about Cecilia!
[04:49] ---
    Fine! You wanna go there, we'll go there!
[04:52] ---
    Ready? Start!
[04:53] ---
    "L-Lucas, quickly... cleave my...
[04:59] ---
    ...naughty Valniball..."
[05:00] ---
    With a louder voice!
[05:03] ---
    "...m-my naughty Valniball...
[05:06] ---
    ...w-with your big, gleaming, black...
[05:11] ---
    ...sacred sword."
[05:13] ---
    "You want my sacred sword that badly?
[05:17] ---
    Cecilia, you really are
    a randy sow, aren't you?"
[05:21] ---
    "D-Don't be mean, Lucas!"
[05:25] ---
    "Hmph, look at your greedy expression.
[05:28] ---
    Come on, sow.
[05:30] ---
    If you want this, try
    asking me more politely."
[05:36] ---
    "P-Please, Master!
[05:39] ---
    Y-Your dirty-minded servant... begs you to...
[05:44] ---
    ...insert your sacred sword here..."
[05:48] ---
    "Not 'sacred sword.' Say the proper name."
[05:56] ---
    What's wrong? Go on, say it!
[05:59] ---
    "Lucas, I want your...
[06:03] ---
    ...in my hungry p-p-p...."
[06:08] ---
    Like I can say that, moron!
[06:13] ---
    Yozora, you idiot! Moron! Scum! Drop dead!
[06:16] ---
    I think you went overboard.
[06:18] ---
    By the way, I was secretly
    recording Meat's recitation.
[06:22] ---
    Do you think I should put it to
    good use and upload it to some site?
[06:25] ---
    Are you a devil?!
[06:27] ---
    I'm kidding.
[06:30] ---
    Oh.
[06:31] ---
    I promised too, didn't I?
[06:34] ---
    To read aloud from a work of art...
[06:37] ---
    "Upon the filthy sorrow, the
    snow lightly falls again today.
[06:42] ---
    Upon the filthy sorrow, even
    the wind blows too hard today."
[06:48] ---
    Nakahara Chuya, huh?
[06:56] ---
    I'm home!
[07:00] ---
    I'm pleased you've returned, my other half.
[07:04] ---
    I've been expecting you.
    Now, offer me a sacrifice.
[07:08] ---
    Are you hungry, Kobato?
[07:12] ---
    "Kobato" is a mere alias.
[07:14] ---
    My name is Raysis Vi Felicity Sumeragi!
[07:18] ---
    A true ancestor of the great Night Tribe...
[07:21] ---
    And now, I'm thirsting for blood.
[07:25] ---
    If you don't submit a sacrifice
    quickly, disaster will befall you.
[07:29] ---
    Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna make food now.
[07:34] ---
    It's ready!
[07:37] ---
    Sorry for the wait.
[07:40] ---
    You did well.
[07:45] ---
    The lifeblood of a virgin truly is special.
[07:47] ---
    It's just tomato juice.
[07:49] ---
    "Out of Control!? Midnight at Takayama Zoo"
[07:50] ---
    And now, some heartwarming news...
[07:56] ---
    Eat your onions, too!
[08:00] ---
    Here.
[08:05] ---
    Good.
[08:06] ---
    "Fullmetal Necromancer Eps. 1-4"
[08:11] ---
    By the by, my other half...
[08:13] ---
    Recently, haven't your
    offerings been on the scrawny side?
[08:16] ---
    Oh, yeah. I'm not able to get home
    as early because I've got the club.
[08:20] ---
    It can't be helped.
[08:22] ---
    Which is more important, me or the club?
[08:30] ---
    The club.
[08:33] ---
    If you're gonna complain,
    why don't you make dinner?
[08:39] ---
    Anyway, the juice...
[08:41] ---
    I mean, we're out of lifeblood.
[08:44] ---
    I'll buy some more tomorrow.
[08:45] ---
    Thanks...
[08:47] ---
    I mean, how wearisome.
[08:52] ---
    About a year ago,
[08:54] ---
    Kobato got hooked on that
    anime series, Fullmetal Necromancer.
[08:58] ---
    Since then, she's identified herself
    with a character inspired by its worldview.
[09:06] ---
    Dad bought this house right after I was born,
[09:09] ---
    but we had to move ten
    years ago because of his work,
[09:13] ---
    so it's been sitting empty all this time.
[09:15] ---
    This spring, when we found out Dad
    was going to be transferred to America,
[09:19] ---
    it was decided that Kobato
    and I would stay in Japan,
[09:22] ---
    and so we returned to
    this town and our old house.
[09:26] ---
    Of course, I hardly remember
    anything about living here before...
[09:31] ---
    Kobato, the bath's ready!
[09:34] ---
    I'll get in after I watch this!
[09:42] ---
    My club is important...?
[09:46] ---
    You're not playing an eroge today, huh?
[09:47] ---
    The Sacred Blackstar!
[09:50] ---
    That malicious vixen isn't here today,
[09:53] ---
    so I can play in peace and quiet.
[09:55] ---
    She said a book she wants goes on sale today.
[10:00] ---
    Kodaka...
[10:02] ---
    Um... Can you swim?
[10:05] ---
    Yeah, sorta-kinda...
[10:07] ---
    Really?
[10:09] ---
    In that case...
[10:11] ---
    ...will you teach me how to swim?
[10:14] ---
    You can't swim?
[10:16] ---
    My elementary school
    didn't have swimming lessons.
[10:20] ---
    I see. Well, it'd be no trouble
    teaching you, but why all of a sudden?
[10:25] ---
    You don't know that, either?
[10:28] ---
    Now that I'm friends with Natsumi,
    how awkward is it gonna be
[10:32] ---
    if we go to a pool or beach
    together and I can't swim?!
[10:34] ---
    Good grief, "Natsumi"...
[10:38] ---
    So we'll go to Sea God's
    Palace Land this coming Sunday, okay?
[10:41] ---
    Yeah. All right.
[10:44] ---
    One more thing, Kodaka...
[10:46] ---
    Don't you dare tell that stupid
    Yozora that I can't swim, got it?!
[10:52] ---
    Meat's not coming today?
[10:54] ---
    Yeah, she said she's going shopping.
[10:57] ---
    No wonder it feels so comfortable...
[11:01] ---
    Don't you dare tell that stupid
    Yozora that I can't swim, got it?!
[11:04] ---
    Something on your mind?
[11:06] ---
    No. Is that the book you bought yesterday?
[11:09] ---
    Yeah.
[11:10] ---
    Is it interesting?
[11:12] ---
    Yes.
[11:28] ---
    You're late!
[11:30] ---
    Sorry...
[11:41] ---
    "Sea God's Palace Land"
[11:46] ---
    Sorry to make you wait, Kodaka.
[11:54] ---
    What?
[11:55] ---
    N-Nothing. We've gotta shower first...
[12:01] ---
    I can get in myself.
[12:11] ---
    Okay, first, try opening
    your eyes underwater.
[12:14] ---
    Are you making fun of
    me?! Anyone can do that!
[12:30] ---
    How was that?
[12:31] ---
    You pass.
[12:32] ---
    So let's go on to the flutter kick.
[12:55] ---
    Too bad.
[12:58] ---
    I almost had you.
[13:01] ---
    But swimming's totally easy!
[13:04] ---
    Man, she's a quick study!
[13:07] ---
    Here you go.
[13:08] ---
    Thanks. I thought learning
    how to swim would take longer.
[13:12] ---
    Now, if Natsumi ever shows up, I'll be ready.
[13:15] ---
    I'm pretty sure she's not gonna show up.
[13:24] ---
    Anyway, this is a swanky facility...
[13:27] ---
    I hear it's on the verge
    of bankruptcy, though.
[13:29] ---
    Really?
[13:31] ---
    There's hardly anyone here, right?
[13:33] ---
    The last time the mayor came over,
[13:35] ---
    he and Daddy were talking about
    how many more years it could last.
[13:38] ---
    "Daddy"... Oh, the president
    of the academy...
[13:41] ---
    Right...
[13:43] ---
    Come to think of it,
    I haven't met the president yet.
[13:46] ---
    Maybe I should stop by to pay my respects...
[13:52] ---
    W-W-Why would you pay Daddy your respects?!
[13:56] ---
    You're not thinking...
[13:57] ---
    ...th-that you're going
    out with me, are you?!
[14:01] ---
    Don't tell me that you think
    this is a d-date or something?!
[14:06] ---
    You've got the wrong idea!
[14:08] ---
    My old man and your dad are old friends,
[14:12] ---
    so I thought I'd drop by to thank him
[14:15] ---
    for helping out with the admissions process.
[14:18] ---
    Y-You should've told me that first, dummy!
[14:21] ---
    I'm not responsible for your
    imagination running away from you!
[14:24] ---
    Kodaka, you've got some gall,
    challenging me like that.
[14:28] ---
    Meat...
[14:30] ---
    Excuse me?!
[14:30] ---
    Oh! The meat in the yakisoba...
[14:33] ---
    One piece was so tough that
    my teeth couldn't get through it.
[14:36] ---
    Don't say ambiguous things!
[14:38] ---
    More like you're
    hyper-sensitive to the word "meat"...
[14:42] ---
    It's that idiot! She gave
    me such a weird nickname!
[14:45] ---
    And yet, it feels like you accepted
    it readily enough from the beginning...
[14:52] ---
    B-Because it was the first time
    anyone's ever given me a nickname...
[14:55] ---
    So I was, uh, a little h-happy...
[14:58] ---
    Happy?
[14:59] ---
    D-Don't you ever tell Yozora that!
[15:02] ---
    But enough of that, Kodaka! If you're
    done eating, let's get back to swimming!
[15:07] ---
    Give me a minute.
[15:10] ---
    Her first nickname...
[15:12] ---
    I'd consider "Meat" more
    of an insult than a nickname...
[15:17] ---
    Taka! Hey, Taka!
[15:25] ---
    Get away from me!
[15:27] ---
    Who's this broad?!
[15:28] ---
    Wench!
[15:29] ---
    You think riffraff like you are in a
    position to talk to me on even terms?
[15:34] ---
    Bitch!
[15:35] ---
    Here we go...
[15:37] ---
    And what's your deal?!
[15:39] ---
    "Broad," "bitch"... Your responses
    all follow just one pattern!
[15:42] ---
    Don't you think your
    vocabularies need a major upgrade?!
[15:44] ---
    Don't mess with us, bitch!
[15:46] ---
    Hey, hold up!
[15:47] ---
    Are her legs quivering?
[15:51] ---
    Totally!
[15:52] ---
    The hell, she's actually scared!
[15:54] ---
    W-What are you talking about?!
[15:56] ---
    My legs are not quivering!
[15:58] ---
    Sena!
[16:00] ---
    Kodaka!
[16:02] ---
    What do you want?!
[16:03] ---
    She's with me.
[16:05] ---
    Crap. She's with a guy?
[16:08] ---
    Should've said that from the start!
[16:10] ---
    Wait!
[16:11] ---
    How dare you insult me?!
[16:14] ---
    Reason dictates that you get down
    on your hands and knees and grovel!
[16:17] ---
    That or die long before your time!
[16:20] ---
    What was that, bitch?!
[16:23] ---
    Violence isn't the answer.
[16:25] ---
    Frickin' let go of me!
[16:26] ---
    Asshole!
[16:28] ---
    Ow!!
[16:34] ---
    Would you guys do me a favor and walk away?
[16:39] ---
    S-Sure...
[16:42] ---
    Thanks for understanding.
[16:47] ---
    You okay?
[16:50] ---
    Good work, Kodaka.
[16:51] ---
    You can lick my feet as
    a reward, if you like.
[16:54] ---
    Yeesh. I can't deal with morons
    who don't know their own place.
[17:00] ---
    You're the moron! Idiot!
[17:02] ---
    W-What?!
[17:03] ---
    Why did you go out of
    your way to provoke them?!
[17:06] ---
    Guys who hit on girls
    can be found everywhere!
[17:09] ---
    W-What's your problem, Kodaka?!
[17:11] ---
    I was nice enough to compliment
    you, and you're lecturing me?
[17:14] ---
    That's right. I'm lecturing you!
[17:16] ---
    There are a lot of guys out
    there much nastier than that!
[17:20] ---
    This isn't the club room!
[17:22] ---
    I won't always be around to protect you.
[17:24] ---
    Oh, shut up! I'll deal with
    that when the time comes!
[17:27] ---
    It has nothing to do with you, Kodaka!
[17:29] ---
    It has nothing to do with me, my ass!
[17:36] ---
    I-It has to do with you...?
[17:40] ---
    All right, my bad! From now on,
    I'll be more careful, okay?
[17:44] ---
    O-Okay...
[17:46] ---
    I'm done for today.
[17:53] ---
    That was the first time a boy my
    age has seriously gotten mad at me...
[18:05] ---
    Well, here's where we part ways...
[18:07] ---
    Yeah...
[18:12] ---
    Th-Thank you for today.
[18:14] ---
    For everything...
[18:17] ---
    Let's go again!
[18:20] ---
    I wanna play in the wave pool next time.
[18:23] ---
    S-Sure...
[18:27] ---
    She's in a good mood again?
[18:36] ---
    You need to be taken down a peg, boy!
[18:37] ---
    You got somethin' to say to that?!
[18:38] ---
    Come to think of it,
[18:40] ---
    this hair of mine used to get
    me in a lot of scrapes...
[18:53] ---
    An-chan!
[18:55] ---
    Kobato! What's wrong?!
[18:58] ---
    The bath! The bath water turned cold!
[19:01] ---
    Really?!
[19:04] ---
    It's a conspiracy! I'm not
[19:07] ---
    --Okay, just put something on.
[19:07] ---
    --gonna take a bath ever again!
[19:13] ---
    Stop bullying weak kids!
[19:16] ---
    What's it to you?!
[19:20] ---
    W-What was that for?! I
    was trying to help you!
[19:24] ---
    I'm not weak!
[19:30] ---
    Then bring it on!
[19:33] ---
    Don't ignore me!
[19:34] ---
    You...
[19:34] ---
    Get 'em!
[19:36] ---
    Jerk!
[19:37] ---
    Give it up!
[19:40] ---
    Little brat!
[19:49] ---
    From then on, he and I were fast friends...
[20:00] ---
    Taka...
[20:02] ---
    My mom once said...
[20:04] ---
    "When you're in first grade, it doesn't
    matter if you can't make 100 friends.
[20:09] ---
    Instead, make real friends who are
    as important to you as 100 of them.
[20:14] ---
    It doesn't matter if you only have one,
[20:16] ---
    as long as it's a real
    friend that you care about."
[20:20] ---
    I like the way your mom thinks.
[20:22] ---
    Yeah...
[20:23] ---
    In that case, I'll value
    you as much as 100 friends...
[20:28] ---
    Even if the whole world becomes
    your enemy, I'll always be your friend.
[20:32] ---
    D-Don't say such embarrassing things!
[20:35] ---
    You started it!
[20:38] ---
    W-Well, yeah, but...
[20:49] ---
    Must've fallen asleep...
[20:53] ---
    "Make real friends who are as
    important to you as 100 of them..."
[21:03] ---
    K-Kodaka...
[21:04] ---
    You remem--
[21:07] ---
    Is something wrong?
[21:10] ---
    N-Nothing!
[21:13] ---
    I was just surprised when you
    started muttering all of a sudden!
[21:17] ---
    Oh. Sorry...
[21:20] ---
    By the way, where's Sena?
[21:21] ---
    Meat already went home.
[21:23] ---
    What about you, Yozora?
[21:24] ---
    I-I was reading my book, so...
[21:28] ---
    Well, I'm gonna go home, too.
[21:44] ---
    I wonder what that kid is doing now?
[21:48] ---
    Does he still live in this town?
[21:52] ---
    What did I call him then again?
[21:58] ---
    Oh, well, it was a long time ago.
[22:00] ---
    I'm sure he doesn't remember
    what happened ten years ago, either.
[22:09] ---
    Is there even such a thing as friends...
[22:13] ---
    ...who treasure each other forever?
[22:36] ---
    Ah, my mind is escaping
    reality as ideally as imaginable

[22:42] ---
    Not that it really matters
    now if I... make friends

[22:46] ---
    Those eyes that belittle me saying,
    "You're a lonesome person on your own," bug me

[22:52] ---
    So, while I was thinking
    that it'd be cool...

[22:55] ---
    
...if only a superficial group gathered up,

[22:58] ---
    They show up, one here,
    one there, and gather together

[23:02] ---
    The unique characters
[23:04] ---
    Throw me off balance
[23:07] ---
    It ticks me off! Especially that mean meat!
[23:09] ---
    My chest is secretly filled with
    apprehension and I feel a bit indecisive

[23:14] ---
    I can't tell you what's in my heart
[23:17] ---
    Am I the one disappointed by that?
[23:20] ---
    Plow through the fog today!
[23:34] ---
    Ever since the day I got left behind,
    my maiden heart has been filled with regret

[23:41] ---
    Hurry and find it--my lost heart
[23:50] ---
    Hey, Yozora, can you swim?
[23:52] ---
    I can swim. But I have no
    intention of swimming with you.
[23:55] ---
    Shoot. Boring!
[23:57] ---
    If you couldn't swim,
    I was going to offer to teach you
[23:59] ---
    if you got down on your
    hands and knees and begged.
[24:03] ---
    Now that I know how to swim,
    I wish there was someone I could teach...
[24:07] ---
    Now that you know how to swim?
[24:08] ---
    Did someone teach you?
[24:10] ---
    Never mind! Forget I said anything!
[24:12] ---
    Next time: "Underclassmen Don't Hold Back."
[24:12] ---
    "Next time: Underclassmen Don't Hold Back"
[24:14] ---
    Who's the underclassman?
[24:16] ---
    You mean the Neighbors Club
    is getting a new member?
[24:17] ---
    Don't ask me!
