[00:11] ---
    Hello?
[00:13] ---
    Morning, Keiichi-kun!
[00:15] ---
    Wake up, sleepyhead! C'mon!
[00:17] ---
    Rena? Why're you calling me so early?
[00:19] ---
    G'morning, Kei-chan!
[00:22] ---
    Mion's there, too?! I know what that means...
[00:25] ---
    You're finally getting how our club works, huh?
[00:28] ---
    We're meeting up at the usual
    place before we head out!
[00:31] ---
    You're coming, right?
[00:33] ---
    Hell yeah! You guys ready
    for me to kick your butts?
[00:37] ---
    Keiichi-kun, you're late!
[00:41] ---
    Yeah, sorry 'bout that!
[00:54] ---
    "Da Vinci"
[00:55] ---
    "Da Vinci"
    My, there you are! We've been waiting!
[00:56] ---
    My, there you are! We've been waiting!
[00:59] ---
    Good morning, everyone.
[01:01] ---
    Hey! Morning, guys.
[01:03] ---
    Wait, is this where we're having club today?!
[01:07] ---
    The shop holds game tournaments every now
    and then to attract customers.
[01:12] ---
    That means all the guys in here
    are gonna play in the tournament?
[01:16] ---
    That's right! Today, we get to play against
    a lot more people than just ourselves!
[01:23] ---
    So I've gotta beat all of them, too...
[01:27] ---
    Okay, everyone! Listen up!
[01:30] ---
    There are 15 of us playing today.
[01:32] ---
    We'll draw names from a hat
    and split into five groups,
[01:34] ---
    and winners will advance to
    the next round, tournament-style.
[01:46] ---
    Can't believe we all got split up.
    What a coincidence.
[01:51] ---
    Yeah, right.
[01:52] ---
    What, did you think I'd let any of
    our members get eliminated in the first round?
[01:57] ---
    No idea how you managed this, but okay!
    I'll obliterate the competition!
[02:02] ---
    Let's go kick some butt, Keiichi-kun!
[02:04] ---
    I'll see you all in the finals!
[02:07] ---
    I'm gonna give it my all, too!
[02:14] ---
    You guys go to our school, right?
[02:17] ---
    Yeah, I'm Tomita.
[02:20] ---
    I'm Okamura.
[02:21] ---
    Damn, beating these guys is gonna
    be a cinch. Luck's on my side!
[02:27] ---
    All right, guys! Get your games started!
[02:31] ---
    Let's do this!
[02:37] ---
    One, two, three, four.
[02:39] ---
    Collect 5,000 dollars from each player
    to celebrate the birth of your child.
[02:42] ---
    Sorry, guys!
[02:45] ---
    I get a bonus!
    Collect 100,000 dollars from the bank!
[02:48] ---
    What?! You recovered from that already?!
[02:51] ---
    Head down the Corporate Ladder Course!
[02:53] ---
    Crap, that's a really good route!
[02:56] ---
    This game is completely based on luck...
[02:59] ---
    What the hell can I do to help me win?!
[03:03] ---
    --Whoa, no way!
    --Are you psychic or something?!
[03:08] ---
    Have a gander at this!
[03:09] ---
    Victory is mine!
[03:12] ---
    That was far too easy.
[03:14] ---
    H-Holy crap, you won already?!
[03:17] ---
    Nicely done, Satoko.
[03:19] ---
    I expected no less of you, either, Mion-san.
[03:21] ---
    You're done, too, Mion?! That fast?!
[03:24] ---
    Well then, Mion-san, shall we go have
    some tea while we wait for the others to win?
[03:30] ---
    Hey, great idea!
[03:36] ---
    I can't believe it...
[03:37] ---
    Wait, so how's Rena doing?
[03:40] ---
    Here we go!
[03:41] ---
    "Every dog has his day."
[03:46] ---
    It's sooo kyute! I wanna take it home!
[03:48] ---
    "A little goes a long..."
[03:51] ---
    "You get what you..."
[03:54] ---
    "Do unto others as..."
[03:56] ---
    So kyute, so kyute! I'm taking them all home!
[04:00] ---
    Impossible! Rena's always so calm
    during games! Where is this coming from?!
[04:06] ---
    I-Is it because they're all cute?!
[04:10] ---
    What about Rika-chan?!
[04:13] ---
    I got one on the line!
[04:15] ---
    Oh, wow! You're so good at this, Rika-chan!
[04:19] ---
    I got another one on my hook!
[04:21] ---
    Oh, no, not another one!
    You're too good at this!
[04:25] ---
    Keep it up, Rika-chan!
[04:27] ---
    Aaand that table's turned into a meeting
    of the Rika Furude Fan Club.
[04:33] ---
    It's your turn, Maebara-san.
[04:34] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[04:38] ---
    One, two.
[04:40] ---
    Penalized for tax evasion?! Pay 50,000 dollars?!
[04:44] ---
    Huh? Are you having a hard time
    over here, Keiichi-kun?
[04:48] ---
    You're the only one of us who hasn't won yet.
[04:51] ---
    Dangit...
[04:53] ---
    How much money do you guys have?
[04:55] ---
    U-Uh, I've got 980,000.
[05:00] ---
    And I've got 880,000. But I can still win!
[05:05] ---
    Both of them are gonna break a million easy!
[05:08] ---
    So how much do you have over there, Kei-chan?
[05:10] ---
    It's not my fault!
[05:12] ---
    All I can do is spin the thing
    and hope for the best!
[05:15] ---
    How unsightly.
[05:16] ---
    You can't give up, Keiichi-kun!
[05:19] ---
    It's okay, Keiichi.
[05:24] ---
    What the hell can I do to turn
    this game around, huh, Mion?!
[05:29] ---
    I'm disappointed in you.
[05:30] ---
    We all gave it a hundred percent,
    but you're not even trying.
[05:34] ---
    Wh-What do you mean, not even trying?!
[05:36] ---
    If you were trying, you would've found
    a way to win in the first ten seconds.
[05:40] ---
    Let's go, girls.
[05:41] ---
    Mii-chan, you didn't have to get mad at him...
[05:45] ---
    You think I'm not trying?
[05:48] ---
    You think I could win this game of chance
    in the first ten freakin' seconds?!
[05:54] ---
    You think I've totally crushed
    your hopes and dreams?!
[05:57] ---
    Uh, can we keep playing?
[06:01] ---
    Maebara-san, do you want to give up?
[06:06] ---
    I'll show you what happens when
    I start trying!
[06:11] ---
    Tomita-kun, Okamura-kun,
    let's make ourselves a deal.
[06:14] ---
    Let me win.
[06:15] ---
    --Wh-What?!
    --Wh-What?!
[06:17] ---
    M-Maebara-san, you're
    not allowed to threaten us!
[06:20] ---
    Just hear me out, okay?
[06:22] ---
    What is it you want? The prize money?
[06:24] ---
    W-Well, yeah...
[06:26] ---
    So if you won, what'd you use the money for?
    How'd you spend it?
[06:32] ---
    I'd probably buy a new game...
[06:34] ---
    I'd buy candy, or soda, maybe...
[06:37] ---
    Oh, boys, you gotta dream bigger than that.
[06:41] ---
    W-Well, how are you gonna spend it
    better than us, Maebara-san?!
[06:46] ---
    Now we're getting places.
[06:47] ---
    On top of playing with you guys,
    us club members have to deal with penalties.
[06:52] ---
    The kind where if you lose, you have
    to do whatever the winner tells you to do.
[06:56] ---
    B-But we're not even in your guys' club.
    What's that got to do with us?
[07:00] ---
    Just listen.
[07:01] ---
    Tomita-kun, you've got a crush on Satoko, right?
[07:05] ---
    And Okamura-kun, you've got
    the hots for Rika, yeah?
[07:10] ---
    Tomita-kun, if I win...
[07:12] ---
    --...I'll put a collar on Satoko and
    make her be your little sister all day!
[07:16] ---
    --Big brother!
    --...I'll put a collar on Satoko and
    make her be your little sister all day!
[07:21] ---
    And Okamura-kun, I'll put cat ears
    on Rika-chan and let you take her on a walk!
[07:27] ---
    Mew, mew!
[07:32] ---
    --Th-That's not, I mean, you can't...
    --Th-That's not, I mean, you can't...
[07:35] ---
    No need to be bashful.
[07:36] ---
    Why, you just got thrown under the bus
    by mean old Maebara-senpai!
[07:40] ---
    These youthful days of mine
    have been so gloomy...
[07:43] ---
    But at the very least, I can help
    my younger classmates achieve their dreams!
[07:50] ---
    I'll make all your dreams come true! I swear!
[07:53] ---
    --Maebara-san!
    --Maebara-san!
[07:56] ---
    I'll follow you into the depths of Hell, sir!
[07:59] ---
    "Da Vinci"
[07:59] ---
    "Da Vinci"
    --That's game!
    --That's game!
[08:02] ---
    Who won, Keiichi-kun?
[08:05] ---
    I crushed 'em!
[08:06] ---
    --Huh?!
    --Huh?!
[08:07] ---
    How on Earth did you manage a victory
    from those poor prospects?!
[08:10] ---
    An old-fashioned gentleman's
    agreement! Right, boys?
[08:14] ---
    --Hell yeah!
    --Hell yeah!
[08:17] ---
    Keiichi gets stuff done!
[08:20] ---
    I wasn't gonna be the only one
    who didn't win their game.
[08:25] ---
    Guess that means you're
    finally trying. Good to hear!
[08:29] ---
    Okay, Mii-chan! What are we
    gonna play? What game?
[08:33] ---
    Bad news on that...
[08:37] ---
    Sorry, guys, I have to head out
    to my part-time job now.
[08:40] ---
    --Nooooo!
    --Nooooo!
[08:43] ---
    Sorry, guys. I'll make it up to you
    next time, promise!
[08:47] ---
    Thanks to you guys,
    the shop made a huge profit today!
[08:50] ---
    Here's a little something to say thanks.
[08:53] ---
    Hey, Uncle Yoshiro, where's my little something?
[08:56] ---
    I'll give you a big tip
    next time I see you at work.
[08:59] ---
    No fair.
[09:01] ---
    --Oh, my!
    --This is so cute!
[09:03] ---
    Can I really take this home?!
[09:06] ---
    Is mine cute, too...?
[09:11] ---
    It's sooo kyute!
[09:14] ---
    That's the last thing
    I'd expect you to want, Kei-chan!
[09:17] ---
    I'll admit it's cute,
[09:19] ---
    but I can't say a doll like this is for me...
[09:21] ---
    If you took that home,
    everyone'd think you were a total perv.
[09:26] ---
    Yeah, it's really not my thing.
[09:32] ---
    Keiichi.
[09:35] ---
    As long as you're kind about it,
[09:37] ---
    you could give it to anyone, and they
    wouldn't be flustered, they'd accept it!
[09:45] ---
    Here, Mion, you have it.
    You'll get more use out of it than me.
[09:48] ---
    Huh?! But I'm so not the type for dolls!
[09:52] ---
    Like, I'm always wondering why I wasn't
    just born a guy or something, you know?
[09:57] ---
    C'mon, just take it!
[09:59] ---
    O-Okay...
[10:02] ---
    I also think you're a better home
    for her than Keiichi-kun!
[10:24] ---
    Taste-wise, this place isn't much different
    than other family restaurants...
[10:28] ---
    Who gives a damn about the food, Keiichi?!
[10:30] ---
    Look at that!
[10:36] ---
    Excuse me, could I get a refill on my coffee?
[10:39] ---
    Coming right up, sir!
[10:46] ---
    Is that why you said this shop is so infamous?
[10:49] ---
    C'mon, you like their uniforms, too, yeah?
[10:54] ---
    Wh-What're you doing, Keiichi?!
[10:56] ---
    No one's ever hit me in my entire life,
    not even my own father!
[10:58] ---
    I'm not your father!
[11:01] ---
    Be honest with yourself, Keiichi.
[11:03] ---
    I'm gonna go to the restroom.
[11:06] ---
    You take some time to appreciate
    these girls while I'm gone.
[11:10] ---
    Sheesh, how old does he think he is?
[11:12] ---
    S-Sorry about the wait, sir.
    Here's your dessert.
[11:16] ---
    Oh, tha...
[11:24] ---
    Mion... is that you?
[11:27] ---
    It is you, isn't it?!
    Why the hell are you working here?!
[11:32] ---
    U-Uh, this is my uncle's shop,
    I'm just helping out...
[11:36] ---
    Damn though, that outfit
    looks good, even on you!
[11:40] ---
    C-Could you not stare so hard?
    It's embarrassing...
[11:44] ---
    Oh, c'mon, I bet you love getting
    all the guys to stare at you in that!
[11:50] ---
    I-I'm not wearing this 'cause I want to...
[11:55] ---
    I never would've thought you'd look
    good in that, not in my wildest dreams!
[12:00] ---
    Y-You've got it all wrong!
[12:02] ---
    Huh? What am I getting wrong?
[12:04] ---
    Uhh, I'm so sorry, but...
[12:06] ---
    I'm actually Shion Sonozaki.
[12:09] ---
    I'm Mion's twin sister!
[12:11] ---
    Shion? Shion Sonozaki?
[12:13] ---
    That's right. People often
    confuse me for my sister...
[12:16] ---
    So if this is the first time we've met,
    why'd you act like it wasn't?
[12:20] ---
    W-Well, because my sister
    talks about you so much.
[12:25] ---
    This is a pretty pathetic story, you know...
[12:27] ---
    Um...
[12:31] ---
    Right, you're, uh, Shion? Sorry about that.
[12:37] ---
    It's okay, just--as long as you
    know I'm not my sister.
[12:39] ---
    I don't think that uniform
    would look good on Mion,
[12:44] ---
    but you're really rocking it, Shion-chan.
[12:46] ---
    Huh? You mean, uh...
[12:49] ---
    Sonozaki-san, you can take
    your break now if you want!
[12:52] ---
    O-Okay!
[12:54] ---
    Right, uh... I'm glad I finally got
    to meet the infamous "Kei-chan"!
[13:00] ---
    Sorry I thought you were Mion.
[13:06] ---
    Oh, Keiichi...
[13:08] ---
    Having a good time, are you?
    Finally see why this place's so dang awesome?
[13:14] ---
    Yeah, I guess...
[13:21] ---
    Skipping lunch is torture... I'm a growing boy!
[13:27] ---
    Why did we turn making curry
    into a competition?
[13:30] ---
    I've never seen Chie-sensei
    act so intense...
[13:33] ---
    She's usually so gentle and sweet.
[13:36] ---
    A-Are you okay, Keiichi-kun?
    I told you to eat some of my curry...
[13:41] ---
    Except Satoko turned your curry into
    a hypertensive's salty nightmare...
[13:46] ---
    Hey, you still managed to
    pull through, despite everything.
[13:50] ---
    Words aren't gonna make me
    feel better right now.
[13:52] ---
    If you want me to feel better,
    get me something to eat.
[13:56] ---
    I'm sure your dinner will taste great
    after all that waiting.
[14:00] ---
    All right, I'm gonna head off to work now.
[14:04] ---
    Man, waitressing must be pretty tough.
[14:08] ---
    Huh? You're a waitress, Mii-chan?!
[14:11] ---
    Wow, really?! Where do you work, where?!
[14:15] ---
    I-I don't, I'm-- I'm just helping my uncle!
[14:18] ---
    Right, I'm watching the game shop
    for Uncle Yoshiro! Remember him?
[14:21] ---
    Oh, right! Shion's the waitress.
[14:24] ---
    Sorry, you guys look so alike, I just forgot.
[14:27] ---
    Wait, Keiichi-kun, who's Shion?
[14:29] ---
    Oh, uh, Mion's twin sister.
[14:33] ---
    Totally different personalities,
    but they look identical.
[14:36] ---
    Y-Y-Yeah, that's right! We look similar,
    but we're totally different people!
[14:40] ---
    Unlike Mion, Shion's really cute,
    and she's got a sweet smile to boot.
[14:45] ---
    K... Kei-chan!
[14:47] ---
    Really? I don't remember you
    ever mentioning a sister to me before...
[14:54] ---
    Yeah, you've never met her before, Rena...
[14:57] ---
    Ack, I really gotta run to work! See ya!
[15:04] ---
    Hey, she's not technically lying.
    Just believe her.
[15:07] ---
    Oh, I believe her.
[15:09] ---
    Mii-chan was acting so cute.
[15:11] ---
    I wonder why. I wonder why?
[15:14] ---
    When's dinner...?
[15:17] ---
    When's mom coming home...?
[15:22] ---
    Door's open!
[15:25] ---
    G-Good evening...
[15:29] ---
    Whoa, Kei-chan, why are you on the floor?!
[15:34] ---
    Mi--no, Shion?!
[15:37] ---
    Why are you here?
[15:39] ---
    My sister told me you had
    to skip lunch today. Is that right?
[15:43] ---
    Huh? Yeah, what about it?
[15:45] ---
    Did you bring me some food
    to fill my starving stomach?
[15:49] ---
    Well, yes, but...
[15:51] ---
    Uh, it's to thank you for the d-doll...
[15:54] ---
    Huh?! Y-You really brought food?!
[15:58] ---
    Wait, are you talking about
    the doll I gave Mion?
[16:01] ---
    Oh, uh... I was more than happy
    to take her present over to you, so...
[16:08] ---
    I'm sorry, I hope I'm not bothering you...
[16:11] ---
    No, not at all! I'm really glad you came!
[16:14] ---
    W-Well, I was on my way to work,
    so I have to go!
[16:17] ---
    You can bring the empty container
    back to my sister when you're done!
[16:20] ---
    Sure, got it. Thanks!
[16:24] ---
    I'm glad for the food,
    but is it really safe to eat?
[16:28] ---
    If she's stuffed it full of
    Tabasco sauce or mustard...
[16:36] ---
    That's good!
[16:43] ---
    Thanks for the food. It was awesome.
[16:54] ---
    Last night, when I was super hungry,
    Shion came by and gave me a bunch of food.
[17:01] ---
    So here are all the containers.
[17:03] ---
    I already washed them for you!
[17:06] ---
    O-Oh, wow! Shion's so thoughtful.
[17:09] ---
    My, Mion-san, you sure are in good humor today!
[17:12] ---
    Yeah! She's being so kind and gentle.
[17:15] ---
    Perhaps she's come down with a cold?
[17:17] ---
    I'm sure you'll eventually
    "come down with a cold" too, Satoko.
[17:22] ---
    What does that mean?
[17:32] ---
    Eating lunch made me sleepy...
[17:34] ---
    Hey, Kei-chan, you always
    eat all your food at lunch, right?
[17:38] ---
    Like, every last little crumb.
[17:40] ---
    Well, yeah, else that'd be rude to
    the person who took the time to make it.
[17:43] ---
    It's funny, like...
[17:45] ---
    You give off this intense, independent vibe,
[17:48] ---
    but you're a stand-up guy, you know?
    Like, you've got good manners.
[17:51] ---
    You're right! Keiichi-kun's
    so much nicer than he looks!
[17:56] ---
    I feel like you're making fun of me right now...
[17:58] ---
    Not at all! I just wanted to point out
    how some people aren't what they look like!
[18:03] ---
    And what are you saying I look like right now?!
[18:05] ---
    Hey! Sonozaki-san, Maebara-kun,
    we are in class right now!
[18:08] ---
    Sonozaki-san, please bring me your notebook.
[18:11] ---
    Okay...
[18:13] ---
    You can't judge a book by its cover.
[18:15] ---
    Sometimes, people are
    the complete opposite of how they look.
[18:20] ---
    Where's this coming from, all of a sudden?
    You've got my attention.
[18:23] ---
    Look at Satoko-chan. She was a sweet,
    needy kid up until a short time ago!
[18:27] ---
    Satoko-chan being sweet and needy?!
    That's just plain unbelievable.
[18:32] ---
    Though I feel like Rika-chan
    is more than just cute...
[18:35] ---
    I always imagine Rika-chan growing up
    into a devilishly beautiful woman someday!
[18:42] ---
    --And even Mii-chan is really girly deep down.
    --You were distracted the other day, too,
    when we were making curry!
[18:46] ---
    --Rena, how much did Mion pay you to say that?
    --You were distracted the other day, too,
    when we were making curry!
[18:49] ---
    Mii-chan's the head of our club,
    so she works hard to be our leader,
[18:54] ---
    but under all that, she's just a cute girl!
[19:00] ---
    I hope you won't forget that
    about her, okay, Keiichi-kun?
[19:03] ---
    So does this lesson apply to you too, Rena?
[19:06] ---
    Huh? Does what apply to me?
[19:07] ---
    You said not to judge a book by its cover.
    What does that mean about you?
[19:13] ---
    Well, how do you see me, Keiichi-kun? How?
[19:18] ---
    The Rena Ryugu I know...
[19:24] ---
    Sometimes she takes jokes a little too far,
[19:26] ---
    but all in all, she's caring and kind.
[19:29] ---
    The perfect girl, I'd say.
[19:31] ---
    Really? You mean it?
[19:32] ---
    If you do, then I guess
    that makes me kinda happy...
[19:37] ---
    But if you're just the opposite...
[19:41] ---
    Sorry, guys, I've got work again today.
[19:44] ---
    It's okay. I have plans of my own, too.
[19:48] ---
    Oh, that's right, you've got
    your Watanagashi practice.
[19:52] ---
    That's right! It's this Sunday, you know!
[19:55] ---
    Rika's undergoing some
    rigorous training right now!
[19:57] ---
    Is there some big event coming up?
[19:59] ---
    Yeah, Watanagashi. It's a festival held
    at the shrine on a Sunday in June.
[20:05] ---
    Rika's a Watanagashi shrine maiden,
    so she'll be performing the ritual dance!
[20:10] ---
    "Watanagashi" is a weird name for a festival.
[20:13] ---
    It means "cotton drifting." We take cotton
    out of futons and drift it down the river.
[20:17] ---
    It's kind of like a special service
    for old futons.
[20:21] ---
    Huh.
[20:22] ---
    We don't have time to dawdle! Let's go, Rika.
[20:25] ---
    I'm gonna practice real hard today!
[20:28] ---
    Okay, let's head out for the day.
    I'd better hurry myself.
[20:33] ---
    Later!
[20:35] ---
    Mii-chan's relatives own lots of shops
    around here. Must be hard helping out!
[20:48] ---
    Mion's a cute girl, deep down...
[20:55] ---
    --Crap--
    --You little shit!
[20:58] ---
    The hell d'ya think you're doin', huh?!
[21:03] ---
    Stop gapin' like a fish and answer us!
[21:07] ---
    I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to--
[21:09] ---
    Like hell you didn't! You dumb bitch!
[21:11] ---
    What the shit?!
[21:13] ---
    The paint's scratched to hell!
[21:16] ---
    Who fuggin' putcha up to this shit, huh, kid?!
[21:20] ---
    Stop making a racket, you dumb punks.
[21:22] ---
    Get lost!
[21:25] ---
    The hell did you just say?!
[21:27] ---
    I'll say it again.
    Let go of Kei-chan and piss off.
[21:31] ---
    Huh?! You talkin' to us?!
[21:33] ---
    Damn bitch! I'll beat some
    goddamn sense into ya!
[21:37] ---
    Or are you gonna pay up for the damage?
[21:38] ---
    M-Mion, these guys are dangerous!
[21:40] ---
    Get outta here--
[21:41] ---
    Are you deaf or stupid? I told you to piss off!
[21:44] ---
    Oh, yeah?!
[21:51] ---
    What?
[22:02] ---
    Wh-Who the hell are these guys?!
[22:19] ---
    Wind gently flowing through my hair,
    time flowing endlessly

[22:24] ---
    A one-way ticket to the future
[22:28] ---
    Dejection and disillusion,
    indignation and exhaustion

[22:33] ---
    Carefully coordinated reasoning
[22:37] ---
    This God Syndrome,
    a string connecting love and lives

[22:47] ---
    It's not some exaggerated, grand ideal
[22:56] ---
    I want to believe in you,
    so I won't falter

[23:03] ---
    Those precious words you said
    that day are silent

[23:13] ---
    As if casting an ominous pity
    upon everything

[23:22] ---
    I shiver and despair over my own helplessness
[23:39] ---
    "Watadamashi-hen:
    Cotton-Deceiving Chapter, Part 2."
    Next time: "Watadamashi-hen:
    Cotton-Deceiving Chapter, Part 2."
