[00:06] Aru
    My name is Honshou Aru.
    I'm the class vice president.
[00:11] Aru
    Today I realized I was carrying
    an elementary school backpack,
[00:15] Aru
    instead of the school's designated bag.
SIGN    School Route
[00:24] Aru
    Yes, yes, I know I'm unfortunate.
[00:28] Aru
    But I keep that secret from everyone else.
[00:30] Aru
    Right now, I'm thinking up excuses
    to explain this situation.
[00:36] Aru
    Okay, got one.
[00:37] Aru
    This is the start of another
    perfect day for me.
[00:46] Hanako
    Aru, morning!
[00:48] Aru
    Oh, Hana-chan, morning!
[00:50] Hanako
    Wait, why do you have
    an elementary school backpack?
[00:52] Aru
    Oh, this?
[00:54] Aru
    My cousin made a mess of my bag.
[00:56] Aru
    Using a normal bag would violate
    school rules, you know?
[01:01] Aru
    So this was my only option left.
[01:02] Hanako
    I see. You're too responsible, Aru.
[01:05] Hanako
    What you're doing is weird.
[01:07] Aru
    Is it?
[01:11] Aru
    So easy.
[01:13] Hanako
    But it's cute!
[01:15] Aru
    You're embarrassing me!
[01:17] Hanako
    It suits you perfectly, though, doesn't it?
[01:20] Aru
    As long as I typically remain diligent,
[01:21] ---
    that can explain a few things
    that are out of place.
[01:25] Aru
    That's what everyone will think.
[01:27] Aru
    But there are at least a few
    who know my true nature.
[01:35] Aru
    One is...
[01:37] Aru
    Nako!
[01:41] Aru
    She's dangerous!
SIGN    Happens All the Time
[03:17] Hanako
    But then they suddenly stopped.
[03:20] Aru
    Y-Yeah?
[03:22] Hanako
    Hey, are you listening?
[03:23] Aru
    I-I'm listening. I'm listening.
[03:27] Aru
    It's Nako.
[03:28] Aru
    She'll see through me in an instant.
[03:30] (Flashback) Nako
    Wow. Did you really mistake an elementary
    school backpack for your normal bag?
[03:34] (Flashback) Nako
    How unfortunate.
[03:36] (Flashback) Aru
    Who are you calling unfortunate?!
[03:38] Aru
    That's exactly how it would play out.
[03:40] Hanako
    So then they were wearing
    this really funny outfit...
[03:44] Aru
    R-Really?
[03:49] Hanako
    What's the matter?
[03:50] Aru
    It's nothing. It's nothing.
[03:53] Aru
    I want to avoid interacting with her
    in front of this girl.
[03:56] Aru
    Oh, well...
[03:59] Aru
    Ah!
[04:00] Hanako
    Huh?
[04:01] Aru
    My leg cramped!
[04:02] Aru
    My leg's completely cramped!
[04:05] Hanako
    A-Are you okay?
[04:06] Aru
    Just let me rest for a moment.
[04:09] Hanako
    You should stretch it out.
[04:10] Aru
    I'm fine. I'm fine.
[04:12] Aru
    I'm fine.
[04:23] Nako
    Wow. Did you really—
[04:25] Aru
    If it isn't Nako! Morning!
[04:28] Nako
    What's with you?
[04:29] Aru
    I have a name.
[04:31] Hanako
    Oh, Sunao-san, good morning.
[04:34] Nako
    G-Good morning.
[04:36] Hanako
    Well, I'll go on ahead.
[04:38] Hanako
    Talk to you later!
[04:41] Nako
    Does that girl think I'm scary, too?
[04:43] Aru
    Who cares about any of that?!
[04:46] Aru
    I told you it's taboo
[04:47] Aru
    to keep up this "unfortunate"
     campaign in front of other people!
[04:53] Aru
    What?!
[04:54] Nako
    I'm not campaigning to make you unfortunate.
[04:56] Nako
    That's just your reality.
[04:57] Nako
    Don't avert your eyes from it.
[04:59] Aru
    Don't patronize me!
[05:01] Aru
    Though, you're right.
[05:03] ---
    At this rate, I'll need to act
    even more diligent than usual,
[05:05] ---
    or I'll start standing out.
[05:15] Bocchi
    Aru-chan's quite diligent,
[05:17] ---
    coming to school with an elementary
    school backpack, instead of a bag.
[05:20] Sotoka
    Is that a substitution technique?
[05:23] Aru
    The Aru-chan everyone knows
    is surely the perfect class vice president.
[05:26] Aru
    It's impossible for her to be unfortunate.
[05:28] Aru
    So I'll take more initiative than usual.
[05:32] Aru
    I'll act like the perfect me!
[05:35] English Teacher
    Now, would someone read this page?
[05:38] Aru
    Yes!
[05:39] Teacher
    Okay, Honshou-san.
[05:51] Teacher
    Yes, your pronunciation was quite good.
[05:54] Aru
    Yes, perfect!
[05:56] Teacher
    But what I wanted you to read
     was the next page.
[05:59] Aru
    God damn it!
[06:01] Classic Teacher
    Now, would someone read page 36?
[06:04] Aru
    Yes!
[06:06] Classic
    Okay, Honshou-san.
[06:09] Aru
    With a heavy heart, I count the days
     that have passed since,
[06:13] ---
    and I fear I may hurt my fingers
     as it reaches past twenty, then thirty days.
[06:18] Classic
    Very good. Perfect.
[06:21] Classic
    However, I wanted you to read the next page.
[06:25] Aru
    It pains me so!
[06:30] Math
    Now, would—
[06:31] Aru
    This time!
[06:33] Math
    Honshou-san.
[06:35] Aru
    Greater than or equal to!
[06:37] Math
    Yes, that's correct.
[06:39] Aru
    Yes! That makes up for the others!
SIGN    Current Me ≥ Perfect Me
[06:42] Aru
    It was greater than or equal!

    Or it should have been...
[06:50] Aru
    My name is Honshou Aru.
    I'm the class vice president.
[06:54] Aru
    Today, I realized I was wearing a full elementary
    school uniform instead of my actual one.
SIGN    School Route
[07:08] Aru
    Yes, yes, I know I'm unfortunate.
[07:11] Aru
    But I keep that secret from everyone else.
[07:13] Aru
    Right now, I'm thinking up excuses
    to explain this situation.
[07:18] Aru
    I can't think of anything
    after doing this two days in a row.
[07:21] Aru
    This might be it for me this time.
[07:24] Aru
    Even if it means being late today,
[07:27] ---
    I need to get home and change
    without anyone noticing.
[07:29] Hanako
    Morning, elementary-schooler!
[07:31] Aru
    Oh, hello.
[07:39] Aru
    Hana-chan?!
[07:39] Hanako
    Aru?!
[07:42] Aru
    I'm finished.
[07:43] Aru
    I'm finished.
[07:43] Aru
    I'm finally finished.
[07:45] Aru
    My perfect middle-school life...
[07:50] Hanako
    Oh, are you Aru's little sister?
[07:54] Hanako
    Wow, Aru has a little sister!
[07:57] Hanako
    You look just like her!
[08:00] Aru
    Nice to meet you.
[08:01] Aru
    I'm Honshou Mieru.
[08:04] Hanako
    Mieru-chan, huh?
[08:06] Hanako
    I'm Yamada Hanako.
[08:08] Aru
    It's my pleasure.
[08:11] Hanako
    You're such a good girl, so well-behaved.
[08:15] Aru
    Safe!
[08:16] Aru
    Thank God Hana-chan's so easy to fool.
[08:18] Hanako
    Your older sister Aru is very responsible, too.
[08:21] Aru
    Huh?
[08:22] Aru
    Oh, well...
[08:25] Aru
    You're right. Aru is rather perfect.
[08:29] Hanako
    Well, give Aru my regards.
[08:32] Aru
    Thank goodness.
[08:34] Aru
    I see, though.
[08:35] Aru
    I can just pretend to be somebody else.
[08:37] Aru
    Okay, then I'll act like
    someone else until I get home—
[08:42] Aru
    Nako!
[08:48] Aru
    I'm Aru's little sister, Honshou Mieru.
[08:55] Nako
    There's no way!
[08:59] Aru
    Nako!
[09:01] Nako
    You, are you serious?
[09:04] Aru
    Don't take pictures!
[09:05] Nako
    "I'm Honshou Mieru!"
[09:10] Aru
    If you keep laughing, I'll hurt you.
[09:13] Nako
    You already are.
[09:15] Aru
    Listen. I'm going home to change,
     so I'll be late,
[09:18] ---
    but don't say anything weird.
[09:20] Aru
    I mean it this time!
[09:22] Nako
    Don't worry.
[09:23] Nako
    There's nothing weirder
    than you, Honshou Mieru.
[09:27] Aru
    Don't call me "Mieru"!
[09:30] Aru
    Damn Nako.
[09:32] Aru
    But I guess people who know me
     would figure it out.
[09:35] Aru
    I need to be careful.

    S—
[09:46] Bocchi
    Huh?
[09:46] Bocchi
    Oh, Aru-chan.
[09:48] Aru
    No.
[09:49] Aru
    I'm Honshou Aru's little sister,
     Honshou Mieru!
[09:56] Sotoka
    Little sister?
[09:57] Bocchi
    Oh, pardon me.
[10:00] Bocchi
    Your big sister does a lot for me.
[10:03] Sotoka
    I'm Sotoka Rakita, Master's apprentice.
[10:07] Aru
    They're easily fooled.
[10:09] Bocchi
    Y-Your big sister is always kind to me.
[10:13] Bocchi
    Um, I was really happy when she...
[10:16] Bocchi
    became my friend.
[10:21] Bocchi
    E-Excuse me.
[10:23] Sotoka
    Farewell.
[10:27] Aru
    Bocchi.
[10:29] Aru
    Sorry. It's me, Aru.
[10:32] Bocchi
    Aru-chan.
[10:33] Sotoka
    The substitution technique again?!
[10:36] Bocchi
    It's Aru-chan! Good morning!
[10:39] Aru
    How do you tell people apart, Bocchi?
[10:42] Sotoka
    Still, why are you...?
[10:44] Aru
    Sorry.
[10:45] Aru
    I was embarrassed about others
    seeing me as unfortunate
[10:48] ---
    for wearing an elementary school uniform.
[10:50] Bocchi
    No, I'm happy, since it's as if I got
     to meet the elementary school you.
[10:56] Bocchi
    I wish we had gone
     to the same elementary school.
[11:02] Aru
    Jeez.
[11:03] Sotoka
    Oh! Me, too!
[11:09] Bocchi
    Are you really sure about this?
[11:11] Aru
    It's fine. It's fine.
[11:13] Aru
    I have a feeling it'll work out.
[11:15] Bocchi
    Aru-chan.
[11:16] Aru
    Besides, who do you think I am?
[11:19] Bocchi
    Huh?
[11:20] Aru
    The world's class vice president!
[11:27] Aru
    Okay, here we go.
[11:31] Aru
    Good morning!
[11:32] Aru
    I'm Honshou Aru's little sister, Mieru!
[11:40] Aru
    Just kidding.
[11:41] Hanako
    Aru, what's that about?
[11:43] Ito
    What's up with that outfit?
[11:46] Aru
    U-Uh...
[11:52] Aru
    Damn Nako!
[11:55] Hanako
    Sunao-san burst out into laughter.
[11:57] Ito
    I've never seen her laugh before.
[12:00] Nosaki
    You're incredible, Aru-chan!
[12:02] Nosaki
    Getting Sunao-san to burst out
     laughing like that!
[12:04] Hanako
    You're so brave to do all that for a gag!
[12:06] Aru
    Huh?
[12:10] Aru
    Oh, well...
[12:21] Aru
    The moment has finally come.
[12:24] Aru
    Today, I'm going to make you cry "uncle."
[12:28] Aru
    I challenge you, Nako!
[12:30] Aru
    In tennis!
SIGN    Tennis Club
SIGN    Going Home Club
[12:35] Nako
    This is unfair.
[12:37] Bocchi
    Who do you think will win?
[12:39] Sotoka
    I've heard Nako isn't good at sports.
[12:41] Sotoka
    Besides, Aru is a member
    of the tennis club, right?
[12:44] Bocchi
    Yeah.
[12:45] Bocchi
    Then you think Aru-chan will win?
[12:48] Sotoka
    Yes.
[12:49] Sotoka
    Aru's being unfair.
[12:51] Aru
    Shut up!
[12:52] Aru
    Listen?
[12:52] Aru
    When you lose the match,
[12:54] ---
    you're going to promise me you won't laugh
    at my misfortune in front of others,
[12:57] ---
    or tease me, or do anything to ruin my image
     as a perfect class vice president!
[13:03] Nako
    You have an image
     as a perfect class vice president?
[13:06] Aru
    I do!
[13:07] Aru
    I'm the class vice president!
[13:08] Aru
    I have to do well in school,
    be friendly, and be reliable!
[13:13] Nako
    Well, I don't care if you feel that way,
[13:15] Nako
    but what happens if I win?
[13:18] Aru
    Huh?
[13:19] Aru
    W-Well...
[13:21] Aru
    That's not going to happen,
    so don't worry about it.
[13:24] Aru
    The first to score ten points wins.
[13:26] Aru
    We'll swap after each serve. Okay?
[13:28] Nako
    Sure, sure.
[13:29] Sotoka
    Still, why do you think Nako accepted this
    challenge when she's at a disadvantage?
[13:33] Bocchi
    I know Nako-chan doesn't like moving a lot.
[13:37] Nako
    For some reason, I think
    I can beat Aru on these terms.
[13:41] Nako
    Then once I win, I'll tell her wholeheartedly
[13:46] Nako
    that she's unfortunate!
[13:51] Aru
    I'll give you first serve.
[13:53] Aru
    That gives you the advantage.
[13:55] Aru
    It's a handicap, a handicap.
[13:57] Nako
    Is that so?
[13:59] Nako
    I guess I'll try this.
[14:01] Nako
    L-Look, what's that?!
[14:03] Aru
    Huh?
[14:04] Both
    Huh?
[14:07] Nako
    She's unfortunate,
    falling for that trick nowadays!
[14:10] Nako
    Though everyone else fell for it, too!
[14:12] Nako
    She's mine!
[14:18] Aru
    Hey, I don't see anything.
[14:20] Bocchi
    What is it?
[14:21] Sotoka
    I don't know.
[14:22] Aru
    Hey, what did you think you saw?
[14:24] Aru
    There was nothing th—
[14:25] Aru
    Ow! Ah! No fair!
[14:27] Aru
    You served while I wasn't looking!
[14:30] Nako
    Yeah.
[14:30] Aru
    No fair! Cheater!
[14:35] Aru
    Whatever.
[14:36] Aru
    You can only use that trick once.
[14:39] Aru
    Now it's my turn!
[14:44] Aru
    This is my serve as a tennis club member!
[14:46] Aru
    Aru-Aru Beam!
[15:00] Aru
    Shoot!
[15:02] Aru
    I've been skipping going to club too much.
[15:05] Aru
    They'll make fun of me.
[15:06] Aru
    They'll definitely make fun of me
    for missing my swing!
[15:09] Aru
    No, no, no, no, no!
[15:11] Nako
    It happens all the time.
[15:13] Nako
    Don't worry about it.
[15:14] Aru
    Why is she so nice?!
[15:18] Aru
    Normally, a point's awarded
    after two missed serves,
[15:21] ---
    but we can count that as a point for you.
[15:23] Aru
    It's a handicap, a handicap.
[15:25] Nako
    I don't get it, but whatever.
[15:27] Nako
    Though, do you really have the advantage
    when you're serving?
[15:33] Nako
    Maybe that's all a lie?
[15:35] Nako
    A strategy to get me
    to make these difficult serves?
[15:38] Nako
    I see it now.
[15:39] Nako
    It seems you really intend
    to win this today, Aru.
[15:45] Nako
    You can go ahead and keep serving.
[15:48] Aru
    Huh?
[15:49] Nako
    This is a serious match.
[15:51] Nako
    So show me the serve of a real
    member of the tennis club!
[15:54] Nako
    I'll let you keep serving until you do!
[15:57] Aru
    Why are you being so nice?!
[16:00] Nako
    Now I've forced it onto her!
[16:03] Aru
    A real tennis-club serve...
[16:05] Aru
    She can tell that I can't do it well
    after skipping tennis club too much.
[16:10] Aru
    Is she telling me to practice, because
    it'll get harder to go to club like this?
[16:15] Aru
    Don't show me that kindness!

[17:37] Nako
    I guess she's finally gotten the hang of it.
[17:40] Nako
    Now that she landed it,
    I'm stuck with the disadvantageous serve, too.
[17:45] Nako
    This is bad for me.
[17:47] Aru
    Nako.
[17:52] Aru
    I lost, okay?
[17:56] Aru
    I got your message.
[17:59] Aru
    I'll properly attend club from now on.
[18:01] Aru
    Also, I'll say this once...
[18:04] Aru
    Th-Thank you.
[18:06] Nako
    Hey, hold on.
[18:07] Nako
    What are you saying?
[18:08] Aru
    Huh?
[18:10] Aru
    Didn't you do this all for me?
[18:12] Nako
    Of course not.
[18:15] Aru
    Then why did you let me
    keep serving?
[18:18] Nako
    Because I thought I could win
    by just standing in place.
[18:20] Aru
    But why did you agree to a tennis match
    when you know I'm in the tennis club?
[18:24] Nako
    Because I had a feeling I could win.
[18:27] Sotoka
    Is she saying...
[18:29] Aru
    This was all my misunderstanding?
[18:32] Nako
    That's unfortunate for you.
[18:34] Aru
    Who are you calling unfortunate?!
[18:38] Nako
    At least you finally landed
    your unfortunate serve.
[18:40] Aru
    I told you not to laugh at me!
[18:42] Nako
    Well, I didn't lose the match.
[18:45] Aru
    Th-That's...
[18:47] Aru
    But isn't it cruel to laugh at me
     so hard in the classroom?
[18:51] Aru
    I always thought you were the type
     who wouldn't do that.
[18:54] Hanako
    Aru really surprised me today.
[18:58] Ito
    I bet she did that just to make
    Sunao-san laugh. Had to be.
[19:03] Hanako
    That's our class vice president for you.
[19:04] Ito
    I thought so, too!
[19:06] Ito
    Aru-chan's so incredible!
[19:10] Aru
    Did she laugh like that to protect me?
[19:17] Aru
    Nako.
[19:19] Nako
    Mieru.
[19:20] Aru
    No, no, no, that can't be!
[19:22] Aru
    She just ticks me off!
[19:26] Bocchi
    Ah!
[19:26] Sotoka
    Is there danger, Master?!
[19:28] Bocchi
    That reminds me.
     I ran into Aru-chan's little sister.
[19:31] Aru
    No, I told you that was me all along!
[19:34] Bocchi
    Her name was...
[19:35] Nako
    Honshou Mieru.
[19:37] Aru
    My name's not Mieru!

[19:44] Bocchi
    Aru-chan.
[19:45] Aru
    Oh, sorry.
[19:46] Aru
    Today, I'm helping out
     the beautification committee,
[19:49] Aru
    and afterward I have club,
     so you can go home without me.
[19:51] Bocchi
    I see.
[19:52] Bocchi
    Okay.
[19:54] Aru
    I'm really sorry.
[19:55] Aru
    Next time, okay?
[19:57] Bocchi
    Work hard.
[19:58] Aru
    Thanks!
[20:00] Nako
    Today, too?
[20:01] Bocchi
    Yeah.
[20:02] Nako
    Is she still aiming to be her
    perfect self or whatever?
[20:06] Bocchi
    I don't know, but...
[20:08] Sotoka
    Master! Let's train!
[20:11] Sotoka
    Master?
[20:12] Bocchi
    Huh?
[20:12] Bocchi
    Oh, yeah.

[20:18] Nosaki
    Sorry for making you help us, Aru-chan.
[20:21] Aru
    It's fine. It's fine.
[20:23] Aru
    I just need to pull out the weeds
     in this area, right?
[20:25] Aru
    Just another push to be the perfect me.
[20:28] Aru
    It's exhausting to be on guard all day long,
[20:31] Aru
    but I'll overcome these
    trials and grow from them!
[20:37] Nosaki
    Incredible!
[20:39] Aru
    I'm beat.
[20:41] Aru
    But I still have to go to club.
[20:44] Aru
    Don't lose, Aru!
[20:46] Aru
    Shine, Aru!
[20:48] Aru
    Aru-Aru on top of an aluminum can!
[20:52] Aru
    Reliable Aru!
[20:54] Aru
    Perfect Aru!
[20:58] Aru
    Wh-Wh-What are you all doing here?
[21:00] Bocchi
    Aru-chan.
[21:01] Nako
    What was that song about?
[21:03] Sotoka
    Master said to wait for you.
[21:05] Aru
    But I told you I still have club.
[21:08] Bocchi
    We didn't get much chance to talk today,
[21:11] Bocchi
    so we were waiting
     until you finished with club.
[21:13] Sotoka
    Time went by fast while we were training.
[21:15] Bocchi
    Yeah.
[21:19] Aru
    Fine, then. I'll skip club!
[21:22] Bocchi
    Huh? But...
[21:23] Aru
    Let's all go home together.
[21:25] Aru
    I'll go get changed.
[21:28] Bocchi
    Yeah!
[21:32] Bocchi
    Like this!
[21:33] Sotoka
    Like this?
[21:34] Bocchi
    Next is like this!
[21:36] Sotoka
    Like this?
[21:37] Nako
    Are you really sure about this?
[21:39] Aru
    It's fine.
[21:40] Aru
    Skipping today won't ruin my perfect image.
[21:45] Nako
    Well, you can do whatever you like.
[21:48] Nako
    But...
[21:49] Nako
    I don't think you need to be perfect.
[21:54] Nako
    In fact, I think Bocchi might like
     unfortunate Aru more.
[21:58] Nako
    I don't hate it, either.
[22:00] Aru
    Wha?!
[22:00] Bocchi
    Nako-chan! Aru-chan!
[22:04] Nako
    Let's go.
[22:08] Aru
    It's not like I'm happy to hear that!
[22:10] Bocchi
    Aru-chan!
[22:12] Aru
    I'm coming!
