    DECEMBER 20
[00:04] ---
    Did you hear?
[00:05] ---
    MIDDLE
    JUMP
[00:06] ---
    Apparently at Mid Jump, sexual content is okay
    if it doesn't go on for more than four pages.
[00:10] ---
    What? That sounds obscene.
[00:12] ---
    Right. It is obscene.
[00:14] ---
    The cover for that magazine
    is obscene, as well.
[00:16] ---
    Agreed. It is obscene, isn't it?
[00:18] ---
    CHRISTMAS CAKE
    ACCEPTING ORDERS
[00:18] ---
    While we've been focused
    on the culture festival,
[00:21] ---
    the rest of the world
    has gone into Christmas-mode.
[00:21] ---
    NO OCCUPANCY
[00:24] ---
    All these couples using Christmas Eve
    as a pretext for hooking up...
[00:27] ---
    No vacancies
    at any of the love hotels.
[00:28] ---
    NO OCCUPANCY
[00:30] ---
    At the end of the day,
    our world revolves around sex!
[00:33] ---
    Awful! Awful! So obscene!
[00:35] ---
    They all have nothing
    but indecent thoughts on their minds!
[00:37] ---
    And then... And then...
[00:38] ---
    Indecent thoughts, huh?
[00:42] ---
    What was that kiss, then?
[00:44] ---
    There were...
[00:46] ---
    all these tiny balloons everywhere!
[00:49] ---
    SQUEAL SQUEAL
[00:49] ---
    It was gorgeous beyond belief!
[00:52] ---
    And then, President told me
    to apply to Stanford!
[00:56] ---
    That is, he ordered me
    to join him in the U.S.!
[00:59] ---
    Stanford?
[01:00] ---
    I know! What was he thinking?
[01:02] ---
    But the way he said it with that blush
    on his face was just so adorable!
[01:06] ---
    I said yes in spite of myself!
[01:12] ---
    And in spite of myself, I kissed him!
[01:16] ---
    Did you know, Hayasaka?
[01:18] ---
    When you kiss someone you like,
    it can't be a regular kiss!
[01:20] ---
    LADY KAGUYA'S
    KEY TIPS FOR KISSING
[01:24] ---
    Class is now in session!
[01:26] ---
    You place your lips together like so.
[01:29] ---
    The grown-up way is to slip your tongue in.
[01:32] ---
    Miss Kashiwagi and her boyfriend actually...
[01:35] ---
    WAR CRIMINAL
[01:41] ---
    So, you didn't know that,
    did you, Hayasaka?
[01:44] ---
    How cute.
[01:46] ---
    Idi...
[01:47] ---
    Idiot!
[01:52] ---
    What?
[03:22] ---
    DECEMBER 21
[03:25] ---
    With the culture festival over,
    the student council goes back to normal life.
[03:30] ---
    Good work.
[03:30] ---
    But the scars still
    run deep.
[03:31] ---
    Ishigami's here!
[03:33] ---
    And Shirogane's battle
    is far from over!
[03:37] ---
    I let her know how I feel!
[03:40] ---
    I even kissed her!
[03:42] ---
    And it was a pretty intense one!
[03:44] ---
    Meaning...
[03:46] ---
    we can be considered
    boyfriend and girlfriend now?
[03:50] ---
    But how pure was that kiss, really?
[03:54] ---
    If I'd mismanaged
    the distance between us here...
[03:57] ---
    What's this, President? One kiss,
    and you're acting like my boyfriend?
[04:01] ---
    That kiss only happened
    because we were having a moment.
[04:04] ---
    Surely you don't think
    that a kiss makes us lovers now?
[04:07] ---
    That's exactly how a cherry boy's mind would work.
[04:08] ---
    CHERRY BOY
[04:10] ---
    How cute.
[04:12] ---
    GAH
[04:15] ---
    President, are you all right?
[04:18] ---
    Uh, yeah, I'm fine.
[04:21] ---
    Today, I'm going to set things straight
    with Shinomiya!
[04:24] ---
    No matter what!
[04:29] ---
    Here she comes!
[04:32] ---
    DAINTY
[04:40] ---
    TROT TROT
[04:43] ---
    Hey, Shinomiya...
[04:44] ---
    Wait, what?
[04:47] ---
    Doesn't she seem different today?
[04:49] ---
    Now that you mention it,
[04:51] ---
    Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh...
[04:51] ---
    she does look
    more childish than usual.
[04:53] ---
    Oh! Little Kaguya!
[04:56] ---
    - Little Kaguya?
    - Little Kaguya?
[04:58] ---
    Little Kaguya! Little Kaguya! Little Kaguya!
[05:03] ---
    I didn't think we'd get to see you this year!
[05:06] ---
    Everyone! How lucky are we
    to get to see Little Kaguya?
[05:10] ---
    Wh-What the heck
    do you mean by "Little Kaguya"?
[05:13] ---
    Kaguya's personality undergoes slight shifts
    depending on her mental state that day.
[05:17] ---
    You're all aware of that, right?
[05:19] ---
    Little Kaguya can only show up if she meets
    the most stringent conditions.
[05:22] ---
    60% happy, 40% in denial and, on top
    of that, she has to be sleep-deprived.
[05:23] ---
    IN DENIAL
[05:27] ---
    Every single one of these boxes
    needs to be checked.
[05:29] ---
    LITTLE KAGUYA
[05:30] ---
    And only when her psychological balance hits
    that sweet spot does this rare Little Kaguya appear!
[05:35] ---
    Rare Kaguya?
[05:37] ---
    Even I've still only seen her three times!
[05:40] ---
    How is this even possible?
[05:41] ---
    That's right!
[05:42] ---
    DECEMBER 20
[05:43] ---
    The conditions had already been met
    the previous night!
[05:46] ---
    A grown-up kiss!
[05:48] ---
    In a nutshell,
    a dizzying array of kisses exist.
[05:51] ---
    A kiss on the cheek or hand
    signifying affection.
[05:54] ---
    A kiss on the lips
    indicating a close relationship.
[05:57] ---
    And...
[05:59] ---
    the more meaningful kind of kiss.
[06:02] ---
    LOVE BIBLE
[06:02] ---
    Isn't this the way
    one normally kisses the one she loves?
[06:05] ---
    KISSES THAT WORK
    FOR ROMANCE
[06:06] ---
    It says so in the books I've read.
[06:08] ---
    Even Miss Kashiwagi and her boyfriend...
[06:14] ---
    Miss Kashiwagi?
[06:15] ---
    Yes?
[06:16] ---
    Miss Kashiwagi...
[06:17] ---
    Is that how one typically
    goes about kissing another?
[06:21] ---
    Huh? Um... Um—
[06:23] ---
    That was a special kind of kiss
    you only give to the person you love!
[06:27] ---
    So whatever you do,
    don't kiss anyone else like that, okay?
[06:30] ---
    Understood!
[06:31] ---
    War criminal.
[06:33] ---
    Such disinformation was pumped
    into Kaguya, a stranger to girl talk...
[06:33] ---
    The kind of kiss you only give
    to the one you love...
[06:36] ---
    To the one you love!
[06:36] ---
    And she ends up doing just that.
[06:39] ---
    That was your first-ever kiss?
[06:41] ---
    You aren't in a love scene
    in a Hollywood movie!
[06:44] ---
    In other words, it's a regular kiss, right?
[06:46] ---
    Not by a long shot!
[06:47] ---
    You shouldn't be kissing like that
    on school grounds!
[06:50] ---
    That's something
    you should be doing in bed!
[06:54] ---
    That kind of kiss...
[06:55] ---
    practically amounts to having sex!
[06:58] ---
    Se...
[07:01] ---
    ...x?
[07:02] ---
    She managed to say it.
[07:03] ---
    Wait!
[07:04] ---
    What do you mean by "sex"?
[07:07] ---
    All I did was insert my tongue
    into his oral cavity!
[07:10] ---
    That can't possibly be sex!
[07:14] ---
    It's totally sex.
[07:16] ---
    It's something you do
    in the process of having sex.
[07:19] ---
    Stop repeating the word "sex"!
[07:21] ---
    You've been repeating it
    yourself, Lady Kaguya!
[07:24] ---
    Well, Christmas is around the corner.
[07:26] ---
    Since you've gotten this far already,
[07:28] ---
    it will be a breeze to take it
    to the next level and have sex.
[07:30] ---
    Good for you.
[07:31] ---
    Wait! Why on earth would you go there?
[07:34] ---
    Don't people normally wait at least a month or two
    after their first kiss to engage in that sort of thing?
[07:34] ---
    HOLLER HOLLER
[07:36] ---
    HOLLER HOLLER
[07:38] ---
    HOLLER HOLLER
[07:39] ---
    It's a different story if you've already
    gone that far with your first kiss!
[07:40] ---
    HOLLER HOLLER
[07:43] ---
    I'm just not getting through to you.
[07:45] ---
    This is why children like you
    who've never been kissed...
[07:49] ---
    You're thinking of something
    unbelievably infuriating right now, aren't you?
[07:53] ---
    I'm getting nowhere with this!
[07:55] ---
    Let me ask someone with experience
    about what to actually expect!
[07:58] ---
    MISS KASHIWAGI
    NOW DIALING
[08:03] ---
    Hello? Kaguya? What a surprise!
[08:06] ---
    Is something wrong?
[08:07] ---
    I'd like to ask you something,
    Miss Kashiwagi.
[08:10] ---
    What is it? Ask me anything!
[08:11] ---
    Well, you see...
[08:13] ---
    About how long did you wait
    to have sex after your first kiss?
[08:18] ---
    I-I'll have you know, Tsubasa and I
    have never done anything so indec—
[08:20] ---
    Please don't ridicule me!
[08:22] ---
    I couldn't be more serious than I am now!
[08:25] ---
    What?
[08:26] ---
    This is a serious conversation?
[08:34] ---
    After that first kiss,
[08:36] ---
    maybe two months.
[08:37] ---
    Of course! You'd wait
    at least that long, right?
[08:41] ---
    Then, how long after a grown-up kiss?
[08:46] ---
    About 40 seconds.
[08:50] ---
    Seconds?
[08:52] ---
    Are you finally starting
    to see the light, Lady Kaguya?
[08:56] ---
    Just acknowledge it!
[08:57] ---
    That because your first kiss was a deep dive,
[08:59] ---
    chances are that President sees you
    as a super-nympho lust monster!
[09:04] ---
    A super-nympho lust monster?
[09:11] ---
    How...
[09:13] ---
    How can I possibly look him
    in the eye tomorrow?
[09:16] ---
    In an abrupt about-face
    after that Ultra Romantic night,
[09:16] ---
    THAT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE SEX!!
[09:17] ---
    A SUPER-NYMPHO
    LUST MONSTER!?
[09:18] ---
    the point that Hayasaka brought up
    has caused her to spend a night of agony!
[09:22] ---
    MNGH
    NNGH
[09:22] ---
    And sleep-deprivation ensues!
[09:24] ---
    Kaguya's brain plunges even further
    into the depths of malfunction!
[09:27] ---
    Resulting in two straight days of zero IQ!
[09:32] ---
    Intellectually, it's Black Monday!
[09:34] ---
    And...
[09:34] ---
    Rare Kaguya?
[09:36] ---
    Descent.
[09:37] ---
    This is a hundred times better
    than her being scary, so I accept it!
[09:39] ---
    Whaaaaat?
[09:41] ---
    Damn! Today of all days,
    I really wanted to talk to Shinomiya!
[09:46] ---
    In this state,
    I can't even get through to her!
[09:46] ---
    GRIND
    GRIND
[09:50] ---
    This is bad!
[09:52] ---
    Wh-Wh-What is it, Shinomiya?
[09:56] ---
    Pwesident, good morning!
[09:59] ---
    Actually, maybe it's perfect.
[10:01] ---
    Who is this adorable creature?
[10:03] ---
    Needless to say,
    she's in a super-deformed state.
[10:07] ---
    This is how she appears to everyone.
[10:09] ---
    Tell me, how old are you, Little Kaguya?
[10:12] ---
    Um... Um... Seventeen?
[10:14] ---
    Seventeen, huh? What a sweetheart!
[10:17] ---
    CONGRATULATIONS
    ON COMING OF AGE
[10:17] ---
    Did you know? If you're 17,
    then next year, you'll be an adult!
[10:22] ---
    It's not a good look to take advantage of someone
    when they're vulnerable, Ishigami. So cut it out.
[10:26] ---
    Oh!
[10:28] ---
    So cuddly and fluffy!
    I want to display you at my house!
[10:31] ---
    SQUISH
    SQUISH
[10:35] ---
    WHACK
[10:35] ---
    Ouch!
[10:37] ---
    SQUISH
    SQUISH
[10:38] ---
    Hey! You can't hit people, you bad girl!
[10:40] ---
    We just caught a glimpse
    of Shinomiya's inner psyche, right?
[10:44] ---
    Can't you see she doesn't like that?
[10:44] ---
    SQUIRM
    SQUIRM
[10:46] ---
    Just let her go, okay?
[10:47] ---
    Oh, she's totally fine!
[10:49] ---
    Little Kaguya loves me the best, don't you?
[10:52] ---
    Go on, show us
    who your favorites are in order!
[10:56] ---
    Number one.
[10:57] ---
    Huh?
[10:58] ---
    Number two.
[10:59] ---
    Huh?
[11:00] ---
    Number three.
[11:02] ---
    What are you talking about?
[11:03] ---
    Don't ask me, but I think
    she just went with the flow there.
[11:08] ---
    MINI DONUTS
[11:09] ---
    Here.
[11:09] ---
    What?
[11:10] ---
    You're giving me a snack?
[11:11] ---
    SMITTEN
[11:12] ---
    Thanks!
[11:13] ---
    Here.
[11:14] ---
    Hey, thanks!
[11:16] ---
    Here.
[11:17] ---
    You're giving me one, too?
[11:19] ---
    Oh...
[11:20] ---
    RATTLE...
[11:24] ---
    Sniff!
[11:25] ---
    I'll run out and get some candy!
[11:26] ---
    We're going at top speed,
    so hang on, okay?
[11:35] ---
    Listen, Shinomiya, about yesterday...
[11:39] ---
    Pwesident...
[11:40] ---
    You're breathing!
[11:41] ---
    We're the same!
[11:43] ---
    It's no good. We can't talk like this.
[11:46] ---
    Right now, it seems like Shinomiya's brain
    is the size of an orange.
[11:51] ---
    She's probably seeing a different world than I am.
[11:54] ---
    Come to think of it, I've heard
    that if the gap between your IQ is 20 or so,
[11:57] ---
    there's no way
    you can hold a conversation.
[12:01] ---
    In that case...
[12:03] ---
    Chinomiya!
[12:06] ---
    Pwesident?
[12:07] ---
    Chinomiya, let's talk!
[12:09] ---
    Okay! Let's!
[12:11] ---
    What should we talk about?
[12:13] ---
    Anything you want!
[12:14] ---
    Chinomiya! Chinomiya!
[12:16] ---
    Pwesident! Pwesident!
[12:17] ---
    Chinomiya!
[12:19] ---
    Pwesident! Pwesident! Pwesident!
[12:20] ---
    They're holding a conversation,
    and it's scarily devoid of substance.
[12:28] ---
    I'm sorry I'm late—
[12:29] ---
    Chinomiya! Chinomiya!
[12:31] ---
    Pwesident! Pwesident!
[12:32] ---
    Chinomiya! Chinomiya!
[12:33] ---
    Pwesident! Pwesident!
[12:35] ---
    Chinomiya! Chinomiya!
[12:36] ---
    Pwesident! Pwesident!
[12:38] ---
    Chinomiya! Chinomiya! Chinomiya! Chinomiya!
[12:40] ---
    Pwesident! Pwesident! Pwesident! Pwesident!
[12:45] ---
    Aren't you both too old
    to be doing whatever this is?
[12:47] ---
    Super-deformed is just super-deformed.
[12:51] ---
    DECEMBER 20
[12:52] ---
    Three days until Christmas Eve!
[12:54] ---
    Having shared a grown-up kiss,
[12:56] ---
    these two are about to see the curtain go up
    on this year's final romantic battle of minds!
[13:03] ---
    For Hayasaka, it was the morning from hell.
[13:09] ---
    Little Kaguya's fast asleep, huh?
[13:11] ---
    I'm not surprised.
[13:11] ---
    MNGH
    NNGH
[13:12] ---
    The culture festival must've worn her out.
[13:14] ---
    Let's let her get some real rest.
[13:16] ---
    BAKED
    SENBEI
[13:16] ---
    MIDDLE
    JUMP
[13:16] ---
    Hey, almost forgot.
    I brought this week's Mid Jump.
[13:20] ---
    Great! Thank you!
[13:21] ---
    TWO PUNCH MAN
[13:21] ---
    MS. KUBO
    DOESN'T MAKE IT
    COMPLICATED
[13:22] ---
    That's lewd material you have there.
    I'm confiscating it.
[13:24] ---
    Where'd you come from, Iino?
[13:28] ---
    Look, Iino...
[13:29] ---
    can you at least wait
    until President finishes it?
[13:32] ---
    Negative! The rules are the rules!
[13:34] ---
    You only have yourself to blame
    for bringing in contraband!
[13:36] ---
    It's the same old, same old, huh?
[13:38] ---
    Makes you wonder if it's going to be
    like this until we graduate.
[13:41] ---
    We're going to be
    at each other's throats until the end.
[13:43] ---
    I have no idea why...
[13:45] ---
    but whenever you do something to me,
    I can't rest until I get back at you.
[13:49] ---
    What?
[13:52] ---
    If you promise never to bring
    anything like this again,
[13:56] ---
    I'll let you have your book back.
[13:58] ---
    Just keep your word on that,
    and the odds of us getting along might be...
[14:03] ---
    more than...
[14:04] ---
    zero.
[14:11] ---
    That's not going to happen.
    I'm so going to bring another one next week.
[14:18] ---
    How do you not see
    that it's your own fault?
[14:20] ---
    PUNCH
    MISS
[14:20] ---
    Seriously? What's going on here?
[14:20] ---
    Are you stupid? Are you?
[14:22] ---
    An old-school brawl?
[14:22] ---
    Ouch! I'll bring it, no matter what!
[14:24] ---
    Ts-Tsubame!
[14:27] ---
    Don't mind us, please.
    We're always like this.
[14:28] ---
    After I made such a huge concession...
[14:29] ---
    Well, if you say so.
[14:31] ---
    Oh, right! There's something
    I wanted to ask you, Yu.
[14:35] ---
    What is it?
[14:36] ---
    Do you think you'll be free
    on Christmas Eve?
[14:41] ---
    What is this? No way!
[14:43] ---
    U-Um, if you don't feel like it,
    you can totally say no, okay?
[14:48] ---
    Wanna come over that day?
[14:50] ---
    I'll be there!
[14:51] ---
    Yay!
[14:52] ---
    YAY
[14:52] ---
    Whoa, Tsubame's house? On Christmas?
[14:55] ---
    In Tsubame's room?
[14:59] ---
    That's beyond perverted!
[15:02] ---
    Oh! It's not like that!
    I was planning to invite you, too, Iino!
[15:06] ---
    For a threesome?
[15:07] ---
    No! I'll be inviting a lot of people!
    I'm going to throw a party!
[15:10] ---
    It's an orgy!
[15:11] ---
    Shut up, you clueless
    Disciplinary Committee member!
[15:13] ---
    How do you not get that she's talking
    about a Christmas party?
[15:16] ---
    O-O-Oh!
[15:18] ---
    Oh, sorry. That just never crossed
    my mind when I said it.
[15:23] ---
    Hey, if Iino wasn't around,
    I totally would've gotten the wrong idea, too.
[15:27] ---
    I'm inviting the Cheerleading Squad
    and the Culture Festival Committee.
[15:30] ---
    Rei says she'll be coming, too!
[15:31] ---
    Rei?
[15:32] ---
    Tsubame!
[15:34] ---
    All right, I'm in the middle
    of an errand here...
[15:37] ---
    so let me know if you're coming!
[15:39] ---
    STUDENT COUNCIL ROOM
[15:40] ---
    Hey, Ishigami...
[15:43] ---
    Are you free on Christmas Eve?
[15:45] ---
    Wanna come over that day?
[15:47] ---
    Oh, are you having a Christmas party?
[15:50] ---
    I'm surprised you made the connection.
[15:52] ---
    So, let's have a Christmas party for everyone in the
    student council! I'll provide my home as the venue!
[15:56] ---
    You'll come, too, won't you, Kaguya?
[15:58] ---
    MNGH
    NNGH
[15:59] ---
    That's a yes!
[16:00] ---
    Isn't she just moaning in her sleep?
[16:02] ---
    You won't have to spend another lonely Eve
    all by yourself this year, Ishigami!
[16:06] ---
    Thanks to Chika,
    your brilliant event planner—
[16:08] ---
    Hey, sorry, Senpai...
[16:10] ---
    but on Christmas Eve,
[16:12] ---
    I've got plans.
[16:16] ---
    It's kind of a shame that your howls of laughter
    will go to waste, but it's the truth.
[16:19] ---
    It really is true.
    Tsubame just invited Ishigami and me.
[16:23] ---
    What?
[16:24] ---
    You can't possibly turn down an invitation
    from Tsubame, can you, Ishigami?
[16:28] ---
    A BIT DISAPPOINTED
[16:29] ---
    Huh? Why couldn't I, if it's her?
[16:31] ---
    Everyone here is aware
    that you have a crush on Tsubame.
[16:35] ---
    Yeah.
[16:36] ---
    Well, yes.
[16:37] ---
    No way!
[16:40] ---
    Since when?
[16:41] ---
    Maybe around the sports festival?
[16:42] ---
    No way!
[16:45] ---
    So...
[16:46] ---
    which party are you going to, Iino?
[16:48] ---
    Well, I know you think
    I'd be a thorn in your side. So I guess I'll...
[16:54] ---
    Huh? I don't think that.
[16:59] ---
    Is... that right?
[17:01] ---
    Huh?
[17:04] ---
    GOOD NIGHT!!
    SEE YOU LATER
[17:04] ---
    IINO AND I WILL BOTH
    ATTEND YOUR
    CHRISTMAS PARTY
    LOOKING FORWARD TO IT
[17:13] ---
    I have to give him my answer
    three months from now, huh?
[17:18] ---
    LOST AND FOUND
[17:25] ---
    IF NO ONE'S CLAIMED IT
    IN THREE MONTHS, TAKE IT!
[17:28] ---
    If no one's claimed it
    in three months, huh?
[17:35] ---
    Not that I really want it.
[17:38] ---
    Christmas, huh?
[17:40] ---
    I wonder what Shinomiya's going to do.
[17:52] ---
    The second battle of minds
    inside her own brain and the trial begin!
[17:57] ---
    TWO GENIUSES' WAR OF LOVE
[17:59] ---
    WHAT? I'M UP!?
[18:06] ---
    Not only did the defendant steal a kiss
    from Miyuki Shirogane without warning,
[18:06] ---
    THE ACCUSED KAGUYA (STUPID)
[18:10] ---
    but she even inserted her tongue,
    of all things.
[18:12] ---
    She is therefore charged with the crime proscribed
    in article 174 of our personal penal code...
[18:15] ---
    The Grown-Up Kiss Offensive.
[18:17] ---
    In addition, the defendant is deemed
    a flight risk who may flee the country.
[18:20] ---
    Therefore, the prosecution seeks
    the death penalty for the defendant.
[18:20] ---
    THE COMPLETE
    SIX CODES
    OF JAPAN
[18:23] ---
    PROSECUTOR KAGUYA
    (COLD AS ICE)
[18:25] ---
    Death penalty?
[18:26] ---
    COUNSEL KAGUYA SHINOMIYA
[18:26] ---
    No objections.
[18:27] ---
    My own lawyer won't even defend me?
[18:29] ---
    Pwesident is in the student council room...
    Wow, it's perfect!
[18:31] ---
    Uttering gibberish
    in front of President...
[18:33] ---
    Number one...
[18:34] ---
    NUMBER ONE
[18:34] ---
    S-Saying he was your number one!
[18:36] ---
    I don't remember.
[18:37] ---
    Well, what a convenient mind you have!
[18:40] ---
    Well, why is it such a big deal?
[18:41] ---
    President used all those balloons
    to let me know how he feels!
[18:45] ---
    What's wrong with that?
[18:46] ---
    W-Well, you do have a point, but—
[18:49] ---
    How ludicrous.
[18:50] ---
    Why are you letting
    mere balloons rattle you?
[18:54] ---
    AHHH
[18:55] ---
    You're not looking like yourself, either!
[18:57] ---
    My internal breakers broke, too.
[19:00] ---
    All right.
[19:02] ---
    Playtime is over.
[19:04] ---
    You've been summoned today so that
    we can decide what to do going forward.
[19:08] ---
    This is a crucial decision
    that will determine our future.
[19:08] ---
    PRESIDING JUDGE KAGUYA
    (CHILD)
[19:11] ---
    There are three issues under discussion.
[19:12] ---
    (1) ON OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH PRESIDENT
    (2) ON STUDYING ABROAD
    (3) ON THAT GROWN-UP KISS
[19:13] ---
    Let us resolve them one by one.
[19:15] ---
    First of all...
[19:16] ---
    our relationship with President.
[19:18] ---
    Come on, we've got to be lovers now!
    I mean, we've kissed!
[19:21] ---
    R-Right, we are, aren't we?
[19:22] ---
    SMOOCH
[19:23] ---
    Don't be ridiculous.
[19:24] ---
    If kissing makes you lovers,
    then sex workers would be lovers with everyone.
[19:29] ---
    I have to agree.
[19:31] ---
    Although our feelings are undeniably mutual,
    we've never been vocal about them.
[19:36] ---
    If we're to take it to the next level,
    we should say so directly.
[19:39] ---
    Then regarding Number 1,
    our conclusion must be...
[19:40] ---
    (1) ON OUR RELATIONSHIP
    WITH MIYUKI SHIROGANE
[19:42] ---
    A.
    MORE THAN
    FRIENDS
    LESS THAN
    LOVERS
[19:46] ---
    Next, let's discuss studying abroad!
[19:47] ---
    (2) ON STUDYING ABROAD
[19:49] ---
    Well, President did say
    it was a once-in-a-lifetime wish!
[19:52] ---
    I'm so going!
[19:53] ---
    Yes.
[19:56] ---
    Are you serious?
[19:56] ---
    Huuuh?
[19:58] ---
    You don't seriously believe
    you'll be allowed to do such a thing, do you?
[20:02] ---
    How do you plan to talk Father into it?
[20:04] ---
    Well...
[20:05] ---
    Consider it a blessing that you've been able
    to distance yourself from him.
[20:09] ---
    You must refrain at all costs from doing anything
    that would awaken the sleeping tiger.
[20:14] ---
    But I already told him I'd go.
[20:16] ---
    Keeping your promises, no matter what.
[20:18] ---
    You need something in your life
    that you can have absolute faith in.
[20:21] ---
    Isn't that the policy you live by?
[20:24] ---
    Do whatever you want. However...
[20:27] ---
    when you fail, it might be
    the last time I ever see your face.
[20:35] ---
    (2) ON STUDYING ABROAD
[20:37] ---
    A.
    GO WITH
    PRESIDENT
[20:38] ---
    And finally, regarding that grown-up kiss...
[20:43] ---
    what are we going to do about it?
[20:46] ---
    Seriously, what are we going to do? Well?
[20:48] ---
    President might be thinking
    that I'm a super-nympho lust monster!
[20:52] ---
    I mean it, what are we going to do?
[20:54] ---
    All you have to do is explain yourself.
[20:56] ---
    That you just misread the situation.
[20:58] ---
    But that would be embarrassing!
[21:00] ---
    I think it would be better
    to take the stance of a grown-up woman!
[21:01] ---
    A KISS?
    THAT'S NO MORE
    THAN A GREETING
[21:03] ---
    What a ludicrous conversation.
[21:05] ---
    That's why you never should've kissed him.
[21:07] ---
    In the first place, a kiss is something
    that the man should seek.
[21:11] ---
    A woman going for a kiss...
    How disgraceful is that!
[21:13] ---
    I think you're being sexist!
[21:15] ---
    She's right! Who decided
    that a woman can't kiss first?
[21:19] ---
    You have no clue, do you?
[21:22] ---
    I'd rather have a kiss stolen from me,
    not the other way around!
[21:25] ---
    Huh?
[21:26] ---
    What? But why?
[21:28] ---
    Because it would make my heart
    pound harder that way!
[21:30] ---
    We all have different fetishes!
[21:33] ---
    Kissing impulsively...
    We're not beasts in the wild!
[21:33] ---
    IRRITATED
[21:36] ---
    Would it kill you to learn a little restraint?
[21:39] ---
    It's only natural to want
    to kiss someone you're in love with!
[21:42] ---
    That's right! If you really love someone,
    there's just no holding back!
[21:45] ---
    You can say stuff like that
    because you're not in love with President, Ice!
[21:52] ---
    Me...
[21:54] ---
    not in love with...
[21:56] ---
    Miyuki Shirogane?
[21:58] ---
    You happy-go-lucky insurgents...
[22:02] ---
    You can't see the forest for the trees
    because you put your own feelings first!
[22:07] ---
    You have no idea how much I've held back!
[22:09] ---
    How I've continued to hold back all this time!
[22:12] ---
    It was none other than I
    who first fell in love with Miyuki Shirogane!
[22:15] ---
    More than you two ever have!
[22:17] ---
    I'm also the one who's the most serious
    about my future with him!
[22:22] ---
    Here I am, racking my brain
    to find a way to make him mine,
[22:25] ---
    yet you both keep doing as you please!
[22:27] ---
    How arrogant of you,
    you Kaguya-come-latelys!
[22:31] ---
    Hey, hold up.
[22:32] ---
    Don't argue with yourself. It's just sad.
[22:35] ---
    Right! In the first place, it doesn't matter
    who fell in love with him first!
[22:38] ---
    I mean, aren't you even happy
    that President kissed you?
[22:41] ---
    Oh, would you shut up?
[22:45] ---
    It's like your brains
    are in la-la land, you morons!
[22:50] ---
    Don't you dare lecture me!
[22:53] ---
    I've been longing all this time
    for President to kiss me!
[22:58] ---
    So, what were you thinking?
[23:00] ---
    Go die and rot in hell!
[23:02] ---
    For once in your lives,
    consider my feelings, too!
[23:05] ---
    Oh, this isn't good.
[23:16] ---
    Are you sure
    you want to conceal the real you?
[23:31] ---
    Are you awake, Shinomiya?
[23:33] ---
    Morning.
[23:39] ---
    Yes.
[23:40] ---
    It seems I've been fast asleep for a while.
[23:43] ---
    Huh?
[23:45] ---
    Good morning, Shirogane.
[23:50] ---
    I'd appreciate a cup of coffee, please.
[23:54] ---
    I'm throwing
    a Christmas party at
    my place this year.
    Wanna come?
[23:55] ---
    Hmm, I'll come
    if I can make it.
[23:56] ---
    Sis texted me
    that Kaguya will be there.
[23:59] ---
    I'M COMING

    GLUB
    GLUB
[01:38] ---
    This tastes terrible.
[01:40] ---
    S-Sorry.
[01:42] ---
    The only good that came out of this
[01:44] ---
    was that I can now appreciate
    the coffee my household staff brews.
[01:47] ---
    This tastes like stewed sea slugs.
[01:50] ---
    I'll ask Secretary Fujiwara
    to show me how to brew coffee.
[01:55] ---
    Fujiwara suddenly finds herself
    in a tight spot.
[01:58] ---
    Shinomiya's sure in a horrible mood.
[02:01] ---
    Persona!
[02:03] ---
    Every one of us plays a different role
    for other people, depending on what they seek.
[02:09] ---
    Who you are when you're with friends.
[02:12] ---
    Who you are when you're with a lover.
[02:14] ---
    Not to mention who you are online.
[02:16] ---
    There! "L-O-L!"
[02:20] ---
    All the more so if you're
    a member of the Shinomiya Family.
[02:25] ---
    The upbringing she received
    was positively spartan...
[02:29] ---
    so in order to shield her mind
    from that environment,
[02:32] ---
    she has been known to frequently
    produce robust personas.
[02:37] ---
    IF YOU ARE A SHINOMIYA,
    DO NOT RELY ON ANYONE. INSTEAD, USE THEM.
    DO NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING. INSTEAD, TAKE.
    DO NOT LOVE ANYONE. THERE IS NO INSTEAD.
[02:40] ---
    These masks, so deeply ingrained in her life,
    can be so unyielding at times...
[02:47] ---
    that you would think...
[02:48] ---
    she was someone else entirely.
[02:54] ---
    Shirogane...
[02:56] ---
    I mean "President"...
[02:57] ---
    Shall we discuss
    what happened the other day?
[03:00] ---
    Here it comes!
[03:01] ---
    How would you define
    our relationship, President?
[03:07] ---
    Student council comrades...
[03:09] ---
    doesn't sound at all inspiring.
[03:11] ---
    Friends...
[03:13] ---
    doesn't sound right, either.
[03:16] ---
    Since we've come this far...
[03:18] ---
    I'd say...
[03:20] ---
    that we're boyfriend and girlfriend...
[03:23] ---
    maybe.
[03:24] ---
    Boyfriend and girlfriend
    is a bit far-fetched, isn't it?
[03:26] ---
    Seriously?
[03:29] ---
    One kiss, and you're acting
    like my boyfriend?
[03:32] ---
    Only a child would believe
    that a kiss makes you instant lovers.
[03:36] ---
    Well, not that I blame you
    for getting ahead of yourself, President.
[03:40] ---
    After all, I've known from the start
    that you had feelings for me.
[03:45] ---
    Who are you to talk, Shinomiya?
[03:47] ---
    What was your reason for kissing me?
[03:49] ---
    You did it because you like me, right?
[03:51] ---
    In that case...
[03:53] ---
    I wish you wouldn't make
    such a commotion over a mere kiss or two.
[03:57] ---
    Please, I would kiss anyone
    if I was in the mood.
[04:01] ---
    On that note...
[04:02] ---
    would you like to do it now?
[04:06] ---
    Kiss?
[04:08] ---
    THUMP
[04:21] ---
    THUMP
    THUMP
[04:24] ---
    WHACK
[04:27] ---
    What's this?
    A man waiting for a kiss?
[04:29] ---
    How creepy!
[04:30] ---
    No, I was just... I thought...
[04:33] ---
    I thought she was going to force
    a kiss on me again!
[04:36] ---
    That kiss is carved
    deep inside Shirogane's mind.
[04:41] ---
    Hey... I know it was kind of...
[04:44] ---
    But you didn't have to hit me!
[04:46] ---
    I apologize.
[04:47] ---
    But it's the Shinomiya way
    to discipline the indecisive by hitting them.
[04:50] ---
    Anyway...
[04:52] ---
    I don't see myself
    wanting to date such a spineless man.
[04:56] ---
    We're done for today. Good night.
[04:59] ---
    Huh?
[05:00] ---
    Oh my.
[05:02] ---
    I was planning to call
    for someone to pick me up...
[05:05] ---
    but apparently,
    smartphone batteries drain quickly.
[05:08] ---
    Therefore, I shall walk home.
[05:10] ---
    Huh? Are you sure you should be
    walking home alone at this hour?
[05:14] ---
    Then, what do you propose?
[05:21] ---
    What's gotten into Shinomiya?
[05:24] ---
    I thought things were pretty great
    until yesterday,
[05:27] ---
    but now she's saying
    she doesn't want to date me.
[05:30] ---
    And here she is, walking home with me.
[05:33] ---
    And that cold look on her face... Like ice.
[05:36] ---
    It's like she's reverted to being the Shinomiya
    who rejected everyone around her!
[05:42] ---
    Something happened! I just know it!
[05:45] ---
    Did her father give her a hard time
    about studying abroad?
[05:47] ---
    Or maybe he's against her dating!
[05:50] ---
    Don't tell me she's going to announce
    that she has a fiancé!
[05:53] ---
    Is that why she took this long
    to tell me that she couldn't date me?
[05:56] ---
    Figure it out, Miyuki!
[05:58] ---
    Shinomiya's got to be sending
    some kind of sign!
[06:01] ---
    You men are certainly lucky.
[06:04] ---
    Even if you walk around with your hands
    in your pockets like that, no one reprimands you.
[06:12] ---
    My fingertips feel frozen.
[06:14] ---
    Shinomiya's sighing because
    she's thinking about male privilege.
[06:19] ---
    In the Shinomiya household,
    where they treat people like objects,
[06:21] ---
    one example of male privilege would be...
[06:23] ---
    Could it be a fiancé after all?
[06:25] ---
    Shirogane is quite agitated.
[06:28] ---
    FLAP
    FLAP
[06:28] ---
    Shinomiya, what is it
    that you want me to do?
[06:31] ---
    Just tell me what you're feeling!
[06:33] ---
    Really, it's so bitterly cold!
[06:35] ---
    It feels like my heart
    is about to get frozen, as well!
[06:39] ---
    One of us seems to have
    warm hands! How lucky!
[06:44] ---
    Does that mean she wants me to rescue her
    from the cold with my hands?
[06:48] ---
    This is Shinomiya's cry for help!
[06:50] ---
    I...
[06:51] ---
    FLAP
    FLAP
[06:52] ---
    I have to do something about this!
[07:01] ---
    President...
[07:04] ---
    I see that you're not even capable
    of escorting a girl home the proper way.
[07:08] ---
    How cute.
[07:28] ---
    So spineless.
[07:37] ---
    L-O-L... I say.
[07:41] ---
    MEGA LOL
[07:42] ---
    DECEMBER 22
[07:51] ---
    You don't have to put my hair up today.
[07:54] ---
    Oh my.
[07:55] ---
    But is there still some of that perfume
    my sister-in-law gave me?
[07:59] ---
    Oh my, oh my.

[08:25] ---
    Two coffins...
[08:26] ---
    Hey, what do you think
    you're counting, President?
[08:27] ---
    Three coffins...
[08:29] ---
    What do you mean?
[08:31] ---
    I'm counting sheep.
[08:33] ---
    I didn't get any sleep last night.
[08:34] ---
    No, you started counting coffins
    midway through!
[08:37] ---
    Please don't count anything that suggests
    you won't wake up once you fall asleep!
[08:42] ---
    Morning, two days before Christmas Eve.
[08:45] ---
    There are now cracks in Shirogane's heart.
[08:48] ---
    And no wonder.
[08:49] ---
    Just when he thought he'd finally
    get to start dating Kaguya,
[08:52] ---
    thanks to the culture festival
    and all its promise,
[08:55] ---
    Kaguya suddenly... uttered the words,
    "I cannot date such a spineless man!"
[08:58] ---
    And as if that weren't enough...
[09:01] ---
    How cute.
[09:02] ---
    Trauma words!
[09:05] ---
    You can't blame him
    for suffering a mental collapse.
[09:05] ---
    Maybe I'll go look at the penguins
    in the aquarium.
[09:09] ---
    Hello!
[09:12] ---
    Hey...
[09:13] ---
    You're wearing your hair straight, Shinomiya.
[09:15] ---
    You haven't done that
    since you put makeup on me.
[09:18] ---
    Yes, I remember that day.
[09:21] ---
    I have my makeup kit with me today,
    so would you care to do it again?
[09:24] ---
    Uh, no, I think I'll pass.
[09:27] ---
    Well, what a pity.
[09:28] ---
    Huh?
[09:30] ---
    She's in a good mood today.
[09:32] ---
    Morning, Shinomiya!
[09:35] ---
    Huh?
[09:37] ---
    Snub.
[09:38] ---
    Why's she ignoring me?
[09:39] ---
    About the Christmas party I'm throwing...
[09:42] ---
    Yes?
[09:43] ---
    First, a toast! Of course
    it'll be with non-alcoholic drinks!
[09:44] ---
    Listen, didn't you think
    Shinomiya was acting weird today?
[09:46] ---
    Yes, of course.
[09:48] ---
    And we'll save the gift-exchanging until last!
[09:48] ---
    No. She was the same as usual with me.
[09:50] ---
    Sounds good to me.
[09:52] ---
    And I thought we could all have hot pot
    before we all get into a Christmas-y mood!
[09:56] ---
    Sounds good to me.
[09:58] ---
    And she's acting
    like her usual self with Fujiwara.
[10:02] ---
    If we're talking weird,
    she was way weirder yesterday.
[10:05] ---
    Yeah, that was a sight to see, too.
[10:06] ---
    Pwesident! Pwesident! Pwesident!
[10:10] ---
    I really need to talk to her again, properly.
[10:25] ---
    Vice President Shinomiya...
[10:27] ---
    You're wearing perfume, aren't you?
    That's against the rules.
[10:30] ---
    Oh my. It's only the slightest of dabs.
    Your sense of smell is astounding.
[10:36] ---
    No. Take this as a gift from me, Iino.
[10:39] ---
    What?
[10:40] ---
    Don't you ever use perfume?
[10:42] ---
    Of course not. I never...
[10:45] ---
    Oh? But Christmas
    is just around the corner.
[10:48] ---
    This is as good a time as any
    for you to learn, is it not?
[10:51] ---
    Your body, Iino...
[10:55] ---
    smells so sweet.
[11:00] ---
    Perfume is fragrant
    because it blends with your body scent.
[11:04] ---
    The nape of your neck is warm, so applying it
    there will really bring out the aroma.
[11:08] ---
    As long as you apply it 30 minutes
    before seeing the person you wish to conquer...
[11:12] ---
    your body temperature
    will have done its job by then,
[11:15] ---
    and you'll be able to draw
    that gentleman toward you.
[11:17] ---
    And now you're just as guilty.
[11:23] ---
    But...
[11:25] ---
    doesn't this smell like something
    a middle-aged woman would wear?
[11:28] ---
    Like someone who's really pushy.
    I don't think it's for high school girls.
[11:33] ---
    Wrong! As I explained earlier, a perfume's scent
    changes with the passage of time.
[11:38] ---
    Yes, it's an acquired taste initially,
    but after 30 minutes—
[11:41] ---
    Shinomiya...
[11:42] ---
    Even right now,
    it doesn't smell at all like—
[11:43] ---
    Do you have a minute?
[11:45] ---
    It smells just like my middle-aged aunts.
[11:50] ---
    Shinomiya?
[11:56] ---
    Why are you running away, Shinomiya?
[12:05] ---
    Kaguya?
[12:07] ---
    Shinomiya...
[12:15] ---
    Why?
[12:17] ---
    What did I do?
[12:18] ---
    What did I ever do to you, Shinomiya?
[12:24] ---
    You can't get away from me now!
[12:27] ---
    Why did you run, Shinomiya?
[12:29] ---
    Don't come near me! Please!
[12:31] ---
    I'm telling you...
[12:33] ---
    Don't come any closer to me!
[12:36] ---
    She hates me that much?
[12:38] ---
    Tell me...
[12:41] ---
    why.
[12:42] ---
    The answer is simple.
[12:44] ---
    Because it hasn't been 30 minutes yet
    since Kaguya applied the perfume!
[12:49] ---
    With the passage of time,
    perfume changes as follows.
[12:51] ---
    TOP NOTE
[12:52] ---
    The perfume Kaguya has on
    is renowned for its middle note!
[12:54] ---
    MIDDLE NOTE
[12:56] ---
    Immediately after applying it,
    it smells somewhat old-lady-ish.
[12:58] ---
    OLD LADY RELATIVE
[12:59] ---
    But...
[13:01] ---
    at this very moment, it hits her!
[13:03] ---
    Thanks to that dramatic chase, her body temp
    has surged. And she's sweating profusely!
[13:08] ---
    The middle note emerges
    when the aroma evaporates,
[13:10] ---
    blending with the wearer's own scent
    in the most optimal way. Also known as...
[13:14] ---
    "the heart note," which has now arrived!
[13:18] ---
    Fine. From now on,
    I'll keep my distance, Shinomiya.
[13:22] ---
    Come back here.
[13:23] ---
    What?
[13:24] ---
    - Where do you think you're going?
    - Huh?
[13:26] ---
    But you just told me to get lost!
[13:29] ---
    You can stay now.
[13:30] ---
    Actually, you have to stay or else.
[13:32] ---
    I have no clue about the female mind!
[13:36] ---
    Hey, Shinomiya... Don't you think
    you were acting strange yesterday?
[13:40] ---
    I was the same as always.
    The one thing that comes to mind...
[13:43] ---
    is that perhaps I was suppressing
    the absurd side of me that got a bit carried away.
[13:48] ---
    Carried away?
[13:52] ---
    Though I did make an outrageous
    promise to study abroad,
[13:56] ---
    once I regained my composure
    and gave it some serious thought,
[13:59] ---
    I realized that it was a decision
    so horrific, it left me shaking.
[14:06] ---
    Then, was that kiss also something you did
    because you were carried away?
[14:10] ---
    I suppose you could say that.
[14:14] ---
    You seem to be taking
    that kiss extremely seriously,
[14:18] ---
    but for me, that's all
    a kiss really amounts to.
[14:23] ---
    On that note, would you like
    to do it right now?
[14:29] ---
    Kiss me?
[14:31] ---
    Huh?
[14:36] ---
    I could never do that!
[14:38] ---
    A kiss isn't something
    you do so casually!
[14:41] ---
    If you're not feeling it,
    there's just no point—
[14:45] ---
    Ow! Why'd you kick me?
[14:47] ---
    Pardon me.
[14:48] ---
    It's the Shinomiya way to kick anyone
    who'd hold a kiss more sacred than they should.
[14:53] ---
    What the heck are you
    so mad about? Just tell me!
[14:56] ---
    Well...
[15:00] ---
    You've been blowing me off,
    you look more gloomy than usual,
[15:03] ---
    you're letting your hair down,
    you resort to violence!
[15:06] ---
    And you smell so nice
    like perfume, which you never use!
[15:08] ---
    I'm worried about you, okay?
[15:12] ---
    Did you say I smell nice?
[15:14] ---
    Yeah, I did! You smell amazing!
[15:16] ---
    And this has to be a first, right?
[15:21] ---
    If only you'd noticed
    like you did just now...
[15:24] ---
    then I'd always be in a good mood.
[15:28] ---
    I know this is a real stretch...
[15:32] ---
    but last night, when you were going on and on
    about how cold you were...
[15:36] ---
    you weren't hinting that you wanted
    to hold hands, were you?
[15:42] ---
    And it's because I didn't hold your hand...
[15:45] ---
    that you're mad.
[15:48] ---
    Of...
[15:51] ---
    - Of course that's not what this is about!
    - Shinomiya!
[15:55] ---
    Yeah, of course not.
[15:58] ---
    Now you realize?
[16:00] ---
    SENSE OF SMELL:
    AS ACUTE
    AS THAT
    OF A SMALL DOG
[16:07] ---
    You want to consult me about love?
[16:09] ---
    Yes. As someone with a boyfriend,
[16:11] ---
    I thought that I could benefit
    from hearing your opinions.
[16:15] ---
    Well, of course I don't mind.
[16:20] ---
    You're letting your hair down today, I see.
[16:25] ---
    It reminds me of when we were first-years.
[16:30] ---
    Back then, you...
[16:32] ---
    were known as "Kaguya the Ice Princess."
[16:35] ---
    So unapproachable... Everybody's idol...
[16:38] ---
    Mine included...
[16:41] ---
    Back then, she was attractive
    in the same way as Maki during her tense moments.
[16:48] ---
    So, Kaguya—
[16:49] ---
    I've been wondering about this
    for quite a while.
[16:53] ---
    You frequently change the way
    you address me, do you not?
[16:56] ---
    MISS
    KAGUYA
[16:57] ---
    SHINOMIYA
[16:58] ---
    KAGUYA
[16:59] ---
    You're the only one at this school
    who's so informal with me.
[17:03] ---
    In fact, you address me
    as if we've always been close.
[17:08] ---
    My apologies! That was
    overly familiar of me, wasn't it?
[17:11] ---
    No, I don't mind.
[17:12] ---
    I'm sorry! I won't address you
    so informally again, Miss Kaguya!
[17:17] ---
    I really don't mind.
[17:24] ---
    Are you serious, Miyuki?
[17:26] ---
    You want my advice about love?
[17:29] ---
    Yeah.
[17:30] ---
    I'd really like to learn
    more about how girls feel.
[17:33] ---
    I see. So as long as she's a woman,
    anyone will do.
[17:36] ---
    Don't put it that way!
[17:38] ---
    Well, if that's what you're after,
    leave it to me.
[17:41] ---
    After all, I'm a master of romance.
[17:43] ---
    Huh?
[17:45] ---
    I'm kidding.
[17:46] ---
    You're kidding?
[17:49] ---
    Never once have I experienced
    a successful romance.
[17:53] ---
    Look how blue the sky is.
[17:55] ---
    Damn, I asked the wrong person.
[17:58] ---
    So?
[17:59] ---
    So...
[18:01] ---
    what is it that you wanted to ask me?
[18:03] ---
    President has absolutely no clue
    about my feelings for him.
[18:07] ---
    President has absolutely no clue
    about my feelings for him.
[18:11] ---
    President has no clue about my feelings...
[18:13] ---
    President has no clue about my feelings...
[18:15] ---
    President has no clue—
[18:18] ---
    Are we talking about you and Shirogane?
[18:21] ---
    Yes, that's what I'm telling you.
[18:23] ---
    But normally, you'd start by saying,
    "I have this friend who..."
[18:28] ---
    You're already well aware, aren't you?
[18:30] ---
    Meaning that any such pretexts
    would be a waste of time.
[18:33] ---
    Realizing how ineffective it is
    to use the friend ploy! So impressive!
[18:37] ---
    Miss Kaguya,
    you're 100 times smarter than usual!
[18:42] ---
    Well, this is about a friend of mine, okay?
[18:45] ---
    The woman actually said this.
    That she'd kiss anyone if she was in the mood.
[18:49] ---
    And then she asked,
    "Would you like to do it now?"
[18:52] ---
    I mean, who says that?
[18:56] ---
    Actually, that sounds so sweet!
[18:58] ---
    I know exactly how that girl feels!
[19:02] ---
    So, she'd kiss anyone
    as long as she was in the mood?
[19:05] ---
    Obviously, she's trying to hide her true feelings
    behind those assertive words.
[19:09] ---
    True feelings?
[19:10] ---
    What she's really saying is,
    "You're the only one I'd ever be in the mood to kiss."
[19:14] ---
    If you wanna dig even deeper,
    what she's really trying to say is...
[19:17] ---
    I want President to kiss me.
[19:21] ---
    What am I supposed to do?
[19:23] ---
    I tried every which way
    to make President kiss me,
[19:25] ---
    but so far, nothing's worked,
    and I'm at the end of my tether.
[19:29] ---
    You want President... to kiss you?
[19:31] ---
    Yes.
[19:32] ---
    Kiss you, Miss Kaguya?
[19:34] ---
    That's exactly what I just said.
[19:36] ---
    But why?
[19:37] ---
    For someone who already knows,
[19:39] ---
    that's quite a mean thing to ask.
[19:43] ---
    Because I'm in love with President.
[19:46] ---
    What other reason could there be?
[19:49] ---
    Ka...
[19:50] ---
    Kaguya!
[19:50] ---
    FLUTTER
[19:52] ---
    Why are you back to addressing me
    informally now?
[19:54] ---
    But... I can't believe
    you owned up to it just like that!
[19:57] ---
    I've already acknowledged
    my romantic feelings for him.
[20:01] ---
    Romantic feelings?
[20:02] ---
    If I'm in love with him,
    isn't it only natural to want him to kiss me?
[20:05] ---
    I want him to hold me close
    with those arms,
[20:07] ---
    and if he wants to go even further,
    I'd probably say yes—
[20:10] ---
    I got it! I got it, okay?
[20:15] ---
    At any rate, if you want him to kiss you,
[20:17] ---
    then all you have to do is be honest with him
    about your feelings, right?
[20:21] ---
    That, I cannot do.
[20:22] ---
    Why not?
[20:25] ---
    Whenever I'm in his presence...
[20:28] ---
    for some reason,
    I can't help being perverse.
[20:31] ---
    I totally get it!
[20:32] ---
    That's just it! Being with the person you love
    makes you act all hostile and aloof!
[20:37] ---
    Actually, does "hostile and aloof"
    really explain that behavior?
[20:41] ---
    I've been making all kinds of efforts!
[20:44] ---
    Like repeating over and over how cold I was,
    to get him to hold my hand!
[20:47] ---
    I mean, she's walking right next to me,
    venting all the while!
[20:50] ---
    And today I even put on some perfume!
[20:52] ---
    Then she ran off like her life depended on it!
[20:54] ---
    The truth is, I'm too embarrassed
    to even talk to him!
[20:56] ---
    When I said hello, she ignored me!
[20:58] ---
    Have some empathy!
[21:00] ---
    I'm asking you myself! Please try to have
    some empathy for how she feels!
[21:03] ---
    She's almost at the breaking point herself!
[21:05] ---
    So please, try to be understanding!
[21:08] ---
    You know, this person
    is the exact same type as me.
[21:12] ---
    I'm feeling so much sympathy for her,
    it's downright scary.
[21:15] ---
    If you told me we were related,
    I'd believe—
[21:19] ---
    Wait.
[21:21] ---
    Is this about you and Auntie Kaguya?
[21:26] ---
    I've had a feeling about you two for ages!
[21:28] ---
    How far have you gotten?
[21:30] ---
    What? No, actually...
[21:32] ---
    We shared a grown-up kiss
    at the culture festival.
[21:34] ---
    - Whaaaaat?
    - Whaaaaat?
[21:36] ---
    I thought we were friends,
    but you've beaten me to the punch!
[21:38] ---
    I wish I hadn't found out!
[21:41] ---
    A grown-up kiss!
[21:43] ---
    About 40 seconds.
[21:45] ---
    And now, the dots have been connected.
[21:47] ---
    But... that kiss was a mistake.
[21:50] ---
    Are you sure about that?
[21:52] ---
    What was your first kiss like,
    Miss Kashiwagi?
[21:55] ---
    Huh? You're making this about me?
[21:58] ---
    ONE SUMMER DAY...
[21:58] ---
    We were on our way home after a date.
[22:01] ---
    And while we were waiting
    for the light to change...
[22:05] ---
    out of nowhere, he...
[22:09] ---
    I wish I'd never found out!
[22:11] ---
    That's quite lovely.
[22:12] ---
    But it was all of a sudden
    in front of a mini-mart!
[22:15] ---
    There's nothing romantic about that.
[22:17] ---
    That's fine.
[22:20] ---
    I'd rather have an ordinary kiss
    just like everyone else in this world.
[22:27] ---
    All I want...
[22:30] ---
    is an ordinary romance.
[22:40] ---
    I wonder...
[22:43] ---
    what Shinomiya...
[22:45] ---
    thinks of me.
[23:10] ---
    Ice Kaguya is one of Kaguya Shinomiya's
    many diverse sides.
[23:16] ---
    She is...
[23:17] ---
    the manifestation of the wariness
    everyone has toward one another.
[23:21] ---
    At the same time, she is also
    the cowardly heart of one who's in love.
[23:27] ---
    But I love you.
[23:39] ---
    Today's battle result...
[23:41] ---
    Kaguya Shinomiya...
[23:44] ---
    loses.
[23:46] ---
    Miyuki's betrayed me!
[23:48] ---
    You're the only one for me, Yu!
[23:50] ---
    An unhinged person just threw herself into my
    arms saying the weirdest things at the worst time!
[23:56] ---
    HOW THEY LOOKED WAY BACK WHEN...

    DECEMBER 23
[01:35] ---
    Wow! You're looking even paler than usual!
[01:39] ---
    Well, I haven't been able to sleep lately.
[01:44] ---
    It's gotten so bad that I even made
    my own lunch for a change.
[01:47] ---
    TWITCH
[01:50] ---
    For Kaguya, it is just the second time in her life
    that she has laid eyes on this bento.
[01:56] ---
    Rolled omelets! Boiled vegetables!
    Grilled fish! Pickled plums!
[01:59] ---
    And once again,
[02:01] ---
    octopus-shaped sausages!
[02:02] ---
    LONG TIME NO SEE
[02:04] ---
    There was a time when,
    unable to admit her longing to taste it...
[02:06] ---
    Kaguya was left with only her frustration.
[02:08] ---
    RUMBLE
    RUMBLE
[02:08] ---
    But that was then, this is now!
[02:10] ---
    Now that she's coolheaded,
[02:13] ---
    she can take the appropriate action
    to further her goals!
[02:20] ---
    Oh my, how hungry I am!
[02:23] ---
    My chef's visiting his hometown today.
    It completely slipped my mind.
[02:27] ---
    Oh, dear, I feel as if my stomach
    and my back are about to stick together!
[02:30] ---
    What's up with Shinomiya?
[02:32] ---
    Could it be that...
[02:34] ---
    she wants me to give her
    a bite of my lunch?
[02:37] ---
    Hey, even when she's being standoffish,
    she has her cute moments!
[02:41] ---
    If that's the case, then why not?
[02:43] ---
    Oh!
[02:44] ---
    I would love some rolled omelet now!
[02:46] ---
    Rolled omelet, huh?
[02:47] ---
    Sh-Shinomiya?
[02:49] ---
    What, you're hungry, Kaguya?
[02:52] ---
    Well, these things happen!
[02:53] ---
    I'd be happy to share my bento with you!
[02:57] ---
    There's lots of sugar
    in these rolled omelets...
[02:59] ---
    so they're sweet and yummy!
[03:02] ---
    There you go!
[03:03] ---
    I'll pass.
[03:05] ---
    As I have been steering clear of sweets.
[03:08] ---
    What?
[03:09] ---
    But sweetness is justice!
[03:11] ---
    I believe you call yourself
    "the low-carb girl," correct?
[03:15] ---
    You should try to increase
    your vegetable consumption.
[03:18] ---
    But there's vermicelli salad, too.
[03:21] ---
    Are you aware just how much sugar
    vermicelli contains?
[03:24] ---
    Not to mention, these are all
    root vegetables high in sugar content.
[03:28] ---
    Being a carnivore
    doesn't make you a low-carb girl.
[03:32] ---
    If you consume copious amounts of meat
    and sugar, you're nothing but a glutton—
[03:35] ---
    SHRIEK
[03:36] ---
    Kaguya, you sound just like Ishigami!
[03:39] ---
    I just have to run off
    all that sugar, right?
[03:43] ---
    Close call!
[03:44] ---
    So, Shinomiya's laying off sweets?
[03:45] ---
    LOTS OF SUGAR
[03:48] ---
    Then what's the right answer?
[03:48] ---
    I'm so ravenous!
[03:51] ---
    Um... Shinomiya?
[03:55] ---
    Would you like to have half of my bento?
[04:00] ---
    Please don't get me wrong!
[04:02] ---
    It's not like hearing that conversation
    made me feel self-conscious about eating.
[04:06] ---
    Despite the fact that I can still hear
    your stomach growling?
[04:10] ---
    Thank you, but no thank you.
[04:12] ---
    Amount-wise, it's a bit...
[04:14] ---
    Meaning that since I always eat
    twice this much...
[04:16] ---
    I'm headed toward obesity?
[04:19] ---
    You're inhuman, Shinomiya!
[04:23] ---
    I see.
[04:24] ---
    Shinomiya has a tiny stomach.
    It's not like she can eat a whole spread!
[04:29] ---
    I'm going to go check on those two.
[04:34] ---
    I have no clue
    what's going through Shinomiya's mind.
[04:37] ---
    Dammit, would you man up, Miyuki?
[04:40] ---
    If I'm myself, I'll never get anywhere!
[04:43] ---
    Man up more!
[04:45] ---
    More!
[04:47] ---
    Pour it on!
[04:50] ---
    Shinomiya!
[04:53] ---
    You're hungry, right? Eat this!
[05:06] ---
    Sh-Shinomiya?
[05:12] ---
    Forgive me.
[05:13] ---
    I couldn't stop myself.
[05:15] ---
    Right.
[05:21] ---
    You have some ketchup
    on your mouth, too.
[05:24] ---
    Do I?
[05:26] ---
    Would you be so kind
    as to clean it off?
[05:29] ---
    Sure.
[05:32] ---
    Shinomiya, your hand—
[05:36] ---
    Shinomiya?
[05:41] ---
    Hurry.
[05:42] ---
    Clean it off.
[05:47] ---
    Hurry.
[05:51] ---
    Man up!
[05:56] ---
    Man up, Miyuki!
[06:07] ---
    I...
[06:08] ---
    have such an awful personality.
[06:14] ---
    I'd forgotten about it for so long.
[06:19] ---
    The fact that if I'm myself...
[06:22] ---
    I end up hurting those around me.
[06:44] ---
    Listen... Switch places with me.
[06:49] ---
    Weren't you going to make
    Pwesident kiss you?
[06:53] ---
    I've had enough.
[06:54] ---
    I'll step back now.
[06:57] ---
    You see...
[06:59] ---
    people never like people like me.
[07:04] ---
    That's how it's always been, remember?
[07:09] ---
    If you're a member of the Shinomiya Family,
    you must never rely on others.
[07:13] ---
    Other people are to be used and manipulated,
    and, if necessary, dumped overboard.
[07:18] ---
    You must never let
    your anger and grief show on your face.
[07:21] ---
    Crying is out of the question.
[07:25] ---
    Do you remember Toshiko?
[07:27] ---
    When we decided to give our teacher
    in the hospital 1000 folded cranes,
[07:30] ---
    and we were all folding them...
[07:33] ---
    Toshiko was such a slow folder,
    I went and told her to take it more seriously.
[07:40] ---
    And then she burst into tears.
[07:43] ---
    I said something similar
    to Kaoru in sixth grade, as well.
[07:47] ---
    At home, we get lashed on the back of the hands
    for not taking it more seriously, don't we?
[07:52] ---
    So, though it was only
    out of pure goodwill that I said that...
[07:52] ---
    TAKE IT MORE SERIOUSLY
[07:56] ---
    I'm taking it seriously as much as I can!
[07:58] ---
    You just don't know what it's like
    to not be able to do something!
[08:03] ---
    I don't understand how that feels,
    so what am I supposed to do?
[08:06] ---
    If you come from a good family,
    you don't have to do anything to draw others to you.
[08:11] ---
    But...
[08:12] ---
    WHY CAN'T YOU EVEN DO
    A SIMPLE THING
    LIKE THIS?
[08:12] ---
    in my case, they'd all desert me in tears.
[08:15] ---
    You're just special, that's all!
[08:17] ---
    Time after time, looking down on me!
[08:19] ---
    I'm only friends with you
    because my mother told me to!
[08:23] ---
    But I can't take being with you anymore!
[08:28] ---
    It's not as if I wanted to be born
    with this personality.
[08:33] ---
    I decided to distance myself from others.
[08:35] ---
    I thought...
[08:37] ---
    that by doing so,
    I could avoid hurting anyone.
[08:42] ---
    But the more I tried to keep people
    at arm's length, the more hurtful I sounded,
[08:47] ---
    and I ended up hurting scores of people.
[08:51] ---
    But at last, I managed to find peace.
[08:54] ---
    Though it was lonely being all by myself,
    I far preferred the sense of relief it brought me.
[09:00] ---
    If it meant not hurting anyone...
[09:03] ---
    it was far better...
[09:05] ---
    to be alone.
[09:10] ---
    And yet...
[09:21] ---
    For the first time in my life,
    I fell in love with someone.
[09:26] ---
    I, who had grown accustomed
    to hurting and rejecting others...
[09:32] ---
    now wished to grow closer to someone.
[09:37] ---
    Every time I hurt this person,
[09:40] ---
    it pains my heart.
[09:43] ---
    Are you crying?
[09:46] ---
    No, I'm not.
[09:49] ---
    You're stupid, you know.
[09:51] ---
    Now you're even trying to deceive yourself.
[09:56] ---
    Haven't I been through enough?
[09:59] ---
    Switch with me!
[10:00] ---
    You can be kind to him, can't you?
[10:03] ---
    - I won't.
    - But why not?
[10:05] ---
    President said so himself!
[10:07] ---
    That he hates people
    who hurt others and are unkind!
[10:10] ---
    And I'm selfish and antagonistic!
[10:12] ---
    I fear other people! I'm a coward!
[10:14] ---
    I'm always hurting people,
    and I don't have a shred of kindness!
[10:18] ---
    I have to hide those parts of me!
[10:20] ---
    The ugly person that I am!
[10:23] ---
    That no one can ever like!
[10:26] ---
    I just can't be sweet!
[10:35] ---
    I get it. I'm you after all.
[10:39] ---
    But you can't leave now.
[10:42] ---
    You still haven't fulfilled your wish.
[10:44] ---
    To make Pwesident kiss you!
[10:47] ---
    I told you, I don't care anymore!
[10:50] ---
    That's what we all wish for, too.
[10:53] ---
    If that high-maintenance,
    unpleasant half of Kaguya Shinomiya...
[11:00] ---
    ...were to receive a kiss from Pwesident...
[11:06] ---
    - ...I'm sure we'd die of happiness!
    - ...I'm sure we'd die of happiness!
[11:28] ---
    President...
[11:30] ---
    is with the doctor!
[11:31] ---
    I've been told what happened.
[11:34] ---
    Let me examine him.
[11:42] ---
    The quack is here!
[11:44] ---
    That was some run!
[11:46] ---
    SLUUURP
[11:46] ---
    I have to hydrate myself!
[11:46] ---
    A TAPIOCA
    MILK TEA
    HAS THE
    SAME AMOUNT
    OF CALORIES
    AS A BOWL
    OF RAMEN
[11:52] ---
    President...
[11:54] ---
    What shall I do if he's seriously ill?
[12:00] ---
    At this time...
[12:02] ---
    all we can do is pray that he'll be all right.
[12:05] ---
    Let's see. I know what this is.
    Just as I suspected.
[12:10] ---
    You're lovesick.
[12:13] ---
    Is there a disease by that name?
[12:16] ---
    Sleep deprivation
    due to pining for one's love...
[12:19] ---
    Blacking out when pressed for a kiss...
[12:21] ---
    In a nutshell, that's what this points to.
[12:24] ---
    Like I said, you're lovesick.
[12:27] ---
    Huh? Just shoot me.
[12:29] ---
    You know, butterflies. Pining.
[12:31] ---
    Doctor, people have gone back
    to saying "I have a crush" nowadays.
[12:36] ---
    Just shoot me.
[12:37] ---
    Don't worry. This isn't the first case
    I've ever seen, so I know what I'm doing.
[12:43] ---
    That being said,
[12:44] ---
    it's still worrisome that you collapsed.
    Can you try to be a little more easygoing?
[12:49] ---
    You're still only 17 or so, right?
[12:52] ---
    When I was your age, I messed around with girls
    like there was no tomorrow, super casual about it.
[12:58] ---
    And you fathered a child at 17, didn't you?
[13:01] ---
    Why the reveal?
[13:03] ---
    And then my own son had
    a shotgun wedding himself at 17.
[13:07] ---
    I guess it's in our blood.
[13:09] ---
    My grandson'll be 17 this year, too,
    so I'm trembling with fear.
[13:11] ---
    CAN'T WAIT
    FOR CHRISTMAS,
    HUH?
[13:12] ---
    YEAH, IT'S SO SWEET!
[13:14] ---
    Why are we talking about this?
[13:17] ---
    At any rate, you're putting
    a little too much pressure on yourself.
[13:19] ---
    If something's eating at you,
    feel free to spill your guts to us.
[13:23] ---
    Nothing's eating at me.
[13:26] ---
    It can be soothing
    just to talk about it to someone.
[13:29] ---
    I said there's nothing!
[13:35] ---
    If I don't give it my all, I'm worthless.
[13:37] ---
    That's why I'm always so intense.
[13:40] ---
    But...
[13:40] ---
    You've really been bottling this up like crazy.
[13:44] ---
    I...
[13:46] ---
    I took the entrance exams for kindergarten
    because it was what my mother wanted.
[13:50] ---
    But... I was a total failure.
[13:53] ---
    And I failed all my entrance exams
    for elementary school, too.
[13:58] ---
    I could feel my mother losing interest in me
    after I didn't get into any of those schools.
[14:04] ---
    That must've been so hard.
[14:06] ---
    I...
[14:07] ---
    Even when my mother left us,
[14:10] ---
    I was sure she'd come get me someday,
    so I kept plugging away at my studies!
[14:15] ---
    But you know, it's not like everyone
    wants you to be smart.
[14:20] ---
    Wherever I go,
    no one will accept me as I am.
[14:25] ---
    Hey, General Affairs Manager Shirogane...
[14:27] ---
    Why the long face?
[14:29] ---
    He just got the cold shoulder
    from the Shinomiya girl.
[14:33] ---
    He's dejected over a trivial thing
    like that. Can you believe it?
[14:37] ---
    Did you say "trivial"?
[14:38] ---
    Well, Treasurer Ryuju is totally fearless.
[14:42] ---
    Huh! In any situation, once people
    look down on you, it's game over.
[14:46] ---
    You're a member of the student council,
    you're smart, and you're not bad-looking.
[14:50] ---
    But this is what you get when you grovel!
[14:54] ---
    If you would just cop
    an "I'm God's gift to women" attitude,
[14:58] ---
    then nobody would ever look down on you.
[15:01] ---
    How can you expect to be popular with the girls
    if you don't show some bravado?
[15:06] ---
    Bravado, huh?
[15:08] ---
    But...
[15:10] ---
    it was spot on.
[15:11] ---
    Shinomiya...
[15:13] ---
    Compete with me on the next exams.
[15:16] ---
    If, for some reason, I lose to you,
    I'll do anything you want.
[15:20] ---
    What's this all of a sudden?
    I refuse to do such a thing.
[15:23] ---
    Are you afraid of losing to me?
[15:26] ---
    Excuse me?
[15:30] ---
    How insolent.
[15:32] ---
    State your name.
[15:34] ---
    From that day onward...
[15:34] ---
    NUMBER 1:
    MIYUKI SHIROGANE
    NUMBER 2:
    KAGUYA SHINOMIYA
    NUMBER 3:
    MAKI SHIJO
    NUMBER 4:
    KAZUNE ABE
    NUMBER 5:
    TAIGA ARAKAWA
[15:36] ---
    Shinomiya began to perceive me
    as an individual.
[15:39] ---
    It wasn't just Shinomiya.
[15:41] ---
    The whole school became aware of me...
[15:44] ---
    as Miyuki Shirogane,
    the next student council president.
[15:49] ---
    Until then, I'd been invisible.
[15:51] ---
    But finally...
[15:53] ---
    That's quite a massive social mask
    you've been wearing.
[15:58] ---
    It was the do-or-die me
    who kissed Shinomiya.
[16:02] ---
    The me...
[16:04] ---
    who's always going all out,
    full of bravado.
[16:07] ---
    To make the person I'm in love with
    fall in love with me,
[16:10] ---
    I have to create a persona
    who's nothing like me.
[16:14] ---
    To become Shinomiya's equal,
[16:16] ---
    I have to go far enough
    to collapse once or twice.
[16:21] ---
    I see.
[16:22] ---
    Boys will be boys.
[16:24] ---
    In that case, you should see it through,
    until that bravado becomes your true—
[16:29] ---
    But she was crying, you know.
[16:31] ---
    What?
[16:32] ---
    I'm thinking she might be feeling
    responsible, too.
[16:35] ---
    She was totally pale,
    looking after you.
[16:38] ---
    You should know more than anyone else
    how sensitive she is.
[16:41] ---
    How it worries her to see you
    pushing yourself so hard.
[16:46] ---
    To pick up where I left off—
[16:47] ---
    I find it quite stimulating to see the moment
    a boy's vulnerabilities are exposed!
[16:51] ---
    At the end of the day, it's that gap!
[16:53] ---
    It always gets to me when I see
    a gung-ho kid in a moment of weakness!
[16:56] ---
    I can't give any sound advice
    with my assistant butting in.
[17:01] ---
    Even so,
[17:03] ---
    I'm still too scared to expose who I am.
[17:16] ---
    A mask isn't something
    that you can easily remove.
[17:19] ---
    You're both being cowardly.
[17:22] ---
    What are you going to do, Lady Kaguya?
[17:25] ---
    I love seeing President giving his all.
[17:30] ---
    But that's not the only thing.
[17:32] ---
    I have to tell him.
[17:35] ---
    It always gets to me when I see
    a gung-ho kid in a moment of weakness.
[17:40] ---
    Even I...
[17:41] ---
    understand that much.
[17:47] ---
    And now here's the sketchy
    middle-aged man!
[17:52] ---
    Well, not that I didn't see this
    coming eventually.
[17:54] ---
    Oh well...
[17:55] ---
    get some rest tonight.
[18:10] ---
    Good work.
    See you tomorrow.
    READ 4
[18:10] ---
    We'll take care
    of everything here,
    so please
    just get some rest
[18:10] ---
    President!?
    Are you
    all right now!?
[18:12] ---
    Please don't die!
    TEARS TEARS TEARS
[18:16] ---
    It was just sleep deprivation,
    so no worries!
    I'm home now!
[18:30] ---
    Are you okay?
    Try not to overdo it
[18:30] ---
    HERTHAKA
[18:37] ---
    Are you okay?
    Try not to overdo it
    READ
[18:37] ---
    MIYUKI SHIROGANE
[18:38] ---
    How can I ensure
    that President won't overdo it?
[18:43] ---
    President is quite stubborn,
[18:45] ---
    so even if I ask him to stop,
    he'll go on pushing himself.
[18:48] ---
    Not only that...
[18:49] ---
    but I can never be articulate when I see him.
[18:53] ---
    Please, will you drop the maiden act? Huh?
[18:56] ---
    MIYUKI SHIROGANE
[18:57] ---
    How's Shinomiya doing?
    I know I've made her worry.
[19:05] ---
    Shinomiya!
[19:08] ---
    How are you doing?
[19:09] ---
    Sorry to make you worry.
[19:13] ---
    What kind of game is this?
[19:14] ---
    This is practice.
[19:16] ---
    If you can't be articulate
    when you see President,
[19:20] ---
    then you should practice with me
    playing him.
[19:23] ---
    Say whatever you want,
    and don't hold back.
[19:25] ---
    We can simulate with accuracy
    using the power of IT.
[19:29] ---
    How ridiculous.
[19:32] ---
    All right, then, President, do you like me?
[19:37] ---
    Do you like
    Lady Kaguya?
[19:39] ---
    Well...
[19:40] ---
    I view you as a member
    of the opposite sex for sure.
[19:44] ---
    What a farce this is.
[19:47] ---
    Oh, never mind. Let's keep going.
[19:50] ---
    The way you won't come right out
    and say you like me is so Shirogane.
[19:53] ---
    But I think it'd be a more faithful rendition
    if you sounded pushier.
[19:57] ---
    Also, perhaps you should put on
    some men's clothing.
[19:59] ---
    Did we have any school uniforms
    in the house?
[20:01] ---
    You just said it was a farce,
    and now all these demands?
[20:05] ---
    Lately...
[20:07] ---
    she's been giving me
    the cold shoulder
[20:09] ---
    Hey, Shinomiya...
[20:11] ---
    Why the cold shoulder lately?
[20:13] ---
    Because I can't be honest
    with you, that's all.
[20:17] ---
    The truth is,
    I want to be kinder to you. But...
[20:20] ---
    The truth is, she wants to be kinder to you,
    but her pride keeps getting in the way......
    I think that's what it is.
    Just my two cents.
[20:20] ---
    Her pride keeps getting in the way.
    I think that's what it is.
[20:25] ---
    Hey...
[20:27] ---
    This sounds like Shinomiya talking,
    it's so convincing, for some reason.
[20:31] ---
    Gotta give props to that maid of hers.
[20:34] ---
    So, when did you first start liking me?
[20:38] ---
    Um...
[20:40] ---
    Ever since the spring of our first year.
[20:42] ---
    Oh, please.
[20:44] ---
    We hadn't even met yet then.
[20:47] ---
    How much do you like me, President?
[20:50] ---
    Probably way more than you think, Shinomiya!
[20:53] ---
    FLOUNDER
    KICK
[20:54] ---
    It pleases me that it pleases you this much.
[20:57] ---
    When did you start liking me?
    How much do you like me?
[20:58] ---
    Come on, Herthaka!
    What kind of questions are these?
[21:03] ---
    I've done all the listening until now.
[21:05] ---
    Now you're going to answer my questions.
[21:08] ---
    What I want to ask you, Shinomiya...
[21:12] ---
    The you that I always see...
[21:14] ---
    or who you are now...
[21:16] ---
    Which is the real Shinomiya?
[21:20] ---
    They're all real.
[21:22] ---
    Who doesn't hide their weak spots?
[21:27] ---
    I've only been doing
    what everyone else does.
[21:31] ---
    The day we kissed...
[21:34] ---
    I was so happy, and I thought my heart
    would be bursting with joy for a while,
[21:40] ---
    but then I felt a sorrow
    like a knife to my heart.
[21:43] ---
    I wondered why, and it hit me right away.
[21:49] ---
    You won't show me all there is to you.
[21:54] ---
    And then...
[21:56] ---
    I realized that I was the same way.
[22:02] ---
    Right now,
[22:05] ---
    I think I'd like to be the one to confess.
[22:07] ---
    Seriously?
[22:09] ---
    Yes.
[22:10] ---
    It'd be too sad if we were to hide half of ourselves
    and become boyfriend and girlfriend,
[22:14] ---
    both knowing only one half of each other.
[22:18] ---
    I...
[22:20] ---
    want to show you all of me,
    and having done that, I...
[22:28] ---
    I want to tell you...
[22:30] ---
    that I love all of you.
[22:36] ---
    A relationship in which
    you don't hide your soul
[22:39] ---
    That's the kind of romance
[22:42] ---
    Lady Kaguya is seeking
[22:46] ---
    Don't hide, huh?
[22:50] ---
    Shinomiya, that's what you say
    when you have it all.
[22:54] ---
    I'm way weaker than Shinomiya thinks.
[22:56] ---
    Brother...
[22:58] ---
    You haven't eaten
    any of your rice porridge.
[23:00] ---
    For obsequious, cowardly...
[23:01] ---
    I'm not hungry. I'll have it later.
[23:03] ---
    Later?
[23:03] ---
    and inept me...
[23:06] ---
    ...to contend with someone so accomplished,
    there's only one way.
[23:13] ---
    HARD WORK
[23:15] ---
    NEVER LET YOUR GUARD DOWN
[23:20] ---
    All I can do is devote
    more time than others.
[23:24] ---
    I'd never show the real me
    as long as I lived.
[23:28] ---
    BECOME THE KIND OF MAN
    WORTHY OF STANDING
    BY SHINOMIYA'S SIDE
[23:30] ---
    It doesn't matter anymore
    what Shinomiya thinks.
[23:33] ---
    DECEMBER 23
[23:34] ---
    I'm going to redeem myself at Christmas.
[23:37] ---
    I'll do better...
[23:39] ---
    than I did at the culture festival.
[23:41] ---
    Better!
[23:45] ---
    Better!
[23:49] ---
    And so...
[23:50] ---
    CURRENT TIME
[23:52] ---
    DECEMBER 23
[23:53] ---
    the night of Christmas Eve will come.

    DECEMBER 24
[01:32] ---
    Christmas Eve.
[01:35] ---
    The city is awash in jingle bells
    and Christmas lighting,
[01:39] ---
    and those in love
    slowly give in to the romantic night.
[01:55] ---
    However...
[01:59] ---
    PESU (DOG)
[01:59] ---
    KADOMA
    TREE
[01:59] ---
    WARM UP
    YOUR BODY
    
    WARMTH TO
     YOUR HEART
[01:59] ---
    MERRY NEW YEAR
    PEACE
[01:59] ---
    FIRST SUNRISE
[02:01] ---
    First, let me ask you.
[02:03] ---
    What's this?
[02:05] ---
    CHRISTMAS PINE
[02:05] ---
    A Christmas pine!
[02:07] ---
    And this?
[02:09] ---
    A lion dance reindeer.
[02:10] ---
    Who are you?
[02:14] ---
    I'm Demon Santa!
[02:14] ---
    ANY NICE GIRLS AROUND?
[02:16] ---
    Why does your family mash up
    Christmas and New Year's?
[02:21] ---
    I totally hear you, President.
[02:23] ---
    We felt the same way at first.
[02:26] ---
    A few years ago, we left the tree out
    long after Christmas ended,
[02:30] ---
    and my sister turned it
    into a New Year's pine!
[02:33] ---
    FIRST
    LIGHTS
[02:34] ---
    We went on using it every year
    so as not to be wasteful...
[02:36] ---
    KADOMA
    TREE
[02:39] ---
    until we came to believe that this was
    precisely what Christmas should look like.
[02:44] ---
    Don't spread your own self-serving culture!
[02:46] ---
    Oh, crap!
[02:47] ---
    I was planning to make this
    a glamorous night
[02:49] ---
    and clear the air with Shinomiya
    about where we stand!
[02:54] ---
    I'm repulsing the wishful thinkers!
    This house is clean!
[02:55] ---
    What is this eccentric pagan festival?
[02:58] ---
    Asking Fujiwara to take care
    of the preparations was a mistake.
[03:01] ---
    Oh, let it go, Miyuki.
[03:03] ---
    I mean, ringing in the New Year
    and chilling with everyone...
[03:07] ---
    is not half bad.
[03:08] ---
    What did I tell you?
    Now even you're in New Year's mode, Kei!
[03:11] ---
    Sleepy...
[03:12] ---
    I'm quite thrilled
    to spend New Year's with you all.
[03:16] ---
    Well, if you're okay with it, Shinomiya.
[03:19] ---
    I brought everyone some soft drinks!
[03:22] ---
    All right, everybody!
[03:26] ---
    Merry Christmas!
[03:30] ---
    Now then, you guys...
[03:31] ---
    NON-ALCOHOLIC
[03:32] ---
    Cheers!
[03:33] ---
    Cheers!
[03:39] ---
    Cheers!
[03:41] ---
    NON-ALCOHOLIC
[03:47] ---
    NON-ALCOHOLIC
[04:00] ---
    NON-ALCOHOLIC
[04:02] ---
    HOLY
[04:15] ---
    All righty!
[04:16] ---
    The moment you've all been waiting for!
    Gift exchange time!
[04:16] ---
    TA-DA
[04:20] ---
    We're going to draw lots
    to decide which gifts we get!
[04:23] ---
    Oh...
[04:24] ---
    KEI
    ME <3
    KAGUYA
    MOEHA
    PRESIDENT
[04:24] ---
    So, we'll be drawing chopsticks?
    Let me see those—
[04:29] ---
    If you touch these chopsticks
    with your candle-wax-covered hands,
[04:33] ---
    it'll corrupt the lots!
[04:36] ---
    Okay, I'm gonna draw one!
[04:38] ---
    Ta-da!
[04:39] ---
    Hey! That's mine!
[04:39] ---
    KEI
[04:41] ---
    My gift is...
[04:43] ---
    a picture book.
[04:43] ---
    THREE CAT DETECTIVES
[04:44] ---
    So cute!
[04:46] ---
    MOEHA, CHIKA - NOT REALLY
[04:46] ---
    Humph!
[04:46] ---
    PRESIDENT - WANT
    KEI - WANT
[04:51] ---
    A book!
[04:53] ---
    I could've run with that!
[04:54] ---
    Between Kaguya's erratic behavior
    and his own hospitalization...
[04:58] ---
    Shirogane could only manage
    some last-minute gift-shopping.
[05:00] ---
    BIG
    WINTER
    BARGAIN
[05:03] ---
    What could I give
    someone as rich as Shinomiya?
[05:03] ---
    YOSEGIZAIKU SECRET BOX
    ONIOROSHI
[05:06] ---
    After much agonizing,
    what he picked out was...
[05:10] ---
    a handkerchief.
[05:12] ---
    A present that shoots far past the comfort zone
    and couldn't be less exciting.
[05:15] ---
    This is a devastating failure
    on Shirogane's part!
[05:17] ---
    Now it's your turn, Kei!
[05:19] ---
    Come on!
[05:20] ---
    Just let everyone else's gifts
    be as boring as possible!
[05:23] ---
    Huh? Did I just draw yours, Kaguya?
[05:26] ---
    There's an aroma diffuser inside.
[05:29] ---
    I've also included some essential oils.
[05:33] ---
    I'll use them with care!
[05:35] ---
    Please share them with your brother.
[05:37] ---
    PRESIDENT (TRUE TARGET)
    KEI (MORE THAN ACCEPTABLE)
[05:38] ---
    Nice going, Shinomiya!
[05:40] ---
    You sure come up with the best gifts!
[05:42] ---
    But...
[05:43] ---
    look whose are left!
    The Fujiwara Sisters who decorated this house!
[05:46] ---
    I just know they got presents so eye-popping
    they'll blast my boring gift into oblivion!
[05:49] ---
    KA-BOOM
[05:53] ---
    I shall pick...
[05:53] ---
    ME <3
[05:56] ---
    Miss Chika...
[05:58] ---
    Fujiwara's gift, right?
[06:01] ---
    My present is...
[06:03] ---
    homemade bath bombs!
[06:06] ---
    Bath bombs?
[06:07] ---
    Yes! You put them in the bathtub,
    and they fizzle and smell great! It's fun!
[06:11] ---
    Can't you be more blunt?
[06:13] ---
    You're the type who can make people
    squirm with your retorts!
[06:14] ---
    Merry Christmas!
[06:16] ---
    GRIPE
    VASE
[06:18] ---
    My last hope is...
[06:20] ---
    Hey!
[06:21] ---
    That means you and I
    will be exchanging gifts, President!
[06:22] ---
    PRESIDENT
[06:22] ---
    MOEHA
[06:25] ---
    What a coincidence!
[06:26] ---
    - You rigged it that way, didn't you?
    - President Shirogane's present is...
[06:30] ---
    a handkerchief!
[06:32] ---
    How simple and nice!
[06:34] ---
    More like simple and... boring, huh?
[06:38] ---
    Please open mine now!
[06:42] ---
    I'm begging you!
[06:43] ---
    Let it be something weird!
[06:50] ---
    Moeha! What kind of gift
    is that to give to my brother?
[06:54] ---
    I'm sorry, President!
[06:55] ---
    I'm the only normal person in my family!
    Everyone else is an oddball!
[06:59] ---
    No.
[07:01] ---
    I'm so thrilled.
[07:03] ---
    Whaaaaat?
[07:04] ---
    Thank you, Fujiwara's little sister.
    This is exactly what I've been wanting.
[07:08] ---
    Moeha! You spiked my brother's drink
    with something, didn't you?
[07:11] ---
    If you're not sure how to use them,
    ask me anytime!
[07:15] ---
    What do you mean, "how to use them"?
    What do you mean? Whaaaaat?
[07:36] ---
    Presents...
[07:40] ---
    We didn't draw each other's, did we?
[07:43] ---
    I guess not.
[07:45] ---
    President...
[07:48] ---
    Don't let the others find out about this.
[07:53] ---
    Please open it when you get home.
[07:55] ---
    Th-Thanks.
[08:00] ---
    Don't you...
[08:02] ---
    have one for me?
[08:03] ---
    Something...
[08:05] ---
    for me...
[08:07] ---
    I do.
[08:17] ---
    No.
[08:18] ---
    Sorry, I can't!
[08:19] ---
    Because this is something random
    that I picked up!
[08:22] ---
    It's fine. I don't mind
    if it was random.
[08:24] ---
    I can't!
[08:26] ---
    No, really, I was so slammed when I chose it!
[08:29] ---
    And now I have no idea
    why I'd buy anything like this!
[08:32] ---
    This isn't for you!
    I wanna give you something more perfect—
[08:38] ---
    You really have no clue!
[08:40] ---
    I'm telling you
    it doesn't have to be perfect!
[08:49] ---
    NEW DELHI, INDIA
    I'M GOING TO ATTAIN ENLIGHTENMENT!
[08:50] ---
    MAKI'S TWIN BROTHER
    MIKADO SHIJO
[08:52] ---
    I'm telling you
    it doesn't have to be perfect!
[08:56] ---
    If this present is an aspect of yourself
    that you don't wish me to see,
[09:00] ---
    then I'm never going to let go!
[09:02] ---
    I don't know what you mean by that!
[09:07] ---
    Fujiwara, you talk some sense into her!
[09:10] ---
    Miss Fujiwara?
[09:18] ---
    I should've known!
[09:28] ---
    That present is a part of President
    that he wants to hide.
[09:32] ---
    He's always like this!
[09:34] ---
    Trying so hard, overdoing it
    to a worrying degree!
[09:37] ---
    Taking so much time and care
    to show me something perfect!
[09:43] ---
    TOMIGAYA PARK
[09:44] ---
    But I also wanna know
    the you who's not like that!
[09:47] ---
    I want to see you! To unmask you!
[09:50] ---
    Truly, you're so stubborn!
[09:53] ---
    President, you said
    you purchased that for me!
[09:56] ---
    So, it belongs to me now!
[09:59] ---
    I said I can't give it to you!
    How selfish are you anyway, Shinomiya?
[10:03] ---
    I knew it.
[10:07] ---
    The truth is, you hate me,
    and that's why you won't show it to me!
[10:11] ---
    Huh?
[10:12] ---
    You might as well say it directly!
[10:14] ---
    That you hate harsh women
    with horrible personalities like me!
[10:17] ---
    That's why you won't show it to me, right?
[10:20] ---
    I showed you my true self,
    because I wanted you to show me your true self!
[10:23] ---
    What are you talking about?
[10:25] ---
    What other reason can there be?
[10:26] ---
    Doesn't everybody want the person they love
    to see their true self?
[10:30] ---
    The person they love?
[10:31] ---
    I don't want to keep secrets
    from the person I love!
[10:34] ---
    BECOME THE KIND OF MAN
    WORTHY OF STANDING
    BY SHINOMIYA'S SIDE
[10:37] ---
    To be able to share everything,
    to understand each other completely!
[10:41] ---
    What could be lovelier than that?
[10:44] ---
    I've been trying to be more likable lately.
[10:48] ---
    But scratch the surface,
    and this is who I am.
[10:52] ---
    I was sure that if I continued to hide
    the selfish, disagreeable and aggressive me,
[10:56] ---
    I could never advance to the next level!
[11:03] ---
    I showed you my weak side!
    Because I want us to understand each other!
[11:08] ---
    That's why...
[11:10] ---
    now, I want you to show me
    your weak side!
[11:15] ---
    I get what you're trying to say.
[11:18] ---
    And I think it'd be ideal if I could do that.
[11:22] ---
    But it's the opposite for me.
[11:24] ---
    Don't you think it's because you love someone
    that you can't show them your weak side?
[11:29] ---
    Like, "What if I show my weak side,
    and it disillusions her?"
[11:32] ---
    or "What if she sees something in me
    that's unacceptable?"
[11:36] ---
    The stronger my feelings for her,
    the more I can't let her see that side of me!
[11:41] ---
    I understand your rationale!
[11:45] ---
    But as I've shown you my true self,
    please show me yours, President!
[11:48] ---
    Otherwise, I will have shown you
    for nothing!
[11:50] ---
    You're so stubborn!
[11:53] ---
    You make it sound like terms for a trade!
[11:55] ---
    But it's not even a trade
    in the first place!
[11:58] ---
    You say that you have
    a horrible personality...
[12:01] ---
    but I knew that going in,
    and I've never thought it was negative!
[12:07] ---
    At first,
[12:08] ---
    I thought you looked down on people
[12:10] ---
    and that you were keeping
    your distance from others.
[12:14] ---
    But when it hit me that you were distancing
    yourself because you didn't want to hurt anyone,
[12:21] ---
    I thought, "Hey, that's sweet!"
[12:25] ---
    From the get-go,
    I liked that side of you,
[12:28] ---
    so telling me to show my weak side because
    you showed me yours doesn't make us equal.
[12:34] ---
    But I can't look cool unless I try to.
[12:37] ---
    So I avoid doing anything
    to stir up a hornet's nest—
[12:39] ---
    Oh, how you do go on and on!
[12:41] ---
    Just show it to me!
[12:42] ---
    Hey, come on!
[12:43] ---
    I assure you, no matter what kind
    of present it is, it'll be fine!
[12:47] ---
    You may not think so, but I'm far more...
[13:06] ---
    You're good.
[13:07] ---
    Why did you give me a cup-and-ball toy?
[13:10] ---
    Somewhere along the way,
    I lost sight, myself!
[13:12] ---
    I had to pick something out in a rush!
[13:14] ---
    But it wasn't like I could just get
    something cheap and be done with it!
[13:17] ---
    After a lot of process of elimination,
    it came down to this cup-and-ball toy.
[13:23] ---
    How absurd!
[13:27] ---
    Now I can see
    why you wanted to run away!
[13:30] ---
    This isn't romantic in the least!
[13:32] ---
    Hey, you don't have to laugh so hard.
[13:34] ---
    You sure are cruel.
[13:36] ---
    However, look.
[13:39] ---
    Do I seem at all disillusioned?
[13:50] ---
    Ridiculous, isn't it?
[13:52] ---
    In a park like this,
    devoid of Christmas lights...
[13:55] ---
    It wasn't supposed to be like this.
[13:57] ---
    This is what I want.
[13:59] ---
    I don't need lights or balloons.
[14:03] ---
    Not that those balloons
    weren't lovely and romantic...
[14:08] ---
    but it doesn't have to be like that.
[14:15] ---
    Because I find ordinary things like this...
[14:18] ---
    to be romantic.
[14:22] ---
    Ordinary, huh?
[14:28] ---
    Tell me, President...
[14:30] ---
    on Christmas Eve,
    what would a couple...
[14:34] ---
    ordinarily do at a time like this?
[14:41] ---
    If you're okay with ordinary.
    Something like this, I guess.
[15:02] ---
    Hey, President...
[15:04] ---
    Look at me.
[15:06] ---
    I won't hide who I am.
[15:09] ---
    Show me who you are.
[15:11] ---
    And I'll accept it.
[15:14] ---
    Some might laugh it off as sugarcoating
    to want to show each other everything.
[15:20] ---
    There must be a wiser,
    more graceful way to handle this.
[15:25] ---
    But in my eyes...
[15:27] ---
    this is romantic.
[15:31] ---
    Not to have anything to hide...
[15:34] ---
    is the most romantic thing...
[15:37] ---
    I can offer you.
[15:41] ---
    Our second kiss was a light one,
    our lips barely brushing...
[15:46] ---
    and yet, somehow, my heart pounded
    as hard as it did during the culture festival.
[15:52] ---
    Surely every time I discover
    something new about you...
[15:56] ---
    it will feel like...
[15:57] ---
    I'm kissing you for the first time.
[16:01] ---
    THE FIRST KISS THAT NEVER ENDS
[16:17] ---
    Finally...
[16:19] ---
    you're holding my hand.
[16:21] ---
    Though it's frozen through and cold.
[16:24] ---
    I don't mind.
[16:33] ---
    Shinomiya, do you...
[16:35] ---
    Do you think that I shouldn't aim
    so high all the time?
[16:40] ---
    I must say that I don't want you
    to overdo it.
[16:42] ---
    But if I hadn't,
    we never would've ended up like this.
[16:47] ---
    It's all because I pushed myself.
[16:48] ---
    You may be right about that.
[16:52] ---
    But the same goes for me.
[16:54] ---
    If I, too, had continued
    to act coldly toward you...
[16:59] ---
    I'm certain that somewhere along the line,
    you would've deserted me.
[17:03] ---
    You and I both aimed high,
    each taking a step toward each other...
[17:08] ---
    and I believe that's why
    we're here now, holding hands.
[17:13] ---
    Then, that means we need to aim high.
[17:16] ---
    Perhaps.
[17:18] ---
    Since you're stubborn, President,
[17:20] ---
    I'm sure you're going to continue
    to run yourself into the ground.
[17:26] ---
    But...
[17:27] ---
    when you feel exhausted,
    why don't we take a little break together?
[17:32] ---
    Just a little at a time.
[17:34] ---
    From time to time,
    let's drop the bravado...
[17:36] ---
    and lean on each other...
[17:39] ---
    and be there for each other
    when one of us is about to collapse.
[17:42] ---
    Our hands may be cold,
    but holding them will warm them up.
[17:47] ---
    Surely, isn't that what it means
    to be in a relationship?
[17:52] ---
    Shinomiya, you're fine
    with having a guy like me?
[17:55] ---
    No matter what an awful person
    I might be?
[17:58] ---
    Yes.
[18:14] ---
    Kaguya?
[18:16] ---
    Where'd you run off to?
    We're gonna play a board game!
[18:19] ---
    I'm sorry. I'll be right there.
[18:24] ---
    How inopportune.
[18:27] ---
    You said it.
[18:31] ---
    We won't have a white Christmas
    in Tokyo this year again.
[18:34] ---
    That's perfectly fine.
[18:37] ---
    That's ordinary.
[18:39] ---
    Although I must say
    I was taken aback by this present.
[18:42] ---
    Yeah, but it happens to be
    a pretty swanky one!
[18:44] ---
    Yes.
[18:46] ---
    I can see that this fabric is first-class.
[18:51] ---
    I want to have an ordinary relationship.
[18:55] ---
    I want to be an ordinary girl.
[18:58] ---
    To laugh and cry whenever I want.
[19:01] ---
    That's the kind of sweet person
    I thought that I wished to be.
[19:05] ---
    I thought it would be wonderful
    to be able to be kind to others.
[19:10] ---
    I want to be sweet.
[19:12] ---
    Can I become sweet?
[19:20] ---
    I want to become someone...
[19:23] ---
    who can love herself.
[19:30] ---
    What do you think?
[19:33] ---
    You look cute.
[19:34] ---
    BOX FOR UNNECESSARY THINGS
[19:36] ---
    President said I looked cute!
[19:38] ---
    He did no such thing.
    He definitely said that to me.
[19:41] ---
    But that's my ribbon!
[19:44] ---
    SIGH...
[19:44] ---
    Who cares which one it was,
    you're all me anyway.
[19:48] ---
    This should be evaluated
    based on all past actions!
[19:50] ---
    You're trying to trick us
    by using those big words!
[19:52] ---
    Needless to say, these are all
    merely images inside her mind,
[19:53] ---
    Old trash like you can shut up!
[19:54] ---
    When you put on that ribbon,
    you became me! Therefore—
[19:57] ---
    - Objection!
    - Denied!
[19:58] ---
    and super-deformed is just that.
    Super-deformed.
[19:59] ---
    Your Honor!
[20:01] ---
    That's right. This is...
[20:04] ---
    the super-deformed version
    of a young girl's wavering heart.
[20:09] ---
    President, your winter break...
[20:11] ---
    Would you please spare a day for me?
[20:13] ---
    What? Sure.
[20:16] ---
    Let's go on a date.
[20:18] ---
    There's something that I'd like
    to say to you in actual words.
[20:21] ---
    DECEMBER 27
[20:25] ---
    Why do people confess their feelings?
[20:28] ---
    FATE
    LINE
[20:28] ---
    HEAD
    LINE
[20:28] ---
    PALM READING
[20:28] ---
    LIFE
    LINE
[20:28] ---
    First of all,
[20:30] ---
    SIDE JOB (A HOLIDAY-ONLY FORTUNE TELLER)
[20:30] ---
    let me see your palms.
[20:33] ---
    Ah...
[20:34] ---
    I can see that you haven't had
    any good romances until now.
[20:36] ---
    What? You can tell
    just by seeing my hand?
[20:39] ---
    Also, you're rather purehearted, aren't you?
[20:41] ---
    And when you get stressed, you go
    on shopping sprees. That's what your palm says.
[20:46] ---
    Wow!
[20:47] ---
    This guy's the real deal!
[20:49] ---
    So...
[20:50] ---
    Yes.
[20:51] ---
    Why do people confess
    their feelings, was it?
[20:55] ---
    Yes.
[20:56] ---
    Wha...
[20:58] ---
    Why did you show up for our date
    in your regular clothes?
[21:00] ---
    Huh? Doesn't everybody go on dates
    wearing their own clothes?
[21:03] ---
    But President, you should be wearing your uniform
    no matter what the time or occasion!
[21:06] ---
    That's why I thought
    I'd coordinate with you!
[21:09] ---
    Why today of all days?
[21:11] ---
    Well, because...
[21:14] ---
    Because today is that kind of day.
[21:19] ---
    Let's go.
[21:21] ---
    All right.
[21:24] ---
    People start dating,
    then break up without a thought.
[21:27] ---
    That person just might be your soul mate.
[21:30] ---
    You might go on loving that person forever,
    even though he might not go on loving you.
[21:36] ---
    But if you love him,
    you should stay with him.
[21:38] ---
    If you start hating him,
    then all you have to do is leave, but...
[21:51] ---
    ...doesn't it get all complicated...
[21:53] ---
    if you put it into words?
[21:56] ---
    You do have a point there.
[21:59] ---
    But it is a blessing to be able to love someone
    so much that it turns your brain into mush.
[22:05] ---
    You should try it once.
[22:09] ---
    And it's only natural to want to be
    in a relationship with the one you love.
[22:16] ---
    Freaking out that you might get dumped...
[22:19] ---
    Playing little games...
[22:23] ---
    You'll come up with all kinds of plans
    and hold out for the perfect timing...
[22:29] ---
    But your heart will be pounding,
    and nothing will make sense anymore.
[22:36] ---
    When it starts looking like the day will end
    before you can say those words...
[22:45] ---
    I'm in love with you.
[22:48] ---
    Please be my boyfriend.
[22:51] ---
    You might find yourself blurting it out.
[22:54] ---
    You fall in love, confess
    and become a couple.
[22:58] ---
    Anyone would agree
    that's a wonderful thing.
[23:02] ---
    But that notion is wrong.
[23:05] ---
    Love is only blissful until it's attained.
[23:10] ---
    After your feelings reach certain heights,
    it's all downhill from there.
[23:15] ---
    That is what true love really is.
[23:19] ---
    Beyond love, there are no victors or losers.
[23:22] ---
    There's no telling if that person
    is your soul mate or not.
[23:25] ---
    There might not even be eternal love.
[23:28] ---
    Fine.
[23:31] ---
    But...
[23:32] ---
    true love just might exist.
[23:35] ---
    One just needs to have a sharp mind.
[23:37] ---
    To seek true love, you must think.
[23:41] ---
    This is no easy task.
[23:43] ---
    Even so, it is only those
    who continue to use their minds...
[23:48] ---
    who can be the first in the world
    to attain true love.
