    STUDENT COUNCIL ROOM
[00:00] ---
    All right, we'll be going now!
[00:03] ---
    Where do you want to go next?
[00:04] ---
    Oh, wait, let me think.
[00:10] ---
    Laser Death Beam!
[01:46] ---
    So, what is this Laser Death Beam?
[01:49] ---
    A beam that breaks up couples who get hit with it.
[01:52] ---
    So it doesn't involve death. That's a relief.
[01:56] ---
    You mustn't envy other people's happiness.
[02:01] ---
    SULK SULK
[02:01] ---
    High school students should be
    focusing on their studies!
[02:04] ---
    We can't afford to be consumed by romance!
[02:07] ---
    Said while playing a videogame.
[02:10] ---
    All right, then, tell me.
[02:11] ---
    You're not looking
    for a girlfriend, Ishigami?
[02:14] ---
    Of course not.
    Who needs one anyway?
[02:17] ---
    Oh. So you're a prude.
[02:20] ---
    Hello!
[02:23] ---
    I came to bring you our exhibit application
    for the culture festival!
[02:26] ---
    Ts-Ts-Ts...
[02:28] ---
    Tsubame?
[02:30] ---
    Oh, hi there, Yu!
[02:32] ---
    Wh-Wh-What are you doing here?
[02:33] ---
    I told you. I came
    to turn in our application.
[02:37] ---
    We want to put on a show that blends
    rhythm gymnastics and theater.
[02:41] ---
    Everyone's working so hard, so it'd be great
    to get a prime time slot! Just kidding!
[02:46] ---
    So I'd better butter you up!
[02:50] ---
    Okay, see you later, Yu and Kaguya!
[02:56] ---
    Aha. So that's the story.
[02:58] ---
    What story would that be?
[03:00] ---
    You're in love with her, aren't you?
[03:02] ---
    You couldn't be more mistaken.
[03:05] ---
    I was just taken aback
    because she showed up all of a sudden.
[03:07] ---
    Is that right? I apologize
    for being so off the mark.
[03:11] ---
    After all...
[03:12] ---
    being that I heard there's no shortage
    of boys smitten with her...
[03:17] ---
    I just assumed you were one of them.
[03:21] ---
    Yeah?
[03:22] ---
    The thought that you'd fallen in love
    so recklessly with such an unattainable girl
[03:26] ---
    made my blood run cold.
[03:30] ---
    But a girl that popular must be seeing someone
    with good looks and a good personality.
[03:40] ---
    Laser Death Beam! Laser Death Beam!
[03:43] ---
    Laser Death Beam! Laser Death Beam!
[03:44] ---
    What are you doing?
[03:45] ---
    Stop that! You can shoot yourself with that
    Laser Death Beam all day, and you still can't die!
[03:46] ---
    Dammit! Please let me die!
[03:50] ---
    See? I was right all along.
[03:52] ---
    You wouldn't have reacted that way
    if you weren't in love with her.
[03:56] ---
    What is it about Tsubame that you like?
[03:59] ---
    Well, when I was on the Cheerleading Squad,
    she looked out for me.
[04:03] ---
    At first, I thought she was going out of her way
    just to lighten things up on the squad.
[04:08] ---
    FŪRINKAZAN
[04:09] ---
    But that's just who she is, I guess.
[04:12] ---
    Once I realized that she was
    just kindhearted by nature...
[04:15] ---
    You know...
[04:16] ---
    Oh my.
[04:18] ---
    So you are a sweet boy, Ishigami.
[04:19] ---
    But... she's way beyond my reach.
[04:22] ---
    A guy like me with no redeeming traits
    could never be taken seriously.
[04:26] ---
    It's fine. Since I know
    it's hopeless anyway.
[04:29] ---
    Ishigami's lack of spirit.
[04:32] ---
    Caused by the fact that he has had
    so little success in his life.

[04:36] ---
    His life was a series of failures.
[04:39] ---
    "I'm only going to fail again."
[04:42] ---
    A thought that was constantly hanging
    in a corner of his mind.

[04:49] ---
    Ishigami...
[04:50] ---
    I don't care how you go about it.
[04:53] ---
    Make Tsubame Koyasu yours.
[04:56] ---
    Oh no! There's no way
    I can accomplish that!
[04:58] ---
    Right now, Ishigami, you're a coward so scared
    of getting hurt that you refuse to even try.
[05:04] ---
    I can relate to that.
[05:06] ---
    But you must confess your feelings.
[05:08] ---
    Or else you're in for an endless slog.
[05:10] ---
    Kaguya has just uttered
    her most sincere words of the year.

[05:15] ---
    Be brave.
[05:16] ---
    Brave...
[05:18] ---
    Well, I actually do have an idea
    for the most surefire way to confess.
[05:23] ---
    The most surefire way to confess?
[05:27] ---
    Perhaps I'll have you enlighten me!
[05:29] ---
    First off, I know that to succeed,
    I can't just confess the usual way.
[05:33] ---
    However...
[05:34] ---
    what if I go with an Ultra Romantic confession?
[05:37] ---
    U-U-U-Ultra Romantic?
[05:39] ---
    Ultra Romantic!
[05:42] ---
    I would leave a flower
    on Tsubame's desk every day.
[05:46] ---
    Agapanthus on Monday.
[05:48] ---
    Strawberry on Tuesday.
[05:50] ---
    Peony on Wednesday.
[05:52] ---
    Easter Lily on Thursday.
[05:54] ---
    Lupine on Friday.
[05:56] ---
    AGAPANTHUS
    STRAWBERRY
    PEONY
    EASTER LILY
    LUPINE
[05:57] ---
    And when you put
    all those initials together...
[06:01] ---
    - "I love you"?
    - Is what it spells out!
[06:03] ---
    What do you think of that?
[06:06] ---
    It's creepy.
[06:08] ---
    A stranger leaving a single flower
    on your desk every single day!
[06:12] ---
    That would be beyond creepy.
[06:14] ---
    Also, why did you add the riddle element?
    What if she fails to catch on?
[06:18] ---
    You really do come up
    with the creepiest ideas, Ishigami.
[06:21] ---
    No, that's because the normal way
    wouldn't work for me!
[06:24] ---
    That was me going
    for the "safe by a nose" play!
[06:26] ---
    You're so out.
[06:28] ---
    Th-Then, what if I dialed it down a little?
[06:32] ---
    I heard about this once.
[06:34] ---
    If you show a female
    an album of yourself...
[06:36] ---
    for some reason,
    she'll open up to you.
[06:38] ---
    I agree. That's quite plausible.
[06:41] ---
    So, maybe I'll give Tsubame
    an album of myself!
[06:45] ---
    And now you've entered
    the realm of horror.
[06:49] ---
    Oh...
[06:50] ---
    I'll leave her a message
    on the last page, and...
[06:51] ---
    I WANT TO FILL
    MY NEXT ALBUM
    WITH PHOTOS
    OF THE TWO OF US...
[06:53] ---
    Creepy.
[06:55] ---
    How's that?
[06:56] ---
    Didn't you hear me say it was creepy?
[06:58] ---
    That was me going for the "safe by a nose" play—
[07:00] ---
    More like a beanball to the head!
[07:03] ---
    At any rate, I understand now.
[07:05] ---
    Your flaw, Ishigami,
    is your innate creepiness.
[07:09] ---
    When an odd person does something odd,
    it defies common sense.
[07:14] ---
    Can you be more brutal?
[07:16] ---
    Listen. You must simply strive to become
    the kind of good man that would turn all heads.
[07:21] ---
    That's too vague.
[07:23] ---
    Kindly define what you mean by "good man."
[07:26] ---
    There's no doubt that you're not
    the kind of man who'd say that.
[07:31] ---
    There are numerous examples...
[07:33] ---
    But first of all,
    someone who gets excellent grades.
[07:35] ---
    Grades, huh?
[07:37] ---
    Not only that,
    but someone with a kind heart.
[07:40] ---
    Someone like President, you mean?
[07:43] ---
    Well, I suppose you could say that!
[07:45] ---
    Not that I brought that up
    with President in mind, of course!
[07:48] ---
    All I'm talking about
    is conventional wisdom, all right?
[07:52] ---
    You don't have to tell me that.
[07:54] ---
    Women are drawn to power.
[07:57] ---
    Arm strength.
[07:58] ---
    Financial clout.
[08:00] ---
    The power of communication.
[08:01] ---
    NUMBER 1 STUDENT
    IN HIS GRADE
[08:01] ---
    Needless to say,
    that includes intellectual clout.
[08:04] ---
    The moment you're sure
    he'd protect you and your young for life,
[08:10] ---
    that's when you wish to be together.
[08:12] ---
    N-Not that it's what I'm sensing
    myself, all right?
[08:16] ---
    All I'm talking about
    is conventional wisdom, all right?
[08:20] ---
    You don't have to tell me that.
[08:21] ---
    At any rate, you need to start
    with intellectual clout!

[08:24] ---
    For the upcoming finals,
[08:26] ---
    make sure you're ranked in the Top 50.
[08:29] ---
    Top 50?
[08:29] ---
    NUMBER 50
[08:32] ---
    Do that, and everyone will soon
    see you in a different light.
[08:35] ---
    Of course, that means
    Tsubame Koyasu, as well.
[08:43] ---
    And...
[08:44] ---
    you yourself, too.
[08:47] ---
    So, Ishigami's boot camp began.

    KAGUYA SHINOMIYA'S
    IMPOSSIBLE DEMAND:
    "A COWRIE A SWALLOW
    GAVE BIRTH TO" PART 1
[08:59] ---
    SECOND SEMESTER FINAL EXAMS
[09:00] ---
    Second semester final exams!
[09:04] ---
    Starting today, the student council
    will also go on hiatus for exams.
[09:07] ---
    Not that I have a problem with studying
    here in the student council room.
[09:09] ---
    YU ISHIGAMI WANTS
    TO PROVE HIMSELF WORTHY
[09:11] ---
    We do have more people now after all.
[09:13] ---
    President, you're always so considerate
    of us, aren't you now?
[09:19] ---
    Well, I guess I am.
[09:20] ---
    That is a lie.
[09:20] ---
    TREMBLE
    TREMBLE
[09:22] ---
    This guy is thinking of no one but himself!
[09:26] ---
    NUMBER 1
[09:26] ---
    Die! Die!
[09:26] ---
    In his quest to claim
    the Number 1 spot yet again,

[09:28] ---
    Shirogane has not a shred of concern
    for anyone else!

[09:31] ---
    In fact, he's itching
    to mow down the competition!

[09:34] ---
    However, lately, whenever Shirogane tries
    to study in the student council room,

[09:38] ---
    his gaze tends to turn toward Kaguya.
[09:40] ---
    Exactly what's happening right this minute.
[09:42] ---
    Every move that Shinomiya makes is gorgeous.
[09:46] ---
    In order to focus, he has no other choice
    but to study at home!

[09:48] ---
    Well, what President says
    is certainly true.
[09:51] ---
    Is something wrong, President?
[09:53] ---
    Huh? Nothing!
[09:55] ---
    W-Well, we are second-years now after all.
[09:58] ---
    That's right.
[09:59] ---
    For us, these are crucial exams that'll indicate
    the paths we should take after high school.
[10:03] ---
    And it will be easier to focus
    if we study quietly at home.
[10:07] ---
    That is a lie. This girl...
[10:10] ---
    RUMBLE
    RUMBLE
[10:10] ---
    cannot focus for a second at home!
[10:13] ---
    The smartphone she recently acquired...
[10:16] ---
    is always nearby
    even when she's studying.

[10:19] ---
    Meaning that, of course...
[10:21] ---
    it distracts her.
[10:24] ---
    Whenever a message arrives, her brain
    switches from study mode to reply mode!

[10:25] ---
    I got a text!
[10:26] ---
    Now how should I respond?
[10:31] ---
    I don't really think
    we need to go on hiatus for exams.
[10:36] ---
    But if that's what you all want,
    I'll have to comply.
[10:39] ---
    That is a lie!
[10:40] ---
    This girl is thinking...
[10:42] ---
    Score!
[10:43] ---
    ...from the bottom of her heart.
[10:44] ---
    NUMBER 1
[10:45] ---
    Like Shirogane, she, too, is dealing with
    the pressure of being Number 1 in her grade.

[10:46] ---
    No! No! Stay away!
[10:50] ---
    For Iino, the title of "Top Student in Her Grade"
    is the basis of her self-affirmation!

[10:55] ---
    Therefore, under no circumstances
    can she relinquish that status.

[10:57] ---
    1 MINUTE
[10:57] ---
    To gain even one extra minute of studying time
    would be a windfall for Iino!

[11:01] ---
    WINDFALL
[11:01] ---
    Ecstasy!
[11:02] ---
    Oh. this time,
    I'm going to have to hit the books.
[11:07] ---
    If my grades drop any further, my dad says
    he won't give me any more allowance!
[11:12] ---
    If that happens, my life will be over!
[11:14] ---
    LIE
[11:15] ---
    That is a lie.
[11:16] ---
    This girl...
[11:17] ---
    ALLOWANCE
[11:17] ---
    secretly receives allowance
    from her grandfather, as well!

[11:21] ---
    Now don't tell your mom,
    no matter what!

[11:23] ---
    Of course I won't!
[11:24] ---
    And so, as various motives
    swirl just before the exams...

[11:30] ---
    Come to think of it,
    where's Ishigami today?
[11:32] ---
    I don't know.
[11:33] ---
    Studying at home, I suppose.
[11:35] ---
    Yeah, as if!
[11:37] ---
    I bet he's playing videogames.
[11:40] ---
    And then, the day of the exams arrives.

    MATH II
[11:48] ---
    As a member of the student council,
    just make sure you don't get an F, okay?
[11:53] ---
    No need to worry.
[11:55] ---
    Since I studied hard for this.
[11:57] ---
    You're so full of it.
[12:01] ---
    He's serious.
[12:02] ---
    This boy is dead serious
    about cracking the upper ranks.

[12:06] ---
    Until now, Ishigami has always taken
    his Fs in stride.

[12:06] ---
    197th OUT OF 199
    (FIRST-YEAR)
[12:08] ---
    ISHIGAMI DURING
    THE FIRST SEMESTER
[12:10] ---
    He surely would've slacked off
    as much as possible, exams or no exams.

[12:13] ---
    SHUT UP YOU DUMBASS!!!

    Having Kaguya Shinomiya
    crack the whip so heartlessly?

[12:27] ---

[12:27] ---

[12:30] ---
    Or was it perhaps his romantic feelings
    for Tsubame Koyasu?

[12:34] ---
    No.
[12:35] ---
    I know you can do it, Ishigami.
[12:38] ---
    It was her eyes that propelled him!

    There's someone
    who actually has high hopes for me.

[12:48] ---
    In that case...
[12:50] ---
    I want to...
[12:52] ---
    live up to those hopes, no matter what!

    SECOND SEMESTER FINAL EXAMS
    LIST OF THE TOP 50 STUDENTS
[13:01] ---
    I don't see your name on that list.
[13:03] ---
    Most likely, you came in
    at Number 150 or so.
[13:07] ---
    Considering that you've shot up about 20 spots
    from your midterm ranking, it's a fine achievement.
[13:12] ---
    Yes.
[13:13] ---
    Are you bitter?
[13:15] ---
    No.
[13:16] ---
    Because that's as far as my abilities go.
[13:20] ---
    I expected no less.
[13:22] ---
    Really?
[13:24] ---
    Hey, I need to hit the restroom.
[13:33] ---
    That is a lie.
[13:34] ---
    This boy is so bitter
    that blood may as well spurt from his eyes.

[13:39] ---
    I gave it my all!
[13:41] ---
    I tried my best to crack the Top 50!
[13:43] ---
    And Shinomiya went the extra mile for me!
[13:46] ---
    So what the hell is wrong with me?
[13:48] ---
    Were you serious about that?
[13:50] ---
    Shinomiya!
[13:53] ---
    This is the men's room!
[13:54] ---
    It doesn't matter.
[13:57] ---
    Let me ask you again.
[14:00] ---
    You really aren't bitter about this result?
[14:02] ---
    How could I not be bitter?
[14:05] ---
    Underachiever or not, I thought I could be that
    cool guy who scores high if he puts his mind to it!
[14:11] ---
    But as it turned out, I'm not that guy!
[14:17] ---
    I can see what I need to work on,
    so now I just have to apply myself.
[14:22] ---
    Next time, I'm going to make it
    into the Top 50.
[14:26] ---
    There, you said it.
[14:27] ---
    You can't take it back.
[14:29] ---
    All right, no more kid gloves from now on.
[14:32] ---
    Huh?
[14:33] ---
    That was with kid gloves?
[14:36] ---
    But Shinomiya...
[14:39] ---
    if you spend any more time with me and
    my studies, won't it affect your own grades?
[14:43] ---
    It's really not enough
    to change anything.
[14:47] ---
    Impressive. No wonder you came in second
    after President this time, too.
[14:52] ---
    No wonder you came in second...
[14:56] ---
    That's because I was busy helping you study!
[14:58] ---
    Huh?
[14:59] ---
    If only I hadn't spent all that time on you,
    I could've come in first!
[15:03] ---
    That is a lie.
[15:05] ---
    So, the exam period fraught
    with lies and bitterness ends,

[15:08] ---
    and all the hard work
    for the next round begins.

[15:12] ---
    Today's battle result...
[15:13] ---
    Shirogane and Iino win.
[15:15] ---
    - I did it! Yay!
    - All right!

    A dinner party at the Fujiwara residence?
[15:26] ---
    CHIKA FUJIWARA
    WANTS TO STAY OVER
[15:26] ---
    Yes. My dad said I should invite
    you, Kei and President,
[15:31] ---
    since he's always looking out for me—
[15:34] ---
    I'll go! I wouldn't mind
    if we made it a sleepover!
[15:37] ---
    If his sister's there, then as a matter of course,
    President would stay over, as well.

[15:41] ---
    We can play games together and chat.
[15:43] ---
    And when he starts to nod off...
[15:47] ---
    Now that exams are over,
    it should be okay to relax.
[15:51] ---
    Today... How about today?
[15:53] ---
    Ah...
[15:54] ---
    Yes, yes! Why don't we do that?
[15:56] ---
    My dad's on a business trip today.
[15:59] ---
    That does make things difficult.
[16:04] ---
    I guess there's no way out of it!
[16:06] ---
    Then, let's have a sleepover
    at your house, Kaguya!
[16:09] ---
    What?
[16:11] ---
    Yay!
[16:12] ---
    It's been ages since I was last here!
[16:13] ---
    SHIROGANE
    AND THE OTHERS
    COULDN'T MAKE IT
[16:15] ---
    How did we end up like this?
[16:17] ---
    Oh! Mr. Herthaka!
[16:20] ---
    Long time no see, Miss Chika.
[16:24] ---
    Herthaka versus Designation F!
[16:27] ---
    At school, though Hayasaka hides the fact
    that she's a servant in the Shinomiya household,

[16:31] ---
    she's quite close to Fujiwara.
[16:34] ---
    Because of this, whenever Fujiwara
    is invited to the Shinomiya house,

[16:36] ---
    Hayasaka must greet her
    in full male attire!

[16:40] ---
    You're about the same age as us,
    aren't you, Mr. Herthaka?
[16:43] ---
    What do you do about school and all?
[16:46] ---
    Not a problem.
[16:46] ---
    SNAP
[16:47] ---
    As I skipped some grades
    and graduated from Harvard.
[16:50] ---
    Amazing!
[16:52] ---
    Just a second! How can you be
    so cavalier with the truth?
[16:55] ---
    I'm not being cavalier at all.
[16:57] ---
    My male persona is a genius
    who skipped grades,
[17:00] ---
    and a crybaby who works
    as a butler just for fun.
[17:04] ---
    Not to mention a war orphan—
[17:05] ---
    Enough with the complicated backstories!
[17:08] ---
    When you tell a major lie, you need to refrain
    from any other lies! That's the theory!
[17:09] ---
    Super Butler!
[17:13] ---
    If you say so, Lady Kaguya...
[17:15] ---
    Um, um...
[17:17] ---
    You two are always together, right?
[17:20] ---
    Doesn't your heart ever flutter?
[17:23] ---
    Of course there are times when it does.
[17:24] ---
    There are times when it flutters?
[17:26] ---
    Yes. It happens quite frequently.
[17:28] ---
    Hang on! What are you saying?
[17:30] ---
    My heart is always fluttering and pounding
    at your every word and action.
[17:35] ---
    Well, I do accept the blame for that, but...
[17:38] ---
    The butler and the young lady...
    A forbidden relationship!
[17:41] ---
    Miss Chika...
[17:43] ---
    As I can only have
    romantic feelings for other men...
[17:47] ---
    I do not have that kind of relationship
    with Lady Kaguya.
[17:50] ---
    Whaaaaat?
[17:51] ---
    That's your type?
[17:52] ---
    Don't make it even more complicated!
[18:00] ---
    Kaguya!
[18:02] ---
    Miss Fujiwara!
[18:03] ---
    Isn't this fun?
[18:04] ---
    Yes, it is.
[18:05] ---
    Hey, that's adorable!
[18:07] ---
    You're welcome to try it on!
[18:14] ---
    There!
[18:15] ---
    Hey!
[18:19] ---
    And you see, these days,
    there's something fishy about the guys.
[18:23] ---
    I see.
[18:25] ---
    I think they must be in love.
[18:28] ---
    Well, that's...
[18:30] ---
    rather wild.
[18:32] ---
    I wanted to get to the bottom of it
    during the Ten-Yen Coin Game,
[18:35] ---
    but it ended up
    getting buried in mystery.
[18:38] ---
    I'm thinking that Ishigami's crush
    is that third-year, Tsubame.
[18:41] ---
    But I just can't figure out
    who President's fallen for!
[18:44] ---
    Yes, sure.
[18:45] ---
    This is...
[18:47] ---
    not drinking!
[18:49] ---
    Kaguya tends to require
    many hours of sleep,

[18:52] ---
    and normally, she retires at 11 PM.
[18:55] ---
    But tonight, she's being forced
    to listen to Fujiwara's machine-gun chatter,

[18:59] ---
    and it is now after midnight!
[19:03] ---
    She can barely think straight!
[19:06] ---
    Hey, why don't we give President a call?
[19:08] ---
    Yes, why don't we do that?
[19:10] ---
    There is no one to slam the brakes
    on this strange, late-night energy!

[19:10] ---
    We might as well do it over video!
[19:17] ---
    Yay!
[19:18] ---
    What's going on? It's late, Fujiwara.
[19:21] ---
    Good evening!
[19:22] ---
    And Shinomiya?
[19:24] ---
    Good evening, President!
[19:27] ---
    I'm sleeping over at Kaguya's place right now!
[19:30] ---
    Yes, she is.
[19:31] ---
    Why are you acting like that?
[19:32] ---
    Quiet down, will you?
[19:34] ---
    Huh?
[19:35] ---
    Kaguya and Chika?
[19:37] ---
    Hey, is that you, Kei?
[19:39] ---
    Come on!
[19:40] ---
    Don't let them see this messy room!
[19:43] ---
    So, what can I do for you?
[19:45] ---
    There's something
    I want to ask you, President.

[19:47] ---
    You're in love with someone
    right now, aren't you?

[19:51] ---
    Huh?
[19:51] ---
    KING
[19:53] ---
    What are you talking about?
    Of course I'm not!
[19:55] ---
    That's a lie!
[19:57] ---
    Lately, the student council room
    has been reeking of the scent of lovesickness!
[20:00] ---
    You can't fool my sense of smell.
[20:03] ---
    It must be Ishigami or Iino—
[20:05] ---
    I think there's someone else, too.
[20:07] ---
    - Right now, my brother is in love!
    - Hey! What are you talking about, Kei?
[20:10] ---
    These days, my brother can't keep
    his eyes off his smartphone,

[20:12] ---
    and he's always sending texts
    with a smirk on his face!

[20:15] ---
    There's no way that he's not in love!
[20:17] ---
    I knew it!
[20:18] ---
    You'd better cut it out! I mean it!
[20:20] ---
    It's so distracting when you act all fidgety!
    I can't concentrate on my studies!
[20:25] ---
    Just clear it up now!
[20:27] ---
    Hey you! Give me back my phone!
[20:29] ---
    President! Just give it up already!
[20:32] ---
    I told you, there's no one like that!
[20:33] ---
    I know all about it!
[20:34] ---
    It's the person you just started
    texting on Line recently!
[20:39] ---
    Huh? Who? Who?
[20:41] ---
    That would be...
[20:42] ---
    someone named Herthaka!
[20:44] ---
    My brother is in love
    with someone named Herthaka!

[20:55] ---
    I-I-I think I'm going to use the restroom.
[21:00] ---
    President...
[21:02] ---
    Is that true?
[21:04] ---
    No! It's just to catch up on things!
[21:07] ---
    Like, what books we've read
    or how we did on our exams!
[21:10] ---
    But you never send me
    any texts like that.

[21:13] ---
    Well, that's because—
[21:14] ---
    I am extremely furious right now.
[21:19] ---
    But if you tell me
    who you're in love with, I'll forgive you.
[21:24] ---
    Wh-Wh-What? No, that would be—
[21:28] ---
    Then, if I say it, will you tell me?
[21:32] ---
    What?
[21:34] ---
    The person I'm in love with is...
[21:44] ---
    Hello?
[21:46] ---
    Hello!
[21:47] ---
    Who? Who is it? Who? Hello?
[21:50] ---
    Hello? Who?
[21:52] ---
    Hello?
[21:53] ---
    Herthaka?
[21:54] ---
    As Lady Kaguya has fallen asleep,
    I'm going to hang up now.

[21:57] ---
    I'll text you again later, Miyuki.
[21:59] ---
    Huh?
[22:00] ---
    That's Herthaka?
[22:02] ---
    She's so gorgeous!
[22:03] ---
    - You're trying for someone out of your league?
    - You have the wrong idea!
[22:06] ---
    She's just a female friend of mine!
[22:07] ---
    Whaaaaat?
[22:09] ---
    So...
[22:10] ---
    the sleepover comes to an end but not
    without causing a huge misunderstanding.

[22:13] ---
    What? President and Mr. Herthaka?
[22:16] ---
    What? Whaaaaat?
[22:18] ---
    Today's battle result...
[22:21] ---
    Kaguya wins.
[22:23] ---
    President...
