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!

Do that, and everyone will soon

Of course, that means

And...

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] ---**

*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.*

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!

**[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...
**[22:25] ---**
