[01:31] ---
    The middle school division
    of Shuchiin Academy
[01:33] ---
    is five minutes away
    from the high school division.
[01:35] ---
    Because of short distance,
[01:37] ---
    quite a few younger students visit
    their elders in the high school division.
[01:41] ---
    In fact, that day, one girl...
[01:47] ---
    Yes?
[01:51] ---
    Excuse me.
[01:52] ---
    Oh, a cute visitor.
[01:56] ---
    What am I thinking?
[01:57] ---
    It's probably rude to call someone cute
    the first time you meet.
[02:00] ---
    But for some reason, I can't take
    my eyes off of her. Why's that?
[02:04] ---
    I'm Kei Shirogane, the treasurer
    of the middle school student council.
[02:09] ---
    Kei Shirogane... Kei Shirogane...
[02:12] ---
    KEI SHIROGANE
[02:13] ---
    Shirogane...
[02:14] ---
    This girl...
[02:16] ---
    She's the president's little sister!
[02:18] ---
    I see it! She has the same scary eyes!
[02:22] ---
    Well, please come in.
[02:25] ---
    Okay, thank you.
[02:29] ---
    KAGUYA WANTS HER TO SAY IT
[02:30] ---
    If you're looking for the president,
    he's at a club budget meeting.
[02:35] ---
    I think he won't be back for a while.
[02:37] ---
    A club budget meeting?
    I heard a long time ago...
[02:41] ---
    that a student council president
    who transferred to the school
[02:41] ---
    PRESIDENT OF THE ASTRONOMY CLUB
    CAPTAIN OF THE JUDO CLUB
    PRESIDENT OF THE OCCULT RESEARCH CLUB
    CAPTAIN OF THE KENDO CLUB
    PRESIDENT OF THE VOLUNTEER CLUB
    PRESIDENT OF THE SAHA CLUB
[02:43] ---
    made an insulting remark
    during one meeting
[02:45] ---
    and found it difficult
    to live in Japan afterwards.
[02:45] ---
    RUMBLE RUMBLE
[02:50] ---
    That rumor has been embellished
    quite a bit.
[02:53] ---
    Then, it's not true?
[02:56] ---
    Of course not.
[02:57] ---
    The student's father was just relocated
    to a remote country.
[03:02] ---
    He was deliberately sent away?
[03:05] ---
    I wonder if he's gotten used
    to the thin air there.
[03:08] ---
    Will he be okay?
[03:10] ---
    His little sister is worried about him.
[03:15] ---
    It'll be fine.
[03:16] ---
    I swear by the name of Shinomiya
[03:18] ---
    that if anything happens,
    I'll protect the president.
[03:21] ---
    Shinomiya-senpai...
[03:23] ---
    It'll be all right.
[03:25] ---
    Leave it to me.
[03:27] ---
    To shoot the leader, shoot his horse first.

[03:40] ---
    Kaguya, you're like a big sister!
[03:44] ---
    Yes! Yes, that's it!
[03:46] ---
    I'll have this girl call me her big sister!
[03:46] ---
    HEH HEH
[03:49] ---
    GRIN GRIN
[03:49] ---
    So, what can I do for you today?
[03:53] ---
    Um,
[03:54] ---
    I was going to ask my brother to check
    these student council documents.
[03:59] ---
    In that case, I can give you a hand.
[04:01] ---
    Despite my looks, I'm pretty competent.
[04:04] ---
    The competent woman appeal!
[04:06] ---
    Um, here they are.
[04:06] ---
    Giving the impression of someone
    who is capable to inspire feelings of respect.
[04:09] ---
    Let's see.
[04:12] ---
    The calculations are correct,
    but you've got commas in the wrong places.
[04:16] ---
    And the layout isn't very reader-friendly.
[04:19] ---
    He was here?
[04:21] ---
    I see.
[04:22] ---
    Then, I should stretch this out
    to fill in the blank space?
[04:26] ---
    And while you're at it,
    I'd set up a macro for here and here.
[04:29] ---
    That makes sense.
[04:30] ---
    Group these. It would be clear
    where you're supposed to look,
[04:31] ---
    W-Well, it'd be difficult to get closer
    to her as a competent woman.
[04:34] ---
    so I wouldn't display any of this.
[04:35] ---
    That would only increase
    the sense of distance between us.
[04:36] ---
    I want all of this part looked at, so...
[04:38] ---
    We should be equals!
[04:40] ---
    The goal should be a relationship
    in which we hang out as friends!
[04:43] ---
    And then...
[04:44] ---
    Big Sister Kaguya!
[04:46] ---
    You should come over
    to my house for dinner!
[04:49] ---
    Oh, would that be okay?
[04:52] ---
    You two are so close.
[04:54] ---
    It's like you're real sisters.
[04:55] ---
    We are real sisters, right?
[04:58] ---
    That's because you're
    like my own daughter, Kaguya.
[05:03] ---
    Why don't you move in here?
[05:08] ---
    Wonderful!
[05:10] ---
    Kaguya was starving for familial love.
[05:12] ---
    Then...
[05:14] ---
    Say, Shirogane...
[05:17] ---
    We're all Shirogane here.
[05:19] ---
    You've got to use first names.
[05:24] ---
    Then,
[05:25] ---
    Miyuki.
[05:28] ---
    Kaguya.
[05:32] ---
    Amazing! How far could this go?
[05:35] ---
    You should probably choose your range
    and then use a table.
[05:35] ---
    That's it! The feeling of friendship!
[05:38] ---
    A strong friendship would be best!
[05:39] ---
    The formatted table form from Home...
[05:42] ---
    Miss Shirogane,
    would you like something to drink?
[05:46] ---
    Sure.
[05:46] ---
    Hello.
[05:48] ---
    Kei!
[05:50] ---
    Hello, way of the sword!
[05:53] ---
    Hello, way of the sword back!
[05:56] ---
    What's up?
    Are you just here to hang out?
[06:00] ---
    Yep, yep. I'm just here for work today.
[06:03] ---
    Huh?
[06:04] ---
    You two know each other?
[06:08] ---
    That's right!
[06:10] ---
    Kei and Moeha are the same year!
[06:14] ---
    I'm Moeha, the third daughter!
[06:16] ---
    Sometimes Kei sleeps over at our house,
[06:18] ---
    and even though we're three years apart,
[06:20] ---
    we're such good friends
    that you wouldn't know it!
[06:24] ---
    - Right?
    - Right?
[06:25] ---
    The other day, we played
    a video game together, right?
[06:27] ---
    Right!
[06:29] ---
    Remember that dance you made up?
    Wanna do it here?
[06:31] ---
    I'm too embarrassed!
[06:32] ---
    So, you've been carrying on like this
    behind my back, huh?
[06:33] ---
    Let's do it! You did it for me
    when we went to karaoke, right?
[06:36] ---
    Is that right? Understood. I get it.
[06:37] ---
    Which karaoke place was that again?
[06:39] ---
    I think I still have the video.
[06:40] ---
    But Miss Fujiwara's position is that of a friend!
    Nothing more and nothing less!
[06:41] ---
    Cut it out! Don't look for that!
[06:43] ---
    It won't take me long to pull it up!
[06:43] ---
    I'll take the status of "big sister"!
[06:45] ---
    Hey, Sis...
[06:47] ---
    Sis?
[06:48] ---
    Moeha and I are going shopping
    for clothes in Harajuku soon.
[06:51] ---
    Why don't you come with us, Sis?
[06:54] ---
    Sure, I'd love to go!
[06:54] ---
    Sis?
[06:59] ---
    I love window shopping in Harajuku!
[07:03] ---
    This is how Miss Fujiwara
    steals everything I want.
[07:08] ---
    Greed.
[07:10] ---
    Okay, as soon as summer vacation starts,
[07:10] ---
    It's people like this that ruin the planet.
[07:12] ---
    we'll do the full course,
    from morning until night!
[07:13] ---
    A cancer on Earth. How repulsive.
[07:15] ---
    Yay!
[07:17] ---
    Why don't you go with us, too,
    Miss Kaguya?
[07:19] ---
    Sure!
[07:25] ---
    Jeez.
[07:26] ---
    Miss Fujiwara is a good girl!
    This is what I love about her!
[07:29] ---
    We'll always be friends!
[07:35] ---
    How was your meeting today?
[07:37] ---
    Well, I got through it.
[07:40] ---
    By the way, Kei, I heard
    you stopped by our student council.
[07:44] ---
    How was it?
[07:45] ---
    How was what?
[07:46] ---
    Well, as your big brother,
    I'm naturally curious about what you do.
[07:51] ---
    You're as nosy as a stalker.
[07:54] ---
    But Chika was the same as always.
[07:56] ---
    Your treasurer was pretty gloomy,
    but nice to me.
[08:01] ---
    And as for the vice president, Shinomiya,
[08:04] ---
    I was so nervous around her
    that I couldn't carry on a conversation.
[08:11] ---
    - What?
    - Shut up! Drop dead!

[08:24] ---
    MIYUKI SHIROGANE CAN'T LOSE
[08:26] ---
    Have you all been studying?
[08:30] ---
    Miss Fujiwara, that's not whistling.
[08:33] ---
    - There's no need to study for exams.
    - Oh?
[08:36] ---
    They should be no problem
    if you're studying right along.
[08:40] ---
    Last-minute cramming is absurd.
[08:42] ---
    You'll just wreck your health.
[08:44] ---
    He's lying.
[08:46] ---
    I strongly advise you all
    to avoid last-minute cramming, as well.
[08:49] ---
    WHHH
[08:50] ---
    This young man has even taken
    a leave of absence from his part-time job
[08:52] ---
    so he could stay up studying
    in the ten nights before the test.
[08:56] ---
    Final exams!
[08:57] ---
    At Shuchiin Academy, literature and science
    exams are given five times a year.
[09:01] ---
    Shirogane has achieved the highest score
    three times in a row,
[09:05] ---
    solidifying his position
    as the school's academic leader.
[09:09] ---
    Shirogane began at the academy
    from high school.
[09:11] ---
    His grades are his biggest lifeline.
[09:14] ---
    To maintain his number one status,
[09:15] ---
    he wouldn't hesitate to strategize or even lie!
[09:19] ---
    Good point.
[09:21] ---
    Tests are a reflection
    of your own abilities.
[09:24] ---
    Even if you push yourself hard
    and get a decent score,
[09:26] ---
    that doesn't predict the future.
[09:28] ---
    She is lying.
[09:30] ---
    The best thing to do
    is take it in a relaxed manner.
[09:32] ---
    It's unusual for her,
[09:32] ---
    RUMBLE RUMBLE
[09:33] ---
    but this young lady is taking the finals
    extremely seriously.
[09:37] ---
    Normally, being defeated
    isn't necessarily humiliating to her.
[09:40] ---
    She knows that the occasional defeat
    is part of the secret of success in life.
[09:45] ---
    But when it comes to studying,
    that's a different story.
[09:49] ---
    Shinomiya is a genius,
    but pulling out all the stops,
[09:51] ---
    she hasn't yet beaten Shirogane
    in that field!
[09:54] ---
    Being a creature of pride, that kind
    of defeat is an unforgivable disgrace to her!
[10:00] ---
    Ishigami...
[10:01] ---
    If you don't push yourself to the limit
    this time, you'll be in trouble.
[10:05] ---
    If you fail again...
[10:06] ---
    It'll be fine.
[10:08] ---
    I'm studying hard for finals
    this time around.
[10:11] ---
    Well, I'm going home to study.
[10:13] ---
    He's lying.
[10:15] ---
    This young man only wants to continue
    playing the video game he bought recently.
[10:19] ---
    He has the nerve to buy a game
    right before exams.
[10:22] ---
    He lives fast and recklessly
    as if he's sensed his own time of death.
[10:25] ---
    And getting failing grades
    is the norm for him.
[10:28] ---
    This is the way of Yu Ishigami.
[10:32] ---
    I'm hopeless at Japanese,
    and I know slang from other languages.
[10:34] ---
    RUMBLE RUMBLE
[10:37] ---
    None of that's on the test,
    so I don't do well.
[10:39] ---
    The way you study foreign languages
    is kind of unique,
[10:43] ---
    so, maybe studying the normal way
    wouldn't be efficient for you.
[10:46] ---
    And the amount you study won't
    necessarily translate into higher scores.
[10:50] ---
    ROAR
[10:51] ---
    Not studying at all
    is indeed a viable choice.
[10:54] ---
    She's lying.
[10:56] ---
    That's right.
[10:57] ---
    Instead of studying, in the days
    before a test, I just sit cross-legged
[11:01] ---
    and focus on the subject.
[11:03] ---
    He's lying!
[11:05] ---
    I see.
[11:07] ---
    Understood!
[11:09] ---
    I won't study!
[11:10] ---
    HEH
[11:11] ---
    She's serious.
[11:13] ---
    This young woman has gotten tangled up
    in Shirogane and Kaguya's sabotage.
[11:17] ---
    As a result, her class rank
    has steadily dropped.
[11:20] ---
    AVERAGE
[11:20] ---
    Although her grades are average,
    she has a desire to learn.
[11:24] ---
    Despite her personality,
    Fujiwara is a fine student.
[11:27] ---
    She has no reason to be suspicious
    of the words of Shuchiin's top two students.
[11:33] ---
    She doesn't realize
    that they're playing dirty.
[11:37] ---
    The exam is a battle that begins
    before the pen is even picked up!
[11:40] ---
    DUN DUN
[11:41] ---
    Not only relying on brains,
[11:42] ---
    but using information, personal connections
    and assets are all reasonable choices.
[11:47] ---
    A virtual war in which these talented students
    use every bit of ingenuity they possess...
[11:51] ---
    That is what the final exams are!
[11:52] ---
    FINAL EXAMS
[11:56] ---
    197TH OUT OF 199 STUDENTS
    (FIRST-YEAR)
[11:59] ---
    EXAM DAY
[12:01] ---
    I'm nervous!
[12:03] ---
    If my grades drop again,
    so will the amount of my allowance!
[12:07] ---
    Calm down. Panicking now
    won't have any effect on your scores.
[12:11] ---
    You're not nervous, President?
[12:14] ---
    Of course not.
[12:16] ---
    I have faith in my own ability.
[12:19] ---
    I just have to regurgitate
    what I've accumulated so far.
[12:22] ---
    He's lying.
[12:24] ---
    This young man is so nervous
    that he feels like he may vomit.
[12:28] ---
    He's quivering so badly
    that he can't even hold his pen steady!
[12:31] ---
    I will absolutely not lose.
[12:33] ---
    No one but he could know...
[12:36] ---
    1ST: MIYUKI SHIROGANE
    2ND: KAGUYA SHINOMIYA
[12:36] ---
    that the pressure a king experiences
[12:38] ---
    is infinitely greater
    than that of challengers to his throne.
[12:41] ---
    Only he knows the heavy burden
    of the eternal quest for perfection.
[12:45] ---
    He knows what it's like
    to compete with a genius.
[12:48] ---
    And he knows how much
    he needs to sacrifice.
[12:51] ---
    Studying is his one and only weapon.
[12:55] ---
    If he couldn't at least get better grades
    than the girl who could do anything,
[12:59] ---
    she would then be far away,
    someone he could only look up at.
[13:04] ---
    He had to win...
[13:07] ---
    Begin!
[13:08] ---
    I just can't lose!
[13:11] ---
    ...to be her equal!
[13:13] ---
    I can't lose to Shinomiya!
[13:20] ---
    1ST: MIYUKI SHIROGANE
    2ND: KAGUYA SHINOMIYA
[13:21] ---
    Nice job, Shinomiya.
[13:24] ---
    This could just be a matter of chance.
[13:27] ---
    Next time, who knows?
[13:28] ---
    No, I'm aware of how hard
    you worked, President.
[13:32] ---
    Luck had nothing to do with it.
[13:34] ---
    I still have a ways to go.
[13:37] ---
    But I accept these results.
[13:40] ---
    She's lying.
[13:41] ---
    This young woman...
[13:42] ---
    is so frustrated that it would be no surprise
    if blood shot out of her eyes.
[13:45] ---
    If this weren't a public place,
[13:47] ---
    she would stomp her feet
    and roll around,
[13:48] ---
    STOMP STOMP
[13:50] ---
    ROLL ROLL
[13:50] ---
    but instead, she bit her lip
    to keep the scream locked up inside.
[13:55] ---
    You must be pleased, President.
[13:59] ---
    This makes four years in a row,
    doesn't it?
[14:02] ---
    No, actually, there was
    just too much pressure.
[14:07] ---
    To be honest, I only feel relief.
[14:11] ---
    I don't have it in me
    to feel pleased anymore.
[14:14] ---
    Is that what it's like?
[14:21] ---
    He's lying.
[14:24] ---
    Oh yeah!
[14:24] ---
    This young man is so pleased that he's begun
    shadowboxing for no reason.
[14:25] ---
    Did you see that, Shinomiya?
[14:29] ---
    And so, the final exams
    of lies and deception come to an end.
[14:34] ---
    Okay, okay. It's okay.

[14:47] ---
    ONE WEEK BEFORE THE TEST
[14:49] ---
    FACULTY ROOM
[14:50] ---
    Ishigami, do you understand your situation?
[14:53] ---
    If you fail any major tests, you'll be
    in danger of being held back next year.
[14:58] ---
    Yeah.
[14:59] ---
    You managed to get into high school.
[15:01] ---
    Are you willing
    to let that chance go to waste?
[15:05] ---
    Anyway, just be sure
    you don't fail the finals coming up.
[15:10] ---
    Got it?
[15:11] ---
    Yeah.
[15:13] ---
    Fail!
[15:14] ---
    At Shuchiin Academy, a grade of less
    than half the average is considered failing.
[15:17] ---
    There are no remedial measures,
    such as supplementary lessons.
[15:20] ---
    Two test failures in a subject
    results in a failing grade.
[15:23] ---
    If a required course is failed,
    the year is repeated.
[15:26] ---
    Ishigami has already received
    three yellow cards.
[15:26] ---
    No, really, I haven't even been sleeping.
[15:28] ---
    If he fails another exam,
    he'll be held back!
[15:29] ---
    This time around, I'm serious.
[15:31] ---
    Well,
[15:33] ---
    as usual, you've got me thinking
    that maybe I should buy a video game.
[15:33] ---
    Even though he's in hot water,
    it's as if he doesn't sense the danger.
[15:39] ---
    It's been a while.
[15:40] ---
    YU ISHIGAMI
    CLOSES HIS EYES
[15:40] ---
    This is unbecoming of a member
    of the student council.
[15:44] ---
    If you do get held back, you won't be
    the only one who's inconvenienced.
[15:46] ---
    ...so I can play for five hours or so.
[15:50] ---
    Ishigami...
[15:52] ---
    Could you come with me for a minute?
[15:55] ---
    What is it?
[15:56] ---
    We can't talk here?
[15:59] ---
    No. It has to be a place with no one else.
[16:02] ---
    Just you and me.
[16:05] ---
    Forget it!
[16:06] ---
    No way! I'm scared!
[16:07] ---
    No!
[16:07] ---
    What's your problem?
    Just come with me!
[16:10] ---
    Are you gonna do
    something terrible to me?
[16:13] ---
    SUPPLY ROOM
[16:21] ---
    This is because you tried to get away.
[16:24] ---
    If you hadn't resisted, I wouldn't have been
    forced to resort to such drastic measures.
[16:29] ---
    You're gonna do something terrible!
[16:34] ---
    Wh-What are you going to do?
[16:38] ---
    You know what kind of situation
    you're in, don't you?
[16:45] ---
    Therefore...
[16:47] ---
    CRITICAL SITUATION!!
    LIFE-THREATENING!!
[16:47] ---
    You're gonna torture and then kill me?
[16:51] ---
    Or, no, maybe she'll just do nasty things
    to me until my mind snaps!
[16:55] ---
    For starters...
[16:56] ---
    Just don't touch my video games!
[16:59] ---
    I'm confiscating your phone
    and blip-blopping device.
[17:04] ---
    I really did incur
    her displeasure!
[17:07] ---
    She's going to take her time
    destroying my spirit.
[17:11] ---
    Stop it!
[17:12] ---
    Please, anything but making me
    eat small fish or forcing me to study!
[17:15] ---
    Okay, next...
[17:19] ---
    please eat all of these dried sardines
[17:21] ---
    and then do all of these drills.
[17:23] ---
    Here, open wide.
[17:25] ---
    They're full of docosahexaenoic acid.
[17:29] ---
    Acid? She's gonna melt
    my internal organs?
[17:32] ---
    HOURS LATER
[17:42] ---
    What kind of torture is this?
[17:42] ---
    This is awful.
[17:45] ---
    But on all of the important points,
    I can catch glimpses of intelligence.
[17:45] ---
    What did I do to deserve this?
[17:49] ---
    It seems you have promise.
[17:53] ---
    We're going to study tomorrow
    at the same time.
[17:57] ---
    In the name of Shinomiya, I swear
    I won't let you fail the finals, Ishigami.
[18:01] ---
    Be grateful.
[18:03] ---
    What's the point
    of trying to make me smarter?
[18:06] ---
    TO PREVENT HIM
    FROM FAILING
[18:09] ---
    And so, the days
    of intensive training continued.
[18:14] ---
    Ishigami made
    several more escape attempts,
[18:16] ---
    but Kaguya caught him every time,
[18:20] ---
    and eventually
    he lost the willpower to resist her.
[18:26] ---
    LIBRARY
[18:28] ---
    This reference book should make it easier.
[18:31] ---
    Take your time
    so you understand it thoroughly.
[18:34] ---
    Really, what's your game here?
[18:38] ---
    What are you talking about?
[18:40] ---
    I heard that if you fail another big test,
[18:42] ---
    there's a good chance
    you'll have to repeat the year.
[18:44] ---
    I'm making sure
    you're studying so that doesn't happen.
[18:47] ---
    That's all?
[18:49] ---
    That's all.
[18:50] ---
    No way.
[18:51] ---
    Shinomiya-senpai, you're that caring?
[18:54] ---
    I don't usually do this kind of thing.
[18:58] ---
    If you want the truth, I'd rather
    be focusing on my own studying.
[19:01] ---
    Then why...
[19:03] ---
    That's Ishigami, isn't it?
[19:06] ---
    For real? Kaguya and Ishigami together?
[19:09] ---
    Why?
[19:10] ---
    Why do you think?
[19:12] ---
    Gross!
[19:14] ---
    That's enough.
[19:18] ---
    I don't really care if I get held back.
[19:23] ---
    Besides, I'm sure you've heard
    about how I messed up in middle school,
[19:27] ---
    which is why you heard
    everyone treats me like I'm a time bomb.
[19:31] ---
    I used to be a problem child
    who refused to go to school.
[19:34] ---
    When other people see us studying together
    and they start weird rumors,
[19:37] ---
    it'll be your name
    that gets dragged through the mud.
[19:42] ---
    True, all the noise in here
    makes it hard to study.
[19:47] ---
    You girls...
[19:49] ---
    The library is supposed to be a quiet place.
[19:52] ---
    Or is there something
    you want to say to me?
[19:58] ---
    Well, you shouldn't really
    get mixed up with Ishigami.
[20:03] ---
    We're just worried about you, Kaguya.
[20:07] ---
    Thank you for the warning.
[20:09] ---
    However,
[20:11] ---
    I don't judge someone
    based on what other people say.
[20:14] ---
    I've already judged Ishigami
    to be worthy of a relationship with me.
[20:21] ---
    Do you have doubts about my judgment?
[20:28] ---
    I appreciate you standing up for me,
    but people are gonna get the wrong idea.
[20:34] ---
    That doesn't matter.
[20:36] ---
    Right now, the most important thing
    is making sure you don't fail.
[20:40] ---
    No matter who gets the wrong idea or what
    they imagine, it's not going to sway me.
[20:43] ---
    But...
[20:44] ---
    I told you.
[20:46] ---
    In the name of Shinomiya,
    I vowed I won't let you fail the finals.
[20:51] ---
    So, I won't abandon you,
    no matter what.
[20:53] ---
    Besides, without you,
    the president would be troubled.
[21:01] ---
    So, if you understand, start writing.
[21:04] ---
    Okay.
[21:08] ---
    It looks like...
[21:10] ---
    there's nothing I can do here.
[21:13] ---
    STUDENT COUNCIL ROOM
[21:14] ---
    Days later...
[21:15] ---
    We got through finals, everyone!
[21:19] ---
    Shinomiya-senpai, I managed not to fail.
[21:23] ---
    I guess I kind of had
    the wrong idea about you.
[21:28] ---
    Ishigami...
[21:32] ---
    CRUMPLE
[21:32] ---
    What is this score?
[21:36] ---
    You just barely passed.
[21:39] ---
    After all that time
    I spent helping you study!
[21:43] ---
    I studied pretty hard.
[21:46] ---
    How dare you make me lose face like this?
[21:50] ---
    Oh no! She's terrifying after all!
[21:56] ---
    That's what Shinomiya is like.
[22:00] ---
    She doesn't lie to herself.
[22:03] ---
    If she makes a vow, count on it.
[22:06] ---
    She has a nobility about her.
    She'll keep her word, come what may.
[22:09] ---
    At first, I thought
    she was cold-hearted, too.
[22:12] ---
    But when I realized the truth...
[22:16] ---
    When you realized the truth, what?
[22:18] ---
    Nothing. Forget it.
[22:21] ---
    It's an old story.
[22:22] ---
    Results of today's match...
[22:22] ---
    RESULTS OF TODAY'S MATCH:
[22:24] ---
    SHIROGANE LOSES
[22:25] ---
    Shirogane loses.
