[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.
[08:01] ---
84 sheep...
[08:04] ---
85 sheep...
[08:07] ---
86 sheep...
[08:10] ---
87 sheep...
[08:14] ---
88 sheep...
[08:18] ---
Sheep...
[08:20] ---
Sheep...
[08:22] ---
One coffin...
[08:24] ---
Coffin?
[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...
