Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [01:34] ---     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. [08:01] ---     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...
