[00:00] Kurahashi
    I'm disappointed in you, Little Devil.
[00:03] Kurahashi
    Even with all those
    illegal abilities I gave you,
[00:06] Kurahashi
    you still couldn't take care
    of one pathetic cheater.
[00:09] Kurahashi
    Your position, experience, and talent
     are nothing compared to him.
[00:14] Kurahashi
    And now, you're holding me back.
[00:16] Kurahashi
    You're going to pay me back
    the value of everything I gave you.
[00:21] Kurahashi
    Won't you?
[00:23] Kurahashi
    Starting today, you're my slave.
     I'll make you do all of my dirty work.
[00:30] Kurahashi
    What's your response to that, you brat?!
[00:33] Noa
    I'm going to be your slave...
[00:38] Noa
    Not. Did you think I'd say that?
[00:42] Noa
    Oh, so scary! Just like a real devil.
[00:45] Kurahashi
    Shinohara Hiroto!
[00:48] Kurahashi
    What are you doing here?
[00:52] Hiroto
    Oh, it isn't just me here.
[01:03] Hiroto
    Come on, smile a little, Kurahashi.

     people are watching you right now.

    Final Day (Friday)
[01:30] Ichinose
    Good morning, kiddos.
[01:33] Ichinose
    You know, something
    wonderful happened yesterday.
SIGN    Silence
    and Change
[01:37] Ichinose
    A disgusting dictator finally got
     exposed for the scumbag he is.
[01:41] Ichinose
    Despite his innocent look,
    he was a manipulative con man,
[01:45] Ichinose
    but he was taken down in one night.
[01:47] Ichinose
    I'm super tired after celebrating
    late into the night with some drinks,
[01:51] Ichinose
    but I hope you can overlook that
    as a benefit of being an adult.
[01:54] Ichinose
    Now, then. The All-Campus Elimination
    Battle has reached its final stage.
[01:58] Ichinose
    The remaining survivors are these two.
[02:01] Ichinose
    The first is the strongest on
    Academy Island, Shinohara Hiroto.
[02:05] Ichinose
    Well, if a Seven Star didn't last
    this long, he'd be an eternal disgrace.
[02:10] Hiroto
    That's kind of a malicious way to put it.
[02:13] Ichinose
    Next is the Little Devil:
     the Six Star, Akizuki Noa.
[02:20] Ichinose
    They're both confirmed for
     the district elimination team,
[02:22] Ichinose
    but it's time to decide
    who Eimei's ace will be
[02:25] Ichinose
    with a top-level battle.
    The Six Star versus the Seven Star.
[02:28] Ichinose
    Brace yourselves for a—
[02:29] Noa
    Um, Headmistress?
[02:31] Noa
    May I say something? I, um...
[02:35] Noa
    I have no intention of fighting Hiroto-kun.
[02:40] Ichinose
    Would you mind explaining why not?
[02:42] Noa
    I think most people already
    heard this on the stream,
[02:45] Noa
    but nobody ever paid any attention
    to me, so I wanted to be special.
[02:50] Noa
    I used illegal methods to try
     to steal Stars from Hiroto.
[02:54] Noa
    I'm really very sorry!
[02:56] Noa
    Well, it didn't work out that way,
[02:59] Noa
    but while everyone devoted
    themselves to the event,
[03:01] Noa
    I alone was plotting evil schemes.
[03:03] Noa
    So I wish to withdraw from
    the All-Campus Elimination—
[03:06] Hiroto
    Stop right there, Akizuki.
[03:07] Noa
    Wh-What's wrong, Hiroto-kun?
[03:10] Hiroto
    There's absolutely no reason
    for you to withdraw.
[03:12] Noa
    Huh?
[03:13] Hiroto
    It was all that jerk Kurahashi's fault.
[03:16] Hiroto
    And I didn't lose anything in the end.
[03:18] Noa
    B-But nobody's going to forgive me!
[03:21] Hiroto
    Is that what you think?
    Then, take a look at this.

    What is this?
[03:28] Hiroto
    It's a survey of Eimei students
     Libra carried out right after the stream.
[03:33] Hiroto
    And you can see the results.
    A good 99.5% are on your side.
[03:39] Hiroto
    Basically, the consensus at
    Eimei is that it wasn't your fault.
[03:43] Noa
    Huh?
[03:43] Hiroto
    Jeez. And you think people
    don't pay attention to you?
[03:47] Hiroto
    Even our Empress was singing your praises.
[03:50] Noa
    N-No way...
[03:52] Hiroto
    Listen, Akizuki. You just
    got a little carried away.
[03:56] Hiroto
    In reality, you'd already become
    someone special by your efforts alone.
[04:01] Hiroto
    And so, I want to make a suggestion.
[04:05] Hiroto
    The winner of the Elimination Battle
    and Eimei's ace is you, Akizuki.
[04:10] Noa
    Huh?
[04:11] Hiroto
    I'm saying I'm the one who's gonna withdraw.
[04:14] Noa
    Huh? B-But why?
[04:16] Hiroto
    Look, I'm already the strongest
    on Academy Island, right?
[04:20] Noa
    B-But still...
[04:22] Hiroto
    Anyway, it's too late now.
    I just sent the formal withdrawal request.
[04:26] Hiroto
    Too bad for you guys who were
    betting on me to take first place.
[04:30] student
    What? Can he do that?
[04:30] student
    The Little Devil got first?
[04:32] student
    The Seven Star forfeited?
[04:33] Hiroto
    See?
[04:34] Hiroto
    Now you truly are someone special.
[04:38] Noa
    All right. In that case, I'll be Eimei's ace.
[04:43] Noa
    I'll become the perfect ace. One that
    can face you head-on and not lose.
[04:48] Noa
    And I want you all to
    support me all the way!
[04:54] Ichinose
    That Shinohara...
[04:57] Ichinose
    I have a feeling he's gonna make
    this year's Inter-Academy Battle fun.
[05:01] Ichinose
    All righty, then.

[05:41] Hiroto
    So I guess it turned out okay.
[05:43] Sarasa
    No kidding. I'm glad the
    Little Devil didn't get kicked out.
[05:47] Sarasa
    But, as an Ouka student,
    I can't be seen to be too happy about it.
[05:52] Hiroto
    Still, she wasn't let off
    without any penalties.
[05:55] Hiroto
    As a reward for winning,
    I got her to give me the Green Star.
[05:59] Sarasa
    So, right now, you're actually
    a triple-colored Three Star?
[06:04] Hiroto
    Yup, exactly.
[06:06] Hiroto
    I'm still a ways away
    from being a real Seven Star,

    but if I can keep raising my rank
    like this, I'll see her someday.

[06:26] Sarasa
    This shop sells some great stuff. You used
    a card from here against the Little Devil.
[06:31] Hiroto
    Oh, I see. So this is where
    you got that Pinch Hitter, huh?
[06:35] Sarasa

[06:40] Hiroto
    Yeah, but this?
[06:42] Sarasa
    I-I told you, right? That I can't get in alone,
     and I needed you to come with me.
[06:46] Sarasa
    Honestly, you should be honored.
[06:48] Sarasa
    Even if it's temporary,
     you get to be my l-lover for a bit.
[06:55] Hiroto
    Whoa.
[06:57] Sarasa
    I did tell her I'd be coming today.
[07:01] Sarasa
    Excuse me?
[07:03] Owner
    Come on in! Wait, huh?
[07:05] Owner
    Lily-chan?
[07:07] Hiroto
    "Lily"? Oh, right. She can't use
    either of her other names.
[07:08] Owner
    Oh, yeah. You did message me.
[07:11] Owner
    Hey, Lily-chan. You know my policy, right?
[07:15] Owner
    I only sell to people I like.
[07:18] Sarasa
    Yes, of course.
[07:20] Owner
    And I decide who I like by
    whether or not they follow the rules.
[07:24] Owner
    So I guess that means
    this is your boyfriend?
[07:27] Sarasa
    Th-That's right. Shino...
[07:30] Sarasa
    His name is Hiro. I-Isn't he cool?
[07:33] Hiroto
    I'm just tagging along, so don't mind me.
[07:35] Owner
    Oh, you wish! Lily-chan hasn't
    had any luck with boys before,
[07:40] Owner
    and now she comes to show
    her boyfriend off to me?
[07:44] Owner
    I get it. Hiro-kun must be a wild stud.
     I might just die of jealousy.
[07:50] Owner
    Though, I'm not actually jealous.
    Are you two really going out?
[07:55] Hiroto & Sarasa
    Huh?
[07:56] Owner
    I mean, you should at least
    be holding hands or something.
[07:59] Sarasa
    B-But...
[08:00] Owner
    It's not like I'm telling you
    to kiss on the spot.
[08:03] Sarasa
    Ki... H-How could I do that
    with someone watching, dummy?
[08:07] Hiroto
    Hey, Lily!
[08:08] Hiroto
    Psst, Saionji.
[08:10] Sarasa
    Eep.
[08:10] Sarasa
    Wh-What now, stupid Shinohara?
    Are you gonna start teasing me, too?
[08:14] Hiroto
    No, not that. We just have to hold hands,
    right? If so, let's just get it over with.
[08:20] Sarasa
    A-Are you saying you want to
    put your hands on me?
[08:24] Hiroto
    Don't start that!
[08:26] Hiroto
    You're embarrassed
    because you're overthinking it.
[08:32] Hiroto
    Uh, Lily?
[08:35] Hiroto
    This is just a handshake.
[08:37] Sarasa
    Huh? No, it isn't!
    Um, uh, it isn't! I said it isn't!
[08:42] Owner
    Yeah, yeah, like that!
[08:45] Owner
    But I mean, the atmosphere got
    so stuffy, I had to stop watching.
[08:49] Owner
    I'll recognize you two as lovers.
[08:52] Sarasa
    R-Really?
[08:53] Hiroto
    Is that really okay?
    All we did was shake hands.
[08:57] Sarasa
    Hey, Hiro!
[09:00] Owner
    Of course. I've always liked Lily-chan, and
    you're growing on me, so it's fine. You pass.

[09:17] Sarasa
    I hope you're grateful
    that I took you to that shop.
[09:22] Shirayuki
    Welcome home, Master and Rina.
[09:25] Hiroto
    Oh, hey. We're back.
[09:27] Shirayuki
    Did you have an enjoyable date?
[09:29] Sarasa
    D-Date? I-It wasn't! I just asked
    him to come shopping with me.
[09:33] Shirayuki
    But you did go to a shop
    that only admits couples.
[09:36] Sarasa
    H-How did you know that?
[09:39] Hiroto
    Th-That's a high-spec maid for you.
[09:42] Shirayuki
    Master and Rina, you helped me greatly
     during the All-Campus Elimination Battle.
[09:47] Shirayuki
    As such, I wish to treat you
    with the utmost in service today.
[09:50] Hiroto
    Oh, uh, but you're always
    the one taking care of us.
[09:53] Sarasa
    You don't need to worry about us so much.
[09:55] Sarasa
    Though I'd really love one of
    your home-cooked meals again.
[10:00] Shirayuki
    What do you think?
[10:01] Shirayuki
    Dinner is all ready, but would you
    like to take a relaxing bath first?
[10:05] Hiroto
    Yeah, that might be an idea. We're probably
    all sweaty from how much we walked today.
[10:10] Sarasa
    I guess I'll take her up on that.
[10:13] Shirayuki
    Well, then, I would be happy to scrub
    both of your backs at the same time.
[10:18] Hiroto & Sarasa
    Th-The same time?
[10:19] Sarasa
    Whoa, hold up, hold up. The same time?
[10:22] Sarasa
    Wouldn't he see me naked?
[10:24] Shirayuki
    You will wear swimsuits, naturally.
[10:25] Shirayuki
    I know that you wear bikinis
[10:27] Shirayuki
    and show skin to countless male
    strangers on the beach during the summer,
[10:31] Shirayuki
    so I doubt it will be a problem.
[10:32] Sarasa
    I get a feeling that was meant to be a jibe.
[10:35] Shirayuki
    Plus, this mansion is equipped with a special
    extra-large bath for use by the Seven Star.
[10:40] Sarasa
    Y-Yeah, but wearing a bathing suit
    in the bath sounds even kinkier.
[10:45] Shirayuki
    In that case, would you prefer to be nude?
    I am prepared for that, if it is necessary.
[10:50] Sarasa
    Th-That's not what I meant! Jeez.
[10:53] Hiroto
    Wait a minute. Are you annoyed
    that we went shopping without you?
[10:56] Sarasa
    Surely not.
[10:58] Hiroto
    Himeji always gets real
    stubborn about stuff like this.
[11:01] Sarasa
    B-But I didn't bring a swimsuit.
[11:09] Sarasa
    Fine. You win, Yuki.
[11:12] Shirayuki
    Very well. Let us all take a bath together.
[11:21] Hiroto
    This is heaven.
[11:25] Sarasa
    Wait! Don't look yet!
[11:28] Hiroto
    Uh, right.
[11:29] Shirayuki
    My apologies, Master. Please wait a moment.
[11:37] Hiroto
    Wh-What's happening to me?
    All I can hear is the shower behind me,
[11:42] Hiroto
    and all I can see is the
    painting of Mt. Fuji on the wall,
[11:45] Hiroto
    but my heart's totally racing!
[11:49] Shirayuki
    Well, then. Please excuse us.
[11:51] Sarasa
    How's the temperature?
[11:52] Hiroto
    Yeah, the water's fine—
[12:03] Sarasa
    Come on, don't just sit there.
     Say something.
[12:06] Hiroto
    I-It looks good on you.
[12:08] Shirayuki
    Rina, you are flirting with Master too much.
[12:12] Shirayuki
    That is not fair.

     invited us to go with you.

    Aw, c'mon. I know that made you happy.
[12:46] Shirayuki
    Akizuki-sama, you may have exchanged IDs,
[12:49] Shirayuki
    but you are not lovers or in any
    kind of relationship akin to that.
[12:53] Noa
    Man, you're always so
    uptight, Shirayuki-chan.
[12:56] Noa
    But, y'know, it's so nice that you go

[13:01] Shirayuki
    W-Would you please let go?
[13:04] Noa
    Not a chance!
[13:06] Hiroto
    By the way, aren't you in the same class
     as the other two members, Akizuki?
[13:11] Noa
    Yup. Sure am.
[13:13] Noa
    They aren't quite at the same level
    as Eimei's super ace, yours truly,
[13:17] Noa
    but the student council prez and
    Mya-chan are a really popular pair.
[13:21] Hiroto
    Yeah, seems like it.
[13:22] Hiroto
    With their instant memorization skills
     and extremely fast reflexes,
[13:26] Hiroto
    even the guys in my class
    know about their game record.
[13:30] Hiroto
    But it sounds like those two
     really don't get along.
[13:33] Noa
    Oh. Yeah, I guess that's true.

    They were childhood friends, but now
    it's more like they're stuck with each other.

    The game field is divided
    into one million spaces,
SIGN    One Million Spaces
[15:24] Shirayuki
    with spots known as "Bases" scattered around.
SIGN    Bases
[15:27] Shirayuki
    It is possible to capture these bases.
SIGN    Captured
SIGN    Captured
SIGN    Captured
SIGN    Captured
SIGN    Captured
[15:30] Shirayuki
    Two captured bases make a line,
    three or more a polygon,
[15:33] Shirayuki
    and all the spaces within become
    part of the corresponding team's area,
[15:37] Shirayuki
    and will change to that team's color.
[15:40] Shirayuki
    Every hour, the bases release
    special usable skills called "spells."
SIGN    Spells
SIGN    Trap
SIGN    Barrier
SIGN    Conceal
SIGN    Release
SIGN    Counteract
SIGN    Swordflash
SIGN    Gunfire
SIGN    Magic Blast
[15:45] Shirayuki
    The game also uses what is known
     as a "Freeze Time" system,
[15:49] Shirayuki
    so for a period of time after you have used
     a spell, you cannot perform an action.
SIGN    Use Spell
SIGN    Freeze Time
SIGN    Activated
[15:54] Shirayuki
    The length of Freeze Time is calculated from
    the movement value attributed to each player.

[16:00] Shirayuki
    There are also five player positions
    you can take in ASTRAL,
[16:03] Shirayuki
    and no overlap is allowed within a team.
SIGN    Dominate All Areas
SIGN    Destroy All Teams
[16:05] Shirayuki
    To win, you must either dominate all areas
     or destroy all the other teams.
[16:10] Shirayuki
    But if neither of these conditions is met,
[16:13] Shirayuki
    when the time runs out, the team with
    the largest occupied area wins the game.
[16:17] Shirayuki
    Now, on to the losing conditions.
[16:19] Shirayuki
    When a player loses all of their
    life points, they are eliminated.
SIGN    Eliminated
[16:24] Shirayuki
    Players can have a
    maximum of five life points,
[16:27] Shirayuki
    and these reset at the end of each period.
[16:30] Shirayuki
    If all team members are eliminated,
    or they lose all of the spaces they hold,
SIGN    All Players' LP = Zero
SIGN    Eliminated
SIGN    All Players' LP = Zero

SIGN    Area Held

[16:34] Shirayuki
    that team loses.

[16:37] Shirayuki
    During the Inter-Academy Battle, another game
     called MTCG will be held simultaneously.
SIGN    Optional Participation
SIGN    Open Game
[16:43] Shirayuki
    The top prize is a Wild Card,
    which serves as an invitation to ASTRAL.
[16:43] ---
    Top Prize
[16:47] Shirayuki
    The player who acquires it can join their
    chosen team in the battle as a sixth member.
SIGN    You can become
SIGN    the 6th team member
SIGN    and join ASTRAL!
[16:55] Shirayuki
    So there seem to be three key points
    in the information released so far:
[16:59] Shirayuki
    areas, player positions,
    and movement values.
[17:01] Noa
    Right, right. Say, Shirayuki-chan, is there
    a way to see what the movement values are?
[17:07] Shirayuki
    If you open the special app released
    a few days ago, it is listed on your profile.
SIGN    Akizuki Noa
SIGN    Movement Value
[17:11] Shirayuki
    There are 25 levels, and the
    smaller the number, the better.
SIGN    Movement Value
[17:15] Hiroto
    Movement values are like
    a player's general rating.
[17:18] Hiroto
    They're calculated using stuff
    like game and battle records.
[17:21] Hiroto
    Of course, for me, that means...
[17:23] Nanase
    A 3! Wow, that's crazy!
SIGN    Movement Value
[17:25] Nanase
    Shino, you've got a great rating!
     Nice job, Seven Star!
[17:28] Hiroto
    Yeah, thanks.
[17:29] Hiroto
    Wait, "Shino"?
[17:31] Nanase
    Uh, it's just a plain old nickname. No good?
[17:33] Hiroto
    Well, I didn't say it was bad.
[17:36] Nanase
    We're good, then.
[17:38] Hiroto
    Of course, my movement value is a lie.
[17:40] Hiroto
    My real number isn't 3, it's 19.
[17:43] Hiroto
    Kagaya-san bugged the display for me.
[17:46] Shirayuki
    Now, I would like to
    decide on a general plan.
[17:50] Shinji
    There are two main keys
    to strategy in ASTRAL.
SIGN    Expand Area
SIGN    Destroy Other Teams
[17:53] Shinji
    You either expand your area
    or make the other teams lose.
[17:57] Shinji
    However, spells are required to fight,
SIGN    Battle
SIGN    Spell Required
[17:59] Shinji
    and in order to get spells,
    you have to expand your area.
SIGN    Battle
SIGN    Spell Required
SIGN    Must Expand Area
[18:02] Shinji
    In other words, there's no reason
    to treat these as separate things.
[18:06] Hiroto
    So, for now, we need to decide the
    team makeup and who takes what position.

    Can swap positions with another member once
    Special spell: None
SIGN    Spy

SIGN    Guardian
SIGN    Normal damage -1
    Special spell: None
[18:12] Shirayuki
    Here are the details.
[18:15] Hiroto
    For me, getting the right position is really
    important and the first big hurdle to clear.
SIGN    Commander
SIGN    Movement value fixed at 25
    Can swap positions with another member once
    Special spell: None
SIGN    .
SIGN    .
SIGN    .
[18:21] Hiroto
    Basically, if I don't get
    commander, it's all over.
[18:24] Hiroto
    Of course, the huge movement
    value is a big minus.
[18:27] Hiroto
    But it's a trade-off for
    a much more important benefit,
[18:31] Hiroto
    regardless of whether
    I'm a Three Star or Seven.
SIGN    Commander
[18:34] Hiroto
    I can use the commander's poor
    movement value as an excuse.
SIGN    Soldier
SIGN    Mage
SIGN    Spy
[18:37] Hiroto
    Any of the others would
    be a huge problem for me.
SIGN    Guardian
SIGN    Guardian
[18:40] Hiroto
    Everyone would
    immediately know I was lying.
[18:44] Hiroto
    If I get commander, I can say I'm using its info
    abilities when it's really all the Company.
SIGN    Shinohara Hiroto
SIGN    Movement Value
SIGN    Akizuki Noa
SIGN    Movement Value
SIGN    Himeji Shirayuki
SIGN    Movement Value
SIGN    Asamiya Nanase
SIGN    Movement Value
SIGN    Enomoto Shinji
SIGN    Movement Value
[18:49] Hiroto
    That'd be a huge advantage.
[18:52] Nanase
    Um, I think I'd be good as soldier.
[18:56] Nanase
    I've got great reflexes and visual acuity,
SIGN    Asamiya Nanase
SIGN    Movement Value
SIGN    Soldier
SIGN    In battle, movement value -1
    Special spell: Swordflash
SIGN    .
SIGN    .
[18:59] Nanase
    so I can lead the attack
    to wipe out enemies.
[19:02] Noa
    I guess I'll be the spy, then.
SIGN    Akizuki Noa
SIGN    Movement Value
[19:05] Noa
    Sneaking around and secretly
    setting traps is my specialty.
SIGN    Spy
SIGN    Can sense nearby traps

[19:09] Hiroto
    All right. It's all going as planned so far.
SIGN    Shinohara Hiroto
SIGN    Movement Value
SIGN    Himeji Shirayuki
SIGN    Movement Value
[19:13] Hiroto
    Himeji should take guardian
    after I nab commander.
SIGN    Commander
SIGN    Guardian
[19:17] Hiroto
    All right, then I'll be—
[19:18] Shinji
    Commander.
[19:19] Hiroto & Shirayuki
    Huh?
[19:20] Shinji
    I wish to be the commander.
[19:22] Shinji
    Did you perhaps want
    the same thing, Shinohara?
[19:26] Hiroto
    I do. But why do you?
[19:29] Shinji
    It should be obvious.
[19:30] Shinji
    Without a competent commander,
    victory in ASTRAL would be impossible.
[19:34] Hiroto
    If that's your reason,
    it'd be the same with me in the role.
[19:37] Shinji
    No, it absolutely wouldn't. The commander's
     movement value is fixed at 25.
SIGN    Enomoto Shinji
SIGN    Movement Value
[19:42] Shinji
    You have a lower number, so you would
    be more disadvantaged than myself.
[19:47] Shinji
    Also, the commander's duties, like gathering
    information, analyzing enemy movements,
[19:51] Shinji
    mapping, and giving instructions...
    These are all specialties of mine.
[19:55] Shinji
    Do you get that, transfer student?
    Also, watch your tone.
[19:58] Nanase
    What are you so uptight about, Shinji?
[20:00] Nanase
    Shino can use insane Unique Star
    abilities, and he's a Seven Star.
[20:05] Nanase
    And I don't wanna, like,
    have to follow your orders.
[20:08] Shinji
    This isn't in the same
    dimension as what you "want."
[20:11] Shinji
    It's simply about what's appropriate.
[20:13] Hiroto
    I'm gonna have to deceive
    my enemies and allies.
[20:17] Hiroto
    I have to make them believe
    I'm the strongest on Academy Island.
[20:21] Hiroto
    If I don't, this team won't work smoothly
    and my lies will be exposed.
[20:27] Hiroto
    Hey, Enomoto.
[20:28] Shinji
    You left out the crucial "senpai."
    What is it, Shinohara?
[20:32] Hiroto
    Commander can trade places
    with someone once in the game.
[20:35] Hiroto
    So let me take it at first.
[20:38] Hiroto
    And if I don't meet with your approval,
    I'll find the right moment to give it to you.
[20:44] Shinji
    In that case, I'd say
    I should take it first, but...
[20:48] Shinji
    Okay, on one condition. Take out three
    other commanders by the end of the third day.
[20:54] Shinji
    If you don't manage it,
    you will give me the commander role.
[20:57] Shirayuki
    Please wait, Enomoto-sama. Do you not
    think that condition is somewhat unfair?
[21:02] Shirayuki
    What if you choose to refuse
    to cooperate with him?
[21:06] Shinji
    Himeji Shirayuki-kun, is it?
[21:08] Shinji
    Your attitude is excellent,
    but I think you are overlooking something.
[21:12] Shirayuki
    Overlooking?
[21:14] Shinji
    That's right. As Eimei Academy's student
    council president, I simply want to win.
[21:20] Shinji
    In the yearly academy rankings,
    Eimei has been stuck at #5 for several years.
[21:25] Shinji
    I want to raise that rank.
[21:28] Shinji
    With Seven Star Shinohara here,
    we have a good chance of doing that this year.
[21:32] Shinji
    As such, I would do
    absolutely nothing to hinder him.
[21:35] Hiroto
    Okay. Good enough for me.
[21:37] Hiroto
    If I can't pull it off, I'll give
    the commander's role to you,
[21:42] Hiroto
    and I'll even talk to you
    politely for the rest of my life.
[21:48] Hiroto
    Hello?
[21:49] Sarasa
    Shinohara?
[21:50] Sarasa
    Oh, good. If you hadn't answered,
    I don't know what I would've done.
[21:52] Hiroto
    What's happened? Why are you so upset?
[21:54] Sarasa
    Because we're in serious trouble!
[21:57] Hiroto
    Trouble? What do you mean?
[21:59] Sarasa
    It's Sarasa! Another one
    who isn't me or the real thing.
[22:03] Sarasa
    A third Saionji Sarasa has appeared!
[22:07] Hiroto
    Huh?
