**[00:04] Toyoshige**
For the older one?
**[00:05] Jun**
Yeah.
**[00:06] Jun**
She's got a game on the day.
Should be a safe choice.
**[00:08] Toyoshige**
Yeah. Too safe and boring.
**[00:11] Toyoshige**
But that's so you.
**[00:13] Toyoshige**
Maybe I should get Jinguji something, too.
**[00:16] Jun**
Good idea. It'll make her happy.
**[00:18] Toyoshige**
But a formal gift is hard to choose.
**[00:22] Toyoshige**
What should I get her, as a smooth operator?
**[00:25] Jun**
That doesn't describe you
at all, so anything will do.
**[00:27] Toyoshige**
Oh? You picking a fight?
**[00:30] Toyoshige**
If I'm not a smooth operator,
**[00:32] Toyoshige**
then you're nothing but pubic hair
stuck between pages of a book.
**[00:36] Jun**
How'd you even come up with that insult?
***SIGN*** Love Is Indivisible by Twins
***SIGN*** 8. "I Thought About You So Much"
**[02:09] Rumi**
Hey.
**[02:09] Rumi**
Where would you put this, Reira?
**[02:11] Sign**
Certain Victory!
**[02:12] Reira**
I'd have to think. I wouldn't want to
stick it on my bag and have it fall off.
**[02:16] Rumi**
Right?
**[02:17] Rumi**
I'm so nervous. I hope
I'll do okay tomorrow.
**[02:21] Reira**
You're the only starter
among the first-years.
**[02:25] Reira**
Go make a splash for us, too.
**[02:28] Rumi**
Sure. But if I get taken out,
it'll be your turn.
**[02:32] Reira**
You got it. I'll clean up after you.
**[02:35] Rumi**
By the way, how are things
with your boyfriend?
**[02:38] Rumi**
You two made up, right?
**[02:39] Reira**
Yeah, but I figured nothing would change
if I kept playing sweet and innocent.
**[02:45] Reira**
So I didn't hold back. I gave him a
piece of my mind and then some.
**[02:48] Rumi**
Uh, won't that affect his play?
**[02:51] Reira**
Well, it better not.
**[02:53] Reira**
Watching him play ball was
what made me fall for him.
**[02:55] Rumi**
But that's not all now, right?
**[02:58] Rumi**
You've found other things to
like about him, haven't you?
**[03:01] Reira**
Of course.
**[03:02] Reira**
But on the other hand,
I've seen plenty to dislike, too.
**[03:05] Reira**
Dating's all about striking the right
balance between what you like and dislike,
**[03:09] Reira**
don't you think?
**[03:11] Reira**
You have to air out the
things you can't stand.
**[03:13] Reira**
But that also makes the reason you fell
for each other all the more important.
**[03:17] Rumi**
Talk about mature.
**[03:18] Reira**
Hey, we're the same age.
**[03:22] Rumi**
*Meanwhile, I'd put a lid on my feelings.*
**[03:26] Rumi**
* I couldn't stand the thought*
* of losing everything we had,*
**[03:29] Rumi**
*so I ran away from Jun and Naori.*
**[03:32] Rumi**
You really are amazing, Reira.
**[03:34] Rumi**
I didn't have it in me to
confront the issue head-on.
**[03:37] Reira**
Yeah, but constant confrontation
can also wear you out.
**[03:40] Reira**
But hey, it's not like it's
all over for you, either.
**[03:43] Reira**
Don't overthink it.
**[03:45] Rumi**
You're right. Thanks.
That kinda cheered me up.
**[03:52] Sign**
Jun: Do you have some time?
**[04:06] Jun**
You got here quick.
**[04:08] Rumi**
Did I? Anyway, what's up?
**[04:11] Jun**
Why don't you take a seat first?
**[04:13] Rumi**
Okay.
**[04:22] Rumi**
Oh, the make-ups started today, right?
**[04:25] Rumi**
I hope Shiena did okay.
**[04:27] Jun**
She said she managed.
**[04:30] Jun**
If she makes it through,
I won't have to tutor her anymore.
**[04:33] Rumi**
She's a nice girl, isn't she?
**[04:36] Jun**
Yeah.
**[04:38] Rumi**
So, you called me out here
for a reason, right?
**[04:41] Rumi**
Some uncomfortable topic?
**[04:43] Jun**
Nah, nothing of the sort.
**[04:45] Jun**
Uh... your game's tomorrow, right?
**[04:48] Rumi**
Yeah.
**[04:48] Jun**
Good luck.
**[04:50] Rumi**
Thanks. Is that it?
**[04:54] Jun**
It's a day early, but here. This is for you.
**[04:58] Rumi**
Oh, is this a birthday gift?
**[05:00] Jun**
I haven't given Naori hers
yet, so don't tell her.
**[05:04] Rumi**
Can I open it?
**[05:06] Jun**
Sure.
**[05:09] Jun**
You've been using your bottle
since middle school, right?
**[05:12] Jun**
I figured it was about time for an upgrade.
**[05:14] Rumi**
Thanks! I'll use it starting
tomorrow for sure!
**[05:20] Rumi**
Hey, can I hug you?
**[05:22] Jun**
Suit yourself.
**[05:24] Rumi**
*I can't take it.*
**[05:25] Rumi**
*I love him.*
**[05:27] Rumi**
*I love him so much.*
**[05:28] Rumi**
* I won't let anybody take these*
* moments from me. Not even Naori.*
**[05:35] Jun**
I do feel like I'm doing Naori dirty.
**[05:37] Jun**
I know I should hand them
over at the same time.
**[05:40] Jun**
But I really wanted to give
you this before your game.
**[05:44] Jun**
Because this is all I can do for you.
**[05:46] Rumi**
Don't say that. You really made me happy.
**[05:49] Jun**
I've got school tomorrow,
but I can go cheer for you on Saturday.
**[05:53] Jun**
So you'd better win.
**[05:55] Rumi**
Yeah, I'll do just that. No way I can lose.
**[05:58] Rumi**
So I want more where that came from.
**[06:01] Jun**
Huh? Uh...
**[06:03] Jun**
Don't freak out even if your
opponents seem too good.
**[06:05] Jun**
You're better, I guarantee it.
**[06:08] Rumi**
What else?
**[06:10] Jun**
"What else"?
**[06:12] Jun**
Well, I really love watching
you play basketball.
**[06:17] Jun**
I think it makes you look so cool.
**[06:19] Rumi**
Huh? Nobody's ever said that to me before.
**[06:23] Rumi**
That's how you see it, huh?
**[06:25] Rumi**
Can I ask you to do something for me?
**[06:28] Jun**
What?
**[06:30] Rumi**
I want to kiss like we used to.
**[06:33] Jun**
Wh-What are you saying?
**[06:35] Rumi**
It'll give me the strength to keep going.
**[06:45] Rumi**
I'm back.
**[06:48] Naori**
The prodigal daughter
finally makes her return.
**[06:50] Rumi**
Sorry, got held up with strategy
meetings for tomorrow and stuff.
**[06:55] Naori**
We've got *win*-gs for dinner tonight.
**[06:57] Naori**
Also, about your game tomorrow...
**[07:00] Naori**
Good luck.
**[07:02] Rumi**
Huh?
**[07:05] Rumi**
Yeah, this won't do.
**[07:09] Rumi**
I'm coming in.
**[07:11] Naori**
Not waiting for me to respond?
**[07:13] Rumi**
What're you up to?
**[07:14] Naori**
Trying to remember how old we were
when we were about this tall.
**[07:21] Naori**
So?
**[07:23] Rumi**
Uh, I was kinda with Jun earlier...
**[07:27] Naori**
What? You met up?
**[07:29] Rumi**
Yeah. He wished me luck in the game.
**[07:31] Naori**
Good for you.
**[07:32] Naori**
You don't have to report
every little thing to me.
**[07:35] Rumi**
But you wished me luck too, so I felt bad.
**[07:41] Naori**
I don't want things turning
sour on our birthday.
**[07:45] Naori**
Just forget it and go eat.
**[07:48] Rumi**
Okay, I'll do that.
**[07:51] Rumi**
Naori?
**[07:52] Naori**
Yeah?
**[07:53] Rumi**
Thanks.
**[08:05] Shiena**
Yesterday was a breeze!
**[08:08] Shiena**
I was like, "Hey, Zaki taught
me this!" for most of it.
**[08:11] Shiena**
Oh!
**[08:11] Shiena**
Nyao-Nyao!
**[08:15] Naori**
I didn't know you were here, Amamiya-san.
**[08:17] Shiena**
Stop that. Call me Ena.
**[08:20] Naori**
Uh, don't you have more make-ups today?
**[08:24] Shiena**
Yeah. I was double-checking
things with Zaki.
**[08:27] Shiena**
Wait, yikes! It's almost time.
**[08:30] Shiena**
See you, Nyao-Nyao!
**[08:32] Shiena**
And you, Zaki!
**[08:34] Naori**
What's gotten into her?
**[08:36] Jun**
Don't ask me.
**[08:38] Jun**
Looks like she found the
motivation and the effort paid off.
**[08:41] Naori**
Good for her.
**[08:44] Jun**
Shall we head home?
**[08:45] Naori**
Yeah.
**[08:49] Jun**
I wonder how the game went.
**[08:51] Naori**
Same. But I hope she won.
**[08:56] Naori**
'Cause otherwise tonight's birthday
party will be a damp squib.
**[08:59] Jun**
Right you are.
**[09:03] Jun**
Do you have time?
**[09:06] Jun**
Wanna stop by somewhere?
**[09:08] Naori**
How about we go to my room instead?
**[09:13] Naori**
Hup.
**[09:15] Naori**
Some downpour, huh?
**[09:17] Jun**
Y-Yeah.
**[09:21] Jun**
Naori, can I have your attention for a sec?
**[09:24] Naori**
What is it?
**[09:26] Jun**
Here.
**[09:27] Jun**
Happy birthday.
**[09:30] Naori**
Th-Thanks. Can I open it?
**[09:33] Jun**
Yeah.
**[09:36] Naori**
A seal?
**[09:37] Naori**
How cute!
**[09:38] Jun**
I'm glad you like it. You wanted one, right?
**[09:42] Naori**
A seal? Did I mention that?
**[09:45] Jun**
Take a look. See the zipper on its belly?
**[09:47] Naori**
You're right. What's it for?
**[09:51] Naori**
Huh? Wait, is this... kiviak?
**[09:55] Naori**
This plushie was real?
**[09:55] Sign**
Seabirds in Seal
**[09:56] Ririsu**
*Kiviak!*
**[09:59] Naori**
Hey, wait. Chief put you up to this?
**[10:02] Jun**
Yeah. I was a little afraid
it'd be unacceptable.
**[10:04] Naori**
It's okay. I'm kinda amazed it exists.
**[10:08] Naori**
So I'm happy. Thanks.
**[10:10] Jun**
Actually, I have something else.
**[10:15] Jun**
Here.
**[10:22] Jun**
You showed off the PC glasses
the other day, remember?
**[10:25] Jun**
I'm sure you have a case already, but still.
**[10:27] Naori**
This looks familiar.
**[10:29] Jun**
Yeah. It's the same one I have.
**[10:32] Naori**
So we have a matching pair?
**[10:34] Jun**
Yeah. It's nothing fancy, though.
**[10:37] Naori**
Does Rumi have one?
**[10:39] Jun**
No?
**[10:40] Naori**
So, it's just me you share a
matching pair of these with?
**[10:44] Jun**
Yeah.
**[10:46] Jun**
Naori, if you don't want it—
**[10:48] Naori**
Of course I do!
**[10:50] Naori**
Answer me honestly.
**[10:53] Naori**
You handed Rumi her gift
yesterday, didn't you?
**[10:56] Naori**
You went to her first, no?
**[11:00] Jun**
Sorry. I just wanted her to
have it before her game.
**[11:05] Jun**
It wasn't about preferring her over you.
**[11:07] Jun**
I simply wanted to show I was
rooting for her in today's game.
**[11:10] Naori**
I knew it.
**[11:13] Naori**
Why didn't you tell me?
**[11:15] Naori**
Why'd you keep it from me?
**[11:20] Naori**
I know you and Rumi have
matching shoes and stuff.
**[11:24] Naori**
You two went behind my back.
**[11:26] Naori**
But you were dating back
then, so it made sense.
**[11:30] Naori**
I hated it, but I didn't
say anything. I couldn't.
**[11:33] Naori**
But things are different now, so why
are you still going behind my back?
**[11:38] Jun**
Sorry about that.
**[11:40] Naori**
Are you really?
**[11:42] Jun**
I am.
**[11:44] Naori**
Then pay more attention to me.
**[11:47] Naori**
Use the time you were spending
with Rumi with me, too.
**[11:51] Naori**
Quit deciding to tutor other
people and stuff with her.
**[11:54] Naori**
Please, stop keeping me in the dark.
**[11:58] Jun**
Naori...
**[12:00] Naori**
Let's talk more about hobby stuff like we
used to, like we did over Golden Week.
**[12:05] Naori**
I thought about you two so much
before making my decision.
**[12:09] Naori**
How did I end up being the one left out?
**[12:11] Naori**
Why? Did I do something wrong?
**[12:16] Naori**
What was I supposed to do?
**[12:19] (Flashback) Toyoshige**
You didn't choose not to make a decision.
**[12:22] (Flashback) Toyoshige**
You just ran away from making one.
**[12:26] Jun**
I'm sorry. I really am.
**[12:31] Naori**
Payback. But know that
I'm hurting a lot more.
**[12:35] Naori**
Praise me for not leaving a
lasting mark like I wanted to.
**[12:40] Jun**
Hurting a lot more, huh?
**[12:42] Jun**
That's fair.
**[12:44] Jun**
Naori, let's hang out and chat more.
**[12:48] Naori**
You promise?
**[12:49] Jun**
Yeah.
**[12:51] Naori**
Break it, and I'm taking a pair of scissors
**[12:53] Naori**
and going full Sada Abe on you.
**[12:56] Jun**
Anything but that.
**[12:57] Naori**
I'm kidding. I wouldn't do that
before trying it out for myself.
**[13:00] Jun**
Trying it out?!
**[13:02] Naori**
I'm hoping it happens someday.
**[13:06] Naori**
Hey, Dad!
**[13:08] Naori**
Could you not play such
dark music on our birthday?
**[13:11] Jingujidad**
This is an album about
life and its many forms.
**[13:14] Jingujidad**
The perfect thing to play on a birthday.
**[13:16] Naori**
What do you say, Jun-kun?
Is this your idea of fun?
**[13:19] Jun**
Uh...
**[13:21] Rumi**
It's not mine, at least.
Way to rain on my victory parade.
**[13:26] Jingujimom**
Your father's very personality
is more on the dark side.
**[13:29] Jingujidad**
Wha?
**[13:29] Rumi**
He does bring up Dazai's
death anniversary every year.
**[13:32] Naori**
Right?
**[13:34] Naori**
Who brings that up on his
daughters' birthday?
**[13:37] Rumi**
Most people wouldn't.
**[13:41] Rumi**
Hey, do you still have those sneakers?
**[13:43] Jun**
You've been wearing them again lately, too.
**[13:47] Naori**
Hey, could you two knock it off?
**[13:50] Naori**
Going behind my back isn't cool,
but doing it in my face is even worse.
**[13:55] Jun**
Wanna go buy a matching pair for yourself?
**[13:57] Naori**
I have no need for trainers.
**[14:00] Naori**
I wouldn't mind going
along if asked, though.
**[14:03] Jun**
Pick a side.
**[14:04] Rumi**
I know.
**[14:05] Rumi**
Shall we hit up the convenience store?
**[14:07] Rumi**
It'd be a dry run for the shopping trip.
**[14:10] Naori**
Uh, what? What does that even mean?
**[14:13] Naori**
This is why I can't stand muscleheads.
**[14:15] Jun**
Sure, but do you have your wallets?
**[14:21] Jun**
What?
**[14:22] Rumi**
If you'd offered to pay...
**[14:25] Naori**
...you could've scored some points.
**[14:28] Jun**
Oh, so that's what a "smooth
operator" is supposed to say.
**[14:31] Jun**
The Professor has shown me the light today.
**[14:34] Naori**
The heck?
**[14:35] Naori**
You've got issues if you're
trying to learn from that guy.
**[14:38] Naori**
Terminal ones, at that.
**[14:40] Rumi**
Anyway, let's go.
**[14:43] Jun**
Yeah.
**[14:45] Ririsu**
Happy birthday, Sensei!
**[14:49] Naori**
Thank you! I love you, Chief!
**[14:51] Ririsu**
Are you a big girl now? How old?
**[14:53] Naori**
Today—or yesterday, actually—
I turned a year older than you.
**[14:57] Naori**
I'm your senior in life. Show me deference.
**[14:59] Ririsu**
I can't stand older people who act like
they're automatically better than you.
**[15:02] Naori**
Same here.
**[15:03] Ririsu**
Then stop saying things like that.
**[15:06] Ririsu**
This is why Shirosaki-kun says you have
the personality of a crusty old coot.
**[15:10] Naori**
He does not! You just made that up!
**[15:13] Ririsu**
Huh? Are you sure?
**[15:15] Ririsu**
Anyway, let's forget that and eat some cake.
**[15:20] Naori**
Ugh, they shine like the morning sun.
**[15:22] Naori**
I feel like Palpatine feasting his
eyes on a fleet of Star Destroyers!
**[15:27] Ririsu**
Here. I presume you want the Mont Blanc.
**[15:29] Naori**
You sure get me!
**[15:31] Ririsu**
I've known you since middle school.
**[15:34] Ririsu**
Though I really hated you back then.
**[15:38] Naori**
Right back at you.
**[15:42] (Flashback) Naori**
But how do we verify the result?
**[15:45] (Flashback) Naori**
What are we assuming *n* to be?
**[15:48] (Flashback) Girl A**
Naori-chan sure is different than us.
**[15:50] (Flashback) Girl B**
Yeah.
**[15:53] Naori**
*There's no difference between us.*
**[15:54] Naori**
* You all have just convinced*
* yourselves there is one.*
**[15:57] Naori**
* But I can't say that out loud,*
* which is why I wear my mask.*
**[16:03] (Flashback) Naori**
Sorry. Let's think of a different topic—
**[16:06] (Flashback) Girl A**
I'll go see what the other groups are doing.
**[16:09] (Flashback) Girl B**
Me, too.
**[16:12] (Flashback) Ririsu**
Your smile was forced.
**[16:15] (Flashback) Ririsu**
You need some more practice.
**[16:18] (Flashback) Naori**
Kameda-san, was it?
**[16:20] (Flashback) Naori**
Your name reminds me of
*The Castle of Sand*. What an oldie.
**[16:24] (Flashback) Ririsu**
It's Kamedake.
**[16:25] (Flashback) Ririsu**
You've got that cutesy act
going, huh, Jinguji-san?
**[16:29] (Flashback) Ririsu**
You're only fooling the boys, though.
**[16:30] (Flashback) Naori**
You don't say? Sorry I'm so cute!
**[16:33] Naori**
"What's with this girl?
I'm making sure she goes down."
**[16:37] Naori**
That was my first impression of her.
**[16:40] Ririsu**
We were both so combative back then.
**[16:43] Naori**
So childish of us.
**[16:45] Naori**
But now I'm a sagacious, wise, cute,
and vivacious high school girl.
**[16:50] Ririsu**
Huh?
**[16:50] Naori**
Huh? What's with your reaction?
**[16:53] Ririsu**
Wait, today's her birthday!
I need to gas her up!
**[16:57] Ririsu**
Yes, you are a sagacious, wise, cute,
and bodacious high school girl!
**[17:01] Naori**
Don't put your own spin on it.
**[17:03] Ririsu**
Call it a compliment.
**[17:07] Naori**
I've been thinking...
**[17:09] Ririsu**
About what?
**[17:10] Naori**
About starting a club
and roping Jun-kun in.
**[17:14] Ririsu**
A club, huh?
**[17:16] Ririsu**
What kind?
**[17:18] Ririsu**
I'll be right back.
**[17:19] Naori**
Sure.
**[17:30] Shiena**
Boom! Happy birthday, Nyao-Nyao!
**[17:34] Naori**
Wha? Why are you here?!
**[17:36] Ririsu**
Shiena-chan wanted to celebrate with us.
**[17:38] Naori**
Huh... Wait, what?
**[17:43] Shiena**
Here! For you!
**[17:46] Naori**
Gelista? You mentioned it before...
**[17:49] Shiena**
Give one to Rumichi for me.
**[17:52] Naori**
O-Okay. Thanks.
**[17:55] Shiena**
Hurry up and open it.
**[17:57] Naori**
I can't accept something so expensive.
**[17:58] Shiena**
Never mind that.
**[18:04] Naori**
Cute.
**[18:06] Naori**
This is super cute!
**[18:08] Shiena**
Isn't it? I designed it.
**[18:11] Naori**
What do you mean, you "designed" it?
**[18:14] Ririsu**
Her mom works at Gelista as a designer.
**[18:18] Naori**
Huh?
**[18:19] Naori**
Wait, that hyper lady is a designer?
**[18:23] Naori**
And... you designed this, Shiena?
**[18:27] Shiena**
Isn't it great? I modeled it after Ein.
**[18:30] Shiena**
It's still just a prototype, so don't
worry about the cost and stuff.
**[18:34] Shiena**
That aside...
**[18:37] Shiena**
You finally called me by name.
**[18:41] Shiena**
Oh, I nearly forgot! I have another gift for you!
**[18:49] Shiena**
You're crazy cute, Nyao-Nyao!
**[18:51] Shiena**
Gotta take pics! Cute, so cute!
**[18:53] Shiena**
She's an angel!
**[18:54] Naori**
Explain this, Chief!
**[18:59] Ririsu**
Sensei, I have a confession to make.
**[19:03] Ririsu**
Would you listen to it?
**[19:05] Naori**
Okay, what did you do?
**[19:06] Ririsu**
Well, Shiena-chan asked me to
help her get closer to you.
**[19:12] Naori**
Huh?
**[19:13] Ririsu**
But you take zero notice of
people you don't care about.
**[19:17] Ririsu**
So I told her...
**[19:19] Ririsu**
to tell Rumi-chan to ask you to tutor her.
**[19:25] Naori**
What?!
**[19:26] Naori**
No way! What the hell?!
**[19:29] Naori**
You planned it all?!
**[19:30] Naori**
Chief was the mastermind?!
**[19:31] Naori**
Palpatine was Chief?!
**[19:33] Naori**
This makes no sense!
**[19:35] Ririsu**
Of course, I knew Rumi-chan would
never introduce you straight up.
**[19:39] Ririsu**
I figured the offer would go
to Shirosaki-kun instead.
**[19:42] Ririsu**
That would definitely pique your interest.
**[19:45] Ririsu**
It was the surest way for her
to become friends with you.
**[19:49] Naori**
This girl's terrifying.
**[19:51] Shiena**
Sorry for kinda tricking you.
**[19:53] Naori**
"Kinda"?!
**[19:55] Naori**
You *did* trick me!
**[19:56] Shiena**
See, Riripon? She did get angry at me!
**[20:00] Naori**
Riripon?
**[20:01] Naori**
Huh? How do you two know each other, anyway?
**[20:03] Ririsu**
We're friends on an online game.
**[20:05] Ririsu**
You wouldn't believe how
much of an otaku she is.
**[20:08] Ririsu**
I think you two will get along.
**[20:11] Naori**
My brain can't process all this.
**[20:13] Shiena**
Let's be good friends, Nyao-Nyao.
**[20:16] Shiena**
Also, I teased Zaki quite a bit
because his reactions were so funny.
**[20:19] Shiena**
Sorry about that.
**[20:22] Shiena**
I've actually thought you're just
the cutest thing since middle school.
**[20:29] Shiena**
And I've been searching for
ways to get to know you.
**[20:32] Shiena**
Yikes, I went and said it!
I'm so embarrassed!
**[20:35] Shiena**
Don't get the wrong idea!
I didn't mean it that way!
**[20:38] Naori**
Hold up... What's with her reaction?
**[20:48] Jingujimom**
Go!
**[20:48] Naori**
Jun-kun.
**[20:49] Jingujidad**
Go for it!
**[20:50] Naori**
Chief was behind it all along.
**[20:52] Jun**
What are you talking about?
**[20:53] Naori**
I'm saying she's the worst. And the best.
**[20:59] Reira**
Shot clock!
**[21:01] Sign**
Hacchosugi
**[21:01] Sign**
Sakigahara
**[21:20] Jingujimom**
Yeah!
**[21:21] Jingujidad**
Woohoo!
**[21:32] Naori**
You still up?
**[21:33] Rumi**
Yeah.
**[21:34] Rumi**
I'm having trouble sleeping.
**[21:37] Naori**
I figured.
**[21:39] Naori**
That game-winning shot was awesome.
Good luck tomorrow, too.
**[21:43] Rumi**
Thanks. But where's this coming from?
**[21:47] Naori**
I've never cared about basketball
and I don't plan on starting.
**[21:52] Naori**
But I know that you've always given
it your all, ever since your junior days.
**[21:56] Naori**
So I will root for you. I have to,
as the one who introduced you to it.
**[22:00] Rumi**
You remember that, huh?
**[22:02] Naori**
"Recall," actually.
**[22:05] Naori**
I didn't expect you to take me seriously.
**[22:15] (Flashback) Naori**
If you like ball games so much,
why not pick up a sport?
**[22:19] (Flashback) Naori**
Basketball might be a good fit.
**[22:20] (Flashback) Rumi**
I've never tried. Wanna play together?
**[22:23] (Flashback) Naori**
No way.
**[22:30] (Flashback) Naori**
Wow, that was cool.
**[22:35] Rumi**
I play it because I love it.
You don't have to feel responsible.
**[22:39] Naori**
I won't, then.
**[22:41] Naori**
So, have you talked to
Jun-kun about tomorrow?
**[22:44] Rumi**
Tomorrow?
**[22:45] Naori**
Let me rephrase that.
**[22:47] Naori**
Did you get him to wish you
luck for tomorrow's game?
**[22:50] Rumi**
Not directly, no.
**[22:52] Naori**
Then go see him and get him to.
**[22:56] Rumi**
This late at night?
**[22:58] Naori**
It's fine. I'm sure he's up.
**[23:00] Naori**
Don't hesitate to use the geographical
advantage at times like this.
**[23:03] Rumi**
True. He's right next door.
**[23:06] Rumi**
We are childhood friends, after all.
**[23:21] Rumi**
Thanks, Naori.
**[23:23] Rumi**
I'll be right back.
**[23:24] Naori**
Yeah.
**[23:28] Naori**
*This is my parting gift.*
**[23:32] Naori**
*I won't be playing nice anymore, Onee-chan.*
