[00:09] Nukumizu
They say seven out of ten high school
couples break up within a year.
[00:15] Nukumizu
If you include after graduation,
almost all of them are destined to break up.
[00:20] Nukumizu
Even so, people still get swept up in love.
In the tears. In the laughter.
[00:26] Nukumizu
I don't have a lot of confidence,
in reality or in myself,
[00:30] Nukumizu
that I'll ever find my world changed
by a fleeting relationship like that.
[00:35] Nukumizu
But sometimes, I wonder.
[00:40] Nukumizu
What if I actually did have an
experience like that in my teens?
[00:44] Nukumizu
What if I did find a teary-eyed
heroine standing before me?
[00:49] Nukumizu
What if I was the main
character in a light novel?
[00:52] Nukumizu
If that happened...
[00:55] Nukumizu
what would I think about it?
[01:02] (Flashback) Kurumi
You did your best, big brother!
I know it must've been hard.
[01:06] Kurumi & Nukumizu
"I know all about how dedicated you are."
[01:10] Nukumizu
"So if you need anyone to lean on,
your little Kurumi is right here for you."
[01:20] Nukumizu
Oh, this is so good.
And I'm finally about to get to the climax!
[01:24] Nukumizu
Every book in this series has twenty pages
of the lead getting totally pampered.
[01:27] Anna
You can't, Sosuke!
[01:29] Anna
You can't be wasting time like this!
[01:32] Sosuke
But...
[01:33] Nukumizu
They're in my class.
That's Yanami Anna and Hakamada Sosuke.
[01:38] Nukumizu
Why are they having a lovers'
quarrel in a place like this?
[01:40] Anna
If you don't go see her now,
Karen-chan is gonna leave for England!
[01:44] Anna
Don't you care about that?
[01:45] Nukumizu
Karen must be that girl
who transferred recently.
[01:48] (Flashback) Karen
A-ha! You're that molester from before!
[01:52] Nukumizu
She's already transferring again?
And to England?
[01:55] Nukumizu
The story's moving way too fast!
[01:57] Sosuke
But Karen... already said goodbye to me.
[02:00] Anna
That obviously means she
wants you to go see her!
[02:04] Sosuke
How would you know—
[02:05] Anna
Because I get it!
[02:06] Anna
I mean, that's how I've always
felt about you, Sosuke.
[02:13] Sosuke
Anna...
[02:15] Sosuke
I...
[02:18] Anna
Go to her. Karen-chan's waiting for you.
[02:30] Sosuke
I'm so sorry.
[02:36] Anna
Don't apologize to me, idiot.
[02:40] Nukumizu
Maybe I'll just pretend
I didn't see anything.
[02:49] Nukumizu
N-No! Anything but that!
[02:56] Nukumizu
Stop! That's so painfully desperate!
[03:22] Employee
Miss! Are you all right?
[03:24] Nukumizu
I didn't see a thing.
[03:34] Anna
Sosuke and I have been friends
since we were little.
[03:38] Nukumizu
Uh...
[03:39] Anna
He made me a ring out of white clover.
[03:42] Anna
He said he'd make me his wife.
[03:46] Anna
His wife.
[03:50] Nukumizu
His wife... His wife!
[03:50] Nukumizu
Yanami-san, are you okay?!
[03:56] Nukumizu
For now, just drink that
and try to calm down.
[03:58] Anna
Thanks. You're in my class...
Nukumizu-kun, right?
[04:03] Nukumizu
Huh? You're asking me that now?
[04:06] Anna
This is really good.
[04:08] Nukumizu
It's rosehip tea.
[04:10] Nukumizu
It's supposed to be good for the skin.
[04:13] Anna
For my skin?
[04:15] Anna
I don't have anyone to show it off to.
[04:17] Nukumizu
Stop! Too graphic for me!
[04:19] employee
Extra large fries. Here you are.
[04:21] Anna
Yes, thank you!
[04:22] Nukumizu
What? I didn't order that.
[04:24] Anna
You're fine with honey mustard
and cod roe mayo for sauces, right?
[04:28] Nukumizu
Did you order that, Yanami-san?
[04:30] Anna
Karen-chan's a dear friend of mine. But...
[04:34] Anna
But you know, she just
transferred here in May!
[04:38] Anna
Don't the twelve years I've known
Sosuke count for anything?
[04:42] Nukumizu
I'll ask one more time.
Was it you who ordered the fries?
[04:46] Anna
Sosuke said he'd make me his wife.
Isn't that mean? What a liar, right?
[04:52] Nukumizu
When exactly did he say that?
[04:55] Anna
It was before elementary school,
so we must've been about four or five.
[04:59] Nukumizu
Yeah, that doesn't count.
[05:00] Anna
Wait. Does this mean he's cheating on me?
[05:03] Nukumizu
Were you and Hakamada actually dating?
[05:05] Anna
Oh, gosh. I guess it probably looked that way.
[05:09] Nukumizu
So you weren't even going out?
Then it's not cheating at all!
[05:13] Anna
I-I mean, it was basically like
we were half-dating, though.
[05:16] Anna
And if that soggy cow hadn't waltzed onto
the scene, we'd probably still be together!
[05:21] Nukumizu
Wasn't she a "dear friend" a moment ago?
[05:23] Anna
But I get it.
[05:25] Anna
If I'd worked up the courage sooner,
things might not have turned out like this.
[05:30] Nukumizu
W-Well, you might be right.
[05:32] Anna
I'm sorry I'm such a mess today.
[05:35] Nukumizu
No, it's totally fine.
[05:36] Nukumizu
That's not what you need to apologize for.
[05:39] Anna
But I'm okay with it.
[05:40] Anna
As long as Sosuke's happy, I'm okay with it.
[05:47] Nukumizu
What a spectacular reaction
to getting rejected.
[05:51] Nukumizu
Speaking of, there's a term that
perfectly describes girls like her.
[05:57] Nukumizu
Yanami Anna. Yes, it fits you perfectly.
[06:00] Nukumizu
You're a "losing heroine."

[06:16] Nukumizu
Few realize that the flavor of water
changes depending on the faucet.
[06:21] Nukumizu
I am one of those who does.
[06:24] Nukumizu
In the morning, the water from
this faucet really is the best.
[06:29] Nukumizu
It's the farthest one from
the water tank on the roof,
[06:32] Nukumizu
so the water has a much
lower chlorine content.
[06:34] Nukumizu
Once I've had my fill, I calculate the distance
and time it'll take me to get back to class.
[06:40] Nukumizu
If I get back too soon, I may find someone
in my seat, and that'd be annoying.
[06:46] Nukumizu
Perfect.
[06:49] Nukumizu
But someone's in my seat.
[06:51] Nukumizu
Ah, shoot. I guess that explains it.

Okay, then the three of us
should eat lunch together!
[07:04] Nukumizu
Impressive.
[07:07] Anna
I'm gonna pass on that.
[07:09] Anna
Sosuke, be sure to take
good care of Karen-chan.
[07:13] Karen
Anna!
[07:15] Karen
You really are my best friend, Anna.
[07:18] Nukumizu
Even though she calls you a "soggy cow"?
[07:22] Nukumizu
Well, maybe Yanami's over it by now...
[07:26] Nukumizu
Wow. Yeah, she's not over anything yet.
[07:32] Nukumizu
Hey, Yanami-san.
[07:35] Nukumizu
U-Um, you're on duty today, right?
[07:39] Nukumizu
Amanatsu-sensei's asking for you
to go help in the printing room.
[07:42] Anna
Oh, really? I'm on my way.
[07:47] Anna
Nukumizu-kun, did you
say that to help me out?
[07:50] Nukumizu
Well, kind of.
[07:53] Anna
Thanks.
[07:54] Anna
Another second and I'd have had
a death grip on Karen-chan's boobs.
[07:57] Nukumizu
How can she say that with a straight face?
[08:00] Nukumizu
Oh, by the way, remember
how I paid for you on Friday?
[08:03] Anna
Oh, yeah. Thanks for that.
[08:07] Anna
I don't have my wallet on me, but maybe you
can meet me at the emergency stairs at lunch?
[08:12] Nukumizu
Huh?
[08:13] Anna
The fire escape staircase.
In the old building.
[08:15] Nukumizu
Sure. As long as you pay me back.
[08:21] Anna
You know, they actually started dating.
[08:23] Anna
So why did they ask me to
eat with them? It's so weird.
[08:26] Anna
And here I thought we were good friends.
[08:28] Anna
I wonder if they're trying
to hurt me even more.
[08:32] Nukumizu
Are you guys seriously best friends?
[08:33] Amanatsu
Hey! Yanami!
[08:35] Amanatsu
What are you doing? Class is about to st—
[08:39] Anna
Amana-chan, are you okay?
[08:41] Amanatsu
Ow, ow, ow. Thanks.
[08:43] Nukumizu
Amanatsu-sensei, aren't these
the wrong lesson materials?
[08:47] Amanatsu
Hey, I don't know who you think you are,
but get it together, man!
[08:51] Amanatsu
In second year, we cover the
Byzantine Empire! Viva Byzantine!
[08:56] Anna
Sensei, your next class is 1-C.
[08:58] Amanatsu
Huh?!
[09:00] Nukumizu
And I'm actually one
of your students, Sensei.
[09:04] Amanatsu
Byzantine!
[09:04] Anna
Not Byzantine.
[09:12] female student
Isn't that wild?
[09:20] Anna
Please save me.
[09:22] Anna
Karen-chan wants the three of us to
go do karaoke together after school.
[09:27] Nukumizu
So why don't you?
[09:28] Anna
They're gonna make me
listen to them sing a duet!
[09:32] Anna
Nukumizu-kun, are you
saying you want me to die?
[09:35] Nukumizu
Well, no... Uh, good luck, I guess.
[09:39] Nukumizu
So about the money from before—
[09:41] Anna
That night...
[09:42] Anna
I even got a message from Sosuke's sister.
[09:45] Anna
"I can't get a hold of Sosuke.
Are you two together?"
[09:50] Anna
Now, why in the world didn't
he see her messages? I wonder.
[09:52] Nukumizu
Somebody save me.
[09:54] Anna
I wonder.
[09:55] Anna
I wonder!
[09:59] Anna
Sorry.
[10:00] Anna
I can't talk about this with any
of my friends or acquaintances.
[10:04] Nukumizu
Guess that means I'm not
even an acquaintance.
[10:08] Nukumizu
So... do you think you can
finally pay me back now?
[10:12] Nukumizu
Here's the receipt from before.
[10:14] Anna
Yeah, thanks so much for that.
You really saved my—
[10:19] Anna
Oh, my. Did the total go up?
[10:21] Nukumizu
Yanami-san, you also got an order
of watermelon pancakes, remember?
[10:25] Anna
Uh-huh.
[10:25] Nukumizu
And you finished up with
a pork shabu udon salad.
[10:28] Anna
'Cause salads don't make you gain weight.
[10:30] Nukumizu
I'm not opposed to your faith
in salads. Not at all.
[10:34] Anna
It's just an idea, but what if I were
to repay you in some other way?
[10:39] Nukumizu
Some other way?
[10:43] Anna
I'm not actually very good at it,
so I'm not sure if it'll satisfy you,
[10:49] Anna
but Sosuke used to say he really liked it.
[10:52] Nukumizu
Huh? What?!
[10:53] Nukumizu
She can't possibly mean
doing something wet and sticky!
[10:56] Nukumizu
No way! This is bad! And we're at school!
[11:00] Anna
I...
[11:01] Nukumizu
Listen—
[11:02] Anna
I'm not very good at cooking,
but I think I could manage a bento lunch!
[11:07] Nukumizu
A bento lunch?
[11:08] Anna
Something wrong?
[11:09] Nukumizu
Oh, right! A bento lunch!
[11:12] Nukumizu
But one bento lunch
probably won't cover it...
[11:14] Anna
Right, so I'll make you one every day
until it equals the amount on the receipt.
[11:18] Nukumizu
Uh, I'm not sure—
[11:19] Anna
Okay, we'll start tomorrow.
I'll be waiting here.

Sure.

[11:46] Nukumizu
Huh? Who? From where?
[11:51] Komari
Um, my name is Komari.
From the literature club. Komari Chika.
[11:56] Komari
U-Um, I need to speak with you!
A-About the club.
[12:00] Nukumizu
With me? What does the
literature club want with me?
[12:05] Komari
W-Well, that's...
[12:10] Komari
Nukumizu-kun, you're in the lit club, right?
[12:13] Nukumizu
Huh?
[12:14] Komari
Huh?
[12:16] Nukumizu
Come to think of it...
[12:17] Nukumizu
Just after I started here, I think I got talked
into signing up for the literature club.
[12:24] Nukumizu
"The student council sent out a warning about
members who aren't participating in the club"?
[12:30] Koto
Nukumizu-kun, right? It's been a while.
[12:34] Nukumizu
I apologize. I think I've
been ghosting for a while.
[12:36] Koto
It helps a lot having you back, though.
[12:39] Koto
I'm the vice president, Tsukinoki Koto.
Third-year. Remember me?
[12:43] Nukumizu
Oh, sure. Of course I do.
[12:45] Nukumizu
Of course I'm lying.
[12:50] Nukumizu
Not a bad selection.
[12:52] Koto
You can borrow whatever you want.
Just don't touch the Dazai or Mishima.

[13:30] Nukumizu
I don't need to worry about
lunch money for a while.

Maybe I can hold off on new books and catch
up on a few series the lit club doesn't have.

You're the Innocent Queen of Darkness.

At least up to volume 5, when my favorite
character starts turning to the dark side—
[13:44] Nukumizu
Kaju.
[13:46] Nukumizu
Why are you in my room?
[13:47] Kaju
I'm in here most of the time.
You just don't notice me.
[13:50] Nukumizu
What a creepy thing to say.
[13:51] Kaju
So, big brother, have you
made any friends at school?
[13:56] Kaju
Have no fear, big brother. I, Kaju,
will find you some friends without fail.
[14:03] Kaju
First of all, I'll make you a chara-ben.
[14:05] Nukumizu
Kmff-rhf-bmf?
[14:06] Kaju
Yes! A character bento's a great
conversation starter that'll win people over!
[14:12] Nukumizu
Oh, uh, I've actually got someone
making lunch for me for a while.
[14:20] Kaju
B-B-Big brother, are you saying
you're going out with a woman?!
[14:23] Nukumizu
No, I'm not!
[14:24] Kaju
Oh, of course not!
[14:25] Kaju
How could someone with
no friends have a girlfriend?
[14:28] Kaju
But isn't it strange to have a non-friend
non-girlfriend making lunch for you?
[14:33] Nukumizu
Well, I've actually paid for it.
[14:37] Kaju
Oh, eating out with a working girl?
[14:39] Kaju
It must be one of those "bento lunch" things.
My friends told me all about that.
[14:45] Nukumizu
Kaju.
[14:46] Kaju
Yes, what?
[14:48] Nukumizu
You need to find better friends.
[14:52] Anna
Isn't that mean?
[14:54] Nukumizu
What is?
[14:55] Anna
I'm talking about you!
I asked for your help yesterday.
[14:59] Anna
I had to listen to the brand-new
couple singing duets together.
[15:03] Anna
Can you imagine how that felt?!
[15:06] Nukumizu
So what about my lunch?
[15:09] Anna
Here you go.
[15:12] Nukumizu
Um, what's this?
[15:14] Anna
I tried to make two bento
lunches this morning,
[15:17] Anna
and my mom was like,
"I'm sure Sosuke-kun will be thrilled!"
[15:22] Nukumizu
This is convenience store food, right?
[15:24] Anna
That's why I couldn't make enough for two.
[15:27] Nukumizu
The packaging's clearly
handmade, but still...
[15:30] Nukumizu
Okay. Let's say this is 268 yen.
[15:33] Anna
Too cheap!
[15:34] Nukumizu
But that's the actual price.
[15:38] Nukumizu
Fine. 300 yen.
[15:41] Nukumizu
Anyway, why don't you keep
your distance from those two?
[15:47] Anna
Everyone's walking on eggshells
around me in class.
[15:51] Anna
'Cause, like, Sosuke and I used
to be together all the time.
[15:55] Anna
"Oh, what? Did Yanami get dumped?"
That's the vibe right now.
[16:00] Nukumizu
Um, I'm not sure what to...
[16:04] Nukumizu
Okay, 350 yen.

Sorry. I have prep school today.
[16:32] Lemon
Huh? You're still a first-year.
[16:34] Lemon
If all you do is study,
you're just gonna get dumber.
[16:38] Ayano
And if you don't study more,
you'll end up repeating the year.

to cram school if we don't get going.

Oh, Chihaya. I'm coming.

See you later, Lemon.
[16:50] Lemon
Huh? Oh... Bye-bye.
[16:54] Lemon
Hey, are you and Mitsuki friends?
[16:58] Nukumizu
Uh, we're not exactly friends,
but we go to the same cram school—
[17:02] Lemon
So do you know who that girl was?
[17:05] Nukumizu
Um, Asagumo-san, I think?
[17:08] Nukumizu
She and Ayano are both
taking the advanced course.
[17:10] Lemon
Advanced course, huh?
[17:13] Lemon
I guess Mitsuki's into smart girls after all.
[17:17] Anna
Lemon-chan, what are your intentions?
[17:19] Lemon
Huh? N-Nothing.
[17:22] Lemon
It's just, we've been in the same
class since elementary school...
[17:24] Anna
Sounds like you're childhood friends.
[17:27] Anna
Which means...
[17:29] Anna
That woman is the homewrecker.
[17:32] Nukumizu
Oh, come on. "Homewrecker"?
[17:34] Anna
Listen, Nukumizu-kun,
there are only two types of girls.
[17:38] Anna
The childhood friend and the homewrecker.
[17:41] Nukumizu
I see.
[17:42] Nukumizu
But what a contrast!
[17:43] Lemon
Hey, what do those two look like to you?
[17:46] Anna
They seem pretty friendly,
but didn't they meet just recently?
[17:52] Anna
Maybe they're just plain friends.
[17:55] Lemon
Right! I'm sure they're just plain friends!
[17:58] Lemon
I knew you'd get it, Yana-chan!
[18:01] Anna
Lemon-chan, I kinda feel like
we're not that different after all.
[18:05] Anna
I'm rooting for you!
[18:09] Anna
They're asking me to hang out again today.
[18:12] Anna
"Wanna come study at Karen-chan's house?"
[18:15] Nukumizu
You should say no.
[18:16] Anna
But if I don't go,
it'll be just the two of them!
[18:19] Nukumizu
That may be true, but where's my lunch?
[18:22] Anna
Nukumizu-kun, you ever think this
might be why you don't have friends?
[18:26] Nukumizu
I don't need that from you.
[18:28] Anna
Hold the lid a minute.
[18:31] Anna
I only have one lunch box I can use,
so I shoved the two servings into one box.
[18:38] Anna
Okay, let's eat.
[18:41] Anna
Nukumizu-kun, how much is that worth?
[18:45] Nukumizu
Um, let's say 400 yen.
[18:47] Anna
Nice! Not bad at all.
[18:48] Anna
At this rate, I should be able to
pay it off by summer vacation.

[19:53] Anna
You can see the field from here.
[19:56] Nukumizu
Oh. Yeah.
[19:58] Anna
Isn't that Lemon-chan over there?
[20:02] Anna
Lemon-chan... She sure is fast.
[20:05] Nukumizu
I heard she placed in the
prefectural competition.
[20:07] Anna
How'd you know that?
[20:09] Nukumizu
I'm no slouch when it comes to
reading the announcement board.
[20:14] Anna
Lemon-chan's so cool.
[20:35] Anna
I guess I really got dumped.
[20:39] Anna
I understood it in my head, but I don't
think my body had figured it out yet.
[20:46] Anna
I was here thinking,
"Wow, Lemon-chan sure can run."
[20:51] Anna
And then it turned into
"Wow, I sure got dumped."
[20:56] Anna
Nukumizu-kun, maybe if you get dumped flat
on your face someday, you'll know what I mean.
[21:00] Nukumizu
You think so?
[21:02] Anna
Still, nothing changes after you've been dumped.
Doesn't even feel like a fresh start.
[21:07] Anna
But still, everything around
you keeps moving on,
[21:11] Anna
so you've got to keep moving, too.
[21:14] Nukumizu
I've never been dumped before,
so I don't really get it.
[21:19] Anna
Spoken like a lady-killer.
[21:26] Nukumizu
They say seven out of ten high school
couples break up within a year.
[21:31] Nukumizu
If you include after graduation,
almost all of them are destined to break up.
[21:36] Nukumizu
Even so, people still get swept up in love.
In the tears. In the laughter.
[21:43] Nukumizu
I don't have a lot of confidence,
in reality or in myself,
[21:47] Nukumizu
that I'll ever find my world changed
by a fleeting relationship like that.
[21:52] Nukumizu
But sometimes, I wonder.
[21:56] Nukumizu
What if I actually did have an
experience like that in my teens?
[22:00] Nukumizu
What if I did find a teary-eyed
heroine standing before me?
[22:05] Nukumizu
What if I was the main
character in a light novel?
[22:10] Nukumizu
If that happened...
