E1 - Professional Childhood Friend Yanami Anna's Style of Losing Source: Crunchyroll Translator: Editor: Timer: QC: (Please feel free to edit the speaker names if incomplete or inaccurate. Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [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.

[06:21] 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.

[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.

[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.

[13:30] Nukumizu     I don't need to worry about     lunch money for a while. [13:31] Nukumizu     Maybe I can hold off on new books and catch     up on a few series the lit club doesn't have.

[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?

[14:37] 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.

[15:14] 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.

[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!

[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.

[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."
