[00:01] Komari
    Please go out with me!
[00:11] Tamaki
    Well, um... this is all kind of sudden for me.
[00:16] Tamaki
    Can you give me some time to think?
[00:28] Koto
    Why didn't you just turn her down?
[00:30] Tamaki
    This is between me and Komari-chan.
    It isn't up to you.
[00:35] Koto
    Oh, sure. We've never been more
     than childhood friends, anyway.
[00:47] Koto
    Nothing but childhood friends, right?!
[00:54] Nukumizu
    I just want to forget all this
    and light some black snakes.
[02:28] Nukumizu
    From what the president said,
    it sounds like Komari might have a chance.
[02:34] Nukumizu
    I never thought Tsukinoki-senpai
    might end up as a losing heroine.
[02:37] Nukumizu
    Whoa!
[02:39] Nukumizu
    Were you in here this whole time?
[02:41] Tamaki
    I can't decide which one to go after.
[02:44] Tamaki
    Nukumizu...
[02:46] Tamaki
    Can I ask your advice?
[02:49] Nukumizu
    I don't believe this guy.
[02:51] Nukumizu
    That's basically like asking a worm
    how to defeat a goldfish!
[02:57] Tamaki
    I confessed to Koto once,
    but she turned me down.
[03:01] Nukumizu
    Huh?
[03:01] Nukumizu
    Are you serious? This must've been
    when you were, like, four or five, right?
[03:06] Tamaki
    Why do you say that?
    It was last Christmas.
[03:09] Nukumizu
    That's kind of recent.
[03:11] Tamaki
    Why did she act like that after
    she'd already turned me down?
[03:15] Tamaki
    It doesn't make any sense.
[03:18] Nukumizu
    Judging by how she reacted,
    there might be some misunderstanding.
[03:23] Nukumizu
    First of all, you should go back
    and have a good talk with her.
[03:27] Tamaki
    Are you...
[03:28] Tamaki
    Are you actually really
     experienced in love?
[03:31] Nukumizu
    Why would you think that?
[03:38] Nukumizu
    Try swallowing first.
[03:40] Anna
    Tsukinoki-senpai took her things and left!
[03:44] Nukumizu
    Where's she gonna go this late?
[03:46] Anna
    I have no idea.
[03:58] Tamaki
    Koto.
[04:04] Tamaki
    I thought you turned me down
    when I asked you out last Christmas.
[04:08] Koto
    Huh? Turned you down? Me?
[04:12] Tamaki
    You know. By that tree at the station.
    You said, "Yeah, in your dreams."
[04:17] Koto
    I think you said, "If you can't find someone to
    marry you, I guess I could fill in, so don't worry."
[04:22] Koto
    Is that when?
[04:23] Nukumizu
    That's what the president meant by a
    "confession"? That's worse than I imagined!
[04:28] Koto
    On Christmas? Is that how you ask
    someone out on Christmas? In high school?
[04:33] Koto
    Are you completely brain dead?!
[04:37] Koto
    I've been waiting...
[04:41] Koto
    All this time, I've been waiting for you.
[04:45] Koto
    Waiting and waiting.
[04:47] Tamaki
    Koto, I'm sorry.
[04:51] Nukumizu
    Let's go, Yanami-san.
[04:53] Anna
    Huh? But it's just starting to get good.
[04:57] Anna
    Hey. Nukumizu-kun?
[05:02] Anna
    Could you—
[05:03] Nukumizu
    We gotta go.
[05:04] Anna
    Um...
[05:05] Nukumizu
    We need to give them some space.
[05:11] Nukumizu
    Huh? What is it?
[05:14] Anna
    I mean, uh, my hand?
[05:16] Anna
    Are you ever gonna let go of it?
[05:20] Nukumizu
    O-Oh, sorry! I-I-I didn't mean anything by it.
[05:23] Nukumizu
    I'm really sorry.
[05:24] Anna
    You don't need to apologize that much.
[05:31] Anna
    What's this, Nukumizu-kun?
    Do you have something to confess to me?
[05:34] Nukumizu
    N-No, I don't.
[05:36] Anna
    Fine with me. Go right ahead.
    I'll turn you down, though.
[05:41] Nukumizu
    I just said I don't!
[05:46] Lemon
    Oh? Nuk-kun, what are you doing out here?
[05:49] Nukumizu
    What are you doing, Yakishio?
[05:51] Lemon
    Looking for stag beetles.
[05:53] Lemon
    I want to give one to
    Komari-chan to cheer her up.
[05:56] Nukumizu
    What makes you think a
    beetle will cheer her up?
[05:59] Lemon
    Check this one out. It's huge!
[06:01] Lemon
    It's in your hands now, Nuk-kun.
[06:07] Komari
    I-I just talked to the president.
[06:12] Komari
    H-He said no. Formally turned me down.
[06:16] Nukumizu
    He did, huh? He actually
    gave you a straight answer?
[06:23] Komari
    N-Nukumizu, I bet you would've
    chickened out and made me wait.
[06:27] Nukumizu
    How did you guess?
[06:29] Komari
    Y-You really are a jerk.
[06:34] Komari
    The president actually thought about it.
[06:38] Komari
    He seriously considered
    g-going out with me.
[06:46] Komari
    For just a second,
    I had Tsukinoki-senpai beat.
[06:53] Komari
    I'm gonna cry. C-Can you leave me alone?
[06:58] Komari
    Please?
[07:06] Nukumizu
    Until recently, I'd never
    even talked to these people.
[07:10] Nukumizu
    Now that we're here together,
    I'm getting caught up in all their drama.
[07:15] Nukumizu
    What's gonna happen after camp ends?
[07:21] Nukumizu
    Maybe I'll try writing something.

    All right, I'm submitting the first parts.
[07:29] Tamaki
    Komari-chan, is yours good like this?
[07:31] Komari
    Yes, with that title.
    I don't want to split it up.
[07:36] Komari
    I want people to read part one like this.
[07:39] Tamaki
    Good idea. That way, people
    can see the quality of your writing.

    Okay, upload complete.
[07:48] Komari
    P-President, I don't really know
     how to use the Lit Icon site,
[07:55] Komari
    so I hope you'll keep showing me how.
[07:57] Tamaki
    Sure. No problem.
[08:05] Komari
    S-Senpai, I-I just uploaded my story,
     so please take a look.
[08:13] Koto
    Sure. I'll leave a comment.
[08:17] Komari
    U-Um...
[08:19] Komari
    And please keep coming to the club.
    I-It'd be lonely without you.
[08:29] Koto
    What? Oh, gosh. Sorry, I don't mean to... Huh?
[08:35] Komari
    S-Senpai, you d-don't have
    to worry about me. So...
[08:42] Komari
    Please don't cry. It's okay.
[08:45] Koto
    Thanks.

[08:57] Anna's friend B
    I did, I did!
[08:58] Lemon
    Good morning, Nuk-kun!
[09:01] Nukumizu
    Oh. Good morning.
[09:02] Lemon
    I have a draft for the literature club.
[09:05] Nukumizu
    What is this? A picture diary?
[09:07] Lemon
    Yeah. Think you could upload
    it to that site for me?
[09:11] Nukumizu
    Wait, is that supposed to be me?
[09:14] Lemon
    Did you upload yours, Nuk-kun?
[09:16] Nukumizu
    Uh, yeah. Just the beginning, though.
[09:21] Lemon
    Oh, hey, you've already got comments!
[09:24] Lemon
    Anyway, please upload mine
    when you get a chance.
[09:28] Nukumizu
    Uh, sure.

    For sure.
[10:06] Girl A
    Yanami's got bad taste.
[10:09] Girl C
    Yeah.
[10:10] Girl C
    I don't even know what he looks like, though.
[10:14] Girl B
    So what are they to each other, anyway?
[10:17] Girl A
    Who knows?
[10:18] Girl C
    I guess I don't really get Yanami, either.
[10:21] Girl A
    No kidding.
[10:32] Friend
    Let's go.
[10:45] Anna
    That was pretty rude, Nukumizu-kun.
[10:48] Nukumizu
    Huh?
[10:49] Anna
    You totally ignored me.
[10:50] Nukumizu
    Well, I wasn't trying to.
[10:53] Anna
    Huh. I guess that's okay, then.
[10:56] Nukumizu
    Cucumber and, uh, what's this? Moromi miso?
[10:59] Anna
    Yeah. What's it worth to you?
[11:08] Anna
    What's the matter?
[11:17] Nukumizu
    It's worth 2,867 yen.
[11:19] Anna
    Oh! That's a new record...
[11:22] Anna
    Wait. Isn't that about the same
     as the remaining balance?
[11:28] Nukumizu
    It feels like I've been taking advantage
    of you this whole time, Yanami-san.
[11:32] Nukumizu
    I don't think that's right.
    The bentos were really good, though.
[11:37] Nukumizu
    Thanks for everything.
[11:44] Anna
    This did all start because I didn't have
    enough money, but I'm enjoying it now.
[11:49] Anna
    I don't want to call it off just like that.
[11:53] Nukumizu
    People have been spreading rumors
    about us eating lunch together.
[11:58] Nukumizu
    You don't want that, do you?
    People thinking that we might be—
[12:01] Anna
    Listen. I don't know
    where you're going with this.
[12:05] Anna
    Did I do something to hurt your feelings?
[12:08] Nukumizu
    No!
[12:11] Nukumizu
    No, you didn't.
[12:14] Nukumizu
    But I just don't like it.
[12:17] Nukumizu
    I don't want people spreading
    rumors like that about us.
[12:24] Anna
    Okay, fine.
[12:28] Anna
    That's fine with me.
    I won't talk to you anymore.
[12:32] Anna
    Thanks for everything.
    It was kind of fun. Bye.

    You seem sorta out of it.

    No need to worry. I'm always out of it.
[12:56] Lemon
    Oh? Or maybe you have someone on your mind?
[13:01] Lemon
    Not that it's any of my business.

[13:40] Nukumizu
    After eating lunch together
    for all this time,

    So...

    So?

    I had fun, too. I just wanted you to know.

    Yanami-san and I weren't like that, though.

    I know how this goes.

    What's the wallet for?
[15:16] Nukumizu
    I was wrong. I misread the situation.
[15:18] Sosuke
    You always were a joker, Nukumizu.
[15:21] Sosuke
    You've been seeing Anna recently, right?
[15:24] Nukumizu
    Huh?

    A couple was spotted fooling
    around by the old building.

    Komari-chan messaged me saying Nukumizu-kun
    was getting bullied by some stud.
[16:06] Sosuke
    Sorry, Anna. I just really hoped
    you'd find someone new.

    Would you cut that out?

    I just want you to be happy.

    Stop.

    I know there are way better
    guys than me out there.

    I said stop!

    Anna!

    Would you just stop?!

    Listen, Hakamada.

    Pick up and dump all the girls
     you want. I don't care.
[16:34] Nukumizu
    But you can't tell Yanami-san
    how she's supposed to feel.
[16:40] Nukumizu
    If you do, she's gonna forget about how much
    she used to like you. Don't you get that?
[16:45] Nukumizu
    You want her to be happy?
    To find someone new?
[16:49] Nukumizu
    You're the one who turned her down!
[16:51] Nukumizu
    You're the last person
     who should be saying that!

    Hey! You okay?
[17:01] Sosuke
    You're right. You're absolutely right.
[17:05] Nukumizu
    Okay. Sorry I got so pushy there.

    "Turned her down"? "Turned her down"?! Shut up!

    Why are you pretending
    like this is some happy ending?!

    Th-Then...

    Did he take you?!

    Hey, Yana-chan, this is bad!
    They're totally getting in the mood.
[19:36] Anna
    I don't know for sure, but I kinda doubt it.
    This is Nukumizu-kun, after all.
[19:43] Anna
    Oh? Did we actually interrupt something?
[19:46] Nukumizu
    D-Don't be stupid.
[19:48] Lemon
    Is the lit club doing
    anything during vacation?
[19:51] Nukumizu
    Um, Tsukinoki-senpai did say she
    wanted to do something together.
[19:55] Lemon
    Awesome! It's summer, so let's go hunt beetles!
[19:59] Anna
    The training camp was fun, wasn't it?
[20:01] Nukumizu
    Yeah, I guess so.
[20:05] Anna
    Hmm? What is it?
[20:07] Nukumizu
    Oh, uh, well...
[20:10] Nukumizu
    I'll tell you later.
[20:13] Komari
    U-Um...
[20:15] Komari
    I-I'm thinking about maybe
    starting running or s-something.
[20:20] Komari
    W-Will you teach me good form and stuff—
[20:22] Lemon
    I've got you! Let's train to run the
    100-meter in under 12 seconds together!
[20:25] Komari
    N-Nukumizu!
[20:28] Komari
    Y-You owe me one! W-Wait up...
[20:32] Anna
    Kinda weird, isn't it?
[20:36] Anna
    I mean, I never really crossed paths
    with you or Komari-chan before.
[20:41] Anna
    And I didn't really know what the lit club
    did until we went camping together.
[20:46] Anna
    But when I tried writing, I really enjoyed it.
[20:50] Anna
    And I liked the books
    Komari-chan recommended.
[20:54] Anna
    I think books are great.
[21:05] Anna
    What's the matter?
[21:07] Nukumizu
    Yanami-san, we need to talk.
[21:10] Anna
    Huh? We do?
[21:12] Nukumizu
    Yeah. About something really important.

    Now wait just a second!
[21:21] Anna
    Nukumizu-kun, you should probably think
    this through carefully one more time.
[21:25] Nukumizu
    I've thought about it enough.
    If I don't say it right now, I know I'll regret it.
[21:31] Anna
    U-Um, okay.
[21:37] Anna
    I'll just listen, then.
[21:42] Nukumizu
    Yanami-san, will you...
[21:46] Anna
    Y-Yes?
[21:49] Nukumizu
    ...please become friends with me?
[21:49] Anna
    Sorry! I think of you as a friend!
[21:56] Anna
    Become friends?
[21:58] Nukumizu
    Yeah.
[22:04] Anna
    That's all you meant?
[22:08] Nukumizu
    Hold on a sec.
[22:09] Nukumizu
    I didn't even ask you out and
     you already turned me down?!
[22:11] Anna
    Well, yeah, I guess you could say I did.
[22:16] Anna
    Welcome to the land of the dumped.
[22:18] Nukumizu
    I wasn't dumped! I didn't ask you out!
[22:21] Nukumizu
    If I was going to ask you out, first we'd
    have to be friends for two or three years,
[22:25] Nukumizu
    then once we'd confirmed our feelings
    for each other, we could, um...
[22:28] Anna
    Does that mean you're going to propose
    to me in three years, Nukumizu-kun?
[22:32] Anna
    Should I save you the trouble and say "no" now?
[22:34] Nukumizu
    No, I'm not! I mean, that's different!
[22:36] Anna
    We're just friends anyway, aren't we?
[22:39] Nukumizu
    Huh? Are we?
[22:42] Anna
    What else would we be?
[22:46] Anna
    That's what I'm talking about, Nukumizu-kun.
[22:49] Nukumizu
    What is what you're
    talking about, Yanami-san?
[22:57] Nukumizu
    Thanks, Yanami-san.
[22:59] Anna
    You're very welcome.
[23:01] Anna
    Nice to befriend you, fellow dumpee.
[23:14] Nukumizu
    I still haven't been dumped, though.
