[00:07] Nukumizu
    A lot of students are dressing up
    for this year's Tsuwabuki Fest.
[00:11] Nukumizu
    It's not unlike Halloween.
[00:15] Karen
    Hey, get out of my way!
[00:18] Nukumizu
    Oh, I've seen that exact line...
[00:20] Nukumizu
    in light novels before.
[00:33] Nukumizu
    I've seen this in light novels, too.
[02:08] Karen
    I'm really sorry! Are you sure you're okay?
[02:11] Karen
    Does anything hurt? Any bumps anywhere?
[02:14] Nukumizu
    Uh, well...
[02:20] Nukumizu
    Thanks for your concern.
[02:22] Karen
    I should be the one thanking you.
[02:24] Karen
    You're even carrying half my stuff for me.
[02:27] Karen
    Hey, hey!
[02:31] Karen
    Let's walk to the classroom together.
[02:34] Karen
    I've been wanting to talk to you, anyway.
[02:37] Karen
    Sosuke and Anna are always talking about you,
     so it almost feels like I know you.
[02:42] Nukumizu
    Um, I do talk to Hakamada sometimes,
    but it's not like we're really friends.
[02:45] Karen
    Oh, really?
[02:47] Karen
    Then why don't you become
    friends with both of us?
[02:51] Karen
    Okay?
[02:53] Nukumizu
    Oh, no! She's so dazzling,
    she's gonna kill me!
[02:57] Nukumizu
    It's almost like Himemiya-san
    has light affinity.
[03:00] Nukumizu
    She definitely has a certain
    something that Yanami doesn't.
[03:02] Nukumizu
    It's like TV, where you think, "Wow, 4K
    looks awesome!" And then 8K comes out...
[03:09] Nukumizu
    Oh, it's 4K.
[03:10] Anna
    For-kay?
[03:11] Nukumizu
    No, never mind.

[03:16] Komari
    Y-You're late. Where were you?
[03:18] Nukumizu
    I had a meeting about my class event.
[03:21] Nukumizu
    Didn't you have one?
[03:23] Komari
    N-No.
[03:26] Komari
    Nobody in class told me anything.
[03:30] Nukumizu
    O-Oh. I guess not, then.
[03:35] Nukumizu
    Try these out.
[03:37] Nukumizu
    First, the sugar-coated peanuts
     Natsume Soseki liked so much.
[03:40] Nukumizu
    I gave it a modern update with
    cocoa powder, so give it a taste.
[03:45] Komari
    Oh, yum! D-Did you make this, Nukumizu?
[03:49] Nukumizu
    No, my little sister did.
    Same with the others.
[03:53] Komari
    Th-Then what did you do?
[03:55] Nukumizu
    I washed dishes and gave her
     shoulder massages and stuff.
[03:58] Nukumizu
    Oh, I also did the packaging.
[04:01] Nukumizu
    Next up is Dazai's. We made a cherry
    pound cake for his story "Cherries."
[04:05] Nukumizu
    I think this one tastes the best.
[04:08] Komari
    It's m-marbled? It's so pretty.
[04:12] Nukumizu
    We used canned dark cherries and syrup
    to add color. Well, my sister did.
[04:17] Nukumizu
    The next two are from the picture books
    Swimmy and Guri and Gura.
[04:24] Komari
    J-Just like in the b-books!
[04:26] Komari
    Y-Your little sister is amazing.
[04:29] Nukumizu
    But see these bags? I picked them.
    I could use some praise, too, you know.
[04:34] Komari
    N-Nukumizu, w-way to go.

    Yes! I am the first-born son!
    See what I can do when I put my mind to it?

[04:47] Nukumizu
    Okay, got it. I'll put those together.
[04:52] Nukumizu
    What are all those books?
[04:53] Komari
    I-I got them from the public library.
    I have to return them today.
[04:58] Nukumizu
    How did you get so many of them here?
[05:00] Komari
    B-Bit by bit.
[05:02] Komari
    Th-The copy machine
    here at school is cheaper.
[05:12] Nukumizu
    You just returned a bunch
    and now you're borrowing more?
[05:15] Komari
    I s-still need some to write the exhibit

    How are the articles for the displays going?
[05:31] Komari
    I-It'll take a little longer.
[05:33] Nukumizu
    There are four of them, right?
    Let me write one of them.
[05:37] Komari

[05:42] Nukumizu
    Okay, I'll write that.
[05:49] Nukumizu
    What's wrong?
[05:50] Komari
    G-Get your head down.

     to show up, so yeah.
[06:20] Komari
    I-I don't care. I-I know they're dating.
[06:24] Komari
    Holding hands and stuff is normal.
[06:27] Komari
    E-Even at school, they're a-always together.
[06:32] Nukumizu
    But it's kind of different
    when we're not at school.
[06:36] Nukumizu
    Outside, it's like they're
    in an unfamiliar world.
[06:40] Nukumizu
    Like they've found their own
    special place to be together.
[06:45] Couple Girl
    Hey, there's one more place
    I wanna check out. That okay?
[06:48] Couple Boy
    Sure.
[06:51] Komari
    D-Don't get me wrong. I-I didn't hide
     because they were together.
[06:58] Komari
    I-It's because in f-first term,
    I would've been with them.
[07:03] Komari
    I-I'm sad that I can't join them anymore.
[07:09] Komari
    Wh-When I joined the club in April,
    th-they were both really nice to me.
[07:14] Komari
    In c-class, I didn't have any friends.
    They spent a bunch of time with me.
[07:20] Komari
    Th-That was the first time
    I'd ever thought school was fun.

[07:25] Komari

[07:36] Komari
    Y-Yeah.
[07:38] Nukumizu
    And I don't think the prez
    is trying to avoid you at all.
[07:41] Komari
    I know. B-But if I hadn't asked him out, maybe
    we th-three could've spent more time together.
[07:53] Komari
    O-Once Tsuwabuki Fest is over,
     they'll both go away,
[07:57] Komari
    s-so I have to be able to get by on my own.

[18:45] Anna
    Hey there.
[18:46] Anna
    Wow, things are looking good here.
[18:49] Nukumizu
    That's the research report on Dazai.
[18:52] Nukumizu
    It draws from the short story "Cherries"
[18:54] Nukumizu
    and takes a look at Dazai's friendships and
     his views on family. It's pretty interesting.
[18:59] Anna
    "Cherries" as in the fruit?
[19:03] Anna
    I've never read it, but judging from
    the title, I bet it's a really cute story.
[19:06] Nukumizu
    Well, pretty much. Basically,
    the protagonist runs out on his family
[19:10] Nukumizu
    and heads to a bar to see some woman.
[19:12] Anna
    That isn't exactly what I imagined.
[19:19] Anna
    I sure love the smell of tatami mats.
[19:22] Anna
    Come on, sit down.
    I'll give you one. Let's eat together.
[19:27] Nukumizu
    You're giving me something?
    Um, does that mean...
[19:30] Nukumizu
    You're giving me something to eat?!
[19:32] Anna
    Uh, yeah? Why'd you say that twice?
[19:41] Anna
    This really is cool, though.
[19:44] Nukumizu
    Yeah. I didn't expect the
    exhibit to turn out so fancy.
[19:49] Anna
    This whole thing is like
    Komari-chan's love letter, you know.
[19:53] Nukumizu
    I guess that's one way to see it.
[19:55] Anna
    You don't see it that way, Nukumizu-kun?
[19:58] Nukumizu
    I think this exhibit shows
    Komari's memories, her gratitude,
[20:03] Nukumizu
    and her dedication as club president.
[20:05] Nukumizu
    It's all of that stuff packed in together.
[20:08] Anna
    Okay.
[20:10] Nukumizu
    I don't want to see it
    as something depressing.
[20:16] Anna
    I think I kind of understand
    Komari-chan's feelings, though.
[20:21] Anna
    Komari-chan really treasures
    the literature club and her senpai.
[20:26] Anna
    But she was ready to let go of those treasures.
[20:31] Anna
    She was prepared for that when she
    confessed her feelings that night at camp.
[20:36] Anna
    Once she settled down, she said she
    had completely given up on him,
[20:40] Anna
    but when you like someone that much,
    those feelings don't just disappear.
[20:45] Anna
    Sometimes, you can't tell someone you
    like them, and you don't know what to do,
[20:51] Anna
    but you still want to find a way
     to let those feelings out.
[20:54] Anna
    That's why Komari-chan writes,
    and why Lemon-chan runs.
[21:01] Anna
    And Komari-chan... What else
    could she do? It's because she's a girl.
[21:06] Nukumizu
    Because she's a girl?
[21:07] Anna
    Yeah. She needs to spit those feelings out
    and force herself to move on, even if it's hard,
[21:13] Anna
    so that she can be ready to fall in love again.
[21:16] Nukumizu
    Has Komari found another boy she likes?
[21:18] Anna
    Who knows? But she sure is cute.
[21:22] Anna
    Nukumizu-kun, if you keep dragging
    your feet, you might get left behind.
[21:26] Nukumizu
    And what about you, Yanami-san?
[21:28] Nukumizu
    You know. The guy in the Shinsengumi costume.
[21:31] Nukumizu
    I think that guy has a thing for you.
[21:35] Anna
    Are you a tiny bit jealous? Seriously?
[21:37] Nukumizu
    What? No!
[21:38] Anna
    Oh, gosh. You'd be so heartbroken
     if I got a boyfriend!
[21:42] Anna
    Nukumizu-kun, you're kind of a sweetie.
[21:46] Nukumizu
    Hey, that one's mine.
