[00:01] Shidou
    So answer me truthfully.
[00:02] Shidou
    What did you do to her?
[00:04] Masamune
    Huh?
[00:05] Shidou
    I know you came to the apartment
    by yourself yesterday.
[00:12] Aki
    Yesterday?
[00:18] Masamune
    I declined.
[00:19] Masamune
    I formally told her that
    I couldn't go out with her.
[00:23] Masamune
    Because I was going to choose Adagaki Aki.
SIGN    #9 "It's Been Called Love and Affection"
[00:32] Aki
    Anyway, if she's missing, let's look for her.
[00:34] Aki
    Can't you use GPS?
[00:36] Shidou
    She left without her cell phone
    and wallet, so we can't track her.
[00:39] Masamune
    Did they just ignore me?!
[00:41] Aki
    I see. Then she probably
    couldn't have gotten far.
[00:45] Aki
    We might be able to find her if we split up.
[00:47] Aki
    You'll all help, won't you?
[00:49] Both
    Of course!
[00:50] Aki
    Shidou-san, will you take
    us closer to the apartment?
[00:54] Shidou
    Yes. Please get in.
[00:59] Aki
    Those who can't fit in
    the car, go with Makabe.
[01:03] Aki
    Since he seems to know where it is.
[01:07] Tae
    I guess I'll go in the car...
[01:09] Kojuurou
    M-Me, too.
[01:10] Masamune
    I...
[01:11] Yoshino
    I didn't know you went to her apartment.
[01:15] Masamune
    Y-You said to speed things up, right?
[01:18] Yoshino
    That's not what I meant when I said that.
[01:21] Aki
    Yoshino, hurry up.
[01:30] Masamune
    No comment to the very end?
[01:33] Masamune
    Do I really matter so little?
[01:39] Masamune
    Damn it! Don't think about that now.
[01:42] Masamune
    Jeez...
[01:44] Masamune
    Where did that commando princess go?
[01:50] Kojuurou
    But exactly how are we
    supposed to find her?
[01:54] Kojuurou
    We don't have any clues.
[01:56] Tae
    But in addition to her weak constitution,
[01:59] ---
    she doesn't have her wallet, right?
[02:01] Tae
    Which means...
[02:13] Tae
    It'll be within walking
    distance of the apartment,
[02:15] Tae
    and somewhere she can stay cool
    for free. That's important.
[02:23] Yoshino
    Yeah... I looked around everywhere
    that seemed like it'd be cool,
[02:26] ---
    but she wasn't there.
[02:28] Masamune
    I see. Got it.
[02:30] Masamune
    Huh?
[02:31] ---
    No, let's not look in the pond just yet.
[02:35] Masamune
    Yeah, I'd like to presume
    that she's still alive.
[02:40] Masamune
    Then the only place left is...
[02:47] Masamune
    If she's not here, I'm out of ideas.
[02:56] Aki
    Makabe?
[02:59] Masamune
    A mirage?
[03:03] Masamune
    Oh, wait. She's real.
[03:05] Aki
    What in the world are you babbling about?
[03:08] Masamune
    A condescending tone and a flat chest.
[03:11] ---
    Definitely Adagaki Aki.
[03:16] Aki
    You thought she might be at school, too?
[03:22] Aki
    What?
[03:23] Masamune
    N-Nothing.
[03:25] Masamune
    She may be aggravating, but it
    seems we had the same idea.
[03:33] Masamune
    She usually traveled by car,
[03:36] ---
    so I thought this was about the only place
    she could go without really knowing the area.
[03:40] Aki
    Well, it was a miss.
[03:43] ---
    I went everywhere that had a roof, but...
[03:47] Aki
    Where should we look next?
[03:51] Masamune
    Adagaki-san, I thought you
    didn't like Fujinomiya-san.
[03:55] Aki
    Huh?
[03:56] Masamune
    Er, sorry. I was just kinda surprised...
[03:59] ---
    I guess I didn't think you'd go this far.
[04:03] Aki
    I don't like her, even now.
[04:06] ---
    That perverted catgirl...
[04:09] Aki
    It's just... I feel bad for her
    since you rejected her.
[04:16] Aki
    Having someone you like look the other way
[04:19] Aki
    is a very sad thing.
[04:23] Masamune
    How am I...
[04:24] Masamune
    supposed to take what she just said?
[04:29] Masamune
    If that's what you think,
    why do you do that yourself?
[04:33] Masamune
    You give any guy who tries to get close to
    you awful nicknames and push them away.
[04:37] Masamune
    Do you think guys don't
    have feelings or something?
[04:41] Masamune
    Even for me...
[04:45] Masamune
    Suddenly having my feelings
    thrown back in my face,
[04:48] Masamune
    and then getting them stomped on...
[04:55] Aki
    So I just didn't want her to wallow
    in self-torment about it anymore...
[05:00] Aki
    Makabe?
[05:01] Masamune
    Adagaki-san...
[05:05] Masamune
    Do you happen to remember
    the nickname "Pig's Foot"?
[05:12] Masamune
    I want so badly to tell you right now...
[05:15] Masamune
    that I was the "Pig's Foot"
    you rejected that one time.
[05:21] Aki
    Pig's Foot?
[05:24] Masamune
    Ow!
[05:28] Masamune
    A paper airplane? Where did it...
[05:37] Masamune
    The roof...
[05:41] (Flashback) Neko
    After I spotted it in your room,
[05:43] (Flashback) Neko
    I became curious and had
    Shidou purchase them.
[05:46] (Flashback) Neko
    I've read volume three so many times!
[05:50] Aki
    Hey!
[05:52] Masamune
    She said that she was reading
    "Rose-eyed Steroid."
[06:01] Masamune
    It's right around when the heroine gets
    rejected by her beloved senpai...
[06:06] (Flashback) Neko
    That scene on the roof was just...
[06:12] Momo
    What I have in my hands
[06:15] ---
    are love letters that have
    lost their destination.
[06:19] Momo
    Give it up, Momo...
[06:23] Momo
    Senpai has someone else he likes.
[06:30] Momo
    Goodbye,
[06:33] ---
    Senpai.
[06:38] (Flashback) Eiji
    What the hell are you doing up here?
[06:41] Momo
    Huh?
[06:43] Momo
    That voice... It couldn't be...
[06:46] Masamune
    What the hell are you doing up here?
[06:55] Neko
    I had a feeling that you would come.
[07:03] Masamune
    You mentioned that you
    liked the rooftop scene
[07:07] Masamune
    in "Rose-eyed Steroid" volume 3.
[07:12] Masamune
    But don't do this.
[07:14] Masamune
    You don't have the strength to do
    the same thing Momo did, do you?
[07:18] Neko
    Yes. I think I realize that now.
[07:26] Masamune
    Hey—
[07:27] Masamune
    Are you all right? Hey! Hey!
[07:29] Aki
    Makabe! What happened?
[07:32] Masamune
    Adagaki-san! Contact Shidou-san!
[07:35] Aki
    A-All right.
[07:40] Masamune
    Why do this to yourself?
SIGN    I love you.
[07:58] Kojuurou
    I wonder if she's okay.
[08:01] Tae
    Shidou-san.
[08:03] Tae
    How's Fujinomiya-san?
[08:05] Shidou
    She seems to be stable.
[08:06] Both
    Thank goodness.
[08:08] Shidou
    Adagaki Aki-san.
[08:11] Shidou
    Neko-sama would like to speak to you.
[08:15] Aki
    To me?
[08:17] Shidou
    She is extremely exhausted.
[08:19] ---
    If you can, please keep it short.
[08:22] Aki
    R-Right...
[08:28] Yoshino
    This feels like a final farewell.
[08:31] Kojuurou
    Don't say that, Koiwai-san!
[08:33] Tae
    Now, now. She just said she was fine.
[08:38] Masamune
    I wasn't wrong, was I?
[08:42] Masamune
    It's true that my heart wavered.
[08:44] Masamune
    But it didn't feel right, so I pushed her away.
[08:50] Masamune
    For my plan... For my revenge.
[08:54] Masamune
    Even if I had given her a more
    favorable answer in this situation,
[08:57] ---
    nothing would've come of it.
[09:00] Masamune
    I shouldn't be wrong.
[09:03] Masamune
    Damn it.
[09:05] Masamune
    I...
[09:07] Aki
    Makabe.
[09:12] Aki
    Apparently, you're next.
[09:15] Masamune
    Me?
[09:18] Masamune
    What did they talk about?
[09:21] ---
    There's no way I can ask
    her about that now.
SIGN    Fujinomiya Neko
[09:24] Neko
    Come in.
[09:34] Masamune
    Fujinomiya-san...
[09:39] Neko
    Let's talk about the past,
[09:43] Neko
    Masamune-sama.
[09:47] Neko
    Being alive is a wonderful thing.
[09:51] Neko
    That's why I didn't really
    feel any discontent.
SIGN    Seichou Girls' Private Academy
[09:58] (Flashback) GirlA
    Fujinomiya-sama!
[09:58] (Flashback) GirlB
    Neko-sama!
[09:58] (Flashback) GirlC
    Onee-sama!
[10:00] (Flashback) GirlA
    That was a lovely student
    council speech you gave.
[10:04] (Flashback) GirlB
    I was so moved.
[10:07] (Flashback) Neko
    Thank you very much.
[10:08] (Flashback) GirlC
    U-Um, Onee-sama... If it's all right,
[10:14] (Flashback) GirlC
    would you like to come to my
    family's villa this weekend?
[10:18] (Flashback) Neko
    Yours?
[10:19] (Flashback) GirlC
    It's my birthday.
[10:21] (Flashback) ---
    If you were to celebrate
    it with me, I would...
[10:25] Neko
    My kouhai are all so sweet.
[10:29] Neko
    They're such good girls.
[10:32] (Flashback) Neko
    If you would have me, I would be happy to.
[10:36] (Flashback) GirlC
    Thank you so much!
[10:37] (Flashback) GirlC
    There's a riding ground for
    horses and a tennis court,
[10:40] (Flashback) ---
    so would you like to join
    me before the party?
[10:44] (Flashback) GirlC
    Huh?
[10:46] (Flashback) GirlA
    What are you thinking, asking
    Neko-sama to play tennis?
[10:49] (Flashback) GirlA
    She's so frail!
[10:52] (Flashback) GirlC
    I'm so sorry! I didn't know.
[10:56] (Flashback) GirlB
    It's common knowledge.
[10:58] (Flashback) ---
    I can't believe you'd try to get closer to
    Neko-sama when you don't know that.
[11:02] (Flashback) GirlC
    What should I do?
[11:03] (Flashback) GirlB
    What should you do?
[11:04] (Flashback) GirlA
    Figure it out.
[11:05] (Flashback) Neko
    It's fine, everyone.
[11:06] ---
    Oh...
[11:08] Neko
    What a silly story.
[11:12] (Flashback) Neko
    Surgery? Overseas?
SIGN    Fujinomiya
[11:17] (Flashback) Neko's Grandfather
    If nothing is done, your
    condition will only worsen.
[11:20] (Flashback) Neko's Grandfather
    Will you consider trying it?
[11:22] (Flashback) Neko
    How promising is this prospect?
[11:27] (Flashback) Neko's Grandfather
    No, sorry.
[11:29] (Flashback) ---
    Please forget that I ever mentioned it.
[11:33] (Flashback) Neko
    It's fine, Grandfather.
    I don't mind trying it.
[11:38] (Flashback) Neko's Grandfather
    I see.
[11:39] (Flashback) Neko
    But I just have one request...
[11:43] (Flashback) Neko's Grandfather
    What is it?
[11:45] (Flashback) Neko
    I...
[11:48] (Flashback) Neko
    would like to fall in love.
[11:56] Neko
    When this all became a
    life-or-death situation,
[12:00] Neko
    rather than the usual worries or
    fears most people would have,
[12:04] Neko
    I realized that there was no hope.
[12:11] Neko
    I wanted to experience love, at least.
[12:19] Masamune
    But why me?
[12:22] Neko
    Who knows?
[12:25] Neko
    I just randomly picked your photo
    out of the mountain of photos
[12:28] ---
    I had for potential suitors.
[12:30] Masamune
    Randomly?!
[12:32] Neko
    Yes.
[12:32] Masamune
    Was it a lottery?!
[12:34] Neko
    You could call it that.
[12:36] Masamune
    Also, I never heard anything
    about being a potential suitor!
[12:38] Neko
    It's not uncommon among prestigious families
[12:40] ---
    for this to happen to the children,
    unbeknownst to them, is it?
[12:45] (Flashback) Kinue
    Look, look! Hasn't my
    Maa-kun become so handsome?
[12:50] Masamune
    Was it that old hag?!
[12:54] Masamune
    If that's why, there's no way we could've
    found out anything by researching.
[12:58] Neko
    Yoshino-san is very efficient,
[13:01] ---
    but she couldn't trace the
    thoughts of a sickly person.
[13:06] Masamune
    So you knew.
[13:08] Masamune
    So, how did it feel to try it?
[13:11] Neko
    Well...
[13:14] Neko
    The trial and error was fun,
[13:17] ---
    and I thought you and I were exactly alike.
[13:21] Masamune
    You and I?
[13:22] Neko
    Yes. You talk about love and affection
    for the purpose of your goal,
[13:29] Neko
    but the truth is hidden in fog.
[13:31] Neko
    Shallow and empty...
[13:35] Neko
    In the end, the lie was discovered,
    and my feelings didn't reach.
[13:43] Neko
    But I don't have any regrets.
[13:47] Masamune
    Huh?
[13:48] Neko
    I went into everything superficially,
[13:51] Neko
    but the fluttery feeling of one-sided love...
[13:55] Neko
    The pain of being rejected...
[13:58] Neko
    I was able to experience them firsthand.
[14:08] Neko
    Masamune-sama, what about you?
[14:14] Neko
    Will you keep walking
    down the same path as me?
[14:18] Masamune
    I...
[14:21] Neko
    Will you reach the same point I have?
[14:23] Masamune
    No!
[14:25] Neko
    Really?
[14:32] Neko
    I hope that is the case.
[14:37] Neko
    I must say it's rather
    exhausting to talk this long.
[14:41] Masamune
    Are you okay?
[14:43] Neko
    When I regain my strength,
    I believe I will be going far away.
[14:48] Neko
    So, Masamune-sama...
[14:52] Neko
    Thank you very much for the lovely memories.
[15:01] Tae
    I wonder what Masamune-kun and
    Fujinomiya-san are talking about.
[15:08] Tae
    To tell you the truth, I actually
    liked Masamune-kun, too.
[15:15] Tae
    Are you surprised?
[15:16] Yoshino
    A little.
[15:18] Yoshino
    Did you really think it wasn't obvious?
    That's what surprised me.
[15:22] Tae
    I sometimes think I might
    regret not telling him,
[15:29] Tae
    but I think it was better
    to keep my feelings inside.
[15:33] Tae
    I'm able to hang out with you all now.
[15:36] ---
    I hope that wasn't the
    case for Fujinomiya-san.
[15:39] Yoshino
    Yeah, sure.
[15:42] Kojuurou
    I-Is it okay that I'm here?
[15:45] Tae
    Masamune-kun likes Adagaki-san, right?
[15:50] Tae
    I wonder how Adagaki-san feels.
[15:59] Yoshino
    Looks like her stomach's reached its limit.
[16:02] Tae
    Huh?
[16:04] Yoshino
    She's sad that she has to hold back.
[16:07] Tae
    Oh, right. Yeah, I totally get that.
[16:09] ---
    Love can be so sad.
[16:12] Yoshino
    That's not what I meant.
[16:16] Yoshino
    But...
[16:17] Yoshino
    That might also be the case to some degree.
[16:22] Tae
    Masamune-kun!
[16:27] Aki
    Um... Makabe...
[16:39] Shidou
    Milady.
[16:41] Neko
    Shidou.
[16:43] Shidou
    It appears that your classmates
    have left the hospital.
[16:48] Neko
    I see. Thank you for informing me.
[17:03] Shidou
    I realize I may be out of line,
[17:06] ---
    but are you sure you want to let him go?
[17:10] Neko
    This is fine.
[17:13] Neko
    What Masamune-sama said is the truth.
[17:18] Neko
    And...
[17:20] ---
    It's true that he made me remember.
[17:25] [SONG] Sign
    Wedding Party
[17:27] (Flashback) Neko's mother
    Neko.
[17:28] (Flashback) Kinue
    Maa-kun, we're going to take a picture!
[17:31] (Flashback) Neko's mother
    My, they're so adorable.
[17:33] (Flashback) Kinue
    These two sort of look alike, don't they?
[17:36] (Flashback) Cameraman
    All right, here we go.
[18:02] (Flashback) Neko
    I thought you and I were exactly alike.
[18:06] (Flashback) Neko
    You talk about love and affection
    for the purpose of your goal,
[18:10] (Flashback) ---
    but the truth is hidden in fog.
[18:13] (Flashback) Neko
    Shallow and empty...
[18:17] (Flashback) Neko
    In the end, the lie was discovered,
    and my feelings didn't reach.
[18:23] Masamune
    Lies will be discovered...
[18:26] Masamune
    That's right...
[18:28] ---
    I thought something was strange,
    so I couldn't trust you.
[18:34] Masamune
    So that's...
[18:39] Masamune
    what I'll look like in the future?
[18:41] (Flashback) Neko
    Will you keep walking
    down the same path as me?
[18:46] Masamune
    Damn it. Damn it!
[18:48] ---
    What am I so worried about?
[18:50] Masamune
    Don't think about unnecessary things!
[18:52] Masamune
    I'm not going to waver now!
[18:54] Masamune
    I'm going to make Adagaki Aki look my way,
[18:57] Masamune
    and then...
[18:58] Masamune
    I'll throw her away in the best way possible.
[19:10] Narino
    Are you heading out, milady?
[19:13] Aki
    I'm just going out to the garden.
    I'm not going outside.
[19:17] Narino
    Okay. Have fun.
[19:26] (Flashback) Neko
    That should be enough.
[19:28] (Flashback) ---
    Please stop trying to act so tough.
[19:31] (Flashback) Aki
    Tough?
[19:32] (Flashback) Neko
    As you can see, I was completely
    and utterly rejected.
[19:38] (Flashback) Neko
    Masamune-sama is a sincere person.
[19:42] (Flashback) Neko
    What reason could you have
    to deny his love for you?
[19:49] Aki
    Love? It's not like love.
[19:56] Aki
    I mean, it's true.
[19:58] Aki
    The Commando Catgirl thing was a mistake,
    and there's no reason to get mad.
[20:02] Aki
    So... should I like him?
[20:10] Aki
    No.
[20:11] Aki
    No, no, no, no! That's not possible!
[20:13] Aki
    I mean, it's Makabe! That
    thoughtless, stupid man!
[20:17] Aki
    He says whatever sounds good
    whenever he opens his mouth.
[20:22] (Flashback) Young aki
    You're so pathetic, Masamune.
[20:25] (Flashback) Young Aki
    You need to straighten up more!
[20:27] (Flashback) Young Masamune
    I can't, Aki-chan!
[20:30] Aki
    That's right.
[20:33] Aki
    If you want to call something
    "love," that was love.
[20:38] Aki
    Those chubby little cheeks,
[20:40] Aki
    his tummy that had rolls worth tugging on...
[20:44] Aki
    He was so cute.
[20:49] Aki
    Who's there?!
[20:54] Kinue
    Maa-kun! Maa-kun's...
[20:59] Chinatsu
    What? Did something happen?
[21:01] Kinue
    Maa-kun's saying he's going to run away.
[21:05] ---
    Just like that one song!
[21:07] Chinatsu
    You're overreacting again.
[21:09] ---
    I'm sure he's just off to train
    by going jogging again.
[21:12] Masamune
    That's right.
[21:14] ---
    I'm going to retrain myself since
    I became naïve at some point.
[21:18] Masamune
    I'm going to carry out my original plan.
[21:21] Chinatsu
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[21:23] Kinue
    Sniffle.
[21:25] Masamune
    I'm going to get rid of any unneeded fat
[21:27] ---
    and build up some new muscles
    and ways of being hot.
[21:42] Gasou
    I'm sorry I scared you.
[21:44] Aki
    Who are you?
[21:45] Gasou
    I wonder who I could be.
    Why don't you guess?
[21:50] Aki
    Could you actually be...
[21:59] Aki
    Masamune?
[22:02] Gasou
    Hey, it's been a while, Aki-chan.
[22:05] Gasou
    I'm back.
