**[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.

**[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.

**[17:31] (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...*

*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.
