**[00:15] Nishimura**
*After seeing what we did at the park...*
**[00:18] Nishimura**
*for some reason, Takada-kun and I
couldn't talk to each other like normal.*
**[00:31] Hino**
Yay!
**[00:36] Group**
Merry Christmas!
**[00:37] Hino**
Yay!
**[00:39] Group**
Merry Christmas...
**[00:41] Kasahara**
*How gloomy!*
**[00:42] Hino**
Ooh, meat!
**[00:45] Adachi**
It looks great!
**[00:47] Hino**
Good chicken...
**[00:48] Kasahara**
H-Hey, Adachi-san.
**[00:50] Kasahara**
Those two have been acting like
this ever since they got back.
**[00:54] Kasahara**
Isn't something weird here?
**[00:56] Adachi**
Y-Yeah.
**[00:58] Adachi**
They seemed normal when we called
while they were out shopping, though.
**[01:05] Kasahara**
*Seriously, what's gotten into them?*
**[01:08] Kasahara**
*Just when I've graced
them with my presence...*
**[01:11] Adachi**
*This bizarre atmosphere...*
**[01:13] Adachi**
*How can we fix it?*
**[01:16] Hino**
Hey, everyone, don't you think it's
about time for you-know-what?
**[01:20] Adachi**
"You-know-what"?
**[01:21] Hino**
The gift exchange!
**[01:27] Group**
That's it!
**[01:29] Hino**
Th-That's what?
**[01:32] Adachi**
*Good job, Dai-chan!
Totally ignoring the mood!*

Episode 12 "The Christmas Party Confession"
**[03:13] Group**
Ready, and...
**[03:17] Hino**
Yay!
**[03:21] Adachi**
All right, Takada-kun, you can pick
whichever present you want first.
**[03:25] Takada**
Okay!
**[03:26] Takada**
Let me see...
**[03:29] Takada**
I pick this one!
**[03:31] Hino**
You're fine with that tiny present?
**[03:34] Takada**
In video games, the smaller ones have
a better chance of being rare items!
**[03:40] Takada**
Ta-da!
**[03:41] Takada**
L-Lipstick?
**[03:45] Kasahara**
That one was mine.
**[03:46] Kasahara**
It's lip balm!
**[03:48] Takada**
Huh, so it's lip balm...
**[03:51] Kasahara**
The air gets so dry in the winter.
**[03:54] Kasahara**
You don't seem like the type
to care about your lips,
**[03:58] Kasahara**
but boys should take good care of them, too!
**[04:08] Takada**
Hey, even I care about my lips...
**[04:14] Hino**
I'll pick this. Huh, it's making a sound.
**[04:15] Adachi**
I think I'll take this one.
**[04:16] Nishimura**
*Looks like Takada-kun's still thinking
about seeing Kasumi-oneesan kissing...*
**[04:23] Adachi**
Ah, these stick-on mustaches
must be from Takada-kun!
**[04:25] Sign**
Stick-on Mustaches
**[04:26] Takada**
Oh, yeah! That's right!
**[04:29] Adachi**
I figured.
**[04:31] Adachi**
Why don't I try one on right now, then?
**[04:34] Adachi**
Ehem!
**[04:36] Hino**
Whoa! It's nighttime all of a sudden!
**[04:41] Hino**
What do you think?
**[04:42] Takada**
You look so awesome, Hino-kun!
**[04:44] Adachi**
Th-That was mine...
**[04:47] Adachi**
Th-They look great on you, Dai-chan!
**[04:50] Hino**
They're perfect with my tank top!
**[04:53] Hino**
Thanks, Umi!
**[04:54] Adachi**
S-Sure!
**[04:56] Nishimura**
*Good for you, Umi-chan.*
**[05:02] Nishimura**
Oh, th-that one was from me.
**[05:06] Kasahara**
I thought it might be.
**[05:08] Kasahara**
You seem surprisingly
discerning about clothes.
**[05:12] Nishimura**
O-Oh, no, you must be imagining it.
**[05:15] Nishimura**
It's just a discount scarf
I could afford on my allowance.
**[05:19] Kasahara**
Hmm.
**[05:20] Kasahara**
Well, you've got a decent eye for fashion.
**[05:24] Kasahara**
Thanks.
**[05:33] Nishimura**
I-I should thank you, as well.
**[05:37] Nishimura**
For everything during field day...
**[05:40] Kasahara**
Well, yeah!
**[05:46] Nishimura**
Kasahara-san?!
**[05:49] Kasahara**
Getting called "Kasahara the Swift" was
really embarrassing, for the record!
**[05:55] Kasahara**
You'll be making up for that today!
**[05:58] Nishimura**
M-Making up for it?
**[06:01] Nishimura**
*This* is *juice, right?
**[06:05] Kasahara**
It turned into a huge deal.
**[06:07] Kasahara**
The girls in the grades below
us even started a fan club!
**[06:12] Nishimura**
Unbelievable.
**[06:14] Kasahara**
You're the unbelievable one!
**[06:16] Kasahara**
I can't believe you invited
me to this party.
**[06:20] Kasahara**
Wait, you're not playing dumb?
**[06:24] Kasahara**
I think Takada-kun's slowly
rubbing off on you.
**[06:27] Nishimura**
Huh? Th-That can't be!
**[06:29] Kasahara**
Wait, that's the part you blush over?
**[06:31] Kasahara**
Something really *did* happen
with you two earlier!
**[06:35] Nishimura**
H-Huh? L-L-Like what...?
**[06:38] Kasahara**
I mean, Takada-kun's been acting weird, too!
**[06:39] Hino**
Try these on too, Takada!
**[06:40] Kasahara**
You two haven't talked since you got back.
You won't even look at each other.
**[06:41] Takada**
Wh-Wh-What?
**[06:45] Kasahara**
You two are never like that!
**[06:53] Nishimura**
*Takada-kun...*
**[06:55] Kasahara**
See? Something's totally up!
**[06:57] Kasahara**
Seriously, what's your deal?!
**[06:59] Adachi**
Come now, Kasahara-san!
**[07:14] Nishimura**
Are you okay?
**[07:17] Takada**
Nishimura-san?
**[07:19] Nishimura**
You've been acting strange ever
since we were out shopping.
**[07:25] Takada**
You could tell?
**[07:27] Nishimura**
Yeah, pretty much.
**[07:31] Takada**
You know, Nishimura-san...
**[07:34] Takada**
I like you.
**[07:41] Takada**
I'm not sure how it's different
from the way I like Hino-kun,
**[07:46] Takada**
Adachi-san, Kasahara-san, or the others...
**[07:53] Takada**
But I can tell it's not really the same thing.
**[07:59] Takada**
Can I... Right now, can I...
**[08:03] Takada**
Can I kiss you, Nishimura-san?
**[08:33] Nishimura**
Y-You can't do that, Takada-kun!
**[08:37] Nishimura**
You can't...
**[08:40] Nishimura**
The person you k-kiss someday...
**[08:45] Nishimura**
It might be me...
**[08:47] Nishimura**
It might be someone else.
**[08:50] Nishimura**
But... no matter who it is...
**[08:53] Nishimura**
I think it should be someone you
really want to kiss deep down inside.
**[09:02] Takada**
But you're the one I really
want to kiss deep down inside.
**[09:26] Kasahara**
Hey now!
**[09:28] Kasahara**
Don't run off to have
private conversations like that!
**[09:33] Kasahara**
Something's fishy...
**[09:35] Adachi**
K-Kasahara-san!
**[09:36] Kasahara**
Takada-kun!
**[09:38] Kasahara**
Get in here and have a drink with me!
**[09:40] Kasahara**
Yay!
**[09:41] Takada**
Y-Yeah!
**[09:42] Takada**
I'll be right there!
**[09:44] Kasahara**
You'd better!
**[09:45] Kasahara**
It had better be this instant!
**[09:47] Adachi**
Okay, that's enough.
**[09:49] Adachi**
Hey, you've been drinking too much!
**[09:50] Nishimura**
That... really is just juice, right?
**[09:51] Kasahara**
Adachi-san, you haven't
been drinking at all!
**[09:53] Kasahara**
C'mon, drink up!
**[09:53] Takada**
Yeah. I think, anyway.
**[09:57] Takada**
Let's go back inside!
**[09:58] Nishimura**
S-Sure.
**[10:00] Takada**
We can talk about this again
some other time, Nishimura-san.
**[10:07] Hino**
Takada! Yay!
**[10:07] Takada**
I want some sparkling cider, too!
**[10:08] Nishimura**
*Takada-kun doesn't know what's different
about how he likes me versus everyone else.*
**[10:14] Takada**
*Can I kiss you, Nishimura-san?*
**[10:21] Nishimura**
*So that might have just been him
coming on strong like usual.*
**[10:27] Nishimura**
*It has to be.*
**[10:29] Nishimura**
*After all, if it wasn't...*
**[10:34] Nishimura**
*My racing heart might make me lose all reason.*
**[10:41] Adachi**
Akane-chan, what was in the gift you got?
**[10:45] Nishimura**
Um... good question.
**[10:53] Nishimura**
A t-tank top...
**[10:57] Adachi**
Oh, that's so nice!
**[10:59] Takada**
How cool!
**[11:01] Nishimura**
Y-Yeah...
**[11:06] Adachi**
I would have loved to get
a present from Dai-chan!
**[11:10] Adachi**
J-Just kidding!
**[11:14] Adachi**
A-Ah, I'm not saying I didn't
like your mustaches!
**[11:19] Takada**
I should have gotten some
cooler-looking mustaches!
**[11:23] Kasahara**
H-Hey, Nishimura-san.
**[11:25] Kasahara**
It surprised me, but is
Adachi-san into... well, *that*?
**[11:30] Nishimura**
Huh? "That"?
**[11:32] Nishimura**
I don't think it's much of a surprise...
**[11:34] Kasahara**
What?! It totally is!
It's completely left field!
**[11:38] Takada**
Hey, Nishimura-san, try it on!
**[11:40] Takada**
I'm sure you'll look super cool!
**[11:42] Nishimura**
Huh? I-I don't know about that...
**[11:46] Sign**
My Clueless First Friend
**[11:47] Kasahara**
So you're into the sporty look, huh?
**[11:56] Sign**
Yukiko-san
**[11:56] Sign**
I'm on my way now with Mom and Taiyou! Just sit tight!
**[11:56] Yukiko**
* I'm on my way now with Mom*
* and Taiyou! Just sit tight!*
**[12:05] Nishimura**
* I think it should be someone you*
* really want to kiss deep down inside.*
**[12:14] Takada**
* But you're the one I really*
* want to kiss deep down inside.*
**[12:22] Nishimura**
*How am I supposed to face Takada-kun
after he told me that?*
**[12:28] Akane's Father**
What's wrong, Akane?
**[12:31] Nishimura**
N-Nothing at all!
**[12:33] Akane's Father**
Do you have everything ready?
**[12:35] Akane's Father**
Make sure you dress nice and warm.
**[12:39] Nishimura**
Y-Yeah.
**[12:43] Takada**
Happy New Year, Nishimura-san!
**[12:46] Takada**
Let's make it a good one!
**[12:49] Nishimura**
*H-He's his usual self.*
**[12:52] Taiyou's Mother**
What's the matter, Akane-chan?
**[12:54] Nishimura**
I-It's nothing.
**[12:56] Nishimura**
A happy New Year to you all.
**[12:58] Group**
You, too!
**[13:00] Sign**
Nishimura
**[13:00] Takada**
Whoa, kadomatsu! Amazing!
**[13:04] Nishimura**
*So that was just Takada-kun being
his usual outgoing self back then...*
**[13:10] Nishimura**
*I feel so embarrassed for letting
it get to me like that!*
**[13:15] Takada**
Okay, let's go, Nishimura-san!
**[13:18] Takada**
New Year's shrine visit time!
**[13:21] Akane's Father**
Please keep an eye on her.
**[13:23] Taiyou's Mother**
Sure! You can leave her to us.
**[13:26] Nishimura**
*I-I can't help but feel self-conscious!*
**[13:33] Nishimura**
Wow, it sure is busy.
**[13:36] Takada**
Is it always this packed here?
**[13:39] Nishimura**
I'm not sure.
**[13:40] Nishimura**
When I visit shrines on New Year's with Dad,
it's after the crowds have thinned out.
**[13:49] Nishimura**
Oh, Umi-chan says they'll be here soon.
**[13:53] Taiyou's Mother**
Phew, it's freezing!
**[13:55] Taiyou's Mother**
I could go for some sweet sake!
**[13:58] Takada**
Sweet sake!
**[14:00] Takada**
Ooh, ooh, I want sweet sake, too!
**[14:03] Takada**
The kind for kids!
**[14:05] Takada**
I want some! I want some!
**[14:07] Takada**
Sweet sake!
**[14:08] Taiyou's Mother**
I'm with you, Taiyou! Let's go right now!
**[14:12] Yukiko**
Wait, Mom!
**[14:14] Yukiko**
You sure you don't want to get
the shrine stuff done first?
**[14:16] Taiyou's Mother**
Huh? But I want sweet sake now!
**[14:19] Takada**
Yeah, yeah!
**[14:20] Yukiko**
That's not fair.
**[14:21] Group**
Yeah! Yeah!
**[14:22] Yukiko**
Why do I have to be the voice of reason?
**[14:25] Yukiko**
Do you want some sweet sake, as well?
**[14:28] Nishimura**
Huh? I...
**[14:30] Nishimura**
I-I want some, too.
**[14:32] Yukiko**
Then for me...
**[14:36] Yukiko**
I want red bean soup with mochi!
**[14:38] Takada**
Onee-chan, you're so awesome!
**[14:40] Taiyou's Mother**
Well then, I'll go buy some!
You kids stay here.
**[14:45] Yukiko**
Yukiko, you keep watch!
**[14:47] Group**
Off you go!
**[14:49] Taiyou's Mother**
Sweet, sweet... Sake, sake... Sweet sake...
**[14:50] Takada**
I can't wait, Nishimura-san!
**[14:52] Nishimura**
Yeah...
**[14:55] Takada**
Hmm? What is it?
**[14:57] Nishimura**
Oh, it's nothing.
**[15:01] Nishimura**
*He really is acting completely normal.*
**[15:03] Nishimura**
*I'm not sure why,
but it's comforting in a way.*
**[15:07] Nishimura**
Ah, I-I'm sorry.
**[15:09] Nishimura**
I was just thinking about
how excited you seem.
**[15:12] Takada**
Are you not excited, Nishimura-san?
**[15:14] Nishimura**
Th-That's not what I meant!
**[15:16] Nishimura**
I'm excited, as well!
**[15:18] Nishimura**
I've never been out with friends this late,
**[15:22] Nishimura**
so it's all very thrilling!
**[15:24] Yukiko**
You're right.
**[15:26] Yukiko**
It's not every day you get to be
out with friends at this hour.
**[15:30] Takada**
Oh, yeah! It's my first time, too.
**[15:32] Takada**
All thanks to you, Nishimura-san!
**[15:34] Nishimura**
Huh?
**[15:37] Takada**
Thanks as always, Nishimura-san.
**[15:39] Nishimura**
Y-You've got it backwards, Takada-kun.
**[15:42] Takada**
Huh?
**[15:43] Nishimura**
This past year has been full
of precious memories for me.
**[15:49] Nishimura**
I couldn't have dreamed of this a year ago.
**[15:54] Nishimura**
I was so happy to have a friend
ask me to walk home together.
**[15:59] Nishimura**
Seeing a friend cry in front of me,
which was sadder than crying myself...
**[16:05] Nishimura**
Sharing lunch boxes with friends
for the very first time...
**[16:10] Kasahara**
Giving it my very best
on field day like never before...
**[16:14] Nishimura**
Celebrating Christmas with a group
of friends for the first time...
**[16:19] Nishimura**
All of these firsts were moments
I shared with you.
**[16:25] Nishimura**
They were all thanks to you, Takada-kun!
**[16:33] Takada**
Really?
**[16:34] Takada**
Hearing that makes me happy!
**[16:37] Nishimura**
It's a little embarrassing to say out loud...
**[16:39] Takada**
Huh? You think so?
**[16:42] Takada**
I don't really get it.
**[16:46] Takada**
There's lots of things I don't get.
**[16:54] Takada**
Did you know?
**[16:56] Takada**
If you tell someone what you wish for
at your New Year's shrine visit,
**[17:00] Takada**
then it won't come true.
**[17:02] Takada**
So I hear you're not supposed to ask
other people about their wishes.
**[17:07] Takada**
But I get the feeling that we'll
both be wishing for the same thing.
**[17:13] Takada**
Since I'm sure that we
both share the same love!
**[17:18] Nishimura**
Me, too...
**[17:19] Nishimura**
I think it'd be nice if we wished
for the same thing, too.
**[17:26] Taiyou's Mother**
Hey, hey, hey!
**[17:28] Taiyou's Mother**
Drinks are here!
**[17:30] Taiyou's Mother**
Wait, why's your nose bleeding?
**[17:33] Yukiko**
Man, what a treat!
**[17:38] Hino**
Takada! Nishimura!
**[17:44] Hino**
HNY!
**[17:46] Adachi**
Happy New Year!
**[17:48] Group**
Happy New Year to you, too!
**[17:53] Nishimura**
*I wish I can enjoy another year of
having lots of fun with everyone.*
**[18:04] Takada**
Nishimura-san, what did you wish for?
**[18:06] Nishimura**
N-No, Takada-kun!
**[18:09] Nishimura**
You're asking already?
**[18:11] Takada**
Oh, yeah, I forgot!
**[18:14] Nishimura**
*I think this is the right answer for now,*
**[18:18] Nishimura**
*although I can't ask and know for sure.*
**[18:23] Takada**
My parents got me a phone!
**[18:25] Takada**
Let me get your contact info, Nishimura-san!
**[18:30] Taiyou's Mother**
Purely for safety reasons!
**[18:32] Taiyou's Mother**
It's set up so you can't play games on it.
**[18:35] Takada**
Okay, I get it!
**[18:38] Takada**
I'll make sure to send you lots of messages!
**[18:42] Takada**
Now we can talk even more about stuff!
**[18:47] Nishimura**
*He seems happy.*
**[18:49] Nishimura**
*Sounds like we wished for
the same thing... right?*
**[18:55] Nishimura**
*This must be more of Takada-kun's
usual forward self.*
**[19:00] Nishimura**
I'd love to talk more with you, as well.
**[19:04] Takada**
Then let's share contact info!
**[19:07] Nishimura**
Sure.
**[19:08] Nishimura**
*I get self-conscious when he's so forward...*
**[19:12] Nishimura**
*but it makes me happy.*

Happy New Year, Nishimura-san!!
**[19:17] Sign**
Takada-kun, you already said that to me lol
**[19:19] Sign**
Takada-kun

You're right! That's weird!! lol

My Clueless First Friend
**[19:22] Taiyou's Mother**
No more than thirty minutes
of phone time per day!
**[19:24] Takada**
What?!
**[19:29] Sign**
Changing Seats
**[19:30] Girl C**
Hey, hey! Did you hear we're changing seats?
**[19:32] Girl D**
Yeah, I totally did!
**[19:34] Girl E**
A boy and a girl who end up next to each
other twice in a row are fated to fall in love!
**[19:40] Kitagawa**
Ugh, I'm next to the Grim Reaper?
**[19:43] Kitagawa**
This sucks! I'm gonna end up cursed!
**[19:47] Nishimura**
*This time, I'm not next to Takada-kun.*
**[19:50] Adachi**
Sensei!
**[19:52] Adachi**
I can't see the blackboard, so can I switch
seats with the person in front of me?
**[19:57] Kurashiki**
Yeah, go ahead.
**[20:00] Adachi**
Hey, Akane-chan, are you okay with that?
**[20:03] Nishimura**
Huh? Yeah, of course.
**[20:06] Takada**
What?!
**[20:08] Takada**
Nishimura-san, you're next to me?!
**[20:11] Takada**
Aw yeah!
**[20:12] Kitagawa**
Don't sound so happy about it, Takada!
**[20:15] Kitagawa**
How many times are you two
gonna sit next to each other?!
**[20:19] Nishimura**
*This makes twice...*
**[20:21] Nishimura**
*We're neighbors twice in a row.*
**[20:23] Hino**
You two ended up together again?
**[20:25] Takada**
Yeah!
**[20:26] Nishimura**
*I'm sure Takada-kun doesn't
think anything of it.*
**[20:30] Takada**
This is the second time
in a row, Nishimura-san!
**[20:34] Nishimura**
Yeah, it is.
**[20:37] Nishimura**
*What did he mean by that?*
**[22:17] Takada**
Oh.
**[22:21] Takada**
You dropped your eraser.
**[22:24] Takada**
Here, Nishimura-san.
**[22:26] Nishimura**
Th-Thanks.
**[22:33] Nishimura**
Wh-What's the matter?
**[22:36] Takada**
Can we stay like this for a bit longer?
**[22:39] Nishimura**
Huh? Wh-Why?
**[22:42] Takada**
I want lots of your curse's power!
**[22:48] Nishimura**
S-Sure.
**[22:51] Nishimura**
*If someone were to see us now...*
**[22:54] Nishimura**
*I'm sure they would tease us again.*
**[22:58] Nishimura**
*But I bet Takada-kun...*
**[23:02] Nishimura**
*wouldn't let it get to him at all.*
**[23:06] Nishimura**
*He's so cool...*
**[23:10] Nishimura**
I wish I could be like you, Takada-kun.
**[23:15] Nishimura**
Huh? What's wrong?
**[23:18] Takada**
Well, I... felt something just now.
**[23:24] Takada**
Is this your curse power?
**[23:29] Nishimura**
Beats me.
**[23:34] Sign**
Next time...
