    Now that the sports festival is over,
[00:20] Koshitan
    I actually have time
    to admire the cherry blossoms.

    The seasons have changed,

    Might be about time to enjoy some cherry-
    blossom viewing in front of the clubhouse.
[00:38] Koshitan
    Good work, everyone.
[00:49] Koshitan
    What's wrong, Shikanoko?!
[00:51] Nokotan
    Oh, Koshitan.
[00:52] Koshitan
    Why are you crying? Did you get hurt?
[00:55] Koshitan
    Or are you hungry?
    We have plenty of deer crackers.
SIGN    Deer Crackers
[01:00] Nokotan
    I'm not even sad, but I just can't
    stop crying for some reason.
[01:07] Nokotan
    That's weird, right?
[01:09] Nokotan
    Maybe it's because it's spring.
[01:11] Koshitan
    Shikanoko... You...
[01:15] Koshitan
    You probably have allergies.
SIGN    Blame It on the Spring
[02:56] Nokotan
    Nah, nah, nah, nah.
[02:57] Nokotan
    What are you even talking about, Koshitan?
[03:00] Nokotan
    Did you happen to forget?
[03:02] Nokotan
    I am a deer!
[03:04] Nokotan
    I am Nokotan the deer!
[03:06] Nokotan
    Allergies only affect you humans!
[03:08] Nokotan
    There's no way they'd affect a deer like me!
[03:12] Koshitan
    The hell is that symptom?!
    Is that actually an allergy symptom?
[03:16] Nokotan
    It itches! Everything itches!
[03:39] Nokotan
    I just can't stop crying. But why?
[03:42] Koshitan
    I just told you. You have allergies.
[03:44] Nokotan
    Objection! It's absolutely not allergies!
[03:47] Nokotan
    Allergies could never bring a wild deer down!
[03:50] Koshitan
    Oh? So what do you think is causing this?
[03:52] Nokotan
    I think I have a cold!
[03:55] Koshitan
    Stop being so damn stubborn!
    Those aren't cold symptoms.

    So cute...
[04:13] Neko
    But lucky me! I can't believe I've
    happened upon this bizarre situation!
[04:16] Neko
    I'll use this opening to disband the Deer Club—

    It itches! It itches! It itches!

    And you like girly things, too!
[05:05] Koshitan
    What's that got to do with anything?
[05:07] Nokotan
    I can't go on with some human
    who doesn't understand this pain!
[05:10] Nokotan
    We're disbanding the Deer Club as of today!
[05:13] Koshitan
    Over something this trivial?!
[05:14] Narrator
    Their paths have diverged.
[05:16] Neko
    The Deer Club is disbanding?!

    why don't we go back to the student

    At least wash all that floof off of you.
[06:03] Koshitan
    I'll go get you a towel.
[06:09] Nokotan
    Ah, that feels so nice!
[06:13] Nokotan
    But it still feels itchy deep in my antlers.
[06:16] Koshitan
    Did you finish washing up?
[06:19] Nokotan
    Ah, I feel alive again.
[06:22] Koshitan
    What the hell am I witnessing
    right now? Yikes!

[06:55] Koshitan
    They're designed to keep
    pollen out of the eyes.

    That's what I need!

    from the swim team!

    Ooh.

    Yay! I don't itch anymore! Now I win!

    Koshitan, did you forget?
[08:32] Nokotan
    My antlers have a dynamite version, too.

    And I've shed a lot of antlers.
[08:43] Koshitan
    Don't tell me you...

    Now, let's have our lecturer
    perform a flower arrangement.
[11:31] Teacher
    Sensei, if you would.
[11:34] Koshitan
    Wha? Like she'd know anything
    about flower arrangement.
[11:38] Nokotan
    Very well.
[11:40] Koshitan
    What's this sudden atmosphere?

    Could she have some knack for it

    There's a thing called being too free!
[12:10] Girl 1
    That's so impressive, Nokotan-sensei!
[12:12] Girl 2
    Rather than flowers, she arranged her antlers!
[12:14] Girl 3
    What a wonderful idea!
[12:16] Koshitan
    So you agree.
    It's not a flower arrangement at all.
[12:50] Teacher
    I-I've never seen such technique!
[12:52] Koshitan
    What technique?!
[12:53] Girl 1
    Her flower-less arrangement
    was already impressive,
[12:55] Girl 1
    but with her bold new crumb-
    scattering idea on top of that...
[12:58] Girl 2
    This could change the history
    of flower arrangement forever!
[13:02] Girl 3
    It's a revolution in the
    flower-arrangement world!
[13:04] Koshitan
    Again, this isn't even
    flower arrangement anymore.
[13:08] Teacher
    I knew my eye for talent didn't fail me!
[13:16] (Flashback) Nokotan
    May a thousand antlers bloom!
[13:22] Teacher
    I still haven't forgotten how your artwork
    that day resonated with my very soul!
[13:27] Teacher
    Now, Nokotan-sensei, would you be so kind
    as to tell us the title of this piece?
[13:34] Nokotan
    "Tsuno to Shika."
[13:36] Narrator
    Sounds very similar to a Yonezu Kenshi
    song title from a while back.
[13:40] Teacher
    It's... It's just so deep!
[13:42] Koshitan
    How?! It's not deep!
    It's actually pretty damn shallow!
[13:45] Girl 1
    So this uses the deer crackers
    to represent the parched earth
[13:49] Girl 1
    and expresses the bond that was born
    from deer and humans living together.
[13:53] Girl 3
    It's genius!
[13:54] Girl 2
    This is amazing, Nokotan-sensei. I'm in awe.
[13:57] Koshitan
    You're seriously overthinking this.
[14:01] Teacher
    Now, let's have Nokotan-sensei
    observe all of your works.

[14:17] Girl 3
    Um... I tried to express the beauty
    of springtime with this piece.
[14:21] Teacher
    It's quite lovely. But I also
    feel like it lacks impact.
[14:27] Koshitan
    I mean, considering what you all just saw,
    everything's gonna lack impact.

    What do you think, Sensei?
[14:34] Nokotan
    Well...
[14:36] Nokotan
    Um, well, er, you know...
[14:38] Nokotan
    It needs better nutrition.

    Are you giving advice to some college freshman
    that just started living on their own?!
[14:43] Girl 3
    Oh, I see!
[14:44] Koshitan
    What exactly made sense there?!
[14:46] Nokotan
    All you need is a bit of wildness,
    cuteness, umami, and some antlers.
[14:49] Nokotan
    And a pinch of salt.
[14:51] Girl 3
    You're right! How did I not notice it before?
[14:55] Koshitan
    Is that necessary? No, really. Is any of
    that necessary for flower arrangement?
[14:59] Nokotan
    This is what you get once
    you add all those things.
[15:02] Koshitan
    So graphic!
[15:03] Koshitan
    Where'd the "beauty of spring" aspect go?!
[15:05] Koshitan
    Are we in a jungle?! Also, don't
    just add onto someone else's piece!
[15:10] Girl 3
    It's lovely!
[15:11] Koshitan
    Well, as long as she's happy.
[15:13] Nokotan
    And for the final touch...
[15:20] Koshitan
    Uh, why a guitar?! And do you have an
    extra-dimensional pocket in there?!
[15:46] Koshitan
    Uh... What even is this performance?

    Oh, dearie me. It's about
    time to leave school.

    Sensei—no, O God!
    Please continue tomorrow.

    Aw, now we have to start all over.
[19:54] Bashame
    But this isn't enough to keep Bashame down.

[20:17] Anko
    Hey, you two. Are you
    done planting your rice?
[20:21] Bashame
    Oh, Anko-chan.
[20:23] Bashame
    We just finished.
[20:26] Anko
    Wow, planting rice really is dirty work.
[20:29] Anko
    I'm glad I didn't help out after all.
[20:33] Bashame
    Rice balls!
[20:35] Anko
    Wow...
[20:42] Bashame
    Yummy!
[20:43] Bashame
    Your rice balls can easily
    get three stars, Anko-chan!
[20:47] Anko
    Well, I'm honored. Are you
    enjoying your meal, too?
[20:53] Bashame
    You're really nice, Anko-chan.
[20:56] Anko
    Not really. I'm just used
    to making packed lunches.
[20:59] Bashame
    Oh? So you make the
    packed lunches, Anko-chan?
[21:03] Anko
    Yeah, because my sister sucks at cooking.
[21:15] Bashame
    The rice planting's all done.
[21:19] Bashame
    What should we do next?
[21:34] Anko
    Since you're growing rice and all...
[21:37] Anko
    Why don't you pickle some plums?
[21:40] Bashame
    Anko-chan, that's...
[21:43] Anko
    genius!
[21:46] Anko
    Well, I guess we know what you're doing next.
[21:49] Bashame
    Yes!

[21:50] Bashame
    Let's have a rice ball party in the fall with
    some Bashame Rice and Bashame Pickled Plums!
[21:55] Anko
    Sounds good.
[21:56] Bashame
    We should get some chickens
    so we can eat some egg over rice, too.
[22:00] Anko
    Sure. Some yakitori would be good, too.
