**[00:06] Yume**
Where are you going, Mizuto-kun?
**[00:08] Mizuto**
Right back at you. Where are
*you* going, Yume-san?
**[00:12] Yuni**
Oh? I thought you two were headed out.
**[00:16] Mizuto**
We were just about to leave.
**[00:20] Yuni**
For that bookstore
on Karasuma Street, by chance?
**[00:22] Yuni**
A little bird told me you like to read!
**[00:25] Yuni**
So you two must be headed to the same place.
**[00:28] Yuni**
Yume only ever goes to the
bookstore or the library, after all.
**[00:31] Yume**
M-Mom, please!
**[00:35] Yuni**
I trust you'll take care of her, Mizuto-kun.
**[00:38] Mizuto**
S-Sure thing...
**[00:40] Yuni**
All righty then. You two get along, okay?
**[00:43] Yume**
Take care!
**[00:48] Yume**
Why did you say yes?
**[00:50] Mizuto**
You heard her.
She didn't give me much choice.
**[00:53] Yume**
Why should I have to tag along
with someone like you?
**[00:58] Mizuto**
Whatever. I don't want you
tagging along, either.
**[01:03] Yume**
I always hated how passive you are.
**[01:06] Yume**
Stupid geek!
**[01:08] Mizuto**
And I always hated how selfish *you* are.
**[01:11] Mizuto**
Stupid nerd!
***SIGN*** Irido
**[01:20] Mineaki**
That curry was so good!
***SIGN*** The Former Couple Refuses to Say...
***SIGN*** "It's things like this...!"
**[01:23] Yuni**
I'm glad you liked it.
**[01:26] Mizuto**
Thanks for the meal.
**[01:28] Yuni**
Of course!
**[01:33] Yume**
Thanks for the meal.
**[01:39] Mineaki**
I'm so glad they seem to be getting along.
**[01:43] Yuni**
You're telling me.
**[01:44] Mineaki**
To suddenly get a housemate
of the opposite sex at that age...
**[01:47] Mineaki**
I guess that sort of thing
doesn't matter much nowadays.
**[01:52] Mineaki**
Well, looks like I was worried over nothing!
**[01:55] Yuni**
Families come in all shapes
and sizes these days.
**[01:58] Yuni**
Just because they're stepsiblings
doesn't mean they can't get along.
**[02:02] Yuni**
Here you go, dear.
**[02:04] Yume**
You get it, don't you?
**[02:04] Mineaki**
Why thank you, Yuni-san.
**[02:05] Mizuto**
Get what?
**[02:06] Yume**
We mustn't do anything to upset them.
**[02:10] Mizuto**
I know that.
**[02:12] Mizuto**
I'll take what happened
between us to my grave.
**[02:15] Yume**
Excellent.
**[02:18] Mizuto**
Look who's all high and mighty.
**[02:21] Mizuto**
Since when were you this bossy?
**[02:23] Yume**
If I wasn't like this before,
**[02:25] Yume**
then it's certainly your fault
that I'm like this now.
**[02:28] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[02:29] Yume**
Got a problem?
**[02:31] Yuni**
Apparently their daughter's
gonna start living on her own.
**[02:33] Mineaki**
Yeah?
**[02:34] Yuni**
Yeah, and I heard...
***SIGN*** Beyond All Limits
**[02:53] Yume**
I've completely reached my limit.
***SIGN*** Something's Wrong...
**[02:55] Mizuto**
Is something wrong?
**[02:57] Yume**
How much longer do you plan on calling
me by my given name like it's nothing?
**[03:04] Mizuto**
You're using my given name too.
**[03:08] Yume**
That's better than you using mine.
**[03:11] Mizuto**
Not much we can do now
that we share a family name.
**[03:14] Mizuto**
What would you suggest I call you?
**[03:16] Yume**
That's obvious, isn't it? It's perfect.
**[03:19] Mizuto**
What is?
**[03:21] Yume**
"Onee-chan."
**[03:24] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[03:25] Yume**
We're siblings now, so addressing me
as your older sister makes perfect sense, no?
**[03:31] Mizuto**
Hold it, hold it, hold it.
**[03:33] Mizuto**
*You're* the older sibling?
**[03:37] Mizuto**
Gimme a break. It's the other way around.
**[03:39] Mizuto**
*I'm* the older sibling here.
**[03:43] Yume**
Let me put this simply, since your
brain cells seem to be off duty right now.
**[03:47] Yume**
Listen well.
**[03:49] Yume**
Our society considers the
firstborn child to be the eldest.
**[03:55] Yume**
That's premise number one.
**[03:57] Yume**
I was born before you.
That's premise number two.
**[04:03] Yume**
Therefore, I am the older sibling.
**[04:05] Yume**
It's the logical conclusion. You follow?
**[04:07] Mizuto**
But if memory serves, weren't we
both born on November 3rd?
**[04:14] Mizuto**
So we're the same age, correct?
**[04:17] Mizuto**
By the day, perhaps,
but that's not everything.
**[04:20] Mizuto**
You must also consider the time of birth.
**[04:23] Mizuto**
Time of birth?
**[04:24] Yume**
I asked Mineaki-san in order
to settle the matter.
**[04:29] Yume**
I was born at 11:04 AM,
**[04:33] Yume**
while *you* were born at 11:34 AM.
**[04:39] Yume**
In other words, I was born
thirty minutes earlier.
**[04:43] Yume**
You with me?
**[04:45] Mizuto**
Didn't Japan used to consider the firstborn
twin to be younger in ancient times?
**[04:53] Yume**
But we're not twins.
**[04:55] Mizuto**
We're not even siblings in the first place.
**[04:59] Yume**
Hey, wait a second...
**[05:01] Yume**
We consider the firstborn
to be the eldest now anyway.
**[05:06] Mizuto**
Just go along with it, would you?
**[05:08] Yume**
Thought you could fool me?
**[05:10] Mizuto**
Whatever. I'm the older sibling. QED.
**[05:13] Mizuto**
Case dismissed.
**[05:15] Yume**
*I'm* going to be the older sibling.
**[05:17] Yume**
The thought of being your
little sister creeps me out!
**[05:19] Mizuto**
Same here!
**[05:21] Mizuto**
I'd take anything over
being your little brother!
**[05:31] Mizuto**
Wait, hang on.
**[05:32] Yume**
What?
**[05:33] Mizuto**
Glaring at each other won't get us anywhere.
**[05:36] Mizuto**
At times like this, any reasonable person
would settle things with a game.
**[05:41] Yume**
Irritating choice of words, but you're right.
**[05:46] Yume**
In that case...
**[05:48] Yume**
How about this?
**[05:50] Yume**
We've both accepted the fact that
**[05:52] Yume**
we'll have to hide our previous relationship
**[05:54] Yume**
and act like any normal stepsiblings would.
**[05:58] Yume**
We've both been doing well so far,
**[06:01] Yume**
but either one of us may yet slip up
**[06:04] Yume**
and do something out of line, no?
**[06:06] Yume**
So whoever screws up first loses.
**[06:09] Mizuto**
So whoever first acts in a manner
unnatural for a stepsibling
***SIGN*** Little Brother
**[06:12] Mizuto**
becomes the younger brother or sister?
***SIGN*** Little Sister
***SIGN*** Little Brother
***SIGN*** Little Sister
**[06:17] Mizuto**
The sense of competition
engendered by such a rule
**[06:19] Mizuto**
should also help inspire us
to better hide our past.
**[06:22] Mizuto**
So do these rules apply even
when our parents aren't around?
**[06:27] Yume**
Of course.
**[06:29] Yume**
Also, that's per slip-up.
**[06:33] Yume**
The winner gets to decide how the
younger shows it every time.
**[06:39] Mizuto**
I guess there'd be no point
if it was sudden death.
**[06:42] Mizuto**
Okay, let's go with that.
**[06:44] Yume**
Then...
**[06:47] Yume**
The game starts now.
**[06:52] Mizuto**
Wai—What are you doing?!
**[06:54] Yume**
Oh, what's wrong?
Isn't this normal sibling behavior?
**[07:01] Mizuto**
*I get it now...*
**[07:05] Yume**
* It seems he's finally realized the true*
* nature of the rules I laid out..*
**[07:10] Mizuto**
*Even if it's an obvious provocation,*
**[07:11] Mizuto**
* I'm not allowed to show*
* irritation over any action*
**[07:15] Mizuto**
* that would be considered*
* normal among siblings.*
**[07:19] Mizuto**
* Such a reaction would fall into the*
* category of "unnatural for a stepsibling."*
**[07:23] Mizuto**
*In other words...*
**[07:24] Mizuto**
*This was just a ploy to get under my skin!*
**[07:28] Mizuto**
* Stupid girl... She proposed*
* those rules just for that?!*
**[07:33] Mizuto**
*She's twisted!*
**[07:36] Mizuto**
*This is bad.*
**[07:38] Mizuto**
*My own personal Pandora's box is right there!*
**[07:42] Mizuto**
* That drawer contains things*
* I can't let anyone see!*
**[07:51] Mizuto**
* What do I do? What do I do?*
* What do I do? What do I do?!*
**[07:58] Mizuto**
Forgive me...
**[08:01] Mizuto**
I can't bear to fight with you any longer.
**[08:06] Mizuto**
If I've upset you, I apologize.
**[08:08] Mizuto**
I'll even get out of your sight.
**[08:12] Mizuto**
So please...
**[08:13] Mizuto**
Can we put this behind us?
**[08:23] Yume**
Irido-kun...
**[08:28] Mizuto**
Yup, you're out!
**[08:30] Mizuto**
Siblings don't call each
other by their last names.
**[08:36] Yume**
B-But you're out too, aren't you?
**[08:39] Mizuto**
Wanting to bury the hatchet is completely
normal for siblings, don't you think?
**[08:47] Mizuto**
Now then, since this is the first round,
let's keep it simple.
**[08:51] Mizuto**
Just say it.
**[08:53] Yume**
H-How should I say it?
**[08:56] Mizuto**
However you'd like.
**[09:09] Yume**
O-Onii-chan...
**[09:19] Mizuto**
Well, you've learned your lesson.
**[09:20] Mizuto**
Now you know not to mess with me.
**[09:24] Mizuto**
You may fancy yourself a
hardcore mystery fan,
**[09:28] Mizuto**
but you and I simply aren't
on the same level up here.
**[09:32] Yume**
You never...
**[09:34] Yume**
used to be this mean to me back then!
**[09:40] Mizuto**
There, there.
**[09:42] Mizuto**
You're right. I'm sorry.
**[09:45] Mizuto**
Onee...
**[09:48] Mizuto**
Nee-san.
**[09:50] Yume**
Th-This is the part of you I...
**[09:53] Yume**
I always hated how you flip-flop like that!
**[09:56] Yume**
Stupid Onii-chan!
**[10:04] Yuni**
You both look wonderful!

We're walking to school separately
starting tomorrow, got it?
**[10:42] Mizuto**
That goes without saying.
**[10:43] Mizuto**
Anyway, shouldn't you be more
focused on making friends?
**[10:49] Mizuto**
This is your high school debut.
**[10:50] Yume**
My high school debut?
**[10:52] Mizuto**
I'm the only one in the entire school
who knows you used to be a total nerd.
**[10:58] Mizuto**
It's the perfect time to reinvent yourself.
**[11:00] Yume**
Don't you worry, Mizuto-kun.
**[11:04] Yume**
I have a secret weapon up my sleeve.

You were so cool back there, Irido-san!
**[11:22] Maki(?)**
You didn't seem nervous at all!
**[11:25] Yume**
That's not true. I was a
nervous wreck on the inside.

Coming!

Lured by the warmth of the spring breeze,
**[11:43] (Flashback) Yume**
the cherry blossoms start
to bloom on this...
**[11:48] Maki(?)**
You must have aced the entrance exam
if they made you the student rep, right?
**[11:52] Nasuka(?)**
How much did you study?
**[11:54] Yume**
Not much... is what I'd like to say,
**[11:57] Yume**
but honestly, I studied day and night.
**[11:59] Yume**
I still don't feel like
I'm truly free from it.
**[12:02] Mizuto**
* How on earth does this girl*
* have better grades than me?!*

*You little...*

**[12:18] Boy A**
Irido!
**[12:20] Boy A**
What junior high did you go to?
**[12:24] Mizuto**
Nagimi Middle. Why?
**[12:27] Boy B**
Huh. You play video games?
**[12:30] Mizuto**
No, not really.
**[12:31] Boy B**
Gotcha.
**[12:32] Mizuto**
*Wh-What's going on?*
**[12:32] Boy B**
Just thought it might be fun
to play together if you did.
**[12:33] Mizuto**
*Why are people flocking to* me *now?*
**[12:35] Boy A**
Um...
**[12:37] Boy A**
So anyway...
**[12:39] Boy A**
Is it true you and Irido-san are stepsiblings?
**[12:47] Mizuto**
*They really caught me off guard with that.*
**[12:50] Mizuto**
*But that girl...*
**[12:52] Mizuto**
* Did she really tell everyone*
* we're stepsiblings?*
**[12:56] Mizuto**
* Even if they would've*
* figured it out anyway...*
**[12:58] Boy A**
You know that Irido-san girl?
**[13:00] Boy A**
She's a real cutie, isn't she?
**[13:01] Boy B**
Yeah.
**[13:03] Mizuto**
*A cutie? Give me a break.*
**[13:05] Mizuto**
* I'd go to the optometrist and get*
* my eyes checked if I were you.*
**[13:10] Boy A**
It was love at first sight.
**[13:12] Boy B**
So your plan is to get close
with the younger brother, right?
**[13:15] Boy A**
If I went to her directly,
she'd just shoot me down.
**[13:15] Mizuto**
* So she told people I'm younger, huh?*
* That girl...*
**[13:20] Boy A**
It'll be smooth sailing if I can get
to her through him, y'know?
**[13:23] Boy A**
But her brother was such a killjoy.
**[13:27] Boy B**
Maybe he just thought
you were annoying?
**[13:29] Boy A**
Whoa, harsh!
**[13:31] Mizuto**
*I see what's happening.*
**[13:32] Mizuto**
* So they mean to use me as a*
* stepping stone to get to her, huh?*
***SIGN*** Irido
**[13:52] Mizuto**

Aren't you upset?

They're looking down on you.
**[13:59] Mizuto**
You mean those guys that swarmed me?
**[14:02] Yume**
They don't have the guts
to speak to me directly,
**[14:05] Yume**
but they assume *you're* a pushover,
so they're using you to get to me.
**[14:09] Yume**
I hate people like that.
**[14:12] Mizuto**
Don't let it bother you.
They're not worth the time.
**[14:16] Yume**
But then you'll—
**[14:19] Mizuto**
What about me?

Nothing...

Didn't we agree to walk

*What on earth is she thinking?*
***SIGN*** Rakuro Private High School
**[15:04] Boy A**
Hey! It's Mizuto-kun.
**[15:06] Boy B**
Let's hang out.
**[15:08] Yume**
Oh?
**[15:09] Yume**
Sorry, you two.
**[15:13] Yume**
Mizuto and I are talking right now,
**[15:16] Yume**
so would you mind not getting in our way?
**[15:18] Boy A**
Irido-san...?
**[15:20] Boy A**
Y-You two aren't—
**[15:22] Boy B**
You *are* brother and sister, right?
**[15:25] Yume**
Indeed.
**[15:26] Yume**
Sorry for having a brother complex.
**[15:35] Mizuto**
What was that?

Just now...

Mineaki-san is gonna be late too, so tell Mizuto-kun for me, will you?
**[15:44] Yume**
Looks like Mom and Mineaki-san
will be home late tonight.
**[15:48] Mizuto**
Should I make something to eat, then?
**[15:52] Yume**
You can cook?
**[15:53] Mizuto**
A little.
**[15:55] Mizuto**
It was just me and my dad, after all.
**[15:58] Mizuto**
And you...
**[16:01] Mizuto**
You're terrible at it, right?
**[16:07] Yume**
Well, what are you gonna make?
**[16:09] Mizuto**
I'll see what's in the fridge
and decide from there.
**[16:13] Mizuto**
Okay, what do we have?
**[16:16] Mizuto**
Eggs and fish... That'll need prepping.
**[16:21] Mizuto**
What else?
**[16:23] Mizuto**
Breasts, huh?
**[16:24] Yume**
B-Breasts?!
**[16:26] Mizuto**
Hmm?
**[16:26] Mizuto**
Got something against chicken breast?
**[16:28] Yume**
Oh... No, not really.
**[16:36] Yume**
Hey...
**[16:37] Mizuto**
Hmm? What is it?
**[16:39] Yume**
About this morning...
**[16:42] Yume**
The sensation... on your arm...
**[16:45] Yume**
from when I hugged you...
**[16:48] Yume**
You should wipe it from your memory!
**[16:50] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[16:52] Mizuto**
Oh, yeah, I'd already forgotten about that.
**[16:59] Yume**
I see!
**[17:04] Yume**
Infuriating! So infuriating!
**[17:06] Yume**
Absolutely, truly, and utterly infuriating!
**[17:12] Yume**
You'd already forgotten, huh?
**[17:15] Yume**
Are you trying to say mine are forgettable?
**[17:20] Yume**
There must be some way
**[17:24] Yume**
to break through his indifference...
**[17:33] ---**
Japan Sinks
**[17:39] Yume**
I'm out now.
**[17:48] Yume**
*All right! That worked better than I expected.*
**[17:51] Mizuto**
I—You—What gives?!
**[17:53] Yume**
I'm in my own home, you know?
It's not that big of a deal.
**[17:57] Mizuto**
No, but... I'm here, so...
**[18:02] Yume**
Oh?
**[18:03] Yume**
So what if my brother's here?
**[18:06] Yume**
Or, don't tell me...
**[18:07] Yume**
Mizuto-kun, are you the kind of bad boy
who'd sneak a peek at his stepsister
**[18:12] ---**
with lusty eyes?
**[18:20] Yume**
*He's getting redder by the second.*
**[18:23] Yume**
*He turned away, but I can tell he's looking.*
**[18:28] Yume**

**[18:33] Yume**

*O-Oh no! It's gonna... It's...*

*Huh, wait.*
**[18:59] Yume**

**[19:37] Mizuto**
I know you were just trying to mess with me,
**[19:41] Mizuto**
but didn't you realize this might happen?
**[19:45] Mizuto**
You're usually so reserved,
**[19:47] ---**
but every now and then, you go and
do something outrageous, don't you?
**[19:50] Mizuto**
Like this morning.
**[19:52] Mizuto**
If you act like that at school,
**[19:54] Mizuto**
you're gonna lose the reputation
you've made for yourself.
**[19:57] Yume**
But... you're family now.
**[20:03] Yume**
I can't stand people looking
down on my family like that!
**[20:13] Mizuto**
Thanks. I appreciate it.
**[20:17] Mizuto**
Don't you have something to say?
**[20:19] Mizuto**
I genuinely thanked you, didn't I?
**[20:22] Yume**
D-Don't mention it!

losing today.
**[21:18] Yuni**
Mineaki-san, I'll hold the door,
so would you be a dear and bring that in?
**[21:18] Yume**
Wh-What do we do?!
**[21:19] Mizuto**
Just hide!
**[21:20] Yume**
Hide? But where?!
**[21:21] Mineaki**
Oh, sure!

Huh?!

Oh? You alone, Mizuto?
**[21:33] Mizuto**
Welcome home, Dad, Yuni-san.
**[21:36] Mizuto**
Yume-san went to bed already.
**[21:38] Mineaki**
Oh, okay.

**[00:17] Kogure**
Wanna stick together during
the fitness test today?
**[00:21] Mizuto**
Let me just tell you this.
**[00:23] Mizuto**
There's nothing to gain in befriending me.
**[00:25] Mizuto**
Why, you ask?
**[00:27] Mizuto**
You're so evidently the player type
**[00:29] Mizuto**
that there's no way in hell
I'd let you anywhere near Yume.
**[00:35] Kogure**
Of course. I expected as much.
**[00:38] Mizuto**
What are you on about?
**[00:40] Kogure**
Oh, nothing. Just talking to myself.
**[00:42] Kogure**
I'm Kawanami Kogure.
**[00:45] Kogure**
And I'm the first guy who's
genuinely trying to befriend you.
**[00:50] Mizuto**
That just makes you
even more suspicious.
**[00:52] Kogure**
Don't be like that, bro.
**[00:54] Mizuto**
I don't recall being related to you.
**[00:57] Kogure**
Too bad. Friends it is, then.
**[01:00] Kogure**
The pleasure's mine.
**[01:00] Mizuto**
Have you no concept of boundaries?
**[01:04] Kogure**
Now then, pal,
**[01:05] Kogure**
to celebrate our newfound friendship,
why don't I let you in on a little something?
**[01:11] Mizuto**
And that would be?
**[01:12] Mizuto**
If you turn around, you'll see
something truly incredible.
**[01:18] Kogure**
"There's no way in hell I'd let

*I think her name was Minami Akatsuki...*
**[03:23] Yume**
U-Um...
**[03:26] Yume**
What is it?
**[03:29] Akatsuki**
Whoops, my bad, my bad.
**[03:32] Akatsuki**
I was just thinking, you've got a big bust
for someone with such a petite figure.
**[03:37] Akatsuki**
I mean, look. This is all
I've got going for me.
**[03:40] Akatsuki**
All taking measurements does is
remind me how much I *haven't* grown.
**[03:45] Akatsuki**
So I get depressed whenever
this time of year rolls around.
**[03:48] Yume**
I feel that. I've definitely been there.
**[03:51] Yume**
Just last year, mine weren't very big at all.
**[03:54] Akatsuki**
What? They weren't?
**[03:57] Yume**
I'd say they were about the same
size as yours last year.
**[04:00] Akatsuki**
What?!
**[04:03] Akatsuki**
You got that big in a year?!
**[04:06] Akatsuki**
O-On a side note...
**[04:08] Akatsuki**
Might I inquire as to
your bra size, perchance?
**[04:12] Yume**
Um...
**[04:19] Akatsuki**
Did you say *D*?
**[04:22] Yume**
J-Just keep in mind that I like
to go a size up, okay?
**[04:27] Akatsuki**
Wow!
**[04:28] Akatsuki**
You've given me hope, Irido-san!
**[04:31] Yume**
Hey... M-Minami-san?!
**[04:33] Yume**
Don't they say the people you
hang around rub off on you?
**[04:36] Yume**
So if I stick to you like this,
maybe mine'll get bigger too!
**[04:40] Yume**
Come on, come on!
**[04:40] Yume**
I don't think that's what
that saying means...
**[04:50] Akatsuki**
Do we really have to do physical
fitness tests even at prep school?
**[04:55] Akatsuki**
Ugh, this totally sucks.
**[04:58] Yume**
I agree.
**[05:00] Yume**
*When I got into high school,*
**[05:02] ---**
* I made a conscious effort to change*
* my looks and personality.*
**[05:05] Yume**
*But when it comes to fitness...*
**[05:09] Akatsuki**
Well, Irido-san,
let's just get this over with.
**[05:13] Yume**
Y-Yeah, let's.
**[05:22] Male Student 1**
Yo, are you seeing this?
**[05:25] Male Student 1**
Minami's cracked!
**[05:28] Akatsuki**
Dang! Only 55 jumps?
**[05:32] Akatsuki**
I was hoping to do a little better than that.
**[05:35] Yume**
M-Minami-san...
**[05:37] Yume**
I thought you said you
weren't good at these things.
**[05:40] Akatsuki**
I didn't say I wasn't good at it.
**[05:42] Akatsuki**
I just said that it sucks.
**[05:44] Akatsuki**
Come on. If they see a short little
girl like me beating the boys,
**[05:49] Akatsuki**
they'll start picking on me, y'know?
**[05:51] Yume**
*Impressive misdirection.*
**[05:59] Yume**
* I've finally established my*
* image as a model student.*
**[06:03] Yume**
*If they find out I suck at sports...*

**[08:05] Mizuto**
You did good.
**[08:07] Mizuto**
But I think you've pushed yourself enough.
**[08:11] Akatsuki**
A-Are you all right?!
**[08:13] Akatsuki**
Hey—Whoa there!
**[08:17] Mizuto**
She's in your hands.
**[08:20] Mizuto**
Why is Irido-kun still out here?
**[08:23] Mizuto**
I thought the boys were done
with the outdoor stuff.
***SIGN*** Nurse's Office
**[08:32] Akatsuki**
I'm sorry I didn't realize you
were so worn out, Irido-san.
**[08:38] Yume**
No, it's okay.
**[08:40] Yume**
It was my own fault for trying
so hard in the first place.
**[08:44] Akatsuki**
Trying so hard?
**[08:45] Yume**
I'm actually really bad at athletics.
**[08:50] Yume**
I was worried people would find out,
**[08:52] Yume**
so I've been staying up late weight training
**[08:54] Yume**
and reading books on sports
from cover to cover.
**[08:57] Yume**
I think I just wore myself
out from lack of sleep.
**[09:00] Akatsuki**
Gotcha.
**[09:02] Akatsuki**
That makes me feel so much closer to you!
**[09:06] Yume**
Huh? Why is that?
**[09:08] Akatsuki**
If I'm honest, part of me found
you a little hard to approach.
**[09:12] Akatsuki**
I mean, you're pretty and smart.
Out of my league, in a way.
**[09:16] Akatsuki**
But man, I had no idea.
**[09:18] Akatsuki**
So you suck at sports and
you're a try-hard, huh?
**[09:21] Yume**
N-Now you're getting under my skin.
Mind if I let you have it?
**[09:25] Akatsuki**
Go right ahead.
**[09:26] Akatsuki**
I'd love to see you when you're angry.
**[09:29] Yume**
Well then, sorry in advance.
**[09:31] Yume**
H-Hey, you...
**[09:35] Akatsuki**
"Hey, you," she says! You're so cute!
**[09:40] Yume**
D-Don't laugh. You're making
me feel self-conscious.
**[09:44] Akatsuki**
Hey, Irido-san!
**[09:46] Akatsuki**
Is it all right if I call you Yume-chan?
**[09:49] Yume**
Huh? Y-You mean by my given name?
**[09:52] Akatsuki**
Yeah, exactly! Is that cool?
**[09:55] Yume**
Um, sure. I m-mean... I'd like that.
**[10:01] Akatsuki**
Hurray!
**[10:03] Akatsuki**
I'm so glad we're friends now, Yume-chan!
**[10:08] Yume**
* Wait, does this mean I have*
* to call her by her name now too?!*
**[10:14] Yume**
A-A-Aka... Akatsu...
**[10:19] Akatsuki**
There, there. You can take your time.
**[10:22] Akatsuki**
There's no need to rush.
**[10:26] Yume**
It's a pleasure to get to know you
as well, Minami-san.
**[10:29] Akatsuki**
Hold on. So you're not gonna call me Akatsuki?
**[10:32] Akatsuki**
And why so formal?!
**[10:47] Yume**
Um, about earlier...
**[10:50] Mizuto**
You've got bags under your eyes.
**[10:51] Yume**
What?! No way!
**[10:55] Mizuto**
I was kidding.
**[10:59] Yume**
*What an insufferable jerk!*
**[11:01] Yume**
* I can't believe he saw through my*
* attempts to look good this whole time!*
**[11:04] Akatsuki**
Irido-kun's so sweet when
it comes to you, Yume-chan.
**[11:08] Yume**
Huh?! What makes you think *that*?!
**[11:09] Akatsuki**
Hmm?

What's your problem, Kawanami?

My good friend's being harassed

I never participate.

It's far more enjoyable that way.

That *does* sound like fun.
**[12:24] Kogure**

Was it hard becoming siblings
and moving in together so suddenly?

Whoa!
**[13:01] Akatsuki**
So this is where you live, Irido-kun?
**[13:05] Mizuto**
Just so we're clear,
**[13:06] Mizuto**
you showing up out of the blue
will probably surprise her,
**[13:09] Mizuto**
so rein it in, will you?
**[13:11] Akatsuki**
Aw, but the whole point was to surprise her.
**[13:15] Mizuto**
People who are sick don't need surprises.
**[13:32] Mizuto**
I'm coming in.
**[13:43] Akatsuki**
She's conked out, huh?
**[13:45] Mizuto**
Seems so.
**[13:57] Yume**
Irido-kun...
**[14:01] Mizuto**
H-Hey... How are you feeling?
**[14:04] Yume**
Where have you been? I was lonely.
**[14:09] Mizuto**
U-Um...

L-Look! Minami-san's here to see you.
**[14:16] Akatsuki**
Hey, Yume-chan. How're you doing?
**[14:19] Yume**
To see me...?
**[14:28] Akatsuki**
How's the fever? Still pretty bad?
**[14:30] Yume**
Thanks for checking up on me, Minami-san.
**[14:33] Yume**
My fever's already gone done quite a bit.
**[14:36] Akatsuki**
Hey, are you feeling
hungry at all, Yume-chan?
**[14:39] Akatsuki**
I bought stuff to make you some rice porridge!
**[14:42] Akatsuki**
Come help me, Irido-kun.
**[14:44] Akatsuki**
You're a decent cook, aren't you?
Yume-chan told me so.
**[14:52] Akatsuki**
So, I've been thinking...
**[14:55] Akatsuki**
Isn't it going to be difficult for you now?
**[14:58] Mizuto**
What?
**[14:59] Akatsuki**
What'll you do if you get a girlfriend?
**[15:01] Akatsuki**
Bringing her over will be hard, right?
**[15:03] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[15:04] Mizuto**
Do I look like the kind of guy
who can get a girl?
**[15:07] Akatsuki**
Well, you've already had one,
haven't you, Irido-kun?
**[15:13] Akatsuki**
I've kinda got a knack for
picking up on that stuff, y'know?
**[15:17] Akatsuki**
Like how you interact with girls.
**[15:20] Akatsuki**
I was like, "Yeah, this guy's
probably had a girlfriend before."
**[15:24] Akatsuki**
But not anymore, right?
**[15:26] Akatsuki**
Well? Hit the nail on the head?
**[15:28] Mizuto**
No comment.
**[15:29] Akatsuki**
Oh, so you're taking that route.
**[15:32] Akatsuki**
But really, what'll you do
if you get another girl?
**[15:36] Mizuto**
Highly unlikely. Besides, I don't want one.
**[15:38] Akatsuki**
I'm saying *if*. You wouldn't
introduce her to Yume-chan?
**[15:41] Mizuto**
Of course not.
It's not like I need her blessing.
**[15:45] Mizuto**
And it'd be a pain.
**[15:47] Akatsuki**
But that means she'd never find out
if you have someone or not.
**[15:52] Akatsuki**
Unless you got married.
**[15:54] Mizuto**
I guess not.
**[15:56] Akatsuki**
I see, I see. Very interesting.
**[16:04] Akatsuki**
Well, that should be good.
**[16:05] Akatsuki**
All right, Yume-chan. Say, "Ahh!"
**[16:09] Yume**
I-I can feed myself, you know?
**[16:11] Akatsuki**
Not a chance. You're sick!
**[16:14] Akatsuki**

Yeah, I'll pass it on.

**[16:46] Mizuto**
Yup, that's right. Stepsiblings.
**[16:49] Akatsuki**
Oh! Stepsiblings, huh?
**[16:52] Akatsuki**
Not *just* siblings then. Gotcha, gotcha.
***SIGN*** Irido
***SIGN*** Welp, I'll see you later!
**[17:05] Mizuto**
Minami-san's gone home now.
**[17:09] Yume**
Well, aren't the two of you
getting along nicely...
**[17:13] Yume**
Making rice porridge together like that.
**[17:16] Mizuto**
So we're perfectly clear,
**[17:18] Mizuto**
that remark just now meant,
**[17:21] Mizuto**
"I hate seeing my dear friend with
a good-for-nothing loser like you," correct?
**[17:27] Yume**
Yeah... You got it.
**[17:29] Mizuto**
Honestly...
**[17:31] Mizuto**
Listen, Minami-san's just outgoing.
**[17:35] Mizuto**
People like her naturally tend
to get along with anyone and everyone.
**[17:41] Mizuto**
Though that might be hard to grasp
for someone reinventing themselves.
**[17:44] Yume**
I'm not... doing that...
**[17:48] Mizuto**
Get some sleep.
**[17:50] Mizuto**
If you want to get better, you need to rest.
**[17:53] Yume**
Are you... gonna leave me again?
**[17:55] Mizuto**
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm staying home today.
**[17:59] Yume**
Liar. You left the last time...
**[18:03] Mizuto**
The last time? What do you mean?
**[18:07] Yume**
Even though I asked you to hold my hand...
**[18:11] Yume**
When I woke up, you were gone.
**[18:13] Mizuto**
Honestly, does your brain just get sent
back in time whenever you catch a cold?
**[18:20] Mizuto**
Here.
**[18:21] Mizuto**
I won't let go this time,
so try to go to sleep, okay?
**[18:30] Yume**
Thank you, Irido-kun...
***SIGN*** April

* Looking back, I can only describe*
* it as a youthful indiscretion.*
**[18:46] Mizuto**
* But from my second to third*
* year of middle school,*
**[18:49] Mizuto**
*I had what you might call a girlfriend.*
**[18:53] Mizuto**
*Her name was Ayai Yume.*
**[18:58] Mizuto**
*At least, it was at the time.*
**[19:01] Mizuto**
*We read books and talked about them together.*
**[19:03] Mizuto**
*And when she got sick, I'd hold her hand.*
**[19:06] Mizuto**
* Like some couple out of a YA novel*
* for love-obsessed teens,*
**[19:10] Mizuto**
*we spent our days never tiring of one another.*
**[19:13] Mizuto**
*But trivial disagreements began to pile up,*
**[19:16] Mizuto**
* and by graduation,*
* we went our separate ways.*
**[19:19] Mizuto**
*It was a perfectly typical romance,*
**[19:23] Mizuto**
*until that day...*
**[19:26] Mizuto**
*My dad had gotten remarried,*
**[19:27] Mizuto**
* and the moment I came face-to-face*
* with my stepmom's daughter,*
**[19:31] Mizuto**
*only one thought crossed my mind.*
**[19:34] Mizuto**
* And I'm sure she was thinking*
* the exact same thing.*
**[19:39] Mizuto**
*"God's a real comedian."*
***SIGN*** April
**[19:44] Yume**
Hey.
**[19:46] Yume**
I'm thirsty.
**[19:47] Mizuto**
Don't spill it.
**[19:49] Yume**
Go buy me ice cream.
**[19:51] Mizuto**
What kind?
**[19:52] Yume**
I want a book. Gimme money.
**[19:55] Mizuto**
Why should I?
**[19:56] Yume**
Would you... hold my hand again?
**[20:00] Mizuto**
Yeah, yeah.
**[20:02] Mizuto**
Hey.
**[20:04] Mizuto**
It's time to check your temperature again.
**[20:06] Mizuto**
If you've been resting all day
and it still hasn't gone down,
**[20:09] ---**
then it could be serious, you know?
**[20:11] Yume**
N-No, I'm okay! I'm completely fine!
**[20:15] Mizuto**
We need to take your temperature
to make sure, don't we?
**[20:20] Mizuto**
Now raise your arm.
**[20:22] Yume**
N-No...
**[20:24] Yume**
*No*!
**[20:29] Mizuto**
It's 36.5 degrees...
**[20:37] Mizuto**
All right, you. How long
has your fever been gone?
**[20:40] Yume**
No comment.
**[20:42] Mizuto**
You weren't pretending to be sick
just to boss me around, were you?
**[20:46] Yume**
No comment!
**[20:49] Mizuto**
So asking me to hold your hand was also...
**[20:53] Mizuto**
Hey, don't you run away!
**[20:55] Yume**
I'm going back to sleep just to be safe!
**[20:58] Mizuto**
You've slept enough, haven't you?
**[21:00] Mizuto**
Taking advantage of my kindness like that!
**[21:07] Mizuto**
Don't you have something to say?
**[21:10] Yume**
Um...
**[21:12] Mizuto**
Or can you not say it unless
I hold your hand for you?
**[21:16] Yume**
I-I'm sorry for pretending to be sick.
**[21:22] Mizuto**
Very good.
**[21:23] Mizuto**
Well, it's true that you're
still technically recovering,
**[21:27] Mizuto**
so I'll let it slide this time.
**[21:29] Yume**
You being nice to me is weirding me out.
**[21:33] Mizuto**
I'll take that as a compliment,
**[21:35] Mizuto**
Miss I Can't Fall Asleep
Without You Holding My Hand.
**[21:41] Yume**
I can't hear you!
**[21:42] Yume**
I have no idea what you're talking about!
**[21:46] Mizuto**
If you're this lively, I guess you
don't need me to look after you anymore.
**[21:49] Mizuto**
I'm going back to my room now, okay?
**[21:51] Yume**
Hey...
**[21:52] Mizuto**
Hmm?
**[21:53] Yume**
Don't go off somewhere...
**[21:55] Yume**
and leave me behind.
**[21:58] Mizuto**
Well, we are siblings now.
**[22:04] Mizuto**
I think I can stick around.

* This exceptionally introverted girl*
* is me from six months ago.*
**[00:16] Yume**
*Back then, every time he gave me something,*
**[00:20] Yume**
*I would store it in a small box.*
**[00:24] Yume**
* I repeated a cult-like ritual*
* of smiling creepily*
**[00:28] Yume**
*while worshiping it like some sacred object.*
**[00:34] Yume**
*Truly alarming behavior.*
**[00:36] Yume**
* Should you look up "crazy woman"*
* in the dictionary,*
**[00:39] Yume**
* you'd likely find a picture*
* of me from back then.*

**[02:29] Yume**
*Wait! Hold on a sec!*
**[02:31] Yume**
* How on earth did I end up*
* with his underwear?!*
**[02:34] Yume**
*And what was I doing with them?!*
**[02:38] Yume**
*Just kill me!*
**[02:39] Yume**
* It's like I've regressed*
* into some desperate loser!*
**[02:42] Yume**
* I thought I'd left the*
* introverted life behind me!*
**[02:47] Yume**
* This is all his fault for wearing*
* underwear in the first place!*
**[02:50] Yume**
* Because of him, my old self*
* is rearing her ugly head again!*
**[02:54] Yume**
*If he were to find out about this...*
**[02:57] Yume**
*It would be a major violation of our rules!*
**[03:00] Yume**
* I'd be pronounced guilty*
* with no hope of appeal,*
**[03:02] Yume**
*nor any hope of a deferred sentence!*
**[03:03] Yume**
*I'd have to submit to being his little sister.*
**[03:07] Yume**
*And then... And then...*
**[03:15] Mizuto**
'Sup, little sister, who made off with her
stepbrother's underwear like a pervert.
**[03:19] Yume**
I-I'm not a perv...
**[03:22] Mizuto**
Oh?
**[03:23] Mizuto**
You mean to say that stealing my underwear
and keeping my things in a little box
**[03:28] Mizuto**
*isn't* the behavior of a pervert?
**[03:35] Yume**
Irido-kun...
**[03:38] Mizuto**
Don't you mean...
**[03:40] Mizuto**
"Onii-chan," my perverted little sister?!
**[03:44] Yume**
Onii-chan!
**[03:49] Yume**
I-If I don't do something...
**[03:51] Yume**
I think I'm gonna go insane!
**[03:57] Yume**
Accursed thing!
I must return them before it's too late!
**[04:07] Yume**
* The only catch is that*
* he still seems to be awake.*
***SIGN*** April
**[04:11] Yume**
*Come on!*
**[04:12] Yume**
* I thought I'd have the perfect opportunity*
* at this hour with everyone fast asleep.*
**[04:18] Yume**
* What could possibly have*
* him pacing about like that?*
**[04:22] Yume**
* I'll just have to wait*
* until he's gone to bed...*
***SIGN*** April
**[04:37] Yume**
*No signs of movement.*
**[04:40] Yume**

**[05:12] Mizuto & Yume**
Huh?
**[05:15] Mizuto & Yume**
Ready, set, go!
**[05:17] Mizuto & Yume**
Rock, paper, scissors!
**[05:22] Mizuto**
You were the one who suggested
this family meeting, right?
**[05:25] Mizuto**
Come on. We said whoever
lost had to go first.
**[05:29] Mizuto**
Get on with it.
**[05:31] Yume**
It wasn't my fault.
**[05:33] Yume**
I just reverted to my old,
introverted ways is all.
**[05:37] Yume**
Had I been in my right mind, I wouldn't have
given your underwear a second thought.
**[05:41] Mizuto**
Your old, introverted self, huh?
**[05:44] Mizuto**
Sounds like you're saying this
**[05:46] ---**
would've been normal for you
back in middle school.
**[05:49] Mizuto**
You mind explaining yourself?
**[05:53] Yume**
Do I really have to explain that too?
**[05:56] Mizuto**
No withholding information
at times like this.
**[05:59] Mizuto**
We must wholly and truthfully reveal
our dirty secrets to one another.
**[06:03] Yume**
Well, this was back when we were dating,
**[06:08] Yume**
but I used to keep
the things you'd give me.
**[06:11] Yume**
I kept them in a little box.
**[06:22] Yume**
Hold on, are you blushing?
**[06:25] Mizuto**
Why would I be?
**[06:26] Yume**
Did that make you happy?
**[06:29] Yume**
The fact that I used to keep
the things you gave me?
**[06:32] Mizuto**
Why on earth would that make me happy?
**[06:34] Mizuto**
It's sickening. Absolutely revolting.
**[06:37] Mizuto**
In any event, look who's finally
decided to come clean.
**[06:41] Mizuto**
Though I'm sure you could've
kept it to yourself
**[06:44] Mizuto**
and cast the blame solely on me.
**[06:51] Mizuto**
Did you just think,
"Why didn't I think of that?"
**[06:54] Yume**
N-No, I didn't.
**[06:56] Yume**
It's just... Ah, yes! I wanted to play fair.
**[07:01] Mizuto**
I think somewhere deep down,
you wanted me to find out.
**[07:04] Mizuto**
Why not take the chance to confess?
**[07:06] Mizuto**
You actually *wanted* me to see
how perverted you are, right?
**[07:09] Yume**
Yeah, yeah. It's your turn now, isn't it?!
**[07:13] Mizuto**
Yes, well...
**[07:16] Mizuto**
How should I say this?
**[07:18] Mizuto**
Given my situation, I... don't think
you'd believe me even if I told you.
**[07:24] Mizuto**
It was an accident.
**[07:26] Mizuto**
Your bra fell on the floor,
so I picked it up,
**[07:28] Mizuto**
but then Dad walked in and...
**[07:34] (Flashback) Mizuto**
What's that?
**[07:41] (Flashback) Mineaki**
Oh, done with your bath already?
**[07:43] (Flashback) Mizuto**
Y-Yup!
**[07:45] Mizuto**
So, as you can see, I simply missed
my chance to put it back.
**[07:49] Yume**
Huh?! You scoundrel!
**[07:51] Yume**
There's no way something
that convenient happened!
**[07:55] Yume**
You just wanted my bra,
so you stole it, didn't you?
**[07:58] Mizuto**
I didn't steal it!
**[07:59] Mizuto**
And besides,
**[08:00] Mizuto**
you took my boxers back
to your room too, did you not?
**[08:03] Yume**
But that was...
**[08:05] Yume**
a-an accident.
**[08:06] Yume**
They fell on the floor, so I picked them up,
**[08:09] Yume**
but then Mom walked in and...
**[08:14] (Flashback) Yume**
What's that?
**[08:22] (Flashback) Yuni**
Oh, all done with your bath?
**[08:24] (Flashback) Yume**
Y-Yeah!
**[08:26] Yume**
So you could say I missed my chance.
**[08:30] Mizuto**
You just said the exact same thing I did.
**[08:32] Yume**
I-In any case...
**[08:34] Yume**
After you took my bra to your room,
**[08:36] ---**
you didn't d-do anything weird, did you?
**[08:39] Mizuto**
What do you mean by weird?
**[08:41] Yume**
W-Well, you know...
**[08:43] Mizuto**
Don't worry.
**[08:45] Mizuto**
All I did was move it to my room
and then here, to the living room.
**[08:49] Mizuto**
I swear to you, I didn't do anything else.
**[08:52] Yume**
Really?
**[08:54] Mizuto**
Really.
**[08:55] Yume**
Not even poke the cups?
**[08:59] Mizuto**
Absolutely not.
**[09:01] Yume**
You had to think about that!
**[09:02] Mizuto**
I said I didn't do it!
**[09:03] Mizuto**
I trust you didn't do anything weird
with my boxers either, then?
**[09:09] Mizuto**
Like smell them, for instance.
**[09:12] Yume**
I did not.
**[09:14] Mizuto**
You had to think about that.
**[09:16] Mizuto**
Forget it. We're in agreement, right?
**[09:18] Mizuto**
We mustn't speak of this incident ever again.
**[09:22] Yume**
Yes, that would be for the best.
**[09:27] Yume**
Now then, Mizuto-kun...
**[09:29] Mizuto**
What is it, Yume-san?
**[09:31] Yume**
We're both out of bounds, aren't we?
**[09:33] Mizuto**
You mean our little game? I'm aware.
**[09:36] Mizuto**
Normal siblings wouldn't abscond
with each other's underwear.
**[09:39] Yume**
Then it's time we made a deal.
**[09:42] Yume**
So, what shall I have you do for me,
little brother of mine?
**[09:46] Mizuto**
Don't think for a second I'll concede this,
my dear little sister.
**[09:57] Mizuto**
How about this for a deal?
**[09:59] Mizuto**
As long as it doesn't infringe
upon any social norms,
**[10:02] Mizuto**
we each get a demand.
**[10:04] Yume**
A demand?
**[10:06] Yume**
Very well. I can agree to that.
**[10:08] Mizuto**
Okay. It's a deal.
**[10:11] Mizuto**
Our parents will be up soon.
**[10:13] Mizuto**
Let's try to play our roles
as loving siblings again today.
**[10:18] Mizuto**
But outside of this house,
we can do whatever we please.

But wow! An after-school date
at Wicky-D's, huh?
**[11:25] Yume**
Irido-kun's not doing too bad for himself.
**[11:28] Yume**
I guess he can be pretty charming

My hands are full at the moment,
so can I ask you to go get it for me?

Oh, shut up.

Could you stop poking fun at me already?
**[12:43] Mizuto**
* I'll have you run an errand for me*
* in return, so that'll make us even, okay?*
**[12:47] Mizuto**
*So, what do you need me to pick up?*

*Let's see?*
**[12:51] Yume**
Uh, wait!
**[12:52] Yume**
I said lettuce! Lettuce and cheese!
**[12:55] Mizuto**
*Lettuce and cheese? All right...*
**[13:04] Yume**
*Sounds like he left.*
**[13:06] Yume**
*Now that girl should be alone in his room.*
**[13:10] Yume**
* I must warn her not to let a boy*
* lure her into his home so easily!*
**[13:26] Yume**
Why are *you* here?
**[13:28] Mizuto**
I could ask you the same thing.
**[13:29] Yume**
I thought you left just now...
**[13:32] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[13:37] Yume**
They're gone!
**[13:38] Yume**
The loafers are gone!
**[13:41] Mizuto**
What's with you all of a sudden?
**[13:43] Mizuto**
You're holding your loafers right now.
**[13:45] Yume**
These are mine!
**[13:47] Yume**
But forget that!
**[13:48] Yume**
You just sent away the girl you
brought home, didn't you?!
**[13:51] Mizuto**
Huh? What girl?
**[13:54] Mizuto**
I don't know what you're talking about.
**[13:57] Mizuto**
I've been alone all this—
**[13:58] Yume**
Don't play dumb with me!
**[13:59] Yume**
I saw a pair of girl's school shoes
by the door, plain as day.
**[14:03] Yume**
Here, I have proof.
**[14:10] Mizuto**
You just took that a minute ago, right?
**[14:12] Yume**
That's right.
**[14:14] Mizuto**
Why don't you go check your room?
**[14:17] Yume**
Huh?
**[14:17] Mizuto**
Just go check it, would you?
**[14:20] Yume**
Wh-What's gotten into you all of a sudden?
**[14:29] Yume**
There wasn't anything there.
**[14:32] Mizuto**
Are you sure?
**[14:33] Mizuto**
Nothing in your room whatsoever
had been tidied up or was out of place?
**[14:38] Yume**
Huh?
**[14:39] Yume**
You can't possibly be
suggesting paranormal activity.
**[14:43] Yume**
Out with it. Explain yourself already.
**[14:46] Yume**
Those shoes belonged to a girl
you brought home, didn't they?
**[14:50] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[14:51] Mizuto**
Oh. Yeah, yeah. That's right.
**[14:54] Mizuto**
You caught me. I'm busted.
**[14:56] Yume**
What?! That was quick... Wait a minute!
**[14:59] Mizuto**
What do you want? I'm exhausted.
**[15:02] Mizuto**
Don't you get it?
**[15:03] Yume**
E-Exhausted?
**[15:08] Mizuto**
Let's do this before my
stepsister gets home.
**[15:18] Yume**
Wh-Wh... What were you
doing in there with her?!
**[15:21] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[15:23] Mizuto**
Why do I have to explain
myself to you, Yume-san?
**[15:27] Mizuto**
Anyways...
**[15:28] Mizuto**
I'll be more careful next time.
Just forget about this, okay?
**[15:32] Mizuto**
Later.
**[15:50] Yume**
Seriously, did he forget where
his room is or something?
**[16:00] Yume**
Am I misunderstanding something here?
**[16:06] Yume**
* Am I just... making a big deal*
* out of nothing like I always do?*
**[16:30] Mizuto**
*There's no question.*
**[16:32] Mizuto**
*This is all* her *doing.*

Does this mean you like me?
**[17:28] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
Well, I wouldn't say I hate you.
**[17:31] (Flashback) Mizuto**
Huh? You don't hate me...
So you're willing to marry me?
**[17:36] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
Exactly!
**[17:37] (Flashback) Mizuto**
Why on earth do you want
to marry me, Minami-san?
**[17:41] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
Well, if you must know,
**[17:42] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
if you and I get married,
that'd make Yume-chan my sister!
**[17:46] (Flashback) Mizuto**
What?
**[17:47] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
She told me how valiantly she persevered

**[17:50] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
during the fitness test
despite her not being athletic.
**[17:54] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
And not just that! She's opened up
to me about all kinds of stuff.
**[17:58] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
I was convinced she was perfect,
**[18:00] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
but getting to know her made me
feel so much closer to her.
**[18:05] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
Honestly, she's quite the cheeky little
devil for making me feel this way.
**[18:11] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
If she became my older sister,
I'd wanna do so much for her.
**[18:16] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
Like wash her whole body
till it's sparkling clean.
**[18:19] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
And rub her up and down with
rose-scented body cream when we're done.
**[18:23] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
Then I'd help her into a dainty,
crystal-white negligee.
**[18:28] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
Oh, but so many choices!
**[18:30] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
I could just as easily put her in
Japanese attire after her bath!
**[18:33] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
Hang on! When we're sisters,
we'll be around each other 365 days a year.
**[18:38] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
We can alternate every other day!
**[18:40] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
Yup, yup, yup!
**[18:44] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
Hey, let's get married already.
**[18:47] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
I'm pretty loyal, you know?
**[18:50] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
So, Irido-kun...
**[18:51] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
Made up your mind yet?
**[18:54] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
Gosh, so this'll be my home too one day...
**[18:57] (Flashback) Akatsuki**
It'd be pretty cool to share
a room with Yume-chan.
**[19:03] Mizuto**
So that's what I've been dealing with.
**[19:06] Mizuto**
You've known her for a while,
right, Kawanami?
**[19:11] Mizuto**
Give it to me straight.
What kind of person is she?
**[19:14] Mizuto**
Intensely passionate with little
prospect of simmering down.
**[19:18] Mizuto**
Once she gets hooked on something,
it consumes her.
**[19:21] Mizuto**
And her infatuation only continues to boil.
**[19:24] Mizuto**
Until finally, one day...
**[19:29] Mizuto**
Kaboom!
**[19:30] Mizuto**
An explosive end.

Well...
**[19:36] Kogure**
I'm reluctant to throw her
under the bus like this,
**[19:39] Kogure**
but let me give you an example.
**[19:41] Kogure**
Back in middle school,
Minami had a boyfriend.
**[19:45] Mizuto**
*What?*
**[19:46] Kogure**
Some guys are idiots, you know?
**[19:48] Kogure**
As you might imagine,
she was exceptionally devoted.
**[19:52] Kogure**
They spent every waking moment together,
**[19:54] ---**
as she relentlessly tended to his every need.
**[19:57] Kogure**
And, of course, her boyfriend
was happy in the beginning.
**[20:00] Kogure**
It's great to have a girl you like,
especially a decently pretty one,
**[20:05] Kogure**
fawn over you like that.
**[20:08] Kogure**
No guy on the planet would argue with that.
**[20:12] Kogure**
But three months went by,
**[20:16] ---**
and do you know what happened?
**[20:19] Kogure**
He collapsed from stress
and was hospitalized.
**[20:24] Kogure**
And that's the frightening
thing about Minami Akatsuki.
**[20:29] Kogure**
That girl...
**[20:31] Kogure**
She'll dote on you,
tormenting you, plaguing you!
**[20:36] Kogure**
Until one day, it finally kills you.
**[20:40] Mizuto**
That all sounds a little far-fetched,
**[20:42] Mizuto**
although it's honestly
not that hard to imagine.
**[20:45] Kogure**
Well, as long as you
stand your ground with her,
**[20:48] Kogure**
you should be fine.
**[20:50] Kogure**
She may be persistent,
but don't go wavering on me, all right?
**[20:54] Kogure**
If she gets to be too much,
**[20:56] Kogure**
* we'll have to come up with*
* a more direct approach.*
**[21:00] Mizuto**
I'd rather have that sooner than later.
**[21:05] Kogure**
Very well.
**[21:06] Kogure**
All you have to do is get her to give
up on her obsession with Irido-san.
**[21:11] Kogure**
*And I already have a tactic in mind.*
**[21:14] Kogure**
Irido Mizuto, you must now go to
Irido-san and tell her this...
**[21:33] Yume**
What is it?
**[21:34] Mizuto**
I'd like to exercise your punishment now.
**[21:37] Yume**
My punishment?
**[21:38] Mizuto**
Right.
**[21:39] Mizuto**
For violating the norms of sibling behavior
**[21:42] Mizuto**
in light of the underwear incident.
**[21:44] Yume**
Oh, that?
**[21:46] Yume**
As long as it doesn't
infringe upon any social norms,
**[21:49] ---**
we each get to make a demand, correct?
**[21:51] Yume**
So, what is it you'd have me do?
**[22:00] Mizuto**
Go on a date with me tomorrow.

**[04:23] (Flashback) Kogure**
You with me, Irido?
**[04:25] (Flashback) Kogure**
Our mission on today's date
**[04:27] (Flashback) Kogure**
is to get the unrivaled lunatic Minami Akatsuki
**[04:30] (Flashback) Kogure**
to give up her obsession with Irido-san.
**[04:34] (Flashback) Kogure**
And so, fresh into high school,
**[04:36] (Flashback) Kogure**
we're gonna make Irido Yume's
brother complex a reality!
**[04:40] (Flashback) Kogure**
When Minami sees that Irido-san
only has eyes for you,
**[04:44] (Flashback) Kogure**
her impulsive dreams of marrying
into the family will be shattered.
**[04:48] (Flashback) Kogure**
Once she finds out the two
of you are going on a date,
**[04:52] (Flashback) Kogure**
she won't hesitate to come sneak a peek.
**[04:54] (Flashback) Kogure**
So don't let this opportunity go to waste.
**[04:58] (Flashback) Kogure**
You gotta whisk Irido-san off her feet.
**[05:00] (Flashback) Kogure**
Show Minami a couple madly in love,
and her heart'll just...
**[05:05] (Flashback) Kogure**
*snap* right in two.
**[05:07] (Flashback) Kogure**
Want some?
**[05:09] (Flashback) Mizuto**
I'll pass.
**[05:21] Mizuto**
*I get his logic.*
**[05:23] Mizuto**
*However...*
**[05:25] Mizuto**
*Since I can't tell her about Minami,*
**[05:28] Mizuto**
* there's no way for me*
* to explain the situation.*
**[05:31] Mizuto**
* I just have to play the jerk*
* trying to win back*
**[05:35] Mizuto**
* the ex he broke up with*
* once the honeymoon phase was over.*
**[05:40] Mizuto**
*Kill me now.*
**[05:42] (Flashback) Kogure**
Listen good, Irido.
**[05:43] (Flashback) Kogure**
What I'm about to tell you is invaluable.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Kogure**
You must always compliment
a girl's outfit. Always.
**[05:53] Mizuto**
* I've confirmed my target's location*
* and I'm ready for action.*
**[05:57] Mizuto**
* I'll strike now and, with any luck,*
* the attack will hit Minami too.*
**[06:03] Mizuto**
* Actually, doesn't she seem a*
* little livelier than usual?*
**[06:10] Yume**
Hey...
**[06:11] Mizuto**
Wh-What's up?
**[06:13] Yume**
Did you know this fish tank
is famous for its size?
**[06:17] Mizuto**
Y-Yeah, it does seem pretty big.
**[06:21] Mizuto**
*Damn it. I lost my nerve.*
**[06:24] Mizuto**
*This is way out of my comfort zone.*
**[06:26] Mizuto**
*Ergo, I blame Kawanami.*
**[06:29] Kogure**
*What I'm about to tell you is invaluable.*
**[06:32] Kogure**
* You must always compliment*
* a girl's outfit. Always.*
**[06:38] Mizuto**
You look...
**[06:40] Mizuto**
strangely cute today, huh?
**[06:44] Mizuto**
*I-I messed up.*
**[06:46] Mizuto**
*I accidentally deployed my usual sarcasm!*
**[06:49] Mizuto**
*This is bad!*
**[06:51] Yume**
Th...
**[06:52] Yume**
Thank you.
**[06:56] Mizuto**
*Hold up.*
**[06:57] Mizuto**
*Wait, wait, wait, wait!*
**[06:59] Mizuto**
*That is* not *the response
of a girl who's dated before.*
**[07:03] Mizuto**
* More like a middle schooler*
* talking to their first crush!*
**[07:06] Mizuto**
*Get it together, Miss High School Debut!*
**[07:11] Mizuto**
* I guess I'll just have*
* to show you how it's done.*
**[07:21] Mizuto**
S-Sure...
**[07:26] Kogure**
See? Like a house on fire, aren't they?
**[07:30] Akatsuki**
Are they?
**[07:49] Male Attendee**
Oh, excuse us.
**[07:49] Child**
Look at the fishies!
**[07:51] Mizuto**
They didn't bump into you, did they?
**[07:53] Yume**
*Hang on! He's so close!*
**[07:55] Yume**
*And he smells so nice!*
**[07:57] Yume**
*Gimme a break! What's with him today?!*
**[08:00] Yume**
*Such a gentlemen! And so sweet!*
**[08:03] Yume**
* His every move has me*
* feeling weak in the knees...*
**[08:09] Yume**
How long do you plan on holding my shoulder?
**[08:12] Mizuto**
O-Oh, my bad.
**[08:14] Mizuto**
There are a lot of people
around, so stay close.
**[08:17] Yume**
You needn't keep reminding me, you know?
**[08:20] Yume**
I'm not a child.
**[08:23] Mizuto**
You're right.
**[08:26] Mizuto**
*Huh?*
**[08:27] Mizuto**
* I thought my response sounded*
* pretty snarky just now.*
**[08:31] Mizuto**
*Where's his comeback? The snide retort?*
**[08:34] Mizuto**
* Did you leave your stock*
* contemptuous laugh at home?*
**[08:40] Mizuto**
* When I look at the tank,*
* she sneaks a glance at me.*
**[08:44] Mizuto**
* And when I pull her close*
* to keep her from getting bumped,*
**[08:47] Mizuto**
*her gaze turns into a piercing glare.*
**[08:51] Mizuto**
*Even now...*
**[08:53] Mizuto**
*she's still staring at me.*
**[08:55] Mizuto**
*Why are dates... such a struggle?*
**[09:04] Mizuto**
You sound like a pig, you know?
**[09:05] Kogure**
Oink!
**[09:07] Mizuto**
Help me, Kawanami.
We look so awkward together.
**[09:11] Kogure**
Really? Is that how it looks to you?
**[09:15] Mizuto**
*Of course it does. I'm not blind.*
**[09:18] Kogure**
Well, I *will* say this...
**[09:22] Kogure**
I'll leave the judgment calls
to the man on the front line.
**[09:25] Mizuto**
*Hey, quit making me do all the work.*
**[09:27] Mizuto**
*Hold up your end of the bargain, Commander!*
**[09:34] Mizuto**
* Whatever the circumstances,*
* I'm the one who asked her out.*
**[09:37] Mizuto**
* I shouldn't do anything that*
* might jeopardize our date.*
**[09:42] Mizuto**
*Still...*
**[09:43] Mizuto**
* This is on her for making friends*
* with an unrepentant menace.*
**[09:48] Mizuto**
* Why am I bending over backward*
* for someone who isn't even my girlfriend?*
**[09:57] Yume**
*I've made three miscalculations.*
**[09:59] Yume**
* First, the line for the girl's bathroom*
* was so long that I didn't want to wait,*
**[10:04] Yume**
* but when I went to look for another one,*
* it was farther away than I thought.*
**[10:09] Yume**
* Second, the aquarium's layout is*
* far more complicated than I thought.*
**[10:12] Yume**
*And lastly, I'm terrible at reading maps.*
**[10:17] Yume**
*All this is to say...*
**[10:19] Yume**
*As hard as it is to admit, I'm lost.*

* Here I am becoming a burden*
* to him all over again...*
**[12:06] Yume**
* Looking back, I can only describe*
* it as a youthful indiscretion.*
**[12:10] Yume**
* But from my second to third*
* year of middle school,*
**[12:14] Yume**
*I had what you might call a boyfriend.*
**[12:18] Yume**
*Before we officially started dating,*
**[12:21] Yume**
* we only ever spoke when we saw*
* each other in the school library.*
**[12:25] Yume**
*But one day, I mustered all my courage*
**[12:28] Yume**
* and asked someone out for*
* the first time in my life.*
**[12:32] Yume**
* The local festival we visited was far*
* more crowded than we expected.*
**[12:37] Yume**
*We ended up getting separated.*
**[12:40] Yume**
* I made a fool of myself*
* on my very first date.*
**[12:43] Yume**
* Between knowing each precious moment*
* that passed was wasted time*
**[12:46] Yume**
* and the pain from the unforgiving straps*
* on my geta sandals,*
**[12:50] Yume**
* I've never wanted to disappear*
* more in my entire life.*
**[12:54] Yume**
*Through all my sniffling and whimpering,*
**[12:57] Yume**
*I apologized to him profusely over the phone.*
**[13:00] Yume**
*But he just told me to "stay put"*
**[13:03] Yume**
*before hanging up.*
**[13:05] Yume**
* I was always clumsy and inelegant.*
* A failure at everything I did.*
**[13:10] Yume**
*And I always resented myself for it.*
**[13:13] Yume**
*But I never wanted to be a burden to others.*
**[13:16] Yume**
* At the very least, I didn't want the guy*
* I liked to think I was a burden.*
**[13:21] Yume**
* But I got greedy, carried away,*
* and overconfident.*
**[13:25] Yume**
*And that was the price I paid.*
**[13:28] Yume**
* When all I could think was that the*
* world would be better off without me,*
**[13:35] Yume**
*he reached out to offer me a drink*
**[13:40] Yume**
*and said this to me...*
**[13:44] (Flashback) Mizuto**
You know, Ayai,
**[13:45] (Flashback) Mizuto**
I'm honestly pretty worn out after
having to find you in this crowd.
**[13:51] (Flashback) Mizuto**
And listening to all that crying over the phone
**[13:54] (Flashback) Mizuto**
left me pretty drained mentally too.
**[13:56] (Flashback) Mizuto**
But you know what?
**[13:58] (Flashback) Mizuto**
None of that changes how I think of you.
**[14:03] (Flashback) Mizuto**
I already knew you can be clumsy
and a little inelegant sometimes.
**[14:07] (Flashback) Mizuto**
And today, I learned you get lost easily too.
**[14:10] (Flashback) Mizuto**
But even knowing all of that,
I'm not going anywhere.
**[14:14] (Flashback) Mizuto**
So you don't have to be afraid.
**[14:16] (Flashback) Mizuto**
No matter what...
**[14:25] Yume**
I wanna go home...
**[14:38] Mizuto**
*So you don't have to be afraid.*
**[14:41] Mizuto**
*No matter what...*
**[14:43] Mizuto**
*you can always rely on me.*
**[15:00] Mizuto**
I have come to collect you, my lady.
**[15:04] Mizuto**
I daresay it might behoove you
to improve your sense of direction.
**[15:11] Yume**
What was that?
**[15:13] Yume**
Your sense of humor never ceases to amaze me.
**[15:15] Mizuto**
What did you just say?
**[15:17] Mizuto**
All right, I've got it.
**[15:19] Mizuto**
We settle this with a bibliobattle.
**[15:21] Mizuto**
Let's do this.
**[15:22] Yume**
Then I'll go first.
**[15:25] Yume**
*The Nonserial Murders* by Sakaguchi Ango.
**[15:28] Mizuto**
Then I'll go next.
**[15:30] Mizuto**
"The Dancing Girl" by Mori Ogai.
**[15:31] Yume**
Don't you dare remind me
about that scumbag Toyotaro!
**[15:35] Mizuto**
Last I checked, *The Nonserial Murders*
is a parade of scumbags.
**[15:39] Yume**
Most of them die in the end, so who cares?
**[15:41] Mizuto**
Oh?
**[15:42] Mizuto**
So what?
**[15:43] Mizuto**
It's all good as long as
the bad guys kick the bucket?
**[15:43] Akatsuki**
They seem like they're having fun.
**[15:45] Yume**
That's not what I meant.
**[15:50] Yume**
Can't you just imagine dead
bodies floating around in there?
**[15:54] Mizuto**
Should we move this date to a mental
institution, Miss Mystery Buff?
**[15:57] Yume**
Come on. Don't tell me you don't see it.
**[16:01] Yume**
Amongst the gracefully drifting jellyfish,
**[16:04] Yume**
broken remains of corpses
gently sway to and fro...
**[16:08] Yume**
What a mystery that would make.
**[16:11] Mizuto**
Never in my wildest dreams have
I had such a disturbing thought.
**[16:15] Mizuto**
The best twist I can conceive is that
**[16:17] Mizuto**
some man-eating shark
appeared in the Kamo River
**[16:20] Mizuto**
and devoured each and every couple
that dared to sit on its banks.
**[16:25] Yume**
Your idea sounds way more disturbing!
**[16:27] Yume**
Besides, there's no way a shark could
swim in such a shallow river.
**[16:31] Mizuto**
Sharks possess limitless ability,
so it's quite possible.
**[16:35] Yume**
No, they don't. They're fish.
**[16:37] Mizuto**
All right, then.
Why don't we test that theory?
**[16:40] Mizuto**
I can't wait to see you cower in fear,
**[16:44] Mizuto**
helpless but to bow down to
the shark's infinite power.
**[16:47] Yume**
What makes you so confident?
**[16:50] Yume**
You sound more arrogant than a serial
killer with a mythological sobriquet
**[16:54] Yume**
announcing his next crime.
**[16:55] Mizuto**
What'd you say, stupid nerd?
**[16:57] Yume**
You got a problem, stupid geek?
**[17:03] Mizuto**
* In the six months since*
* our problems started,*
**[17:06] Mizuto**
* I slowly began to hate*
* her as the days went by.*
**[17:10] Mizuto**
* Everything she did and everything she*
* said started getting on my nerves.*
**[17:16] Mizuto**
*That was the most painful part of it.*
**[17:20] Mizuto**
*What I'd loved about her more than anything...*
**[17:22] Mizuto**
*What I'd so cherished about her...*
**[17:24] Mizuto**
* One after the other, my love for them*
* turned to hatred. It was torment.*
**[17:31] Mizuto**
*That's why we broke up.*
**[17:36] Mizuto**
*And so...*
**[17:38] Mizuto**
* now freed from the romantic*
* bond that once held us,*
**[17:41] Mizuto**
* we have no obligation to*
* try to love one another,*
**[17:44] Mizuto**
*and no reason to come to hate one another.*
**[17:47] Mizuto**
* We're just stepsiblings who used*
* to date once upon a time.*
**[17:52] Mizuto**
*Yes, I understand now.*
**[17:55] Mizuto**
* Our situation now is a blessing compared*
* to the unhealthy relationship we had before.*
**[18:03] Yume**
All right, I'll head home first.
**[18:06] Mizuto**
Sure.
**[18:10] Mizuto**
* Going home separately thus*
* concludes our date at the aquarium.*
**[18:15] Mizuto**
*All that's left is...*

**[18:37] Akatsuki**
I'm sorry!

I really shouldn't have snuck

**[18:41] Akatsuki**
I didn't mean any harm.
**[18:43] Akatsuki**
You forgot to lock the front door,

**[19:00] Mizuto**
Don't worry. I won't.
**[19:02] Mizuto**
As long as you promise to behave.
**[19:03] Akatsuki**
What? But why?
**[19:06] Mizuto**
Because you're her friend
and you mean a lot to her.
**[19:14] Akatsuki**
So that's it.
**[19:18] Akatsuki**
I'm not gonna thank you, you know.
**[19:19] Mizuto**
You had better.
**[19:20] Mizuto**
You should be on your knees right now.
**[19:29] Mizuto**
By the way...
**[19:31] Mizuto**
What exactly made you think to leave
an extra chair at our dining table?
**[19:37] Akatsuki**
What are you talking about?
**[19:39] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[19:42] Akatsuki**
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. It was a joke!
**[19:44] Mizuto**
Hey...
**[19:45] Akatsuki**
It was just a little make-believe, you know?
**[19:48] Akatsuki**
Man, I'm really sorry about that!
**[19:50] Akatsuki**
From now on, I'll behave
**[19:52] ---**
and shamelessly invite myself
over as her dear friend.
**[19:55] Mizuto**
Hey now.
**[19:56] Mizuto**
You clearly haven't given backing off
**[19:59] ---**
even the slightest thought, have you?
**[20:02] Akatsuki**
About that...
**[20:04] Akatsuki**
I still plan on marrying you and
living together, you hear?
**[20:06] Mizuto**
Haven't given up on that, huh?
**[20:09] Akatsuki**

While we're at it, I'm willing to take
one more request if you'd like.
**[21:46] Yume**
O-Okay, then...
**[21:49] Yume**
Would you hug me from behind
and whisper something in my ear?
**[21:55] Mizuto**
What kind of request is that?
**[21:58] Yume**
It's your punishment!
**[21:59] Yume**
It has nothing to do with my
own fantasies whatsoever!
**[22:22] Mizuto**
I've caught you.
**[22:36] Yume**
You caught me.
**[22:42] Akatsuki**

**[22:44] Yume**
Good morning, Minami-san.
**[22:46] Akatsuki**
What didja do last Saturday?
**[22:48] Akatsuki**
I basically slept the entire day.
**[22:51] Yume**
I didn't really do anything special either.
**[22:53] Yume**
Just stayed home and read a book.
**[22:55] Akatsuki**
You don't say...
**[22:57] Kogure**
And with that, I'd say case closed.
**[22:57] Akatsuki**
What kind of books do you
read? Like what genre?
**[23:01] Mizuto**
It's still wide open if you ask me.
**[23:01] Yume**
I like mystery novels.
**[23:04] Kogure**
Well, if she does anything weird
again, just come talk to me.
**[23:09] Kogure**

Pardon my asking, Kawanami, but...
**[23:18] Mizuto**
Have you ever been hospitalized?
**[23:25] Kogure**
Sure have.
**[23:26] Kogure**
Back in middle school, to be exact.
**[23:30] Kogure**
We both have it rough, don't we?
**[23:32] Mizuto**
You might be right.
**[23:35] Yume**
I'll bring it with me tomorrow.

I don't see why we need to go

I'd have thought gawking at your sister

constituted breaking the rules,

**[04:18] Mizuto**
It's so crowded.

It's always like this on weekends.
**[04:22] Yume**
I guess you wouldn't know
since you stay cooped up.

I stay cooped up *because*

**[06:09] Mizuto**
Yeah...
**[06:57] Mizuto**
Did you come to watch?
**[07:03] Yume**
I'm sorry.
**[07:05] Yume**
The door was open, so I was just curious...
**[07:09] Yume**
You said you didn't remember much
about your mother, right?
**[07:12] Mizuto**
Well, she died when I was very little.
**[07:16] Mizuto**
I only know her face from this picture.
**[07:21] Mizuto**
I see.
**[07:27] Mizuto**
What are you doing?
**[07:30] Yume**
Supporting you.
**[07:33] Yume**
I am your older sister today, after all.
**[07:38] Mizuto**
I guess I signed up for this,
so I can't complain.
**[07:42] Mizuto**
"If you're going to eat poison,
might as well lick the plate."
**[07:45] Yume**
Did you just call me poison?
**[07:53] Yume**
By the way, giving that
present today got me thinking.
**[07:57] Yume**
This would be for both of our parents, but...
**[08:02] Yume**
I was wondering if we could give them
some alone time somehow.
**[08:05] Yume**
Alone time?
**[08:07] Mizuto**
They're newlyweds,
**[08:08] ---**
but they barely get to spend
any time as a couple, don't you think?
**[08:13] Mizuto**
I bet they're just trying
to be considerate of us.
**[08:16] Yume**
I'm impressed.
**[08:18] Yume**
I didn't think you were capable
of such noble consideration.
**[08:22] Mizuto**
Just how little do you think of me?
**[08:26] Yume**
Well, we could pay for them
to eat out or go travel somewhere.
**[08:30] Yume**
But that's way out of budget
with our allowance.
**[08:34] Mizuto**
Then let's think of it a different way.
**[08:37] Mizuto**
How about we go stay
overnight somewhere instead?
**[08:42] Yume**
Huh?
**[08:44] Yume**
Hold it! Why would we do that?
**[08:47] Mizuto**
Why? We want to give
our parents time alone, right?
**[08:50] Mizuto**
They deserve more than
just a few hours, don't you think?
**[08:55] Yume**
You're right.
**[08:57] Yume**
B-But a boy and a girl...
staying somewhere overnight...
**[09:03] Mizuto**
Don't tell me you think
we'll be staying together.
**[09:06] Yume**
Huh? We're not?
**[09:08] Mizuto**
Please...
**[09:09] Mizuto**
Internet cafes only allow couples
18 and up to stay the night.
**[09:13] Mizuto**
And we'd need parental permission
to stay at a hotel or an inn.
**[09:17] Yume**
R-Right...
**[09:20] Mizuto**
Well, there is *one* place that'd let
two high schoolers stay the night.
**[09:25] Yume**
There is? Where?
**[09:30] Mizuto**
A love hotel.
**[09:32] Yume**
A... A l-l-love... love...
**[09:35] Mizuto**
Apparently we can stay as long
as they don't figure out our ages.
**[09:39] Mizuto**
You in?
**[09:40] Yume**
O-O-Of course I'm not!
**[09:43] Mizuto**
I figured.
**[09:45] Mizuto**
The rates were a little pricey
when I checked earlier anyway.
**[09:49] Yume**
So you planned on us spending the
night together if they weren't?!
**[09:53] Mizuto**
As a last resort.
**[09:56] Yume**
A last resort?
**[09:59] Yume**
Now I'm *definitely* not in!

About our conversation yesterday...
**[10:12] Mizuto**
I was able to secure a place for us to stay.
***SIGN*** I'd like to give my parents some alone time.
Could you help us out?
***SIGN*** Read
***SIGN*** Kawanami
***SIGN*** Sure thing. You can stay at my place
if you want.
***SIGN*** Kawanami
***SIGN*** Kawanami

***SIGN*** And Irido-san can stay at Minami's!
***SIGN*** She lives right next door, so you'll

I had no idea those two
were next-door neighbors.
***SIGN*** My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex
**[10:41] Akatsuki**
It was your idea for both of you
to stay over, right, Irido-kun?
**[10:46] Akatsuki**
I gotta thank you.
**[10:47] Akatsuki**
Spending the night with Yume-chan,
just the two of us...
**[10:50] Akatsuki**
It's like a dream come true!
**[10:52] Mizuto**
Remember to behave yourself, Minami-san.
**[10:55] Akatsuki**
Don't you worry!
**[10:57] Kogure**
All right, let the man go already.
**[10:59] Kogure**
Don't you see you're treading in
boys-only territory here?
**[11:03] Akatsuki**
"Boys-only"? Get over yourself.
**[11:06] Kogure**
Aren't you forgetting something?
**[11:07] Akatsuki**
Like what?
**[11:08] Kogure**
Your little princess over there
is getting lonely.
**[11:19] Akatsuki**
I'm sorry!
**[11:20] Akatsuki**
I promise never to leave your
side ever again, Yume-chan!
**[11:24] Yume**
That's all right, Akatsuki-san.
**[11:26] Yume**
Let's leave my little brother
over there and hurry inside.
**[11:36] Akatsuki**
All right, Kawanami.
**[11:37] Akatsuki**
This is a girls-only zone, so don't
even think about bothering us.
**[11:40] Kogure**
You don't have to tell me.
There's no way I'd set foot in your place.
**[11:45] Yume**
Say, Akatsuki-san...
**[11:47] Yume**
What exactly is your relationship
with Kawanami-kun?
**[11:50] Akatsuki**
Oh, nothing you need to worry about, really.
**[11:53] Akatsuki**
We're next-door neighbors...
**[11:55] Kogure**
...who just happen to have hung out with
each other since elementary school.
**[12:00] Mizuto**
So you're childhood friends.
**[12:02] Kogure**
That title is reserved for people
who *remain* close, in the present tense.
**[12:08] Mizuto**
You two seem pretty close to me.
**[12:11] Kogure**
The word "astronomical" doesn't
even begin to describe
**[12:16] Kogure**
the distance between me and her.
**[12:19] Mizuto**
And yet...
***SIGN*** Kawanami
**[12:21] Mizuto**
as for the physical distance between you...
***SIGN*** Minami
**[12:25] Mizuto**
you're next-door neighbors.
**[12:28] Mizuto**
That must be hell on earth.
**[12:30] Kogure**
Damn straight.
**[12:32] Mizuto**
Looks like you've got a lot going on.
**[12:34] Mizuto**
Well, I'll be the last person
to pry into someone else's business.
**[12:37] Kogure**
That's great, 'cause I'll be the first.
**[12:40] Kogure**
So, how far have you gone with Irido-san?
**[12:42] Mizuto**
Have some decency, would you?
**[12:45] Kogure**
I'll be blunt.
**[12:47] Kogure**
Have you ever seen her boobs?
**[12:49] Mizuto**
Give me a break!
**[12:50] Mizuto**
Even if I *had*, you think I'd tell *you* that?
**[12:55] Kogure**
Interesting...
**[12:56] Kogure**
Very interesting!
**[12:58] Kogure**
So Yume's boobs are for your eyes only.
**[13:01] Kogure**
Is what you're saying, right, Irido?!
**[13:07] Akatsuki**
Stop, Yume-chan! Stop!
**[13:10] Akatsuki**

it's only a matter of time before one gives out!

There's no way I'm taking this lying down.

Hey!
***SIGN*** When I Grow Up
by Kawanami Kogure
When I grow up, I want to be a police officer.
I'll become a strong policeman. That way...
I can marry Akatsuki-chan and always keep her safe.
**[13:31] Mizuto**
"When I Grow Up," huh? What a lovely title.
**[13:35] Kogure**
N-Not that!

Anything but that, Irido!

Wait! Stop, Akatsuki-san! Stop!

Something cracked!
I swear I heard something crack!
**[14:04] Akatsuki**
Kawanami!
**[14:04] Yume**
Try to calm down!
**[14:05] Akatsuki**
I told you to throw that out, didn't I?!
**[14:07] Yume**
Knock it off already!
**[14:08] Akatsuki**
Now Yume-chan of all people heard it!
**[14:10] Kogure**
You think I wanted this?!
**[14:12] Akatsuki**
It's your fault for making stupid
jokes in the first place, dummy!
**[14:16] Kogure**
Shut it, dingus!
**[14:18] Kogure**
Did no one ever tell you to treat others
the way you want to be treated?

And you're telling me you two aren't close?

have you to visit a restaurant like this?

Are you... for real?
**[16:03] Yume**
Now it's your turn to try.
Let your heart lead the way.
**[16:08] Mizuto**
Bring it on!
**[16:12] Akatsuki**
Sorry, Yume-chan!
**[16:14] Akatsuki**
I wasn't serious when I said
to mix the drinks at the fountain.
**[16:17] Akatsuki**
It was a joke!
**[16:18] Yume**
Are you... serious right now?
**[16:22] Kogure**
Looks like you got Mizuto fooled too!
**[16:26] Akatsuki**
Wow, like peas in a pod!

It's almost like you two are siblings!

Like you two bosom buddies can talk!
**[16:35] Akatsuki**
That was great!
**[16:38] Akatsuki**
Say, Irido-kun.
**[16:40] Akatsuki**
You're good at Japanese, right?
**[16:42] Akatsuki**
Mind tutoring me later?
**[16:45] Akatsuki**
Midterms are coming up, you know?
**[16:47] Mizuto**
Is the snuggling necessary?
**[16:49] Akatsuki**
I gotta make Yume-chan so jealous that
she begs me to snuggle up to her instead.
**[16:54] Mizuto**
That's just plain dirty.
**[16:56] Mizuto**
If you need a tutor,
you should ask her instead.
**[17:00] Yume**
Me?
**[17:01] Mizuto**
Yeah. You're better suited
to teaching than I'll ever be.
**[17:07] Mizuto**
So dedicated to your studies.
**[17:09] Yume**
How smart of you to notice.
**[17:11] Mizuto**
Of course!
**[17:12] Mizuto**
You actually have to work hard to succeed,
**[17:15] Mizuto**
whereas I attain good grades
with very little effort.
**[17:18] Mizuto**
I'd hardly be an effective tutor.
**[17:20] Yume**
What's your problem?!
**[17:22] Yume**
Is it your life's work to piss me off?!
**[17:25] Akatsuki**
Touché, Irido-kun.
**[17:27] Akatsuki**
Didn't think you'd take advantage of
the situation to one-up me like that.
***SIGN*** All Irido's been doing is studying for midterms.
I'm so bored! So much for "very little effort"

***SIGN*** Akatsuki
***SIGN*** Huh? Aren't you studying too, Kawanami?
Me and Yume-chan are
***SIGN*** Yume
***SIGN*** Kawanami-kun, we don't go to just any old school.
Think back on how hard the entrance exam was
**[17:51] Kogure**
Say, Irido...
**[17:53] Kogure**
How hard do you think exams are...
**[17:55] Mizuto**
Hard.
**[17:56] Mizuto**
So hard that someone like me, who prides
himself on not trying, actually has to try.
**[18:02] Kogure**
For real?
**[18:04] Mizuto**
For real.
**[18:07] Kogure**
So the freedom I was promised
after I got in was all a lie!
**[18:11] Mizuto**
Well, I suppose you don't have to try
if you're okay with any old passing grade.
**[18:16] Kogure**
Huh?
**[18:18] Kogure**
So why are you studying so hard, Irido?
**[18:23] Mizuto**
I can't go losing to my little sister, can I?
**[18:29] Kogure**
You two are something else.
**[18:32] Kogure**
I've never felt compelled to
face off with someone like that.
**[18:36] Mizuto**
Really?
**[18:37] Mizuto**
From what I saw today, you two
seemed pretty competitive to me.
**[18:42] Kogure**
But we're too concerned about appearances
to butt heads as openly as you do.
**[18:48] Kogure**
I'm exhausted just thinking
about keeping that up.
**[18:51] Mizuto**
The way I see it, at least you
two have some sense of decorum.
**[18:55] Kogure**
The grass is always greener
on the other side, I guess.
**[18:59] Mizuto**
Look at you, spouting proverbs.
And you were worried about studying.
**[19:04] Kogure**
When life gives you lemons,
make lemonade, right?
**[19:08] Kogure**
All right. Guess I'll try cracking a book too.
**[19:11] Kogure**
Now that I think about it,
**[19:13] Kogure**
it might be nice to do better than Minami.
**[19:15] Mizuto**
That's the spirit. You got this.
**[19:17] Kogure**
That was your invitation
to tutor me, Mr. Smartypants!

**[19:48] Mizuto**
Are you really that embarrassed
I caught you standing there gaping?
**[19:52] Yume**
Do you really have to state the obvious?!
**[19:54] Mizuto**
I never knew you were into
wearing such cutesy pajamas.
**[20:00] Mizuto**
It must be tough holding back with me around.
**[20:03] Yume**
I'm only wearing this because
Akatsuki-san forced me to!
**[20:06] Mizuto**
It's okay, it's okay. I think it's cute.
**[20:10] Mizuto**
In a dorky way.
**[20:11] Yume**
I heard that!
**[20:24] Yume**
The moon is beautiful, isn't it?
**[20:27] Mizuto**
You remember? That time on the school trip?
**[20:31] Yume**
Like I could forget.
**[20:33] Yume**
Not after somebody dared
to use such a pretentious come-on.
**[20:37] Mizuto**
It's bad form to harp on a
man's youthful indiscretions.
**[20:42] Yume**
What would you do if I told you
that's when I started liking you?
**[20:46] Mizuto**
There'd be no point.
**[20:48] Mizuto**
What would it change?
**[20:51] Yume**
You're right.
**[20:53] Yume**
I wouldn't call what I felt
back then "liking you" anyway.
**[20:56] Mizuto**
But you did feel something?
**[20:59] Yume**
Forget I said anything.
**[21:04] Mizuto**
Why bring that up all of a sudden anyway?
**[21:08] Yume**
No reason.
**[21:10] Yume**
It's just... Akatsuki-san and Kawanami-kun
today had me thinking.
**[21:14] Yume**
I wonder if there's meaning in all
that time they've spent together.
**[21:18] Mizuto**
All that time, huh?
**[21:22] Mizuto**
I'm sure those two would have
things to say about that.
**[21:25] Mizuto**
It's not like you and I have to go out of
our way to spend time together anyway.
**[21:32] Mizuto**
As long as our parents stay together, that is.
**[21:37] Yume**
You think they'll ever split up?
**[21:41] Mizuto**
Not really.
**[21:43] Mizuto**
I think we're stuck as stepsiblings
until the end of time.
**[21:50] Yume**
Kinda sucks, doesn't it?
**[21:53] Mizuto**
You're telling me.
**[21:57] Mizuto**
Did you have fun today?
**[22:00] Yume**
Yeah, thanks.
**[22:03] Mizuto**
You're welcome.

Aw, really?

No sulking, Aki.

You'll make her feel bad.

I wonder how good the seat
at the top of the class feels.
**[04:12] Yume**
I'm afraid that seat is in
my name at the moment.
**[04:17] Mizuto**
Then I'll just have to
reserve it for next time.
**[04:21] Yume**
I see.
**[04:22] Yume**
So you plan on getting
in my way again, do you?
**[04:26] Yume**
I say go for it.

Is getting the top score
really so important to you?
**[04:49] Yume**
Of course it is.
**[04:51] Yume**
Getting the top score
on the entrance exam.
**[04:53] Yume**
Staying at the top of my year.
**[04:55] Yume**
These are the reasons my
life is the way it is now.

Still...
**[05:39] Yume**
Japanese is one of his better subjects.
**[05:42] Yume**
If he were to get full marks, six points
would be a significant gap.
**[05:48] Yume**
That's *assuming* he gets full marks, anyway.
**[05:51] Yume**
And right now, I have no way of confirming.
**[06:17] Yume**
Why did you leave the last section blank?
**[06:23] Yume**
There's no way you didn't know
the answer to these questions, correct?
**[06:28] Mizuto**
I didn't have time.
**[06:32] Yume**
I saw you stop writing ten
minutes before time was up!
**[06:37] Yume**
Do you think I'm stupid?!
**[06:39] Yume**
You're holding back so I can
get the top spot, aren't you?
**[06:42] Yume**
Did you think that'd make me happy?
Don't be ridiculous!
**[06:45] Yume**
What was all that talk earlier?
**[06:47] Yume**
Are you implying that I'd lose
to you if you *didn't* hold back?!
**[06:51] Yume**
Do you think I'm stupid?!
**[06:52] Yuni**
H-Hey... What's the matter, Yume?
**[06:54] Yume**
Did you really think it'd be
heroic of you to let me win?!
**[06:57] Yume**
You're just belittling my intellect!
**[07:00] Yume**

Calm down, Yume! What's going on?
**[07:08] Mizuto**
What gives?
**[07:10] Yuni**
Huh?
**[07:11] Mizuto**
Getting the top spot is
important to you, isn't it?
**[07:14] Mizuto**
You said so yourself.
**[07:16] Mizuto**
So I left some of them blank.
**[07:17] Mizuto**
What's wrong with that?
**[07:19] Yuni**
Oh no. Not you too, Mizuto-kun...

For this is one of the few topics

**[12:35] Mizuto**
I've never seen someone so

**[12:38] Mizuto**
This is definitely a first.
**[12:42] Isana**
I mean, just think about it.
**[12:44] Isana**
It all depends on where you
set the friend bar.
**[12:47] Isana**
Consider my classmate on day duty who made
sure I turned in my homework this morning.
**[12:52] Isana**
I could call them a friend
if I set the bar there.

Stop being arbitrary with the friend bar.
**[12:58] Isana**
Conversely, say someone I'm
close to is getting bullied.

and take the heat off myself!
**[13:07] Isana**

**[13:09] Mizuto**
I don't think someone like you will
be making friends any time soon.
**[13:12] Isana**
But I consider you a friend, Mizuto-kun.
**[13:16] Isana**

**[19:43] Yume**
Until the very end, I always
called you by your family name.
**[19:47] Yume**
But she's already calling you "Mizuto."
**[19:50] Yume**
The more I thought about it,
the less I liked it.
**[19:55] Yume**
But we're siblings, so I don't
have a reason to be jealous.
**[20:00] Yume**
So that's why...
**[20:03] Mizuto**

You too, right?
**[22:56] Yume**
Of course. Assuming
she *was* interested, that is.
**[23:01] Isana**
Well, Mizuto-kun, I'm going this way.
**[23:04] Mizuto**
Okay. See you tomorrow, then.
**[23:07] Isana**
Right!
**[23:09] Isana**
A-A-And a-also...
**[23:13] Isana**
F-Farewell to you too!
**[23:18] Mizuto**
You did great.
**[23:27] Akatsuki**
So, Yume-chan...
**[23:29] Akatsuki**
About what you just said...
**[23:31] Akatsuki**
You're still game to help
Higashira-san out, right?
**[23:35] Yume**
Huh?

**[00:01] Yume**
*When I made my confession...*
**[00:03] Yume**
* We'd been spending every day of summer*
* break together at the school library.*
**[00:07] Yume**
* On the last day before second term,*
* I professed my feelings in a love letter.*
**[00:11] Yume**
* It's customary to leave such letters*
* in the recipient's shoe cubby.*
**[00:17] Yume**
*Naturally, that was my intention.*
**[00:20] Yume**
* However, when the time finally came,*
* I lost my nerve.*
**[00:24] Yume**
*And before I could recover, he walked in.*
**[00:27] Yume**
*All I could do was watch as he changed shoes.*
**[00:31] Yume**
* My mind raced as we made*
* our way to the library together.*
**[00:35] Yume**
"What do I do?
Should I try again tomorrow?"
**[00:38] Yume**
* "No, I can't. This is the*
* last day of summer break."*
***SIGN*** Thursday, August 27th
**[00:41] Yume**
* "If I don't tell him now,*
* I'll never get the chance again."*
**[00:44] Yume**
*If only I'd found my resolve sooner...*
**[00:50] Yume**
* The reason I'd defaulted*
* to such an old-fashioned tradition*
**[00:54] Yume**
* was simply because I hadn't the*
* courage to confess to him directly.*
**[00:58] Yume**
*As I waited for him to read my letter,*
**[01:01] Yume**
* I was overcome with regret and*
* thoughts of self-loathing.*
**[01:04] Yume**
* "This sucks. I wanna run away.*
* I wanna go home."*
**[01:07] Yume**
* And after what felt like an eternity,*
* he finally looked up and said...*
**[01:13] (Flashback) Mizuto**
I don't think I truly deserve your affection,
**[01:16] (Flashback) Mizuto**
but I'm excited to be your boyfriend.
**[01:19] Yume**
* And so, in the summer of my*
* second year at middle school,*
**[01:21] Yume**
*I got what you might call a boyfriend.*
**[01:26] Yume**
* Looking back, I can only describe it*
* as youthful indiscretion.*

Sorry, Higashira-san.

Akatsuki-san only meant the note as a prank.

There's nothing to be scared of.

**[04:07] Akatsuki**
Well, putting aside your embarrassing past...
**[04:10] Akatsuki**
Higashira-san,
you like Mizuto-kun, don't you?
**[04:14] Isana**
Huh?
**[04:15] Isana**
Well, of course I do.
**[04:20] Akatsuki**
Oh... Uh...
**[04:22] Yume**
Higashira-san.
**[04:24] Yume**
Akatsuki-san doesn't mean you like him
as a friend. She means romantically.
**[04:28] Isana**
R-Romantically? You mean
like in those romcoms?
**[04:32] Yume**
That's it.
**[04:34] Akatsuki**
Think "love."
**[04:36] Isana**
You think I love Mizuto-kun?

***SIGN*** But I look like a harlot, of all things!
**[05:18] Akatsuki**
Well? Do you admit it now?
**[05:24] Isana**
...for him?
**[05:26] Isana**
Do you really think I have feelings for him?
**[05:32] Yume & Akatsuki**
Huh?
**[05:34] Isana**
I h-honestly couldn't tell you myself.
**[05:36] Isana**
I've never experienced anything
of the sort before in my life.
**[05:40] Akatsuki**
What?! Are you for real?
**[05:42] Yume**
Your first crush? At this age?
**[05:47] Akatsuki**
Wow. That's, like, so...
**[05:48] Yume**
Interesting. Nostalgic, even.
**[05:51] Akatsuki**
Well, now that that's settled,
we can finally get down to business.
**[05:55] Isana**
What business?
**[05:56] Akatsuki**
Higashira-san...
**[05:58] Akatsuki**
We're gonna help you land
a date with Mizuto-kun!
**[06:01] Akatsuki**
Both me and Yume-chan!
**[06:03] Yume & Isana**
What?!
**[06:05] Yume**
U-Um, Akatsuki-san?
I never said anything about helping...
**[06:09] Akatsuki**
Whaddya say, Higashira-san?
**[06:11] Akatsuki**
I doubt you'd be able to find a better
duo for the job than Yume-chan and me.
**[06:17] Isana**
No, that's okay...
**[06:19] Akatsuki**
Huh? Why not?
**[06:21] Isana**
I wasn't lying when I said
I like him as a friend.
**[06:25] Isana**
I'm quite happy just being able
to talk like we have been.
**[06:30] Isana**
A-And besides...
**[06:31] Isana**
If I were to pursue anything more,
I'd just end up looking pathetic.
**[06:36] Yume**
*Zero confidence in herself.*
**[06:38] Yume**
* Convinced that nothing*
* she does is good enough.*
**[06:41] Yume**
*Avoiding everything because of it.*
**[06:43] Yume**
* Determined to maintain the status quo,*
* even when she's unhappy with it...*
**[06:48] Yume**
* She's basically who I was*
* back in middle school.*
**[06:52] Yume**
Don't throw in the towel before you try!
**[06:54] Yume**
Save that for when you've
exhausted all possibilities!
**[06:58] Yume**
You want to be his girlfriend, don't you?
**[07:00] Yume**
You want to be more than friends, don't you?
**[07:03] Yume**
Well, it could happen if you ask him out!
**[07:05] Yume**
You could walk to and from school
holding hands every day.
**[07:08] Yume**
You could go on dates together.
**[07:10] Yume**
You could exchange gifts on Christmas, too!
**[07:13] Yume**
If you catch a cold,
he could wait on you hand and foot.
**[07:17] Yume**
Well?! All of that could be your life!
**[07:20] Yume**
Knowing that,
are you still content just being friends?
**[07:25] Isana**
I w-wanna be his girlfriend.
**[07:28] Isana**
I w-wanna flirt with him.
**[07:30] Isana**
I want him to tell me he likes me.
**[07:31] Isana**
I w-wanna be more than just friends with him.
**[07:38] Akatsuki**
All right.
**[07:39] Akatsuki**
Then it's settled!
**[07:41] Akatsuki**
Our mission starts bright and early tomorrow!
**[07:43] Akatsuki; Yume & Isana**
Yeah!
**[07:46] Yume**
*Wait... Am* I *really okay with this?*
**[07:55] Isana**
So, what would you have me do, exactly?
**[07:58] Akatsuki**
First, we need to assess the situation.
**[08:00] Akatsuki**
We'll observe how you two normally interact
**[08:03] Akatsuki**
and target his weak point from there.
**[08:05] Isana**
His weak point? Are you sure
Mizuto-kun has one of those?
**[08:08] Yume**
Why are you asking me?
**[08:10] Akatsuki**
Sure he does!
**[08:12] Akatsuki**
No matter how uninterested
Irido-kun pretends to be,
**[08:14] Akatsuki**
with a boy and a girl,
**[08:16] Akatsuki**
there's always a way!
**[08:18] Isana**
Are you sure about that?
**[08:19] Yume**
Are you quite certain?
**[08:21] Akatsuki**
Well, we're assessing the situation
to find out, aren't we?
**[08:24] Akatsuki**
Come on, you two! Let's ready up!

Not one bit.
**[09:20] Isana**
I thought not.
**[09:23] Akatsuki**
Looks like we're gonna have to get physical
to make him appreciate your womanly charm.
**[09:28] Isana**
What do you mean by "physical"?
**[09:30] Akatsuki**
Don't act all innocent with me, young lady.

Right back to the friend zone.
**[10:58] Isana**
I may have feelings for Mizuto-kun,
but he *is* still my friend.
**[11:02] Isana**
Is it wrong of me to have
a crush on a friend?
**[11:05] Isana**
Does liking someone really mean I
have to give up their friendship?
**[11:09] Yume**
* Akatsuki-san and I consider*
* the people we like to be special.*
**[11:15] Yume**
* We don't think of them as friends,*
* but as something far more precious.*
**[11:21] Yume**
*But that isn't the case for Higashira-san.*
**[11:23] Yume**
* To her, liking someone is just*
* an extension of friendship.*
**[11:28] Yume**
*She doesn't believe having feelings*

* for someone is a reason*
* to sacrifice friendship with them.*

I'm sorry, Higashira-san.
**[11:40] Yume**
We won't ask you to change
how you act anymore.
**[11:42] Yume**
I think you're better off staying
true to yourself anyway.

Right, Akatsuki-san?

I think you're right.

Th-That's a relief.

But the fact remains...

Your lack of confidence still
isn't doing you a ton of favors.
**[11:56] Isana**
My lack of confidence?
**[11:58] Akatsuki**
If you believed in yourself a little more,
**[12:02] Akatsuki**
Irido-kun would start looking

Bullying, I tell you!
**[14:01] Mizuto**
You might be right.
**[14:02] Isana**
In that case...
**[14:03] Isana**
You should get bullied too.
**[14:07] Mizuto**
If you insist.
**[14:22] Isana**
There's no way!
**[14:23] Isana**
I can't confess. It's too soon!
**[14:26] Yume**
Maybe we should give her a
little more time, Akatsuki-san.
**[14:31] Yume**
I'm sure she needs to prepare mentally.
**[14:33] Isana**
Sh-She's right! I'm not prepared at all!
**[14:36] Akatsuki**
Then prepare yourself right now.
**[14:38] Isana**
What?
**[14:39] Akatsuki**
Listen up.
**[14:40] Akatsuki**
If you can't psych yourself
up right now, you never will.
**[14:44] Akatsuki**
Quit expecting your future self
to do all the heavy lifting.
**[14:47] Akatsuki**
Never put off till tomorrow
what can be done today!
**[14:50] Akatsuki**
The longer you put it off,
the harder it'll be.
**[14:54] Akatsuki**
If you let him view you as a
friend for months or years,
**[14:57] Akatsuki**
he'll be way more put off when
you *do* make the confession!
**[15:00] Akatsuki**
That's why your chances of success
are higher the sooner you strike.
**[15:07] Isana**
B-But...
**[15:08] Isana**
I'm awkward. And annoying.
**[15:13] Isana**
The only good thing about me is my chest.
**[15:15] Akatsuki**
At least your confidence
in your breasts is rock-steady.
**[15:19] Akatsuki**
What do you think, Yume-chan?
**[15:22] Yume**
He seems to enjoy spending
time with you, Higashira-san.
**[15:26] Yume**
So if you said you wanted to spend more
time together, I doubt he'd refuse.
**[15:32] Isana**
You think so?

**[16:19] Yume**
*He's not?*
**[16:20] Akatsuki**
Yeah. If I had one worry,
I guess it'd be that.
**[16:24] Akatsuki**
Like whether he sees any value
in getting a girlfriend or not.

I guess he probably doesn't.

He seems like he'd be just fine without one.
**[16:33] Akatsuki**
Like he's the type who doesn't
see any value in having a partner.
**[16:37] Akatsuki**
So if a guy like him *were* to get a girlfriend...
**[16:56] Akatsuki**
Yup, lookin' good.
**[16:58] Isana**
D-Do I really look okay?
**[17:02] Akatsuki**
You're fine, you're fine.
**[17:03] Akatsuki**
Cute as a button!
***SIGN*** Friday, June 24th
**[17:06] Yume**
It's almost time.
**[17:09] Isana**
I'm starting to get nervous.
**[17:11] Akatsuki**
Okay then, we'll stay hidden over here
and support you from the shadows.
**[17:15] Akatsuki**
Good luck!
**[17:17] Yume**
You'll be fine. You can do this.
**[17:25] Isana**
Right, I'll do my best.
**[17:41] Mizuto**
I'm here, Higashira.
**[17:44] Isana**
U-Um... Th-Thank you
for coming t-to meet me.
**[17:49] Mizuto**
Sure.
**[17:51] Isana**
S-So... you know...
**[17:54] Isana**
Th-There's something I wanted
to tell you, Mizuto-kun.
**[17:58] Isana**
To express my gratitude...
**[18:00] Isana**
No, scratch that. What I mean is...
**[18:02] Isana**
Um... Um...
**[18:04] Mizuto**
Higashira.
**[18:04] Isana**
Y-Yes?!
**[18:06] Mizuto**
Just tell me what you have to say at your
own pace. In whatever order you'd like.
**[18:10] Mizuto**
I can put the pieces together from there.
**[18:16] Isana**
Do you remember when we first met at the
library and you came up to talk to me?
**[18:23] Isana**
That made me so happy.
**[18:25] Isana**
And not just because I'd met someone
who shared similar interests.
**[18:29] Isana**
But because when we spoke, you actually
seemed to enjoy talking to me.
**[18:34] Isana**
People have always told me that
I'm weird, annoying, and a freak.
**[18:40] Isana**
So truly, deeply...
**[18:42] Isana**
I was so happy to have someone actually
listen to me when I ramble.
**[18:46] Isana**
Not only that, but for the first time ever,
someone actually responded to me.
**[18:53] Isana**
It's been so much fun.
**[18:56] Isana**
So I wanna spend more time with you.
**[18:58] Isana**
I wanna spend all my time with you.
**[19:03] Isana**
So... please let me be your girlfriend.
**[19:10] Isana**
I like you.
**[19:18] Mizuto**
You always told me you saw me as a friend.
**[19:20] Isana**
Th-That hasn't changed!
**[19:23] Isana**
I like you as a friend too.
**[19:25] Mizuto**
I enjoy spending time
with you too, Higashira.
**[19:29] Mizuto**
You're the first person I've ever met
that I've clicked with so effortlessly.
**[19:34] Mizuto**
So if we were to date, there's no
doubt in my mind that we'd be happy.
**[19:40] Mizuto**
Sure, we'd still fight.
**[19:42] Mizuto**
Knowing us, we'd likely forget all about it
while discussing some new book.
**[19:48] Mizuto**
But I'm sorry.
**[19:52] Mizuto**
I'm sorry, but I can't go out with you.
**[19:56] Isana**
Wh-Why?
**[19:59] Mizuto**
I'm selfish.
**[20:01] Mizuto**
I can't be attentive to more
than one person at a time.
**[20:05] Mizuto**
And the one slot that I have...
**[20:07] Mizuto**
It's already occupied by someone else,
even though she doesn't deserve it.
**[20:12] Mizuto**
And I know in my heart
**[20:15] Mizuto**
that despite having no obligation to her,
I still can't bear to see her cry.
**[20:21] Mizuto**
So I'll apologize again and again.
**[20:23] Mizuto**
I'm sorry.
**[20:24] Mizuto**
I'm doing you a disservice by using someone
else to turn you down, and I apologize.
**[20:29] Mizuto**
But it's not your fault at all.
**[20:31] Mizuto**
There's no one else to blame either.
**[20:33] Mizuto**
This is on me.
**[20:35] Mizuto**
These are just feelings I know I
have that I simply cannot deny.
**[20:40] Mizuto**
So I'm sorry, Higashira, but I...
**[20:44] Mizuto**
I can't be your boyfriend.
**[20:51] Akatsuki**
*So if a guy like him* were *to get a girlfriend...*
**[20:55] Akatsuki**
* since he wouldn't be doing it*
* for pride or status,*
**[20:59] Akatsuki**
* it'd have to be someone he just wants*
* to have by his side that badly.*
**[21:05] Yume**
* Even though it's obvious you'd*
* be better off with her than me...*
**[21:12] Yume**
* Even though I'm nothing but*
* a stepsister to you now...*
**[21:18] Yume**
* Why are you letting someone who isn't*
* even your girlfriend anymore*
**[21:23] Yume**
*be the one by your side?*
**[23:03] Akatsuki**
Well, explain yourself!
**[23:05] Isana**
Explain what?
**[23:07] Yume**
This, of course.

It's a picture of me and Mizuto-kun
talking in the library.
**[23:14] Isana**
Is there something wrong with that?
**[23:16] Akatsuki**
He just rejected you, didn't he?
**[23:18] Yume**
How can you talk to him
like nothing's changed?
**[23:21] Isana**
Um... I may have gotten my heart broken,
**[23:24] Isana**
but it's not like we stopped being friends.
**[23:27] Yume & Akatsuki**
Huh?
**[23:28] Isana**
If anything, now that he's rejected me,
**[23:30] Isana**
it makes being friends more easygoing
and straightforward, don't you think?
**[23:35] Yume & Akatsuki**
Have you lost your mind?!

**[00:09] Isana**
I'd like to peruse your book collection.
**[00:12] Mizuto**
My book collection?
**[00:14] Isana**
Hush now.
**[00:15] Isana**
There's no need to question it.
**[00:18] Isana**
It's simply an innate desire.
**[00:20] Isana**
I wish to see your collection
and nothing more.
**[00:24] Isana**
If you *must* twist my arm,
**[00:25] Isana**
I wish to discern which pages of which
light novels have creases in them,
**[00:30] Isana**
and so discover which heroines were
instrumental in your sexual awakening.
**[00:35] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[00:36] Isana**
You know those racy light novels
everyone hides from their parents.
**[00:40] Isana**
You must have at least one hidden away
at the back of your bookcase, right?
**[00:44] Isana**
Ow!
**[00:46] Isana**
Could you be a little gentler
when you touch me?
**[00:49] Isana**
It'll feel better for both of us that way.
**[00:52] Mizuto**
You're being way more of a
pain in the neck than usual.
**[00:56] Isana**
Oh, so you've decided to feel me up
with your eyes instead, have you?
**[01:00] Isana**
I suppose I'll allow it.
**[01:02] Isana**
You may imagine me naked too,
if you so desire.
**[01:04] Mizuto**
I'm about ready to end this "friend" thing.
**[01:07] Isana**
I was only kidding!
**[01:08] Isana**
I'll stop making dirty jokes, okay?!
**[01:10] Isana**
I'm sorry!
**[01:11] Isana**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
**[01:15] Mizuto**
I feel like my innocence will be
in jeopardy if I let you come over.
**[01:19] Mizuto**
Fear not.
**[01:20] Mizuto**
I'll release all my sexual tension beforehand.
**[01:28] Isana**
Well, all joking aside...
**[01:29] Isana**
You seem like the type to hold
on to older light novels,
**[01:33] Isana**
so I was hoping I could come borrow some.
**[01:35] Mizuto**
That's fine by me.
**[01:37] Mizuto**
But it means coming over
to a guy's house alone, no?
**[01:41] Mizuto**
Won't that put you on edge?
**[01:43] Isana**
Hmm?
**[01:44] Isana**
You turned me down the other day,
proving your lack of interest.
**[01:47] Isana**
What's there to be on edge about?
**[01:50] Mizuto**
*With that pure, innocent gaze...*
**[01:54] Mizuto**
*How could I possibly refute her?*

**[03:41] Yume**
Higashira-san.
**[03:43] Yume**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[03:45] Akatsuki**
Been here long?
**[03:46] Isana**
N-No, I just got here myself.
**[03:49] Akatsuki**
Well, let's see you.
**[03:50] Akatsuki**
Oh, I'm so glad! She really does dress lame!
**[03:53] Yume**
We were right to invite her out ahead of time.
**[03:56] Isana**
What?
**[03:57] Isana**
You two are dissing me right now, aren't you?
**[04:00] Isana**
That *was* a diss, right?
**[04:01] Akatsuki**
All righty!
**[04:03] Akatsuki**
Without further ado,
I present today's agenda.
**[04:06] Akatsuki**
I call it...
"Operation Make Over Higashira Isana"!
**[04:11] Akatsuki**
You're going over to Irido-kun's
tomorrow, aren't you?
**[04:14] Isana**
Y-Yes...
**[04:16] Isana**
So to keep you from embarrassing yourself
by wearing something lame like this...
**[04:20] Yume**
We thought we might lend some assistance.
**[04:23] Yume**
Let's go look for cute
clothes together, shall we?
**[04:26] Akatsuki**
You want Irido-kun to think
you're cute, don't you?
**[04:29] Isana**
W-Well, you're not wrong...
**[04:32] Isana**
But I didn't bring that much money with me.
**[04:35] Yume**
Not to worry.
**[04:37] Yume**
Akatsuki-san and I will pay
for everything today.
**[04:40] Isana**
Wha?! N-No way!
**[04:42] Isana**
I couldn't possibly ask you to do that.
**[04:44] Akatsuki**
Don't worry about it!
**[04:46] Akatsuki**
Just keep in mind...
**[04:47] Yume**
We do have one condition.
**[04:50] Isana**
A-And what's that?
**[04:53] Yume & Akatsuki**
That you try on whatever we suggest.
**[04:55] Yume & Akatsuki**
No ifs, ands, or buts!
**[04:58] Isana**
H-H-Huh?!
**[05:00] Isana**
Y-You want me to wear *this*?
**[05:02] Akatsuki**
Yup! That's what I picked.
**[05:04] Akatsuki**
Now quit whining and try it!
**[05:05] Isana**
B-But... U-Uh...
**[05:08] Isana**
This kind of thing just
doesn't look good on me.
**[05:10] Yume & Akatsuki**
No ifs, ands, or buts!
**[05:16] Yume**
Akatsuki-san,
**[05:17] Yume**
you just wanted to use her as
a dress-up doll, didn't you?
**[05:22] Akatsuki**
You caught me.
**[05:23] Isana**
U-Um, I finished putting it on...
**[05:26] Akatsuki**
Let's see it!
**[05:33] Isana**
I look like the token hot girl
in a horror movie.
**[05:37] Yume & Akatsuki**
Too lewd!
**[05:38] Akatsuki**
What's your cup size, anyway?!
**[05:41] Isana**
I-I'm a G-cup...
**[05:43] Yume & Akatsuki**
A G-cup?!

Gee...

could jiggle so much.
**[05:59] Akatsuki**
Same.
**[06:01] Akatsuki**
All right! Plenty more to go, Higashira-san!
**[06:08] Isana**
This looks like that dress that
went viral for a while.
**[06:12] Yume & Akatsuki**
Too lewd!
**[06:18] Isana**
This is more conservative than the rest,
**[06:20] Isana**
but it feels a little tight...
**[06:22] Yume & Akatsuki**
Too lewd!
**[06:24] Yume**
This is quite the dilemma.
**[06:26] Akatsuki**
Anything she wears ends up
looking majorly risqué.
**[06:30] Isana**
Can't I just wear what I normally do?
**[06:33] Isana**
A reserved person like me has no business
sticking out like a sore thumb.
**[06:43] Yume**
Now that outfit's...
**[06:45] Akatsuki**
Definitely out.
**[06:47] Akatsuki**
Whatever we try,
**[06:48] Akatsuki**
nothing's gonna work unless
we downplay these G-cups.
**[06:53] Akatsuki**
Something loose and flowy should do.
**[06:55] Isana**
Loose and flowy?
**[06:56] Akatsuki**
Something like what Yume-chan's wearing.
**[06:58] Akatsuki**
It softens your silhouette.
**[07:01] Akatsuki**
Try pairing a loose-fitting top
with a light and flowy skirt.
**[07:05] Akatsuki**
Something like that might just
be enough to hide your sexy bod.
**[07:08] Yume**
Hmm, that's true.
**[07:10] Akatsuki**
But then I guess you'd be copying
Yume-chan's style, huh?
**[07:13] Isana**
And it's bad to copy someone else?
**[07:16] Akatsuki**
Of course it is!
**[07:18] Akatsuki**
We girls have to coordinate our outfits
in order to maintain harmony, after all.
**[07:22] Isana**
Wow.
**[07:24] Akatsuki**
So if Yume-chan switches up her style,
it'd be a totally different story!
**[07:29] Yume**
Huh? M-Me?
**[07:32] Isana**
Whoa! I would be honored to behold
Yume-chan's Newtype awakening.
**[07:36] Akatsuki**
Right?!

*When the day finally came,*
**[08:34] Yume**
* I managed to find an outfit I was*

* was avoiding the subject for my sake.*
**[08:56] Yume**
* Yet just when it seemed we*
* were about to go our separate ways,*

*he said something out of the blue...*
**[09:03] (Flashback) Mizuto**
Your outfit today... It's cute.
**[09:07] Yume**
* He must have been too embarrassed*
* to compliment me sooner.*
**[09:11] Yume**
*Yet then he went on to say...*
**[09:14] (Flashback) Mizuto**
But, um, I'd appreciate it if you
didn't wear miniskirts outside.
**[09:20] (Flashback) Mizuto**
I wouldn't mind any other time, though...
**[09:25] Yume**
*He wouldn't mind any other time?*
**[09:27] Yume**
*So it'd be okay if we were indoors?*
**[09:30] Yume**
*Why can't I wear them outside?*
**[09:32] Yume**
*Is it because we're in public?*
**[09:34] Yume**
*Because other people are around?*
**[09:36] Yume**
* I was happy that someone*
* so seemingly unattached*
**[09:40] Yume**
* had finally shown a glimpse*
* of possessiveness toward me.*
**[09:45] Yume**
* Overcome with joy, I was nothing*
* but smiles the whole way home.*
**[09:49] Yume**
*And from that point on,*
**[09:52] Yume**
* my sense of style was wholly dictated by*
* my thirst for Irido Mizuto's approval.*
**[09:56] Yume**
*What on earth was I thinking back then?!*
**[09:59] Akatsuki**
Yume-chan? Are you done changing?
**[10:08] Yume**
How do I look?
**[10:10] Isana**
You look so chic!
**[10:12] Yume**
I think I'm kinda into it.

There aren't many girls who can pull

**[13:08] Isana**
Do you mind if I have a rummage?
**[13:11] Mizuto**
Just put things back where you find them.
**[13:14] Mizuto**
Now, why are you here?
**[13:16] Yume**
I'm supervising.
**[13:18] Yume**
Can't have you laying a finger
on poor Higashira-san, can I?
**[13:22] Mizuto**
You think I'd do such a thing
when my entire family's home?
**[13:26] Isana**
Whoa!
**[13:27] Isana**
L-Look at this!
***SIGN*** The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Nagaru Tanigawa
**[13:29] Isana**
It's that old light novel
I've been meaning to read!
**[13:32] Isana**
Mizuto-kun, do you mind if I read this?
***SIGN*** The Melancholy
of Haruhi Suzumiya
Nagaru Tanigawa
**[13:35] Mizuto**
Sure, go ahead.
**[13:37] Isana**
Then I'll read on your bed, okay?
**[13:40] Isana**
One, two...
**[13:42] Yume**
W-Wait!
**[13:44] Yume**
What do you think you're
doing, Higashira-san?!
**[13:47] Yume**
That's his bed, you know?
***SIGN*** The Melancholy
of Haruhi Suzumiya
**[13:49] Isana**
I know that.
**[13:51] Isana**
That's why I asked his permission.
**[13:54] Yume**
Aren't you... even a little on edge?
***SIGN*** The Melancholy
of Haruhi Suzumiya
**[13:57] Isana**
On edge?
**[13:59] Isana**
I've already been rejected, so it's fine.
***SIGN*** Anthuriums: The Flower of Innocence
**[14:02] Anthuriums**
Right, Mizuto-kun?
***SIGN*** That Was All I Ever Wanted
**[14:05] Mizuto**
Sure.
**[14:07] Yume**
I can't wrap my head around this at all.
**[14:09] Mizuto**
Don't bother trying.
**[14:11] Mizuto**
I'm committed to treating her the
same way I would any guy friend.
**[14:15] Mizuto**
Just try to relax and
read a book or something.
**[14:17] Yume**
Maybe I will.
***SIGN*** That Was All I Ever Wanted
***SIGN*** The Melancholy

**[14:38] Isana**
Volume 1 complete!
**[14:40] Mizuto**
You're already finished reading?
**[14:43] Isana**
My shoulders are all stiff.
**[14:45] Isana**
Could you rub them for me, Mizuto-kun?
**[14:47] Mizuto**
Why should I?
**[14:48] Isana**
People with big boobs often
suffer from stiff shoulders.
**[14:51] Isana**
Did you not know that?
***SIGN*** That Was All I Ever Wanted
**[14:52] Mizuto**
That's not what I asked.
**[14:54] Isana**
They're so tensed up. I can barely move them.
**[14:57] Isana**
I guess I have no choice but to make
your bed my final resting place.
**[15:02] Isana**
Rolly-rolly, rolly-rolly,
rolly-rolly, rolly-rolly...
**[15:05] Mizuto**
Okay, I give.
***SIGN*** Seikaisha

**[15:07] Mizuto**
I'll rub your shoulders, so quit rubbing
your scent all over my bed, would you?
**[15:14] Isana**
Please... be gentle with me.
**[15:20] Isana**
That's it...
**[15:22] Isana**
Keep going just like that...
**[15:23] Mizuto**
Okay, what are you playing at?
**[15:25] Isana**
I'm acting out that light novel trope
**[15:27] Isana**
where the characters seem
to be doing something raunchy,
**[15:30] Isana**
but they're not actually.
**[15:32] Mizuto**
That doesn't happen in real life.
**[15:34] Isana**
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
**[15:36] Isana**
H-Hey! Too much! That's too hard, Mizuto-kun!
**[15:40] Isana**
Ow, ow, ow! Yeowch!
**[15:41] Yume**
Just how close *are* you two?
**[15:43] Yume**
You're toying with me, aren't you?
**[15:45] Yume**
You've been dating all along, haven't you?!
**[15:47] Isana**
What? But we've always been this way.
**[15:51] Mizuto**
Yeah, haven't we always been like this?
**[15:53] Yume**
Oh, I've got it!
**[15:55] Yume**
Neither of you have ever had friends,
**[15:58] Yume**
so you have no concept
of personal boundaries!
**[16:01] Yume**
Mystery solved.
**[16:02] Isana**
That's rude.
**[16:04] Isana**
We've had at least one
or two friends, you know?
**[16:06] Mizuto**
She's right. At least one or two.
**[16:12] Isana**
Well, everyone has different
personal boundaries, right?
**[16:15] Mizuto**
Exactly. Friendship looks
different for everyone.
**[16:19] Yume**
I-In any case...
**[16:21] Yume**
Just stop getting touchy-feely on the bed.
**[16:23] Isana**
Goodness me.
**[16:24] Isana**
It must be hard dealing with such a
possessive little sister, Mizuto-kun.
**[16:28] Mizuto**
Yeah, it's a real pain.
**[16:30] Yume**
I'm not possessive,
and I'm not his *little* sister!
**[16:32] Isana**
Well, anyways...
**[16:34] Isana**
Could you put my socks on for me, Mizuto-kun?
**[16:37] Mizuto**
Yeah, yeah.
**[16:38] Yume**
Hold it!
**[16:39] Yume**
Why can't you put your socks on yourself?
**[16:42] Isana**
Well, about that...
**[16:44] Isana**
Bending over is such a struggle
when you have big boobs, you know?
**[16:47] Yume**
Why does it always come back to your breasts?
**[16:50] Isana**
Well, to tell the truth,
**[16:51] Isana**
I've just become accustomed to having
him take care of me, you know?
**[16:56] Mizuto**
All right, I put them on for you.
**[16:58] Isana**
Thank you very much.
**[17:00] Isana**
Oh, where's your bathroom?
***SIGN*** The Melancholy of
Haruhi Suzumiya
Nagaru Tanigawa
**[17:02] Yume**
I-I'll show you!
**[17:07] Yume**
So do you still have feelings for
him after all, Higashira-san?
**[17:11] Isana**
Of course I do.
**[17:14] Isana**
The possibility of dating him wasn't
why I liked him in the first place.
**[17:21] Isana**
I don't think I'll ever stop
liking him, for that matter.
**[17:25] Isana**
As a friend or as a boy.
**[17:27] Yume**
Isn't that... hard for you?
**[17:30] Isana**
I wonder...
**[17:32] Isana**
I think I'd find it hard to adjust
if he got a girlfriend.
**[17:35] Isana**
But when I think about it, I'm sure I'd
be more jealous if he made a new friend.
**[17:41] Yume**
Huh?
**[17:42] Isana**
I'm the one Mizuto-kun
enjoys talking to the most.
**[17:47] Isana**
It's like some territorial instinct
starts to well up inside me.
**[17:51] Isana**
Wouldn't you feel the same, Yume-san?
**[17:53] Isana**
How would you feel if some long-lost sister
walked into his life out of the blue?
**[18:00] Yume**
Well...
**[18:02] Isana**
I'm afraid.
**[18:04] Isana**
Mizuto-kun is the only friend I have.
**[18:07] Isana**
If he suddenly got more friends who
filled the same role, I'd just...
**[18:13] Yume**
*It's not that she wants him all to herself.*
**[18:17] Yume**
* She just can't bear the thought of*
* losing her unique place in his heart.*
**[18:23] Yume**
Higashira-san.
**[18:24] Yume**
Aren't I your friend too?
**[18:29] Isana**
Y-You are?
**[18:31] Yume**
Of course.
**[18:32] Isana**
B-But still...
**[18:36] Isana**
You wouldn't fill the same role as Mizuto-kun.
**[18:39] Yume**
Yeah, I know.
**[18:42] Yume**
*Probably as much as you do, if not more.*
**[18:46] Isana**
So... where's the bathroom?
**[18:52] Yume**
Have you been doing this stuff all along?
**[18:55] Yume**
Rubbing her shoulders and
putting her socks on for her?
***SIGN*** That Was All I Ever Wanted
**[18:58] Mizuto**
Well, only because it's her.
**[19:13] Yume**
Hey.
***SIGN*** That Was All I Ever Wanted
**[19:16] Yume**
Put them back on.
**[19:19] Mizuto**
You're really making this a competition?
**[19:21] Yume**
Shut it!
**[19:22] Yume**
It just seemed fun
to treat you like a servant.
**[19:26] Yume**
Put. Them. Back. On.
***SIGN*** That Was All I Ever Wanted
**[19:51] Yume**
Y-You heard nothing.

**[20:08] Isana**
Man, thanks for saving me back there.
**[20:11] Isana**
They kept bombarding me with questions.
**[20:13] Isana**
I have no idea how to act in
front of adults I've never met.
**[20:17] Isana**
Oh, that reminds me.
**[20:18] Isana**
Your parents were under the impression
that I was your ex-girlfriend.
**[20:22] Isana**
Any idea why?
**[20:23] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[20:24] Mizuto**
How'd that come up?
**[20:25] Isana**
Well, they asked me if we were dating,
**[20:28] Isana**
so I told them you'd turned me down a
while back and that we're just friends now.
**[20:31] Isana**
So suddenly, I was your ex.
**[20:35] Mizuto**
Listen, they're gonna misunderstand
if you word it like that.
**[20:39] Isana**
Well, I couldn't just say it, you know?
**[20:43] Isana**
I couldn't handle explaining
**[20:45] Isana**
that you'd said no when I confessed,
and that we'd never really dated.
**[20:51] Isana**
Mizuto-kun... I still haven't fully
recovered from that, you know?
**[20:57] Mizuto**
I see.
**[20:59] Isana**
So don't forget to console
me whenever you can, okay?
**[21:06] Mizuto**
You're right.
**[21:09] Isana**
Staying home and reading books all day
is a nice way to spend the weekend, huh?
**[21:14] Mizuto**
Yeah.
**[21:17] Mizuto**
* I'm sure the time I spent silently*
* reading books with Ayai Yume*
***SIGN*** Mystery Novels
**[21:23] Mizuto**
*was just as much fun as today was.*
**[21:28] Isana**
You know, Mizuto...
**[21:31] Isana**
You're a good friend.
**[21:34] Mizuto**
*So if we'd never dated...*
**[21:39] Isana**
Well then, I shall take my leave.
**[21:44] Mizuto**
*If we'd never gotten together...*
**[21:48] Mizuto**
* If we had just stayed*
* moderately close friends...*
**[21:52] Mizuto**
* I wonder if we'd still be spending*
* time together like we did back then.*
**[21:57] Mizuto**
*But hypothesizing about it's pointless.*
**[22:00] Mizuto**
*Neither she nor I...*
**[22:02] Mizuto**
* Neither of us could ever*
* be like Higashira Isana.*

This is my first time in a guy's room.
**[02:17] Mizuto**
This is my first time having
a girl in my room too.
**[02:22] Yume**
Don't ever bring another girl
over, okay? I'll be mad.
**[02:28] Mizuto**
Well, have a seat.
**[02:36] Yume**
*But the only place to sit is...*

*there?*
**[02:39] Yume**
*I'm really gonna sit* there*?*

Sit down and make yourself at home.
**[02:56] Mizuto**
Sorry.

N-No worries.

Er, um... You sure have a lot of books, huh?

**[04:15] Mizuto**
Ayai.
**[04:28] Mizuto**
I should probably take you home now.
**[04:31] Yume**
Huh?
**[04:32] Mizuto**
Of course, I'd rather you stay.
**[04:34] Mizuto**
But I'm sure your parents will start
worrying if it gets any later.

*We've been dating for six months now.*

* We've held hands before.*
* We've even kissed before.*
**[04:51] Yume**
* I thought we'd be ready*
* to take the next step by now.*
**[04:55] Yume**
* Did Irido-kun invite me*
* over just to hang out?*
**[05:00] Yume**
* Was I the only one breathlessly*
* worked up about it?*
**[05:06] Mizuto**
I had fun today.
**[05:07] Yume**
Oh? Y-Yeah...
**[05:10] Mizuto**
See you tomorrow at school, then.
**[05:24] Mizuto**
I was all psyched up and ready
when I invited her over, but...
**[05:30] Mizuto**
I'm such a coward.
**[05:39] Mizuto**
We're third-years starting today, huh?
**[05:41] Yume**
Do you think we'll be in the same class?
**[05:45] Mizuto**
I'm not sure.
**[05:46] Mizuto**
We were in the same class
last year, so who knows?
**[05:50] Yume**
That's not the response I was looking for.
**[05:53] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[05:58] Mizuto**
I hope we're in the same class this year too.

We'll have plenty of opportunities

But it's rare for you to be late.
**[07:42] Mizuto**
Something happen?
**[07:43] Yume**
Well, actually...
**[07:45] Yume**
I made a friend in my class!
**[07:47] Mizuto**
You did?
**[07:49] Yume**
Yup, I did!
**[07:50] Yume**
There was this girl reading a book at lunch,
**[07:53] Yume**
so I plucked up the courage to
talk to her and we really clicked.
**[07:56] Mizuto**

There you are!

**[09:11] Yume**
I went to the library, but you weren't there.
**[09:14] Yume**
I'm sorry. One of my friends started
talking to me, and I couldn't get away.
**[09:18] Mizuto**
I get it. It's fine.
**[09:26] Yume**
So, I was telling one of my friends
about you earlier today...
**[09:31] Mizuto**
Will you drop it already?
**[09:33] Yume**
Huh?
**[09:37] Mizuto**
I have no interest in

Huh?
**[10:23] Girl**
Have any recommendations?

**[10:39] Mizuto**
Then how about Miyazawa Kenji?
**[10:40] Yume**
Who's that?
**[10:41] Mizuto**
There should be a chapter
on his work in the textbook.
**[10:42] Yume**
That's where I sit...
**[10:43] Girl**
Oh, yeah!
**[10:44] Girl**
It'd be easier to pick
a story I've already read.
**[10:46] Girl**
I'll go have a look for it!
**[10:47] Girl**
Well, thanks a ton!
**[10:49] Mizuto**
Sure.
**[11:07] Mizuto**
Ayai...
**[11:13] Mizuto**
I'm sorry for being so mean to you yesterday.
**[11:20] Mizuto**
I can explain.
**[11:24] Mizuto**
It just felt like you were getting
further and further away from me.
**[11:29] Mizuto**
Once you made friends, you started
spending so much time with other people.
**[11:33] Mizuto**
I was happy for you at first.
But then gradually...
**[11:38] Mizuto**
I started wishing I could
keep you all to myself.
**[11:43] Mizuto**
I'm really sorry.
**[11:45] Mizuto**
I hope you can forgive me.
**[11:47] Yume**
So you don't like it when *I*
spend time with other people,
**[11:51] Yume**
but it's okay for *you*
to be with other girls?
**[11:54] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[11:55] Yume**
You were talking to another
girl just now, weren't you?
**[11:58] Yume**
You even let her sit in *my* seat!
**[12:02] Mizuto**
She needed help choosing a book,
so I was just lending an ear.
**[12:06] Yume**
She's the girl you were secretly talking
to the day I got here late, isn't she?
**[12:11] Mizuto**
This is the first time we've ever spoken.
**[12:13] Yume**
You're cheating, aren't you?!
**[12:15] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[12:21] Mizuto**
Do I really deserve to be berated
with such baseless accusations?
**[12:27] Yume**
Why here?
**[12:29] Yume**
How could you do something so heartless?
**[12:32] Yume**
This is where we first met, isn't it?
**[12:36] Yume**
How could you do it where we've
made so many memories together?!
**[12:39] Mizuto**
I'm telling you I didn't cheat!
**[12:44] Mizuto**
Sorry.
**[12:46] Mizuto**
But I'm telling you the truth.

**[13:03] Yume**
* I now know that it was*
* just a misunderstanding.*
**[13:06] Yume**
* Even at the time, I probably*
* knew that deep down.*
**[13:10] Yume**
* Even so, the impression*
* it left on me lingers.*
**[13:15] Yume**
*The wound it carved into my heart remains.*
**[13:19] Yume**
*"In a place full of shared memories, the
person I trusted most betrayed that trust."*
**[13:25] Yume**
* The mere thought of it tainted those*
* memories as well as my feelings for him.*
**[13:38] Mizuto**
*It had nothing to do with Ayai.*
**[13:41] Mizuto**
* I was just acting out of a childish*
* sense of pride and jealousy.*
**[13:45] Mizuto**
*But still, I just couldn't stand it.*
**[13:49] Yume**
* So, I was telling one of my friends*
* about you earlier today...*
**[13:53] Mizuto**
*I was convinced she was taking pity on me.*
**[13:56] Mizuto**
* And she was the last person I ever*
* wanted to have treating me that way.*
**[14:00] Mizuto**
*But looking back on it now,*
**[14:03] Mizuto**
* I'm sure she was just trying to*
* be considerate in her own way.*
**[14:07] Mizuto**
* If the reason we grew*
* apart was her making friends,*
**[14:09] Mizuto**
* all I had to do was join her friend group*
* and it would've been fine.*
**[14:15] Mizuto**
*I know that. I understood that.*
**[14:19] Mizuto**
* I should have just bottled up my*
* feelings and gone along with it.*
**[14:23] Mizuto**
*I should've chosen my words more carefully.*
**[14:28] Mizuto**
*Deep down... I knew that all along.*

Do you have time to talk?

Listen, I've been thinking.
**[15:18] Mizuto**
It's not healthy to keep up
so much friction between us.
**[15:23] Mizuto**
Don't you think we should try to make up?
**[15:25] Mizuto**
It's just been awkward
seeing each other at school.
**[15:29] Mizuto**
I apologize for what happened
in the library, okay?
**[15:34] Yume**
Okay.
**[15:39] Mizuto**
*If I hadn't broken the silence,*

* how was Ayai planning*

*Why won't Irido-kun walk alongside me?*

* In the end, I couldn't bring*

**[16:55] Yume**
* But since we'd reconciled, I thought*

**[17:01] Yume**

**[17:06] Yume**

**[20:34] Yume**
Yeah.
**[20:39] Mizuto**
* When both Christmas and Valentine's*
* passed by without any contact,*
**[20:43] Mizuto**
* I was certain we could never*
* go back to the way things were.*
**[20:47] Mizuto**
*So I broke up with her.*
**[20:52] Mizuto**
* I realized feelings of love and*
* hatred were at odds within me.*
**[20:59] Mizuto**
*And though they contradicted each other,*
**[21:03] Mizuto**
* both my affection and resentment*
* for her were undeniable.*
**[21:07] Mizuto**
*A reality I couldn't ignore.*
**[21:09] Mizuto**
*It was agony.*
**[21:12] Mizuto**
*I was in pain.*
**[21:14] Mizuto**
*I was miserable.*
**[21:17] Mizuto**
* And the strife caused by those opposing*
* emotions slowly ate away at me.*
**[21:23] Mizuto**
* So it wasn't the end*
* of a relationship for me.*

*It was a liberation.*

***SIGN*** I Want to Eat Your Pancreas
**[22:05] Yume**
Huh? Really?
**[22:08] Mizuto**
As I recall, you said that was your
first time in a guy's room, right?
***SIGN*** I Want to Eat Your Pancreas
**[22:13] Mizuto**
You must have been so full of lewd thoughts

**[22:20] Yume**
Besides, wasn't it your idea to begin with?!

Huh?
**[22:24] Yume**
You invited me over under the
pretense that you'd be home alone!
**[22:28] Yume**
Then you had me sit on
your bed of all places!
***SIGN*** I Want to Eat Your Pancreas
**[22:31] Yume**
You totally planned on making
a move, didn't you?
**[22:35] Mizuto**
Go ahead and laugh for all I care.
**[22:37] Mizuto**
Laugh at the coward who ended up wimping out
**[22:41] Mizuto**
after finally working up the
resolve to invite you over.
**[22:45] Yume**
What?!
**[22:46] Mizuto**
Why are you surprised?
It's just what you accused me of!
**[22:49] Yume**
Wh-What's this about "resolve"?!
You "wimped out" of *what* exactly?!
**[22:53] Yume**
I came here that day
completely ready for it!
**[22:57] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[22:58] Mizuto**
Wait! I backed off because *you*
seemed so apprehensive about it!
**[23:03] Yume**
You listen here!
That was *nervous excitement*!
**[23:06] Mizuto**
What?!
**[23:08] Mizuto**
Lies! You're telling me you were
down for it the whole time?!
**[23:11] Yume**
Of course I was!
**[23:13] Yume**
I came here excited to make the
memory of a lifetime with you!
**[23:17] Mizuto**
R-Really?
**[23:19] Mizuto**
So I spent ages plagued
with regret for nothing...
**[23:23] Yume**
That's my line!

I wasted so much time
convinced I was undesirable.
**[23:27] Yume**
Give it back!
**[23:28] Mizuto**
Like I care!
**[23:29] Mizuto**
It's your fault for looking frozen stiff!
**[23:32] Yume**
No, it's your fault for wimping out.
**[23:33] Yume**
You coward!

Mom and Mineaki-san won't be home

I don't wanna be alone when another

**[05:08] Yume**
It's your fault for being
so pathetic in the first place.
**[05:11] Mizuto**
Yeah, yeah. You've made your point.
**[05:16] Yuni**
You two are acting like a couple
going through a rough patch.
**[05:19] Mineaki**
Our relatives are gonna tease you even
more when we go see them for Obon.
**[05:26] Mizuto**

***SIGN*** The Kyoto Times
**[05:28] Mineaki**
Pretty much all there is to do
in my hometown is play in the river.
**[05:32] Mineaki**
Make sure to pack your swimsuits, okay?
**[05:35] Mizuto**
Pass. I'm just going to read
like I normally do.
**[05:38] Yume**
I'll probably do the same.
**[05:40] Yuni**
Aw, but playing in the river's fun!
**[05:43] Yuni**
Why don't you go buy a swimsuit, Yume?
**[05:45] Yuni**
And bring Mizuto-kun along!
**[05:46] Yume**
B-But why?!
**[05:48] Yuni**
I mean, the only one you have
is your school swimsuit, right?
**[05:52] Yuni**
Plus, you've gotten bigger recently,
so it probably doesn't fit you anymore.
**[05:55] Yume**
Hey— Mom, please!
**[05:57] Yume**
Anyway, I was asking why
I have to take Mizuto-kun.
**[06:01] Yuni**
What? You don't want him to tag along?
**[06:05] Yume**
I, um... I didn't say that...
**[06:11] Yuni**
Then you two had better get going!
**[06:26] Yume**
Sorry for the wait.
**[06:28] Mizuto**
Why are you wearing glasses?
**[06:31] Yume**
I'm in disguise.
**[06:32] Yume**
It'll be a pain if someone we
know spots us while we're out.
**[06:36] Yume**
Here. Wear this.
**[06:37] Mizuto**
Hmm?
**[06:38] Yume**
You've been getting more popular at school
since taking the top score in our class.
**[06:43] Yume**
You'll be harder to spot with this on.
**[06:45] Mizuto**
You're acting like we're celebrities.
**[06:48] Yume**
Well, if you don't mind the onslaught
of rumors about us dating
**[06:51] Yume**
when we go back to school,
**[06:53] Yume**
then I suppose you don't have to wear it.
**[06:57] Mizuto**
Fine.
**[07:05] Yume**
And these too.
**[07:07] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[07:08] Yume**
For your disguise.
**[07:10] Yume**
See? I'm wearing them too.
**[07:12] Mizuto**
No thanks.
**[07:13] Yume**
Why not?!
**[07:14] Yume**
You'd look cool...
**[07:30] Mizuto**
Why am I even here?
**[07:32] Yume**
Hey.
**[07:33] Mizuto**
Hmm? What is it?
**[07:36] Yume**
There's no one around, is there?
**[07:39] Mizuto**
Nope.
**[07:40] Yume**
I see.
**[07:41] Mizuto**
Could you just pick one already?
**[07:44] Yume**
Could I show you?
**[07:46] Mizuto**
Show me? Show me what?
**[07:49] Yume**
My swimsuit.
**[07:53] Mizuto**
Wh-Why me?!
**[07:55] Yume**
I can't decide, okay?!
**[07:57] Yume**
This is my first time buying one for myself.
**[07:59] Yume**
A-And you think *I* can help you?
**[08:01] Yume**
I just want your input. Ready?
**[08:04] Mizuto**
Wai—
**[08:14] Yume**
Well?
**[08:16] Mizuto**
Um...
**[08:18] Mizuto**
I-It looks good on you... I think.
**[08:22] Yume**
What was that? Don't you, you know...
**[08:26] Yume**
have more nice things to say?
**[08:29] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[08:34] Mizuto**
You're asking that...
**[08:38] Mizuto**
like it's...
**[08:42] Mizuto**
no big deal...
**[08:46] Mizuto**
You're really devoted to your family, I guess.
**[08:48] Yume**
Huh?
**[08:49] Yume**
Why bring that up?
**[08:52] Mizuto**
What else can I say?!
**[08:53] Mizuto**
I can't just compliment
how you look without... you know?
**[09:01] Yume**
Y-You idiot!
**[09:02] Yume**
I didn't mean me! I m-meant the swimsuit!
**[09:05] Yume**
Like if this color suits me at all!
**[09:07] Yume**
Or if I look cute in this style!
That kind of thing!
**[09:10] Mizuto**
Wait, huh? That's what you meant?
**[09:12] Yume**
I n-never asked you to compliment *me*!
**[09:19] Yume**
I'll go with this one.
**[09:22] Mizuto**
You like it?
**[09:23] Yume**
Y-Yes, *I* like it. It's for *me*.
**[09:30] Yume**
I have to admit I've always appreciated how
willing you are to keep someone company.
**[09:35] Mizuto**
Why, thank you.
**[09:37] Mizuto**
Although I had to for your sake today,
Miss Family-Comes-First.
**[09:41] Yume**
Huh?
**[09:43] Mizuto**
Dad suggested it. Then Yuni-san pushed
for it, so you couldn't say no, right?
**[09:49] Yume**
I guess not.
**[09:50] Mizuto**
It's a kid's job to assuage
their parent's worries, after all.
**[09:55] Yume**
That's an odd way of putting it.
**[09:58] Yume**
I am pleased I got
a swimsuit out of it, though.
**[10:02] Mizuto**
That's good.
**[10:03] Yume**
I got to see you ogle me too.
**[10:07] Mizuto**
You were the one trying to show off.
**[10:14] Yume**
Haven't seen this place in a while, huh?
**[10:18] Mizuto**
I guess so.

**[11:50] Yume**
You keep on commenting on our behavior,
**[11:52] Yume**
so we have no idea how to act anymore!
**[11:54] Yuni**
I'm sorry, honey.
**[11:56] Yuni**
I'm just not used to seeing you get
along so well with a boy, you know?
**[12:04] Mizuto**
* Well, I guess the fact that they can*
* joke about us being a couple*
**[12:08] Mizuto**
*means they genuinely regard us as siblings.*

**[12:32] Yume**
* But what's with that position?*
* Why must she lie on his lap?*
**[12:35] Yume**
*Don't you know that's what a couple would do?*
**[12:38] Yume**
*Or a dog snuggling up to its owner!*
**[12:43] Yume**
*Oh, yeah, you must be so hot.*
**[12:44] Yume**
*Of course you'd want to unzip.*
**[12:46] Yume**
*But what's this little arrangement?!*
**[12:48] Yume**
* I can see your bra strap,*
* not to mention your crazy cleavage.*
**[12:51] Yume**
* That reminds me. What happened*

**[12:54] Yume**
* And what's with you pulling the zipper*

**[12:58] Yume**
*You clearly did that on purpose.*
**[13:02] Yume**
*You're kidding, right?!*

*I get it.*
**[13:04] Yume**
*I know it gets all sweaty and itchy,*

**That's *what's going on.*
**[13:13] Yume**
*Even if he poked her chest on purpose,*
**[13:16] Yume**

**[13:40] Isana**
What did you think?
**[13:41] Mizuto**
It was interesting.
**[13:43] Isana**
Which part?
**[13:45] Mizuto**
The first thing that caught my eye
was how they depicted the scenery.
**[13:49] Mizuto**
But the structure of the narrative
piqued my interest
**[13:52] Mizuto**
with the reveal of the main twist
at the midway point.
**[13:55] Mizuto**
It felt like the director's fetishes
were front and center in the details,
**[14:00] Mizuto**
but overall, the film had a
Hollywood-esque sophistication to it.
**[14:05] Mizuto**
All that combined gave it
an indescribable charm.
**[14:09] Isana**
I feel you on the fetishy part!
**[14:12] Isana**
Wasn't it great how he fondled
his boobs every time without fail?
**[14:17] Mizuto**
That's a gender swap movie
trope though, isn't it?
**[14:20] Mizuto**
As far as I know, gender swap
movies are a pretty niche genre.
**[14:25] Mizuto**
Why is this one masquerading
as a mainstream feature?
**[14:28] Yume**
* I was too distracted with you to*
* watch the movie, Higashira-san.*
**[14:29] Isana**
I think it's awesome that a mainstream movie
is openly flaunting such a blatant fetish!
**[14:34] Mizuto**
It is pretty amazing.
**[14:36] Mizuto**
I guess fetishes inevitably
manifest in creative works.
**[14:40] Isana**
It rules when you can
read a creator like that.
**[14:43] Isana**
You can't help but feel
more in tune with them!
**[14:46] Yume**
* Their conversations are nothing*
* but gobbledygook to me.*
**[14:49] Mizuto**
I'm thirsty. Pour me some.
**[14:52] Yume**
Yeah, yeah.
**[14:53] Yume**
You all right with this cup?
**[14:55] Yume**
I can't be bothered to go get another one.
**[14:57] Mizuto**
Sure.
**[15:03] Mizuto**
I'm beat.
**[15:05] Yume**
You're tired after watching a two-hour movie?
**[15:07] Yume**
Have you no stamina at all?
**[15:09] Mizuto**
I rarely watch animated movies,
**[15:11] Mizuto**
but this one really exceeded
my expectations.
**[15:15] Mizuto**
Hmm? What's wrong?
**[15:17] Isana**
Um... Well...
**[15:21] Isana**
That was an indirect kiss
just now, wasn't it?
**[15:28] Isana**
Huh? That's it?
**[15:30] Isana**
It doesn't faze you at all?
**[15:32] Isana**
Is it just like that with family?
**[15:34] Isana**
Or is it normal for high schoolers?
**[15:40] Isana**
Oh? You really are sleepy.
**[15:44] Isana**
Allow me to return the favor.
**[15:46] Isana**
Now it's my turn to be the pillow.
**[15:50] Mizuto**
Okay, then...
**[15:51] Yume**
Hold it right there! Stop, stop!
**[15:52] Yume**
You can't do that!
**[15:54] Yume**
You just... You can't do that!
**[15:56] Mizuto**
Why not?
**[15:57] Isana**
Yeah, why not?
**[15:58] Yume**
I mean, you know...
**[16:00] Isana**
You'd be lying on a genuine high
school girl's lap, you know?
**[16:03] Isana**
My G-cups look pretty sweet from below too.
**[16:06] Isana**
I could even clean your
ears for you if you'd like.
**[16:10] Isana**
A special offer for my *favorite* customer...
**[16:13] Yume**
Could you not make it sound so suspicious?
**[16:16] Mizuto**
Getting my ears cleaned by you sounds scary...
**[16:21] Isana**
Huh?
**[16:25] Isana**
Does this mean
**[16:27] Isana**
he didn't like the idea of me cleaning
his ears, so he went to you instead?
**[16:32] Yume**
I guess.
**[16:34] Isana**
Excuse me a minute.
**[16:36] Isana**
Do I really seem that incompetent to you?
**[16:39] Yume**
Yup.
**[16:41] Isana**
I'm shocked!
**[16:44] Isana**
I guess you can't stay mad
at that adorable sleeping face.
**[16:50] Yume**
*She must really like him, huh?*
**[16:53] Isana**
Now that I'm here...
**[16:55] Isana**
should I go ahead and clean his ears?
**[16:57] Yume**
Er, I don't think so.
**[16:59] Yume**
Aren't you scared to go poking
around in someone else's ear?
**[17:03] Isana**
Ah, I feel that.
**[17:04] Isana**
I was kind of scared
when my mom did it for me.
**[17:08] Isana**
It's like, would you mind not
snooping around in my ears?
**[17:14] Yume**
Exactly.
**[17:16] Isana**
In that case, maybe I'll kiss him instead.
**[17:18] Yume**
Right...
**[17:20] Yume**
Huh?
**[17:21] Yume**
Higashira-san?
**[17:22] Yume**
Did you say "kiss" just now?
**[17:24] Isana**
He'd be none the wiser if I did.
**[17:27] Yume**
Wait, are you serious?
**[17:29] Yume**
I'm right here, you know?
**[17:33] Isana**
I guess so.
**[17:34] Isana**
Maybe I should wait for
more favorable circumstances.
**[17:38] Isana**
It'd be my first kiss, after all.
**[17:40] Yume**
Even more reason not to do it now.
**[17:42] Yume**
You should really treasure such things.
**[17:46] Isana**
But if there's anyone I want to
do it with, it'd be Mizuto-kun.
**[17:51] Yume**
I'm surprised you're able to restrain
yourself while thinking that.
**[17:54] Isana**
I am trying my best to hold back, you know?
**[17:57] Isana**
I honestly feel like I'm gonna explode
whenever he ruffles up my hair.
**[18:03] Isana**
I finally get what's going through
a light novel heroine's head
**[18:06] Isana**
when her cheeks get all flushed and red.
**[18:08] Isana**
The all-ages version of a game is plenty fun,
**[18:11] Isana**
but if you're gonna play, you'd rather
have the 18+ original, you know?
**[18:16] Isana**
Since we're just buddies, there's only
so much we can do together.
**[18:23] Isana**
That's just how it is.
**[18:25] Isana**
Though adding a certain four-letter word
before "buddies" *would* solve the problem...
**[18:31] Yume**
Hold it.
**[18:32] Yume**
If that's what you're going for,
I can't support you.
**[18:36] Isana**
Don't worry. I understand.
**[18:38] Isana**
Accepting a friend with benefits would be
out-of-character behavior for Mizuto-kun.
**[18:42] Yume**
I thought you were trying
to be coy with the wording...
**[18:46] Isana**
Getting to discuss this stuff with the
hot model student is quite a turn-on.
**[18:51] Yume**
You're disgusting.
**[18:53] Isana**
Well, I'm gonna head home now.
**[18:56] Yume**
O-Okay.
**[18:59] Isana**
It was a pleasure to unlock so many
unique character images today.
**[19:03] Isana**
Like the one of Mizuto-kun's sleeping face.
**[19:05] Isana**
And of him lying on
his brother-obsessed sister.
**[19:08] Yume**
I-I'm not obsessed!
**[19:25] Yume**
Irido-kun...
**[19:34] Yume**
*I finally understand why you hesitated then.*
**[19:39] Yume**
* When reminiscing about the past*
* and longing to go back to how things were,*
**[19:44] Yume**
*you start wishing to relive things together.*
**[19:46] Yume**
* But that's nothing more*
* than lingering feelings.*
**[19:50] Yume**
* And acting on those feelings isn't*
* worth the destruction it would mean*
**[19:54] Yume**
*for our new life together.*
**[19:57] Yume**
* The fact that we broke up and the*
* fact that we became stepsiblings...*
**[20:00] Yume**
*Neither thing can be erased.*

Higashira-san and Mizuto-kun?
**[20:16] Yume**
What do you mean?
**[20:18] Yuni**
I mean, you know?
**[20:19] Yuni**
She's been coming over all the time,
even though it's summer break.
**[20:22] Yume**
Oh...
**[20:24] Yume**
I think they just enjoy each other's company.
**[20:26] Yuni**
They really do, don't they?
**[20:28] Yuni**
She *did* tell me she was his ex...
**[20:30] Yuni**
But maybe she's just hiding the fact
that they're dating because she's shy!
**[20:34] Yume**
Who knows?
**[20:35] Yume**
Well, they did watch another
movie together today.
**[20:38] Yuni**
My goodness!
**[20:39] Yuni**
And? What then?
**[20:40] Yuni**
What do you mean? That's the end.
**[20:43] Yuni**
What?
**[20:44] Yuni**
Can't you, you know, give me any details?
**[20:47] Yuni**
Like, did anything happen?
**[20:49] Yume**
Um...
**[20:51] Yume**
She had her head in his lap at one point.
**[20:54] Yuni**
Whoa!
**[20:55] Yume**
And then he started stroking her head.
**[21:00] Yume**
She even got itchy and started
scratching around in her bra.
**[21:05] Yume**
And right in front of us like it was nothing!
**[21:11] Yuni**
Like a couple who've lived
together for three years?
**[21:13] Yume**
Aren't they?
**[21:16] Yuni**
But still, don't you think
they kind of suit each other?
**[21:19] Yuni**
Mizuto-kun has a mysterious
quality to him too, right?
**[21:22] Yuni**
I think he'd do well with
a free-spirited girl like her, no?
**[21:26] Yume**
It all depends on how
you look at it, I guess.
**[21:28] Yuni**
You'd better keep your wits about you, Yume!
**[21:31] Yume**
What?
**[21:32] Yuni**
You've gotta find yourself a nice boyfriend,
**[21:34] Yuni**
or else Mizuto-kun's gonna leave you behind.
**[21:37] Yume**
Oh, uh... Yeah.
**[21:40] Yuni**
I mean, just look at how cute you've gotten.
**[21:42] Yuni**
I'm sure you'll have one in no time!
**[21:46] Yume**
I don't see it as a competition.
**[21:49] Yume**
You'll just have to wait.
**[21:50] Yuni**
Aw...
**[21:55] Yume**
I don't see myself with
anyone other than Mizuto.
**[22:05] Yume**
Did I really say that just now?

**[03:46] Yuni**
I'm Irido Yuni.
**[03:47] Natsume**
Sorry for not introducing myself sooner.
**[03:51] Yuni**
No, no! The same goes for me.
**[03:54] Natsume**
Now then, you must be Yume-chan.
**[03:56] Yume**
Yes, I'm Irido Yume.
**[03:59] Yume**
Thank you for having us.
**[04:00] Natsume**
My, my! How polite!
**[04:03] Natsume**
What a nice young lady you are.
**[04:05] Natsume**
I trust you're getting along with Mizuto.
**[04:08] Yume**
Y-Yes...
**[04:09] Mineaki**
They're practically closer
than we are, in fact.
**[04:12] Yuni**
It's true! Mizuto's been such a gentleman.
**[04:16] Yuni**
Right, Yume?
**[04:19] Madoka**
Hey, Mizuto-kun! It's been too long!
**[04:24] Mizuto**
Long time no see, Madoka-san.
**[04:26] Madoka**
What a relief. I see you're
still a man of few words.
**[04:30] Madoka**
I wasn't sure what I'd do if you'd decided
to reinvent yourself as a high schooler.
**[04:34] Mizuto**
High school isn't the time
to go reinventing yourself.
**[04:38] Madoka**
Wow, harsh.
**[04:41] Mineaki**
Yuni-san, Yume-chan,
allow me to introduce you.
**[04:44] Mineaki**
These are my uncle's grandchildren.
**[04:46] Mineaki**
I guess that'd make them your
second cousins, Yume-chan.
**[04:50] Mineaki**
Meet Tanesato Madoka-chan
and Tanesato Chikuma-kun.
**[05:03] Madoka**
I see what's going on here.
**[05:05] Yume**
Um, is something the matter?
**[05:07] Madoka**
Not a thing.
**[05:08] Madoka**
Yup, yup...
**[05:10] Madoka**
In just a little bit,
**[05:11] Madoka**
the whole family's going to be having
a welcome barbecue down by the river.
**[05:15] Madoka**
In our swimsuits, of course!
**[05:50] Madoka's Father**
Are you both enjoying the food?
**[05:52] Mineaki**
Yes, we are.
**[05:53] Yuni**
It's delicious.
**[05:55] Madoka's Father**
I gotta say, you did a
fine job raising Mizuto-kun.
**[06:00] Madoka's Father**
You really came through, Mineaki-kun.
**[06:03] Madoka's Father**
It's really something.
**[06:05] Mineaki**
Thank you very much.
**[06:07] Madoka**
Uncle Mineaki became a single father not
long after Mizuto-kun was born.
**[06:14] Madoka**
Apparently, Granny Natsume
helped out from time to time,
**[06:18] Madoka**
but it couldn't have been easy.
**[06:21] Madoka**
The whole family was worried
about him, you know?
**[06:26] Madoka**
Which is why... How should I put it?
***SIGN*** We want to welcome you and Yuni-san with open arms, you could say.

I'm grateful.
**[06:39] Yume**
*It's clearer to me now than ever.*
**[06:42] Yume**
*Mineaki-san remarrying was a testament*
**[06:45] Yume**

**[06:49] Yume**
*Because of that, I have to...*
**[06:50] Yume**

By the way, Yume-chan...
**[06:59] Madoka**
You're so skinny! How is your waist so thin?!
**[07:02] Yume**
I-I'm just not very muscular, that's all.
**[07:04] Madoka**
I'm so freaking jealous!
**[07:06] Madoka**
And that bikini's gorgeous!
**[07:08] Madoka**
Did you pick it out yourself?
**[07:10] Yume**
Um... Well, kinda.
**[07:15] Madoka**
Your boyfriend?
**[07:16] Yume**
No, it's not like that.
**[07:19] Madoka**
I see, I see. Not there yet, huh?
**[07:22] Yume**
Well... not exactly...
**[07:25] Madoka**
Huh?
**[07:26] Madoka**
Wh-Wh-What?!
**[07:28] Madoka**
Do you mean what I think you mean?!
**[07:31] Yume**
N-No way! Absolutely not!
**[07:33] Madoka**
That reaction makes it
even more suspicious!
**[07:35] Yume**
I'm telling you the truth.
**[07:40] Madoka**
I feel a little left out, though.
**[07:42] Madoka**
He never seemed to want to open up to me.
**[07:45] Yume**
Really? I had no idea.
**[07:47] Madoka**
It's true!
**[07:49] Madoka**
I've been watching over
him since kindergarten,
**[07:53] Madoka**
but I get the cold shoulder
whenever I try to talk to him.
**[07:56] Yume**
Does that mean...
**[08:00] Mizuto**
Dad.
**[08:02] Mizuto**
I'm done eating, so I'm heading back.
**[08:03] Mineaki**
Sure. Thanks, kid.
**[08:06] Yume**
*Thanks? For what?*
**[08:09] Mizuto**
Later.
**[08:10] Madoka**
Huh?!
**[08:11] Madoka**
You're kidding! You're leaving already?
**[08:14] Madoka**
We haven't gotten in the water yet!
**[08:16] Mizuto**
I'll pass!
**[08:17] Madoka**
Unbelievable! How can you come
to the river and not even swim?
**[08:22] Madoka**
At the very least, I'm not letting
Yume-chan get away!
**[08:25] Yume**
What?
**[08:26] Madoka**
Off with you!
**[08:26] Yume**
M-Madoka-san, sto—
**[08:29] Madoka**
All right!
**[08:30] Madoka**
Time to settle our tummies
with a little swimming!
**[08:48] Madoka**
Oh, Yume-chan.
**[08:50] Madoka**
Go get some rest once
you're done with those, okay?
**[08:52] Yume**
Are you sure?
**[08:54] Madoka**
This lot isn't going to bed any time soon.
**[08:57] Yume**
Duly noted.
**[08:58] Madoka**
Oh, could you let Mizuto-kun know
it's his turn in the bath?
**[09:02] Madoka**
He's probably in Great-Grandpa's study.
**[09:30] Mizuto**
Oh, it's you. What's up?
**[09:32] Yume**
It's your turn to take a bath.
**[09:34] Mizuto**
That time already?
***SIGN*** The Siberian Dancing Girl
**[09:38] Yume**
You're not going to use a bookmark?
**[09:41] Mizuto**
No need. I remember the whole story anyway.
**[09:43] Yume**
Huh?
**[09:45] Mizuto**
You won't find this book anywhere else, see.
***SIGN*** The Siberian Dancing Girl
**[09:47] Mizuto**
I reread it every time we come back here.
**[09:50] Yume**
"The Siberian Dancing Girl"?
**[09:53] Mizuto**
It's my great-granddad's autobiography.
**[09:56] Yume**
Wow, his autobiography?
**[09:57] Yume**
Wait...
**[09:59] Mizuto**
He published it himself.
**[10:01] Mizuto**
Well, it was never sold or distributed,
so I guess it's just a hand-bound book.
**[10:05] Mizuto**
Pretty weird hobby, huh?
**[10:08] Mizuto**
I'd just started elementary school when
I first stumbled upon it in this study.
**[10:13] Mizuto**
There's no author listed, so it struck
me as mysterious, you know?
**[10:17] Mizuto**
I couldn't help but open it.
***SIGN*** The Siberian Dancing Girl
**[10:20] Mizuto**
I've read it every year since.
**[10:23] Yume**
Is it really that interesting?
**[10:25] Mizuto**
It was full of words I didn't know,
**[10:27] Mizuto**
so it was largely impenetrable
to me at the time.
**[10:30] Mizuto**
And yet, for whatever reason,
I read it through to the end.
***SIGN*** The Siberian Dancing Girl
**[10:34] Mizuto**
It was the first story that I
ever read all by myself.
**[10:38] Yume**
The first story you read by yourself...
**[10:42] Mizuto**
The Siberian Internment.
**[10:43] Mizuto**
After the war, he was held captive in
the Soviet Union for three or four years.
**[10:49] Mizuto**
This book is about his time there.
**[10:52] Yume**
So who's the "dancing girl"?
**[10:54] Mizuto**
Remember Mori Ogai?
**[10:56] Yume**
Elise?
**[10:57] Mizuto**
Exactly. He wrote about a
woman he met in Siberia,
**[11:01] Mizuto**
just like Mori Ogai did in "The Dancing Girl."
**[11:04] Mizuto**
Well, if you want to know the rest,
why not read it for yourself?
**[11:07] Yume**
Huh?
**[11:08] Mizuto**
Books are meant to be read, no?
**[11:11] Mizuto**
If you're so inclined, how about it?
**[11:14] Mizuto**
It's short, so it shouldn't take you long.
**[11:17] Yume**
Are you sure?
**[11:18] Mizuto**
You act like something bad's going to happen.
**[11:21] Mizuto**
I'm gonna go take a bath now.
**[11:23] Yume**
Hey.
**[11:24] Mizuto**
Hmm?
**[11:25] Yume**
Has anyone else ever read this?
**[11:27] Mizuto**
I mean... I really doubt it.
**[11:30] Mizuto**
It was pretty tucked away
when I first found it.
**[11:36] Yume**
*Not Mineaki-san, Natsume-san,*
***SIGN*** The Siberian Dancing Girl
**[11:39] Yume**
*and not even Madoka-san have ever read this.*
**[11:42] Yume**
*The book that shaped Irido Mizuto...*
**[11:45] Yume**
*Does he really not mind sharing it with me?*
**[12:21] Yume**
Oh no, what have I done?
**[12:23] Yume**
I should dab that off...
**[12:45] Yume**
Alone in this study secluded
from the outside world,
**[12:50] Yume**
as if to separate himself from its reach...
**[12:57] Yume**
He's been sequestered in
this room his entire life.
**[13:04] Mizuto**
Make it to the end?
**[13:07] Yume**
Yeah.
**[13:08] Mizuto**
I see.
**[13:10] Yume**
Your great-granddad was in love back then.
**[13:18] Yume**
Say, do you mind... if I ask
what your first love was like?
**[13:22] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[13:28] Mizuto**
I guess you could say she loved to laugh.
**[13:35] Yume**
I see.
**[13:38] Yume**
*I knew it.*
**[13:40] Yume**
*His first love had to be...*
**[13:44] Yume**
*Madoka-san after all.*
***SIGN*** My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex
**[13:51] Natsume**
We've got plenty to choose from,
so pick whichever suits your fancy!
**[13:55] Madoka**
Thanks, Granny!
**[13:58] Madoka**
What kind of yukata would you like, Yume-chan?
**[14:02] Yume**
Hmm...
**[14:03] Madoka**
You're thin, and your hair's nice and long,
**[14:06] Madoka**
so I bet you'd look good
in any traditional clothes.
**[14:08] Madoka**
I can't wait for the summer festival!
**[14:10] Madoka**
The weather's supposed to be good,
so the fireworks should be quite a sight.
**[14:16] Madoka**
Yume-chan?
**[14:19] Madoka**
Did something happen between
you and Mizuto-kun?
**[14:24] Yume**
It's not about anything that he did.
**[14:28] Yume**
I'm just in my own head
about how selfish I've been.
**[14:35] Yume**
*That's it. I finally understand.*
**[14:39] Yume**
*He's his own living, breathing person.*
**[14:42] Yume**
* He isn't some perfect manifestation*
* of my dreams or ideals.*
**[14:47] Yume**
*He ostracized himself from others,*
**[14:49] Yume**
*living in complete isolation before we met.*
**[14:53] Yume**
*It's not crazy to think a boy like him*
**[14:56] Yume**
*would've fallen for someone else before me.*
**[15:02] Madoka**
Are you in love with Mizuto-kun?
**[15:08] Yume**
I don't know...
**[15:11] Yume**
How do you define loving someone?
**[15:17] Madoka**
It's simple, isn't it?
**[15:18] Madoka**
Your heart races when you're near them.
**[15:20] Madoka**
And you find yourself daydreaming
about kissing them.
**[15:23] Madoka**
If that's your experience,
the diagnosis is clear, no?
**[15:25] Yume**
But how is that any different from lust?
**[15:29] Madoka**
Whoa there, now someone's
asking the tough questions.
**[15:32] Yume**
I-I'm sorry.
**[15:34] Madoka**
Listen...
**[15:35] Madoka**
Aren't you constantly invalidating
your own emotions, Yume-chan?
**[15:38] Yume**
Huh?
**[15:40] Madoka**
You're always looking for excuses to
justify *not* being with Mizuto-kun, right?
**[15:45] Yume**
*I'm looking for excuses not to be with him?*
**[15:49] Madoka**
Now, now! Don't look so puzzled.
**[15:52] Madoka**
There's no need to think so hard on it.
**[15:55] Madoka**
Just take the opportunity to
start sorting out those feelings.
**[16:00] Yume**
Y-You say that, but I have
no idea where to start.
**[16:04] Madoka**
No worries! Your cousin's got an idea!
**[16:19] Yume**
*I wonder what exactly she's planning.*
**[16:22] Madoka**
Sorry! Something came up and I just
can't get out of it, you know?
**[16:27] Mizuto**
It's not a problem.
**[16:29] Madoka**
Thanks a ton!
**[16:33] Madoka**
There should be a light bulb somewhere
in that chest of drawers over there,
**[16:37] Madoka**
so have a look for it
with Yume-chan, will you?
**[16:39] Madoka**
I'll leave you all alone
for about half an hour, 'kay?
**[16:42] Madoka**
Absolutely no one, not even Aunt Yuni and
Uncle Mineaki, will be by, you hear?
**[16:47] Yume**
*Th-That was dreadful.*
**[16:49] Yume**
* I didn't realize Madoka-san*
* was such an atrocious liar.*
**[16:54] Mizuto**
What's up?
**[16:57] Mizuto**
You have something you want
to tell me, don't you?
**[16:59] Mizuto**
Why else would you have her arrange this?
**[17:11] Yume**
*I have no idea what to say first.*
**[17:14] Yume**
*I scarcely know what my problem is,*
**[17:18] Yume**
*let alone how to go about solving it.*
**[17:22] Yume**
*After coming here*
**[17:24] Yume**
*and getting to know my new relatives,*
**[17:27] Yume**
*I feel like I'm finally part of the family.*
**[17:31] Yume**
*Then in that old study,*
***SIGN*** The Siberian Dancing Girl
**[17:33] Yume**
* I discovered the book that*
* shaped the boy I know today.*
**[17:37] Yume**
*And in doing so,*
**[17:38] Yume**
*it made me realize how selfish I've been.*
**[17:43] Yume**
* Getting the wrong idea and wasting*
* his time just like I am now...*
**[17:47] Yume**
* Getting mad at him, getting snarky,*
* and treating him unfairly...*
**[17:53] Yume**
* I'm lugging around feelings*
* I should have let go of long ago.*
**[18:00] Yume**
*I get it now. I think I finally understand.*
**[18:04] Yume**
* I know what's wrong with me,*
* how to fix it...*
**[18:08] Yume**
*and what I need to tell him right now.*
**[18:13] Yume**
*It's not gonna make it all better.*
**[18:15] Yume**
*It's going to feel like ripping off the scab*
**[18:19] Yume**
*that's formed over my broken heart.*
**[18:23] Yume**
*I'm sure it'll be painful.*
**[18:25] Yume**
*Excruciating.*
**[18:27] Yume**
*But even so, if I...*
**[18:29] Yume**
*If we're ever going to move on,*
**[18:32] Yume**
*I need to face this*
**[18:34] Yume**
* and finally accept the heartbreak*
* of my first relationship.*
**[18:39] Yume**
Irido-kun...
**[18:43] Yume**
Irido-kun... Irido-kun...
**[18:50] Yume**
*Irido-kun, you were my first love.*
**[18:55] Yume**
*And yet...*
**[18:58] Yume**
*When you said you wanted to break up,*
**[19:01] Yume**
* it felt like a weight was*
* lifted off my shoulders.*
**[19:05] Yume**
*"It's finally over. I'm finally free."*
**[19:08] Yume**
* "I no longer have to feel*
* hurt, sad, or alone anymore."*
**[19:14] Yume**
*That's how I truly felt deep down.*
**[19:18] Yume**
*But still...*
**[19:23] Yume**
*I never wanted us to break up.*
**[19:28] Yume**
*I should have called you that summer.*
**[19:32] Yume**
* And I should have bought you*
* something for Christmas.*
**[19:37] Yume**
* I should have made you*
* chocolate for Valentine's.*
**[19:41] Yume**
*And I should have told you I didn't want to*
**[19:44] Yume**
*when you said we should break up.*
**[19:48] Yume**
* There's just so much I*
* regret not doing, Irido-kun.*
**[19:55] Yume**
Irido-kun...
**[19:58] Yume**
*Stop crying!*
**[20:00] Yume**
*I'm the one who decided to cast aside*
**[20:02] Yume**
*the one person who could wipe away my tears.*
**[20:05] Yume**
*I don't deserve to...*
**[20:07] Mizuto**
Ayai.
**[20:12] Mizuto**
Just this once, let's go back in time, Ayai.
**[20:22] Yume**
Irido-kun...
**[20:23] Yume**
Irido-kun... Irido-kun!
**[20:28] Mizuto**
Ayai...
**[20:38] Mizuto**
So, what was it that you
wanted to talk to me about?
**[20:47] Yume**
Your first love.
**[20:49] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[20:50] Yume**
When I realized it must be Madoka-san,
**[20:53] Yume**
it really bothered me for some reason.
**[20:56] Yume**
I couldn't sit still.
**[20:58] Mizuto**
You think Madoka-san was my first love?
**[21:01] Yume**
Huh?
**[21:02] Yume**
Sh-She wasn't?
**[21:04] Mizuto**
I don't recall ever having feelings for her.
**[21:07] Yume**
B-But yesterday, you said...
**[21:09] Mizuto**
Yesterday?
**[21:12] Mizuto**
I thought you were acting strange after
asking me such a weird question.
**[21:15] Mizuto**
So *that's* what got into your head?
**[21:18] Mizuto**
You've got so much going for you on paper,
**[21:22] Mizuto**
but you're a real mess under
the hood, you know that?
**[21:27] Mizuto**
Your nose is running, by the way.
**[21:29] Yume**
Huh?!
**[21:32] Mizuto**
Just kidding.
**[21:36] Mizuto**
What's so funny?
**[21:38] Yume**
Just that you can be such a child, you know?
**[21:44] Mizuto**
See? Didn't I tell you?
**[21:47] Yume**
Huh?
**[21:48] Mizuto**
My first love loved to laugh.

**[00:01] Madoka**
You look stunning!
**[00:03] Madoka**
Yume-chan, you're gorgeous!
**[00:06] Madoka**
A walking firework blooming
before our very eyes!
**[00:08] Madoka**
This year's show is gonna be a total flop!
**[00:10] Yume**
Er, that's enough, Madoka-san.
**[00:14] Madoka**
Why, you ask?
**[00:15] Madoka**
Because everyone's eyes will be on *you*!
**[00:18] Yume**
Are you making fun of me?
**[00:20] Madoka**
Nonsense! I'm speaking from the heart.
**[00:23] Madoka**
Doesn't she look cute, Chikuma?
**[00:25] Chikuma**
Yeah...
**[00:26] Madoka**
Oh, Mizuto-kun's here.
**[00:36] Madoka**
Well? Whaddya think, Mizuto-kun?
**[00:37] Madoka**
Isn't she beautiful?
**[00:41] Yume**
C-Can...
**[00:43] Madoka & Mizuto**
Hmm?
**[00:43] Yume**
Can I... Can I get a picture?!
**[00:46] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[00:48] Madoka**
Okay! One picture coming right up!
**[00:50] Yume**
Huh?
**[00:51] Madoka**
Make sure to get a good angle, Mizuto-kun.
**[00:53] Yume**
Er, no... I didn't mean of me.

What made you come with us?
**[02:40] Yume**
Don't you hate big crowds like this?
**[02:43] Mizuto**
Madoka doesn't have anyone else, you know?
**[02:46] Mizuto**
She makes a point of dragging
me here every year.
**[02:50] Mizuto**
I've given up trying to resist at this point.
**[02:55] Mizuto**
I could ask you the same.
Don't you hate big crowds too?
**[03:01] Yume**
I suppose I don't have good memories of them.
**[03:04] Madoka**
We're back!
**[03:06] Madoka**
The restrooms were packed,
so it took us a bit.
**[03:09] Madoka**
Why don't you two hold hands too?
**[03:11] Madoka**
That way, you won't get separated.
**[03:13] Mizuto**
We're not children.
**[03:15] Mizuto**
Besides, even if we did get separated,
I'd just head back home—
**[03:21] Mizuto**
What are you doing?
**[03:23] Yume**
This is normal between siblings.
**[03:26] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[03:27] Yume**
It's my responsibility as your
older sister to keep you close.
**[03:30] Madoka**
Exactly!
**[03:32] Madoka**
Couldn't have said
it better myself, Yume-chan!
**[03:33] Mizuto**
Have you forgotten?
**[03:36] Mizuto**
I'm the older brother, remember?
**[03:37] Yume**
Fine by me. Doesn't matter either way.
**[03:41] Madoka**
All the same, it's your responsibility
as the older brother to keep her close.
**[03:47] Mizuto**
Fine.
**[03:48] Mizuto**
All I have to do is hold your hand, right?
**[03:50] Yume**
Look at you, doing as you're told.
**[03:53] Mizuto**
Shut up.
**[03:55] Yume**
* I feel so much lighter after*
* crying my eyes out yesterday.*
**[04:00] Yume**
* It's like I finally let go of all the*
* needless baggage I was carrying around.*
**[04:06] Madoka**
Is there anything you guys want to eat?
**[04:09] Madoka**
Granny gave us plenty of spending money,
so feel free to go wild, okay?
**[04:14] Mizuto**
Festival stalls are always
so expensive, though.
**[04:17] Mizuto**
I feel like we should just go
to the convenience store.
**[04:20] Madoka**
Don't get your hopes up.
**[04:22] Madoka**
We're in the countryside.
You're not gonna find one around here.

Avenge Chikuma, would you?
**[05:06] Mizuto**
All right, one shot and that's it.
**[05:10] Madoka**
Go help him, Yume-chan.
**[05:13] Madoka**
As his big sister.
**[05:14] Yume**
What? Um, but...
**[05:16] Madoka**
What's this now?
**[05:17] Madoka**
You'd just be holding your
little brother from behind.
**[05:21] Madoka**
What could you possibly be flustered about?
**[05:29] Mizuto**
Hey...
**[05:30] Yume**
H-Hey! Quit looking at me
and focus on aiming!
**[05:35] Yume**
Aren't you a little off to the right?
**[05:36] Mizuto**
No, I'm not.
**[05:38] Yume**
Yes, you are!
**[05:39] Mizuto**
Quit nagging me. Is this better?
**[05:42] Yume**
You're too far left!
**[05:44] Yume**
More to the right.
Yeah, just a little more...
**[05:47] Yume**
*Th-This is bad...*
**[05:49] Yume**
* I don't think my legs can*
* hold out much longer.*
**[05:51] Yume**
*A-At this rate, my chest is gonna...*
**[05:55] Mizuto**
This is it.
**[06:06] Yume**
Doesn't suit you one bit.
**[06:08] Mizuto**
Have you no concept of the
phrase "keep it to yourself"?
**[06:12] Mizuto**
Here.
**[06:17] Chikuma**
Th-Thanks.
**[06:19] Madoka**
Wasn't that nice of him, Chikuma?
**[06:21] Yume**
How did you know he wanted it?
**[06:24] Mizuto**
It's a character from the game
he's been playing recently.
**[06:29] Yume**
Really? I'm surprised you
noticed something like that.
**[06:35] Yume**
To think you're this socially
awkward with kids too.
**[06:39] Mizuto**
What do you mean "too"?
**[06:40] Mizuto**
When have I ever been socially awkward?
**[06:43] Yume**
I'm starting to feel resistance to the idea
of letting you be the older brother.
**[06:47] Mizuto**
Better that than letting you
be the older sister.
**[06:51] Mizuto**
Speaking of, did you do
that on purpose earlier?
**[06:55] Yume**
N-Never in a million years!
**[06:57] Mizuto**
That's a relief.
**[06:59] Mizuto**
I'm glad my stepsister
isn't a complete pervert.
**[07:02] Yume**
Perv—?!
**[07:03] Yume**
Wh-What's got you so hot
and bothered about it anyway?
**[07:06] Yume**
I thought you'd be used to it
after hanging out with Higashira-san.
**[07:09] Mizuto**
She comes at me without a second thought,
**[07:12] Mizuto**
but when you do it,
I can tell you're nervous.
**[07:15] Mizuto**
Try to relax for once.
**[07:17] Yume**
Wha—
**[07:18] Yume**
Y-You're making it sound like
Higashira-san's better with boys than I am!
**[07:22] Madoka**
Okay, okay!
**[07:24] Madoka**
Time to get a move on, you two!
**[07:30] Madoka**
Oh, look over there!
It's Uncle Mineaki and Aunt Yuni.
**[07:33] Yume**
Who are they talking to?
**[07:35] Madoka**
What was her name again?
**[07:36] Madoka**
We used to be pretty big in
town back in the day, you see.
**[07:40] Madoka**
So lots of older folks
around here know the family.
**[07:43] Yuni**
Yume! Mizuto-kun!
**[07:48] Yuni**
Perfect timing.
**[07:50] Yuni**
Kedouin-san, this is my daughter.
**[07:52] Yume**
I'm Irido Yume.
**[07:53] Kedouin**
My goodness. What a pretty young lady you are.
**[07:57] Kedouin**
I see Mizuto-kun finally has someone
to call family other than his father.
**[08:02] Kedouin**
When I heard what happened from Natsume,
I was worried sick.
**[08:05] Kedouin**
I'm sure you have your hands full
getting used to your new lives,
**[08:08] Kedouin**
but do remember to look after Mizuto-kun.
**[08:12] Yume**
Of course.
**[08:14] Yume**
*How strange...*
**[08:16] Yume**
* She makes it sound as if he can't survive*
* without someone there to watch over him.*
**[08:21] Kedouin**
We've reserved the perfect viewing
spot for the fireworks for you all.
**[08:26] Kedouin**
I can take you there, if you'd like.
**[08:28] Mineaki**
Thank you as always.
**[08:30] Yuni**
The fireworks show starts at eight, right?
**[08:33] Mineaki**
Yeah.
**[08:34] Yuni**
We still have some time before the fireworks.
**[08:36] Yuni**
What would you all like to do?
**[08:38] Yuni**
Oh? Where'd Mizuto-kun go?
**[08:40] Yume**
What?
**[08:42] Madoka**
Uh-oh, he's run off on his own again, has he?
**[08:45] Madoka**
Mizuto-kun always disappears
right before the fireworks every year.
**[08:52] Yume**
*I see... That explains it.*
**[08:56] Yume**
*I get it now.*
**[08:58] Yume**
* Mizuto was probably*
* uncomfortable in that setting.*
**[09:01] Yume**
*So that's why...*
**[09:03] (Flashback) Mineaki**
Sure. Thanks, kid.
**[09:05] Yume**
* His dad must have been thanking him*
* for coming along anyway.*
**[09:09] Yume**
* But it's not that Mizuto*
* is uninterested in his relatives.*
**[09:14] Yume**
*If he were completely indifferent to them,*
**[09:16] Yume**
* he never would've thought*
* to give Chikuma that toy.*
**[09:21] (Flashback) Mizuto**
I'm sorry, but I can't go out with you.
**[09:25] (Flashback) Mizuto**
I'm selfish.
**[09:27] (Flashback) Mizuto**
I can't be attentive to more
than one person at a time.
**[09:31] (Flashback) Mizuto**
And the one slot that I have...
**[09:33] (Flashback) Mizuto**
It's already occupied by someone else,
even though she doesn't deserve it.
**[09:40] (Flashback) Yume**
It must be pretty windy out, huh?
**[09:43] Mizuto**
*Oh... Yeah.*
**[09:46] Mizuto**
*Ayai?*
**[09:47] (Flashback) Yume**
Hmm?
**[09:48] Mizuto**
*Never mind.*
**[09:51] Mizuto**
*Actually, my battery's getting pretty low.*
**[09:55] Yume**
* Why couldn't we talk*
* while his phone was charging?*

**[10:34] Yume**
* They fit together like puzzle pieces,*
* one after another,*
**[10:40] Yume**
*forming a three-dimensional image of him.*
**[10:43] Yume**
*One I never knew.*
**[10:45] Yume**
* A picture of him I never would have seen*

**[10:49] Yume**
*But still...*
**[10:51] Yume**
I'm going to go find him.
**[10:53] Madoka**
Yeah, go get him.

**[13:05] Mizuto**
*something stirred deep within me.*
**[13:08] Mizuto**
*How could such a weak person exist?*
**[13:10] Mizuto**
* Someone so weak that she'd*

**[13:13] Mizuto**
*if there were no one else around...*
**[13:15] Mizuto**
* If I abandoned her here, I thought*

**[13:22] Mizuto**

**[14:08] Yume**
* You shouldn't pity him*

**[14:11] Yume**
* You should pity him because he lost*
* the one thing that meant something to him.*
**[14:15] Yume**
*And that was...*
**[14:21] Yume**
You sure like dark and dingy places, huh?
**[14:25] Yume**
A wimp trying to turn over a new leaf, perhaps?
**[14:28] Mizuto**
Have you just come to ridicule me?
**[14:30] Mizuto**
To tell me I'm a loser who can't even
interact with his own family?
**[14:33] Yume**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[14:35] Yume**
I figured that much out ages ago.
**[14:38] Yume**
It'd be pointless to dredge up.
**[14:42] Yume**
Remember our first date
at the summer festival two years ago?
**[14:46] Yume**
I got lost and called you up in tears.
**[14:51] Mizuto**
Huh?
**[14:52] Yume**
I wonder how many days
had passed after that...
**[14:55] Yume**
when you called me up
out of the blue that one night.
**[14:59] Yume**
I remember it.
**[15:01] Yume**
I could hear the faint rustling
of trees in the background.
**[15:05] Yume**
You were here, weren't you?
**[15:08] Yume**
You know...
**[15:09] Yume**
You must have really liked me, huh?
**[15:18] Yume**
Say, do you remember
**[15:20] Yume**
the date of when we shared our first kiss?
**[15:23] Mizuto**
October 27th, wasn't it?
**[15:26] Mizuto**
It was exactly two months
after we had started dating.
**[15:30] Yume**
I knew you'd remember.
**[15:32] Mizuto**
And how's that?
**[15:33] Yume**
You were able to unlock my phone, were you not?
**[15:38] Mizuto**
You shouldn't be using a date
as a password, you know.
**[15:42] Yume**
You say that...
**[15:44] Yume**
but the fact that your
instinct was to type "1027"
**[15:47] Yume**
must mean you used it
yourself at one point, no?
**[15:53] Yume**
That's right...
We'd been dating exactly two months.
**[15:56] Yume**
I felt that if we didn't do it then,
I'd have to wait a whole month to try again.
**[16:01] Yume**
So I was a little frantic at the time.
**[16:03] Mizuto**
I was sure you'd fallen for some dodgy
advice you'd read online or in a magazine.
**[16:09] Yume**
I might have perused a few articles,
but it was purely for research purposes.
**[16:14] Mizuto**
Either way, it's you we're talking about.
**[16:16] Mizuto**
There's no way you'd have
done something so bold
**[16:18] Mizuto**
without reading about it first.
**[16:21] Yume**
Well, sorry for being so "by the book"!
**[16:24] Yume**
You could at least praise
your girlfriend for being so courageous!
**[16:27] Mizuto**
You were very brave.
**[16:29] Mizuto**
You must have really practiced
that kissing face too.
**[16:31] Yume**
How did you know?
**[16:33] Mizuto**
I knew the moment I saw it.
**[16:35] Mizuto**
There's no way you'd pull something
like that off on your first try.
**[16:39] Yume**
You jerk!
**[16:40] Yume**
I'm pretty good at improv from time to time.
**[16:44] Mizuto**
Only because I'm usually the one
backing you up after the fact.
**[16:48] Yume**
Oh, you're always so condescending.
**[16:50] Yume**
Don't you realize you'd be a better
catch if you'd just bite your tongue?
**[16:53] Mizuto**
What reason do I have to try to adhere
to your taste in men now?
**[16:57] Yume**
You're right.
**[16:59] Yume**
There'd be little point in it.
**[17:01] Yume**
It'd just end in disappointment
for the both of us.
**[17:03] Mizuto**
You took the words right out of my mouth.
**[17:11] Yume**
Say...
**[17:12] Mizuto**
What?
**[17:14] Yume**
Why did you decide to go out with me?
**[17:17] Mizuto**
I probably would've been fine with anyone.
**[17:20] Yume**
What?!
**[17:22] Mizuto**
It was all just a twist of fate.
**[17:24] Mizuto**
A mere coincidence, wouldn't you say?
**[17:26] Mizuto**
Suppose I were to have met
Higashira before I met you.
**[17:31] Mizuto**
In that case, we never would have dated.
**[17:35] Mizuto**
But the reality is...
**[17:37] Mizuto**
you're the one I met.
**[17:40] Mizuto**
In a simple game of musical chairs,
whoever gets there first wins.
**[17:44] Mizuto**
If you're looking for a simple answer,
that's the one I'd give.
**[17:50] Mizuto**
Are you satisfied?
**[17:52] Yume**
Yeah.
**[17:58] Yume**
It's almost time.
**[17:59] Mizuto**
Hmm?
**[18:00] Yume**
For the fireworks we never saw two years ago.
**[18:09] Yume**
We finally get to see them together.
**[18:28] Yume**
Hey... look at me.
**[18:38] Yume**
*Not as Ayai Yume, but as Irido Yume...*
**[18:42] Yume**
*I bestow unto you the second first kiss of my life.*
**[18:47] Yume**
*I assure you I will vanquish...*
**[18:50] Yume**
* the girl who's seized*
* that one slot in your heart.*
**[18:55] Yume**
*No matter how much you may love Ayai Yume,*
**[19:07] Yume**
* I, Irido Yume, vow that I will*
* win you over in the end.*
**[19:21] Madoka**
Hey, tell me already! How'd yesterday go?
**[19:25] Yume**
I think we made a big step forward, at least.
**[19:28] Madoka**
Let's go!
**[19:30] Madoka**
If anything ever happens, call me, okay?!
**[19:32] Madoka**
You have my full support—
**[19:34] Madoka**
O-Ouch!
**[19:34] Madoka**
Wh-What was that for, Chikuma?!
**[19:36] Madoka**
Is this your rebellious phase?!
**[19:40] Yume**
Chikuma-kun?
**[19:43] Madoka**
Wait, seriously? Is *that* what's going on?
**[19:47] Madoka**
Um, how do I put this delicately?
**[19:50] Madoka**
My condolences, I suppose.
**[19:55] Natsume**
I can't thank you enough, Yume-chan.
**[19:59] Natsume**
Take care of Mizuto for me, will you?
**[20:02] Yume**
He's very capable,
**[20:04] Yume**
so I'm sure he doesn't need my help.
**[20:07] Yume**
But it would be my pleasure.
**[20:09] Yume**
You wouldn't know it,
but he gets quite lonely sometimes.
**[20:15] Mizuto**
What were you talking about with Granny?
**[20:17] Yume**
Take a wild guess.
**[20:20] Mizuto**
Why are you acting so weird?
**[20:22] Yume**
Don't worry about it.
**[20:24] Yume**
We're stepsiblings, after all, Mizuto-kun.
**[20:29] Mizuto**
Talk about stating the obvious, Yume-san.
**[20:39] Isana**
What is the meaning of this, Mizuto-kun?!
**[20:41] Isana**
Who is this flagrant playboy?!
**[20:44] Kogure**
What the hell's going on, Irido?!
**[20:46] Kogure**
Who's the chick with the massive jugs?!
**[20:48] Akatsuki**
You stupid horndog.
**[20:51] Isana**
I'm your only friend, right, Mizuto-kun?!
**[20:53] Isana**
Right?!
**[20:54] Kogure**
To think you'd go fooling around with this
chick when you already have Irido-san...
**[20:58] Kogure**
I'm disappointed in you.
**[21:00] Kogure**
I thought you were better than that!
**[21:02] Mizuto**
Kawanami, this is Higashira Isana.
**[21:06] Mizuto**
She's just a friend I met recently
and hit it off with.
**[21:10] Kogure**
A friend you met recently and hit it off with?
**[21:13] Mizuto**
Higashira, this is Kawanami Kogure.
**[21:16] Mizuto**
He's just a classmate who declared himself
my friend and insists on following me around.
**[21:21] Isana**
Someone who insists on following you around?
**[21:24] Isana**
Now I get it.
**[21:25] Isana**
He's your stalker, isn't he?
**[21:28] Kogure**
Now I get it.
**[21:29] Kogure**
She's a succubus who's chosen you as her prey.
**[21:31] Mizuto**
How did you arrive at *those* conclusions?
**[21:33] Kogure**
Did you think he'd be an easy target
just because he's a nerd?
**[21:36] Kogure**
Well, too bad for you,
but Irido isn't that shallow.
**[21:40] Kogure**
Why don't you give up the charade
before you take a hit to your pride?
**[21:43] Isana**
H-How could you so thoughtlessly
prod at an open wound?!
**[21:46] Kogure**
Oh dear, so you already got the rug
pulled out from under you, did you?
**[21:51] Kogure**
Serves you right—
**[21:53] Kogure**
Ow, ow, ow, ouch!
**[21:56] Akatsuki**
There's nothing going on
between her and Irido-kun, okay?
**[21:59] Akatsuki**
They're just good friends.
**[22:01] Akatsuki**
The fact that you suspect funny business
is your sick little mind at work.
**[22:06] Akatsuki**
You hear me?
**[22:07] Kogure**
I'd rather not take lip from
the chick with the sickest mind of all!
**[22:11] Akatsuki**
What was that?
**[22:14] Isana**
Mizuto-kun and I just really click!
**[22:17] Isana**
It's because of love-obsessed
wannabe players like you
**[22:20] Isana**
that I can't stand extroverts!
**[22:23] Yume**
You're not convincing anyone while
glued to each other like that.
**[22:28] Yume**
Hands off for one second!
**[22:31] Yume**
I'm happy you finally made friends,
unlike back in middle school,
**[22:36] Yume**
my dear little brother.
**[22:37] Mizuto**
And I'm thrilled you actually got
something out of reinventing yourself,
**[22:41] Mizuto**
my dear little sister.
