# My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex
A boy and a girl started dating in middle school. They were lovey-dovey at first, but due to a misunderstanding over something trivial, they started feeling more frustration than excitement... In the end, they broke up when they graduated. However, Mizuto Irido and Yume Ayai meet again in a surprising way before they start high school. "Obviously I'm the older brother here." "Obviously I'm the older sister here." The child of their parent's new spouse is the ex they just broke up with?! Out of consideration for their parents, this former couple comes up with a "sibling rule," which is: "Whoever starts seeing the other as potentially attractive loses." But they sometimes run into each other right after a bath. They're also alone on their way to and from school, so... Because of the memories they share and because of this situation where they live under the same roof, how can they help but pay attention to each other?!

**[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!

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?*

You mean those guys that swarmed me?

They don't have the guts

but they assume *you're* a pushover,

**[14:09] Yume**
I hate people like that.

Don't let it bother you.

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...

**[17:48] 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**
*Guess I'll switch legs.*
**[18:33] Yume**
* Ha, he looked! He definitely*
* looked! So easy to read.*
**[18:38] Yume**
* To think the guy who's always*
* acting so cool-headed*
**[18:41] ---**
*would lose his composure like this.*
**[18:50] Yume**
*O-Oh no! It's gonna... It's...*
**[18:54] ---**
*H-He's gonna see!*
**[18:56] Yume**
*Huh, wait.*
**[18:59] Yume**
* Hold on a sec. It looks like I'm*
* trying to seduce him, doesn't it?!*
**[19:07] Yume**
*I think I got too carried away!*
**[19:09] ---**
Japan Sinks
**[19:21] Yume**
W-Wait...
**[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!
**[20:24] Yume**
I'm gonna go get in my pajamas—

**[20:54] Mizuto**
Ayai.
**[20:59] Yume**
S-Stop... The rules...
**[21:04] Mizuto**
I don't mind
**[21:06] Mizuto**
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!
**[21:22] Mizuto**
Uh...
**[21:23] Mineaki**
Is it all right if I leave
everything in the corridor here?
**[21:26] Yuni**
Yeah.
**[21:27] Mizuto**
Here!
**[21:28] Yume**
Huh?!
**[21:29] Mineaki & Yuni**
We're home!
**[21:31] Mineaki**
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.
**[21:39] Yuni**
Really? Aw, I brought back gifts.
**[21:41] Yume**

**[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

*Isn't this girl in my class?*
**[03:19] Yume**
*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...*

*No, I won't let that happen. I can do this!*

**[06:20] Mizuto**
I give up.

That's not an option!

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?

Was it hard becoming siblings

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**
Now, open up!
**[16:22] Akatsuki**
Well? Do you like it?
**[16:26] Akatsuki**
Really?! What a relief!
**[16:29] Akatsuki**
Now, one more bite!
**[16:29] Mizuto**
*What am I even watching here?*
**[16:33] Akatsuki**
Tell her I said to get better soon.
**[16:35] Mizuto**
Yeah, I'll pass it on.
**[16:37] Akatsuki**
Hey, can I ask you something?
***SIGN*** Irido
***SIGN*** You and Yume-chan are just siblings, right?
**[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**

*Now's my chance!*
**[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.

*In the end, we were both being idiots.*

**[11:22] Yume**
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
despite his quiet demeanor,

he's actually kinda cute.

**[12:24] Yume**
I just remembered I was
supposed to pick something up.
**[12:27] Yume**
My hands are full at the moment,
so can I ask you to go get it for me?
**[12:30] Mizuto**
*Ugh...*

Please.

*"Please"?*
**[12:36] Mizuto**
*It's strange to hear you ask so nicely.*
**[12:39] Yume**
Oh, shut up.
**[12:41] Yume**
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?*
**[12:50] Yume**
Let's see...
**[12:51] Mizuto**
*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.*
**[10:24] Yume**

***SIGN*** My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex
**[11:37] Yume**
*Why did he say that?*
**[11:39] Yume**
*He's being so nice to me today.*
**[11:43] Yume**
*Charming and kind. A true gentlemen.*
**[11:46] Yume**
*It's far better than the usual tempest*
**[11:48] Yume**
*of mockery and cynical comments.*
**[11:50] Yume**
* This is infinitely preferable*
* to the infuriating and incessant*
**[11:53] Yume**
*bickering we always fall into.*
**[11:56] Yume**
*And yet...*
**[11:58] Yume**
*What is it that I want, exactly?*
**[12:02] Yume**
* 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...*

Hey, Irido-kun! Fancy seeing you here.
**[18:28] Mizuto**
Yeah. What a coincidence, Minami-san.
**[18:37] Akatsuki**
I'm sorry!
**[18:38] Akatsuki**
I really shouldn't have snuck
into your house like that!
**[18:41] Akatsuki**
I didn't mean any harm.
**[18:43] Akatsuki**
You forgot to lock the front door,
so I just couldn't help myself, you know?
**[18:52] Akatsuki**
You're gonna tell Yume-chan, aren't you?
**[18:54] Akatsuki**
About me.
**[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**
When crushing one's rivals in love,
**[20:11] Akatsuki**
the best course of action is to
force your way between them,

*I'd be a failure of a detective.*

**[20:40] Yume**
*No!*
**[20:41] Yume**
*I'm not gonna let it end like this!*
**[20:43] Mizuto**

So many hotties in my camera roll...
**[21:38] Mizuto**
Hey, Nee-san?
**[21:40] Yume**
Eh?
**[21:41] Mizuto**
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**
Morning, Yume-chan!
**[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**
When it comes to Minami Akatsuki,
you won't find a better man for the job.
**[23:15] Mizuto**
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.
**[23:36] Akatsuki**
Really?! Sweet!

**[02:57] Yume**
You forgot? I reminded you a week ago!
**[03:03] Mizuto**
I don't see why we need to go
buy a present together, though.
**[03:07] Yume**
It'll make her think we're still getting along.
**[03:11] Yume**
I thought you'd feel less awkward
if we gave her one together.
**[03:15] Yume**
And we can split the cost this way, right?

That last one is the real reason, no?

It's the thought that counts, after all.
Not the price tag.

**[04:02] Yume**
I'd have thought gawking at your sister
because she dolled up a bit
**[04:05] Yume**
constituted breaking the rules,
dear little brother.
**[04:18] Mizuto**
It's so crowded.
**[04:19] Yume**
It's always like this on weekends.
**[04:22] Yume**
I guess you wouldn't know
since you stay cooped up.
**[04:24] Mizuto**
I stay cooped up *because*
I know it's like this.
**[04:31] Mizuto**
M-My bad. Gimme a sec. I'll get off you.
**[04:35] Yume**
Uh, no... Stop.

You always make our lunches in

**[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!

**[10:10] Mizuto**
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*** Kawanami
***SIGN*** And Irido-san can stay at Minami's!
***SIGN*** She lives right next door, so you'll
have less to worry about, right?
***SIGN*** See you next Saturday, then!
**[10:25] Yume**
Next door?
***SIGN*** I'd like to give my parents some alone time.
Could you help us out?

***SIGN*** Kawanami
***SIGN*** Sure thing. You can stay at my place

**[10:27] Mizuto**
Yeah, I was surprised too.
**[10:28] Mizuto**
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**
Between your hands and that wall,
it's only a matter of time before one gives out!

Let me be clear, Kawanami.
**[13:25] Mizuto**
There's no way I'm taking this lying down.
**[13:28] Kogure**
Hey!
**[13:30] Kogure**
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!
**[13:36] Kogure**
Anything but that, Irido!

**[13:58] Yume**
Wait! Stop, Akatsuki-san! Stop!
**[14:01] Yume**
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?
**[14:24] Mizuto**
And you're telling me you two aren't close?
**[14:33] Akatsuki**
*Dang it.*

Like true childhood friends.

Childhood friends?!

Like I'd be caught dead with this idiot!

I suppose you wouldn't know how
to use a drink fountain, would you?
**[15:36] Yume**
Given your lack of friends, what occasion
have you to visit a restaurant like this?

I could say the same to you.

one is supposed to mix

**[15:56] Yume**
and create one's own unique blend.
**[15:59] Mizuto**
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!
**[16:28] Kogure**
It's almost like you two are siblings!
**[16:31] Mizuto & Yume**
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*** Read
***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!

***SIGN*** In case of emergency, break this wall and

**[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.

I was hoping to stop by the study hall today.
**[00:09] Akatsuki**
Aw, really?

No sulking, Aki.
**[00:14] Maki**
You'll make her feel bad.
**[00:16] Nasuka**
And midterms start tomorrow, after all.
**[00:19] Nasuka**
Maybe *we* should be the ones feeling bad.
**[00:22] Yume**
I-I wouldn't say that...
**[00:25] Maki**
You took the top score

And right now, I have no way of confirming.

There's no way you didn't know

**[06:28] Mizuto**
I didn't have time.

But she's already calling you "Mizuto."
**[19:50] Yume**

**[19:55] Yume**
But we're siblings, so I don't
have a reason to be jealous.

Mizuto-kun.
**[22:19] Isana**
This is the second time in my life
that I've wished I was born a boy.
**[22:25] Isana**
The first time was when I got my period.
**[22:28] Isana**
I yearn for a body that doesn't
bleed from the nether regions.
**[22:34] Mizuto**
You're hearing this, right?
**[22:36] Mizuto**
You really think a girl would talk
like that to the guy she liked?
**[22:48] Akatsuki**
That said, they sure seem
to get along, don't they?
**[22:51] Akatsuki**
And I was all set to help her out
if she was interested in him...
**[22:55] Akatsuki**
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.*

There's nothing to be scared of.

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**

**[04:36] Isana**
You think I love Mizuto-kun?

**[05:18] Akatsuki**
Well? Do you admit it now?
**[05:24] Isana**

**[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.

**[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*

I'm sorry, Higashira-san.

We won't ask you to change

I think you're better off staying
true to yourself anyway.

I think you're right.

Your lack of confidence still

My lack of confidence?

If you believed in yourself a little more,

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.

I'm awkward. And annoying.

At least your confidence

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.

are you excited that your stepbrother's
about to get a girlfriend?
**[16:09] Yume**
You think he'll say yes?
**[16:12] Akatsuki**
Don't you? I mean, that's the typical thing.
**[16:15] Akatsuki**
But I guess Irido-kun
isn't your typical guy, huh?
**[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.
**[16:28] Akatsuki**
I guess he probably doesn't.
**[16:31] Akatsuki**
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**

could jiggle so much.

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,*
**[09:01] Yume**
*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.

Your stunning legs are

There aren't many girls who can pull
off white skinny jeans, you know?

*We chickened out. Why, you ask?*
**[12:36] Mizuto**
*Because we were dating.*
**[12:38] Mizuto**
* And being alone in a room together has*
* different implications when you're a couple.*

***SIGN*** Higashira Isana
I'm here!
***SIGN*** Irido
**[12:53] Mizuto**
It's up on the second floor.
**[12:55] Isana**
Th-Thanks for having me...
**[12:57] Mizuto**
She's just a friend, all right?
**[13:04] Isana**
Wow...
**[13:06] Isana**
So this is your collection, huh?
**[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.

***SIGN*** Higashira Isana
I require assistance~~~
**[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.

This is my first time having

**[02:22] Yume**
Don't ever bring another girl

**[02:28] Mizuto**
Well, have a seat.

*there?*

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

*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.

Something happen?

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,

so I plucked up the courage to
talk to her and we really clicked.

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?

Who's that?
**[10:41] Mizuto**
There should be a chapter

**[10:42] Yume**
That's where I sit...
**[10:43] Girl**
Oh, yeah!
**[10:44] Girl**
It'd be easier to pick

**[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.

* 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.*

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

I apologize for what happened
in the library, okay?
**[15:34] 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.*

*It was agony.*
**[21:12] Mizuto**
*I was in pain.*

*I was miserable.*
**[21:17] Mizuto**
* And the strife caused by those opposing*

Huh? Really?
**[22:08] Mizuto**
As I recall, you said that was your

***SIGN*** I Want to Eat Your Pancreas
**[22:13] Mizuto**

Huh?

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

Go ahead and laugh for all I care.

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.

Give it back!

It's your fault for looking frozen stiff!
**[23:32] Yume**
No, it's your fault for wimping out.

You coward!

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

***SIGN*** The Kyoto Times
**[05:28] Mineaki**
Pretty much all there is to do

**[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.

Also, um...
**[11:27] Mizuto**
Hmm?
**[11:28] Yume**
I-If ever you happen to have
any more recommendations...
**[11:33] Mizuto**
Y-Yeah, of course...
**[11:37] Mineaki**
Aren't you two acting a little awkward?
**[11:40] Yuni**
Now you're like a couple working up
the nerve to pop the question.
**[11:43] Mineaki**
I remember when we got to that stage.
**[11:46] Yuni**
Right?
**[11:47] Yume**
Oh, give me a break!
**[11:48] Yume**
What do you want from us?!
**[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.*

*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,*

**[12:51] 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?

N-Nice to meet you too!
**[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.

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?*

*And ever since we became family...*
**[10:31] Yume**
*I've gotten to see many facets of Irido Mizuto.*
**[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*
* if I'd stayed just his girlfriend.*
**[10:49] Yume**
*But still...*
**[10:51] Yume**
I'm going to go find him.
**[10:53] Madoka**
Yeah, go get him.

**[13:08] Mizuto**
*How could such a weak person exist?*
**[13:10] Mizuto**
* Someone so weak that she'd*

**[13:13] Mizuto**

**[13:15] Mizuto**
* If I abandoned her here, I thought*

**[13:22] Mizuto**

**[14:11] Yume**
* You should pity him because he lost*

**[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.
