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

We're walking to school separately

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

You must have aced the entrance exam

[11:52] Nasuka(?)
How much did you study?
[11:54] Yume
Not much... is what I'd like to say,
[11:57] Yume
but honestly, I studied day and night.
[11:59] Yume
I still don't feel like
I'm truly free from it.

Nagimi Middle. Why?
[12:27] Boy B
Huh. You play video games?
[12:30] Mizuto
No, not really.
[12:31] Boy B
Gotcha.
[12:32] Mizuto
Wh-What's going on?
[12:32] Boy B
Just thought it might be fun
to play together if you did.
[12:33] Mizuto
Why are people flocking to me now?
[12:35] Boy A
Um...
[12:37] Boy A
So anyway...
[12:39] Boy A
Is it true you and Irido-san are stepsiblings?
[12:47] Mizuto
They really caught me off guard with that.
[12:50] Mizuto
But that girl...
[12:52] Mizuto
Did she really tell everyone
we're stepsiblings?
[12:56] Mizuto
Even if they would've
figured it out anyway...
[12:58] Boy A
You know that Irido-san girl?
[13:00] Boy A
She's a real cutie, isn't she?
[13:01] Boy B
Yeah.
[13:03] Mizuto
A cutie? Give me a break.
[13:05] Mizuto
I'd go to the optometrist and get
my eyes checked if I were you.
[13:10] Boy A
It was love at first sight.
[13:12] Boy B
So your plan is to get close
with the younger brother, right?
[13:15] Boy A
If I went to her directly,
she'd just shoot me down.
[13:15] Mizuto
So she told people I'm younger, huh?
That girl...
[13:20] Boy A
It'll be smooth sailing if I can get
to her through him, y'know?
[13:23] Boy A
But her brother was such a killjoy.
[13:27] Boy B
Maybe he just thought
you were annoying?
[13:29] Boy A
Whoa, harsh!
[13:31] Mizuto
I see what's happening.
[13:32] Mizuto
So they mean to use me as a
stepping stone to get to her, huh?
SIGN Irido
[13:52] Mizuto
What do you want?
[13:55] Yume
Aren't you upset?
[13:57] Yume
They're looking down on you.
[13:59] Mizuto
You mean those guys that swarmed me?
[14:02] Yume
They don't have the guts
to speak to me directly,
[14:05] Yume
but they assume you're a pushover,
so they're using you to get to me.
[14:09] Yume
I hate people like that.
[14:12] Mizuto
Don't let it bother you.
They're not worth the time.
[14:16] Yume
But then you'll—

What about me?

[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...

[17:39] Yume
I'm out now.
[17:48] Yume
All right! That worked better than I expected.
[17:51] Mizuto
I—You—What gives?!
[17:53] Yume
I'm in my own home, you know?
It's not that big of a deal.
[17:57] Mizuto
No, but... I'm here, so...
[18:02] Yume
Oh?
[18:03] Yume
So what if my brother's here?
[18:06] Yume
Or, don't tell me...
[18:07] Yume
Mizuto-kun, are you the kind of bad boy
who'd sneak a peek at his stepsister
[18:12] ---
with lusty eyes?
[18:20] Yume
He's getting redder by the second.
[18:23] Yume
He turned away, but I can tell he's looking.
[18:28] Yume
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] ---

[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—

losing today.

so would you be a dear and bring that in?

Wh-What do we do?!

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!
