[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!

    You both look wonderful!

    You were so cool back there, Irido-san!

[11:54] Yume
    Not much... is what I'd like to say,

    but honestly, I studied day and night.

    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

    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.

[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?

    Oh... No, not really.

    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?

    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—
[20:31] ---
    The Bottom of the Sea
[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
    Just now, if our parents hadn't come home...
[21:47] Yume
    I was finally getting used
    to how things are.
[21:52] Mizuto
    What was I thinking back there?
[21:57] Mizuto
    I'd almost gotten over the past.
[22:01] Yume
    It's things like this...
[22:03] Mizuto
    It's things like this...
SIGN    Irido
[22:05] Yume
    That I can't stand about him!
[22:05] Mizuto
    That I can't stand about her!
