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!

SIGN    Rakuro High School Entrance Ceremony [10:38] Yume     We're walking to school separately     starting tomorrow, got it? [10:42] Mizuto     That goes without saying. [10:43] Mizuto     Anyway, shouldn't you be more      focused on making friends? [10:49] Mizuto     This is your high school debut. [10:50] Yume     My high school debut? [10:52] Mizuto     I'm the only one in the entire school     who knows you used to be a total nerd. [10:58] Mizuto     It's the perfect time to reinvent yourself.

[11:54] Yume     Not much... is what I'd like to say, [11:57] Yume     but honestly, I studied day and night. [11:59] Yume     I still don't feel like     I'm truly free from it.

[12:39] 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.

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

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?!

[19:45] 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.
