[00:13] (Flashback) Mizuto
    I'd like to exercise your punishment now.
[00:16] (Flashback) Mizuto
    Go on a date with me tomorrow.
[00:20] Yume
    What on earth is that boy planning?
[00:24] Yume
    I mean...
[00:25] Yume
    I feel like going on a date is a direct
    violation of our rules in and of itself.
[00:30] Yume
    No...
[00:32] Yume
    Plenty of close siblings go out
    together on their days off, right?
[00:38] Yume
    Surely they meet up outside of home too.
[00:42] Yume
    That's right! This is a healthy part
    of any stepsibling relationship!
[00:47] Mizuto
    Sorry. I got held up.
[00:59] Yume
    You're Irido Mizuto, right?
    My younger stepbrother?
[01:04] Mizuto
    Yes, I'm Irido Mizuto.
    Your older stepbrother.
[01:11] Yume
    H... H-H-He's...

    so handsome!

    Looks like it.
[02:57] Yume
    Still, I reckon it won't take too long.
[03:01] Yume
    We look just like a real couple.
[03:04] Yume
    Only couples and families visit
    the aquarium together, don't they?
[03:09] Yume
    Why did he decide to bring me here?
    It's not like we're on a date.
[03:13] Yume
    Oh, wait... We are on a date, aren't we?
[03:22] Yume
    Oh no!
[03:24] Yume
    He's totally giving off intellectual yet
    charming young man with baggage vibes!
[03:27] Yume
    Crap! He's like my dream boy come to life!

    Hold back that grin!
[03:43] Mizuto
    Hello? I got the tickets.
[03:48] Yume
    Good.
[03:49] Yume
    Well, let's get a move on, then.
[03:51] Mizuto
    All right.
[03:54] Yume
    H-H-H-H-He's...
[03:56] Yume
    h-h-h-h-holding my hand!
[04:00] Akatsuki
    Wow, those two seem pretty close, huh?
[04:02] Kogure
    Hey, try not to stare.
[04:04] Yume
    It's all right. We're not
    actually that close, but...
[04:08] Yume
    You can keep staring!

[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
    Why am I always like this?!
SIGN    Irido Mizuto
[10:36] Yume
    Hello?
[10:38] Mizuto
    Hello. Where are you right now?
[10:43] Yume
    Under the sky?
[10:45] Mizuto
    Right...
[10:48] Yume
    I-I'm sorry.
[10:51] Yume
    Here comes the flood of sarcastic comments.
[10:54] Yume
    He'd never pass up this chance to
    unleash a storm of personal attacks.
[10:57] Yume
    I can just see his snide face now.
[10:59] Yume
    But right now, I couldn't even argue.
[11:04] Mizuto
    No, it's not like you did anything wrong.
[11:08] Mizuto
    It's my fault for not
    keeping an eye on you.
[11:11] Mizuto
    Stay put.
[11:13] Mizuto
    I'll come get you, so don't go—
[11:14] Yume
    No.
[11:17] Yume
    That's not what you're supposed to say.
[11:19] Mizuto
    Huh?
[11:26] Mizuto
    What does that mean?
[11:28] Mizuto
    What was I supposed to say?
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.

    Wow!
[18:24] Akatsuki
    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

    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,
[20:14] Akatsuki
    don'tcha think?
SIGN    Irido
[20:21] Yume
    I can't wrap my head around any of it.
[20:24] Yume
    Why he suddenly asked me out on a date
[20:27] Yume
    and that pair of shoes I found
    by the door are both still mysteries.
[20:32] Yume
    If this were a novel,
[20:34] Yume
    I'd be a failure of a detective.
[20:36] Yume
    Well, in any case, the date is over now.
[20:40] Yume
    No!
[20:41] Yume
    I'm not gonna let it end like this!
[20:43] Mizuto
    I'm home.
[20:49] Yume
    Tonight is the night I capture my
    little brother's shining moment.
[20:53] Mizuto
    Huh?
SIGN    The Nonserial Murders
    Sakaguchi Ango Kadokawa Shoten
[20:55] Yume
    Your punishment for the underwear incident.
[20:59] Yume
    Cross your legs!
[21:02] Yume
    Yes, that's it!
[21:04] Yume
    Gorgeous!
[21:05] Yume
    Stunning!
[21:09] Yume
    Now rest your cheek on your hand!
[21:11] Mizuto
    Like this?
[21:12] Yume
    Yes, just like that!
[21:14] Yume
    This is perfect!
SIGN    The Nonserial Murders
    Sakaguchi Ango Kadokawa Shoten
[21:19] Yume
    Stop!
[21:22] Yume
    Don't move a muscle!
[21:25] Yume
    That's it!
[21:27] Yume
    Aren't I, your wonderful older sister,
[21:30] Yume
    getting just the best pictures?
[21:36] Yume
    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!
