    Yume-chan!
[00:03] Akatsuki
    Let's go home!
[00:05] Yume
    Sorry.
[00:06] Yume
    I was hoping to stop by the study hall today.
[00:09] Akatsuki
    Aw, really?
[00:12] Maki
    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
    on the entrance exam, right?
[00:27] Maki
    I guess the defending champion
     has to pull out all the stops.
[00:31] Maki
    Don't you, Irido-san?

[02:11] Yume
    A gifted student at the top of my year.
SIGN    Midterms
[02:13] Yume
    This is where I belong.
[02:18] Yume
    It was my second year of middle school.
    We'd just taken our first midterms.
[02:22] Yume
    For the first time ever,
[02:24] Yume
    I was bested on a math test,
    despite it being one of my strengths...
[02:28] Yume
    by a boy in my class named Irido Mizuto.
[02:33] Yume
    I was devastated.
[02:35] Yume
    So when it came time for finals,
[02:37] Yume
    I sacrificed sleep to study
    more than ever before.
[02:42] Yume
    All in an effort to beat Irido Mizuto.
[02:46] Yume
    Fortunately, I was able to reclaim
    my spot at the top of the class.
[02:51] Yume
    However, when I looked at him,
[02:52] Yume
    he seemed indifferent to the
    way the teacher sang my praises.
[02:57] Yume
    He merely sat there,
    staring blankly out the window.
[03:01] Yume
    I felt hollow.
[03:03] Yume
    Like I'd conjured up a rivalry out of thin air.
[03:08] Yume
    And yet...
[03:10] (Flashback) Mizuto
    Do you like mystery novels?
[03:12] (Flashback) Yume
    I-I do...
[03:15] (Flashback) Mizuto
    Now I get it. No wonder you
    get such good grades in math.
[03:20] Yume
    Our rivalry wasn't all in my head.
[03:23] Yume
    He'd just been pretending
    to look the other way,
[03:26] Yume
    when, in reality,
    he was watching me all along.
[03:30] Yume
    And with that, for the first
    time in my life, I fell in love.
[03:51] Yume
    Are you sure you've done enough studying?
[03:54] Mizuto
    Yeah, I think I'm ready.
[03:58] Yume
    Are you?
[04:00] Yume
    You act as though you're
    taking a far easier test than I am.
[04:05] Yume
    This is why I always beat you.

[04:08] Mizuto
    I wonder how good the seat
    at the top of the class feels.
[04:12] Yume
    I'm afraid that seat is in
    my name at the moment.
[04:17] Mizuto
    Then I'll just have to
     reserve it for next time.
[04:21] Yume
    I see.
[04:22] Yume
    So you plan on getting
    in my way again, do you?
[04:26] Yume
    I say go for it.
[04:28] Yume
    Your chances are slim at best.
SIGN    Irido
[04:40] Mizuto
    You seem awfully tired.
[04:43] Yume
    That's none of your concern.
[04:46] Mizuto
    Is getting the top score
    really so important to you?
[04:49] Yume
    Of course it is.
[04:51] Yume
    Getting the top score
     on the entrance exam.
[04:53] Yume
    Staying at the top of my year.
[04:55] Yume
    These are the reasons my
    life is the way it is now.
[04:59] Yume
    You wouldn't understand.

    You're too busy pretending.

[05:29] Yume
    Well then...
SIGN    Midterms
[05:31] Yume
    That's the first day done and dusted.
[05:34] Yume
    According to my own grading,
    at least I didn't do too badly.
[05:37] Yume
    Still...
[05:39] Yume
    Japanese is one of his better subjects.
[05:42] Yume
    If he were to get full marks, six points
    would be a significant gap.
[05:48] Yume
    That's assuming he gets full marks, anyway.
[05:51] Yume
    And right now, I have no way of confirming.
[06:17] Yume
    Why did you leave the last section blank?
[06:23] Yume
    There's no way you didn't know
     the answer to these questions, correct?
[06:28] Mizuto
    I didn't have time.
[06:32] Yume
    I saw you stop writing ten
    minutes before time was up!
[06:37] Yume
    Do you think I'm stupid?!
[06:39] Yume
    You're holding back so I can
    get the top spot, aren't you?
[06:42] Yume
    Did you think that'd make me happy?
     Don't be ridiculous!
[06:45] Yume
    What was all that talk earlier?
[06:47] Yume
    Are you implying that I'd lose
    to you if you didn't hold back?!
[06:51] Yume
    Do you think I'm stupid?!
[06:52] Yuni
    H-Hey... What's the matter, Yume?
[06:54] Yume
    Did you really think it'd be
    heroic of you to let me win?!
[06:57] Yume
    You're just belittling my intellect!
[07:00] Yume
    Like I can't win on my own!
[07:01] Yume
    I don't want a victory that's handed to me!
[07:04] Yuni
    Stop!
[07:05] Yuni
    Calm down, Yume! What's going on?
[07:08] Mizuto
    What gives?
[07:10] Yuni
    Huh?
[07:11] Mizuto
    Getting the top spot is
    important to you, isn't it?
[07:14] Mizuto
    You said so yourself.
[07:16] Mizuto
    So I left some of them blank.
[07:17] Mizuto
    What's wrong with that?
[07:19] Yuni
    Oh no. Not you too, Mizuto-kun...
[07:22] Yuni
    Mine-kun!
[07:24] Mizuto
    It doesn't matter to me
    if I come out on top or not.
[07:27] Mizuto
    Like you said, I couldn't care less
    about what anyone thinks of me.
[07:31] Mizuto
    So I let you have it! Is that so wrong?!
[07:37] Yume
    It's not wrong.
[07:39] Yume
    It's just not right.
[07:42] Yume
    This isn't... who you are.

[07:54] Yume
    Forget it.
[07:56] Yume
    Our rivalry was all in my head after all.
[07:59] Yume
    It's pointless to dwell on.
[08:00] Yume
    Why complain when I have one less
    person to contend with anyway?
[08:04] Yume
    If I'm to keep my new life as Irido Yume,
[08:07] Yume
    that top spot is my only concern.
[08:11] Mizuto
    You have no right to define who I am.
[08:15] Mizuto
    No one has the right to
    define that for you either.

    Say goodbye, dear little sister...

[12:30] Isana
    For this is one of the few topics
    I, Higashira Isana, am an expert in.
[12:35] Mizuto
    I've never seen someone so
    eager to define a word before.
[12:38] Mizuto
    This is definitely a first.
[12:42] Isana
    I mean, just think about it.
[12:44] Isana
    It all depends on where you
    set the friend bar.
[12:47] Isana
    Consider my classmate on day duty who made
     sure I turned in my homework this morning.
[12:52] Isana
    I could call them a friend
    if I set the bar there.
[12:55] Mizuto
    Stop being arbitrary with the friend bar.
[12:58] Isana
    Conversely, say someone I'm
    close to is getting bullied.
[13:01] Isana
    I could say, "Oh, we're not that close,"
    and take the heat off myself!
[13:07] Isana
    Revolutionary, isn't it?!
[13:09] Mizuto
    I don't think someone like you will
    be making friends any time soon.
[13:12] Isana
    But I consider you a friend, Mizuto-kun.
[13:16] Isana
    If you ever get bullied,
    I promise to get bullied alongside you.
[13:21] Mizuto
    You wouldn't help? You're so unreliable.
[13:25] Isana
    Aw, I wouldn't go that far.
[13:27] Mizuto
    That wasn't a compliment.

    Guess it's time to head home.

    Yup.

    Could you put my socks on for me?

    She's a little shy, so just try
    to give her some space, okay?

    It's rare to see you being

    Why do I feel so uneasy?

[17:19] Mizuto
    That's it! The flow!
[17:21] Mizuto
    I've just been going with the flow around her.
[17:25] Isana
    Huh?
[17:26] Mizuto
    Thanks, Higashira.
[17:27] Mizuto
    Talking to you really helped.
[17:30] Isana
    S-Sure...
[17:32] Mizuto
    Also, it's important to know
     how to go with the flow,
[17:34] Mizuto
    but you don't have to do that around me.

    It'll be faster for me to just go with yours.

    So, why are you here?
[18:55] Mizuto
    I dislike the way you've been acting.
[18:57] Yume
    Huh?
[18:59] Mizuto
    The unreasonably calm, sincere,
    and understanding attitude.
[19:03] Mizuto
    Talking to you lately doesn't
    irritate me in the slightest.
[19:07] Mizuto
    Nary a sarcastic or snide remark.
[19:09] Mizuto
    You act like picking fights is beneath you.
[19:12] Mizuto
    It's infuriating on all accounts.
[19:15] Mizuto
    If something's changed for you,
     I want to hear about it.
[19:19] Mizuto
    We're siblings, aren't we?
[19:26] Yume
    Listen, Onii-chan...
[19:30] Mizuto
    What's up, Little Sis?
[19:31] Yume
    I think I'm jealous of that girl.
[19:37] Mizuto
    That girl?
[19:39] Mizuto
    You mean Higashira Isana?
[19:43] Yume
    Until the very end, I always
    called you by your family name.
[19:47] Yume
    But she's already calling you "Mizuto."
[19:50] Yume
    The more I thought about it,
    the less I liked it.
[19:55] Yume
    But we're siblings, so I don't
    have a reason to be jealous.
[20:00] Yume
    So that's why...
[20:03] Mizuto
    I get it.
[20:07] Yume
    Hey, can I ask you something?
[20:10] Mizuto
    What is it?
[20:11] Yume
    What bothered you so much about
     me not being snide or sarcastic?
[20:21] Mizuto
    I don't know.
[20:22] Mizuto
    I didn't like you acting like what we
    went through never happened, I guess.
[20:29] Yume
    The relationship I so badly wanted to forget...
[20:32] Yume
    was the one relationship I would
    truly regret forsaking.
[20:37] Yume
    You've always been able to articulate
    what I could never put into words.
[20:45] Yume
    So, Onii-chan... do you think it's
    okay to get jealous over a sibling?
[20:51] Mizuto
    No way.
[20:52] Mizuto
    Getting jealous of your big brother's
    friend is just plain creepy.
[20:56] Yume
    Hey!
[20:57] Mizuto
    But don't worry.
[20:59] Mizuto
    I've known you were a
    creep for over two years.
[21:04] Yume
    You're the creep, Onii-chan.
[21:06] Mizuto
    Hey, now you sound like a real little sister.
[21:15] Yume
    Thanks for always hanging
    out with Mizuto here.
[21:19] Yume
    I'm his older stepsister, Irido Yume.
[21:22] Yume
    Nice to meet you.
[21:23] Yume
    "Mizuto," she says.
[21:25] Yume
    Skipping the honorific to one-up her?
[21:27] Yume
    Not to mention that smile...
[21:29] Yume
    You're gonna scare Higashira right
    back into her shell, you know?
[21:33] Isana
    Yeah, r-right back at you.
[21:39] Isana
    Wait...
[21:40] Isana
    D-Did I do something weird?
[21:43] Akatsuki
    Hey...
[21:45] Akatsuki
    Just what kind of relationship
    do you have with Irido-kun?
[21:48] Isana
    Huh?
[21:49] Isana
    W-We're just friends with similar interests.
[21:52] Yume
    Oh... I didn't realize.
[21:55] Isana
    U-Um, am I missing something here?
[22:00] Yume
    Well, you see...
[22:03] Mizuto
    My sister...
[22:05] Mizuto
    was under the impression
    that you had feelings for me.
[22:09] Isana
    H-Huh?!
[22:10] Yume
    Hey! Why'd you have to tell her?!
[22:13] Mizuto
    I'm just telling the truth.
[22:15] Akatsuki
    He's ruthless.
[22:17] Isana
    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?
