[00:09] Isana
I'd like to peruse your book collection.
[00:12] Mizuto
My book collection?
[00:14] Isana
Hush now.
[00:15] Isana
There's no need to question it.
[00:18] Isana
It's simply an innate desire.
[00:20] Isana
I wish to see your collection
and nothing more.
[00:24] Isana
If you must twist my arm,
[00:25] Isana
I wish to discern which pages of which
light novels have creases in them,
[00:30] Isana
and so discover which heroines were
instrumental in your sexual awakening.
[00:35] Mizuto
Huh?
[00:36] Isana
You know those racy light novels
everyone hides from their parents.
[00:40] Isana
You must have at least one hidden away
at the back of your bookcase, right?
[00:44] Isana
Ow!
[00:46] Isana
Could you be a little gentler
when you touch me?
[00:49] Isana
It'll feel better for both of us that way.
[00:52] Mizuto
You're being way more of a
pain in the neck than usual.
[00:56] Isana
Oh, so you've decided to feel me up
with your eyes instead, have you?
[01:00] Isana
I suppose I'll allow it.
[01:02] Isana
You may imagine me naked too,
if you so desire.
[01:04] Mizuto
I'm about ready to end this "friend" thing.
[01:07] Isana
I was only kidding!
[01:08] Isana
I'll stop making dirty jokes, okay?!
[01:10] Isana
I'm sorry!
[01:11] Isana
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[01:15] Mizuto
I feel like my innocence will be
in jeopardy if I let you come over.
[01:19] Mizuto
Fear not.
[01:20] Mizuto
I'll release all my sexual tension beforehand.
[01:28] Isana
Well, all joking aside...
[01:29] Isana
You seem like the type to hold
on to older light novels,
[01:33] Isana
so I was hoping I could come borrow some.
[01:35] Mizuto
That's fine by me.
[01:37] Mizuto
But it means coming over
to a guy's house alone, no?
[01:41] Mizuto
Won't that put you on edge?
[01:43] Isana
Hmm?
[01:44] Isana
You turned me down the other day,
proving your lack of interest.
[01:47] Isana
What's there to be on edge about?
[01:50] Mizuto
With that pure, innocent gaze...
[01:54] Mizuto
How could I possibly refute her?

Higashira-san.
[03:43] Yume
Sorry to keep you waiting.
[03:45] Akatsuki
Been here long?
[03:46] Isana
N-No, I just got here myself.
[03:49] Akatsuki
Well, let's see you.
[03:50] Akatsuki
Oh, I'm so glad! She really does dress lame!
[03:53] Yume
We were right to invite her out ahead of time.
[03:56] Isana
What?
[03:57] Isana
You two are dissing me right now, aren't you?
[04:00] Isana
That was a diss, right?
[04:01] Akatsuki
All righty!
[04:03] Akatsuki
Without further ado,
I present today's agenda.
[04:06] Akatsuki
I call it...
"Operation Make Over Higashira Isana"!
[04:11] Akatsuki
You're going over to Irido-kun's
tomorrow, aren't you?
[04:14] Isana
Y-Yes...
[04:16] Isana
So to keep you from embarrassing yourself
by wearing something lame like this...
[04:20] Yume
We thought we might lend some assistance.
[04:23] Yume
Let's go look for cute
clothes together, shall we?
[04:26] Akatsuki
You want Irido-kun to think
you're cute, don't you?
[04:29] Isana
W-Well, you're not wrong...
[04:32] Isana
But I didn't bring that much money with me.
[04:35] Yume
Not to worry.
[04:37] Yume
Akatsuki-san and I will pay
for everything today.
[04:40] Isana
Wha?! N-No way!
[04:42] Isana
I couldn't possibly ask you to do that.
[04:44] Akatsuki
Don't worry about it!
[04:46] Akatsuki
Just keep in mind...
[04:47] Yume
We do have one condition.
[04:50] Isana
A-And what's that?
[04:53] Yume & Akatsuki
That you try on whatever we suggest.
[04:55] Yume & Akatsuki
No ifs, ands, or buts!
[04:58] Isana
H-H-Huh?!
[05:00] Isana
Y-You want me to wear this?
[05:02] Akatsuki
Yup! That's what I picked.
[05:04] Akatsuki
Now quit whining and try it!
[05:05] Isana
B-But... U-Uh...
[05:08] Isana
This kind of thing just
doesn't look good on me.
[05:10] Yume & Akatsuki
No ifs, ands, or buts!
[05:16] Yume
Akatsuki-san,
[05:17] Yume
you just wanted to use her as
a dress-up doll, didn't you?
[05:22] Akatsuki
You caught me.
[05:23] Isana
U-Um, I finished putting it on...
[05:26] Akatsuki
Let's see it!
[05:33] Isana
I look like the token hot girl
in a horror movie.
[05:37] Yume & Akatsuki
Too lewd!
[05:38] Akatsuki
What's your cup size, anyway?!
[05:41] Isana
I-I'm a G-cup...
[05:43] Yume & Akatsuki
A G-cup?!
[05:45] Akatsuki
Gee...
[05:48] Akatsuki
Whiz!

[05:52] Isana
Stop touching them out of nowhere!
[05:56] Yume
I didn't realize breasts
could jiggle so much.
[05:59] Akatsuki
Same.
[06:01] Akatsuki
All right! Plenty more to go, Higashira-san!
[06:08] Isana
This looks like that dress that
went viral for a while.
[06:12] Yume & Akatsuki
Too lewd!
[06:18] Isana
This is more conservative than the rest,
[06:20] Isana
but it feels a little tight...
[06:22] Yume & Akatsuki
Too lewd!
[06:24] Yume
This is quite the dilemma.
[06:26] Akatsuki
Anything she wears ends up
looking majorly risqué.
[06:30] Isana
Can't I just wear what I normally do?
[06:33] Isana
A reserved person like me has no business
sticking out like a sore thumb.
[06:43] Yume
Now that outfit's...
[06:45] Akatsuki
Definitely out.
[06:47] Akatsuki
Whatever we try,
[06:48] Akatsuki
nothing's gonna work unless
we downplay these G-cups.
[06:53] Akatsuki
Something loose and flowy should do.
[06:55] Isana
Loose and flowy?
[06:56] Akatsuki
Something like what Yume-chan's wearing.
[06:58] Akatsuki
It softens your silhouette.
[07:01] Akatsuki
Try pairing a loose-fitting top
with a light and flowy skirt.
[07:05] Akatsuki
Something like that might just
be enough to hide your sexy bod.
[07:08] Yume
Hmm, that's true.
[07:10] Akatsuki
But then I guess you'd be copying
Yume-chan's style, huh?
[07:13] Isana
And it's bad to copy someone else?
[07:16] Akatsuki
Of course it is!
[07:18] Akatsuki
We girls have to coordinate our outfits
in order to maintain harmony, after all.
[07:22] Isana
Wow.
[07:24] Akatsuki
So if Yume-chan switches up her style,
it'd be a totally different story!
[07:29] Yume
Huh? M-Me?
[07:32] Isana
Whoa! I would be honored to behold
Yume-chan's Newtype awakening.
[07:36] Akatsuki
Right?!
[07:37] Akatsuki
'Kay, I'll go pick something!
[07:39] Yume
Did she plan on making me the
dress-up doll from the very beginning?
[07:48] Yume
I've avoided tight clothing for so long...
[07:54] Yume
Looking back, I can only describe
it as youthful indiscretion.
[07:58] Yume
But from my second to third
year of middle school,
[08:02] Yume
I had what you might call a boyfriend.
[08:05] Yume
Given how categorically
unsophisticated I was back then,
[08:09] Yume
not to mention my peerless inelegance,
[08:12] Yume
there was one matter I needed
to address with all haste.
[08:16] Yume
That's right. My sense of fashion.
[08:19] Yume
After foolishly promising
to meet up on the weekend,
[08:22] Yume
I was left anxiously scratching my head.
SIGN Search best date outfit ideas
[08:25] Yume
In preparation, I did extensive
research on the subject.

[08:28] Yume
I groaned over every option
until the very last minute.
[08:32] Yume
When the day finally came,
[08:34] Yume
I managed to find an outfit I was
satisfied with and set out to meet him.
[08:38] Yume
But when I arrived at our
arranged meeting spot, that boy...
[08:42] Yume
He had no reaction. No comment.
[08:45] Yume
He was utterly unfazed.
[08:47] Yume
He offered no commentary on my
attire as the date went on, either.
[08:51] Yume
Thus I concluded...
[08:53] Yume
I must have looked so lame that he
was avoiding the subject for my sake.
[08:56] Yume
Yet just when it seemed we
were about to go our separate ways,
[09:01] Yume
he said something out of the blue...
[09:03] (Flashback) Mizuto
Your outfit today... It's cute.
[09:07] Yume
He must have been too embarrassed
to compliment me sooner.
[09:11] Yume
Yet then he went on to say...
[09:14] (Flashback) Mizuto
But, um, I'd appreciate it if you
didn't wear miniskirts outside.
[09:20] (Flashback) Mizuto
I wouldn't mind any other time, though...
[09:25] Yume
He wouldn't mind any other time?
[09:27] Yume
So it'd be okay if we were indoors?
[09:30] Yume
Why can't I wear them outside?
[09:32] Yume
Is it because we're in public?
[09:34] Yume
Because other people are around?
[09:36] Yume
I was happy that someone
so seemingly unattached
[09:40] Yume
had finally shown a glimpse
of possessiveness toward me.
[09:45] Yume
Overcome with joy, I was nothing
but smiles the whole way home.
[09:49] Yume
And from that point on,
[09:52] Yume
my sense of style was wholly dictated by
my thirst for Irido Mizuto's approval.
[09:56] Yume
What on earth was I thinking back then?!
[09:59] Akatsuki
Yume-chan? Are you done changing?
[10:08] Yume
How do I look?
[10:10] Isana
You look so chic!
[10:12] Yume
I think I'm kinda into it.
[10:15] Akatsuki
Your stunning legs are
finally in the spotlight!
[10:17] Akatsuki
There aren't many girls who can pull
off white skinny jeans, you know?
[10:22] Yume
I guess it's about time I stopped relying on
my middle school fashion sense anyway.
[10:30] Yume
I'll go ask a sales rep to remove the tags.
[10:34] Akatsuki
My dreams are finally coming to fruition.
[10:36] Akatsuki
All right! You're up, Higashira-san!
[10:38] Isana
Huh? U-Uh... Right.
[10:44] Isana
Isn't this a little too cutesy for me?
[10:48] Akatsuki
That's the whole reason
you're wearing it, isn't it?
[10:55] Isana
Just gimme one second!

I have that entire series at home, by the way.

Huh? Really?
[12:09] (Flashback) Mizuto
Yup.
[12:10] (Flashback) Mizuto
I can lend it to you, if you'd like.

[12:30] (Flashback) Yume
Okay. Thank you.
[12:32] Mizuto
We chickened out. Why, you ask?
[12:36] Mizuto
Because we were dating.
[12:38] Mizuto
And being alone in a room together has
different implications when you're a couple.

Okay, what are you playing at?

where the characters seem
to be doing something raunchy,

but they're not actually.
[15:32] Mizuto
That doesn't happen in real life.
[15:34] Isana
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
[15:36] Isana
H-Hey! Too much! That's too hard, Mizuto-kun!

You're toying with me, aren't you?

You've been dating all along, haven't you?!
[15:47] Isana
What? But we've always been this way.
[15:51] Mizuto
Yeah, haven't we always been like this?
[15:53] Yume
Oh, I've got it!
[15:55] Yume
Neither of you have ever had friends,
[15:58] Yume
so you have no concept
of personal boundaries!
[16:01] Yume
Mystery solved.
[16:02] Isana
That's rude.
[16:04] Isana
We've had at least one
or two friends, you know?
[16:06] Mizuto
She's right. At least one or two.
[16:12] Isana
Well, everyone has different
personal boundaries, right?
[16:15] Mizuto
Exactly. Friendship looks
different for everyone.
[16:19] Yume
I-In any case...
[16:21] Yume
Just stop getting touchy-feely on the bed.
[16:23] Isana
Goodness me.
[16:24] Isana
It must be hard dealing with such a
possessive little sister, Mizuto-kun.
[16:28] Mizuto
Yeah, it's a real pain.
[16:30] Yume
I'm not possessive,
and I'm not his little sister!
[16:32] Isana
Well, anyways...
[16:34] Isana
Could you put my socks on for me, Mizuto-kun?
[16:37] Mizuto
Yeah, yeah.
[16:38] Yume
Hold it!
[16:39] Yume
Why can't you put your socks on yourself?
[16:42] Isana
Well, about that...
[16:44] Isana
Bending over is such a struggle
when you have big boobs, you know?
[16:47] Yume
Why does it always come back to your breasts?
[16:50] Isana
Well, to tell the truth,
[16:51] Isana
I've just become accustomed to having
him take care of me, you know?
[16:56] Mizuto
All right, I put them on for you.
[16:58] Isana
Thank you very much.
[17:00] Isana
Oh, where's your bathroom?

[17:02] Yume
I-I'll show you!
[17:07] Yume
So do you still have feelings for
him after all, Higashira-san?
[17:11] Isana
Of course I do.
[17:14] Isana
The possibility of dating him wasn't
why I liked him in the first place.
[17:21] Isana
I don't think I'll ever stop
liking him, for that matter.
[17:25] Isana
As a friend or as a boy.
[17:27] Yume
Isn't that... hard for you?
[17:30] Isana
I wonder...
[17:32] Isana
I think I'd find it hard to adjust
if he got a girlfriend.
[17:35] Isana
But when I think about it, I'm sure I'd
be more jealous if he made a new friend.
[17:41] Yume
Huh?
[17:42] Isana
I'm the one Mizuto-kun
enjoys talking to the most.
[17:47] Isana
It's like some territorial instinct
starts to well up inside me.
[17:51] Isana
Wouldn't you feel the same, Yume-san?
[17:53] Isana
How would you feel if some long-lost sister
walked into his life out of the blue?
[18:00] Yume
Well...
[18:02] Isana
I'm afraid.
[18:04] Isana
Mizuto-kun is the only friend I have.
[18:07] Isana
If he suddenly got more friends who
filled the same role, I'd just...
[18:13] Yume
It's not that she wants him all to herself.
[18:17] Yume
She just can't bear the thought of
losing her unique place in his heart.
[18:23] Yume
Higashira-san.
[18:24] Yume
Aren't I your friend too?
[18:29] Isana
Y-You are?
[18:31] Yume
Of course.
[18:32] Isana
B-But still...
[18:36] Isana
You wouldn't fill the same role as Mizuto-kun.
[18:39] Yume
Yeah, I know.
[18:42] Yume
Probably as much as you do, if not more.
[18:46] Isana
So... where's the bathroom?
[18:52] Yume
Have you been doing this stuff all along?
[18:55] Yume
Rubbing her shoulders and
putting her socks on for her?

Well, only because it's her.
[19:13] Yume
Hey.
SIGN That Was All I Ever Wanted
[19:16] Yume
Put them back on.
[19:19] Mizuto
You're really making this a competition?
[19:21] Yume
Shut it!
[19:22] Yume
It just seemed fun
to treat you like a servant.
[19:26] Yume
Put. Them. Back. On.
SIGN That Was All I Ever Wanted
[19:51] Yume
Y-You heard nothing.
SIGN August 15th (Sat)
SIGN Higashira Isana
I require assistance~~~
[20:08] Isana
Man, thanks for saving me back there.
[20:11] Isana
They kept bombarding me with questions.
[20:13] Isana
I have no idea how to act in
front of adults I've never met.
[20:17] Isana
Oh, that reminds me.
[20:18] Isana
Your parents were under the impression
that I was your ex-girlfriend.
[20:22] Isana
Any idea why?
[20:23] Mizuto
Huh?
[20:24] Mizuto
How'd that come up?
[20:25] Isana
Well, they asked me if we were dating,
[20:28] Isana
so I told them you'd turned me down a
while back and that we're just friends now.
[20:31] Isana
So suddenly, I was your ex.
[20:35] Mizuto
Listen, they're gonna misunderstand
if you word it like that.
[20:39] Isana
Well, I couldn't just say it, you know?
[20:43] Isana
I couldn't handle explaining
[20:45] Isana
that you'd said no when I confessed,
and that we'd never really dated.
[20:51] Isana
Mizuto-kun... I still haven't fully
recovered from that, you know?
[20:57] Mizuto
I see.
[20:59] Isana
So don't forget to console
me whenever you can, okay?
[21:06] Mizuto
You're right.
[21:09] Isana
Staying home and reading books all day
is a nice way to spend the weekend, huh?
[21:14] Mizuto
Yeah.
[21:17] Mizuto
I'm sure the time I spent silently
reading books with Ayai Yume
SIGN Mystery Novels
[21:23] Mizuto
was just as much fun as today was.
[21:28] Isana
You know, Mizuto...
[21:31] Isana
You're a good friend.
[21:34] Mizuto
So if we'd never dated...
[21:39] Isana
Well then, I shall take my leave.
[21:44] Mizuto
If we'd never gotten together...
[21:48] Mizuto
If we had just stayed
moderately close friends...
[21:52] Mizuto
I wonder if we'd still be spending
time together like we did back then.
[21:57] Mizuto
But hypothesizing about it's pointless.
[22:00] Mizuto
Neither she nor I...
[22:02] Mizuto
Neither of us could ever
be like Higashira Isana.
