[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? SIGN    My Stepmom's     Daughter Is     My Ex SIGN    The Former Couple's On Edge SIGN    "I've Already Been Rejected, So It's Fine" [03:41] Yume     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! SIGN    Fitting Rooms [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. SIGN    A dark jacket over a breezy lace skirt is a mature look.     Add in a pale green purse for a perfect weekend date look!          Related link!     Coordinate with the perfect shoulder bag!          5. Pair a white dress with denim pants for a breezy date outfit! [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! SIGN    Fitting Rooms [11:02] Isana     Um... Can we go with this? [11:07] Akatsuki     As you wish, m'lady! [11:10] Yume     You seemed on the fence earlier.

[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.

[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?

[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.
