    S-Senpai...
[00:49] Shinozaki
    Is your meeting over already?
[00:50] Shiori
    Yep. It didn't take as long as I thought.
[00:54] Shiori
    And it looks like you finished
    everything I asked you to do, too.
[00:58] Shiori
    Excellent work!
[01:00] Shinozaki
    Aw, no...
[01:02] Shinozaki
    It was just regular work.
    Nothing worth that kind of praise.
[01:07] Shiori
    Is there something wrong
    with praising regular work?
[01:10] Shinozaki
    I actually appreciate it a lot.
[01:13] Shiori
    Very good!
[01:18] Shiori
    You know, I really am proud
    of you, Shinozaki-san!

    Manager.
[04:12] Shiori
    I sent the plan for our entry
    into the project competition,
[04:14] Shiori
    so please check it when you can.
[04:16] Akina
    Wait, already? There's still
    a while until the deadline.
[04:20] Shiori
    I know! But since we'll need to
    incorporate input from the client,
[04:24] Shiori
    the sooner we get it checked,
    the sooner I can make those adjustments.
[04:27] Katase
    Makes sense. Well done, Katase-san.
    I appreciate how timely you are.
[04:31] Shinozaki
    Nice one, Senpai.
[04:34] Shiori
    This is all normal stuff.
    I'm a grown-up, after all!
[04:40] Shiori
    I have to say, desk work really does
    a number on the back and shoulders...
[04:44] Shiori
    My whole body feels creaky.
[04:47] Shinozaki
    It's even worse when you're
    on the computer all the time.
[04:50] Shiori
    Definitely...
[04:51] Shiori
    My shoulders can really seize up on me, too.
[04:55] Shinozaki
    I think there might be more to it
    than just work, in that regard...
[04:59] Shinozaki
    It's the kind of thing that
    makes you want a massage, huh?
[05:01] Shiori
    Oh, what a great idea! I'd love that!
[05:04] Shiori
    Wait... did I just stumble into a mildly
    erotic situation involving a massage?
[05:11] Shinozaki
    Want me to rub them?
[05:13] Shiori
    Would you?
[05:18] Shiori
    Right there... It feels... so good...!
[05:26] Shiori
    If you keep that up... I'll...
[05:31] Shiori
    Something wrong?
[05:32] Shinozaki
    N-No, nothing at all!
[05:36] Shinozaki
    I get stiff shoulders, too, so I was thinking
    about maybe getting a massage myself.
[05:41] Shiori
    Sounds like a case where a hardworking
    kohai needs some senpai encouragement!
[05:46] Shinozaki
    Aw, come on, I couldn't ask you to do that...
[05:50] Shiori
    Don't you worry about it.
[05:51] Shiori
    Just don't fall asleep
    from being too comfy, okay?
[05:59] Shiori
    Squeezey, squeezey, squeezey, squeezey...
[06:03] Shinozaki
    Senpai's tiny hands are all over my shoulders!
[06:06] Shinozaki
    I'm getting squeezed!
    She's kneading me like dough!
[06:08] Shinozaki
    It's like I'm in the world's
    comfiest theme park!
[06:12] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san, you're so... hard and big...
[06:18] Shiori
    I don't know if my hands
    can make you feel good.
[06:24] Shinozaki
    Senpai, uh, I think that's enough!
[06:28] Shiori
    Did it feel good?
[06:30] Shinozaki
    Yes! Maybe a little too good.
[06:34] Shinozaki
    Er, forget I said anything! Really!
[06:40] Shinozaki
    "And that is my proposal."
[06:45] Shinozaki
    Okay, hopefully that should work.
[06:47] Shinozaki
    Maybe I should run through it again...

    "I'm Shinozaki Takuma

[06:53] Shinozaki
    "My proposal involves the upcoming anniversary

    character, Meowtaro, which—"
[06:58] Shiori
    What's that you've got there?
[07:01] Shinozaki
    S-Senpai!
[07:02] Shiori
    Did I scare you?
[07:05] Shinozaki
    The new employee project
    presentations are tomorrow,
[07:09] Shinozaki
    so I was practicing during my free time.
[07:10] Shiori
    That takes me back!
    I remember what it was like.
[07:14] (Flashback) Shiori
    And so, by arranging a collaboration
    between popular sweets brands
[07:18] (Flashback) Shiori
    and our company's mascot character, Meowtaro,
[07:20] (Flashback) Shiori
    I believe we could cultivate customers

[07:30] Shiori
    I made some goofs
    with the materials for my proposal.
[07:34] Shiori
    But as you can see, I'm still here,
    so relax and give your best shot!
[07:38] Shinozaki
    What a random bit of encouragement!
[07:40] Shinozaki
    Thank you, Senpai.
[07:43] Shinozaki
    I just have this tendency to get
    super nervous when it's showtime...
[07:49] Shinozaki
    They say writing the kanji for "person" in your
    hand and pretending to swallow it helps.
[07:52] Shinozaki
    What do you think?
[07:53] Shinozaki
    It's probably just a superstition...
[07:55] Shinozaki
    Although one theory says the palm
    has certain pressure points,
[07:58] Shinozaki
    and by tracing the kanji for "person,"
    you can press them for a relaxation effect—
[08:00] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san!
[08:05] Shiori
    Something to relax you.
[08:07] Shiori
    Specially made by your senpai,
    it's the kanji for "person."
[08:10] Shiori
    I hope you enjoy it!
[08:12] Shinozaki
    S-S-S-So close! Senpai's tiny hand
    is right in front of me!
[08:17] Shinozaki
    I-It almost seems like a waste to eat it!
[08:22] Shiori
    I can always make more.
[08:24] Shiori
    So, by all means, eat up!
[08:26] Shinozaki
    She is so wifely, it's killing me!
[08:29] Shinozaki
    Th-Then, in that case, don't mind if I do...
[08:39] Shinozaki
    Uh, er, did my breath tickle?
[08:43] Shiori
    Oh, no, it's f-f-fine!
[08:45] Shiori
    H-H-How do you feel?
[08:47] Shinozaki
    Better! I think I can do this.
[08:50] Shinozaki
    Thank you so much, Senpai.

    tomorrow, before my presentation.

    We were neighbors,
[10:05] Shinozaki
    and we attended preschool,
    elementary, and middle school together.
[10:09] Shinozaki
    Then we just happened to end up
    working at the same company.

[10:26] Shinozaki
    It's really nothing special.
    Sure, we chat casually...
[10:31] Shiori
    I'm jealous.
[10:35] Shinozaki
    S-S-Senpai?! She just said she was jealous!
    I did hear that, didn't I?!
[10:40] Shinozaki
    And she does seem to be kind of sulky...
[10:44] Shinozaki
    Senpai's... jealous?
[10:47] Shinozaki
    That'd mean she... about me... for real?

    could you maybe introduce me...?

    Think of it as an abuse of authority!

    get to a good place to stop...

    trouble yourself, Senpai...

    once we're done, I'm going to abuse
    my authority and treat you to dinner!

    the best abuse of authority ever!
[15:08] Shinozaki
    Th-Then I'd appreciate the help.
[15:12] Shiori
    Sure!
[15:14] Shiori
    That was faster than I thought!
[15:18] Shinozaki
    Only because of you. Thanks again, Senpai.

    Put your arms through the sleeves, please.
[15:46] Shiori
    But I... I'll be fine...
[15:48] Shinozaki
    No, you won't.
[15:49] Shinozaki
    Y'know, you don't need to have
    authority to abuse your power...
[15:56] Shiori
    I-I'll keep that in mind.
[16:03] Shinozaki
    There should be plenty of places open still.
[16:07] Shiori
    Okay.
[16:09] Shiori
    Um, aren't you cold, Shinozaki-san?
[16:12] Shinozaki
    Nope. I'm okay.
[16:16] Shiori
    This jacket he lent me is really warm...
[16:21] Shiori
    I guess because he was
    just wearing it, but still...
[16:25] Shiori
    Something about the size and the warmth...
[16:29] Shiori
    makes it feel like he's hugging me.
[16:33] Shiori
    Wh-What in the world am I thinking?!
[16:36] Shiori
    U-Um...
[16:39] Shiori
    I-I don't know...
    if I can continue wearing this...
[16:44] Shinozaki
    What happened?!
[16:46] Shiori
    Y-You can have it back!
[16:47] Shinozaki
    But...

    we're close to the office...

[16:58] Shinozaki

    I'll be right there!
[18:05] Shiori
    I'll take the miso-glazed beef tongue
    and mixed vegetable stew dinner.
[18:10] Shiori
    And a fluffy soy milk pudding for dessert.
[18:13] Shinozaki
    I'll have the saikyo-yaki
    cooked mackerel dinner.
[18:16] Shinozaki
    That'll be enough.
[18:17] Shiori
    What about dessert?
[18:19] Shiori
    Pudding is really good, y'know!
[18:21] Shiori
    I'm a big fan! It's so soft, and sweet,
    and just plain makes you happy!
[18:25] Shinozaki
    I'll take one, too, then.
[18:26] Shiori
    Pudding, pudding, more pudding!
[18:27] Server
    Understood.
[18:28] Server
    It'll be just a moment.
[18:31] Shinozaki
    Senpai, I wanna thank you for your help.
[18:35] Shinozaki
    And not just for today.
[18:36] Shiori
    What other day?
[18:41] Shinozaki
    I managed to make it through my project
    proposal without clamming up, thanks to you.
[18:46] Shiori
    No, no...
[18:47] Shiori
    It went well because
    you worked hard, Shinozaki-san.
[18:51] Shiori
    I just helped out a tiny bit!
[18:54] Shiori
    Besides, I'm obviously going to help
    a kohai who could use it.
[18:59] Shiori
    Because I'm your senpai!
[19:01] Shinozaki
    W-Well, I appreciate all that help!
[19:05] Shiori
    Certainly.
[19:06] Shiori
    Although...
[19:08] Shiori
    Don't try and push yourself
    to work overtime like today, okay?
[19:11] Shiori
    Working hard is good,
    but overwork is not. Okay?

    We'll have a nutritious meal,

    Time to eat!

    Hot!
[19:42] Shinozaki
    Are you okay?
[19:43] Shiori
    Y-Yeah...
[19:45] Shinozaki
    Sensitive to hot food like a cat, too, huh?
[19:47] Shiori
    "Too"?
[19:48] Shinozaki
    Oh, never mind me!
[20:03] Shinozaki
    Good morning, Senpai.
[20:06] Shiori
    Good morning, Shinozaki-san.
[20:09] Shinozaki
    Calling out to another cat?
[20:11] Shiori
    Yes, indeed I was!
[20:14] Shiori
    I heard it meowing a second ago...
[20:24] Shiori
    Did you hear that?! It answered me!
[20:27] Shinozaki
    Sure.
[20:30] Shiori
    That was deeper than before, though.
    Maybe there's a second cat?
[20:40] Shiori
    You! You! I can't believe you made fun of me!
[20:44] Shinozaki
    S-Sorry! I didn't think
    you'd react like that...
[20:47] Shiori
    As punishment, for today,
    you have to be kitty Shinozaki!
[20:51] Shinozaki
    Kitty Shinozaki...?
[20:53] Shiori
    I expect you to meow in response!
[20:55] Shinozaki
    M... Meow.
[20:56] Shinozaki
    Y'know, this might be too much...
[20:58] Shiori
    Excuse me?
[20:59] Shinozaki
    It's kind of embarrassing—
[21:00] Shiori
    These are orders from your senpai!
[21:02] Shinozaki
    Okay...
[21:03] Shiori
    Do you understand?! You respond with "meow!"
[21:05] Hayakawa
    Good morning, Manager.
[21:06] Akina
    Oh, good morning, Hayakawa-san.
[21:07] Shiori
    Meow!
[21:09] Hayakawa
    You look happy. Something good happen?
[21:11] Akina
    Just glad that my team is getting long!
[21:15] Hayakawa
    They are?
[21:16] Shiori
    All right, Meowzaki, we're going to work!
[21:18] Shinozaki
    Right, Senpai!
[21:20] Shiori
    You're supposed to say "Meow!" Okay?
[21:23] Shinozaki
    M-Meow!

    Let's give it our best today, Meowzaki!

    Honestly...

    It's not that big a deal...

[06:18] Shiori
    I hope the food is tasty!
[06:22] Shinozaki
    It's supposed to be
    the top floor of this building.
[06:25] Shiori
    This should be fun!

    Since our manager chose it,
    I bet it's pretty fancy.

[14:10] Shiori
    I know exactly what you mean!
[14:13] Shinozaki
    I wish I knew how to
    get over being so nervous.
[14:16] Shinozaki
    I'd hate for it to cause trouble.
[14:19] Shiori
    You don't need to be so tense about it.
[14:21] Shiori
    Everybody learns how these
    things work as time goes on.
[14:25] Shiori
    Besides, the chief has mentioned
    how the way you ask a lot of questions
[14:29] Shiori
    makes it easier for everyone else to speak up.
[14:33] Shinozaki
    Th-That's great to hear.
[14:38] Shinozaki
    Oh, sorry, I wanted to stop by the bookstore
    before heading home, so I'll be going now.
[14:43] Shinozaki
    In that case, if you want,
    you can take my umbrella.
[14:51] Shiori
    I had a great time talking!
[14:54] Shiori
    Let's give it our all at work again
    tomorrow, Shinozaki-san.
[14:58] Shiori
    See you then!
[15:03] Shinozaki
    She had one all along?!
[15:11] Shiori
    Huh?
[15:13] Shiori
    Is Shinozaki-san taking the day off?
[15:16] Akina
    He's sick, apparently. Called in this morning.
[15:20] Shiori
    Oh, I see...
[15:22] (Flashback) Shiori
    Your shoulder is getting wet, Shinozaki-kun.
[15:25] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    Oh, I'm sorry!
[15:29] Akina
    Want to check up on him?
[15:30] Shiori
    Wh-Why would I do that?!
[15:32] Akina
    Well, he is your only kohai, after all!
[15:35] Akina
    He's mentioned that living
    on his own is proving to be a handful.
[15:49] Shinozaki
    Still not going down...
[15:54] Shinozaki
    Well, it's my own fault for going
    into shock in the middle of the rain.
[16:05] Shinozaki
    Coming...
[16:09] Shiori
    How are you feeling, Shinozaki-san?
[16:12] Shinozaki
    Senpai?! You went out of your way to visit me?!
[16:15] Shiori
    Oh, come now.
[16:16] Shiori
    I was just in the neighborhood.
[16:19] Shiori
    And you've been out
    for three days, so I was worried,
[16:22] Shiori
    and I heard living on your own
    was rough for you,
[16:25] Shiori
    so I brought some supplies.
[16:27] Shinozaki
    Thank you so much. That is really thoughtful...
[16:38] Shiori
    How about I make something for you?
[16:50] Shinozaki
    What is even happening...?
[16:53] Shinozaki
    I feel crazy-happy.
[16:56] Shiori
    There you go.
[16:58] Shinozaki
    Thank you for the food.
[17:00] Shinozaki
    It's good!
[17:01] Shiori
    I'm glad you like it!
[17:03] Shiori
    I'll tidy up and do some laundry, too.
[17:06] Shinozaki
    Thanks again.
[17:08] Shinozaki
    Oh, wait, my underwear!
[17:11] Shinozaki
    I really appreciate you doing all this.
[17:14] Shiori
    Oh, it's all right.
[17:16] Shiori
    Despite appearances,
    I'm more the big sister type.
[17:21] Shinozaki
    I am so incredibly, crazily happy right now,
[17:27] Shinozaki
    I don't even want to get better anymore.
[17:33] Shiori
    Well, sorry to intrude. Make sure to stay
    warm, and get some more rest, okay?
[17:38] Shinozaki
    You're a real life-saver, Senpai.
[17:42] Shinozaki
    Come to think of it, what were
    in you in the neighborhood for?
[17:44] Shiori
    To see a movie with a friend.
[17:46] Shinozaki
    Huh? But the theater is in the opposite
    direction of my house from the station...
[17:53] Shiori
    W-Well, uh,
[17:55] Shiori
    I'm running short on time, so...
[18:02] Shiori
    I messed up...
[18:05] Shiori

    because he's my only kohai.

[18:41] Hayakawa

[18:43] Shinozaki
    She came over and looked
    after me when I was sick.
[18:46] Shinozaki
    She even cooked for me.
[18:48] Shinozaki
    Maybe I should get something
    unobtrusive, like candy.
[18:52] Hayakawa
    Are you stupid?!
[18:54] Hayakawa
    Why would you give someone who went to your
    house and cooked for you when you were sick
[18:57] Hayakawa
    the same gift you'd pass onto
    a business partner for the Bon holiday?!
[19:01] Shinozaki
    A-A business Bon gift?!
[19:04] Hayakawa
    Well? Was the food good?
[19:06] Shinozaki
    Yeah, very much so.
[19:08] Shinozaki
    I-It was downright delicious....
[19:11] Shinozaki
    And I think she likes to cook.
[19:13] Hayakawa
    Then get her an apron and say,
    "Please come and cook for me again!"
[19:18] Shinozaki
    Where did that come from?!
[19:20] Shinozaki
    Isn't it considered rude to give
    non-consumables since they take up space?
[19:23] Hayakawa
    I say you need to give her something
    that will remind her of you.
[19:26] Shinozaki
    Remind her of what, exactly?!
[19:32] Shinozaki
    What should I do?
[19:34] Shinozaki
    I ended up actually buying one
    on impulse, but I think...

    so I hope you'll use it at home.
[20:55] Shiori
    You wouldn't mind me
    coming by your house again?

    I-I meant at your own house, not mine...
[21:03] Shiori
    Oh, right! That makes sense. Sorry about that.

    That was such a silly assumption to make...

    No! I'm glad if you're glad!
[08:20] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    I was also excited about
    meeting my first work senpai, so...
[08:25] (Flashback) Shiori
    I guess this is a first for both of us, huh?
[08:29] (Flashback) Shiori
    Well, since we're both new at this,
    let's try our best!
[08:33] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    R-Right!
[08:37] (Flashback) Akina
    Did I just pick up some lewd vibes...?
[08:39] (Flashback) Shiori/Shinozaki
    You did not!
[08:41] Akina
    Ah, that really takes me back!
[08:44] Akina
    Huh?
[08:45] Akina
    What's wrong, you two?
[08:46] Shiori
    It's kind of embarrassing to think about...
[08:50] Shinozaki
    Agreed.
[08:50] Akina
    I see.
[08:52] Akina
    Well, to make up for embarrassing you two...
[08:55] Akina
    Dessert will be my treat. What would you like?
[08:58] Shiori
    Really?! Thank you so much!
[09:02] Shiori
    What should I get...?
[09:03] Shinozaki
    Senpai, you let him buy you off
    a little too easily.
[09:07] Shiori
    Do you not want dessert, Shinozaki-san?
[09:09] Shiori
    If you don't, I'd be glad to eat yours!
[09:12] Shinozaki
    I'll take mine, thanks!
[09:14] Akina
    Oh, dear.
[09:16] Shiori
    Are you ready for tomorrow's meeting?
[09:19] Shinozaki
    All set!
[09:20] Shiori
    Very good!
SIGN    My Tiny Senpai.
[09:28] Shiori
    Good work today!
[09:30] Shinozaki
    I got super nervous having a
    meeting at another company...
[09:34] Shiori
    You do, don't you?
[09:37] Shinozaki
    It was a huge relief having you backing me up.
[09:42] Shiori
    Was it a good reminder that I'm your senpai?
[09:46] Shinozaki
    It was!
[09:48] Shiori
    Well, let's head back to the office
    and get back to work!
[09:52] Shinozaki
    R-Right!
[10:05] Shiori
    So cute!
[10:07] Shinozaki
    Is it some kind of mascot character?
[10:10] Shiori
    A kitty with a bunny hoodie,
    and a doggy with a bear hoodie!
[10:16] Shinozaki
    Y'know, this stuffed animal...
[10:19] Shiori
    Something about this stuffed animal...
[10:22] Shinozaki
    It reminds me of Senpai.
[10:22] Shiori
    It reminds me of Shinozaki-san.
[10:26] Shiori
    You think so...?
[10:28] Shiori
    Is this how I look to you?
[10:32] Shinozaki
    Well, when I say that, I mean...
[10:37] Shinozaki
    You can say "You're that cute!"
    It's the perfect time to say it, me!
[10:43] Shinozaki
    Y-You are kinda catlike, I'd say...
[10:46] Shiori
    You really think so?
[10:48] Shinozaki
    Extremely feline!
[10:50] Shinozaki
    And is this how you see me, Senpai?
[10:54] Shiori
    That's right.
[10:56] Shiori
    There's something about his gaze,
[10:57] Shiori
    and the unique look
    of a dog in a bear hoodie...
[11:00] Shiori
    I dare say he's 90% Shinozaki-san.
[11:03] Shinozaki
    Almost 100%?!
[11:09] Shinozaki
    Well... would you like me to catch them?
[11:12] Shiori
    Can you?!
[11:14] Shinozaki
    I think so.
[11:16] Shinozaki
    When I was in high school,
    I used to spend a lot of time at the arcade,
[11:19] Shinozaki
    and I had a pretty decent collection
    of cute plushies like these.
[11:24] Shiori
    You must like cute things, Shinozaki-san.
[11:27] Shinozaki
    I do.
[11:29] Shinozaki
    One of the reasons I applied to Sunpick was
[11:31] Shinozaki
    because I wanted to be involved in
    making that sort of thing.
[11:35] Shiori
    I like that.
[11:38] Shiori
    Cute things, I mean!
[11:40] Shinozaki
    I see! That makes sense...
    Got kind of worked up there.
[11:44] Shiori
    Is something wrong?
[11:46] Shinozaki
    Oh, no, nothing.
[11:48] Shiori
    Our company's character, Meowtaro,
    is cute, too, isn't he?
[11:53] Shinozaki
    We had plenty of Meowtaro
    merch at home, too.
[11:56] Shinozaki
    My sister is six years older,
    and she loves him.
[11:59] Shinozaki
    Me liking cute stuff might be
    her influence, come to think of it.
[12:05] Shiori
    So you're a big sister's boy, Shinozaki-san?
[12:08] Shinozaki
    I dunno if I'd say that.
[12:14] Shiori
    It's cute.
[12:17] Shinozaki
    Y-You're the cute one, Senpai!
[12:22] Shinozaki
    Okay, here we go.
[12:24] Shiori
    Okay. Good luck!
[12:29] Shiori
    Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy...
[12:36] Shiori
    Sulk...
[12:38] Shiori
    That was a close one.
[12:39] Shinozaki
    I got more than
    a 100 yen's worth of value, for sure.
[12:42] Shinozaki
    I get the feeling I can manage on the next one.
[12:44] Shiori
    Are you sure?
[12:46] Shinozaki
    I want to protect this smile.

    I could watch this all day.
[13:04] Shinozaki
    Sorry about that, Senpai. But this time...
[13:07] Shiori
    Don't worry about it, Shinozaki-san.
[13:10] Shiori
    Even if you don't manage on the next one...
[13:12] Shiori
    My budget is 30,000!

    S-Sorry...
[13:39] Shiori
    It's fine.
[13:41] Shiori
    Two at once! Nicely done!
[13:44] Shinozaki
    Nah, that was a coincidence.
[13:47] Shiori
    Maybe the other one was worried
    about being lonely and tagged along.
[13:53] Shinozaki
    Th-That might be it.
[13:55] Shinozaki
    And you said that one reminded you of me...
[13:58] Shiori
    In that case, they should
    stay together, so they don't get lonely.
[14:04] Shinozaki
    Together...!
[14:10] Shinozaki
    She means the stuffed animals! That's all!
[14:13] Shiori
    Now that we've got them, let's name them!
[14:16] Shiori
    Since this one's a bear dog
    that looks like Shinozaki-san...
[14:20] Shiori
    Takuma-kun!
[14:21] Shinozaki
    That's kind of on the nose, isn't it?!
SIGN    Shinozaki Takuma
[14:23] Shiori
    Is that bad?
    I like how it has "kuma" like bear.
[14:26] Shinozaki
    I didn't say no!
[14:29] Shinozaki
    In that case, this one...
[14:30] Shinozaki
    Should probably be "Shiori-san," right?
[14:34] Shiori
    That's fine by me.
[14:35] Shinozaki
    It is?!
[14:37] Shiori
    They'd get along as senpai and kohai, then.
[14:41] Shinozaki
    G-Good point...
[14:43] Shinozaki
    Something about this is giving me
    butterflies in my tummy...
[14:46] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san.
[14:48] Shiori
    Thank you for getting
    these stuffed animals for me.
[14:53] Shinozaki
    Were you really that glad about it?
[14:56] Shiori
    Yes.
[15:02] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    This one should probably be

    something like that?!
[03:59] Akina
    What's wrong?
[04:00] Haykawa
    N-Nothing, th-thank you.
[04:04] Hayakawa
    Manager! Please don't tell anyone about this.
[04:08] Akina
    Is it supposed to be a secret?
[04:10] Hayakawa
    Please!
[04:11] Akina
    But it's really impressive.
[04:13] Hayakwa
    That's a matter of opinion.
[04:16] Hayakwa
    A-Anyway...
[04:17] Hayakwa
    Let's keep this a secret,
    just between us. Please.
[04:25] Akina
    Cute!
[04:27] Hayakawa
    Why would you say it again?!
[04:29] Akina
    Well...
[04:30] Akina
    The first one was more about
    your costume and how you look,
[04:35] Akina
    and the second one was more about
    you personally, Hayakawa-san.
[04:40] Hayakawa
    I didn't want an actual explanation!
[04:43] Hayakawa
    I didn't hear anything
    you just said! Not a thing!
[04:45] Akina
    But it's true that you're—
[04:48] Hayakawa
    Like! I! Said!
[04:49] Hayakawa
    I heard nothing!
SIGN    I love you.
[05:01] Hayakawa
    The deadline for Comiket
    submissions is coming up...
[05:05] Hayakawa
    But I can't focus.
[05:08] Hayakawa
    I can't believe my boss
    found out that I'm a cosplayer.
[05:12] Hayakawa
    I asked him to keep quiet,
    and I doubt he'd blab, but...
[05:17] Hayakawa
    I wonder if there's a pressure point
    to erase someone's memory...
[05:20] Akina
    Where am I? What are you?
[05:24] Hayakawa
    How did this even happen?
[05:26] Hayakawa
    Work is going to be a nightmare tomorrow.
[05:32] Shinozaki
    Senpai!
[05:33] Shinozaki
    I'd like you to review the materials I put
    together for the upcoming project submission.
[05:37] Shiori
    Sure! I'll take a look.
[05:39] Shiori
    Let's see here...
[05:41] Shiori
    Yep, you covered
    your bases nicely! Well done.
[05:45] Shinozaki
    Th-Thank you.
[05:46] Hayakawa
    Didn't get anywhere with my manuscript...
[05:49] Hayakawa
    Didn't sleep much...
[05:50] Hayakawa
    This really sucks...
[05:52] Shinozaki
    Hayakawa. Hey, Hayakawa?
[05:56] Shinozaki
    You okay? You look worn out.
[05:59] Haykawa
    Oh, er, I-I'm totally fine!
[06:02] Haykawa
    It's just, a bunch of stuff happened
    yesterday... and I didn't get much sleep.
[06:07] Shiori
    A lack of sleep can contribute
    to all kinds of health problems.
[06:10] Shiori
    Be careful, okay?
[06:12] Shiori
    When you can't sleep, try counting cats!
[06:15] Shiori
    One kitty,
[06:17] Shiori
    two kitties,
[06:19] Shiori
    three kitties,
[06:20] Shinozaki
    I think most people use sheep...
[06:20] Shiori
    four kitties—
[06:23] Shinozaki
    No! Cats are fine, too.
[06:26] Hayakawa
    Thanks for the concern, Katase-san.
[06:29] Akina
    Hayakawa-san...
[06:31] Akina
    Are you not feeling well? Everything okay?
[06:34] Hayakawa
    M-Manager?!
[06:35] Hayakawa
    Uh, well... er... yes, I-I'm okay.
[06:41] Akina
    Okay. In that case, would you like to
    join me for dinner tonight?
[06:46] Akina
    I was hoping we could talk.
[06:49] Akina
    In a nice, quiet restaurant.
[06:51] Akina
    Just the two of us,
    if that's all right.
[06:53] Hayakawa
    Dinner for j-just the two of us?!
    You mean like...
[06:57] Akina
    Cute... Cute... Cute...
[07:02] Hayakawa
    W-Well...
[07:04] Hayakawa
    a-as long as we're done before the last train.
[07:07] Akina
    Sounds great.
[07:08] Akina
    Let me know when
    you're done work.
[07:12] Hayakawa
    Okay.
[07:14] Shioiri
    Is this a date?
[07:15] Hayakawa
    I-It isn't!
[07:16] Shiori
    Sounds suspicious!
[07:18] Hayakawa
    Well, it's not!
[07:21] Hayakawa
    Right.
[07:22] Hayakawa
    This isn't a date or anything like that.
[07:28] Hayakawa
    My boss just... asked me out...
    for a bit of dinner.
[07:34] Hayakawa
    It's nothing.
[07:36] Hayakawa
    It's not a big deal!
[07:40] Hayakawa
    Sorry about the wait.
[07:49] Akina
    You okay?
[07:50] Hayakawa
    W-Well... er...
[07:53] Hayakawa
    Thanks for the save.
[07:55] Akina
    Don't mention it. Watch your step, now.
[07:58] Hayakawa
    Okay.
[07:59] Akina
    Speaking of... when you came for your
    employment test, didn't you break a heel?
[08:05] Hayakwa
    You remember that?
[08:08] Akina
    Of course I do.
[08:14] Akina
    That must've been rough.
[08:16] Akina
    But I'm glad you passed,
    and now we get to work together.
[08:21] Hayakawa
    He remembered...
[08:24] Akina
    Now, let's get a move on, Hayakawa-san.
[08:27] Hayakawa
    O-Okay.
[08:31] Akina
    I'd think you're used to the office by now,
[08:34] Akina
    but do you have any issues
    or things you're worried about?
[08:37] Hayakawa
    No. Everyone is really nice,
    so nothing comes to mind.
[08:41] Akina
    Well, that's good to hear.
[08:43] Akina
    The section chief mentioned
    how impressed he was
[08:45] Akina
    with how much faster you've gotten.
[08:46] Hayakawa
    Come on, it's nothing that impressive.
[08:50] Hayakawa
    All he's brought up
    during dinner is work stuff,
[08:54] Hayakawa
    so I guess this is more like
    a dinner meeting than anything.
[08:58] Hayakawa
    Manager, didn't you mention
    something you wanted to discuss?
[09:03] Akina
    Right.
[09:05] Akina
    Hayakawa-san...
[09:07] Akina
    I know this might surprise you
    coming out of the blue, but...
[09:15] Akina
    Hayakawa-san...
[09:18] Akina
    when I look at you, I got really excited.
[09:24] Akina
    I've never felt this way before,
[09:28] Akina
    and I'm not sure if it's fair
    to spring this on you...
[09:32] Hayakawa
    Hang on... is this... is he...?!
[09:39] Akina
    Hayakawa-san!
[09:40] Hayakawa
    Y-Yes?!
[09:43] Akina
    I'd like to attend a cosplay event with you!
[09:49] Akina
    I mean, when I think about
    how you made that costume,
[09:52] Akina
    I get excited thinking about
    how much fun it must be!
[09:55] Hayakawa
    That's what you meant?!
[09:57] Hayakawa
    Well... are you saying you
    want to cosplay, too, Manager?
[10:00] Akina
    Nope. When I went home
    and started looking into it,
[10:03] Akina
    I found out about photo sessions
    they have for cosplay, and well...
[10:08] Akina
    I'd love to capture your exploits with this!
[10:10] Hayakawa
    What a scary combo of initiative
    and purchasing power!
[10:13] Hayakawa
    I-I mean, you could just take pictures
    of whatever cosplay you want.
[10:17] Hayakawa
    You don't need me for that...
[10:19] Akina
    But you were the one who made me
    realize it'd be fun, Hayakawa-san.
[10:24] Akina
    I want it to be you.
[10:30] Hayakawa
    It's not fair how he can just say stuff
    like that with a straight face...
[10:36] Hayakawa
    The month after next,
[10:39] Hayakawa
    there's going to be an event
    at the same location, so if you want...
[10:44] Hayakawa
    Oh, but in exchange, you need the check out
    the things my costumes are from!
SIGN    Real otaku always proselytize
[10:49] Hayakawa
    Otherwise you can't take pictures!
[10:53] Akina
    Cute.
[10:54] Hayakawa
    How?!
[10:55] Hayakawa
    None of that was cute at all!
[10:57] Akina
    Yes, it was. The way you're so earnest
    about talking about the things you like.
[11:01] Akina
    It was very c—
[11:02] Hayakawa
    No more explanations!
[11:04] Akina
    But you're the one who was—
[11:05] Hayakawa
    I do not want to hear it at all!
    Not another word!
[11:13] Hayakawa
    Shinozaki, you wanna grab lunch?
[11:15] Shinozaki
    Sure. Let me just finish this up.
[11:18] Hayakawa
    Got it.
[11:21] Shinozaki
    You need to talk?
[11:23] Hayakawa
    Well... yeah.
[11:28] Shinozaki
    Okay, one sec. I'll be right there.
[11:30] Hayakawa
    I'll wait in the lobby.
[11:32] Akina
    Y'know, Hayakawa-san and Shinozaki-kun
    seem closer than regular coworkers.
[11:37] Shiori
    Apparently, they're childhood friends
    who grew up as neighbors.
[11:40] Akina
    Oh, right. I remember
    hearing about that, now.
[11:43] Shiori
    Are you interested in what's going on?
[11:47] Akina
    Katase-san, there's no need to get giddy.
[11:49] Shiori
    Since you always pick on me,
    I'm just glad for a chance at payback!
[11:53] Akina
    Hayakawa-san might've denied it before,
    but maybe there is actually a chance...

[12:15] Shiori
    Aren't you forgetting an option?

    Another option...?
[12:20] Hayakawa
    There's nothing like another girl.

    H-Hayakawa-san...
[12:26] Akina
    Of course.
[12:28] Shiori
    Why would you take it that way?!
[12:30] Akina
    You brought it up, Katase-san,
[12:33] Akina
    but aren't you curious about what's going on
    with Shinozaki-kun and Hayakawa-san?
[12:37] Shiori
    N-Not really. The two of them
    can be as friendly as they want...
[12:41] Shiori
    B-Besides, why would I care?

    I dunno, why would you?

[12:59] Shinozaki
    The manager found out you're an otaku?
[13:02] Hayakawa
    I got careless.
[13:03] Shinozaki
    How'd that even happen?
[13:05] Shinozaki
    Did he see something you were drawing...?
[13:07] Hayakawa
    Not exactly.
[13:11] Hayakawa
    Shinozaki knows I'm an otaku,
    but not about the cosplay stuff.
[13:15] Shinozaki
    I don't really think him knowing
    is a problem, though.
[13:20] Hayakawa
    Well... maybe not a big problem...
[13:24] Hayakawa
    Not a serious one, but...
[13:26] (Flashback) Akina
    Cute... Cute... Cute...
[13:31] Shinozaki
    If it's not a problem, then what's the issue?
[13:33] Hayakawa
    You're right.
[13:35] Hayakawa
    I guess I should be glad
    he didn't see me drawing BL dojinshi.
[13:38] Akina
    Whacha talking about?
[13:40] Hayakawa
    M-Manager?!
[13:42] Hayakawa
    Did he hear all that?!
[13:45] Shinozaki
    Are you here for lunch with Senpai?
[13:47] Akina
    Are you curious?
[13:49] Shinozaki
    Not exactly... and why are you
    grinning like that?
[13:53] Shiori
    Do you mind if
    we join you for lunch?
[13:56] Hayakawa
    Oh, sure.
[13:58] Shiori
    In that case, I wanna sit
    next to Hayakawa-san!
[14:04] Akina
    Don't let it bug you.
[14:05] Shinozaki
    What is up with you today?!
[14:07] Shiori
    I wonder what I should get.
[14:10] Akina
    I'm curious, Hayakawa-san.
[14:13] Akina
    What's BL?
[14:15] Hayakawa
    W-Well, it's, er... it is sort of a...

    What do you think?
[14:56] Shinozaki
    It's cu—er, very nice looking.
[14:59] Shinozaki
    I was kinda surprised.

    That being the case,
    once again: trick or treat!
[15:06] Shinozaki
    S-Sorry, I didn't get anything ready...

    And with cat ears on.

    By the way, Hayakawa-san.

    Happy Halloween!

    Yep, I was right. Your cat-like

    overindulge on sweets, though.
[16:13] Shinozaki
    Right! It can cause all kinds of problems.
[16:15] Shiori
    But it's Halloween, so what can you do?
[16:19] Shinozaki
    True.
[16:20] Shiori
    That also applies to Christmas, Valentine's,
    birthdays, and Hinamatsuri.
[16:25] Shinozaki
    Agreed!
[16:26] Shinozaki
    That's a lot of exceptions!
[16:29] Shinozaki
    Senpai, did you try these chocolates?
[16:31] Shiori
    Not yet.
[16:33] Shinozaki
    They're pretty good.
    They've got a more mature taste.

    A mature taste?

    I-Is she...?

    Sh-She's waiting for me to

[17:13] Shiori
    Too bad. Time's up.

    I'm so stupid! I wasted my chance!

    What's going on with Katase-san?
[17:49] Shiori
    Don't go!
[17:49] Shinozaki
    She just had one of these chocolates...
[17:52] Akina
    Chocolate?
[17:53] Akina
    Oh, these have alcohol in them.

    Who could get that drunk off
    of one chocolate?

    Would someone please help me?!

    Uh, well, I—I wasn't thinking
    anything naughty!

    always, always work so hard for us,
[19:16] Shiori
    and to get our work done!
[19:18] Shinozaki
    She's bowing out of gratitude?!
[19:20] Akina
    Maybe it's less about kissing
[19:23] Akina
    and more about her emotions
    towards people getting amplified?
[19:25] Shiori
    Oh bless you, bless you, God and Manager!
[19:28] Shinozaki
    Th-That might be it.
[19:31] Shinozaki

    So Senpai thinks...
[20:41] (Flashback) Shiori
    You used to have no idea
    what to do on your own...
[20:46] Shinozaki
    I'm a little disappointed,
    but I'm still glad.
[20:51] Akina
    Katase-san, Katase-san.
[20:54] Akina
    What do you think about Shinozaki-kun
    personally, and not as a coworker?
[21:01] Shinozaki
    Senpai, I've got your water.
[21:04] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san is...
[21:07] Shiori
    When it comes to him... I'm not sure yet...
[21:16] Akina
    I thought I had her that time.
[21:18] Hayakawa
    Never mind that! Could you
    please delete that picture?
[21:22] Akina
    Which one do you mean?
[21:23] Hayakawa
    The one with Katase-san and I... y'know...
[21:25] Akina
    This one?
[21:27] Hayakawa
    Hurry up and delete it!
[21:29] Akina
    Can I use it on my home screen?

    I still can't bring myself
    to drink that bitter coffee
[21:55] ---
    So I sneakily toss in
    two pinches of a sweet secret
[21:59] ---
    And let it slowly spread throughout
[22:04] ---
    There's a local bakery
    that's only open sometimes
[22:08] ---
    Where I once had some toast that glittered
[22:14] ---
    What is it that makes it so satisfying?
[22:18] ---
    Almost like magic
[22:22] ---
    I find myself thinking about that kind of thing
[22:27] ---
    How the small things can be the most precious
[22:33] ---
    Deep inside my heart
[22:37] ---
    It's ever so bittersweet
[22:43] ---
    "Just being around you is enough"
[22:47] ---
    Becomes my mantra

    It's already December...
[00:04] Shinozaki
    The year really flew by.
[00:07] Shiori
    It did.
[00:09] Shiori
    But...
[00:11] Shiori
    Christmas is in December!
[00:13] Akina
    Merry Christmas!
[00:16] Shinozaki
    Isn't it kinda early...?
[00:17] Akina
    What presents should I get everyone?
[00:20] Shiori
    I'll handle the drinks and cake!
[00:24] Shinozaki
    She really does love these kinds events.
[00:27] Shiori
    I'm curious, Shinozaki-san, do you
    have any plans for Christmas Day?
[00:32] Shinozaki
    Not really...
[00:33] Shinozaki
    It's a weekday this year,
    so I'll probably just be working.
[00:36] Shiori
    I see.
[00:38] Shinozaki
    I might not have plans, but...
[00:40] Shinozaki
    if I come to work, I'll get to see
    Senpai, so I won't be lonely.
[00:46] Shiori
    Since her kohai is going to be
    working hard on Christmas Day,
[00:49] Shiori
    Santa Senpai is going to have
    something special for him!
[00:53] Shiori
    Make sure to be a good boy until then!
[00:56] Shinozaki
    Huh?
[00:56] Shiori
    Ho, ho, ho... Ho, ho, ho...
[01:02] Shiori
    I'm sorry! I don't know why, but I'm sorry!
[01:05] Shinozaki
    N-No, it's not like that!
[01:07] Shinozaki
    She was so cute my mind completely froze up!
[01:10] Shiori
    I'm so sorry... a-and embarrassed...
[01:15] Shinozaki
    N-No, I should be a-apologizing!
[01:21] Akina
    Glance...
[01:22] Akina
    Will there be a Santa Hayakawa...?
[01:24] Hayakawa
    There will not.

    proposal regarding the Meowtaro collaboration.
[03:03] Shiori
    Did you have any questions?
[03:05] Employee from another Company (Male; 30s)
    No, that made a lot of
    sense. Thank you so much.

    In that case, Shinozaki will contact you

[03:17] Shinozaki
    I-I'll be in touch.

    Right, I'll be waiting to hear from you.
[03:23] Shinozaki
    I'm still not used to meeting with clients...
[03:27] Shiori
    I know what you mean.
[03:29] Shiori
    It's a different kind of tension
    from having a meeting at the office.
[03:33] Shiori
    Still, you were very well-spoken
    today, Shinozaki-san.
[03:37] Shinozaki
    Th-Thank you.
[03:42] Shiori
    Look, Shinozaki-san!
[03:44] Shiori
    Isn't that loungewear adorable?
[03:47] Shinozaki
    It is.
[03:50] Shinozaki
    Bunny ears, huh...?
[03:54] Shiori
    What do you think?
    I'm your bunny-eared senpai!
[03:59] Shinozaki
    It'd definitely be cute if she wore it...
[04:03] Shiori
    I think it'd look great
    on you, Shinozaki-san.
[04:06] Shinozaki
    On me?!
[04:07] Shinozaki
    What makes you say that?
[04:09] Shiori
    I mean...
[04:11] Shiori
    Look at the bear-ear hood.
[04:14] Shiori
    It's just like that stuffed
    animal we won at the arcade.
[04:21] Shiori
    Wait, w-why am I trying to
    make them look alike?!
[04:25] Shinozaki
    In that case, wouldn't this
    Shiori-san-looking bunny one be for you?

    I don't want to be a
    sexually harassing senpai!

[04:50] Shiori
    M-My point is, me wearing
    this would be a bit...
[04:54] Shinozaki
    It's the same for me.

    But...
[04:58] Shiniozaki
    If Senpai put it on...
[05:01] Shiori
    If Shinozaki-san put it on...

    It'd definitely be cute.

[15:31] Shinozaki

    and my parents received a call about it.
[16:06] Shinozaki
    That's adorable.
[16:07] Shinozaki
    And definitely sounds like you.
[16:10] Shiori
    I guess we haven't changed
    much since we were little.
[16:21] Shiori
    I guess staying out for so long,
    it was bound to get cold.
[16:26] Shinozaki
    Senpai! She doesn't have gloves!
[16:29] Shinozaki
    Maybe I should subtly guide
    her hands into my pockets...?
[16:33] Shiori
    What a good kohai you are! It's so warm!
[16:37] Shinozaki
    That might be kinda rude, though,
    so I should ask first...
[16:41] Shinozaki
    Uh, Senpai...
[16:44] Shinozaki
    She had gloves!
[16:47] Shiori
    What's wrong?
[16:48] Shinozaki
    Uh, well... nothing, really.
[16:53] Shiori
    Huh? Shinozaki-san,
    do you not have any gloves?
[16:57] Shinozaki
    Oh, no.
[16:58] Shinozaki
    But I'll be okay with
    my hands in my pockets.
[17:02] Shiori
    That's no good! I've got extras, so here...
[17:06] Shinozaki
    Yeah, that makes sense.
[17:10] Shiori
    I'm so sorry! I'll make sure
    to have some ready next year.
[17:13] Shinozaki
    No, I should probably just
    get some of my own...
[17:17] Shinozaki
    She just casually made a
    promise for next year.
[17:20] Man A
    Ugh, look at this.
[17:23] Man A
    Just like I figured,
    we came at the worst time.
[17:25] Man B
    Tell me about it.
    Couples, as far as the eye can see!
[17:28] Man A
    What a drag...
[17:30] Man A
    Will springtime ever come for us?
[17:33] Man B
    I bet everyone here is gonna
    have a great time later on.
[17:37] Shinozaki
    Um, perhaps we should head on home?
[17:40] Shiori
    G-Good idea.
[17:42] Shiori
    Oh, but first...
[17:45] Shiori
    Here.
[17:47] Shinozaki
    The bear loungewear?
[17:48] Shiori
    When we were heading back from that meeting,
    we both thought they looked nice, right?
[17:52] Shiori
    It's a Christmas present from your senpai.
[17:56] Shiori
    Do you like it?
[17:57] Shinozaki
    I-I do! Thank you!
[18:00] Shinozaki
    And to be honest...
[18:03] Shinozaki
    It's the rabbit one, from the same time.
[18:08] Shiori
    Thank you so much!
[18:10] Shinozaki
    I guess we were thinking the same thing...
[18:13] Shiori
    Something about that makes me happy.
[18:16] Shinozaki
    I thought you would look good
    in it, and how I'd like to see that...
[18:25] Shinozaki
    W-Well, since we traded
    presents, let's hurry home!
[18:30] Shiori
    We could...
[18:34] Shiori
    We could... show each other...
[18:37] Shinozaki
    Wait... you mean...
[18:40] Shinozaki
    that...
[18:51] Akina
    Can't believe I left the flash on!
[18:53] Akina
    I'll regret this until the day I die.
[18:55] Hayakawa
    Seriously!
[18:56] Shinozaki
    Manager?!
[18:57] Shiori
    Hayakawa-san, too?!
[18:59] Shiori
    Unbelievable! How long have
    you two been watching?!
[19:04] Akina
    Well, it was very sweet!
[19:06] Akina
    Sweeter than any Christmas
    or fruitcake I've ever had!
[19:09] Hayakawa
    I have to say, Katase-san, you're bolder
     than I figured. I'm surprised.
[19:15] Hayakawa
    I mean, considering you discussing showing
    each other loungewear on Christmas Day...
[19:24] Shiori
    N-N-No! Not that! I thought we could send
    each other pictures of us wearing them!
[19:30] Shiori
    And then... uh... well...
[19:34] Shiori
    We could... exchange contact info, maybe...
[19:42] Shinozaki
    Oh, right! Let's do that!
[19:44] Shinozaki
    Exchange contact info!
[19:46] Shiori
    Th-Thank you...
[19:48] Shinozaki
    R-Right!
[19:49] Akina
    You, too, Hayakawa-san.
[19:50] Hayakawa
    Uh, err, I'm good.
[19:56] Hayakawa
    O-Okay, fine!
[20:00] Hayakawa
    There.
[20:00] Akina
    Thank you, Hayakawa-san!
[20:04] Shinozaki
    It's snowing.
[20:07] Shiori
    It's a white Christmas. How romantic.
[20:11] Shinozaki
    Yeah.
[20:12] Shinozaki
    Almost seems too convenient.
[20:13] Akina
    Let's chalk it up to God bestowing a
    blessing on hard-working people.
[20:19] Shiori
    That sounds right!
[20:21] Shinozaki
    Do you think the
    snow will pile up?
[20:23] Shiori
    That'd be nice.
[20:25] Akina
    And then we can all
    make a snowman together!
[20:28] Shiori
    I like that idea!
[20:29] Hayakawa
    I dunno...
[20:30] Akina
    What kind of ears would
    you want, Hayakawa-san?
[20:31] Hayakawa
    Why are we talking about ears?
[20:43] Shiori
    Okay!
[20:53] Shiori
    So short...
[20:55] Shiori
    Maybe I'm a little too old
    for this kind of thing?
[20:59] Shiori
    But it's loungewear, so...
    it's probably fine.
[21:03] Shiori
    Besides, it was a gift!
[21:10] Shiori
    How's it look?
[21:13] Shiori
    I shouldn't expect an
    answer from a plushie...
[21:20] Shiori
    But, I think... Shinozaki-san...
[21:28] Shiori
    Thank you.

    Deadline's the day after tomorrow.
[03:33] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    And all my friends who usually
    help out are super busy, so...
[03:37] (Flashback) Shiori
    That sounds rough.

[03:41] (Flashback) Akina
    You need some help?
[03:43] (Flashback) Hayakawa

    Let me know when you see it.
[04:18] (Flashback) Akina
    Got it!
[04:19] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    In that case, could you start
    with pages 16 to 22?
[04:23] (Flashback) Akina
    Roger!
[04:25] (Flashback) Akina
    Could you take a look
    when I finish the first page?
[04:27] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    Understood.
[04:29] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    It might be an 18 plus BL book,
    but that scene isn't too sexy...
[04:33] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    I'm glad I was able to get help.
[04:36] Akina
    I'm really impressed, Hayakawa-san.
[04:40] (Flashback) Akina
    It's amazing that you can create something
    so incredible from scratch.
[04:45] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    Thank you...
[04:49] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    I appreciate it, but considering it's 18 plus BL...
[04:51] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    And with it being a derivative work,
    it's not exactly from scratch!
[04:55] (Flashback) Akina
    I finished my first page!
[04:57] (Flashback) Akina
    Check it out!
[04:59] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    O-Okay.
[05:01] (Flashback) Hayakawa

    to handle a sexy scene!
[05:12] Akina
    Gotta say, that was a lot of fun!
    Our first project together.

    Now that this 18 plus BL book is finished,

    it's the product of our love!
[05:21] Hayakawa
    That's not exactly wrong,
    but could be interpreted in a weird way!

    Sh-Shinozaki-san?!
[11:55] Shiori
    I actually look like a cat to him, don't I?!
[12:00] Shinozaki
    Will she get mad if I touch her?
[12:05] Shiori
    My kohai from work...
[12:08] Shiori
    I should be embarrassed...
    to have him see meow like this...
[12:13] Shiori
    M-My body...
[12:16] Shiori
    It's... got this urge...
[12:19] Shiori
    I-I don't think I can...
[12:26] Shiori
    resist meow instincts!
[12:29] Shiori
    Pet me! Pay attention to me!
[12:33] Shiori
    For meow to be doing this...
[12:38] Shiori
    I'm embarrassed,
[12:42] Shiori
    but can't resist!
[12:45] Shinozaki
    What is it? You want me to pet you?
[12:51] Shinozaki
    There you go.
[12:56] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san's big hands feel so nice...
[13:06] Shinozaki
    Does it feel good when I touch you there?
[13:11] Shiori
    Sh-Shinozaki-san! When you say it like that,
    it sounds naughty to meow!
[13:17] Shiori
    But...
[13:19] Shiori
    it does feel good.
[13:22] Shiori
    Which is why...
[13:25] Shiori
    I'd want you to pet me...
[13:28] Shiori
    when I'm not a cat.
[13:31] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san...
[13:36] Shiori
    That's one crazy dream

[13:51] Yutaka
    I'm Shinozaki Yutaka, an office worker.
[13:56] Yutaka
    And my brother has been
    acting weird since he got home.
[14:03] Shinozaki
    I'm going out tomorrow.
[14:04] Mom
    Oh, really? With who?
[14:07] Shinozaki
    Someone from work.
[14:07] Shinozaki
    My bangs are getting long...
    Maybe I should've gotten a haircut.
[14:13] Yutaka
    I'm positive.
[14:15] Yutaka
    He's absolutely got a woman!
[14:19] Yutaka
    Li'l bro. Time for a psychology test.
[14:23] Shinozaki
    Where is this even coming from...?
[14:25] Yuataka
    You're walking down a road,
    and you see three animals in front of you.
[14:30] Yuataka
    If you could give rubbies
    to one of them, which one?
[14:34] Shinozaki
    "Rubbies"?
[14:35] Yutaka
    A: A clever doggy.
[14:39] Yutaka
    B: A sexy female cougar.
[14:42] Shinozaki
    These options are getting weird...
[14:45] Yutaka
    C: A cute little kitten.
[14:48] Shinozaki
    The kitten... I guess.
[14:54] Yutaka
    I see. Then his woman must be the kitty type.
[14:59] Yutaka
    Now, how is this kitten behaving?
[15:02] Shinozaki
    There's more?!
SIGN    Fluffy
[15:03] Yutaka
    A: Fluffy.

    C: Smiley.
[15:13] Shinozaki
    Can animal's smile?!
[15:15] Shinozaki
    I guess... fluffy, meow-meow-ey, and smiley?
[15:23] Yutaka
    I see. Then my brother's girl is
    like a fluffy, meow-meow-ey, smiley kitty...
[15:30] Yutaka
    In that case, I should check her out.
[15:33] Yutaka
    This fluffy, meow-meow-ey,
    smiley kitty woman of his!
[15:41] Shinozaki
    Senpai!
[15:42] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san!
[15:54] Shiori
    Happy New Year.
[15:56] Shiori
    I'm looking forward to
    working together this year.
[15:59] Shinozaki
    S-So cute...
[16:02] Shinozaki
    Happy New Year.
[16:05] Shinozaki
    The feeling is mutual.
[16:08] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san...
[16:14] Shinozaki
    Senpai...
[16:19] Both
    This is awkward, after that dream...
[16:23] Akina
    Looks like we're in for another sweet year!
[16:27] Hayakawa
    What are you talking about, Manager?
[16:29] Akina
    I mean, come on!
[16:31] Shiori
    Wh-What's that supposed to mean, Manager?
[16:34] Yutaka
    That's it... It must be.
    My brother's woman.
[16:39] Yutaka
    Wh-Wh-What in the world?!
[16:41] Yutaka
    What even is that adorable, little thing?!
[16:44] Yutaka
    Her hair is so fluffy!
[16:46] Yutaka
    And she's meow-meow-ey and smiley...
[16:56] Yutaka
    Yes, quite fluffy indeed.
[17:00] Shinozaki
    What are you even doing, Sis?!
[17:03] Yutaka
    I'm performing a background check, clearly.
[17:06] Shiori
    Are you Shinozaki-san's big sister?
[17:10] Yutaka
    Indeed. Forgive me for startling you.
[17:12] Shiori
    My name is Katase.
    We work in the same department.
[17:14] Shiori
    Your brother is always a ton of help.
[17:21] Shinozaki
    Enough, already!
[17:23] Hayakawa
    His sister never changes...
[17:26] Akina
    What do you mean?
[17:28] Hayakawa
    She's always gone crazy
    over small, cute things.
[17:34] Yutaka
    May I take her home with me?
[17:36] Shinozaki
    Obviously not!
[17:38] Akina
    Shinozaki-kun's sister.
[17:41] Yutaka
    Who's this?
[17:42] Hayakawa
    This is our department's manager.
[17:44] Yutaka
    Oh, Chika-chan's here, too.
[17:45] Akina
    It's a pleasure to meat you.
[17:46] Yutaka
    My brother's boss...
[17:49] Akina
    Katase-san and Shinozaki-kun
    are such a great pair,
[17:53] Akina
    which is evident by how
    excellently they work together.
[17:58] Akina
    Shinozaki-kun's thorough
    but over-cautious approach
[18:01] Akina
    is an excellent match for Katase-san's
    dynamic and supportive style.
[18:05] Akina
    On top of their contributions to the team,
[18:07] Akina
    they also help set
    a positive tone in the office.
[18:13] Akina
    I'm curious, miss...
[18:14] Yutaka
    The name's Yutaka.
[18:16] Akina
    Yutaka-san.
[18:17] Akina
    Do you have any siblings
    other than Shinozaki-kun?
[18:20] Yutaka
    It's just the two of us.
[18:23] Akina
    How do you feel about...
    having a tiny, cute little sister?
[18:27] Yutaka
    Well, let's see...
[18:29] Yutaka
    Ideally, she'd be fluffy,
    and meow-meow-ey, like this.
[18:33] Akina
    You realize... you'd get one
    if your brother marries her.
[18:40] Shiori
    Big sister!
[18:44] Yutaka
    Big... sister...
[18:47] Shiori
    Big sister!
[18:51] Yutaka
    Yes!
[18:52] Yutaka
    Li'l bro!
[18:58] Yutaka
    So, when's the wedding?
[19:00] Shinozaki
    Wha...
[19:02] Shinozaki
    Go home!
[19:04] Yutaka
    You're both adults, so there shouldn't be
    any problems in terms of age.
[19:07] Shinozaki
    Did it not occur to you
    there are other considerations?!
[19:11] Yutaka
    Get Married Beam!
[19:12] Shinozaki
    There's no such beam!
[19:14] Hayakawa
    You seriously haven't changed.
[19:18] Hayakawa
    And you should
    stop toying with them, Manager!
[19:20] Akina
    But come on!
[19:22] Shinozaki
    I'm so sorry, Senpai...
[19:24] Shinozaki
    My sister can be really rude.
[19:26] Shiori
    It's okay...
[19:28] Shiori
    It's good to see you two get along.
[19:32] Shinozaki
    Is that what it looks like?
[19:33] Shinozaki
    I'm not so sure.
[19:37] Shinozaki
    We always tended to like the same things,
    so we'd end up fighting over stuff.
[19:42] Shiori
    You like the same things...
[19:48] Shiori
    I... I see.
[19:51] Shiori
    Does that mean, Shinozaki-san...
[19:55] Shiori
    When it comes to me...
[19:58] Shinozaki
    Er, well...
[20:02] Akina
    You two!
[20:04] Yutaka
    I get to give a speech at the wedding, right?
[20:07] Akina
    No, it's me, right?!
[20:08] Yutaka
    As the groom's sister, it's me!
[20:10] Akina
    I'm both the groom and
    the bride's boss. It should be me!
[20:12] Yutaka
    Me!
[20:14] Akina
    Me!
[20:15] Yutaka
    It has to be me!
[20:16] Akina
    No, no, me!
[20:18] Yutaka
    Me! Me!
[20:19] Akina
    Me! Me!
[20:20] Hayakawa
    Hard to say whether they get along or not...
[20:20] Yutaka
    Me! Me!
[20:21] Akina
    Me! Me!
[20:23] Akina
    So, which one?!
[20:26] Shinozaki/Shiori
    Which one what?!
[20:30] Akina
    Come to think of it, does Yutaka-san
    ever mess with you, Hayakawa-san?
[20:35] Hayakawa
    Well, I'm not small or cute, after all.
[20:46] Akina
    You seem small and cute to me.
[20:56] Hayakawa
    Manager... listen...
[20:59] Yutaka
    For favors at the ceremony,
[21:00] Yutaka
    we can give away these cute plates
    with a print of Shiorin on them.
[21:03] Shiori
    I'm "Shiorin" now...?
[21:05] Shinozaki
    Wait, what about me?
[21:06] Yutaka
    No one cares.
[21:07] Shinozaki
    Why not?!
[21:08] Akina
    The trend these days is to have people
    pick from a catalog, anyway.
[21:11] Shinozaki
    Don't encourage her, Manager!
[21:15] Hayakawa
    Enough already!
[21:17] Akina
    Okay.
[21:20] Shiori
    Come on, let's all head to the shrine together!
[21:23] Shinozaki
    Sounds good. I wonder
    if there'll be food stalls.
[21:25] Akina
    You want one of these?
[21:26] Hayakawa
    No, I don't.
[21:27] Shiori
    I sure hope so!
[21:27] Akina
    Wanna put the cat ears on?
[21:28] Hayakwa
    No, I don't!
[21:29] Akina
    They're so cute, though...
[21:30] Hayakawa
    Never!

    I have to say, New Year's went

    Considering you were a student last year,

    She's different?

    Her clothes and shoes are different,

    but I don't think she'd ask

[04:39] Shinozaki
    That's it!

    Did you switch to a different shampoo?

    He seems really stumped.
[05:10] Shiori
    I should give him an obvious hint.
[05:13] Shiori
    Okay, here's a hint.

    It's not my hair or anything in particular
    like that, but more my body as a whole.

    Your whole body?

    Well, there's a big size difference between us.

    Now that you mention it,
    you do seem a bit taller...

    Wanna do it in secret?!
[07:53] Shinozaki
    He doesn't give up!
[07:54] Shiori
    Hiss!
[07:55] Shiori
    Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
[07:57] Shiori
    Please stop trying to assign work
    directly to my subordinates!
[08:01] Ishiyama
    But you wouldn't do it, Katase-san...
[08:04] Shiori
    I never said I wouldn't!
[08:08] Shiori
    But if you need something done,
[08:09] Shiori
    you need to talk to me first,
    so we can do things properly.
[08:15] Ishiyama
    You mean it?!
[08:17] Ishiyama
    In that case, I was wondering...
[08:19] Akina
    Katase-san really is quite the reliable senpai.
[08:19] Shiori
    Okay.
[08:20] Shiori
    I see...
[08:23] Shiori
    This should be doable
    if we adjust the schedule.
[08:24] Shinozaki
    Yeah.
[08:26] Ishiyama
    Really?! Thank you!
[08:29] Shinozaki
    How'd your fortune turn out, Senpai?
[08:33] Shiori
    Not telling.
[08:36] Shiori
    My Tiny Senpai.
[08:48] Hayakawa
    I'm still not used to being
     here at night...
[08:54] Akina
    Whatcha doing?
[08:56] Hayakawa
    My boss can seem to appear out of thin air.
[09:01] Hayakawa
    D-Don't scare me like that!
    I thought you were a ghost or something.
[09:05] Akina
    Sorry, sorry.
[09:06] Akina
    But why are you working late
    by yourself if you're scared?
[09:10] Akina
    Were you really that busy?
[09:13] Hayakawa
    Well...
[09:14] (Flashback) Ishiyama
    Pwease?
[09:16] Hayakawa
    Ishiyama-san in PR said
    he needed this tomorrow...
[09:21] Akina
    Did he get approval from
    your supervisor for this?
[09:25] Akina
    Hayakawa-san...
[09:27] Hayakawa
    I know, I know!
[09:29] Hayakawa
    He asked me right at the end of the day
[09:32] Hayakawa
    and said there was no one else
    he could turn to.
[09:35] Akina
    Even so, fundamentally speaking, you really
    shouldn't accept assignments on your own.
[09:39] Akina
    Especially since you're new. Ask first.
[09:42] Hayakawa
    Okay.
[09:43] Hayakawa
    But I thought, if I could just
    get it done in secret...
[09:46] Akina
    Still no.
[09:47] Akina
    That'd just mean he's taking advantage
    of how nice you are, Hayakawa-san.
[09:57] Akina
    And speaking as a manager,
    it's not nice at all!
[10:02] Hayakwa
    You're completely right.
[10:03] Akina
    I'll have a word with Ishiyama-kun.
[10:06] Hayakawa
    Sorry about all this...
[10:08] Akina
    Well, it's part of the job.
[10:11] Hayakawa
    Um...
[10:14] Hayakawa
    I really appreciate it.
[10:18] Akina
    What?! What's wrong?! You okay?!
[10:21] Hayakawa
    Sorry...
[10:23] Hayakawa
    It's just, having someone looking out
    for me... made me so glad, y'know?
[10:29] Hayakawa
    It's a real relief.
[10:33] Akina
    One second.
[10:36] Akina
    Here.
[10:38] Hayakawa
    Thank you.
[10:43] Akina
    Have you eaten anything?
[10:45] Hayakawa
    It was a rush job, so...
[10:47] Akina
    How much longer do you think it'll be?
[10:49] Hayakawa
    I just need to submit it and I'll be done.
[10:51] Akina
    So fast!
[10:52] Akina
    If you've got time,
    do you wanna grab something to eat?
[10:57] Hayakawa
    You sure?
[10:58] Akina
    Consider it a little reward
    for a hard worker who made a mistake.
[11:05] Hayakawa
    How can he just say stuff like that...?
[11:13] Hayakawa
    The entrance made it look like
    modern residence,
[11:15] Hayakawa
    but it's got an old fashioned Japanese style.
[11:17] Akina
    Kinda surprising, right?
[11:19] Akina
    Tempting to just space out, taking it in.
[11:22] Hayakawa
    What?! Why did he just sit next to me?
[11:25] Hayakawa
    Is this a move?
[11:27] Hayakawa
    Is he pulling some kind of move on me?!

[11:32] Hayakawa
    What a big non-alcoholic selection!
[11:34] Hayakawa
    I had no idea there was somewhere
    like this so close to the office.
    
[11:37] Akina
    I noticed you almost never drink
    when we have drinking parties,
[11:42] Akina
    so I thought you might enjoy it a bit more.
[11:45] Hayakawa
    Are you trying to be the ideal guy right now?
[11:48] Hayakawa
    What percentage of the office
    has confessed to you before?
[11:51] Akina
    Not that many!
[11:53] Hayakawa
    Didn't deny that he's been approached, though.
[11:58] Hayakawa
    Manager... you never really talk about
    your romantic history, do you?
[12:03] Akina
    No one really asks.
[12:07] Hayakawa
    If I asked...
[12:10] Hayakawa
    If I asked, would you tell me?
[12:14] Akina
    You wanna know?
[12:19] Hayakawa
    I don't mean anything untoward by it!
[12:21] Akina
    Untoward how?
[12:23] Hayakawa
    Is this just him? Is he just a ditz...?
[12:27] Akina
    Romance, huh...?
[12:29] Akina
    When I was younger, I didn't really
    understand how it felt to like someone.
[12:34] Akina
    I tried dating quite a few times
    up through college,
[12:37] Akina
    but in the end, I never really found love.
[12:42] Akina
    I think my life might just be one
    with no romance to speak of.
[12:47] Hayakawa
    Manager...
[12:50] Hayakawa
    Is that why?
[12:52] (Flashback) Akina
    The thing is...
[12:54] (Flashback) Akina
    Nothing makes me happier than
    cheering on someone else's love life.
[13:02] Akina
    I'm more curious about your
    romantic history, Hayakawa-san!
[13:05] Hayakawa
    M-Me...?
[13:06] Akina
    Now that reaction makes me curious!
[13:09] Yutaka
    Oho.
[13:10] Yutaka
    I thought I recognized that voice.
[13:13] Hayakawa
    Yutaka-san!
[13:15] Akina
    Is your office around here?
[13:17] Yutaka
    Indeed. In the opposite direction of
    the station, though, so it's a bit of a walk.
[13:21] Yutaka
    Some coworkers dragged me this way,
    but I've never been one for big groups.
[13:26] Yutaka
    So I slipped out, but then realized...
[13:28] Yutaka
    It's lonely to be on your own!
[13:30] Akina
    So free-spirited!
[13:31] Yutaka
    That being the case,
    would you mind if I joined you?
[13:35] Hayakawa
    Go ahead.
[13:38] Yutaka
    If you'll excuse me...
[13:41] Yutaka
    Gimme pics of Shiorin!
[13:42] Hayakawa
    Come on, what am I getting so anxious about?
[13:43] Akina
    Ask to your brother.
[13:44] Akina
    Besides, I don't have any.
[13:45] Hayakawa
    All she did was sit
    in an empty seat, normally...
[13:46] Yutaka
    Is that right?
[13:48] Akina
    It is.
[13:49] Hayakawa
    Normally...
[13:51] Yutaka
    Chika-chan?
[13:55] Yutaka
    I think I'll sit here instead.
[13:57] Hayakawa
    Just sit across the table
    like a normal person!
[14:00] Yutaka
    Don't wanna.
[14:01] Yutaka
    I could see a wish for me to
    sit here in those eyes.
[14:03] Hayakawa
    Whose?!
[14:04] Yutaka
    Yours.
[14:05] Hayakawa
    Well, you're wrong!
[14:06] Yutaka
    I saw it.
[14:10] Haykawa
    I guess... she didn't want to sit next to me.
[14:14] Yutaka
    Maybe I'll sit here, after all.
[14:16] Hayakawa
    O-Onee-san...
[14:19] Akina
    In that case, I'll just sit over here.
[14:22] Yutaka
    You should sit here, Manager.
[14:24] Akina
    No, no, that's for you, Yutaka-san.
[14:25] Yutaka
    No, no...
[14:26] Haykawa
    What's with these two?
[14:29] Akina
    Hayakawa-san.
[14:30] Yutaka
    Chika-chan.
[14:32] Both
    If I'm interrupting,
    I'll head on home, so let me know.
[14:37] Haykawa
    Both of you sit down over there!
[14:40] Both
    Okay.
[14:41] Hyakawa
    Unbelievable...
[14:42] Yutaka
    You're really pouring it back, Chika-chan!
[14:44] Yutaka
    Are you a big drinker?
[14:46] Hayakawa
    This is nonalcoholic!
[14:47] Yutaka
    I see. Yet, you're still red.
[14:48] Akina
    Oh, my!
[14:48] Hayakawa
    Shut up!
[14:56] Shinozaki
    My body feels heavy for some reason...
[14:59] Shinozaki
    Is this sleep paralysis?
[15:01] Yutaka
    Li'l Bro. Gimme some Shiorin-senpai pics.
[15:05] Shinozaki
    It's just you?! And could you not barge
    into your brother's place on his day off?!
[15:12] Shinozaki
    And... pictures of Senpai?
[15:14] Yutaka
    Correct. Shiorin's fluffiness
    won't leave my mind.
[15:17] Yutaka
    I want to have a picture on hand
    so I can air-fluff her at all times.
[15:21] Shinozaki
    What kind of reason is that?!
[15:22] Shinozaki
    And what are those hand movements?
[15:25] Yutaka
    Air-fluffing.
[15:27] (Flashback) Yutaka
    Yes, quite fluffy indeed.
[15:28] Shinozaki
    Oh, that.
[15:30] Shinozaki
    Anyway, I don't have any pics
    of Senpai in the first place.
[15:34] Yutaka
    Then get some.
[15:35] Shinozaki
    You should ask Hayakawa instead.
SIGN    Gimme Shiorin pics.
SIGN    No way.
    Ask your brother.

[15:38] Yutaka

[15:43] Shinozaki
    Though, you're right...
[15:46] (Flashback) Shiori
    We could... show each other...
[15:49] (Flashback) Shiori
    We could send each other
    pictures of us wearing them!
[15:53] Shinozaki
    We never did end up sending pics
    of us wearing that loungewear...
[15:59] Shinozaki
    And I can't deny I'd like to see that...
[16:02] Yutaka
    Yoink!
[16:04] Yutaka
    Sent!
[16:06] Shinozaki
    What did you just send?!
[16:10] Shiori
    Something from Shinozaki-san?
[16:13] Shiori
    "I miss you on the weekend..."
[16:16] Shiori
    "Could you please send a picture
    so I can see you whenever I want?"
[16:20] Shiori

    come from all of a sudden?!
[16:23] Shiori

    You can ignore it.
SIGN    ...You sure
    you don't want one?
[17:14] Shiori
    I actually sent that...
[17:16] Shiori
    And now if he says he wants a picture,
    I should probably send one.
[17:29] Shiori
    Sending a picture to Shinozaki-san.
[17:33] Shiori
    Huh? All of a sudden...
[17:36] Shiori
    I'm feeling really embarrassed!
[17:39] Shiori
    Sending someone else a selfie like this...
[17:42] Shiori
    Who even does that
    unless you're going out already?!
[17:48] Shiori
    "Senpai, I'm sorry."
[17:50] Shiori
    He's gonna say he wants one!
[17:53] Shiori
    "I'm busy, so I'll be back later!"
[17:57] Shiori
    I'm partly relieved and partly frustrated!
    Why am I so conflicted?!
[18:05] Shinozaki
    You had better apologize
    to Senpai for bothering her.
[18:08] Yutaka
    Consider it done!
[18:12] Shiorin
    From Shinozaki-san's sister?
[18:14] Yutaka

    What do you think you're doing?!
[18:58] Shinozaki
    I never did hear back from Senpai yesterday.
[19:02] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san.
[19:04] Shiori
    Good morning, Shinozaki-san!
[19:07] Shinozaki
    G-G-Good morning.
[19:10] Shinozaki
    Um... I'm sorry about
    how my sister acted yesterday.
[19:13] Shiori
    It's quite all right.
[19:14] Shinozaki
    And... about that picture you mentioned...
[19:19] Shinozaki
    If it's not too much trouble,
    I'd be really glad to receive one!
[19:25] Shinozaki
    I said it! I actually said it!
    There's no turning back now!
[19:36] Shiori
    When I stop and think about it,
[19:37] Shiori
    there's something embarrassing
    about taking a picture of yourself.
[19:41] Shinozaki
    After all this, am I stuck on the
    "I changed my mind" path?!
[19:45] Shiori
    Therefore...
[19:47] Shiori
    why don't we take one together?
[19:52] Shinozaki
    You and I?
[19:54] Shiori
    Right!
[19:55] Shiori
    That way, it won't be a picture of just me,
    but a picture with you in it, too.

    get a little closer to Katase-san!
[20:14] Shinozaki
    I-Is there a reason I need to get closer?!

    There sure is!

    Are you nervous, Shinozaki-san?
[20:21] Shinozaki
    Yeah!
[20:24] Shiori
    To be honest...

[01:13] Shiori
    I just got out of the bath.
[01:16] Shinozaki
    I can't deny that, but...
[01:19] Shinozaki
    If I take time off, too, work might be...
[01:22] Akina
    You should go.
[01:24] Shinozaki
    Manager!
[01:25] Akina
    We're in a slow period at the moment anyway.
[01:27] Akina
    And paid vacation is
    meant to be used, after all.
[01:30] Shiori/Hayakawa
    Thank you so much!
[01:33] Shinozaki
    In that case, why don't you come, too?
[01:36] Akina
    Me?
[01:37] Shinozaki
    It'd be a little awkward being the only guy...
[01:40] Shiori
    That sounds nice! Let's all go together!
[01:42] Shiori
    I bet it'd be more fun with the whole gang.
[01:45] Shiori
    Right, Hayakawa-san?
[01:47] Hayakwa
    Well, I guess.
[01:50] Akina
    All of us, on a trip to the hot springs...

    Can't you be normal about this?!

[03:54] Hayakawa
    Thank you, paid time off!
[03:56] Akina
    I'll go get us checked in.
[03:58] Hayakawa
    Oh, thanks.
[04:00] Shinozaki
    I appreciate you handling
    the reservations and the drive, Manager.
[04:04] Akina
    No sweat. I enjoy that kind of thing.
[04:08] Akina
    Besides, Katase-san
    and I shared driving duties.
[04:10] Shinozaki
    I was kind of surprised
    to find out she can drive.
[04:14] Shinozaki
    Maybe I should get my license this year...
[04:17] Akina
    Sounds good.
[04:18] Akina
    That way, she can

[04:39] Shinozaki
    It was a scream of joy.
[04:41] Akina
    They say you can tell if an inn

[04:44] Shiori
    Nice one, Manager!
[04:46] Shiori
    Come right this way!
[04:48] Shiori
    Welcome!
[04:54] Shinozaki
    What a complete lack of popularity!
[04:56] Akina
    Maybe they're too similar to like her?
[04:59] Shinozaki
    So Senpai's a cat?!
[05:01] Shinozaki
    Come to think if it, I don't think I've
    ever seen her successfully pet a cat...
[05:07] Shinozaki
    What do you think, Hayakawa?
[05:09] Hayakawa
    You talking to meow, Shinozaki?
[05:11] Shinozaki
    A living cat tower?!
[05:12] Shinozaki
    Is her body made out of catnip or something?!
[05:19] Hayakawa
    I heard this place had a hot springs pool...
[05:22] Hayakawa
    But this is pretty huge!
[05:24] Akina
    Pretty nice, right?
    A pool for the middle of winter!
[05:27] Akina
    Let's swim plenty!
[05:29] Shinozaki
    I never imagined getting to see Senpai
    in a swimsuit in the middle of winter.
[05:33] Shinozaki
    Thank you, Manager!
[05:36] Shinozaki
    Senpai's swimsuit... Will it be cute?
[05:43] Shinozaki
    Or maybe classy?
[05:47] Shinozaki
    Or maybe...
[05:49] Hayakawa
    Right over here, Katase-san!
[05:51] Shiori
    Sorry about the wait.
[06:01] Shinozaki
    She went with a mature style?!
[06:04] Shinozaki
    No good! At the end of the day,
    she's my senpai from work!
[06:07] Shinozaki
    Gotta stay calm! Restrain those dirty thoughts!
[06:10] Shinozaki
    Go with a casual compliment...
[06:13] Akina
    You both look wonderful.
[06:15] Shiori
    Thank you.
[06:17] Hayakawa
    Thanks...

[06:19] Shinozaki

[06:41] Shinozaki
    I can't believe we're at the pool and I
    don't get to see Senpai in a bathing suit...
[06:46] Shinozaki
    Maybe I should just ask her to show it to me?
[06:49] Shinozaki
    No, that'd be sexual harassment.
[06:55] Hayakwa
    Come to think of it,
    what's with the inner tube?
[06:58] Akina
    I bought it just now.
[07:00] Hayakawa
    You work fast.
[07:02] Hayakawa
    Okay, Manager, let's head
    to the river pool with that inner tube.
[07:06] Akina
    Sounds good!
[07:07] Shinozaki
    The river pool...?
[07:08] Hayakawa
    Come on, then!
[07:08] Akina
    Sure!

    You all can go on and have fun.
[07:21] Shinozaki
    She must really not want me to look at her...
[07:25] Shiori
    The problem is that I can't swim!
[07:27] Shinozaki
    Th-Then maybe the wave pool...
[07:30] Shiori
    You all can go on ahead.
[07:31] Shinozaki
    The kiddie pool...?
[07:33] Shiori
    Go on.
[07:41] Shinozaki
    Senpai, can you not swim?
[07:48] Shiori
    It's not that I can't.
    It's just that I never have before!
[07:52] Shinozaki
    That would mean that you can't, wouldn't it?
[07:59] Shinozaki
    S-Sorry! I shouldn't make fun.

    I went into the deep end of the pool,
[08:09] Shiori
    lost my footing, and almost drowned...
[08:13] Shiori
    I've had trouble with it ever since.
[08:15] Akina
    Round and around and around—
[08:16] Shiori
    I do think that it looks like fun, but...
[08:17] Hayakawa
    Manager, slow down!
[08:22] Shinozaki
    In that case, do you want to go in together?
[08:26] Shinozaki
    I'm tall enough that I can stand on the bottom,
[08:29] Shinozaki
    and we can watch out for each other.
[08:37] Shiori
    I'll give it a try.
[08:42] Shiori
    This is warmer than I imagined.
[08:45] Shinozaki
    Are you scared?
[08:47] Shiori
    Not at all!
[08:48] Shiori
    I almost feel like I could
    start swimming already!
[08:56] Shiori
    What's wrong, Shinozaki-san?!
[08:59] Shinozaki
    Nothing.
[08:59] Shinozaki
    She's trying so hard!
    Cast out those wicked thoughts, me!
[09:04] Shiori
    Well...
[09:05] Shiori
    Could you teach me how to swim now?
[09:08] Shinozaki
    Is this gonna work?
[09:11] Shinozaki
    For starters,
    try putting your face into the water.
[09:14] Shiori
    Got it! Watch me! Here I go!
[09:20] Shinozaki
    She might actually figure this out quickly—
[09:25] Shinozaki
    Or not!
[09:26] Shiori
    I can normally put my face underwater
    with no problem... What's going on?
[09:31] Shinozaki
    You're probably nervous
    because of the location.
[09:34] Shinozaki
    Maybe if you imagine
    you're in the bath, it'll be easier.
[09:36] Shiori
    The bath, the bath, the bath...
[09:43] Shinozaki
    She's acting like a cat that hates bathing!
[09:46] Shinozaki
    Maybe submerging your face
    is a little too much to start with.
[09:48] Shiori
    Sorry...
[09:50] Shinozaki
    It's okay. Let's start with an inner tube
    and have you practice swimming.
[09:54] Shinozaki
    I'll go buy one.
[09:59] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san?
[10:01] Shinozaki
    Not good! I've got a cramp.
[10:03] Shinozaki
    I got careless because the water's so shallow!
[10:06] Shinozaki
    Someone... help...
[10:14] Shinozaki
    S-Senpai?
[10:18] Shinozaki
    Senpa—
[10:19] Shiori
    Live!
[10:22] Shinozaki

    How are you feeling?
[10:26] Shinozaki
    All good.
[10:32] Shiori
    Thank goodness...
[10:39] Shiori
    I thought you might die.
[10:44] Shinozaki
    No, it's okay! I'm feeling great!
[10:47] Shinozaki
    Don't worry! You can relax!
[10:50] Shiori
    Okay.
[10:51] Shinozaki
    More importantly, Senpai...
[10:54] Shinozaki
    You just swam.
[10:58] Shiori
    Oh, come on! That's not more important!
[11:01] Shinozaki
    S-Sorry...
[11:03] Shinozaki
    Huh... dizzy...
[11:05] Shinozaki
    Had I not caught my breath yet?...
[11:08] Shinozaki
    I-I can't fall...
[11:20] Shinozaki
    Th...
[11:21] Shinozaki
    This is bad!
[11:24] Shinozaki
    Safe!
[11:34] Shinozaki
    L-Let me retie that for you.
[11:40] Shiori
    Yeah...
[11:43] Shinozaki
    There.
[11:44] Akina
    Sneak...
[11:44] Shinozaki
    Nobody saw that, right?
[11:47] Shiori
    Um...
[11:49] Shinozaki
    I'm so sorry! I don't know
    how to make it up to you!
[11:53] Shiori
    Is that all you have to say?
[11:57] Shinozaki
    D-Do you want me to bow?!
    Or maybe a written apology?!
[12:01] Shiori
    Never mind, then.
[12:04] Shiori
    Sulk...
[12:05] Shinozaki
    S-Senpai?!
[12:17] Shiori
    My Tiny Senpai.
[12:23] Shiori
    I took a dip in the baths already.
[12:30] Hayakawa
    Oooh, that hits the spot...
[12:36] Shiori
    I can feel the exhaustion washing away.
[12:40] Hayakawa
    Christmas, the end of the year,
    and then New Year's...
[12:43] Hayakawa
    I think Japan might cram too many
    events into such small a window.
[12:47] Shiori
    Maybe.
[12:49] Shiori
    But I do feel really refreshed after today.
[12:52] Shiori
    Thank you for inviting me, Hayakawa-san.
[12:56] Hayakawa
    No, thanks for coming.
[12:58] Hayakawa
    If it was just me,
[13:00] Hayakawa
    I would've probably just whined about wanting
    to go and never actually done anything.
[13:05] Hayakawa
    And I definitely wouldn't have done
    anything as active as playing in the pool.
[13:11] Shiori
    I guess so. It's been a long time since
    I've worn a swimsuit, too. It was fun.
[13:19] Shiori
    It was fun, but...
[13:22] Shiori
    I feel like I've embarrassed myself a bit, too.
[13:25] Shiori
    I need to regain my honor
    as a senpai before bedtime!
[13:31] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san!
[13:36] Shiori
    Say "ahhh."
[13:38] Shinozaki
    Wh-Wh-Whoa, Senpai!
[13:40] Shinozaki
    Okay, who gave Senpai booze?!
[13:40] Shiori
    Come on, come on, "ahhh!"
[13:44] Akina
    No one at all.
[13:46] Akina
    No one stopped her, either, though.
[13:48] Shinozaki
    Maybe you should have?!
[13:49] Shinozaki
    Don't you remember
    what happened with the chocolates before?!
[13:52] (Flashback) Shiori
    Hayakawa-shan!
[13:53] (Flashback) Shiori
    Smooch!
[13:54] (Flashback) Shiori
    I am so, so grateful!
[13:57] Akina
    I guess that was a thing! Must've forgot.
[14:01] Hayakawa
    I seriously doubt you forgot.
[14:05] Shinozaki
    Oh, man, my drink...
[14:07] Shiori
    Oh, dear!
[14:08] Shiori
    Let me wipe that up.
[14:11] Shinozaki
    I-It's okay! I can handle it!
[14:13] Shiori
    No...
[14:15] Shiori
    Today, until bed...
[14:19] Shiori
    Senpai is gonna take care of everything.
[14:24] Shinozaki
    No, it's s-s-seriously fine!
[14:27] Shiori
    Do you have an upset tummy?
[14:29] Shiori
    I can rub it for you.
[14:32] Shinozaki
    That's okay!
[14:33] Shiori
    Don't be shy now, come on...
[14:37] Shinozaki
    What's going on?!
    What kind of drunken behavior is this?!
[14:39] Shiori
    Does your tummy hurt?
[14:40] Shinozaki
    I'm telling you, it's fine!
[14:40] Hayakawa
    Does Katase-san get
    more intense when she's drunk?
[14:41] Shinozaki
    Please stop! You can't! This is... too much!
[14:44] Akina
    Seems like it.
[14:46] Hayakawa
    Earlier, in the bath...
[14:46] Shinozaki
    I'm really fine!
[14:47] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    I need to regain my honor
    as a senpai before bedtime!
[14:52] Hayakawa
    After what she said...
[14:54] Hayakawa
    Maybe that's why.
[14:55] Shinozaki
    I don't see what she has to
    make up for in the first place.
[14:55] Shiori
    Turn this way!
[14:59] Hayakawa
    She probably just wants to show off a little,
[15:01] Hayakawa
    as your senpai.
[15:05] Shiori
    Okay, Shinozaki-san, let's wipe that mouth!
[15:10] Shinozaki
    I have to admit, this situation...
[15:12] Shinozaki
    It's nice, but it's so awkward!
[15:16] Shinozaki
    Hayakawa! Help!
[15:18] Hayakawa
    Sorry, Shinozaki.
[15:20] Hayakawa
    I'm feeling like another dip in
    the open air bath, since we're here.
[15:24] Akina
    Oh, me, too.
[15:27] Both
    See ya!
[15:28] Shinozaki
    Traitors!
[15:30] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san, say "ahhh" again...
[15:34] Shinozaki
    I'm alone with Senpai
    when she's acting like this?!
[15:37] Shinozaki
    In that case...
[15:40] Shinozaki
    I'll play along to the end
    so she can go to bed satisfied!
[15:44] Shiori
    Tastes good?
[15:46] Shinozaki
    Tastes good...
[15:49] Shiori
    After dinner comes brushing teeth!
[15:54] Shiori
    I can't brush them like this.
[15:57] Shiori
    Right over here.
[15:59] Shinozaki
    O-O-On your lap?!
[16:01] Shiori
    Does it hurt anywhere?
[16:04] Shinozaki
    Nope.
[16:05] Shinozaki
    Come forth, all of my restraint!
[16:08] Shiori
    Once we're done, you'll go
    goosh goosh with your mouth.
[16:11] Shinozaki
    That onomatopoeia sounds kind of dirty!
[16:14] Shiori
    What a nice brushing! Clap clap clap!
[16:19] Shinozaki
    As nice as this is... I can't take much more...
[16:22] Shinozaki
    At this point, I just want to go to bed.
[16:24] Shiori
    Are you sweepy, Shinozaki-san?
[16:26] Shinozaki
    Uh, well...
[16:28] Shiori
    In that case...
[16:30] Shiori
    Senpai will put you to bed.
[16:42] Shinozaki
    I-I can't sleep yet!
[16:43] Shiori
    That's no good. No staying up late!
[16:48] Shiori
    Isn't it time for good boys to go to sleep?
[16:52] Shinozaki
    There is no chance I'm sleeping!
[16:57] Hayakawa
    Huh, that's weird.
[17:00] Hayakawa
    I was sure I brought it with me...
[17:02] Shinozaki
    She forgot something?!
[17:04] Shinozaki
    Oh, crap...
[17:06] Shinozaki
    If they show up now,
    it's gonna be really annoying!
[17:09] Akina
    We'll celebrate with red bean breakfast!
[17:12] Akina
    Hello, Onee-san?
[17:14] Yutaka
    What?! They're getting married?
[17:16] Shinozaki
    I need to avoid that at all costs!
[17:18] Hayakawa
    Shinozaki?
[17:20] Hayakawa
    Weird, the lights are off.
[17:24] Hayakawa
    And they're both gone...
[17:27] Hayakawa
    I wonder if they went out.
[17:29] Akina
    We didn't run into them in the halls, either.
[17:31] Shinozaki
    I hid without thinking!
[17:34] Shinozaki
    But if she forgot something,
    they'll probably leave soon...
[17:36] Akina
    Find it?
[17:38] Hayakawa
    This is so weird...
[17:40] Hayakawa
    I thought I put it in here.
[17:42] Hayakawa
    The baths are separate anyway.
    You can go on without me, Manager.
[17:47] Akina
    I'll wait. You can take your time.
[17:49] Shinozaki
    You can't take your time!
[17:53] Shinozaki
    Crap...
[17:54] Hayakawa
    Did you say something?
[17:55] Akina
    Not me.
[17:57] Hayakawa
    I thought I heard a voice.
[17:58] Akina
    Was it from outside?
[18:00] Hayakawa
    I think it was from in the closet...
[18:02] Shinozaki
    Oh, no, no, no!
[18:12] Shiori
    It's your special Senpai heating pad!
[18:16] Shinozaki
    S-Senpai?!
[18:17] Shiori
    Is it warm?
[18:19] Shinozaki
    Yes, incredibly...
[18:21] Shinozaki
    Wait, heating pad?!
[18:23] Shiori
    That's right. Sneezing and sweating...
[18:26] Shiori
    You definitely need warming up.
[18:29] Hayakawa
    It really is coming from in there...
[18:32] Shinozaki
    Oh, no!
[18:34] Shiori

[19:15] Hayakawa
    Did you hear that?
[19:16] Akina
    Yeah...
[19:18] Akina
    Come to think of it,
    a long time ago, this inn was where—
[19:21] Hayakwa
    Stop it right now!
[19:23] Hayakwa
    We were enjoying this trip together...
[19:27] Hayakwa
    Wait, is the reason
    they're missing because of ghosts?!
[19:33] Akina
    We can't rule that out.
[19:34] Hayakwa
    Wh-Wh-What do we do?!
    Call the police?! An exorcist?!
[19:38] Hayakwa
    W-We need to find them, either way!
[19:39] Akina
    Hayakawa-san, calm down!
[19:42] Shiori
    That voice... Hayakawa-shan?
[19:46] Shiori
    Hayakawa-shan! I'm right here!

[20:06] Hayakawa
    Help!
[20:08] Akina
    Hayakawa-san! Wait up!
[20:12] Shinozaki
    We managed to avoid being found...
[20:17] Shinozaki
    She's asleep.
[20:19] Shinozaki
    I guess that wraps this up... I hope.
[20:24] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san...
[20:26] Shiori
    Are you okay?
[20:30] Shinozaki
    Senpai, you're gonna catch a cold like that.
[20:33] Shinozaki
    Let's get you in a futon.
[20:35] Shhiori
    'Kay...
[20:41] Shinozaki
    She was worried about
    how she came across before...
[20:44] Shinozaki
    But I'm glad I got to see
    a different side of you, Senpai.
[20:52] Shinozaki
    Her hands...
[20:58] Shinozaki
    She won't let go...
[20:59] Shinozaki
    Oh, this is really bad!
[21:04] Hayakawa
    Right this way!
[21:05] Hayakawa
    There's a ghost in this room!
[21:15] Akina
    Hello, Onee-san?
    Prepare some red beans and rice.
[21:18] Yutaka
    I see. A wedding it is.
[21:19] Shinozaki
    Stop!
[21:20] Akina
    Oh, what a glorious day!
[21:21] Shinozaki
    Uh, look, this is actually—
[21:23] Hayakwa
    Where's the ghost? Where'd it go?
[21:23] Shinozaki
    Senpai, could you wake up
    and help me explain? Please...
[21:24] Yutaka
    I better look into venues...
[21:25] Hayakawa
    Wait, what was going on?
[21:26] Akina
    Oh, I actually know someone
    who can help with that.
[21:27] Yutaka
    And I'll be aiding
    with dress selection, of course.

[14:26] Shiori
    Is it really so common?
[14:28] Yamagishi
    Oh, totally! They try to act cool
    in front of their friends...
[14:33] Playboy Shinozaki
    This? It's my chick.
[14:35] Playboy Shinozaki
    Cute? I dunno. Isn't she average?
[14:39] Yamagishi
    Or they try to white knight too hard.
[14:41] Playboy Shinozaki
    Isn't he staring at you too much?
[14:44] Playboy Shinozaki
    Next time he looks,
    I think I'll let him have it.
[14:49] Hayakawa
    Funnily enough, it's the serious,
    down-to-earth types
[14:52] Hayakawa
    who tend to go haywire
    when they get a girlfriend.
[14:54] Yamagishi
    And worst of all are the ones
    who go infantile once they start dating.
[14:58] Shiori
    Infantile?
[14:59] Yamagishi
    I guess they want to be babied?
    They want pats on the head and stuff.
[15:04] Googoo Shinozaki
    Shenpai! Sweepy! Gib headpats!
[15:09] Motherly Shiori
    Oh, if you insist. Good boy.
[15:13] Shiori
    C-Cute...
[15:16] Shiori
    I-I think that might be kind of nice...
[15:19] Shiori
    Isn't it cute?
[15:20] Yamagishi
    Come to think of it, you've always
    had shotacon vibes, Katase-san.
[15:24] Shiori
    I'm a... shota... shota... shota...
[15:29] Shiori
    I'm a... shota...
[15:30] Yamagishi
    What's your type, Hayakawa-san?
[15:34] Hayakawa
    M-Me...?
[15:36] Hayakawa
    Someone who does good work, who's kind,
[15:38] Hayakawa
    has a good head on their shoulders
    and is understanding of my hobbies,
[15:40] Hayakawa
    and always looks out for me...
[15:42] Yamagishi
    You're not gonna find a dreamboat like that
    in reality. Come back down to Earth.
[15:48] Ito
    What a fun topic.
[15:50] Yamagishi
    Ito-san?
[15:52] Ito
    It's true that women can make men change...
[15:55] Ito
    But!
[15:57] Ito
    Men can change women, too.

[16:03] Yoshida
    So this is where you've been, Yuri-tan!
[16:06] Ito
    Masa-tan!
[16:07] Yoshida
    I'm so sorry for leaving you alone like that!
[16:11] Ito
    It's okay! Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
[16:16] Ito
    Isn't that right?!
[16:17] Yoshida
    Yes, it certainly is!

[16:30] Yoshida
    Yuri-tan, I'll never let you go again!
[16:31] Shiori
    Totally, completely... absolutely stupid.
[16:33] Ito
    Masa-tan, hold me tight!
[16:39] Shinozaki
    That display in there
    was a little too spicy for me.
[16:46] Shinozaki
    Is that what would happen?
[16:50] Shinozaki
    Acting like that...
[16:52] Shinozaki
    I'm so sorry I left you alone!

    I'm finally gonna tell Senpai...
[17:27] Shinozaki
    I can't run away! I need to brace myself!
[17:33] Shiori

[17:39] Shinozaki
    Senpai.
[17:40] Shiori
    Let's always be good coworkers, okay?
[17:46] Shiori
    Because I don't want to be totally,
    completely, absolutely stupid.
[17:49] Shiori
    I think having a relationship
    that stays the same is wonderful.
[17:54] Shiori
    Because being totally, completely,
    absolutely stupid would be awful.
[17:59] Shiori
    Sorry, I kind of talked over you there.
[18:03] Shiori
    What did you want to discuss, Shinozaki-san?
[18:09] Shinozaki
    I...
[18:11] Shinozaki
    I was going to say the same thing!
[18:14] Shiori
    That's great!
[18:16] Shiori
    We're on the same wavelength.
[18:19] Shinozaki
    We sure are.
[18:21] Shiori
    I was really worried you were having
    trouble with work or something!
[18:25] Shiori
    Are you going home now?
    Let's head to the station together.
[18:28] Shinozaki
    Yeah, sure.
[18:43] Lyrics
    Bleary-eyed and not fully awake from a dream
[18:47] Lyrics
    I still can't bring myself
    to drink that bitter coffee
[18:52] Lyrics
    So I sneakily toss in
    two pinches of a sweet secret
[18:56] Lyrics
    And let it slowly spread throughout
[19:01] Lyrics
    There's a local bakery
    that's only open sometimes
[19:05] Lyrics
    Where I once had some toast that glittered
[19:11] Lyrics
    What is it that makes it so satisfying?
[19:15] Lyrics
    Almost like magic
[19:19] Lyrics
    I find myself thinking about that kind of thing
[19:24] Lyrics
    How the small things can be the most precious
[19:30] Lyrics
    Deep inside my heart
[19:34] Lyrics
    It's ever so bittersweet
[19:40] Lyrics
    "Just being around you is enough"
[19:44] Lyrics
    Becomes my mantra

    No!

    If you don't wanna do that, then lie on it.
[17:04] Shiori
    Like lie down?! In his lap?!
[17:08] Shiori
    That'd be sexual harassment
    and abuse of authority!

    But I'm a cat right now...
[17:47] Shinozaki
    G-Good girl...

[02:22] Yamagishi
    Why not just throw together something simple?
[02:25] Yamagishi
    Well, I'm headed home. See you around!
[02:31] Kurusu
    Can't just... throw something together.
[02:34] Kurusu
    Need to help the director aim higher...
[02:38] Shinozaki
    Good morning.
[02:42] Shinozaki
    What's wrong, everyone?
[02:44] Shiori
    I should be the one asking you that!
[02:47] Shiori
    The deadline for the competition
    is soon. He might be overdoing it...
[02:51] Shinozaki
    Oh, I'm totally fine!
[02:54] Shinozaki
    Is what I say but...
[02:56] Shinozaki
    I'm freaking out on the inside!
[03:00] Shinozaki
    The pressure of competing directly
    with someone at work for the first time,
[03:03] Shinozaki
    the responsibility of needing
    to keep our manager with us...
[03:06] Shinozaki
    It's so much I could use some rehab,
    but I can't tell Senpai that!
[03:13] Shinozaki
    See...? I'm fine...
    Now, let's get to work...
[03:20] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san.
[03:24] Shiori
    Specially made by your senpai,
    it's the kanji for "person."
[03:26] Shiori
    Please, eat up.
[03:30] Shinozaki
    Wh-Why?
[03:32] Shiori
    You're worried about your proposal for
    the competition being perfect, aren't you?
[03:36] Shiori
    Please don't be afraid to fail.
    It doesn't matter if it goes smoothly.
[03:41] Shiori
    I'd even say this contest is about
    accepting that kind of thing.
[03:44] Shiori
    Just swing as hard as you can!
[03:47] Shinozaki
    And it's just accepted I'll miss?
[03:50] Shinozaki
    Thank you.
[03:51] Shiori
    Yep!
SIGN    Product Development
SIGN    Group 1
[03:52] Takatsukasa
    Magnificent!
[03:54] Takatsukasa
    The concept, the targeting...
    Both are clearly laid out and easy to grasp.
[03:58] Kurusu
    Thank you.
[03:59] Takatsukasa
    All you need now is an image to
    illustrate the complete project
SIGN    The Ultimate Meowtaro
[04:03] Takatsukasa
    and it'll be an even easier sell.
[04:06] Kurusu
    An illustration...
[04:07] Takatsukasa
    Yeah. Even a simple one would be fine.
[04:12] Takatsukasa
    You're almost there.
    Don't worry, Kurusu. You can do this!
[04:18] Kurusu
    Right...
[04:24] Shinozaki
    Senpai helped me calm down some.
[04:27] Shinozaki
    Okay, let's do this...
[04:30] Shinozaki
    Oh, sorry!
[04:45] Shinozaki
    Hey, Senpai...
[04:48] Shinozaki
    You know that girl, Kurusu,
    in Development Group 1?
[04:51] Shiori
    Sure, I do.
[04:53] Shinozaki
    She's taking on the new hire contest like me,
[04:56] Shinozaki
    and I think she's feeling
    just as much pressure.
[05:02] Shinozaki
    If you see her, I'd appreciate it if you
    could try and help her feel better...
[05:08] Shinozaki
    Sorry, I know I shouldn't be
    asking you to do this!
[05:11] Shinozaki
    But I think she'd be too on-guard around me.
[05:14] Shinozaki
    Not to mention, I may be being
    nosy for no good reason.
[05:20] Shiori
    Understood.
[05:21] Shiori
    I'll keep that in mind.
[05:23] Shinozaki
    I appreciate it.
[05:33] Shiori
    Still working?
[05:37] Kurusu
    You're from Development Group 2...
[05:40] Shiori
    I'm Katase Shiori.
[05:42] Shiori
    Do you always stay this late?
[05:46] Kurusu
    That's none of your business.
[05:48] Shiori
    There are some things a third party
    might have a clearer view on, though.
[05:52] Kurusu
    Group 2 is the enemy.
[05:54] Kurusu
    I have nothing to say to you.
[05:56] Shiori
    Do you mind if I sit with you?
[05:58] Kurusu
    Listen to me!
[06:00] Shiori
    That pouch...
[06:02] Shiori
    It was released for Meowtaro's
    20th anniversary, wasn't it?
[06:06] Kurusu
    You recognize it?!
[06:07] Shiori
    I have one, too.
[06:10] Shiori
    There was another one
    that came out with a ribbon...
[06:13] Kurusu
    I have that one, too!
[06:16] Kurusu
    Meowtaro's head was rounder
    back then, with smaller eyes,
[06:20] Kurusu
    and you could tell the art was more
    analog, but that made it cuter...
[06:24] Kurusu
    A-And well...
[06:26] Kurusu
    Even though this is the Meowtaro company...
    I don't get many chances to talk about him...
[06:35] Kurusu
    Please, have a seat.
[06:37] Shiori
    Thank you.
[06:40] Shiori
    If you like Meowtaro that much,
[06:42] Shiori
    you must be really motivated
    for the rookie competition, too.
[06:49] Kurusu
    Katase-san...
[06:52] Kurusu
    Katase-san, is there anything
    you have trouble with at work?
[07:01] Shiori
    A whole lot of things!
[07:03] Shiori
    Laying out diagrams and adjusting text...
[07:11] Kurusu
    Could you look at this?
[07:16] Kurusu
    Does it remind you of any Taro in particular?
[07:18] Shiori
    That's a very leading question!
[07:21] Kurusu
    I'm no good at art...
[07:25] Kurusu
    I've managed to keep that
    a secret the past year.
[07:28] Kurusu
    But I can't anymore...
[07:32] Kurusu
    I don't want to disappoint her.
[07:36] Kurusu
    I've tried so many times...
[07:40] Kurusu
    but I just can't get better.
[07:43] Kurusu
    I want to do a good job, Katase-san!
[07:47] Kurusu
    How can I deliver for her?
[07:50] Kurusu
    What do I do?
[07:54] Shiori
    Maybe you should just...
[07:55] Shiori
    tell her that you can't do it.
[08:00] Kurusu
    But if I do that...
[08:01] Shiori
    Admitting when you can't do
    something is part of your job.
[08:07] Shiori
    Besides...
[08:11] Shiori
    No one's going to ridicule you
    for having tried your best.
[08:19] Kurusu
    Okay... I'll try and tell her.
[08:25] Kurusu
    Director.
[08:27] Kurusu
    I've... updated my proposal.
[08:31] Kurusu
    Please, look...
[08:33] Takatsukasa
    Sure. Knowing you, Kurusu,
    I'm sure it's evolved a fair...

[08:40] Takatsukasa

[08:41] Kurusu
    I'm... so sorry.
[08:44] Kurusu
    I tried, but... it was...
    the best I could do...
[08:50] Kurusu
    You said I would be able
    to do it... but I failed!
[09:01] Takatsukasa
    No, you didn't...
[09:03] Takatsukasa
    You didn't fail, Kurusu.
[09:05] Takatsukasa
    I should be the one to apologize.
[09:07] Takatsukasa
    I thought I was encouraging you,
    but I was just pouring on more pressure.
[09:12] Takatsukasa
    Please, forgive me, Kurusu.
[09:14] Kurusu
    Director...
[09:17] Takatsukasa
    Hanaoka-san, could you help
    with Kurusu's proposal?
[09:21] Hanaoka
    Sure.
[09:22] Kurusu
    Sorry about this...
[09:23] Hanaoka
    It's no problem at all.
[09:25] Takatsukasa
    There's a couple of days left
    before the deadline!
[09:28] Takatsukasa
    We're going to support Kurusu
    as much as we can in that time!
[09:31] Dev Group 1
    Yeah!
[09:33] Shiori
    Development Group 1 is really motivated.
[09:37] Shinozaki
    Yeah.
[09:41] Shinozaki
    What a relief...
[09:46] Shiori
    He's under a lot of pressure himself, but he's
    still nice enough to worry about others...
[09:55] Shinozaki
    Did I do something funny?
[09:58] Shiori
    Not at all. I'm just impressed
    with you, Shinozaki-san.
[10:02] Shinozaki
    Wh-What for, Senpai?
[10:06] Shiori+Kurusu
    March on, Meowtaro!
[10:08] Shiori
    Meow, meow, meow!

    Meow, meow, meow!

    My Tiny Meowtaro.
[10:16] Yamagishi
    You sure that's the title?
[10:18] Shiori
    It's finally the day of the competition.
[10:21] Shiori
    Everything ready, Shinozaki-san?
[10:23] Shinozaki
    Yep! All set.
[10:26] Shiori
    You're absolutely sure you're ready?
[10:28] Shinozakui
    I am really sure that I'm all set!
[10:32] Shiori
    I have to say...
[10:34] Shiori
    I didn't expect you to make
    a Meowtaro costume...
[10:37] Shiori
    Are you a goddess, Hayakawa-san?!
[10:39] Hayakawa
    Not really, no.
[10:40] Hayakawa
    Compared to my usual, cosplay it was
    pretty simple, so it's not like...
[10:43] Shiori
    Your usual what?
[10:45] Hayakwa
    Uh, er, nothing! Never mind!
[10:49] Manager
    Oh, my.
[10:50] Shinozaki
    Thank you for all your help, Senpai.
[10:54] Shiori
    It's all right.
[10:56] Shinozaki
    Senpai, is it just me, or are you
    more nervous than I am?
[11:00] Shinozaki
    My direct subordinate is entering his
    biggest moment of the entire year!
[11:03] Shiori
    Of course I am!
[11:07] Shinozaki
    I am so full of butterflies right now...
[11:09] Shinozaki
    Senpai, calm down. It'll be okay.
[11:09] Shiori
    Is there anything else I can do?
[11:14] Shinozaki
    Kurusu-san.
[11:17] Kurusu
    During the presentations... I go on before you.
[11:22] SFX Sign
    Hrmmm
[11:22] Shinozaki
    It kind of ended up feeling like
    a showdown, didn't it?
[11:26] Shinozaki
    Let's both do our best.
[11:28] Kurusu
    Um...
[11:31] Kurusu
    Thank you.
[11:34] Kurusu
    Katase-san mentioned...
    you were worried about me.
[11:41] Kurusu
    I'm... grateful.
[11:46] Shinozaki
    Sure.
[11:48] Kurusu
    But...
[11:50] Kurusu
    We're going to win.
    Win, and take your manager.
[11:55] Shinozaki
    I don't intend on losing, either.
[11:58] Shinozaki
    We're going to win, and keep our manager!
[12:04] Kurusu
    Looking forward to your presentation.
[12:08] Shinozaki
    Okay! Let's do this!

    or keeping the manager...

    So I'm the only one who didn't?!
[12:44] Shiori
    Maybe we can still negotiate...

    But she's probably already into her proposal...

    What do we do?!

    But I've been under your guidance
    for a whole year now.

    I know I won't lose.

    Gosh... if you put it like that...

    What if they had that kind of friend?

    I see...
[14:47] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    I was hoping to ask you all about
    what you heard about from the kids.

    There was one who liked skateboarding.
[14:55] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    I remember one who was good with magic tricks.
[14:57] (Flashback) Shinozaki
    Nice!

    This friend could recommend
    those kinds of things,

    Look at him go on that skateboard.

    Things are working out
    just like Shinozaki-san planned.
[15:15] Female Employee 1
    Is that Shinozaki-kun inside the suit?
[15:18] Female Employee 2
    Oh, no! I think I might fall for him!
[15:21] Shiori
    It's working out as planned,
    but maybe he's overdoing it.
[15:27] Shiori
    Besides, Meowtaro is Meowtaro. There's not
    supposed to be anyone "in the suit."

    Wow!

    Cute!
[15:39] Female employees (general)
    That was amazing!

    You're amazing, Meowtaro.

    Aren't they all getting a little
    touchy with that costume?
[15:42] Female employees (general)
    So cute!

    You're grown adults. You should realize
    there's someone inside that suit!

    Good work.

    Your presentation was amazing!

    I'm sure you'll win

    It looks like Hayakawa-san
    went back to her seat already.

    And, well... I know you might be
    feeling tired right now, but...

    I was hoping I could ask for something.

    Can I give you a big hug, too?
[16:37] Shiori
    I-It's just that everyone else was doing it,

[20:02] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san, you did a great job!
[20:06] Manager
    There's a big wrap party to celebrate, too.
[20:08] Ishiyama
    It'll be my victory party!
[20:10] Yamagishi; shinozaki; Kurusu
    No, it won't be.
[20:11] Ishiyama
    Right?!
[20:26] Lyrics
    Bleary-eyed and not fully awake from a dream
[20:30] Lyrics
    I still can't bring myself
    to drink that bitter coffee
[20:35] Lyrics
    So I sneakily toss in
    two pinches of a sweet secret
[20:39] Lyrics
    And let it slowly spread throughout
[20:45] Lyrics
    There's a local bakery
    that's only open sometimes
[20:48] Lyrics
    Where I once had some toast that glittered
[20:54] Lyrics
    What is it that makes it so satisfying?
[20:58] Lyrics
    Almost like magic
[21:02] Lyrics
    I find myself thinking about that kind of thing
[21:07] Lyrics
    How the small things can be the most precious
[21:13] Lyrics
    Deep inside my heart
[21:17] Lyrics
    It's ever so bittersweet
[21:23] Lyrics
    "Just being around you is enough"
[21:27] Lyrics
    Becomes my mantra
[21:31] Lyrics
    Baby like sugar
[21:40] Lyrics
    Baby you're the sugar
[21:45] Yamagishi(M)
    Work drags so much in the afternoon...

    Uh-huh, uh-huh.
[21:49] Kurusu
    Just the excellence one.
[21:51] Kurusu
    It ain't like that at all!
[21:59] Kurusu
    Holler at you later!
[22:02] Kurusu
    Forget... what you heard.
[22:04] Yamagishi(M)
    Not gonna happen that fast.
[22:07] Yamagishi(M)
    Don't try the physical approach.
[22:09] Yamagishi(M)
    What's the big deal anyway?
[22:11] Kurusu
    It's... embarrassing.
[22:14] Yamagishi(M)
    I don't see how.
[22:17] Yamagishi(M)
    We don't have any sort of obvious accent
    where I'm from, so I'm kinda jealous.
[22:24] Kurusu
    Jealous...?
[22:26] Yamagishi(M)
    Yeah, it's kinda cool.
[22:30] Yamagishi(M)
    Man, lunch is gonna end
    if we don't wrap up here.
[22:33] Kurusu
    H-Hey...
[22:37] Kurusu
    Thank you kindly.
[22:42] Yamagishi(M)
    Thank me whatly?

    something naughty with your senpai?

    There's a senpai where I work...

[00:38] Shiori
    I know it's bad for you,
    but I can't resist the sweet siren call...
[00:44] Shiori
    of ramen!
[00:44] Shinozaki
    That's what she meant?!
[00:46] Shiori
    What's wrong? Aren't you going to eat?
[00:49] Shinozaki
    It's just... I didn't expect ramen.
[00:53] Shiori
    What did you expect, then?
[00:56] Shinozaki
    Is she doing this on purpose,
    or accidentally?!

    You worked really hard on your contest entry.
[01:09] Shiori
    It's not much, but I wanted to
    reward you, as your senpai.
[01:13] Shinozaki
    Senpai...
[01:15] Shinozaki
    She's nice and always looking out for me.
[01:20] Shinozaki
    And that makes me so happy, but...
[01:24] Shinozaki
    Are we always just going to be
    senpai and kohai?
[01:30] Couple Man
    Man, I am starving!
[01:32] Couple Girl
    Y'know what they say about ramen?
[01:32] Shinozaki
    Um...
[01:34] Couple Girl
    If someone craves ramen late at night,
    they've got a strong libido.
[01:38] Couple Man
    What the heck? Like they're not satisfied?
[01:41] Couple Girl
    Yep, exactly.
[01:45] Shiori
    I was really just looking
    for some refreshing tea!
[01:49] Shinozaki
    R-Right! Tea! I get it!

    Even if he's anthropomorphized,
    Meowtaro's a cat.
[05:45] Shinozaki

    That wasn't the reaction
    I was expecting.
[05:59] Yamagishi(F)
    Meowtaro is the heir to a major corporation.
[06:01] Yamagishi(F)
    He eats fish every day, so he's tired of it!

[06:46] Yamagishi(F)
    It'll let us develop
    the latent otome game market!
[06:50] Kurusu
    Meowtaro...? Hot...? Anthropomorphic...?
[06:53] Kurusu
    My Meowtaro... what in the world...?
[06:56] Kurusu
    This isn't development. It's pandering.
[06:59] Kurusu
    It doesn't convey a fraction of
    Meowtaro's actual appeal.
[07:03] Kurusu
    It's more likely to chase off
    existing fans than develop new ones.
[07:07] Kurusu
    It's idiocy.
[07:08] Yamagishi(F)
    Do you really think we can
    open up new opportunities
[07:12] Yamagishi(F)
    by being so beholden to old fans
    that we never try anything new?
[07:14] Kurusu
    It's a question of methodology.

    This would honestly be better off
    as a completely distinct project...

[07:29] Shinozaki
    I'm not sure. It feels a little too soon
    for things to be ending...
[07:32] Yamagishi(M)
    But it's a private meeting on the rooftop!

    Let's always be good coworkers, okay?
[07:56] Both
    It's kinda similar!
[07:58] Yamagishi(M)
    Aw, man, we got rejected before the confession.
[08:03] Shinozaki
    Rejected...
[08:05] Shiori
    Before confessing...
[08:07] Shinozaki
    Rejected?
[08:10] Shiori
    Before confessing...?
[08:12] Shiori
    I rejected him?!
    That's not what I was trying to do...!
[08:15] Shiori
    Is that what Shinozaki-san felt at the time?!
[08:19] Shinozaki
    I really was rejected?!
    That's what really happened?!
[08:22] Shinozaki
    And after I had tried to forget all about it!
[08:28] Yamagishi(M)
    What's with you two?
[08:31] Yamagishi(F)
    Hold it right there. It's too soon to give up.
[08:35] Yamagishi(F)
    I know you two must have realized it.
[08:38] Yamagishi(F)
    There's still a while before the ending,
    and you haven't confessed yet...
[08:42] Yamagishi(F)
    So you can still seal the deal yet!
    Your chance is still out there...
[08:46] Yamagishi(F)
    Or do you mean to tell me...
[08:48] Yamagishi(F)
    that you two don't love Meowtaro that much?!
[08:52] Yamagishi(M)
    I mean, we don't.
[08:54] Shinozaki
    Hadn't confessed yet...
[08:56] Shiori
    There's still a chance...
[08:59] Shinozaki
    I hadn't confessed yet!
[09:01] Shiori
    There's still a chance!
[09:04] Shinozaki
    That's right! We haven't been rejected yet!
[09:07] Shiori
    I agree!
[09:09] Yamagishi(M)
    Is there a reason you guys are so into this?
[09:12] Kurusu
    It's not even the real Meowtaro.
[09:15] Shiori
    That video game was fun.
[09:18] Shinozaki
    It sure was.
[09:19] Shiori
    I liked how they ended up
    together in the end.
[09:22] Shinozaki
    Yeah.
[09:26] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san.
[09:28] Shiori
    What was it that you wanted to tell me before?
[09:41] Shinozaki
    I was wondering if we'd always
    just be a senpai and a kohai.
[09:56] Shiori
    I remember saying that we should always
    just be good coworkers before.
[10:05] Shiori
    But now...
[10:10] Shiori
    Maybe now, it'd be okay if things changed.
[10:16] Shiori
    Like, for instance...
[10:20] Shiori
    We... We...
[10:23] Shiori
    We could be... friends.
[10:31] Shiori
    I mean, we already get along well, but—
[10:33] Shinozaki
    Does that mean...
[10:36] Shinozaki
    Does that mean you wouldn't mind if we spent
    more time together in our personal lives?
[10:43] Shiori
    Yes.
[10:45] Shinozaki
    I can invite you out shopping?
[10:47] Shiori
    Sure!
[10:48] Shinozaki
    And for lunch on days off?
[10:50] Shiori
    If anything, I'd think that's
    a natural thing for friends to do!
[10:53] Shiori
    A-And if I send you a text asking
    "Are you busy?" for no reason...
[10:57] Shinozaki
    We're friends, so it's not a problem!
[11:00] Shiori
    We could send pictures of us wearing
    new clothes we've bought!
[11:03] Shinozaki
    That sounds like the kind of thing
    friends should do together!
[11:09] Both
    Because we're friends!
[11:18] Shinozaki
    We're friends!
[11:19] Shiori
    Yes, we are!
[11:20] Manager
    And so they've obtained the new

[12:29] Shinozaki
    I want to take her out for dinner or something

    Shinozaki-san.
[15:03] Shinozaki
    Here's to looking at you, Senpai.
[15:08] Yamagishi(F)
    We sit on the bed and talk about the day...
[15:12] Shinozaki
    On the bed...
[15:15] Shinozaki
    Senpai...
[15:17] Shiori
    This was a lot of fun, huh?
[15:21] Yamagishi(F)
    And then we wrap it up by enjoying
    the room's open air bath!
[15:27] Both
    T-Together...
[15:31] Both
    in a bath?!
[15:33] Yamagishi(F)
    And then in the morning...
[15:35] Both
    Yamagishi-san!
[15:37] Shiori
    Tthat seems a little unsavory,
    even for friends!
[15:40] Shinozaki
    That's right! I-I mean, bathing together...
[15:43] Yamagishi(F)
    Seems pretty normal to me.
[15:45] Shinozaki
    I just think it's a little too soon for that!
[15:47] Shiori
    Maybe after the relationship's matured some!
[15:50] Yamagishi(F)
    You think?
[15:51] Both
    We do!
[15:53] Yamagishi(F)
    Oh, wait, are you two...
[15:55] Yamagishi(F)
    embarrassed about bathing around others?
[16:04] Shiori
    I wouldn't say that...
[16:07] Shinozaki
    I'd be kind of glad to, actually...
SIGN    These two are actually lewd
[16:11] Yamagishi(F)
    I mean, I've known her since high school, so...
[16:14] Hayakawa
    A friend from your school days, huh?
[16:16] Hayakawa
    That sounds like a lot of fun.
[16:19] Shiori
    The hotel took me by surprise, but...
[16:21] Shiori
    an amusement park... That really sounds nice.
[16:25] Shinozai
    It might be too soon for a hotel, but...
[16:28] Shinozai
    an amusement park? Nice idea.
[16:31] Shiori
    Talking about it has made me want to go.
[16:34] Shinozaki
    Me, too!
[16:35] Shinozaki
    In that case...
[16:36] Kurusu
    No.
[16:38] Kurusu
    Theme parks are the domain
    of other characters...
[16:42] Kurusu
    Money earned from Meowtaro...
    can't be spent on others... ever.
[16:48] Hayakawa
    Do you not like amusement parks, Kurusu-san?
[16:50] Kurusu
    It's not that.
SIGN    Meowtaro Land Project Outline
[16:53] Kurusu
    I wanna make Meowtaro Land.
[16:55] Hayakawa
    So if anything, you love them.
[16:56] Yamagishi(M)
    In that case, shouldn't you
[16:58] Yamagishi(M)
    check other places out
    as a way of gathering intel?
[17:02] Hayakawa
    Instead of trying to make
    something from scratch,
[17:04] Hayakawa
    it'd be a good idea to use
    a successful model as reference.
[17:07] Hayakawa
    It'll help you come up
    with unique ideas, too.
[17:10] Kurusu
    That's a fair point.
[17:12] Hayakawa
    In that case, since it's come up,
    why don't we all go during Golden Week?
[17:16] Shiori
    All of us...
[17:18] Shiori
    That sounds good.
[17:20] Shiori
    Let's all go together!
[17:22] Yamagishi(F)
    Okay, then! If we're all going, I wanna go, too!
[17:25] Hayakawa
    So, when should we do it?
[17:27] Yamagishi(F)
    Let's see...

[17:32] Hayakawa
    I guess our schedules don't match up...
[17:34] Yamagishi(M)
    Guess we won't be able
    to all go during Golden Week.
[17:39] Kurusu
    Well, what about during summer vacation, then?
[17:43] Hayakawa
    Since there's more time until then,
[17:45] Hayakawa
    it should be easier
    to make our schedules match.
[17:48] Yamagishi(F)
    It's on hold, then.
[17:54] Shiori
    I wanted to go to that amusement park...
[17:58] Shinozaki
    Senpai!
[18:01] Shiori
    Shinozaki-san...
[18:04] Shinozaki
    U-Um, I know the scheduling
    didn't work out for everyone, but...
[18:12] Shinozaki
    Would you... well...
[18:17] Shinozaki
    as friends... we could...
[18:23] Shinozaki
    What Yamagishi-san was talking about
    sounded nice! So... maybe...
[18:29] Shiori
    The amusement park.
[18:33] Shiori
    Let's go to the amusement park together.
[18:46] Shinozaki
    Yeah!
[18:48] Kurusu
    You said you were always free.
[18:52] Kurusu
    But then you had a day
    where you couldn't... Why?
[18:54] Yamagishi(M)
    Well, let's just chalk it up
    to doing the bro thing.

    Or the casual one...
[19:32] Shinozaki
    Which should I go with?
[19:34] Yutaka
    You got a date?
[19:35] Shinozaki
    Don't just show up like that!
[19:38] Yutaka
    You always spend Golden Week every year
    back at home, but this year you didn't.
[19:44] Yutaka
    So I came to check on you.
[19:47] Yutaka
    I see... a date with Shiorin, then.
[19:50] Shinozaki
    It's not a date! We're just going to
    the amusement park together!
[19:54] Yutaka
    Sounds like... a date.
[19:57] Shinozaki
    Well, it's not!
[19:58] Shinozaki
    I haven't confessed to her
    or started going out!
[20:01] Shinozaki
    We're really just going as friends!
[20:04] Yutaka
    Then, you think...
[20:06] Yutaka
    going to an amusement park
    is something that friends do?
[20:08] Shinozaki
    Y-Yeah.

    I got here faster than I expected.
[20:26] Shinozaki
    Maybe I should find a café...
[20:31] Shiori
    I guess we were on the same train.
[20:34] Shinozaki
    Cute!
[20:35] Shinozaki
    I woke up a bit early.
[20:38] Shiori
    M-Me, too.
[20:41] Shinozaki
    You seem different from usual.
[20:44] Shinozaki
    Your hair's up, and you're wearing pants.
[20:49] Shiori
    Well, it's an amusement park...
[20:51] Shiori
    I figured we'd be walking a lot...
[20:54] Shiori
    I've got sneakers on, too.
[20:57] Shinozaki
    So do I.
[20:59] Shinozaki
    We'll probably be walking more than
    some hiking trips, honestly.
[21:05] Shiori
    Yeah!
[21:08] Shinozaki
    We're a little early, but let's get in line.
[21:11] Shiori
    Let's!
[21:25] Shinozaki
    There's a senpai where I work...
[21:27] Shinozaki
    who is tiny and cute.
[21:36] Shinozaki
    I guess we should head home.
[21:38] Shiori
    I guess so.
[21:41] Shiori
    But first...
[21:44] Shiori
    How about it?
    Something to remember the occasion.
[21:48] Shiori
    I-It's been a while since I've been
    to an amusement park with a friend!
[21:51] Shiori
    Do you not want to?
[21:53] Shinozaki
    I didn't say that!
[21:54] Manager
    Want me to take it for you?
[21:56] Shiori
    Thank you so—

    Manager?!
[21:58] Shinozaki
    Along with my sister and Hayakawa?!
    Why are you here?!
[22:02] Yutaka
    Li'l bro, you said as much yourself.
[22:05] Yutaka
    Amusement parks are for visiting with your friends.
[22:08] Yutaka
    And thus...
[22:10] (Flashback) Yutaka
    Chihiro, let's go to the amusement park!
[22:13] (Flashback) Manager
    Let's invite Hayakawa-san, too, then.
[22:15] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    Huh? The amusement park?
[22:17] Yutaka
    And so, the three of us had a great time.
[22:19] (Flashback) Hayakawa
    Why am I here...?
[22:21] Shinozaki
    I... see.

    Okay, now get closer together!

[22:33] Manager
    Hayakawa-san, did you enjoy yourself?
[22:35] Hayakawa
    Well... I guess I did.
[22:37] Shinozaki
    Things got kind of busy
    at the end there, but...
[22:38] Manager
    Thinking of coming again?
[22:40] Hayakawa
    I guess I am.
