That ought to do it.
**[00:44] Shiori**
Very good, Shinozaki-san!
**[00:46] Shinozaki**
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!

Good morning.

It's just, well...
I saw a cat go into those bushes.

That's what you were doing?!
**[03:33] Shiori**
It was the cutest thing you ever saw!
**[03:36] Shiori**
A tiny brown kitty, about this big...
**[03:39] Shiori**
Really fluffy and soft!
**[03:44] Shinozaki**
I already know you are, though.
**[03:46] Shiori**
I was talking about the cat.
**[03:48] Shinozaki**
Right! Of course! The cat!
**[03:52] Shiori**
Oh, look at the time!

Akina Chihiro
(5th year of Employment)
**[04:09] Shiori**
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...
**[06:50] Shinozaki**
"I'm Shinozaki Takuma
with Dev Group 2's Team A."
**[06:53] Shinozaki**
"My proposal involves the upcoming anniversary
**[06:56] Shinozaki**
of our company's main mascot
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
in a new demographic.
***SIGN*** Meowtaro Collabo

**[07:26] (Flashback) Shiori**
Er, uh, pardon me...!
**[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.
**[08:52] Shinozaki**
I'll be looking forward to another
tomorrow, before my presentation.
**[08:55] Shiori**
Not a problem! I'll be there.

Yeah, once. The first time.

Are you two going out?
**[09:37] Shinozaki/Hayakawa**
What?!
**[09:38] Yamagishi**
It's just, Shinozaki-kun seems
weirdly frank with you, Hayakawa-san.
**[09:42] Shinozaki**
Th-That's not it! Hayakawa...san
here is just a childhood friend!
**[09:46] Hayakwa**
Yeah, exactly!
We just grew up near each other!
**[09:51] Shinozaki**
*Dating her? Is that really how it looks?*

Shinozaki-san.
**[09:56] Shiori**
Do you and Hayakawa-san get along?
**[09:59] Shinozaki**
*You, too, Senpai?!*
**[10:01] Shinozaki**
I-It's less that and more...
**[10:04] Shinozaki**
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.
**[10:13] Shinozaki**
It's kinda like we're cursed.
**[10:17] Shiori**
You seemed to be pretty friendly, though.
**[10:20] Shinozaki**
*Wait, what? Is she jealous?*
**[10:23] Shinozaki**
*No, come on, Senpai would never...*
**[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?*
**[10:53] Shiori**
Shinozaki-san.
**[10:56] Shiori**
I...
**[11:02] Shiori**
I... well...
**[11:09] Shiori**
I want to be friends with Hayakawa-san, too.
**[11:16] Shiori**
I've always thought she seems rather neat,
**[11:20] Shiori**
but we've never really had
a chance to connect outside of work.
**[11:23] Shiori**
If you wouldn't mind,
could you maybe introduce me...?
**[11:25] Shinozaki**
*That's what she meant?!*
**[11:27] Shiori**
What's wrong?
**[11:30] Shinozaki**
*Just regretting my arrogance, that's all.*

You never seem to get mad at people, Senpai.
**[12:37] Shiori**
You think so?
**[12:38] Shinozaki**
I mean, just now...
**[12:42] Shiori**
If someone's already upset
about their mistakes,
**[12:44] Shiori**
I'm not going to make it worse for them.
**[12:47] Shiori**
Besides, you can scold someone
without getting mad at them.
**[12:52] Shiori**
More importantly, Shinozaki-san!
**[12:54] Shinozaki**
Yes?!
**[12:54] Shiori**
You haven't been reporting in enough lately!
**[12:58] Shinozaki**
*I haven't?!*
**[12:59] Shinozaki**
*Did I... screw up with work somehow?*
**[13:03] Shinozaki**
*And wait...*
**[13:04] Shinozaki**
*Am I getting scolded right now?*
**[13:07] Shinozaki**
Uh, well... I...
**[13:11] Shiori**
When you work hard,
I expect you to tell me about it.
**[13:16] Shinozaki**
J-Just when I work hard?
**[13:19] Shiori**
Exactly!
**[13:20] Shiori**
I don't want to miss your efforts,
especially when you put your heart into them.
**[13:27] Shinozaki**
* If this is supposed to be discipline,*
* then sign me up!*
**[13:32] Shiori**
It's a senpai's duty...
**[13:37] Shiori**
to praise a job well done.
**[13:46] Shinozaki**
Okay, next time I work hard on something...
**[13:50] Shiori**
I'll try to make sure and notice, too.
**[13:53] Shinozaki**
I appreciate that.
**[13:58] Shiori**
Come on, we're back
to the office and back to work!
**[14:03] Shinozaki**
Right! Wait up, Senpai!
**[14:13] Shinozaki**
* It's getting late,*
* but I wanna keep going a bit longer...*
**[14:16] Shinozaki**
*Let's finish this up, at least.*
**[14:24] Shiori**
I bought two by mistake.
You're welcome to one.
**[14:28] Shinozaki**
Thanks so much!
**[14:30] Shinozaki**
Oh, I should pay you...
**[14:32] Shiori**
No, it's fine. Don't worry.
**[14:35] Shiori**
I'm forcing something off onto my subordinate.
**[14:38] Shiori**
Think of it as an abuse of authority!
**[14:41] Shinozaki**
*Best abuse of authority ever!*
**[14:44] Shiori**
Are you still not finished for today?
**[14:47] Shinozaki**
Well, I was just trying to
get to a good place to stop...
**[14:52] Shiori**
I'll help you out!
**[14:54] Shinozaki**
But I couldn't ask you to
trouble yourself, Senpai...
**[14:58] Shiori**
It's a senpai's duty to help a kohai in need!
**[15:01] Shiori**
Besides,
**[15:02] Shiori**
once we're done, I'm going to abuse
my authority and treat you to dinner!
**[15:05] Shinozaki**
* They made a sequel to*
* 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.
**[15:21] Shinozaki**
I'll pay for dinner!
**[15:23] Shiori**
No, not happening. I'm paying.
**[15:26] Shinozaki**
No, me!
**[15:27] Shiori**
It'll be me.
**[15:28] Shinozaki**
Me!
**[15:29] Shiori**
Me!
**[15:31] Shiori**
It's still a bit cold at night.
**[15:34] Shiori**
Come on, let's hurry to the restaurant.
**[15:39] Shiori**
Sh-Shinozaki-san?!
**[15:41] Shinozaki**
Please, just wear it.
**[15:42] Shiori**
B-But...
**[15:44] Shinozaki**
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...
**[16:48] Shiori**
W-We're almost at the restaurant, so...
**[16:51] Shiori**
And besides,
**[16:53] Shiori**
we're close to the office...
What if someone saw?
**[16:58] Shinozaki**
Good point.
**[17:00] Shinozaki**
I'm sorry. I should have considered that.
**[17:03] Shiori**
No, no, I appreciate you letting me wear it!
**[17:07] Shiori**
Come on, let's head in.
**[17:09] Shiori**
I'm feeling hungry!

**[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?
**[19:17] Shinozaki**
Right!
**[19:18] Server**
Here you are.
**[19:21] Server**
Saikyo-yaki cooked mackerel,
and a miso-glazed beef tongue stew.
**[19:26] Server**
Please, enjoy.
**[19:28] Shiori**
Come on, let's eat.
**[19:30] Shiori**
We'll have a nutritious meal,
**[19:33] Shiori**
and then give it our best at work tomorrow!
**[19:36] Shinozaki**
Right!
**[19:38] Shiori**
Time to eat!
**[19:41] Shiori**
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!
**[21:28] Shiori**
Let's give it our best today, Meowzaki!

**[01:12] Shiori**
Which is it? Bears or bunnies?
**[01:17] Shinozaki**
Bears or bunnies...?
**[01:19] Shiori**
Right. Which is it?
**[01:21] Shinozaki**
I-If I had to choose, bears, I think...
**[01:24] Shiori**
Understood.

Here!

What is this?
**[01:30] Shiori**
A little pick-me-up.
**[01:32] Shiori**
People tend to get peckish
and run-down around this time.
**[01:36] Shiori**
Someone from general affairs gave me these,

and I'm going to share them
with everyone else later on...

Good morning.
**[03:37] Shiori**
I guess I'm first in today.
**[03:44] Shiori**
Aw...
**[03:48] Shinozaki**
Good morning.
**[03:53] Shinozaki**
Senpai never leaves her stuff
on her desk like that.
**[03:58] Shiori**
G-Good morning...
**[04:02] Shinozaki**
S-S-S-Senpai?!
**[04:04] Shiori**
Yes.
**[04:05] Shinozaki**
What are you doing?!
**[04:07] Shiori**
I... just...
**[04:09] Shiori**
dropped this pen...
**[04:11] Shinozaki**
L-Let me get out of your way!
**[04:13] Shiori**
I'd appreciate that.
**[04:16] Shinozaki**
Senpa—
**[04:27] Shinozaki**
*Senpai's breasts!*
**[04:30] Shinozaki**
Sorry! I'm so sorry! Let me move right now!
**[04:32] Shiori**
You don't have to panic! It's okay!
**[04:40] Akina**
What a lovely morning you two are having.
**[04:43] Shinozaki**
I-It's not what you think!
It's just a coincidence!
**[04:48] Shinozaki**
You, too, Hayakawa?!
**[04:50] Hayakawa**
I think that dirty thoughts are bad.
**[04:53] Shinozaki**
Seriously, it's just a coincidence!
**[05:01] Shinozaki**
Senpai, were the documents I submitted okay?
**[05:06] Shiori**
Give me a second and I can check.
**[05:14] Shiori**
What the—?!
**[05:15] Shinozaki**
Did I mess up?
**[05:17] Shiori**
These documents...
**[05:22] Shiori**
You did a really good job!
**[05:26] Shiori**
Good boy!
**[05:27] Shinozaki**
U-Um, Senpai...?
**[05:30] Shiori**
Very, very good.
**[05:33] Shiinozaki**
Senpai...
**[05:34] Akina**
*My subordinates at work get along very well.*
**[05:35] Shiori**
You worked hard, huh?
**[05:36] Akina**
*Honestly...*
**[05:38] Shinozaki**
It's not that big a deal...
**[05:38] Akina**
* Would an ordinary pair of*
* coworkers get along like that?*
**[05:40] Shiori**
I never want to miss
a chance to offer praise!
**[05:43] Akina**
*It feels a little more significant.*
**[05:45] Akina**
*More than coworkers, it's like they're...*
**[05:52] Shinozaki**
Scouting a location for a drinking party?
**[05:54] Akina**
Right. I was supposed to go,
but something came up kind of abruptly.
**[05:59] Shinozaki**
Sure, I can do that.
**[06:02] Akiba**
What a relief. Please do.
**[06:05] Akiba**
And since the more opinions, the better,
why don't you join him, Katase-san?
**[06:09] Shiori**
Yay, I'd love to!
**[06:16] Shinozaki**
I wonder what kind of place it is.
**[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!
**[06:26] Shinozaki**
Since our manager chose it,
I bet it's pretty fancy.
**[06:32] Shiori**
I know what you mean.
The night view is bound to be pretty.
**[06:33] Akina**
*Good, smooth sailing so far...*
**[06:36] Akina**
* Now they just need to keep it up*
* after they get in the restaurant.*
**[06:39] Shiori**
I think I might be a little drunk...
**[06:43] Shinozaki**
S-Senpai...
**[06:48] Shinozaki**
I'm not letting you go home tonight.
**[06:51] Shiori**
I wouldn't want to.
**[06:56] Shiori**
Shinozaki-san, I...
**[06:59] Shinozaki**
Senpai... I...
**[07:05] Akina**
* That was a close one.*
* I almost let my own fantasy fry my brain.*
**[07:10] Hayakawa**
Manager?
**[07:11] Akina**
Hayakawa-san?!
**[07:12] Hayakawa**
I thought you said you had
sudden business to attend to?
**[07:22] Hayakawa**
Oh, I get it.
**[07:24] Akina**
You're curious, too, aren't you, Hayakawa-san?
**[07:26] Akina**
He's your childhood friend, and coworker...
**[07:28] Akina**
Wait, no!

We're pleased to have you.

**[08:45] Akina**

**[08:48] Shinozaki**
Not a lot of restaurants
with side-by-side seating.
**[08:51] Akina**
*He didn't catch on!*
**[08:52] Shiori**
This menu is huge.
I don't know where to start.
**[08:55] Akina**
*She's focused on food!*
**[08:56] Shinozaki**
I've never eaten somewhere like this before.
**[08:59] Shiori**
Neither have I.
**[09:01] Shinozaki**
It's what I'd expect from our manager,
though. He's really got style.
**[09:04] Akina**
* They're not getting what I was going for,*
* but they seem happy, so I guess it's okay?!*
**[09:08] Hayakawa**
You're really enjoying this, Manager.
**[09:10] Akina**
You bet I am!
**[09:13] Akina**
You see...
**[09:16] Akina**
The thing is...
**[09:20] Akina**
Nothing makes me happier than
cheering on someone else's love life.
**[09:27] Hayakawa**
*I think our boss might be a weirdo.*
**[09:30] Akina**
This is rough, though...
**[09:32] Akina**
I thought the couples seating
would get their pulses pounding.
**[09:35] Shinozaki**
Oh, check it out, Senpai. Over there!
**[09:39] Shiori**
What is it?
**[09:41] Shinozaki**
That's our office right there, isn't it?
**[09:43] Shiori**
Where?! I want to see!
**[10:01] Shiori**
I knew it! It's easier to see from up here!
**[10:05] Shinozaki**
*S-Senpai... s-so close...*
**[10:09] Shinozaki**
*a-and her....*
**[10:10] Shinozaki**
*b-b-boobs are...!*

**[10:17] Shinozaki**
Yes, it's a nice view...
**[10:19] Akina**
*Smooth move, Katase-san!*
**[10:21] Shiori**
Are you okay, Shinozaki-san?
Your face is red.
**[10:23] Akina**
Yes, that's the spirit!
**[10:25] Shinozaki**
Uh, yes, it's just,
kinda hot in here, y'know?
**[10:25] Akina**
Now, Shinozaki-kun just needs to
do something to thrill Katase-san...
**[10:31] Akina**
That's it... just a little more...
**[10:37] Shiori**
That was a big meal.
**[10:39] Shinozaki**
Yeah! And it all was great.
**[10:43] Shiori**
Well, we've got work tomorrow.
Maybe we should wrap it up for tonight.
**[10:48] Shinozaki**
Oh, man, it's that late already?
**[10:51] Shinozaki**
I was hoping we could stay
a bit longer. That's a shame.
**[10:57] Shiori**
You wanted to stay together... longer?
**[11:03] Shiori**
*Does that mean...?*
**[11:06] Shinozaki**

**[11:09] Shiori**
Oh, right! Thank you.

Oh, I'm sorry if I worried you!
**[13:25] Shinozaki**
W-Well...
**[13:27] Shinozaki**

By working at our company first.

R-Right...

Come to think of it, you always speak up
when a meeting gets quiet, don't you?
**[13:58] Shinozaki**
Yeah. I start to panic
when no one is talking...
**[14:02] Shiori**
It's even more nerve-racking
with the section chief in attendance.

He looks so scary...

**[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**
* Maybe I got too excited,*
* because he's my only kohai.*
**[18:11] Shiori**
I guess I'll buy something microwaveable...

**[18:39] Shinozaki**
A token of my thanks?
**[18:41] Hayakawa**
Thanks for what?
**[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...*
**[19:39] Shinozaki**
* This might be a lot harder to*

G-G-Good morning, Senpai!
**[19:51] Shiori**
What's wrong? You seem anxious.
**[19:54] Shinozaki**
Well, it's nothing, really...
**[19:58] Shinozaki**
*Th-The gift! I need to give it to her!*

Excuse me!
**[20:15] Shinozaki**
Thank you very much for the other day.
**[20:18] Shinozaki**
I got this for you...
**[20:26] Shinozaki**

Thank you so much!

**[20:45] Shinozaki**
W-Well...
**[20:49] Shinozaki**
I'm sure you'll look nice in it,
**[20:52] Shinozaki**
so I hope you'll use it at home.
**[20:55] Shiori**
You wouldn't mind me
coming by your house again?
**[20:59] Shinozaki**
I-I meant at your own house, not mine...
**[21:03] Shiori**
Oh, right! That makes sense. Sorry about that.
**[21:06] Shiori**
That was such a silly assumption to make...
**[21:11] Shinozaki**
Though, if you wouldn't mind, Senpai...
**[21:15] Shinozaki**
I'd be really glad to have you over again.
**[21:21] Shiori**
Well... Someday might be nice.
**[21:25] Shinozaki**
Right, well... whenever is good for you.

That's good to hear.
**[03:19] Akina**
We have a hard time getting new personnel,

so when you were hired, Katase-san
was so excited, she became a handful.
**[03:27] Shinozaki**
She was?
**[03:28] Akina**
Indeed she was.
**[03:29] Akina**
I remember it like it was yesterday...
**[03:33] (Flashback) Akina**
I'm thinking of interviewing this one.
**[03:36] (Flashback) Shiori**
Is it a boy or a girl?
**[03:40] (Flashback) Akina**
Interview's all done.
He seems nice, so it's a done deal.
**[03:43] (Flashback) Shiori**
When's he coming? When are you expecting?
**[03:46] Akina**
At the time I wondered,
"Huh? Am I having a baby?"

mushroom Arrabbiata, and the shrimp...

Now, now.... Since you're here,

Have to say, it's nostalgic to think about.
**[04:23] Akina**
Do you remember when
Shinozaki-kun first joined up?
**[04:26] Shinozaki**
I mean, it wasn't really that long ago...
**[04:30] Akina**
I suppose you're right!
It was just a while back.
**[04:33] Shiori**
Are we still talking about this?!
It's ancient news!

**[08:09] (Flashback) Shiori**
And I've been trying to stay calm, but...
**[08:12] (Flashback) Shiori**
I guess I haven't been
conducting myself like a senpai.
**[08:16] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
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.*
***SIGN*** Dog
***SIGN*** Cat
**[12:51] Shiori**
*Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy...*
**[12:59] Shiori**
Almost got 'em.
**[13:02] Shinozaki**
*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!
**[13:14] Shinozaki**
* The height of a child with*
* the purchasing power of an adult!*
**[13:20] Shinozaki**
Is this gonna work...?
**[13:22] Shiori**
Do you think...?
**[13:27] Shiori**
*It's caught on the bear.*
**[13:29] Chicken**
*Buck...*
**[13:31] Chicken**
*Buck-kaw!*
**[13:35] Shiori/Shinozaki**
All right!
**[13:38] Shinozaki**
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
"Shiori-san", right?
**[15:08] Shiori**
Okay, let's head back to the office!
**[15:11] Shinozaki**
Right!

The idea is to seize control of

**[15:58] Shinozaki**
Would that work?
**[16:00] Hayakawa**
I guess it could.
**[16:01] Shinozaki**
I see...
**[16:03] Shinozaki**
I'm not sure what fans of
classic Meowtaro will think of this, though.
**[16:06] Shiori**
I thought you all had gone home.
What are you doing?
**[16:09] Shinozaki**
*Speaking of classic fans!*

Katase-san, I'd love to hear your opinion.

It's an otome game featuring

*This is Meowtaro...?*
**[16:30] Shiori**
*Hot?*
**[16:30] Shiori**

You've got an interview, right?

Thank you for your time today.
**[18:54] Shiori**
So the person who helped you was one of
the people conducting the interview?
**[18:58] Shiori**
That feels an awful lot like fate!
**[19:01] Yamagishi(F)**
Who was it, anyway? Did you
see him again after getting the job?
**[19:05] Hayakawa**
W-Well, I did, but...
**[19:12] Hayakawa**
The thing about fireworks is...
**[19:14] Hayakawa**
they're pretty because
you see them at a distance.
**[19:17] Yamagishi(F)**
She got weirdly philosophical about it!
**[19:19] Hayakawa**
Never mind that! I told one,
so you need to, too, Yamagishi-san!
**[19:24] Yamagishi(F)**
Me?! I...
**[19:26] Yamagishi(F)**
I mean, obviously I don't have any!
That's the whole reason I'm asking!
**[19:31] Yamagishi(F)**
The way you believe me is kind of depressing...
**[19:36] Shiori**
Romantic anecdotes...
**[19:45] (Flashback) Shiori**
Since this one's a bear dog
that looks like Shinozaki-san...
**[19:48] (Flashback) Shiori**
Takuma-kun!
**[19:50] Shiori**
* I can't believe I said that, much less*
* that I'm thinking about it now.*
**[19:55] Shiori**
* I'm so embarrassed about*
* what I said, in hindsight.*
**[19:59] Shiori**
Still, it's just a stuffed animal. It has
nothing to do with the real Shinozaki-san.
**[20:06] Shiori**
Wait, didn't I have a...
**[20:09] Shiori**
Ta-da!
**[20:11] Shiori**
I added a necktie.
**[20:13] Shiori**
Pretty good if I say so myself.
**[20:16] Shiori**
Why am I making the resemblance even stronger?!
**[20:19] Shiori**
I need to calm down.
**[20:21] Shiori**
It's just a stuffed animal.
**[20:22] Shiori**
Just a stuffed...
**[20:32] Shiori**
Stuffed animal! It's just a stuffed animal!
**[20:48] Shiori**
Maybe I should rearrange them
so he's out of sight...

**[03:36] Hayakawa**
A-All that?!
**[03:38] Akina**
I don't have any hobbies,
**[03:40] Akina**
so I respect people who do,
like you. I think it's pretty cool.
**[03:47] Akina**
Then again, that outfit
is more cute than cool.
**[03:54] Hayakwawa**
* How can he just up and say*
* 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...

Which one am I supposed to root for?!
**[12:10] Shiori**
Sh-Sh-Shinozaki-san and I aren't like that...
**[12:13] Shiori**
More importantly, Manager!
**[12:15] Shiori**
Aren't you forgetting an option?
**[12:18] Akina**
Another option...?
**[12:20] Hayakawa**
There's nothing like another girl.
**[12:24] Shiori**
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?
**[12:45] Akina**
I dunno, why would you?
**[12:47] Shiori**
Aw! Don't answer a question
with another question!
**[12:51] Shiori**
Come on, we better hurry before
the lunch crowds fill everywhere up!
**[12:54] Akina**
But why would you?!
**[12:56] Shiori**
Manager!
**[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...
**[14:20] Shiori**
What's wrong, Hayakawa-san?
You've gone bright red.
**[14:25] Hayakawa**
I-I-I wonder why.
**[14:27] Akina**
Is it okay if I make this picture
my home screen background?
**[14:30] Hayakawa**
Of course not!

Senpai!
**[14:53] Shiori**
It's Halloween, after all.
**[14:55] Shiori**
What do you think?
**[14:56] Shinozaki**
It's cu—er, very nice looking.
**[14:59] Shinozaki**
I was kinda surprised.
**[15:01] Shiori**
That being the case,
once again: trick or treat!
**[15:06] Shinozaki**
S-Sorry, I didn't get anything ready...
**[15:11] Shiori**
That's okay.
**[15:12] Shiori**
Here you go!
**[15:15] Shinozaki**
Oh, thank yo—
**[15:26] Shinozaki**
T-Trick or treat?
**[15:30] Shiori**
Well done! Here you go.
**[15:32] Shinozaki**
Come on, don't treat me like a kid.
**[15:33] Hayakawa**
What are you grinning about?
And with cat ears on.
**[15:34] Shiori**
Which one would you like?
**[15:38] Akina**
Just thinking how this is going to be
one sugary Halloween!
**[15:42] Akina**
By the way, Hayakawa-san.
**[15:46] Akina**
Happy Halloween!
**[15:48] Akina**
Yep, I was right. Your cat-like
nature makes it a good fit.
**[15:52] Akina**
And we match!

It's pretty great.
**[16:10] Shiori**
It's not a good idea to
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.
**[16:37] Shiori**
A mature taste?
**[16:44] Shinozaki**
*I-Is she...?*
**[16:47] Shinozaki**
* Sh-She's waiting for me to*
* feed her the chocolate?*
**[16:51] Shinozaki**
*But if I do that...*
**[16:53] Shinozaki**
*M-My finger might touch Senpai's mouth!*
**[17:04] Shinozaki**
*But a chance like this...*
**[17:11] Shiori**
Yoink.
**[17:13] Shiori**
Too bad. Time's up.
**[17:21] Shiori**
Yummy!
**[17:24] Shinozaki**
*I'm so stupid! I wasted my chance!*
**[17:27] Shiori**
Shinozaki-san...
**[17:30] Shiori**
I-I feel weirdly toasty now.
**[17:37] Hayakawa**
Shinozaki, is there any candy left?
**[17:40] Shiori**
Hayakawa-shan! Hayakawa-shan!
**[17:46] Shiori**
Smooch! Smooch! Smooch!
**[17:47] Akina**
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.
**[17:56] Shinozaki**
Who could get that drunk off
of one chocolate?
**[18:00] Shiori**
Smooooch!
**[18:00] Hayakawa**
Would someone please help me?!
**[18:02] Akina**
Who would've guessed that
Katase-san would turn
**[18:04] Akina**
into a kissing machine
when she gets drunk?
**[18:06] Shinozaki**
A kissing machine...
**[18:07] Shinozaki**
*Does that mean I've got a chance?!*
**[18:10] Shiori**
Shinozaki-san...
**[18:12] Shinozaki**
Uh, well, I—I wasn't thinking
anything naughty!
**[18:16] Akina**
*Stare...*
**[18:17] Shinozaki**
Could you at least say something?
**[18:21] Akina**
Sorry, sorry!
**[18:21] Shiori**
Is that...
**[18:23] Shiori**
Manager! Manager!
**[18:26] Shiori**
Manager...
**[18:27] Shiori**
To be honest, I...
**[18:29] Shiori**
There's something I need to tell you.
**[18:34] Shinozaki**
Senpai! Senpai! Our manager
doesn't photosynthesize.
**[18:37] Shinozaki**
Over there, see?
**[18:39] Akina**
I'm right over here!
**[18:41] Akina**
What's up?
**[18:42] Shiori**
Manager! Manager!
**[18:45] Shiori**
Manager... the truth is, there's
something I need to tell you...
**[18:51] Shinozaki**
Wait, is this going where I think it is?!
**[18:54] Shinozaki**
Are Senpai... and Manager going to...
**[18:56] Shinozaki**
K-K-K-Kiss?!
**[19:01] Shiori**
Manager...
**[19:05] Shinozaki**
No! Hold on, Senpai!
**[19:12] Shiori**
I am so, so grateful for the way that you
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**
*I'm partly glad, and partly disappointed...*
**[19:33] Akina**
Now, then, Katase-senpai,
your kohai's right over there.
**[19:38] Shiori**
My kohai?
**[19:40] Shiori**
Kohai, Kohai!
**[19:42] Shinozaki**
* Hang on! Finding out*
* how she feels about me...*
**[19:46] Shinozaki**
*I-I'm not emotionally prepared for this!*
**[19:49] Shinozaki**
U-Uh, Senpai, I...
**[19:59] Shinozaki**
Wha...?!
**[20:02] Shinozaki**
Tears?!
**[20:04] Shinozaki**
I-I'm so sorry! I know I'm always
causing trouble for you, Senpai!
**[20:08] Shiori**
It's not that.
**[20:10] Shiori**
You used to have no idea
what to do on your own,
**[20:13] Shiori**
but you're so capable now...
**[20:16] Shiori**
It makes me really happy, as your senpai!
**[20:19] Shinozaki**
*So she's my mom?*
**[20:20] Shiori**
But...
**[20:22] Shiori**
if you do need help,
you can always turn to me, okay?
**[20:27] Shinozaki**
S-Senpai...
**[20:30] Shinozaki**
I-I think I'm gonna get you some water!
You sit here and wait a sec!
**[20:31] Hayakawa**
Tasty.

'Kay!
**[20:35] Akina**
Nice.
**[20:38] 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?
**[21:30] Hayakwa**
Of course not!

*Bleary-eyed and not fully awake from a dream*
**[21:50] ---**
* 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*

*"Just being around you is enough"*

**[00:02] Shiori**
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.

**[02:57] Shiori**
And that covers our company's project
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.
**[03:10] Shiori**
In that case, Shinozaki will contact you
**[03:14] Shiori**
in regards to nailing down the scheduling.
**[03:17] Shinozaki**
I-I'll be in touch.
**[03:19] Employee from another Company (Male; 30s)**
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?
**[04:31] Shiori**
M-Me and Shiori-san...?
**[04:36] Shiori**
Got you!
**[04:38] Rooster**
Buck buck-kaw.
**[04:42] Shiori**
No, no, no, no! Th-That's a terrible idea!
**[04:45] Shinozaki**
That bad?!
**[04:46] Shiori**
I don't want to be a
sexually harassing senpai!
**[04:48] Shinozaki**
From putting on bunny ears?!
**[04:50] Shiori**
M-My point is, me wearing
this would be a bit...
**[04:54] Shinozaki**
It's the same for me.
**[04:56] Both**
*But...*
**[04:58] Shiniozaki**
*If Senpai put it on...*
**[05:01] Shiori**
*If Shinozaki-san put it on...*
**[05:05] Both**
*It'd definitely be cute.*
**[05:12] Both**
*I wanna see that!*
**[05:15] Reporter**
Excuse me!
**[05:17] Reporter**
Right there! That lovely couple!
**[05:21] Reporter**
Pardon the interruption.
**[05:24] Reporter**
I'm a Nya~Tuber,
and I've been trying to hear
**[05:27] Reporter**
lovey-dovey stories from couples about town.
**[05:30] Reporter**
May I borrow some of your time?
**[05:34] Both**
We're...
**[05:36] Both**
not a couple.
**[05:39] Reporter**
I can't believe that, after ten attempts,
I've still come up empty-handed...
**[05:44] Reporter**
Why can't I find a couple?!
**[05:48] Shiori**
I-I'm not sure why, but I'm sorry.
**[05:51] Cameraman**
I was so sure they were a couple!
**[05:54] Reporter**
If you're not going out,
what's your relationship?
**[05:58] Shiori**
We're coworkers.
**[06:00] Reporters**
Coworkers...
**[06:01] Shiori**
Right, at the same company.
**[06:06] Reporter**
Could one of you confess your feelings
right now so you can become involved?
**[06:10] Both**
No!
**[06:11] Reporter**
Why not?! Please, start dating!
**[06:15] Shinozaki**
Wha?! Let go!
**[06:16] reporter**
No! Not until the two of you are a couple!
**[06:19] reporter**
I'm begging you! We're at our wits' end!
**[06:22] Shinozaki**
C-Cut it out! We can't!
**[06:24] Shinozaki**
Please let go! You're going to
give people the wrong idea!
**[06:27] Reporter**
Please! It's just for the Internet!
**[06:29] Reporter**
We've got next to no subscribers!
We barely get any views anyway!
**[06:33] Shinozaki**
Doesn't it hurt you to say that?!
**[06:37] Shiori**
I guess we don't have a choice.
**[06:38] Shiori**
Just for a little while, okay?
**[06:41] Shinozaki**
S-Senpai?!
**[06:43] Shiori**
And we're only going to be pretending.
**[06:45] Reporter**
Thank you so much! Thank you
so, so much! Thank you!
**[06:48] Shinozaki**
Pretending to be dating... Senpai...
**[06:52] Cameraman**
Okay, right where you are, please.
**[06:55] Shinozaki**
* Pretending to be going out...*
* Senpai's so mature.*
**[06:59] Shinozaki**
*I must be the only one freaking out...*
**[07:02] Shiori**

Let's start with the girlfriend.
**[07:29] Shiori**
S-Sure!
**[07:30] Reporter**
Tell us what you like about your boyfriend.
**[07:33] Shiori**
What I like...?
**[07:36] Shiori**
* This is kinda embarrassing,*
* but I can take it...*
**[07:40] Shiori**
I like how serious he is, and how he really
throws himself into the tasks he's given.
**[07:46] Reporter**
That sounds lovely!
**[07:48] Reporter**
You two met on the job?
**[07:51] Shiori**
Yes.
**[07:51] Reporter**
So, you must've gotten to know
each other while working.
**[07:55] Shiori**
That's right.
**[07:57] Shiori**
*This doesn't seem so hard, after all.*
**[07:59] Reporter**

**[08:02] Reporter**
What was your first kiss like? And where?
**[08:04] Shiori**
Hold on a second!
**[08:07] Shiori**
Isn't that raising the
bar a little suddenly?!
**[08:10] Reporter**
Huh? You think?
**[08:12] Shiori**
We're only pretending to be a couple,
so questions that are too probing might be...
**[08:17] Reporter**
Now, now, just imagine what
you wish it'd be like!
**[08:23] Reporter**
Please? Please? Please...?
**[08:25] Shiori**
W-Well, in that case...
**[08:29] Shiori**
It was in the office kitchenette...
when we were alone...
**[08:33] Shinozaki**
*The k-kitchenette?!*
**[08:34] Shinozaki**
* I won't be able to keep me cool*
* next time I'm in there!!*
**[08:38] Shiori**
* I-I can't believe I said that!*
* It makes it sound like I'm setting him up!*
**[08:43] Reporter**
Okay, here's a question for the boyfriend.
**[08:46] Shinozaki**
* I have to make sure I keep*
* Senpai's premise going!*
**[08:50] Shinozaki**
* But with my experience, there's gonna be*
* questions I have no idea how to deal with,*

**[09:53] Reporter**
So, what was your first time together like?

F-First—?!
**[09:58] Shinozaki**
It was the second time she came by my place.
**[10:01] Shiori**
*Th-The second—?!*
**[10:04] Shinozaki**
* The first time would probably be*
* too much, even for a playboy...*
**[10:07] Shiori**
* The second time? I've been to*
* Shinozaki-san's house once before...*
**[10:12] Shiori**
*D-Does that mean if I go again...*
**[10:16] Shiori**
Shinozaki-san, you left
something at the office.
**[10:20] Shinozaki**
You came by a second time...
**[10:24] Shinozaki**
Do you know what that means, Senpai?

Sh-Shinozaki-san...
**[10:29] Shiori**

She forgot the basic premise
was pretending to be dating
in the first place.
**[10:36] Shiori**
* For him to be able to say something*

**[10:40] Shiori**
*It's so shameless.*
**[10:49] (Flashback) Shiori**
I like how serious he is, and how he really
throws himself into the tasks he's given.

*Oh, I see now...*

The party was a lot of fun.

I'm Santa! Ho, ho, ho!

**[14:01] Shiori**
Shinozaki-san, do you have any plans?
**[14:03] Shinozaki**
Not really.
**[14:06] Shiori**
In that case...

since it's a special occasion, shall we
go somewhere before heading home?

Yeah.

I've been meaning to visit it for a while,

I'm glad we got to see it

**[14:54] Shinozaki**
I'm really happy to spend Christmas
with you like this, Senpai.
**[15:03] Shinozaki**
*S-So embarrassing...*
**[15:05] Shiori**
Wh-Where do you suppose Santa
is flying right about now?
**[15:09] Shinozaki**
It must be really hard delivering presents
to kids around the world in one night.
**[15:13] Shiori**
True enough...
**[15:15] Shiori**
Are there any presents you got from
Santa that you remember, Shinozaki-san?
**[15:21] Shinozaki**
Presents...
**[15:23] Shinozaki**
Let me think... There was
a video game I wanted once,
**[15:28] Shinozaki**
but then I got the wrong one.
**[15:31] Shinozaki**
But since it was from Santa,
I tried to enjoy it...
**[15:35] Shinozaki**
and by the time I was done,
it had really grown on me.
**[15:41] Shiori**
You were a sweetheart when
you were little, too, I see.
**[15:45] Shinozaki**
Y-You think...?
**[15:47] Shinozaki**
What about you, Senpai?
**[15:50] Shiori**
Let me think...
**[15:52] Shiori**
One time, I got this cute stuffed cat,
and I wanted to have it with me all the time.
**[15:59] Shiori**
I ended up taking it to kindergarten,
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.

The Santa I work for is tiny and cute.
**[00:11] Shiori**
I'm delivering a bunch
of presents again this year!
**[00:14] Shiori**
Let's work hard, reindeer!
**[00:17] Shinozaki**
Right!
**[00:17] Shiori**
Heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho...
**[00:20] Shinozaki**
*Looks heavy.*
**[00:23] Shinozaki**
Santa!
**[00:25] Shinozaki**
If you don't mind...
**[00:32] Shinozaki**
Uh, Santa?
**[00:34] Shiori**
I know we're going to be really busy today,
**[00:37] Shiori**
but let's try not to overdo it.
**[00:39] Shiori**
We'll be efficient and avoid overtime.
**[00:44] Shinozaki**
Well...
**[00:45] Shiori**
Yes?
**[00:46] Shinozaki**
I wasn't reaching out... for a hug...
**[00:50] Shinozaki**
but rather offering to carry your packages...
**[00:56] Shiori**
I am so sorry!
**[00:59] Shinozaki**
Don't worry! Let's do a good job today!
**[01:02] Shinozaki**
*Mistake or not, she gave me a hug.*
**[01:06] Shiori**
*Well, it's Christmas...*
**[01:08] Shiori**
*so it's probably fine, right?*
**[01:12] Shinozaki**
Santa?
**[01:13] Shiori**
R-Right! On my way!
**[01:17] Shiori**
Happy, merry Christmas!

You look exhausted. Working on your manuscript?
**[03:31] (Flashback) Hayakawa**
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.
**[03:39] (Flashback) Akina**
What's all this?
**[03:41] (Flashback) Akina**
You need some help?
**[03:43] (Flashback) Hayakawa**
M-Manager!
**[03:49] (Flashback) Hayakawa**
It's not work-related, so...
**[03:51] (Flashback) Akina**
I'll do anything I can!
**[03:54] (Flashback) Hayakawa**
Still... there are certain technical
qualifications involved.
**[03:57] (Flashback) Shiori**
Hayakawa-san.
**[04:00] (Flashback) Shiori**
This is a template for in-store installations
that the manager drew before!
**[04:04] (Flashback) Hayakawa**
Wow!
**[04:05] (Flashback) Hayakawa**
What is this, a new game plus for you?
**[04:07] (Flashback) Akina**
I haven't reincarnated, no.
**[04:11] (Flashback) Hayakawa**
Manager, can you hear me?
**[04:13] (Flashback) Akina**
Loud and clear!
**[04:15] (Flashback) Hayakawa**
I'm gonna upload something to the cloud.
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**
Wow!
**[05:03] (Flashback) Hayakawa**
But...
**[05:05] (Flashback) Hayakawa**
I accidentally asked him
to handle a sexy scene!
**[05:12] Akina**
Gotta say, that was a lot of fun!
Our first project together.
**[05:16] Akina**
Now that this 18 plus BL book is finished,
**[05:19] Akina**
it's the product of our love!
**[05:21] Hayakawa**
That's not exactly wrong,
but could be interpreted in a weird way!
**[05:24] Akina**
Here's hoping the product
of our love sells a lot!
**[05:28] Hayakawa**
Maybe that's what I should have
titled the book...
**[05:32] Haruna**
Chika-chan! It's been ages!
**[05:35] Haruna**
How've you been? It's been a while

I'm pretty good!

It was last summer,

**[05:42] Haruna**
And this is...?

Nice to meet you!

**[05:47] Hayakawa**
No!
**[05:48] Hayakawa**
I told you!
**[05:49] Hayakawa**
I needed some help, and someone
from work was nice enough to offer!
**[05:53] Haruna**
So you work with him...
**[05:56] Haruna**
and he's your boyfriend!
**[05:57] Hayakawa**
Why would you assume that?!
**[05:59] Akina**
Oh! On your bag there...
**[06:02] Akina**
Isn't that Hime-chan from *Kimihime-chan*?
**[06:04] Haruna**
You know it?! That's impressive!
**[06:07] Akina**

I'm sorry for calling so late.
**[07:21] Shinozaki**
*No, it's totally fine!*
**[07:23] Shinozaki**
What's up?
**[07:25] Shiori**
I just wanted to thank you
for everything this year.
**[07:30] Shinozaki**
Thank me?
**[07:33] Shiori**
Yeah.
**[07:34] Shiori**
You did a really great job over the last year.
**[07:37] Shiori**
Working with you helped me do better, too.
**[07:45] Shinozaki**
No! I feel like I was more
a nuisance than anything...
**[07:49] Shiori**
Y'know, when your senpai thanks you,
it's okay to think "Wow, I did a great job!"
**[07:55] Shinozaki**
Wow, I did a great job... then.
**[07:59] Shiori**
There you go! Well done.
**[08:01] Shiori**
Oh, wait, was that one last abuse
of authority before the year was over?
**[08:06] Shinozaki**
*I'm hoping she'll continue to abuse
her authority in this way next year, too!*

But...

I'm really glad you're my kohai, Shinozaki-san.

**[11:29] Akina**
*Don't worry about the dream.*
**[11:31] Shinozaki**
*Again?!*
**[11:37] Shiori**
*I woke up... and meow I'm a cat!*
**[11:42] Shiori**
*Wh-Wh-What's happened to meow?!*
**[11:45] Shiori**
*And this sign... did someone throw meow out?!*
**[11:49] Shinozaki**
Huh?
**[11:51] Shinozaki**
An abandoned cat?
**[11:53] Shiori**
*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
to start the new year with...
***SIGN*** Manager
***SIGN*** Don't mind the dream
**[13:43] Akina**
*Don't worry about the dream.*
**[13:46] Shiori**
*How did he know?!*
**[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.
***SIGN*** Meow-meow-ey
**[15:06] Yutaka**
B: Meow-meow-ey
**[15:08] Shinozaki**
Aren't these all typical for cats...?
***SIGN*** Smiley
**[15:11] Shinozaki**
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!
**[21:31] Shiori**
Oh, cotton candy!

**[00:03] Shiori**
I had no idea there were so many
different stalls for New Year's!
**[00:06] Shinozaki**
I've only ever been to smaller shrines,
so I've never seen anything like this before.
**[00:12] Shiori**
Shinozaki-san, look!
They've got a shooting game!
**[00:19] Shiori**
I'm so sorry! I was... not thinking...
**[00:22] Shinozaki**
No, please, don't worry about it!
**[00:26] Shiori**
*I'm making such a fuss,
my kohai is going to think I'm childish.*
**[00:31] Shinozaki**
*She's making such a fuss...
Senpai's acting like a kid.*

Do you think she's lost?

Maybe.
**[00:44] Shiori**
What's wrong?
**[00:46] Shiori**
Where are your parents?
**[00:50] Girl**
I dunno...
**[00:53] Shiori**
I see.
**[00:54] Shiori**
You were very brave
to hang in there on your own.
**[00:57] Shiori**
I'll stay with you now, so don't worry.
**[01:07] Shiori**
Looks like she is lost.
**[01:10] Shinozaki**
That was really mature of you, Senpai.
**[01:14] Shiori**
Well, of course! I'm an adult, after all.
**[01:17] Shiori**
They've got a station for lost kids
at the reception desk, right?
**[01:21] Shinozaki**
Yeah! Let's go.
**[01:24] Akina**
Look there, Yutaka-san.
**[01:26] Yutaka**
Yeah.
**[01:27] Akina**
They look like parents
with their child, don't they?!
**[01:30] Yutaka**
I can see it... my cute little sister,
and her cute little daughter!
**[01:35] Hayakawa**
Would you two stop fussing? It's childish.

*Time to start a new year of work.*
**[03:12] Shinozaki**
Good morning!
**[03:15] Shinozaki**
It's a pleasure to be
working with you again, Senpai!
**[03:20] Shiori**
Hearing you call me that makes me
feel like it's time to get back to work.
**[03:25] Shinozaki**
*If you like it, I can call you that
whenever you like!*
**[03:28] Shinozaki**
I have to say, New Year's went
by in the blink of an eye.
**[03:31] Shiori**
Considering you were a student last year,
it probably seems even faster.
**[03:36] Shiori**
*I feel like...*
**[03:40] Shiori**
*the angle at which I'm looking up at
Shinozaki-san is different from usual...*
***SIGN*** Usual

Today
**[03:49] Shiori**
*When I would see him before,
my head was around here.*
**[03:54] Shiori**
*Now I'm a little higher...*
**[03:57] Shiori**
*Could it be?*
**[04:01] Shiori**
*Have I gotten taller?!*
**[04:05] Shiori**
Shinozaki-san.
**[04:06] Shinozaki**
Yes?
**[04:09] Shiori**
I'm a little different
than usual today. Can you tell?
**[04:15] Shinozaki**
*She's different?*
**[04:18] Shinozaki**
*Her clothes and shoes are different,*
**[04:21] Shinozaki**
*but I don't think she'd ask
if it was something that obvious...*
**[04:26] Shinozaki**
*Standard practice is to check nails,
but those don't seem different...*
**[04:32] Shiori**
You can't tell?
**[04:37] Shinozaki**
*This scent...*
**[04:39] Shinozaki**
*That's it!*
**[04:41] Shinozaki**
Did you switch to a different shampoo?
**[04:45] Shiori**
I did, but that's not what I meant!
**[04:49] Shinozaki**
*I got it wrong! A pervert!
She'll think I'm a pervert!*
**[04:52] Shiori**
Shinozaki-san...
you've been smelling my shampoo?
**[04:57] Shinozaki**
*It's not like that, Senpai!*
**[04:59] Shinozaki**
*I swear, it wasn't anything untoward...*
**[05:02] Shiori**
*I'll need to be careful with my
shampoo choices going forward...*
**[05:06] Shiori**
*He seems really stumped.*
**[05:10] Shiori**
*I should give him an obvious hint.*
**[05:13] Shiori**
Okay, here's a hint.
**[05:16] Shiori**
It's not my hair or anything in particular
like that, but more my body as a whole.
**[05:22] Shinozaki**
Your whole body?
**[05:25] Shinozaki**
*Her whole... body...*
**[05:31] Shiori**
*I just told my kohai
to pay attention to my body!*
**[05:36] Shinozaki**
That's what you're into, huh?
**[05:39] Shiori**
*A pervert! He'll think I'm a pervert!*
**[05:45] Shinozaki**
H-How about another hint?
**[05:48] Shiori**
L-Let's see...
**[05:50] Shiori**
Well, there's a big size difference between us.
**[05:55] Shiori**
That should make it pretty clear.
**[05:58] Shinozaki**
*A size difference... Th-Then maybe...*
**[06:03] Shinozaki**
*You mean to say they've gotten even bigger?!*
**[06:06] Shiori**
Did you figure it out?
**[06:08] Shinozaki**
*It can't be that!*
**[06:11] Shinozaki**
Well... I give up.
**[06:15] Shiori**
Okay, here's the answer.
**[06:18] Shiori**
It turns out...
**[06:20] Shiori**
Ta-da! I'm a little bit taller!
**[06:26] Shinozaki**
Now that you mention it,
you do seem a bit taller...
**[06:30] Shinozaki**
*The boots... That explains it.*
**[06:34] Shinozaki**
Yeah, you're wearing
boots for a change, after all.
***SIGN*** My boots...
**[06:38] Shiori**
My boots... the soles...

**[06:43] Shiori**
I'm just gonna sit here
for the rest of the day.
**[06:46] Shionozaki**
But maybe you did get a bit taller!
**[06:48] Shiori**
You don't need to humor me.
**[06:51] Shinozaki**
Well... Senpai...
**[06:53] Shiori**
I thought I was getting taller... Sulk...
**[06:58] Ishiyama**

Don't be like that, Shinozaki-kun.
**[07:15] Ishiyama**
They do say, "when you're young,

Unfortunately for you,
**[07:25] Shiori**
we're not in the habit of accepting challenges
that don't actually serve a purpose.
**[07:31] Ishiyama**
Katase-san!
**[07:32] Shinozaki**
Senpai.
**[07:33] Ishiyama**
I-I thought you were in a meeting...
**[07:36] Shiori**
Oh, so you asked Shinozaki-san about this
because you thought I wasn't around?
**[07:40] Ishiyama**
Catch you next time, Shinozaki-kun!
**[07:43] Akina**
Ishiyama-kun never changes, does he?

**[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?!*

**[11:34] 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.
***SIGN*** Gimme
**[15:37] Stamp signs**
No way
**[15:38] Yutaka**
Your manager said to task you.
**[15:40] Shinozaki**
Since when are you and my boss buddies?!
**[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**
*Wh-Wh-Where did this
come from all of a sudden?!*
**[16:23] Shiori**
*A-A-A-Am I dreaming?!
Am I still asleep right now?!*
**[16:29] Shiori**
*I should bathe first...*
**[16:31] Shinozaki**

**[16:34] Shinozaki**
Okay, I've got it back.

***SIGN*** I'm so sorry!
My sister sent that!
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**
*Shiorin... Sorry about earlier.
Allow me to make amends...*

*My sleeping brother.*
**[18:25] Yutaka**
*My brother drinking bubble tea.*
**[18:28] Yutaka**

**[18:30] Yutaka**
*My brother, running.*
**[18:32] Yutaka**
*My brother, with sushi.*

**[18:34] Shiori**
*Sh-She keeps sending pictures

*My brother, in the bath.*
**[18:39] Shiori**
*Wait... in the bath...*
**[18:41] Shiori**
*W-W-Wouldn't that mean
Shinozaki-san is... n-na...*
**[18:46] Shiori**
*Naked?*
**[18:48] Yutaka**
*Age 3.*
**[18:49] Shinozaki**
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.
**[19:59] Shinozaki**
Senpai!
**[20:01] Akina**
Great idea!
**[20:02] Shiori**
Manager?!
**[20:03] Shinozaki**
How long have you been there?!
**[20:04] Akina**
Okay!
**[20:05] Akina**
Shinozaki-kun,
get a little closer to Katase-san!
**[20:14] Shinozaki**
I-Is there a reason I need to get closer?!
**[20:16] Akina**
There sure is!
**[20:18] Shiori**
Are you nervous, Shinozaki-san?
**[20:21] Shinozaki**
Yeah!
**[20:24] Shiori**
To be honest...
**[20:27] Shiori**
I'm kind of nervous, too.
**[20:31] Shinozaki**
*Does that mean...?*
**[20:32] Akina**
Here we go!
**[20:34] Akina**
Say cheese!
**[20:38] Akina**
How's that?
**[20:40] Shiori**
Great! It turned out nicely.
**[20:42] Shinozaki**
*I was actually in a pair shot with Senpai!*
**[20:47] Haykaawa**
Huh? What're you all doing?
**[20:50] Shiori**
Hayakawa-san!
**[20:51] Shiori**
Since you're here,
you should take one with us, too!
**[20:55] Hayakawa**
What?
**[20:56] Shiori**
You get in here, too, Manager!
**[20:58] Akina**
Me, too?
**[21:00] Shinozaki**
Does a five second timer sound good?
**[21:01] Shiori**
Yes!
**[21:02] Akina**
Sure.
**[21:03] Haykawa**
Wait, what are we doing?!
**[21:04] Shiori**
Hurry up, Hayakawa-san!

New Year's is over by the time you finish

**[00:16] Hayakawa**

You and Katase-san would love to
recuperate in a hot springs too, right?

Under a pristine sky,
surrounded by nature's beauty...
**[00:26] Hayakawa**
Listening to the chirping of
birds and babbling of rivers,
**[00:29] Hayakawa**

I need to warm up mentally.
**[00:42] Shiori**
I get you... I really get you, Hayakawa-san!
**[00:46] Shiori**
Maybe they'll have a cat on the premises...
**[00:49] Shiori**
Relief from this jungle of concrete
underneath nothing but blue lights...
**[00:54] Shinozaki**
* No good! Senpai's all the way off*
* in fantasy land!*
**[00:57] Hayakawa**
Do you seriously wanna go
at the end of the month?
**[01:00] Hayakawa**
On a weekday, using paid vacation!
**[01:02] Shiori**
That sounds really, really good!
**[01:04] Hayakawa**
You wanna come, too, Shinozaki?
**[01:06] Shinozaki**
It'd be kind of weird for me to tag along...
**[01:08] Hayakawa**
Don't you wanna catch a glimpse of
your senpai, fresh out of the bath?
**[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...
**[01:53] Shinozaki**
Senpai...
**[01:54] Shjiori**
Shinozaki-san...
**[01:55] Akina**
Mm-hm, mm-hm.
**[01:57] Shinozaki**
Hayakawa...
**[01:58] Hayakwa**
Sh-Shinozaki...
**[01:58] Akina**
Mm-hm, mm-hm.
**[02:00] Shiori**
Hayakawa-san!
**[02:02] Hayakawa**
Katase-san!
**[02:02] Akina**
Mm-hm, mm-hm!
**[02:04] Akina**
Mm-hm, mm-hm!
**[02:06] Akina**
This is gonna be awesome!
**[02:08] Hayakawa**
Hold it!
**[02:09] Shiori**
Can't you be normal about this?!

And we'd normally be

**[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
ride shotgun with you next time!

I-I wasn't trying to—

I'm in fluffy wuffy kitty witty paradise...
**[04:39] Shinozaki**
*It was a scream of joy.*
**[04:41] Akina**
They say you can tell if an inn
is good when it has cats, so...
**[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...
**[06:18] Shinozaki**
*Manager!*
**[06:19] Shinozaki**
*That was flawless, and he made it look easy!*

You really does look nice...

*I-I suddenly feel really self-conscious!*
**[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!
**[07:09] Shinozaki**
*That's right! If we get in the pool,
I'll naturally get to see the swimsuit!*

Senpai, come on!
**[07:17] Shiori**
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.
**[08:03] Kid**
I want ice cream!
**[08:05] Mother**
Let's go ask dad, then.
**[08:05] Shiori**
When I was little...
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**
I-I'm okay! I'm alive!
**[10:25] Shiori**
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**
Senpai heating pad!
**[18:36] Shinozkai**
W-W-Wait, now's not the time! Please, let go!
**[18:40] Shiori**
It's an adhesive, and not going anywhere!
**[18:45] Shiori**
Feeling warm?
**[18:45] Shinozaki**
*Crap, crap, crap!*
**[18:50] Shinozaki**
Senpai... please, quiet down for a sec.
**[18:56] Akina**
Maybe you're imagining it.
**[18:59] Hayakawa**
I guess.
**[19:02] Shinozaki**
*We're saved...*
**[19:04] Shiori**
Shinozaki-san...
**[19:06] Shiori**
Your hand...
**[19:08] Shiori**
Your hand's on my chest.
**[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!
**[19:50] Shinozaki**
Senpai's going out!
**[19:52] Shinozaki**
*What do I do, what do I do?!*
**[19:58] Shiori**
Hayakawa... san...
**[20:03] Shiori**
H-Huh? It's all dark...
**[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.
**[21:29] Shiori**
So much fun...
**[21:30] Shinozaki**
You've got it all wrong!

*Bleary-eyed and not fully awake from a dream*

*So I sneakily toss in
two pinches of a sweet secret*

*There's a local bakery
that's only open sometimes*

*What is it that makes it so satisfying?*

*As for how we ended up here...*
**[02:04] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
Meowtaro merchandise from 30 years ago?
**[02:07] (Flashback) Akina**
Right.
**[02:08] (Flashback) Akina**
It's for the upcoming Meowtaro
30th anniversary exhibit.
**[02:14] (Flashback) Akina**
It should be in storage in the basement
Could you go look for it?
**[02:17] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
Sure thing.
**[02:19] (Flashback) Akina**
It might be a bit much to do on your own,
so take Katase-san with you.
**[02:22] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
Got it! We'll go find it.
***SIGN*** General Affairs Office

**[02:27] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
Did you find it?
**[02:29] (Flashback) Shiori**
It's not over here.
**[02:33] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
If it's from over 30 years ago,
would it really...
**[02:37] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
Did you find it?
**[02:38] (Flashback) Shiori**
A Meowtaro pen case!
I had one of these! This is so nostalgic!
**[02:43] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
*This place might be a treasure trove
to old-school Meowtaro fans!*
**[02:47] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
Senpai, we should probably
finish looking before the sun sets.
**[02:53] (Flashback) Shiori**
I got a message from
the manager on the office chat.

**[03:22] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
There's still so much stuff to look through.
**[03:24] (Flashback) Shiori**
Where do we even start?
**[03:27] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
Good question...
**[03:29] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
For now, I'll start lowering
the boxes on the upper shelves...
**[03:34] (Flashback) Ito**
No one's here, right?
**[03:36] (Flashback) Yoshida**
No one comes all the way down here.
**[03:38] (Flashback) Shiori**
Shinozaki-san, look over here.
**[03:43] (Flashback) Ito**
But what if someone finds us?
**[03:45] (Flashback) Yoshida**

But we're working!
**[04:17] (Flashback) Shinozaki**

Well, well, this is really something...
**[04:27] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
*She's super staring!*

**[04:31] (Flashback) Yoshida**
Does the thought of getting found excite you?
**[04:33] (Flashback) Ito**
Oh, you.
**[04:34] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
*You've already been found, actually.*
**[04:37] (Flashback) Ito**
It's not that, but if we're going to
have fun, I wanna move to the back.
**[04:45] (Flashback) Shinozaki**

I hope they don't plan on
doing anything weird...

No... I can't imagine
they would, in the office.

By the way... Senpai...
**[05:38] Shinozaki**
Well... sorry if I smell sweaty or anything...
**[05:44] Shiori**
It's okay.
**[05:46] Shiori**
Since it's you... I don't mind.

*Wh-What does that mean?!*

I can smell Shiorin on your suit...

**[12:16] Shinozaki**
There's something
I'd like to discuss privately.
**[12:22] Shiori**
Okay.
**[12:26] Hayakawa**
Man, Meowtaro is honestly so cute.
**[12:29] Yamagishi**
I know what you mean. The way
he's so floppy is weirdly addictive.
**[12:33] Hayakawa**
You can really see how he was able to be
the company's big attraction for 30 years.

Oh, did you hear, Katase-san?
**[13:33] Yamagishi**
Yoshida-san from PR is getting reassigned.
**[13:37] Shiori**
Yoshida-san...?
**[13:39] Yamagishi**
He was apparently fooling around
with Ito-san while on the clock.
**[13:44] Hayakawa**
There were a ton of witnesses, too.
**[13:46] Hayakawa**
They were so into each other
they probably didn't notice.
**[13:51] Shiori**
I guess with office romances,
someone will need to get reassigned, huh?
**[13:55] Yamagishi**
I dunno. I think this is mostly
about it affecting their work.
**[14:04] Shiori**
*Reassignment...*
**[14:09] Yamagishi**
It's kind of a shock, though.
***SIGN*** The way
they were
before
**[14:11] Yamagishi**
I always thought those two
were pretty cool and impressive.
**[14:11] Yoshida**
All right, let's move on!
**[14:13] Ito**
I've got it!
**[14:14] Yoshida**
I've got your back!
**[14:16] Yamagishi**
But then...
**[14:17] Sign**
The way
they are
now
**[14:17] Yoshida**
Yuri-tan.
**[14:18] Ito**
Masa-tan!
**[14:20] Yoshida**
Yuri-tan...
**[14:22] Hayakawa**
That is *such* a thing. Guys who
change the second they get a girlfriend.
**[14:25] Yamagishi**
I know, right?
**[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.
**[16:01] Yoshida**
Yuri-tan!
**[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!
**[16:19] Yoshida**
Yuri-tan.
**[16:22] Ito**
Masa-tan.
**[16:23] Both**
Smoochie!
**[16:27] Yamagishi**
They've gone totally, completely...
**[16:28] Hayakawa**
...absolutely stupid.
**[16:29] Ito**
Masa-tan!
**[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!
**[16:57] Shiori**
It's okay! Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
**[17:01] Shiori**
Isn't that right?
**[17:02] Shinozaki**
Yeah! You're right!
**[17:04] Shinozaki**
Shiorin.
**[17:06] Shiori**
Takkun.
**[17:08] Shiori**
Squeeze!
**[17:10] Shiori**
Totally, completely... absolutely stupid.
**[17:21] Shinozaki**
*I'm finally gonna tell Senpai...*
**[17:27] Shinozaki**
*I can't run away! I need to brace myself!*
**[17:33] Shiori**
Shinozaki-san.
**[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.

*Bleary-eyed and not fully awake from a dream*

*And let it slowly spread throughout*

You won't be able to transform now.
**[22:00] Haya Kawa**
With your transformation

And once again, we're holding a competition
between new hires this year!
***SIGN*** New Hire Contest
**[03:24] Shinozaki**
A new hire competition?
**[03:26] Shiori**
It's a intracompany competition
for employees in their first year.
**[03:31] Shiori**
When the manager was in his first year,
his proposal won him the MVP award for that year.
**[03:36] Shiori**
It went on to actually
be produced, became a huge hit...
**[03:39] Shiori**
Earning him the MVP award for that year.
**[03:42] Shiori**
Isn't that amazing?
**[03:43] Shinozaki**
I feel bad for the other rookies
who were hired at the same time.
**[03:47] Shinozaki**
That said...
**[03:49] Shinozaki**
You're actually kind of amazing, huh, Manager?
**[03:52] Akina**
Well, I'm not so sure about that.
**[03:54] Akina**
Nah, I am!

An opulent trip to a luxury resort

***SIGN*** Supreme Opulence!

**[04:14] Shinozaki**
*Okinawa... A luxury resort...*
**[04:17] Shiori**
I bought a new swimsuit for the occasion.
**[04:22] Shiori**
What do you think, Shinozaki-san?
**[04:26] Shinozaki**
I...
**[04:28] Shinozaki**
I'm gonna work hard!
**[04:30] Shiori**
*So motivated!*
**[04:32] Shinozaki**
But I'll have to handle
my regular duties, too...
**[04:35] Akina**
I'll manage your task balance!
**[04:37] Shiori**
I'll help, too, of course!
**[04:40] Akina**
So will Hayakawa-san.
**[04:41] Hayakawa**
I guess I don't mind pitching in...
**[04:44] Shiori**
Work hard to win that most promising
hire award, Shinozaki-san!
**[04:48] Shinozaki**
Senpai...
**[04:51] Shinozaki**
I'll do just that! Let's all go

**[04:55] Shiori**

**[04:59] Yamagishi (M)**
So that's why you're so fired up.
**[05:01] Shinozaki**
I wanna live up to their expectations!
**[05:04] Shinozaki**
That said, I still don't have a concrete
idea for my proposal yet...

**[05:32] Shinozaki**
I guess I'm sorry?
**[05:33] Yamigishi(M)**
You really hit the jackpot,
though, Zakishino...
**[05:37] Yamigishi(M)**
You got a 5-star senpai with a 5-star boss to boot!
**[05:40] Shinozaki**
Could you not treat the people in my
department like gacha characters?
***SIGN*** Employment
Agent
**[05:43] Yamagishi(M)**
Maybe I oughta contact a job agent and
see about trying a reset marathon...
**[05:48] Hayakawa**
I'm telling you, it tasted amazing.
**[05:51] Yamagishi**
Speak of the devil...
**[05:53] Yamagishi**
There's 5-star senpai.
**[05:54] Yamakawa**
And there's no limit!
**[05:56] Yamagishi (F)**
There's not?!
**[05:57] Hayakawa**
Plus, the interior is so cute.
**[06:01] Yamagishi(M)**
We're both rookies and we make
the same money, but look at the difference!
**[06:05] Yamagishi(M)**
Is life just pure RNG?!
**[06:06] Yamagishi(M)**
With a senpai like that I'd be
willing to work Monday to Friday
**[06:10] Yamagishi(M)**
for nine hours a day,
minus one hour for lunch, too!
**[06:15] Shinozaki**
You should be able to do that anyway.
**[06:17] Yamagishi(M)**
Be real with me. How are
things going, Zakishino?
**[06:20] Shinozaki**
With what?
**[06:21] Yamagishi(M)**
Don't play dumb.
**[06:23] Yamagishi(M)**
With you and Katase-paisen!
**[06:25] Yamagishi(M)**
I mean, she came to check on you
at your house...
**[06:29] Yamagishi(M)**
And you went on a trip
together, right? Right? Right?
**[06:37] Shinozaki**
Nothing... happened...
**[06:40] Yamagishi**
Unbelievable. What, you see
those boobs and just feel nothing?
**[06:45] Shinozaki**
Don't talk so bluntly about boobs!
**[06:48] Shinozaki**
I-I mean...
**[06:51] Shinozaki**
I guess I can't say it's been
absolutely nothing.
**[06:55] Yamagishi(M)**
Holy crap, the deed's already done?!
**[06:57] Yamagishi(M)**
Give him back! I want
my pure-hearted Zakishino back!
**[07:00] Shinozaki**
I'm still pure, actually!
**[07:04] Kurusu**

**[07:19] Yamagishi(M)**
She was hand-picked
as the rising star of Group 1
**[07:22] Yamagishi(M)**
by their charismatic, high-minded chief!
**[07:25] Yamagishi(M)**
She's got the hottest rep out of anyone

**[07:30] Yamagishi(M)**
And she's favored to win
the most promising rookie contest!
**[07:35] Kurusu**
Time should be productive, not wasted...
**[07:40] Kurusu**
If you want to progress to the next stage.
**[07:42] Both**
*That does sound high-minded!*
**[07:44] Kurusu**
You were also discussing... breasts.
**[07:50] Kurusu**
That's sexual harassment.
**[07:51] Both**
*You're right, it is.*
**[07:54] Yamagishi(M)**
Not when it comes to Zakishino
and Senpai. They're mutually in love.
**[07:58] Shinozaki**
Yamagishi-kun?!
**[08:00] Kurusu**
The partner is... his senpai?
**[08:02] Kurusu**
She's abusing her authority, then?
**[08:04] Shinozaki**
*Wha?!*
**[08:05] Kurus**
Exploiting her power.
**[08:06] Shinozaki**
Senpai isn't—
**[08:08] Yamagishi(M)**
Chill out, Zakishino. Leave this to me.
**[08:12] Yamagishi(M)**
This ain't no abuse.
**[08:14] Yamagishi(M)**
Because the two of them are going out!
**[08:15] Shinozaki**
Also not true!
**[08:17] Kurusu**
Workplace romance... Can't understand.
**[08:21] Kurusu**
We don't provide matchmaking services here.
**[08:23] Yamagishi(M)**
Yet, according to surveys, more than a quarter
of married couples met at work.
**[08:29] Yamagishi(M)**
It's totally natural.
**[08:35] Shinozaki**
Easy, now...
**[08:38] Takatsukasa**
Kurusu.
**[08:41] Takatsukasa**
This is rare. You normally
don't stick around in the break room.

You're Shinozaki-kun from Dev Group 2, yes?
**[09:13] Shinozaki**
Yes.
**[09:14] Takatsukasa**
Your manager and I joined
the company at the same time.
**[09:17] Takatsukasa**
I make it a point to keep up
with Group 2's new hires.
**[09:20] Shinozaki**
You and Manager? That'd mean...
**[09:24] (Flashback) Shiori**
Isn't that amazing?
**[09:26] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
I feel bad for the other rookies.
**[09:30] Shinozaki**
*She's who I felt bad for!*
**[09:32] Takatsukasa**
Something wrong?
**[09:33] Shinozaki**
No, nothing!
**[09:35] Takatsukasa**
Akina and I have been friendly rivals

Are you even listening?
**[11:57] Ishiyama**
A battle over me!

No, seriously...

I've got another Meowtaro right here.
**[14:49] Tomo**
I don't wanna play with some dumb doll.
**[14:51] Tomo**
But she's always playing
with them all by herself!
**[14:55] Shinozaki**
You noticed that, huh?
Do you want to play with her?

Yeah. My friends are the dolls.
**[15:15] Shiori**
I see. But I'd like you to play
with us, too, Marin-chan.
**[15:23] Marin**
Then, let's play house!

No! Mommy doesn't call daddy her kohai!

*It's like a vision of the future!*

*No! The child is supposed to be

And I'll be mommy. And you're kitty!

*I'm... a kitty?*
**[16:22] Shinozaki**
*I guess Senpai seems like a cat to kids, too.*

* A cat... I mean, that is*
* a member of the family, but...*
**[16:30] Shiori**
*So I'm an animal, not a human...*
**[16:32] Marin**

**[16:37] Marin**
There, there.
**[16:39] Marin**
Do you want to eat, too, kitty?
**[16:42] Marin**
In that case...
**[16:44] Marin**
Sit on Daddy's lap.
**[16:46] Shiori**
*S-S-Sit... on Daddy's lap?!*
**[16:59] Marin**
No!
**[17:00] Marin**
You have to sit for real!
**[17:02] Marin**
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!*
**[17:10] Shiori**
*Serious charges!*
**[17:12] Shiori**
*But the child is the star
when you play house...*
**[17:16] Shiori**
*I should...*
**[17:22] Shinozaki**
*S-Senpai?!*
**[17:25] Marin**
There you go. Good girl.
**[17:27] Marin**
Give the kitty pats, Daddy.
**[17:30] Shinozaki**
*Patting her while lying around?!*
**[17:32] Shiorin**
*Those are couple activities! In broad
daylight, in front of small children?!*
**[17:37] Shinozaki**
*But Senpai's a cat right now...*
**[17:40] Shiori**
*But I'm a cat right now...*
**[17:47] Shinozaki**
G-Good girl...
**[17:51] Shiori**
*Maybe life as a cat... wouldn't be so bad.*
**[17:55] Marin**
Okay, your food is here, kitty.
**[17:58] Shiori**
*Eating off the floor...
but I'm a cat... I'm a cat.*
**[18:03] Shinozaki**
*Senpai is crawling around on the ground...*
**[18:07] Shiori**
Yum-meow!
**[18:09] Marin**
We're done eating,
so let's have a picnic in the sandbox!
**[18:14] Marin**
But there's a shark inside, so be careful.
**[18:17] Shinozaki**

**[18:20] Shinozaki**
Be careful now, Mommy.

If you like a girl, be nice to her.
**[19:07] Tomo**
Sorry... you still mad?
**[19:09] Marin**
I guess.
**[19:11] Tomo**
I really am sorry. Let's remake it...
**[19:16] Tomo**
And then can I play with you?
**[19:18] Marin**
I guess that's fine.
**[19:22] Shinozaki**
So, when we play house, who will Tomo-kun be?
**[19:26] Marin**
Tomo-kun is...
**[19:28] Marin**
The shark.
**[19:29] Others**
The shark?!
**[19:30] Marin**
He's mean, so he has to be

*Look, I get it, but for now try to pipe down*

***SIGN*** #11 Can I Give You a Big Hug?
**[02:10] Yamagishi**
What should I drink?
**[02:15] Yamagishi**
Working late on your entry? Good for you.
**[02:18] Yamagishi**
Here, for you.
**[02:20] Kurusu**
Thank... you...
**[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...
***SIGN*** The Ultimate Meowtaro
**[08:40] Takatsukasa**
This art...
**[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!
**[10:09] Kurusu**
Meow, meow, meow!
**[10:12] Kurusu**
*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!
**[12:12] Shiori**
This talk about losing
or keeping the manager...
**[12:15] Shiori**
What's that all about?
**[12:19] Shinozaki**
Uh, well... the truth is...

**[12:40] Hayakawa**

**[12:41] Shiori**
So I'm the only one who didn't?!
**[12:44] Shiori**
Maybe we can still negotiate...
**[12:46] Shiori**
But she's probably already into her proposal...
**[12:50] Shiori**
What do we do?!
**[12:52] Shinozaki**
Senpai.
**[12:55] Shinozaki**
Specially made by your kouhai,
it's the kanji for "person."
**[12:59] Shinozaki**
I really am sorry that
I didn't tell you sooner.
**[13:03] Shinozaki**
But I've been under your guidance
for a whole year now.
**[13:12] Shinozaki**
I know I won't lose.
**[13:18] Shiori**
Gosh... if you put it like that...
**[13:23] Shiori**
I won't be able to say anything back.
**[13:28] Shiori**

the most valuable rookie award!

Friends, huh?
***SIGN*** Strategy meeting
Friends
**[14:31] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
Yes.
**[14:33] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
It's something that came to mind
when we were with the preschool class.
**[14:37] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
There're unlimited ways to have fun...
**[14:39] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
What if there was someone who existed
to help people share that fun?
**[14:43] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
What if they had that kind of friend?
**[14:46] (Flashback) Shiori**
I see...
**[14:47] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
I was hoping to ask you all about
what you heard about from the kids.
**[14:52] (Flashback) Manager**
There was one who liked skateboarding.
**[14:55] (Flashback) Hayakawa**
I remember one who was good with magic tricks.
**[14:57] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
Nice!
**[14:59] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
This friend could recommend
those kinds of things,
**[15:03] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
and it'll create fondness and
identification almost instantly!
**[15:06] Male Employee 1**
Wow!
**[15:07] Male Employee 2**
Look at him go on that skateboard.
**[15:09] Male EMployees (General)**
I wanna try that.
**[15:10] Male EMployees (General)**
Looks like fun!
**[15:13] Shiori**
*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."*
**[15:37] Female employees (general)**
Wow!
**[15:38] Female employees (general)**
Cute!
**[15:39] Female employees (general)**
That was amazing!
**[15:41] Female employees (general)**
You're amazing, Meowtaro.
**[15:42] Shiori**
*Aren't they all getting a little
touchy with that costume?*
**[15:42] Female employees (general)**
So cute!
**[15:46] Shiori**
*You're grown adults. You should realize
there's someone inside that suit!*

Completely ignoring what she
was thinking minutes ago
**[15:53] Shiori**
*But...*

*That was a wonderful finish

That was Team Shinozaki from Development Group 2.
**[16:08] Shiori**
Good work.

Your presentation was amazing!
**[16:12] Shiori**
I'm sure you'll win
the most valuable rookie award!
**[16:17] Shiori**
It looks like Hayakawa-san
went back to her seat already.
**[16:21] Shiori**
And, well... I know you might be
feeling tired right now, but...
**[16:27] Shiori**
I was hoping I could ask for something.
**[16:30] Shiori**
Can I give you a big hug, too?
**[16:37] Shiori**
I-It's just that everyone else was doing it,
and I was wondering what it was like!
**[16:43] Shiori**
Why are you running?!
You let everyone else touch you lots!
**[16:48] Shinozaki**
Thank you so much!
**[16:50] Shinozaki**
Sorry I had to duck out like that...
**[16:52] Shinozaki**
There was an urgent data correction
I had to take care of.
**[16:55] Shiori**

**[16:57] Shiori**
Then, who's...
**[17:01] Shiori**
This Meowtaro?

It's me!

Yamagishi's team from Public Relations!
**[19:39] Yamagishi (M)**
No way... Me?
**[19:42] Ishiyama**
Yay!
**[19:44] MC**
Where did you get the idea
for your proposal from?
**[19:46] Yamagishi(M)**
Nowhere in particular...
**[19:48] Ishiyama**
It's all thanks to my daily guidance!
**[19:51] Shinozaki**
He was the least motivated, and yet...!
**[19:54] Kurusu**
This is... really frustrating.
**[19:57] MC**
And that concludes the annual
new hire competition.
**[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?!

*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*

*It's ever so bittersweet*

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?

Good work on your

Good work!

Who's up for round two?!
**[00:07] Ishiyama**
Me!
**[00:08] Shinozaki**
Senpai, do you want to
walk to the station toge—
**[00:10] Shiori**
Shinozaki-san...
**[00:12] Shiori**
Once we're done...
**[00:14] Shiori**
would you like to come do
something naughty with your senpai?
**[00:18] Shinozaki**
*Something naughty?!*
**[00:21] Shinozaki**
*There's a senpai where I work...*
**[00:24] Shinozaki**
*who's tiny and sexy—I mean... cute.*
**[00:31] Chef**
Here you go!
**[00:32] Shiori**
Time to eat!
**[00:34] Shiori**
After having some drinks... late at night...
**[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?!*

Thank you for treating me.

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!
**[01:52] Shiori**
Anyway! You were about to say something?!

Mind if I join you?
**[03:35] Hayakawa**
*My boss at my job... is pleasant
and friendly to everyone.*
**[03:40] Hayakawa**
Okay... sure.
**[03:42] Shiori**
What's this?
**[03:43] Shiori**
Going to lunch together...
Is this a lunch date?
**[03:51] Hayakawa**
N-No!
**[03:52] Manager**
Yep, yep! Let's call it a date!
**[03:55] Hayakawa**
Don't say something like that at the office!
**[03:57] Hayakawa**
What if people start spreading weird rumors?!
**[04:00] Manager**
Considering it's you, Hayakawa-san,
I wouldn't mind.
**[04:08] Hayakawa**
*Wh-Wh-Wh-What's that mean?!*
**[04:10] Hayakawa**
*Considering who said it,
it's probably nothing significant, but...*

Ugh! You just had to
say something, Katase-san!
**[04:18] Shinozaki**
Senpai!
**[04:20] Shinozaki**
I found my wallet, so let's go.

*Mensore*! Here's some Okinawa stuff.
**[04:31] Shinozaki**
Thanks.
**[04:34] Shinozaki**
Did you enjoy the resort?
**[04:36] (Flashback) Ishiyama**
Are you hitting on me?
Aw, but I've got a girlfriend!
**[04:39] (Flashback) Yamagishi(M)**
*Ugh...*

I was transferred,
but I used my paid time off, Yuri-tan!

I'm so glad, Masa-tan!

*Who even does that?*

It was... a real blast...

Console me, Zakishino!
**[04:55] Yamagishi(F)**

**[04:57] Yamagishi(F)**
Could I bug you for a bit after work?
***SIGN*** 40th Anniversary
**[05:02] Yamagishi(M)**

**[05:04] Yamagishi(F)**
Yep! My anthropomorphized
hottie Meowtaro game is finished!
***SIGN*** Doki Doki

**[05:11] Shiori**
It's finally done!
**[05:13] Yamagishi(F)**
And so...
**[05:14] Yamagishi(F)**
I was hoping to have Shinozaki
the gamer play it for a bit!
**[05:19] Yamagishi(M)**
Well, let's get to it, then.
**[05:21] Shinozaki**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Out Front of School
***SIGN*** Meowtaro:
***SIGN*** Hey there. I'm Meowtaro. Nice to meet you.
**[05:27] Shiori**
So you try to romance Meowtaro
from the perspective of a girl?
**[05:31] Shinozaki**
Looks like it.
***SIGN*** I hear you're quite the cook. I'd love to try something you've made.
***SIGN*** Restaurant
***SIGN*** Meat
***SIGN*** Fish
***SIGN*** Vegetables
***SIGN*** Fruit
***SIGN*** Affection
***SIGN*** Meowtaro:
**[05:39] Yamagishi(M)**
You've gotta pick the menu...?
**[05:42] Shinozaki**
Even if he's anthropomorphized,
Meowtaro's a cat.
**[05:45] Shinozaki**
He probably likes fish, right?
**[05:48] Yamagishi(M)**
Probably!
**[05:49] Shinozaki**
Fish it is, then.
***SIGN*** Fish
***SIGN*** Affection
***SIGN*** Fish, huh? That's not bad, but...
***SIGN*** Meowtaro:
***SIGN*** Restaurant
**[05:55] Shinozaki**
Huh?
**[05:56] Shiori**
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!
**[06:04] Yamagishi(M)**
I don't think that's part of the backstory...
**[06:07] Yamagishi(F)**
The best choice is fruit!
***SIGN*** Restaurant
***SIGN*** Fruit
***SIGN*** Affection
***SIGN*** Meowtaro:
***SIGN*** I've never had anything like it...
***SIGN*** You must know about a world I'm unfamiliar with.
**[06:15] Yamagishi(M)**
What does that even mean?
**[06:17] Kurusu**
What are you all doing?
**[06:20] Shiori**
Kurusu-san.
**[06:21] Kurusu**
Office hours are over.
**[06:24] Kurusu**
Why are you all here?
**[06:26] Yamagishi(F)**
I was having them try out
the Meowtaro game I made.
**[06:30] Shiori**
Want to try it, Kurusu-san?
**[06:33] Kurusu**
A Meowtaro game?!
**[06:35] Kurusu**
I do! I want to play! Please let me play it!
***SIGN*** Meowtaro:
***SIGN*** I could steal these lips in a heartbeat.
**[06:40] Shinozaki**
This is it...
**[06:42] Kurusu**
Who?
**[06:43] Yamagishi(F)**
This is anthropomorphic hottie Meowtaro!
**[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.
**[07:16] Kurusu**
This would honestly be better off
as a completely distinct project...
**[07:18] Yamagishi(M)**
Let's keep on playing, Zakishino!
***SIGN*** Roof
***SIGN*** Affection
***SIGN*** Meowtaro:
***SIGN*** The culture festival is ending... There's something I need to tell to you.
**[07:26] Yamagishi(M)**
Are we gonna get a confession
after the festival?!
**[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!
**[07:35] Shinozaki**
*On the rooftop...*
**[07:37] Shiori**
*Meeting in private...*
**[07:41] Both**
*That sounds familiar.*
***SIGN*** Roof
***SIGN*** Affection
***SIGN*** Meowtaro:
***SIGN*** Let's always be good senpai and kohai, okay?
**[07:48] Shinozaki**
*This line...*
**[07:50] Shiori**
*That line...*
**[07:51] (Flashback) Shiori**
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
rationalization... of friendship.*
**[11:24] Hayakawa**
H-Hang on, Manager! Don't turn into

Sounds like Okinawa was pretty rough.

Still, I'm sure getting
to go to Okinawa was nice.

Are you feeling a bit more refreshed?

I guess a little...

**[14:24] Yamagishi(F)**
And then buy merchandise to
commemorate the occasion...
**[14:27] Shinozaki**
*Commemorative merch...*
**[14:30] Shinozaki**
*Nice!*
**[14:32] Shinozaki**
Going to an amusement park sounds fantastic.
**[14:34] Shiori**
It's like friendship utopia.
**[14:37] Yamagishi(F)**
You think? There are a lot of people
with their kids, too.
**[14:41] Yamagishi(F)**
But we're doing something extra this time.
**[14:45] Yamagishi(F)**
Check this out...
**[14:46] Yamagishi(F)**
We've reserved a room at the park's hotel!
**[14:50] Both**
*H-Hotel?!*
**[14:52] Yamagishi(F)**
There's a private lounge with a bar where
you can look at the park while drinking.
**[14:56] Shiori**
*A private lounge with a bar...*
**[15:00] Shiori**
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...
***SIGN*** May
***SIGN*** Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

**[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.
**[19:04] Shiori**
The cute shoes I bought
**[19:07] Shiori**
or the sneakers I've broken in...

Okay!
**[19:26] Shinozaki**
The fashionable look...
**[19:29] Shinozaki**
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—
**[21:57] Shiori**
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.
**[22:23] Manager**
Okay, now get closer together!
**[22:31] Yutaka**
Shiorin! Shiorin!
**[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.
