[00:02] Hayakawa
The changing room is
way too far from the venue...
[00:05] Hayakawa
Maybe it's careless to attend a cosplay
event in the same town where I work.
[00:11] Hayakawa
Well, considering all the foot traffic,
[00:14] Hayakawa
and that it's in the opposite direction from
the office, and it's a day off...

[00:18] Hayakawa
I doubt I'll run into anyone.
[00:20] Akina
Huh? Hayakawa-san?
[00:23] Akina
What a coincidence,
running into you on a day off.
[00:26] Akina
What's up?
[00:36] Hayakawa
My name is Hayakawa Chinatsu, 22 years old...
[00:39] Hayakawa
I'm an office worker in my
first year of employment.
[00:44] Hayakawa
And my boss just found out
about me being an otaku.

Oh, I love you so much, I just have to laugh

We've got an emergency here
[01:09] ---
Are you paying attention, me?
[01:12] ---
There's someone other than me
dancing around inside of my heart
[01:17] ---
I want to talk to her
[01:20] ---
I want to touch her
[01:23] ---
Look, I get it, but for now try to pipe down
[01:29] ---
What in the world am I doing?
[01:31] ---
You're right next to me
[01:34] ---
And this is the perfect chance...

HONEY
[01:42] ---
I'm trapped by that sweet rich taste
[01:47] ---
And I don't think I can ever escape
[01:50] ---
I may as well just sink into it
[01:52] ---
HONEY
[01:53] ---
It's another day in your dazzling presence

We may never be
on the same page with this love but

SIGN #04 When It Comes to Him, I'm Not Sure Yet...
[02:21] Akina
What are you up to, Hayakawa-san?
[02:27] Hayakawa
Y-You've got the wrong person!
I-I'm not Hayakawa, Manager!
[02:31] Akina
You just called me your manager.
SIGN Cosplay Event Reception

[02:33] Hayakawa
Of all the people...
[02:36] Hayakawa
The manager is like the textbook
definition of a normie, too!
[02:44] Akina
Huh. A cosplay event? I see.
[02:49] Akina
Hayakawa-san.
[02:50] Hayakawa
Y-Yes?
[02:51] Akina
Where do you buy an outfit like that?
[02:54] Hayakawa
W-Well, I-I actually made it myself.
[02:59] Hayakawa
I'm done.
[03:01] Hayakawa
It's all over for me...
[03:03] Hayakawa
He's probably wondering
why a grown woman is doing
[03:05] Hayakawa
something like this and thinks it's creepy.
[03:08] Akina
I have to say, Hayakawa-san...
[03:10] Hayakawa
Here it comes! The words every otaku dreads!
[03:13] Hayakawa
I don't wanna hear it! I don't wanna
hear my manager call me creepy!
[03:16] Akina
That's pretty cool, Hayakawa-san.
[03:21] Hayakawa
It is?
[03:24] Akina
Yeah. I think it's really cool.
[03:31] Hayakwa
Wait, how?! What about this is cool?
[03:35] Akina
Your approach to life, maybe?
[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...

[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.

Is it okay if I make this picture

Of course not!

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!

M-Manager! Wearing cat ears at work is...

[16:07] Shinozaki
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.
[20:34] Shiori
'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!
[21:46] ---
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
[22:43] ---
"Just being around you is enough"
[22:47] ---
Becomes my mantra
[22:51] ---
Baby like sugar
[23:00] ---
Baby you're the sugar
