[02:08] Sou
    Sorry, bro.
[02:09] Sou
    About dinner...
[02:11] Sou
    Oh.
[02:13] Sou
    He seems really busy lately.
[02:16] Sou
    Even at home, he's working.
[02:19] Sou
    When he's concentrating,
    he doesn't hear a thing.
[02:23] Sou
    Bro, bro.
[02:25] Sou
    So, I made this gyūdon for dinner, but—
[02:27] Bro
    Thank you!
[02:29] Bro
    Mind if I eat it here?
[02:30] Sou
    Okay.
[02:32] Bro
    Thanks for the food!
[02:32] Sou
    Wait, there's...
SIGN    Chew Chew
[02:37] Sou
    Is it okay?
[02:38] Bro
    What? It's good.
SIGN    Chew
[02:40] Sou
    There's no way it's okay.
[02:44] Girl
    So you're worried your older
    brother's working too hard?
[02:46] Sou
    Yeah.
[02:49] Guy
    What does he do?
[02:50] Sou
    He works for some kind of agency.
[02:52] Girl
    Sounds like he'd be busy.
[02:54] Sou
    Lately, he's been working at home every day.
[02:57] Guy
    It's just the two of you
    in the house, right?
[02:59] Sou
    Yeah, he's letting me stay there.
[03:02] Sou
    When he's concentrating, he doesn't
    worry about food or sleep.
[03:07] Sou
    Yesterday...
SIGN    Even when eating,
    his eyes don't
     leave the
    computer screen...
[03:08] (Flashback) Sou
    So... the salt and sugar...
[03:13] (Flashback) Bro
    Huh? Did you say something?
[03:14] (Flashback) Sou
    Nothing at all!
[03:19] Sou
    I mean, he was so out of it that his
    tastebuds weren't working right.
[03:22] Sou
    I swear, his body is going
    to fail sooner or later.
[03:25] Guy
    I'm sure your gyūdon
     didn't do him any favors.
[03:28] Girl
    Did you eat the gyūdon, too?
[03:31] Sou
    I couldn't do it...
[03:34] Sou
    It looked perfect, though.
[03:37] Guy
    I guess you do worry sometimes, too.
[03:39] Girl
    Yeah, you're usually positive.
[03:41] Sou
    Hey, I do think a lot about of stuff, too.
SIGN    Swoon
SIGN    Pet Pet
[03:45] Sou
    Why?
[03:46] Both
    Reasons.
[03:48] Girl
    Look at you, though! Cooking?
[03:50] Girl
    That's really impressive!
[03:52] Sou
    I'm really bad at it, though.
[03:53] Sou
    Sometimes, my boss at
    work will teach me a bit.
[03:57] (Flashback) Asami
    What?
[03:58] (Flashback) Asami
    You want to learn how to cook?
[04:00] (Flashback) Sou
    Yes, I guess.
[04:02] (Flashback) Asami
    And who are you cooking for?
[04:04] (Flashback) Sou
    Uh, for my big brother.
[04:06] (Flashback) Asami
    Your big brother?
[04:08] (Flashback) Sou
    He always seems so busy,
[04:10] (Flashback) Sou
    so I want to be able to help him out a bit.
[04:11] (Flashback) Asami
    That's so nice!
[04:13] (Flashback) Asami
    I wish Shun would think of me that way.
[04:16] (Flashback) Asami
    You leave it to me!
[04:18] Sou
    My brother takes care of the rent
    and a bunch of other stuff.
[04:22] Sou
    I figured I should at least
    learn how to do some housework.
[04:25] Sou
    So that's why I started to cook.
[04:29] Guy
    What's wrong?
[04:30] Sou
    It's funny that I mixed up
    the salt and the sugar.
[04:32] Sou
    That's just too cliche.
[04:34] Both
    You cracked up with such a delay...
[04:36] Guy
    But if he's so busy, is he
    even eating anything at work?
[04:41] Sou
    Oh, right!
[04:42] Girl
    Oh, maybe you should make him a bento, then.
[04:46] Sou
    A bento...
[04:48] Girl
    But with your cooking skills...
[04:50] Guy
    I think it's fine.
[04:51] Guy
    He did eat Shiki's failed gyūdon.
[04:54] Girl
    You're mean!
[04:55] Sou
    It's true, though.
[04:56] Sou
    Since my brother's sense of taste is
    messed up, this is my time to practice.
[05:00] Sou
    Yeah.
[05:01] Girl
    Just don't take his life.
[05:05] Mima
    Senpai, about yesterday's meeting.
[05:07] Sen
    Sorry, but you'll have to tell me later.
[05:09] Mima
    I understand.
[05:11] Sen
    Yes.
[05:12] Sen
    If the task we're working
    on right now is finished,
[05:14] Mima
    He seems so busy lately.
[05:14] Sen
    we can assign someone right away.
[05:16] Sen
    In the meantime, getting the
    manual ready for sharing...
[05:16] Mima
    I feel like he never takes any breaks,
[05:18] Mima
    so it's impressive that there's no
    sign of exhaustion on his face.
[05:21] Sen
    I mean, you've been tired lately, right?
[05:24] Mima
    He's mindful of others,
[05:26] Mima
    but neglectful of himself.
[05:30] Mima
    Is there anything I can do for him?
SIGN    Twist Effect
SIGN    Ideal softness like a rubber baseball
SIGN    Perfect fit
SIGN    Neck pressure point
SIGN    Relieves hip soreness!
[05:36] Mima
    A physical gift might only cause him trouble.
[05:38] Mima
    Besides, I'm clueless, so
    I wouldn't know what to get.
[05:42] Mima
    Ideally, I could help with his work.
[05:47] Mima
    I recognize that hair.
SIGN    Hazy Hazy
[05:49] Mima
    An acquaintance?
[05:52] Mima
    But Hayate-kun is the only person
    I know who is that young.
[06:00] Sou
    Excuse me.
SIGN    Walk Walk
[06:01] Mima
    He's coming over here.
[06:02] Mima
    Yes?
[06:03] Mima
    I can't remember who this
    is for the life of me.
[06:05] Sou
    Where are the bento boxes?
[06:11] Mima
    They are over there... probably.
[06:13] Sou
    Thank you.
[06:15] Mima
    So apparently, we're close enough
    to start talking just like that.
[06:19] Mima
    Who is this?
[06:20] Sou
    What a cool store employee.
[06:23] Mima
    Are you looking for something for yourself?
[06:25] Sou
    No, for my older brother.
[06:27] Sou
    Should I get one for myself, too?
[06:29] Mima
    Older brother?
SIGN    Clear!
SIGN    Clear!
[06:30] Sou
    Thank you so much!
[06:32] Mima
    By any chance, are you Senpai's—
    Souta-san's—younger brother?
[06:36] Sou
    How did you know?
[06:38] Sou
    Are you some kind of psychic store clerk?
[06:40] Mima
    Uh, I am neither of those things.
[06:42] Mima
    I'm just a regular Mima.
[06:45] Mima
    Are you all right?
[06:46] Sou
    I am.
[06:47] Sou
    I really do apologize.
[06:49] Sou
    I'm sorry I didn't put it together.
[06:52] Sou
    It was dark that night,
[06:54] Sou
    and you had glasses the other day.
[06:56] Mima
    No, if anything, it's my fault for not
    remembering a person as distinct as you.
[07:02] Mima
    You're buying your older
    brother a bento box?
[07:04] Sou
    Yes.
[07:05] Sou
    I was thinking of making him a bento.
[07:08] Sou
    He's been so busy lately,
[07:10] Sou
    I don't want him to neglect eating lunch.
[07:13] Mima
    I see.
[07:14] Mima
    I remember now that he just
    has jellied drinks when he's busy.
SIGN    Slurp
[07:18] Sou
    I can imagine he's not eating proper meals.
[07:22] Mima
    I think you might be right about that.
[07:26] Sou
    I knew it.
[07:27] Mima
    They're a lot alike.
[07:30] Sou
    If you buy a two-set, it's cheaper.
[07:33] Sou
    They would match, but I guess that's okay.
[07:35] (Flashback) Souta
    My little brother.
[07:37] (Flashback) Souta
    One of my comforts.
[07:40] Mima
    Maybe I'm not needed this time around.
[07:47] Mima
    Good luck with the bento.
[07:49] Mima
    I'm sure it'll make Souta-san very happy.
[07:52] Sou
    Yes.
[07:54] Sou
    I'll do my best.
[07:57] Sen
    I'm so damn tired.
[08:02] Sen
    My exhaustion is catching up to me.
[08:04] Sen
    Huh? What's that?
[08:07] Sen
    Souma?
[08:08] Sou
    Good morning.
[08:11] Sou
    I tried my hand at making you bento
[08:13] Sen
    Huh? A bento?
[08:16] Girl
    Shiki-san, is that a bento?
[08:18] Sen
    It sure is.
[08:19] Girl
    Even though your meals
    were so slapdash lately?
[08:21] Girl
    Did you get a girlfriend?
SIGN    Doesn't deny it on purpose
[08:24] Girl
    I knew it, I knew it!
[08:25] Girl
    I mean I've been suspecting it, sort of!
[08:26] Sen
    I've been so busy lately, even at home.
[08:28] Girl
    Remember when we went drinking together?
[08:29] Sen
    Maybe I made him worry,
    since he's so empathetic.
[08:33] Sen
    I guess he's worked hard to get
    to the bento-making level.
[08:40] Sen
    He really is the best.
[08:45] Girl
    Good job!
[08:46] Girl
    You really made one!
[08:47] Sou
    I did.
[08:48] Sou
    I made one for myself while I was at it.
[08:49] Girl
    You kept your promise.
[08:51] Sou
    I picked out the boxes, too.
[08:53] Girl
    Oh wow, so a matching set?
[08:55] Sou
    Only the color of the band differs.
[08:57] Sou
    They happened to be cheaper as a set.
[08:59] Girl
    You two seem really close.
[09:01] Girl
    I'm sure you made him really happy.
[09:03] Sou
    I think I'll keep doing
    this from time to time.
[09:05] Girl
    That's great.
[09:06] Girl
    Maybe I'll step up my cooking game too.
