    Hey!
[00:21] Students
    Okay, right over here.
[00:37] Rin
    Did I take a wrong turn?
[00:44] Rin
    Excuse me!
[00:47] Rin
    Do you know where the room
    for the drama club is?
[00:51] Eiji
    You a new student?
[00:52] Rin
    Yes.
[00:53] Eiji
    Perfect, I happen to be the club's pres...
[00:58] Eiji
    President! Kitahama Eiji.
[01:01] Rin
    Well, I'm Nanakura Rin.
[01:05] Eiji
    Sorry to spring this on you
    when you were hoping to sign up, but...
[01:09] Eiji
    I'm the only member at the moment.
[01:12] Eiji
    It'd be great if you joined,
    but no pressure, okay?
[01:15] Rin
    Okay! Sure...
[01:17] Rin
    Wow, it's like in
    "The Beginning of a Story."
[01:23] Rin
    Anyway, the club room is this way.
[01:25] Rin
    Okay.
[01:26] Eiji
    Well, welcome to Drama!
[01:34] Eiji
    Prez! We got a new recruit, apparently.
[01:37] Rin
    I thought you were the president.
[01:39] Prez
    Eiji... were you messing around, again?
[01:42] Eiji
    Surprise!
[01:44] Eiji
    Whacha think? Just like in
    "The Beginning of a Story", wasn't it?
[01:51] Rin
    He seems kind of weird...
[01:54] Tsu
    So you're looking to join?
[01:55] Rin
    Oh, yes! I'm interested in acting.
[01:58] Prez
    Could you try reading this bit, then?
[02:00] Rin
    R-Right now?
[02:02] Prez
    Yes! Okay, let's begin.
[02:05] Prez
    O, speak again, bright angel, for thou art as
    glorious to this night, being o’er my head,
[02:10] Prez
    as is a winged messenger of heaven!
[02:14] Eiji
    There he goes again...
[02:15] Prez
    Go on, it's your line now. Come on!
[02:28] Rin
    O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
[02:35] Rin
    Deny thy father and refuse thy name,
[02:40] Rin
    and I'll no longer be a Capulet.
[02:47] Rin
    Well...?
[02:49] Prez
    Yep, Romeo here!
[02:53] Tsuu
    What are you doing, President?
[02:56] Prez
    I mean, she kind of bowled me over...
[02:59] Prez
    Uh, what was your name?
[03:01] Rin
    It's Nanakura Rin.
[03:03] Prez
    Nanakura-san, we'd love
    to have you join the club.
[03:09] Rin
    Yes! Thank you so much!
[03:12] Club A
    Why's she thanking him?
[03:14] Club B(Female)
    We're glad to have you!
[03:16] Club C (female)
    That was pretty impressive just now.

    It was fantastic!

    Nice kill!
[05:02] Eiji
    The truth is, all guys wish they could
    be popular at least once in life.
[05:07] Rin
    You're actually interested
    in romance, senpai?
[05:10] Eiji
    Wow, rude!
[05:11] Eiji
    Even I dream about having a harem, y'know.
[05:15] Rin
    A harem...?
[05:19] Imp Rin
    Maybe I should take you out
    for a date sometime, then.
[05:24] Eiji
    What brought that on?
[05:26] Rin
    I-It was acting! I was teasing you
    like one of those impish girls do.
[05:29] Eiji
    Are you acting out a simulated
    harem experience, all for me?!
[05:32] Eiji
    Aw, you're a real sweetheart!
[05:36] TsundeRin
    I-It's not like I was
    doing it for your sake!
[05:40] Eiji
    Your imp act is good,
    but it's hard to say no to a tsundere.
[05:44] Eiji
    I don't know if I'd be able to choose!
[05:48] Eiji
    Now I know how tough
    having a harem would actually be.
[05:51] Eiji
    You've got real acting chops.
[05:53] Rin
    I like acting around you
    for some reason, Senpai.
[05:59] Eiji
    Wait, are you acting now? Or...?
[06:02] Rin
    I-It was acting, of course!
[06:04] Eiji
    Sorry, sorry.
[06:05] Eiji
    But that was the cutest of all!

[06:21] Imp Rin
    That's not gonna work.
[06:22] Imp Rin
    I'm about the only girl who'd
    approach someone making that face.
[06:26] Eiji
    So going for the "taciturn, cool guy who
    handles large props" approach won't work?
[06:30] Eiji
    I think it might be effective
    if I mastered it.
[06:32] Eiji
    Gimme some tips, here!
[06:38] Cool Rin
    Think about the emotional side more.
[06:43] Eiji
    That's what I was going for!
[06:44] Eiji
    How come it's so different when you do it?
[06:46] Eiji
    Is it in the eyes?
[06:49] Eiji
    The quiet act...
[06:50] Eiji
    It's kind of hard to learn anything
    without words, though.
[06:55] Cool Rin
    I don't care.
[06:56] Eiji
    Cool act!
[06:59] Rin
    S-Something like that, maybe?
[07:02] Eiji
    I see what you mean.
    I don't know if I can pull that off.
[07:05] Eiji
    I like talking too much.
[07:07] Eiji
    I'm probably always
    going to be like this, huh?
[07:12] Eiji
    What's so funny?
[07:14] Rin
    It's a secret!
[07:15] Eiji
    Man, I have no idea what I'm doing.
[07:21] Rin
    Senpai, you could take
    a break during lunch, you know.
[07:26] Eiji
    I have to finish these
    before the culture festival.
[07:29] Eiji
    We're desperate for all the help we can get!
[07:31] Eiji
    I might shrivel up at this rate.
[07:34] Eiji
    Even though my whole plan
    was to be a buff stagehand!
[07:42] TsundeRin
    S-Since there's no other choice,
    I'll have to feed you.
[07:45] Eiji
    Getting fed by Tsundere-chan?!
    You sure you're not spoiling me?
[07:48] Eiji
    I'll die tomorrow
    from the luck backlash!
[07:51] Rin
    Eat mine, too.
[07:52] Eiji
    There's no way I deserve
    to be fed by Cool-chan!
[07:55] Eiji
    I'd be locked in for death!
[07:56] Eiji
    By the way, we happen to have this prop...
[08:00] Eiji
    Could you lend... a paw, maybe?
[08:07] Rin
    Sorry...
[08:13] Rin
    M-Meow...
[08:15] Eiji
    Okay! I don't care if I die now!
[08:17] Eiji
    I can't believe you can even act like a cat!
[08:19] Rin
    I'm actually too embarrassed
    to perform right now.
[08:22] Eiji
    I've got it!
[08:23] Eiji
    Huh... wait.
[08:26] Eiji
    My phone's missing.
[08:28] Rin
    Did you lose it?
[08:29] Eiji
    And I was gonna take a picture
    of Rin-chan in those cat ears.
[08:33] Eiji
    This is weird...
[08:36] Rin
    If I call his phone to make it ring,
[08:37] Rin
    I can use that as an excuse
    to get his number!
[08:40] Rin
    Senpai!
[08:42] Rin
    I... I-I-I...
[08:43] Eiji
    What? What is it?
[08:46] Eiji
    What?
[08:48] Imp Rin
    I guess I could call your number,
    but then you'd have mine, wouldn't you?
[08:54] Eiji
    Quit playing around and help me, please!
[08:56] Eiji
    You can have the number, so just call it!
[08:59] Eiji
    I'm begging you!
[09:00] Imp Rin
    I dunno, should I?
[09:02] Eiji
    Aw, fine. It's okay if you don't want it.
[09:05] Rin
    Oh no! I was a little too impish!
[09:08] Eiji
    Maybe I could ask Tsundere-chan?
[09:12] Rin
    H-Hurry up and tell me!
[09:15] Rin
    I'll call your phone, but this
    is a one-time-only deal, got it?!
[09:19] Eiji
    That's my Tsundere-chan.
    So understanding. Thank you.
[09:22] Rin
    I should probably thank
    you too, Tsundere-chan.
[09:27] Eiji
    There it is.
[09:32] Eiji
    Found it!
[09:33] Rin
    That's great.
[09:35] Eiji
    Hello?
[09:37] Rin
    Hello? Senpai, what is it?
[09:40] Eiji
    Oh, nothing big,
[09:43] Eiji
    I just wanted to thank you.
[09:45] Eiji
    I appreciate you helping me find my phone.
[09:51] Rin
    That's the kind of call you
    usually make in the evening, Senpai.
[10:05] Rin
    Huh?
[10:08] Rin
    Are you the only one around, Senpai?
[10:09] Eiji
    Yeah, everyone else is in the gymnasium.
[10:11] Rin
    I see.
[10:15] Rin
    Hey, Senpai...
[10:16] Rin
    Could you help me out with this art project?
[10:19] Rin
    You're good with that sort of thing, right?
[10:23] Rin
    Could you...?
[10:25] Eiji
    Is that really how you ask someone for help?
[10:30] Rin
    S-Sorry!
[10:32] Rin
    Um, w-what should I do?
[10:35] Eiji
    I'm begging you, ask as Cool-chan this time!
[10:41] Cool Rin
    You're the only one I can turn to.
[10:44] Eiji
    I-I guess I better help then!
[10:46] Eiji
    What do you need to know?
[10:48] Rin
    He looks like he's having fun.
[10:55] Rin
    It's from Romeo and Juliet.
[10:57] Eiji
    And this is...
[10:59] Eiji
    What is it?
[11:00] Rin
    Romeo and Juliet.
[11:02] Rin
    I wasn't sure how to get
    the colors right for sunset...
[11:05] Eiji
    That's your concern?
[11:06] Eiji
    Why try such a complicated picture?
[11:11] Spoiled Rin
    Aw, but I don't know anything about art!
[11:15] Spoiled Rin
    You're such a good artist,
    it'd be great if you did it!
[11:18] Eiji
    Who was that?!
[11:19] Rin
    It was... um... the spoiled girl...
[11:22] Eiji
    That's one hell of a secret weapon!
[11:24] Rin
    I-It's my desperation move, so...
[11:28] Rin
    He redid all the colors for me.
[11:33] Tsu
    And behind him was a woman standing
    silently in a white kimono...
[11:40] Tsu
    And at her feet... a massive swell of water!
[11:47] Eiji
    Damn!
[11:48] Eiji
    You're a pro at scary stories, Tsuu-chan.
[11:51] Eiji
    I guess that's what being
    a writer does for you.
[11:53] Tsu
    You're the scariest one here, man.
[11:54] Eiji
    Don't you agree...
[11:56] Eiji
    Huh. You okay?
SIGN    Dead
[12:00] Prez
    Remember to lock up, all right?
[12:02] Eiji
    Sure!
[12:03] Club B
    Take care!
[12:04] Eiji
    Sure...?
[12:07] Eiji
    Can't believe it spooked you so bad
    you're afraid to change on your own.
[12:11] TsundeRin
    I-It's not like I was afraid or anything!
[12:14] TsundeRin
    B-But keep talking to me! Okay?!
[12:17] Rin
    W-What is it, Senpai?!
[12:20] Eiji
    The idea of Tsundere-chan being
    scared has got me so hyped!
[12:24] Eiji
    Is Spoiled-chan in there, too?!
[12:29] Spoiled Rin
    I'm so scared!
[12:31] Spoiled Rin
    You can't leave me alone, okay, Senpai?
[12:35] Rin
    You're going to break the door!
[12:37] Eiji
    I kind of want to, just to see
    what kind of face you're making!
[12:40] Eiji
    Dammit!
[12:42] Rin
    Honestly...
[12:44] Rin
    Huh. I'm not scared anymore.
[12:47] Eiji
    I don't suppose impish Rin-chan
    is in there too, is she?!
[12:50] Rin
    I can't finish changing
    if you keep interrupting me...

    Wow, I had no idea.
[13:09] Rin
    Excuse me...
[13:10] Female Student A
    What's up?
[13:11] Rin
    Is... Kitahama-senpai around?
[13:13] Female Student A
    Oh, Kitahama's napping over there.
[13:16] Female Student A
    Feel free to wake him.
[13:17] Female Student A
    We should go.
[13:18] Female Student B
    Sure.
[13:20] Female Student B
    Seeya, Rin-chan.
[13:21] Female Student A
    Bye!
[13:22] Rin
    Oh... have a nice day.
[13:23] Female Student B
    She's cute, isn't she?
[13:24] Female Student A
    More than Kitahama deserves.
[13:28] Rin
    Um, Senpai?
[13:30] Rin
    The club meeting's started...
[13:33] Imp Rin
    If you don't wake up,
    I'm gonna play a prank on you.
[13:38] Rin
    He really isn't waking up.
[13:39] Rin
    I really could play a prank on him!
[13:42] Rin
    No, no!
[13:43] Rin
    I need to stop thinking like Imp-chan.
[13:45] Spoiled Rin
    You'd forgive me even if I did pull
    a prank on you, right, Senpai?
[13:52] Rin
    I think a lack of response
    makes this way more embarrassing.
[13:56] Eiji
    Shoot, is it time for club already?
[13:58] Rin
    He almost saw me as Spoiled-chan!
    That was a close one!
[14:03] Eiji
    You went out of your way to get me?
[14:06] Eiji
    Sorry about that...
[14:09] Eiji
    Why are you holding my hand?
[14:12] Rin
    I-Imp-chan and the others
    were playing a prank on you earlier!
[14:15] Rin
    Yeah.
[14:16] Eiji
    They what?!
[14:18] Eiji
    I'm going back to sleep.
[14:21] Eiji
    Our drama club president's best...
[14:24] Eiji
    Romeo face!
[14:27] Rin
    It's quite the face all right!
[14:29] Eiji
    I've got it as my wallpaper,
    but I'm kinda tired of it.
[14:33] Eiji
    Could I trouble the drama club's rising star
    for a picture with her cutest face?
[14:43] Spoiled Rin
    I want a picture of you too, Senpai!
[14:46] Eiji
    Perfect!
[14:50] Eiji
    Wait, this looks different...
[14:52] TsundeRin
    This is a special occasion, okay?!
[14:54] TsundeRin
    And you better not take a weird picture!
[14:58] Eiji
    What is going on here, rising star?
[15:00] Rin
    This is too much,
    even as a favor to you, Senpai!
[15:03] Rin
    It's too embarrassing!
[15:04] Prez
    What're you two fooling around with?
[15:05] Eiji
    Prez.
[15:07] Eiji
    Nanakura's too embarrassed and
    her expressions keep coming out weird.
[15:10] Prez
    What? That's no good.
[15:13] Rin
    Sorry....
[15:14] Eiji
    Show her how it's done, Prez!
[15:17] Prez
    Very well then.
[15:19] Prez
    Full power!
[15:22] Eiji
    I got it.
[15:23] Eiji
    The rising star of the
    drama club's golden smile.
[15:26] Prez
    Nice! Send it to me too, would you?
[15:29] Rin
    Please, don't!
[15:35] Eiji
    How'd you do on midterms, anyway?
[15:37] Rin
    Decently, I think...
[15:40] Rin
    What about you, Senpai?
[15:43] Rin
    Senpai...?
[15:44] Eiji
    I-If you insist! I'll show you! But this is a
    special occasion! Don't ask again, got it?!
[15:49] Rin
    Tsundere-senpai?
[15:52] Eiji
    Now it's your turn, Nanakura!
[15:54] Rin
    I have to show you mine?
[15:56] Eiji
    It's called sharing the shame!
[15:58] Rin
    What are you talking about?
[16:02] Cool Rin
    Can you keep a secret?
[16:04] Eiji
    You seriously think I'd spill a secret
    from Cool-chan without a fight?!
[16:08] Eiji
    I'm not that stupid!
[16:10] Eiji
    Those are some really bad math scores.
[16:12] Rin
    So are yours...
[16:15] Eiji
    Imp-chan seems like she'd be
    pretty calculating, though.
[16:19] Imp Rin
    I wasn't paying attention in class so
    I could get you to tutor me, Senpai.
[16:24] Eiji
    Hell yeah!
[16:24] Eiji
    I'm going to cram school starting tomorrow!
    Time to get serious!
[16:27] Rin
    Cram school?!
[16:27] Rin
    Maybe I should study more, too...
[16:30] Eiji
    Nah, you shouldn't change a thing, Nanakura.
[16:34] Eiji
    I wanna get smart so I can teach you.
[16:38] Eiji
    Math for Imp-chan,
    Japanese history for Tsundere-chan,
[16:41] Eiji
    science for Spoiled-chan,
    and social studies for Cool-chan.
[16:46] Rin
    I'm just going to study instead!
[17:03] Rin
    Excuse me...?
[17:04] Eiji
    I got into a cooking battle with Tsuu-chan
    in our self studies period for home ec.
[17:07] Eiji
    He's got the lead right now
    with the Prez's vote, so...
[17:11] Tsu
    We want you to vote too, Nanakura.
[17:13] Prez
    And we'll announce who made what
    afterwards, to keep it impartial.
[17:17] Rin
    I'm not exactly a gourmet...
[17:20] Eiji
    Just go with whichever you prefer.
[17:24] Eiji
    Now, let the judging begin!
[17:29] Rin
    A tastes like it was made
    according to the recipe,
[17:32] Rin
    but B has a bit of a twist to it...
[17:34] Rin
    Huh. Hang on.
[17:35] Rin
    If I choose whichever I like better,
    and end up not choosing Senpai's cooking...
[17:39] Rin
    That'd be like saying
    he's not to my liking?!
[17:43] Rin
    I have to guess which one is his!
[17:46] Rin
    No! I will guess correctly!
[17:49] Rin
    He doesn't seem the type to stick
    to the recipe, so is it B?!
[17:52] Rin
    No, he might've followed
    the directions to win the contest!
[17:56] Rin
    Senpai... Senpai would—
[17:59] Eiji
    Nanakura—!
[18:03] Eiji
    This is technically our lunch, so...
[18:08] Eiji
    Now, which is it?!
[18:10] Rin
    B!
[18:11] Rin
    I like B more!
[18:13] Prez
    That's Eiji's cooking!
[18:16] Rin
    Yay!
[18:17] Eiji
    Uh, shouldn't I be celebrating?
[18:21] Shu
    I guess it's a draw.
[18:22] Prez
    And we're out of people to ask.
[18:25] Rin
    Sorry...
[18:27] Eiji
    Now, hang on, what
    if we got Spoiled-chan to vote?
[18:31] Rin
    I can't do that embarrassing
    act in front of actual people!
[18:34] Eiji
    Aren't I a person?
[18:35] Rin
    Look, I just can't!
[18:37] Eiji
    But everyone would be so impressed!
[18:40] Rin
    No!
[18:41] Tsu
    Who's Spoiled-chan?
[18:43] Prez
    Kind of... a little act that
    Nanakura puts on sometimes.
[18:46] Tsu
    I see.
[18:47] Eiji
    Hey, what if I treat you to lunch?
[18:50] Rin
    I already ate!
[18:53] Rin
    Have you decided what to wear
    for the inter-club relay race yet, Senpai?

[18:57] Eiji
    I've got it!
[18:58] Eiji
    This is definitely the one.
[19:02] Eiji
    Don't you think it'd be perfect?
[19:05] Eiji
    On Tsundere-chan!
[19:07] Rin
    Excuse me?
[19:08] Eiji
    I think dressing like a princess
    is a natural fit for a tsundere...
[19:11] Eiji
    And then Cool-chan in Japanese clothes.
[19:14] Eiji
    As for Imp-chan...
[19:15] Rin
    Senpai, I'd be running
    the race by myself in that case.
[19:18] Eiji
    And?
[19:20] Rin
    Please, just pick one!
[19:23] Eiji
    You mean I have to choose?!
[19:27] Eiji
    Only one... only one...?
[19:30] Rin
    What about the real me, then?
[19:33] Eiji
    Gotta be loungewear!
[19:34] Rin
    Loungewear?!
[19:35] Rin
    But it's supposed to be a costume...
[19:37] Rin
    Loungewear or nothing!
[19:38] Rin
    I've always wondered what
    actresses wear at home!
[19:41] Rin
    But... it's just normal t-shirts and stuff.
[19:44] Rin
    Nothing worth showing off.
[19:51] Eiji
    Like that? Or that? Maybe that... or this?
[19:55] Eiji
    Yeah, loungewear it is!
[19:58] Eiji
    No.
[20:06] Rin
    Am I trying too hard with the hair?
[20:09] Rin
    I wonder what Senpai will think.
[20:15] Eiji
    Nanakura?
[20:16] Rin
    Oh, Senpai, good mor—
[20:19] Eiji
    Whoa, what happened to your head?!
SIGN    Follicle Disaster
[20:21] Rin
    I should be asking you!
[20:23] Eiji
    Man, you look good no matter
    how you do your hair, Imp-chan.
[20:28] Imp Rin
    Maybe I should do my hair
    how you like it next, Senp...
[20:32] Rin
    I'm sorry, I have to know
    what caused that bedhead.
[20:36] Eiji
    You look good no matter how you do
    your hair, Spoiled-chan!
[20:38] Rin
    I'm sorry, I have to know
    what caused that bedhead!
[20:41] Eiji
    Well, I wasn't expecting you
    to be showing your forehead off!
[20:44] Eiji
    If I had known I would've fixed my hair,
    even if it made me late!
[20:47] Eiji
    I can't believe my idiotic bedhead
    is stealing your amazing forehead gag!
[20:52] Eiji
    I'm so sorry!
[20:53] Rin
    It's... not a gag, though.
[20:56] Eiji
    Man, I've got no appeal
    and no smoothness at all.
[20:58] Rin
    That's what happens when you oversleep.
[21:01] Eiji
    You were running through my thoughts,
    so I couldn't sleep at night!
[21:06] Rin
    Don't try to be smooth
    with your hair like that, please!
[21:09] Eiji
    Hey, making you smile
    is enough to satisfy me.
[21:14] Rin
    Cut it out!
[21:21] Prez
    Romeo, just call me Romeo.
[21:23] Club B
    But you're not Romeo?
[21:25] Eiji
    So cold...
[21:35] TsundeRin
    I-I only did it because I'm not cold!
[21:38] TsundeRin
    And I can't have you getting sick.
[21:42] Eiji
    I'm so psyched up
    that I'm feeling warmer now!
[21:46] Cool Rin
    If you get sick, I'll take care of you.
[21:54] Eiji
    That's the kinda thing I oughta be saying...
[21:57] Eiji
    It'd definitely get me girls.
[22:04] Eiji
    All right, back to the grind.
[22:10] Rin
    Maybe I should dress lighter tomorrow...
[22:11] Rin
    T-Twelve?!
SIGN    Tomorrow's Weather
SIGN    Cloudy
[22:16] Rin
    I'll have to hang in there tomorrow.
