[01:39] Himuro
    These are the components of "love"

    And, at this point, we haven't proven
    heart rate is one of the elements yet.

[01:46] Yukimura
    We don't have enough sample data to
    calculate the base conditions for "love."
[01:50] Yukimura
    Our knowledge of romance
    is severely lacking.
[01:53] Yukimura
    The first thing we need to do
    is find someone who is in love!

[02:09] Kanade
    Morning, Kosuke-kun.
[02:11] Inukai
    'Sup?
[02:12] Himuro
    I haven't seen you in a while.
    Were you with your soccer club?
[02:15] Inukai
    I already retired from that.
[02:18] Inukai
    I've just been out enjoying
    the nightlife a bit is all.
[02:20] Inukai
    And you, my senpai, have you gotten all
    fired up about any research lately?
[02:23] Yukimura
    Perfect timing.
[02:25] Yukimura
    Kosuke, I have a question for you.
[02:27] Yukimura
    Are you in love with anyone?
[02:32] Inukai
    That's a foolish question.
[02:34] Inukai
    I'm a man who lives on love!
[02:37] Inukai
    The number of women I've loved
    is impossible to count.
[02:40] Yukimura
    That's a great help.
[02:42] Yukimura
    In that case, who are you
    in love with currently?
[02:46] Inukai
    Her name is Aika. My lover who
    lives in a far, distant world.
[02:50] Himuro
    A distant world...
SIGN    Love'
     ｛Kosuke love, Aika｝
[02:52] Himuro
    What they call a "long-distance
    relationship," then...
[02:54] Yukimura
    And what proof leads you to determine
    that you love this Aika?
[02:58] Inukai
    Proof?
[03:00] Inukai
    Hmm... Let's see...
[03:02] Inukai
    Just being with her is fun,
    and my heart feels like it's racing!
[03:07] Inukai
    I suppose... that's what
    people call "happiness."
[03:12] Himuro
    I understand, Kosuke-kun.
[03:15] Himuro
    I feel the same way when
    I'm with Yukimura-kun.
[03:18] Himuro
    When I'm with him, everything is fun.
[03:20] Himuro
    When I'm with him, my heart races.
[03:22] Himuro
    These seem likely to be
    the base conditions for love.
[03:28] Yukimura
    What else?
[03:29] Yukimura
    If possible, something with a
    numerical value would be preferred.
[03:32] Inukai
    A numerical value?
[03:35] Inukai
    Oh!
[03:36] Inukai
    For Aika, I've ended up spending
    a total of about 227,000 yen,
[03:41] Inukai
    but that's only to be expected, isn't it?
[03:44] Himuro
    Two hundred twenty-seven... thousand yen?
[03:47] Himuro
    The amount of money I've
    spent on Yukimura-kun is...
[03:50] (Flashback) Himuro
    It's not like there's anyone else
    giving you birthday presents, is there?
[03:53] (Flashback) Yukimura
    You always say one thing too much.
[03:55] Himuro
    ...pretty much only the 728 yen
    notebook I gave him last year.
[04:01] Himuro
    Even if it is only one factor,
SIGN    yen
SIGN    Love' ｛Himuro love, Yukimura｝

[04:03] Himuro
    a simple calculation shows a 311.8-fold gap.
SIGN    311.8 times
[04:06] Himuro
    Is that how much stronger
    Kosuke's feelings are?
[04:10] Kosuke
    Also, and this is obvious, too, but...
[04:12] Kosuke
    Every night for the last
    two years, without fail,
[04:15] Kosuke
    I've held her in my arms.
[04:17] Himuro
    H-Held her...?
[04:19] Himuro
    It can't be...
[04:21] Himuro
    I've never once held Yukimura-kun
    and fallen asleep with him...
[04:25] Himuro
    Wait. I did.
[04:26] Himuro
    It happened once.
SIGN    Love' ｛Himuro love, Yukimura｝
SIGN    Love' ｛Kosuke love, Aika｝
[04:28] Himuro
    But, every night for more than two years?
[04:29] chibi Kousuke
    Hup!
[04:31] Himuro
    Which means, 365 x 2...
[04:34] Himuro
    730 times!
[04:36] Himuro
    The index of him holding her is
    at least 730 times that of mine!
SIGN    times*!!
[04:40] Himuro
    Th-This can't be...
[04:43] Himuro
    Several pieces of evidence lead me to*
    conclude that I might love Yukimura-kun, but...
[04:47] Himuro
    Looking at it objectively,
    I might have been mistaken.
[04:55] Himuro
    Is this the true form of a person in love?
[04:58] Himuro
    If you don't feel at least that much,
    is it wrong to call it "love"?
[05:02] Ibarada
    When you say "Aika-chan,"
    do you mean this girl?
SIGN    Rika Koi
    Another
[05:04] Inukai
    Ibarada! Where'd you come from?!
[05:07] Inukai
    Give it back!
[05:08] Ibarada
    You really do love your tsundere
    characters, don't you, Torasuke?
[05:11] Inukai
    Silence, Ibarada!
[05:12] Inukai
    What do you know about my preferences?!
[05:14] Ibarada
    Childhood "friends" who
    can't get rid of each other.
[05:17] Ibarada
    We've been together since we were kids.
[05:19] Ibarada
    Do I really need to prove it at this point?
[05:21] Kanade
    Oh! This character is Aika-chan, right?
[05:24] Kanade
    She reminds me a little of Ibarada-senpai—
[05:27] Inukai
    That's the version for the second
    playthough! Blast! Did it autoplay?
[05:31] Yukimura
    What? When you said you were in love,
    you were talking about that thing?
[05:34] Inukai
    Well... Um...
[05:36] Yukimura
    Explain the preconditions
    clearly and precisely.
[05:42] Inukai
    Yeah! That's right!
[05:44] Inukai
    Aika is a character from a gal game!
[05:46] Inukai
    Of all the women I have loved in my life,
[05:48] Inukai
    all of them are 2D!
[05:49] Inukai
    And the 227,000 yen I spent was on this!
SIGN    Mashiro Aika 1/8 size figure ¥12,778
    Mashiro Aika: cell phone strap ¥525
    Mashiro Aika T-shirt ¥2,500
    Mashiro Aika Body pillow cover ¥15,800
    The amount of money spent to pull
    Aika from the game collab event ¥127,200
    Total ¥ 227,542
[05:52] Inukai
    Without her body pillow,
    I couldn't fall asleep, so...
[05:55] Inukai
    All my interests have been exposed!
[05:59] Ibarada
    Huh... So you did all that thinking
    you were keeping it hidden?
[06:02] (Flashback) Inukai
    You're beautiful as ever today, Aika.
[06:06] Yukimura
    In InfoSci, it's not particularly unusual
    to have otaku-type interests, is it?
[06:09] Yukimura
    There's no need to hide it.
[06:13] Inukai
    You say that,
[06:15] Inukai
    but people who are satisfied with an offline
    life stare at you like you're crazy.
[06:18] Inukai; background
    Kiss...
[06:19] Inukai
    And if you say that every morning you
    give your pillow a good morning kiss...
[06:23] Inukai
    most people freak out, like it's totally creepy!
[06:25] Kanade
    Well, yeah.
SIGN    Rikakoi
[06:27] Inukai
    I do understand.
[06:28] Inukai
    Falling in love with a 2D character
    is creepy. I know that much.
[06:32] Yukimura
    Creepy?
[06:34] Yukimura
    If you consider yourself a science-type,
[06:36] Yukimura
    then do not make determinations based
    on ridiculous emotional arguments.
[06:40] Yukimura
    "Romance can only occur between two humans."
[06:43] Yukimura
    There is no definition or
    rule which states this.
[06:46] Yukimura
    Human sexual orientation is diverse.
[06:48] Yukimura
    There is no right or wrong in that.
SIGN    Pretty 2D Girl
[06:51] Yukimura

SIGN    Doesn't Poop
[06:59] Yukimura
    Including the point that it's nearly
    impossible that you would ever date them.
SIGN    Pretty Costume
[07:04] Yukimura
    Which means...
[07:05] Yukimura
    you saying you're in love with Aika,
[07:07] Yukimura
    and any random person you
    might find on the street saying,
[07:09] Yukimura
    "I wanna date someone from AKBeep!"
    are in essence the same thing.
[07:13] Yukimura
    There is nothing strange about you!
[07:18] Inukai
    Amazing!
[07:19] Inukai
    He's totally made a logical
    affirmation of my interests!
[07:22] Inukai
    Yukimura-senpai's science
    powers truly are awesome!
[07:27] Inukai
    Thanks, Yukimura-senpai.
[07:29] Inukai
    I feel like a load's been taken off my chest.
[07:32] Inukai
    Now, I can once again live by
    love as I have always done!
[07:38] Inukai
    Aika!
[07:41] Yukimura
    What's wrong, Himuro? Do you
    have a refutation or something?
[07:44] Himuro
    I don't know what to do. I might not
    be in love with you, Yukimura-kun.
[07:48] Yukimura
    What?
[07:49] Yukimura
    How did you arrive at that conclusion?
[07:51] Himuro
    If Kosuke-kun's love is close to the general
    prerequisites for the condition,
SIGN    Love'
    ｛A love, B｝ pillow
    
    Index representing
    the number of times
    A has slept with a
    pillow of B.
SIGN    Love'
     ｛A love, B｝ money
    
    Index representing the amount of money A has spent on B.
[07:55] Himuro
    then I'm nowhere near reaching them.
[07:57] Yukimura
    But, that's only if Kosuke
    represents the norm!
[08:07] Yukimura
    Kosuke.
[08:08] Inukai
    Yes?
[08:09] Yukimura
    I am making a retraction.
[08:11] Yukimura
    You are strange!
[08:12] Inukai
    What?!
[08:13] Yukimura
    I said that loving a 2D character and
    a famous person were the same,
[08:16] Yukimura
    but there aren't many people who
    would have a body pillow
[08:18] Yukimura
    of a famous person they
    love for over two years.
[08:20] Inukai
    Wait, what about all that emotion
    and determination I had just now,
[08:23] Inukai
    Yukimura-senpai?!
[08:24] Yukimura
    In a word, your love is excessive.
[08:28] Inukai
    What?!
[08:37] Kanade
    What's wrong, Himuro-senpai?
[08:39] Himuro
    Nothing. I'm all right.
[08:42] Himuro
    Kosuke-kun's "love" was deemed excessive,
[08:45] Himuro
    so it isn't certain that my love,
    which is less than his,
[08:49] Himuro
    would be deemed as not
    reaching normal levels...
[08:51] Kanade
    D-Don't worry! Please, believe in yourself!
[08:55] Kanade
    Come on, chin up. Let's go with that
    dignity you always carry yourself with!
[08:59] Himuro
    Th-Thank you, Kanade-chan.
[09:06] Himuro
    A long, long time ago,
[09:08] Himuro
    there was someone who said the same
    things you say to me, Kanade-chan.
[09:11] Kanade
    Said the same things?
[09:13] Himuro
    I... used to get bullied.
[09:17] Himuro
    Because I was the kind of child who
    would spend all day studying pillbugs.
[09:22] Kanade
    S-So, you've always been a science-type!
[09:25] Kanade
    Oh, man! Did I step on a land mine?
[09:27] Himuro
    But, you know...
[09:29] Himuro
    I met someone, and I changed.
[09:32] Himuro
    Someone whose name I don't know.
    Someone I looked up to.
[09:35] (Flashback) background
    You're going to make it again right?
[09:38] (Flashback) background
    Well, in that case.

    Right. Left. Right. Left.
[10:03] (Flashback) elementary school Himuro
    I knew it!
[10:13] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    Researching a pillbug's tendency to switch
    directions when reacting to stimulus, I see.
[10:19] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    When pillbugs turn right at a corner,
    they turn left at the next corner,
[10:24] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    and they continue to alternate directions.
    This is a trait they possess.
[10:26] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    It is, indeed, quite interesting.
SIGN    baldy four-eyes nerd
[10:31] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    It seems that you, like myself,
    have set your sights on science.
[10:38] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    What? What is it you want to say?
[10:45] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    Oh, this?
[10:47] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    It's of an inferior level,
    and the vocabulary is lacking.
SIGN    baldy four-eyes nerd
[10:49] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    Just infantile harassment of my incompetent
    classmates. I pay it no mind.
[10:55] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    Always deal with things
    calmly and intellectually.
[10:59] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    That is what a science-type is, after all.
[11:05] (Flashback) elementary school Himuro
    I... don't think... I can become like that...
[11:11] (Flashback) elementary school Himuro
    I just...
[11:12] (Flashback) elementary school Himuro
    I just like observing pillbugs
    and stuff, that's all...
[11:15] (Flashback) elementary school Himuro
    But everyone says I'm weird.
[11:18] (Flashback) elementary school Himuro
    They say it's creepy.
[11:21] (Flashback) elementary school Himuro
    They say they hate me...
    that they don't need me...
[11:25] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    Are you stupid?
[11:27] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    Loving to observe plants and animals and
    their interactions with their environment,
[11:30] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    shows, without a doubt, that you possess the
    same disposition toward science that I do.
[11:36] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    This was published by MEXT.
    The university entrance rate for 2005.
[11:41] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    In any given year, the sciences
    exhibit a high level of entrance.
[11:45] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    And in recent years,
[11:46] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    female acceptance rates have
    begun to surpass those of males.
[11:50] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    From this point, because their
    overall numbers are low,
[11:53] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    science girls will be needed more than ever.
[11:55] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    That means that your future is rosy!
[11:58] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    Additionally, the fact that people
    hate you is not the pillbugs' fault.
[12:02] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    It's because you have a gloomy appearance!
[12:05] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    Psychologically speaking,
    it's called a "halo effect"...
[12:08] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    There is a tendency for physical appearance
[12:08] (Flashback) creepy man
    Please... look...
[12:10] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    to influence the way other
    traits are perceived.
[12:11] (Flashback) creepy man
    Pillbugs are fascinating...
[12:13] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    Your level of gloominess causes people's
    perception of your observations to be negative.
[12:14] (Flashback) nice young man
    Please, take a look.
[12:15] (Flashback) nice young man
    Pillbugs have a very interesting
    form of locomotion.
[12:18] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    Stand up!
[12:19] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    Cut your bangs!
[12:20] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    Get your physical appearance in order.
[12:22] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    Keep your head up and always move forward
    boldly, with beauty and dignity!
[12:29] (Flashback) elementary school Yukimura
    If you do, then a pillbug or two will
    do nothing to overshadow that beauty.
[12:37] Himuro
    I couldn't ask that boy
    what his name was, but...
[12:42] Himuro
    Like him, always intellectual and logical,
[12:46] Himuro
    and above that, dignified,
    a cool science-type...
[12:49] Himuro
    I wanted to be like that one day.
[12:52] Kanade
    Well, it seems you managed to do it.
[12:54] Kanade
    Himuro-senpai, you're beautiful and
    cool, exactly the way you described.
[12:59] Himuro
    Thank you, Kanade-chan.
[13:01] Himuro
    I feel I'm still only partway there.
[13:03] Himuro
    I can't prove I'm in love.
[13:06] Himuro
    Numerically, I fall far behind Kosuke-kun...
[13:09] Himuro
    At this rate, I won't be able to face
    the person who helped me, will I?
[13:18] Yukimura
    What kind of unloveable brat was that?
[13:21] Yukimura
    There's embarrassing,
    but there should be limits.
[13:25] Kanade
    Yukimura-senpai...
[13:27] Himuro
    I found him incredibly wonderful.
[13:30] Yukimura
    When I was in elementary school,
    I was in Kounosu, too.
[13:33] Yukimura
    If I'd ever met him back then,
    I'd have won any argument, no question.
[13:36] Himuro
    I can't believe you'd ever
    have beat him, Yukimura-kun.
[13:41] Kanade
    I mean...
[13:43] Kanade
    It's totally obvious that the kid
    has to have been Yukimura-senpai!
[13:46] Kanade
    Why can't these two figure that out?
[13:49] Yukimura
    According to data from MEXT,
[13:51] Yukimura
    the difference between science and
    liberal arts entrance rates is 0.7%.
[13:54] Yukimura; background
    This is not data which shows a
    certain superiority in science.
[13:55] Kanade
    This means that Himuro-senpai
    met this person 13 years ago.
[13:57] Yukimura; background
    The logic doesn't hold up.
[13:59] Himuro; background
    Why are you competing with
    an elementary schooler?
[14:00] Kanade
    She idolized Yukimura-senpai,
    and turned out the way she is now.
[14:02] Himuro; background
    Besides, the important
    thing in that presentation
[14:03] Kanade
    Then, without realizing it, she met him
    again and fell in love with him again!
[14:04] Himuro; background
    wasn't how accurate the logic was,
[14:06] Himuro; background
    it was how persuasive I found it.
[14:08] Yukimura
    The burden of proof lies
    with you, doesn't it?
[14:08] Kanade
    Would you two just get married already?!
[14:10] Himuro
    It's supposed to be joint
    research, isn't it?
[14:13] Kanade
    I have something I want
    to say to the both of you.
[14:16] Kanade
    The reason your research isn't progressing
    is because what you're doing isn't normal.
[14:21] Kanade
    Let's do what's normal.
[14:24] Kanade
    Let's send the two of you on a date.

    A date?
[14:37] Ibarada
    A date, huh?
[14:39] Kanade
    Normal is best, after all.
[14:41] Kanade
    When people fall in love, the first thing they
    do is go on dates to deepen their relationship.
[14:45] Kanade
    That's normal, isn't it?
[14:49] Yukimura
    You have a point.
[14:51] Yukimura
    So, Kanade...
[14:52] Yukimura
    What is the definition of a date?
[14:54] Kanade
    I knew this was coming!

[15:06] Kanade
    Takahashi-sensei!
[15:11] Kanade
    Hata-kun couldn't come after all.
[15:14] Takahashi
    I suppose that can't be helped.
    We'll be going with just us then.
[15:17] Kanade
    Okay!
[15:18] Takahashi
    The venue for the science and math
    forum is a bit of a walk from here.
[15:21] Kanade
    Okay.
[15:24] Kanade
    It's a club activity,
    but I'm alone with him.
[15:29] Kanade
    Is this a date? It is a
    date, isn't it? Yeah.
[15:32] Kanade
    He might not think of it that way,
[15:35] Kanade
    but since we're a male and female
    going out, just the two of us,
[15:37] Kanade
    by my definition, it's a date!
[15:42] Kanade
    O wind! Carry my feelings
    so that he might know them!
[15:47] Kanade
    Now, this moment, will forever
    be held in my heart.
[15:51] Kanade
    Just as flowers bloom, so will my love.
[15:56] Kanade
    This wonderful time I spend with you...
[15:58] Kanade
    Yes! Time as sweet as honey!
[16:04] Himuro
    Kanade-chan. What's wrong?
[16:07] Kanade
    Apologies. I just remembered
    something from my dark past.
[16:11] Kanade
    But, well, a date is generally
[16:13] Kanade
    something where a man and a woman
    plan to do something together.
[16:16] Inukai
    If it's a date, leave it to me,
[16:18] Inukai
    to this man who lives by love.
[16:21] Inukai
    Allow me to instruct you.

    Let's go, Kosuke!
[16:34] Inukai
    Sure.
[16:34] Aika
    I can't believe you're
    scared of roller coasters.
[16:37] Inukai
    What?
[16:38] Aika
    O-O-Of course I'm not scared!
[16:40] Aika
    I'm just supporting you because
    you're so freaked out!
[16:43] Inukai
    I thought that might be it.
[16:47] Aika
    Thank you, Kosuke.
[16:50] Aika
    I'm glad we came together.
[16:53] Inukai
    So am I.

    What?! How could you tell?

[17:04] Ibarada
    There's no way this stupid otaku numskull

[17:10] Ibarada
    Are you listening? This is what a date is...

SIGN    Ibarada Ena's Example
[17:19] Yukimura
    Why did you invite me today?
[17:22] Himuro-kun
    Well, why do you think?
[17:33] Himuro-kun
    Are you afraid?
[17:35] Yukimura
    Of course I'm not—
[17:40] Inukai
    Hey!
[17:41] Inukai
    Who the heck are you?
    It's turned into a BL story!
[17:45] Yukimura
    Who is this man?
[17:47] Ibarada
    That's Himuro Ayami-kun.
[17:49] Ibarada
    He pours his passion into his research.
    A handsome science-type man.
[17:52] Ibarada
    Sagittarius. Blood type O.
[17:54] Ibarada
    Height, 186 cm. Weight, 70 kg.
[17:57] Ibarada
    He sees shadows of his childhood friend
    who died in his lab partner, Yukimura-kun.
[18:03] Ibarada
    Even as he suffers pangs of conscience,
    he can't stop his love from growing.
[18:07] Ibarada
    But, not knowing whether they are feelings
[18:10] Ibarada
    for the friend he lost or for
    Yukimura-kun, he suffers alone.
[18:14] Ibarada
    Then, when Yukimura-kun learns of
    Himuro-kun's confusion and pain,
[18:19] Ibarada
    he heads to the Okhotsk
    in the dead of winter.
[18:21] Inukai
    That set-up is unnecessarily long!
[18:24] Kanade
    Though it seems not all are dissatisfied.
SIGN    Definition of "Date"
    
    If a man and a woman go somewhere alone, it's pretty much a date.
    
SIGN    Generally, this includes meals, shopping, sight-seeing, watching movies,
    amusement parks, other attractions, enjoying a night view, etc.
SIGN    Rather than the above-mentioned activities, using the activities
    to mutually confirm emotions is said to be the primary objective.
SIGN    Specific Actions
SIGN    Destination 1 Ex: Amusement Park
SIGN    Haunted house When frightened by artificial ghosts, the other gender
    exhibits often observed. Opportunity for close contact is also increased, and
SIGN    Coffee Cups It seems couples ride this
[18:34] Yukimura
    Summarizing gives us this, at the moment.
[18:37] Kanade
    There's so much stuff to do!
[18:39] Inukai
    Well, we could probably add
    another 20 to 30 items.
[18:42] Inukai
    Considering it's us, we've held
    back quite a bit, don't you think?
[18:44] Kanade
    Why is Kosuke-kun acting so cocky?
[18:48] Yukimura
    Very well.
[18:49] Yukimura
    If those in a state of "love"
    perform these actions,
[18:54] Yukimura
    then this experiment is worth doing.
[18:56] Himuro
    Let's begin planning immediately.
[18:58] Kanade
    Yes. Good. Just like that. Please do!
SIGN    Cosmo Land
SIGN    Park Map
[19:02] Himuro
    In order to visit every destination
    in the most efficient manner,
[19:06] Himuro
    we must construct the optimal
    route for our date!
[19:08] Kanade
    What?
[19:09] Himuro
    The entrance is the start point
    and there are 22 destinations.
[19:13] Himuro
    Which order would be the
    fastest, do you think?
[19:16] Yukimura
    This is your area of
    research, right, Kanade?
[19:20] Kanade
    The traveling salesman problem!
SIGN    Traveling
    Salesman Problem
[19:24] Rikekuma
    The traveling salesman problem!
[19:29] Rikekuma
    Or... the Traveling Salesman Problem!
[19:34] Rikekuma
    It sounds cooler that way, doesn't it, bear?
[19:38] Rikekuma
    In short, when a suspicious salesman wants
    to go to 100 places to push his wares,
[19:44] Rikekuma
    he wants to figure out
    what route is the fastest.
[19:46] Rikekuma
    That's what this problem is about, bear.
[19:49] Rikekuma
    If you went and straight up
    calculated every single course,
[19:52] Rikekuma
    even if you used a supercomputer,
[19:53] Rikekuma
    the number of years it'd take would
    have about 140 zeros after it, bear.
[19:57] Rikekuma
    It's a difficult problem with
    no absolute correct answer.
[20:01] Rikekuma
    Using specialist jargon to say it in
    a cool way, it's "NP-hard," bear.
[20:05] Rikekuma
    Which is why...
[20:06] Rikekuma
    Many methods of solving it are currently
    being researched, bear, but
[20:09] Rikekuma
    this explanation is getting
    to be too much work, bear.
[20:12] Rikekuma
    If you want to know more,
    then look it up yourself, bear!
[20:17] Yukimura
    If the course is to be of practical use,
[20:19] Yukimura
    then it should be perfectly
    possible to calculate.
[20:22] Kanade
    Um...
[20:23] Kanade
    Is there really any need
    to be that efficient?
[20:27] Yukimura and Himuro
    This way...
[20:27] Yukimura and Himuro
    This way...
[20:28] Yukimura; simultaneous
    we can conduct more experiments!
[20:28] Himuro; simultaneous
    we can go to more date spots!
[20:31] Yukimura
    Distance.
[20:33] both
    1,325.06.
[20:36] Yukimura
    They're the same.
[20:37] Himuro
    Which means this is the most
    appropriate travel route.
[20:40] Ibarada
    Yup. Too bad.
[20:42] Ibarada
    Distance, 1,299.46.
[20:46] Ibarada
    You two still have a long way to go.
[20:48] Yukimura
    You little...! What method did you use?
[20:51] Ibarada
    An angle adjusted tabu search.
[20:53] Himuro
    Angles? Where did you find that?
[20:55] Ibarada
    Well, it was a pretty minor paper.
[20:59] Kanade
    All right, now.
[20:59] Kanade
    We're moving on to the next stage!
[21:02] Yukimura
    The next...?
[21:03] Himuro
    What is that?
[21:05] Kanade
    Now that the date plan has been decided,
[21:07] Kanade
    Yukimura-senpai, you need to officially
    invite Himuro-senpai to go on a date with you!
[21:13] Yukimura
    Is there any point to that action?
[21:16] Yukimura
    We've already decided we're
    doing the experiment.
[21:19] Yukimura
    Right, Himuro?
[21:23] Yukimura
    What?
[21:24] Himuro
    Nothing. It's fine.
[21:35] Yukimura
    Himuro...
[21:37] Yukimura
    Um... you know...
[21:40] Yukimura
    Would you...want to...
[21:45] Yukimura
    go on a date with me?
