[00:02] High school girl
    Wah! I'm late! I'm late!
[00:07] High school girl
    Oh, honestly! Over-sleeping
    because my alarm clock broke!
[00:09] High school girl
    It's still morning, and
    nothing has gone right!
[00:12] High school girl
    With all this, if I don't run into
    my soulmate when I turn that corner...
[00:16] High school girl
    Nothing else can make up for it!
[00:23] High school girl
    Ow...
[00:25] High school girl
    Huh?
[00:29] Yukimura
    Apologies. Are you all right?
[00:33] High school girl
    An intelligent, cool guy...
[00:35] High school girl
    Is this...? Could it be? Could it be?
[00:38] High school girl
    Destiny...?
[00:43] High school girl
    Oh! Why did the jam side, of all
    things, have to land on my uniform?
[00:48] High school girl
    I've been so unlucky! Super disastrous!
    What is this, a curse?
[00:52] Yukimura
    That would be incorrect.
[00:54] Yukimura
    Have you heard of Murphy's Law?
[00:57] Yukimura
    Things like, "Why, when you drop a piece
    of toast, does it land jam-side down?"
[01:02] Yukimura
    "Anything that can go wrong, will go
    wrong." It is a law in a humorous sense.
[01:07] Yukimura
    However, an English researcher named Robert
    Matthews offered this counter-argument.
[01:12] Yukimura
    He said that if you drop a piece of toast from
    a table approximately one meter in height,
SIGN    Jam
SIGN    Toast
[01:16] Yukimura
    the chances of the toast landing
    jam-side down are high.
SIGN    of rotation when falling
    would cause it to land
     jam-side down.
[01:19] Yukimura
    And he proved it using physics.
[01:23] Yukimura
    Which means that the result is
    perfectly natural, scientifically.
[01:28] Yukimura
    You are not unlucky.
    Enjoy your high school life.
[01:36] High school girl
    What's with that nerd?
SIGN    Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It
SIGN    Proof 5
    Science-types Fell in Love,
    So They Tried Holding a Meeting.
[03:11] Ibarada
    Is someone presenting today?
[03:13] Yukimura
    Himuro and I.
[03:15] Yukimura
    We're presenting the research
    we've been conducting.
[03:17] Himuro
    Our B4s should present sometime soon, too.
[03:20] Ibarada
    Torasuke, you haven't been
    reading papers, have you?
[03:24] Ibarada
    The professor's gonna strangle you to death.
[03:27] Inukai
    H-He wouldn't really kill me...
[03:31] Kanade
    Today is the day all of the researchers
    gather to hold a meeting!
[03:36] Kanade
    They're held every other Wednesday,
[03:39] Kanade
    and Ikeda Lab meetings usually
    go something like this.
[03:42] Rikekuma
    Well, let's get the meeting started, bear.
[03:45] Kanade
    The meeting starts at 9 AM.
[03:48] Kanade
    First, the professor makes announcements.
[03:50] Rikekuma
    Next month, we're going on a trip to
    Brisbane to make presentations, bear!
[03:54] Rikekumas; background
    This and that. This and that.
    Somehow or other.
[03:54] Kanade
    Then, those who want to present
    the findings of their research.
[03:58] Rikekumas; background
    Talk. Talk. Talk.
[03:58] Kanade
    When the presentation
    finishes, we discuss it.
[04:01] Kanade
    And once all the presentations
    are done, the meeting is closed.
[04:04] Rikekuma
    Thanks, everyone, bear.
[04:07] Himuro
    The professor is rather late, isn't he?
[04:09] Himuro
    Kanade-chan, you called him, didn't you?
[04:11] Kanade
    Oh, yes. He said he'd come right away.
[04:13] Ibarada
    He's sleeping. Gotta be.
[04:16] Kanade
    Sleep? But he was awake five minutes ago...
[04:20] Ibarada
    Professor.
[04:23] Ikeda
    Eek! That's...
[04:25] Kanade
    What's going on in there?
[04:31] Ikeda
    I'm so sorry about that!
[04:33] Ikeda
    The sunlight was so warm,
    I started drifting off...
[04:34] ---
    Saitama University
    Mathematics and Information Sciences
    Professor Ikeda Kashin
    Height: 185 cm Weight: 102 kg
    Blood type: A
    Hobbies: Triathlons, Free Climbing
    Favorite foods: Protein, Alcohol
    Favorite phrase: Accomplished in study and athletics
    Looks up to: Taniyama Michiya, Kuze Takaomi
    Goals: Own and operate a café
[04:37] Kanade
    He really was asleep.
[04:39] Ikeda
    Well, shall we start the meeting?
[04:44] Kanade
    Um... With that, we'll start today's meeting.
[04:48] Kanade
    Professor, do you have any announcements?
[04:51] Ikeda
    Yes.
[04:53] Ikeda; background
    As it is now June,
[04:54] Kanade
    This is the master of the
    lab, Professor Ikeda!
[04:55] Ikeda; background
    those who have not yet presented their
    research should do so soon, please.
[04:57] Kanade
    He's a little scary when he's angry,
    but he's a very kind teacher.
[05:01] Ikeda
    Also, it's been decided that
[05:03] Ikeda
    we will hold a four university joint
    training camp again this summer.
[05:06] Ikeda
    It will be August...
    What were the dates again?
[05:10] Ibarada
    From the 19th to the 21st.
[05:12] Ikeda
    Yes! That's right. Thank you.
[05:14] Ikeda
    Having you around is such
    a great help, Ibarada-kun.
[05:18] Ibarada
    You're quite welcome.
[05:20] Kanade
    Professor Ikeda can be a little absentminded.
[05:23] Kanade
    Ibarada-senpai often helps
    with the follow up.
[05:26] Ikeda
    The undergraduates will be presenting there,
[05:28] Ikeda
    so our B4s, Kanade-kun and Kosuke-kun,
[05:31] Ikeda
    will need to decide on their
    research themes by summer.
[05:34] Inukai
    Gulp!
[05:35] Ikeda
    Kanade-kun, I heard that you
    were interested in TSP,
[05:39] Ikeda
    so I gave you papers on the subject.
    What did you think of them?
[05:42] Kanade
    I'm still only partway through
    the second one, but...
[05:45] Kanade
    I'm finding it difficult.
[05:47] Ikeda
    Well, that is how it is in the beginning.
[05:50] Rikekuma
    TSP!
[05:53] Rikekuma
    TSP is another way of referring to the
    traveling salesman problem!
[05:57] Rikekuma
    I've already explained what it is,
    bear, so if you want to know,
[06:02] Rikekuma
    go back and watch episode 3 or read the
    first volume of the original work, bear.
[06:05] Rikekuma
    So, today's term of the day, is this!
[06:08] Riekuma
    B4!
[06:10] Rikekuma
    This is the mysterious word that Professor
    Ikeda used with Kanade and the others, bear.
[06:14] Rikekuma
    It's a designation for school years
    often used in research labs, bear.
[06:18] Rikekuma
    In English, an undergrad degree
    is called a Bachelor's.
SIGN    Undergraduates
[06:20] Rikekuma
    You use the first letter of that word, "B."
[06:24] Rikekuma
    So, B4 is a 4th year undergraduate student.
SIGN    4th year undergrad student
SIGN    Graduate courses
[06:28] Rikekuma
    Above that, you have the
    "M" from "Master's."
[06:31] Rikekuma
    Himuro and Yukimura are both first-year
    grad students, so they're M1s.
SIGN    1st year graduate student
[06:34] Rikekuma
    Ibarada would be an M2, bear.
SIGN    2nd year graduate student
[06:38] Rikekuma
    Once you've completed your graduate degree,
    you attain the title of "Master," bear.
[06:44] Rikekuma
    Study hard and become masters like those
    knights from a galaxy far, far away,
[06:48] Rikekuma
    and lose yourself in a vortex
    of destruction and despair, bear.
[06:52] Ikeda
    And you, Kosuke-kun?
[06:54] Ikeda
    Did you find anything you liked
    in the papers I gave you?
[06:59] Inukai
    I really do want to read those papers,
[07:02] Inukai
    but you could say,
    my woman just won't let me go.
SIGN    Aika
SIGN    "Studying or me? Which is more important?"
[07:06] Aika
    Honestly! Studying or me?
    Which is more important?

[07:10] Ikeda
    You haven't read them at all?
[07:12] Inukai
    'S right!
[07:13] Ikeda
    Not a single page?
[07:15] Inukai
    'S right.
[07:16] Ikeda
    Not a single word?
[07:19] Inukai
    'S right...
[07:21] Ikeda
    Kosuke-kun...
[07:26] Ikeda
    Aika-chan is very charming,
[07:29] Ikeda
    but let's do those assignments which
    we are meant to do, shall we?
[07:33] Ikeda
    Do you understand?
[07:35] Inukai
    I'm sorry!
[07:38] Kanade
    Professor Ikeda excels in
    both study and athletics, so
[07:41] Kanade
    when he gets angry, his muscles tend
    to get a little bigger, but...
[07:43] Ikeda; background
    Oops! I pulverized my pen again.
[07:44] Kanade
    he's usually a very kind teacher.
[07:47] Ibarada
    Here's your spare.
[07:49] Kanade
    Well, then... Let's resume the meeting.
[07:53] Kanade
    If anyone has a presentation,
    please go ahead.
[07:57] Yukimura
    Professor, I'd like to present.
[08:01] Ikeda
    What's this? A joint presentation
    with Himuro-kun, is it?
[08:06] Ikeda
    It was a polynomial time reduction last time.
[08:08] Ikeda
    I'm excited to see how much
    progress you've made.
[08:12] Yukimura
    First, if you'd please take
    a look at figure 1.1.
SIGN    We're for
SIGN    realz ♥
SIGN    Fig 1.1: During Date Experiment
[08:18] Yukimura
    This figure shows the circumstances during
    the date experiment we conducted recently.
[08:22] Ikeda
    U-Um... I did think you
    got along well, but...
[08:26] Ikeda
    You two are in that kind
    of relationship, are you?
[08:29] Himuro and Yukimura
    No, we are not.
[08:30] Himuro
    The genesis of this lies in events
    of the other day when I...
[08:35] Himuro
    ...and so this date is
    one of many experiments
[08:38] Himuro
    we conducted in regards to
    the many types of romance.
[08:41] Ikeda
    Ah... I-I see...
[08:43] Yukimura
    I will upload the detailed
    data to our local server.
[08:46] Himuro
    After a casual examination of the data,
[08:49] Himuro
    the experiment which garnered
    the greatest results was...
SIGN    Fig 4: Emotional Changes Over Time
SIGN    Fig 3.7: Yukimura Shinya screaming at a man
[08:53] Himuro
    During the date experiment, at 2:22:42 PM,
[08:57] Himuro
    "I have assembled all of this data
[09:00] Himuro
    and even I am unable
    to prove that I love her!"
[09:04] Himuro
    "The likes of you could never so
    casually declare your love for her!"
[09:07] Himuro
    Yukimura-kun was heard
    screaming these things.
[09:11] Himuro
    During that time,
    my highest heart rate of the day,
[09:14] Himuro
    with a momentary high of
    162 bpm, was recorded.
[09:17] Kanade
    Why is she talking like she's
    giving TV viewership ratings?
[09:22] Yukimura
    Himuro, you little...
[09:23] Yukimura
    Is it really necessary to write
    out every single word I said?
[09:27] Himuro
    Well, if I don't, it doesn't accurately
    convey the conditions, does it?
[09:30] Yukimura
    In that case, I've got a
    few thoughts of my own.
SIGN    Fig 3.7: Yukimura Shinya screaming at a man
SIGN    Fig 3.8: Himuro Ayame, happy
[09:34] Yukimura
    My highest heart rate was recorded here.
[09:38] Yukimura
    6:47 PM.
[09:40] Yukimura
    On the Ferris wheel, with the sunset
    in the background, Himuro...
[09:43] Yukimura
    "This is the number of times I was happy
    and the number of times I had fun today."
[09:46] Yukimura
    "In total, 1925 times."
[09:48] Yukimura
    "It's an exponential increase."
[09:51] Yukimura
    "And even now, in this moment, too."
    ...is what she said.
[09:57] Kanade
    You're killing us over here, too!
[09:59] Yukimura
    "It was in this situation...
[10:02] Yukimura
    where my highest heart rate
    of the day was recorded"...
[10:07] Ikeda
    And this... is your presentation?
[10:12] Ikeda
    Yukimura-kun.
[10:13] Ikeda
    What about your polynomial time reduction?
[10:17] Yukimura
    My deepest apologies.
[10:19] Yukimura
    I am planning to pursue that separately.
[10:21] Yukimura
    But as I determined this to be
    the more pressing problem...
[10:27] Ikeda
    You're right! This research
    topic seems super interesting!
[10:31] Kanade
    He's okay with it!
[10:31] Inukai
    Huh?
[10:33] Yukimura
    I knew you would say that, Professor!
[10:37] Ikeda
    Wow. The base conditions of love, is it?
[10:41] Ikeda
    When I married my wife,
    this never even occurred to me.
[10:45] Ikeda
    Have you thoughts on future prospects?
[10:48] Yukimura
    Based on the sampling,
[10:50] Yukimura
    a large-scale control experiment.
SIGN    Fig 3.8: Himuro Ayame, happy
[10:53] Yukimura
    To determine the base conditions of love,
    we need to gather as much data as possible,
SIGN    Love A
SIGN    Love B
SIGN    Love C
SIGN    Love D
SIGN    Love E
SIGN    General "Love"
[10:57] Yukimura
    so that we can find the average.
SIGN    Fig 4.6: Experiment with a couple's straw
[11:00] Yukimura
    As an example, this experiment.
SIGN    Times your heart raced +22
    Times you felt happy+12
    Times your hands shook +2
    Times you thought the other person smelled nice +2
    Times you had no idea how it tasted +1
[11:03] Yukimura
    Given the circumstances in the picture,
SIGN    Times your heart raced +16
    Times you felt happy +8
    Times you thought the other person was cute +22
    Times you had fun +12
    Times you thought it tasted good +2
    Times you wished you could take a picture +2
[11:04] Yukimura
    we investigated the information on our
    vitals and the emotion counters, but...
[11:07] Ikeda
    It seems you might need other
    humans for this experiment.
[11:12] Ikeda
    And as many of them as you can get.
[11:14] Yukimura
    For example, in this room there
    are six people, including me.
SIGN    Fig 4.6: Experiment with a couple's straw
SIGN    Times your heart raced +22
    Times you felt happy+12
    Times your hands shook +2
    Times you thought the other person smelled nice +2
    Times you had no idea how it tasted +1
SIGN    Times your heart raced +16
    Times you felt happy +8
    Times you thought the other person was cute +22
    Times you had fun +12
    Times you thought it tasted good +2
    Times you wished you could take a picture +2
[11:18] Yukimura
    Given the circumstances in the picture,
SIGN    From the 6, possible pairs of 2
[11:19] Yukimura
    From the six of us, it is possible to
    make 15 combinations of groups of two.
SIGN    pairs
[11:24] Yukimura
    Which means that within this lab,
[11:27] Yukimura
    it is possible to run 15 experiments.
[11:30] Kanade
    What?
[11:31] Kanade
    You're going to do all the pairs?
[11:33] Ibarada
    That sounds like crazy amounts of fun.
[11:36] Yukimura
    In particular, Kanade is the closest
    to average, thus a valuable specimen.
[11:39] Yukimura
    You will participate,
    by any means necessary.
[11:41] Kanade
    Aren't there numerous problems with this?
[11:44] Yukimura
    What, do you have a particular
    partner at the moment?
[11:46] Kanade
    Well, no. I don't, but...
[11:49] Yukimura
    Then it shouldn't be a problem.
[11:51] Yukimura
    Also, you need to hurry up and turn
    in a report on your romantic history.
SIGN    Force of Impact
[11:57] Himuro
    I have told you before,
    Yukimura-kun, you lack tact.
[12:01] Yukimura
    Himuro, you little...
    Stop hitting my head every time!
[12:04] Yukimura
    You'll kill valuable brain cells!
[12:05] Himuro
    Then you should think a little harder.
[12:07] Yukimura
    What did you just say?!
[12:08] Inukai
    Yukimura-senpai! Stop!
[12:10] Kanade
    Please, calm down.
[12:11] Yukimura
    K-Kanade... You're really strong.
[12:14] Yukimura
    Wait... my arm...
[12:18] Ikeda
    Let's all calm down.
[12:21] Ikeda
    This place is a font of intelligence
    and inquiry—the Ikeda lab.
[12:25] Ikeda
    We always resolve things intelligently,
    calmly, rationally, do we not?
[12:31] everyone
    You're the most violent of us all.
[12:34] Ikeda
    Yukimura-kun, it is not good to force those
    who do not wish it into your experiments.
[12:40] Kanade
    That's right!
[12:42] Kanade
    This experiment just doesn't make any sense!
[12:44] Ikeda
    Which is why you should
    do it with volunteers!
[12:47] Ikeda
    I'd be happy to be of assistance.
[12:51] Kanade
    What's he saying?
SIGN    Q1: Are you in a romantic relationship?
    
     A Yes
    
     B If I had to say, then yes.
    
     C If I had to say, then no.
    
     D No
    
    Q2: What does "love" mean to you?

[12:52] Ikeda
    Papers on the psychology
    of love, as far as I know,
[12:57] Ikeda
    are largely based on questionnaires
    given to college students.
[13:01] Ikeda
    In particular, in Japan
    there is a strong tendency
[13:04] Ikeda
    not to conduct matters of love in the open.
SIGN    Concerning the Base Conditions of Love
    Research Findings
[13:06] Ikeda
    Which is precisely why...
[13:08] Ikeda
    this data that you science-types collected
    by throwing yourselves into it is,
[13:11] Ikeda
    from an academic standpoint,
    extremely valuable.
[13:15] Ikeda
    True, it may not be an experiment
    that makes sense, however,
[13:19] Ikeda
    smashing common sense to smithereens
    is what we researchers do.
[13:23] Yukimura
    Exactly, Professor.
[13:25] Himuro
    Of course, I will give my all for research.
[13:28] Ibarada
    And you'll be participating, too, Torasuke.
[13:31] Inukai
    Why am I the only one
    being forced into this?
[13:34] Ikeda
    Very good!
[13:36] Ikeda
    This place is a font of
    intelligence and inquiry!
[13:38] Ikeda
    The Ikeda Laboratory!
[13:41] Ikeda
    Learn what makes sense.
    Then, crush common sense under your heel!
[13:44] Ikeda
    Research as your heart desires!
[13:47] Yukimura and Himuro
    Yes, sir!
[13:49] Kanade
    Well, that brings today's
    meeting to a close.
[13:55] Kanade
    This lab exists because of this professor.
[13:58] Kanade
    It seems that normal people
    are in the minority here.
[14:02] Kanade
    I'm probably gonna end up
    participating, too, aren't I?
SIGN    Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It.
[14:18] Yukimura
    Don't run, Kosuke.
[14:22] Inukai
    Yuki...mura...senpai...
[14:29] Yukimura
    Stop laughing, Ibarada!
[14:32] Yukimura
    You're the one who said we
    should try this pairing!
[14:36] Ibarada
    So? What do you think?
SIGN    Times you thought "senpai's really got this down" +1
[14:39] Inukai
    I'm sorry, Yukimura-senpai.

[14:47] Ibarada
    It's rough on me, too.
    But it was worth seeing, just to try it.
[14:52] Ibarada
    Watching the two of you paired up...
    It was funny, but that's all.
[14:57] Yukimura; simultaneous
    You little...
[14:57] Kosuke; simultaneous
    You!
SIGN    Fig. 2.1: Wall Slam Experiment
[14:59] Inukai
    So?
[15:00] Inukai
    What're we supposed to figure
    out from this experiment data?
[15:04] Ibarada
    That we are unable to deny the possibility
    that you, Torasuke, are in love with Yukimura.
[15:09] Inukai
    Stop making it sound weird!
    You crazy BL-loving woman!
[15:13] Inukai
    Seriously. It's not like my heart rate is...
[15:16] Inukai
    Well, I guess it's a little
    higher than my resting rate.
[15:20] Inukai
    But there's no change in my
    temperature or blood pressure!
[15:22] Ibarada
    That part is a little weird.
[15:26] Ibarada
    For blood pressure, when you
    use something simple like this,
[15:29] Ibarada
    as opposed to medical equipment,
    the accuracy is reduced.
[15:32] Ibarada
    Well, it works at a reference level.
[15:35] Ibarada
    Also, for this experiment, you put the
    thermometer under your arm, right?
[15:39] Ibarada
    When you take a temperature under the
    arm, it's an axillary temperature.
[15:44] Ibarada
    It's the most stable place to take the
    highest temperature on the body, but
SIGN    Core Temperature
[15:48] Ibarada
    because of that, it's not suited for
    reading small changes in temperature.
[15:53] Ibarada
    Emotion-related temperature
    fluctuations most often occur
[15:56] Ibarada
    in places like the tip of the nose.
[15:58] Ibarada
    However, places like that are very
    susceptible to external stimulus.
[16:03] Ibarada
    Honestly, a comfy room and measuring with
    thermography would be best, but...
[16:09] Ibarada
    That's hard to do in the middle of a date...
[16:12] Ibarada
    Still, basically,
[16:14] Ibarada
    it just won't serve as material to deny
    any love between you and Yukimura.
[16:20] Inukai
    You freakin' witch!
[16:22] Inukai
    Go ahead and act cocky while you can...
[16:26] Inukai
    Doing all the pairings means that, eventually,
[16:29] Inukai
    you're gonna participate
    in the experiments, too!
[16:33] Inukai
    If, by chance, you're in love with me,
[16:36] Inukai
    it'll be exposed in a flash.
[16:38] Ibarada
    Yeah. So not.
[16:40] Ibarada
    And you...
[16:42] Ibarada
    I wouldn't set your heart racing, would I?
[16:46] Inukai
    Huh?
[16:47] Inukai
    Aika's the only one for me.
[16:49] Inukai
    A woman like you isn't even on my radar!
SIGN    Fig. 2.1: Close Contact Experiment
[16:54] Ibarada
    In that case...
[16:55] Ibarada
    Shall we try this close contact experiment
    and see whose vitals stay at resting rates?
[17:01] Ibarada
    Loser treats the other to a week's worth
    of skewered dango from the co-op store.
[17:05] Inukai
    Sounds like fun.
[17:07] Inukai
    You think pairing up with you
    is gonna do anything for me?
[17:10] Inukai
    I'm gonna bankrupt you, you pipsqueak.

    an experiment with the pairing
    of Yukimura and Kanade.
[17:20] Himuro
    Kanade-chan, please, begin.
[17:23] Kanade
    This is embarrassing...
[17:26] Yukimura
    Just do it.
[17:27] Kanade
    F-Fine, I will...

    Here. Say "ah"...

    Observation Notes:
[17:34] Himuro
    Why do I feel so unsettled?
[17:37] Himuro
    Kanade-chan and Yukimura-kun are
    nothing more than colleagues...
[17:43] Kanade
    Say "ah"!
[17:46] Yukimura
    It sure looks delicious!
[17:53] Yukimura
    Hey, Himuro.
[17:55] Yukimura
    This experiment is between Kanade and myself.
[17:57] Himuro
    Yes. I understand that.
[17:59] Kanade
    U-Um...
[18:01] Kanade
    Then, let's try again...

    So have I.
[18:24] Inukai
    Hold on!
[18:25] Inukai
    What is this? This is stupid.
[18:27] Inukai
    But I guess I've got no choice.
[18:29] Inukai
    I've gotta find a way to raise her heart
    rate in this romantic atmosphere.
[18:33] Inukai
    Huh?
[18:34] Inukai
    Did she just call me Kosuke...?
[18:36] Ibarada
    Kosuke, from now on...
[18:39] Ibarada
    I'm not going to stop myself
    from saying I love you, Kosuke!

    Calm down.
[18:54] Inukai
    She isn't Aika.
[18:56] Inukai
    All this woman does is game

    Do you remember when
    we were little, Torasuke?
[20:08] Inukai
    Yes...
[20:09] Ibarada
    A long time ago...
[20:11] Ibarada
    the two of us used to sit together like this...
[20:13] Ibarada
    on the porch in your backyard, Torasuke.
[20:17] Ibarada
    The sunlight felt so good,
[20:20] Ibarada
    we both fell asleep like that.
[20:23] Ibarada
    And, without realizing it,

    you peed on me in your sleep,
    didn't you, Torasuke?

[20:31] Ibarada
    In elementary school,
[20:32] Ibarada
    when we thought I might move away,

    you started bawling saying "I'm gonna
    marry you, Ena-chan! You can't go!"

    Stop that.

    In middle school,
[20:45] Ibarada
    you played your first pretty girl dating
    game with me in my room, didn't you?

    Stop that.

    Stop it.

    a bit of forced excitement in it.
