SIGN    with the one
[00:19] Izumi
    Because today, I get to be with

[00:24] Izumi
    I came up with a plan to make
    sure she'll have a good time.
[00:29] Izumi
    I'm gonna make sure this goes perfectly!
[00:32] Shikimori
    Izumi-san!
[00:36] Shikimori
    Did I keep you waiting?
[00:39] Izumi
    Y-Your outfit...
[00:41] Shikimori
    Oh, I thought a skirt might
    be too restrictive.
[00:45] Shikimori
    I wanted something comfortable
     to walk around in,
[00:47] Shikimori
    so I borrowed my mom's coat.
[00:50] Izumi
    She...
[00:51] Izumi
    She looks so cool!
[00:54] Shikimori
    Are you listening?

    #12 Better Than a Dream
[02:35] Shikimori
    Wh-Where should we start?
[02:38] Izumi
    Heh, heh, heh.
     First order of business is...
[02:43] Izumi
    This, of course!
[02:45] Shikimori
    E-Ears? They're cute!
[02:47] Shikimori
    B-But that kind of thing
    isn't really for me.
SIGN    Embarrassed to Death
[02:54] Shikimori
    I'd like to see you in some, though...
[02:58] Izumi
    I'd love to see you wear them.
[03:02] Shikimori
    Um... well, then...
[03:06] Shikimori
    I'll take this!
[03:09] Izumi
    A s-skull?!
[03:11] Shikimori
    But look. If I fasten up my coat...
[03:16] Shikimori
    Doesn't it sort of match what I'm wearing?
[03:18] Izumi
    She's a prince from the underworld!
[03:21] Izumi
    A million points!
[03:22] Shikimori
    Yay!
[03:24] Izumi
    Let's ride this first.
[03:25] Shikimori
    Okay.
[03:26] Shikimori
    There's a 90-minute wait?!
[03:28] Izumi
    Well, it just opened last year.
[03:31] Izumi
    If you don't get here early,
     apparently it can take up to 180 minutes.
[03:34] Shikimori
    W-Wow...
[03:38] Shikimori
    Look at this!
[03:39] Izumi
    Briars, huh?
[03:40] Shikimori
    Briar Rose... She's from
     Sleeping Beauty, right?
[03:45] Shikimori
    What was that story about again?
[03:47] Izumi
    The princess is cursed
    to slumber for a hundred years.
[03:52] Izumi
    And in that time, the castle
     becomes overgrown with briars.
[03:57] Izumi
    The prince braves the thicket,
    heedless of the danger,
[04:00] Izumi
    to find the princess. He then kisses her,
[04:03] Izumi
    freeing her from her century-long curse.
[04:06] Shikimori
    I had no idea. So that's how it goes...
[04:11] Izumi
    Yeah, you don't seem
     like you'd be into fairy tales.
[04:14] Shikimori
    How rude! I liked picture books
    just like everyone else!
[04:18] Izumi
    But you didn't know Sleeping Beauty?
[04:21] Izumi
    Which was your favorite, then?
[04:22] Shikimori
    Um, uh...
[04:26] Shikimori
    The Ugly Duckling, maybe?
[04:28] Izumi
    That's so dark! Did something
    sad happen to you?
[04:32] Shikimori
    No, of course not!
[04:34] Shikimori
    I just enjoy things that have a little edge,
     like horror and suspense.
[04:38] Izumi
    Still dark.
[04:40] Shikimori
    And that's still rude!
[04:43] Izumi
    Remember the first time we went
    to see a movie together
[04:46] Izumi
    and you said you were okay
     with whatever I wanted to see?
[04:50] Shikimori
    Yes.
[04:51] Izumi
    Then at the fireworks, you said
    you wanted me to see your cute side.
[04:56] Izumi
    But I want to see all of you,
     not just your cute side.
[05:03] Izumi
    Of course, I already know your
    proud side that hates to lose.
[05:11] Izumi
    Hey, Shikimori-san, do you have a dream?
[05:14] Shikimori
    I do, actually.
[05:17] Izumi
    Really? What is it?
[05:19] Shikimori
    I once read a shojo manga...
[05:22] Shikimori
    A romance story.
[05:25] Shikimori
    It made me think love was amazing.
[05:29] Shikimori
    My dream is to experience it for myself.
[05:33] Izumi
    Love?
[05:35] Shikimori
    But that dream's already come true.
[05:43] Woman2 E12
    Still waiting...
[05:45] Guy E12
    This is taking ages.
[05:56] Guide
    Step forward, please.
[05:59] Izumi
    That 90-minute wait kinda
    flew right by, huh?
[06:02] Shikimori
    It sure did.
[06:04] Shikimori
    Be careful. Watch yourself.
[06:06] Izumi
    Here we go.
[06:09] Shikimori
    This is so exciting!
[06:11] Izumi
    Right?
[06:12] Voice
    Welcome to the world of Sleeping Beauty*.
[06:28] Izumi
    It's a slower ride than I thought.
[06:31] Izumi
    There are some aromatic fragrances,
[06:33] Izumi
    pretty music, and a gentle rocking...
[06:39] Izumi
    I-I'm getting sleeping...
[06:42] Shikimori
    Isn't it lovely, Izumi-san?
[06:45] Shikimori
    Izumi-san?
[06:52] Voice
    After being kissed by the prince,
[06:59] Voice
    Sleeping Beauty awoke from*
    her hundred-year slumber.
[07:05] Guide
    Welcome back!
[07:07] Shikimori
    The ride's over, Izumi-san!
[07:12] Izumi
    I fell asleep toward the end...
[07:15] Izumi
    But it was really pretty, wasn't it?
[07:17] Shikimori
    I-It really was.
    I can still smell that nice aroma.
[07:21] Izumi
    What did you think? Did you enjoy it?
[07:23] Shikimori
    Of course!
[07:25] Shikimori
    Although I wasn't expecting such a long wait.
[07:29] Izumi
    Yeah. Shall we go for one
    with a shorter line next?
[07:38] Izumi
    Shikimori-san?
[07:39] Shikimori
    I'd wait in any line.
[07:47] Izumi
    Sh-Shikimori?
[07:49] Shikimori
    Because as long as I'm with you,
[07:51] Shikimori
    any time we spend together
     is just so much fun!
[07:56] Izumi
    I agree!
[07:57] Izumi
    Okay, let's get to the next one!
[07:59] Izumi
    We gotta hurry before it gets dark!
[08:07] Shikimori
    There's no need to rush.
    We have plenty of time.
[08:35] Izumi
    What?!
[08:36] Receptionist
    I-I'm terribly sorry.
[08:39] Receptionist
    We gave your table to
    another guest by mistake,
[08:43] Receptionist
    and all the tables for the course
    you reserved are already taken.
[08:48] Izumi
    O-Of all the luck!
[08:50] Izumi
    This was the centerpiece
    of my entire date plan!
[08:54] Receptionist
    I could arrange a different table.
[08:56] Izumi
    Oh... Really? That'd be great.
[09:05] Izumi
    This is...
[09:07] Izumi
    This is...
[09:10] Izumi
    This is an incredible upgrade!
[09:14] Waitress
    What would you like to drink?
[09:17] Izumi
    O-Orange juice, please.
[09:20] Shikimori
    I'll have a ginger ale.
[09:23] Waitress
    Certainly.
[09:25] Izumi
    Th-The lady up front was really nice, huh?
[09:28] Shikimori
    Yes, to give us such an expensive table...
[09:35] Izumi
    It's way too formal!
    My jacket sticks out like a sore thumb!
[09:40] Waiter
    Here you are, sir.
[09:41] Izumi
    Thanks!
[09:46] Shikimori
    You switched gears fast!
[09:47] Izumi
    Wow, this looks so good!
[09:50] Izumi
    Wait, is this napkin supposed
    to go over my lap?
[09:54] Shikimori
    I think so, yes.
[09:57] Izumi
    Why are there so many forks?
[09:59] Shikimori
    I've heard you start with
    the one on the outside.
[10:05] Izumi
    Yum!
[10:09] Shikimori
    Izumi-san...
[10:11] Shikimori
    Your eyes are always
     glimmering like a child's.
[10:17] Shikimori
    Aw, I made you self-conscious.
[10:20] Izumi
    Did I get carried away?
[10:22] Shikimori
    Don't worry yourself.
[10:27] Shikimori
    When I'm with you, Izumi-san,
[10:30] Shikimori
    all kinds of things seem
    prettier than usual to me.
[10:37] Shikimori
    So I have to wonder sometimes...
[10:40] Shikimori
    How beautiful must the world
    look through your eyes?
[10:47] Shikimori
    You know?
[10:48] Izumi
    Y-You're exaggerating.
[10:51] Izumi
    Wh-What do I do?
[10:53] Izumi
    I can't even tell how
    the food tastes anymore!
[10:58] Shikimori
    Hey, Izumi-san...
[11:01] Shikimori
    What do you see in my eyes?
[11:06] Izumi
    Well, uh...
[11:13] Izumi
    M-Me?
[11:14] Shikimori
    That's right.
[11:16] Shikimori
    You're all I'm ever looking at, Izumi-san.
[11:21] Izumi
    She's just not letting up with the overkill!
[11:25] Izumi
    Well, for me, too...
[11:27] Izumi
    The most b-beautiful thing I see... is you.
[11:35] Shikimori
    Uh...
[11:40] Waitress
    I'll take any dishes you're finished with.
[11:43] Izu/Shiki
    Okay!
[11:45] Izumi
    Whew, I'm stuffed.
[11:47] Shikimori
    Full-course meals really are a lot of food.
[11:51] Izumi
    We still have some time.
    Is there anywhere you want to go?
[12:04] Izumi
    Shikimori-san?
[12:07] Shikimori
    I want...
[12:08] Shikimori
    t-to do what they did in the commercial!
[12:18] Izumi
    Okay, sure.
[12:23] Shikimori
    Huh?!
SIGN    To a world of dreams
SIGN    with the one you love
[12:28] Shikimori
    A-Are you sure about this?
[12:31] Shikimori
    Y-You agreed so readily...
[12:34] Izumi
    Yeah. Let's not waste any time.
[12:36] Shikimori
    Right here?!
[12:38] Izumi
    Your hand.
[12:42] Shikimori
    Hohay...
[12:47] Izumi
    So... how do I escort you, exactly?
[12:51] Shikimori
    Huh?
[12:52] Izumi
    Huh? Well, when you said
     "what they did in the commercial,"
[12:56] Izumi
    you meant after the little girl's
    parents take her hands, didn't you?
[13:00] Shikimori
    Yes...
[13:02] Izumi
    So the part where the old man
    escorts the old lady, right?
[13:07] Izumi
    Wait, that's not what you meant?!
[13:09] Izumi
    Sorry! Um, then which part did you mean?
[13:13] Shikimori
    This is fun in its own way, so it's fine...
[13:17] Shikimori
    Let's go somewhere we can just talk awhile.
[13:22] Izumi
    O-Okay. Let's find a place with
    a nice view of the sunset.
[13:26] Shikimori
    Be sure to escort me properly, my prince.
[13:30] Izumi
    R-Right!
[13:32] Izumi
    Let's go.
[13:39] Izumi
    What was it she really wanted to do, though?
[13:44] Izumi
    At the end of that commercial, I think...
[13:50] Izumi
    Sh-She couldn't have meant...
[13:53] Worker
    Off you go!
[13:59] Shikimori
    This view is really great.
[14:03] Shikimori
    It's beautiful.
[14:05] Izumi
    Y-Yeah, it is.
[14:08] Izumi
    What now?
[14:09] Izumi
    Since I figured out what she meant about
    the commercial, I'm all nervous...
[14:16] Izumi
    Oh, I know! We haven't taken a picture
    yet today. Let's get one!
[14:20] Shikimori
    Good idea.
[14:22] Izumi
    Here we go.
[14:24] Izumi
    Is the background in it?
[14:27] Izumi
    Okay, say cheese—
[14:29] Izumi
    Huh?!
[14:30] Izumi
    Wait, why...
[14:35] PA
    Attention, guests.
[14:37] PA
    The park is currently
    experiencing a power outage.

[14:41] PA
    Please bear with us until power is restored.
[14:43] Izumi
    There goes my bad luck!
    And our gorgeous nighttime scenery!
[14:47] Shikimori
    The boat stopped, too...
[14:50] Sizumi
    Are you okay, Shikimori-san?
[14:52] Shikimori
    I'm just fine.
[14:54] Shikimori
    Here.
[14:57] Izumi
    Thanks.
[14:59] Shikimori
    The other boats have lights.
[15:02] Shikimori
    We can use our smartphones, too.
[15:05] Izumi
    Good idea.
[15:07] Izumi
    Wow...
[15:09] Izumi
    It really is pitch black.
[15:11] Shikimori
    I can't see anything but the moon.
[15:16] Izumi
    I'm sorry. I never dreamed this would happen.
[15:21] Izumi
    I hope they get the power back on soon.
[15:25] Shikimori
    But...
[15:30] Izumi
    Wha—
[15:34] Shikimori
    Now it really is just the two of us.
[15:37] Izumi
    See?! This is what I'm talking about!
[15:40] Izumi
    You're just like a prince!
    How can you do that so naturally?!
[15:44] Shikimori
    Does it make you happy?
[15:45] Izumi
    Incredibly!
[15:47] Shikimori
    I'm glad, then.
[15:52] Izumi
    It's kind of weird, isn't it?
[15:56] Izumi
    I can't see anything but you here.
[16:00] Shikimori
    Yeah...
[16:02] Shikimori
    It's like being in a dream.
[16:07] Shikimori
    For just this moment, there's nothing
    else to steal your attention,
[16:13] Shikimori
    so you're looking only at me.
[16:19] Shikimori
    If I could have dreams like this,
    I wouldn't want to wake up.
[16:24] Shikimori
    What if you end up drifting
    far away from me?
[16:32] Izumi
    What can I do...
[16:34] Izumi
    to make you feel at ease?
[16:46] Shikimori
    Careful—
[16:47] Izumi
    I love you.
[16:52] Izumi
    I love you.
[16:54] Izumi
    I'm in love with you, Shikimori-san.
[16:58] Izumi
    I'll stay with you forever.
[17:01] Izumi
    So please don't worry anymore.
[17:15] Shikimori
    I'm really...
[17:18] Shikimori
    no match for you.
[17:22] Izumi
    Shikimori-san, the lights are back.
[17:24] Shikimori
    Let me stay like this a bit longer.
[17:29] Izumi
    I guess she doesn't want to wake up
    from the dream just yet.
[17:37] Izumi
    Sh-Shikimori-san...
[17:39] Shikimori
    Also, I didn't mean for what
    I said to turn that serious.
[17:44] Izumi
    Huh? Y-You didn't?
[17:47] Shikimori
    But right now...
[17:52] Shikimori
    I'm happier than I'd be in any dream.
[17:56] Izumi
    Good.
[18:11] Inuzuka
    Hey, Izumi...
[18:13] Inuzuka
    Why do you look like some
    modern art installment?
[18:18] Izumi
    I didn't think about it until I was
    in the bath after I got home last night...
[18:22] Inuzuka
    Hey, you listening?
[18:23] Izumi
    But...
[18:25] Izumi
    How could I have done
    something so assertive?!
[18:30] Inuzuka
    You can twist yourself up even more?!
[18:33] Nekozaki
    Come on, tell us!
[18:36] Nekozaki
    We know something happened, Micchon!
[18:38] Hachimitsu
    You're better off just spilling now.
[18:41] Shikimori
    R-R-Really, nothing happened at all.
[18:45] Hachimitsu
    Yeah, you're a lousy liar.
[18:48] Nekozaki
    She's not talking, Inspector.
[18:51] Nekozaki
    Clearly, there's been some
    sort of development.
[18:53] Hachimitsu
    Hmm... Silence in this case
    can only mean one thing.
[18:58] Hachimitsu
    You kissed, didn't you?
[18:59] Nekozaki
    What?!
[19:04] Nekozaki
    You k-k-k-kissed him?!
[19:07] Hachimitsu
    For real?!
[19:08] Shikimori
    Not so loud!
[19:11] Nekozaki
    Er... Oh?
[19:14] Nekozaki
    W-Would you mind explaining
    in a bit more detail?
[19:18] Hachimitsu
    Relax, Assistant Inspector.
[19:20] Shikimori
    We had dinner at a really
    upscale restaurant,
[19:23] Shikimori
    so the mood was right.
    Then we took a gondola ride...
[19:27] Nekozaki
    Uh-huh...
[19:28] Shikimori
    But the power went out.
    Everything went dark.
[19:30] Hachimitsu
    His bad luck never fails.
[19:32] Shikimori
    And that's when Izumi-san...
[19:37] Shikimori
    k-kissed my cheek.
[19:40] Nekozaki
    We're done here.
[19:41] Hachimitsu
    That stupid Izumi wimped out.
[19:43] Shikimori
    N-No, he didn't!
[19:45] Shikimori
    He, well... seemed to think
    I was feeling uneasy,
[19:49] Shikimori
    so he did it to comfort me.
[19:51] Shikimori
    He was very sweet.
[19:54] Nekozaki
    I see.
[19:55] Shikimori
    And also...
[19:57] Nekozaki
    Uh-huh?
[19:58] Shikimori
    I've been wanting to get as close
    as possible to Izumi-san lately,
[20:02] Shikimori
    so I was being pretty proactive, but...
[20:05] Nekozaki
    Wait, wait! Don't suddenly go all carnivore!
[20:08] Hachimitsu
    The warm and fuzzies just
    instantly burned to ash.
[20:12] Shikimori
    I was panicking because
    I made him worry about me.
[20:16] Shikimori
    I was ashamed of myself for getting
    distracted by a bunch of superficial stuff.
[20:20] Nekozaki
    Micchon, hang on a—
[20:22] Shikimori
    So I've made up my mind.
[20:23] Shikimori
    I'm going to become
     as open-hearted as Izumi-san.
[20:29] Nekozaki
    R-Really? Well, your love is
    plenty big enough already...
[20:34] Hachimitsu
    So are your fluctuations.
[20:37] Nekozaki
    What do you think, Hachimitsu?
[20:39] Hachimitsu
    I can't tell if they're kindergarteners
     or an elderly couple.
[20:44] Inuzuka
    Just hang on. I'll get out of that knot.
[20:45] Hachimitsu
    But hey, as long as they're happy,
[20:50] Hachimitsu
    it's all good.
SIGN    SEE YOU~
[22:32] Izumi
    Shikimori-san!
[22:38] Izumi
    Good morning, Shikimori-san.
[22:40] Shikimori
    Good morning, Izumi-san.
