[00:01] Shintaro
    I'm home.
[00:03] Towa
    Welcome back, Shintaro-sama.
[00:07] Shintaro
    Sorry about everything today,
    and thanks for bringing me lunch.
[00:10] Towa
    Don't mention it.
[00:12] Towa
    I should be the one to
    apologize for flying so much.
[00:14] Shintaro
    Oh, yeah, that was definitely a shock...
[00:20] Shintaro
    Huh?
[00:21] Shintaro
    You did the laundry?
[00:23] Towa
    I did.
[00:23] Shintaro
    But I didn't teach you how to
    use the washing machine, did I?
[00:27] Towa
    I studied up on that beforehand with 
    The Good Kid's Guide to Life on Earth!

[00:32] Shintaro
    Wow, The Good Kid's Guide 
    to Life on Earth has got it—
[00:36] Shintaro
    M-My underwear?!
[00:38] Shintaro
    Crap, I'd stuffed it in the machine 'cause
    I didn't expect her to do the laundry!
[00:44] Shintaro
    I don't think anyone other than my family's
    ever washed my underwear for me before!
[00:49] Shintaro
    Th-Thanks.
[00:50] Shintaro
    Control yourself. It'll make the
    mood all awkward if I blush here.
[00:53] Shintaro
    And then Towa-chan will apologize.
[00:56] Shintaro
    Stay calm!
[00:57] Shintaro
    Wow, look how neatly folded they a—
[01:00] Shintaro
    Why is there a bear?!
[01:03] Towa
    There was a hole in your underwear,
    so I mended it for you.
[01:06] Shintaro
    Kill me now!
[01:10] Shintaro
    Given everything she's doing for me,
[01:12] Shintaro
    it'd be weird to hyperfocus
    on the underwear...
[01:15] Shintaro
    No! That's exactly why I should!
[01:18] Shintaro
    Towa-chan.
[01:19] Shintaro
    I'll make sure to wash my own underwear.
[01:23] Towa
    What?
[01:24] Towa
    Did you dislike the bear?!
[01:26] Shintaro
    Oh, nah, it's more...
[01:28] Towa
    Shall I stitch a bunny from now on?
[01:30] Shintaro
    That's not the point!
[01:31] Shintaro
    Just let me handle everything
    related to my underwear, please!
[01:36] Towa
    O...kay?
[01:44] Shintaro
    From that day on,
[01:45] Shintaro
    washing my underwear in the sink
    became part of my daily routine.

[03:24] Tsumugi
    Gah! I need to know!
[03:28] Tsumugi
    I should've asked Tokumitsu
    about that girl I saw.
[03:33] Tsumugi
    But I couldn't.
[03:35] Towa
    And... flap, flap, flap!
[03:35] Tsumugi
    Say, Tokumitsu, who was that flying girl?
[03:40] Tsumugi
    There's no way I could've!
    Talk about delusional!
[03:44] Tsumugi
    Yeah, I was just seeing things!
[03:47] Tsumugi
    People can't fly.
[03:50] Tsumugi
    I was obviously seeing things! Obviously!
[03:53] Tsumugi
    I guess the shock of seeing Tokumitsu
    with some girl really got to me.
[04:00] Tsumugi
    I never got to confirm if I could
    make lunch for him, either.
[04:05] Tsumugi
    Tokumitsu...
[04:08] Tsumugi
    Gah, I love him!
[04:11] Tsumugimom
    Honey, you're taking awfully long in there.
    You haven't drowned, have you?
[04:15] Tsumugi
    Mom? I'm fine!
[04:18] Tsumugi
    I'll ask him about lunch again tomorrow.
[04:25] Towa
    What? You don't want lunch?
[04:28] Shintaro
    Yeah. I appreciate the thought, but...
[04:31] Shintaro
    I don't know how I'd explain it at school.
[04:34] Towa
    Shintaro-sama...
[04:36] Towa
    Have you really come to hate me?
[04:40] Shintaro
    Wha?!
[04:41] Towa
    Y-You insisted on sleeping on the
    floor by yourself last night, too!
[04:45] Shintaro
    That's bothering you?
[04:46] Shintaro
    I mean, we can't keep
    sleeping in the same bed!
[04:49] Towa
    You don't want me coming to school, either!
[04:52] Shintaro
    Okay, okay! I'll take the lunch!
[04:55] Shintaro
    Thanks!
[04:56] Towa
    Please come home soon.
[04:59] Towa
    I'll have dinner ready for you.
[05:01] Shintaro
    Okay...
[05:04] Shintaro
    Sorry, I have work today.
[05:07] Shintaro
    I won't be home until after nine.
[05:09] Towa
    Work?
[05:11] Towa
    I'll go with you!
[05:13] Shintaro
    You can't.
[05:15] Shintaro
    M-Man, I'm so lucky to have
    you make lunch for me.
[05:19] Shintaro
    And when I get home, there'll
    be dinner waiting for me.
[05:22] Shintaro
    I'm so happy, I could die!
[05:26] Towa
    Shintaro-sama's happy...
[05:29] Shintaro
    See you later!
[05:34] Shintaro
    I feel kinda bad for dodging
    the conversation so hard.
[05:38] Towa
    Shintaro-sama!
[05:45] Shintaro
    But it's true that I feel super fortunate.
[05:55] Shuichi
    Hey, Shintaro. Let's eat lunch together.
[06:00] Tsumugi
    Okay! Time to ask if I can make lunch for him!
[06:03] Tsumugi
    H-Hey, Tokumitsu...
[06:07] Tsumugi
    Huh?
[06:09] Shuichi
    You brought your own lunch,
    Shintaro? That's a surprise.
[06:12] Tsumugi
    Wait, what?
[06:14] Shintaro
    W-Well, uh, you know...
[06:16] Shintaro
    I saved an old lady I found collapsed on the
    street, and she gave it to me as thanks!
[06:20] Shuichi
    Seriously? Wow!
[06:22] Tsumugi
    Y-You're kidding, right?
[06:24] Shintaro
    Absolutely not.
[06:26] Shintaro
    Why does it matter, anyway?
[06:28] Shintaro
    Let's just eat!
SIGN    Shintaro-sama,
    All the best!
    - Towa
[06:32] Tsumugi
    Hey, wait...
[06:34] Tsumugi
    Did that say "Shintaro"—
[06:36] Shintaro
    Oh, man, I'm starving!
[06:38] Shintaro
    Towa-chan!
[06:41] Tsumugi
    Huh?
[06:42] Tsumugi
    A girl definitely made that
    lunch for him, right?
[06:46] Tsumugi
    His mom isn't in town or
    anything, right? What the heck?
[06:50] Tsumugi
    Huh?
[06:51] Shuichi
    Tsumugi.
[06:52] Shuichi
    If you don't want the omelet, gimme it.
[07:05] Shintaro
    I'm so worn out after that.
[07:08] Shintaro
    Why do I keep coming up with
    these half-assed excuses?
[07:12] Shintaro
    What am I gonna say tomorrow?
[07:14] Shintaro
    Am I gonna save an old lady every day?
[07:18] Shintaro
    I'm starting to think I'm
    kind of a wishy-washy loser.
[07:23] Shintaro
    Oh...
[07:24] Shintaro
    It'll be okay as long as nobody
    finds out Towa-chan's an angel!
SIGN    She's cosplaying!
[07:27] Shintaro
    Wait, the angel thing isn't even the point!
[07:30] Shintaro
    I don't want anyone finding
    out I'm living with a girl!
[07:33] Oldfortuneteller
    You...
[07:35] Oldfortuneteller
    You've got a cloud of girl trouble
    hanging over your head.
[07:39] Shintaro
    Whoa!
[07:41] Shintaro
    What's your deal?!
[07:43] Oldfortuneteller
    Just your friendly
    neighborhood fortuneteller.
[07:47] Oldfortuneteller
    Beware. You've entered a phase
    of intense girl trouble.
[07:55] Shintaro
    What kind of phase is that?
[07:57] Shintaro
    I don't know what you expect
    me to do with that information.
[08:00] Oldfortuneteller
    Oh, you just need to ward it
    off with some potent power.
[08:04] Oldfortuneteller
    These talismans are 10,000 each,
    but I'll cut you a deal: three for 30,000!
[08:11] Shintaro
    I'm fine, thank you!
[08:13] Oldfortuneteller
    Not for long, you aren't!
[08:16] Shintaro
    Yikes. Spiritual scam alert.
[08:19] Shintaro
    Close call.
[08:21] Shintaro
    But maybe the girl trouble part is accurate.
[08:24] Towa
    That's so mean!
[08:26] Shintaro
    R-Right. Towa-chan is no trouble!
[08:30] Shintaro
    Yeah, not at all!
[08:33] Shintaro
    Hello!
[08:35] Boss
    Oh, hey, Tokumitsu-kun.
[08:38] Boss
    How are you feeling?
[08:39] Shintaro
    Oh, right.
[08:41] Shintaro
    Sorry about leaving early on Saturday.
[08:44] Boss
    Don't worry about it.
[08:45] Boss
    I'm glad you're better now.
[08:47] Shintaro
    Yeah, I'm fine now.
[08:49] Shintaro
    I'll go get changed.
[08:51] Boss
    I'm counting on you.
[08:53] Boss
    By the way, Izumi-san's in today.
[08:57] Boss
    You know, the girl who
    was hired two weeks ago.
[08:59] Boss
    I guess this is your first shift together.
[09:02] Boss
    Play nice, okay?
[09:03] Shintaro
    Sure.
[09:07] Shintaro
    Wonder what she's like.
[09:09] Shintaro
    She works the floor, right?
    I'll go say hi later.
[09:20] Noel
    Huh?
[09:21] Shintaro
    Wha?
[09:23] Shintaro
    Che...
[09:25] Shintaro
    rr...ie...s...?
[09:32] Shintaro
    Oh, I-I'm sorry!
[09:42] Staff A
    Whoa, what happened to your face?
[09:45] Shintaro
    Nothing.
[09:49] Shintaro
    "Girl trouble," huh?
[09:58] Shintaro
    Th-Thanks.
[10:01] Shintaro
    Brr, cold! Is this frozen?!
[10:05] Shintaro
    Ah, she's telling me to ice my face.
[10:08] Shintaro
    Hey, uh, sorry about that.
[10:10] Shintaro
    I didn't think there'd be anyone in there.
[10:13] Noel
    It doesn't bother me.
[10:15] Noel
    It's my fault for not
    locking the door, anyway.
[10:17] Shintaro
    I'm Tokumitsu Shintaro. Nice to meet you.
[10:23] Noel
    I'm Izumi Noel.
[10:25] Shintaro
    Noel...
[10:27] Shintaro
    Bûche de Noël?
[10:29] Shintaro
    Wait, were you born on
    Christmas or something?
[10:33] Noel
    Yeah. Is that a problem?
[10:35] Shintaro
    Urk, now I've done it!
[10:37] Noel
    Anyway, I'm not bothered by what
    happened, so you forget it, too.
[10:41] Noel
    And we'll never speak of it again, okay? Bye.
[10:49] Shintaro
    She didn't even let me get a word in.
[10:51] Shintaro
    But...
[10:52] Shintaro
    Thank goodness!
[10:53] Shintaro
    I thought she'd file a complaint
    or something! I'm off the hook!
[11:16] Shintaro
    Forget it! Forget it! Forget it!
[11:19] Shintaro
    She said it didn't bother her!
[11:20] Shintaro
    Just forget it already!
[11:22] Towa
    You're a jerk, Shintaro-sama!
[11:25] Shintaro
    Sorry to you, too, Towa-chan!
[11:26] Shintaro
    Dunno why I'm apologizing,
    but I'm really sorry anyway!
[11:30] Shintaro
    Right. I forgot about the "how do I explain
    Towa-chan's lunches at school" dilemma.

    All the best!

[11:37] Shintaro
    Gah! I'm such a moron!
[11:39] Boss
    Oh, Tokumitsu-kun, you can clock out now.
[11:42] Boss
    You too, Izumi-san.
[11:44] Shintaro
    Oh, right.
[11:46] Noel
    Thank you for today.
[11:47] Shintaro
    Thank you for today.
[11:48] Boss
    No problem. Good work.
[11:50] Boss
    There are some new trial parfaits
    in the break room fridge.
[11:54] Boss
    Have them and let me know
    what you think later.
[11:57] Shintaronoel
    Thank you.
[12:04] Noel
    What? If you don't want to
    eat with me, I'll leave.
[12:08] Shintaro
    That's not it. Just...
[12:11] Shintaro
    I'm starting to get the feeling
    I'm just a hopeless person.
[12:18] Noel
    You did your job perfectly fine.
[12:20] Shintaro
    Huh? Thanks...
[12:23] Shintaro
    Not what I'm talking about, though.
[12:26] Shintaro
    Wait, was she... complimenting me?
[12:29] Noel
    Found the parfaits.
[12:35] Shintaro
    Hey, cherry par—
[12:41] Shintaro
    Crap! Forget about that!
[12:43] Shintaro
    Izumi-san said it didn't bother her!
[12:45] Shintaro
    Th-Those look great.
[12:51] Shintaro
    Wait, is it really bothering you after all?
[12:54] Noel
    Nope! Not in the least!
[12:57] Noel
    What were we even talking about?! I forgot!
[12:59] Shintaro
    Oh, yeah, same. I remember nothing!
[13:03] Shintaro
    Nothing about cherries...
[13:05] Shintaro
    Ah!
[13:07] Shintaro
    Way to put my foot in it!
[13:09] Shintaro
    S-Sorry.
[13:11] Shintaro
    I mean, of course.
[13:13] Shintaro
    There's no way a girl would be
    fine with being seen changing.
[13:16] Shintaro
    That was so insensitive of me.
[13:19] Shintaro
    Izumi-san, listen...
[13:23] Shintaro
    But first, the cooling in
    this room is out of control!
[13:26] Shintaro
    Where's the remote?
[13:31] Shintaro
    Huh? Are you okay?
[13:34] Shintaro
    You're trembling.
[13:35] Noel
    Don't touch me!
[13:38] Noel
    I...
[13:41] Noel
    I'm a yuki-onna!
[13:45] Shintaro
    Huh?
[13:52] Customer B
    Brr.
[13:54] Customer C
    The ice cream's so hard!
[13:57] Customer M
    Excuse me. Please raise the temperature.
[14:00] Staff A
    R-Right away.
[14:02] Noel
    I'm a yuki-onna!
[14:09] Shintaro
    I...
[14:10] Shintaro
    I see. A yuki-onna.
[14:13] Shintaro
    Angels are real, so I guess
    yuki-onna would be, too.
SIGN    Messed-up Understanding
[14:19] Noel
    W-Wait!
[14:20] Noel
    I didn't mean that! I was kidding!
[14:23] Noel
    The cooling's... so broken...
[14:26] Shintaro
    The more Izumi-san panics, the
    more intense the snowstorm gets?
[14:29] Shintaro
    Listen, calm down!
[14:31] Shintaro
    I'm surprisingly okay with the supernatural!
[14:34] Noel
    You... believe me?
[14:38] Shintaro
    Yeah.
[14:40] Staff A
    Boss, what happened to the cooling?
[14:42] Boss
    I don't see anything wrong...
[14:44] Staff A
    But it's so cold!
[14:46] Shintaro
    Get changed, Izumi-san.
[14:48] Shintaro
    I'll change in the hallway!
[14:49] Shintaro
    We need to get out of here!
[14:51] Noel
    Huh? O-Okay!
[14:53] Shintaro
    See you!
[14:55] Noel
    G-Goodbye!
[15:02] Shintaro
    We should be far enough now, right?
[15:04] Noel
    Y-Yeah, probably.
[15:07] Shintaro
    Huh?
[15:08] Shintaro
    Those parfaits...

    and just grabbed them.

[15:51] Towa
    Games in the human world are so much fun.
[15:54] Towa
    I got engrossed in it.

[16:30] Tsumugi
    I will.
[16:37] Shintaro
    The parfait was pretty good, huh?
[16:40] Shintaro
    Though it ended up more like sherbet...
[16:43] Noel
    Yeah.
[16:44] Shintaro
    We'll have to go give the glasses back.
[16:47] Noel
    Yeah.
[16:48] Shintaro
    And I didn't know we went to the same school!
[16:51] Noel
    Yeah.
[16:55] Shintaro
    Awkward...
[16:57] Noel
    Hey...
[17:00] Noel
    Do you really believe me?
[17:02] Noel
    I mean...
[17:04] Noel
    About the yuki-onna thing?
[17:10] Shintaro
    Yeah.
[17:12] Noel
    Why? Cooler trouble sounds
    more realistic, doesn't it?
[17:17] Shintaro
    Why? I mean...
[17:20] Shintaro
    Because you said so. And I believe you.
[17:26] Shintaro
    Honestly, I was thinking angels being
    real meant there'd be devils, too.
[17:31] Shintaro
    I wasn't expecting a yuki-onna, though.
[17:38] Noel
    What I'm about to say...
[17:40] Noel
    stays between us, okay?!
[17:46] Shintaro
    Okay.
[17:49] Noel
    My family's had yuki-onna for generations.
[17:53] Shintaro
    For generations?!
[17:55] Noel
    I don't know if it's in our genes or what.
[17:59] Noel
    My mother and grandmother
    were both born yuki-onna.
[18:03] Noel
    When we're mad, sad, or embarrassed...
[18:09] Noel
    We blizzard it up.
[18:11] Shintaro
    "Blizzard it up"? Like a boss...
[18:14] Noel
    I'm awful at controlling my emotions.
[18:18] Noel
    My little sister and the
    rest of my family manage,
[18:21] Noel
    but I always end up like
    that at the drop of a hat.
[18:26] Noel
    So I acted aloof and standoffish
    and tried not to make any friends.
[18:33] Noel
    I was alone all the time and
    started skipping school and stuff.
[18:39] Noel
    But once I started high school,
[18:42] Noel
    I thought this couldn't
    continue and tried to change.
[18:46] Noel
    At home, all I do is read
    manga or watch anime,
[18:50] Noel
    so I started working as a waitress to
    get used to interacting with people.
[18:55] Noel
    And yet...
[18:57] Noel
    Here we are anyway!
[18:59] Noel
    I caused so much trouble just
    because someone saw me changing!
[19:03] Noel
    I really should just hole up at home!
[19:06] Shintaro
    Calm down, Izumi-san!
[19:08] Shintaro
    It's my fault for walking
    in on you to begin with!
[19:11] Noel
    No, it's not!
[19:13] Noel
    It's my fault for recalling it despite
    trying not to let it bother me!
[19:17] Noel
    Why am I such a lost cause?
[19:23] Shintaro
    You were really trying, Izumi-san.
[19:26] Shintaro
    You greeted customers with a smile, too.
[19:30] Shintaro
    Even if people want to change,
[19:32] Shintaro
    most of them don't actually
    do anything about it.
[19:35] Shintaro
    I think you're amazing!
[19:37] Shintaro
    You're not a lost cause!
[19:53] Shintaro
    S-Sorry! Did I say something
    insensitive again?!
[19:57] Noel
    No, it's not that.
[20:00] Noel
    It's just the first time I've talked to anyone
    but my family about the yuki-onna thing,
[20:03] Noel
    and the first time anyone's
    reassured me like that.
[20:07] Noel
    Thank you.
[20:09] Shintaro
    You're welcome.
[20:11] Noel
    H-Hey, if you don't mind...
[20:15] Noel
    Could we be friends?
[20:23] Noel
    I've never actually had any friends,
[20:26] Noel
    so I might be terrible at friending, but...
[20:30] Shintaro
    What the heck is "friending"?
[20:34] Shintaro
    If you'll have me.
[20:37] Noel
    Are you sure? I'm a yuki-onna, you know!
[20:40] Shintaro
    Uh... Yeah.
[20:42] Shintaro
    Here's to our friendship, Izumi-san.
[20:46] Noel
    Noel.
[20:49] Noel
    Call me Noel.
[20:55] Noel
    C-Can I call you Shintaro?
[20:58] Shintaro
    Sure.
[21:00] Noel
    I made a friend!
[21:03] Noel
    I'm so happy!
[21:06] Shintaro
    Wait, don't yuki-onna melt away
    and disappear if they're exposed?!
[21:12] Noel
    No, no way!
[21:14] Shintaro
    Thank goodness.
[21:17] Shintaro
    Hmm? A feather?
[21:21] Shintaro
    Towa-chan?!
[21:23] Towa
    So it was you, Shintaro-sama. Good.
[21:27] Shintaro
    Uh, there's nothing good
    about this, Towa-chan!
[21:34] Tsumugi
    Huh? Tokumitsu?
[21:38] Shintaro
    Tsutsumi-san?!
[21:41] Tsumugi
    Huh?
[21:43] Tsumugi
    Wait... What?!
[21:46] Shintaro
    I'm Tokumitsu Shintaro.
[21:48] Shintaro
    Other than the fact that I live alone,
[21:50] Shintaro
    I'm a perfectly normal sixteen-year-old.
[21:53] Shintaro
    Or I was, until last weekend.
[21:58] Shintaro
    But, uh...
[21:59] Shintaro
    There's nothing normal about all this.
