[00:04] Shizuka
    The moment I was born,
[00:05] Shizuka
    my fate was set in stone.
[00:10] Shizuka
    I was destined for a life of solitude.
[00:16] Shizuka
    I had long resigned myself to it.
[00:19] Shizuka
    For a princess born into royalty,
    it was inevitable and inescapable.
[00:28] Shizuka
    And yet I longed...

SIGN    Reminiscing Lunch
SIGN    B-Come Tast-E
SIGN    I went all-out making lunch this morning <3
SIGN    To Rentaro-kun
    You might think this is all a bit overblown,
    but I'm writing this letter to express how thankful I am for all you do.
    Rentaro-kun, thank you so much for always bringing joy into my life.
    I've put all my feelings of gratitude into making lunch for you.
    Would you eat with me, if you don't mind?
    I'll be waiting on the rooftop during lunch break <3
    -Hakari
    P.S. I believe my figure has become
    more shapely these days.
    I'm including a photograph
    I took recently along with this letter.
    Enjoy <3
SIGN    To Rentaro!
    You'd better come to the rooftop during lunch break!
    Promise me you will!!
    Don't ask why! Just do it!
    I made too many side dishes, is all!
    (Though part of it was me hoping you would eat them...)
    So don't get the wrong idea! I'm just repaying you here!
    We gotta eat lunch together!!!!
    - Inda Karane
SIGN    To Rentaro-kun
    It feels a little strange writing to you
    when we see each other all the time.
    But I'm much better at expressing
    my feelings through writing, so I figured I should
    tell you how I constantly feel about you this way.
    Thank you truly for always looking out for me
    and respecting my feelings.
    I will treasure the days I spend with you for life.
    Rentaro-kun, do you happen to have time
    during lunch break today? If you do,
    then I would love to have lunch with you.
    -Yoshimoto Shizuka
SIGN    When a > 0 and b > 0,
    the Rentaro a/b + b/a >= 2 Nano inequation becomes
    a/b > 0 and b/a > 0.
    With the addition of "Gratitude" and the arithmetic mean of "Lunch,"
    we get Rentaro = a/b + b/a >= Lunch 2√(a/b x b/a)
    = 2x Happiness
    = Nano
    Lunch a² + Lunch b² >= 2ab
    (a-b)² = If you eat it, it no longer exists
    As such, when a = b, lunch will be proven.
SIGN    Rentaro, thanks for everything, aye.
    It looks like today will be a beautiful day,
    so I wanna eat lunch with you, aye!
    It'll be delicious for sure, aye!
    Note: Heat this area up for a surprise!

    Do you have any recommendations?

[04:40] Rentaro

    Sir Kamakuru, I do hereby

[07:38] Kamakuru
    Princess Io, I swear on my life that
    I will protect you, no matter what it takes!
[07:44] Rentaro
    Those were the very first words exchanged
    between Princess Io and Sir Kamakuru.
[08:24] Rentaro
    And then, the two locked eyes.
[08:28] Rentaro
    They would rise above their status
    as princess and knight,
[08:31] Rentaro
    and give their hearts to each other.

    She is to marry into our ally's royal family.

    It's nothing! Just my way of
    saying thanks for the book.
[10:59] Rentaro
    Do you read a lot?
[11:03] Rentaro
    I see. No wonder you knew about that series.
[11:07] Rentaro
    I've read lots of romance novels in the past,
[11:10] Rentaro
    but that was something else!
[11:12] Rentaro
    A charming love story and an epic adventure!
[11:15] Rentaro
    I was panicking hard when Io and
    Kamakuru had their misunderstanding!
[11:27] Rentaro
    "This is my favorite item, too."
[11:30] Rentaro
    "I have carried it from an early age."
[11:34] Rentaro
    "She pored over the text repeatedly."
[11:37] Rentaro
    I see. That explains it.
[11:41] Rentaro
    I mean, the way you talk...
[11:44] Rentaro
    You always flip the pages
    and find the right line to say in an instant.
[11:49] Rentaro
    You must know that book
    like the back of your hand.
[11:55] Rentaro
    I've never read the same book
    over and over like that.
[11:59] Rentaro
    That's so cool.
[12:03] Rentaro
    Yoshimoto-san?
[12:07] Rentaro

    "Given the kind of person I am,"

    "there has never been even one person
    I could call a friend in all my life."

    "Only the world I saw
    through here gave me respite."
[12:29] Rentaro
    "I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
[12:33] Rentaro
    "For you do not shun
    the person I have become."
[12:36] Rentaro
    Shun you? Why would I?!

[15:42] Shizuka
    What did I expect? Nobody...
[15:45] (Flashback) Girl 1
    What's your deal, Yoshimoto-san?
    Why do you always talk through that book?
[15:49] (Flashback) Girl 2
    Can't you just talk normally? It's creepy.
[15:53] (Flashback) Shizukamom
    Why can't you talk like the other kids?!
[15:56] (Flashback) Shizukamom
    Come on, speak up!
[15:58] (Flashback) Shizukamom
    You'll never be able to talk
    if you keep clinging to that stupid book!
[16:01] (Flashback) Shizuka
    S-Sorry...
[16:02] (Flashback) Shizukamom
    Come on, say something!
[16:05] (Flashback) Shizukamom
    Speak!
[16:06] (Flashback) Shizukamom
    Speak already!
[16:07] (Flashback) Shizukamom
    Why are you such a freak?!
[16:14] Shizuka
    Nobody has the time
    to talk to a freak like me.
[16:35] Rentaro
    Oh, good. You're still here, Yoshimoto-san.
[16:39] Rentaro
    You see, I wanted to repay you today
    for lending me your books.
[16:51] Rentaro
    Do you have a smartphone?
[16:55] Rentaro
    Great.
[16:56] Rentaro
    There's an app I want you to install.
[16:58] Rentaro
    Don't worry. I've confirmed it's safe.
[17:11] Rentaro
    Yeah, that's the one.
[17:14] Rentaro
    Once you've installed it, could you
    use it to import the file I send you?
[17:23] Rentaro
    Done?
[17:25] Rentaro
    Now open it up.
[17:32] Shizuka
    It's the first volume of Circlet Love Story*.
[17:35] Shizuka
    But I'm sure it hasn't been
    released as an e-book.
[17:39] Rentaro
    Now, when you select a part of the text...
[17:44] Shizuka
    "I am Kamakuru,
[17:46] Shizuka
    a knight sworn to protect
    our beloved princess."
[17:49] Rentaro
    It's a text-to-speech software.
[17:53] Rentaro
    It'll read out whatever text that is
    inputted using a synthesized voice.
[18:00] Shizuka
    No way...
[18:02] Shizuka
    He went through the whole book and typed
    every single word into this thing?
[18:06] Shizuka
    And he did it all manually?!
[18:10] Rentaro
    The way you were doing it, both you
    and the person you were talking to
[18:15] Rentaro
    had to look at the book, right?
[18:17] Rentaro
    So you never really got to talk face-to-face.
[18:21] Rentaro
    But if you use this app...
[18:24] Shizuka
    "You can look each other in the eye."
[18:26] Rentaro
    ...while you talk.
[18:30] Rentaro
    I can't even begin to imagine
    how hard it is for you to talk out loud.
[18:38] Rentaro
    So I can't bring myself to push you to do it.
[18:43] Rentaro
    But...
[18:44] Rentaro
    I did want to make communicating
    with others easier for you,
[18:48] Rentaro
    and I hope this helps, even a little.
[18:51] Rentaro
    Now, let's give it a shot.
[18:53] Rentaro
    Try saying something to me.
[19:04] Shizuka
    "I love you."
[19:15] Shizuka
    "I apologize."
[19:16] Shizuka
    "Pray, pay it no heed."
[19:21] Shizuka
    "I ask not for an answer."
[19:25] Shizuka
    "I know already there is
    a maiden promised to you."
[19:29] Shizuka
    "I only wished to make
    my feelings known before..."
[19:33] Rentaro
    Ah, I see now.
[19:37] Rentaro
    It's not because she's my soulmate,
[19:39] Rentaro
    or because I have to save her life,
    or anything like that.
[19:45] Rentaro
    I truly, genuinely just...
[19:53] Rentaro
    "I love you, too!"
[19:59] Shizuka
    "But we are destined to never be together."
[20:08] Rentaro
    "If fate stands in our way...
[20:15] Rentaro
    we need only break through it!"
[20:19] Rentaro
    "Let's go forth together,"
[20:21] Rentaro
    Shizuka!
[20:32] Rentaro
    And there you have it.
[20:35] Rentaro
    Could I have your permission to make
    Yoshimoto Shizuka-chan my newest girlfriend?
[20:39] Karane
    Did your damn brain rot away?!
[20:42] Karane
    Did. Your. Damn. Brain. Rot. Away?!
[20:44] Rentaro
    I can't even argue with that.
[20:46] Hakari
    Rentaro-kun... how could you...
[20:50] Karane
    Hakari...
[20:51] Hakari
    You've found a new love,
    and yet you have the grace not to dump us!
[20:56] Hakari
    How could you be so endlessly kind?!
[20:58] Karane
    Somebody stop this brainrot epidemic!
[21:00] Rentaro
    No! My feelings for you haven't
    shifted to Shizuka-chan or anything!
[21:05] Rentaro
    If I could make an analogy,
[21:06] Rentaro
    it's not that you'll be sharing
    the spoils from the same old oil field.
[21:08] Rentaro
    It's that meeting Shizuka-chan has
    unearthed a whole new, untapped reserve!
[21:11] Karane
    Could you maybe not compare your
    love for your girlfriends to fossil fuels?
[21:15] Rentaro
    Anyway, I'll cherish the two of you
    and Shizuka-chan just the same as ever—
[21:20] Rentaro
    No, even more than before!
    And I'll prove it with my actions!
[21:25] Karane
    Even more than before? Really?
[21:27] Rentaro
    Really. And if you ever feel
    like I'm not, tell me.
[21:32] Rentaro
    And I'll atone for it
[21:35] Rentaro
    by committing seppuku.

    Who're you, a samurai?!
