[00:02] Rentaro     You may already recognize them     because we're all in the same class, [00:05] Rentaro     but these are my girlfriends,     Hanazono Hakari-san and Inda Karane-san. [00:09] Hakari     Pleased to meet you. [00:11] Karane     Right. Heya. [00:13] Rentaro     And this is Yoshimoto Shizuka-chan,     also my girlfriend. [00:18] Hakari     I wonder what she's like. [00:20] Karane     She seems rather ordinary at first glance. [00:23] Shizuka     "Likewise." [00:24] Shizuka     "It is a pleasure to make thine acquaintance." [00:27] Hakarikarane     Quirky be thy name! SIGN    The 100 Girlfriends     Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You SIGN    Crossing 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! SIGN    Hngh [02:00] Rentaro     Shizuka-chan. [02:02] Rentaro     The data I sent you for volume 2     of Circlet Love Story [02:04] Rentaro     also includes the names of our classmates. [02:06] Rentaro     Give it a try. [02:08] Shizuka     "I am most grateful." [02:10] Rentaro     Shizuka-chan uses quotes     from her favorite series to talk. [02:13] Rentaro     See last time's Episode 3 for more details. [02:15] Karane     Quit breaking the fourth wall because     you're too lazy to do the exposition. [02:20] Shizuka     "Rentaro-kun." "Lady Hanazono." "Lady Inda." [02:24] Karane     What's with the "Lady"? Just "san" is fine. [02:29] Rentaro     She's a librarian, and she loves books. [02:33] Rentaro     She does this cute thing     with her toes when she's reading. [02:37] Rentaro     They move differently depending on     how she feels about a particular scene. SIGN    Happy [02:42] Rentaro     They're like a puppy's tail. SIGN    Scared [02:45] Rentaro     It's so cute how expressive they are. [02:49] Shizuka     I had no idea! [02:53] Rentaro     Speaking of cute gestures, [02:55] Rentaro     Hakari has a habit of putting a finger     to her mouth when she's thinking. [02:59] Rentaro     And when she's really focused,     she kind of om-noms it, [03:02] Rentaro     which is so very hot to me. [03:04] Hakari     W-Was I really doing something so naughty? [03:08] Rentaro     And when Karane's trying to     brush off a compliment, [03:11] Rentaro     she twirls her pigtails with her fingers. [03:14] Rentaro     It's such a contrast     to her usual self, it's adorable! [03:17] Karane     Twirl? Who, me?! [03:21] Shizuka     He... [03:21] Hakari     He... [03:22] Karane     He... [03:23] All     He cares so much about me! [03:28] Rentaro     Oh, right. When we kiss... [03:31] Rentaro     Hakari pouts a little, and Karane     gets so into it that she stops breathing. [03:36] Rentaro     It's just so... [03:38] Shizuka     "P-Prithee! Do you mean to say     you have previously partaken in bussing?" [03:43] Rentaro     Bussing? [03:45] Shizuka     "B-B-Buh-Buh-Buh..." [03:49] Shizuka     "And when you say bussing, [03:51] Shizuka     do you truly mean bussing?!" [03:53] Rentaro     Yeah, well, bussing is bussing,     so it truly is bussing. [04:00] Shizuka     "Forgive me. I appear to have     lost my composure." [04:03] Shizuka     "I see. So you have already     locked lips with her." [04:07] Hakari     Wait, Yoshimoto-san,     are you interested in kissing, too? [04:13] Shizuka     "I... I..." [04:17] Shizuka     "It is my god-ordained destiny to     remain chaste until marriage!" SIGN    Destiny [04:21] Hakari     Destiny?! [04:22] Rentaro     God?! [04:24] Shizuka     "Forgive me." [04:26] Rentaro     It's fine. We can take it slow and steady. [04:30] Rentaro     And personally... [04:34] Rentaro     I want to kiss you when you're ready. SIGN    Want to     kiss now SIGN    Want it right now,     baby, right now [04:48] Hakari     Say "aah." [04:51] Karane     Say "aah!" [04:53] Hakari     Aah. [04:54] Karane     Aah! [04:56] Hakari     Hey, quit trying to butt in! [04:58] Karane     L-Listen, I had the idea first! [05:00] Rentaro     I'm having my cake... [05:02] Rentaro     and eating it, too... [05:06] Karane     What are you doing?! [05:08] Karane     You're such a fool! [05:10] Karane     And get this, they were like... [05:13] Hakari     Forget that, Rentaro-kun.     Would you like to accompany me... [05:15] Karane     Hey, I wasn't done talking! [05:17] Hakari     It's about time I had my turn! [05:19] Karane     You talked his ear off a minute ago! [05:21] Hakari     Right back at you! [05:23] Rentaro     Mind your personal space,     or you're gonna kiss each other again. [05:27] Karane     You stubborn pig! [05:29] Rentaro     Yeah, Shizuka-chan's staying quiet. [05:32] Rentaro     I guess she needs to get used to them first. [05:35] Rentaro     Which is why... [05:37] Rentaro     I came prepared. SIGN    N. O. Thawts [05:41] Sign     Head M. T. [05:41] Rentaro     People usually put up a front     before breaking the ice with someone new. [05:46] Rentaro     We're afraid we'll alienate them     if we show our true feelings. [05:51] Rentaro     And that's why... [05:53] Rentaro     It becomes much easier to open your heart     to people who have already seen into it. [06:06] Rentaro     When you've exposed      your true self to someone, [06:09] Rentaro     you overcome the fear     of meeting them head-on, [06:11] Rentaro     making it easier to relate. [06:16] Rentaro     Girls, I brought a pack of cards. [06:19] Rentaro     Do you want to play Old Maid? [06:24] Hakarikarane     Old Maid? [06:24] Shizuka     "Old... Maid?" [06:26] Rentaro     Oh, but let's spice things up a little     by adding a penalty for losing. [06:32] Rentaro     How about the loser     gets tickled by the winner? [06:36] Rentaro     Indeed. There exists a way to force     someone to reveal their emotions. [06:41] Rentaro     And that's laughter. [06:43] Rentaro     The goals are "contact" and "laughter." [06:45] Rentaro     I call it Operation Everyone Tickles     Each Other So We Become Friends! [06:51] Karane     Rentaro... [06:52] Hakari     Rentaro-kun... [06:54] Shizuka     Tickling me? [06:56] All     Want! [06:57] Rentaro     Why does this suddenly feel like three-on-one? [06:59] Narrator     And so began the game of Old Maid. [07:02] Narrator     End of round one. The winner: Rentaro. [07:06] Rentaro     Old Maid, a super repetitive     and uneventful game. [07:09] Rentaro     It ended in between cuts. [07:11] Narrator     The loser: Karane. [07:12] Karane     Wha? Last place? I don't believe it. [07:14] Karane     Hmph! Bring on your penalty     or whatever, I can take it! [07:18] Hakari     At least try to hide the smile! [07:20] Rentaro     Here I come, Karane! [07:27] Karane     Hmph! I-It's not like it t-tickles     or anything, okay?! [07:31] Rentaro     What is even the point of trying to hide it? [07:45] Rentaro     You're making it look like     I'm doing something dirty here! [07:51] Narrator     Round two winner: Rentaro. [07:54] Narrator     The loser: Hakari. [07:56] Hakari     Oh, no... I've lost. [07:58] Hakari     Woohoo! Let's go! [07:59] Karane     Girl, you're saying the quiet part out loud. [08:03] Hakari     Please be gentle. [08:05] Karane     Who told you to strip?! [08:07] Karane     No! It's illegal now! [08:08] Karane     No stripping! [08:10] Rentaro     Here I come, Hakari! [08:17] Hakari     Rentaro-kun... [08:19] Hakari     His big hands... [08:21] Hakari     His sturdy fingers! [08:23] Hakari     They're running roughshod over my body! [08:25] Hakari     Oh... oh... ohhh! [08:30] Rentaro     Are we really allowed to air this?! [08:33] Hakari     S-Stop it! [08:35] Hakari     I-I'm sorry. I'm just very ticklish... [08:39] Rentaro     Oh, is that so? Don't worry about me. [08:46] Hakari     Saved by the bell! [08:47] Hakari     I was this close to ecsta-pee! [08:49] Hakari     I-I'm in the clear, right? [08:50] Hakari     I am, right?! [08:53] Narrator     Round three winner: Rentaro. [08:56] Rentaro     The universe wills me     to tickle all who stand before me. [09:01] Narrator     The loser: Shizuka. [09:04] Rentaro     But, hey, I was kinda looking forward to this. [09:08] Rentaro     I can't wait to hear how Shizuka-chan laughs. [09:12] Rentaro     Okay, here I come, Shizuka-chan! [09:15] Rentaro     Tickle, tickle, tickle! [09:16] Rentaro     Tickle, tickle, tickle! [09:18] Rentaro     Tickle, tickle, tickle! [09:19] Rentaro     Tickle, tickle, tickle! [09:21] Shizuka     "She gave a hearty laugh." [09:22] Rentaro     Okay, that is not what I was expecting! [09:25] Rentaro     Huh? You even laugh through quotes? [09:28] Shizuka     "Alas, reality is a cruel mistress." [09:31] Rentaro     But she looked super adorable,     so I'm going back in! [09:34] Rentaro     Tickle, tickle, tickle! [09:35] Shizuka     "She gave a hearty laugh." [09:37] Shizuka     "She gave a hearty laugh." [09:38] Karane     Uh... I guess you could say     she's laughing really hard? [09:40] Shizuka     "She gave a hearty laugh." [09:40] Hakari     It's the quietest burst     of laughter ever recorded. [09:42] Shizuka     "She gave a hearty laugh." [09:44] Shizuka     "She gave a hearty laugh." [09:44] Karane     But now that I think about it... [09:47] Hakari     ...Rentaro-kun hasn't lost once yet. [09:47] Shizuka     "She gave a hearty laugh." [09:49] Karane     The mission "Get Tickled     by Rentaro" is cleared. [09:52] Shizuka     "She gave a hearty laugh." [09:52] Hakari     The next mission is... [09:54] Karane     I wanna tickle him! [09:56] Hakari     And feel all over his body! [09:58] Hakarikarane     But to do that... [10:00] Karane     I need to win this game! [10:02] Hakari     It's a battle I can't afford to lose! [10:05] Rentaro     Where'd these tryhard vibes come from? [10:07] Rentaro     D'oh! [10:09] Narrator     Round four loser: Rentaro. [10:12] Narrator     And the winner: Shizuka. [10:15] Rentaro     Bring it, Shizuka-chan! [10:18] Shizuka     "As you wish." [10:37] Shizuka     "How is that?" [10:39] Rentaro     What the heck? This actually     tickles more than I thought! [10:42] Hakari     Poke a man?! [10:48] Hakari     Why? This is the perfect excuse     to feel him all over! [10:52] Hakari     Even if she let her hand wander     to Places That Must Not Be Named, [10:56] Hakari     she could get away with it right now! [10:58] Hakari     Was it this shy and timid demeanor     that attracted Rentaro-kun to her? [11:04] Hakari     Puppy dog eyes. [11:06] Hakari     Cute gestures. [11:08] Hakari     High-pitched voice. [11:10] Hakari     Rentaro-kun! Tee-hee! [11:12] Hakari     My appeal rests on careful     and calculated groundwork. [11:14] Hakari     I am what you would call a poser! SIGN    Poser [11:16] Hakari     On the other hand, she is so timid, [11:19] Hakari     earnest and frail, [11:20] Hakari     anyone who sees her     would feel the urge to protect her! [11:23] Hakari     She's a natural-born smol floof! [11:25] Hakari     Argh! [11:27] Hakari     A formidable foe has appeared! SIGN    Natural-Born Smol Floof [11:30] Hakari     A foe far more formidable than the train     wreck that is Karane-san has appeared! SIGN    An Insurmountable Wall!!! [11:35] Shizuka     "How is that?" [11:41] Shizuka     "I would say you have     suffered enough for one day." [11:43] Rentaro     Man, I laughed so much! Maybe too much. [11:47] Rentaro     Sorry, I need to hit the restroom. [11:49] Hakari     No way, does he need to ecsta-pee, too?! SIGN    ba-dump     ba-dump [11:51] Sign     ° Way off [11:55] Karane     Hey, Yoshimoto. [11:59] Karane     What was that? [12:01] Hakari     Karane-san? [12:02] Karane     What's your deal? [12:16] Karane     You're denying yourself     because we're here, aren't you? [12:21] Shizuka     "That is not true." [12:22] Karane     It's obvious! [12:24] Karane     You're the only one keeping     your distance from Rentaro! [12:27] Karane     And you stopped at poking him when I'm sure     you wanted to tickle him all over, too! [12:31] Karane     Why are you acting so stupid?! [12:34] Hakari     Probably because you're scary. [12:37] Hakari     You yell at the drop of a hat, too. [12:39] Karane     You wha?     When have I ever yelled at anyone?! [12:43] Hakari     Ignorance is bliss, huh? [12:47] Shizuka     "The two of you were"     "Rentaro-kun's" "lover from before." [12:51] Shizuka     "As I am but a newcomer,     I must stay out of your way." [12:54] Karane     Hmph! I figured as much. [12:57] Karane     But you know what?     You're Rentaro's girlfriend now! [13:01] Karane     There's no need to hesitate! [13:03] Karane     It pisses me off, [13:05] Karane     looking at you fumbling around     not saying what you wanna say! [13:09] Hakari     Says the girl who'd rather pick     a fight than admit how she feels. [13:14] Karane     Shut yer mouth!     Are you trying to pick a fight?! [13:17] Shizuka     "You are right. I apologize." [13:20] Karane     That's exactly what I'm talking about!     Why don't you fight back?! [13:24] Hakari     As if that wouldn't make you even more mad. [13:28] Karane     You asked for it. [13:29] Karane     I'm losing it, and you have     nobody to blame but yourself! [13:32] Hakari     Do you even have any temper left to lose? [13:35] Shizuka     "If that is the case,     I will speak from the heart." [13:40] Shizuka     "In truth, I am petrified with fear." [13:45] Karane     What... Am I really that scary? [13:48] Hakari     So you do care. [13:50] Shizuka     "That is not what I meant to say." [13:53] Shizuka     "The only thing I fear is..." [13:55] Shizuka     "Hanazono-san." "conducts herself     in an elegant and graceful manner." [13:59] Shizuka     "She is most ladylike,     and possesses great physical charm." [14:02] Shizuka     "Inda-san." "is a beauty blessed with     highly desirable facial features." [14:06] Shizuka     "Most of all, she has the confidence to match." [14:10] Shizuka     "Should I stand beside the two as an equal..." [14:14] Shizuka     "Rentaro-kun." "may compare us." [14:17] Shizuka     "I fear that most of all." [14:19] Karane     Wh-What the heck? [14:20] Hakari     What she said... [14:23] Karanehakari     That's just so adorable! [14:27] Shizuka     "I am ordinary." "And plain." [14:30] Shizuka     "Her physical appearance     resembled that of a child." [14:32] Shizuka     "Her personality," "gloomy and reserved." [14:36] Shizuka     "In your company,"     "the difference is night and day." [14:40] Karane     H-Hey, you're plenty cute yourself. [14:45] Karane     You're tiny and gentle. [14:47] Karane     I-I think those are     nice qualities in a girl. Hmph. [14:53] Karane     S-Sorry for saying     you pissed me off and stuff... [14:57] Hakari     Exactly! There is nothing     for you to worry about. [15:01] Hakari     Karane-san is always pissed off. [15:03] Karane     Wha? [15:04] Hakari     And Rentaro-kun's love runs deeper     than we could ever imagine. [15:10] Hakari     I bet he could list dozens of points     he likes about you off the top of his head. [15:19] Shizuka     "Inda-san." "Hanazono-san." [15:21] Karane     A-Anyway! [15:22] Karane     My point is, stop holding back because of us! [15:27] Karane     If you've got something to say to Rentaro     or anything you want him to do, [15:30] Karane     you speak your mind! Got it?! [15:33] Hakari     Also, you can call us     by our first names, Shizuka-san. [15:38] Hakari     We're fellow girlfriends, after all. [15:40] Hakari     Isn't that right, Karane-san? [15:41] Karane     H-Hmph! I guess! [15:44] Karane     You okay with that, Shizuka? [15:50] Shizuka     "Yes." "Hakari-san." "Karane-san." [15:55] Rentaro     That went better than I ever expected. [16:01] (Flashback) Shizuka     "How is that?" [16:07] (Flashback) Rentaro     Karane's glaring at Shizuka-chan? [16:10] (Flashback) Rentaro     This is bad. I don't know what's causing it, [16:12] (Flashback) Rentaro     but I need to step in     before a fight breaks out. [16:16] (Flashback) Rentaro     No, that's not the answer! [16:19] (Flashback) Rentaro     Why did I start this game     of Old Maid in the first place? [16:23] (Flashback) Shizuka     "How is that?" [16:23] (Flashback) Rentaro     If, every time I was worried,     anxious, or scared, [16:27] (Flashback) Rentaro     I made them hide how they truly feel, [16:30] (Flashback) Rentaro     they'll never get closer to each other! [16:33] (Flashback) Rentaro     If I want them to show the courage to do that, [16:36] (Flashback) Rentaro     then I also need to show     the courage to let them! [16:39] (Flashback) Rentaro     Sorry, I need to hit the restroom. [16:42] Rentaro     Like I thought, Karane was mad     for Shizuka-chan and not at her. [16:45] Rentaro     Hakari stepped in so Shizuka-chan     wouldn't face the brunt of that anger. [16:50] Rentaro     And Shizuka-chan accepted what Karane said     and bravely revealed how she felt! [16:56] Rentaro     These girls! [17:00] Rentaro     I'm back. [17:02] Hakari     Welcome back. [17:04] Karane     Rentaro, we're redoing     that last loser's penalty. [17:09] Rentaro     Huh? Wh-Why? [17:11] Karane     That silly poking doesn't count as tickling! [17:15] Karane     Shizuka's gotta tickle you properly! [17:18] Hakari     That's right. [17:19] Hakari     You want another chance     to tickle him, don't you, Shizuka-san? [17:26] Shizuka     They're both... [17:27] Shizuka     trying to help me. [17:32] Shizuka     I have to make their kindness count. [17:36] (Flashback) Karane     Stop holding back! [17:39] (Flashback) Karane     ...anything you want him to do, [17:40] (Flashback) Karane     you speak your mind! [17:44] Shizuka     I must speak my mind... [17:46] Shizuka     Say how I truly feel! [17:49] Shizuka     "I want to do it." [17:53] Shizuka     "I wish to be kissed." [17:58] Shizuka     "I said," "It is my god-ordained destiny     to remain chaste until marriage!" [18:03] Shizuka     "But that... was a lie." [18:06] Rentaro     I-It's fine. I figured as much. [18:09] Shizuka     "Deep in her heart," [18:11] Shizuka     "I wished to share a kiss with you." [18:14] Rentaro     Thank you. [18:16] Rentaro     I'm so glad to hear it! [18:36] Rentaro     U-Uh, my bad! You were just so cute! [18:56] Rentaro     Shizuka-chan. [19:05] Rentaro     H-Huh? [19:07] Rentaro     Shizuka-chan? [19:09] Rentaro     Hello? Anybody home? SIGN    ba-dump ba-dump [19:10] Rentaro     Can you see me? Shizuka-chan?! SIGN    ba-dump ba-dump [19:13] Hakari     You made her speak her mind so clearly, [19:17] Hakari     so don't you think you should do the same? [19:20] Karane     Huh? Wh-Whaddaya mean?! [19:22] Karane     I-It's not like I'm hiding anything! [19:25] Hakari     Oh, really? Allow me, then. [19:28] Hakari     Rentaro-kun. [19:30] Hakari     May I kiss you, too? [19:35] Karane     Wha! [19:38] Rentaro     Sure. [19:42] Rentaro     Hakari. [19:44] Hakari     Um, am I still good? [19:48] Hakari     Has my appeal not paled     in comparison to Shizuka-san? [19:54] Rentaro     Of course not! [19:56] Rentaro     Shizuka-chan, and Karane, and you! [20:00] Rentaro     You're all the cutest girls in the world! [20:05] Hakari     I knew you would say that if I asked. [20:08] Rentaro     Hakari! [20:24] Rentaro     Karane. [20:26] Karane     H-Hmph! [20:27] Karane     If you're so desperate, I guess     I wouldn't mind throwing you a bone! [20:32] Karane     It's not like I care about it     or anything, okay? [20:35] Rentaro     Why slide into position, then? [20:37] Karane     Or anything, okay? [20:43] Rentaro     Karane, you're so cute. [20:45] Karane     Wh-Wh-Wh-Wha?! [20:47] Karane     Wh-Where'd that come from?! [20:51] Rentaro     You're super-duper cute when you're flustered! [20:56] Karane     Wh-Why, you... [20:58] Karane     You dummy! [20:59] Karane     Dummy! [21:01] Rentaro     Sorry, sorry. [21:03] Rentaro     Ow, that hurts. [21:04] Rentaro     Yo, slow the hell down! [21:11] Rentaro     But I'd like to kiss you, Karane. [21:14] Rentaro     I really want to. [21:19] Rentaro     What about you? [21:24] Karane     I do, too. [21:37] Hakari     What's the matter, Rentaro-kun? [21:40] Rentaro     Well... [21:41] Rentaro     You're all amazing girlfriends,     more than I ever deserve. [21:47] Rentaro     I just can't believe how lucky I am. [21:49] Rentaro     Thank you, all three of you! [21:54] Karane     Right. [21:55] Hakari     Back. [21:56] Shizuka     "At you," [21:57] Hakari     ...of course. [21:57] Karane     ...dumbass. [21:57] Shizuka     "...she said." [21:58] Rentaro     Check out this parade of speech tics! [22:05] Shizuka     "She gave a hearty laugh."
