    "Exam results" "put on display."
[00:08] Hakari
    I wonder when Rentaro-kun will get here.
[00:11] Karane
    A few minutes without his phone
    would've hardly killed him.
[00:13] Hakari
    Well, he did say he left it out
    in the open back in the classroom.
[00:17] Shizuka
    "'Tis very precious to" "Rentaro-kun."
[00:19] (Flashback) Rentaro
    It contains all my pictures and memories
    with you! It means the world to me!

[00:35] Rentaro
    There it is.
[00:36] Rentaro
    Phew.
[00:42] Rentaro
    I think that's... Eiai-san?
[00:47] Rentaro
    Hey, the test results have been posted up.
[00:50] Rentaro
    Aren't you going to check?
[00:52] Nano
    Meaningless.
[00:54] Nano
    I know I have the top score.
[00:55] Nano
    Checking would be a waste of time.
SIGN    Krrrack!!!
[01:11] Rentaro
    There it is again. That zing
    when we first make eye contact...

[01:16] Rentaro
    Is she a soulmate?
[01:20] Rentaro
    If you don't mind, why don't we
    go look at the results together?
[01:27] Nano
    Again, that would be a waste of time.
[01:30] Rentaro
    Huh? Oh, right, s-sorry.

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    Midterm Exam Results
    1st: Eiai Nano 700/700
[03:35] Rentaro
    Wait, 700? She got perfect scores
    in every subject?!

[03:39] Rentaro
    Does anyone know much about
    Eiai-san, the girl in first place?
[03:42] Hakari
    She's in our class, isn't she?
[03:45] Shizuka
    "She could be seen always by
    the window, engrossed in her studies."

[03:48] Karane
    I've never spoken to her,
[03:50] Karane
    but I've heard some rumors.
[03:53] Karane
    She pursues precision
    and efficiency above all else,
[03:56] Karane
    and she can answer
    any question about any subject.
[03:59] Karane
    They say she's a highly advanced AI.
[04:03] Rentaro
    A living, breathing urban legend!
SIGN    Biology Lab
[04:05] Bioteach
    All right, class.
[04:06] Bioteach
    Today, you'll study the epidermal cells
    of an onion and sketch your results.
[04:10] Bioteach
    One microscope for each desk.
    Come to me for your razors!
[04:11] Rentaro
    I'm paired up with Eiai-san.
[04:14] Rentaro
    Wait, stop gawking at her!
[04:17] Karane
    Happy Henry Lives Beside Boron Cottage,
[04:19] Rentaro
    Oh, I'll get our microscope.
[04:20] Karane
    Near Our Friend Nelly Nancy Mg Allen...
[04:22] Shizuka
    "Be ambitious!"
[04:23] Hakari
    You could also try this.
[04:25] Hakari
    Memorize the Li Be part with "liebe,"
    the German word meaning love.
[04:28] Karane
    S-Say what?!
[04:30] Karane
    I don't care one bit about this
    Happy Henry dude or anything, okay?
[04:34] Shizuka
    "O brave adventurer."
[04:36] Rentaro
    Unlike Hakari, Karane, and Shizuka-chan,
    who are the epitome of cute,

[04:40] Rentaro
    Eiai-san is more
    the elegant and beautiful type.

[04:46] Rentaro
    Go for it!
[04:49] Rentaro
    Eiai-san?
[04:51] Rentaro
    This is a lab, so we
    don't need our textbooks...
[04:54] Rentaro
    You're straight up copying?!
[04:56] Nano
    It's more efficient than using the microscope.
[04:58] Rentaro
    Is that what matters?!
[05:00] Rentaro
    That defeats the purpose of this practical...
[05:02] Nano
    Practicals are meaningless.
[05:04] Nano
    Scientists already gave us the answer.
    Retracing their steps is a waste of time.
[05:09] Nano
    But that's what this whole class is about?!
[05:11] Bioteach
    Ahem.
[05:13] Rentaro
    The teacher's watching us.
    We have to do this right.
[05:18] Nano
    Very well. I'll make it look like I am.
[05:19] Rentaro
    Actually do it!
[05:23] Rentaro
    The onion's not even on there.
    What are you focusing on?
[05:28] Rentaro
    Seriously, enough with the textbook!
[05:31] Nano
    Looking at the textbook is clearly
    more efficient. I fail to see the problem.
[05:36] Rentaro
    S-So this is what she's like.
    She's got the cold rationality of an AI.

[05:42] Rentaro
    No wonder she's attracting
    the wrong kind of attention.

[05:46] Rentaro
    Ow.
[05:55] Rentaro
    Guess I should go to the nurse's office.
[05:57] Nano
    This would be more efficient.
[05:59] Rentaro
    Huh?
[06:01] Rentaro
    Whoa?!
[06:03] Rentaro
    Huh? Wh-Wh-What are you...
[06:06] Nano
    Saliva contains anti-microbial agents.
[06:09] Nano
    You don't need a disinfectant
    for such a small cut.
[06:16] Rentaro
    This beautiful girl is sucking on my finger!
[06:21] Rentaro
    Her eyelashes are so long...
[06:23] Rentaro
    Her skin is so clear and smooth...
[06:26] Rentaro
    Her lips are so soft, and her tongue so warm...
[06:31] Rentaro
    What is happening? Am I dreaming?!
[06:35] Karane
    Hmph!
[06:36] Karane
    I-It's not like I care about looking at
    some stupid cells or anything, okay?!
[06:40] Hakari
    What are you even fighting against in life?
[06:43] Shizuka
    "Such a heavy cross to bear."
[06:55] Rentaro
    Hey, Eiai-san.
[06:57] Rentaro
    Thanks a lot for helping me.
[06:59] Nano
    Don't mention it.
[07:01] Nano
    Your absence would have reduced
    the efficiency of the cleanup process.
[07:06] Rentaro
    You sure put a lot on the line for that!
[07:09] Rentaro
    Still, I want to repay you somehow.
[07:12] Rentaro
    Are you thirsty? Can I get you a soda?
[07:15] Nano
    I am not.
[07:17] Nano
    Also, sodas are not
    the best choice for hydration.
[07:20] Rentaro
    You need your drinks to be efficient, too?!
[07:23] Rentaro
    I just want to get to know you better.
[07:27] Rentaro
    If you don't mind, that is.
[07:29] Nano
    I do not.
[07:31] Nano
    But it would be meaningless.
[07:33] Rentaro
    I feel meaningless!
[07:35] Rentaro
    U-Uh, I'd say having a fun chat is meaningful.
[07:40] Rentaro
    Just like time spent on hobbies and holidays.
[07:44] Nano
    I have never spent a single
    second on such activities.
[07:49] Nano
    I can tell that they are
    an unproductive use of time.
[07:53] Nano
    No amount of "fun" times
    will raise academic grades.
[07:57] Nano
    Nor will it improve performance metrics.
[08:00] Nano
    "Fun" produces nothing of value.
[08:02] Rentaro
    What?
[08:04] Rentaro
    Grades and performance aren't everything.
[08:07] Nano
    In this world, anything that doesn't improve
    your future prospects is meaningless.
[08:13] Rentaro
    Y-You're wrong!
[08:14] Rentaro
    Having fun is the meaning of life!
[08:18] Nano
    Meaning is defined as value.
[08:20] Nano
    Value is only created by utility, by benefits.
[08:25] Nano
    Be it money, tools, or knowledge.
[08:28] Rentaro
    Listen, I'm not talking about words
    and their definitions!
[08:33] Nano
    If it cannot be defined in words,
    it is only a delusion.
[08:36] Nano
    This debate is also a waste of time.
[08:39] Nano
    Goodbye.
[08:43] Rentaro
    Huh?
[08:44] Rentaro
    Is Eiai-san really...
[08:47] Rentaro
    my soulmate?
[09:02] (Flashback) Rentaro
    Thanks a lot, Eiai-san!
[09:15] Nano
    Why did I do that?
[09:18] Nano
    Was it to help Aijo Rentaro?
[09:21] Nano
    To win him over?
[09:24] Nano
    Why would I apply saliva to a wound?
[09:26] Nano
    I was fully aware of the risk of infection!
[09:30] Nano
    What is this feeling?
[09:33] Nano
    It's illogical!
[09:35] Nano
    Getting distracted is a waste of time!
[09:38] Nano
    Pi... 3.14159265358979323846264338—
[09:46] Nano
    Phew. That is the most efficient way
    to restore my focus.
[09:50] Nano
    Pi is life.
[09:54] Nano
    3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419!
[10:03] Nano
    I am currently wasting
    a significant amount of time.

[10:09] Nano
    This is a problem!
[10:16] Nano
    Aijo Rentaro, I have come to the
    conclusion that I am in love with you.
[10:19] Nano
    I want you to enter a relationship with me.
[10:24] Rentaro
    Oh.
[10:28] Rentaro
    I love you, too, Eiai-san.
[10:31] Rentaro
    I would love to go out with you.
[10:34] Nano
    I must refuse.
[10:35] Rentaro
    Have I been pranked?!
[10:38] Nano
    The ideal outcome
    would have been for you to decline.
[10:42] Nano
    But since you did not,
[10:45] Nano
    I must do it myself.
[10:47] Rentaro
    What are you saying?
[10:49] Nano
    I came here today to put an end to this love.
[10:54] Rentaro
    But why? We like each other!
[10:58] Nano
    Romance only leads
    to matrimony and childbirth.
[11:02] Nano
    And at this moment, I am in no need of either.
[11:06] Nano
    This should be obvious.
[11:09] Nano
    Romance between teenagers is meaningless.
[11:12] Nano
    A complete waste of time.
[11:15] Nano
    I will never go out with you.
[11:23] Nano
    Goodbye.
[11:24] Rentaro
    Eiai-san! I hate to break it to you...
[11:28] Rentaro
    But unlike you,
[11:30] Rentaro
    I've already been rejected a hundred times.
[11:33] Rentaro
    You can't put an end to this love
    just by breaking my heart one more time!
[11:39] Rentaro
    You can't put an end to this love
    just by breaking my heart one more time!
[11:44] Nano
    Okay, but that is irrelevant to me.
[11:46] Rentaro
    If I stay in love with you,
[11:48] Rentaro
    you're not exactly ending this
    romance once and for all, are you?
[11:52] Nano
    Aijo Rentaro is in love with me!
    3.141592658979—

[11:57] Rentaro
    I can't just draw a line in the sand like you.
[12:02] Rentaro
    So... could you go out on a date with me?
[12:07] Nano
    That would be...
[12:08] Rentaro
    If I can't win you over in that one day,
    I promise I'll give up on you!
[12:13] Rentaro
    So please!
SIGN    A Few Days Later
[12:24] Rentaro
    Come to think of it,
    I'm going on an actual date.

[12:28] Rentaro
    My first-ever!
[12:30] Nano
    I am here.
[12:31] Rentaro
    Eiai-san!
[12:36] Rentaro
    A casual outfit...
SIGN    Casual Outfit...!!!
SIGN    The GOAT-fit...!!!
[12:38] Rentaro
    The GOAT-fit!
[12:40] Nano
    Are you sick? Do you want to cancel?
[12:42] Rentaro
    No! That would be too inefficient!
[12:46] Rentaro
    Anyway, let's head in.
[12:46] Rentaro
    My mission for today is to show
    Eiai-san the time of her life!

[12:49] Rentaro
    Is there anything you're interested in?
[12:51] Rentaro
    I need her to realize that
    a "fun" time with someone you like—

[12:53] Nano
    Not particularly.
[12:54] Rentaro
    Okay, so I'll take you around.
[12:54] Rentaro
    that love is meaningful!
[12:59] Nano
    Why does an amusement facility
    have a horse riding simulator?
[13:02] Rentaro
    I'm pretty sure that's not what it's for.
[13:05] Nano
    Then what is the point of this activity?
[13:09] Nano
    It creeps me out.
[13:11] Nano
    An instant camera?
[13:13] Rentaro
    You know about these? I've always
    liked them, for some reason.
[13:17] Nano
    It retains neither
    film negatives nor digital data.
[13:19] Nano
    If the photograph is lost, so too is
     all record of the event. A flawed device.
[13:23] Nano
    Highly illogical.
[13:24] Rentaro
    A true one-star review.
[13:26] Rentaro
    W-Well, never mind all that. Say cheese!
[13:31] Nano
    Cheese? What about cheese?
[13:37] Rentaro
    You look great. See?
[13:41] Nano
    Illogical.
SIGN    Haunted House
[13:45] Nano
    Ghosts are highly unscientific.
    They do not exist.
[13:48] Rentaro
    And I'm glad they don't.
[13:54] Nano
    Look closer. That's a live human.
[13:59] Nano
    Human.
[14:02] Nano
    Human.
[14:04] Nano
    They're all human.
[14:06] Nano
    Why are you so startled?
[14:08] Rentaro
    Why wouldn't I be? They jumped out at me!
[14:11] Nano
    Human.
[14:12] Rentaro
    Don't believe her! There's nobody in that suit!
SIGN    Haunted House
[14:19] Nano
    Nothing but humans.
[14:22] Nano
    Instead of "Haunted House,"
    they should call it "Human House."
[14:25] Rentaro
    So, a house?
[14:30] Rentaro
    You haven't ridden one of these
    before, right? What do you think?
[14:33] Nano
    This is insane.
[14:34] Rentaro
    And your comments are driving me insane.
[14:37] Nano
    People spinning around in giant cups.
[14:40] Nano
    What demand was this created to meet?
[14:43] Nano
    I understand nothing about this.
[14:45] Nano
    Especially the people lining up to get
    spun around without questioning any of it.
[14:50] Nano
    Could this be a brainwashing contraption that
    operates on music and centrifugal force?
[14:55] Rentaro
    Worst tea party ever!
SIGN    The Lost Little Lambs'
    Great Labyrinth
[14:58] Rentaro
    A giant maze! Let's give it a shot!
[15:03] Nano
    Getting a bird's-eye view
    is the most efficient solution.
[15:06] Rentaro
    It's giant for a reason!
[15:11] Rentaro
    Oops, another dead end.
[15:15] Nano
    Why so many dead ends?
[15:17] Nano
    Why not just build the correct path?
[15:19] Nano
    Such a waste of time.
[15:20] Rentaro
    It's a maze!
[15:22] Nano
    If only humans could
    come up with self-driving, too.
[15:25] Nano
    We would be able to navigate
    these mazes and our lives effortlessly.
[15:29] Rentaro
    We're human for a reason!
[15:31] Rentaro
    No date is complete without this.
[15:33] Rentaro
    The Ferris wheel!
[15:38] Rentaro
    Eiai-san, are you afraid of heights?
[15:43] Nano
    I-It is only natural to fear
    life-threatening elevation.
[15:50] Rentaro
    Oh, do you want me to sit next to you, then?
[16:04] Rentaro
    S-Sorry!
[16:33] Pa
    Thank you for visiting us today.
[16:37] Pa
    The park will close in thirty minutes.
[16:40] Rentaro
    See? You look a little bored here.
[16:44] Rentaro
    But you're really enjoying
    yourself in this one.
[16:47] Nano
    Correct.
[16:49] Nano
    How can you tell?
    People often tell me I seem emotionless.
[16:53] Rentaro
    It's not hard if I pay attention.
[16:55] Rentaro
    But I'm glad to see that you had fun.
[17:00] Rentaro
    So, what did you think?
[17:03] Nano
    Yes, I did enjoy it. Far more than I expected.
[17:07] Rentaro
    Really? Then...
[17:09] Nano
    However...
[17:10] Nano
    That was all.
[17:12] Nano
    It was "fun," but nothing else.
[17:15] Nano
    I obtained nothing of value. A meaningless day.
[17:21] Nano
    I'm sorry.
[17:22] Rentaro
    Nah, you don't have to apologize.
[17:25] Rentaro
    No two people share the same experience.
[17:28] Rentaro
    I'm happy you told me straight up
    what you thought instead of lying about it.
[17:33] Rentaro
    In that case...
[17:35] Rentaro
    It's a shame, but since it was
    such a meaningless day,
[17:39] Rentaro
    one not worth experiencing...
[17:42] Rentaro
    Let's erase it.
[17:44] Nano
    Yes.
[17:55] (Flashback) Nano
    It retains neither
    film negatives nor digital data.
[17:58] (Flashback) Nano
    If the photograph is lost, so too is
    all record of the event. A flawed device.
[18:17] Rentaro
    Sorry.
[18:18] Rentaro
    You know that you can't lose
    what you don't have.
[18:22] Rentaro
    But right now, you were
    afraid of losing something.
[18:26] Rentaro
    And I think that's proof that you have
    something you didn't have before.
[18:34] Rentaro
    You gained something today, Eiai-san.
[18:38] Rentaro
    Something that can't be defined
    in words or given a numerical score.
[18:43] Rentaro
    It might not help your future prospects,
[18:47] Rentaro
    but there's something of so much value,
    you didn't want to lose it.
[18:52] Rentaro
    And now it's yours.
[19:03] Nano
    What is this?
[19:05] Nano
    Why?
[19:08] Rentaro
    I'm sorry. But I wanted you to know...
[19:14] Rentaro
    There is a meaning to good times.
[19:17] Rentaro
    And enjoying those times is
    what makes our lives meaningful.

[19:28] Rentaro
    Have you calmed down?
[19:29] Nano
    Yes.
[19:30] Nano
    Sorry about the handkerchief.
    I will disinfect and return it.
[19:34] Rentaro
    Huh? Oh...
[19:36] (Flashback) Nano
    Saliva contains anti-microbial agents.
[19:39] Rentaro
    Are you gonna lick it?
[19:40] Nano
    N-No! I will wash it!
[19:46] Nano
    Aijo Rentaro.
[19:50] Nano
    I love you. I want you to enter
    a relationship with me.
[19:57] Nano
    Through this romance, I want to obtain
    what I've been missing out on.
[20:02] Nano
    I want to spend these meaningful times
    that I never knew of with you.
[20:10] Rentaro
    I love you, too, Eiai-san!
    It would be my pleasure to go out with you!
[20:28] Nano
    I believe in fulfilling my desires
    without fretting about the means.
[20:32] Nano
    That's what's most efficient.
[20:34] Nano
    Did you mind?
[20:36] Rentaro
    N-No, I do not mind at all.
[20:53] Rentaro
    And that's the whole story.
[20:55] Rentaro
    Could I have your permission to make
    Eiai Nano-san my newest girlfriend?
[21:01] Karane
    Shock me once, shame on you!
    It doesn't even surprise me anymore!
[21:04] Karane
    Do whatever you want!
[21:06] Hakari
    If you deem me worthy enough
    to keep around, I ask for nothing else!
[21:11] Shizuka
    "As I myself am but reinforcement,
    I have no grounds to object."

[21:15] Rentaro
    Thank you! I'll commit seppuku
    if I don't treat all of you right!
[21:20] Nano
    Seppuku isn't very efficient at
    killing people. Poison is more effective.
[21:25] Karane
    Quit optimizing his death!
[21:27] Hakari
    I'm more interested in that theme park date!
[21:31] Hakari
    That was one of my goals!
[21:33] Karane
    I-It's not like I've been busy, either.
[21:36] Karane
    I would've gone if you asked.
[21:38] Shizuka
    "A party for lovebirds."
[21:40] Shizuka
    "The Shangri-La of my dreams!"
[21:42] Nano
    Highly recommended. I wish to go, too.
[21:44] Karane
    Didn't you just go yesterday?!
[21:46] Nano
    Not as his girlfriend.
    That was before we entered a relationship.
[21:50] Rentaro
    Okay, let's all go somewhere this weekend.
[21:54] Rentaro
    Any ideas? Karaoke? The movies? Theme park?
[21:57] Hakari
    Just as planned!
[22:00] Hakari
    I have a suggestion!
[22:02] Hakari
    How about here?
