[00:00] ---
    (Isn't that maybe how love's defined?)
[00:02] ---
    Wow! A gift for you!
[00:04] ---
    (So, isn't that true love defined?)
[00:11] ---
    Nothing happening,
[00:13] ---
    every day feels the same
[00:15] ---
    Over and over, just
[00:17] ---
    waiting for time to pass
[00:19] ---
    When I'm with you,
[00:21] ---
    I can feel
[00:22] ---
    something so special,
[00:24] ---
    and I want to make it real
[00:27] ---
    Look, I'm really grateful every day, but you know
[00:30] ---
    I feel like I'm not doing enough in return
[00:32] ---
    "I was just feeling like it.
[00:33] ---
    No real meaning or reason why."
[00:35] ---
    Stop complaining and just take it already!
[00:39] ---
    (Isn't that maybe how love's defined?)
[00:40] ---
    Yeah, there's no way that's how it goes!
[00:42] ---
    (So, isn't that true love defined?)
[00:44] ---
    Whoa oh oh oh oh
[00:46] ---
    An angel just landed
[00:48] ---
    Right in front of me
[00:50] ---
    With a smile that looked
[00:52] ---
    Like her wings spreading open
[00:53] ---
    Hey, that's against all the rules
[00:55] ---
    You look so happy
[00:57] ---
    Wipe off that look
[00:59] ---
    Before my mind goes blank
[01:01] ---
    If you keep this up,
[01:03] ---
    You're gonna spoil me rotten
[01:06] ---
    Come on, you gotta do something about this
[01:08] ---
    So, let's get started
[01:10] ---
    I want to know
[01:11] ---
    A lot more about
[01:13] ---
    The world you live in
[01:15] ---
    So, let's get started
[01:17] ---
    I want to laugh
[01:18] ---
    A lot more with you
[01:20] ---
    In the world you live in
SIGN    The Angel Next Door
    Spoils Me Rotten
[01:23] ---
    I want to know more
[01:25] ---
    I want to laugh more
[01:33] Mahiru
    Um, I'm really sorry.
[01:36] Amane
    It isn't like this is your fault.
[01:38] Chitose
    So?! Amane's neighbor was the angel all along?
[01:41] Mahiru
    Um, I'd appreciate it
    if you stopped calling me "angel."
[01:48] Itsuki
    So what's happened so far
[01:51] Itsuki
    is that Shiina-san was living next door
    to Amane and sharing meals with him.
[01:56] Itsuki
    Is that an accurate description?
[01:59] Amane
    Yeah.
[02:01] Mahiru
    I owed him a favor,
[02:03] Mahiru
    and Fujimiya-san appeared to be
    living such an unhealthy lifestyle.
[02:08] Mahiru
    I was worried about him.
[02:09] Itsuki
    I see. Hmm.
[02:12] Itsuki
    I understand the general situation now,
[02:16] Itsuki
    but while Shiina-san makes sense,
[02:18] Itsuki
    it's strange that Amane
    doesn't have feelings for her.
[02:21] Itsuki
    I mean, she's like your
    very own wife-in-training!
[02:26] Mahiru
    That is not my intent and is not possible.
[02:30] Amane
    I don't have any ulterior motives at all.
[02:33] Amane
    That's why Shiina is helping me out
    in the first place.
[02:36] Itsuki
    Well, if you say so, Amane.
[02:39] Itsuki
    But seriously, what an odd couple.
[02:42] Itsuki
    Was the stuffed animal for Shiina-san, too?
[02:46] Amane
    Yeah.
[02:47] Chitose
    Heh?
[02:48] Amane
    Shut up.
[02:49] Chitose
    I haven't said anything yet!
[02:51] Amane
    Your face said plenty.
[02:52] Chitose
    That's mean!
SIGN    The Angel in the Christmas
[03:00] Amane
    So, yeah.
[03:01] Amane
    We don't have the same kind of
    lovey-dovey relationship you do,
[03:04] Amane
    but if you spill this to other people,
    it would be a huge pain for us.
[03:09] Amane
    You get that, right?
[03:10] Itsuki
    Yeah, I get it. I won't tell anyone else.
[03:13] Amane
    You, too, Chitose.
[03:14] Chitose
    I'm not that much of a blabbermouth!
[03:17] Chitose
    Besides,
[03:18] Chitose
    nobody would believe a girl this cute
    was making dinners for you, Amane.
[03:24] Amane
    Excuse me for punching above my weight.
[03:26] Chitose
    Hey, I didn't say that.
[03:28] Chitose
    Don't be so touchy.
[03:35] Chitose
    I've never seen her
    from this close up before.
[03:38] Chitose
    She sure is pretty enough
    to be called an angel!
[03:45] Chitose
    Her facial proportions are perfect,
    her skin is light and clean,
[03:49] Chitose
    her eyelashes are long, her hair is silky,
[03:52] Chitose
    she's slim but not flat.
[03:54] Mahiru
    Huh? U-Um...
[03:56] Chitose
    And her skin is so radiant.
[03:58] Chitose
    What do you do to maintain it?
[04:03] Amane
    That's as far as you go.
[04:04] Chitose
    Aww!
[04:06] Amane
    She's really shy. Don't get so physical
    when she doesn't even know you.
[04:10] Chitose
    Oh.
[04:12] Chitose
    I'm really sorry.
[04:13] Chitose
    I got so excited,
    I almost tried to touch you.
[04:16] Mahiru
    It's... okay.
[04:18] Amane
    Shiina, Chitose is a colossal weirdo,
    but she isn't a creep... I hope.
[04:23] Chitose
    Hey, hey, was that a compliment?
[04:25] Chitose
    I doubt it! Did you just insult me?!
[04:27] Amane
    Can you deny it with an outburst like that?
[04:31] Chitose
    No, I cannot.
[04:33] Chitose
    In that case...
[04:35] Mahiru
    Huh?
[04:38] Chitose
    Can we start out as friends?
[04:39] Mahiru
    Eh, uh, oh... sure.
[04:42] Mahiru
    Pleased to meet you.
[04:47] Chitose
    If we're gonna be friends,
    I guess we gotta introduce ourselves.
[04:50] Chitose
    I'm Chitose Shirakawa.
[04:52] Chitose
    Amane's best friend... right?...
    Ikkun's girlfriend.
[04:57] Itsuki
    Aww, "best friend"? Don't make me blush!
[05:00] Amane
    It's gross when you fake
    being embarrassed like that.
[05:03] Itsuki
    But dontcha know?
    I'm what people call a tsundere.
[05:09] Amane
    I'll seriously kick you out.
[05:10] Itsuki
    Throw me out into the icy cold?!
    How heartless of you!
[05:13] Amane
    Barf.
[05:14] Itsuki
    Yeah, well, we're always like this.
[05:18] Itsuki
    Starting over, I'm Itsuki Akazawa.
[05:21] Itsuki
    I get to be this grumpy dude's best friend.
[05:25] Itsuki
    If Amane pulls anything really stupid
    or weird, you can talk to me anytime. Okay?
[05:31] Amane
    Would you cool it?
[05:34] Mahiru
    I don't think Fujimiya-san
    is interested in me like that,
[05:38] Mahiru
    and while his homemaking skills
    are non-existent,
[05:40] Amane
    he is a reasonable person, so I'll be okay.
[05:43] Amane
    You didn't need to pick on my
    homemaking skills, but thanks for the rest.
[05:48] Chitose
    Hey, hey. I bet your cooking
    is delicious, Shiina-san.
[05:52] Chitose
    Do you have any specialties?
[05:54] Mahiru
    Um, I don't really have a specialty,
    but I can cook pretty much anything.
[05:58] Chitose
    That's great!
[06:00] Chitose
    I like cooking, too, you know,
[06:03] Chitose
    but my takes on the recipes
     don't always get good reviews.
[06:08] Chitose
    But even then, Ikkun always
    eats my cooking with a smile.
[06:15] Amane
    I'm really sorry about that.
[06:17] Mahiru
    It's all right.
[06:18] Mahiru
    I don't know a lot of people like that,
    so it was kind of fun.
[06:23] Amane
    Yeah, Chitose's kind of an unusual one.
[06:26] Amane
    If she gets too intense,
    feel free to slap her.
[06:29] Mahiru
    I-I won't use violence,
    but I'll try to convince her to stop.
[06:37] Mahiru
    It's really a white Christmas.
[06:40] Amane
    It sure is. That doesn't really
    mean anything for us, though.
[06:45] Mahiru
    Why don't we just enjoy how pretty it looks?
[06:48] Mahiru
    But if it keeps falling,
[06:50] Mahiru
    it'll shut down public transportation, too,
    so I hope it doesn't snow too much.
[06:55] Amane
    Back to being practical again?
[07:00] Mahiru
    Well, I'll bring over
    the beef stew I made, okay?
[07:05] Mahiru
    For lunch tomorrow, we can
    have beef stew over omurice.
[07:09] Amane
    That sounds so delicious!
[07:13] Mahiru
    I'll go get it.
[07:23] Amane
    I wish we could have kept it
    our secret for just a little longer.
[07:29] Amane
    Wait, what am I even thinking?
[07:58] Amane
    Ah, that was delicious!
[08:00] Mahiru
    I'm glad you liked it.
[08:02] Mahiru
    Amane-kun, you always
    look so happy when you're eating.
[08:06] Amane
    I really am happy. It's because
    your cooking is so good, Mahiru.
[08:12] Mahiru
    I'm very glad to hear that.
    I guess happiness comes cheap.
[08:16] Amane
    No, this is a treasure.
    You underestimate how valuable you are.
[08:27] Amane
    How did you learn
    to make so many different things?
[08:30] Mahiru
    Someone who took care of me taught me how.
[08:34] Mahiru
    She said, "When you find someone who makes
     you happy, grab him by the stomach."
[08:38] Amane
    Sorry about that. I made you
    grab mine instead.
[08:43] Mahiru
    I'll consider it a practice run.
[08:47] Amane
    But yeah, that person who took care
    of you must be an amazing cook.
[08:52] Mahiru
    She sure is. I'm still
    nowhere near her level.
[08:56] Mahiru
    Her cooking tastes like pure joy.
[09:00] Amane
    It must've been incredibly good, then.
[09:03] Amane
    Anyway, for me, your cooking
    already tastes like joy.
[09:11] Amane
    Oh?
[09:13] Amane
    Mahiru?
[09:14] Mahiru
    Huh? Oh. It's nothing.
[09:20] Amane
    Is something wrong?
[09:22] Mahiru
    It's just, I didn't realize I could
    make food taste joyful yet.
[09:28] Amane
    I don't know why you need
    to be so hard on yourself,
[09:31] Amane
    but it's so good I want to eat it every day.
[09:36] Mahiru
    Th-Thank you for saying that.
[09:41] Amane
    Uh, for tomorrow, is around noon good?
[09:45] Mahiru
    Yes, that is what we agreed on.
[09:48] Mahiru
    We'll make lunch, and then play
    those games we talked about, right?
[09:56] Mahiru
    I'm looking forward to it.
[09:57] Amane
    C-Cool.
SIGN    The Angel Next Door
    Spoils Me Rotten
[10:25] Amane
    Fine. Here, here.
[10:27] Amane
    See? You gotta go here,
[10:30] Amane
    and then watch your timing
    when you get here...
[10:34] Amane
    Oh!
[10:35] Mahiru
    Eh?
[10:36] Mahiru & Amane
    Ah!
[10:37] Amane
    Sorry!
[10:38] Mahiru
    It's... okay. That was my fault, too.
[10:47] Amane
    I'm really sorry.
[10:49] Mahiru
    Um, I'm not that worried about it.
[10:53] Amane
    Huh?
[10:54] Amane
    You aren't mad?
[10:56] Mahiru
    I am a little surprised, but not mad.
[10:59] Mahiru
    It's not like you're a stranger.
[11:14] Amane
    Mahiru, you're leaning!
[11:18] Amane
    What the heck? She's so cute!
[11:31] Amane
    You really don't need to lean like that.
[11:33] Mahiru
    I-I wasn't doing it on purpose!
[11:37] Amane
    Yeah, I know. But you were still leaning.
[11:45] Mahiru
    Are you making fun of me?
[11:47] Amane
    No, no, it was just so funny to watch.
[11:50] Mahiru
    So you are making fun of me!
[11:52] Amane
    Would I make fun of
    someone who's trying so hard?
[11:58] Mahiru
    No, I don't think so...
[12:00] Amane
    Right? I just thought it was cute.
[12:03] Mahiru
    "Cute" meaning someone who's
    so childish they're funny to watch.
[12:10] Amane
    Hey, ow—
[12:12] Amane
    Ouch?
[12:14] Mahiru
    Amane-kun, you dummy!
[12:22] Mahiru
    I won!
[12:23] Amane
    Good for you. I could tell
    you were really trying.
[12:26] Mahiru
    Yes! Thank you very much!
[12:29] Mahiru
    It was so fun, I really got into it!
[12:44] Amane
    Here's your prize for winning first place.
[12:46] Mahiru
    Um, you really don't need to.
[12:48] Amane
    If you don't want a prize,
[12:50] Amane
    then just pretend it's something that old,
    round guy with the big beard left with me.
[12:55] Mahiru
    Oh.
[13:02] Amane
    You can open it.
[13:04] Mahiru
    Okay.
[13:05] Amane
    I mean, it isn't anything special.
[13:09] Mahiru
    Oh!
[13:10] Amane
    It's a key case.
[13:12] Amane
    Because I lent you my key, you know.
[13:14] Amane
    If you don't want to use it, that's fine.
[13:16] Mahiru
    No, I'll be very happy to use it.
[13:20] Mahiru
    Amane-kun, you have a better
    sense of style than I thought.
[13:23] Amane
    What do you mean, better than you thought?
[13:25] Mahiru
    Well, your everyday clothes
    are nowhere near stylish.
[13:29] Mahiru
    It sounds like you looked
    pretty sharp in junior high, though.
[13:33] Amane
    That's because Mom made me...
[13:35] Amane
    Wait, how do you know?
[13:37] Mahiru
    Shihoko-san sent me a picture and said,
    "This is what he looks like cleaned up."
[13:43] Amane
    Why that little...
[13:45] Amane
    They did exchange contact info that day.
[13:50] Amane
    It didn't look good on me anyway.
[13:53] Mahiru
    I wonder about that.
[13:55] Mahiru
    Amane-kun, your bangs hide it, but I think
    you have really handsome features.
[14:08] Amane
    What?
[14:10] Mahiru
    Ah, nothing. Your eyes
    seem brighter than before.
[14:17] Amane
    Well, I can't deny that.
[14:19] Amane
    But now it's your turn.
[14:38] Mahiru
    Um... So...
[14:41] Mahiru
    I have a Christmas present for you, too.
[14:47] Amane
    It's super warm!
[14:49] Amane
    And it feels so soft!
[14:51] Mahiru
    I'm glad you like it.
[14:55] Mahiru
    Hmm? What is it?
[14:58] Amane
    Well, I was just thinking you look a lot
    less guarded now than when we first met.
[15:04] Mahiru
    Do I?
[15:06] Amane
    Yeah, and I like it a lot more.
[15:10] Amane
    When you smile like you did a minute ago,
[15:12] Amane
    I just think, you're so cute, it's a
    shame you can't always smile that way.
[15:17] Amane
    Seeing you smile such a natural smile
[15:19] Amane
    makes me think you're comfortable
    around me, so I'm pretty hap—
[15:22] Amane
    Whoa!
[15:24] Mahiru
    Please, stop talking for a minute.
[15:26] Amane
    What's going on?
[15:27] Mahiru
    Nothing at all.
[15:33] Amane
    Are you embarrassed or something?
[15:35] Mahiru
    Please be quiet!
[15:53] Amane
    You'll catch a cold.
[15:56] Mahiru
    Shouldn't that be my line?
[15:59] Amane
    That time, I just didn't take a bath
    and warm up properly.
[16:03] Amane
    I should have been more careful.
[16:04] Mahiru
    If I catch you like that again,
    I'll throw you into the bath myself.
[16:09] Amane
    Are you my mom?
[16:12] Amane
    Honestly, I've been so grateful
    these two months. Thank you.
[16:19] Mahiru
    Me, too. Thank you very much.
[16:23] Amane
    I haven't done anything, though.
[16:25] Mahiru
    I'm thankful for things
    you don't even realize.
[16:33] Amane
    Bit by bit, I'm really starting
    to like living like this.
[16:41] Amane
    Your face is red. Do you have a fever?
[16:44] Mahiru
    I most certainly don't.
    I'm just a little flushed.
[16:47] Amane
    Then take your temperature and prove it.
[16:55] Mahiru
    It's 37.2 degrees. A slight fever. I'm fine.
[17:00] Amane
    Oh?
[17:01] Amane
    It looks like 38.4 degrees to me.
[17:08] Amane
    Are you going to overdo it
    while you let me just slack off?
[17:12] Amane
    It's winter break, so you should relax.
[17:17] Amane
    She's so stubborn.
[17:24] Mahiru
    A-Amane-kun?
[17:26] Amane
    I know you'll push it,
    so I'm watching you until you sleep.
[17:29] Mahiru
    Huh?
[17:30] Mahiru
    Uh...
[17:32] Mahiru
    Y-You can't go into a girl's room!
[17:36] Amane
    If you don't like that,
    you can sleep in my room.
[17:39] Mahiru
    Isn't there some other option?
[17:41] Amane
    You should have accepted your
    need to rest from the start.
[17:44] Amane
    So, what'll it be? My place or yours, Mahiru?
[17:52] Mahiru
    What if I say neither?
[17:54] Amane
    Then I'll force my way into your
    apartment and throw you into bed myself.
[18:01] Mahiru
    Then your room is fine.
[18:06] Amane
    You took your medicine, so now just rest up.
[18:09] Mahiru
    You sure worked fast.
[18:11] Amane
    I'm just doing the same thing you did for me.
[18:15] Amane
    I mean, why were you trying
    to push yourself in the first place?
[18:19] Mahiru
    It's my fault for not taking care of myself.
[18:22] Amane
    Even with utmost diligence,
    it's still possible to catch a cold.
[18:25] Amane
    You're always working too hard anyway.
    You're probably exhausted.
[18:30] Amane
    But I know that's my fault,
    so I really should apologize.
[18:34] Mahiru
    Amane-kun, I've never thought
    of you as a burden.
[18:38] Amane
    Is that right?
[18:39] Amane
    But even then, this is a perfect
     chance for you to get s—
[18:52] Mahiru
    Good night.
[19:01] Mahiru
    I'm not a child, you know.
[19:03] Amane
    I know.
[19:04] Amane
    I'm holding on and watching
    so you don't run away. Just relax.
[19:10] Mahiru
    Since it has come to this,
    I will not try to flee.
[19:12] Amane
    I wonder about that.
[19:13] Amane
    Come on. If you want me
    to let go, hurry up and sleep.
[19:37] Mahiru
    Yes?
[19:39] Amane
    Good morning. How are you feeling?
[19:41] Amane
    Don't lie to me now.
[19:43] Mahiru
    Still a little groggy.
[19:45] Amane
    Okay. Do you want rice porridge again?
[19:48] Amane
    I bought some pudding and gelatin, too.
[19:51] Mahiru
    Really, I'm... so sorry for the troub—
[19:54] Amane
    Quit apologizing. You did this for me, too.
[19:58] Amane
    So, pudding or gelatin. Which do you want?
[20:01] Mahiru
    Gelatin.
[20:02] Amane
    Okey-dokey. Think you can eat rice porridge?
[20:06] Mahiru
    Sure.
[20:09] Amane
    Do you need me to do anything else?
[20:12] Mahiru
    Not right now.
[20:15] Amane
    Okay.
[20:22] Mahiru
    Amane-kun?
[20:23] Amane
    I've got nothing better to do.
[20:25] Amane
    Wanna talk for a while until you get sleepy?
[20:28] Mahiru
    Huh?
[20:30] Mahiru
    Sure.
[20:32] Mahiru
    Nobody's ever looked after me like this.
[20:36] Mahiru
    Koyuki-san always went home
    at the end of the day.
[20:39] Amane
    Koyuki-san?
[20:41] Mahiru
    The housekeeper when I lived at home.
[20:43] Amane
    Oh.
[20:48] Mahiru
    Morning and night, I was always alone.
[20:54] Amane
    Well, I'm here for today.
[20:56] Amane
    If you don't get well soon,
    it's a problem for me, too.
[21:00] Mahiru
    I'm so sorry for occupying
    your bed, and the cooking...
[21:03] Amane
    That's not what I mean.
[21:05] Amane
    I hate seeing the person
    I spend all my time with get sick.
[21:12] Amane
    Hurry up and fall asleep, okay?
[21:14] Amane
    Once you get your fill of sleep,
    you should be better.
[21:16] Mahiru
    Okay.
[21:18] Amane
    Should I watch over you
    until you fall asleep again today?
[21:20] Mahiru
    Yes, please do.
[21:22] Amane
    Huh?
[21:24] Mahiru
    It was your idea, Amane-kun.
[21:26] Amane
    I guess it was, but...
[21:27] Mahiru
    Are you going back on your word as a man?
[21:30] Amane
    No way.
[21:32] Amane
    Come on.
[21:36] Mahiru
    You're so warm.
[21:38] Amane
    Your fever has gone down a lot.
[21:41] Amane
    Just go to sleep.
[21:43] Mahiru
    Okay.
[21:54] Amane
    I'm such an idiot.
[21:57] Amane
    Damn it.
[21:59] Amane
    You're so bad for my heart.
