[00:09] Lilith
    There.
[00:10] Lilith
    That does it for the big cleanup.
[00:13] Lilith
    It went really quickly thanks to the
    young master's and Natsume's help.
[00:20] Lilith
    I know.
[00:21] Lilith
    I should prepare tea before
    they get home from shopping.
[00:44] Lilith
    Yes, who is it?
[00:50] Master
    Hey.
[00:52] Lilith
    M-Master...

[02:26] Natsume
    So heavy...
[02:29] Natsume
    Why did Lilith ask us to buy so much stuff?
[02:33] Yuuri
    What are you complaining about?
[02:35] Yuuri
    You're the one who said you wanted to go
    shopping because you didn't want to clean.
[02:44] Natsume
    By the way...
[02:46] Natsume
    Th-Thanks.
[02:50] Natsume
    I'm glad I came here.
[02:53] Natsume
    I got to see Lilith doing well...
[02:55] Natsume
    A-And thanks to you, I finally
    got to tell Lilith how I feel.
[03:02] Yuuri
    You just told her what you wanted to tell her.
[03:05] Yuuri
    I didn't do anything.
[03:07] Natsume
    You did!
[03:11] Natsume
    I always thought it was embarrassing
    to tell someone how you feel.
[03:15] Natsume
    So it was a shock to me.
[03:21] Natsume
    Once I get back to my mansion, I'm going to
    tell the person I love that I love them.
[03:26] Natsume
    I realized it's important
    to tell them properly.
[03:29] Yuuri
    What? I thought you loved Lilith.
[03:33] Natsume
    Huh?!
[03:34] Natsume
    I mean, I-I do, but...
[03:36] Natsume
    The love I have for Lilith isn't the
    same as the love I have for my master.
[03:44] Yuuri
    Oh, I get it.
[03:45] Yuuri
    You love your master.
[03:49] Yuuri
    Am I wrong?
[03:50] Natsume
    You're not wrong, but...
[03:53] Natsume
    There are different kinds of love.
[03:58] Natsume
    Like, love for your family,
    love for your friends...
[04:02] Natsume
    A kid like you wouldn't understand.
[04:06] Natsume
    A-Anyway, it's getting cold.
[04:09] Natsume
    Let's hurry home.
[04:15] Master
    Thanks.
[04:20] Master
    You don't need to be so tense.
[04:23] Master
    I just came to see how you're
    doing, since I was in the area.
[04:26] Lilith
    Okay.
[04:27] Master
    I'm sorry you had to take
    care of Natsume, too.
[04:31] Lilith
    Oh, no.
[04:32] Lilith
    It's not a problem.
[04:35] Master
    Where is Natsume?
[04:36] Lilith
    She's out shopping right now.
[04:39] Master
    I see.
[04:40] Master
    Is she assisting you well?
[04:43] Lilith
    Yes.
[04:43] Lilith
    She's been a great help.
[04:45] Lilith
    With cleaning, with laundry...
[04:48] Master
    I'm glad to hear it.
[04:57] Lilith
    Um, master...
[05:00] Lilith
    I'm very sorry for causing trouble for others
    at the mansion due to my own selfishness.
[05:10] Master
    Don't worry about that anymore.
[05:13] Master
    Everyone understands.
[05:18] Master
    This is a nice mansion.
[05:20] Lilith
    Yes.
[05:20] Master
    And it's well-maintained.
[05:25] Master
    You do all this by yourself?
[05:27] Lilith
    Yes.
[05:28] Master
    That's impressive.
[05:31] Master
    I can see that you truly care about
    this mansion, and about your master.
[05:39] Master
    Does it have to do with your past?
[05:50] Lilith
    When I was little, my parents disappeared,
    and I was left without a home.
[05:55] Lilith
    I was passed around between
    relatives and acquaintances.
[06:04] Lilith
    No one wanted to give me a home until...
[06:09] Lilith
    The young master's parents, who were
    close friends with mine, took me in.
[06:23] (Flashback) Yuuri's Mom
    Here.
[06:26] (Flashback) Yuuri's Mom
    It's herbal tea.
[06:28] (Flashback) Yuuri's Mom
    I hope you like it.
[06:35] (Flashback) Yuuri's Mom
    Go ahead.
[06:44] (Flashback) Yuuri's Mom
    I can make you a late-night
    snack if you're hungry.
[06:50] (Flashback) Yuuri's Dad
    You don't have to hold back.
[06:54] (Flashback) Yuuri's Dad
    Lilith-kun, I know the agreement was that
    we would take care of you for half a year.
[07:01] (Flashback) Yuuri's Dad
    But you're welcome to stay as long as you'd like.
[07:06] (Flashback) Lilith
    Wh-Why?
[07:10] (Flashback) Yuuri's Dad
    It's partly because of our
    gratitude toward your parents,
[07:13] (Flashback) Yuuri's Dad
    but most of all, it's because
    we don't want to abandon you.
[07:16] (Flashback) Yuuri's Dad
    Is that not a good reason?
[07:29] (Flashback) Yuuri
    Who are you?
[07:37] (Flashback) Lilith
    U-Um...
[07:44] (Flashback) Yuuri
    What's wrong?
[07:45] (Flashback) Yuuri
    Why are you hiding your eyes?
[07:47] (Flashback) Lilith
    Because my eyes are creepy...
[07:54] (Flashback) Yuuri
    No, they're not.
[07:57] (Flashback) Yuuri
    They're pretty.
[07:59] (Flashback) Yuuri
    Your eyes sparkle like the stars.
[08:02] (Flashback) Yuuri
    They're really pretty.
[08:12] Lilith
    The people of this mansion
    welcomed me like real family.

[08:19] Lilith
    About a year in, I decided I wanted to
    go to a boarding school for servants.
[08:28] Lilith
    They were worried, but they understood
    my wish, and allowed me to study there.
[08:35] Lilith
    I studied my hardest,
    vowing to repay them someday.
[08:41] Lilith
    After I graduated, I was set
    to work at your mansion.
[08:49] Lilith
    And...
[08:50] (Flashback) Lilith
    N-No...
[08:52] Lilith
    That's when I received the news that the
    young master's parents had died in an accident.
[08:58] Lilith
    I saw him in the same light as I saw
    myself when I lost my parents.
[09:13] Lilith
    It was my turn to protect him.
[09:17] Lilith
    Along with this mansion.
[09:25] Yuuri
    We're home.
[09:27] Natsume
    We finally made it.
[09:30] Yuuri
    Hey, listen to this, Lilith.
[09:33] Yuuri
    Natsume's...
[09:37] Natsume
    Would you go inside already?
    This stuff's heavy.
[09:41] Lilith
    Welcome home, young master, Natsume.
[09:45] Master
    Natsume, mind your tone.
[09:47] Natsume
    Wh-Why are you here?
[09:50] Master
    Because you weren't coming home.
[09:53] Master
    I was worried.
[09:55] Natsume
    Y-You didn't have to come get me.
[09:59] Natsume
    I was about to come home soon anyway.
[10:05] Yuuri
    Lilith, who's this?
[10:08] Lilith
    This man is the master of the
    mansion that I worked at previously.
[10:14] Master
    Nice to meet you, Yuuri-kun.
[10:16] Yuuri
    N-Nice to meet you.
[10:19] Yuuri
    Why...
[10:23] Lilith
    Young master?
[10:25] Yuuri
    Lilith is my maid!
[10:26] Yuuri
    I'm not letting anyone take her!
[10:28] Lilith
    Young master...
[10:36] Master
    It's all right, Yuuri-kun.
[10:38] Master
    I'm not going to take her back with me.
[10:40] Master
    Don't worry.
[10:41] Yuuri
    R-Really?
[10:43] Master
    Yes.
[10:48] Master
    Well, I'd better get going.
[10:55] Master
    Natsume, get ready, please.
[10:57] Natsume
    Fine.
[11:03] Master
    Thanks for taking care
    of Natsume, Yuuri-kun.
[11:07] Yuuri
    Not at all.
[11:09] Natsume
    I was the one who took care of him.
[11:12] Master
    Now, now, Natsume.
[11:15] Master
    Also, please be good to
    Lilith going forward, too.
[11:26] Yuuri
    I will.
[11:30] Master
    Well, then...
[11:31] Lilith
    Master...
[11:37] Lilith
    Thank you.
[11:41] Master
    May we come visit again sometime?
[11:43] Master
    I'm sure Natsume will be missing you, too.
[11:46] Natsume
    Hey!
[11:48] Lilith
    Yes.
[11:49] Lilith
    Is that all right, young master?
[11:51] Yuuri
    Yeah.
[11:53] Yuuri
    Please come whenever you'd like.
[11:55] Master
    Thank you.
[12:02] Lilith
    They're gone.
[12:04] Yuuri
    Yeah.
[12:06] Yuuri
    Wh-What? What's wrong?
[12:09] Lilith
    I made dinner for three.
[12:14] Yuuri
    Oh, that's all? You scared me.
[12:16] Lilith
    What shall I do?
[12:18] Yuuri
    I'll eat it.
[12:19] Yuuri
    I can eat as much of your
    delicious cooking as you make.
[12:30] Lilith
    It's kind of quiet, isn't it, young master?
[12:33] Yuuri
    Yeah.
[12:37] Lilith
    I didn't realize it would be so much
    quieter without Natsume here.
[12:41] Yuuri
    Yeah, it is.
[12:50] Lilith
    It hasn't been just the
    two of us for a while.
[12:52] Lilith
    Kind of exciting, isn't it?
[12:54] Yuuri
    Yeah.
[13:00] Lilith
    Young master, would you like some more?
[13:04] Yuuri
    Yeah. Please.
[13:11] Lilith
    It's been too long since it's
    been just the two of us.
[13:13] Lilith
    I've forgotten how to converse properly.
[13:19] Lilith
    But there's so much I need to tell him...
[13:29] Lilith
    Here you go.
[13:31] Yuuri
    Thanks.
[13:33] Lilith
    Young master...
[13:35] Lilith
    Would you like to go out tomorrow?
[13:39] Lilith
    I just realized we hadn't
    gone out together yet.
[13:47] Yuuri
    Y-You mean a date?!
[13:49] Lilith
    Da—
[13:50] Lilith
    Um...
[13:53] Lilith
    Yes, a date.
[13:55] Yuuri
    All right.
[13:56] Yuuri
    We're going on a date tomorrow!
[14:05] Lilith
    It's gotten so cold.
[14:08] Yuuri
    Yeah.
[14:09] Lilith
    Are you not cold, young master?
[14:12] Yuuri
    Not at all.
[14:14] Yuuri
    Especially since you gave me this.
[14:22] Lilith
    Is something the matter?
[14:24] Yuuri
    Your clothes...
[14:27] Lilith
    I dressed up the best I could.
[14:29] Lilith
    It's my first date with you, after all.
[14:33] Lilith
    Just kidding.
[14:34] Yuuri
    Yeah.
[14:35] Yuuri
    You look beautiful.
[14:38] Lilith
    Thank you.
[14:41] Lilith
    Where shall we go, young master?
[14:44] Yuuri
    Let's see...
[14:46] Lilith
    I'd like to go wherever you'd like to.
[14:49] Yuuri
    We can go anywhere.
[14:51] Lilith
    But...
[14:53] Yuuri
    Anything is fun if I'm with you.
[14:58] Lilith
    Wh-Why don't we stop by
    a café for some hot cocoa?
[15:03] Yuuri
    Yeah, good idea.
[15:05] Lilith
    Shall we, then?
[15:14] Fujisaki
    What's the matter, young lady?
[15:16] Tsukasa
    Why do I have so many lessons
    when it's the holiday season?
[15:20] Fujisaki
    You just have to get through today.
[15:22] Fujisaki
    And then you're going on vacation
    overseas with your parents.
[15:29] Tsukasa
    Yuuri-san?!
[15:30] Tsukasa
    Hey, Fujisaki, look at that.
[15:33] Tsukasa
    Do you think...
[15:34] Tsukasa
    That's a d-date, isn't it?
[15:36] Tsukasa
    It is, isn't it?!
[15:37] Fujisaki
    No, I'm pretty sure they're just shopping.
[15:39] Tsukasa
    What are you talking about?!
[15:41] Tsukasa
    Look at them!
[15:42] Tsukasa
    They're having so much fun!
[15:44] Tsukasa
    We can't just sit here.
[15:46] Tsukasa
    Let's follow them, Fujisaki.
[15:48] Fujisaki
    We will not.
[15:49] Fujisaki
    You have piano lessons.
[15:51] Tsukasa
    I don't care about—
[15:52] Fujisaki
    Young lady.
[16:07] Lilith
    It warms you up, huh?
[16:11] Yuuri
    Yeah.
[16:13] Lilith
    It looks like it might snow
    if it gets any colder.
[16:17] Yuuri
    Snow, huh?
[16:23] Yuuri
    Hey, Lilith...
[16:24] Lilith
    Yes?
[16:26] Yuuri
    There's somewhere I want to go after this.
[16:29] Yuuri
    Is that all right?
[16:30] Lilith
    Yes, of course.
[16:34] Lilith
    So where is it that you'd like to go?
[16:57] Yuuri
    I was afraid to come here by myself.
[17:00] Lilith
    Young master...
[17:02] Yuuri
    But now, with you here,
    I could finally do it.
[17:04] Yuuri
    Thanks.
[17:07] Yuuri
    Mom and Dad are doing well
    together in Heaven, right?
[17:12] Lilith
    Yes, of course.
[17:14] Lilith
    The two of them are watching over you.
[17:21] Yuuri
    Yeah.
[17:24] Yuuri
    You're right.
[17:27] Yuuri
    Don't worry.
[17:29] Yuuri
    I have Lilith. I'm all right.
[17:33] Yuuri
    Well, I'll be back again.
[17:40] Lilith
    Master, Madam, it's been a while.
[17:44] Lilith
    It's Lilith.
[17:46] Lilith
    Don't worry about the young master.
[17:48] Lilith
    I'll take care of him.
[17:52] Yuuri
    Lilith?
[17:53] Lilith
    Yes, I'm coming.
[18:05] Lilith
    It's so pretty.
[18:08] Yuuri
    Yeah.
[18:16] Lilith
    Is something the matter?
[18:18] Yuuri
    You looked so pretty, gazing at the lights.
[18:22] Yuuri
    I couldn't help but gaze at you.
[18:25] Lilith
    I-I'm sorry for having all the fun.
[18:29] Yuuri
    Not at all.
[18:31] Yuuri
    I'm having fun, too.
[18:34] Yuuri
    Besides, it's been a long time
    since I've had you to myself.
[18:38] Lilith
    I-I'm always your maid.
[18:42] Yuuri
    You were busy with Natsume
    until just recently.
[18:45] Yuuri
    You had no time for me.
[18:47] Lilith
    Th-That's right.
[18:50] Yuuri
    So I realized we have to cherish
    the time we have together more.
[19:00] Yuuri
    Because I love you, Lilith.
[19:16] Lilith
    There's something I've been
    wondering this whole time...
[19:21] Lilith
    What kind of "love" do you mean
    when you say you love me?
[19:32] Yuuri
    I don't know.
[19:35] Yuuri
    But I want to find out
    going forward, with you.
[19:44] Lilith
    Remember when you asked me if I was only
    by your side because you're my master?
[19:51] Yuuri
    Yeah.
[19:54] Lilith
    When I'm with you, I feel so happy
    that my face turns beet red.
[20:01] Lilith
    And my chest warms up.
[20:04] Lilith
    I want to be by your side not because
    you're my master, but because you're you.
[20:09] Lilith
    I don't know yet if I can
    respond to your love.
[20:15] Lilith
    But I adore you all the same.
[20:21] Yuuri
    Thanks!
[20:25] Lilith
    It must have always been
    that way, ever since back then.
[20:42] Lilith
    And from now on, too.
[20:47] Lilith
    I hope you continue to love me,
    even after you know everything about me.
[20:56] Lilith
    Well, the snow is getting heavier.
[20:59] Lilith
    Let's go home, young master.
[21:01] Yuuri
    You're right.
[21:03] Lilith
    For now, that's all I want to wish for.
[21:16] Yuuri
    It's really piled up.
[21:20] Yuuri
    I know.
[21:21] Yuuri
    I'm going to make a snowman
    to surprise Lilith.
[21:29] Yuuri
    Oh, she already made one.
[21:39] Lilith
    Young master?
[21:46] Lilith
    My.
[21:47] Lilith
    You made a snowman, too.
[21:50] Yuuri
    Yeah.
[21:51] Lilith
    Huh?
[21:53] Lilith
    That one...
[21:58] Lilith
    They're so cute next to each other.
[22:00] Lilith
    They look just like you and me.
[22:04] Yuuri
    Yeah.
[22:05] Yuuri
    Aren't they cute?
[22:07] Yuuri
    I'm going to make kids for them, too.
[22:09] Lilith
    K-Kids?!
[22:11] Yuuri
    Lots of them!
[22:13] Lilith
    Lots?!
[22:19] Lilith
    They're cute.
[22:23] Lilith
    It's gotten cold.
[22:28] Lilith
    Your hands are all red.
[22:31] Yuuri
    You're right.
[22:33] Lilith
    Allow me.
[22:40] Lilith
    I'll warm some water.
[22:50] Lilith
    Y-Young master?!
[22:52] Yuuri
    Your hands are freezing, too.
[22:54] Lilith
    You mustn't, young master.
[22:56] Lilith
    Y-You'll get cold.
[22:59] Yuuri
    Will I?
[23:00] Lilith
    You will.
[23:06] Yuuri
    It's starting to feel warm.
[23:10] Lilith
    A-Anyway, let's go inside, young master.
[23:15] Yuuri
    All right, Lilith.
