**[00:02] Fuutarou**
What the hell is this?
**[00:04] Fuutarou**
Work, damn sensors!
**[00:06] Fuutarou**
Shit, as if those sisters weren't bad enough,
**[00:09] Fuutarou**
now *you're* getting in my way, too?
**[00:12] Fuutarou**
Hey.
**[00:14] Fuutarou**
*I'm tutoring for the Nakanos on Floor 30.*
**[00:17] Fuutarou**
*My name is Uesugi.*
**[00:19] Fuutarou**
*The door here*
**[00:20] Fuutarou**
is broken.
**[00:23] Fuutarou**
Hey.
**[00:23] Miku**
What are you doing out here by yourself?
**[00:26] Fuutarou**
Miku.
**[00:27] Miku**
How haven't you heard of auto locks?
They're everywhere nowadays.
**[00:31] Miku**
You can punch in our apartment
number on this keypad.
**[00:35] Miku**
It'll call us.
**[00:38] Fuutarou**
O-Of course I knew that.
**[00:42] Fuutarou**
*I messed up right off the bat.*
**[00:44] Fuutarou**
*Not off to a good start.*
**[00:46] Fuutarou**
*But...*
**[00:47] Miku**
What are you doing?
**[00:49] Fuutarou**
Huh?
**[00:50] Fuutarou**
O-Oh.
**[00:53] Miku**
You're going to tutor us, aren't you?

**[02:32] Itsuki**
So you *had* to come.
**[02:36] Yotsuba**
Welcome, Uesugi-san!
**[02:39] Fuutarou**
Hey.
**[02:46] Ichika**
Uh...
**[02:48] Ichika**
It should be around here somewhere.
**[02:50] Yotsuba**
The white one, right?
**[02:52] Ichika**
Sorry.
**[02:54] Fuutarou**
Why are you in bed past noon?
**[02:59] Yotsuba**
This is yours, Ichika?
**[03:01] Yotsuba**
S-So grown-up.
**[03:04] Ichika**
We have the same face.
**[03:05] Ichika**
You'd probably look good in it, too.
**[03:08] Ichika**
You should throw out the underwear
you've had since elementary school.
**[03:15] Yotsuba**
U-Uesugi-san's here!
**[03:16] Yotsuba**
Shh!
**[03:22] Yotsuba**
So...
**[03:23] Yotsuba**
What do you think, Uesugi-san?
**[03:26] Yotsuba**
Do you think I'd...
**[03:28] Fuutarou**
I don't care. Just get changed.
**[03:31] Fuutarou**
I don't need your opinion, anyway!
I bet you know nothing about fashion!
**[03:35] Fuutarou**
Okay, we're all set.
**[03:38] Fuutarou**
Let's start studying.
**[03:41] Ichika**
I think I'll watch.
**[03:45] Miku**
Teach us Japanese history
like you said you would.
**[03:49] Itsuki**
I'm just going to be studying on
my own here, so don't mind me.
**[03:53] Fuutarou**
*There are plenty of problems,*
**[03:54] ---**
* but compared to the beginning,*
* this is huge progress.*
**[03:57] ---**
Hey! Wait!
**[03:59] Fuutarou**
*They're human, too.*
**[04:01] Fuutarou**
* Be nice to them, and we can*
* reach an understanding.*
**[04:05] Fuutarou**
Okay, let's get started.
**[04:08] Nino**
You're still here?
**[04:10] Nino**
Still haven't given up on tutoring, huh?
**[04:13] Nino**
I hope you don't fall asleep
like you did last time.
**[04:17] Fuutarou**
*That was because you drugged me.*
**[04:21] Fuutarou**
*Oh, shoot. Be nice.*
**[04:23] Fuutarou**
*Gotta be nice.*
**[04:25] Fuutarou**
How about it?
**[04:26] Fuutarou**
Would you like to join us, Nino?
**[04:28] Nino**
Over my dead body.
**[04:31] Fuutarou**
* Guess I'll have to be content*
* with four for now.*
**[04:35] Fuutarou**
All right. Let's go without her for today.
**[04:37] Yotsuba**
Okay.
**[04:38] Nino**
Oh yeah, Yotsuba,
**[04:40] ---**
my acquaintance on the basketball team is
looking for someone to fill in for a game.
**[04:45] Nino**
You're pretty athletic.
Why don't you go right now?
**[04:49] Yotsuba**
R-Right now?
**[04:51] Yotsuba**
Um...
**[04:52] Yotsuba**
But...
**[04:52] Nino**
Apparently, they only have five members,
and one of them broke a bone.
**[04:57] Nino**
They won't be able to play
if they don't find someone.
**[04:59] Nino**
I feel so bad for them.
**[05:03] Fuutarou**
You wouldn't, would you?
**[05:05] Nino**
They must have practiced so hard.
**[05:07] Nino**
Poor team.
**[05:10] Fuutarou**
Yotsuba?
**[05:11] Yotsuba**
I'm sorry, Uesugi-san.
**[05:12] Yotsuba**
I can't just abandon people in need!
**[05:15] Fuutarou**
You're kidding me.
**[05:17] Nino**
That girl doesn't know how to say no.
**[05:20] Nino**
Didn't you say you had work at two, Ichika?
**[05:23] Ichika**
Shoot, I forgot!
**[05:28] Nino**
You too, Itsuki.
**[05:29] Nino**
You should go to a quieter place,
like the library or something.
**[05:33] Itsuki**
That's a good idea.
**[05:39] Fuutarou**
All right! Gather 'round, everyone!
**[05:41] Fuutarou**
Let's start studying.
**[05:43] Miku**
Face reality, Futaro.
Everyone's gone already.
**[05:49] Fuutarou**
*Damn that Nino, always getting in my way...*
**[05:52] Fuutarou**
*What's she trying to pull?*
**[05:55] Nino**
Huh?
**[05:56] Nino**
You're still here, Miku?
**[06:00] Nino**
You owe me a drink from when
you accidentally drank mine.
**[06:04] Miku**
I already bought it.
**[06:06] Miku**
Okay, let's start the lesson.
**[06:08] Fuutarou**
All right, let's switch gears.
***SIGN*** Matcha Soda
**[06:11] Nino**
Matcha Soda?
**[06:13] Nino**
Hey, Miku!
**[06:16] Miku**
Where do we start?
**[06:17] Fuutarou**
Why don't we start with
the Kamakura period, then?
**[06:21] Nino**
Since when have you two been so close?
**[06:26] Nino**
So you have a thing for
dull-looking guys, huh?
**[06:30] Fuutarou**
That was savage! Take it back!
**[06:32] Miku**
You're too hung up on looks, Nino.
**[06:34] Fuutarou**
That was low-key savage, too!
**[06:36] Nino**
What?
**[06:37] Nino**
What's wrong with going
for good-looking guys?
**[06:39] Nino**
Are you telling me
it's all about inner beauty?
**[06:42] Miku**
What if I am?
**[06:44] Nino**
I see.
**[06:46] Nino**
It's because you don't care about appearances
that you can go out dressed so shabbily.
**[06:50] Miku**
And those pointy nails are
supposed to be fashionable?
**[06:53] Nino**
You wouldn't get it, would you?
**[06:56] Miku**
I don't even *want* to.
**[06:58] Fuutarou**
C-Come on, you two.
**[06:59] Fuutarou**
You're sisters. Play nice.
**[07:01] Fuutarou**
Do we really need to argue over
inner or outer beauty right now?
**[07:05] Miku**
I guess not.
**[07:06] Miku**
Just stop being a nuisance.
**[07:08] Nino**
A nuisance?!
***SIGN*** Guuurgle
**[07:13] Nino**
Fine, then. Why don't we compete
on "inner beauty," as you say?
**[07:18] Nino**
Let's have a cooking battle
to see who's more homely.
**[07:21] Fuutarou**
Wh-Why?
**[07:23] Nino**
If I win, no studying today.
**[07:26] Fuutarou**
Y-You're not going to accept, right?
**[07:29] Miku**
I'll end this quickly.
Just sit and wait, Futaro.
**[07:33] Fuutarou**
*You* sit down!
**[07:41] Fuutarou**
Why is absolutely nothing going my way?
**[07:44] Nino**
Ta-da!
**[07:45] Nino**
A dutch baby with seasonal veggies and ham.
***SIGN*** Omurice
**[07:48] Miku**
O-Omurice.
**[07:52] Nino**
Well, it's up to you to
judge which one's better.
**[07:57] Miku**
Actually, never mind. I'll eat it myself.
**[08:00] Nino**
You made it, so you might
as well have him eat it.
**[08:04] Fuutarou**
Thank you.
**[08:32] ---**
Okay, yeah.
**[08:34] Fuutarou**
Both are pretty good.
**[08:37] Fuutarou**
It's true.
***SIGN*** Not a Gourmet
***SIGN*** Too Poor
**[08:40] Fuutarou**
They're both good.
**[08:42] Nino**
What?!
**[08:42] Nino**
No way.
**[08:51] Nino**
What the heck?
**[08:52] Nino**
Lame.
**[08:55] Fuutarou**
Jeez, that girl...
**[09:01] Fuutarou**
It's gotten so late.
**[09:03] Fuutarou**
We fell right into Nino's trap.
**[09:07] Fuutarou**
I'll have to try again another time.
**[09:09] Miku**
Sorry.
**[09:10] Fuutarou**
*But now it's all clear.*
**[09:13] Fuutarou**
* I don't know why,*
* but Nino especially hates me.*
**[09:18] Fuutarou**
I don't feel like I'll ever get to be
on good terms with her.
**[09:24] Miku**
You're wrong...
**[09:26] Miku**
I think.
**[09:29] Fuutarou**
Huh?
**[09:32] Fuutarou**
Miku?
**[09:33] Miku**
If you face her in good faith,
she'll come around.
**[09:37] Fuutarou**
In good faith?
**[09:39] Fuutarou**
What am I supposed to do?
**[09:41] Miku**
Don't ask me.
**[09:45] Miku**
It's your job to figure that out.
**[09:55] Fuutarou**
*Face her in good faith...*
**[09:56] Fuutarou**
*Good faith...*
**[10:00] Fuutarou**
Shoot.
**[10:05] Fuutarou**
Uh...
**[10:08] Miku**
*What?*
**[10:09] Fuutarou**
Sorry, I forgot my flash cards.
**[10:12] Miku**
* I'm taking a shower.*
* Feel free to come in and grab them.*
**[10:14] Fuutarou**
Wait, Miku, you're okay with that?
**[10:28] Fuutarou**
P-Pardon me.
**[10:44] Fuutarou**
M-Miku?!
**[10:46] Fuutarou**
You're already out of the shower?!
**[10:57] Fuutarou**
* Come to think of it,*
* she's not one to care about these things.*
**[11:01] Fuutarou**
*I'll just grab my cards and leave.*
**[11:04] Nino**
Who's there?
**[11:05] Nino**
Miku?
**[11:09] Nino**
I thought you were going to take a bath.
**[11:12] Nino**
It's free now.
**[11:13] Fuutarou**
*Nino!*
**[11:15] Nino**
My contacts are on the usual shelf.
Could you get them for me?
**[11:19] Fuutarou**
*Her eyesight is so bad that she can't see me?*
**[11:22] Fuutarou**
*Sh-Shit...*
**[11:23] Fuutarou**
*What should I do, then?*
**[11:24] Fuutarou**
* Good faith? If she finds out I'm here,*
* there'll be no faith left!*
***SIGN*** No Faith
**[11:28] Fuutarou**
*What do I do?*
**[11:29] Nino**
What?
**[11:31] Nino**
Are you still mad about me
messing with you at lunch?
**[11:35] Fuutarou**
*Sh-Shit!*
**[11:36] Fuutarou**
*C-Contacts...*
**[11:37] Fuutarou**
*Where are they?*
**[11:39] Fuutarou**
*Here?*
**[11:41] Nino**
I just got carried away.
**[11:45] Nino**
I feel bad about it, okay?
**[11:49] Fuutarou**
*Damn it, where are they?*
**[11:51] Nino**
What are you doing?
That's not where they are.
**[11:55] Nino**
They're on the shelf above.
**[12:00] Nino**
Huh?
**[12:01] Nino**
I though they were on this shelf.
**[12:08] Fuutarou**
*I can't face her now!*
**[12:11] Fuutarou**
*I can't take any more!*
**[12:13] Fuutarou**
*Run for it!*
**[12:15] Nino**
So you *are* mad.
**[12:17] Nino**
It's his fault.
**[12:19] Nino**
It's all his fault.
**[12:20] Nino**
He keeps coming into our home
just because Dad ordered it.
**[12:25] Nino**
This home is for us five.
There's no place for him here.
**[12:33] Fuutarou**
*Is she...*
**[12:36] Nino**
That's it!
**[12:38] Nino**
From now on, he's banned from our place!
**[12:46] Fuutarou**
Look out!
**[12:47] Fuutarou**
Above you!
**[12:57] Fuutarou**
*At that point, I still didn't know...*
**[13:05] Nino**
Wh-Who's there?
**[13:15] Ichika**
Thank you.
**[13:18] Guy**
You were great as always today, Ichika-chan.
**[13:21] Guy**
See you next time.
**[13:23] Ichika**
Sure.
**[13:25] Fuutarou**
* I didn't know how hard it would be to*
* face these five idiots one at a time.*
**[13:31] Girl**
Thanks so much.
**[13:33] Girl**
You're so good, Nakano-san.
We're lucky to have you.
**[13:35] Girl**
Let's kill it next time, too.
**[13:38] Girl B**
Hey, I want to ask you something...
**[13:41] Girl C**
Would you be up for officially
joining the basketball team?
**[13:46] Fuutarou**
*And I'd be taught a lesson, too.*
**[13:51] Miku**
It's because of what she said.
**[13:54] (Flashback) Nino**
So you have a thing for
dull-looking guys, huh?
**[14:01] Miku**
It's not even true.
**[14:04] Fuutarou**
*That I'm a complete idiot, too.*
**[14:08] Nino**
I-Intruder!
**[14:10] Fuutarou**
N-No!
**[14:12] Fuutarou**
I just came to take something.
**[14:14] Nino**
Take what?
**[14:15] Nino**
Nudes of me?
**[14:17] Nino**
You pervert!
**[14:19] Nino**
Molester!
**[14:20] Nino**
Voyeur!
**[14:20] Fuutarou**
That's not what I meant!
**[14:29] Itsuki**
You're the worst.
**[14:34] Ichika**
Order in the court.
**[14:36] Itsuki**
Your Honor, please have a look at this.
**[14:39] Itsuki**
The defendant, a tutor,
**[14:43] ---**
lost control of his urges in front
of a young high school girl.
**[14:48] Itsuki**
Defendant Uesugi...
This is you in this photo, is it not?
**[14:53] Fuutarou**
I-It's a false charge.
***SIGN*** Absent due
to basketball
team duties
**[14:57] Nino**
Your Honor...
**[14:58] Ichika**
Yes, Plaintiff Nino-kun.
**[15:01] Nino**
This guy pretended to leave the apartment
**[15:04] ---**
and waited for me to exit the shower.
**[15:07] Fuutarou**
H-Hey!
**[15:08] Fuutarou**
That's a fabrication!
**[15:10] Nino**
For his heinous crimes, I request that he
be barred permanently from entering here.
**[15:16] Fuutarou**
Th-That's too much!
**[15:18] Ichika**
I can't say I approve of your actions.
**[15:21] Fuutarou**
Ichika...
**[15:22] Fuutarou**
I just came to get something.
**[15:25] Fuutarou**
Y-Your Honor?
**[15:28] Miku**
Objection.
**[15:30] Miku**
Futaro may look like a criminal,
but he's innocent.
**[15:33] Fuutarou**
What do you mean, I look like a criminal?
**[15:37] Miku**
I let him in over the intercom.
**[15:39] Miku**
There's a recording, too.
**[15:41] Miku**
This was an unforeseen accident.
**[15:44] Fuutarou**
*Miku!*
**[15:45] Nino**
You're *still* taking his side?
**[15:48] Nino**
This guy said it himself!
**[15:50] Nino**
That he's here to *take* something!
***SIGN*** Take
***SIGN*** To take sneak shots!
**[15:53] Miku**
You mean he forgot something,
and he came to *get* it.
***SIGN*** Get
**[15:59] Nino**
Your Honor, Miku is defending him
due to her feelings for him.
**[16:07] Miku**
N-No.
**[16:09] Fuutarou**
I knew you would believe in me, Miku.
**[16:13] Miku**
Don't come any closer.
**[16:15] Fuutarou**
Huh?!
**[16:17] Nino**
Are you acting like that
because you're wary of him?
**[16:20] Miku**
I'm not.
**[16:21] Miku**
You're imagining things.
**[16:23] Nino**
Just so you know, he saw me naked.
**[16:26] Miku**
It's not like there's much to see.
**[16:28] Nino**
Maybe not for you, but there is for me.
**[16:31] Miku**
Our bodies are about the same.
**[16:33] Itsuki**
N-Now's not the time to be arguing.
**[16:35] Miku**
Shut up, Itsuki.
**[16:37] Nino**
Also, delete that photo already.
**[16:42] Itsuki**
Your Honor!
**[16:43] Ichika**
There, there.
**[16:46] Ichika**
Even if Miku were right, would you
really end up in this position?
**[16:51] Nino**
Ichika!
**[16:52] Nino**
I knew you would understand.
**[16:55] Nino**
This guy threw himself
onto me out of nowhere.
**[16:58] Fuutarou**
No, I was...
**[16:59] Miku**
Futaro, is that true?
**[17:02] Fuutarou**
Y-Yeah, but that was...
**[17:04] Miku**
You're guilty.
**[17:06] Miku**
Commit seppuku.
**[17:07] Fuutarou**
M-Miku-san?!
**[17:09] Fuutarou**
*Shoot, I need to fight back.*
**[17:12] Fuutarou**
*I'm going to lose my tutoring job.*
**[17:15] Fuutarou**
*But can I get them to believe me?*
**[17:18] Fuutarou**
The shelves...
**[17:19] Itsuki**
Some books fell off the the shelves,
**[17:22] ---**
and he shielded Nino from them?
**[17:27] Itsuki**
If you look carefully,
you could see it that way.
**[17:32] Itsuki**
Is that not it?
**[17:34] Fuutarou**
Th-That's exactly it!
**[17:36] Fuutarou**
Thanks, Itsuki.
**[17:38] Itsuki**
I haven't done anything for you to thank me.
**[17:41] Itsuki**
I'm just proposing a possible explanation.
**[17:45] Miku**
True.
**[17:47] Ichika**
Yeah, there's no way Futaro-kun
would have the balls.
**[17:50] Nino**
H-Hey!
**[17:51] Nino**
Why are you talking like
it's been resolved now?
**[17:53] Nino**
Quit talking out of your ass!
**[17:56] Miku**
Stop it, Nino.
**[17:58] Nino**
How dare you?
**[18:00] Ichika**
Come on, don't get so heated.
**[18:03] Ichika**
We sisters used to get
along so well, remember?
**[18:09] Fuutarou**
That said, this happened
because I was being careless.
**[18:12] Fuutarou**
Sorry.
**[18:14] Nino**
We *used to*?
**[18:17] Nino**
I...
**[18:19] Fuutarou**
Hey, Nino?
**[18:25] Fuutarou**
She just left.
**[18:27] Fuutarou**
Shouldn't we get her?
**[18:31] Miku**
Let her be.
**[18:35] Fuutarou**
*I can finally go home and study.*

**[19:14] Nino**
God, you're so useless.
**[19:16] Fuutarou**

**[19:18] Fuutarou**

I don't want to see your face anymore.
**[19:29] Fuutarou**
I see.
**[19:30] Fuutarou**
Well, sorry.
**[19:32] Fuutarou**
*She'd probably lash out if I helped her.*
**[19:35] Fuutarou**
*Go ahead and wait by yourself.*
**[19:51] Nino**
What are you doing?
**[19:52] Fuutarou**
There's a problem I just couldn't solve.
**[19:56] Fuutarou**
I don't feel like going
home until I solve it.
**[20:00] Nino**
I see.
**[20:01] Nino**
All you ever care about is studying.
So stupid.
**[20:04] Fuutarou**
Studying is stupid? That's a paradox.
**[20:07] Fuutarou**
Wait, I guess you could say
I'm studying because I'm stupid.
**[20:10] Nino**
Shut up.
**[20:13] Nino**
Everyone's so stupid. I hate them all.
**[20:16] Fuutarou**
Everyone? Including your sisters?
**[20:21] Fuutarou**
You're lying.
**[20:23] Nino**
I'm not.
**[20:24] Nino**
They've got to be crazy to let
a creepy guy like you inside.
**[20:29] Nino**
Our home...
**[20:31] Fuutarou**
"This home is for us five.
There's no place for him here."
**[20:35] Fuutarou**
That's what you said.
**[20:38] Nino**
Just shut up already.
**[20:39] Fuutarou**
It can't be just because you hate me.
**[20:43] Fuutarou**
You hate your sisters?
**[20:45] Fuutarou**
Are you sure it's not the opposite?
**[20:48] Fuutarou**
You love your four sisters, don't you?
**[20:51] Fuutarou**
That's why you don't like
an outsider like me.
**[20:55] Nino**
What?
**[20:57] Nino**
You're so incredibly wrong.
**[21:00] Nino**
You think you understand me.
**[21:03] Nino**
That could never happen.
**[21:05] Nino**
Creep.
**[21:12] Nino**
What? What's wrong with that?
**[21:16] Nino**
I just...
**[21:21] Fuutarou**
Nino, I know how you feel.
**[21:24] Fuutarou**
I have a sister.
**[21:26] Nino**
Yeah.
**[21:28] Nino**
I didn't do anything wrong, did I?
**[21:30] Nino**
This is so stupid. Why should I
have to beat myself up over this?
**[21:34] Nino**
I've made up my mind.
**[21:39] Nino**
I'm not going to accept you.
**[21:43] Nino**
Even if that makes the other girls hate me.
**[21:52] Miku**
Nino, how long are you going to sit here?
**[21:55] Miku**
Hurry up and get back inside.
**[21:57] ---**
Miku?
**[21:59] Miku**
You're here too, Futaro?
**[22:01] Miku**
Perfect.
**[22:02] Miku**
About tomorrow...
**[22:02] Nino**
Let's head back, Miku.
**[22:05] Miku**
But I still need to talk to him.
**[22:07] Nino**
Forget it.
**[22:12] Fuutarou**
*It looks like it's going to get even harder.*
**[22:14] Fuutarou**
*This is why I hate meddling too much.*

Nino's in charge of the chores.
**[23:54] Nino**
We're taking turns cooking
from now on, though.
**[23:56] Yotsuba**
Okay!
**[23:56] Yotsuba**
How much water?
**[23:57] Yotsuba**
Eyeball it!
**[23:58] Nino**
You're fired!
**[23:58] Itsuki**
Five cups of rice each.
**[23:59] Nino**
You're fired!
**[24:00] Ichika**
I ordered pizza!
**[24:01] Nino**
You're fired!

I'm...

Fired!
