See you tomorrow. 20:29.850 --> 20:30.890 What's wrong? 20:38.360 --> 20:39.530 Uh, well... 20:41.280 --> 20:43.490 I, uh... 20:43.660 --> 20:48.290 My last boyfriend, and the one before that, and my first boyfriend... They were all like that. 20:48.450 --> 20:50.960 They all dumped me because I was an otaku. 20:51.120 --> 20:55.420 It's always been like that for me, so this feels so easy for me now! 20:55.590 --> 20:57.920 I don't have to hide the fact that I'm an otaku. 20:58.460 --> 21:01.920 But neither of us is the other's ideal type. 21:02.090 --> 21:06.390 We're both otaku. I'm sure we're both making some compromises. 21:07.970 --> 21:10.390 Well, you're right. 21:12.520 --> 21:17.320 I'd be lying if I said I wasn't compromising on anything. 21:18.440 --> 21:20.990 -Hey, you. Just now... -I wasn't looking. 21:21.150 --> 21:22.570 Where were you looking? 21:22.740 --> 21:25.450 Nowhere. The fact that your boobs are small is unrelated. 21:25.620 --> 21:28.620 You bastard! 21:29.830 --> 21:32.460 In other words, what are you trying to say? 21:32.620 --> 21:34.000 I meant that... 21:34.170 --> 21:38.090 I just thought that maybe you'd rather be dating a normal girl. 21:38.250 --> 21:40.550 That's all. 21:40.710 --> 21:42.800 Okay. The end! Let's go home! 21:46.340 --> 21:49.310 I'm not with you just because you're an otaku 21:49.470 --> 21:52.560 or just because it's easy. 21:54.140 --> 21:59.110 I love seeing you do the things you like. 22:02.070 --> 22:04.780 Anyway, that's how I feel. 22:04.950 --> 22:07.120 So don't think too hard about it. 22:08.160 --> 22:10.330 Hirotaka... 22:11.040 --> 22:13.040 You do like me... 22:13.200 --> 22:17.330 Oh. I take it back. I wish you would think more before you talk. 22:17.500 --> 22:20.420 But you've never said that before. 22:20.590 --> 22:21.960 What if--? 22:22.130 --> 22:26.590 Were you hung up on the fact that I said "it was a little awkward"? 22:27.260 --> 22:30.560 Of course not, idiot. Idiot. 22:44.440 --> 22:49.280 -Hey. How about going to the arcade after this? -West entrance, okay?
