00:30.770 --> 00:33.960
Hey, uh... you're Kachi-san, right?

00:34.390 --> 00:37.800
You're... Maru-kun, wasn't it?

00:38.130 --> 00:41.290
Huh? Uh, yeah... Maru Sueharu.

00:41.290 --> 00:43.020
You know my name?

00:43.020 --> 00:46.800
I know the names and faces of 
basically everyone in my class.

00:47.060 --> 00:49.570
Oh, I shouldn't be surprised.

00:49.570 --> 00:51.320
So what did you want?

00:51.720 --> 00:54.100
Or were you talking to me without 
having anything to say?

00:54.100 --> 00:55.960
You must really take me for a fool.

00:56.550 --> 00:58.860
U-Um...

00:59.010 --> 01:02.070
I read your novel, Kachi-san!

01:02.070 --> 01:03.130
My novel?

01:03.280 --> 01:05.070
Yeah, yours.

01:07.110 --> 01:10.040
Would you mind telling me 
what you thought of it?

01:13.380 --> 01:17.460
<i>Is the moment you fall in 
love easily recognizable?</i>

01:18.010 --> 01:23.430
<i>Of course, people with a lot of experience 
in relationships might say it is.</i>

01:25.150 --> 01:26.890
<i>But to be honest,</i>

01:27.970 --> 01:31.340
<i>I've been wondering if I'm just 
telling myself that I could recognize it.</i>

01:33.530 --> 01:36.760
It was really good! It moved my heart!

01:40.600 --> 01:41.750
Thank you.

01:42.870 --> 01:45.850
It truly makes me happy 
to hear that from you.

01:45.850 --> 01:49.670
I'm glad I worked so hard 
to get to this point.

01:51.050 --> 01:53.090
<i>Love isn't something you fall into.</i>

01:54.000 --> 01:57.880
<i>It spreads all over your body,
eating away at it.</i>

01:59.100 --> 02:00.980
<i>In winter of my first year of high school,</i>

02:01.450 --> 02:03.810
<i>I fell victim to love's poison.</i>

Congrats Track Team for Going to the Inter-High</b>

02:12.880 --> 02:14.410
Yeah? Let me see.

<b>Debuting in Her First Year of High School 
The Beautiful Winner of the Akutami Award</b>

02:14.400 --> 02:24.370
<b>Beneath Her Cool Beauty Lies a Willful Body</b>

02:14.400 --> 02:24.370
<b>Beneath Her Cool Beauty Lies a Willful Body</b>

02:14.560 --> 02:17.370
Man, she always looks so gorgeous!

02:16.630 --> 02:18.650
She's unbelievably beautiful!

02:18.650 --> 02:21.250
And she has that aloof air that 
keeps people at arm's length.

02:21.250 --> 02:24.360
I love how she looks like she knows 
she's the hottest thing around!

02:24.630 --> 02:28.390
Sueharu, are you gonna be 
in the confession festival?

02:28.630 --> 02:29.840
Uh...

02:29.840 --> 02:32.130
Nothing happened for you this summer, right?

02:32.120 --> 02:32.750
Sponsored by the Student Council

02:32.120 --> 02:33.670
Confession Festival!

02:32.120 --> 02:34.960
The Shouts of High School Boys!

02:32.120 --> 02:35.880
<i>Young men! 
Shout out your love at the finale of the cultural festival!</i>

02:32.330 --> 02:34.770
Well, what about you, Tetsuhiko?

02:33.670 --> 02:36.090
It's your chance to confess to the girl you love! 
2:00 PM on Day 2 of the cultural festival 
Place: the gym

02:34.770 --> 02:36.080
Yeah...

02:34.960 --> 02:36.090
Entry: until 11:50 AM on that day 
Come see us in the student council office!

02:36.520 --> 02:39.540
Bouncing between seven girls 
is getting to be a hassle.

02:39.850 --> 02:42.340
I should probably narrow 
it down to one soon.

02:42.340 --> 02:46.460
Didn't everyone hate you after you got 
caught three-timing before summer?

02:46.460 --> 02:49.390
Don't be dumb. Obviously, they were 
all from different schools.

02:49.390 --> 02:53.870
After all, to this school's girls, 
I'm lower than trash in the hierarchy.

02:54.280 --> 02:55.520
For instance...

03:00.800 --> 03:01.470
See?

03:01.770 --> 03:04.830
Your mental fortitude amazes me.

03:06.930 --> 03:10.590
So if you're deciding at the 
confession festival, who's it gonna be?

03:11.620 --> 03:12.900
Kachi Shirokusa.

03:15.300 --> 03:16.890
What would you do if I picked her?

03:18.420 --> 03:21.220
You are wrong. I do not care at all.

03:21.220 --> 03:22.580
Huh? What'd you say?

03:23.300 --> 03:25.520
Could you not react like that?

03:25.520 --> 03:28.170
Even I'm embarrassed by your desperation.

03:28.850 --> 03:31.320
I just decided that I'm gonna kill you!

03:31.320 --> 03:34.630
Ow, ow! Dude, you're actually serious!

03:34.630 --> 03:37.660
Don't get so bent out of—ow, ow, ow!

03:37.980 --> 03:39.150
Oh, Kachi...

03:39.310 --> 03:41.260
I'm not falling for that!

03:45.590 --> 03:46.290
Huh?

03:47.140 --> 03:48.770
Did you need me for something?

03:49.230 --> 03:50.940
Er... huh?

03:50.940 --> 03:52.530
What are you doing here?

03:52.940 --> 03:56.790
This is our classroom. 
Why wouldn't I be here?

03:56.970 --> 03:59.210
Yeah, but... I mean...

03:59.210 --> 04:01.800
Don't you usually eat with 
Mine in the cafeteria?

04:02.220 --> 04:04.430
Meiko had other things to do.

04:04.430 --> 04:06.390
She said she'll be back soon, though.

04:06.390 --> 04:08.340
Oh, I see.

04:08.340 --> 04:10.180
What size do you think she is here?

04:10.180 --> 04:12.010
D... wait, maybe E?

04:12.010 --> 04:14.050
Man, if only we could see the 
lines a little better...

04:14.320 --> 04:17.010
Looking at the pin-up of 
Kachi that came out today?

04:17.900 --> 04:20.920
I hate dirty-minded people.

04:22.170 --> 04:23.940
What scum.

04:23.940 --> 04:26.440
Maybe you should all just die out.

04:28.390 --> 04:31.030
Damn. RIP.

04:31.030 --> 04:34.350
I'd say it's their own 
fault for looking at that.

04:34.350 --> 04:36.880
Let me give you some advice as your friend.

04:36.880 --> 04:39.350
She's out of your league, man.

04:39.350 --> 04:40.170
Huh?

04:40.350 --> 04:44.440
She's smart, she's athletic, 
her debut work won the Akutami Award,

04:40.840 --> 04:47.380
<b>Go get it back by the end
 of the day if you want</b>

04:41.500 --> 04:47.380
<b>I'll be taking that.
I'll leave it with
the teacher</b>

04:44.440 --> 04:47.400
and she got her own pin-up, 
making her famous nationwide.

04:47.590 --> 04:49.880
When she talks in that aloof tone, 
she's not trying to impress anyone.

04:49.880 --> 04:51.590
She's super popular on TV, too.

04:51.860 --> 04:53.900
Take my advice and just give up.

04:54.380 --> 04:57.400
Kachi and I actually get along pretty well.

04:57.400 --> 04:58.100
Huh?

04:58.460 --> 05:01.840
I talked to her once last winter.

05:01.840 --> 05:05.570
We realized we live near each other, 
and we started talking now and then.

05:05.940 --> 05:07.830
Oh? And that's how you fell for her?

05:07.830 --> 05:08.820
No!

05:09.020 --> 05:11.860
Kachi's not how she seems on the outside.

05:11.860 --> 05:14.330
She's, like... cheerful, even innocent!

05:14.330 --> 05:16.070
Come back to reality, please.

05:18.990 --> 05:21.010
Wow, that looks nice!

05:21.010 --> 05:24.130
I've never seen such 
perfectly organized notes!

05:24.900 --> 05:26.750
I'm gonna copy them.

05:36.610 --> 05:40.090
I'm sorry. The notes are gone now.

05:40.090 --> 05:42.640
But they were mine, so that's 
not your problem, right?

05:42.990 --> 05:48.420
Or are you a parasite that just wants to 
lick the sweet nectar off of everyone else?

05:49.370 --> 05:50.960
This is stupid!

05:58.190 --> 06:00.630
Let me help you, Shirokusa-san.

06:00.630 --> 06:02.260
Thanks, Meiko.

06:25.840 --> 06:27.010
Kachi...

06:33.360 --> 06:35.740
You know, if you want a girlfriend,

06:35.740 --> 06:37.700
why don't you just ask Shida-chan?

06:39.590 --> 06:41.120
Ow!

06:44.160 --> 06:47.510
Shida-chan already looks out for you.

06:47.510 --> 06:50.470
If you asked her sincerely, 
she might actually say yes.

06:50.470 --> 06:53.190
No... Kuroha's not really...

06:53.190 --> 06:58.230
Come to think of it, Shida-chan didn't 
come to talk to you at lunch today.

06:58.230 --> 06:59.250
That's rare.

06:59.250 --> 07:02.310
Is it? I'd say it happens every now and then.

07:03.970 --> 07:07.020
It's your fault. Go apologize to her.

07:07.020 --> 07:08.790
We're not fighting or anything!

07:08.790 --> 07:10.840
Also, why is it my fault?!

07:10.840 --> 07:12.220
It always is.

07:13.210 --> 07:17.180
Look, Shida-chan's out of your league, too.

07:17.180 --> 07:20.620
If she wasn't your childhood friend, 
you'd never even get near her.

07:20.920 --> 07:24.810
I know that. She's cute, guys like her,

07:24.810 --> 07:28.310
and she's good at communicating. 
I respect her a lot.

07:28.310 --> 07:29.580
Oh?

07:29.980 --> 07:33.730
So that's how you feel about me, Haru?

07:37.050 --> 07:38.790
What're you being all shy for?

07:38.790 --> 07:40.760
I guess even you have your cute moments.

07:40.950 --> 07:43.390
Your big sis here likes 
that about you, you know.

07:45.550 --> 07:47.720
D-Don't talk about "liking" me!

07:47.720 --> 07:50.520
And don't call yourself my big sis!

07:50.760 --> 07:54.630
Why? You're the one who 
puts me through so much.

07:54.630 --> 07:57.730
You're even more trouble than 
my little sisters, honestly.

07:57.950 --> 08:00.120
Damn it, there's Maru with Shida-san again!

08:00.120 --> 08:01.380
Guilty!

08:01.380 --> 08:04.270
Having an older loli for a childhood 
friend makes him guilty!

08:04.270 --> 08:05.750
Take it easy, Goudo!

08:05.750 --> 08:09.410
Maru's a useless childhood friend, 
so Shida-san's still pure!

08:09.410 --> 08:11.210
It's so unbearable, though.

08:11.420 --> 08:15.290
There's a cave in the mountains out 
back! No one'll find him there!

08:15.290 --> 08:16.490
They're gonna kill me!

08:17.840 --> 08:18.850

08:22.360 --> 08:23.610
Haru!

08:24.070 --> 08:26.640
I-I'm just going to the bathroom...

08:26.640 --> 08:28.990
I knew it. You're avoiding me, aren't you?

08:28.990 --> 08:29.730
Gulp!

08:30.080 --> 08:33.440
Is it because you regret turning me down?

08:34.950 --> 08:39.160
You're running away when something 
this big's going down, Sueharu?

08:40.180 --> 08:43.360
You're not getting away, Maru!

08:44.150 --> 08:47.620
I'm sorry! Please forgive me!

08:45.120 --> 08:47.620
<b>Secret Technique: Rapid Prostration!!</b>

08:47.820 --> 08:50.710
I'm talking to him right now.
 Don't get in the way.

08:51.360 --> 08:53.830
Sorry, Shida-san.

08:54.250 --> 08:56.670
Uh-oh, Heaven help you guys.

08:56.670 --> 08:58.340
C'mon, time to go.

09:01.420 --> 09:03.280
You saved my skin, Kuro.

09:04.150 --> 09:05.280
Answer me.

09:06.020 --> 09:08.710
Do you regret it or not?

09:08.710 --> 09:10.280
I-I do.

09:10.280 --> 09:13.150
So does that mean you do 
want to go out with me?

09:14.120 --> 09:15.010
Well...

09:15.620 --> 09:19.550
I do think we'd have a lot 
of fun if we were a couple.

09:20.350 --> 09:22.070
But right now, I...

09:23.100 --> 09:24.820
I'm really sorry.

09:25.320 --> 09:26.660
Huh...

09:29.200 --> 09:32.040
Well, I guess I'll let you off the hook now.

09:33.200 --> 09:35.020
Just kidding!

09:35.850 --> 09:38.350
Asking you out was actually just a game!

09:38.350 --> 09:39.290
Huh?!

09:40.050 --> 09:42.180
Sorry I didn't tell you before now.

09:42.180 --> 09:44.870
You... You brat!

09:45.240 --> 09:46.570
Did you take me seriously?

09:47.010 --> 09:50.860
Did you feel awkward and start 
panicking? Stressing? Agonizing?

09:50.860 --> 09:54.590
You should really feel 
more grateful to have me!

09:54.950 --> 09:57.530
Seriously, give me a break, Kuro...

09:57.930 --> 10:00.600
It was a good lesson, though, wasn't it?

10:00.600 --> 10:02.090
Maybe, but...

10:02.280 --> 10:04.040
I'm still gonna do this!

10:04.040 --> 10:05.400
Stop!

10:05.770 --> 10:07.980
You jerk! You're honestly the worst!

10:07.980 --> 10:08.800
Oh, c'mon.

10:08.800 --> 10:11.020
You can forget about copying my homework!

10:11.790 --> 10:13.630
Anything but that! Please!

10:13.630 --> 10:16.250
Your groveling means nothing, you know.

10:16.630 --> 10:19.010
<b>Your big sister is starting to
 worry about your future</b>

10:17.950 --> 10:19.000
What?!

10:19.000 --> 10:21.340
You're gonna go out with Abe-senpai?!

10:23.600 --> 10:26.290
When did he ask you out? And where?

10:26.290 --> 10:28.730
Last week, when we went to the beach.

10:29.000 --> 10:32.160
Huh... So Kachi-san got a boyfriend.

10:32.860 --> 10:38.190
Isn't Abe the guy whose dad is an actor, 
so he recently debuted as one, too?

10:38.800 --> 10:41.140
I guess that would make 
him a worthy candidate.

10:48.390 --> 10:49.610
I'm going home.

10:51.490 --> 10:53.960
Aw. I told him so.

10:54.780 --> 10:55.790
Haru...

11:04.660 --> 11:07.010
Damn it... Damn it...

11:08.470 --> 11:11.720
Poor Haru. You got shot down, huh?

11:12.080 --> 11:14.020
I did not.

11:14.400 --> 11:15.670
Huh.

11:20.570 --> 11:24.410
Sorry, Kuro... but could you 
leave me alone right now?

11:25.000 --> 11:27.440
Talking to you will just make 
me want to lean on you.

11:28.120 --> 11:29.320
You can, you know.

11:30.550 --> 11:33.820
You're so nice, Kuro.

11:34.360 --> 11:36.380
Especially after I rejected you...

11:36.690 --> 11:39.170
Haru, go out with me.

11:40.170 --> 11:43.650
I told you, I just did that 
because I lost a game.

11:44.030 --> 11:46.040
You're forcing it, aren't you?

11:47.590 --> 11:48.900
All that about a game...

11:49.360 --> 11:50.840
Sorry for making you lie.

11:51.560 --> 11:55.910
You act like an older sister, 
but I know you like to be doted on.

12:01.080 --> 12:01.820
Hey—

12:02.500 --> 12:03.670
A freebie for you.

12:05.640 --> 12:07.380
Because you figured it out.

12:08.330 --> 12:11.900
You're pretty dumb, but you're a decent guy.

12:12.340 --> 12:15.450
You're nice to me, even when 
you're hurting yourself.

12:16.340 --> 12:18.910
That's why... I like you.

12:23.180 --> 12:27.030
It was upsetting that you didn't choose me,

12:27.030 --> 12:29.380
but that doesn't change my feelings for you.

12:29.830 --> 12:32.580
I'll always be on your side, Haru.

12:33.310 --> 12:34.450
Kuro...

12:35.720 --> 12:38.250
Go ahead and cry. It'll help.

12:39.510 --> 12:42.040
Kachi-san has no idea what she's missing.

12:42.040 --> 12:44.320
You're such a good guy.

12:46.370 --> 12:47.800
Damn it...

12:48.710 --> 12:50.740
She was my first love...

12:54.510 --> 12:56.990
Kachi-san's pretty cruel, isn't she?

12:56.990 --> 12:57.710
Huh?

12:58.020 --> 12:59.980
She was all buddy-buddy with you,

12:59.980 --> 13:03.350
then ran off to her first choice 
once she saw her chance with him.

13:03.350 --> 13:07.210
I can't believe she'd treat you like that.

13:08.170 --> 13:09.480
Thanks...

13:09.820 --> 13:13.220
But even though I should give up,

13:13.530 --> 13:16.270
I still feel like she might look my way.

13:16.770 --> 13:18.170
Pathetic, right?

13:21.420 --> 13:23.890
Haru, let's get revenge.

13:25.450 --> 13:28.060
She made a fool of you.

13:28.060 --> 13:30.580
You might forgive her, but I never will.

13:30.910 --> 13:33.480
Whoa... That seems a bit extreme...

13:33.480 --> 13:37.800
Frankly, I've always hated Kachi-san.

13:37.800 --> 13:39.540
For real? What is it you hate?

13:39.770 --> 13:41.370
Everything about her!

13:41.680 --> 13:43.980
I never thought I'd hear 
you talk like that...

13:43.980 --> 13:45.250
You've changed, Kuro.

13:45.690 --> 13:49.880
What's wrong with that? We don't 
need to hide anything anymore.

13:49.880 --> 13:53.210
Well, we've both been pretty 
frank with each other...

13:53.630 --> 13:56.390
What do you think about getting revenge?

13:56.680 --> 13:59.650
To be honest... I'm so upset, I want to.

14:00.000 --> 14:00.990
But...

14:00.990 --> 14:05.690
Just picture Abe-senpai 
and Kachi-san together!

14:05.690 --> 14:06.350
Huh?

14:06.810 --> 14:09.150
They've been dating for a week.

14:09.150 --> 14:11.810
They might have their 
first date this weekend!

14:11.810 --> 14:14.230
Think they'll go to the movies?

14:14.230 --> 14:16.630
Then maybe they'll get dinner, then tea,

14:16.630 --> 14:18.930
and then maybe they'll 
go to the observatory.

14:19.400 --> 14:23.230
Then he'll walk her home,
and they'll try to say goodbye,

14:23.230 --> 14:26.420
but Senpai will stop her, and their lips—

14:26.420 --> 14:30.220
No! I can't believe them! Both of them!

14:30.570 --> 14:34.450
How is it good-looking guys get the 
best stuff without even trying?!

14:34.450 --> 14:37.470
God might forgive you, but I never will!

14:37.770 --> 14:40.090
Guilty or not guilty?

14:40.090 --> 14:41.570
Guilty!

14:43.530 --> 14:47.410
You're right! I do need revenge!

14:47.410 --> 14:49.730
You only ever have one first love!

14:52.920 --> 14:55.030
She might call me scum,

14:55.030 --> 14:57.650
but I'm gonna get her back 
a million times worse!

15:05.050 --> 15:07.830
I've been waiting to hear you say that.

15:15.480 --> 15:20.810
<i>Kuro once told me that her name, 
Kuroha, comes from "clover."</i>

15:21.260 --> 15:23.370

15:23.370 --> 15:28.780
<i>"good fortune," "think of me," 
"promise," and...</i>

15:29.280 --> 15:30.370
<i>"revenge."</i>

15:30.960 --> 15:33.020
I'll help you out, Haru.

15:33.400 --> 15:36.290
Yeah. I'm gonna avenge my first love!

23rd Entertainment Club Round Table Meeting 
Topic: Cultural Festival

16:30.020 --> 16:31.750
Return the key when you're done.

16:32.130 --> 16:33.200
Thanks.

16:33.200 --> 16:34.480
No problem.

16:36.060 --> 16:41.150
So you're saying you'll find 
Abe-senpai's weakness and expose it?

16:41.150 --> 16:45.350
Yes! Every man has a thing or 
two he wants to keep secret!

16:45.670 --> 16:48.380
And there's no way Kachi 
will come out unscathed!

16:48.380 --> 16:50.470
People will see what lousy 
taste in men she has,

16:50.470 --> 16:53.820
and she'll be labeled a useless woman 
who got snared by a useless man!

16:53.820 --> 16:56.610
Then both Abe and Kachi 
will hit rock bottom!

16:58.110 --> 17:00.030
My own genius scares me.

17:00.380 --> 17:02.240
I see.

17:02.460 --> 17:04.790
Well, it's not a bad idea,

17:04.790 --> 17:06.700
but it's a little naïve.

17:06.700 --> 17:08.200
What?! What's wrong with it?

17:08.450 --> 17:11.840
You wouldn't be winning.
You just wouldn't be losing.

17:12.310 --> 17:15.340
So even if you get revenge, 
you'll only feel empty.

17:15.630 --> 17:17.670
What should we do, then?

17:17.670 --> 17:21.180
Don't worry. You just need to end up happy.

17:21.180 --> 17:23.050
Then you're the winner, right?

17:23.400 --> 17:25.100
Happy...

17:26.140 --> 17:28.240
What would make you happy?

17:28.240 --> 17:30.600
When you hear "happy," what comes to mind?

17:34.410 --> 17:38.490
If Kachi confessed to me... 
that might make me happy...

17:39.200 --> 17:41.480
And here I'm talking about 
revenge. Stupid, huh?

17:41.480 --> 17:42.790
Very stupid.

17:42.790 --> 17:45.930
You're where you are now because 
that didn't happen, remember?

17:47.880 --> 17:50.220
But I know how you feel.

17:51.180 --> 17:52.260
Kuro...

17:53.210 --> 17:54.530
Hey, Haru...

17:55.210 --> 17:58.250
Why don't you pretend to be my boyfriend?

17:58.630 --> 18:01.100
Huh?! How would that get me revenge?

18:01.100 --> 18:04.600
Kachi had a sweet side that 
she only showed to you,

18:04.980 --> 18:08.450
so she likes you enough that she 
wanted to keep you around.

18:08.450 --> 18:10.570
I think that's a safe assumption.

18:10.570 --> 18:11.680
O-Okay...

18:11.680 --> 18:14.410
But if the boy she wanted to 
keep around got a girlfriend,

18:14.410 --> 18:18.020
and if it was a cutie like me 
to boot, how would she feel?

18:18.230 --> 18:21.160
You're really overconfident 
sometimes, you know that?

18:21.620 --> 18:22.600
That's bad?

18:23.330 --> 18:25.330
N-No, it's fine...

18:26.920 --> 18:28.830
So that would mean...

18:29.500 --> 18:34.340
<b>I thought I was
keeping him around,
but he was just
keeping me around...</b>

18:29.650 --> 18:33.350
I thought I was keeping him around, 
but he was just keeping me around...

18:33.350 --> 18:34.340
<i>Wow!</i>

18:34.560 --> 18:37.020
That's exactly how I was hoping to strike!

18:37.020 --> 18:38.110
Right?

18:38.110 --> 18:41.820
Are you sure, though? You'd have 
to force yourself again...

18:41.820 --> 18:44.890
Jeez, you really are an idiot, Haru.

18:46.910 --> 18:49.800
I get to go out with the guy 
I love, even if it's fake.

18:49.800 --> 18:52.650
That's nothing but profit for me.

18:57.950 --> 18:59.760
Whoa... Wait, wait...

18:59.760 --> 19:03.250
What is this? Am I that easy?!

19:03.500 --> 19:04.380
Haru?

19:04.380 --> 19:06.570
Calm down... Calm down!

19:09.690 --> 19:15.200
Why don't you just tell your big 
sis how you really feel already?

19:15.200 --> 19:17.880
K-Kuro! We shouldn't do this!

19:17.880 --> 19:18.870
Do what?

19:18.870 --> 19:20.470
You know what!

19:21.690 --> 19:22.960
You're so cute.

19:22.960 --> 19:24.470
You're the one who's cute!

19:25.320 --> 19:28.420
Even if it's fake, the idea of 
dating you makes me embarrassed!

19:28.420 --> 19:30.190
And I'm a total creep for 
being happy about it!

19:30.190 --> 19:32.520
Oh, I'm sorry...

19:32.520 --> 19:35.100
No... I'm sorry.

19:35.330 --> 19:39.000
O-Okay, then, I guess 
we'll go with this plan.

19:39.000 --> 19:40.610
Right.

19:40.610 --> 19:43.200
Just so we can call it a done deal...

19:43.200 --> 19:44.620
should we go ahead and kiss?

19:44.620 --> 19:45.890
What?!

19:47.070 --> 19:48.030
Ow!

19:49.230 --> 19:51.010
Wait... Kuro...

19:51.780 --> 19:54.310
Have you lost all reason?!

19:54.310 --> 19:58.150
I mean, isn't this the kind of 
situation where you'd just... do it?

19:58.150 --> 20:01.000
So I thought a little kiss couldn't hurt.

20:01.300 --> 20:02.960
Right, Haru?

20:03.220 --> 20:05.680
<i>H-Hang in there, my reason!</i>

20:05.900 --> 20:07.920
Why are you holding back?

20:07.920 --> 20:10.130
Just look at what I'm like already.

20:10.550 --> 20:11.790
You're so unfair.

20:12.200 --> 20:13.420
You're close...

20:13.590 --> 20:17.550
It's okay, Haru.
There's nothing to be afraid of.

20:17.770 --> 20:21.080
What I'm afraid of is that 
there'll be no going back...

20:21.600 --> 20:24.410
You're still able to think about the future?

20:24.410 --> 20:26.060
I can't have that.

20:29.670 --> 20:30.380
N...

20:31.010 --> 20:32.980
No!

20:32.980 --> 20:33.620
Huh?

20:34.390 --> 20:36.780
Sorry, Kuro! See you tomorrow!

20:37.510 --> 20:39.380
Wait... Haru!

20:41.830 --> 20:43.280
What a loser.

20:45.910 --> 20:48.390
Damn that Kuro...

20:49.010 --> 20:52.890
No! What I need to do right 
now is get info on Abe!

20:54.110 --> 20:55.810
Hey! Do you have a minute?!

20:58.220 --> 21:00.850
<i>Everyone said nothing but good things.</i>

21:00.860 --> 21:04.570
<b>...not sarcastic at all, I totally mean... 
...a really good, upright guy... 
...since he's so approachable. Anyway... 
...don't show up much, but even though I'm just a first-year...

...about him? You mean in terms of relationships and stuff? 
...but even then, Abe-senpai... 
...everyone already knew... 
It was no use.</b>

21:01.570 --> 21:04.330
<i>It's no wonder Kachi fell in love with him.</i>

21:04.820 --> 21:07.080
Wait! I can't just give up!

21:07.590 --> 21:10.110
I am Envy Mask, and I burn with envy.

21:10.110 --> 21:12.050
If I hear good things 
about my rival in love,

21:12.050 --> 21:16.530
it just makes me even more 
determined to expose him!

21:16.530 --> 21:19.740
Wow, I'd love to hear more about that.

21:19.740 --> 21:20.340
Huh?!

21:20.740 --> 21:22.010
Abe-senpai?!

21:22.010 --> 21:25.970
You're the one who's been asking 
around about me, right?

21:26.300 --> 21:28.040
Word spreads fast, huh?

21:28.040 --> 21:29.370
I just happened to find out.

21:29.370 --> 21:31.820
If you weren't the one 
who'd been asking around,

21:31.820 --> 21:33.680
I doubt you wouldn't have come up here.

21:34.020 --> 21:38.150
Wow... A famous guy like you knows who I am?

21:38.330 --> 21:40.450
I wouldn't say I know you.

21:40.450 --> 21:43.270
To be precise, it's more like I remembered.

21:45.850 --> 21:48.480
Whatever might you be talking about?

21:49.360 --> 21:54.450
I had no idea until just recently 
that you were at this school.

22:01.470 --> 22:03.580
The former genius child actor,

22:04.060 --> 22:06.010

22:07.890 --> 22:08.820
