00:00.630 --> 00:02.770
Amnesia?!

00:02.770 --> 00:05.520
And how has she "lost her mind," exactly?

00:05.700 --> 00:08.360
Kuro-nee's been eating 
her meals like normal!

00:08.360 --> 00:10.290
She's eating like normal?!

00:10.290 --> 00:12.440
And that's what's so weird!

00:12.440 --> 00:14.680
She still puts honey on her sashimi, right?

00:14.680 --> 00:16.530
No, she doesn't.

00:16.530 --> 00:18.390
Whipped cream on her white rice?

00:18.390 --> 00:20.290
Unfortunately, no.

00:20.600 --> 00:23.380
Haru-nii and Dori-nee are 
as hopeless as ever.

00:23.380 --> 00:25.910
The conversation isn't getting anywhere.

00:27.980 --> 00:31.250
It sounds like you're having fun,
Sueharu-oniichan.

00:31.250 --> 00:32.180
No way!

00:32.180 --> 00:35.370
Kuro-nee shot you down, so you 
brought another woman here?!

00:35.680 --> 00:37.450
H-Haru-niisan...

00:37.450 --> 00:39.210
How immoral. I misjudged you.

00:39.210 --> 00:40.760
Y-You've got it all wrong!

00:40.760 --> 00:43.980
We were both child actors. 
Her name's Momosaka Maria.

00:43.980 --> 00:47.350
Momosaka Maria? The one from 
<i>The Perfect Little Sister<i>?!</i></i>

00:47.510 --> 00:49.050
Who are they?

00:49.340 --> 00:52.680
They're the younger sisters of Kuroha,
 the girl you met today.

00:53.090 --> 00:56.690
They live next door, so they've always 
been like my own little sisters.

00:56.890 --> 00:58.150
Oh...

00:58.430 --> 01:00.490
The big one is the second daughter, Midori.

01:00.490 --> 01:03.560
Middle school third-year. 
A bit violent, but athletic.

01:03.830 --> 01:05.730
She plays tennis on the national level.

01:05.730 --> 01:07.110
You didn't need to call me violent!

01:07.450 --> 01:10.520
That's the third daughter, Aoi-chan. 
Middle school first-year.

01:10.520 --> 01:13.460
Shy, but kind. She's basically an angel.

01:13.460 --> 01:16.220
Gosh, Haru-niisan, you give 
me too much praise.

01:16.580 --> 01:18.660
And that's the youngest, Akane.

01:18.660 --> 01:20.790
Middle school first-year, 
and Aoi-chan's twin.

01:21.070 --> 01:24.110
She's a prodigy who passed level 1 of 
the Global Mathematics Certification.

01:24.110 --> 01:26.200
That's not such a big deal.

01:26.450 --> 01:30.270
Including Kuroha, they're known 
as the "Colorful Sisters."

01:30.270 --> 01:33.300
So they're basically like 
my own sisters, then?

01:33.300 --> 01:36.870
You can call me "Momo-neesan" if you want.

01:38.090 --> 01:38.770
Ow!

01:38.770 --> 01:39.850
Cut it out.

01:39.850 --> 01:44.170
But Sueharu-oniichan can 
only be <i>my</i> big brother.

01:45.960 --> 01:49.360
Don't you think you're clinging 
to him a bit too much?

01:49.360 --> 01:51.380
Are you jealous?

01:51.380 --> 01:52.920
No, I'm not jealous.

01:52.920 --> 01:56.930
Anyway, I'm never calling you Momo-neesan!

01:56.930 --> 01:58.370
Really?

01:58.370 --> 02:01.310
And here I was thinking about uploading 
a photo of us together

02:01.310 --> 02:03.460
on social media to celebrate meeting you.

02:04.440 --> 02:06.350
It would get you a lot 
of attention for sure!

02:06.350 --> 02:08.220
You could brag to your friends!

02:08.220 --> 02:10.750
Hmph! Don't think you can bait me with that!

02:10.750 --> 02:14.450
Aw, but I just wanted us to be friends.

02:14.450 --> 02:17.310
W-Well, it's not like I'm 
rejecting you personally.

02:17.470 --> 02:18.970
Oh, that's good!

02:18.970 --> 02:21.650
You're so easy, Midori-chan! I love it!

02:21.650 --> 02:23.400
You let the truth slip out.

02:25.330 --> 02:27.350
Stop messing with me!

02:27.350 --> 02:30.370
Look, Momo, it's not like you're a neighbor.

02:30.370 --> 02:31.860
You should go home.

02:31.860 --> 02:34.850
But I wouldn't mind spending the night.

02:35.240 --> 02:37.220
Sueharu, you little...

02:37.220 --> 02:38.840
Chill out, Midori!

02:38.840 --> 02:40.940
Damn it, Momo, you're doing this on purpose!

02:40.940 --> 02:42.600
Whatever do you mean?

02:42.600 --> 02:43.420
Don't play dumb!

02:43.420 --> 02:45.350
Are you going to punish me?

02:45.350 --> 02:50.380
By playing doctor like you 
loved to do six years ago?

02:50.380 --> 02:51.860
Sueharu!

02:51.860 --> 02:53.780
Haru-niisan's a pervert.

02:53.780 --> 02:55.060
Haru-nii is a lecher.

02:55.060 --> 02:56.560
Momo!

02:56.560 --> 02:58.490
Aw, I'm just kidding.

03:12.040 --> 03:17.960
Osamake: Romcom Where
The Childhood Friend Won't Lose

04:29.480 --> 04:33.770
It seems like you're dealing with an emergency,
so I'll leave for today,

04:33.770 --> 04:38.680
but please consider coming 
back to show business, Sueharu-oniichan!

04:41.820 --> 04:43.740
I told you!

04:43.740 --> 04:48.230
All of Kuro-nee's memories from the 
time she confessed to you and got rejected

04:48.230 --> 04:51.210
up until the cultural festival 
are completely gone!

04:51.210 --> 04:51.970
Wha...

04:51.970 --> 04:53.420
Hang on, Midori.

04:53.420 --> 04:56.800
How do you know Kuro confessed 
to me and got rejected?

04:57.830 --> 05:00.160
Well, of course Kuro-nee wouldn't tell me!

05:00.160 --> 05:03.230
But it's obvious from the way 
she acts and stuff, you know?

05:03.580 --> 05:05.830
I never thought Midori 
could be so sensitive.

05:05.830 --> 05:09.410
Excuse me?! I'm a girl, you know!
I can tell these things!

05:09.410 --> 05:12.010
You could act more like a girl, then.

05:14.560 --> 05:18.180
Okay, sorry. You're very much a girl.

05:18.180 --> 05:20.250
Hmph. As long as you know.

05:20.690 --> 05:24.850
Wh-Where are you looking, you pervert?!

05:24.850 --> 05:25.710
I give! I give!

05:26.240 --> 05:30.420
But seriously, what are you gonna 
do about Kuro-nee, Sueharu?

05:31.450 --> 05:32.760
Hey, what's wrong with you?

05:32.940 --> 05:35.770
Dori-nee, bearing in mind 
everything that's happened,

05:35.770 --> 05:39.060
there's no doubt that Haru-nii 
is under a lot of stress, too.

05:39.060 --> 05:40.480
It's dangerous to push him.

05:40.700 --> 05:43.540
First of all, given the way 
Kuro-nee shot him down,

05:43.540 --> 05:44.600
he should be bedridden.

05:45.810 --> 05:49.330
On top of that, the video of it was 
uploaded and got over a million views.

05:49.330 --> 05:50.110
That's suicide level.

05:50.850 --> 05:55.090
If you tell him he pushed Kuro-nee to 
the point that she lost her memories,

05:55.090 --> 05:57.620
he'll have no choice but to commit seppuku.

05:59.590 --> 06:00.870
H-Haru-niisan?!

06:01.030 --> 06:03.720
Sorry, Haru-nii. That's not 
what I was trying to do.

06:06.420 --> 06:07.290
Ow.

06:07.920 --> 06:10.370
Since you're younger, the apology's enough.

06:10.370 --> 06:12.550
It's your elders' job to 
smile and forgive you.

06:13.060 --> 06:14.310
Haru-nii...

06:14.310 --> 06:16.180
Whose quote was that?

06:16.410 --> 06:18.650
Ma-chan-san of Acid Snake.

06:18.650 --> 06:21.200
You know her?! From a drama or what?!

06:21.200 --> 06:23.340
I'm a huge fan of hers!

06:23.340 --> 06:26.200
I heard her new song's 
gonna be really extreme!

06:26.200 --> 06:27.290
Do you know anything about it?

06:27.290 --> 06:30.070
No, I haven't had any contact 
with her since I retired.

06:30.210 --> 06:36.530
So, Haru-niisan, Kuro-neesan says she'll get 
you in the morning because she wants to talk.

06:37.350 --> 06:39.250
Don't try to get out of it, Sueharu.

06:39.250 --> 06:40.600
Okay, fine.

06:41.770 --> 06:44.460
Haru-nii, are you going to 
return to show business?

06:44.460 --> 06:47.650
Where'd that come from? 
I haven't decided yet.

06:48.710 --> 06:53.160
If you did return to show business,
 I'd be very proud,

06:53.160 --> 06:54.800
but also sad.

06:55.780 --> 06:58.020
I wouldn't try to stop you, though.

06:58.210 --> 06:59.340
Akane...

06:59.720 --> 07:01.850
If there's one thing I can say, it's that...

07:02.750 --> 07:06.340
Whether you choose show business or love,

07:06.340 --> 07:09.780
don't choose from a negative mindset 
of running away from love.

07:09.780 --> 07:12.760
I want you to make the choice 
with a positive mindset.

07:12.760 --> 07:16.490
It'll be one of the biggest 
choices you make in your life.

07:17.990 --> 07:19.820
Thanks, Akane.

07:22.670 --> 07:25.170
Haru-nii... m-my hands...

07:34.200 --> 07:35.590
Haru. Good morning.

07:35.960 --> 07:38.500
H-Hey, good morning.

07:39.690 --> 07:42.120
Kuro, how much do you remember?

07:42.120 --> 07:44.170
What's the last memory you have?

07:44.170 --> 07:46.430
Just before summer break started.

07:46.940 --> 07:51.210
I remember everything up to when 
I decided to confess to you.

07:51.210 --> 07:54.280
I watched the video, 
and I have no idea why I did that

07:54.280 --> 07:56.530
even though I know I love you.

07:56.860 --> 07:58.550
What do you think, Haru?

07:58.550 --> 08:02.000
Do you still like me, even after 
I did something so awful?

08:02.000 --> 08:04.000
D-Do I still...

08:04.440 --> 08:05.500
No.

08:07.210 --> 08:10.000
It's okay, Haru. You don't 
have to say any more.

08:10.000 --> 08:13.170
I know I hurt you really badly.

08:14.120 --> 08:15.000
I'm sorry.

08:15.660 --> 08:16.670
Kuro...

08:17.050 --> 08:19.310
But I want to make it up to you.

08:22.600 --> 08:25.100
Uh, sorry... I didn't mean to...

08:26.700 --> 08:28.390
So it's that bad.

08:30.040 --> 08:32.020
Never mind. It's nothing.

08:32.460 --> 08:35.090
I can still be close to you, right?

08:35.090 --> 08:37.270
Of course! Why are you even asking?

08:37.550 --> 08:41.310
I want to be someone you can trust again.

08:41.310 --> 08:42.940
It's not like that!

08:42.940 --> 08:45.880
I'm not trying to put any 
blame on you at all!

08:45.880 --> 08:49.750
I'm sure you just rejected me because 
I did something dumb again.

08:50.730 --> 08:51.690
Then...

08:52.650 --> 08:54.370
Let's start over, Haru.

08:54.540 --> 08:56.050
Start over?

08:56.050 --> 08:59.610
I think we just started buttoning 
up from the wrong hole.

08:59.880 --> 09:04.110
If we start over with the first buttonhole, 
we won't have any more problems.

09:04.390 --> 09:05.470
Am I wrong?

09:05.740 --> 09:07.340
No, you're not wrong.

09:07.850 --> 09:10.140
Kuro, I should be asking you.

09:10.140 --> 09:11.780
Please stay by my side.

09:11.780 --> 09:14.080
I know we'll get over this trauma!

09:15.460 --> 09:16.500
Thanks.

09:23.780 --> 09:24.700
Su-chan...

09:24.700 --> 09:26.790
H-Hey, Shiro. What's up?

09:32.010 --> 09:35.840
The press might be waiting for 
you in front of the school.

09:35.840 --> 09:38.220
Oh, but Shida-san will be fine, right?

09:39.540 --> 09:42.690
Shiro, you're way too unfriendly with Kuro.

09:42.950 --> 09:45.200
I'm not trying to force you to be friends,

09:45.200 --> 09:47.940
but it's not cool to try to leave her out.

09:49.310 --> 09:51.560
<i>I thought I was doing the right thing.</i>

09:51.810 --> 09:52.510
Hey...

09:53.170 --> 09:56.440
Shida-san left school early yesterday.

09:56.440 --> 09:57.530
Is she okay now?

09:58.870 --> 10:02.200
Actually, she seems to 
have a bit of amnesia.

10:02.600 --> 10:04.360
Amnesia?

10:05.400 --> 10:06.940
That's what's going on.

10:07.120 --> 10:08.280
Ahem!

10:08.280 --> 10:12.250
Haru, you seem to be pretty good 
friends with Kachi-san now.

10:12.250 --> 10:13.160
What's that about?

10:15.140 --> 10:17.250
You're curious about our relationship?

10:17.250 --> 10:19.260
Well, yes. Just a little.

10:21.570 --> 10:25.770
I don't think Shida-san has 
actually lost her memories.

10:25.770 --> 10:28.120
Huh? What're you basing that on?

10:28.120 --> 10:29.500
Girls' intuition.

10:31.970 --> 10:33.570
Shiro, leave this to me.

10:33.940 --> 10:35.730
I've got a great idea.

Aha!!

10:44.780 --> 10:46.040

10:45.160 --> 10:48.670
I'm really happy you invited me 
to have a private lunch with you.

10:48.870 --> 10:52.790
A-Actually, Kuro, I made a bento today.

10:53.400 --> 10:56.310
Midori told me your sense 
of taste had changed.

10:56.880 --> 10:58.410
Want to try a bite?

10:59.240 --> 11:01.350
Kuro once had a traumatic experience.

11:01.350 --> 11:04.640
Aw, octopus wieners! How cute!

11:06.940 --> 11:08.720
I can't!

11:09.200 --> 11:12.600
<i>So unless it's something bad 
enough to cause amnesia,</i>

11:12.600 --> 11:14.450
<i>her sense of taste shouldn't change.</i>

11:14.450 --> 11:19.260
<i>That is, there's no way she should
 be able to eat an octopus wiener!</i>

11:19.260 --> 11:20.660
Okay, I'll have one.

11:21.720 --> 11:25.110
I'm not sure why, but it 
looks really tasty today.

11:25.450 --> 11:27.700
Okay, feed me.

11:29.650 --> 11:32.710
Why did you say "feed me" 
without opening your mouth?

11:32.710 --> 11:35.270
Got a problem with what 
your big sister is doing?

11:35.660 --> 11:38.680
If I moved closer to you right now,
 you'd run, wouldn't you?

11:38.900 --> 11:41.480
Er, no... okay, yes, I would.

11:41.480 --> 11:44.310
Then what would happen if 
you moved closer to me?

11:44.310 --> 11:46.640
I get it. You flipped it around.

11:46.640 --> 11:50.100
So now that you get it, you can feed me.

11:50.100 --> 11:53.770
Again, why are you telling me to feed 
you and not opening your mouth?!

11:56.650 --> 12:00.010
I'm gonna be honest. You're so red,
 it's making <i>me</i> embarrassed.

12:02.530 --> 12:05.280
Jerk! Jerk! Jerk!

12:04.700 --> 12:08.150
Ow, ow, ow! Forgive me, Kuroha-oneechan!

12:11.870 --> 12:13.300
Open wide.

12:15.120 --> 12:17.410
If you'd just done that to begin with...

12:17.590 --> 12:19.760
Huh? Kuro, what'd you just say?

12:19.760 --> 12:23.430
Shut up! I didn't want 
you to hear me, anyway!

12:23.430 --> 12:27.680
O-Okay... fine, then.

12:28.210 --> 12:29.300
Here it comes.

12:35.170 --> 12:36.470
Mm, it's good!

12:36.790 --> 12:38.860
<i>She really does have amnesia.</i>

12:39.370 --> 12:43.370
By the way, is it true you're 
going back to your old agency?

12:43.370 --> 12:45.520
Oh, they told you about that?

12:45.520 --> 12:46.830
I almost forgot. Here.

12:47.070 --> 12:49.780
President and CEO

12:47.660 --> 12:49.780
The president of the agency saw that video

12:50.070 --> 12:52.210
and took an interest in you.

12:52.530 --> 12:54.710
He wants you to come by with me.

12:54.710 --> 12:55.670
You're going back?

12:56.260 --> 12:57.480
I still can't decide.

12:57.900 --> 13:00.620
So I figured I might as well go talk to him.

13:02.280 --> 13:04.370
Are you opposed to me going back?

13:04.590 --> 13:06.670
If I had to say one way or the other, I am.

13:06.670 --> 13:10.830
Because I've seen how much 
pain you've been through.

13:10.830 --> 13:13.990
But you did dance really well in that video.

13:14.620 --> 13:16.550
Thanks to you, Kuro.

13:16.550 --> 13:17.740
Me?

13:19.990 --> 13:23.810
<i>It was your advice that 
helped me make my comeback.</i>

13:24.290 --> 13:26.600
<i>Without that, I never 
could've pulled it off.</i>

13:27.460 --> 13:31.740
<i>And yet you don't even remember all that.</i>

13:31.740 --> 13:32.710
Haru?

13:37.470 --> 13:40.490
<i>I'm sad that you've lost your memories.</i>

13:44.910 --> 13:46.750
Thank you, Haru.

13:46.750 --> 13:49.090
Those tears are for me, aren't they?

13:49.380 --> 13:50.260
Kuro...

13:50.650 --> 13:52.760
Your big sister is so happy.

13:53.370 --> 13:56.620
Haru... I'll go to your agency with you.

13:56.970 --> 13:59.160
Are you interested in show business?

13:59.160 --> 14:03.510
No, but I want to see through 
whatever decision you make.

14:03.870 --> 14:04.800
Okay.

14:05.330 --> 14:06.920
Whoa, hold up!

14:06.920 --> 14:08.140
Let go of me!

14:08.540 --> 14:09.720
Kachi!

14:09.720 --> 14:10.630
Su-chan!

14:10.630 --> 14:12.380
Is it true you're debating going back?

14:12.630 --> 14:15.110
Wait, how do you know that when 
I only said it just now?!

14:16.120 --> 14:17.080
That.

14:17.350 --> 14:19.690
Kachi asked Rena to do it.

14:20.010 --> 14:20.800
The hell?

14:21.370 --> 14:22.800
You scare me, miss.

14:22.800 --> 14:24.690
Kai-kun, you told him.

14:24.690 --> 14:26.670
So what if I did? Huh?

14:26.850 --> 14:28.500
I hate you!

14:28.780 --> 14:31.870
You have no fear of making 
girls hate you, huh?

14:31.870 --> 14:34.770
Well, I don't care about 
girls who don't like me.

14:36.200 --> 14:39.360
There, Shiro. Can you 
be satisfied with that?

14:39.360 --> 14:40.400
Su-chan...

14:40.400 --> 14:42.930
Damn it, that hurt, Sueharu.

14:42.930 --> 14:46.530
What? It changed the subject, so you 
should be thanking me, Tetsuhiko.

14:46.730 --> 14:50.790
What did you say?! I just 
got punched for nothing!

14:47.540 --> 14:50.050
Why don't you bring your 
lunch in, too, Kachi-san?

14:50.050 --> 14:52.290
This is gonna take a while.

14:50.790 --> 14:52.480
You're the one who picked a fight!

14:52.490 --> 14:53.990
<b>"...20 Minutes Later"</b>

14:56.010 --> 15:01.830
Kachi, your goal is to get Sueharu to play 
the lead in a story you wrote, yeah?

15:01.830 --> 15:03.930
That's right. So what?

15:03.930 --> 15:07.160
So you're in favor of him returning 
to show business?

15:07.390 --> 15:08.940
Of course I am.

15:08.940 --> 15:11.480
I want to see Su-chan in action again.

15:11.480 --> 15:12.920
Aren't you contradicting yourself?

15:13.110 --> 15:16.640
Quit beating around the bush. 
What are you getting at?

15:16.640 --> 15:20.730
Huh... That's pretty sharp, for you.

15:21.360 --> 15:22.820
"Ultramarine Channel"?

15:22.810 --> 15:29.900
<b>"Ultramarine Channel"</b>

15:23.050 --> 15:26.860
I was thinking about what to do 
with the entertainment club,

15:26.860 --> 15:29.890
and this is one of the 
directions I want to take.

15:29.900 --> 15:33.410
<b>"Set up WeTube channel 'Ultramarine Channel'
 for the entertainment club"

"Post videos"

"Produce commercials, dramas, etc."</b>

15:30.130 --> 15:33.400
And the theme is... 
"we'll do whatever's fun"?

15:33.400 --> 15:36.720
So the entertainment club's 
gonna become WeTubers?

15:36.720 --> 15:40.230
That's one part of it, but not all.

15:40.670 --> 15:43.920
Are you planning to join some acting agency?

15:43.920 --> 15:46.060
If I do go back, that'll be the plan, yeah.

15:46.060 --> 15:49.600
If you get super busy with constant work,
 will you quit school?

15:50.540 --> 15:51.760
You see?

15:51.760 --> 15:55.880
Shouldn't you enjoy doing high school 
stuff while you're still in high school?

15:55.880 --> 15:57.120
That's all I was thinking.

15:57.560 --> 16:00.080
You can go into show business as an adult,

16:00.080 --> 16:01.870
but this is all the time 
you get in high school.

16:01.870 --> 16:02.920
True...

16:03.360 --> 16:04.350
And Kachi...

16:04.680 --> 16:08.040
If you want Sueharu to star 
in a story you wrote,

16:08.040 --> 16:10.460
you don't have to make it
 into a film or TV show.

16:10.460 --> 16:13.090
You can make it on our Ultramarine Channel.

16:13.400 --> 16:15.320
You're after my fame?

16:15.560 --> 16:18.100
Yep, there's that, of course.

16:18.100 --> 16:21.920
But more than that, we need someone 
who can plan and write stories.

16:21.920 --> 16:26.920
I get the feeling you're the only one 
who can bring out the best in Sueharu.

16:27.490 --> 16:28.620
Am I wrong?

16:28.850 --> 16:31.190
Just who do you think I am?

16:31.190 --> 16:35.590
There's no one who can bring out 
the best in Su-chan like I can.

16:35.590 --> 16:40.220
I feel like you're only telling us 
the most convenient parts of this.

16:40.700 --> 16:46.150
Frankly, talking about doing 
fun stuff together isn't you.

16:46.150 --> 16:48.600
There's a deeper reason 
for this, isn't there?

16:50.010 --> 16:53.930
Impressive, Shida-chan. 
I won't say there isn't one.

16:54.390 --> 16:57.530
But that doesn't mean everything 
I just said was a lie.

16:57.530 --> 16:58.910
I promise you that.

17:00.420 --> 17:02.360
We won't ask any more, then.

17:02.650 --> 17:03.830
Su-chan...

17:04.040 --> 17:07.900
Tetsuhiko won't tell us any more than 
he wants to anyway, even if we ask.

17:09.530 --> 17:14.190
And as much as I hate to admit it, 
this honestly sounds like fun to me.

17:14.190 --> 17:19.140
It feels like we're working day and night in 
some secret base to achieve world domination.

17:19.140 --> 17:20.590
It's exactly my kinda thing.

17:20.840 --> 17:24.340
So the first members would 
be me, you, and Shiro?

17:24.480 --> 17:26.990
No, Shida-chan's included, too.

17:29.050 --> 17:32.380
Tetsuhiko, let me take this plan home.

17:32.380 --> 17:36.490
After I talk to the agency, I'll decide 
whether to go back or do this with you.

17:36.490 --> 17:37.560
Deal?

17:37.560 --> 17:41.850
Sure, but in that case, Sueharu, 
take me to your agency with you.

17:41.850 --> 17:43.780
Huh? Why you?

17:45.930 --> 17:46.740
Please.

17:48.560 --> 17:51.070
Yeah, all right, all right.

17:51.070 --> 17:52.750
Just don't be in the way.

17:53.080 --> 17:56.080
I know. I'll just be 
tagging along this time.

17:56.370 --> 17:57.810
I want to go, too.

17:58.070 --> 18:01.310
I just want to be with you and 
hear what's being discussed.

18:01.310 --> 18:01.960
Can I?

18:02.220 --> 18:03.270
All right.

18:04.680 --> 18:08.140
<b>"Ultramarine Channel"</b>

18:05.040 --> 18:07.910
<i>Show business or everyday life...</i>

18:11.180 --> 18:15.160
<i>You were right, Akane. I have 
to look at this positively.</i>

18:18.770 --> 18:20.710
Hardy Pro...

18:20.710 --> 18:24.200
This is where you and I first met, too.

18:24.690 --> 18:26.150
What's your name?

18:26.570 --> 18:28.000
Die, jerk.

18:28.500 --> 18:32.790
You snapped at everyone and never tried 
to fit in. You were a real handful.

18:33.310 --> 18:35.550
But over time, I realized

18:35.550 --> 18:38.600
that the things you did to mess with 
me were unbelievably precise.

18:38.930 --> 18:42.440
It made me think, "Wait, maybe 
she's actually really talented?"

18:42.440 --> 18:45.880
From then on, your acting 
was the only thing I loved.

18:46.460 --> 18:49.130
<i>You were normally so boring,</i>

18:49.130 --> 18:51.600
<i>but when you were acting, you changed.</i>

18:51.870 --> 18:56.680
<i>Your talent was specialized 
for entertaining people.</i>

18:56.680 --> 18:59.010
<i>So I always thought,</i>

18:59.010 --> 19:01.800
<i>"His talent is so pure."</i>

19:02.540 --> 19:05.630
Make me believe in you, Sueharu-oniichan.

19:06.550 --> 19:07.650
Did you say something?

19:07.650 --> 19:09.350
No, nothing!

19:15.330 --> 19:17.540
Okay, we're all here.

19:17.540 --> 19:18.460
Let's go.

19:21.120 --> 19:24.310
Wow, Maru-chan in the flesh! Nice!

19:24.310 --> 19:27.140
You've got an aura to you! Oh, yeah!

19:27.140 --> 19:29.720
I don't know what it is, but I dig it.

19:29.720 --> 19:33.580
No, President, you're the 
one with the intense aura!

19:33.580 --> 19:36.350
You must be the personification of dandyism!

19:36.350 --> 19:37.080
Really?

19:37.080 --> 19:37.700
Haru...

19:37.700 --> 19:38.700
Su-chan...

19:38.860 --> 19:41.810
That's my Sueharu-oniichan! Well done!

19:44.420 --> 19:47.490
So what do you say, Maru-chan? 
Gonna make a comeback?

19:47.490 --> 19:48.850
You are, right?

19:48.850 --> 19:52.080
Well, actually... I'm having trouble deciding.

19:52.080 --> 19:53.700
I'd have to balance it with school.

19:53.700 --> 19:55.540
What are you talking about?

19:55.540 --> 19:57.710
This is the time to strike it rich!

19:57.710 --> 20:00.440
You shouldn't be worrying 
about going to school.

20:00.440 --> 20:01.470
Right?

20:01.470 --> 20:03.340
Well, I mean, uh...

20:04.260 --> 20:07.640
Shida-chan, you want to 
make your debut, right?

20:07.640 --> 20:08.770
Don't you?

20:08.770 --> 20:10.800
Um, about that...

20:10.800 --> 20:13.380
You're not going to tell 
me you don't, are you?

20:16.360 --> 20:19.810
Yes, I came here today to decline that offer.

20:23.190 --> 20:26.850
Shida-chan, if you debut 
with Maru-chan right now,

20:26.850 --> 20:28.880
you can make 100 million in three years.

20:30.110 --> 20:33.070
And Maru-chan, you could make 
300 million in three years.

20:33.070 --> 20:36.950
If all goes as I'm planning it, 
those amounts are entirely possible.

20:36.950 --> 20:38.120
Three hundred million...

20:38.750 --> 20:41.120
Tetsuhiko! If I make that much,

20:41.120 --> 20:44.040
I could ask Rena to do pervy stuff 
and she wouldn't blab, right?!

20:44.040 --> 20:47.740
The fact that your mind went there 
is so disgusting, even I'm shocked.

20:47.740 --> 20:48.600
Haru...

20:48.890 --> 20:50.140
Su-chan...

20:50.720 --> 20:55.640
Don't worry. I'll train you all 
over again from the inside out.

20:57.390 --> 21:03.200
Actually, I've got a big sponsor that 
wants Maru-chan to star in a commercial.

21:03.200 --> 21:05.460
They'll be dropping by here later.

21:05.460 --> 21:08.270
I'd like you to just meet 
them and say hello.

21:08.270 --> 21:12.950
And if you're also in the commercial, 
Shida-chan, it'll be even bigger news!

21:12.950 --> 21:16.630
You'll do it, right, Shida-chan? 
We're talking 100 million here.

21:16.630 --> 21:20.200
Well... I do appreciate the offer,

21:20.560 --> 21:21.560
but I'm sorry.

21:21.560 --> 21:23.900
Didn't you just say you appreciated it?

21:23.900 --> 21:26.040
Then what reason is there not to do it?

21:26.310 --> 21:29.330
I'm saying... Money is important,

21:29.330 --> 21:30.940
but my priorities are those close to—

21:30.940 --> 21:35.120
With money, you could make life 
easier for all those close to you.

21:35.120 --> 21:37.350
Don't you want to take good 
care of your parents?

21:37.350 --> 21:40.250
Of course I do, but...

21:40.250 --> 21:42.680
Then do it. Get into show business.

21:43.170 --> 21:44.010
Hey—

21:43.280 --> 21:45.830
As I've told you several times now,

21:45.830 --> 21:47.640
I came here today to decline—

21:47.640 --> 21:50.910
Shida-chan, you're no fun at all.

21:50.910 --> 21:53.000
Maybe your parents didn't raise you right?

22:06.370 --> 22:09.030
Don't you dare make fun 
of my childhood friend.
