00:00.360 --> 00:04.450
With money, you could make life 
easier for all those close to you.

00:04.450 --> 00:06.830
Don't you want to take good 
care of your parents?

00:06.830 --> 00:09.770
Of course I do, but...

00:09.770 --> 00:12.140
Then do it. Get into show business.

00:12.350 --> 00:13.420
Hey—

00:12.660 --> 00:15.200
As I've told you several times now,

00:15.200 --> 00:17.120
I came here today to decline—

00:17.120 --> 00:20.360
Shida-chan, you're no fun at all.

00:20.360 --> 00:22.460
Maybe your parents didn't raise you right?

00:35.820 --> 00:38.440
Don't you dare make fun 
of my childhood friend.

00:45.310 --> 00:48.800
Tch! I had a bad feeling when you 
showed up with all this trash.

00:48.800 --> 00:49.990
Guess I was right!

00:50.620 --> 00:51.930
Are you trash, too?!

00:54.670 --> 00:57.350
Yo, what the hell did you just say?!

00:57.350 --> 00:59.870
Wait... Tetsuhiko-kun! If you do that—

00:59.870 --> 01:01.400
Tetsuhiko, stop!

01:01.400 --> 01:03.130
Let go of me, Dumbharu!

01:03.130 --> 01:06.440
I'm not gonna let this asshole 
make fun of my friend!

01:06.440 --> 01:07.630
Tetsuhiko...

01:07.840 --> 01:09.320
Bunch of trash.

01:08.390 --> 01:09.620
Let go!

01:10.270 --> 01:11.230
Damn it!

01:11.230 --> 01:12.000
You can't!

01:12.450 --> 01:14.740
Hey, call the police.

01:14.740 --> 01:16.740
A little hoodlum's attacking me.

01:18.780 --> 01:21.200
What did you say? I'll be right there!

01:22.630 --> 01:25.190
All of you, stay right here!

01:26.440 --> 01:27.880
What do we do now?!

01:27.880 --> 01:29.710
I didn't hurt him.

01:29.710 --> 01:31.760
We're the only ones in here.

01:31.760 --> 01:34.020
We all just need to testify 
that nothing happened.

01:34.020 --> 01:35.510
And what about the wine?

01:35.510 --> 01:37.020
There's no missing that.

01:37.270 --> 01:41.370
Just say that moron tripped and 
dumped it all over his own head.

01:41.370 --> 01:42.590
Of course!

01:42.590 --> 01:45.410
This is the first time you've 
seemed so reliable to me!

01:45.680 --> 01:47.850
I'll testify that way, too.

01:47.850 --> 01:49.980
I mean, he's just too much.

01:49.980 --> 01:51.760
And if necessary, I'll—

01:51.760 --> 01:52.540
Hold it.

01:53.280 --> 01:55.520
Haru, as your big sister,

01:55.520 --> 01:59.490
I think making everyone lie about the 
wine I threw at him is going too far.

01:59.490 --> 02:00.590
Well, I guess...

02:00.590 --> 02:03.750
And the idea of going back 
into show business...

02:03.750 --> 02:05.910
It's gonna be tough now, huh?

02:05.910 --> 02:09.460
He'll probably go around spreading 
a lot of half-truths,

02:09.460 --> 02:12.070
which will make other agencies wary, too.

02:12.380 --> 02:14.170
Haru, you're such an idiot.

02:12.710 --> 02:14.170
What happened?

02:14.170 --> 02:17.570
Allow me to explain that.

02:20.400 --> 02:22.700
Well, you sure have grown up, Maru-chan.

02:22.700 --> 02:26.780
Remember me? I'm Kachi Souichirou 
of Kozuka Pharmaceuticals.

02:26.780 --> 02:29.610
Or maybe you'd remember 
me better as Shiro's dad?

02:30.620 --> 02:32.380
I-It's good to see you again!

02:32.380 --> 02:34.860
You're the one making the commercial?

02:34.860 --> 02:36.600
You're here, too, Shiro?

02:36.600 --> 02:38.080
And all of you?

02:38.740 --> 02:43.120
Could you explain what happened 
in a way that I can understand?

02:44.090 --> 02:49.060
Osamake: Romcom Where
The Childhood Friend Won't Lose

02:50.410 --> 02:53.010
I see. So that's what happened.

02:53.500 --> 02:56.130
Haru said what he said for my sake.

02:56.130 --> 02:58.700
So just call it my fault.

02:58.700 --> 02:59.670
Kuro...

03:00.500 --> 03:03.520
I know how you feel, 
but that's not the issue.

03:03.520 --> 03:05.210
You understand, don't you?

03:07.140 --> 03:11.610
I'm also convinced that Su-chan did 
the right thing as human being.

03:11.610 --> 03:15.670
So no matter what the law says,
 I'll back Su-chan.

03:15.670 --> 03:17.960
I know how you feel, too, but...

03:18.240 --> 03:22.320
Who decided that the only way 
to hurt someone is physically?

03:22.760 --> 03:24.840
Words are sharp blades, too.

03:25.200 --> 03:28.660
And he hurt all of us with his verbal blades.

03:28.660 --> 03:30.710
Su-chan was only protecting us.

03:32.360 --> 03:34.940
Considering all of your opinions together,

03:34.940 --> 03:38.110
my conviction compels me to 
support Sueharu-oniichan,

03:38.110 --> 03:40.500
so I would like this to 
be resolved peacefully.

03:40.500 --> 03:42.190
Would that be all right?

03:42.450 --> 03:45.510
But of course, Shun-san, 
you won't agree with that.

03:45.510 --> 03:46.630
Damn right I won't!

03:46.630 --> 03:48.540
I'm the victim here! Me!

03:49.290 --> 03:50.310
You're—

03:50.310 --> 03:51.490
Don't, Tetsuhiko.

03:51.860 --> 03:53.240
Well, then...

03:53.680 --> 03:56.220
Why don't we have a commercial contest?

03:57.460 --> 03:58.670
Uh... Momo?

03:58.940 --> 04:04.030
Shun-san, if you involve the police, 
Sueharu-oniichan won't join your agency, right?

04:04.030 --> 04:06.620
Which means, naturally, 
there'll be no profit for you.

04:06.620 --> 04:09.710
That isn't really what you want, is it?

04:10.130 --> 04:11.190
That's true.

04:11.600 --> 04:13.510
So here's my suggestion.

04:13.510 --> 04:15.000
We'll have a commercial contest.

04:15.000 --> 04:18.200
If you win, Sueharu-oniichan 
will join your agency

04:18.200 --> 04:20.930
and do whatever work you want him to.

04:20.930 --> 04:23.350
But if Sueharu-oniichan wins,

04:23.350 --> 04:25.650
you won't file a police report,

04:25.650 --> 04:27.720
and even if he tries to join another agency,

04:27.720 --> 04:30.120
you won't do anything to 
interfere with his decision.

04:30.120 --> 04:31.570
That works for you, right?

04:35.360 --> 04:37.340
Okay. That's fine.

04:37.530 --> 04:40.620
Sir, would you mind if we 
made two proposals for the commercial

04:40.620 --> 04:42.560
you wanted Sueharu-oniichan 
to do if he came back,

04:42.560 --> 04:46.650
one produced by the agency's side and 
one produced by Onii-chan's side?

04:46.650 --> 04:49.770
Sure. That itself should 
draw a lot of attention.

04:49.770 --> 04:53.250
What do you say, Sueharu-oniichan? 
Will you compete?

04:53.250 --> 04:54.060
Yeah, I'll do it.

04:54.500 --> 04:57.760
Then we'll set up a special site 
to post the two commercials on.

04:57.760 --> 04:59.660
The viewers will vote on them,

04:59.660 --> 05:02.810
and the one that gets the most 
votes wins. How does that sound?

05:03.000 --> 05:05.280
Haru won't stand a chance!

05:05.280 --> 05:07.070
Even he can't do all that by himself!

05:07.270 --> 05:10.940
Onii-chan told me earlier about 
the Ultramarine Channel.

05:10.940 --> 05:13.500
He said it was Tetsuhiko-san's idea.

05:13.500 --> 05:17.070
I think it sounds wonderful. 
Such a perfect teenage activity.

05:17.070 --> 05:18.830
I kind of admire that.

05:19.280 --> 05:24.940
Perhaps you could call the members of the 
Ultramarine Channel the "Ultramarine Alliance"?

05:24.940 --> 05:27.840
With these members, I think 
you'd stand a very good chance.

05:27.840 --> 05:38.440
<b>Commercial Contest Rules</b>

05:27.840 --> 05:38.440
<b>The original budget allotted for the</b>

05:27.840 --> 05:38.440
<b>commercial will be divided evenly between</b>

05:27.840 --> 05:38.440
<b>both production teams, and Kozuka Pharmaceuticals</b>

05:27.840 --> 05:38.440
<b>will create the site both commercials</b>

05:27.840 --> 05:38.440
<b>will be published on.</b>

05:28.930 --> 05:31.350
The contest will begin in one 
week and last three days.

05:31.350 --> 05:36.170
A shorter work period will prevent the 
agency from hiring a production team,

05:36.170 --> 05:38.450
putting both sides on more even footing.

05:38.740 --> 05:41.660
I'm willing to give them 
that much of a handicap.

05:41.660 --> 05:47.800
Sir, can we ask you to help Sueharu-oniichan's
 team get the staff they need?

05:47.800 --> 05:48.740
I'll arrange it.

05:49.000 --> 05:52.300
Now the conditions for both 
teams are basically equal.

05:52.300 --> 05:54.470
I just want to make sure of one thing.

05:54.470 --> 05:56.420
Will you be in our commercial, Momo?

05:56.420 --> 05:59.490
I want to show you how much 
I've grown in six years,

05:59.490 --> 06:02.130
so I'm planning to appear 
in Shun-san's commercial.

06:02.130 --> 06:05.420
Bu—I was really counting on your 
fame to give us a boost, though!

06:05.720 --> 06:08.440
My life depends on this! Please don't!

06:08.440 --> 06:09.420
Haru...

06:09.420 --> 06:10.470
Su-chan...

06:10.470 --> 06:13.300
Groveling is not what you should 
be doing after all this.

06:13.530 --> 06:15.270
I'll do my very best!

06:16.490 --> 06:18.440
How does that sound?

06:18.440 --> 06:19.270
Wait.

06:19.950 --> 06:22.430
There's one more condition I'd like to add.

06:25.010 --> 06:30.670
Momo, are you sure you didn't want to add the 
condition that you'd quit the agency if I won?

06:30.670 --> 06:31.320
Huh?

06:31.700 --> 06:34.070
You asked me to save you before.

06:34.320 --> 06:36.650
You meant from that president, didn't you?

06:36.960 --> 06:38.580
Thank you for mentioning that.

06:38.780 --> 06:41.140
I'll add that condition in secret later.

06:45.300 --> 06:48.190
The first round table meeting 
of the entertainment club,

06:45.630 --> 06:50.470
Sports Drink 
<b>AquaMine</b>

06:48.190 --> 06:50.470
A.K.A. Ultramarine Alliance, will now begin.

06:50.470 --> 07:01.980
<b>First Round-Table Meeting
 of the Ultramarine Alliance</b>

06:50.790 --> 06:53.010
Our topic is the commercial contest.

06:53.010 --> 06:57.070
The product being promoted is a sports 
drink to be released in the future.

06:57.070 --> 07:00.100
Kachi's dad has said he wants 
to sell it to young people,

07:00.100 --> 07:01.970
so we should keep it youthful.

07:02.350 --> 07:05.600
Kachi, can you let us in on 
your vision for this contest?

07:05.600 --> 07:08.470
You're psyched for the chance 
to realize your dream, right?

07:08.640 --> 07:12.640
If we can execute the plan,
 I was up all night thinking about,

07:13.250 --> 07:14.340
we can win.

07:14.990 --> 07:20.000
<b>Osamake: Romcom Where

07:14.990 --> 07:20.000

07:14.990 --> 07:20.000
Oh, really?

<i>I hated everything.</i>

07:24.890 --> 07:26.770
<i>Everything but my older sister.</i>

07:27.630 --> 07:30.210
I promise I'll protect you, Maria.

07:30.210 --> 07:31.640
Onee-chan...

07:32.240 --> 07:34.600
<i>When she graduated from middle school,</i>

07:34.600 --> 07:36.750
<i>the two of us ran away from home.</i>

07:37.610 --> 07:40.670
<i>Despite her excellent grades, 
my sister didn't go on to college.</i>

07:40.670 --> 07:43.600
<i>She put all her effort 
into working to raise me.</i>

07:44.430 --> 07:46.510
<i>I hated it.</i>

07:46.510 --> 07:49.060
<i>I hated everything in the 
world that made her suffer,</i>

07:49.480 --> 07:52.840
<i>and I hated my powerless 
self for holding her back.</i>

07:54.670 --> 07:59.040
<i>One day, I was scouted by the agency's
president at that time, Nina Hardy.</i>

07:59.310 --> 08:01.600
<i>I joined the agency, 
hoping it would make things</i>

08:01.600 --> 08:03.770
<i>at least a little bit easier for my sister.</i>

08:04.210 --> 08:06.860
<i>It was there that I met Sueharu-oniichan,</i>

08:06.860 --> 08:08.660
<i>my destined one.</i>

08:10.750 --> 08:13.460
You always look so timid.

08:13.460 --> 08:15.250
Is it fun to live like that?

08:15.710 --> 08:17.950
I'm not like you.

08:17.950 --> 08:21.030
I wasn't blessed with good 
fortune like you are!

08:21.030 --> 08:22.590
No matter what I do, it's...

08:22.920 --> 08:25.850
Is it really useless? Are you sure?

08:25.850 --> 08:28.020
When you haven't even put your 
full strength into it yet?

08:28.020 --> 08:30.070
You don't think you'll regret that?

08:30.550 --> 08:33.040
You don't have to tell me that!

08:33.040 --> 08:34.420
But... But...

08:34.420 --> 08:36.030
No buts!

08:36.270 --> 08:38.390
Ow!

08:40.060 --> 08:41.740
Give it all of your strength!

08:41.740 --> 08:43.530
You have talent!

08:43.800 --> 08:47.330
Plus, you're smarter than me, 
and you have better intuition.

08:47.330 --> 08:49.820
Of course, you can't top 
me in acting, though!

08:50.080 --> 08:51.840
R-Really?

08:52.340 --> 08:54.030
I guarantee it.

08:54.310 --> 08:55.810
So grow up.

08:59.280 --> 09:02.130
Okay. I'll try my best.

09:02.130 --> 09:04.560
I'll try hard enough to catch up to you.

09:04.560 --> 09:06.390
Will you wait for me until then?

09:06.800 --> 09:07.980
Of course I will.

09:08.970 --> 09:13.610
<i>Onii-chan's shining light

09:13.870 --> 09:16.240

09:16.810 --> 09:20.680
You're amazing, Onii-chan! You're a hero!

09:20.680 --> 09:23.330
There's no way you can give up acting!

09:23.530 --> 09:25.200
Onii-chan!

09:25.200 --> 09:27.840
Sueharu-oniichan!

09:28.790 --> 09:31.080
<i>Even when you're standing 
on a dazzling stage,</i>

09:31.080 --> 09:32.690
<i>it's lonely by yourself.</i>

09:33.060 --> 09:36.060
<i>I'm still within the darkness.</i>

09:39.260 --> 09:40.690
I'm home.

09:40.690 --> 09:42.230
Welcome back, Onee-chan.

09:42.230 --> 09:44.920
I brought home a meal from work.
 Let's eat it together.

09:44.920 --> 09:47.310
You don't need to work part-time, you know.

09:47.310 --> 09:49.870
You should enjoy your college life more.

09:49.870 --> 09:52.890
It's more than enough that you're 
helping me pay my tuition.

09:53.160 --> 09:55.310
The commercial contest is today, right?

09:55.310 --> 09:58.280
You told me not to watch your commercial,

09:58.280 --> 09:59.850
but I did anyway. Sorry.

09:59.850 --> 10:03.330
You shouldn't have watched it!
 It's too embarrassing!

10:05.860 --> 10:08.160
I liked it. It had a classic feel to it.

10:08.160 --> 10:09.880
Our side is more capable,

10:09.880 --> 10:14.900
so the idea was that a popular actress 
and high video quality should be enough.

10:14.900 --> 10:16.790
It's how the ruling class fights.

10:16.790 --> 10:21.140
Well, let's check out your beloved 
Sueharu-oniichan's video now.

10:21.140 --> 10:22.010
Wait!

10:22.250 --> 10:23.530
What is it?

10:26.840 --> 10:29.870
I'm okay. Go ahead, Onee-chan.

10:29.870 --> 10:30.900
All right.

10:31.150 --> 10:33.110
<b>Enjoy Your Youth!!</b>

10:31.150 --> 10:33.110
<b>AquaMine</b>

10:33.500 --> 10:35.540
<i>Ugh, I'm so bored.</i>

10:35.540 --> 10:38.190
<i>C'mon, Sueharu, how dumb can you be?</i>

10:38.190 --> 10:42.110
<i>You only get one life, and one 
shot at being a high schooler.</i>

10:42.110 --> 10:44.130
<i>What's the point if you don't enjoy it?</i>

10:44.130 --> 10:45.370
<i>I guess...</i>

10:45.370 --> 10:47.050
<i>But what should we do?</i>

10:47.790 --> 10:50.860
<i>If what you're doing isn't 
fun, then <i>make</i> it fun.</i>

10:51.290 --> 10:52.480
<i>That's it!</i>

10:55.250 --> 10:57.550
<b>Ultramarine Alliance</b>

11:10.560 --> 11:15.310
<b>Ultramarine Alliance</b>

11:21.040 --> 11:22.540
<i>Yahoo!</i>

11:22.540 --> 11:24.610
<i>We've finally got a club room!</i>

11:25.000 --> 11:27.360
<i>Hey, Su-chan! Tone it down a little!</i>

11:27.360 --> 11:29.770
<i>Jeez, Haru, you're such a handful.</i>

11:30.040 --> 11:32.970
<i>As of this moment, we of 
the Ultramarine Alliance</i>

11:32.970 --> 11:35.780
<i>announce the opening of 
the Ultramarine Channel!</i>

11:36.210 --> 11:39.170
<i>We're gonna let the whole world know that</i>

11:39.170 --> 11:40.970
<i>we're having more fun than anyone else!</i>

11:42.400 --> 11:44.720
<i>Yahoo!</i>

11:45.840 --> 11:47.560
<i>Enjoy your youth!</i>

<b>AquaMine</b>

11:47.560 --> 11:48.990
<i>AquaMine!</i>

11:51.810 --> 11:54.510
Maybe they hyped up 
Shirokusa-san too much.

11:54.510 --> 11:56.260
What, you didn't like it?

11:56.260 --> 11:58.420
I thought it was fun.

11:58.420 --> 12:01.540
It was good, especially Sueharu-oniichan.

12:01.920 --> 12:04.870
I'm glad I didn't end up disappointed.

12:04.870 --> 12:06.150
Maria...

12:06.820 --> 12:10.060
I understand their goal of getting the 
Ultramarine Channel's name out there.

12:10.060 --> 12:11.030
But...

12:11.030 --> 12:12.110
But?

12:12.110 --> 12:13.900
That took away its focus.

12:13.900 --> 12:15.680
It's a commercial for AquaMine,

12:15.680 --> 12:18.500
but the Ultramarine Channel is what 
makes the biggest impression.

12:18.500 --> 12:20.400
They got their priorities mixed up.

12:20.400 --> 12:22.770
I'm pretty sure we're going to win.

12:23.160 --> 12:25.600
Speaking of making an impression...

12:25.600 --> 12:28.180
What was that last smile all about?

12:35.160 --> 12:37.070
<i>Hey, what's up, Momo?</i>

12:37.810 --> 12:40.650
Sueharu-oniichan, where are you right now?

12:41.080 --> 12:42.040
<i>Me?</i>

12:42.720 --> 12:43.710
<i>That's a secret.</i>

12:43.710 --> 12:44.880
<i>Hey, Sueharu.</i>

12:44.880 --> 12:48.290
<i>Ma-chan-san says we gotta nail it 
in one or we won't make it in time.</i>

12:48.290 --> 12:51.480
<i>Oh, sorry, Momo. I'm kinda busy,
 so I gotta go.</i>

12:51.480 --> 12:52.450
W-Wait—

12:52.450 --> 12:55.270
<i>Oh, yeah. You've grown into a great actor.</i>

12:55.270 --> 12:57.290
You watched the commercial?

12:57.290 --> 13:00.170
<i>After seeing that, I can't let myself lose.</i>

13:00.170 --> 13:02.560
You still won't admit defeat?

13:02.560 --> 13:06.070
<i>No way. I'll show you everything 
I've got right now.</i>

13:09.100 --> 13:10.410
Onii-chan...

13:11.760 --> 13:13.180
Who was that on the phone?

13:13.930 --> 13:16.770
The contest isn't over yet.

13:16.950 --> 13:17.790
Huh?

13:21.620 --> 13:24.620
Sueharu-oniichan is back.

13:30.040 --> 13:33.380
Kuro, Shiro... you okay?

13:33.380 --> 13:34.310
Yeah.

13:34.310 --> 13:35.920
I'm nervous,

13:35.920 --> 13:38.010
but more than that, I'm excited.

13:38.630 --> 13:42.360
I never even dreamed that I'd 
be able to act alongside you.

13:42.360 --> 13:43.310
Okay.

13:45.720 --> 13:47.090
We're starting!

13:48.990 --> 13:50.120
Action!

15:08.080 --> 15:10.690
This is a continuation of 
the commercial, isn't it?

15:10.690 --> 15:12.860
They were trying to make the casual,

15:12.860 --> 15:15.600
everyday theme of the commercial 
feel more precious?

15:15.600 --> 15:18.620
Sueharu-kun is just too amazing.

15:18.620 --> 15:20.300
My heart's actually pounding.

15:20.740 --> 15:23.780
I can't make up a difference like this.

15:24.650 --> 15:25.840
I...

15:27.320 --> 15:30.010
can still chase after him.

15:30.010 --> 15:33.300
I'm not lonely anymore. I'm not alone.

15:33.300 --> 15:37.790
Because Sueharu-oniichan is 
waiting at the end of my path.

15:38.660 --> 15:41.160
Maria, I'm happy for you.

15:41.680 --> 15:42.650
Yeah.

15:46.100 --> 15:47.920
Cheers!

15:49.060 --> 15:52.760
Our commercial won easily, 
with more than twice the votes.

15:53.110 --> 15:56.030
That's so good! Carbs for the win!

15:56.030 --> 15:59.100
Glad to hear it, Su-chan. 
You haven't eaten for all this time.

15:59.580 --> 16:01.540
You shouldn't wolf it down, though.

16:01.540 --> 16:03.730
You're making your big sister worry a bit.

16:03.730 --> 16:06.420
Hey, he had to lose all that 
weight for the shoot.

16:06.420 --> 16:07.850
Let him eat all he wants.

16:07.860 --> 16:15.740
<b>Commercial Contest</b>

16:07.860 --> 16:15.740
<b>Suggestion from Shirokusa-sama</b>

16:07.860 --> 16:15.740
<b>\h\h\h\h\hWhile this contest is not intended to obstruct the work of those 
appearing in it, promotion of this commercial at work is prohibited</b>

16:08.670 --> 16:10.970
You really are a pro, huh?

16:10.970 --> 16:14.030
The Ultramarine Alliance is 
about having fun, right?

16:14.030 --> 16:15.740
Giving it your all is what makes it fun.

16:16.030 --> 16:17.580
How dumb are you, man?

16:17.580 --> 16:19.360
I don't wanna hear that from you.

16:26.710 --> 16:30.590
Kai-kun, my dad says he's done 
talking to the principal,

16:30.590 --> 16:31.870
and he's waiting at the gate.

16:35.460 --> 16:39.300
This is the course of action I came 
up with for the Ultramarine Alliance.

16:39.600 --> 16:40.600
Got it.

16:42.150 --> 16:43.240
Oh, right.

16:43.240 --> 16:45.730
I took the liberty of looking
 into your background.

16:46.630 --> 16:48.860
This is why I hate rich people.

16:49.080 --> 16:52.710
Are you trying to use the Ultramarine 
Alliance as a tool to get revenge

16:52.710 --> 16:55.830
against Hardy Shun, your father?

16:56.590 --> 16:58.810
Did you approach Maru-chan because

16:58.810 --> 17:03.590
he was the top star at the agency your 
despised father is connected to?

17:07.140 --> 17:10.710
Well, the Ultramarine Alliance 
will be counting on your support.

17:10.710 --> 17:13.460
I'll take care of all the legal matters.

17:13.460 --> 17:14.900
See you next time.

17:17.300 --> 17:19.130
This is why I hate adults.

17:19.130 --> 17:21.360
I think I hate adults, too.

17:22.510 --> 17:25.070
I'm sorry. Who are you?

17:25.070 --> 17:26.640
Strangers are scary.

17:26.850 --> 17:29.350
I was working on this 
behind the scenes, too,

17:29.350 --> 17:31.030
so I wanted to know how it ended.

17:31.030 --> 17:31.980
You were?

17:32.250 --> 17:34.950
If Hardy Shun were to try anything,

17:34.950 --> 17:37.560
I was to ask my dad to save you.

17:34.990 --> 17:39.370
His father is a major player in show business

17:34.990 --> 17:39.370
<b>Abe Hajime</b>

17:37.560 --> 17:40.000
What the hell would you 
stand to gain from that?

17:40.000 --> 17:43.190
Well, I want to see even 
more of Maru-kun in action.

17:43.420 --> 17:45.970
And? What did you want to know?

17:45.970 --> 17:48.420
The win and loss records 
of your principal members.

17:48.420 --> 17:49.930
It can be from your own perspective.

17:50.190 --> 17:52.010
And what's your judgment?

17:52.010 --> 17:55.240
Total victory for Maru-kun 
and Shirokusa-chan, I think.

17:55.240 --> 17:57.560
It boosted both of their 
reputations in the industry.

17:57.950 --> 18:01.320
It's guaranteed that the scumbag 
president is the only loser here.

18:01.320 --> 18:04.520
But I think the top winner was Shida-chan,

18:04.520 --> 18:05.920
with me in second.

18:05.920 --> 18:08.040
Shida-san was the top winner?

18:10.030 --> 18:13.600
I don't want Haru to go into show business.

18:13.600 --> 18:16.340
If you're going to take someone's side,

18:16.340 --> 18:18.620
it's sure to be the most profitable one.

18:19.070 --> 18:22.970
And this time, taking my side 
will best serve your purpose.

18:22.970 --> 18:23.950
Am I wrong?

18:23.950 --> 18:26.530
You really do have a good eye.

18:26.530 --> 18:29.860
I want to get Sueharu to 
take part in my plan,

18:29.860 --> 18:32.550
so I'll be taking your side in this.

18:33.010 --> 18:35.720
I don't want our goals to end up clashing,

18:35.720 --> 18:37.400
so let me ask this first.

18:38.020 --> 18:40.050
What <i>is</i> your goal?

18:41.800 --> 18:45.790
You're someone who's opposed 
to show business, right?

18:46.150 --> 18:51.060
I've been thinking that must be 
why you're friends with Haru.

18:51.520 --> 18:52.910
What makes you think that?

18:55.250 --> 18:57.950
Just a hunch after seeing 
the way you've acted.

18:59.030 --> 19:02.100
If you've figured out that much, 
I guess I can tell you a little.

19:02.820 --> 19:05.390
The president of Sueharu's 
agency is a scumbag.

19:05.770 --> 19:07.890
I kinda have a connection to him.

19:08.330 --> 19:09.170
That's it.

19:11.260 --> 19:14.070
I'm going to pretend I have amnesia.

19:14.290 --> 19:15.240
Huh?

19:15.500 --> 19:18.590
It's cowardly, but I think 
it's the best option.

19:19.170 --> 19:23.340
If I have amnesia, Haru will try to help me.

19:23.340 --> 19:25.810
Then, if I take my time 
getting closer to him,

19:25.810 --> 19:26.960
I can erase his trauma.

19:27.660 --> 19:29.300
You think you can do that?

19:29.590 --> 19:31.550
It's not about whether I can or can't.

19:31.550 --> 19:32.390
I'm going to.

19:32.830 --> 19:35.710
If Haru goes to meet with 
that agency president,

19:35.710 --> 19:37.500
I plan to go with him.

19:37.820 --> 19:39.640
Haru hates it when people are 
mean to those close to him

19:39.640 --> 19:41.920
even more than when they're mean to him,

19:41.920 --> 19:45.330
so if the president is a 
scumbag like you say,

19:45.330 --> 19:47.270
he's bound to say some nasty things.

19:47.270 --> 19:49.480
If that happens, his return to 
acting is dead in the water.

19:50.050 --> 19:55.500
Sueharu was so scared of Shida-chan, 
but suddenly he's back to normal.

19:55.500 --> 19:58.920
Kachi had a huge advantage, 
but now they're both even.

19:59.300 --> 20:02.560
No matter how you look at it, 
Shida-chan's the winner.

20:02.560 --> 20:03.760
True.

20:03.760 --> 20:07.570
And I don't need to explain 
why I'm second, right?

20:07.570 --> 20:10.290
Just look at how the Ultramarine 
Alliance came together.

20:10.290 --> 20:12.700
I will say that you did a great job there.

20:13.130 --> 20:15.960
And there's one more who 
won big in all this.

20:17.290 --> 20:18.650
So anyway,

20:18.650 --> 20:22.120
I'm Momosaka Maria, and I've just 
transferred to this school.

20:22.120 --> 20:23.740
I'm glad to meet you!

20:23.740 --> 20:25.190
What?!

20:25.400 --> 20:27.230
What's the meaning of this, Su-chan?!

20:27.230 --> 20:28.900
Haru, explain!

20:28.900 --> 20:32.680
Sueharu-oniichan said he wanted me here.

20:32.680 --> 20:35.210
No, no! Momo asked me to save her!

20:35.210 --> 20:37.480
She wanted to be rescued 
from that president!

20:37.480 --> 20:38.760
No, I didn't.

20:39.640 --> 20:42.640
Although I did get along 
poorly with Shun-san,

20:42.640 --> 20:45.310
so it's true that the timing was perfect.

20:45.310 --> 20:47.160
Huh? Wait, what are you saying?

20:48.540 --> 20:51.100
I was just starved for love!

20:51.710 --> 20:54.130
So I used quitting the 
agency as an opportunity

20:54.130 --> 20:57.350
to rely on you to get me 
transferred into this school!

20:57.870 --> 21:02.670
I hardly got to attend school at all while 
I was acting, so I'm really excited!

21:03.420 --> 21:06.100
Let's continue to be good friends, okay,

21:06.320 --> 21:07.660
Senpai?

21:09.130 --> 21:10.470
Huh?!

21:11.370 --> 21:13.710
Oops! Forgot I had something to do...

21:14.070 --> 21:15.220
Su-chan!

21:15.220 --> 21:16.620
Stop right there!

21:19.010 --> 21:20.700
If you want Paisen, he's over there.

21:20.700 --> 21:21.620
Thanks!

21:21.840 --> 21:23.200
All good, Paisen.

21:24.730 --> 21:26.330
You saved my skin, Rena.

21:26.330 --> 21:28.860
For an older kid, you're a 
real handful, you know that?

21:32.680 --> 21:36.360
By the way, Paisen, why are you 
friends with Tetsu-senpai?

21:36.360 --> 21:37.680
All you guys do is fight.

21:37.680 --> 21:39.540
Huh? Oh...

21:39.540 --> 21:42.990
Well, when most people find 
out I was a child actor,

21:42.990 --> 21:45.070
they expect me to do something for them.

21:45.340 --> 21:46.730
But Tetsuhiko...

21:47.390 --> 21:50.030
He's the only one who tries 
to do stuff <i>with</i> me.

21:50.030 --> 21:53.130
Basically, he stands beside me.

21:53.560 --> 21:55.820
That's why we're friends.

21:56.740 --> 22:00.340
You and Tetsu-senpai are kind of alike, huh?

22:00.340 --> 22:03.590
Don't say he and I are alike,
 even as a joke!

22:03.590 --> 22:05.070
That actually hurts!

22:05.070 --> 22:06.880
Wow, you're a pain.

22:06.880 --> 22:08.180
Found you, Haru!

22:08.180 --> 22:08.960
Kuro!

22:21.930 --> 22:25.050
Haru, dinner tonight is 
Hamburg steaks, apparently.

22:25.260 --> 22:27.430
That's your favorite, right? Aren't you lucky?

22:27.430 --> 22:29.420
Seriously? I want some!

22:33.800 --> 22:37.030
Oh, and she says I'm getting 
corn soup with watermelon!

22:37.030 --> 22:38.470
Yay! My favorite!

22:38.470 --> 22:39.200
Huh?

22:39.770 --> 22:41.830
Kuro, your sense of taste is back?

22:41.830 --> 22:44.180
Huh? Oh... Oh, yeah!

22:44.180 --> 22:46.160
My sense of taste changed, didn't it?

22:46.160 --> 22:48.950
That's been my favorite for a long time,
 so I was involuntarily happy.

22:48.950 --> 22:50.840
Whoopsie.

22:50.840 --> 22:53.020
What the heck, Kuro? You're such a klutz.

22:53.550 --> 22:57.290
I'm still a whole lot less 
klutzy than you are.

22:57.790 --> 23:00.230
Yes, yes, you're right.

23:00.460 --> 23:04.720
You made a ton of careless 
mistakes on the last quiz.

23:04.720 --> 23:06.830
Aren't your grades kind of in danger?

23:08.390 --> 23:11.150
And yours have stayed near 
the top this whole time.

23:11.150 --> 23:12.430
It's amazing.

23:12.430 --> 23:14.230
It's a difference in effort.

23:14.230 --> 23:17.130
You were always sleeping 
through our summer classes.

23:17.130 --> 23:18.390
I saw you.

23:18.930 --> 23:20.390
Huh? Kuro...

23:20.800 --> 23:24.910
How can you remember our summer 
classes if you have amnesia?

23:36.090 --> 23:37.730
Kuro!
