Original subtitles

You can go on ahead.

I can wait.

You don't have to wait for me every time.

Well then, see you tomorrow.

Is Kazama on duty again today?

Yeah.

She sure acts serious, even with boobies like those...

Library committee or not, it'd be fine for her to skip once in a while!

No it wouldn't. And her boobs have nothing to do with it.

Well, see ya.

Someday, that sky we looked at together

will gently melt within my heart

The letter written in the white notebook

remains unsent

For if I spoke those closed-up words,

we couldn't go back

That sky we always looked at together

was so clear and blue it seemed almost sorrowful

So... why are we all studying at my house?

We're not studying!

This is a planning session for establishing the Girls Club!

You're still not gonna give up on it?

What do you mean by "give up?"

It's been rejected by the teacher, hasn't it?

Honestly! Our teacher's lack of support is shocking.

It only serves as proof of the gradual deterioration of the public school system.

I think it was a wise decision, though.

Even now, I still don't get what the club is for.

A situation like this requires a long-term plan.

Hey, are you even listening?

It's fine! Since you're done studying, we can bug you a little, right?

So you're aware that you're bugging me?

That's even worse...

Miss Sumika, I've brought some tea and sweets for your friends.

Thanks.

Are you Murasame's mother?

No, she's our live-in housekeeper.

My name is Noe Hayasumi.

I'm Tomoe Hachisuka.

And I'm Miyako Taema!

Thank you for taking care of Miss Sumika.

I've been like a mother to Miss Sumika ever since she was little...

Giving her my own milk and changing her diapers...

In fact, I've been caring for her as if she were my own daughter!

Because of that, she sometimes still can't sleep unless we're cuddled up!

Cuddled up?

Mama, you're so soft!

Oh my.

You're a pampered child, Murasame!

I am not!

And you! You've only been working here for three years!

Oh, but I have proof right here!

That's a fake!

I'm borrowing your dictionary.

Gah! Don't touch the stuff on my desk!

It's fine! We're friends, right?

Who's friends with you?!

Found a picture!

Hey!

Why don't I draw a nice mustache on it?

Knock it off!

Get outta my house!

Just pretend we're not here.

These are good!

Don't eat them all yourself!

I have a whole photo album here!

It's all fake!

A study session? At my house?

Yeah. For some reason, Murasame forbade us from going to her place anymore.

How troublesome.

Oh, look who's talking.

I am!

And besides, you don't know the situation at Kazama's house!

It's fine, but...

It's just a bit cramped.

You sure? What about your brother's work?

He's taking a break from it right now, so it's okay.

Say, Sumi. The thing is...

Akemi isn't here anymore!

I already asked the teacher, but she said we never had anyone like that!

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen her around either.

Well, who knows? She might be... closer than you think...

What an old apartment building.

What's up with this place?!

There are books everywhere!

They're all my brother's.

I'm surprised your parents don't flip out over this.

Our parents... aren't here.

For real? How come?

Miyako! Mind your manners!

Sowwy.

It's Kazama you should apologize to.

She isn't just an idiot like I thought.

That aside...

Beyond those very doors, Kazama is... ch... changing!

What are you envisioning?

Don't you get to see her change during P.E. anyway?

Yeah, but you must admit the atmosphere is different here.

Quit trying to read my mind!

For the Formation of the Girls Club!!

For starters, finding an adviser for the group is an imperative!

Forget what I said earlier. She's an idiot.

Anyway, don't you have your own room?

Studying at the dinner table is so elementary school!

I do, but...

Just throw them out. Seriously.

Why don't you have a used books seller come and cart them off for you?

I couldn't do that! Half of these are mine!

Norio

One week business trip

starting next Tuesday.

(Company)

You really are siblings!

C'mon! Right here!

MUSTACHE!

HALT!

Must... draw... mustache!

How dare you... stop right this—

Yes? Oh, big brother?

I just have some friends over.

Okay. Dinner by 7:00, okay?

Your brother's coming home?

I'll have to prepare dinner now. You all go on ahead.

Let me help you.

No, it's fine!

I insist.

Tomoe is a great cook, you know.

That's news to me.

And she looks good in an apron to boot!

If it comes to looking sexy in an apron, Kazama could beat her any day!

Oh, my honey!

Darling!

On days when I'm the only one over here, it feels like we're newlyweds!

Sumi, which would you like first? Dinner? A bath?

Or...

Me...?

Oh God, please let same-sex marriage pass!

I see. So that's why you get that weird, hungry look in your eyes sometimes.

I told you to stop trying to read my mind!

Well, you know, I understand how you feel.

I also...

Miyako, I'm home!

Welcome home!

Would you like dinner? Or a bath? Or...

Me...?

All of them!

Oh, come on!

Hey! You two had better be studying properly!

W-What are you wearing?!

My apron's in the wash right now.

Well, these aren't really something you'd find in any given home.

My brother brings them home from work.

There's lots of others, too!

What does he do for a living?

With different designs and colors...

He writes for a magazine or something.

I have some in your size too, Sumi. Wanna try one on?

No. That's fine...

Must be because you can't cook, right?

Of course a feminine thing like cooking would be impossible for you!

Aren't I right, Violent Sword Murasame?

The same to you! You may be quite feminine compared to me,

but you're the type who leaves all the real work up to your partner, aren't you?

One rule: you have thirty minutes to create one dish!

The judges?

Our partners, who will perform a blindfolded taste test!

About... dinner...

How troublesome.

The loser becomes the winner's dog!

Ha! Prepare to be put on a leash, you little mutt!

IT'S ON!

That's Miss Kazama's apartment...

Oh, Miss Sumika. You really are hopeless at doing feminine things...

It just adds to your cuteness, though.

A dish that explodes when you mess it up...

Who could have created such a thing?

You have, apparently.

I'm so sorry, Kazama. Your books...

It's all right.

As long as they're still readable, my brother won't care.

But they'll get moldy if we just leave them like that.

It's all my fault! All because I'm no good at cooking!

You sure bought a lot of stuff.

Just what were you planning to cook, exactly?

That's it! Why don't you all stay for dinner?

We have plenty of ingredients here,

and Sumi and Miyako could help with the easy tasks, right?

Let's cook and eat it together!

It'll be fun and delicious!

You're probably right.

But I don't wanna touch any yucky fish!

Don't worry, I'll teach you everything you'll need to know!

Isn't that right, Sumi?

I...

I'm leaving!

Sumi!

You mustn't run away.

For us girls, like a famous scholar once said...

...there are times when you have to do disgusting things.

Someday...

K-K-K-K-Kazama?!

Disgusting things or not, I don't plan on getting married anyway!

Stop whining like a little kid!

What a pain.

Kazama, can I have a minute?

Sumi.

I...

...really want to eat your cooking...

Leave it to me!

That's quite the comeback.

I see, Sumi is weak against spoiled children!

Even though she has boyish parts!

Actually, it seems to have the opposite effect. Sorry, Murasame.

You cut yourself?

It's nothing, don't worry about it.

But it's bleeding!

Kazama...

I can guess what she's thinking.

No doubt about it, Murasame is a man at heart.

I told you to quit trying to read my mind!

Here we go!

That stings!

Cover 1: "The Little Witch and the Forest Wonderland" - Just For Kids Cover 2: Masaya Orino's Twilight Camellias, My Emotions: "To My Beloved Elder Sister's Heart" - The newest installment in the popular series!! Come, shall we weave the story of our love? Cover 3: "Battle to the Death with an Otaku"

Excuse me, may I?

Oh, sorry.

Thanks.

Hello?

Yeah, I'm on my way home from the bookstore now.

It's research!

It's just something I do as a source of income.

Though, I'd like to become a full-time novelist soon.

But... well... it seems there are people who do read my books...

My little sister?

All's very well.

She's busy with schoolwork, but still helps me out around the house.

I've been inspired by her.

She's been through a lot, no thanks to me.

Right now she's got some great friends, and is enjoying her everyday life.

Yes. Talk to you later, then.

My brother's back!

Oh, dear me.

My deepest apologies.

These are great!

Good thing I bought a lot.

But when you said you had friends over, I thought she'd be here too.

She?

Yo! My club activities are done, so here I am!

Maid café?

You're late, Master!

See you again soon!

I'd expect that kind of generosity from Kazama's brother.

So you were all cooking?

I wish I ditched practice and came with you guys...

Are you good at cooking, Torioi?

I'm amazing!

At eating, I bet.

Maybe I should have Noe teach me.

Good idea! Quickly, before your cooking claims any more victims!

I don't wanna hear that from you!

You guys are two of a kind!

Like hell we are!

Ushio!

Well, see you guys tomorrow!

She has potential.

If only we could get her out of the brass band and into the Girls Club.

Give it up. Kiyori is straight.

And anyway, does it really have to be a club?

Couldn't we just hang out normally like today?

What are you saying?!

Clubs are a high school student's life!

Yeah, whatever. You're an idiot, after all.

We're grateful, though.

Because we've always been like this,

there haven't been many people we could consider friends.

It's good to be alone with your girlfriend,

but when it comes to friends, it's more fun when you have more.

That's why we had so much fun today.

Thank you.

I'll you see in my dreams, Murasame.

Why don't you just tell her already?

She's an idiot, so after she turns you down, she'll forget all about it!

What the hell?!

Bye!

I'm home.

Welcome back, Miss Sumika.

Noe, could you teach me how to cook?

Friends, huh?

Well, it's true that...

I had a lot of fun today, too.

In slow motion,

I remember the school building's shadow

Basking in the light of the setting sun,

we laughed together

Neither of us has changed since then

Even though we've grown taller

Ah, so that's why the scenery looks different now?

Although it's not in the same pocket,

we keep the same treasures there

Let's share every joy and sorrow,

all the times we've laughed and cried

We're together,

even if we're walking down different paths

Yeah, school is fun.

Next Time - A Night For Two

S-See you next week!
