Original subtitles

So listen...

We heard already.

Yeah, five times at least.

No, that's not what I mean.

I wanna know what you think about it!

There, take that!

Ack! Hey!

Yo...

What?! That's cheating!

Ha, loser!

Hello?

Again! One more time!

I'll beat you to a pulp.

C'mon, you two.

Seriously.

Wait!

Niko-san, Hatsuka-san?

A guy and girl together,

playing video games, of all things?

What are you, ten?

What do you care?

And who said you could come in, huh?

We want to borrow Yamori-kun for a bit.

Huh?!

No way, are you kidding?

Why would I let you do that?

You actually have to ask?

Did you friggin' forget why you two can afford

to enjoy yourselves like this?

Oh come on, Niko-chan, language.

Hatsuka, didn't you go out of your way

to help them, too?

Well, sure.

Yeah, see?

I figure you owe us pretty big,

if you know what's good for you.

Promise you'll give him back?

Okay!

Huh?!

See you later.

Later? Why?

Come hang out with me.

There's something I want to talk about, too.

Well, I don't, okay?

Like, about Yamori-kun.

Come on!

So yeah, long story short...

Here's to the first ever gathering to

cheer on Yamori-kun's love life!

Yeah!

So? How are things, actually?

What do you mean?

With Nazuna, of course!

How's that going?

Nothing worth mentioning, really.

C'mon, Yamori-kun, chill.

All of us here just wanna root for you two.

I'm grateful to you too, personally.

Yeah, that's right.

You don't have to be so wary.

I'm sure we can help you out.

I mean, whether Nazuna will be able

to turn you or not hinges on that issue.

Wow, okay...

I'm sorry!

I should have known.

Nah, it's okay.

As long as you understand.

But what we really want...

...are the deets!

All the juicy stuff...

...on teenage love.

So friggin' much!

You know, I just assumed you all wanted to get

some juicy gossip out of me to drink to.

He's totally onto us!

I mean, I hate when people do that

more than anything.

I'm sorry, Yamori-kun.

Hatsuka-sama!

We're so sorry to keep you waiting!

Hey, it's fine.

What the heck?

You want to talk about Yamori-kun, right?

That's why you didn't go after them.

H-how?

By that you mean,

"How could you tell?"

Am I right?

What?!

No, you're not.

I heard.

That you've decided you're actually

going to turn Yamori-kun.

That can only mean one thing.

You want advice on how to

make him fall for you, don't you?

Well, yeah.

In that case...

So how about it?

Do you think you might fall in love with Nazuna?

Well, I mentioned this before,

but I just don't get what it's like to fall in love.

Okay...

Did you ever have like, a first crush or...

Nope, not yet.

Not yet, huh?!

For real?!

Does that mean your first love is gonna turn you?

Oh my, that's something.

Man, what a great way to drink booze.

Tell me about it.

Huh?

Are you using me for entertainment?

Don't be silly.

We just want to help.

All of us!

How dare you doubt our sincerity?!

Even if it's not love, you do think

she's cute sometimes, right?

Tell us, what about Nazuna-chan do you find cute?

I think her face is pretty cute!

Okay, not the answer I was hoping for.

Do you tell her that?

What?

She won't know unless you actually tell her.

Huh?

Obviously.

Start by saying she's cute at least once a day.

What?!

I dunno about that...

Wait, what?

Are you embarrassed?!

Yamori-kun's blushing!

This is rare.

Like, super rare!

Aww, embrace the adolescence!

So you actually have emotions.

Okay, so what's with this getup?

People fall for the unexpected.

Listen, your usual fashion style isn't bad.

There's definite demand for that kind of look.

Uh-huh...

But the thing is, it's too risque for a

susceptible teenager like Yamori-kun.

Once you take your coat off,

you're practically in your underwear.

How's that okay?

But it's easy to move around in.

So this goes for the opposite -

it restricts motion!

This one's way more hyper than I thought.

What do you think?

It's a fresh new look, wouldn't you say?

I dunno, it feels weird.

It's all breezy under here.

You sound like a guy trying on girls' clothes.

That's you, though.

True.

Well then, on to our next stop.

Next stop?

Being turned by your first love, huh?

That's so nice.

So nice.

Sooo nice!

I want a Yamori-kun of my own!

I'm not some object, jeez.

Don't be an obnoxious drunk, Midori.

Pace yourself, all right?

Midori goes after frustrated male virgins,

so you're actually her type, Yamori-kun.

What do you mean, "frustrated"?!

It's just what I am!

She's right, though.

You are.

I'll make you pay, Ko Yamori.

You'll rue the day you rejected my advances,

I swear!

I'm not sure she could get any more obnoxious.

You know, I wouldn't mind making you

my offspring along with Akkun.

Ooh, I wouldn't mind him, either.

Oh, come on.

What? What's with this...

girly girl talk?

Uh, can I go home now?

Nope, no way!

I wanna hear more about you and Nazuna-chan!

Oh yeah, remember that time you two kissed?

Right in front of us?

They did?

Is that a regular thing?

Is it, Yamori-kun?!

Uhhh...

Anyway...

Uh, s-so...

how do you think I could get Ko-kun to...

umm, well...

Nanakusa-san...

You're adorable.

I want to French kiss you.

What?

Can I?

What?

Can I?

Why?

The guy inside of me is getting turned on.

Don't say that like you're serious.

You're creeping me out.

But it's only natural, isn't it?

What do you mean?

If he thinks you're relatively attractive

and you hang out every day,

isn't it odd that he doesn't ever get turned on?

Wait! What?

Does that mean Ko-kun doesn't

find me sexually attractive?

Well, I wouldn’t go that far.

But when we went to that love hotel, he totally...

Huh?

Maybe he wasn't aroused by me

but by the situation itself?

Uh, you two went to a love hotel?

Yeah, once.

For laughs, mostly.

Are you sure?

Why? What do you mean?

I mean, was it really just for laughs?

Huh?

Nanakusa-san, you're actually interested in

romance more than anyone, aren't you?

Your love for dirty jokes is a way to mask that.

Because you're not honest

about your true feelings.

Y-you're wrong!

I'm just really into dirty jokes!

Okay?!

You realize how stupid you sound right now?

I need more beer!

Hurry!

Before I lose it completely...

What happened?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I let her drink too much.

Cute, isn't she?

Oh, uh, yeah.

Tell her that when she wakes up.

She'll like that.

Would she, though?

I do think you're cute...

always.

1st Night: That time's not for us.

That girls' night the other day...

I just up and left.

Think that was okay?

Don't worry about it.

They're concerned about us,

but get a kick out of it too.

Actually, I think they're mostly in it for the kicks.

Shouldn't you be more worried

about yourself, "friend"?

Remember, the rule is one year.

You have about ten months left, Ko-kun.

In ten months, umm...

You know, you've gotta fall in...

l-lubb with me...

or else, y-you know, I mean...

You almost said it!

You did good, Nazuna-chan!

I see signs of progress!

A determination to overcome your weakness!

That's so impressive!

Impressive and amazing!

Well sure, I can't say I'm not worried.

Someone even said I might be

devoid of romantic urges altogether.

Wow, that's harsh.

I'm not one to talk given how I never have

any suitors, but you've got issues, huh?

What?

And that's not harsh?

It appears we need to do some research.

By the way...

Where are we going?

Tokyo Local

Hara Masauji

Itagawa Sekigata

Samura Himori

Yamori Asa

Back in elementary school,

there was this field trip or something.

My group was scheduled to go to Tokyo.

The ones who weren't going to Tokyo,

they were super jealous.

But I really couldn't understand why.

It takes less than an hour to get there by train,

but everyone idolizes it for some reason.

What's this?

My memories about Tokyo.

That's bleak!

It came out of nowhere, too.

What the heck?!

All I want to say is that

it pisses me off when people love the idea of Tokyo

just because, for no particular reason.

Ouch!

Ow!

Uh, what's that for?

...wrong... of ...o?

Huh?

What's wrong with loving the idea of Tokyo?!

You do?

One day, I visited Tokyo on a whim.

Maybe I hoped that something fun

might be waiting there.

But the glamor of Tokyo

made me feel a little lonely.

Hanging out on my own, I got hit on.

It didn't seem fun so I turned them down.

And I kind of realized something.

I came with no plans, and all alone to boot.

No wonder it wasn't fun.

Though that's not exclusive to Tokyo, of course.

It's incredible, you know.

You can shop for clothes past ten o'clock,

and karaoke's open 24/7!

Behold, our research subjects!

"Research"?

Looking around, it's clear that age has

nothing to do with the thrill of romance.

But some of the relationships just

don't look right, morally.

"Right"?

What does that even mean?

Ko-kun, romance is a gamble,

and no one in their right mind takes that chance.

She's the one who said "romance,"

and now she's all embarrassed.

So basically, you want to observe people in romantic

relationships to learn how they go about it?

Yeah, exactly.

There are plenty of people in Tokyo,

so we should find more than enough samples.

Speaking of which...

You know guys who pick up girls?

That seems separate from romance, you know?

And kinda immoral, I guess.

Hey...

Are you saying any guy picking up a girl

just wants to get in bed right away?!

You're awful!

That kind of prejudice stinks!

Okay, you're just trolling me now.

You really think they aren't all like that?

Sure.

Like people who are so lonely that

they need someone to talk to.

But that's got nothing to do with love!

Just drop it.

We don't need to discuss exceptions

that might or might not exist!

Let's just talk about the ones who

want to get it on asap!

You just love lewd topics, don't you?

That's not what this is!

Well, Ko-kun, consider this scenario.

Let's say a guy succeeds in getting

a girl in bed right away.

The relationship is physical.

There are no romantic feelings involved whatsoever.

But then, what started as a fling turns

into more time spent together,

and at some point, they decide

they want a proper relationship.

And that materializes.

Is that immoral?

Ko-kun, that right there...

describes our relationship to a tee.

Excuse me?!

Why would you say that?

Remember what I told you?

Feeding on blood for a vampire equals

both nourishment and copulation.

It covers two of the three basic cravings:

food and sex.

There's no room for doubt that ours

is a physical relationship.

Besides, I'm more the pickup artist

and you foolishly fell for my bait.

That makes it sound so bad.

Who cares, as long as the two

in question don't mind?

That's not for anyone else to judge.

That's true.

It was fascinating.

So many people involved in romance,

like it's the most natural thing in the world.

With the right timing,

it can paint a dramatic love story.

But in real life, there is no dramatic narrative.

That's not necessary for people to fall in love.

There's nothing special about romance.

That's what you wanted me to figure out, right?!

Hmm? Um, yeah?

Uh?

Yup!

Yes, I knew it!

UENO ZOO

A zoo, huh?

You like zoos?

Huh?! Well, uh, not in particular.

Just curious about what the zoo is like at night.

Wanna check it out?

Actually?

Is this okay?

Isn't it illegal?!

You can't be serious.

You're a kid wandering around at night.

None of this is okay.

Try to keep it down.

We shouldn't frighten the animals.

Nothing here.

Or here.

Gorilla Forest

Wow, I can't see anything.

Right?

Monorail Station

Aesop

Bridge

Hey, about what you said earlier.

About having no interest in Tokyo.

Does that mean you like your hometown?

What does that even mean?

No idea then, huh?

You know how some people prefer

to stay put while others head to Tokyo?

Uhh, I guess?

Which would you choose?

Well, I guess my hometown then.

But not because I like it or anything.

I don't have anywhere particular I want to go.

At least that's what I used to think.

Until recently.

"Recently"?

For the first time,

I actually have a good reason to stay.

Because it's where I got to meet you, Nazuna-chan.

Even if I never get to be a vampire,

as long as I live there,

I'll feel like you're nearby.

I see.

Me too.

I wanted to come with you, Ko-kun.

To Tokyo.

I loved the idea of coming here with someone.

I'm glad that someone was you.

Can I have a drink?

Sure.

Time to go home?

Well, maybe one day...

Sorry, never mind.

West Garden Station

I almost said...

we could come during the day.

But that time's not for us.
