WEBVTT
00:00.040 --> 00:01.270
Child King
00:02.360 --> 00:04.780
I was born to a father who was a stunt man
00:04.780 --> 00:08.040
and a mother who was an
unsuccessful actress.
00:09.830 --> 00:11.930
You did great, Haru-kun!
00:13.070 --> 00:14.570
I'll do my best in the next scene, too.
00:15.090 --> 00:15.940
Good.
00:18.170 --> 00:22.610
Seeing my mom look so happy
made acting fun for me.
00:22.610 --> 00:25.550
It made me want to try
harder and do a lot more.
00:27.310 --> 00:28.050
But...
00:42.100 --> 00:47.940
Osamake: Romcom Where
The Childhood Friend Won't Lose
01:59.670 --> 02:02.800
I had no idea you were at this school.
02:03.550 --> 02:08.560
Would you tell me why you suddenly
left show business six years ago?
02:08.560 --> 02:10.950
Why should I have to tell you?
02:10.950 --> 02:13.740
I decided to be an actor because of you.
02:13.740 --> 02:14.550
Huh?
02:14.990 --> 02:18.200
My dad acted alongside you
in a historical drama,
02:18.200 --> 02:20.560
and he had the highest praise for you.
02:20.910 --> 02:23.510
But I didn't have any talent.
02:23.510 --> 02:26.740
I had already given up once,
but I still wanted to be an actor.
02:27.100 --> 02:31.320
Then Shirokusa-chan told me
that you went to this school.
02:31.950 --> 02:33.210
Kachi told you?
02:33.740 --> 02:37.580
I did some digging and found
out you liked Shirokusa-chan.
02:37.580 --> 02:39.290
I figured I could use that.
02:39.760 --> 02:43.750
In other words, I decided to
start dating Shirokusa-chan
02:43.750 --> 02:45.810
so that I could humiliate you.
02:46.680 --> 02:48.670
It looks like it worked.
02:49.070 --> 02:51.430
Why would you do that just to get to me?
02:51.710 --> 02:53.350
Because I hate you.
02:53.350 --> 02:57.450
I wanted victory over you
in a form that I could see,
02:57.450 --> 02:58.650
that'd be clear as day.
02:59.080 --> 03:00.150
You bastard!
03:01.260 --> 03:03.970
I really wish you wouldn't
do anything violent.
03:03.970 --> 03:06.120
Though if you want to be expelled,
I won't stop you.
03:06.280 --> 03:09.650
What's his deal? How is
he a perfect superman?!
03:09.650 --> 03:12.330
He's just a complete idiot
who's mad with envy!
03:12.910 --> 03:15.030
Why would Kachi date a guy like this?!
03:18.230 --> 03:22.500
I'm planning to formally confess to
Shirokusa-chan at the confession festival.
03:23.060 --> 03:26.110
My agency doesn't want me
to go public with it yet,
03:26.110 --> 03:29.470
but if I do it at the confession festival,
they'll have to agree.
03:31.210 --> 03:35.030
And that will be the time
limit on your first love.
03:36.580 --> 03:39.460
Go ahead and do your best
to find my weakness.
03:43.940 --> 03:47.570
Hey. You said you wanted to do a play
for the cultural festival, right?
03:47.850 --> 03:48.760
Huh?
03:49.330 --> 03:50.780
I'll be in it.
03:54.610 --> 03:57.630
Ah... I see.
03:58.150 --> 04:02.120
Abe's a pro. You'll need a
good script to beat him.
04:02.120 --> 04:03.420
I know that.
04:03.420 --> 04:07.880
It needs to hook people, make them laugh,
and leave them speechless.
04:07.880 --> 04:09.570
And who can write...
04:11.990 --> 04:13.150
That's who.
04:13.770 --> 04:14.860
Go on.
04:15.600 --> 04:18.230
N-No, you go!
04:17.730 --> 04:19.390
Hey, Haru!
04:19.970 --> 04:22.190
Why haven't you checked NINE?
04:22.190 --> 04:25.830
It was my first post since we started dating,
and I wanted to go together!
04:26.020 --> 04:27.020
Geh!
04:27.630 --> 04:28.760
No way...
04:29.460 --> 04:31.130
Maru-kun...
04:31.130 --> 04:32.950
Come play with us.
04:35.830 --> 04:39.250
Guilty! Guilty!
04:39.250 --> 04:41.920
Don't cry, Goudo! I'll give you some candy!
04:42.210 --> 04:44.170
Thanks for bailing me out, Kuro.
04:47.820 --> 04:49.670
Hey, perfect.
04:50.020 --> 04:51.200
Go ask her!
04:51.960 --> 04:52.880
Kachi!
04:53.960 --> 04:55.180
You want something?
04:56.420 --> 04:58.920
Help! Help! Help!
04:58.920 --> 05:02.930
Do you not think it's rude to call
my name and then turn your back?
05:04.070 --> 05:07.870
I sincerely apologize for
all kinds of things!
05:08.200 --> 05:10.130
What... things?
05:10.770 --> 05:11.510
Huh?
05:12.800 --> 05:15.190
Nothing. So what do you want?
05:15.570 --> 05:19.660
Oh... Well, we want to do a play
for the cultural festival,
05:19.660 --> 05:24.210
and we were hoping you'd write an amazing
script that would draw attention.
05:25.570 --> 05:27.760
Suddenly being showered with praise
05:27.760 --> 05:30.450
and asked for favors
right after I got famous
05:30.450 --> 05:31.670
isn't a great feeling.
05:33.520 --> 05:37.360
But I do want to support people
who challenge themselves.
05:37.360 --> 05:39.310
I wouldn't mind helping you.
05:39.560 --> 05:40.210
Huh?
05:40.730 --> 05:42.480
You'll be in the play, right?
05:42.480 --> 05:43.800
Oh, yeah.
05:44.310 --> 05:47.250
Okay. I'll come up with something.
05:47.250 --> 05:48.030
Really?
05:48.360 --> 05:50.240
Depending on what you pay me.
05:51.160 --> 05:52.600
I'll think of something!
05:53.840 --> 05:54.560
Okay.
05:55.230 --> 05:57.090
Let's exchange NINE info.
06:01.290 --> 06:03.290
I'd like to call you about
the cultural festival.
Are you free right now?
06:05.300 --> 06:07.260
URRRGH...
06:07.450 --> 06:08.030
Go!
06:16.180 --> 06:18.560
Oh, having curry today?
06:18.560 --> 06:19.460
Yeah.
06:19.460 --> 06:23.460
My little sisters were just saying
they wanted some of your curry.
06:23.460 --> 06:25.980
I haven't seen them in a while.
How are they doing?
06:25.980 --> 06:26.950
Good!
06:27.480 --> 06:29.820
Kuro and I live next to each other,
06:29.820 --> 06:31.620
and our parents are good friends.
06:31.970 --> 06:33.820
Since our families spent
a lot of time together,
06:33.820 --> 06:36.600
her sisters are like my own family, too.
06:36.940 --> 06:39.120
They all have color words in their names,
06:39.120 --> 06:44.330
so local folks call them the four beautiful
Shida girls, the "Colorful Sisters."
06:45.660 --> 06:48.730
Maybe I should cook something
every now and then, too.
06:50.520 --> 06:52.820
I'm begging you. Don't.
06:52.820 --> 06:57.230
What? Are you gonna say my tongue
is like outer space again?
06:57.230 --> 06:58.660
Well, it's true!
06:58.660 --> 07:01.400
Do you know how many times your
cooking almost killed me?
07:02.660 --> 07:05.060
I'm not even that bad at cooking.
07:07.290 --> 07:09.030
It's such a mess in here again.
07:09.700 --> 07:12.020
Yeah, I spent summer break with my dad.
07:12.710 --> 07:15.320
Is he crossing the country on foot again?
07:15.320 --> 07:18.670
He's pretty busy doing accident
re-enactment stunt work.
07:18.670 --> 07:19.760
Huh...
07:19.940 --> 07:23.700
We're both pretty irresponsible,
so I appreciate you coming by again.
07:23.970 --> 07:25.220
Thanks.
07:25.400 --> 07:28.680
Yeah, yeah. I bet your
summer break was crazy.
07:28.670 --> 07:29.210
Rock-Paper-Scissors King
07:31.790 --> 07:33.130
A photo?
07:33.900 --> 07:36.400
Hey, Haru, who's this kid?
07:36.710 --> 07:40.280
Wow, that's Shiro.
That brings back memories.
07:40.280 --> 07:41.570
Shiro?
07:41.860 --> 07:44.820
The son of a sponsor on a drama I was in.
07:45.100 --> 07:47.490
We played together once.
07:47.490 --> 07:49.930
I think he said he'd write a story someday,
07:49.930 --> 07:51.890
and he wanted me to act in it.
07:52.290 --> 07:54.650
I never knew you had a friend like that.
07:59.660 --> 08:00.790
Kachi Shirokusa
07:59.660 --> 08:00.790
Calling
07:59.660 --> 08:00.790
Decline
07:59.660 --> 08:00.790
Answer
08:02.230 --> 08:03.660
Uh, nothing!
08:03.660 --> 08:05.790
I swear, that Tetsuhiko!
08:05.790 --> 08:07.240
Why is he calling me?
08:07.600 --> 08:09.940
I'm gonna go to my room for a minute!
08:09.940 --> 08:11.370
Huh? Why?
08:11.370 --> 08:13.470
Sorry, but could you watch the pot?
08:15.530 --> 08:17.170
Yes, hello?
08:17.630 --> 08:19.060
Thanks for the message.
08:19.060 --> 08:21.020
Nah, you don't have to thank me.
08:21.020 --> 08:22.280
Do you have time to talk?
08:22.560 --> 08:23.920
Of course!
08:23.920 --> 08:25.680
So about the image for the play—
08:25.680 --> 08:26.600
Haru!
08:26.600 --> 08:28.960
Did you put the vacuum
cleaner somewhere else?
08:29.810 --> 08:32.960
Ah. So that's it.
08:32.960 --> 08:35.560
No, wait! There's a reason for this!
08:33.470 --> 08:35.560
The food's gonna get cold!
08:36.050 --> 08:39.700
I'm sorry for calling in the
middle of your at-home date.
08:39.700 --> 08:42.870
N-N-No! That's not what this is!
08:45.980 --> 08:48.410
I know about your relationship
with Shida-san.
08:48.410 --> 08:50.370
There's no reason to get so flustered.
08:51.260 --> 08:53.760
Kachi... Is that the kind of person you are?
08:53.930 --> 08:57.470
You didn't know? It's all your fault.
08:57.660 --> 08:59.570
Huh? Why?
08:59.570 --> 09:01.180
U-Uh, because...
09:01.180 --> 09:03.810
Haru, I'll be doing the laundry.
09:03.810 --> 09:05.920
Come down when you're done on the phone.
09:06.240 --> 09:09.770
Why don't we talk tomorrow instead?
Just the two of us.
09:10.290 --> 09:11.080
Just us?!
09:11.290 --> 09:12.240
Yes.
09:12.240 --> 09:14.520
I'll have the library
prep room ready for us.
09:14.980 --> 09:18.270
I've reserved it for times
when we want to talk alone.
09:19.890 --> 09:21.740
Does she mean...
09:24.060 --> 09:27.510
Send me your ideas on the
image for the play on NINE.
09:27.510 --> 09:29.590
I might be able to come
up with a simple plot.
09:30.040 --> 09:33.100
Okay... Thanks. See you tomorrow.
09:38.270 --> 09:41.050
So it was actually Kachi-san.
09:41.050 --> 09:41.800
Yeah.
09:42.060 --> 09:46.550
Don't you think it's weird that
she's suddenly approaching you?
09:46.550 --> 09:49.310
And exchanging NINE contacts in
front of everyone, too.
09:49.630 --> 09:51.050
Is it weird?
09:51.050 --> 09:55.020
She might be working behind the
scenes with Abe-senpai to trap you.
09:55.020 --> 09:59.630
And asking Kachi-san, the one you want
revenge on, for help seems kinda backwards.
10:00.420 --> 10:04.140
Doesn't this feel like
Abe-senpai's setting a trap?
10:04.140 --> 10:08.170
If he is, you're a clown happily
nibbling on the bait he left for you.
10:13.170 --> 10:16.170
How dare he trample all
over a man's purity?!
10:16.480 --> 10:20.870
I get that acting is the only
way to beat Abe-senpai,
10:20.870 --> 10:22.420
but can you even act, Haru?
10:24.080 --> 10:27.180
I don't think you should try to act.
10:27.180 --> 10:29.160
It's been ages since you did,
10:29.160 --> 10:32.770
and there's a lot more bashing
now than there was then.
10:32.770 --> 10:34.220
You still want to do it?
10:34.590 --> 10:37.170
Thanks for worrying about me.
10:37.640 --> 10:41.400
But if I don't do anything,
I think I'll regret it forever.
10:41.750 --> 10:44.860
So I think this is a good opportunity.
10:45.150 --> 10:46.940
I'll try practicing tomorrow.
10:47.640 --> 10:51.540
Well, if it doesn't work out,
acting isn't all you're good for.
10:51.540 --> 10:52.420
I still...
10:53.080 --> 10:54.410
like you.
10:56.790 --> 10:59.940
Aw, you're embarrassed. How cute.
10:59.940 --> 11:01.980
Well, you should see how red you are!
11:01.980 --> 11:03.830
I-I'm not red!
11:05.940 --> 11:08.560
No counterattacks! I can't deal with that!
11:08.840 --> 11:10.090
What the hell?
11:10.090 --> 11:12.440
It's fine for me to egg you on!
11:12.440 --> 11:15.350
But you're not allowed to tease me!
11:15.940 --> 11:18.310
That's some convenient logic.
11:23.960 --> 11:25.200
Hey!
11:29.030 --> 11:30.560
What about this, then?
11:30.930 --> 11:34.590
J-Just do it. You're gonna kiss me, right?
11:35.530 --> 11:38.170
You don't even have the guts to do that.
11:39.020 --> 11:40.630
And if I said I do?
11:43.360 --> 11:44.360
I'd be happy.
11:44.600 --> 11:46.850
I can't!
11:47.090 --> 11:48.870
I think you know this,
11:48.870 --> 11:52.060
but no one would think it was
weird if I got home late.
11:52.420 --> 11:54.680
D-Don't yank the ladder out from under me!
11:54.680 --> 11:56.290
I can't?
11:56.290 --> 11:57.390
You wanna kill me?!
11:57.650 --> 12:00.430
I got over it a long time ago.
12:00.430 --> 12:02.610
I'm just moving forward now.
12:02.610 --> 12:05.340
I-I can't! I seriously can't!
12:08.760 --> 12:10.120
Oh, it's Kachi...
12:10.120 --> 12:14.080
I made a list of questions I want to ask.
Use it to think about an image.
12:14.080 --> 12:19.090
Osamake: Romcom Where
The Childhood Friend Won't Lose
12:14.080 --> 12:19.090
\hEpisode 2:
His and Her and Her Circumstances
12:14.080 --> 12:19.090
Haru!
12:20.400 --> 12:22.350
Aiueo... Iueoa...
12:22.500 --> 12:25.290
Ueoai... Eoaiu... Oaiue...
12:27.100 --> 12:28.310
Swap out!
12:28.750 --> 12:29.770
Kachi...
12:30.510 --> 12:31.560
Let's do a read-through.
12:31.780 --> 12:32.760
You got it.
12:33.310 --> 12:35.030
I guess I start.
12:35.450 --> 12:38.230
Who has just called my name?
12:38.230 --> 12:41.480

There's no need to be scared. Come closer.
12:38.230 --> 12:41.480
Y-Yes, sir.
It's an honor to meet you, sir.
Um, perhaps it's because I have
no brain, but, well...
I struggle to talk to people.
12:38.230 --> 12:41.490
Who has just called my name?
There's no need to be scared.
Come closer.
12:44.840 --> 12:48.140
Y-Yes, sir. It's an honor to meet you, sir.
12:48.140 --> 12:50.970
Um, perhaps it's because I have no brain,
12:50.970 --> 12:54.920
but, well... I struggle to talk to—
12:55.670 --> 12:57.850
Talk... to...
12:59.880 --> 13:01.130
The Wizard of Oz
13:02.340 --> 13:03.380
You okay?
13:04.330 --> 13:05.290
Haru?
13:09.310 --> 13:10.430
Haru!
13:13.190 --> 13:15.310
Huh? Kachi?
13:15.840 --> 13:18.260
Oh, good. You're awake.
13:19.250 --> 13:22.740
Sorry... We had plans for today.
13:22.740 --> 13:24.280
That's why I waited for you.
13:27.240 --> 13:28.390
What's this?
13:28.390 --> 13:32.600
I wrote a bit based on the
info you sent me last night.
13:30.320 --> 13:35.330
Contents
Needs an extraordinary concept that will make it the most talked-about event of the cultural festival
Concept
To stand out above all others, should utilize the opening ceremony and confession festival instead of limiting to a standard play performance
There's no point unless everyone sees it
13:32.600 --> 13:33.660
What do you think?
13:35.680 --> 13:36.980
Oh, I get it.
13:36.980 --> 13:40.690
We could use the confession festival,
since everyone in the school will see it.
13:40.690 --> 13:43.960
Yes. If you want to stand out,
that's the best way.
13:44.250 --> 13:46.970
You guys will cause a stir
at the confession festival
13:46.970 --> 13:51.250
and take it over, as if it
was part of your own play.
13:51.250 --> 13:52.160
How about it?
13:52.160 --> 13:53.550
Best idea I've heard!
13:54.010 --> 13:55.060
Thanks!
13:59.640 --> 14:01.900
Man, you really are a pro!
14:01.900 --> 14:05.000
Well, that's to be expected
from one of my plots.
14:07.170 --> 14:08.330
That's all.
14:09.090 --> 14:11.120
You don't get to see more until you pay me.
14:11.580 --> 14:13.410
Oh, right.
14:13.410 --> 14:15.370
I actually don't have much cash on me...
14:15.560 --> 14:19.290
Stop. I don't want to see
you in that position.
14:20.690 --> 14:24.670
Kachi, you... know I was
a child actor, right?
14:24.670 --> 14:25.390
Yes.
14:25.390 --> 14:28.090
Were you actually... supporting me?
14:28.880 --> 14:31.920
Well, yes. I can't deny that.
14:32.450 --> 14:34.460
Oh... So that's why...
14:35.130 --> 14:38.630
Thanks, but I'm not who I was back then.
14:39.190 --> 14:41.390
I'm just a high school kid now.
14:41.390 --> 14:43.350
It won't do you much good to expect more.
14:43.550 --> 14:46.310
But you're preparing to get
up on the stage again.
14:46.670 --> 14:49.980
Yeah... Maybe I shouldn't even bother,
14:50.280 --> 14:53.300
but it seems dumb to just
keep living in obscurity.
14:53.300 --> 14:56.410
Even if I embarrass myself, I want to
put all I have into starting over.
14:57.350 --> 15:01.770
Would you tell me why that happened to you?
15:01.770 --> 15:04.100
That's the payment I want.
15:06.010 --> 15:09.260
Are you familiar with Child Star,
the drama I was in?
15:09.260 --> 15:10.270
Of course.
15:10.600 --> 15:14.710
It became a cultural phenomenon
and launched you to instant fame.
15:14.710 --> 15:19.430
Yeah, and thanks to that, a continuation
was made the following year...
15:19.880 --> 15:25.190
But my mom was happier about being
in it herself than about me.
15:25.850 --> 15:30.780
Haru-kun, I get to act in the
continuation as your mother!
15:30.780 --> 15:31.480
Really?
15:31.750 --> 15:35.580
It's always been my dream to be
in a drama in this time slot.
15:35.580 --> 15:37.870
It's thanks to you that I got the call.
15:37.870 --> 15:39.280
Thank you so much!
15:39.730 --> 15:40.480
But...
15:43.560 --> 15:44.790
Cut!
15:46.500 --> 15:47.510
Are you okay?
15:47.510 --> 15:48.790
Quick! Call an ambulance!
15:48.790 --> 15:49.910
Mom?
15:49.910 --> 15:52.120
She died from a blow to the head.
15:52.120 --> 15:54.220
The car never made contact with her.
15:54.220 --> 15:58.170
It was just a terrible accident that
happened because she was acting her hardest.
15:59.000 --> 16:00.960
The drama's been canceled.
16:00.960 --> 16:02.390
You should take some time off.
16:02.770 --> 16:03.940
No!
16:04.360 --> 16:07.260
It was Mom's dream to be in that time slot!
16:07.540 --> 16:10.370
That's why she tried so hard
and ended up like that!
16:11.790 --> 16:17.060
There's no way she'd want this
drama to fail because of her!
16:19.860 --> 16:23.040
After that, the drama was
filmed through to the end,
16:22.500 --> 16:24.830
HOT TOPIC RANKING
16:22.500 --> 16:24.830
20 WEEKS IN A ROW
16:22.500 --> 16:24.830
NUMBER
16:23.040 --> 16:24.830
and it earned record-breaking ratings.
16:27.670 --> 16:30.930
And then I was forced into
an indefinite hiatus.
16:34.220 --> 16:36.060
I had no idea.
16:36.360 --> 16:38.240
We were under a gag order.
16:38.490 --> 16:39.720
I'm sorry...
16:39.720 --> 16:41.550
I...
16:48.910 --> 16:51.250
I got my pay.
16:55.900 --> 16:56.860
Kachi?
17:07.550 --> 17:09.670
I'm such a fool.
17:10.300 --> 17:14.080
As a child, I was no good at anything.
17:14.080 --> 17:15.170
I had no confidence.
17:15.860 --> 17:17.710
I was bullied because of it,
17:17.710 --> 17:19.630
so I stopped going to school.
17:35.080 --> 17:38.160
Hi! I'm Maru Sueharu!
17:38.590 --> 17:40.890
A-Are you really him?
17:40.890 --> 17:44.120
Sorry, Maru-kun. My kid's
a big fan of yours.
17:44.850 --> 17:47.350
Go on, Shiro. Ask him to play with you.
17:48.140 --> 17:48.870
But...
17:49.300 --> 17:50.890
I'm Maru Sueharu.
17:50.890 --> 17:53.160
Let's be friends, Shiro!
17:55.350 --> 17:57.420
You're amazing, Shiro!
17:57.420 --> 17:59.300
Look at all these books!
18:03.330 --> 18:06.060
H-Hey, Su-chan...
18:06.230 --> 18:06.910
Hmm?
18:07.310 --> 18:11.930
If I ever write a story, I want
you to play the star in it.
18:11.930 --> 18:14.550
Yeah, of course! I'll look forward to it!
18:21.190 --> 18:23.530
Wait for me, Su-chan.
18:24.390 --> 18:27.190
What do you mean, I can't see him again?!
18:27.190 --> 18:28.110
I'm sorry.
18:28.370 --> 18:30.620
But why? What happened?
18:30.620 --> 18:33.120
Did I do something to make him hate me?
18:33.500 --> 18:36.500
But that's cruel. He promised me...
18:36.500 --> 18:38.260
That's too cruel, Su-chan!
18:39.510 --> 18:41.630
I wanted to get back at him.
18:41.630 --> 18:45.340
I decided to get stronger,
prettier, and famous,
18:45.340 --> 18:47.680
to become the most gorgeous woman ever,
18:47.680 --> 18:50.140
and make him regret that he
didn't come to see me again.
18:51.090 --> 18:53.940
But I eventually figured it out.
18:54.300 --> 18:57.390
That feeling I had was my first love.
18:58.650 --> 19:02.890
I love you, Su-chan. I love you, Su-chan.
19:03.470 --> 19:07.940
I love you, Su-chan. I love you, Su-chan.
19:08.570 --> 19:10.540
I want to put all I have into starting over.
19:11.430 --> 19:15.830
He's just as radiant and
strong as he was back then.
19:16.530 --> 19:19.790
I hated him so much,
but now I'm back to this.
19:22.100 --> 19:25.430
First love is a curse, Su-chan.
19:26.700 --> 19:28.990
My name is Shirokusa.
19:28.990 --> 19:32.760
I was named after "shirotsumekusa,"
the white clover.
19:35.320 --> 19:40.230
Abe-senpai will sing and dance to
Child Star at the confession festival.
19:36.190 --> 19:50.700
Confession Festival
19:40.230 --> 19:43.760
Then you rush the stage and start
singing and dancing alongside him,
19:43.760 --> 19:46.500
and you completely steal
the spotlight from him.
19:46.500 --> 19:50.490
Then you ride the wave and
confess to his girlfriend...
19:51.320 --> 19:54.600
Wait, if you're even better than Abe-senpai,
19:54.600 --> 19:57.760
does that mean Kachi-san will
accept your confession?
19:57.760 --> 19:59.920
That's how it comes across, huh?
20:00.140 --> 20:02.800
But there's no way she'd do that.
20:02.800 --> 20:04.650
Also, it doesn't make sense.
20:04.650 --> 20:07.770
How does Kachi-san know
about Abe-senpai's plan?
20:08.460 --> 20:11.050
This is obviously a trap.
20:11.050 --> 20:14.490
She's gonna make you do all this
and then reject you outright.
20:15.430 --> 20:19.110
It's a plot to kick you as low as you
can go just when you're riding high.
20:19.110 --> 20:21.590
Nah, she wouldn't do anything that awful.
20:21.590 --> 20:23.040
Are you gonna do this, then?
20:25.350 --> 20:27.650
I want to, honestly.
20:27.650 --> 20:31.020
Because Kachi-san might actually
accept your confession?
20:31.020 --> 20:33.850
No, it's just because I think it'll be fun.
20:33.850 --> 20:36.410
It's the perfect thing
to take Abe down a peg.
20:37.300 --> 20:41.180
The girl you admire might finally look
your way. You want to ruin that?
20:42.010 --> 20:44.710
Hey, Kuro... There's something
I want you to know.
20:44.710 --> 20:46.450
Nope. I don't wanna hear it.
20:46.450 --> 20:47.650
Listen, I—
20:48.740 --> 20:51.340
Receiving signal! Receiving signal!
20:51.340 --> 20:52.180
Seriously?
20:52.330 --> 20:53.580
I don't wanna hear it!
20:53.580 --> 20:55.470
You're gonna say you still like Kachi-san,
20:55.470 --> 20:58.240
so we should stop being
a fake couple, right?
20:58.240 --> 20:59.140
I don't want that!
21:02.430 --> 21:03.350
It's not that.
21:04.450 --> 21:07.120
I'm gonna be practicing with
Tetsuhiko up until the festival,
21:07.120 --> 21:09.660
so you don't have to come over
for a while. That's all.
21:09.660 --> 21:10.610
Huh?
21:10.610 --> 21:13.810
You were opposed to me acting, right?
21:14.150 --> 21:17.270
Well, I'll probably look pretty
terrible while I'm practicing,
21:17.270 --> 21:19.760
so I thought only Tetsuhiko
should help me out.
21:19.760 --> 21:21.880
Okay, fine. I believe you.
21:24.490 --> 21:25.800
Don't force yourself to smile.
21:26.280 --> 21:27.290
Idiot.
21:29.060 --> 21:31.580
Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!
21:32.250 --> 21:35.060
I think you can probably act just fine.
21:35.860 --> 21:37.870
As long as you're acting
for someone else's sake.
21:38.290 --> 21:42.440
That's what it was about when you were a kid
and your acting made your mom happy, right?
21:42.730 --> 21:45.280
So if you can decide who
you want to act for,
21:45.280 --> 21:48.350
I know you can get through this.
21:50.020 --> 21:51.200
You're right.
21:51.950 --> 21:53.260
Thanks, Kuro.
21:53.260 --> 21:55.680
You're very welcome.
21:58.640 --> 22:01.050
Well, ready to start?
22:01.050 --> 22:01.880
Yeah.
22:07.530 --> 22:08.580
Haru...
