00:00.950 --> 00:02.500
The aquarium?

00:02.500 --> 00:06.130
Sorry. I forgot to tell you yesterday.

00:06.130 --> 00:08.820
But we didn't skip school
 like the last time.

00:09.130 --> 00:10.950
We went after school.

00:10.950 --> 00:12.110
Who's "we"?

00:12.110 --> 00:14.140
Uh, Aki-kun.

00:15.950 --> 00:19.140
So? How far have you guys gone?

00:19.480 --> 00:21.420
Let's see...

00:21.420 --> 00:24.090
We've been to Nihondaira Zoo,

00:24.090 --> 00:27.400
a festival, the movie theater 
at Cenova mall,

00:27.400 --> 00:31.070
and yesterday was the aquarium 
at Matsuzakaya department store.

00:35.540 --> 00:38.290
What's wrong? Does your head hurt?

00:38.290 --> 00:43.040

00:38.290 --> 00:40.440

00:40.860 --> 00:41.860
Sure.

02:13.920 --> 02:17.640
Episode 7: A Replica Searches

02:14.470 --> 02:15.510
Aikawa-san.

02:16.070 --> 02:17.640
Wanna eat lunch together?

02:18.120 --> 02:22.260
Lately, I've been discussing our project
with the prop crew over food.

02:22.640 --> 02:25.140
It's a good use of lunch time.

02:26.810 --> 02:29.150
Aikawa-san, your food looks so good.

02:29.150 --> 02:32.260
Thanks. But all of your lunches
 look tasty, too.

02:32.260 --> 02:34.300
Mine's just reheated.

02:34.300 --> 02:36.530
Oh, Hamburg steak. Lucky me.

02:36.530 --> 02:37.760
Anyone want my grapes?

02:37.760 --> 02:40.190
I'll take them. I love fruit for dessert.

02:40.820 --> 02:43.540
Ooh, Sanada, you've got 
some nice grub there.

02:43.540 --> 02:44.800
Lemme have a bite.

02:44.800 --> 02:45.860
For 50 million.

02:45.860 --> 02:47.040
What a rip-off.

02:48.570 --> 02:51.510
Sanada-kun's pretty cool, isn't he?

02:51.510 --> 02:52.550
He sure is.

02:52.850 --> 02:54.170
He's the "stern" type.

02:54.170 --> 02:55.550
But he's actually sweet.

02:55.550 --> 02:57.560
He's not like the other boys.

02:57.560 --> 03:00.180
Yeah. He's <i>definitely</i> not like Yoshii.

03:01.560 --> 03:05.410
Will we see some new couples
 at Seiryo Fest?

03:05.410 --> 03:06.630
Who knows?

03:06.630 --> 03:10.190
Our haunted house will be 
dark enough to steal kisses.

03:11.860 --> 03:13.610
So Aikawa-san...

03:14.070 --> 03:16.320
What's it like to kiss a guy?

03:17.520 --> 03:19.820
<i>Why is she asking me?</i>

03:26.750 --> 03:28.890
What's wrong? You're flushed.

03:28.890 --> 03:32.040
It's too warm in here, I think.

03:34.310 --> 03:36.360
Aikawa-san, aren't you in the lit club?

03:36.360 --> 03:37.890
Huh? Yeah.

03:37.890 --> 03:39.780
Could you recommend a book for me?

03:40.390 --> 03:44.990
<i>Is Sato-san bailing me out right now?</i>

03:47.530 --> 03:52.910
Do you remember any stories or poems 
from language arts textbooks?

03:52.910 --> 03:55.080
Yeah, there's one.

03:56.550 --> 03:58.440
"Sato was enraged."

03:58.440 --> 04:00.660
"She resolved to do whatever she must"

04:00.660 --> 04:03.240
"to rid the land of that evil 
and ruthless Yoshii."

04:03.240 --> 04:04.860
That's "Run, Melos!"

04:04.860 --> 04:06.160
Bingo.

04:06.160 --> 04:10.100
Just yesterday, he smashed the boxes
 we were using for the haunted house.

04:10.980 --> 04:12.430
Was it bad?

04:12.430 --> 04:16.300
Yeah, but Sanada-kun fixed them up
 for us right away.

04:16.300 --> 04:17.420
He did?

04:19.290 --> 04:23.150
You know, I'm basically an outlaw.

04:23.800 --> 04:27.710
If you butt heads with people in a group, 
things tend to get awkward.

04:28.080 --> 04:30.920
So what I do is go hang out 
with another group.

04:30.920 --> 04:32.720
After a good, long while,

04:32.720 --> 04:36.190
the first group forgets the fight happened
 and welcomes me back.

04:36.840 --> 04:40.320
I guess it's what you'd call
 "hit-and-run tactics."

04:41.300 --> 04:45.580
But you never seem miserable 
when you're alone, Aikawa-san.

04:46.660 --> 04:48.080
But sometimes...

04:48.430 --> 04:52.550
only once in a while,
you do seem kind of sad.

04:52.550 --> 04:54.410
Or maybe it's just me.

04:54.870 --> 04:57.840
But there I go again, 
acting like I know you.

04:58.540 --> 05:01.910
This is why other girls 
don't like me that much.

05:01.910 --> 05:03.320
You don't say.

05:03.320 --> 05:04.680
I do say.

05:04.680 --> 05:08.670
It's only because they don't know
 what they're missing.

05:10.840 --> 05:13.430
Aikawa-san, did you just hit on me?

05:13.850 --> 05:15.980
That made my heart skip a beat.

05:17.640 --> 05:20.860
Ah, this is where Dazai's at?

05:20.860 --> 05:24.100
Where's that novel 
that got made into a movie?

05:26.740 --> 05:29.770
Sorry, Sato-san. I've gotta go.

05:29.770 --> 05:31.370
Uh, sure.

05:31.370 --> 05:32.770
And thanks.

05:35.460 --> 05:37.660
Another dead end?

05:37.660 --> 05:40.640
This case is never going to be solved.

<b>Literature Club</b>

05:42.880 --> 05:46.840

05:46.840 --> 05:48.220
Sorry, my bad.

05:48.220 --> 05:50.980
So what's this "case"
you're talking about?

05:54.680 --> 06:00.150
Y-You heard me talking out loud?
 About a case?

06:00.150 --> 06:01.540
Loud and clear.

06:01.540 --> 06:02.950
I blew it!

06:02.950 --> 06:05.230
You're looking for the person
 behind the flyers?

06:05.230 --> 06:05.930
Huh?

06:05.930 --> 06:09.100
Well, lessee, let me think...

06:09.100 --> 06:10.300
Ricchan?

06:10.300 --> 06:13.040
Yes, I was on the hunt.

06:13.040 --> 06:15.510
Those flyers freaked me out.

06:15.510 --> 06:19.920
They might be talking 
about you and Aki-senpai.

06:21.100 --> 06:22.390
Ricchan.

06:23.030 --> 06:23.970
Thank you.

06:24.340 --> 06:25.840
Don't mention it.

06:25.840 --> 06:29.730
Say, can I help search 
for the culprit, too?

06:29.730 --> 06:30.310
What?

06:30.310 --> 06:33.360
But Aki-senpai will get mad.

06:34.220 --> 06:37.440
We'll keep it from Aki-kun 
so we don't worry him.

06:38.070 --> 06:41.170
This will be our little secret, Ricchan.

06:41.170 --> 06:42.190
And if he finds out?

06:42.190 --> 06:45.690
I'll stand with you in the hallway 
after he yells at us.

06:45.690 --> 06:47.290
And hold buckets of water, too?

06:47.290 --> 06:49.620
Right. One in each hand.

06:50.950 --> 06:53.100
Will we even find the perp?

06:53.100 --> 06:55.460
It's been two weeks since the incident.

06:55.460 --> 06:59.840
There's no point in searching blindly.
 But don't worry.

06:59.840 --> 07:02.760
Let me handle this, Nao-senpai.

07:05.720 --> 07:08.720
I'll definitely find the culprit for you...

07:10.460 --> 07:12.370
Or my name ain't Ricchan!

07:12.370 --> 07:14.550
You just wanted to say the line, didn't you?

07:15.100 --> 07:18.600
Imagine an imaginary 
menagerie manager...

07:18.600 --> 07:21.980

07:19.570 --> 07:24.040

was easier said than done.</i>

We need them to check 
if the haunted house is safe, right?

07:38.670 --> 07:39.580
Yeah.

07:39.580 --> 07:41.980
I'll go to the student council room.

07:41.980 --> 07:43.910
Would you? Thanks.

<b>Student Council</b>

What's with this test score?

07:48.930 --> 07:53.430
I should've hidden 
the answer sheet in here.

07:53.430 --> 07:58.910
Don't tell me you ditched studying 
to go out partying or something.

07:58.910 --> 08:00.930
You know I'd never do that.

08:00.930 --> 08:02.560
But this is just bizarre!

08:02.560 --> 08:05.400
How could you of all people 
completely bomb a test?

08:05.400 --> 08:07.440
Oh, shut up! Jeez.

08:07.440 --> 08:11.320
Who cares if I get a five or a ten
 on some stupid test?

08:11.320 --> 08:15.110
It doesn't mean you get
 to lecture me about it.

08:15.110 --> 08:17.960
You've never had a five 
or a ten in your life!

08:17.960 --> 08:20.370
You do better than this in your sleep!

08:20.370 --> 08:21.920
Just shut up already!

08:21.920 --> 08:25.960
You're one to preach, right after 
you foisted Princess Kaguya on me.

08:25.960 --> 08:28.470
Then, just say "no" for once!

08:28.830 --> 08:30.570
Say you don't want to act with me!

08:30.570 --> 08:32.510
Quit putting words in my mouth!

08:32.510 --> 08:34.210
You don't know me!

08:50.870 --> 08:52.050
Aikawa?

08:57.150 --> 09:00.070
Senpai, can I have a word?

09:00.070 --> 09:01.290
What is it now?

09:01.610 --> 09:05.250
The tone you took with her 
would've hurt anyone.

09:06.970 --> 09:09.700
Mori-senpai was close to tears.

09:09.700 --> 09:12.470
She was? I can't blame her.

09:13.900 --> 09:15.830
Aikawa, can you keep a secret?

09:15.830 --> 09:18.440
Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't.

09:18.440 --> 09:19.730
Rather honest of you.

09:21.520 --> 09:25.560
But I know I can trust
 someone like you.

09:27.490 --> 09:28.910
Over summer break,

09:28.910 --> 09:31.880
Mori and I went to the 
Abe River fireworks festival.

09:32.520 --> 09:37.580
I asked her out while we were there. 
I'm still waiting for her answer.

09:39.610 --> 09:41.580
Mori's really smart.

09:42.080 --> 09:44.960
She's top three in our grade.

09:44.960 --> 09:49.090
She's been studying to go 
to her dream college in Tokyo.

09:49.480 --> 09:52.940
Maybe that's why 
she's been putting me on hold.

09:53.420 --> 09:56.170
But despite all that, 
she's really something.

09:56.170 --> 09:59.170
She didn't contact me once 
over summer break.

09:59.170 --> 10:02.730
Then when school started again, 
she talks to me like nothing happened.

10:03.120 --> 10:08.230
All the while, I feel like I'm being 
tortured to death every single day.

10:08.570 --> 10:11.020
That must be agonizing.

10:11.020 --> 10:14.950
I want to take on even more work, 
even though I'm already busy.

10:15.790 --> 10:19.660
That way, I won't have 
to think about anything else.

10:22.440 --> 10:25.720
Mochizuki-senpai, 
breathe through your nose.

10:25.720 --> 10:28.150
Huh? Why now?

10:28.150 --> 10:29.340
Just do it.

10:29.340 --> 10:30.810
Breathe in.

10:32.930 --> 10:34.670
And breathe out.

10:35.500 --> 10:40.060
One, two, three, four, five.

10:44.220 --> 10:48.230
Abdominal breathing exercises. 
You taught us that technique for the play.

10:55.130 --> 10:56.540
So I was wondering...

10:57.010 --> 10:58.830
Are you going out with Sanada?

10:59.240 --> 11:01.090
No, I get it.

11:01.090 --> 11:04.760
You wouldn't want to brag in front 
of a guy who's still waiting around.

11:05.420 --> 11:07.370
I wasn't protecting you.

11:09.490 --> 11:12.380
You're not like how I thought you'd be.

11:13.190 --> 11:17.090
The third-years say you're either 
an aloof loner or an ice queen.

11:17.090 --> 11:18.910
That's how you come across.

11:20.090 --> 11:24.270
I'm only like this 
when I'm with the literature club.

11:24.270 --> 11:25.510
Oh, yeah?

11:25.510 --> 11:26.510
It's true.

11:26.890 --> 11:31.710
Well, in any case, I'm all business 
when it comes to the stage.

11:32.110 --> 11:33.960
Let's give it our all next weekend.

11:34.460 --> 11:35.460
Of course.

11:40.300 --> 11:42.410
Oh, hey, Sanada.

11:42.410 --> 11:43.570
Hi, there.

11:43.570 --> 11:45.580
Thanks, Aikawa.

11:49.380 --> 11:52.550
The inspectors came, 
and there are no issues so far.

11:52.550 --> 11:54.800
Really? Thank goodness.

11:55.910 --> 11:58.300
What did you two talk about?

11:58.300 --> 12:00.800
Uh, it's a secret.

12:01.110 --> 12:03.250
Nothing you can say to me?

12:03.250 --> 12:05.060
I can tell you this.

12:05.060 --> 12:08.230
He's having problems 
with his love life.

12:08.230 --> 12:09.510
And you lent an ear?

12:09.510 --> 12:10.380
Yeah.

12:10.380 --> 12:13.930
I gave him some useful advice, 
and he thanked me.

12:17.030 --> 12:19.990
Then I want you to help me, too.

12:20.420 --> 12:22.230
Is there something wrong?

12:22.230 --> 12:22.820
Yeah.

12:23.670 --> 12:29.210
Seeing my girlfriend talking
to another guy really bothers me.

12:32.210 --> 12:34.380
It's serious, isn't it?

12:34.380 --> 12:35.500
Yeah.

12:36.220 --> 12:37.460
But...

12:38.100 --> 12:43.770
Your girlfriend suffers from the same illness,
 so you're in the clear.

12:45.700 --> 12:47.470
That's a relief.

12:56.440 --> 12:59.660
I've finished the spin-off novel!

12:57.980 --> 13:00.240

13:00.740 --> 13:02.240
Good work, Ricchan!

13:02.240 --> 13:05.620
And also, we have more treats
 from Akai-sensei.

13:05.620 --> 13:08.120
These are filled with nuts.

13:08.740 --> 13:13.320
<i>Ricchan wrote this </i>Bamboo Cutter<i>
from the grandmother's perspective.</i>

13:13.920 --> 13:21.420

adore and treasure Princess Kaguya.</i>

13:22.180 --> 13:26.560
<i>She isn't their daughter by blood, 
but they love her as if she were.</i>

13:26.560 --> 13:30.480
<i>The play features the frail old grandma
recounting their time with Kaguya</i>

13:30.480 --> 13:34.280
<i>through lines and scenes 
that weren't in the original text.</i>

13:36.150 --> 13:38.190
Uh, what do you think?

13:39.410 --> 13:40.570
It's great.

13:40.570 --> 13:42.310
It's fantastic, Ricchan.

13:42.310 --> 13:45.930
I love the grandma and grandpa
 even more now.

13:45.930 --> 13:48.320
Yeah, I enjoyed it, too.

13:50.300 --> 13:52.590
You're all so kind.

13:55.960 --> 13:57.670
Mori-senpai?

13:58.590 --> 14:00.600
Sorry, I didn't mean to tear up.

14:01.040 --> 14:04.970
I'm not sure why, 
but it really struck home.

14:04.970 --> 14:08.940
I think I like this story more 
than the real <i>Bamboo Cutter</i>.

14:08.940 --> 14:11.790
Oof! I can't handle the overpraise.

14:12.870 --> 14:17.480
I think I'm almost done with the picture
 for the poster, so hang tight.

14:18.460 --> 14:19.520
Sure.

14:19.520 --> 14:22.530
<b>One Week to Seiryo Fest!</b>

14:30.280 --> 14:32.160
We don't have rehearsals today, do we?

14:32.160 --> 14:33.710
It's not that.

14:33.710 --> 14:36.790
I have an update on the case 
we're trying to solve.

14:39.150 --> 14:42.830
I now know which floor 
the flyers were thrown from.

14:42.830 --> 14:43.920
Really?

14:43.920 --> 14:47.550
I believe they were dropped
 from the rooftop.

14:47.550 --> 14:50.050
That makes sense, given the height.

14:50.470 --> 14:53.810
But I thought the door to the rooftop
 was always locked.

14:53.810 --> 14:59.960
Yeah, but the water tank had 
an inspection on October 1st,

14:59.960 --> 15:02.320
so an inspector was up there that day.

15:02.320 --> 15:05.630
The inspection happened 
during lunch hour.

15:05.630 --> 15:08.230
So someone else went up
to the rooftop at lunch,

15:08.230 --> 15:11.310
then waited until after school 
to drop the flyers?

15:11.310 --> 15:15.580
I thought so too at first, 
but ruled it out.

15:15.580 --> 15:18.330
If someone had snuck in
 without the key,

15:18.330 --> 15:20.830
they'd be stuck on the roof 
after tossing the flyers.

15:20.830 --> 15:22.710
Yeah, good point.

15:22.710 --> 15:26.140
My hunch is the teacher 
who was with the inspector

15:26.140 --> 15:28.080
forgot to lock the door.

15:28.080 --> 15:30.050
Our perp saw the door unlocked,

15:30.050 --> 15:32.720
then had the bright idea 
to drop the flyers.

15:32.720 --> 15:37.250
Or maybe it was the teacher 
who tossed those papers.

15:37.250 --> 15:39.560
That's plausible, too.

15:40.520 --> 15:43.170
So who was the teacher 
with the inspector?

15:43.170 --> 15:45.110
I don't know that yet.

15:45.510 --> 15:48.220
But I've devised a new plan.

15:48.220 --> 15:49.360
Tell me.

15:51.070 --> 15:53.200
We stake out the rooftop door.

15:53.200 --> 15:56.370
They say perps always return 
to the scene of the crime.

15:56.370 --> 15:59.140
C'mon! Hey, hey! Bring it!

15:59.140 --> 16:00.070
Batter up!

16:00.070 --> 16:01.460
You know...

16:01.460 --> 16:05.800
This is all kinds of wrong, 
but it's also sort of thrilling.

16:05.800 --> 16:08.380
You took the words right out of my mouth.

16:08.940 --> 16:10.080
Look at it go!

16:10.080 --> 16:10.760
Seriously?

16:10.760 --> 16:12.410
Police! Freeze!

16:12.410 --> 16:13.470
The hell?

16:13.470 --> 16:14.390
Crap!

16:14.390 --> 16:15.480
Run for it!

16:15.480 --> 16:16.900
Nao-senpai, after them!

16:16.900 --> 16:17.480
What?

16:17.480 --> 16:18.950
Yoshii-kun?

16:19.780 --> 16:20.850
Aikawa-san?

16:20.850 --> 16:22.700
What were you doing here?

16:22.700 --> 16:25.360
Huh? Beats me. Wouldn't know.

16:25.360 --> 16:30.030
Yoshii-kun, you ditched cleaning 
to play stickball, didn't you?

16:30.030 --> 16:31.610
Dang, caught!

16:31.610 --> 16:33.700
Please don't snitch, will ya?

16:33.700 --> 16:35.800
We need to ask you something.

16:37.120 --> 16:42.340
You guys were up here playing hooky
on Friday, October 1st, right?

16:42.340 --> 16:47.400
Huh? A specific day? I don't remember 
what I had for dinner yesterday.

16:47.400 --> 16:50.260
It was the day after the midterms.

16:50.260 --> 16:52.390
Our class decided 
to do the haunted house,

16:52.390 --> 16:54.840
then a bunch of flyers were dropped.

16:54.840 --> 16:57.740
Oh, you mean that day? 
Okay, yeah, I remember now.

16:57.740 --> 17:01.210
Did anyone pass through here that day?

17:01.210 --> 17:04.380
Did I see someone? I don't think so...

17:05.830 --> 17:07.350
Actually, I did.

17:07.350 --> 17:09.400
Do you know who it was?

17:09.400 --> 17:10.790
I sure do.

17:10.790 --> 17:11.790
It was...

17:23.050 --> 17:24.230
Senpai.

17:24.230 --> 17:25.290
Aikawa-san.

17:25.290 --> 17:29.770
I just got done with the poster. 
Sorry for the delay.

17:31.670 --> 17:34.610
I was struggling 
with what scene to paint,

17:34.610 --> 17:39.200
but <i>Bamboo Cutter</i> is supposed
 to be a story about family,

17:39.200 --> 17:41.310
so I went with this.

17:41.750 --> 17:43.990
It looks incredible.

17:44.480 --> 17:49.130
Thanks. It's my first time painting
 something for someone else.

17:49.690 --> 17:51.620
You did a great job.

17:51.620 --> 17:54.070
Ricchan will like it. So will the rest.

17:54.070 --> 17:55.870
Glad to hear it.

17:57.640 --> 18:00.820
You're the one who dropped 
the flyers, aren't you?

18:01.720 --> 18:03.110
Wow!

18:03.110 --> 18:04.730
How did you know?

18:05.460 --> 18:07.460
We had a witness.

18:10.390 --> 18:16.090
The teacher who went with the inspector 
came to the student council room.

18:16.090 --> 18:20.470
He asked me to go lock the door, 
since he needed to use the restroom.

18:21.130 --> 18:23.480
It was then that I decided...

18:23.480 --> 18:25.230
There's 
a doppel-
gänger 
at this 
school

18:23.480 --> 18:26.590
to print out a hundred flyers
 in the computer room,

18:26.590 --> 18:29.230
and scatter them after school.

18:36.300 --> 18:39.030
I returned the key to the staff office
 right after that,

18:39.030 --> 18:41.620
so I didn't think anyone would catch on.

18:42.170 --> 18:46.380
But thanks for coming forward, 
Sunao Aikawa.

18:47.300 --> 18:51.610
Or should I say 
Aikawa-san's little doppelgänger?

18:53.630 --> 18:56.380
What do you want from me?

18:56.810 --> 18:58.920
You don't have to worry.

18:58.920 --> 19:03.270
I won't send you to some lab 
where they'll dissect you.

19:05.020 --> 19:09.770
But I know exactly what you are 
without any experimentation.

19:10.210 --> 19:13.030
I know you're just like any normal human.

19:14.820 --> 19:16.030
I know...

19:16.030 --> 19:19.030
because I'm a doppelgänger like you.

19:20.870 --> 19:23.970
That means you're also a replica?

19:23.970 --> 19:25.230
"Replica"?

19:25.850 --> 19:27.390
Sunao...

19:27.390 --> 19:30.520
My original used to call me that.

19:30.520 --> 19:32.750
"Replica" and "original"?

19:33.150 --> 19:34.550
Now I get it.

19:34.550 --> 19:37.550
You came up with those terms yourselves.

19:41.050 --> 19:43.070
S-Senpai?

19:43.070 --> 19:48.810
So now that we finally know each other,
 can I ask you something?

19:49.550 --> 19:53.570
Is there a way to heal an original 
who's very badly injured?

19:53.570 --> 19:58.320
Or is there a way to transfer 
that injury to a replica?

20:03.080 --> 20:05.330
Tell me, replica.

20:05.330 --> 20:09.270
If you die for the original, 
will it save her?

20:13.110 --> 20:15.420
Well, I...

20:16.360 --> 20:18.090
All I know...

20:19.110 --> 20:21.560
...is that if a replica dies, 
we can be reborn.

20:21.560 --> 20:22.780
Meaning?

20:23.490 --> 20:28.260
If a replica dies, the original 
can still summon us back to life.

20:28.940 --> 20:31.470
As long as the original is unharmed.

20:31.470 --> 20:33.940
But not the other way around?

20:33.940 --> 20:37.570
So if the original dies, that's it for us?

20:38.440 --> 20:41.450
But can we sacrifice ourselves 
for the originals?

20:41.450 --> 20:45.930
Like, if Sunao Aikawa is about to die,
can you die in her place to save her—

20:45.930 --> 20:47.640
Let her go.

20:50.540 --> 20:51.990
Aki-kun.

20:51.990 --> 20:53.020
How?

20:53.620 --> 20:55.300
I'm a replica, too.

20:55.300 --> 20:58.600
If you have any questions, 
I'll answer them for you.

21:01.750 --> 21:04.400
Wait, is Hironaka-san also like us?

21:04.400 --> 21:07.360
Is the literature club 
a hangout for replicas?

21:07.360 --> 21:10.100
No, she's not. Ricchan's a normal, uh...

21:10.910 --> 21:14.930
Anyway, we don't know much 
about ourselves, either.

21:15.320 --> 21:17.440
We're as clueless as you are.

21:18.280 --> 21:19.540
Fine.

21:20.580 --> 21:21.700
If you say so.

21:23.200 --> 21:26.120
All right. I guess we're done here.

21:32.710 --> 21:33.960
Nao.

21:33.960 --> 21:35.040
Are you okay?

21:36.740 --> 21:37.950
Sorry.

21:41.840 --> 21:44.720
That was dumb. 
Hironaka told me everything.

21:44.720 --> 21:46.590
Why put yourself in danger?

21:47.490 --> 21:49.450
And I told you not to follow it up.

21:49.450 --> 21:51.850
I'm sorry. But...

21:52.690 --> 21:54.850
I wanted to talk with her myself.

21:55.520 --> 21:59.770
What if we aren't the only replicas here?

22:18.800 --> 22:21.800
<b>Translation: Gad Onyeneho

23:19.320 --> 23:21.940
Yeah. I'll only be there on the first day.

23:22.260 --> 23:23.440
And you?

23:26.060 --> 23:27.300
Okay.

23:27.300 --> 23:28.760
Yeah, you're right.

23:29.290 --> 23:30.360
But...

23:30.870 --> 23:33.600
The literature club is going for broke.

23:35.160 --> 23:38.440
Hopefully, it'll be a sunny Seiryo Fest.
