1. You fall in love with someone...Copy !req
2. confess that love...Copy !req
3. and become a couple.Copy !req
4. Everyone would say that's a wonderful thing.Copy !req
5. But they're wrong!Copy !req
6. Love is war!Copy !req
7. The person who falls in love loses!Copy !req
8. Oh.Copy !req
9. What's this?Copy !req
10. Oh, the headmaster confiscated it
from a student.Copy !req
11. STILL HASN'T DONE ITCopy !req
12. He said, "It's not proper reading material,
so dispose of it."Copy !req
13. Jeez. Why didn't he just do it himself?Copy !req
14. Not proper reading material?Copy !req
15. Crude!Copy !req
16. I mean lewd!Copy !req
17. This country is becoming lewd!Copy !req
18. What's got her skirt in a bunch?Copy !req
19. Maybe nudity with pubic hair?Copy !req
20. Shirogane showed great interest.Copy !req
21. - Kaguya, I wouldn't if I were you!
- Let's see.Copy !req
22. A survey. "When was your 'first time?'"Copy !req
23. "By high school. 34%."Copy !req
24. No way! There's no way
that many are doing it!Copy !req
25. 34%!Copy !req
26. In other words, more than a third!Copy !req
27. One out of three people
means there's a high likelihoodCopy !req
28. DID ITCopy !req
29. DID ITCopy !req
30. that one of these three
have already had such an experience!Copy !req
31. I-It's only that high
because the respondentsCopy !req
32. are the people who read
this kind of magazine, right?Copy !req
33. Oh, you mean "sample selection bias."Copy !req
34. Yes, there can't actually be
that many people.Copy !req
35. Right?Copy !req
36. Really?Copy !req
37. This percentage seems about right to me.Copy !req
38. In fact, it's probably low.Copy !req
39. Um, I don't even think I need to ask,Copy !req
40. but have you had
that kind of experience, Kaguya?Copy !req
41. Yes, the first was a long time ago.Copy !req
42. Huh. The area code for Aomori is 017.
That's surprising.Copy !req
43. Isn't that normal
for most high school students?Copy !req
44. You two must not have been raised
in a loving environment.Copy !req
45. M-Maybe I should hurry up
and get a boyfriend.Copy !req
46. The area code for Oshamanbe
in Hokkaido is 01377... and 013...Copy !req
47. But I'm sure Father would never allow it.Copy !req
48. Kaguya realizes there's a nervous
component to their reactions.Copy !req
49. When humans realize
they've gotten a late startCopy !req
50. compared to those around them,
they get nervous.Copy !req
51. Then that anxiety makes them
succumb to the emotional needCopy !req
52. of finding a romantic partner. In short...Copy !req
53. I'm too late to the party?Copy !req
54. I'M FALLING BEHIND?Copy !req
55. I HAVE TO GET A GIRLFRIEND!Copy !req
56. SHINOMIYA, GO OUT WITH ME!Copy !req
57. Shinomiya, go out with me!Copy !req
58. Confess your love!Copy !req
59. Kaguya's objective of the day was decided.Copy !req
60. The whole thing is ridiculous!Copy !req
61. Oh, President,
I heard you were very popular.Copy !req
62. She instigates.Copy !req
63. Don't you have a girlfriend?Copy !req
64. She instigates some more!Copy !req
65. No, I don't.Copy !req
66. I don't have that kind of relationship
with a particular person. Not right now.Copy !req
67. "Not right now"!Copy !req
68. An expression that hints
at the existence of a girlfriend long ago,Copy !req
69. but even if he's never gone out
with anyone, it isn't a lie!Copy !req
70. It's an expression loved by people
the world over, from the young to the elderly!Copy !req
71. That's right! Miyuki Shirogane
has never had a romantic experience!Copy !req
72. And yet it can't be said
that he isn't popular.Copy !req
73. In fact, he is quite popular.Copy !req
74. Perhaps it should be said
birds of a feather flock together.Copy !req
75. Or perhaps we should consider that
in many cases, oddballs are drawn to oddballs.Copy !req
76. When the trend is only dangerous
characters being attracted to you,Copy !req
77. WHAT IS THIS HAIR?Copy !req
78. you won't reach a romantic relationship.Copy !req
79. WHAT IS THIS SMOKE?Copy !req
80. Why am I so popular?Copy !req
81. And so, despite having no experience,Copy !req
82. Shirogane was supremely confident
in his own popularity.Copy !req
83. The women must be attracted
to my overflowing intelligence.Copy !req
84. Should I feel guilty?Copy !req
85. Yes, this man possesses
both boundless confidence and pure chastity,Copy !req
86. Not right now.Copy !req
87. a combination that has made him...Copy !req
88. Not right now.Copy !req
89. a twisted monster virgin!Copy !req
90. Oh. Then of course you've done it, right?Copy !req
91. But even that monster has a weakness.Copy !req
92. He is still a virgin.Copy !req
93. It would be easy to lie.Copy !req
94. But telling an experienced person
that I have experienceCopy !req
95. would be like a movie neophyte claiming
knowledge about movies to a film buff,Copy !req
96. thinking they can trick the person!Copy !req
97. Supposing I did lie to her...Copy !req
98. I have tons of experience!Copy !req
99. You're bragging about it?Copy !req
100. Are you that embarrassed
about having your virginity exposed?Copy !req
101. How cute.Copy !req
102. She'd see through me!Copy !req
103. I-If you're that curious,
you can always ask me directly.Copy !req
104. The best he can do is bluff.Copy !req
105. Really?Copy !req
106. I know you have a little sister, President,Copy !req
107. so you probably
do it with her all the time.Copy !req
108. Oh, that...Copy !req
109. Of course not! Are you a moron?Copy !req
110. Well, you're family.Copy !req
111. I did it to my newborn nephew.Copy !req
112. It was videotaped.Copy !req
113. You're a loon!Copy !req
114. Good times.Copy !req
115. It's not good to be excessively afraid
of physical contact with other people.Copy !req
116. I guess that's the dark side
of modern society.Copy !req
117. No, it's you!Copy !req
118. You're the dark side of the nobility!Copy !req
119. What's so strange?Copy !req
120. You must do it a lot to your dog Pesu,
don't you, Chika?Copy !req
121. - You do?
- No! Please don't drag me into this!Copy !req
122. The Shinomiya family upbringing
is this perverse?Copy !req
123. She's so ignorant of the ways of the world
that she thinks it's common sense?Copy !req
124. Shinomiya...Copy !req
125. Let me ask you this.Copy !req
126. Do you know what it means
by "first time"?Copy !req
127. Please don't make light of me.Copy !req
128. As a lady, I know that much.Copy !req
129. It's referring to kissing.Copy !req
130. Honestly.Copy !req
131. Kaguya Shinomiya.Copy !req
132. As the daughter
of the owner of a conglomerate,Copy !req
133. she's been protected
from sexual information for 16 years now.Copy !req
134. The beginning and end
of her sexual education was kissing.Copy !req
135. Anything more than that
she picked up from urban legends.Copy !req
136. So the stork
has nothing to do with it, right?Copy !req
137. She's a "daughter in a box"
taken to the extreme!Copy !req
138. Naturally, she has no idea
what "your first time" refers to.Copy !req
139. Shinomiya...Copy !req
140. President, I'll take this one.Copy !req
141. Kaguya...Copy !req
142. In this case, "first time" means...Copy !req
143. And then...Copy !req
144. puts...Copy !req
145. in...Copy !req
146. After that...Copy !req
147. the two...Copy !req
148. moving...Copy !req
149. like beasts!Copy !req
150. A-After all...Copy !req
151. the law is you do that kind of thing
after you get married!Copy !req
152. I thought my heart was gonna stop!Copy !req
153. Today's match...Copy !req
154. Shinomiya loses.Copy !req
155. President, I disapprove
of illicit intercourse.Copy !req
156. So would you go do it to yourself?Copy !req
157. It's a quiet night, isn't it?Copy !req
158. Yes.Copy !req
159. It's Fujiwara's turn to walk Pesu today,
so she had to go home early.Copy !req
160. Pesu! Pesu!Copy !req
161. And Ishigami was in and out of here
before I even noticed.Copy !req
162. He gets the perfect attendance award
in his own way.Copy !req
163. You've mellowed out
since we first started here, Shinomiya.Copy !req
164. You mean I've gained weight?Copy !req
165. No, "mellow," not "marshmallow."
Your personality.Copy !req
166. Like making small talk.Copy !req
167. Yes.Copy !req
168. I've been making an effort
to become slightly more likeable.Copy !req
169. That's what it is?Copy !req
170. Well, it also helps that I have a better
understanding of you as a person.Copy !req
171. You understand me?Copy !req
172. Really?Copy !req
173. We've been working together here
at student council for half a year now.Copy !req
174. I think I have
a pretty good understanding of you.Copy !req
175. Then I'll test you.Copy !req
176. Test?Copy !req
177. Yes, let's test how much
you really know about me.Copy !req
178. Do you know the game "20 Questions"?Copy !req
179. 20 Questions!Copy !req
180. It's a game in which one player
gets 20 questionsCopy !req
181. Is it smaller than my palm?Copy !req
182. to guess what the other player
is thinking of.Copy !req
183. Is it edible?Copy !req
184. But the player can only ask questions
that can be answered with a yes or no.Copy !req
185. I'm thinking of an eraser.Copy !req
186. If the guesser gets it correctly
within 20 questions, they win.Copy !req
187. If they can't, the other person wins.Copy !req
188. But if you get 20 questions,
you can pretty much guess it.Copy !req
189. If you really know me, though...Copy !req
190. you should be able to guess it
with half that, ten questions.Copy !req
191. I see.Copy !req
192. That's fine.Copy !req
193. Are you ready?Copy !req
194. Yes.Copy !req
195. 20 CHAMBER BELGIAN REVOLVER
"HENRION, DASSY, AND HEUSCHEN"Copy !req
196. Then my first question...Copy !req
197. One, is it something that can be touched?Copy !req
198. Yes.Copy !req
199. It isn't a word or concept.Copy !req
200. - Two, is it an electrical appliance?
- No.Copy !req
201. - Three, is it something that's warm or cold?
- Yes.Copy !req
202. Considering her answers,
it could be a living thing,Copy !req
203. food, a substance
like warm water or ice,Copy !req
204. ICECopy !req
205. a bonfire or some kind
of temperature control device?Copy !req
206. FIRE...Copy !req
207. ETC., ETC...Copy !req
208. But since this is a test
of how well I understand Shinomiya,Copy !req
209. the answer must be something
connected to Kaguya Shinomiya.Copy !req
210. Therefore...Copy !req
211. Four, is it something you own?Copy !req
212. No.Copy !req
213. Five, is it something you touched today?Copy !req
214. No.Copy !req
215. Six, is it something that's at your house?Copy !req
216. No.Copy !req
217. Three noes in a row.Copy !req
218. I thought it was something Shinomiya
possessed, but now I don't know.Copy !req
219. I'll explore Shinomiya's psychology
a little more.Copy !req
220. All right.Copy !req
221. Seven, is it something you like?Copy !req
222. Yes.Copy !req
223. What is that expression?Copy !req
224. She looks kind of embarrassed or bashful.Copy !req
225. Don't tell me.Copy !req
226. Eight...Copy !req
227. Is it a living thing?Copy !req
228. Yes.Copy !req
229. It's...Copy !req
230. It's me, isn't it?Copy !req
231. Calm down! Let's confirm it!Copy !req
232. You can touch it.Copy !req
233. It isn't an electrical appliance.Copy !req
234. It isn't room temperature.Copy !req
235. Shinomiya doesn't own it.Copy !req
236. She hasn't touched it,
and of course, it isn't in her house.Copy !req
237. It all matches!Copy !req
238. And it's something that Shinomiya likes!Copy !req
239. Is this...Copy !req
240. a roundabout confession of love?Copy !req
241. Nine, in what way do you like it?Copy !req
242. As a friend? As a human being?Copy !req
243. Or something else?Copy !req
244. No answer.Copy !req
245. I can only answer with a yes or no.Copy !req
246. Crap!Copy !req
247. I'm so flustered, I wasted a shot!Copy !req
248. I've got to calm down.Copy !req
249. It's possible
that the answer is someone else!Copy !req
250. Okay.Copy !req
251. Ten, is it something
that's very intelligent, handsome,Copy !req
252. with somewhat light-colored hair
and well-defined eyes?Copy !req
253. It's me!Copy !req
254. It's me!Copy !req
255. It's definitely me!Copy !req
256. Jeez, Shinomiya...Copy !req
257. What a twisted way to confess your love.Copy !req
258. We've been through a lot together, huh?Copy !req
259. That's right.Copy !req
260. Every time, I understood more
about the person named Shinomiya.Copy !req
261. And...Copy !req
262. Huh?Copy !req
263. Well, you're out of questions.Copy !req
264. Give me your answer.Copy !req
265. That's right.Copy !req
266. To a certain extent, I understand
what kind of person Shinomiya is.Copy !req
267. At a time like this, she always...Copy !req
268. My answer is...Copy !req
269. a dog.Copy !req
270. Correct.Copy !req
271. PESU (DOG)Copy !req
272. More precisely,
Fujiwara's dog, Pesu.Copy !req
273. Good boy! Good boy!
You're so cute!Copy !req
274. So shall we
go home?Copy !req
275. It's getting late, after all.Copy !req
276. Right.Copy !req
277. The results of today's test...Copy !req
278. BECAUSE WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND DONE,
SHIROGANE UNDERSTOOD SHINOMIYA'S NATURE.Copy !req
279. Pass.Copy !req
280. OF SOMEONE...Copy !req
281. Kaguya Shinomiya is the daughter
of the Shinomiya family,Copy !req
282. which was part of one
of the old financial combines.Copy !req
283. Her life was decided when she was born
or perhaps even before she was born.Copy !req
284. For example, this...Copy !req
285. 2,574 times.Copy !req
286. That's the number of timesCopy !req
287. Kaguya Shinomiya has gazed
out the window on the way to school.Copy !req
288. But one day...Copy !req
289. A cat?Copy !req
290. Yes.Copy !req
291. It's lodged itself in there deep
near the engine.Copy !req
292. I'll arrange for another car,
so if you would wait for a short while...Copy !req
293. In that case, I'll just walk there.Copy !req
294. At least go with Hayasaka.Copy !req
295. I don't mind.Copy !req
296. If she waits for me to change clothes,
she'll be late,Copy !req
297. and I think she'll be fine
going on her own.Copy !req
298. There. You see? I'll be fine.Copy !req
299. Miss Kaguya!Copy !req
300. See you later.Copy !req
301. She was slightly out of breath
as she ran under the refreshing sun.Copy !req
302. All right.Copy !req
303. I may never get the chance
to walk to school again.Copy !req
304. I have to take advantage
of this precious opportunity.Copy !req
305. So...Copy !req
306. I believe the president
rides his bike to school from Setagaya,Copy !req
307. so he probably takes Meiji Street.Copy !req
308. The president always gets to school
on the late side,Copy !req
309. so if I wait on the bridge, I'm sure...Copy !req
310. Well, if I don't hurry,
I'll miss the president.Copy !req
311. What's wrong?Copy !req
312. If you've got a problem,
briefly tell me what it is.Copy !req
313. The pedestrian crossing!Copy !req
314. The pedestrian crossing?Copy !req
315. All right, I'll cross with you.Copy !req
316. Okay. Would you let go of me now?Copy !req
317. There are a lot of pedestrian crossings
on the way to school!Copy !req
318. Before today,Copy !req
319. how did you go to school?Copy !req
320. With a friend.Copy !req
321. Yeti always held my hand
when we crossed.Copy !req
322. The Abominable Snowman?Copy !req
323. Her name is Ienaga,
so her nickname is Yeti.Copy !req
324. But now that we're in the upper grades,Copy !req
325. she said there's no more
group walking to school.Copy !req
326. So now, I'm on my own.Copy !req
327. Her thinking is still totally lower grade.Copy !req
328. I had a better head on my shoulders
even when I was in the lower grades.Copy !req
329. I don't want to be alone!Copy !req
330. I want to be with everyone else!Copy !req
331. Listen.Copy !req
332. Just because going to school in a group
is officially over,Copy !req
333. that doesn't mean
you have to walk to school by yourself.Copy !req
334. You should meet up somewhere
with your friendCopy !req
335. or pick her up at her house
and walk together.Copy !req
336. Right?Copy !req
337. You're smart! Are you a genius?Copy !req
338. What can I say?Copy !req
339. Mikiti!Copy !req
340. Yeti!Copy !req
341. Well, you're fine now, right?Copy !req
342. Go on.Copy !req
343. Right!Copy !req
344. Bye-bye, genius girl!Copy !req
345. Good morning! Surprised to see me?Copy !req
346. Good morning! You did surprise me!Copy !req
347. - Let's go to school together!
- Yeah!Copy !req
348. Well, where am I?Copy !req
349. Eight twenty-five.Copy !req
350. I'm going to be late.Copy !req
351. If they find out I was late,Copy !req
352. I'll never be allowed
to go to school on my own again.Copy !req
353. I wanted to try doing it even just once.Copy !req
354. Going to school with someone...Copy !req
355. President?Copy !req
356. Shinomiya?Copy !req
357. What are you doing here?Copy !req
358. The bell's gonna ring!Copy !req
359. You, too. President, are you going to be—Copy !req
360. I'm not late yet!Copy !req
361. I've never been late yet!Copy !req
362. You're the problem, Shinomiya!Copy !req
363. If you walk, you'll definitely be late!Copy !req
364. If a member of the Shuchiin
Student Council is late,Copy !req
365. it sets a bad example!Copy !req
366. Hop on the back!Copy !req
367. We've gotta fly!Copy !req
368. Being late is bad,
but two people on a bike is okay?Copy !req
369. Be quiet!
When it comes to student council,Copy !req
370. school rules take priority
over traffic rules!Copy !req
371. Days later...Copy !req
372. Kaguya has returned to her usual routine
of going to school by car.Copy !req
373. - Can I go to your house, Yeti?
- Sure! Come over!Copy !req
374. But sometimes...Copy !req
375. she remembers that one day and smiles.Copy !req
376. Go back to the forest.Copy !req
