1. Meow.Copy !req
2. Is that right?Copy !req
3. See? That's cute!Copy !req
4. Yes. Cat ears are your time, Fujiwara,
as to Shinomiya is me.Copy !req
5. I know, right?Copy !req
6. In other words,Copy !req
7. the time you brought was originally
Shinomiya and cat ears alone.Copy !req
8. You're scaring me!Copy !req
9. Cat ears and girls!Copy !req
10. Mutualism!Copy !req
11. There are relationships in this world
that are naturally symbiotic.Copy !req
12. Clovers and honeybees!Copy !req
13. Crocodiles and hummingbirds!Copy !req
14. Avocados and soy sauce!Copy !req
15. And cats...Copy !req
16. Cats, which a great majority
of humans love.Copy !req
17. And here we have Kaguya Shinomiya,
a graceful girl.Copy !req
18. How will the compatibility
of those two things be reflected in him?Copy !req
19. Cute!Copy !req
20. A marriage!Copy !req
21. Is it really necessary to cosplay
for the welcome party?Copy !req
22. Yes!Copy !req
23. France is the biggest cosplaying nation
right after Japan.Copy !req
24. With cosplaying, you don't need words.Copy !req
25. There's no better way
to overcome the language barrierCopy !req
26. and deepen our friendship!Copy !req
27. But still...Copy !req
28. What do you think, President?Copy !req
29. Cute!Copy !req
30. A marriage!Copy !req
31. Well...Copy !req
32. Cute!Copy !req
33. Not bad, I guess.Copy !req
34. No good! Whenever I look at Shinomiya,
my face tenses up!Copy !req
35. I need to calm down and look normal!Copy !req
36. That's a scary look!Copy !req
37. Not much of a reaction.Copy !req
38. It looks like this kind of thing
doesn't suit me.Copy !req
39. It'd probably look better on someone
with more charm, like Miss Fujiwara.Copy !req
40. Wh-What is it?Copy !req
41. What's what?Copy !req
42. You wear a pair, too, President.Copy !req
43. Meow.Copy !req
44. How can I put it? Um...Copy !req
45. Pointless.Copy !req
46. You don't hold back, do you?Copy !req
47. You knew beforehand
that this wouldn't look good on me.Copy !req
48. True!Copy !req
49. Cuuute!Copy !req
50. A marriage!Copy !req
51. What? The president just has cat ears on!Copy !req
52. The reaction of others aside,
it was a perfect combo in Kaguya's mind!Copy !req
53. What should I do?
I can't get my mouth to stop smiling!Copy !req
54. It'll be obvious to him
that I think he looks cute!Copy !req
55. What's wrong, Shinomiya?Copy !req
56. Since it's come to this...Copy !req
57. Oh, it's nothing.Copy !req
58. Skill... Biting one's tongue!Copy !req
59. But that's not a perfect method.Copy !req
60. A half-grin remained on her face.Copy !req
61. What's the smirk for, Shinomiya?Copy !req
62. Is there something
you'd like to say about my cat ears?Copy !req
63. No, not at all.Copy !req
64. They look...Copy !req
65. very good on you.Copy !req
66. That expression!Copy !req
67. As if looking at a bug!Copy !req
68. Does it mean I look so terrible
that I barely qualify as human?Copy !req
69. Miss Fujiwara,
let's take a photo of the president.Copy !req
70. Good idea!Copy !req
71. We have to preserve this moment
for future generations.Copy !req
72. She means for extortion!Copy !req
73. She'll put it away and use it
as a bargaining chip someday!Copy !req
74. Forget about it!Copy !req
75. Don't be like that.Copy !req
76. Kaguya, you, too.Copy !req
77. Me, too?Copy !req
78. Shinomiya, too?Copy !req
79. If she takes my photo,
she'll have me by the short hairs.Copy !req
80. But...Copy !req
81. at the same time, I'll legally be able
to obtain a cute photo of her like this!Copy !req
82. A balanced scale!Copy !req
83. The weight of the merit
and demerit are the same!Copy !req
84. If you're going to take it,
do it now, Fujiwara!Copy !req
85. Shirogane chooses the cute side.Copy !req
86. A side he would normally never choose!Copy !req
87. O-Oh. Take it with the 4K thing!Copy !req
88. R-Right!Copy !req
89. Damn it! She's even cuter
when I'm standing right next to her!Copy !req
90. The muscles in my face are stiffening!Copy !req
91. I can't believe that looks so good on him.Copy !req
92. No! My mouth is smiling by itself again!Copy !req
93. C-Could both of you
give me a cheerful smile?Copy !req
94. - I can't!
- I can't!Copy !req
95. I want to get closer to his cuteness!Copy !req
96. I have to burn this image into my memory
from a shorter distance!Copy !req
97. Why are you glaring at each other?Copy !req
98. If you're going to fight,
I'm going to confiscate these!Copy !req
99. NABCopy !req
100. What was I doing?Copy !req
101. I feel like I was possessed.Copy !req
102. Scary!Copy !req
103. - Cat ears are scary!
- Cat ears are scary!Copy !req
104. Results of today's match...Copy !req
105. Fujiwara loses.Copy !req
106. HENCEFORTH, ALL MEMBERSCopy !req
107. Um, the welcome party is next Monday.Copy !req
108. Other than making decorations, we need
to go shopping for souvenir sweets.Copy !req
109. We probably need two people for that.Copy !req
110. We'll need a few other things, too,Copy !req
111. and enough for all of the participants,
so that's a lot of stuff.Copy !req
112. Which means giving up our day off
to go shopping.Copy !req
113. What a pain.Copy !req
114. Boy, what a pain.Copy !req
115. Who'd wanna do that?Copy !req
116. You know, Shinomiya?Copy !req
117. Well, true.Copy !req
118. We'll be in trouble
if no one wants to do it.Copy !req
119. Well, if it's really necessary, I could do it.Copy !req
120. Oh!Copy !req
121. Why don't we play a game,
and the losers have to go?Copy !req
122. - A game?
- A game?Copy !req
123. Yes! The banned word game!Copy !req
124. The banned word game.Copy !req
125. Yes!Copy !req
126. Here's an example!Copy !req
127. I write a word like this
and pass it to the person on my right.Copy !req
128. Hold it up and don't look at it.Copy !req
129. That's the word that person can't say.Copy !req
130. I get it. So you don't know
what your own banned word is.Copy !req
131. Simple.Copy !req
132. You're out!Copy !req
133. Okay, let's do it for real!Copy !req
134. I pass it to the person on my right.Copy !req
135. In that case...Copy !req
136. I should write a word
that Fujiwara would be likely to say.Copy !req
137. But the second and third place people
will go shopping.Copy !req
138. FIRST PLACE DOESN'T GOCopy !req
139. Well, a man is needed
for the physical labor,Copy !req
140. while no one knows more
about traditional sweets than Shinomiya.Copy !req
141. It's just a matter of efficiency.Copy !req
142. Therefore, I need to let Fujiwara win
while I beat Shinomiya.Copy !req
143. MECopy !req
144. I'm sure Fujiwara would never say this!Copy !req
145. I'll win for sure!Copy !req
146. All right, are we ready?Copy !req
147. Yo, yo, let's get started, yo!Copy !req
148. Fujiwara?Copy !req
149. When I play da banned word game,Copy !req
150. people always be choosin' words n' phrases
I be sayin', but not now, yo!Copy !req
151. I be changin' da way I speak,
so my words be different, yo! Too bad, man!Copy !req
152. No!Copy !req
153. Don't look at her!
I don't want her to lose!Copy !req
154. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!Copy !req
155. Crap, she'll end up saying, "check-it-out."Copy !req
156. Kaguya, what ya think your word is, yo?Copy !req
157. Say "Hooo!"Copy !req
158. Say "Hooo!"Copy !req
159. Say "Hooo"...Copy !req
160. That's childish!Copy !req
161. There's a surefire way to win this game.Copy !req
162. That's by not talking at all!Copy !req
163. Say "Yay!" Say "Yay!"Copy !req
164. Shinomiya...Copy !req
165. Say "Yay!"Copy !req
166. We won't get anywhere like that.Copy !req
167. At the bare minimum,
speak enough to make it a conversation.Copy !req
168. If you insist.Copy !req
169. Fine.Copy !req
170. Inevitable behavior.Copy !req
171. "That person would do this."
"This person would say this."Copy !req
172. This game produces a situation that draws
the designated word out of your opponent.Copy !req
173. But how am I going to get her
to say that banned word?Copy !req
174. My instinct is telling me, "You've spent
half a year trying to get her to say that!Copy !req
175. It's impossible!"Copy !req
176. But wait!Copy !req
177. I can steer the conversation towards
something that Shinomiya loves doing.Copy !req
178. Fujiwara,Copy !req
179. is there something you hate?Copy !req
180. Shirogane passed
the word "hate" on to Fujiwara,Copy !req
181. a word that can easily
be connected to "love."Copy !req
182. What I hate?Copy !req
183. Let's see.Copy !req
184. People often tell me I'm not good
at reading a situation, yo.Copy !req
185. But they also say that's a good thing, yo.Copy !req
186. But when they talk about love and stuff,
they don't include me!Copy !req
187. They say I'd be sure
to step on a land mine!Copy !req
188. That's sound judgment.Copy !req
189. When I think about making problems
for people without even realizing it,Copy !req
190. it makes me sad.Copy !req
191. That's what I hate.Copy !req
192. Miss Fujiwara...Copy !req
193. I've never thought
you've caused problems for me.Copy !req
194. In fact,Copy !req
195. there are many people who've been helped
by your straightforwardness.Copy !req
196. Kaguya...Copy !req
197. Really?Copy !req
198. You don't hate me?Copy !req
199. Well, I mean... I...Copy !req
200. love you.Copy !req
201. You're out, yo!Copy !req
202. Inevitable behavior!Copy !req
203. When all is said and done,
it was inevitable...Copy !req
204. that caring Kaguya would try
to comfort a depressed Fujiwara!Copy !req
205. Fujiwara read that.Copy !req
206. That was nasty!Copy !req
207. Was all that a lie?Copy !req
208. It wasn't a lie, but a bluff, yo!Copy !req
209. Of course people would include me
in conversations about love interests, yo!Copy !req
210. Since we've gotten this far,
the rest should be easy.Copy !req
211. I'll lose automatically by letting
my guard down and following her lead.Copy !req
212. She's got everything she needs to win.Copy !req
213. But...Copy !req
214. Hey, when it rains, it pours, yo!Copy !req
215. was that the truth?Copy !req
216. She said it was a bluff,Copy !req
217. but a bluff has power because
it's a pinch of a lie mixed with truth.Copy !req
218. It must be nice, having no troubles.Copy !req
219. If that's the case,
how much of it was a lie?Copy !req
220. When Fujiwara was speaking
about feeling alienated,Copy !req
221. were those words and her eyes all lies?Copy !req
222. If it's possible that they weren't...Copy !req
223. then, I'm playing this game wrong.Copy !req
224. I can't stand the idea of hurting others
for the sake of my own self-interest.Copy !req
225. That's my credo,
and this situation relates to it.Copy !req
226. Prioritizing my own circumstances
and purposely losing...Copy !req
227. That would be self-interest
and truly alienate her!Copy !req
228. The idea of going out shopping
with Shinomiya may be appealing,Copy !req
229. but...Copy !req
230. I can't betray my own conviction!Copy !req
231. Fujiwara...Copy !req
232. I'm going to get serious here!Copy !req
233. You're out, yo!Copy !req
234. Yes! I beat the president, too!Copy !req
235. Yay! Yay!Copy !req
236. Inevitable behavior.Copy !req
237. An action a person would necessarily take
given certain circumstances.Copy !req
238. And predicting that
is the essential point of the game.Copy !req
239. Shopping, huh?Copy !req
240. Well, we lost,
so I guess we can't complain.Copy !req
241. The banned word game is a game that
demands understanding of your opponents.Copy !req
242. Ah, dammit.Copy !req
243. I lost.Copy !req
244. We're going to buy the souvenirs.Copy !req
245. Results of today's match...
Utter defeat for Shirogane.Copy !req
246. All right! I'm looking forward
to seeing what you get, yo!Copy !req
247. "Check-it-out"?Copy !req
248. The president said we'd talk
about shopping after he got back.Copy !req
249. Oh.Copy !req
250. The day he bought a smartphone,Copy !req
251. we exchanged e-mail addresses
and phone numbers.Copy !req
252. But I've been waiting and waiting,
and he still hasn't contacted me!Copy !req
253. He has no intention
of sending me a message first!Copy !req
254. "President, I'm looking forward
to tomorrow—"Copy !req
255. What are you doing?Copy !req
256. Well, I thought
I'd send a text on your behalf.Copy !req
257. Don't! I'm not sending the first text!Copy !req
258. All this beating around the bush...Copy !req
259. Lady Kaguya, you're in love
with President Shirogane, aren't you?Copy !req
260. I have feelings for the president.Copy !req
261. Then...Copy !req
262. But I'm only interested
because he's got the elements I lack.Copy !req
263. It's definitely not love.Copy !req
264. Then, what if the secretary started
dating President Shirogane?Copy !req
265. Well?Copy !req
266. You've got it wrong!Copy !req
267. I wouldn't want the president
to take Miss Fujiwara away from me!Copy !req
268. Despite appearances,
she's my dear friend.Copy !req
269. Fujiwara
Octopus
Look! A live octopus!Copy !req
270. She's your dear friend, right?Copy !req
271. If it weighs on your mind that much,Copy !req
272. Lady Kaguya...Copy !req
273. instead of a text, why not call?Copy !req
274. C-Call?Copy !req
275. He's expecting a text.Copy !req
276. Exploit that carelessness,
and attack this way!Copy !req
277. Carelessness? Attack?Copy !req
278. It's the perfect plan.Copy !req
279. Before Lady Kaguya quibbles about it,
click-click there.Copy !req
280. Here you go.Copy !req
281. Wait! I'm not mentally prepared!Copy !req
282. Hello?Copy !req
283. This is Shinomiya.Copy !req
284. President, is that you?Copy !req
285. I'm Miyuki's father.Copy !req
286. U-Um, is the president...
I mean, is Shirogane there?Copy !req
287. I am Shirogane.Copy !req
288. No, I mean...Copy !req
289. I-is Miyuki there?Copy !req
290. Oh, my son?Copy !req
291. Miyuki! A girl's on the phone for you!Copy !req
292. A girl's calling for him?Copy !req
293. Wha... You don't answer
another person's cell phone, Dad!Copy !req
294. It's me.Copy !req
295. It's Shinomiya.Copy !req
296. Oh, Shinomiya?Copy !req
297. I was calling about the plan for tomorrow.Copy !req
298. Is now okay?Copy !req
299. Sure.Copy !req
300. I'm in the tub, but that's fine.Copy !req
301. The tub?Copy !req
302. Then he's naked, huh?Copy !req
303. Lady Kaguya, right now you're talking
to someone who's completely exposed.Copy !req
304. It's muffled on your end.Copy !req
305. I-I'll call you back!Copy !req
306. No problem.Copy !req
307. My phone is waterproof.Copy !req
308. There is a problem.Copy !req
309. How about we meet tomorrow
at 11 am in front of Hachiko?Copy !req
310. Okay.Copy !req
311. We'll buy the sweets, then go to Hands.Copy !req
312. I guess that's about it.Copy !req
313. Right.Copy !req
314. Well, I'll see you tomorrow.Copy !req
315. Yes.Copy !req
316. Shinomiya—Copy !req
317. What? What were you about to say?Copy !req
318. I'm going to sleep.Copy !req
319. LOOKS LIKE TONIGHT WILL GET PRETTY COLD,Copy !req
320. Good for you. Your first text.Copy !req
321. Results of today's match... Kaguya wins.Copy !req
322. It seems Shibuya Station is flooded.Copy !req
323. I'm going.Copy !req
324. The president is waiting for me.Copy !req
325. I have to go!Copy !req
326. There's no way he's there.Copy !req
327. A text canceling our plans...Copy !req
328. But it's the first text
Shinomiya has sent me, right?Copy !req
329. So I'll call that a win for today.Copy !req
330. Thankfully, my phone is waterproof.Copy !req
331. TOOK 30 MINUTES
TO SEND THE CANCELLATION TEXT.Copy !req
332. We got it ready in time!Copy !req
333. Good work, everyone!Copy !req
334. Headmaster, next time,
please don't tell us so last-minute.Copy !req
335. Understood!Copy !req
336. Well, everyone, have a good time!Copy !req
337. Can you speak French, Shinomiya?Copy !req
338. No. Not very well.Copy !req
339. How about you, President?Copy !req
340. You're not the president for nothing.Copy !req
341. I just prepared by studying the handbook.Copy !req
342. U-Um...Copy !req
343. Liar!Copy !req
344. You can speak French?Copy !req
345. Yes!Copy !req
346. My mom is a former diplomat,Copy !req
347. so ever since I was little, she drummed
various languages into my head.Copy !req
348. Wait a second.Copy !req
349. Am I the only person here
who can't speak French?Copy !req
350. He's completely isolated!Copy !req
351. Wh-Wh-What should I do?Copy !req
352. If they figure out
I'm the only one who doesn't speak it...Copy !req
353. President of student council
of a Japanese school can't speak French?Copy !req
354. Maybe he's just dumb.Copy !req
355. HOW CUTE...Copy !req
356. This is bad, bad for my heart.Copy !req
357. Shirogane...Copy !req
358. why do you think I suddenly asked you
to prepare a party?Copy !req
359. I must determine...Copy !req
360. whether you're truly someone
to whom this academy can be entrusted.Copy !req
361. The real test begins now.Copy !req
362. Betsy...Copy !req
363. Yes.Copy !req
364. No need to go easy on him.Copy !req
365. Make mincemeat out of Miyuki Shirogane
with everything you've got.Copy !req
366. Are you sure?Copy !req
367. Betsy Beltoise, the vice-president
of the French school's student council.Copy !req
368. Her nickname is "The Wound-licking Razor."Copy !req
369. No one has ever been impervious
to her verbal attack.Copy !req
370. Hey.Copy !req
371. Betsy's sarcasm is like punching
someone you've just met in the face.Copy !req
372. Next, she provokes him as if simultaneously
insulting his parents and lover.Copy !req
373. On top of that,
she diminishes his characterCopy !req
374. in a way that would make
a man in his sixties break down in tears.Copy !req
375. THAT'S IT!Copy !req
376. Miyuki Shirogane!Copy !req
377. He smiles confidently in the face
of that merciless verbal onslaught?Copy !req
378. I'd be throwing up
while bowing down on the ground!Copy !req
379. You'd think he couldn't comprehend
what she was saying!Copy !req
380. My verbal assault isn't getting through!Copy !req
381. That's impossible!Copy !req
382. Betsy unleashes even stronger invective
against Shirogane.Copy !req
383. What was that?Copy !req
384. You...Copy !req
385. Oh, sorry.
You don't understand Japanese, do you?Copy !req
386. Kaguya menaces Betsy with language that'd
get the attention of the Broadcasting Code.Copy !req
387. Shinomiya?Copy !req
388. P-President!Copy !req
389. Don't get the wrong idea! That was...Copy !req
390. She... She's going to kill me!Copy !req
391. I'm sorry. I-It's okay.Copy !req
392. Japanese high school girls are scary!Copy !req
393. Oh, what did I do?Copy !req
394. Exhibition match. The Japanese school won.Copy !req
395. I bet you look down on me now.Copy !req
396. After being so foul-mouthed...Copy !req
397. This is like the old me.Copy !req
398. Like I said at the beginning,
I skimmed the French handbook.Copy !req
399. I couldn't have caught what you said.Copy !req
400. So, I have no idea
what you were saying to her.Copy !req
401. I just know you were mad
because she was badmouthing me.Copy !req
402. Thank you.Copy !req
403. President!Copy !req
404. That's one thing I...Copy !req
405. about you.Copy !req
406. What?Copy !req
407. What did you say?Copy !req
408. It's a secret.Copy !req
409. Hey, don't do that to me!Copy !req
410. It only makes me wanna know more!Copy !req
411. A secret is a secret.Copy !req
412. What did you say?Copy !req
413. Results of today's match...Copy !req
414. It wasn't in French.Copy !req
415. Both winners.Copy !req
416. - In Latin?
- No.Copy !req
417. - In Yiddish?
- No.Copy !req
418. - In Finnish?
- No.Copy !req
