1. The seasonal uniform change!Copy !req
2. It's been so muggy lately, you know?Copy !req
3. Even just changing into short sleeves
feels much more comfortable.Copy !req
4. Right.Copy !req
5. RESPONSIBILITY AND DUTYCopy !req
6. Relationship advice?Copy !req
7. Yes! I don't know what to do.Copy !req
8. But I heard that the student council
gives advice for that kind of thing, too.Copy !req
9. KAGUYA WANTS TO HANDLE ITCopy !req
10. You're the only one I can count on,
Miss Kaguya!Copy !req
11. Understood.Copy !req
12. The president here often says
that lending an ear to the students' troublesCopy !req
13. is also a duty of the student council.Copy !req
14. So,Copy !req
15. what's the trouble?Copy !req
16. I want to know how to break up
smoothly with my boyfriend.Copy !req
17. I thought it would be
two or three steps before that point!Copy !req
18. Advice about having a boyfriend.Copy !req
19. You're really popular, and I'm sure
you know a lot about love!Copy !req
20. But I've never even gone out with anyone,
so how could I possibly answer that?Copy !req
21. I knew I could come to you
for a great idea!Copy !req
22. Her expectations are too high!Copy !req
23. But Shinomiya gave romantic advice once,Copy !req
24. so there's no way
I can tell her it's beyond me!Copy !req
25. I'll just have to get through it somehow!Copy !req
26. Why do you want to break up?Copy !req
27. Actually, he suddenly asked me out.Copy !req
28. Bam!Copy !req
29. I said, "Okay" on the spur of the moment,Copy !req
30. but I didn't really know him.Copy !req
31. And I don't really know
how to communicate with him either.Copy !req
32. In fact, there's more distance
between us now than before.Copy !req
33. I feel guilty about it,Copy !req
34. so if it's going to be like this, I figured
maybe we're better off just breaking up.Copy !req
35. I see.Copy !req
36. Until just before,
you were strangers to each other.Copy !req
37. So I can see where you're coming from.Copy !req
38. You don't hate him, though, do you?Copy !req
39. Of course not. But I don't know
if what I feel for him is love.Copy !req
40. Why don't you start
by telling me his good points?Copy !req
41. What I like about him?Copy !req
42. Yes. Everyone has strong points
or something that's cute about them.Copy !req
43. For example, he's honest
or he does well academically.Copy !req
44. Maybe he studies hard
or he's actually really kindCopy !req
45. and can't turn his back
on someone who's in trouble.Copy !req
46. Maybe he has a menacing look.Copy !req
47. A menacing look is a drawback.Copy !req
48. No! Being bothered
by your own menacing look is cute!Copy !req
49. You like boys who have menacing looks?Copy !req
50. Forget I said that.Copy !req
51. The only person around you
with a menacing look that I can think of...Copy !req
52. That's the wrong idea.
Now let's continue.Copy !req
53. If you find one good thing about him
and start to appreciate that,Copy !req
54. you'll soon be able to see
many of his good points,Copy !req
55. and the next thing you know,
you're unable to take your eyes off of him.Copy !req
56. And if you see him every day...Copy !req
57. little by little, you'll fall in love.Copy !req
58. That's what an acquaintance told me!Copy !req
59. I'm not talking about me!Copy !req
60. Really?Copy !req
61. It's really not about me!Copy !req
62. Because there isn't anyone
I'm in love with!Copy !req
63. But the way you said it...Copy !req
64. I overheard!Copy !req
65. Miss Fujiwara?Copy !req
66. It's no fair to have girls' talk without me!Copy !req
67. Please leave an issue like that
to Love Detective Chika!Copy !req
68. LOVE DETECTIVE CHIKACopy !req
69. Why are you breathing hard?Copy !req
70. Actually, I was here from the beginning,Copy !req
71. but made a mad dash to the drama club
to borrow this costume.Copy !req
72. You're in a quandary, because you can't
find your feelings for him.Copy !req
73. Right?Copy !req
74. Yes.Copy !req
75. Then this great detective will find
that lost property called "love"Copy !req
76. and return it to you.Copy !req
77. So, imagine him flirting with another girl.Copy !req
78. What is this?Copy !req
79. Just try to imagine it.Copy !req
80. Gloomy.Copy !req
81. GLOOMY...Copy !req
82. Grrr.Copy !req
83. GRRR GRRRCopy !req
84. I didn't like that feeling.Copy !req
85. Right?Copy !req
86. In other words, that's jealousy.Copy !req
87. You don't like that image
because you like him.Copy !req
88. The more unpleasant the feeling,
the deeper the love!Copy !req
89. Love?Copy !req
90. So, you also like him, Miss Kashiwagi.Copy !req
91. No, there's no way.Copy !req
92. I don't feel that way about the president,
right? I mean, come on.Copy !req
93. You should take that feeling
and nurture it.Copy !req
94. I see.Copy !req
95. I suspected myself of being a cold person
for not being able to fall in love with someoneCopy !req
96. who went as far as professing
his love for me.Copy !req
97. But...Copy !req
98. you're right! I actually do love him!Copy !req
99. It's like she was talked into it!Copy !req
100. What should I do
to talk to him more naturally?Copy !req
101. I have to give
more appropriate advice, too!Copy !req
102. Good question.Copy !req
103. Cognitive balance.Copy !req
104. You can probably use
the Romeo and Juliet effect.Copy !req
105. - Romeo and Juliet?
- Romeo and Juliet?Copy !req
106. Romeo and Juliet's love faced obstacles.Copy !req
107. The idea is that love deepensCopy !req
108. when a couple shares
a powerful enemy they face.Copy !req
109. A powerful enemy?Copy !req
110. It doesn't have to be a person.Copy !req
111. A shared imaginary enemy is fine.Copy !req
112. We don't have an enemy like that.Copy !req
113. Oh no! Everyone has
a powerful enemy they have to face!Copy !req
114. Wh-Who?Copy !req
115. It's...Copy !req
116. this society!Copy !req
117. Society?Copy !req
118. Unending war! The ever-expanding gap
between rich and poor!Copy !req
119. There are no enemies
more powerful than that!Copy !req
120. Wait. It should be something minor
like entrance exams or everyday troubles.Copy !req
121. I-I see! So the two of us
should rebel against this corrupt society!Copy !req
122. That's a large-scale challenge!Copy !req
123. Understood!
The two of us will prepare!Copy !req
124. Good luck!Copy !req
125. Wait! Hold on!Copy !req
126. Will it be okay? Did we just create
two antisocial deviants?Copy !req
127. It'll be fine!Copy !req
128. Please donate to the fund!Copy !req
129. Please!Copy !req
130. Please donate to the fund!Copy !req
131. It seems they were both
already interested in charity work.Copy !req
132. Please!Copy !req
133. This has become a good opportunity.Copy !req
134. The feeling of wishing for peace...Copy !req
135. That may be the true meaning
of rebelling against society.Copy !req
136. What are you talking about?Copy !req
137. So, her boyfriend is the one
who went to the president for advice.Copy !req
138. President?Copy !req
139. Shinomiya!Copy !req
140. Why are you here with them?Copy !req
141. Oh, I applied to do
off-campus fundraising activities.Copy !req
142. Please donate to the fund!Copy !req
143. Well, when I saw those two who don't seem
to be doing it on a whim or as a pastime,Copy !req
144. Please!Copy !req
145. who are inexperienced but eager...Copy !req
146. Please donate to the fund!Copy !req
147. it made me feel like supporting them
even if it's not much.Copy !req
148. Please!Copy !req
149. Jeez.Copy !req
150. Please donate to the fund!Copy !req
151. This kind of activity
really isn't up my alley, though.Copy !req
152. Please!Copy !req
153. This is one of the things.Copy !req
154. Results of today's match...Copy !req
155. KAGUYA LOSESCopy !req
156. Kaguya loses.Copy !req
157. PLEASE DONATE TO THE FUNDCopy !req
158. PLEASECopy !req
159. MIYUKI SHIROGANE
WANTS TO SHOW OFFCopy !req
160. WHACKCopy !req
161. I was so close!Copy !req
162. Not athletic!Copy !req
163. NOT ATHLETICCopy !req
164. When it comes to studying,
Shirogane excels,Copy !req
165. but as for athletics, he's a catastrophe,
unfit for any human to see.Copy !req
166. He delivered newspapers for many years,
and in the summertime, worked as a mover.Copy !req
167. He's easily able to ride his bike
the 15 kilometers to school every day.Copy !req
168. Miyuki Shirogane definitely doesn't suffer
from a lack of physical ability.Copy !req
169. He just has an alarming lack
of coordination! That's the cause!Copy !req
170. So, in order to protect
his social status at Shuchiin Academy,Copy !req
171. daily extraordinary training is essential!Copy !req
172. We've got volleyball next week.Copy !req
173. I have to get to the point
of average ability by then.Copy !req
174. At this rate...Copy !req
175. Please take this seriously.Copy !req
176. It looks like a dying alpaca,
but is that the president?Copy !req
177. Really?Copy !req
178. That dying alpaca?Copy !req
179. How cute.Copy !req
180. No!Copy !req
181. Why isn't this working?Copy !req
182. President, are you okay?Copy !req
183. Yeah, no prob...Copy !req
184. Fujiwara!Copy !req
185. What are you doing?Copy !req
186. I forgot this here. Um...Copy !req
187. Did she see me?Copy !req
188. It's over.
Good at both sports and studies...Copy !req
189. The well-rounded
President Shirogane brand...Copy !req
190. Even though I didn't do anything wrong,
my flawless image will...Copy !req
191. Did I study for the test? Not really.Copy !req
192. This is really bad.Copy !req
193. Playing with a ball is so much fun!Copy !req
194. Oh, well.Copy !req
195. Whatever she thinks about me,
it won't do much damage.Copy !req
196. Volleyball is the next sport for P.E., right?Copy !req
197. I was able to reserve the gym,
so I've been practicing.Copy !req
198. My serve is kind of weak, you know?Copy !req
199. Oh, I see.Copy !req
200. Want me to teach you?Copy !req
201. Look, you can't teach someone
unless you can do it yourself.Copy !req
202. I'm okay at volleyball!Copy !req
203. See?Copy !req
204. Right?Copy !req
205. Incredible!Copy !req
206. PRESIDENT'S CRITERIACopy !req
207. How could her serve be so polished?Copy !req
208. How'd you like that?Copy !req
209. I-I had no idea you possessed
such a special skill!Copy !req
210. I bet if I taught you,
you'd improve in no time.Copy !req
211. GRIN GRINCopy !req
212. President! When you're
asking someone for help,Copy !req
213. what kind of attitude is appropriate?Copy !req
214. P-Please teach me.Copy !req
215. Sure! No problem!Copy !req
216. Okay, first let me see
exactly what the problem is.Copy !req
217. Please show me your serve several times.Copy !req
218. Okay.Copy !req
219. Why does that happen?Copy !req
220. I don't know myself.Copy !req
221. No matter how many times I try,
I keep hitting myself in the head.Copy !req
222. And if I'm careful about my head,
my timing is totally off.Copy !req
223. I'm perfectly deadlocked!Copy !req
224. Right.Copy !req
225. First of all, when you hit the ball,
keep your eyes open!Copy !req
226. You don't have to state the obvious.Copy !req
227. Right, right!Copy !req
228. Then open your eyes wide
and try to hit the ball.Copy !req
229. As if that would make a difference.Copy !req
230. See? That didn't work.Copy !req
231. Your eyes aren't open!Copy !req
232. They're not open!Copy !req
233. How can you project the feeling,
"I did what you said, but it didn't work"?Copy !req
234. Look! They weren't even open
one millimeter!Copy !req
235. I don't believe it!Copy !req
236. Maybe I have what they call "the yips"?Copy !req
237. What arrogance!Copy !req
238. President, maybe your image of yourself
isn't in sync with your actual movements!Copy !req
239. Let's start with jumping
with your eyes open!Copy !req
240. I'm going to be merciless with you,
so be prepared!Copy !req
241. Please!Copy !req
242. OGRECopy !req
243. And so...Copy !req
244. 1, 2,Copy !req
245. 3, 4,5...Copy !req
246. 556, 557, 558, 559...Copy !req
247. 984, 985, 986,987...Copy !req
248. No closed eyes when you jump.
The ball is your friend.Copy !req
249. And so, with morning and evening
training sessions, three days passed.Copy !req
250. President...Copy !req
251. Maybe this is enough.Copy !req
252. I think you're good enough to be
at the level of a person who just sucks at it.Copy !req
253. Compared to when you were a creature,
you've made a lot of progress.Copy !req
254. Not yet!Copy !req
255. I can still...Copy !req
256. do more!Copy !req
257. Why are you working so hard for this?Copy !req
258. Because I don't want them
to see me look like a dork.Copy !req
259. If they're going to see me,
I want them to see me look cool!Copy !req
260. Are you talking
about the person you like, President?Copy !req
261. Not at all!
You've got romance on the brain!Copy !req
262. You don't have to hide it from me!Copy !req
263. Who's she? Who's she?Copy !req
264. Shut up!Copy !req
265. Please tell me!Copy !req
266. Don't pester me about that!Copy !req
267. Y-You did it!Copy !req
268. You did it! You did it!Copy !req
269. Yeah, Fujiwara. Thanks to you.Copy !req
270. It was so tough!
But you persevered until you achieved it!Copy !req
271. All right, Fujiwara.Copy !req
272. Next teach me how to toss and receive!Copy !req
273. ONE WEEK LATERCopy !req
274. Wow!Copy !req
275. Shirogane!Copy !req
276. Miss Fujiwara?Copy !req
277. I raised that boy.Copy !req
278. You're his mother?Copy !req
279. Results of today's match...Copy !req
280. Shirogane and Fujiwara's victory!Copy !req
281. SHIROGANE AND
FUJIWARA'S VICTORYCopy !req
282. YES, WELL...Copy !req
283. I'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN.Copy !req
284. KAGUYA WANTS TO BE COVEREDCopy !req
285. All right. Ishigami finished dealing
with the aftermath of that last mixer...Copy !req
286. so there really isn't anything
for us to do today.Copy !req
287. Shall we take the day off?Copy !req
288. Sure! Then you'd better call
for an early pickup, Miss Kaguya.Copy !req
289. Actually...Copy !req
290. the car has a flat or something,
so I thought I'd walk home.Copy !req
291. You won't be kidnapped?Copy !req
292. Not much evidence is left on a rainy day,
so that's when they target you!Copy !req
293. Please don't say things
that'll make me nervous.Copy !req
294. I'd like to give you a lift,
but I have somewhere to go.Copy !req
295. Shinomiya is going to walk home?Copy !req
296. That's okay.
I appreciate the sentiment.Copy !req
297. Then maybe that'll work?Copy !req
298. The turning point of the season.
The rainy season.Copy !req
299. Sharing an umbrella!Copy !req
300. Two shoulders close together
under one umbrella,Copy !req
301. an event that immediately closes
the distance between man and woman.Copy !req
302. The rainy season is the ideal season
to share an umbrella.Copy !req
303. What nonsense.Copy !req
304. Shamefully jostling each other
under one umbrella...Copy !req
305. But I do recognize the meaning
behind sharing an umbrella.Copy !req
306. In the realm of romance,
what should be feared the mostCopy !req
307. is summer vacation magic.Copy !req
308. "Spending summer vacation
with your sweetheart."Copy !req
309. That brand is so sought afterCopy !req
310. that before summer vacation starts,
evaluation of the opposite sexCopy !req
311. takes place everywhere
throughout the school.Copy !req
312. Sharing an umbrella emphasizes to onlookers
an intimacy with a member of the opposite sex,Copy !req
313. DAMNCopy !req
314. MARKING COMPLETE!Copy !req
315. HE'S TAKENCopy !req
316. and is the most efficient way
to mark someone as being excludedCopy !req
317. from the group
of "summer sweetheart candidates."Copy !req
318. It's really coming down.Copy !req
319. Yes. It wasn't raining at all this morning.Copy !req
320. There's pretty much one way
that sharing an umbrella works.Copy !req
321. One... "A" has forgotten to bring
an umbrella and is just standing there.Copy !req
322. Two... Unable to ignore that,
"B" asks, "Wanna share?"Copy !req
323. WANNA SHARE?Copy !req
324. SUCCESS!Copy !req
325. Well, should we go?Copy !req
326. In short, the success
of sharing an umbrella...Copy !req
327. Yes.Copy !req
328. depends on the "I forgot my umbrella" appeal!Copy !req
329. However...Copy !req
330. What should I do?
I don't have an umbrella.Copy !req
331. Shoot, I forgot my umbrella.Copy !req
332. COMPETITION BATTING!Copy !req
333. Batting!Copy !req
334. An umbrella sharing event begins
with one person forgetting their umbrella.Copy !req
335. But if they both forget their umbrellas,
there are no developments!Copy !req
336. It's just two people
who have forgotten to bring an umbrella!Copy !req
337. Y-You forgot your umbrella, too, Shinomiya?Copy !req
338. Yes. It just slipped my mind,
since I usually get picked up.Copy !req
339. Why did you forget?Copy !req
340. Well, I didn't check the weather forecast.Copy !req
341. I didn't think
we were in for a storm like this.Copy !req
342. Of course, it's all a bluff!Copy !req
343. They both have folding umbrellas
in their bags!Copy !req
344. What do I do?
Tell her I have an umbrella now?Copy !req
345. But if I do that...Copy !req
346. Oh, my.Copy !req
347. You wanted to get under my umbrella
so badly that you lied about your umbrella?Copy !req
348. Good grief.Copy !req
349. How cute.Copy !req
350. I can't!Copy !req
351. Already, taking out the umbrella
would expose a meaningful lie.Copy !req
352. And that would also directly link to inviting
the other person to share the umbrella.Copy !req
353. That would clearly spell defeat.Copy !req
354. Wait. If she doesn't have a ride,Copy !req
355. I'm sure someone from the Shinomiya house
would've given her an umbrella.Copy !req
356. It wouldn't matter
that it slipped her mind!Copy !req
357. I've got your number, President.Copy !req
358. You have an umbrella
in that bag, don't you?Copy !req
359. You're lying because you're too embarrassed
to invite me under your umbrella.Copy !req
360. In this situation,
the condition for victory...Copy !req
361. is none other than exposing
the other person's lie!Copy !req
362. Hey, Shinomiya,
maybe you've actually got one.Copy !req
363. Shirogane made the first move.Copy !req
364. Your usual ride had a flat today,
on the day it rains.Copy !req
365. But today of all days, someone like you,
who always plans ahead, forgot her umbrella.Copy !req
366. How likely is that?Copy !req
367. What are you trying to say?Copy !req
368. Oh, nothing.Copy !req
369. Not enough information.Copy !req
370. Should I gamble on a game-winning hit?Copy !req
371. If we're talking planning ahead,
you do the same, President.Copy !req
372. What?Copy !req
373. Before, you said you didn't check
the weather forecast, but I find that odd.Copy !req
374. What's odd about it?Copy !req
375. I have days like that.Copy !req
376. You always ride your bicycle
to school, don't you?Copy !req
377. Yes, but...Copy !req
378. Then,Copy !req
379. why did you take the train today?Copy !req
380. I noticed your bike
wasn't in the bike rack today.Copy !req
381. What?Copy !req
382. I mean, if you think about it,
there's nothing unnatural at all.Copy !req
383. On a rainy day,
you take the train to school.Copy !req
384. That's the reasonable thing to do, isn't it?Copy !req
385. Say, President...Copy !req
386. you said you missed
the weather forecast, right?Copy !req
387. Then why did you choose
to take the train today, of all days?Copy !req
388. The truth is...Copy !req
389. you saw it, didn't you?Copy !req
390. The weather forecast.Copy !req
391. The difference in preparation!Copy !req
392. Maybe you just thought
you forgot to bring an umbrella.Copy !req
393. President, would you take a look
in your bag to see if it's there?Copy !req
394. The difference in advance preparation
will decide the outcome of the game!Copy !req
395. It didn't even take Shirogane an hour
to devise his umbrella-sharing plan.Copy !req
396. On the other hand,
Kaguya confirmed the weather report.Copy !req
397. She carefully looked at the weather map,Copy !req
398. used an awl to pierce
the tire of her ride,Copy !req
399. and checked the bicycle rack.Copy !req
400. The amount of advance preparation
gave her a big lead.Copy !req
401. Naturally, she predicted
this situation, as well.Copy !req
402. Now I'll score a point for good measure!Copy !req
403. I guess I'll just get soaked
walking home in the rain.Copy !req
404. GRINCopy !req
405. Miss Kaguya, you forgot your umbrella?Copy !req
406. I've got a spare in the classroom,
so please use this one.Copy !req
407. Please be more careful for next time!Copy !req
408. Absent-minded Miss Kaguya!Copy !req
409. Well, see ya tomorrow!Copy !req
410. I had him! I was one step away!Copy !req
411. Why does that girl always spoil it?Copy !req
412. Now that it's come to this...Copy !req
413. Here.Copy !req
414. I'm giving you this umbrella, President!Copy !req
415. Do what you want with it! Here!Copy !req
416. No, that umbrella belongs to Fujiwara.Copy !req
417. I'm subletting it!Copy !req
418. No, look...Copy !req
419. All right.Copy !req
