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