[sighs]
Huh.
[wind whooshing]
[leaves rustling]
♪
Hm.
-[indistinct chatter]
-[NUKUMIZU] This system sucks.
Assigning clean-up duty
based on when the day's date
matches our student numbers
means the kids
in the 30s never do it.
[door slides shut]
Huh.
Oh, Yakishio?
-Huh.
-Hey there, Nukumizu.
We need to talk
about something.
[Nukumizu chuckles]
Hm.
[NUKUMIZU] Normally,
this would be the set-up
for a hot and steamy scene.
[cricket chirping]
[NUKUMIZU] But I've read enough
rom-coms to know that she and I
are short on the type
of plot developments
that would lead
to one like that.
[inhales and exhales]
[LEMON] So, what happened
with "you know what?"
[NUKUMIZU]
Huh, I don't "know what."
[LEMON]
Come on.
Mitsuki said he was gonna
borrow some books
from the lit club.
Did he come get them yet?
[NUKUMIZU]
Oh, that's "what."
It's just, I was thinking,
I wouldn't mind taking
the books to him myself
if that's cool.
♪
Huh? Actually,
you know what, I got an idea.
How about I tell him to come by
and pick them up on a day
you don't have to meet
with the track club?
What's track got to do with it?
I'm confused.
Well, uh, I figure that will
give you a decent excuse
to come and check out
the Lit Club.
Say you're observing
things or whatever.
Observing Lit Club, me?
Think. He's stopping by
to borrow some books
and you're going anyway,
so why not go together?
[gasps]
Okay, I see where you're going
with this, you sneaky genius.
I guess I had you all wrong.
You're not such
a bad guy after all.
[NUKUMIZU] I'm starting
to think our entire class
has me all wrong.
-[thudding]
-[LEMON] Uh-oh.
-[NUKUMIZU] What's up?
-[LEMON] It looks like
the door might have
gotten locked
from the outside somehow.
-[NUKUMIZU] What?
-[thudding]
-Hello? Is anybody out there?
-Hey! Help!
[LEMON] Someone please
come and save us!
[NUKUMIZU] We can't get out!
[cricket chirping]
[NUKUMIZU] The forecast said
it was gonna get up
to 35 degrees Celsius today.
It's the first scorcher
of the season.
[sweat dripping]
Huh.
Whoa, she must be dehydrated.
You don't look like
you're feeling so well.
Feel a gazelle?
I'm more of an impala
kind of girlie.
You can tell 'cause no horns!
Um, I'm not sure
that I'm following you.
-Hm.
-[gasps]
I mean, four,
four legs are better than two.
It's twice the fun!
[gasps]
And spotted hyenas
like to get splashed
with water to cool down too!
[NUKUMIZU]
She's definitely not okay!
[gasps]
Here, Yakishio!
-It's a cooling spray!
-[gasps]
Ooh, you're the best,
Nuku, spray me down!
[NUKUMIZU] [gasps]
So, I'm "Nuku" now?
I'm pretty much hot everywhere.
Ah, wait, stop!
-Huh.
-Do it, Nuku.
[NUKUMIZU] To think
I'd live to see the day
-a girl was begging for me.
-[spray can rattling]
[fizzing]
-[screams]
-Oh!
[LEMON]
Now the front.
[gasps]
Hurry up, please.
[gulps]

♪
[sighs]
[whimpering]
-Ooh!
-[fizzing]
[Lemon screaming]
-[can clattering]
-[Lemon panting]
[NUKUMIZU] At this point,
no one could say it's my fault
I'm having dirty thoughts!
Like, for real it's not on me.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop!
Aww, come on, Nuku,
we're both girls here,
and I'm still so sweaty.
[NUKUMIZU] The heat has totally
scrambled her brain!
Huh!
Oh, looks like this bottle
still has something in it.
Wait, you don't
wanna drink that!
Huh. Hey, Nuku,
why're you being so mean?
-Gimme that back.
-No way!
-Put your clothes on!
-[Lemon groaning]
[groans] Whoa, I felt that!
You're pressing them on me!
[both grunt]
-[knocking on door]
-[gasps]
[AMANATSU]
Hey, is somebody in there?
Please help!
We're trapped in here!
Open the door!
[door clattering]
[NUKUMIZU]
We're finally saved.
♪
Uh, catch ya when you're done.
-[door slides shut]
-[gasps] No, wait!
[NUKUMIZU]
Don't shut the door!
[gulping]
-[sighs]
-So, good.
That really hit the spot.
Heatstroke is pretty scary.
It can be quite serious.
Even causing death
in some cases.
I want the two of you
to rest in here,
so no more class today.
You there, kid,
I'll let your homeroom teacher
know you're here.
Name and class number?
You're my teacher.
It's me, Nukumizu.
You sure about that?
That makes things easy then.
All right, Konuki,
I'll take off and let you
do your thing.
Pardon me, but is
Ms. Amanatsu a close friend?
Of course.
In fact, we both graduated
from this very school.
We were regulars
in the nurse's office, too.
Some things never change.
Like the stains on the ceiling.
[NUKUMIZU]
That's a weird detail
to remember, isn't it?
Well, when you get laid
[sighs] I mean, when you're
laying on your back,
there's nothing else to look at
but the ceiling.
[NUKUMIZU]
This lady's kinda nuts.
[chuckles]
[indistinct chatter]
Hm.
-[curtain rustles]
-Huh.
Someone's here to see you.
Hey, I hope you're feeling up
for some company.
Hm.
Of course. Glad you came by.
[ANNA]
I brought you your bento.
You ready to eat?
-Oh, my!
-Huh.
I feel like I'm in the way.
I'll just step out for a bit,
so you're free to use the room.
You can lock the door
from the inside.
Please enjoy yourselves.
[NUKUMIZU]
Between her and Ms. Amanatsu,
who let these two
work at a school?
[plops]
That omelet rice?
[ANNA]
Yep, and I'm pretty proud
of how this one turned out.
I flipped that thing
like a pro.
Huh.
'Kay, hands together.
Thank you for the food.
Oh, that's right.
Thank you for the food.
[chomps]
[ANNA]
It's good, isn't it?
So, how much is it worth?
Hmm. Like 400 yen.
[ANNA] Not too shabby,
but I'm gonna smash
through that 400-yen ceiling
with something that'll
really up the ante!
I see. So, your big strategy
is to add some soup
to raise the market value?
[ANNA]
Who said it was soup?
Huh.
-[plops]
-'Cause it wasn't me.
[gasps]
[splashing]
Oh, wow, you made white sauce?
[NUKUMIZU] Personally,
I'm more of a ketchup guy,
but the extra effort's
so fancy!
Aah!
[chomps]
-Mmm.
-[chuckles]
This sauce is so good!
[ANNA] It's left over
from a holiday present.
The Empire Hotel's
official white sauce!
-[chomps]
-So, how much would you pay
for a taste of this?
You can't say this isn't
an imperial experience!
[whimpering]
Five. Six hundred yen.
Six hundred it is,
thank you very much!
Sounds like you guys
are having fun in here, huh?
Oh, is that Lemon?
Feeling better? Looking good.
I feel stronger than ever.
But I don't remember much
of what happened earlier.
-[Nukumizu gasps]
-Could you remind me, Nuku?
Huh.
[whimpering]
Uh, Ms. Amanatsu saved us.
Really?
Then I guess she must've
changed my clothes for me.
Un-huh!
It was all her
and I never saw a thing.
-I must've not been looking.
-Hm?
I'd hope not.
What sort of creep would
watch a girl change clothes?
Yeah, wow, you're kind of
grossing me out.
[NUKUMIZU] Oh, man, ouch.
You never wanna hear that.
But anyway,
what are you eating?
It looks super delicious.
It is! I made it myself.
-Huh.
-Here say, "Ahh."
[NUKUMIZU] Hey, she's feeding
her from my plate?
[chomps]
Mmm.
That's so good!
And that sauce
makes it really fancy!
[ANNA] Well, it is
from the Empire Hotel
[NUKUMIZU]
Welp, there goes my lunch.
[LEMON]
Isn't that place expensive?
-Huh.
-What's with your face, dude?
I see 'cause your spoon
touched her lips.
Better get your dirty mind
out of the gutter, son.
[NUKUMIZU]
That wasn't on my mind at all!
Oh, yeah? Why are you blushing?
I am not!
'Scuse me. Is Lemon here?
[gasps]
Mitsuki!
I heard you passed out
from heatstroke,
so I brought you
a get-well gift.
You brought this for me?
But you don't even seem
like you need it.
Huh? I do need it!
I feel so sick, I could
barely get any food down!
Yeah, sure looks like it.
I'd have trouble
eating from there, too.
Huh.
Uh-huh, thanks.
-[chuckles]
-Huh.
Huh. Hey, Mitsuki!
Oh, hey. What's up, Chihaya?
I was thinking
of using the study room
after school's out today.
Do you wanna join me there?
[AYANO]
Sorry, I need to get home,
but I'll see you
at cram school tomorrow.
-Huh.
-Yeah, cool.
Then I'll just get in touch
with you later tonight.
[both chuckle]
What for?
Didn't I say
I'd see her tomorrow?
Well, I'd better
head back to class now.
Take it easy, Lemon. See you.
[LEMON]
Thanks.
Uh, you too.
♪
Oh. Hey there, Tsukinoki?
Hm?
Is it all right if I lend
some of these books
to one of my friends?
Sure, I don't mind if you do.
Butter him up
with some freebies,
then once he's hooked,
we can recruit him.
[NUKUMIZU]
Right.
[KOTO]
Great, I'm taking off.
Huh?
Shintaro keeps forgetting
the duty schedule
and has to stay
after class again.
I gotta go give him backup.
Oh, yeah. And seriously,
don't lay a finger
on the Dazai or Mishima.
Shintaro.
So, her boyfriend, I guess?
Hm. Whoa careful!
No, she isn't dating him.
[stammering]
He's just her childhood friend.
And, she also got
the order wrong.
[gasps]
[NUKUMIZU]
Can it with the BL.
[car honking]
[traffic humming]
[NUKUMIZU] I could pass for
a normal high school student.
Hm. Kaju?
What're you doing here?
Checking on my brother.
Have you actually made
any friends at school yet?
Huh? Nope,
haven't had the chance.
I was afraid you'd say that.
You're in high school now,
so you can no longer fly
under the radar like a weirdo.
[NUKUMIZU]
Yikes, straight to the heart.
Like, for example,
how many people
did you talk to today,
if you don't count teachers?
Um
About five, I guess?
That so?
[train's horn blowing]
I feel awful that I've
hounded you about this so much
that you feel forced
to blatantly lie to me.
Big brother,
not having any friends
is really nothing to be
ashamed of, I promise.
[NUKUMIZU]
Except for the part
where it makes me
a weirdo, right?
[indistinct chatter]
♪
Hmm.
Hm.

[indistinct chatter]
[LEMON]
Morning, Nuku!
-[thumps]
-[gasps]
[NUKUMIZU]
Oh, hey.
Yeah, so, I remembered
what happened
in the storage room yesterday.
-So today, after class--
-[gasps]
Now you remember?
I wasn't looking.
Just for the record!
You lost me.
We talked about me
going to the Lit Club
with Mitsuki today.
-Wha
-You said I should tell him
to come pick up the books?
Did the heat fry
your brain, too?
Oh, no, yeah.
I totally did suggest that.
Yup, yup. Cool.
Great, see you after class.
-[Nukumizu sighs]
-Lemon sure is going after him.
Maybe I should
check it out, too,
so, she knows
I've got her back.
You're cool with that, right?
Oh, sure, but Lit Club?
For real?
Hmm. Why not, I mean,
I like flowers and stuff.
[NUKUMIZU]
Nope, that's horticulture.
Huh?
[TAMAKI]
It's Nukumizu, right?
That's me.
I'm Shintaro,
the club president.
-Ah, the plot thickens.
-It's very nice to meet you.
Oh, is this your
Abe Kobo friend?
Uh, actually, no, it isn't.
Nice to meetcha!
I'm actually Yanami, not Abe.
I'm just here
to check things out.
That's great.
It makes me happy to hear
so many people are interested
in the Lit Club now.
[ANNA] I used to do
wool felting, myself.
You know, where you poke
a hairball thing with a needle?
-That would be the Knit Club.
-Huh?
Well, I'm off.
Club presidents' meeting.
Cutting it close.
[KOMARI]
Oh, uh, President?
About that sci-fi book
I borrowed
it was really good.
It was a bit over my head,
but I still liked it--
-[TAMAKI] Is that right?
-[gasps]
Well, I knew one of us
had good taste.
-[KOTO] Whoa, there.
-Huh.
You okay?
If he starts bothering you,
just let me handle it.
[KOMARI]
Oh, I
I don't, like, hate head pats.
So, yeah.
[chuckles]
You really are adorable.
You could learn
a few things, Koto.
-Shut your mouth.
-[chuckles]
-See you later.
-Hm.
[door slides open]
[chuckles]
Oh, really?
He thinks I'm I mean,
he just called me adorable.
[chuckles]
You two seem to get along
rather well,
so spill the beans.
[KOTO]
Well, we're childhood friends.
It's a whole thing.
So, you and him go way back?
-[gasps] That must mean
-Huh.
Homewrecker.
[NUKUMIZU]
C'mon, Yanami.
Let's not say things
like that in Lit Club, okay?
-[NUKUMIZU] Um
-Excuse us.
Huh!
Oh, good. Ayano showed up.
[fan whirring]
You've really got
an amazing collection here.
I don't even know
where to begin.
Take whatever you like.
And if you decide
to join our club,
you'll be able to borrow
anything anytime.
-[KOTO] Just let me know!
-[AYANO] I am interested,
but cram school's
keeping me busy.
Oh, that's not a big deal.
You can come and borrow books
whenever you feel like
you're ready to read a new one.
And maybe
your cute little girlfriend
would want to join, too?
Huh, wait, what was that?
Did you mean me when
you said, "girlfriend?"
Dangit,
my schedule's so packed!
I'm in the track club,
so I'm always
running around busy, no time!
Now, now, hang on.
We're open to dual memberships.
I mean, all our members
are in other clubs, too.
[NUKUMIZU]
Am I in another club?
'Cause that's news to me.
You're always welcome
to come hide in here
if you feel like skipping
track practice.
And hey, won't it be so nice
to have some more time
to chill with your girlfriend?
Huh?
Would you like that, Mitsuki?
It doesn't really seem
that fair to you though.
We're not even dating
each other, anyway.
[KOTO]
Oh, you're not?
She's always been
really popular with the guys.
She's got way better
options than me.
Well, thanks for the book.
[LEMON]
Not true!
I'm actually single,
being popular doesn't mean
I'd date just anyone!
Oh, of course not.
Sorry, I said something
careless, didn't I?
[gasps]
No, not exactly.
Um, it's fine. Sorry.
No way! That's so weird.
You really not a couple?
'Cause you act like one.
Uh, you're wrong!
We aren't dating each other!
You sure about that?
You heard him.
We're totally sure.
I already have a girlfriend.
-I already have a girlfriend.
-[whimpering]
-I already have a girlfriend.
-[gasps]
[AYANO] [echo]
I already have a girlfriend.
Hm? What now?
Why'd you guys get all quiet?
Huh? So, Mitsuki, you've got
a girlfriend now? Since when?
Yeah, it happened recently.
I didn't realize
I hadn't told you yet.
Let me guess. Is it Asagumo?
That obvious, huh? How funny.
I should introduce you
to her more officially soon.
-All right, Lemon. Ready to go?
-[ALL] Huh?
Uh, what's wrong?
Didn't you tell me you wanted
my help shopping today?
[NUKUMIZU]
Sweet summer child.
Nothing between those ears!
Yeah, well, I've decided I'm
joining the Literature Club,
so, I think I'll just
hang out here today.
Oh, okay.
Then, I guess,
I'll see you later.
Oh!
♪
[door closes]
Hey so, was that,
kinda my fault?
Extremely your fault.
Um, what's up?
Gimme one of those
sign-up sheets.
[LEMON] So, Mitsuki already
has a girlfriend, huh?
[chuckles]
Of course, he does.
Oh, boy,
what have I been doing?
Sounds like you've been
running in circles to me.
Hats off to ya.
And welcome
to the Literature Club.
[gasps]
Thanks, that helps.
But I'm still gonna cry.
-[bell chimes]
-[indistinct chatter]
[NUKUMIZU] Your friend
basically gets dumped,
so to cheer her up,
you take her to the restaurant
where you got dumped?
Do you have nerves of steel?
-Hm.
-[NUKUMIZU] Oh, uh, Yanami,
you're paying
for yourself today, right?
Of course, I am!
Bit insensitive to talk about
money at a time like this.
You have any sense of decency?
Order anything you want today,
'cause it's on us.
Thanks, but you
don't have to do that.
[NUKUMIZU]
It's okay.
We're celebrating you
joining the club after all.
[ANNA] All right, I'm gonna
have a nice Hamburg steak!
I'm curious,
aren't you still eating
dinner at home?
Oh, come on.
Even you must know that sweets
are a diet's worst enemy.
And a steak before dinner
is a diet's best friend?
So, let's see, I think I wanna
try this bean paste sundae.
Yummy! That's what
I'll have for dessert.
[NUKUMIZU] I thought sweets
were your sworn enemy?
Right. Better make it
a burger instead.
[NUKUMIZU]
You can really eat that much?
You go ahead.
The two of us are gonna
take care of the bill here
then meet you
outside in a second.
Great, thanks,
I really appreciate it.
I'll get back to you
real soon, 'kay?
So, you can be
pretty thoughtful.
Yeah, well, you still owe me.
So, it's not like
I'm the one paying today.
I take it back,
you're a total jerk.
And I'll tell you
another thing, Nukimizu.
[gasps]
Funny story
[gasps] Don't tell me
you don't have enough
to cover all that food
you ordered.
That's it. This girl
is completely, utterly
[giggles]
[NUKUMIZU]
Shameless.
[slot machine rattling]
[slot machine clinks]
[AYANO] I'd have trouble
eating from there, too.
[LEMON]
Huh. Uh-huh, thanks.
That Nukumizu
may not look like much,
but I must say he's got
some tricks up his sleeve.
And more importantly
[CHIHAYA]
Hey, Mitsuki!
[AYANO]
Oh, hey. What's up, Chihaya?
[CHIHAYA] I was thinking
of using the study room
after school's out today.
Do you wanna join me there?
[groaning]
[clattering]
[KONUKI]
Maybe I should set another one
up in the study room.
[can opener clicks]
[Lemon grunting]
-[KONUKI] It's late, you know.
-Hm.
[KONUKI]
What are you doing here?
I guess I just had
the itch to run.
Unfortunately, my club
didn't meet up today.
Well, off you go.
You should head home.
Do you need me
to walk with you?
[chuckles]
I'm fine, but can I do a quick
100 meter sprint first?
Haven't you had enough?
Huh. Not yet.
This'll be the one though.
[wind whooshing]
-Huh.
-[pages rustling]
♪
All right. You run then.
But don't hold anything back.
Never do!
