[birds chirping]
[clacking]
Hm?
[groans]
Huh.
Hm.
"I'd like to meet up with you
after class today and talk.
Also, what are you
calling me about? Curious."
Does this guy have any idea
what day it is?
Ugh.
I don't know.
I just got the sudden urge
to call you,
but it's nothing serious.
Anyway, I'm down to meet up,
but the earlier we do it,
the better.
[beeps]
[chuckles]
[indistinct chatter]
-[groans]
-Huh.
[MATSUSHITA] Who all
have you given it to?
Hey, Ayanakoji!
Did you get any V-day
chocolate yet?
Chocolate?
Lemme translate here.
He wants to know
if you got any chocolate
from Horikita, specifically.
Shut up! It's got nothing
to do with Suzune!
So? Did you get
any yet or what?
Haven't gotten any.
Don't expect to get any.
[indistinct chatter]
-You serious?
-Deadly.
Yeah, good call!
Why would she ever give
you any, y'know?
Hm.
Chocolate is nothing.
I have higher priorities
than the attention of women.
Calm down, Ego Man.
Wait, you changed your tune.
What about operation
Young Lust?
I'm on a journey of discovery.
Our recent meditation
training led me
to a massive
personal breakthrough.
Allowing me to see
what is truly import--
[IKE]
How about you, Hondo?
Hey, I'm sharing my heart here!
Zero for me.
If I don't get at least one,
I might throw up.
From Shinohara, we know.
What are you even
talking about, dude?
Why would you specifically
bring up Shinohara?
[HONDO] I mean, you two
are always talking and stuff.
Shinohara's got a soft spot
for you, right, Ike?
We're not always talking!
It's not like that.
Come on, why don't you
just admit it, man?
You really like her.
[IKE]
Nuh-uh! I do not!
Maybe. the girls
are just feeling shy,
so they haven't
even started handing out
-their chocolate yet.
-You're right!
So, you're sayin'
there's a chance for chocolate?
[gasps]
Oops!
[sighs]
Good morning, everyone.
[all gasping]
For real?
Well, crap.
Guess the girls aren't
just feeling shy.
He breaks up with Karuizawa
and immediately gets this?
[SATO] So, what about you,
Matsushita?
Did you bring chocolate
for anyone in particular?
What now?
So then, how're things
with Kushida?
What do you mean?
How's the progress
on your budding friendship?
I'm not sure.
I'm still focused on improving
my relationship with her.
Are you interested
in helping at all?
No, I was just curious.
How like you.
Anyway,
Kushida's, well, let's just say
she's changing.
She agreed to meet me
at the Keyaki Mall cafe
today after class.
In the past she would turn
me down flat immediately,
no matter what I proposed.
That so?
I think that's a sign
that she'll be rational.
[AYANOKOJI]
I'm glad to hear it.
Your tone belies your words.
It concerns you, too.
[SHINOHARA] Now I see why you
didn't bring any chocolate.
-[SUDO] Suzune?
-Huh.
What do you want?
Oh, uh
I, um
was wondering if you
could help me study.
You're being
uncharacteristically
assertive today.
Oh, am I? Weird.
Just trying to stay in school.
So, anywhoo, whaddaya say,
today after
No.
But we can begin
after clubs conclude,
-that's plenty of time.
-Huh.
Yeah, okay.
[all sigh]
[indistinct chatter]
[AYANOKOJI] According
to Karuizawa's report,
Ichinose stayed
home again today.
Hm.
[NAGUMO]
I was wondering who that was.
First-years? Having
a secret meeting at this hour?
Move.
[NAGUMO] I've a certain
fondness, you know,
for people like you.
Though I'm sorry
to say you wouldn't fit
in my student council.
-Hm.
-Hm.
Now, then, Horikita,
to get down to brass tacks.
You want to do this
in front of the first-year?
I don't see any problem
with that.
I'd like, for you to sit out
the exam tomorrow.
And I'm sure you already know
I can't do that.
Oh, come on, don't tell me
that you've failed
to anticipate my next move.
Although, it does make sense,
there's not a single student
in this school
who can predict
what I'm thinking, after all.
And that includes
your personal favorite.
Oh, yeah, that's right,
you were in the same group
as that first-year,
were you not?
Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.
[gasps]
[HASHIMOTO]
He's the guy Manabu Horikita
thinks most highly of.
And if Ayanokoji was involved
in Ryuen's downfall,
then that must mean
Maybe I'm overthinking it?
He doesn't look like a man
with many layers.
-[shivering] It's so cold!
-Huh.
Why did you insist on us
meeting all the way up here?
There've got to be
better places!
[HASHIMOTO]
Karuizawa?
Well, we can't exactly
meet up in the lobby.
Even if you have broken up
with Hirata,
it could lead
to unsavory rumors.
You wouldn't want that
now, would you?
I guess not.
But doesn't sneaking around
seem even fishier?
I mean, what if we get spotted?
You wanna talk about rumors?
No worries there.
Sheesh, you're cautious
about some things
and not at all about others.
Fine.
Ugh, still, it's freezing out!
Like, why can't it just be
summer already?
Then when summer comes,
you'll be like,
"It's too hot,
why can't it be winter?"
Ugh. Well, that's just how
I work, so get used to it!
[HASHIMOTO]
What are they talking about?
So she's the one Ayanokoji's
been contacting in secret?
Karuizawa? Really?
So? Why'd you want
to talk to me?
And today of all days?
It could have been
any day, actually.
Oh, yeah?
I thought there might
be a specific reason
you asked to see me today,
but fine, I guess not.
There's not, I just wanted
to confirm something
as soon as I possibly could.
Wow.
[AYANOKOJI] Does this number
ring any bells for you?
[KARUIZAWA] [sighs]
Who could that be?
It's not anybody
in my contact list.
Why don't you just call them
back and ask?
Yeah, I tried to,
several times,
but their phone was off.
Well, is it important?
Do you need me to dig around?
It is.
That's what I wanted
to speak to you about.
But please, don't be
careless about it.
Yeah, I won't.
So, is that all you wanted?
-[AYANOKOJI] Um, actually
-[gasps]
What else?
How are you feeling
about finals coming up soon?
I expect them
to be rather difficult.
Huh? For real?
Well, would you
mind tutoring me?
Or not?
Well, I can't allow you
into our study group, but
Maybe one on one?
How 'bout late night sessions?
It's better than
getting expelled, I guess!
Agreed.
Right, let's get
those on the books.
Sure, you've got it!
Okay. See you later.
-Uh, hey, wait!
-Hm.
So, um
Can I give you a little quiz?
A quiz?
Do you know
what today is by chance?
The answer's so obvious,
I feel like I am going
to get it wrong
even though I'm sure
that I'm right.
[KARUIZAWA]
Don't overthink it.
Just give me
your first impulse.
-[AYANOKOJI] Valentin
-[KARUIZAWA] Yep, that's right.
Is that for me?
Well, technically no,
because I originally brought it
for Yosuke,
but there's no need
for that now.
So, it was for Hirata, ah.
So, what? Problem?
No.
I was thinking
that you must prepare
for Valentine's Day,
really far in advance.
I-I just like
to be prepared, okay?
I'd decided to break up
with him,
but there was a chance
that I might still
need it, you know?
Is that how this stuff works?
Well, since you don't have
any romantic experience,
I'm sure you
wouldn't understand.
Suppose not.
And here I thought
you'd chosen today
'cause you were hoping
I'd give you some chocolate.
[AYANOKOJI] Sorry, I wasn't
thinking about that at all.
Just curious, did you get
any from anyone else?
-Oh, no. Not even one.
-[gasps]
Zero?
That makes sense,
you are so cut out for zeroes.
Maybe so,
but are you sure about this?
If you give it to me,
then I won't have zero.
Yeah, that's true,
which is still pretty pathetic.
Think of me as your
emergency backup.
Oh, and feel free to give me
double as thanks!
Is that really how it works?
Yep, you bet
that's how it works.
[HASHIMOTO]
Valentine's chocolate, huh?
If it's all romance stuff,
I guess that's about
as interesting as it'll get.
No, wait.
-Hey, by the way.
-Hm.
-Huh.
-Hm.
[gasps]
Well, anyway,
guess I'd better head home.
[HASHIMOTO]
Yo!
What's up, guys?
[chuckles]
And, um
-You are?
-He's Hashimoto from Class A.
We were in the same group
at the training camp.
A secret meeting
in a place like this?
You're more than meets the eye,
aren't you, Ayanokoji?
There is nothing secret
about it, okay?
Don't hide it.
Today is Valentine's Day.
Look, we weren't at all
meeting up for Valentine's Day.
Come on, I can see
the chocolate she gave you.
I was on my way to the library,
when Karuizawa asked
for a moment of my time.
Right, I don't see
any difference, really.
I'm not sure I follow.
Do you have some
issue with this?
Well, it's just so strange.
Karuizawa's last boyfriend
was Hirata, you know.
So, you wanted
Ayanokoji so badly
you dumped a great guy
like Hirata.
Naturally piques
the curiosity, doesn't it?
Oh, sorry, I think you
may have got the wrong
idea about this.
-How so?
-See
I was originally gonna give
that chocolate to Hirata,
but throwing it out felt like
such a waste.
So, I needed a random guy,
and Ayanokoji
was the lucky winner.
You two seemed
pretty friendly for him
to be some random guy.
Sorry, not buying it,
no can do.
Huh?
So, you jump out and start
making accusations?
What's your problem, anyway?
I don't have a problem,
I just want to find out
the truth is all.
Okay, enough,
you might as well give it up
and be honest with him.
There's no point
in hiding it now.
It will just make
trouble for us later.
It would be worse for us
both if he thought
we were dating, wouldn't it?
[gasps]
Fine, I'll tell you,
but you'd better not go
spreading this around, okay?
Cross my heart.
I'm just handing
the chocolate off
to Ayanokoji to deliver it.
And then he's gonna
give it to the guy
I've really got my eye on.
So, you're telling me
that Ayanokoji
is just a go-between?
That's exactly right.
Do you get it now?
[HASHIMOTO]
Yeah, I do.
But who's it really for?
[KARUIZAWA]
Huh? You expect me to tell that
to some guy I just met?
Are you a moron?
So harsh.
Well, fair enough, I guess.
Seriously, back off already.
Hm.
Yeah, I guess I really
misinterpreted the situation.
Here I thought you two
had a special relationship.
Which wouldn't have been
any of your concern, anyway,
so how about you mind
your own business?
Well
I wouldn't say
it's not my business.
Hey, back off!
-[grunts]
-[gasps]
I've had my eye on you
for a while now.
You should go out
with me, Karuizawa.
Huh?
I don't know who that
chocolate's meant for,
and I don't care.
You haven't told him
how you feel yet, right?
What are you talking about?
You really think
this is the way
to get a girl
to go out with you?
Fortune favors the bold
in matters of the heart.
That's what
makes it so much fun.
Okay. Well, I'll be going now.
-Hey, hold on!
-[gasps]
Wait, I'm getting
out of here, too! Bye!
Jeez, frigid much?
[KARUIZAWA]
What a total creep.
Sorry 'bout that, Ayanokoji.
I came at an awkward time, huh?
Doesn't matter to me.
There's a lot of stuff
I've been wanting
to talk to you about,
so could I maybe get
your contact info?
Okay.
[pinging]
Thanks a bunch.
Well, I should probably be
heading home now.
See you around, Ayanokoji.
Sure.
[sizzling]
[AYANOKOJI] I certainly wasn't
expecting to get five of them.
It's about time to go.
[door rumbling]
[bell dings]
-[ICHINOSE] Yes?
-Ichinose, hey.
It's Ayanokoji.
[ICHINOSE]
Ayanokoji? What are you
[Ichinose coughing]
[AYANOKOJI]
That sounds bad.
You have a cold?
[ICHINOSE] Yeah.
[sniffles]
So, it's, um, not a great time.
I thought that maybe you
hadn't been eating too well.
Can you keep
rice porridge down?
[ICHINOSE]
It's just
Also, I'd prefer it if no one
saw me out here.
Can you at least accept
a little check-in?
[ICHINOSE]
Hang on a minute.
[door opens]
You don't take no
for an answer.
Do you, Ayanokoji?
I don't.
-Here.
-[gasps]
Thanks, I
[both gasp]
Oh, jeez.
-Are you all right?
-Yeah.
So, would you, um, would you
like to come inside?
-[AYANOKOJI] Feel any better?
-Yeah.
Thanks a lot.
But you really could
have just called me.
You didn't have to come over.
I wanted to talk in person.
Sorry to come over so late.
Have you seen a doctor?
[ICHINOSE]
Yeah. They said it's a cold.
[AYANOKOJI]
I see.
[ICHINOSE]
And listen.
I'm sorry to make you
wear a mask, too.
I just don't want anyone
catching what I've got.
I'm feeling quite
a lot better, though.
I think all the oversleeping
and under-eating
is doing most of the damage
at this point.
So, um, this rice porridge,
did you make it?
Yeah.
Well, it's good.
Honestly, I can't remember
the last time I ate.
You need to be eating
proper meals.
I know.
I can't remember the last time
I saw anyone in person, either.
[AYANOKOJI]
No one's come by?
[ICHINOSE]
Well, a bunch of my friends
did come to see me,
but I turned them away.
After that, I think they were
convinced I was depressed,
so, they stopped trying.
Did you want
to talk to me in person
because you were worried
that I was missing school
'cause of the rumors?
If that's the case,
I really appreciate it.
Thanks.
But for real,
I'd never skip school
because of some silly rumors.
[AYANOKOJI]
You're a strong person.
[ICHINOSE]
I'm not so sure about strong.
[AYANOKOJI]
She puts on a good front,
but emotional stress can have
significant adverse effects
on the immune system.
[coughing]
Well, you shouldn't
stay too long.
Unless you
wanna catch my cold.
[AYANOKOJI]
Yeah, you're right.
I'm sorry
for keeping you up, too.
[ICHINOSE]
No, not at all.
Thanks for stopping by.
Yeah. Don't overdo it, okay?
[door closes]
[AYANOKOJI]
That should do it.
[MIYAMOTO]
Hey, are you
-kidding me?
-[SHINOHARA] What in the world?
[HONDO] I mean,
who could have done this?
[IKE] This is nuts!
Is all this stuff true?
[YAMAUCHI]
This is awesome!
[MATSUSHITA]
I had no idea.
[SUDO]
This is really mean, you guys!
[WANG]
By the time I got to class,
it was already everywhere.
[gasps]
They can't do this!
Whoa. Hey, Sato, do you
really hate Onodera? Huh?
Ugh, come on, of course not!
These are all just rumors,
none of it's true!
I guess I'd better ask Onodera
if she knows why someone
might think that.
Don't do that!
But if it's not true,
then there's no harm in asking
her about it, right?
-That's awful, Yamauchi!
-Shut up!
Will you just knock it off?
What? I'm only
trying to confirm
whether it's made up or not.
Hey, Hondo!
Is yours true, too?
Huh. Ayanokoji!
It says you're into Karuizawa!
I'm not.
Oh, you're not?
Well, you're boring.
As usual.
[HORIKITA] The message board
is awash with ugly rumors.
There's one about you, too.
Shinohara!
[gasps]
-Were you really a prostitute?
-I was not! Stop!
-[chuckles] -Yamauchi, I swear
if you don't cut it out!
C'mon, don't hide it!
This is stupid!
It's just a bunch
of made-up rumors!
You loving all this makes me
think you wrote them!
Huh? No way, it wasn't me!
Ugh, enough!
Just come clean already!
Whoever wrote these rumors
better admit it!
Well, you know what
they say, don't you?
"Where there's
smoke, there's fire."
Shut your damn mouth!
I mean, the real problem here
is the people getting
written about, isn't it?
Like, seriously.
Let's talk. It's all true,
am I right?
-Yamauchi!
-Wait!
Yamauchi, can you just
sit down and shut up?
Aw, c'mon, guys.
Shinohara's always so stuck-up,
and this is our chance
to get some payback.
Payback for what?
And she said it wasn't true!
She might be lying.
It's always
the plain girls like her
who have done
the nastiest stuff.
None of it is true!
I didn't do any of that.
Come on, for real, stop.
How disappointing, Sudo,
I thought you were cool.
I don't know. Like, with Sato.
She really doesn't like Onodera
very much, does she?
Hey, stop it, Miyamoto,
that is not true at all!
But he has a point,
we don't see the two of you
hanging out very often, do we?
What? Well, it's just
This is awful.
We'd finally achieved some
class unity, and now this.
