02x13 - Sure Thing

[bunniefuu]

NEW TERM

Dammit! Why the hell did you have
a growth spurt over break?

Guys are so lucky.
You sh**t up like weeds!

Arisa, you're pretty tall already.

I dream to be in the s.

Man, it really feels like
we're back at school.

The new term's here.

I see that you didn't get
any more womanly over break.

You're better off
giving up your womanhood!

Sure, I'm fine with that.
Maybe I should give it up.

I can't even turn one man's head anyway.

Uo?

Tohru, imagine how she feels.

Arisa didn't get to see her special friend
from the convenience store again.

Take a good look, Tohru.

-That's what a maiden in love looks like.
-I'll b*at him up the next time I see him!

Now that you mention it,
she does appear pained.

Right? Sounds painful.

You don't look like you have
the guts to do that.

Oh my, that's strange for you to say.

What do you mean?

You're a mind reader?
Did you read my mind?

I can't read minds with waves.
I just remembered something funny.

Let's just leave it at that.

Can you or not?

Yuki!

Well, I have a souvenir of
Summer Sweethearts biscuits for you.

Will you accept them?

Oh, thank you.
Sorry, I don't have anything for you.

Please, I don't mind at all.

Yes, don't worry about that stuff, Yuki!

For the smile
you bestow upon me is a gift.

Overflowing and soaring high
as white wings!

Wings spread wide,
my chest becomes like the blue sky…

Minagawa?

Oh, I apologize.

I had a flash of inspiration
to make a verse of poetry.

Oh, dear. Me too.

Who cares about that?
What did you do over summer, Soma?

What do you mean, "Who cares about that"?

Over summer break? I went to the beach…

To the beach? That's lovely!

Wow, you're so popular.

Amazing.

Oh, wow! Those biscuits look so yummy!

What?

-Who is she?
-Who is she?

-Oh, my!
-You know?

Do you know who she is, Minami?

From Class -A.

Rumors say she's a devil of a woman
who seduces men with her looks.

Yun-Yun?

-"Yun-Yun"?
-"Yun-Yun"?

I…

Just who are you?

You appear out of nowhere,
not to mention you dare call Yuki by Yu…

You can't just start using
a weird nickname for him!

Or what? Are you mocking us?

Oh, no! You're so scary!

You could tell?

Please excuse me. You come too.

Okay!

That was so funny! Wasn't that the best?

You shouldn't laugh at people like that.

Who are you? Why are you calling me
by that strange nickname?

You mean, "Yun-Yun"?
I wasn't the one who said it first.

What? Then who…

-Oh, there he is. Yun-Yun!
-There's no doubt he's the culprit.

It's been so long, Yun-Yun!

How was your summer? Do a ton of stuff?

I did a ton! Went on a ton of dates!

-What's with "Yun-Yun"?
-I love summer!

I wish it could always be summer!

Why did school have to
start again anyway? It sucks.

What's with "Yun-Yun"? I'm talking to you.

Oh, what? Why so grumpy?

Kakeru, he doesn't like
the nickname you gave him.

Oh, really? Isn't it cute?
It reminds me of a panda.

Why is my nickname longer
than my actual name?

Oh, I see. Is that weird?

Oh, that's not the problem!
I was looking for you, Yun-Yun.

Oh, right.
I was looking for you too, Yun-Yun!

sh**t, I feel like
the nickname's going to stick.

Hey! I brought our leader!

I'm Naohito Sakuragi from Class -C.

I'm a secretary.

Right.

I initially turned down the offer
for this tedious position,

but I accepted after finding out
that you'd be the president.

I want you to remember this.
You're my riv--

He's your first love?
Do your best, shorty!

I'll definitely cheer you on!

I'm not a shorty!

He's such a kid.

Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.

I'm Kimi Todo. I'm a secretary
like that kid over there.

You're part of the student council too?

Please be nice about showing me the ropes
if I need help, okay?

I'll do my best if it's for you, Yun-Yun!

Right…

Yes, Yun-Yun, you don't have to worry.

She acts all cutesy, but she's actually…

Shut up. Don't say anything unnecessary.

Man, that freaking hurt.

I got him back for you, teensy shorty.

I'm not a shorty!

Are they loud, quiet, friendly, or shy?

I don't really get my fellow members.

I have to lead these people? Can I do it?

Leader!

And now, a word from our leader!

That's right. I promised myself that day.

I'm Yuki Soma, the president.

I believe that
we all need to work together

to do our duties as the student council.

I promised myself I wouldn't run anymore.

There are still many things
that I lack as the president,

but I assure you that I will work hard.

So I hope you will all work
together with me.

Sure thing!

All right! Let's all have fun
and do this together!

There's no point unless
you can actually do the work.

What are you saying? With my position
as vice president on the line,

I'll work my butt off!

He's sleeping!

Let's work hard.

You could say that the student council
consists of a bunch of troublemakers.

Todo, I trust you're not
causing trouble for Yuki?

You should be mindful of
your cheeky remarks and behavior.

What? It's totally fine.

I'm always a good girl.

That's right!

Thank you for the biscuits the other day.

I ate them together with Yun-Yun.
They were so yummy!

You sit right down!

Sorry, I'm in a hurry.

Secretary Kimi Todo, a second year,

appears to be
instigating conflict intentionally.

What the heck is
that joke of a sign out front?

It's ludicrous!

And this room gets messy the minute
it's cleaned up! What a headache!

Secretary Naohito Sakuragi,
a first year, is always on edge.

Kuragi! Don't scatter things
all over the place!

Treasurer Machi Kuragi, a first year,

usually has her head bowed
and barely speaks.

Seriously! How long are
the president and vice president

going to be out on their rounds?

They've bloomed beautifully.

Oh, thank you very much.

We're short on members,
so we're doing the best we can.

I can tell you're working very hard.

I'll come help if I have time
after I finish making my brief rounds.

Oh, will you really?

Yes. It might be later
in the afternoon, though.

Excuse me…

President, can you do something about him?

But vice president Kakeru Manabe,
a second year,

is the biggest troublemaker of them all.

PRETTY BLOOM!
ORGANIC FERTILIZER

I just got so sleepy.

Going around to
all the clubs is so dull and blah.

It's so boring.

Why do we have to go around
and greet all the clubs anyway?

We're not pop idols
trying to woo our fans.

They should just come to us.

That would be called negligence,
Mr. Vice President.

How come?

There are things you can only find out

by talking to them
or seeing their club area.

We're not above them
just because we're the student council.

There's no point in a student council
unless we benefit the other students.

We are useful.

We're the School Defense Force
defending from evil villains.

Will you stop saying that as if it's real?

Who are these "villains" anyway?

Recruiting now.

-Nabe!
-What?

So this is where you're goofing off.
You want to play soccer?

I'm not goofing off! I'm on duty, idiot!

Are you diligently participating
in your club activities?

What? That's the last thing
I want to hear from you!

-Honestly…
-What are you doing anyway?

-…it's rough doing things with him.
-I'm making the rounds.

-He's the same breed as my brother…
-Well, come play once in a while.

-…but he also reminds me a little…
-I will. Once in a while.

…of him too.

People naturally congregate around him.

It's like he glows
with a light that I don't possess.

It's so bright that I feel like
I'm about to disappear.

That's so mean!
The amazing sign I made is gone!

I can't believe it! It was a masterpiece!

What are you talking about?

You mean that ludicrous sign?
I threw it away.

Oh, it was you, shorty?

You bugger! Here's what you get!

What are you doing,
you disgrace of the student council?

Stop it!

No way! Neenerhead!

Don't say nonsensical words!

Everyone, I'm back!

Lookie here, Yun-Yun!
I got a brand-new whiteboard!

What? But how?

Well, you see, I asked my teacher
pretty please and they gave it to me.

Is it okay for the teacher to do that?

Good job! That's our seductress!
You can't b*at something brand-new.

Doesn't it make you want to hold
a lengthy meeting?

Oh, there's something
I wanted to talk over with you guys.

-Can I write it down?
-What is it?

Let's see…

SCHOOL DEFENSE FORCE
COLOR ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT

I don't really get it, but this looks like
it's going to be pointless.

Okay, speak up
if you have a color request.

Don't ask us! Don't make us
discuss something so meaningless!

It is too! It's super meaningful!

Really, Nao, you have zero awareness that
you're part of the School Defense Force?

Come on, man. Seriously.

Do you have awareness
that you're the vice president?

Well, Yun-Yun should be Red
because he's the president.

Yes, that's absolutely right!

What? Is that how this works?

And I'm Black. Cool and stoic.

I appear standing on a tree
when other members are in a pinch.

Twig in mouth and sunset are optional.

In a pinch?

You're "cool"?

Nao, you're Yellow. And like curry.

Don't decide for me!

Why curry?

Right, who should be Pink?

You want to play rock-paper-scissors
for it, Machi and Kimi?

What? No way! I'm Pink! Pink is for me!

Pink is better for me,
and I like pink. That's that!

Todo, it's just a color.
You don't have to get so worked up.

What a meanie!
Yun-Yun won't call me "Kimi"!

-Even though we ate snacks together!
-Okay!

Calm down, Kimi.

Stop this nonsense! Are you all morons?

The first one to call someone
a moron is the real moron.

Moron!

-Oh, Nao's a moron.
-I've had it!

Maybe you should speak up.

-What color do you like, Kuragi?
-You're lacking common sense!

-Moron.
-What?

Moron.

That won't do, Yun-Yun!

Call Machi by her first name too.

I see. Machi, you wanted to be
called by your first name too?

Then you have to ask like I did.
Come on, go ahead.

You don't have to do it!

Kimi, don't force her to do things!

Don't worry. Anyway, I'm Pink, okay?

I cannot allow it to be
decided by unfair means!

How is it unfair?
Machi's saying she wants Yellow!

See? She's even fine
eating curry for three meals a day.

Let her go.

What should I do?
I need to get things under control soon.

I won't allow--

What's wrong with you guys?

Causing such a ruckus
over deciding on colors.

Seriously,

isn't it idiotic to be discussing
color assignments in the first place?

I'm sorry! Yes, I'm the one
who brought it up in the first place!

The whiteboard!

The brand-new white board
is being covered with idiotic words.

Man, I worked like a horse.

You did not! You didn't at all!

Yun-Yun!

See you tomorrow!

See you, Yun-Yun.

Yes.

SCHOOL DEFENSE FORCE
COLOR ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT

SWAMP BROWN - ME!
PINK - KIMI

LEADER YUN-YUN, VICE-LEADER - ME!
RED - YUN-YUN

Hey, Nabe!
You want to go grab a bite somewhere?

Sure…

Well, are you sure you can help?

I don't mind.
You're short on people, right?

I just need to transport this, right?

Yes, thank you so much!

Yun-Yun!

Oh, you're still here?

What are you up to, Yun-Yun? Helping out?

Yes, kind of.

Hey, you're not walking home
with that girl, Tohru Honda, today?

She's secretly popular
because you're close to her.

What's she to you? Do you like her?

Why do you ask?

Well, just thinking
what a bittersweet love it must be.

Because you know, that orange-haired…
Was his name Kyo? Your cousin.

He looks like her boyfriend.

I see.

I'm right? Am I right? I knew it!

Makes sense. I mean, that Kyo kid
looks happier than you, Yun-Yun.

So I look unhappy?

Is it fun to go on about
who looks happy or who looks unhappy?

Is it fun to compare people by
weighing their happiness on balance scales

and seeing who's better?

Does it make you happy?

Shut up.

Why the hell are you getting so pissed?
The heat get to you or something?

You're the one who's pissed!

I'm not pissed! I got annoyed
from that arrogant lecture of yours!

Doesn't that mean you're pissed?

Shut it! Are you my mom or something?

Who are you calling your mom?
Stop saying sickening things!

I'm the one who's grossed out
by you, goody two-shoes!

Blockhead!

Oh, really? Fine!

Better than someone
who pretends to know everything!

I know!
That's just the kind of person I am!

That's right! I was lecturing
myself just now! Sorry!

I instantly compare myself to others and
almost lose myself to how inferior I feel.

I feel like I'm about to disappear.

That's right.
Another part of me whispers in my ear

that maybe he's better fit
to be president, not me.

I immediately try to run away
with my weak thoughts.

Yes. I'm the one who got pissed.

Sorry.

The biggest troublemaker is me.

To me, I am the "villain."

The enemy I should be fighting
is always within me.

Hey.

Where should I look from
so that I can see the same things as you?

How can I see someone else's perspective

and understand someone's feelings
before I hurt them?

You surprised me.
You said the exact same thing as her.

You surprised me and it annoyed me.

I mean, I'm jealous.

I'm jealous of you, Yuki.
You understand others.

I went too far too. Sorry.

I mean, I just never learn.

Oh, no! The seedlings!

What have you done?

Whoa, you scared me. I'm to blame.

I know that. It couldn't have
been the president!

So mean! Don't worry!

I'll take responsibility
and plant all of them.

Oh, but…

There's no point in a student council
unless we benefit the other students!

Right, leader?

You murmured it so humbly.

I'm jealous.

It made me want to cry.

Flip it over yourself.

Oh, come on. That makes me
not want to do it even more.

I frantically held in my tears.

I'm sorry! I regret my actions.
I won't do such a rude thing again!

Who are you? What are you talking about?

Okay, bye!

Hey, who the heck are you?

At least know what our vice president
looks like, Kyon-Kyon.

LEADER YUN-YUN, VICE-LEADER - ME!
RED - YUN-YUN

If we can gain understanding of
one another like this, despite conflict…

I'm starting to think that
being with others…

might not be such a bad thing.

"I Might as Well Die, Then…"
