01x13 - Things aren't quite working out, are they?

[bunniefuu]

U-mi-no-kun!

So midterms are starting today.

How's it looking?

We're betting all our

pencil leads on you again.

Yeah.

He's so focused.

Oh, man.

Get 'em!

Do it!

Dad told me

Close your eyes.

And picture in your mind

Who's the precious one calling your name?

Umino-kun.

Nagi-kun.

Onii.

That's your future bride.

Anyway, your romance is just getting started.

Don't rush it so much.

I do feel anxious, though.

Of course I do.

Wasn't I in love with Segawa-san?

Begin.

Amano-san has some

issues with her personality,

but conventionally speaking, she's cute.

But I don't have any feelings for her.

I don't think.

That was

Yeah, that was a kind of empathy.

Both of us are troubled by having our

parents setting us up to get married.

I just relate to her.

Probably.

So what about Sachi?

She's my sister, but she's not.

Which means

What's wrong with me?!

Umino's sighing

Is this exam that hard?

Crap, I gotta focus.

Ten more minutes.

sh**t.

Focus! Focus!

Thank God exams are finally over!

Same.

I don't want to see any

numbers or letters for a while.

Nagi-kun, let's celebrate.

Yeah!

I want something sweet.

Help me make dinner first!

Gonna order cake.

What do you want, Sachi-chan?

That one with ice cream on it.

Listen to me!

Amano-san is

You're my fiancé, aren't you?

Like, I mean

Do you like me?

What?!

It's not that I like you!

Yet!

She's already back to normal, after all that.

Is dinner ready yet? I'm getting hungry.

It'll be ready soon. At least help set the table.

Okay.

Good morning!

Mornin'!

Damn it

I've been thinking so much,

I can't think anymore.

Morning, Umino-kun.

M-Morning.

Are you back to normal yet?

It seemed like something

was wrong during the exams.

Nope, I'm fine.

Let's go to class.

Okay.

You look good in your summer uniform, ma'am.

Why so polite?

Segawa-san's still cute!

I'm returning your midterm results.

What happened to your momentum, Umino?

I'm thirteenth?

Seriously, Umino?

What happened?

That last one must have just been a miracle.

Um, this

This has to be some kind of mistake, right?

No mistake.

Next.

Segawa.

Yes, sir.

You got your first place back.

Congrats.

Why?

How did this happen?

Well, if it isn't Mr. Umino.

He appears horribly dejected.

How Icarus has fallen.

That was quite the sudden end.

Much like Akechi Mitsuhide's three-day reign.

What a shame!

Hey, Uminocchi

I lost a lifetime's worth of pencil leads.

Hope you do better next time.

We're rooting for you.

Come on, man.

My pencil leads

Umino-kyun!

It's a'ight, dude.

TBH, my grades tanked because I was staring

at Erika-chan's face the whole time.

Erika-chan in serious mode

is such a snack, am I right?

Is Hiro-chan mad about something?

Welcome home, Onii.

I wonder if something happened at school.

Actually, get this: his exam grades fell.

He's back to second again?

Nope.

Thirteenth.

What?! Onii's thirteenth?!

Apparently.

That's still pretty amazing,

but he's so bummed about it.

I've never heard of him

being lower than second.

What the hell am I doing?

The only reason I can think of

is that I got c*ck

because I placed first once.

Why are you so obsessed with studying?

Well, y'know

I want to give my parents

a comfortable life someday.

That's all.

I totally forgot about that, didn't I?!

One win and ten losses!

I'm still above you!

Therefore your confession

today shall not be processed.

Then I'll beat you next time, too!

So if I beat you again, and again, ten more

times, will you go out with me then?

And now I'm way down at thirteenth!

I'm so embarrassed!

So sad! This is so sad I'm going to explode!

No wonder Segawa-san would look

at me with so much contempt.

I let my guard down.

Two months since I found

out about being engaged

and started living with Amano-san

Now that Sachi-chan's here, we have to

be positive about us living together.

It's an amusement park

Is this actually a proper date?!

Give it to me!

Wait! I'll take a proper one this time!

Mother's Day?

Yeah.

Come shopping with me.

A study group?

I only ended up studying for an hour!

It's awesome!

Can you keep up with me

if I go all-out, Umino-kun?

Nagi-kun.

You're going on a date with me.

I haven't been studying at all.

Umino-tei Diner

It's not like when I would

help out at home sometimes

and otherwise focus on studying.

What's left of me if I fall behind at school?

It's like I'm no longer myself.

Nagi-kun!

When is dinner?!

Eh?

Guuurgle

Don't "Eh?" me!

When are you going to make dinner?

I've been waiting for two hours now!

That's not my problem!

You don't know what I'm going through.

How am I supposed to?!

Why would I?

Just because you were thirteenth

Shut up!

I'm trash if I'm not first!

Thirteenth is godly.

I don't need your half-assed reassurances.

You don't know how big of a deal

it is that I didn't get first!

Schoolwork is all I've got going for me!

What do you mean, it's all you've got?!

Don't you remember what I said?

I like hanging out with you.

Are you saying it doesn't matter how I feel?

That's not the point.

I ended up forgetting about studying

because I was having so much fun.

Well, if it was fun, then what's the problem?

Like I said

I don't care if you got first or thirteenth.

You're just as valuable either way!

Why are you the one so angry here?

Because I'm hungry.

Just hurry up and make dinner already.

Fine, fine.

I'm getting hungry, too.

You're always hungry.

Thank you for dinner.

I'm so full, I can't move anymore.

Don't tell me later that's why you got fat.

You're worthless if you can't cook.

True.

Who do you think you are?

Okay!

It's a new morning.

That's right

I'm reborn.

Kyaaaah

Waaaah

Why are you showering first

thing in the morning?!

So what if I am?!

I'm purifying myself!

What the heck?! That doesn't even make sense!

Time to declare w*r against Segawa-san again.

I'm placing first on the next exam.

I have to win eleven times so

we can fulfill our promise.

I've never lost to anyone before,

but supposing I ever do

Would my fate change if I

met someone that amazing?

Umino-kun

Could you please change my fate?

I'll do it!

Library

She's not here.

She's here!

Segawa-sa—

Huh? Where's Hiro-chan?

She's not here yet.

Oh.

We didn't have to bother coming

at different times, then.

Now, then

No, uh

What about studying?

I will.

When Hiro-chan gets here.

Hiro-chan says she's going to be late.

She says she's on her way.

You're slacking, Amano-san!

There's no way you can keep up with

Megurogawa's classes that way.

Now!

Get your textbook.

Open your notebook.

Put your snacks away.

Pick up your pen!

You're too strict, Nagi-kun.

You have to treat me nicer,

or I'm not going to want to study.

I'm always nice!

Anyway, wake me up when

Hiro-chan's almost here.

I haven't been sleeping well lately.

That's because you're always

on your phone at night!

Silence in the library, Nagi-kun.

It's your fault, Amano-san!

Sure, sure.

Goodnight.

Wake up!

Segawa-san

Yeah?

Uh

I didn't see you at the

study session this morning.

Sorry, I realized I left something

at home, so I had to go back.

Ah.

You seem to be doing better.

Oh, well, I guess.

Getting thirteenth did suck

But it was my fault.

There's no point dwelling on it, I guess.

I thought I should have

a fresh start, you know?

Amano-san gave me an earful, too.

I see.

So, um.

I wanted to talk

Huh?!

Erika-chan!

I could watch her forever.

She's so pretty.

Is it just my imagination?

Your skin's so flawless, Amano-san.

Hey, is it okay if I touch it?

Huh? Oh, sure.

No way.

I've been holding back

wanting to touch her, too.

Really?

I was dying to when I took a shower

with her at her place, too.

Say what? I never heard anything about that.

Tell us more.

I'll tell you about it next time.

Please?

Come on, tell us more.

Please.

Urp.

Segawa-san

is avoiding me!

Yikes!

Bruh, what?

Umino-kun, does your head hurt?

It hurts

My heart hurts

The more I think about it,

the less I can live with the reality.

You good?

Wanna go for karaoke?

But why?

She might be disappointed in

me for getting thirteenth,

but why is she so blatantly avoiding me?

To Umino-kun

Umino-kun,

I'll be waiting for you

behind the gym after school.

From Segawa Hiro

Umino-kun,

I'll be waiting for you

behind the gym after school.

From Segawa Hiro.

What is this about?

I see.

That's pretty bad.

It's over, Nagi-kun.

All that awaits you is the

netherworld, or the underworld

Or maybe hell.

So nothing but hell!

Hiro-chan has every reason to be angry.

Ang—

I don't know what she would

be angry about, though.

You're way too dense, Nagi-kun.

But it was my grade that dropped.

That's the point!

You were flexing so hard

about coming in first,

and now you've let yourself

fall to thirteenth.

That's more than just a disappointment.

I'd give up on you.

I'd want my expectations back.

I might not feel better until I punched you.

B-But you said I'm still me,

no matter what my rank is.

That's how I am.

Hiro-chan's not like me.

That's just how much she

respected you as a rival.

In other words, what you've

done is tantamount to betrayal.

That face

So that's what that was about?

Go get yourself punched really hard.

Your expression doesn't

match what you're saying!

So, anyway, my personal life

had gotten kinda complicated.

I didn't notice I wasn't studying as much.

So, like

I'm sorry I disappointed you.

I promise I'll place first next time.

So please, watch me.

Umino-kun! Pass!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Okay!

I'll get it!

Things aren't quite working out, are they?

I definitely felt let down yesterday.

But you know

As your rival, I was sure I knew

how you felt better than anyone.

Yet you seemed all better this morning.

But I guess it was Erika-chan, huh?

I always thought I was the one

who could cheer you up, Umino-kun.

I still love Segawa-san.

Back to first place!

Back to first!

Power of Love

Back to first!

Shut up!

Leave me alone!

I'm on fire right now!

Seriously, just shut up!

Sachi-chan's sleeping!

By the way

Could you help me with studying?

I cannot.

Just hear me out.

I really need to get a decent

grade on the next exam.

Why do you care now?

You can always just use Dad's power.

Or even if you got a crappy grade,

you could still get by.

That won't work this time.

Why not?

They want me back home if

I b*mb the makeup exam.

What?!
