01x06 - I thought you lived by yourself.

[bunniefuu]

Wait, so you confessed to Hiro-chan?!

I guess.

Seriously? Oh, crap!

And then? And then? How did it go?

She refused to process it.

Huh?

My confession's been shelved.

Do you mean because she likes someone else?

Or because she's thinking about it?

That's, well

I-It's just because Segawa-san likes

people who are smarter than her.

I've only won once,

so I have to beat her in ten more exams.

On top of that,

there's her fiancé to deal with!

I'm kinda confused, but in that

case, you can count on me.

I'll help you out.

Eh?

You really don't get girls, Nagi-kun.

Hiro-chan's just flustered because she didn't

expect to be confessed to out of the blue.

Uh-huh.

That's why she has you on hold.

She's trying to figure out if you're

cut out to be her boyfriend.

If I'm cut out to be? Why?

You're pretty dense for

such a smart guy, Nagi-kun.

Don't you think she would

have rejected you outright?

T-True!

But doesn't that mean she will

once I win ten more times?

Are you that dumb?

Sudden verbal abuse.

Keep pushing, like a bulldozer!

Isn't that hazardous?

That's why you have me.

I-I see.

All right, let's be ready to

crush our morning study session!

Right

I was kind of worried

when I switched schools,

but I think school's going to

be fun, thank goodness.

I never knew Nagi-kun had a crush, though.

Hurry up, Nagi-kun! We're going to be late!

Could you chill out a little?

Wait, we can't be going to school together.

There'll be a huge fuss at school if

people find out about our relationship.

I don't want Segawa-san to find out my

fiancée goes to the same school, either.

You're getting a ride, though, aren't you?

Oh, I stopped doing that.

I want to be more independent.

Huh

Okay, I'll see you there.

Hey, taxi!

What independence?!

Megurogawa Private Academy

What are you doing,

arriving at the same time?!

I just took the train like I always do!

Why did it take you so long in the taxi?!

The driver got the route wrong!

Morning.

Morning.

You're both early.

You came to school together?

Since when have you two been so close?

N-Nah, we just ran into each other here.

Exactly.

I was waiting for you guys,

and Nagi-kun got here first.

"Nagi-kun"?

You're already on a first-name basis?

Even I haven't called you—

Hiro-chan!

Let's get to the library.

Okay!

Be careful. Jeez.

Especially you.

Erika-chan, come on!

I'll be right there.

Th-This is going to be

a huge pain in the a*s.

So I was thinking, maybe Erika-chan

can start by reviewing first-year stuff

and slowly catch up to us.

I don't know if it'll be that easy.

She has a tutor help her with her homework.

Erika-chan's taking a while. She said

she was going to the bathroom

Oh, yeah.

I'll help you out.

Amano-san, what exactly are you scheming?

I'm here, you two!

Your cupid of love, Erika!

Cupi

S-S-Segawa-san, don't worry!

I swear, she's not being stupid or anything!

You're so cute, Erika-chan!

I'm here to deliver love.

Yay! Thank you!

I have such a bad feeling about this!

The Kamakura Shogunate

The rulers were powerful vassals, known as or ,

among which the bettou were the highest-ranked.

The of the Kamakura shogunate was deployed by Minamoto no Yoritomo.

Wada Yoshimori first served as the bettou, until he was defeated and replaced in the Wada w*r.

Could you work on this assignment, Cupid-san?

Got it.

Doesn't Segawa-san have any questions about

the cupid taking part in

our morning study session?

What do you think you're doing?

Speaking of, Hiro-chan

Yeah?

Nagi-kun might look like a loser,

but he's actually got a secret talent.

Oh?

I see that you're interested.

Believe it or not, he's really book smart.

I'm book smarter than he is!

He can cook, too.

I can make French cuisine.

And he can really win fights!

I'm a third-degree black belt myself.

Nagi-kun, do you have a moment?

I don't think you're good for each other.

You're just giving up after you

invited yourself into the situation?!

Don't you have any other hidden talents?!

Well, let's get to work, then.

Huh? Did you quit being a cupid?

Too bad.

I know!

Why don't I get you two to teach me?

That's a good idea.

Oh, I guess she hasn't

given up playing cupid.

So

Do you want the top student or the

second top student to teach you?

Which?!

Th-The top student, of course.

4 Genroku Culture

History is easier if you study it like it's

a story, instead of just memorizing words.

I see! That makes sense!

But she isn't saying she gets it.

What about you, then, Nagi-kun?

Me?

I keep going until I remember it.

Until I get it.

To be honest, you aren't going to

be able to keep up at our school.

If you want to catch up,

you'll need to study twice

no, three times as much as everyone else.

The Segawa method of studying

is easy to understand,

but it's inefficient and time-consuming.

So I don't think it's a

good fit for you right now.

Y-You really don't hold back, do you?

Okay, so what am I supposed to do, exactly?

Read through the textbook, and then

keep doing practice questions.

There's no way I'm going to memorize

all these kanji-ridden words.

I don't like doing the

same thing over and over!

You still keep doing it until you get it.

I can't do it!

Stop giving up so quickly.

No!

I want studying to be easy!

There's no easy way to study.

Buck up and endure it.

You know

You know, you two

You kind of look good together.

Huh?!

I-In what way?

See? That kind of thing.

No fair.

I want to get closer, too.

I want to get to know Erika-chan better.

I know!

Okay!

I'm going to pay a visit to Erika-chan's

place after school today.

That was a close one.

Now what?! She says she's coming over!

Stay calm.

Why don't you just bring

her to your parents' home?

Oh, right.

Segawa-san must be freaking out at how

gorgeous her place is right about now.

Wait

Doesn't that mean

I get this place to myself today?!

I've always wanted to try this once

The buck naked life!

There's nothing to hold me down right now!

Absolute freedom!

Hooray for nude living!

I'm going to get hooked on this.

So you live here by yourself right now?

Yeah, I do.

That's amazing.

It's so huge.

Is it?

This is the living room.

Wow, it's so spacious.

Wh-Why are they here?!

What's going on?!

My place is being renovated. RIP

My place is being renovated. RIP.

You have a pool!

Everything's so huge.

Shh!

You didn't have to bring

her here instead, did you?!

You could have just said, "Next time!"

But my helper was like

Why don't you visit your current home?

I want to check it out!

Also, why didn't you answer when I called?

I missed it!

But my

helper was like

Also,

why didn't you

answer when I called?

Sorry

And why

are you naked?

And why are you naked?

Show me around your place.

O-Okay.

This is really bad.

If Segawa-san finds out

I'm living with her

Umino-kun

Die.

I have to do something!

I need to collect all my stuff!

This is my room.

Come in.

Yay!

Now's the worst time to have

so much laundry piled up.

Okay, what else?

Sorry it's such a mess.

It wasn't that bad.

Huh?

There's a room here, too.

Oh, that's just

Buy some time!

Just do something!

I-It's a shekrit.

That's just gonna make her more curious!

I guess it's private, huh?

I won't impose, then.

Soz, soz.

What are you doing,

getting rescued by Segawa-san?!

Oh, I know! I'll show you the kitchen.

Crap!

Not yet!

Huh?

There are two rice bowls in here.

I thought you lived by yourself.

Yeah, true

Right.

Jeez, you should do your dishes more often.

Apologies.

She's being saved again.

W-Want to check out the pool?

I was hoping you'd say that!

Whoa, it's the pool you had on Inusta.

Yup.

Now's your chance!

Go hide in your room!

I know!

What was that?

What the hell are you doing, Nagi-kun?!

Sorry, Hiro-chan, I

We actually slipped and fell in the pool

What a cliché!

Though, is it just me, or was

there someone in the living room?

I-It must've been that cat over there.

Anyway, let's take a shower.

Okay.

I've managed to finish getting all my stuff.

I guess I'll study to k*ll time.

Seriously, what was that?

Another gecko?

I saw something!

The yard! It was in the yard, right?

The yard?

It's gorgeous.

Is this it?

Erika-tan's new home?

Yeah, this is it for sure.

Don't underestimate my sleuthing skills.

This is the house I could

see in the reflections

in the glass and her eyes

in the photos she posted.

The houses nearby look identical, too.

Y-You sure are the model fan.

Why don't we get another

look inside her house?

She might even be home.

Hey.

You guys again?

Stalkers!

I-It's him! The delusional self-declared

contractual boyfriend!

Why are you here?!

Doxxing people and walking

up to their homes

That's seriously messed up.

You're one to talk!

Shibata-san! It's time!

I've been waiting for this.

I've been training like mad for

the past few weeks to beat you!

Let's find out who the true Erika fan is!

Shibata-san!

We have company right now.

Please leave, quietly.

We'll get you next time!

We won't forget this!

Next time, I'm calling the cops.

Huh? There's no one here.

That's weird. I definitely heard voices.

Was it the kitty again?

Jeez, kitty cat burglar. Stop it.

Let's go.

Amano-san's finally about to make a friend.

Those assholes would just

ruin her opportunity.

I had fun today.

Thank you.

For the clothes, too.

Yeah.

I wish I could have done more

for you while you're here.

Sorry.

Why?

I mean, the pool and stuff.

Never mind that, Erika-chan.

Can I come over again?

Yeah, of course you can.

Okay, next time I'm here, let's study and

cook and play in the pool and stuff.

Yeah, we have to do that.

You've forgotten I live

here, too, haven't you?

Okay, thanks for having me over.

Yeah, see you tomorrow.

Isn't this

Shrine Stamp Book

Yeah, it is.

Why is Umino-kun's shrine stamp book here?

Damn it! I forgot to grab it.

Oh, that's, um

I made a mistake.

I was going to borrow his notebook,

but I took that instead.

I'm going to give it back to him tomorrow.

Oh, that makes sense.

I totally thought Umino-kun came here.

To think you're sharing notebooks, though

When did you two get so close?

A-Are we?

I don't think we are.

Although, you know how Nagi-kun takes

everything he does really seriously?

He's really hardworking.

I thought I should learn from him a bit.

Maybe.

But you could rely on me, too, couldn't you?

Will do, next time.

Okay, see you tomorrow.

I guess

those two are pretty close.

All right.

She invited us over to study,

but who would have thought

Hiro-chan's family runs a shrine?

Hey, you guys.

Thanks for coming.

You're a shrine maiden!

You look so good!

I wanted you to come to my place this

time, since you had me over last time.

Including Umino-kun,

since he's a morning study buddy.

Sorry, I'm in the middle of work.

Give me a second.

So this is what she meant by "work."

Hang on a second

Does Segawa-san's family run

an insanely huge shrine?!

Oh, right, I need to collect the stamp.

Welcome.

Segawa-san, you're going to do my stamp?!

Umino-kun,

There's something I want to tell you.

I'll be waiting on the rooftop

after school!

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSegawa Hiro

Come to think of it, her handwriting

You were just thinking

dirty thoughts, weren't you?

Public Worship

Meguro Myoujin

Writing in brush and in pen

are two different things.

Keep that in mind.

Hot damn!

Something just escaped out of Nagi-kun.

My stamps are pretty popular, you know.

I never thought I'd ever get to

come to Segawa-san's place

And I even got a hand-written stamp!

Now that work's done, let's begin studying.

Here?!

Sake Steamed Buns

Cuckoos

Meguro Snacks

Don't worry, there are no services today.

Is that really the issue?

This might be the first time

Hiro's brought any friends over.

Welcome.

I'm Hiro's mother.

Th-Thank you for having us.

Here you are.

Thank you very mu—

Jeez, Mom, go away.

Enjoy your stay.

Sake Steamed Buns

Cuckoos

Meguro Snacks

Okay, wanna start?

Yup.

Let's dig in!

We aren't studying?!

She's wary of me.

I get it

Segawa-san must be

Thank you for the food.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Turn left at the end of the hallway.

Umino-kun

Do you get what I meant

when I said I'm engaged?

You meant you're inheriting this place.

That's right.

Have you told Amano-san yet?

No, I haven't.

Really? I thought you would have

by now, since you're so close.

I don't think I could, you know?

I wouldn't want to burden

her with such a heavy story.

I guess.

I do think it's heavy.

So why did you tell me, then?

I thought you'd be willing

to take on the burden.

That's what it seemed like.

I guess.

Does she mean

Segawa-san—

Hey, look! Look!

I'm Erika the shrine maiden!

You're so cute!

Your mom let me try it on.

Oh, man!

Good job, Mom!

Can I take a picture?

Sure. Let's take one together.

She's right.

I don't think Amano-san needs that burden.
