Even a baobab is little before it grows big.
But why do sheep desire to eat the baobab?
Don't you know?
Wrong!
Don't you know what the baobab is a metaphor for?
You know, don't you?
The prince should be shyly tempting with his upturned eyes!
Then "I" knows he's being tempted.
It's more like he's teasing!
Once more from the top!
Even a baobab... is little before it grows big.
But why do sheep desire to eat the baobab?
Don't you... know?
Can't you boys do it properly?
We are!
Will you make it in time for the performance?
We're counting on the Mu Star after all.
Ah, is the wardrobe done?
Let me see!
Wow, this is amazing!
Hikkii
Hello?
Why the sudden call?
Is everything okay?
Did you know Yukinoshita was absent today?
Eh?
It seems she's not feeling well.
hi no michiru kono heya sotto toki o matsu yo
陽の満ちるこの部屋 そっとトキを待つよ
Within this gleaming, sunlit room, I lazily watch as time flows by
kizukeba ukande nagameteru hako
気づけば俯瞰で眺めてる箱
By the time I notice, I'm looking down from above
onaji mesen wa naku
同じ目線は無く
But no one else looks at where I am
itsushika kokoro wa hakushoku futoumei
いつしか心は白色不透明
Too fast to stop, my heart had turned a solid white and all opaque
yuki ni ochita hikari mo chiru
雪に落ち た光も散る
It drops into the snow, scattering its radiance
kumo kara koboreru tsumetai ame
雲からこぼれる冷たい雨
Frigid rain plummets down from stormy clouds above
me o harasu no wa tooi harukaze dake
目を晴らすのは遠い春風だけ
My eyes will only open for distant spring breezes
azarea o sakasete atatakai niwa made
アザレアを咲かせて 暖かい庭まで
Watch as we bloom azaleas all across the warm garden
tsuredashite tsuredashite nante ne
連れ出して 連れ出して なんてね
Take me away, take me away, I'm just kidding
shiawase dake kaita otogibanashi nante nai
幸せだけ描いた お伽話なんてない
There's no such thing as fairy tales where everyone's always happy
wakatteru wakatteru soredemo ne
わかってる わかってる それでもね
I understand, I understand, but even then...
soko e ikitai no
そこへ行きたいの
I wish I could get there someday
Thus, the curtains of various stages rise,
and the festival becomes supremely festive.
Wow.
Pretending to be out?
If so, that's fine.
If she's feeling so bad that she can't answer...
Yes?
Yukinon?
It's Yui.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I'm fine, so...
"So..."
"So," what?
Is she trying to say "so leave"?
Just open the door.
Why are you here?
We need to talk.
Please, come in.
Take a seat over there.
So, what did you need to talk to me about?
Ah, um...
I was wondering if you were okay, since you took today off.
You're making quite the fuss over a single day of absence.
Aren't you really tired?
You still look pale.
I'm somewhat fatigued, but something like that...
...isn't an issue.
Is it really not an issue?
You shouldn't take on so much responsibility by yourself!
I know.
That's why I allocated some of the work.
In order to reduce the burden-
Even though it's not getting done?
I'm a bit angry, you know.
I'm angry at you too, Hikkii.
I told you to help her out if she's in trouble.
He has performed his duties as keeper of minutes satisfactorily.
That's sufficient.
But...
It's fine, there's still time.
I've been making progress at home,
so there should be no substantial delays.
It's nothing for you to be concerned about, Yuigahama-san.
That's not right.
Is that... so?
Rely on someone.
Get everyone to help.
Supporting each other is generally the correct thing to do.
I see.
But that's just being idealistic.
Someone will always get the short end of the stick.
That's why I don't feel like telling you to rely on others,
but your way of doing things is mistaken.
Then, do you know the correct way?
I have no idea.
However, the way you've been doing things up to now has definitely been wrong.
I apologise, I haven't even set out any tea.
It's fine, really.
I'll do it.
You needn't worry about my health.
After resting, I feel considerably better.
About your health, huh?
You know, Yukinon,
you can rely on me and Hikkii.
Not someone, or everyone,
but you should rely on us.
Hikkii is-
Is black tea okay?
Thank you, Yukinon.
Well, I'll be leaving.
Eh? Ah, me too.
Yuigahama-san.
Y-Yes?
You see...
...it's difficult right now, but...
...I'm sure, someday, I'll be able to rely on you.
So...
...thank you.
Yukinon...
However, I want to think it over a little more.
Yuigahama, I'll leave the rest to you.
Eh?
J- W-Wait!
The saying "change yourself and you change the world" is a lie.
A convenient lie pushed on you to force you to compromise.
I'll teach you the true way to change the world.
Oh, really?
Sagami-san, everyone's here.
Ah, yeah.
Yukinoshita-san?
With that, we'll begin the committee meeting.
The agenda for today, as President Shiromeguri announced previously, is the slogan for the culture festival.
Friendship•Hard Work•Victory
That seems wrong.
Interesting! Super Interesting!
~You can hear the sound of the sea breeze
Soubu High Culture Festival~
That's no good.
With heart and soul
Ugh... I think I know who wrote that.
Something like that seems good.
"One for all."
I kinda like it.
Something like that must be easy.
Eh?
One person is made to shoulder all the pain and then they're removed.
"One for all" must be something that happens often.
Hikigaya, you...
Well, last is ours.
☆Bonds
~Helping each other out
Culture Festival~
Ugh...
☆Bonds
~Helping each other out
Culture Festival~
What is it?
Is something wrong?
Nope, not really.
Is there something you'd like to say?
Nope, well... not really.
I see.
If you don't like it, give me another idea.
Well then...
☆People
~If you look closely, only some of them are enjoying themselves
Culture Festival~
"People: If you look closely, only some of them are enjoying themselves at the culture festival." How's that?
What an idiot!
We've got an idiot!
That's the best!
No good! My stomach hurts!
Haruno, you're laughing too much.
Well, I think it's pretty good.
If it's interesting, okay!
Hikigaya, an explanation.
Well, they say the character for "person" looks like two people supporting each other, but...
...doesn't it look like one side is relying on the other to hold them up?
I think approving of someone becoming a sacrifice...
...is the general idea behind "person".
That's why I think it's appropriate for this culture festival and the culture festival executive committee.
By sacrifice, what specifically do you mean?
I'm a major sacrifice.
I'm being forced to work like an idiot.
Moreover, other people's work is being pushed on me.
What's more, is this what the executive committee chairman...
...refers to as "helping each other out"?
I've never been helped out, so I don't really know.
Hikigaya-kun,
rejected.
Sagami-san, let's end it here for today.
At any rate, it doesn't look like any satisfactory ideas will be presented.
Eh, but-
Trying to finish this in one day is a foolish choice.
Everyone in the executive committee should think about this on their own.
Let's decide tomorrow.
Concerning work, if everyone of us participates every day,
that should be more than enough to make up for lost time, correct?
Y-Yeah, that's right.
Well everyone, starting tomorrow, I'll be counting on you again.
Good work.
What was that?
Didn't he just make things easier for himself in the end?
Is this fine?
What?
I thought it best to resolve the misunderstanding.
I don't think the misunderstanding can be resolved.
The solution has already been presented.
With that, the problem is over.
You constantly make excuses over pointless things,
but you don't make excuses when it's important.
There's no point in making excuses.
When it's important, humans just judge things for themselves.
I see.
That might be the case.
Excuses are meaningless things.
Then I'll just have to repeat the question.
More to the point, what was that earlier on?
It didn't even make a fragment of sense.
It was better than yours, at least.
What are you, a thesaurus?
It's astonishing how little you change.
There's no way a human would change that quickly.
You were especially strange from the start.
You've said too much.
When I look at you, I feel that the way I try to force things to change is rather stupid.
Later.
Right, farewell.
See you tomorrow.
Council Room
Chiba's famous dance and festival!
Let's dance like idiots
With that, this year's slogan is decided.
Chiba's famous dance and festival!
Let's dance like idiots
Sagami-san, I think it's best that we proceed with the notices for the slogan.
Ah, yeah.
Well then, please prepare the notices.
All right men, hurry up with the posters!
Vice Chairman, the test upload for the homepage is complete!
Understood.
Sagami-san, confirmation.
Eh? Ah...
Yeah, okay.
Then please transfer it over to the real site.
Understood.
Hey hey, working hard?
As you can see.
It doesn't look like you're working hard.
Recording Duties
What? I'm going at it as hard as I can!
After all, these minutes don't contain any mention of your achievements, Hikigaya-kun.
Here's a quiz.
What's the most effective method for uniting a group of people?
A cruel leader?
There you go, even though you know.
It's the presence of an enemy.
Well, the enemy is just a little bit of an accessory.
Leave me alone.
But if it's an enemy like you, the spirit of opposition emerges.
If the enemy doesn't try hard, he won't mature.
It's through conflict that skills develop!
Ugh, annoying.
Say, could it be that, for Yukinoshita, you intentionally-
I hate perceptive kids.
Handyman, do your job.
Now that the slogan has been decided, the accompanying paperwork needs to be completed.
After that, keeping the minutes.
Send each group an e-mail notifying them about the slogan,
and while you're at it,
bring in the project application forms and upload them to the server.
In any case, I expect it by the end of the day.
What should I do?
You're in the way, so go home.
That's horrible!
You're horrible, Yukino-chan!
Well, I just had some free time, so I decided to come help.
I need to review the budget, so if you must help, do that.
Okay!
This is how a real culture festival committee should be!
Ah, I want to finish right away!
Three minutes to curtain.
This is Yukinoshita.
Reporting to everyone.
Progress is on time.
If there's a problem, report it immediately.
No lighting problems.
This is PA.
No problems.
Green room here.
The cast's preparations are progressing slowly,
however it seems they'll be ready in time for the performance.
Understood.
Then stand by until the cue is given.
Ten seconds left.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
Soubu High Culture Festival!!
~Chiba's famous dance and festival!
Let's dance like idiots
Everyone feeling cultured?
Chiba's famous dance and...
...festival!
Let's dance like idiots!
Sing a Song!
This is PA.
The opening song will finish shortly.
Understood.
Chairman Sagami, please stand by.
Now, a message from the executive committee chairman.
Ev-
Now, let's start it over.
Executive Committee Chairman, if you please.
It's pushing the clock.
Hikigaya-kun, give the order for her to hurry up.
I've been doing it.
It seems she didn't see.
I see.
Perhaps that was my mistake when selecting personnel.
Are you ridiculing me for my lack of presence?
My, I never said such a thing.
Moreover, where are you?
The audience?
You're totally ridiculing me!
I'm the culture festival executive committee chairman, Sagami Minami.
Actually, you can see me, can't you?
Vice Chairman, everyone can hear you.
This year's slogan is,
"Chiba's famous, dance and festival,
We'll speed up the schedule from here on.
let's dance like idiots. Sing a song."
I expect the same from each of you.
Let's dance like idiots
Chiba's famous festival and dance!

The ☆ Prince
I didn't understand anything!
I didn't mean to be deceived by his words!
He smelled nice...
...and was always sparkling!
It couldn't be helped.
You're still young.
You didn't know how he expresses his love.
What's with that role?
Maybe I should have been in it.
You shouldn't come tonight!
But why?!
Didn't you say we'd always be together?
That's strange.
Even the lines from the original work all sound like BL.
It may sadden you to look at me.
We'll always be together!
It can't be helped!
Give up on me!
We'll always be together!
This is no good.
If I don't do something soon...
So you chose him over me.
But it's fine.
We'll meet again soon.
After all, the sheep's muzzle I described...
...is broken.
Sheep...
On Break
Good work.
How was it?
Wasn't it good?
The audience seemed happy.
It's because everyone's been working hard this whole time.
I guess so.
It seems that way, doesn't it?
I wouldn't know, since I wasn't there.
You're in the cultural fest committee too, so you can't help not coming to class.
What's this?
Stop screwing with me.
Hurry and let us in!
That's just weird.
Whoa, that seems bad.
I don't think they'll be able to take control like that.
Everyone, if you please.
Please form a line over here.
The end of the line is over here.
Is the representative of Class E present?
Yukinon's so cool.
She seems to be feeling a bit better.
I guess so.
Hey, can I ask you something?
Hm? What?
When you were at Yukinoshita's place,
did you talk about something?
Nothing.
Huh?
After you left, we got hungry, so we ate together,
then we watched some DVD,
then I left.
So... we didn't talk about that thing you want to know about, Hikkii.
Reception
Well, it's not like I wanted to know.
Really?
I wanted to know about it though.
I decided to wait for Yukinon.
Yukinon probably wants to talk and become closer,
so I'll wait.
But I won't wait for someone who just waits without doing anything.
Hm?
Well, someone that doesn't do anything can't help but wait.
That's not it.
I'm not waiting.
I'll be the one to do something.
That so?
Yup.
Ah, I forgot.
You haven't had lunch yet, right?
Look, honey toast!
Oh...
It's not that strange, is it?
Hm? Wait, isn't this bread?
Couldn't they try a bit harder to erase the feeling that it's just bread?
The bread is totally exposed.
It's all bread.
So good!
The bread's hard.
The honey hasn't soaked into the middle.
It feels kind of dry and powdery too.
Is this a punishment game?
The cream is so good!
Is that really necessary for honey toast?
Furthermore, you stole that cream from me!
Well, it's good... I guess.
Ah, I'm full!
Oh yeah, how much is it?
It's fine. It's no big deal.
No, I can't accept that.
I said it's fine!
Even though I like to be supported, I don't like receiving charity.
What's with that pride of yours?
Fine.
In that case, next time you can treat me to honey toast, at Pasela.
Don't designate the place.
That means... that...
Ah.
Would something else be okay?
Yup, that's fine!
So, when will it be?
Ah, um...
Sorry, can you let me think about it a bit?
