01x03 - School Choir Crush

[bunniefuu]

[Yuma] A leak site?

[Yuzuki] Yeah. You know the site
that Komori's relationship was leaked on?

[Yuma] Oh. Yeah. On that counseling page?

That's right. They say a bunch of info
is being leaked on there now.

- Ah.
- Things like who's doing who, you know?

- Mm.
- Who's kissing, and so on.

Right.

They're probably stricter on there
than they are in student council.

[Ichica] This is too good to pass up.

["Kaltes Klares Wasser" playing]

The administrator of the page
is Miss Shinoda,

{an8}the school counselor.

{an8}I had to find out her password.

The hidden camera was expensive,
but I had no choice.

I leaked some info on Ikeda the other day.

Why would you?

She's dating a boy in our class.
Didn't you know?

- [girl 1] Katase.
- Oh, really?

Yeah. It's annoying enough to have
the boys in the choir club with us.

Can't they hold the romance
for our competition?

[girl 1] Okay.

- I know, right?
- [girl 1] Kondo.

[Kondo] Here.

[Yuzuki] Honestly,
I don't like the vibes in here.

STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICE

[Yuma] Hmm?

You know,
with the students spying on each other?

Yeah.

But you know that some might see romance
and the opposite sex as a nuisance.

[Yuzuki] Yeah,
I suppose I can understand that.

I wonder if people treat this leak site
as a game of sorts.

They're snitching
on other people they don't like.

Yeah, that's a really scary thought.

[Yuzuki] Right?

Whoever first leaked
Komori's relationship,

this is all their fault.

It's still shocking.

[door opens]

Yuzuki. Patrol.

[Yuzuki] Oh. Sorry.

- [door closes]
- Good job today!

Sorry.

It's obvious you still like Nashiki.

Be honest if you do, and just say it.

I told you I don't, okay?

It sure seems like you still do.

Yuzuki?

You know, I really do
feel kinda bad for you.

I know how you feel.

It's just that you're
a little narrow-minded.

- [pensive music playing]

Would you like an appointment?

[Sawa] Oh, do I need an appointment?

We've got a little time until my next one.

What's the matter?

[Ikushima] Here. It's for your father.

Thank you. He'll appreciate it.

I was going to see him in person
and give it to him myself.

So, if you could,
please... thank him for his donation.

I will.

Also,

a student has asked me
for counseling regarding this site.

[intriguing music playing]

She seems to be worried

because she knows what she had posted
on there got a student expelled.

It's turning into a leak site,

and I think we should
reconsider how we run it.

Which student,
from which class, and what year?

I'm afraid
that information's confidential.

If you say who,
would exposing that be an issue?

[breathes deeply]

I decide who gets to stay here.

The student who came to you
will not be punished.

However, I need to have a firm grasp
on the severity of the situation.

So again, which student,
which class, and what year?

I'm a graduate...
of the Ranka Girls' Academy as well.

I didn't know that.

[Ikushima] I must protect the dignity
and traditions of this school.

It's my mission
to raise and educate you all

so that each of you
will become true ladies.

[unsettling music playing]

Is it hard for you

to regulate all the students' romances
and love lives?

Yes.

Even so...

it's not wrong
what you're doing with this information.

Listen to me.

Being intimate with these boys...
will only hurt you in the end.

And then as soon as you have been hurt,

you can never go back
to the woman you were.

Listen carefully.

I want you to assume a position

where you can guide everyone

I'd love to if you're okay with me.

No, he's just my friend. That's it.

We're a coed school now. Why not try?

But seriously,
it was so much easier before.

[giggles]

I wanna talk to him, but what if he thinks
I'm a weirdo or something?

I know he won't think so.

If I didn't already have expectations,
I wouldn't worry so much about it.

Oh, you really like him.

[moans]

Just forget it.
I don't wanna risk anything right now.

That's all.

Everyone here will start

[students] Okay.

[Yuzuki] Hey.

What?

Isn't this a bit strict?

There's too many patrols.
Some of us have club activities.

[Sawa] That's why I put
the executives on shifts as well.

Do you even understand
why they call it "Rabbit Hunting"?

Because that's what they act like.

Rabbits are constantly in heat.

[indistinct chattering]

Something's definitely going on
at the library.

For sure. [chuckles]

- [Ichica] Do you need some help?
- I'm just summarizing, so it's okay.

Okay.

Bye.

Hey, Kanda. You like Ichica, don't you?

Want me to help you?

So that's the kind of person you are.

I don't get it.

You like interfering.

And what's your deal?

Is there anyone here that you're into?

Huh? No! No one.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

In that case, do you think you could stay
and help me out with my work?

Yeah. Of course. It's just...

[Atsushi] Hmm?

"In that case." What do you mean by that?

[laughs]

[both laughing]

- What did I mean by that?
- What are you saying?

[both laughing]

- Uh...
- Um...

Let's discuss the homepage renewal.

- You're in charge of it, right?
- Mm.

They found out that
I'm really good at computer systems.

That is a really tough task,
but I can assist you.

- Thank you.
- Mm.

So look at these photos here.

I don't know which one to use.

- Okay.
- I think maybe this photo of the school?

It's a little early,
but happy birthday, Haru.

Thank you.

What is it?

- Can I open it?

[Haruto] Wow.

This is nice.

Thank you.

- Yeah, that's right.

Are you fine with this?

Mm, if I don't make my own choices,

someone else will instead.

[Haruto] Hmm.
