01x01 - Alya Hides Her Feelings in Russian

[bunniefuu]

SEIREN ACADEMY

Good morning.

Good morning.

Who is that girl? She's so pretty.

Hey, look over there.

Isn't that Kujou?

We're in luck this morning.

ALISA MIKHAILOVNA KUJOU,

FIRST IN HER GRADE

EXCELS IN SPORTS,

THE STUDENT COUNCIL TREASURER

She's so elegant.

Hey, good morning, Kujou.

It's a refreshing morning, isn't it?

Good morning.

I don't think we've met before.

I'm Ando, a second-year student.

I've heard a lot about you

from your sister,

so I've always wanted to meet you.

So?

Would you like to have lunch with me?

No, thank you.

You're quite aloof.

Well,

can we at least exchange numbers?

I'm sorry.

I'm not interested in you.

If there's nothing else, I'll get going.

Also,

that's against school rules.

Unbelievable.

Ando who is super popular among the girls

got instantly rejected.

How high are her standards?

It's Kujou.

Good morning, Kuze.

Good morning, Kuze.

Stay up late watching anime again?

Good morning, Alya.

It's pretty much like that.

You never learn, do you?

Sacrificing sleep time

just to watch anime…

Of course you feel sleepy in school.

That's true, but the anime ends at 1 a.m.

I ended up talking

about my feedback for too long.

Feedback?

Do you mean sharing your feedback online?

No.

I called my otaku friends

and chatted for about two hours.

Are you a fool?

A fool?

Maybe.

If I'm a fool for expressing

my love for a piece of work

regardless of time and place,

then maybe I really am a fool.

I'm sorry.

I think you're a hopeless fool.

Alya, you're looking great today.

What?

Did you say something?

Nothing.

I just said you look ugly.

Well, I'm sorry.

BASIC CHEMISTRY, MATHEMATICS, AR

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I'm sorry, Alya.

Can I take a look

at your chemistry textbook?

What's wrong? Did you forget it again?

I think I left it at home.

Well, I don't mind.

Thank you.

Iron and cobalt.

Now, the next blank

should be filled with…

Kuze, do you know the answer?

I'm sorry.

Answer it if you do.

Yes.

What question are we on?

2. COPPER

It's number two, copper.

No.

Kujou, answer it for him.

Yes.

The answer is number eight, nickel.

That's right.

Kuze, pay attention in class.

Okay.

Don't tell me the wrong answer

without batting an eye.

I only told you what question we were on.

You were clearly pointing at number two.

That's an awful accusation.

Your eyes tell a different story!

What did you say?

I said you're a fool.

How cute.

Why do you say I'm cute?

What exactly do you mean?

You said the same thing just now.

I understood everything.

You're blushing like a baby.

Who're you calling a baby?

When I was in elementary school,

I used to play with a Russian girl

who lived near my grandpa's house.

I think I learned it over time.

Even now, I can still understand

most of the Russian language.

It's just that

I didn't expect to meet someone like her.

The Russian beauty who sits next to me

only uses Russian to hide her feelings.

If I were to tell her now

that I understood everything…

I can't bring myself to say it.

Except in emergencies

and for educational purposes,

it's against school rules

to use a mobile phone in school.

Then I didn't break any school rules.

Because this is an emergency.

Just asking.

How is this an emergency?

Because in 10 minutes,

the free card draw will be over.

How dare you say that in front

of a member of the student council?

The SSR's Tsukuyomi is here!

Confiscated!

No.

"Tsukuyomi"?

Tsukuyomi is the moon god

in Japanese mythology, right?

Why does she have silver hair

instead of black?

Who knows?

Maybe it's to match the moon.

Don't worry about the details.

She's cute after all.

Thank you for understanding.

It's really Lord Tsukuyomi.

I'm also silver-haired, you playboy.

What did you say?

I said you're a loser.

Hey, that's rude.

What?

You called me, a freemium user, a loser.

Don't you think it's rude to those

who are true addicts, aka the P2W whales?

You're right.

I don't think anyone wants

to be compared to you.

That's harsh.

You looked so serious.

I thought you'd say something important.

Hey, I didn't expect you to say that.

It's not an exaggeration

to say that's my strength.

That's the biggest lie of the century.

There's still 80% of the century left…

ORDERING COUNTER

I want to be popular!

Masachika, what are you eating?

Extra spicy mapo ramen.

Hey, don't ignore me.

I thought it was just your usual outburst.

This is why I hate popular guys.

Hey, they're the members

of the student council.

I guess we're late.

I wonder if there are any seats left.

It's okay.

I'll just eat

with my classmates over there.

Masha, thank you for your consideration.

The Kujou sisters are really beautiful.

Kujou is stunning.

I really want to get to know her.

But it seems like Kujou has a boyfriend.

Apparently, every guy who confesses to her

is turned down by her

because she's already dating someone.

Even if she doesn't have a boyfriend,

Takeshi doesn't stand a chance.

Shut up!

Don't get c*ck just because

you're friends with Princess Alya.

I'm so jealous.

I can't believe

you're allowed to address

that aloof princess with a nickname.

It's cool, I guess…

All I do is annoy her all the time.

It's still better

than being treated indifferently.

Princess Alya doesn't talk

to anyone anyway.

We've been sitting

next to each other for over a year.

If I were to choose someone

to approach among them,

Suou seems like the better option.

She's more approachable.

I think I'd have a better chance

with her than Princess Alya,

even though she's still out of my league.

Do you think there's any chance?

But it seems like

she has rejected confessions

more times than Kujou.

You're right.

Maybe she has a fiancé…

like many girls from affluent backgrounds.

Masachika, any news from your end?

Why are you asking me?

Because you…

Masachika, can we sit here?

Well, I don't mind.

You guys are fine too, right?

Uh-huh.

Sure. Please have a seat.

Thank you.

I see you ordered

the same thing, Masachika.

I didn't know you ate

that kind of food, Suou.

You don't have to be so formal.

We're in the same grade after all.

Well, okay.

And yes, of course I eat ramen.

I often go out to eat on weekends.

It's delicious,

but I feel like it could be spicier.

Right?

If only we had some chili oil.

Maybe we can bring it up

at the next student council meeting.

Wait, how could you mix

public and personal matters?

I'm just kidding.

Are you two close?

We're childhood friends.

Childhood friends?

Yes.

We've been going to the same school

since kindergarten.

I see.

By the way, are you two close?

We're just getting to know each other.

At the very least,

I want to be friends with Alisa.

Even if you become friends with me,

I don't think you'll find it fun.

In other words,

you don't mind

being friends with me, right?

Well, I guess so.

Well, we're done eating.

Please excuse us.

I can't stand it!

They're too dazzling for me!

By the way,

Masachika,

have you thought about the offer

to join the student council?

I've told you many times.

I have no intention of joining it.

If you join the council,

you should be able

to work well with me and Alisa.

After all, you were the vice president

of the student council.

When we were in middle school,

I was the president

and Masachika was the vice president.

I see.

I was only joining

because Yuki asked me to.

In our school's student council election,

the president

and vice president had to team up,

so I had no choice but to help.

This might come

as a bit of a surprise to you.

Masachika may not look like it,

but he's serious when he needs to be.

What do you mean by that?

Who knows?

I know that already.

RED BEAN SOUP

You guys get along so well.

Surprised?

Yes, I'm surprised.

I didn't expect you

to have a female friend.

Is that why you're surprised?

What?

Well, because…

You're my female friend too.

Are we friends?

What? Aren't we?

You're right. We are friends.

Hey, where are you going?

I just remembered I have to go

to the student council room.

What's that all about?

Hey!

Masachka.

I told you, it's "Masachika."

Come up here, Masachka.

Look, it's the sunset.

Right.

It's "beauty"?

It's "beautiful."

It's beautiful.

See you tomorrow, Masachka.

See you tomorrow.

I studied Russian

because I wanted to talk to her so badly.

But now, I don't even remember her name.

Good morning.

STUDENTS ON DUTY: KUJOU, KUZE

I did a good job.

Hey, good morning.

Good morning, Kuze.

I woke up early today.

I have nothing to do anyway,

so I got some work done.

Kuze, you're up early.

Is it going to snow today?

Alya.

You sure do know how to speak Japanese…

I'll clean the blackboard in the morning.

Thank you.

What happened to your socks?

Did you step in a puddle?

No, I'm not like you.

Who are you calling absent-minded?

I didn't go that far.

They got wet from the splash

caused by a passing truck.

It's not your day it seems…

Well, it's my fault for walking

too close to the road.

I have spare socks, so it's okay.

Kuze.

When you and Suou were in middle school,

you both were

student council members, right?

Yes, we were.

Hey, Kuze.

Are you really not going to join

the student council?

Not you too.

Answer me.

Yes, I'm not going

to join the student council.

What if I…

Never mind. It's nothing.

Hey.

Can you get me spare socks from my locker?

I've already taken off my socks.

I can't walk there to get them.

Hurry up.

All right.

I'm opening it.

Here you go.

Help me put it on.

What's wrong?

You're asking me what's wrong?

I should be the one asking you that.

This is to thank you for getting my socks.

It's a reward for you, right?

No, only a few individuals

with particular tastes

consider that a reward.

So it's not?

No, it's a reward.

It's a reward for me too.

I've been wondering…

Why does she use Russian

to hide her feelings?

Is it because she's a perfectionist

and playing her ideal self

is stressing her out?

Maybe this is her way

of venting her stress?

In other words, mental exposure.

Is she an exhibitionist?

What?

Nothing.

I was just thinking about what you said.

Nothing.

I said you're a wimp.

Forget it. I'll put them on myself.

No, there's no need.

Wait, what are you doing?

Didn't you ask me to put them on for you?

Yes, I did, but…

You called me a wimp.

I have my pride too.

Wait.

I'm not ready yet.

Don't move.

Easy for you to say…

Watch your hands!

Ouch!

It hurts…

I'M IN TROUBLE

WHAT'S WRONG, MY DEAR BROTHER?

DON'T BE SURPRISED. WELL…

GULP

I THINK I HAVE A FOOT FETISH

WHAT?

AREN'T YOU A TRUE BOOB ENTHUSIAST?

I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD SUCH A FETISH

LEGS ARE GREAT, WITH THEIR

CHUBBY THIGHS AND DAINTY ANKLES

THAT'S MY SISTER

WHAT A STUPID CONVERSATION

What should I do now?

Hey, Alya.

Alya.

What is it, Kuze?

Well…

How should I put it?

You're such a pervert.

Can you forgive me now?

Actually, I'm not angry anymore.

I'm sorry for kicking you.

Are you okay?

Yes, I think so.

Really?

Did you hurt your neck?

No, it doesn't hurt at all.

Actually, I should thank you

for showing me something good.

Something good?

You saw it?

Did you see it?

Well, my p-pan…

Well…

Thank you so much.

You showed me something so wonderful.

I can't believe it.

You fool! Go die!

Take pity on my neck!

I'm sorry. I went too far.

Shut up.

I'm sorry.

Stop following me.

Let's sit down and talk.

I have nothing to say to you.

You're really athletic.

10 MINUTES LATER

Are you okay?

What do you mean I'm okay?

It's because you kept chasing me.

That's true, but…

How should I put it?

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

I already know that.

It's my fault too.

Princess, please accept this.

RED BEAN SOUP

What do you want?

I hope this can at least

be a token of my apology.

Don't put on such a strange show.

Don't you like red bean soup?

You're always drinking it.

Well, I'll take it.

I'm thirsty too.

Right.

Do you want some too?

An indirect kiss? All of a sudden?

If I say,

"I'll take you up on your offer,"

will I be able to kiss her indirectly?

What did you say?

I said after exercising,

you should drink something sweet.

Usually, we drink something cold.

He doesn't know anything.

I know everything!
