01x04 - You're a sn*per of Love

[bunniefuu]

Hey, you!

If I become the center, come over to me!

Huh?

Are you asking me to be your housekeeper?

What?!

I can't actually take on any more shifts,

so you'll have to hire someone else

Shut up!

Then stop coming here so much

and open up your schedule!

Why in the world would I do that?

If you know that Tamon's gonna win,

you shouldn't have any problem with that.

Or do you actually

think he's going to lose?

I accept.

Huh?

Oh, good morning,

Fukuhara-sama.

U-U-U-Um

Hmph.

You're about to find out how big

a mistake it was to talk to me like that.

You better be prepared.

Crap.

Hey!! It's just like sweeet magic!! Aha!

Hi, it's me!

The one with that k*ller smile!

Stealing your gaze with a shocking style!

Smooth as ever, I escort you

And this voice, seducing you

Ah, come on, let's dance;

I'm aiming straight for your heart

I am your ace darlin'

Confidence? Yeah, I've got plenty

Please Please

Whisper just to me, call my name

You're too popular,

it drives me crazy and I'm not okay

But I'm sorry, losing's not my thing

Hey, girl

Look this way!

I see your smile, smile, smile,

I wanna make it all mine

Crash, crash, crash,

our special connection shines

Dance, dance,

our world is non-stop groovin'

I'll show you my perfect

A-side, side, side

And my private B-side, side, side;

I'll show you everything

So take my hand and let's roll

Sweet Sweet Sweet magic!!

Sweetie honey Sweetie honey

Sweetie honey Sweetie honey

It's a spell that makes your heart race

We can't go back

You're falling in love with me, c'mon!

Sweetie honey

Sweet Sweet Sweet magic!!

I'm sorry I accepted that bet!

You're a sn*per of Love

But after he said all that,

I couldn't bring myself to say,

"Tamon-kun can't win," even as a lie.

Please pay no mind to what just happened

and do your best

at your own pace, Gloomyhara-san.

No.

Huh?

You can't leave me

Well, yes, I probably shouldn't.

Fujita-san asked me

to take care of the housework,

so it's not like I can go elsewhere.

That was thoughtless of me. I'm sorry.

No, this is all because

I made it so musty in here.

I'll buy a dehumidifier.

If there's anything that I can do

to help you win, please let me know.

You can count on me to

get all the housework done, though!

Here's some barley tea.

Thank you very much.

I've looked up to idols

ever since I was little.

That's all that was on my mind.

Oh, I wuv you.

I do love all my fans

but I've never experienced really

falling in love with just one person.

What exactly is love?

Huh?

I mean, I do love you

and only you, Tamon-kun,

but it's a different kind of love

from how most would define it.

Oh, then

Would you go to a festival with me?

I can't see where this is going.

Festival

Sexy! Wild! Sexy! Wild! Sexy! Wild!

Sexy! Wild! Sexy! Wild! Sexy! Wild!

Me? Go to a festival with Tamon-kun?!

I mean, there's a never-ending

Tamon Fes going on in my brain, but

If I'm going to sing about heartbreak,

I should learn about love first, right?

So that's exactly why I have to go.

Love

Bursts fly up, then fall.

And once they fall, they fly up again.

Romance

They say that people gather there

in search for true love.

I'm so glad I came here with you.

Me, too.

Is what awaits them

a new encounter or goodbyes?

Wait! You've got it all wrong!

You liar! You love her, don't you?!

The sanctuary for lovers passed down

since time immemorial.

Its name the summer festival!

Summer Festival

Tamon-kun?

I want to go there and find out

what love actually is.

I want to win the second round

in our competition to decide the center!

But

if I went into that kind of

dazzling party night all by myself,

the sheer amount of positive energy

might reduce me to cinders

So I just can't build up the courage.

Now, wait. Where in the world did you get

this kind of information about festivals?

That's what Love Specialist-san told me.

Question Resolved

Gloomy-san

I'm a guy in his 3rd year of high school.

I don't understand what love is. Please tell me.

The Love Specialist-san

I, too, had a period in my life like that.

First, you need to do everything you can

to get yourself to a summer festival.

Bursts fly up, then fall. And once they fall,

they fly up again. They say that people

gather there in search for true love.

Love Specialist

Kinoshita-san, will you go with me?

The only way a lone fan would be allowed

to go with Tamon-kun to a summer festival

is in their own delusions!

I know I said that I would do

anything to help, but I'm very sorry.

I decl

Utage.

Huh?

I need this summer festival.

You're the only one

I can ask to do this with me, right?

Our guest today is an actor

who represents Japan

who has spread his work overseas

in the past few years

and is making his mark in the industry

The actor, Toshikazu Sakaguchi.

Toshikazu Sakaguchi

He's known to love his wife,

the singer, SHIORI, very much.

Toshikazu Sakaguchi

And this very happy couple

continues to work on the front lines

of their respective fields

in the entertainment industry.

And of course, the one who

everyone is talking about right now

is their son who debuted

as a singer, Ouri Sakaguchi.

Toshikazu Sakaguchi

Ouri Sakaguchi

A whole family of

huge celebrities!

The fans, the people

in the entertainment industry,

Sakaguchi-san says

that no matter how busy he is,

he always makes time for his family.

and even those with no interest in me

They'd at least change their tone

a little if they approached me.

In this episode, we'll be looking into

his never-before-seen

time management skills.

And yet, that woman

Hmm?

He's going out this late?

Who does he think he is?

Seiya! Seiya! Seiya!

Hey, buy me that mask.

Oh, fine.

If Tamon-kun thinks it's necessary,

I will do everything I can

to help out in his search for love

As his housekeeper.

Oh, man! I guess we're

having a triple date today.

Talk about enjoying our youth!

This is just another form of housework.

Kinoshita-san

A yukata—

Black hair!

Is that a wig? It really suits you!

Yes. The paper bag makes it hard to see,

and it's even worse at night.

Thank goodness it's Gloomyhara-san.

Hottiehara-kun would've had fireworks

sh**ting out of my head right now.

What's that woman doing here?

Okay, let's go.

Wait, are those two going out?!

Right.

Wow

There's still time before the fireworks.

Yakisoba

Why don't we visit some stalls

in the meantime Huh?

Love Where's love?

It's hot Where's love?

I won't let anyone report Tamon-kun!

It's really hot.

Yakisoba | Okonomiyaki | Ice Ice Ice | Goldfish

Is this heat being emitted

from all the couples around here?

Cotton Candy

Er It's just the air temperature.

Cotton Candy

Oh Um

I didn't get to finish my sentence

earlier But your yukata—

Ah!

Look over there!

Hey, this looks impossible.

A guy is trying to show off to a girl!

No losers here

Nah, it's all good.

Is that love?!

No losers here

Th-That's amazing! Congratulations!

This is nothing compared

to trying to win concert tickets.

Of course, I made sure not to

sh**t your face, Tamon-kun.

No losers here

What should I do?

If I don't learn

a single thing about love,

then I just came here

to get bit by mosquitos!

I knew an introvert like me

shouldn't have come to a place like this.

It's itchy, it's scary, it's hot!

You've always masterfully shot

through the hearts of the fans.

You're a cupid of love no.

You're a sn*per of love!

Bang!

So please don't give up.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out

what love actually means, Tamon-kun!

I'll do my best.

Seriously, what's their

actual relationship?

Oh, look!

There's a couple over there

sharing some takoyaki!

Open up, Ta-kun!

Aah!

I-Is that love?!

Yum.

So this is love.

No, that's takoyaki.

I'm going to give it all I've got.

Huh?

Say, "Aah."

Come on. Open up.

Look how close they are!

Wait, are they really?!

Kinoshita-san!

Seriously, which is it?!

Come on. Don't get lost.

Make sure you hang onto me.

Is

Is this

Your tongue's all red.

A world where Tamon-kun's

living as a normal person?!

Do your feet hurt?

No! There is no "normal person"

like this in existence!

My head's a full-on carnival right now,

so I'm not going to be

able to help find any love!

Kinoshita-san!

Are you okay, Kinoshita-san?!

I'm so sorry that I'm an otaku.

It's okay.

The fact that happened must mean I'm just

not understanding this love thing right.

Gloooom

I'll go buy us something to drink.

Thank you.

Love, huh

I talked a big game,

but in the end, I'm just an otaku.

I just can't see Tamon-kun

as a normal guy.

I still have no idea

if they're actually dating or not,

and it's pissing me off.

Good evening!

Here by yourself?

I'm sorry?

Ramune

I hope that Kinoshita-san likes ramune.

Cotton Candy

But your yukata—

Ah!

Look over there!

Oh, no. He's not my boyfriend.

He's just an acquaintance.

I see. S-So you don't have a boyfriend.

Right.

Actually, I don't even

really understand love.

So you're hitting on the wrong person.

There's plenty of other cuties

out there, aren't there?

What the hell?

Your yukata looks pretty good on you.

Huh? Um thank you

She almost seems sweet here,

and it's throwing me off.

Excuse me.

Could you please not talk to her?

She's my girlfriend.

Huh?

Huh? What? U-Um, wha—

Gloomyhara-san?!

Seriously?

Gloomyhara-san!

I-I know you said that

to stop that guy from hitting on me,

but your face

If that guy realizes

that you're Tamon-kun

I also

Huh?

I also thought that, too.

You look really lovely in that yukata.

Huh?

I'm sorry I said it so late!

It must be horrific to hear that

from someone like me!

I'm sorry for exposing you to

paranormal phenomena!

Huh? Um? That made me happy!

Really happy to hear that!

But you're clearly weirded out!

It just surprised me because

I'm not used to getting compliments!

At that moment just for a moment

I saw Tamon-kun

as a guy.

We came to this summer festival so he

could try to find out what love really is.

But

I'm so sorry.

To copy other people in order

to find out what love is

Thinking about it rationally,

it was just a fool's errand.

If I'm just going to spend the rest

of my life mocked by others

I'd like to just end things right now.

Just living is my dark history!

Love

Now he's just lost all hope.

Love?

That's exactly what you're feeling

when you're thinking about me.

Seriously, how does Gloomyhara-san

pull off that persona?

No. Right now, I need to do

whatever I can for Gloomyhara-san.

Does love actually exist?

Yes! You said so yourself, Tamon-kun!

But I've realized that just trying

to copy others doesn't work.

I mean, I don't even usually go places

with someone else like this.

I'm kinda jealous

Let's both stop doing things

we're not used to.

Huh?

Not to mention, this is a very rare

day off for you, Gloomyhara-san.

So why don't we just try

to enjoy our time normally?

Not as a client and his housekeeper,

but just as friends.

Friends

I definitely somehow

hit him in the feels right there.

I'm sorry—

The only ones I've been able to open up

to are basically the stains on my walls,

so just hearing the word "friends"

was just too much

Tamon-kun What happened to you?

Yes, you're right.

I think I tried to skip too many steps.

I'm sorry that I tried to fly

when I'm only a caterpillar.

Rather than a caterpillar

I'd say you're more like

a fallen angel that's lost his wings.

Please take that back.

I-I'm sorry that I tried to fly

when I'm just a fallen angel.

Um

Yes?

May I call you "Master Kinoshita"?

Say what now?

Being friends means that

we're closer than two strangers, right?

So I thought it'd be important

to pay you the proper respect.

I definitely never thought of that.

I honestly don't know how to handle that.

Being called "Master" by a literal god

is just too confusing.

Well, what do people usually call you?

My friends call me "Utage,"

but you're older than me,

so you can just call me "Kinoshita."

There's no way I can just call you

by your name like that!

Actually, you should just

call me "Garbagehara!"

What are you talking about?!

I'll be calling you Gloomyhara-senpai!

Huh?!

Gloomyhara-senpai!

Kino

Anyway, you can call me

whatever you'd like.

B-But

You don't use any honorifics

when you're Hottiehara-kun.

That's true

U-Uta

Ah!

Hurry, Gloomyhara-senpai!

R-Right

Let's dance.

Tamon-kun's always working so hard.

He deserves a moment to enjoy

being a high school student.

Yo-Yo Fishing

So just for now, we'll be friends.

Fried Potatoes

Just for today.

Huh?

Please don't hate me!

Please don't hate me!

You've got this! Just stay calm!

I wonder if this is what

Gloomyhara-san would be like

as a normal high school student.

Ice Pops

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Here you go.

Th-Thank you very

Squee.

Sorry, my hands were full,

and I didn't want your yukata to get d

Brain Freeze

O-Ow!

No, I'm sorry!

It's almost time for the fireworks.

I know a secret spot,

so let's go over there.

You can probably take your mask off here.

Right.

It was so hot

His usual hair color.

I definitely feel more at ease now.

You dyed your hair during

your audition, right?

It caused quite a stir among fans

because of the sudden change.

Yes I decided to go all-out and dye it

a color that I thought was

the complete opposite of me.

Ever since then, when I stand

before people as an idol, I'm Hottiehara.

Now, everyone loves that pink hair.

When you first appeared with that hair,

all the fans fell in love and

everyone called pink the color of love.

#TheSexyKindOfPink

#ArrestedForSexyCrimes

#IDon'tCareIfIt'sADreamJustTakeMeAlready

Pink

Color of Love

Oh, really?

We came here searching for it

since I didn't know what it is,

so that's a bit ironic to hear.

In reality, your hair color didn't matter.

It was your hard work

that moved everyone's hearts.

But

Honestly, my hair is basically the idol.

I think you mean god.

Well

Unlike Ouri-kun, I'm not special at all.

Not to mention, I'm a failure,

so all I can do is work hard.

Just knowing there are people out there

who'll cheer for someone like me

fills me with so much joy

Tamon-kun

That's why I want to make everyone happy.

And I want everyone to smile.

I don't want people

to see me being pathetic.

I want people to like me.

It's like you're in love.

Huh?

Oh, um that's just

what it looked like to me.

It's just like

the hallucinations I usually see.

Even if you don't have feelings

for one specific person,

I figured this might actually

be like love to you, Tamon-kun.

And if that's the case,

maybe you already know the answer .

Love

Wanting others to be happy

or wanting them to smile

It's those feelings.

It is?

Um I don't really understand it

that well myself,

but I just hope that's what

love ends up feeling like for you.

And so

The fact that you work so hard,

Gloomyhara-senpai

is also love!

Oh, they've started!

Wow

Wanting others to be happy

or wanting them to smile

It's those feelings.

Kino

No.

Thank you, Uta-chan.

Cha—

Not Kinoshita-san

or even Utage, but "chan"?!

He chose something in between?!

Oh

Is what I'm feeling right now love, too?

No, absolutely not.

It's the camaraderie from

pretending to be friends,

but not really.

It's just a fleeting illusion.

O-Oh, I see. I'm sorry.

That was close.

Tamon-kun's so earnest that he almost

had a world-ending misunderstanding.

But now I feel like I'll be

able to win the second round.

That's great. I'll be cheering you on

as your fan and your housekeeper.

I'll do my best.

By the way, what will you be

doing for the second round?

Um

Who is the F/ACE of F/ACE?

And now, we begin the second round

of our competition to decide the center!

A complete 180 from our

first round of visual battles,

they'll be doing something

much more physical this time.

Today, they'll literally

be running on water!

And in first place,

we have Tamon Fukuhara!

Congratulations! No one could compete

with your speed and drive!

Thank you very much!

I ran with my heart filled with

my love to my girlfriends.

Tamon-kun

What happened to finding love?

Could we get a message for all

the E/YES supporting you out there?

Did you guys see that?

You'd better be ready to accept my love.

It sure must be rough being an idol.

Yet we're part of the problem for

sitting here enjoying their suffering.

Yup, yup.

Uh huh

Na na na

Uh huh

I wonder what the world

would look like without you

When I look back,

you've always been by my side

Teaching me what "warmth"

and "happiness" feel like

A speedboat sails across the endless skies

An unwavering course,

a straight shot down the middle

An unbreakable red balloon

found nowhere else

Is this "fate"? Or just a "coincidence"?

Like a wilted flower coming back to life

A light that shines

Through the impossibly dark night

(Light of your soul)

I wanted to grasp it

(I love you so)

So I strived for it

Wanna keep going, wanna keep growing

Bringing our flowers and dreams

into full bloom
