Original subtitles

I really hate exams.

Is that so?

If you study regularly, exams are just a review.

And you get to go home earlier than usual. It's pretty relaxing.

That's something only geniuses like you or Mahiru would say.

Normal people hate exams, okay?

Right, Yu?

I get both sentiments.

It's a bit lonely when clubs are suspended for exams.

But it lets my body rest a bit, so I feel more relaxed.

I forgot that you're a top student in a way too!

Itsuki, they're bullying me!

Chi, you'll have to study properly.

Traitor! You study secretly during summer break!

Well, if my grades are too bad,

I'll lose my freedom.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I was talking with the teacher.

No worries.

Just Chitose complaining she's doomed for tomorrow's exam.

I knew it.

STRATEGY NOTES I knew this would happen.

STRATEGY NOTES So I summarized possible exam points.

You are an angel!

STRATEGY NOTES

Amane helped too.

Don't just thank me. Thank him too.

Lord Amane, I sincerely thank you!

Want a photo of Mahiru with cream on her cheek, wolfing down a crepe?

Or one of Mahiru trembling, almost crying from a horror movie?

Chitose!

THINKING

THINKING I want both.

Even you're joining in?

Just kidding.

Really?

But if she offers, I'll definitely take them.

Chitose is an idiot.

Well, it's good you're close, Mahiru.

It means Amane's so smitten that he wants to collect photos of his girlfriend.

That's a different matter.

So you took them after all?

What do you think?

I'll load your noodle sauce with wasabi.

Sorry, I didn't accept them.

That's good.

Are you that opposed?

Not opposed, just...

My expression was awkward and embarrassing.

It definitely wasn't cute.

I don't think that's true.

No matter how you look, you're always charming.

You're saying things like that again.

What if someone leaked embarrassing photos of you to me?

What would you do?

It depends on the photo.

Anything except inappropriate ones in public, I probably wouldn't mind.

What about the cat ears one?

The one from karaoke when I was forced to wear them?

It's fine.

I should apologize for taking your photo without asking.

That's Itsuki's fault.

THE ANGEL NEXT DOOR SPOILS ME ROTTEN2

#7 THE ANGEL'S PLEAS

By the way, what kind of reward do you want this time?

Reward?

Anything I can do, whatever you want.

Last time, my reward was letting you rest your head on my lap.

In that case, shouldn't I give you a reward too?

Your happiness is my reward.

Even though I feel the same way...

You saying it is just sneaky.

Let me give you a reward this time.

Th-Then, there's something I want.

Something you want?

Well... You have a cushion in your room, right?

I want that.

But that's the one I use every night to sleep. It's pretty worn out.

Are you sure?

Actually, I want it because it's worn out by you.

Well...

Your scent makes me feel secure.

You're not into smells, are you?

I... I don't have that kind of fetish.

I like your scent because I like you.

Having that cushion nearby would make me happy.

You don't need to use that cushion as a substitute for me.

That's because...

if it's you in person, it'd be too stimulating, wouldn't it?

That much?

Exactly that much.

Because you smell nice and are warm.

Your body is firm too. It makes my heart race uncontrollably.

It might not be suitable for just relaxing.

Freedom!

Mahiru...

Let's go to a cafe for afternoon tea to celebrate finishing exams.

I can go, but...

It's fine. I'll go hang out with Itsuki.

If you'll be back late, contact me then.

I'll pick you up.

Then I'll gladly accept.

That's great!

Mahiru...

I recently found a cafe I'd like to visit.

We might need to queue for a bit.

- But the cakes look amazing. - When did we agree to hang out?

We just agreed now.

And I was going to make you treat me to hamburgers today.

Why?

The cat ears from karaoke.

You caught me.

I don't mind you sending Mahiru the photo, but at least tell me first.

I'll tell you next time.

What kind of photo should I send her next?

Not sorry, are you?

By the way, how are things on your end?

Same as usual here.

I've kept my grades just high enough to avoid criticism from that person.

And I'm holding firm on my stance.

I wanted to ask how you two are progressing.

Nothing special.

What have you been doing all summer?

We're moving at our own pace.

But if you're not planning to take initiative, it should be fine.

After all, Shiina will work hard following Chi's advice.

She definitely put weird ideas into Mahiru's head.

What nonsense did she teach you?

No... Nothing at all.

If there's truly nothing, say it while looking at me.

Mahiru.

Using that trick is unfair.

What's unfair?

You know my ears are sensitive, yet you did that anyway. That's mean.

Alright, if you don't talk soon, I'll physically make you speak.

Physically?

Just kidding. I won't force you.

If you don't want to say it, that's okay.

But don't take everything that Chitose says literally.

She taught me things that help with dating, at least.

Like what?

I-I can't tell you that.

You don't need that kind of unnecessary knowledge.

Whether it's unnecessary should be my decision.

Wanting the person I like to like me more

or trying to deepen our bond in different ways,

are these thoughts really unnecessary?

Did Chitose teach you that too?

Because my approach isn't proactive enough.

Miss, was that whole thing just now an act?

No, I genuinely felt hurt.

Sorry, I shouldn't have called it unnecessary.

It's your choice to seek advice from Chitose.

But... it feels disappointing to me.

Disappointing?

I thought it was fine to take things slow at our own pace.

If we focus only on the future

and can't fully enjoy the present moment,

something feels off.

Sorry for saying something so pathetic.

Truth is, I'm just being cowardly.

Now I completely understand how much you love and cherish me.

As for... how to put it...

I'm not trying to rush things either.

I'm just worried you might dislike our current situation.

Well...

I-I've been making you hold back.

I don't dislike it.

And as your boyfriend, I obviously have various thoughts.

But I don't want to force our relationship forward.

And you must be scared, right?

I am.

Then let's not force anything.

We'll keep going at our own pace.

So could you please back off now?

Am I heavy?

You're not heavy, but consider my feelings.

Can I stay like this a little longer?

Do whatever you want.

So,

CULTURAL FESTIVAL PLANNING MEETING let's decide our class event.

CULTURAL FESTIVAL PLANNING MEETING

MAID CAFE, HAUNTED HOUSE, PLAY We'll go with the maid cafe. Okay?

MAID CAFE, HAUNTED HOUSE, PLAY

Will Shiina wear a maid outfit?

Wait, Fujimiya's there too.

No, Fujimiya's also a guy.

Blud wants to see his girlfriend in a maid uniform.

Fujimiya, you seem upset.

Is it that obvious?

No, looks normal to me.

I could just sense your displeasure from your aura.

Of course.

Seeing my girlfriend receive so much attention complicates my feelings.

I see. Understandable.

But thanks to Kido's suggestion,

our class event became a maid and butler cafe.

This might divert attention from Mahiru.

It'll be tough, but I'm counting on you, Kadowaki.

Why do you say that like it's not your problem?

You'll probably be assigned as a butler too, Fujimiya.

Can you cook?

I wouldn't say I can't, but I'm not exactly good at it.

Plus, you'd feel uneasy not keeping a close eye on Shiina, wouldn't you?

If she got dragged into trouble, you'd be in a real bind then.

That's true.

But who exactly benefits from me wearing a butler outfit?

Shiina, of course.

She'd definitely be happy.

Probably.

Besides, ever since you changed your image,

more people have been paying attention to you.

I wasn't aware of that.

Well, you only have eyes for Shiina.

NIGHTTIME BUTTON

NIGHTTIME BUTTON From my perspective,

seeing you with Shiina getting recognized by everyone around you

has been a huge relief.

Because I didn't want you to end up like Shirakawa did before.

You mean that rival thing?

There was some trouble back then, and she ended up having to quit the track club.

I really hate that kind of bullying behavior.

So at the cultural festival,

you two should flaunt your affection like you usually do.

Show it off so much that no one dares try to steal Shiina away.

We don't mean to show off.

You're kidding, right?

I'm home.

Welcome back.

STARING

Amane, come on.

You seem a bit down.

Knowing your personality,

you wouldn't outright refuse,

but I bet you're reluctant deep down, aren't you?

Am I wrong?

You are right.

That's why I want to cheer you up.

About the maid cafe thing,

are you reluctant because you're thinking of me?

That's part of it, but...

it's just that I don't want others to see you like that.

Are you jealous?

Whether it's jealousy or possessiveness,

I genuinely dislike the idea.

I'm not exactly thrilled about wearing a server outfit in public either,

but it's already decided.

But I've already talked to the others.

Talked about what?

That I want you to be the first to see me in it.

Even though there might be lots of customers then,

you'll always be the only master in this house.

Then I'll endure it.

Okay.

SHIHOKO

The cultural festival is coming up soon, isn't it?

Mom...

Will Shihoko and the others come?

Last year I didn't tell them and got scolded for ages afterwards.

I'll warn them not to openly flaunt their affection.

I don't really have anyone to invite, though.

What about that housekeeper lady?

You remember Aunt Koyuki?

I think I only mentioned her briefly before.

Of course I remember things related to you.

Won't you invite her?

That's impossible.

I'm sorry.

No, it's not like that.

Aunt Koyuki quit her housekeeping job

after I started middle school.

She had some back problems.

Oh? That's really too bad.

Yeah.

Since Aunt Koyuki was like a parent to you,

wouldn't it be better for me to formally greet her sometime?

Greet her?

But that should come later.

Let's think about it after things are settled.

Mahiru?

No... It's nothing. Really.

Your face doesn't look like it's nothing.

I'm really fine.

MIDTERM RESULTS

Congratulations on placing first.

Thank you.

You've worked hard consistently to keep getting such good grades.

Attagirl.

And you too, Amane, placing fifth this time.

I'm truly grateful.

I also have to thank you, Mahiru, for teaching me so well.

I'm honored to receive your praise.

You grasp things quickly, so it's fun teaching you.

You flatter me.

I want to improve enough to stand beside you with confidence.

By the way,

are you sure you just want the cushion as your reward?

Yes.

I definitely want that cushion...

But is there something else you want?

Um... Is it something I want?

Well...

I... I wish...

Give me a kiss.

A kiss?

Well then,

as you wish.

Um...

I-I mean...

I wish you wouldn't stop midway.

Didn't you just tell me to stop?

No, that's not what I meant.

I want... well...

A more... passionate kiss.

I, uh... I know this seems less proper,

but I want to respond to you too.

And I want to understand you more deeply.

Don't look at me so longingly. I'll die.

- I'm not... - Yes, you are.

Did that fulfill your wish?

Yes.

That was close.

Don't nuzzle there. It tickles.

You smell really nice.

Probably because I put on lotion.

Why are you trying to get even softer?

I don't want my skin to feel dry when you touch me and disappoint you.

Because I want you to touch me more.

That's my wish too.

You want me to touch you?

Being touched by you feels good and makes me happy.

To make you want to touch me more

and to make you crave me more, I'll naturally try my best.

I can't take it.

Sorry for suddenly forcing myself on you like that.

Why are you assuming I'd hate it?

But...

Being kissed so suddenly did surprise me,

but seeing you actively show your affection like that

made me really happy.

Just... please give me a little more time to prepare mentally next time.

Mahiru, I'm sorry.

If you apologize again, I'll get angry.

Thank you.

Very good.

Amane, you're really easy to read.

I could tell you were thinking, "I need to be careful not to overdo it next time."

Well, yeah.

I might end up taking things too far with you.

If I really don't want that,

I will use physical methods to make sure you'll never stand again.

Amane, so...

I want us to get another kiss properly.

If this keeps up, I feel like I'll reach my limit in every way.

So not today.

I've already received way too many rewards this time.
