SEIJO FESTIVAL

SEIJO FESTIVAL We haven't visited our old school in years.

SEIJO FESTIVAL It's still the same.

There's been some renovation, but overall it hasn't changed.

The last time we were here was for Amane's entrance ceremony.

Anyway,

do we really have to stay with you?

Hey!

We haven't seen each other for months, and that's what you say?

You're a mean child.

No kids tag along with their parents anymore.

Are you having a belated rebellious phase?

Anyway, didn't you want to check out the stalls?

Oh, so you'll accompany us?

I'm here to be the voice of reason.

Are you sure about that?

You two might love it more than us.

Isn't that right, Shuuto?

Yeah.

THE ANGEL NEXT DOOR SPOILS ME ROTTEN2

HANDICRAFTS CLUB, HANDMADE GOODS FOR SALE

Shuuto, this looks pretty nice.

- Your parents seem so affectionate. - Yes, it's very pretty.

- Your parents seem so affectionate. - There are a lot of varieties.

I thought you'd be a manager for some sports club.

- Then I could legitimately - Mahiru, pick one you like too.

- admire the guys' muscles. - Mahiru, pick one you like too.

- But So would get sulky. - Well...

Kayano?

SORRY He doesn't mind if I watch

SORRY on TV or look at photos.

SORRY But he said, "Don't grin at the students."

SORRY It sounds less like jealousy,

SORRY and more like he's worried about your image.

Rude.

I do choose who I grin at, okay?

I'd never grin at mediocre muscles.

Anyway, I joined the Handicrafts Club so I could make clothes for So,

and take his measurements myself.

You're hopeless.

D-Don't get creeped out.

Shiina would be the same.

As long as you take your clothes off to let her measure you,

I'm sure she'd gladly make clothes for you too.

Please don't give my Mahiru any strange fetishes.

What are you talking about?

We were saying you'd be happy if Fujimiya took his clothes off.

How could she be?

Right, Mahiru?

I... I guess... not.

See? Shiina wants to see it too.

It's very indecent...

I've only thought about it a little bit.

You understand exactly what's cute about Mahiru.

Of course I do.

Mahiru is cute from head to toe.

And the more you get to know her, the cuter she gets.

Don't go near them. It's dangerous.

Thank you for looking after our Amane.

Not at all.

What's wrong, Amane?

You're not denying it?

It's true that you looked after me.

Whether it's you being nosy or not is another matter.

You're surprisingly honest about that.

Are you trying to pick a fight by implying I'm usually not?

The fact that you interpreted it that way proves so.

So you actually have self-awareness?

Just shut up.

Ouch.

We should probably go get some food.

If we don't get in line early,

we'll have to work hungry this afternoon.

I absolutely refuse that.

Service work is physically demanding.

Sorry, but we should get going.

I see.

We plan to visit the cafe in the afternoon. See you then.

Yeah, you're very welcome.

How did it come to this?

Sorry for all the trouble.

This is Itsuki's dad.

I see. Your son's been looking after my child.

Please, it's the other way around.

Mr. Daiki, that was...

That was to be expected.

I was too strict with her.

It's only natural Itsuki wants to keep her away from me.

But Shiina gets along so well with your parents.

It surprised me to see that.

You're too kind.

Well, she's our future daughter-in-law.

And she's a good girl by nature.

You can't help but want to love her.

True. You can have no complaints with her.

Of course not.

She's the one my son chose.

We trust his judgment.

After we met Mahiru,

we felt we could entrust Amane to her with peace of mind.

It's truly enviable.

I couldn't say the same about my son.

Don't you trust your son?

My son isn't as outstanding as yours.

He's just an immature kid.

Oh, I don't think so.

From what I've heard from Amane,

he's a thoughtful and gentle boy.

Well...

As parents, it's understandable to have reservations about who our children choose.

Boys often form their own opinions quite early on.

Being too strict can easily backfire.

He's grown into such a fine young man,

so I believe trusting his judgment and supporting him

is also part of our responsibility as adults.

But we've only just met.

It might not be my place to lecture you.

However, since the child isn't going astray,

but simply wants to choose their own path, even if we try to stop them,

they won't accept it.

Mr. Daiki.

Can I have a few words too?

Well,

you might not think highly of Chitose,

but she is definitely not a bad person.

She's been troubled and putting in a lot of effort

to gain your approval.

I'm not saying you have to accept her,

but...

At least take a good look at her.

I know you think highly of my son,

and that you trust that girl.

I'm also aware of how much effort they have put in.

Even so,

I still don't believe she has a positive influence on my son.

Don't worry.

I don't intend to exclude her.

I'm grateful my son has made a good friend like you.

Don't concern yourself with me.

I hope you'll continue to be friends with him.

Okay.

Amane.

You're usually so cold to Akazawa and Chitose,

but you really stick up for them at times like this.

They are my friends after all.

You're really not honest at all.

I'm honest with you.

Should I call you honest or just blunt?

You occasionally do things so unexpected that they make my heart race.

Good, I'm glad I make your heart race.

Stop.

When Itsuki and Chitose are around, I won't openly defend them.

Otherwise, they'd feel awkward.

Besides, I understand what Mr. Daiki was trying to say.

His family is actually quite prominent.

He has an adult brother, I think.

Itsuki believes he should be allowed freedom

since he doesn't need to inherit the family business.

He doesn't want parents to interfere in his choice of partner.

Although, Mr. Daiki surely has his own reasons.

Actually, I'm a bit envious of Akazawa.

Envious?

It might be inappropriate for me to say this,

but his dad intervened out of concern for him.

I can't deny that he's imposing his own ideals on his child,

but even so,

it still stems from parental love.

Don't worry about me.

It's not like I'm still hung up on the parents thing.

But as someone who has a distant relationship with family,

I still envy how closely connected he is to his family.

But still, at this point, even if they reached out to me,

I wouldn't reach back.

Mahiru, you have my parents.

You can fully experience familial ties with them.

My parents even say you're too good for me.

That's not true at all.

Amane, you are very attractive.

Thanks for the compliment.

Everyone loves you.

So you don't need to feel anxious.

Okay.

MENU: COFFEE, COCOA, BLACK TEA, CAKE

My, Mahiru, that outfit is so cute on you.

Ma'am, please refrain from touching our maids.

Oh? Is she your personal maid?

I meant the maids working at this cafe!

SORRY

My, my. This employee is quite sharp-tongued.

By the way, it is because you want her all to yourself?

No, it's a rule.

Not even if I'm her mom?

No.

And you're not her mom yet.

- Not yet. - What does it matter?!

I will be some day.

Like I said...

Never mind. Please order first.

You're right. There are other customers.

Please take our order then, waiter.

Sorry.

Excuse me. I'll introduce our menu right away.

This is our menu.

All meals are served as set courses. We appreciate your understanding.

I see.

Shuuto, what would you like to eat?

Hmm, do you have any recommendations?

If you enjoy coffee, I recommend Set A.

If you prefer black tea, I'd suggest Set C.

By the way, can we take a maid home?

We do not offer that service.

But you're taking her home.

I'm afraid I don't understand what you're saying.

Are you ready to order?

Hey, Fujimiya.

Kadowaki.

I brought water and came to say hello.

By the way, Fujimiya's mom is very beautiful.

Oh, my, how sweet.

Though not as much as Shuuto, you're quite handsome too, Kadowaki.

That's my pleasure.

Thank you for being friends with my son.

He's a bit cold and mean, right?

Not at all.

Lately, he's been looking very gentle.

I believe that's thanks to Shiina.

Oh, dear.

Please, stop.

But I'm only stating facts.

Facts or not,

don't say it in front of the person!

But if I don't praise you directly, you won't acknowledge it.

Can't I do it once in a while?

Better not.

If you're going to say it, say it to me, not my parents.

Thank you for everything.

I'm really glad we're friends.

You're welcome.

It's so nice to see you so close.

Stop it.

Kadowaki, get back to work.

Right.

Sorry for taking up your time.

See you.

You have some wonderful friends around you.

Yeah.

You might think we're being nosy, but we still worry about you.

It seems you get along well with your classmates.

And everyone looks at you and Shiina with approval.

I think that's definitely your fault.

Well, sorry about that.

All right, it's too late to say that now.

Stop.

SEIJO FESTIVAL

SEIJO FESTIVAL Thank you all very much for coming today.

SEIJO FESTIVAL All activities

SEIJO FESTIVAL for the Culture Festival have ended.

Everyone, good job!

Cheers!

You all have worked hard.

You were definitely the MVP this time.

It's more thanks to my boss than me.

Should I say he's generous for lending us the costumes?

I was surprised there were so many spare ones.

We'll have to bring a fancy box of sweets to thank him.

It's rare to see you so serious, Itsuki.

Chi. Aren't you being a bit rude?

I do get serious sometimes.

How often?

About once every six months.

Seriously?

Amane, why are you just watching from there?

Stop flirting and get over here.

Yeah, yeah.

Mahiru, come here.

Let's tease Itsuki.

You don't have to tease me.

Are you uncomfortable at karaoke?

No, not exactly uncomfortable.

She probably just doesn't know many songs,

so she doesn't want to sing.

What about you, Mako?

I just listen to regular pop music.

I don't listen to music much.

I just listen to my grandma play the piano sometimes.

That's cool.

Speaking of music reminds me of Yuta.

Why didn't you tell us you were performing?

- Probably because he knew he'd make a fuss. - I thought there was no need

- Probably because he knew he'd make a fuss. - to invite you specifically.

But Amane and the others saw it, that's unfair.

- Exactly! - What's the big deal?

I often come to karaoke with you anyway.

No, I wanted to see you perform on stage.

Alright. Do a solo concert here, and I'll forgive you.

Then I'll have Fujimiya over there share the pain.

Why me?

The whole point of coming to karaoke is to sing, right?

I don't think I've ever heard you sing.

This is a rare opportunity...

Just you wait.

I've queued up songs for you guys.

Maybe we should all sing together.

- I can sing this one. - Pulling that move?

- You're impossible. - Fine then.

Hey, Amane.

What's up?

After I took Chi away, did you say anything to my dad?

Well, nothing special.

He didn't badmouth you two.

He just greeted my parents and chatted for a bit.

I see.

I thought maybe my dad said something weird.

Nothing to worry about.

I think I know what my dad wanted to say.

And I know why he dislikes Chi.

Are you sure I can hear about that?

I want to tell you.

Okay.

Later, Itsuki opened up to me about his complicated family situation,

which he'd never said before.

Itsuki has an older brother, eight years his senior.

He was serious, upright, and sincere,

the heir Mr. Daiki was proud of.

But...

Unlike his younger brother,

he had his rebellious phase after becoming an adult.

He started refusing to follow the path his parents laid out for him,

and eloped with the girlfriend he had at the time.

Later, my brother and dad reconciled.

He's even willing to inherit the family business now, but...

When he left home,

Itsuki suddenly became the heir.

After what happened with his brother,

his parents became even stricter with him.

On top of that,

Chitose's demeanor reminds people of his brother's girlfriend.

That's one of the reasons my dad can't accept Chi.

Another reason

is probably that I got hurt protecting Chi.

I'm sure you've heard about the trouble in my middle school track club.

And what happened after a track club senpai fell for me.

After Chi and I started dating, that senpai went to confront Chi.

My injuries weren't that serious,

but Dad thinks his heir got dragged into trouble because of Chi.

That makes him dislike Chi even more.

Have you told Chitose about this?

I haven't told her.

It's not Chi's fault.

We can't blame her.

Don't look so worried.

Remember to keep that a secret from Chi.

Of course.

That's what best friends are for.

Huh? You're not denying it?

Do you want me to deny it?

When I went to the restroom at the karaoke,

I overheard some classmates saying you're really great.

Huh?

It was like that at the culture festival cafe too.

Because you were so handsome,

lots of guests were saying good things about you.

I had no idea they were.

Actually, I don't like seeing you looking so cool and smiling at the customers.

Because you're my Amane.

She really loves me.

Don't worry.

Only you will know the side of me that others don't see.

The attention you got these two days made me more anxious

and want to hold onto you even tighter.

Okay.

My eyes are only on you.

And I belong only to you.

Please keep me all to yourself.

I'll keep you all to myself too.

What...

Can I...

Can I...

...stay here tonight?
