Is there anyone who has no secrets?
I'm too scared to say it.
I'm afraid something will break
if I say it.
But I really
want her to know.
She should be
alone in the classroom right now.
Okay.
I have nothing
to lose, anyway.
So go, Kuromine Asahi!
I'll Confess!
I'm not the same man I used to be.
You're not going to read me.
Not so long as I have these fashion glasses!
This one, then.
Yay!
How?!
I always feel like I'm doing
something sacrilegious when I play Old Maid with you, Asahi.
Seriously.
You're such a leaky basket, Asahi.
"Leaky basket" doesn't even make sense!
Baskets are supposed to be leaky!
Nah,
you're a leaky basket because you're even more full of holes.
I, Kuromine Asahi...
No running in the hallway!
What do you think of this poster now?
I think it's good.
All right, I'll redo it!
So I'm gonna just go for it and...
Oh, sorry, this is just between us.
Secrets
Lies
Truth
...can, sadly, neither lie nor keep secrets.
So they call me "a leaky basket."
But, come on,
you guys could trust me a little more.
Well, I don't know about trust,
but I do believe you.
Oka...
It's not a bad thing that you can't keep secrets.
Shima...
Yeah, only because it's you, Asahi.
Sakura-san...
You're just saying this for kicks, aren't you?
You're so obvious.
Sorry, friends.
I'm actually really glad you feel that way.
But even I have a secret of my own.
Okay, to translate this...
A secret that I've kept from fall of first year
all the way to April of second year.
Shiragami.
Yes.
Actually, I,
Kuromine Asahi,
like this girl, Shiragami Youko.
She's sort of... mysterious.
She seems to arrive at school earlier than anyone else.
She's always alone during breaks.
Hey, Shiragami-san, can I see your notes?
Sure.
And for no apparent reason,
she seems to go home later than everyone.
Come to think of it, maybe it's only natural that I,
being incapable of keeping secrets,
became attracted to my polar opposite.
Okay, you can sit down now.
Okay.
What the heck, Asahi?!
I, uh, don't know the answer to the next question...
Calm down! I don't know it, either!
Crap, we totally made eye contact!
I wonder if she noticed me looking.
Okay, Kuromine, you answer the next one.
If she found out from that...
No!
Hey, Kuromine!
What do I do?
I have to keep this secret!
Hey, Kuromine!
You can't keep quiet, and now you won't answer me?!
Sensei, calm down, please!
Koumoto-sensei, I'd like you to continue the lesson.
Kuromine Asahi, you will focus on class, as well.
R-Right.
Sorry, class rep.
You'd better watch it.
I-I'm sorry.
Okay, next, let's see...
So anyway...
That was bad.
Asahi.
Let's go eat.
Sure.
Shiragami-san.
Want to have lunch with us?
Sorry, but I have something to do.
Don't worry about it.
Next time, okay?
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...
There!
Ow, ow!
I can't go any further!
Nice, nice.
Hot, huh, Asahi?
Come to think of it,
Shiragami always sits out when we have P.E. outside.
I thought she had sensitive skin,
but I saw her really tan one time.
Why does she—
What are you looking at, Eromine?!
Today was awful.
You had it coming.
I told you, it wasn't like that.
So,
when are you going to confess to Shiragami-san?
How do you—
I mean, what are you talking about?!
He thought he was hiding it.
It's obvious you've been looking at her.
I might have messed up today, yeah.
But you didn't know until now, did you?
For a long time now, I've...
Since last fall, right?
It's been a while, huh?
No way...
You guys...
You knew?
Sorry for not telling you.
I was kind of embarrassed.
I never really planned to tell her or anything,
so I figured I'd just keep it quiet.
Hey, come on.
Everyone has a secret or two.
Exactly.
It's not a bad thing, having a secret love.
Guys...
Nope, it's no good at all.
In fact, it won't work.
After all, you're a basket full of holes.
A leaky basket!
Have you forgotten, Asahi?
The humiliation you were forced to endure by the class rep— nay, the Iron Lady?
The tragedy of last summer?
Kuromine Asahi, I'll get right to the point.
If you wouldn't mind, I'd like you to stop staring at me.
I'm completely uninterested in you.
It's irrational of you to continue pursuing a battle you have no chance of winning.
I haven't even confessed to you or anything!
Someone, get a towel, quick!
Stop the match!
That was brutal.
To think his inability to keep secrets would create such a tragedy.
Think about it, Asahi.
A normal confession is nothing
compared to that bullet in the back.
No more getting shot in the back.
Confess before you get rejected!
Kill before you're killed
Confess before I get rejected!
That's right, Asahi.
Go confess.
But I can't confess.
Then are you going to give up?
No way!
I can't give up!
Then go, Asahi.
We put you up to it, so we'll comfort you when it's over.
Guys...
In other words, you all think I'm going to get rejected, don't you?
But still,
thanks.
All right, I'm going.
But Shiragami-san, huh?
She's pretty, but...
Out of his league.
She seems pretty unapproachable.
Haven't you guys noticed?
Shiragami-san's been stealing looks at Asahi sometimes.
I think he has a chance.
Seriously?
Okay.
Shiragami Youko-sama
I'll give her this love letter,
and run as fast as I can.
I have nothing
to lose, anyway.
So go, Kuromine Asahi!
Nothing beats spreading my wings in an empty classroom.
How heartwarming. I can hear your entire love letter. I-I've always...
W-Wings?!
She retracted them!
F-Fangs?!
She hid them!
Does this mean...
Did you see?
Did you?
U-Um, I... I didn't.
Y-You're lying.
No, I swear, I swear.
I wasn't watching you today, either.
You saw it! I can see it in your face!
He's taking a while.
I wonder if his confession went okay.
Maybe he already got rejected,
and he's off crying his eyes out somewhere.
Well, y'know, worrying won't do any good.
Let's go see him.
Oh? What about Asahi?
You!
The heathen queen!
Journalism Club president, Akemi Mikan!
You all look like idiots, as always.
Oh, I'm a huge fan of the school newspaper!
Will you stop that?
It kills all the fun when you enjoy it.
That's so harsh.
Why are you here, anyway?
I've been looking for a good story.
Where is he?
Tell me where Asahi went.
And if I said "no"?
Who do you think I am?
"Don't do it" means "do it."
"It's a secret" means "find out."
I'm Akemi Mikan, and that's my motto!
That's the heathen queen for you.
She's hardcore.
In that case...
Run!
Wait!
You guys!
I've been keeping it a secret, but...
Actually, I, Shiragami Youko,
am a vampire.
A vampire?
I'm such an idiot!
Why couldn't I wait until I got home before I spread my wings?
So, uh, you normally speak in the Kansai dialect, huh?
I tend to get complacent and show my fangs when I'm speaking normally,
so I make it a point to talk politely and avoid talking to people.
V-Vampires turn to ash when they're exposed to sunlight, right?
Is that why for P.E. and going to and from school...
No, I don't turn to ash.
I just tan really easily.
So that's what it was!
Goodbye, mysterious Shiragami!
So you aren't afraid of me, Kuromine-kun?
Because I'm, well...
a vampire?
No, in fact, it's really cute.
What?
What the hell am I saying?
Um, you don't have it confused with something else, do you?
Wait, do you not know what a vampire is?
I thought it was common knowledge.
Huh? She hasn't noticed I have feelings for her?
Could it be that Shiragami's...
really dense?
Oh, sorry. I've been rambling.
But, well, I mean...
I'm glad you're the last one I was able to talk to.
Now that I've been outed as a vampire,
I have to leave this school.
That's the condition my dad gave me.
Did I just screw up?
Um—
Honestly, I thought I was prepared for someone to find out eventually.
But I thought whoever found out would be scared to death.
I thought it would end a lot worse.
So, well...
Thanks a lot, Kuromine-kun.
How?
How can you smile like that, Shiragami?
I mean, it's my fault that...
Sorry, did I say something weird?
I-It's not!
It's not your fault!
No.
Shiragami can't quit school now.
I don't want that.
She's been happily chattering in her Kansai dialect,
switching from one expression to another.
I think she actually likes talking to people a lot.
Yet,
in order for her
to keep just one secret...
Hey, it's all right.
Look, I'm fine, see?
I had enough fun being a student.
Enough fun?
So I'm fine, see?
No.
I can't allow it!
Kuromine-kun?
Look, I don't want you to just quit school now.
What am I talking about?
I mean, um, you know...
That's it!
You can keep it a secret that your secret got out.
Yeah. That's it.
Then you won't have to quit school.
I'm, well... really easy to see through, apparently.
People always tell me I'm bad at lying and keeping secrets.
But this one...
Just this one secret...
I swear I'll keep this secret, no matter what!
So Shiragami Youko-san, please...
Please...
Let's be friends!
Huh?
Friends?
What the hell am I doing?!
Bring it on, leaky basket.
Take that!
I barely feel a thing.
Friends?
Uh, that is... I mean...
Did I say something weird?
Kuromine-kun,
well...
if I'm good enough...
I'd be glad to.
And so I, Kuromine Asahi, the leaky basket who can't lie or keep secrets,
now have a secret that I absolutely must keep to myself.
You have to wait until this late to go home, huh?
Well, I can't come to school tan every day.
That's true.
Speaking of which, you never noticed I was a vampire, did you?
No, I found out just today.
So I was being too self-conscious.
About what?
Well, I mean, I had the sense that you were looking at me a lot.
So I thought maybe you'd noticed I was a vampire.
L-Let's just say that's a secret.
S-Secret?
Did I have a nose hair sticking out or something?
Absolutely not!
I'm kind of glad.
You said you had other secrets, so you kind of scared me.
Sorry.
Yeah, I did have another secret.
I'll take this secret to the grave,
to protect Shiragami.
Listen, Shiragami-san...
I'll tell you my secret someday.
Hear me out when the time comes.
What's this about?
It's kind of scary when you make such a big deal out of it.
Communication systems online.
Code Number 138 here.
Operation proceeding without issue.
I am returning to regular duties.
Life signs from one o'clock?
It's...
Kuromine Asahi and Shiragami Youko.
Why are they here so late?
Actually I Am Quiz!
Can you guess?
Time for the Actually I Am Quiz!
Why now?
Whose silhouette is this?
You're not answering me?
Any hints?
The script says it's Kuromine-kun's crush.
Stop the quiz!
What are you doing, Kuromine-kun?!
I can't see with your hand in the way!
You don't have to see it!
I'm moving your hand!
Don't look, Shiragami!
Don't get the wrong idea, Eromine.
What the hell, Shima?!
You're really close to your friends, huh, Kuromine-kun?
