No New Calls
No new calls, huh?
You don't have to date me out ofpity or a sense of obligation!
Why did I say something Iike that?
Oh, I'm getting off!
The doors are closing. Please be careful.
I'm getting off! I'm getting off! The doors are closing. Please be careful.

Oh, thank you very much.

Aya-ppe ¦ Teaty-Eyed > Otohata Syndrome
Crap! I'm late!
I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!
Safe!
Out!
Man, so seriously, there I was, playing maracas in Shibuya...
...when this Mexican mambo group scouted me out.
And while I was training in Mexico, this cactus suddenly attacked me...
...and I was bedridden from all the needles I got stuck with.
Then I realized I was a second away from being late. It was awful!
Exclusively For Kotobuki
Cacti do not run!
Say, Naka Teach, how good was the "Cactus Attacks" story?
Hmm, it lacked impact, so I'd say 65 points.
Hey! Be honest and tell me why you were late!
I was sleeping like a log.
That's not a reason!
Since it's come to this, I'll need to have a chat with your parents.
Gag! Y-You mean, visit my house?!
Ifhe does that...
Giant Swing!
Naka Teach, anything but that, please!
You brought it on yourself.
Oh, I know!
I'll lead Class 2 to victory again in next year's sports fest!
Wrong!
We don't know that I'll be your homeroom teacher again next year.
Damn it! Then a win during the culture fest!
We don't have any competitive events during our culture fest!
Damn it all! Then... Then... Then...
This is like listening to a children's argument. Damn it all! Then... Then... Then...
This is like listening to a children's argument. I know! Just make up some competitive event!
Indeed. I know! Just make up some competitive event!
You, there. That's quite a good idea.
Oh, Mr. Vice Principal.
The main events during our culture fest are plain everyyear...
...and it definitely lacks excitement.
That's no good! You gotta go flashy forthe culture fest!
Hey! Don't you address the vice principal so casually!
Just leave it to me, Ran Kotobuki the festival girl,
and it'll be all good!
Mr. Nakanishi, what do you make ofthis?
It...
It's true that if it's for something like that,
I believe Kotobuki would be well suited.
Very well! I will designate Ran Kotobuki...
...to be the executive committee president for the culture fest!
What?!
Make it as exciting as you can, okay?
Leave it to me! You got it!
AIright! That settles it! No home visit!
M-Mr. Vice Principal!
No New Calls
Ran, are you seriously...
No New Calls ...the executive committee president for the culture fest now?
It's kind of cool that you're a committee president!
I'll do anything to avoid a home visit!
I knew there had to be something to this.
So, what kinds of events are you going to do?
Let's see, a para-para contest, a haunted house,
a curry eating contest...
And... The main event will pit couples against each other in an idiot match...
...and crown the number one bakappuru!
I call it "World's Greatest Bakappuru Grand Prix"!
World's Greatest Bakappuru Grand Prix I call it "World's Greatest Bakappuru Grand Prix"!
World's Greatest Bakappuru Grand Prix If it's being a bakappuru, you and me'll win it easy!
I don't know ifwinning that is a good thing...
Bakappuru! Bakappuru! Ook, ook!
Oh, next up is #4001, "Hamatcho Banana," with harmony! Bakappuru! Bakappuru! Ook, ook!
Oh, next up is #4001, "Hamatcho Banana," with harmony!
Hey, Ran, you're hogging the microphone too much.
Bakappuru! Bakappuru! Ook, ook!
Ook, ook! Bakappuru! Bakappuru!
Aya hasn't even sung one song. Ook, ook! Bakappuru! Bakappuru!
Oh, sorry about that. Ook, ook! Bakappuru! Bakappuru!
Gag!
A-Aya, what's wrong?
Don't mind me...
I'm not in the partying mood.
Oh, my god!
There it is again! Aya's Otohata Syndrome!
I shall explain!
The Otohata Syndrome is Aya-ppe's heartsickness...
A Rare 21st Century Disease > Otohata Syndrome Cool Ototchi Aya-ppe The Otohata Syndrome is Aya-ppe's heartsickness...
A Rare 21st Century Disease > Otohata Syndrome Cool Ototchi Aya-ppe ...when she agonizes over her relationship with Ototchi!
Come on, Aya, forget about that coldhearted ice-man.
Sing your Iungs out and cheer up.
Y-You're right.
Then, maybe I'll sing one song.
Yay! Let's get cheered up and do it!
And now, Aya Hoshino will sing "We Are Moles".
"We Are Moles"
Every day is pitch black, we moles are in holes Mainichi makkura bokura mogura wa ana no naka
There's no sunlight, only night for us Taiyou nai-nai yoru shika naito
But even if it's dark and there's no Iight... Akari mo nakute kurakutemo
...we moles lead happy Iives bokura mogura wa akaruku kurasu
Stop! Stop! This is depressing!
Hey, Aya, you've gone back to being a mole again?!
But...
Otohata hasn't contacted me at all since then.
I think I really might've been dumped!
Dumped? You're the one who yelled at him...
...and told him that he didn't need to date you.
If he has anyfeelings for me, he could at least call me.
The fact he hasn'tfollowed-up at all...
...means he wants to break up with me, right?
Butyou know, Ototchi's not the type to follow-up on things.
You said it. He's got that retarded,
"do not pursue those who leave" thing going.
You'll have to see him to find out what he's really thinking.
I'll wrangle him into coming to the culture fest somehow, so...
Ran...
It'll be easierforyou to see him if you have the culture fest excuse.
Right...
Man, you need so much looking after...
Ook!
Karaoke
AIright! Let's all sing a happy song together and get fired up!
Yeah! Yeah!

Hey! Don't give me that "ifyou feel like it" crap!
Hey, Otohata, ifyou can't even make a girl happy,
you're a failure as a man.
All you do is make Aya cry every day...
...and you call yourself her boyfriend?!
I'm a selfish kind of guy.
I'm pretty sure I told her so from the start.
What?!
Later.
Damn it! You son of a bitch!
You'll pay for it ifyou don't come!
Now, now, Ran, calm down. You bastard!

I wish we had a couple more people.
I'll go find some.
Huh? Find some? You got some people in mind?
No, but ifwe askthem, I'm sure they'll help.
Hey, Aya!
Aya's really pumped up aboutthis.
Help, huh?
I'm busywith club activities and stuff, so...
I've gotwork, too.
I'm not interested in that sort ofthing.
I see.
I plan to help her out.
Oh, Katase.

I'll join in, so won'tyou guys help out, too?
When the class rep puts itthatway...
Sure!
Okay, it's settled.
So, anyone with free time gets to help out, okay?
No complaining.
Thank you. You've been a great help.
Don't misunderstand.

It looks more like some kind of punishment.

World's GreatestBakappuru GP
You worked really hard for this.
It's all thanks to you getting people together that we made it in time.
No, it's because being busy keeps my mind offthings.
This was a good opportunity,
so I tried getting a fresh perspective on myself away from Otohata.
But my mind always kept going back to Otohata,
so it made me realize all over again that I really do like him.
I totally understand how you feel.
Miyu's mind is always on Yamato, too.
Aya, you make sure you really let Otohata know how you feel.
I will.
AIright! That's the spirit!
Aya, I'm rooting for you!

A-Are you...?
IfRan catches us Iike this...
Hello there...
Ghost!
Man, it's Ran-pyon. Were you seriously scared?
Success!
Hey, Kotobuki! Don't scare us like that!
Sorry about that. Thanks for coming.
You guys are entering the Bakappuru Grand Prix, too, right?
Well...
Yup! We're not gonna lose!
By the way, have you seen Ototchi?
No, I haven't...
This sucks.
Looks like it really would be better if Aya broke up with Otohata.
It's delicious!
It's the coffee beans from your place that makes it good.
Oh, please! Miyu, you flatterer!
So she waits in vain...
No NewCalls
Aya.
Aya!
Take this to Table 3 for me?
O-Okay.
I'm sorry!
Aya, are you okay?!
I'm sorry.

No, I don't really...
And now, Round One!
Piping hot oden while performing two people in a short coat!
Would she actually be happy to win as a bakappuru?
Ran's got a weakness for anything involving "winning", after all.
I'm glad the cut wasn't serious.
Yes.
Ifyou feel comfortable, you can talk to me.
What?
You'll at least feel a little better ifyou talk about it.
Or am I not trustworthy enough?
I'm on the brink of heartbreak.
I'm supposed to have arrived at a decision within myself,
but I'm wavering.
Every day, I'm always distracted.
I did horribly on the mock exam the other day.
Maybe you're pushing yourself too much.
What?
You're getting stressed because you're pushing yourselftoo hard.
There are people who aren't suited to you.
I mean, love is supposed to bring out the best in each other, right?
I'm sorry. That was going a little too far.
No, I understand.
But you know...
...I can't forget about him.
In the end, I still...
Otohata!
So you came, after all!
Yo.
You know, I...
Kotobuki told me you were crying every day, so I came to see,
butyou're smiling.
She's such a busybody.
In my heart, it's always a downpour.
My fault?
I don't know, but my feelings are a mess somehow.
World's Greatest Bakappuru GP Now, the game's even with one win each!

Damn it, just you wait, Kotobuki!

her heart melts with that warmth.
