00:00:00Masachika is a solitary but genius otaku, but who prefers to be a background character
00:00:04in his own life.
00:00:05But when the new Russian transfer baddie takes a liking to him, his lonely days are officially
00:00:09over.
00:00:10Now, she'll do absolutely anything to capture his virgin attention and make him fall head
00:00:14over heels for her.
00:00:15On a normal school day, everyone was fawning over Alya like she was the next best thing
00:00:19after bread.
00:00:20Alya was a half-Russian baddie with the best grades in school who everyone wanted.
00:00:24When she got to class, she found Masachika sleeping and decided to ruin his nap by banging
00:00:27his chair.
00:00:28She told him to stop spending all his nights watching brain-rot anime, but he argued that
00:00:32he didn't sleep because he was on Reddit arguing which anime character had the best knockers.
00:00:36As he rambled on about his obsession with big-chested mommies, she called him a stupid simp that'll
00:00:41end up dying in his mom's basement.
00:00:42Just then, he realized he didn't bring along his textbook, so he had to share Alya's for
00:00:46the first class.
00:00:47When Bro started sleeping in class, she crushed his feet and made him scream.
00:00:51Coincidentally, the teacher thought he wanted to answer the question he asked, but Bro was
00:00:55clueless.
00:00:55Alya sneakily showed him the answer, which he said, only to be told he was wrong.
00:00:59She then gave the correct answer when asked, causing Masachika to crash out at her.
00:01:02Seeing him emotional, she called him cute in Russian, and Bro secretly lost his mind
00:01:06because he understood Russian, unknown to her.
00:01:08She kept using Russian to compliment him like a good boy, thinking he was oblivious, so he
00:01:12simply played along.
00:01:13However, Bro was secretly crashing out because it was obvious she liked him, but he knew she
00:01:17might freak out if he told her he actually understood Russian.
00:01:20During free period, Masachika pulled out his phone, and she immediately called him out for
00:01:24breaking the rule, since she was part of the student council.
00:01:26He argued that it was an emergency, which made her curious, so she snatched the phone
00:01:30from his hand, only to discover he had just bought a rare Tsukuyomi gaming card.
00:01:34She argued that the legendary goddess's hair was supposed to be black.
00:01:37When Masachika said he actually preferred silver hair, she used the Russian language to call
00:01:41him a cheater for liking another person with silver hair instead of her.
00:01:44He almost lost his composure, but quickly asked what she said, and she lied that she called
00:01:48him a game junkie.
00:01:49Later at the cafeteria, Masachika's bald friend, Takeshi, who was crying because he
00:01:53was a cheapskate, and said it was a no-brainer given that he was bald at that age.
00:01:56Just then, they were distracted by the arrival of the student council, which comprised Alya,
00:02:01Masha, and Yuki.
00:02:02While the girls complained that all the seats were taken, the boys were gossiping about
00:02:05the rumors surrounding Masha's relationship status.
00:02:08Masachika told Takeshi to focus on someone else since he had no chances, but Bro immediately
00:02:12snapped and accused him of bragging because he is the only guy Alya talks to in school.
00:02:16Masachika kept complaining that all she does is scold him, but the guys argued that they'll
00:02:20even lick her boots if she lets them.
00:02:22Just then, Yuki and Masachika locked eyes, so she smirked and approached their table like
00:02:26a girl on a mission.
00:02:27Eventually, she and Alya sat down with them, and Takeshi couldn't believe they ordered
00:02:30the same thing.
00:02:31As she expressed her love for ramen, Takeshi seemed to be dazed because a pretty girl like
00:02:35her was actually talking to a loser like him.
00:02:37When she said she'd like more spice, Masachika agreed with her, so she decided to add it
00:02:41to her student council proposal.
00:02:42Masachika scolded her for abusing her powers for personal reasons, and as they laughed it
00:02:47off, Alya jealously cut in and asked when they became friends.
00:02:50Yuki then revealed that they'd been schoolmates since birth, which shocked Alya.
00:02:53Masachika also asked when they became friends, and after Yuki said they were not, she asked
00:02:57Alya to be her friend.
00:02:58Alya shyly said she wouldn't make a good friend since she was more boring.
00:03:01As they talked, Masachika's friends finally understood they were less than side characters,
00:03:05so they left the table allowing Yuki to flirt with him, which ticked off Alya.
00:03:09Yuki asked if he had considered her offer to join the student council since he already
00:03:13had the experience.
00:03:14Seeing Alya's confused reaction, Yuki explained that back in middle school, she was the council
00:03:18president and he was her vice president.
00:03:20She went on about how Masachika could be reliable if he wanted to be, but Alya was already fed
00:03:24up with their closeness.
00:03:26Outside once Yuki went her way, Alya said she couldn't believe any girl would want to be
00:03:30his friend, so he gestured to her that they were also friends.
00:03:32She acted as if she couldn't care less, but as she left, she smiled sheepishly.
00:03:37Later, Masachika was dreaming about the time when he used to play with a blonde girl when
00:03:40he was little.
00:03:41They spoke Russian together, and when it was evening, she kissed him goodbye, which somehow
00:03:45woke him back to his pathetic reality.
00:03:47He woke up and recalled how he'd learnt Russian just to talk to the girl.
00:03:50However, he'd forgotten her name since it was long ago.
00:03:52He eventually got to school and decided to clean up the classroom until it was as sparkling
00:03:56as Saitama's head.
00:03:57When Alya arrived, she asked what the occasion was, and when he said he had woken up early,
00:04:01she found it hard to believe, since he was a chronic weeb.
00:04:03He noticed her socks were wet and asked if she was that excited to see him, but she crushed
00:04:07his delusions by revealing how a truck had splashed a puddle on her.
00:04:10She then asked if he would actually consider joining the student council, and he said he
00:04:14wasn't interested.
00:04:14She wanted to convince him, but she changed her mind and began to take off her socks in
00:04:18front of him, so he turned away in embarrassment.
00:04:20When she noticed this, she displayed her smooth feet close to him and even asked him to help
00:04:24her grab her socks from the locker.
00:04:25She kept flaunting her legs like it was bait, and when he brought the socks, she asked him
00:04:29to put them on for her, but Bro freaked out and asked if she had a screw loose.
00:04:32She said it was thanks for helping her bring the socks, but Masachika argued that he didn't
00:04:36have such a high level.
00:04:37He hasn't leveled up his cultured kink yet.
00:04:39Seeing him hesitate, she told him not to bother, so Bro immediately switched up and said,
00:04:43OK, so she teased him in a freaky way in Russian, which sent shivers down his spine.
00:04:47As he wondered if she actually sold feet pics online and was using him to practice her OnlyFans
00:04:52ad, she told him not to bother anyone.
00:04:53That instant, he grabbed her legs like he wanted to split the Red Sea, and as he put
00:04:57it on, she tried to control her emotions.
00:04:59However, he mistakenly left the safe zone, which earned him a kick to the jaw and a peek
00:05:03at her plots.
00:05:04Later in class, Alia was visibly angry at Masachika, so he followed her outside to apologize.
00:05:08However, she called him a foot fetish degenerate in Russian, and then said she wasn't angry
00:05:12at him anymore.
00:05:13She also apologized for kicking him, but he said it was fine since he got to see the promised
00:05:16land.
00:05:17She immediately freaked out, and when the idiot kept thanking her for the rare opportunity, she kicked
00:05:21him again and promised to destroy his family jewels.
00:05:23She ran away embarrassed, and Masachika had to chase her all around school to apologize,
00:05:27and he only stopped after 10 minutes of cardio.
00:05:29Once they made up, he gave her a peace offering of her favorite drink, which she accepted.
00:05:33She asked if he wanted a sip in Russian, but he was more conflicted about the potential
00:05:37for an indirect kiss, and the fact that he almost nodded yes.
00:05:41She even made matters worse by saying he was clueless for not understanding her, leaving
00:05:45Masachika one second from crashing out, only to reveal that he understood her.
00:05:48One afternoon, Masachika met up with Yuki, and the two hit it off until Alia showed up
00:05:52as a third wheel.
00:05:53The moment Alia asked if she was intruding, Masachika clocked that Yuki was setting him
00:05:57up.
00:05:57He quickly changed the topic to setting up the storage room, and they began to use him as
00:06:01cheap labor.
00:06:01She asked him to bring down a board game, which he did, and as she rambled on about
00:06:05how good she was at playing, Alia interrupted again, asking him to pay attention to her in
00:06:09Russian.
00:06:09He tried to ignore her, but she kept repeating the words, come to me, and even used it as a
00:06:14song,
00:06:14thinking he didn't understand.
00:06:15After a while, Kanzaki, the student council president, showed up and was shocked to learn
00:06:20they were done.
00:06:20They then revealed that Masachika had done all the grunt work for free.
00:06:24Kanzaki thanked him for being free labor, but Masachika was busy being impressed by the
00:06:28guy who was aura farming just by standing.
00:06:30When Kanzaki offered to buy him lunch, Masachika was about to refuse, but the blabbermouth
00:06:34Yuki said he should accept, since he might end up eating food for thought that evening
00:06:37at home.
00:06:38He also invited Yuki and Alia to join, but as soon as they got to the restaurant, Bro lost aura
00:06:42points by announcing he would be working on a budget.
00:06:45Kanzaki once again thanked Masachika for his help, and Yuki started hyping Masachika's
00:06:49manual labor skills.
00:06:50Kanzaki didn't want free labor to go to waste, so he asked him to join the student council.
00:06:54He added that it'll boost his chances of getting into university, but Masachika said
00:06:58he planned to take the easy life by mining meme coins in his grandma's basement.
00:07:01Just then, Yuki suggested they run for the president position as a pair.
00:07:04He claimed she didn't need his help, but it turned out Alia would be running as well,
00:07:08which meant she had tough competition.
00:07:09That evening, Masachika found Yuki at home, with her rice cakes on display.
00:07:13When he asked what she was doing, goofing around like that, she ignored him and focused
00:07:17on her manga.
00:07:17He confronted her for lying about them being childhood friends when they were actually
00:07:21siblings.
00:07:22Still, Sis was more interested in telling him about the slimy Alabama love manga she was
00:07:26reading.
00:07:26The next morning, she decided to wake him up with the moves she had learned from the
00:07:30manga.
00:07:30As she sat comfortably on his shield hero, Bro begged her to leave before the shield rose.
00:07:34For that day, the otaku siblings went on a movie marathon, and then to the mall, and
00:07:38as they shopped, they both noticed Alia stalking them.
00:07:41He was going to ignore her, but Yuki went to say hi to her instead, and they decided to
00:07:44act like they didn't know she was stalking them.
00:07:46Yuki wanted to invite her for lunch, and when Masachika pointed out it was a special place
00:07:50for just them, Alia became curious.
00:07:52Yuki said she didn't mind the extra company, but Masachika still wanted to discourage her.
00:07:56So he said Alia might not be able to handle the spicy ramen.
00:07:59Alia unfortunately didn't budge, and they ended up taking her to a weird shop that freaked
00:08:02her out.
00:08:03Once inside, Yuki explained how the meal options were named after horror concepts, and
00:08:07they all ended up ordering the same thing.
00:08:08When Alia noticed Yuki was more dressed than usual, Yuki revealed she'd been out with
00:08:12Masachika the entire day, and added that they shared the same bed that morning.
00:08:16Immediately, everyone's attention was drawn to them, and she made things worse by flaunting
00:08:20the shirt he lent her.
00:08:21Masachika tried to explain himself, but he failed miserably, only to be saved by the arrival
00:08:25of their orders.
00:08:26She saw the food looking bloody hot, and the moment she dug in, the heat had her soul in
00:08:30a choke hold.
00:08:30And although the siblings were enjoying their meal, Alia was dripping everywhere.
00:08:34She kept complaining in Russian, but when Yuki asked if it was spicy enough, she lied
00:08:38that it wasn't.
00:08:39With a straight face, Yuki handed her a bottle called Devil's Tears.
00:08:43And Alia decided she wouldn't lose aura points by saying no.
00:08:46The moment she took it, she screamed so hard that they had to move outside to cool off.
00:08:49He brought her ice cream, and as they talked, he asked why she wanted to become the student
00:08:53council president.
00:08:54Alia immediately went on the defensive, and said she didn't need any special reason apart
00:08:58from improving herself.
00:08:59When he asked who she would contest against, she said she didn't need anyone's help.
00:09:02Masachika argued that she had to contest as a pair to be eligible, so, she said she'd
00:09:06find a random person to pair with.
00:09:07In Russian, she wanted him to join her, and the moment he heard this, he recalled the one
00:09:11time when his Russian friend was crying her eyes out.
00:09:14Back in reality, Yuki was nowhere to be found, so Alia asked him to accompany her to the mall.
00:09:18At first, Masachika hesitated because they might run into a schoolmate, but he eventually
00:09:22gave in and went with her.
00:09:23Once inside, Alia pulled all the stops by changing into an expensive dress to impress
00:09:27him.
00:09:27Fortunately, Masachika was impressed and even said she was pretty, so, she thanked her and
00:09:32went into a changing room to freak out.
00:09:33At the same time, Masachika was busy crashing out because he overdid the compliment.
00:09:37Just then, Alia noticed that Masachika must have had some experience complimenting girls.
00:09:42Since his only other friend was Yuki, she recalled her wearing a boyish outfit and immediately
00:09:46changed to a male outfit.
00:09:47Surprisingly, Masachika used his sugar tongue on her, showering her with praise as she kept
00:09:51changing outfits until she reached a revealing shirt.
00:09:53She summoned the courage to put it on, thinking Masachika might finally fall for her, but when
00:09:58she showed up looking freaky, Yuki ruined the moment with her sudden presence.
00:10:01She immediately sank into embarrassment, and even after they parted ways on the bus, she kept
00:10:05freaking out until she noticed they got off at the same station.
00:10:08At home, Alia was welcomed by Masha, who gave her a big hug before scolding her for not addressing
00:10:13her as her big sister.
00:10:14Once things had settled down, Masha asked what was wrong, and Alia explained that Masachika
00:10:19had got her all worked up.
00:10:20Masha seemed happy that she was having love issues since she always acted like an ice queen,
00:10:24but when she insisted that Alia liked Masachika, Alia went all defensive.
00:10:28She even revealed that Masachika was definitely her type.
00:10:30So she recalled that, some years ago, when she was actively learning Russian, she used
00:10:34to interact with guys.
00:10:35They were paired into groups in class to compete, but in the end, she was the only one doing
00:10:39the assignment seriously while the other boys just goofed around.
00:10:42When they saw that she was done with her essay, they told her to chill and take it easy before
00:10:46throwing her books away.
00:10:47In the end, her group didn't win the assignment, and she decided to always do things alone instead
00:10:51of relying on incompetent slackers.
00:10:53When she returned to Japan a few years later, she pulled off the impossible by passing a very
00:10:57difficult transfer exam, and everyone at the school praised her.
00:11:00Her first encounter with Masachika was him sleeping like a slow-witted idiot on a Monday
00:11:05morning.
00:11:06Over the next few hours, she watched Masachika slack off by forgetting his textbooks or running
00:11:10and breathing like an overworked horse.
00:11:12She hated slackers like him and profiled him as a loser.
00:11:15However, one day, while she was working on her school festival, she realized even the
00:11:19girls didn't take things seriously.
00:11:21As she overworked herself, she pricked her hands, but she was still prepared to finish her
00:11:25part even if it meant being alone.
00:11:26Just then, Masachika showed up and asked her to take the rest of the day off, but she refused.
00:11:31He then revealed that he'd asked the handicrafts club for assistance, and had also scheduled
00:11:35an overnight session to wrap things up when the time came.
00:11:37He explained how he literally baited people into helping, and Alia didn't know if it
00:11:41was okay to be impressed.
00:11:43However, she was headstrong and lashed out, saying she wouldn't let random people screw
00:11:47up her project because it bore her name.
00:11:49As she crashed out, Masachika said she was putting her efforts into the wrong things.
00:11:53He said it made no sense for only one person to work on the school festival project, when
00:11:57the whole goal was for everyone to work together.
00:12:00He realized he might have been insensitive and apologized, but Alia found his presence
00:12:04annoying and decided to leave as well.
00:12:06The next day at school, she watched everyone get pumped up for the festival preparations,
00:12:10thanks to Masachika.
00:12:11For the first time in many years, she actively participated in group activities and actually
00:12:15enjoyed it.
00:12:16On the evening of the main festival, while others were dancing, Alia joined Masachika in his corner.
00:12:20He asked if she wasn't dancing because she had two left legs, but she said she couldn't
00:12:24be bothered by dancing with guys below her level.
00:12:27Masachika said he expected as much, given that she was the ice princess notorious for
00:12:30turning guys down, but this seemed to annoy her.
00:12:33She said she didn't like the princess part of the name because her family was average,
00:12:36but people always got the idea she was a Nepo kid with a silver spoon.
00:12:40She added that this assumption led people to ignore her hard work, so Masachika decided
00:12:44not to use the nickname going forward.
00:12:46She also thanked him for making the festival preparations fun for her, by getting everyone in
00:12:50class to cooperate, so she wanted to make it up to him.
00:12:53She asked him for one favor, and after a moment, Masachika asked to use her customary
00:12:56Russian nickname.
00:12:57She said it was Alia.
00:12:59Masachika was excited that he was the only guy allowed to call her Alia instead of her
00:13:02normal name, Alisa, and she told him to stop embarrassing himself.
00:13:06Just then, three losers tried to ask her to the dance, but they wore their anxieties
00:13:09like ornaments and she immediately turned them down.
00:13:12When they persisted, Masachika grabbed her hands and said she was taken, and then he pulled
00:13:17her into the crowd.
00:13:17As her heart raced, Masachika asked her to dance, and she accepted.
00:13:21Back in reality, Masachika couldn't help but gush about her love story, but Alia argued
00:13:25that they were just friends.
00:13:26Her point was that Masachika was very reliable, and that was why she let him breathe the hair
00:13:30around her.
00:13:31Later on at school, Masachika was covering for Yuki's student council duties because she
00:13:35was away at the moment.
00:13:36In the room, Masachika introduced herself as Alia's elder sister, and after exchanging
00:13:40pleasantries, she revealed his task was to go shopping with her.
00:13:42She then grabbed his hands and asked for his first name, and when he mentioned it, she
00:13:47seemed to get all emotional like an old acquaintance.
00:13:49Just like her sister, she used Russian to convey her feelings, and Masachika pretended
00:13:53to be clueless.
00:13:54When they got to the mall, she started picking up everything that caught her attention.
00:13:58She wanted to pick a teddy for everyone in the student council, but thanks to Masachika,
00:14:02she only picked one in the end.
00:14:03As they walked, Masachika wished the day would end, as he found it hard to keep up with her
00:14:07eccentric side.
00:14:08Soon, they got to a cafe, and inside she asked about Masachika's opinion about their traditional
00:14:13tea.
00:14:13However, this made him recall how his parents split up, and he went with his dad, who didn't
00:14:17teach him jack.
00:14:18He also recalled leaving a sick Yuki with their mom, and this hurt him a lot.
00:14:22His mood immediately darkened, and when Masa noticed, she hugged him like a child.
00:14:26At first, Masachika enjoyed the somewhat familiar feeling, but he soon started freaking out because
00:14:30her tea was roasting his back.
00:14:32They soon returned to school, and Kensuki asked if she was going to keep the hideous teddy in
00:14:36the office, and she said yes.
00:14:37He told her not to and proceeded to inspect the other items.
00:14:40Seeing that they got what was essential, he thanked Masachika for ensuring Masha didn't
00:14:44buy the entire mall on a whim.
00:14:46Kanzaki once again asked Masachika to join the student council, but he said he'd rather
00:14:49binge watch One Piece in 240p.
00:14:52They even said he could join on paper and just help out occasionally, but their insistence
00:14:56made him suspicious, and he asked why Kanzaki really wanted him.
00:14:59Kanzaki replied that he had the experience, but Masachika argued that when he played the role
00:15:03in middle school, he didn't achieve any reasonable goals, so it wasn't worth it.
00:15:06And that's when Kanzaki cut in and revealed that he became the president to win the heart
00:15:10of his crush.
00:15:11While laughing, he showed Masachika a picture of an ugly fatso and said that was him two
00:15:15years ago, adding that he was an utter failure with terrible grades and sports skills.
00:15:19However, everything changed when he fell in love, and in the end, he bagged the baddie,
00:15:23who was now his vice president.
00:15:25In the end, they all agreed it would be okay to join, even for selfish reasons, and he said
00:15:29he'd consider it.
00:15:30Just then, he asked where the silver-haired trouble had gone, and Kanzaki revealed that
00:15:34she was mediating a dispute between the baseball and football teams, both of whom wanted to
00:15:38use the field.
00:15:39Meanwhile, neither team was budging because they had scouts from England and Real Madrid
00:15:43coming to watch them.
00:15:43As they talked, the popular Alia was practically invisible to them, and this made her wish she
00:15:48had help.
00:15:48She was worse than a wallflower, and as she sulked, she blamed herself for pushing everyone
00:15:52away, and hot tears ran down her cheeks.
00:15:55Just before she completely broke down, Masachika showed up and introduced himself as a student
00:15:59council member.
00:16:00He heard her secretly crying for help in Russian, while they ignored her existence and decided
00:16:04to stop watching from the sidelines and do something.
00:16:07In a few moments, Masachika proposed a solution, and both teams came to a compromise.
00:16:11That evening, Masachika apologized for sticking his nose in her business and making her look
00:16:15bad, but she argued that it wasn't so.
00:16:17When she asked what made him suggest what he said to them, he said he recalled that the
00:16:20soccer manager was dating the baseball team captain, so he used them to resolve the misunderstanding,
00:16:24because they didn't want to risk their relationship.
00:16:26In the end, the simps on the baseball team agreed to use the riverbank for training, because
00:16:31the female managers promised to go on a date with them.
00:16:33They soon ran into Kansaki, and Masachika immediately realized the guy was a manipulator, who had
00:16:38carefully planned everything to make him give in.
00:16:40He then agreed to join the student council officially, and Kansaki handed him a stack of paperwork to
00:16:45sign.
00:16:45That night, while Alia and Masachika headed home, she asked if he would pair with Yuki
00:16:49for the upcoming election, and he said he hadn't decided yet.
00:16:52Alia made it clear she wasn't going to back down, and recalling how she always did things
00:16:57alone, he said he'd make her the student council president by any means necessary.
00:17:01He promised to be with her and told her to take his hand, which made her so emotional,
00:17:05they became a team.
00:17:06She said she loved him in Russian, and that somehow reminded him of the babe that made
00:17:10him learn Russian when he was young.
00:17:12However, Alia somehow knew he was thinking of someone else, so she used her gorilla strength
00:17:16to crush his hands for his imaginary cheating.
00:17:18She assumed he was thinking about Yuki, and when he denied it, she pressed his hands harder
00:17:22and slapped him, sending him flying.
00:17:24As they went home, Masachika felt like he had even become more of a man because he got slapped
00:17:29by a babe, prompting Alia to ask if he forgot to pick up his brain when he fell earlier.
00:17:32After dropping her off at her house, she asked if he needed ice on his cheeks.
00:17:36Although he said he was okay, she decided to kiss him on the spot, leaving Bro blank as
00:17:40a board because he was stunned.
00:17:42Once he was gone, Alia was replaying the embarrassing moment in her room.
00:17:45She couldn't believe she had confessed to Masachika, and tried to delude herself that it was just
00:17:49a spur-of-the-moment thing she didn't mean.
00:17:52She went on about how she must focus on her goal of becoming student council president, but
00:17:56the fact that Masachika might not even see her in a romantic light bothered her even more.
00:18:00As she was crashing out, she heard Masha come in and went to greet her.
00:18:03Immediately, the obsessed girl brought out the teddy bear she had named after Alia earlier
00:18:07and said, I had a wonderful day.
00:18:09She revealed that she had met Masachika, and now understood why Alia was in love with
00:18:13him.
00:18:13When Alia denied having feelings for him, Masha said she should act fast before someone
00:18:18else steals his affection.
00:18:19Meanwhile, on his way home, Masachika was losing it over the cringe line and all the promises
00:18:23he'd made.
00:18:24He felt her love confession seemed genuine at the moment, but he still chose not to think
00:18:28about it and assumed she was just being emotional.
00:18:31Since he was in his feelings, he remembered how his mom and dad always competed about who
00:18:34would get milk first.
00:18:35They eventually divorced, which led him to believe that love was an unreliable emotion
00:18:39and a waste of time.
00:18:41When he got home, he noticed Yuki was there, so he had him cover for her in the student council
00:18:45because she supposedly had a bunch of stuff to do.
00:18:47If she was inside, it meant that she lied and helped Kanzaki drag him into his plan, so
00:18:52he checked her room and found her in her birthday suit.
00:18:54She immediately screamed, Gunnar, but Masachika wasn't having it because she lied to him.
00:18:57With a mischievous face, she seemed to be cooking something, but he asked her to put on some
00:19:01clothes first.
00:19:02When she wore a towel, she said they'd be living together and had somehow never practiced
00:19:06any Alabama breathing styles together.
00:19:10She wanted him to catch her without plot armor at least once, and Masachika told her
00:19:14to stop reading so much brain rot mangas.
00:19:16She said she just wanted to compensate him for lying, but Masachika said he wasn't interested
00:19:20in her surfboard chesticles.
00:19:21Like a mature man, he said men of culture actually preferred to be kept guessing, and he found
00:19:26it boring when girls reveal all their plot armor at the get-go.
00:19:29At first, she acted like she understood, only to drag him back and threaten to call the police
00:19:34if he didn't do what she wanted.
00:19:35Later, she was drying her hair in his room, and he decided to reveal that he would be supporting
00:19:39Alia for student council president.
00:19:41He expected her to become all emotional and disappointed, but she was only crashing out
00:19:45because she assumed he had fallen for Alia's massive melons.
00:19:48She begged him to manage her little oranges for now, and Masachika told her to stop because
00:19:52this recap is supposed to be user-friendly.
00:19:54She said an orange he could touch was better than the melons he couldn't, and gestured
00:19:58for him to have a go at her fun bags.
00:20:00At that point, Masachika said she needed therapy, and she clapped back by reminding him how he'd
00:20:05once buried his face in her plots.
00:20:07Masachika didn't seem to remember, and the jobless girl made sure to narrate the story
00:20:10a few years earlier.
00:20:12However, it turned out she was cooking more than Gordon Ramsay because at that time she was
00:20:16always bedridden due to her asthma.
00:20:18Hence, they never experienced any accident that could have led to such a situation.
00:20:22She suddenly asked him to brush her hair, and as he did, she said she didn't mind
00:20:25him supporting Alia.
00:20:26She said it could be a sort of sibling rivalry arc, and Masachika made sure to remind her
00:20:31how much he loves her.
00:20:32Before she left, she told him she didn't care if he cheated on her with Alia and would always
00:20:36welcome him with open arms when the ice princess breaks his heart.
00:20:39Outside his door, she said she was glad someone finally motivated him to do something, even
00:20:43if it wasn't her in the end.
00:20:44The next morning, he was worried that she didn't wake up in her usual bizarre way, and decided
00:20:49he'd make it up to her.
00:20:49However, the moment he stood up from the bed, she grabbed his leg and almost izakied him
00:20:54with the door.
00:20:54She was laughing like a demon incarnate, until she noticed she was stuck under the bed, and
00:20:59asked him to simulate the popular washing machine scenario.
00:21:02So he had his revenge by pressing her with his sheets until she gave up.
00:21:06That day in class, Alia was anxious as she waited for Masachika to arrive.
00:21:09When he finally arrived, she wanted to act tough, but she was caught off guard by how sparkling
00:21:14Masachika looked.
00:21:14While Masachika was talking to his friends, she noticed he wasn't his usual self and was
00:21:19hotter than usual.
00:21:19She immediately stopped having degenerate thoughts, but throughout the day, she kept staring at
00:21:24him, assuming he was trying to act cool for her.
00:21:26She decided to pour out her frustration on the volleyball court, but the moment she looked
00:21:30over at Masachika, Bro got assaulted by a ball.
00:21:32He had to take some time off to rest outside, and Alia joined him to make sure he was okay.
00:21:36While she checked if he had a temperature, he kept staring at her melons and couldn't stop
00:21:40him, Yuki's degenerate voice from replaying in his head.
00:21:43From that moment onwards, everything she did seemed to mess with his degenerate mind, and
00:21:47when she displayed her Hakutua skill with the water hose, Bro lost it and almost drowned
00:21:52in a water basin.
00:21:53Just then, Masachika showed up, and when she noticed he was wet, she dried him up with
00:21:56her towel while also giving him some amazing views.
00:21:59He said he felt like a dog because of the way she was handling him, and she said if he
00:22:03were a naughty dog, she might let him crack.
00:22:05Just as they were beginning to get in the flow, Alia came to ruin everything by dragging
00:22:09him to class.
00:22:10However, she suddenly stopped halfway and asked if he needed ice.
00:22:13Bro was getting suspicious because she didn't smack him for staring at her in a soose way,
00:22:16and had also been so nice all day.
00:22:18She wanted to check his head, but he pulled back because he thought she was becoming too
00:22:22lovey-dovey after the cheek kiss.
00:22:24When she asked why she was unnecessarily nice to him, she said it was because he'd been acting
00:22:27off all day and she thought something was wrong.
00:22:30He said he was fine and probably energized because he slept well for once, but this only infuriated
00:22:34her since she was fighting her demons after their late-night shenanigans.
00:22:37Noticing this, he tried to lighten the mood, but Alia wore a scary face and left angrily,
00:22:41saying she was falling for a clueless idiot.
00:22:43Later in class, she completely ignored him, and as they walked to the student council room,
00:22:47they saw the guys from the sports team apologizing before leaving.
00:22:50The moment they approached the door, they were met with a powerful stink eye, and they immediately
00:22:54closed the door.
00:22:55She called them back and apologized for scaring them off, then explained that she had given
00:22:59the annoying sports team a scolding after learning they had given her junior a hard time
00:23:03some days ago.
00:23:03After the introduction, Masachika argued that Shisaki had gone too far by bullying them with
00:23:08her bamboo sword, and he silently prayed never to offend her, because all the guys call her
00:23:12boss for a reason.
00:23:13She then asked Kenzaki to support her use of violence, but Bro didn't support his girlfriend,
00:23:17and the two started a special kind of PDA that nearly dislocated Kenzaki's shoulders.
00:23:22When Masha came in, she asked them to get a room, only for them to turn it up a notch,
00:23:26and
00:23:27Kenzaki went on about how he'd been pumping iron so she could use his body as a strength-control
00:23:31punching bag.
00:23:32Eventually, Yuki arrived, and they began the meeting with a formal introduction from Masachika,
00:23:36who also announced his plan to run for a President with Alia.
00:23:39With a loud voice, Bro announced that he was an otaku and was ready to hate on solo leveling
00:23:43any time of the day.
00:23:45After the introduction, Kenzaki asked him to shadow Alia to get the hang of his role on
00:23:49the team.
00:23:50Masachika pointed out that the way he talked made it sound like they were short-handed,
00:23:53and just as he confirmed this, Yuki asked for permission to attend another meeting with
00:23:57the art club.
00:23:58She also asked Alia to serve as treasurer, but Masachika knew she was definitely plotting
00:24:02something.
00:24:03As they walked in the hallway, Alia told her to stop in an empty classroom so they could
00:24:06chat.
00:24:07There, she revealed that she would be running for Council President with Masachika, and
00:24:11Yuki replied that she was aware.
00:24:12Yuki asked if that was all, and Alia said yes, adding that she wasn't going to apologize
00:24:16to her.
00:24:17Yuki said she didn't need an apology because it was Masachika's decision, and she had no say
00:24:21in it.
00:24:22She simply said she was a bit bummed, he didn't choose her instead.
00:24:25So Alia wanted to ask if she liked Masachika, but she hesitated.
00:24:28Immediately, Yuki took the opportunity to announce that she loved Masachika more than
00:24:32anyone in the world, including her father and mother.
00:24:35She decided to press Alia further by asking how she felt about Masachika, but Alia simply
00:24:40said they were good friends.
00:24:41Yuki probed further like an interrogator, and as she pushed her to the wall, Alia said she
00:24:45didn't know how she felt, but she wasn't going to let Yuki have him.
00:24:48On hearing that, Yuki was satisfied and decided to continue their actual mission.
00:24:52She also asked Alia if she could use her nickname, and they both decided to use their
00:24:55familiar names and move on.
00:24:57Meanwhile, in the student council room, Masachika was diligently helping Masha out, while Chisaki
00:25:01was making a mess.
00:25:02Kanzaki had to send her on a fake errand, just to make the hyperactive lady focus her energy
00:25:07on something else.
00:25:07He also apologized to Masachika on her behalf and added that she has her strengths as well.
00:25:12Just then, Masha decided to take a tea break, and Masachika wanted to help, but she said
00:25:15she was fine because she loved making tea.
00:25:18When he noticed she was drinking black tea, she explained that her family's time in Russia
00:25:21had shaped their tastes.
00:25:22She then asked if he knew much about Russia, and he lied that he only sometimes watched
00:25:26Russian movies with his granddad in the past.
00:25:28After being served, the tea hit the right spot, and he recalled how his mum used to obsess
00:25:32over tea too.
00:25:33When he noticed she was eating her jam separately from her tea instead of mixing it, he decided
00:25:37to try it as well.
00:25:38Just then, the girls arrived, and Masha offered to serve them tea too.
00:25:42Alia went to sit so close to Masachika, so he asked for some space, and she replied that
00:25:46it was bad luck for a girl to sit at the corner of the table in Russia.
00:25:49He then noticed Yuki smirking mischievously at the situation, and immediately knew the little
00:25:53rascal must have done something.
00:25:55Masachika asked Masha whether the superstition was real, and she confirmed that it's a ritual
00:25:59for unmarried people seeking love.
00:26:01She wanted to know if Alia had found someone, but she brushed it off and asked them to drop
00:26:05it, adding that they were too young in Russian.
00:26:07On hearing this, Masachika was shocked that Alia pulled her Russian stunts even in front
00:26:11of her sister.
00:26:12Later, as Masachika and Alia walked home together, he noticed she was quiet and invited her to
00:26:16a cafe to find out why.
00:26:18But he lied and said they would be talking about their election plans.
00:26:21Before they went in, she complained that he didn't see it as a date in Russian, but he
00:26:24pretended like he didn't hear her.
00:26:26When they got inside, she said she needed the sugar because her brain was tired from all the
00:26:29talking she had done that day.
00:26:31He then asked if something had happened with Yuki, and she said everything was fine before
00:26:35asking whether they were dating.
00:26:36Masachika made it clear he was single and explained how Yuki was a wolf in sheep's clothing,
00:26:40who acted like a saint, but clearly wasn't.
00:26:43He refused to disclose that they were siblings and shifted the conversation to their election
00:26:47aspirations.
00:26:47He said they had a 0% chance of beating Yuki at present, and that it was worse because they
00:26:52were the only contestants.
00:26:54He explained that he and Yuki somehow won their election against 10 opponents, and that she mainly
00:26:58won thanks to her ability to debate during the school's congress.
00:27:01He said the reason they weren't other opponents this time around was that everyone knew they
00:27:05had no chance of beating Yuki.
00:27:07As he talked, she noticed how unbothered he was and didn't even notice when she'd chewed
00:27:11the life out of her straw.
00:27:12She then switched to devouring her parfait like a starved Nappa animator, so he pointed
00:27:16out how distracted she was.
00:27:18She still thought he was playing mind games, and she decided to tease him.
00:27:21By asking if he wanted a bite from her parfait, in a freaky voice she handed him her spoon,
00:27:25which he refused at first, but she said it was normal to share spoons in Russia, and he
00:27:29ended up feeding her.
00:27:30Masachika felt like he was in la-la land, and everyone in the restaurant was staring
00:27:34at them with strange googly eyes.
00:27:36Once things calmed down, she asked how they'd beat Yuki, and Masachika said they won't
00:27:40be able to beat her at her own game, so they had to campaign and win over students with
00:27:44an idea she wouldn't think of.
00:27:45He made an example of Kanzaki, who wasn't even on the student council when he contested,
00:27:49but he still managed to beat a candidate who was also a former student council president,
00:27:53thanks to his elaborate strategy.
00:27:55He basically pulled off the loser-to-hero story with his Fatso backstory, and the crowd
00:28:00were impressed by his growth and started rooting for him.
00:28:02This meant she needed a backstory to let people know she is more than the Ice Princess.
00:28:06And Masachika, yes.
00:28:08Their eyes met on the spoon they shared, and the atmosphere grew awkward.
00:28:12Masachika took the initiative to order something new and asked for a new spoon as well, but
00:28:16when she saw it, she said he didn't have to.
00:28:18He replied that he did it for himself, so she called him a baby simp who got flustered over
00:28:22sharing a spoon.
00:28:23He argued that it wasn't something to take lightly, adding that it was probably only casual
00:28:28in Russia, so she whispered that she'd only do it with him in Russian.
00:28:31Back to the topic at hand, Masachika suggested the best opportunity she'd get to build support,
00:28:36like Kanzaki would be the term's opening ceremony speech.
00:28:39She asked what the speech would be about, and he said she should speak her mind because
00:28:42the audience loves raw emotional displays.
00:28:45He said she didn't need to do anything extra since she had a captivating aura, which made her blush.
00:28:49She then asked to taste what he ordered, but he hesitated to give it to her because she
00:28:53couldn't handle the heat.
00:28:55When she insisted, Bro let his inner demons win, and he served her anyway.
00:28:59The moment she took a sip, she realized the truth was actually bitter, and held her mouth
00:29:03until they left the place.
00:29:04As they walked home, she wondered who Yuki would partner up with, since she had stolen
00:29:08him from her.
00:29:08He claimed Yuki was popular enough to win on her own, but she might go for someone with
00:29:13student council experience, like Sayaka.
00:29:14Masachika asked who that was, and Masachika explained that, back in middle school, she
00:29:19was Yuki's toughest opponent, giving her a run for her money.
00:29:22However, the next day, Yuki shocked them by introducing a girl named Ayano as the latest
00:29:27member of the student council, which meant that she would be Yuki's running mate.
00:29:31A few days later, Ayano sought an audience with Masachika, and told him that his grandfather
00:29:35wasn't pleased to learn that he was running against Yuki in the elections.
00:29:39Masachika couldn't understand what the old geezer's deal was, but Ayano clarified that
00:29:43she was flying solo because she wanted to understand why he'd turned his back on Yuki.
00:29:48Hearing this, Masachika explained that he was running against Yuki because he'd promised
00:29:52Alia that he'd help her win.
00:29:54Curious, Ayano asked whether he'd grown to dislike Yuki at all.
00:29:57Masachika swore that Yuki was still the most important person in his life, and pleaded with
00:30:01Ayano to keep supporting her.
00:30:02So Ayano told him not to worry, and finally left him alone.
00:30:05But he couldn't help but feel like he'd disappointed her.
00:30:08Later on during lunch, Takeshi showed Masachika a bikini magazine and asked which of the girls
00:30:12on the cover was his type.
00:30:13Masachika randomly pointed at a girl, but Hikaru said the girl looked like Masha.
00:30:17This prompted Takeshi to ask if he was secretly pining over her, but Masachika assured him
00:30:22that simping wasn't part of his life goals.
00:30:24Just then, Alia appeared behind him, and aside from giving him the stink eye, called him a
00:30:28dirty pig.
00:30:29Masachika quickly explained that the magazine belonged to Takeshi, but that didn't change
00:30:33how she looked at him.
00:30:34After she took her seat, Takeshi tried to change the topic by nervously asking if Masachika
00:30:38liked Yuki romantically.
00:30:40Masachika didn't think twice before rejecting that notion, and saying he wanted to date someone
00:30:44who could also be his best friend.
00:30:46Alia listened to everything he said quietly, but now and then she'd ad-lib in Russian,
00:30:50comparing his ideal girl to herself.
00:30:52However, when he mentioned something about a cute smile and warm eyes, a cold gust of wind
00:30:57hit her.
00:30:57It only got worse when his friends made comments, because it was clear that she'd never be his
00:31:01type.
00:31:02Seeing this, Masachika cautioned the boys, but that dumb Takeshi just had to blurt out something
00:31:06even worse.
00:31:07The next second, Alia's shadow descended on the table like an evil omen, and sarcastically
00:31:12apologized for not being cute and charming enough.
00:31:14She then hit Takeshi with her icy stare and confiscated the magazine on her way out.
00:31:18Meanwhile, Ayano met Yuki in an empty classroom and apologized for doubting Masachika's intentions.
00:31:23She also told her what Masachika said about her being his top girl, and the girl almost
00:31:27screamed out in joy.
00:31:28Fortunately, she had self-control and held her breath until that urge passed.
00:31:32She then told Ayano that things were getting interesting because she didn't think Alia could
00:31:36have put up a fight on her own.
00:31:38Ayano argued that it didn't matter because most of the students preferred Yuki over Alia.
00:31:42Yuki felt sorry for Alia, but at the same time, she was intrigued to see how her genius brother
00:31:47would turn the tide on the public's opinion.
00:31:49The next day, during the student council's welcome party for Masachika and Ayano, Alia
00:31:54and Yuki played poker.
00:31:55Masachika watched from the table with the president and the vice president, and they observed that
00:31:59Alia had a terrible poker face, unlike Masha, whose expressions never gave away what she
00:32:03was thinking.
00:32:04Shizaki even added that Masha was also so spontaneous that she sometimes wondered if the lights in
00:32:09her head worked.
00:32:09Masachika immediately called Shizaki out for saying it out loud, but she wasn't the least
00:32:13bit sorry.
00:32:14Just then, the resident ninja suddenly appeared behind Shizaki to refill her cup, and the girl
00:32:19almost had a heart attack.
00:32:20Shizaki then asked how she'd learned to mask her presence, and Ayano told her that her grandparents
00:32:24had taught her.
00:32:25They worked for Yuki's family, and she admired them so much that she decided to follow in their
00:32:29footsteps and serve Yuki.
00:32:30During her explanation, she almost let slip that Masachika was also her young master, but
00:32:35she quickly corrected herself.
00:32:37Masachika had noticed it as well, so he called her aside and warned her to be careful.
00:32:40Ayano assured him it wouldn't happen again, and when he saw the way she looked at him,
00:32:44he realized she wasn't angry with him anymore.
00:32:46He wondered what he'd done to return to her good books, and Masha came and asked for a refill.
00:32:50The president then wondered whether it was a good idea to let Alia and Yuki continue their
00:32:54game, since Alia looked like she might throw hands at any minute.
00:32:57Masachika and Masha revealed that Alia was actually enjoying herself, which was very hard to
00:33:02believe.
00:33:02Before they could explain why, Ayano ran out of juice, so Masha offered to get more and
00:33:07asked Masachika to accompany her.
00:33:09After taking everyone's drink order, the two left and were on their way.
00:33:12Masha thanked Masachika for being Alia's running mate.
00:33:15He told her that he hadn't done anything that warranted her gratitude, but Masha assured him
00:33:18that he had.
00:33:19As she spoke, he realized something and asked whether she was deliberately pretending to be dumb.
00:33:23Masha wasn't surprised by his question and admitted that she did it because she didn't
00:33:27want to compete with her sister.
00:33:29Alia had always been the type to work hard for the things she wanted.
00:33:32And as her big sister, she wanted to support her, even if it meant dimming her own light.
00:33:36As an older sibling, Masachika could relate to Masha's reason, but he wondered whether
00:33:40Yuki was also putting on an act to avoid sibling rivalry.
00:33:43That thought only lingered for a few seconds because there was no way Yuki was faking her craziness.
00:33:47He then commended Masha, and she asked that he keep their discussion from Alia.
00:33:51Masachika assured her that he was no snitch, and even if he told Alia, she'd never believe
00:33:55him, since he was never serious.
00:33:57Masha asked why he always acted like a clueless fool, and he admitted it was because he was
00:34:01just lazy.
00:34:02She obviously didn't believe him, so she patted his head and told him he was doing a good
00:34:06job.
00:34:07Later, a girl named Sayaka approached Alia and asked her to step outside for a little
00:34:10chat.
00:34:11Alia accepted her invitation and was surprised when the girl started calling her names.
00:34:14She said that Alia had stolen Yuki's running mate to spite her, but Alia argued that she
00:34:18would never do something so underhanded.
00:34:20As they argued, Masachika saw them, so he rushed over to do some damage control.
00:34:24Still, Sayaka stood her ground and even accused him of being a traitor.
00:34:28Masachika assured her that Yuki had accepted his decision and demanded that she apologize
00:34:32to Alia.
00:34:33Hearing this, Sayaka concluded that Masachika was to blame and challenged him to a debate.
00:34:38When Masachika asked why, she claimed it was because someone like him didn't belong
00:34:42on the council.
00:34:43Alia then told her that if she wanted to kick Masachika out, she had to go through her first.
00:34:47Sayaka said she didn't mind, because she wanted both of them gone.
00:34:51The next day, Masachika and Alia presented the debate topic to the council president,
00:34:55who asked whether they truly wanted to go through with it.
00:34:57They confirmed that they did, and Alia added that she also wanted Sayaka to apologize for
00:35:01insulting them unprovoked.
00:35:03Hearing this, he promised to post the announcement later that day, but Yuki, who was there, asked
00:35:07for permission to write it.
00:35:08That evening, they stayed back to prep, and Alia asked Masachika if he had offended Sayaka,
00:35:13because she seemed genuinely to hate him.
00:35:15Masachika assured Alia that it wasn't that deep, but Alia couldn't help but feel like
00:35:19she was to blame, so she promised him that they would win the debate no matter what.
00:35:22The next day, outside the auditorium, Nonoa, Sayaka's running mate, approached them and
00:35:27casually wished them good luck.
00:35:28After she walked away, Masachika told Alia that Nonoa was very popular, and had connections
00:35:32everywhere.
00:35:33Still, for some reason, she chose to be besties with Sayaka, whose day job was being a hater.
00:35:37Inside, the students had already gathered, each with a different opinion on how the debate
00:35:41would go.
00:35:42When Alia got on stage, she froze, suddenly remembering that the last time she was in such
00:35:45a setting, she'd been crippled with fear and barely said a word.
00:35:49Just then, Masachika walked up to her and suddenly asked what her plot size was.
00:35:52Shocked, Alia covered her chest and told him that it wasn't the right time for him to show
00:35:56off his culturedness.
00:35:57Masachika disagreed, saying it was the best time because she wouldn't want to risk her reputation
00:36:01by hitting him.
00:36:02In response, Alia stared him down and told him to die.
00:36:04But Masachika said he loved it when she treated him like garbage, and asked if she felt better.
00:36:08He explained that he'd said those things to ease her nerves, adding that her perfectionism
00:36:12was her biggest enemy.
00:36:14He said the best thing to do was wing it, and as a professional winger, he would help
00:36:17her.
00:36:17Soon, it was time for the debate, and Sayaka went first.
00:36:20The girl presented strong points backed by data, and even Masachika found himself agreeing
00:36:24with her to an extent.
00:36:25When she finished, the students applauded, and then Alia took the stand.
00:36:29After she gathered her thoughts, she took Masachika's advice to wing it, and her counter-arguments
00:36:33landed with precision, leaving the students divided.
00:36:35Because of that, Sayaka turned to stare at Masachika as if it were his fault that her
00:36:40professionally crafted words had failed to keep all the students on her side.
00:36:43So when Kanzaki opened the floor for questions, she immediately stood up and fired off what
00:36:48she assumed was a tough question.
00:36:50Alia answered the question with facts, leaving Sayaka feeling like a fool.
00:36:53However, despite her expression remaining blank, Masachika clocked the moment she realized
00:36:57she'd messed up.
00:36:58She'd been so focused on taking him down that she had ignored and underestimated Alia.
00:37:02So, he wanted to see how she'd recover from her mistake and turn things around.
00:37:06When Sayaka asked her next question, Nonoa tapped her phone screen, and the next moment,
00:37:10some students began mumbling.
00:37:11One person mentioned that Alia was a transfer student, so she had no idea how things actually
00:37:15worked at the school.
00:37:16This set off a chain reaction among the other students, who began to agree that Sayaka was
00:37:20the best choice.
00:37:22Masachika immediately deduced that Nonoa was behind it, so he tapped Alia out and made
00:37:25a joke at her expense to calm the crowd.
00:37:27He then asked them whether the debate was really necessary, since it wasn't the first
00:37:31student council election.
00:37:32Sayaka didn't like where his argument was heading, but she kept quiet and listened.
00:37:36Masachika pointed out that their current council president used to be a worse slacker than him,
00:37:40and failed almost all his classes.
00:37:42However, they still voted him in because they had seen his potential, and he also worked on
00:37:46himself to be worthy of the position.
00:37:48He then gave a few more points before asking again if they still thought the debate was necessary.
00:37:52When no one said anything or even clapped, Kanzaki announced they were moving to the closing
00:37:55statements, and asked Sayaka to come forward.
00:37:58Surprisingly, the girl ran away, but Alia chased after her, leaving everyone confused.
00:38:02So, Nonoa declared that she and Sayaka were conceding, and formally withdrew their motion.
00:38:06Meanwhile, Sayaka was reminiscing about when Yuki and Masachika had beaten her in the council
00:38:10elections.
00:38:11She hadn't been happy, but she had admired their teamwork, and that helped her accept her
00:38:15defeat.
00:38:15However, when she saw that Masachika had switched sides, she felt betrayed.
00:38:19Back in the present, Alia caught up with Sayaka and was surprised to see her crying.
00:38:22Sayaka didn't seem to care and began complaining that Alia had destroyed what Yuki and Masachika
00:38:27had.
00:38:27She also said that she had been willing to lose again if the two had gone up against
00:38:31her, but she could never understand why Masachika had chosen to partner with Alia.
00:38:35Just then, Nonoa found them, and when she saw her friend crying, she apologized to Alia
00:38:39on her behalf.
00:38:40Alia then turned to leave, but suddenly stopped and told Sayaka that she didn't know why Masachika
00:38:44had chosen to partner with her either.
00:38:46The only thing she knew was that his decision had been the right one, and she was going to prove
00:38:50it to Sayaka by working hard.
00:38:52After she left, Nonoa commented that Alia was a good person, and told Sayaka to apologize
00:38:56to Masachika and Alia when she'd calmed down a bit.
00:38:58Back in the auditorium, Yuki was in the control booth with Ayano, and she said that Masachika
00:39:02was a softie, so he and Alia wouldn't stand a chance against her.
00:39:06Ayano quickly reminded her that Masachika and Alia had all but won the debate with little
00:39:09effort, and Yuki started complaining.
00:39:11She said she was trying to convince herself that she stood a chance against those two, and
00:39:15that Ayano had ruined the villain vibe she was going for.
00:39:17However, Ayano apologized, but still said that it was only losers who did cringey monologues
00:39:21like that, so Yuki refused to speak to her again.
00:39:24Meanwhile, Alia and Masachika were sitting on the stage, and she told him what Sayaka
00:39:28had said.
00:39:29As they talked further, she promised to prove that he'd made the right decision in partnering
00:39:33with her, but still asked why he'd done so.
00:39:35Masachika explained that he'd said yes to her because he actually wanted to run for office,
00:39:39unlike with Yuki, whom he'd run with because he felt guilty towards her.
00:39:43Seeing Alia's reaction, Masachika clarified that he wasn't comparing both girls, but his
00:39:47awkwardness made her laugh, so he asked why she'd chosen him to be her running mate.
00:39:51Alia answered in Russian and refused to tell him the meaning, so he gave up and followed
00:39:55her out.
00:39:55Days later, during dinner at Yuki's residence, her grandfather brought up the debate and
00:39:59said that Sayaka's loss had given Masachika an unnecessary advantage.
00:40:02He told her that she wasn't allowed to lose to Masachika under any circumstances because
00:40:06that would be a real blow to her.
00:40:07Or so he claimed, because he was the one who actually didn't want to lose face.
00:40:11The plot gods had exceptionally blessed Masachika, but he chose to abandon his calling to become
00:40:15a bum loser so the old man didn't want him to keep winning.
00:40:18Yuki assured him that she would bring honor to their family and when dinner was over,
00:40:22her mother stopped her on the stairs.
00:40:23The woman asked if Yuki was still close to her brother, and Yuki replied that SpongeBob
00:40:27and Patrick had nothing on them.
00:40:28She then asked if there was anything else she wanted to know, and her mother said there wasn't,
00:40:32so she and Ayano continued to her room.
00:40:34Once there, Yuki sighed in relief and asked Ayano to allow her to hug her.
00:40:37The maid agreed, but Yuki took it a step further and motorboarded herself until she felt better.
00:40:42It seemed that dealing with her family was more stressful than she let on, but she was
00:40:45already used to how things worked.
00:40:47The following week, Masachika got surrounded by his classmates who believed he'd manipulated
00:40:51the whole debate to go in his favor.
00:40:53The boy assured them he hadn't done anything and asked them to direct their questions to
00:40:56Alia, as he had a game to finish.
00:40:58When no one spoke up, he kicked Hikaru's chair and signaled to the guy to take the lead,
00:41:02so he did, and soon after, the others joined the Q&A session.
00:41:05Alia was genuinely surprised that they were interested in her, while Masachika just smiled,
00:41:10enjoying his proud dad moment.
00:41:12However, when the boys started making fun of Sayaka, Alia suddenly stood up and asked
00:41:15Masachika to follow her.
00:41:17Masachika quickly covered up, saying they had a student council thing to handle,
00:41:20so that the guys wouldn't start talking about how the Ice Queen Alia was a rude brat.
00:41:24Once they were in the council room, Alia expressed her worry over Sayaka's ruined reputation.
00:41:28Masachika had expected that, but pointed out that if they started defending Sayaka,
00:41:32the legitimacy of their win would be called into question. Hearing this, Alia became conflicted
00:41:37and unsure of what to do, so Masachika helped her. He asked which was more important to her
00:41:40as a person, and she admitted she would like it if people stopped bad-mouthing Sayaka.
00:41:45Masachika told her it was fine and said he would find a way to sort out the issue.
00:41:48Later, Masachika went looking for Nonoa, who was hanging out with her popular gang.
00:41:52Nonoa agreed to speak to him in private, and he told her he wanted her help fixing Sayaka's reputation.
00:41:57Nonoa reminded him that they were enemies, but he told her that neither he nor Alia actually cared.
00:42:02Intrigued, she talked about the agents she'd planted in the audience during the debate.
00:42:06Masachika confirmed that he'd noticed them and said he hadn't expected her to risk her friendships
00:42:10that way. Nonoa revealed that the only friendship she cared about was the one she had with Sayaka,
00:42:15so Masachika asked why. Nonoa explained that Sayaka was full of mysteries and that she loved them.
00:42:20She said Masachika was the same and asked how he wanted to go about reviving Sayaka's image.
00:42:24He told her to start a plausible rumor about why Sayaka ran off stage that day,
00:42:27and Nonoa pointed out that people would start questioning their win.
00:42:30Masachika assured her that it was fine with them, so she told him it was done and walked away.
00:42:35When she returned to class, her friends asked what Masachika wanted.
00:42:37She told them he'd inquired about Sayaka because she'd skipped school.
00:42:40One of the girls asked if Sayaka was still feeling down over losing the debate,
00:42:43and Nonoa said that wasn't the case.
00:42:45She explained that Sayaka had rushed off stage after discovering that she had planted people in the audience.
00:42:50Knowing how righteous Sayaka was, the group believed Nonoa's lie.
00:42:53Later, Masachika asked Alya if they could study together after school,
00:42:56and she agreed even though she felt he was plotting something.
00:42:59After school, they holed up in the student council room,
00:43:01and as they studied, he noticed that Alya was so close to him that they could merge.
00:43:05When he pointed it out, she asked if that was a problem,
00:43:07and he told her it wasn't as long as no one saw them.
00:43:10On cue, Yuki and Ayano arrived, and Masachika couldn't believe his bad luck.
00:43:13However, Yuki didn't comment on their closeness and asked if they could join the study session.
00:43:17Alya pretended to be okay with them joining, but muttered under her breath in Russian
00:43:20that she wished it were just her and Masachika.
00:43:23A little while later, Alya asked why Masachika had been reading the quotations instead of solving them.
00:43:28Masachika answered that his method was better for remembering,
00:43:30and Yuki said he had always been that way.
00:43:32She even got Ayano to back her up, and once again,
00:43:35Alya was left feeling like the unwanted wheel of this thruple.
00:43:37A few moments later, Masachika noticed Ayano staring at her book and asked if she needed help.
00:43:42The girl said she didn't want to trouble him, but wouldn't mind it if he berated her,
00:43:45and called her a useless waste of space. Masachika pretended like he hadn't heard what
00:43:49the masochistic freak said, prompting Alya to question whether their friendship was really
00:43:53just a friendship. Before they could respond, Masha arrived, so they took a tea break and were soaking
00:43:57in the silence until Masha spotted a hypnosis book. She immediately asked Alya to try hypnotizing her,
00:44:03but Alya refused, prompting Masha to start whining like a spoiled brat. In the end,
00:44:07she got Masachika to agree, and to everyone's surprise, he hypnotized her into falling asleep.
00:44:11When he undid the hypnosis, Masha couldn't remember anything, but Alya was convinced that she was
00:44:16faking. To find out the truth, Yuki suggested that Masachika hypnotize Alya, and she agreed.
00:44:21The hypnosis worked, but the surprising part was that it worked on Masha again,
00:44:24even though she wasn't the one Masachika concentrated on. Yuki then came up with a crazy idea,
00:44:29but Masachika refused it because it was too cultured. Refusing to give up, Yuki asked Ayano
00:44:33what she'd do, and the girl said she'd make the girls reveal their hidden desires. Yuki said she liked the
00:44:38idea, but decided to make them unrestrained instead. The sisters immediately approached Masachika,
00:44:43but somehow Alya also got head pats from Masha. When Masachika asked to be set free,
00:44:47Alya got up and began undressing, and Masha joined her. Panicked, Masachika and Yuki tried to undo the
00:44:52hypnosis, but it didn't work, and that just made this worse. Fortunately, Chisaki walked in and came
00:44:57to their rescue after they explained what happened. When the sisters eventually woke up, they were surprised
00:45:01to find themselves on the couch, and even more so when they realized they were half-dressed. So,
00:45:05Chisaki decided to beat Masachika up. That night, as Masachika tried to get some extra reading done,
00:45:10he found it hard to concentrate and wondered when he had fallen off the wagon. Because in the past,
00:45:14he used to love reading, but now his brain was too busy playing peekaboo. Just then,
00:45:18Alya called to check on him because she knew solo study sessions weren't his thing.
00:45:22Masachika admitted his struggle to remain focused, so she decided to motivate him. She said that if he
00:45:27made it to the top 30 after the exams, she would do whatever he wanted. However, if he didn't make
00:45:31it,
00:45:31he would do whatever she wanted. A part of Masachika wanted to see the kind of things she would make
00:45:36him
00:45:36do, but he quickly cautioned himself and apologized. Amused, Alya whispered something about his given
00:45:41name in Russian and then told him it was a clue. He pointed out that she'd spoken Russian, and she
00:45:45just laughed and asked if they had a deal. Masachika told her that she would regret making the deal with
00:45:50him, but Alya told him to try his luck. This made him whine that she was stressing out his big
00:45:54brother
00:45:54because he'd expected her to be scared or worried. Alya reminded him that they were the same age,
00:45:58but he argued that his birthday came first, so he was older. He then thanked her for checking
00:46:02on him and hung up, feeling much better. However, Alya felt like a fraud because she'd actually called
00:46:07after getting scared by a horror movie. Trying to brush it off, she began sulking that he didn't
00:46:12tell her about his birthday until it passed. Five days later, they finished their exams and Masachika
00:46:16offered to walk home with Alya to talk about the closing ceremony. However, as they walked,
00:46:20he noticed that she was unusually quiet, which was something she'd been doing since they had that phone call.
00:46:24When he confronted her about it, Alya grew shy and started playing with her hair because she
00:46:29hadn't expected him to notice. She then asked why he hadn't told her about his birthday or even
00:46:33invited her to the party. Masachika said he didn't have a party and started teasing her,
00:46:37saying he hadn't known she wanted to spend so much time with him. Alya told him not to flatter himself
00:46:41and explained that in Russia, if someone excluded you from their birthday party, it meant they wanted
00:46:45nothing to do with you. Masachika didn't believe her, but said he didn't mind having a party with just
00:46:49the two of them. So, on their next day off, the two met somewhere in town, and as they walked,
00:46:54Masachika noticed that people were staring at them. He couldn't blame them since the girl had won in
00:46:58the looks department. When he pointed out the stares, Alya said it wasn't her fault that she was a baddie.
00:47:03Those who dared to hit on her eventually left in disappointment because she always rambled in
00:47:07Russian until they got tired. Masachika felt relieved to hear this because, for a second,
00:47:11he had worried that she might get physical with her unwanted admirers. When he mentioned it,
00:47:15she asked why he sounded like a possessive boyfriend, and he explained that he just liked
00:47:18to act that way on dates. At the mention of the word date, Alya grew shy and said in Russian
00:47:23that
00:47:23it was her first date. Masachika called Cap because he wasn't about to believe that Alya hadn't been on
00:47:27a date before. Soon, they arrived at the restaurant, and while waiting for their orders, Masachika gave
00:47:32her a rundown of how the closing ceremony would go. Each presidential candidate and their running mate
00:47:37would give a speech, and at the end, the pair that received the most applause was most likely to win
00:47:41the
00:47:41election. In some cases, some candidates weren't even applauded, and that was enough to make them
00:47:45lose hope. He told her that Yuki was the fan favorite at the moment, so their chances of getting
00:47:50applauded were very slim. He proposed that they give their speech first, so that if Yuki showed them
00:47:54up, they had an excuse, unlike Sayaka. Just then, the waiter brought their order over so they paused
00:47:59their conversation to focus on the food. Mid-meal, Alya asked Masachika whether he was the one who
00:48:04started the rumor about Nonoa. Masachika explained that Nonoa had started it herself to stop them from
00:48:08bad-mouthing Sayaka. Alya felt bad, but thanked Masachika for fulfilling her wish to help Sayaka.
00:48:13Her sudden change made him a bit flustered, and Alya decided it was time to mess with him.
00:48:17She first teased him about his red cheeks, then said she wanted to reward him for being a good
00:48:21friend. His reward was a piece of steak from her fork, and even though Masachika panicked,
00:48:25he still ate it, then waited for her to freak out because his lips had touched her fork. However,
00:48:29Alya didn't do that and went back to eating as if nothing had happened, making him realize that the
00:48:33girl had mastered the art of being a tease. After their meal, she gave him a mug, and Masachika
00:48:38commented that it looked like one half of those couple's mugs he'd seen. Alya smirked and told
00:48:42him that the mug was actually a pair, and that she was already using the other one. Masachika
00:48:46instantly froze, but when she started smiling, he realized that he'd been played again. The
00:48:50following week, the council president informed the council members that the school had approved
00:48:54the summer uniforms. He also said it was thanks to Sarashina's hard work, but she disagreed and
00:48:59somehow the moment turned romantic. Fortunately, the others were saved from watching them by Masha,
00:49:03who brought them tea. However, Masachika noticed that Masha seemed to be avoiding him,
00:49:07so when she went to clean up, he accompanied her. She still tried to avoid him, so he apologized for
00:49:12the hypnosis thing. Masha said she was to blame, but then asked if she'd done anything weird when
00:49:16she was under hypnosis. Masachika told her what she did, and she was genuinely surprised because
00:49:20she'd expected that she'd done some embarrassing stuff. However, when she remembered that he'd seen
00:49:24her half-dressed, she pulled his cheeks and told him to apologize, which he did. She eventually had to
00:49:28leave and asked him to finish things up for her. When he returned to the council room, he found Yuki,
00:49:32and when the girls started acting weird again, he told her he was going to call their grandfather.
00:49:37Yuki immediately latched onto him and begged him not to go. She said she was only acting that way
00:49:42because he'd been ignoring her. When he acknowledged that fact, she got on the table and started sulking
00:49:46and said she wouldn't get up until he spoiled her. Masachika agreed, but when he attempted to play her
00:49:50game, she started laughing. So he gave up, and at that moment, he got a call from his other grandpa.
00:49:55When he went out to meet the man, he was surprised to find him dressed like a mafioso,
00:49:58and even when he complained, the man didn't care. While they waited their turn for the parent-teacher
00:50:02meeting, Alia walked out of the classroom, and the old man immediately lost it. Worst of all,
00:50:07while Masachika was making polite conversation with Alia's mother, the old man tried to riz Alia up
00:50:11on his behalf. Later, after Masachika and his grandfather left his teacher, they ran into his
00:50:16mother and Yuki in the hallway, and things got awkward. That night, he dreamt about how hard he tried
00:50:20to impress his mother while growing up, but the woman never acknowledged him. The only time she ever did
00:50:24was to scold him, and that left a lasting effect. Suddenly, he jerked awake and realized he had a
00:50:28fever. Later that day, Alia came to see him, and explained that Yuki had told her about his condition.
00:50:33Alia tried to get her to leave, but the girl insisted that she must play nurse, so Luza let
00:50:37her come in. When she walked into his room, he noticed she was looking around, so he told her,
00:50:40to relax and assured her that he wouldn't jump her like some degenerate. Alia claimed she wasn't
00:50:45worried about that, but said in Russian that his room smelled all manly. She then went to the
00:50:49kitchen to prepare the meal, glad to see that he was using her gift. A little while later,
00:50:52she brought him the porridge, and he told her she looked good cosplaying as a waifu. While he ate,
00:50:57she asked about his parents, and he told her that his father was at work. When she learned that he
00:51:00didn't have a mother, she felt bad, but tried not to let it show. Once he was done eating and
00:51:05taking
00:51:05his medicine, he told Alia that she could go home, but she said she would study in the living room
00:51:09so
00:51:09she could watch over him. A few hours later, it was nighttime, and Masachika was sure Alia had gone home.
00:51:15However, he was surprised to find her facing off against Ayano, who was dressed in the shortest
00:51:19maid outfit he had ever seen. Ayano quickly went to him and, as she held him like a concerned
00:51:23girlfriend, told Alia she would stay and take care of him. When Alia tried to argue again,
00:51:28Ayano reminded her that she had to prepare for the next day, so Alia backed down and agreed to leave.
00:51:32A few minutes after she left, Ayano served Masachika dinner. After he ate and took his medicine,
00:51:37he returned to his room. Ayano offered to wipe his body, but Masachika told her he didn't need it,
00:51:41and got into bed. The girl sat there, staring at him. Uncomfortable with the staring,
00:51:45he ordered her to return home, and she surprisingly complied. The next day, when he woke up, he found
00:51:50Ayano cleaning and asked why she'd skipped school. She told him that his health was more important than
00:51:55her report card and asked him to sit while she prepared lunch. When it was ready, she brought
00:51:58it over with his medicine. But Masachika suddenly felt uneasy about the drugs, so he asked Ayano to
00:52:03bring the pack and confirmed that one of the side effects was excessive sleep. Ayano apologized for not
00:52:08checking the medicine before giving it to him, but Masachika had already figured out that Yuki had set
00:52:12everything up. Because of that, he said he was going to school and ignored Ayano, who told him
00:52:16that it was already too late. When he arrived there, some students passed him in the hallway,
00:52:20talking about Alia. Masachika immediately assumed the worst, and when he got to class,
00:52:24he found Alia sitting alone and looking depressed. When she saw him, she started apologizing and saying
00:52:29she'd destroyed everything they had built. The previous day, after Yuki informed her about Masachika's
00:52:34illness and gave her his address in the medicine, she invited Alia to join the council broadcast the
00:52:38next day. She said Alia could talk about the debate, but Alia told her she didn't feel comfortable
00:52:43discussing her win. At this, Yuki said it was a shame that she and Masachika were refusing to
00:52:47milk the situation for all it was worth. The next moment, she stopped acting all nice and sweet and
00:52:51told Alia that she was too trusting for her own good. This made Alia realize that Yuki was plotting
00:52:55something for the broadcast, and Yuki confirmed it. She said she would like to see how well Alia could
00:53:00handle the pressure without Masachika and his planter brain. Alia assured her that she didn't need
00:53:04Masachika, and Yuki told her to prove it. Alia explained to Masachika that she had spent the
00:53:09entire night preparing for whatever Yuki had planned. But when it was time for the broadcast,
00:53:13Yuki flipped the script and suddenly apologized to her. She acknowledged that her method had been
00:53:17underhanded and that she didn't want it to affect their friendship. Caught off guard, Alia accepted her
00:53:22apology, but Yuki said she wanted her to understand why she was desperate to win the election. When Alia gave
00:53:27her the go-ahead, Yuki told her about her genius brother whom their entire family doted on. They had high
00:53:32expectations of him, but he never got to fulfill them before leaving, so the pressure shifted to
00:53:37her. Alia's initial shock couldn't even compare to the one she got after this revelation. So when
00:53:42Yuki asked what was motivating her to become student council president, she couldn't respond.
00:53:46And when the broadcast kicked off, Alia's mind was all over the place, so she kept stuttering and zoning
00:53:51out. Back in the present, Masachika acknowledged his sister's ruthlessness. So when Alia began
00:53:56bad-mouthing herself and getting all emotional, he clapped his hands to get her attention. He then
00:54:00explained that Yuki had set everything up to mess with her and throw her off her game before the
00:54:05closing ceremony. Realizing that he was right, Alia sighed with relief and turned to thank Masachika,
00:54:10only to find him smiling evilly. The funny thing was that he hadn't even realized it,
00:54:14so when Alia pointed it out, he laughed and commended Yuki's strategy. Seeing him in his
00:54:19semi-villian arc made Alia feel some way, so she mumbled in Russian that evil Masachika looked hot.
00:54:24Eventually, she admitted that even though she and Yuki had been messing with her,
00:54:28she still didn't have a clear reason for wanting to become council president.
00:54:31When she began spiraling, Masachika knelt before her and told her that it didn't matter that she
00:54:36didn't have some grand ambition. What mattered was that she was willing to try no matter what.
00:54:40He also said something else heartwarming, and when he finished, Alia told him that if anyone heard him,
00:54:45they would think he was professing his love to her. Immediately, Masachika started complaining,
00:54:49but when he calmed down, Alia thanked him for helping her regain her confidence.
00:54:52She then told him that there was no need to compare herself to Yuki, and Masachika gave an
00:54:57acknowledging nod. However, when she mentioned Yuki inheriting her dead brother's will, Masachika
00:55:01almost screamed because his sister was testing his last patience. Just then, Nonoa and Sayaka walked
00:55:06in, and while Nonoa took a seat, Sayaka remained standing. She then apologized for the way she treated
00:55:11them, and Nonoa apologized for not stopping her and for planting people at the debate. Alia said they were
00:55:16forgiven, so Sayaka asked why she hadn't talked about the debate during the broadcast. Alia answered that
00:55:21she didn't want to brag when she had done nothing, and Sayaka acknowledged her pride. However,
00:55:26she said she was also prideful and would ensure that she set things right. When she tried to leave,
00:55:30Masachika stopped her and said that if she really wanted to atone for her sins, she would help them.
00:55:35He then explained his plan to the three girls, and after they agreed, Masachika declared that it was
00:55:39time to go band for band with Yuki. To ensure their plan went smoothly, Masachika had Alia practice her
00:55:44closing ceremony speech the next day, and she did pretty well. The only problem was that she didn't feel
00:55:49confident enough, and asked Masachika to teach her how to engage the crowd, as he did during the
00:55:53debate. Masachika bragged that he was a born crowd controller, but said he had a trick that could help
00:55:58her break the ice. Before he could tell her what it was, Yuki and Ayano arrived. Masachika greeted them
00:56:03normally, but Yuki teasingly asked why he looked like an angry bird. Masachika told her to fix the cracks
00:56:08in her mask, and when she laughed, he addressed Alia saying, Yuki was a wolf in sheep's clothing. At this,
00:56:14Yuki asked Alia whether she was disappointed in her. Alia told her that there wasn't any need
00:56:18for her to be, because people reacted differently in different situations. She then asked if Yuki
00:56:23had been serious about wanting to remain friends, and when Yuki confirmed it, she thanked her for
00:56:27allowing her to take stock of herself. Yuki hadn't expected that statement, and was equally shocked
00:56:32when Alia said she would answer her question about why she wanted to become council president
00:56:36at the closing ceremony. However, she covered it up by saying that Alia was a fascinating person.
00:56:42Masachika then said he was glad that their friendship wasn't affected, but he sounded pissed,
00:56:46so Yuki asked if he was mad at her. Masachika assured her that he wasn't,
00:56:49but likened her to a disobedient dog he wanted to punish. He sounded so serious when he said this
00:56:54that Yuki began sweating. Fortunately, she was saved from his cold stare when the other council
00:56:59members walked in. Kanzaki said they needed to run through the ceremony, and once they finished,
00:57:03he asked which pair would give their speech first. Yuki suggested a coin toss to decide the winner,
00:57:08so Masha volunteered to be the coin tosser. They agreed that Alia would guess which side was up,
00:57:13and if she got it wrong, then Yuki would choose which pair went first. After he said this, Masha
00:57:18tossed the coin, and while it was still mid-air, Yuki couldn't help but wonder what game Masachika
00:57:22was playing by trying to intimidate her earlier. When the coin came down, Masha caught it, and Alia
00:57:27guessed heads. Unfortunately, when they checked, it was tails, so Yuki was given the floor. She took her
00:57:32precious time thinking things through because she knew Masachika was up to something. However, when she
00:57:37remembered that Alia was her main opponent, she relaxed and said she would go first. The next day,
00:57:42during the closing ceremony, things went smoothly, and after the student council executives gave their
00:57:46speeches, the floor was open for the presidential candidates. Yuki confidently approached the podium
00:57:51and, with the zeal of an experienced politician, began her speech. She interacted so well with the
00:57:55crowd, then pulled out a suggestion box, telling them that during her tenure, she wanted them to use
00:58:00it properly. She assured them that their voices would be heard and promised to fight for the things they
00:58:05all deserved. As for her closing remark, she talked about the fact that she'd already held such a
00:58:09position in the past and assured them that they wouldn't be making a mistake if they voted her in.
00:58:13As expected, the students applauded her loudly, with a few even giving her a standing ovation,
00:58:18but Masachika told Kanzaki that she'd said a lot without actually saying anything.
00:58:23Kanzaki agreed, but also admitted that her speech had been very masterful and well delivered.
00:58:27On the other side, Alia asked Masha to leave her alone so she could calm herself. Just then,
00:58:32Ayano walked up to the podium and most of the students were surprised because they had never
00:58:36seen her before. Ayano then gave her speech, which was mostly a dedicated hype about Yuki,
00:58:40and when she finished, she was applauded as well. The buzz remained even after she walked away,
00:58:45so no one paid attention to Alia when she took the stand until she started speaking Russian.
00:58:49This was Masachika's master plan, as he had predicted what would happen after Yuki and Ayano
00:58:54gave their speeches. When Alia saw that she finally had their attention, she switched to Japanese and
00:58:58apologized, explaining that her nerves had made her switch languages. This made the students laugh,
00:59:03so she started her speech again and spoke from the heart. Unlike Yuki, she didn't make promises or
00:59:08boast of achievements. Instead, she talked about her capabilities and her willingness to work hard,
00:59:12if elected. As she rounded out her speech, the applause started slow, but eventually everyone joined
00:59:16in. Masachika then took her place and started his speech with a bad joke, which the students still
00:59:21laughed at. But then he revealed that he'd worked as Yuki's vice president in the past and had left her,
00:59:25because he'd been drawn to Alia's sincerity and dedication. He wanted to support her pursuits,
00:59:31and hoped that they would do the same. For his closing remark, he announced that if Alia were
00:59:35elected, Nonoa and Sayaka would join her student council as officers. Everyone was shocked, especially
00:59:40Yuki, because she'd underestimated her brother's craftiness. As the girls joined him on stage,
00:59:45the applause intensified, and when they bowed, Masachika told Alia that she made the applause happen.
00:59:50Later, Sayaka told Masachika and Alia that they were now even, but said she wouldn't participate
00:59:54in their campaign. Alia told her it was fine and promised to work hard to earn her approval.
00:59:58After she and Nono walked away, Alia turned to look at Yuki, silently asking if she had heard her
01:00:03answer. Yuki then admitted to Ayano that she had underestimated their opponents and accepted her
01:00:07defeat. However, she said she wouldn't lose the war, and Ayano told her that she was finally giving
01:00:12off boss vibes, which wasn't what she wanted to hear. A little later, Alia and Masachika checked their
01:00:17results, and Masachika said everything would have been better if he had hit his goal and made the top 30.
01:00:22Alia told him it was fine, and as they walked to their lockers, he asked what she wanted him to
01:00:26do,
01:00:26now that he had lost the bet. Alia said she still had to think about it, but admitted in Russian
01:00:31that
01:00:31she hadn't expected him to lose. Because of that, when they reached their lockers, Masachika told her
01:00:36she could call him by his first name. He'd already figured out that that was what she wanted, and when
01:00:40she finally said his name, the two started acting all awkward and shy. Eventually, they walked outside,
01:00:45but Masachika suddenly stopped and asked if she'd like to hang out during the holiday,
01:00:48claiming it was so they could strategize. Alia walked up to him, and after asking him to look
01:00:53at her in Russian, smiled brightly and told him she'd love to. Who do you think would win the
01:00:58Sase election, and would Alia ever learn the truth about Masachika and Yuki's relationship?
