Aharen-san wa hakarenai (2022) s01e02 Episode Script

You're being followed, right?

1
Upon starting high school,
the first friend I made was the girl
who sits next to me, Aharen-san.
There were some distance issues early on,
which made things kind of awkward
But lately, I feel like I
understand her a little better.
Oh, Aharen-san.
Good morning?
Episode Two Are We Being Followed?
What the heck happened to Aharen-san?
Was she in a fight?
Did she get ambushed by guys
from another school on her way here?!
She's even closer than normal
Am I next?
I'm sorry. Are you okay?
Oh, I'm okay. It didn't hurt.
But what happened to you?
I got something in my eye.
And since I had one eye shut,
it was hard to gauge distances
So no street brawl with punks, then.
I've got some eye drops. Help yourself.
Can you put them in yourself?
Okay, Aharen-san, let me do it.
Before it's all gone.
Sorry. I'm no good with eye drops.
I get you. Go ahead and sit down.
Okay, here we go.
Um, Aharen-san
Open your eye.
Pardon me.
Hold still now, Aharen-san.
Is she scared of the eye drops?
This calls for desperate measures.
Squish
Don't move now, Aharen-san.
I should get the dropper
as close as possible
And squeeze it at the absolute last second.
But I've gotta be careful not
to actually touch her eye
Um could you hurry it up, please?
Oh, sorry.
Well? Did that get it out?
Hmm? What'd you say?
Um, it's kind of embarrassing
to have your face so close.
Oh! Sorry.
She normally gets plenty
close herself, though.
Shirorin!
You want to thank me?
Don't sweat it. It was no big deal.
I'm good for lunch.
I think I got something in my eye
Let me return the favor for you.
Okay. Just be gentle.
Uh could we maybe not do this instead?
Aharen-san.
Wake up. We've gotta
switch rooms for the next class.
Am I just imagining things?
You don't need to pull, Aharen-san.
We won't be late, even if we walk normally.
Is someone following us?
I feel like I'm being watched lately
Could it be a hitman?!
No way. Have I ever done anything to make
someone hold that kind of grudge against me?
Surefire Raido Shot!
Oh, crap
Man, I'm already stuffed.
I'll just leave the bread in this desk.
That was my pudding!
You're awful, Nii-chan!
I can't believe I'm such a monster.
Well since yesterday, I've had
the feeling someone's watching me.
A-Aharen-san
Yeah! It's okay. I feel better now.
S-So you can
That can't just be my imagination!
She's way bigger than me!
And ready to strike!
No good! I'm done for!
Oshiro-san
You know her?
Shirorin!
It's okay now. I've calmed down.
So, why were you—
There, there. He's not scary.
Talk about high strung
R-Reina-chan
I mean, p-please stop trying
to menace Aharen-san!
She's so small and cute that bad guys
will obviously try and prey on her!
A-And as her childhood friend,
it's my job to protect her!
So she's watching over you.
In elementary and middle school,
I was always there to protect Reina-chan
So she's a stalker, huh?
But I've been so scared of you
that I couldn't bring myself to step in!
So scared of you
scared scared scared
SCARED
SCARED
SCARED
SCARED
There, there. You're not scary.
Don't, Reina-chan!
You can't get near bad guys like him!
Raido-kun's not scary.
And he's not a bad guy.
I-I-I'm I'm sorry.
But now that he's
entrapped you this much
Entrapped?
I'll just have to I'll just have to
You'll just have to what?
I-I'll have to maintain a safe distance
while continuing to keep watch from afar!
This is rough in its own way.
Good morning, Aharen-san.
You sick?
Are you gonna be okay?
Make sure to take it easy.
What is it? What's wrong, Aharen-san?
I can't even hear you this close now.
Did the cold mess your throat up?
I'm sorry, Aharen-san. Class is starting,
so we'd better settle down.
Okay, let's continue where
we left off yesterday.
I wonder what was up
with Aharen-san just now.
She was suddenly a lot
more energetic than usual
Of course!
She's feeling motivated.
Aharen-san must be all fired up today.
Okay, in that case, I had better keep up!
Who'd like to volunteer
to come up and solve this?
Okay, Aharen.
Yep, that's correct.
I'm curious What's the drawing for?
Aharen-san is really on fire today.
She's got me beat!
We'll be doing figure sketches today.
Figure sketching
Which means we're going
to need a model Any takers?
Okay, this time
A-Aharen-san?
Ah, looks like we've got two models ready to go!
Let's have you model together, then.
Shirorin!
I'm going to return your tests now.
Raido.
Coming.
Because we're friends
This will be our topic of discussion for the day.
Raido.
Right.
Because we're friends
I've changed as a person.
But even so, it isn't always
obvious when viewed
from the outside.
I believe there are things
that are hard to tell someone
because they're your friend.
Shirorin!
Okay, ready to head home?
You're even fired up about
walking home, huh, Aharen-san?
Uh, it's really hard to walk like this
Can't you walk next to me?
I see.
Aharen-san's seemed kind of different today.
She's been standing in front of me,
trying to get my attention
Could it be that she wants me
to notice something?
I get it now, Aharen-san.
I'm sorry that it took me all day to notice.
Aharen-san
You cut your hair, didn't you?
What's wrong, Aharen-san?
I'm back.
Welcome home, Nii-chan.
What was up with Aharen-san today?
If she didn't cut her hair, then
Nii-chan, your fly's open! You perv!
Is that what Aharen-san
was trying to tell me?
Uh Whoa, sorry.
I didn't think you'd take it so hard.
I guess Raido-kun isn't here today.
Which means
I can look after Reina-chan
as much as I want!
I always used to sit next to her
I can't help noticing it doesn't
look like she's heading home,
even though class is over.
I know! I bet she forgot her umbrella.
There!
Use mine, Reina-chan!
It's not a bomb, Reina-chan!
Yes! Take it!
No one lost it, Reina-chan!
The teacher gave my umbrella back
But how do I get Reina-chan to use it?
Huh? She's gone Is she in the bathroom?
This is my chance to leave it on her desk.

Rest in Peace
It's not a cursed umbrella that
comes back no matter what you do!
Seal
Seal
My umbrella!
What do I do?! Now I can't go home either!
She noticed me! I bet she's mad
and thinks I was pranking her!
She's coming after me!
She's really slow, though.
But
Little by little!
I'm being cornered!
What do I do?! There's nowhere to run now!
I know! I can hide on the roof!
Huh?! It's locked!
Sh-She's gonna yell at me!
S-So you had an umbrella, huh, Reina-chan?
I was trying to give you mine.
I'm sorry I got scared and ran off.
And I'm sorry you
have to hold it so high.
Are you okay? Is your arm tired?
I'm good.
She really doesn't seem like it!
U-Um, I can hold it.
You'll stay drier this way.
S-Sorry, Reina-chan.
I guess it's too high up with me.
I guess we'll just have to wait
for the rain to ease up.
Are you cold, Reina-chan?
I'm sorry I got you wet!
This is my spare sweater. Put it on.
I-It's kinda big, huh? I'm sorry.
I-Is she mad? Is this going to be like before?!
Corporal punishment?!
Thank you.
But you got wet because of me
You let me borrow your sweater.
And I'm always grateful.
Thanks for always walking home with us.
You're usually too far away to hear me.
I finally got to thank you.
I appreciate it.
Reina-chan
Oh no! Don't tell me
She actually knew I was
following her on the way home?!
The rain's stopped.
Hey, Raido.
You took yesterday off. What happened?
Oh, my heart was just
feeling a little creaky.
Rest in Peace
Seal
What in the world?
She's being even more
cautious than usual, huh?
Okay, you'll be black, Aharen-san.
First move's yours.
Sorry, Aharen-san.
I'm actually a Reversi super pro.
You're facing the Raido family's
undefeated ten-time champion.
I've never lost to my sister once.
I always leave her crying.
As much as I'd like to show mercy, this is war.
So I'm sorry, Aharen-san,
but I'm going to give this all I've got!
What is this aura?!
Is Aharen-san a pro too?!
Was that a divine move?!
She sucks!
How weird. She definitely had
the aura of a champion
Wait, don't tell me
Aharen-san, were you holding back?
You're a terrible liar, Aharen-san.
Why did you hold back?
I like this game a lot.
And when I get serious,
I get tunnel vision
So I tend to hold back out of habit.
Aharen-san, I
I'd rather lose than have you let me win!
This is supposed to be a contest.
I want you to come at me
with everything you've got.
I want to fight you
when you're being serious!
Are you sure?
I am, Aharen-san.
Come on. This time,
don't show me any mercy.
Let's go!
What a shame.
Looks like we're out of time.
We'll have to call it a draw for now
