My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex (2022) s01e05 Episode Script

Outdoor Education Guidebook
~Nagimi Middle School~
Looking back, I can only describe
it as a youthful indiscretion.
But from my second to third
year of middle school,
I had what you might call a girlfriend.
The Complete Works of Natsume Soseki
This was before that happened
U-Um Thank you for this afternoon.
This afternoon?
You know For splitting your
curry ingredients with me.
Oh, don't mention it.
The moon is beautiful, isn't it?
D-D-Did you W-W-Was that
I didn't mean it like that.
Back then, we weren't even acquaintances,
let alone close enough
to make lasting memories.
Just strangers who happened to cross paths.
But even so, I've never forgotten that night.

"You're Welcome"
What are you doing? It's time to go.

Huh? Go where?
To buy a present.
What for?
For Mother's Day!
Mother's Day?
You forgot? I reminded you a week ago!
I don't see why we need to go
buy a present together, though.
It'll make her think we're still getting along.
I thought you'd feel less awkward
if we gave her one together.
And we can split the cost this way, right?
That last one is the real reason, no?
It's the thought that counts, after all.
Not the price tag.
No thanks. Going shopping with
you isn't exactly my idea of fun.
At least let me spend my Sundays in peace.
Okay.

Hello, Mizuto-kun.

The Detective Is Already Dead
Goodness, how strange.
I'd have thought gawking at your sister
because she dolled up a bit
constituted breaking the rules,
dear little brother.
It's so crowded.
It's always like this on weekends.
I guess you wouldn't know
since you stay cooped up.
I stay cooped up because
I know it's like this.
M-My bad. Gimme a sec. I'll get off you.
Uh, no Stop.
W-We're just gonna end up this way
every time it wobbles anyway.
May as well get comfortable.
A-All right.
So, what kind of gift should we get Mom?
Let's see
As Seen On TV!
Diamond Coated
Lasts 10 million uses!
How about a frying pan?
She's a decent cook. Unlike someone.
Huh?
You do realize we already
have four at home, don't you?
Then something matching with Dad?
Couple's Mug Set
Like she'd want that.
She's not in middle school.
We Print Your Photos
Then
Capture Your Memories on a Plate
We Print Your Photos
Personalized dishware?
That's the absolute worst
thing we could get her.
Irido
Thanks for always being there, Mom.
This is your Mother's Day gift
from me and Mizuto-kun.
You always make our lunches in
the morning and so much more.
So we wanted to show our gratitude,
I guess you could say.
Thank you so much
You two are such good kids!
Mine-kun!
I never thought I'd ever get carnations! Ever!
I think we made her happy.
Yeah
Did you come to watch?
I'm sorry.
The door was open, so I was just curious
You said you didn't remember much
about your mother, right?
Well, she died when I was very little.
I only know her face from this picture.
I see.
What are you doing?
Supporting you.
I am your older sister today, after all.
I guess I signed up for this,
so I can't complain.
"If you're going to eat poison,
might as well lick the plate."
Did you just call me poison?
By the way, giving that
present today got me thinking.
This would be for both of our parents, but
I was wondering if we could give them
some alone time somehow.
Alone time?
They're newlyweds,
but they barely get to spend
any time as a couple, don't you think?
I bet they're just trying
to be considerate of us.
I'm impressed.
I didn't think you were capable
of such noble consideration.
Just how little do you think of me?
Well, we could pay for them
to eat out or go travel somewhere.
But that's way out of budget
with our allowance.
Then let's think of it a different way.
How about we go stay
overnight somewhere instead?
Huh?
Hold it! Why would we do that?
Why? We want to give
our parents time alone, right?
They deserve more than
just a few hours, don't you think?
You're right.
B-But a boy and a girl
staying somewhere overnight
Don't tell me you think
we'll be staying together.
Huh? We're not?
Please
Internet cafes only allow couples
18 and up to stay the night.
And we'd need parental permission
to stay at a hotel or an inn.
R-Right
Well, there is one place that'd let
two high schoolers stay the night.
There is? Where?
A love hotel.
A A l-l-love love
Apparently we can stay as long
as they don't figure out our ages.
You in?
O-O-Of course I'm not!
I figured.
The rates were a little pricey
when I checked earlier anyway.
So you planned on us spending the
night together if they weren't?!
As a last resort.
A last resort?
Now I'm definitely not in!
Irido
About our conversation yesterday
I was able to secure a place for us to stay.
I'd like to give my parents some alone time.
Could you help us out?
Read
Kawanami
Sure thing. You can stay at my place
if you want.
Kawanami
And Irido-san can stay at Minami's!
She lives right next door, so you'll
have less to worry about, right?
See you next Saturday, then!
Next door?
I'd like to give my parents some alone time.
Could you help us out?

Kawanami
Sure thing. You can stay at my place
if you want.
Yeah, I was surprised too.
I had no idea those two
were next-door neighbors.
My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex
It was your idea for both of you
to stay over, right, Irido-kun?
I gotta thank you.
Spending the night with Yume-chan,
just the two of us
It's like a dream come true!
Remember to behave yourself, Minami-san.
Don't you worry!
All right, let the man go already.
Don't you see you're treading in
boys-only territory here?
"Boys-only"? Get over yourself.
Aren't you forgetting something?
Like what?
Your little princess over there
is getting lonely.
I'm sorry!
I promise never to leave your
side ever again, Yume-chan!
That's all right, Akatsuki-san.
Let's leave my little brother
over there and hurry inside.
All right, Kawanami.
This is a girls-only zone, so don't
even think about bothering us.
You don't have to tell me.
There's no way I'd set foot in your place.
Say, Akatsuki-san
What exactly is your relationship
with Kawanami-kun?
Oh, nothing you need to worry about, really.
We're next-door neighbors
who just happen to have hung out with
each other since elementary school.
So you're childhood friends.
That title is reserved for people
who remain close, in the present tense.
You two seem pretty close to me.
The word "astronomical" doesn't
even begin to describe
the distance between me and her.
And yet
Kawanami
as for the physical distance between you
Minami
you're next-door neighbors.
That must be hell on earth.
Damn straight.
Looks like you've got a lot going on.
Well, I'll be the last person
to pry into someone else's business.
That's great, 'cause I'll be the first.
So, how far have you gone with Irido-san?
Have some decency, would you?
I'll be blunt.
Have you ever seen her boobs?
Give me a break!
Even if I had, you think I'd tell you that?
Interesting
Very interesting!
So Yume's boobs are for your eyes only.
Is what you're saying, right, Irido?!
Stop, Yume-chan! Stop!
Between your hands and that wall,
it's only a matter of time before one gives out!
August 15th (Sat)
Irido Yume
Pervert!
Irido Yume
Pervert!!
Irido Yume
Pervert!!!
Irido Yume

Did I not tell you the walls here
were paper thin?!
Let me be clear, Kawanami.
There's no way I'm taking this lying down.
Hey!
Hey!
When I Grow Up
by Kawanami Kogure
When I grow up, I want to be a police officer.
I'll become a strong policeman. That way
I can marry Akatsuki-chan and always keep her safe.
"When I Grow Up," huh? What a lovely title.
N-Not that!
Anything but that, Irido!
"When I Grow Up," by Kawanami Kogure.
"When I grow up,
I want to be a police officer."
"I'll become a strong policeman. That way"
D-Don't say it!
"I can marry Akatsuki-chan
and always keep her safe."
Wait! Stop, Akatsuki-san! Stop!
Something cracked!
I swear I heard something crack!
Kawanami!
Try to calm down!
I told you to throw that out, didn't I?!
Knock it off already!
Now Yume-chan of all people heard it!
You think I wanted this?!
It's your fault for making stupid
jokes in the first place, dummy!
Shut it, dingus!
Did no one ever tell you to treat others
the way you want to be treated?
And you're telling me you two aren't close?
Dang it.
I forgot Kawanami likes to come here too!
There goes my one-on-one
dinner date with Yume-chan.
You call eating at a dirt-cheap
family restaurant a dinner date?

Plus, you can share it with everyone!
I get a strong feeling they
come here together often
Like true childhood friends.
Childhood friends?!
Like I'd be caught dead with this idiot!
You guys aren't
doing this on purpose, right?
Melon Flavor Contains no juice
Orange Squash
Orange
10% Fruit Juice
Are you sure that's the right choice?
I suppose you wouldn't know how
to use a drink fountain, would you?
Given your lack of friends, what occasion
have you to visit a restaurant like this?
I could say the same to you.
Allow me to demonstrate.
Refreshing White Grape
20% Fruit Juice
You watching?
Orange
10% Fruit Juice
When using the drink fountain,
Melon Flavor Contains no juice
one is supposed to mix
the drinks together like so
and create one's own unique blend.
Are you for real?
Now it's your turn to try.
Let your heart lead the way.
Bring it on!
Sorry, Yume-chan!
I wasn't serious when I said
to mix the drinks at the fountain.
It was a joke!
Are you serious right now?
Looks like you got Mizuto fooled too!
Wow, like peas in a pod!
It's almost like you two are siblings!
Like you two bosom buddies can talk!
That was great!
Say, Irido-kun.
You're good at Japanese, right?
Mind tutoring me later?
Midterms are coming up, you know?
Is the snuggling necessary?
I gotta make Yume-chan so jealous that
she begs me to snuggle up to her instead.
That's just plain dirty.
If you need a tutor,
you should ask her instead.
Me?
Yeah. You're better suited
to teaching than I'll ever be.
So dedicated to your studies.
How smart of you to notice.
Of course!
You actually have to work hard to succeed,
whereas I attain good grades
with very little effort.
I'd hardly be an effective tutor.
What's your problem?!
Is it your life's work to piss me off?!
Touché, Irido-kun.
Didn't think you'd take advantage of
the situation to one-up me like that.
All Irido's been doing is studying for midterms.
I'm so bored! So much for "very little effort"

Akatsuki
Huh? Aren't you studying too, Kawanami?
Me and Yume-chan are
Yume
Kawanami-kun, we don't go to just any old school.
Think back on how hard the entrance exam was
Say, Irido
How hard do you think exams are
Hard.
So hard that someone like me, who prides
himself on not trying, actually has to try.
For real?
For real.
So the freedom I was promised
after I got in was all a lie!
Well, I suppose you don't have to try
if you're okay with any old passing grade.
Huh?
So why are you studying so hard, Irido?
I can't go losing to my little sister, can I?
You two are something else.
I've never felt compelled to
face off with someone like that.
Really?
From what I saw today, you two
seemed pretty competitive to me.
But we're too concerned about appearances
to butt heads as openly as you do.
I'm exhausted just thinking
about keeping that up.
The way I see it, at least you
two have some sense of decorum.
The grass is always greener
on the other side, I guess.
Look at you, spouting proverbs.
And you were worried about studying.
When life gives you lemons,
make lemonade, right?
Now that I think about it,
it might be nice to do better than Minami.
That's the spirit. You got this.
That was your invitation
to tutor me, Mr. Smartypants!
In case of emergency, break this wall and
escape through the neighboring apartment
In case of emergency, break this wall and
escape through the neighboring apartment
Are you really that embarrassed
I caught you standing there gaping?
Do you really have to state the obvious?!
I never knew you were into
wearing such cutesy pajamas.
It must be tough holding back with me around.
I'm only wearing this because
Akatsuki-san forced me to!
It's okay, it's okay. I think it's cute.
In a dorky way.
I heard that!
The moon is beautiful, isn't it?
You remember? That time on the school trip?
Like I could forget.
Not after somebody dared
to use such a pretentious come-on.
It's bad form to harp on a
man's youthful indiscretions.
What would you do if I told you
that's when I started liking you?
There'd be no point.
What would it change?
You're right.
I wouldn't call what I felt
back then "liking you" anyway.
But you did feel something?
Forget I said anything.
Why bring that up all of a sudden anyway?
No reason.
It's just Akatsuki-san and Kawanami-kun
today had me thinking.
I wonder if there's meaning in all
that time they've spent together.
All that time, huh?
I'm sure those two would have
things to say about that.
It's not like you and I have to go out of
our way to spend time together anyway.
As long as our parents stay together, that is.
You think they'll ever split up?
Not really.
I think we're stuck as stepsiblings
until the end of time.
Kinda sucks, doesn't it?
You're telling me.
Did you have fun today?
Yeah, thanks.
You're welcome.
