Aharen-san wa hakarenai (2022) s01e07 Episode Script

A Work of Art, Isn't It

1
Ready to eat, Aharen-san?
Aharen-san, did you
forget your lunch?
Are you okay, Aharen-san?!
I made it, but left it at home
That's a shame.
I'm going to the school store.
Wait for me.
The school store?
You can't, Aharen-san!
The school store
It's a den of brutality!
A place of pure pandemonium where
the frenzied scrap over every last morsel!
It's too dangerous to brave!
I can't let Aharen-san face it alone!
School Store
Ma'am, I need a rice ball!
Episode Seven A Work of Art, Isn't It?
The yakiniku lunch!
Fried chicken!
Buns, buns, buns!
It's as crowded as I figured
I'm gonna go ahead.
Huh? Are you sure?
Maybe Aharen-san can see it somehow
A shining road available
to only her, with her tiny body,
between all those people!
You okay, Aharen-san?
So much for that idea.
Let's wait until the crowd thins out.
The lunches are gonna sell out
It's true they'll run out
of lunches at this rate,
leaving only buns behind.
Aharen-san needs rice for fuel.
And there's only one way
she can clear this mob.
Aharen-san
Let's do it.
You holding on tight?
Then here we go.
Excuse me. Let us through, please.
There. Okay, Aharen-san,
go ahead and order.
Ma'am, I need one of these!
I'll take a bun!
A seaweed lunch here, please!
No one can hear her order, huh?
There's no way around it.
Let's pull back and rethink this.
I'll take a yakisoba roll!
A cutlet sandwich for me!
I got pushed out!
Aharen-san!
Is that
Could it be?!
She's crowd surfing!
Like at concerts where
you slide across a mass of people!
Okay, what can I get you?
Aharen-san
Whoa!
How'd it go? Did you get something?
The lunches were sold out already.
All I could get was this melon bun.
I see. That's too bad.
Will that be enough for you?
S'okay
Doesn't seem that way to me at all.
Shirorin!
It's come to this, Aharen-san.
Here.
What?
Let's trade. My lunch for that melon bun.
But then you won't have enough to eat.
It's okay. I'm not that hungry.
And you're always sharing your lunch with me.
Think of it as returning the favor.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Then let's trade.
Okay, let's head to the roof.
Let's take a shortcut using the walkway
No way! How?!
Why is the beast from
Aharen-san's house at school?!
He delivered my lunch.
H-He did? Good for you.
Thanks, Nui. Run on home.
That dog is pretty smart, huh?
I've got lunch now,
but is it okay if we still trade?
Of course it is.
Melon Bun
Thank you for the meal.
I know this is belated
But Aharen-san's lunches
sure are big, aren't they?
I am totally stuffed.
Hey, Raido.
Ishikawa?
What's wrong? You got an upset stomach?
No, not exactly.
There's still time before class.
Care to join us?
Sato-san had playing cards with her.
It's more fun with a group anyway.
Let's play old maid, then.
Sounds good!
I'll deal the cards out.
Oh, thanks.
Sorry, gang, but I'm pretty confident
when it comes to old maid.
It might look like a game of luck
or negotiation at first,
but there's a a surefire
strategy to winning.
And the bottom line is
you were all under my spell
before I even started dealing!
It's said that if you end up
with an even number of cards left,
you're twice as likely
to win a round in old maid.
Even
The reason being, if you have
an even number of cards,
Two different cards
to pair with
you have two chances to make a pair.
Odd
Whereas with an odd hand,
you only have the one.
Only one card
to pair with
Three of us will get thirteen cards,
and one of us fourteen.
Since fewer to start is better,
I'll make sure I get thirteen.
The First Key to Victory
The first key to victory!
I casually suggest
Okay, since I dealt the cards,
why don't you go first
and draw from me, Sato-san?
I have someone else draw first,
ensuring I have an even number of cards.
Good! It worked perfectly.
Now the stage is set. Let the game begin!
I'm out.
Wow!
You're out already?
Old maid's a game of luck, huh?
And I'm out!
Me, too!
Still, there's more than one way to win
Okay, let's start the next round.
You can't depend on luck.
The second key to victory!
The Second Key to Victory
I draw the card Aharen-san picks.
If it doesn't make a pair for her,
it has to for either me or Sato-san.
Here we go!
She got the old maid, huh?
Aharen-san usually has a poker face,
but at times like this, she's easy to read.
Let's avoid the obvious bait
and choose another card
Wait, no! Think about this carefully.
Aharen-san is constantly
getting the better of me.
YANKEERAS
\h\h\h\hRAIDO\h\h\h\h
\h\h\h\hLOSES\h\h\h\h
This could be a trap of hers,
anticipating my next move!
That was a close one.
But I'm one step ahead of you!
She was able to anticipate
what I anticipated.
But having the old maid at this point
actually works out for me.
The third key to victory!
The Third Key to Victory
Hang on to the old maid
while everyone still has a lot of cards,
then pass it on in the latter
half of the game when they're scarce.
This one!
That way, it'll stay in the hands
of the other players
Old Maid
while it works it way back to me,
Old Maid
Old Maid
Old Maid
providing me with
a protracted period of safety.
You can control the cards people pick, too.
Humans have a tendency to choose
from the side opposite
their dominant hand in tense moments.
Which one?
Maybe this one?
Good. I'll hold it until later in the game
before sending it into circulation.
All right! Now's the time!
Go forth, joker!
Yay! I'm out.
So am I!
I should thank the gods
for this opportunity!
This is the perfect one-on-one
duel against Aharen-san!
The fourth key to victory: observation!
The Fourth Key to Victory
It's said that there's no better
psychological indicator than the eyes.
There it is!
This one!
I did it.
I won!
Aharen-san wins!
Congratulations!
Aharen-san I
I don't know if I can ever trust you again!
How could this be? I saw you look away
I got embarrassed that you
were staring at me
Oh, is that it? Sorry about that.
Yet again, I couldn't beat her
All when she's so willing to get close to me!
And because of that,
we end up with this.
This formula will be on the test,
so make sure to note it down.
That's one opulent sleeping position.
Okay, that'll do for today.
We've got class in another room next, right?
Yeah.
Aharen-san, we need to switch classrooms.
You awake?
We've got science next.
Let's get ready and head out.
Aharen-san's not moving.
But why?
I understand, though, Aharen-san.
This is a sensitive age.
Kids in middle and high school often
feel the desire to skip class
for no particular reason.
And look at Aharen-san's mute objection.
Not moving. Not saying a word.
Her silence speaks volumes.
She doesn't rush into
destruction or misconduct
She's so strong and proud.
I was
I was asleep in the same
position for so long
Now I'm numb and can't move.
Yeah, that makes sense. I knew it.
You're just feeling numb.
What do we do about this?
Okay!
Let's head to the science lab like this.
Thanks.
Shirorin!
How about now? Do you have feeling back?
I do.
Good. That takes care of that.
All right, that's it for today.
Let's get going, Aharen-san
Aharen-san, class is over.
I'm numb all over again.
Yeah, that makes sense.
If she keeps falling asleep like this,
she might never be able to leave school!
Calm down! Always jumping to logical
extremes is a bad habit of mine.
But I have to anticipate
a variety of scenarios
or I won't know what to do
if something unexpected happens.
Still
would I really be able to carry her
on my back for the rest of my life?
Aharen-san.
Why are you so tired today?
I was up late thinking about what
kind of sides you'd want with lunch.
For me?!
You didn't finish everything yesterday.
You got it wrong. It was all really good.
There was just more than
I had room for in my stomach.
But I've made up my mind, Aharen-san.
I'm willing to carry you
for the rest of my
Oh, you're feeling better?
Good. That's great.
Tomorrow is finally the field trip!
I'm gonna feed Akkun a homemade lunch
and get my hands on his stomach!
I made a test run today,
so I better try it out!
Sorry, I forgot today was a half day.
That's okay.
I think it's really nice you made lunch.
And it's nice to eat in the park
once in a while.
I can't believe her!
She handmade lunch
so she could snare Akkun, too!
Not on my watch!
Aharen Reina!
Futaba-chan?
I challenge you to a lunch duel!
That's probably a bad idea.
Sorry. Never mind.
You made Akkun lunch, too, didn't you?
Well, mine is obviously
way better than yours!
Wow, you made that by yourself?
Go ahead and try it!
That's interesting I've never had
rolled egg with so many flavors.
It's sweet salty acidic bitter
How do you like that?
I put my own special twist on it!
I'm gonna try yours now.
There's no way it's as good as mine, though.
It's so tasty
A-Anyone can make nice rolled egg, though.
Let's try these meatballs next.
You can tell they're handmade
because they're so uneven.
There's no way this is
So good! It's right up my alley!
I hate to admit it,
but she really is a good cook!
Compared to hers, my lunch tastes
kinda funny and looks weird
A-Aharen Reina.
Um, would you
teach me how to cook, please?
Quit acting so surprised!
I know to be polite when asking
for something, okay?!
I wanna be able to make
a lunch like yours, so
Shirorin!
Good thing they let us
borrow the home ec room.
They even said we could
use leftover ingredients.
Well, let's wash our hands and get cooking.
O-Okay.
It's done!
I did it myself
It's tasty!
You did a good job, Futaba-chan.
I'm sure he'll like it.
I-I know that! You don't have to
spell it out for me!
Aharen Reina
For today, um
R-Really
Really, how could you be so stupid?!
I totally tricked you!
Now I'm a better cook than you!
How naive do you have to be
to help your enemy like this?
Well, see you!
She's a tough little cookie.
I didn't say thank you again
Choose whatever subject you'd like.
The deadline is the end of next week.
You're free to use any tools
or materials in the art room.
Okay.
Having that freedom
makes it harder to decide, weirdly
I know what you mean.
Are you undecided, too, Aharen-san?
Let's think of something together, then.
Maybe something like a landscape drawing?
A landscape
Those are popular. Could be a good idea.
The trick is to give them depth
and create the right sense
of scale between objects.
Landscapes are hard, huh?
What do you two think you're doing?!
Futaba-chan.
How'd the lunch go?
It didn't go anywhere!
Aharen Reina!
How dare you How dare you
How dare you poison that lunch?!
Poison?
Akkun got an upset tummy because of it!
Wait, did you take the lunch
we made that day?
I-Is that a problem?
A big one!
You need to make lunch fresh
that morning or it'll spoil.
I think portraits are more up our alley.
The first big step is to properly
observe your model.
Uh
I think this might be
a little too much observation.
You'll be my model next, Aharen-san.
Um, models are supposed to sit still.
It's embarrassing to be watched
I see. Sorry. Let's try something else.
Clay is one of the most fundamental
mediums for three-dimensional art.
The important thing is
to create a sense of volume.
Maybe I can sculpt my sister
There. All done.
Clay's tricky, huh?
What about you, Aharen-san?
How long's that gonna take to finish?
About two months.
Way past the deadline, huh?
A self-portrait ended up working out best.
The deadline's today, but Aharen-san's
been locked up in her studio
and hasn't come out
Aharen-san, how's it going? Did you finish?
I don't see anything
What did you make, Aharen-san?
Aharen-san?
Are you okay?
Aharen-san?!
A-Are you asleep?
Pardon me
She's not breathing!
Her heart's not beating!
An Unprecedented Sentencing! Execution
Did I kill her?!
Previously
Unsolved
Cases
Connected
Classmate Arrested!
Lured In with Sweet Whispers
Stay calm!
At times like this, the best thing
to do is CPR while calling for help!
Somebody, help!
What is it?
Perfect timing, Aharen-san!
Aharen-san just fell!
Call a teacher! Get the AED!
And dial the emergency
Huh?! There're two Aharen-sans?
Oh, this?
It's the doll I made.
She made a life-sized doll?
Kinda excessively realistic, huh?!
I'm glad you got a good grade
with that thing.
It really is impressive.
You can have it if you like it that much.
I couldn't possibly accept it.
Not after you made it yourself.
I'm not gonna be able to sleep, am I?
