My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex (2022) s01e08 Episode Script

The Former Couple's On Edge

1
Library
I'd like to peruse your book collection.
My book collection?
Hush now.
There's no need to question it.
It's simply an innate desire.
I wish to see your collection
and nothing more.
If you must twist my arm,
I wish to discern which pages of which
light novels have creases in them,
and so discover which heroines were
instrumental in your sexual awakening.
Huh?
You know those racy light novels
everyone hides from their parents.
You must have at least one hidden away
at the back of your bookcase, right?
Ow!
Could you be a little gentler
when you touch me?
It'll feel better for both of us that way.
You're being way more of a
pain in the neck than usual.
Oh, so you've decided to feel me up
with your eyes instead, have you?
I suppose I'll allow it.
You may imagine me naked too,
if you so desire.
I'm about ready to end this "friend" thing.
I was only kidding!
I'll stop making dirty jokes, okay?!
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I feel like my innocence will be
in jeopardy if I let you come over.
Fear not.
I'll release all my sexual tension beforehand.
Well, all joking aside
You seem like the type to hold
on to older light novels,
so I was hoping I could come borrow some.
That's fine by me.
But it means coming over
to a guy's house alone, no?
Won't that put you on edge?
Hmm?
You turned me down the other day,
proving your lack of interest.
What's there to be on edge about?
With that pure, innocent gaze
How could I possibly refute her?
My Stepmom's
Daughter Is
My Ex
The Former Couple's On Edge
"I've Already Been Rejected, So It's Fine."
Higashira-san.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Been here long?
N-No, I just got here myself.
Well, let's see you.
Oh, I'm so glad! She really does dress lame!
We were right to invite her out ahead of time.
What?
You two are dissing me right now, aren't you?
That was a diss, right?
All righty!
Without further ado,
I present today's agenda.
I call it
"Operation Make Over Higashira Isana"!
You're going over to Irido-kun's
tomorrow, aren't you?
Y-Yes
So to keep you from embarrassing yourself
by wearing something lame like this
We thought we might lend some assistance.
Let's go look for cute
clothes together, shall we?
You want Irido-kun to think
you're cute, don't you?
W-Well, you're not wrong
But I didn't bring that much money with me.
Not to worry.
Akatsuki-san and I will pay
for everything today.
Wha?! N-No way!
I couldn't possibly ask you to do that.
Don't worry about it!
Just keep in mind
We do have one condition.
A-And what's that?
That you try on whatever we suggest.
No ifs, ands, or buts!
H-H-Huh?!
Y-You want me to wear this?
Yup! That's what I picked.
Now quit whining and try it!
B-But U-Uh
This kind of thing just
doesn't look good on me.
No ifs, ands, or buts!
Akatsuki-san,
you just wanted to use her as
a dress-up doll, didn't you?
You caught me.
U-Um, I finished putting it on
Let's see it!
I look like the token hot girl
in a horror movie.
Too lewd!
What's your cup size, anyway?!
I-I'm a G-cup
A G-cup?!
Gee
Whiz!
Fitting Rooms
Stop touching them out of nowhere!
I didn't realize breasts
could jiggle so much.
Same.
All right! Plenty more to go, Higashira-san!
This looks like that dress that
went viral for a while.
Too lewd!
This is more conservative than the rest,
but it feels a little tight
Too lewd!
This is quite the dilemma.
Anything she wears ends up
looking majorly risqué.
Can't I just wear what I normally do?
A reserved person like me has no business
sticking out like a sore thumb.
Now that outfit's
Definitely out.
Whatever we try,
nothing's gonna work unless
we downplay these G-cups.
Something loose and flowy should do.
Loose and flowy?
Something like what Yume-chan's wearing.
It softens your silhouette.
Try pairing a loose-fitting top
with a light and flowy skirt.
Something like that might just
be enough to hide your sexy bod.
Hmm, that's true.
But then I guess you'd be copying
Yume-chan's style, huh?
And it's bad to copy someone else?
Of course it is!
We girls have to coordinate our outfits
in order to maintain harmony, after all.
Wow.
So if Yume-chan switches up her style,
it'd be a totally different story!
Huh? M-Me?
Whoa! I would be honored to behold
Yume-chan's Newtype awakening.
Right?!
'Kay, I'll go pick something!
Did she plan on making me the
dress-up doll from the very beginning?
I've avoided tight clothing for so long
Looking back, I can only describe
it as youthful indiscretion.
But from my second to third
year of middle school,
I had what you might call a boyfriend.
Given how categorically
unsophisticated I was back then,
not to mention my peerless inelegance,
there was one matter I needed
to address with all haste.
That's right. My sense of fashion.
After foolishly promising
to meet up on the weekend,
I was left anxiously scratching my head.
Search\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hbest date outfit ideas
In preparation, I did extensive
research on the subject.
A dark jacket over a breezy lace skirt is a mature look.
Add in a pale green purse for a perfect weekend date look!
Related link!
Coordinate with the perfect shoulder bag!
5. Pair a white dress with denim pants for a breezy date outfit!
I groaned over every option
until the very last minute.
When the day finally came,
I managed to find an outfit I was
satisfied with and set out to meet him.
But when I arrived at our
arranged meeting spot, that boy
He had no reaction. No comment.
He was utterly unfazed.
He offered no commentary on my
attire as the date went on, either.
Thus I concluded
I must have looked so lame that he
was avoiding the subject for my sake.
Yet just when it seemed we
were about to go our separate ways,
he said something out of the blue
Your outfit today It's cute.
He must have been too embarrassed
to compliment me sooner.
Yet then he went on to say
But, um, I'd appreciate it if you
didn't wear miniskirts outside.
I wouldn't mind any other time, though
He wouldn't mind any other time?
So it'd be okay if we were indoors?
Why can't I wear them outside?
Is it because we're in public?
Because other people are around?
I was happy that someone
so seemingly unattached
had finally shown a glimpse
of possessiveness toward me.
Overcome with joy, I was nothing
but smiles the whole way home.
And from that point on,
my sense of style was wholly dictated by
my thirst for Irido Mizuto's approval.
What on earth was I thinking back then?!
Yume-chan? Are you done changing?
How do I look?
You look so chic!
I think I'm kinda into it.
Your stunning legs are
finally in the spotlight!
There aren't many girls who can pull
off white skinny jeans, you know?
I guess it's about time I stopped relying on
my middle school fashion sense anyway.
I'll go ask a sales rep to remove the tags.
My dreams are finally coming to fruition.
All right! You're up, Higashira-san!
Huh? U-Uh Right.
Isn't this a little too cutesy for me?
That's the whole reason
you're wearing it, isn't it?
Just gimme one second!
Fitting Rooms
Um Can we go with this?
As you wish, m'lady!
You seemed on the fence earlier.
What helped you make up your mind?
Ta-da!
Mizuto-kun
Looks good to me
Read
Oh! A rave review!
Looks like Operation Make Over
Higashira Isana was a success!
Read
What do you think?
Right, Yume-chan?
Oh Yes.
Are you looking forward to
tomorrow, Higashira-san?
Yes, very much so.
My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex
M e i b u n s h a
Looking back, I can only describe
it as youthful indiscretion.
But from my second to third
year of middle school,
I had what you might call a girlfriend.
The underlying thread that bound us
two unlikely lovers together was,
Mystery Novels
simply put, books.
This is the book I've been looking for!
But i-it's so expensive.
I have that entire series at home, by the way.
Huh? Really?
Yup.
I can lend it to you, if you'd like.
Wanna stop by after this?
What?! A-A-At your place?
I um Er, I mean
Oh, uh uh
I-I'll bring it to school tomorrow.
Okay. Thank you.
We chickened out. Why, you ask?
Because we were dating.
And being alone in a room together has
different implications when you're a couple.
That Was All I Ever Wanted
August 15th (Sat)
Higashira Isana
I'm here!
Irido
It's up on the second floor.
Th-Thanks for having me
She's just a friend, all right?
Wow
So this is your collection, huh?
Do you mind if I have a rummage?
Just put things back where you find them.
Now, why are you here?
I'm supervising.
Can't have you laying a finger
on poor Higashira-san, can I?
You think I'd do such a thing
when my entire family's home?
Whoa!
L-Look at this!
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Nagaru Tanigawa
It's that old light novel
I've been meaning to read!
Mizuto-kun, do you mind if I read this?
The Melancholy
of Haruhi Suzumiya
Nagaru Tanigawa
Sure, go ahead.
Then I'll read on your bed, okay?
One, two
W-Wait!
What do you think you're
doing, Higashira-san?!
That's his bed, you know?
The Melancholy
of Haruhi Suzumiya
I know that.
That's why I asked his permission.
Aren't you even a little on edge?
The Melancholy
of Haruhi Suzumiya
On edge?
I've already been rejected, so it's fine.
Anthuriums: The Flower of Innocence
Right, Mizuto-kun?
That Was All I Ever Wanted
Sure.
I can't wrap my head around this at all.
Don't bother trying.
I'm committed to treating her the
same way I would any guy friend.
Just try to relax and
read a book or something.
Maybe I will.
That Was All I Ever Wanted
The Melancholy
of Haruhi Suzumiya
Volume 1 complete!
You're already finished reading?
My shoulders are all stiff.
Could you rub them for me, Mizuto-kun?
Why should I?
People with big boobs often
suffer from stiff shoulders.
Did you not know that?
That Was All I Ever Wanted
That's not what I asked.
They're so tensed up. I can barely move them.
I guess I have no choice but to make
your bed my final resting place.
Rolly-rolly, rolly-rolly,
rolly-rolly, rolly-rolly
Okay, I give.
Seikaisha
MSRP: 1350 yen Total (Before Tax)
I'll rub your shoulders, so quit rubbing
your scent all over my bed, would you?
Please be gentle with me.
That's it
Keep going just like that
Okay, what are you playing at?
I'm acting out that light novel trope
where the characters seem
to be doing something raunchy,
but they're not actually.
That doesn't happen in real life.
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
H-Hey! Too much! That's too hard, Mizuto-kun!
Ow, ow, ow! Yeowch!
Just how close are you two?
You're toying with me, aren't you?
You've been dating all along, haven't you?!
What? But we've always been this way.
Yeah, haven't we always been like this?
Oh, I've got it!
Neither of you have ever had friends,
so you have no concept
of personal boundaries!
Mystery solved.
That's rude.
We've had at least one
or two friends, you know?
She's right. At least one or two.
Well, everyone has different
personal boundaries, right?
Exactly. Friendship looks
different for everyone.
I-In any case
Just stop getting touchy-feely on the bed.
Goodness me.
It must be hard dealing with such a
possessive little sister, Mizuto-kun.
Yeah, it's a real pain.
I'm not possessive,
and I'm not his little sister!
Well, anyways
Could you put my socks on for me, Mizuto-kun?
Yeah, yeah.
Hold it!
Why can't you put your socks on yourself?
Well, about that
Bending over is such a struggle
when you have big boobs, you know?
Why does it always come back to your breasts?
Well, to tell the truth,
I've just become accustomed to having
him take care of me, you know?
All right, I put them on for you.
Thank you very much.
Oh, where's your bathroom?
The Melancholy of
Haruhi Suzumiya
Nagaru Tanigawa
I-I'll show you!
So do you still have feelings for
him after all, Higashira-san?
Of course I do.
The possibility of dating him wasn't
why I liked him in the first place.
I don't think I'll ever stop
liking him, for that matter.
As a friend or as a boy.
Isn't that hard for you?
I wonder
I think I'd find it hard to adjust
if he got a girlfriend.
But when I think about it, I'm sure I'd
be more jealous if he made a new friend.
Huh?
I'm the one Mizuto-kun
enjoys talking to the most.
It's like some territorial instinct
starts to well up inside me.
Wouldn't you feel the same, Yume-san?
How would you feel if some long-lost sister
walked into his life out of the blue?
Well
I'm afraid.
Mizuto-kun is the only friend I have.
If he suddenly got more friends who
filled the same role, I'd just
It's not that she wants him all to herself.
She just can't bear the thought of
losing her unique place in his heart.
Higashira-san.
Aren't I your friend too?
Y-You are?
Of course.
B-But still
You wouldn't fill the same role as Mizuto-kun.
Yeah, I know.
Probably as much as you do, if not more.
So where's the bathroom?
Have you been doing this stuff all along?
Rubbing her shoulders and
putting her socks on for her?
That Was All I Ever Wanted
Well, only because it's her.
Hey.
That Was All I Ever Wanted
Put them back on.
You're really making this a competition?
Shut it!
It just seemed fun
to treat you like a servant.
Put. Them. Back. On.
That Was All I Ever Wanted
Y-You heard nothing.
August 15th (Sat)
Higashira Isana
I require assistance~~~
Man, thanks for saving me back there.
They kept bombarding me with questions.
I have no idea how to act in
front of adults I've never met.
Oh, that reminds me.
Your parents were under the impression
that I was your ex-girlfriend.
Any idea why?
Huh?
How'd that come up?
Well, they asked me if we were dating,
so I told them you'd turned me down a
while back and that we're just friends now.
So suddenly, I was your ex.
Listen, they're gonna misunderstand
if you word it like that.
Well, I couldn't just say it, you know?
I couldn't handle explaining
that you'd said no when I confessed,
and that we'd never really dated.
Mizuto-kun I still haven't fully
recovered from that, you know?
I see.
So don't forget to console
me whenever you can, okay?
You're right.
Staying home and reading books all day
is a nice way to spend the weekend, huh?
Yeah.
I'm sure the time I spent silently
reading books with Ayai Yume
Mystery Novels
was just as much fun as today was.
You know, Mizuto
You're a good friend.
So if we'd never dated
Well then, I shall take my leave.
If we'd never gotten together
If we had just stayed
moderately close friends
I wonder if we'd still be spending
time together like we did back then.
But hypothesizing about it's pointless.
Neither she nor I
Neither of us could ever
be like Higashira Isana.
