Aharen-san wa hakarenai (2022) s01e12 Episode Script
This Is a Duel, Huh?
1
Letter of challenge
What is this? You're scaring me, Aharen-san,
staring into empty space out of the blue
Reina-chan
How can you tell?
I'm hiding even more carefully than before.
But ever since what happened
they've seemed kind of different.
Maybe they really are
She noticed me again! I have to wonder
How is she this sharp?
Aharen-san, you've been
staring past me all day.
Is something there?
I've suddenly got chills.
I think I'm gonna head
straight home today. Sorry.
Oshiro-san.
She suddenly called out to me!
But why?!
It's finally just the two of us.
Raido-kun was considerate enough
to give us time alone.
Y-You think?
I realize I haven't told you
about what happened yet.
D-Do you want to talk about it?
Reina-chan, are you w-well
Are you g-going out with Raido-kun?
Oshiro-san?
Reina-chan worked up her courage
And Raido-kun just!
Letter of challenge
From Oshiro
Episode Twelve This Is a Duel, Huh?
A letter of challenge.
That means a duel, I guess.
This has to be a misunderstanding.
I can't imagine Oshiro-san wanting a duel
Raido-kun.
Hey, Oshiro-san
Hell for Raido
No misunderstanding there.
As promised, Reina-chan isn't here, right?
Right. I came alone.
Good.
I don't want her to see me like this.
Hell for Raido
You and I are going to have a duel!
I'm dead meat, huh?
The winner has to do
whatever the loser says.
I challenge you to Reversi.
You've got no martial arts experience, so
this should be fair, right?
Yeah. It should be. That's a relief.
Understood. You're on.
You can be black and go first.
Now
Hell for Raido
I have some questions for you,
and depending on the answers
Hell for Raido
You should brace yourself for when I win!
I really am dead meat, huh?
No. I just need to win.
I'm sure she's doing this for a reason.
I need to win and get it
all out in the open!
She took the corners before I even noticed!
I
Hell for Raido
I've never lost in Reversi,
not even to Reina-chan.
Hell for Raido
All right everyone, a new
semester means new seats.
Please move to the desk you drew.
I hope I can get along
with my new seatmate.
G-Glad to be sitting next to you,
Aharen Reina-chan.
Likewise.
Sh-She's so cute.
I've never seen her up close before.
She's tiny, like a doll.
The total opposite of big old me.
Next class is P.E.
Wh-What is it?
Can I borrow yours?
I'm sorry my jacket's so big
Thanks. I forgot my gym clothes.
Reina-chan is small and cute,
and a little absent minded.
Because her voice is so quiet,
she gets really close when she talks.
Every time she does, it gives me a start.
Before sitting next to Aharen-san,
I've never been through so many surprises.
You like Reversi?
Yeah. What about you, Oshiro-san?
Yeah! Me, too.
Hell for Raido
Okay. Now we just need
to put the podium back.
Oh, I can do that.
It's okay.
A-Are you all right?
I'm alive.
Shirorin!
Your face is covered in dust
Thanks.
You can't do that to yourself.
Unlike me, you're cute.
So you should try to look nice.
Here.
I think you're cute, too, Oshiro-san.
Raido? He rushed off somewhere.
Thanks.
Kinda rare for them not to
go home together, right?
I wonder if something happened.
There's something you want me
to do if you win, right?
Well
If you don't feel the same way about her
Hell for Raido
then I want you
to stay away from Reina-chan.
If that's what you really want
then I can't afford to lose anymore.
I'm going to give everything I've got!
Hell for Raido
Hell for Raido
He's fighting back?
From that kind of disadvantage?
Hell for Raido
He managed to win on the last play?!
B-But why?
If you don't like Reina-chan, then
What difference does it make if you lose?
You seem to be mistaken
about something. The truth is
I well I think you're
Sorry. Never mind.
Aharen-san.
There's something I need
to tell you. About how I feel.
I
like Aharen-san!
R-R-Reina-chan?!
How long have you been there?
Just got here
I found your hair clip,
so I was looking for you.
Thanks.
And
I'm sorry, Oshiro-san.
I should've explained what happened.
I gave you the wrong idea.
Back then, I couldn't say it.
But then Raido-kun told me how he felt.
I was really happy.
But I couldn't say anything, and I
And when he looked so surprised,
I thought I'd messed up again.
So I ran off without saying anything.
I thought I'd just misjudged
how to get close again.
S-So that's what happened
I-I'm really sorry, Raido-kun!
Don't worry about it.
Everybody makes mistakes.
Aharen-san.
I was surprised about what happened,
but as for your sense of distance
I like that, too.
R-Raido-kun I
I like you, too, Raido-kun.
All right!
How long have you two been there?
We saw Aharen-san was looking
for you, so we got curious!
We went after her! And then
Right?!
I'm so glad, though!
My heart was absolutely pounding!
Yeah, yeah! Me, too!
If I stay close to her
Reina-chan's going to hear
my heart pounding!
Ever since then, I've been too nervous
to do anything but watch at a distance.
But after that, I was able to talk
with Reina-chan again
This is great, Raido! Aharen-san!
Now that I think about it, I'm here now
because Raido-kun found me.
Seriously! Congratulations, you two!
Thanks, guys.
I'm couldn't be happier if it was me!
The girl who sits next to me, Aharen-san,
has trouble with judging
how close to get to people.
Aharen-san and I are now
Okay, that's it for today.
I know spring vacation is coming up, people,
but don't let it get to your heads!
Okay.
Come on, Aharen-san, let's head home.
Sorry. I need to do something.
Aharen-san?
Could this be the infamous
Cold spell?!
The ennui that descend upon
long-time couples and spouses!
The best cure is to spice things up.
The shape of those leaves
Cassava?
It's a type of tropical root vegetable,
and the skin and core of raw cassava root
is said to be poisonous.
Aharen-san, I know you want
some excitement, but
Wait!
Tapioca is made from cassava!
Aharen-san is trying to start
her own tapioca milk tea business!
But there's a lot of risk in building
an enterprise around one beverage.
She's bound to have more in mind
Mascot characters!
She's going to make tapioca pearls
into cute mascots with personality
in order to develop a new customer base!
Aharen-san's thirst for adventure
knows no bounds!
I was anxious about the risk and
thought about letting her go it alone.
But
Hold it right there.
I can't believe you'd do this
without telling me.
You caught me.
Sorry for keeping it a secret.
I wanted to surprise you
And I've never done this before,
so I was scared of messing up.
Don't worry about that stuff.
If you're scared, I want to be there to help.
Thank you.
We can tend to these together from now on.
They bloomed nicely.
That worked out great.
I kinda noticed along the way,
but these aren't cassava, huh?
These flowers are called lupinus.
Oh, lupinus.
They sure are pretty, huh?
What they symbolize seemed a perfect fit.
What lupinus symbolizes
It's imagination, right?
That is pretty appropriate.
Wait, hang on. They have
another meaning, don't they?
I think it's
Greed, right?
I see.
Huh? Why are you puffing up all of a sudden?
You're so dense, Raido-kun.
Are you mad?
Well wanna head home?
I'm sorry I called you dense.
I wonder what Aharen-san
was mad about yesterday.
I still don't always understand her.
Okay, that'll do for today.
All right. Another day done.
Close as ever, huh?
To Raido-kun
Come by later. I'll be waiting.
She asked me to come
to the unused tea room.
Just the two of us. With no one else around.
Maybe this is another thrill
to get us out of the cold spell?
She's just making tea normally.
Wait, don't tell me, Aharen-san. Are you
Sen no Rikyu,
the tea master who spread
the art of the tea ceremony
through the Sengoku
and Azuchi-Momoyama periods?
There are theories that Rikyu used
the intel he gained at tea circles
to become the puppetmaster
of Japan from the shadows!
Is this your way of telling me
you know all my secrets?
Aharen-san, are you trying to blackmail me?!
Do you like bell peppers, Aharen-san?
I hate these things. Let's feed them to her.
I put my pants on backwards by accident!
I need to hide it so no one notices!
I won 300 yen in the lottery.
Let's keep it quiet.
Aharen-san, just how much
do you know about me?!
But I know all the basics
of a tea ceremony myself!
You can't shake me down that easy!
So bring it!
This is just tea, huh?
With sweets?
What exactly is going on?
I know you want excitement,
but a duel seems a little excessive!
Faculty Office
My head is still spinning
I like Aharen-san!
I like you, too, Raido-kun.
Sensei! Are you okay?!
I'm still not feeling right from the
aftershocks of that great esteem eruption
Momo-chan.
To Miyahira-sensei & Tobaru-sensei
What is that?
Now wait a minute, Aharen-san!
Welcome, Oshiro-san.
H-Hello there.
I'm really glad you invited me.
She called Oshiro-san?
Is she going to be the referee?
Is this duel really happening?!
Sorry about the holdup!
We had cleanup duty.
Thanks for inviting us, Aharen-san!
You even made tea!
Thanks for giving us permission
to use the room and the equipment.
No trouble.
You came early, Raido-kun, so I wanted
you to test-taste the treats I made.
What about the duel?
Actually, never mind.
I was nervous since
I've never done this before,
but I'm glad you're all here.
I wanted to share these with all of you.
That does sound good. It's more
fun to enjoy stuff in a group.
Let's have some tea, then.
Look at how the cherry
blossoms are blooming!
That's right. You're all going
to be second-years soon.
Everything okay? You look worried.
I
I was worried that I'd mess up a bunch
and be all alone again in high school.
But that didn't happen.
Every day's been so much fun
thanks to everyone who came today.
So I wanted to show how grateful I am.
I see. That's why you had the tea party.
Aharen-san?
I'm scared.
What if I end up in a
different class from you all?
I don't know if I'll be able to
make friends with new people.
It'll be okay.
Even if we end up in different classes,
I'll be there when you need me.
The other meanings of lupinus flowers
There are two more aside
from the ones you mentioned.
There are?
"You bring me peace" and "I'm always happy."
Thank you
Besides, Aharen-san, it's not just me.
The others will be there, too.
Hey, there they are!
Miyahira-sensei thought you wanted to
look at the cherry blossoms.
I called it, didn't I?
Even if we're in different classes,
there's more than just school.
There're all kinds of people in the world.
Nice people.
Friends that you haven't met yet.
I'm sure there're lots of them.
Thank you.
They look so happy together.
They're positively esteemgenic!
I've been hanging on until now, but
it's too much!
Momo-chan?
Tobaru-sensei?!
Momo-chan!
I-I've got some tissues!
Oh, thank you!
