﻿There is beauty in ugliness.
﻿Say it again.
There is beauty in ugliness.
While you certainly have a lot of flaws,
as much as I want to say nice things about you, you're still not attractive.
﻿But rest assured.
﻿There is a way to turn your flaws into charm just like magic.
﻿That is...
the act of crystallization
﻿Crystallization?
﻿In the mines of Salzburg, Austria,
during winter, people throw twigs into the depths of an abandoned mine.
﻿Two or three months later, the branches,
﻿will be covered with shiny salt crystals.
﻿As if decorated with countless diamonds.
﻿You are now
﻿probably just a twig in the eyes of Marius.
﻿But
﻿you have the potential to become a sparkling diamond.
﻿How do I do that?
﻿Very well, I will give you an assignment, and you must put everything into it.
﻿Yes.
﻿From your appearance,
find 100 points of attractiveness in yourself.
What?
100 points of attractiveness.
﻿I can't, I can't, I can't
Chapter 2 Attractiveness is ugliness
﻿Please return it within 28 days.
﻿Excuse me, where are the history books?
﻿History books? Let me show you.
﻿This way, please.
﻿The attractive parts.
Okabe-san.
Oh no!
﻿Nothing happened.
﻿The boss wants to see you.
﻿Okay.
﻿Could you man the counter?
Sure.
﻿Please come in.
﻿Eh...
﻿About that incident,
﻿I tried to contact your parents.
﻿But no one answered the phone.
﻿I don't think anyone in that family,
﻿would be willing to
contact me.
﻿I see.
﻿Then maybe Ozawa-san really misheard the person on the phone.
﻿﻿He was asking if there was anyone here called Mandara Mandela Mantai.
Uhm..
﻿Thank you, chief.
﻿You've done so much for me.
﻿I even used your relative's name.
﻿No, I should thank you.
What?
﻿You are serious and enthusiastic about your work.
﻿That is more important than anything else.
﻿It's nothing.
﻿I'm counting on you again today.
﻿Excuse me.
Yes.
Find 100 points of attraction.
﻿Uh, chief.
﻿Can I ask you something?
﻿What is it?
﻿My...
Is there anything about me...
that makes you say "oh!"?
"Oh!"?
﻿or make you say "Ah!"?
"Ah!"?
﻿If you had to say,
do you find any attractive points,
﻿about me that you can think of?
﻿Attractive points...
﻿If you'll excuse me.
﻿Wait, wait, wait.
Excuse me.
﻿Attractive points, eh?
Eh?
﻿What's going on? It fell again.
Magica Electric
﻿Hello this is the Tsubasa Library.
﻿What?
Uhm...
I can keep this one, right?
﻿No! It's so tasteless.
﻿This dress,
﻿can only be worn when pulling out weeds.
﻿But it's expensive. Such a waste.
Voler
What?
﻿Voler in French means to fly away. Voler
﻿And then?
﻿You seriously want to change your life
﻿to be Marius' lover, right?
﻿In that case, you have to do what's necessary to transcend your old self.
﻿Don't be afraid to break free from the past.
﻿Give it up. Voler!
Boler
﻿Voler
﻿Boler
Non!
﻿V-V-V-Voler
﻿V-V-V-V-Vore
Non!
﻿Vvvoler!
Vole!
Voler!

﻿Once you're done with that, you have to start changing your image.
﻿Moving closer to the other side. Voler.
﻿Voler
﻿Shall I follow up with a call to this patient?
Yes, thank you.
﻿Doctor, after I ate the yams my eyes are much better.
It's a small thing. It's a small thing. It's not a problem.
﻿"Calling for the 30 year old woman with no self-awareness looking for a change"
﻿Are you the one lacking self-awareness ma'am?
﻿How are you feeling?
﻿Sorry, I'll come back next time.
﻿Smooth and beautiful.
﻿Be the envy of others with beautiful skin.
﻿Ultrasonic ionization will give you clear skin.
﻿Say goodbye to beautification apps.
﻿Be the envy of others with beautiful skin.
﻿I'm sorry.
﻿It is you! Okabe-san.
﻿What a coincidence to meet you at a place like this!
﻿Yes, it is.
﻿Are you here to buy something?
﻿No, not really.
Uh, no, no, I am.
﻿I'm here to buy that today.
﻿That?
Yes, yes.
That, uh...
﻿ah, fluorescent lamps!
﻿I remember the lighting section,
should be over there.
It's fine, it's fine.
﻿I came with my dad. I'll buy it and go back with him.
Sorry. Excuse me.
﻿Why??
﻿Why did you do that?
﻿What have you done all day?
Nothing has changed, right?
﻿I went to the hairdresser's.
﻿Then what did you change?
﻿I trimmed the ends of my hair.
﻿What happened? I told you to make a decision.
﻿I really can't do it.
﻿Listen up.
﻿Being beautiful and being complimented on your beauty are two different things.
﻿Like if you wear the right clothes, people will compliment you for being fashionable.
﻿In other words, things like compliments,
﻿If you work hard at it, you can get it.
﻿By the way, what's in this package?
﻿It's the clothes I bought online.
﻿Otherwise I won't have anything to wear tomorrow.
Hmm.
﻿Please show it to me.
﻿Why are they all such plain clothes?
﻿What is this?
﻿I just bought these to try on.
﻿Okay, you'll wear this to work tomorrow.
﻿What? No, this is a little too...
Voler.
Pole Pole.
What？
Not the palm?
﻿But the fist?
﻿Yeah, yeah. He gave me a really good punch.
﻿That guy gave me a clean right hook with all his might.
﻿You haven't changed at all, always getting into these situations.
﻿How are you doing?
Making any progress with the girl from the library?
Any progress? Well...
﻿Not really.
That's really interesting.
﻿Hey bartender, you've got your eye on the girl he's pursuing, right?
﻿I'm more interested in sensei's new book.
What?
﻿I really can't wait to read your new book.
﻿I'm itching to read it.
﻿I'll do my best to meet your expectations.
Bartender...
﻿My novel will be coming out this month too.
﻿Would you like another drink?
I'm not talking about that.
﻿Author Naoki's new novel is coming out this month.
﻿A friend gave me a kitten a while ago.
Take a look. His name is Hana.
﻿Look at Hana. She has flower-like markings.
That's cute.
It's rare.
I'm not talking about this.
You should look out for Naoki's new novel.
﻿Oh really? I'll read it when it comes out. That's good. It's cute.
﻿Very good.
﻿Although it's not a rainbow,
this is the brightest and most lively appearance so far.
﻿I'm heading out.
﻿Have a safe trip.
﻿I still can't do it.
Okay, ﻿I'll think about it.
﻿Chief. Yes.
Yesterday the man with the heavy accent called again,
﻿I told him there was no one named Mantai here and hung up the phone.
﻿But I'm still wondering about it.
﻿I think he was speaking with an Aomori dialect.
﻿Oh, is that so?
Yes!
﻿I have relatives who are from Aomori.
﻿That's how I could understand what he was saying.
﻿Come to think of it, Sato-chan, you're from Aomori, right?
﻿It's Okinawa.
﻿Okinawa?
﻿Are you from Okinawa?
Okinawa,
is where I'm from.
That doesn't sound like an Okinawan accent.
﻿I'm from Aomori.
﻿Saito-san, next time you get the same call, please pass it on to me.
Okay.
﻿Then, let's work hard and peacefully again today.
﻿Let's work hard.
Thank you very much. Please come again soon.
﻿The meaning of this flower is "hope".
﻿Thank you very much. Thank you.
﻿Please help me.
﻿Okay, I'll take care of it.
﻿Thank you.
﻿You have nice fingers.
What?
﻿Do you do any nail care?
﻿Just a little trimming.
﻿I know. That's good etiquette.
﻿People who don't take care of their fingers, give the impression that they're cold.
﻿I'm sorry.
﻿Could you help us?
﻿Please take care of things here.
﻿I'd like to borrow this book.
﻿One moment, please.
He's really handsome. Yes, really handsome.
﻿What did you talk to him about?
﻿We started talking about nail care.
﻿Then we talked about his favorite novels.
﻿And finally, we talked about what kind of girls he likes.
﻿How did you do it? How did you manage to talk about so many things?
﻿Because it's me, naturally.
﻿That's as good as it gets.
﻿So what type does he like?
﻿﻿In short, he does not like people who lie.
﻿I...
seriously want to pursue him.
﻿Ahh, you're so cunning!
﻿Thank you.
﻿In short, he does not like people who lie.
Seriously? That liar, Mantai.
Is it true? You're a liar!
﻿Mantai the liar.
﻿How are you?
﻿Marius.
﻿What do you like about me?
What?
﻿What makes you think I'm the one you're fated to be with?
﻿Can you really say it's fate, if there isn't a clear reason?
﻿The problem is not the reason itself,
it's because I don't believe in the reason.
﻿It's obvious that it wasn't meant to be from the beginning.
﻿When I look back, I know I have accepted it,
but ﻿I still can't help but be drawn to you deeply.
﻿For me,
because that person is you...
Liar!
﻿Liar.
﻿I'm not lying.
﻿You're lying about liking me, right?
﻿It's not a lie.
﻿All liars should stand behind the yellow line and be lonely forever.
﻿I'm not lying.
﻿You lie because no one loves you, right?
﻿I'm not lying.
﻿You really are a liar!
﻿Mantai
﻿Welcome home.
﻿So...
﻿Have you found your 100 attractive points?
﻿I...
give up.
For me,
﻿I can't find a single attractive point.
﻿So I'm neither attractive nor praiseworthy.
Marius' love,
﻿will not be able to crystallize.
﻿Is that what...
﻿you really think of yourself?
﻿Yes.
﻿In that case, it's not up to me.
﻿You should be the judge of yourself.
﻿I...
﻿I can't...
be Marius'
lover.
﻿You have long eyelashes.
﻿What?
﻿A smooth and bright forehead.
﻿In perfect proportions.
﻿What are you talking about?
﻿I'm talking about the attractive part of your appearance.
﻿The length of your eyelashes,
﻿supports natural beauty.
﻿Surrounded by such long lashes,
﻿are almond eyes.
﻿Almond eyes are the mark of beauty.
﻿Please stop.
﻿The distance from your nose to your mouth is small, which gives you a cute look.
﻿Your clavicle line is beautiful and your hair is healthy.
﻿Stop it!
﻿I'm just...
﻿telling you what I see in the mirror.
﻿This is what the mirror is trying to tell you.
﻿I won't lie to you.
﻿Voler
Apply long vertical brush on cheeks for round or large face
﻿I'm scared, I can't...
﻿Isn't it fashionable to wear glasses?
"Changeur"
In ﻿English it means "change".
﻿You need to change your image now.
﻿Voler
Voler
﻿How do I look?
Very good.
﻿What do you think?
﻿The desire to be beautiful,
﻿all humans feel that way.
﻿In other words
﻿Making yourself more beautiful is naturally an enjoyable thing to do.
﻿How does you feel?
Happy?
Good morning.
What happened to you, Okabe-san?
﻿This dress is a "Life with Flowers" special edition, isn't it?
﻿Yes it is.
﻿Wow! What happened to Sato-chan?
You cut your hair short and you're not wearing glasses.
﻿Sorry, I need to get to work.
﻿What's going on?
What is it?
What are you dreaming of?
﻿No, I'm not.
Yeah, right.
You used the wrong colors.
﻿I'm sorry, we're closing.
﻿Are you Okabe Satoko-san?
﻿What?
﻿Hello.
﻿I'm Hiranuma Keigo.
﻿Who?
