**[00:13] Man**
Hello, Madoka!
**[00:14] mado**
Hello!
**[00:16] mado**
Are you gentlemen
visiting the shrine together?
**[00:19] Man**
Didn't you hear?
**[00:21] Man**
There was the first tug-of-war
match in a while at the temple earlier.
**[00:25] mado**
I've been at the library all morning
reading to the children...
**[00:31] mado**
Then again, I think maybe
**[00:34] ---**
Grandfather mentioned
something about that yesterday.
**[00:37] mado**
Who was competing against whom?
**[00:40] Man**
It's going to be Sakai from the sake store and
**[00:42] Man**
that kid from the big city, you know?
**[00:45] mado**
You mean Kazuma?
**[00:47] Man1**
Yeah, that's him!
**[00:47] Man1**
He comes to my
store too sometimes.
**[00:50] mado**
But why on earth
was Kazuma competing
**[00:53] ---**
against Mr. Sakai in a
game of tug-of-war?!
**[00:55] Man**
I don't know.
**[00:57] Man**
I only came to watch
since he told me about it.
**[01:01] Man2**
I heard it from a Yorozuyo
waitress who came to my store,
**[01:04] ---**
so I don't really know the details...
**[01:06] Old**
What the hell?
**[01:07] Old**
You guys were
getting all worked up
**[01:09] ---**
without knowing anything?
**[01:11] Old**
Since ancient times,
the temple tug-of-wars
**[01:14] Old**
have always been about
asking a girl's hand in marriage.
**[01:16] Man**
Wait, so...
**[01:18] Old**
I bet the kid asked for his daughter
**[01:22] ---**
and it threw the old man into a fit.
**[01:24] Man**
I see.
**[01:26] Man**
So I guess they decided the fate
**[01:27] ---**
of his only daughter through the match.
**[01:29] Old**
It sure takes me back.
**[01:30] Old**
I remember when I
asked for my wife's hand.
**[01:33] Old**
Her father was dead against it,
**[01:35] ---**
and decided that we needed to settle it
**[01:37] ---**
in front of the temple
in a tug-of-war match.
**[01:39] Old**
Back then, tug-of-war
**[01:42] ---**
was sometimes referred to as "tug-of-wife".
**[01:42] mado**
So that means Kazuma and Sakai are...
**[01:43] ---**
Since you were pulling both the rope...
**[03:17] mado**
But...
**[03:18] mado**
But we've just
become friends!
**[03:22] mado**
And now you have to leave...
**[03:24] Kaz**
We'll always be friends.
**[03:27] mado**
We'll always...
**[03:28] mado**
be friends?
**[03:30] Kaz**
That's right.
**[03:32] mado**
Okay.
**[03:38] ---**
Minamikokubaru Daigo
**[03:46] Kaz**
Yes, hello?
**[03:48] Dai**
Hey bro, it's me!
**[03:49] Kaz**
Daigo, what do you want?
**[03:51] Dai**
Listen man, you gotta help me!
**[03:53] Kaz**
Huh?

**[04:04] Koy**
Hello!
**[04:07] Oba**
Hello, Koyori!
**[04:08] Oba**
It looks like you're back from your trip.
**[04:10] Oba**
Did you have fun in Hawaii?
**[04:12] Koy**
I sure did!
**[04:13] Koy**
And I brought back some souvenirs.
**[04:14] Koy**
Is Madoka here?
**[04:15] Oba**
She's here, but she's not feeling so well...
**[04:20] Koy**
Is she sick?
**[04:21] Oba**
I wouldn't go so far
as to say she's sick.
**[04:24] Oba**
I think she might be
suffering a bit from the heat.
**[04:27] Oba**
I guess...
**[04:28] ---**
She hasn't been feeling well
**[04:31] ---**
ever since the day
of the tug-of-war match.
**[04:32] Koy**
Tug-of-war match?
**[04:34] Koy**
Isn't that how they used to
settle disputes in the olden times?
**[04:37] Koy**
So why did they have one?
**[04:38] Oba**
I didn't really understand it myself.
**[04:41] Oba**
Oh well, I'm sure seeing your face
**[04:43] ---**
will cheer her right up.
**[04:45] Oba**
Why don't you go say hi to her?
**[04:47] Koy**
All right.
**[04:50] Old**
I see.
**[04:54] Old**
You're saying she's been
listless since the tug-of-war match.
**[04:56] Koy**
Yeah.
**[04:58] Old**
Well, I guess Kazuma's the cause of that.
**[05:01] Koy**
What?
**[05:02] Koy**
Did he do something to her?!
**[05:04] Old**
Huh?
**[05:05] Old**
No, that's not what I meant.
**[05:07] Old**
But you see, Koyori,
**[05:09] ---**
in the old times,
tug-of-war at the temple
**[05:11] ---**
was called tug-of-wife.
**[05:14] Old**
You see, both the rope and the wife were...
**[05:19] Dai**
I would like to thank you all warmly
**[05:21] ---**
for joining me at the emergency
**[05:22] Dai**
"Let's Get All Our Piled Up Summer
Homework Done Together" meeting.
**[05:28] Dai**
To enjoy the few remaining days of summer,
**[05:29] Dai**
it is of tantamount importance
**[05:31] ---**
that we tie up the lingering
threads of our home...
**[05:33] Koy**
Kazuma!
**[05:34] Koy**
Are you here?!
**[05:35] Kaz**
Yes.
**[05:37] Kaz**
What's up?
**[05:42] Koy**
Kazuma!
**[05:43] ---**
Huh?
**[05:44] Koy**
You bastard!
**[05:50] Koy**
Is it true that you're marrying Hina?!
**[05:53] Kaz**
What?
**[05:54] Kaz**
Marriage?
**[05:56] Kaz**
Huh?
**[05:57] All**
What?!
**[06:02] Koy**
Oh.
**[06:03] Koy**
So I guess you two
aren't getting married after all.
**[06:06] Kaz**
Of course not!
**[06:08] Kaz**
Where did you even get that idea?
**[06:10] Ui**
I didn't even know about this event.
**[06:13] ---**
I would've gone and cheered you on!
**[06:16] Kaz**
Well, it was...
**[06:17] ibu**
I guess it's pretty decent
of you to put yourself on the line
**[06:20] ---**
for Sakai's sake.
**[06:23] Kaz**
I guess I didn't hear about
it because I was in Hawaii,
**[06:25] Kaz**
but as the official ears of Yamabiko,
**[06:28] ---**
I can't believe I had to
miss an event like that!
**[06:33] Ayu**
My brother looked really cool in his loin cloth.
**[06:37] Kaz**
Geez, Ayumu, don't talk about it!
**[06:39] Koy**
Then I'm going to go and
report back to Madoka.
**[06:43] Kaz**
Why would you tell her?
**[06:46] Koy**
Because she's been feeling down
**[06:48] ---**
ever since the tug-of-war happened
**[06:49] Koy**
and Grandpa Gen said it was because
**[06:52] ---**
you and Hina were getting married.
**[06:53] Koy**
So if I tell her that's not true, she'll...
**[06:55] Dai**
Hold it right there!
**[06:56] Dai**
So what you're saying is...
**[06:57] Dai**
that Madoka is...
**[06:59] Dai**
in love with Kazuma?!
**[07:09] Koy**
You really think
that's what's going on?!
**[07:11] Dai**
You're asking me?!
**[07:14] Dai**
Wait, did you get all worked up
without understanding that part?
**[07:17] Kaz**
She's never been one
for thinking things through.
**[07:20] Koy**
Well, anyway, I'll go tell Madoka...
**[07:24] Kaz**
Hey, Koyori!
**[07:28] Ui**
They're gone.
**[07:31] Dai**
It looks like things just
got a little more interesting.
**[07:34] Kaz**
You can say that again.
**[07:39] ibu**
What then?
**[07:40] ibu**
You made me trek out here in this god awful heat,
**[07:43] ---**
so this better be good.
**[07:45] Ui**
That's right!
**[07:46] Ui**
If it's boring, then it better be
cold, sweet, and delicious!
**[07:49] Dai**
Please keep your complaints
**[07:51] ---**
and the review of the parfait separate.
**[07:54] Kaz**
Daigo, don't forget why we're here.
**[07:57] Dai**
You're right.
**[07:59] Dai**
We wanted to talk to you
**[08:01] ---**
about setting up my
bro and Madoka.
**[08:04] Dai**
We'd really appreciate it
if you guys assisted.
**[08:06] Dai**
I mean, Madoka is a really shy girl
**[08:09] Dai**
and even my big-city bro is pretty naive
**[08:11] ---**
and lost around these parts,
**[08:14] Dai**
so we were thinking
**[08:16] ---**
us friends of theirs could
play a little Cupid and...
**[08:18] ibu**
This is idiotic.
**[08:19] Dai**
What?
**[08:20] Dai**
Hinata, you're against it?
**[08:22] ibu**
I'm not for or against it,
**[08:23] ---**
I just don't see why I have to
get involved in the first place.
**[08:26] Dai**
What do you mean, "why"?
**[08:27] Dai**
Because they're your friends!
**[08:29] Dai**
Can't you do this little thing for your friends?
**[08:32] ibu**
Whatever. I'm not helping you.
**[08:35] Ui**
Ibuki!
**[08:48] Ui**
Wait, Ibuki, wait!!
**[08:57] Ui**
What's wrong?
**[08:59] Ui**
You're not acting like yourself at all!
**[09:02] ibu**
Are you okay with this, Ui?
**[09:06] ibu**
Him and Madoka getting together?
**[09:09] Ui**
Well, I...
**[09:12] Ui**
I mean, to me,
**[09:15] ---**
Kazu is like an older brother.
**[09:18] Ui**
So... well...
**[09:25] ibu**
Fine.
**[09:27] ibu**
If that's how you feel, then fine.
**[09:30] Ui**
Ibuki?
**[09:33] mado**
You want me to go out with Kazuma?!
**[09:36] Kaz**
That's right!
**[09:37] Kaz**
We've discussed it with Daigo,
**[09:39] ---**
and we've all decided
to support your love!
**[09:42] mado**
L-L-L-love?!
**[09:44] Koy**
We've got a really good plan,
**[09:46] ---**
so the whole thing is smooth sailing!
**[09:50] Kaz**
We've invited Hoshino under the pretense
**[09:53] ---**
of going to the amusement park together.
**[09:55] Kaz**
Right before, we'll all call and say
**[09:57] ---**
that something came up
and we have to cancel.
**[09:59] Kaz**
Then you'll be free to
go on a date with him.
**[10:02] mado**
A d-d-d-date?!
**[10:05] Kaz**
We wrote you very
detailed instructions in here.

**[10:37] Kaz**
What the hell is going on?
**[10:40] Kaz**
At the last minute, suddenly neither Daigo,
**[10:42] ---**
nor Koyori, nor Kasane can come.
**[10:45] mado**
It's sure strange!
**[10:47] mado**
I wonder what's going on...
**[10:49] Dai**
Ui and Ibuki had something planned
**[10:51] ---**
so they didn't bother inviting them.
**[10:53] Dai**
Ayumu has another sketching
meet up with the art club.
**[10:56] Dai**
It looks like it's just you and me, Madoka.
**[11:01] Dai**
We might as well have
fun for the rest of them!
**[11:08] mado**
Yes!
**[11:12] Kas**
Looks like it's going pretty well.
**[11:14] ---**
Hey...
**[11:15] Koy**
That's good,
**[11:17] ---**
but did I really have to come dressed like this?
**[11:20] Kaz**
Of course you did!
**[11:22] Kaz**
Daigo and I are wearing disguises,
**[11:25] ---**
so you have got to wear one too.
**[11:39] Kaz**
What ride do you want
to go on first, Madoka?
**[11:43] mado**
Hmm, let me think.
**[11:45] ---**
Umm...
**[11:47] mado**
The Dating Guidebook told me
***SIGN*** 1. Roller Coaster
**[11:49] ---**
to go on the roller coaster first...
**[11:53] mado**
I think I'd like to try the roller coaster first...
**[11:59] Kaz**
That's a surprise.
**[12:00] Kaz**
I would've thought you
wouldn't like these kinds of rides.
**[12:03] mado**
Oh no, I like them just fine.
**[12:09] Kaz**
You're doing great, Koumoto!
**[12:11] Kaz**
First you get the mood up by
**[12:13] ---**
going on the roller
coaster and screaming wildly.
**[12:16] Kaz**
That will make it easier
to talk to each other.
**[12:26] mado**
Make it stop!
**[12:27] mado**
Make it stop! Let me off!
**[12:29] mado**
Mommy!!!!!!!
**[12:37] Kaz**
Are you okay?
**[12:38] [SONG] Sign**
Haunted Mansion
**[12:41] Kaz**
Madoka, are you sure you
want to go in there next?
**[12:44] mado**
Of... of course!
**[12:46] mado**
I was raised in a shrine,
**[12:49] ---**
so the supernatural
doesn't faze me one bit!
**[12:54] Kaz**
Next is the classic for couples, the haunted mansion
**[12:58] Kaz**
Nothing like acting scared
and letting loose a scream
**[13:00] Kaz**
to get him to put his arms around you
and strengthen your bond!
**[13:13] [SONG] Sign**
Haunted Mansion
**[13:21] Kaz**
Madoka, I think it's okay now.
**[13:27] mado**
I'm... so sorry!
***SIGN*** Petting Zoo
**[13:39] mado**
Look Kazuma, he's eating it!
**[13:42] mado**
He's eating it!
**[13:43] Kaz**
The next stop is the Petting Zoo!
**[13:46] Kaz**
You start by feeding the cute bunnies
**[13:48] ---**
and as your hands
accidentally brush and touch,
**[13:49] Kaz**
next thing you know,
you're petting each other!
**[13:53] Kaz**
I'll try that too.
**[14:01] Kaz**
This one's a big eater!
**[14:03] Kaz**
He's just like Ui.
**[14:14] Kaz**
Wow!
**[14:18] Kas**
They say the way to a man's
heart is through his stomach.
**[14:21] Kas**
Bring a big, homemade lunch
**[14:23] txt**
Hungry Male
**[14:23] ---**
and you can wrap a hungry
guy right around your finger!
**[14:26] Kaz**
Did you make all of this yourself?
**[14:28] mado**
Yes.
**[14:29] mado**
I got up early to make it.
**[14:32] mado**
I hope you'll like it...
**[14:34] Kaz**
If Ui saw this,
she'd start drooling right away!
**[14:39] Kaz**
Thank you!
**[14:41] Kaz**
This is delicious!
**[14:48] Kaz**
Wow!
**[14:49] Kaz**
It sure is high at the top!
**[14:55] Kaz**
I had a lot of fun today, Madoka.
**[14:58] mado**
Yeah, me too.
**[15:00] Kaz**
We've got to come again,
with the others next time!
**[15:03] mado**
You're right.
**[15:04] mado**
Next time, we should
come with the others.
**[15:12] Kas**
They're here!
**[15:15] Koy**
Madoka doesn't look too happy.
**[15:19] Dai**
That's why little kids don't get it.
**[15:21] Koy**
What was that?!
**[15:22] Koy**
What do you mean, Daigoro?
**[15:24] Dai**
Looks to me like they are enjoying
**[15:26] ---**
that subtle and softly burning
**[15:27] ---**
embarrassment that comes after a kiss.
**[15:31] Koy**
You're saying that Kazuma and Madoka kissed?!
**[15:33] Dai**
I think so.
**[15:34] Koy**
So now what?!
**[15:36] Koy**
Are they going to get married?
**[15:38] Dai**
Umm... aren't you rushing things a bit?
**[15:40] Koy**
But, but... they kissed!
**[15:42] Koy**
They're going to have a baby!
**[15:44] Koy**
Then they have to get married quickly!
**[15:50] Koy**
What?
**[15:51] Koy**
What's so funny?
**[15:52] Koy**
This is no laughing matter!
**[16:20] mado**
Kazuma?
**[16:27] Kaz**
Madoka?! Your clothes...
**[16:29] mado**
I felt like wearing something different,
**[16:32] ---**
so I borrowed this from Koyori...
**[16:34] mado**
You don't like it?
**[16:36] Kaz**
No! That's not it at all!
**[16:39] Kaz**
I was just surprised,
because you looked different...
**[16:41] Kaz**
So how come you invited me
**[16:44] ---**
to go hiking with you all alone?
**[16:47] mado**
Well, I...
**[16:51] mado**
That's our bus!
***SIGN*** Inner Yamabiko
**[16:55] mado**
I'm so glad we made it!
**[16:57] mado**
If we missed this bus,
we'd really be waiting a long time.
**[17:01] Kaz**
Yeah.
**[17:14] Kaz**
So this is the mountain path
Ayumu was talking about.
**[17:17] mado**
It's actually not much
more than a hiking trail.
**[17:20] mado**
Even a child could easily walk up here.
**[17:22] mado**
I used to walk it myself all the
time when I was a little girl.
**[17:27] Kaz**
Wow, really?
**[17:37] Kaz**
This is...
**[17:42] mado**
Kazuma, hurry up!
**[17:45] kaz**
Okay.
**[17:56] mado**
I'll make us a spot here.
**[18:07] Kaz**
Got it!
**[18:28] Kaz**
Wait... were you that
girl from way back then?
**[18:40] mado**
I'd never really gotten along with boys
**[18:43] mado**
so I didn't have anyone to
play with in our neighborhood,
**[18:45] ---**
and I'd just come here by myself.
**[18:49] mado**
One day, I was up here again
and this boy came over
**[18:53] ---**
and started to play with me.
**[18:55] mado**
He was different somehow from
all the neighborhood boys.
**[18:59] mado**
He was so nice and wonderful.
**[19:02] ---**
He made me think of a prince.
**[19:08] mado**
We only played together that once,
**[19:11] ---**
but I never could forget him.
**[19:14] mado**
I've replayed that time in my mind
**[19:18] ---**
over and over again,
until it felt like
**[19:20] mado**
we really had played together all the time.
**[19:27] mado**
Thinking about it now,
**[19:29] ---**
I'm wondering if it might
have been love at first sight.
**[19:34] Kaz**
You could've just told
me the first time we met.
**[19:38] mado**
You're right.
**[19:40] mado**
I should've,
**[19:41] ---**
but the first time we met at my temple,
**[19:44] ---**
it was so sudden, and after that,
**[19:46] mado**
I just didn't know what to do anymore.
**[19:49] Kaz**
I guess lots of things started happening
**[19:51] ---**
and the time was never right.
**[19:55] mado**
I guess that was one reason,
**[19:56] ---**
but I think I was hoping that
**[19:58] mado**
I wouldn't have to say anything.
**[19:59] ---**
That you would remember
it and mention it yourself.
**[20:05] mado**
I had been thinking
about you for so long
**[20:07] mado**
that I hoped, on some small level,
**[20:09] ---**
even if it was only a one-hundredth
or a one-thousandth of all that,
**[20:12] mado**
you'd remember me yourself.
**[20:16] mado**
I wanted to think I had a place inside you,
**[20:19] ---**
however small it may be.
**[20:23] mado**
Even this outfit...
**[20:24] ---**
I picked it because I had
worn something like it that day.
**[20:27] mado**
I was hoping you might
remember if you saw it.
**[20:30] Kaz**
I'm sorry.
**[20:31] Kaz**
I had no idea you thought
about me like this.
**[20:34] Kaz**
I mean, I was a little kid
when that all happened.
**[20:38] Kaz**
I'm sure I had asked your name, but I'd forgotten.
**[20:40] Kaz**
And then, your hair was
short back then and you've...
**[20:44] ---**
changed a lot since then.
**[20:51] mado**
It's fine.
**[20:52] mado**
It's enough for me that
you remembered at all.
**[20:57] Kaz**
Madoka, I...
**[20:58] mado**
I know.
**[21:00] ---**
I know how you feel.
**[21:08] mado**
Kazuma, do you remember
**[21:11] ---**
what you said to me that day,
**[21:13] ---**
when we were saying our goodbyes?
**[21:16] Kaz**
Madoka...
**[21:19] mado**
Will you say it to me again?
**[21:39] mado**
This is weird, isn't it?
**[21:41] mado**
It's not like we won't
see each other again.
**[21:43] mado**
And here I am, crying...
**[21:49] Kaz**
That's right, Madoka.
**[21:52] Kaz**
We'll always be friends.
